Thanks, everyone.

Wait what?

They're done?

No close-ups?

No coverage?

Director: No

Charlie: Hey,
good job pal.

Sarah: Ohhh.

Congratulations Rex.

I can't believe you're
in a commercial!

Charlie: Don't let
it go to your head.

All right?

[Sarah laughs]

Sarah: It's so
great of you-

to support such a
good cause, Charlie.

Oh, well don't give
him all the credit.

It was my idea
to use Rex.

And he's a
natural star.

We haven't met.

I'm Melissa.

I'm one of the advertising execs
in charge of the commercial.

Melissa of the
Three Roses Ad Agency!

Yes, Charlie has mentioned
such great things about you.

Oh!

Charlie: You see-

I do give credit
where credit is due.

[Melissa laughs]

Charlie mentioned-

that you volunteer
at the shelter as well.

I do, yeah.

Every Saturday.

It's so fulfilling.

It's where we
met, what-

a year ago?

Do you remember, Charlie?

Charlie: Yeah.

Because you made
fun of my jacket.

[Melissa laughs]

It was really
not your colour.

[phone beeps]

You need to
answer that?

No.

No, I have
nothing to say.

You know, Sarah?

I should introduce
you to my partners.

Viv, Em!

Emily is in
charge of art.

And Viv heads production.

I'm in charge
of sales.

We're a full

Wow!

That is a
formidable feat!

Oh don't say
feet please.

These heels
are killing me.

[they chuckle]

Oh I love
the scarves.

Very chic.

Melissa: Oh
thank you, yeah.

We saw Cardi B rocking
one in a Chanel ad.

And we thought,
why not?

Am I adding Rex to tonight's
wrap party guest list?

Charlie: Unfortunately no.

We've got to get back
to the grind tomorrow.

Hey pal?

Oh, Rex.

Charlie ruins all your
fun, doesn't he?

Emily: Okay.

Heels. Ladies.

Should we recast?

I thought you loved
the little ones.

Animals.

Never said nothing
about people.

Think if we turn
the lights off-

people will get the
message and just leave?

Yeah.

You know what?

Why don't you

Hey.

Sarah said you
knew the victim.

Uh- yeah, I did.

She used to volunteer
at the animal shelter.

Any luck with
the cameras?

No.

The motel clerk prides
himself on discretion.

No cameras.

Says he just found
the body before dawn.

Hey.

It seems she died
of a head injury.

Possibly an arterial bleed.

There was a deep
laceration at her temple.

Profuse bleeding.

Multiple wounds?

Sarah: No, single.

There was no sign of a
murder weapon, or struggle.

Whoever it was-

got close enough-

and Melissa didn't
put up a fight.

Maybe she
knew the killer.

Jesse: Well, I mean-

none of her valuables
were taken.

No struggle, no robbery.

[camera snapping]

Hotel parking lot.

Reads like she was
meeting somebody.

Well her wallet and phone
were wiped clean of prints.

And the ground
here by her feet-

someone wiped
the blood splatter.

Covering their tracks.

Yeah.

Jesse: Only one reason-

you'd meet
someone in a motel-

in the middle
of the night.

Charlie.

You saw her yesterday.

Did she mention
anything, anyone?

No.

She did receive that
upsetting text though.

I remember that, yeah.

Yeah, it changed her

[soft violins]

Emily: I just
hugged her-

in my arms-

just hours ago!

We shouldn't have
gone home early.

Don't go down
that road.

Trust me, it's-

Vivian: But I owe
her everything!

If we never met at
Rose Hall in college-

I would never have
majored in business.

Yeah, she would cook up soup
for you if you were sick-

or be your New Year's
date if you were single.

What do we
do now, today?

Dalton's demanding reshoots!

The shelter meant
the world to Mel.

We owe it to
her to finish.

And Rex and I
are here to help.

But-

I just need to ask a
few questions first.

I have the guest
list from last night.

Is there anyone on here that
Mel might have argued with-

or any enemies?

No, we hire
very carefully.

Everyone here
is like family.

So you don't
know anyone-

who might have sent
her a distressing text?

Vivian: I mean-

every other comment on
your social feed's distressing.

