No, it's okay.

I'm okay.

Ahh!

It's beautiful!

It came to me in a dream.

Can we eat it?

Of course.

Just not too much,

gotta keep an eyeon that waistline!

Mmm.

This is amazing.

Wow!

What exactly is in that?

Don't worry, you won't loseyour waistline

with just one bite.

If you're just joining us,I'm here with Primo Maxx,

world renowned chef.

He has four five-starrestaurants,

three cookbooks anda line of cookware...

and he just demonstratedhis signature dessert,

Roseflower.

Where does it all comefrom, Primo?

How does any artist's work,I follow a vision.

Most people go throughtheir lives asleep.

It's my job to wake them up.

Well, you certainly gotmy attention.

Food isn't about eating.

A truly great chefis a magician.

I like to destabilize people,it sharpens the senses.

Well can you show ushow to make it?

Oh, I never give awaymy secrets.

But, if your viewers are wantingto try some,

I'm opening upanother restaurant

right here in Seattle,

and I'm going to be upand running by summer.

Oh, well did you hearthat everybody?

You'd better getyour reservations now!

I grew up here, I'm lookingforward to coming back.

Well, from all of us atWake Up...

welcome home.

Thank you so much for coming.

Of course.

Primo!

Vernon DuBoss, I ownthe station.

It's an honour to have you.

I've been to Max-Million'sLos Angeles,

quite the experience.

I know!

That was wonderful,just wonderful.

Thank you.

I cannot believe you decidedto visit our little show.

I prefer to call it intimate.

We have a personal relationshipwith all our viewers here.

Well I'd love to stayand chat ladies

but I have to catch a plane.

Uh... my props?

Right, yes!

Of course, your props.

Where's my assistant?

Oh, here!

Well don't just stand there,

help Mr. Primocollect his things.

Absolutely. Right this way.

No, no, no, no...that way.

Oh, okay. Sorry.

I thought Gretchen's assistantwas a guy.

Yeah, Gretchen fired him.

Temp agency sent her overthis morning

as an emergency replacement.

We must be at the bottomof the barrel.

Phil...

I'm just saying, that's fiveassistants in five months.

There can't bethat many left.

Yeah, but I mean who couldreplace Kiki?

She was perfect.

Yeah, except for that littlething about killing two people.

Yeah, right.

Ooh, she's toast.

Show of hands, who thinksshe's going to be here

at the end of the day.

The least we could dois help her out.

Greetings!

Thank you for waitingso patiently

There you are.

Oh, a book!

Thank you!

Uh, back seat and don't wrinklethe jacket.

Okay.

Sorry.

Thank you.

You forgot this on set.

Ahh! I have to doeverything myself.

What do we have?

Female, early 30's.

We're still lookingfor the knife

but it looks likea stab wound

to the base of the skull cutthe spinal cord.

No struggle.

Whoever killed her knewwhat they were doing.

No I.D. on the victim either.

No phone, no wallet.

Chef claims he's never seenher before,

doesn't know how the bodygot in the trunk.

Well it's a rental car so lotsof people have keys.

And the door looks likeit was forced.

Someone could've broken inand opened the trunk.

That assistant is still inside.

Let's see what she has to say.

Am I gonna get fired?

Fired?

I mean Primo did sayvery clearly,

"Put the tuxedoin the backseat".

What's your name?

Lucy.

Lucy, you have to know this isnot your fault.

The temp agency stoppedsending me out.

The only reason they calledtoday is because... well...

nobody wanted to workfor Gretchen.

I thought if I stayed outof the way

everything would be okay,but...

Billie.

Ian.

Hi.

Hi.

You remember my partner,Detective Hawke?

Sure, we're old friends.

Uh, this is Lucy.

I think she's still in shock.

Let's get the medicto check her out.

No worries, come with me.

Okay.

Alright.

So...

I probably wouldn't bemuch help here.

Gretchen invited Primoon the show

and I only just met him today,so...

It's okay, I saw the statementyou gave earlier.

If we need anything else,we'll be in touch?

Okay.

So, um... it was greatto see you again.

You too.

Billie.

Hey.

You probably thought I'd call.

I mean I said I'd callbecause I wanted to call

but then my life kindof got crazy...

It's okay.

I mean the thing is,the more time that went by,

the harder it was to explain.

Ian... really, it's okay.

I mean, it's not about you.

Please, don't worry.

I mean, I never even thoughtabout it.

Oh, you didn't?

No, I mean we both havereally busy lives.

It's not like I calledyou either.

Right.

Right, so... are we good?

Yeah, I guess so.

Good.

Rumours are flyingabout a body found

in the trunk of a rental carat GZB Studios this morning.

Police have questioned and released celebrity chef

Primo Maxx who rented the car late last night

from a Seattle airport.

I thought we agreed no TV.

I'm just checking.

Well, so is everybody elsein the restaurant.

Which means that we're notpaying attention.

Salt in the pepper shakers!

And all the bar glasseshave spots.

So far the identity ofthe victim is unknown.

Police are asking anyone with information

to contact the following number

Oh, that poor girl.

I bet you he did it.

Who?

Who?

The dark lord of dessert, Primo.

The body was foundin the back of his car.

Focus on the fish.

I bought ten pounds of flounderand when Billie gets here,

do not bring it up.

Bring what up?

Nothing.

Maurice was just a littlebit distracted.

Well, can you blame him?

I can't believe thatactually happened!

Did the police thinkPrimo did it?

They're not saying

but it doesn't seem possible.

I beg to differ.

Food isn't about eating?

He likes to destabilize people?

All right, that's enough.

But why would he drive aroundwith a body in his car

and then hand his keys over toa complete and total stranger?

He told you,he's a thrill seeker.

Fear sharpens the senses.

I have fear!

We're about to open in two hours

and no one has filletedthe fish.

So the next person who mentionsPrimo Maxx

is banned from my kitchen.

Try me!

Would you mind takingFeathers out?

He's been cooped upall day.

Sure, no problem.

May I help you?

Pete Bower, uh, privateinvestigator.

I used to work with

the Los Angeles policedepartment, homicide.

I want to talk to you aboutPrimo Maxx.

I already told the police,I don't really know him.

Well I got to knowPrimo pretty well.

Nine years ago his fiancéewas murdered.

