00:00Welcome to day 100 of Fortitude, the Newfoundland edition.
00:09Only three contestants remain, isolated from the outside world and each other.
00:16Living off the land with meager tools.
00:19As I tell the kids that I help, the universe always provides.
00:24Relying on only themselves for food and shelter.
00:27The wild will be tamed.
00:30As they self-record their own trials and tribulations entirely alone.
00:39I'm more at home here than home.
00:43And whoever lasts the longest wins a million bucks.
00:51Someone's favorite show's on, huh?
00:53Of the ten original contestants, only Grimes, Tuttle, and Belfry remain.
00:59Having lasted longer than anyone in the entire history of the Fortitude franchise.
01:06And to mark such an auspicious occasion, we're coming to you live!
01:12Okay, Keith, get all the cameras hot and ready.
01:14On it.
01:15That's right.
01:16Live to air.
01:17And each contestant will get a live video call with their spouse.
01:22Broadcast to thousands and thousands of viewers.
01:26Standing by, Keith.
01:27Lucy, coming to you.
01:28First, Lucy and Zach Belfry.
01:30Okay, switch to the Belfry's.
01:32Honey, can you hear me?
01:33I can see you.
01:34Loud and clear, love.
01:35How do I look?
01:36Strong.
01:37And in need of a bath.
01:38More from you two later.
01:39Now let's check in on the Grimes.
01:40Okay.
01:41Live on Grimes?
01:42Got them live.
01:43Here comes Janice.
01:44Oh, Perry.
01:45Are you okay?
01:46You look so weak.
01:47I'm hanging in there.
01:48No worries.
01:49Wow, that Grimes guy can't last much longer, right?
01:50And now our final couple, Jim Tuttle and his wife Miriam.
01:51Okay, go to the Tuttles.
01:52Where's the contestant?
01:53Give me a second.
01:54We don't have a second.
01:55Jim?
01:56I can't see you.
01:57Can you hear me?
01:58Miriam, just stand by.
02:00Okay.
02:01I think I've got them.
02:02Don't think.
02:03Go live.
02:04Matthew!
02:05Go live?
02:06No people in the house.
02:07You won't be fed.
02:08Come live.
02:09Okay.
02:10Great.
02:11chenu.
02:12You know, pod.
02:13Do you want to 55?
02:14You go live?
02:16Oh, good boy, exactly.
02:17Where's the contestant?
02:18Give me a second.
02:19We don't have a second.
02:20Ect.
02:21Jim.
02:22I can't see you.
02:23Can you hear me?
02:24Miriam, just stand by.
02:26Okay.
02:27I think I've got them.
02:29Don't think.
02:30Go live.
02:31Find me.
02:32Donovan says the mayor's all over this.
02:46He wants to assure the public that the death is being properly investigated.
02:49Half the island was watching last night.
02:51Yeah. Meanwhile, looks like a bear attack.
02:53Wildlife officers are searching for it now.
02:55Bears are rare on this part of the island, I hear.
02:57Are we sure this wasn't some other kind of animal?
02:59Well, I'll show you what we've discovered so far.
03:00The coroner's already removed the body from the scene, but I'll be performing the autopsy.
03:04Awesome.
03:12Is there any sign of foul play?
03:14My gut tells me something feels off.
03:18Charles' body was found here.
03:20There was a large volume of blood, indicating his jugular vein was likely punctured.
03:24I'll know more after the autopsy, but there were no visible defensive wounds.
03:27Might have been too weak to fight back.
03:28Rex and I have been watching the show.
03:30These contestants have been out here a long time.
03:32Rex was watching?
03:35He remembers when it's on and whines until I watch it with him.
03:39Are these the, uh, bear tracks here?
03:42There's a clear imprint here in the mud.
03:43We'll take a cast.
03:44It's not much of an indentation.
03:45The bear must have been pretty lightweight.
03:47Or it could have been sick, starving.
03:49A healthy bear wouldn't normally take the risk of attacking a human.
03:51And then again, there's always the odd predatory animal.
04:04Rex?
04:14Hold up there, buddy.
04:16Killer bears are no joke.
04:18No more tracks.
04:31What do you got there?
04:34Could be fur.
04:36Might be a bear.
04:43I'll beg it and send it to the lab.
04:44What's this?
05:12More bear tracks?
05:13Tires.
05:15Maybe an ATV?
05:17I mean, it could be how the, uh, TV crew reaches the campsites.
05:20Well, Jesse's holding the crew of the show at their base camp to be interviewed.
05:23It's a couple kilometers west of the campsites.
05:28Can you get me an ATV?
