05x08 - Bury the Lead

[bunniefuu]

- CAMILLA: Hey! Sorry I haven't called lately, Dad.

- [BACKGROUND TECHNO MUSIC]

Just busy with school.

Uh-huh. I bet.

So, what are you up to tonight?

Uh, just working on an assignment.

Interesting choice of study music.

When I was in school, I

listened to Charlie Parker.

Hey, sorry, Dad. I'll

call you tomorrow, okay?

Listen, Camilla,

- you be safe, okay?

- Bye.

I love you!

[PHONE BEEPING]

[PHONE BUZZING]

Marisa?

[PHONE CONTINUES BUZZING]

[OMINOUS MUSIC]

[CAMILLA SCREAMS]

[DRAMATIC PERCUSSION]

[UPBEAT THEME MUSIC]

[OMINOUS MUSIC]

A literal underground rave.

I didn't know kids still

threw parties like this.

You would know?

Miss 4.0 GPA was going

to college parties?

Oh, come on, you know how it is.

- Isn't Heritage a party school?

- I don't know.

I was a little too old for that

kind of thing when I got here.

Oh, right. Yeah, you did

that Kerouac soul-searching

- biker trip after high school.

- Uh

The road is my teacher.

Yeah, you're never going

to let me live that down,

but you're not wrong.

Okay, this is Marisa Barnes

according to the ID in her wallet.

Oddly, we didn't turn up a phone on her.

Head trauma. Did she

get hit from behind?

No. We found traces of blood

on that corner over there.

So likely shoved

or hit her head in a struggle.

Wasn't enough to k*ll her though.

Bruises on the neck

probably did the trick.

Petechial hemorrhaging says yes.

She was likely strangled to death.

Graffiti on the camera.

But party right next door.

A risky place to k*ll.

[REX SNIFFING]

[REX BARKING]

What is it, partner? You got something?

[REX BARKS]

Huh. Good find, pal.

Okay, well the tox report will tell us

if there was anything in her system.

Yeah, this was a big party.

Let's hope we can find

a sober witness to talk to.

There is one person in particular

that you might want to talk to.

WOMAN: Are you sure you're okay?

Can I get you anything?

CAMILLA: No babe. I'm okay.

Oh! Hey, you. I wondered when

I'd see your pretty face here.

- Hi, Charlie.

- Hey, Camilla.

- Are you all right?

- Still processing.

- Tell him what you saw.

- I'm fine. Really.

I'm Detective Charlie Hudson.

Frida Xavier. Camilla's girlfriend.

Oh! Nice to meet you.

Frida, do you mind if

Camilla and I have a minute?

Thanks.

Did you know Marisa?

Yeah, she was my friend.

- A new friend.

- Uh-huh?

I haven't known her long.

I was supposed to see her here tonight.

I'm sorry. This must be really tough.

[REX WHINES]

[SOFT MUSIC]

She was bleeding

from her head.

Is that what k*lled her?

We don't know for sure yet.

Are there any signs students should

look out for a repeat offender?

Okay, I see what's going on here.

Your dad told me about

your newspaper internship.

- Congratulations, by the way.

- Thanks.

But here's a phrase you're

going to hear more and more.

- No comment.

- [REX BARKS]

[CAMILLA SIGHS]

[SHIP HORN TOOTS]

DONOVAN: I thought we agreed.

No partying. Focus on your studies.

- I told you the truth.

- What?

That you were working on an assignment?

In an underground rave?

I'm writing a piece on campus culture

for my newspaper internship.

Right, and that piece

requires you being involved

in that campus culture?

My professor says journalism

is nine-tenths being in the

right place at the right time.

Yeah, well I'm glad to see your

tuition dollars hard at work.

Is this about Mom?

Listen, Camilla.

You've seen first hand

that partying is a slippery slope.

Dad. We talked about this.

A lot.

You can trust me.

Okay. Well, just um

stay close by, okay?

We may have more questions for you.

- CHARLIE: Caffeine.

- How do you do that?

What? Read your mind?

I know how these late night/early

morning cases really get to you.

- You got anything?

- We rushed a preliminary examination.

