Original subtitles

Cherry Springs. The kind of place that's frozen in time.

Friendly and familiar faces on every corner.

I came back to find comfort in that familiarity.

But beneath the facade of a peaceful life, lies a darkness.

It seems even the quaintest of towns hide big secrets.

And the truth?

Well, that's something I just couldn't run away from.

Ok, come on. Let's take a little walk.

Hey Uncle Joe. Need any help?

No, no, I think that's it.

I got the cake in the car. We all set.

You still calling it “the cake” after all these years?

What's wrong with that?

Well, it's your specialty. Give it some pizazz.

Uncle Joe's Butter Bundt.

No. That's a mouthful. People ask for the cake.

I give them the cake.

I'm a simple man.

And I love you for it, Uncle Joe.

You know I didn't think you'd stick around this long,

but I am glad that you did.

Well, Mom's house isn't gonna sell itself.

Can you believe it's coming up on a year

since she's been gone?

Yeah, I miss her every single day.

You know I could've handled this for you.

I know. I wanted to be here.

Anyway, all this talk of the festival has got me nostalgic.

I couldn't miss it.

You want a ride?

Nah, I'm gonna stop by Rachel's.

See if she needs a help setting up her pet adoption tent.

Look at you.

Been here for a month and already

Cherry Springs, citizen of the year.

C'mon, Bogie. Let's go see some friends.

Come on buddy. Come on buddy.

Come on, Bogey.

Bye. Have a good day.

Hey! Ready to head out?

Yep. Tony's out back loading up the truck.

Hi!

Here's hoping we find some little pups a home.

Sorry. This guy's off the market.

This guy's taken, too.

They asked me to be a part of

the festival's eligible bachelor auction,

but I turned 'em down.

Oh! That's a shame.

Could of used that twenty dollars you would've earned.

Thanks, Honey.

I said he'd go for five.

Wow. Kid forgets who signs his paychecks.

Good to see you Mel.

Hey.

Melanie, this is Ryan Monroe.

He works at the auto body shop with me.

Nice to meet you.

Nice to meet ya.

And what brings you out to this way?

Oh, I'm just visiting my old stomping grounds.

Been friends with these two forever.

I'm talking pre, Pre-K.

Rachel thought you'd be back in Boston by now.

I told her you can't get enough of us.

I guess I'm enjoying the R&R.

What did you do up in Boston?

I'm an investigative reporter for the Boston Chronicle.

Exposes crooks. Fights injustice.

Like Lois Lane if she were Superman.

Always knew she was going places.

Speaking of going places, let's get a move on.

Come on, let's go, let's go.

Thank you all for coming today to celebrate

the opening of the Twila Birch Community Center.

Uh, ha ha, yeah!

A beautiful center like this

deserves a beautiful celebration,

and our vendors and volunteers

have really brought out their best

this year for our inaugural festival.

Let's give it up for them.

(Applause)

That's right, that's right.

Now, I have volunteered on the committee to make this

community center a reality for the past three years.

And I can say that no one

has worked harder to bring us here than one man.

It is my honor to introduce to you a beloved member of

Cherry Springs, Mr. Dan Birch.

Thank you Diana for that warm introduction.

It was my late wife, Twila's,

dying wish, that we build a place, where our entire

community can gather and celebrate the spirit

of Cherry Springs.

So please sign up, get your memberships:

because just in a few days we're going to be offering

an assortment of classes at the Twila center gym.

And after your workout,

after Pilates, you can enjoy a run around the track

or even a swim in the indoor pool.

Thank you all for coming.

And let's make this a really special community.

Thank you.

Wow. Diana was really born to be behind that microphone.

As a speaker? Yes. As a singer? Not so much.

Oh, I still have PTSD from her

karaoke party last year in Vegas.

Heads up. We've got a customer.

I-- can I...?

Yeah! Go ahead. Sure.

Sorry, he loses his ability to form sentences

when he sees dogs.

Well, if you're interested in adopting.

Uh no, I got enough to handle.

Come on. Please, Dad.

That's Bogie.

How old is he?

He's 8.

That's... fifty-six in dog years.

Wow. That's some quick math!

Smart guy, like his old man.

Mention old man and I shall appear.

I don't mind if I do.

I see you've met my niece.

So this is the hotshot reporter you talk about all the time?

Sounds about right.

The part about Joe talking too much, at least.

His baking makes up for it.

Well, you got that right. I'm Melanie Abrams.

Jake Collins.

I'm just a sucker who lost a bet.

A bet? You lose every one.

No, no, no, Jake and I, we get together

from time to time and watch the games.

Friendly wagers.

Well, it looks like he pays you your winnings in baked goods.

I ain't complaining.

Dad! Can we play that bottle toss game?

I bet I can beat you.

You're on.

It was nice meeting you.

Likewise.

We on tomorrow, Joe?

You know it. And I feel like my luck is taking a turn.

You'll see.

Famous last words!

Quite the bromance you two have.

The way you described Jake,

I was expecting someone, more mature.

Oh, hush up. You're not the only one with cool friends.

Speaking of cool friends.

Hey Joe. Hey.

I see you met Cherry Springs' hottest bachelor.

What's his story?

Uh, moved here about a year ago from New York.

Can't trust those big city types.

He is a detective.

Don't know much else other than he got

those new traffic cams installed in town.

Bringing Cherry Springs out of the Dark Ages.

Enjoy.

Mel! Hey!

Hey, Sarah.

Congrats on your big book deal.

Your uncle was telling me all about it.

You got a book deal?

That Fall River factory piece

really made you a hot commodity.

More like a hot mess. I haven't decided.

I'm not exactly in the right headspace to write a book.

I should be congratulating you.

I heard you're gonna be parked here full time at the center .

That's big business.

Thanks. I'm just working on saving up money.

I'm trying to earn enough to lease a space inside the center.

I am more than happy

to contribute to that dream of yours.

Two lattes, please?

Coming right up.

Is that Detective Dominic?

Great speech up there.

Oh, thanks.

Hey, this is Melanie, my childhood friend.

Mel, this is Dominic.

Or should I say Detective Peters?

Heard about the promotion!

Thank you very much.

Nice to meet you, Melanie.

Likewise.

Here you go!

Oh, thank you! Thank you!

Enjoy the day, ladies.

You, too! Bye.

So cute.

Okay. Why are you denying your fans a book?

Over a decade of righting wrongs.

The spotlight suits you.

For every fan I've made, I've made enemies, too.

Trust me.

Okay, well, if anyone tries anything, I got your back.

Oh, I bet you do. I've seen those biceps of yours.

Mom strength, it's no joke.

I'm the one taking care of her, of course that's what she wants.

You asked her?

