reads words on screen
After closing-
at 4 AM on April 13th, an inferno raged-
through Tropiks Nightclub.
Before then-
the building was in good shape.
No faulty wiring.
Gas lines-
intact.
No reason-
it should erupt suddenly and furiously-
unless by design.
The nightclub's owner, Mr. Gene Powell here-
stands accused of two charges.
Arson for Fraudulent Purpose.
Arson-
with Disregard for Human Life.
I called 911 after I saw the smoke.
But before the firefighters could arrive-
Mr. Powell came out-
just stood there and watched it burn.
The defendant will suggest-
he is simply the victim of a random attack.
Yet-
with so much to lose-
he had so much to gain.
My Financial Crimes Unit-
noted frequent inconsistencies in Mr. Powell's books-
to the tune of $1.2 million in back taxes.
The insurance payout for the nightclub fire-
is about double that amount.
Backed into a corner, Mr. Powell-
set that fire deliberately.
There is only one victim here-
the man who perished in that inferno.
And that man deserves justice here today.
Dr. Truong.
Could you please tell the jury what your team found-
when the fire was finally extinguished?
Components of accelerant bombs-
were scattered around the nightclub.
A concoction of volatile chemicals and aluminum shavings.
Along with some heavily burnt human remains.
Now, were you able to identify the victim?
I'm sure there's a family out there-
that would like Mr. Powell answer-
for his crime.
Unfortunately I can't provide that for them.
The few uncorrupted-
DNA indicators we were able pull-
were insufficient to match to any one person-
in our DNA database.
And why is that, Dr. Truong?
The accelerant bomb-
used in this blaze-
was designed to burn for as long as possible.
So the body was essentially cremated.
Thank you, Dr. Truong.
Your record precedes you.
Years of experience as Chief of Forensics.
A role with the Major Crimes Unit.
Yes that's all correct.
And a good working relationship with the Crown Attorney.
In fact-
weren't you at one time-
involved intimately-
with Mr. Billinger?
Objection- relevance!
Sustained.
Has Mr. Billinger-
ever asked you to alter your findings, Doctor?
You're treading into dangerous waters-
Ms. Creehan.
Where are you going with this?
Just trying to establish why an experienced forensic analyst-
failed to identify the body.
Objection Your Honour!
I withdraw.
No further questions, Your Honour.
The defense calls Dr. Reva Warner to the stand.
Dr. Warner.
You've been a senior associate-
at Sutherland Schmidt Forensics for how long?
Eight years and counting.
I appreciate your expert insight-
as an independent source.
You had access to the evidence.
Did you come to any different conclusions?
I can't understand-
why Dr. Truong wasn't able to identify the body.
He practically walked up and introduced himself to me.
Would you mind introducing this court to him too?
Meet-
David Gallo.
Public records state he was recently released from prison-
on an arson charge.
So at this fire-
which the defendant supposedly set-
there was a master arsonist on the scene?
Well master is a strong word.
He did burn himself up after all.
Order.
Judge Costa agreed to adjourn for the weekend.
But I'm still going to need a miracle by Monday.
Well what do you want us to do about that?
It's not a Major Crimes case.
Yeah.
I thought you had Financial Crimes handling this?
Yeah
I thought they had enough to convict.
But I was relying on Sarah's testimony to seal it-
before Reva's little surprise.
Hold on.
I was thorough and by the book on this.
Thorough wasn't enough to get results.
It would've been helpful to know that we had-
an arsonist on our hands ahead of time.
It should've been impossible-
to pull uncompromised DNA from those remains.
And we tried to identify the victim-
with the Missing Persons Database.
There was nothing to tie this to Gallo until now.
So even if Gallo-
did set the fires-
how do we know that he wasn't hired by Powell?
Proving that is my only shot at a conviction.
I need Major Crimes' fresh eyes-
and Rex's nose on this now.
What if we can't prove it by Monday?
Then a guilty man goes free.
Sarah.
