00:00All right, see you next game. Bye, guys. Bye.
00:30Bye.
01:00Sweetheart, it's me.
01:07Listen.
01:11Stay away from me! Stay away from me!
01:16Mom's outside. She tried to follow me in her car.
01:19Stay with you. Stay with you.
01:20You have your practice?
01:21Yeah.
01:23Maria!
01:26Maria!
01:27Don't you show your face around here again!
01:35I'm her mother.
01:36I don't care.
01:37Don't you ever try to ambush my daughter like that again.
01:40Yeah, yeah, my daughter.
01:42You left.
01:46Where the hell are you?
01:47Here.
01:57Hello?
02:02Is someone there?
02:04Is someone there?
02:27Hello?
02:29Who's there?
02:39I really like your place.
02:41How come we're always at mine?
02:43Hmm.
02:44Because you keep touching my stuff.
02:46Well, you know, it's hard to drink from a glass unless you touch it.
02:49I mean, I can always bring mine, but I really don't like this one.
02:53Yeah, my Corfu classes.
02:55I used to have two.
02:57You went to Corfu?
02:58Yeah, years ago, back when I was in grad school.
03:00You and your sorority chums?
03:02Carl, can you see me in a sorority?
03:04Well, you know, maybe I squint a little?
03:07No, I, uh, I went with Terrence.
03:10He was my thesis advisor.
03:12Also, my boyfriend, if I can use that word.
03:16Um, he was a little older.
03:18Oh.
03:19Hmm.
03:20Was he the one?
03:21When we first met, you said that you'd come close to getting married once.
03:25I believe I said close-ish.
03:27How much older?
03:29Too much.
03:30Yeah.
03:32It has been washed a thousand times, Alberg.
03:35You are not gonna find any fingerprints.
03:37Sorry, you know, you invited a detective to dinner.
03:40Yeah, you look at my place like it's a riddle to be solved.
03:43Big picture first, then details.
03:45Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
03:47Is there anything out of place?
03:49Anything that wasn't here before?
03:56Wow.
04:01You're good.
04:05It's yours.
04:06Seriously?
04:07Mm-hmm.
04:08I saw the way that you looked at it at the art fair.
04:11It shouldn't have.
04:12How much was it?
04:13It's your mom's, and it's you.
04:15I don't know what to say.
04:17It's obviously the summer that you spent on the beach with your mom at Half Moon Bay.
04:22But the man with his hands in his pockets.
04:29Who's that?
04:30Your father?
04:32I live in your home.
04:35That's not what I asked.
04:36He's called the Creeper.
04:46He wears one of those, like, monk hoodie things.
04:50A cowl?
04:51Yes, a cowl!
04:53One night every month he creeps out to clean up Lauren Park's shrine and leave flowers.
04:58Why?
04:59I don't know.
05:00It's a legend.
05:03Every month since Lauren died.
05:05That's like 25 years, 300 months all, without fail.
05:11Holly.
05:12Yeah?
05:14Oh!
05:15You loser!
05:16You speak so easy!
05:17You can't wait for me.
05:24Morning.
05:25Someone had a good weekend?
05:27Vanessa?
05:28Mmm, maybe I'm just high on life.
05:33So?
05:34What are you fixated on?
05:36Just an email.
05:38Oh.
05:40My LSAT results.
05:42Let's not talk about it, okay?
05:44Oh, crap.
05:45Oh, I'm fine.
05:46Really.
05:47For what it's worth, my brother needed six cracks in the LSAT.
05:49But then he nailed it, and he is doing great now.
05:53Well, he's practicing tax law in Salt Lake, but yeah, he likes it, so...
05:57Gotta go.
05:58Picked up a body.
06:06Hey.
06:08Another break-in?
06:09Except this time someone got killed, right?
06:10Yeah, I can't comment on that.
06:13This town's changing.
06:15Transients.
06:16People that shouldn't be here.
06:18All these rentals don't help.
06:19You take this gentleman's statement for me.
06:26Morning, boss.
06:27Short-term rental.
06:28Fix inside.
06:31Tenant?
06:32Yeah.
06:33Owner found her.
06:34Looks like the perp jimmied the door.
06:35Once you hear something comes out.
06:47Next broken?
06:48Yeah.
06:49CSI confirms that.
06:51He was strong, or she, they, pronouns.
06:56What's missing?
