01:55I'mma miss this buddy
02:07Let's get you home.
02:11And...
02:23What do we got?
02:25You heard of Steve Kowalski?
02:26I'm a real estate developer, right?
02:28Multi-millionaire real estate developer.
02:30This company's been buying up land in the area.
02:33He's our body.
02:34A bungee accident?
02:35Some kind of malfunction.
02:37Forensic is taking photos, but nothing obvious yet.
02:40It never is.
02:41Meeks and Esposito are talking to witnesses.
02:44I want you to talk to the wife and the operator.
02:46Copy that.
02:53Mrs. Kowalski?
02:54I have to call you back.
02:57That's me.
02:58You can call me Jenna.
03:00First, I just wanted to say how sorry I am for your loss.
03:03I'm Detective Larson.
03:06I just...
03:08I can't believe it.
03:11I...
03:11I...
03:16I mean, we made our way up, and he just...
03:24I don't care.
03:28I'm...
03:31I'm Detective Larson.
03:32I know you're upset about your brother.
03:38My sister-in-law planned this whole thing for his birthday.
03:42It was my suggestion.
03:44He always liked to do these crazy things.
03:50I just can't believe.
03:53Can you run me through it from your point of view?
04:00I moved to Crystal Ridge a few months ago.
04:03I wanted to start fresh, so I packed up the RV and came out here.
04:07So how long after moving here did you start working for Benji's Bungies?
04:11A few weeks after I set up camp.
04:13And Benji's great. He's one of the best bosses I've ever had.
04:16So you've only worked here, what, a couple of months?
04:19I'm a certified jump master.
04:21I know what I'm doing.
04:22I followed all the protocols.
04:24Even when Steve said that he didn't want any help, I still double-checked everything.
04:30I saw I recover the body several miles downstream.
04:32We need to move.
04:57Thanks.
05:08What was it, buddy?
05:23Something's up with this cord.
05:25You going with your gut again?
05:27Because...
05:27Blue hasn't failed us yet, and you know it.
05:30What I was about to say was I'm listening.
05:33And you're right.
05:35Chaos, you're a good cop.
05:37All right, look.
05:40I'm no expert on this stuff, so what are you thinking?
05:43Scooter said they replace the cords every six months.
05:46Industry standard is once a year, but Benji errs on the side of caution.
05:50He said the cords are only two months old.
05:51Blue hasn't left this spot, and that means something.
05:54We'll get it sent to forensics ASAP.
05:57All right.
05:58Esposito, Meeks, get some more intel from the family.
06:02Larson, you stay on scene.
06:04We'll reconvene at headquarters.
06:06Copy that.
06:06Copy that.
06:16What a way to start the day.
06:17Yeah, it was a rough one.
06:19Listen, Blue was sniffing around the cord that Steve Kowalski used.
06:24This is your world.
06:31Something definitely seems off.
06:34You know how brittle the rubber is, and there's a slight discoloration.
06:38What would cause that?
06:41No idea.
06:43But it's not regular wear and tear.
06:45We'll soon find out.
06:57Maverick!
06:58Oh, boy!
07:00Hey!
07:00Hey!
07:01Oh, boy!
07:02Hi!
07:03Good to see you.
07:04Oh!
07:07Hi.
07:08Hi.
07:14Blue, you said?
07:16Yeah.
07:17Long story, but that's what I've been calling him.
07:20Said his name was Maverick.
07:22And he lived up to it.
07:24Doesn't surprise me that he's helping on a job.
07:26He's a heck of a canine.
07:28Served his country with honor.
07:29I should have known he was military.
07:31Mm-hmm.
07:33You two?
07:34Four years.
07:36Yeah, I can see it.
07:38I'm glad I put in my time.
07:41When was he decommissioned?
07:44Same day that his handler and my best friend Randall, medically discharged.
07:48Randall's my best friend.
07:50Well, was until we met this for a ball.