You okay?
Yeah.
Yeah, I'm fine.
Ah, you can lie to me.
You can't lie to Rex.
And I mean, what do we even know-
about this so-called expert witness?
Defense could have gotten
one of those liar-for hire types.
That's the part that worries me.
In my past experience, Reva's always been credible.
Warner? Reva Warner?
You know her?
Yeah we were in the same graduating year at university.
She and I were always neck- in-neck for top of the class.
Why does that name sound so familiar to me?
She's the best-selling true crime author.
She does those-
Forensic Scientist Debunks Hollywood Movies videos-
on Youtube.
It's pretty tacky.
I mean a good scientist maybe.
But she's just always been a real spotlight hog.
Okay.
Cancel your weekend plans.
We're taking the case.
With a possible ID on the body-
we have an obligation to investigate this.
Sarah.
I'm sure you did your due diligence.
But still.
No, it's okay.
I just have to figure out how I missed this.
Superintendent Lewis.
Thanks for meeting me.
The pleasure's all mine.
You know, this David Gallo thing-
is really throwing a spanner in the works.
Yeah.
Yeah, sure is.
I'm sure we can still get Powell-
if we put our heads together.
I'm glad you agree.
Which is why I need your team-
to send the case files to Major Crimes as soon as possible.
It'd be a lot easier if your team came to Financial Crimes.
My team's already briefed.
Well your team did all they could.
And a great job at that.
But you know-
the Crown Prosecutor's just asked Major Crimes-
to take this across the finish line.
I see what you're doing here.
And it's not going to work.
This is time sensitive.
This is so Major Crimes is better equipped-
to deal with an arson investigation.
This-
It's not personal.
Of course.
Purely professional.
I'll have my boys bring over the files.
Best of luck.
David Gallo.
He spent five years in Her Majesty's Pen-
for burning down a heritage building downtown.
Yeah, I remember that case.
A developer wanted the land cleared-
and couldn't tear it down legally.
I've got the Marshall's report from that fire.
It's the same MO.
Another aluminum shaving accelerant bomb.
How did we not catch that connection before?
Well David's name never turned up in the initial investigation-
because all signs pointed to Gene.
And a warrant for his arrest-
only came out earlier this month-
when he failed to check in to his parole office.
Ma'am.
Excuse me, what are those?
Those aren't digitized.
Do you have any idea how long these are going to take-
to sift through?
I take it Superintendent Lewis wasn't happy-
we were taking over her case?
I think this is her idea of a joke.
What are we looking for in here anyway?
Anything that proves that Gene paid David to set that fire.
Strange cash flow.
Employment records.
Anything, Jesse.
Anything?
Yeah, I do not envy your day today.
You're not helping?
Uh, wish we could.
But Rex and I have a date with a parole officer.
Rex, come on pal.
Can you bring me something caffeinated-
on your way back please?
Hello cutie.
You don't look like you're checking in.
Officer Lyddon?
Detective Hudson.
This is my partner Rex.
We're here about David Gallo.
Oh, you mean the son of a bitch-
who got me on the Wall of Shame?
Wall of Shame?
He was the first parolee-
to slip through my fingers.
Guess he turned up somewhere?
Unfortunately, yes.
His body was identified in a fire.
Do you know if he had-
any associations with Gene Powell?
Or maybe with the nightclub Tropiks?
Not that I know of.
Drinking was against the terms of his parole.
Well it is possible-
that he slipped back into arson.
Was there any indication of that in your last check-in?
He'd be spitting in my face if he did.
I helped him get a job at an auto shop.
Even moved him out of the halfway house-
into his own place.
I'm going to need his address.
God, what has it been?
Ten years?
Just about!
You've done very well for yourself since then.
All luck.
If I hadn't landed that internship-
at Sutherland Schmidt right after graduation-
You were up for the same job.
Weren't you?
I mean it's so long ago now.
I'm not sure.
Well who knows?
