(Male announcer)
In New York City's war on crime,

the worst criminal offenders
are pursued

by the detectives
of the major case squad.

These are their stories.

It's Sylvia Rhodes here
with another night

of rock 'n' talk.

Play the music.

Sylvia left me a message.

She wants me to go over
to her apartment.

Now?

I'm over that bitch.

Meet me later.

And now my special guest...
[Grunts]

The one and only...

The music legend...

The activist.

You love him.

I love him.

Jordie Black.

[Gasps] Hi, baby.

How are you?

I missed you.

Where you been?

I'm beat, Tara.

I need to lie down.
Yeah, okay.

Let me get these.

(Rhodes) So, Jordie,
you been busy

savin' the world
these last few years.

Yeah, I've been given
so much.

I'm just tryin'
to give back.

I know,
and you really have, man.

You've done so much.

I noticed every little bit.
(Jordie) Thank you.

(Rhodes) But we're here tonight
to talk about your new CD

and the reunion tour
with twisted strands.

The guys
are really kickin', man.

And we got a new guitarist.

Anybody I know?

Well, as a matter of fact...

Come on out.

Yo, mom.

Milo?
My son is your guitarist?

Mom, pick up the phone.

Pick up!

(Jordie) Chill.

I'll take good care
of him.

Mom, pick up the phone!

My friends,
we been through a lot.

But you know what I say.

When life hits you with crap,
hit back and rock on.

I'll see you next week.

Sylvia Rhodes.
Rock n' roll promoter.

Hosted a late night
public access show.

New York City icon.

(Logan) She lived alone?

(Campest)
mm-hmm.

(Logan) Who found the body?

Her son, Milo.

$4 million Tribeca loft.

No doorman.

No surveillance video.

(Wheeler)
neighbors hear anything?

Great.

It looks like
she was workin' from home.

VCR?

I didn't know
they still had these things.

Any signs of a robbery?

There were footprints
from her son's sneakers.

(Wheeler) No forced entry?

Wallet with cards
and cash in her purse.

Jewelry, silver untouched.

Okay, it feels like she was hit
with one of our favorites

and that would be
the heavy blunt instrument.

Any ideas, Wheeler?

She was probably standing here
opening the champagne.

The foil's off.

The wire's loose.

Gets hit in the back
of the head.

Yeah, she polished
off the first bottle.

Was going for the second.

Yeah, foil, wire, cork.

And no bottle.

Maybe the first bottle
was used as a murder weapon,

and the killer
took it with him.

Campesi, where's her son?

At the neighbors'.

Some rock and roll couple.

Jordie and Tara Black.

The Jordie Black,
lead singer of twisted strands?

(Campest) He's got gold
records on the wall

and a wife in a black bustier.

What are you,
a fan, Wheeler?

(Wheeler) You're not?

Sightless in a savage land.

I had all their albums
in high school.

Ooh.

I came by this morning.

Brought mom
her favorite bialys.

She didn't answer,
so I let myself in.

She was just lyin' there.

I stepped in her blood.

Here, Milo, drink this.

You don't live with your mother,
but you still have keys?

I moved out,
like, a year ago.

Anybody else
have a set of keys?

Her assistant, uh...

Joanne?
Ava.

(Milo) Mom burned
through a lot of 'em.

She probably
used a temp agency, right?

When was the last time
you saw your mother alive?

Taped her cable show
two days ago.

Jordie.

(Tara) These are detectives
Logan and Wheeler.

Jordie Black.

We know.

So you were in bed asleep
when Milo found the body?

We both were.

This is horrible.

Sylvia was a real friend.

How long have you
lived next door?

(Jordie) Three years. Yeah.

But we go way back.

She was the promoter
of our first days on the green.

When you opened
for blue oyster cult.

That's gotta be
before your time.

[Milo sobbing]

You all right, buddy?

I can't believe this.

After everything
she lived through.

She lived through
a plane crash

when I was, like,
three years old.

Dad died.

Everyone else.

She was the only one
who walked out alive.

I just thought
she'd live forever.

So, Rodgers,
she got her head bashed in?

In layman's terms.

I put time of death,
between 10:00 and midnight.

And, yes, it could've been
a champagne bottle.

How drunk was she?

Very.

.17

not that I'd blame her.

She's been through hell.

Chemo, radiation,
a lobectomy of the left lung.

I'd say lung cancer.

Tough lady.

