[instrumental music]

Do you have anything else
planned for me today?

Well, if you'd just
listened to me.

I don't need you to manage me.

[man 1] Hi, guys.

[instrumental music]

[bin door opens]

[music continues]

Here you go.

You deserve it.

About time, right?

Hm.

[crunch]

[tense music]

[man groans]

[coughing]

[coughing]

You okay?

[choking]

[coughs]

[body thuds]

[choking]

Help! My husband,
isn't breathing!

[Kate]Okay, murder junkies.
What did she do wrong?

Intentional allergy attack.

Well, I guess the classics
never go out of style.

But, honey, throwing out
the murder weapon

at the scene of the crime?

Hmm, should've known better.

Now, let's look
at my top ten rules.

Number one, make a plan.

Okay, I'll give her that.

But she really
flubbed the number two,

"Appearances are everything."

Her and her husband were seen
bickering by neighbors...

No alibi, rule five.

But I guess she did try
to hide the murder weapon,

she just didn't do it
very well.

Bad girl!

[scoffs] Now, the police were
on to her right away.

And she was combative,
not cooperating.

And her best friend

gave an interview that
spilt all of her secrets.

Hey, lady, you gotta keep
your friends close

and you got to control
the narrative.

Some "best friend"
you got there.

And that is how
her case was solved,

so learn from
her mistakes, people.

Now, this wraps up today's case.

And a reminder... my first
true crime docu-series

starts streaming soon.

And it will be filled
with tales

of marriage and mayhem.

More details to come. So make
sure you like and subscribe.

[button clicks]

As always, I'm Kate K.

This is
"Good Wife's Guide to Murder."

Slay safe.

[instrumental music]

[Kate] Gotcha!
[Matt] Oh-oh!

[chuckling] You scared me.

[chuckles] Okay, well,
next time,

I'll announce my arrival
with a bullhorn.

-Or some flares?
-Oh!

Mmm, are you making that...
blackberry IPA again this year?

You bet. I know how crazy you
went for it last year.

Hm-hm.

Mmm.

What time are Peter and Lenore
coming over?

6:00, I think. Though,
she might have to work late.

Hmm. What do you think
about kiwi? Mango?

You could do a entire
fruit theme.

Oh, yeah? Taking advantage
of Massachusetts'

lush mango orchards?

[scoffs] You never take my
suggestions seriously.

I'm the craft brewer, you're the
producer/influencer.

-Let's stay in our lanes.
-Huh.

[solemn music]

See, how it's more of a twist?

We're not making
toothpaste, babe.

Doesn't have to
be complete mush.

Oh, thank God
we're not making toothpaste.

-Could you imagine green teeth?
-You'd still be gorgeous.

[Kate chuckles]

-Hey.
-Hey.

The station was crazy today.

And since I've been
promoted to sergeant,

the paperwork never ends.

I just wanted to drop this off

before I head next
door to change.

I'm making your favorite,
rack of lamb.

Uh... Kate.

You told me
to bring chardonnay.

Oh, well, I thought
we were having salmon.

-Lenore hates fish.
-Okay.

Well, just leave it on the
counter and we'll get to it.

-All right.
-Thank you.

Where's Peter?

-Oh, he's out for his run.
-Ah.

Lunch break weights,
6:00 p.m. run.

I thought he might
take a night off,

but Peter's a machine.

That reminds me,
I need to call the bar,

make sure Lisa and Javier
have it all under control.

No. It's games night.

You need to learn
to trust your staff,

and let them run Mendaville
for one night.

Okay, fine. You, go get changed.

You... you get one text.

Hmm.

What's the plan for this
year's couples vacation?

Some of us have press
tours to plan around.

What are you thinking?

-Hawaii.
-Kate, honey...

No, it-it'll be great.

There's this local beer tour
for you,

Lenore will get
her fill of nature.

Peter and I can lay on the beach
and hit up the hotel spa.

Everyone will be happy.

[Peter] But Hawaii is
so expensive.

And, uh, I don't think
it's a good time

for me to be away
from the firm right now.

Yeah, work is pretty busy
for me too, Kate.

Okay, well, it doesn't
have to be now. It could be...

um, in a month
or for the holidays?

I think, we should wait.

It's just...

not the right time.

Okay, vacation talk
is tabled... for now.

[instrumental music]

[door opens]

Garrett?

-[Garrett] In the office!
-I picked up coffee.

-How's my favorite client?
-I'm not sure you need this.

Gimme. You excited for our
sleepover tonight?

Yes. But I'm not sure how much
you gonna be sleeping.

Are you vibrating?

[both chuckle]

How's the schedule looking?

-I just emailed you the latest.
-Oh.

-Garrett.
-What?

This is not what
we discussed.

We're leveling up so you can
become an international brand.

That means lots of press.

It all starts with
this first docuseries.

We need big numbers,
binging, ravenous fans

who need more content
from you.

And then it's T-shirts,
movie deals, you name it.

Okay, look, I love that
you're so ambitious.

And I love that you
believe in me.

That is why I signed
with you.

But, uh, Matt and I have an
agreement.

We put our marriage first,

and we don't spend more
than a week apart.

Ugh, fine,
he can come with us.

He has a brewery to run.

What? This schedule
is a thing of beauty.

It took me weeks to
finalize everything.

Fine. I'll make adjustments.

Thank you. I love you.

I love you right back.

Okay, so,
AM Boston tomorrow...

What are you going to wear?

I don't know.
It's a radio interview.

So...

When has that ever mattered?

[both chuckle]

[birds chirping]

[instrumental music]

[door opens]

Oh. Are these the new creations?

I just siphoned them
from the fermenter.

It's not kiwi or mango,
but you definitely

got me thinking about using
local fruit more often.

Hmm...

These are amazing.

[laughs]

So what time's the AM Boston
interview tomorrow?

It's at 6:00, but I have
to be there at 5:15.

You sure you want to sleep
at Garrett's tonight?

Yeah, it's easier. It saves me
the drive in the morning.

