Hello?

[tense music]
♪

Huh. I must've left it open.

[tense music continues]
♪

[sighs with relief]

I wasn't sure if you were
going to show up.

I guess people in a jam
have a way of doing that.

I was really looking forward
to that egg roll.

[gun cocks]

What's that for?

[gunshots]

So, let's start with trust.

All right.

Trust.

People in crime fiction,
they don't trust each other.

But by contrast,
the mystery writer

creates a bond with the reader.

So there's a tension between
story and storyteller.

What?...

What?

Your look.

What look?

You think I'm gonna lose them.

No, I think you're doing great.

But you're frowning.

I'm not frowning,
I was thinking.

So your mind is wandering?

No.

But I was thinking about what
you were saying, and just...

I don't know, how it wasn't
at all what I would've said.

Oh boy.

No, no.

It's a good thing.

I think that they can benefit
from hearing

a different perspective.

Yeah?

Yeah, absolutely.

You're doing great.

Please, continue.

Okay.

Now, Interestingly,

the earliest definition
for the word trust,

was alliance.

So this one has
16 million views,

and it's a woman talking
about bees.

Yeah, I know.

I've seen this one before.

It's actually fascinating.

My point is, you doing a
Teachable Talk is a huge deal.

There're also talks
with 16 views.

That will not be you.

I mean, come on.

Who wouldn't love you?

Morning.

For instance...

For instance what?

Nothing.

Nothing.

Nothing, nothing?

All right, now this
I gotta investigate.

We were just talking about Amy
doing T Squared in Seattle.

T Squared?

Yeah.

Uh, Teachable Talks.

It's where speakers
talk about big ideas,

or new ways to look at things.

I am speaking on why people
are so obsessed with mysteries.

I was just saying that a lot
of people would be really

interested in hearing
about that.

For instance, you.

Gotcha.

You know, your dad actually
mentioned this to me.

But I thought it was Friday.

It is.

But Bishop wants me there
early to rehearse.

Bishop?

Uh, Tim Bishop.

He's the founder
of Teachable Talks.

[clears throat]
He's a little more than that.

Uh, usual, Travis?

Yes.

Thank you, Holly.

Huh.

Uh, so...

When do you take off?

Now, actually.

Bags are in the trunk.

Your dad's not going to go?

Yeah, he's coming.

Just somebody's working
on his house today,

so he's gonna drive
over tomorrow.

I never heard how you
got invited to this thing.

Tim.

Bishop.

Yeah. Tim Bishop.

Yeah, he's an old friend
of mine.

Uh, anyway.

You know what?

I should get going.

I don't want to get stuck
in traffic.

All right.

Well, uh, travel safe.

Yeah, you too.

You're... you're
not going anywhere.

[laughs awkwardly]
Just have a good day.

All right, um...

-Bye.
-Bye.

Bye, Holly.

Kill 'em, Amy.

Hey, tell Tim I say hi.

Yeah.

Hey, Holly.

Your phone.

Hey, let me ask you
a question.

Uh, so... you know this
Tim Bishop guy too?

Um, yes?

And what's his story?

Oh, he's a professor,
psychologist,

wrote a bunch of books.

Sort of a genius.

He's a genius, yeah?

Yeah.

But I mean so is Amy.

Right. Yeah, yeah.

And how do you, uh, how
do you know this genius?

Well, through Amy.

Through Amy?

Okay. Fine.

He's her ex-boyfriend.

Oh.

Yeah.

They were perfect
for each other.

Really?

Totally.

But obviously things
didn't work out.

Although I do think
he's still single.

And he's British too,
so I mean, that accent.

Hmm.

Thank you, Holly.

When I came up with the concept
of Teachable Talks,

I had no idea what
it would turn into,

or what it would take
out of me.

To quote a great writer,
"There's no trap so deadly

"as the trap you set
for yourself."

Raymond Chandler.

Right. You know it.

Ahh.

You gave me my first Chandler.

"The Long Goodbye".

I remember.

Mmhmm.

Took me weeks to realize

you were trying to tell me
we were over.

Oh, well.

I don't think I even knew
that myself at the time.

Well, remind me again.

Why did we break up?

Ah, well.

I think it was your extreme fear
of commitment.

Let's not forget your extreme
commitment to your work.

[laughs]

Okay, all right, fair enough.

[laughs]

So, tell me.

Is there anyone special
for you right now?

Oh, well... you know.

I mean, sort of.

Uh, nothing err, you know.

But, I mean, it's...

You have not changed
one bit.

Well, what about you?

Oh, uh, well, I'm, uh, the Chair
of the department now.

So there's that.

So you haven't changed either.

[laughs]

It's good to see you, Bishop.

It's been way too long,
Winslow.

[laughs]

No one has called me
that since...

Well, since you.

Well, well.

What?

[glass clinks]

People toasting.

Yeah.

What do they look like
to you?

Well, from reading
their body language,

I would say they were
a couple.

Hmm-mm.

I would definitely say that
this is not their first date.

Yeah.

And from reading you,
I'd say you know them.

That's Alexis McHale.

Head of PR for McHale Tech,
and their COO Billy Poole.

McHale Tech, as in who's
sponsoring this round

of Teachable Talks?

Right.

You'll meet Mitchell McHale.

Tech wizard.

Created this money lending app

that made him a bazillion
dollars.

I think he spent a zillion of it
on his electric car.

I joined their advisory board
last month.

He's, uh, underwriting this
round so he can do his own tour,

promoting this new software
called "Slooth".

As in, detective?

Mmm.

A virtual one.

S-L-O-O-T-H.

It's an acronym, it stands
for something complicated,

like Sequential Logarithmic
something something.

Anyway, Mitchell's shopping
into police departments.

A computer that solves crime?

I don't know, I'm not sure
you can reduce deduction

down to a bunch of zeroes
and ones.

Like, for instance, I don't
think that a computer

would be able to infer,
from what you've shared,

that Alexis isn't
McHale's sister,

she's his wife, right?

And Billy Poole's
not just his COO.

Who is he?

He's his best friend.

[inhales sharply]
Ooh, ouch.

[sighs]

Are you cold?

No, no. I'm fine.

[laughs]

Thank you for dinner, though.

My pleasure.

Well...

Hey, can I interest you

in a slice of the best pie
in Seattle?

Uh...

You know, I really should
review my talk.

I did mention it's the best pie
in Seattle, right?

[laughs]

Yeah.

Oh.

Goodnight, Bishop.

See you tomorrow, Winslow.

Yeah.

Bye.

So, why do we call misdirections
"red herrings?"

Well, the first instance
of the term

dates all the way back to...
15... something.

15... Ugh.

1567, when Elizabethan writer
Thomas Nash published a...

[sighs]

This is awful.

[sighs heavily]

Mmm.

Who's distracted now, huh?

[phone rings]

Oh.

Hey, honey.

Hey Dad.

How's Seattle?

Good.

Yeah, Seattle is good.

How's Garrison?

[laughs]

It's... It's... It's fine.

Great.

Honey, is there, uh,

is there something you want
to talk to me about?

No.

No, no.

I'm just here, uh, rehearsing
for my talk, and uh...

I did go out
to dinner tonight.

[clears throat]

With Tim Bishop.

Dinner as, uh, with all
the, uh, all the speakers?

Nope, no, it was just, uh,
just me and him.

Uh-huh.

How'd that go?

It was nice,
surprisingly enough.

Oh.

Good. That's, that's good.

