00:00Sure, we both know Gallagher's a crook, but why do you have such an axe to grind?
00:05You really want to know?
00:07Tell me everything and start at the beginning.
00:09So this, private financial records.
00:11If there's a magic bullet to bring Sean Gallagher down, it's in here.
00:16Nighttime, an aerial view of a town.
00:18A view of a small house.
00:21In a living room, a bearded man, Evan, looking tipsy, rises from a couch.
00:25He notices a hooded figure carrying a laptop.
00:28What the hell are you doing?
00:30Where are you going?
00:31He grabs the person's hand and pushes them onto the couch.
00:34A second figure lifts a hammer.
00:37Daytime, an aerial view of St. Pierre.
00:41At Arch's home, in the war room, Fitz looks through some stacks of files and photos on the table.
00:47He stares at a photo of a black-haired, middle-aged woman of African descent.
00:53Fitz!
00:54Come look at this!
00:56In the living room, Arch stands surrounded by stacks of documents.
01:00Fitz enters the living room.
01:02What was the last time you slept?
01:03He approaches Arch, who's flipping through some documents.
01:07Some of your Gallagher intel predates your arrival in St. Pierre.
01:10Hey, you were investigating Gallagher back when you were in Paris.
01:15Why?
01:15These invoices they had discovered.
01:17Connect Gallagher to a shell company, Melmoth Holdings.
01:21Isn't that the company that was trying to buy Camille Prevon's Bogland?
01:24Melmoth has history with the law, in Europe and beyond.
01:27And, look at this.
01:30She hands him some papers.
01:32This is bail receipt for a weapons charge against Melmoth Holdings.
01:37Look at where all the wire transfers originated from.
01:40St. Pierre.
01:42Gallagher was in deep with weapons smugglers.
01:45I've got him, Fitz.
01:47Arch checks her phone.
01:50Oh, we gotta go to work.
01:51Arch leaves and Fitz follows her out.
01:53Now, a close view of a framed photo of Arch and the black-haired woman on the bookshelf.
02:00At the harbor.
02:02You need to see this.
02:04Over here.
02:06Bonjour, messieurs.
02:07In a shed.
02:09The guys were cleaning their catch and found this.
02:12Is that a finger?
02:13Afraid so.
02:14François, he's an old friend, called me right away.
02:17Okay, which one of you let the knife slip?
02:20Y'a quelqu'un qui m'ont qu'un doigt?
02:23I see it's not one of theirs.
02:25Arch puts on a glove and picks up the severed finger.
02:29That is so gross.
02:30Like a demented case of Cinderella.
02:34The finger's a glass slipper.
02:36We just hope that Cinderella is still alive.
02:38Credits appear.
02:39A CBC original.
02:41Paco Productions.
02:42In association with Fifth Season.
02:45Title appears St. Pierre.
02:47In the autopsy room, Natasha examines the finger through a magnifying glass.
02:51Missing finger.
02:53Well, that rarely has a happy ending.
02:55What could be as simple as like a, you know, boating accident or a fishing mishap at sea?
03:00Doesn't necessarily mean there's a body at the bottom of the ocean.
03:03Hmm.
03:04In my experience, when something like this happens, there's always more going on than it seems.
03:07I've seen cases of murder victims having their fingers removed to make IDing the body more difficult.
03:13Or impossible.
03:13That is bleak.
03:15Natasha, what do you make of the little guy?
03:17Well, it's fairly fresh.
03:18Granted, it was in the belly of a fish in the Atlantic Ocean.
03:21Coldness could preserve a body part for up to ten days.
03:24I would say, hmm, maybe a week.
03:27Removed peri or post-mortem?
03:29Well, I don't know that yet, Arch.
03:32Well, based on the coarseness of the skin, the hair, like you're male.
03:36Well, maybe you can lift a print.
03:39Anything to help us ID the owner?
03:40Yes, I will do all of that, okay?
03:42You know we're already at the hospital, so...
03:45So you want to go check upstairs and see if anyone came in to have a handgun treated?
03:49Yeah, go upstairs.
03:51The faster you go upstairs, the faster I get you answers.
03:53Got it.
03:54Now Fitz and Arch approach a nurse sitting behind a reception desk.
03:58Excusez-moi.
03:58Bonjour.
03:59Madame Cohen, c'est ça?
04:01Oui.
04:01Est-ce que vous parlez anglais?
04:03Yes, of course.
04:04Harper, please.
04:05We're looking for assistance in a case.
04:07It's a bit gruesome.
04:08Oh, believe me, I've seen it all.
04:10How can I help?
04:11Likely a male.
04:13Anyone who's been admitted in the last week or so with a missing finger.
04:16I haven't heard of anything, but I'll have a look for you.
04:19What exactly are you thinking here?
04:22I hate to sound like you, but...
04:26Yeah, I have a feeling there's something much bigger going on.
04:31Okay, well, let me guess.
04:32The cases with the missing fingers for ID purposes.
04:36You think Gallagher was involved?
04:39A hospital staff clocks in using a time clock.
04:41Sorry about the wait.
04:43Your punch clock's pretty old school.
04:45Is everything still analog around here?
04:46Yeah.
04:47Back in France, we can somehow centrally database 68 million people,
04:51but it doesn't quite work like that here.
04:52Yeah.
04:53Fitz notices Harper running her hand along her neckline.
04:56Too much coffee.
04:59Oh, trust me, I get it.
05:01He sees a photo of Harper with two nurses.
05:03Wow.