05:29It'd be great to have some wheels out here.
05:30I'll see what I can do.
05:32Thanks.
05:36Tires, huh?
05:36I'll see you next time.
05:46I'll see you next time.
05:53There you go.
06:08Thanks.
06:08Yeah.
06:09Who's who?
06:10Well, okay, that's Sloane Castle over there.
06:13She's the producer.
06:14She seems a little bit stressed.
06:16Because of the bear attack?
06:17Well, it might just be her permanent state.
06:20Can somebody get me a latte?
06:21Yeah, I think I see what you mean.
06:23Yeah.
06:24Also, I spoke to the rest of the crew.
06:25Nobody's actually seen a bear since they started shooting out here.
06:28Could they be covering up, saying what they've been told to, because production could be negligent?
06:33It's possible.
06:34I mean, if I had a boss like that, I'd certainly keep my mouth shut.
06:38An energy drink?
06:39Something.
06:39I have a call with the network in 10.
06:42Wish me luck.
06:43Yeah, good luck.
06:45We're all in shock, Detective.
06:47We've never had a significant animal attack on the show.
06:50Was Tuttle supplied with bear spray?
06:52No.
06:52All of our contestants are experienced outdoors people.
06:55Hunters, fishers, foragers.
06:57Nobody comes on Fortitude without extensive bushcraft experience.
07:00I have to admit, I've been watching.
07:02Oh, you're a fan.
07:04I'm not sure that's totally accurate, but I've seen enough to know that some of the contestants
07:08are pretty weak by the time they throw the towel in.
07:10In no shape to fight for their life.
07:12You're not suggesting that production is somehow responsible for this tragic accident?
07:16I'm not a lawyer, Miss Castle.
07:18I'm just looking into the man's death out of public interest.
07:21Okay, well, I can assure you all of our contestants signed waivers, so Mr. Tuttle participated at
07:25his own risk.
07:27Sloan, I hear the network wants us to film a tribute to go before the next episode.
07:31Ratings brought through the roof.
07:32Nico, this is Detective...
07:34Hudson, Rex and I have been looking into this big ratings boost of yours.
07:39Yes, um, horrible.
07:42Tragic.
07:43Yeah.
07:43So, you're continuing the competition, even with a killer bear on the loose?
07:47I'm sure you've heard the old saying, the show must go on.
07:49Speaking of which, Nico...
07:50I have to go shoot some social media clips about Tuttle's tragic loss.
07:56Uh, makeup!
07:58Is there anything else, Detective?
08:00Uh, yeah, Rex and I found an old ATV trail near Tuttle's site.
08:04Now, I see you have some all-terrain vehicles here.
08:06We use the trails for emergencies and to transport contestants when they drop out.
08:10Okay.
08:11Network's holding.
08:11I beg you, I have to take this.
08:13And now our final couple, Jim Tuttle and his wife, Miriam.
08:28Jim?
08:30I can't see you.
08:31Can you hear me?
08:32Miriam, just stand by.
08:35A killer bear on the Avalon.
08:41And Rex was tracking it.
08:42You were one brave dog.
08:43Yeah, but there was something odd about those tracks.
08:48Odd how?
08:48I don't know.
08:49It just seems strange how Rex suddenly lost the scent.
08:53Now, Sarah's back from the autopsy.
08:54He wants me down there ASAP.
08:56All right.
09:00You found something?
09:01Yeah.
09:02I thought it might be easier to explain with a little help from the tactical department.
09:05So, Tuttle's jugular was punctured, as I suspected.
09:08So, what was there to discover?
09:11Hair.
09:12Looking straight on.
09:14The edges of the wound are rough.
09:15Right?
09:16Torn?
09:17But?
09:17But a cross-section of the cup reveals that the deepest part is smooth.
09:24You see?
09:25Precise.
09:26You mean like a knife blade?
09:27Smooth.
09:27Exactly.
09:29So, the bear mulling obscured the actual cause of death.
09:31So, the bear didn't kill Tuttle?
09:33Nope.
09:36No, he was murdered.
09:37Just got off the phone with the studio that produces Fortitude.
09:53Filming's been suspended, pending the investigation.
09:56What about the last two contestants?
09:58Well, they're planning on staying at their campsites until the show resumes.
10:00They don't want to risk being disqualified.
10:02Do you know there's a bear and a murderer on the loose?
10:05People are willing to take a lot of risks for a million dollars.
10:07Jim Tuttle was stabbed and then his body was mauled by a bear.
10:14Yeah.
10:15Lucky the bear didn't make a meal of him.
10:17Sarah never would have found the knife wound.
