Um, yeah.

I... I don't know, I'm like...

I'm like a half mile
from the parking lot?

Yeah. Where did you-

I gotta go.

9-1-1. What's your emergency?

Yeah, um.

Hello.

I... I think I just found a...
a body.

Off of the... the Bristol
Springs trailhead.

We're down to skeleton
and bone.

I'd say she's been here
at least 18 months,

give or take.

She?

Check the inscription.

The body was in rapid decomp due
to where and how it was buried -

moisture in the soil, animals.

Get your full team out here.

I'll call the DA.

'Kay.

Tara.

Unbelievable.

They tried the husband
without a body.

That prosecutor must be
kicking himself.

Oh, yeah.

He took that trial
real personally.

Oh. You covered it, right?

Mike Thurman was acquitted.

Yeah.

Well, the DA should reopen
the case now.

Yeah, but I mean,
you saw the quote.

I don't think they found
anything new.

Yeah, they think they had
the right guy.

Where is everybody?

Oh, uh, class has started
at Sperling College today,

so I told Kendall that
we won't need our intern

for the first few weeks
until she gets settled in.

If... that's okay.

Of course.

Drew, you don't have to ask
me about stuff like that.

It's just that, you know,
we're getting used to

this new command structure,

but I promise I will get
the hang of it, boss.

I hope so, bossy.

And, uh, you know,
Eileen, of course,

is on her tour of Art
Entertainment to Pittsburgh,

with a stop in wine country.

Heh. I want her job.

Yeah, I dunno if you'd get the
juicy gossip that Eileen gets.

"Local commentary."

You're right though, she is a
force to be reckoned with.

And since we won't have
a column this week,

I'm gonna need you
to step it up.

Get me some juicy journalism.

You know, I actually have
a hot lead.

Trucking company in Wallace
Falls plans to open river routes

to Pittsburgh for the first time
in decades.

Wow. That is hot.

How could it be hotter?

It's new business
for the community.

'Kay. Enjoy that.

Chuck.

Hmm.

Tell me somethin' good.

Uh, well, Eileen texted and said
the Chardonnay harvest

is great this year.

I can't wait to read her column.

How about some news
closer to home?

Well, I can get the feeder rod
up to speed

about half of the time.

But I think I figured it out.

It looks like one of the pistons
is just worn.

Uh, I found a picture of what

it's supposed to look
like right here.

You know, so even
if we can't find one,

I can make something in
my shop at home that will,

uh, you know, probably work.

What about the print run
this week?

Oh yeah. I'll be ready for that.

You know what?

We should just have
a plan B ready,

just in case, right?

It's okay. Chuck.

It's old equipment.

We know.

Yeah, maybe just in case.

But by next week
it'll be up and running.

Promise.

Ah, Ms. McPherson.

If you can give me
a few minutes, I'm...

Mike... Thurman.

At least you didn't say
"the infamous."

What can I do for you?

I want my wife's case
to be your next podcast.

We, uh, we met in Philadelphia.

She was a prosecutor, and I was
still a Federal Marshall.

We worked a few cases together
and we just sorta clicked.

This is our first date.

Tara knew more about
baseball than I did.

She had a twin brother
who played.

This is our wedding, right
before she started singing.

She was a singer?

No, she was kinda terrible,
actually.

But that didn't stop her.

She loved to sing.

None of us had the heart
to tell her.

We were both workaholics,
but...

after the wedding, we went
travelling for...

for a month.

I think it was her first trip
since college.

It was perfect.

I loved her,
Ms. McPherson.

I-- I would never kill her.

No, uh, please. Keep them.

Um. I want you to remember
that when...

when you read all this,

Tara and I had some troubles.

She could get jealous
for no reason.

I... I hadn't cheated on her,
but she wouldn't believe it.

Uh, there's... there's more,
if you say yes.

But this is the police file, and
most of the trial transcripts.

You can have access to anything,
ask me any question.

I want to clear my name.

Well, Mr. Thurman,
you've been acquitted.

Yeah.

In the courts.

But out there, everyone,
all of our friends,

have just cut me off.

You know, people stare,
but they won't come close.

I saw what you did
with your last podcast.

And now that they've
found Tara...

her...

her body...

maybe you can find
the real killer.

I would never promise that.

Look.

What if you just went
somewhere else?

You know? Started fresh.

Yeah, I um...

I moved my mom here
a few years ago.

She's pretty sick and
can't get around much.

I'm her only family, and...
it matters.

It does.

You know, you didn't have
to come all the way down here,

uncle Miles.

I could have called.

Nice to see you too.

Can't very well spy on my new
managing editor from home,

can I?

So, what's up?

It's the printing press.

I ran a cost-analysis

of the maintenance vs.
outsourcing the run each week,

and you'd save a lot of money

if we stopped printing
it ourselves.

I'd lose a lot, too.

I know.

That's why I also emailed you
the rest of the annual budget.

If everyone stays
within those guidelines,

you should be back in black
before the end of the year.

Uh, why does it sound like
your car is packed

and you're backing towards
the door?

I'm not.

But we did agree that
this is just temporary.

No, we didn't.

And didn't I see Mike Thurman
leaving your studio?

Uh, yes.

Yeah, he was here.

He wants Tara's murder
to be the next podcast.

Sounds great. Go to it.

Just like that?

You told him yes, didn't you?

No, I told him I'd have
to look into it.

It's been a month since
the last season of Recovered.

You must be itching
to get back at it.

Go on.

Hearst and I have got it
covered. Don't we, boy?

You keep your eye on him.

Ha, ha, don't listen to her.

Yeah, it's gonna be huge.

Okay.

Excuse me, I'm looking
for a Paul Adams?

Yeah?

Hi. Uh, Drew Godfrey,
Herrington Chronicle.

I gotta go.

What can I do for ya?

I was actually hoping it could
be the other way around.

I wanted to do a profile piece
on Wallace Falls Shipping.

Oh yeah?

Yeah.

You guys are expanding
the river routes.

Yeah.

It's a pretty big deal
for the area.

Ports haven't been active
in a long time.

Just wondered what made you
decide to do it?

It's about a tenth of the cost
of truckin'.

We figure we can expand,

get the crops on the farms
to the Tri-County.

I'm sorry, I'm in the middle
of something right now.

Maybe you could call.

Make an appointment.

Thank you.

You and Tara are twins, right?

I've always wondered
what that's like.

Um, well, we looked out
for each other.

Excuse me.

Tim has thought about Tara

every hour of every day
since she went missing.

He worked as much as he could.

He's an EMT?

Yeah.

It helped him to help
someone else.

And after work, he'd search.

He'd make calls.

He'd make trips to places
he thought she might be.

Must have been tough
for the family.

For you.

I don't know what will give
Tim any peace.

If we can find out what
really happened to Tara...

Tim is already sure.

Why did you pick this case?

Mike Thurman killed my sister.

He should be rotting in prison.

I will bring you the evidence.

Don't try to redeem this man.

Wow, I love what you've done
to the place.

Does this mean you're sticking
around?

This equipment is portable.

I can pack it up and take it
with me anywhere.

Hmm. Except that.

Miles told me.

You taking it on?

The people who love Tara
are hurting, and...

they can't even grieve together.

They need answers.

Here's what we know.

Last week, a body was recovered
from the national forest.

It was identified as a young
woman named Tara Thurman,

a young lawyer who went missing
from Wallace Falls, Pennsylvani

three years ago.

A year after she disappeared,

her car was found abandoned
in a junkyard in Pittsburgh.

The blood inside the car
matched Tara's.

Her husband, Mike Thurman,
was charged with her murder.

At trial, the defence admitted

that they had had
marital trouble,

but they insisted that
he didn't have an affair,

and that he didn't kill
his wife.

