Hudson & Rex (2019–…): Season 4, Episode 5 - Rex To Riches - full transcript

A stock market guru's fortune is stolen, setting Charlie and Rex on the trail of a very surprising thief.

HOLLAND: Swans symbolize transformation.

From humble beginnings so much can grow.

I learned this first hand.

I was broke when I started
retail stock trading.

I was living in a bachelor apartment.

I could barely scrape
together enough change

for dinner at the local chip truck.

- I'm sure a lot of you can relate.
- (CROWD MURMURING)

Am I right?

Well, I am inviting you to
put penny-pinching behind you.

Because I have learned the secrets



on how to make real
money in the stock market

and I want to teach you!

Secret number one: don't waste
your money coming to seminars.

Inside this swan

is the first $500,000 that I made.

It is a reminder

of how far I've come

and my mission to help others
feel the transformative power

of financial freedom.

So are you ready to get free as a bird?

(CROWD CHEERING AND APPLAUDING)

Since you're my hometown crowd

for one day only

you can join Swan's Crossing



my online community for
exclusive stock tips for only

one hundred dollars.

Will you join my retail
trading revolution?

- CROWD: Yes! Yes!
- (CHEERING AND APPLAUSE)

Yes!

115 today.

Plus 270 yesterday.

- Which means...
- Holland Sharma made $385,000 in 24 hours.

That's double what Deepak
Chopra did when he was here.

I've never seen so
much money in one place.

That woman could sell
underwear to a nudist.

(CAITLIN LAUGHS)

So where is this record-breaking haul?

It was here a minute ago.

(EERIE MUSIC)

Where the hell did it go?

- I don't know.
- (DRAMATIC PERCUSSION)

(UPBEAT THEME MUSIC)

TENNANT: Apparently, they
rebuilt the cash room last year

and they have not replaced the CCTV.

So gather the rest of the footage

and see what you can put together

in terms of anyone suspicious
hanging around backstage

during the time-frame of the theft.

Yes ma'am! Uh, Deputy Chief, yep. Uh...

You must be Superintendent Donovan.

Deputy Chief Tennant. I
didn't expect to see you here.

Evidently not or you would
have made better time.

Well, why don't you
bring me up to speed?

Well, I just briefed Officer
Mills. But since you missed that,

we're looking at a
theft of nearly $400,000.

Well frankly, I was
surprised to get the call.

Major Crimes isn't usually
involved in cases like this.

I know I'm new to the
SJPD, but back in Calgary

a theft of this size is
considered pretty major.

I've heard that your team
is quick to close cases.

And based on the high
profile nature of the victim,

that's my top priority
and why I requested you.

- Oh, I appreciate it.
- HOLLAND: Dell?

Adele, I knew you would come.

Isn't this terrible?
Who would do this to me?

Uh... and full disclosure...

The victim is also a friend.

HOLLAND: Inseparable
ever since your parents

sent you out to stay with family

and we did that whole fancy
sailing camp in, what, '98?

'96. And it was not that fancy.

Holls, don't you have an assistant

that can carry that
thing around for you?

I am not letting this out of my sight.

Not after what happened today.

Speaking of which,

Holland Sharma, meet
Superintendent Donovan.

His team's going to be
investigating the case.

Hmm. And what do you know so far?

Well, my team is
processing the crime scene

and we'll have some information
for you as soon as possible.

Well, you'd better.

Otherwise Dell here'll have
something to say about it.

She's joking.

You have my full confidence.

And you'll have a full briefing ASAP.

Come. Let's get you some coffee.

SARAH: The money was
stolen between 5:15 and 5:30

- (REX SNIFFING)
- after the merchandise supervisor

tallied her sales and
before she returned

with her boss to finalize paperwork.

The place is pass-card enabled.

Yeah, but Jesse's run the records

and nobody entered the room during
the time-frame of the robbery.

Any prints?

Only the ones of the venue staff.

That means it's an inside job.

That was my first thought.

