00:00All right, see you next game. Bye, guys. Bye.
00:04Okay, bye.
00:06It's a crazy game.
00:30Bye.
01:00Sweetheart, it's me.
01:07Just listen.
01:12Stay away from me! Stay away from me!
01:17Mom's outside. She tried to follow me in her car.
01:19Stay with you. Stay with you.
01:20Can't be a practice.
01:21Yeah.
01:23Maria!
01:26Maria!
01:27Don't you show your face around here again!
01:32I'm her mother.
01:35I don't care!
01:36Don't you ever try to ambush my daughter like that again.
01:40Yeah. Yeah, my daughter.
01:41You left.
01:42Where the hell are you?
01:46Here.
01:48Please.
01:50All right.
01:52Hello?
02:02Is someone there?
02:05Who's there?
02:18Ah!
02:20I really like your place.
02:21How come we're always at mine?
02:22Oh.
02:23Because you keep touching my stuff.
02:24Well, you know, it's hard to drink from a glass unless you touch it.
02:26I mean, I can always bring mine, but I really like this one.
02:27Yeah.
02:28With my core food glasses.
02:29Oh, you know, it's hard to drink from a glass unless you touch it.
02:33I mean, I can always bring mine, but I really like this one.
02:36Yeah.
02:37With my core food glasses.
02:38I used to have two.
02:39You went to core food?
02:40Yeah, years ago, back when I was in grad school.
02:41You and your sorority chums?
02:42Carl, can you see me in a sorority?
02:43No.
02:44No.
02:45No.
02:46No.
02:47No.
02:48No.
02:49No.
02:50No.
02:51No.
02:52No.
02:53No.
02:54No.
02:55No.
02:56No.
02:57No.
02:58No.
02:59No.
03:00No.
03:01No.
03:02No.
03:03No.
03:04No.
03:05No.
03:06No.
03:07Maybe I squint a little?
03:08No.
03:09I went with Terrence.
03:10He was my thesis advisor.
03:12Also, my boyfriend, if I can use that word.
03:16He was a little older.
03:19Oh.
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.
03:31Yeah.
03:32It has been washed a thousand times, Aulberg.
03:35You are not going to find any fingerprints.
03:37Sorry.
03:38You know, you invited a detective to dinner.
03:40Yeah.
03:41You look at my place like it's a riddle to be solved.
03:43Big picture first.
03:44Then details.
03:45Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
03:47Is there anything out of place?
03:49Anything that wasn't here before?
03:51Wow.
04:01You're good.
04:05It's yours.
04:06Seriously?
04:07I saw the way that you looked at it at the art fair.
04:10You shouldn't have.
04:11How much was it?
04:12It'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.
04:28Who's that?
04:30Your father?
04:31I never knew him.
04:33That's not what I asked.
04:36He's called the Creeper.
04:47He 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.
04:59Why?
05:00I don't know.
05:01It's a legend.
05:03Every month since Lauren died.
05:05That's like 25 years, 300 months all without fail.
05:12Holly.
05:13Yeah?
05:15You loser.
05:16You stick so easy.
05:17You can't wait for me.
05:24Lauren.
05:25Someone had a good weekend?
05:27Vanessa?
05:28Maybe I'm just high on life.
05:30So, what are you fixated on?
05:35Just an email.
05:37Oh.
05:39My LSAT results.
05:41Let's not talk about it, okay?
05:43Oh, crap.
05:44No, I'm fine.
05:46Really.
05:47For what it's worth, my brother needed six cracks at the LSAT.
05:50But then he nailed it and he is doing great now.
05:53Well, he's practicing tax law in Salt Lake.
05:56But yeah, he likes it.
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.
06:17All these rentals don't help.
06:18You 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.
06:35She hears something comes out.
06:36Next broken?
06:37Yeah.
06:38CSI confirms that.
06:39He was strong.
06:40Or she.
06:41They.
06:42Pronouns.
06:43What's missing?
06:44Cash.
06:45Credit cards.
06:46Jewelry.
06:47Found the cell phone.
06:49Breaking gone wrong.
06:50Somebody wanted us to think that.
06:51Same kid in all the pictures.
06:52Hers?