They offered a strong
alternative suspect,

a man who was convicted
of several armed car-jackings

in the county.

With no body and very
little circumstantial evidence,

the jury voted to acquit.

And now, despite Tara's body
being discovered,

the district attorney's office
issued this statement.

We already put Tara's killer
on trial.

The jury didn't agree,

but that doesn't change
our suspect.

We had the killer.

Did they?

Or did they have the wrong man?

That is the question
we hope to answer

on this season of Recovered.

Mornin'.

Good pickins?

Sometimes.

You can usually tell by
the size of the pile.

Hmm.

Name's Drew.

Glen.

Nice to meet you, Glen.

Yeah, I heard people have been
dumping around here for years.

Oh, yeah.

Most of the stuff goes in
the river around here,

gets sucked down by
that eddy out there.

So, you think this Wallace Falls
Shipping is going to have

to dredge the river if they want
to open the port?

Oh, if they have any sense,
they will.

Is that an open question?

I piloted barges on this river
for 45 years,

and I'll bet you everything
in this boat

that not one of that
crew I've seen

knows their bow
from their stern.

Hmm.

They are not river men.

Thanks, Glen.

It is a real luxury for me to
have my own legal expert here.

Are you kidding?
This is fun for me.

Podcasts are my guilty pleasure.

Well, thank you.

And I have to thank Steve
and the kids, too.

You could cook for us
some night.

That'd be fun.

Oh, yeah.
Done deal.

Okay, where do you
want me to start?

Right. Okay, so, I pulled out
the trial transcript,

well, the first part of it-

Mm-hmm.

for you to look at.

And there's a lot of people
who really are sure

that Mike did it.

Yeah.

You too?

I mean, there was
that other guy, right?

Uh, this one.
The carjacker.

I guess it's possible.

Oh. Is this the other woman?

Yeah.

You did follow this case.

Yeah, that's Betsy Gray.

They said that Mike had
an affair with her.

Allegedly.

They had no evidence.

Right, well, he definitely says
he didn't do it.

Hmm.

Okay...

This is such a lawyer quote.

You know, that was
Tara's cell phone.

They never found it.

It... it wasn't with her purse,
her ID,

it wasn't in the gym bag.

Do you think that it could
have been with the body?

It'd still be intact.

Should be.

Huh.

Thank you for giving me

a few minutes of your time,
Sheriff.

Well, what brings you by,
Ms. McPherson?

Tara Thurman.

Well, the DA's office issued
a statement.

I know they did.

But there must have been
some evidence found

with her body that...
that could help.

Help who?

Her family?

And those of us who still
have questions

about what happened to Tara?

Did you find something,
Sheriff?

What about her cell phone?

It's still an open case, so...

I really can't say.

Excuse me.

Sheriff, we have preliminary
ballistics on Thurman.

Yeah, thank you.

I... I'm on my way.

Fireman Shawn.

Hey...

I'm...

I'm actually getting a name
badge made up.

Well, it's an honoured title.

Yeah.

You know, you're always coming
to the rescue.

Um, what are you doing
in Wallace Falls?

Uh, we're out of the West Ridge
fire with their department.

Our towns are so close,
we work together a lot.

Does that mean you know
Tim Reynolds?

He's an EMT here.

Yeah.

Yeah, I actually helped
train him.

I don't see him much now
outside of work, not since...

Did you know his sister?

Sorry.

Is that pushy?

I... I'm doing a podcast about
Tara Thurman's murder,

and if you have insight on him
or the family,

I'd love to talk to you
about it.

You know, I, uh... I work today,
but I could call you later.

Great.

You know I'm gonna need
your number to do that.

Of course.

Yeah.

Just...

There it is.

Yeah, has my cell on it.

Uh, anytime.

Great.

Okay.

See you later.

Yeah. Cool.

Oh, are you going?...

No, I... yeah.

Yeah.

Okay.

Ballistics bombshell.

All the way here,
I'm wondering...

Oh, you're not supposed to be
reading texts behind the wheel.

Well, you shouldn't be
alliterating about bullets.

Now, this is where Tara's body
was found.

Is that why you wanted
to meet here?

Eh, thought we should
check it out.

And you're pretty good
at crime scenes.

Um, I'm sorry,
can you repeat that?

I didn't quite hear you.

Why don't you tell me
about your barges?

Oh, there is definitely
something off with this company.

I started poking around down
at the Chamber of Commerce,

they said the company's
only a few years old,

no complaints,

but nobody seems to know
anything about them.

And the owner, I don't know,
he just seemed...

Skittish.

I mean, he should have been
glad handing me

wanting to promote his business,

but instead I just got the sense
that he wanted me out of there.

Glen by the river thinks
these guys have no idea

what they're doing.

"Glen by the river?"

Glen by the river, that's right.

He actually, he used to run
a barge there, so.

He's a very reliable source.

I'll get the story.

Sounds fascinating.

I'm sorry, what was it
that you wanted, exactly?

News?

Oh, news.

Is that what I was
supposed to do?

Okay. I'm gonna write that down.

You know, for future reference.

So, she said ballistics
and Thurman

before the sheriff could take
her off speaker.

They were clearly talking
about Tara.

Well, if they ran ballistics,

that must mean that
they have a shell

or a casing or a bullet
to match the gun to.

I mean, there was blood found
in the drivers' seat of her car.

So maybe she was shot
in the car,

but then how did her body
end up way out here?

You need the current case file.

Good idea.

You don't by chance have
a close friendship

with Sheriff Monty, do you?

I don't, but Miles does.

Really?

Mm-hmm.

This is the spot.

Mm-hmm.

All right.

Play it out.

I don't know.

Nothing in the court documents

or the original police
investigation led them here.

They don't even know
when Tara died.

She was last seen in March, when
she took a leave from her job.

And then she started sending
these threatening texts to Mike

and the other woman.

And the texts slowed down,
they stopped in the fall,

but the Pittsburgh PD didn't
even find her car until January.

So, she was killed somewhere,
sometime,

between maybe March
and January.

Maybe by a gun.

Yeah.

The prosecution said
that it doesn't matter

when Mike killed Tara.

The point is he had her phone,

and he was sending threatening
texts to himself.

Don't make sense.

So, the cell phone pings
came back to two towers

that cover basically
half of Wallace Falls,

and that includes Mike's office
and his home.

Okay, remind me again
why not the girlfriend.

Right.

So, she was in Ohio when a lot
of the threats happened.

The police ruled her out.

She was filing complaints,
you know?

She was scared.

You need to find that phone.

Hey, were you in court
during the motive evidence?

Yeah, it was pretty convincing,
I mean.

Mike blew through Tara's money
once she disappeared,

which is why they said
he sent the texts.

Right. She had to
be alive enough,

because they had
a joint account.

Right. But not so alive
that she'd divorce him.

It was actually pretty smart.

Jury didn't buy it.

Actually, there was
one big reason, though,

why he was acquitted.

Clay Burrell has been convicted
of two armed car-jackings,

and he's serving time in Putnam
Prison right now.

Lucky coincidence?

Or he really did kill Tara.

Just gotta find a way
to make him confess.

Maybe I should go down there,
you know?

Interview him myself.

If I can get in.

You think you're just gonna
walk in there

and he's gonna confess to you?

It's worth a shot.

You know what you should do

is listen to the police
interrogations.

It'll give you somewhere
to start with first.

What?

It's a good idea.

You know, if you take
a deep breath,

I hear it hurts less.

Like a...

It's not working yet.

Betsy Gray?

Oh, you're Alex McPherson.

I am.

Hi.

Nice to meet you.

Thank you for meeting me.

Yeah, I really hoped I wouldn't
have to talk about this again.

Finally feel like I've gotten
a fresh start.

Oh.

I'm engaged.

Oh, congratulations.

