00:08all right who wants to go first let me out of there all right so just like we practice

00:21air I'll be back baby babe I can't look he always has to be the center of attention
00:57okay let's do this
01:11look at me
01:14oh
01:15oh
01:19you
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!
06:35Oh, boy.
06:36Hi.
06:37Where are you?
06:39Let me see you.
06:42Hi.
06:44Hi.

08:59all right come on boy let's go
09:11it's okay buddy you can go
09:32you can go
09:37you can go
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, Larson. 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,
10:42which is 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 had 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 is 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, let'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 to
12:01discuss.
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 sign it out like I told you to.
13:44I'm not a moron, you know.
13:45Ran it as a domestic parent and check tied to another case to cover myself.
13:49Good.
13:50I appreciate it.
13:51Warren asked 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.
14:42Whoever did this wanted it to look like an accident,
14:45and they knew that hydrochloric acid would be the best way 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
14:55and see if we can connect it 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,
15:07and 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,
15:16getting 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.
15:29Interview him.
15:30Press 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,
16:39it's part of the appeal.
16:40It's what people do extreme sports in the first place.
16:43Even this.
16:45Park gliding accident.
16:4612 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.
17:24Yeah.
17:32Hey, boy.
17:33Got some beef jerky for you.
17:35Here you go.
17:39Come on, boy.
17:45No, huh?
18:00What's going on?
18:01I got to Scooter's campsite, but his RV was gone.
18:04He skipped town.
18:05So right now, I'd say he's our prime person of interest.
18:11Doug Scooter Bellows.
18:12A couple of arrests under his belt.
18:13Willingly going by Scooter is arrest-worthy in my book.
18:16Amen to that.
18:17No violent incidents, just arrests for protests and demonstration.
18:20But get this.
18:21The last arrest occurred at the most recent demo site for Kowalski condominiums.
18:25He protested Steve's company?
18:26Turns out Scooter isn't too happy about the Kowalski Corporation developing land around town.
18:31So he's an activist.
18:32But a murderer?
18:33It's motive.
18:34Plus, if he wasn't involved, why run?
18:36Good point.
18:37We'll put a bolo out for Scooter in his RV.
18:39You're gonna want to see this?
18:40What is it?
18:41Benji's Bunji's booking records.
18:43Nadine's the one who booked the trip.
18:46And she told me her sister-in-law booked it.
18:48But wait, wait, there's more.
18:50So Steve and Nadine's father stepped down as the CEO of the Kowalski Corporation two years ago.
18:55And guess who took over after the Patriarch retired?
18:58Daddy's little girl.
18:59Bingo.
19:00And since Nadine has been steering this ship, the company has been taking on water.
19:06Of course, Steve wasn't happy that he was passed over for the CEO position.
19:10And since the stock prices have been tanking, he has been quietly campaigning to flip as many board members as
19:17he can to push his sister out of the top position.
19:21So the sister knew that Steve was trying to kick her out, and she booked the Bunji birthday.
19:27Let's bring him in today.
19:34It's a beautiful place, Bill.
19:36It was love at first sight for Claire.
19:38We bought it on the spot.
19:40It was her getaway.
19:42Now, just like the house, everywhere I look, just memories.
19:45I see her everywhere.
19:49Where did you get these?
19:51I got them.
19:52Let's leave it at that.
19:54Is that why you've been at Whispering Pines so many times?
19:57Yeah.
19:59That day, I didn't register right away what happened.
20:05But a few months ago, I was on a climb, a similar face to where your wife felt, and I
20:12saw it differently.
20:14It doesn't make sense.
20:16And that's why I can't let it go.
20:19Why was an MPS on this?
20:21It was in the park.
20:22Landed on County.
20:24Why?
20:25I don't know.
20:27Something's off.
20:52Scooter taking off gives us probable cause.
20:54I'm going to check out the RV.
20:56All right, leave Scooter to me.
