00:57okay let's do this
01:11look at me
01:20you
01:46I'm gonna miss this, buddy.
01:57Let's get you home.
02:13What do we got?
02:14You've heard of Steve Kowalski?
02:16Real estate developer, right?
02:17Multi-millionaire real estate developer.
02:19This company has been buying up land in the area.
02:22He's our body.
02:23Bungie accident?
02:24Some kind of malfunction.
02:25Forensic is taking photos, but nothing obvious yet.
02:28It never is.
02:30Meeks and Esposito are talking to witnesses.
02:32I want you to talk to the wife and the operator.
02:34Tell me that.
02:41Mrs. Kowalski?
02:43I have to call you back.
02:45That's me.
02:46You can call me Jenna.
02:48First, I just wanted to say how sorry I am for your loss.
02:51I'm Detective Larson.
02:54I just...
02:55I can't believe it.
03:02I mean, we made our way up, and he's just...
03:10I mean, we made our way up, and he's just...
03:27It was my suggestion.
03:29I always like to do these crazy things.
03:35I just...
03:36I can't believe it.
03:38Can you run me through it?
03:40From your point of view?
03:44I moved to Crystal Ridge a few months ago.
03:47I wanted to start fresh, so I packed up the RV and came out here.
03:51So how long after moving here did you start working for Benji's Bungies?
03:55A few weeks after I set up camp.
03:57And Benji's great.
03:58He's one of the best bosses I've ever had.
04:00So you've only worked here, what, a couple of months?
04:03I'm a certified jump master.
04:05I know what I'm doing.
04:06I followed all the protocols.
04:08Even when Steve said that he didn't want any help, I still double-checked everything.
04:13So I recover the body several miles downstream.
04:15We need to move.
04:39Thanks.
04:51What is it, buddy?
04:54What is it?
05:04Something's up with this cord.
05:06You going with your gut again?
05:08Because...
05:08Blue hasn't failed us yet, and you know it.
05:10What I was about to say was I'm listening.
05:13You're right.
05:15Chaos, you is a good cop.
05:17All right, look.
05:20I'm no expert on this stuff.
05:21So what are you thinking?
05:23Scooter said they replace the cords every six months.
05:25Industry standard is once a year, but Benji errs on the side of caution.
05:29He said the cord's only two months old, but Blue hasn't left this spot, and that means something.
05:33We'll get it sent to Forensics ASAP.
05:36All right.
05:37Esposito, Meeks, get some more intel from the family.
05:41Larson, you stay on scene.
05:43We'll reconvene at headquarters.
05:44Copy that.
05:45Copy that.
05:54What a way to start the day.
05:55Yeah, it was a rough one.
05:57Listen, Blue was sniffing around the cord that Steve Kowalski used.
06:01This is your world.
06:09Something definitely seems off.
06:11You know how brittle the rubber is, and there's a slight discoloration.
06:15What would cause that?
06:18No idea.
06:20But it's not regular wear and tear.
06:22We'll soon find out.
06:33Maverick.
06:35Maverick.
06:35Oh, boy.
06:37Oh, boy.
06:38Hi.
06:42Hi.
06:44Hi.
06:49Hi.
06:50you said?
06:52Yeah. Long story, but that's what I've been calling him.
06:56Said his name was Maverick.
06:57And he lived up to it.
06:59Doesn't surprise me that he's helping on the job.
07:01He's a heck of a canine.
07:03Served his country with honor.
07:04I should have known he was military.
07:07You too?
07:09Four years.
07:10Yeah, I can see it.
07:12Glad I put in my time.
07:16When was he decommissioned?
07:18Same day that his handler
07:19with my best friend Randall.
07:20Medically discharged.
07:22Randall's my best friend.
07:23Well, was until we met this for a ball.
07:27After that, I couldn't compete.
07:30Randall adopted him.
07:32You'd be happy to know
07:33they turned up safe and sound.
07:36Would be.
07:39Randall passed away recently.
07:42Unexpectedly.
07:43Then Maverick just disappeared.