Okay, well I should have a chat
with this merchandise supervisor.

- (REX SNIFFING)
- She's waiting for you in the north lobby.

Okay. Rex, come on.

Rex!

Caitlin, walk me through what happened.

CAITLIN: I prepped the money as usual

then went to get Earl
to sign off on things.

The deposit bag was there when I left

and gone when we came
back 15 minutes later.

Seems risky leaving

a large amount of money
out in the open unattended

even if it's behind a locked door.

It's never been a problem before.

Earl and me are the only ones
who can get in there anyhow.

Anyone able to steal your
passkey without you noticing?

Not without taking off my belt.

(REX WHINES)

I think your dog needs to go out.

Nah, he's fine.

EARL: ... through the ballrooms.

Tell you what. Come with me.

I'll show you what I mean.

Stay here. I'll be right back.

Rex.

EARL: Caitlin's a good kid.

There's no way she stole all that money.

What makes you say that?

Well, for starters, she's
been my merch supervisor

for three years and never lost a cent.

Where were you when
the money was stolen?

Signing out staff at the stage door.

Ask any of them.

And you and Caitlin are the only ones

that have access to
this cash room, right?

- Yeah, so?
- (REX SNIFFING)

So how did somebody get into that room

if you and Caitlin
didn't steal the money?

You know,

Caitlin was a bit pushy about
wanting a raise a while back.

JESSE: Charlie.

I think I've got something.

Yeah.

- When was this?
- 5:15.

Right after she left the cash room.

Looks like Caitlin might've helped
herself to that raise, Earl. Rex.

SARAH: Hey.

Where is everybody? We're
supposed to be having a debrief.

Last I saw Charlie,

he was going to talk to
the merchandise supervisor.

- He onto something?
- She was the last one seen with the money.

What's the deputy chief doing down here?

Well, Holland Sharma's a friend of hers

so she's taken a keen interest.

Oh. Looking for stock tips?

No no. I put some money
in the market a while back.

So I just figured I'd
read up on Holland's method

- while waiting for everybody.
- Really? I mean, look,

stock markets are just like gambling.

You're just as likely to make
money off of a lottery ticket.

You're wrong, Jesse.

And you're late.

Tell Charlie to get in touch
with me when he gets back.

Okay!

That bag you saw in the video,

that just had my homework in it.

- I swear I didn't steal...
- Just open it, Caitlin.

What was that you were
saying about not stealing?

I can explain.

I work hard at this job.

I've been here three years and
I'm still paid minimum wage.

So I... I supplement a little.

So what? You, uh...

steal merch here and there

and you sell it online for cash?

Earl said that you were angling
for a raise a while back.

And I didn't get it.

Well, maybe you didn't steal the money

but maybe you had motive
to help somebody else do it?

I had nothing to do with
the robbery, Detective.

What do you think, Rex?

Rex?

Where did he go?

(CAITLYN SIGHS)

SARAH: Oh, you're on a mission.

You have a lead?

Rex might. He took off on me.

(REX SNIFFING)

(CAMERA SNAPPING)

(REX WHINING)

What have you got there, pal?

Look at this. These
screws have been removed.

Well, I think this is
how the thief got in.

You've been trying to tell me about
this all day, haven't you, pal?

Somebody got in through here?

It'd be a pretty tight fit.

Yeah, a smart way to
bypass the locks though.

(REX WHINES)

Something more, hey? Um...

- Do you have the... ?
- Yeah, yeah, yeah.

Thanks.

Yeah, I see it.

Well, this is going to sound crazy.

- Is that fur?
- I think a dog did this.

(REX BARKS)

(DRAMATIC PERCUSSION)

DONOVAN: So you think
a dog pulled this heist?

Well, I mean, probably
a well-trained one.

DONOVAN: Okay, so, if
I'm going to tell Tennant

that a dog stole Holland's money,

I need to know exactly
how that's possible.

JESSE: Maybe it was primed
to the scent of money?

That's a good idea.

Hold on, primed from how far?

