[ELECTRIC BASS]

JESSE: It's you and me today, pal.

All right, buddy.

Let's see

if you can b*at your personal best.

- [REX BARKS]

- Okay?

[SNAPS FINGERS] Start

at your starting mark!

I'm close behind ♪

The chill down your spine ♪

There's nowhere to hide ♪

All right, buddy! Are you ready?

Three,

two,

one, go!

- It's time to run ♪

- Go, go, go!

Go, Rex! You got this! You got this!

Let's, go let's go, let's

go! Come on, Rex! Come on!

You better hope you're fast enough ♪

Come on, buddy! Come on,

buddy! You're falling behind!

[JESSE LAUGHS]

- [TIMER BEEPS]

- Yes!

Good boy! You b*at your best time!

- [REX BARKS]

- Oh, we've got to go!

We're going to be late for Joe's thing.

- [CLINKING GLASSES]

- ALL: Cheers!

[REX BARKS]

I hear it's lonely at the top, Joe.

Ah, come on. I'm moving one

floor up. [DONOVAN CHUCKLES]

So, you think you'll have

time for us little people?

Some of you! Rex, at least.

- [JOE CHUCKLES]

- [JESSE CHUCKLES]

Interim Chief

Superintendent Joe Donovan.

Yeah!

It's got kind of a nice

ring to it, doesn't it?

- [SARAH CHUCKLES]

- So, what's first item of business?

DONOVAN: I don't know.

Probably rubbing elbows.

Department brass have a table

at the Northern Lights

Charity Gala tomorrow night.

Thousand dollars a plate.

That is some good salmon.

[REX WHINES]

Come on. Next round's on me.

I actually have to call it.

Charlie, did you still want a ride?

Yeah, I'm going to

stick around for a bit.

JESSE: Okay, well, boss

I just want to say that

working for you has um

it's mattered.

It's mattered a lot to me.

Hey Jesse.

I appreciate it.

But don't worry, I'll see you

every morning at the Mugshot, right?

Yes, definitely. Okay,

I'll see you guys.

Okay.

- Good night.

- Night.

DONOVAN: Everyone

drinking the same thing?

I'll pay for rides home too.

[CAR LOCK BEEPS]

Hey, hey! Hey, stop! That's my car!

Get away from my car!

- That's whoah!

- Are you okay?

He's trying to take my car!

SJPD! Stay away from the vehicle!

- [g*nshots]

- [MARJORIE SCREAMS]

[REX BARKING]

- [TIRES SCREECHING]

- [MARJORIE SCREAMS]

MARJORIE: Somebody's been sh*t!

Help me!

- CHARLIE: What happened? Anybody hurt?

- DONOVAN: We heard g*nshots!

- CHARLIE: It's Jesse!

- Call an ambulance!

[REX WHINES]

He's not breathing.

DONOVAN: That's a lot of blood, Sarah.

[UPBEAT THEME MUSIC]

[REX BARKING]

28-29-30!

[REX YELPS]

- Come on, breathe, Jesse!

- SARAH: Come on, come on!

SARAH: Go, go, go, go,

go! Keep going, keep going!

Where the hell is this ambulance?

- [REX YELPS]

- SARAH: Come on. Come onn Jesse, come on.

Come on, don't give up now, okay?

[SIREN WAILING]

Jesse, just start breathing.

Come on, come on!

28-29-30!

[SARAH BLOWS AIR]

[REX YELPS]

[REX BARKS]

Ahhh!

Aghh!

28-29-30!

SARAH: I've got a pulse!

- Ahh, okay!

- Okay.

SARAH: Come on. It's good, it's good!

We've got a pulse! We've got a pulse!

[REX YELPS]

One g*nsh*t wound to the chest.

One to the abdomen.

He's lost lots of blood.

I'm Dr. Sarah Truong by the

way. I'm riding with you.

DONOVAN: I'm right behind you.

- Charlie, update me in my car!

- Yeah.

Okay. I'm sorry. Go ahead.

I came out of the bar

and he was opening my car.

- [REX WHINES]

- And I yelled at him.