[sighs]

You know what Dad, um, I'm
just going to get back to it,

uh, and I will, uh,
see you tomorrow?

Yeah, you will.

Okay.

All right, bye.

Bye.

[sighs]

[groans]

(Holly) You off to Seattle?

Not without my Joe to go.

Did you hear from Amy?

Yeah.

She had dinner last night
with Tim Bishop.

As in, just the two of
them dinner?

Um. Hmm.

Well, that's very interesting.

-Yeah.
-What is?

Hey.

Hi.

Hey, I thought you were headed
to Seattle.

Yeah, this is my last stop.

I was up late last night

and I needed a little
energy assistance.

So what's "very interesting?"

Mm.

[gulps]
Nothing.

Yeah, nothing really.

No.

Guys?...

Am I going to have to take you
down to the interrogation room?

Um. Okay, okay, look.

Um, Amy called last night,
and, uh,

uh, she had dinner
with this, um, this fella.

Tim Bishop.

Yeah. I heard about
this genius yesterday.

Genius. Amy said that?

No, no. Somebody else.

Thanks, Holly.

Sure. Take care, guys.

I think genius is a reach.

So you're not a fan?

[laughs]

No. No.

No, I mean, look, let me
just say that I wasn't exactly

heartbroken when he and Amy
split up, but...

he's a very
self-involved guy.

He's... he's charming though,
he's charming.

Yeah.

But I mean, you know she's...

she's grown up, and I should
stop worrying, right?

Yeah. Yeah.

Yeah.

All right.

Well, uh, okay then.

Yeah.

I'll see you when you
get back.

Okay. All right.

All right.

I... I can drive.

What?

Yeah.

You can drive to Seattle?

I mean, you just said yourself,
you barely slept.

It's not safe.

I don't have any active cases
right now,

I can... I could drive.

Huh.

Nah. Yeah, you're right.

It's a crazy idea.

All right.

I'll see you when
you get back then.

No, no, no. Hang on, wait
a minute, wait a minute.

I'd love for you to come.

You know?

Yeah, you could, uh, you could
stay and see Amy's talk.

Yeah?

I mean if you... if you've got
a couple of days.

Do I? Hey, I've got
vacation time.

If I don't use it,
I lose it.

Great. Great.

Got one question for you,
though.

What's that?

You, uh, you got a tux?

Heh.

And once upon a time, a
red herring was just a fish.

It was the creator
of Sherlock Holmes,

Sir Arthur Conan Doyle...

Clicker!

What?

[makes clicking noise]

Should be on the next slide.

Oh.

Sorry.

I'm used to a chalkboard.

I remember.

Tim Bishop.

Mitchell McHale.

I've got the film.

The film?

On S.L.O.O.T.H.

And I'll want to see it
projected, cool?

Um...

Uh, Mitchell, this is
Professor Amy Winslow.

She's one of our speakers.

Yeah, hi.

Nice fish.

So hey, can I get this
thing projected

so we can check video
and audio quality?

Uh, I'm sorry.

I'm just rehearsing.

I'm kind of rehearsing here.

This will only take
three minutes,

and believe me,
it'll be worth it.

I'm Billy Poole,
I'm the COO of McHale.

Hi, Amy Winslow.

Alexis McHale.

I run our marketing department.

She's also my wife, and
he's also my best friend,

in case you're wondering
how they got their jobs.

Okay, let's roll this thing.

I'm so sorry.

And can we kill the lights?

(Female Voice) Crime.

It's everywhere.

And no matter how much
we fight it,

it seems like it will never
go away.

What if we could harness
the power of computers

to help solve crimes faster?

What if we could use technology

to help eliminate
crime altogether?

What if we could make our cities
and towns safe once again?

McHale Tech is proud to announce
a software-based solution

to one of society's
oldest problems.

A revolution in fighting crime.

Introducing S.L.O.O.T.H
from McHale Tech.

Sequential Logarithmic Objective
Output and Telemetric Housing.

It's a fancy name that means
one simple thing.

Crime stopper.

Killer.

I'm going to want
a pin spot on me.

Right here.

And fog would be nice.

Can we do fog?

We can do fog.

Perfect.

So, thoughts on the film?

Fantastic.

Incredible.

Yeah, powerful.

What about you, professor?

Honestly, frightening.

Boom.

There we go.

Love it.

Billy.

Grab the drive back
from the tech guy.

I don't want him stealing it.

Tim.

Side bar.

Um.

Uh... Amy, take five?

Sure.

[laughs weakly]

Wow.

Easy, honey. Easy.

Billy, he knows.

What if he does, soon enough
it won't matter.

[loud gasp]

[whispering]
Bishop, don't do that!

Sorry.

Where'd they go?

Who?

Billy and Alexis.

They were just right here,
practically lip-locked.

You remember that dinner
we spied on last night?

Mmhmm.

Well, I can tell you they
are definitely not

just a couple of coworkers.

Come on.

Oh.

Well, they're gone.

Again, sorry, I startled you.

You didn't startle me.

Uh, you got a little bit scared,
just a little.

No.

-Tim.
-Vicky, hey.

This is Amy Winslow.

Uh, Vicky Lin.

Hi.

I recognize you from
the brochure.

I'm coming to your talk.

I'm a bit of a crime
fiction nut.

I've read every Atticus Keller
book, a couple of times.

Well, I'll have to tell
my father.

Are you doing a talk as well?

Oh, no, no.

I couldn't handle the pressure.

Vicky handles pressure daily.

She runs the biggest
venture capital firm in town.

Wow.

You just missed Mitchell.

Oh.

You know Mitchell McHale?

I've certainly...
experienced him.

Oh.

[laughs]

Well, that's a good word
for it.

Vicky's interested in
S.L.O.O.T.H as an investment.

Possibly.

Do you know about this
S.L.O.O.T.H?

I saw the promotional film
for it, yeah.

And?

I mean, I have to be honest,
I'm no computer expert.

But I do know that being
a detective

is all about interpreting
complex human behaviours.

I don't know, I just feel like
the smartest machine

will never be human.

Well-reasoned.

I'm looking even more forward
to your talk.

Take care.

Nice to meet you.

You too.

Well.

Should we get back
to rehearsing?

Yes, we should.

♪

[elevator dings]

Do you have a time machine?

Because you look like you did
when I first met you.

I don't know about that.

I don't think I was wearing this

American lit class, was I?

[laughs]

Shall we?

Yeah. Sure.

-Dad?
-Hey

Travis!

What are you doing here?...

Uh... Surprise.

Uh, your dad...

I was... I was up late
last night writing,

and, uh, he offered to be
my chauffeur.

Yeah.

Oh.

Hi, Graham.

Tim.

Tim Bishop.

Tim founded Teachable Talks.

Oh, hey.

Travis Burke, uh,
I'm Graham's chauffeur.

Well, he's also a detective at
the Garrison Police Department.

Cool.

Mitchell McHale will want
to talk to you

about his crime solving software

that he says will put you
out of a job.

Is that so?

Am I... do I... do I... am
I supposed to know who
Mitchell McHale is?

No.

Let me put you on the guest-list
for the party.

I'll get us checked in.

Yeah, all right.

Uh...

You look beautiful.

Thank you.

This is a big surprise.

Yeah, for me too.

Ugh.

I guess you can tell that my
dad's not really fond of Tim.

Yeah.

I can't imagine why.

Okay.

All set.

Speak of the devil,
that's Mitchell now.

Mitchell, where's Alexis?

No idea.

Hey.

Mitchell McHale.

