00:00I can't thank you enough.
00:21The proceeds from this charity cook-off will keep our hot meals program going for six months anyway.
00:26My pleasure. You know, these promos are good for the network.
00:28Yeah. Viewers, they like it when you do something good for the community.
00:31Yeah.
00:32Bill's ratings. Now, can we get this, please?
00:34I've got other things to do, you know.
00:36Where's Amanda? She should be here for the photograph.
00:38Say cheese.
00:41You shouldn't take that photograph without her. This whole thing was her idea.
00:45No, I hope she's all right.
00:46What's it all?
00:58Five minutes.
00:59Five minutes.
00:59Five minutes.
01:03Five minutes.
01:16Let's go. Let's go. Come on.
01:45I've only got two hours to do these promos, you know.
01:48Time is money. Let's go.
01:50Marissa, is it true what I heard?
01:53That you're raising your own lamb?
01:57You should both come up to my farm next slaughtering day.
02:00There's nothing like home-grown asparagus with truly fresh lamb chops.
02:05Rich, makes you sick, doesn't it?
02:13Oh, it's not a pretty sight.
02:16You should have seen her before she dyed her hair.
02:19What are you talking about?
02:21Marissa Parkers. What are you talking about?
02:25Lambs.
02:26Flaughtered day.
02:26Oh, yes.
02:28Well, any one of these meets.
02:33Now, where is Dr. Sloan?
02:35He's supposed to be doing that spot with Marissa.
02:37He's looking for Dr. Bentley.
02:39I'll go find him.
02:39Okay.
02:40Go find him.
02:40You know, Amanda's car is out in front, but she's nowhere in sight.
03:06She's probably inside by now.
03:07I'm going to wait for you.
03:08I'm going to wait for you.
03:13We have the promos.
03:15You have plenty of time.
03:17Here we go.
03:19I think maybe you are embarrassed a little to be seen as me.
03:24Embarrassed? I am not embarrassed.
03:28Just a little?
03:32You're the one who said that we should keep this our little secret until after me.
03:37I'm just rendering a half a cup of pancetta for the tri-tip bolognese we'll be making for the last night.
03:57hello welcome i'm just rendering a half a cup of pancetta for the tri-tip bolognese we'll be
04:06making for the cook-off i'll just uh defrost this beef demi-gloss
04:17yes here we go please join us thursday for the celebrity chef cook-off benefiting community
04:30general hospital right here on the cuisine channel

04:47wait wait whoa
04:51cold water
05:04tower
05:05come on one more
05:06come on
05:06oh
05:08oh
05:12oh
05:16oh
05:20oh
05:24oh
05:58There was nothing in that microwave to cause it to catch fire.
06:12I think maybe this wasn't an accident.
06:14Is there any reason to suspect why someone might want to kill Marissa?
06:18Well, folks, you know, accidents do happen.
06:20It does seem suspicious.
06:22What about the food assistant?
06:24Oh, he'll be fine. They'll take him to the community general.
06:27And Marissa Parkhurst?
06:28Come in.
06:36Oh, I'm sorry. I'll come back when you're dressed.
06:38Come in. Come in. I'm dressed.
06:40I've just spoken to my lawyer about suing the company that made that microwave.
06:47Obviously, the design is flawed. I could have been killed.
06:50Would you look at this? My follicles are scorched.
06:53You know what might be a good idea? Have you looked over at the hospital?
06:56You know, you inhale a lot of smoke.
06:57I held my breath.
06:58I held my breath. Thanks to yoga, I can suspend breathing for two minutes, 41 seconds, and my hair follicles will be fine.
07:04I'm using my own yoga, chamomile, vanillin hair mask with flaxseed for extra shine.
07:10Miss Parkhurst, you don't want to take you any chances. It'll only take about an hour.
07:13Doctor, if I had an hour, I'd plan an herb garden.
07:18After this promo, I have a meeting to discuss colors for my line of linens, followed by a cocktail party to launch my new magazine,
07:25followed by dinner with the designer of my pottery, followed by midnight aerobics.
