[CAR APPROACHING]

- [g*n f*ring]
- [GLASS BREAKING]

[MAN PANTING AND GASPING]

It wasn't supposed to be this way!

Come on, let's just talk about it!

[g*n FIRES]

[FOG HORN WAILING IN DISTANCE]

[RAIN FALLING]

You think it's too late to cook dinner?

Don't you even think
about ordering delivery.

You promised risotto.
I'm holding you to it.

Yeah, but I wasn't expecting
to be at the station that late.

Rex, you break the tie.

[EERIE MUSIC]

[REX BARKS]

[REX BARKS]

What is it?

Wait, is someone inside?

Call for backup.

[CHARLIE WHISTLES]

Yeah, hi, I've got a B
and E and I need backup.


[REX WHINES]

SJPD! Drop the w*apon!

Drop the w*apon now!

Sarah. We've got a g*nsh*t wound.

His pulse is weak and thready.
He's alive but barely.

[MAN GROANS]

Charlie.

I wanted to make it here in
time but he tried to stop me.

It's coming for you, Charlie.

It's on the way.

He's gone.

Charlie, he knew your name. Who is he?

I don't know.

I've never seen this man in my life.

[UPBEAT THEME MUSIC]

[INDISTINCT POLICE RADIO]

[REX WHINES]

CHARLIE: Yeah, I know, I know, pal.

We've just gotta
let forensics do their job.

DONOVAN: Charlie.

- Hey.
- I came as soon as I heard.

- You're all right?
- Yeah, I'm obviously taken off guard

but we're okay.

Okay, we're gonna have our
best on this case.

- Did you give your statement yet?
- Joe, I, um,

I think I need to be on the case.

That's not a good idea, Charlie.

We don't know yet why this
man entered your home.


I heard he had a g*n.

I don't think it was intended for me.

You can't know that for sure.

- Did he say something?
- Yeah, he said that

he was trying to stop him

whoever that is.

And something is coming for me.

And that doesn't sound like a thr*at?

It sounded like a warning.

Joe, this man he found my address.

He came to the house.
He called me by name.

He was here because he needed help.

I feel like I've got
to follow that through.

Okay.

Okay, but I need you to stay sharp.

Hmm?

- Thanks, Joe.
- Yeah.

Okay, pal. Good to go.

So, we got a name for
our surprise guest?

No phone, no wallet, no ID.

Of course. How long was
he here before we arrived?


Based on the rate of blood loss

I'd say about half an hour.

So, we just missed him.

- Yeah.
- [REX BARKS]

What have you got?

[REX BARKS]

[REX BARKS]

Lock picking tools.

That explains how he got in.

John Doe wasn't sh*t here.

No. There was no sign of blood spatter.

He was sh*t with a 9mm
caliber at close range.

That means he picked my front door lock

with a b*llet in him.

That's a real professional.

With the shock he'd be in,

pro is putting it lightly.

I mean, he can't have
gone far with that b*llet.

That means he was sh*t nearby.

Rex.

- Track it.
- [REX BARKS]

[REX SNIFFING]

- [REX BARKS]
- Hey.

[REX SNIFFS]

[REX BARKS]

The vehicle's abandoned.

Two sh*ts. One got John Doe.

One took out a side mirror.

For a car that's no longer here.

Our John Doe drove here.

He was followed by a k*ller in that SUV.

The k*ller left the SUV behind

and took the car that John Doe drove.

It's not a carjacking.

Maybe there was something
in the victim's car


the k*ller didn't want us to find.

Whatever it was,

the person who followed our victim

wanted to stop him before he got to me.

[CHARLIE SIGHS]

[DRAMATIC MUSIC]

Still no ID on our John Doe?

No, no. Facial recognition
software was a total bust.

Our victim isn't even in the database.

- No hits on his fingerprints.
- Any info on the vehicles?

JESSE: Well, the
vehicle left at the scene

belonged to a single mother
in Mount Pearl.