Ah, so you're the guy
who's going to put me

out of a job, huh?

Uh, Trevor's a policeman.

Travis. Travis Burke.

Right.

Sorry.

I should be closing
a deal tonight

with Seattle Metro PD to license
the S.L.O.O.T.H software.

Coming to my party?

Yeah, yeah, sure.

I wouldn't miss that.

We should, uh...

Yeah, yeah.

See you at the party.

Bye, Amy.

-Bye.
-Yeah, good to meet you, too.

So...

Read on Tim?

I don't like him.

Well, that's comforting.

Hey, uh... Graham?

Yeah?

They're not wearing tuxes.

Too bad for them.

Here you go, Winslow.

Thank you.

Look at that.

You think Mitchell knows about
Billy and Alexis?

Mmhmm.

Think Vicky told them?

No, I think he already knew.

Please...

I think the Vicky thing
is totally different.

Having fun, Mitchell?

I look like I'm having fun?

I need some air.

I'll walk you.

I want to bend your ear
about something.

See you in a bit.

Yeah.

Let's get out of here.

So, my father, Graham Winslow,
he actually created the class,

uh, but now I teach,
um, mys...

Uh, would you excuse me
just for one second?

Thank you.

Ah, there she is.

Dapper!

You look lovely too.

You look great.

Thanks.

Well, this is quite an event
that Tim's put together.

Yeah. Yeah, he has.

My ears are burning.

Just saying how impressive
this all is.

Thanks, Graham.

Though not as impressive
as your attire, I must say.

Tim Bishop?

That's me.

Hi. Rachel.

Knox!

Wha?

Burke?

What?

[laughs]

What are you doing here?

All right, uh, Amy Winslow,
this is her dad, Graham.

Amy's giving a talk...

Rachel Knox.

Rachel and I were in the academy
together in Chicago.

We were both rookies
until she became a detective

a whole year before me.

What are you doing here?

Um...

Unfortunately, business.

I need to speak to you
and anyone here

Is everything all right?

Mitchell McHale is dead.

[police radio chatter]

Alexis, I... I know you're
in a bit of shock right now,

but I need you to try
and remember

when you last saw him.

Woah. Woah, okay, woah, okay!
A little help here!

It's okay. It's okay.
It's okay.

Here, take her over there...

Knox. Hey.

Hey.

So, did he jump?

Or was he pushed?

Not sure yet.

Any witnesses?

We're canvassing, but
it's not residential,

so I'm less than optimistic.

Oh.

Who...

Prep cook taking out
the trash found him.

Anyway, I better...
get back to it.

Alright. See ya.

Huh, that's weird.

I mean, I just met McHale today,
but...

He didn't strike me
as the suicidal type.

Based on first impressions,
I agree.

And then his wife fainting?

Yeah, that's pretty typical.

Or it's a good way to avoid
talking to a detective.

I think that she's having
an affair

with the guy in
the burgundy suit.

And he is?

That's Billy Poole,
COO of McHale Tech,

and Mitchell's so-called
best friend.

How do you know they're having
an affair?

Body language.

And I also overheard them
talking about how

"he" knew something, and I think
the "he" is McHale,

and the something
is the affair.

Well, I think we need to tell
that to Knox.

Who else knows about this?

Other than Tim Bishop,
uh, just Travis and my dad.

Yeah.

Did Tim not tell you
about it?

Miss Winslow, I...

Oh, you can call me Amy.

Amy.

As much as I appreciate
what you've shared with me,

I... I do hope that
you can appreciate

this is a police investigation?

Oh, yeah.

Completely.

Yeah. I just...

Rachel, Amy's a professor.

She's been a consultant for
the Garrison PD in the past.

Oh, like Sherlock?

Yes. Exactly.

Well, we don't do that here.

Take care.

Good to see you, Burke.

Yeah, yeah, you too, Knox.

Well, I guess we're not
in Garrison anymore, Dorothy.

What?

You know, it's pretty obvious
to me that Rachel trusts you.

Maybe you should tell her
she should trust me.

Thank you.

-Hi.
-Hi.

How you doing?

Well, I think I might've slept
for 90 minutes.

Oh.

I don't mean to sound callous,

but desperately trying to
convince speakers not to bail,

and dealing with people
cancelling tickets.

Yeah.

Ugh.

Bishop, I am so sorry.

Well.

I mean, at least I'm alive.

Yeah.

This is so insane.

Did you get any information
from the police?

No.

I mean, they just
asked questions.

I did all the talking.

Did you tell them about
Billy and Alexis?

I didn't want to gossip.

Bishop, a man is dead.

Social propriety goes out
the window at this point.

Of course, no, you're right.

Yeah.

Hey. Amy.

Trevor.

Yeah, it's Travis.

I'm sorry.

Don't know why I do that.

I have a few theories.

[phone rings]

Sorry, I have to take this.

One of our speakers.

Yeah.

Bye.

Hey.

I want to talk to you
about last night and Rachel.

Oh, no, no, no.

I want to apologize.

I shouldn't have snapped
at you.

Well, apology accepted.

I just want you to know
that Rachel,

she's a good cop.

Okay.

Well, because you're a good cop,

and you haven't minded me
being helpful.

Fair point.

Mmm.

Yeah.

Um, by the way.

Did you and Rachel, uh...

Were you... Uh...

Were we?

Do you want to finish
your sentence?

No, it's just that...

It felt like there was history
with you two.

Like more than just being
cop buddies.

Well yeah, I mean,
Amy we were partners.

At work?

Yeah.

Oh.

And no.

And yeah.

I mean, listen.

Rachel and I might've had
a chance to be more,

you know, but the timing
never worked out, so...

I get it, yeah.

Do you want to take a walk
with me?

You seem to have somewhere
in mind.

I definitely do.

The roof.

So, there's no security cameras
in the stairwell.

Mm.

So even if McHale got off
where we did,

another person could've come
from the bottom floor

and walked all
the way up unseen?

Yeah.

Police tape.

You are a policeman.

In a different jurisdiction.

Uh, does it say Seattle Metro
PD line here?

Huh.

No?

Professor Winslow,
that is a good point.

Right.

Go ahead.

What do you see?

That's a fall, huh?

[whistles]

Yeah. That's a long way down.

So he was about your height,
so just a push...

Yeah. A hard push could knock
somebody right over.

Yeah.

Or, he jumped.

Yeah, I don't know.

A millionaire who paid
for this round of talks

just to launch his new software?

-Hmm.
-Seems unlikely.

Yeah.

Hey look.

So you remember Rachel said
that the prep cook

was taking out the trash
when he found the body?

Mmhmm.

Well look at the way
he's going.

I mean, how would he have seen
the body from that angle?

That's a good question.

Do you think that's
the same guy?

Let's find out.

Is that our guy?

Yeah, I think so.

Hi.

Uh... I'm Amy Winslow, and this
is Detective Travis Burke.

Hi.

Guillermo Marquez.

Hi, Guillermo.

Uh, hi.

Do you know what happened
here last night?

Are you the one that found
the body?

Yeah.

Are you a cop too?

Uh, well, I'm a consultant.

Right. Yeah.

But he's a detective.
He has a badge, see?

-Yeah. See?
-Right there.

I talked to the cops last night.

We're just following up
to clarify how it is

that you noticed the body on
the far side of the dumpster?

The phone.

(Both) What phone?

I heard a cell phone ringing,
went to it.

Was his phone on his person?

Twenty feet away, maybe.

But then, then I saw him.

