00:00Hey, Mark.
00:05Hey, Jesse.
00:06How was Halifax?
00:07Good.
00:08Nice to see some old friends, some great meals.
00:12Funny how this place feels more like home now, though.
00:14You know what? The rock will grow on you.
00:16Yeah.
00:18So.
00:20How'd it go?
00:21Good.
00:22Yeah, she slotted me in between a power lunch and writing a brief for a court date.
00:26And then she told me she still loves me.
00:28So I guess you could say it's still complicated.
00:31Yeah, that sounds like the definition of complicated.
00:36Yeah.
00:37So where's everybody?
00:38Joe's at a conference. Sarah took Rex for the weekend.
00:41Oh, she told me she was going to be here 20 minutes ago.
00:44I got her coffee and donuts.
00:45It's a little cold.
00:48Detective Mills.
00:51Uh-huh.
00:53Hmm.
00:56Where'd you find it?
00:58Okay, are forensics on the scene?
01:03Cameras? Any cameras?
01:05Okay.
01:05You get back to me with anything you find.
01:09What's going on?
01:11The uniform found Sarah's car abandoned.
01:13Her cell phone and her father were in the front seat.
01:15What about Rex?
01:16No Rex, no Sarah.
01:18It's weird.
01:18She just wouldn't walk off like that.
01:20Where the hell did they go?
01:21Oh.

01:39Where's Rex?
01:40He's right beside you, Sarah.
01:43Oh.
01:46He's fine.
01:47We had to convince him to let us take you.
01:51500 micrograms of metatomidine.
01:54Who are you?
02:04Well, if it isn't Hudson's girlfriend.
02:07Hey, Hudson.
02:08We've got a friend of yours with us.
02:10It's a trap.
02:10Stay away.
02:11Well, that's not what we rehearsed.
02:14Say goodbye to your little friend and Ken.
02:15Ten.
02:16Nine.
02:17Eight.
02:18I'm unarmed.
02:19Easy.
02:20My God.
02:25What do you want from us?
02:26It's quite simple, really.
02:28I have something very important I want to do.
02:31And you and Wonder Dog just became my partners in crime.
02:34Hmm.
02:35Okay, there she is.
03:03She came by Mary Meeting Road.
03:11They're cops?
03:16Wait a minute. No, no, no, no. They shot Rex.
03:19Look closer. It's a dart gun.
03:22Okay.
03:24You're right.
03:30Wait a minute, that cop.
03:33Mankiewicz.
03:42Okay, I'll bite. What's a Mankiewicz?
03:44He ran a criminal underground ring in St. John's for years.
03:47He's supposed to be locked up in Ontario, I think.
03:50Oh, jeez. Looks like Mankiewicz broke out of Kingston two days ago.
03:54I've got to put out an APB. Command, it's Detective Jesse Mills. I need to put out an all-points bulletin on escaped convict Rupert Mankiewicz. You're going to want to let Ontario know there are escaped prisoners here in St. John's.
04:05Ontario Air Unit 514, return to base.
04:08Oh, you got him?
04:09Nope. Mankiewicz was just spotted in St. John's.
04:11What?
04:12Ontario's most wanted has just become Newfoundland's most wanted.
04:13Oh, man.
04:14Bring it home.
04:15Copy that.
04:16Returning home.
04:17And it gets worse.
04:18He's kidnapped two SJPD officers, and one of them's a canine.
04:21Oh, seriously?
04:22Copy that.
04:23Copy that.
04:24Copy that.
04:25Copy that.
04:26Copy that.
04:27Copy that.
04:28St. John's Dispatch Central, we're scrambling everything we've got. Send your identifiers now.
04:33He's in a police car. Stolen a replica. Both he and his accomplice are in uniforms, sending images from the same pin location.
04:44Assume Mankiewicz is armed and dangerous. Checkpoints for all highways out of the city.
04:49We have permission to spot check boats trying to exit the harbor.