06:53Maybe.
06:54She put a lot of time into this.
06:55Wait, go back.
06:57Why would she tear that one page up?
06:58It's the way it's torn.
06:59It's the way it's torn.
07:00Somebody who put so much effort into this book wouldn't have done that?
07:17Her name was Maria Bannister.
07:19She lived in Spokane.
07:21The coffee machine.
07:23You had plenty of time for me.
07:24Your book.
07:25You're looking for the views.
07:26What are you looking for?
07:27Maria Bannister. She lived in Spokane.
07:29The coffee machine was on the fritz.
07:30That's why I came this morning with the new one.
07:32And Maria was a tourist?
07:33Mm-mm. She said she used to live here.
07:35She hoped to visit family.
07:37Family? Meaning?
07:39I didn't ask. It didn't seem like she wanted to talk about it.
07:42Okay. What else did she tell you?
07:44She seemed all wound up about something.
07:46Like she was scared something bad could happen.
07:49Lord.
07:50And it did, didn't it?
07:52Dear Belinda, my dear baby girl.
07:57Maria 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.
08:10Mr. Bannister?
08:13Yeah.
08:14I'm Chief Aubrey. This is Sergeant Sokoloski.
08:17We'll hear 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 Gibson's.
08:27What happened?
08:27They're still investigating.
08:29Your daughter here?
08:30I'd rather tell her myself.
08:31Oh, we need to talk to her.
08:33No, you leave her out of this.
08:35Out of what?
08:36Whatever this is.
08:43Belinda?
08:45My mom's dead.
08:47I'm so sorry.
08:48No one else is.
08:52When was the last time you saw your mother?
08:55Five 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.
09:09Daryl got a last name?
09:11I would assume so.
09:11Most people do.
09:12Miss Bannister.
09:13I never heard his name, his 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.
09:29You haven't spoken to her since.
09:31That's enough.
09:31No contact whatsoever.
09:32That's enough.
09:33She told you all that she can.
09:36Mr. Bash, 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.
09:47You're gonna 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.
10:00He's a great dad and a good man.
10:02Whatever 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 want to know what happened to Maria before she disappeared.
10:25Okay.
10:33Is Belinda okay?
10:34She's fine.
10:35Sit down.
10:37She's insisting on telling me what a wonderful dad you are.
10:41I don't doubt that.
10:44I'm just not convinced you're telling me the truth.
10:49I have two daughters myself.
10:52I have five.
10:53They're the treasures of our lives.
10:56When'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.
11:08I had nothing to do with her death.
11:10But you stayed in contact with her?
11:12No.
11:12Last night, according to Maria's phone records, you called her just before midnight.
11:17Why lie to me, Mr. Bannister?
11:19You know how Alice makes you look.
11:23So you knew she was in Gibson's.
11:28My ex-wife was on our road last night.
11:31In front of our house around seven.
11:33She was waiting for Belinda.
11:34And you confronted her?
11:35No, I didn't see her.
11:37Belinda did.
11:38The woman ambushed her.
11:39Then what happened?
11:40Belinda 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?
12:03No.
12:03I phoned her, yes.
12:07But I never made it past the front yard, I swear to God.
12:10And I am not a violent man.
12:12You have an assault charge on your record.
12:14That 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.
12:23She said you threatened her life.
12:30We were arguing.
12:31Man, I probably said something idiotic.
12:36She drove Belinda to softball practice and left her there so she could go drinking with Darryl, the tree planter.
12:45Belinda was 10.
12:47What does your report say about my condition?
12:50Bloody nose.
12:51Torn shirt.
12:51Exactly.
12:53Five years, no contact, and out of nowhere she shows up.
12:57Why do you suppose that is?
12:59Because she realized what a mess she made.
13:02She said she'd grown up.
13:05Maria wrote a letter to Belinda and mailed it to the house.
13:08I read it, and I got rid of it.
13:12My daughter didn't need...
13:13Maria broke my daughter's heart.
13:23And mine, too.
13:28You think he's our guy?
13:30For his daughter's sake, I hope not.
13:33Pull up that 911 call from five years ago.
13:35I want to hear it.
13:36Councilwoman Lee.