Right, yeah.

Must've been hard for you.

Did you happen to notice

a readout on the screen
of the phone? A name?

Sorry.

Do you know what time it was?

Around 8:15, I think.

What did you do next?

I freaked out.

I came in, went to my boss.

He locked the kitchen down,
called 911.

Yeah.

Yeah.

Thank you, Guillermo.

Thanks.

Okay. So you arrived
with my dad at 7:45.

Mmhmm.

That's when I met your pal,
Bishop.

You also met McHale.

And then we left for the party
at 7:50.

That sounds right.

All right, now I hadn't been
at the party very long

when I saw Vicky and McHale
have this heated conversation.

And then he goes
over to Billy and Alexis,

and says something.

And then he walks our way.

Our way?

No.

Me and Tim.

Oh.

And did he say anything
to you?

Uh, no.

Just that he wanted
to get some air.

Maybe to the roof.

Maybe.

Tim went with him.

What?!

Amy.

What?

And you're just now
telling me this?

There's nothing to tell.

I mean, it's...

Bishop, right. And when did
Bishop return to the party?

Well, I mean,
I didn't see him

until after you
and my dad arrived.

I'm sure that he was...

You know.

What are you doing?

I went up to my room.

I took a quick shower.

I changed.

I got on the phone at 8:14,
I talked to Claire,

I checked in with her
at exactly five minutes,

your dad knocks on my door,
we come back downstairs,

so we're back at the party
at what?

8:25.

All right.

Did you happen to see
Vicky, Alexis, or Billy

after McHale left?

No. But I was
definitely looking.

Okay. While you were
looking for them,

did you happen to see
your friend, Tim Bishop?

Hey, guys.

Hey.

What's up?

We're just talking about
how her friend, Tim Bishop,

could be a murder suspect.

Well, it strikes me
that all four people,

Vicky, Tim, Alexis, Billy, all
four of 'em should be talked to.

But isn't that what
your detective friend

was doing last night?

Absolutely.

Mmhmm.

What?

So... Do you not trust her?

Well, that's a good question.

I mean, should we trust her?

I trust her more than
I trust your friend, Bishop.

[laughs]
Ah, come on.
Are you serious?

I mean, what motive
would Tim have to kill a guy

who's backing his event?

That is a great question that
we should talk to him about.

Well, why don't we
get Rachel involved,

since we all trust her
so much?

Why are you afraid of me
talking to your friend

and asking him some questions?

I'm not afraid of you talking
to my friend.

-You're not afraid?
-No.

Good, great, call him up.
Let's ask him right now.

Fine. Fine.

Mmhmm.

Fine.

I just want you to know
that he's probably not
going to answer,

because, you know, he's busy

doing damage control
and all that...

Hello?

Hey.

Amy.

Yeah.

I just need to talk to you.

Sure. Sure.

I'll be right up.

Okay, thanks. Bye.

Not too busy for Amy.
Shall we?

I would love to.
Get this over with.

Excuse me.

Yeah, of course. Yeah.
Yeah, oh...

[knocking at door]

Hey, Amy.

Hey.

Hey, it's me.

Trevor.

Hi, Travis.

There it is.

Tim, Travis and I were
just talking about

last night, and...

You left the party last night
with McHale.

Where did you go?

Hang on.

Excuse me.

Would you mind just giving
us a moment?

Thank you.

Sorry folks.

Thank you so much.

Um... Amy?

You think I had something
to do with Mitchell's...

with what happened?

No, Tim, listen.

We're just trying to get...
the complete picture, you know.

Of the whole night.
Everything that happened.

That's all.

Okay, sure.

Of course.

Well, as I told your friend,
the Seattle detective.

I walked Mitchell
to the elevator,

he asked me not to take it
with him.

All right.

And then what happened next?

I turned around and Vicky was
walking toward the elevators.

Vicky Lin?

Mm.

She was clearly upset,
but she didn't want to talk.

I got on the elevator
with her anyway.

I pressed.

She told me she'd gotten
her hands on

the beta version
of S.L.O.O.T.H.

Had her R&D people
work it over.

And?

She told me it was...

A hoax.

Couldn't do what Mitchell
said it did.

Solve crimes.

So is this the last time
that she and Mitchell spoke

before he left?

So she said.

How long did you talk to her?

We got off on her floor,

I walked her to her room,
so however long that took.

And then what happened next?

I'm on the board of McHale Tech.

I wanted to talk to Mitchell
about this very concerning news.

I called him.

From Vicky's phone?

No.

The hallway.

He didn't answer.

I went to the suite down
the hall that

we have for McHale Tech,

I thought that's
where he might be.

He wasn't.

I waited a while
for him to show up,

then I went back
to the party.

Hmm.

End of story.

Now, I have to get back
to work.

Thanks Tim.

Um, Tim, listen. I...

Excuse me.

I feel horrible.

Oh, come on, Amy.
You know how it goes.

We asked questions,
he answered 'em.

Plus, he still doesn't
have a good alibi.

But. We did learn that McHale
was in a lot more trouble

than you projected.

Yeah.

Right.

And if news were to get out
that his software was a sham?

Maybe he wasn't pushed.

Right.

Right.

And we have a new question.

Who leaked that software
to Vicky?

Okay. So who did McHale talk to
after Vicky?

Billy and Alexis.

Billy and Alexis.

I'm going to see if Claire
can get their addresses.

[crunches apple]

(Amy) Tim said Mitchell had
a pricey new electric car...

Huh, look what's
parked out front.

Well, that's interesting.

Either Billy borrowed
McHale's car or Alexis is here.

[doorbell]

Hey, Billy.

Sorry for your loss.

Um, thanks.

Um, I'm in the middle of some...

Just wanted to chat
with you for a minute.

Um...

With... with you
and, uh, Alexis?

Yeah, we just want to clear up
a few things

about the S.L.O.O.T.H software,
then you two can... move on.

It's okay, Billy.

Thank you.

So, it's come to our attention
that the software

that was supposed to put me out
of business might actually

put McHale Tech out of business,
because it's a sham.

Who told you that?

Is it the truth?

S.L.O.O.T.H is
being beta-tested.

As with any new application,
there are bugs to be worked out.

Yeah, see?

That's not what
Vicky Lin says.

See, she confronted
Mitchell last night.

And then Mitchell confronted
the two of you.

No.

Don't deny it, I saw it.

He thought that you two leaked
the software.

This is ridiculous.

Why would we leak software?

That would hurt McHale Tech.

It's our company too.

How much do you care about
your company then?

I mean, because I saw
the two of you out to dinner

the other night, and then there
was backstage.

You're in love,
and Mitchell knew.

I...

We, we should...

Billy. Why don't you answer
her question?

Where did you go after Mitchell
confronted you?

I told the police last night.

Tell me.

[doorbell]

Excuse me.

Hi, Billy.

Hey.

Your colleagues are here.

Burke?

I'm calling my lawyer.

Detective.

A word.

Bring your "partner."

Me?

So, I'm bringing this guy in
for questioning,

and now he's a hostile witness?

What did you say to him
that he's lawyering up...

Knox.

No. Don't "Knox" me.

What did you say?

Detective, this was my idea.

It's Lieutenant.

And, is that supposed
to make me feel better?

Look, I am running a murder
investigation here.

And yes, that is
what we are calling it.

No note, no motive
for suicide.

Well, except that...

Except what?

Well, except that
McHale's software

isn't exactly what
he said it was.

So that could be a huge blow
to his...

