00:00:00Oh, why?
00:00:30Oh, why?
00:01:00Every baker knows that a good recipe is worth its weight in gold.
00:01:07The right recipe is a perfect fit, not something you can force into place.
00:01:17People say it's about using the best ingredients, and that's true too.
00:01:21But if you don't put in the right ingredient with the precise amount at the proper moment,
00:01:32it can turn into a mess, or worse, become inedible.
00:01:37But when you get it just right, it's magic.
00:01:42Is it just me, or is it busier than usual today?
00:01:53Don't worry, Lisa.
00:01:54We have plenty of time to get through all of our customers,
00:01:57and we will still have time to plan your Herman family reunion.
00:02:01Well, if anyone can do it, it's you, Hannah.
00:02:03But feel free to throw some cold water on my face in case I start to freak out.
00:02:07Deal.
00:02:08All we have to do is pick a location, find the games for the kids,
00:02:11and choose the desserts that you want.
00:02:13Do you need that cold water?
00:02:14It's just so important to me that this will be perfect for my family.
00:02:17I don't want any, um, mishaps.
00:02:22Of course there are not going to be any.
00:02:24Promise?
00:02:24Yoo-hoo!
00:02:26Oh, hello.
00:02:27Welcome to the cookie jar.
00:02:28May I help you?
00:02:29I would like to order four of your banana cream pies for delivery to my home on Saturday, please.
00:02:34Four banana cream pies for Miss Basco.
00:02:37Oh, Victoria, please, darling.
00:02:39I know you have supported several of the Murrayville Players' performances.
00:02:43Oh, yes, I love going to the plays, and you're wonderful in them.
00:02:47Okay, so four pies, that will be $50, and the delivery fee is on me.
00:02:52Oh, what a generous spirit you have.
00:02:55So old-fashioned.
00:02:56I'm the same.
00:02:57I hope you take checks.
00:02:59Mother!
00:03:01Oh, hello.
00:03:02Hello.
00:03:03Are you in the mood for something special today?
00:03:07Oh.
00:03:13Dolores, I almost didn't recognize you.
00:03:16Oh, haven't been sleeping?
00:03:18Hmm.
00:03:19Never better.
00:03:21But, Victoria, dear, you must be careful with that squinting.
00:03:26What a beautiful hair clip.
00:03:28Is that an antique?
00:03:30It was a gift.
00:03:31It's perfect for my next role.
00:03:34My character is a famous tango dancer, and we were just working on the choreography.
00:03:38I thought it was an odd perfume.
00:03:43Well, here's your seat.
00:03:44Thank you so much, and 3 p.m. on Saturday for the delivery.
00:03:48Oh, that's perfect.
00:03:49If you didn't have two left to be, you might have been cast.
00:03:54What?
00:03:57Break a leg!
00:04:00How dare she?
00:04:01What is going on between you two?
00:04:03She is never going to treat me as an equal with the Murrayville players.
00:04:07Well, isn't she the stuff?
00:04:08She bought four pies from you, on purpose, Santa.
00:04:12She wanted me to know.
00:04:13You think it has something to do with the theater?
00:04:15Must be.
00:04:17She's famous for her parties.
00:04:19Oh.
00:04:19Mother, maybe it's just a party for her family or her friends.
00:04:23No, it has to be for the actors.
00:04:24And she is keeping me out intentionally, because I have been scooping up some fatless rules lately.
00:04:32Oh.
00:04:32Victoria Basco cannot stand a little competition.
00:04:36Well, it must be as you've always said to me.
00:04:39Thank you so much.
00:04:41Success is the best revenge, isn't it?
00:04:43Banana bun cake.
00:04:44Perfect.
00:04:44I'll put it in the case.
00:04:45You should slice up my mother some chocolate banana bread.
00:04:48I'd love to.
00:04:51Lisa.
00:04:52Yes.
00:04:53Do I look a little tired to you?
00:04:58Loris.
00:05:00You've never looked better.
00:05:01Really.
00:05:02Really.
00:05:02Oh.
00:05:03Really, darling.
00:05:05Da-da.
00:05:08Hi.
00:05:17Hi.
00:05:18Hello.
00:05:18Oh, thank you for coming.
00:05:19Oh, well, what's all about secrecy?
00:05:21Why couldn't you just tell me on the phone?
00:05:23Because I didn't know if you were with Mother.
00:05:24Well, why didn't you just ask?
00:05:26It's because.
00:05:27If I asked you, if Mother was there and she heard that, she would know I was up to something
00:05:30and she wouldn't give up until she found out what it was.
00:05:32Hmm.
00:05:32And what about Lonnie and Michelle if they weren't on a cruise?