I recognize her from TV.

She used to have
a public access show.

Rock 'n' talk.

It aired the night she died.
Huh.

Thought I’d
walk this over.

Captain.

Temp agency located
Sylvia's assistant, Ava Reese.

Ava isn't here.

She probably needed
to get away for the weekend.

You know where she went?

No.

Did something
happen to her?

We just wanna make sure
she's all right.

Is this about her boss,
Sylvia?

I saw it on the news.
It's awful.

Ava is such
a bad luck magnet.

You mind if I just
take a look around here?

Oh, uh, sure.

(Wheeler) This your place?

(Chia) Yeah, I'm on the lease,
but roommates are allowed.

(Wheeler) And Ava's bad luck.

She have trouble paying rent?

(Chia) She tries to.

But last month
her dad lost a kidney,

and then her boyfriend Ralph
was killed by a truck.

So you sleep on the couch,
and Ava gets the bedroom?

Oh, it's not so bad.
The bedroom's really small.

I'm gonna take a little peek
in here, okay?

Oh, okay.

This bureau yours or Ava's?

Oh, it's mine,
but she uses it.

Oh. I'm gonna take a look
in the drawer, all right?

We're just worried
about her safety.

I respect Ava's privacy.

But sometimes I take
the bed on weekends.

When she's away?

(Wheeler)
you know where she goes?

(Chia) Atlantic city, Philly.

Look at this.

Is this your roommate?

Yeah.

But I don't understand.
It's her picture with my name.

So Sylvia's assistant
is a bad roommate

and a con artist?

With a history
of identity theft.

Her real name
is Bianca Lopez.

Her first offense,
she got time served.

Okay, and the boyfriend
who was supposedly

killed by a truck...

Ralph Cenzio...

Just got outta
Rikers last week.

Missing grifter with an ex-con
boyfriend and a dead boss.

You said Sylvia's credit cards
were in her wallet.

This girl's a pro.

She figured
if she took just one,

nobody would notice.

Thanks.

Oh, and don't forget the gas.

Here we go.

A check for 10 grand
cashed this afternoon.

Credit card charges
starting later.

Car rental, liquor store,
Victoria's secret, gas station.

Oh, yeah, Hackensack,
Parsippany, Stanhope.

All on the 80 west.

What are you doin' tonight?

Skype session
with my fiance.

A what?

Video call.
He's still in London.

Well, he'll have
to start without you.

Road trip, Wheeler.

Poconos, baby.

[Giggles]

Miss Lopez, NYPD.
We wanna talk to you.

Put it in.

Go, go.
Go, go, go, go!

Police!
Nobody move!

Bianca Lopez, Ralph Cenzio,

get dressed,
you're under arrest.

What the hell?
We didn't do anything.

For a dead guy,
you look pretty healthy.

We didn't do anything.

(Logan)
come on, let's go, folks.

Party's over.

Up, let's go!

Get dressed.

Okay, so I used
Sylvia's credit card.

It was like a loan.

How'd you get the card?

She gave it to me
a couple of weeks ago.

Uh-huh. Then why'd
we find your fingerprints

all over Sylvia's wallet?

I'm her assistant.

I go through her stuff a lot.

All right,
so what happened, Bianca?

Sylvia found out
that you were on the con,

she threatened
to call the police,

and then you killed her?

It wasn't me.

Sylvia's phone records show

that the last person
she called was you.

Lady was damn lonely.

She bugged me
all the time.

So after she
called you on Friday,

is that when you went
over to her apartment?

And before you tell us
yet another lie,

your little
ugly boyfriend, Ralph?

He already told us
that you were there.

Ralph's a liar
and a skank.

Could be.

But we have
his signed statement,

and that's all
a jury needs.

And you won't exactly do
time served for murder.

Oh, no, you're gonna
do the whole sentence, honey.

25 to life.

Okay, Sylvia asked me
to set her VCR

for her stupid show.

So I went over,
but she was already dead.

So you just decided to take
advantage of the situation

and go through her wallet.

That bitch owed me.

What time did you get there?

I don't know.

12:30?

Sylvia called at 9:45.

It took you
almost three hours?

I ignored her message.

I was with Ralph
getting tats.

Now I gotta
get this removed.

Look, I didn't kill her.

Yeah, but you don't seem
too sorry that she's dead.

Yeah, well,
I'm not the only one.

Her son hated her too.

He told you that?