We found traces of

chloroform on Marisa's neck.

Chloroform.

Oh, so somebody knocked her

out before strangling her.

Strangely, no. I couldn't detect

anything around her nose or mouth.

[MYSTERIOUS MUSIC]

[QUIRKY MUSIC]

Ha. You've got that look again.

- What look?

- Just, you know,

you go somewhere when you focus.

I've always loved watching you

work things out in real time.

Really? Are we still on for Friday?

Yeah, of course.

We can't back out now. How

heartbreaking would that be?

[REX BARKS]

[CHARLIE CLEARS THROAT]

[QUIRKY MUSIC]

- Hey, guys!

- Hey!

- Everything all right?

- Yeah, great.

Um, you got something for us Jesse?

JESSE: Uh, yeah, yeah. The source

of the baggie found on Marisa.

Adrian Svirsky is the campus

drug dealer. I set up a buy.

- Great. When?

- Well,

Donovan and I are on our way there now.

Joe's going to go question

a low level drug dealer?

JESSE: Yeah. Um, look.

You didn't hear it from me but

I think he's pretty

worried about Camilla.

Well, that makes sense given her

mother's history of drug abuse.

Right, of course.

Is there something else?

Yes. No, well nothing to

do with the case actually.

We're still on for Friday, right?

[REX BARKS]

Oh. I didn't know we had plans.

- I've got dinner reservations already.

- Me too.

Not dinner. Something else.

Oh! Yeah.

I mean, I did ask like a month ago.

At least, so

- Drinks next Friday at the pub instead?

- Yeah.

Of course.

Okay.

- Good job, partner.

- [REX BARKS]

Adrian?

I brought you that

muffin like you asked.

[ADRIAN CHUCKLES] Blueberry.

My favourite.

[TECHNO MUSIC]

What's this? Some kind of set up?

Adrian Svirsky.

I think it's time we have a chat.

- Have a seat.

- [ADRIAN SIGHS]

That's a lot of ADHD meds for someone

who doesn't have a prescription.

Yeah, it's exam season.

A lot of people could use a focus buddy.

Right.

We have witnesses who place you

at a tunnel party last night.

Is that a good place to deal?

No, I didn't sell anything last

night. I stopped by to see a friend.

- Marisa Barnes?

- You can't go through my phone!

According to your texts, you

guys were more than friends.

- Can he go through my phone?

- He's looking through your phone.

Someone in your business

really should set a password.

But you guys split up. I mean

She hasn't responded to you in weeks.

What does this have to do with anything?

See, your stash matches

a baggie that we found

on Marisa's body last night.

Agent Mills. What was the last

text message he sent to Marisa?

I need to see you. 10:45 last night.

No response.

DONOVAN: How did you know

she was going to the party?

We had tracking apps on each

other's phones when we were dating.

In case of emergencies.

- So you stalked her there.

- It wasn't like that.

- What was it like?

- I came to warn her.

About what?

This student page on Instagram:

Campus Call Out,

posted that,

my ecstasy

was laced.

Was it?

GRANT: I didn't know,

until a lot of it had gotten out.

Including to Marisa.

I didn't mean to hurt her.

But when I got there, she

was already on the ground.

I knew I was too late.

And I ran.

[ADRIAN SIGHS HEAVILY]

DONOVAN: I don't

believe Adrian's guilty.

- Even if he does.

- You're right.

Marisa's tox report came back clean.

- So we're back to square one.

- Not necessarily.

If Adrian was able to

track Marisa to the party,

it means she did her phone on her.

DONOVAN: But we didn't

find the phone on the body.

- Do you think the k*ller took it?

- That's what I'm hoping.

Jesse, any luck tracking that phone?

Uh, yeah. Yeah, but you

know what? It's weird.

The most recent ping has the phone

placed somewhere inside the station.

The call is coming

from inside the house?

I like that reference, but yeah, no.

It must be some sort of glitch.

I don't think it's a glitch.

Charlie, I need you to

prime Rex to Marisa's scent.

I need you to do it now.

[REX BARKS]

[CAMILLA GASPS] Hi cutie!

Hi!

