Huh. I must've left it open.
[tense music continues] ♪
[sighs with relief]
I wasn't sure if you weregoing to show up.
I guess people in a jamhave a way of doing that.
I was really looking forwardto that egg roll.
[gun cocks]
What's that for?
[gunshots]
So, let's start with trust.
All right.
Trust.
People in crime fiction, they don't trust each other.
But by contrast, the mystery writer
creates a bond with the reader.
So there's a tension betweenstory and storyteller.
What?
Your look.
What look?
You think I'm gonna lose them.
No, I think you're doing great.
But you're frowning.
I'm not frowning, I was thinking.
So your mind is wandering?
No.
But I was thinking about whatyou were saying, and just...
I don't know, how it wasn'tat all what I would've said.
Oh boy.
No, no.
It's a good thing.
I think that they can benefitfrom hearing
a different perspective.
Yeah?
Yeah, absolutely.
You're doing great.
Please, continue.
Okay.
Now, Interestingly,
the earliest definitionfor the word trust,
was alliance.
So this one has16 million views,
and it's a woman talkingabout bees.
Yeah, I know.
I've seen this one before.
It's actually fascinating.
My point is, you doing aTeachable Talk is a huge deal.
There're also talkswith 16 views.
That will not be you.
I mean, come on.
Who wouldn't love you?
Morning.
For instance...
For instance what?
Nothing.
Nothing, nothing?
All right, now thisl gotta investigate.
We were just talking about Amydoing T Squared in Seattle.
T Squared?
Yeah.
Uh, Teachable Talks.
It's where speakerstalk about big ideas,
or new ways to look at things.
I am speaking on why peopleare so obsessed with mysteries.
I was just saying that a lotof people would be really
interested in hearingabout that.
For instance, you.
Gotcha.
You know, your dad actuallymentioned this to me.
But I thought it was Friday.
It is.
But Bishop wants me thereearly to rehearse.
Bishop?
Uh, Tim Bishop.
He's the founderof Teachable Talks.
[clears throat]He's a little more than that.
Uh, usual, Travis?
Yes.
Thank you, Holly.
Huh.
Uh, so...
When do you take off?
Now, actually.
Bags are in the trunk.
Your dad's not going to go?
Yeah, he's coming.
Just somebody's workingon his house today,
so he's gonna driveover tomorrow.
I never heard how yougot invited to this thing.
Tim.
Bishop.
Yeah. Tim Bishop.
Yeah, he's an old friendof mine.
Uh, anyway.
You know what?
I should get going.
I don't want to get stuckin traffic.
All right.
Well, uh, travel safe.
Yeah, you too.
You're... you'renot going anywhere.
[laughs awkwardly]Just have a good day.
All right, um...
-Bye.-Bye.
Bye, Holly.
Kill 'em, Amy.
Hey, tell Tim I say hi.
Yeah.
Hey, Holly.
Your phone.
Hey, let me ask youa question.
Uh, so... you know thisTim Bishop guy too?
Um, yes?
And what's his story?
Oh, he's a professor, psychologist,
wrote a bunch of books.
Sort of a genius.
He's a genius, yeah?
Yeah.
But I mean so is Amy.
Right. Yeah, yeah.
And how do you, uh, howdo you know this genius?
Well, through Amy.
Through Amy?
Okay. Fine.
He's her ex-boyfriend.
Oh.
Yeah.
They were perfectfor each other.
Really?
Totally.
But obviously thingsdidn't work out.
Although I do thinkhe's still single.
And he's British too, so I mean, that accent.
Hmm.
Thank you, Holly.

When I came up with the conceptof Teachable Talks,
I had no idea whatit would turn into,
or what it would takeout of me.
To quote a great writer,"There's no trap so deadly
"as the trap you setfor yourself."
Raymond Chandler.
Right. You know it.
Ahh.
You gave me my first Chandler.
"The Long Goodbye".
I remember.
Mmhmm.
Took me weeks to realize
you were trying to tell mewe were over.
Oh, well.
I don't think I even knewthat myself at the time.
Well, remind me again.
Why did we break up?
Ah, well.
I think it was your extreme fearof commitment.
Let's not forget your extremecommitment to your work.
[laughs]
Okay, all right, fair enough.
[laughs]
So, tell me.
Is there anyone specialfor you right now?
Oh, well... you know.
I mean, sort of.
Uh, nothing err, you know.
But, I mean, it's...
You have not changedone bit.
Well, what about you?
Oh, uh, well, I'm, uh, the Chairof the department now.
So there's that.
So you haven't changed either.
[laughs]
It's good to see you, Bishop.
It's been way too long, Winslow.
[laughs]
No one has called methat since...
Well, since you.
Well, well.
What?
[glass clinks]
People toasting.
Yeah.
What do they look liketo you?
Well, from readingtheir body language,
I would say they werea couple.
Hmm-mm.
I would definitely say thatthis is not their first date.
Yeah.
And from reading you, I'd say you know them.
That's Alexis McHale.
Head of PR for McHale Tech, and their COO Billy Poole.
McHale Tech, as in who'ssponsoring this round
of Teachable Talks?
Right.
You'll meet Mitchell McHale.
Tech wizard.
Created this money lending app
that made him a bazilliondollars.
I think he spent a zillion of iton his electric car.
I joined their advisory boardlast month.
He's, uh, underwriting thisround so he can do his own tour,
promoting this new softwarecalled "Slooth".
As in, detective?
Mmm.
A virtual one.
S-L-O-O-T-H.
It's an acronym, it standsfor something complicated,
like Sequential Logarithmicsomething something.
Anyway, Mitchell's shoppinginto police departments.
A computer that solves crime?
I don't know, I'm not sureyou can reduce deduction
down to a bunch of zeroesand ones.
Like, for instance, I don'tthink that a computer
would be able to infer, from what you've shared,
that Alexis isn'tMcHale's sister,
she's his wife, right?
And Billy Poole'snot just his COO.
Who is he?
He's his best friend.
[inhales sharply]Ooh, ouch.
[sighs]
Are you cold?
No, no. I'm fine.
[laughs]
Thank you for dinner, though.
My pleasure.
Well...
Hey, can I interest you
in a slice of the best piein Seattle?
Uh...
You know, I really shouldreview my talk.
I did mention it's the best piein Seattle, right?
[laughs]
Yeah.
Oh.
Goodnight, Bishop.
See you tomorrow, Winslow.
Yeah.
Bye.
So, why do we call misdirections "red herrings?"
Well, the first instanceof the term
dates all the way back to... 15... something.
15... Ugh.
1567, when Elizabethan writerThomas Nash published a...
[sighs]
Lenten Stuffe, or the Praiseof the Red Herring.
Now in that book...
[sighs]This is awful.
[sighs]
Mmm.
Who's distracted now, huh?
[phone rings]
Oh.
Hey, honey.
Hey Dad.
How's Seattle?
Good.
Yeah, Seattle is good.
How's Garrison?
[laughs]
It's... It's... It's fine.
Great.
Honey, is there, uh,
is there something you wantto talk to me about?
No.
No, no.
I'm just here, uh, rehearsingfor my talk, and uh...
I did go outto dinner tonight.
[clears throat]
With Tim Bishop.
Dinner as, uh, with allthe, uh, all the speakers?
Nope, no, it was just, uh, just me and him.
Uh-huh.
How'd that go?
It was nice, surprisingly enough.
Oh.
Good. That's, that's good.
[sighs]
You know what Dad, um, I'mjust going to get back to it,
uh, and I will, uh, see you tomorrow?
Yeah, you will.
Okay.
All right, bye.
Bye.
[sighs]
[groans]
(Holly) You off to Seattle?
Not without my Joe to go.
Did you hear from Amy?
Yeah.
She had dinner last nightwith Tim Bishop.
As in, just the two ofthem dinner?
Um. Hmm.
Well, that's very interesting.
-Yeah.-What is?
Hey.
Hi.
Hey, I thought you were headedto Seattle.
Yeah, this is my last stop.
I was up late last night
and I needed a littleenergy assistance.
So what's "very interesting?"
Mm.
[gulps]Nothing.
Yeah, nothing really.
No.
Guys?
Am I going to have to take youdown to the interrogation room?
Um. Okay, okay, look.
Um, Amy called last night, and, uh,
uh, she had dinnerwith this, um, this fella.
Tim Bishop.
Yeah. I heard aboutthis genius yesterday.
Genius. Amy said that?
No, no. Somebody else.
Thanks, Holly.
Sure. Take care, guys.
I think genius is a reach.
So you're not a fan?
[laughs]
No. No.
No, I mean, look, let mejust say that I wasn't exactly
heartbroken when he and Amysplit up, but...
he's a veryself-involved guy.
He's... he's charming though, he's charming.
Yeah.
But I mean, you know she's...
she's grown up, and I shouldstop worrying, right?
Yeah. Yeah.
Yeah.
All right.
Well, uh, okay then.
Yeah.
I'll see you when youget back.
Okay. All right.
All right.
I... I can drive.
What?
Yeah.
You can drive to Seattle?
I mean, you just said yourself, you barely slept.
It's not safe.
I don't have any active casesright now,
I can... I could drive.
Huh.
Nah. Yeah, you're right.
It's a crazy idea.
All right.
I'll see you whenyou get back then.
No, no, no. Hang on, waita minute, wait a minute.
I'd love for you to come.
You know?
Yeah, you could, uh, you couldstay and see Amy's talk.
Yeah?
I mean if you... if you've gota couple of days.
Do I? Hey, I've gotvacation time.
If I don't use it, I lose it.
Great. Great.
Got one question for you, though.
What's that?
You, uh, you got a tux?
Heh.