What about-

is it possible she was having
a discreet relationship-

anything that would have
brought her to that motel?

No, Mel was
single, like us.

So you left the
party at 10:00.

And that's the last time that
you saw or spoke to Melissa?

I got a call
from her-

at what must have
been around 1:00 am.

And she said she
was heading home.

♪♪
[soft music]

Emily, is there anything
you want to share?

Mel didn't
have a boyfriend.

But there may be an explanation
why she was at the motel.

Vivian: No, Emily.

We told
her to stop.

Well, maybe she didn't!

Mel had of bit
of a wild streak.

She liked to
go to the bar-

get tipsy and
pick up strangers.

Any particular bar?

Rita: Yeah.

I knew Mel.

Hard to miss her.

-Did you see her
here last night?

She called around 11:00 to
see if she'd make last call.

What time did
she get here?

-I have no idea.

Detective, the bar
was very busy.

Does that camera work?

Yeah, it works.

But only the manager
can access it.

And he's on
his honeymoon.

I can't wait
that long.

Hey pal.

Come here.

[Rex sniffing]

Track Melissa.

[Rex sniffing]

[Rex barks]

Melissa was
sitting there.

[Rex sniffing]

Then she moved
to that booth.

Do you know who was
sitting at the booth?

Oh yeah, I
certainly do.

A bunch of guys
from RWA.

RWA?

The oil company?

-Yeah, riggers
or some such.

I saw the logo
on their coat.

Bozos skipped
out on their bill.

[Rex barks]

Where does
this door lead?

It's a shortcut to the
bar's back parking lot.

Regulars use it.

Melissa used it too.

-Detective.

You work with Joe
Donovan, right?

-I do.

Would you tell him
that Rita said hi?

And that she's keeping
her nose clean?

♪♪
[suspenseful music]

Good job, pal.

You found Melissa's car.

[Rex barks]

What else you got?

[Rex barks]

Yeah, I see it.

A slashed tire.

I think we'd better
get Sarah here.

Pulled this print
off the door.

It looks smudged
with some kind of-

I don't know,
wet, gooey-

Crude oil?

Could be.

I'll know for sure when I have
it analyzed back at the lab.

Lucky guess?

No, I'm just putting
the pieces together.

Rex tracked Melissa's
scent to a booth-

where a bunch of workers for the
RWA rig yard had been partying.

Her friends called
it a wild streak.

Wild streak?

Yeah.

I thought dating
norms changed.

Aren't they swiping
with agency now?

Well I guess some double
standards didn't get the memo.

She didn't drive
over anything sharp.

This damage was
done with a knife.

It had to have happened
after she parked here.

By somebody who didn't want
her leaving in her own car.

I bet the answer to who that
is lies with ID'ing that print.

Yeah, I'm still trying to track
down the texter's identity.

What's taking so long?

Jesse: The
messages were sent-

using an encrypted

Any personal information
is completely hidden.

What about the
prints from her car?

There's no match
in the system.

But the gooey substance
is definitely oil though.

Gooey?

Is that the
forensic term?

It is if
I say so.

The oil ties one
of those riggers-

to tampering
with Melissa's car.

So I shut up and
followed her lead.

And what
was her lead?

-She pulled me outside.

We made
out a little.

I opened
her car door.

She changed her mind.

Said she
wanted to stop.

And did you stop?

I did.

She took my
number and I left.

What about the
slashed tire?

-I don't know
anything about that.

Like I
said, I left.

Wanted to walk off
my buzz before work.

-Hmmm.

How cold was
it last night?

Cold.

But my license
has been revoked-

for speeding.

So no car
to drive.

-Well that's something
that we can verify.

You know, what would help
right now is your phone.

What time did
your shift start?

An hour ago.

-Jacket's pretty dirty
for working an hour.

Is it a crime
to skip laundry?

[Rex barks]

-No.

But Rex smells our
victim on you, and-

I see blood
on your collar.

Doesn't look like
it's from shaving.

Jimmy got hurt on
the rig yesterday.

I helped him out.

-Great.

So you don't mind if I run
forensics on your coat then?

I'd have to be a
fool to kill a woman-

and show up to work
with her blood on me.

Do you know how many fools
Rex and I have put behind bars?

