01:55Do you want to miss this, buddy?
02:07Let's get you home.
02:23What do we got?
02:25You heard of Steve Kowalski?
02:27Real estate developer, right?
02:28Multi-millionaire real estate developer.
02:30This company's been buying up land in the area.
02:32He'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.
02:42Meeks and Esposito are talking to witnesses.
02:44I want you to talk to the wife and the operator.
02:46Copy that.
02:53Mrs. Kowalski?
02:55I 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.
03:07I just...
03:08I can't believe it.
03:11I...
03:11I...
03:12I...
03:13I...
03:14I...
03:14I...
03:16I mean...
03:17We made our way up.
03:21And...
03:21He just...
03:31Mrs. Kowalski, I 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...
03:51I can't believe.
03:53Can you run me through it?
03:55From your point of view?
03:57Hi.
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.
04:14He's one of the best bosses I've ever had.
04:16So you've only worked here, what?
04:18A 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.
04:58Thanks.
05:10How 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 here is a good cop.
05:37Alright, 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, but Blue hasn't left this spot, and that means something.
05:54We'll get it sent to forensics ASAP.
05:57Alright.
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.
06:31And something definitely seems off.
06:33You know how brittle the rubber is?
06:36And 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.
06:59Hi.
07:00Oh, boy.
07:02How are you?
07:03Good to see ya.
07:06Hi.
07:08Hi.
07:14Blue?
07:15You said?
07:16Yeah. Long 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. You too?
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.
07:46Medically 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.
08:07Randall passed away recently, unexpectedly.
08:10Then Maverick just disappeared.
08:13We had no idea where he went.
08:14Until now.
08:18I'm sorry for your loss.
08:22I promised Randall if anything happened to him,
08:24I would take care of Maverick and give him the best life possible.
08:29So, that's why I'm here.
08:34Huh.
08:36That's funny.
08:38Used to do that with Randall as well.
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.
09:04Guess this is goodbye.
09:09Don'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.
09:30All right.
09:32Come on, boy.
09:33Let's go.
09:42It's okay, buddy.
09:44You can go.
09:48It's okay, buddy.
09:49You can go.
09:50Bye.
09:50Come on.
09:51Come on.
09:57Come on.
09:58Come on.
09:59Come on.
10:03Come on.
10:16crazy about that kowalski guy huh just another day in paradise hey where's blue
10:23he's not coming in anymore what do you mean what happened his owner saw my post or his owner's
10:29friend i guess either way he's back where he belongs which was the goal to begin with i didn't
10:35even get to say goodbye thought you'd be happy not to clean slobber off your desk anymore i thought
10:40i would be too but i'm gonna miss him i'm gonna miss who blue what happened his owner picked him
10:47up oh i'm sorry it's okay i'm sorry larson you okay i'll be fine
10:58okay so i spoke with ryan miller and he agrees that the bungee break looks off
11:02well it's gonna take a while for forensics to confirm so let's keep an open mind about
11:07everything including persons of interest person of interest
11:14jenna kowalski when jenna and steve got married she had to sign an airtight prenup
11:18which is standard for a guy of steve's net worth there goes motives not exactly last month the
11:24lovebirds took out a massive life insurance policy on steve so maybe jenna's trying to cash in
11:29okay one motive tracks but what about means she have to be partnered with someone who had access
11:34to equipment there's a scooter written all over it that dude was nervous possibly there's something
11:40off about that guy meeks interview all the employees at benji's bungees talk to anyone who had access to
11:45that court and keep the rest of the team updated esposito dig deeper into that family and larson
11:51the wife is staying at cliff's edge dig deeper but tread lightly copy all right let's go
12:20how are you holding up everyone's calling me asking me questions paying their respects
12:30this must be so difficult
12:32i know you're hurting a lot right now but a few facts have come to light that we need to
12:41discuss
12:44okay is there anything you could tell me that might help with our investigation
12:53my husband was an amazing man he was also a very powerful wealthy man
13:02what what 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 you've got this all wrong
13:28i loved steve he 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
13:47you know what i 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.
14:31Rihanna does a domestic pattern check tied to another case to cover myself.
14:34Good.
14:35I appreciate it.
14:37Warren asked 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, meaning the outside of the cable would
15:25look intact, but the inside would crumble.
15:27Sorry, I was a chemistry major.
15:29Nerd.
15:31Well, whoever did this wanted it to look like an accident, and they knew that hydrochloric acid would be the
15:35best 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 and see if we can connect
15:45it 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, and 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, getting sued, so he's not hanging around unnecessarily.
16:09Who'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, press him about Scooter.
16:22Will do.
16:48We 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.
17:05He followed protocol to the letter.
17:07This 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.
17:24It's my everything.
17:31Look, I just want you to know that the danger, it's part of the appeal.
17:34It's what people do extreme sports in the first place.
17:37Even this, park gliding accident, 12 stitches.
17:42You know how many times I've gone park gliding?
17:44It doesn't matter how much experience you have.
17:46The risk, it's the reward.
17:58The risk, it's the reward.
18:24No.
18:29Hey, boy.
18:30Got some beef jerky for you.
18:32Here you go.
18:37Come on, boy.
18:42No, huh?
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
22:11it was over
22:31it was a really cool thing about your wife's coming in today
22:41it was it was a great day for me
22:41and you have to get a little girl
23:08Access to equipment, documented hatred for the victims.
23:13Flight to avoid prosecution, and the murder weapon hydrocholic acid under your sink.
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? That 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. I found it under your sink myself.
23:58I've never seen this before.
24:04When you're ready to talk, you let me know.
24:12Let me know what you're gonna do.
24:13Let me know where to go.
24:14I'm ready to go.
24:14Let's go, go, go.
24:50I have to say I'm not very impressed.
24:52My brother is dead.
24:53I 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.
25:01With all due respect, Mr. Fortner, your wife has every reason to be angry.
25:06This has been ruled as a homicide.
25:11What? I thought it was an accident.
25:13No, it's murder.
25:15It's his wife. I 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.
25:27Nadine 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, but 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.
25:48So 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 bungees, 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 bungees 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, he'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?

41:19Apologies. I'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, you'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.
41:44What?
41:44How?
41:46Benji?
41:48He didn't.
41:50Oh, he did.
41:52Gerald, what's she saying?
42:02You...
42:04You did this.
42:08To my brother?
42:11I was trying to help.
42:14Well...
42:14He was gonna get you thrown out of the company.
42:23Guess money can't buy you everything, hey, 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?
42:48help.
42:51Oh, God!
42:53Oh, God!
43:19I love you, I love you, I love you, I love you
43:35I don't understand
43:37I've known this dog a long time, happiest 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
43:54The fact 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
44:16Blue belongs with you
44:30I'm sorry, I don't normally have
44:32This is a special dog