It was reported stolen
earlier this week.


Usually you steal a car to sell it.

So, they were using it for something.

Maybe for whatever happened to John Doe

before he turned up at your place.

There were traces of someone else's
blood spatter on his forehead.

CHARLIE: His last words
were
"I tried to stop him."

He must have witnessed something.

DONOVAN: And he wanted
to tell you about it.

SARAH: Witness to or involved in?

I also found traces of talcum powder

and plasticizer on his hands.

That could be used in
rudimentary improvised expl*sives.

So, our John Doe was building a b*mb?

SARAH: Well,
without signs of accelerant,

I'm not willing to say for certain.

Jesse, any luck tracing the
car that the k*ller got away in?

Well, I checked all the traffic
cams in your neighbourhood.

There's no sign of a vehicle
with a broken side mirror.


Our k*ller couldn't have taken it far.

Right, we have a boundary that
we know the car didn't leave.

- [KEYBOARD CLACKING]
- CHARLIE: And that's our search area.

Good job, Jesse. Come on, Rex.

[SUSPENSEFUL MUSIC]

[REX BARKS]

Yeah, I see it.

Come on.

[REX SNIFFS]

[REX BARKS]

[DOOR UNLOCKING]

There's got to be some
ID in here somewhere.


The VIN's scratched out.

[REX SNIFFING]

[REX BARKS]

What have you got?

[REX BARKS]

[MYSTERIOUS MUSIC]

Hmm.

[PHONE RINGING]

- Charlie?
- CHARLIE: I found the getaway car.

I'm gonna take a photo
of a lock picking set


we found in the back seat.

See if you can identify this logo.

[COMPUTER PINGS]

Yeah, give me a sec.

SARAH: Charlie, it's funny you've...

you found a lock because
I've got a key for you.

I was going through
the autopsy photos again

and there was a strange
discoloration on the victim's bicep.

Under UV light I realized it's a tattoo.

Or it was, before it
was mostly lasered off.

[PHONE PINGS]

I recognize this tattoo.

- Really?
- CHARLIE: Mm-hmm.

From a guy named Lennie Tripp.

I arrested him five years ago

but not before he robbed
eight of the wealthiest houses


in St. John's in under a week.

It seems too specific a design
to be a coincidence, no?

CHARLIE: Yeah, I'm gonna find out.

Lennie had a lenient sentence.

- I bet he's back on the street by now.
- Oh!

I know where you might be able
to find him, Charlie.

The logo belongs to
Proudlok Security Solution.


A locksmithing business
partly owned by Lennie Tripp.

Now we're talking.

- Send me the address.
- [KEY GRINDING]

[REX BARKS]

[REX BARKS]

- [MAN CHUCKLES]
- [REX BARKS]

Hey, there.

What can I do for you?

Detective Hudson, SJPD.

That's my partner, Rex.

Darryl Gilbert.

Where'd you find that?

- You recognize it?
- Yeah, of course.

Tools of the trade.

I've got mine right here.

But we don't sell these to the public.

They're for locksmith outcalls only.

Well, this one was
found inside a vehicle

that had a connection
to a m*rder last night.

A m*rder?

- Yeah.
- Well, the only other person

I know who has one of these is my boss.

Is your boss Lennie Tripp?

No. That'd be his brother, Spencer.

[REX BARKING]

What's he doing?

He's picking up on a scent.

Do you have a photo of Spencer?

Yeah.

[REX BARKS]

Rex.

[CHARLIE WHISTLES]

Your boss isn't coming in to work today.

He was m*rder*d last night.

What can you tell me about Spencer?

Has he seemed off lately?

I don't know. He had a temper that
could bite, if you crossed him.

Maybe a little more lately.

Money's been tight.

You haven't seen his brother
Lennie around, have you?

Yeah, he comes by once in a while.

I actually walked in
on them having a talk

and whatever it was, it
seemed pretty serious.

MAN: Baby, why are you
giving me such a hard time?