He didn't have to.

She'd always want him
to come over,

but he'd always
be next door.

With Jordie
and Tara Black?

Yeah. They fought
about it all the time.

You know, Milo was
with Sylvia Friday night.

Why don't you ask him?
Maybe he killed her.

How do you know
they were together?

I made the reservation.

Toniolo's.

Bianca's tattoo parlor
just confirmed her alibi.

She was there past midnight.

Rodgers puts
time of death before 12:00.

Let her stew in holding until
the D.A. sorts out the charges.

She may not be a killer,
but she's a thief and a liar.

She didn't lie about Milo.

The maître d'"
at Toniolo's confirms"

he and Sylvia
had dinner Friday night.

I served Sylvia many years.

When she had the chemo,
I sent over ravioli

with butter and sage.

La sua morte
mi ha spezzato il cuore.

Her dying broke your heart.

Si.

Bella Donna.

We heard she was here
Friday night with her son?

It's a pity.

Wonderful woman
got stuck with that boy.

He's mal educato.

Well, Milo seemed pretty
shaken by her death.

It's too late.

He lived off her money
and treated her like garbage.

My child talked
to me like that...

You heard him
raise his voice?

Right before dessert,
she puts a paper on the table.

He screams like a crazy idiot,
throws it at her, and walks out.

What were they arguing
about?

All I know, Sylvia was upset.

I gave her a nice glass
of lemony Prosecco

to calm her down.

What time did Sylvia
leave the restaurant?

9:30?

The receipt would show.

Should I get it?

Please.

It's funny how Milo didn't
mention their last supper.

Yeah, wonder what else
he didn't mention.

Milo, NYPD.

Well, kid could be a danger
to himself, right?

Hello?

Milo?

Anyone in here?

Renovated condo on Stanton.

Thanks, mom.

It looks like
she may have cut him off.

Overdrawn accounts,
collection notices.

Milo hasn't paid a bill
for months.

That's 'cause he's
too busy gettin' high.

Kid had the fun-time pharmacy.

Hey, and something
in common with you, Wheeler.

He's a fan of Jordie Black.

[Noise from the bedroom]

That door was open
a minute ago.

Hey, Milo,
you in there?

Don't shoot, don't shoot.
I'm a lawyer.

Don't tempt me.
Get outta there.

Bo Levy, family attorney.

You have a search warrant
for the premises?

Do you?

I don't need one,
I have keys.

Oh, does Milo know that?
Kid's not here.

And you didn't try
to hide his meds.

So what were
you lookin' for?

I was checking up on him.

Concerned after the death
of his mother.

A nice young man,
but in and out of rehab.

A bit unstable.

So you were goin'
through his closet

after his mother
was murdered?

Tampering with evidence,
is that a felony

or a misdemeanor, Wheeler?

Felony.

I didn't tamper
with anything.

Come on, let's go.

The tombs are nice
and ripe right now.

Not to violate client
confidentiality,

but I was looking for

some recently revised
legal documents.

Legal documents,
like a will?

The one Sylvia showed Milo
Friday night?

You found it?

Is it signed?

What, did Sylvia get tired
of funding Milo's drug habit

and find herself
a new beneficiary?

Yeah.

I need that

to protect my client's
final wishes.

We don't have it.

But at least we now know
what we're all lookin' for.

After you, counselor.

We'll lock up.

Go ahead.

Milo's cell still goes
straight to voice mail.

Let's go back
to Sylvia's loft.

If we can't find the will,
that means Milo did.

What do you mean
you can't meet me?

I need a fix.

No, I don't wanna wait.
I don't care.

Anything?

Bar receipts from
Max's Kansas City.

Hey, you know, that used
to be a happenin' place.

It's an expression.

Groovy.

I don't think
she's thrown away

a piece of paper
since 1972.

Hey, Bo didn't lie.

Hand delivered on Friday
from his firm.

Empty.

So Sylvia takes a copy
with her to dinner,

shows it to Milo.

He throws it in her face.

She takes it... (Jordie) Help!
Help!

We found Milo passed out
in the hall.

We called 911!
They're on the way!

Can anyone do CPR?

See if he's breathing.

Come on, baby.

Milo!
Milo!

Oxycodone, Hydrocodone,
Temazepam, Zolpidem.

Multiple doctors
and multiple pharmacies.

The kid worked the system.

You think he was trying
to kill himself?

