Hudson & Rex (2019–…): Season 3, Episode 14 - The Secret Life of Levi - full transcript
After Jesse's close friend vanishes, Charlie and Rex discover the man was living two separate lives.
KO!
Modius wins!
Good game, good game.
Yeah. Hey, it's late. I've got to go.
Sorry.
Who are the real-world Illuminati ?
Find out @ saveanilluminati.com
No, he's going to get a breaking pitch.
And he... Uhhhh!
Oh, pizza's here!
Come in!
Oh, Jesse! I thought you
were a pepperoni extra cheese.
I get that a lot. Listen,
I just saw my friend Bonnie.
Yeah. Your buddy from high school.
Yeah, how did you know that?
Remember she threw that surprise
party, for your birthday?
- Her and her boyfriend?
- Oh yeah, Levi.
Her fiancé now.
Oh! Mazel Tov.
He didn't come home last night.
Maybe he...
- just tied one on?
- No, unlikely.
I mean, he's super disciplined.
He's got a major tournament this week.
- Tournament?
- Yeah. Levi's an eSports athlete.
Jesse, calling a gamer an athlete,
it's a little bit um...
- ridiculous.
- Really?
Anyway, look, I'm sure it's nothing,
but I promised Bonnie that I
would stop by the gamer café
to check in on Levi.
Ahhh!
Give me five, pal.
Attaboy.
Attaboy.
Oh, yeah. So you probably need
me for my police expertise.
What? No, not you.
No... Rex.
Oh.
Okay, Rex. We've done this
before. You know the drill.
Hi. Excuse me.
I'm looking for a friend of
mine and I'm wondering if...
I'm wondering if you saw him last night?
Give me a minute. Just
about to unlock a level.
Sure. Oh wow.
Wow, is this Urban Combat?
- Yeah.
- Oh I love this game!
Super retro graphics!
It's so addictive!
Tell me about it. World
tournament starts today.
Yeah, yeah I know. My
friend is competing.
Oh, do the Super-nitro Flip!
Yeah yeah. Oh yeah, those buttons!
Total knockout! There it is!
- There it is!
- Yes!
There it is!
Oh I love this game.
Well done!
- The friend you're looking for?
- Huh?
Yeah. Yeah yeah yeah. Here.
Was he here last night?
Oh, this guy! Yeah, he was here.
Took down one of the best fighters.
He packed up and left around 11:00.
Uh-huh.
Did he say where he was going?
Not to me.
Do you mind airdropping me this?
Thanks.
Okay, Rex.
Appreciate it. Rex!
Bonnie. Hi, it's Jesse.
So, Levi left here around 11:00.
I'm gonna keep looking for him, okay?
I have Levi's sweatshirt you gave me
and I'm here with our secret weapon.
Bye.
Okay, Rex.
Let's do this, huh?
All right, track.
Oh, wow. That really works.
What's this?
Jesse.
You all right?
- We'll find him.
- Okay.
Hey, Sarah.
Hey.
Okay, so we've got blood-splatter
on a lone shoe that Jesse
identified as Levi's.
Drag marks in the snow.
Carjacking gone wrong?
Well, the path is a car length.
Maybe the carjacker
moved Levi to the trunk?
There's no blood in the snow.
So he was still alive
when he went in the car.
Yeah and hopefully
he gets out alive too.
Huh.
What have you got, pal?
A cell phone.
Must have got tossed out the
window while they were on the move.
There's more blood.
That's not good.
What is it?
Oh, I'll know more back at the lab.
Okay. Hey, listen, uh,
I should go talk to Bonnie,
Levi's fiancée.
Rex and I will go with you.
Come on, pal.
Aghh... no!
Come on! No!
- No!
- Come on! Let's see it!
Ughhhh.
Sorry.
Yesterday I was compiling
videos for the wedding.,
now I can't stop watching them.
I didn't know you guys set a date.
We haven't.
Last night, Levi said he needed a break
from all the wedding talk.
He said he would be back soon, but
- maybe he just took off on me.
- No. No no no.
Levi would never take off on you.
Levi's sedan was stolen last night.
Okay.
Was he hurt?
Well, we haven't found
Levi yet but um...
there was some blood at the scene.
Is he dead? Just tell me.
Bonnie, listen. There's
no evidence of that.
The blood could be from a
fight, an accident maybe.
Does Levi have any
enemies that you know of?
No.
He has eSports enemies.
But those are fake.
- Virtual rivalries for entertainment.
- Yeah.
Levi is anonymous in the gaming world.
He doesn't use a face cam. So,
the audience can just
focus on the gameplay.
He was also super careful
about not giving out
his personal information.
Did he carry anything
expensive with him?
Just his customized gaming controller.
But it's pretty beat up.
Yeah, its value is purely sentimental.
He must be so scared right now.
Jesse.
- You've got to find him.
- We will, okay?
Our whole team is on it.
Okay, so do you still think Levi
was abducted in the carjacking?
We have reason to believe
that it was a targeted attack.
Your friend may have secrets, Jesse.
Levi's been withdrawing
a thousand dollars a month
for years from his personal account.
It's possible Levi was
involved in something
- that he shouldn't have been.
- Levi? No. No.
His whole life is video games,
his IT company, and Bonnie.
Sorry. The blood on the cell phone
matches the blood at the scene.
Likely, it's Levi's.
Unfortunately, the
prints are compromised.
So it's all yours, Jesse.
I think it's password protected.
How long do you think
it'll take you to crack it?
I know his password.
It's SiO2, the chemical
compound for Amethyst.
- Bonnie's birthstone.
- Good.
Jesse, see if you can match
Levi's bank withdrawals
with the GPS on his phone.
Looks like he went straight from
the bank immediately across town.
Yeah, to the same location
every time like clockwork.
Looks to me like a
young man with a habit.
Maybe drugs? Gambling?
Other proclivities?
Rex and I will go check it out.
Be careful, Charlie.
You don't know what you may find there.
Rainey Gill? I'm Detective Hudson.
- This is...
- The most adorable creature I've ever seen!
Just give me one second. I left
the iron on in the laundry room.
Sure.
Don't let that go to your head. Right?
Okay, track it, pal.
Huh.
Did you drink some of my coffee? Hey!
- Easy. Easy!
- Ah!
He must be smelling my
neighbour's Jack Russell.
No, I don't think so.
I think my canine partner
is picking up the
presence of a Levi Gill.
I can assure you he's not here.
Ah, what's his scent
doing all over your house?
Because Levi's my husband.
Okay, so,
- Levi is your husband?
- Yes.
What are you trying to tell me, pal?
Why is he asking about Dad?
I'm not sure, Scout.
Can I pet your dog?
Yeah, his name is Rex. Go on over, pal.
You know, Rex loves exercise
and if it's okay with your mom,
would you play fetch with him?
In the back yard, Bunny.
Come on! Come on Rex!
Now please. What is this is about?
Levi has been reported missing.
- He was last seen yesterday at 11:00 PM.
- What?
You didn't realize
your husband was gone?
Levi works out of town a lot!
He said he'd be back next week!
Do you recognize this woman?
Yeah. That's his friend Bonnie.
Rainey, Levi and Bonnie aren't
friends. They're engaged.
And according to phone records,
you haven't tried to
contact your husband
since his phone's been
in police possession.
I'm pre-med with a 7-year-old.
I've been studying for a
mid-term under a mountain of Lego.
I don't even know what day it is.
It's Wednesday.
And I need to know where
you were last night.
She was at home alone with Scout.