Come on!

What are you doing to me?

- [REX BARKS]
- CHARLIE: Lennie?

[LENNIE SIGHS]

Been a while.

Not long enough, Detective.

Whatever it is,

take it up with my parole officer.

Will she be able to account
for your whereabouts last night?

My tab at Greensleeves Pub can.

Trust me, I've been doing whatever I can

to keep my hands clean.

Well, that usually involves
retaining employment.

You're not working at your
family's locksmith business?


You know a convicted felon
can't be a bonded locksmith.

It don't matter.

My little brother's taking
care of the family business

while I'm on parole.

I have some bad news about your brother.

Lennie.

He was m*rder*d last night.

He was sh*t by an unknown assailant.

When was the last time
you spoke with Spencer?

About a year ago.

The employee at Proudlok said
that you've been in recently.

Well, you've been misinformed.

My brother and I haven't
exactly seen eye-to-eye

since you put me away.

That why he got his tattoo removed?

Removed?

Are you trying to suggest I
had something to do with this?

There is evidence your brother
was involved in criminal activity.

My brother hated my guts
for getting put away.

When our father d*ed,

he dealt with it alone
while I was locked up.

So, take those accusations
out of your mouth.

- Or I will.
- [REX BARKING]

Lennie.

Your brother showed up
on my doorstep last night.

Dying.

Carrying a g*n.

If you know why,

you need to tell me.

I have no clue what kind
of stuff Spencer was into.


But you caught me.

He must have thought
you were pretty smart.

I am sorry for your loss.

Come on.

Hey Jesse.

- JESSE: Yeah.
- You think you can look into

Lennie Tripp's whereabouts last night?

And see if he's connected
with that stolen SUV.


Yeah, you think he looks good for it?

Yeah, maybe. Maybe.

I saw him working on an old junker.

He may have lost his car

after that SUV was ditched last night.

My team has finished with
their examination of your place.

It'll still be cordoned
off for another 24 hours.

Well, it looks like Rex and I
are your problem again tonight.

Oh.

- A package came for you.
- [REX GROWLS]

Huh.

It's from Proudlok.

It's coming to you.
That's what Spencer said.

Think this is what he meant?

Charlie, the plasticizer.

What's going on?

Spencer may have been building a b*mb

and it could be in this box.

Everybody out.

- [DRAMATIC PERCUSSION]
- Now!

[DRAMATIC MUSIC]

Everyone, evacuate!

- WOMAN: Yes, sir.
- Right away!

- MAN: Yeah, let's go!
- MAN 2: Everybody out.

Rex!

[DRAMATIC MUSIC]

Rex!

[REX BARKS]

No, Charlie. We play this by the book.

We call in the b*mb squad.

I know Rex's alert behaviours.

I don't think he's detecting expl*sives.

Charlie, do you really
think that's the safest plan?

Yeah, easy, pal.

[CHARLIE EXHALES]

[INTENSE MUSIC]

- _
- JESSE: We don't know what's on this thing.

So, this laptop

is not connected to the station servers.

Better to be safe. Right, Charlie?

[REX WHINES]

- Uh...
- It's a video file.

Detective Hudson.

My name is Spencer Tripp.

You don't know me but I know you.

My brother Lennie
wouldn't shut up about you


when I'd visit him in prison.

And he needs our help now.

A week ago, a man named
Darryl arrived at the shop.


Darryl was at the shop this morning.

SPENCER: He wanted my help with a job

but didn't say what it was.

He said if I refused,

that my brother would be k*lled.

- [REX YELPS]
- He said if I went to the police

or if I tried to talk to Lennie,

Lennie would be k*lled.

And he said if anything happened to him,

his business partners
would follow through


and k*ll Lennie.

He does look genuinely frightened.

SPENCER: Darryl's watching.

I don't know how but he's
tracking my movements.


So, I can't come to the station.

I can't call you.

But I can send you one of these videos

with the regular Tuesday
shipments from the shop.


