Previously on "The InBetween"...

I see ghosts. I hear them.

Cassie!

Sometimes they send me a message.

You have to stop him.

And sometimes they just show up.

My daughter has certain abilities

that can be very helpful.

She's over here! She's still alive.

- But what she sees... - [GASPS]

It's incredibly rough on her.

I saw some strange stuff last night,

and I think it might be related to your case.

Let me out! [SCREAMS]

Everybody, your attention, please.

[OVERLAPPING CHATTER]

Sergeant Ballion has agreed

let our task force address you before role call

so that we can give you as much information as possible today

before you're out on the street.

As you all know, the last three years,

three newlywed couples have been brutally murdered

in their own homes.

The man has been tortured and shot.

The woman has been drowned.

The killer always strikes on the same date: today.

This is the year that we stop him.

Our team will comb the tip lines

and get you the best leads you can follow up on.

Bulletins have been sent

to all neighborhood watch offices and HOAs.

There is no question this guy stalks his victims,

possibly for the 12 months leading up to each kill.

So don't be too quick to dismiss reports

of men and women saying they are being followed

or complaints their homes have been vandalized.

Everything must be checked out,

especially if the complainant has been married

for less than one year.

We are not gonna let this guy slip through the net again.

All right, let's hit the streets.

We're doing everything we can.

Seattle's practically on lockdown.

I just hope it's enough.

What smells so delicious?

- Waffles. - Oh, my favorite.

Go for it.

Tom went into work early, so you're gonna eat his share

as well as your own.

Not bad news, I hope.

- You mean the newlywed killer. - Yeah.

So far, all is quiet. Oh, that reminds me,

Tom got you a pepper spray keychain.

To go with the TASER he got you when you went off to college.

[LAUGHS] And the self-defense classes

in high school.

I was one badass freshman.

I made way too much food here.

You know what, think I'm gonna bring some over

to the precinct later.

I'm sure they'd appreciate that.

Let me help you.

I just wish I could be more helpful.

I'm gonna get some more coffee.

Detective, is it the newlywed killer?

Did he strike again?

Detective, do you have any leads?

- What have we got? - Jim and Shelly Edwards.

Married seven months.

Looks like the killer gained access

when Shelly was alone Saturday afternoon.

No forced entry.

So she let him in just like the other victims.

Husband arrived around 8:00 p.m.

We think he was struck on the head

as he entered the house.

Restrained, tortured all night, and then shot.

Shelly was drowned in their bathtub.

No sexual assault, no robbery.

Wallets were left full of cash.

Exactly the same as the last three years.

Well, not quite.

This way.

[SIGHS]

[CAMERA SHUTTER SNAPS]

Looks like he got his hands free.

Probably while the killer was filling the bath.

Edwards managed to dial 911, but he was shot

before he could tell them their address.

Still gave them a chance to GPS the phone.

Uniforms were here in ten minutes.

A pink flower petal.

In our previous murders,

the killer has had time to clean up.

This time, he's in a bit of a rush.

Any other flowers around the house?

No. Looks like a carnation.

Shelly Edward's sister is here.

She's in the living room.

We found these, uh, flower petals in their room.

Do you think she'd let in a flower delivery man?

I wanna say no,

but Jim would sometimes send her a bouquet

for no reason.

They were happy? No problems?

Not that I know of.

But a few days ago Shelly and I went for coffee,

and she was very anxious, looking around a lot, jumpy.

I asked her what was wrong and she told me

she thought someone was following her.

Now, thinking back on it, there was more to it.

Something she didn't want to tell me.

Like she knew the guy?

Maybe.

I remember thinking she doesn't just look scared,

she looks...

guilty.

It's in pretty good shape if you wanna take a look.

Yeah.

Maybe a week later you, me, some of the other girls

I mean, the other girls were pissed.

They thought you were just trying to scare them, but...

You were the only one who believed me.

I was your best friend.

Yeah.

Thanks. Ballistics are in.

Our victim, Jim Edwards, was shot with the same weapon

as the previous three husbands:

a 22 caliber.

Well, our killer's consistent, I'll give him that.

Always seemed odd to use such a small gun.

I mean, why not a 38, a 44?

Well, a 22 makes less racket,

still gets the job done close range.

[DOOR OPENS]

Where are we?

Forensics is still processing the apartment.