Cough it up.

Cough what up?

[REX SNIFFING]

If I have to ask you again, young lady,

it'll be after I've

read you your rights.

Cough it up.

[REX BARKS]

[REX BARKS]

[DISTANT SIREN]

DONOVAN: You could be charged

with obstruction of justice

for a stunt like this.

I was going to give it in today.

I just needed it for a little while.

And when did you decide

to steal the phone, huh?

Was it before or after

you called in her death?

I was in shock! I didn't even

realize I'd taken it until after!

Look, every second that

that phone was missing

was crucial to our case.

Why did you even want it that badly?

That story I'm writing is about Marisa.

There were photos on that phone

that I needed for the article.

Why would the Tribune even want to do

a profile on a college student?

She was changing things at Heritage.

For months, she was running

this Instagram account:

- Campus Call Out.

- Campus Call Out?

Yeah, Marisa's drug dealer

boyfriend talked about that account.

He said that they

they made a post about

his dr*gs being laced.

Yeah and it worked. There have

been zero overdoses on campus.

That's what The Call Out was about.

A voice to expose

ongoing issues on campus.

- What kinds of issues?

- Professors accused of grading unfairly,

which guys were known

serial party predators.

Fights breaking out at the

campus bar. Things like that.

We're talking about gossip.

I mean, that kind of thing could

garner Marisa all kinds of enemies.

Yeah, the comment section

could get heated but

she was totally anonymous.

Not even Adrian knew

she ran the account.

So how did you find out?

I saw the effect The Call

Out was having on campus

and gave the page a DM,

promising anonymity. She

agreed to meet for an interview.

Okay. Let me get this straight.

First, you steal evidence

from a crime scene, right?

Then you decide withhold

information about a victim?

Camilla, you are my daughter!

You are supposed to

know better than this!

I didn't think it had anything

to do about her m*rder!

Nobody knew that Marisa

was behind the account!

You know what? We're

going to keep it that way.

Any article that you plan

on publishing is on ice

until this case is closed.

I can see the headlines.

SJPD Silences Press. You can't do that.

Then I'm asking you as my daughter.

You've already made my

team's job hard enough.

JESSE: I mean Marisa, she was thorough.

These Campus Call Out

posts weren't just gossip.

She has multiple sources

cited behind all these rumours.

- What was she working on recently?

- Well,

an anthropology TA was taking

bribes for higher essay marks.

A party DJ was preying

on freshman girls.

All kinds of people got cancelled.

DONOVAN: Yeah most people don't

like this kind of attention.

Is there any way someone could

track her ID through this site?

Not that I can see. She hid her

digital tracks remarkably well, but

I'll do some digging to see if any

of these angry comments jump out.

- Mm-hmm.

- Yeah, check out all the alibis

of the people she's called out

recently while you're at it.

Rex and I are going to go

check out Marisa's dorm room.

Come on, pal.

Any plans for Friday?

No.

No, Jesse. We'll be working

overtime until this case is solved.

Really? Well I mean,

it's only Wednesday.

- Plenty of time to put it to bed.

- Yeah.

[QUIRKY MUSIC]

Hi. Yeah, I have a cake order

I'd like to cancel for Friday?

Yeah, the one that reads

Happy 30th Birthday Jesse.

That one.

[ENERGETIC MUSIC]

[WOMEN CHATTING INDISTINCTLY]

[MYSTERIOUS MUSIC]

[REX SNIFFING]

I guess I don't need to tell

you what room we're looking for.

[REX SNIFFING]

[OMINOUS MUSIC]

[PHONE CAMERA SNAPPING]

What happened here?

[CHARLIE SIGHS]

Delete those. Now.

Now! It's a crime scene!

I need photos for my article!

Marisa promised me

pictures of her workspace.

You told me that nobody knew

that Marisa was part of Campus Call Out.

This doesn't seem so secret.

I thought no one knew.

Maybe I just didn't want to believe

someone would k*ll her over this.

Which is why it's important

that you work with us here.

and stay out of this until we can

get some straight answers, okay?

- Okay, Charlie.

- All right.

- That means now.

- Hey, Charlie!

