Original subtitles

What else do you see?

I don't... at least not much.

Solving cases isn't always about what you see.

Hey, hey, hey, sis!

You don't want to hear crap about my wedding.

Tell me everything.

It's going pretty great, actually.

I feel like I'm getting retraumatized

every night.

I think that's PTSD.

Tess, I'm so stuck.

Have you thought about therapy?

Talking to someone?

25% of our tenants are therapists.

Maybe you could call one.

Unknown caller.

Hello?

Tess, I messed up. I'm in trouble.

Lucas?

What is it, what happened?

I was trying to do something good.

You know, I thought if I could maybe make enough for...

for a honeymoon,

or a downpayment on a house or something,

you know, maybe surprise Craig for the wedding,

but then everything went wrong...

Okay, just slow down.

What... what did you do?

I lost it!

Everything!

They said it would double in a week.

They even took my phone!

Okay. Lucas...

And now I can't go home. I can't go home.

- It's over. - Nothing is over.

Listen to me. I want you to call Craig...

No! I can't talk to him.

I can't see him.

Hey, listen to me.

Tell me where you are. I'm coming to get you.

It's over.

Lucas.

Lucas!

Tess.

Tess!

Hey?

What's going on? You okay?

Can you tell me a bit about your daughter,

Mrs. Okeke?

She looks frightened.

We're here to help.

I promise.

I get nervous being here.

My community has had...

bad experiences.

You ask for help and you don't get it.

Or you end up being a suspect yourself.

I hear you...

and if it makes any difference,

I'm not an officer.

I'm just a consultant.

Why don't you tell me something about your daughter?

What's her favourite food?

Cream of mushroom soup.

- Oof. - I know.

My husband and I can't stand it.

Good. She's relaxing.

Aretha's in her last year of college,

so she's busy.

Always on the go.

But...

she always makes time to sing in our church's choir.

My husband's the pastor.

He teases the new members...

"Once you hear our daughter sing... "

We'll need to speak to your husband as well.

He doesn't know that I'm here.

He wants to keep the police out of it.

When's the last time you spoke to her?

Two days ago.

Um...

This is a video

from the church's security camera.

It was taken the night Aretha disappeared.

It's black and white security footage of a woman.

She's wearing a hoodie.

She's trying to get into the church,

but it's locked.

Mrs. Okeke, do you have any idea

who your daughter might be running from?

I don't know. I don't... I don't know.

We're going to find her.

I promise.

Hi. I'm super busy

and totally not screening your call right now, I swear.

Leave a message.

Lucas, I know you don't have your phone,

but I hope you're checking your messages.

What is going on?

Craig keeps calling me

and I don't know what to tell him.

Look, I know you're scared,

but nothing is unfixable, okay,

so just let me help you.

Just... let me know you're okay.

Veer to your right, five paces ahead.

Despite what you think,

money cannot solve everything, Stephen!

But it can help, Nnamdi.

Life does not consist

in an abundance of possessions...

- Dad, he doesn't want it... - So why not?

Two older men are arguing.

The younger one's trying to calm them down.

Have you forgotten

that "the love of money

is the root of all kinds of evil"?

Wow, this must be the pastor,

Dionne's husband, Nnamdi.

I am offering a reward to help find your daughter.

I do not need your help to take care of my family.

- Hey. - It's getting physical.

Pastor Okeke.

I understand you're upset,

but our best shot at finding your daughter

is by working together.

- Who are you? - I'm Tess Avery.

I'm a consultant with the police.

Dionne spoke to you?

Sir, your wife is scared.

And she just wants the same thing you want...

the same thing I want...

your daughter Aretha home,

safe and sound.

I protect my family.

Not you!

I'm sorry about this.

We're all very worried.

I'm Stephen,

the church's choir director.

And this is my son, Reggie.

How can we help?

? Holy, holy, holy... ?

Aretha's singing.

Stephen's playing piano.

She has a real talent.

? God in three persons... ?

? Blessed Trinity ?

When's the last time you saw Aretha?

Four days ago.

We rehearsed together.