07:53After that, I couldn't compete.
07:56Randall adopted him.
07:59You'd be happy to know that he turned up safe and sound.
08:02He would be.
08:06Um...
08:06Randall passed away recently, unexpectedly.
08:10Then, Maverick just disappeared.
08:13We had no idea where he went.
08:15Until now.
08:18I'm sorry for your loss.
08:22I promised Randall if anything happened to him, I would take care of Maverick and give him the best life
08:27possible.
08:29So, that's why I'm here.
08:34Huh.
08:36That's funny.
08:38At least he did that with Randall as well.
08:40Yes.
08:43You know, I don't have to go right away.
08:47You can spend a little more time with him if you want.
08:53But I should go.
08:55I'm on the clock.
09:02Uh...
09:03I guess this is goodbye.
09:08I don't think I'd be here today if it weren't for you.
09:20Thanks for taking care of him.
09:23I'd say it was my pleasure, but it was far more than that.
09:31Alright.
09:32Come on, boy.
09:33Let's go.
09:42It's okay, buddy.
09:44You can go.
09:45Come on.
10:16Crazy about that Kowalski guy, huh?
10:19Just another day in paradise.
10:21Hey, where's Blue?
10:23He's not coming in anymore.
10:25What do you mean, what happened?
10:26His owner saw my post.
10:28Or his owner's friend, I guess.
10:30Either way, he's back where he belongs.
10:32Which was the goal to begin with.
10:35I didn't even get to say goodbye.
10:37Thought you'd be happy not to clean slobber off your desk anymore.
10:40I thought I would be too, but I'm gonna miss him.
10:42Gonna miss who?
10:44Blue.
10:45What happened?
10:46His owner picked him up.
10:48Oh, I'm sorry.
10:50It's okay.
10:51I'm sorry, Larissa.
10:53You okay?
10:54I'll be fine.
10:58Okay, so.
10:59I spoke with Ryan Miller, and he agrees that the bungee break looks off.
11:03Well, it's gonna take a while for forensics to confirm,
11:05so let's keep an open mind about everything.
11:07Including persons of interest.
11:09Person of interest.
11:14Jenna Kowalski.
11:15When Jenna and Steve got married, she had to sign an airtight prenup,
11:18which is standard for a guy of Steve's net worth.
11:21There goes motives.
11:21Not exactly.
11:23Last month, the lovebirds took out a massive life insurance policy on Steve.
11:27So maybe...
11:28Jen is trying to cash in.
11:30Okay, one motive tracks, but what about means?
11:32She had to be partnered with someone who had access to equipment.
11:35There's a scooter written all over it.
11:37That dude was nervous.
11:39Possibly.
11:39There's something off about that guy.
11:41Meeks, interview all the employees at Benji's Bungies,
11:44talk to anyone who had access to that court,
11:46and keep the rest of the team updated.
11:48Esposito, dig deeper into that family.
11:51And Larson, the wife is staying at Cliff's Edge.
11:54Dig deeper, but tread lightly.
11:56Copy.
11:57All right.
11:58Let's go.
12:20How are you holding up?
12:22Everyone's calling me, asking me questions, paying their respects.
12:30This must be so difficult.
12:32Yeah.
12:36I know you're hurting a lot right now,
12:39but a few facts have come to light that we need to discuss.
12:43Okay.
12:45Is there anything you could tell me that might help with our investigation?
12:54My husband was an amazing man.
12:57I was also a very powerful and wealthy man.
13:02What do you mean?
13:06Because of your husband's wealth, we had to look into his finances.
13:11We found the life insurance policy that was taken out last month.
13:16You're set to inherit a lot of money.
13:19You think I killed Steve?
13:22I don't think anything right now.
13:24I'm just gathering facts.
13:26No, this is crazy.
13:27You've got this all wrong.
13:29I loved Steve.
13:30He didn't even want a prenup.