04:54Mankiewicz is out there. Help us find us.
04:57Yeah, I've seen this movie. I don't like how it ends.
05:02I know we gotta do this right, but every bone in my body wants to join them out there finding him.
05:07Yeah.
05:11Did you say he came through here?
05:13When we met him, he was on trial for trafficking.
05:16Charlie got wind that Mankiewicz was extorting his former protege from prison.
05:25I'm not interested in anything you're selling.
05:27I know Boonstra's a hitman.
05:30A lot of people know that. The right people, at least.
05:33Yeah.
05:35And I also know that you abducted his daughter as incentive for him to do a hit for you.
05:39I don't know anything about that.
05:48But what I do know, that in the ten years he was with me, no matter what task I threw at him, he never once failed to deliver on the assignment. Not once. He's that good.
05:58He kidnapped a hitman's daughter? That's a dangerous game to play. He used the same strategy there. That's how he broke out. His people took a guard's kids in order to force him to aid in the escape.
06:07Not afraid to hurt people. No, he's not afraid to hurt people. No, he's not. I have personal experience.
06:14To get his daughter back, the hitman was supposed to kill a witness set to testify against Mankiewicz.
06:20My job...
06:35Pick up, pick up, pick up.
06:37To reach her security detail and stop her from coming out.
06:39No, no, no. No, no, no, no! Get back!
06:43coming out no no no no no no get back get inside
06:56you were shot i was wearing a vest but it still took me down for a week
06:59okay so who is mankowitz wow let's see literally dozens of priors
07:05murder trafficking counterfeiting no i mean who is he what's mankowitz's mo how does he operate
07:12because they may never find him in the streets but if we know how he works we can predict what
07:17he might do next once we figure out what he's after okay okay how does he operate
07:27i mean with megawitz he could be standing right in front of you
07:32you would have no idea what he was up to like a couple years back around the time
07:37we made our biggest counterfeit operation bust
07:44mankowitz was transferred to our station because his life was being threatened in prison
07:50he's hard to read when you think you're looking at someone who's defeated and caged he's really
07:56more like a spider motionless at the center of his web of vulnerable people he's made into henchmen
08:02waiting for the signal to bite
08:10we need medical attention in here
08:18okay easy
08:24your cell didn't open on its own somebody had to disable the security cameras how many people do
08:28you have working for you on the inside enough to get the job done detective what'd you think
08:33i was doing in jail twiddling my thumbs please exit in an orderly fashion this won't take long
08:39but we need everybody out so that's what you're up to a gas leak how very oceans 11 of you
08:48you're quick it was a nice move yourself beaten up so you can put a victim card for a transfer
08:53when you find out about the bus from your informants and just put yourself right where you need it to be
09:01you manipulated all those moving parts from within a high security environment wow
09:08what are you doing here whatever it is it's not for a walk down memory lane i mean smart play would
09:12be to disappear why come back to st john's where you're so well known and why take sarah and her ex
09:28what are you doing with all of this
09:32i've waited six years for this moment sarah you can wait a few more minutes to find out okay
09:37i just want to treasure this moment where i finally get to work with rex
09:49ever since our last meeting rex i realized i've been relying too much on humans for help
09:56detective you know you might not be able to help but i got a feeling that your dog can
10:04what do you feed him to make his coat so shiny it's okay buddy what do you have planned mac what's
10:10today we're going to learn about secrets together if i leave my money with you
10:15then all my secrets are revealed that would make me sad but rex's nose here is going to lead me to my
10:22money because that's what friends do why are you talking like that you sound like a kindergarten teacher
10:27well you see i've done my research and i know that aggressive tones might agitate rex here huh
10:36isn't that right buddy
10:40how's that research working out for you i've done research about dogs and their handlers in the
10:45military but rex was at a whole other level i was just getting my first glimpse that rex has a sixth
10:52sense about him something sharper than his nose which is an amazing nose finding the rest of the