I'm sorry if this is, um,
stressful for you.

Do you mind my asking
why you said yes?

I ducked the journalists
during the trial.

I think that was a mistake.

I became the home-wrecker.

But Mike said you two didn't
have an affair.

We didn't.

That's what was so frustrating.

How did you meet?

I was an assistant at the
security firm where he worked.

And he was married, but
Tara took some work out of town

so she was gone for months.

He needed a friend.

He had moved back here for Tara
and then she was gone.

And when she did come back?

Nothing had happened between
us, but she wouldn't believe it.

No matter what either
of us said.

All she had to do was give Mike
a chance.

He really loved her.

He would have done anything
for her.

But instead, she moved out
of the house,

and threatened him
with a divorce.

She threatened you.

Right?

Texts, and following you,
and there was a break-in,

some furniture slashed.

No wonder you were scared.

I didn't feel safe anywhere.

Do you think that Mike
killed Tara?

No.

I don't think he ever could.

Hey, Fire...

Shawn.

Hey.

Hi.

Early dinner break?

Uh, yeah. Or late lunch.

I'm doing a 12-hour shift,

so I'm not really sure
what to call it.

Right, right. So, you're
still on duty?

On call, yeah.

Hey, do... do you have to uh,

take the food and rush right
back to the station?

Uh... no?

No, not at all.

Okay, so.

Tara and Tim.

Yeah.

So, uh, they really had
that twin thing going on.

Very close.

When I first met Tim, Tara
was still living in Philly.

But Tim was always
at her to move back.

It worked.

Yeah. Yeah.

Uh, truth is, I think Tara
was homesick

and I guess Mike got that.

So, they packed up,
they came back,

Tara started work
for a law firm, making bank.

And Mike got a job
at a security company.

But?

After some time, Tara took on
a project in Pittsburgh.

Went away for a while.

For work.

Yeah, to open a legal clinic.

Do you think that Mike was the
kind of guy to have an affair?

Uh, sorry.

We're covering
the county tonight.

No, of course.

Do you have to go?

Yeah. Shots fired at
Mike Thurman's house.

For what it's worth, I think
Mike would want me here.

Do you need any medical help?

We have another paramedic now

if you'd be more comfortable
talking to Shawn.

No, I'm okay.

It's just... just bruised.

Did you get a good look
at this person?

No, they hit me from behind,
I went down the stairs,

and then they took off.

Okay, well if you find any
things missing, Mr. Thurman,

make a list and we'll file
a report, okay?

Yeah.

What is Tim doing here?

I don't know.

He said he was on his way home
and heard the call

on his scanner.

Okay.

Do you have any idea
what the intruder wanted?

No, but I... I think it was
something in the spare room.

Do you mind if I check it out?

Yeah, yeah. Of course.

Hey, Shawn, it'll just
take me a minute.

Yeah, I'm right here.

Thank you.

Mm-hmm.

Uh, what do you store
up here?

It's all Tara's old stuff.

Yeah, things that we brought
from Philly and never unpacked.

She kept every birthday
card, all her old work files.

Everything.

Help yourself.

Thanks.

So where do you think Tara went
after she and Mike split up?

Uh, she was here.

In Harrington.

Until Mike killed her.

March 3rd.

That's a very specific date.

It was March 3rd.

Maybe a day or two later.

How can you be so sure?

These text messages
between Tara and me,

March 3rd, three years ago.

I wrote "Hey, T.
Where are you?

"Hello, can you please respond
or ring me back?

"Come home, T."

And she answered "Soon.

Gotta go see an old
Philly friend who's laid up.

"Next week I'll call."

That was the last time I heard
from my sister.

So, she had a friend in
Philadelphia who was sick?

Not that I could find.

I mean, I spent weeks looking.

There was nothing.

She was already dead.

Okay.

If that's true, how do you
explain all these other texts

that people received?

Oh, you mean that crazy stuff?

That's not her.

Tara had a temper, but
she was never a stalker.

That text...

that is the last time
Tara was alive.

I would stake my life on it.

Great, thank you.

The weirdest little current
right off the dock, yeah.

Hey. Have a second?

What's up?

I need a rap sheet.

Uh, access to the whole...

thing.

Do you know how to make
that happen?

Well, I don't know if I can get
the whole sheet,

but I can definitely get
convictions and sentences.

What's the name?

Clayton Burrell.

B-u-r-r-e-l-l.

There you go.

Look at that.

He was in Gresham County
lock-up for vagrancy.

From February 20th
to June 15th.

What does that do?

Tim Reynolds is right and this
was Tara's last text,

then she was killed around
March 3rd.

When Clay Burrell was
in jail.

He couldn't be the killer.

Right.

But, if she was still alive
after June 15th,

he is still a suspect.

Which would mean that Tara
texted the threats and stalked

Mike and Betsy
between March and June.

But was she capable of that?

That's the question.

You're into it.

Admit it.

Actually, no.

I'm gonna go learn
about river channels

and what it takes
to get them dredged.

Yeah, I'm yawning already.

Gonna be page one,
I tell ya.

Page 1?

Yeah, front and centre.

Hmm. Doubt it.

There's still life in her.

I could build a piston for
the feeders and the distributor

might come up with something
refurbished,

but it won't be here
I don't know,

till next week?

And it'll cost ya.

Yup.

I mean, honestly Mr. L?

There's bound to be a place

that could do a run your size
for cheaper.

You miss being upstairs?

They need you on the farm?

No, I... I love my job.

And there's plenty of help
from the family with the farm.

I love this.

And I know you might
not keep me around

if we didn't have this press.

Well... I need this press.

The clanking, the sight
of the web spinning.

It's not all about the money.

I want you both to stay.

Okay then.

Bingo.

What'd you find?

Clayton Burrell's interrogation.

Come on, you know you want to.

Well, I guess if you need
the help.

Sure. We'll go with that.

Tell me about her.

I'd say she's a solid eight.

Maybe eight and a half.

You're not helping yourself,
Clay.

That's Tara, remember?

She drove a 2012 BMW.

Okay?

That's all?

Well, what do you want?

We have you dead to rights

on the Bolton and Kirk
Car-jacking.

You want a break at sentencing,
clear your conscience?

You got a priest here for me
and my conscience?

How about my lawyer?

Yeah.

I want my lawyer.

Thanks, Charlene.

Where's your patron saint
when I need him?

What do you think?

He's a religious car-jacker.

I have to go talk to him.

Woah, woah,
word of advice...

I don't need any.

I would get something
to use against him,

otherwise he'll stonewall you.

Right.

See? Gets easier every time.

We're closed.

Shipping office opens
at 8:00 tomorrow.

Oh, okay.

Well...

Tell Frankie I say hi.

He knows you're here.

Keep an eye on him.

I don't need trouble.

I don't like that guy.

My name is Alex McPherson,

I'm doing a podcast
about Tara Thurman.

I understand you were
her assistant, Laurie,

so I would really like
to speak to you.

Feel free to call me,
text me at this number, any...

any time you have.

Oh.

Thank you.

All right, thanks. Bye.

Look at this.

The defence tried to introduce
something at trial

from Tara's past to prove that
she could have been capable

of lashing out at Mike
and Betsy.

What?

It's not in there.

The judge wouldn't allow it,
so he sealed the record.

Why would he do that?

If it's not in evidence,
the prosecution can ask,

and he agreed.

But...

Mike would know what it was.

I don't feel comfortable asking
Mike about the investigation.

I want to stay as objective
about him as possible.

Mm.

That's smart.

And I think I know a few people
I can ask.

Really?

Mm.

Hey, guess who just moved
into the neighbourhood.

The Philly Mob.

Well, of course
they must have found

a ton of forensic evidence
at the grave site.

I mean, Frank Cipriani
wasn't that high up

with the mob food chain.