00:05:35Well, Michelle told me not to call her unless it was an emergency.
00:05:38Oh.
00:05:38I see how it is.
00:05:39I'm just kidding.
00:05:39I'm sorry.
00:05:40You're my favorite sister and you're an expert in all these things.
00:05:43I know.
00:05:44Especially about this.
00:05:45So you can get comfortable, maybe put your feet up, get cozy.
00:05:51Okay.
00:05:51I made some tea, your favorite tea.
00:05:52Would you like some tea?
00:05:53Yeah.
00:05:54I would love that thing.
00:05:54Great.
00:05:55That's so nice.
00:05:56Isn't this lovely?
00:05:58So what is it?
00:06:01Chad asked me on a date.
00:06:04Aw, when?
00:06:05Tonight.
00:06:06Tonight?
00:06:07Are you insane?
00:06:09How could you just bring this on me?
00:06:11How much time do we have?
00:06:12Wait, don't ask for that.
00:06:13Not enough.
00:06:14We need to get your hair done.
00:06:15We need to find you an outfit.
00:06:17Are we kidding?
00:06:17You don't have anything to wear.
00:06:19Oh, no.
00:06:20Where are you going?
00:06:21Lamour on 3rd.
00:06:23I'm going to pass out.
00:06:24This is a nightmare.
00:06:25I think it's going to be nice.
00:06:26Hannah, this is no time for jokes.
00:06:28Upstairs.
00:06:29Now.
00:06:29Now with the teacup.
00:06:30Mother will kill you.
00:06:34It's so hot.
00:06:35It's so hot.
00:06:37So you have to tell me that you're going to put this in your purse and reapply every hour.
00:06:40Every hour.
00:06:41Okay.
00:06:42Okay.
00:06:42Yeah.
00:06:43And he's early.
00:06:44Yeah, he's so early.
00:06:45Wait, I don't.
00:06:45No.
00:06:46I'm just kidding.
00:06:46I know.
00:06:47I just want to fix it.
00:06:48Stop it.
00:06:49Stop it.
00:06:49Stop it.
00:06:50In your hair.
00:06:51Okay.
00:06:52Take a breath.
00:06:52I'm taking it out.
00:06:53Okay.
00:06:53Good.
00:06:54Here we go.
00:06:55There you go.
00:06:55Try this.
00:06:56I'm coming.
00:06:58Take a breath.
00:06:59I got it.
00:06:59Are you right?
00:07:00I got it.
00:07:00What about this?
00:07:01Here.
00:07:02Here.
00:07:02Oh.
00:07:05We're good.
00:07:06We're good.
00:07:11Hi.
00:07:12Hi.
00:07:13You're early.
00:07:14Oh, yeah.
00:07:15Well, you can thank the ring cord for that.
00:07:17If you are on time, you are late.
00:07:19I can't wait in the car, though.
00:07:20No.
00:07:21No, of course not.
00:07:22That would be crazy.
00:07:23Okay.
00:07:23I got these for you.
00:07:26Oh.
00:07:27Yeah.
00:07:27They were all out of spelt and whole wheat, so I had to go with the roses.
00:07:32That's what you did there.
00:07:34Should we put them in water before we go?
00:07:36Yeah.
00:07:36Of course.
00:07:37Come inside, and I'll put them in water.
00:07:49Oh, this is a great place.
00:07:51Oh, thanks.
00:07:52It's very you.
00:07:53Yeah, it's perfect for me and Moysha.
00:07:56Is this Moysha right here?
00:07:58No, that's just something I got at the Lake Eden College Art Fair.
00:08:03But Moysha likes it, don't you, Moysha?
00:08:05Oh, there he is.
00:08:07Hi.
00:08:07Did you come to say hello?
00:08:08You look beautiful.
00:08:31Should we get going?
00:08:32Um, yes.
00:08:33Yes.
00:08:34Let's.
00:08:34That'd be great.
00:08:35I wish we could bring you with us, pal.
00:08:40Here, I got it.
00:08:40I'll tell him all about it after.
00:08:46So, just to be clear, that is one of your sisters in the pantry, right?
00:08:51Yeah.
00:08:53Is she going to stay in there all night?
00:08:56No, no.
00:08:57Andrea will come out as soon as we leave.
00:08:58Oh, Andrea.
00:09:00Okay.
00:09:00Goodbye, Andrea.
00:09:02Have so much fun.
00:09:05I'm sleeping on the floor because I don't want to wake up ten minutes earlier and make
00:09:12my bed every morning.
00:09:13Well, hospital corners take time.
00:09:17No.
00:09:18Exactly.
00:09:19And the gamble paid off for a while.
00:09:21And I was wondering why everybody wasn't doing this.