Well, under perfect conditions,

a dog can smell up to 20 kilometers.

DONOVAN: Sure, but the
money's scent could not travel

through a door to a vent and the dog.

Jesse, you're sure
there's no useful CCTV?

Well, the only camera setup
was in the back of the hallway

but it didn't catch anything.

You know, there's another
important question.

Is it "What's for breakfast?"

because I haven't eaten
anything yet today, so...

Ooh! Thank you.

So setting aside the dog of it all...

(REX GROANS)

Oh yeah. No offence, partner.

But I mean even if this
dog is Rex-level skilled,

he didn't pull off this heist alone.

Okay, so how do we find
the human mastermind

without an ID on the dog?

I still think it's an inside job.

Yeah, that would make sense.

There was no indication the
thief forced off the vent cover.

- Which means that...
- CHARLIE: Someone removed the screws

to give it access.

SARAH: Oh, hey. The fur from the vent

- came from a blonde Labrador retriever.
- Mrrrommit!

I'm on it.

I mean what kind of dog person

can resist posting
pet pics on Instagram.

I do.

Well, you haven't posted in years.

Did you forget your password?

Yeah.

You know what? Rex and I are going
to see if we can find any more clues

- along the thief's path at the venue.
- Oh, I'm coming.

I have an idea.

Okay. Rex!

Well, that's just great.

I get to tell the deputy chief
that a dog stole her friend's money.

SARAH: Here we go.

- Hey.
- Alright, stay still for Sarah, pal.

I bet you're eager to
get into that vent, hey?

He's been acting funny
ever since last night.

He woke up this morning and
he was pacing back and forth

like he was working
something out in his mind.

Well, Rex does have a personal
stake in this one. Huh?

A highly-trained dog
using its skills for evil?

He's like a... he's like the anti-Rex.

- Hmm?
- You hear that, pal?

You have your first archnemesis!

- Here. Okay.
- (REX SNIFFING)

Track it.

(SUSPENSEFUL MUSIC)

I've got the image up.

Alright. Well, let's see how
that dog got through the building.

(SPY MOVIE MUSIC)

SARAH: Rex is heading west.

West. Okay.

According to this blueprint,

Rex should be traveling
above a storage room.

It looks like there's a parking
garage on the other side of it.

- We can cut through here.
- Yeah.

(REX BARKING)

SARAH: It looks like Rex hit a dead end

but GPS has him close.

Well, this looks like it might be it.

Yeah.

Hey, partner!

- Oh, look at you!
- (REX BARKS)

Oh I see it's a ladder.

Can Rex climb?

I've been trying to
teach him but no. Not yet.

Yeah, it seems like our thief can.

- Maybe don't mention that to Rex.
- Yeah.

Hey, pal. Good job.

- Why don't you head back the way you came?
- (REX BARKS)

Well, it makes sense how our thief

got in and out of the building.

And that means we have a crime scene.

I'm going to call my team.

I'm going to get Rex out here

and see if he can track
where the thief went to.

Okay.

You think a what
stole Holland Sharma's money?

I know. It sounds crazy.

But, just give me the
benefit of the doubt okay?

It's a viable scenario,
given the evidence.

And if a dog committed this crime,

then we have ultimate officer
on our team to track him down.

- Rex?
- Exactly.

Well,

the chief and I have been talking.

And we feel that Major Crimes

could use a little bit more oversight.

Why's that?

Your team is unique.

And everyone can benefit
from a little extra support

from their commanding
officers from time to time.

Advice, guidance, direction.

All my team is unique.

And I'm proud of them.

So give me concrete examples
of why this is necessary.

(TENNANT SIGHS) I want to be very
careful about next steps here.

I don't want my first
interaction with the public

to be about a theft committed by a dog.

- But that could be the case.
- And it could not be.

And then I look like a fool.

I've got a steep enough
hill to climb already

given that I'm not one
of the good old boys.

Well, that's something you and
I have in common, DC Tennant.

I want an update by the end of the day.

