[upbeat music]

Hey Mark!

Hey Jesse.

How was Halifax?

Good!

Nice to see some old friends.

Some great meals.

Funny how this place feels
more like home now though.

You know what?

The rock will grow on you.

Yeah.

So.

How'd it go?

Good!

Yeah, she-she slotted me
in between a power lunch

and writing a brief
for a court date.

And then she told me
she still loves me.

So I guess you could say
it's still complicated.

Yeah.

That sounds like the
definition of complicated.

Yeah.

So where is everybody?

Joe's at a conference.

Sarah took Rex for the weekend.

She told me she was going
to be here 20 minutes ago.

[phone chimes]

I got her coffee and donuts.

-Thank you.
-It's a little cold.

Detective Mills.

Uh-huh.

Mmm.


[ominous music]

Where'd you find it?

Okay, are forensics
on the scene?

Cameras, any cameras?

Okay.

You get back to me
with anything you find.

What's going on?

A uniform found
Sarah's car abandoned.

Her cell phone and her
fob were in the front seat.


What about Rex?

No Rex, no Sarah.

[Jesse sighs]

It's weird she would
just walk off like that.


Where the hell did they go?


[dramatic percussion]

[Sarah breathes heavily]

[Sarah gasps]


[dramatic percussion]

What is going on?

Where's Rex?

Man: He's right
beside you, Sarah.


[Rex moans]

He's fine.

We had to convince
him to let us take you.


500 micrograms-

of medetomidine.

[man chuckles]

Who are you?

Well, if it isn't
Hudson's girlfriend.

[Mankiewicz chuckles]

Hey Hudson!

We've got a friend
of yours with us!


Sarah: It's a trap!

Stay away!

No, that's not
what we rehearsed.

Say goodbye to your
little friend in ten-


Nine.

Eight.

I'm unarmed.

Easy.

Mankiewicz.

What do you want from us?

It's quite simple, really.

I have something very
important I want to do.

And you and Wonderdog just
became my partners in crime.


[suspenseful music]

[Rex grunts]

[Rex growls]

[Mankiewicz chuckles]


[dramatic music]


[upbeat theme music]

[keyboard clacking]

Jesse: Okay.

There she is.

She came by Merry meeting Road.

[keyboard clacking]

Uhhh-

They're cops?


[eerie music]

Jesse: Wait a minute,
no, no, no, no!


They shot Rex!

Look closer.

It's a dart g*n.

Okay.

[computer beeps]

You're right.

[computer beeps]

Wait a minute, that cop!

[keyboard clacking]

[computer beeping]

[computer trilling]

Mankiewicz!

Okay, I'll bite.

What's a Mankiewicz?

He ran a criminal underground
ring in St. John's for years.

He's supposed to be locked
up in Ontario, I think.


[computer trilling]

Oh, geez.

Looks like Mankiewicz broke
out of Kingston two days ago.

I've got to put out an APB.

Command, it's
Detective Jesse Mills.


I need to put out an
all points bulletin-


on escaped convict,
Rupert Mankiewicz.


You're going to want
to let Ontario know-


their escaped prisoner
is here in St. John's.


[helicopter whirling]

Dispatcher: Ontario Air Unit


Officer: Oh,
you got him?


Dispatcher: No, Mankiewicz
was just spotted in St. John's.


Officer: What?

Dispatcher:
Ontario's most wanted

has just become
Newfoundland's most wanted.


Officer: Oh man!

Dispatcher: Bring it home.

Officer: Copy that,
returning home!


Dispatcher 2: And
it gets worse.


He's kidnapped
two SJPD officers.


And one of them's a K-9.

[officers exclaim in dismay]

Officer: Copy that!

Dispatcher 3: St. John's
Dispatch Central.


We're scrambling
everything we've got.


Send your identifiers now.

He's in a police car.

Stolen or replica.

Both he and his accomplice
are in uniforms.


Sending images from
the same pinned location.


Dispatcher 3: Assume Mankiewicz
is armed and dangerous.


Checkpoints for all
highways out of the city.


[siren wailing]

You have permission
to spot check boats


trying to exit the harbour.

Dispatcher 4:
Mankiewicz is out there!

