Hudson & Rex

You've got this, Shauna.

Ohhh!

That axel gets her every time.

Maybe Shauna should take it out of her program?

I'm her coach.

I know what her limitations are.

Yeah. Don't forget, Diane. You're my coach too.

Merrick.

Now is not the time.

How was that?

Your timing was much better.

How's your knee holding up?

It's fine. I just extended it too far on the axel.

Did my mom see?

I don't think so. She's with your sister.

Thank God.

Don't tell her that I fell again. Okay?

I won't.

Shauna.

What do you say we put some ice on that leg

so it doesn't tighten up on you.

It looks great on you.

I don't understand what the problem is.

I told you I don't feel comfortable.

- Everything okay? - No, it's not okay.

Julia's being difficult.

I can't move in this thing.

How am I supposed to skate properly

if I can barely breathe in this?

Can you talk some sense into her, please?

If you're not feeling up for it tonight,

you can take a break, okay?

It's not the end of the world.

Thank you.

What the hell was that? We're two weeks before Nationals.

And you're giving her the night off?

You are driving her too hard.

My daughter,

is an Olympic gold contender.

She can handle it.

If you really care about her,

stop being so soft on her.

Okay.

How does that feel? Too tight?

It's fine.

Oh, nice of you guys to finally show up.

What happened?

- Alarm not go off? - Please.

This has got to be the first time you're here before us.

Where's Coach Diane?

I've not seen her since practice the other night.

Her car's in the lot.

Well then, she should be here somewhere.

- Oh God. - Hey, what's wrong?

Is that Diane?

You should keep your dog on the carpet.

It's slipperier than it looks.

Show off.

- Hey Sarah. - Hey.

- What have we got here? - Diane Bourke.

Figure skating coach, 33 years of age.

Time of death?

I can't get an accurate read.

Her core body temperature is extremely low

from being left on the ice.

The rink was closed all day yesterday, so...

It could be as long as 36 hours.

Hmmm.

Stabbed with an ice-pick.

Not a very common weapon of choice for premeditated murder.

Yeah, right. It's usually more associated with a crime of passion.

Do you know who called it in?

Julia Weyland.

She was with her sister Shauna, and another skater,

when they came across the body.

Is that their mom that's with them?

Yeah. Brandy Weyland.

You don't recognize her?

Should I?

She was one of the top skaters in Canada,

back when she was Brandy Palermo.

She could have been an Olympic contender

if a knee injury hadn't derailed her career.

Well, you seem to know a lot about her.

Yeah, well, I may have

skated on the junior circuit when I was younger.

How am I just learning about this now?

To be continued.

I've got to get these girls home.

Oh, no no.

Oh! Control your dog please!

- Are you okay? - He won't hurt you.

He's a police dog. He's friendly.

She's afraid of big dogs.

Really? Well, say hi, Rex.

See? He's safe.

I'm Detective Charlie Hudson.

I understand you two discovered the body?

She was our skating couch.

Do you have any idea who might be

responsible for this?

Everyone loved Coach Diane.

When was the last time

either of you saw her alive?

The night before last.

The three of us left the rink together.

No, Julia and I left first.

You went back inside because I forgot my B-12 shake. Remember?

Yeah, she has pernicious anaemia.

Uhh.

If she doesn't get enough B-12,

then she could get nerve damage.

Is there anything else that you need from us?

Because I need to get these girls home.

No, that's fine for now.

Fine. Come on, girls. Let's go.

Sorry, buddy.

Not everyone knows you like I do.

Charlie.

I know who the ice pick belongs to.

You processed the prints already?

No need.

Who's Winston Healey?

I'm not surprised a body turned up.

This place is full of crazy.

Define crazy.

They'll stop at nothing to get ahead.

I've seen slashed dresses,

nail varnish on skate blades.

It's like a reality TV show.

You want to explain to me how your ice pick

ended up in a coach's chest?

People are always helping themselves to my tools.

That's why I put my name on all my gear.

I'm going to need to know your whereabouts

for the last 48 hours.

I was here Sunday night,

long enough to resurface the ice after practice.

I left around 11:30.

Didn't get back until this morning.

You didn't notice the body on the ice

when you came in this morning?

I came in late. I had to get supplies for the snack bar.

You run the Zamboni and the snack bar?

And clear the snow, and clean the toilets.

Skating is a glamourous life.

Any idea who would have wanted Diane dead?

Diane was always sweet to me.

I've only ever seen her get angry one time.

And that was just a few nights ago.

She was having it out with one of her skaters.

You know the name of this skater?

Yeah. Merrick Slade.

Background check turned up some interesting stuff.

It seems like Merrick Slade is quite the wunderkind.

He got himself a Junior Nationals gold medal

when he was 13.

And a few years later, got himself a DUI charge.

Here. Check it out.

17. He was a minor.

Yeah, he's lucky. He had someone looking out for him.

It seems that Coach Diane

helped save his image-by getting out in front of it.

- How so? - Well, she sent him

on an apology tour.

TV, radio, online interviews, campus talks.

It worked like a charm. And he got a second chance.

Probably saved his career.

Doesn't exactly sound like a motive for murder.

Sarah, what's up?

Hey, I found two sets of prints on the murder weapon.

But we only found a match for one.

Winston, the Zamboni driver?

No. His fingerprints aren't in the system.

Then who?

Merrick Slade.

Really?

This doesn't make any sense.

Why would I want to kill my coach?

Well, you were seen arguing with her

a few nights ago.

Yeah, every skater argues with his coach.

But not every coach ends up dead afterwards.

Why were you arguing?

Because she was spending more time with Julia and Shauna

than she was with me.

But they're Olympic hopefuls.

Yeah, I've actually been to the Olympics.

- Wow. - Yeah.

And I would have medalled, too,

if it wasn't for one bad program, so...

Then why is she focusing more on Julia and Shauna

and not on you?

You don't know what this world is like.

The window for success is short.

Maybe she thought my best days were behind me.

I don't know.

That must have made you angry.

I'm telling you, I have nothing to do with her death.

Then why were your finger prints