(DONOVAN SIGHS)

- Hey, Sarah.
- Hey.

Did you find a match for the
print on the vent in the alleyway?

I'm running them now.

Did Rex pick up the thief's scent

anywhere else outside the building?

No, I'm guessing its owner
picked it up in the alleyway.

But there's no way to confirm that.

Well, maybe Jesse can get you CCTV?

The venue did not have a feed out there.

Convenient. More
evidence of an inside job.

- But it wasn't Caitlin.
- Oh.

- (COMPUTER BEEPS)
- Oh, we've got a match on those prints.

Look at that.

EARL: It looks like a vent.

What do you want me to say?

I want you to explain to me why
your fingerprints are all over it.

Is that the one in the alley out back?

- Near the fire exit?
- It is.

I sneak a break in out
there from time to time.

I'm trying to quit so I
keep my smokes in the vent.

Helps keep me honest.

We didn't find any cigarettes out there.

Well, I smoked the last
of them after the robbery.

Can you blame me?

Hmm.

You know, I bet you also know
that there's no CCTV in the alley.

I guess, yeah.

What about the missing screws
from the vent in the cash room.

Sure you don't know anything about that?

Come on.

It'd be stupid for me
to steal from the venue.

All that insurance
paperwork I've got to do?

Not worth it. I don't care how
much money we're talking about.

Right.

Look...

Am I free to go, or... ?

No. Not quite yet. Rex.

Do you have a dog, Mr. Hamilton?

I don't see what that has
to do with anything but no.

I've got no time for one, with work.

Track it.

(SUSPENSEFUL MUSIC)

(REX SNIFFING)

Hmm.

ALEX: Excuse me.

Are you, like, a cop?

- Well yeah, I am. But um...
- Great.

I got something to report.

Sure, I can take you in to
the see the desk sergeant.

That's two thousand dollars, yo.

Where did you get this?

It was in my mailbox
when I got home from work.

Figured I should bring it in

in case someone's trying to like
bribe me or whatever, you know?

Why would anybody be
trying to bribe you?

I don't know man. Maybe I like,

saw something but didn't know it,

like in that movie.

- You know.
- Yeah, that movie.

Listen, are you familiar
with Holland Sharma by chance?

Dude. That's incredible.

Are all cops psychic?

'Cuz that'd explain that
time I got pulled over...

No I'm not psychic, not psychic.

My team's investigating a theft.

How do you know her?

Oh, I don't know-know her.

I joined her online
club thing for a while

after a friend made
real bank off it. But,

one of her tips lost me
all the money I saved.

(DOOR LOCK BEEPS)

Oh, you guys will never
guess what's in this.

(REX WHINES)

(REX SNIFFING)

CHARLIE: Well whatever
it is, Rex is interested.

Yeah he is, because it's $2000 worth

of Holland's stolen money.

Yeah, some guy brought it in.

Claims he found it in his mailbox.

- He found it?
- Yeah and get this,

he used to be part of
Holland's online community

until one of her tips lost him $1800.

- That can't be a coincidence.
- Yeah.

That makes motive for the
robbery revenge on Holland

getting compensation for the money lost

for stocks that she recommended.

If that's the case, then this
guy wouldn't be the only one

- who got cash in his mailbox.
- Yeah, Jesse can you... ?

Oh I'm on it. I'm on it.
Two dozen people have posted

about finding this money
from $1500 to 25 grand.

Okay. Some people even posted pictures.

Purple elastics.

It's all from the venue heist.

I'm sorry. What's all
from the venue heist?

Holland's stolen money is showing up

in mailboxes all across town.

One of the recipients used her tips

and lost all his money.

So what are you saying? That our
thief is some sort of Robin Hood?

Well, yeah. A Robin Hood
with a dog as Little John.

Jesse, I want you to
contact every single person

who received money and
see if they saw anything

that can lead us to who's
been dropping it off.

- (DOOR LOCK BEEPS)
- I need to go let Tennant know.

Let Tennant know what?