Help us find him!

Officer 3: Yeah I've
seen this movie.


I don't like how it ends.

Mark: I know we've
got to do this right.


But every bone in my body
wants to join them out there-


finding him.

Jesse: Yeah.

[keyboard clacking]

Did you say he
came through here?


When we met him-

he was on trial for trafficking.

[buzzer sounds]

Charlie got wind that was
extorting his former protégé


from prison.

[door closes]

I'm not interested in
anything you're selling.

I know Boonstra's a hit man.

A lot of people know that.

The right people, at least.

Yeah.

And I also know that
you abducted his daughter-

as incentive for him
to do a hit for you.

[girl screams]

[man grunts]

I don't know
anything about that.

But what I do know-

is that in the ten
years he was with me-


no matter what
task I threw at him-

he never once-

failed to deliver
on an assignment.


Not once.

He's that good.

He kidnapped a
hit man's daughter?

That's a dangerous game to play.

Jesse: He used the
same strategy there.


That's how he broke out.

His people took a guard's kids

in order to force him
to aid in the escape.

Not afraid to hurt people.

No, he is not.

I have personal experience.

To get his daughter back-

the hitman was supposed
to k*ll a witness


set to testify
against Mankiewicz


My job-

Pick up, pick up, pick up!

To reach her security
detail, and stop her-


from coming out.

No no no!

No no no!

Get back!

[g*n c*ck]

Get inside!

[g*n fires]

[woman screams]

You were shot?

I was wearing a vest.

But it still took
me down for a week.


Okay, so who is Mankiewicz?

Wow, let's see.

Literally dozens of priors.

m*rder, trafficking.

Counterfeiting.

No, I mean who is he?

What's Mankiewicz's MO?

How does he operate?

Because they may never
find him in the streets.


But if we know how he works-

we can predict what
he might do next.

Once we figure
out what he's after.


Yeah.

Okay.

Okay, how does he operate?

I mean with Mankiewicz-

he could be standing
right in front of you.

You would have no idea
what he was up to.

Like-

a couple of years back-

around the time

we made our biggest
counterfeit operation bust-


Mankiewicz was
transferred to our station-


because his life was being
threatened in prison.


He's hard to read.

When you think you're
looking at someone


who's defeated and caged-

he's really more like a spider.

Motionless at the centre of
his web of vulnerable people


he's made into henchmen.

[Rex whines]

Waiting for the signal to bite.

[man grunting]

[Rex barking]

[banging]

Charlie: We need
medical attention in here!


[Rex barking]

Okay, easy.

Your cell didn't
open on its own.

Somebody had to disable
the security cameras.

How many people do you have
working for you on the inside?

Enough to get the job done-

Detective!

What did you think
I was doing in jail?


Twiddling my thumbs?
[cuffs rattling]

Man: Please exit
in an orderly fashion!


This won't take long!

But we need everybody out!

Charlie: So that's
what you're up to.


A gas leak.

How very Ocean's Eleven of you.

You're quick.

Yeah that was a nice move.

Get yourself beaten up-

so you can play the victim
card for a transfer.


When you find out about
the bust from your informants-


then just put yourself
right where you needed to be.

He manipulated all
those moving parts-

from within a high
security environment.

Wow.

What are you doing here?

Whatever it is-

it's not for a walk
down memory lane.

I mean, a smart play
would be to disappear.

Why come back to St. John's
where you're so well known?


And why take Sarah and Rex?

[Rex growls]

[Rex whines]

What are you doing-

with all of this?

I've waited six years
for this moment, Sarah.

You can wait a few more
minutes to find out, okay?


I just want to
treasure this moment-

where I finally get
to work with Rex!

[Rex barks]

[Rex growls]

[Mankiewicz chuckles]

[Rex barks and growls]

Ever since our last
meeting, Rex-


I realized I've been relying

too much on humans for help.

Detective?

You know, you might
not be able to help.

But I got a feeling
that your dog can.

What do you feed him

to make his coat so shiny?

It's okay buddy.

Charlie: What do you have
planned Mankiewicz?


Mankiewicz: Today, we're going
to learn about secrets together!


If I leave my money with you-

then all my secrets
are revealed!