Take your coat off!

[Rex growls]

Yeah, Charlie.

This is a company phone.

RWA blocks installing
third-party apps.

Meaning?

Meaning the phone
doesn't have-

encrypted messaging
capabilities.

Joey's not our stalker.

Well maybe not.

But he still might
be our murderer.

Did you have a chance
to run Joey's jacket yet?

Yes, and the blood is
not a match to Melissa.

Sorry, Charlie.

Jesse: Guys, I think
I have something.

I don't know how much
help it's going to be, but-

the bar surveillance
just came in.

Problem is-

the camera is only pointed
at the bar though.

Oh here we go.

Okay.

The timestamp shows Melissa
ordering a drink at 12:18 AM.

Okay.

There's not
much after that.

I mean-

we don't see Mel for
the rest of the night.

So we just have Joey's word for
what happened to her after that.

Well yes and no.

I mean, phone
records confirmed-

that Melissa called
Vivian at one.

Donovan: Well she didn't
take her car from the bar.

So, who drove her?

Joey?

No.

No, it wouldn't
be Joey.

His story checks out.

His license was revoked.

Jesse: You know-

the motel doesn't
have any cameras-

where Melissa's
body was found.

But there is a nail salon
kitty-corner to it.

If they have surveillance-

might be able to catch
Melissa arriving that night.

It's worth
checking out, Jesse.

Jesse: Yeah.

Speaking of checking out-

I have something to
show you in the lab.

Okay.

No no no.

I'm not handing over my security
footage to a complete stranger.

Like I said-

I am with the St. John's
Police Department.

Okay?

This is in regards
to a homicide case.

Even more of a reason
not to get involved.

You're not getting involved!

I just need access-

to the camera
footage alright?

There might be-

information on there-

that could help solve
a young woman's murder.

I watch cop shows.

You should
get a warrant.

And I know you
need one of those-

if you want to get your
hands on my property.

Well thank you television for
making my job so much easier!

Charlie: Okay.

Oh yeah.

I see it now.

What is it?

Any idea?

Rust flakes-

pulled from Melissa's hair-

right by her
head wound.

So the murder weapon
was likely metal.

-Exactly.

Some kind of pipe,
I'm thinking.

-Huh.

Rex and I were due at the
Roses' studio a half hour ago.

Oh, reshoots are today?

Yeah I know.

In the middle

The bug recorded a phone

I'd heard the news.

And I knew I had to

For the record,
Tabitha was my friend.

I liked her.

Oh.

Unlike this stain

We all have extras.

Duty calls.

Mel carried hers
in her purse.

Vivian: Em.

Were not here to
talk about scarves.

Charlie-

the reason we didn't
mention Tabitha-

is because Mel told us
never to bring her up.

Tabitha was taboo.

Her time here
was like a tsunami.

How do you mean?

Tabitha mismanaged
a large account.

Almost bankrupted us.

Mel had to re-mortgage her
condo just to keep us afloat.

Emily: I told her
every decision-

had to go
through Melissa.

And she refused.

We had to protect
the business.

So, we let her go.

How'd she take that?

Vivian: She was spiteful.

Started bad-mouthing
us in the industry.

Mel lost sleep
for weeks.

Hmm.

If Tabitha hurt Melissa-

are we in
danger too?

There's no evidence
of that yet.

But you know,
just be cautious-

until we learn more.

They're liars.

They'll tell you I mismanaged
an account and had to go.

So, what is
the truth?

-Truth was-

I knew what
I was doing.

They're three friends
from college-

who run every thought
by each other.

Even lunch orders.

Hmm.

And you didn't fit
in with the group.

-No.

And they blacklisted
me for it.

I couldn't get work.

I had to move back home
as an adult woman.

Any chance you've been sending
Melissa angry messages?

Only because she'd been
ignoring me for months.

I have an interview
coming up.

She's the only person
who can clear my name.

I am good
at what I do.

And I deserve
a second chance.

Okay.

What about being
at the same bar?

-I don't know.

Maybe we both
like cheap drinks.

Look.

She ignored
me all night.

And I was
fed up.

So when I went outside
and saw her car-

I slashed her tire.

I guess I could be charged
for admitting that.

