Hudson & Rex (2019–…): Season 3, Episode 12 - Top Dog - full transcript

Tonight on CityNews.

We're here at the
Newfoundland All-Breed Dog Show

where 50 polished puppers
just went head-to-head

or snout-to-snout

to see who will represent the province

at the upcoming Nationals.

And in the dog days of this competition,

anything is possible.

Now over to Dale for the weather.

Can I turn it now?

Well, I mean the reason
I didn't enter you...



The reason I didn't enter you

is because I knew that
you would win too easily.

No, it is true.

Who's a good puppy?

Hmm? Who's best-in show?

Glockenspiel. That's who!

Francis!

Is the Glockster ready for a big run?

Oh, we're both ready!

And we plan to give you and Delilah

- a run for your money.
- Yeah.

Well, not if we have
anything to say about it.

- I'll catch you later.
- Mm-hmm.

Come on, girl.



Those tattoos shouldn't be allowed

- at a respectable dog show.
- I don't know, Juliet.

It brings a little drama and
variety into our little world,

- don't you think?
- There have to be standards!

Otherwise, what are we left with?

For those of you just joining us,

we are down to our final competitors.

Currently, Juliet
Tatum is in first place

with her dog, Muffy.

And it looks like
Head Judge Martin Baker

wearing his signature
mustard tuxedo as always

has arrived to oversee our
final dog and handler teams,

the best of the best.

Our next competitor is Bianca Jones

and her Australian shepherd, Nico.

And they're off!

Through the tunnel, making the
contacts for a perfect A-frame.

And now a series of
jumps for a clean run.

It's hard to believe
these two are rookies.

And through the final tunnel

- for a time of 35.45 seconds.
- Good boy! Good boy!

- You did it!
- Here's a nice show of support

for Bianca and Nico from veteran handler

Francis Norton and his dog Glockenspiel.

Bear with us now

as the height of the jump is adjusted

for our small-breed standard height.

It looks as though our course
modifications are complete.

So, let's welcome our
second-to-last finalist,

Veteran Glockenspiel and
his handler, Francis Norton.

Although it looks like our dog is
going to run the course on his own.

This is very odd.

Seems as if he's gone
under the judges' table.

Help! We need a doctor!

Is there a doctor in the house?

Somebody please! Help!

Oh! Hi, Rex.

- Charlie.
- What have we got?

Dog owner competing for a
spot in the upcoming Nationals.

His name is Francis Norton.

That's a heck of a lot of blood.

- His carotid artery was severed.
- Murder weapon?

No sign of one yet.

Though it looks like his skin was
perforated with something narrow.

- Was anything taken?
- There was no wallet here.

I suppose it's a pretty
risky place for a robbery.

The killer would have had
no way of getting in or out

without passing all the dog people.

Someone must have seen something.

Maybe the dog people were all
distracted by their four-legged friends.

What have you got, partner?

Maybe the killer was
hiding behind the curtain.

- There's nothing back here.
- Let's bag it.

Now who is in charge of this thing?

What a tragedy.

He was such a lovely man.

Did Francis have parents?

Children? Maybe a partner?

His parents have both passed.

And he's never had a boyfriend
in all the years I've known him.

So no support network or family?

The dog show circuit is
a tight-knit community.

We were his family.

- Of course. I'm very sorry for your loss.
- Thank you.

Are we done here, Detective?

- I need to get back to work.
- Something pressing to attend to?

I need to re-schedule the competition.

Your stage is a crime scene.

We still need to establish our winner!

The Nationals are in three days.

They're not going to wait for us.

We'll release the crime
scene as soon as we can

but if it hasn't sunken in,

one of the contestants was murdered.

Francis would have
wanted the show to go on.

Well, unfortunately, that is not
something we can confirm with him.

Now, do you know of anyone
who had issues with Francis?

No! He was very well-liked
in the canine crown circles.

More likely, it was
someone from outside.

Why would you say that?

Dog exhibiting is an expensive hobby.

And Francis was a wealthy man.

So you're assuming that his
murder has to do with a robbery?

Where were you when
Francis was murdered?

Besides being the show's director,

I'm also one of the judges.

So I was at my spot
at the judges' table.

Did you see anyone near
Francis when he was killed?

No.

But Anton Pleschette and his dog Delilah

were to be up next.

He's a bit of an outsider.