Do you mean the software

that my police department
is considering licensing?

Or maybe you didn't know that.

No, we knew that.

Just like you didn't know
that the phone was missing

from the scene?

The phone that Guillermo
heard ringing?

You spoke to the witness, too?

Okay.

Listen up, Sherlock.

You too, Doctor Watson.

You have no jurisdiction here,

and you need to leave it
to the people that do.

Hey, Rachel.

No, we are done.

[sighs]

You know what, I
just have to say this.

I am sorry that I pushed you.

Amy, I knew what I was doing,
and I did it.

You know how in the past,

when I told you to mind your own
business, let me do my job?

Mmhmm.

Well, now I know why
you didn't like it.

I'm sorry.

Thank you.

So, what now?

Well, now we do
what we should've done

after we talked to Tim.

We go and we talk
to Vicky Lin,

we confirm his story with her.

Mmhmm.

That is, if she'll talk to us.

I think I have a way to make
that happen.

Hmm.

Vicky, I hear that you're fond
of Atticus Keller, so a...

a first edition.

Happy to sign it.

[laughs]

Seriously?

Yeah.

-You got a pen?
-Oh, here.

Great.

So, what is the quid that goes
along with this pro quo?

Well, honestly, we were just
hoping we could ask you

some questions about last night.

Huh.

So awful.

Yeah.

Before McHale left the party,

you two had an exchange
that looked a bit heated.

What was that about?

I told him I was backing away
from S.L.O.O.T.H.

Because?

It's... well, according
to my R&D team,

it's trash.

And what did you do
after this exchange?

I had a room booked at
the hotel.,

and I went there
to make some calls.

Do you think it's possible that
Mitchell McHale killed himself

because of the software
situation?

You obviously didn't know
Mitch McHale.

He told me he was getting
a new lawyer,

and that he'd have that lawyer
sue me for theft of software.

Hmm.

What happened
to the old lawyer?

No idea.

Can you think of anybody else
who'd want to kill Mitch McHale?

Mitch McHale was
a cockroach.

Who doesn't want to step
on one of those?

That's a great line.

Do you mind if I, uh, you mind
if I use that?

I'd be honoured.

Hmm, well, thanks
for doing that, Dad.

Oh, honey, thanks
for including me.

I'm not sure how
helpful that was.

No, no.

Sometimes it's good to just
confirm existing information.

Right.

Though I do think you did learn
something new.

Yeah, that McHale was getting
a new lawyer.

Exactly.

And for someone who thinks
all day about word choice,

that struck me as odd.

I mean, why even bring that up
to Vicky?

Yeah, that's a good question.

You know, there are two people
that we could get an answer

to that from.

Rachel and Tim?

Yeah.

Yeah.

Hmm, yeah.

I don't think they really want
to talk to us.

Well, we lead
with an apology.

Might I suggest if you want
to get the most out of them,

you go to Rachel,
you go to Tim.

Good idea.

Yeah.

You're on a roll, Graham.

Yeah, thanks, thanks.

Good luck, guys.

Hey, where you goin'?

I'm going back to the hotel

to hear a Teachable Talk called
"What makes a psychopath."

It's, uh, research
for my next book.

Okay, all right, bye.

Bye.

[knocking at door]

Mea culpa.

[knocking at door]

I wanted to apologize.

You're forgiven.

No worries.

Please.

[sighs]

I mean, it's just weird, being
this close to a crime with you,

and not being included.

I didn't tell you this,
but I've been helping Travis

and the Garrison PD
on a few cases.

Believe it or not, Amy has
helped me out with a few cases.

Wow.

Really?

What kind of cases?

Murders.

Homicides.

Oh.

That's something.

So, when this suspicious
death happened...

She just wants to help.

Which she did,
by coming to me.

Billy Poole is now suspect
number one.

To be honest with you,

Travis has had to protect me
in a couple of bad situations.

So... I'm sure that impulse
of his just kicked in.

Sure.

I get it.

And I think that she was
pushing with you,

because that's what she's used
to doing with me.

And that doesn't bother you?

Oh, it does.

Believe me.

You guys definitely seem to have
a... strong connection.

That's not always the case.

I mean, I swear I spend
90 percent of my time

just trying to get him
to listen to me.

For instance, he didn't
believe you about Vicky,

so he insisted
we go talk to her.

She can be relentless.

For example, she wanted us
to talk to Vicky Lin

about the S.L.O.O.T.H software.

Seriously?

You're kidding.

No, I'm not.

Seriously.

Well, I'm sure Vicky confirmed
what I said.

She did.

And the reason I wanted
to talk to you

is because Vicky did say that
McHale threatened to sue her.

But he told her he had
a new lawyer.

And I asked her what happened
to the old lawyer.

And... she didn't know.

Well, his old lawyer
is Ray Sweeney.

Ray Sweeney is known for
defending very rich dirtbags.

Do you know this Ray Sweeney?

Not well, but...
Yeah, I knew him.

Knew as in past-tense?

Ray Sweeney's home was broken
into a few days ago.

And I guess he was home
at the time.

The thief shot him.

Ray Sweeney is dead.

Oh.

Remember what
Miss Marple said?

No, I haven't read
Agatha Christie yet.

Remind me.

Well, she said "any coincidence
is worth noticing,

"because you can throw
it away later if it's
only a coincidence."

Yeah, well, it's a pretty
big coincidence.

Sweeney and McHale
being murdered

within days of each other?

So much so that I asked Rachel
if we could see

the Sweeney crime
scene tomorrow.

We?

As in you and also me?

Yeah.

I laid it on pretty thick,

how you've been helpful
at Garrison PD.

What are you talking about?

I have been helpful
to the Garrison PD.

I know.

So you weren't laying it
on thick.

Amy, that's not the point.

The point is, Rachel trusted me,

and tomorrow the detective
who's working the case

is going to show us
the crime scene,

and he's going to give us access
to the reports.

Hmm. Well.

Good job.

Thanks.

Thank you. Yeah.

Woah, woah, woah,
woah, woah, woah.

What else did she say?

Just that Billy Poole is suspect
number one,

and she extends her gratitude
to you

for tipping her off
about the affair.

Good.

How about Tim?

Did he forgive you
for my trespasses?

Yes.

And I'm assuming that Rachel
is not holding you accountable

for me anymore?

Un-huh.

The lesson there, it helps to
have somebody else to blame.

I guess we're each
other's fall guys.

[laughs]

Hey, did you press Tim on
his shaky alibi for last night?

I could not find
a delicate way in, so...

-I guess he's still up on
the board.
-He's on the board.

Yeah.

Rumour has it...

There is a fantastic
Vietnamese restaurant

just right up the block.

Would you... would you like
to go to dinner with me?

I have to rehearse my talk.

I was just going to order
some room service.

Of course.

Goodnight, Professor Winslow.

Goodnight, Detective Burke.

[laughs]

See you tomorrow.

Hey, uh.

You know what, Travis?

I mean, I... I could go.

No, 'cause I don't want
to be responsible if you,

uh, mess up your talk.

Okay.

Goodnight, Amy.

Goodnight.

See you tomorrow.

Bye.

Well, I mean she definitely
said 9:30.

Yeah.

Aw.

Hmm?

Who's that?

That's her dad.

That's Rudy.

Now Rudy made the best

What's paczki?

Ho, ho, ho.
What's paczki?

Amy Winslow, it's
a Polish doughnut.

Ohh.

So money was always an issue,

and then finally he was able
to open his own shop.

And then he lost it.