I didn't see that he had a g*n

- or I would have left him alone.

- No, that's okay.

Is that when Jesse came out?

Right. He identified himself as a cop.

And then

It all happened so fast.

- And then he sh*t Jesse and drove away?

- Right.

Did he take your keys?

No. I have them right here.

And I'm sure that I locked the car.

Describe the guy for me.

- What happened?

- He was wearing a hoodie.

[SIREN DEPARTING]

And maybe black hair or brown?

- I don't know, I didn't really see his face.

- [REX BARKING]

Height? Weight?

- [REX BARKING]

- Not a big guy.

- [METAL CLINKING]

- [REX BARKING]

Excuse me.

[REX BARKS]

[CHARLIE SIGHS]

PA: Dr. Andrews, recovery please.

- Dr. Andrews, report to recovery

- Hey, Rex.

Hey. How's he doing?

He's still in surgery.

All of this over a car.

[CHARLIE SIGHS]

[MELANCHOLY MUSIC]

[INDISTINCT CHATTER]

Anything?

No sign of the car.

[CHARLIE SIGHS]

I'm going through

recent car theft arrests.

- Anything with g*ns?

- No.

Just joyriding, some broken windows.

Stolen keys. But in Jesse's case,

the thief got the car open without keys.

So, do we think that he

copied the owner's fob?

Well, she was at the

bar for a few hours.

Plenty of time to get close

enough to her to copy them.

Yeah, well usually that's a

pretty seamless process, right?

Cars are often gone before the owner's

even realized that they're gone.

In this case,

the thief was interrupted.

Yeah.

And he sh*t a cop so

he could steal a car.

He's either stupid or desperate.

Well, the sh**ting was stupid, no doubt,

but the tech is pretty expensive.

Which suggest a bigger operation

than just a kid in a hoodie.

Right.

Did you show the mugshots to

the witness from last night?

Yeah, I went by her house.

She didn't recognize anyone.

But I'm hoping that Jesse

will as soon as he

wakes up.

[REX WHINES]

Rex hasn't left Jesse's

desk all morning.

[REX SNIFFS]

[REX SIGHS]

PA: Nurse Jamieson.

Please report to the

nurses' third floor station.

SARAH: Dr. Kelly.

How is he?

Is he going to be okay?

DR. KELLY: One of the

b*ll*ts hit his lung.

A second b*llet damaged the

superior mesenteric artery.

That accounts for the blood loss.

We'll monitor him closely.

You asked for the b*ll*ts.

Thank you.

[SOFT MUSIC]

Sarah.

Hey.

The b*llet's from a semi-a*t*matic

but the ballistics didn't

match anything in the database.

Okay, I'll check with registered owners

- and see if anything connects.

- [SARAH SIGHS] Sure.

There was a partial print

on the cartridge they

found at the scene.

Well, I'm taking there wasn't a match.

Otherwise you would have led with that.

No.

But

according to this,

there were traces of lavender

hand cream on that cartridge.

Lavender hand cream?

Have you called Jesse's sister?

[SARAH SIGHS] I did.

I told her that he's going to

come through it all right but

Charlie, I don't know.

Yeah.

[PHONE BUZZING]

It's the hospital.

Hi. Yes.

We'll be right there.

Thanks.

- What?

- Jesse's awake.

- [CHARLIE EXHALES]

- [REX BARKS]

[REX BARKS]

[MONITOR BEEPING]

[SOFT MUSIC]

- Hey!

- SARAH: Hey.

Oh, we're so relieved to see you, Jesse.

- Yeah, me too. Yeah.

- Yeah.

Yeah!

Jesse, do you think you can

take us through what you saw?

I just made a mistake.

I should have called for backup.

No, no, you

Jesse you might have

saved that woman's life.

Do you remember anything

about the sh**t?

JESSE: I, um

[JESSE SIGHS]

I don't know.

I just, um

I recognize him. I

think I recognize him.

You recognize him? Where from?

JESSE: I um

I think I've seen him

walking around with a woman, a girl.

They're always together.