Delete. And

you made me do it.

- [REX BARKS]

- Okay, Rex. Can you ?

- Go.

- Ughhh!

[CHARLIE SIGHS]

- [PHONE RINGING]

- Hey, Charlie.

Hey, Jesse. We've got

another crime scene.

I need you to send

Sarah and her team down.

Yeah, right away.

Hey, listen, I have that info on

the Call Out's targets for you.

Most of Marisa's recent subjects

had alibis for last night

except for one I haven't

been able to reach.

CHARLIE: Campus Call Out didn't

mince words in their post about you.

Grant Evans is a danger

to all women on campus.

He is a predator who brandishes

his charisma like a w*apon.

Hey, at least they called

me charismatic, right?

You think this is funny?

No. It was hard to hear at the time.

Still is.

You wrote underneath the post:

You better hope I don't find out

who runs this account. Why is that?

- What were you planning to do?

- Nothing. I

I was just talking about

taking legal action.

I was furious.

And I was ashamed.

What were the accusations, exactly?

I used to be the DJ that

everyone wanted at their parties.

- Uh-huh.

- It gave me the opportunity to

meet all the new freshmen girls.

Maybe flirt a little.

Uh-huh.

And yeah, maybe I brought a

couple of them back to my dorm.

Yeah, and I'm guessing this was

usually after they'd had a few drinks?

- Am I right?

- I'm not proud of it.

After the Campus Call

Out thing was published,

everything stopped. DJ gigs dried up.

My friends cut me off.

But I needed that.

A dose of reality, you know?

Campus Call Out did you a favour?

I'm glad I was held accountable

before things got worse.

I take it you weren't at

this tunnel party last night.

No.

I am persona non grata there these days.

Plus I was working a night

shift mopping up lecture halls.

This your work uniform?

Yeah, part of my atonement.

My parents cut off my

academic allowance so I

do custodial work on campus now.

It gives me time to think things over.

Why do you want to know

about that tunnel party?

Was Marisa Barnes

behind Campus Call Out?

I can't divulge that information.

I wish I could've thanked her.

I was kind of hoping I'd get the chance

- after the article was published.

- [REX BARKS]

What article?

[WOMEN LAUGHING]

Hey there, beautiful boy!

Come on, give him some love.

- No thanks. I'm good here.

- You're working, Rex.

So, I just had a

conversation with Grant Evans.

You interviewed him too apparently?

So first you want me

to stay out of your way

and now you want my help again?

For my article, yeah.

I needed both sides:

the Campus Call Out and how the

people she reported on were affected.

Reporting is a strong word, Cam.

CHARLIE: So um, so did you

buy his whole reformed act?

I don't think it's an act.

I think she did some good with him.

[OMINOUS MUSIC]

- Whoa, whoa. What's he doing now?

- [REX BARKS]

His job.

That paint.

You recognize that shade?

The graffiti.

Frida, what did you do?

[DRAMATIC MUSIC]

[INDISTINCT CHATTER]

You sure you should be doing this?

Charlie or Sarah can handle it.

Yeah, this is not exactly the way

I wanted to meet Camilla's

new girlfriend but

I'll be okay.

Are we sure she looks good for this?

Well, Sarah's testing

the paint on her fingers

against the graffiti

in the victim's room,

but the colour sure seems to match.

Do we have any dirt on Frida on

the victim's Instagram account?

Well, Frida never interacted

with The Call Out directly

but Instagram does has a function

where if you block a person's account,

then any other account

registered to that person

- Okay, Jesse, just

- I logged into Marisa's account.

I blocked Frida and then

dozens of other hateful comments

on The Call Out's

posts just disappeared.

Frida runs six other accounts

just to harass Marisa.

Look.

Yeah.

Oh, this generation has too

much time on their hands.

Frida.

Mr. Donovan. It's nice

to finally meet you.

Even if it's here.

Camilla tells me you're the

editor of the student paper.

Mm-hmm.

You really seem to

have a way with words.

Um

"Stop hiding, you liar."

"Scum of the campus."

"You better watch your back.

I'm gonna sniff you out."