Nice fish.
So hey, can I get thisthing projected
so we can check videoand audio quality?

I'm so sorry.
And can we kill the lights?
(Female Voice) Crime.
It's everywhere.
And no matter how muchwe fight it,
it seems like it will nevergo away.
What if we could harnessthe power of computers
to help solve crimes faster?
What if we could use technology
to help eliminatecrime altogether?
What if we could make our citiesand towns safe once again?
McHale Tech is proud to announcea software-based solution
to one of society'soldest problems.
A revolution in fighting crime.
Introducing S.L.O.O.T.Hfrom McHale Tech.

It's a fancy name that meansone simple thing.

I'm going to wanta pin spot on me.
Right here.
And fog would be nice.
Can we do fog?
We can do fog.
Perfect.
So, thoughts on the film?
Fantastic.
Incredible.
Yeah, powerful.
What about you, professor?
Honestly, frightening.

What if he does, soon enoughit won't matter.
[loud gasp]
[whispering]Bishop, don't do that!
Sorry.
Where'd they go?
Who?
Billy and Alexis.
They were just right here, practically lip-locked.
You remember that dinnerwe spied on last night?
Mmhmm.
Well, I can tell you theyare definitely not
just a couple of coworkers.
Come on.
Oh.
Well, they're gone.
Again, sorry, I startled you.
You didn't startle me.
Uh, you got a little bit scared, just a little.
No.
-Tim. -Vicky, hey.
This is Amy Winslow.
Uh, Vicky Lin.
Hi.
I recognize you fromthe brochure.
I'm coming to your talk.
I'm a bit of a crimefiction nut.
I've read every Atticus Kellerbook, a couple of times.
Well, I'll have to tellmy father.
Are you doing a talk as well?
Oh, no, no.
I couldn't handle the pressure.
Vicky handles pressure daily.
She runs the biggestventure capital firm in town.
Wow.
You just missed Mitchell.
Oh.
You know Mitchell McHale?
I've certainly... experienced him.
Oh.
[laughs]
Well, that's a good wordfor it.
Vicky's interested inS.L.O.O.T.H as an investment.
Possibly.
Do you know about thisS.L.O.O.T.H?
I saw the promotional filmfor it, yeah.
And?
I mean, I have to be honest, I'm no computer expert.
But I do know that beinga detective
is all about interpretingcomplex human behaviours.
I don't know, I just feel likethe smartest machine
will never be human.
Well-reasoned.
I'm looking even more forwardto your talk.
Take care.
Nice to meet you.
You too.
Well.
Should we get backto rehearsing?
Yes, we should.

This is a big surprise.
Yeah, for me too.
Ugh.
I guess you can tell that mydad's not really fond of Tim.
Yeah.
I can't imagine why.
Okay.
All set.
Speak of the devil, that's Mitchell now.
Mitchell, where's Alexis?
No idea.
Hey.

Too bad for them.

Here you go, Winslow.
Thank you.
Look at that.
You think Mitchell knows aboutBilly and Alexis?
Mmhmm.
Think Vicky told them?
No, I think he already knew.
Please...
I think the Vicky thingis totally different.
Having fun, Mitchell?
I look like I'm having fun?
I need some air.
I'll walk you.
I want to bend your earabout something.
See you in a bit.
Yeah.
Let's get out of here.
So, my father, Graham Winslow, he actually created the class,
uh, but now I teach, um, mys...
Uh, would you excuse mejust for one second?
Thank you.
Ah, there she is.
Dapper!
You look lovely too.
You look great.
Thanks.
Well, this is quite an eventthat Tim's put together.
Yeah. Yeah, he has.
My ears are burning.
Just saying how impressivethis all is.
Thanks, Graham.
Though not as impressiveas your attire, I must say.
Tim Bishop?
That's me.
Hi. Rachel.
Knox!
Wha?
Burke?
What?