The sheriff just doesn't
want to announce it.

He was just an enforcer,
but...

You know what?

The body was found close
to Harrington,

so maybe your medical examiner
could help.

Frankie should be in prison
right now.

You know he was convicted
of extortion?

Hello? We have a murder
over here.

Hello back?

The mob has set up shop
next door.

And this is why we have
a division of labour.

The mob?

Yeah. I interviewed this guy
years ago.

One of my first stories.

Very dangerous guy,
Frankie Twotone.

Who should be in prison.

Right.

I'm gonna go to Philly,
find out why he's here.

Betsy.

Sorry to find you here,
I just, um,

well, I have a few more
questions.

Do you want to meet up later?

No, just ask. Let's go.

Okay, um, so I wanted to ask

about when Tara was stalking
you, and Mike.

Did you see her?

What do you mean?

Did you physically see Tara
when she was following you,

or at your house when
your windows were broken

and your furniture was slashed?

I was out of town
when that happened.

Right.

Okay.

Listen, um, all I want
to know is,

did you see Tara?

Like, actually see her yourself
or talk to her?

I didn't talk to her at all
after she and Mike split.

Here we go.

Hey, Chuck.

The new case file
for Tara Thurman?

From the gravesite?

Mm-hmm.

Now you have no idea
how that got here,

or whose sister-in-law knew
the file clerk.

I was never here, and you could
not pick me out of a lineup.

Well, thank you.

You're the best.

We really appreciate it Chuck,
thank you so much.

Now, does it have forensics?

Does it have ballistics?

Did they find Tara's phone?

I wonder if they found
Tara's phone.

Look at this.

They found a 40-caliber bullet
with the body.

That's the same kind of gun
that Clay Burrell used.

And the same kind that Mike had.

So, they have two different guns

that they could compare
this bullet to, right?

If they decide to spend
the money.

Can I help?

We need to go through
Tara's storage boxes.

They're mostly old files from
her job at the DA's office.

Now, why would
she hold on to that?

Hey, look at this.

They found scraps of fabric
with the body.

If evidence was about to be
destroyed in a cold case,

and you thought there was any
chance that case could heat up,

you might keep it yourself.

Mike says Tara
kept everything.

Hmm.

So, dig in.

Okay. What am I looking for?

Anything that might explain
where Tara went,

why she left the way she did.

Maybe she was being threatened?

'Kay.

See what you can find.

Any chance you're home
for good?

Ah, I like Herrington.

You know, Kendall's a freshman
at Sperling,

and my teaching helps pay
the tuition.

Can't believe she's
in college already.

Me neither.

So.

This just a visit?

I'm actually working a story.

Frank Cipriani?

I still can't believe with
everything we had on him...

The Caputo murder.

Caputo goes off the roof
of the building

with Frankie's St. Francis medal
clutched in his hand.

Ripped right
from Frankie's neck.

Silver and gold two-tone
of course.

And we still can't charge him.

Nobody saw him.

Caputo could've taken
it anytime,

who knew for sure
it was Frank's, yadda yadda.

Of course, everyone on the
street knows that it's him.

My best deputy spent six months
of her life

scraping up cases on him.

The most we could charge
was extortion.

Sorry, her?

I thought that that was
Bill Pruitt who took that case.

He did the grand jury.

Tara Thurman took Frankie
to trial.

Tara Thurman?

Thank you.

- Hey.
- Hey.

You want a beer?

Uh, yeah. Sure.

Wow.

Yeah.

Here.

Thanks.

- Cheers.
- Cheers.

Is, uh, Janelle home?

I wouldn't mind saying hello.

No, she took the kids
to her mom's.

I needed more room, so
I brought this out here.

Yeah, I...

Sounds pretty hard
on the kids, huh?

Yeah.

Yeah, this whole year's been
tough on 'em.

You know, I mean,
I barely seen 'em.

It's not fair.

I need to end this.
For all of us.

I am gonna nail him,
Shawn.

Look at that.

It looks like his insurance
paid off, huh?

So, he... bought a new TV?

That's a full home theatre,
okay?

That's... that's $15,000.

He may not go down
for Tara's murder,

but that man is a lowlife.

There will be something.

Okay, look. She's an artist.

Obviously she loved to draw
on anything

she could get her hands on.
Right?

You should see
the files in her car.

I have to go.

I just, well, we should wrap
things up.

Should... should we?

Yeah, you know.
Pace ourselves.

There's a lot left.

Hmm.

Please tell me it's Sean.

So the Wellington is home?

I just don't know how long
I'll be staying in Harrington.

Ah, that's a shame.

It looks good on you, heh.

I just don't want to make
promises I can't keep.

To my uncle.

Right.

Yeah.

So, uh, the reason I called.

I checked in with Tim Reynolds.

And?

And he is definitely obsessed
with your case.

And with Mike.

Right.

Do you think he's the one
who broke into Mike's?

I don't know.

He wasn't on duty,

but we do carry scanners,
just in case.

Right.

And Tim does follow Mike.

Sometimes.

Tim's convinced that Mike
killed Tara for the money.

I really feel for the guy.

I do too.

Tim thinks that Mike killed
his sister and got away with it.

And maybe he's right.

But you don't believe it?

Well, I'm certainly open
to the possibility.

Yeah.

Well, home sweet home.

Yeah. Right.

Thank you for the escort.

Anytime.

Yeah.

Goodnight.

Night.

This case was a controversial
choice for many people

in the county.

But I think everyone should kno

if Tara's killer is still
out there,

or sitting in prison,
convicted of armed car-jacking.

When Tara's car was found,

the forensics unit
went over it thoroughly.

They found 37 prints,
or partials.

All smeared.

They also found a gym bag,

which suggests that maybe Tara
was on her way

to the gym when she
was ambushed.

The prosecutor, Mr. Farrell,

said that there was no evidence
found with Tara's body

that supports re-opening
the case.

However, they have not released
any information

about the evidence that was
found at the gravesite.

One of the biggest mysteries
with this case is when.

When was Tara killed?

We're going to go over
possible timelines,

and what that says
about possible suspects.

All of that on the next episode
of Recovered.

Woof Wash, the best in pet
grooming and couture.

Hello, is this
Charlene Franklin?

It is.

Can I help you?

I'm looking to have
my dog groomed

and you came highly recommended.

Aw, who recommended me?

Well, I read your reviews
online.

Um, well, my human clients
are just as important to me

as my four-legged ones.

Uh, what's your
little darling's name?

Hearst.

He does need some grooming.

We were just hoping
that you had time for him,

uh, this afternoon.

Um, yeah, I'm available
in two hours.

Can you come to me?

Yeah, just, uh, send me a text
with the address to this number.

Okay, I will.

Thank you.

Hey, how was Philly?

Frank Cipriani and Tara
are connected.

Tara was the prosecutor who
put Frankie away for extortion,

but she had other cases against
him that she couldn't make yet.

Other cases?

You mean like cold cases?

Cause that's what these are.

She would be furious
that he got out early.

You know she made a promise
to him that she would show up

at every parole hearing to make
sure that he never got out.

When did he get released?

It was three years ago.

April 1st, the hearing
was March 14th.

March 14th?

Yes.

At 3:00 PM.

This was in Tara's car.

There's no detail on what
the file was about.

She planned to go to his early
release hearing.

Tim said that the last text
he's sure actually came

from his sister read,

she's gonna see an old Philly
friend who's laid up.

An old Philly friend,
not a friend in Philly.

Oh, Frankie was definitely
laid up,

and she didn't make
that hearing,

and now he's a free man.

Are you sure we're
not just doing

some crazy conspiracy
thinking?

Look, I'm just tellin' ya that
I covered the mob for 12 years.

This is what they do.

Okay.