Well, we got a lead on the money.

TENNANT: Well, that's
going to have to wait

because the damn dog is at it again.

(REX BARKS)

Easy, Rex.

He's just eager to catch our thief.

Well, not eager enough to stop it
from stealing Holland's crystal swan.

And it was all caught on
her home security system.

I guess she found out about
the whole dog situation, right?

Well, now's your opportunity

to show me how uniquely
equipped Major Crimes is.

You find this thief and fast

or I will find a team who can.

(DRAMATIC MUSIC)

Of course having the seminar
money stolen was terrible.

But this...

It's personal.

I feel so violated!

I understand.

A break-in can be a horrible violation.

No, it's not the break-in.

It's the swan!

It's the physical manifestation of
my life's story and now it's gone!

Have you had any negative encounters
with any of your clients recently?

I prefer to call them
community members but no. Why?

Well, we just believe that this
crime was perpetrated by a...

well a community member

or a former one who may have
lost money using one of your tips.

All I can do is share my expertise.

If people don't listen,
that's out of my hands.

What do you mean don't listen?

My golden rule is to buy and hold.

But that's hard to do when
you're watching your stock tank.

Yeah, I know that from experience.

Exactly.

People sell in a panic and
then they end up losing big.

But that's not on me or any analyst.

It's on them.

Holland's security system caught
it all. This footage is crazy.

Jesse, between the swan and the money

this is a six hundred
thousand-dollar B&E.

Try not to sound so excited.

You wouldn't be saying that if
you saw what this dog can do.

- Look!
- (REX BARKS)

I'm sorry, Rex. No, you're great too.

So wait how did the dog do this?

Oh here, see for yourself.

The dog comes straight into the office.

Climbs this library
ladder and grabs the swan

escaped with half a million
in a matter of seconds.

(REX BARKS)

Yeah, we can go through this later, pal,

but right now, we need
to find some clues, okay?

Rex. Get the scent. Track it.

Great news, guys. I managed to pull
a print off Holland's bookshelf.

But we just watched the
heist. It was only the dog.

Yeah. I meant a print from the dog.

Their noses are just as
unique as a human fingerprint.

DONOVAN: Alright. So
once we have a suspect,

- we should be able to match the print to their dog.
- Exactly.

(REX BARKS)

(SUSPENSEFUL MUSIC)

CHARLIE: Yeah, I see it. Here we go.

What is it?

It's an earpiece with fur on it.

It must have belonged to our thief.

DONOVAN: So that's how
the dog found its target.

Our Robin Hood was
directing it via camera.

Yeah, just like the
one we used to watch Rex

go through the venue's vents.

Our thief isn't a superhero at all.

They're just following commands.

(REX BARKS)

TENNANT: So you found a nose print.

How is that going to help us?

DONOVAN: It will once we find a suspect.

I've got Jesse looking for Lab owners

who lost big on Holland's tips.

I mean, we're getting close.

That's good to hear.

- Can I ask you a question?
- Yes. That's what I'm here for.

Can you offer some insight into
Holland Sharma's early career?

What does that have
to do with the thefts?

Well, if I read her book correctly,

she made her first half-million, the
money from the swan, in just weeks.

That's impossibly fast.

What exactly are you asking?

Obviously, she's exaggerated her
rags to riches tale for effect.

I just want to know
what the real story is.

You know, I don't think that
this falls within the scope

of our investigation, Superintendent.

You and I both know that her entire
persona is predicated on this...

this working-class origin story.

But what if that story is exaggerated.

It would explain why someone
is so driven to expose her.

Holland is the victim here.

Yeah, maybe.

But she's definitely not innocent.

Hey, give me some good news people.

Well, I cross-referenced
like you asked.

Now all these people at some point

complained online about losing
money thanks to Holland's tips.

Did they all own Labradors?

No no, but almost a dozen do.

SARAH: Well that's still
a big pool of suspects.

What about the folks who had access
to the venue's ventilation system?

Well, there's only one person
that meets all three criteria.