Who's Scout?
- Levi's daughter.
- What?
Jesse, did Levi ever even
allude to Rainey and Scout?
No, no.
Yeah okay, well Rainey's been receiving
monthly cash payments from Levi
which explains the
thousand dollar withdrawals.
And City Hall verified the marriage.
So, Bonnie's the other woman?
A clerk said that someone
pulled the marriage
records earlier this week.
Anything on the car?
Yeah, we've broadcasted the description
and placed the vehicle
on special attention.
Yeah. I'm going to follow
up on that right now.
I found microscopic amounts
of white residue in the
tread of Levi's shoe.
I don't know if it's anything yet
but I'll have results on it soon.
Jesse, anything else you
can tell us about this guy?
He's been living a double life.
Sometimes people fake
their disappearances
- so that they can start fresh somewhere else.
- No, no.
No, the Levi I know,
he couldn't do that.
Everything I knew about him is a lie.
No, no, look. The way
he felt about you wasn't.
- I can't know that.
- Look,
Bonnie, you were his Sunshine.
- I wonder what he called her.
- Don't. Don't do that to yourself.
I'm sorry. One sec.
Charlie, hi.
Really? Okay.
Somebody found Levi's backpack.
His wallet and gaming gear were gone.
This could be good for us.
- Thanks. Got to go.
- Okay.
Levi is a real contender in
this Urban Combat tournament.
I mean, maybe someone abducted him
and forced him to play on their behalf.
How much prize money can
there be for a video game?
The purse is a quarter mil.
People have kidnapped for a lot less.
Yeah, but if we're right,
then Levi has to win.
And if he doesn't, then
he's of no use to them.
Let's not go there yet, Jesse.
How are you going to ID
him without a face cam?
Through his gameplay style.
A couple of years ago, Levi invited me
to join an eSports team he started.
Oh, you never mentioned that.
Well, there was a couple of
other guys that were on the team.
They wanted me out because
I was by far the worst player
but Levi said if Jesse goes, then I go.
That's...
Mmmm.
Yeah, that's the Levi I know.
- Hey.
- Hey.
I found out that white residue in
Levi's shoe track is silicon carbide.
It's found in a number of
products, frequently ceramics.
That sample there you
can give to Rex to track.
Great.
Oh and I also logged Levi's DNA sample.
So the bank just called.
Levi's account's been drained.
They're sending the CCTV
footage to you right now.
Yeah, got it.
They said the withdrawal
happened at 2:24 this afternoon.
No, that's not Levi.
You know what? Maybe Bonnie or
Rainey can help identify the person.
Have you seen this before?
No, I don't think so.
Okay, well is there
anyone you can think of
who might have known
what bank Levi used?
No, Levi was touchy about that stuff.
He kept it all really private.
Here's another one. It's
a little higher resolution.
I don't recognize that.
Got something?
Where is that?
Ceramic shards?
What do you think?
Sorry, Jesse.
Bonnie.
It's time to come clean
on what really happened
to your fiancé, Levi Gill.
I can't imagine how difficult
this must be for you.
Finding out that the person
that you're set to spend
the rest of your life with
already has a wife and child.
When did you find out?
When Jesse told me.
That's odd, because my boss called
and he said that you
pulled Levi and Rainey's
marriage license three days ago.
Bonnie.
You're a friend of Jesse's.
So I know that you are a good person.
But I can't help you unless
you tell me the truth.
I went to City Hall to find
out about civil weddings.
That's it.
Because Levi was resistant
to setting a date.
I thought maybe a small
service would be less daunting.
- Stupid.
- That's not stupid.
But the officiate said she
couldn't marry us because...
Levi was already legally married.
How did he take it
when you confronted him?
He just told me that I was
the only woman he's ever loved.
Did you believe him?
No.
He has a wife.
He swore it wasn't what it looked like.
That their relationship was complicated.
Complicated how?
He wouldn't tell me.
Well...
I would have been furious.
I don't think anybody
would have blamed you
if you'd lost control of your emotions.
I smashed a plate.
What about the blood?
Levi went to clean it up
and he cut himself.
He was bleeding.
He said he had to get
out to clear his head
but he never came back.
That's you isn't it? Look at it.
In the hoodie? That's you.
Why'd you clear out his bank account?
Our bank account.
That money is as much mine as his.
No, if anything happened to Levi,
that money goes to Rainey.
And I'm going to need money
if I'm going to raise our baby alone.
You're pregnant?
Okay. The first round was real quick.
Took out all the hobbyist gamers.
Now we're down to 32 players.
- So what's this?
- Intermission.
- They're interviewing all the competitors.
- Dude.
I fell in love with the
ranking system with Starfire
and that's what really got
me into the eSports scene.
No, that's not Levi's voice.
When I got a win, man,
it was pretty poggers.
No no! Levi would never say poggers.
Look, Jesse,
why don't you take a break, huh?
With all due respect, sir,
my best friend is the number one suspect
in my other best
friend's possible murder.
I'm not taking a break.
It's not looking good for Bonnie.
Yeah, a front clip that
matches Levi's vehicle
was found on a stolen car.
Auto crimes is putting
bets on a chop shop on 4th.
- They're sending us the parts right now.
- Okay.
I ran Levi's DNA through the database
and it matched an unsolved B&E
in Halifax from seven years ago.
What?
Yeah. Levi and an
unidentified accomplice
broke into the office of an
online marketplace called ShopNet.
They hacked into their system and
then stole all the clients' Bitcoin.
I don't think Levi's
ever been to Halifax.
Yeah, but DNA doesn't lie.
Neither Levi or his
accomplice are in the system.
So there was nothing to match it to.
And they got away.
Jesse, you and Sarah
look through the files.
See what we can find out
about this secret life of Levi.
- And Charlie, you and Rex...
- Are on our way to the chop shop.
Rex.
Rex.
Okay, get the scent.
Track it!
Ah, almost like we've done it before.
Hey!
Get your dog out of there!
I'm Detective Hudson. My partner is...
looking for some stolen
parts from a car last night.
This isn't a chop shop.
He won't find anything.
$25 thousand worth of Bitcoin stolen.
There's no history of
crime on Levi's police file.
Wait a minute.
Two days before the heist,
he had a background check for a
lifeguard position in Montreal.
Let me see if I can pull
up the background check.
Okay, here we go.
That's not Levi!
Montreal police verified that it is.
Okay, hold on, hold on, hold on. So,
if your friend's DNA was in Halifax,
Jesse...
he isn't Levi Gill.
If he's not Levi, who is he?
What have you got, pal?
What is this?
From now on, this garage
has a no pets policy.
Yeah, well he's not a pet.
He's my partner.
Shall we?
Forensic specialists upload
DNA onto genealogy websites
- like this one here.
- Oh yeah, yeah, yeah.
That's how they found
the Golden State Killer.
So you're uploading Levi's DNA?
Yeah. I suppose his name's not Levi.
Well, it is until we have another one.
Okay.
And here we go.
Lot of hits.
That's good, right?
It's good to have matches, but,
it's only distant relatives.
Hmmm. Uh, siblings and parents
should show a 50% match.
A grandparent or aunt or nephew
or half-sibling would be 25%.
These are all saying 6.25%. Or less.
Yeah. So no one in Levi's
immediate family put their DNA in.
Okay hold on, hold on!
We have a common ancestor: Dev Berman.
12.5 % match.
That's a... that's a great-grandparent.
How are we going to find him
based off of his great-grandparent?
Levi's car was chopped.
