[UPBEAT MUSIC]

[PEOPLE CHEERING]

So, I was working right
over there behind the bar

when I won my first seat!

- PEOPLE: Fulford! Fulford! Fulford! Fulford!
- [THEY CHUCKLE]

It goes to show you never
know what's around the corner.

I did too.

- You didn't!
- Yeah.

And I also didn't know
what was around the corner.

[THEY LAUGH]

- Brandon, this is Stephanie.
- STEPHANIE: A pleasure.

- A pleasure.
- FULFORD: So, what have we got on today?

SANCHEZ: Both from Quidi Vidi.

Born on the same street 30 years apart.

She went to Parliament
and he went to prison.

At the end of the day, they're more
similar than they are different.

REPORTER: That's a nice sound byte.

Do you believe it?

The question is...

Do you?

JESSE: Hi, buddy!

Hi!

Wow. You guys look tired!

A couple of extra double
sh*ts of espresso in that?

- I think mine's a triple.
- We were up late.

It's our anniversary.

JESSE: Wow, two years!

Hey, how was Al Volto?

I can never sleep
after a big meal either.

Pretty good.

- [SARAH LAUGHS]
- DONOVAN: Charlie.

- Yeah.
- This is Ted Kaczmerek.

DONOVAN: He wants to
talk to a detective.

[REX YELPS]

This is good.

You're going to need a dog.

That's, uh... Rex.

DONOVAN: Uh, Ted, will
you please tell Detective Hudson

what you came to report?

[TED CLEARS THROAT] Right.
Well, it hasn't happened yet.

It's about Karla Fulford,

the minister of justice.

She's in town for an
announcement, right?

- Mm-hmm.
- TED: I have reason to believe

that she's about to be
the victim of a bombing.

I'm sorry, Ted, are you
issuing a b*mb thr*at?

What? No! But I do think you
need to be looking for a b*mb.

CHARLIE: Mm-hmm. Who's your source?

I can't say.

Should we notify her security?

DONOVAN: No. The minister of justice

doesn't have her own security detail.

Charlie, why don't you
and Rex check it out.

Okay. Come on.

- Ah, hey!
- Yeah?

- You stay here.
- Oh.

- Jesse, make sure he stays here.
- Got it.

You stay right here.

Okay.

[FULFORD LAUGHS] It's
wonderful to see you!

- WOMAN: Thank you for coming!
- FULFORD: Thank you!

[INDISTINCT CHATTER]

Go on, partner.

[REX SNIFFS]

Okay, whatever. We'll just push it.

Okay, I can do that. I've just got to...

- send her a text. Okay.
- Yeah, handle that, okay?

[REX SNIFFING]

We're leaving shortly.

Almost on schedule. The
minister is wrapping up to leave.

So, I'll have there as quick as I can.

[REX SNIFFING]

[DRAMATIC MUSIC]

[REX SNIFFS]

[REX BARKING]

[REX BARKS]

- [DEVICE BEEPING]
- [REX BARKING]

[DEVICE BEEPING]

Rex. Get everyone out of here!

Go, go, go!

[REX BARKING]

Everyone get back!

Stephanie.

CHARLIE: There's a b*mb!

- Come on!
- What?

- [REX BARKING]
- Ahh!

- [STEPHANIE CRIES OUT]
- CHARLIE: Everybody back!

- [LOUD expl*si*n]
- CHARLIE: Ughhh!

[STEPHANIE SCREAMS]

[UPBEAT THEME MUSIC]

[PEOPLE COUGHING AND GROANING]

MAN: Are you all right?

SANCHEZ: Karla. Karla, are you okay?

[REX WHINES]

[REX SNIFFS]

[CHARLIE GROANS]

[REX BARKING]

Yeah, I'm fine, I'm fine.

[OMINOUS MUSIC]

Stephanie!

SANCHEZ: Karla! Karla!

[REX BARKS]

Karla!

Is she okay?

[SIRENS APPROACHING]

[SOFT MUSIC]

[REX BARKS]

[FULFORD CRIES]

FULFORD: Oh no, no!

DONOVAN: The victim is Stephanie Reilly.

She was Karla Fulford's assistant.

Fulford and three others were brought

to the hospital with injuries.

Is there extra security at the hospital?

Already posted.

I'm on my way for a briefing right now.

Unless...

No, Joe. I'm good. I got this.

I'm glad you and Rex are all right.

