00:00The following program is rated PG and contains mature subject matter. Viewer discretion is advised.
00:13Congratulations on a hard-fought victory.
00:15It's your victory, Nick. You should be proud. Getting a will declared invalid is no small feat.
00:21Don't undersell yourself, Mercy. Not every paralegal goes the extra mile.
00:24We make a good team.
00:26Yeah. Not for much longer.
00:29Did I do something wrong?
00:31You're wasting your talents chained to a desk in a place like this. It's time for you to fly free.
00:37I put in a recommendation with the partners.
00:40Thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you!
00:43It's long overdue. You've earned it.
00:45Well, this calls for a drink.
00:47I can't. I had to see one last client tonight.
00:51I didn't see anything scheduled.
00:53This one's off the books. Just a little favor for a friend.
00:58Of course. You do too much pro bono, Nick.
01:01Keep it up and you'll put yourself in an early grave.
01:04Do you want me to call you a car?
01:06No, it's not that far. I'll just walk.
01:08Good job.
01:23Come on.
01:43Kamala! Now!
01:45No problem.
01:47Just take it easy, okay?
01:49Hurry up!
01:51If you need some help, I know where you can find shelter.
01:55Who's there?
02:00Is this some kind of joke?
02:02Hey. I don't need your help. It's okay. I got this.
02:22Hey.
02:36Hey.
02:37Morning, Rex.
02:38Hey.
02:39Sarah, what are we looking at?
02:41Well, dead male. Stabbed once in the chest.
02:43Jogger found him at dawn.
02:45Yeah? We know who he is?
02:47Well, it's next to the body.
02:49ID, cash, business card.
02:52Nick Drummond, attorney.
02:54The office is just a couple blocks from here.
03:01What is it, partner?
03:06Yeah, I see him.
03:08Who is he?
03:09I don't know, but Rex is picking up his scent, possibly from the murder weapon.
03:14Yep. Go, pal.
03:17Excuse me.
03:32Well, that's a new one.
03:37I didn't kill him.
03:39You princed her all over the murder weapon.
03:41I was just trying to scare the guy. I needed money for food.
03:45He was desperate. Maybe he wasn't cooperating.
03:47But he was. It was another guy who jumped out of the bushes.
03:50Another guy jumped out of the bushes and used your knife to kill the guy that you were mugging?
03:54It sounds cuckoo bananas, I know, but you haven't even heard the half of it yet.
03:58Try me.
04:00This guy, he's dressed in a superhero costume.
04:03Like it's Halloween. Mask and everything.
04:06Cool story. Let's get you booked.
04:08No, look.
04:10I'm telling you the truth. The guy scared the crap out of me.
04:13I dropped the knife and ran. I swear.
04:15We test your hands and clothes for blood. We're not going to find anything.
04:21Good idea. Yeah. Nice one.
04:32So you believe him?
04:34Yeah, why would somebody dress up as a superhero in a city park on a Tuesday night?
04:37All right, so the mugger made it up.
04:39The knife went through the sternum, directly into the victim's heart.
04:42And that would have taken a lot of strength.
04:44Our guy's definitely not that fit.
04:46Okay, all right, so we look into the superhero thing, but we hold him in the meantime.
04:49Okay, well, I will check security cameras in the area, see if any masked Avengers show up.
04:52Yeah.
04:54We'll visit Nick's firm. If it wasn't a mugging, maybe they know somebody who has motive.
04:58Lawyers have a lot of enemies.
05:00I can think of a few who have made an enemy out of me.
05:02Come on, pal. Let's go.
05:05I was just as paralegal, but Nick was a genuinely good person.
05:11Do you know how rare that is?
05:13I do.
05:15Can you think of anyone who might have wanted to hurt him?
05:18No. Everyone liked him.
05:22Can you tell me what time Nick left the office yesterday?
05:25Just after 10. He walked me out.
05:28Any idea why he might have gone to the park?
05:31He told me he was going to meet a client.
05:34That's pretty late.
05:36He said the client kept odd hours.
05:38You have a name?
05:40He didn't tell me.
05:42You won't find it in his calendar, either.
05:44The partners think he does too much pro bono work.