I was in charge of the case.

Okay Feathers,you go see Daddy.

Go see daddy.

I'm sorry but what does thishave to do with me?

I need your help.

I want you to interview meabout that case on your show

Wake Up West Coast to make surethe people know

that Primo is connectedto another murder.

Primo slippedthe net last time.

We finally have a chanceto catch him.

I'm a chef, I docooking segments.

You went after a killeron your show before,

I saw you.

Those were unusualcircumstances.

So are these.

Primo's famous,people love this guy.

Nobody wants to believehe's a killer.

They won't even know he'ssuspected of another murder

unless we tell them.

We need to pull backthe curtain.

If you have informationyou should probably

take it to the police.

The police don't care.

They gave up long ago.

Evidence loses its lusternext to a bright star.

This is your lucky day.

Look what just came outof the oven.

People have to stand in linefor these.

Now, can I get you a coffeeor a tea?

No its okay, we're done.

Two women connectedto Primo Maxx are dead.

If we don't stop himthere could be more.

I'm sorry, I can't help you.

What was that about?

I'm not sure.

You can't put that detectiveon your show.

Primo's fiancée was named Rose,just like his dessert.

She must have inspired him.

All the more reasonto stay out of this!

Clearly Primo is obsessedwith her.

If you accuse him of murderhe's going to come after you.

That's like bait for the shark.

Oh, let's not get melodramatic.

Why did that detectivecome to Billie anyway?

If he had information whydidn't he take it to the police?

You know, I really should letIan know about this.

Ian?

Ian Jackson.

Yeah, he's working the case.

He's in town.

He moved in to his father'sold place after the divorce.

Well that seems kind of forward,don't you think?

Why don't you just call?

It's after 5:00, he won't beat the station.

You deleted his number,didn't you?

Did I say those words?

No. I told you she was upsetthat Ian never called.

I am not upset!

I saw him today and we hada good conversation.

Take food.

Take food?

It'll put her in a positionof power.

That is the most ridiculousthing I've ever heard you say.

Guys, it is a murderinvestigation.

Not a date.

There, okay just go, go, go.

Can I help you?

Uh... I'm not sure.

I was looking for Ian Jackson?

Ian's not home,he's working late.

Can we keep reading?

In a second, sweetie.

Did you want to leavea message?

No, I mean... uh...I'm not...

You wrote that cookbook.

I did.

And you must be Emma.

Your dad saysyou're super smart.

She is.

Do you like to cook?

She's a great cook.

Well that's perfectbecause I made this lasagna

and need someoneto taste it for me.

It's a new recipe.

Love to know what you thinkabout it.

Thank you.

Okay, thanks.

Good night.

Good night.

Hey Aunt Cassandra.

What happened?

Nothing happened.

Then why are you upset?

You know if I didn't know bette

I'd swear you had a spy cam in this car.

I don't need the spy cam,I have ears.

Well Ian wasn't home.

I'm pretty sure I just methis new girlfriend.

Now, see I knew it wasa bad idea.

Nobody just stops by except in coffee commercials.

Aunt Cassandra, please tell meyou are not in my kitchen

making hot chocolate again.

I could be.

Give me five minutes.

I have to call you back.

Maurice?

Front door was open.

Pretty much went throughthe whole house.

Anything missing?

My laptop.

What in the world?

What happened?

Are you okay?

I'm fine.

Put your eyes back in your head.

Have you never seenslippers before?

We didn't find any signsof a break in.

Is it possible someoneyou know did this,

someone with a key?

Anybody can get into this house,

she leaves a key by the frontdoor under a flower pot!

I always lose my keys.

I have told her not toa hundred times.

You might as well put up a sign,what's mine is yours!

This is a really safeneighbourhood,

no one even lockstheir doors.

This pot?

Yes, right by the welcome mat.

So it's probably how theygot in.

You ought to change your locks.

Oh don't worry, she will.

You don't have to stayAunt Cassandra.

Girl, please.

Your father was exactlylike you.

Too trusting.

Maybe if he was here to seeall of this

it'd change his attitude.

What?

Nicotine gum?

I'm more worried aboutsomeone walking around

with your spare key.

Billie, it doesn't seem strangeto you?

Somebody breaks intoyour house the same day

a body shows upat the TV studio?

Hey Lucy.

Hey, you were right,I didn't get fired.

Did you want a coffee?

I've got black and three kindsof regular.

No thanks, but I should probablyput this down.

Um, is that dessert?

I forgot to call you...the cooking segmentwas cancelled.

Cancelled?

There you are.

Billie, this is detective Bower.

I know.

Oh, good.

No need to waste timeon introductions.

I'm putting him on the show andI want you to do the interview.

Uh, Gretchen I really don'tthink this is a good idea.

Did you know Primo Maxxwas a person of interest

in another murder?

I think we should leavethis up to the police.

I checked out Bower.

He was a homicide detectivein Los Angeles for ten years.

We're not that kind of programand I'm not a crime reporter.

You interviewed Primo,

you know him betterthan any of us.

I don't know him at all.

Look, I know thisis unorthodox

but Bower askedfor you specifically.

Primo was never chargedwith that murder

and he hasn't been chargedwith this one.

We could be sued.

You might not be aware but ourratings are going down,

even after we updated the set.

This is national news.

We have a chance to getthings back on track.

What if we're wrong?

Do you want me to givethis interview to Lance?

Lance?

Lance would destroy Primo.

He's been waiting for an exposéhis whole career!

Exactly.

At least you can be objective.

What do you got?

Primo drove straight herefrom the airport.

The garage was unattendedbut we got security video.

He checked in, hada drink at the bar,

11:30 he takes an elevator upto his room.

Right after that the wholesecurity system goes down.

The bellhop at the front desksaw a lady in the lobby

around that time,says she's our Jane Doe.

How long were the securitycameras out?

Half an hour.

Must've been when she died.

Can't find her on anysecurity footage

and the M. E. estimates the timeof death between 11 and 12.

So she showed upafter the lights went out.

By the time they cameback on,

she was in the trunkof Primo's car.

It must've been planned.

Primo had enough time to getdown here and back

in a half an hour.

Except Primo has an alibi.

At 11:40 he orderedroom service.

Ten minutes later a busboydelivered some coffee.