I have tomorrow off. I could
drive you while you chug coffee.

[chuckles]

No, you should sleep in
for once.

Besides, don't you have
all this work to do

on Mendaville, the Sequel?

What? You used to talk about a
second location all the time.

You were-you were scouting
places in New York, Boston.

I can't find a space that
I love, and I don't want to

get trapped in somewhere
that's not perfect.

You know, market is
so saturated right now,

everyone and their mother's
making craft beer.

I don't know.

First you shut down about
Hawaii, now... now this.

-Are you okay?
-Stress, bills.

State of the world, destruction
of the planet, the usual.

Okay, well, if money is tight,

you can always dip into
the docuseries cash.

-I don't want to do that.
-Why not?

That's your money.

Matt, what's mine is yours.

-We're, we're partners.
-I know that.

But you've worked so hard
for that money.

I don't want to toss it away on
a venture that could fail.

It won't! You-you... You're
building your busine--

I don't want to do it, okay?

[tense music]

Look, I'm stressed out and
I shouldn't take it out on you.

But our deal with Stayaway
Hotels fell through and I have

all this extra product
that I can't move...

it's a bit of a mess
right now.

It did?
Why, why didn't you tell me?

I was embarrassed.

People are upset and I'm the
boss, I take the blame.

I get it, but you have to
tell me these things.

We've-we've talked
about this.

You don't have to remind me.

You know, maybe this press tour
will be good for us.

Some space.

Okay.

Right, um...
Well, I should pack.

[sighs]

[somber music]

Hey...

You...

You never say you're
sorry after a fight.

It's because I know
you know I'm sorry.

It would still be nice
to hear.

I'm sorry.

I love you more than anything.

I love you.

Knock 'em dead.

I always do.

-[Kate] Hi, Peter.
-Hey, Kate.

Have a good interview tomorrow.

Thank you. Have a good night.

[Cornelius]Good morning. Today,
I'm joined by Kate Kelsey

from the popular channel
"Good Wife's Guide to Murder."

-Kate, welcome.
-Thank you.

I am thrilled to be here.

You exclusively focus on
tales of mariticide.

How did you hone in on that?

Husband murder?

That has a little bit more
flare in the MMO.

MMO?

Motive. Means. Opportunity.

It's the, uh, the basis
of every investigation.

And with husband murder, the
motive is usually can be juicy.

Revenge, jealousy, power, money.

[laughs] We're going to
take a short break.

We'll return with more
from Kate Kelsey.

This is AM Boston.

Kate, this is my assistant,
Brit.

-[Cornelius] She's a fan.
-Ms. Kelsey. Kate.

Ahh! This is so amazing.
I am obsessed with you.

I never miss your show.
And I always leave a comment.

I once left a suggestion
about the woman

who strangled her husband
with Christmas lights?

Oh. I-I think
I remember that one.

-Really? Oh, my goodness.
-Hm-hm.

I mean there are so many
murder shows out there,

but yours is so special.

It's darkly sarcastic.

Thank you for watching. I hope
you check out the new series.

So, have you ever thought about
starting your own channel?

Oh, my God. Yes! I want to be
doing what you doing.

I'm just waiting for an
inspiration, you know?

[Cornelius] We're up in ten.

Well, I am sure it will strike.

Good luck, Brit. Slay safe.

[exclaims]

[instrumental music]

Hm.

-[Peter] Hey.
-Hey.

-So, how was your interview?
-I killed.

Is Matt home?

Ah, he should be.
It's his day off.

I texted him last night.
He never replied.

Huh? It's weird.

Um, you wanna come in
and grab a coffee?

-I, ah, I need a boost.
-Sure.

I-I'll get that.

Matt?

-Where do you want it?
-Um, anywhere's good.

Matt?

-Kate. Stay there.
-What?

Just don't...

[Kate] Matt! Matt!

No, no, no. No, don't.

Matt! Matt!

[crying] Matt!

[sobbing]

Call 911.

[Peter] Hello, emergency.

Yeah, there's been an accident.

[Kate crying]

[tense music]

[Kate sniffling]

[Kate whimpering]

[crying]

[indistinct radio chatter]

It's okay to lay back
on this one, sarg.

[tense music]

No.

I'm gonna need to take her
down to the station

and decide.

[Kate sobbing]

[music continues]

[crying]

[Kate sobbing]

[Diggs]You were in Boston
last night

at the home of Garrett Lucas?

[Kate]My agent. Yeah.

What time did you leave?

Look, it makes sense that
I'm your prime suspect,

uh... you should always
look at the wife.

But, um...

we have to figure out
who did this.

We have to, so...

[sighs] Um...

I left around 6:00.

I know that because I saw Peter
on his nightly run.

But you should check with him
to confirm that.

What time did you get back
to the house today?

It's a blur. Um...

Noon maybe?

That's pretty big window.
Anybody see you last night?

Well, Garrett can confirm
that I was

at his house last night,
and I left this morning.

You just produced a show about
women who kill their husbands

and get away with it.

True crime is a popular genre.

-Did you and Matt get along?
-[Kate] Of course.

Any disagreements lately?

-Not really.
-I'll take that as a "yes."

Married couples squabble
from time to time.

Squabble?
So there was a fight.

I don't know...

I don't know
if you could call it a fight.

I think lot of people
were mad at Matt and, um...

he took it out on me.

But he apologized
immediately and...

[whimpering]

-Right on cue.
-What?

The tears. You're doing
a very good job

of playing a bereaved wife.

My husband was just murdered.
How do you like me to act?

Where's Lenore?

Hm.

[door opens]

You were out there
the whole time?

Kate.

You think I did this?

Sweetie, when word gets out,
the whole

world will think
you did this.

Don't call me "sweetie."

[Lenore] Look...

just...

tell me what happened.

[sighs]

Did you confirm with the agent?

Yeah. And he corroborated
her alibi.

There's CCTV footage of her
arriving in the evening,

and leaving the next morning.

