Hudson & Rex

Charlie where do we keep the creamers?

Come on Jesse. You know the real cops drink the coffee black.

What the real cops don't know

is that cream adds texture

and masks bitterness. Okay?

- Here you go, boy. - (REX WHINES)

Really? You're the one who wanted to go to the park.

Okay now. I'm sorry I sound a little bit on edge.

But the coffee shop ran out.

And well, there's nobody around.

Well that is your fault

for going in to the office on a Sunday.

Well, I work better when it's quiet.

Stand by for details on-

Then why do you have the police radio on?

Because sometimes I get lonely.

Are you going to tell me where they are or not?

We have a possible break-in at Tony's Wharf Restaurant

Jesse, can you turn that up?

I repeat.

Possible break-in at Tony's Wharf Restaurant.

1215 Aspen Avenue.

On our way.

Okay, right after you tell me where the creamers are. Charlie?

This is 1217. Copy. - Charlie, hello?

Heading there now. - (STATIC)

Come on, pal.

Yeah, I bet you wish we were at the park now.

Hey!!

Ughhh!

(REX LICKING)

Oh!

Oh yeah.

I was worried about you, too.

Hi.

Rex saved my life.

If I had gone into that building

I wouldn't be here right now.

Yeah, he pulled you out of the water.

Ohhh!

Oh, that explains why my leg hurts so much.

Yeah, you busted up your ankle real good.

The Green Bottle Bomber, Joe.

I saw him.

Caught him in the act.

He must have blown up in the explosion.

Actually, no. No he didn't, Charlie.

Forensics didn't find any human remains in the debris.

Mr. Hudson.

You suffered a lateral malleolus fracture.

So we'll need your leg elevated.

And you're going to need plenty of rest.

And can we try and keep the paws off the bed?

Yeah.

Ohhh yeah.

- I'm feeling pretty woozy. - Yeah, that's the Tramadol.

Listen, Charlie. I need you to try to shake it off.

We've got a bomber to catch. You said you saw him.

I need a description if you can.

Male.

Around six feet.

Hey!!

Green jacket on.

He was wearing a face mask, and...

And curly, brown hair.

Okay, that's good.

Why don't you get some rest, okay?

We'll take it from here.

Yeah.

Yeah, I know. I don't like hospitals either.

So this is the Green Bottle Bomber's fourth hit.

So far, he's burnt down a pet shop, a house, a gambling den

and a restaurant.

And other than Charlie, only one person has seen him.

Yeah. Sharon Yearwood.

Wife of fire fighter, Bud Yearwood.

He lost his life during the second burn.

Well that makes our guy not only an arsonist, but a murderer.

And the accelerants he uses varies.

And so far, there's no connection between any of his targets.

The only consistent factor is the igniter.

He always tosses a Molotov cocktail in a green bottle.

Yeah, except this time,

he tried to lure Charlie inside-

and escaped out another exit-

where we caught him on CCTV cam.

It's too bad it's only in black and white.

Well, patience.

There we go.

See, I did that.

That was colour based on Charlie's memory.

A male, at least six feet,

with curly, brown hair.

Last seen wearing a puffy green jacket,

a black hoodie

and a half face mask.

Speak of the devil. Hey guys.

What part of Get some rest

do you not understand?

It's about the explosion.

I just remembered something.

There must have been somebody cooking in the kitchen.

Because I smelled garlic.

Are you sure? Because the case file said

there was no sign of human remains.

It may not be about cooking.

Some chemical combinations

replicate the smell of garlic.

Yeah, the fire department needs to know about that.

Sarah, I need you to go talk to the firemen.

Yeah, yeah. I can talk to fire fighters.

Listen. I'm still a functioning cop.

I can do plenty from bed.

Okay, well follow up with Bud Yearwood's widow.

She's the last person to see our guy.

Good, I'm glad you feel that way.

She's on her way to see me now.

Dr. Lee.

Please dial 529.

That's my Bud.

We were on our way to dinner

when dispatch reported

unusual chemical smells in a residence.

Bud knew what it meant.

So he raced to the scene.

Do you remember what you saw?

It all happened so fast.

In a few seconds, the place was a fireball.

And Bud was gone.

Oh, he's so sweet.

Thank you.

I didn't know you were allowed dogs in a hospital.

What's his name?

Rex.

And he's not your ordinary dog.

I still roll over to wake up Bud,

only to realize he's no longer there.

It's like losing him all over again.

It's the hardest part.

Even harder than the money problems.

You didn't get insurance?

Not yet.

The department is holding the settlement.

Something about Bud being under investigation.

Under investigation for what?

That hasn't been made clear to me.

I have enough to worry about.

What with funeral costs

and making ends meet.

Um...

Listen, if there's anything that I can do-

Find the man who did this.

And put him in prison.

No one should have to go through what I've been through.

Yeah.

Well, I'm not surprised he smelled garlic.

The white phosphorous tends to replicate the smell of garlic.

And that was what he used

to light his first fire at the pet store.

He's recycling his greatest hits.

Yeah, unfortunately it's easy enough to make at home.

All you need is some finely powdered charcoal, cinnamon,

a couple of beakers, and the pièce de résistance

Urine?

Ah, I see you know your way around incendiary munitions.

Yeah, as head of forensics, I'm a bit of a Jill-of-all-trades.

Oh, I'm kind of a science geek myself.

Back in high school, everybody had their favourite athlete.

But I was really into chemical compounds.

- Really? - Yeah.

What was your favourite?

I want to say technetium because I dig radioactive isotopes.

But,

I'm going to go with oxygen for obvious reasons.

See, I'm a bit more of a mercury girl.

You know, it's as beautiful as it is toxic.

- (SARAH LAUGHS) - Wow!

You surprise me, Dr. Truong

as someone from the SJPD.

Call me Sarah.

What's your beef with the SJPD?

I just get the sense

that you guys don't think very much of us.

We can be a little dismissive.

I mean, I haven't even asked your name yet.

Asher Browning.

Nice to meet you.

So you're on the Green Bottle Bomber case?

Yeah, aren't we all?

Some of us more than others.

I mean, I've been chasing this pyro since the beginning.