Yes.

What's that?

Tony, I'm exhausted. I don't know what else to do.

Okay, It's our mother we're talking about here!

The burden has been on me

so don't pretend like you suddenly care!

C'mon.

I have customers, I don't have time for this.

Hey Melanie!

I'm so glad you could stick around for the event.

Oh, I couldn't miss it.

The center's such a beautiful tribute to your wife.

Her journalism class was an inspiration.

I owe her my career.

Twila taught a lot of students over the years,

but you were always her favorite.

Here I thought I was her favorite.

No, you were a troublemaker.

Rachel, too.

A matter a fact, the three of you together

were always up to no good.

Guilty as charged.

Only thing we're guilty of is having a good time.

I requested our song! Let's dance.

I will dance circles around you.

Wait. Who's watching my kids?

Ah no worries! Uncle Joe's got 'em.

Bye!

(Sound of car starting)

Do you regret looking into the Fall River factory?

What going to happen to all those

workers who lost their jobs?

You got justice but at what cost.

(Knocking at door)

Knock, knock.

I got keys, remember?

Yes. I brought you, uh, leftovers.

Oh! Thank you. Come on.

Oh, you dancing up a storm out there

with Diana and Rachel today.

You know, it was like you never left at all.

Maybe I never should've,

I could've been here with Mom more.

Making memories instead of mistakes.

Your mom loved you more than anybody.

She framed every one of those articles you ever wrote.

I got no wall space at the diner.

Well, not every one of those stories

has a happy ending, Uncle Joe.

There's something you wanna tell me about it?

It's nothing.

Look, I'm no fancy investigative reporter but it doesn't take

Sherlock to figure that something is not quite right.

One, you're in no rush to sell this place.

Two, hardly packed any your Mom's stuff

and three, every time I see you,

you're ignoring a phone call

from the publishing company.

The last thing I need is more pressure and more deadlines.

I'm fine. I promise. Just tired is all.

Okay, if you ever need to talk about anything,

I'm right across the street.

Hey there, Boston!

Bogie!

Bogie, is that your buddy?

Game day at my uncle's, I take it?

That's right.

Any excuse for grown men to eat

fried food and take turns napping.

Sounds like my kinda Sunday.

Uncle Joe tells me you're selling.

No bites yet.

I think Uncle Joe mowing the lawn shirtless

across the street scares folks off.

You know, if I could arrest him for that, I would.

I think he's just trying to make you stick around.

Well, he doesn't need me.

He's got his sports buddy now.

If Lucas had it his way we'd still be in New York.

What brings you out here?

Not often a high-ranking detective

relocates across four states.

Who said I was high-ranking.

You carry yourself like someone who's a bit

above the average inspector rank.

I'd say... sergeant?

Wow. I see those investigative skills at work, huh.

Is that why they pay you the big bucks in Boston?

Lucas, come on, man. Game's about to start.

You didn't answer my question. Why Cherry Springs?

Oh, I don't know.

It just seemed like a good place to plant some roots,

when New York stopped feeling like home.

You ready man.

Hello. Hello. Guess who's here?

I come bearing gifts.

Is that Melanie Abrams I hear?

Andy! Long time no see.

Hey, come around here. Way too long, if you ask me.

Haven't seen you since our class reunion.

I'm surprised you remember that night.

We actually had to carry you out of there.

What can I say, I drank Tony under the table.

Then wound up right under that table with him.

Speaking of, Um, Tony around?

Oh, yeah, he's in the office.

How you been, huh?

I'm doing alright.

I was real sorry to hear about your Ma passing.

Thank you. Yeah it's been a hard year without her.

She was a great lady.

And those kitchen sink cookies

she used to make for us, the best.

They were!

And I hear you're selling the house, huh?

Working on it.

Gosh, a lot of great memories growing up on that street.

We had some epic rounds of flash light tag.

All those neighborhood bike races.

You call those races?

I was just trying to keep away from you and Rachel.

Well, you went from running from the ladies

to running your own business.

It's a team effort. Couldn't do it without my partner in crime.

What you got in the bag there?

Oh, just some food for Tony.

I owe him for loaning me the car.

You're acting so weird. Look at me.

And tell me that you're not hiding something.

Is that Rachel?

Okay, you're lying. You're lying.

Hey, everything okay?

Yeah, fine. I gotta get some air.

I'll catch you later, Mel.

Rachel was really upset.

She said Tony's being evasive

about phone calls he's been getting.

Anytime she asks, they wind up in a fight.

Well, they have been bickering since they were prom dates.

I wouldn't think too much about it.

Yeah, I guess.

But Tony kinda seems on edge.

You saw him arguing with his sister yesterday.

Yeah, well he's a hothead. You know Tony.

To-go order is ready.

Thanks, Joe.

I had a hankering for your onion rings

and I just couldn't shake it.

Well hey, I even threw in a couple of milkshakes

for those two little cutie-patooties of yours.

Oh, you think they're cute, huh?

One sip of this and they'll be shrieking like banshees.

Easy, easy. It's me.

Sorry, I tried calling, but...

Yeah, I went for a jog, left my cell at home.

Everything okay?

Tony never came home last night.

What?

After we fought,

I figured he was at a bar, blowing off some steam.

But, then I woke up this morning and he wasn't there.

I tried calling him, but his phone is shut off.

So I called the police.

Is that unusual for him?

Well, he's been acting strange lately, in general.

Closed off. But disappearing on me?

It isn't like him. I can feel it in my bones.

Something's wrong.

Okay.

C'mon. You gotta see this thing.

Slow down, dude.

There it is.

I don't think we should go near it.

Whoever this belongs to will probably come back.

Don't be chicken, bro.

Sick!

It's a roll of cash, dude.

Whoa. How much is that?

A whole lot.

Andy says he hasn't seen Tony since he left work yesterday.

Do you have the Find-a-Friend app?

It can ping his location.

His phone must be dead. It's not getting a response.

We can check in with Sarah Jane at her coffee truck. Or his mom.

His mother. She's been sick lately.

He could be with her.

This is why I needed you. You help me think straight.

What do we got?

A jogger found the car abandoned out here on a morning run.

Registered to one, Tony Patel.

He owns the auto repair shop on Railroad Avenue.

Yeah. I know him.

He gave me a good deal on a alternator.

Yeah, well, wherever he was headed, he was in a hurry.

His tire is blown out and there's skid marks on the road.

Huh, no sign of him?

No, no, just his cell phone, found it in the woods.

It's a little water damaged but should be okay.

Have your guys run it for calls and texts.

And let's set up a perimeter.

Will do. Yeah.

Did you find him? Did you find Tony?

This is not a good time for press.

There's no scoop if we haven't started digging.