06:57Cash.
06:58Credit cards.
06:59Jewelry.
07:00Uh...
07:01Found the cell phone.
07:03Breaking gone wrong.
07:04Somebody wanted us to think that.
07:06Same kid in all the pictures.
07:08Hers?
07:09Maybe.
07:10She put a lot of time into this.
07:12Wait, go back.
07:13Why would she tear that one page out?
07:18It's the way it's torn.
07:20Somebody who put so much effort into this book wouldn't have done that.
07:26Her name was Maria Bannister.
07:27She lived in Spokane.
07:28The coffee machine was on the fritz.
07:30That's why I came this morning with the new one.
07:31And Maria was a tourist?
07:33Mm-mm.
07:34Uh, she said she used to live here.
07:35She hoped to visit family.
07:37Family?
07:38Meaning?
07:39I didn't ask.
07:40It didn't seem like she wanted to talk about it.
07:42Okay.
07:43What else did you tell you?
07:44She seemed all wound up about something.
07:46Like she was scared something bad could happen.
07:49Lord.
07:51And it did, didn't it?
07:53Dear Belinda, my dear baby girl.
07:55Maria wanted to visit family.
07:59That's all the landlord sure of.
08:02Last name Bannister.
08:03Let's find out how many live in the region.
08:05Just one.
08:11Mr. Bannister?
08:13Yeah.
08:14I'm Chief Aubrey.
08:15This is Sergeant Sokoloski.
08:17We're here about your wife, Maria.
08:20Sex wife.
08:21I'm afraid I have some bad news.
08:23Maria was found dead this morning here in Gibsons.
08:26What happened?
08:27We're still investigating.
08:28Your daughter here?
08:30I'd rather tell her myself.
08:31Oh, we need to talk to her.
08:32No, you leave her out of this.
08:34Out of what?
08:36Whatever this is.
08:43Belinda?
08:45My mom's dead?
08:46I'm so sorry.
08:48No one else is.
08:51When's the last time you saw your mother?
08:54Five years ago.
08:56Like, my dad already said she just left.
09:00Belinda was 10.
09:02Your mother say why she left?
09:04I guess she just got tired of us.
09:07No, she met somebody.
09:09Daryl.
09:10Daryl got a last name?
09:11I would assume so.
09:12Most people do.
09:13Mr. Bannister.
09:14I never heard his name.
09:15His last name.
09:16All I can tell you, he was younger.
09:19He was a tree planter.
09:21They went off and they planted trees together.
09:23And that's, uh, the last time you saw your mother?
09:29Yes.
09:30You haven't spoken to her since.
09:31That's enough.
09:32No contact whatsoever.
09:33That's enough.
09:34She told you all that she can.
09:36Mr. Bannister, uh, I'm gonna ask you to come to the station with me.
09:40Is there somebody who can look after Belinda?
09:42I'm coming with my dad.
09:47He can hang out of here.
09:49How long are you gonna be?
09:51If you need anything, ask Isabella.
09:53She knows where everything is.
09:55Unlike the rest of us, she's cool.
09:56Only person here who doesn't wear a uniform.
09:59He's a great dad and a good man.
10:01Whatever anyone tries to tell you.
10:03Why would someone tell me differently, Belinda?
10:06Because people lie.
10:07Yeah, sometimes they do.
10:11Do we know how long the Bannisters have been living in that house?
10:14Richard and Maria moved in just before Belinda was born.
10:17Bring him in.
10:19Canvas to neighbors.
10:20About last night?
10:21I wanna know what happened to Maria before she disappeared.
10:25Okay.
10:34Is Belinda okay?
10:35She's fine.
10:36Sit down.
10:38She insisting on telling me what a wonderful dad you are.
10:42I don't doubt that.
10:44I'm just not convinced you're telling me the truth.
10:50I have two daughters myself.
10:52I have five.
10:54Yeah.
10:55They're the treasures of our lives.
10:57When's the last time you saw your ex-wife, Mr. Bannister?
11:00Five years ago.
11:01It's not easy being abandoned by somebody you love.
11:05Love's like anger.
11:06It can make you do unreasonable things.
11:09I had nothing to do with her death.
11:10But you stayed in contact with her?
11:12No.
11:13Last night, according to Maria's phone records, you called her just before midnight.
11:18Why lie to me, Mr. Bannister?
11:21You know how this makes you look.
