Hudson & Rex (2019–…): Season 4, Episode 14 - Roll the Bones - full transcript

After the owner of a construction company is found dead, Charlie and Rex track the killer to an underground casino. Major Crimes goes undercover to solve the case.

I thought the quote was certain.

Laila, I swear, I
am just as surprised as you are.

I don't know why it
gone to another.

What did you do wrong?
Did you get the paperwork right...

filed or were you out
partying all night?

Of course I submitted the paperwork.

This was your only job.

I can't believe you screwed up.

Hey.

The last time I looked, I was the boss.

Then behave accordingly.



Dad was a fool to
put you in charge.

Laila.

Laila, open the door.

Laila, don't go away. Laila.

Come on.

24 HOURS LATER

Hey, Sara.
- Hi.

Do you have any ID?
- No, nothing. No phone or wallet.

My team checks the
stuff for prints.

Wait a minute.

We found this in his pocket.

Dominion Taxi. A cab receipt from last night.

Should we go and see?
- Yes.

That one had an enjoyable evening.



It didn't end well.
The bullet is still in it.

Who are the real-world Illuminati ?
Find out @ saveanilluminati.com

What do you got, pal?

I see.

Okay. Our victim, Abel Rivers.

32 years old. He is a contractor
and owner of Rivers Construction.

Phone and wallet.

It's not something a
robber would leave behind.

Someone had another
reason to kill him.

- Synchronized and corrected
by chamallow - www.addic7ed.com.

Abel had a wild side.

He sometimes went on a rampage for weeks.

Got into trouble.

And then even worse to try
to get out with vague figures.

He told me that he had turned his life around.
- Had he?

My father believed so,

therefore he left him the firm.

The whole oldest child family affair condition.

Did you believe that?

I wanted to. But there was no
vice he didn't do.

Drugs, alcohol. Gambling.

I'm sorry.

This is such a terrible way
to talk about him.

Did Abel have a reason to be at the construction site at night
be at the construction site?

This would be the location
of a recreation center,

That St. John's is building.

He had to win the contract.

He said he had an internal source.

We found out yesterday
found out that the bid had been rejected.

Did you transport this
this man last night? Abel Rivers?

Yes, I picked it up around 2:00.

Corner Queen and George.

Wasn't in the best
mood. You know?

What a beauty.

Can I pet him?
- He is currently at work.

I understand that.

What put him in such a bad mood?

Before I picked him up,
he was arguing with this tall guy.

Abel had an argument with someone?

Can you describe the man?
- I just did.

He was tall. Dark.

You could call him handsome.

Short hair, a beard.

Where exactly did you say you picked it up?

The Fox and Puffin.

Fox and Puffin.

Okay, thanks for your time. Rex.

Jesse.
- Yes.

Found anything?
- No, not much.

I mean, there is only
one point in Abel's file.

He was arrested on suspicion
of driving under the influence,

and they found an unregistered
gun in his trunk.

The indictment disappeared
before he was arraigned.

Yes, that sounds typical
for the Rivers family.

They had a lot of influence
when Mr. Rivers was alive.

Charlie talked to the bartender
where Abel was last seen.

That one didn't recognize him.

Great.
- I also found alternative versions....

From Rivers Construction's website.

It seems that it was Laila and her
father were until two years ago.

Yes, Laila was the heir apparent until
Abel took over a few years ago.

There might be something there, Jesse.

Um, Joe.

We were able to get a fingerprint
from a bulldozer.

Five complete on the right.

Left five in part.

We know they belong to the killer because
we found a bullet casing at the scene,

and that's a match.

The bullet is a .32 ACP.

Judging from the grooves, it may
come from a Bersa TPR9.

Okay, that's good work Sarah.
- There's more.

Both of Abel's thumbs were
broken shortly before he was murdered.

Broken thumbs, debts.

The cab driver said he saw our victim
arguing with an unknown man,

but I still don't know where
he was before he got into the cab.

Well, wait and see. This may be useful.

We also found traces
of ink on Abel's hand.

As if he had written something
and then had washed it off.

I worked the area with sulfide and
that brought out the ink particles.

Looks like a phone number.

Wait.

I know that song.

Joe Donovan?

