00:05Well, it's five days to Christmas, St. John's, and still no signs of snow.
00:09So call in with your predictions, and we'll see who rings in a white Christmas.
00:15So your girlfriend Laura's flying in for Christmas tonight.
00:17I hope you have something special planned.
00:19It looks incredible sweet.
00:20At a boutique hotel on the waterfront.
00:23Stone fireplace, big bay windows, dog friendly, of course.
00:28Sounds way better than my bachelor plans.
00:31I'm really looking forward to meeting her.
00:33Me too. You know what you should do?
00:34You should invite her to my holiday movie marathon, Boxing Day, 8 till 8.
00:37It's on the bill this year.
00:38It's a wonderful life.
00:39And?
00:40It's a wonderful life.
00:42Mark, do you think Laura can help me keep my mom entertained?
00:44I'm not sure quite St. John's can compete with her usual big city festive season.
00:50You know what you should do?
00:50You should bring her to my holiday movie marathon.
00:52And Rex promised to bring his reindeer antlers, didn't you, Rex?
00:57I'm not sure about that.
00:59Yeah, we've got concert tickets booked to the Festival of Lights.
01:01I'm going to take her to see that marble sculpture at the cathedral.
01:03Oh, the Veiled Madonna.
01:04It only comes out this time of year.
01:06It's spectacular.
01:07And as an art expert, your mother's going to absolutely love it.
01:09Yes.
01:10Oh, you know what you should do is follow the lead of my favorite Christmas tradition,
01:13the mummer.
01:14It's not a Newfoundland Christmas without mummering.
01:17So one of these nights, you could take your mum to watch the mummer's walk.
01:20Oh, I've always wanted to do that.
01:23Laura.
01:24Laura, how did she get here?
01:26I was supposed to pick you up tonight at the airport.
01:28I couldn't wait.
01:29I took an earlier flight.
01:29I wanted to surprise you.
01:31Merry Christmas.
01:32Hey.
01:34Merry Christmas.
01:36This is Laura.
01:37Laura, this is everybody.
01:38Joe, Sarah, Jessie.
01:40Hey.
01:40And Rex, of course.
01:41Oh, well, hello, Rex.
01:43I'm looking forward to getting to know you.
01:46I have an early Christmas present.
01:48What do you think?
01:49Any good?
01:52Well, it seems you're a hit.
01:53You must be hungry.
01:54Should we all grab dinner?
01:55My treat?
01:56Your treat?
01:57Sounds fantastic, but we wouldn't want to intrude.
01:59No, no, not at all.
02:00It's not really the holidays without friends.
02:03And you can tell me all about Newfoundland Christmas and mummering.
02:07Oh, careful what you wish for.
02:08Oh, no, she said I could do it.
02:09So the tradition of mummering was imported by English and Irish settlers.
02:14Really?
02:14Now, Newfoundlanders, they disguise themselves in old clothing and go door to door all during
02:19the festive season.
02:20Okay, asking the neighbours to guess who they are.
02:22It's like Halloween, but instead of candy, people give out rum.
02:34Well, thanks so much for dropping by.
02:37And girls, you were so well disguised, it took me forever to guess everybody, didn't it?
02:41Well done.
02:42Come on, girls.
02:43We're going to the next house.
02:44Have fun.
02:45See you tomorrow, Ellie.
02:46Any mummers allowed in, my love?
02:49Hmm, now who could you three be?
02:51Let's talk it out over a friendly drink.
02:58Ah, all in the name of fun, right?
03:00Yes, of course.
03:01Come on in.
03:05Pour a big one for the missus.
03:24Ellie, are you in here?
03:27It's Rita from next door.
03:31I brought cookies the kids made.
03:34Ellie?
03:37Ellie?
03:40Ellie?
04:00I mean, we saw her just last night.
04:08Time of death is approximately 9 o'clock last night.
04:11Looked like natural causes until first responders found that.
04:14Now, I'll know for sure back at the lab, but I think it's chloroform.
04:18Can you die from that?
04:19The margin between a knockout dose and a lethal one is pretty small, particularly for someone elderly.
04:25I take it, that's Ellie's glass.
04:27Now, I count three other glasses, maybe three intruders.
04:52And now Rex has the scent ID for all three.
04:55Oh, if only there was a data bank of suspects' bills.
05:00I'll swab the glasses, dust for prints.
05:02But nothing seems to be stolen.
05:04Like, even her purse is still here.
05:12What's he found?
05:22An ugly stick.
05:24Nice work, Rex.
05:25So maybe the intruders were mummers.