21:00Scooter, scooter, scooter.
21:03Where are you running off to?
21:08All right.
21:58Access to equipment, documented hatred for the victim,
22:02flight to avoid prosecution,
22:05and the murder weapon hydrocholic acid under 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 jumpmaster.
22:20I figured that you'd do a quick search and see that I protested the Kowalski 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, even 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.
22:45I've never seen this before.
22:51When you're ready to talk, you let me know.
22:55No, no, no.
22:56No, no, no.
23:04No, no, no.
23:12No, no.
23:14You don't get it.
23:35i have to say i'm not very impressed my brother is dead i almost know nothing about what happened
23:40and who is to blame i 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 this has been ruled as a
23:52homicide what i thought it was an accident no it's murder it's his wife i mean i never liked her
24:01miss kowalski i know you want answers and so do we so if the two of you could answer some
24:06of our
24:07questions maybe we can answer some of yours of course we'll do anything to help maybe we loved
24:12her brother and steve was one of my closest friends
24:17miss kowalski when did you book the trip well i didn't but it was a gift for my brother's wedding
24:22he got married sometime last year you told me that your sister-in-law booked the trip
24:27i can't remember okay so you don't remember booking the trip or any of the trip's activities
24:35nadine's assistant knows all that maybe she did it well the call to benji's bungees it came from your
24:44personal cell phone and i don't understand why any of this matters why bungee jumping why benji's bungee
24:51specifically someone suggested it i i can't remember who it was steve and we did what he wanted

25:54this
25:54seriously a friend or not especially what i'm suggesting let's do the work ourselves put the
25:59pieces together and then maybe they'll listen okay and ryan thank you means a lot
26:21i think i've got something check this out it's from last night
26:30is that scooters rv mm-hmm i didn't realize that part of the park had surveillance
26:34there isn't i tap into fish and game next to a bait site straight shot to scooters rv watch this
26:47the image isn't clear no but it's a guy who looks like scooter entering scooters rv with
26:53a jug similar to the one you found with hydrochloric acid what more do you need scooter knew what
26:57equipment they were using the next morning he could have stolen the keys to the store grabbed
27:00the bungee and dusted in acid the next morning timeline fits
27:08any word from those patrol units and he hits on where the acid came from
27:14no nothing just hardware stores hardware home improvement any retailer that might sell that
27:19kind of chemical they check any pool supply stores uh sorry i didn't even think of it it's
27:27a big deal no it is a big deal i don't make that kind of mistake you know i'd love

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 a 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?
29:12Hey.
29:14Hey.
29:15How you holding up?
29:17You know.
29:20Do 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?
29:32If 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.
30:05Guess 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.
30:27Scooter.
30:27Does he work here?
30:29Oh, that weasel?
30:30He does not.
30:32It looks like he's washing dishes.
30:33Yeah.
30:33That's because last night I caught him trying to dine in Dash.
30:37Only he was only good with the dining part, not the dash.
30:39You 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.
31:09Oh.
31:10Oh.
31:13Oh.
31:14Oh.
31:39I can't figure it out.
31:39I don't know.
32:15I don't know.
32:48I don't know.
33:31I don't know.
33:40Nice work, Meeks.
33:42Take lead on this.
33:45Larson's your ticket.
33:47Don't do that.
33:48Take us to the finish line.
33:50You deserve a win today.
33:52I'll start filling out the report.
33:54Besides, you write like you're not using your dominant hand.
33:56My handwriting?
33:58You should see the chicken scratch he puts down.
34:14Thanks for coming back in.
34:16Of course.
34:17Happy to help.
34:20So listen, we just need to tie up a few loose ends.
34:23I need to know who had access to your inventory room.
34:26Every manager has a key.
34:27Managers.
34:29So not Scooter.
34:32Oh, Scooter.
34:33He, uh...
34:34Do me a favor and take a look at this photograph.
34:38What's this?
34:39That's Nadine Kowalski.