What are you doing here?
All right, uh, Amy Winslow, this is her dad, Graham.
Amy's giving a talk...
Rachel Knox.
Rachel and I were in the academytogether in Chicago.
We were both rookiesuntil she became a detective
a whole year before me.

Unfortunately, business.
I need to speak to youand anyone here

Is everything all right?
Mitchell McHale is dead.

[police radio chatter]
Alexis, I... I know you'rein a bit of shock right now,
but I need you to tryand remember
when you last saw him.
Woah. Woah, okay, woah, okay! A little help here!
It's okay. It's okay. It's okay.
Here, take her over there...
Knox. Hey.
Hey.
So, did he jump?
Or was he pushed?
Not sure yet.
Any witnesses?
We're canvassing, butit's not residential,
so I'm less than optimistic.
Oh.
Who...
Prep cook taking outthe trash found him.
Anyway, I better... get back to it.
Alright. See ya.
Huh, that's weird.
I mean, I just met McHale today, but...
He didn't strike meas the suicidal type.
Based on first impressions, I agree.
And then his wife fainting?
Yeah, that's pretty typical.
Or it's a good way to avoidtalking to a detective.
I think that she's havingan affair
with the guy inthe burgundy suit.
And he is?
That's Billy Poole, COO of McHale Tech,
and Mitchell's so-calledbest friend.
How do you know they're havingan affair?
Body language.
And I also overheard themtalking about how
"he" knew something, and I thinkthe "he" is McHale,
and the somethingis the affair.
Well, I think we need to tellthat to Knox.
Who else knows about this?
Other than Tim Bishop, uh, just Travis and my dad.
Yeah.
Did Tim not tell youabout it?
Miss Winslow, I...
Oh, you can call me Amy.
Amy.
As much as I appreciatewhat you've shared with me,
I... I do hope thatyou can appreciate
this is a police investigation?
Oh, yeah.
Completely.
Yeah. I just...
Rachel, Amy's a professor.
She's been a consultant forthe Garrison PD in the past.
Oh, like Sherlock?
Yes. Exactly.
Well, we don't do that here.
Take care.
Good to see you, Burke.
Yeah, yeah, you too, Knox.
Well, I guess we're notin Garrison anymore, Dorothy.
What?
You know, it's pretty obviousto me that Rachel trusts you.
Maybe you should tell hershe should trust me.
Thank you.
-Hi.-Hi.
How you doing?
Well, I think I might've sleptfor 90 minutes.
Oh.
I don't mean to sound callous,
but desperately trying toconvince speakers not to bail,
and dealing with peoplecancelling tickets.
Yeah.
Ugh.
Bishop, I am so sorry.
Well.
I mean, at least I'm alive.
Yeah.
This is so insane.
Did you get any informationfrom the police?
No.
I mean, they justasked questions.
I did all the talking.
Did you tell them aboutBilly and Alexis?
I didn't want to gossip.
Bishop, a man is dead.
Social propriety goes outthe window at this point.
Of course, no, you're right.
Yeah.
Hey. Amy.
Trevor.
Yeah, it's Travis.
I'm sorry.
Don't know why I do that.
I have a few theories.
[phone rings]
Sorry, I have to take this.
One of our speakers.
Yeah.
Bye.
Hey.
I want to talk to youabout last night and Rachel.
Oh, no, no, no.
I want to apologize.
I shouldn't have snappedat you.
Well, apology accepted.
I just want you to knowthat Rachel,
she's a good cop.
Okay.
Well, because you're a good cop,
and you haven't minded mebeing helpful.
Fair point.
Mmm.
Yeah.
Um, by the way.
Did you and Rachel, uh...
Were you... Uh...
Were we?
Do you want to finishyour sentence?
No, it's just that...
It felt like there was historywith you two.
Like more than just beingcop buddies.
Well yeah, I mean, Amy we were partners.
At work?
Yeah.
Oh.
And no.
And yeah.
I mean, listen.
Rachel and I might've hada chance to be more,
you know, but the timingnever worked out, so...
I get it, yeah.
Do you want to take a walkwith me?
You seem to have somewherein mind.
I definitely do.
The roof.
So, there's no security camerasin the stairwell.
Mm.
So even if McHale got offwhere we did,
another person could've comefrom the bottom floor
and walked allthe way up unseen?
Yeah.
Police tape.
You are a policeman.
In a different jurisdiction.
Uh, does it say Seattle MetroPD line here?
Huh.
No?
Professor Winslow, that is a good point.
Right.
Go ahead.
What do you see?
That's a fall, huh?
[whistles]
Yeah. That's a long way down.
So he was about your height, so just a push...
Yeah. A hard push could knocksomebody right over.
Yeah.
Or, he jumped.
Yeah, I don't know.
A millionaire who paidfor this round of talks
just to launch his new software?
-Hmm.-Seems unlikely.
Yeah.
Hey look.
So you remember Rachel saidthat the prep cook
was taking out the trashwhen he found the body?
Mmhmm.
Well look at the wayhe's going.
I mean, how would he have seenthe body from that angle?
That's a good question.
Do you think that'sthe same guy?
Let's find out.
Is that our guy?
Yeah, I think so.
Hi.
Uh... I'm Amy Winslow, and thisis Detective Travis Burke.
Hi.
Guillermo Marquez.
Hi, Guillermo.
Uh, hi.
Do you know what happenedhere last night?
Are you the one that foundthe body?
Yeah.
Are you a cop too?
Uh, well, I'm a consultant.
Right. Yeah.
But he's a detective. He has a badge, see?
-Yeah. See?-Right there.
I talked to the cops last night.
We're just following upto clarify how it is
that you noticed the body onthe far side of the dumpster?
The phone.
(Both) What phone?
I heard a cell phone ringing, went to it.
Was his phone on his person?
Twenty feet away, maybe.
But then, then I saw him.
Right, yeah.
Must've been hard for you.
Did you happen to notice
a readout on the screenof the phone? A name?
Sorry.
Do you know what time it was?
Around 8:15, I think.
What did you do next?
I freaked out.
I came in, went to my boss.
He locked the kitchen down, called 911.
Yeah.
Thank you, Guillermo.
Thanks.
Okay. So you arrivedwith my dad at 7:45.
Mmhmm.
That's when I met your pal, Bishop.
You also met McHale.
And then we left for the partyat 7:50.
That sounds right.
All right, now I hadn't beenat the party very long
when I saw Vicky and McHalehave this heated conversation.
And then he goesover to Billy and Alexis,
and says something.
And then he walks our way.
Our way?
No.
Me and Tim.
Oh.
And did he say anythingto you?
Uh, no.
Just that he wantedto get some air.
Maybe to the roof.
Maybe.
Tim went with him.
What?!
Amy.
What?
And you're just nowtelling me this?
There's nothing to tell.
I mean, it's...
Bishop, right. And when didBishop return to the party?
Well, I mean, I didn't see him
until after youand my dad arrived.
I'm sure that he was...
You know.
What are you doing?
I went up to my room.
I took a quick shower.
I changed.
I got on the phone at 8:14,I talked to Claire,
I checked in with herat exactly five minutes,
your dad knocks on my door, we come back downstairs,
so we're back at the partyat what?
8:25.
All right.
Did you happen to seeVicky, Alexis, or Billy
after McHale left?
No. But I wasdefinitely looking.
Okay. While you werelooking for them,
did you happen to seeyour friend, Tim Bishop?
Hey, guys.
Hey.
What's up?
We're just talking abouthow her friend, Tim Bishop,
could be a murder suspect.
Well, it strikes methat all four people,
Vicky, Tim, Alexis, Billy, allfour of 'em should be talked to.
But isn't that whatyour detective friend
was doing last night?
Absolutely.
Mmhmm.
What?
So... Do you not trust her?
Well, that's a good question.
I mean, should we trust her?
I trust her more thanl trust your friend, Bishop.
[laughs]Ah, come on. Are you serious?
I mean, what motivewould Tim have to kill a guy
who's backing his event?
That is a great question thatwe should talk to him about.
Well, why don't weget Rachel involved,
since we all trust herso much?
Why are you afraid of metalking to your friend
and asking him some questions?
I'm not afraid of you talkingto my friend.
-You're not afraid?-No.
Good, great, call him up. Let's ask him right now.
Fine. Fine.
Mmhmm.
Fine.
I just want you to knowthat he's probably notgoing to answer,
because, you know, he's busy
doing damage controland all that...
Hello?
Hey.
Amy.
Yeah.
I just need to talk to you.
Sure. Sure.
I'll be right up.
Okay, thanks. Bye.
Not too busy for Amy. Shall we?
I would love to. Get this over with.
Excuse me.
Yeah, of course. Yeah. Yeah, oh...
[knocking at door]
Hey, Amy.
Hey.
Hey, it's me.
Trevor.
Hi, Travis.
There it is.
Tim, Travis and I werejust talking about
last night, and...
You left the party last nightwith McHale.
Where did you go?
Hang on.
Excuse me.
Would you mind just givingus a moment?
Thank you.
Sorry folks.
Thank you so much.
Um... Amy?
You think I had somethingto do with Mitchell's...
with what happened?
No, Tim, listen.
We're just trying to get... the complete picture, you know.
Of the whole night. Everything that happened.
That's all.
Okay, sure.
Of course.
Well, as I told your friend, the Seattle detective.
I walked Mitchellto the elevator,
he asked me not to take itwith him.
All right.
