Morning, Truong.
What do we have?
Lori Myers.
Thirty-one years old.
Hygienist at the dental office here.
Two gunshot wounds to the chest.
Stating the obvious there?
Estimated time of death is between 6:00 PM and midnight.
And also it looks like somebody stepped in the blood here.
I did notice that the shoe print doesn't match the victim's.

I'd like to go home.
Oh you're not going home anytime soon.
Stand up please.

I'm innocent!

At this time I am placing you under arrest.
The charge-
is first degree murder.

You're placing me under arrest, right?
You attacked Dr. Truong and threatened to kill her.
I'm sorry.
I need you to listen to me.
I would have listened
before the knife.
Now you're going to jail.
Please, can we just talk?
Detective Hudson.
You're my last hope to prove I'm innocent.
You pled guilty to the manslaughter of Lori Myers-
six years ago.
I had to take the plea.
My lawyer, she said it was the difference
between a five- year sentence
and twenty-five years.
She wouldn't have suggested that-
if they didn't have evidence against you.
I know, but-
And the first thing you do after you get out of prison-
is you come to the police station with a knife.
I heard you on Sound Judgment.
The podcast.
I thought if anyone could help me-
it would be you.
You already served your time.
Why would you get yourself arrested-
right after you get released?
Because they're going to deport me.
I'm not a Canadian citizen.
And with my criminal record, I can't stay here.
I'm supposed to report to Immigration Enforcement-
within twenty-four hours.
Then they put me in detention-
until they can get me on a flight to Honduras.
I'll be sure to let Immigration know where to find you.
Gabriel: No, please!
Detective Hudson.
I needed to get arrested-
so that you would have a reason to hold me.
If you press charges-
they can't take me right away.
Any conditions or medications that I should be aware of?
I need my testosterone patch.
One a night.
You took them out of my pocket.
Okay.

Let's go.
[cuffs clinking]
Come on.
[metal door clangs]
In a few years-
you can apply for a record suspension.
Maybe they'll let you back in.
No!
You don't understand.
I won't survive that long.
Honduras isn't safe for trans people.
Plus I was an activist before I came here.
I spoke out against the government.
If I go back, I can't live as myself.
And there's a good chance I won't live at all.
[Charlie sighs]
It's in Immigration's hands now.
Nothing I can do.
[Gabriel sighs]
[door buzzer sounds]
[door opening]
Rex.
[Rex whines]
[Gabriel sighs]
He wanted to be arrested.
Why?
He was trying to buy time before he was deported.
That's a stupid stunt.
Are you okay?
Yeah I'm all right.
What do you mean-
buy time before he's deported?
He wants us to re- investigate his case.
Well should we?
He was waving a knife around the station.
If we re-open the case-
what kind of message are we sending?
Yeah I agree.
No, I know he went about it the wrong way.
He threatened you.
Yeah I don't think he would have hurt me, really.
You didn't know that.
I didn't know that.
Look, I'm all right, Charlie.
I'm not defending what he did.
I just think he's clearly desperate.
Well he's obviously desperate.
I mean, if he thinks he can overturn a murder conviction
and deportation order.
I worked the case okay?
Lori Myers-
a dental hygienist-
was shot outside of her office.
Gabriel- Dr. Garcia-
he was a new dentist at her clinic.
Fresh out of school.
And I remember being surprised that he pled guilty.
But I didn't know enough-
about the overall case.
I wasn't as involved in investigations back then.
There was forensic evidence against him.
Yes, we did find blood on the shoes he was wearing that night.
But-
Donovan: Not only that.
An eye-witness saw Garcia leaving the scene.
Garcia also had motive.
He had a long-standing grudge against the victim.
Garcia owned a gun, Sarah-
the exact same calibre
as the murder weapon
which was never recovered.
I signed off on the warrant.
Okay but the blood on his shoe didn't make sense.
What was the problem?
Sarah: Well-
the killer didn't just track blood away from the body.
He also left a partial footprint in the blood pool.
He didn't step in fresh blood.
It would have taken at least ten minutes
after Lori Myers was shot
for the blood to pool and start to congeal-
so that that footprint could leave an impression.
Charlie: Wait, so-
Garcia stuck around after he shot Lori at the crime scene?
It doesn't make sense.
They were in a public place.
Why?
Why stick around?
Maybe he left something there and had to go back for it.
Garcia's lawyer was Paula Stone.
[Charlie sighs]
She does have a reputation-
of forcing her clients into taking plea deals.
Yeah but that doesn't mean
that she would force an innocent man to plead guilty.
If you want to re-open, you need to bring me more.
That's it.