13:45Hi, Brie.
13:46Good morning.
13:47Good morning.
13:48Listen, uh, the woman that was killed, people are wondering, I mean, has Carl said anything?
13:55Have you met Carl?
13:57So that's a no.
13:57He 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.
14:10About Todd?
14:11I mean, that's ridiculous.
14:13All the break-ins, that poor woman.
14:16Todd was here last week.
14:17Brie, you should talk to him.
14:19He has an interesting mind.
14:25Cassandra!
14:26Hey, you got a minute?
14:27Yeah.
14:29Okay.
14:32Oh, these are good.
14:34Yeah, it's a project for school.
14:36Roadside trines on the coast.
14:38Um, that one is Lauren.
14:40Lauren Park, yeah.
14:42I went to school with her, um, from first grade until, until it happened.
14:47You guys were friends.
14:49She was walking home from work.
14:51Uh, she had a part-time job at the pizza place, and someone hit her and took off.
14:55Uh, we're trying to research the creeper.
14:59You know, the one who creeps out of the shadows once a month as the full moon rises?
15:03Urban legend.
15:04I don't think you're going to find much about it in the library.
15:07Excuse me.
15:09Do you mind?
15:12Okay, just give me a minute.
15:14Hey, Todd.
15:20Hey.
15:20Find something?
15:25Beowulf.
15:26Yeah.
15:27Old 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.
15:39And then he, you know, later kills Grendel's mother.
15:42It's, uh, I mean, his mother started the fight, but still, his mom?
15:47Mm.
15:47Uh, oof.
15:49Okay, well, enjoy.
15:57On the night of each full moon, the creeper creeps out, clanking his chains.
16:01Full moon, like Cassandra said.
16:03It'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.
16:13I 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, but forget full moon.
16:21It's going to be more mundane.
16:22Why?
16:23Because people don't do that except in movies.
16:26I mean, real life, it's more like the first night of every month or the last.
16:30Paul, you're starting to think like a cop.
16:36I said I was sleeping at your place.
16:39You are such a liar.
16:40Well, what'd you tell your dad?
16:41That I'll stay at your place.
16:47Tevin, Tevin, Tevin, Tevin, Tevin, Tevin.
17:07It was Lucy's first day at her new school.
17:36She had been nervous about this day all summer.
17:38Okay, cool.
17:39Now that we've been here, Lucy didn't want to go.
17:43Poor girl.
17:45Such a terrible thing.
17:57Excuse me?
17:58Todd.
18:09Todd.
18:11Todd.
18:13Good news is we know Liza's safe and sober, except that's because she's locked in her bedroom hating us.
18:31Liza's busy PM15.
18:33Yeah.
18:35Five years go by. Why come back now?
18:39I don't know. Maybe the light bulb goes off?
18:42She made this, brought it with her.
18:44It'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 you give to Belinda.
18:55Chief, we found the car that Maria Bannister was driving.
18:59It's registered to somebody named Callie Jarvis.
19:01She lives in Spokane.
19:02Edger's cell number.
19:04Isabel is pulling it up.
19:05I'll check.
19:06Oh my God.
19:08Uh, yes, she's my friend.
19:11Miss Jarvis, did Maria have any enemies to your knowledge?
19:16No.
19:17She's kind, quiet.
19:20She had a daughter, so 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.
19:42Thank you, Callie.
19:43Um, I'm sorry.
19:44I gotta take this call.
19:45I'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 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.
20:07Never.
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.
20:22Had no idea she was pregnant.
20:24No, that's not true.
20:25I 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.
20:39Later found out my daughter did.
20:43Then perhaps you'll understand.
20:46To have her reach out after all those years of decades.
20:54She called me again last week.
20:57About?
20:58Her daughter, Belinda.
21:01She said to me, how do I even start?
21:04And 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.
21:19Is she your son?
21:21Harry.
21:23Yeah, he lives with me.
21:24That must be a comfort?
21:25You'd think so.
21:28He's a good boy.
21:30He does his best.
21:31That'll be him now.
21:38All right.
21:39That'll be eight bucks, brother.
21:41Okay.
21:43Twenty bucks.