07:28It sounds like you might have a little problem with insomnia.
07:32Bite your tongue. Insomnia is the secret of my success.
07:37Tell Keith that I have 50 more minutes scheduled for this promo, and then I'm out of here, okay?
07:43Okay. Need anything else?
07:46Not now, but don't go too far.
07:51Where are you making?
07:53Grated carrots.
07:55I mean, what recipe are you making?
07:57Grated carrots.
07:57It's been my lunch.
07:59I only eat pure food since you prepared.
08:02Care for one?
08:03Oh, thanks.
08:03I'm trying to cut back.
08:06Some explosion, huh?
08:12Miss Parkhurst, she's pretty popular with the people around here, huh?
08:16Marissa?
08:17To know her is to loathe her.
08:19You don't think anybody would try and do her any harm, do you?
08:23Harm her? No.
08:24Murder her?
08:25Maybe.
08:27Keith tells me you're a surgeon.
08:29Yeah.
08:30I hope you wouldn't think me presumptuous, but I need your help desperately.
08:36What's wrong?
08:37My numbers.
08:40Blood pressure?
08:41Cholesterol?
08:42Ratings.
08:43Ratings.
08:43Ratings?
08:44Ratings?
08:44Yeah, I don't see how I can be of any help to you.
08:47I need someone.
08:48Someone like you to endorse the Elliot Grayson Healthy and Happy Cookbook.
08:52You're a surgeon.
08:55You've seen the fat clogging people's arteries and choking the very life out of them.
09:00I'm a trauma surgeon.
09:02My book could save thousands, maybe hundreds of thousands of lives.
09:07Seaweed souffle.
09:09Tofu trifle.
09:10An endorsement from you would mean greater credibility, bigger sales, better time slot, rising ratings, more viewers, and thus, fewer deaths from cardiac arrest.
09:21Mr. Grayson, I do believe in a healthy, well-balanced diet.
09:25I knew it.
09:26Just looking at you, I could tell.
09:27But I have to disclose to you, I also own a barbecue restaurant.
09:32Well, I hope you can live with your conscience.
09:48You're looking for me.
09:49Mr. Grayson, there's a trailer, I suppose, of fire trucks.
10:03You should see the mess in there.
10:06I know.
10:07I sent yours to replace the food that was ruined at my station.
10:12Oh, now where were we?
10:14Uh, is there any reason why someone might want to harm Marissa Parkhurst?
10:19Only if they knew her.
10:23Come here.
10:25Hey, it's May and Connie.
10:28Just a minute.
10:28This shouldn't take long.
10:33Maybe you could wait somewhere.
10:37In the bus room, perhaps.
10:40Now who's embarrassed, huh?
10:42Oh, no, no, no, no, no.
10:43Oh, Connie and Camille is here.
10:45Such terrible gossips.
10:48Let's not let them ruin this wonderful relationship before it even gets started.
10:55Hey, good night.
10:59Hey, Renee.
10:59Are you playing your mom's book?
11:04Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh.
11:18Come here.
11:19Is it my imagination, or are you two even more beautiful in California than you ever were back home?
11:35Do you stay at last thinking of this double case, or do they just come to you on the spur of the moment?
11:42Oh, you flatter me.
11:45I came to ask a favor.
11:46Yeah.
11:46Give me a cookie, I promise you anything.
11:51I told you this would work.
11:55We, um, we want to hire your assistant.
12:00Josh?
12:00Mm-hmm.
12:02Why?
12:02Oh, now, because he's so good.
12:06I know, I would be lost without him.
12:08Well, it's your fault that we have to ask.
12:11My fault?
12:12Mm-hmm.
12:12Well, yes, if you had not convinced us to leave Tennessee.
12:16We'd still be catering Elk's picnics instead of hosting our own nationally syndicated television show.
12:22And traveling the world to promote our new cookbook.
12:25With no time at all to do all the good things that a good personal assistant would take care of.
12:31But if you don't want him to leave...
12:34I would never want to stand in his way.
12:37Oh, probably.
