You get a spot right up front,
all right?

Thanks.

Okay, everyone.

If I could have your attention.

All right.

Detective Grizz
is just wrapping up a case.

He should be here any
minute now, all right?

Aw. Okay?

All right, thanks so much.

Just give me one second, please.
Excuse me.

Joe, what the hell are you...

Aw, come on, man.

There are kids here.

What, man? I'm hydrating, okay?

It's like a frigging sauna
in this thing.

Put the head back on and get out there.

Isn't there some other type
of community service I could do?

Sorry, pal, you drew the short stick.

You're Detective Grizz
for a whole month.

I hate Detective Grizz.

The suit is really itchy
and it smells. Bad.

You should have thought of that
before you got a DUI.

Now come on, let's go.

All right, give me a minute.

What are you looking at?

Okay, kids, gather around.

There you go. Okay, without further ado,

please welcome Detective Grizz!

It's a... There's...

In the w... in the woods...

It was right there!

There's a... It's... in the woods.

There's a dead body in the woods!

There's a dead body in the woods!

Wait, explain to me again.
He's a bear...

That solves crimes, yeah.
Detective Grizz.

Yeah, he shows up at schools,
teaches kids to...

Stay away from crime.

Or else what... he mauls them?

Didn't you have Detective Grizz
when you were a kid?

Nah, not where I grew up.

Wait, so this dude
puts out forest fires too?

- No. That's another bear.
- What?

How many bears they got working?

No ID on the victim.

First on the scene saw her Navy tattoo,

which is why they called us.

Well, McGee, they don't need us.

They got Detective Grizz,
so he can solve it.

Detective Grizz is too busy
puking his guts out.

Yeah, looks like the contents
of her coat fell out.

Anything interesting?

Uh, a torn valet stub.

Could be where she last parked.

Valet company's number's on the back.

- Run it down.
- Sorry.

Sorry, I'm late, I know.

You oversleep, Jimmy?

No, my car wouldn't start. Again.

No, not the Man Van.

Yeah, the Man Van. In hindsight,

not the best purchase.

And to top it all off,

the handle to my bag finally broke.

You know, my tools spilled everywhere.

I love this bag.

Dr. Mallard gave it to me.

Jimmy, why didn't you
fix all that stuff already?

I'd love to, Nick,
but Victoria needs braces,

and money's a little tight
at the moment.

Tell me about it. It's criminal.

Speaking of. Our victim?

Oh, right. Sorry.

Well, uh, based on decomp,

I would say that she's been here
for a couple days,

which is gonna make
establishing a time of death,

uh, challenging.

- What about cause?
- Also challenging.

Got so many wounds here

it's hard to tell which ones were fatal.

All in all, I'd say it's
gonna take some time.

- So we got nothing.
- Yeah.

Come on, guys,

you're making me look bad
in front of Detective Grizz.

Well, this might make you happy.

Valet company gave me an address

where the car was last parked.

Where is it?

Nice digs.

You sure this is the right place?

Yeah.

Came up registered under a trust.

Happy to help. Anytime.

It was great meeting you. Thank you.

- Take care. Thanks for your help.
- Yep. Thanks.

Ma'am.

Can I help you?

NCIS. Is, uh...

is this your house, sir?

No, this is Senator Grayson's residence.

I'm her chief of staff,
Douglas Pritchard.

Uh, can I ask what this is regarding?

We'd like to have a word
with the senator.

Well, she's just finishing up a meeting,

but if you care to wait inside.

I'll tell the senator you're here.

This room is nicer
than my entire apartment.

You know what I'm thinking, don't you?

That I have a crappy apartment?

Senator. Dead body.

We could be looking at another, uh,

Chappaquiddick-type dealio.

Parker.

That looks just like...

Our victim, yeah.

I take it you're here

about Amanda?

All right, what, uh

what did my daughter do this time?

I'm sorry. Um...

I'm afraid your daughter's dead.

I can't believe she's gone.

We're sorry for your loss, senator.

I always feared this would happen.

Amanda was a troubled person.

How so?

Well, she was self-destructive.

Always acting out.

Do either of you have children?

No.

You think running a government
is hard, try parenting.

I guess it was my fault
that she was the way she was.

Amanda probably needed

more attention than I could give.

If I'd only been there for her...