Could be his girlfriend. I don't know.

Guys, I just I can't remember.

CHARLIE: Okay. Is it

any of these guys here?

Take a look.

Who are these people?

Well, they're people who have

prior arrests for vehicle theft.

Vehicle theft?

- Mm-hmm.

- Did my car stolen again?

[REX WHINES]

Hey, Rex!

Hey, I didn't even see him there.

He's just getting confused.

It's normal for post-op

but we should let him rest.

Jesse, did you recognize

the man from inside the pub?

I can't remember, Charlie. I'm sorry.

It's okay.

- It's okay.

- SARAH: It's okay. You know what?

- The most important thing is that you get better.

- JESSE: Yeah.

I'm sorry, guys.

DONOVAN: You think Jesse

recognized the sh**t?

It's hard to know for sure.

But he mentioned something

about a girlfriend

and Sarah found hand cream

on the b*llet casings at the scene.

Okay, so someone would have

to get close to the owner

- in order to copy the fob.

- Yeah.

You're thinking what,

a female accomplice?

I mean guys can wear

hand cream too, but

- I mean, it's a stretch.

- Okay, hold on a second.

This is the list of all the

auto thefts in St. John's

over the past while.

They've tripled in the last three weeks.

They're taking them from

bars, parking lots, driveways.

But most of the time, it says

here that people don't see them.

Most of the time, but

there are some witnesses?

Yeah, there's a couple. Here, here.

- Look at the statements.

- Yeah.

Uh, let's see. Late

model luxury vehicles.

High resale value, especially overseas.

Yeah, so they're shipping

them out of St. John's.

I'm going to follow up

with all of these witnesses.

[SUSPENSEFUL MUSIC]

CHARLIE: Walter Wales?

Detective Hudson, SJPD.

WALTER: Yeah you called

me about the stolen car.

That's right. You said in your

statement you got a look at the man.

Yes yes, from my office.

Short guy, hoodie. Track pants.

You find the car?

- No.

- Insurance said they wouldn't.

CHARLIE: Listen, the day of the theft,

did you encounter a stranger?

Someone that you hadn't met before?

No, I was in the office all day.

[REX WHINES]

Listen it's a cold day.

Um, if your wife didn't

witness the theft,

maybe she'd be more

comfortable waiting in the car?

Of course.

My dear.

We'll just be a minute.

Did you happen to meet a woman

the day your car was stolen?

You know, if I mentioned

that in front of my wife,

- it would have ruined the rest of my day.

- Sure.

Tell me about the woman.

I went over and had lunch at Élan.

I was at the bar, having a steak.

One martini in, and this woman,

well, she started flirting

with me. [WALTER CHUCKLES]

- You get a name?

- No.

Pretty.

Brunette.

- 30s.

- Mmmm!

My God. You think this woman

had something to do with my stolen car!

She may have copied your car fob.

Son of a g*n. [WALTER CHUCKLES]

Well, you know what, Detective?

I really don't need

this to go any further.

After all,

the insurance company

paid out on the car anyway!

Uh?

Yes?

Thanks, Detective.

Right.

Come on, Rex.

I heard about Jesse.

I am so sorry.

- How is he doing?

- Well, he's almost out of the woods.

Or so we hope.

Everybody's rooting for him.

Even the guys on my team.

Ha. Even them, huh?

Yeah! Something like this happens

and they're willing to

forget how many times

- Mills showed them up.

- Right.

Listen, Vanessa, I'm on my way out.

Do you want to walk with me?

Yeah but you know, I just

left a strategy meeting, okay?

And the police commissioner was there

and he was asking where you were.

He heard about Jesse?

Yeah and he said that

your focus and priority

needs to be on the

department. Not just one team.

Well, my first day as

interim police chief

and I'm already in

the principal's office.

Yeah, well, I never said

that I agreed with him.

I'm just trying to give you a heads up.

Well, I appreciate it

Vanessa but he's wrong.

My team is my priority.

How about this one here?

[MONITOR BEEPING]

No.

I don't know.

Is there any chance that

he's not even in there?