Yeah, sure, we can play, buddy.
All right.
All right pal.
Pay attention now.

You don't want him to be deported either.
Well it's not about what we want.
Anyway.
We'll follow the evidence.
Yeah, as we always do.
See where it lands.
Okay, which one?
[Rex sniffs]
[Rex groans]
Good job.
But you're following your intuition.
That's another kind of evidence.
I also don't want you to get in trouble with a fellow cop.
Ah, we can handle Porter.
Can't we pal?
[Rex barks]
Okay which one?
That was quick.
[Rex sniffing]
Right again!
Good thing we're not playing for money.
I take it you don't-
you don't trust Porter's work?
I wouldn't say that.
I just-
I mean-
he's never been my favourite detective to work with.
[Charlie chuckles]
Yeah he's with Fraud and Financial Crimes now.
I wonder why he transferred.
I don't know.
I mean I never asked.
I was just glad that he was gone.
What got him in your bad books?
Uh- he just always talked down to me.
Ah!
You never gave him hell?
No.
No, not back then.
A lot has changed.
I swear sometimes he's cheating.
[Rex grunts]
How does he always get this right?
Charlie, you know dogs see colour, right?
Ahhh.

[Sarah chuckles]
Why didn't you tell me?
[Sarah laughs]
[seagulls crying]
Porter: Six years in prison-
and Garcia's still singing the same tune, huh?
Yeah, I take it you never believed him?
Of course not.
I know he shot that woman.
I have no doubt in my mind.
But then again-
you're here talking to me.
So either you like second- guessing other cops' work-
or Garcia sold you his sob story.
No, neither.
Just there's the question
about the footprint in the blood.
I figured you'd have an answer for that.
Yeah, blood placed him at the scene.
Ten minutes after the shooting, according to forensics.
Yeah that's right.
Dr. Truong worked that case.
Uh-huh.
Hey I heard you and she are a thing.
Congrats.
Why do you think Gabriel stuck around so long-
after shooting Myers?
[Porter clears throat]
Admire his handiwork?
Make sure she was dead?
I mean whatever the reason, he wasn't confiding in me.
How did he explain the blood on his shoes?
He couldn't.
He told me he went to go meet Lori Myers there-
and he didn't see her.
He'd practically have to be-
standing on top of her
to get the blood on his shoes.
Does that sound credible to you?
Hudson.
The charges were good.
So you won't mind if I take a look at the file, then?
[Porter scoffs]
You want to waste your time?
Knock yourself out.
Thanks.
Come on pal.

We were not properly introduced last night.

Six years later-

You're going to investigate?
I'm going to take a look at the file.
That's great!
Detective Porter-
Superintendent-
Donovan-
the crown prosecutor
and your attorney
think that this case is solid.
[Gabriel sighs]
I know.
Why do you think I can exonerate you?
The witness who ID'd me, Marco Ryan-
an architect who had an office in the building-
he said I was wearing a red jacket.
And normally I do.
But I left it in the office that night.
And he said I was running away.
But I wasn't.
I didn't have any reason to run.
But if Marco did see someone-
maybe he saw the real killer.
And maybe you can find them.
This doesn't mean that I believe you.
But I am going to look into it.

Mr. Ryan.
I know you wouldn't want Ms. Myers' killer to go free.
Would you?
So I need you to think about this really hard.
Did you recognize the man running from the scene?
Porter coached the witness.
It was a bad idea.
If he was willing to do that-
what other corners did he cut?
You have to explain the gun.
The blood.
Joe what if an innocent man has been in prison for six years-
and a murderer is still out there?

and the receptionist at her clinic.
Yes.
And Gabriel and I were seeing each other.
Um- what brings you here?
Uh-
I got an email from Gabriel-
yesterday morning.
We haven't been in touch for years.
Did he come here?
Yeah, he did.
Is it true?
Is he being deported?
I'm afraid it's standard after a conviction.
Uh-
But he did ask you for help right?
Will you help him?