The shop owner denies it but
Rex went straight to the vehicle
and found this toque under the seat.
Great. I'll process that right away.
We went through the birth,
school, criminal, and
death records of over
200 people to build a family tree.
Yeah, yeah. We narrowed
it down to five branches
and based on work, employment,
and social media profiles,
there wasn't an obvious choice.
Did Levi ever tell you
anything about his childhood?
Where he came from?
Stories about his family?
Yeah, yeah. His grandfather
used to build ships.
We've got two shipbuilders on the board.
There is Kevin Littrell of Springhill
and Armand Modi of Millford.
Milford. Mastodons!
Uh, you're going to have to give us
a little more than that, buddy.
Levi loves mastodons
and Millford is where
they found mastodon bones.
Okay so that makes our
best bet, Armand Modi.
Let's see if we can find a relative.
Thank you for coming in, Ms. Ramsay.
Anything to find out what
happened to my nephew.
Sweet Armie's all grown up.
I'm sorry. Uh, Armie?
Armie Modi, yes.
Uh, when's the last time you saw Armie?
He fell into a bad crowd
after his mother died of cancer.
He'd quit his job to take
care of her full time.
He needed cash.
- The father wasn't around?
- No.
I sent whatever money I
could but it wasn't enough.
The last time I saw
him he'd been beaten.
By who?
Someone he worked with.
Armie was doing some kind of hacking.
He found out they were planning
to keep all the money for themselves.
So Armie took it from him first.
What happened to the money?
He used it for his
mother's end-of-life care.
Uh...
Look, Armie went by
the name Levi Gill here.
Does that name mean anything to you?
No.
The last time I saw him
was August seven years ago.
He asked me to hold on to
this ring for safekeeping.
It was the only thing
left of his mother's.
He was worried the men who
were after him would take it.
- You were in on the identity swap.
- Shhh.
Scout's asleep.
She doesn't know.
So who is the real Levi Gill?
My husband.
We met in Mexico, travelling.
He was this handsome Canadian
and I was from Connecticut,
running away from my crap family.
- Huh.
- I came up to St. John's to be with him.
But I got pregnant with
Scout and he walked out on us.
After Scout was born,
we needed him so I tracked him down.
You needed the man
who walked out on you.
I can't imagine that you would, unless,
you needed treatment,
because you were sick.
Your dog is very astute.
Yeah. Yeah, he is.
Papillary carcinoma.
Thyroid cancer.
It's back again.
I'm sorry to hear that.
I went to find him because
at least she'd have someone.
I take it you didn't find your husband?
No, I found Armie impersonating him.
What happened to the real Levi?
Boating accident.
Missing body.
Armie has a resemblance.
So he saw an opportunity to
escape and start as someone new.
And you saw an opportunity
to stay here in Canada.
I would have been deported.
And lost your access to your treatment?
Scout would have ended up an orphan.
So Armie and I made deal.
You let him keep Levi's identity
and you stayed here and got
your treatment in Canada.
Armie's mom died of cancer.
So, maybe I was a
do-over in a weird way.
Scout calls him Dad.
Yeah.
He took care of her when I was sick.
You know, Armie might
not be my real husband
or Scout's real father,
but he's definitely our real family.
Rainey.
We believe that whoever
Armie was running from
may have found him. Did he
tell you anything about it?
He had some of his
Bitcoin stash left over
from paying his mother's bills.
And where did he keep that?
Hidden somewhere.
He didn't want to use it
in case it gave his
ex-partner a way to track him.
Hmmm.
He just gave me $10,000
to help with my bills
while I go through treatment.
Do you think he used the Bitcoin?
We'll look into it.
Jesse. Any sign of Armie?
No.
- No, nothing yet.
- Now, time to check in with the fans
and turn on the comments!
Gamers. What a truly strange society.
Look, DinoLegs says
that ShadowLight rulz with a z.
I guess ShadowLight's a player, right?
Mmmm.
And look, PapaNerf says
Need you to grab treasure
at the save point.
That's him.
That's Armie!
My gametag is PapaNerf!
This is a message!
Need you to grab treasure
at the save point.
And then there's a bunch of arrows.
Up, up, down, down, left, right.
That's Konami code.
Armie's sending me a code.
A save point, but,
there are no save points in this game.
Well, maybe it's a rendezvous point?
I mean, what else could save point be?
Well, I mean in a game
a save point could be
you know, that's where you go
to save your progress usually.
It's a beacon of light
or a hieroglyph or...
I don't know, a hangout, or...
A hangout.
Yeah, it's the gamer café!
I mean, we use to play there!
That's the last place he was seen.
Okay.
I'll get Charlie and
Rex to meet you there.
- Yeah? Yeah.
- Go.
Did you find your buddy?
Oh. Uh...
No. Well he had messaged me
to grab something for him. So...
Under a game?
Yeah, yeah. Well, we used to
stack quarters on this thing
and some of them would
fall in behind the console
and Levi used to say that he was
saving them for later.
It was his save point.
Well instead of getting
30-year-old soda stains
all over your pants, why
don't I help you move it?
Sure, that would be great. Thank you.
Oh!
You weren't kidding.
Ah!
I wonder what's on it.
You want to plug it
in my laptop and see?
Sorry. I've got to go. Thank you!
Charlie, it's Jesse. You might
be on your way here, but listen,
I found a USB key in
the gamer café, okay?
Call me back.
Not a word!
Super-nitro Flip!
Ughh!!
Uhhh! Ughh!
Ugh!
Ughh!
Are you all right?
- Yeah.
- Rex!
Come on.
Hi! Oh, hi! Hi!
I owe you one buddy.
Oh!
I chased him, but he had a
getaway car and a driver ready.
Well, I ran the plates. Turns
out the car was recently stolen.
There's no surprise there.
There's an APB out on the
car and two armed suspects.
He was wearing gloves
so the gun had no prints.
Yeah, Sarah got a
skin sample off of Rex.
- She's processing it right now.
- Mmm.
Jesse, what did they want with you?
Maybe this.
It's a Bitcoin Wallet.
It's probably $5,000
worth on it at the time.
Which is now worth $312,812.
Well, I can see why his associate
wanted that back and why
Armie wanted it in your hands.
Hey, wait a second.
If Armie's sending you coded messages,
that means he's definitely
still playing in the tournament.
Mmmm.
I wish I knew which of the
eight remaining players he was.
Then I could maybe trace the location
but Armie has never used
any of these avatars.
You think that there's a message
- in one of these avatars?
- Yeah, I thought that
but nothing jumped out at me.
But I could maybe get some help.
- Hey.
- It's so good to see you, Jesse.
Thanks for coming in.
Look, you've been gaming a
lot more with Levi than me, so,
if he had to build a
completely new avatar,
do you have any idea
which one it could be?
He likes mastodons, so he
could be the tusked guy.
Okay.
And slasher films. So
maybe the scary dude.
I don't know.
Bonnie.
I've heard so much about you.
Rainey, I assume.
I've never heard a
single thing about you.
He didn't want to lie.
We were in the process of
divorcing so he could marry you.
I think the problem is much
bigger than the paperwork.
- Don't you think?
- He was trying to protect you.
- From the fact that he has a whole other life?
- Bonnie.
Rainey's just trying to help.
I'm sorry.
I can't do this.
Bonnie, wait.
Look, Bonnie. Bonnie, wait. Please.
Just because they weren't a real couple
doesn't mean he didn't betray me.
I know, but what Rainey
is saying is right.