10:19Guess the bear was scared off.
10:20Yeah.
10:22But by who?
10:23And presumably the murderer fled and the contestants are supposed to be entirely alone out there.
10:28No contact with crew or each other.
10:30And explain this.
10:32Tuttle's shirt?
10:33Yeah.
10:34Bloodied and shredded by bear claws, but look at the bright orange stain on the sleeve.
10:38Let's see.
10:39Yeah, you know what?
10:40It looks like that artificial cheese flavoring, you know, from nacho cheese puffs.
10:44It's more of the same in his stomach contents.
10:46Assuming the neon orange didn't come from Mother Nature.
10:49Somebody was sneaking Tuttle food.
10:51The same person who killed him.
10:55What's up, Rex?
10:56Nacho cheese fan, too.
10:58He's more of a liver bites kind of guy.
11:11What's he up to?
11:12What is it?
11:20Borax?
11:22Could this be on Tuttle's shirt?
11:24Borax is a laundry supplement used to brighten whites, not plaids.
11:27So you're a laundry expert now?
11:29Yeah, I like my t-shirts to pop.
11:31Sarah, could you test the shirt for Borax?
11:32Absolutely.
11:33Did you determine a time of death?
11:36Approximately an hour before the broadcast.
11:38I think Rex and I should see what else we can discover at the Fortitude site.
11:41I'll talk to Tuttle's wife and see if she knows who may have wanted to harm her husband.
11:44A million dollar prize is a good motive for murder.
11:47Millions in ratings could be, too.
11:48It took me a while to figure out hunting, but I bagged my first rabbit today.
12:03I know my wife will be proud.
12:04Okay, that's great, Keith.
12:05Now switch to Tuttle eating the stew.
12:07Preparing clips of the victim.
12:10For a tribute show, Detective, we're airing the best of our Tuttle footage since you've shut our production down.
12:15Well, I hope you don't mind taking a few moments out just to provide us with a list of everyone on your crew.
12:20You can't suspect any of us.
12:22We're all too busy to commit a murder.
12:24Time of death was one hour before broadcast.
12:26The campsite's just 20 minutes away.
12:28That's plenty of time for someone to get there and back.
12:30I stand behind every one of my people.
12:32I hired them all myself.
12:33They're all professionals.
12:37Are you sure that no one could have slipped out unnoticed, grabbed one of the ATVs?
12:41Anyone missing would have been noticed.
12:42We were scrambling to go live and having trouble with one of the satellite feeds.
12:46We only added the live cameras to the site a couple days ago.
12:49Trouble with which one?
12:50Tuttle's?
12:51It happens, right?
12:52YFTV's a nightmare.
12:53Couldn't get his camera up at all the hour before.
12:55Otherwise, we would have seen the body before broadcasting that grisly image.
12:58And possibly the murder.
13:00You think the signal could have been tampered with?
13:02It could have been interference, sun flares.
13:05I'm going to have Detective Mills check on that.
13:07But as long as those two contestants are still out there, keep their live feet up.
13:11And call me if you see anything suspicious, please.
13:14Will do.
13:15I do not like the idea of someone messing with my show.
13:18Well, I'm glad that you have your priorities straight.
13:21Miss Castle?
13:26Do you always have these available here?
13:32Coffee is my primary food group, but help yourself if you like.
13:39Good eyes, Rex.
13:41Or nose, I suppose.
13:43Hey, Sarah.
13:51Hey.
13:51I need your opinion on something.
13:52Sure, anything.
13:53So, I have been watching episodes of Fortitude for research.
13:57For research?
13:58Yes.
13:59And, I gotta say, I'm really into it.
14:02It's really inspiring.
14:05Okay.
14:06I read they have a new season coming out.
14:08Oh, where is this going?
14:10I'm going to try out for it.
14:12You?
14:13Yeah, I think it would be a great experience.
14:16Have you ever even camped out?
14:17I've glamped.
14:19But the bed was terrible.
14:21Jesse, these people are sometimes out there for about three months.
14:26You know what?
14:27I'll start small.
14:28Two weeks in gross morn.
14:29You want to come with me?
14:30No, I don't think so.
14:31Okay.
14:32It's a good talk.
14:33Okay.
14:34Papers?
14:35Yeah, just order.
14:38Jim was murdered?
14:40I'm sorry to have to tell you.
14:43Can you think of anyone who may have wanted to harm your husband?
14:48Anyone in his past?
14:51No.
14:52No one.
14:52Jim was a mild-mannered man.
14:55He had no enemies.
14:56And how are things between the two of you?
15:01Excuse me?