05:47He tries to keep it off the books as much as possible.
05:49Okay. Well, I'm still going to need to take a look at that calendar.
05:53Of course. Anything you need.
05:56Hey.
06:06Oh, there was a superhero.
06:08You found him?
06:10There was a security cam a block away from the west entrance to the park.
06:14You can see the victim walking here.
06:17And a little bit behind him.
06:20There. You see?
06:22Wait.
06:24Wait. Zoom in.
06:28The symbol on the costume. What is that?
06:31Moon and stars. I don't know it.
06:33Hold on. Look up the Nightkeeper.
06:36Nightkeeper.
06:40That brings us to the end of another crime-busting feature.
06:44And with justice served once more, this is your host,
06:47the Nightkeeper saying,
06:49Stay on the straight and narrow, my friends,
06:51or the next criminal we hunt in the dark just might be you.
06:56What did I just watch?
06:59The Nightkeeper.
07:01He used to host the late-night movie feature on local cable television.
07:06Nightkeeper?
07:08Played by Chip Bellamy.
07:10He retired the character when the TV station changed formats in 95.
07:15Or did he?
07:18Let Charlie know. Okay.
07:31Can I help you?
07:33Looking for Chip Bellamy?
07:35Oh, he's resting right now. Maybe you can come back later.
07:38I'm Detective Hudson, SJPD. It's important I talk to him now.
07:42Are you his wife?
07:44I am his caregiver, Ramona Escareno.
07:47Let him know he has a visitor. Please come in.
07:55Afternoon, Detective.
07:57Mr. Bellamy.
07:59Hope I didn't keep you waiting too long.
08:01I have great respect for the law enforcement.
08:04How can I help you?
08:06Well, there was an attack in Harborside Park last night.
08:09A man was killed.
08:11That's dreadful news.
08:13Who is it?
08:14A lawyer, Nick Drummond.
08:16Ah.
08:18Do you know him?
08:20The name sounds familiar.
08:23But I suppose it's because I've spent so many years in high-end real estate
08:28that I've dealt with my fair share of lawyers.
08:33Can you account for your whereabouts last night between 9 and 11 p.m.?
08:37Certainly. I was here, at home.
08:39My housekeeper, Ramona, can attest to that.
08:43Why do you ask?
08:45We believe that the killer was wearing a costume,
08:48one that you would be familiar with.
08:51Nightkeeper?
08:54I'm afraid I can't help you.
08:58You'll have to leave.
09:00Ah.
09:02Ah.
09:06Rex.
09:14Sorry. Some days are better than others.
09:17But I can confirm he was with me last night.
09:19You said that you're his caregiver, but he called you his housekeeper.
09:23He doesn't like to believe he needs a caregiver.
09:26He seems like he's in good health.
09:28Physically, yes, but he has delusional disorder.
09:32What kind of delusions does he have?
09:34Well, he believes his secret identity is a character he used to play on TV.
09:39He wasn't always like this.
09:41A few years ago, Chip and his wife went out for a walk in the park.
09:45There was a shooting nearby.
09:47Chip's wife got killed.
09:49He's never been the same.
09:50I remember hearing about this.
09:52She was hit by a stray bullet.
09:54Doctors believe the trauma triggered the disorder.
09:58What about the nightkeeper costume? You ever see him wearing that?
10:01No.
10:02A man came around a few months ago wanting to buy some old memorabilia for the show.
10:08Chip told him he didn't have the costume anymore.
10:11You remember the man?
10:13He left his card.
10:16He said he wanted to do a reboot of the show for a new generation.
10:20I remember because it upset Chip for days.
10:23He gets confused when people refer to the nightkeeper as a fictional character.
10:28To him, it's real.
10:31Mind if I hang on to this?
10:33Sure.
10:34Rex.
10:46Excuse me. Can I help you?
10:49Detective Charlie Hudson, SJPD.
10:53Hal Bellamy. Chip's nephew.
10:55Oh.
10:56What's this about?
10:58Well, your uncle's a person of interest in an investigation.
11:02I'm not sure what you're talking about.
11:04I don't know.
11:05I don't know what you're talking about.
11:07I don't know what you're talking about.
11:09I don't know what you're talking about.