So she leaves the victim
at 6:00 p.m. That's 18 hours.

She could have
found the back door,

she could avoid
the cameras completely.

She's not the type.
A few days ago

she was planning their vacation,
a trip to Hawaii.

Still. Her channel?

She's our number one suspect.

I'm telling you,
she wouldn't do this.

There's no way she could have.

You're too close to this one.

She's your friend and you're not
thinking like a detective.

I'm a sergeant now.

Speaking of,
where were you last night?

I mean, you're right next door,
did you see anything,

did you hear anything?

I was on shift.
Got home around 1:00 a.m.

Peter?

Yeah. He was out late, too.
No idea where.

He tells me less
and less these days.

Hm.

You think she's innocent,

I think she's guilty.

We did always work best
when one of us

was trying to prove
the other wrong.

Diggs...

Let me run lead on this.

Please. I can do this.
Trust me.

The precinct won't survive
another scandal.

No mistakes this time.

There will be consequences.

Unlike you, I know all
about consequences... partner.

[Garrett] What's going on here?

-Garrett?
-Hi, Lenore.

Where's Kate?
Are you charging her?

It's Sergeant Thompson.
And not yet.

Great. I'm her agent and
her lawyer. We're leaving.

Tell me you didn't
answer any questions.

-Well, I--
-Uh.

I'm your lawyer,
so starting now

you don't speak
to anyone without me.

[sighs] This story
is blowing up.

I've been getting interview
requests all day,

and not just local news.

This is big! Huh!

No bad press, right?

I-I can't even think about
that right now.

Right. Of course.

What do you want to do?
Whatever you need.

Well, I, um...

I can't go back to the house.

They, they said
they'd tell me when, but...

We'll go to my place. You can
stay as long as you want.

This all feels like a bad dream.

He's, uh... he's really gone.

I... I don't know what to do.

Oh, hon. Come here.

Oh.

You know what always helps me
get through stuff?

What?

Writing everything down.
It's therapeutic.

Plus, later... you can use it.

-Use it?
-You know...

-It's material. Right?
-Garrett...

I love you, but can you please
stop being my agent,

and just start being my friend?

Oh, my God. Of course.

[sighs] My bad.

[chuckles]

Whoops!

[Javier] Hey, Kate.
How you holding up?

Javier, Lisa.

Thank you so much for
setting all this up.

Anything for Matt. And you.

He was a genius.

His energy,
his brewing expertise...

[sighs]

is gone.

Is gone.

I can't believe it's gone!

I'm sorry, Kate, this-this
must be so hard for-for you.

It's not just Matt.

We're both a little on edge
about the future.

Inventory sitting on shelves,

ingredients rotting
in the fridge.

We're thinking about
reopening later this week,

reduced hours,
if that's okay?

Um...

You own the building now, Kate.

Right. Right. Um...

Sure, Javier, I trust you.

I don't want Mendaville
to close.

This was, uh, Matt's dream,
and I want to keep it alive.

He shouldn't have said anything.
It's not the right time.

Why the hell is that
detective here?

Oh, it's a... it's an open wake.

We, we figured, everyone
deserved to, ah...

to mourn Matt.

He's not mourning.
He's trawling for suspects.

-He is?
-Uh...

-I'll go talk to him.
-Yeah.

That's not protocol.

I'm gonna go grab a drink.
You okay?

-Yeah.
-All right.

[Garrett] Any idea where those
two were that night?

-What?
-Well, they knew Matt.

[Garrett] He didn't smash
his own head in with a...

Wait, what was the weapon?

The police don't know yet.

Oh. Um...

-Hi. Uh...
-Brit.

I am so honored that
you remembered me.

I'm so sorry for your loss.

Do you work for the police
or something?

I totally should.

The local PD had a press
conference this morning.

Matt was fatally struck
by a blunt object.

But, at the moment,
no such object

has been recovered
from the crime scene.

Which means, the killer
either hid it, or kept it.

-Who are you?
-You must be Garrett.

I'm looking
for representation.

Uh... She works with
Cornelius Boothe at AM Boston.

Not anymore. I quit.
To start my own podcast,

or web series.

I don't know yet.

Oh, I, I thought you were

waiting for the right
inspiration.

And I found it. Famous wife,
murdered husband,

small suburb where everyone
has a secret.

-It's perfect.
-Uh...

And I def want your perspective,
but not yet.

I'm laying the ground work,

outlining the crime scene,
analyzing the suspects.

And, of course,
I'm using your Top Ten.

Oh. Is that Lenore?

And Peter?

Okay, tell me you're not
letting that little

Eve Harrington scoop you?

[Kate] Okay. I have better
things on my mind

than getting scooped.

I've been in denial.

Someone killed Matt.

In my house.
Probably someone he knows.

[Kate sighs]

They're probably here.

And I'm the number one suspect.

[Garrett] Wonder why that is?

If detective Diggs
is focused on me,

then no one is looking
for the right killer.

No one's trying to
figure out why.

Well, Matt could be
a bit of an ass.

Half this town
probably wanted him dead

for one reason or another.

I'm sorry. I-I don't know
why I said that.

Oh! This is what happens
when I skip breakfast.

[tense music]

I'm making a coffee run.
You want?

Uh, yeah. The usual.

[sighs]

[tense music]

[music continues]

[Garrett] What are you doing?

Matt went to
Littlefield Central, too.

You... you never mentioned.

Did you know him in school?

Why is this page ripped?

It was covered with slurs.

I didn't want my mom to see it.

Who would do that?

No.

[Garrett scoffs]

It was mostly just name-calling.

But there was always the threat
of something worse.

Matt was your high school bully?

Why didn't you ever tell me?

I only realized it
after I signed you as a client.

Of course, he didn't
remember me at all.

I stupidly thought he might
actually apologize someday.

Yeah. He was never really
good at saying sorry.

Y-you're were holding a grudge.

That's a motive.

Kate, don't be an idiot.

You're my favorite client.
My friend.

And let's be honest,
he wasn't good enough for you.