I think
it was just stupid.

So he'll recover?

His liver enzymes
are through the roof.

We'll need to keep him
under observation

until he stabilizes.

Other than that,
he'll live... this time.

This time.

Suicide?
No.

Look, I was upset.

About my mom and stuff.

It must be hard.

The last time you saw her
at dinner you had a big fight?

Yeah, the whole
restaurant heard.

Look, I shoulda said somethin'.

I thought it'd look bad.

It does look bad.
After dinner where'd you go?

Home.

Alone?
Yeah.

So we can't verify.

Wait, are you sayin'
I'm a suspect now?

That's whack, dude.

My mom was high-strung,

and I'm obviously
not the perfect son.

So we fought, yeah.

But I'm lost without her.

I'm like an orphan now.

A rich orphan.

We know your mom
changed her will.

She wasn't gonna do that.

Not for real.

She didn't even sign it.

Are you sure about that?

Yes.

Look, when I found her
in the morning,

the will was lying
on her desk.

So I took it.

It was stupid.

I was a little high.

We want that will.

Is this comin' from
my mom's lawyer?

Don't believe a word
that dirt bag says.

He claims he's
looking out for you.

Bo looks out for Bo.

He's been stealin'
from my mom for years.

I told her that Friday night.

You think it was my mom's idea
to change the will?

If she'd have signed that,
Bo's cut was huge.

The kid admits
he stole an unsigned will

off his dead mother's desk,
and he's making me the bad guy?

All I did was follow
Sylvia's request.

We read the changes.

You set it up so Milo couldn't
touch his trust

until he was 40 years old,
and you're the sole trustee.

That way he couldn't swallow
or snort the whole estate.

It's common.

Is it also common
for the lawyer/trustee

to charge 10% a year?

Perfectly legal.

Where were you Friday night?

I was in alpine, New Jersey,
bailing out a client.

Can't say who.

Hey, Bo,
buy me this one.

Okay, sweetie,
I'll be right there.

Look, changing the will
wasn't my idea.

It was all on Sylvia.

The day before she died,
Thursday, she called me,

ranting, saying she had
to stop Milo.

Stop him from doing what,
drugs?

(Levy) Go easy, honey.

Milo was ruining his life.

She had to cut him off
to save him.

That's all Sylvia
kept saying.

I have to deal
with my client.

Thursday.

That was the day Sylvia
taped her last show.

With Milo and Jordie Black
as her guests.

So we're here tonight
to talk about your new cd

and the reunion tour
with twisted strands.

(Jordie) The guys are
really kickin', man.

And we got a new guitarist.

Anybody I know?

Well, as a matter of fact...

Come on out!

Yo, mom.

Milo?
My son is your guitarist?

Sit on down.

That look...

It's how I felt
when my oldest told me

he wanted to live
with his mother.

Check this out.

[Fast-forwarding]

Go on tour
with Jordie Black?

Yeah, it's, like... ma, it's
like my dream come true.

It's a hell of a way
to let me know, fellas.

Don't worry, Syl.

I'll take good care
of him.

Right?
yeah.

She didn't want this guy
anywhere near her son,

much less goin'
on tour with him.

What do we know about Jordie

other than he once
was famous

for playing guitar
and abusing drugs?

Well, Jordie's cleaned up
the last few years.

Cleaned up?
What'd he used to look like?

He works hard.
He contributes to causes.

That doesn't explain
Sylvia's reaction.

There must've been somethin'
else she knew about him.

That got her killed.

Talk to Jordie
and Tara separately.

She's been the wife
of a rock star for 20 years.

She could write a book.

I'll talk to the wife.

Let's make Wheeler's day
and let her talk to Jordie.

[Mellow rock music]

?

♪ Look to the east

?to find your brother

?look to the west

?to help one another

?open your doors

?the need is everywhere

he hasn't partied in years.

Well, Sylvia knew Jordie
was sober.

Maybe she was worried
about Milo's drug use.

Jordie was really
trying to help.

Milo could be a handful.

I can't imagine raising
a teenage boy.

No father.

So you two
never had kids, huh?

Jordie Black getting up at
5:00 A.M. with a screaming baby?

I don't think so.

Besides, he still needs
to be taken care of himself.

And you do that for him?

Yes, I do.

For 20 years,
since we met backstage.

Then I'd say your husband's
a lucky man.

Aw, well, I've been
on the road with him

for a long time.