11:11I don't know what you're talking about.
11:13I don't know what you're talking about.
11:15Detective.
11:16You should know that my uncle's not a well man.
11:18Ramona explained everything to me.
11:20We'll tread lightly, but I have a duty to investigate.
11:22No, no, no, no.
11:23I have the power of attorney and a responsibility to his health.
11:28The police could be traumatizing for him.
11:30I'm trying to keep him in the house and not in an institution.
11:33Okay?
11:34You have a good day, though.
11:36Same to you.
11:38Rex.
11:40Oh.
11:42Yeah, I don't care for him too much either, Paul.
11:48I've had some experience with delusional disorder.
11:51So it is possible that he thinks he's the character that he used to play on TV.
11:55Well, the trauma of seeing his wife killed could trigger psychosis, yeah.
11:59I need to know if it's an act.
12:01Well, Charlie, I would need to spend some time with him to make an evaluation.
12:06How's first thing tomorrow?
12:08I'll let the caregiver know you're coming.
12:10Okay, great. I'll see you at dinner tonight?
12:12We're going to be a little bit late.
12:14One more stop to make.
12:25Peter Gorley!
12:28Mind?
12:31That's me.
12:32I need to ask you a few questions.
12:35Hit me.
12:37Hold that thought.
12:40Looks like my partner has some questions of his own.
12:48What's he looking for?
13:00Funny you should ask.
13:07Where did this costume come from?
13:10I won it at an auction when the channel finally let it go a few years back.
13:14Bidding went pretty high, but it's worth it to me.
13:18Original.
13:19Worn on camera by Chip Bellamy himself.
13:22Came with a certificate of authenticity.
13:24Oh, you're a real fan, huh?
13:26Of Night Keeper?
13:27Haven't yet.
13:29As a kid, seeing a superhero who looked like me?
13:33It was special.
13:34Hmm.
13:35But what does this have to do with the cops?
13:39A suit just like this was worn in the commission of a violent crime last night.
13:45What?
13:46Makes no sense.
13:47Night Keeper fought for justice.
13:49Yet a man is dead?
13:51Well, if they're really posing as the Night Keeper,
13:54they have no respect for the character.
13:56So not you or this suit?
13:58No way.
13:59I haven't taken it out of the case since I got it.
14:02It's display only.
14:06I heard that you paid Chip Bellamy a visit,
14:09asking permission to use his character.
14:11Night Keeper was ahead of its time.
14:14These days, superheroes dominate the market.
14:19The Night Keeper is an original character,
14:21and it's begging for a reboot.
14:23With you as the lead.
14:26And I've been working on the voice, too.
14:30Stay on the straight and narrow, my friends,
14:32or the next criminal I hunt in the dark might just be you.
14:37Not bad, right?
14:39I don't think Chip loved the idea of a reboot, though.
14:42I bumped into him a few years back, and we got really friendly.
14:45He loved talking about the old days.
14:48But, um, he's totally changed.
14:51It was like he didn't even remember me the last time I saw him.
14:55Can you tell me where you were last night?
14:58Watching the hockey game at O'Reilly's.
15:00There were six of us, and the bartender's a friend of mine.
15:09I've explained to Chip why you're here,
15:11but don't be surprised if he doesn't remember.
15:14Well, delusional disorder would prevent him from remembering.
15:17I'm glad you understand.
15:19Is he on any antipsychotic medications?
15:21A daily neuroleptic to stabilize his mood.
15:24Does he ever get violent?
15:26Not that I've seen.
15:27He gets occasional bouts of temper when he gets confused.
15:30How often does he leave the house?
15:32A few times a week.
15:33He likes to go in the evening.
15:35He calls it his neighborhood patrol,
15:37keeping an eye out for trouble, but really it's just a walk.
15:40And what does he do?
15:42I don't know.
15:44Keeping an eye out for trouble, but really it's just a walk.
15:47And you go with him?
15:49Sometimes yes, sometimes no.
15:51He's quite independent despite his illness.
15:57Here we are.
15:59Mr. Bellamy, I'm, um, I'm Sarah Jung.
16:02It's very nice to meet you.
16:06Not in the mood for visitors today, Ramona.