13:32His father is the one that forced us to sign it.
13:35Steve got the life insurance policy because he wanted to protect me.
13:45This is...
13:46You know what?
13:47I can't do this.
13:53Please, just find out what happened to Steve.
14:20Tell me you managed to get a copy.
14:22If anyone finds out, I'm in some serious trouble.
14:25I know you're sworn in, but this is stretching it.
14:28Did you sign it out like I told you to?
14:29I'm not a moron, you know.
14:31Ran it as a domestic pattern check tied to another case to cover myself.
14:34Good.
14:35I appreciate it.
14:37I wanted to ask if it wasn't important.
14:39It better be, because both our necks are on the line.
15:11Meeks, you there?
15:12Yeah, I'm here.
15:14Forensics confirmed the bungee that killed Steve Kowalski was highly eroded due to hydrochloric acid.
15:20The acid has a way of degrading the internal structure of the cord.
15:24Meaning the outside of the cable would look intact, but the inside would crumble.
15:28Sorry, I was a chemistry major.
15:29Nerd.
15:31Well, whoever did this wanted it to look like an accident,
15:33and they knew that hydrochloric acid would be the best way to do it.
15:37That's premeditation and access to equipment.
15:41I'll send patrol units to all stores in the area that carry hydrochloric acid
15:44and see if we can connect it to one of her suspects.
15:48Did you get anywhere with Benji's employees?
15:50Yeah, one just got back from vacation.
15:52Her alibi checks out.
15:53The other works as a computer guy on weekends.
15:55Doesn't know jack about bungees,
15:57and I'd venture to guess he knows even less about hydrochloric acid.
16:00What about Benji?
16:01He wasn't in.
16:02They say to be back in a bit.
16:03I get the feeling he's scared of his business going under,
16:06getting sued, so he's not hanging around unnecessarily.
16:08Who's next on the list?
16:10The man, the myth, the legend.
16:13Scooter.
16:14Heading to his residence now.
16:15All right, keep us posted.
16:17Copy.
16:17Larson, I want you to find Benji, interview him.
16:21Press him about Scooter.
16:22Will do.
16:47We should talk.
16:54We've been averaging about 70 jumps a day.
16:57Let's talk about Scooter.
16:59Scooter.
17:01Bit of a space cadet.
17:02But I was told by everyone there,
17:04he followed protocol to the letter.
17:06This was just an unfortunate accident.
17:09Something like this happened before?
17:11Never happened to me.
17:14So, are you worried about that?
17:18Everybody knows the Kowalski family.
17:21It's a powerful name.
17:23I still want something to happen to my business.
17:25It's my everything.
17:30Look, I just want you to know that the danger,
17:33it's part of the appeal.
17:34It's what people do extreme sports in the first wins.
17:37Even this.
17:39Paragliding accident, 12 stitches.
17:42You know how many times I've gone paragliding?
17:44It doesn't matter how much experience you have.
17:46The risk, it's the reward.
18:14The risk, it's the reward.
18:29Hey, boy.
18:30You got some beef jerky for you.
18:32Here you go.
18:37Come on, boy.
18:42No, huh?
18:45No.