- He was trying to protect you.
- That's the worst part!
Did he think I was that delicate?
That I couldn't handle it?
- How are you not mad?
- I am! I was! I don't know!
It's just, the more
I find out about him,
the more I start to think that
he might be the guy that we know.
I wish I felt that way.
Look, Bonnie,
you might not have known his real name.
Okay? But you know the real him.
And we could just really
use your help right now
to bring him home safe.
It's going to be good!
We're going to bring him home.
Thank you.
- Okay?
- Okay.
A-Bomb and Pizzaface is on!
A-Bomb makes the first
move with a high kick!
Nothing screams Armie to me.
Pizzaface in the corner
with a kick to the head!
- A 4-5-6 Hit Combo!
- KO!
A-Bomb wins!
Okay, well, each profile has a
personal avatar made by the player.
I mean, what is that?
A warrior mouse?
Looks like some sort of rabbit.
Didn't I hear you call Scout Bunny?
Yeah. And Armie called me Warrior.
There's a Sunshine too!
That's you.
- Sunshine.
- Maybe it's him?
Sunshine is his nickname for me.
How do you know that?
Because he always called you
his sunshine on a cloudy day.
It's an homage to the three of you.
Okay, so this
sun-kissed-warrior bunny avatar
belongs to a player named ShadowLight.
Winner!
- Winner!
- That's amazing because,
ShadowLight just won the semi-finals.
I knew he was good but not this good.
I mean I should have known
when I saw that video of him
kicking everybody's
butt at the gaming café.
Wait a minute.
Levi looked worried in the video
and I assumed it was
because he was running late.
He's not looking at the clock.
He was looking at the cameraman.
Any idea who he is?
Stand by. I think I have his
reflection in a showcase window.
Yeah.
Yeah, that's the guy that
airdropped me the video.
- Hector Hughes.
- See what you can pull up on him.
Okay.
Okay, Hector Hughes
is a freelance project manager.
But before that, he was a
project manager at ShopNet.
Where Armie stole the Bitcoin.
So Hector was the inside man.
No wonder they were never caught.
Jesse, pull up his social media.
Wait, wait, wait.
I know exactly where to find Armie.
Joe's five minutes
behind us. Come on, pal.
All $250,000...
You can just feel the
tension in the comments!
The finals are almost here.
Win or lose, they're
going to kill Armie.
Rex will find him.
Hey, pal.
Get the scent. Track it.
Go on.
Everyone in the comments section
who's been watching the competition
- narrow down to our final two fights!
- Final round, baby.
Play as if your life depends on it.
- Because it does.
- Let the finals begin!
Fight!
Sparkler coming strong out of the gate!
These final rounds can go south quick
if you're not ready! And
Shadowlight's off to a righteous start!
I'm going to try and find
a way into the building.
- You stay here, okay?
- Yeah.
Where are you going to stay?
- Right here.
- Yeah.
Shadowlight hunts
Sparkler with a triple!
- Followed by a nine-hitter!
- Yes!
In a stunning turnaround,
Shadowlight has Sparkler on the ropes!
Look, Armie,
your nosy friend has
come out to support you.
Jesse!
Jesse.
Okay, Joe's a couple of minutes away.
It's just you and me, pal.
You go in the back door.
I'll go in the front.
We need to get the hell out of here
- before the police show up.
- We're not forfeiting this game.
You didn't invite your cop friends
or that mutt to this party, did you?
No, no, no, it's just me. It's just me.
And I brought the Bitcoin wallet, okay?
It's totally yours. You can have it.
Just please let us go.
I am so sorry, Jesse.
I did not mean to rope you
and Bonnie into this mess.
Hey! Shut up.
- Or Nerd Cop here gets it.
- I'll take it.
And the prize money.
Keep playing.
Kaaaaa!
Combo!
- KO!
- Yo, stop losing!
- I am trying!
- Hey, hey.
Every time she does a back kick
there's a downtime of 0.4 seconds
- where she's open.
- Okay.
Okay, so you're saying I take the kick.
Then do a Mega-chokehold. And then...
SupersonicBlast!
Yes!
Combo!
Yahhhh!!
Combo!
- KO!
- Ahhhh!
- Shadowlight wins!
- Yes!
I won! I actually won!
You did it, man! You actually did it!
- Yes!
- Congratulations.
You get to go out on top.
Get up.
- Move.
- Look,
Hector, man, you've got
the prize money. It's 25OK.
- Plus the $312 thousand in Bitcoin.
- That's not how this works.
You ripped me off, Armie.
I can't let that stand.
Okay.
Okay.
Let Jesse go. He has nothing
to do with any of this.
He does now though.
He's a liability.
Ahhhh!
Ughhh!
Uh uh uh uh uh!
I wouldn't do that!
Get down! Stay down! Don't move!
Always good to see you, Joe!
You too, pal.
You too.
- Hey! I can explain everything.
- No, later.
Listen, I'm just glad you're okay.
- That's my money.
- That's stolen money.
You can't prove that.
Yes, we can. See I was able
to trace every transaction
between this wallet and the
intermediary Bitcoin tumblers.
Talk to Armie.
He's the one who broke into
my place of work and stole it.
No. I think you strong-armed
him into that robbery.
You knew he was destitute.
You convinced him to show up.
- And then when he got there...
- You forced him,
just like you forced him to
play the tournament at gunpoint.
- Mm-hmm.
- Who had the USB, huh? It wasn't me.
No, Armie took that after he'd found out
that you were going to
throw him to the wolves
- and keep the money for yourself.
- Not his finest moment.
No, that's true. And
the only mistake he made
is he thought that you'd stop
looking for him after seven years.
Then when he used the Bitcoin
ATM in the gamer café,
- you were notified.
- You flew over. Waited for him to show up.
Had your charming cousin Dale
waiting outside ready to take him.
Yeah and then you found
out about the tournament
and you wanted that money too!
Greed will get you every time, Hector.
Mmmm.
I should have just killed
him and called it a day.
You should have stayed in Halifax.
- Hey, we brought treats!
- Hey!
- For dogs and humans!
- Ohh!
- Great!
- Here you go, buddy!
Wow, it looks good!
Well, it's the least we
could do after, you know,
saving my life.
Armie and I stayed up all night talking.
Now I know everything.
- His mom. Rainey's cancer.
- The robbery.
Look, I've made a lot of big mistakes
and I'll pay for it.
Well, I talked to the prosecutor.
Since you've returned the Bitcoin to
Shopnet with incredible interest...
And you gave us valuable information
on Hector and his activities.
They're recommending community service.
Oh my God!
I don't know what to say!
Daddy!
Heya, Scout!
I finished the paperwork
with Superintendent Donovan
and the case of the real
Levi Gill is finally closed.
Wow, it's a new chapter for you!
Ohhh.
Rainey. Armie and I talked.
We'd love to use the rest
of his tournament winnings
to pay your tuition when you're
ready to go back to school.
Doctors say I should be in the clear
to attend SJC in the fall semester.
Hopefully no more interruptions.
The world needs oncologists like you.
I'll also be on maternity leave then.
So, free to hang with
Scout when you're in class.
- If you want that.
- Yes, I want that!
That would be amazing.
Great! There's just one
more thing to settle.
There's more?
Oh, Armie!
Bonnie Squire,
will you marry me, Armie Modi?
Yes, Armie Modi, I absolutely will!
- Ohh!
- That's nice.
- Jesse.
- Yeah.
- You up for some officiating?
- Really?
Absolutely!
Oh!!
