- Jesse Mills: The new digital board! It finally arrived! It's going to completely revolutionize the way we work. I mean it's going to be great! Here, check this out. Oh no. That's not... that's not what you want. No. No no no no no. One more time. That's so funny how that happens, eh? Okay, one more. I'm going to try again.
- Sup. Joseph Donovan: Jesse. Why don't we just do things the old fashioned way until you've worked the kinks out?
- Jan Renley: You can't just take Rex! He belongs to the Canine Unit.
- Charlie Hudson: But he's an eyewitness who can identify the kidnapper.
- Jan Renley: He's not trained to perform those sorts of duties! It's not protocol!
- Charlie Hudson: Well, screw protocol! We're trying to bring a young kid home!
- Sup. Joseph Donovan: Okay. Everybody just calm down. Charlie, exactly what are you proposing?
- Charlie Hudson: That Rex works with me.
- Jan Renley: Works with you? How?
- Charlie Hudson: Yes. I take Rex everywhere with me. He can react to whatever the killer has touched. A coat. A car. Joe. Look, Rex could find something that we'd never even considered.
- Jan Renley: Have you ever even owned a dog?
- Sup. Joseph Donovan: Jan, unfortunately, time isn't on our side. We have everything to gain. Nothing to lose.
- Charlie Hudson: Yes.
- Jan Renley: There's a bigger problem.
- Sup. Joseph Donovan: What's that?
- Jan Renley: When a canine loses the partner they've trained with, they often become unstable. Overly aggressive. Therefore, regulation suggests that we retire Rex.
- Charlie Hudson: Retire? Wait. Do you mean put him down?
- Jan Renley: There will be an assessment. And then a final decision will be made.
- Charlie Hudson: Joe! No! I'm not letting this happen.
- Jan Renley: It's not up to you.
- Sup. Joseph Donovan: When will this assessment take place?
- Jan Renley: Within 48 hours.
- Charlie Hudson: Renley. You have to leave Rex with me. At least until then. Okay? He might be the only way we find Sam.
- Jan Renley: I'll see what I can do.
- Sarah Truong: Thank you for inviting me.
- Charlie Hudson: Well, you're a part of the team. It wouldn't feel right to not have you be a part of it.
- Charlie Hudson: Enough of that! Understood? Yeah, I know. We both have our issues to deal with. Now is not the time. Look. I know you wanted to protect Officer Lindsay. And you couldn't. It's not your fault. But now, other officers need your help. I need you to come with us so that we can find out who did this. Yeah. And bring Sam home safe.
- Charlie Hudson: But don't worry. They're still searching. And hopefully they'll be able to get the trail again.
- Veronica Majors: Hopefully? That's it?
- Jesse Mills: Turns out your hunch about Sam's mother was right.
- Charlie Hudson: What do you mean?
- Jesse Mills: I found a photo of Emma Hansen.
- Charlie Hudson: That is not Sam's mother.
- Jesse Mills: That's correct. See, whoever this woman claiming to be Sam's mom is, it is not Emma Hansen.
- Sup. Joseph Donovan: Are you sure?
- Jesse Mills: I'm positive. Emma Hansen died of cancer eight years ago.
- Charlie Hudson: Then who the hell is this woman?
- Sarah Truong: So, Sam's mom was living under a false name?
- Charlie Hudson: For years.
- Sarah Truong: Pulling that off must have taken a lot of work.
- Charlie Hudson: Social insurance numbers, health cards, passports, driver's licenses. She had them all.
- Sarah Truong: Why was this woman doing it?
- Charlie Hudson: Because, as it turns out... she herself was a kidnapper.
- Charlie Hudson: You lied to us. Hmm? The real Emma Hansen is dead. Your name is Lisa Crawford. Your son's name is Sam Crawford. And your husband, Henry Crawford, has a warrant out for you in Michigan for child abduction!
- Jesse Mills: It's okay, Rex. He's going pretty hard on her.
- Sup. Joseph Donovan: He has to. Every second counts in a kidnapping case.
- Emma Hansen: I stole my son in a dead woman's name to get Sam away from that man.
- Charlie Hudson: You're telling me that you took your son to protect him from his father?
- Emma Hansen: Henry is violent. He wasn't at first. I thought things would change. But it only got worse. One day I came home and Sam was crying. He had a black eye. He was only four years old.
- Emma Hansen: I thought Sam believed that his father was dead. But he never stopped looking for us. He sent messages to everyone who'd ever known me, trying to find me.
- Charlie Hudson: Hmm.
- Emma Hansen: He got private detectives all over the US. He even offered a reward for Sam's return. A hundred thousand dollars.