Darryl hasn't given me specifics.

I don't know what the plan is

or when it's going down.

But I'll try to get proof.

And I'll send you another
video as soon as I can.


We've got to catch Darryl in the act

and make sure Lennie doesn't get hurt.

- Jesse. When was this recorded?
- Let me see.

Monday night.

It doesn't look like he had
the chance to record another.

He didn't have to.

I have everything I need from this.

[DISTANT SIREN]

We've got to catch Darryl in the act

and make sure Lennie doesn't get hurt.

After a year of silence,

I really thought Spencer
was through with me.

Who is this guy Darryl to you and
why is he threatening to k*ll you?

I didn't act alone in those
burglaries five years ago.

Darryl cased the joints.

I picked the locks and got the goods.

You understand that if
you had given Darryl up,

you could have taken
years off your sentence.


Yeah. I thought I was
doing myself a favour.

Darryl's not the kind of
guy you want to cross.


Which is why Spencer believed

Darryl would follow through
on this thr*at to k*ll you?


I got a visit from Darryl

just before my release in prison.

He wanted to start up a
new job for when I got out.

But I refused.

And he just took no for an answer?

I thought so.

But with you out, he
needed a new partner.

If I'd have known

that Darryl would have sunk his
hooks into my little brother,

I would've done whatever
he asked me to do.

But why go to Spencer?

He's not a criminal.

He had the same skill set as you.

Ah.

Yeah, our father taught us the trade.

Spencer didn't want my life.

He was honest.

You've got to promise me
you're gonna make Darryl


pay for k*lling my brother!

CHARLIE: All right, partner.

Hopefully something at
Spencer's place will tell us


- what Darryl had planned.
- [REX SNIFFING]

[REX SNIFFING]

[REX SNIFFING]

[REX SNIFFS] [REX BARKS]

[REX BARKS]

[REX BARKS]

A GPS tracker.

Spencer was right. Darryl
was keeping an eye on him.

Good find, partner.

[PHONE BUZZING]

- Hey, Joe.
- DONOVAN: Yeah, Charlie.

I've got Sarah here.

I've got news on the getaway car.

I managed to reconstruct
the scratched-out ID number.

Yeah, it belongs to a
man named Aaron Sumner.

He works for Avalon National Bank.

Well, maybe Aaron is a
part of Darryl's crew.

Inside guy at the bank?

Have we located him yet?

We spoke to his wife

and she said that he
moved out a few weeks ago.

Okay, well, we'll go check the bank.

And I found a GPS tracker
in Spencer Tripp's car keys.

Sarah, did you find
a tracker in the SUV?

I don't think so

- but we'll double-check.
- CHARLIE: Okay, thanks.

[INDISTINCT CHATTER]

Charlie Hudson, SJPD.

This is my partner, Rex.
I'm looking for Aaron Sumner.

You and me both.

He hasn't been in today.
I've been trying to reach him.

Carmen Silva, regional bank
manager. What's this about?

We found Aaron's car
abandoned this morning.

What does he do here at the bank?

He's the operations manager,

in charge of internal
services and data systems.

Hmm, would you mind if I
took a look at his office?

Sure. Right this way.

[DEVICE BEEPING]

Biometric scanners on the
locks? That's pretty high tech.

Yeah. We're actually a subsidiary
of a Saudi Arabian national bank.

They spared no expense.
This is Aaron's office.

I heard Aaron moved recently.

- Do you have his new address?
- No.


But he did mention he was looking
at an Airbnb on Falkland Street.

What was hanging here?

Family photos.

Aaron's been having
some trouble at home.


I think it was too
painful to keep them up.

Has he been acting strangely lately?

A little. But I just

chalked it up to his marital problems.

If he was getting a divorce,

it could have caused financial pressure.

Listen, is there something
I should be concerned about?

Well, that's what I'm
trying to figure out.


Have you seen either of these two men

talking with Aaron here?