Hey, hey. Don't do that
to yourself, Selena.

You did everything that you could.

When did you see her last?

Two weeks ago. I hosted a dinner.

She just showed up.

- Did this dinner have a valet service?
- Yes.

It-it was a fundraiser

for the senator's reelection campaign.

And how did Amanda seem?

Surprisingly upbeat.

And then she just

slipped back to her old ways and...

started drinking and

became loud and belligerent.

I tried to order her a car
to take her home,

but she just ran off.

That was the last time we spoke.

Well, thank you, Senator.

That's, uh, that's enough for now.

If we have any more questions,
we'll be in touch.

You'll be in touch sooner than that.

I want to be updated

on this investigation
every step of the way.

That's normally

not how we handle...

My daughter was murdered, Agent Parker.

And I'm gonna use

everything in my power
to catch the person responsible.

Do you understand?

Yes, ma'am.

When the senator

said that Amanda was troubled,
she was not kidding.

I checked her record.

Multiple DUIs, vandalism,
disturbing the peace,

and all before her sweet 16.

Teen delinquent. I can relate.

Though I doubt she did time in juvie.

Well, she was shipped
to Rosewood Center in Utah,

which is like, uh, a boarding
school for troubled teens.

And when that didn't work

her mom signed for her
to join the military

as a last-ditch effort.

I take it that didn't work either?

I talked to Amanda's CO.

She recently got disciplined
for misconduct.

Not her first time.

It sounds like the Navy

was planning on discharging her.

So what was she mixed up in?

I might have an answer.

Looked into Amanda's finances.

Turns out she was running a side hustle.

She was posting videos to CurioCam.

You say that like I'm supposed to know

what you're talking about.

It's an online subscription service

where people record private videos

for their subscribers.

You know, sex videos, kinky stuff.

So I've heard.

- Uh-huh.
- There are a lot of

shady characters on CurioCam,

so she could have
met the wrong person online.

I'm sorry, uh,

braces are how much?

And that's for the whole mouth, right?

Okay, all right.

Uh, let me see what I can scrounge up

and I-I'll talk to you later. Bye.

Sorry, Director.

- Problems, Dr. Palmer?
- No, no,

I just... Victoria needs braces.

I'm learning they are a tad expensive.

Oh, yeah, I remember.

When my kids needed braces,

I practically had to
refinance the house.

I am this close to telling her
just not to smile

for the rest of her life.

It'd be so much cheaper.

So, how's the autopsy coming?

I've just about calculated
Amanda's time of death.

I would have had it sooner,
but given the state of the body,

it's taken longer
than I would have liked.

Actually, that's why I'm here.

Senator Grayson

has been pushing to get some answers

as soon as possible,

and she has now demanded that we take on

a forensic pathologist
to assist with the autopsy.

Wow, I haven't worked
with anyone down here since, uh,

- well, since Dr. Mallard.
- Yeah, and I understand

it's an imposition, but

the senator's got SECNAV involved now,
so it's a...

Uh, no, no, no, it's fine, Director.

Who's the pathologist?

From what I hear,
he's actually quite accomplished.

He's worked a lot of high-profile cases,

he's written several bestselling books.

He even has his own docuseries.

It's not Miles Bauer, is it?

Jimmy. Can you believe this?

How long's it been? Come here,
give me some love, man.

Oh. Miles. Yeah, nice to see you.

So, wait, how do you... how do

- you two know each other?
- Uh, we were pre-med

together back in college.

Oh, more than that. We were roommates.

This guy... the smartest guy on campus.

And the horniest.

Nah, seriously, you look good.

You look good, too.

Uh, congratulations

on all your success, you know? The...

You've made a name for yourself.

What, all the TV stuff? Nah.

That's just Hollywood phony-baloney.

It's not like what you do here.

- Oh...
- Getting justice for fallen sailors?

That's truly God's work, man.
So charitable.

Well, it's... I mean, it's not charity,

it's actually my job.

So, Dr. Bauer, I take it

you're ready to start?
Yes, looking forward to it.

And just so you know, Jimmy,

as I told your director earlier,

I'm here simply to offer support.

This is your house. I'm just a guest.

I appreciate that.

So where are we?

- Time of death?
- I was...

Going off these numbers,
I'd say our victim

died two days ago

between the hours of 5:00 and 7:00 p.m.