And did either of you notice anything unusual

about her behaviour recently?

The last few months,

she'd been showing up pretty late to choir,

and I noticed she was kind of distracted...

Which was not like her.

I assumed it was college-related.

She puts a lot of pressure on herself to achieve...

something I pray that Reggie learns one day.

The son has more to say.

After my wife died,

the Okekes were there for us.

Helped me take care of Reggie while I worked.

? If you need ripe breadfruit ?

? A.S.A.P... ?

? Call us up at... ?

? S.T.P. ?

Okay, Dad, cut it out.

S.T.P. needs some TLC.

We just finished a reno.

Pastor Nnamdi insists on perfection, so...

- Watch your left. - ... he did most of it himself.

Good, right?

- Yeah... - Reggie... straight ahead.

This is where

Aretha keeps all her music stuff.

She's always rehearsing with my dad.

A notebook...

cool design...

sheet music...

Reggie, I got the sense

there was something else

that you wanted to share earlier.

Aretha dropped out of school three months ago,

but she told me not to tell anyone.

Do you know why?

No, but it might have

something to do with the guy she's been seeing secretly.

Why wouldn't she tell anyone she had a boyfriend?

The pastor and his wife are very strict.

You don't want to disobey them.

Parking lot's 30 feet ahead.

All clear.

Aretha dropped out three months ago,

and there's no sign of a boyfriend

on her socials,

although, apparently, she's good at hiding things.

She kept posting selfies from college

for three months

after she dropped out.

Anything else?

I found an old post of a family photo.

I think Aretha might have a brother.

He looks a couple years older.

- Left. - Dionne never mentioned him.

Oh, there's Leo, seven steps ahead.

- He's standing next to a car. - Leo.

- Hey. - Hey. This Aretha's?

Yeah.

Parking attendant found it

with the driver's door wide open,

the key fob in the cup holder.

Any CCTV?

No.

But we do have signs of a potential struggle.

The rearview mirror's banged up,

there's makeup on the driver's seat...

and a whole lotta sequins.

Can I get a closer look?

Uncover your camera.

There's something on the carseat.

Stop.

Red lipstick.

Glittery makeup.

Plus the sequins.

This is far more glamorous than the Aretha I've seen.

On the security footage at the church,

she was wearing sweats and a hoodie.

- Thanks. - Tess?

- Yeah? - I also found this.

It's a guitar pick.

"For my #1 soloist,

love S.T.P."

And some kind of spiral sticker.

S.T.P. Importers...

that's Stephen's company and his initials.

A gift from her choir director.

That's the same symbol

as the one on Aretha's music book

at the church.

Okay, I'm doing an image search.

Redux Bar...

I think I might know

where Aretha's been wearing that red lipstick.

? We are here in this world ?

? And we can't be messin' around... ?

Wow. What am I listening to?

Aretha's band...

Coco and Dasheen.

I found them on the bar's Instagram.

You know, they've performed there

almost a dozen times over the last three months.

Starting when she dropped out of college.

Exactly.

Oh, and Tess,

she's wearing a pink wig,

heels, sequin dress,

and red lipstick.

This is definitely not the Aretha her parents know.

We should talk to her band mates.

And Stephen, again.

You know that personalized guitar pick he gave her?

He might know more than he's saying.

Maybe he's the reason

she was at the church that night.

Yeah, maybe.

Maybe he's why she was scared.

Why is she running in that video?

I mean, why run to the church

instead of going home?

Shame...

for dropping out...

or having a boyfriend,

or the assault.

It's hard for first-generation kids.

The pressure to be perfect

can feel like life or death.

Or maybe she's not running anymore.

Maybe whoever was chasing her caught up.

Let's see how close she and Stephen are.

Call from Superintendent Bennett.

Hang on.

- Sir? - Tess, Stephen Pearson was attacked.

He was found in a pool of blood.

- When? - Unclear.

We need you at the church, ASAP.

Okay, I'm coming in right now.

There's Leo, 11 o'clock.

Leo, hey, what happened?

Stephen Pearson,

the church's choir director,

was found stabbed multiple times.