11:22So you knew she wasn't Gibson's?
11:28My ex-wife was on our road last night.
11:32In front of our house around seven.
11:33She was waiting for Belinda.
11:35And you confronted her?
11:36No, I didn't see her.
11:37Belinda did.
11:38The woman ambushed her.
11:39That what happened?
11:41Belinda ran home and told me.
11:42I went outside, but she was already gone just like five years ago.
11:47I saw the way you looked at your daughter when I questioned her.
11:51And I saw the way you looked at me when you showed up to my house.
11:55I was protecting my daughter.
11:57I don't trust the police.
11:59You ever protect your daughters?
12:01Did you kill your ex-wife, Mr. Bannister?
12:03banish you?
12:04No.
12:06I phoned her, yes.
12:07But I never made it past the front yard, I swear to God.
12:11And I am not a violent man.
12:12You have an assault charge on your record.
12:15That was 20 years ago in a bar fight.
12:18You ever done anything young and dumb?
12:20Well, five years ago, Maria called 911, altercation at your house.
12:24She said you threatened her life.
12:27We were arguing.
12:33And I probably said something idiotic.
12:37She drove Belinda to softball practice and left her there.
12:41So she could go drinking with Daryl the tree planter.
12:45Belinda was 10.
12:48What does your report say about my condition?
12:51Bloody nose, torn shirt.
12:52Exactly.
12:53Five years, no contact, then out of nowhere she shows up.
12:57Why do you suppose that is?
13:00Because she realized what a mess she made.
13:03She said she'd grown up.
13:05Maria wrote a letter to Belinda and nailed it to the house.
13:09I read it, and I got rid of it.
13:12My daughter didn't need...
13:19Maria broke my daughter's heart.
13:23And mine too.
13:29You think he's our guy?
13:31For his daughter's sake, I hope not.
13:33Pull up that 911 call from five years ago.
13:36I want to hear it.
13:45Councilwoman Lee.
13:46Hi, Bri.
13:47Good morning.
13:48Listen, uh, the woman that was killed.
13:52Uh-huh.
13:53People are wondering, I mean, has Carl said anything?
13:56Have you met Carl?
13:57So that's a no.
13:59He was waiting outside when I was opening up.
14:05And I know it's a public library and he's public, but people are on edge right now.
14:09About Todd?
14:11I mean, that's ridiculous.
14:13All the break-ins.
14:14That poor woman.
14:16Todd was here last week.
14:18We should talk to him.
14:19He has an interesting mind.
14:20Definitely not.
14:21Uh, Cassandra.
14:22Hey, do you got a minute?
14:23Yeah.
14:24Okay.
14:25Oh, these are good.
14:26Yeah, it's a project for school.
14:27Roadside trines on the coast.
14:28Um, that one is...
14:29Lauren.
14:30Lauren Park, yeah.
14:31I went to school with her, um, from first grade and until... until it happened.
14:47You guys were friends.
14:48She was walking home from work.
14:49Uh, she had a part-time job at the pizza place and someone hit her and took off.
14:55We're trying to research the creeper.
14:58You know, the one who creeps out of the shadows once a month as the full moon rises?
15:04Urban legend.
15:05I don't think you're gonna find much about it in the library.
15:08Excuse me.
15:09Do you mind?
15:13Okay, just give me a minute.
15:19Hey, Todd.
15:20Find something?
15:25Beowulf.
15:26Beowulf.
15:27Yeah.
15:28Old English classic.
15:29You're liking it.
15:30I mean, Beowulf pretends he's asleep and then rips Grendel's arm off.
15:34He's a total sociopath.
15:37Yeah, I guess that's one way of looking at it.
15:40And then he, you know, later kills Grendel's mother.
15:42It's, uh...
15:43I mean, his mother started the fight, but still, his mom?
15:47Mm.
15:48Uh...
15:49Oof.
15:51Okay, well, enjoy.
15:55Hmm.
15:58On the night of each full moon, the creeper creeps out clanking his chains.
16:01Full moon, like Cassandra said, it's corroboration.
16:04Well, actually, it's two people who heard the same version.
16:07That's what corroboration is.
16:09Okay, well, let's say some of it is true.
16:11I mean, forget the chains.
16:12I don't buy the black cowl either, but say someone has been tending the shrine.
16:16For 25 years?
