02:11And...
02:23What do we got?
02:25You heard of Steve Kowalski?
02:26I'm a real estate developer, right?
02:28Multi-millionaire real estate developer.
02:30This company's been buying up land in the area.
02:33He'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.
02:41Meeks and Esposito are talking to witnesses.
02:44I want you to talk to the wife and the operator.
02:46Copy that.
02:53Mrs. Kowalski?
02:54I 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.
03:06I just...
03:08I can't believe it.
03:11I...
03:11I...
03:16I mean, we made our way up, and he just...
03:24I...
03:30Ah...
03:31Mrs. Kowalski, I know you're upset about your brother.
03:38my sister-in-law planned this whole thing for his birthday it was my suggestion
03:44you always like to do these crazy things
03:51can't believe can you run me through it from your point of view
04:00i moved to crystal ridge a few months ago i wanted to start fresh so i packed up the rv
04:05and
04:05came out here so how long after moving here did you start working for benji's bungees
04:10a few weeks after i set up camp and benji's great he's one of the best bosses i've ever had
04:16so you've only worked here what a couple of months i'm a certified jump master i know what i'm doing
04:22i followed all the protocols even when steve said that he didn't want any help i still
04:27double-checked everything i saw i recover the body several miles downstream we need to move
04:57thanks
05:08how was it buddy
05:23something's up with this cord you're going with your gut again because blue hasn't failed us yet
05:29and you know it what i was about to say was i'm listening you're right chaos here's a good cop
05:37all right look i'm no expert on this stuff so what are you thinking
05:43scooter said they replace the cords every six months industry standard is once a year but benji
05:48errs on the side of caution he said the cords only two months old blue hasn't left this spot and
05:53that means something we'll get it sent to forensics asap all right esposito meeks get some more intel
06:00from the family larson you stay on scene where we convene at headquarters copy that
06:15what a way to start the day yeah it was a rough one listen blue was sniffing around the cord
06:21that
06:22steve kowalski used this is your world
06:31something definitely seems off but how brittle the rubber is and there's a slight discoloration
06:38what would cause
06:39no idea but it's not regular wear and tear we'll soon find out
06:57you
06:58maverick
06:58oh boy
06:59oh

07:14blue you said
07:16yeah
07:18long story a bit
07:18that's what i've been calling him
07:20said his name was maverick and he lives up to it doesn't surprise me that he's helping on a job
07:26he's a heck of a canine served his country with honor i should have known he was military
07:32you too four years yeah i can see it i'm glad i put in my time
07:41when was he decommissioned same day that is handling my best friend randall medically
07:47discharged randall's my best friend well was until we met this for a ball
07:53after that i couldn't compete randall adopted him
07:59you'd be happy to know that he turned up safe and sound
08:02he would be
08:06um randall passed away recently unexpectedly then maverick just disappeared we had no idea where he
08:14went until now
08:18i'm sorry for your loss
08:20thank you
08:22i promised randall if anything happened to him i would take care of maverick and give him the best
08:27life possible so that's why i'm here
08:36that's funny you should do that with randall as well
08:44you know i don't have to go right away
08:46hey you can spend a little more time for him if you want
08:52thank you but i should go i'm on the clock
09:03i guess this is goodbye
09:08i don't think i'd be here today if it weren't for you
09:20thanks for taking care of him
09:23i'd say it was my pleasure but it was far more than that
09:30all right come on boy let's go
09:42it's okay buddy you can go
10:16crazy about that kowalski guy huh
10:19just another day in paradise hey where's bloom
10:23he's not coming in anymore what do you mean what happened his owner saw my post or his owner's
10:29friend i guess either way he's back where he belongs which was the goal to begin with
10:34i didn't even get to say goodbye
10:37thought you'd be happy not to clean slobber off your desk anymore
10:39i thought i would be too but i'm gonna miss him
10:42i'm gonna miss who
10:44blue what happened his owner picked him up
10:48oh i'm sorry it's okay i'm sorry larson you okay i'll be fine