I don't want to get your hopes up, Natalie.
This kind of case is extremely difficult to overturn.
And with the deportation order-
He'd asked me my ring size, you know?
Um-
The week before Lori was killed.
I'm telling you that so that you understand-
Gabriel- he built a whole life out here.
He worked so hard for it.
I do understand.
I feel like this is all my fault.
I was the one who told the detective about Gabriel's gun.
I thought that if they found it, they could rule him out.
But then they didn't find the gun.
I remember.
It was like I'd turned him in myself.
I spent so many hours out here waiting-
while he was being questioned.
My mother didn't understand how I could stand by him.
The whole thing was a nightmare.
But I remember-
you were very kind to me.
Please help him.
I can't-
make any promises.
Lori Myers, 31.
A hygienist at Meadowview Dental.
So six years ago-
on the evening of July first-
she was shot dead outside of her office.
Dr. Gabriel Garcia-
came to Canada from Honduras for dental school.
After he graduated-
he was hired by the owner
of Meadowview-
Dr. Serena Moore.
Come on pal.
[Porter clears throat]
Porter: Hudson.
I figured you weren't going to let this lie.
I'm not trying to catch you out here Porter.
Sure.
Well, let me walk you through the scene yeah?
So, the night of the murder-
Lori Myers texted and called Dr. Garcia-
repeatedly-
asking him to meet.
Jesse: I need you to meet me.
It's urgent.
I'll wait for you outside the office.
Then later she writes again.
I'm at the bench.
Gabriel told Detective Porter-
he arrived to meet Lori at around 9:00 PM.
The body was found-
here.
Garcia tells me he didn't see her.
So he went back home.
But he must have been lying-
because there was blood on his shoes.
I mean, there was no way no way he was standing right here-
and didn't see her.
It would have been dark out.
Yeah but there's a street lamp.
You don't think I check basic facts?
[Charlie chuckles]
Okay.
So at 9:05, the building alarm goes off.
Our architect friend comes out to see what's going on.
Sees Garcia-
Or somebody in a red jacket.
sees Garcia running from the scene.
Okay, can you tell me about Garcia's motive?
Natalie Moore, Dr. Moore's daughter and receptionist-
was dating Gabriel.
Some weeks before the murder-
Natalie-
had a dental emergency.
And Gabriel-
treated her.
Wait- he treated his girlfriend?
Yeah, and Lori Myers reported him to the dental board-
for having a relationship with a patient.
Isn't that kind of a grey area?
Yeah, but-
if the board decided
to revoke Dr. Garcia's license-
he would have been out of work-
and carrying almost a hundred thousand dollars-
in student loan debt.
Hmm.
Well if the complaint had already been made-
to the dental board-
then killing Lori wouldn't have made a difference.
A couple of days before the murder-
the dental board found him in favour.
Right?
Mmm.
And he told me that Lori had apologized to him.
But nobody could corroborate that, so-
That's-
Dr. Serena Moore.
She owns Meadowview Clinic.
Dr. Moore: Detective Porter, I got your text.
What's this about?
Dr. Moore, I wanted you to meet Detective Hudson.
He's looking into the Lori Myers case.
Why would you want to do that?
Garcia asked him to.
I'm actually just reviewing the case at this point.
We can't have this rehashed.
It was a terrible time for all of us.
My daughter Natalie, she-
it took her years to recover-
both from Lori's death-
and from the heartbreak of realizing
that the man she loved was responsible.
I understand.
I loved Gabriel like a son.
I brought him into my business.
Of course I wish things could be different.
Mm-hmm.
Do you think there's a reason-
to open the case again?
Too early to say.
Then please-
don't come around here-
unless you're absolutely certain that you can help Gabriel.
Otherwise, you're just-
re-opening old wounds.
Well.
I couldn't have said it better myself.

Thanks for the tour, Detective.

Rex.
Come on pal.
I can't find the victim's phone.
It wasn't in her purse.
They never found it.
All the text transcripts came from Gabriel Garcia's phone.
That's too bad.
So Dr. Moore practically ran us off the property.
Unhappy with the investigation?
Protecting her daughter.
Sarah: So it sounds like Natalie and her mom
don't agree on Gabriel's case.
She came in today begging me to look into it.
Interesting that she wouldn't tell her mother.
Maybe they're protecting each other.

Does that mean that no one ever checked-
what was on it?
I'll get my laptop.
Good find, pal.
Nine millimeter slugs.
What do we know about the murder weapon?
It was never found.
It was Natalie who told Detective Porter-
Garcia owned a gun-
a family piece his father had given him.
A World War Two- era Browning.
So he lied to Porter about having a gun?
No he claimed that he didn't even think of it.
The gun was an antique.
And he said he wasn't sure it even fired anymore.
He kept it in a lockbox in his closet.
But when police searched his house-
It wasn't there?
And they never found the murder weapon.
There was a cement mixer near the crime scene?
Yeah, they were waiting to pour something-
while we were processing the scene.