I'm not sorry he's dead.
But I did not kill Matt.

He was still alive
when I left the house.

When were you at my house?

I was in the area,
so I popped by to see

if Kate wanted a ride
into the city.

-[Diggs] Did you see Matt?
-Yes. He answered the door.

And told me Kate had
already left.

What time was this?

7:00, I think. I had tickets
to a play in Boston.

-Curtain at 8:30.
-Can anyone corroborate this?

My boyfriend was in the car.

So you were the last person
to see Matt alive.

[chuckles]

Other than the killer,
of course.

Why didn't you mention
this earlier?

No one asked.
Am I supposed to do your job?

-You didn't like Matt.
-[Garrett] Is that a crime?

Maybe you went back later that
night, settle an old score.

I went to pick up Kate.
She wasn't there, so I left.

Look, I should have given
a statement earlier,

but I've been focused on Kate.

She's my best friend,
and my client,

and she's heartbroken
over Matt's death.

So you think Kate's innocent?

Without a doubt.

In fact...

I think she's in danger.

Okay. Thanks for the update.

Yeah. Bye.

-Well?
-It checks out.

Garrett and his boyfriend
are on camera at the theater.

Well, that doesn't prove much.

Kate could've doubled back,
killed Matt after 7:00 p.m.

I'm not ruling anything out,

but you have to build
your case, detective.

The case would be a lot easier
if we had the murder weapon.

-Or Matt's phone.
-[scoffs]

Well, we've done more with less.

That's one of Kate's rules,
you know.

To hide the murder weapon.
Maybe the missing phone.

It's her trying to control
the narrative.

Hiding the weapon
is every murderer's rule.

[sighs]

What about the letters?

Hey, Kate, could I see you
for a second?

Yeah.

[Lenore] Could you tell
us about these?

All of Kate's fan mail
comes to my address.

These have been showing
up for a few months.

Months?
Why didn't you tell me?

I didn't want you to be upset.

So, you really don't know
where these are from?

Wait a minute.

[Kate sighs]

-Hmm.
-Hmm.

[Diggs] Yeah, we can track
the postmark.

What if someone was
looking for me?

If Garrett has been getting
these for months,

and suddenly they
show up at my house...

Yeah, your channel does
make you a target.

You never mentioned Matt
in your show,

but you do call yourself
a "good wife."

I could help you.
We should work together.

Leave the police work to us,
stay out of the way.

And I wanna ask you
some more questions.

Oh. more questions.

Great.

This refines the timeline,
right?

Thank you for convincing
Garrett to come in.

But I can't answer that.

This is an active investigation.

[tense music]

You good?

[music continues]

You like the fruity ones, right?

Yeah.

Strawberry ale.

Thanks, Javier. Um...

Is, is Lisa around?

Yeah, she's in the stock room.
Why? What's up?

I just was wondering if Matt
happen to have, I don't know,

any disgruntled customers,
fired workers?

I know you were already
questioned by Detective Diggs,

but I need to find
my own answers.

[sighs] Yeah, Matt pretty much
got along with everyone.

He was the boss,
so, maybe that's why.

Can you make sure these are
cold before Happy Hour?

He and Lisa got into it
sometimes.

Really? How so?

Lisa is ambitious.

She wants to take
our craft brews,

partner with one of the big
brands, distribute nationally.

There were some rumors
about her and Matt...

what she'd be willing to trade
for a title bump.

[scoffs]

[Javier] It's just gossip.

They would stay late,
work on brew recipes.

They would fight and banter,
and then later

all the tension would be...
gone.

-[man 2] Hey, Javier.
-Just give me a sec.

You shouldn't be here.

-I, I own the place.
-Go.

So, Lisa.
Matt and her fought.

I thought bartenders were
supposed to be tight-lipped.

-Does she have an alibi?
-I'm following up on Lisa.

I'm following up on
all the potential suspects.

But, when the husband of the
woman who makes a living

talking about dead husbands
shows up murdered...

I do have a hard time believing
that as a coincidence.

I want justice for Matt.
I'm going to find his killer.

And if you keep up with
your side investigation,

you're gonna find yourself
for an obstruction

of justice charge.

Better than a murder charge.

[sighs]

Look, what about a, uh...

a peace offering?

Matt...

had an apartment upstairs.

We can look at it together.

Or I can look at it,
and you can wait for a warrant.

[Diggs]
So, this is Matt's man cave?

When's the last time
someone was here?

I don't know.

Well, I need you to stay
where I can see you,

and do not touch anything.

This place is a mess.
Matt was a real neat freak.

-Really?
-Hm.

[Diggs] Seems like he might not
have been alone.

That, that doesn't
prove anything. Matt wouldn't...

What's in here?

[Kate] Uh, I don't know.

Let's find out.

What the hell!

[Diggs] Hm.

Tell me, that's not yours?

Of course, not. It's...

Matt had late nights.

And he had early morning
deliveries.

"That's the beer business."
That's what he said.

And I...

I was worried about him
driving home tired.

[scoffs]

[mellow music]

Sure.

I'm gonna get a team in here.

Were you aware...

Matt was having an affair?

I've never seen any of those
things before.

I, uh...

[sighs]

I didn't know my husband.

[pensive music]

-Kate.
-Hi, Lisa.

Yeah, if I won't talk to the
police, why would I talk to you?

-Did you sleep with my husband?
-I have somewhere to be.

All your theatrics at the wake.

The sobbing.
The calling him a "genius..."

-He was a genius.
-Yeah.

I found your little
sex toy trunk.

-Oh, you think that was mine?
-Yeah.

As if I'd ever be caught dead
in a pleather G-string .

We flirted at work and sexted.

He sent me photos,
so I sent some back.

We never had sex, I swear.

Those toys must have been
for his other flings.

He was my boss, Kate.
What was I supposed to do?

Well, that sounds
like harassment.

Did he... Was it unwanted?

I wanted a promotion.

To have more input in the brews
and the business.

And it seemed harmless at first.