That gave him seven minutes.

It's too neat.

No security footage.

She shows upwhen Primo does...

He has a tidy alibi.

You think it's Primo?

Either him or someone's tryingto frame him.

Sadly, the body of a young womanwas found

in our television studioparking lot yesterday,

in the trunk of a car drivenby one of our guests.

Another young woman was killednine years ago in Los Angeles.

Joining us today is a retiredhomicide detective

who believes that these twocrimes might be connected.

So, Pete Bower, what connectsthese two murders

set so far apart in timeand location?

Two words, Primo Maxx.

Rose Brown was the manager ofPrimo Maxx's first restaurant

in Los Angeles.

She and Primo were also engaged.

The engagement ended one nightin a heated argument,

overheard by restaurantemployees.

The next morning,

Rose's body was found bythe cleaning service.

At first, the crime scenelooked like a robbery

but then we foundthe murder weapon...

a meat tenderizer coveredin Primo's prints.

The meat tenderizer could'vebeen used at the restaurant,

that would explain the prints.

But an eyewitness saw a mango into the restaurant

at the time of the murderand Primo couldn't account

for his whereabouts that night.

But the day we wentto arrest Primo,

his business partnerVictor Anderson claimed Primo

had spent the night with him.

The case went cold.

We never found the killer.

But Primo was never charged

with the murder of Rose Brown,correct?

Well, he was our only suspectuntil his partner turned up

with that alibi.

An alibi that the policeaccepted.

Two women connected toPrimo Maxx were murdered.

Two women were murdered,which is really tragic,

but I'm still not seeingthe connection.

Police have been unable toidentify the current victim,

but according toa press release,

Primo did not know her.

Maybe, but she knew him.

The most recent victimis Jessica Gilmar...

Rose Brown's best friend.

Jessica lived in Los Angeles,

she flew to Seattle the same dayas Primo and turned up dead.

That seems like a connectionto me.

Two women, two murders,one famous chef.

That was great.

Thank you.

I think we pulled the curtainback on an ugly truth.

We have the lead on this.

I've already gotten callsfrom two national news networks.

I'd like you to doan update tomorrow.

Happy to oblige.

The more pressure we can puton him the better.

Um... Gretchen?

That man that was here the otherday is coming down the hall

and he looks kind of enraged.

What man, Primo?

Daddy!

Gretchen, your office, now.

Should I go with them?

I'm the assistant, I shouldprobably go with them.

Something tells methe owner of this network

did not like that show.

Well of course he didn't.

You can't go around accusingpeople of murder, Phil.

We'll all get sued.

If you knew who it was,

why didn't you justgo to the police?

I told you, the policeare useless.

The only way to beat Primois take him by surprise.

I'm afraid to ask.

It's my new signature dessert.

Ah...

Oh! Impressive.

Not quite there yet.

I'm going to douse itwith brandy,

set it on fire andit's going to melt

right on top of the ice cream.

Instant hot fudge sundae!

Why are you creatinga signature dessert?

Well you did see the show.

Regrettably, yes.

I tried to warn Billiebut did she listen? No.

Mark my words, Primo is notgoing to like being accused.

I mean he's going to tryto steal our customers

to pay Billie back and we've gotto fight fire with fire.

Primo is not going to stealour customers.

Oh, I'm pretty sure he has moreimportant things

to worry about than that.

Oh, you mean like, uh...how to stay out of jail?

Where you just sent himon live television.

The police drawingwas on the news,

I'm pretty sure it's justa matter of time

before someoneidentified Jessica.

Do you know where Primo isbuilding his new restaurant?

Right down the streetin that vacant lot.

And he could put usout of business.

What is that?

Speaking of police... I don'tsuppose you told Ian.

Cassandra. Maurice.

Nice to see you.

You realize how many problemsyou started today?

I'm really sorry.

I just got off the phone witha homicide detective from L.A.

Bower didn't retire,he was fired.

You know why?He's unstable.

He started stalking Primoafter Primo was cleared.

The D. A. gets wind of this?

She won't touch the case.

I didn't even know he was comingon the show.

So it was just coincidence youwere at my house last night?

No, he came by the restaurant

so I thought you should knowabout it.

Why didn't you leave mea message?

I didn't want to intrude.

What, on the babysitter?

Babysitter?

Wait a minute, you thought...

Ian, you never called...

and you said it was hardto explain.

So I just assumed that...

My ex-wife got transferredout of town,

Emma's shy and we all decidedthat she should stay with me.

So that's what you meantwhen you said

your life got a little crazy.

Emma and I are still tryingto figure out a routine.

I mean, she misses her momand I'm at work all the time...

I just didn't think it wasthe right time to start dating.

No, of course not.

Will you do me a favour?

No more exposés.

Scout's honour.

You know, I was shy toowhen I was Emma's age.

I find that hard to believe.

No, it's true!

All those kids trying so hardto be so popular.

I just couldn't keep up.

Do you know what my dad told me?

He said if you do one kind thingfor someone every day,

you won't have time to thinkabout yourself.

I always knew you hada super power.

Works pretty well...

when I remember.

Are you really gonna letMaurice go through with this?

Read the cookbook,the front page.

If at first you don't succeed,fry again.

Well nobody will befrying anything

if he burns downthis restaurant.

Excuse me.

Billie, I gotta tell you,that was one amazing meal.

I'm becoming one ofyour biggest fans.

Thank you so much.

Nice meeting you too.

Have a great day.

Thank you!

You're welcome!

Ladies and gentlemen,

if I may have your attentionplease.

Thank you.

Tonight, I am proud to introducea new dessert.

Molten Snow.

Sorry.

It's out!

Maurice was right,Primo is coming after you.

We need to report that explosionto the police.

Aunt Cassandra,it's 6:00 in the morning.

Somebody broke into your place.

Primo was in the parking lot.

Why else would he be there?

Want some coffee?

Come on in.

Maurice said there was a newprep chef working last night.

He thought I hired her,I didn't hire anybody!

I saw her after the explosion.

I thought she seemed strange.

Primo must've sent her,to sabotage the restaurant.

Why would he do that?

A warning to stop talkingabout those murders on TV.

I found Jessica Gilmar online.

Please tell me you are nottrying to solve this crime.