12:37Make him an affair.
12:38If he wants to go, then bless him.
12:40Oh, mwah.
12:43Renee, they're ready.
12:44Do you know where Connie and Camille are?
12:46Oh, we're coming.
12:47Then, we'll go and give whoever you got hiding in the bathroom time to come out.
12:53Bye-bye.
12:54Oh, mwah.
13:05Savvy.
13:07Now, what are we?
13:11Making promos.
13:12All right, people, now, we're running a little late, so we'll start with you, Marissa.
13:19We'll talk about the next.

15:48Oh, my God.
16:02You're firing me.
16:04No, why would I fire you?
16:06My ratings are down.
16:07You hate me.
16:09Your ratings are fine for their time slot.
16:11Most people don't cook at 3 a.m.
16:14You know, and I don't hate you.
16:16You brought me a gift basket.
16:18What else could it mean?
16:19Elliot, I am not firing you.
16:25Oh, my God.
16:28Oh, what a cheap play for attention.
16:48Dr. Song?
17:01I'm sorry.
17:02No.

17:05You have to keep trying.

17:08Amanda, help me.
17:10Amanda.
17:11No.
17:12What happened?
17:36What happened?
17:36what happened well it'll take an autopsy to be served but all the signs point to anaphylactic
17:44shock the victim's name was renee fontaineau he was flushed his windpipe swelled shut
17:50pretty sure there's fluid in the lungs anaphylactic shock could be caused by a food allergy yeah he
17:56was allergic to shellfish mark is talking to the coroner right now but he was very careful i mean
18:02he never cooked shellfish never even touched it he was cooking chicken he never went near a product
18:10or medication with iodine he had uh one close call five years ago when he ate some sea bass that had
18:18eaten shrimp and it almost killed him he was paranoid about iodine that's not all just moments before he
18:28died the microwave and the set exploded all right folks nobody leaves this set without my permission
18:37i just want to say that if renee was indeed murdered i'll do everything in my power to help find the
18:42killer you and renee ponson over close oh yeah he had the highest ratings on my network yeah
18:48amanda coroner's grease was most likely anaphylactic shock
18:58you and uh renee ponson over close oh yeah we were friends
19:09could have been a short somebody could have deliberately sabotaged it yeah yes you're pretty
19:25good with these things you think you could take a look at it see if you can figure out what made it
19:28explode yeah it's not exactly brain surgery wear your gloves although i know how to do brain surgery
19:38goat cheese you put goat cheese on my beautiful crouture i told you to use camembert you creighton
19:48you will never work in this town again if i ever hire another chef who wasn't trained in paris just
19:55shoot me uh that would be illegal ma'am and i hope you don't mind me saying so but you seem to have
20:01quite a temper i'm sorry i didn't catch your name lieutenant steve sloan
20:08it's a slapdash world lieutenant full of low lives who wash their colors in with their whites
20:15i have standards and damn little tolerance for people who don't that's why i'm so successful
20:20i'm stern but i'm fair i elevate my audience but you're not here to talk about my audience are you
20:28you and renee fontenow you uh got along all right we met when we were students at the culinary
20:35institute and we stayed close friends ever since then you should know if someone wanted to kill him
20:41i know you want us to find renee's killer of course
20:49you might want to talk to his ex-wife their breakup was pretty volatile and where would i find her
20:59why right here at the studio of course he used to be married to camille carmichael
21:05one day in the studio i overheard camille and renee arguing they didn't see me
21:12everybody knew that renee cheated on her everybody but poor camille apparently one day
21:19the infidelity became so flagrant that even she couldn't ignore it any longer when i heard them
21:24she was letting him have it with both barrels she accused him of stealing some sandwich recipe
21:29from her and her sister she slapped him and she threw a ring at him and stalked off
21:35how long ago was that
21:37about a year ago
21:40that's a lie
21:42you think that i didn't know from the beginning of my marriage that he was cheating on me
21:47we're just trying to get an idea of who might have had a motive for killing mr fontenow
21:51are you saying miss parker's story isn't accurate
21:54she must think i am some simple little country girl with grits for brains
21:59so you knew he had an affair must have made you angry
22:03of course it made me angry at first but