And then she lost him.

Sadly, he passed away.

Oh.

When did he pass?

I heard about six months ago.

-Hey.
-Hey.

Sorry we're late.

I got caught up in
a morning briefing.

No worries.

Hi.

Detective Denny Roma, this
is Detective Travis Burke,

and this is, uh...

Non-detective Amy Winslow.

Yeah.

Denny's going to show you
the Sweeney scene.

It's his case.

Which is getting colder
by the day,

which the Lieutenant knows
is something I can live with.

Why?

Ray Sweeney was a defence
attorney.

He got a lot of bad guys off
and made some cops

on the witness stand
look lousy in the process.

The Lucky Irishman is what he's
known as in the DA's office.

Yeah.

So Denny, you good
to run with them?

You know it, Lieutenant.

Hey, and if you do find a
connection to the McHale case...

We'll bring it to you.

Bye.

Thanks, Rachel.

♪

-Hey.
-Hey.

-Thanks.
-You're welcome

So, you, uh, you knew
the Lieutenant

back in the Windy City, huh?

Yeah, we were rookies together.

She's a tough woman.

You know that thing
with her old man...

You mean what, him dyin'?

Yeah.

You know, how he went out.

Did it himself.

Suicide?

I didn't... I didn't know that.

Yeah, she was thinking about
resigning, too.

Going back to Chicago.

I guess he was in some
kind of trouble.

And then he wasn't.

Here's your guidebook
for the tour.

Did the killer disable
the alarm?

We think Sweeney did.

Comes home, shuts it off,
doesn't turn it back on.

What about the, uh, the camera
at the front door?

Did that see anything?

Just Sweeney coming home.

Who found the body?

Cleaning lady,
Monday afternoon.

This way.

Sliding door was left open, and
the perp came in through there.

What's behind this?

Dirt road?

Woods?

What if the killer came
through here?

Well, you know.

What if?

Or maybe he parked out front
and came around like we did.

♪

Did you check this out?

Yeah, it's padlocked.

Sweeney didn't have
a key for it.

It's not on his
property anyway.

There's an oil stain here.

It's pretty fresh.

Still wet.

Your perp parked
back here.

Noted.

Can we continue?

Now this is where we found
the body.

I see that there are a lot
of papers spread out,

which means he was working,
right?

But here's what I don't
understand,

it's why would a thief come
in when the resident is home?

Well, the lights were off
when we came in.

So he was working
in the dark?

Something's not making
sense to me, Denny.

Why... why would the killer come
to this angle,

where Sweeney could see them?

It's obvious the shooter
had a solution

for being identified.

"Bang bang."

They also took his wristwatch,
his wallet, and his cell phone.

Yeah.

And your report says,
"computer and a safe"?

Yeah.

This way.

Hmm.

Well, here it is.

Maid said there was a small safe
in that closet.

The police turned this place
upside down?

No, that was the perp.

Unless of course Sweeney's
a slob.

Travis.

What's that?

What is it?

(Both) Nothing.

It's just... Multnomah Falls.

I was just telling Amy how much
I'd like to visit there one day.

Oh.

Sweet.

Are we done?

Yeah.

Yeah.

Thank you for the tour, Denny.

Hey, do you mind if I hold onto
this and read through it again?

Lieutenant said give you
what you need.

Thanks. I'll give it back soon.

Yeah.

And hey, maybe you guys, uh,
will find something

that will break this case
wide open, huh?

Good to meet you both.

Nice to meet you.

Good to meet you.

him about Vicky

because you want
to interview her?

Yeah, that and...

And?...

You don't trust him.

Bingo.

Yeah.

[music heightens]
♪

Excuse me.

You can't just...

What is going on?

Ray Sweeney.

[sighs]

It's all right, Madeline.

Go on.

You told us that McHale hired
a new lawyer to sue you,

but did you think to mention
that his old lawyer

was a guy that you clearly knew
well enough

that he had a framed photograph
of the two of you

standing in front
of Multnomah Falls?

A guy who was murdered
two days before McHale?

I had no idea.

Ray had been working with Mitch.

Okay, and we're just supposed
to believe that?

It's the truth.

What was your relationship
with Ray?

We dated for a couple of months,
but it ended.

When?

Four months ago.

Who ended it?

I did.

Because?

Because he'd become intolerable.

Okay, could you fill us
in on that?

Ray was... incredibly
successful.

He bragged all the time about
how he never lost a case.

And then he did.

And suddenly, he couldn't stop
losing them.

He became miserable.

I stuck it out for a few months,

but eventually enough
was enough.

Hmm. Have you seen him since?

No.

But he did call Saturday.

Said he had turned
things around,

he was going to start
winning again.

Did he explain further?

No.

And to be honest,

I didn't believe him,
and I'd moved on.

Did you know he was dead?

Botched robbery, yes?

So we're told.

Thank you.

Thanks for your time.

Sorry to barge in on you,
Vicky.

She had an answer
for everything, didn't she?

Well, smart criminals do,
and she's certainly smart.

Yeah, but the question is,
is she a criminal?

Although, she didn't seem that
broken up about Ray's murder.

Yeah.

You know, we should take this
to Rachel.

Yeah, yeah. Of course.

But you know, just,
I don't know,

just let me do the talking.

That would be wise.

And we thought this is just
one more thing

that's tying the McHale case
to Ray Sweeney.

Yeah.

You know and we thought
that you should definitely

keep digging
into that connection.

Like Detective Roma said,
Sweeney was known as

the Lucky Irishman because
cases always broke his way.

A witness would recant,
evidence would get compromised,

paperwork invalidated.

So some people, me, started to
wonder if this wasn't just luck.

As if he had help
from the inside.

Did you look into it?

I did.

And?

And before I found anything,
Sweeney started to lose.

This was six months ago.

Right.

So I thought maybe
he was just lucky.

Until he wasn't.

Right.

Right.

Well.

Hey, did you look over
the crime scene report

for the robbery-homicide
of Sweeney?

Um... I haven't really had
the chance.

Why?

Well, look. It's pretty clear
that the intruder entered

while Sweeney was working,

which would mean
that the lights were on.

Right, and then the person had
to go around the couch

to be seen by Sweeney,
just to shoot him?

I mean, if this was
just a thief,

why go through all that?

Why not just come back?

I mean, that doesn't...
doesn't make any sense.

And then they ransacked
the office,

and we don't really know what
paperwork might've been taken.

But what was stolen, other than
a watch and a wallet,

was his cell phone,
his computer, and his safe.

All things that contain
information.

So you think this is some kind
of a hit?

I think the evidence tells
that story, yeah.

[chuckles]
Told you.

What is it you teach again?

Literature, with a focus
on crime fiction.

Sounds fun.

Yeah. It is.

And your assessment
sounds correct.

Did you mention this
to Detective Roma?

Yeah, we did, but...

He didn't seem
that interested.

I'll talk to him.

All right.

Have you made any headway
on the McHale case?

We have a warrant for Alexis and
Billy's phones and computers,

but it'll take some time
to go through.

Yeah, well you might want to do
the same thing with Vicky Lin.

Definitely.

Thank you.

Yeah.

Both of you.

You're welcome.

All right.

[clears throat]

Thanks.

We'll see you.

Hey, you want to go over
the Sweeney case book

without him looking
over our shoulder?

Well, don't you need to rehearse
your talk?

Oh, my talk's fine.

Alright, let's go.

Yeah?

Yeah.

Coroner says that the time
of death was 10:30 PM.