Ambulance just took him to VGH,

but he's gonna need a miracle.

He's in critical condition.

Your missing persons case

may have just turned into a homicide.

I know that smell, it's so familiar, but I can't place it.

I can't believe we were just talking to him earlier today.

Tess, Forensics just got

the download from the surgical team.

They found flecks

of a white substance in the wound

and a couple strands of pink hair on Stephen's body.

Entry wound was jagged,

suggesting a serrated blade.

Anything else from FIS?

His phone and wallet are missing as well.

The church has had break-ins before,

but never a violent attack like this.

Whoever it was

ripped the security cameras right out of the wall.

Tess, the wig.

Aretha Okeke...

she wears a pink wig on stage.

Where is he?

- Where is he? - No, no, no, no, no, no, no!

You need to calm down.

It's Reggie. With Aretha's parents.

Hey, Reggie, hey.

Look, I am sorry,

but until we've had the chance to talk to him,

nobody is going in there.

This is an attempted homicide investigation.

Investigation?

This boy is talking about his father.

Sweetheart, please.

I understand everyone is upset...

but the best thing you can do right now

is help us find who did this.

Help you?

You were supposed to help us!

Now look at what's happened!

I am done talking to you people.

I thought you were different.

Are you still searching for my daughter?

Or is a missing Black girl

not as exciting as Stephen's attack?

Did you know that your daughter

dropped out of school three months ago?

Gonna say he didn't.

That is impossible.

We also have information

indicating that she might have a boyfriend.

Do you have any idea who that could be?

I do not.

You and the choir director

don't seem to get along too well.

I have known Stephen for over 20 years.

He is like a brother to me,

and like brothers, we...

we sometimes disagree.

Yes, I witnessed one of those disagreements.

I think I'd call it more of a fight.

Tess, there's a bandage on his right hand.

What happened to your hand?

I cut myself.

Installing drywall.

Do you know anyone

who would want to hurt your father?

He runs a successful business.

Clients or competitors?

Disgruntled employees?

No.

Everybody loves my dad.

He gives a lot to the community.

He gives everything to the community.

I mean, he's barely home.

Where were you when your father was attacked, Reggie?

I was at a pastor's meeting.

I came home after my wife was asleep.

Was she home all night?

Yes.

She had a zoom with her sister.

You have a son, correct?

His name is Fraser?

Does Aretha have contact with him?

He does not look happy.

No.

None of us do.

He got involved with drugs.

He has not been part of our family

for a long time now.

Do you recognize this?

"Love, S.T.P."

Those are Stephen's initials.

Does he often give Aretha gifts?

You caught him off-guard.

The missing girl...

she remains a person of interest in the attempted homicide.

The gift from Stephen,

the pink hair that could place her at the scene,

her continued disappearance...

- it adds up. - Let's see what comes back on the hair.

What about Stephen's son?

Reggie has an alibi.

- We're checking it. - We should check the pastor and his wife, too.

If Aretha and Stephen do have a relationship,

I can't imagine him reacting with a cool head.

And he has a cut on his hand.

Have you spoken with Aretha's band?

Their alibis all check out.

But no one was aware of a boyfriend.

Nnamdi was refusing Stephen's offer

of a reward to help find Aretha.

You think he'd be happy to have a reward posted.

Well, definitely not from Stephen.

Well, maybe Nnamdi knows

something about Stephen's business that we don't.

His company's financials just came in.

I know somebody who can help check them out.

I don't want to know.

So you still haven't heard from Lucas either?

Not since the day before yesterday,

but he sounded like a million bucks.

Yeah, well, yesterday,

he sounded like he'd lost it all,

and now...

I don't even know where he is.

You think he did this on purpose?

To blow things up with Craig?

Felt the white picket fence closing in on him.

I don't know.

Maybe.

In my experience,

if Lucas doesn't want to be found,

you ain't gonna find him.

But he always comes back.

He's gonna be okay, Tess.

Trust me.

That's what I told Aretha's mom.

Okay, so I created an algorithm

to flag anomalies in Stephen's finances,

and we've got...

several small payments made three months ago

to a Dionne Okeke.