15:02I'm sorry, Mrs. Tuttle, but I have to ask.
15:06It's a homicide investigation.
15:09We were fine.
15:10I can't believe you'd even suggest.
15:15If anyone might have wanted him dead, it'd be one of the other contestants.
15:19Wait, you suspect Belfry or Grimes?
15:25Would it have been difficult to get from one site to another?
15:27No, with a million dollars on the line.
15:31And Jim was never going to give up.
15:32He was quiet, but stubborn at his core.
15:38He would have been the last man standing.
15:47Sorry for your loss.
15:53Glitch in a satellite feed seems pretty convenient, if you ask me.
15:56Well, someone may have interfered with it somehow.
15:57Which means they knew about the addition of the live cameras.
16:00Exactly.
16:01Must have been connected to the show somehow.
16:03I just interviewed Tuttle's wife.
16:05She seems to suspect one of the other contestants.
16:08Do you think it's possible one of them left their camp and got to Tuttle?
16:10I'm going to head out there right now, ask those very questions.
16:13And I've got some cheese puffs for Sarah to analyze.
16:15Well, she's interviewing some of the other contestants' spouses,
16:18seeing if they have any other insights.
16:20Look, you be careful out there, you two.
16:22Yeah, it might not have killed Tuttle, but there's still a bear roaming around.
16:24We've got each other's backs.
16:26Right, Rex?
16:27Yeah.
16:27You know.
16:28Bye.
16:30Not for you.
16:31Not for you.
16:50I hope you don't mind that I invited Lucy over at the same time, Dr. Trong.
16:55We've been really supporting each other through all this, even before Tuttle's death.
16:59I understand your husbands have been in the wilderness and out of contact for months now.
17:05I...
17:05It must be stressful.
17:07And now that the death has been deemed a homicide, I had no doubt my Zack could fight off a bear.
17:12He was literally hoping for a chance for a big game kill.
17:14Lucy, please.
17:15Janice, I know you and Perry are vegetarians.
17:17Vegans, actually.
17:19Regardless, Zack was ready to tackle anything to win this competition, but now with a murderer out there targeting contestants.
17:26You think Tuttle was murdered because he was on the show?
17:29Someone's jealous that our boys got further than they did.
17:32Or as a superfan gone haywire.
17:34I mean, it does happen, right?
17:35But we're not giving up.
17:37Zack and I plan on opening the hunting lodge we've always dreamed of with this prize money.
17:42Harry and I plan to spend hours teaching troubled youth vegan bushcraft techniques.
17:46It's his dream.
17:53Look, you're in that tree.
17:56Is that the satellite camera from the production?
17:58Yeah.
17:59They just wanted to leave it somewhere secure, hoping to go live again.
18:02Oh, I'm sure it will happen.
18:04Neither man will give up, even if it kills them.
18:08Oh, God.
18:12Hey, hey, hey.
18:16Get back.
18:17Get back.
18:18Perry Grimes?
18:19Uh-huh.
18:20I hope Rex here didn't startle you.
18:23I'm with the SJPD.
18:24Oh, yeah.
18:25You're here for the luck in the Tuttle?
18:27Yeah.
18:28Yeah.
18:29Production sent a note and said they want us to film a tribute or something.
18:33But I hope you know that I'm not going anywhere until they start shooting again and I win.
18:39I've been forewarned, but I do have some questions for you.
18:43Have you seen anyone else out here in the last few days?
18:45Um, yeah.
18:46It's been a blur.
18:48Uh, I did hear some, uh, yelling one morning.
18:52Coming from the east.
18:53Right.
18:54Yeah.
18:55Um, Tuttle's camp is to the east.
18:57Oh.
18:58Can you tell me anything else about this, uh, yelling?
19:00I couldn't really make out the words, but, uh, the vibe was definitely negative.
19:06I thought maybe just, you know, Tuttle was losing it.
19:09Did you ever try to reach his camp?
19:11No, no, no, no.
19:12It's against the rules.
19:14Well, I'm gonna get disqualified.
19:16Besides, you know, I barely have enough energy to forage these days.
19:21Yeah, you do seem pretty, uh, run down.
19:24I'll be fine.
19:25Mind over matter, spirit, command of the body.
19:29You know who would have the strength to reach Tuttle's camp, though, right?
19:34Zach Belfry.
19:35I mean, the man is built like an ox.
19:38Protein has its benefits.
19:40Oh, hey, thank you, buddy.
19:44Animals are the best, eh?
19:46Yeah, that's why I stick to nuts and berries.
19:54What's up, Rex?
19:56Yeah, that's, uh, that's a military plane.
