Come on in,
and welcome to a favorite stop on the Saint John's Ghost Walk.
The Laford Murders.
So about 20 years ago,
three men were found murdered in cold blood
over the course of four days.
And each victim was found shot
and then marked with a red X painted on their backs.
The first body was found in here.
And we were never able to find out
why the killer chose this location
because the police were unable to apprehend him
before he took his own life.
Duane Laford's ghost has been seen in the rafters.
So be careful, the killer still haunts this place.
Uhh!
Stop! Wait! Everybody just take a step back!
This is not a part of the tour!
What? What do you mean it's not part of the tour?
Rex!
You are always ready to work a late shift, hey?
Yeah, he never stops. Us on the other hand,
- sometimes we need a little help. - Oh, yes.
You are a life saver.
Mmmm.
Victim's in his late 50s.
He was shot twice with a .38 calibre bullet.
There were no gunshots reported,
but he died less than four hours ago.
Hmm, do we have a name?
No, not yet. No wallet and no cell phone.
So no ID.
Sounds like it could be a robbery,
but this is a pretty strange place for it.
Well, here is where it gets interesting.
The Laford Murders.
I knew a fellow true crime fan would be familiar with the red X.
I'm more than familiar with it.
I was obsessed with this in high school.
I mean, I'm talking, like, cutting newspaper clippings out obsessed.
Anyway, what was it about that case that drew you in?
I think it was something about Duane Laford himself.
I mean, on one hand, you have this artist.
He was an activist. Worked with the community
and then, on the other hand...
Yeah, he was a cold-blooded murderer.
Yeah, it fascinated me how those two extremes
could just live in the same body.
What have you got, partner?
In there?
Oh, I see it.
It's a cufflink.
With initials.
O.D.
It stands for Oswald Development.
A staple in the local real estate scene for over 20 years.
Specializing in suburban development,
owned and founded by our latest victim.
Terrance Oswald.
His body found painted with a red X
just like the old Duane Laford murders.
- Jesse. - Okay,
so Duane Laford was a popular artist
and a prominent member of the Mi'kmaq nation.
Now back then, the press referred to him as,
if you'll forgive my use of the phrase, The Mad Mick-mack,
which is a derogatory term
based on an incorrect settler's pronunciation.
Duane was a very vocal Indigenous activist.
His civil disobedience and protests
made him a very familiar face around the station.
Now his three victims were high-rolling real estate developers
that worked for a company called the Evermax Group.
Evermax. They had a monopoly on real estate development
- back in the 90s. - And they were looking to expand.
So when the Newfoundland railway shut down in the 80s,
there was nearly a thousand acres of land
that was up for grabs on the outskirts of the city.
Now the land was once traditional hunting territory of the Mi'kmaq.
So Duane Laford petitioned the government
to have the land returned back to the Indigenous community,
but Evermax put in an offer that was too sweet
for the government to pass up. So now the land is...
Well, it's this.
Ugh. My eyes are bleeding.
So Duane killed the three execs in revenge.
It was one last act of protest before he shot himself in his shed.
Okay, so how does this all connect to our victim now?
The victim, Terrance, worked at Evermax back in the day.
In fact, it was his first job in real estate.
Now up until last night,
Terrance was the last remaining survivor of the rail land projects.
That's an interesting connection.
Jesse, look into Duane Laford
and tell me if he has any living relatives
- or friends. - Okay.
Can you also pull up the old case files?
I want to compare the original forensics to Terrance's murder.
- Got it. - Can you also see
if there's any disputes with Oswald Development?
Those are three very different requests, just so you know,
but I'm on it.
Anyone notified Terrance's family yet?
His only relative in town is his son, Andrew.
I don't think anyone's been able to get a hold of him.
I guess that means you drew short straw, Charlie.
Mmmm.
My dad was a hard man to get close to.
I thought I still had time to change that.
- When was the last time you saw him? - A month ago?
Our relationship had been rocky since I left the business.