(COMPUTER BEEPS)

(REX BARKS)

Yeah, I know, pal.

Who is she?

Her name is Marlene Hamilton.

Earl's sister.

She lost her kid's entire college fund

when one of Holland's
tips didn't pan out.

That is interesting. He
didn't mention that earlier.

I thought Rex didn't
smell the Lab on Earl.

Yeah. He didn't.

That doesn't mean he wasn't
involved in the heist.

SARAH: Great work, Sally.

- I'll be back soon with results.
- Thanks.

You know, Earl your sister's
looking pretty nervous in there.

You sure there's nothing
you want to tell me?

Does that lump of a dog seem up
to crawling through vents to you?

So I understand you suffered
a significant financial loss

thanks to Holland Sharma.

That I did.

But what has that got to
do with Sally's nose print?

Well, a Lab was used

in a couple of thefts
against Holland Sharma

one that happened at
your brother's venue.

This is crazy.

That dog wouldn't crawl through a vent

if there was a flank
steak at the other end.

Your sister wants revenge.

The seminars at your venue
are the perfect way to get it.

- You sure she didn't ask for your help?
- No way.

She'd never.

I'd never steal anything from anybody

much less get my family
involved in something like this.

Not even if all they had to
do was remove a few screws?

Remove a few screws.

Make sure that there's
nobody in the cash room.

That's not too much
of her to ask of you.

This is the second
time you've accused me

of something I didn't do.

Arrest me. Or let me go.

The dermal ridge
patterns aren't a match.

- Sally's not our thief.
- What'd I tell you?

Why don't you check your
print with a breeder?

They keep that kind of
thing on file, you know.

Oh, he's happy for the run, hey?

Yeah, been a busy couple days.

Hasn't been much time for exercise.

Listen, you had a chance
to match that nose print

my colleague sent
over with your records?

Yeah, sure did.

Belongs to a Lab I
trained as a seeing-eye dog

for this sweet old
man who died last year.

Regina. Brilliant pup, she was.

- Her owner passed?
- Mmm.

Any idea where Regina
went after he died?

Yeah, might do.

Here.

Your man's a stubborn one, hey?

(REX WHINES)

(REX BARKS)

Oh yeah. He's really agile. But...

loses his confidence
a bit around ladders.

Ah, it takes time.

Yours will climb when he has reason to.

In the meantime, Regina was
adopted by the Aziz family.

That's the address.

Thank you. Rex.

- We've got her. Let's go.
- Cheers.

(HAMMER ON WOOD)

CHARLIE: Excuse me?

I'm with SJPD.

I'm looking for the Aziz family.

- Do you know where I can find them?
- MAN: This is a foreclosure.

Yeah we found... I
mean Rex found Regina.

Good job, pal.

But our Robin Hood got away.

What do you mean he got away?

Well, I talked to someone

who I thought was a real
estate agent when we got here.

He was gone. So I'm guessing
he was Regina's owner.

What kind of person would just
take off and leave their dog behind?

The type of person that
doesn't want to get caught.

Okay, yeah. Touché actually.

Hey, listen, I'm sending you
a picture of the Aziz family.

See if you can recognize
your real estate agent.

(PHONE CHIMES)

Yeah, that's him.

DONOVAN: David Aziz.

He worked as a heating
and cooling technician.

Well, that probably explains how
he got access to the venue's vents.

Okay, I'm sending an
APB out on him right now.

I didn't come across his
name in any of my research.

Well, that doesn't mean he didn't
lose big on one of Holland's tips.

CHARLIE: Yeah and judging by the
foreclosure sign in front of his house,

I'm guessing he lost big on something.

But why would he be giving
a bunch of money away

if he needs it so bad?

Well, we'll be sure to ask
him as soon as we find him.

- You got a new address for me?
- Yeah, yeah.

I'm sending it to your GPS now.

(KEYBOARD CLACKING)

Okay, there you go.

Okay, great. Rex.

My husband did what?