That would make me sad, but-

Rex's nose here-

is going to lead me to my money.

Because that's what friends do!

Charlie: Why are
you talking like that?


You sound like a
kindergarten teacher.

Oh, you see, I've
done my research.

[Rex whines]

And I know-

that aggressive tones

might agitate Rex here.

[Rex whines]
Huh?

Isn't that right, buddy?

[Rex barking]

How's that research
working out for you?

I'd done research about dogs

and their handlers
in the military.

But Rex was at

a whole other level.

I was just getting
my first glimpse


that Rex has a sixth
sense about him.


Something sharper-

than his nose-

which is an amazing nose!

Finding the rest
of the counterfeit


should be nothing for a-

magnificent beast like Rex here.

[Rex sniffing]

[Mankiewicz chuckles]

Okay.


[suspenseful music]

[Rex sniffs]

You really are impressive.

[Rex barks]

Good boy, Rex!

It became-

instantly clear to me

that your talents
were being wasted.


Good boy.

Getting thrown away by others.

So-

I'm taking your dog with me.

[Rex whines]

You see-

he's the missing piece

to perfecting my
counterfeit business.

Because if I can fool Rex-

I can fool anybody.

And he just might make
it out of here alive.

Go on, pal.

[Rex moans]

It's okay, you know what to do.

Good boy, Rex!

Good boy!

[Rex barks]

[man grunts]

[men grunting]

[Rex barking]

Hey!

If you have to-

sh**t the man!

But save that dog!

Mankiewicz: I knew I
had to figure you out.


[Rex barking]

But I didn't have enough
time back then, did I?


Go ahead and gloat.

You earned it.

But imagine.

[Mankiewicz sighs]

In another world-

We could have been friends.

Maybe even partners.

Might have made a
pretty good team.


Let me scratch you behind
the ears one last time, come on.

[Rex barks]

Wasn't that bad, was it?

Rex!

Hey, bud!

[Mankiewicz laughs]

Don't worry!

I'm already working on it!

I promise you, one day,
you will be mine, Rex!


[Rex barks]

I told you before, we
were going to be partners.

And I meant it.

[Rex barks]

You're going to love
being a bad guy.

It's way more fun.


[dramatic percussion]

[Rex barks]


[dramatic music]

[helicopter whirling]

Air Service Captain:
Detective Robertson!

They're calling for
a seven block sweep


around where the
officers were abducted.


When you're done in there

clearing the building-

you can hand it off.

You two have had a long day.

Officer: No,
we'll keep going.


Give us what you got.

Bijou trained with Rex, Captain.

This is kind of personal for us.

Dispatcher: Copy that.

[keyboard clacking]

[computer beeps]
Jesse: Okay.

I've ordered a list of names

of anyone that's called
or visited Mankiewicz

in the past few weeks.

Whoever helped him
take Sarah and Rex

was likely in touch with him.

Sounds good.

But until we get a
lead from the streets


is there anything more
you can tell me about-


you know, how his brain works?

Well, he's not just smart.

He researches every
crime meticulously-

and runs hot and cold,
but mostly cold.


Even when things go wrong.

He can turn in a flash.

But just like that-

he's back.

Cold as ice.

Charlie: Where is Evelyn?

You know what I'm going to
do when I get out of here?

[Charlie sighs]

I'm going to go have
a steak at Edward's.


You been?

Tell me where Evelyn is.

You know what else I'm going
to do when I get out of here?

Hmm?

I'm going to take a
look at you a little bit.

You're a real
interesting fellow.



[ominous music]

So he threatened Charlie?

So he's fuel led by revenge.

Could you put together a list of
people he had a grudge against?

Cops, old partners, rivals.

Yeah, I'm on it.

[keyboard clacking]

Well.

Hey buddy.

Let's get this party started.

[Mankiewicz sighs]

You wanted an explanation.

Well-

here it comes.

I spent a lot of time
in the prison library-

reading up on the

SJPD-

and this-

magnificent beast.

Articles, news reports-

social media videos.

I came to truly
respect Rex here.

He's an athlete.

He's fearless.

He's brilliant.

And he's just the type
of partner I need-

to do what I have to do.