05:04Where do you find the time?
05:06The mobile nurses unit, right?
05:08You must be pretty busy.
05:09Not enough nurses.
05:10Not enough time.
05:11But we all do our part.
05:14Nothing about any patients missing any appendages of any kind, sorry.
05:17Appreciate your time.
05:18Call us if anyone happens to pop up.
05:20Harper watches Arch and Fitz leave.
05:22Later at the police station, Arch adds a photo of Gallagher to the crime board.
05:27Sean Gallagher is no stranger to doling out harsh punishments to people who cross him.
05:32A missing finger doesn't always mean what you think it means.
05:34Except when it does.
05:36We'll know more once we've tracked his recent movements.
05:38I checked around the marina.
05:40No reports of anyone missing a finger, at least not in the past month.
05:44Nearly have a fingerprint match.
05:46Some of the ridges are deteriorated, but the pattern's still quite distinct.
05:49Any hit is seconds away.
05:52Patty gives her tablet to Fitz.
05:56Evan Neils.
05:58I think I know that name.
06:00Evan had a DUI two years ago.
06:03Plead guilty, nothing since.
06:04Ah, I thought so.
06:06We're in a highlight league.
06:08Evan was the best backcourt player.
06:10We lost touch, but he's a handyman.
06:12Local odds job guy here.
06:15He does great work.
06:16It's, you know, sensible pricing.
06:17He's got good sanding ability, you know.
06:20Go see if the guy's missing a finger, or if there's any evidence of him swimming with the fishes.
06:24I want to be 100% sure what we're dealing with before we get the Coast Guard to start dragging the waters.
06:29Arch nods and leaves with Fitz.
06:31About a week's worth of mail here.
06:33Arch and Fitz are standing outside Evan's house.
06:35All addressed to our guy, Evan Neils.
06:38Utility bills, bank stuff.
06:41Oh, look at this.
06:42He sees a package containing a camera.
06:44This is so expensive-looking equipment to just leave out on a doorstep.
06:48A person runs out of a door.
06:50Is that the side door?
06:51The person wearing yellow sneakers darts into the alley.
06:54Well, go on.
06:55You should chase after him.
06:57Watch, see how fast he's running.
07:00Restez vigilant.
07:00On recherche un homme qui est parti en courant ruche en plein.
07:03Il parta sur un vêtement noir et vert et des chaussures jaune.
07:06Whoever he was, he was in a hurry.
07:08What if Evan's still inside?
07:09Inside Evan's house, Arch steps out of the kitchen and joins Fitz in the living room.
07:14Nothing downstairs.
07:16He's not here.
07:17She gives a pair of gloves to Fitz.
07:19In case...
07:20You mean if this is actually a crime scene?
07:24I'm getting real bachelor vibes.
07:26I feel like Evan lives alone.
07:27I see no photos of friends or family.
07:31Do you notice how clean the ground floor is in comparison?
07:34Yeah.
07:34The rest of the place is filthy.
07:37Arch retrieves a laptop charger from behind a table.
07:41Laptop lying in the socket.
07:42But no laptop.
07:43No sign of a wallet or a cell phone.
07:47Fitz discovers Evan's glasses under the couch.
07:50He looks through the lenses.
07:53These aren't readers.
07:55Look how strong they are.
07:57I'm guessing the guy can't see anything without him.
07:59So?
08:00What do you think?
08:02I think you're right.
08:04Something bad has happened to Evan.
08:06Now Fitz and Arch enter the bedroom and look around.
08:08Someone cleaned the living room but missed the glasses under the couch.
08:12Which tells us...
08:14If Evan was murdered, someone cleaned up in a hurry.
08:17If you're lucky, they left behind some fingerprints DNA.
08:21Well, look.
08:21These old booze crates back in the day.
08:24Rum runners used to leave them behind.
08:26And people used them to insulate their walls.
08:28All right.
08:29Your nerdy prohibition tour.
08:31Nerdy?
08:31Actually, my daughter tells me that nerdy is now cool.
08:35So I'll accept that.
08:37Arch picks through a clothes pile lying on the bed and holds up a bra.
08:42Fitz, this is a nursing bra.
08:45Oh, I'm aware.
08:46I've seen my fair share.
08:48My dad.
08:48Yeah.
08:49But Evan is not.
08:51Now Fitz and Arch exit Evan's house.
08:53We should check with the neighbors, see if they heard or saw anything.
08:58They look at the house next door.
09:00It's not there.
09:02They approach the house.
09:04Whatever you're selling, I'm buying.
09:06We're actually the police.
09:08And you are?
09:09Terrence Lozano.
09:12Sir, we're sleep training our daughter.
09:15It's my wife Christina's idea.
09:18I've been there, actually, twice.
09:20Do you know your neighbor, Evan?
09:23Yeah, of course.
09:24He's a bit intense, but I have to say, I really appreciate the way he helps around the house here.
09:29I work offshore on rigs, so it's really hard on my wife, especially with the baby.
09:33Have you seen Evan in the past seven days or so?
09:37No, but I just got back in town a couple days ago.
09:40Why?
09:41No one has seen or heard from him, so we're just asking neighbors.
09:44We're going to need to speak to your wife Christina, ask her a few questions.
09:47Yeah, she's at a Zen yoga class.
09:50One of those sisters doing it for themselves kind of thing.
09:53Arch and Fitz share a look.
09:56I'm going to have to go upstairs.
09:58Don't pick her up.
09:59Yeah.
10:00Later in Arch's car.