16:08Please show her out.
16:09Chip, we talked about this.
16:11Let me.
16:15Mr. Bellamy, I, um,
16:17I understand that you have an affinity for crime solving.
16:20I'm the head of forensics with the SJPD.
16:23I was wondering if you would consider
16:25sitting down with me for a chat.
16:27I actually could really use your help
16:29with a case that I'm working on.
16:31I would love to.
16:33Please call me Chip.
16:44Hey, boss, you have a minute?
16:46Yeah.
16:47Okay, so working backwards through the victim
16:49Nick Drummond's case files,
16:50I found a case that connects Nick to Chip Bellamy.
16:52Oh, so?
16:53So we know that Chip's wife was killed
16:55by a straight bullet in the park, right?
16:57Yeah, Diane Bellamy.
16:58We charged a 22-year-old biker, Spivey.
17:00Yeah, Will Spivey, that's right.
17:02Nick was his defense lawyer.
17:04Yeah, but they won. Spivey was acquitted.
17:06Maybe Chip wasn't happy with that outcome.
17:10I remember the Spivey case.
17:12Nick mounted a good defense, of course,
17:14but Spivey was headed for conviction
17:16until the victim's husband took the stand.
17:20Um, Chip something...
17:22Chip Bellamy.
17:23That's it.
17:24He was the eyewitness,
17:25but he testified that Spivey targeted his wife
17:28because he knew his secret identity.
17:31He sounded crazy.
17:32His idea on the shooter wasn't credible.
17:34That's why Spivey wasn't convicted.
17:36Is it possible that Chip blamed Nick?
17:38Something he did during cross-examination set him off?
17:42No.
17:43He said all this during direct testimony.
17:45The defense didn't even have a chance to cross.
17:48Nick felt sorry for Chip.
17:50He tried to help him out when the trial was over.
17:53Is it possible that Nick went to go meet Chip
17:56the night that he died?
17:59He did say the client was a friend.
18:01He could have meant Chip.
18:03Ruff!
18:08You have a lovely home, Chip.
18:12Homes are my business.
18:14Real estate isn't your only job, though, is it?
18:19I don't know what you mean.
18:20Well, you have a reputation among law enforcement professionals.
18:25Or maybe I'm being silly.
18:27Maybe it's just rumors.
18:29Well, what have you heard?
18:31I've heard that you're the nightkeeper.
18:36If I were, we'd have to keep this between us.
18:40You understand?
18:41She can't be trusted.
18:43Who do you mean? Your wife?
18:45No.
18:46The housekeeper, Ramona.
18:50So you think Nick specifically went to the park to meet up with Chip?
18:54That's my theory.
18:55The question is, why were they meeting?
18:57Did Chip have motive to kill him?
18:59Well, maybe there isn't a reason.
19:01Chip has been displaying classic signs of paranoia.
19:04He thinks his caregiver is out to get him.
19:06Interesting.
19:08Yeah, I'm heading back now.
19:09I'll catch up with you back at the station.
19:11Yeah, sounds good.
19:12I'm getting another call.
19:13I'll call you back.
19:14Okay.
19:15I'm heading back now.
19:16I'll catch up with you back at the station.
19:18Yeah, sounds good.
19:19I'm getting another call.
19:20Hey, Jesse.
19:21On my way back now.
19:22Wait, Charlie.
19:23Are you still downtown?
19:24Yeah, why?
19:25Someone is live streaming an armed robbery in progress
19:27at the Little B convenience store on Belmont.
19:29A person in a nightkeeper costume has confronted the gunman.
19:32I'm not sure why he's out in the middle of the day.
19:34Okay, we're on our way.
19:35Hang on, pal.
19:46S.J.P.D.
19:48No selfies, please.
19:54The cops wouldn't have heard of the deal.
19:56What are you talking about deal?
19:58You were supposed to let me get away.
20:01Look, I was paid to pretend to rob the place.
20:04The guy gave me that.
20:06Look at it.
20:07It's a prop.
20:08It's a gun.
20:09It's a gun.
20:10It's a gun.
20:11It's a gun.
20:12It's a gun.
20:13Look at it.
20:14It's a prop.
20:15What guy?