22:06oh heck who can stay angry at a fulsome nature you know what i mean
22:11let me tell you renee was as completely irresistible to women
22:17as a 50 percent off shoe sale
22:20look my sister and i we grew up with renee i knew he could never be faithful but
22:25i admit it
22:30i loved him anyway
22:33what about the argument that marissa overheard
22:36it's true
22:38i finally had all i could take from renee
22:42as much as i loved him
22:44i needed a more stable relationship
22:47but i truly was more sad than angry
22:49and i was determined that we would remain friends
22:52so there were no harsh words whatsoever
22:54it's kind of hard to believe
22:56well
22:56i was annoyed at him for taking my recipe for mufalata sandwich
23:03mufalata sandwich i haven't had one of those in years
23:07what is mufalata
23:09oh it's like taking new orleans and distilling it into one sandwich that's mufalata
23:15connie and i invented a special rumalata for our mufalata
23:20and when i saw the galleys of renee's new cookbook well there was the recipe for the rumalat
23:25our rumalat
23:27now when i confronted renee he immediately apologized and went straight to the phone to call his editor
23:32to give us credit in his book
23:34if you don't believe me
23:35check out chapter seven sandwiches from around the world page 94 fourth paragraph third line
23:41so you didn't slap renee and stalk off the stage
23:45we hugged
23:47we hugged and we kissed goodbye
23:49one other thing you know we weren't on the stage we were in renee's trailer
23:54and if marissa was there i'd like to know where the hell she was hiding
24:01steve
24:02got a minute
24:05the insulation had been replaced with a flammable material causing it to catch fire when she started it up
24:16so that it was planned
24:18i'm not sure what that has to do with renee's death
24:20i think maybe marissa parkhurst might be able to tell us a little bit about that
24:25miss parkhurst
24:28i didn't see her on the set
24:31i told her not to leave
24:33have you seen marissa parkhurst
24:36no she had to come this way
24:38well we better split up and find her
24:41let it go
24:47no
24:48not yours
24:49i don't care it's gonna be my
24:51you can't
24:52those are private
24:56ah the elusive miss parkhurst
24:59what's that

25:02it's not disgusting
25:04it just really isn't anybody's business
25:06pictures of marissa
25:08pictures of lots of women
25:11apparently they have nothing to hide

25:31don't go i didn't mean it
25:36were you nana in love
25:46i guess so
25:49he said he was
25:51i was beginning to
25:53you didn't tell anybody
25:55mark i wanted to be sure
25:57i have cj to think of
26:00and now dion i can't just go out there and do whatever
26:03and if i'm unsure then it's unfair to the children
26:07and now those awful photographs
26:09you didn't
26:10no no of course not
26:13mark all those women
26:16i had no idea i feel so foolish

26:31but there's no telling what we might find out about her name
26:34but no
26:34and why anybody would want to kill her
26:37and whatever it is you're probably not gonna like it
26:39i've already seen the worst

27:09i can't describe it lieutenant

27:17it's like
27:19every woman he met

27:23was chocolate
27:24he conned all these women
27:26it wasn't a con
27:28it was our pleasure
27:29detective
27:30believe me
27:32what i find hard to believe is that
27:35many were jealous
27:36i suppose i was
27:39at least a little bit
27:41i envied camille
27:44obviously they could be together whenever they wanted
27:47we had to hide
27:49i hated it
27:50sneaking in and out of his trailer like some
27:52cat burglar in heat
27:54camille told us that she broke up with renee in his trailer not on stage
27:58you were there weren't you
28:00in the bathroom
28:04you can't tell keith about this he doesn't know
28:08why would your producer care if you and renee were romancing each other
28:12he's
28:13well you know

28:40there's a question i need to ask you
28:42what
28:42it may not be easy to answer
28:44oh no detective
28:45i am a producer
28:46there are no hard questions

28:49why are your ratings going down
28:51okay

28:53did you know your
28:54wife had an affair with renee
28:56well i knew this would come out
28:59yeah
28:59i knew that
29:00i think every woman that renee ever met
29:03he slept with
29:04but
29:05oh
29:06god
29:07now you don't think i had anything to do with this dad
29:10jealousy is a pretty powerful motive for murder
29:13unless you're saying you just didn't care
29:15did you care
29:16of course i cared
29:17you know i care like you care when a thunderstorm rains out your golf game