We found a carnation petal at the scene.

Uniforms are canvassing the local flower shops.

I've gotta update the mayor's office in 20.

Any new insights?

I've been reviewing the files,

putting together a profile of the killer.

He's all about power and control.

Rituals are clearly important.

He's detail-oriented... meticulous, even.

But here's what's tripping me up:

usually, when a couple is murdered,

one gender is obviously the real target.

David Berkowitz, for example, shot couples parked in cars,

but his motivation was anger towards women

for rejecting him.

With this guy, I... I'm not so sure.

He spends hours with the women

before the husband comes home.

Now, if she is the primary target,

he could just kill her and leave,

never even deal with the man.

Only the husbands are tortured.

The real point is having them together

so they can see what the other is going through.

Maybe he was engaged, married.

- Ended badly. - Wife might have left him

- for another guy. - So the female victim's

a surrogate for the bride he lost

and the husband represents the man who stole her away.

I went through the victim's calendars, and get this,

Shelly Edwards has the same notation

every Thursday at 6:00 p.m.

Which is... "NWSG."

That's it? Just an acronym?

No address, no notes.

Did you ask the sister about this?

No one close to her seems to know what it is.

And the first entry is six months ago.

That's right after the Edwards were married.

Do you remember NWSG with any previous murder?

- No, it's new to me. - But anything that might

have to do with their wedding is worth looking into.

I agree. Let me know what you find.

I'll be right back.

How did you know Shelly?

We used to date in college, but it wasn't anything serious.

Then why do we have you on security tape harassing her

the week before she was murdered?

I wasn't harassing her.

I ran into Shelly about four months ago.

We went for a drink and she started telling me

that she wasn't happy.

Marriage was more complicated than she thought,

blah, blah, blah.

I've been married before, so I gave her some advice.

- You said you had a drink. - Yeah.

- Where? - The bar at Columbia Hotel.

At what point in the evening did you decide

to take your conversation upstairs to one of the rooms?

We didn't.

That particular night we had sex in my car.

♪

How long were you seeing each other?

Couple of months.

We'd get together once a week or so.

She had a standing Thursday night appointment.

- Was that you? - No, Thursdays I play poker.

- We need to check your alibi. - You can have at it.

Digsy's Poker Palace in Georgetown.

- I'm a regular. - You do a lot of gambling

for a guy on parole, Clay.

Look, Shelly and I had a thing.

She ended it, I tried to change her mind.

- That is it. - Why'd she end it?

She had this crazy reason.

Someone left a bunch of flowers at her work

and she thought it was me being cute.

- She was pissed. - I don't blame her.

Yeah, but that's the thing... it wasn't me.

Did she say what kind of flowers they were?

Pink carnations.

[TENSE MUSIC]

I remember that bouquet, sure.

It was about two weeks ago.

I was pulling into the parking lot

and I saw a guy just leaving them by the back door.

Was there a card?

No, nothing, so I brought them in

and told Shelly about it when she got in.

But she wasn't happy.

Did she seem frightened?

More annoyed than anything.

I said maybe they were from her husband,

and she said Jim knew better.

He'd send roses, not carnations.

She went around asking all the instructors

if they were expecting flowers, and everyone said no,

so she tossed them in the trash

and that's the last I heard of it.

Hmm. Could you describe the guy?

He was pretty far away but, um, white,

tall, average build.

Was he driving a car?

I'm not sure, but after he dropped the flowers

I heard a motorcycle start up around the corner.

prior to the murders.

Debra Carpenter's mother said she thinks maybe carnations

were dropped off to Debra's office

about a month before the murders.

But, I mean, without card

they just assumed it was a mistake.

Everyone else says they didn't know anything

about any flowers, or they've forgotten.

That's a lead I'd have followed up on

like a bloodhound... nobody ever mentioned that.

Well, no one realized it was important.

I mean, Shelly Edwards only mentioned it

because she thought the flowers were delivered by Clay Rollins.

And with no card, it's possible the other two victims

didn't get flowers. For the killer,

it's just about the ritual of leaving them.

It's all about the game.

- Why pink carnations? - I did a little research.

Apparently, they are symbolic of a woman's love.

Maybe, but women don't like 'em. I mean...

Well, they mean something to the killer.

He delivered flowers to Shelly Edwards at work,

and Jim Edwards had a carnation petal in his hand.