- No, sorry.
- [REX BARKS]

[COMPUTER WHIRRING]

Now, you know what being
frozen out feels like.


You know where to find me.

JESSE: Oh, ransomware!

[REX BARKS]

What does an electronic att*ck
have to do with Spencer?

He's a lock and key guy.

If I can get past this, I
might be able to find out.

You were right about the stolen SUV.

We found a tracker
behind the wheel well.

Are we able to get the history from it?

- Jesse's working on it.
- JESSE: Done.

Yeah, it looks like every
day for the past week

the SUV drove to a residential street

and parked from 9:00 to 11:00.

CHARLIE: Yeah.

That's Lennie's old M.O.

when he was on his burglary spree.

They were casing the place.

SARAH: Well, look. There's the
trip to your neighbourhood last night


ending where Spencer Tripp was sh*t.

And starting on Falkland Street.

Is that significant?

It's where we're gonna
find Aaron Sumner. Rex.

It could be any one of these houses.
So, we'd better start knocking.

[REX SNIFFS]

[CAR DOOR CLOSES]

Or we'll do it your way.

[REX SNIFFS]

Aaron Sumner?

SJPD. We're coming in.

[DRAMATIC PERCUSSION]

[CAMERA SNAPPING]

Lividity suggests Aaron
Sumner d*ed last night.

Likely within hours of
Spencer Tripp's death.

And possibly, with the same w*apon.

- A 9 millimetre casing.
- [REX SNIFFING]

I'm thinking Darryl and Spencer
brought these zip-ties...


and planned on restraining him.

But Aaron fought back.

Aaron came at them with a Kn*fe.

Got sh*t.

[REX SNIFFING]

Spencer was an unwilling participant.

He was just trying to
gather evidence on Darryl.

Probably wasn't expecting
this level of v*olence.

Darryl sh**t Aaron.

Spencer now has blood on
his hands. So, he panics.

He swipes Aaron's keys.

And then Spencer drives to your house.

Darryl follows him in the stolen SUV.

But then what was all this for?

Like why case this
place and then come in

when Aaron is home?

They wanted him to be home.

He was the target.

Something to do with
his role at the bank?

Yeah. Yeah, that would make sense.

- [REX SNIFFS]
- Darryl's graduated from

cat burglaries to something much bigger.

A bank heist.

[REX SNIFFS] [REX BARKS]

Looks like some kind
of residue on his hands.

We should test to see
what Rex is alerting to.


I know what you're gonna find.

Plasticizer and talcum powder.

It wasn't b*mb components.

They were here to steal
Aaron Sumner's handprint.

[DRAMATIC MUSIC]

Is it even possible to
duplicate someone's handprint?

It cannot be that simple to
fool a biometric security system!

There was heavy duty epoxy putty

all over Aaron's hand and fingertips.

I mean, it could
produce an accurate mold.

Well, both of these murders
had to do with bank heists.

Yeah, and Charlie thinks Darryl
still might make a move on the bank.

- Why?
- Darryl took care to hide the connection

between Aaron and Spencer when he tried

to destroy the VIN
on Aaron Sumner's car.

But we've had no luck
tracking Darryl down.

SARAH: Well, Charlie's on the way
to warn the bank's manager.


CARMEN: Aaron's
handprint gave him access


to the servers, the vault, everything.

We believe his handprint was stolen.

And that's why he was k*lled?

The man who's involved
in this is very dangerous.

I have to get back to the bank

and make sure Aaron's
clearance is revoked

and that handprint is useless.

I have another idea.

[REX BARKS]

[SUSPENSEFUL MUSIC]

[PHONE BUZZES]

CHARLIE: Hey, Jesse. You working late?

Yeah, I couldn't walk away
from this ransomware, Charlie.

It's a nice bit of coding but I
finally found a decryption tool.


Traced it to a source.

Elijah Arneaux.

An IT coder who was recently
fired from Avalon Bank.