I thought you said you were like family.

Every family has its bad apple.

Huh.

I was so focused on Delilah's run,

I didn't even notice
Francis wasn't there.

I went back to check in on him.

It still hasn't sunk in yet.

You and Francis were close?

Yeah, we were really close.

Francis...

He was the best human I know.

Hmm.

How long did you know each other?

About four years.

We were both loners.

Preferred dogs to people.

I had Delilah. He had Glockenspiel.

Our dogs got along like a house on fire.

And we discovered we did too.

Did you meet through the dog world?

Well, the truth is, we met in AA.

You were the closest to
Francis when he was murdered.

Yeah, I know how this looks.

I'm an ex-con.

Tattoos and a pit bull.

Yeah, I was just going to
ask if you saw anything.

I might look like a criminal

but Francis saw past all that.

He had a... He had a huge heart.

One time in AA, I mentioned how

it would have been really good for me

to have a canine companion
while I was inside.

That gave Francis the idea to start up

the dog prison program together.

We'd pair prisoners with
difficult dogs from kill shelters.

The dogs get spared their lives

and prisoners get to practice empathy.

That's the kind of person Francis was.

So how did you get from
the prison dog program

- to competing here?
- Through Francis.

He got me and Delilah
involved in agility

and he got some of the
regular dog show people

to do some volunteering
at the prison program.

Like Bianca.

You know, you still haven't
answered my question.

No, I didn't see anyone.

Okay, I told you my
focus was on Delilah.

Whoever it was must
have escaped in the dark.

Wait, it was dark?

Yeah, for about a minute,

to change the course
for the smaller dogs.

Did you see anything when
the lights came back up?

Only that someone had
murdered my friend.

Our friend Anton spent
some time in prison

so his prints are likely on file.

Yeah, except I didn't find any
prints on or around the body. So...

I have nothing to compare his prints to.

- No luck with the curtain?
- No, I've combed it from top to bottom.

Maybe it was the scent of other
dogs that Rex was picking up on?

Yeah, maybe. Rex usually
knows better than that.

- What else you got?
- Well, Francis was restrained from behind.

There was an incision right
along the front side of his neck

from left to right suggesting
the murderer was right-handed.

- Along with ninety percent of the human race.
- Yeah.

We were able to make some
headway with the weapon though.

I was able to make a
digital reconstruction.

Oh, fun!

It was, actually.

Here. Take a look.

That's the cutting blade
of an open pair of scissors

but curved scissors.

Like a pair of dog-grooming scissors.

Yeah, I'm sorry I don't have
anything more definitive.

Maybe Jesse had better luck.

I've got nothing.

The camera crew's footage
is entirely dog close-ups.

Our inside cameras got nothing

and the exit nearest to the
murder site is in a blind spot.

Which suggests that our killer

is familiar with the
surveillance on site.

What about the holding area?

Well as you can see, it's in full view.

The info Anton gave you about
the lights going off checks out.

A minute is not a lot of time.

Yeah, you'd have to be efficient
but it's not impossible.

Francis was wealthy.

Somehow, we need to
come up with his will

to find out who stood to
benefit from his death.

Anton was closest with Francis.

He was also closest to
him when he was murdered.

He's also an ex-con.

Jesse, find me some information
about this Anton character.

Oh yeah. One step ahead of you.

His name is Anton Pleschette.

He was in and out of
prison throughout his 20s

for a string of robberies with
a guy named Ryker Williams.

His last charge was two years ago.

He was let out early for good behavior

but has been clean ever since.

Has he really been clean though?

It appears he's been squeakily so.

He delivers cautionary
convict tales to at-risk youth.

Talks about rehabilitation.

That's in line with the philosophy
of the prison dog program.

So no one's seen anyone?

No, but we do know someone
who smelled something.

Rex, he led us to that
curtain for a reason.

Sarah found no physical evidence on it

- but maybe Rex caught the perp's scent.
- Mm-hmm.

You know the finalists,

they wanted to have a private
toast to Francis at the arena.

- So?
- So if we release the crime scene,

maybe they'll have it there.

That'll put all the finalists
in one room together.

And if our murderer is among them...

That'd be the perfect
tracking opportunity for Rex.

To quote Proverbs:

Even in death,

the righteous shall find refuge.

Francis, old friend,

wherever you might be,
I hope you're surrounded

by all the things you loved.