If things had gone differently-
maybe you'd be the one meeting me-
at some outpost city like this.
Well, St. John's is not Toronto.
But it's certainly no outpost.
But your facilities can't be great here.
How do you mean?
Well with better equipment-
maybe you would've pulled some workable DNA off that body.
You know, that's actually what I wanted to talk about.
Um-
I don't understand how you were able to pull an ID.
Those bones were fully calcined.
Well, when you have tissue that damaged-
the only solution-
is mitochondrial testing.
We were in the same Forensics 402 class.
Thank you.
It's just that results from my test were totally inconclusive.
It must be hard to do your best work here.
Cops and lawyers always breathing down your neck-
for a conviction.
Convictions don't drive my forensics.
The evidence I collect drives the theory.
Not the other way around.
Actually, I heard a dog runs the investigations in this town.
I mean is that true?
No.
No, Rex is a part of the team, yes.
But he's a highly trained-
Sarah.
Listen to yourself.
Picking up after a dog.
It is beneath you.
God- what do you use?
Doggie bags to collect your evidence?
Just tell me how you got those results, Reva.
It's not complicated.
I tested what they gave me.
The science speaks for itself-
if you're thorough.
Good morning.
Good morning, Charlie.
Sarah.
I thought you could use a coffee.
What is all- ?
Or you canhave it.
What is all this?
I've pulled exhibits from the courthouse.
We're testing the remains again.
Does this mean that you believe Reva now?
It means it's possible.
So we're going to try to replicate her results.
Retesting a hypothesis-
is a crucial part of the scientific method, after all.
Did Reva get into your head-
last night?
Absolutely not.
What is it pal?
What?
It should just be metal fragments-
collected from the fire.
Looks like some kind of circuit board?
I'll take it down to Jesse.
See what he comes up with.
Okay.
Nice work Rex.
Are you okay?
Yeah, I'm just um-
having a tough week, or something.
Science isn't fickle.
If there's something that we missed in all of this-
we'll find it now.
I hope so.
Jesse.
Yeah.
Whoa.
You doing all right?
I have been-
drowning in spreadsheets for several hours.
Any idea what those are?
Huh.
These are in bad shape.
But-
they look like super- conductor chips.
You want to explain that to the rest of us-
who don't crack open our cellphones-
for fun?
I did that one time.
And it was very educational.
These are in everything.
Cellphones, minivans.
Gaming consoles.
Anything with computing powers.
Are they valuable?
Oh, they're worth their weight in gold.
I mean there's a global shortage right now.
What is a nightclub owner doing with them?
Do you have any transactions that would explain-
how Gene could've gotten his hands on those?
No, here's the thing.
I went through Financial Crimes files on Gene.
And I just can't make sense of any of it.
I have trouble with Excel spreadsheets too.
Not that.
For one-
this guy has more money coming in than going out.
Okay?
There's no sign of any withdrawal-
to pay David the arsonist-
or to even buy tech like this.
So maybe he's got a second source of income?
That's what I was thinking too.
But this is where things get weird.
It's like Financial Crimes-
is running six different investigations on this guy.
There are files on cases in here-
that already laid convictions on other people.
Who's this guy?
A known gun smuggler.
There are files on a bunch of other dealers that were nabbed.
So the Tropiks is a criminal hotspot?
Well they didn't include a guide-
on how to connect any of these files.
I don't know how Gene is mixed up in all this.
You know what?
Let me have another conversation with Superintendent Lewis.
And we'll get the answer directly from the source.
Hey!
There you are.
I was just coming to see you.
Solved it already?
Must be a record.
Pretty impressive.
Yeah that's very funny.
You know, almost as funny as sending us-
an entire recycling plant's worth of paper.
We can't make heads or tails of it.
Well you should have known better.
Trying to cram a year's worth of investigation into a weekend?
Ha.
Come on now.
Wait.
Hold on, a year's worth?
This is about way more than just a fire.
What else are you trying to nab Gene for?