- You worked for him? - For a while.
Dad wanted me to take over one day.
He was disappointed when I walked away.
Well, it looks like you put your skills to better use elsewhere.
Sustainable vegan meal kits.
I just started the business off,
but veganism is a booming market.
- Impressive. - Not to my dad.
He was old school.
Mm-hmm.
Excuse me for a moment.
Hey, Jesse. What have you got?
Oh, I got a lot. First, I was able to find some threats
against Oswald Development on social media.
And second,
city hall is in the middle of a major legal battle
over the sale of some land in Cedardale to Oswald Development.
And third, I was able to track down
the sole living relative of Duane.
Wow, that was a productive morning.
How'd you get all that so fast?
They're all the same person, Charlie.
- You're kidding. - No.
No, Kiera Laford.
- What's the relationship to Duane? - His daughter.
She works at the Eastern Door Indigenous Community Centre
- in Cedardale. - Oh, she's probably not too happy
about Oswald moving into the neighbourhood.
No, no. They were trying to build a townhouse development
right next door on some land
that the Indigenous community had been using unofficially for years.
Send me that address.
And, hey, Jesse,
whatever you're putting in your cereal,
- I want some. - Ah, you will never know.
Wh...?
Andrew.
Did your father ever mention
a townhouse development in Cedardale
next to an Indigenous community centre?
Yeah. The Centre was trying to buy some land out from under him.
My dad never gave up anything for anyone.
Okay. Well, thank you for your time.
Again, I'm very sorry for your loss.
Come on, pal.
Rex!
Can we take five?
Thank you.
Sorry about that. My, uh... my partner finds new ways
to surprise me every day.
And today I learned that Rex,
he fancies himself a bit of a singer.
Oh, that's okay.
He has a lovely singing voice.
Well...
If you're here for the fundraiser,
it's not until 7:30.
Actually, I'm here to see Kiera Laford.
- That's me. - Oh, well, I'm Detective Hudson.
You met my partner, Rex.
I just wanted to ask you a few questions.
Do you know a man named Terrance Oswald?
Only by name.
He's building a neighbourhood of townhomes in the area.
- Is that right? - Well, not if I have anything to say about it.
What is this about?
- Terrance was murdered last night. - What?
Oh, my God. That's awful.
He was found with a...
a red X painted on his back.
I don't know anything about that.
The murder last night mimicked your father's crimes.
Kiera...
I just want to see if you can help me connect it to the past.
I was 12.
What is it, Rex?
It's a beautiful mural.
My dad painted this.
It's a medicine wheel.
It symbolizes healing and balance.
He was very talented.
He's going to have to get down!
Rex, heel.
This red, it's very vibrant.
What shade is that exactly?
And, Kiera, earlier you said that you knew Terrance by name only.
We did find some colourful comments
that you posted on social media.
Am I being accused of something?
I just need the questions answered.
And I have the right to remain silent.
So if you don't have a warrant,
he can't be sniffing around like that.
I'm going to have to ask you to leave.
Okay.
I appreciate your time.
We'll be in touch. Rex.
At the Indigenous Community Centre, Rex picked up on a scent
in a mural that Duane painted.
I wonder if that paint that was on Terrance Oswald
is the same as the paint that was on Duane's victims back in the day.
It could be the mercury.
I ran some tests on the paint.
It's a pigment called cinnabar red
which hasn't been sold in the country since 2002
due to its high mercury content.
You don't really think that Kiera would still have cans
of her dad's paint kicking around from that long ago, do you?
Well, I mean,
if she did, would that be enough for a warrant?
You can buy vintage paint online.
Anyone could have bought some.
Okay, well, let's go with that.
Jesse, see if you can trace any recent purchases of that paint.
Okay, yeah, on it.
If Jesse doesn't find anything,
we can talk warrants, Charlie.
Rex and I are going to talk to the VP of Oswald Development.
- Keep me posted. - Will do. Good luck.
Yeah, I know, pal.