Good books. Good chocolate.

And above all else good dogs.

Here's to Francis.

To Francis.

Ah! He's a handsome boy.

Though he does seem to
have some boundary issues.

Yeah, we like to call it friendly.

Oh my!

Rather forward, isn't he?

We're working on that.

Oh.

I guess he must smell my dog.

Uh, Detective,

nice of you to join us.

I see you brought a lady friend.

I...

I'm just going to go refresh my water.

I think I'll join him.

I need another drink too.

- Oh, Wendall...
- Okay, so is that,

- is that everyone?
- Not quite.

- Ah, such a sweetheart!
- I'm sorry about that.

- We're a work in progress.
- Oh, honey. We are all a work in progress.

You should enter Rex in
the dog show next year.

He's one good looking shepherd.

Juliet!

That poor bitch.

Excuse me?

To have an owner who's
constantly trying to upstage you.

Sequins? At a wake? So tacky.

I'm not sure she's that bad.

She said that Rex would do
really great in the competition.

Well, for the right price,
he could probably even win.

What do you mean?

Let's just say that Trixie the
terrier didn't win Nationals last year

because of her mad trot skills.

Francis even called out a certain judge

for having something to do with it.

Are you saying that Francis
accused a judge of taking kickbacks?

We're going to need to
know that judge's name.

Um...

Martin.

But maybe Francis was
just being paranoid.

It was just a rumour. I don't know.

Well, Martin was judging the
dogs when the murder took place.

No, he wasn't. I saw him leave
shortly before it happened.

- It is odd that Martin's not here.
- Yeah.

Especially since he considers
the contestants like family.

Maybe we should see if
Martin can pass the Rex test.

Come on, pal.

Oh. It's you.

I already sent the security footage.

- Is there something else you need?
- How about the truth?

We know you weren't at the judges' table

- when the murder took place.
- Oh, you're being obtusely literal.

Judges move around the space

to view dogs from a different angle.

Now I've got re-scheduling to do.

So if you'd kindly leave me to it.

Please control your dog.

I don't need him slobbering
all over my paperwork!

This is beyond the pale!

What have you got, Rex?

Good boy, Rex.

Listen, I get that you
have a job to do, but,

you have absolutely no right
to barge in here like this.

I don't even know what
you're expecting to...

find! I... Uhhh...

These scissors from Martin's room

are consistent with the wound

and the blood type matches the victim's.

Plus we have a witness
that busts Martin's alibi.

It's pretty damning.

Something does strike me as strange.

There were no prints on the weapon.

Maybe the killer wore gloves.

Yeah, but if the killer was
careful enough to wear gloves,

they should have been careful enough
to wipe the blood off the weapon.

Yeah. And smart enough not to
leave the weapon at the scene.

And in such an obvious place?

Unless of course it's a frame job.

I mean,

it does explain why Rex
didn't pick up Martin's scent.

The scent of the blood was a
stronger pull than Martin's scent.

What do you think, Rex?
Should we give it another try?

Thank you for agreeing to speak to me.

This is all a horrible mistake.

Martin, I'm not here to chat.

Really?

He didn't bark.

- Meaning?
- Meaning Rex thinks you're innocent.

Me, however, I'm going
to take some convincing.

So why don't we start with

where you were during the
time of Francis's murder?

I told you, I was viewing the dogs!

No no. Because we have a witness

who says you weren't there
during the time of the murder.

Oh.

I went to the washroom.

Shall I confirm that
with the security footage?

Martin, you lied about your
whereabouts at the time of the murder.

We have you with the murder weapon.

We also have multiple witnesses

who said that Francis
accused you of taking bribes.

Okay, yes.

I was offered a bribe!

From who?

From whom.

A handler.

He didn't make it past first round.

But I assumed he had a vested interest

in one of the remaining four dogs.

I was told to meet him outside. But...

he never showed.

I'm going to need a name.

Sam Barker.

He was registered with a mixed breed

but never made it
past the preliminaries.

Now, there are no living
Sam Barkers in Newfoundland

nor anyone by that name
on any recent flights.

So this guy uses a fake name

and poses as a dog handler

and he figures that
Martin as a corrupt judge

would make the perfect
patsy. So he murders Francis

and frames him for it.

And then disappears without a trace.

Well, he couldn't disappear entirely.