- Just about to say that.
- Excellent.

This partnership is working out already.

Good.

Good, let's get to work.

With the gruesome
discovery of yet another victim...

- Hey, Kasie?
- Shh.

...San Antonio police
turned to Dr. Bauer for help.

In order to catch
the San Antonio Butcher,

I knew I had to examine
his original victims.

Every dead body has a story to tell.

You just need to listen.

Man, he's good.

So you've heard.

Oh, I am so excited.

I've read all of Bauer's books.

Have you gone down to meet him yet?

No, but I did work with him

back in my FBI days. Not a fan.

- What?
- Eh, I always thought Bauer

was a blowhard and a publicity chaser.

He never met a camera he didn't like.

And good thing, too, because
his docuseries is amazing.

Maybe he'll do one about this case.

How about we focus
on someone else's videos?

Namely the ones Amanda made, okay?

I reviewed all the footage

in her CurioCam account.

There was a lot of stuff.

Over four hours worth.

Was it all explicit?

Uh, not exactly.

What the hell am I looking at?

Amanda made ASMR videos,

which stands for autonomous
sensory meridian response.

People record themselves
making soft noises

like chewing or whispering.

It's designed to relax you.

- People pay for this crap?
- Oh, yeah.

It's big on the web.

Amanda had thousands
of dedicated subscribers.

Oh, yeah? Any one stand out?

One guy named Arthur Vernon.

He watched every video Amanda made

and always left a ton of comments.

What kind of comments?

The creepy kind.

"I think about your smell, your flesh.

My soul burns for you."

- Hmm.
- I know, right?

All this from bubble wrap.

You got an address?

It's open. Entrez vous.

Oh.

Arthur Vernon?

No, man. Arthur's, like, not here.

- You his roommate?
- Mm-hmm.

I'm Agent Knight, this is Agent Torres.

Do you know when
Mr. Vernon will be home?

Nope.

Hey, you all right
if we look around while we, uh,

while we wait for him?

Knock yourself out, man.

Su casa es mi casa.

Uh, which one is Vernon's room?

Down the hall,

to the left. Left.

We should arrest him
for just being a moron.

Oh, wow.

We have a stalker 101 over here.

Our boy was obsessed with Amanda.

Obsessed enough to kill her?

Is that...

Amanda's scarf.

Looks like he kept
a souvenir of her murder.

Mr. Vernon.

I understand how this looks.

Yeah?

How does it look?

I know about Amanda.

I didn't kill her.

I was a fan of hers.

We saw what was inside your closet,

Arthur, along with the comments

that you left on her video posts.

This one is one of my favorites.

"You and I are meant to be together,

in this world or the next."

Poetic.

I was interested in Amanda.

- That's not a crime.
- Care to tell us

how you got ahold of her scarf?

She gave it to me.

- When?
- Few weeks ago.

I messaged her through the site

and asked for a piece of her clothing,
so she sold it to me.

You have any record of this transaction?

A receipt or...

No, it's not really tax deductible.

I sent her cash.

I'd like some more water.

When we're done.

Where you were two days ago

between 5:00 and 7:00 p.m.?

I was at work.

I'm a cashier at the army surplus store.

- Anyone see you there?
- My boss.

He was there doing inventory.
You can ask him.

Oh, we will.

Army surplus store
is only about a mile from where

they found Amanda's body.

That's convenient, don't you think?

Are we almost finished here?

It's getting pretty late.

Have you ever been married?

Arthur?

Yes.

We divorced.

What happened?

She get tired
of your sparkling personality?

She, uh...

she was unfaithful.

Well, that must have made you angry.

Probably why she filed a
restraining order against you, huh?

According to the reports,
she said that you were abusive,

and that you threatened to kill her

- on multiple occasions.
- She's a liar.

If I'd ever lost my temper,

believe me, she had it coming.

Like Amanda had it coming?

So, what do you think... is he our guy?

Not sure yet.

I mean, everything
about him screams guilty.

He even gives me the creeps.

- But the evidence?
- Circumstantial.

We got nothing solid yet.

Damn it.

Senator Grayson caught
wind about Vernon.

She won't stop calling me.

She's out for blood, huh? Oh, yeah.

She's pressing me to make an arrest.