It wasn't even cathartic-

like not like if it had
been Em or Viv's car.

What do you
mean by that?

They're the ones who screwed
up the account and blamed me.

Don't be fooled by
their good-girl act.

Those Roses are
nothing but thorns.

it's time we look

It's Melissa
from the Roses!

How are you?

Couldn't be better.

I wanted to follow up
on our pitch last week.

How is your
team feeling?

Sarah: Come on!

Melissa: That's great to hear.

I'll start drawing up

Talk soon!

Charlie: Another

And then we'll
call it a night.

You've been saying
that for an hour.

I don't think
Rex buys it.

[Charlie sighs]

I don't blame him.

[Sarah groans]

How many more business
phone calls can we listen to?

Okay.

Here's the deal.

Donovan: Anything interesting
turn up on the bug?

Yeah.

There was.

And it was recorded the
morning that Melissa died.

Emily: Are you even
listening to me?

Melissa: Take a walk
and cool off Emily.

Emily: You care more
about other people-

than you care
about us!

Melissa: If it wasn't for
me caring about you-

you wouldn't
have this job.

I'm the only person
who'd hire you.

You're a criminal!

Hold on.

Does Emily
have a record?

Yeah.

She spent a little
bit of time in juvie.

She hit a classmate over the
head with a volleyball trophy.

Melissa died from a
fatal blow to the head.

So- a similar MO.

Charlie: Yeah, so we
checked Emily's alibi-

for the night
of the murder.

She said that she
was home at 11:00.

But the concierge said
it was closer to dawn.

And she was in tears
when she showed up.

Sarah: You might
be in tears-

if you spent the night
killing your best friend.

People form an opinion

What about
your time in juvie?

Mel looked past that.

She was really
an angel about it.

But-

every now and then-

She'd remind you how
much you owed her?

Friends sometimes just don't
realize how their words-

can sting.

But I swear-

I would never
hurt her over it.

[Rex whines]

Thanks buddy.

Bada bing!!

Check out what I found on
the nail salon's footage.

Now, I think
I can make out-

a partial license plate.

Partial?

That's it?

Well yeah.

I mean, they parked outside
the range of the camera.

But the good
news is-

that the car's arrival lines
up with our timeline.

[computer pings]

-Yeah, that passenger-

could be Melissa.

Same hair.

Same build.

Well if it is-

it proves that she was driven
to the motel that night.

-So, the question
now is-

who's behind the wheel?

[Rex groans]

Charlie: What is it pal?

Something in Melissa's office?

Well since the door
is open already-

I might as well
take a second look.

Looks like you're going
to become a star, pal.

What is it?

Redecorating?

Except the delivery
address is different.

[Rex whines]

Hey Jesse.

I need you to check out
an address for me.

She was moving out.

So I guess we were starting to
spend too much time together?

No, my team
looked into it.

And uh-

she was starting
her own agency.

What?

Why?

Why would
she leave us?

We're the Three Roses.

I thought we
shared everything.

Well I guess
Melissa didn't.

Now that makes sense.

What?

Our three long-
time clients.

None of them are
answering any of my calls.

Melissa stole them.

[phone buzzing]

Excuse me.

Hey Jesse.

What have you got?

Well I just
traced the plates-

of the car that drove
Melissa to the motel.

-Great.

Whose car is it?

Amal Malek.

But you and I are more
familiar with her son, Joey.

So, our oil worker was
driving his mom's car-

with a suspended license.

Shouldn't be
getting into a car-

with a suspended
license, Joey.

Hey, my-

My mom
drove me here.

Charlie: Oh yeah.

Sure she did.

[dramatic music]

[Rex sniffing]

What have
you got pal?

What's Melissa's scarf
doing in your mom's car?

I don't know.

-Yeah?

So who killed her?

You or your mom?

♪♪
[dramatic percussion]

Hey.

You about to
interrogate Joey?

Yeah, heading in
there right now.

Is it true that Rex found
Melissa's scarf in his car?

-Yeah, In his
front seat.

Okay, check your phone.

I sent you a photo
from the crime scene.

What confuses
me is you'll see-

when they
found her body-

Melissa was
wearing the scarf.

How could she lose it and
then be wearing it later?