00:09:23And then one night I found out.
00:09:25Oh, no.
00:09:25Yeah, the drill sergeant came in at 2 a.m. for a spot inspection, yelling.
00:09:30But, I mean, that's normal.
00:09:31In the Marine Corps, everything's on a level 10.
00:09:33Okay, but what did he say?
00:09:34He said, I guess you like sleeping on the floor, son.
00:09:36I guess you don't need this bed.
00:09:38What?
00:09:38And he took the bed, the rack, the mattress, the pillows, blanket, everything, and threw
00:09:42it out into the quad.
00:09:43Okay, well, I mean, that's not that bad, right?
00:09:45Uh, if it wasn't pouring rain outside.
00:09:48What?
00:09:49It got soaking wet.
00:09:51He said, get your butt out there immediately, bring everything back in, and that's what
00:09:54you're sleeping on tonight.
00:09:55Don't ever let me catch you sleeping on the floor again, son.
00:09:59That is a harsh way to learn that lesson.
00:10:01One you won't soon forget.
00:10:03Okay, so you survived boot camp.
00:10:05Barely.
00:10:05And then you were deployed overseas?
00:10:07Yeah, yeah.
00:10:08I spent a little bit of time kind of living everywhere.
00:10:11What about you?
00:10:12What's your story?
00:10:14Definitely not as interesting as yours.
00:10:16I don't know about that.
00:10:18Have you always lived here?
00:10:19I'm from Lake Eden.
00:10:21I went to college in Minneapolis.
00:10:23I was going to go into advertising, if you can believe that.
00:10:26Absolutely.
00:10:27You'd be great at that.
00:10:28You just changed your mind?
00:10:31My father became ill.
00:10:33So I...
00:10:36So I moved back home.
00:10:38I've always loved baking, so I went to culinary school.
00:10:41And I did get to travel a little.
00:10:42I went to these specialty courses in Paris and Milan.
00:10:45Wow.
00:10:46I found my dream.
00:10:48That's incredible.
00:10:49Not many people can say they love what they do.
00:10:52I know.
00:10:53You do too.
00:10:55I do.
00:10:55I love the justice system and the reencore.
00:10:59You expect me to pay for this meal after this?
00:11:02Every chair in this place squeaks and scrapes, made worse by the overly loud music I've asked
00:11:08four times to be turned down.
00:11:10I want to speak to your manager.
00:11:11Right now.
00:11:12Come on.
00:11:12Wow.
00:11:15That was intense.
00:11:16Jeez.
00:11:17You know, I have those little felt squares you put under chairs.
00:11:20It helps prevent the noise.
00:11:21Also, keeps my hardwood floors from getting scratched up.
00:11:25I didn't notice my chair making a sound when I sat down.
00:11:28Oh, I did.
00:11:29But I picked the chair up when I scooted the back, so you wouldn't have to hear the scrape
00:11:31before you sat down.
00:11:33Oh.
00:11:34You want dessert?
00:11:36How about just coffee?
00:11:43Do you think Mother survives standing on stage next to Victoria Basco?
00:11:47I honestly don't know.
00:11:48But if they can avoid throwing rotten tomatoes at each other, I think we should take that
00:11:52as a success.
00:11:53That's a pretty little bar.
00:11:54I know.
00:11:55Oh, hey.
00:11:56Ooh, VIP tickets.
00:11:58Where did we get those?
00:11:58Let's go find out.
00:11:59What?
00:11:59No.
00:12:00Wait, man.
00:12:03Hi, I'm Andrea Swenson Bennett.
00:12:06Hi, Tanya Harmon.
00:12:09Oh, Swenson, you must be with Dolores.
00:12:10Yes, we're her daughters.
00:12:12We've met before.
00:12:13Hannah from the cookie jar.
00:12:14And this is my sister, Andrea.
00:12:16Do you have an envelope for us?
00:12:19No.
00:12:20You have to be VIP status to get reserved seats.
00:12:23But you can get season tickets or packages of five shows.
00:12:26So they bought the packages?
00:12:29Who are they?
00:12:30Are they someone's family?
00:12:31You mean them?
00:12:32Yes.
00:12:33Oh, no family.
00:12:34That is part of Victoria's broad fan base.
00:12:37People come from everywhere to watch her perform.
00:12:40And they actually buy VIP tickets?
00:12:43Oh, yeah.
00:12:44She single-handedly keeps this place in the black.
00:12:46Wow.
00:12:47No idea.
00:12:48We rent the place out for other events, too.
00:12:50But with Victoria around, I don't even have to worry about that.
00:12:55Mother's going to close her eyes.
00:12:57Yes.
00:12:58Let's get a drink.
00:12:59Oh, popcorn?