05:27I'll have Jesse canvas for ring cam footage.
05:29And, uh, look here.
05:32Oh, yeah, something is missing.
05:34You think that's what they were after?
05:37I can't really say what Ellie kept on her mantle.
05:40But she did post a few items recently on the neighborhood buy and sell.
05:43Might have sold something.
05:44I could send you the link.
05:46That'd be helpful.
05:47You say you saw her last night?
05:49Opening her door for everyone in the neighborhood.
05:52She's pretending not to know who my grandkids were so that they could play along, enjoying the fun.
05:58Now I have to tell them.
06:04I'm sorry for your loss.
06:08There's people like Ellie who keep the island traditions alive for the next generation.
06:14This feels like an attack on all of us.
06:23Now that we're finally open for business, let's put some more lights on the pillar.
06:27You know?
06:27Excuse me.
06:28S-J-P-D.
06:30Jesse Mills?
06:32From Rowandale Collegiate?
06:33Yeah.
06:34Ray Widmore, I sat behind you in Advanced Placement Medieval History.
06:37What are you doing here?
06:38I moved here six months ago to manage the inn.
06:41Yeah, it's been nothing but renovation so far, but we just opened last minute for the holidays.
06:46Oh, well, don't worry about that.
06:47St. John's always maxes out during Christmas.
06:48He'll fill up in no time.
06:52So you're a cop.
06:53Yeah, yeah, major crimes.
06:55Actually, you know, we had a little situation around the corner.
06:58I was hoping I could get your doorbell cam footage.
07:00Yeah, I just got it installed, so you might have to help me figure out how.
07:05I'd love to help in any way I can, though.
07:07So, um, just give me your number.
07:10Yeah, yeah.
07:10Uh, office?
07:12Cells, probably.
07:13That's probably better.
07:14Cell number.
07:15There we go.
07:17Great.
07:17Wow.
07:18I can't believe it.
07:19Oh.
07:20Hi there.
07:21Hi.
07:22Are you open?
07:22I checked online, but it wasn't clear.
07:24We are.
07:24Um, we have a lot of rooms I'm sure you'll love.
07:27Oh, yeah, that'd be great.
07:28Yeah.
07:28I'll leave you to it.
07:29Yeah, keep in touch.
07:30Yeah.
07:32Yeah, so it's just, uh, my wife and daughter?
07:35You have space?
07:36Yeah, uh, we do.
07:37I'll go get someone to help you with your bags.
07:41Laura, what are you doing here?
07:43I've got a bit of a situation.
07:46I know that man.
07:47He's not supposed to be here.
07:49Hey, sweetie, you carry your backpack.
07:51I'm excited to see the inside.
07:53It does look nice.
07:54Hey, did you see all the lights?
07:55Mm-hmm.
08:01So, after you and Rex got called away from brunch, I saw a client of mine who's not supposed
08:07to be outside of Halifax, and I followed him.
08:11I represented him on money laundering charges.
08:14Money laundering?
08:15He's just a small-time contractor.
08:17Built a few houses, but then sold them to a foreign buyer for close to three million.
08:22Matthew Flanagan.
08:24Never been in trouble before.
08:25Inherited the family business his father started.
08:28The problem is, the foreign buyer paid Matthew in cash.
08:32And then failed to report the cash transaction, I'm guessing.
08:35Well, claimed he was unaware of his obligation to.
08:39Judge didn't buy it, confiscated the houses and the proceeds.
08:42Okay.
08:43What about the buyer?
08:44Was he ever caught?
08:45No.
08:46British guy, but he's a ghost.
08:48And this ghost used the name Bob Ladron.
08:52Matthew claims they only met one time.
08:54All communication after that was through email.
08:56Okay, mystery man.
08:58Laundering millions of dollars of his own money.
08:59Who is this Bob?
09:01And why choose some random contractor in Halifax?
09:04I really believed in him, Mark.
09:07He's got a wife and kid.
09:10But now I'm wondering if I misjudged him.
09:13He's about to start a two-year sentence as part of the agreement.
09:15I mean, it could be he's trying to flee, but dragging his family with him is weird.
09:21I should talk to him.
09:23See how he explains his sudden departure to St. John's.
09:26Careful, though, right?
09:26I mean, if he is fleeing, you could spook him.
09:28And if not, he could be a very different guy than he's letting on.
09:31He's my client.
09:33I have an obligation to let him know the risks of what he's doing.
09:35Good point.
09:36But I may ask Jesse to look into him as well, just for safety.
09:38Okay, thanks.
09:39Sure.
09:45You get the tox report back on the victim?