And apparently he talked
to his assistant at 10:20.

Do we know what they
talked about?

Privileged information,
she said.

Ahh.

Hmm.

You wouldn't happen to have
a magnifying glass, would you?

[laughs]

You kidding?

What?

You always wear one around
your neck.

[laughs] I didn't pack
it this time.

Uh, maybe I can use the zoom
on my phone.

I just, uh... I want
to try to find out

what Sweeney was working on.

It's just kind of hard to see.

Oh wow.

What are you looking at?

Bingo.

Divorce petition, wow.

Mmhmm.

So we need to find out
if there was a prenup.

And if there was, and he signed
those papers,

Alexis could've lost a lot
of money in that divorce.

And if Alexis went
to talk to him, right,

she finds out about it,

she goes to talk to Sweeney,
and he doesn't back down?

She kills him.

Or Billy could've killed her.

You know, there's 24 hours'
worth of footage

from the front door
security camera.

Where?

It's filed with physical
evidence.

Well, can we see it?

I'm gonna call Roma.

[phone rings]

Uh, excuse me for a second.

Roma, I need to ask you
a favour.

Hey.

Hey Winslow.

Uh, just wondering if you wanted
to grab a bite?

You know what, I've already
eaten tonight,

and I'm kind of working.

With Travis?

Uh, yeah.

Okay. I'll see you tomorrow
for your talk.

Yeah, you will.

Okay, bye.

Sophie said we could view the
footage in the briefing room.

Okay, can we go now?

-Yeah.
-Awesome.

Okay.

That's 10:00 pm on Sunday.

Let's slow it down.

Huh.

Looks like Roma was right about
the killer not coming in

from the front.

Hang on.

What?

What is that?

Is that a car?

Yeah, yeah, it's definitely
a car.

Can you tell what model?

It looks like Mitch McHale's
ride.

At 10:28, just before the time
of death.

I mean, we do know that Alexis
has keys to that car.

Yeah.

It could be a coincidence.

Well, we know what Miss Marple
says about coincidence.

Mmhmm.

Let's see if our guy
turns around.

Mmm. Wait a minute,
where did it go?

That road ends in a cul-de-sac.

I have an idea.

Come on.

You were right, the dirt road
connects to the cul-de-sac,

which means McHale driving
back this way makes sense.

-Right.
-Yeah.

And... an oil stain.

You don't get that from
an electric motor.

Mm-mm.

So, that means it was
someone else.

You break into that house,
you shoot a guy,

you ransack that office, that
takes what, 15 minutes at most?

Yeah.

But to leave an oil stain
this big,

you have to have your car
parked longer than that.

So I think that our killer
was waiting for Ray Sweeney

to return home,

which would prove that this
wasn't a robbery gone wrong.

Yeah.

What?

-Hey, Travis?
-Yeah.

Door's open.

Hey.

Hello?

Hi.

Is that your shed?

Hey, hey, it's okay
little buddy.

Look, I'm a cop.

Hey!

♪

[grunts]

Hey, hey, hey, hold on,
hold on, hold on!

Listen. I'm not a cop.

Okay?

My name is Amy.

I'm a teacher.

I'm an actually an English
teacher, and we just...

Hey.

We just want to talk.

Yeah.

We just want to talk.

Owen Shea, my name is
Detective Travis Burke,

this is Amy Winslow.

Look, we don't want
to cause you trouble.

I just have a few questions
that we need to ask.

Okay.

We don't want to take away
your clubhouse.

That's why you were
running away, right?

Yeah.

You were afraid that
the Detective here

was going to arrest you
for trespassing?

Do you play Sylvan Quests?

Yeah?

Do you mind if I go in?

Sure.

Oh.

Because I play.

Well, I mean, I haven't played
in a while.

But I'm a dragon-borne wizard.

[laughs]

I am!

Were you here Sunday night
at 10:00 PM?

Were you with friends?

My friends had left.

They're younger than me.

I'm the QM.

The what?

It's, um, Quest Master.

He organizes the game.

So you have, uh, arrow loops
here, right?

It's to fire an arrow
from the castle?

Yeah.

Yeah, that's cool.

That's awesome.

Yeah.

You guys LARP, too?

[laughs]

All right, stop, stop.
Okay, what is LARP?

You want to tell him?

Um, it's Live Action Role Play.

Like, we do like battles
and stuff,

and this is our castle.

Yeah, okay.

Yeah.

All right.

So, Owen...

Could you see a car pull up
from one of those arrow loops?

Yeah.

Did ya?

Yeah.

What did it look like?

Nothing special.

It was like, four-door sedan.

Did you... happen to hear
any shots fired?

Yeah.

And did you happen to see

another car pull up
that same night?

Yeah, so it was, uh,
it was parked here

right before the shots.

And would you call the car
that was parked here "special"

in any way?

Like, did it look like this?

Wow, wizard skills, yeah!

Did you get a good look
at the guy's face?

Um, no.

Not at first, you know.

It was dark and I was heading
back to the HQ.

Um, the shed.

Yeah, so I was sort of
hiding over there,

right after the shots.

Then the guy in the cool car
gets out,

checks out the boring car, uh,
cool car guy had a flashlight,

but then he just goes back to
his ride and sits in the dark.

And you stayed?

Yeah.

I was kind of frozen.

Then maybe like 10,
15 minutes later,

another guy comes
through the gate,

and then he puts something
in the trunk of the sedan

and drives off.

A guy. The driver was a man?

I... I mean, I think.

They were wearing pants,
I... I don't know.

Hmm.

And then what?

Cool guy flips his flashlight
back on,

then he goes through the gate,

and then I go and check
out his ride,

but the guy comes back
pretty quick

and I have to duck
and hide behind his car.

And that's when you
got a look at him?

Yeah.

Here. Was it one of these guys?

Middle guy.

You're sure?

100 percent.

Well, thank you.

You have been more
than helpful.

Do you live around here,
your mom or your dad?

Yeah. We're just
a few blocks away.

You want to hop in the car
and we'll give you a ride home?

[sighs]

Boring four-door sedan, huh?

Yeah, you know who drives
a car like that?

Yep.

Police detective.

Hmm.

♪

Excuse me.

Hi.

My name is Detective Burke,
I'm from Garrison PD.

Is Lieutenant Knox in?

Give me a minute.

Thanks.

Hey, Travis.

Hey, what's up?

Come here.

Detective Dennis Roma broke
both legs falling down

a flight of stairs but still
managed to catch the culprit.

When did Sweeney
start losing cases?

Uh, six months ago.

Detective?

Yeah.

Uh, Lieutenant Knox
is gone for the day.

Okay. Hey, listen.

I got a... I got
a question for you.

Uh, after Detective Roma
broke both his legs,

when did he get back
on the job?

Just two months ago.

Is he in?

Uh, he clocked out at 4:00.

Can I get his address?

I promised I'd get this back
to him tonight.

We should hurry before
someone else gets killed.

Yeah.

[knocking at door]

Oh, hi.

Is everything okay?

Yeah, sorry for dropping by.

We just wanted to show
you something.

Oh, um, I'm actually
just running out.

Five minutes.

It's important.

Okay.

Come on in.

So what's up?

Well, we think we know

how the Sweeney and McHale
murders are connected.

Seriously?

Yeah.

Yeah, so, Ray Sweeney

was handling Mitchell
McHale's divorce.

Um, see these files?

I took a picture of them
and I zoomed in on it.

Now he had all the paperwork
ready for Mitchell to sign

the night that Sweeney
was murdered.