21:44Okey-doke.
21:46Twelve bucks your change.
21:48Enjoy.
21:50Twenty bucks.
21:53Nice.
21:54Where'd you get that, dude?
21:55It wasn't like you were for it, right?
21:57Where you going?
22:00Excuse me.
22:01Come on.
22:02Don't come too.
22:04Hey, come on.
22:05You deaf or something?
22:06What's good?
22:08Where you going?
22:10How long did you serve?
22:12Military?
22:14Reserves for about five minutes, but it didn't really take to it.
22:17How did that go with your dad?
22:20He understood.
22:22I 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.
22:30He's, um...
22:31He's failing.
22:33His heart.
22:34The doctor says that it won't be too much longer.
22:37I'm so sorry.
22:38He's tough as nails, my dad.
22:41Oh, um, Gloria, would you mind making dad a sandwich today?
22:44Sure I can.
22:45Of course.
22:47Uh, Chief Albrecht, is it?
22:48Yes.
22:49Uh, Chief, this is Gloria.
22:51We met when, uh, Gloria let me in.
22:54So, did you, uh, catch my dad speeding through a traffic light?
22:58Your sister's dead.
23:00What?
23:04Is he serious?
23:09Dad, I am...
23:10I am so sorry.
23:11I am so sorry.
23:12It seemed like a good idea.
23:13A big house, ocean view, clean it up, a little bit of paint, listed as a short-term rental.
23:22But then these bureaucrats of yours got involved.
23:23And it was building code this and update that.
23:24Since when are they my bureaucrats?
23:25Because you're on town council.
23:26I hate to ask, but I need a favor.
23:27Okay.
23:28I am hemorrhaging money and my rental income is at zero.
23:29I just, I need you to step up and be a super pal.
23:31Phyllis, I love you, but I can't intervene.
23:32Intervene?
23:33Hell no.
23:34It's, uh, my electrician is at zero.
23:37Okay.
23:38So, you have to do that.
23:39We'll be a little, uh, the other one.
23:40Yeah, I'm like, oh, I'm going to be here.
23:41And what?
23:42Oh, no.
23:43Sure.
23:44It's going to be um, the other one.
23:45You know for us.
23:46Are we going to be the last two years?
23:47Hey, wanna give us a little bit of time?
23:49Hey, do you want to work?
23:51You want to work?
23:52You want to work?
23:53You want to work?
23:54You want to work?
23:55Oh, I know that.
23:56I've grown up on an own living.
23:57You want to work.
23:58Are you a woman living?
23:59Hell no, it's my electrician.
24:01He tore up all the drywall in the basement
24:03and I just need help repainting it.
24:05Please.
24:06This weekend?
24:08Get away from me!
24:12Oh.
24:14God!
24:16I told you to leave me alone.
24:18Todd.
24:19I told you to leave me alone.
24:21No, we seen him up there.
24:22People's house at the wall.
24:23I know, Todd.
24:24Back there, Mike.
24:25Ah!
24:26What's up?
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.
24:36Oh, no.
24:37We are fine here.
24:38We are absolutely...
24:39Drop the knife now.
24:40Todd, 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.
24:45Man, I need you to step back now.
24:46Just stop.
24:47You are making this worse.
24:48Just stop.
24:50Everyone saw what happened, but you need to give me the knife.
24:53This wasn't your fault, but you have 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 rug.
25:13They threw a rug.
25:15Okay.
25:16Okay.
25:17Okay.
25:18Son, I need you to get on your knees.
25:20No.
25:21Todd, you can trust him.
25:22You can trust him.
25:23Just get on your knees.
25:24Please.
25:25I need you to get down on your knees.
25:26Please.
25:27Get down on your knees.
25:28He's not going to hurt you.
25:29Do not hurt him.
25:31Frick and frack?
25:32Yes.
25:33What the hell is wrong with you two?
25:35I, I, I, I, we didn't do anything.
25:36Try.
25:37I'm trying.
25:38I'm slightly insane.
25:39Thanks, Wells.
25:40Totally badass.
25:41Oh, someone reposted it.
25:42Hmm?
25:43You're a meme!
25:44I'm not serious.
25:45Yeah!