And kids just don't fit
our lifestyle.

Well, it looks like
Jordie found time for Milo.

Milo really
looks up to you.

He has posters of you
up in his apartment.

Does he?

And Sylvia knew you were
an influence on him.

Maybe she didn't trust
that you were really clean?

Well, in the old days
I probably hurt her

like I hurt all my friends.

It's a blur, you know?

I'm just tryin'
to make amends, you know?

Jordie's completely committed
to his sobriety.

His only vices now are his
double espressos and his cigs.

Black Shag Tobacco.

He buys it in London.

Long way to go for a smoke.

Jordie would travel
the world for his drugs.

Amsterdam, Colombia,

Thailand for smack.

His last trip to Thailand?

He was the spokesman
for S.A.Y.F.E...

Sparing all youth from
exploitation.

Now instead of scoring dope
in Bangkok,

he's saving children's lives.

?we are one child

?we are one life

♪we're in this time♪

?to make it right

?we are one child

?

He's clean, sober,
very open about his past.

He's all about redemption.

Scratch a preacher.

Find a sinner.

And the vice they
rail against the loudest.

What group did you say
he was spokesman for?

S.A.Y.F.E., an organization
that protects children

from abuse by adults.

And Sylvia didn't want him
around her son?

Come on, that's not
what this is about.

I worked with Bernie Kerik,
Eliot Spitzer.

If I was wrong about them,
you could be wrong about Jordie.

Find out why he's so
involved in this cause.

Jordie Black
was a dedicated advocate

for exploited children
around the world.

We appreciated his service.

Excuse me,
was a dedicated advocate?

He stepped down
three months ago.

After his trip
to Thailand?

There was no mention
of that in the press.

When we find a replacement,
we'll make an announcement.

Wait a minute, I mean,
he just stepped down?

That seems strange.

I mean, from what we heard,

he was very dedicated
to this organization.

It was a mutual decision
with the board.

I'm sorry I can't
be of more help.

Well, you can be
of more help, actually.

Because these little phrases,

"step down",
"mutual decision"...

I mean, that's all code
for damage control.

So what you need to do
is tell us right now

what Jordie did.

No charges were filed.

I'm sure the board wants
to keep this misunderstanding

private to protect the girl.

Girl?

It was boys.

Teenagers.

As you can imagine,
we had no choice.

We had to relieve Mr. Black
of his spokesman duties.

Wow.

There.

Are you feeling all right?

Yeah, it's just...
I'm a little tired.

Yeah, I bet you are.

You just lie down,
and I'll take care of you.

Jordie Black
was held by Bangkok police

for four days
on an expired visa?

Seems extreme.

Well, that was
the official reason.

And unofficially?

You wanna tell him?

Or are you still
his biggest fan, Wheeler?

According
to the state department,

Jordie had two teenage boys
in his hotel room.

He was making a videotape,
asking sexual questions.

And no charges were filed?

Not after Bo Levy flew
to Thailand and fixed it.

That's confirmed
by the state also.

Bo Levy, Sylvia's lawyer?

Yep, that guy
pops up everywhere.

Okay.

So Jordie has a thing
for teenage boys.

Doing the math,
we infer that he was having

an inappropriate
relationship with Milo,

and somehow Sylvia found out.

(Logan) Right.

Jordie tells her

that he's
takin' Milo on tour.

She confronts him,
threatens to expose him.

He snaps, bing,
bang, she's dead.

There are some leaps here.

Wheeler, he got clean.
He got sober.

But then he found
a new vice.

Teenage boys.

So it goes.

(Ross)
Milo still in the hospital?

(Logan)
nope, released last night.

If they do
have a relationship,

Milo will do everything
he can to protect Jordie.

Tread carefully.

Been clean since I got home.

Just practicin'.

Stayin' outta trouble.

How'd you get home
last night?

Jordie picked me up.

(Wheeler)
he sounds like a good friend.

You two spend a lotta
time together?

Gives me guitar lessons,
yeah.

You got a lotta guitars
in here.

You mind if
I take a look at 'em?

Sure.

Acoustic and electric.

You two play together?

Yeah, we jam.

Sometimes Jordie sings.

We're gettin' ready
for the tour.

What does this have
to do with my mom?

Well, we think your mother
may have been

worried about you and Jordie.

Look, my mom
didn't really like

most of what I did.

It's just always how we were.

Black Shag Tobacco.