16:17Well, there would probably be logic to the schedule.
16:19But forget full moon.
16:20It's gonna be more mundane.
16:22Why?
16:23Because people don't do that except in movies.
16:25I mean, real life, it's more like the first night of every month.
16:29Or the last.
16:30Paul, you're starting to think like a cop.
16:33I said I was sleeping at your place.
16:38You are such a liar.
16:40Well, what'd you tell your dad?
16:41That it would say a hair face.
16:43That it would say a hair face.
16:44Hey!
16:45Hey!
17:05Tabby! Tabby! Tabby! Tabby! Tabby!
17:15Tabby!
17:24Pauly!
17:26We got him!
17:28We got the creeper!
17:34It was Lucey's first day at her new school!
17:37She had been nervous about this day all summer.
17:39But now that we've been here, Lucey didn't wanna go.
17:42What else happened?
17:43Poor girl. Such a terrible thing.
17:56Excuse me!
18:08Todd. Todd!
18:13Good news is we know Liza's safe and sober.
18:28Except that's because she's locked in her bedroom hating us.
18:31Liza's busy being 15.
18:33Yeah.
18:36Five years go by. Why come back now?
18:39I don't know. Maybe the light bulb goes off.
18:43She made this. Brought it with her.
18:45It's a scrapbook.
18:46Elsie made scrapbooks for the girls all the time.
18:48Hockey. Liza's volleyball team.
18:50This book, it's a sort of gift that...
18:53You give to Belinda.
18:55Chief, we found the car that Maria Bannister was driving.
18:58It's registered to somebody named Callie Jarvis.
19:01She lives in Spokane.
19:02Edger's cell number.
19:04Isabel's pulling it up.
19:05I'll check.
19:06Oh, my God.
19:08Uh, yes. She's my friend.
19:11Ms. Jarvis, did Maria have any enemies to your knowledge?
19:16No. She's kind, quiet.
19:19She had a daughter. That's why she borrowed my car.
19:22She needed to go visit her daughter in Gibsons.
19:25They hadn't seen each other in years.
19:27Did Maria mention anyone else?
19:29Her dad.
19:30Maria was adopted.
19:31She recently found her biological father.
19:34He lives quite close to you.
19:36I think it's a little town called, um, Porpoise.
19:41Thank you, Callie.
19:42Um, I'm sorry I gotta take this call.
19:44I'll get back to you as soon as I have more information.
19:48What have you got?
19:49She made two calls to Porpoise Bay last week, both for the same number.
19:53Dee Stewart, 6619, fist away.
19:57Sorry to be the bearer, Captain Stewart.
20:00Someone killed her?
20:02Did your daughter ever mention being afraid of anyone?
20:06No. Never.
20:08I'd always wanted a daughter.
20:10And then, all of a sudden, there she was on my doorstep.
20:14Last July.
20:15That's the first time you met?
20:17Her mother was a fling.
20:21Had no idea she was pregnant.
20:24No, that's not true.
20:26I chose not to consider it and moved on.
20:29We've all done things we're not proud of, Chief Hallberg.
20:34Don't suppose you've ever abandoned a child?
20:38I didn't see it that way.
20:40Later found out my daughter did.
20:43Then perhaps you'll understand.
20:44To have her reach out after all those years and decades.
20:54She called me again last week.
20:57About?
20:58Her daughter, Belinda.
21:00She said to me, how do I even start?
21:05And I said, you get behind the wheel of a car and you drive.
21:09You go and see your daughter.
21:12Don't you dare make the same mistake that I did.
21:15Is she a son?
21:16Harry.
21:17Yeah, he lives with me.
21:19That must be a comfort?
21:20You'd think so.
21:21He's a good boy.
21:22He does his best.
21:23That'll be him now.
21:24All right.
21:25That'll be eight bucks, brother.
21:26Okay.
21:28Twenty bucks.
21:29I could duck.
21:30Twelve bucks to change.
21:31Enjoy.
21:32Thanks.
21:33Twenty bucks?
21:34Nice.
21:36Twenty bucks?
21:37Nice.
21:38What'd you get that, dude?
21:40Doesn't like you were for it, right?
21:41All right.
21:4320 bucks, ake doke.
21:4512 bucks for change. Enjoy.
21:47Thanks.
21:5120 bucks?
21:53Nice. Where'd you get that, dude?