And then what happened next?
I turned around and Vicky waswalking toward the elevators.
Vicky Lin?
Mm.
She was clearly upset, but she didn't want to talk.
I got on the elevatorwith her anyway.
I pressed.
She told me she'd gottenher hands on
the beta versionof S.L.O.O.T.H.
Had her R&D peoplework it over.
And?
She told me it was...
A hoax.
Couldn't do what Mitchellsaid it did.
Solve crimes.
So is this the last timethat she and Mitchell spoke
before he left?
So she said.
How long did you talk to her?
We got off on her floor,
I walked her to her room, so however long that took.
And then what happened next?
I'm on the board of McHale Tech.
I wanted to talk to Mitchellabout this very concerning news.
I called him.
From Vicky's phone?
No.
The hallway.
He didn't answer.
I went to the suite downthe hall that
we have for McHale Tech,
I thought that'swhere he might be.
He wasn't.
I waited a whilefor him to show up,
then I went backto the party.
Hmm.
End of story.
Now, I have to get backto work.
Thanks Tim.
Um, Tim, listen. I...
Excuse me.
I feel horrible.
Oh, come on, Amy. You know how it goes.
We asked questions, he answered 'em.
Plus, he still doesn'thave a good alibi.
But. We did learn that McHalewas in a lot more trouble
than you projected.
Yeah.
Right.
And if news were to get outthat his software was a sham?
Maybe he wasn't pushed.
Right.
And we have a new question.
Who leaked that softwareto Vicky?
Okay. So who did McHale talk toafter Vicky?
Billy and Alexis.
I'm going to see if Clairecan get their addresses.
[crunches apple]
(Amy) Tim said Mitchell hada pricey new electric car...
Huh, look what'sparked out front.
Well, that's interesting.
Either Billy borrowedMcHale's car or Alexis is here.
[doorbell]
Hey, Billy.
Sorry for your loss.
Um, thanks.
Um, I'm in the middle of some...
Just wanted to chatwith you for a minute.
Um...
With... with youand, uh, Alexis?
Yeah, we just want to clear upa few things
about the S.L.O.O.T.H software, then you two can... move on.
It's okay, Billy.
Thank you.
So, it's come to our attentionthat the software
that was supposed to put me outof business might actually
put McHale Tech out of business, because it's a sham.
Who told you that?
Is it the truth?
S.L.O.O.T.H isbeing beta-tested.
As with any new application, there are bugs to be worked out.
Yeah, see?
That's not whatVicky Lin says.
See, she confrontedMitchell last night.
And then Mitchell confrontedthe two of you.
No.
Don't deny it, I saw it.
He thought that you two leakedthe software.
This is ridiculous.
Why would we leak software?
That would hurt McHale Tech.
It's our company too.
How much do you care aboutyour company then?
I mean, because I sawthe two of you out to dinner
the other night, and then therewas backstage.
You're in love, and Mitchell knew.
I...
We, we should...
Billy. Why don't you answerher question?
Where did you go after Mitchellconfronted you?
I told the police last night.
Tell me.
[doorbell]
Excuse me.
Hi, Billy.
Hey.
Your colleagues are here.
Burke?
I'm calling my lawyer.
Detective.
A word.
Bring your "partner."
Me?
So, I'm bringing this guy infor questioning,
and now he's a hostile witness?
What did you say to himthat he's lawyering up...
Knox.
No. Don't "Knox" me.
What did you say?
Detective, this was my idea.
It's Lieutenant.
And, is that supposedto make me feel better?
Look, I am running a murderinvestigation here.
And yes, that iswhat we are calling it.
No note, no motivefor suicide.
Well, except that...
Except what?
Well, except thatMcHale's software
isn't exactly whathe said it was.
So that could be a huge blowto his...
Do you mean the software
that my police departmentis considering licensing?
Or maybe you didn't know that.
No, we knew that.
Just like you didn't knowthat the phone was missing
from the scene?
The phone that Guillermoheard ringing?
You spoke to the witness, too?
Okay.
Listen up, Sherlock.
You too, Doctor Watson.
You have no jurisdiction here,
and you need to leave itto the people that do.
Hey, Rachel.
No, we are done.
[sighs]
You know what, Ijust have to say this.
I am sorry that I pushed you.
Amy, I knew what I was doing, and I did it.
You know how in the past,
when I told you to mind your ownbusiness, let me do my job?
Mmhmm.
Well, now I know whyyou didn't like it.
I'm sorry.
Thank you.
So, what now?
Well, now we dowhat we should've done
after we talked to Tim.
We go and we talkto Vicky Lin,
we confirm his story with her.
Mmhmm.
That is, if she'll talk to us.
I think I have a way to makethat happen.
Hmm.
Ms. Winslow is hereto see you.
Ah.
Hi Vicky. Thank you for seeingus on such short notice.
Hi.
This is Detective Travis Burke.
Hi.
Hello.
And this is my dad.
Graham Winslow. Vicky Lin.
Nice to meet you.
Please have a seat.
-Thanks.-Thank you.
Vicky, I hear that you're fondof Atticus Keller, so a...
a first edition.
Happy to sign it.
[laughs]
Seriously?
Yeah.
-You got a pen?-Oh, here.
Great.
So, what is the quid that goesalong with this pro quo?
Well, honestly, we were justhoping we could ask you
some questions about last night.
Huh.
So awful.
Yeah.
Before McHale left the party,
you two had an exchangethat looked a bit heated.
What was that about?
I told him I was backing awayfrom S.L.O.O.T.H.
Because?
It's... well, accordingto my R&D team,
it's trash.
And what did you doafter this exchange?
I had a room booked atthe hotel.,
and I went thereto make some calls.
Do you think it's possible thatMitchell McHale killed himself
because of the softwaresituation?
You obviously didn't knowMitch McHale.
He told me he was gettinga new lawyer,
and that he'd have that lawyersue me for theft of software.
Hmm.
What happenedto the old lawyer?
No idea.
Can you think of anybody elsewho'd want to kill Mitch McHale?
Mitch McHale wasa cockroach.
Who doesn't want to stepon one of those?
That's a great line.
Do you mind if I, uh, you mindif I use that?
I'd be honoured.
Hmm, well, thanksfor doing that, Dad.
Oh, honey, thanksfor including me.
I'm not sure howhelpful that was.
No, no.
Sometimes it's good to justconfirm existing information.
Right.
Though I do think you did learnsomething new.
Yeah, that McHale was gettinga new lawyer.
Exactly.
And for someone who thinksall day about word choice,
that struck me as odd.
I mean, why even bring that upto Vicky?
Yeah, that's a good question.
You know, there are two peoplethat we could get an answer
to that from.
Rachel and Tim?
Yeah.
Hmm, yeah.
I don't think they really wantto talk to us.
Well, we leadwith an apology.
Might I suggest if you wantto get the most out of them,
you go to Rachel, you go to Tim.
Good idea.
Yeah.
You're on a roll, Graham.
Yeah, thanks, thanks.
Good luck, guys.
Hey, where you goin'?
I'm going back to the hotel
to hear a Teachable Talk called "What makes a psychopath."
It's, uh, researchfor my next book.
Okay, all right, bye.
Bye.
Alright, good luck.
Yeah. Hey Amy.
Uh... can you drop me, it's kinda far?
Oh, yes, of course.
-Yeah, I drove.-You drove.
Come on.
[knocking at door]
Mea culpa.
[knocking at door]
I wanted to apologize.
You're forgiven.
No worries.
Please.
[sighs]
I mean, it's just weird, beingthis close to a crime with you,
and not being included.
I didn't tell you this, but I've been helping Travis
and the Garrison PDon a few cases.
Believe it or not, Amy hashelped me out with a few cases.
Wow.
Really?
What kind of cases?
Murders.
Homicides.
Oh.
That's something.
So, when this suspiciousdeath happened...
She just wants to help.
Which she did, by coming to me.
Billy Poole is now suspectnumber one.
To be honest with you,
Travis has had to protect mein a couple of bad situations.
So... I'm sure that impulseof his just kicked in.
Sure.
I get it.
And I think that she waspushing with you,
because that's what she's usedto doing with me.
And that doesn't bother you?
Oh, it does.
Believe me.
You guys definitely seem to havea... strong connection.
That's not always the case.
I mean, I swear I spend90 percent of my time
just trying to get himto listen to me.
For instance, he didn'tbelieve you about Vicky,
so he insistedwe go talk to her.
She can be relentless.
For example, she wanted usto talk to Vicky Lin
about the S.L.O.O.T.H software.
Seriously?
You're kidding.
No, I'm not.
Seriously.
Well, I'm sure Vicky confirmedwhat I said.
She did.
And the reason I wantedto talk to you
is because Vicky did say thatMcHale threatened to sue her.
But he told her he hada new lawyer.
And I asked her what happenedto the old lawyer.
And... she didn't know.
Well, his old lawyeris Ray Sweeney.
Ray Sweeney is known fordefending very rich dirtbags.
Do you know this Ray Sweeney?
Not well, but... Yeah, I knew him.
Knew as in past-tense?
Ray Sweeney's home was brokeninto a few days ago.
And I guess he was homeat the time.
The thief shot him.
Ray Sweeney is dead.