- What about all that footage?
- Well,

I scrolled through the dog
show footage and came up donuts.

The camera just follows the dogs.

What about the security camera?

Well, here's where it gets interesting.

Now the angle is bad,

but at some point every one of
the 50 contestants walked by.

I was able to identify
every single one of them,

except...

our suspect.

Yeah.

Here he is, cleaned up and enhanced.

Dressed like a celebrity in hiding.

And dodging security cameras like a pro.

So we're likely looking
for a seasoned criminal.

Still, if he was posing as a handler,

someone must have seen him.

Well, he and his dog were
assigned a bench, next to Juliet's.

Huh.

Maybe she can give us a description.

Yeah, I hear you pal. Come on.

He was tremendously elegant.

Truly, he had a beautiful body.

Lovely proportions.

What colour hair did he have?

A snowy white. And very thick.

- One thing surprised me about him.
- What was that?

He had a voracious
appetite for one so small.

- So he was a small man?
- Man?

- Oh no, I'm talking about the dog.
- Wait.

He was a small...

dog. Okay, uh...

But small for what...

Roscoe. That's what he called him.

Roscoe was no Retriever. He
was some type of... terrier?

Okay, how about the owner?

I didn't take much notice of him.

I think he was wearing a sports hat.

Do you mean a baseball cap?

How tall was he? Or
approximately how old?

Medium height. Medium age.

Anything else you noticed about him

other than his medium-ness?

Honestly, no.

He spent most of his
time outside, smoking.

- Where?
- By the recycling bins out back.

Thank you. Rex.

Hey, Jesse, I was hoping to find a
cigarette butt or something out here

but it looks like this Sam Barker

has managed to sweep away
every sign of himself.

Wait a sec. Rex seems
to have found something.

Nice job, partner.

And Jesse,

give Sarah a call. I think I'm
going to need her to rush a DNA test.

The DNA test confirmed the
dog is a West Highland terrier.

They're known as Westies for short.

Yeah, Sam Barker completely
lied on his registration form.

That is not a mixed
breed. It's a Westie.

Well, that's a visual match to the dog

that Juliet Tatum described to Charlie.

- It is.
- Yeah, see, West Highland terriers

they're pretty uncommon
on this, you know,

east island.

There are only a handful of
licensed breeders in Newfoundland.

Now based on Sarah's
estimated age of our Westie,

two litters were found in
contention. Twelve dogs.

- Were you able to track down the owners?
- Almost all of them.

A good number of the dogs
were sold out-of-province.

Seven of them were
licensed to local residents.

It was a bit of a wild
goose chase. But then,

the breeder did say that one
of the pups was returned twice.

- A problem dog?
- Exactly, yeah.

The breeder brought him back to
the pound. So I called them up

and they knew exactly which
Westie I was talking about.

Any idea where he went?

He was adopted

by the prison dog program.

So, Francis's killer had a prison
therapy dog in the competition.

But what did the dog prison program
have to do with the dog show?

Francis and Anton started the program.

- Anton's a silent partner.
- He's a silent partner?

That's odd. He always
seems so proud of it.

He's listed on all the incorporation
documents. He's totally hands off.

He also mentioned that Bianca
volunteered for the program.

She was listed more than anyone else.

She's signed in at
Iron Port Penitentiary

17 times in the last month.

Rex.

The prison program has been such
an important part of my life.

It got me outside of myself, you know?

Wasn't it Francis that got you involved?

Most of these rich-dog owner types

look down their noses
at me. But not Francis.

Huh. Well, I understand
Francis who put up the money

for the pilot program.

So I was told, yeah.

This Westie, Roscoe.

You didn't see him at the dog show?

We must have had different
time slots for the prelim rounds

because I definitely would
have noticed otherwise.

Yeah, any idea how someone could
have gotten him out of the prison

- and into the dog show venue?
- He had a vet appointment.

Who brought him?

The prison transport, I guess.

- You know the transport guy?
- No.

Transport's a whole
different thing from us.

But I did hear that the prison
hires newly-released ex-cons,

guys who are having a hard
time finding work to be drivers.

I don't know if that's true, but...

You know who makes the schedule?

Prison admin. They'll be able
to give you a name for sure.

Thanks.

The real name of our mysterious
suspect is Harry Nichol.

He was released from Iron Port
Penitentiary two weeks ago.