21:55It wasn't like you were for it, right?
21:57Where you going?
21:59Excuse me.
22:01Don't come too.
22:03Hey, come on. You deaf or something?
22:05What's going on?
22:07Where you going?
22:09How long did you serve?
22:11Military?
22:13Reserves for about five minutes,
22:15but didn't really take to it.
22:17How'd I go with your dad?
22:19He understood.
22:21I think.
22:23He always said that I was more like my mom.
22:25She died six years ago.
22:27It's just been the two of us ever since.
22:29He's, um...
22:31He's failing.
22:33His heart.
22:35Doctor says that it won't be too much longer.
22:37I'm so sorry. He's...
22:39Tough as nails, my dad.
22:41Oh, um, Gloria, would you mind making Dad a sandwich today?
22:43Sure, I can.
22:45Of course.
22:47Chief Albrecht, is it?
22:48Yes.
22:49Chief, this is Gloria.
22:51We met when Gloria let me in.
22:53Oh.
22:54So...
22:55You, uh, catch my dad speeding through a traffic light?
22:57Your sister's dead.
22:59What?
23:01Is he serious?
23:03Is he serious?
23:09Dad, I am...
23:10I am so sorry.
23:11I am so sorry.
23:27It seemed like a good idea.
23:29A big house, ocean view, clean it up, a little bit of paint, listed as a short-term rental.
23:34But then these bureaucrats of yours got involved, and it was building code this and update that.
23:40Since when are they my bureaucrats?
23:42Because you're on town council.
23:44I hate to ask, but I need a favor.
23:48Okay?
23:49I am hemorrhaging money, and my rental income is at zero.
23:52I just...
23:53I need you to step up and be a super pal.
23:55Phyllis, I love you, but I can't intervene.
23:57Intervene?
23:58Hell, no!
23:59It's my electrician.
24:01He tore up all the drywall in the basement, and I just need help repainting it.
24:05Please.
24:06This weekend?
24:07Get away from me!
24:11Oh.
24:14God!
24:15Oh, yeah!
24:16Todd.
24:17I told you to leave me alone.
24:18Todd.
24:19I told you to leave me alone.
24:20Dad, answer the question, Joel.
24:21No, we see him up there.
24:22I know.
24:23I know.
24:24Todd!
24:25Todd!
24:26Todd!
24:27Todd!
24:28Todd!
24:29Todd!
24:30I told you to leave me alone!
24:31Have you lost your minds?
24:32Get up!
24:33Todd!
24:34Man, step back.
24:35Just stop.
24:36We are fine here.
24:37We are absolutely fine.
24:38Drop the knife now.
24:39Todd, you have to put the knife down.
24:41They drew a rug at me.
24:42This wasn't your fault.
24:43I saw what happened.
24:44Everybody saw it.
24:45Babe, I need you to step back now.
24:46Just stop.
24:47You are making this worse.
24:48Just stop.
24:49Everyone saw what happened, but you need to give me the knife.
24:52This wasn't your fault that you had to give me the knife, okay?
24:56Okay.
24:57Okay.
24:58Okay.
24:59Just give me the knife.
25:00Cassandra!
25:01Sit!
25:02Stop!
25:03Just give me the knife, okay?
25:06Please.
25:07Okay.
25:09Give me that.
25:10Okay.
25:11What's going on here?
25:12They threw a rock.
25:13They threw a rock.
25:15Okay.
25:16Okay.
25:17Son, I need you to get on your knees.
25:20Todd, you can trust him.
25:21You can trust him.
25:22Just get on your knees.
25:23Please.
25:24I need you to get down on your knees.
25:25Please.
25:26He's not gonna hurt you.
25:27Do not hurt him.
25:29Frickin' frack?
25:31Yes.
25:32What the hell is wrong with you two?
25:34I-I-I-I, we didn't do anything.
25:35Sorry.
25:36I'm sorry.
25:43Well, that was slightly insane.
25:44Thanks, fellas.
25:45Totally badass.
25:47Oh!
25:48Someone reposted it.
25:50You're a meme!
25:52I'm not serious.
25:54Yeah!
25:55Look, Councilwoman keeps Streets of Gibson safe.
26:00People carlay less than this into a run-rigger mayor.
26:03Why would I want to run for mayor?
26:05Well, I think this is gonna do wonders for you, trust me.
26:10Harry Stewart's been on the coast for ten years.