I'm not here on the job.

Rachel is Tony's wife.

He's missing.

I see.

We're going to get to the bottom of this.

Any leads on his whereabouts?

Not as of yet.

But as soon as we know anything, I'll let you know.

Ok, thanks. Alright.

You know Tony better than they do.

If he's out there somewhere, you've gotta help me find him.

Please.

When's the last time you saw Tony?

Eleven in the morning, I'd say. Maybe eleven-thirty.

So Tony left the auto shop and never came back.

That didn't raise any red flags?

No, not at all.

Tony opens the shop. I shut it down.

That's how it goes.

Any idea where Tony was off to?

He didn't say. He was in a huff.

He and his wife had just gotten into a little spat.

And Rachel? She was at the shop?

Tony was being secretive lately.

Taking phone calls in other rooms.

Giving two-word responses anytime

I'd ask him what was going on.

I'd reached a breaking point, I guess.

And he was having one of those secret calls yesterday?

It was a text, actually.

Ryan Monroe, Tony's employee at the shop.

Yeah, I was out towing a car to bring back for repair.

It was the first time Tony let me go out alone.

Kinda messed it up, though.

Couldn't get the cables to work quite right.

So, you text Tony to help?

Yeah, he came out and got the rig going again.

I towed the car back to the shop and that was that.

That's right. Ryan got back to the shop around 4PM or so,

towing a broken down car.

Alone?

Yeah. That's right. He finished his work,

so I sent him home for the day,

and caught up on paperwork.

And Rachel? Where was she?

I was home. All night.

Tony never came back.

I thought maybe he went to get a drink, but,

I talked to Harry at The Taproom.

Tony never showed up.

The last time I saw him we had that stupid argument.

That's all for today, Mrs. Patel.

We'll keep you up to date on anything we find out, alright.

Okay. Thank you for your time.

Thank you. Alright.

Melanie Abrams, seems your a tough person to chase down.

You're the one who's been following me?

The van? Not me.

I've only emailed and called before now.

I'm Robin Carole, from Pecanole Publishing.

Wanted to chat about that book deal.

Right, right, sorry.

I'm just, a little on edge.

Come on in.

Lot of buzz about you.

You've proven to have quite the keen eye

during your time at the Chronicle.

Buzz isn't always a good thing.

Been a fan for years.

I appreciate your kind words,

but I'm not sure I have any hot gossip for you.

I've taken a leave of absence from the Chronicle

and it's company policy that I never reveal my source.

Oh, I'm not asking you to.

I just want to hear your version of what happened

at that factory in Massachusetts.

I'm sorry, I'm just not interested.

I'm sorry to hear that.

You have my info, if you change your mind.

Something's been weighing on me all day.

I should've told you last night,

but I, I didn't think it's any of my business.

But now, Tony's M.I.A. And I...

It's okay. Talk to me.

I saw Tony with another woman.

Wait. What?

I was driving through town square a few weeks ago.

This driver was too busy making eyes with his passenger to

notice that the light had turned red.

Just drove straight through it.

Almost hit me.

And then I saw, it was Tony.

And a woman in his passenger seat

that was definitely not Rachel.

Are you sure it was him?

It was him. Yeah I didn't tell Rachel yet.

But I know what I saw.

Okay, you should go to the police.

Thought we could go together?

I don't know if I should be getting wrapped up in this.

Okay, it's your call. But, you in or out?

So, you recognized Tony, but not the woman?

Yeah, I, I just know is it wasn't Rachel.

And Rachel. Does she...

Haven't told her.

Figured we'd come to you first.

Hey, what if they faked

Tony's disappearance and they ran off together?

You watch too much Crime TV.

Fair point.

I do do a lot of late night binging.

Diana remembers seeing them the week of the Fifteenth.

She also mentioned to me, that you're responsible for

helping install traffic cams in town.

That's right.

Well, I figured if we can use traffic cam footage

to narrow down our search window and find her.

I'm sorry. uh, we?

I'll take a look at the traffic cam footage.

Thanks for the heads up.

So, that's it?

I'm sorry I thought we were going to maybe,

check out the footage.

You know, crack the case. Save the day.

Too much Crime TV. Copy that.

Look, I know you two are friends with Rachel and you mean well,

but I have this covered. Okay?

Uh, well, okay. Okay.

Good night. Good night.

Come on.

Alright. You welcome.

Bye bye!

Hey, so I pulled the calendar off Tony's phone like you asked.

We got lucky, the S-D card was fine.

I made a list of his whereabouts

in the days leading up to his disappearance.

And it looks like he trains with a personal trainer

at Spring's boxing every Thursday at 3.

I just need a minute of your time.

Look, you're not a client here.

So, I can't help you out.

Please. This is important.

Your 10AM just called in sick.

I'll take it.

You'll what?

You heard me.

I'm just a client in need of some training.

Hey, Dom! Come take a look at this.

Managed to track down that traffic cam footage of Tony.

Well those two certainly look cozy.

You don't recognize her?

No, but, uh,could be she's not from around here.

I could look into it.

Wherever she's is,

Tony could be there right there beside her.

And I aim to find out.

Not too shabby.

Seeing as I don't require much training,

maybe you could use the time to tell me about Tony Patel?

You don't quit! Look, Tony boxed here.

He started showing up late,

and then he stopped showing up about a month ago.

Any idea why?

Don't know, he paid for all his sessions,

so I didn't ask any questions.

You gotta be kidding me.

Oh. Hi, there.

Why are you here?

Training sesh. Too fit to quit.

So you just happened to be at this gym?

Small town.

Not exactly gym-appropriate attire.

You know why I'm here.

Lats? Quads? Oh! Is it leg day?

By the way,

I was having a little chat with my trainer, Jim.

It's Reuben.

Yeah, he was telling me that Tony

stopped coming about a month ago.

Okay, so where was he on Thursdays from 3 to 4pm then?

Somewhere he felt the need to lie about.

Would he happen to have a locker here, by chance?

And who are you? I don't see a...

Badge, okay. Never mind. That's a badge.

Follow me.

Any luck with that traffic cam footage?

Seeing as you clearly have a habit

of eavesdropping on police matters,

I'm gonna go with "no comment."

Oh, come on.

You didn't even have to break a sweat.

I saved you time here.

I find you mentally exhausting.

Does that count as a workout?

I get it.

All my brilliant ideas blowing your mind.

Hard to keep up.

Something like that.

There you go, all yours.

Thank you.

Try the side pocket.

Preferably stuffing trash into, particular random receipts.

Oh, okay.

Oh, here's one uh, for

Thursday, March 11th at 3PM.

Right around the time he's

usually here for his weekly session.