These are mugshots of cases

that you've been working on recently.

- Hey, worth a sh*t.

- JESSE: I don't know.

Maybe my head is just playing

games with me. Or maybe he just

I didn't even recognize

him in the first place.

I don't know. I just don't

Some cop I am.

Jesse, are you up for talking about it?

Yeah, it's just a headache.

We can talk about it.

The sh**t may have

had an accomplice, Jesse.

It might have been a woman.

Did you see anybody else outside?

- Anybody at all?

- [REX WHINES]

[JESSE GROANS]

[CHARLIE SIGHS]

[MARJORIE SCREAMING]

JESSE: Wait, wait , wait!

- CHARLIE: Cheers!

- ALL: Cheers!

Yeah. There was a woman

last night. She wasn't

outside. She was at the pub.

Okay.

JESSE: She was there last night.

Diana.

Her name is Diana.

She works at the electronics

store that I go to.

What does she look like?

JESSE: Medium height.

Brown hair. Um

she's smart. She's too

smart for that store.

Customers talk down to her

but she runs circles around them.

Can you connect her to

the man who sh*t Jesse?

If she works in an electronics store,

she would have the technology

to copy the key fobs.

There's a connection.

That's where I know him.

He would hang out around

the electronics store with

her. He was her boyfriend.

JESSE: SJPD! Stay away from the vehicle!

- [g*nshots]

- [MARJORIE SCREAMING]

Max Fontana.

His name is Max Fontana. Look him up.

- CHARLIE: Max Fontana.

- JESSE: Yeah.

- Yeah, look it up.

- CHARLIE: Max Fontana.

JESSE: Max Fontana.

Nice work.

CHARLIE: I've got a Max Fontana.

There's one in here. He has

an address on Lime Street.

No priors but he has a

registered semi-a*t*matic.

Is that him?

That him?

Yeah.

Yeah, that's the guy who sh*t me.

Rex.

[SUSPENSEFUL MUSIC]

CHARLIE: We're pulling up near

Max's apartment right now. Got to go.

[CAR DOOR SENSOR PINGING]

[REX BARKING]

[CAR DOOR SENSOR PINGING]

[REX BARKS]

[CHARLIE SIGHS]

- Looks like someone got to him first, pal.

- [REX WHINES]

[DRAMATIC PERCUSSION]

[MONITOR BEEPING]

- There, is that okay?

- Oh yeah.

Thank you.

So, um

Charlie and Rex found the sh**t.

Yeah?

Did he confess?

No, he's dead, Jesse.

[JESSE MOANS]

No.

Oh, I didn't wish for that.

No, I know. I know.

[SLURRED] It must

[SLURRED] It must be

really hard on his friends.

- You're still feeling tired, hey?

- Uh

[SLURRED] I should have a nap.

I have a nap. I take a more rest.

And get ready for the trial.

I need to see a doctor right away.

CHARLIE: I know this

is a difficult time.

Thank you for coming in, Diana.

- I'm very sorry for your loss.

- I just

I don't understand why

anyone would want to hurt Max.

He was just

He was such a sweetheart.

- How long were you two together?

- Not long.

We were more friends than together.

I know you work at

the electronics store.

What did Max do for work?

Um different things.

He was a drummer.

You know. Doesn't really pay the bills.

Mm-hmm.

Had he been acting different recently?

Like in what way?

Keeping a different schedule?

- Something like that?

- Um

I guess he was out nights more often.

Practicing with a new band, I think.

Hmm. Any new income?

Not that I know of.

- Why do you ask?

- I believe Max stole a car last night.

Max?

I had no idea.

Is that why he was k*lled?

Well, car theft can attract

some pretty serious criminals.

The model of car that Max targeted

last night is very popular overseas.

It's often

you know, t*rror1st organizations

buying these vehicles.

I don't understand how that

has anything to do with Max

or anyone here in St. John's.

If somebody were to get into business

with one of these organizations

they might find themselves

in a lot of pressure

- to meet quotas.

- No.

Max would never get involved

in something like that.