He wouldn't follow your orders.

No.

But he will with you
guiding him, right?

So back to the story.

The last time I was put away-

I figured one of my
people had squealed.

So I went through the process
of elimination, you might say.

But in the end, I didn't
think I got the right one.

So I kept digging.

It turns out-

the traitor was a partner.

A man I trusted.

Bill Sparks-pull him up.

Bill Sparks financed
my entire operation.


But it turns out-

he got picked up
on another deal.

Sold me down the river-

to save his hide.

So you're going to k*ll him?

Me?

No.

Rex is.

[Rex whines]

[Mankiewicz chuckles]

[Rex whines]

What've you got?

I just got word from
the prison in Ontario.

Mankiewicz had four visitors
in the past two months.

Steven Scholtz-

Thomas Reid, Curtis Murray,
and Roman Koniuk.


I'm still working
through the list.

Hmm.

Is there a pattern to who
Mankiewicz will work with?

Yeah.

People like the
hitman who shot me.

Charlie got his backstory-

when he was least
expecting to hear it.


I saw you at my place.

I know you're looking for me,
but I need you to back off.


I can't do that.

Boonstra.

You chose this life.

I was young and stupid and angry

when they brought
me in from the street.

By Mankiewicz.

I hated it.

And it escalated.

Mankiewicz kept pushing
for more and more.

Yeah.

And if I told him no, he just-

reminded me that I owed him.

And that he could end me.

So he gets them
when they're green

and impressionable.

What about this young
Curtis Murray?

Let me see.

The visit was two months ago.

Graduated from computer studies.

Wait a minute.

I think we just hit the jackpot.

His brother was one
of Mankiewicz's soldiers.

Very well.

Mankiewicz has obviously
gotten to him as well.

There has to be a reason
Mankiewicz specifically

wants Curtis.

What's he done with his
computer studies degree?

[keyboard clacking]

[computer trilling]

Well, he worked contracts

at a number of high tech
security companies.

See if you can find out what
systems he's worked on-

and where.

You think we're
dealing with a heist.

Mankiewicz could
do a heist anywhere.

I think there still

has to be a reason

why he came back here-

and why he needs Sarah and Rex.

Wait a minute.

I found a phone
under Curtis's name.

[keyboard clacking]

Tracking it now.

If we're lucky-

if we find Curtis-

we find Sarah and Rex.

Hey.

We're not going to
let them do this, okay?

We're not going to let
them make you a criminal.

You're not some kind of soldier-

who just follows orders-

who just does what he's told.

Am I right, Rex?

That's yours.

[toy squeaks]

And you can't come
with me today.


So stay home and be good.

[Rex groans]

[Rex growls]


[upbeat music]

Oh, Rex!


[music turns melancholy]

[Rex whines]

Hey hey!

What's wrong?

I was talking about when we
told you to stay at home-


and you did the right thing-

Hmm?

By knowing you had to go out.


[dramatic percussion]

[Rex grunts]

[Rex growls]


[suspenseful music]

[table items clattering]

Sarah: You very single
mindedly went out-


got the evidence.

You proved a m*rder nobody
would have even known about-


because you
listened to your gut.

Not to us.

You always do the
right things in the end.

Curtis: They're not
usually like this!


[keyboard clacking]
Mankiewicz: Okay.

They're going to take their
breaks at the right time.


Sarah: Look behind me.

Mankiewicz: We've
waited this long.


Ignore where the
guards should be.


Follow the man!

Sarah: You see that?

Right there.

Go.


[suspenseful music]

[Rex sniffing]

Mankiewicz: Look.

See, there?

He's taking a smoke break.

Curtis: Copy that.

Mankiewicz: No, he's already
headed back in, so-


Curtis: Okay, okay.

Mankiewicz: It's only
another ten minutes


till the shift change.

Curtis: Really?

Mankiewicz: All right,
we good to go?


Curtis: All systems
are operational.


Mankiewicz: Well.

Look what we have here!

This is for Rex.

[Rex whimpers]

State of the art.

Curtis went all out on this.

There's a camera, a microphone,
and a bone conductive headset.

Back to work.

We want to be with Rex

every step of the way.