Do you know for a fact
that this guy

is actually Frankie Twoshoes?

Twotone.

Much different thing.

Much different fashion
statement.

Two... Frankie Twotone.
You know it's him?

I'm 99 percent sure.

I mean, I haven't seen him
in a long time,

so I do need to confirm that.

But if he was in prison when
she was killed then how could-

He could have contracted
the hit.

I mean, he... he'd get someone
in his family to do it.

Hey. Kendall just sent this in.

She said there's no record
this Paul Adams existed

before three and a half
years ago,

when he set up Wallace
Falls shipping.

And if you want her to look
at the database

for organized crime,
she can.

Great, thank you.

Oh, no no, wait, wait wait.

Uhh, Kendall's got her freshman
class mixer tonight,

she's gotta stop doing
our work for us.

I'll call her.

Thank you. Chuck.

Okay. So, Paul Adams is
obviously an alias.

Well, he wasn't part of
the Philly crew,

or I would have recognized him.

I gotta get a picture of his.

Hey, Chuck!

Yeah?

What do you guys raise
on your family's farm?

Uh, like corn, and soybeans.

You know, we used to have
a hundred acres,

but now we're...

Interesting, but not today.

You have a big spread and you're
looking for cheaper ways

to ship your grain.

Are you in?

Sure.

No, no. You are not making Chuck
spy on mobsters.

Mobsters?

Oh, so you believe.

Alleged mobsters.

Well, there's only one way
to find out.

But, of course, we would
need your help.

This had better be page 1.

It will be.

Afternoon.

Can I help you?

Yeah, I, uh, I hear you're
gettin' the river channel

open again.

Should be up and running soon.

Uh, great, well, uh, we've got
1700 acres of soybeans

over in Grisham County,

and we could sure use some
cheaper transport.

Sorry, excuse me.

Hi, excuse me.

I'm Alex McPherson, I'm looking
for Frank Cipriani.

Work it Chuck,
I'll see you soon.

I'm sorry, I don't know a...

You don't have a partner
named Frank Cipriani?

I'm following Frankie.

Yep.

I'm real sorry, miss.

I just can't help you.

Well, all right then.

But, uh, give me a call
if you change your mind.

Hey, can I call you
right back?

Yeah. You bet.

Okay, bye.

Hello?

Hello?

Hi!

Hi.

Hi, buddy.

Hearst!

Hearst, can you say hi?

Oh, that's a good boy.

Come here, Hearst.

Oh my gosh,
you're adorable.

All right, well, his hair
is short,

so, um, what are you thinkin'?

Um, I guess just shaping,
you know?

Okay.

His toenails, and ears,
the works.

Okay, all right.

Well, come on in.

Hey, have we met before?

No, I think I'd remember.

Oh.

All right, well, come on in.

Wow. Not a lot of people would
appreciate

how cool a Mohawk
looks on a poodle.

You're very creative.

I know, right?

Is that you out hiking at
the Bristol Springs trail?

It's so pretty up there.

Yeah, I, uh, I used to go
there all the time.

My boyfriend and I used
to picnic up there.

Okay, uh, let's work on
those paws.

Let's see.

Let's see your nails.

Hey.

Hey. Chuck. How'd it go?

Yeah, it was great.

Uh, we totally bonded.

It's gonna be a serious
operation.

Here, I snapped some pics.

Here, check it out.

Oh, cool. Thanks.

Yeah, they seem to import a lot
of gourmet Italian food.

Oh, and I walked by one of those
shipping containers

and I am pretty sure I saw
a printing press.

Printing press?

Yeah, I only saw
the corner of it,

but I'm... I'm pretty sure
that's what it was.

It was weird.

Well, Drew texted me that he's
gonna follow Frank all day.

Are you on mob detail, too?

Well, I can multitask.

What do you need?

I need to figure out the
timeline for Tara's death.

Okay, how about...

We could take your pie
to go.

Yeah.

Birdwatching?

Frankie.

My man Godfrey.

Long time no see.

That's a new look for you.

My whole life's new these days.

A new leaf.

Lots of 'em.

This your land?

My cousin's.

He gave me a fresh start.

It's his farm.

Wallace Falls Shipping.

His business, too.

Huh.

Cousin Paul's life,
you're just livin' it?

Well, they say if
you wanna reform,

you gotta lose
old associations.

Your old crew.

It's like being in recovery.

So, prison reformed you?

I learned so much.

I never had time to read before.

Now I've got a business degree.

Studied agriculture.

Hmm. Go figure.

Now you're a florist.

People love their sunflowers.

It's a little labour intensive,
but it's worth it.

It's called a cover crop.

You really did read
a book.

You can make a U-turn down there
and head back to the highway.

I love a good redemption story.

Made my day, Frankie.

Next time, call ahead.

I'll make dinner.

It's farm to table over here.

Clay Burrell was in jail
until June 15th.

So, he couldn't have
killed Tara,

or sent any of the texts
before then.

Uh, I just can't believe
how many texts there are.

We have to see if there's
a way to tell.

Something different
about the texts,

before and then after,

so that we can see if maybe
it was someone different.

Well, there are fewer of them.

She stopped using the
contraction for "you are"

and started typing "your."

Not exactly a lawyer move.

Chuck. I need those
pictures of Paul.

Hey'd you find him?

Frankie, is it him?

Oh, definitely. We had
a little chat.

You confronted the mobster?

Yup. Walked right up to him.

Claims that he's a reformed man,
gentleman farmer.

You know, he called Paul
his cousin,

so I need an ID on that.

Here you go.

Hey, those are good.

Yeah, well thank your resident
gossip columnist.

Woah. Okay, you're going
to take that.

Thanks, Chuck.

Yeah, you bet.

Good.

Enjoy your pie.

So, how's the timeline?

Well, I mean the texts
definitely changed in March.

They became more threatening,

and then June 15th,
they slowed way down.

Like someone else
was writing them?

Yes, maybe.

I mean, Clay Burrell
is free by then.

How about the girlfriend?

She is an excellent dog groomer.

And she told me that
she and her boyfriend

used to picnic
at Bristol Springs.

No kidding.

Hmm.

Or, it could be
Frankie's hitman.

Wait a second.

Aren't you the one who said
you have to build a story,

baby steps at a time?

I am, I am.

It's just that I know
what he's capable of.

What about the phone
and the texts?

Same motive as Mike's, he just
wants to muddy the timeline.

Okay, but why would he bother?

Because whatever Frankie's
working on is big,

and he wants a cover.

He wants the look legit.

What could that be?
Like, smuggling something?

Maybe running drugs?

Yup. Maybe.

I mean, that's what
I'm gonna go find out.

I see that look on your face.

Drew, no.

What?

What?

What are we supposed to do, are
we supposed to call the sheriff

when they haven't done
anything illegal?

Yet?

Isn't it dangerous to go
snooping around?

Look, they have been going
through a lot of trouble

to look like a regular business

in a place they have never done
business before.

They are not going to blow
their cover.

How else am I gonna
get the story?

Well, you shouldn't go alone.

All right. You can come with me.

Me?

Yup. Tonight.

What lovely weather for this.

Well, I told you you didn't
have to come.

You said it was a criminal
organization.

I don't see security
or anything.

What, were you expecting
goons with machine guns?

I mean-

Well... they still have to look
like a shipping company.

This doesn't look like they're
guarding anything.

There's nothing here.

Yeah, well I guess they're
waiting for whatever it is

supposed to be.

Oh, hey look.

That is a printing press.

What?

Chuck said he saw a printing
press when he was here.

What are they, counterfeiting
something?

I mean, why would they
need to ship that?

Hmm.

Oh, jeez,
go go go!

Somebody's coming.

What?

Go, go. Go in here.

r here, right?

Yeah, I mean.