Jessica posted all thesepictures of her and Rose

right after Rose's murder.

The only thing on the account,pictures of her and Rose.

They grew up together.

She didn't post anything elseuntil this.

She posted that abouta month ago.

You know, sometimesit's hard to let go.

Your grandmother never got overyour grandfather.

She kept setting a place for himat the table for years.

Aunt Cassandra, Rose Brown'sfamily sold their home

and Jessica helped them pack.

What if she found something?

Something in Rose's things.

Then whoever killed Rose

killed Jessica too sothey wouldn't get caught.

Which means Bower is right,there is a connection.

But why would she follow Primoto Seattle if she thought

he was the killer?

I suggest you ask the policethat question.

We don't know that Primowas behind this explosion.

We need proof.

You need protection beforePrimo does something to you.

You like the new look?

What's going on?

Isn't it obvious?

We're switching to Team Primo.

The boss's afraid we mightget sued for

accusing Primo of murderon live television.

I can't imagine why!

So Gretchen's doingdamage control.

T-shirts?

Primo's on his wayto the studio.

I'm hoping he'll agree to doanother cooking segment.

Something that showshis fun side,

you know, just to smooth overany misunderstandings.

Turns out Primo has an alibi

and that detective of yours...Bower,

isn't 100 percent reliable,he might even be unstable!

He's not my detective.

I don't blame you.

I know you sent him.

A clever ploy to get theinterview but I didn't care,

I wanted the ratings.

I didn't send him, Gretchen.

You need to go.

Not permanently, just for today.

We want to make surethat Primo feels safe.

Oh, absolutely.

Murder suspectshave feelings too.

You're leaving so early?

I was hoping I would geta chance to have a chat.

I'm sorry, do I know you?

Victor Anderson, I'm PrimoMaxx's business partner.

I look more robustin photographs.

Gretchen said Primo was coming.

I wanted to assessthe situation myself.

You made Primo out to be quitethe villain yesterday

which seems quite unsporting

especially since Primo was sucha big help to your father.

My father?

You didn't know?

Your father met Primoat a book signing.

He said he was going to opena restaurant

and Primo offered himsome advice.

Between you and me...

I think you made a mistake whenyou got involved with Bower.

I think you could get hurt.

Three weeks ago,

Jessica Gilmar went tothe police in Los Angeles.

She claimed she found a documentthat proves someone

was stealingfrom the restaurant.

She thought that's whyRose was killed.

The police couldn't authenticatethe document.

They told Jessica it was useless

and there was nothingthey could do.

What's the timeline?

Well she flew to Seattlesame day Primo did,

went straight from the airportto his hotel.

Credit card puts herin a taxi at 10:15.

Why would she follow Primoif she thought he was a killer?

She might've been meetingsomeone else.

Have we found Bower yet?

No, not yet.

He disappeared afterdoing Billie's show.

Speak of the devil.

Look who's here.

Let me get this straight,

Maurice poured brandyover a chocolate dessert,

lit a match andit caught on fire?

It didn't catch on fire,it exploded.

That sounds likea Maurice problem.

Brandy doesn't explodeand I saw Primo there

outside the restaurant.

How exactly did he causethe explosion,

with magical powers?

Cassandra thinks that he planteda prep chef in the kitchen

and they must've added somethingto the brandy.

I know it sounds crazy but Primowas not happy about that story

we did on the show.

I can't imagine why.

I found this nicotine gumwrapper outside the restaurant.

The night before,somebody broke into my house,

stole my laptop and left this.

I saw Primo's business partnerat the TV studio,

Victor Anderson.

He told me that I made a mistakeby getting involved

and I could get hurt.

But you're not getting involved,right?

Because that would be illegal.

I'm glad you came by.

We'll keep an eye on Primo.

Okay, thank you.

I thought you talked to her.

I did.

Then why is she snooping around

getting informationfor her show?

She's not lookingfor information.

Did you hear what she said?

Did you?

Let's just check the reporton the break in.

Well maybe you should startdating her,

so you can think straight.

Billie?

Billie, look at you!

Joey, how are you?

What a sight for sore eyes!

I haven't seen you since...since your father's funeral.

Hey, how's that beautiful auntof yours?

She still with that car dealer?

Insurance salesman and no,

the car dealer wasthe first husband.

Now she's, she's single.

Oh... oh.

Hey, I... I saw your interview.

You're turninginto a real reporter.

Eddie would be,he'd be so proud of you.

I'm not so sure about that.

Is that why you're here, tryingto get some dirt on Primo?

I hear there isn't any.

Apparently he has an alibi.

Nobody really believes that.

Don't say I told you, okay?

Primo's lying justlike the last time.

All it takes is a fewAndrew Jacksons

to get a busboy on your side.

Where's Maurice?

Late... and I'm afraidhe might stay home.

He was humiliated last night.

He tried to tell me that Primowas dangerous.

I wish I had taken him a littlebit more seriously.

Did my father ever mentionPrimo to you?

No, why?

I'm pretty sure that Primo'sbusiness partner

just tried to threaten me.

And he said that my dadand Primo knew each other.

I hope you told the police.

Yeah, it didn't makemuch of an impression.

Primo has an alibi.

So would I if I was drivingaround with a dead body

in my trunk.

Joey thinks that Primo bribeda busboy.

Joey Simmons.

You, you saw him?

What if Primoreally did do this?

This can't be the first timethat thought

has ever occurred to you?

Jessica was fightingfor her friend, Cassandra.

They were both killed.

Who's fighting for them now?

Hopefully the police.

Primo is staying atthe Van Drake Hotel.

I know the executive chefover there.

No.

We could just go talkto this busboy,

he's probably just a kid.

He was probably intimidated.

I am not getting involvedin your shenanigans.

What about the explosion?

If Primo was responsible,

shouldn't someonetry to stop him?

Aunt Cassandra,wait here.

Why?

If you see Primo,text me.

I'm gonna go out the back,we can meet in the alley.

Well that's reassuring,you planning our escape.

It's just a precaution.

Try not to sound so excited.

Don't worry.

Cassandra Shaw.

Joey Simmons.

You about gave mea heart attack!

I knew it was you,even behind that paper.

I was talking to Billiethis morning,

first time in years.

Oh.

I have been thinking about youever since.