09:47Not yet.
09:48The autopsy is underway, but I can confirm the rag tested positive for chloroform.
09:52Any idea where they got it?
09:53Well, it's usually distributed through chemical suppliers, but you need credentials to buy it.
09:57Unless it's stolen, made at home, using acetone and bleach, or ordered on the dark web.
10:02What's this?
10:03Doorbell cam footage from down the street caught our suspects.
10:06Check out our lady in pink.
10:09I recognize that evidence from the crime scene.
10:11She's carrying the ugly stick in.
10:16Not there on the way back.
10:17Right, and check out Santa Pants.
10:19Seems like he's got something over his shoulder that wasn't there before.
10:22Mmm, everything points to this being a targeted robbery.
10:25The neighbor thought that Ellie may have just sold whatever used to be on her mantle.
10:28I found her expired posts on the buy-and-sell page.
10:31Here's an ad for an antique vase.
10:36Yeah.
10:37Look at the clock.
10:38Right next to it.
10:39That's definitely what was missing from the victim's mantle.
10:42Look, it's in the same place and the same shape as the outline left in the dust.
10:45Seems like a lot of trouble to go through for an old clock.
10:47I mean, how much could it possibly be worth?
10:49$20,000 at least.
10:52Likely crafted for Russian royalty pre-revolution.
10:55Late 1800s.
10:56That's a lovely piece.
10:59Mom?
11:09What are you doing here?
11:12I thought you had work right up until Christmas.
11:15All my meetings were online, so I just thought I'd fly over and surprise you.
11:19There's a lot of that going around.
11:22Okay, guys.
11:23I know you've met virtually, but this is my mother, Paige.
11:26Joe, Jesse, Mark, and of course you know Rex.
11:31It's so nice to meet you all face to face.
11:33Likewise.
11:34But do you really think that this old clock is worth that much?
11:37Oh, yes, absolutely.
11:39The ornate design, signature styling.
11:41It's a Fabergé.
11:44Why would a clock that expensive just be sitting on a mantle in St. John's?
11:47Oh, families pass things down, people buy things at garage sales.
11:50There's all sorts of antique treasures in attics just waiting to be discovered if you know what to look for.
11:55So it's possible that they spotted the clock on the buy and sell sites and then targeted the house?
12:00Which begs the question whether this is a one-off robbery or if they'll use the mummering season to strike
12:05again.
12:06You know, it might be worth checking out the old posts on the buy and sell websites.
12:11Can I help? I may be able to pick out the high-value items.
12:14Are you sure, Mum?
12:15Because I can take some time. We can grab lunch.
12:18Don't be silly. I didn't expect you to just drop everything because I arrived.
12:22We can catch up later.
12:25Please, lead the way.
12:27This way.
12:29We'll set you up in the briefing room.
12:32The autopsy report's in.
12:34Let me know if there's anything interesting, yeah?
12:36Okay.
12:40Jesse, I need a favor.
12:41Yeah.
12:42Can you run a few checks on a contractor out of Halifax, Matthew Flanagan?
12:46As well as an international criminal who goes by Bob Ladron.
12:50Okay.
12:51You think they're connected to the case?
12:52No, it's about the man Laura saw with you who shouldn't be here.
12:55But for our case...
12:57You want to bring up the ugly stick from evidence?
12:59Yeah.
13:01Are you able to track down where this thing was purchased?
13:03Yeah, on it.
13:10Okay.
13:11Yes.
13:12No, I know.
13:14I understand.
13:17Yes.
13:18I got it.
13:24Laura?
13:26What are you doing here?
13:27I have the same question for you.
13:29I think maybe we should talk.
13:32I know how it might look suddenly leaving Halifax, but this is a family vacation.
13:37You have to admit the timing's a little suspicious.
13:40I used to come here all the time as a boy to visit my grandfather.
13:43I remember how beautiful everything was, and I would tell my daughter Cooper stories about it all the time.
13:48She loves hearing about this place.
13:52I just wanted to give Cooper a magical Christmas before, uh...
13:55You go to prison.
13:58She's going to be 12 when I get out.
14:00Matthew, I believe you, but as your lawyer, I have to advise you that failing to surrender is a very
14:06serious offense.
14:10You don't have to worry.
14:11I know what I'm doing.
14:16Hey.
14:19Pumpkin spice latte.
14:20Jesse's own recipe.
14:22If you can get past the chalkiness, it's actually pretty good.
14:25Oh, thanks.
14:29I'm sorry to drag you into another case.
14:32And at Christmas, no less.
14:34It's fine.