Looks like he was at a place called Smoothie Criminal.

That's a juice place in town.

Terrible name.

Great juice, though.

I could really use one right about now.

I'm not gonna get rid of you, am I?

Good afternoon, I'm Detective Jake Collins

from the Cherry Springs Police Department.

I'd like to ask you a few questions.

Happy to help, detectives.

Oh, she's not a detective.

Right. Just a customer.

You know, my friend Tony recommended this place to me.

Do you know him?

Oh, yeah. Tony? Sweet guy.

Great tipper. Came here like clockwork.

Did he seem out of sorts?

You know, he did seem kinda sad lately.

Sad.

Do you recognize this woman here in the photo with Tony?

So you did get that traffic cam footage.

I got that info for him. We're kind of a team.

Yeah actually, She and Tony, they'd come in at the same time.

And sometimes they'd leave together.

So you have security cameras?

Yeah. The whole block,

so dentist office, bookstore, coffee shop,

they're all on the same system.

Can you point us toward the security office?

Yeah, absolutely.

What she means is can you point ME to the security office.

Sure, it'll be on your right at the end of the block.

End of the block? Yup.

Thank you.

Hey, you don't want to forget this.

Thanks.

You mentioned there was a bookstore on the block?

Yup, it's right over there.

Thanks.

Bingo.

Thank you so much, officer.

That's right. Tony Patel.

Praying we can find him. Okay. Bye.

Excuse me.

Sorry. Didn't mean to eavesdrop.

Did you say Tony Patel is missing?

Do you know him?

We, uh, we're friends.

My name is Melanie.

I'm Emily.

I've been friends with Tony and his wife Rachel

since we were kids.

Do you know Rachel?

Afraid I don't.

Oh, she's really worried. We all are.

Do you have any idea where he might be?

I'm sorry, detective.

But I can't give you access to that footage

without a search warrant.

You gotta be kidding me.

When you two saw each other, what did you chat about?

It's... kinda private actually.

Any information you have could help me track him down.

Melanie, what do you think you're doing?

Ah! Detective Collins.

Emily here is a friend of Tony's.

Yeah, makes sense.

From the looks of things, you two were, pretty close.

He wanted me to keep things between us.

So, there was something between you?

I just mean he wanted me to keep things quiet.

About his diagnosis.

Tony, he has pancreatic cancer.

He didn't want anyone to know.

I feel bad saying anything.

Our support group urged him to tell his family.

Especially his wife.

I see how that photo looks.

I get it.

But Tony was just giving me a ride home.

I'd gotten some bad news that day.

I was in remission and found out my cancer was back.

I'm sorry to hear that.

I needed a friend. Nothing more.

Was there anything else weighing on Tony, besides his diagnosis?

Financial security for Rachel, in case anything happened.

But a few weeks ago he seemed in a better mood.

Said he figured something out.

How did you know to find her in that book store?

She could've been anywhere.

In the traffic cam photo there was a book on the dashboard.

The only books Tony ever reads is the sports section.

Smoothie gal mentioned a bookstore in the building.

Took a shot.

Heck of a shot.

Kind of like the snapshot you

illegally took of police evidence.

I found Emily because I know Tony.

And because I'm good at this.

Admit it. You could use my help.

I certainly could use your help at the next stop.

Yeah? Where's that?

To see your friend Rachel.

How could he not tell me he was sick?

Well, you know Tony.

He could break a leg and he'd try to walk it off.

He didn't want to worry you.

I wonder if Sarah Jane and his mother know about his cancer.

Emily said he didn't tell anyone.

So, that's it then?

He was sick and decided to call it quits.

No goodbye letter. Just goodbye.

He could still be out there.

That's right. You can't lose hope.

I'm gonna do everything in my power to track Tony down.

And you got a good friend here looking out for you.

I could use some company.

The house feels so empty without Tony there.

How about I invite Diana to stay over, too?

Like old times?

Sounds nice.

I know.

Okay, I'm going to make popcorn and we can put on a movie and...

Sounds good.

Go outside. Both of you. Call the police.

You sure? Just go. Go.

Who's there?

None of my jewelry is missing

and all of our electronics are still here.

What were they looking for?

Looks like the perp cut themselves on the way in.

I'll have it tested.

And see if they're in the system.

Can I talk to you for a sec?

Sure.

Excuse us. Yeah. Let's go.

Okay, this is totally just a hunch.

Not the best way to start.

Just hear me out.

Tony told his friend Emily that he'd figured out how to

take care of Rachel in case the worst happened.

That's right.

Maybe whatever this perp was looking for is the reason

Tony suddenly solved his money problems.

So, what, you think Tony had something valuable here?

And maybe someone was desperate to get whatever it was back.

Hey Jake, someone called the station asking for you.

Got a tip from a guy who said his son found

something in Tony Patel's abandoned car.

I was with my friend, near the road by Spring Woods

and we saw a car just like out there,

just left there, something.

Why didn't you report it?

I don't know.

Alright, go on. Give him what you took.

Oh, Mm mm, let's see what we got here.

Nine... Nineteen hundred.

Something weird about that number to you?

What are you my math teacher?

Hey!

You play ball?

Starting guard for the Cherry Springs Bulldogs.

Okay. Alright.

Bulldogs, you guys got a game tonight, right?

Man, it'd be a shame if you had to miss it,

I mean if I had to call you back in for questioning.

Don't look at me. I'm on his side.

Hey, two thousand.

Whelp, uh, thank you, appreciate it.

Thank you, officer.

Alright, who am I looking at?

That would be William Dixon.

The man who robbed Rachel's house.

Um, not bad, Dom.

Breaking records with that speed.

How'd you manage that?

Gotta love vigilant neighbors and those doorbell cameras.

I got a good shot of this guy breaking in

and was able to match him to a mugshot in our system.

Pretty hefty rap sheet, too.

Our boys are trying to locate him now.

Hmm, well, good work.

What do you got there?

Those kids found that in Tony's car.

Think it could be some of that

mystery money Tony suddenly came into?

Not sure. Tony's got priors, but from years ago.

Maybe worth a check in with our friends in vice.

You know see if there are any busts

with bills that are a match.

Can I tag along?

Sure thing.

Why? He's lawyered up and isn't talking.

Yup.

But I got something.

Turns out this guy attended a

Reform school for troubled youth.

You wanna know who else attended?

Ryan Monroe.

Tony's employee at the repair shop?

That's the one.

You want to know what else?

Ryan has a Juvenile record.

Then it's sealed.

Ryan doesn't know that.

You know the man in this photo?

Sorta. Billy went to my school,

but we weren't friends or anything.

Any idea what he was looking for at Rachel's?

How should I know?