We connected these comments

on the Campus Call Out

to you, Frida.

I was just trying to make

whoever ran Campus Call Out

rethink what they were doing.

Posting all kinds of

unsubstantiated rumours.

That's what this is all about?

You were offended as a journalist?

Twice the paper was

working on a story properly.

With sources, integrity, standards,

only for the Call Out

to blindly post about it.

- So you were upset you were getting scooped.

- Not just me.

You should feel the mood on campus.

With all these accusations flying around

everyone's been so angry at each other.

You must know what I mean.

Police and journalists

both want the truth.

- What Marisa was doing was

- Vigilantism?

So how is what you did any different?

The graffiti in Marisa's room?

The stealing of her laptop?

When I found out Marisa was

behind the Call Out, I just

It seemed irresponsible

not to do anything.

I was going to shut down the account.

- But it's still up.

- I couldn't cr*ck her password.

So you cornered her at the party?

Hoping to take it by force, right?

I didn't show up to the party

until after the police arrived.

Okay, I've got some people

who are going to confirm that.

You know, here's the thing

I can't quite figure out.

How did you find out that Marisa

was behind the Campus Call Out?

- I have my sources.

- You have your sources.

The thing is, the list of

people who knew about that

begins and ends with Camilla.

It stung, didn't it?

Camilla gets this big internship

and then chooses to do a profile

on someone you simply despise.

So, maybe you just sneak a

peak at her phone on the sly.

I think I want a lawyer.

Well, I hate to say it. Motive's there.

- It's just a matter of proving opportunity.

- Just one problem.

- What's that?

- Frida's hands.

The spray paint on them

does match the vandalism

but they're too small for

her to be our strangler.

I wish I could say I was relieved.

Okay, we need to refocus.

I want this k*ller found.

SARAH: Hey.

I, uh I just wanted to let you

know that Frida is being released.

- She did not k*ll Marisa.

- [CAMILLA SIGHS]

Well, we can strike m*rder*r

off her winning traits.

Liar, on the other hand

Yeah.

It must be tough to know

that Frida used you to

find who ran the Campus Call Out.

I knew Frida didn't like The Call Out.

I mean I didn't either, at first.

We bonded over how trashy it got.

And then what changed your mind?

When I began writing the story,

Marisa and I got closer.

I realized what she

was doing was important.

And she does

she did have standards.

And she just used social

instead of conventional media.

When I was in university, we

could've used someone like Marisa

to look out for students like that.

Yeah, that's the part

that hurts the most.

It's not that Frida went behind my back.

It's that she can't see that in Marisa.

She just wants to keep doing

things the same old way.

Is anyone else going to

keep the Call Out going?

Marisa worked alone.

Everything she was working on

before she d*ed is just going to

vanish.

Maybe that's the point.

Sorry, will you excuse me?

I should get back up there.

[SUSPENSEFUL MUSIC]

[CHARLIE WHISTLING]

Ooh, what've you got there?

Oh, you don't want to ruin

the surprise, now do you?

What surprise?

SARAH: Uh, Jesse, you

know, I was thinking.

What if this wasn't

about what Marisa posted

but what she was going to post?

Yeah, let me check the Call Out's DM's.

[REX BARKS]

Yeah, you know, I'm not

quite sure what she was

interested in here. I mean

the Campus Call Out has been

getting dozens of messages a day.

Yeah, well, maybe the answer is in here.

This is everything that

Frida took from Marisa's room.

PostHumanism and CRISPR

Technology by Dr. Alan Vane.

A paper on gene editing?

CHARLIE: Wait a second. I thought

Marisa was a poli-sci major.

Why does she have all

these biology papers?

Well, you know what? Maybe she

wasn't reading for a course.

Dr. Alan Vane is a tenured

professor at Heritage University

and Marisa had been sending

messages to his students.

Here's one.

"Please consider going on

record against Dr. Vane.

I'm here if you need a voice."

I mean, there are at least

a half a dozen of these.

- What was she looking for?

- Rex and I will find out.

We'll catch him on campus

first thing in the morning.

- [JESSE SIGHS]

- What? What is it?

The St. John's Tribune just posted this.