00:13:00Yeah.
00:13:01Oh.
00:13:14Hi.
00:13:14Sorry I'm late.
00:13:15Wow, you look beautiful.
00:13:16Oh, thank you.
00:13:17Has it started?
00:13:20Am I late?
00:13:21Oh, uh, it started about ten minutes ago.
00:13:24She'll know I'm late.
00:13:24She'll see I'm not in my seat.
00:13:26Oh, don't worry.
00:13:27I'm sure it's not that bad.
00:13:28You don't understand my aunt.
00:13:29Last time I was late, she threatened to cut me out of her will.
00:13:31I love my aunt, of course.
00:13:33I mean, maybe when she's gone, I'll have to change the name, the Victoria Theater.
00:13:37That's nice, right?
00:13:38Yeah.
00:13:39Sure.
00:13:40Let's see a change.
00:13:44That's all I came through.
00:13:48Okay, we don't have to commit to the location until you've had a chance to see it.
00:13:51No, Hannah, it sounds perfect.
00:13:53This time of year, you just can't depend on the weather, and these reunions are so important
00:13:56to my whole family.
00:13:57Oh, I'm sure they are.
00:13:58Hey, the cupcakes are cool, so will you grab the icing?
00:14:01Yes.
00:14:02And the Murrayville Community Hall has a break in their schedule between plays, so there
00:14:06shouldn't be any conflicts.
00:14:07Oh, perfect.
00:14:08Lisa, Lisa!
00:14:11Look at you!
00:14:12Jennifer.
00:14:14Hi.
00:14:15This is a surprise?
00:14:16What?
00:14:16No hug for your favorite cousin?
00:14:20Yes, let me put this down.
00:14:25Hi, I'm Hannah Swenson.
00:14:26Oh, I know all about you from Lisa.
00:14:28Lisa!
00:14:29That...
00:14:30Oh!
00:14:32Aunt Sissy didn't tell me you were in town.
00:14:34Oh, I actually haven't seen them yet.
00:14:36Really?
00:14:36Are you excited for your family reunion?
00:14:38Of course, can't wait.
00:14:39It's been years since I've seen you, Lisa.
00:14:42You haven't changed a bit.
00:14:45Let's get you some coffee.
00:14:47And a cookie on that.
00:14:49How about one of those?
00:14:52Oh.
00:14:53Of course.
00:14:54Yeah.
00:14:55It's fine.
00:14:55Help yourself.
00:14:56Oh, where are my manners?
00:15:00Thank you, Hannah.
00:15:01No problem.
00:15:05So, are you staying with your mom?
00:15:09Actually, I was looking at a show with you.
00:15:12With me?
00:15:13Really?
00:15:13Yeah.
00:15:14It'll be like old times when we used to have sleepovers and build forts in the backyard.
00:15:18Well, I am not sleeping in the backyard this time.
00:15:20You know what I mean.
00:15:21It'll be fun.
00:15:23Yeah.
00:15:24Yeah, it'll be fun.
00:15:26Can't wait.
00:15:26It'll be fun.
00:15:42Oh, my God.
00:16:12Oh, no.
00:16:24Help. You have to send an ambulance, please. As soon as possible.
00:16:32I smell something burning.
00:16:34Oh, no.
00:16:42Now, what exactly did you touch here in this kitchen?
00:17:01Oh, um...
00:17:01No, no, no. Just tell me.
00:17:03Right. Right. The pan.
00:17:05I took that, um, tea cloth and moved it and took it off the burner. I mean, the burner was on full.
00:17:12But you say nothing was in it.
00:17:13Right. No. I mean, you could tell the pan's never been used before. It doesn't even have a ring for a watermark.
00:17:19And you're sure the door was locked?
00:17:21Yes. I'm totally sure that I would not have broken a window if the door was unlocked.
00:17:25Okay. Okay. I know. Guys, do your thing. Let's sweep this place top to bottom.
00:17:29Yeah, you did the right thing. You had to try and save her.
00:17:33Yeah, thank you.
00:17:36Uh, you broke that window?
00:17:38Yeah. Yeah, I'm sorry if I ruined evidence.
00:17:42Not at all. I'm actually, uh, very impressed.
00:17:44I'm sure Eileen's team can get to the bottom of this with or without your fingerprints everywhere. Right, Sheriff?
00:17:50Yeah, of course. I believe we already have your prints on file, uh, breaking and entering at a junkyard, if I recall.
00:17:56Hmm. Really?
00:18:01Just don't touch anything else.
00:18:03Hey, are you cut? Do you need to see a medic?
00:18:05No, I'm fine. I just wish...
00:18:08Hey, it's okay. Okay, listen, if anybody could have saved her, it would have been you, Hannah.