Now, what we also know
is that Mitchell's car

was there that night.

Okay, but there's more
than one of those.

Well here's the thing.

We have a witness.

Yeah.

And he saw McHale's car parked
behind Sweeney's house,

and he identified Mitchell
McHale as the driver.

Wait... What witness?

Yeah, we'll...
we'll get to that.

But this witness also saw
a four-door sedan parked

behind Sweeney's house.

The kind that a detective
would drive.

And the driver of this sedan
is the person that walked

into Ray Sweeney's house,
just before 10:30,

and shot him dead.

Travis, that is a...

A serious accusation?

Yeah.

Yeah.

Yeah, well, we know.

That's why we wanted
to talk to you.

You wanted to talk to me
instead of Denny Roma.

Well, I mean, you said that,
uh, you suspected

that there was an inside man in
the police department, right?

Someone that was helping Sweeney
with his cases.

Well, ostensibly, that person
was doing this for money.

Roma.

But then six months ago,
Sweeney started losing cases.

Roma must've stopped
helping him,

I mean, probably because
you started looking into it.

Yeah, but here's the thing.

Sweeney, he told Vicky Lin
on Saturday

that he had a plan to start
winning again.

So my guess is is that,
I don't know,

that Sweeney told Roma,
you start helping me again,

or I'm going to tell
your department

what you've been doing.

Blackmail.

But Roma has a different
solution.

[gunfire]

Kill Ray Sweeney,
stage it as a robbery.

Steal all the evidence
that tied him to Sweeney.

But here's what he couldn't
have known.

Mitchell McHale showed up
to sign his divorce papers

just before the shots
were fired.

And so when Roma was loading
up his car and driving off,

Mitchell McHale was watching
from the dark.

And our witness saw McHale
enter the house after that,

so he knew that the cop that
just left killed his lawyer.

Mmhmm.

Now what we all know
is that Mitchell McHale

had a software program
for the police departments.

Vicky Lin says it's a sham,
but McHale told us that...

I should be closing a deal
tonight for Seattle Metro PD

to license my S.L.O.O.T.H
software.

I mean, you do the math.

McHale must've contacted Roma.

Told him he knew what he did.

Maybe even had photos of Roma
putting Sweeney's stuff

in the trunk of his car.

McHale must've told Roma
that he had to get S.L.O.O.T.H

into Seattle Metro, or else he'd
blow the whistle on him.

Roma must've arranged for them
to meet on the rooftop.

Where there are no cameras.

So the cop commits a second
murder to cover up the first.

Um... I'm... I'm just...
I'm stunned.

I... I need to talk to Roma.

I've known him for years, I...

It needs to be me
that brings him in.

Yeah.

Yeah, see, we thought
you would say that.

[sighs]

You were running out to see
Roma when we got here,

weren't you?

Excuse me?

Rachel, we just came
from Roma's.

You going somewhere,
Detective?

Yeah, why?

We need to talk, now.

He told us that you called him
to set up a meeting.

And we're the ones
that told him to call you

and push that meeting.

Okay, I... I don't know
what you're...

Rachel...

Roma can't be
the inside man.

No, he was on leave
for a year.

He just got back on the job
two months ago.

But the inside man was working
for Sweeney

up until six months ago.

Six months.

Six months, that kept rattling
around in my head,

and then I figured it out.

Something else happened
six months ago.

Your dad died.

Yeah.

Money was always an issue,

and finally he opened
his own shop.

And he lost it.

And she lost him.

Yeah.

How he went out.

Did it himself.

Suicide.

I didn't... I didn't know that.

She was talking about
resigning, too.

Moving back to Chicago.

I guess he was in some kind
of trouble,

and then he wasn't.

And so I called our old friend,
Captain Lowe in Chicago,

and he told me that he looked
into your dad's suicide,

and he said that your dad
started his bake shop

with a loan from the mob,
and as the years went by,

that debt, it got bigger,

and Rachel I know how much
you loved your father.

But what I didn't know was
that you would be willing

to do anything
to help him out,

including selling yourself out
to a crooked lawyer for money.

But that wasn't enough,
was it?

So your dad did what he did,

and then there was no need
for you to resign anymore.

You know, it was all over,
it was all behind you.

But then Sweeney came and... and
threatened to blackmail you,

but you solved enough crimes
to know how to commit one.

[gunshots]

Robbery gone wrong,
victim nobody cared about.

The case would soon grow cold,
it was perfect.

I mean, McHale threw a little
wrench in there,

but you handled that.

And then I handed Billy Poole
to you on a silver platter.

But when we started
to connect the murders,

you knew that you had to shift
from the framing Billy angle,

and you waited to see
how far we got,

and then you had to make Roma
your fall guy.

You were meeting with Roma
tonight to close the loop.

And what was your story
going to be, Rachel?

Huh?

That you went there and tried
to convince Roma

to turn himself in, but instead
he tried to kill you,

so you did what
you had to do?

He's a cop.

I mean, of course you wouldn't
call in the shooting

until after you loaded
everything that you stole

from Sweeney's house

and Mitchell's cell phone
into the trunk of Roma's car.

It's all in the trunk of your
car ready to go, isn't it?

[sighs]

Tell you what, Rachel?

Why don't we just go out
and take a look?

Rachel.

Come on.

If you're innocent, I'll tell
you how sorry I am.

[sobs]

I just...

You know, you... you do...

you do one thing and you just
don't, you don't think.

I mean, it's not like I had this
big master plan, I just...

That first case with Sweeney.

His client was innocent.

I was trying to do
something good.

You got paid to do it.

Yes, but to help my dad.

After everything he'd done,
I just...

I just wanted to keep
his dream alive.

You killed two people,
Rachel.

Two terrible people.

No. No.

We don't get to decide who lives
and who dies.

I'm so sorry, Travis.

I ruined everything.

[car door slams]

Thanks for everything,
and for saving my life.

And I trusted her.

You take care, Denny.

Thank you.

-Bye-bye.
-Thank you.

You know, I know
how he feels.

I know I haven't seen her
in years,

but there was a time when,
you know,

we trusted each other
with our lives.

Yeah.

You know, Bud's lecture
for class this week

was all about trust.

The original definition
means "alliance."

Well, Amy.

I'm glad that you're my ally.

Likewise.

And so, why are mysteries one of
the most popular forms

of fiction in the whole entire
history of the world?

Why?

Well, if you push aside
the tropes and the suspects

and the settings, you're left
with an answer that is,

well, what Holmes might say is
"elementary," my dear.

[laughs]

Uh, mystery novels are really
just an expression

of what might just be
our greatest human quality.

Our curiosity.

Our passion to discover.

Our desire to know, and to
answer not only "whodunnit,"

but also who we are.

Thank you.

[cheering and applause]

[laughs]

Thank you!

Did you see everybody?

Bud, Holly and Claire?

Hey, how do you think
they got here?

You, come here.

Thank you!

Aww.

See, you can be thoughtful.

Yeah, well, I have my moments.

You do.

You do.

So, how was I?

Amy.

Was it okay?

You were fantastic.

Yeah?

Yes.

[laughs]

Okay.

Okay.

Hey, you want to go home?

Hey. Hey, hey.

Hey! Hey! Hey!

Hey!

You were incredible, honey.

Oh!

Thank you.

We're so proud of you.

Thank you, thank you guys
so much for coming.

You were so good.

That was amazing, Amy.

Oh.

(Travis) To Amy!

[applause]