Oh.
Remember whatMiss Marple said?
No, I haven't readAgatha Christie yet.
Remind me.
Well, she said "any coincidenceis worth noticing,
"because you can throwit away later if it'sonly a coincidence."
Yeah, well, it's a prettybig coincidence.
Sweeney and McHalebeing murdered
within days of each other?
So much so that I asked Rachelif we could see
the Sweeney crimescene tomorrow.
We?
As in you and also me?
Yeah.
I laid it on pretty thick,
how you've been helpfulat Garrison PD.
What are you talking about?
I have been helpfulto the Garrison PD.
I know.
So you weren't laying iton thick.
Amy, that's not the point.
The point is, Rachel trusted me,
and tomorrow the detectivewho's working the case
is going to show usthe crime scene,
and he's going to give us accessto the reports.
Hmm. Well.
Good job.
Thanks.
Thank you. Yeah.
Woah, woah, woah, woah, woah, woah.
What else did she say?
Just that Billy Poole is suspectnumber one,
and she extends her gratitudeto you
for tipping her offabout the affair.
Good.
How about Tim?
Did he forgive youfor my trespasses?
Yes.
And I'm assuming that Rachelis not holding you accountable
for me anymore?
Un-huh.
The lesson there, it helps tohave somebody else to blame.
I guess we're eachother's fall guys.
[laughs]
Hey, did you press Tim onhis shaky alibi for last night?
I could not finda delicate way in, so...
-I guess he's still up on the board. -He's on the board.
Yeah.
Rumour has it...
There is a fantasticVietnamese restaurant
just right up the block.
Would you... would you liketo go to dinner with me?
I have to rehearse my talk.
I was just going to ordersome room service.
Of course.
Goodnight, Professor Winslow.
Goodnight, Detective Burke.
[laughs]
See you tomorrow.
Hey, uh.
You know what, Travis?