As you can see-

across the street from us-

is Sparks

Fish Packing.

You remember Billy Sparks?

He was the guy
that ratted me out.


But he used one of his
underlings to do the dirty work.

And it took me a minute
to figure that out.

But now Billy knows I'm out.

And Billy knows he's
the next name on my list.


So he's upped his security.

Good company, too.

But Curtis here did some time

in the operation-

and was able to
access the layout.


The entire system.

So we're going to go in there-

and send Billy a little message.

So you expect Rex to just
sneak in there and attack him?

Rex is going to
deliver a package.




[ominous music]

Billy's about to have a
really bad day at work.

And if I won't to help you

turn Rex into a k*ller?

You know, I thought
you'd ask that.

So, I saved

a couple grams of the C4.

And it's here on Rex's collar.

If Rex does what
I want him to do-


we're all going home
in a couple of hours.

Sarah: What if it
doesn't work out?


Let's just see what happens
in the next two hours, okay?

Thanks.

[Rex growls, barks]

[helicopter whirling]

Air Service Captain:
SJPD Air Unit 500.

Tip called in from Shea Heights

was a false lead.

Officer: Marine Unit 178.

We've also been
fielding false tips


for the last couple of hours.

We're definitely being played.

Dispatcher: Yeah, we've been
chasing a lot of those.


[indistinct chatter]

[door lock beeps]

[Jesse sighs]

Jesse: Hey, anything?

I checked out
Curtis's apartment.

It was cleaned out.

Mankiewicz knew we'd ID Curtis.

He just wasted an
hour of our time.

I've got a fix

on Curtis's phone.

But it just-it doesn't
make any sense.

Okay.

Here's the location where
Sarah and Rex were kidnapped.


Now, the route goes

along Cornwall,
then up Columbus.

But then it starts meandering.

It was stopping and moving
at irregular intervals-


until it finally just stopped.

I've sent two patrols there

who have clear
eyes on the street.


But nobody matches Curtis.

Well he knew we'd be on
to Curtis and the phone.

He dumped it in another vehicle.

Something that would
be on the move-


to keep us busy.

So what's our next move?

Any opening Mankiewicz gives us
is designed to waste our time.

We can't play his game.

Did you dig up
a list of enemies?

Nobody stands out

as having a beef-

that he'd come back to k*ll for.

Nobody we know about.

But I think figuring that out
is how we get our partners back.


[ominous music]

Mankiewicz: Okay.

So this whole area here

does exactly what the sign says.

Processes over a ton a day.

But over here-

Well, this is
where the action is.


Sparks's private offices.

Protected by guards and alarms.

Normally it would take
an army to get through.

But-well we've got Rex here.

But first-

we have to get past
the perimeter guards.

But that shouldn't be a problem

for you, buddy, right?

Stealth and surveillance.

That's your kind of thing.


[energetic music]

[indistinct bar chatter]

[Rex barks]

Huh?

You can be a ghost
when you want to be.

[Rex barks]

Right, boy.

So now, once we get in

past the guard station

then our next
challenge is the corridor.


This is where it
gets interesting.

This is where we're
going to run into


the laser security system.

Imagine how happy I was to read

that Rex has been through
something like this before.

You remember that one, buddy?

[Rex barks]

How do you know all this?

Mankiewicz:
Prison library, baby.

Policemen's National Digest-
April, five years ago.

Our man is famous.

It's the identical laser system

used by M&B.

Armed and
impenetrable to anyone-


in theory.

The smartest minds

and tripwire alarms
up against you.


And I've got to confess.

I would have made the
same mistake they did.


But I did not know dogs
sense infrared lasers!


I can imagine how a dog
ducks under a horizontal beam.


But I'd love to know how
you beat the diagonals.



[dramatic music]

It should have been impossible,
but you did it, partner.

[Rex barks]

You did it.

[Mankiewicz sighs]

Okay.

But once inside, we've got to
get to the vent on the wall-

adjoining the offices.

You've done this before.

I read about a case

where you guys had to
get inside a sealed lab


at Cooper-Weiss.

Sealed, of course-

except for a way
through the vents.


A hidden route.

That's the kind of thing
Rex knows how to use.