25:46Look, councilwoman keeps streets of Gibson safe.
25:48People car lay less than this into a run for governor.
25:51Why would I want to run for governor?
25:52Well, I think this is going to do wonders for you.
25:54Trust me.
25:55Harry Stewart's been on the coast for 10 years.
26:10He had a home rental company, a one-man operation, but it went bankrupt years back.
26:17I'll do some more digging.
26:19They have a home care worker who works there three days a week.
26:22Works there three days a week, Gloria Hanson.
26:25Look into her, too, okay?
26:26Well, then.
26:29His name is Todd Loomis.
26:30He was, he's leaving a knife around.
26:33A bunch of punks at Molly's.
26:34Cassandra talked him down.
26:36Why'd she just call it in?
26:37I don't know.
26:38Ballsy move, though.
26:39He's been sleeping in the woods off Maskell Road,
26:41about 100 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...
26:50that.
27:00Todd, I'm Chief Albreg.
27:05What can you tell me about Maria Bannister?
27:08You're a cop. I don't talk to cops.
27:09Maria Bannister?
27:11She died last night.
27:13Someone killed her.
27:15Oh, come on.
27:16Someone dies, you blame me.
27:18Mm-hmm.
27:20We found this at your camp.
27:21Are you home?
27:23You went to my stuff?
27:24That's Maria.
27:25One on the left.
27:27Okay.
27:28Where do you find this, Todd?
27:29I don't know.
27:31Is Maria where yet?
27:33I don't know.
27:34You killed Maria, Todd?
27:35No.
27:36Look at me, Todd, 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.
27:47Maria Bannister, and her daughter.
27:53I want you to have it.
27:58Keep away from me!
27:59Stay away from me!
28:02Sweetheart!
28:02Yes, she left it there.
28:04Yes.
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?
28:22A blue one.
28:24Blue car.
28:25Mm-hmm.
28:26What make?
28:27I don't know.
28:28It followed.
28:29Uh, it was, uh, 7 A.D. on the plate.
28:32Who's our guy?
28:33Maybe.
28:34Oh, you don't believe the story about the locket, do you?
28:35Come on, boss.
28:36All due respect.
28:37He's a thief.
28:38Maybe.
28:39But a killer?
28:40What?
28:41Because Cassandra likes him?
28:42Ooh.
28:43Um, he had a knife.
28:44He was ready to go at those guys.
28:45Well, let's just hold him for 72 hours.
28:46We'll do that.
28:47Where are we on the 911 call?
28:48We'll do that.
28:49We'll do that.
28:50We'll do that.
28:51We'll do that.
28:52We'll do that.
28:53We'll do that.
28:54We'll do that.
28:55We'll do that.
28:56We'll do that.
28:57We'll do that.
28:58We'll do that.
28:59We'll do that.
29:00Where are we on the 911 call?
29:02Still trying to track down the guys who attended.
29:05Neither of them are on the coast anymore.
29:06Chief, ME's here.
29:08Here.
29:09Based on rigor mortis, I'll say she died between, uh, 10 PM and 2 AM.
29:14Cervical fracture.
29:15Death was instantaneous?
29:17Nope.
29:18That was the intent, presumably, but...
29:20Or is she only bungled it?
29:22To put it mildly, the fracture didn't kill her.
29:25She was smothered.
29:29She was a piece of work, but nobody deserves this.
29:33Poor Maria.
29:34Wait, you knew Maria Bannister?
29:36Her 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.
29:44There 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, partial plate 7AD,
30:05possibly seen following Maria the night of her death.
30:08Let's run it through the system, see what comes up.
30:10On it.
30:11Richard said that, uh, Maria ran off with a tree planter, Daryl something.
30:15Daryl Cunningham.
30:16Far as I know, he's still on the coast.
30:18Daryl Cunningham. Let's find him.
30:19Still umpiring girls softball?
30:22Time to time. How's your daughter?
30:24Good. How's your eyesight?
30:25Keen. As ever.
30:28Hey.
30:30Cassandra. Seriously.
30:32Phyllis loves it. She can run my campaign for governor.
30:34A guy with a knife?
30:35You're awesome.
30:36I know.