- Yeah, thank you.
- Okay.

[SIREN WAILING]

[INDISTINCT CLAMOUR]

Sarah.

- Hey, you okay?
- Yeah, I'm fine.

- What have we got?
- The device contained a plastic expl*sive.

Likely Semtex.

It was a contained b*mb

designed to damage the
vehicle and its occupants.

There's an emergency
contact folder on my desktop.

Stephanie's mother's
address is in there.

- All right.
- FULFORD: Have Jill go over there

and then get me on the phone.

I don't want her to be
alone when I tell her.

Certainly, Minister.

PA: Dr. Pinn to the ICU.

Dr. Pinn to the ICU.

Minister Fulford.

SJPD Superintendent Joe
Donovan, Major Crimes.

I'm sorry about what's happened.

And the loss of your staff member.

Thank you.

Do you believe that this
was politically motivated?

It's still too soon to say.

There are some online groups

you should look into.
My staff has a list.

Arthur Charland's supporters

have very strong feelings about me.

The leader of the opposition

and your likely opponent
in the next election.

Now to be clear,

I do not believe that Arthur would
have anything to do with this.

But he does stoke discontent.

Also the timing of this is significant.

I understand you were set to
announce your candidacy this afternoon.

Will you postpone that announcement
in light of the circumstances?

A lovely young woman is dead.

Superintendent.

How did your team know about the b*mb?

Ted, how could you know about the b*mb

if you didn't have
anything to do with it?

No one told me about it.

I have nothing to do with it.

I've never been anywhere
near Karla Fulford

and I have no reason to harm her.

- Are you protecting someone else?
- No.

Okay, you understand how this
is really hard to believe.

You knew the b*mb would be there, but,

you don't have any
other information at all?

Yeah, it's hard to explain

and I couldn't say anything
when I first came in

because I knew none of you
would take me seriously.

We are taking you very
seriously now, Ted.

Do you believe in time travel?

Are you telling me that
you came from the future

to warn us about an
assassination attempt

on the future prime minister?

- Yes.
- Yes.

Okay. My bosses are going to hate this

but tell me more.

Yes, according to the
minister's schedule,

we were running three minutes late

when we went to get in the car.

The b*mb was set to be detonated
when you were in the vehicle.

Who had access to your schedule?

Aside from our team,

two other people had Minister
Fulford's itinerary for today.

Mabel Holness, a journalist.

She's writing a profile
on Minister Fulford.

- Mm-hmm.
- And Brandon Keillor.

That's him there.

Karla invited him to speak
at her events this week.

Hmm.

He's the only convicted
criminal I know of

who was anywhere near us this morning.

GIRL: Daddy!

BRANDON: Hey, baby!

- Brandon!
- BRANDON: Oh my God.

Oh my God! You scared the
living daylights out of me!

- It's okay, it's all right.
- Poor baby!

But Daddy's okay.

- This doesn't hurt.
- Yeah!

BRANDON: Not at all. I'm
just so happy to see you.

Daddy's okay. Daddy's okay.

BRANDON: Thank you.

Thank you so much.

FULFORD: There's my brave hero.

Thank you for saving my life, Rex.

And you, too, Detective
Hudson. Thank you.

- I'm happy you're doing well.
- FULFORD: Thank you.

Cameron.

I'm going to go ahead
with the announcement.

We can scale back the event.

Move it to the day after tomorrow.

Do you want to take a b*at
here and consider the optics?

I'm sure you'll consider
them enough for both of us.

But I will not yield to intimidation.

I know that's not what
Stephanie would have want.

Until we find out who
placed the b*mb in your car,

any public appearance is a risk.

Your team will protect me.

CHARLIE: I think Rex and I
would be best on the investigation.

FULFORD: Absolutely. Do that as well.

But come to the hotel
at the end of the day

and you can update me
on the investigation.

DONOVAN: The SJPD will be
happy to provide increased security

for the duration of
your stay in St. John's.

I will feel safer

knowing that my heroes are nearby.

- [REX WHINES]
- Want to serve on my security team, Rex?

[REX BARKS]

[REX YELPS]

It would be our pleasure.

The expl*sives unit is
analyzing the debris we found.

Fulford's vehicle went straight

from the hotel parking
garage to Quidi Vidi.

- Any cameras or attendants at the garage?
- No, no.

But Fulford's campaign manager
Cameron Sanchez, said that

everyone who should
have had the schedule

would also have been in the SUV

when the b*mb was
supposed to be detonated.