Well, look,
I know she's a senator, but, uh,

can't you tell her to back off?

- It's delicate.
- Well, look,

Leon, I'd love to help you out,

but, uh, without any proof,

we can hold Vernon for 24 hours,

- but after that, we got to cut him loose.
- All right.

Let's just hope we find something.

Oh, uh, sorry. I was just
gonna check her liver.

Oh, please. Go ahead.

Are you sure? 'Cause I can wait if...

I insist. There's plenty
of organs to go around.

Yeah, liver looks healthy.
No signs of steatosis.

- No steatosis.
- Check.

How long is he gonna just stand there?

Who? Kenji?

Nah, don't mind him. He's just here

in case I ever want to
turn this into a book.

He makes a mean cappuccino,
by the way. You want one?

- No, I don't.
- Hey, Kenji,

Could you whip up two
cappuccinos for us?

- Extra foam.
- Mm-hmm.

No, I don't need the... Kenji?

Kenji? Kenji, I...

Wish we had that toxicology report.

Kasie should have it done by now.

Sorry, she dropped it off
while you were in the bathroom.

Don't bother reading it.

Other than some vitamin B
and Rymodrin in her system,

Amanda was clean.

Rymodrin?

She was taking medication for ADHD?

Not surprising.
Seems like everyone I know

has been diagnosed with it these days.

Why didn't you tell me about this?

I've been waiting for the report.

I don't know. Just slipped my mind.

Wouldn't be the first time.

- Hey, Jimmy.
- McGee.

Hi. Have you met Dr. Bauer?

No. No, nice to meet you.

- Yeah, same.
- Listen, I hate to rush you guys.

We're kind of under the gun on this one.

Have you found anything?

We determined Amanda's cause of death

was blunt force trauma to the head,

most likely from a rock

swung by somebody who's left-handed.

Huh.

Arthur Vernon is left-handed, I think.

Have you found any DNA?

Not yet, but we're still looking.

Every dead body has a story to tell.

You just need to listen.

All right! You know it. Nice.

What are these marks here?

Uh, we don't know what that is yet.

Uh, it could be markings
from where the body

hit the ground.

Or maybe something
was placed over her mouth?

Of course.
How could I have been so stupid?

I knew those marks looked familiar.

You've seen this before?

I was working this case
years ago in Chicago.

We caught this serial killer,
real scumbag.

He liked to put a mask

over his victim's face
and asphyxiate them

prior to stabbing them.

Yeah, those are mask
impressions. I'm sure of it.

So, her killer placed a mask

over Amanda's face
before killing her, huh?

You find the mask, you find the killer.

I was wondering when you
guys were gonna show.

Ever since the news broke about Arthur,

shop's been flooded with reporters.

Not that I mind.

Good publicity.

Uh, how long did Mr. Vernon work here?

Couple years.

What impressions do you have of him?

You mean do I think
he could have killed that girl?

Heh, I can answer that real easy.

Hell yeah.

- He did it.
- What makes you say that?

Arthur was always an odd bird.

You know, kept to himself,
got real sensitive

if you ever touched any of his stuff.

But underneath, there was this

anger simmering.

Like a guy who was ready to explode.

And what about his alibi?

Can you confirm that he was working here

three days ago between
the hours of 5:00 and 7:00 p.m.?

I can confirm that I saw him

for the 30 minutes I was in the shop,

but what he did before and after,

who knows?

Okay, well, thank you.
We will be in touch.

Hey, while you guys are here,

you want to buy some military stuff?

We work with the military.

Want to sell something then?

Oh, yeah, that's pretty bitching, right?

Genuine World War II gas mask.

A lot of guys are
into this vintage stuff.

Was Vernon into it?

Well, now that you mention it,

yeah, he was.

You better not be going for

the last jalape o chips.

- What's that?
- Oh, no.

- They are all yours.
- Oh, okay.

Well, what's up?

Shouldn't you be downstairs

with Dr. Bauer, melding minds?

- Oh, no, I just needed a break.
- What's going on?

You two not playing nice?
I heard you were, like,

- friends in college.
- Uh,

not... not exactly.

I know this face.

There's something going on
between you two.

Jimmy.

I'm gonna get it out of you
one way or another.

Okay, all right, okay.

It's not that big of a deal.