That's enough for today.

I think I need to have

a talk with my daughter.

[ENERGETIC MUSIC]

Excuse me.

Alan Vane?

Doctor Vane. Yes, and you are?

Detective Charlie Hudson, SJPD.

- You mind if I ask you a couple of questions?

- Well

Yes, I suppose so, as

long as they're brief.

I have a lecture to

deliver in fifteen minutes.

Sure, I'll try and make it quick.

And no dogs allowed.

He's working.

Be that as it may,

this is a sterile lab.

For the sake of ongoing experiments,

I simply cannot bend the rules.

Okay.

Sarah's rules apply, pal. Wait here.

[MYSTERIOUS MUSIC]

I'm sure you heard about

the death on campus.

Yes. A tragedy.

Did you know Marisa Barnes?

No, no. She wasn't a student of mine.

Maybe you're more

familiar with her work?

The Campus Call Out?

- Oh, that was her?

- Uh-huh.

Well, in that case, good riddance.

[REX SNIFFING]

A young woman is dead, Doctor.

Yes, yes, I'm sorry. Of course.

A terrible loss I'm sure for

her friends and her family.

But the witch hunt mentality

that she was spreading

around this campus was toxic.

Now would you mind if

we walk to my lecture?

- [REX BARKING]

- Hey!

No!

That dog cannot be in here.

I'll get him out as soon

as I call my forensics team.

- I assume you have a warrant?

- Yeah! Right here.

[REX BARKING]

[REX BARKING]

[DRAMATIC PERCUSSION]

CHARLIE: Rex definitely

picked up the scent

of something in Vane's lab.

What can you tell me about him?

Well, he is a controversial

figure on campus.

Some of his papers on gene editing

got him into some hot water.

Isn't that technology supposed

to cure cancer one day?

As far as Dr. Vane sees it,

modify human genetics in

some ethically dicey ways.

So how did he get on

Campus Call Out's radar?

Well, I spoke to some of

the people in Marisa DM's

who had Vane as their

PhD or Masters advisor

and not one of them

had gotten their degree.

- Okay.

- Dr. Vane claims

that their proposals

weren't ready to defend.

I mean they're stuck in

this endless revision loop.

- Can't move forward.

- So what, he's a tough professor?

Not on everyone. All those

students were people of colour.

In fact, there was only

one student of colour

who ever graduated

under Vane's advisory.

And that was going to be the

Campus Call Out's next article.

Racism in the Bio Department.

Still doesn't put him in the tunnel

party where Marisa was m*rder*d.

What if I told you that I found

a service tunnel access door

in the biology building down

the hall from Dr. Vane's office?

I'd say you're a miracle worker, Jesse.

Nice work.

DONOVAN: Camilla! Hey listen!

I do not appreciate you ducking

my phone calls last night.

- Okay, just don't make a scene.

- Don't make a scene?

So now, you know how I felt when

I was blindsided by your article

- in the middle of my work!

- Publishing was my editor's call.

There is a reason why cops and

journalists do not work together.

It is a race against time to put

together testimonies and evidence

before public persuasion

skews the facts.

- You undid all of that!

- Look if someone k*lled Marisa

because of Campus Call Out,

people need to know the

good that she was doing.

Look I read your article.

Okay? The writing

it was exceptional.

All right?

You almost swayed me, even.

What do you mean?

I mean I know why Marisa

was doing what she was doing

even though I don't

agree with her methods.

- You don't?

- No!

With all the evidence that she gathered,

she should have brought it to a cop

or a good journalist like you!

- What, so she had it coming?

- No!

- That's not what

- You sound just like Frida.

I'm trying to pay you a compliment.

What I'm trying to say is that

I'm proud of you

in spite of all the

headaches that you've caused.

[SOFT MUSIC]

And now that you've been published,

you're going to leave this case alone.

Right?

Right.

Okay, um Listen, I've got to go.

I'll talk to you later. Okay?

Hey! Thanks for meeting with me.

Yeah, I don't have much time, okay?

- I'm teaching a tutorial in ten minutes.

- I'll be brief.

I have access to the

Campus Call Out account.