10:02And we get a hit on the guy we saw running away from Evan's house?
10:05Not yet.
10:06But do you think Evan, our henderman, was, um, handy with Terrence's wife?
10:13They just had a baby in the nurse and bride in Evan's room.
10:16Do you think Terrence knows?
10:18He didn't flinch at the mention of Evan's name.
10:20So if there was an affair, I mean if, I think Terrence was oblivious.
10:24Arch answers her phone.
10:26Natasha, you're on speaker.
10:28I finished the finger autopsy.
10:30They, wait, do you call it an autopsy if it's just a finger?
10:33Anyways, um, contracted blood vessels revealed.
10:36It was bitten off and ingested post-mortem.
10:39Post-mortem, so with that info, plus everything we found at the victim's house.
10:43I think it's safe to call this a homicide.
10:46Okay, thank you, Natasha.
10:47Okay.
10:49Was Terrence lying to us, or was he actually out in the middle of the Atlantic Ocean on an oil rig?
10:55We need to check his alibi.
10:57But you know who wasn't?
10:59On an oil rig.
11:00His wife, Christina Lozano.
11:04Now Arch and Fitz come out of their car parked outside an old building saying karate on it.
11:10Does this look very zen to you?
11:12Arch checks her phone.
11:14Oh, Panko.
11:15If that's your mother calling, I think you should get it.
11:17She's probably wanting to talk about the message I left her yesterday.
11:21But it's not a call I can finish now, so...
11:23She pockets her phone and follows Fitz inside the building.
11:25Now in a dark hallway.
11:29Fitz, what the hell is going on here?
11:31I don't know.
11:32Arch and Fitz turn on their flashlights and look around as they approach a door.
11:40What the...
11:41A woman leg sweeps Arch to the ground.
11:44Ah!
11:44Ah!
11:45A person swings Fitz's arm behind him and pushes him down.
11:51Everyone stand down!
11:54Sorry, guys.
11:55What the hell?
11:56Simone?
11:56I run a self-defense class.
11:58Full sensory, so the women are caught off guard like in real life.
12:00And they tackled us because...
12:02We hired bad guys to sneak in.
12:04Sorry we didn't see it was you.
12:06Hey, these are trained cops.
12:09Your hard work has paid off.
12:11Good job, Christina and Renee.
12:14Christina Lozano?
12:16Yes?
12:17We need a word.
12:18Fitz and Arch follow Christina to a corner of the room.
12:22What's your relationship with Evan Nils?
12:24He's my neighbor.
12:26Why do you ask?
12:27Arch pulls out the bra.
12:29Lose something?
12:30Uh...
12:31Where...
12:32Where did you get that?
12:33Oh, we found it.
12:34In Evan's bedroom.
12:36Ew.
12:37He must have taken it when he fixed my dryer.
12:40What a creep.
12:41It's the last time I hire him.
12:43You're 100% correct about that.
12:45Evan's dead.
12:46Christina looks puzzled.
12:48We spoke to your husband earlier.
12:50Terrence?
12:51The bra didn't come up.
12:52He also told us you were at a yoga class.
12:56Oh, I...
12:56I didn't want to tell him.
12:57I was at a self-defense class.
12:59Worry him.
13:01Are you in danger?
13:02Me?
13:03Oh, no, no.
13:04No.
13:05Not at all.
13:05I, um...
13:06I'm at home with our daughter.
13:08All day.
13:09It's just...
13:09It's nice to feel like myself again.
13:12And I've made some really good friends here.
13:15Tell us what you know about Evan.
13:17Any details of his life.
13:18Um, he did some work for us, but I didn't know much about him, really.
13:24Oh, there was that guy who came knocking on his door, shouting and swearing.
13:28He woke me and the baby.
13:30Evan apologized the next day.
13:31Any idea who it was?
13:32He explained that it was the guy that was suing him.
13:35Uh, Ray Patel, I think.
13:39Evan seemed really scared.
13:41Later at the police station in the bullpen.
13:44We believe Evan Nils was killed in his home.
13:47Our working time of death is last Tuesday.
13:50Forensics are scouring the scene.
13:51Luminol shows a small splatter of blood on the living room floor.
13:54They sent preliminary images.
13:57Traces of hydrogen peroxide and peroxidic acids were found on surfaces in the living room.
14:02The murderer was serious about trying to clean up.
14:04So you're telling me we have no body, just a finger in a nearly pristine living room?
14:08Coroner believes Evan's body was disposed of in the ocean.
14:11Do we have any suspects?
14:12Digging to see if anyone had a problem with Evan or if we can connect him to...
14:18Renouf, any word on Gallagher's whereabouts?
14:22He was in Dublin.
14:23And how do you know that?
14:25I checked with Air Traffic Control and Customs and he was away during the window of opportunity.
14:30We got a lead from Evan's neighbor, Christina Lozano.
14:37Ray Patel and Evan had beef.
14:39I spoke with the jurist's assistant from the district court.
14:42Evan Nils and Ray Patel were in the midst of a civil suit.
14:45I mean, damages were pretty significant.
14:46Over 200k.
14:47And according to Christina Lozano, Ray Patel threatened Evan.
14:51Ray could have returned.
14:52Evan let him in.
14:53Things went south.
14:54He cleans up, dumps the body.
14:56Homicide cases without bodies are catnip for defense lawyers.
14:58We need to find Evan's body.
15:00Double check the ring cameras on Evan's street and any CCTV.
15:03Somebody must have been in and out of that house.