14:35That poor woman.
14:37I'm just glad I'm able to help.
14:40Plus, I get to spend more time with you.
14:42I had so many outings planned.
14:46Now it's your turn.
14:49Do you remember that Christmas we spent in Chicago?
14:52You were in high school.
14:53All you wanted to do was check out the Field Museum.
14:57There was a temporary forensics exhibit.
14:59But I was juggling calls and deadlines, and...
15:03I rushed you through it.
15:09Oh, Mom, I understood.
15:11And I understand now.
15:16Thanks, Mom.
15:22This is pumpkin?
15:24Yeah.
15:26It's very interesting.
15:28I know.
15:30So have you found anything yet?
15:31No, not yet.
15:32Seems a lot of people think that antique means rusted farm tools.
15:36Oh, wait, hold on.
15:39What is a...
15:41Could be a hidden gem.
15:49Okay, where are we at?
15:51I found the street vendor who sold the ugly stick.
15:54Jesse's just grabbing some nearby security footage.
15:56There's an ATM camera looking right at him.
15:58See the ugly stick sitting on the table?
16:02Okay, still there.
16:05Still there.
16:06Okay, wait.
16:07That blonde woman is looking at it.
16:10Bender picks it up for her.
16:13And now she's gone, and so is the stick.
16:16Jesse, can you get a clear image of her from that?
16:17Mm-hmm.
16:18She might be one of the mummers who attacked Ellie.
16:20Just over this way.
16:20Okay.
16:22There she is.
16:23Jesse, distribute that, please.
16:24You got it.
16:25We found another potential target.
16:27Actually, Mom did.
16:28We just sent it to you.
16:29Oh, great.
16:30So it's something the mummers might want to steal.
16:32Roman coin collection.
16:34Nice.
16:35But counterintuitively, Roman coins are practically worthless.
16:39It's because of their immense abundance.
16:41That's a result of their long minting periods and large-scale distribution.
16:45Exactly right, Jesse.
16:46But the gold coin in the second row, that one there?
16:51That one's worth a fortune.
16:53What makes it so special?
16:55The image is double-struck.
16:56Right again.
16:57The malleus or the hammer struck the coin twice by mistake.
17:01Minting errors like that make collectors go crazy.
17:04How crazy?
17:05$25,000 to $30,000 at auction.
17:08And here's the kicker.
17:09The collector's house is in the middle of the mummer route happening tonight.
17:12I'm on it.
17:13If these mummers try anything, I will have uniforms on the inside.
17:15And believe me, it will not be serving punch.
17:18Sounds good.
17:18Rex and I will join the walk.
17:20You know, it's the whole gang by scent.
17:26Best stop these mommers before they double-strike.
17:29Anyone have a costume I can borrow?
17:31Oh, yeah.
17:32I thought you'd never ask.
17:34Okay.
17:35Laura, everything okay?
17:37I spoke to Matthew.
17:38He said he came to Newfoundland to give his daughter a magical Christmas.
17:41I mean, he is just about to start a prison sentence.
17:44Yeah, but there was something about his manner.
17:47And he was talking on the phone, agitated.
17:51So, how do you feel about staying at an old inn for a night or two?
17:55Pet friendly.
17:57You want to spend Christmas staking out a client?
17:59I'm sorry, Mark.
18:01What's up?
18:01Well, I'm worried.
18:03And we've got your back.
18:04Rex, and I'll see you there right after shift.
18:06Won't we, Rex?
18:08You guys are the best.
18:10And we just got a bit of a mummer hunt first.
18:18Here you go.
18:19You got that?
18:21Okay, Rex.
18:23Go track them.
18:25Go track them.
18:29Socks on my hands, mitts on my feet.
18:31I don't know, Jesse.
18:35We're all set at the Target house with the Roman coins.
18:38Uniforms are waiting inside.
18:40But there's no sign of the thieves yet, Mark.
18:42Over here at the park, Rex is searching, but no hits yet.
18:51Wait, wait, wait.
18:52I think he's got something.
19:02We're standing by.
19:03Let us know if you need backup.
19:11SJPD!
19:12Lady in the pink!
19:16Housecoat!
19:17Stay where you are!
19:21We're pursuing the suspect.
19:23Rex is blanking right, headed to the deserted end of the park.
19:47You're under arrest.
19:49The murderer.
19:51The Ellie Hughes.
19:52Murder?
19:53Murder?
19:54I didn't murder anyone.
19:56The woman whose house you broke into last night, she died of chloroform poisoning.
20:01Oh, my God.
20:02We caught the female mummer, but her two partners are now with her.