07:45We had no idea where he went.
07:47Until now.
07:51I'm sorry for your loss.
07:54I promised Randall if anything happened to him,
07:56I would take care of Maverick
07:58and give him the best life possible.
08:00So,
08:01that's why I'm here.
08:04I'm sorry.
08:08That's funny.
08:09You used to do that with Randall as well.
08:15You know,
08:16I don't have to go right away.
08:18You can spend a little more time for him
08:20if you want.
08:23But I should go.
08:25I'm on the clock.
08:33I guess this is goodbye.
08:38Don't wait.
08:39I'd be here today
08:40if it worked for you.
08:50Thanks for taking care of him.
08:52I'd say it was my pleasure,
08:54but it was far more than that.
08:59Alright.
09:01Come on, boy.
09:02Let's go.
09:08Hey.
09:11It's okay, buddy.
09:12You can go.
09:13Come on.
09:13Up.
09:14Up.
09:43Crazy about that Kowalski guy, huh?
09:45Just another day in paradise.
09:47Hey, where's Blue?
09:49He's not coming in anymore.
09:51What do you mean? What happened?
09:53His owner saw my post. Or his owner's friend, I guess.
09:56Either way, he's back where he belongs, which was the goal to begin with.
10:00I didn't even get to say goodbye.
10:03Thought you'd be happy not to clean Slobber off your desk anymore.
10:05I thought I would be too, but I'm going to miss him.
10:08Going to miss who?
10:09Blue.
10:10What happened?
10:11His owner picked him up.
10:13Oh, I'm sorry.
10:15It's okay.
10:16I'm sorry, Larissa. You okay?
10:19I'll be fine.
10:23Okay, so, I spoke with Ryan Miller, and he agrees that the bungee break looks off.
10:27Well, it's going to take a while for forensics to confirm, so let's keep an open mind about everything, including
10:32persons of interest.
10:33Person of interest.
10:38Jenna Kowalski.
10:39When Jenna and Steve got married, she had to sign an airtight prenup.
10:42What's the standard for a guy of Steve's net worth?
10:44There goes motives.
10:45Not exactly.
10:47Last month, the lovebirds took out a massive life insurance policy on Steve.
10:51So maybe...
10:52Jenna's trying to cash in.
10:53Okay, one motive tracks, but what about means?
10:56She'd have to be partnered with someone who had access to equipment.
10:58There's a scooter written all over it.
11:00That dude was nervous.
11:02Possibly.
11:02There's something off about that guy.
11:04Meeks, interview all the employees at Benji's Bungies.
11:07Talk to anyone who had access to that court, and keep the rest of the team updated.
11:10Esposito, dig deeper into that family.
11:13And Larson, the wife is staying at Cliff's edge.
11:16Dig deeper, but tread lightly.
11:18Copy.
11:19All right.
11:20Let's go.
11:22Let's go.
11:26Let's go.
11:35Let's go.
11:37Let's go.
11:38Let's go.
11:41How are you holding up?
11:43Everyone's calling me, asking me questions, paying their respects.
11:51This must be so difficult.
11:53Yeah.
11:56I know you're hurting a lot right now, but a few facts have come to light that we need
12:01to discuss.
12:03Okay.
12:04Is there anything you could tell me that might help with our investigation?
12:13My husband was an amazing man.
12:16He was also a very powerful, wealthy man.
12:21What do you mean?
12:24Because of your husband's wealth, we had to look into his finances.
12:29We found the life insurance policy that was taken out last month.
12:34You're set to inherit a lot of money.
12:37You think I killed Steve?
12:40I don't think anything right now.
12:42I'm just gathering facts.
12:44No, this is crazy.
12:45You've got this all wrong.
12:46I loved Steve.
12:48He didn't even want a prenup.
12:49His father is the one that forced us to sign it.
12:53Steve got the life insurance policy because he wanted to protect me.
13:02This is, you know what, I can't do this.
13:09Please, just find out what happened to Steve.
13:35Tell me you managed to get a copy.