It's your investigation now.
Figure it out.
Vanessa, I don't know what I've done-
to warrant this kind of hostility.
Just can't we work together here?
You've had your chance.
But Major Crimes needs their win, right?
My team just what-?
gets sidelined?
All your team's work is going to go for naught-
if we can't crack this.
We just need to know-
how David Gallo factors in.
Talk to somebody who knows.
I've given you all I got.
This is David's place.
Uh-uh.
This building has a no pets policy.
Good think he's not a pet.
What the- ?
Your tenant has been dead for two months.
You didn't notice he wasn't here?
Dead, alive.
I don't care so long so the rent comes in.
Looks like David didn't get the no pet memo.
Hmm.
Who's been feeding the fish?
I live off-property.
Couldn't tell you.
Someone's expecting.
What've you got, pal?
I've got good news or bad news-
depending on how your day went.
Aluminum shavings.
Looks like it could be a match-
to the accelerant bomb.
But I'll have to test it.
You found these where?
In David's apartment.
Looks like he is a part of this.
Reva may have been right.
Well, we can't say the same.
Sarah and I each conducted the DNA testing again.
And results-
are still inconclusive.
Sorry.
No.
No, it's not that we failed.
It's literally impossible.
There's no conceivable way-
that Reva pulled David's DNA.
But she presented a DNA match.
How is that possible?
Well-
the Defense was ready to spring David on us at the trial.
I wonder if Reva lied under oath.
I hope you didn't call us down here to intimidate my client.
No I can assure you not.
From what emerged in court-
we are now officially looking into David Gallo.
Any idea why-
he might have targeted your business?
Well he used to be a regular-
before prison-
did a number on him.
What do you mean?
He had a short fuse.
Started picking fights.
We had to ban him two weeks before the fire.
That's why he torched the place?
Well-
It's not easy being kicked out of paradise.
Yeah, um-
this was taken two days before the fire.
That's David Gallo, right?
Detective Hudson, careful.
We don't have to be here.
Just trying to establish a timeline for our suspect.
Security must have been lax that night.
Maybe he was scoping out the place.
Except those are the Employees Only stairs.
We checked on the floor plan.
It's the same place-
where Kieran McCall, arms dealer-
once headed.
A corrupt port authority.
Oh and-
a contraband tobacco smuggler.
Alright, Hudson.
I don't like where this is headed.
Doesn't feel like Gallo should be going up those stairs-
unless he was on the payroll.
Does it?
If you really believe that-
good luck proving it.
We'll see you on Monday.
It's just not possible Reva came to that conclusion-
with her methodology.
I think she was led to that conclusion by the defense.
Which means they were counting on us-
not being able to connect Gallo to this fire.
They had a ready-made scapegoat prepared to throw the case.
That seems far-fetched.
Uh- don't say fetch.
Can you prove any of this?
Or is it just a hunch?
No it is not a hunch.
It's a theory.
So you expect me-
to walk into court tomorrow-
crying collusion and falsifying evidence?
With nothing to back it up?
We are going to prove it.
Just give us time.
24 hours is all the time we have.
Sorry.
So how are we going to prove it?
There's no paper trail between David and Gene.
Maybe we don't have to find one.
If we can prove Reva falsified evidence-
then the case falls apart right?
Uh- leave that with me.
It's a big if Sarah.
We need to attack this-
from every angle.
What if we can find someone in David's life-
who can speak to their relationship?
I called the hospital-
that performed that ultrasound you found, Charlie.
Here's the list of all the women who had appointments that day.
I know exactly who we're looking for.
I think we have something of yours.
Amanda.
What was this doing at David's apartment?
David asked to see the sonogram.
We became pretty close over his probation.
I'd say you became more than close.
He would have been-
the first person to see this.
He had a check- in with you-
a half an hour after this appointment.
David's the father.
Isn't he?
When David got out, no one believed in him.
Everyone here was just waiting for him to reoffend.