- The dead girl?

- Right.

You agreed to talk to her

before she d*ed, about Dr. Vane.

But that never happened.

Listen, I changed my

mind about that, okay?

I heard Dr. Vane decided

your dissertation proposal

was ready to defend.

Does that have anything to do

with your sudden change of heart?

I talked to Vane myself

and he saw reason.

So your work moves forward.

Dr. Vane gets your silence on the

racism allegations. Is that it?

Is that what you think this is about?

Don't dig around this anymore, okay?

I've got a good thing going here

and I don't need anyone to ruin that.

[OMINOUS MUSIC]

CHARLIE: Good, I wanted

you here for this.

I thought I was going to

have to send Rex after you.

I told you, Detective, that

you're wasting your time.

I didn't have anything to

do with Marisa Barnes' death.

CHARLIE: Rex alerted to

something in this cabinet.

Let's find out what it is, shall we?

VANE: Careful. Please.

Some of those chemicals

that you're manhandling

happen to be highly corrosive.

Chloroform?

Just like we found on Marisa's neck?

You think you've proved something?

Do you have any idea

how common chloroform is?

[REX BARKING]

What have you got, pal?

[REX BARKING]

- You know, I think I'm starting to see

-

-

- what you had against Campus Call Out.

If I were you, I would cancel the

rest of your lectures for today,

Dr. Vane.

Looks like you did know Marisa.

That slander came to me anonymously.

I never met Marisa.

Well, we looked into Marisa's

claims. It seems like it was true.

Whenever you were the advisor,

your program became a bottleneck

for students of colour.

It had nothing to do with race.

Science is a rigorous discipline

and I accept proposals only

that meet the required standard.

And what was that standard?

I mean some of these must

have seemed interesting.

Who is Ellen Harris?

Um

a promising PhD candidate.

Uh-huh. Well

Marisa sent you these.

This is Ellen's dissertation proposal

from about a year ago.

And then this is a paper of yours

that was published several months later.

Seems like she recognized

some shocking similarities

between the two.

What exactly are you insinuating?

I'm not insinuating.

Plagiarism is a great way

to cost yourself your

reputation and your tenure.

You're clutching at straws.

I think I've humoured

you quite long enough.

I won't be saying anything

more until my lawyer arrives.

But thank you very much for

the exciting story, Detective.

Yeah. Well, don't just

take my word for it.

The journal that published your article,

they're looking into it too. I'm sure

they'll give us a straight answer.

Cheerio!

[DOOR OPENING]

[DOOR CLOSING]

Bad news.

Vane's walking free. For now.

- What happened?

- Ah, his lawyer sprung him with an alibi.

Yeah, we don't have enough to hold him.

Guys. Campus Call Out's posted

again! Here. Come look at this.

Dr. Vane arrested on suspicion

of Marisa Barnes' m*rder.

JESSE: Yeah and the story

of Dr. Vane's plagiarism

broke alongside it as well.

Wait. Who's taken over the account?

Did Frida lie about not

getting Marisa's password?

It's Camilla.

CHARLIE: Joe. Are you sure?

She's the only one who would've

had access to change the password.

We just released Vane.

If he's the k*ller,

he's not going like that

someone published this.

The Call Out's messages are active.

She's messaging someone.

- Here.

- "You're close."

"I have all the proof you need

to put Dr. Vane away for good."

SARAH: "Meet me where

she was k*lled ASAP."

She's going to get herself k*lled.

- We need to find her.

- [REX BARKS]

- Now.

- Rex.

[OMINOUS MUSIC]

[OMINOUS MUSIC]

Hello?

Camilla?

Grant, what are you doing here?

You're the one continuing

the Call Out page? That's

that's great.

You said you had info on Dr. Vane?

Yeah, yeah. Absolutely.

I have some friends in his program.

Someone said they saw

him here that night.

Great!

You can set me up with

their contact info.

Yeah of course. I just

I need you to do something for me first.

[SUSPENSEFUL MUSIC]

Help me out here,

Jesse. Where am I going?

JESSE: Okay, Charlie. The

nearest access tunnel door

should be just ahead of you.