It's a World War Two- era Browning.
Like the one Gabriel Garcia owned.
And ballistics match the bullets that killed Lori Myers.
The case against Gabriel is actually getting worse-
than when he came in here.
Other people could have had access.
Now, there were no fingerprints.
They would have been destroyed by the concrete.
But you know-
if we can link the gun to someone else-
we could get a retrial.
You're really pulling for this kid, aren't you?
I'm just following the evidence.
Yeah.
We're going to need to in order to help him.
I never fired the gun.
I swear.
My dad's abuelo left it to me.
He was a pilot in the war.
I didn't even know if it still worked.
Who did know that you had it?
No one.
Except Natalie.
Sure.
Except Natalie.
If you didn't use it-
and no one else knew that you had it-
[Gabriel scoffs]
No.
Natalie didn't do it-
for all the reasons.
Natalie and Lori were friends.
Lori used to counsel Natalie
when she was having problems with her mom.
Still, she-
must have been upset with Lori-
when she reported you to the dental board.
She was, but-
No.
I know Natalie better than anyone.
At least I used to.
She couldn't watch violence in movies.
She practically cried the time I broke a toe-
just from seeing me in pain.
That's how empathetic she is.
She could never kill anyone.

I know the concrete would have destroyed the fingerprints-
on the outside of the gun.
But what about the inside?
The bullets and the magazine?
Yeah.
I'll check.
Okay.
If you find anything-
can you run it against Natalie Moore's fingerprints?
She knew where to find the gun.
Okay.
Thanks.
Jesse: Charlie.
Yeah.
Lori Myers was a busy woman.
Her USB was packed.
With what?
Oh videos and files-
I mean, keeping track of everything-
from noisy neighbours, bad parking jobs to littering-
to even cheating spouses.
Seemed that she had a hobby-
in keeping track of everyone's bad behaviour.
These files make her look like anywhere from-
an amateur detective to a total vigilante Karen.
So maybe Gabriel wasn't the only person that she reported on.
Exactly.
She did have a file on her boss, Serena Moore.
But it seemed to just be a summary-
of her life in British Columbia-
before she came to Newfoundland with her daughter.
Anything murder-worthy?
No but you know what?
I did manage to ID one of the cheaters-
Mm-hmm?
Lori photographed in a very friendly situation
with a woman who was not his wife.
Who?
You're gonna like this.
The architect with the office upstairs.
Marco Ryan.
The eyewitness that identified Gabriel.
Yeah.
Good job.
Did she tell you that she knew-
that you were cheating on your wife?
What?
No.
Well she had taken this photo.
And then-
later, she told your wife about the affair.
I always thought that was my cousin.
Yeah.
Or you had a reason to hurt Lori Myers.
And you lied to the police-
about seeing Gabriel Garcia at the scene.
No no no.
What were you doing at the office, the night of the murder?
I was working late.
The alarm went off.
I went out to see what set it off.
And when you got out there?
I saw-
him.
Garcia.
The young-
dentist.
Uh-huh.
So- you're sure that you saw him?
Yeah.
But that's not what you told the police-
when you gave your statement.
Well I wasn't sure at first.
And then I was.
Now I-
So much gets lost in the mists of time, Detective.
Sarah.
Hey, what do you make of this?
Dental X-ray.
Why?
Well it was in Lori's files.
It was the last thing she saw-
the day before she died.
Who does it belong to?
I don't know.
The patient's name is cropped out.
Huh- there's a-
a pin in the jaw.
Maybe that could help identify the patient.
Mm-hmm.
Oh, hello there.
I've got a partial print-
on the magazine
Is it a match to Gabriel Garcia?
I don't know.
Let's find out.
[knocking on glass]
What's on your mind, Detective?
Well, I heard the dog found the murder weapon.
That's right.
So I guess you're all right-
with Hudson taking a machete to my case.
I mean-
how does that make me look?
Recovering that weapon could well serve
to reinforce your findings in the Myers case.
Right.
But he's still re- interviewing my witnesses.
[Porter scoffs]
If you're confident in your case-
you've got nothing to worry about.
I'm not worried.
It's the principle of the thing.
Professional respect.
And I thought I had yours.
Nothing's changed on that front.
Immigration sent out an alert looking for Garcia.
You let them know he's in our holding cells?
Because he should be halfway to South America by now.
Honduras is in North America.
And your protest has been duly noted.
[Donovan sighs]
Okay.
[Donovan sighs]
You think my fingerprints can help you?
For elimination purposes.
But you're under no obligation to provide them.
I don't mind.
Anything to help Gabe.
And Gabriel said that no one else knew-
where he kept the pistol.
Do you know if that's true?
Um-
I told Lori about it once.
She didn't approve.
But I told her Gabe would be scared to even load the thing-
let alone use it to hurt someone.
And you told Detective Porter where he kept it.
That was-
I have an alibi.
[Sarah sighs]
So Natalie's alibi was solid.
I mean, after she left work that night-
she met a group of girlfriends for a birthday party.
Is this from Porter's notes?
Yeah yeah.
I re-interviewed all the friends.
And they remember that party specifically-
because the birthday girl announced
that she was pregnant that night.
And that baby is now in kindergarten.
And they all remembered how late she stayed?
Yeah yeah.
Some of them still have a couple of photos.
So I checked the metadata.
And Natalie left just after 10:00 PM.
Okay.
Sarah: Hey.
Natalie's print aren't a match-
for the prints found on the magazine.
And she said she told Lori about the gun.
So Lori could have told anyone.
Except Lori's not here to tell us if she did.
Or who.