I really did admire him.

But later...

Well, I had already gone along
with so much of it...

Yeah, I knew you loved him.

But Matt was not a good husband.

Geez! Open your eyes.

[pensive music]

[scoffs] Oh, that, uh...

That is the same...

phrase.

And you signed the guest book
at the wake.

And the writing matches.
What is this, a threat?

No. I...

just wanted to warn you.

About Matt?

-Did you kill him?
-No.

[music intensifies]

You should go to the police
and tell them everything.

So I become the prime suspect?
That works out nicely for you.

No, they have all the rest
of the letters.

Withholding evidence
just makes you look guilty.

-Get out of my way, Kate.
-Hey, uh... Come on, Lisa.

I'm just trying to help you.

Like you were trying to help me.

Oh, thank you.

Can I help you?

Hi. Is Peter Thompson in?

He just left.

I don't know
when he'll be back,

nobody tells me anything
around here.

-Do you have an appointment?
-No. I'm a friend.

I could wait in his office.

You're her.

[chuckles] The, uh,
the husband murder lady.

Kate K. "Slay safe."

Yeah, that's me.

[laughs] Oh! Big fan!

You know...

my husband's a real
piece of work.

Ugh! Oh!
Like yours, I guess.

Oh, no. I-it wasn't. Um...

Matt and I loved
each other re...

Oh, yeah, sure.

[chuckles] I mean...

we're all in love
until we're not, right?

I think you're innocent.

But, if you weren't, I get it.

[whispers] Men are pigs.

Thanks for watching.

-The police were here yesterday.
-Oh, let me guess.

Uh, a serious guy,
about this tall named Diggs?

That's him.

He was investigating,
you know...

[whispers] The incident.

Right. The incident.
Of-of course.

He took a copy
of the security footage.

-[Kate] Oh.
-Hm.

And... I have a copy too.

One for myself.

You never know when you're gonna
need it, right?

You know, Tammy...

it would be really helpful
if I could see that footage.

I-I would ask the manager but it
seems you're the only one here

who knows anything.

You know what? When my show
is up and running,

youshould come on it
as a special guest.

-Really?
-Yeah.

-When was this?
-Last month.

Peter... I mean, Mr. Thompson

was handling some financial
matters for Mr. Kelsey.

-What kind?
-I don't know.

[Tammy] Something
about a second location.

Hm.

I've never seen them
argue before.

They were best friends.

Detective Diggs saw this?

Yep.

[sighs]

-Thanks.
-Yep. Any time.

So, when am I gonna be
on your show?

[chuckles]

Hey, stranger.

Brit, what are you doing here?

You're my muse,

and I'm hoping, my mentor?

I, uh...

Come on, we'd make such
a great team.

I'm flattered, but someone is
trying to frame me for murder.

Maybe even kill me. I've got the
gossip rags all over me.

-So--
-That's the thing though.

They think you're guilty.
I don't. I could help you.

Just answer a few questions.

Look, any second Detective Diggs
could slap some cuffs on me.

I'm-I'm running out of time,

and it seems like everyone
in this town has a secret.

-Do you?
-What?

-Have a secret?
-Of course not.

The truth always comes out.
One way or another.

Well, sure. I hope so.

[dramatic music]

[gasps]

[sighs]

-Hey! You okay?
-Ah!

-You look freaked out.
-Uh, I, I don't know.

I... I thought, uh...
I don't know what I thought.

I saw you come out
of the office.

Were you looking for me?

Sort of.

Okay, look. I don't know
what they told you.

But... we've been friends
for a long time,

and I deserve a chance
to explain myself.

[sighs]

Matt and I, we...

Well, it's complicated.
I just, I need you to know

that I had nothing
to do with those photos.

The what?

What's this?

[Peter] Someone leaked
pictures of us

to what seems like every news
site on earth.

[sighs]

[sighs] Okay. I have to go.

Kate, please. Look,
I need the chance to explain

what you saw at the firm.

[breathing heavily]

Lenore.

Are you okay?
Did you run here?

Did you see the photo?
It's innocent. I-I swear.

Kate... Kate, breathe.

I saw the picture
and immediately recognized

from our couples' vacation
last year.

Is this, is this illegal?
It-it feels illegal.

Where did they get the photo?

No idea.

One of us get hacked?

But, the thing is, is
I think Matt took that photo.

So then, somebody
has Matt's phone.

[phone rings]

[pensive music]

[Kate] Oh, my God!

What?

It's Matt... and Lisa.

[music intensifies]

These photos are
spreading everywhere.

I'm gonna be a meme
in 20 minutes.

[cup shattering]

Hey, I hate that
this is happening to you.

We're gonna find out
who did this.

[Garrett]
What's the problem here?

You look great.

And Peter is hot!

I don't know what
you're so pissed about.

They're private photos
from Matt's phone.

What can we do, legally?

Oh, you can't sue the
whole internet.

Oh, yikes!

Looks like Matt and Lisa
were brewing up

more than just pale ales.

Okay, that is not funny.

And she's the one that's
sending me those hate letters.

Hm. Meanwhile,
Brit is gaining followers.

You know, I bet
she's behind these leaks.

Unless it's you.

There's no such thing
as bad press.

I would never!

Like you said, it's probably
the little wannabe. Right?

Did I tell you that
she ambushed me

demanding that we work together?

Well, there you go.

Maybe you should take her up
on that offer.

See what she knows.

[mellow music]

[intense music]

Hello?

Hello?

[distant creaking]

[switch clicks]

[suspenseful music]

[grunts]

[water sloshing]

[Lenore] I am working
the night shift.

I just came home
for a quick shower.

Didn't think you'd be here.

Sorry, if you're trying
to avoid me.

It's been a long day.

[Peter] Yeah, for me, too.

My work is stressful,
you've no idea.

Peter, please.

[sighs]

Okay. Uh, can just go ahead
and finalize the separation?

This limbo thing
is driving me crazy.

It is not really right time,

with everything going on.