Yeah, I see it. Thanks.

CAMILLA: Something like anonymity?

JESSE: Charlie, Camilla's

live-streaming right now.

I'm sending you the link.

GRANT: I just need a favour

since I'm bringing you this info.

CAMILLA: Don't mess around.

Do you have this info or not?

Yeah. No, trust me, I just

- I think that's Grant.

- The DJ janitor guy?

CHARLIE: Yeah, that would explain

the chloroform. Cleaning supplies.

- CAMILLA: That's not really how it works Grant.

- [REX SNIFFING]

[REX BARKS]

- I've got to go.

- GRANT: I mean you're running the account.

It can work however you want.

I just need you to take

down that post about me.

I'm not going to do that, Grant.

Camilla, be reasonable.

The punishment has to

match the crime, right?

Look as long as that post is out there,

every time you search my name,

The Call Out is the

first thing to come up!

I had bigger dreams than

being a janitor, you know?

Look, how long am I supposed to pay?

You know better than

anyone I have changed.

- But you haven't.

- GRANT: Come on, Camilla!

Of course I have!

Grant, I told you to meet

me where Marisa was k*lled.

How'd you know where to find me?

There were uh

There were a lot of

people at that party.

Somebody told me or

I mean, it was in your article, right?

You didn't wander the tunnels.

You didn't call out my name.

You came here.

Right away.

- [DRAMATIC MUSIC]

- [REX BARKING]

GRANT: Ughh!

- Come on.

- [REX BARKING]

- You okay?

- Yes.

- Took you long enough.

- Well, I could have used a head's up.

- But I did hear everything.

- It's not true!

Well, I do believe that

you didn't come here

to k*ll Marisa. Not at first.

But then she refused

to take the post down

and you lost your temper.

I just

I moved to grab her phone.

She pulled back but hit her head and

my whole life flashed before my eyes.

A new Call Out post about me.

So, you reacted on instinct.

- Ugh!

- You really haven't changed at all. Come on.

I didn't mean for her to die.

Well, you don't need to worry

about life after college, Grant.

You're going to be in jail. Let's go.

Hey.

Hey!

[SOFT MUSIC]

Listen, that was such a risky move!

What were you thinking?

I had to do what I thought was right.

Putting yourself out

as bait for a k*ller?

Making sure Marisa's work was finished.

[SOFT MUSIC]

I have to admit, that was

that was good detective work.

You know? Hunting

down the leads on Vane.

Yeah, I've got DMs flooding

in with people claiming

Vane stole their research too.

Yeah, well, I just wish you

waited until the case was closed.

We're after the same thing, Dad.

Just in different ways.

Well, I guess we're going to

have to find ways to coexist

if this is your chosen career path, huh?

I've got an affinity for the

crime b*at, don't you think?

- [DONOVAN LAUGHS]

- FRIDA: Hey, let me through!

That's my girlfriend in there.

Go.

Go on, go talk to her.

If things work out, maybe we

can have her over for dinner.

We'll see about that.

- Hey!

- CAMILLA: Hi.

- Come on.

- FRIDA: Um I'm so sorry.

I know this looks bad. I just

didn't know what else to do.

[DONOVAN SIGHS]

Hey!

[JESSE CHUCKLES] Hey, pal.

Is it just me or has everyone

been acting really weird this week?

[REX BARKS]

What? You want me to come with you?

Okay, I'll come with you.

EVERYONE: Surprise!

[CHEERING AND APPLAUSE]

[REX BARKING]

What? Guys!

Hey! Did you really think

we'd forget your 30th birthday?

No! I mean, no not

Maybe just a little bit.

Well, we didn't want

to ruin the surprise.

- Happy birthday, pal.

- Thank you, thank you.

You know, you guys

don't even want to know

what I thought was going on.

What do you mean?

Well, I thought that

you and Sarah were

- Were what?

- Oh nothing, it's crazy.

- Is this vanilla cake?

- DONOVAN: It's your favourite!

- JESSE: Thank you!

- DONOVAN: Mm-hmm!

Guys, how did you know?

There you go.

[REX BARKS]

Hey, you played that off really well.