Excuse me! I'm Detective Hudson.
Are you Mia Bailey?
You must be here to talk about Terrance.
- Yeah, we did call ahead. - I know. I'm sorry.
There has just been so much to take care of
with Terrance gone so unexpectedly.
Listen, do you have any idea where Terrance was headed last night?
- No, I didn't see him at all yesterday. - Ah.
Did he keep a schedule?
We couldn't find a cell phone.
Terrance didn't even own a cell phone.
He was old school.
Yeah, his son Andrew did mention that.
Yes, and he would know better than anyone.
Terrance was pretty tough on Andrew
- when he was with the firm. - Ah.
Terrance sounds like he was a little difficult to work with.
Oh. Um...
He wasn't so bad, you just had to figure out your place
- in the hierarchy. - Where was yours?
Old school only takes a business so far.
My job was to fill in the gaps.
Ah.
That must've drove you crazy.
It kept me busy. I like to be busy.
What have you got, partner?
You mind popping your trunk?
Yeah, apparently you have been busy.
You know, I think we should finish this conversation
down at the station.
Hey.
Rex was on the right track.
The paint on the signs in Mia's trunk
match the sample from Terrance's back.
Looks like Rex remembered the scent
and tracked it to her vehicle.
What are the odds that that same rare paint ended up in her car?
Very slim. I scoured every online source for vintage paint
and found no trace of cinnabar red.
- Hmmm. - But I did find a piece of good news
that puts the real in real estate.
- Jesse. - Sorry.
Terrance and Mia were not on good terms
- before his death. - How bad are we talking?
She tried to petition with the board of directors
to have him ousted from the firm.
I can work with that.
- Lawyer not joining us? - That won't be necessary.
Oh.
Can you tell me where you were
between the hours of 6:00 and 10:00 p.m. last night?
I had reservations at Domenic's on Water at 8:30.
- I was there until 11:00. - Dining alone?
With a local competitor.
You know, keep your friends close,
- your enemies closer. - Ah, which one was Terrance?
Your board of directors said
that meetings between you and Terrance
could get pretty heated.
We had some healthy disagreements.
Pushing a man out of his own firm, that sounds unhealthy.
Terrance would funnel money into developments on a whim.
He may have built that company himself,
but he was on track to destroy it.
- Oh, he didn't listen to you? - No, he never valued my opinion!
I do all the heavy lifting.
I answer all the calls he doesn't want to take,
but he always needed to call the shots.
So you had to go higher up.
You went to the board of directors
and maybe, if you could somehow prove to them
that Terrance was bad for business, maybe they'd listen to you?
Terrance did not need my help building a bad rep.
We're an easy target for vandals
with our record of gentrifying.
So those signs that were in your trunk...
Terrance asked me to take those down!
No one wants to buy into a neighbourhood that seems hostile!
Okay. Let's say that I believe you.
Then you can tell me
where was the tagging the most frequent?
Uh... Westhaven.
The Juncture.
Cedardale especially.
Near the Indigenous Community Centre?
Yes. I'm overseeing that project.
Those signs need to be replaced almost daily.
Huh.
Excuse me.
Have either of you seen Kiera?
No?
What have you got?
Look at that. Cinnabar red.
Detective Hudson, I told you last time.
Next time you come around here...
I'd need a warrant.
I think you'll find everything's in order.
I'm going to need to take this paint.
Why would you want that?
Well, I have a feeling it's going to match some of the samples
in our investigation.
I'm going to need you to come down to the station
and make a statement.
I'm going to need to speak with my lawyer first.
Of course. Rex and I will be waiting here for you.
Come on, Rex, move!
I don't have time for this!
You're a persistent boy, aren't you?
- Yeah. - Kiera?
Going somewhere?
Just looking for a little privacy to make a phone call,
but apparently, your partner here didn't like that too much.
Yeah, he doesn't like it when people leave
without saying goodbye.
Why don't you give your lawyer a call?
Tell them to meet us down at the station.