Yes!
Rex says congratulations!
I'm so happy for you!
Who are the real-world Illuminati ?
Find out @ saveanilluminati.com
Modius wins!
Good game, good game.
Yeah. Hey, it's late. I've got to go.
Sorry.
Who are the real-world Illuminati ?
Find out @ saveanilluminati.com
No, he's going to get a breaking pitch.
And he... Uhhhh!
Oh, pizza's here!
Come in!
Oh, Jesse! I thought you
were a pepperoni extra cheese.
I get that a lot. Listen,
I just saw my friend Bonnie.
Yeah. Your buddy from high school.
Yeah, how did you know that?
Remember she threw that surprise
party, for your birthday?
- Her and her boyfriend?
- Oh yeah, Levi.
Her fiancé now.
Oh! Mazel Tov.
He didn't come home last night.
Maybe he...
- just tied one on?
- No, unlikely.
I mean, he's super disciplined.
He's got a major tournament this week.
- Tournament?
- Yeah. Levi's an eSports athlete.
Jesse, calling a gamer an athlete,
it's a little bit um...
- ridiculous.
- Really?
Anyway, look, I'm sure it's nothing,
but I promised Bonnie that I
would stop by the gamer café
to check in on Levi.
Ahhh!
Give me five, pal.
Attaboy.
Attaboy.
Oh, yeah. So you probably need
me for my police expertise.
What? No, not you.
No... Rex.
Oh.
Okay, Rex. We've done this
before. You know the drill.
Hi. Excuse me.
I'm looking for a friend of
mine and I'm wondering if...
I'm wondering if you saw him last night?
Give me a minute. Just
about to unlock a level.
Sure. Oh wow.
Wow, is this Urban Combat?
- Yeah.
- Oh I love this game!
Super retro graphics!
It's so addictive!
Tell me about it. World
tournament starts today.
Yeah, yeah I know. My
friend is competing.
Oh, do the Super-nitro Flip!
Yeah yeah. Oh yeah, those buttons!
Total knockout! There it is!
- There it is!
- Yes!
There it is!
Oh I love this game.
Well done!
- The friend you're looking for?
- Huh?
Yeah. Yeah yeah yeah. Here.
Was he here last night?
Oh, this guy! Yeah, he was here.
Took down one of the best fighters.
He packed up and left around 11:00.
Uh-huh.
Did he say where he was going?
Not to me.
Do you mind airdropping me this?
Thanks.
Okay, Rex.
Appreciate it. Rex!
Bonnie. Hi, it's Jesse.
So, Levi left here around 11:00.
I'm gonna keep looking for him, okay?
I have Levi's sweatshirt you gave me
and I'm here with our secret weapon.
Bye.
Okay, Rex.
Let's do this, huh?
All right, track.
Oh, wow. That really works.
What's this?
Jesse.
You all right?
- We'll find him.
- Okay.
Hey, Sarah.
Hey.
Okay, so we've got blood-splatter
on a lone shoe that Jesse
identified as Levi's.
Drag marks in the snow.
Carjacking gone wrong?
Well, the path is a car length.
Maybe the carjacker
moved Levi to the trunk?
There's no blood in the snow.
So he was still alive
when he went in the car.
Yeah and hopefully
he gets out alive too.
Huh.
What have you got, pal?
A cell phone.
Must have got tossed out the
window while they were on the move.
There's more blood.
That's not good.
What is it?
Oh, I'll know more back at the lab.
Okay. Hey, listen, uh,
I should go talk to Bonnie,
Levi's fiancée.
Rex and I will go with you.
Come on, pal.
Aghh... no!
Come on! No!
- No!
- Come on! Let's see it!
Ughhhh.
Sorry.
Yesterday I was compiling
videos for the wedding.,
now I can't stop watching them.
I didn't know you guys set a date.
We haven't.
Last night, Levi said he needed a break
from all the wedding talk.
He said he would be back soon, but
- maybe he just took off on me.
- No. No no no.
Levi would never take off on you.
Levi's sedan was stolen last night.
Okay.
Was he hurt?
Well, we haven't found
Levi yet but um...
there was some blood at the scene.
Is he dead? Just tell me.
Bonnie, listen. There's
no evidence of that.
The blood could be from a
fight, an accident maybe.
Does Levi have any
enemies that you know of?
No.
He has eSports enemies.
But those are fake.
- Virtual rivalries for entertainment.
- Yeah.
Levi is anonymous in the gaming world.
He doesn't use a face cam. So,
the audience can just
focus on the gameplay.
He was also super careful
about not giving out
his personal information.
Did he carry anything
expensive with him?
Just his customized gaming controller.
But it's pretty beat up.
Yeah, its value is purely sentimental.
He must be so scared right now.
Jesse.
- You've got to find him.
- We will, okay?
Our whole team is on it.
Okay, so do you still think Levi
was abducted in the carjacking?
We have reason to believe
that it was a targeted attack.
Your friend may have secrets, Jesse.
Levi's been withdrawing
a thousand dollars a month
for years from his personal account.
It's possible Levi was
involved in something
- that he shouldn't have been.
- Levi? No. No.
His whole life is video games,
his IT company, and Bonnie.
Sorry. The blood on the cell phone
matches the blood at the scene.
Likely, it's Levi's.
Unfortunately, the
prints are compromised.
So it's all yours, Jesse.
I think it's password protected.
How long do you think
it'll take you to crack it?
I know his password.
It's SiO2, the chemical
compound for Amethyst.
- Bonnie's birthstone.
- Good.
Jesse, see if you can match
Levi's bank withdrawals
with the GPS on his phone.
Looks like he went straight from
the bank immediately across town.
Yeah, to the same location
every time like clockwork.
Looks to me like a
young man with a habit.
Maybe drugs? Gambling?
Other proclivities?
Rex and I will go check it out.
Be careful, Charlie.
You don't know what you may find there.
Rainey Gill? I'm Detective Hudson.
- This is...
- The most adorable creature I've ever seen!
Just give me one second. I left
the iron on in the laundry room.
Sure.
Don't let that go to your head. Right?
Okay, track it, pal.
Huh.
Did you drink some of my coffee? Hey!
- Easy. Easy!
- Ah!
He must be smelling my
neighbour's Jack Russell.
No, I don't think so.
I think my canine partner
is picking up the
presence of a Levi Gill.
I can assure you he's not here.
Ah, what's his scent
doing all over your house?
Because Levi's my husband.
Okay, so,
- Levi is your husband?
- Yes.
What are you trying to tell me, pal?
Why is he asking about Dad?
I'm not sure, Scout.
Can I pet your dog?
Yeah, his name is Rex. Go on over, pal.
You know, Rex loves exercise
and if it's okay with your mom,
would you play fetch with him?
In the back yard, Bunny.
Come on! Come on Rex!
Now please. What is this is about?
Levi has been reported missing.
- He was last seen yesterday at 11:00 PM.
- What?
You didn't realize
your husband was gone?
Levi works out of town a lot!
He said he'd be back next week!
Do you recognize this woman?
Yeah. That's his friend Bonnie.
Rainey, Levi and Bonnie aren't
friends. They're engaged.
And according to phone records,
you haven't tried to
contact your husband
since his phone's been
in police possession.
I'm pre-med with a 7-year-old.
I've been studying for a
mid-term under a mountain of Lego.
I don't even know what day it is.
It's Wednesday.
And I need to know where
you were last night.
She was at home alone with Scout.
Who's Scout?
- Levi's daughter.
- What?