Back in college, when we were roommates,

I was kind of, like,
the star student, you know?

And Miles was a screwup.

He was always
turning in his assignments late,

he was flunking tests.

Miles Bauer was a screwup?

Oh, yeah. Yeah. No, without my help,

he would have
failed out of school for sure.

Okay, so what happened?

Was he ungrateful or...

No, right before he graduated,

the Mayo Clinic offered
this pre-med internship,

and everybody wanted it.

So, of course Miles applied for it,

but I was seen as, like,
the shoo-in for it.

And the day before

my interview, the Mayo Clinic called

to reschedule the interview time.

Miles took the message
'cause I wasn't home.

I never got it.

Oh, no... You missed the interview?

Mm-hmm.

Yeah, Miles said he left a note

right there, by the phone.

I don't know.

I always wondered if maybe

he intentionally withheld it.

But, either way,

I didn't get the internship. Miles did.

The rest is history.

That little weasel.

I'm gonna go down there
and kick his ass.

Whoa, whoa, Kasie. No, no.
Hey, hey, hey.

- It's water under the bridge.
- No, he s...

he sabotaged you, Jimmy.

I could never prove it,
all right? It's in the past.

Honestly, I'm over it, all right?

So just...

enjoy your potato chips.

If you say so.

Gosh.

I don't know why I buy these.

Mm. They always burn my mouth.

They're jalape o. They're supposed to.

Oh.

I swear, these give me fevers.

I got to go.

Time's up. It's been 24 hours.

Do we have enough to arrest Vernon

for the murder of Amanda Grayson?

- Possibly.
- I was hoping

for something a little more definitive.

Well, Vernon's got motive
and his alibi is shaky,

but we still haven't got a smoking gun.

But we do. We have the mask.

I was able to compare the gas masks

sold at Vernon's employment

with the imprints on Amanda's face.

They were a perfect match.

That can't be a coincidence.

Did we ever find a mask
at Vernon's apartment?

No.

Vernon could have easily disposed of it

after killing her, which
is exactly what the killer did

on the case I worked on years ago.

I'm telling you, Director,

all the facts point
to Vernon being our guy.

It's case closed.

Except it isn't.

I've been going over the numbers,

and I hate to say it,
but Arthur Vernon is innocent.

What are you talking about?

Amanda's time of death...

the 5:00 to 7:00 p.m. window
that we've been working with...

is based on the assumption
that her body temperature

was 98.6 at the time of death.

Now, what happens if that
body temperature is higher?

Say 102, 103?

And how could that happen?

Because Amanda was on Rymodrin,

and when you combine Rymodrin
with intense physical exertion,

like she certainly would have
experienced during her attack,

it can cause a person's
body temperature to spike.

So, if Amanda's actual
body temperature was higher,

then that pushes back her time of death

by six hours, 11:00 a.m. to 1:00 p.m.

- which would mean...
- Vernon couldn't have done it.

He was at a doctor's appointment,

had a rock-solid alibi.

With all due respect to my colleague,

this is just conjecture.

Yes, elevated body temperature

could be a possible
side effect of Rymodrin,

but I have never come across it
in all my years of practice.

And I have. On a case I worked on.

And just to be sure,

I spoke with Amanda's doctor,
who told me that

she was always complaining
of running hot.

Her complaints could mean nothing.

Did her doctor verify it?
And this case of yours...

what is it?

What are the details?
I don't remember, exactly.

It was a long time ago

and I was an assistant.

But I do remember
the part about the Rymodrin.

So, let me get this straight.

Your theory is based on

some case you don't remember

and weren't even the M.E. on?

And you're gonna believe him over me?

I know I'm right, Director.

Cut Vernon loose.

No, this is a mistake.

When the senator
learns you let a killer go...

The senator isn't in charge
of this investigation.

I am, and I'm going with my man.

If anything happens, it's on you.

Hope we did the right thing.

Even if he didn't kill Amanda,
he's still a creep.

What's done is done.
No use crying over spilled suspects.

Do you think he's innocent?

What I think is we need to get to work

finding another suspect. Any ideas?

Maybe. I was going over
Amanda's phone records.

Day before she died,
she made several calls

to a classmate from the Rosewood Center.

Rosewood. That's the school
for troubled teens?

Yeah. Classmate may know something.

Kind of a long shot but...