19:59It hurts.
20:00Comes by every few days.
20:01Oh, that's me, too, buddy.
20:14Hello?
20:15Zach Belfry?
20:17Hello?
20:20What is it, Rex?
20:21What is it, Rex?
20:31Foot trap.
20:32Thanks for the tip.
20:51Belfry!
20:52S-J-P-D!
20:53Don't move!
20:54Show me your badge.
20:58What?
20:59How?
21:00I'm sorry again about the attack and all. You can't be too careful with the murder running loose out here.
21:21You could always just leave.
21:23Over my dead body.
21:26There's no I ain't quit.
21:28I'm not sure that's how that saying goes.
21:31Rabbit jerky?
21:33Snared and dried myself.
21:34I got grouse, too, if you prefer that.
21:36I think I'll pass.
21:37Thanks.
21:42You know, you seem to be doing pretty well out here, Mr. Belfry.
21:45I'm pretty good at the hunting and such. Just waiting it out now.
21:51Loneliness is the worst part. I miss my missus.
21:55I'm gonna have to take out another contestant.
21:57You know, try to hurry things along.
22:00I'm a man of honor, so I'll pretend you didn't even ask such a thing.
22:03You know, Grimes says that, uh, he heard yelling coming from Tuttle's camp one morning.
22:09You, uh, know anything about that?
22:12Can't say I do. Never heard anything but the coyotes myself.
22:15But, uh, surprised to hear that Grimes is still in the game.
22:19Maybe the lack of protein is making that man confused, mistaking his yips for yaps.
22:26Do you mind?
22:28Go ahead.
22:36Fine animal.
22:37You'd make a great guard dog at the lodge we're gonna buy with the prize money.
22:41Rex already has the job. He's, uh, he's pretty good at that one, too.
22:54Okay. Well, just keep me posted. I'll get it logged in.
22:57So, what do we have so far?
22:59I analyzed the cheese puffs we found at the Fortitude base camp.
23:02They were matched to the orange powder found on Tuttle's sleeve and in his stomach contents.
23:05But it's a very popular brand.
23:07Grimes claims to have heard someone at Tuttle's camp one morning.
23:10It could be the person supplying him with the puffs.
23:12Or hallucination.
23:14Starvation can lead to psychotic incidents.
23:16Any luck finding borax on Tuttle's shirt?
23:18Trace amounts.
23:19But the fur we found on the tree is definitely bear, so I'm gonna test it for borax as well.
23:23I have a question.
23:24Do bears do laundry in the woods?
23:26Well, Rex alerted for a reason. I'm just trying to find what he's already smelled.
23:34Yeah, we're still no closer to narrowing in on a single suspect.
23:37A million dollars on the line and huge ratings.
23:40Everyone has motive, but no one has clear opportunity.
23:43Yeah, the spouses were at home and ready to broadcast live when the murder happened.
23:47Yeah, the crew and the other contestants, too.
23:50I'm looking into the satellite glitch.
23:52Nothing concrete, but a signal blocker's looking more and more likely.
23:55Could be a strong signal from an FM band or radar.
23:58You need special skills for that.
24:00And proximity.
24:01Your surviving contestant's spouses think the murder could be a past contestant or a superfan.
24:05Oh, maybe we should look into this.
24:06I got Keith from production to send me any unused Jim Tuttle footage that was shot but never aired, and we found this. Thank you, Keith.
24:12What are you doing here? This is my territory. You don't belong here!
24:17What are you doing, man?
24:18Who's that yelling Tuttle?
24:20Is that Harvey Phelps?
24:21Yeah. Who's Harvey Phelps?
24:24He's a well-known hermit. He's been living in the wilds of Newfoundland for decades.
24:28Yeah, wildlife officers have run off a number of his campsites over the years, but he just moves and sets up again. He refuses to be housed.
24:34Do we have his location? I should probably go speak with him.
24:37Yeah, people are tracking him online. I'll send you the coordinates.
24:39He doesn't seem like the kind of man who'd know how to jam a satellite signal or even have access to the equipment.
24:44Yeah, he could have heard something, seen something, been living out in the wild that long, and who knows what he's capable of.
25:00Who goes there? Show yourself! I don't need any do-gooders showing up here today.
25:06SJPD, Mr. Phelps, I just want to ask a few questions.
25:09Ah, cops. Even better.
25:14Okay. Thanks for the, uh, the drink. We appreciate it after the hike in.
25:18You must be pretty eager to talk to me, to track me down out here.
25:22Let me guess. You found my location online.
25:25I wanted to talk to you about an encounter that you may have had with a man named Tuttle.