Aretha's mother.

Looks like they total 10,000.

Tess,

that timing lines up

with when Aretha dropped out and joined the band.

I'm starting to feel like

Dionne knows more than she's letting on.

You're gonna have to eat humble pie

to get back into her good books.

Want to drive me to the pie shop?

You're buying.

- Yup. Uh-huh. - Leo.

Thank you.

A uniform at the church

found a cell phone in a garbage bin.

They think it belongs to Stephen Pearson.

They're bringing it in now.

What did you learn?

Reggie's alibi holds.

He signed into an editing suite at college

the night his father was attacked.

And a zoom log confirms

Dionne and her sister talked for two hours

that same night.

What about Nnamdi?

This is where it gets interesting.

He never showed up at his pastor's meeting.

Also,

someone fitting Aretha's description

was caught on CCTV near the church

the night Stephen was attacked there.

What are you thinking?

I'm thinking maybe Nnamdi found his daughter with Stephen

and didn't like what he saw.

So Nnamdi could be our attacker.

I'm sorry, for how I was at the hospital.

Can you talk to me

about the money Stephen gave you?

That was for my son.

Fraser.

A way to make up for the time he spent on his own.

He lives across the country now. He's doing well.

He has student loans.

I was told you weren't on speaking terms.

We reconnected a few months ago.

Nnamdi doesn't know.

Or he pretends not to.

I called Fraser today

to see if he'd heard from Aretha.

And...

to tell him the news about Stephen.

And what did he say?

He hadn't heard from Aretha,

but he knew she was playing in a band.

I was so upset he hadn't told me,

or at least to tell me

that he and Aretha were speaking again.

But then I realized...

I'm doing the same thing with Fraser and Nnamdi.

This family's got secrets.

Does your husband know about the money from Stephen?

You've hit on something.

I think so.

I think that's why he's been so angry lately.

He just hated the fact

that I brought Stephen into our private business.

That's why he was so upset at the church.

Stephen's offer of a reward...

your husband thought

he was throwing money at your family again.

Nnamdi is gentle.

Compassionate.

But he has a temper. Always has.

He tries to fight it, but...

it's always there...

inside him.

And when this temper gets hold of him,

what do you think he's capable of?

So Nnamdi hated that Stephen

got involved in his family's affairs.

Add in Stephen's connection to Aretha

and the fact that she goes missing...

it could be an explosive cocktail.

My dad would have kicked some ass

if he ever thought

one of his friends was hitting up my sister.

Sounds like my mom.

The amount of fear

she would put into people twice her size.

You know, I remember one time...

she was screaming at my teacher

for giving me a B-minus.

Everyone at school could hear her.

That's how she showed love.

She would have killed for her kids.

You never talk about her.

Her name is Varneet.

It means calm.

She's anything but.

Hang on. We're just turning into the hospital.

Reggie's seated against the wall

and to the right, three paces.

Hi, Reggie.

They told me your dad's still unconscious,

but he can have visitors now.

Don't you want to be in there with him

in case he wakes up?

I can't go in there.

I can't see him like that.

My whole life,

my father's always been invincible,

untouchable.

He was the strongest man I knew.

He's still strong.

He's alive.

You know, a lot of people

would never survive what he's gone through.

You think he'll wake up?

I don't know.

They're doing the best they can.

So have you guys found Aretha, or?

No.

Did you know she was playing in a band at night?

No,

but that makes sense why she was always tired.

I wish she'd told me.

I thought you two were close.

We grew up together like siblings,

but...

the last few months, she's been really distant.

I've only seen her when she was rehearsing with Dad.

He seems to give her a lot of his time.

That's because...

she reminds him of my mother.

Um...

she was a singer, too.

When it comes to me,

I think I just remind him of everything he's lost.

Tell me about Aretha's brother, Fraser?

Um...

he was older,

did his own thing.

I heard he got really messed up with drugs.

Did you know your father was helping him out?

He definitely didn't.

There's something he's not telling us.

Tess, I think we'd better look at that crime scene.

There are still evidence markers in place.