We booked Mr. Dixon on breaking and entering.

He's not the only one.

Yeah, I got a record. So what?

He stole some parts from the shop a few years ago.

He was just a kid.

So, you took car parts from your employers?

Yeah and Tony stole an entire car when he was my age,

and he didn't end up a criminal!

He stole those parts before he was ever working for us.

Why'd you hire him?

Cause they're good guys who do nice things for people.

Tony arranged with the court so that

Ryan could work here as part of his probation.

So, you didn't want to be here?

Maybe not at first... But I do now.

So Tony and Andy don't press charges

and you end up working for them.

Is that right?

These guys saved my life.

These guys gave me a shot when no one could care less.

He's come a long way.

So, you had nothing to do with

the break in at Rachel's or Tony's disappearance?

I swear.

You swear?

Hey!

Look, I know you're on this whole

"teamwork makes the dream work" kick.

But we had an agreement if I find something

I will come to you.

That's not why I'm here.

Okay, I think someone's following me.

You see there.

These plates are false.

You said a van was following you.

Are you into some sort of trouble?

I've definitely made some enemies over the years.

That's for sure.

The Fall River factory, you mean?

I never said that.

I'm a detective.

You piqued my interest.

So, I did some digging.

Internet stalker, huh?

Curious as to why an award-winning journalist

at the peak of her career suddenly call it quits.

It was less of a peak and more of a cliff. Went over the edge.

So Cherry Springs is the bottom, then?

If being on the bottom means being under the radar,

then so be it.

Look, if you're in some trouble I can look into things further.

No, no. It's fine.

Don't go worrying about me.

The focus should be on finding Tony.

Alright.

You let me know if you change your mind,

you know where to find me.

I thought I was supposed to let you come to me?

I can bend some rules.

It's the perks of being in charge.

Alright.

Fish don't bite, the birds do sing.

Vice just got back to me.

Found a match on that roll of bills

those kids found in that car.

That right?

Yeah, could very well be dirty money tied

to that drug bust about a month ago.

What did Tony get himself into?

(Phone ringing)

Hey Uncle Joe, I'm actually making some chilli...

Sorry to cut you off, sweetheart.

I've been with the police all day.

I've got some bad news.

It's Tony. I found his body.

Cause of death, gunshot wound to the back.

No sign of the murder weapon.

So, whoever did it tossed him into the river.

And now that we know Tony's official time of death

was between 7 and 9PM, it clears William Dixon.

The guy who broke into Rachel's house?

He have an alibi?

It's solid.

He was at the River Rock Casino.

They sent over their time stamped security footage.

Least we got him for the B&E.

Yeah, Dixon might not have killed Tony,

but that break in and Tony's murder are related,

we just got to figure out how.

I wish I there was something better to say than, “I'm sorry”"

There are no right words.

You being here is enough.

I have to get back to the station.

But if you need anything, please don't hesitate to call.

Thank you, Jake.

You guys take care of each other.

Hi, Jake. Hi.

Hi, sweetie. Hey, I hope you don't mind.

I let myself in. I made a lasagna.

Thirty pounds of carbs just for you.

Oh, honey.

Hey.

You okay?

As okay as I can be.

I keep checking my phone,

thinking any second Tony'll text me some silly meme.

Thank you for taking care of Rachel.

She told me you've been putting

extra time at the doggy day care, too.

Whatever we can do, right?

Hey, where's Sarah Jane?

I called to tell her we'd all be here.

Tony and his sister had been on the outs the past few months.

Yeah, I heard them arguing at the festival.

About their mother? Yeah.

They had their hands full taking care of her

and trying to run businesses.

That's definitely stressful.

I think they took it out on each other.

But I can't imagine she'd ever hurt Tony.

No. I just wish she wasn't M-I-A for Rachel during all of this.

No kidding.

Hey, Melanie. What can I get you?

Well, we just missed you at Rachel's earlier.

Just wanted to check on you.

I appreciate that.

I'm just trying to focus on work because

if I dwell on it for a second I'll break down.

I'm so sorry.

And Mom is a wreck.

She's already got enough health issues as it is.

Tony had told me she was making some progress.

Not enough.

We need to sell Mom's house

and move her into a nursing home.

But, Tony thought differently.

I get it.

I'm in the process of having to sell my childhood home.

It's not easy. Lots of memories.

True.

But you'll be amazed at what real estate goes for these days.

You could sell for three times what your parents paid for it.

So now when you go to sell your mother's the house,

the profit's all yours?

I better get back to my customers.

Hi!

So you said you were Tony and Sarah Jane's cousin.

Yes.

I'm in for the funeral,

thought I'd just drop in and say hello to Aunt V.

Thanks for the tea.

Oh, it's no trouble.

Mrs. Patel should be up from her nap soon.

It's terrible what happened to Tony.

He was so sweet to his mother.

He visited all the time.

Yeah, Sarah Jane actually mentioned

wanting to move her to a nursing home.

I think that's the plan.

Do you think she needs to be moved?

In her current state, yes.

But it's a shame.

If you'd asked me a couple of weeks ago,

I'd say she was fine.

How strange. A rapid decline, huh?

Like somebody flipped a switch.

Forgetting things, extreme anger.

I thought it could possibly be a side effect of her medication.

Right.

Sarah Jane mentioned a prescription

that was doing wonders for Aunt V.

Oh what was it called, something hard to pronounce.

Memantine.

That's it! And you've been keeping up with it?

Sarah Jane administers all her meds.

I'm just with Mrs. Patel in the afternoons.

Hi. I need to pick up my Mom's Memantine prescription.

Name is Vera Patel. Date of birth is 4/23/50.

Please verify the address.

27 Fairdale Road.

We called you to pick up this prescription weeks ago.

I'm sorry.

Things have been unusually hectic lately.

It's very dangerous to stop taking that medication abruptly.

Mom has been acting differently lately.

Are violent outbursts and memory loss side effects?

Yes. It's very common with

Alzheimer's patients stopping Memantine.

I'll fill it for you now.

Thank you.

(Phone ringing)

So you think Tony is getting in the way

of Sarah Jane's career aspirations?

She wants to open a coffee shop inside the Twila center.

She told me herself.

Selling her mom's house gives her the money to fund it.

I gotta say, this is good.

Never thought I'd hear you say that.

No, I mean your Uncle's fries.

But yeah. This is a solid lead.

How's Rachel doing?

She's keeping her head up. I don't know how she does it.

It ain't easy. That's for sure.

I'm gathering you know from personal experience?

Friend on the force back in the Big Apple?

My wife.

I'm sorry. I shouldn't have.

No, no. It's fine. I mean...

We were assigned partners.

Real competitive.

First I was hot on her heels, then head over heels.