Emily said that she kept
extras in her purse.

Yeah, but it was the
middle of the night.

Why put a
new one on?

I don't know.

But Joey might.

The company has a zero-tolerance
policy for drinking and driving.

I only
had a pint.

But it doesn't matter.

Okay so you lied about driving
so that you wouldn't be fired?

That.

And a woman who was
in my mother's car-

turned up dead
the next day.

Charlie: Yeah.

Let's talk about
that, okay?

What happened after the
two of you left the bar?

We didn't want
the night to end.

Her car was
a no-go.

So we got
into mine.

We were all
over each other.

So her scarf must
have come off then.

And you saw her put
on a new scarf then?

I wasn't paying attention
to scarves at that point.

She said to head
over to her place.

So I was focusing
on driving.

Wait.

So how'd you end up
at the motel then?

She got a call.

Got upset.

She saw the motel and told
the caller to meet her there.

Told me to drop her
off and go home.

Okay.

You said that she
received a call?

You're sure she
didn't make the call?

Joey: I'm sure.

The only reason-

the night ended
when it did-

was because
of that call.

I wish she would have
ignored it like I said to.

It's the truth.

I swear.

Okay.

The problem is-

that our phone records
show Melissa making a call.

Not receiving one.

She called her friend-

to tell her she
was heading home.

I don't know anything
about phone records.

But Melissa
didn't make a call.

Didn't sound like a
friend on the other end.

Never heard so much
yelling in my life.

So, Vivian says that
Melissa called her.

But Joey swears that
the truth of the matter is-

Vivian called
Melissa that night.

Well an incoming
or outgoing call-

doesn't implicate
Joey either way, right?

He has no reason
to lie about it.

Yet the phone records
back up Vivian.

Wait a minute.

Unless they had
each other's phones.

Guys, that is
the only way-

that the phone records
corroborate Joey's story.

Vivian and Melissa must have
accidentally switched phones-

the night of
the wrap party.

Vivian takes it home.

Realizes it.

Calls Melissa.

Melissa answers Vivian's phone-

and suggests that they meet
up to switch phones back?

Yeah, but why not just
hang on to the phones-

till the next morning-

and switch
them at work?

Why meet
at the motel?

Joey said that
Vivian was angry.

Maybe it was urgent.

Well, Vivian
had her phone.

She must have realized that
Melissa was leaving the agency.

So, Melissa meets Vivian
in the middle of the night.

And turns up
dead the next day.

I was thinking of keeping
some of these here.

Can't hurt our image-

to show we're chummy
with man's best friend.

-What would
hurt your image?

A murder charge?

We have evidence that
Melissa received an angry call-

from you-

the night
that she died.

Evidence from who?

Some guy she picked up
at the bar that night?

-Uh-huh.

Along with the two cell phone
towers that we checked.

All right.

Yeah, I-

I accidentally picked up
her phone at the party.

Saw a few messages.

Found out what
she was up to.

Mel suggested we get
together and hash it out.

So we did.

I left her and
she was alive.

Who are you
going to believe?

Some stranger?

Or me?

Her best friend?

In this case, I'm going
to believe him.

You all tie your
knots differently.

Melissa- she would
tie it in a bow.

But the night
that she died-

the scarf was tied around
her neck in a Trinity knot-

just like yours.

Now why would
she let you do that-

in the middle
of the night-

after you'd had
an argument-?

[Rex barks]

unless maybe she was-

already dead when
the knot was tied?

Anyone can
tie a knot.

-Yeah.

But not everyone's DNA
is going to be on it.

Just the murderer's.

It was an accident.

We both had
been drinking.

Things just got
out of hand.

Out of hand how?

How?

Mel got mad at me
for taking her phone-

reading her messages.

Said I broke
her confidence.

She pushed me.

I pushed her back.

Everything happened so fast.

But I didn't plan
on hurting her.

Charlie: Vivian!

You took a
metal rod!

I was trying to keep her
from leaving so we could talk!

But she tripped
as I swung!

And I-

the rod!

I killed her!

Dalton: What?

Really?

You don't have to
do this, Charlie.

Rex earned this money.

-We insist.

Dalton: I can't tell you

Dalton: Thanks everybody.