15:04Fitz, you and me are on Ray Patel.
15:06Patty, please, can you verify that Terrence Lozano was on his rig at the estimated time of death?
15:11Another suspect?
15:12Well, we think that Terrence's wife, Christina, was having an affair with the Vic.
15:15So Terrence could have gone over and confronted Evan.
15:18All right, let's go.
15:20Now Arch and Fitz exit their car parked outside the garage of a house
15:23which has a blue tarp covering its roof.
15:28They enter the garage and find Ray Bench pressing in yellow sneakers.
15:31Don't even think about running again.
15:40This is a nice place.
15:42Well, the handyman messed up my roof, so I had to move in here.
15:45Evan Nils, we saw you on his property.
15:49Why did you run away?
15:50Um, Iron Man?
15:52I'm suing him for reparations.
15:55And he missed our final court date.
15:56So you confronted him.
15:58He owes me.
16:00Did you kill Evan Nils?
16:01Ray lowers his water bottle.
16:03He's dead?
16:05Look, Evan was an asshole, but he didn't kill anyone.
16:08How would that get me my money back?
16:09Hmm.
16:11We're gonna need your whereabouts for Tuesday.
16:13Ray picks up a journal.
16:15Look, I document everything.
16:18I ran with my running group, food prepped, in bed by nine, alone.
16:22That's what we call a weak alibi, right?
16:25It is what it is.
16:26I'm in training on a strict regimen.
16:28Is this your gym bag?
16:29Arch puts on a glove and pulls out a hammer from a gym bag.
16:33There's blood all over this.
16:35What?
16:36Oh.
16:37It's an odd place to keep a hammer.
16:39That's totally not mine.
16:40I have no idea how that got in there.
16:42Repetal, you're going to need to come with us.
16:45Later in the interrogation room.
16:47I'm not saying anything until my lawyer's here.
16:49And for the record, I don't even own a hammer.
16:51That's why I hired a handyman.
16:52A woman with a bob haircut enters.
16:54Danny G, Mr. Patel's counsel.
16:56Anyone want to explain to me what's going on here?
16:58Ray was in possession of a possible murder weapon.
17:01Possible.
17:02Keyword in that sentence.
17:04Do you guys have a search warrant?
17:05Oh, we don't need one when the item is in plain sight.
17:07And DNA will tell us very quickly if it's indeed the murder weapon.
17:11You sure you don't want to tell us anything, Ray?
17:14Mr. Patel let you into his home in good faith.
17:17This isn't a good look, guys.
17:20Who's the victim?
17:21Evan Niels.
17:22We were just in court with him.
17:24Yeah, so you'll understand our interest in your client.
17:27Besides, Ray admitted to fleeing the scene earlier today.
17:30Danny gives a look to Ray.
17:32What is the estimated time of death?
17:34Last week, somewhere between Tuesday and Wednesday.
17:36So, a week after an alleged murder, you saw a celebrated triathlete in training mode on a neighborhood jog.
17:45That's what I'm hearing.
17:46She's good.
17:48Ray has motive means an opportunity to have committed this murder.
17:52Besides, your alibi is non-existent, buddy.
17:55The evidence is circumstantial at best.
17:58Anyone could have planted that hammer.
18:00His garage doesn't have a lock on it.
18:01And let me just ask, is there an actual body?
18:05As for motive, let me be clear.
18:07I was about to clinch the case against Mr. Niels.
18:09So, why would my client risk losing out on the windfall?
18:12Our colleagues are canvassing the neighborhood.
18:15If there's so much as a frame from CCTV that places Mr. Patel at events last Tuesday.
18:20That is a conversation we will have when it's not a hypothetical.
18:23We're leaving now.
18:24Ray exits with Danny.
18:27Later in the bullpen.
18:28Danny G is a heavy-hitter defense lawyer.
18:32Why is she working a rental-gone-wrong civil case?
18:34No videos or eyewitnesses had anyone entering Evan's place any time last Tuesday.
18:38And the victim himself arrived home at 1822.
18:41And the Coast Guard was searching as best they can.
18:44Nobody.
18:44If the body was properly anchored, it could be at the bottom of the ocean.
18:48If it wasn't, a week at sea with this current.
18:51It could be in Peru by now.
18:52What about Terrence Lozano's alibi?
18:54His site supervisor confirmed he's been at sea the past couple of months.
18:57Can't be our guy.
18:59What are you thinking?
19:00Ray Patel.
19:02Say he takes the hammer he bashes Evan Neal's head in.
19:05Is he stupid enough to leave the bloody murder weapon in his own gym bag?
19:08Maybe.
19:09In my experience, when a suspect comes in this hot...
19:11Feels like a frame job.
19:13So, Occam's razor says...
19:16The simpler of two competing theories is usually the right one.
19:20Renuff, Occam's razor...
19:21I don't...
19:21I have no idea what that is.
19:23Keep things simple.
19:24Ray is as simple as the case gets.
19:26Evan's financials.
19:27Evan's financials.
19:28He was in arrears on his house.
19:29He was going into foreclosure?
19:31Until a couple months ago, when he suddenly started making cash deposits into his account and his mortgage payments restarted.
19:38But any man, they get paid cash, so it's common, no?
19:41True, but I spoke to his bank manager.
19:44Evan asked if they do appraisals.
19:46And he had some high-valued items he wanted to move.
19:48What kind of items?
19:49The manager said he never made it back in.
19:53So probably still at his place.