It might have belonged to a patient in the clinic.
That's why Lori had access to it.
I still haven't figured out who it belongs to.
I think I know someone who might be able to help us.

Charlie: We've bought ourselves some time.
Do you think it'll be enough?
[Rex moans]
[Rex groans]
There is one lie-
I told during the investigation.
I promise, it's the only one.
What was it?
I did see Lori's body.
[Gabriel cries]
By the park bench.
My whole life, my parents drilled into me-
follow the rules.
Don't draw attention.
They knew as long as we didn't have citizenship-
we could be deported.
So I-
I walked away!
And then-
it seemed like there was never a right time-
to tell the truth.
Did you check on her?
Of course!
But I was too late!
She was already dead.
Why did she want to talk to me that night?
What could have been so important?
It's not over yet.
And you may be able to help us.
I want you to take a look at this X-ray.
Can you tell me who it belongs to?
The gap between four and five.
The crown on tooth 21.
I did it myself.
This belongs to Natalie.

What was Lori doing with Natalie Moore's X-ray?
The only unusual thing I can see-
is the pin in the jaw.
It must have been used to repair a fracture.
But the bone is completely healed.
From an injury from when she was young?
Jesse: That reminds me.
I was looking through Lori's emails.
And the same day that she sent herself the X-ray-
she also sent a request.
And I figured it was just a work thing.
But she had asked for childhood medical records
from a hospital in British Columbia-
for Natalie Moore.
Did she get them?
Yeah, the hospital confirmed that they sent a fax
over to Meadowview Dental at 7:30 PM the night Lori died.
We need to see those records.
Jesse, can you check in with that hospital?
Yeah, I'm on it.
[Rex barks]
♪ [intriguing music]
Jesse: Hey.
Did you get the records that the hospital sent over?
Yeah I'm just looking at them.
I must have been reading them wrong.
It said that Natalie Moore had an osteogenesis imperfecta?
Yeah, this child was very sick.
She spent half her time in the hospital.
Her bone density was extremely low.
There's evidence of
dozens of fractures.
She had a very severe case.
Yeah but there's no mention of a facial fracture-
or a pin in her jaw.
Yeah that's because these hospital records
don't match Natalie's current X-ray.
Cases of severe
osteogenesis imperfecta
usually result in death before the age of ten.
So who is Natalie Moore?
This is who we know as Natalie Moore.
But you're saying she couldn't be the same child-
described in the hospital records?
Because that child died years ago.
Most likely of natural causes.
Which Lori could have discovered-
when she got the medical records from British Columbia.
Donovan: And you're saying she was killed-
the same night the hospital sent the records.
Right.
Remember she wanted to talk to Gabriel that night.
You think she was going to tell Gabriel-
that Natalie isn't the real Natalie?
Sarah: Well Gabriel and Natalie were dating.
And Lori had also jeopardized her relationship
with both of them-
when she had reported Gabriel to the board.
Sarah: Maybe Lori wanted Gabriel's advice-
before she brought new-
you know, potentially hurtful information to Natalie.
Donovan: But if someone was willing
to kill over this-
they had something more to hide-
than a death of a child by natural causes.
It depends how that child was replaced.
You're talking about a kidnapping.
[Rex whines]
Charlie: Serena Moore and her daughter
moved to St. John's in 1996.
Jesse: Okay so we are
looking for a missing child-
in British Columbia before then.
Aged one to two.
[computer beeping]
[keyboard clacking]
Charlie: There.
What's that?
[computer beeping]
Sarah: A two-year-old girl, Fiona Jarvis.
Last seen at a hospital-
where she was being treated for a broken jaw.
I wonder if they put a pin in it when they reset it.
Jesse: Reported missing by her parents-
Charles and Jessalyn Jarvis, who said they left Fiona
in the care of a nurse while they went to the cafeteria.
Yeah that was big news at the time.
I remember the parents were suspected of harming Fiona-
and claiming-
that she was kidnapped to cover it up.
Do you think that's how Lori knew about it?
Maybe she saw the pin in Natalie's X-ray
and connected it to the Fiona Jarvis case?
Well if that's true, then-
Natalie Moore is Fiona Jarvis.
Lori Myers knew it.
And Dr. Moore has a big secret to hide.