13:37If anyone finds out, I'm in some serious trouble.
13:40I know you're sworn in, but this is stretching it.
13:42Just hand it out like I told you to.
13:44I'm not a moron, you know.
13:45Ran it as a domestic pattern, check tight to another case to cover myself.
13:49Good.
13:50I appreciate it.
13:51I wanted to ask if it wasn't important.
13:53It better be, because both our necks are on the line.
14:24Meeks, you there?
14:25Yeah, I'm here.
14:27Forensics confirmed the bungee that killed Steve Kowalski was highly eroded due to hydrochloric acid.
14:32The acid has a way of degrading the internal structure of the cord.
14:36Meaning the outside of the cable would look intact, but the inside would crumble.
14:40Sorry, I was a chemistry major.
14:41Nerd.
14:43Whoever did this wanted it to look like an accident, and they knew that hydrochloric acid would be the best
14:47way to do it.
14:48That's premeditation and access to equipment.
14:52I'll send patrol units to all stores in the area that carry hydrochloric acid and see if we can connect
14:56it to one of our suspects.
14:59Did you get anywhere with Benji's employees?
15:01Yeah, one just got back from vacation.
15:03Her alibi checks out.
15:04The other works as a computer guy on weekends.
15:06Doesn't know jack about bungees, and I'd venture to guess he knows even less about hydrochloric acid.
15:10What about Benji?
15:11He wasn't in.
15:12They say to be back in a bit.
15:14I get the feeling he's scared of his business going under, getting sued, so he's not hanging around unnecessarily.
15:19Who's next on the list?
15:20The man, the myth, the legend.
15:22Scooter.
15:23Heading to his residence now.
15:25All right, keep us posted.
15:26Copy.
15:27Larson, I want you to find Benji, interview him, press him about Scooter.
15:31Will do.
15:56We should talk.
16:02We've been averaging about 70 jumps a day.
16:05Let's talk about Scooter.
16:07Scooter.
16:08Bit of a space cadet.
16:10But I was told by everyone there.
16:12He followed protocol through the letter.
16:14This was just an unfortunate accident.
16:16Something like this happened before?
16:18Never happened to me.
16:21So are you worried about that?
16:25Everybody knows the Kowalski family.
16:27It's a powerful name.
16:29I still want something to happen to my business.
16:31It's my everything.
16:36Look, I just want you to know that the danger, it's partly appealed.
16:40It's what people do in sports in the first place.
16:43Even this.
16:44Park gliding accident.
16:46Twelve stitches.
16:47You know how many times you've got park gliding?
16:49It doesn't matter how much experience you have.
16:52The risk, it's the reward.
17:19It doesn't matter how much experience you have.
17:21It's the reward for someone to show me the way.
17:24And I'm afraid for things are falling to break.
17:28It's watering and shame, but it's all on the way.
17:32Hey, boy.
17:33Got some beef jerky for you.
17:35Here you go.
17:39Come on, boy.
17:44No, huh?