Sarah: Wait-
no, hold on.


No.

Rex didn't just know
how to use vents.


That was a dangerous operation.

He had to train for that.

All right.

But tell me how they prepared
my boy Rex here the first time.


Well first of all-

they were off site.

So they had to improvise.

Renley: We've got three
lengths of carpet


to exactly match the lengths
of the venting system


leading to the lab.

He needs to associate

this precise distance
with crawling low.


-Charlie: Good job.
-That's a bit better.


The next one is the
fork in the road.

So you've got to get him
to go down and to the left.

-Down buddy.
-Good.


Go to your left, buddy.

-Get him up, Charlie.
-Crawl, pal.


-Crawl!
-Good.

Now get him to do it again.

Hey, buddy.

Stay.

-Stay, buddy.
-Now crawl.

Ready?

Focus, boy.

Come on.

You've reached the
fork in the road now.

We're going to go left.

Here, this way.

Left left!

Almost.

We need to go left.

-Yeah.
-Get on him, good.

-Crawl.
-Come on.

Crawl!
Both: Go!

That's a bit better.

Because it's test time, people!

We'll see if Rex can
choose left on his own!



[dramatic music]

This is the part where
there's a choice to make!


Come on, yeah!

Yeah, you did all right!

Mankiewicz: Yeah,
he had to train for it!


And it wasn't easy
for him, either!

But nothing worth doing ever is.

Don't worry, son.

It's just like the last time.

You go straight.

Then you turn to the right.

So now-

we're outside

of Sparks's office.

Rex drops the package, gets
to the exit, and we're away.


You don't need to do this.

I mean-

You could just run.

Sarah, it's-

it's the principle of the thing.

You know?

You let people who get the
best of you continue living-

well, it sends a bad message.

Then everyone thinks they
can take a shot at you.

I only wish I could have taught
Charlie that before he died.

[Mankiewicz chuckles]

Charlie: Oh!

To be continued.

[Sarah chuckles]

Mankiewicz: Keep your eyes
on the guy with the dark hair.


Curtis: I'm
on it, boss.


Mankiewicz: Yeah, that one.

[Rex growls]
Curtis: You got it.

Mankiewicz: Tell me if he
checks in with his team leader.


Curtis: You got it.

[helicopter whirling]

Dispatcher:
Say again, Lorraine!

Air Service Captain:
Boots on the ground

say the phone in question
was taped under the truck!


Your hunch was right
about Curtis's phone.

A uniform unit found
in a landscaper's truck.

So we know where they aren't.

I'll bet that landscaper drives
this route every Wednesday.


Maybe Mankiewicz chose
that truck and that route

for a reason.

To lead us in a
different direction

from where he took
Sarah and Rex.

It's worth a shot.

Yeah, look!

They were abducted
in Mount Pearl.


The landscaper's route winds
consistently northeast.


Is there anyone in
Mankiewicz's enemy list

who's located southwest
of where they were taken?

I'll look into it.

Yeah.

Look to see if any
potential targets


coincide with companies

where Curtis may have
worked in the last few months.

I suspect he knows
we're after him.


And he doesn't have long.

That means-

Sarah and Rex might
not have much time either.


[dramatic percussion]


[suspenseful music]

[Rex growls]

Hey.

We've been in tough
situations before.

Right?

When you're stuck, but
you have to hold back.


Remember when we were the ones

who had to wait it out?

[sensors beeping]

[airplane engine roaring]

Everybody hold on!

[Rex whines]

[loud crash]

Sarah: I don't know how
we were all breathing.


All of us hurt.

And there was no way we
could have gotten out of there.

We were stuck.

You were our last hope.

Jesse: Guys!

There's no cell service!

Go, go get help!


[dramatic music]

[eagle cries]

[eagle cries]

Woman: Hey there, boy.

Are you lost?

Sarah: If you didn't
come through, Rex-


I wouldn't have made it.

Jesse: Sarah,
come on, wake up.


Wake up!

Please!

-No!
-Rex!

Jesse.

Jesse: Good boy!

Hey!

Oh I'm so happy to see you!

[Rex whines]

You made it all by yourself.

Ah, you're my hero, Rex.

But now is not the
time for an attack.