29:21you really wish it hadn't happened but there's nothing you can do about that
29:24your wife is hardly a golf game
29:26and renee wasn't renee
29:28detective
29:28i am a limited man
29:30i have two things in my life that i enjoy
29:33my beautiful and accomplished wife my oldest friend renee
29:36now if i'd have lost my temper about their having had an affair
29:40then i would have lost them both
29:41and how would that have served my life better
29:45still in the heat of the moment
29:47there's no heat
29:48there's no heat i told you he was my oldest friend
29:50we started business together
29:53we were younger then
29:56yeah we worked together in this hole-in-the-wall dive in an alley in new orleans
30:02try and tell
30:03it wasn't very refined
30:05if it wasn't burgers and bees
30:07if it wasn't burgers and bees they would eat
30:07yeah we had a great time
30:10we even roomed together
30:11yeah and we planned our glorious
30:13our glorious futures over
30:15beer and grits breakfasts
30:18happy times
30:23those were the days my friend
30:25those were the days
30:27well
30:34renee's dead
30:36and and i want you to find his killer
30:38but that doesn't give you the right to expose my private
30:41we're not exposing anything miss carmichael
30:44we're investigating the murder
30:45anything you say will be between us
30:48okay yes i had an affair with renee
30:52you know several of them actually
30:55sort of off and on
30:57renee wasn't really a steady eddie
31:00you kept this affair a secret
31:02well absolutely
31:04and now all this happened before camille and renee were married
31:09and then again a little after they were separated
31:14but still if she knew
31:16she would probably throw the his fit of all time
31:18and you were afraid she'd be so mad
31:20that she might do something stupid
31:22like kill your renee
31:23oh no
31:25she's my sister
31:27i just i didn't want to hurt her
31:29that was an idiot
31:32for being with renee
31:34or for letting him take your picture
31:36oh no nobody ever regretted being with renee
31:40ever
31:41no matter how it ended
31:44so i suppose this officially makes me suspect
31:49no more or less than anybody else in this album
31:51you know your sister said that
31:53you and she went to school with renee
31:56ah yes
31:57so where did that french accent come from
31:59pretension
32:01see to begin with his name was not renee frontenough
32:05now it was don eddie wolfstein and he is from memphis not new orleans
32:11see his parents both worked so he was always over to our house and even then he was just such a cute little
32:19scanty
32:21you would not believe the things he got away with
32:25so you must have known him when uh he and keith down were partners in a restaurant
32:29uh partens
32:31well who told you they were partners no
32:34no keith was the boss and he treated renee like a slave
32:39oh my lord he made renee do all the dirty work and he paid him next to nothing but renee got
32:45how did he do that
32:49after keith's restaurant burned down he started the cuisine channel on a shoestring
32:54but see by that time don eddie wolfstein had become renee farneau
33:00with a reputation for being a hot cajun cook
33:04so when keith offered him a show on the channel
33:08renee just smiled and made him pay through the nose
33:15steve come quickly found something amanda what the hell are you doing
33:21i thought we told you to go home you did but then i remembered something that might be a clue
33:26and mark asked me well what is it and i said i'm not going to tell you unless you let me stay
33:30and help find renee's killer look all right everybody you can go back in the stage and just let us
33:37handle this we're all involved in this well that's right i have a right to know but if you
33:41discovered something we all ought to know what it is well i wasn't expecting a crowd oh you sure
33:47got one everybody just wait out here
33:51well well apparently when uh amanda was waiting here in the bathroom she noticed this uh wooden
34:10panel was pulled loose from the base renee was a fastidious man fastidious he never would have
34:17accepted shoddy finish work we came back to have a look if you touch this i haven't even breathed on it
34:27no as soon as we saw it i came and dropped you what is it what's inside
34:33oh how would you look at that where'd renee get that kind of money are you dense he was obviously
34:43blackmailing someone renee would do that you're right he's a lover not a thief he had plenty of
34:53money he didn't have to blackmail anybody and he wouldn't have he was an honest man you know it may