20:16The masked super freak.
20:18After he tied me up, he posed for the cameras
20:20and took off that way.
20:22Let's go.
20:23Let's go.
20:54Let's go.
21:08I wouldn't.
21:15Vader Gourley.
21:24I had nothing to do with any murder.
21:26And yet there you were in the costume you told me
21:28that you never wear.
21:30I had to because of the murder.
21:32What are you talking about?
21:33Look, the Nightkeeper, he's a hero, not a villain.
21:37He's a champion of the little guy,
21:39not a cold-blooded killer.
21:41The people, they needed to see that.
21:43You're telling me that you staged an armed robbery
21:45to protect the reputation of a fictional character?
21:48You make it sound worse than it is.
21:50The actor you hired is probably going to see jail time.
21:52He took my money.
21:53He knew the risk.
21:55Yeah?
21:57I don't think you understand how much trouble you're in.
22:01Look, I'm sorry, OK?
22:04It won't happen again, I promise.
22:07But can I get my suit back?
22:09It means a lot to me.
22:11Your suit is with forensics.
22:15And I hope for your sake that Nick Drummond's blood
22:17isn't on it.
22:20Ugh.
22:25No trace of blood on the costume.
22:27Well, with nothing connecting Bader to the murder,
22:29we're going to have no choice but to release him for now.
22:31What about the other charges?
22:32Ah, it's public mischief.
22:34He'll get a court date.
22:35Well, he got what he wanted.
22:37Nightkeeper's a hashtag now.
22:39As long as he keeps his hashtags away from this case.
22:42Yeah, you got anything on Chip?
22:44I'm heading back today.
22:45You think he's capable of murder?
22:47He believes his delusions are truth,
22:49and that can be dangerous,
22:50but he does seem driven to help people, not hurt them.
22:53Last night you mentioned paranoia.
22:55Yeah, he seems to believe that his caregiver, Ramona,
22:57has been placed there to spy on him.
22:59It could fit with the delusion.
23:01Jess, you did the background check on her, right?
23:03Yeah, I did.
23:04There's nothing in her background or job history
23:06to suggest she's anything but a consummate professional.
23:08OK, well, I got to go see Chip now.
23:13You'll be safe, right?
23:15Of course.
23:16But, you know, so far he's been friendly.
23:19Well, he was also friendly with Nick Drummond.
23:22Didn't turn out too well for Nick.
23:33Nice to see you again, Chip.
23:34I've been looking forward to it.
23:36So have I.
23:38Hmm.
23:46Yeah, it's such a nice day.
23:48Why don't we go for a walk?
23:50Young lady, you read my mind.
23:52I know a wonderful park nearby.
23:57Sorry to interrupt.
23:59We were just going out.
24:01To the park.
24:02Oh, lovely.
24:04Chip, your pill before you go.
24:08Ah, yes.
24:09My daily vitamin.
24:11Keeps the bones strong and the blood pumping.
24:25Charlie, take a look at this.
24:29What is it?
24:31OK, so that's the costume from the night of the murder, right?
24:36That's Bader's.
24:38The symbols are slightly different in design.
24:40Exactly.
24:41So this is likely not the suit that the killer wore.
24:43Well, I looked at a few of these videos.
24:45I mean, this is the version from the show,
24:47and it is the one that Bader owns.
24:49Well, Bader said that it was authentic.
24:51So where did this other one come from?
24:53Could be fan-made.
24:55I mean, no IP is too obscure when it comes to cosplay.
24:57Yeah, but why would you go to all the trouble
24:59to recreate this entire suit in perfect detail?
25:02Why don't you get it wrong on the symbol?
25:11Oh.
25:12The pills Ramona gives me,
25:14they play cruel tricks with my memories.
25:17You've stopped taking them.
25:19Well, I need to know my own mind.
25:22I can't have someone else take control of it.
25:25Is that what you think Ramona's trying to do?
25:27Ramona and my nephew Al,
25:29they both turned against me.
25:41Hmm?
25:43First you arrest me, now you want my help?
25:46Maybe we need some bonus points with the judge.
25:49What I want is for my suit to go back where it belongs.
25:54Behind glass.