20:05Well, there's no sign of them at the house with a coin collection either.
20:08Okay, we've got the next target wrong.
20:11They might be striking somewhere else.
20:20You sure this is the right address?
20:22Of course I'm sure.
20:34Evening, Bart.
20:34Any mummers allowed in?
20:35Oh, uh, I heard the alert saying not to, so.
20:40No, no, help!
20:41Get in here!
20:42No, help!
20:51Angel, we need you to tell us the truth.
20:53I swear, I didn't know anyone was going to get hurt.
20:56I was surprised when he put the rag in her face.
20:59I wanted to call 911, but he just wouldn't let me.
21:03Who's he?
21:09Nicky?
21:10The man in the Santa pants is Nicky?
21:13I don't even know if that's his real name.
21:15So how did you get involved with him?
21:17I was told Nicky wanted a girl along, so the lady would be at ease.
21:23Ah, all in the name of fun, right?
21:25Yes, of course.
21:26Come on in.
21:28You have to believe me, I never would have done it if I had known.
21:32There was another mummer attack last night, Angel.
21:34An elderly man was assaulted, sent to hospital.
21:38I'm so sorry.
21:42Do you have any idea where we can find Nicky?
21:45No.
21:46Okay, how about the mummer in the gumboots?
21:50Tell me who he is.
21:52Angel, you need to protect yourself now.
21:54Okay, anyone who got you into this, they weren't looking out for you.
21:59You don't know that.
22:01And why did they set you up at the mummer's walk?
22:05I think they sent you there to take the fall.
22:08No.
22:09No, he wouldn't do that.
22:11He cares about me.
22:12Who cares about you?
22:13Nicky?
22:14Or the mummer in the gumboots?
22:18I want to go back to my cell.
22:19I don't have anything else to say.
22:26Yeah.
22:27Okay, what do we know about her?
22:29Her name's Angel Harlow.
22:3122 years old.
22:33Born here in St. John's.
22:34She spent her early years with her birth mother and then was placed in foster care.
22:38Clean record until now.
22:40She doesn't seem like the mastermind behind all this.
22:42That'd be Nicky.
22:44What do we know about last night's robbery?
22:46It took place three blocks away from our stakeout.
22:48So Nicky must have thought twice before trying to hide in the mummer's walk.
22:52Excuse me, guys.
22:53I've got to take this.
22:54Donovan.
22:55Okay, so the mummers got away with this.
22:59Italian, early 19th century.
23:01Sarah's mom said that that necklace can go for at least 60K.
23:04Wow.
23:05Yeah.
23:06Okay, well, question is, how do we find them?
23:08We should contact Angel's social worker.
23:10He might tell us who she's protecting.
23:13That was the mayor.
23:14I quote,
23:16These guys are using a time-honored Christmas tradition to assault and kill members of our community.
23:20You need to solve this pronto.
23:24Copy.
23:26Mark, by the way, I dug up that information that you wanted on Matthew...
23:30Sarah knows.
23:31Okay, Matthew Flanagan, the guy that he sold the houses to, Bob Ladrin, is definitely using an alias.
23:36But I pulled up the surveillance photo of the two of them meeting up in Halifax.
23:41Didn't get a good angle on Bob's face, unfortunately.
23:43Now, Laura said they only had the one meeting.
23:45Anything else on him?
23:46Not much, but I was able to trace the wire transfer that Matthew received.
23:50It originated in Monaco, and it came from a personal account, not a business.
23:54So, Matthew's solo Mystery Man story is true?
23:57Yeah, seems like it.
23:58And he did have family here.
23:59His grandfather, Malcolm Flanagan, lived in St. John's until he died in 1995.
24:04Okay, thanks, Jesse.
24:05Dig a little deeper into the bank account in Monaco.
24:07If we can see some other wire transfers, maybe we can learn Bob's location or figure out his particular flavor
24:12of crime.
24:13Follow the money, as they say.
24:16I'll pass this on to Laura tonight at the inn.
24:18Oh, no, I can do it.
24:19I can do it, because I'm on lunch break anyway, so I'll head to the inn.
24:22I really don't mind.
24:24Okay, I'm going to go do it.
24:25All right, excuse me.
24:29Anyone else feel like the inn is calling him for some reason?
24:31I'm guessing it's not the complimentary Wi-Fi.
24:49Oh, Jesse, you're back.
24:51Hey.
24:53I'm looking for Laura Haver.
24:54I have some information for her.
24:56She just left, I think.
24:58Oh, she did, huh?
24:59Yeah.
24:59Okay.