35:00or may not be blackmail but see if you may want to check out renee's bank records jesse would you check
35:06someone for me sure what you need mr doug simple people who suggested that of everyone here you're
35:14the one most capable of putting your hands on the hundred thousand dollars in their briefcase uh
35:21i would die i really would if marissa knew this but that's not true i don't have a hundred thousand
35:26dollars not in cash not in securities not in anything but you're on the cuisine channel there's
35:32mortgage to the health right down to tart pans i've secretly been trying salad i'm surprised food
35:38is very popular everybody's got to eat yeah but it's not like anybody's going to starve if they don't
35:44use our recipes you know i mean who's going to buy the cuisine channel without the great renee fontanel
35:50no wonder you remain friends renee's been your biggest asset hasn't he oh yeah i told you i didn't
35:55kill him but you know i think i might know who did yeah because one day last week i was walking
36:03in my office and i heard elliot and renee arguing i mean they were screaming so loud they didn't even
36:08notice me elliot was raving of renee about his cream cuisine calling him a cholesterol killer
36:15and then renee said that elliot was this jealous because he was the star of the show before renee came
36:22now losing two of my chefs is certainly going to kill any deals to sell this channel
36:28but you know i i thought i owed it to renee to tell you liar liar damn liar let me go on
36:36let me tell you the truth you're not going anywhere near mr dunn mr grishon you tell us we'll take care
36:42of chief dunn i wasn't the one who argued with renee it was chief actually it was more like a brawl
36:49they were throwing things and yelling about who had done more for the other one can you imagine two
36:53grown men acting like hoodlums keith threatened to fire renee renee said go ahead the green channel
36:59would go down the drain without him that all what what do you want it was bad back
37:06of course i would expect that sort of behavior from them keith in particular is quite the insensitive
37:11boar do you know what he did to me today no but i expect you'll tell us not two hours ago he gave me
37:17an expensive gift that would certainly frost me pate cheese red wine i would rather eat meals
37:26on keynotes
37:42renee is dead and all you can do is bicker about who had him last she slept with my husband
37:48well he wasn't your husband at the time it doesn't matter what matters is renee is dead and someone
37:53here killed him we can't slow here in case you haven't figured it out darlings she's another
38:01member of the club i beg your pardon i'm not a member of any club are you saying you didn't
38:06have an affair with renee well i might have probably would have but it wasn't just a you know oh well
38:15it wasn't for any of us either honey that was just fine all right thanks the coroner finished the autopsy
38:24you were right fontano died of anaphylactic shock iodine where did it come from they analyzed all the
38:32ingredients he used and found it in his shaker of spices renee's uh famous magique was full of iodine
38:39now who handed the magic to renee
38:42i did
38:58thank you you're not really a suspect but i can't let you go yet i'm sorry we'll get this riddell
39:05i know steve i just remembered something as soon as i came into the studio what happened
39:14there was a lot of confusion and my first instinct was to make sure renee was all right
39:19but he wasn't in his kitchen said josh was he didn't think anyone was looking and i didn't think
39:26anything of it at the time but i saw josh take renee's magique and remove some of the secret formula and
39:33and pour it into another bottle and take it away that's a lie she's just saying it so you won't
39:41think that she did that formula is worth a fortune manufacturers have been after renee for years to
39:47last minute renee fault knows magic more famous than the colonel's nine herbs and spouses now available
39:56you know what the company that makes it strikes skull but renee he wasn't interested why are you
40:01suggesting that josh stole the formula to have an analyzed look itself i'm telling you i didn't do
40:06it well if you did you were in for a big disappointment magic's a scam secret spices is my
40:17it's salt kosher salt sea salt table salt every other kind of salt and all of it collated with
40:23vegetable title look exotic you mean josh stole salt
40:36Lieutenant, get out of your way!