30:37I know.
30:38I know.
30:39I know.
30:40I know.
30:41I know.
30:42I know.
30:43I know.
30:44I know.
30:45I know.
30:46I know.
30:47I know.
30:48A guy with a knife?
30:49Your officers were getting set to shoot him.
30:51Todd is a valued patron of my library.
30:53He could have killed you.
30:54Oh, don'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.
31:08This time.
31:09Oh, come on.
31:10He could have hurt you.
31:11That's what terrifies me.
31:12He didn't and he wouldn't.
31:14You need to trust him.
31:15Cassandra.
31:16My job is community safety.
31:18Todd 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.
31:39Allberg.
31:40Chief.
31:41I ran the partial you asked for.
31:42And?
31:43Blue 2019 Sedan registered to D. Stewart.
31:446619 Vista.
31:45The captain.
31:46I only got these three.
31:47The flash spooked the guy.
31:48Whoever he was.
31:49Mm-hmm.
31:50You don't suppose you recognize the guy?
31:51I can't really make out their face.
31:52Maybe someone related to Lauren?
31:53I don't think so.
31:54They moved away years ago.
31:55What?
31:56What?
31:57What?
31:58What?
31:59What?
32:00What?
32:01What?
32:02What?
32:03What?
32:04What?
32:05What?
32:06What?
32:07What?
32:08What?
32:09What?
32:10What?
32:11What?
32:12What?
32:13What?
32:14What?
32:15What?
32:16What?
32:21What?
32:22Can I keep this?
32:24Yeah?
32:31Okay, Trice.
32:32Oh!
32:33Holy smokes!
32:34Cassandra Lee.
32:35It's been a minute.
32:36Yeah.
32:37I saw your truck.
32:38Yeah.
32:39That's good to see you.
32:41That saves me a trip to your house.
32:43I went by Lauren's shrine.
32:48You were there last night.
32:51What? No.
32:54Why would you think that?
32:55My boyfriend's daughter took this.
33:03What the hell, Trace? You?
33:06You're the creeper.
33:10Captain Stewart, Chief Albreg in Gibson.
33:13When did you last drive your car?
33:15My car?
33:16My God, I 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...
33:27Look, Harry 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.
33:35I'm investigating the murder of your daughter.
33:37A state planning, an adjustment to my will?
33:43Did Harry know this?
33:46Oh, my God.
33:48Is that a yes?
33:51Captain Stewart, where's your son now?
33:52She was working my shift that night.
33:57Pizza parlor.
33:59I promised I'd swing by when she finished, drive her home.
34:06And then I got pissed off at her.
34:09It's one of those stupid high school disagreements.
34:12So she walked home.
34:15Side of the highway.
34:16Yeah, the driver hit her.
34:18You didn't.
34:19I...
34:19I never went to see her parents.
34:22Not once.
34:25We all failed.
34:26Different ways.
34:28At least to honor her shrine.
34:31It just seems like the least I could do.
34:33Yeah, leave her flowers.
34:35I've never left flowers.
34:36I just tidy up.
34:38I was...
34:39I was there 20 minutes ago.
34:40There were flowers.
34:42I didn't leave them.
34:49I 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?
34:54Not now.
34:55It's Gloria Hansen, the captain's housekeeper.
34:59How long have you known Captain Stewart and his son?
35:02Two years.
35:04Captain's a fine man, and his son is so attentive.
35:06It's quite touching.
35:10Did Maria Bannister ever come to the house while you were working?
35:13No.
35:15I never met her.
35:17Did Harry mention her to you?
35:21I did the laundry today.
35:23Normally I was supposed to do the captain's,
35:24but Mr. Harry's turns up in the hamper too.
35:27I don't mind.
35:28I found this in Mr. Harry's pocket.
35:31His trousers.
35:36That's his niece, right?
35:39Belinda Bannister.
35:46I 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.
35:56Hi, Mr. Bannister.
36:11How you doing?
36:18Dad, it's me.
36:20Hey.
36:20Hey.
36:20Hey.
36:20Hey.
36:20Hey.
36:20Hey.
36:20Hey.
36:20Hey.
36:21Hey.
36:21Hey.