25:00What about Matthew Flanagan?
25:01Is he here?
25:01He left right before her.
25:03He did?
25:04Hmm.
25:05I think.
25:08Okay, well, I guess I'll just, I guess I'll head back to the station.
25:15See ya.
25:21Jesse!
25:27I was wondering if you want to come by tonight for a get-together.
25:30We're having an honor of Tibbs' Eve.
25:33All the guests were-
25:34Tibbs' Eve.
25:34You know about Tibbs' Eve?
25:36The unofficial start to the festive season in Newfoundland, named after St. Tibb, the comic
25:41relief character from the 17th century plays?
25:43Which later evolved into the term Tibbs' Eve, originally kind of a joke, meaning the day
25:46that never comes.
25:48Wow.
25:50That's incredible.
25:51That's incredible.
25:51Well done.
25:54Tibbs' Eve is-
25:55Tomorrow night, I know, but I gave most of the staff the night off, so we're celebrating
25:58early.
25:59Tibbs' Eve, Eve.
26:01Um, and you can bring the rest of the team, or a girlfriend.
26:04No.
26:05No, no, I don't have a girlfriend, no.
26:08Oh.
26:08No.
26:12I will be there.
26:13That sounds great.
26:14And, uh, can you maybe let Laura know that I'm looking for her?
26:17Absolutely.
26:18Okay.
26:18Okay, I will see you Tibbs' Eve.
26:21Eve.
26:21Eve.
26:22Tibbs' Eve, Eve.
26:39Matthew, what are you doing?
26:42No.
26:56I talked with a social worker.
26:58She said Angel's been working at that Christmas tree farm just outside of town.
27:00Sounds like it's time for Rex and me to go Christmas tree shopping.
27:05Mind if I ask you a few questions?
27:06Happy to help.
27:07Okay, great.
27:08I'm wondering if you could tell me something about one of your workers here, a young lawn
27:10lady.
27:12Oh, yeah.
27:13Angel.
27:13Sure.
27:14Missed her last few shifts.
27:16Yeah?
27:17So I'm going to talk to someone who might know her.
27:19Well, that's Kevin.
27:21She's shy with everyone else.
27:23Kevin.
27:23Her brother.
27:24Any idea how I might get a hold of, uh, Kevin?
27:26Sure.
27:27No problem.
27:29Kevin!
27:30Yeah?
27:31Cops want to talk to you.
27:38We're all done.
27:45Yeah.
27:46Yeah.
27:58No.
27:59No.
28:01No.
28:02Uh, Gumboots' mama, I presume.
28:05Not yet.
28:06Two mamers down, one to go.
28:09Nice work, Bryce.
28:16Turns out, Gumboots is Angel's long-lost foster brother, Kevin.
28:21So no wonder she was protecting him.
28:23He's probably the only family she has.
28:25According to Jess, he's got a pretty hefty record.
28:28Breaking in her possession.
28:30Was he willing to give up Nikki?
28:31Uh, not yet.
28:32I'm hoping he'll be a little more talkative in an interrogation.
28:36Laura.
28:37Hey, Laura.
28:38Rex, let's go.
28:39Everything okay?
28:40I'm fine.
28:41Matthew, on the other hand, just took delivery of a suspicious package on a run down the street.
28:46A banker's box.
28:47And then Matthew handed over what looked like an envelope of cash.
28:52It looks like I read this guy wrong, Mark.
28:54I thought he was trying to flee, but maybe he is tied up in something more.
28:58Well, everything Jesse's found so far validates the story, but I agree.
29:01The box in the cash sounds suspicious.
29:03Why don't we talk with him again, but this time together?
29:05So much for his family's magical Christmas in St. John's.
29:08Yeah.
29:14Where's my sister?
29:15Is she okay?
29:16Angel's fine, but she's, uh, she's facing some pretty serious charges thanks to you.
29:20Breaking and entering theft and accessory to murder.
29:25Uh, all in the name of fun, right?
29:28Yes, of course.
29:29Come on in.
29:31It wasn't supposed to go down like that.
29:33What about the man you assaulted last night?
29:35That was Nikki, not me.
29:37And Angel wasn't even there.
29:38Yeah, because you set her up to take the fall, let her go to the Mummer's Walk alone.
29:42No, I was trying to protect her.
29:46I wanted Nikki to see that we could do it without her.
29:50She's still a participant in the first home invasion, Kevin.
29:53She's culpable.
29:54All Angel wanted was to go to school and become a pastry chef.
29:59I just thought I could help get her the money.