10:59counterfeit should be nothing for a magnificent beast like rex here okay
11:07you really are impressive good boy rex it became instantly clear to me that your talents were being
11:21wasted good boy getting thrown away by others so i'm taking your dog with me
11:27you see he's the missing piece to perfecting my counterfeit business because if i can fool rex
11:35i can fool anybody and he just might make it out of here alive
11:41go on pal it's okay you know what to do
11:48good boy rex good boy
11:50hey you have to shoot the man but save that dog i knew i had to figure you out
12:04but i didn't have enough time back then did i
12:06go ahead and gloat you earned it but imagine had another world we could have been friends maybe
12:19even partners we'd have made a pretty good team let me scratch you behind the ears one last time go
12:25wasn't that bad was it rex hey what
12:29don't worry i'm already working on it i promise you one day you will be mine rex
12:38i told you before we were gonna be partners and i meant it
12:42you're gonna love being a bad guy it's way more fun
12:46detective robertson they're calling for a seven block sweep around where the officers were abducted
12:59when you're done in there clearing the building you can hand it off you two have had a long day
13:04no we'll keep going give us what you got bijou trained with rex captain this is kind of personal for us
13:09okay i've ordered a list of names of anyone that's called or visited manquets in the past few weeks
13:21whoever helped him take sarah and rex was likely in touch with him that sounds good
13:26but until we get a lead from the streets is there anything more you can tell me about
13:29you know how his brain works well he's not just smart he researches every crime meticulously
13:37and runs hot and cold but mostly cold even when things go wrong
13:42he can turn in a flash but just like that he's back cold as ice where is evelyn
13:51you know what i'm gonna do when i get out of here i'm gonna go have a steak at edwards you been
13:57tell me where evelyn is you know what else i'm gonna do when i get out of here
14:00i'm gonna take a look into you a little bit you're a real interesting fella
14:11so he threatened charlie so he's fueled by revenge could you put together a list of people
14:16he had a grudge against cops all partners rivals yeah i'm on it
14:26well hey buddy let's get this party started
14:31you wanted an explanation well here it comes
14:44i spent a lot of time in the prison library reading up on the sjpd and this magnificent beast
14:53articles news reports social media videos i came to truly respect rex here he's an athlete he's
15:05fearless he's brilliant and he's just the type of partner i need to do what i have to do
15:12he wouldn't follow your orders no but he will with you guiding him right
15:20so back to the story the last time i was put away i figured one of my people had squealed
15:27so i went through them process of elimination you might say
15:33but in the end i didn't think i got the right one
15:37so i kept digging turns out the trader was a partner a man i trusted
15:46bill sparks pull him up bill sparks financed my entire operation but it turns out he got picked up
15:56on another deal sold me down the river to save his hide so you're gonna kill him me no
16:02what do you got i just got word from the prison in ontario mankowitz had four visitors in the past
16:21two months steven schultz thomas reed curtis murray and roman cognac still working through the list
16:28is there a pattern to who mankowitz will work with yeah people like the hitman who shot me charlie
16:38got his backstory when he was least expected to hear it i saw you at my place i know you're looking
16:46for me but i need you to back off i can't do that loonstra you chose this life i was young and stupid
16:55and angry when they brought me in from the street by mankowitz i hated it then it escalated mankowitz he
17:04kept pushing for more and more yeah and if i told him no he just reminded me that i owed him and that he could
17:12end me so he gets them when they're green and impressionable
17:21what about this young curtis murray let me see the visit was two months ago graduated from computer
17:27studies wait a minute i think we just hit the jackpot his brother was one of mankowitz's soldiers
17:35very well mankowitz has obviously gotten to him as well there has to be a reason mankowitz specifically
17:42wants curtis what's he done with his computer studies degree well he worked contracts at a
17:50number of high-tech security companies see if you can find out what systems he's worked on and where
17:56you think we're dealing with a heist mankowitz could do a heist anywhere i think there still has