10:58okay so i spoke with ryan miller and he agrees that the bungee break looks off
11:02well it's gonna take a while for forensics to confirm so let's keep an open mind about everything
11:07including persons of interest person of interest
11:14jenna kowalski when jenna and steve got married she had to sign an airtight prenup which is standard
11:19for a guy of steve's net worth there goes motives not exactly last month the lovebirds took out a
11:24massive life insurance policy on steve so maybe jenna's trying to cash in okay one motive tracks but what
11:32about means she had to be partnered with someone who had access to equipment there's a scooter written
11:36all over it that dude was nervous possibly there's something off about that guy meeks interview all
11:42the employees at benji's bungees talk to anyone who had access to that court and keep the rest of
11:47the team updated esposito dig deeper into that family and larson the wife is staying at cliff's edge
11:54dig deeper but try it lightly copy all right let's go
12:20how are you holding up everyone's calling me asking me questions paying their respects
12:30and this must be so difficult
12:32i know you're hurting a lot right now but a few facts have come to light that we need to
12:41discuss
12:44okay is there anything you could tell me that might help with our investigation
12:53my husband was an amazing man he was also a very powerful wealthy man
13:02what what 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 you think i killed steve i don't think anything right now
13:24i'm just gathering facts no this is crazy you've got this all wrong i loved steve he didn't even want
13:31a prenup his father is the one that forced us to sign it steve got the life insurance policy because
13:37he
13:37wanted to protect me
13:45this is you know what i can't do this
13:52please please just find out what happened to steve
13:56this is
14:20tell me you managed to get a copy
14:22if anyone finds out i'm in some serious trouble i know you're sworn in but this is stretching it
14:28she sounded out like i told you to you i'm not a moron you know ran it as a domestic
14:31pattern
14:32check tied to another case to cover myself good i appreciate it i wouldn't ask if it wasn't
14:38important it better be because both our necks are on the line
14:57you're not a moron you're not a moron you're not a moron you're not a moron you're not a moron
15:05thank you
15:11meeks you there yeah i'm here
15:14forensics confirmed the bungee that killed steve kowelski was highly eroded due to hydrochloric acid
15:20the acid has a way of degrading the internal structure of the cord meaning the outside of
15:25the cable would look intact but the inside would crumble sorry i was a chemistry major nerd
15:31well whoever did this wanted it to look like an accident and they knew that hydrochloric acid would
15:35be the best way to do it that's premeditation and access to equipment i'll send patrol units to all
15:42stores in the area that carry hydrochloric acid and see if we can connect it to one of her suspects
15:48did you get anywhere with benji's employees yeah one just got back from vacation her alibi checks
15:53out the other works as a computer guy on weekends doesn't know jack about bungees and
15:57i'd venture to guess he knows even less about hydrochloric acid what about benji he wasn't in
16:02they say to be back in a bit i get the feeling he's scared of his business going under getting
16:06sued
16:07so he's not hanging around unnecessarily who's next on the list the man the myth the legend
16:13scooter heading to his residence now all right keep us posted copy larson i want you to find benji
16:20interview him press him about scooter will do
16:48we should talk
16:54we've been averaging about 70 jumps a day let's talk about scooter scooter bit of a space cadet but
17:03i was told by everyone there he followed protocol to the letter this was just an unfortunate accident
17:09something like this happened before never happened to me
17:14so are you worried about that everybody knows the kowalski family it's it's a powerful name
17:23i still want something to happen to my business it's it's my everything
17:30look i just want you to know that the danger it's part of the appeal it's what people do extreme
17:35sports
17:36it's in the first place even this park gliding accident 12 stitches you know how many times
17:42i've got park lighting it doesn't matter how much experience you have the risk it's the reward
17:58so
17:59i
17:59i
17:59i
18:00i
18:16i
18:29Hey, boy.
18:30Got some beef jerky for you.