25:56Yeah, so I'm guessing you want us to close this case
25:59so we can release the evidence.
26:01You ever see this version of the nightkeeper symbol before?
26:05Heaven, yeah.
26:07That's the prototype.
26:09Chip designed it himself.
26:11The studio changed it slightly when the show got picked up,
26:14so the star popped on camera.
26:16How do you know all this?
26:17Chip gave me the history when I first met him.
26:20I told him that I had the original suit.
26:23He told me it wasn't the true original.
26:26At the time, Chip had the suit that he designed.
26:29You saw it.
26:31Yeah.
26:32That was about three years ago.
26:36Not long before his wife died.
26:38His caregiver told me that he never kept the suit from the show.
26:42All I know is, he sure seemed to love it then.
26:50This is a beautiful park.
26:53I come here to clear my mind,
26:55but lately that's been a challenge.
26:59Because you're suspicious of Ramona and Hal?
27:04Are they not following your doctor's orders by giving you that medication?
27:07They do what suits them.
27:11You be careful and keep an eye on them.
27:14But don't let them catch you doing that.
27:16What do you think they do?
27:18They come after you, too.
27:20But if they do, I'll protect you.
27:24Like the Nightkeeper?
27:28Do you think the Nightkeeper would ever hurt anyone?
27:31Not if it can be helped.
27:33And if it can't?
27:36The police can only do so much to keep people safe.
27:39They have rules and protocols that must be followed.
27:44A true hero has no such limitations.
27:47What about a moral code?
27:49Self-imposed restrictions only hinder the pursuit of justice.
27:53Those who do harm to others must be dealt with quickly and harshly,
27:57to protect the innocent.
28:00If Uncle Chip kept anything from his time on that show,
28:04I'm sure I would have seen it.
28:06What if he keeps it hidden?
28:08Why would he do that?
28:10Well, if Chip believes that he's the Nightkeeper,
28:13keeping his costume and his identity secret could be part of his delusion.
28:17Batman's Bruce Wayne, and, well, Nightkeeper's Chip Bellamy.
28:20Even if that's true, which I doubt, this is a big house.
28:24Yeah, that's why I asked you to come.
28:27The house is still under Chip's name, but you have power of attorney,
28:30so I need your consent to conduct a search.
28:33And what if I deny your request?
28:35Come back with a warrant.
28:39Go ahead. Waste your time. I don't care.
28:42Rex.
28:45Uncle Chip didn't commit a murder, so why would his scent be on that knife?
28:49It's not Chip's scent I'm looking for. It's Nick Drummond's.
28:52Track it.
28:57Come on.
29:24What's this room?
29:26Study.
29:27Sounds like a good place to start.
29:29Sure.
29:45Satisfied?
29:56What?
30:02I had no idea.
30:04That's private.
30:06You have no right to be in here.
30:08I'm sorry, Uncle Chip. You know I...
30:11It's okay. Detective Hudson only wants to help.
30:14What?
30:21Blood on the gloves.
30:23If Rex is right, it's probably Nick Drummond's.
30:38Did you get the confession?
30:39Chip is adamant he wasn't in the park the night Nick Drummond was killed.
30:42Yeah, but Nick's blood is all over the gloves. Chip's DNA is all over the costume.
30:46Yeah, but that's all circumstantial until we prove that the knife was in his hand.
30:49Do you think he's capable?
30:51He's capable of violence if he felt it was needed to protect someone.
30:54We can't release him.
30:56Yeah, but he should be in a hospital, not a cell.
30:59Yeah, I agree.
31:00Great, I can facilitate his transfer.
31:02Good, do it.
31:03Okay.
31:07Chip doesn't have motive. Not a single one that fits with his delusion.
31:11Nick was a good guy. He's not protecting anybody by killing them.
31:15Yeah, there may not be a reason.
31:17I don't know. I don't buy that.
31:19Chip thinks he's the nightkeeper. The nightkeeper is a hero.
31:22There's got to be something else at play.
31:25You know what? I was able to get into Nick's voicemail.
31:28Chip left him a message two days before Nick was killed.
31:30Well, Chip doesn't have a cell phone. Did he call from his landline?
31:32I was able to trace it to a burner phone. Here's the message.