34:40She's the CEO of the Kowalski Corporation.
34:44Does that name ring any bells?
34:47Maybe you need to take a closer look.
34:49It tends to a gentleman in the background.
34:51You recognize them?
34:52One of them is Gerald Fortner.
34:54And the other one looks like you.
34:57But the thing is...
34:59At first, I couldn't figure out how a small business owner
35:02with no discernible ties to the Kowalski Corporation
35:05manages to get invited to one of their black tie gala events.
35:09It's a real head-scratcher.
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
35:18on five separate occasions.
35:20Well, Crystal Rage 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
35:32underneath that bandage.
35:34That is a hydrochloric acid burn
35:36from tampering with Steve's bungee cord.
35:39I could get a warrant, get the bandage removed,
35:41but I don't need to.
35:42We found footage from outside Scooter's RV
35:44from an old hunting cam.
35:47At first, it was hard to tell who it was,
35:48but then I noticed something.
35:50A bandage on the man's left arm.
35:52Same one that you have right here.
35:55It also doesn't help that we have a video
35:56of you buying the hydrochloric acid.
36:01I'm going to level with you, Benji.
36:03We all know you're involved in this thing.
36:05You could get a reduced sentence
36:07if you name your accomplice and cooperate.
36:10I'm not sure how many paragliding opportunities
36:12there are in a federal prison.
36:14As for Gerald, well, he's got money,
36:17so he'll take care of his hide, 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
36:31was planning to move against her.
36:34So I offered help.
36:40Gerald, he came up with how to get rid of the problem
36:42of an accident.
36:43It was all his idea, I swear.
36:46What about the hydrochloric acid
36:48you planted in Scooter's RV?
36:49He wanted it to look like an accident,
36:51but Gerald, he figured
36:53we should probably have a contingency plan
36:55just in case.
36:56How'd you do it?
37:01Scooter's a space cadet.
37:04I took the key from the RV,
37:05I'll put his key ring.
37:07Left forward, got a copy, put it back.
37:09Didn't notice a thing.
37:15The night before the jump,
37:16I snuck into Scooter's RV
37:17and I planted the acid.
37:21If this happened to go to an accident,
37:22no one would have even known
37:23he was there in the first place.
37:28Look, when Gerald came to me,
37:30I 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
37:42and he knew it would destroy her.
37:46Well, one more thing.
37:48I told Gerald that you were bringing me in
37:49for 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,
38:19you know, in case you couldn't deliver.
38:20Thanks for the vote of confidence.
38:22Now all we have to do is find Gerald
38:24and slap the cuffs on him.
38:27We still have time.
38:41Oh, great.
38:43What is it now?
38:45It's probably a DUI checkpoint.
38:46What?
38:47What?
39:00I don't know.
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?
39:56Oh, you did this.
40:04To my brother?
40:07I was trying to help.
40:09He was going to get you thrown out of the company.
40:18I guess 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.
40:33Do you understand these rights as they have been read to you?
40:43Oh, God.
40:46Oh, God.
40:49Oh, God.
41:26I don't understand.
41:28I've known this dog a long time.
41:30Happiest guy in the world.
41:31Never had an off day.
41:34But ever since I took him this morning, he hasn't been himself.
41:37I couldn't even lift his head off the car and see for some beef jerky.
41:42Him turning down jerky?
41:44Yeah.
41:45Fact is, there's only one place I've seen this dog happy since before he ran away.
41:52That's right here.
41:56Best way to honor my friend's memory is by giving this dog the best life I can give him.
42:01He's giving the life he wants.
42:06Blue belongs with you.
42:11Hi.
42:19I'm sorry.
42:20I don't normally...
42:21This is a special dog.
42:24He'll teach you things about yourself you never knew before.
42:28Listen to him.
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.
43:56Let's eat?
43:57Yes.
43:59I'll get some plates.
44:02I'll get some plates.
44:03I'll get some plates.