18:00what's going on i got the scooter's campsite but his rv was gone he skipped town so right
18:05now i'd say he's our prime person of interest
18:11doug's scooter bellows a couple of arrests under his belt willingly going by scooter is
18:15arrest worthy in my book amen to that no violent incidents just arrests for protests and
18:19demonstration but get this the last arrest occurred at the most recent demo site for
18:23kowalski condominiums he protested steve's company turns out scooter isn't too happy about the
18:28kowalski corporation developing land around town so he's an activist but a murderer it's motive
18:34plus if he wasn't involved why run good point we'll put a bolo out for scooter in his rv
18:39you're gonna want to see this what is it benji's bunji's booking records nadine's the one who booked
18:44the trip and she told me her sister-in-law booked it but wait wait there's more so steve and
18:51nadine's
18:51father stepped down as the ceo of the kowalski corporation two years ago and guess who took
18:56over after the patriarch retired daddy's little girl bingo and since nadine has been steering this
19:02ship the company has been taking on water of course steve wasn't happy that he was passed over for the
19:10ceo position and since the stock prices have been tanking he has been quietly campaigning to flip as
19:16many board members as he can to push his sister out of the top position so the sister knew that
19:22steve
19:23was trying to kick her out and she booked the bunji birthday let's bring him in today
19:34it's a beautiful place bill it was love at first sight for claire but on the spot it was her

21:58access to equipment
21:59documented hatred for the victim

22:03prosecution
22:05and the murder weapon hydrocholic acid
22:07under your sink
22:08what do you mean murder weapon
22:10at this point cooperation is your best friend
22:13i didn't do anything
22:15then why did you run
22:18i was the guy's jump master
22:20i figured that you'd do a quick search
22:21and see that i protested the quasi corporation
22:24so you ran
22:25that makes you look guilty
22:27i didn't say it was the smartest thing to do
22:31look
22:31even if i did buy your story
22:35it still doesn't explain the hydrocholic acid in your rv
22:38what
22:40scooter come on
22:41i found it under your sink myself
22:46i've never seen this before
22:51when you're ready to talk you let me know
22:55go
23:04go
23:06go
23:06go
23:06go
23:35I have to say I'm not very impressed.
23:37My brother is dead.
23:38I almost know nothing about what happened and who is to blame.
23:41I tried explaining to her that these things happen and it's no one's fault.
23:45With all due respect, Mr. Portner, your wife has every reason to be angry.
23:50This has been ruled as a homicide.
23:53What?
23:55I thought it was an accident.
23:57No, it's murder.
23:59It's his wife.
24:00I mean, I never liked her.
24:02Ms. Kowalski, I know you want answers, and so do we.
24:05So if the two of you could answer some of our questions, maybe we can answer some of yours.
24:09Of course.
24:09We'll do anything to help.
24:11Nadine loved her brother, and Steve was one of my closest friends.
24:17Ms. Kowalski, when did you book the trip?
24:19Well, I didn't.
24:21But it was a gift for my brother's wedding.
24:22He got married sometime last year.
24:24You told me that your sister-in-law booked the trip.
24:27I can't remember.
24:29Okay.
24:31So you don't remember booking the trip or any of the trip's activities?
24:36Nadine's assistant handles all that.
24:38Maybe she did it.
24:40Well, the call to Benji's Bungies, it came from your personal cell phone.
24:45And I don't understand why any of this matters.
24:48Why bungee jumping?
24:50Why Benji's Bungies specifically?
24:53Someone suggested it.
24:54I can't remember who.
24:56It was Steve.
24:57And we did what he wanted.
25:00He always got what he wanted.
25:04Now since we were kids.
25:16Excuse me.
25:17I think I'd like to leave.
25:26If there's anything else we can do, you know how to reach us.
25:38Brian, it's Bill.
25:41Hey, Bill.
25:42I've been looking at the files.
25:44And?
25:45And I think it's worth taking a look.
25:46I know Sheriff Al.
25:48He's a friend.
25:48I could talk to him.
25:50At some point, yes.
25:52But to get anyone to take this seriously, a friend or not, especially what I'm suggesting,
25:57let's do the work ourselves.
25:59Put the pieces together, and then maybe they'll listen.
26:02Okay.
26:04And Ryan, thank you.
26:06It means a lot.
26:21I think I've got something.
26:23Check this out.
26:24It's from last night.
26:30Is that Scooter's RV?
26:31Mm-hmm.
26:33I didn't realize that part of the park had surveillance.
26:35There isn't.
26:36I tap into Fish and Game next to a bait site.
26:39Straight shot to Scooter's RV.
26:40Watch this.
26:43Freeze it?
26:44Mm-hmm.
26:47The image isn't clear.
26:49No, but it's a guy who looks like Scooter, entering Scooter's RV with a jug similar to
26:54the one you found with hydrochloric acid.
26:55What more do you need?
26:57Scooter knew what equipment they were using the next morning.
26:59He could have stolen the keys to the store, grabbed the bungee, and doused it in acid the
27:02next morning.
27:03Timeline fits.