The myth, the legend. How are you
doing, buddy? It's been a while.

Reggie, we just found your number
found on a dead man's hand.

What?
- Tell me what you know about Abel Rivers.

I ran into him.

On my new job. I have a
bartending job at a private club.

Hold on, Reggie.

By private club, you mean unlicensed?

Yeah. I mean, that establishment
is kind of an exclusive place.

An inconspicuous door in an alley.

You have to know someone to get in.

Who do you need to know, Reggie?

You need a password.

Password changes every night.

To get the password,
you need my number.

Wait a minute. You want to tell me
Abel called you yesterday...

To get the password?

He was there last night, yes.

Reggie, this is a murder investigation.

It is serious work.

I need your help with this.

I was afraid you would say that.

Everything you need, Joe.

Abel Rivers was last night
at a clandestine casino.

But casinos are illegal in Newfoundland.

That's why it's clandestine.

His sister said something about
he had a gambling problem.

That might explain the broken thumbs.

Good. The casino was
close to the Fox and Puffin.

Okay, so we can assume
that our suspect who fought with Abel,

was probably also in the casino.

Wait, if we go in with our pennies
and our suspect is not there, then....

that place is just going to disappear.
- Yes.

That's why we're going undercover.

Yes.

Yes, Undercover.

Oh sorry.

Take it easy, Jesse.

Michael.
- Hey, Sara.

I'm glad you called. I'm sorry.

I have to cancel for tonight.

You just beat me to it.

I also have to work.

Okay wait.

Didn't you say that the good thing
of the Crown was the fixed working hours?

Yes, a case came in at the last
A case came in.

Another time?

Um, yes. Tomorrow?

Why don't I make you
dinner at my house for you?

I would like that.
- Okay.

See you tomorrow, sweetheart.

Okay.

All of us, including Rex,

has a secret identity in these directories.

Reggie just confirmed,

that these identities have been released
by casino security.

We are looking for anyone who fits
the description of our suspect.

A tall, dark man with
short hair and a beard.

Our mission tonight is to not stand out.

Making friends.

And find out who Abel's killer is.

Probably many people will
fit that description.

Therefore, we are looking for fingerprints.

We pick them up wherever we
can. From casino chips.

A drinking glass, paper.

And when we find them, we give them to Sarah.

And with that, she can analyze them right away.

Fingerprint powder.

Discreet.

Abel's favorite place was the poker table.

So Charlie, your identity...

Is that of Lucky Chuck.

A professional poker player.

Remember, if you spend a penny over the SJPD limit
spends, it comes out of your own pocket.

Sarah is your support.

The mysterious moneylender
Who funds your gambling.

She keeps an eye on your game.

She is a trading magnate looking for new
and interesting investment opportunities.

And what is a poker entourage?
Without proper security?

That's where our Rex comes in.

He keeps watch over you, as always.

So who am I?

Jordan Kentucky? Fast food franchiser?

Or perhaps Vladimir Levitsky
Russian shipping magnate?

Jesse Milton?

Casino employee, really?

Here.

Start practicing.

Your job, Jesse,

is to be a blackjack dealer.

Make friends.

Talk to people.

Find out more about the doings
and doings of Abel last night.

You certainly know your way around a blackjack table.

Do you come here often?

What about you?

Me?

I'm Joe Donnell.

CEO of a unique travel company.

Wow.

Look who's cleaning up nicely.

I see you saved the best wardrobe
saved for yourself.

You're just piqued that he knows how to wear a tuxedo
better than you do.

Okay guys. Let's stay focused.

Game begins.

Come on.

Big Red.

Yo, the dice on
that man are unfair, man.

Yo, give me my money man.
- Hey.

You're cheating.
Don't do that.

Sir, you lost fair and square.

But he's cheating.
- Don't take it out on the new guy.

You drink Macallan, don't you?
- Yes.

Shall I order a glass
to ease the pain?

Yeah, all right.
- Can you give him a glass?

Pardon.

Do you know what everyone here is drinking?

I'm the manager. So yes.

I'm Brielle. And you're new.
- Joe.

Joe Donnell.
- Oh, CEO of Travel Luxe.

Yes, I know the guest list.