Okay, so the ransomware could have been

retribution for being fired

and it had nothing to
do with Darryl's plan.


JESSE: Yeah, I'd agree,
except
Elijah Arneaux's name

also pops up on Proudlok's accounts.

He made a purchase at the shop
a few days before the murders.

Okay, Jesse. Why
don't you bring in Elijah

- and see what you can find out?
- Oh, yeah.

I'd like to meet this guy.

Charlie. Is the bank closed?

CHARLIE: Yeah. Carmen just locked up.

We've got one security guard inside.

Back up in position?

Yeah, they're out of sight.

CHARLIE: All right. Well,
let's hope Darryl feels comfortable.

JESSE: Elizah, do you
know why you're here?


Isn't all of this a bit of um...

overkill for pirating
one season of Death Note?

Look, piracy is a crime.

But this is about Aaron Sumner.

Aaron?

Aaron filed a police complaint,

over the little gift I sent him?

Look, that wasn't... embedded.

It wasn't a back door att*ck.

- It was just...
- No no, but it was attached

- to an email with your name on it.
- Yeah.

Exactly.

So, if he opened it and downloaded it,

that's kind of on him.

Well, maybe he opened
it because he knew you.

You worked for him for months, right?

He opened it because
he's computer illiterate.

Okay, like the man's supposed
to be the head of digital security.

Like, what a joke, right?

I worked there for two days.

And I found massive holes in
the internal infrastructure.

I ran some White Knight

hacker test runs

to demonstrate some of the flaws.

And then Aaron flips out and is like,

"Ah, you compromised the system!"

"You're destroying company confidence!"

The moron fires me.

- And now I can't pick up a job anywhere.
- Elijah.

Aaron was k*lled last night.

- I didn't have anything to do with that.
- No, I know. I know.

We're picking up the guy
who's behind it tonight.

- So, why am I here then?
- Well, because,

I took a look under
the hood of your code


and it's really complex stuff.

But it turns out, it granted you
access to Aaron's email remotely

which the Canadian Criminal Code

basically treats as a break-and-enter.

You're under arrest.

[DISTANT HORN HONKING]

[REX WHINES]

Yeah, I know. It's another
nine hours 'til the bank opens.

- Don't fall asleep on me now.
- [REX GRUNTS]

[CAR DOOR OPENS]

- Oh! Life saver!
- Hey.

Here you go. I've got
something for you too.

Anything yet?

Yeah, no sign of Darryl.

Security guard inside is
checking in every 15 minutes.

[DISTANT BANGING]

[DRAMATIC MUSIC]

[REX BARKS]

He's on to something.

[MUFFLED MAN'S VOICE AND BANGING]

[REX BARKING]

Go.

[REX BARKING]

The security guard is a fake.

Darryl's in the bank. All units, I
repeat, Darryl is in the bank!

[DOOR CLOSING]

[REX BARKS]

[REX BARKING]

DARRYL: Go, go, go, go!

[CAR STARTING]

[REX BARKING]

[TIRES SCREECHING]

- [REX BARKING]
- Rex!

- [TIRES SCREECHING]
- CHARLIE: Rex!

- [REX BARKING]
- Lennie, stop!

I know, I know, buddy.

CHARLIE: A wig and a stolen uniform.

Darryl posed as a security
guard to get into the bank.

He was here the whole time.

Well, it gave him plenty
of time to use this.


A handprint mould.

It's supposed to set off a silent alarm

but we never got a notification.

No. And the real security
guard ID'd Darryl.

Said he jumped into his
vehicle on his way to work.

Hit him over the head,
took his uniform and then

locked him in the trunk. He
woke up and started pounding

and that's when Rex heard him.

- [REX BARKS]
- And Darryl knew that we were watching.

- [SARAH SIGHS]
- He got into the bank before it was locked.

But that was Lennie's car.
What was Lennie doing here?

I guess he was the getaway driver.

That means that Lennie's
still mixed up with Darryl.


So, Darryl accessed the vault?