19:55At Evan's house, Fitz and Arch pass under the police tape and enter the bedroom.
20:01Fitz stares at the crate wall.
20:03Arch.
20:04Arch, the booze crates.
20:06I know, I know.
20:07Just hear me out.
20:08Back in the day, people would leave access points in them.
20:11So they could stuff them with paper, insulation, that kind of thing in the winter.
20:17Great place to hide something.
20:19Fitz pulls at a crate.
20:21Huh?
20:22He pulls it out with Arch's help.
20:25Well, something finally came from your rum-running obsession.
20:28Uh-huh.
20:29He pulls out a cloth sack from the crate.
20:32He takes out jewelry boxes from the sack.
20:34What's he doing with all this?
20:38Heirlooms?
20:39He finds a necklace and a watch.
20:41Some of them look new.
20:43Okay, so theft?
20:44He was stealing from his clients?
20:46If he stole the wrong thing from the wrong person.
20:48Fitz finds a golden wedding band and a ring box.
20:51Look at this ring.
20:53He shows it to Arch.
20:55I saw one that matches it.
20:59You know where?
21:00Now at Christina's house.
21:02Where was it?
21:02Evan's.
21:04Another theft from you?
21:06My bra and my wedding ring?
21:08This guy's a serious problem.
21:10Hey, are we out of wipes?
21:12Top of the linen closet.
21:13Recognize any of these?
21:16Um.
21:17Christina takes Arch's tablet and swipes through photos of some jewelry, a watch, and a St. Agatha pendant.
21:23No.
21:24No, I don't think so.
21:25She gives the tablet back to Arch.
21:28What if we told you that, well, we had access to Evan's doorbell cam.
21:32How would you react to that?
21:36Will we see your late night visits while your husband was away?
21:40Christina looks to the stairs.
21:41Please, keep your voices down.
21:47It happened once.
21:49Okay.
21:50We had flirted a little bit, and I snuck over there one night.
21:55While my daughter was asleep, I brought her monitor with me.
21:58And as soon as she woke up, I threw my dress on and I went back home.
22:01I must have left my bra.
22:03Then.
22:03If evidence points to your involvement in Evan's murder, Terrence will find out.
22:10There was one stupid mistake.
22:16Please.
22:17Now inside Arch's car.
22:20Do we have Evan's doorbell cam?
22:22Oh, I don't even think he has one.
22:24Oh, sneaky sneaky.
22:26I did undercover for a long time.
22:28I know how to pull a bluff when I need to.
22:29Learning more about you every day.
22:31Fitz looks at the pendant.
22:32St. Agatha.
22:34The patron saint of...
22:36Nurses.
22:38He flips the pendant over.
22:40The inscription's a K.
22:42You think Nurse Gohan's?
22:45How many Nurse K's can there be in St. Pierre?
22:47If it is her, that means Evan's stealing from Harper, too.
22:50Fitz looks at his phone.
22:51The forensic report tells us that the cleaning agent used at Evan's was some top-shelf stuff.
22:58Hospital-grade.
22:59Something else to bring up with Nurse Gohan.
23:01Arch starts her car and drives off.
23:05At the hospital, Arch holds up the pendant for Harper to see.
23:10How did you ever news had it?
23:12Along with a number of other keepsakes he apparently stole.
23:15Scroll through there.
23:17See if there's anything else you might recognize.
23:19Harper swipes through the photos on Arch's tablet.
23:23No.
23:24None of this is mine.
23:25Just my St. Agatha.
23:26Thank you for finding it.
23:28I thought I'd never see it again.
23:30It was my grandmother's.
23:31She was a nurse, too.
23:33Evan must have stolen it when he put up my shelves.
23:36So you've arrested him.
23:37Remember that finger we found from earlier?
23:41That was Evan's?
23:42He was murdered.
23:43The killer used an industrial hospital cleaner to wipe up the scene.
23:47So you think I killed him because he stole my necklace?
23:51Well, not just any necklace, though.
23:52You said it represented your family legacy?
23:54Yeah, but I wouldn't kill anyone over it.
23:57Besides, I was on the clock last Tuesday.
24:00Great.
24:01And I'm sure your time card will reflect that.
24:05Have a nice day.
24:05Fitz ushers Arch away.
24:07What was that?
24:08I had no questions.
24:09We didn't mention the day that Evan went missing.
24:12But Harper said Tuesday.
24:14Nice catch.
24:15You're not as good as me.
24:16Yeah, you are.
24:17I'm usually a professor.
24:19Let's go check her alibi.
24:21Fitz and Arch leave.
24:23Later at the police station,
24:24Marguerite, sitting in the bullpen,
24:25stares at the crime board.
24:28Marguerite?
24:29Marguerite stands up.
24:30How can we help you?
24:32Alors, c'est vrai.
24:33Evan a été tuée.
24:34We can't disclose any information
24:36about an ongoing investigation.
24:37Il a laissé ses outils au motel.
24:39Evan?
24:40He did hard jobs for me.
24:42I've heard the rumors.
24:44Evan wasn't a thief.
24:47These are used for installing electronics,
24:49like security cameras.
24:52Renuff picks up a tool.
24:53Oh.
24:55I could use this.
24:56No.
24:58Put it back.
24:59Did Evan install cameras at the motel?
25:01Our motel isn't exactly high-tech.
25:04There was that box of surveillance equipment
25:06on Evan's doorstep.
25:08Where did Evan work last?
25:09Minor repairs in room 209.
25:13Be my guest.
25:13Marguerite tosses Fitz the master key.