You know, it's so strange,

growing up and realizing

that you don't know as much about your parents

as you thought.

My mom kept her sight loss a secret from us.

Who knows what else she didn't tell us.

Some secrets are better left hidden.

I'm guessing you haven't picked a therapist yet?

Look, I'm not seeing anything here.

The choir room is down the hall to the left.

Let's go there.

And let's...

stay focused.

Find the wall on your left.

Follow it five paces.

Steps down.

Four...

three...

two...

Shelves to your right.

15 paces to the music room.

Oh...

that's weird.

- What? - This spot...

it feels different.

Well, Nnamdi was doing repairs.

Yeah, but all the other spots he patched were smooth.

This one's rough and flaky.

The paint feels damp.

Stick your camera in.

I'll go to night vision.

Do you see anything?

No. There's just a bunch of wires and wall studs.

Wait, wait, wait. Stop.

I saw something shiny.

Twist your camera...

10 degrees right.

Oh, my God...

What? What is it?

I think we just found

the weapon that was used in the attack.

Good job, Avery.

Forensics confirmed,

the blood on the jab saw is Stephen's.

And the debris in his wound is drywall dust.

Nnamdi was doing renovations... the tools were his.

But they didn't find any prints on the saw?

Doesn't matter...

because we just pulled this voicemail

off Stephen's phone,

left hours before the attack.

I told you to stay away from my family, Stephen.

I don't care how much money you throw around,

you cannot buy my daughter to replace your wife.

I know what you've been doing to her,

so listen to me and listen to me well...

if I catch you with Aretha again,

I'll kill you.

Maybe Nnamdi's more than just a man of God.

Thanks for coming in voluntarily, Mr. Okeke.

If you think my story will change,

you are mistaken.

I am still innocent.

? We are here in this world ?

? And we can't be messin' around ?

Oh, he's surprised.

He's definitely never seen that before.

I take it you had no idea your daughter was in a band?

I have not seen her smile this big since...

You have found her?

We're still searching.

And you still haven't given us an alibi

for the night of Stephen's attack.

He reminds me of my dad.

He would rather be drenched in the rain

than admit that he should have brought an umbrella.

You remind me of my father.

- I just said that. - He's a proud Jamaican man.

He could talk for hours about his favourite cricket team,

but I can count on one hand

the number of times that man told me he loved me.

It wasn't until my 20s

that I realized that...

he saw sentimentality as weakness.

I had to learn to break that cycle with my own kids.

Sometimes, the best way to support our children is to...

show them our vulnerabilities.

"My grace is sufficient for you,

for my strength is made perfect in weakness."

Second Corinthians 12.

Second Corinthians 12, right?

Oh, he liked that.

You're speaking his language.

Mr. Okeke, the best way for you to help your daughter

is to tell us the truth.

What's the point in being strong if it breaks your family apart?

Where were you the night Stephen was attacked?

When I first came to Canada,

it was a bigger shock than I expected.

I missed Nigeria.

I started drinking.

It helped dull the fear I felt.

And I did some things I was not always proud of.

But when Fraser was born, I stopped.

I found my faith again...

and I thought I had finally beaten

that demon.

That is why I kicked Fraser out.

I found drugs in his room...

and I was terrified

he would make the same mistakes I made.

But I didn't know how to help him.

And then Aretha went missing.

I broke.

It was only two days,

but it was two days I...

I cannot remember.

The night Stephen was attacked,

I went to my first AA meeting in 33 years.

I did not even tell Dionne.

I did not want her to think less of me.

Seeking help isn't a weakness.

I know that,

but we demand a lot of each other...

perhaps too much.

Like many, our relationship is complicated.

I thought the evidence would set me free,

but the police say

there's a recording of me threatening Stephen.

It is not true.

You just said

you can't remember the last two days.

No. You must listen to me.

I would never have done a thing like that.

I have no idea where it came from.

Say that again?

I said you must listen to me.

I never...

- What have you got? - The recording.

- It's a fake. - What are you talking about?

It was on Stephen's phone,

he received it hours before the attack.