No worries.
Hi.
Detective Denny Roma, thisis Detective Travis Burke,
and this is, uh...
Non-detective Amy Winslow.
Yeah.
Denny's going to show youthe Sweeney scene.
It's his case.
Which is getting colderby the day,
which the Lieutenant knowsis something I can live with.
Why?
Ray Sweeney was a defenceattorney.
He got a lot of bad guys offand made some cops
on the witness standlook lousy in the process.
The Lucky Irishman is what he'sknown as in the DA's office.
Yeah.
So Denny, you goodto run with them?
You know it, Lieutenant.
Hey, and if you do find aconnection to the McHale case...
We'll bring it to you.

So, you, uh, you knewthe Lieutenant
back in the Windy City, huh?
Yeah, we were rookies together.
She's a tough woman.
You know that thingwith her old man...
You mean what, him dyin'?
Yeah.
You know, how he went out.
Did it himself.
Suicide?
I didn't... I didn't know that.
Yeah, she was thinking aboutresigning, too.
Going back to Chicago.
I guess he was in somekind of trouble.
And then he wasn't.
Here's your guidebookfor the tour.
Did the killer disablethe alarm?
We think Sweeney did.
Comes home, shuts it off, doesn't turn it back on.
What about the, uh, the cameraat the front door?
Did that see anything?
Just Sweeney coming home.
Who found the body?
Cleaning lady, Monday afternoon.
This way.
Sliding door was left open, andthe perp came in through there.
What's behind this?
Dirt road?
Woods?
What if the killer camethrough here?
Well, you know.
What if?
Or maybe he parked out frontand came around like we did.
♪
Did you check this out?
Yeah, it's padlocked.
Sweeney didn't havea key for it.
It's not on hisproperty anyway.
There's an oil stain here.
It's pretty fresh.
Still wet.
Your perp parkedback here.
Noted.
Can we continue?
Now this is where we foundthe body.
I see that there are a lotof papers spread out,
which means he was working, right?
But here's what I don'tunderstand,
it's why would a thief comein when the resident is home?
Well, the lights were offwhen we came in.
So he was workingin the dark?
Something's not makingsense to me, Denny.
Why... why would the killer cometo this angle,
where Sweeney could see them?
It's obvious the shooterhad a solution
for being identified.
"Bang bang."
They also took his wristwatch, his wallet, and his cell phone.
Yeah.
And your report says, "computer and a safe"?
Yeah.
This way.
Hmm.
Well, here it is.
Maid said there was a small safein that closet.
The police turned this placeupside down?
No, that was the perp.
Unless of course Sweeney'sa slob.
Travis.
What's that?
What is it?
(Both) Nothing.
It's just... Multnomah Falls.
I was just telling Amy how muchl'd like to visit there one day.
Oh.
Sweet.
Are we done?
Yeah.
Thank you for the tour, Denny.
Hey, do you mind if I hold ontothis and read through it again?
Lieutenant said give youwhat you need.

You don't trust him.
Bingo.
Yeah.
[music heightens] ♪
Excuse me.
You can't just...
What is going on?
Ray Sweeney.
[sighs]
It's all right, Madeline.
Go on.
You told us that McHale hireda new lawyer to sue you,
but did you think to mentionthat his old lawyer
was a guy that you clearly knewwell enough
that he had a framed photographof the two of you
standing in frontof Multnomah Falls?
A guy who was murderedtwo days before McHale?
I had no idea.
Ray had been working with Mitch.
Okay, and we're just supposedto believe that?
It's the truth.
What was your relationshipwith Ray?
We dated for a couple of months, but it ended.
When?
Four months ago.
Who ended it?
I did.
Because?
Because he'd become intolerable.
Okay, could you fill usin on that?
Ray was... incrediblysuccessful.
He bragged all the time abouthow he never lost a case.
And then he did.
And suddenly, he couldn't stoplosing them.
He became miserable.
I stuck it out for a few months,
but eventually enoughwas enough.
Hmm. Have you seen him since?
No.
But he did call Saturday.
Said he had turnedthings around,
he was going to startwinning again.
Did he explain further?
No.
And to be honest,
I didn't believe him, and I'd moved on.
Did you know he was dead?
Botched robbery, yes?
So we're told.
Thank you.
Thanks for your time.
Sorry to barge in on you, Vicky.
She had an answerfor everything, didn't she?
Well, smart criminals do, and she's certainly smart.
Yeah, but the question is, is she a criminal?
Although, she didn't seem thatbroken up about Ray's murder.
Yeah.
You know, we should take thisto Rachel.
Yeah, yeah. Of course.
But you know, just, I don't know,
just let me do the talking.
That would be wise.
And we thought this is justone more thing
that's tying the McHale caseto Ray Sweeney.
Yeah.
You know and we thoughtthat you should definitely
keep digginginto that connection.
Like Detective Roma said, Sweeney was known as
the Lucky Irishman becausecases always broke his way.
A witness would recant, evidence would get compromised,
paperwork invalidated.
So some people, me, started towonder if this wasn't just luck.
As if he had helpfrom the inside.
Did you look into it?
I did.
And?
And before I found anything, Sweeney started to lose.
This was six months ago.
Right.
So I thought maybehe was just lucky.
Until he wasn't.
Right.
Well.
Hey, did you look overthe crime scene report
for the robbery-homicideof Sweeney?
Um... I haven't really hadthe chance.
Why?
Well, look. It's pretty clearthat the intruder entered
while Sweeney was working,
which would meanthat the lights were on.
Right, and then the person hadto go around the couch
to be seen by Sweeney, just to shoot him?
I mean, if this wasjust a thief,
why go through all that?
Why not just come back?
I mean, that doesn't... doesn't make any sense.
And then they ransackedthe office,
and we don't really know whatpaperwork might've been taken.
But what was stolen, other thana watch and a wallet,
was his cell phone, his computer, and his safe.
All things that containinformation.
So you think this is some kindof a hit?
I think the evidence tellsthat story, yeah.
[chuckles]Told you.
What is it you teach again?
Literature, with a focuson crime fiction.
Sounds fun.
Yeah. It is.
And your assessmentsounds correct.
Did you mention thisto Detective Roma?
Yeah, we did, but...
He didn't seemthat interested.
I'll talk to him.
All right.
Have you made any headwayon the McHale case?
We have a warrant for Alexis andBilly's phones and computers,
but it'll take some timeto go through.
Yeah, well you might want to dothe same thing with Vicky Lin.
Definitely.
Thank you.
Yeah.
Both of you.
You're welcome.
All right.