- Was he part of the dog program?
- No.

But you'll never guess who
his former cellmate was.

- I don't like to guess, Jesse.
- You don't want to guess?

- No.
- Ryker.

- Anton's old partner in crime.
- Bingo.

So Harry Nichol,

our suspect,

formally known as Sam Barker,

- was cellmates with...
- Ryker.

Also Anton's old partner

who was coincidentally part
of this dog prison program.

Started by Francis.

Oh boy.

All right.

I'm going to try to track down
Harry Nichol through the system.

Charlie, I want you to talk to Ryker.

See if you can get him to
account for his whereabouts.

On it. Let's go, pal.

Inmate prison tranfer 2148.

Inmate prison tranfer 2148.

Okay, Tiny. I want you to leave it.

Leave it. Dammit Tiny!

Silly goof!

- Okay.
- That's the hardest one.

Once you teach her that,
everything else is easy.

Detective Hudson. This
is my partner, Rex.

I understand that Harry
Nichol was your cellmate

- until about a week ago.
- So?

So we're looking for him.

- Any idea where he might be?
- Nope.

Hmm.

Officer Connors, Cell 579.

- Officer Connors, 579.
- Hey, buddy.

You know a guy named Anton Pleschette?

- Yeah.
- You talk to him lately?

Maybe see him?

- Nope.
- How about Francis Norton?

Look, just because I like your dog

doesn't mean I have
anything to say to you.

Your badge doesn't give
you any leverage in here.

Come on, Tiny. Let's go.

Come on, girl.

I finally got my hands
on Francis's will today.

Check this out. His entire
three million dollar estate

is going to... Glockenspiel.

Wait.

- The dog?
- Mm-hmm.

Is that a thing?

- Apparently it is, yeah.
- Rex, take note.

How's a dog going to spend
three million dollars?

I guess his owner has a few ideas.

Anton.

So now all that money

effectively goes to him?

So Anton gets Ryker to hire his
newly-freed cellmate, Harry Nichol,

- to murder Francis.
- We have our motive.

We need to get Anton.

You know the drill.

Any idea where I can find Anton?

You just missed him. He
left his dogs and took off.

Rex!

Come on, pal.

Anton.

Rex go!

Stay back!

- What's going on?
- You're under arrest

for the murder of Francis Norton.

Come on.

That's crazy, man.

You think I conspired
with my ex-partner, Ryker

and his cellmate,
Harry, to murder Francis

the only guy who was ever decent to me?

With Francis dead, his dog is yours.

Oh, so I had Francis
murdered to get his dog?

Glockenspiel does come with
a pretty big pile of cash.

I love that dog.

We dog people think about
where our dogs would go

if something should
unexpectedly happen to us.

If something happens to Juliet,

her housekeeper will take her dog.

If something happens to me,

Bianca will take custody of Delilah.

I assume you have
someone in line for Rex?

That's just how we dog
people operate, man.

- Well maybe, but...
- I had nothing to do with this.

Then why'd you run?

Did Ryker tip you off?

No. I was scared.

- Of getting caught?
- Of being murdered.

Why?

Those scissors were meant for me.

The show switched the
order at the last minute

because Delilah doesn't
get along with Bianca's dog.

Okay. So,

- Francis's killer mistook Francis for you.
- Yeah.

And he knows it by now.
And he's still out there.

So I took off!

Who would have a reason
to put a hit out on you?

Ryker.

He brought a gun to our last big job.

We agreed no guns.

He popped a shot off at the teller!

- You made a deal?
- I told them what I saw.

I took the deal and Ryker took the fall!

I guess he's still out for blood.

Yeah, that's right.

That bastard ratted me
out to save his own skin.

So you put a hit out on him

- and now an innocent man is dead.
- What?

No, I would never put
a hit out on Anton.

Ah, let me guess. Everything's
forgiven now. It's all rosy.

I didn't say that.

I'm saying if I wanted him dead,

I'd do it myself.

Well, I guess it's a good
thing you're still in prison.

Look, I know you're
working with Harry Nichol

and someone in the dog show.

If it it's not Anton, who is it?

What is that?

Every time you
volunteered at the program,

it was with the same inmate, Ryker.

Um, yeah, we sort of... bonded.

Define bonded.

Because Rex found this
sequin on his shirt.

Yeah. I sort of fell for him.

I imagine that that's against the rules.