31:35It's me. We need to meet. Let's meet at the usual place.
31:40Rex!
31:45He's doing the nightkeeper voice.
31:47Except that's not the nightkeeper. It's somebody doing an impersonation.
31:50Rex.
32:00You know, I have a spare room I can rent you.
32:04It'll save you and your friends some gas money.
32:08Got something for you. Search warrant.
32:11Looking for what?
32:12A burner phone. The one he used to lure Nick Drummond to the park.
32:16It's me. We need to meet. Let's meet at the usual place.
32:24Okay. Look.
32:26Look. Yes. I made the call.
32:29But I never met this Nick guy and I sure didn't kill him.
32:33It was just to seal the deal.
32:35What deal?
32:37I'm not supposed to talk about it until the paperwork's drawn up, but...
32:41Chip was finally considering selling me the nightkeeper rights.
32:45What does this have to do with Nick?
32:46Apparently the lawyer thought it was a bad move.
32:49That call was to prove to Nick that I could do the voice.
32:53To convince him that the nightkeeper... the nightkeeper was in the right hands.
32:59Chip told you this himself?
33:01Well, I haven't spoken to him yet.
33:03But Ramona, she told me everything.
33:13Hey, Sarah, you got something?
33:15Yeah. I got results on Chip's medication. It's a sugar pill. A placebo.
33:19Wait, so even when he was on his medication, he was off of it?
33:22Exactly.
33:23Thank you. That's great.
33:26I never imagined Chip would hurt anyone.
33:30So you tricked Bader into impersonating Chip so he could set up a meeting with Nick at the park?
33:36Yes.
33:37Why?
33:39A few months ago, I caught Chip leaving the house late at night wearing the nightkeeper costume.
33:46I was worried he was going to get hurt.
33:49When I asked him to stop, he got angry.
33:52He told me he would be contacting his lawyer to discuss my dismissal.
33:56So in other words, you're saying you did know he had the suit and that he was trying to fire you.
34:01Yes. I just wanted his lawyer to know he was sick.
34:06I just wanted him to understand I only had Chip's best interests at heart.
34:11Best interests.
34:13Why'd you switch out his medication for placebos?
34:17Chip would refuse his medication, but I was the only one who could see the effects.
34:23The placebo was to be sure everyone else could see he was truly ill.
34:31How'd you get Chip to the park, in the suit no less?
34:35I made up a story about a crime in progress.
34:39I knew Chip could not resist helping.
34:43Still, I didn't think it would go this far.
34:53Chip's delusions have more in common with reality than that story.
34:58I agree. She's definitely lying. But why? And who's she protecting?
35:02Donovan.
35:05When?
35:08How did he get past security?
35:11Okay. Okay, fine.
35:14That was Waterford Hospital.
35:17Okay. Okay, fine.
35:20That was Waterford Hospital.
35:22Chip stole a keycard from a doctor and was able to leave the facility.
35:26Resourceful.
35:27Yeah.
35:29You know, Charlie, check the house.
35:31And take Sarah with you. They have a rapport. She'll be able to calm him down.
35:34You got it.
35:44Chip?
35:47You hear? It's Sarah Chung.
35:52Oh no.
35:54It's hell. He's alive.
36:13Paramedics are on their way.
36:14Not really necessary, but thank you.
36:17Did Chip do this?
36:20Came to get him closed for the hospital and then suddenly he showed up here.
36:24Was he agitated when he arrived?
36:26I don't think so. He seemed to agree when I told him that we had to go back to the hospital.
36:30And I turned my back and...
36:32All right. Check the whole house. He's not here.
36:36He likes the park down the road. He took me there before.
36:39Worth a shot once the paramedics get here.
36:41No. Don't wait for me.
36:42Don't wait for me. I'll be fine.
36:45Just please find my uncle.
36:54There has got to be something.
36:56Yeah, even if there is, it's beyond my skill set to find it.
36:58And I don't want to brag, but my skill set's pretty darn high.
37:01Jesse.
37:02The point is, is that Ramona's record is squeaky clean.
37:04No bumps in her job history and she seems like a pretty good mom.
37:08Well, she is a kid.