We believe he committed two
thefts against Holland Sharma.

Holland?

Oh my God!

David said he was going
to get the house back!

- But I never thought...
- Mrs. Aziz,

when's the last time
you saw your husband?

Four days ago.

And he missed our last
visit with our daughter.

Visit?

We're separated.

I thought I could forgive him for

losing all of our savings, but...

How much did he lose exactly?

Almost 28 thousand dollars.

If you hear from him,
you give me a call.

Rex.

(DOOR LOCK BEEPS)

(SARAH LAUGHS)

Way to go, Rex.

JESSE: Hey, Rex. You
cuffed your first perp!

That's awesome! You got one up on me.

Don't worry, Jesse, you'll
get your chance some day.

Any luck tracking down Aziz?

No hits on the APB and he
hasn't shown up to work.

Our Robin Hood is in the wind.

Well, something tells
me he won't be for long.

- What's happened?
- I hate to say it, but Tennant was right.

Holland went public.

HOLLAND: My mission is
to help ordinary folks

find success in the stock market.

But someone decided that it
would be easier to steal from me

than use my advice and
earn their own money.

That's pathetic, isn't it?

But what's worse is that certain
members of the St. John's Police

are more interested in
questioning my history

than go after the criminals

who have stolen hundreds
of thousands of dollars.

She's practically daring
Aziz to strike again.

Yeah, but Aziz is pretty much a ghost.

How are we supposed to find him?

What if we make use of the dog
that already knows his scent?

How could we be sure
Regina won't just run away?

Easy.

We give her a tail.

Regina should be able
to track Aziz from here.

It's the last place they
were together. Hey, Rex,

you keep her in sight, yeah?
We'll be right behind you.

(SUSPENSEFUL MUSIC)

SARAH: Charlie, are you sure about this?

CHARLIE: You ever read that article

about the dog that walked 60
kilometres to find its owner?

Trust me,

Regina's going to lead us to Aziz.

It looks like Regina and Rex
have stopped just up ahead.

Okay.

Hang on.

HOLLAND: Has anyone seen my laptop?

WOMAN: No! Not down here!

(OMINOUS MUSIC)

SARAH: It's Holland Sharma's house.

CHARLIE: Aziz must have
taken her up on her dare.

(KNOCKING ON DOOR)

(DRAMATIC PERCUSSION)

(DOOR OPENING)

HOLLAND: Detective
Hudson. What's going on?

CHARLIE: Ms. Sharma, we
have reason to believe

the man involved in the thefts
is in your house at the moment.

- Can we come inside?
- HOLLAND: Yes, of course,

but there's no one here
except for me and my staff.

SARAH: And you're certain no
one else could have gotten in?

- HOLLAND: No.
- (FOOTSTEPS)

(DRAMATIC PERCUSSION)

CHARLIE: Mr. Aziz, stop right there!

- (DOGS BARKING)
- Oh, Regina!

It's okay! It's me!

Oh! It's okay! It's me! It's me!

Ughh! Regina! Down girl!

Regina! Okay!

Down girl! Aghh!

No, Regina! It's not a
game! No, it's okay, girl!

- Come on!
- (DOGS BARKING)

No! Oh no no no! Okay! Ah ah ah!

Okay okay! Ah ah!

Ah ah ah! No!

- Oh no!
- (HOLLAND SIGHS)

Oh!

No!

No.

- You want to take this one?
- Sure.

You don't understand!

You can tell us all about
it back at the station.

DONOVAN: Let's start with the money.

We know that you used 20
thousand to buy back your house

and we've tracked another 300
thousand that you gave away.

Where's the rest?

That money belongs to
Holland Sharma's clients.

She's a crook.

Just because one of her
stock tips didn't pan out?

She profited because we all lost.

Again and again she did that.

What do you mean?

She's been running pump
and dump schemes for years.

Pump and dumps.

It's when someone promotes a company

without revealing that
they're invested in them.

When the share price goes
up they sell at a profit.