You're saying someone planned the murder

and framed Nnamdi?

Leo, pull it up.

I told you to stay away from my family, Stephen.

- Fast forward. - I don't care how much

money you throw around, you cannot buy my...

doing to her.

So, listen to me and listen to me well...

- See? - If I catch you with Aretha again...

The way he pronounces "listen".

When we were talking to Nnamdi in there,

he emphasized the "T",

but in the recording, he doesn't.

And the recording shortens "I will" to "I'll".

Nnamdi is much more formal.

Wouldn't it take a huge amount of time

- to fake a recording like this? - Well, I mean, these days,

anybody can make a convincing deepfake

in a matter of minutes.

We're going to need more than one mispronounced word

to throw out this piece of evidence.

Still nothing from Lucas?

Do you think I would field a call from

your missing brother and not tell you?

Lucas is like a stray dog.

He'll come home when he's ready.

Okay, I'm gonna tell my brother you called him a dog.

I call him a dog to his face all the time.

Okay.

Audio file was actually created at 22:37.

Wait, but that's after

we found Stephen at the church

and after we got the voicemail.

If you know what you're doing, you can mess with that stuff...

reset the internal clock,

make it look like it was sent earlier.

Any idea who's going to all this trouble?

Someone who's trying to get away with murder.

Someone close to the family.

Someone who knows about the tension

between Stephen and Nnamdi.

So, basically, anyone at their church.

I mean, their antagonism was hardly a state secret.

Voice memo from Leo.

Hey, Tess. The scent we found at the church

was a mixture of feldspar,

linear sodium dodecyl benzene sulfonate

and oxalic acid.

Okay, so the first result

is a cleaning product called "Bar Blitz".

"Bar Blitz"?

What was the name of the bar where Aretha performed?

I think you're gonna need

a tetanus shot after this.

Okay. Waitress... 12 o'clock.

- That's it. - What is it?

I know that smell.

I remember it from the crime scene.

What can I get ya?

I'm Tess Avery.

I'm a consultant with Metro PD.

My answer's the same as it was for the last cop...

I haven't seen Aretha since she disappeared.

You know, this place smells

just like a guy I know

who was almost killed last night.

A guy that was very close to your friend, Aretha.

You can tell me where she is

or we can keep talking somewhere less comfortable.

I told you already...

I haven't seen her.

All right, less comfortable it is.

Who was hurt?

Was it Stephen?

Is he all right?

I can't hide anymore.

I'm Aretha.

She's nervous

She's playing with her water.

She won't meet your eye.

So, you've been hiding at the bar this whole time.

Jade let me crash in the back.

I've been helping out.

Earning my keep.

That explains the Bar Blitz on Stephen's jacket.

What happened between you and Stephen?

Why did you run away?

I didn't mean to cause so much trouble.

I just didn't know what else to do.

She looks scared, Tess.

Like really scared.

Whatever happened to her...

I don't think it was good.

I get it.

I doubt that.

You know,

when I was a kid,

and things would get messy...

sometimes, I would just leave,

just pretend that whole mess didn't exist.

Of course, it still did.

My brother still does that sometimes.

She's looking at you now.

Keep going, you're getting through.

This one time...

I was fighting with my mom.

I don't remember what about...

but after she fell asleep,

I snuck out the window,

and, um...

What happened?

A house fire.

My brother managed to get out. She didn't.

And I always wonder...

would she still be here if I had stuck around.

That's a heavy thing to carry around.

Aretha, I have spent the last two days

getting to know your family...

and it seems like you're all carrying way more than your fair share.

Don't you think maybe it's time to set some of that down?

Reggie's sitting

in the corner of his father's hospital room.

Oh, Tess, the bed's empty.

The doctor just left.

He told me he passed 20 minutes ago.

I'm sorry.

Maybe that's not why you're here.

We've talked to a lot of people about your father, Reggie.

And about Aretha.

You think she had something to do with this?

I mean...

I don't see it, but...

then again, it's not like

any of us knew who she really was, right?

Were you ever jealous of her and your father?

It was cool.