Jesse, did Levi ever even
allude to Rainey and Scout?
No, no.
Yeah okay, well Rainey's been receiving
monthly cash payments from Levi
which explains the
thousand dollar withdrawals.
And City Hall verified the marriage.
So, Bonnie's the other woman?
A clerk said that someone
pulled the marriage
records earlier this week.
Anything on the car?
Yeah, we've broadcasted the description
and placed the vehicle
on special attention.
Yeah. I'm going to follow
up on that right now.
I found microscopic amounts
of white residue in the
tread of Levi's shoe.
I don't know if it's anything yet
but I'll have results on it soon.
Jesse, anything else you
can tell us about this guy?
He's been living a double life.
Sometimes people fake
their disappearances
- so that they can start fresh somewhere else.
- No, no.
No, the Levi I know,
he couldn't do that.
Everything I knew about him is a lie.
No, no, look. The way
he felt about you wasn't.
- I can't know that.
- Look,
Bonnie, you were his Sunshine.
- I wonder what he called her.
- Don't. Don't do that to yourself.
I'm sorry. One sec.
Charlie, hi.
Really? Okay.
Somebody found Levi's backpack.
His wallet and gaming gear were gone.
This could be good for us.
- Thanks. Got to go.
- Okay.
Levi is a real contender in
this Urban Combat tournament.
I mean, maybe someone abducted him
and forced him to play on their behalf.
How much prize money can
there be for a video game?
The purse is a quarter mil.
People have kidnapped for a lot less.
Yeah, but if we're right,
then Levi has to win.
And if he doesn't, then
he's of no use to them.
Let's not go there yet, Jesse.
How are you going to ID
him without a face cam?
Through his gameplay style.
A couple of years ago, Levi invited me
to join an eSports team he started.
Oh, you never mentioned that.
Well, there was a couple of
other guys that were on the team.
They wanted me out because
I was by far the worst player
but Levi said if Jesse goes, then I go.
That's...
Mmmm.
Yeah, that's the Levi I know.
- Hey.
- Hey.
I found out that white residue in
Levi's shoe track is silicon carbide.
It's found in a number of
products, frequently ceramics.
That sample there you
can give to Rex to track.
Great.
Oh and I also logged Levi's DNA sample.
So the bank just called.
Levi's account's been drained.
They're sending the CCTV
footage to you right now.
Yeah, got it.
They said the withdrawal
happened at 2:24 this afternoon.
No, that's not Levi.
You know what? Maybe Bonnie or
Rainey can help identify the person.
Have you seen this before?
No, I don't think so.
Okay, well is there
anyone you can think of
who might have known
what bank Levi used?
No, Levi was touchy about that stuff.
He kept it all really private.
Here's another one. It's
a little higher resolution.
I don't recognize that.
Got something?
Where is that?
Ceramic shards?
What do you think?
Sorry, Jesse.
Bonnie.
It's time to come clean
on what really happened
to your fiancé, Levi Gill.
I can't imagine how difficult
this must be for you.
Finding out that the person
that you're set to spend
the rest of your life with
already has a wife and child.
When did you find out?
When Jesse told me.
That's odd, because my boss called
and he said that you
pulled Levi and Rainey's
marriage license three days ago.
Bonnie.
You're a friend of Jesse's.
So I know that you are a good person.
But I can't help you unless
you tell me the truth.
I went to City Hall to find
out about civil weddings.
That's it.
Because Levi was resistant
to setting a date.
I thought maybe a small
service would be less daunting.
- Stupid.
- That's not stupid.
But the officiate said she
couldn't marry us because...
Levi was already legally married.
How did he take it
when you confronted him?
He just told me that I was
the only woman he's ever loved.
Did you believe him?
No.
He has a wife.
He swore it wasn't what it looked like.
That their relationship was complicated.
Complicated how?
He wouldn't tell me.
Well...
I would have been furious.
I don't think anybody
would have blamed you
if you'd lost control of your emotions.
I smashed a plate.
What about the blood?
Levi went to clean it up
and he cut himself.
He was bleeding.
He said he had to get
out to clear his head
but he never came back.
That's you isn't it? Look at it.
In the hoodie? That's you.
Why'd you clear out his bank account?
Our bank account.
That money is as much mine as his.
No, if anything happened to Levi,
that money goes to Rainey.
And I'm going to need money
if I'm going to raise our baby alone.
You're pregnant?
Okay. The first round was real quick.
Took out all the hobbyist gamers.
Now we're down to 32 players.
- So what's this?
- Intermission.
- They're interviewing all the competitors.
- Dude.
I fell in love with the
ranking system with Starfire
and that's what really got
me into the eSports scene.
No, that's not Levi's voice.
When I got a win, man,
it was pretty poggers.
No no! Levi would never say poggers.
Look, Jesse,
why don't you take a break, huh?
With all due respect, sir,
my best friend is the number one suspect
in my other best
friend's possible murder.
I'm not taking a break.
It's not looking good for Bonnie.
Yeah, a front clip that
matches Levi's vehicle
was found on a stolen car.
Auto crimes is putting
bets on a chop shop on 4th.
- They're sending us the parts right now.
- Okay.
I ran Levi's DNA through the database
and it matched an unsolved B&E
in Halifax from seven years ago.
What?
Yeah. Levi and an
unidentified accomplice
broke into the office of an
online marketplace called ShopNet.
They hacked into their system and
then stole all the clients' Bitcoin.
I don't think Levi's
ever been to Halifax.
Yeah, but DNA doesn't lie.
Neither Levi or his
accomplice are in the system.
So there was nothing to match it to.
And they got away.
Jesse, you and Sarah
look through the files.
See what we can find out
about this secret life of Levi.
- And Charlie, you and Rex...
- Are on our way to the chop shop.
Rex.
Rex.
Okay, get the scent.
Track it!
Ah, almost like we've done it before.
Hey!
Get your dog out of there!
I'm Detective Hudson. My partner is...
looking for some stolen
parts from a car last night.
This isn't a chop shop.
He won't find anything.
$25 thousand worth of Bitcoin stolen.
There's no history of
crime on Levi's police file.
Wait a minute.
Two days before the heist,
he had a background check for a
lifeguard position in Montreal.
Let me see if I can pull
up the background check.
Okay, here we go.
That's not Levi!
Montreal police verified that it is.
Okay, hold on, hold on, hold on. So,
if your friend's DNA was in Halifax,
Jesse...
he isn't Levi Gill.
If he's not Levi, who is he?
What have you got, pal?
What is this?
From now on, this garage
has a no pets policy.
Yeah, well he's not a pet.
He's my partner.
Shall we?
Forensic specialists upload
DNA onto genealogy websites
- like this one here.
- Oh yeah, yeah, yeah.
That's how they found
the Golden State Killer.
So you're uploading Levi's DNA?
Yeah. I suppose his name's not Levi.
Well, it is until we have another one.
Okay.
And here we go.
Lot of hits.
That's good, right?
It's good to have matches, but,
it's only distant relatives.
Hmmm. Uh, siblings and parents
should show a 50% match.
A grandparent or aunt or nephew
or half-sibling would be 25%.
These are all saying 6.25%. Or less.
Yeah. So no one in Levi's
immediate family put their DNA in.
Okay hold on, hold on!
We have a common ancestor: Dev Berman.
12.5 % match.
That's a... that's a great-grandparent.
How are we going to find him
based off of his great-grandparent?
Levi's car was chopped.
The shop owner denies it but
Rex went straight to the vehicle
and found this toque under the seat.