00:18:13Norton, we need to talk.
00:18:17Right. Yeah. Um, I gotta get back to work.
00:18:20Right. I'm so sorry. Uh, bye.
00:18:23Bye.
00:18:26Well, Murphy picked a bad time to go for a cruise.
00:18:30You got another detective in mind to take over the case?
00:18:32No. Victoria was a hometown celebrity. I better handle this myself.
00:18:36I don't want a bunch of bad press for letting some rookie get involved.
00:18:39And I'm sure Victoria's family would be happy to know you're handling this.
00:18:42She has that one nephew, but he has been notified.
00:18:45All right, let me show you this.
00:18:46Oh, Hannah.
00:19:03I should have known when I heard all those sirens rushing past that you were involved.
00:19:08Well, I had no idea that you and Victoria were practically neighbors.
00:19:11Every time I say you're Victoria, and what is the name of your neighbor?
00:19:14Oh, Jacob Tessling.
00:19:15Right, Mr. Tessling.
00:19:17Always looking for an excuse to see who's arriving in the neighborhood.
00:19:20Oh.
00:19:21Really? Well, I don't think that Victoria was caught off guard by a thief or anything like that.
00:19:27I think she opened the door to the killer.
00:19:30Oh, that's horrible.
00:19:31Why would you think that, Hannah?
00:19:32She had her fine china out.
00:19:34Two mugs, both filled.
00:19:36But didn't you say she was in a dressing gown?
00:19:38I don't know if it was a dressing gown.
00:19:40What do they call them?
00:19:40The things, the flowy things you wear in the morning.
00:19:42Oh, honey, that's not a robe.
00:19:44That's a captain.
00:19:45Well, whatever you call it.
00:19:47And she was strangled by the belt?
00:19:48No, it was with her scarf.
00:19:50It was right there next to her.
00:19:51Well, at least that tells us that the killer did not bring their own murder weapon.
00:19:55Spontaneous crime?
00:19:56Maybe the killer just wanted to make sure they didn't leave any evidence behind.
00:20:00Very likely that the killing happened in the heat of the moment.
00:20:03Victoria had that effect on people.
00:20:05Andrea, please, I need some cookies, honey.
00:20:07It's brain food.
00:20:09Help me think.
00:20:09Poor smother.
00:20:10I will be right back.
00:20:12Oh, and before I forget, she was in the kitchen when it happened.
00:20:15Victoria was cooking something.
00:20:17Maybe she was trying to get ready for the party she was throwing tonight.
00:20:20It's highly unlikely.
00:20:22Victoria was known as the diva of delivery.
00:20:25In fact, Tessling, our neighbor, always used to complain that all the delivery drivers
00:20:29every night would knock on his door instead of trying to find her address.
00:20:34She's going to be so...
00:20:36How are we going to find out what that party was all about?
00:20:38That party is our first big lead.
00:20:41Well, you should ask the actors if they were invited to the party.
00:20:45What?
00:20:45And I can't stop thinking about that pan.
00:20:47It was smoking when I got there.
00:20:49That would have been bad for the whole neighborhood.
00:20:51Well, maybe that's it.
00:20:52Maybe it wasn't Victoria.
00:20:53Maybe it was the killer trying to start a fire.
00:20:55You know, to cover his tracks.
00:20:57It's a very good way to cover one's tracks.
00:21:04I don't have any new details in this article.
00:21:08Oh.
00:21:11Hello?
00:21:11Hey.
00:21:12How are you?
00:21:14Hi, Chad.
00:21:16You know, just thinking about how if I'd left the bakery five minutes earlier, I might have
00:21:20been there in time to save her.
00:21:21Yeah, but you also might have put yourself in danger if you did that.
00:21:24I know.
00:21:25You're right.
00:21:26Were you there with your sister?
00:21:27No.
00:21:28She offered, but I kind of wanted to be alone.
00:21:30Besides, I have Moisha here.
00:21:32You're reading about the case, aren't you?
00:21:35No.
00:21:35Ealing is investigating this himself.
00:21:39I'm sure that we'll have answers pretty quickly.
00:21:42I know you're right.
00:21:42And you don't want Ealing to catch you messing around with this case.
00:21:46I don't want to upset the sheriff.
00:21:48Besides, I have Lisa's family reunion to organize, so I'm very busy.
00:21:51Oh, yeah, of course.
00:21:52Right.
00:21:53Totally.
00:21:54You want to make sure I don't involve myself in the case?
00:21:57No, I just, um...
00:21:59You know, I want to hear your voice, see how you were.
00:22:05Oh.
00:22:07And I can hear you're doing great, so I should, uh, you know, get back at it.