It is. I didn't mean for it to happen.

Oh my God. I sound so cliché.

I tried to break it off.

But he got so mad,

saying that he didn't
want to live anymore

and it was all my fault.

He demanded a reason, saying
that he wouldn't accept it

unless I was in love with someone else

and so I got scared

and I just said the first
name that came into my head.

Francis.

Ryker said he was going to kill him

but I didn't take it
seriously because...

he's on the inside.

I got the kindest guy
in the world killed

because I'm an idiot.

You're not an idiot.

You're also not the first person

to fall in love with a convicted felon.

I'd do anything to go back in
time and do everything different.

Francis would still be here.

Well, we can't bring back Francis

but we might be able bring
his killer to justice.

How?

I'm going to need you to go
back in and talk to Ryker.

And don't let on that you want
to break things off with him.

At least not yet.

But he just killed Francis!

We think that it was Ryker's
cellmate, Harry Nichol,

who killed Francis.

You may be the only way that we
can find out where he's hiding.

We will take care of you and
make sure that you're safe.

And then you can officially
break things off with Ryker

once Harry is safely behind bars.

I'll do it for Francis.

Well, it looks like Anton's clear.

- We've just released him.
- So Ryker thought

that Bianca and Francis
were having an affair.

He gets jealous and gets his
ex-cellmate Harry to kill him?

Yeah, it looks that way.
Now Bianca's working to see

if she can get Harry's
whereabouts from him.

Oh guys. I've scraped every piece

of social media I could on this guy

but I did identify four
pubs that he's frequented.

They're all over town.
So he could be anywhere.

Okay great you get me
the names of those pubs

and I'll get some plain clothes
officers on him right away.

That may not be necessary.

I talked to Ryker on the phone

and pretended there was
still a chance for us

and subtly shifted the conversation
to Harry, like you asked.

Any idea where he might be?

No, but I did find out
Harry has a girlfriend

at the oyster place on Water.

Oh, that might be all we need.

You did good work, Bianca.

Then why do I feel so bad?

Don't worry, you'll never
have to see Ryker again.

Except I have to go back to
the prison to pick up my dog.

I don't want to risk Ryker taking
out his anger towards me on Tiny.

Well, we can co-ordinate
with the prison guards

and we can make sure that you and Ryker

never have to cross paths.

Deal?

Deal.

Tiny will love watching the
finals with me backstage.

Oh!

You want to watch the show, do you?

You guys should come!

I'll put your names on
the list at the door.

Okay. Thank you.

Hey.

I'm just waiting for Tiny.

I've got some forms for you to sign.

- Perfect.
- Thanks.

Hey. Bianca's lead checked out.

Our guys were able to
nab Harry on Water Street

en route to visit his girlfriend.

Poor guy had no idea what hit him.

Well, that poor guy is why
Francis's family is grieving today.

Not to mention
Glockenspiel. Right, partner?

Oh. We should go.

Oh! Yes, we should.

Where are you three headed?

Oh, Bianca invited us to the redux
of the dog show finals, remember?

Oh, wow. You should be honoured.

I hear they only let the
judges and finalists in there.

Well, I guess that's
the power of Rex, huh?

We'll see you tomorrow.

Nice work today, everybody.

Nice to wrap one up before lunch!

Hey there, Joe?

Sir?

Hey, big guy!

I thought you just got picked up!

Let's go, Rex!

We don't want to miss
the agility run, do we?

There's something in there.

Bianca!

Next up, Glockenspiel.

Beloved companion of
the late Francis Norton.

Acting as Glockenspiel's handler,

will be Anton Pleschette.

Let's see what these two can do.

And they're off!

Up the A frame for a great start!

I didn't know! It thought
it was Tiny in the crate!

It was Ryker! Ryker is in
there gunning for Anton!

This dog means business.

Mr. Norton would have been
proud of this performance.

Police!

Everybody down!

Anton! Get off the course!

Ughh!

You okay?

Ughh!

Aghhh!

Ryker, you're under arrest!

Nice work, partner.

Sounds like it was one for the ages.

I bet you someone got video.

Any word on Anton?

Yeah. Both he and Bianca
were taken to the hospital.

Anton's in pretty rough
shape but he's going to live.

And Bianca was checked out and released.

I just don't understand how
someone could fall for Ryker.

How does a guy like that worm
their way into women's hearts?