Kiera, in my experience doing this job,
innocent people don't run.
Really?
Well, in my experience, innocence isn't something
that seems to matter much around here.
Well, I can assure you it matters to me.
Yeah, well, people like me
can quickly lose control of the narrative
when it comes you, cops.
Just look what happened to my dad over 20 years ago.
Okay, yeah, let's look at your dad.
Do you know that the paint
that we found in your studio
is the same type of paint that your father used
on his victims back in the 90s?
- That's a lie. - It also matches the paint
we found on Terrance Oswald,
found dead last night.
Not to mention the Oswald Development signs
- that you defaced. - That's pure conjecture.
Yeah, I said that's a lie.
This paint is virtually impossible to get your hands on.
Not to mention matched with a near 100% certainty.
I'm not talking about the paint!
I'm talking about my father!
He never murdered anyone.
Are you aware of the nickname they have for him?
You can't imagine how it feels
to see my father reduced to that.
He was a hero who always stood up for our rights!
You still didn't answer my questions about the paint.
So what if I vandalized those signs?
- Kiera. - Vandalism is not murder!
- I did not murder that man. - That's enough.
Unless you're charging my client,
we're done here.
We have her on a misdemeanour for vandalism at best.
Then we need to let her go.
Her father being a confirmed serial killer doesn't factor in?
Some studies have found that psychopathy could be hereditary,
but they're far from conclusive.
So we stick to the evidence. What do we know?
I looked into Mia Bailey's alibi.
I mean, she was dining downtown.
Just like she said.
Her record is squeaky clean.
She's worked for Oswald Development for the past 15 years.
And Kiera?
Well, minor run-ins with the SJPD in her teen years,
but nothing since then.
Except for the threatening comments
on Oswald Development's social media.
Yeah, yeah. Here.
"@OswaldDevelopment,
you're picking a fight you can't win!"
Try to steal our land and you'll find out.
What goes around, comes around! #karma
Well, something came around.
Now Terrance Oswald is dead.
Hey. Get out of my chair.
Arlo.
Thanks for meeting me, man.
Hey! Anything I can do to help, Joe.
- Have a seat. - So...
you've got a tough case on your hands, huh?
Yeah.
I thought that you had put the last nail in the Laford Murders
- back in, what, '98? - Yeah, we did!
Someone's just playing a Greatest Hits of the SJPD!
Hey, look, I know it's not easy.
The Laford Murders really shook up this precinct back then.
Actually, tell me, do you happen to have your old notes?
I have to check. You know, after I got transferred to Fraud,
I lost track of some of the old files,
but, you know, I'll look into it.
I appreciate it.
Also, what do you remember about Kiera Laford?
The Mad Mick-macks daughter, huh?
- Duane Laford's daughter, yes. - Yeah.
Yeah. I remember seeing her hanging around the station, you know.
Her mother would drag her along
when she had those sit-in protests.
Kiera...
she was quiet.
That's what I remember.
You think she had something to do with this?
I'm not sure yet.
Chin up.
Don't worry, you'll get them before the next stiff drops, huh?
- You're too good a cop. - Well...
Hey.
Ah, another coffee?
Yeah, I fell down the rabbit hole last night.
I started researching Indigenous land claims near St. John's,
- and before I knew it, it was 4:00 a.m. - Here's a wake-up call.
I managed to track down the restaurant
that Terrance was dining at before he died.
Excuse me. We tracked it.
- We. That's what I meant. - How did we figure this out?
We got the autopsy report.
There was a half digested steak
in his stomach with distinct marbling. Kobe beef.
That's an expensive cut.
Only a few places in town that would serve that.
Three, to be exact.
Turns out Terrance had a reservation at Sutherland's for 8:30.
And the maître d' said he made a very vocal call
- from their front desk landline. - Right.
No cell phone. He would have had to use the landline.
I shudder at the thought.
I got the audio from the security camera near the front desk.
I'm down on Water Street for dinner right now,
and I just happened to see you walking into Domenic's
with our main competitor!