18:01to be a reason why he came back here and why he needs sarah and rex wait a minute i found a phone
18:06under curtis's name tracking it now if we're lucky we find curtis we find sarah and rex
18:17hey we're not gonna let them do this okay we're not gonna let them
18:20make you a criminal you're not some kind of soldier who just follows orders and just does
18:26what he's told am i right rex that's yours well you can't come with me today so stay home and be good
18:37oh rex
18:43hey hey what's wrong i was talking about when we told you to stay at home and you did the right thing
18:50hmm by knowing you had to go out
19:20you very single-mindedly went out got the evidence you proved a murder nobody would have even known
19:38about
19:41because you listened to your gut not to us you always do the right thing in the end
19:46okay they're gonna take the breaks at the right time look behind me this long ignore where the
19:52guards should be follow the man you see that right there go
20:03look see there he's taking a smoke break yeah nope he's already heading back in so
20:09okay okay it's only another 10 minutes until the ship changes really all right we good to go all
20:15systems are operational wow look what we have here this is for rex state-of-the-art curtis went all
20:24out on this there's a camera a microphone and a bone conductive headset back to work we want to be with
20:31rex every step of the way as you can see across the street from us this sparks fish packing you
20:39remember billy sparks was the guy that ratted me out but he used one of his underlings to do the
20:44dirty work and took me a minute to figure that out but now billy knows i'm out and billy knows he's the
20:49next name on my list so he's up to security good company too but curtis here did some time in the
20:56operation was able to access the layout the entire system so we're going to go in there and send billy
21:04a little message so you expect rex to just sneak in there and attack him rex is going to deliver a
21:11package 500 grams of c4 billy's about to have a really bad day at work
21:22and if i won't help you turn rex into a killer
21:31you know i thought you'd ask that so i saved a couple grams of the c4
21:38and it's here on rex's collar if rex does what i want him to do we're all going home in a couple hours
21:46what if it doesn't work out
21:47let's just see what happens in the next two hours okay
21:56thanks
21:57sapd air unit 500 tip called in from shahe heights was a false lead
22:09marine unit 178 we've also been fielding false tips for the last couple of hours
22:14we're definitely being played yeah we've been chasing a lot of those
22:18okay
22:23hey anything oh i checked out curtis's apartment it was cleaned out
22:27anchovitz knew we'd id curtis he just wasted an hour of our time well i got a fix on curtis's phone
22:32but it just it doesn't make any sense okay here's the location where sarah and rex were kidnapped
22:37now the route goes along cornwall then up columbus but then it starts meandering
22:42it was stopping and moving at irregular intervals until it finally just stopped
22:46i've sent two patrols there who have clear eyes on the street but nobody matches curtis well he knew we'd be
22:52on to curtis and the phone he dumped it in another vehicle something that would be on the move to
22:56keep us busy so what's our next move well any opening manquets gives us is designed to waste our
23:01time we can't play his game did you dig up a list of enemies nobody stands out as having a beef that
23:06he'd come back to kill for nobody we know about but i think figuring that out is how we get our partners
23:12back okay so this whole area here does exactly what the sign says processes over a ton of day
23:22but over here well this is where the action is sparks is private offices protected by guards and alarms
23:30normally it would take an army to get through but well you got rex here but first we have to get past
23:36the perimeter guards but that shouldn't be a problem for you buddy right stealth and surveillance that's
23:55uh huh you can be a ghost when you want to be
24:14right boy so now once we get in past the guard station and our next challenge is the corridor
24:19this is where it gets interesting this is where we're going to run into the laser security system
24:23imagine how happy i was to read that rex has been through something like this before
24:27do you remember that one buddy how do you know all this prison library baby policemen's national
24:34digest april five years ago our man is famous it's the identical laser system used by m and b