No.

He wasn't after the vault.

[CAMERA SNAPPING]

It's an APT. Advance
Persistent thr*at heist.

What you do is you
infect a bank's servers.

You monitor the transfers
and then figure out


how to discretely
transfer the funds out.


- This doesn't seem discrete to me.
- No, no.

It's a sledgehammer. $18.5 million
gone before we shut it down.

So, where's the money?

Well, it looks like it's in one account

belonging to Spencer Tripp.

Someone converted it
to Bitcoin moments ago.

Can you trace the transaction?

- Can do.
- [KEYBOARD CLACKING]

[COMPUTER BEEPING]

Huh. Yeah, it looks
like it happened at ProudLok.

Rex and I will check
it out. Come on, pal.



How did he pull that off?

Well, that's the easy part.

He plugged a USB into a computer

with access to the bank's servers.

The hard part was writing the
program that was on the USB.

And where's your ransomware programmer?

He's in holding.

- [BANGING ON DOOR]
- [ELIJAH GROANS]

Morning.

You know, if I'm right, you're a
richer man than you were yesterday.


What was your cut of the Avalon heist?

I don't know what you're
talking about, man.

Come on Elijah. Don't be modest.

This is seriously impressive stuff.

Bypassing customer authentication.

Overriding maximum transfer limits.

You've got a gift!

Yeah, I told you, the Avalon
system has like major holes in it.

So, you admit you programmed the code?

[JESSE TAPS FINGERS]

- [DOOR BUZZER SOUNDS]
- Okay, Elijah.

Talk now and it might
buy you a lesser sentence.

Well, I...

Okay, yeah.

Yeah, I did.

I just didn't think anyone
was gonna die over this!

How'd you get involved?

I just got a call with an offer.

And then I met with this
locksmith guy, Spencer.

They just told me to drop the code

- at the same spot on Monday.
- Monday?

Totally reasonable deadline. Right?

And then two days later,

I get a different call
from a different guy

saying he needs it the next day!

So, I stay up all night working.

But you got it done.

Did you you deliver it to this man?

I just brought it straight to the bank.

They told me to put the
USB
in a planter in the lobby.

And then two hours later,
there's officers at my door

and I'm here with you.

Did Darryl pick up the USB from there?

I don't know, man. I
haven't heard the name Darryl

like once in all of this.

You got a cold call
to start this whole thing.

Who knew you were the right
guy for the job, Elijah?

Beats me.

This was so stupid.

No such thing as easy money, is there?

- DARRYL: Aaghh!
- Darryl, freeze!

- [REX SNARLS]
- DARRYL: Agghh!

[REX BARKING]

Well, that must have hurt.

Good job, partner.

Come on.

We've been looking for
you everywhere, Darryl.

You're under arrest.

You're telling me that Lennie Tripp

is the mastermind
behind this whole thing?


- That's the truth.
- Ha.

Well, Spencer Tripp
has a different story.

He sent me a message before he d*ed

that said that you
threatened to k*ll Lennie

if he didn't go along.

Lennie got me to say that to
Spencer to keep him in line.

Yeah and what did he say
to you to keep you in line?

Hmm?

You're trying to tell me that...

that Lennie k*lled Aaron
Sumner and his own brother?

Lennie's looking for a big score, okay?

The kind of score that sets you up

on an island for the rest of your life.

Lennie is, huh?

There's just one problem
with that, Darryl.

Yeah, what's that?

The bank manager, Carmen.

Ahhh.

She let you into the bank last night

as if she didn't recognize you
weren't the regular security guard.

She also lied to me

about having Aaron's Sumner's
handprint removed from the system.

I guess he's got something on her, too.

But I'll tell you something.

You better hope that
he's planning on sharing

because otherwise, you've got a guy

with a g*n you can
connect to two deaths.

Three, if you're not already too late.

Do you believe him?

Whether Lennie
masterminded the whole thing

or he caught up with Darryl to
get revenge for Spencer's death,

- Darryl was right about one thing.
- Carmen was in on it.