Minister Fulford, of course,

was expected in the car.

But there was also supposed to be

Mabel Holness, Cameron Sanchez...

Yeah, and Brandon Keillor,

local poster boy for
Fulford's campaign launch.

He got his life back on track

after his wife d*ed five years
ago because of an overdose.

Brandon himself spent five years
in prison for drug charges.

So, his mother-in-law, Carina Wheeler,

she took care of his kid
while his was in jail.

SARAH: Regardless,
Brandon's behavioural profile,

including his status
as an addict in recovery

and his previous incarceration

doesn't really line up with what
you would expect to see in a bomber.

You think the b*mb was
a political statement?

Well, it was likely someone who
was feeling aggrieved and powerless.

Bombers cast themselves as
David to the target's Goliath.

Okay, what about the tipster?

He has to be involved somehow.
His intel came from somewhere.

JESSE: He claims
to have no link to Fulford

or anybody she works with

and says he doesn't know
who planted the b*mb.

- Okay, Rex and I will check him out.
- Charlie.

It's possible he really doesn't
know who planted the b*mb.

The only connection I found

between Ted and Fulford's entourage

was an online review he wrote

for a novel written by Mabel Holness.

So, what excuse did he give for knowing

about the b*mb in advance, Jesse?

He said he's a time traveller.

[QUIRKY MUSIC]

There are scientists that believe
it to be theoretically possible.

- Jesse.
- Uh, the important thing is

is that I believe Ted
believes what he's saying.

Was he showing any other
symptoms of psychosis?

Confused speech? Paranoia?

No, he seemed totally fine.

Except for the whole
time travelling thing.

JESSE: I mean, you never know.

DONOVAN: Sarah, talk to him.

Follow up on this whole psychosis angle.

And we hold him until we find
out what his real story is.

Let's go.

Tell me how you learned about
the b*mb on Fulford's SUV.

I saw it on the news a
few days after it happened.

And what was the report then?

In that timeline,

Fulford and three others were k*lled.

I'm happy I was able to mitigate that.

But, uh,

I wish I hadn't wasted so much time

worrying that you wouldn't believe me.

We could have saved that young woman.

Can you help me to understand
how you move through time.

It's not a machine
like in the old movies.

Um,

I navigate through tunnels in spacetime.

Apart from this event,

have you ever felt, heard, seen

or otherwise experienced
things that other people can't?

You're screening me for psychosis.

It's okay.

Uh, no. I have not
experienced any hallucinations.

Just the time travel.

Mmm.

CHARLIE: How did Minister
Fulford find you?

BRANDON: I was talking
about my recovery online.

And Karla said she saw
it and found it inspiring.

I told her, you know,
it's not for everybody.

Were you a supporter of
hers before she called?

No, I didn't really have
a lot of time for politics.

I suppose you've got to look into me

because of the criminal record?

And you had access to the vehicle.

It was in the hotel parking garage

before you left for Quidi Vidi.

Hey, look, I don't have
a problem with Karla.

I really don't. I mean, I've got family.

They can't look past
the addict ex-con thing.

Mm-hmm.

Karla says that she thinks I
have something to offer, and,

she sees something in me.

I mean, put yourself in my
shoes. I appreciate that.

Did you notice anything else
that was off this morning?

I...

She exchanged some words
with her campaign manager

- right before the expl*si*n.
- The campaign manager?

Cameron Sanchez?

Yeah, I really don't think
that guy likes me very much.

That's all I got though.

[SUSPENSEFUL MUSIC]

SANCHEZ: We're touched
that a failed assassination attempt

can make even the sleepiest
of pundits jump on board.

I always have a seat on
the bandwagon for you, Zach.

[PHONE RINGS]

Sorry. Phones have been
ringing off the hook all day

as you can imagine.
Karla's just freshening up.

- She'll be out in a minute.
- That's no problem.

I actually have a few questions for you.

- sh**t.
- Did you have an argument

with Minister Fulford at
the photo op this morning?

We don't argue. We have spirited debate.

- [PHONE PINGS]
- That's probably about Brandon Keillor.

My last chance to talk
her out of dragging him

on the national stage with her.

And I said I didn't want
to hear about it anymore.

See? Maybe you'll have better luck.

Yeah?

Yeah, I'll be right there.

Hello, handsome.

Isn't my hero handsome? Come here.

