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

32:41There must be something I missed.
33:31There must be something I missed.
33:43Here we go.
35:41You write like you're not using your dominant hand.
35:43My handwriting?
35:44You should see the chicken scratch he puts down.
36:01Thanks for coming back in.
36:03Of course.
36:04Happy to help.
36:07So listen, we just need to tie up a few loose ends.
36:10I need to know who had access to your inventory room.
36:13Every manager has a key.
36:15Managers.
36:16So not Scooter.
36:18Um, Scooter, he, uh...
36:21Do me a favor and take a look at this photograph.
36:26What's this?
36:27That's Nadine Kowalski.
36:28She's the CEO of the Kowalski Corporation.
36:32Does that name ring any bells?
36:35Maybe you need to take a closer look.
36:38See those two gentlemen in the background?
36:39You recognize them?
36:41One of them is Gerald Fortner, and the other one looks like you.
36:46But the thing is...
36:48At first, I couldn't figure out how a small business owner with no discernible ties to the Kowalski Corporation
36:55manages to get invited to one of their black-tie gala events.
36:58It's a real head-scratcher.
37:01But then I got the location data from both of your cell phones.
37:05You were both in the exact same location at the exact same time on five separate occasions.
37:10Well, Crystal Ridge is a small community. That's just a coincidence.
37:13It could be a coincidence, yes.
37:16Let's talk about your paragliding accident.
37:20I think it's safe to say that there aren't 12 stitches underneath that bandage.
37:25That is a hydrochloric acid burn from tampering with Steve's bungee cord.
37:30I could get a warrant, get the bandage removed, but I don't need to.
37:34We found footage from outside Scooter's RV from an old hunting cam.
37:38At first, it was hard to tell who it was, but then I noticed something.
37:41A bandage on the man's left arm.
37:44Same one that you have right here.
37:46It also doesn't help that we have a video of you buying the hydrochloric acid.
37:53I'm gonna level with you, Benji.
37:55We all know you were involved in this thing.
37:58You could get a reduced sentence if you name your accomplice and cooperate.
38:03I'm not sure how many paragliding opportunities there are in a federal prison.
38:07As for Gerald, well, he's got money, so he'll take care of his hive, not yours.
38:17Okay.
38:18Okay.
38:19You're right.
38:21I've known Gerald since we were kids.
38:23He told me that Nate Dean's brother was planning to move against her.
38:28So I offered help.
38:34Gerald, he came up with how to get rid of the problem of an accident.
38:37It was all his idea, I swear.
38:41What about the hydrochloric acid you planted in Scooter's RV?
38:44He wanted it to look like an accident, but Gerald, he figured we should probably have a contingency plan just
38:50in case.
38:51How'd you do it?
38:56Scooter's a space cadet.
38:59I took the key from the RV out of his key ring.
39:03Left work, got a copy, put it back.
39:05Didn't notice a thing.
39:10The night before the jump, I snuck into Scooter's RV and I planted the acid.
39:17In this happy and golden accident, no one would have even known he was there in the first place.
39:25Look, when Gerald came to me, I was days away from bankruptcy.
39:29I needed the money to save my business.
39:32He convinced me.
39:35He was doing it for his wife.
39:38He was going to lose the company.
39:39He knew it would destroy her.
39:44One more thing.
39:45I told Gerald that you were bringing me in for questioning.
39:50Who's planning on flying out tonight?
39:56I think we're done here.
40:12Benji 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.
40:22Now all we have to do is find Gerald and slap the cuffs on him.
40:26We still have time.
40:27We still have time.
40:41Oh, great.
40:43What is it now?
40:45It's probably a DUI checkpoint.
40:47What?
40:47Don't go to jail.
40:58Fire!
41:05Don't go to jail.
41:11Fire!
41:16Deirdre!
41:17Haven't you people harassed us enough?
41:19Apologies.
41:20I'm going to 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.
41:44What?
41:44How?
41:46Benji?
41:48He didn't.
41:49Oh, he did.
41:52Gerald, what's she saying?
42:02You...
42:04You did this.
42:08To my brother?
42:11I was trying to help.
42:13Whoa.
42:14He was going to get you thrown out of the company.
42:22I guess money can't buy you everything, hey, Gerald?
42:28You have the right to remain silent.
42:30Anything you say will be used against you in a court of law.
42:33You have the right to an attorney.
42:34If you cannot afford one, one will be provided for you.
42:38Do you understand these rights as they have been read to you?
42:49Help.
42:50Help.
42:51Help.
42:52Help.
42:54Help.
42:55Help.
42:56Oh, God.
42:57Help.
42:59Help.
42:59Help.
42:59Help.
43:00Help.
43:00Help.
43:03Help.
43:06Help.
43:32I don't understand.
43:37I've known this dog a long time.
43:39Happiest guy in the world, never an off day.
43:43But ever since I took him this morning,
43:44he hasn't been himself.
43:46He couldn't even lift his head off the car seat
43:49for some beef jerky.
43:51Him turning down jerky?
43:53Yeah.
43:55Fact is, there's only one place I've seen this dog happy
43:58since before he ran away.
44:01That's right here.
44:05The best way to honor my friend's memory
44:09isn't by giving this dog the best life I can give him.
44:12It's giving the life he wants.
44:17Blue belongs with you.
44:22Honey.
44:30Sorry, I don't normally...
44:32This is a special dog.
44:35He'll teach you things about yourself you never knew before.
44:39Let's adore him.
45:13You're back.
45:16You're back.
45:26You're back.
45:46Hey.
45:50Yes.
45:51I hate to say it.
45:53Happy to see chaos is back.
45:56Well, expect to see a lot more of him
45:59because if we pass,
46:00he's officially gonna join K-9.
46:03We should be so lucky.
46:12See?
46:13Yes.
46:16I'll get some plates.
46:19I'll get you in.
46:20I'll get you in.
46:20I'll get you in.
46:20I'll get you in.
46:21Yeah.
46:21I'll get you in.
46:55I'll get you in.
46:57I'll get you in.
46:59I'll get you in.