Thanks.
We'll see you.
Hey, you want to go overthe Sweeney case book
without him lookingover our shoulder?
Well, don't you need to rehearseyour talk?
Oh, my talk's fine.
Alright, let's go.
Yeah?
Yeah.
Coroner says that the timeof death was 10:30 PM.
And apparently he talkedto his assistant at 10:20.
Do we know what theytalked about?
Privileged information, she said.
Ahh.
Hmm.
You wouldn't happen to havea magnifying glass, would you?

You kidding?
What?
You always wear one aroundyour neck.
[laughs] I didn't packit this time.
Uh, maybe I can use the zoomon my phone.
I just, uh... I wantto try to find out
what Sweeney was working on.
It's just kind of hard to see.
Oh wow.
What are you looking at?
Bingo.
Divorce petition, wow.
Mmhmm.
So we need to find outif there was a prenup.
And if there was, and he signedthose papers,
Alexis could've lost a lotof money in that divorce.
And if Alexis wentto talk to him, right,
she finds out about it,
she goes to talk to Sweeney, and he doesn't back down?
She kills him.
Or Billy could've killed her.
You know, there's 24 hours'worth of footage
from the front doorsecurity camera.
Where?
It's filed with physicalevidence.
Well, can we see it?
I'm gonna call Roma.

Okay, can we go now?
-Yeah.-Awesome.
Okay.

Let's slow it down.
Huh.
Looks like Roma was right aboutthe killer not coming in
from the front.
Hang on.
What?
What is that?
Is that a car?
Yeah, yeah, it's definitelya car.
Can you tell what model?
It looks like Mitch McHale'sride.
At 10:28, just before the timeof death.
I mean, we do know that Alexishas keys to that car.
Yeah.
It could be a coincidence.
Well, we know what Miss Marplesays about coincidence.
Mmhmm.
Let's see if our guyturns around.
Mmm. Wait a minute, where did it go?
That road ends in a cul-de-sac.
I have an idea.
Come on.
You were right, the dirt roadconnects to the cul-de-sac,
which means McHale drivingback this way makes sense.
-Right.-Yeah.
And... an oil stain.
You don't get that froman electric motor.
Mm-mm.
So, that means it wassomeone else.
You break into that house, you shoot a guy,
you ransack that office, thattakes what, 15 minutes at most?
Yeah.
But to leave an oil stainthis big,
you have to have your carparked longer than that.
So I think that our killerwas waiting for Ray Sweeney
to return home,
which would prove that thiswasn't a robbery gone wrong.
Yeah.
What?
-Hey, Travis?-Yeah.