40:46You're a doctor.
40:47I never did like you.
40:52I think it's time for you to come clean, Josh.
40:55You rigged the microwave to create a diversion so you could steal the magic.
41:00All right, yes, I did it.
41:02I shorted off the microwave and I stole the magic.
41:05Why?
41:06Rene wouldn't sell it, which didn't make sense.
41:09It's not like he was rolling in bucks.
41:10So you saw an opportunity to steal from your uncle and you just took it.
41:15You think I don't feel guilty?
41:17I think you feel caught.
41:20I didn't kill him.
41:22I swear I didn't.
41:23Well, maybe your uncle found out you stole the formula.
41:26Maybe he fired you.
41:27Maybe you got angry and killed him so you could keep the formula.
41:30No.
41:31I loved my uncle.
41:33Everybody did.
41:34Be sure to mention that to the jury.
41:37Well, Steve, listen, before we arrest anybody, maybe we ought to talk.
41:41Is there some place a private we could go?
41:43Could I get a chalkboard, some chalk?
41:46Now, Rene was having an affair with Connie, either before or after he was married to her sister, Camille.
41:57Yeah.
41:58Which was either before or after Rene had an affair with Marissa.
42:03Which was during the same time Marissa was married to Keith Dunn.
42:07I was wondering how they had time to cook.
42:10What's worse is they all lie and contradict each other.
42:13I think it was Congress.
42:16Hey.
42:17I've got it.
42:18What is it?
42:24Yeah.
42:25I think I know what happened.
42:26Uh, can everyone gather around?
42:32It's important.
42:34I'm losing money.
42:34Every minute I stand here.
42:36Can't you ever think of anyone but yourself?
42:39Why would I?
42:41Is anybody else thinking about me?
42:43You know, if we could just focus here for a second, I think Dr. Sloan wants to say something.
42:47Thank you, Jesse.
42:49Let's start by talking about lies.
42:52Now, each one of you told a lie.
42:54Yes, you did.
42:55With one thing in common.
42:57You all lied about your personal lies.
43:01One exception.
43:03Keith Dunn lied about his business.
43:06That got me curious.
43:08So I asked my colleague, Dr. Travis, to do a little research.
43:13Keith, you said that your restaurant was doing well.
43:16But the truth is, that neighborhood had changed a lot.
43:20And your business was declining.
43:21Seriously.
43:23And on top of that, you were the sole owner.
43:25You were up to your neck in debt to some investors who wanted their money back.
43:29Where is this leading, Dr. Sloan?
43:31To the mysterious fire that burned your restaurant down.
43:35It was terrible.
43:37It was devastating.
43:39Oh, I doubt that.
43:40You collected that insurance money and left town.
43:44Your investors didn't get a dime.
43:46And you put every nickel of it into the cuisine shop.
43:50That little fire made you a fortune, didn't it, Keith?
43:52If you're insinuating that I had anything to do with that fire...
43:56I'm insinuating.
43:56I know you did.
43:58The authorities investigated that fire.
44:00And there was no evidence that it was anything but an accident.
44:06It was somewhat new, didn't it?
44:07Dr. Sloan, are you implying that Rene was black men and Keith?
44:14Well, the money was in Rene's trailer.
44:16It's a pretty obvious assumption, you know.
44:18Rene will never do that.
44:19He's just not the type.
44:21Yeah, I thought that too.
44:23So I had Steve do a little checking for me.
44:25There were no bank deposits to suggest that Rene had any source of income outside of his job.
44:30Well, I told you.
44:32And then I realized that there was somebody else who had access to Rene's trailer.
44:36Josh, you pretty much came and went as pleased, didn't you?
44:40I wasn't blackmailing anybody.
44:43Well, the money was in the trailer, and you had access to the trailer.
44:46And if Rene wasn't blackmailing anybody...