- Maybe he didn't.
- What do you mean?

Well, I noticed when I untied Bianca,

there was no rope burn on her wrists.

And then when I took a
closer look at the rope,

there was virtually no wear and tear.

No signs of struggle?

- Well, that's only possible if...
- She was in on it.

Wait. That doesn't make any sense.

What motive would she have?

Francis gave custody
of Glockenspiel to Anton

- in the event of his death.
- So?

So Anton gave custody
of his dogs to Bianca

in the event of his death.

And Glockenspiel now belongs to Anton.

Along with the three million dollars.

So if anything happens
to Francis or Anton,

then Bianca becomes the sole
beneficiary of Francis's estate.

And Ryker was just about
to finish off her dirty work

when Rex interrupted her plan.

Which means her work isn't done.

We need to find Bianca

- before she gets to Anton.
- Rex!

Ugh!

You looking for this?

You know what this is?

Anton's will.

See, Francis left

his three million dollar dog to Anton

and Anton left that same dog to you.

I didn't know that.

Yeah, you did.

You also knew about
Ryker and Anton's history

and that Ryker wanted revenge.

I have no idea what
you're talking about.

Which made him a very powerful tool

because you could get
him to do your dirty work

with nobody being the wiser.

All you needed to do was
get him to fall for you.

Wait, what?

I told you, I fell for Ryker.

I'm the victim!

No, you're not the victim.

Let's forget about Anton
and just get out of here.

Go live our lives like we talked about.

Anton is what's standing between
us and three million dollars.

We don't need that money.

We'll figure something out.

You took a hit out on Francis.

Might I remind you that the
trail leads to you and you alone?

Because you asked me to!

You said he was stalking you!

I'm beginning to wonder
if that was actually true!

Yes, it's true!

And so is this!

If you miss this opportunity,
you'll always regret it.

Ah, jeez.

We'll meet at the cabin
after, just like we planned.

Okay.

I love you.

You never had any intention

of meeting Ryker anywhere.

Did you?

Uhhh!

You've got no evidence against me.

We have more than enough
evidence against you.

You know you told me
that you couldn't stand

the rich people at the dog show?

I think you couldn't stand
not being one of them.

I heard that Anton's using
the money he inherited

to make this pilot
program a permanent thing.

These dogs deserve better than me.

Looks like you've got a visitor.

Hey, Anton.

I heard you started
this prison dog thing.

Yeah.

You did that for me?

And then I tried to kill you.

Yeah.

These dogs are my lifeline, man.

Thanks.

Come on, partner.

- Oh hey!
- Hey.

- How'd it go?
- Well for a prison visit, it went pretty good.

- You get my text?
- About tonight? Yeah, count me in.

I thought it was time that we
had people over to our new pad.

Great! I'll bring the vino.

We've got lots to celebrate!

Huh buddy?

Give me some paw action.

Yeah!

Hey, Sarah, there's been something
I've been wanting to ask you.

Sounds serious.

Would you take Rex

if something were to happen to me?

- I mean, nothing's going to happen to you.
- Yeah, no, I know.

It's...

The K9 unit might assign him to
a different partner. But, um...

it doesn't always happen.

In which case, he would need a more

- permanent domestic situation.
- That's right.

If it's too big of an ask...

- don't'...
- No. No no no.

I would be honoured.

That's, that's great.

I'm very glad.

What do you think?

Huh? I'd be your new mom! Hey, pal?

You and me hanging out on the bed.

Uh, he's not allowed on the bed.

Eating chocolate ice cream.

Chocolate is actually
pretty lethal for dogs.

Watching 90 Day Fiancé, huh?

In your cute little dog sweater!

Wearing your matching cap and booties!

You can't...

- You're joking.
- Yeah, I'm joking.

You're cruel, Doctor.

Very cruel.

So, $1700 for the coffee maker?

And it doesn't work!

Well, it used to!

- No, it's too strong.
- What do you guys think?

- Should we have a toast?
- Thanks, partner.

Huh? To another case closed?

- Cheers!
- Hey!

- Cheers.
- Cheers.

Mmmm!

You know what? We should
also be celebrating Rex.

Talk about a viral sensation!

Rex's highest number of views so far.

It's going to be hard to
top that one. Eh, buddy?

I think he'll think of something.

You always do. Don't you, partner?