Max sh*t a police officer

- during the course of the theft last night.

- What?

Was Max the trigger-happy

type, do you think?

[OMINOUS MUSIC]

I have never known him to be violent.

Or do you think his employers told him

to steal cars at any cost?

Look this is all a complete

surprise to me. Okay?

Do you know where he

was taking the cars?

- No!

- Do you know who he was working with?

I wish I could help and give you answers

but I don't know.

- I'm sorry.

- Of course. Thank you for coming in.

I'll show you to the door.

Again, I'm very sorry for your loss.

DIANA: Yeah, thanks.

What do you think?

She tried very hard

to convince me she had

no idea what Max was up to

but she's in on this.

As soon as I mentioned that

t*rror1st groups sometimes

buy these vehicles,

she knew exactly what

I was talking about.

Yeah, but there's nothing

in Max's phone records

to indicate that he called her

the night of Jesse's sh**ting.

Did he use a burner phone?

She works in an electronics shop.

The key fob technology

would be no problem for her.

Yeah, but that's not enough

for a warrant, Charlie.

We've got nothing on her.

- We've got to catch her in the act.

- Yeah.

Chief Superintendent, this

was dropped off for you.

- Thank you.

- DETECTIVE: You're welcome.

I guess I'm not going

to be needing this.

You're not going to the gala?

With Jesse in the hospital?

Come on, Charlie.

- I've got an idea.

- [SUSPENSEFUL MUSIC]

His vitals are good.

Just now, he seemed lethargic

and he was slurring his speech.

Any dizziness?

No, no, not that he mentioned.

You know, that could be a

reaction to the anesthetic.

I don't want to be alarmed

but I am going to take him for a CT scan

just to be on the safe side.

[DRAMATIC MUSIC]

- [MONITOR BEEPING]

- He's seizing!

DR. KELLY: Nurse!

Push diazepam and call the OR!

- Page the neurosurgeon on call!

- Is it a brain bleed?

I'm sorry, Dr. Truong.

We need you to step out.

NURSE: Try and get him stabilized!

Diazepam!

NURSE: He's not responding!

- Call the OR!

- Pressure dropping.

- Flush his IV.

- NURSE2: Hold him down!

[DRAMATIC PERCUSSION]

[SOFT MUSIC]

Of course, we were

focused on the g*nshots

and a brain bleed wouldn't

have shown up on his vitals.

So, they'll operate again?

Yeah but there's a risk of brain damage.

I should have seen the signs earlier.

Hey.

Hey.

Hey.

You did. That's why the doctors

had a chance to react so fast.

Getting these guys isn't

going to make Jesse any better.

I know.

But a thousand dollars a plate

means a lot of luxury

vehicles in that parking lot.

They might have a

delivery schedule to keep.

Go.

You have to go.

You can't do anything here.

[SARAH SIGHS]

Bait car is in place.

We have uniformed officers on stand-by.

And our valet is keeping

Glad to see you made it.

Of course, Commissioner.

Wouldn't miss this for the world.

[SUSPENSEFUL MUSIC CONTINUES]

How's your man?

He's on the mend.

Good.

There's someone I want you to meet.

DR. KELLY: Just be sure to check

on him every half hour, okay?

Dr. Truong.

You can come in.

[MONITOR BEEPING]

We've done what we can.

All that's left now is to wait and see.

Do you think he'll

have permanent damage?

We'll know more when he wakes up.

Of course.

- The theft of a vehicle.

You okay in there, Rex?

Well, this is my car.

So, you must be mistaken.

Right. Get the registration.

Come on, pal.

- [DOOR CLOSING]

- What did you do with Rex?

Hmm?

I have no idea what

you're talking about.

Enough of these games, okay?

- This is the car that

- OFFICER: Appears in order, Detective.

Get them to check the

garage for the bait car. Now.

- You had a bait car at the gala?

- Mm-hmm.

The same make as my car? Well

- That's unfortunate.

- Who are your drivers?

Where are the cars going?

You know, you're so convinced

I'm involved in this.

I almost want to give you answers.