I am not putting up with this, Mia!
I don't give second chances!
Turns out Terrance was dining with his lawyer.
And he confirmed that they were meeting
to discuss ousting Mia from the firm.
And that's motive.
Let's bring Mia in, partner.
Hi! You've reached Mia Bailey
at Oswald Development.
I'm not able to answer your call,
but please leave your name, number
and a brief message at the tone.
They've killed Mia Bailed.
History repeats itself.
Looks like we really do have a serial killer on our hands.
Anything that can tell us if it's the same person
that killed Terrance? I mean, aside from the big red X?
It's the same calibre bullet,
and the paint looks like cinnabar red again,
but we won't know until we test it.
Someone really is following in Duane's footsteps.
Two victims. We need to stay one step ahead of them.
I might have an idea, actually.
We found this lone file in the passenger seat.
This was the development that Kiera Laford was trying to stop.
Check the front page for the listing agents.
- Terrance and Mia. Both dead. - There's another name.
This is why I walked away.
I knew real estate was ruthless,
but this is ridiculous.
Why was your name on the townhouse project?
No, it's not anymore.
That was supposed to be my first big project
for my dad's company,
but it's turned into an ugly mess.
It's one of the reasons I left to start my own business.
What was so ugly about it?
Well, when Kiera found out about the project,
I agreed to sit down with her
and we could discuss removing one small parcel from our deal.
But she used that information to block our deal with the city
delaying the entire project.
That sounds expensive.
Yeah, totally threw off our projected fourth quarter profits.
To my dad that went beyond business. That was personal.
Do you remember anything about those conversations with Kiera?
She started off cordial, but she got aggressive fast.
Do I need to be worried here?
I think you'll be fine if you just stay in the house
and keep the doors locked
- until we figure out what's going on. - Oh, my God.
Is she coming after me next?
Hey, don't jump to any conclusions.
We don't know exactly who's behind this yet.
I hope it's not Kiera.
From what I've seen,
she does whatever it takes to get what she wants.
Please tell me you found something in Arlo's old case files.
I looked into the forensics on Duane's suicide,
and I can't find a shred of paperwork on it.
Yeah, and I can't find any record of any witness testimony
that puts Duane at the scene of the crime.
I couldn't even find a witness name
until I did find this listing
in the evidence lock-up.
Terrance Oswald?
So our first victim was their lead witness
back in '98?
Yeah, but you just talked to Arlo.
Would he not have said something about it?
Ahh, this is funny, Joe.
Back in the day, it used to be me calling you in here.
I'm sure you heard the news.
That your killer's two-for-two? Yeah.
Any luck finding those old notes, Arlo?
I'm sorry, Joe, but no luck.
Because there's only so much we can glean
from those old case files.
Well, I'm here, hmm?
What do you need to know?
Okay.
How the witness testimony place Duane at the scene?
Uh, you know, Duane was driving an old beater truck,
and we found a guy who placed it at the first crime scene.
Doesn't it concern you that your eyewitness is our first victim?
Uh...
It slipped my mind.
Hmm.
According to the evidence logs,
you accessed the case files
exactly one month after the case was solved.
Well, you know, you've got to cross your T's and dot your I's.
- You know that. - If you're so concerned with details,
why is the witness statement
and the forensic data on Duane's death missing?
Why are you suddenly all concerned
about this Mad Mick-mack?
- Stop using that name. - Come on, huh?
Enough with the PC crap.
It's just you and me talking here.
We no longer accept that kind of language in this unit.
Yeah.
We are going to keep digging, Arlo,
so just tell us what we're going to find.
My advice?
You stick to the present and you leave the past alone.
I was ultimately able to find
the bullet trajectory report from Duane's suicide in '98.
I compared it with the autopsy report
and I went over it again and again,
but something wasn't done right.
So, if it was a suicide,
the stipplings would be spread like this.
Because for the bullet's angle,
Duane had to be holding the gun here.