Yeah, of course,
you care more about

how it looks than I how feel.

Hey.

I'm sorry,
I should've called first.

But I just couldn't be
alone in the house.

Figured we could do game night?

I'm going for a run.

I'll stick to my usual schedule
from now on.

You can avoid me
if you want to.

Well, you're welcome to stay
for a bit,

but I'll have to go
to the station soon.

We really don't have to...

No.

[inhales deeply] I want to.

[Lenore sighs]

[Kate chuckles]

So, uh...

do you wanna talk about
what I just walked in on?

Are you and Peter okay?

No.

And, no.

[phone ringing]

Sergeant Thompson.

At Mendaville?

-What?
-[Lenore] Yeah. I'm on my way.

I'll explain on the way.
Come on.

-[Lenore] Sit back here?
-Okay.

-Cause of death?
-What's she doing here?

She owns the crime scene.

What's the cause of death?

Lisa was bludgeoned with
an unknown blunt object.

Similar head wound,
length, depth.

So, yeah, we can wait
for the crime lab

to give us the report,
but my gut tells me

it's gonna be the same murder
weapon used in Matt's death.

Oh, shit!

Do we have a time frame?

Javier left her here alone
around 6:00 p.m.,

weekend bartender came in
found her body.

He was here to get
his paycheck.

Her body is still warm upstairs!

[Diggs] I missed something.
[Lenore] Hey.

[Diggs]
And this is happening again.

Keep it together.
You are a professional.

And I need you
to solve this now...

before someone else gets hurt.

You mean killed, sarge?

Before someone gets killed.

[dramatic music]

[grunts]

Kate. Hey.

Hey, Peter.

How are you?

Not sleeping so great. You?

Same. Yeah, I guess I'm trying
to tire myself out.

You said you wanted
to tell me the truth.

Yeah.

Ah, let's go get some tea.

Diggs wants me to come in
for questioning later.

Oh.

[scoffs] I hate that
I'm a suspect.

I would never hurt Matt.

And I didn't even know
this Lisa woman.

What were you and Matt
fighting about at the office?

I used to have a gambling
problem in college.

I outgrew it, straightened up.

And then, a few years ago,
I started again.

Little sports betting.

It was harmless,
until I started losing.

How much?

I had a secret credit card,
and I maxed it out.

Did Matt know this?

He offered to help me
payoff my debt

and kick the habit if I
introduced him at the office.

He wanted to secure financing

for Mendaville's
second location.

[breathing deeply]

Called in favors,
got my boss on board.

And then a few weeks ago,
he swings by and says he's out.

Just like that.

I threatened him.

I just felt used.

He didn't want me
involved, either.

Like, why would he go to you
when we have the money?

Yeah, I don't know.

What were you doing that night?

You went for your run, and
you saw me leave, and then?

I went to a poker game.

[chuckles]

I texted Matt before.
I was hoping

that I could borrow
some money.

He never replied.

Thought I could win it all back,
and pay off the debt...

make everything right.

I lost, of course.

Is this what you and Lenore
were fighting about?

Yeah.

She found my credit card
statement.

Things between us have
not been good.

[breathing deeply]

Everything is gonna be okay.

I'll-I'll help you in
anyway that I can.

But, you need to go
and talk to a therapist.

And no more gambling.

Thanks, Kate.

Hey.

What are you doing here, Kate?

Uh, we were just talking
about yesterday.

-Hm.
-About everything.

Hm.

Yeah.

Okay. Um, I am-I am...

I'm gonna give you guys
a minute.

Diggs is expecting you
at the station.

Maybe I should get a lawyer.

Well, just don't lie
to the police,

and I'm sure you'll be fine.

[Peter] It's nice to have you
give a damn about me

for a change, Lenore.

Peter, please,
don't start this again.

I'm under enough pressure
at the station.

[door opens]

-Kate, hey. Thanks for coming.
-Hey.

Um, isn't this still
a crime scene?

Should, should we be here?

Oh, uh,
the back room is taped off.

Plus, no one was murdered
out here, they said

we can reopen
in a couple of days.

-Oh.
-Sit, sit.

[Javier] I have some small batch
whiskeys I want you to try.

Of course, I want to honor
Matt's vision for Mendaville,

but it doesn't mean we can't
update a little bit, right?

Um, I guess.

But doesn't it feel a bit soon?

Um... I don't want
to sound insensitive.

But I can't help but feel

that this is the moment
I've been waiting for.

You know, I...
I have everything we need

to take Mendaville
to the next level.

-Hm.
-I'm ready, Kate.

-You can trust me.
-Hm.

Matt had no vision,
no drive to expand.

Uh, why do you say that?

Well, 'cause he was content
to stay here.

I mean, he's been jerking those
VC guys around for months.

So, you were mad at Matt?

Sure, I mean,
I saw the way he treated Lisa.

He wasn't a good guy.

Um... Look, Javier.

I, I know you are
a savvy businessman.

But, um, I just don't know

if it's the right time
to make big moves

for the business.

So, why don't we let
the investigation wrap up

and then... then we can talk?

No, I'm not gonna be cut out...

left behind.

Sign this!

[intense music]

-Now!
-Oh.

"A transfer of
business ownership?"

I... No. No, I-I...

-I have to speak to Garrett.
-Don't be stupid.

Don't be stupid, Kate.
We know how much you resented,

how much time Matt spent here.

Just sign the papers,
and be done with it once...

I'm not gonna hurt you, Kate.

Or maybe I'm the one
who should be afraid.

Your husband's dead.
His girlfriend, dead.

Huh!

I'm one of the only friends
you have left.

Police! Don't move!

She pulls a knife on me and I'm
the one going to the station?

Just a quick chat. Don't make me
regret not using cuffs.

Smart move, calling Lenore.

[sighs] Yeah.

Um... Tsk.

I've, uh, I've got
another scoop

that I think
you'll find useful.

But, you've got to tell me
about you and Lenore.

Fine.

Okay. Um...

I talked to Peter,
and he told me

that his gambling landed him
in hot water with Lenore.