My friend Abel
told me about this place,

but I haven't seen him all
evening.

Do you know where he is?
- A friend of Abel's is a friend of ours.

I'm sure he would hate
If you were here alone.

Shall I introduce you to a few people?
- Thank you.

Kevin.

Joe Donnell. This is Kevin Sajak.

He is in special transportation.

Pleased to meet you.
- I don't believe we know each other.

No. No, I live in Montreal.

Good for you. I don't travel.

Let us introduce you to
the mayor's daughter.

She's one of our regulars.
- Okay.

Terri. Joe Donnell, this is Terri Glass.

She can get you started on all the
the good things the city has to offer.

Pleased to meet you.

Mr. Donnell. Brielle knows me well.

You can ask me anything.

Thank you. I could come back to that.

And we have some
other visitors tonight.

Charles Hoffman. Better
known as Lucky Chuck,

and his financier, retail tycoon Sarah Tung.

Pleased to meet you.
- Sorry, I have to concentrate.

Charles, manners. Sorry,
he's focused on the game.

Of course.

Cute dog.

If you want to change from the Old Fashioneds,
we just got a bottle of Henri Cinq.

Henri Cinq?

I am impressed.

I've been looking for that for years.

I almost found one in Switzerland.

Then you were close.
We found this one in Italy.

Do you like to travel?
- When I can.

Where do you know Abel from?

You know him.

From the party scene.

Has friends everywhere.

He's certainly made the rounds here,
but he's never taken anyone.

Well, I'm not just anybody.

Okay. Place your bet.

I'm in.

Yes sir.

Don't go too far away, friend.

Is that your dog?

He brings me happiness.

May I join in?

Of course.

That's for you, thanks.

Thank you sir.

It's very nice to get a tip
From a tall dark stranger.

A tall dark stranger.

I need to get away for a while.

Your wife is gorgeous.

We are not married.

Whoever she is, you
better keep an eye on her.

We work well together.

The real question is: will you
bet on this hand?

Increase by five hundred.

Not with these cards.

What do you say, friend?

Do we take this man's chips?

We'll see about that.

Wow.

Is there anything fun happening here?

I'm sorry, Miss.

You may not put your bag on the table.

Oh. Excuses.

No problem.

May I join in?
- With pleasure.

What do you think?

Will you join us for a thousand?

Who says I was planning
to go that far tonight?

What would it also.

Yes?

Yes.

One thousand dollars.

Pair of kings.

A little risk pays off, doesn't it?

He has.

Wow.

What is happening here?

I have something for you.

I think you're going to like the one on top of
is going to like.

NO MATCH

NO MATCH

Hi.

Hello, Terri.

What are you doing here?

A quick refresher.

So you're the money behind
our new poker star?

Brielle said you were in retail.

But I haven't heard from you.

What brands are you into?

I don't disclose my business.

Everyone who should know me knows me.

Oh.

I'm sorry.
- It's okay.

I was just curious.

I like to keep things confidential.

Everything I do affects
on stock prices.

And reporters would have a top day
if they knew about my specific interests.

Your secret is safe.

I was just wondering in case
case we were going to do business.

What kind of business?

In this club, many important
people from all over the city.

And I bring them together to
facilitate their goals.

And what does it get you?

I have always been a matchmaker.

But if the people that
I put in contact do well....

is all I ask that they consider....

donate to my charity.

It's called Terri's Table.

I will consider it.

That's a pretty penny.

Hey, there's dirt on it.

Thanks.

I pass.

Hey, Gus.

I didn't think you were
a gambler, detective.

I gambled that tonight I would find the
killer of Abel here.

I think it paid off.

You have the wrong one.

You lied to me
About where you picked up Abel.

You knew he was here.

And as far as we know, you are the
last person to see him alive.

As far as you know.

But you don't know much.

Right?

At the very least, you're looking at obstruction
of justice. So talk.

Or go to jail.

When you put it that way...

Sometimes,

I lend money to people who need it.

Are you telling me you're a usurer?

That's interesting.

Abel had broken his thumbs.

Was that you?

Yes, look. It's not part
of the work that I enjoy.

But sometimes you have to,

Otherwise these people will walk all over you.