Come sit on the couch!

Hey, come here! Come sit with me!

- He's working.
- Oh.

Of course.

I heard you asking
Cameron about Brandon.

Brandon didn't do this.

Well, we do have to check into anyone

who had access to your
schedule and to your vehicle.

And what have you found so far?

Does the name Ted Kaczmerek
mean anything to you?

I'll have my staff check and see

if he had any contact with our office.

- Hmm.
- [REX BARKS]

[KNOCKING ON DOOR]

Oh, it's just room service.

[SUSPENSEFUL MUSIC]

It appears to be food.

If I may.

Rex.

Check for poison.

[REX SNIFFING]

[REX BARKS]

Okay, all clear.

FULFORD: For that, I'll
share my pork chop with you.

JESSE: The expl*sive used was Semtex

which requires all
purchases be registered.

Now, all recent purchases look legit

but there was a theft of Semtex

from a demolition company two weeks ago.

I'll try to track
down the employee list.

- Okay.
- Oh, also,

how was your night on Fulford security?

Uh, it was quiet but I did use the time

to read Mabel Holness's
political thriller.

The one that Ted Kaczmerek reviewed?

- Yeah.
- Any good?

Eh, not... No.

One thing was very interesting.

An assassination by car b*mb.

- Really?
- Mmm.

Maybe that's where Ted got the idea.

- I got something else.
- Yeah?

I was looking into our
victim, Stephanie Reilly.


from the Gatineau area.

In her final memo to staff,

she asks if a mole in their ranks

could be leaking information
to their opponent,

Minister Charland.

If Reilly did find a
mole in Fulford's office,

maybe that person thought
that planting a b*mb

could solve two problems at once.

Prevent career ending exposure

and stop Fulford from running.

Do we think the bomber was
working for Fulford's opponent?

I'm going to find out if he has
any connections in St. John's and

anyone who may have worked
with him in the past.

[KEYBOARD CLACKING]

JESSE: Okay, let's cross-reference
and see what comes up.

[COMPUTER BEEPING]

CHARLIE: You worked for Arthur
Charland for several years.

It would be understandable if
you still felt loyal to him.

I know Charland well enough to know

he probably would blow Fulford up

if he thought he could get away with it.

- Are you working for him now?
- Absolutely not.

That's the kind of rumour
that could cost me my job.

Where did you hear it?

Did you join Fulford's
campaign to undermine it?

You're giving me way too much credit.

Listen, a little context here about me.

I have no loyalty, okay?

Not to Karla, not to Arthur Charland.

I work for whoever I
think is going to win.

I have one goal.

The chief of staff job in the PMO.

The path to that is through Fulford.

I get her there, I'm set.

That's my only dirty
little secret, Detective.

I want to win.

[FULFORD LAUGHS] God no.

Sanchez likes a sure thing.

Information leaks, b*mb threats?

Remember, this is the
guy who thinks that

Brandon Keillor is too big a wild card.

Okay. Well, let's talk about Brandon.

Why him?

Tell me, Detective.

What would you change
about our justice system?

Uh...

I'd like for it to serve justice,

more than the law.

And you distinguish between the two?

I can't do that on my job but

laws are written by people.

They're not compassionate.

Even criminals deserve compassion?

Absolutely.

Well, Brandon Keillor is
a perfect example of that.

We grew up on the same street.

- Thirty years apart, mind you.
- Mm-hmm.

But he went to prison
and I went to Parliament.

Okay, so...

[CHARLIE SIGHS]

what's the message? Hmm?

Brandon lost his wife to her addiction.

He spent five years
in prison for his own.

His child,

spent five years without
a mother or a father.

His redemption matters.

Sanchez says k*ll it.

The voters won't like it.

I believe that leadership,
true leadership,

means showing compassion
for those who need it most.

[REX BARKS]

[FULFORD CHUCKLES] I take
it you agree with me, Rex?

- [REX BARKS SOFTLY]
- Yeah.

[FULFORD CHUCKLES]

[BUZZER SOUNDS]

Oh good. You're here.

The officer said you have
new information for us?

Yeah, about the woman who
was k*lled, Stephanie Reilly.

There was a listening device
in her hotel room.

And how do you know that?

I went back in time and saw it.

But I went to the hotel

where the Minister and
her staff are staying.

I overheard someone talking about it.

My team already searched Reilly's room.

- They didn't find any bugs.
- Were they looking for them?