You know what,maybe this is a sign!

What exactly are you doing here?

Between you and me,

this hotel is the siteof a recent murder.

Really?

We have officers right now

talking to a possibleperpetrator, so...

You know what, I would loveto stay and chat

but I was supposed to meetsomebody and I'm late

so I will see you later.

It was so nice to see you,Joey.

Bye!

Wait...

Ian.

Please tell me you're hereto test some recipes.

Because interferingwith a police investigation

would be a crime.

You promised notto get involved.

Actually I promised not to doanymore exposés.

I thought I could trust you.

You can.

Then what are you doing here?

I want to help Jessica and Rose.

Nobody asked you to help.

Well I know the executivechef here

so I thought maybe I'd tryto talk to that busboy.

You should stay out of this.

What if Primo was lying?

You're not a detective,you're not even a reporter.

You're a chef!

Somebody is stalking me.

They broke into my house,

they tried to sabotagemy restaurant.

I said I would look into it.

No, you said you were gonna keepan eye on Primo,

which sounds a lot like"I'll call you".

Which... which I didn'tmean to say.

Can we just not getinto that right now?

Look, it's just that you didn'ttake me very seriously

when I told you aboutthat explosion.

Why do you think I'm here?

Um... okay, I may have misreadthe situation.

You should go.

Found this in Primo's room.

Belongs to Jessica Gilmar.

Her cellphone.

Where have you two been?

Next time I agreeto play detective,

just throw some cold waterin my face.

Detective?

It's a long story.

I have a better one.

Guess who I just got offthe phone with?

The executive chef at the hotelwhere Primo's staying.

Billie and I know himpretty well.

Oh, is that right?

You know what he told me?

One of his busboy's gave Primoan alibi for the night

Jessica Gilmar was killed.

And that busboy just quitbecause Primo gave him a job.

Sounds like Primo boughtthat alibi.

How about that?

All we had to do was pick upthe phone.

Is anyone going to tell mewhat's going on?

First, I need a cup of coffee.

Are you coming?

I got a couple thingsI need to do.

Can I help you?

I'm looking for Victor Anderson.

He doesn't take visitors.

Yes?

It's Billie Blessings.

I know who you are.

If you don't leave, I'm calling the police.

Then I'll go on my show and telleveryone that Primo Maxx

tried to burn myrestaurant down.

Billie Blessings.

I'm Gibby, VictorAnderson's son.

He's sick so try not toupset him.

Okay.

That was a bold move.

I gather you're planningon going after Primo Maxx

on that show.

No.

Then you lied to my son.

I didn't lie.

Of course, what am I saying?

You wrote that cookbook full ofplatitudes about life and pie.

I wanted to talk to you.

I know that you would neverlet Primo get hurt,

you've worked too hardto protect him.

But I think he killedJessica Gilmar.

Haven't we been through this?

I didn't believe it at firstbut I changed my mind.

What does that have to dowith me?

You gave Primo an alibithe night Rose Brown died.

Only he wasn't with you,was he?

Suppose he wasn't.

Do you think I would actuallytell you?

I mean, you had to haveknown Rose.

Didn't you care about herat all?

Primo didn't kill Rose andhe didn't kill Jessica Gilmar.

Why do you keep protecting him?

I am not protecting anyone.

I trust Primo...more than my own son.

That was brave...what you just did.

I've never been ableto stand up to him.

My father has a blind spot.

He'd do anything for Primo,even after the accident.

What accident?

The one that put my fatherin that chair.

He almost died.

You think Primo is responsible?

It was right after my fathergave Primo that phony alibi.

You don't believe the alibi?

Neither do you.

Isn't that why you came?

My father was drivingPrimo's car,

the brakes failed.

I guess Primo wanted to makesure the story didn't change.

Jessica called Bower the dayafter she took the file

to the police.

But they blew her off, maybeshe thought Bower would help.

Yeah, not for long.

He called her 14 timesafter that,

all missed calls.

She was avoiding him.

The guy is a little intense.

What's this number?

They can't track it.

Looks like a burner.

It's the same numberJessica texted

when she got to the hotel.

They called her and she came.

They lured her here.

You think it was Primo?

What's the time stampon those texts?

11:36.

11:30, just like Primo said.

Wait a minute.

She was in the bar.

That's when the cameraswent down.

She leaves the bar the same timePrimo does.

Security cameras go out.

One minute later,Jessica gets a text.

Come now.

Primo's alibi worksbecause he had help.

I'm assuming you weren'tjust running errands

or else you would've answeredyour phone.

I went to see Victor Anderson.

Primo's business partner,the one who threatened you?

He's in a wheelchair,Aunt Cassandra.

His son thinks Primotried to kill him.

And what do you think Primo'sgoing to do to you

if he finds outyou were there?

He knows the policeare watching,

he's not going to do anything.

I think he already did.

We had a visit from the healthdepartment while you were gone.

They got an anonymous callabout the fire.

Oh yeah, there were healthinspectors all over this kitchen

looking for violations.

We don't have any violations!

No, I know that.

But this anonymous callerjust happened to mention

a certain crazed animalthat resembles a barking bird.

They decided Feathers can't beanywhere on the premises.

Where's Maurice?

I think he took Feathersfor a walk.

Hey.

You okay?

Feathers is a little upset.

They came after himlike a SWAT team.

Oh, I'm so sorry.

One of the inspectors claimedhe tried to bite her.

He doesn't bite, he doesn'teven like bones!

Fine. Two minutes.

And then we're going home,buddy.

I hope you're not thinkingabout quitting.

And leave you to facethe sociopath by yourself?

How can you even askthat question?

Just wanted to be sure.

I do have some concerns.

Like what?

In case you haven't noticed,

Primo Maxx is trying to put usout of business.

So far he's ahead.

Remember when we first openedthe restaurant?

You said you can't fail if yourheart is in the right place.

I said that?

Last chapter of the cookbook.

The most importantingredient is love.

That's kind of catchy.

I'll take it.

It works for me.

Come on, now!

Let's go boy, let's go home.

What's going on?

I'm not sure.

What the...?

Don't touch it.

There's blood on it.

I'm going to call the police.

You think that was the knifethat killed Jessica?

I really can't comment.

Of course.

We won't know the results untilwe get them back from the lab.