[Rex growls]

Mankiewicz: Yeah.

Nice and snug.

[Rex moans]

There you go, buddy.

Sarah: I know
you hate it.


So do I, but-

Mark and the others
know we're missing.

-Mankiewicz: All right.
-
They'll come for us.

Time's a-wasting!

This is for you!

Go.

We have to do what
he says for now.


Here you go, buddy!

[Rex sniffs]

[Rex whines]

I know you know
what that is, so-


Go.

Remember, do the right thing.


[heroic music]

Sarah!

Aren't you proud of our boy
going off on this big adventure?

How proud are you?

[Mankiwicz chuckles]

All right.

Let's get the headset.

Curtis: I'm on it, boss.

I have nothing here.

I have looked through
Mankiewicz's enemy list-

rival organizations,
rogue players-

people who moved in
after he went away.

No one operates
in that direction.


How about his friends then?

Where are you going with this?

The witness-

in the trial that
brought him down.

Rose Moore.

Yeah, the file says that she
was a low level money washer.

I mean, she shouldn't
have had access

to the inner workings
of Mankiewicz's operation.

You think someone else
gave her that information?

Someone who might profit
from Mankiewicz going away.


[ominous music]

[indistinct background chatter]

Can you hear me?

Sarah: Rex?

Can you hear me?

[Rex whines]

Yeah, okay.

Okay, keep going.

The big doors by the truck.

That's it, that's it,
that's great.

[Rex whines]

Mankiewicz:
Uh-oh, hold up.

We've got guards
at twelve o'clock.

[sensors trilling]

[sensors trilling]

[Rex whines]

Ah, look closely Rex!

You see them, don't you?

You see the lasers!

So that's how
you beat the lasers!


[Mankiewicz chuckles]

My boy was born to do this.

Curtis, make sure
you save this feed.

We're going to make
him internet famous!


[suspenseful music]

He's found the right area.

Now, the vent is halfway down.

Okay, keep-

walking.

Right, right ahead.

Just a little to the right.

Rex, right beside you.

[Rex grunts]

There-okay, there.

You have to go inside.

[Rex sniffs]

What's he doing?

I don't know.

I can't tell.

[Rex sniffs]

Get him in there.

No, he's going
as fast as he can.

Okay, Rex.

Rex, pull off the register.

You have to find a way in.

That's it, that's it.

[metal clanking]

Okay.

Okay, this is like last time.

Slow and steady.

This is just like
last time, Rex.


No no, not left.

No, back up.

The other way, the other way.

Okay, now straight.

[Sarah sighs]

Mankiewicz:
Fantastic job, my boy.

Just one more thing-

and we're there!

Mark: The different security
apparatuses Curtis knows-


they're like seven or eight?

Mm-hmm.

Jesse.

Has Rex got past
security systems?

Sure, yeah.

Cross reference the kind of
systems that Rex got past-

with any of those systems
that Curtis worked on.

I think that one
of those clients

might be Mankiewicz's target.

Mankiewicz: Okay,
all right, all right.


Get him closer to the office.

Turn him right at
the end of the hall-


and we're there.

[Rex groans]

[Rex grunts]

Take him closer to the office.

Please.

Please don't do this.

Jesse: Okay.

I've got six companies

where Curtis did contract
work on security systems

like the ones that Rex defeated.

Which of them are in the
southwest of the city?

We've got two.

Sullivan's Jewellers
and Sparks Fish Packers.

Why would a fish packing plant

have a high tech
security system?

That's a good question.

And Curtis's GPS timeline
in the last month

says he passed by that
operation three times.

That company is
owned by Bill Sparks.

But from what I've read,
Sparks is a solid citizen.

Everybody's got secrets.

And some more than others.

Should we scramble a unit?

Not fast enough.

They won't make it in time.

It's just us.

Come on.

We're on our way!

Mankiewicz: I said, take
him closer to the office!


I want to see Sparks!

I want to know he's there.

Please, please don't do this.

Please don't make Rex a k*ller.

I'll tell you what.

When he drops the package-

I will call in a fire
alarm on the plant side.

And at least let
the workers escape.


We can do it my way.

Or you and Rex die too.