25:30Oh, the contestant guy. He came to a bad end, I heard. A radio with a hand crank.
25:37Oh, I, uh, didn't think you'd have any technology out here.
25:41Caved in a while back. Caved to junk food, too.
25:44Can I ask where you, uh, where you got these, Mr. Phelps?
25:49Ah, call me Harvey. I never met a mister I ever liked.
25:53And I got it from this producer lady. Her name sounded like something from a soap opera.
25:58Sloan Castle. Yes, that's the one.
26:01Why would Miss Castle be giving you snacks?
26:03Well, I'm not proud of it.
26:05But I went over to Tuttle's one day, making a fuss, knowing that they'd offer me some stuff to cut it out.
26:12So you weren't really angry with Tuttle for intruding on your territory?
26:15Oh, no, no, no, no. Tuttle's a great guy. We hung out a few times. I shared some snacks with him.
26:21The guy was hungry, but he was desperate to win. And we could both use the company, you know.
26:27Did Tuttle ever mention spotting a bear?
26:29Oh. There's no bears around here. There's no tracks. There's no scat. There's no cloud marks on trees.
26:36Tuttle mentioned a lot of things, but bears wasn't one of them.
26:40So what did you talk about?
26:42I don't know if I should say.
26:44We were trying to find his murderer, Harvey. I mean, any information could be helpful.
26:49Well, the guy said he thought his wife might be stepping out on him. Blamed himself for spending so much time in the woods.
26:56So then he decided to leave her for another three months?
26:59Well, he didn't think it'd be that long.
27:01Then he figured, well, a million bucks might help win her back.
27:06Hmm.
27:09What are you doing out here, Miriam Tuttle?
27:12Strange place to drive to in the middle of a work day.
27:18Well, maybe she just likes the view.
27:26Yeah, like this guy.
27:46Or maybe not.
27:50Come on, Max.
27:55You got it, man. This doesn't look good for you.
28:14You have to blame me, detective.
28:16I loved my husband, but he left me alone over and over again to head off into the woods.
28:21And then he doubled down by entering the 4-2 competition.
28:25He said it was for me.
28:27For us, but there he was.
28:30Alone again.
28:32So how did you meet Sammy?
28:34He's a food delivery guy.
28:37Just started ordering more and more.
28:40Maybe he wants to cook for one.
28:43And then we just...
28:45You have to believe me. I would have ended things when Jim came home.
28:49Sammy's just a distraction.
28:54It was with all my heart. None of this had ever happened.
28:57I questioned Sammy as well. He said he was working the day of Tuttle's murder.
29:07Um, the delivery company backed him up, sent over his GPS records to confirm.
29:11So was Harvey Phelps cleared?
29:13The woodsman has no alibi, but I don't see much motive.
29:15I mean, he admitted that the confrontation with Tuttle was to squeeze the production company into giving him more free food.
29:20I mean, I wouldn't consider Cheese Puffs food, but would you?
29:23Work. Good. I was hoping to find you and Rex here.
29:27What have you got?
29:28Well, it turns out maybe bears do do their laundry in the woods.
29:31Sorry, what's that?
29:32The bear fur we found on the tree tested positive for borax.
29:35So Rex was right, as always.
29:39But wouldn't borax make more sense on a polar bear?
29:42White or white, you know?
29:45Maybe there's a better explanation for borax being on bear fur?
29:48Perhaps, since borax is also used in the taxidermy process.
29:53Here you go.
30:01Okay, so what is the takeaway from all this?
30:04Well, someone stabbed Tuttle, but then used a taxidermy bear claw to make it look like it was a mauling.
30:09What about the bear prints on the ATV trail? Was it used for that as well?
30:11Yeah, and then the fur would have ended up on the tree nearby.
30:15That would explain the bear's low weight and the fact that neither Wildlife Control or Harvey had seen any live bear action in the area.
30:21So someone's trying to cover their tracks.
30:23I mean, literally.
30:25But who?
30:27Jesse, can you bring up the live feed of Lucy Belfry from the broadcast?
30:31Yeah, I'm on it.
30:33Let's see.
30:34Okay, well, there's taxidermy animals in the background, access to the weapon and motive.
30:44But this live stream has got to be a rock-solid alibi. Lucy's house is three hours away from Tuttle's site.
30:49Working together with her husband, maybe?
30:52Smuggle the bear claws and the equipment into him?
30:55Yeah, let's see what Belfry has to say about that.
30:58Take Rex to the site, see if he can find signs of borax.
31:01And I'll do.
31:03Rex!