It could be sealed too, so...

What?!

Are we being lifted?

You know what?

The good news...

It's hard to come by.

The good news is,
the higher we get,

the better reception
we'll have.

Oh, okay, good point.

I'm gonna call the sheriff.

No, no, no, no.
Don't the sheriff.

We can't call the sheriff.

Why not?

Call Miles.

No, no. I do not want him
to know that I was here.

You could call your fireman.

Shawn?

Yeah.

He isn't my fireman.

Right.

Okay.

Ow.

Why?

Are you okay?

Yes.

He does have a truck
and a ladder.

And a siren.

- Right.
- Right.

Okay.

I'm calling Shawn.

Okay.

Officer, what happened?

Who was working
that crane tonight?

None of my workers.

We're closed.

We have had some trouble
with hooligan use in the area.

We'll beef up security.

Are you sure you're all right,
miss?

Yeah, yeah. I'm fine.

Uh, officer, we just got lost.

I was...

We were just...

We went to... go...

Miss, uh, you wanna come over
here and check your vitals.

Yeah, yeah, good idea.

I'll just be over here.

Tell me you've got
a good story.

Oh yeah.

Officer, I'm sure they didn't
see the no-trespassing sign.

They promise not to sue,
I won't press charges.

I promise.

You need to get better fencing
around that equipment.

It's on order.

Thanks for coming out,
officer.

Okay.

Thank you.

Kind of amazing how fast
you got here,

coming from Cousin Paul's farm.

You really should be
more careful.

You too.

Have a good night.

Hey, what's up?

Mike.

Hey. Thanks for meeting us.

How many cases did you
and Tara work together?

Uh, six or seven. Why?

Do you know a man named
Frank Cipriani?

Frankie Twotone?

Yeah, I mean,
Tara prosecuted him.

Why are you asking about him?
He's in prison.

Not anymore.

What?

The... That thug gets early
release when Tara is...

Where is he?

Don't worry about it.
We're investigating him.

We don't know anything yet.

But if we find out
anything definite,

we'll be sure to let
you know.

Okay.

Thanks.

Of course.

You hear that?

Early release?

Yeah. Not parole,
not furloughed.

He already knew.

I mean, he says he hasn't
talked to Tara since March.

How does he find that out?

From the file in her car?

Huh?

Ready to trade room service
for a garden and a view?

Real estate listings.

I mean, the carriage house
is just sitting there.

I'll think about it.

I've heard rumblings.

Sheriff Monty thinks the case
deserved another look.

He was overruled, but that's why
he ran the ballistics anyway.

So, is he comparing the
ballistics to Mike's gun?

Clay Burrell's? Both?

Mike's.

The results should be back soon.

Hey, Alex.

Sorry, I couldn't keep
an eye on him.

I had to grab the desk.

What? Who?

Mike was here, and he was going
through one of those boxes.

Mike Thurman.

Mm-hmm.

Really?

I guess it doesn't
really matter,

I mean, he's the one
who brought them in to us,

so maybe we don't have
to worry about it?

Okay.

Uh, also a woman named,
uh, Laurie Sutton called?

That's Tara's old assistant.

I gave her my cell.

Why'd she call the paper?

Well, maybe she just wanted
to check it out,

make sure you were
who you said you were?

Could be.

Also, I used the old
Chuck charm,

and I found out that
she's a yoga instructor now,

and she will meet you
after class to chat.

I told you.

Assistants really do rule
the world.

Thank you.

Yeah, you bet.

I'm gonna get changed
and go work on the press,

unless you need anything else.

Yeah, sounds great.
Thank you, Chuck.

Oh. Hey, Drew.

Yup?

Hey, so I've been looking
at this Caputo file,

and it's a possible suicide.

Do you know why Tara
would have kept it?

Oh, because it wasn't.

I mean, the whole south side
knew that Frankie

"helped" Caputo off
a brownstone roof.

I mean, he even reached up
and grabbed his St. Francis

medallion off Frankie's neck,

Caputo still had it in his hand
when they found him.

Ugh.

Medallion?

Yeah.

Drew.

Like this?

Yeah.

Yeah, that's it.

Tara had this on the wall
in her office until she left.

Actually, the DA in Philly
told me that she would take

the medallion to Frankie's trial
every day,

and put it on the prosecutor's
desk,

so he would know that she knew
and that she was comin' for him.

I knew I'd like this lady.

Hmm.

But it should be here, right?

The medallion? Yup.
Should be.

That's what all these boxes are,
right?

There's evidence
for all of the files.

For every case she had.

She had it meticulously kept.

This medal was so important
to her.

Wait.

If she was going to the early
release hearing...

It might be in the car.

Yes.

Well, there's a list in here
of everything.

All the contents
of the car and...

No, no, there's
no mention of it.

So, would Frankie's hitman
have known to take it back?

He might have?

Or, maybe...

St. Francis is the patron
saint for what again?

Uh...

The environment.
Animals.

Animals, right?

Yeah.

Don't you remember what Clay
said in that interrogation?

He said "Thanks, Charlene.

"Where's your patron saint
when I need him."

Maybe he wanted to get his
girlfriend a little present.

Right.

So, Tara had it in the car,
he could have taken it.

Wait.

What's her name?

Charlene...

Franklin.

Franklin?

Yeah.

What are you doing?

Well, let's see what we can find
out about Charlene Franklin.

Oh.

Shoplifting, forgery,
cheque kiting.

Oh, she seemed so sweet.

She loves animals.

I get it. She's Clay
Burrell's girlfriend.

Maybe she was helping him
from the outside.

Yeah.

Maybe.

And draw your spine
up to the sky.

And one last cleansing breath.

And release.

Namaste.

Namaste.

Tara was fun.

Not snobby like
the other lawyers.

She knew everyone's birthdays,
and not just the partners'.

Like the janitor,
the copy room guys.

So, did you hang out?

Well, she was more like
a mentor.

But she always had good advice.

She worked just as hard
as anyone.

But she didn't take it out
on other people.

She had her routine,
and that chilled her out.

What was her routine?

She worked out every morning.

She'd even take her clothes
and change at the gym

so she didn't have
to go back home.

Wow, she was serious.

That was the one thing
she splurged on.

She had the best gear.

She invited me to go
with her a couple of times.

Now I wish I had gone.

Did she ever talk to you
about Mike?

Tara and Mike had crazy fights.

Like glass-breaking fights.

You heard it?

I brought some files to the
hotel and I heard it myself.

Did you ever see her around...

this guy?

Or, um, maybe that guy?

No, not those guys.

The only other person
I saw her with

was that girl, Betsy.

Hey, Charlene.

We're closed.

In fact, you should take that
sweet dog somewhere else,

Alex McPherson.

Oh, you heard my podcast.

Why can't you just leave
Clayton alone?

He's already locked up
for something he didn't do.

He didn't take those cars?

He was a mechanic
at Maitland's.

That's why his fingerprints
were all over them.

And you don't want him to be
accused of something

he didn't do.

Exactly.

I'm just trying to get
to the truth.

And I think you can help.

Yeah, St. Francis.

I like him.

Okay. So, do you like this
particular medal?

Have you seen this before?

I'm late.

So, did, uh, Charlene have
the medallion?

I don't know.

She found out who I was,
and she didn't like it.

Well, like she was threatening?

No.

But she was upset.

Oh, look at this.

I just got an ID on Frankie's
cousin Paul Adams.

Paul Dicenzo, AKA
Paulie Snakeskin?

I don't want to know.

He is from the West Coast,
he is a low-level bookie

who was displaced
by the tech crunch.

Online gambling.

So, then he went into shipping?

I know, but how did
he get the money?

I guess Frankie
had some put away?

Money for what?

Those shipping containers
we found were empty.

Well, for now.

For Now.