There was something tender in him if you looked a bit deeper.
It's clear you cared about him.
That's why I need you to be honest with me now.
What else are you hiding?
The day of the ultrasound-
he told me he was worried about providing for us.
And he told me he had a job.
The Tropiks fire?
I didn't care to hear the details.
But I told him that if he did anything stupid-
he'd be out of our lives for good.
He may have still taken the job.
We found some material in his apartment-
that matched the accelerant bomb.
No.
He told me he'd refused-
to do it.
But that he needed to disappear for a while to stay safe.
And in the meantime, you kept the fish fed.
He promised he'd be back in time for his next check-in.
Even after we filed the warrant for his arrest-
I was hoping that he'd come back-
until yesterday.
What is he doing?
He's on to something.
What have you got pal?
Of course you found the one item in this office of his.
He told me to keep them safe in case-
he need them for insurance.
We have bomb components at David's house-
and proof that he was commissioned for a crime-
before the fire.
So why do we not have everything we need?
We still can't prove definitively-
that Gene hired him.
I wish it was that simple.
But I think I believe Amanda too.
Because he didn't go through with it?
Not after he found out he had a baby on the way.
Wait, okay so-
if we want to believe Reva-
how did he end up in that fire?
I think he might've been murdered.
Because he backed out of the job?
Or for his silence.
Amanda said that David gave her these as insurance.
Maybe it was for leverage against Gene-
for whatever he was using them for.
That won't hold up in court Charlie.
Or maybe it was for Amanda and the baby?
Because if was looking for a payday, those chips-
could be worth a lot of money.
The part that doesn't make sense-
is why would Jean let them burn?
Well-
they're junk.
I'm sorry?
Yeah, I tested dozens of these.
None of them have a current.
They're less than worthless.
Because this was never about the nightclub.
Gene was stuck with faulty product.
You think he was selling contraband?
If he's a contraband merchant-
these numbers would make sense.
Yeah.
Financial Crimes have all these large deposits-
highlighted on their spreadsheets.
I didn't know what they were before.
Thank you so much-
for coming.
Oh it's my pleasure!
Though do I have to remind you that there's a case ongoing?
So I can't help you too much.
Well this is for a separate investigation on David Gallo.
Getting your statement would be very helpful-
since my results came up short.
It's big of you to admit that you were wrong.
I also-
was thinking about what you said the other night.
about this job being-
you know-
beneath me.
Do you get to travel for work a lot?
Yeah, someone hires us.
We go consult.
What are you looking to make a change?
It'd just be an awfully nice way to see the world.
You didn't-
test the evidence out in Toronto?
No, I can get access to a lab-
pretty much anywhere in the world.
It's tricky here though-
with just the one worth using.
Kernwell Research Centre?
No, God no.
AtlanTech Labs.
Oh okay.
So this officer will take you to get your statement.
Great.
And I will keep an eye out for openings.
Jesse?
It's AtlanTech Labs.
Get me anything you can find.
Clock's ticking.
You get your guy yet?
Vanessa, Major Crimes is trying to help you.
And it's not going to reflect well on Financial Crimes either-
if this case falls apart now.
But if you get the win-
I doubt if you'd share it with us.
That doesn't seem fair, does it?
So let me get this straight.
It's more important for my team to fail-
than to get Gene Powell?
What exactly is going on here?
Don't play dumb.
The Chief is talking retirement.
So your scooping our case-
is just a move to start campaigning for the job.
That's news to me.
And what makes you think I'd even want that job?
Who wouldn't?
Never even crossed my mind.
Mmmm.
The only thing-
that is on my plate right now is getting Gene Powell.
And I need your help.
Please.
That's all you had to say.
My team has been after Gene Powell for years.
There was an influx of contraband in town.
And the merchants seemed to have only one thing in common.
They went through Tropiks.
Exactly.
Now we couldn't tell how Gene was involved in the scheme.
But the club was a hub of activity.