In the autopsy report
there are no stipplings on his body.
Which would mean that the gunshot that killed him
would have had to have been at least six feet away.
So you're saying Duane didn't die by suicide?
Is it possible that he is not the killer
but the fourth victim?
Which means the real killer could still be out there.
Jesse, any luck finding those missing documents?
I did find this. May I?
Thank you. Okay.
- Here we go. - Can you state your name
- for the record? - Terrance Oswald.
Mr. Oswald, can you take us through your experience
the night of October 22nd?
I left the bar around 9:30. Walked east.
I heard a truck backfire. I looked up,
I saw a brown pick-up
heading west in a hurry.
You sure about the time? You're sure it wasn't a little later?
Yeah, I meant 11:30. You know, I misspoke.
Okay, there's a big difference
between 9:30 and 11:30.
Jesse, go back to the moment
- where Rex barked. - Sure.
Rex can hear high pitched unusual sounds.
- There's definitely something there. - Okay.
You sure about the time?
Yeah, yeah, yeah, he's right.
There's a spike in the levels right here.
I looked up, I saw a brown pick-up
heading west in a hurry.
You sure about the time?
You're sure it wasn't a little...?
The tape was stopped for a second!
Arlo was guiding the witness.
Is this just shoddy police work?
Or is this a cover up?
We may never find out.
Arlo's been shot.
He might not make it.
He was found in his yard with a red X on his back.
- What's Arlo's status? - His vitals were holding steady
when he arrived at the hospital.
Paramedics say if they were there a few minutes later,
he'd be gone.
And as of now, Kiera's our best suspect
and patrol is bringing her in.
- I'd like to hear her alibi. - Yeah, about that...
The squad car just called in.
Kiera's gone missing.
Dr. Langmear, please call the pharmacy.
Dr. Langmear, call the pharmacy.
You're lucky to be alive.
Who says running the Fraud Department
doesn't have its risks, huh?
Did you see who shot you?
My back was turned.
Arlo, we've got a killer on the loose.
What are you keeping from us?
It's as clear as day.
Duane's suicide was an admission of guilt.
No. My team ran the ballistics.
Duane's wounds were not self-inflicted.
And why did you guide the witness statements?
Terrance mixed up some of the info he initially shared with us.
I just nudged him back on track.
Cops don't nudge.
To get a guy like Duane? Come on.
Hold on. What do that mean?
Oh, here we go.
No, what do you mean a guy like Duane?
Would you have treated him differently if he was white?
Ahhhhh, blaahhhh. Blahhh, blahhh.
Do you know how much pressure we were under to close that case?
And don't you forget
you were as excited as anyone when we found him dead. Huh?
When Duane was dead, the murders stopped.
Except they didn't.
Yeah, thanks, Joe. Keep us posted.
- Any news? - We're still in the dark.
Hey, pal.
Is that a microphone?
Shhhh.
Okay, yeah.
Joe said there's nothing more for us to do tonight,
so you might as well pack up.
Okay. Thank God. I'm beat.
Gimme!
Charlie!
I need to check in with Sarah. You want to watch Rex for me?
- Huh? - Yeah!
Um...
Rex, you just sit on your perch.
I'll bring you some water!
Yeah?
How's the water?
Yeah, it's okay.
It's okay, bud. I'll get you more.
SJPD!
SJPD! Hands up!
Kiera?
Hands up, now!
Ughhh!!
Easy.
Are you okay?
Here.
Ah!
It's Andrew!
Thanks for coming to the rescue, Detective.
Drop your weapon.
- Kick it over here, Detective. - Just...
Yeah.
You're early.
I guess I'm going to have to improvise.
You know, my friend told me
that psychopathy can be hereditary.
I guess she was right.
We were just looking at the wrong family.
Hey.
Your dad,
your father Terrance, he was the person responsible
for the so-called Laford Murders, huh?
Now that all makes sense!
Terrance killed my dad
and then made him take the fall for everything!
How long have you known about that, huh?