And I walked in on them...

talking about getting a divorce.

So...

I-I told you what I know.

You and Lenore...

You guys were partners, right?

She never talked to you
about this?

No.

Okay.

Last year,
we catch a homicide.

Now, there was some problem
submitting the evidence.

There was a little mistake.

Thing is, the guy gets off
on a technicality...

they call a police error.

He goes out and he kills again.

Hm.

She and I were partners,
but it was my signature

on the botched report.

I get leave with no pay...

she gets my promotion
to sergeant.

Oh.

So, uh...

you got something to prove.

You can't mess this up.

-[sighing] Hmm.
-Hm.

This is bullshit. I was just
trying to talk to her.

Oh, a pro tip,
women don't feel threatened

by guys who just want to talk.

I don't think you guys are
gonna solve this thing.

Is that right?

This town...

everybody's got a secret...

everybody's trying to cover
their own ass.

I mean, how are the police's
supposed to find out

who killed Matt when, when they
don't know the whole story?

They can't see
the complete picture?

What's your secret?

[sighs]

Lisa and I, um...

We used to date.

And then she became
so obsessed with Mendaville

and getting a promotion...

Once Matt started flirting
with her, she-she dumped me.

We used to dream about running
the brewery together.

Honestly, she changed
so much when Matt died.

I thought maybe
Lisa had done it.

And now?

Any idea who might have
killed Matt?

I told you my secret.

What's yours?

I know you never trusted me,
and you were right not to.

I guess, I had motive.

Anger, revenge.

But, uh...

I loved Matt.

And I didn't kill him.

Please believe me.

[knocking on window]

What do you think about her?
She's always

popping at crime scenes.

-So are you, Kate.
-Yeah, but I have an alibi.

Hey. You are not posting
that video.

My fans expect content.
You know what it's like.

This is my life.

My-my entire reputation,
my freedom is on the line.

I've been watching your videos
since high school.

Your videos are what inspired me
to go into journalism.

And now that I have my
own big scoop,

you want me to just... drop it?

You got hustle,
I'll give you that.

You, um...

You remind me of me
when I just started.

Look, if you delete that video,

we can work together
on something bigger.

-Really?
-Yeah. You're tenacious.

You're smart. Why wouldn't
I wanna work with you?

Oh, my God, Kate!

I won't let you down.

But you have to tell me
everything that you know.

It's time to come clean.

[exhales deeply]

That's-that's Matt's phone.

It's not what it looks like.
I-I found it.

I was looking through the house
after the police left

and I found it in the garden.

I was gonna turn it in
to the cops,

but then I found your photos,

of you and Peter.

So, you leaked them
to the press.

Where were you the night
that Matt died?

I was working overnight
at the station.

7:00 to 7:00. I was still there
when you had your interview.

Okay. Okay, fine.

But you turn up
everywhere that I go.

How is that possible?
It's like...

It's like someone
is helping you.

Now that you're my mentor,
I have to admit.

I've had an inside man.

[chuckles]

[sighs]

Yes, fine. It was me.

-Why?
-It's a 24-hour news cycle.

People were starting
to lose interest.

I needed to do something
to stir you into action.

Brit was an easy mark.

Thank you.

Okay, can we stay
focused here, please?

Look, I'm sorry I fed Brit
info about your whereabouts.

Okay? I'm sorry.

I'm sorry.

You're lucky that I have Diggs
finally on my side,

and Javier is on the top
of the suspects list.

He had the most to gain now that

Lisa and Matt
are out of the picture.

It could be someone else.

A random killer, a-a stalker.

No, it's always the least
likely suspect.

Do you ever watch my shows?

It's always the
mostlikely suspect.

[sighs]

Do we have a meeting?

[sighs] Did you get any leads
from Javier?

Uh, he's being questioned now.

He says that
we're not gonna solve this

'cause no one's telling
the truth...

that we can't see
the full picture.

So, he is our prime suspect
right now,

but we do have a
new suspect at play.

Who?

You told me
that you were on shift

the night that
Matt was murdered.

But I pulled the logs,
and you're not on them.

You told me you were here,
but you weren't.

I lied.

[phone ringing]

It's Peter.

No.

Hey.

-[Peter]Where are you?
-Uh, I'm at Garrett's. Why?

[Peter]Lenore forgot her lunch,
so I'm at the station,

I just overheard, I think
they're going to arrest you.

-What?
-[Peter]Yeah.

Apparently,
there's new evidence.

-What did they find?
-[Peter]I don't know.

But... but you're innocent,
right?

Maybe you should just go.

Get on a plane or...

I don't know.

I could help you,
if you wanted me to.

No, I-I-I can't run away now.

Not when I'm so close
to solving this. I...

I care about you, Kate.

Stay there. I've got a plan.

Brit, let's go.

Just Brit.

That's fine.

[tense music]

Okay, Lenore is gone.
Where are you?

[whispers] Bull pen.

-Hi.
-[Kate]Walk with confidence.

And don't make eye contact.

[Peter]Her office is straight,
and to the left.

Her name is on the door.

I see it.

Lock screen!

[Peter]Open the lower
right desk drawer.

There should be a list of
passwords in there.

She can never remember hers.

Got it.

[Kate]Look for the digital
evidence file.

I-I need to know
what they have on me.

Some photos.

CCTV footage from
Garrett's building.

Witness statements from Peter...

Javier...

and Lenore.

Lenore gave a witness statement?

Send it.

[suspenseful music]

Oh.

Wow, I, uh...

This must've been
going on for...

Lenore and Matt?

According to this,
they've been

having an affair
for three years.

I thought it was my gambling
that was pulling us apart,

but it was here.

She's a cheater.

What a twist!

Our show is gonna be huge.

Don't you realize
what this means?

What?

Lenore killed Matt.

[sighs]

[pensive music]

[mellow music]

[phone ringing]

[Kate]I know about you
and Matt.

I'm surprised
it took this long.

We weren't always careful.