26:13He had a home rental company, one-man operation,
26:16but it went bankrupt years back.
26:18I'll do some more digging.
26:20They have a home care worker,
26:22works there three days a week, Gloria Hanson.
26:24Look into her, too, okay?
26:26We'll do.
26:28His name is Todd Loomis.
26:30He was...he's leaving a knife around.
26:32A bunch of punks at Molly's.
26:34Cassandra talked him down.
26:35Why'd she just call it in?
26:37I don't know.
26:38Ballsy moved, though.
26:39He's been sleeping in the woods off Maskell Road
26:41about a hundred yards south of the Bannister Place,
26:44and we found his camp.
26:45He's got this horde of junk stuff he's found or stolen, and...
26:49that.
26:51Todd?
26:52I'm Chief Allberg.
26:53What can you tell me about Maria Bannister?
26:55You're a cop.
26:56I don't talk to cops.
26:57Maria Bannister?
26:58No.
26:59She died last night.
27:00Someone killed her.
27:01Oh, come on.
27:02Someone dies, you blame me.
27:03Mm-hmm.
27:04You found this at your camp.
27:05You went through my stuff?
27:06That's Maria.
27:07One on the left.
27:08Okay.
27:09Where do you find this, Todd?
27:10I don't know.
27:11I don't know.
27:12I don't know.
27:13I don't know.
27:14I don't know.
27:15I don't know.
27:16I don't know.
27:17I don't know.
27:18I don't know.
27:19I don't know.
27:20I don't know.
27:21What can you tell me about Maria Bannister?
27:22You're a cop.
27:23I don't talk to cops.
27:24Maria Bannister?
27:25She died last night.
27:26Someone killed her.
27:27Oh, come on.
27:28Someone dies, you blame me.
27:29Mm-hmm.
27:30Who?
27:31Is Maria wearing it?
27:32I don't know.
27:33You killed Maria, Todd?
27:35No.
27:36Look at me.
27:37Todd, please.
27:38No.
27:39I didn't kill her.
27:44The girl threw it.
27:45She left it there, and she was with the other one, her mother.
27:48Maria Bannister.
27:49And her daughter.
27:53I want you to have it.
27:58Get away from me!
27:59Stay away from me!
28:00Stay away from me!
28:01Leila!
28:02Yes, she left it there.
28:03Yes.
28:16I watched her drive away in the car, and then the other one followed.
28:19Somebody was following her?
28:20Mm-hmm.
28:21What kind of car?
28:24A blue one.
28:25Blue car?
28:26Mm-hmm.
28:27What make?
28:28I don't know.
28:29It followed.
28:30Uh, yeah, it was, uh, 7 A.D. on the plate.
28:41Is there a guy?
28:42Maybe.
28:43Oh, you don't believe the story about the locket, do you?
28:45Come on, boss.
28:46All due respect.
28:47He's a thief.
28:48Maybe.
28:49But a killer?
28:50Cassandra likes him?
28:51Ooh, um, he had a knife.
28:54He was ready to go at those guys.
28:56Well, let's just hold him for 72 hours.
28:58We'll do that.
29:00Where are we on the 911 call?
29:02Still trying to track down the guys who attended.
29:04Neither of them are on the coast anymore.
29:06Chief, ME's here.
29:07Here.
29:08Based on rigor mortis, I'll say she died between, uh, 10 PM and 2 AM.
29:14Cervical fracture.
29:15Death was instantaneous?
29:16Nope.
29:17That was the intent.
29:19Presumably.
29:20But...
29:21I see how embungled it.
29:22To put it mildly.
29:23The fracture didn't kill her.
29:25She was smothered.
29:28She was a piece of work, but nobody deserves this.
29:32Poor Maria.
29:33Wait, you knew Maria Bannister?
29:35Her kid played t-ball with my niece.
29:38You know?
29:39She was a child herself, you know?
29:41It's like being a mother terrified her.
29:43There was a 911 call, Maria and her husband, five years ago.
29:48I was working ER that night.
29:50It was right before I switched over to pathology.
29:52The husband needed stitches.
29:54So she was the aggressor?
29:56They had to handcuff her to the gurney.
29:59So maybe Richard was telling the truth.
30:02There was a blue sedan.
30:04Partial plate, 7 AD.
30:06Possibly seen following Maria the night of her death.