And clearly he was getting kickbacks.
I mean I couldn't trace any of these massive deposits.
So he was just a middleman?
No.
Not with the kind of money he had coming in.
I mean that's a healthy cut.
What if he was paid in advance by the buyer?
But the chips were faulty.
Which-
Which means that he'd be on the hook for millions to somebody.
Yeah, which is why the nightclub had to go-
and take the chips with it.
And if David wasn't going to help with the problem-
maybe he needed to go too.
With fatherhood on the horizon-
he could have been threatening-
to come clean about all this stuff.
Yeah, it all makes sense.
How are we going to prove it-
before the trial resumes tomorrow?
We may not have to.
Hey.
You got something for me?
Yeah just the CCTV-
from the lab where Reva was running her tests.
Special delivery.
You were right.
That doesn't look like court evidence.
But that package-
doesn't exactly read David Gallo's DNA on it either.
It's not enough to prove our collusion theory.
Yeah but who's doing the drop off?
That might be of interest to you.
Gene's lawyer.
I need to borrow Rex.
Sarah Truong.
Ten years, no call.
And now I hear from you three times in a weekend.
And you are-?
Detective Hudson.
And this is my partner.
Rex!
Yes yes!
So I've heard.
We stopped by David Gallo's apartment to get a scent sample.
Reva, have a close look.
I want to show you what picking up after a dog-
really looks like.
Track it!
Oh!
Yeah cute.
He does tricks.
Okay okay.
Get him out of my rental.
Picking up the scent of a dead man.
That is a pretty cool trick.
We have CCTV footage-
of you accepting-
this package from Avery Creehan.
Right here.
We expected to find it ditched somewhere in the area.
But you were kind enough to hang on to it.
What was inside?
Just some papers for my services.
What are you getting at?
Reva, we can take this back to my lab to confirm.
Or you can come clean.
Did the Defense give you-
something of David Gallo's to test?
I think you and I need to go somewhere private.
I want to talk this over.
I knew you couldn't have pulled David's identity-
from that evidence.
You lied!
I didn't.
I told you I tested what they gave me.
You falsified evidence on the stand.
And was David Gallo not the man in the fire?
Didn't your little dog just confirm that that was true?
But how did he get there?
A criminal is about to-
let an innocent man burn for his crimes.
You're okay with letting that happen?
I made a call for you.
What call?
There's a senior forensic associate position-
waiting for you in Toronto.
Better hours.
Better pay.
And best of all-
none of this.
Once court adjourns-
you don't have to take the case home with you.
Sarah, what do you think-
is going to happen in court tomorrow?
I know that you can't prove any of this.
Otherwise you wouldn't be chasing after me right now.
I guess I'll just have to take the stand and-
tell the truth.
Don't you think the truth is for the jury to decide?
You're right.
I'll see you in the morning.
Hey, you headed to the trial?
Yeah.
Nothing more we can do now.
Yeah sometimes it's worse to have half the story-
and no way to prove it.
It's frustrating-
to be stuck in limbo after all this effort.
Well I'll just have to take the stand-
and tell the jury I wasn't able to replicate the tests.
What's up?
What is it?
He's got something.
He must be tracking David's remains-
from the scents in his apartment.
Charlie, this is the debris that I sorted out-
looking for bone samples that we may have missed.
There's got to be something.
Good job pal.
Sarah, I need you to come with me.
I think there's a way-
to save this case after all.
Rex.
That substrate definitely looks like a match-
to what we've got in the morgue.
There's also something in there.
You might need to dig it out.
Oh.
Well I only know two men who'd wear a ring this flashy.
And I don't think it belongs to Harry Styles.
I think David was drowned by Gene right here.
That's going to be hard to prove.
I think I have an idea where to start.
Your honour.
It's not every day-
you get to see the rationale for a warrant firsthand.
Make it quick.
So we suspect that the body of David Gallo was transported-
in a vehicle somewhere on this lot.