Bring her in first thing tomorrow.

- Oh.
- Hey.

Hey.

What are you doing?

Oh, so this is how it works.

I've always heard that you
guys have heart-to-hearts in here.

Is that what we're doing?

- We're doing a heart-to-heart?
- Yep.

About Arthur Vernon.

Please, Jess, tell me you're
not taking Bauer's side on this.

No, no, I am on your side. Always.

It's... I just want to make sure

that your feelings about Bauer
aren't clouding your judgment.

So you're not taking my side.

Kasie told me what Bauer
did to you in college.

And I told her, I am completely over it.

Are you?

No, I lied. It really pisses me off.

But I'm not letting that
cloud my work, all right?

Vernon is innocent,
and the facts are the facts.

Okay. I believe you.

You want to talk about it?

It just doesn't seem fair.

Guy like Bauer gets to
cheat his way to the top

while the rest of us

struggle just to keep
our heads above water.

He gets TV shows, he gets book deals.

And what do I get?

I get a broken-down van
and braces I can't afford.

I'm sorry, Jess,

I'm just throwing myself
a pity party here.

No. No, no, no.

Party away.

I just sometimes wish
that things were easier.

Yeah, I understand.

It's tough right now.

But...

maybe try focusing on what you do have.

Thanks for coming in, Ms. Lygnos.

Yeah, of course.

Um, I heard about Amanda on the news.

I-I still can't believe it.

I just saw her a week ago.

Were the two of you close?

Not really.

I mean, I hadn't seen her since school,

and we weren't even that close then.

Which is why it was so weird

when she just called me out of the blue,
and asked me to lunch.

What did y'all talk about?

Rosewood, mostly.

Before we met,

she asked me to bring
all of my school photos.

I was into photography
back then, and I used to

go around taking photos of everything.

Any idea why Amanda
wanted to see these photos?

A trip down memory lane or...

No. I mean, to be honest,

I was surprised she wanted
to relive Rosewood at all,

given the rough time she had there.

What do you mean?

Rosewood wasn't exactly a summer camp.

If you were there
it was because you had issues.

Amanda seemed to have more than most.

She was withdrawn,

anxious.

I always felt bad for her.

Okay, what happened after this lunch?

She wanted to keep the photos,

and I gave them to her.

We said our goodbyes.

Then, a few days later,

she called me, uh, but
by the time I called her back,

she was already dead.

Excuse me.

It's Parker.

The police just found another body.

It's at the same park as before.

Lori Nelson, age 21.

A jogger found her an hour ago,
called it in.

I spoke with the local LEOs.

They didn't know much.

I ran a quick search on her.

She posted videos on CurioCam.

Just like Amanda. Anything on the body?

It's a fresh kill.
Less than three hours old,

and her head appears crushed.
Also like Amanda.

Where's Arthur Vernon now?
Anyone got eyes on him?

We sent agents to his
apartment and his workplace,

and no one can find him.

Vernon is in the wind.

He didn't waste any time, did he?

How could you let him go?

Senator, I understand...

Because of you, another woman is dead.

This is unbelievable.

We were acting on the best
evidence we had at the time...

No, you were acting on

his evidence.

Now, you could have chosen

to listen to Dr. Bauer,

a highly-respected pathologist,

but instead, you went with him,
and he was wrong.

I want him fired immediately.

Whoa, whoa. Hey...

No one's getting fired.

I made the call to release Vernon,

not Dr. Palmer.

I don't care. I want him out!

May I say something, please?

I feel awful that
another woman was killed.

But that doesn't necessarily
mean that Arthur Vernon did it.

Oh, come on. Jimmy. Really?

After all this, you're still

gonna stick with your Rymodrin theory?

It's not a theory, it's fact.

And I told you, it's nonsense.

It goes against all my experience.

And, what, your experience
is more valid than mine?

Do I really need to answer that?

I am so sick of you throwing
your career in my face.

You wouldn't even have a career
if it wasn't for me.

This how you run your agency?

Dr. Palmer.

Go home.

What? Are you firing me?

No, I'm taking you
out of the line of fire.

Go home, take a breath.

He's right, Jimmy.

We'll call you when things cool off.

Okay. Let's talk about how you plan

to catch this lunatic Vernon.

I imagine you have some
proposals on the table.