Look, I know
I shouldn't smoke.

Let's take it one vice
at a time, shall we?

Where do you get this?

Anywhere.

No, Milo, you gotta
go to London to get that.

Whose are these?

Look, some girl
left 'em here.

I don't see any lipstick marks.
What's her name?

Don't remember.

It's okay, Milo.

I think we know
who smokes Black Shag.

Okay.

They're Jordie's.

Did he leave them when he
dropped you off last night?

Must have.

Under the bed?

You want to tell us
what's been going on?

Look, I'm not gay,
I just...

I'm not gay.

Those photos are
from Milo's MySpace page.

He sent me the link.

Yeah, he told us.

Now, some of these photos
are of Milo

when he was 12.

13.

It's not what you think.

These pictures, they're
bookmarked on your computer

for easy access.

I'm confused.

Why are you looking
at half-naked pictures

of your neighbor's kid?

Detectives, my client
is here of his own accord,

willing to cooperate.

After we got a warrant
for his laptop.

Found pictures
of young boys.

Those photos
are for publicity.

Milo's going on tour.

There are t-shirts,
posters...

What about these photos?

I was doing research
for a rock opera

about abused children.

In their bathing suits?

They're kids!
The hotel had a pool.

What exactly is your
relationship with Milo?

I'm a mentor to him.
And I told you that.

In the bedroom?

(Levy)
detective, you're out of line.

You know what,
counselor?

I liked you better
when you were in the closet.

Let's get to business.

Friday night, where were you,
what were you doing?

I was home
watching Sylvia's show.

And before that?

I was out
with my N.A. sponsee.

We'll need a name.

I can't give you that.

That's what
the "a" is for.

Anonymous.

We'll need a name.

I didn't kill Sylvia.

She was a good friend
to me and Tara.

I don't know who
my husband's sponsee is.

Jordie takes the program
very seriously.

So he could've been lying
about who he was with,

where he was?

No, no way.

That's the old Jordie.
Not anymore.

You know, I don't understand.
Why can't I see him?

Are you arresting him
for something?

(Wheeler) We'd like to.

We can't confirm his alibi
for Friday night.

An alibi?

What, for Sylvia's murder?

Why would he murder Sylvia?

You don't know?

About Jordie and Milo?

[Sighs]

What are you talking about?

Well, let's just say that

Jordie was
a hands-on mentor to Milo.

[Gasps]

Did Milo tell you that?

He's lying.

Why would he do that?

Because I think
he killed his mother.

What?

Okay, look.

I lied before.

We like Milo.

I was trying
to protect him.

But, you know,
in our building

you can hear everything
that goes on next door.

And the night
Sylvia was killed?

Sylvia and Milo
were fighting.

I couldn't hear every single
thing they were saying.

But Milo was screaming.
He was furious.

And then I heard a crash
and then just the TV.

What time
did this all happen?

Well, it was while
Jordie was out.

So around 10:30.

Why would I kill my mother?

All I ever wanted
was her approval.

And now I'll
never get that.

We have a witness
who says you killed her.

What, they were
in the apartment with me?

They're lying.

You know what,
I have to go, okay?

I'm scattering my mother's
ashes in an hour.

You have
to let me do that.

Milo.

Were you
and Sylvia arguing

about your relationship
with Jordie?

I'm not gay.

Why did Jordie want you
to go on tour with him?

Promised I wouldn't say.

You try to protect Jordie,

and you're goin' down
for murder.

It's as simple as that.

Truth is, he can't play.

He's got somethin' wrong
with his hands.

All the drugs.

How bad?

Can barely make a grip.

Can't even light a match.

(Milo) But you can't
let anyone know.

So there's no way
he was rolling

those cigarettes
for himself.

Did you roll them
for him, Milo?

No, look,
it's not like that.

So the tobacco and rolling
papers were... Tara's?

You weren't sleeping
with Jordie.

You were sleeping
with Tara.

Don't tell Jordie.

Please.

I only let you think
the cigarette butts were his

'cause of Tara and I.

No one can know about that.

But your mother found out.

She tried to make me stop it.

Said she'd cut me
out of the will.

I said no.

Tara and I are in love.

This just came in
from Jordie's manager.

A score and libretto
of his rock opera.

It's about an abused boy.

So Jordie was
telling the truth

about the kids in Thailand
and about Milo.

My apologies, Wheeler.