30:02Kevin, if you really want to help your sister, you need to tell us everything you know about Nikki.
30:06Fine.
30:07I'll tell you what I know.
30:09But first, we make a deal.
30:14And whatever you're going to give to me, you're going to give to Angel instead.
30:24Happy to report Angel's brother gave up the ringleader.
30:28Or a big one for the missus.
30:32So this is Nikki.
30:34A.K.A. Nicholas Budgen.
30:36Record as long as your arm.
30:37Burglary, assault.
30:39Let's find him and add murder to that list of accomplishments.
30:43Yeah, I mean, Kevin didn't know where Nikki's living, but said his dad owned a pawn shop.
30:46That's where he got his insider knowledge for spotting expensive antiques.
30:49Yeah, there's a pawn shop on Empire Avenue owned by Owen Budgen, but it closed last August.
30:54Okay, where's Owen now?
30:58Mount Pleasant Cemetery.
30:59He died three years ago.
31:01Apparently, he left his business to his son, Edward Nicholas Budgen, who promptly ran it into the ground.
31:07I've got to check him with Laura first, but keep on it, Jesse, while I go talk to a man
31:12about a box.
31:21Matthew, SJPD, would you like a few words?
31:26What's this about, Laura?
31:28It's about whatever's in the back of your SUV.
31:30I followed you, Matthew.
31:32Who what?
31:33I needed to reassure myself that you weren't going to flee.
31:36I saw you making that deal.
31:37I don't believe this.
31:39Can you open it, Matthew?
31:40Or I'll open it myself.
31:42Fine.
31:43No problem.
31:44But promise me you'll keep this from my family.
31:46They don't know anything about this.
32:09Come here.
32:12You were buying a puppy from a man in a van?
32:14From a breeder who drove in from out of town.
32:16He just picked a spot close to his sister's house and sent me a pin.
32:19A very spontaneous purchase for a last-minute trip on Christmas.
32:22I planned it before we came.
32:24Cooper always wanted a dog, and I'm going to give it to her to man for a party.
32:27Holly here is going to help keep her company while I'm gone.
32:32That's very sweet.
32:36Your ex, meet Holly.
32:39Holly, meet...
32:40Yeah.
32:41Yes, you like each other.
32:43Better get her in out of this cold, if that's okay.
32:46Hoping there's one more room in the inn where I can keep her till tonight.
32:49Here.
32:56I guess you read him right after all.
33:01Sarah, wait up.
33:04I did more digging into Nicky.
33:05It turns out he inherited a second property, this old house on a dead-end street.
33:10Oh, why didn't it come up in your original search?
33:12Apparently, it was repossessed in four clothes.
33:14It's just sitting there abandoned.
33:16It doesn't look completely abandoned.
33:17So you think this is where Nicky's Santa pants might be hiding?
33:20Cops have dropped by multiple times from noise complaints over the last two years.
33:25Sounds like a squat.
33:27Okay, send the address to Mark and notify the tag team.
33:30This is our new target.
33:31Let's see if we find our secret Santa.
33:38Stay alert.
33:40Hey, everything okay with Laura?
33:43Oh yeah, all good.
33:44Apparently, uh, Matthew slipped out of the inn in a rush to buy a puppy named Holly.
33:48And Rex loves her.
33:50Story checked out, reader confirmed.
33:52Okay.
33:53What are we looking at here?
33:54Some kind of holiday party inside.
33:56Tactical team is five minutes away.
33:59They'll help us flush out the revelers.
34:00Hey, go!
34:10Or Christmas could come early.
34:12Yeah.
34:13Buddy hit this, Skipper!
34:14Yeah?
34:16Gosh.
34:18SJPD, hands behind your back.
34:21Let's go.
34:47Get off me, you're making money!
34:51Hey, stop!
34:52I didn't do anything!
34:54So, this is Nikki.
34:57I would think so.
34:59And I'm guessing this will match the chloroform that killed Ellie Hughes.
35:04You know, I always wanted to catch Santa in the act, but this is, uh, much sweeter.
35:10Come on, you.
35:24I wanted you to know your brother really stood up for you.
35:29He did?
35:31He never should have got you involved in all this, but...
35:33It was my decision.
35:35It's on me.
35:37Well, I'm glad to hear you say that.
35:40Kevin's fighting for you.
35:41And I will, too.
35:43But...
35:44You've got to start making the choices that will keep you out of trouble.
35:48Yeah.
35:49I know.
35:50I got a judge to release you to a group home for the holidays.
35:54It's the best we can do.
35:57But...
35:58At least you won't be alone.
36:02I don't feel alone.