And you think Holland
Sharma was doing this?

- I'm sure she was.
- And that's why you wanted her laptop.

But now that it's been destroyed,

I know I'm going to jail.

But please,

could you do me just one favour?

You're not really in a
position to bargain here.

The money is in a storage
locker on Kenmount Road.

I never intended on keeping it. Just...

find a way to stop Holland Sharma.

No one else should have
their lives ruined by her.

(REGINA WHINES)

- Heads up, Jesse.
- Huh?

Hey hey, that's mine!

Nice try, you thief.

I thought you were
keeping an eye on her, huh?

- (REX GROANS)
- Hey.

My team just called from
Aziz's storage locker.

They found the money and the swan.

Something else, too. Oh yes. Thank you.

Packing supplies, and this...

DONOVAN: Names.
Addresses, dollar amounts.

- What are we looking at?
- I recognize those names.

Those are the people that
lost money to Holland's tips.

Aziz was planning on
sending them all money.

Yeah, he really took
this Robin Hooding thing

- to a whole new level.
- Speaking of which, Jesse,

- have any luck with Holland's computer?
- Yeah, absolutely.

I restored the hard
drive and found documents

- tracking her market moves going back years.
- And?

Well every large stock
sale came after she promoted

the same stock to her
followers. She'd promote it.

The price would go up and she'd sell.

So Aziz was right.

Yeah I mean Holland's been running
pump and dumps her entire career.

It started with smaller amounts, but,

she made her entire fortune

off the backs of people she
promised she'd make rich.

So, what happens now?

(REX WHINES)

HOLLAND: Your instincts were right.

You were right about him.

And I have to say that I had...

- I didn't...
- TENNANT: I heard you recovered the money.

And I just had to call
Holland right away.

I am so thrilled, Inspector Donovan.

Holland Sharma, you're under arrest.

On what charges?

Stock market manipulation, for starters.

But my officer here
will explain the rest.

No!

Wait.

- Adele.
- Holland!

You'd better have a very
good explanation for this.

Holland's been preying on people
to the tune of millions of dollars.

That's impossible.

We've got more than enough evidence.

She may not have lied
about her origin story

but she definitely lied about
how she made her millions.

I don't know what to say.

Well, I can't say that I'm sorry
that my team solved the crime.

But I am sorry that you
lost a friend as a result.

You did good work on this case.

I can see why the chief thinks
so highly of Major Crimes.

Thank you.

- Uh, Donovan...
- Yeah?

Meet me first thing tomorrow morning

ad we can go over my
strategic objectives

for your team moving forward.

Of course.

And I'll be on time.

AZIZ: Oh, you're such a good girl.

I'm so sorry I ever got
you involved in this.

Thanks for letting me say goodbye.

It was the least we could do

after you helped
expose Holland's crimes.

I'm going to mention that
to the crown attorney.

- Appreciate that.
- Yeah.

And the money?

It may take a little bit of
time to get through the courts.

But eventually, Holland's victims
are going to receive compensation.

(THE DOGS WHINE)

(SOFT GUITAR)

Come on, girl!

Good girl! Oh!

(REX WHINES)

Hey. Don't worry, pal.

I know you're sad but
she's going to be okay.

Maybe we'll have a play date!

Good girl! Ahh.

She could teach you a thing or two.

- (REX BARKS)
- I was joking.

Yeah.

Next time on Hudson & Rex...

Angel, this is Sorcerer. I've
got some potential trouble

knocking on my back door.

We were contacted by a Federal Agent

- who received an anonymous tip.
- What are you saying?

We think you're about to be hijacked

What happened? Where
the hell is the trailer?

- I don't know. It's just gone.
- Now is enough time for them to escape

with enough explosives
to blow up a city block.

- Drop your weapon!
- Detective Hudson, what a nice surprise.

- Kye Dunne.
- Cuff him to the rig.

(REX WHINES)

Good job, buddy. Good Job!

Keep digging!

Come on!

- (EXPLOSION)
- Ahhh!
