03:07I just I can't believe it
03:16I mean we made our way up and he just
03:31Mrs. Kowalski I know you're upset about your brother
03:38my sister-in-law planned this whole thing for his birthday
03:42Mrs. Kowalski it was my suggestion you always like to do these crazy things
03:46Mrs. Kowalski I just I can't believe
03:52Mrs. Kowalski can you run me through it from your point of view
03:56Mrs. Kowalski I moved to Crystal Ridge a few months ago
04:02Mrs. Kowalski I wanted to start fresh so I packed up the RV and came out here
04:07Mrs. Kowalski so how long after moving here did you start working for Benji's Bungies
04:10Mrs. Kowalski a few weeks after I set up camp
04:13Mrs. Kowalski and Benji's great he's one of the best bosses I've ever had
04:16Mrs. Kowalski so you've only worked here what a couple of months
04:19Mrs. Kowalski I'm a certified jump master
04:21Mrs. Kowalski I know what I'm doing
04:22Mrs. Kowalski I followed all the protocols
04:24Mrs. Kowalski even when Steve said that he didn't want any help
04:26Mrs. Kowalski I still double-checked everything
04:28Mrs. Kowalski I saw recover the body several miles downstream
04:32Mrs. Kowalski we need to move
04:33Mrs. Kowalski thanks
05:03Mrs. Kowalski how was it buddy?
05:13Mrs. Kowalski something's up with this cord
05:25Mrs. Kowalski you're going with your gut again because
05:27Mrs. Kowalski blue hasn't failed us yet and you know it
05:29Mrs. Kowalski what I was about to say was I'm listening
05:33Mrs. Kowalski you're right
05:35Mrs. Kowalski you're a good cop
05:37Mrs. Kowalski all right look
05:39Mrs. Kowalski I'm no expert on this stuff
05:41Mrs. Kowalski so what are you thinking?
05:43Mrs. Kowalski Spooter said they replace the cords every six months
05:45Mrs. Kowalski industry standard is once a year
05:47Mrs. Kowalski but Benji errs on the side of caution
05:49Mrs. Kowalski he said the cords only two months old
05:51Mrs. Kowalski blue hasn't left this spot and that means something
05:54Mrs. Kowalski we'll get it sent to forensics ASAP
05:56Mrs. Kowalski all right Esposito Meeks get some more intel from the family
06:01Mrs. Kowalski Larson you stay on scene we'll reconvene at headquarters
06:05Mrs. Kowalski copy that
06:07Mrs. Kowalski copy that
06:08Mrs. Kowalski what a way to start the day
06:17Mrs. Kowalski yeah it was a rough one
06:19Mrs. Kowalski listen blue was sniffing around the cord that Steve Kowalski used
06:23Mrs. Kowalski this is your world
06:25Mrs. Kowalski something definitely seems off
06:33Mrs. Kowalski you know brittle the rubber is and there's a slight discoloration
06:37Mrs. Kowalski what would cause it
06:39Mrs. Kowalski no idea but it's not regular wear and tear
06:44Mrs. Kowalski soon find out
06:46Mrs. Kowalski
06:47Mrs. Kowalski hi
06:58Maverick.
06:58Oh, boy.
07:00Hey.
07:00Hey.
07:01Hey.
07:01Hey.
07:03Good to see you.
07:07Hi.
07:09Hi.
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 lives up to it.
07:24Doesn't surprise me that he's helping on the job.
07:25He's a heck of a canine.
07:27Served his country with honor.
07:29I should have known he was military.
07:32You 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.
08:02Would be.
08:07Randall passed away recently.
08:09Unexpectedly.
08:11Then 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, I would take care of Maverick and give him the best life
08:27possible.
08:28So.
08:28So.
08:29That's why I'm here.
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.
09:03I guess this is goodbye.
09:09Don't think I'd be here today if it weren't for you.
09:21Thanks for taking care of him.
09:23I'd say it was my pleasure, but it was far more than that.
09:31All right.
09:32Come on, boy.
09:33Let's go.
09:42It's okay, buddy.
09:44You can go.
10:16Crazy about that Kowalski guy, huh?
10:19Just another day in paradise.
10:21Hey, where's Bloom?
10:23He's not coming in anymore.
10:25What do you mean?
10:25What happened?
10:26His owner saw my post.
10:28Or his owner's friend, I guess.
10:30Either way, he's back where he belongs, which was the goal to begin with.
10:34I 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?
10:44Bloom.
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, 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 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.
11:22Not exactly.
11:23Last month, the lovebirds took out a massive life insurance policy on Steve.
11:27So, maybe...
11:28Jenna's trying to cash in.
11:30Okay, one motive tracks, but what about Means?
11:32She'd have 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.
12:24Asking me questions.
12:26Paying 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?
12:53My husband was an amazing man.
12:56He was also a very powerful, 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? I can't do this.
13:52Please.
13:53Just 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 wouldn't 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 erotic.
15:18The 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.
15:30Nerd.
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. Her alibi checks out.
15:53The other works as a computer guy on weekends. Doesn't know jack about bungees, and I'd venture to guess he
15:58knows even less about hydrochloric acid.