OFFICER: Detective.

The bait car was taken.

Rex was in that car.

[DIANA SIGHS]

Joe.

We've got a problem.

Do your people have it

under control or not?

That is what I'm trying to find out!

There's got to be a back exit

- around here somewhere.

- Leave it to them.

We are short-handed enough as it is!

If you leave, Joe,

you'll be the shortest-lived

chief in SJPD history.

That is a record I'm willing to set.

sh**t!

Rex!

Rex!

Charlie!

What about the tracker?

[TRACKER PINGS]

The signal's gone, Joe.

They've got Rex.

[DRAMATIC MUSIC]

Our team was supposed

to follow the bait car!

They made it as far as the

last location of the GPS

but the car was gone and Rex with it.

Wait a second.

I've got an idea how we can

find out where the car is going.

Got to go.

[DEVICE PINGS]

[SUSPENSEFUL MUSIC]

[DEVICE PINGS]

So, your dog was in this stolen vehicle?

I saw you copy those

fobs at the valet station.

Who'd you give the stolen keys to?

[DIANA SCOFFS]

Look.

I consented to a search of

my person and my vehicle.

You haven't got a scanner

or any copied fobs, so

you must be mistaken about what you saw.

We both know I'm not mistaken.

Well, without any evidence,

you have no reason to detain me.

Oh!

- [THEY CHUCKLE]

You had a lot of pressure on your brain.

They were able to relieve it.

Well, my headache is gone.

So, that's a good sign, right?

Yes, it is a good sign.

- Good sign!

- Yup!

Very good sign.

Hey. Uh

how's Charlie doing?

He thinks the woman from

the electronics store

was Max's accomplice. You were right.

He and Joe are out looking for her.

And Rex?

He's with them.

Did the GPS on her car not move?

No, but she could have

found it and taken it out.

- Okay. Well

- [PHONE PINGS]

Hold on.

We've got two ships leaving the

harbour first thing in the morning.

One's going to Antigua.

The other one's going to Ghana.

Rex could be shipped to Ghana?

We're going to find him.

Let's check the harbour.

We can't stop loading, buddy!

I wouldn't do that.

Easy now.

[REX BARKING]

I've got this, Charlie.

Thanks, Joe.

Come on.

- Let's go.

- [REX BARKS]

Turn around. You need not say anything.

JESSE: Okay, so you

broke the car-jacking ring

but who k*lled Max?

- Hey!

- That was Diana.

Her g*n matched the ballistics

and her fingerprints matched the partial

in the cartridges on your case.

CHARLIE: So, we think we can make

accessory charges stick there, too.

Wow.

That's a pretty exciting first

few days as interim chief!

Huh, boss?

Yeah. Uh, about that

- What?

- I may have used my title

to shut down the docks

for a few hours. And

well, it didn't sit well

with the Port Authority CEO.

[REX WHINES]

So, to make a long story short,

I've been fired.

You got fired? You're kidding me!

Yeah, that's okay, though! Turns out

Superintendent Lewis

got the job after all.

- [JESSE EXHALES]

- SARAH: I think you would have made

a great Chief Superintendent, Joe.

Well, thank you.

But you know what? Major Crimes

is always going to be my home.

SARAH: Hey, Jesse. Did

your brush with death

give you any insight into your life?

You can relate, huh?

Yeah, yeah, I just don't want to

waste the time that I have left.

So, with your support, I

I want to go for my qualifications exam.

To be a detective?

Yeah.

I'll write you a reference letter.

Thanks.

What do you think, Joe? Do you

think there's room in Major Crimes

for a Detective Mills?

Well, how about you pass first

- and then we'll talk.

- [JESSE CHUCKLES]

JESSE: Okay.

Then who knows, maybe

I'll get a dog, too!

- What do you think, Rex?

- [REX BARKS]

- [SARAH CHUCKLES]

- I didn't mean it!

I'm sorry. I'm sorry,

it was only ever you.

- Yeah.

Oh! Speaking of Lewis

I'll see you, guys.

Hey!

I won't let you down ♪