So you admit that you ripped him off?

Why stop there?
- He told me it was arranged.

And I would have my money within 24 hours.

So if you're cooperating...
- Who are you working for?

What do you mean?

Who do you work for? You are...
- I'm independent.

Are you a cab driver
with a hundred thousand dollars?

Do you want to tell me that
no one supports you?

If you start small you can work your way up.

If you know where to find the real
problem gamblers can find.

Do any of those gamblers
there have a problem with Abel?

And if not, it's looking
really not looking good for you, Gus.

Well, I'm in luck.

Because the guy he was
had a fight with is there tonight.

Let me see it.

What's going on?

Gus says he can identify the man
that Abel was arguing with here.

But we're still going to
take your fingerprints before you go.

Just in case.

Yes, not necessary.

That's the man you're looking for.

Is that Michael?

So why are you here?

You said you had a last minute case.

What are you doing here?

And I assume these are the
famous Charlie and Rex?

Michael. Why are you here?

And why does a witness say that you had
had a fight with Abel Rivers last night?

Sounds like I'm the
case you're working on.

I'm sorry. I need
answers Michael.

I can't comment
on any connection to Abel.

Are you serious?

The man was killed.

And you were one of the last
to see him alive.

Not to mention, you are here.

In an illegal casino after you
me about what you were doing.

Maybe it would be a good idea
to tell us what you know.

Sarah, I'm not trying to hide anything
to hide from you, but,

I can't comment
on what I'm doing here or on Abel Rivers.

Okay. I need fingerprints.

You have no reason.

You refuse?
- Yes.

What is wrong with you?

Sarah...

I want to help, okay?

But this is confidentiality
between lawyer and client.

Who is the client?

You know I can't say that.

But you probably already know
that Abel was in big trouble.

He owed a lot of money.

And I tried to talk to him.
- Okay.

So when the cab driver
saw you and Abel arguing....

I'm not going to
comment on that, but...

I wonder if the cab driver might have heard
Abel might have heard him say:

That he would have the money tomorrow,

even if he had to open up the cesspool
had to pull it open to get it?

What does that mean?

I can't say.

Because of your client?

Yes.

Do you think he has anything
to do with this?

How about you?

Jesse, you are not at your table.

Is it your break?

Sorry boss.

Brielle replaced me at the blackjack table.

Jesse, what did you do?

Apparently, six consecutive
losing is bad for business.

Don't worry. Just follow the
situation just from the van.

Michael told Sarah
that Abel would have the money and that he would...

was willing to open the cesspool
to get it.

Perhaps he was threatening to expose someone.

Maybe it's the casino.

He was a hundred thousand dollars
debt. So maybe...

he threatened to expose this place
if they didn't discharge his account.

Reggie.

Where does the casino keep the cash book?

Brielle always has it with it.

Except in...

the 15 minutes she takes at 1
night takes a smoke break.

And what happens in that quarter?

She stows it away in the back room, Joe.

And there is only one way
in or out.

You're not planning
to break in, are you?

No.

We plan it.

Hey.

I'm going to go outside for a while.

I'll be right back.

Do you need anything?

Left pocket.

Hi, Brielle.

Do you happen to know where I can vape?

I'm just going out to smoke myself.

I know it's bad.

Why don't you come with me?

Oh dear.

Sorry.

Is it going?
- Yes.

Nice. I
been trying to quit for years.

It doesn't really work out for me.

I have the keys.

Hey big one.

Can you help me with anything?

Let's see what we have here.

What do you have?

Rex found something.

Okay, buddy. Back off, back off.

I just found a big
suitcase full of weapons.

Maybe multiple cases.

Plans changed.

Maybe you could hurry up.
Don't know how long...

Joe can still keep Brielle out.

Bersa TPR9. The same weapon
with which Abel was murdered.

And if Rex detects it,

it has recently been fired.

Give me a sample,
so I can confirm it.

Okay, friend. Yeah, I hear you.

Let's see.

Well done, Rex.

Okay, come on.

I tell you that
if you're a foodie,

Singapore Chili Crab.

You have to try it.
It's in my top five.

No, it can't be better
be than bigos in Poland.

Bigos in Poland? Well...
- Yes.