18:32Here you go.
18:37Come on, boy.
18:42No, huh?
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.
19:16No violent incidents, just arrests for protests and demonstration.
19:19But get this.
19:20The last arrest occurred at the most recent demo site for Kowalski condominiums.
19:24He protested Steve's company?
19:26Turns out Scooter isn't too happy about the Kowalski Corporation developing land around town.
19:30So he's an activist.
19:32But a murderer?
19:33It's motive.
19:34Plus, if he wasn't involved, why run?
19:36Good point.
19:37We'll put a bolo out for Scooter in his RV.
19:39You're gonna want to see this.
19:40What is it?
19:42Benji's Bungie's booking records.
19:44Nadine's the one who booked the trip.
19:46And she told me her sister-in-law booked it.
19:49But wait, wait.
19:50There's more.
19:50So Steve and Nadine's father stepped down as the CEO of the Kowalski Corporation two
19:55years ago.
19:56And guess who took over after the Patriarch retired?
19:59Daddy's little girl.
20:00Bingo.
20:01And since Nadine has been steering the ship, the company has been taking on water.
20:07Of course, Steve wasn't happy that he was passed over for the CEO position.
20:12And since the stock prices have been tanking, he has been quietly campaigning to flip as
20:18many board members as he can to push his sister out of the top position.
20:23So the sister knew that Steve was trying to kick her out.
20:26And she booked the Bungie birthday.
20:29Let's bring him in today.
20:36It's a beautiful place, Bill.
20:39It was love at first sight for Claire.
20:41We bought her on the spot.
20:43It was her getaway.
20:45Now, just like the house, everywhere I look, just memories.
20:49I see her everywhere.
20:53Where did you get these?
20:55I got them.
20:56Let's leave it at that.
20:58Is that why you've been at Whispering Pines so many times?
21:00Yeah.
21:03That day, I didn't register right away what happened.
21:09But a few months ago, I was on a climb, a similar face to where your wife fell.
21:16And I saw it differently.
21:19It doesn't make sense.
21:21That's why I can't let it go.
21:24Why was an MPS on this?
21:26It was in the park.
21:27Landed on County.
21:29Why?
21:30I don't know.
21:33Something's off.
21:59Scooter taking off gives us probable cause.
22:01I'm going to check out the RV.
22:03All right.
22:03Leave scooter to me.
22:08Scooter, scooter, scooter.
22:10Where are you running off to?
22:12Where are you running off to?
22:39Where are you running off to?
22:43Where are you running off to?
22:45Oh, shit.
23:08Access to equipment, documented hatred for the victim, flight to avoid prosecution,
23:15and the murder weapon, hydrocholic acid, under your sink.
23:19What do you mean, murder weapon?
23:21At this point, cooperation is your best friend.
23:24I didn't do anything.
23:26Then why did you run?
23:29I was the guy's jumpmaster.
23:31I figured that you'd do a quick search and see that I protested the Kowalski Corporation.
23:35So you ran?
23:37That makes you look guilty.
23:39I didn't say it was the smartest thing to do.
23:42Look, even if I did buy your story, it still doesn't explain the hydrocholic acid in your RV.
23:50What?
23:52Scooter, come on.
23:54I found it under your sink myself.
23:58I've never seen this before.
24:04When you're ready to talk, you let me know.
24:35I'm going to talk to you later.