16:00What about Benji?
16:01He wasn't in. They 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.
16:47We should talk.
16:54we've been averaging about 70 jumps a day let's talk about scooter scooter bit of a space cadet
17:02but i was told by everyone there he followed protocol to the letter this was just an unfortunate
17:08accident something like this happened before never happened to me so are you worried about that
17:18everybody knows the kowalski family it's it's a powerful name i still want something to happen
17:24to my business it's it's my everything
17:30look i just want you to know that the danger it's partly appeal it's what people do extreme sports
17:36in the first place even this park lighting accident 12 stitches you know how many times
17:42you've got pirate lighting it doesn't matter how much experience you have the risk it's the reward
18:29hey boy got some beef jerky for you here you go
18:36come on boy
18:42no huh
18:58what's going on
18:59i got to scooter's campsite but his rv was gone he skipped town so right now i'd say he's our
19:04prime
19:05person of interest
19:09doug scooter bellows a couple of arrests under his belt willingly going by scooter is arrest worthy in
19:14my book amen to that no violent incidents just arrests for protests and demonstration but get
19:20this the last arrest occurred at the most recent demo site for kowalski condominiums he protested
19:25steve's company turns out scooter isn't too happy about the kowalski corporation developing land
19:29around town
19:30so he's an activist but a murderer it's motive plus if he wasn't involved why run
19:36good point we'll put a bolo out for a scooter in his rv you're gonna want to see this what
19:41is it
19:41benji'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 father
19:52stepped down as the ceo of the kowalski corporation two years ago and guess who took over after the
19:58patriarch retired daddy's little girl bingo and since nadine has been steering the ship the company
20:04has been taking on water of course steve wasn't happy that he was passed over for the ceo position
20:12and since the stock prices have been tanking he has been quietly campaigning to flip as many board
20:18members as he can to push his sister out of the top position so the sister knew that steve was
20:25trying
20:25to kick her out and she booked the bungee birthday let's bring him in today
20:36it's a beautiful place bill it was love at first sight for claire i bought her on the spot it
20:43was her
20:43get away now 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
20:59so many times yeah that day i didn't register right away what happened but a few months ago i was
21:12on a
21:13climb a similar face to where your wife fell and i saw it differently it doesn't make sense
21:21that's why i can't let it go why was an mps on this it was in the park landed on
21:28county why i don't know
21:31that's why i don't know something's off
22:01I'm going to check out the RV.
22:03All right, leave scooter to me.
22:08Scooter, scooter, scooter.
22:10Where are you running off to?
23:01Where are you running off to?
23:08Access to equipment, documented hatred for the victim, flight to avoid prosecution,
23:15and 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 jump master.
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,
23:47it 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.
24:08I thought you did it.
24:18Bye.
24:21Bye.
24:26Bye.
24:28Bye.
24:29Bye.
24:31Bye.
24:50i have to say i'm not very impressed my brother is dead i almost know nothing about what happened
24:55and who is to blame i tried explaining to her that these things happen and it's no one's fault
25:00with all due respect mr fortner your wife has every reason to be angry this has been ruled as a
25:08homicide what i thought it was an accident no it's murder it's his wife i mean i never liked her
25:18miss kowalski i know you want answers and so do we so if the two of you could answer some
25:23of our
25:23questions maybe we can answer some of yours of course we'll do anything to help me didn't love

25:34miss kowalski when did you book the trip well i didn't but it was a gift for my brother's wedding
25:39he got married sometime last year you told me that your sister-in-law booked the trip
25:45i can't remember okay so you don't remember booking the trip or any of the trip's activities
25:53nadine's assistant knows all that maybe she did it well the call to benji's bungees it came from
26:02your personal cell phone and i don't understand why any of this matters why bungee jumping why benji's
26:10bungee specifically someone suggested it i i can't remember who it was steve yeah and we did what he
26:17wanted he always got what he wanted
26:24ever since we were kids

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.
42:54Oh, God.
43:07Oh, God.
43:09Oh, God.
43:23Oh, God.
43:25Hi baby. Hi. I don't understand. I've known this dog a long time. Happiest guy in the world, never an
43:40off day.
43:43But ever since I took him this morning, he hasn't been himself. He couldn't even lift his head off the
43:49car seat for some beef jerky.
43:51Him turning down jerky? Yeah. The fact is, there's only one place I've seen this dog happy since before he
43:59ran away.
44:01That's right here. The best way to honor my friend's memory isn't by giving this dog the best life I
44:11can give him.
44:12It's giving the life he wants. Blue belongs with you.
44:30I'm sorry I don't normally leave. This is a special dog. He'll teach you things about yourself you never knew
44:37before. Listen to him.
44:52You're welcome. Thank you.
45:09Hi. You're back. You're back.
45:40We came to cheer you up. Is that Blue? Blue, you're back!
45:46You're back! You're back!
45:49Hey! Yes?
45:51I hate to say it. Happy 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. Thank you.
46:12See? Yes. I'll get some plates.
46:18We can do it. We can do it. We can do it.
46:20Yeah!
46:21No.
46:51No.
47:21No.
47:51No.
48:21No.