Great. I'll process that right away.
We went through the birth,
school, criminal, and
death records of over
200 people to build a family tree.
Yeah, yeah. We narrowed
it down to five branches
and based on work, employment,
and social media profiles,
there wasn't an obvious choice.
Did Levi ever tell you
anything about his childhood?
Where he came from?
Stories about his family?
Yeah, yeah. His grandfather
used to build ships.
We've got two shipbuilders on the board.
There is Kevin Littrell of Springhill
and Armand Modi of Millford.
Milford. Mastodons!
Uh, you're going to have to give us
a little more than that, buddy.
Levi loves mastodons
and Millford is where
they found mastodon bones.
Okay so that makes our
best bet, Armand Modi.
Let's see if we can find a relative.
Thank you for coming in, Ms. Ramsay.
Anything to find out what
happened to my nephew.
Sweet Armie's all grown up.
I'm sorry. Uh, Armie?
Armie Modi, yes.
Uh, when's the last time you saw Armie?
He fell into a bad crowd
after his mother died of cancer.
He'd quit his job to take
care of her full time.
He needed cash.
- The father wasn't around?
- No.
I sent whatever money I
could but it wasn't enough.
The last time I saw
him he'd been beaten.
By who?
Someone he worked with.
Armie was doing some kind of hacking.
He found out they were planning
to keep all the money for themselves.
So Armie took it from him first.
What happened to the money?
He used it for his
mother's end-of-life care.
Uh...
Look, Armie went by
the name Levi Gill here.
Does that name mean anything to you?
No.
The last time I saw him
was August seven years ago.
He asked me to hold on to
this ring for safekeeping.
It was the only thing
left of his mother's.
He was worried the men who
were after him would take it.
- You were in on the identity swap.
- Shhh.
Scout's asleep.
She doesn't know.
So who is the real Levi Gill?
My husband.
We met in Mexico, travelling.
He was this handsome Canadian
and I was from Connecticut,
running away from my crap family.
- Huh.
- I came up to St. John's to be with him.
But I got pregnant with
Scout and he walked out on us.
After Scout was born,
we needed him so I tracked him down.
You needed the man
who walked out on you.
I can't imagine that you would, unless,
you needed treatment,
because you were sick.
Your dog is very astute.
Yeah. Yeah, he is.
Papillary carcinoma.
Thyroid cancer.
It's back again.
I'm sorry to hear that.
I went to find him because
at least she'd have someone.
I take it you didn't find your husband?
No, I found Armie impersonating him.
What happened to the real Levi?
Boating accident.
Missing body.
Armie has a resemblance.
So he saw an opportunity to
escape and start as someone new.
And you saw an opportunity
to stay here in Canada.
I would have been deported.
And lost your access to your treatment?
Scout would have ended up an orphan.
So Armie and I made deal.
You let him keep Levi's identity
and you stayed here and got
your treatment in Canada.
Armie's mom died of cancer.
So, maybe I was a
do-over in a weird way.
Scout calls him Dad.
Yeah.
He took care of her when I was sick.
You know, Armie might
not be my real husband
or Scout's real father,
but he's definitely our real family.
Rainey.
We believe that whoever
Armie was running from
may have found him. Did he
tell you anything about it?
He had some of his
Bitcoin stash left over
from paying his mother's bills.
And where did he keep that?
Hidden somewhere.
He didn't want to use it
in case it gave his
ex-partner a way to track him.
Hmmm.
He just gave me $10,000
to help with my bills
while I go through treatment.
Do you think he used the Bitcoin?
We'll look into it.
Jesse. Any sign of Armie?
No.
- No, nothing yet.
- Now, time to check in with the fans
and turn on the comments!
Gamers. What a truly strange society.
Look, DinoLegs says
that ShadowLight rulz with a z.
I guess ShadowLight's a player, right?
Mmmm.
And look, PapaNerf says
Need you to grab treasure
at the save point.
That's him.
That's Armie!
My gametag is PapaNerf!
This is a message!
Need you to grab treasure
at the save point.
And then there's a bunch of arrows.
Up, up, down, down, left, right.
That's Konami code.
Armie's sending me a code.
A save point, but,
there are no save points in this game.
Well, maybe it's a rendezvous point?
I mean, what else could save point be?
Well, I mean in a game
a save point could be
you know, that's where you go
to save your progress usually.
It's a beacon of light
or a hieroglyph or...
I don't know, a hangout, or...
A hangout.
Yeah, it's the gamer café!
I mean, we use to play there!
That's the last place he was seen.
Okay.
I'll get Charlie and
Rex to meet you there.
- Yeah? Yeah.
- Go.
Did you find your buddy?
Oh. Uh...
No. Well he had messaged me
to grab something for him. So...
Under a game?
Yeah, yeah. Well, we used to
stack quarters on this thing
and some of them would
fall in behind the console
and Levi used to say that he was
saving them for later.
It was his save point.
Well instead of getting
30-year-old soda stains
all over your pants, why
don't I help you move it?
Sure, that would be great. Thank you.
Oh!
You weren't kidding.
Ah!
I wonder what's on it.
You want to plug it
in my laptop and see?
Sorry. I've got to go. Thank you!
Charlie, it's Jesse. You might
be on your way here, but listen,
I found a USB key in
the gamer café, okay?
Call me back.
Not a word!
Super-nitro Flip!
Ughh!!
Uhhh! Ughh!
Ugh!
Ughh!
Are you all right?
- Yeah.
- Rex!
Come on.
Hi! Oh, hi! Hi!
I owe you one buddy.
Oh!
I chased him, but he had a
getaway car and a driver ready.
Well, I ran the plates. Turns
out the car was recently stolen.
There's no surprise there.
There's an APB out on the
car and two armed suspects.
He was wearing gloves
so the gun had no prints.
Yeah, Sarah got a
skin sample off of Rex.
- She's processing it right now.
- Mmm.
Jesse, what did they want with you?
Maybe this.
It's a Bitcoin Wallet.
It's probably $5,000
worth on it at the time.
Which is now worth $312,812.
Well, I can see why his associate
wanted that back and why
Armie wanted it in your hands.
Hey, wait a second.
If Armie's sending you coded messages,
that means he's definitely
still playing in the tournament.
Mmmm.
I wish I knew which of the
eight remaining players he was.
Then I could maybe trace the location
but Armie has never used
any of these avatars.
You think that there's a message
- in one of these avatars?
- Yeah, I thought that
but nothing jumped out at me.
But I could maybe get some help.
- Hey.
- It's so good to see you, Jesse.
Thanks for coming in.
Look, you've been gaming a
lot more with Levi than me, so,
if he had to build a
completely new avatar,
do you have any idea
which one it could be?
He likes mastodons, so he
could be the tusked guy.
Okay.
And slasher films. So
maybe the scary dude.
I don't know.
Bonnie.
I've heard so much about you.
Rainey, I assume.
I've never heard a
single thing about you.
He didn't want to lie.
We were in the process of
divorcing so he could marry you.
I think the problem is much
bigger than the paperwork.
- Don't you think?
- He was trying to protect you.
- From the fact that he has a whole other life?
- Bonnie.
Rainey's just trying to help.
I'm sorry.
I can't do this.
Bonnie, wait.
Look, Bonnie. Bonnie, wait. Please.
Just because they weren't a real couple
doesn't mean he didn't betray me.
I know, but what Rainey
is saying is right.
- He was trying to protect you.
- That's the worst part!
Did he think I was that delicate?