30:08Let's run it through the system, see what comes up.
30:10All right.
30:11Richard said that, uh, Maria ran off with a tree planter, Daryl something.
30:15Daryl Cunningham.
30:17Far as I know, he's still on the coast.
30:18Daryl Cunningham.
30:19Let's find him.
30:20Daryl Cunningham.
30:21Daryl Cunningham.
30:22Still on piring girls softball?
30:25Time to time.
30:26How's your daughter?
30:27Good.
30:28How's your eyesight?
30:29Keen.
30:30As ever.
30:31Hey.
30:41Cassandra.
30:42Seriously.
30:43Phyllis loves it.
30:44She can run my campaign for mayor.
30:46A guy with a knife?
30:48Your officers were getting set to shoot him.
30:51Todd is a valued patron of my library.
30:53He could have killed you.
30:54Don't be dramatic.
30:55They may have tasered me, but...
30:58Carl.
30:59He is smart.
31:00He is funny.
31:01He reads Beowulf.
31:02The only thing he doesn't have is a roof.
31:04And I don't think that's his fault.
31:06He didn't hurt anyone.
31:07This time.
31:08Oh, come on.
31:09He could have hurt you.
31:10That's what terrifies me.
31:11He didn't and he wouldn't.
31:13You need to trust me.
31:15Cassandra, my job is community safety.
31:17Todd is a part of the community.
31:20My community at least.
31:22Mine too.
31:24Well, how does Todd fit into your community, officer?
31:30Right.
31:31In custody.
31:37It's probably important.
31:38You should answer it.
31:43Aubrey.
31:44Chief, I ran the partial you asked for.
31:46And?
31:47Blue 2019 sedan registered to D. Stewart.
31:506619 Vista.
31:53The captain.
31:58I only got these three.
31:59The flash spooked the guy of whoever he was.
32:03Mm-hmm.
32:06You don't suppose you recognize the guy?
32:08I can't really make out their face.
32:11Maybe someone related to Lauren?
32:12I don't think so.
32:13They moved away years ago.
32:16What?
32:23Can I keep this?
32:25Yeah.
32:32Hey, Cherise.
32:33Holy smokes.
32:35Cassandra Lee.
32:36It's been a minute.
32:37Yeah.
32:38I saw your truck.
32:39Yeah.
32:40That's good to see you.
32:41That saves me a trip to your house.
32:45I went by Lauren's shrine.
32:49You were there last night.
32:52What?
32:53No.
32:54Why would you think that?
32:56My boyfriend's daughter took this.
33:04What the hell, Trace?
33:05You?
33:07You're the creeper.
33:08Captain Stewart.
33:11Captain Stewart.
33:12Chief Alberg in Gibsons.
33:13When did you last drive your car?
33:15My car?
33:17My God.
33:18I haven't driven that car in years.
33:20Then when did your son last drive it?
33:22Well, he drove me on Wednesday.
33:24I had an appointment with my lawyer, but...
33:27Harry drives the car whenever he wants.
33:29Why are you asking all this?
33:31Why did you see your lawyer, Captain Stewart?
33:33The hell, business is that of yours.
33:36I'm investigating the murder of your daughter.
33:40Estate planning?
33:42An adjustment to my will?
33:44Did Harry know this?
33:46Oh, my God.
33:48Is that a yes?
33:51Captain Stewart, where's your son now?
33:54She was working my shift.
33:56That night.
33:57Pizza parlor.
33:59I...
34:01promised I'd...
34:02swing by when she finished.
34:04Drive her home.
34:06And...
34:08And I got pissed off at her.
34:10It's one of those...
34:11stupid high school disagreements.
34:14So she walked home.
34:16Side of the highway.
34:17The driver hit her, you didn't.
34:19I...
34:21I never went to see her parents.
34:22Not once.
34:24We all failed.
34:26Different ways.
34:28At least you honor her shrine.
34:31It just seems like the least I could do.
34:33Yeah, leave her flowers.
34:35I never left flowers.
34:36I just...
34:37tidy up.
34:39I was...
34:40I was there 20 minutes ago.
34:41There were flowers.
34:43I didn't leave them.
34:49They already left the house two hours ago.
34:50Where are we with that volo?
34:52No reports of the car yet.
34:53Chief, someone here to see you?
34:54No, no.
34:55It's Gloria Hanson, the captain's housekeeper.