- Sup. Joseph Donovan: Well maybe someone else kidnapped Sam and tried to collect the $100,000 reward.
- Charlie Hudson: Hopefully that someone still has to deliver Sam to his father.
- Charlie Hudson: Jesse, can you pull up a topographic map of the area the kidnapper ran away with Sam?
- Jesse Mills: Can I?
- Charlie Hudson: Can you?
- Jesse Mills: Oh, now? Yeah, sure.
- Sup. Joseph Donovan: Looks like someone's hungry.
- Charlie Hudson: Oh, right. Yeah. Yeah, uh let me see. Well, this is not the freshest, but... Want some? Make yourself at home!
- Charlie Hudson: You smell some one you don't like, don't you? Yeah? Go. Find it.
- Sup. Joseph Donovan: Apparently you need to know the magic word.
- Charlie Hudson: Search? Rex track!
- Charlie Hudson: Just don't... get close to that cliff! Oh yeah. Pease tell me they did not go this way. Come on. We're going around. Rex. Rex, you're not seriously thinking what I think you're thinking. Rex! No!
- Sup. Joseph Donovan: Hey! Charlie! Stop! Hey! Charlie! No, you can't do that!
- Charlie Hudson: Rex could drown!
- Sup. Joseph Donovan: Yeah, but dogs are great...
- Charlie Hudson: Ahhhhh!
- Sup. Joseph Donovan: ...swimmers.
- Sup. Joseph Donovan: What you did was crazy! You could have gotten yourself killed jumping off that cliff!
- Charlie Hudson: It was his idea. No, I don't have another sandwich.
- Jesse Mills: Police dogs are supposed to live with their partners.
- Charlie Hudson: Yeah. Really?
- Jesse Mills: Yeah. I suppose we could find him a cage for the night.
- Charlie Hudson: Okay, this is it. Make yourself at home. I find the couch is pretty comfy.
- Charlie Hudson: You still miss your partner, huh? Yeah. I know. I know. Sometimes, they... go away. It'll take a while to get over them.
- Charlie Hudson: Did you find anything on that guy that we saw Veronica talking with on the video?
- Jesse Mills: I did. I did. His name is Jackson Waters. He's got a long record of assault, fraud, extortion. The guy's a real charmer. I mean, most of his victims are women he was romantically involved with.
- Sup. Joseph Donovan: How'd she get mixed up with a guy like that?
- Jesse Mills: Well, one of the conditions of his parole was that he had to undergo counseling, so, he decided to take art therapy.
- Charlie Hudson: Veronica's weekly art classes.
- Jan Renley: The Canine Unit will not reinstate Rex under any circumstances.
- Charlie Hudson: No, this is... Look, Joe...
- Sup. Joseph Donovan: Charlie.
- Charlie Hudson: He saved a kid's life today. He found his partner's killer. He should be getting a medal, not...
- Sup. Joseph Donovan: Just... listen.
- Jan Renley: Rex is not going back to Canine Unit, because they've agreed to let him be partnered with you.
- Charlie Hudson: What?
- Jan Renley: He'll be your responsibility day and night. This is on a trial basis and subject to review, understand?
- Charlie Hudson: Yeah. Yeah.
- Jan Renley: And to be perfectly clear, I'm not comfortable with any of this, at all.
- Sup. Joseph Donovan: It's your call, Charlie.
- Charlie Hudson: You know what? It's, uh... It's up to both of us.
- Jan Renley: I'm glad it all worked out with you and Rex.
- Charlie Hudson: Me too.
- Jan Renley: But you never owned a dog, did you? I knew it.
- Charlie Hudson: You didn't tell me you could swim! Ahh. Uhh. Aghh! Yeah, don't worry pal. Yeah. We're going to find Sam and that person who killed your partner. You and me. Just next time, why don't you let me come up with the plan, huh?
- Charlie Hudson: I wish that you were part of the team back then. You might've saved us from a very chilly swim.
- Gus Masters: Then call K9 again! Would you please? We need someone down here now! I've got four months left running Forensics. K9 is not my responsibility.
- Gus Masters: That's how he reacts to the kidnapper's scent.
- Charlie Hudson: Why would he do that?
- Gus Masters: Because he's been so negatively imprinted with it. The important thing is not only can Rex track the kidnapper's scent...
- Charlie Hudson: He'll bark at whatever he smells it on.
- Charlie Hudson: What's the dog's name?
- Gus Masters: Rex.
- Charlie Hudson: Rex? Seriously?
- Gus Masters: Seriously.