Like I understand that
you don't believe me.

But, uh,

I have been right before.

He has been right before.

I'll let Charlie know.

- Okay.
- SARAH: Thank you.

Yeah, I got the key to Reilly's now.

Yeah, we'll let you know.

[CARD READER BEEPS]

[ELEVATOR PINGS]

[DRAMATIC MUSIC]

[REX BARKING]

[REX BARKING]

Excuse me! Move, move!

[REX BARKS]

- [ELEVATOR PINGS]
- B. Basement, come on!

Okay, thanks.

I might have something on
the stolen plastic expl*sives.

I compared employee records

from the demolition company
to people on Fulford's staff.

Brandon's brother-in-law,
Ramsey Wheeler,

he was on shift when
the Semtex went missing.

So, was Wheeler working
alone or with Brandon?

Either way, we have him picked up.

Okay, squad cars are already on
their way to his home and office.

Good. Have him brought to the hotel.

I want to question this guy right away.

Let's hope we're not too late.
Fulford's announcement is in 90 minutes.

Don't worry. We're prepared.

We have uniforms stationed at the hotel.

Major Crimes is on site

and the b*mb squad is in position

- standing by.
- [ELEVATOR PINGS]

And if the this bomber
decides to make another attempt,

he's going to have to get past Rex.

[REX SNIFFS]

CHARLIE: You think that it's gone?

Okay, find where it went. Track it.

[DRAMATIC MUSIC]

SARAH: Charlie?

Sarah, we never made
it to Reilly's room.

We're in the basement right now.

Rex is on...

- [REX BARKS]
- SARAH: Rex is on to what?

- Charlie? Charlie, are you there?
- [REX BARKS]

[PHONE BUZZING]

_

BOMBER: Hello, Detective Hudson.

- Rex.
- [REX BARKS]

- Who is this?
- I couldn't get a b*mb past you.

So, I've decided to go through you.

I'm sorry for the little trap.

I figured getting you to separated

- was the only way to get what I wanted.
- Really?

- What is that?
- I'll explain in good time.

The expl*sive you're wearing
is capable of k*lling you

and anyone standing
within 15 feet of you.

I have the detonator.

And I will not hesitate to
use it if you don't comply.

Do you understand?

[REX BARKS]

Yeah.

But if you follow my
instructions to the letter,

you will live.

You'll need your hands free.

I've put headphones
in your right pocket.

Put them in.

- All right.
- Good.

Stay on the line with me.

If you hang up, I will blow you up.

If anyone tries to evacuate
the hotel, I will blow you up.

If the b*mb squad tries to assist you...

Let me guess.

That's nerve.

I knew you were the right
person for this job.

[PHONE BUZZING]

[PHONE PINGS]

Uniforms haven't been able
to locate Ramsey Wheeler

and Charlie's still not answering.

Okay, distribute Wheeler's
photo to all personnel.

I'm gonna go find Brandon.

[REX BARKS]

I know, I've got you. We're
gonna get through this, okay?

Very touching.

- You and your partner have a bond.
- Yeah.

I used to have that with someone, too.

It's a very special thing.

If you're gonna detonate,

you give me time to get
Rex out of the blast zone.

I make the rules, Detective Hudson.

I have no qualms about
using this detonator.

- Understood.
- But I'm a good person.

I have every hope you
and Rex will succeed.

Charlie?

Tell me about the decision

to go ahead with your
announcement despite the bombing.

It wasn't an easy decision
but it is a simple one.

Leave the world better
than you found it.

That's my purpose in everything I do.

When we let v*olence
or hatred control us,

then we're distracted from our purpose.

MABEL: Superintendent, does the
SJPD agree with the decision

to go ahead with the public event today?

We are taking all
reasonable precautions.

I need to speak to Brandon Keillor.

He was here just a moment ago.
We were reviewing his speech.

He can't have gone far. We're
due on stage in 20 minutes.

- Can we take it off?
- No, no.

BOMBER: Who is that?
Who are you talking to?

I told you! No b*mb squad!

CHARLIE: That's Sarah. She's forensics.

She's not b*mb squad.

BOMBER: All right.

In that case, she's
welcome to take a look.

She'll find the vest is wired to blow

if you try to remove it.

- It's okay, it's okay.
- Hey.

Be careful.

[REX WHINES]

BOMBER: Does Sarah want
to stay with you and Rex?