First came love, then came Lucas.

New York is a city that doesn't plays nice.

We knew what we were doing was dangerous.

But we figured, you know, hey,

we'll move somewhere safe for Lucas.

But before we could...

Liquor store shootout and a stray bullet caught her.

I'm so sorry, Jake.

You know after she died, everywhere I looked,

just reminded me of her.

So I figured you know, hey,

come to a new new place.

Well it doesn't get easier, just different.

That's right. Look, I know I've given you a hard time,

and I'm sorry. I just don't want to

anyone else getting hurt on my watch.

I appreciate it, but I can take care of myself.

You sound like Shae.

Okay, uh, let's press reset.

So, Whoever trashed Rachel's house

was looking for something valuable.

Right. Something Tony had to provide

for Rachel after he died.

So, we've searched the house, doggy daycare and Tony's car.

we searched the auto shop,

What, what is it?

I talked to this kid.

He said he found cash in Tony's car.

I need to take another look at that GTO.

You can take that to forensics, yeah.

There's gotta be some secret compartment,

false bottom, something we missed.

Man, I'd love to drive a car like this someday.

Stick to the task at hand

and maybe you will, young grasshopper.

Dom, come take a look at this.

Does the stitching on the passenger seat look

a different color than on the driver's side?

I mean, maybe slightly.

But it's an old car.

Sun might've faded it?

Or because it's a different thread,

because one of these seats has been opened

and stitched back up.

Whoa!

Would you look at that.

What's he doing with this kind of cash?

My guess?

This is Tony's insurance plan he had hidden away for his wife.

What is all that?

You tell me.

Found it in your brother's car. Over a hundred K.

I have no idea.

I think you found out about Tony's stash.

Got him out of the way,

then you hired someone to toss his house looking for the cash.

I didn't kill my brother. I loved Tony.

What about you Mom? You love her?

Of course.

Withholding medication that don't sound like love to me.

Should I get a lawyer or something?

I don't know. Should you?

I've been putting in long hours at the coffee truck

and forgot to pick it up, okay?

I don't buy it. I don't buy it.

I think you sabotaged your mother's health

to sell her house for your own gain.

So, my question is what would you willing to do

to your brother Tony to get your hands on this cash?

I know nothing about that money.

And even if I had the money,

I wouldn't lease a space from the Twila Center now.

Why's that?

Dan Birch said the center isn't off to a hot start financially

so I'm holding off.

Well you know not opening a coffee shop

doesn't exactly exonerate you.

Can I please go now?

You can go.

But don't make too many plans, Ms. Patel.

Thank you everyone for coming.

And thank you to Dan Birch for hosting us here.

Tony was my best friend

and he was the most generous person that I've ever known.

You wanted the shirt off his back?

You just ask him for it.

I didn't know the first thing about cars til I met him.

But he had this infectious enthusiasm

for everything that he loved.

His wife, Rachel, knows what I'm talking about.

And I can tell you without any doubt,

that he loved you more than anything in this world.

I miss her, too.

It's like I can feel her with me, in this house.

There's no rush to sell.

Would it be so bad to stay a bit?

I admit, it is tempting sometimes.

It wouldn't have to be here,

although of course that would be my first choice.

I would just love to see you settle somewhere

where you could be happy.

Call someplace home.

You know the dinner rush is callin'.

(Phone ringing)

Hey Diana! What's up?

You don't say?

This is the deed, signed by Mrs. Patel.

Diana knows her realtor.

And this is Mrs. Patel's signature on a tax document

from last year that Rachel got for me.

The signatures don't match.

How can you be...

You see those tiny dots?

Often the forger will pause to refer back to the original

signature and then press down on the paper

when they begin the stroke again,

causing these ink blots there.

Where did you learn that?

Research for an article I wrote

about a forged letter at a museum.

Huh. So Sarah Jane forges her mother's signature

and takes ownership of the house.

But she's not opening a coffee shop,

so why the need for fast cash?

She's not?

She told me Dan Birch said the center's in the red,

so it's not worth her while.

Really?

Because Dan told Diana that he paid for

all of Tony's funeral costs.

Why would he volunteer to do that

when the center is financially trouble?

Very strange.

Especially for two men who weren't close.

You make a big show of your generosity

because you're feeling guilty or redirecting focus.

If Dan and Tony were into something,

that's probably why they wanted

Sarah Jane out of the center.

So she wouldn't get a whiff of whatever they had going on.

I'm gonna track down Dan, see what's what.

But I like where your head's at.

Like peanut butter and chocolate, the two of us.

I wouldn't go that far.

Sarah Jane must be confused.

Like any new business we've had our growing pains.

But we're doing fine.

Then why tell her she couldn't move her

coffee shop into the center?

I don't mean to be rude,

but Sarah Jane is not the most reliable person.

I think it best she stick to operating her truck

outside in the warmer months.

She said you paid for Tony's funeral expenses.

That's pretty generous for a guy you barely knew.

Tony came to me a while back,

asking if the center made

charitable contributions to individuals

for cancer treatment. Unfortunately, we don't.

Anyone else know about this visit?

No. Tony wanted to keep his diagnosis private.

I felt horrible about turning him away

so I paid for everything out of my own pocket,

it was the least I could do.

Where were you on April 17th, between 7 and 9PM?

That the night Tony was murdered?

Let's see.

I was at dinner with Maureen Silver,

she serves on the board at the center.

Do you have receipt?

I'm sure my secretary filed it.

(phone ringing)

Thank you.

Yeah.

Hello, Detective Collins, this is Estelle Bradley.

I'm the Patel's real estate agent, returning your call.

Yeah thanks for getting back to me.

I was wondering, uh could tell me

the day and time Sarah Jane was in your office?

Sure. Give me a just a moment.

Actually, we signed at the property. Ms. Patel asked

that we meet after work on Sunday the seventeenth.

I arrived just before seven

and we finished up around quarter to nine.

Nine, okay.

Um, and you were you with them the whole time?

I did step away to take a call.

I was gone five, maybe ten minutes.

So, Sarah Jane was forging documents

during Tony's time of death.

Her alibi's clean.

I'll keep pressing Dan Birch.

Right now he's our only person of interest.

I found some old photos in the back of Tony's closet.

Look at you guys in your football jerseys!

Rach, can I keep some of these?

I'd love to frame them for the shop.

Yeah, of course. Whatever you want.

We're all here for you, you know that.

Look Uncle Joe, don't worry I'm fine.

It's just a minor concussion and some bruises.

I think it's best you let Jake

take care of things from now on.

But what about Rachel? She's my friend.

Exactly! And she wants you to be alive.

With your mother gone,

you're the only family that I have left.