Nothing special.
It was like, four-door sedan.
Did you... happen to hearany shots fired?
Yeah.
And did you happen to see
another car pull upthat same night?
Yeah, so it was, uh, it was parked here
right before the shots.
And would you call the carthat was parked here "special"
in any way?
Like, did it look like this?
Wow, wizard skills, yeah!
Did you get a good lookat the guy's face?
Um, no.
Not at first, you know.
It was dark and I was headingback to the HQ.
Um, the shed.
Yeah, so I was sort ofhiding over there,
right after the shots.
Then the guy in the cool cargets out,
checks out the boring car, uh, cool car guy had a flashlight,
but then he just goes back tohis ride and sits in the dark.
And you stayed?
Yeah.
I was kind of frozen.
Then maybe like 10,15 minutes later,
another guy comesthrough the gate,
and then he puts somethingin the trunk of the sedan
and drives off.
A guy. The driver was a man?
I... I mean, I think.
They were wearing pants, I... I don't know.
Hmm.
And then what?
Cool guy flips his flashlightback on,
then he goes through the gate,
and then I go and checkout his ride,
but the guy comes backpretty quick
and I have to duckand hide behind his car.
And that's when yougot a look at him?
Yeah.
Here. Was it one of these guys?
Middle guy.
You're sure?
100 percent.
Well, thank you.
You have been morethan helpful.
Do you live around here, your mom or your dad?
Yeah. We're justa few blocks away.
You want to hop in the carand we'll give you a ride home?
[sighs]
Boring four-door sedan, huh?
Yeah, you know who drivesa car like that?
Yep.
Police detective.
Hmm.
♪
Excuse me.
Hi.
My name is Detective Burke, I'm from Garrison PD.
Is Lieutenant Knox in?
Give me a minute.
Thanks.
Hey, Travis.
Hey, what's up?
Come here.
Detective Dennis Roma brokeboth legs falling down
a flight of stairs but stillmanaged to catch the culprit.
When did Sweeneystart losing cases?
Uh, six months ago.
Detective?
Yeah.
Uh, Lieutenant Knoxis gone for the day.
Okay. Hey, listen.
I got a... I gota question for you.
Uh, after Detective Romabroke both his legs,
when did he get backon the job?
Just two months ago.
Is he in?
Uh, he clocked out at 4:00.
Can I get his address?
I promised I'd get this backto him tonight.
We should hurry beforesomeone else gets killed.
Yeah.
[knocking at door]
Oh, hi.
Is everything okay?
Yeah, sorry for dropping by.
We just wanted to showyou something.
Oh, um, I'm actuallyjust running out.
Five minutes.
It's important.
Okay.
Come on in.
So what's up?
Well, we think we know
how the Sweeney and McHalemurders are connected.
Seriously?
Yeah.
Yeah, so, Ray Sweeney
was handling MitchellMcHale's divorce.
Um, see these files?
I took a picture of themand I zoomed in on it.
Now he had all the paperworkready for Mitchell to sign
the night that Sweeneywas murdered.
Now, what we also knowis that Mitchell's car
was there that night.
Okay, but there's morethan one of those.
Well here's the thing.
We have a witness.
Yeah.
And he saw McHale's car parkedbehind Sweeney's house,
and he identified MitchellMcHale as the driver.
Wait... What witness?
Yeah, we'll... we'll get to that.
But this witness also sawa four-door sedan parked
behind Sweeney's house.
The kind that a detectivewould drive.
And the driver of this sedanis the person that walked
into Ray Sweeney's house, just before 10:30,
and shot him dead.
Travis, that is a...
A serious accusation?
Yeah.
Yeah, well, we know.
That's why we wantedto talk to you.
You wanted to talk to meinstead of Denny Roma.
Well, I mean, you said that, uh, you suspected
that there was an inside man inthe police department, right?
Someone that was helping Sweeneywith his cases.
Well, ostensibly, that personwas doing this for money.
Roma.
But then six months ago, Sweeney started losing cases.
Roma must've stoppedhelping him,
I mean, probably becauseyou started looking into it.
Yeah, but here's the thing.
Sweeney, he told Vicky Linon Saturday
that he had a plan to startwinning again.
So my guess is is that, I don't know,
that Sweeney told Roma, you start helping me again,
or I'm going to tellyour department
what you've been doing.
Blackmail.
But Roma has a differentsolution.
Kill Ray Sweeney
[gunfire]
Stage it as a robbery.
Steal all the evidencethat tied him to Sweeney.
But here's what he couldn'thave known.
Mitchell McHale showed upto sign his divorce papers
just before the shotswere fired.
And so when Roma was loadingup his car and driving off,
Mitchell McHale was watchingfrom the dark.
And our witness saw McHaleenter the house after that,
so he knew that the cop thatjust left killed his lawyer.
Mmhmm.
Now what we all knowis that Mitchell McHale
had a software programfor the police departments.
Vicky Lin says it's a sham, but McHale told us that...
I should be closing a dealtonight for Seattle Metro PD
to license my S.L.O.O.T.Hsoftware.
I mean, you do the math.
McHale must've contacted Roma.
Told him he knew what he did.
Maybe even had photos of Romaputting Sweeney's stuff
in the trunk of his car.
McHale must've told Romathat he had to get S.L.O.O.T.H
into Seattle Metro, or else he'dblow the whistle on him.
Roma must've arranged for themto meet on the rooftop.
Where there are no cameras.
So the cop commits a secondmurder to cover up the first.
Um... I'm... I'm just... I'm stunned.
I... I need to talk to Roma.
I've known him for years, I...
It needs to be methat brings him in.
Yeah.
Yeah, see, we thoughtyou would say that.
[sighs]
You were running out to seeRoma when we got here,
weren't you?
Excuse me?
Rachel, we just camefrom Roma's.
You going somewhere, Detective?
Yeah, why?
We need to talk, now.
He told us that you called himto set up a meeting.
And we're the onesthat told him to call you
and push that meeting.
Okay, I... I don't knowwhat you're...
Rachel...
Roma can't bethe inside man.
No, he was on leavefor a year.
He just got back on the jobtwo months ago.
But the inside man was workingfor Sweeney
up until six months ago.
Six months.
Six months, that kept rattlingaround in my head,
and then I figured it out.
Something else happenedsix months ago.
Your dad died.
Yeah.
Money was always an issue,
and finally he openedhis own shop.
And he lost it.
And she lost him.
Yeah.
How he went out.
Did it himself.
Suicide.
I didn't... I didn't know that.
She was talking aboutresigning, too.
Moving back to Chicago.
I guess he was in some kindof trouble,
and then he wasn't.
And so I called our old friend, Captain Lowe in Chicago,
and he told me that he lookedinto your dad's suicide,
and he said that your dadstarted his bake shop
with a loan from the mob, and as the years went by,
that debt, it got bigger,
and Rachel I know how muchyou loved your father.
But what I didn't know wasthat you would be willing
to do anythingto help him out,
including selling yourself outto a crooked lawyer for money.
But that wasn't enough, was it?
So your dad did what he did,
and then there was no needfor you to resign anymore.
You know, it was all over, it was all behind you.
But then Sweeney came and... andthreatened to blackmail you,
but you solved enough crimesto know how to commit one.
[gunshots]
Robbery gone wrong, victim nobody cared about.
The case would soon grow cold, it was perfect.
I mean, McHale threw a littlewrench in there,
but you handled that.
And then I handed Billy Pooleto you on a silver platter.
But when we startedto connect the murders,
you knew that you had to shiftfrom the framing Billy angle,
and you waited to seehow far we got,
and then you had to make Romayour fall guy.
You were meeting with Romatonight to close the loop.
And what was your storygoing to be, Rachel?
Huh?
That you went there and triedto convince Roma
to turn himself in, but insteadhe tried to kill you,
so you did whatyou had to do?
He's a cop.
I mean, of course you wouldn'tcall in the shooting
until after you loadedeverything that you stole
from Sweeney's house
and Mitchell's cell phoneinto the trunk of Roma's car.
It's all in the trunk of yourcar ready to go, isn't it?
[sighs]
Tell you what, Rachel?
Why don't we just go outand take a look?
Rachel.
Come on.
If you're innocent, I'll tellyou how sorry I am.
[sobs]
I just...
You know, you... you do...
you do one thing and you justdon't, you don't think.
I mean, it's not like I had thisbig master plan, I just...
That first case with Sweeney.
His client was innocent.
I was trying to dosomething good.
You got paid to do it.
Yes, but to help my dad.
After everything he'd done, I just...
I just wanted to keephis dream alive.
You killed two people, Rachel.
Two terrible people.
No. No.
We don't get to decide who livesand who dies.
I'm so sorry, Travis.
I ruined everything.
[car door slams]
Thanks for everything, and for saving my life.
And I trusted her.
You take care, Denny.
Thank you.
-Bye-bye.-Thank you.
You know, I knowhow he feels.
I know I haven't seen herin years,
but there was a time when, you know,
we trusted each otherwith our lives.
Yeah.
You know, Bud's lecturefor class this week
was all about trust.
The original definitionmeans "alliance."
Well, Amy.
I'm glad that you're my ally.
Likewise.
I'm tired.
[sighs]Yeah, me too.
And yet I still have a teachabletalk to rehearse for tomorrow.
Hmm.
(Both) Ouch.
And so, why are mysteries one ofthe most popular forms
of fiction in the whole entirehistory of the world?
Why?
Well, if you push asidethe tropes and the suspects
and the settings, you're leftwith an answer that is,
well, what Holmes might say is "elementary," my dear.
[laughs]
Uh, mystery novels are reallyjust an expression
of what might just beour greatest human quality.
Our curiosity.
Our passion to discover.
Our desire to know, and toanswer not only "whodunnit,"
but also who we are.
Thank you.
[cheering and applause]
[laughs]
Thank you!
Did you see everybody?
Bud, Holly and Claire?
Hey, how do you thinkthey got here?
You, come here.
Thank you!
Aww.
See, you can be thoughtful.
Yeah, well, I have my moments.
You do.
So, how was I?
Amy.
Was it okay?
You were fantastic.
Yeah?
Yes.
[laughs]
Okay.
Hey, you want to go home?
Hey. Hey, hey.
Hey! Hey! Hey!
Hey!

Oh!