18:58what's going on i got to scooters campsite but his rv was gone he skipped town so right now i'd
19:04say he's our prime person of interest doug scooter bellows a couple of arrests under his belt
19:12willingly going by scooter is arrest worthy in my book amen to that no violent incidents just
19:17arrests for protests and demonstration but get this the last arrest occurred at the most recent demo
19:22site for kowalski condominiums he protested steve's company turns out scooter isn't too happy about the
19:28kowalski corporation developing land around town so he's an activist but a murderer it's motive plus
19:34if he wasn't involved why run good point we'll put a bolo out for a scooter in his rv you're
19:39gonna want
19:40to see this what is it benji's bunji's booking records nadine's the one who booked the trip
19:46and she told me her sister-in-law booked it but wait wait there's more so steve and nadine's
19:52father stepped down as the ceo of the kowalski corporation two years ago and guess who took
19:57over after the patriarch retired daddy's little girl bingo and since nadine has been steering the
20:03ship the company has been taking on water of course steve wasn't happy that he was passed over for the
20:11ceo position and since the stock prices have been tanking he has been quietly campaigning to flip as
20:18many board members as he can to push his sister out of the top position so the sister knew that
20:25steve
20:25was trying to kick her out and she booked the bunji birthday let's bring him in today
20:36it's a beautiful place bill
20:39it was love at first sight for claire i bought it on the spot it was her getaway
20:45now just like the house everywhere i look just memories i see her everywhere
20:53where did you get these i got them let's leave it at that is that why you've been at whispering
20:59pine so many times yeah that day i didn't register right away what happened but a few months ago
21:12i was on a climb similar face to where your wife fell and i saw it differently
21:19doesn't make sense that's why i can't let it go
21:24why was an mps on this it was in the park landed on county
21:30why i don't know something's off
21:58scooter taking off gives us probable cause
22:01i'm gonna check out the rv
22:02all right leave scooter to me
22:08scooter scooter scooter where you running off to
22:15go
22:16go
22:30go
22:32go
22:43I don't know.
23:08Access to equipment, documented hatred for the victim, flight to avoid prosecution, and the murder weapon hydrocholic acid under your
23:18sink.
23:19What do you mean, murder weapon?
23:21At this point, cooperation is your best friend.
23:24I didn't do anything.
23:26Then why did you run?
23:29I was the guy's jumpmaster.
23:31I figured that you'd do a quick search and see that I protested the Kowalski Corporation.
23:35So you ran?
23:37That makes you look guilty.
23:39I didn't say it was the smartest thing to do.
23:42Look, even if I did buy your story, it still doesn't explain the hydrocholic acid in your RV.
23:50What?
23:52Scooter, come on.
23:54I found it under your sink myself.
23:58I've never seen this before.
24:04When you're ready to talk, you let me know.
24:08Come on.
24:19So...
24:50I have to say I'm not very impressed.
24:52My brother is dead.
24:54I almost know nothing about what happened and who is to blame.
24:56I tried explaining to her that these things happen and it's no one's fault.
25:00Well, with all due respect, Mr. Fortner, your wife has every reason to be angry.
25:06This has been ruled as a homicide.
25:09What?
25:11I thought it was an accident.
25:13No, it's murder.
25:15It's his wife.
25:16I mean, I never liked her.
25:18Ms. Kowalski, I know you want answers and so do we.
25:21So if the two of you could answer some of our questions, maybe we can answer some of yours.
25:25Of course, we'll do anything to help.
25:27Maybe we loved her brother and then Steve was one of my closest friends.
25:34Ms. Kowalski, when did you book the trip?
25:36Well, I didn't.
25:37But it was a gift for my brother's wedding.
25:40He got married sometime last year.
25:41You told me that your sister-in-law booked the trip.
25:45I can't remember.
25:47Okay.
25:49So you don't remember booking the trip or any of the trip's activities?
25:54Nadine's assistant handles all that.
25:56Maybe she did it.
25:58Well, the call to Benji's Bungies, it came from your personal cell phone.
26:04And I don't understand why any of this matters.
26:07Why bungee jumping?
26:09Why Benji's Bungies specifically?
26:12Someone suggested it.
26:13I can't remember who.
26:15It was Steve.
26:16Yeah, and we did what he wanted.
26:20He always got what he wanted.
26:24Ever since we were kids.
26:36Excuse me.
26:37I think I'd like to leave.
26:47If there's anything else we can do, you know how to reach us?
26:59Brian, it's Bill.
27:02Hey, Bill.
27:03I've been looking at the files.
27:05And?
27:06And I think it's worth taking a look.
27:08I know Sheriff Al.