24:42armed and impenetrable to anyone in theory the smartest minds and tripwire alarms up against you
24:51i gotta confess i would have made the same mistake they did but i did not know dogs sense infrared lasers
25:03i can imagine how a dog ducks under a horizontal beam but i'd love to know how you beat the diagonals
25:09should have been impossible but you did it partner you did it
25:18okay but once inside we've got to get to the vent on the wall adjoining the offices you've done this
25:30before i read about a case where you guys had to get inside a sealed lab at cooper weiss
25:36sealed of course except for a way through the vents a hidden route that's the kind of thing rex knows
25:45how to use wait no hold on no rex didn't just know how to use vents that was a dangerous operation
25:53he had to train for that all right tell me how they prepared my boy rex here the first time well
26:01first of all they were off-site so they had to improvise we got three lengths of carpet to exactly
26:07match the lengths of the venting system leading to the lab he needs to associate this precise distance
26:12with crawling low good job that's a bit better good job the next one is the fork in the road so you got to
26:16get him to go down and to the left yeah go to your left buddy crawl up good now get him to do it again
26:22hey buddy stay stay buddy now crawl ready yeah focus boy come on you've reached the fork in the
26:29road now we're gonna go left here here left left almost we need to go left get on good crawl come on
26:37crawl go that's a bit better because it's test time people we'll see if rex can choose left on his own
26:47this is the part where there's a choice to make
26:52come on yeah yeah you did all right yeah you had to train for it it wasn't easy for him either
27:01but nothing worth doing ever is don't worry son it's just like the last time you go straight
27:07and you turn to the right so now we're outside of sparks's office rex drops the package gets to the
27:15exit and we're away you don't need to do this i mean you just run
27:23sarah
27:26it's the principle of the thing you know you let people who get the best of you continue living
27:33well it sends a bad message then everyone thinks they can take a shot at you
27:38i only wish i could have taught charlie that before he died
27:52nope to be continued
27:55your eyes on the guy with the dark hair come on boss yeah tell me if he checks in with his team
28:04leader
28:04you got it
28:06big and the rain
28:08boots on the ground say the phone in question was taped under the truck
28:13your hunch was right about curtis's phone a uniform unit found it in a landscaper's truck
28:18so we know where they aren't i'll bet that landscaper drives this route every wednesday
28:25maybe mankowitz chose that truck in that route for a reason
28:29to lead us in a different direction from where he took sarah and rex it's worth a shot
28:33yeah look they were abducted in mount pearl the landscaper's route winds consistently northeast
28:39is there anyone in mankowitz's enemy list who's located southwest of where they were taken
28:43well we'll look into it yeah look to see if any potential targets coincide with companies where
28:49curtis may have worked in the last few months i suspect he knows we're after him and he doesn't
28:54have long that means sarah and rex might not have much time either
28:58hey we've been in tough situations before right when you're stuck but you have to hold back
29:16remember we were the ones who had to wait it out
29:24everybody hold on
29:28i don't know how we were all breathing all of us hurt and there was no way we could have gotten out
29:34of there we're stuck you were our last hope guys there's no cell service go go get help
29:58hey there boy are you lost if you didn't come through rex i wouldn't have made it sarah come on
30:22wake up wake up wake up wake up please
30:26rex
30:27hey oh i'm so happy to see you
30:37you made it all by yourself ah you're my hero rex but now is not the time for an attack

31:28sarah aren't you proud of our boy going off on his big adventure how proud are you
31:50all right let's get the headset come on boss
31:52i have nothing here i have looked through mankowitz's enemy list rival organizations
32:01rogue players people who moved in after he went away no one operates in that direction
32:06how about his friends then where are you going with this the witness in the trial that brought him
32:12down rose moore yeah the file says that she was a low-level money washer i mean she shouldn't
32:17had access to the inner workings of mankowitz's operation you think someone else gave her that
32:21information someone who might profit for mankowitz going away