31:13Joe, I was looking at the satellite feed and one of the cameras at Belfry site went down again, just like before Tuttle's murder.
31:24Is that smoke, Rex?
31:31Plus, who's eyes, the people?
31:40.
31:41Who?
31:43.
31:44.
31:51.
31:52.
31:53.
31:54.
31:55.
31:56.
31:57.
31:58Uh...
32:00Joe.
32:02Mark, you and Rex okay?
32:04Yeah, but Belfry's in rough shape.
32:06We need AMS and forensics out here right away.
32:08Looks like another murder attempt.
32:16Belfry's recovering at the hospital?
32:18Yeah, his wife is with him.
32:20Says he was asleep when the pine-bough roof
32:22was suddenly smoldering.
32:24Nearly asphyxiated him.
32:26Well, it could have been the sparks from his fire.
32:28Not possible, but his campfire
32:30was only smoking when Rex and I arrived.
32:32Guys, hey, so I have something.
32:34Uniforms, they searched the Belfry house,
32:36but none of the taxidermy there matched the bear prints left at the crime scene.
32:38But?
32:40But a local taxidermy shop was broken into
32:42just about a week ago.
32:44They stole a stuffed bear?
32:46Even better. Bear claws.
32:48And the culprit left behind a single
32:50glove-sized small pleather.
32:52Who would wear a fake leather glove to rob a taxidermy shop?
32:58A vegan, maybe?
33:00Grimes?
33:02The contestant who was starving on mushrooms and berries?
33:04Uh, no. I was thinking his wife.
33:10Grimes was struggling.
33:12The million dollar prize was slipping away.
33:14So the only way to win was to take out her husband's competition?
33:16First huddle, then Belfry?
33:18Janice and Belfry's wife became close,
33:20so Janice would have known about the Belfry's taxidermy collection.
33:24So if the stage bear attack failed to disguise the murder,
33:26then all suspicion would fall on Lucy.
33:28Wait, wait, hold on.
33:30But how did Janice jam this satellite signal?
33:32She was miles away during the murder.
33:34Or was she? Play the clip through?
33:36Yeah.
33:38Oh, Belfry, are you okay?
33:40You look so weak.
33:42I'm hanging in there. No worries.
33:44Is there any more footage before Janice went live?
33:47Uh, let me check.
34:00What's up with Rex?
34:01Yeah, I did that once before Grimes' campsite.
34:03Wait, hold on.
34:04Is that a plane?
34:06Grimes said a military plane flew over regularly.
34:08You know, I can identify the plane based on the sound of the engine.
34:11One second.
34:14Okay, it's a Boeing C-17 Globemaster III used to transport military.
34:19Apparently there is a training exercise on the island.
34:22Find the flight path.
34:24Lay it overtop the fortitude map.
34:29It's right over the campsites.
34:31Now show me Janice's house.
34:41That's nowhere near the backyard where she was shot live.
34:43There's no way the engine sound could travel that far.
34:45No, there isn't.
34:46Because she wasn't in her backyard.
34:48She had to be close enough to Tuttle's campsite
34:50so she could jam the signal and murder him.
34:52Jesse, is there any way to prove that this footage was altered?
34:54With time, but whoever did this has mad skills.
34:57But do we have time?
34:58Because if she's a killer, she's a definite flight risk.
35:00Yeah, I think I know a faster way.
35:02Jesse, dig up Janice's past.
35:04See how she might have found out how to do all this.
35:06And send me the schedule of that cargo plane to the second.
35:08Where you had to talk to a reality TV producer?
35:11I got a pitch on how to catch a killer live on television.
35:24And you're sure you can pull this off?
35:26Of course not. It's live TV, but I'll do what I can.
35:28No one messes with Fortisuit, Newfoundland.
35:32Okay, people, we're going live in three, two, one.
35:36Tonight, we're bringing you a very special edition of Fortitude.
35:43You've already been watching our tribute to Jim Tuttle.
35:46But now, once again, we're coming to you live.
35:50Okay, get camera B hot and ready, camera C in position.
35:53Copy that.
35:54Because following the tragic medical ejection of Zach Belfry,
35:59it's time to award our final contestants
36:04one million dollars.
36:07Get Janice in position, but make sure she's hidden.
36:10Joe, tell me you got something solid on Janice.
36:13Jesse found some info on Janice's past.
36:15We're sending a photo your way.
36:20Perry Grimes has no idea that he's won.
36:23Here he comes now, thinking he's being pulled from the game.
36:26Move in on Grimes?
36:28No, no, no, no, no, I'm fine, I'm fine, I'm fine.