27:09He's a friend.
27:10I could talk to him.
27:11At some point, yes.
27:14But to get anyone to take this seriously, friend or not,
27:17especially what I'm suggesting,
27:19let's do the work ourselves, put the pieces together,
27:22and then maybe they'll listen.
27:25Okay.
27:26And Ryan, thank you.
27:29It means a lot.
27:45I think I've got something.
27:46Check this out.
27:47It's from last night.
27:53Is that Scooter's RV?
27:55Mm-hmm.
27:57I didn't realize that part of the park had surveillance.
27:59There isn't.
28:00I tapped into Fish and Game next to a bait site.
28:03Straight shot to Scooter's RV.
28:04Watch this.
28:08Freeze it?
28:09Mm-hmm.
28:12The image isn't clear.
28:14No, but it's a guy who looks like Scooter,
28:16entering Scooter's RV with a jug similar to the one you found with hydrochloric acid.
28:20What more do you need?
28:22Scooter knew what equipment they were using the next morning.
28:24He could have stolen the keys to the store,
28:25grabbed the bungee, and doused it in acid the next morning.
28:29Timeline fits.
28:34Any word from those patrol units?
28:36Hmm?
28:37Any hits on where the acid came from?
28:40No, nothing.
28:41Just hardware stores?
28:43Hardware, home improvement, any retailer that might sell that kind of chemical.
28:46They check any pool supply stores?
28:52Uh, sorry, I didn't even think of it.
28:54It's no big deal.
28:54No, it is a big deal.
28:56I don't make that kind of mistake.
28:57You know I'd love it if you actually messed up.
28:59You're being way too hard on yourself.
29:01I can get to all of them this afternoon.
29:04I'll come with you.
29:05I got it.
29:06You've had a tough day, military.
29:08Take the afternoon off and help us figure this thing out.
29:37Hey, whoa, whoa, whoa, hold up.
29:39Taking the afternoon off?
29:41We're closed.
29:43We're not closed yet.
29:44Sorry.
29:45It's my golf day.
29:56Nothing like a little unpaid OT to help Johnny Law.
29:59Hey, that's the spirit.
30:03You sell this brand here?
30:05Sure do.
30:06I need invoices for any hydrochloric acid sales you made in the last 48 hours.
30:11Right this way, I guess.
30:26Here's a better question.
30:29That thing work?
30:43Hey.
30:46Hey.
30:47How you holding up?
30:49You know.
30:52Do you mind?
30:53Of course not.
30:58You can't be offering to buy me a drink, though.
31:01I'm still on duty.
31:02Do you ever stop?
31:05If I do, you'll know something is seriously wrong.
31:08Could you be missing a certain someone?
31:12It was the right thing to do.
31:14Lose home now.
31:16You always were so independent.
31:19What do you mean?
31:20Even in high school, you didn't need anyone.
31:23Didn't you go to prom by yourself?
31:27I think you're mistaking uncool for independent.
31:30Are you kidding?
31:31You were fearless.
31:32You didn't care what anyone thought of you.
31:35Is that how it came across?
31:38Yeah.
31:39Guess my armor did its job.
31:42But it gets heavy after a while.
31:45Don't you think?
31:55I need to talk to Madge.
31:56Madge?
31:58Madge?
31:59Hey, Jodi, give me a minute.
32:00I'm just busy in the back.
32:01This guy, Scooter.
32:03Does he work here?
32:05Oh, that weasel?
32:06He does not.
32:07It looks like he's washing dishes.
32:09Yeah.
32:09That's because last night, I caught him trying to dine in Dash.
32:13Only he was only good with the dining part, not the dash.
32:16You do that in my establishment, you're in your spot on the wall of shame.
32:19What happens when you make the wall of shame?
32:21Well, you're banned for life.
32:22That's after I make you wash dishes all night to pay for your bill.
32:25Ha ha.