Amazing.

Whenever there's a breakin the case, you turn up.

Did you explain the situation?

I was about to.

We don't know what this means,

which means we don't wantany leaks.

I understand.

Which means no stories.

She just said she understands.

A few days ago, I was attackedby a guest on this show.

An attack based on rumourand insinuation

that was ultimatelyproven false.

Today, we put that unfortunateepisode behind

and as a gesture of good will,

I'm going to take you ona culinary adventure.

The salt crushed puffer fish.

The most dangerous entréein the world.

Before it can be eaten,

a qualified chef must sliceout the poison.

Um, I don't meanto interrupt but...

Primo Maxx?

You're being arrestedunder suspicion of murder.

Cut to commercial.

No!

Put down the knife.

You have the rightto remain silent.

Anything you say may be usedagainst you in a court of law.

You have the rightto an attorney.

Improve his image?

How exactly does that improvehis image?

I'm so sorry, I had no ideathat would happen.

We'll discuss this in court.

Oh wait, where areyou going?

Where do you think?To call our lawyers.

But what about the show?

Well I don't know.

Do a style segmentor something.

Style segment?

Why do you keep following me?

I'm not.

I won't.

Good!

Hey.

How would you like a makeover?

So the next time you're worriedabout a job interview

or that special date, remember,you can do anything

with the right coloursand a little bit of faith.

Ian.

Is that an apple crumble?

I can't take credit,Emma baked it.

She told me you should alwaysreturn a dish

with something sweet in it.

It's probably a tip fromyour cookbook, isn't it?

Come on in.

Thank you.

Sorry I, uh... interruptedthe show this morning.

Well actually I was justwatching the recording

and Tiffany was great.

Maybe it was a blessingin disguise.

So, um... I guess you foundPrimo's prints on that knife?

Off the record... yes.

We think he's workingwith someone.

We still haven't found her.

Well is that why you came?

Actually I wanted to thank you.

Emma had a really good dayin school.

I told her your trick,

do one kind thing every day,she made two new friends.

Aw, that's great.

Yeah.

That's so great.

I just wanted...

So listen, I...

You first.

About that argument, I shouldn'thave called you a chef.

It's okay.

I take it as a compliment.

Good.

Because it is, really.

And I shouldn't have saidanything about you not calling,

that was a heat of the momentkind of thing and...

Maybe we just put it behind us?

Start all over?

Okay.

That'd be great.

Would you, would you likesome crumble?

Yeah.

You should take it.

Billie Blessings.

Oh... okay, I'll have to callyou back.

It was Primo's attorney.

Primo wants to talk to me.

You don't have to talk to him.

But it might help us find outwhat kind of game he's playing.

We'll be right here.

I didn't kill Jessica Gilmar.

Come on, do I look that stupid?

Drive around with a bodyin my car.

Keep her phonein my hotel phone.

Oh, leave a knife, yeah,with my prints in my own lot?

Why do you care what I think?

I'm being framed.

By who?

Bower.

And he told mehe was gonna do it!

He called, about a month ago,

and he said this timehe's gonna make it stick.

The next day, Jessica Gilmargoes down to the police

and claims that Rosehad a document

that proves that I was stealingfrom my own restaurant.

Did she have a document?

It was fake!

And the police even apologizedfor wasting my time.

Bower was setting me up.

Why?

Because he's crazy?

He's been stalking me eversince Rose was murdered.

My business partner, he hadan accident driving my car.

I think Bower was tryingto kill me.

I don't believe you.

Well, your father did.

My father?

When he offered to help.

Did Eddie ever mentionPrimo to you?

No.

I know you helped my fatherwith the restaurant.

But he helped youwith the investigation?

Yeah, I was visiting Andersonin Seattle

when the accident happened.

And I knew your fatherso I got in touch with him.

I told him about Bowerand I asked him

to help find Rose's killer.

Why didn't you say anythingabout this to me before?

Well, we haven't had a lotof time to talk.

I'm done here.

I loved Rose Brown.

She was the only good thingin my life.

Why would I ask your fatherto investigate it

if I killed her?

Did you know that my dadhelped Primo?

Primo's in trouble so he'dsay anything to get out of it.

What if Bower did tryto set him up?

Primo is a manipulator.

He toys withpeople's perceptions,

that's what made him famous.

Bower came to the restaurantthe same day Jessica's body

was found and my laptopwas stolen that night.

That's not a perception,that's a fact.

Bower must be somewherein this city.

We have to find him.

Oh!

Maurice!

What are you doing here?

I heard noises, I thought Primosent someone else

to the restaurant.

What are you doing?

Primo said he knew my dad.

You're talking to Primo?I thought he's in jail.

He is but I think the policemade a mistake.

Maurice, can you cover for me?

You do realize what's gonnahappen if Cassandra finds out

you're still investigating?

Which is exactly why we'renot going to tell her.

Cassandra says that only peopleon coffee commercials

show up without calling first.

But I still don't haveyour number

and I think it's important.

I'm glad you came by.

My dad did work on the case.

Come on in.

Why didn't he ever say anything?

Maybe because he neverfound anything.

Exactly!

If he'd found anything thatmade him think Primo was guilty,

he would've told the police.

Victor Anderson said he'd trustPrimo more than his son,

which could be his way of sayinghe doesn't trust his son at all.

Did you talk to Anderson?

Maybe Gibby killed Rose.

Do you have an off button?

Primo said that Jessica thoughtsomeone was stealing

from the restaurant.

Maybe it was Gibby.

He could be tryingto frame Primo.

Jessica got a call right beforeshe came up to Seattle.

She would probably trustGibby enough to come here.

Wait a second.

Do you realizewhat just happened?

You accepted my idea.

Don't tell anyone, I'll deny it.

Hi.

Hey sweetie.

What is your secret?

Your crumble was delectable.

I put in less sugar.

You did?

Sometimes I change the recipesto make them taste better.

I put less sugar in yourapple pie recipe too.

You're really not supposedto say that.

That is what a good cook does.

I'm gonna try a littleless sugar in mine.

She's perfect.

I promised her I'd invite youto dinner.

Some time.

Any time, really.

Emma knows you're busy,

I told her you might not beable to make it.

Tell Emma I'd be delighted.

Good night.

Good night.