Why don't we go on vacation?

Try them both. And then we can
we argue about it when we get back.

Fine, but it's over and done with
when you taste those bigos.

What does your employer
about you taking time off?

It feels like you run this place.

It's not that bad.

I determine my own working hours.

Speaking of which, I must
back to my guests.

Um, shall we have a time...

have a drink?
- Yes, please.

Shall I give you my number?

Just give a shout.

Cause I'd like to pick up
where we left off,

if that's okay with you.

I'll call you soon, Joe Donnell.

Serial numbers have been filed away.

Ready for the market.

This is much larger than we expected.

The Bersa certainly corresponds
with the type of weapon that killed Abel.

We have to close this place down now.

We still don't have our killer.

In the casino cash book, there are many people.

Terri Glass. She has a hefty bill.

She is, however, all over the place.
Maybe Dad helped her.

And Abel Rivers doesn't owe the
casino no money owed.

If Abel didn't owe the casino money,

why would he then take out a $100,000 loan from a
dollars from a usurer?

What was he up to?

I collect Abel's bank information.

Yes, he was broke, guys.

He was withdrawing every few weeks
large sums of cash.

No idea where it was going.

What about the weapons?

So Abel brought
a hundred thousand to the casino....

and was killed by a smuggled weapon.

There was that old
gun charge on his criminal record.

Maybe this is not
about money for gambling.

Maybe this is about guns.

If Abel was involved in arms dealing,

he might have been killed because of that.

Weapons?

Ho, ho, ho.

I don't know anything about weapons.

It's just a private club.
- Reggie.

A legal secret private club...

With a supply of untraceable weapons?

You don't know anything about that, Reggie?

I thought it was only
backroom deals.

Joe, I arrange the meetings.

Okay, how?

I get a text message with a
time when someone can come,

and they always meet
each other always in the Brielle office.

Did Abel ever participate in that?

Yes, a few times.

The last time was yesterday.

Gus said that Abel came to him with
a whiny story about getting screwed.

Said they had taken his hundred thousand dollars
taken and then had left him.

Did Abel ever threaten to betray the arms deal
to betray in order to get his money back?

I don't know anything about that, Joe.

Honest.

I just got the message.

It's going to happen now.

Table three.
- Yes ma'am.

All eyes on Reggie.

He has our man.

He goes with a drink
to our arms dealer.

Everything all right, sir?
- Yeah, I'm fine.

Okay, thanks.

Sir, it's time.

Hey, sir.

You are not authorized to
go in there.

I think so.
- No.

Sir, hey.
- Hey.

Stay where you are.

Looking for something?

Just got lost.

I know what's in it.

No movement.

What do you got, pal?

Looks like someone beat you to it.

Joe Donovan. Joe Donnell.

You must not have come up with that easily.

This photo was taken at 01:00.

Right around the time we were
were smoking together.

Exactly. And when we arrested Sajak,

all those weapons were gone.

Where have they gone, Brielle?

I don't know anything about that.

Did Abel Rivers have anything to do with it?

I doubt it. He was a gambler.
A bad one, nothing more.

Good.

This weapon was recently fired.

The powder matched the
residue found at Abel Rivers.

This weapon was among all those
other now-defunct weapons.

Are you saying that I had something to do
with the murder of Abel Rivers?

Where were you the day before yesterday
around two o'clock in the morning?

I was at the club.
- Can anyone confirm that?

I had problems with the oven.

I was on the phone with the
service person at 1:45 and he came right over.

Problems with the oven.
- That's right, yes.

Brielle, I don't want to arrest you.

But I have so much to charge you with.

Arms smuggling.

Operating an illegal casino.

Conspiracy to murder.

Girl, you have to give me something.

You didn't tell me you were a cop.

You didn't tell me
you were an arms dealer.

We both have our secrets.

What if...?

I would tell you the name of the other one....

person who
had access to that back room?

I would say that you should arrange a
new meeting to be arranged.

Miss Tung.

I was so happy to hear from you.

And that handsome boy.

I thought he belonged to...

Oh Charles is not the
The only one I keep on a leash.

This boy is also mine.

Aha.

You wanted to talk to me?

Yes...

I thought.