36:30I wanna, I wanna stay in the game.
36:33You think Perry's an eye too?
36:35I doubt it, Mark.
36:36Yeah, found a one-way ticket to the Cayman Islands
36:38booked under Janice's name.
36:40First class, solo, and she ordered the steak.
36:42Not very vegan.
36:43Got it.
36:46Must have been tough on you out there.
36:48Yeah, man, I, you know, I did my best.
36:51I did it for my wife and for the kids too.
36:53We want to help.
36:54Perry.
36:55Yeah.
36:56I have a surprise for you.
36:58Look!
36:59It's here!
37:00Janice!
37:01Are you, oh my God!
37:02You won!
37:03You did it!
37:04Okay, props.
37:05Have the giant check on standby.
37:07We won!
37:09We won!
37:10Wait a minute, that cop and the dog just walked into Janice's shot.
37:13Just go with it, go!
37:15Oh my God!
37:16Yeah!
37:17Congratulations!
37:18Yeah!
37:19But, uh, what are the, what are the cops doing here?
37:23Yeah, I hate to bring it to you, Perry, but, uh, Janice Grimes, you're under arrest for the murder of Jim Tuttle and the attempted murder of Zach Belfry.
37:30What are you talking about?
37:31What, what, what is, what are they talking about?
37:34This is insane!
37:35Are we, is this, are we still, is this in the script?
37:38Keep rolling.
37:39Every camera, every angle.
37:40Copy that.
37:41We know about the taxidermy robbery.
37:44We know about the Cayman Islands and now we know about your time in the U.S. Army Reserve before you moved to Newfoundland.
37:51She wasn't in the Army, she's, she's a pacifist.
37:54They got the wrong person.
37:56Yeah, I don't think so, Perry.
37:58Your wife is trained in the communications division.
38:00Knows how to scramble satellite signals.
38:02Set up green screens to mask her true location because you were not in your backyard during the live broadcast.
38:08You were out here murdering Tuttle.
38:10Then you came back to try and finish off Belfry so you could take the money and run.
38:17You killed a man?
38:19And then you were gonna leave me?
38:21What, what, what happened to living off the land, Janie?
38:26You know, it's ironic, Janice, because it was the military who gave you away, thanks to Rex and his sensitive hearing.
38:36Oh, look at that.
38:37Looks like they are right on time again.
38:40You want to wait for my tech team to prove that your footage was altered or you just want to confess now?
38:44One camera on the dog, one on the cop, one on Janice.
38:51Rex, let's go.
38:54Go, go, go. Keep rolling. Go with it.
38:59Go, go, go, go. Keep rolling. Go with it.
39:01Can you get us?
39:29Well, you guys could've helped stop her, you know.
39:32No, this is raiding skulls.
39:35Good job, Rex.
39:38Don't cut.
39:44Wow, you guys are gonna be famous.
39:46No, thank you.
39:48Just glad that Sloane went along with the ploy, otherwise Janice could've got wind we were on to her and fled.
39:53Nah, we would've caught with her eventually.
39:55Also, by closer examination, it turns out that there was green screen bleed on the edges of her image.
40:00And we found the stolen bear claws in a neighbor's garbage bin.
40:03Exact match to the ones Rex tracked from Grimes' site.
40:06Right, Janice certainly is resourceful.
40:08I wonder if she'll have the fortitude to live through her long prison sentence.
40:12Please don't encourage him.
40:14Meanwhile, Grimes is recovering in hospital.
40:17Malnutrition, dehydration, and a broken heart.
40:20Janice said she couldn't take their restricted lifestyle anymore.
40:23Yeah, well, living rough isn't for everybody.
40:25But there were other ways for her to leave her husband and start a new life.
40:29So, I hear the show is awarding both the surviving contestants and Tuttle's widow with a million dollars' age?
40:35That's the least they could do for the ratings this crap forum.
40:37They've been renewed for another five seasons.
40:39Asked if Rex and I wanted to be contestants on their next show.
40:42Oh.
40:43Oh.
40:44Okay.
40:45Rex, you ready for your close-up?
40:47I think in the 90s of her little Crap, the Topics, the Capitals, the Ipsau shirt, the Red钱, what do you think of now of now?
40:50What do you think of now, The League of Choice I tickets back at school?
40:51I always have to ask for these big games.
40:52fucks, what's more of how you look at now?
40:53jobs are feel diamonds are a different thing?
40:58Time flies for drink, the night.
40:59That's not a record of the drugs you can**
41:00That's my boy.
41:02My防 ос RPRACE girls are the best way to ask staff.
41:06It's totally possible