32:37can you hear me
32:38correct can you hear me
32:49yeah okay okay keep going the big doors by the truck

35:42the different security apparatus is curtis knows they're like seven or eight
35:50mm-hmm jesse
35:52uh has rex got past security systems sure yeah cross-reference the kind of systems that rex got
35:59passed with any of those systems that curtis worked on i think that one of those clients might be
36:03mankiewicz's target
36:07okay all right all right get him closer to the office turn him right at the end of the hall and
36:11we're there
36:19take him closer to the office please please don't do this
36:23i've got six companies where curtis did contract work on security systems like the ones that rex
36:28defeated which of them are in the southwest of the city we got two sullivan's jewelers and sparks
36:33fishbackers i'm in a fish packing plant i have a high-tech security system that's a good question
36:40and curtis's gps timeline in the last month says he passed by that operation three times
36:46that company is owned by bill sparks but from what i've read sparks is a solid citizen everybody's got
36:51secrets some more than others should we scramble a unit not fast enough and we'll make it in time
36:57it's just us come on we're on our way i said take him closer to the office i want to see sparks i
37:05want to know he's there please please don't do this please don't make rex a killer i'll tell you what
37:11when he drops the package i will call in a fire alarm on the plant side and at least let the workers escape
37:17we can do it my way or you and rex die too
37:31rex go to the office
37:34yes i know they're waiting
37:37i told you the shipment is coming in on the northern mist
37:40the bomb's close enough to do what i need to do now
37:43they're coming on tuesdays and fridays and it's mixed in with that catch i will have it by the end of
37:46day now how about we talk about payments tell him to drop it and get out now do it
37:54rex no
37:59that's my boy yes
38:00you didn't have to do that you're a psychopath you're a psychopath you think we're not gonna find
38:11you maybe someone will find me but it ain't gonna be you darling and i lied to you i would never put a
38:20bomb in rex's collar
38:24there's no way i would hurt that magnificent beast
38:26also i lied about the fire alarm i can't risk sparks getting away
38:35i'm gonna go do the honors
38:56it seems quiet at sparks's fish packing plant
39:05i bet he's near if man was just planning to hit on sparks he won't be far away
39:10he'll want to see it with his own eyes that white building looks like it would be a good vantage point
39:15modern cameras on the wall right beside the fish plant that's good security for a place that looks vacant
39:20look there there northeast corner
39:31that's him where's sarah and rex look i'm right and i hope i'm not
39:37rex will be in sparks's plant doing whatever mankowitz wanted him for
39:40sarah will be inside the white building trying to avoid the cameras i'll take mankowitz you go get her
39:46uh what's up what's happening out there step away curtis step away on the floor now
40:16uh well looks like you had it under control not even close
40:33what the hell is going on
40:40you picked up the bomb i really didn't want to do this buddy
41:00hey rexie we're still friends right buddy
41:04so you're the new guy i didn't think you'd figure it out
41:13i think you underestimated my partner too
41:17i'll remember you i'll send you a picture for yourself
41:21both both of us
41:25both officers are safe and vanquish is in custody
41:28all searching units can stand down coming home all right thank you
41:38you look pretty relaxed for someone who spent the day as a hostage to a homicidal criminal
41:43i'm actually just trying not to think about it too much
41:48he would have killed all those people not felt a thing trusted you guys would find us
41:54and of course i had rex to support me no better back up in a pinch i'll tell you
42:01i just spoke to the prison he said they're upping security on mankowitz hopefully that's the last we'll
42:05see him i guess we should never underestimate his ingenuity or his insanity speaking from recent
42:12experience i agree with that plus i mean added bonus sarah you overheard bill sparks talking about
42:18a deal over rex's audio link so coast guard was able to take down the northern mist with a cargo full of
42:23his contraband okay i think we can all drink to that oh and for you sir
42:37well okay they were fresher this morning he's just mad they were out of maple glaze
42:42well i can finish that if rex doesn't want it but i had three donuts for breakfast yesterday i don't care