25:16Now at the motel,
25:17Arch and Fitz enter a room.
25:20A montage of Arch and Fitz
25:22searching the lamps,
25:23looking behind the wall paintings,
25:24the TV screen,
25:25and the bathroom mirror,
25:26searching under the bathroom sink,
25:28and looking behind the shower curtain.
25:29Everything looks on the up and up.
25:35All right.
25:36Let's try something else.
25:38Fitz turns off the lights.
25:40Fitz and Arch wave their flashlights about.
25:43Arch sees a tiny glint of a reflection
25:45in a wall hook rack
25:46as the light hits a lens.
25:49Fitz, look.
25:53Arch and Fitz approach the rack.
25:55Arch pulls out the rack
25:58and sees a tiny security camera behind it.
26:01He had a camera in this motel room?
26:03Ah, Evan.
26:05What were you up to?
26:07And is this what got you killed?
26:09Fitz turns off his flashlight.
26:10So, Evan was a thief and a dirtbag.
26:16Definitely a dirtbag.
26:17He had a large cloud-based video storage subscription,
26:20which I've gained access to.
26:22Look.
26:23These are all from individual video feeds.
26:26Looks like Evan installed cameras
26:28in his clients' homes.
26:29What, you think you know a guy?
26:31Evan was spying on people.
26:33Faking a neck injury.
26:35Watering down the liquor?
26:37Arch, just look at the dates
26:40on those deposits
26:41in comparison to the dates on these videos.
26:45They are within days of each other.
26:47Evan was spying and extorting.
26:49The videos started soon after Evan got noticed
26:51that the bank would foreclose on his house.
26:53The valuables we found were not stolen.
26:55They were payoffs,
26:56so Evan wouldn't release the videos.
26:58That's some motive to kill.
27:00All right, so how do we narrow down our suspects?
27:03Patty, can you check and see
27:04if there's a file there for Harper Cohen?
27:06She just happened to know the Dave
27:08and was presumably murdered.
27:09The files aren't named.
27:11I still have many more to go through,
27:13but let me see.
27:15Patty plays a video of Ray injecting himself.
27:19Stop, stop, stop.
27:21That's Ray.
27:22Question.
27:23Are steroids legal in St. Pierre?
27:26Absolutely not.
27:27Especially in competitive sports.
27:29So it looks like Mr. Iron Man
27:31has a motive after all.
27:32Now in Ray's garage.
27:34Evan sure as hell tried to extort me,
27:36but I called his bluff,
27:37turned the tables on him.
27:38How?
27:38Told him I'd report him to the police
27:40for secretly videotaping me,
27:41using growth hormones.
27:43Which is a banned substance.
27:44Look, I'd maybe get a slap on the wrist.
27:47If it made it into the official's hands.
27:49Worst case.
27:50That's why you were at Evan's.
27:52You were trying to find the tape.
27:53That's exactly why.
27:54Maybe.
27:55But, like my lawyer said,
27:58you've nothing on me.
27:59And this isn't worth killing for.
28:03Now, do I need to call her to come down here?
28:04At the police station.
28:06As you would say,
28:07I am not feeling it.
28:08Yeah, Ray's guilty of enhancing his performance,
28:10but I don't think he's guilty of murder.
28:11So who secreted Evan uncover
28:13that was worth killing over?
28:14Something I want to ask you about your mother.
28:26Okay, guys.
28:28I went through all the tapes.
28:29What people get up to behind closed doors
28:31is...
28:33Yikes.
28:34Please tell me Evan didn't record their
28:36one-night stand.
28:37One night?
28:38Hardly.
28:40I mean, the guy has videos of him and Christina
28:42going back for months.
28:43Gross.
28:44Christina's alibi always felt weak to me.
28:47Trust me, there's a lot you can get up to
28:49while a newborn is sleeping.
28:50And if they were truly together,
28:53she could have been back and forth
28:54to Evan's place all the time
28:56without anyone noticing.
28:58But is she strong enough
28:59to move a dead body, though?
29:00She had an easy enough time dropping you.
29:03Ha-ha.
29:04But you're right.
29:05I don't think she could move a dead weight.
29:07Fitz thinks and looks at Arch.
29:10Unless...
29:10She was working with someone else.
29:12Patty, show us more videos.
29:15No, leave that row.
29:17Patty plays a video of Harper entering a bedroom.
29:20Stop it.
29:22That's Harper Cohen.
29:25Zoom in and play it.
29:26Harper pulls out drugs from her scrub's pocket.
29:29And those aren't over-the-counter meds.
29:31Harper was stealing drugs from the hospital.
29:33Those two have been lying to us from the start.
29:36It's time to bring these women in.
29:40Later in the interrogation room,
29:41Harper, sitting across from Fitz,
29:42taps her foot.
29:44Years of undercover work.
29:46Mostly working with drug addicts.
29:48Harper tries to appear calm.
29:51I can spot one when I see one.
29:53Harper exposes her arms.
29:55There are some almost healed bruises on her forearm.
29:58Do you see any drugs?
29:59No.
30:00Harper's foot continues tapping.
30:03She clasps her hands.
30:05You're fidgeting.
30:07Your general state of anxiety.
30:11You're doing them for something.
30:14We know you were stealing meds from the hospital.
30:16You saw it on Evan's videos.
30:19And you're St. Agatha medallion.
30:21That was worth more than you let on.
30:26Did you use it to pay Evan off?
30:30I'm guessing your work was the medical mobile unit.