34:58How long have you known Captain Stewart and his son?
35:02Two years.
35:04Captain's a fine man.
35:05And his son is so attentive.
35:07It's quite...
35:09touching.
35:11Did Maria Bannister ever come to the house while you were working?
35:14No.
35:15I...
35:16I never met her.
35:18Did Harry mention her to you?
35:21I did the laundry today.
35:22Normally I'm supposed to do the captains, but...
35:25Mr. Harry's turns up in the hamper too.
35:26I don't mind.
35:28I found this in...
35:29Mr. Harry's pocket.
35:31His trousers.
35:37That's his niece, right?
35:39Belinda Bannister?
35:47I had a funny feeling.
35:48I'm sorry.
35:50He's going after the girl, Belinda.
35:52Why would he do that?
35:53Find her, hurry.
35:54I'm going to their house.
35:55Call the school.
36:09Hi.
36:10Mr. Bannister.
36:11How you doing?
36:19Dad, it's me.
36:28Dad?
36:32Dad!

37:55You knew your dad had changed his will,
37:58but you didn't know what the change was,
38:00so Kellyanne would have to wait.
38:03I revere my father.
38:05I sacrificed.
38:07Looked after him.
38:08You decided to go after Maria Bannister,
38:11eliminate the competition.
38:12That's a damn lie.
38:13Once you did that,
38:15they left Belinda.
38:23What is that?
38:24This was in your pocket.

39:04All right, well, yeah, see you later, later.
39:10Big plans tonight?
39:11Uh, me?
39:13Nah, just home to water the plants.
39:16Mm-hmm.
39:16Isabella, uh, for about five minutes, I thought I might want to be a lawyer.
39:24Really?
39:25What stopped you?
39:26Oh, I realize I want to be a cop way more.
39:28The point is...
39:29You are smart as hell.
39:33Yes.
39:33I knew that within ten minutes of meeting you.
39:35You'll ace the LSAT next time.
39:37Thanks.
39:39But I hasted this time.
39:41Oh, shut up!
39:43And now I'm freaking out.
39:44I mean, law school?
39:46I-I never really let myself believe, and...
39:50The hell am I going to do now?
39:52Well, you put your keys back in your purse because I'm driving.
39:55I will be drinking virgin Bloody Marys,
39:57but you, my friend, you, are drinking margaritas.
40:03Okay.
40:09Dr. St. Clair, the recitation.
40:12Dr. St. Clair, the recitation.
40:27Mr. Bannister?
40:30My name is Stuart.
40:33I believe I'm...
40:35Belinda's grandfather.
40:46I don't know.
40:47Maybe the living room?
40:51Yeah, maybe.
40:54That's my grandfather, isn't it?
40:57Yeah.
40:58Is he still alive?
41:01If he is, I don't think he knows we are.
41:06Knock, knock.
41:07Cassandra, hi.
41:08Hi.
41:09We're just debating where to put that painting.
41:12That wall seems a little bare.
41:14Yeah, that gets my vote.
41:17Ladies win.
41:20I'm gonna go.
41:26Hey, um...
41:26What I meant to say earlier is that you have a tough job,
41:31and I can be impulsive sometimes, you might have noticed.
41:35What I meant to say is that I'm damn glad you're okay,
41:37that nobody got hurt, including Todd.
41:39He's a good person, Carl.
41:41I'm sure he is.
41:42My line of work.
41:45Sometimes it's easy to forget.
41:47Well, I will remind you then.
41:50To protect...
41:52That's my actual job.
41:54It's not just your job, though, Carl.
41:56It is you.
41:58And it is...
42:00It is loving.
42:01It is lovely.
42:04Sometimes, but it can suffocate.
42:05Cassandra, we're talking about a man with a knife.
42:09Todd was a risk I wanted to take.
42:11A person comes at you with a weapon, I see the weapon.
42:14I need you to see me, Carl.
42:17I am an adult.
42:21Darling, just tell me what's going on.
42:26I lost myself in a relationship once.
42:30With Terrence, a professor?
42:32Yeah, he was, um...
42:35He was 20 years older than me,
42:37and he was wise and commanding.
42:40And, uh, never again.
42:51I don't know how else to show you that I care.
42:58Carl, you can...
43:00You can just make me dinner.
43:10You can just make me dinner.
43:40The following...
43:53...