He told me when I was a boy.
He trusted me with his secret
because he expected me to build on his legacy.
But when the Cedardale project started bleeding money,
my dad pinned it on me.
But he knew from the beginning the community would fight it.
Of course we would.
You nearly cost me everything!
- Hey! - My dad was making plans
to kick me out of the inheritance.
What's rightfully mine.
I couldn't let you do that to me.
So with my dad out of the way,
you make an easy frame.
All I had to do was steal one of your paint cans.
The cops couldn't wait to believe you did it.
You'll be forever known as a cold-blooded killer.
Just like your father.
Sure, and I understand why you went after Mia.
She was next in line to take over the company,
but what about Arlo?
Why would you target him?
I knew if Arlo told you my father's statement was a fraud,
it would lead back to me eventually.
And I knew you were closing in,
because I planted a mic on your partner.
When I shot Arlo,
I knew it would look like Kiera was taking revenge
on a bad cop who smeared her daddy's name.
And it's your own fault for ruining my business deal.
Everything you have was built on stolen land
and my family's suffering!
My dad always used to say, "Take what's yours."
So I took it.
Oh.
I guess you thought about everything.
Uh. Almost everything.
Ughh!
Don't move!
Uhhh!
Thanks, partner.
Thank you, Officer.
The paramedics check you out?
Yeah.
That's good.
Kiera, I'm sorry.
I'm not ready to accept your apology.
I understand that.
I need to say it anyway.
I'm sorry I didn't believe you.
Or your father.
Words are cheap, Detective.
22 years ago,
my father was denied justice.
Were you about to make the same mistake?
You okay?
No, I've been better.
When Rex and I went over to Andrew's house,
I saw Andrew and Kiera struggling through the window
and I thought that she was the threat.
Well, she was in the wrong house.
You were just following the evidence.
No.
I made an assumption.
I can't help but wonder if I would have made a different decision
if she were white.
Every police officer has to worry about racial profiling, Charlie.
Even me.
Those biases are rooted deep in society.
That's why people of colour are arrested
and incarcerated at a much higher level.
I think I lost sight of that.
I can't make that mistake again.
Our mistakes give us an opportunity to grow.
The real question is whether you're willing to put in that work
to make things better.
That's the real challenge.
For all of us.
I think I have a good idea where to start.
We host a lot of our workshops over here.
And by the fire over here
we have elders every Friday to share stories.
I'm happy we were able to help you
meet your fundraising needs to save this space.
I can understand why you've been fighting so hard to save it.
Yeah, it's special, isn't it?
This is a meeting place between us
and everyone who was here before.
Like your father.
I saw the statement that you posted in the media,
and finally the world sees who my father really was.
Thank you.
I'm glad we got a chance to set the record straight.
And it doesn't make up for what we've put you through,
but that's why I'd like to do more if you'll let me.
More how?
Well, I want to learn more about the people that I'm paid to protect.
So if there's any volunteer work
that needs to be done here at the Centre,
Rex and I would love to help out.
Well, we have Indigenous cultural seminars once a month.
How about we start there?
- I'd like that. - You know what? Count me in too.
All right.
Well, come on. Let me show you some of our hiking trails.
Hey, Rex!
Want to go for a hike?
Hey!
- Rex loves hikes. - Oh, sure.
Yeah, you had him at hike.
Yeah.
What do you say?
Next time on Hudson & Rex...
Who's best in show?
- Glockenspiel. That's who. - What have we got?
Dog owner competing for a spot in the upcoming nationals.
- His name is Francis Norton. - Francis was wealthy.
His entire three million dollar estate
is going to Glockenspiel.
- The dog? - Rex, take note.
Do you know of anyone that had issues with Francis?
- No! - The dog show circuit were his family.
- You and Francis were close? - I had nothing to do with this.
- Then why did you run? - I was scared.
- Of getting caught? - Of being murdered!
Who would have a reason to put a hit out on you?
Anton, get off the course!