But not for long.

Have fun.

You know what?
It's actually not fun.

It's very serious business.

You love it.

I do.

Hi, Tim.

I got him.

Who?

Mike.

You bought his line.

Poor, grieving husband.

Oh, in case you're wondering.

These were taken yesterday.

The two of 'em.

Look at 'em.

It's the long game.

Mike killed Tara so he could
keep her money,

and his girlfriend.

I thought you said
you didn't talk anymore.

We... we don't.

I... I... I just went by to ask
her about the time

after Tara disappeared.

If she remembered
anyone following us,

or... or at her house.

Anyone like Frank.

So now, when I ask Betsy,
what will she say?

Uh, I don't know.

Mike.

I... I wasn't coaching her.

I just asked. That's all.

All right.

I don't see Frank's truck,
so I think we're good.

You're sure you're not burnt
as a customer?

No. Paul never put Alex
and I together.

All right good.

I'm gonna check this,
so you go back

and just keep them busy,
all right?

Okay.

I only went to see Tara once,

to tell her again that there
was no affair,

and that she should save
her marriage.

What did she say?

Nothing.

She keyed my car.

I never went back.

Wow. She really
did have a temper.

You should have seen Mike's face
when I told him.

Now can you please just look at
the testimony or you could...

Excuse me, Ms. McPherson.

I'm sorry, but I have to ask
you to leave.

Please. Let her be.

Of course.

Tara and Mike had crazy fights.

Like, glass-breaking fights.

And, Tara's twin brother,
Tim Reynolds.

Oh, you mean that crazy stuff?

That's not her.

Tara had a temper, but
she was never a stalker.

Who was the real
Tara Thurman?

Don't do it!

Tim?

What are you doing?

What is in your hand?

Ah, you walked back
to dump something.

What is it?

Look, I swear man.

If you don't back off...

Yeah? You'll what?

Huh?

You'll what?

Hey! I didn't kill her, man.

Guys, hey!

Break it up.

Break it up.

Hey!

I got you.

I got you.

Well, this looks like evidence
to me.

It's not what you think.

All right?

Why don't we take a listen?

No, no, no, no you laugh,
but it worked.

It was perfect, man.

This goon made everyone
believe he'd been attacked.

So, we had deputies,
new hotels, I mean,

he'd set the whole thing up
just to get sympathy.

There was no break in,
no threat.

You want to change the subject,

make sure nobody's looking
at your crimes?

You make yourself the victim.

Good plan.

Okay, I, I, I know how
that sounds.

But... but honestly,

I'd forgotten all about
that recording

until you started asking
about old cases.

But that's when you decided to
come back over here and help?

I just, I didn't want you
to stumble across it

and think that's what I did
the other night.

Someone really did break
into my house.

I wasn't trying to distract you
or gain sympathy.

But you know what?

You're gonna think
what you wanna think,

so I'll just stay out of it.

I dunno. What do you think?

There's a lot of passion running
around between him and Tara?

They had a lot of fights,
that's for sure.

Yeah, but Frank had
a lot at stake, too, you know?

His freedom, new business.

I mean, something went down
at that yard today,

something's in motion.

Follow the money.

Greed is up there with jealousy.

Have you never seen
a crime of passion?

Yeah.

People get passionate
about money.

I found out about the testimony
the court sealed

in Mike's trial.

It was an incident
in high school.

Tara was 16.

She found out her
boyfriend cheated,

and she keyed his car.

That sounds familiar.

Then, she filled the interior
with foam,

from a foam machine they had
rented for the school carnival.

Well, I mean, it's creative.

You gotta give her that.

The judge must have thought
that it sounded like a prank.

And she was a minor.

So, I'm sure that's why
they sealed the record.

Wow.

Mm-hmm.

Good work, Katie.

So you're talking about 71,000
bushels, give or take.

Yeah on a good year.

Can you guys handle that?

I didn't see the whole facility
last time.

We're consolidating in there
at the moment.

Boom, this is key, isn't it?

Me, I double-crop.

Come see it.

Oh, I'm sure it's great,
but, uh...

But you're not convinced.

Wait till you see.

Where are you going?

Where are you going?

Leave your truck here.

I'll bring you back and we'll
take the tour.

No, no, no, no, no, no.

Chuck, do not get in the truck
with the gangster.

Hello there.

Keeping the river in line?

No.

Ain't nobody keep
this river in line.

I tried for 45 years,
working the barges.

But that eddy out there collects
way too much debris.

The current is that strong, huh?

Oh, you best believe.

You chuck anything far enough,
ha, it's gone.

I've seen all kinds of stuff
go in that river.

A lot of junk these days

that people got no
business tossing out.

Pollutin' the river.

Hmm.

Guess we'll all pay for that.

And deserve it too.

Justice is truth in action.

We will pay.

Do you spray it all,
or is it all natural?

It's all natural.

Yup.

Yeah, well, you know, I hear yo
on the double-crop.

We could all stand to make some
money between seasons,

but I just can't get around
the labour.

There is the rub, as they say.

Unbelievable.

Oh!

Uh...

Okay, I have to go.

Thank you.

I gotta admit, it's tempting.

With our acreage, we'd
probably flood the market

with sunflowers.

I can help you with that.

We have the distribution set up.

You want to be
the sunflower king?

I dunno, more like
the sunflower oil king.

Just called the sheriff,

sent him pictures of everything
in the barn.

They're on the way
to the warehouse, too.

You're busted.

Officer, I wan

and collateral evidence.

First you seen of it?

I haven't been in that
barn for weeks, sir.

I had no idea.

Food crime?

Sixteen-billion dollar
business worldwide.

This was their lab.

They take sunflower oil,
which has no odour or taste,

you add a little bit
of chlorophyll,

couple drops of the real thing,
next thing you know,

you've got a bottle
of counterfeit olive oil

that'll cost ya maybe
50 cents.

That's all?

But you slap an extra
virgin olive oil label on it...

Make it sell for what,
15, 20 bucks?

Wow...

Better profit margin
than narcotics.

A lot less risk.

But of course, Frankie knew
nothing about any of this

which is why he's so shocked.

Right?

Right.

Hey.

Hey.

Hey, uh, they confiscated
that printing press

in their warehouse.

Yeah, of course, they printed
their own labels.

It's a lot smaller
than our press,

but same manufacturer,
same mechanism.

Maybe after they close
the case we could, uh...

Sounds like the sheriff and I
should have a little chat.

Don't worry, Chuck.

Hey guys.

How'd it go?

Paul's under arrest.

They intercepted a shipment
at the warehouse,

so it's felony charges.

Good.

What about Frank?

Total deniability.

His name wasn't on anything.

Not the property or anything
on the docks?

Bank accounts?

Nothing.

As long as he cooperates,
he'll get to walk on this.

Is there any way you can get
Paul to flip on him?

I mean, if Frank ordered
a hit on Tara Thurman...

Yeah, we already ran it down.

Turns out, Paul Dicenzo
was in jail

out in Nevada most of the year.

So, then Frank's consorting
with a known felon.

That's a violation.

No such luck.

Multiple misdemeanours.

Paul can't be a killer.

Miles.

Thanks, Sheriff.

Appreciate it.

Sheriff.

Well, I'm afraid that
Mr. Cipriani

will still be walking our
streets, for the time being.

Alex will want to see this.

Thanks, Miles.

Just got the final ballistics
report from your uncle.

Oh, great.

And the bullet they recovered
from Tara's grave?

Seventy-five percent match
to the gun

seized from Mike Thurman.

Seventy-five percent?

For ballistics,
that's pretty good.

Pretty good...

What's that?

Oh, I just picked this up
for you as well.

The enlargements from
the crime scene photos.

Oh.

One of these things is not like
the other ones.

What?