00:22:13Okay.
00:22:15I'll see you tomorrow, though, huh?
00:22:17Okay.
00:22:18Good night.
00:22:21Did you hear that?
00:22:23He was calling a check on me.
00:22:24Okay.
00:22:29Dolores!
00:22:47Are you looking for something?
00:22:49Oh, no, just a little lost.
00:22:52Well, have you heard the terrible news?
00:22:54Oh, my yes.
00:22:55I read about it in the paper this morning.
00:22:58You must just be devastated.
00:23:00And all the actors, I can't even imagine what you're going through.
00:23:03Oh, thank you, Tanya, for your compassion.
00:23:06This will be difficult for us, we Mariville players, to weather this storm.
00:23:12Of course.
00:23:13Well, let me know if there's anything I can do.
00:23:15Yes.
00:23:16Well, uh, actually, uh...
00:23:18Tanya, you know everything that goes on here.
00:23:21Was Victoria on bad terms with anyone?
00:23:25Besides you?
00:23:26Well, ours was just a classic rivalry between actresses.
00:23:33Crawford never really wanted to hurt Betty Davis, you know.
00:23:36Well, I can't imagine it.
00:23:37I mean, everyone loved her.
00:23:39Did you see the latest reviews?
00:23:41This show was going to be another sellout.
00:23:42Yeah.
00:23:43I know.
00:23:47Well, uh, if you think of anything, please just let me know.
00:23:52Sheriff.
00:24:13Sheriff.
00:24:13What a surprise.
00:24:20Miss Swenson, I am sorry to interrupt at a bad time, but I need to ask you a few questions.
00:24:25Oh, of course.
00:24:27But where are my manners?
00:24:29Please, uh, come on in and pull the door shut, will you?
00:24:32May I offer you, uh, uh, some coffee or perhaps a cookie?
00:24:38They're both from the cookie jar.
00:24:39Uh, no, ma'am, thank you.
00:24:40Uh, I am here on a professional matter.
00:24:43Oh, I knew it.
00:24:47I am so glad to be of service.
00:24:51Excuse me?
00:24:52However my little detective agency can help, we are here.
00:24:57Ready for duty.
00:24:59Oh, uh.
00:25:00Actually, I am not quite ready.
00:25:03Now, I need to get gussied up again, but I am so fast.
00:25:05I'll be ready lickety-split.
00:25:07No, you look beautiful.
00:25:09How long have you known Victoria Basco?
00:25:11Oh, who can keep track of the years?
00:25:15Try.
00:25:17Okay, uh, since I moved to this neighborhood, eight years, maybe ten.
00:25:22And would you say you and Miss Basco got along well?
00:25:25Well, we never even really knew each other until I joined the Murrayville Players.
00:25:30The truth is, Victoria did not like sharing the spotlight.
00:25:35But at our core, we loved each other as all actors do.
00:25:39Part of the trials and tribulations of being in the theater, you might say.
00:25:45Is there something specific I could help you with?
00:25:52I'm going to ask you not to leave town, Miss Swenson.
00:25:56Oh, okay, why?
00:25:58You're a person of interest in the death of Victoria Basco.
00:26:01How could Sheriff Ealing just accuse you like that?
00:26:12He has to know you're not capable of killing anyone.
00:26:15Well, everyone has their limits, darling.
00:26:19But if he thinks that he's going to scare me away from this case, he's got another thing coming.
00:26:24Well, if he told you not to investigate, you probably shouldn't.
00:26:28A-2, brute-A.
00:26:31I have to side with Mother, Hannah.
00:26:33If you're not really in the best position to suggest anybody else, stay out of it.
00:26:37All right, all right, I'm in.
00:26:40So where do we start?
00:26:41First, we have to establish who Victoria was closest to.
00:26:44We met her nephew, Roger, at one of your performances.
00:26:49What was it like?
00:26:50It was kind of odd, actually.
00:26:51We had just met him, but Joy is still on stage performing,
00:26:54but already he was talking about how he was going to spend her money when he inherited it.
00:26:58Wait, we?
00:27:01Chad and me.
00:27:02Really?
00:27:03Yeah, yeah.
00:27:04He likes your plays, Mother.
00:27:06I told you that.
00:27:07And is there anything else you want to reveal to me, Hannah Louise?
00:27:12You told her.
00:27:13Oh, I didn't want to tell her.
00:27:15She tricked me.
00:27:15No, you always do this.
00:27:17I always confide in you, and you always just...
00:27:18All right, girls, stop.
00:27:22Hannah, this is no time to go into your escapades.
00:27:25We need to get down to business.
00:27:27Now, come on.
00:27:29All right, I will investigate Roger.