36:05Kind of for the first time ever.
36:24You said Jesse made this?
36:25Mm.
36:27It's good, but it's a little chalky.
36:30Chalky.
36:30Yeah.
36:31Yeah.
36:32Hey, guys.
36:33Ooh.
36:34Like the lattes?
36:35Mm.
36:35Very nice, right?
36:36Mm.
36:37Mm.
36:38Mm.
36:39Mm.
36:39Lab results came back.
36:40Turns out the chloroform found in Nicky's pocket is from the same batch that killed Ellie Hughes.
36:44Yeah, all set.
36:45Nicky's going away for a while.
36:47And forensics recovered the stolen clock and the emerald necklace from the warehouse, so they are going to be returned
36:53back to the owners as well as Ellie's next of kin.
36:55That's a great job.
36:57The mayor will be thrilled.
36:58Just in time for Tibbs Eve Eve.
37:00Cheers.
37:01Cheers.
37:02Mm.
37:03Yeah.
37:05Right?
37:06Oh, by the way, Mark.
37:08Mm.
37:08These are a couple more transactions from the bank in Monaco.
37:11Check out the highlighted bits.
37:12Oh, that's the lower thing, right?
37:13Yeah.
37:15Okay, another 20K transaction, but this time to St. John's.
37:18Yeah.
37:19Once again, suspicious.
37:20And that was from just days ago, so it could mean Bob is right here in the city.
37:24I'm going to explain who Matthew's been talking to.
37:26I'll ask him about it at the party tonight.
37:28And also Sarah and Paige will be there, too.
37:30Okay.
37:30So what are we wearing?
37:32Are we going to go festive casual or Christmas cocktail?
37:36I just want to make a good impression, you know, of the police.
37:40For the guests.
37:43You guys want to top up?
37:44No.
37:45I got a lot.
37:45Yeah.
37:46That's very sweet.
37:47Enjoy.
37:48It sure is.
37:49Guys, who wants some pumpkin spice?
37:51That's good.
38:09Well, this is absolutely lovely.
38:12Yeah, and she did everything.
38:14Now, this is the kind of Newfoundland tradition I was hoping to share with you.
38:17Oh, okay.
38:17This is my favorite time of year.
38:19I think it's hers, too.
38:20Is this something you do every year?
38:22I love snow.
38:24So, what happens on Tibbs' Eve?
38:26I'm not exactly sure, but it involves a lot of alcohol.
38:31Looks like there's a party going on.
38:34What do you want me to steal, anyway?
38:36I don't care.
38:37Just make it look like one of those mama robbers all over the news.
38:40And Oliver, he can't walk out of there alive.
38:45You got it, Bob.
38:46You can get on me.
38:52Oh, here he comes.
38:54I think I can guess what's in that box.
38:58She loves so much like you.
38:59It's amazing.
39:00Very, very nice.
39:01It's in the eyes, for sure.
39:04You okay in there, Holly?
39:06Cooper, honey, your father has something for you.
39:10Don't ruin the surprise.
39:18Here you go, sweetie.
39:20Nobody move!
39:21Juju, stay back.
39:22Hey, take it easy.
39:23Get back.
39:23Just drop the gun.
39:24Nobody gets hurt.
39:25You do everything I tell you to do.
39:27Easy, Rex.
39:29Easy, buddy.
39:29Keep your dog back for it.
39:30Start shooting.
39:31I think you may have picked the wrong end for shakedown, my friend.
39:35Why don't you step back?
39:36There are five police officers here, so why don't you just lower your gun?
39:39Get back!
39:40Okay.
39:41Okay.
39:42Okay.
39:42Careful, Jussie.
39:44Step back!
39:45Lower your weapon.
39:47Give me the box.
39:49Hold.
39:50You don't understand.
39:50Just give me the box!
39:52Let's think about this.
39:53Matthew, do as he says.
40:03You got him?
40:04Oh, my God, is he okay?
40:05Is he okay?
40:07Are you okay?
40:08Are you still breathing?
40:09Oh, yeah, Max, go!
40:10Yeah.
40:10Rex, wait for us!
40:13Matthew, stay with me.
40:15Okay.
40:17Right away.
40:25Rex!
40:31Who'd shoot somebody for a puppy?
40:33It wasn't about taking a puppy.
40:34It was about shooting Matthew.
40:37This was a targeted hit.
40:55So far, let's go...
40:56little door...
40:56All night.
40:58I got another chick.
40:58We can't stop you.
40:59I got another chick.
41:00Yeah, we won't be there.
41:01I got one.
41:01I got a love.