I'm sorry to worry you.

I promise to be careful, okay.

Yeah, look, it's been a long day.

I think I'm going to go ahead and take a walk.

I'll be back.

Hey Joe. Hi girls.

Hi! Oh, you two are a sight for sore eyes.

I think I gave him a scare.

We were all so worried. Thank goodness you're okay.

I'm very lucky.

What happened?

My brakes, they just... gave out.

That doesn't make any sense.

I mean, Tony would never let you borrow an unsafe car.

I had it towed to the shop, Andy will get it sorted out.

I'm just waiting for my discharge papers.

You think someone tampered with your car?

We should tell the cops.

Let's not jump to conclusions.

I dunno, Mel. She might be right.

Look, I appreciate you both looking out for me, really.

But whatever it is, I'll handle it.

What are you doing here?

Rachel told me about the accident.

Why didn't you call me?

I just... I wanted to get more information first.

It's nothing.

It's not nothing.

This is the exact thing I was afraid might happen,

you get caught up in Tony's investigation

and you put yourself in harm's way.

Well, if I was actually targeted,

all the more reason to find Tony's killer fast.

Mel!

We just finished inspecting your car

and it looks like someone tampered with your brakes.

How can you be sure?

The car had a complete work-up before Tony gave it to you.

Yeah, I changed the brake pads myself.

But it looks like someone cut through the brake lines.

But, not completely though,

cause you didn't notice when you started the car.

Well, whoever did this was smart, then.

They gambled the lines would

snap first time you hit the brakes.

I'm gonna to need that paperwork from the full work-up

before it was loaned to Melanie.

As well as what you inspected today.

Yeah, yeah, of course.

I'm opening up a full investigation.

No arguing.

Okay, you're clear on the plan?

I can not believe you suckered me into this.

It's for Rachel.

Yup.

Dan! Fancy seeing you here!

Hi. Hello, ladies!

I heard the fried clam lunch special was amazing.

I had to try it for myself!

Yes it is! I come here once a week for my cheat meal.

Okay. You guys want to join me?

Oh, sure. Love to.

Awesome. Great.

Remember the Cherry Springs production of West Side Story?

Oh, no. What?

You were a great Officer Krupke.

My granddaughter though, she's been bitten by the theater bug.

She starred as Annie last fall.

That is wonderful. Let me see. Let me see a pictures?

It's about time you asked.

OK, let's see, let's see.

Okay, hang on one sec.

Sadie is so grown up.

I remember when she was born.

Do you know what goes really well with fried clams?

Key lime pie! Who wants to go halfsies?

No cheat meal's complete without dessert!

Yeah. None for me.

I've gone a little overboard lately.

Alright, you and me. Let's go.

Come on, kiddo.

Come on. Come on.

Oh, no! Hey!

Okay, no problem, no problem, I'll just get some napkins.

Hang on.

Almost there.

How long does it take to clone a phone?

Okay, here we go.

Let's get this cleaned up.

Here you go.

I managed to save it before the deluge.

Oh, thank you.

Alright, let's eat.

Oh, I love this.

Waiting on an important call?

Uh, something like that.

You promised me you would let Jake handle things.

I know. I know. Okay I just...

I keep thinking that if I can help find Tony's killer,

if I can give Rachel justice, then maybe I can redeem myself,

in some small way.

Oh, honey.

Tell me what happened in Fall River.

You mean what wasn't published?

That's right.

As far as I can see, warning people about a factory

abusing it's workers is a good thing.

I wanted the front page.

So my editor let me hold the story.

That week, a factory worker died.

That's exactly what your article was about.

Negligence and poor working conditions.

Yes, but had I published the article sooner,

he might still be alive.

Your aim was to help people, you gotta cut yourself some slack.

I thought that article would

actually force the owner to improve conditions

but he just closed down the factory and moved it abroad.

We all go through life, doing the best we can

with the information that we have, at the time.

All those poor people in Fall River out of work.

Look at me.

Yes, they all need new jobs,

but at least they're alive to do it. Thanks to you!

I hope someday I can see it like you do.

(Phone ringing)

Uncle Joe, Can I borrow your car!

Yeah.

Be careful.

Thank you. Alright.

Jake! Meet me at Dan Birch's house right now.

I'll tell you when we get there! Just hurry!

Oh, why is the door open like that?

That's strange.

Stay here.

This is Collins.

I'm going to need backup.

For a unresponsive male with a gunshot wound to the chest.

Confirming the victim as homeowner, Dan Birch.

Dan's laptop, it's password protected,

so we'll take it to the station,

We'll have cyber crimes work on it.

Great. Um, run Dan's personal financials, also.

Yeah, you got it. Alright.

You okay?

I will be. Guess it's just hitting me.

It's a lot. Take all the time you need.

We found Dan Birch's cell.

Password is 2356.

I don't even want to know how you know that.

I looked over his shoulder.

Kinda like you're doing now?

And I cloned his phone.

Cloning a phone is illegal.

Let's call it questionable.

I already know the rules, I deleted the app.

There. I saw that text.

"Cops talked to me today. You need to fix this ASAP."

Can you trace that number?

I don't know, I don't recognize the area code.

It's probably from a burner phone.

It's untraceable.

You still think Ryan Monroe is innocent?

Look, I've been here for almost two hours.

And I'm starving.

Could I at least get water or something?

Later.

I'm gonna tell you something.

Dan sent a text saying you were getting greedy

and they want to cut you out.

I'm not the only guy in town with the last name Monroe.

Don't play games with me.

Cut you out of what? What did y'all have going on?

I have no idea! I barely knew the guy,

the first time I talked to him was at Tony's memorial service!

So you don't know Dan Birch.

And you don't know William Dixon,

who's awaiting trial for breaking into Rachel's house.

Good. I'm glad you caught him.

Looks like sometimes you can do your job well.

You are hiding something from me.

No, I'm not.

What are you doing here?

Figured Jake wouldn't have enough

to charge you with and you'd be released.

Exactly. Because I didn't do anything.

I think so, too.

The only way to clear your name

is to figure out who's trying to throw you under the bus.

I know you don't know me very well,

but would you be willing to sit down and talk?

Dom. Come in here and look at this?

Yeah.

Cyber was able to get into Dan Birch's laptop.

Take a look.

A few months ago, Dan Birch was close to declaring bankruptcy.

Had three personal credit cards, maxed out.

Okay...

Now, last week, right before Tony disappearance.

Dan Birch paid out all his debts in giant, lump sum payments.

Not only that,

he's got a pretty hefty sum in his checking.

Dan Birch was laundering money

through fake accounts at the center.

Whoa. But why? And for who?

I don't know,

but the money found in Tony's car

was scrubbed clean by none other than Dan Birch.