We still don't know
what happened.

Tara was having an affair
with Milo.

How does Sylvia
end up dead?

Yeah, Sylvia,
she's a real piece of work,

and she was drunk.

She might've threatened
to tell Jordie about the affair.

(Ross) So who killed Sylvia?

Tara, Milo, or Jordie
when he found out?

(Logan) if he found out.

Tara has no life
without Jordie Black.

He disappears,
she doesn't exist.

Let the kid go scatter
his mother's ashes.

Jordie and Tara
will be there.

Makes it a good time
to find out

what Jordie knew.

(Milo) My mother deserved
a much longer life

and a more loving son.

I'm gonna try and be
that son from now on.

Hang in there, Milo.

Okay, Milo,
the ashes are scattered.

We've gotta
take you back.

Detectives,
give the kid a break.

He'd never hurt his mom.

That's not what
your wife told us.

What's he talkin' about?

She gave Milo up.

She said she heard him
through the wall

screaming at Sylvia
before Sylvia was killed.

She was dead
when I got there.

Why are you saying that?

Tara.

I should've told you,
I'm sorry.

Let's let them
take care of this, baby.

This is not our business anymore.
This is crazy.

I'll get you a lawyer.

We'll get this
straightened out.

Just so you know,
if Milo's lawyer is smart,

he'll use your affair
with him as part of the defense.

There is no affair.

I told them that.

No affair?

We found Black Shag Tobacco

and rolled cigarette butts
at Milo's.

Not mine you didn't.

(Wheeler)
don't you roll your own?

So if someone was hand-rolling
cigarettes at Milo's

and it wasn't you,
it was your wife?

I may have gone
to Milo's once or twice.

I may have
rolled a cigarette.

(Logan) In his bed?

'Cause we found the rolled
cigarette butts under the bed.

Milo, tell them
they're wrong.

I'm sorry.

They made me...

They made me tell them.

Your wife is sleeping
with your protege.

He's a kid.

How could you
do this to me?

Baby, it was a mistake.

It was a mistake.
Why?

To get back at me?
No, not to get back at you.

No, I wanted you
to look at me... to see me.

I thought if I slept with Milo,
that I'd feel sexy again,

that you would want me,
that you would notice me.

So you betrayed me?

No, I didn't betray you.

All I've ever wanted
was you... you!

I gave up everything.

Everything... I gave up my life,
having kids, everything.

Does that sound right,
Jordie?

It was mutual.

Mutual?

Yeah.

I had an abortion for you
19 years ago

because Sylvia told me it was
the only way I could keep you.

That's enough.

And when I was crying
on Sylvia's shoulder,

she had a little secret
of her own.

Tara, stop!
Didn't she?

(Jordie) Tara, stop.

And then you wanted
to live next door to him.

That's enough!
I betrayed you?

What did you and Sylvia do to me?
Shut up!

(Wheeler) Hey, hey! Shut up now!

Hey, take your hands
off your wife right now.

You had a son with Sylvia,
and you never told me.

You never told me!

What, were you two laughing
at me the whole time

all these years?

I'm sorry, Milo.

Your mom didn't
want you to know.

I don't understand.

Someone wanna tell him?

I want to tell him.

They've been lying to you,

to everyone.

To you, to me.

Let me introduce you
to your father,

because he didn't
have the guts

to tell you himself.

And Sylvia finally told you
the truth on Friday night,

didn't she?

She came over.

She was angry and drunk,
as usual.

She needed help with the VCR.

So I went over there.

Then she confronted you
about the affair.

I told her I was gonna
end it with Milo.

But you know Sylvia.

She wouldn't let it go.

She kept going at me.

She kept going at me.

She said I was such an idiot.

I was such an idiot
that I didn't even know

I was sleeping
with my own stepson.

And so... and so
she kept drinking,

and she... she wouldn't shut up.

She just wouldn't shut up.

And then you picked up
the bottle, and you hit her.

I... she...

Tara.

She took my whole life from me.
You were my whole life, Jordie.

She took that from me,
so I took hers.

So now we have to take you.
I did.

Let's go.
Tara Black, you're under arrest.

(Tara)
wait... Jordie?

Jordie!

Wait a minute!
Wait a minute!

Jordie!

I'm sorry, Milo.

You know, the secret,
your...

Your mom was just trying
to protect you.

It's all right, Milo.

It's gonna be all right.

It's gonna be okay.