00:27:30All right, and I will begin a hell of a investigation.
00:27:34A what?
00:27:35Fishing net.
00:27:36I don't get it.
00:27:38Information gathering.
00:27:41What's to explain everything?
00:27:42Oh, well, that one.
00:27:44I mean, it was...
00:27:45You want to do something.
00:27:47Morning, Michelle, and I'll back till next week.
00:27:49Me?
00:27:50I thought this was a we.
00:27:52Okay, I got peanut butter for Blake, got a double chocolate for Roxanne, and, um...
00:27:58Hi.
00:27:59Do you know everyone's favorite cookie?
00:28:02Everyone except you, that I'm working on it.
00:28:06Double chocolate.
00:28:07I'm glad you stopped by.
00:28:08Yeah, I can't believe everyone's here working on a Sunday, not just you.
00:28:12I know.
00:28:13One of my colleagues, another prosecutor, had to take an unexpected leave of absence, so...
00:28:18Ah.
00:28:19As you can see, I have a few new cases on my dance.
00:28:22Oh, wow.
00:28:23Yeah, that's a lot.
00:28:25Anything interesting I might want to watch in court?
00:28:28Well, hopefully Lucas will be back before these go to trial, but I'll let you know.
00:28:31So, I want to talk to you about the Victoria Basco case.
00:28:41Now, this is not new information, right?
00:28:43This is something you've already told healing.
00:28:45Yes, yes.
00:28:45I told Sheriff Healing everything.
00:28:47Okay, good.
00:28:48Shoot.
00:28:49The pan on the stovetop.
00:28:51The one that was smoking could have caused a fire.
00:28:54Exactly.
00:28:54But I was wondering, what if it wasn't the killer trying to cover his tracks by starting a fire?
00:29:00What if it was Victoria herself?
00:29:03Then why would you think that?
00:29:04Maybe.
00:29:05She was trying to create a distraction.
00:29:07It's an interesting theory.
00:29:09It would be a smart way to signal for help by setting off the smoke alarm.
00:29:12Right.
00:29:13Exactly.
00:29:14Okay.
00:29:15And where are you going with this?
00:29:16Because it could be argued in court that it was an accident.
00:29:19Plenty of people, they forget to turn the burners on their stove off all the time.
00:29:22Right.
00:29:24But either way, it just proves that there was someone alive inside that house right before I got there.
00:29:30The pan was smoking.
00:29:31It wasn't burnt yet, which means it could only have been five minutes, ten minutes tops.
00:29:35And that burner was on full blast.
00:29:37So in your theory, it was either Victoria signaling for help, or it was the killer trying to start a fire.
00:29:43Right.
00:29:43Either way, it happened only minutes before I arrived to deliver those pies.
00:29:48I do need your testimony and the forensic evidence from the burning pan to establish a timeline during the trial.
00:29:54We just have to find the right suspect for you to take to trial.
00:29:58Ealing needs to find?
00:29:59Is that what you meant to say?
00:30:02How did that go, by the way, given your statement?
00:30:04It was fine.
00:30:04I mean, I told him everything I could remember, which unfortunately isn't very much.
00:30:08All right.
00:30:09Well, just keep thinking about it.
00:30:11Were there any cars in the parking lot?
00:30:13Were there any other people there, even if you thought they might have the right to be there?
00:30:16Like a gardener or maybe a, I don't know, electrician, painter?
00:30:20You know about my mother, don't you?
00:30:25Yeah.
00:30:29Ealing said that he learned that she and Miss Basco were not on the best of terms.
00:30:36My mother didn't do anything to hurt Victoria Basco, and I am going to prove it.
00:30:41Okay.
00:30:42Look, just keep going over the details of that day, all right?
00:30:48Even if you don't think they're important, they might be important to the investigation.
00:30:51And anything that you find out, you tell Ealing.
00:30:57Okay, I'm going to get back to work.
00:30:59Um, right, of course.
00:31:02Thanks for taking the time.
00:31:03Thank you for stopping by and feeding my staff.
00:31:06Yeah, sure.
00:31:19Snickerdoodle?
00:31:22It's worth a shot.
00:31:23Dolores, there's no time for all of us.
00:31:53Hey, hey, hey, hey.
00:32:04Don't touch that.
00:32:05Oh, not contagious.

00:32:28Oh, our dressing room is so much better than mine.
00:32:45All right, Victoria.
00:32:54So what secrets are you hiding in here?
00:33:02This touch.
00:33:03What do we have here?
00:33:10Yeah!