And you're sure Dan never came into the shop.

Tony never mentioned doing any business with him?

No. Nothing.

I really miss Tony.

The garage isn't the same without him around.

How's it been, working with Andy?

He's a great, too.

You know, um, they're both real generous.

Andy's been letting me leave early,

but still gives me a full days pay, so.

That's nice of him. Yeah.

Shop would be swimming in cash if it wasn't for all the

family and friends discounts they give out.

I'm guessing those freebies are left off the books?

Pretty sure.

Do you know any of the other customers

that they loaned cars up to recently?

No, no, that's Andy's thing.

Yeah, the cars are gone for a week or two at a time.

The cars come back, Andy services them.

If you were going to hide something in a car,

where might you stash it?

Behind the AC vent or inside the spare tire.

If you wanted to get real clever with it

you could make a secret compartment onto a car part,

like a muffler or something.

Not that I have any personal experience in that.

Why?

Oh, just curious.

You know what, you stay and finish.

Whatever meal that is.

There's something I got to look into.

So I was going over the River Rock Casino security footage.

Thought I'd spot Ryan with William,

catch Ryan in a lie.

And did you?

No. But I found something even more interesting.

That's Dan Birch!

And there's William Dixon, who we know was involved

was involved in a local drug gang.

The only reason why

an upstanding citizen would get involved

in cleaning money for a local drug gang

is greed and desperation.

Yeah, and based on Dan's finances

we know it's the latter.

I'd bet the farm, our boy Dan was a gambling addict.

That's where all his money went, the River Rock Casino.

You know Dan never did alibi out.

He could be Tony's killer.

But then, who killed Dan?

(Phone ringing)

Yeah, okay, we'll be right there.

That was the coroner.

He just finished Dan's autopsy.

Let's go. Yeah.

Melanie.

Andy.

How'd you get in here?

What is that?

Looks to me like drugs.

Ah, Tony.

I knew he was desperate for money

to leave behind for Rachel.

But do you think he...?

Dan Birch is dead.

What? How?

Someone shot him.

So he was involved with Tony?

Who... was Ryan involved?

The police seem to think so.

This is crazy.

Well, it certainly is.

You know, before Dan died,

he texted with someone about Ryan.

Who?

The police don't know.

It was to a burner phone.

That's too bad.

Yeah.

(Phone ringing)

Ryan mentioned you've been letting him leave work early.

Made me wonder what was going on here after he left.

TOD for Dan Birch is 9:07PM.

9:07?

That's awfully exact.

Well he had a pacemaker.

The thing recorded his very last heartbeat.

Dominic, the last text that Dan Birch sent,

the one that incriminated Ryan, was 9:12.

Well that certainly complicates things

since dead men don't text.

We got to run, Doc. Thanks.

Why couldn't you just mind your own business, Mel?

You were running drugs through the shop.

You killed Dan Birch. And you killed Tony.

I didn't kill them, okay. I swear I didn't kill them.

Okay, then put the gun down. Just, tell me what happened.

A couple guys approached me, offering me a lot of money.

It's supposed to be easy.

Bring in cars with these special mufflers.

I remove them, I get the drugs out,

I reinstall the mufflers. That's it.

Why would you get involved with something illegal

when you have so much going on for you at the shop?

Because I wanted something of my own.

My name might be on that sign out front,

but this place was Tony's.

I thought you were best friends.

I know.

And I loved that guy like a brother.

But Tony called the shots and I'd had enough.

So, I thought I could make some quick cash

I could finally open up a place of my own.

How did Dan get involved?

We needed somebody to clean the cash.

So he ran it through the Twila Center.

Why would he agree to do that?

Because Dan's a gambling addict and he's up to his ears in debt,

It wasn't hard to convince him.

And everything was working out fine,

and then Dan got greedy.

And he took bigger risks.

And we got way in way over our heads.

So, what happened?

Tony happened.

He found a bunch of cash and he wanted answers.

I tried to explain it to him.

When that didn't work I tried to cut him in.

He told me I had one week to stop

the operation or he'd tell the cops.

But Tony kept the money for Rachel.

How did you know that?

The police found it sewn into the seat of his car.

Yeah, I looked everywhere for it.

Cause I knew if I couldn't up with that cash

I'd be on the hook.

So, you sent William Dixon to break into Rachel's house?

And you cut my brakes because

you knew I was getting close to the truth?

No, that wasn't me.

I swear, Mel, I had nothing to do with that.

Okay, so, Dan killed Tony,

the drug dealers killed Dan and you framed Ryan?

I found Dan's body after the dealers killed him

and I sent that text.

Ryan's a good kid. Okay.

But, I was desperate.

Okay, Andy look, you made some bad choices.

But you don't have... Listen you can turn this around.

Okay, just, just, give me the gun.

I can help you.

You said it yourself.

I've made a mess. And now I got to clean it up.

Talk to me Andy. Okay, just, just...

It doesn't have to end with one of us getting hurt.

Okay.

I'm sorry, Mel.

I thought I told you to finish eating your pancakes.

I suspected the same thing you did,

and I lost my appetite.

Police, show me your hands!

Thanks for coming.

Are you okay?

I will be. Just a little shaky.

You have the right to remain silent.

How'd you figure it out?

Oh, something Ryan told me

because I know how to get people to open up to me.

What you did was extremely dangerous.

You don't listen.

But you're a good investigator.

And a good friend.

Thank you.

Oh! Hi! Hello!

These are for you.

Aww, they're beautiful.

I picked them out.

That's so sweet.

There's something I want to say and it can't wait.

On the list of things that Tony loved most,

his shop was only second to me.

So, Ryan I want you to take over.

Tony would be so happy that it lives on.

What do you think?

Yes! Of course. Wow!

Thank you, Rachel.

I won't let you down.

Tony would be really proud of you.

To Ryan!

To Tony.

To Tony!

To Tony!

Actually, I have my own good news to share.

I called my publisher this morning

and I've decided to write about my experience in Fall River.

Yes.

And I figured what better place to write a book

than surrounded by all the people I love.

Oh, so you're staying!?

Yes. Yes. Yeah. You see.

So, I looked into it and the day your brakes were cut

Andy and Ryan were five hours away picking up car parts.

So he was telling the truth.

Hey, we'll get to the bottom of this.

But in the meantime, just be careful.

I will. Thank you.

Alright.

Lucas, tell Bogie you'll see him soon.

Bye, Bogie.

See ya. Bye.

Tony's investigation proved I can't just stand

on the sidelines when there's injustice at play.

It's like my uncle always says.

Helping people is what I do.

I didn't want to tell my story, but I realize I have to.

So here goes.