Yeah, she knew to hire
Elijah to program the virus


and she helped Darryl
intercept the Guard

who was on duty last night.

You think Lennie will
do something stupid?

Not if we find him first.

[SUSPENSEFUL MUSIC]

All you've got to do is tell the truth!

And nobody gets hurt!

CARMEN: I told you! I don't
know what you're talking about!

[CARMEN CRYING]

[REX BARKS]

[DRAMATIC PERCUSSION]

Lennie, you don't want to do this.

LENNIE: I know what I want, Detective.

I want everyone who dragged
Spencer into this to pay.

We found Darryl where you left him.

You want to get revenge?

He's gonna go away for a long time.

For k*lling my brother?

It's not enough.

You weren't involved in this
heist from the beginning?

You think if I knew about it,
I'd let Spencer take the fall?

How'd you end up as
Darryl's getaway driver?

I told him I wanted in.

No offense, Detective, but
I have a little less faith

in you than Spencer did. I
needed to ride sidesaddle on this


to make sure Darryl
didn't get away with it.


But then he leaves
the bank empty-handed.

I don't see what I have
to do with any of this.

Give it up, lady!

You already gave me the Bitcoin key!

You're in this for the money?

It's not about the money!

She put the idea in Darryl's head!

She may as well have put a
b*llet in Spencer herself!

CHARLIE: Okay. Okay, Lennie.

You've caught her.

You're done now. We're taking this.

Spencer d*ed trying to protect you.

Life in prison isn't
what he wants for you.

[LENNIE SIGHS HEAVILY]

[DRAMATIC MUSIC]

[REX BARKS]

- Easy, Carmen.
- [REX BARKING]

I'm gonna get in my car.

I want the Bitcoin and
I want Darryl released.

- We've got plane tickets.
- [REX BARKS]

That's not how this works.

I've come too far to
give up now, Detective.

CHARLIE: You knew the flaws
in the bank's security, huh?

Convinced Darryl that you
needed Aaron's handprint.

And he brought in Spencer
so no one could trace

the breaking back to me.

Darryl should have
listened to me sooner.


I told him as soon as you have the key,

- get rid of that do-gooder, Spencer.
- I'll k*ll you.

[REX BARKS]

- [g*n FIRES]
- CARMEN: Oh!

[CARMEN GRUNTS]

Don't move.

Good job, Rex.

CHARLIE: How did you get mixed
up
with Darryl in the first place?

He came into the bank
looking for a business loan.

Just a guy looking for a second chance.

I take it the loan was denied?

Darryl doesn't have any assets,

except for his good looks.

Good match.

Officer.

- [CAR DOOR CLOSING]
- [CAR STARTING]

You know I'm gonna have
to take you in, too.

Yeah, I figured as much.

Look...

I had to make sure the people
who k*lled Spencer got caught.

Runs in the family.

But...

you got me Darryl, so,

I'm gonna see if I can get a judge
to drop the accessory charges.

You know,

this might help.

It's the USB key for the Bitcoin.

I got it from Carmen just
before you guys showed up.

Just don't say I never
gave you anything.

I've got something for you too.

[SOFT GUITAR]

_

Tripp Brothers Security.

Your brother believed in you.

He wanted you two to
run the company together.

Yeah.

I'll never get bonded though.

Maybe that's my angle!

I mean, who better to install
a security system than a thief?

- [REX BARKS]
- [LENNIE LAUGHS]

I know what works best at
keeping bad guys like me out.

Funny you should mention that.

[SECURITY SYSTEM BEEPING]

All right.

- Looks like the alarm's working.
- Nice.

Now you can come start dinner.

You owe me a long overdue risotto.

Is it strange to be
back after what happened?

Well, Spencer is always gonna be a part

of the history of this house.

I'm glad he came to
me in his hour of need

but I am also glad that we are not
gonna be taken by surprise again.