27:08Any word from those patrol units?
27:10Hmm?
27:11Any hits on where the acid came from?
27:14No, nothing.
27:15Just hardware stores?
27:17Hardware, home improvement, any retailer that might sell that kind of chemical.
27:20They check any pool supply stores?
27:25Uh, sorry, I didn't even think of it.
27:27It's no big deal.
27:28No, it is a big deal.
27:29I don't make that kind of mistake.
27:31You know I'd love it if you actually messed up.
27:33You're being way too hard on yourself.
27:34I can get to all of them this afternoon.
27:37I'll come with you.
27:38I got it.
27:39You've had a tough day, military.
27:41Take the afternoon off and help us figure this thing out.
28:09Hey, whoa, whoa, whoa, hold up.
28:11Taking the afternoon off?
28:12We're closed.
28:14We're not closed yet.
28:15Sorry.
28:16It's my golf day.
28:27Nothing like a little unpaid OT to help Johnny Law.
28:30Hey, that's the spirit.
28:33You sell this brand here?
28:35Sure do.
28:36I need invoices for any hydrochloric acid sales you made in the last 48 hours.
28:41Right this way, I guess.
28:55Here's a better question.
28:58That thing work?
29:11Hey.
29:14Hey.
29:15How you holding up?
29:17You know.
29:19Do you mind?
29:21Of course not.
29:26You can't be offering to buy me a drink, though.
29:28I'm still on duty.
29:30Do you ever stop?
29:32Well, if I do, you'll know something is seriously wrong.
29:35Could you be missing a certain someone?
29:39It was the right thing to do.
29:41Lose home now.
29:42You always were so independent.
29:45What do you mean?
29:47Even in high school, you didn't need anyone.
29:49Didn't you go to prom by yourself?
29:54I think you're mistaking uncool for independent.
29:56Are you kidding?
29:57You were fearless.
29:58You didn't care what anyone thought of you.
30:01Is that how it came across?
30:03Yeah.
30:05I guess my armor did its job.
30:08But it gets heavy after a while.
30:10Don't you think?
30:20I need to talk to Madge.
30:21Madge?
30:23Madge?
30:24Hey, Joby, give me a minute.
30:25I'm just busy in the back.
30:26This guy, Scooter, does he work here?
30:29Oh, that weasel?
30:30Oh, he does not.
30:32It looks like he's washing dishes.
30:33Yeah.
30:33That's because last night, I caught him trying to dine and dash.
30:37Only he was only good with the dining part, not the dash.
30:40You do that in my establishment, you're in your spot on the wall of shame.
30:43What happens when you make the wall of shame?
30:45Well, you're banned for life.
30:46That's after I make you wash dishes all night to pay for your bill.
30:48Ha ha.
30:49How many hours was he here exactly?
30:51Till after two in the morning.
30:54That means it couldn't have been Scooter at his trailer at midnight.
31:03There must be something I missed.
31:05There must be something I missed.
31:40I don't know.
32:12I don't know.
32:43I don't know.
33:26I don't know.
33:40I don't know.
33:58I don't know.
34:29I don't know.
34:32I don't know.
35:10I don't know.
35:11But then I got the location data from both of your cell phones.
35:15You were both in the exact same location at the exact same time on five separate occasions.
35:20Well, Crystal Ridge is a small community.
35:22That's just a coincidence.
35:23It could be a coincidence, yes.
35:26Let's talk about your paragliding accident.
35:30I think it's safe to say that there aren't 12 stitches underneath that bandage.
35:34That is a hydrochloric acid burn from the bandage.
35:38We found footage from outside Scooter's RV from an old hunting cam.
35:47At first, it was hard to tell who it was, but then I noticed something, a bandage on the man's
35:51left arm.
35:55It also doesn't help that we have a video of you buying the hydrochloric acid.
36:00I'm going to level with you, Benji.
36:03We all know you were involved in this thing.
36:05You could get a reduced sentence if you name your accomplice and cooperate.
36:10I'm not sure how many paragliding opportunities there are in a federal prison.