Okay. Yeah.

Yeah,
I'll just-I'll just call you back later.

Bye.

How's Jimmy doing?

Uh, I don't know. He says he's okay.

But this morning, when
I went to his apartment

to drop off his coffee,

there were dirty dishes
in the sink from last night.

Dirty dishes? Jimmy?

Yeah, cleaning is, like, his sport.

I hope he's okay.

Look, I know everybody's upset

about Jimmy being benched,

but the best thing we can do for him

is to catch Arthur Vernon

and put this case behind us, okay?

So, where we at?

BOLO's still out on Vernon.

And we are monitoring
the borders and airports,

but so far, nothing.

All right, keep at it.
He'll pop up sooner or later.

What if we are wasting our time?

What do you mean?

What if Jimmy's right and
Vernon isn't our killer?

I mean, think about it.
If he did kill Amanda,

why would he go back
to the scene of the crime

so soon and kill another person?

It clearly implicates him.

Yeah, that always did bug me.

- It's too obvious.
- Okay, I'll bite.

But if it isn't Vernon, then who is it?

Well, after we met up with, uh,

Amanda's classmate from Rosewood,

I went and did a little digging
on the school.

Turns out they're currently

under investigation
for allegations of sexual abuse.

I haven't read anything about that.

Cause a high-priced law firm
is trying to cover it up.

Amanda's classmate said that Amanda

was withdrawn and anxious.

Could be signs she was being abused.

Maybe that's why she
wanted her school photos.

She was looking for evidence
to incriminate her abuser.

Well, maybe she found it
and that's what got her killed.

Only way we'll know for sure

is to find out what was in those photos.

All right. McGee, Torres,

search Amanda's apartment
for the photos.

Knight, dig deeper

into this law firm,

find out who they're protecting.

And go for Bauer.

Liz, hi, how are you?

The book contract?

I have a copy in my car. Let me go look.

And while I have you on the phone,

what do you think about
this for a new book title?

The Morgue the Merrier.

No, I know, I know.

I don't see him anywhere.
I think he's gone.

Okay, great.
Now-now get close to the body.

Arthur Vernon is innocent,
but in order to prove it,

I need to get a closer
look at Lori Nelson.

Okay. If anyone
finds out I'm doing this,

I'll be the one at home
eating Mallomars,

which wouldn't be so bad,
come to think of it.

Are you next to the body, Kasie?

Yeah. Let's get this over with.

All right, okay, so, so move
me closer, all right?

And, um, you can reverse the camera.

Okay, just... Oh!

Oh... Kasie?

Ugh. Oh, God.

Kasie? What happened?
I can't see anything.

Okay, hold on, hold on, hold on.

- Oh...
- Wait, Kase?

Ka.. I-I can't see anything.
What happened?

Kasie?

Oh... Oh!

Kasie. K-K... W-What happened? I...

Oh, gosh. Oh.

Is everything okay?

No. You're gonna buy me
a new phone after this.

All right, all right, all right.

I need to see a bruise
on her upper left arm.

Can you move the camera in closer

and turn it around?

What is that?

I don't know. I mean, the bruising

could be from where
the killer grabbed her arm,

but the white stuff...

It looks like it's some sort of
skin cream that's dried out.

Maybe she had eczema or psoriasis?

That's what I was thinking,
but her medical report

says she didn't
have any skin conditions.

Then whose skin cream is this?

What are you doing in here?

Okay.

Hit me. What do we got?

I dug into the Rosewood scandal

and, uh, finally found

who the law firm is protecting.

Hello.

That's the guy we saw
at the senator's house.

His name is Raylan Marsh.

He is a Texas oil tycoon

and one of the original
investors in Rosewood.

Two former students are
accusing him of sexual abuse.

Marsh is claiming that Rosewood

is just one of his hundreds of charities

and that he's never even
stepped foot inside the school.

- But we know he's lying.
- Why's that?

Did you find the school photos
at Amanda's apartment?

No, someone else got to them first.

But we found something better.

The webmaster at CurioCam contacted me

about an outstanding bill
on Amanda's account.

Turns out she was paying for a separate

cloud storage account

where she kept digital copies
of the photos.

She was gonna go public with the photos.

She was gonna post them
on her CurioCam page.

The webmaster told you all this?