32:26How many hours was he here exactly?
32:28Till after two in the morning.
32:31That means it couldn't have been Scooter at his trailer at midnight.
32:40There must be something I missed.
32:43There must be something I missed.
33:16I don't know.
33:51I don't know.
34:18I don't know.
34:44I don't know.
35:26I don't know.
35:44I don't know.
36:14I don't know.
36:21I don't know.
36:21I don't know.
36:49I don't know.
36:50I don't know.
37:01I don't know.
37:10I don't know.
37:11I don't know.
37:29I don't know.
37:40I don't know.
38:02I don't know.
38:04I don't know.
38:19I don't know.
38:22I don't know.
38:28I don't know.
38:38I don't know.
38:50I don't know.
38:51I don't know.
38:54I don't know.
39:20I don't know.
39:28I don't know.
39:31I don't know.
39:34I don't know.
39:49I don't know.
39:51We'll find out tonight.
39:56I think we're done here.
40:11Benji sang like a bird.
40:13I heard.
40:14You were in the observation room?
40:16Figured I'd be on standby, you know, in case you couldn't deliver.
40:19Thanks for the vote of confidence.
40:21Now all we have to do is find Gerald and slap the cuffs on him.
40:26We still have time.
40:41Ah, great.
40:43What is it now?
40:45It's probably a DUI checkpoint.
40:47What?
40:48What?
40:48What?
41:03What?
41:07What?
41:08What?
41:17I haven't you people harassed us enough?
41:19Apologies.
41:20I'm gonna need you to step out of the car.
41:23This is ridiculous.
41:26Step out of the car.
41:27What's going on?
41:35Gerald Fortner.
41:36You're under arrest for the murder of Steve Kowalski.
41:39Have you lost your mind?
41:41I suggest you stay right there unless you'd like to join him.
41:43What?
41:44How?
41:46Benji?
41:48He didn't.
41:50Oh, he did.
41:52Gerald.
41:53What's she saying?
41:54What's she saying?
42:01You...
42:04You...
42:05You...
42:05You did this.
42:08To my brother?
42:12I was trying to help.
42:14Well...
42:14He was...
42:15He was...
42:15He was gonna get you thrown out of the company.
42:23Guess money can't buy you everything.
42:24Hey, Gerald?
42:28You have the right to remain silent.
42:30Anything you say will be used against you in a court of law.
42:33You have the right to an attorney.
42:35If you cannot afford one, one will be provided for you.
42:38Do you understand these rights as they have been read to you?
42:51Oh, God.
42:54No!
42:55No!
43:09No!
43:21Oh!
43:25Hi, baby.
43:28Hi.
43:31Hi.
43:35I don't understand.
43:37I've known this dog a long time.
43:39Happiest guy in the world, never an off day.
43:43But ever since I took him this morning, he hasn't been himself.
43:46He couldn't even lift his head off the car seat for some beef jerky.
43:51Him turning down jerky?
43:53Yeah.
43:54Fact is, there's only one place I've seen this dog happy since before he ran away.
44:01That's right here.
44:05The best way to honor my friend's memory isn't by giving this dog the best life I can give him.
44:12It's giving the life he wants.
44:17Blue belongs with you.
44:22Honey.
44:30Sorry, I don't normally...
44:32This is a special dog.
44:35He'll teach you things about yourself you never knew before.
44:39It's the door.
44:52It's the door.
44:53Oh!
45:14You're back.
45:16You're back.
45:17You're back.
45:24You're back.
45:46Hey!
45:50Yes.
45:51I hate to say it.
45:54Happy to see chaos is back.
45:56Well, expect to see a lot more of him because if we pass, he's officially gonna join K-9.
46:03We should be so lucky.
46:12See?
46:16I'll get some place.
46:20I'll get you to get you to get you to get you.
46:21Yeah!
46:21No.
46:51No.
47:21No.
47:51No.
48:21No.