Rex, go to the office.

Sparks: Yes, I know
they're waiting.


I told you the shipment is
coming in on the Northern Mist.

The b*mb's close enough
to do what I need to do now.

Sparks: They come in
on Tuesdays and Fridays.


And it's mixed in
with that catch.


I will have it by
the end of the day.

Now how about we
talk about payment?

Mankiewicz: Tell
him to drop it-


and get out.

Now!

Do it!

Rex no!

That's my boy!

Yes!


[suspenseful music]

Sarah: You didn't
have to do this.


You're a psychopath!

You're a psychopath!

You think we're
not going to find you?

Mankiewicz: Maybe-

someone will find me.

But it ain't going
to be you, darling.

And I lied to you.

I would never put a
b*mb in Rex's collar.

There's no way I would
hurt that magnificent beast.

Also-

I lied about the fire alarm.

I can't risk
Sparks getting away.

I'm going to go do the honours.


[tense music]

[metal scraping at cuffs]

[helicopter whirling]

Jesse: All seems quiet at
Sparks's Fish Packing plant.


I bet he's near.

If Mankiewicz is
planning a hit on Sparks-

he won't be far away.

He'll want to see it
with his own eyes.

And that white building

looks like it'd be
a good vantage point.


Modern cameras on the wall,
right beside the fish plant.


And it's good security for
a place that looks vacant.


[ominous music]

Look there.

There.

Northeast corner.

That's him.

Where's Sarah and Rex?

Well if I'm right-
and I hope I'm not-

Rex will be in Sparks's plant

doing whatever Mankiewicz
wanted him for.

Sarah will be inside
the white building.

Try and avoid the cameras.

I'll take Mankiewicz.

You go get her.

All right.


[dramatic music]

[metal scraping at cuffs]

[cuffs snapping]


[suspenseful music]

What's-

What's happening out there?

Step away, Curtis.

Step away.

On the floor, now.


[dramatic music]

[Curtis grunts]

[Curtis groans]

Well!

[cuffs rattling]

Looks like you had
it under control!


Not even close.

[sensors trilling]

[alarm sounds]

What the hell is going on?

[alarm blaring]

[indistinct clamouring]

Mankiewicz: You
picked up the b*mb!


I really didn't want
to do this, buddy.

Hey Rexy!

We're still friends,
right buddy?

Hey pal?
[Rex barks]

[Mankiewicz groans]

[cuffs rattle]

So you're the new guy.

I didn't think
you'd figure it out.

I think you underestimated
my partner too.

I'll remember you.

[Mankiewicz chuckles]

I'll send you a picture
for your cell-

of both of us.

Air Service Captain:
Both officers are safe!

And Mankiewicz is in custody!

[officers cheering]

All searching units
can stand down!


Officer: Copy that.

Coming home.

Mark: All right,
thank you.


You look-

pretty relaxed for
someone who spent the day

as a hostage to a
homicidal criminal.

Sarah: I'm actually
just trying not


to think about it too much.

[Sarah sighs]

I mean, he would have
k*lled all those people.

And not felt a thing.

[Rex whines]

I trusted you guys
would find us.

And of course, I had
Rex to support me.


Jesse: No better
backup in a pinch.


I'll tell you.

I just spoke to the prison.

They said they're upping
security on Mankiecwicz.

And hopefully that's
the last we'll see of him.

But I guess we should never
underestimate his ingenuity.

Or his insanity.

Speaking from recent experience,
I agree with that.

Yeah, plus, I mean,
added bonus, Sarah.

You overheard Bill Sparks

talking about a deal
over Rex's audio link.

So Coast Guard was able

to take down the Northern Mist

with a cargo full
of his contraband.

Mark: Okay!

I think we can all

drink to that.


[soft music]

Oh, and for you, sir.

[Rex sniffs]

[Rex whines]

Well okay, they were
fresher this morning.

He's just mad they
were out of maple glaze.


Well I can finish that
if Rex doesn't want it.


[Rex barks]

[Mark chuckles]

Jesse: I had
three donuts


for breakfast yesterday.

I don't care.

[Rex barks]

Mm-hmm.

Three donuts for breakfast.

[all laugh]