24:50I have to say I'm not very impressed my brother is dead I almost know nothing about what happened
24:55and who is to blame I tried explaining to her that these things happen and it's no one's fault
25:00with all due respect Mr. Fortner your wife has every reason to be angry
25:06this has been ruled as a homicide what I thought it was an accident no it's murder it's his wife
25:16I mean I never liked her Ms. Kowalski I know you want answers and so do we so if the
25:22two of you
25:22could answer some of our questions maybe we can answer some of yours of course we'll do anything
25:27to help Nadine loved her brother and then Steve was one of my closest friends
25:34Ms. Kowalski when did you book the trip well I didn't but it was a gift for my brother's wedding
25:39he got married sometime last year you told me that your sister-in-law booked the trip
25:45I can't remember okay so you don't remember booking the trip or any of the trip's activities
25:53Nadine's assistant handles all that maybe she did it
25:58well the call to Benji's bungees it came from your personal cell phone
26:04and I don't understand why any of this matters
26:06why bungee jumping why Benji's bungee specifically someone suggested it I I can't remember who
26:15it was Steve yeah and we did what he wanted
26:19he always got what he wanted
26:24ever since we were kids
26:36excuse me I think I'd like to leave
26:47if there's anything else we can do you know how to reach us
26:59Brian it's Bill
27:02hey Bill
27:02I've been looking at the files
27:05and?
27:06and I think it's worth taking a look
27:08I know Sheriff Al he's a friend I could talk to him
27:11at some point yes
27:13but to get anyone to take this seriously
27:16friend or not
27:17especially what I'm suggesting let's do the work ourselves
27:20put the pieces together and then maybe they'll listen
27:24okay
27:26and Ryan
27:27thank you
27:28means a lot
27:44I think I've got something
27:46check this out
27:47it's from last night
27:54is that Scooter's RV?
27:55mhm
27:56I didn't realize that part of the park had surveillance

28:02straight shot to Scooter's RV
28:04watch this

28:09mhm
28:12the image isn't clear
28:14no but it's a guy who looks like Scooter
28:16entering Scooter's RV
28:17with a jug similar to the one you found with hydrochloric acid
28:20what more do you need?
28:22Scooter knew what equipment they were using the next morning
28:24he could have stolen the keys to the store
28:25grabbed the bungee and doused it in acid the next morning
28:29timeline fits
28:34any word from those patrol units?
28:36mhm?

40:41Ah, great.
40:43What is it now?
40:44Probably a DUI checkpoint
41:17Haven't you people harassed us enough?
41:19Apologies
41:20I'm gonna need you to step out of the car
41:23This is ridiculous
41:26Step out of the car
41:27What's going on?
41:35Gerald Fortner
41:36You're under arrest for the murder of Steve Kowalski
41:39Have you lost your mind?
41:41I suggest you stay right there unless you'd like to join him
41:43What?
41:44How?
41:46Benji?
41:48He didn't
41:49Oh, he did
41:52Gerald, what's she saying?
42:01You
42:04You did this
42:06To my brother?
42:11I was trying to help
42:13Well
42:14He was gonna get you thrown out of the company
42:23Guess money can't buy you everything, eh, 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?
42:51Oh, God
42:52Ha, ha, ha, ha
42:53Ha, ha, ha, ha
43:25Hi, baby.
43:27Hi, baby.
43:28Hi.
43:31Hi.
43:31Hi.
43:35I don't understand.
43:37I've known this dog a long time.
43:39Happiest guy in the world.
43:40Never heard 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
43:48off the car seat for some beef jerky.
43:51Him turning down jerky?
43:53Yeah.
43:55Fact is,
43:56there's only one place I've seen this dog happy
43:58since before he ran away.
44:01That's right here.
44:06Best way to honor my friend's memory
44:09isn't by giving this dog
44:10the best life I can give him.
44:12It's giving the life he wants.
44:17Blue belongs with you.
44:22Honey.
44:23Honey.
44:30Sorry, I don't normally...
44:32This is a special dog.
44:35He'll teach you things about yourself
44:36you never knew before.
44:39Listen to him.
44:52Oh!
45:14You're back.
45:16You're back.
45:17You're back.
45:24You're back.
45:46Hey!
45:50Yes.
45:51I hate to say it.
45:54Happy to see chaos is back.
45:56Well,
45:57expect 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.
46:15All right.
46:16I'll get some clay.
46:18I can't wait.
46:20I can't wait.
46:21Yeah!
46:21No!