If we're right-
Rex should be able to lead us right to that vehicle.
All right Rex.
Track it.
Thank you.
Hey.
I need you guys down here now.
Okay.
What's going on here?
I need you to stall-
for as long as you can.
Sarah, this is it.
We're out of time.
Look, you asked us to get you a conviction.
I can get you the evidence.
You just need to trust me.
Yeah, I trust you.
Thank you.
You guys better not be hanging me out to dry.
No no.
Sarah knows what she's doing.
Don't hover.
I'm not hovering.
Rex.
Science demands patience.
All rise!
Good morning.
Welcome back.
Court is now in session.
Please take your seats.
We're not ready for closing arguments?
Your honour.
In light of last week's revelation-
I motion to call a final witness.
Granted.
I call Jesse Mills to the stand.
What?
Find Jesse.
Jesse Mills, what exactly is your role at the SJPD?
Well, I'm a Fourth Class Constable.
And Tech Analyst.
Like- you know.
A tech detective.
A tech-tective, I say sometimes.
Objection.
This witness has no relevance to the case.
No, let me get to it.
I'm relevant!
Okay I'll tell you why.
A team needs a foundation.
And some would say-
that analysts are invaluable.
People call me lightning fingers.
Order!
Good boy.
Thanks.
Your honour, I'd like to recall a witness.
Dr. Truong.
Were you able to generate a test-
that positively ID'd David Gallo?
I was.
I submit the following as Exhibit 73-B.
Now these results-
did not come from the arson site.
My colleague, Dr. Karma Poole and I-
both tried to replicate Dr. Warner's results-
to little success.
In fact-
it's impossible.
How do you reckon Dr. Warner was able-
to present those results-
to this court, last week.
She would have required a stronger sample to test-
as I had here-
with this sample.
And where did your sample come from Dr. Truong?
From the trunk of the defendant's car-
collected just this morning.
which was found-
along with mineral- enriched water-
from the aquarium in which-
David was drowned.
Objection!
Overruled.
David Gallo couldn't have set that fire.
He wasn't alive-
when he reached the nightclub with Gene Powell.
I want to see all the attorneys-
in my chamber.
Now!
Hey.
You should have seen Avery-
shaking like a leaf.
Unsurprisingly, Gene change his plea.
But given what's come to light-
we are pursuing first- degree murder charges.
Wow.
Yeah.
I hope you'll be available to testify then too.
Well that almost sounds like an apology.
But it's just-
missing something.
Mm-hmm.
Sarah.
I'm sorry for doubting you.
There it is.
Yeah.
Yeah, I'll admit that-
it hasn't been easy to-
adjust to a working relationship.
We'll get there.
I'll take the stand whenever you need.
We couldn't have solved this without you.
Oh!
That's what I've been trying to tell you all along.
Nice of you to admit it.
Which is why I'm giving the Powell case-
back over to Financial Crimes.
With Major Crimes on hand-
to assist if you need us, of course.
You guys have been chasing this guy long enough.
Your team deserves to take it across the finish line.
Thank you, Superintendent Donovan.
I just hope that there are no hard feelings-
when the chief job comes calling.
Well that was the right thing to do-
taking the hit.
You know what the chief loves more than a big win?
Interdepartmental collaboration.
The race for the job is not over.
Well, the Judge is throwing out my testimony-
after that little display.
So I guess we're even now, Truong.
Uh, for what?
Getting the high paying job over you back in the day.
Not that it matters now.
But since you mentioned it-
Sutherland Schmidt offered me that internship.
I turned it down.
Sour grapes, Sarah.
That's not a great look.
I'm serious Reva.
I'm not interested in payback.
I'm a scientist-
which is why I've reported you-
to the Society of Canadian Forensic Analysts-
for taking conclusions from clients and falsifying reports.
Okay wow!
If that's how you want to play it-
I will see you in court.
Not likely!
That must have felt good.
You have no idea!
Thanks Rex.
Hey.