30:33That must be how you got your pills.
30:35Because you would be able to get a prescription
30:37that would raise a flag at work.
30:40Not saying anything.
30:42In the interview room.
30:44Were you aware that Evan was recording your encounters?
30:48Arch is sitting across from Christina.
30:50Not until much later.
30:53That must have been hard.
30:55Of course.
30:57At first we were just a situation ship.
31:01But then it grew, you know.
31:02I was lonely.
31:05And Evan was sweet.
31:07Until he wasn't so sweet.
31:10Now in the interrogation room.
31:11You offered an alibi for the night of Evan's murder.
31:15Unprompted.
31:16How did you know it was Tuesday?
31:18I was guessing.
31:21Fitz opens a file, takes out a time clock card,
31:23and places it in front of Harper.
31:27Your time card shows that you punched in that night,
31:30but no one saw you on your shift.
31:32Harper, looking anxious, shrugs.
31:38Fitz slides a photo of Christina towards Harper.
31:40Why am I looking at this?
31:45Christina Lozano.
31:46Both of you have been cagey with us from the start.
31:51You were both being extorted by Evan.
31:54You had videos.
31:55Could have ruined your lives.
31:57Now in the interview room.
31:58When I ended it, he wouldn't accept it.
32:02But I love my husband.
32:04I do.
32:06So the extortion began?
32:09Evan was going to send the videos to Terrence.
32:13So what?
32:14You tried to pay him off?
32:16First my ring.
32:17But that wasn't enough for Evan.
32:20The money.
32:20I didn't know what to do, okay?
32:24I felt like I was going to lose my husband.
32:28My family.
32:29My life.
32:32As disgusting as what Evan did.
32:37What you're describing, Christina,
32:39is a clear-cut motive.
32:41Now in the interrogation room.
32:43She is in the next room with my partner right now.
32:46She's telling her side of the story.
32:49If the two of you killed him,
32:52now's your chance to tell us yours.
32:55Harper shakes her head.
32:57We barely know each other.
32:59We're not saying anything else.
33:01Now in the bullpen.
33:02If neither one of them are talking,
33:04we can only hold them for a couple hours.
33:06We need hard evidence.
33:07But what about the others?
33:09There are a lot of other victims
33:10who may have wanted Evan dead.
33:12No, there's something there with Harper and Christina.
33:15And we think we have a theory
33:17on how they move the body.
33:19Harper works with the mobile nurses unit.
33:21Their vehicles are equipped with wheelchairs.
33:23Wheelchairs.
33:23Believe it or not,
33:24they both deactivated their socials last Wednesday.
33:28Not suspicious at all.
33:29Well, they do live pretty close to each other.
33:30Check the stores, any CCTV,
33:32and anywhere else they might have crossed.
33:34When I was with Harper just now,
33:35she had these bruises on her arm.
33:38They looked a lot like this.
33:41Fitz exposes his bruises.
33:43I know where you got those.
33:45Later in the karate building.
33:46Do you recognize this woman?
33:48Does she take your class?
33:49Yeah, it's Harper.
33:51Does she spend much time with Christina Lozano?
33:54Oh, yeah.
33:55Two of the three amigas.
33:56Wait.
33:57What, three?
33:58Two are friends since high school.
34:00They kind of took Christina under their wing
34:02when she started coming here after the baby.
34:04Simone scrolls through her phone
34:05and hands it to Fitz.
34:07Fitz and Arch look at Simone's phone.
34:10Christina Harper.
34:12Danny G.
34:13A group photo of Christina, Harper, and Danny smiling.
34:19Your client's no longer a suspect.
34:22He's had enough of us.
34:24It's a breach of conduct for a lawyer
34:25to sleep with a client.
34:27Arch shows Danny a video of her and Ray being intimate.
34:31You're this big, hot shot, successful defense attorney.
34:36They were thinking...
34:37If you were involved in a murder,
34:38you'd be an expert on how to get away with it.
34:41Is that all you got?
34:43An illegal recording that's inadmissible in court
34:46and a guess that I'd be good at it?
34:49We know how close you all are
34:50and what you could lose
34:52if Evan's extortion videos came out.
34:55Your self-defense instructor told us
34:57how helpful you were to Christina,
35:00you and Harper,
35:00getting her through a real tough postpartum.
35:03Your bank records show you paid
35:05for two stints at a rehab clinic,
35:07but you were never a patient.
35:09Harper Cohen was.
35:11So we're friends.
35:13That is not a crime.
35:15Your phone records.
35:16Have a look.
35:18Hundreds of calls.
35:19Hundreds.
35:20Between you, Harper, and Christina
35:21in the weeks leading up to Evan's murder.
35:23And nothing on the night of his death.
35:26Because you were together.
35:28Circumstantial evidence
35:29to pin a homicide that you can't solve
35:32on three innocent women.
35:35It's classy.
35:36What about Harper's mobile medical vehicle?
35:40It's being processed.
35:42You should sit tight.
35:43Wait for the results.
35:44Patty enters and motions
35:47for Fitz and Arch to follow her.
35:50In the bullpen,
35:51Patty gives her tablet to Fitz.
35:53Evan's DNA was found
35:54in Harper's medical vehicle.
35:56His hair, traces of blood.
35:58They were still all in on it together.
36:00I know it.
36:02Harper enters the bullpen.
36:04It was me.
36:06I acted alone.
36:07I'm ready to confess.
36:09What are you doing, Harper?
36:10Stop.