It gave me more time

to focus on the things I actually cared about,

like school,

instead of spending my time

trying to be the son he wanted me to be.

Right? What did you study again?

Audio engineering.

Did you offer to help Aretha and her band?

Coco And Dasheen aren't exactly...

ready for recording yet.

They're still figuring out their sound.

I thought you didn't know Aretha was in a band.

He knows he's stepped in it.

No, she... she told me.

I guess I'm so used to keeping her secrets for her.

Look, aren't you supposed to be here

to ask me about Nnamdi killing my dad?

Is that the plan?

He's getting angry. Careful, Tess.

You think I killed my father?

Just because I was jealous of Aretha?

No.

Because I told him you tried to rape me.

You tried to kiss me in my car,

and when I pushed you off, you wouldn't stop.

That's a lie. She's lying.

You said you were going to tell my parents everything,

and they'd disown me, just like my brother.

When I didn't give you what you wanted,

you tried to take it.

- That's not how it happened! - I didn't know what else to do.

I just wanted to hide.

I wanted to hide so bad,

but I didn't want you to win.

So I thought if I told Stephen, he could help me,

maybe even help you,

but you killed him before he got the chance.

Because he chose you over me!

Why?

I was his son.

Everything you touched turned to gold...

and everything I touched...

You led me on for months

while I hid your secret life from your parents.

And then the one time I return your affection,

you run to my father and you cry rape?

I didn't mean to hurt him.

He... he just wouldn't listen to me...

and then he tried calling the cops...

on his only son.

So you attacked him with whatever you could find...

the drywall saw.

You made it look like a robbery.

You ripped out the security cameras,

you took his wallet and his phone...

But when you realized we were interested in Nnamdi,

you saw an even better option.

You used AI on a school computer

to create the voicemail deepfake.

My father always looked out for you.

Why you and not me?

He's moving towards Aretha.

Okay, take a step back, Reggie.

I took from you?

What about what I lost?

What about what you took from me?

I said take a step back!

I didn't mean to hurt her, okay? I swear.

You "didn't mean to"?

What, you just lost control,

and somehow it's my fault and your father's?

I didn't mean to hurt anyone...

- Tess! - You've got to believe me.

Get down!

Security! Stay down.

All those secrets almost destroyed that family.

Yeah, but...

now that everything is out in the open,

maybe they can start to rebuild.

Yeah.

Maybe Lucas can do that with Craig?

I don't know.

I just hope he's okay.

Do you really think

that laying it all out there

is the only way to move forward?

I don't know.

I mean, I'm not exactly an open book.

You were with Aretha.

Well, that was a tactic for the case.

But what's that saying?

"The truth will set you free"?

Well, if that's the case,

then that shirt is at least three seasons old.

Okay, style guru...

then how about this?

Better.

Complements your undertones.

Undertones...

Where do you get this stuff?

What if they tell me I'm crazy?

They who?

A therapist.

Look, Sunny...

in my time on the force,

I worked with a lot of really strong people,

so believe me when I say

you are one of the most badass women I've ever known.

Maybe I could get, like, a two-for-one discount,

and we can sort out all of our issues together.

I don't have issues.

I forget how funny you are.

How does this look?

You look like you're going

to an Eastern European grunge discotheque.

Perfect.

Perfect.

To sticky floors and ringing ears tomorrow morning.

Yeah.

Hey, so where's Mia tonight?

Sorry, what? I can't... I can't hear you.

It's too loud.

- You're spilling my drink. - I'll buy you a new one.

Hey. Hey.

He's gonna be okay.

Your brother is a survivor.

Hello!

Hope you're all having a good night.

We're Coco And Dasheen.

But before we start...

I want to thank my parents

for staying up past their bedtime...

and going way outside of their comfort zone

to come out here tonight.

But just because they're here

doesn't mean we can't have some fun.

Let's kick it.

? Hey! ?

? No, no, no, no, no ?

? We are out here in this world ?

? And we can't be messing around ?

? Take that fire you got deep inside ?

? And burn this house to the ground ?

? You're gonna know my name ?

? You're gonna know my name! ?

Whoo!