- No.
- Yes, yes, I do.

BOMBER: I suppose that's fine.

It doesn't change anything.

As long as you both follow the rules.

[BEEPING]

I'll go over what I've already
told the good detective.

No b*mb squad.

Is that clear?

- Yes, I understand.
- [BEEPING CONTINUES]

There's a heavy police presence outside.

BOMBER: That's why I have you.

I bet now you're wishing

you didn't interfere
the first time around.

I can't allow innocent
people to be harmed.

_

BOMBER: All for the
greater good, Detective.

All for the greater good.

JESSE: Hey.

I just heard from Sarah.
She's with Charlie.

- There's a b*mb.
- [DRAMATIC MUSIC]

- FULFORD: Are we safe here?
- SANCHEZ: What do we know?

The b*mb squad is standing by.

- What's the exact location?
- Sarah said no b*mb squad.

The device is on Charlie.

What does that mean?

On Charlie?

It means they'll k*ll him,

if we send the b*mb squad in.

BOMBER: It's almost time.

Listen to my instructions
very carefully.

There is a lock on the
bottom left side of the vest.

If I give you the code for it,

you will be able to take
the vest off safely.

But you need to do everything
else I tell you to first.

- I'm listening.
- BOMBER: I assume by now

you're in contact with your team.

Tell them Karla Fulford's announcement

is to go ahead exactly as planned.

Without exception.

- Without exception.
- BOMBER: You will walk upstairs.

I will direct you to the rear door

of Fulford's conference room.

When I tell you, you will enter the room

and hand Fulford your phone.

Then I will give her
the code to release you.

You will leave the b*mb on that stage

and you'll be able to walk away.

CHARLIE: You want me
to help k*ll Fulford

and everybody in that room.

I can't do that.

BOMBER: Think about it
very carefully, Detective.

- You don't want to die.
- [REX BARKS]

We have to evacuate.

We cannot put all these
innocent people at risk.

Charlie would say the same thing.

Okay, maybe Charlie and
Rex will find a way out.

Will they have time?

FULFORD: We're scheduled
to start in a few minutes.

Sarah says the bomber is demanding

- that the announcement go ahead.
- Yeah, of course they are.

They want me there.

And the cameras.

They want this all to
play out on television.

But if we stop it, Charlie dies.

You do not leave without
an officer beside you.

Charlie will not endanger
anyone. Even if it means...

He knows what he's doing.

We go ahead, then.

SANCHEZ: Okay, then we need Brandon.

Where is Brandon?

BOMBER: I can tell that
you care for Sarah.

Is she more than a colleague to you?

Yes.

BOMBER: Is she your wife?

Not yet.

BOMBER: And you don't
seem like the kind of man

who would let a woman he cares about die

when he can stop it.

He isn't.

BOMBER: Good. That kind of
man is not fit to breathe.

Now you are going to set things right.

See justice done.

CHARLIE: How can we help you do that?

-_
- BOMBER: You deliver the b*mb.

If that convinces Karla Fulford
to announce her resignation

and to send Brandon back to jail,

maybe no one has to die.

Anything Fulford agrees to
today will be under duress.

BOMBER: You may be right but I'm
the one holding the detonator.

What I say goes.

Unless you'd like me
to end this right now.

So, what do you say, Detective?

Are you ready to start walking?

- Yes.
- BOMBER: Wise decision.

It's time.

[FEMALE VOCALIZING]

Excuse me.

[INDISTINCT POLICE RADIO]

[INDISTINCT CHATTER]

DONOVAN: Hey. Where have you been?

I had to take care of
my kid. What's going on?

They're about to start. They
need you on stage right away.

Listen, my sitter bailed on me.

I mean, I could take
her on stage with me

- if it's okay with Karla, but...
- I'll take care of her.

Hey!

Come on.

Okay.

Listen, you're gonna go with
the nice policeman, okay?

Daddy will see you after the speech.

Okay, I'll see you soon.

Daddy loves you.

DONOVAN: Okay. Hurry up, go on!

- BRANDON: Okay, Daddy loves you.
- Hey!

Hey!

Hey, do you like to go fast?

Huh?

Okay, we are gonna go fast, right?

Like a race! Zoom zoom!

Zoom, zoom! Zoom, zoom, zoom, zoom!

[FEMALE VOCALIZING]

[AUDIENCE APPLAUDS]

[AUDIENCE CHEERS]

This is as far as you go.