I think it's time
we have a talk.

Where are you?

At home, in my studio.

I'll be right there.

[tense music]

[both sighing]

[exhales deeply]

[music continues]

You must think I'm an idiot.

You record me and then edit
this any way you want?

[Kate] They're not on.

But this is an interview?

[inhales deeply]

[sighs]

[suspenseful music]

Did you ever have sex
in my bed?

Kate, come on.

[Kate] No, I should clarify.
Did you ever have sex

with my dead husband
in my bed?

We only ever met at the bar.

So, it was your trunk
of toys I found.

And here, I thought Matt and
I had an exciting sex life.

Matt and I were two lonely
people in unhappy marriages.

I never wanted to hurt you.

You're my best friend.

I just...

I fell in love
with the wrong man.

That trip to Aspen...

you and Peter wanted
to shop and ski,

and that left me alone
with Matt.

We thought it would
be a one time thing,

just on vacation.

And that we'd come back home
and everything would

go back to normal.

But it didn't.

Why did you kill him?

What?

Was it because you realized that
he was never gonna leave me?

Or that he was screwing
Lisa, too,

so you, so you bashed in
his brain and then hers or...?

[Kate] Or did you want me
out of the way?

Were you coming for me?

And then, I was in the city
so I messed up your plans,

and so you decided to frame me.

Ah...

You say you spent that night
at Garrett's house that night,

and, yes, there is CCTV footage
of you arriving.

But there's a back door
that doesn't have a camera.

And you could have snuck out
without anybody knowing.

Okay, so because
Garrett's too cheap

to put in more cameras,
I'm a murderer?

I came here because I thought
you were ready to confess.

Why would I confess
when you're the killer?

Notice those lights
over by your house?

I-I wonder what
they're doing there?

I wonder what they'll find?

Kate...

-What did you do?
-[Kate] Oh.

No, you're, you're off duty.

You never carry your gun
when you're off duty.

What were you gonna do?
Were you going to shoot me,

and try to, try to pretend
it was an accident?

You're hoping
I'll incriminate myself...

agree with one of your
wild accusations.

But I'm a cop,
and I know how justice works.

[chuckles] A home-wrecker,
with moral righteousness.

Well, I bet right now
Brit's livestream viewers...

they think you're
pretty damn guilty.

[intense music]

Oh, she did it.

[indistinct radio chatter]

[Lenore]You say you spent the
night at Garret's house...

-We found something.
-Oh, my God.

-Where did that come from?
-Where's your wife?

[indistinct chatter]

I think they're at Kate's.

[indistinct chatter]

[Diggs] What the hell
is she doing?

[indistinct chatter]

Pick up, Lenore.

[phone ringing]

-You did it.
-Somebody help!

I have to arrest you!

[grunting]

You're a murderer!

[Lenore groans]

-You're crazy!
-No, Kate, I'm not!

[grunting]

[thuds]

Run, Kate, run!

You're interfering with the
arrest of a murder suspect.

[phone rings]

-Diggs, it's Kate.
-[Brit] Don't believe her!

She did it!
She's on the run.

Lenore, stay where you are.
I'm on my way.

[intense music]

[grunts]

Come on, Kate.
There's nowhere to go.

This doesn't have to end badly.

Stay away from me!

Come on, Kate, please.

Just come to the
station with me.

[sighs] Come on, don't make me
come up there.

[sighs]

[screams]

[Kate] Lenore! Oh, my God.

Help! Help! Lenore!

Help! We're in here!

Lenore?

Help! We're in here!

Lenore! Lenore!
Kate, what happened?

-She-she fell.
-Back up, don't touch her.

This is Officer Diggs.
I'm in the barn.

Officer down!
Officer down!

[dramatic music]

All vitals absent.

[dramatic music]

[birds chirping]

[lock clicks]

-[Brit] Hey.
-Hey.

-Do you need help?
-I'm good.

-So, a few things.
-Mm-hm.

Garrett wants a meeting to

discuss your
new development deal.

He's asking for more money
and creative freedom.

-So I'll set that for tomorrow?
-Hm.

Okay. And Javier called again.

About his Mendaville
buyout offer.

-Let's let him sweat a bit.
-Hm. Ahem.

And finally,
did you get a chance

to review my notes
on our new podcast?

[Kate] Yes. They are great.

Let's talk about it
this afternoon

when I'm done recording.

-Perfect. Yeah.
-Okay.

Perfect.

Now, I know this is
"Good Wife's Guide to Murder."

But I'm thinking
about of a title change.

I, I want to honor
what happened to Matt.

And to me.

[scoffs] My best friend
betrayed me.

She slept with my husband,
she killed him,

and then used her knowledge
of my Top Ten rules

to try to frame me.

Rule one...

make a plan.

[suspenseful music]

Appearances are everything.

Wait for the right opportunity.

Hide the murder weapon.

Solidify an alibi.

[music continues]

[thuds]

[thudding]

Patience is a virtue.

Let the inevitable
investigation unfold.

Work with the police for
as long as it benefits you.

Get a lawyer.

Keep your friends close.

Control the narrative.

[music continues]

Now, there may be one or two
wildcards that you don't expect.

But...

chaos can be helpful.

[music continues]

-Sergeant Diggs.
-Yes?

Got back the autopsy on
Sergeant Thompson, uh, Lenore.

-Anything unusual?
-[woman 1] Not really.

Acute subdural hematoma that's
consistent with her injury.

But she also had a cranial
fracture that's weird,

considering she fell on the back
of her head.

Thank you.

[dramatic music]

[grunts]

[Lenore screams]

Help! Help! We're in here!

And, one extra rule
that I'm not sure

if I'll ever share

is there's always
a better suspect out there.

So find them.

Let's face it.
No one's really interested

in a "Good Wife's Guide
to Murder."

What we want is a
"Good Wife's Guide to Murder,

And How to Get Away With It."

Tsk.

I'm Kate K.,
and that's all for this week

in "Murder And Marriage."

Slay safe.