No, Amanda did.

My name is Amanda Grayson.

Six years ago,

when I was a student
at the Rosewood Center...

...I was...

...abused by Raylan Marsh.

Over a period of several months,

Raylan Marsh...

...sexually assaulted me.

And he's gonna say

that it never happened,
and that he was never there.

But these photos show the truth.

If she had gone public with this,

that would have destroyed Marsh.

He must have got wind of what
she was planning and killed her.

And then framed one of her
obsessed fans to take the fall.

Only Marsh isn't our killer.

We found something suspicious

when examining the body
of our latest victim.

To be fair,
Jimmy was the one who found it,

but he was right to be suspicious.

Are you now agreeing with him?

- What'd you find?
- The killer wasn't

wearing gloves
when he killed Lori Nelson.

He grabbed her and left behind a residue

of his psoriasis medication.

Luckily, it was a rare prescription

that needed to be compounded.

I was able to trace the prescription,

and guess who it belonged to?

Senator.

Oh, Agents Parker and Knight.

I hope you're here to tell me

that you've caught Arthur Vernon.

No, but we didn't need to,

because he didn't kill your daughter.

You did.

What?

We found your prescription cream
on Lori Nelson's body.

You got sloppy. You should have

used gloves like you did with Amanda.

I have no idea what...

Why would I kill Amanda?

Because of Raylan Marsh.

Amanda was going to expose him
for sexually abusing her.

Marsh happens to be the single

biggest donor to the senator's campaign.

He's practically bankrolling it.

And if word got out that the,
uh, senator

was being financed by the man
who molested her own daughter,

then both of your careers
would be finished.

Marsh abused my daughter?

I'm sorry, senator.

It happened to her
a long time ago at Rosewood,

years ago.

She hadn't seen him since,

until two weeks ago,
when Marsh showed up

at your fundraiser dinner.
That's why she got so upset.

Your daughter was a troubled woman.

But the last two weeks of her life,

she was trying to do good.

She wanted to go public about Marsh

and show the world who he really is.

Unfortunately,

she confronted Pritchard

about it first, and he panicked

and killed her. And later, Lori Nelson.

And framed both of the murders
on Arthur Vernon.

I got to say,

bringing in Dr. Bauer
to throw us off track?

Genius move.
You played Bauer like a fiddle.

Feeding him clues you knew
that he would eat up.

It was your idea to hire him

in the first place, wasn't it?

It was his idea.

Selena, please.

We were always
having to clean up her messes.

I was only trying
to protect you, to protect us.

...where, earlier today,

Douglas Pritchard
was arrested for the murders

of both Amanda Grayson, and Lori Nelson.

Sources tell us the arrest
was made with the help

of famed pathologist Dr. Miles Bauer.

What a load of bull.

He gets all the credit?

Jimmy's the one who broke the case.

I am just happy to be back.

And happy that we got
some justice for Amanda.

Yeah, and thanks to her video,
Raylan Marsh will be going away

for a very long time.

What ever happened to, uh,
Arthur Vernon, by the way?

Oh, we finally found him.

He was at his grandma's cabin,

hiding out from the press.

Oh. Dr. Bauer could
learn something from that.

Speaking of which...

Oh, I'm sorry.

I just, uh,

came to get my stuff.

Uh, know what, I can come back.

No. We...

...were just leaving.

You're packing it up, huh?

Yeah, Vegas PD called.

They need my help with a double murder.

- Ooh, sounds juicy.
- Yeah,

it's nothing like this one, though.

This was one hell of a case.

It'd make a great book.

I'm sure it would.

Yeah, we could write it
together, if you're interested.

I could speak to my publisher.

I think that's more your thing,
you know? I'm good.

Listen, Jimmy.

I'm sorry if things
got weird between us.

Oh, Miles, please. It's all in the past.

For what it's worth,

you should know
I was always jealous of you.

You were always the better one.
Still are.

Heck,

I know it couldn't have been easy,

watching our careers
take different paths, but...

No, it wasn't, but...

I'm-I'm glad things turned out
the way that they did.

You know, if I'd taken a different path,

I would have never met Breena,
I wouldn't have Victoria.

I certainly wouldn't have
my second family here.

So, I'm right where I'm supposed to be.

Take care of yourself, Jimmy.

You too, Miles.