[SARAH SIGHS]

Charlie.

BOMBER: At the end of the kitchen,

you should see the conference room door

that leads to the stage.

CHARLIE: I'm through
the kitchen. All right.

I'm almost there.

[REX BARKS]

BOMBER: Open the door.

All right.

[DRAMATIC MUSIC]

BOMBER: What the... ? Stop.

[REX BARKS]

Easy, partner.

If I go up...

you go up.

[DRAMATIC PERCUSSION]

[DRAMATIC MUSIC]

How did you know where to find me?

CHARLIE: I know, I got you. We're
gonna get through this, okay?

- BOMBER: Very touching.
- [REX BARKS]

[REX SNIFFS]

BOMBER: Are you ready to start walking?

- Yes.
- BOMBER: Wise decision.

- It's time.
- Rex, track it.

Track the vest.

[REX BARKS]

I'm here.

I could k*ll you both right now.

No.

Because you have a granddaughter.

And you want to see her grow up.

Why didn't you just do
what I told you to do?

You want to protect your granddaughter.

I have people to protect, too.

Those people out there...

None of them care.

You know what happens when you bury

your daughter, Detective Hudson?

They bring you casseroles for a week.

They pray for you for a month.

And then you are on your own

with a pain just as big
this morning as the last.

Every day.

I want to help you with that.

[CARINA SCOFFS]

I do.

But we

both need to leave this room alive.

CARINA: That man brought
dr*gs into my daughter's life!

Brandon let my daughter
die right in front of him!

Now Karla Fulford wants to make him

some kind of poster
boy for rehabilitation?

She might as well twist the Kn*fe
in my chest on national television!

This

is the only thing that
will make people listen!

Carina.

You've already made it through

the worst of this. How did you do that?

My granddaughter.

I had to do it for her.

Right.

Your granddaughter is still
the most important thing.

She's still what matters most here.

- She needs her grandmother.
- [CARINA CRIES]

- Carina.
- Yeah?

She needs you to be safe.

Doesn't she?

[DRAMATIC MUSIC]

- [REX BARKS]
- CARINA: Aghhh!

[CARINA CRIES]

[INDISTINCT CHATTER]

JESSE: You. Stop.

Ramsey Wheeler.

We're gonna have a little
chat. Come on, let's go.

Detective.

Thank you.

Rex.

You are everything that's good
about law enforcement, aren't you?

Well, maybe that's what
the justice system needs.

- More K9s.
- I'm beginning to think the same thing.

- [REX BARKS]
- [THEY LAUGH]

Ahhh. Thank you.

JESSE: So, once Carina
Wheeler was in custody,

Fulford announced her candidacy.

Do you think she'll win?

- I wouldn't want to spoil it for you.
- [THEY CHUCKLE]

You know, that certainly was heroic.

And I've got to admit, I
didn't see any of that coming.

Probably because Charlie and Rex

already changed the course of history.

JESSE: Yeah. Once they
saved Fulford from the first b*mb.

TED: Exactly. Glad I could help.

We appreciate your insights.

You still don't believe
that I can travel in time.

Have you heard of Alice
in Wonderland syndrome?

It's a rare neurological disorder

that can distort the perception of time.

You think I'm sick.

I just want to make sure
that it's nothing serious.

I talked with a
neurologist friend of mine

and she said that she'd
be happy to see you today,

if you're willing.

If you could travel in time,

would you want to be cured?

If it means staying healthy, then yeah.

Stick to the timeline we have
now, Ted. It's not so bad.

Okay, Doc.

- Take me to your quack.
- [SARAH CHUCKLES]

[JESSE SIGHS]

Oh.

- Where's my... ?
- You'll find it on your desk.

[EERIE MUSIC]

So, why did Ted think that
Fulford was being surveilled?

Well, there was a news piece
from a couple of weeks ago

alleging that Charland
was bugging his staffers.

Yeah, we think Ted was
putting together details

from different stories and then

interpreting them as facts he
gathered in his time travel.

All because of a neurological disorder.

Which doesn't disprove the
viability of time travel.

- Not at all. Of course not.
- Nope.

But uh, you know,

you may have a friend in the
prime minister's office soon.

[REX YELPS]

Do you think Fulford will find a way

to make K9s part of her platform?

Hey. Now that is something
that I could vote for.

A dog for every Canadian!

That's not such a bad idea.

Because everybody needs a Rex.