He's bringing flowers to the murder scene

and taking them with him when he goes.

Okay, listen, I suggest

we release this information to the press.

Craig Hesler... he died of a brain aneurysm

it's for modern women who are having trouble adjusting

of building a life with a new partner.

Uh, mutual decision-making, shared spaces,

compromises, sacrifices...

Marriage.

Clay said Shelly wasn't happy.

Marriage was more complicated than she thought it'd be.

Are any of our other female victims members?

Both Lucy Aquila and Debra Carpenter

were in couples' therapy with their husbands.

I followed up the lead at the time, it went nowhere.

Could it be that those wives were in that group?

But the only way to be sure is to get a complete list

of former and current members.

But the center won't release that information

without a warrant, and a judge won't issue a warrant

without a direct and immediate threat.

Let me tell you from experience, lots of people

don't even sign in to those meetings at all

Drop your weapon or I'll kill her.

Do it or she's dead!

[TENSE MUSIC]

That's quite a scam you had there, Lyla.

Start a club for unhappy newlywed brides,

pick them off one by one.

They were like lambs to the slaughter, weren't they?

[LAUGHING]

[WHIMPERING]

I didn't think anyone would even sign up.

Who doesn't want to be married?

But I had more than I could handle.

This one?

She didn't want to be married either.

She joked about it with me while we were sampling cakes

for my wedding.

Eight months later,

I hear Ashley had to talk her into eloping.

Had to get down on both knees and beg.

Why do men want women who don't want them?

I don't know.

I would ask them that, the women...

while the tub was filling and their men were dying...

and they didn't know either.

They were so sorry.

"Do you love him now?" I would ask.

"Do you wish you had another chance

to show him just how much he means to you?"

You know what they said?

All of them?

"I do."

Lyla, no!

- [GUNSHOT] - Ah!

- [MOANING] - Don't move.

[PARKING BRAKE CRANKS]

Thanks for coming with me.

My pleasure.

I think she's gone.

It worked.

I couldn't have done it without you.

Well, I'm not so sure about that.

This is gonna sound so selfish, but...

I need you to be okay.

I can't have anything happen to you.

Where is this coming from?

Lately, you've been forgetting things,

and when you say you remember I think you're lying.

I'm scared...

and I need you to get checked out.

You know, doctors make the worst patients.

Please?

[BITTERSWEET MUSIC]

Okay.

- I will. - Okay.

I promise.

[SIGHS]

That was County Medical on the phone.

It was touch and go, but Ashley Bennett's gonna live.

So that's eight counts of first-degree murder

for Lyla instead of nine.

Still enough for life in prison.

Well, Lyla's parents have hired an attorney

and he's already making noise about an insanity defense.

Mm, I predict she'll go down swinging.

At least she's going down.

[MELLOW MUSIC]

[UPBEAT ROCK MUSIC PLAYING OVER SPEAKERS]

Melinda, I was gonna call you in the morning.

That's okay, I already know.

- Yeah? - [SNIFFLING]

She's free.

I can feel it.

Thank you so much.

[BOTH LAUGH]

And I meant what I said about catching up.

I miss you.

I could really use a friend right now.

Me, too.

- I'll call you. - Yeah.

- [BOTH LAUGH] - BOTH: Bye.

Still got an empty glass.

- Top it off. - Yep.

Hey, another one?

[SIGHS] Yeah, sure.

You seem a little down

for a guy who just caught a serial killer.

No, I'm... no, it's just...

I bought into some easy assumptions

thinking it had to be a guy.

Could have cost the investigation months of time.

Another couple could have lost their lives.

Yeah, but they didn't.

I'm starting to think

that you and I aren't that different

in terms of what we do.

Hey, can I get another?

The information comes in, and we decipher it.

We interpret it.

We see if it fits this puzzle that we're putting together.

We do the best we can.

Here.

Thank you.

Jenna?

I just wanted to say thank you.

And I want to see one last sunrise before I go.

♪

You're all right.

I'm glad I could help.

Do me a favor and don't tell Melinda you saw me.

Are you sure?

It's better this way.

Melinda told me about you.

Her best friend from high school.

She said you could see ghosts and scary things

that weren't there.

And I remember thinking...

- "That must suck." - [LAUGHS]

Sometimes.

But not today.