37:09Yeah, yeah. 16-year-old son lives with her parents in Mexico.
37:12She sends them a chunk of her salary every month.
37:14She's applying for a visa so that he can go to university here next year.
37:19So she put all that at risk getting involved in this.
37:22Why?
37:28I'll take her out of the car.
37:29We should split up.
37:30Yeah, that's agreed. You take Rex.
37:32No, Chip. Chip won't hurt me.
37:34No, we can't take that chance.
37:35Look, if you see him, then just make sure you call me before you approach him, okay?
37:38Okay. Come on. Rex, let's go.
37:47I told the detective everything I know.
37:49Not everything.
37:53You didn't mention your son.
37:57We know you've been trying to bring him here.
37:59The question is, why would you risk everything that you've been working towards?
38:03He didn't give me a choice.
38:05He who?
38:07Hal.
38:09He said that if I didn't cooperate, he'd fire me.
38:14He'd spread lies about me.
38:16I would lose my nursing license.
38:19My son wouldn't be able to come to Canada.
38:24Are you willing to testify that Hal set Chip up to do this?
38:28Are you willing to testify that Hal set Chip up to kill Nick?
38:33Chip didn't kill anyone.
38:35He was home.
38:37I didn't lie about that.
38:40Still, I wouldn't have done it if I knew what Hal was planning to do.
38:58Come on.
39:25You messed everything up.
39:28I know.
39:35Hey, Joe.
39:36Sarah, is Charlie with you?
39:38He's not picking up.
39:39We split up to cover more ground.
39:41You need to find him.
39:43Why? What's happening?
39:45Look, it wasn't Chip who killed Nick.
39:47It was Hal.
39:48Wait, the nephew?
39:51He knows that we came here looking for Chip.
39:53Okay, listen, Sarah, I'm sending backup your way, okay?
39:56Be careful.
39:59I gotta go. Rex is on the move.
40:07What's your endgame now?
40:09Finish what I started.
40:11The whole Chip thing, obviously.
40:13Chip didn't kill Nick.
40:15It was you in the costume.
40:18You were using your power of attorney to spend all his money.
40:23You know, he was going to make Nick Drummond his legal representative.
40:27And Nick would find out that you were stealing from Chip.
40:33Okay, shut up and let me think.
40:37You better hurry. My partner's coming.
40:40You know, you had my Uncle Chip in custody for murder.
40:43All you had to do was literally lock him up.
40:51Doesn't work that way.
40:52Yeah?
40:54Well, you only have yourself to blame.
41:00No.
41:01No one else has to die.
41:04And what exactly are you going to do about it?
41:11You couldn't even save your own wife.
41:14You remember that?
41:15You remember Auntie?
41:16Don't.
41:17Huh?
41:23Shit.
41:36Don't move.
41:49You okay?
41:50Get in there.
41:53Chip saved my life.
41:55With a little assistance from your partner.
41:58Nice working with you, Rex.
42:02You alright, Nightkeeper?
42:05I told you the park was under my protection.
42:13It is the solemn duty I can't refuse.
42:16Watching for those who believe the dark will wash away their misdeeds.
42:21Even now, I cannot rest.
42:23It is still an hour until sunrise.
42:26And cut!
42:34You know what? I was skeptical at first, but Vader's reboot looks pretty good.
42:38I'm surprised Chip wasn't here today.
42:40Anyone hear how he's doing?
42:41Yeah, I talked to his doctor.
42:42They've got his meds straightened out and I think he's turned a corner.
42:45That's good to hear. He's been through a lot.
42:46Yeah, well, he's not the only one.
42:48I mean, Ramona had her nurse's license suspended.
42:51And for what?
42:52Hal Bellamy's breed.
42:54Well, I hope this doesn't affect her ability to bring her son here.
42:57Well, it's okay. I made a couple of phone calls.
42:59Oh, you old softy.
43:01Yeah, well, softy.
43:02Nightkeeper would be proud.
43:04You know, it's a shame we all don't have superpowers.
43:06Make our job a lot easier.
43:08Oh, who says we don't?
43:10I got my superpower right here.
43:13Good boy.
43:18Good boy.
43:19Good boy.
43:48Good boy.