36:22Hey.
36:22Hey.
36:23Hey.
36:23Hey.
36:24Hey.
36:24Hey.
36:25Hey.
36:25Hey.
36:27Dad?
36:32Dad!
36:32It's Belinda, right?
36:35Who are you?
36:37I was...
36:45Belinda!
36:53Belinda!
36:54Get in here, out, out there, out there.
36:58Dad!
37:01I'm at the banister house.
37:03Masco Road has been a serious injury.
37:05Send an ambulance.
37:07Suspects on foot.
37:09Send all units.
37:10Masco Road.
37:11Let's go.
37:24Stay down!
37:44Stay down!
37:51Nice work.
37:54You knew your dad had changed his will, but you didn't know what the change was, so Kellyanne would have to wait.
38:02I revere my father. I sacrificed. Looked after him.
38:07You decided to go after Maria Bannister. Eliminate the competition.
38:11That's a damn lie.
38:13Once you did that, I left Belinda.
38:16What is that?
38:22This was in your pocket. After a man like you kills the first time, it's the sale of us sold by inches, Harry.
38:29You needed that inheritance. 40-year-old man, bankrupt company, personal debts, no other prospects.
38:41I've done my duty. All my life. For my dad. For everyone.
38:55I bet he's just damn proud of you.
39:03All right, well, yeah, see you later, later.
39:09Big plans tonight?
39:10Uh, me?
39:11Nah, just home to water the plants.
39:15Mm-hmm.
39:16Isabella, uh, for about five minutes, I thought I might want to be a lawyer.
39:22Really?
39:23What stopped you?
39:25Oh, I realized I want to be a cop way more.
39:27Okay.
39:28The point is...
39:30You are smart as hell.
39:31Yes.
39:32I knew that within ten minutes of meeting you.
39:34You'll ace the LSAT next time.
39:36Thanks.
39:37But I aced it this time.
39:40Oh, shut up!
39:42And now I'm freaking out. I mean, law school?
39:45I-I never really let myself believe, and...
39:48The hell am I gonna do now?
39:50Well, you put your keys back in your purse, cause I'm driving.
39:53I will be drinking Virgin Bloody Marys, but you, my friend, you, are drinking margaritas.
40:01Okay.
40:09Dr. St. Clair, send her to the station.
40:11Dr. St. Clair, send her to the station.
40:20Mr. Bannister?
40:27My name is Stuart.
40:31I believe I'm...
40:35Belinda's grandfather.
40:37I don't know. Maybe the living room?
40:48Yeah, maybe.
40:52That's my grandfather, isn't it?
40:55Yeah.
40:57Is he still alive?
40:59If he is, I don't think he knows we are.
41:03Knock, knock.
41:06Cassandra.
41:07Hi.
41:08Hi.
41:09We're just debating where to put that painting.
41:11That wall seems a little bare.
41:13Yeah, that gets my vote.
41:15Ladies win.
41:16I'm gonna go.
41:20Hey, I'm...
41:21What I meant to say earlier is that you have a tough job, and I can be impulsive sometimes,
41:32you might have noticed.
41:33What I meant to say is that I'm damn glad you're okay that nobody got hurt, including Todd.
41:38He's a good person, Carl.
41:40I'm sure he is.
41:42My line of work...
41:44Sometimes it's easy to forget.
41:46Well, I will remind you then.
41:49To protect...
41:51That's my actual job.
41:53It's not just your job, though, Carl.
41:55It is you.
41:57And it is...
41:59It is loving.
42:00It is lovely.
42:02Sometimes, but it can suffocate.
42:05Cassandra, we're talking about a man with a knife.
42:08Todd was a risk I wanted to take.
42:10If a person comes at you with a weapon, I see the weapon.
42:13I need you to see me, Carl.
42:16I am an adult.
42:25I lost myself in a relationship once.
42:28With Terrence, a professor.
42:31Yeah, he was, um...
42:34He was 20 years older than me, and he was wise and commanding.
42:39And, uh...
42:43Never again.
42:49I don't know how else to show you that I care.
42:53Carly, you can...
42:59You can just make me dinner.
43:23I don't know how long this will happen.