Tara's clothes.

Everything Tara owned
was a size small.

This red sweatshirt from
the gravesite, is a large.

So, this could be the killer's.

Well, it makes sense, right?

If you're the killer, and
you had to move a body,

you would cover it.

You would wrap it up
in something

so that you wouldn't get blood
all over you.

But you would leave DNA.

Yeah, but that evidence
would be degraded.

Right, of course.

Unless it was plastic
or a cell... phone.

Justice is truth in action.

Yes?

Glen, down by the river.

I went and talked to him,
he quoted this to me.

He has Tara's cell phone.

Come on.

You think Glen'll mind?

No, it's for a good cause.

Here, you want some gloves
to protect your hands?

Oh, yeah. Great idea.

What's that?

Just give me the gloves.

So, we actually are looking

for the entire phone case,
right?

I mean, it would be intact
if you read it.

Probably, but you know,

if someone came down here
to destroy that phone

and smash it to bits, it would
probably be metal bits.

Right.

Okay, something little,
like... this?

Yes.

You could get a fingerprint
off that.

I mean, that could be anyone's
phone though.

Right, but the case...

Right.

I mean, if it was that light,
it would probably float, right?

Well, that would make it
easy to snag.

Excuse me?

Glen.

Hi.

Can I help you?

Remember me, Drew?

Yeah, I remember
the both of ya.

Not a lot of people stop by
and talk much anymore,

you know the old niceties
are lost.

Right.

Look, I'm sorry about this.

But we're looking for a purple
cellphone case.

I think you found it.

You quoted it to me.

You mean this?

Yes.

Yes.

When did that turn up?

Wednesday morning.

Uh, fits my old phone perfectly.

I never upgrade.

Look, it's very important
to us, in fact,

it's evidence in a murder.

You people want to handle that
end of things,

I'd be obliged.

Great.

You know, this could
be huge.

Yeah.

The break-in happened
at Mike's on Tuesday.

I mean, if it was a break-in.

What if someone wasn't trying
to take something out,

what if they were trying
to bring something in?

Right, like they wanted
to plant the phone

and then got interrupted,

and then came here
to destroy it instead.

Maybe they succeeded and Mike
found it before we got there.

Mike would definitely want to
get rid of it and not tell us,

because who's going
to believe him

if it just suddenly shows up?

Maybe Charlene?

She would do anything
for Clayton.

Yeah.

Frankie?

I doubt that.

But somebody had that phone.

Maybe it's someone who
isn't even on our radar.

Hmm.

Ta-dah.

You want the final look?

Yeah.

I like it.

Goes to print tomorrow.

If the press works.

If not, can we get that
to Larson by 9:00

to shoot the plates?

Sure. Yeah, I'll have, uh,
Chuck on standby.

Great.

Hey, are you ready to close up?

Actually, I have a late dinner
with Kendall this evening.

That's nice.

You know what,
I'm gonna stay...

and work a little longer
in Miles' office.

Go over the board again,

get ready for my interview
with Mike.

All right.

His gun's a 75 percent match
to the bullet.

I know.

He looks guilty.

He does, and I just,

I don't think that you should be
interviewing him alone.

Well, I'll be here, right?

There's tons of people around,
it's broad daylight.

Well if suddenly there's
a security guard

that appears at reception,
just ignore him.

Okay...

Excuse me.

Is it a bad time?

Betsy.

I hope you don't mind, they told
me you were still up here.

No, of course, I...
I don't mind.

I'm just surprised to see you.

Yeah, me too.

I wanted to stay out of this,
but...

I'm sorry I was so rude
the other day at the office.

Of course.

Of course, I understand.

But you're here now, please.

I just, I know now that
I won't have any peace

unless I tell the truth.

Um.

When Mike and I said
that we hadn't had an affair

before him and Tara split up...

that was a lie.

We had been seeing each other.

When Mike and I were dating,

he used to talk about
getting rid of Tara.

He'd say it like a joke,
like a hypothetical

"well, if I was gonna do it,
I would do..."

Whatever.

I mean, I get it.

Tara really was over the top
and scary, really.

I know it's shocking, but I
honestly thought it was a joke.

A way for him
to blow off steam.

Not serious.

So, I protected him.

You have been busy.

Yeah, well.

Tara has a lot of stuff
to go through.

Um.

It's just messy.

And what's that there?

We don't know.

But now you do.

Don't you?

I really hoped I wouldn't have
to do this.

Is that the gun you used to...

Kill Tara?

No, that was Mike's gun.
I put it back.

You were trying to frame him?

Not then.

I thought I was going to spend
the rest of my life with him.

And it was working.

The more threats came in,
the more time he spent with me.

He was getting closer.

And then he got arrested
and he dumped me.

For my own good.

So, it was your red sweatshirt

that they found
with Tara's body.

Thank goodness I was wearing it.

I hadn't planned.

Red. Thank goodness Tara had
extra clothes in her car

that you could put on so
no one would see the blood.

That helped.

You think quick on your feet.

I had to.

I didn't want any of this.

No, of course not.

Obviously, you were just
carrying Mike's gun with you

because of Tara's temper.

In case she keyed my car?

Smashed my windows?

Slashed my furniture?

Please.

It was all you.

Mike had to see.

Even after she left him,
he wouldn't let her go.

Tara had no passion.

She didn't deserve Mike.

She paid no attention.

It was all about work.

Even that.

She fought harder to get back
a piece of evidence

than she did for her
own husband.

So, I kept it.

And now it reminds me.

Never take your eyes
off the prize.

And I haven't.

I finally figured it out.

I've changed.

I... I wouldn't chase after
someone who didn't want me now.

I have a man who loves me
and wants to marry me.

Got out to the truck,

I realized I forgot
the copy for back...

Alex!

Alex!

Hey, hey!

It's over.

You okay?

Betsy Gray confronted Tara
Thurman at dawn on March 4th.

Tara was on her way
to the gym.

Betsy jumped into her car

and forced her to drive
to the national forest.

The two struggled

and Betsy shot Tara
with Mike's gun.

Tara never threatened anyone.

Betsy used Tara's phone to send
those stalking messages,

to gain sympathy.

And it worked.

Betsy had sent those texts
to bring Mike around.

To protect her.

After the police searched
Mike's house,

Betsy hid Tara's phone there.

In case they searched hers.

She was keeping the phone,

hoping for the chance
to clear Mike

by sending a text proving Tara
was still alive,

from some big city like New York
at the right moment.

But she never had
that chance.

Mike suddenly broke it off
with her.

She never really got another
chance to get to that phone.

After a while,
Betsy moved on.

She'd forgotten about
the phone.

And then, they found
Tara's body.

She panicked.

She broke into Mike's house
to get that phone back

so she could destroy it.

And that's how we found her,
along with the medallion

that Tara had kept
to remind herself

to never stop looking
for justice.

Now that Tara's real killer
has been found,

a wrongly accused man may be
able to move on with his life.

And Tara's family

can find whatever peace comes
with answers.

Hey.

Hi.

Things are just
getting started.

There it is.

Look at that.

Good job.

What's this?

You leaving town?

Well, I always said
it wasn't permanent.

Right. Yeah, no.

Gotcha.

Real funny.

I'll be here tomorrow.
I gotta crack the whip.

Mm-hmm.

Speaking of which, do you have
a plan for the next front page?

Uh, well, there's always a
follow on the shipping story,

or Tara's murder.

Follow on?

That is not new news.

Oh, I got a good one actually.

There is a dog show
in Larson next week.

Front page.

Are you ready?

Of course.

I'll see you tomorrow.

See you tomorrow, boss.

As for me, I am finally
unpacking my bags

for the first time in years.

Which means I'll
be sticking around.

I'm Alex McPherson.

Coming soon is a new season
of Recovered.