What do we know aboutGibby Anderson?

He's a grown man andhe still lives at home.

Works for his father.

How much time doeshe spend in L.A.?

Well it sounds like he goeswhere his father goes.

Why?

I'm just wondering where hewas the night Rose Brown died.

Hey, we got a hit on Bower'scredit card.

Looks like a motel.

Hey!

Hey.

Gretchen keeps contact numbersfor visitors who come to set.

Can you get me that folder?

No.

Well I just saw it onher desk yesterday.

I wanted to organize the filesand it was a little more

complicated than I expectedso I took them home

so that I could focus.

You can't take files home.

What's going on?

I'm trying to get GibbyAnderson's phone number.

Oh, well why didn't you justsay so?

I know his number.

It's... 347-555-0189.

I think I have a photographicmemory.

No, you don't.

You can't text that number,that could be anybody.

Okay, well you just freakedout some kid who works at like,

Gulper's Coffee.

Billie... whateveryou're planning, don't.

I'm just fact checking,that's all.

I think that takes ona different meaning

when you're talkingabout murder.

I'll be careful,I promise.

Man, it is really hard to stopher when she decides to help.

Who told you I killed Rose?

No one.

It was just an educated guess.

My father would blame anyoneto protect Primo.

Even me.

Did you call Jessicabefore she came to Seattle?

No, she called me.

We had a common interest.

Rose Brown.

Jessica said she could provePrimo killed Rose

but I told her to drop itor Primo would kill her too.

I guess I was right.

If this is true, you haveto tell the police.

Wait.

Call Ian Jackson.

Primo can't hurt you anymore,he's in jail.

You don't know Primo.

He won't be for long.

Police, open up!

Clear.

Bower?

Clear.

Look what I found,Billie's laptop.

Huh?

Don't answer.

Put it down.

Jessica Gilmar had an envelope.

She took it to the policebut they didn't do anything.

Then she called me

asking for Gibby'sphone number

And I knew she had something

and she wouldn't tell mewhat it was.

How did you know what wasin the envelope?

I saw it when she cameto the hotel.

You were at the hotel?

Gibby knows, doesn't he?

What did she find?

The police just tried to call me

which means they're tryingto find me.

You sound like Jessica.

She was always so suspicious.

She told Rose I was pushy.

Rose?

Jessica even told the policethat she thought I killed Rose.

You knew Rose?

We went to church together.

I warned her about Primo.

I could see he was trouble.

She wouldn't listen.

That's why they fired you.

I told you they would come.

Billie! You in there?

Put your hands on your head!

Now!

Yup, that's mine.

I think he was following me.

He was following Jessica too.

Well, we have him in custody.

Do you think he killed them?

I don't know.

But he sure was obsessedwith Rose.

Maybe if he couldn't have her,no one could.

Yeah.

Wait... Ian.

I think that's the woman I sawthat night at the restaurant.

The prep chef?

Yeah.

The night of the explosion.

You're sure?

Yeah, I remember her hair.

I tell you what,

why don't you go homeand let me work on the case?

Because I'm a chef?

Because I don't want youto get hurt.

All right, I'll call youtomorrow about that dinner.

I'm sorry, is thisa personal thing?

Because I thoughtthis was a police station.

D. A. wants to know if we'reready to press charges.

Billie just I.D.'d the womanfrom the bar.

She was the one that setthe fire in the restaurant.

You think she's workingwith Bower?

Or Primo... or Gibby.

She's definitely workingwith someone.

Your father would be proud.

The D. A. said they didn't haveenough evidence to charge me.

You know that Bower episodedefinitely helped.

It sounds like he came unhinged.

I mean I knew he would ifhe found your father's files,

which is the reason he cameto you in the first place.

Hoping to find information.

When did you get out?

About 30 minutes ago.

I drove straight here.

You should've called first.

I have a proposal and I wantedto see your reaction in person.

Be my new business partner.

You can start by runningMax-Million Seattle.

I mean obviouslyyou have a raw talent,

you got me out of jail.

You already havea business partner.

Anderson's been bleeding me dryfor years

holding a phony alibiover my head.

What do you mean phony alibi?

I was home alonethe night Rose died.

Which turns out to bea bad explanation

when you're suspectedof murder.

I had to find someoneto vouch for me.

Anderson wouldn't agree unlesswe restructured the company.

I had to sign away most ofthe profits, 80 - 20.

Very unfair, which is whyI'm getting rid of him.

I know, I know it's anoverwhelming opportunity.

Digest... while I takea much needed shower.

When did you find timeto buy flowers?

I have helpers.

Consider it a possible perk.

You know the morefamous you are,

the less you work.

What in the world...?

Are those from Ian?

Primo.

Primo?

Yes.

He wanted to thank mefor getting him out of jail.

Clearly I am undertoo much stress,

I could've sworn she justsaid she got Primo out of jail.

I think he's workingwith that prep chef,

the one that set that fire.

I saw a picture of her downat the police station.

She was at Primo's hotel.

And I'm pretty surethat Primo just said

they're gonna killVictor Anderson.

My advice is to startworking on the beets.

Where are you going?

TV studio.

I've got some researchI need to do.

I'm, I'm lookingfor Ian Jackson.

This is Gibby Anderson.

Billie Blessingstold me to call,

tell him it's important.

No, don't leave a message.I'll hold.

Ahh!

I've never seen her before.

You were outside the restaurantthe night the dessert exploded.

Primo was outsidethe restaurant.

Well we know you were there.

There's no point in lying.

Your nicotine gum.

Who is she?

I told you, I don't know.

You know, I think I owe youan apology

because these snacks are great.

I'm glad you like them.

I try to notice what people eat.

You like the red chewy sticks.

Which are carcinogenic,by the way.

Hey. Guys, I need help.

Hey, I thought you calledin sick?

Yeah, I need to findthis person.

Primo might be workingwith her.

Oh, Gretchen told me that we'renot allowed to talk about Primo.

She says anyone who mentionshim is fired.

Gretchen always threatensto fire people.

It's her only managementstrategy.

Guys, focus.

Do we have any directoriesfrom the Primo corporation?

Uh, no...

but I'm pretty sure I saw heron the set

the day Primo was arrested.

You did?

Definitely.

See the birthmarkright by her collar bone?