That I couldn't handle it?
- How are you not mad?
- I am! I was! I don't know!
It's just, the more
I find out about him,
the more I start to think that
he might be the guy that we know.
I wish I felt that way.
Look, Bonnie,
you might not have known his real name.
Okay? But you know the real him.
And we could just really
use your help right now
to bring him home safe.
It's going to be good!
We're going to bring him home.
Thank you.
- Okay?
- Okay.
A-Bomb and Pizzaface is on!
A-Bomb makes the first
move with a high kick!
Nothing screams Armie to me.
Pizzaface in the corner
with a kick to the head!
- A 4-5-6 Hit Combo!
- KO!
A-Bomb wins!
Okay, well, each profile has a
personal avatar made by the player.
I mean, what is that?
A warrior mouse?
Looks like some sort of rabbit.
Didn't I hear you call Scout Bunny?
Yeah. And Armie called me Warrior.
There's a Sunshine too!
That's you.
- Sunshine.
- Maybe it's him?
Sunshine is his nickname for me.
How do you know that?
Because he always called you
his sunshine on a cloudy day.
It's an homage to the three of you.
Okay, so this
sun-kissed-warrior bunny avatar
belongs to a player named ShadowLight.
Winner!
- Winner!
- That's amazing because,
ShadowLight just won the semi-finals.
I knew he was good but not this good.
I mean I should have known
when I saw that video of him
kicking everybody's
butt at the gaming café.
Wait a minute.
Levi looked worried in the video
and I assumed it was
because he was running late.
He's not looking at the clock.
He was looking at the cameraman.
Any idea who he is?
Stand by. I think I have his
reflection in a showcase window.
Yeah.
Yeah, that's the guy that
airdropped me the video.
- Hector Hughes.
- See what you can pull up on him.
Okay.
Okay, Hector Hughes
is a freelance project manager.
But before that, he was a
project manager at ShopNet.
Where Armie stole the Bitcoin.
So Hector was the inside man.
No wonder they were never caught.
Jesse, pull up his social media.
Wait, wait, wait.
I know exactly where to find Armie.
Joe's five minutes
behind us. Come on, pal.
All $250,000...
You can just feel the
tension in the comments!
The finals are almost here.
Win or lose, they're
going to kill Armie.
Rex will find him.
Hey, pal.
Get the scent. Track it.
Go on.
Everyone in the comments section
who's been watching the competition
- narrow down to our final two fights!
- Final round, baby.
Play as if your life depends on it.
- Because it does.
- Let the finals begin!
Fight!
Sparkler coming strong out of the gate!
These final rounds can go south quick
if you're not ready! And
Shadowlight's off to a righteous start!
I'm going to try and find
a way into the building.
- You stay here, okay?
- Yeah.
Where are you going to stay?
- Right here.
- Yeah.
Shadowlight hunts
Sparkler with a triple!
- Followed by a nine-hitter!
- Yes!
In a stunning turnaround,
Shadowlight has Sparkler on the ropes!
Look, Armie,
your nosy friend has
come out to support you.
Jesse!
Jesse.
Okay, Joe's a couple of minutes away.
It's just you and me, pal.
You go in the back door.
I'll go in the front.
We need to get the hell out of here
- before the police show up.
- We're not forfeiting this game.
You didn't invite your cop friends
or that mutt to this party, did you?
No, no, no, it's just me. It's just me.
And I brought the Bitcoin wallet, okay?
It's totally yours. You can have it.
Just please let us go.
I am so sorry, Jesse.
I did not mean to rope you
and Bonnie into this mess.
Hey! Shut up.
- Or Nerd Cop here gets it.
- I'll take it.
And the prize money.
Keep playing.
Kaaaaa!
Combo!
- KO!
- Yo, stop losing!
- I am trying!
- Hey, hey.
Every time she does a back kick
there's a downtime of 0.4 seconds
- where she's open.
- Okay.
Okay, so you're saying I take the kick.
Then do a Mega-chokehold. And then...
SupersonicBlast!
Yes!
Combo!
Yahhhh!!
Combo!
- KO!
- Ahhhh!
- Shadowlight wins!
- Yes!
I won! I actually won!
You did it, man! You actually did it!
- Yes!
- Congratulations.
You get to go out on top.
Get up.
- Move.
- Look,
Hector, man, you've got
the prize money. It's 25OK.
- Plus the $312 thousand in Bitcoin.
- That's not how this works.
You ripped me off, Armie.
I can't let that stand.
Okay.
Okay.
Let Jesse go. He has nothing
to do with any of this.
He does now though.
He's a liability.
Ahhhh!
Ughhh!
Uh uh uh uh uh!
I wouldn't do that!
Get down! Stay down! Don't move!
Always good to see you, Joe!
You too, pal.
You too.
- Hey! I can explain everything.
- No, later.
Listen, I'm just glad you're okay.
- That's my money.
- That's stolen money.
You can't prove that.
Yes, we can. See I was able
to trace every transaction
between this wallet and the
intermediary Bitcoin tumblers.
Talk to Armie.
He's the one who broke into
my place of work and stole it.
No. I think you strong-armed
him into that robbery.
You knew he was destitute.
You convinced him to show up.
- And then when he got there...
- You forced him,
just like you forced him to
play the tournament at gunpoint.
- Mm-hmm.
- Who had the USB, huh? It wasn't me.
No, Armie took that after he'd found out
that you were going to
throw him to the wolves
- and keep the money for yourself.
- Not his finest moment.
No, that's true. And
the only mistake he made
is he thought that you'd stop
looking for him after seven years.
Then when he used the Bitcoin
ATM in the gamer café,
- you were notified.
- You flew over. Waited for him to show up.
Had your charming cousin Dale
waiting outside ready to take him.
Yeah and then you found
out about the tournament
and you wanted that money too!
Greed will get you every time, Hector.
Mmmm.
I should have just killed
him and called it a day.
You should have stayed in Halifax.
- Hey, we brought treats!
- Hey!
- For dogs and humans!
- Ohh!
- Great!
- Here you go, buddy!
Wow, it looks good!
Well, it's the least we
could do after, you know,
saving my life.
Armie and I stayed up all night talking.
Now I know everything.
- His mom. Rainey's cancer.
- The robbery.
Look, I've made a lot of big mistakes
and I'll pay for it.
Well, I talked to the prosecutor.
Since you've returned the Bitcoin to
Shopnet with incredible interest...
And you gave us valuable information
on Hector and his activities.
They're recommending community service.
Oh my God!
I don't know what to say!
Daddy!
Heya, Scout!
I finished the paperwork
with Superintendent Donovan
and the case of the real
Levi Gill is finally closed.
Wow, it's a new chapter for you!
Ohhh.
Rainey. Armie and I talked.
We'd love to use the rest
of his tournament winnings
to pay your tuition when you're
ready to go back to school.
Doctors say I should be in the clear
to attend SJC in the fall semester.
Hopefully no more interruptions.
The world needs oncologists like you.
I'll also be on maternity leave then.
So, free to hang with
Scout when you're in class.
- If you want that.
- Yes, I want that!
That would be amazing.
Great! There's just one
more thing to settle.
There's more?
Oh, Armie!
Bonnie Squire,
will you marry me, Armie Modi?
Yes, Armie Modi, I absolutely will!
- Ohh!
- That's nice.
- Jesse.
- Yeah.
- You up for some officiating?
- Really?
Absolutely!
Oh!!
Yes!
Rex says congratulations!
I'm so happy for you!