44:53No.
44:54It's true.
44:55He was.
44:55He was blackmailing me.
44:57Been blackmailing me for the last six months.
44:59Keith, shut up.
45:00No, no, I won't.
45:02He said Rene sent him.
45:04Josh said that Rene wanted everything handled through Josh.
45:07He said it was Rene.
45:08You lied.
45:09It was you.
45:12Well, Rene made me do it.
45:14He said he'd fire me if I didn't.
45:16Oh, wouldn't you know it.
45:17It's all the dead guy's fault.
45:19It's true.
45:20Okay, Josh, let's say that Rene was the brains behind the organization.
45:25You were just a dupe.
45:25After Rene died, why didn't you tell us about the blackmail?
45:30Well, I thought maybe...
45:33You thought maybe you'd take the money.
45:34I can understand that.
45:36But then after we found the money and you couldn't have it, why didn't you tell us that?
45:41I told you Josh was the blackmailer.
45:44Rene found out.
45:45Josh killed him.
45:46No.
45:48I thought so, too.
45:50But then I remember something Amanda said.
45:53Just minutes before Rene died, he was praising Josh and hoping that Connie and Camille wouldn't hire him away.
46:00That's true.
46:01So you were the one in the bathroom this time.
46:05Oh, well, that's no big deal.
46:07I mean, so what?
46:08I mean, Rene just didn't want to expose Josh yet.
46:12Possibly.
46:13But then there's still no matter of the gift basket.
46:16What gift basket?
46:18A gift basket that Keith took to Elliot's trailer.
46:21It was expensive, wasn't it, Elliot?
46:23If you like that sort of thing.
46:25Which you didn't.
46:27It was full of cheese and pate and red wine, foods that Elliot thinks are poison and would never eat.
46:34Never.
46:35Yeah.
46:37Keith knew that, too.
46:39But he also knew that cheese and pate and red wine was Rene's idea of heaven.
46:45I saw several bottles of that same expensive Bordeaux in his trailer.
46:49You're saying the basket was intended for Rene?
46:51Well, that's ridiculous.
46:52If Rene was blackmailing me, why would I bring him a gift basket?
46:56Oh, you weren't.
46:56The basket was just an excuse in case somebody saw you going in there.
47:01Because you knew after Rene died, we'd all be in there searching that trailer.
47:05You wanted to get your money back before anybody found it.
47:08Unfortunately for you, after the fire, all the trailers were moved to let the fire trucks in.
47:15They were all put back, but not in the same place.
47:19You went into Elliot's trailer thinking it was Rene's.
47:22I knew it.
47:23I knew you didn't care about me.
47:25You're going to replace me with those Japanese Gimzu chefs, hmm?
47:29As soon as I can.
47:31Dr. Sloan, your speculations are very entertaining.
47:35And if I weren't the subject, I'd applaud.
47:39But you can't prove any of it.
47:42You certainly can't prove that I killed Rene, and you can't prove that I was anywhere near that bottle of magic.
47:47Except for one thing.
47:50When the sprinklers came on, the magic bottle got wet.
47:55And when you switched the magic bottle for that one that was full of iodine...
47:59Josh, would you show us the palm of your right hand?
48:08Rene hand-colored all his own labels.
48:10And when Josh grabbed it, that wet dye came right up on his palm.
48:18Keith, could we see your right palm?
48:39Oh.
48:40He was a scoundrel.
49:04But he was worth every minute you spent with him.
49:07I don't know.
49:08Oh, I do.
49:09When you were with Rene, everything went from black and white to glorious technique color.
49:18You know, I can't think of one way my life was made better by just knowing him.
49:23But he lied to you.
49:25He lied to all of you.
49:26Oh.
49:27Well, I wouldn't say he lied.
49:30He just didn't tell each of us everything we wanted to know.
49:34But he didn't tell us what we needed to hear.
49:41He said he loved you, honey.
49:43He did.
49:45And what for you?
49:49A toast.
49:51To Rene Fontenot.
49:53One of a kind.