Wow, this is seriously cool.

What was her name?

I don't know.

But I saw her.

Well if she was here,

I got pictures inthe editing suite.

Who next?

Let's try Primo.

You guys still at the jail?

Affirmative.

We just got a 9-1-1 call from the Anderson estate.

Do you always do this?

Only when there's a police raid.

There!

That's not her.That's Anderson's nurse.

She was definitely with Primo.

How do you know?

Well she stood right next to himthe whole time before the show.

We can checksurveillance footage.

Here.

Okay, hold on.

Wow. You must be really goodat poker.

I think they're gonna tryto kill Victor Anderson.

Lucy, I've been looking for you.

Someone has changed allthe folders in my office.

They have... colours.

That was me, I'm sorry.

Hmm.

It's brilliant.

Really?

Yes, I want you to do itfor the whole studio.

What about Primo?

What was that?

Uh, she was just askingwhat happened

and I was about to remind her

that that topic is strictlyoff limits.

Yes, it is.Let's go.

Come on Ian, answer the phone.

I was giving Mr. Anderson hismedicine and I heard a noise.

I didn't tell him becausehis health is delicate,

I didn't want him to get upset.

Call an ambulance.

Ian's not here.

Do you know where he is?

No.

Well there must be some wayto reach him.

Not that I know of.

Joey, do you remember whenyou told me you thought Primo

was guilty?

Well I think he might tryto kill someone.

I have to get a messageto Ian.

Billie, I'm under strict ordersnot to talk to you

about this case.

I understand.

So, now what?

Wait here.

As soon as Ian comes,

let him know that Primo'sworking with Anderson's nurse

and he needs to get toAnderson's house right away.

Okay. Where are you going?

Anderson's house.

Why, why would you do that?

Gibby told me Primo tried tokill his father once before.

Yeah but you can't go thereby yourself.

I'm just going there to stalluntil Ian gets there.

She won't do anythingwhile I'm there.

No, no way.

I'm going with you.

No, if you show up thenshe's gonna be suspicious.

Besides, who's gonna giveIan the message?

I'm really not liking this plan.

Do you have a better one?

I'm Detective Jackson.

I tried calling you.

Somebody hurt you.

Do you know who it was?

I didn't see.

I think it was Primo.

Jessica Gilmar had a document.

I told Billie.

Primo must've seen me.

Copy that, thanks.

Primo checked out of his hotel.

He told the desk clerk he wasin a hurry

because he needed to catcha plane.

Where's Anderson?

Wait here.

What?

What could possibly beso important?

Jessica came to you.

You knew Primo was stealingfrom the restaurant.

Primo didn't stealfrom the restaurant.

I did.

Why would you stealfrom your own company?

You forget it was a long,long time ago.

We didn't even have a company.

I put all of my moneyinto that restaurant.

Primo was taking mostof the profits, wasn't he?

He was the talent.

You were just the backer.

That was his position,not mine.

So you took what youthought you deserved...

Rose found out andyou killed her.

The alibi wasn't for Primo,it was for you.

It turned out to be quiteadvantageous.

Primo was so afraidof going to jail,

he gave me everything.

In business we callthat a win - win.

But if you protected him before,why are you framing him now?

Especially when it could ruinyour company.

I don't care about the companyanymore.

My investment did very well.

I would like nothing more thanto see Primo go up in flames.

So you're getting back at himfor putting you in that chair?

Pity.

By the time the police get hereyou'll be dead.

And all of your clever insightwill be lost forever.

They know where I am.

I don't think so.

Otherwise you wouldn't be hereall by yourself trying to stall.

Hey Joey.

I need you to check the airport,see if Primo Maxx

is on any flight manifests.

Okay.

Listen, I know we're notsupposed to talk to Billie.

Okay, she was...she was here before.

She seemed really upset.

She'd seen Primo, said he mightbe planning to kill somebody.

I think he's workingwith Anderson's nurse.

You're involved too?

Get in.

Where are we going?

This isn't a bus tour.Get in!

Why are we doing this?

Stop talking!

Get in the car.

We need all units atthe Anderson house now!

Billie?

What are you gonna do, shoot me?

It can't be far if you're not taking the freeway.

Check the towers, see ifyou can locate her.

I go to that farm standall the time.

The owners know me.

They're heading north.

Why are you taking me over the bridge?

I said stop talking!

Let's go.

I know where they're going.

Stop!

Don't move.

You can't shoot.

You need somethingwith Primo's prints on it.

Not this time.

This time Primo sent oneof his volunteers.

Maybe the same personwho came after Gibby.

They can shoot.

I called the police...from the car.

They heard everything.

If you kill me they'll knowexactly who it was.

I'll take my chances.

I don't like the odds.

Drop it.

Put your hands up.

Are you all right?

Yeah, I think so.

You got here pretty fast.

Well... I'm trying to workon my follow through.

I'd say it's pretty good.

You underestimatedyour opponent.

Ah, don't worry. So did I.

What a heartless man.

Imagine, he killed thosetwo poor girls

and just for the money.

It was a lot of money.

I can't believe heattacked his own son.

Well Anderson madea point to say

he wasn't tryingto kill Gibby,

he was just trying to teach hima lesson.

Hmm. Muddle parent.

Did Primo put Andersonin that wheelchair?

Off the record?

It was Gibby.

The son?

Anderson was driving Primo's car

and Gibby probably cutthe brake lines.

He meant to kill Primo.

He thought Primo killed Rose andmight also hurt his father too.

Muddle parent, muddle child.

Anderson won't press chargesso he'll go to jail

and Gibby will take overthe company.

And Primo's only crime was beingan extremely unpleasant man.

Unpleasant but not coming here.

I read in Eating Seattlehe decided not to open

his restaurant here,said the city is tainted.

Hey, what about thatweird detective guy?

Bower?

Well the best we could tell, hewas pretty broken up about Rose.

It was really eatingaway at him.

Speaking of eating...

who's ready to try some ofour new signature dessert?

Emma Jackson, would you liketo do the honours?

Certainly!

Oh.

Ah!

Wow.

That smells so good.

Now that is magnificent.

Apparently the secretis less sugar.

No, I think the secret is love.

Oh, here we go.

You made this?

Smell that, Ian.

Mmm!