What does a contribution
to that Terri's Table gets you?

A good deed comes with rewards.

Donors notice that basically
every door in the city is open to them.

Call it karma.

And the money goes to...?
- A few goals.

You know what they say.

The rich help the poor.

I don't know who would say that.

It's all tax
deductible, I assume?

Of course.

Okay. I was thinking about
starting with $500,000.

Annual.

That would help a lot of people.

I don't care who it would help.

Except my tax rate.

As long as it helps me, you can use my donation
for whatever you want.

Wow, cold as ice.

If there's money
is that you want to hide,

I have in the past
provisions,

To take money off the books for customers.

Yes, there may come a
time when I need that.

Good.

Well, I think a
drink is in order.

One more thing.

Ask.

I've heard rumors that
you could deliver other things,

which may be a little
difficult to obtain.

Especially in this country.

I don't know what you're talking about.

Well, if you're not honest with me, I can
I can take my money somewhere else.

Calm down. Keep her on a leash.

Don't.

What do you need?

A weapon.

Something small but deadly.
Can you deliver that?

When?
- Now.

It may take a while.
- No, I don't have time. I just...

I am concerned
about my personal safety.

Charles has become increasingly unstable.

I understand.

Wait a minute.

Okay. Just wait for the transfer.

Yeah, we're done. Hey.

You have Rex. Trust
him. He's good at this.

This gets the job done.

Is it loaded?

Only one bullet is missing.

That's funny.

I know exactly where it is.

Sarah Truong. St. John's
police. You're under arrest.

Sarah, are you doing well?

Yes.

Ice cold, right?

You can wait for your lawyer, but it
may be in your best interest to talk now.

Would you leave us alone for a moment?

Come on Terri. How did you get
get involved in this?

In the beginning, it was simple.

I used my connections to help people
help people break through the bureaucracy.

Settled some municipal contracts.

And that with your charitable foundation
To move money around?

Okay.

That's a long way from gun control.

I was so far into it.

Guns seemed to be the only way out.

So you made a deal with Sajak?

It's easy for the daughter of a
politician to get things across the border.

What I don't understand is that you didn't
the weapons.

Why?

I found a buyer who was willing to give me more.

I need that name.

Why did you kill Abel?

When the contract I
promised him didn't come through,

he wanted his money back.

I hadn't.

I just wanted to scare him.

The gun went off in my hand.

And you killed an innocent man.

Come.

Michael.

Hi.
- Hi.

I wanted to let you know earlier.

Michael helped me with my brother.

But you work for the Crown.

I examined Abel as a favor to Laila.

Privileges still apply.

I thought Abel was running the
funds of the company to the...

was gambling and asked
Michael to look for evidence.

Abel recognized me at the
Club and we got into a fight.

When he was killed,

I suspected that maybe he was
involved in something else.

Well, not exactly.

Abel told the truth.
He didn't gamble anymore.

He went to the casino to try to
get a benefit for your business.

And got tangled up with Terri.

We got a full confession from
her for the murder of your brother.

I'm glad to know that now.

I wish I had believed him sooner.

I am really grateful for your help.

Do you mind if we...?

You know you can
you can tell me, right?

I thought I had done it.

It's all public
now that Laila has given me permission.

Yes, but Laila...

You don't normally
don't take personal items.

I didn't think
it mattered. But...

she's my ex-girlfriend.

We are just friends.

I didn't mean to worry you or,

What, make me jealous?

Ah, Michael. I'd rather know,

Even if it would make me jealous.

It was foolish to keep it a secret.

Speaking of exes....

you and Charlie?

No.

No not at all.
- It's just in the casino,

were you two so on the same page.

I thought.

you know. i was maybe
a little jealous.

No no. We've never dated before.

No, you don't have to be jealous.

Okay.

Good.

Translation by Ruvado.

Next time in Hudson & Rex...

Wow, you're early.

The killer used
a five-inch knife.

Seems excessive to me.
- This is a well-organized killer.

I want you to patrol every neighborhood.

We are looking for someone who
wears a jester's mask.

Until we know who
this killer is targeting,

we must be vigilant.
- No trace of the suspect,

but we have another victim.

We're dealing with a
serial killer.

Rex.