Dr. Truong and Detective Hudson.
How can I help you?
Is your mother here, Natalie?
Detective.
What's going on?
What's wrong?
Is it Gabriel?
Did they take him?
No, he's fine.
I'd just like to have a word with your mother.
Natalie, darling.
Just go and wait in the back for me okay?
No, I want to know what's going on.
We're reviewing the case.
And I have a few questions about your mother's alibi
the night that Lori was murdered.
As I told Detective Porter, I was getting a massage.
No we haven't been able to locate the massage therapist-
that you named in your original interview.
Well that doesn't mean that she doesn't exist.
She moved away.
That's all.
Natalie?
You didn't go to your massage that night.
Of course I did.
No.
Yes.
No, they called to say
they were sending a bill for a late cancellation.
That was six years ago, darling.
There's no way that you could possibly remember that.
I do remember.
Because I was at the station waiting for Gabriel-
when they called.
I'll check the files!
Charlie: Dr. Moore.
Let go of Natalie.
Excuse me.
Natalie: Why would you lie-
Natalie and I-
to Detective Porter?
Natalie and I need a moment alone.
All right.
[Rex barks]
[Dr. Moore gasps]
Did you have access to Gabriel's gun?
Natalie: You had a key-
to Gabriel's apartment.
I gave it to you myself.
Natalie.
You did it.
Why?
Natalie.
Do you want to tell her yourself?
Sarah: We know what you did in BC.
We found the hospital records, Dr. Moore.
She is my daughter.
In every way that matters.
I don't understand.
What does that mean?
My daughter was very sick.
We were in the hospital all the time.
That's when I saw you.
Because her parents were abusive.
That's why she was in the hospital.
You convinced yourself the kidnapping was justified.
They had a healthy little girl.
And they weren't taking care of her.
You took me from my parents?
You lied to me my whole life?
Natalie.
Easy.
[Dr. Moore exhales]
[cuffs racheting]
How did you find out-
that Lori was on to you?
I saw the fax from the hospital.
I tried to destroy it.
But I knew she wasn't going to keep it from herself.
Mm-hmm.
Come on.
Dr. Moore: Natalie.
Natalie!
[Natalie cries]
Natalie: Oh my God.
So.
What's the golden boy told you this time?
That he has Lori Myers's killer in custody-
following a confession.
Who?
Dr. Moore.
But it was Garcia's gun.
Dr. Moore had access to it.
Along with the red coat.
She framed him.
[Porter scoffs]
Well you've got to admit, nobody saw that coming.
Right?
Which is why I'm going to be looking into this case-
to see if someone should have seen it coming.
In the meantime-
we have to deal with the fact that an innocent man
went to prison for six years.
Look.
I stand by my work.
Good, because after this one-
I'm going to look into
all of your Major Crimes cases-
to see if this is part of a larger pattern.
And if it is-
I expect you to put in for retirement.
[Porter sighs]
[door buzzer sounds]
Come on pal.
I'm not a bad person.
It was for Natalie.
You said I was like a son.
And then you let me go to jail?
Six years of my life!
Come on.
Gabriel I'm very sorry-
that my department let this happen.
There's nothing I can do to make up for it.
You listened to me-
when no one else would.
You saved my life.
[Gabriel chuckles]
Both of you.

Tell Natalie to forgive me-