36:14As for Gerald, well, he's got money, so he'll take care of his hive, not yours.
36:23Okay.
36:25Okay.
36:25You're right.
36:27I've known Gerald since we were kids.
36:29He told me that Nadine's brother was planning to move against her.
36:34So I offered help.
36:40Gerald, he came up with how to get rid of the problem of an accident.
36:43It was all his idea, I swear.
36:46What about the hydrochloric acid you planted in Scooter's RV?
36:49He wanted it to look like an accident, but...
36:52Gerald, he figured we should probably have a contingency plan just in case.
36:56How'd you do it?
37:01Scooter's a space cadet.
37:04I took the key from the RV, I'll put his key ring.
37:07Left forward, got a copy, put it back.
37:09We didn't notice a thing.
37:15The night before the jump, I snuck into Scooter's RV and I planted the acid.
37:21If this happened, it looked like an accident.
37:22No one would have even known he was there in the first place.
37:28Look, when Gerald came to me, I was days away from bankruptcy.
37:32I needed the money to save my business.
37:35He convinced me.
37:38He was doing it for his wife.
37:41She was going to lose the company and he knew it would destroy her.
37:46One more thing.
37:48I told Gerald that you were bringing me in for questioning.
37:52Who's planning to find out tonight?
37:58I think we're done here.
38:13Benji sang like a bird.
38:14I heard.
38:16You were in the observation room?
38:17Figured I'd be on standby, you know, in case you couldn't deliver.
38:20Thanks for the vote of confidence.
38:22Now all we have to do is find Gerald and slap the cuffs on him.
38:27We still have time.
38:41Ah, great.
38:43What is it now?
38:45It's probably a DUI checkpoint.
39:15Haven't you people harassed us enough?
39:17Apologies.
39:18I'm going to need you to step out of the car.
39:21This is ridiculous.
39:23Step out of the car.
39:25What's going on?
39:32Gerald Fortner, you're under arrest for the murder of Steve Kowalski.
39:36Have you lost your mind?
39:38I suggest you stay right there unless you'd like to join him.
39:40What?
39:41How?
39:43Benji?
39:45He didn't.
39:46Oh, he did.
39:49Gerald, what's she saying?
39:57You.
40:00You did this.
40:04To my brother.
40:07I was trying to help.
40:09Oh.
40:10He was, he was, he was going to get you thrown out of the company.
40:18Guess money can't buy you everything, hey, Gerald?
40:22You have the right to remain silent.
40:25Anything you say will be used against you in a court of law.
40:28You have the right to an attorney.
40:29If you cannot afford one, one will be provided for you.
40:32Do you understand these rights as they have been read to you?
40:45Oh, God.
40:48Oh, God.
41:25I don't understand.
41:28I don't understand.
41:29I don't understand.
41:30One time, happiest guy in the world, never in a rough day.
41:34But ever since I took him this morning, he hasn't been himself.
41:37He couldn't even lift his head off the car seat for some beef jerky.
41:42Him turning down jerky?
41:44Yeah.
41:45The fact is, there's only one place I've seen this dog happy since before he ran away.
41:52That's right here.
41:56The best way to honor my friend's memory isn't by giving this dog the best life I can give him.
42:02It's giving the life he wants.
42:06Blue belongs with you.
42:19I'm sorry, I don't normally eat.
42:21This is a special dog.
42:24He'll teach you things about yourself you never knew before.
42:28Listen to him.
42:57Hi.
43:01You're back.
43:02You're back.
43:26We came to cheer you up.
43:28Is that Blue?
43:30Blue, you're back.
43:31You're back.
43:34Hey.
43:35Yes.
43:36I hate to say it.
43:38Happy to see Chaos is back.
43:41Well, expect to see a lot more of him.
43:43Because if we pass, he's officially going to join K-9.
43:48We should be so lucky.
43:56See?
43:57See?
43:59All right.
44:00I'll get some plates.
44:02We can't do it.
44:03We can't do it.
44:04Yeah!
44:04Oh