36:11I'm confessing,
36:12but you need to ask her to leave.
36:14Harper, now.
36:15Please.
36:19Okay, okay.
36:20Danny is escorted away.
36:22Why don't we have a little chat?
36:23Later, in the interrogation room.
36:26It was me.
36:27I acted alone.
36:28I refused counsel.
36:30Evan had tapes of me stealing drugs.
36:33He was blackmailing me and my friends,
36:35and it had to stop.
36:36I went to his place,
36:37tried to reason with him.
36:38I offered him access to the hospital pharmacy.
36:41He was interested,
36:42invited me in.
36:44Flashback,
36:44Christina in black hoodie,
36:45hugs Evans.
36:46He suggested a different arrangement.
36:50Flashback,
36:51Christina leads Evan into the kitchen.
36:53He turned his back,
36:53and I drunk his drink.
36:55Flashback,
36:55Christina adds liquid to a drink.
36:57She lets Harper into the kitchen.
37:00Thought I'd grab all the evidence he had on us.
37:03Flashback,
37:03Harper wearing a black hoodie,
37:05searches the kitchen and collects a laptop.
37:08I didn't account for his cloud storage.
37:12Flashback,
37:12Evan looking tipsy is lying on the couch.
37:14I guess I didn't give him the correct dosage,
37:17because he awoke.
37:18Evan rises from the couch and sees Christina carrying the laptop.
37:22He grabs her hand as she tries to run.
37:24He came after me.
37:27He was ugly and scary.
37:29I grabbed the closest thing in hand.
37:32Harper grabs a hammer.
37:33Danny enters and takes the hammer.
37:35Bash his head.
37:36Flashback,
37:37Danny strikes the hammer and Evan collapses.
37:40Danny and Harper look horrified.
37:42It was all so fast,
37:43so unplanned.
37:45And then,
37:46I had to work fast.
37:47I put him in my car,
37:48and I grabbed the cleaning supplies,
37:50and I cleaned up all the blood.
37:52And then,
37:52I dumped his body in the ocean.
37:54A laptop.
37:55Hard drive, too.
37:56Flashback,
37:57Danny,
37:57Harper,
37:57and Christina exit Evan's house.
37:59That was it.
38:01Back in the interrogation room.
38:02Why did you keep the murder weapon?
38:05Framing Ray Patel was my plan B.
38:07When you came and you asked me questions,
38:08I got scared,
38:09and so I hid the hammer in Ray's garage.
38:13Everyone knew Ray and Evan hated each other.
38:16It's a great story, Harper,
38:18but we don't believe that you did this alone.
38:20Harper smiles and shrugs as tears flow down her cheek.
38:23You can believe what you want to.
38:25You're seriously willing to
38:28throw your life away for these women?
38:31Harper smiles softly and looks at Arch.
38:34Fitz glances at Arch,
38:35who looks disappointed.
38:37Later in the bullpen,
38:39Marcus looks on while a police officer escorts Harper
38:41as she approaches Danny and Christina.
38:44Harper hugs Christina.
38:45She's protecting them.
38:47Christina keeps her family,
38:49Danny,
38:49her career.
38:51Harper has a chance of getting clean inside, maybe?
38:53It's okay.
38:54A scumbag spends eternity at the bottom of the ocean.
38:59Maybe it's a kind of justice.
39:01Arch, Fitz, Marcus, Renuff, Patty, Danny, and Christina
39:04watch as Harper is led away.
39:06Fitz and Arch walk down the hallway.
39:12At the bar.
39:14Sometimes these wins are hard,
39:15but thanks to Harper's directions,
39:17we now know where to search for Evan's body,
39:18though I'm inclined to leave it in its watery grave.
39:20Yeah, those women?
39:22Their bond?
39:23Would you help
39:24a friend bury your body?
39:26Patty, what are you trying to tell us?
39:29I...
39:29Not me?
39:30No,
39:30none of my friends are worth my freedom.
39:34Yeah, I remember that.
39:35Yeah, yeah,
39:35we'll be sure to tell your friends.
39:38Fitz?
39:39I don't know.
39:40It depends on the friend.
39:42Arch's phone displays
39:4330 missed messages from Maman.
39:46Arch gets up
39:46and heads to the bar.
39:47Excuse me.
39:51One other beer, please.
39:53You, uh,
39:54you had a lot of texts.
39:56Yeah.
39:57Your mom must really want to speak to you.
40:01Merci.
40:01Arch grabs her drink.
40:03I saw a photo of your mother
40:05in with all your Gallagher files.
40:08Hmm.
40:09Is she involved?
40:10Okay.
40:14Gallagher
40:15is the reason
40:16why my mother
40:17saved time in jail.
40:19He loaned her money
40:20for her business
40:21and it turned out
40:22to be dirty.
40:24She was too afraid
40:25to turn him in.
40:26Oh.
40:28So Gallagher's criminal shit
40:30costs your mother
40:31her business
40:32and her freedom.
40:34Yeah.
40:35That's why I'm going
40:36to take him down.
40:38I told her
40:39I'm going to get her
40:41the justice
40:41she deserves.
40:45Fitz raises his glass.
40:46Let's nail that bastard.
40:49Arch clinks her glass
40:50with Fitz's
40:50and they both smile.
40:53Nighttime,
40:53an aerial view
40:54of St. Pierre.
40:56Later,
40:57Arch enters her house
40:58and looks ahead.
40:59The black-haired woman,
41:01Maman,
41:01turns around.
41:06Arch looks at Maman.