00:37:03bigger than she claimed it was okay even if it was what what does that prove it shows dolores had

00:38:09always making noise she always had a group of people hanging around
00:38:12that must have been so frustrating for you putting up with all that noise did you try talking to her
00:38:24about it or talking to her boyfriend look i don't know anything about a boyfriend there was always a
00:38:29crowd they get here late and then they'd be going with music till one two o'clock in the morning

00:38:35look i didn't write into the hoa or anything you know why not because i'm not like that it was just
00:38:44a friendly disagreement you understand yeah i think i understand
00:38:57i finally remembered where i know the neighbor from well did you see him the night victoria was killed
00:39:03i saw him at lamor he was making a scene because he was upset about how loud the restaurant was he
00:39:08was really intense about it intense enough to kill yes well i don't know but i definitely think we
00:39:14should add him to our suspect list okay it sounds mother
00:39:27you were cutting it too close this time mother i had everything under control darling i'm not sure
00:39:31that's true thank you what happened good what are you wearing she went in disguise to the theater

00:39:49came in to buy the pies right oh please she was just wearing it to rub it in that she got cast in the
00:39:54the lead realm in our next play mission recipes i think she said it was a gift we should find out

00:40:12fracy and i take it together she loves it oh and she was also taking french classes
00:40:18and dance okay so we're gonna have to look into all of this right okay great perhaps she had a whole
00:40:27other life one that we never knew about if it turns out that that party wasn't for the actors maybe it
00:40:32was for her friends in one of these classes or her enemies exactly who wants to do what i should do
00:40:39the dance that's my thing my thing where'd you wear it okay i will do the french class um darling no one's
00:40:48gonna believe you're studying french i mean the second they go beyond food you will be a total noir
00:40:54in the dark exactly right okay well i could do the taekwondo okay great uh let's see what we have uh this
00:41:03is the schedule for the blue belt exam that takes years to learn we could make it for a couple
00:41:09classes right girls the key to this kind of investigation is fitting in it's called acting

00:42:25community hall guilty right by the front yes i i call it the delight wow great title you know i'm
00:42:34always trying to think of clever names for my cookies but the customers just want to know what's
00:42:39in them yes yeah no the eternal conflict between consumer and artist it's never ending
00:42:47your aunt was a great artist too tremendous talent you two must have been close
00:42:52very she had told me about this beautiful antique hair comb that she received as a gift was that a
00:42:59gift from you no no but she was always getting gifts from her fans and victoria and i would have
00:43:04our little dinners together and she would tell me all of her wild stories she had a lot of stories
00:43:09well that sounds nice what did she like to cook oh please she couldn't boil water no and victoria
00:43:16had her favorite restaurants and they always delivered right okay well um thank you for your time
00:43:23so thanks for meeting me late oh yeah i got slammed with cases right at five don't worry about it
00:43:33anything interesting well don't you worry i'll let you know if there's anything that you might be
00:43:38interested in what about you how's your investigation about oh well um i spoke to victoria's nephew he's
00:43:46her heir and he seemed sort of desperate for money well money is always a good motive if he becomes an
00:43:51official suspect then you won't be entitled to that money until it's cleared well i don't know what
00:43:54the sheriff is thinking but it's all kind of circumstantial stuff anyway circumstantial evidence
00:43:59gets a bad rap there's plenty of cases that are solved without forensics really i don't know
00:44:06so i'm also pursuing a love interest theory i have well she had a significant other well i don't know
00:44:12but she was seeking all these classes so i'm gonna find out if she was involved with anyone there
00:44:17my sister's gonna take paekwondo my mother's taking the french lessons you don't speak
00:44:21french i speak french food but that's not it you uh oh fancy yeah i mean i had to pick up a little
00:44:31for all the different places that i was stationed just so i can get by that how that works you're
00:44:35deployed to a different country and you have to figure out how to communicate i wasn't quite as
00:44:39extreme as that but pretty much wow yeah what's your assignment
00:44:43the dance class uh the what sorry so victoria was taking tango lessons or something well you don't
00:44:55sound very excited about that well if you need me dance you would understand i basically have two left
00:44:59feet well yeah let's see oh um is it this oh see i told you i can't dance now you know all my secrets
00:45:10i don't have a sneaky suspicion that i haven't even scratched the surface
00:45:24yeah but it's a it's a beginning class though right so what's the problem oh there is no problem
00:45:45i'm just gonna go and audit the class you know observe audit you're just gonna go and watch what
00:45:50are you gonna learn just watching do you have a better idea well thanks i do okay um i was thinking
00:45:56maybe i don't know call me crazy but you invite me to go along with you and we actually take the
00:46:01class better than just watching i mean yeah that would be fun um that's a great idea except for the
00:46:09uh did you leave your door open i don't think so light's not working power must be off stay here
00:46:26nine months what's your emergency you have to send the police there's an intruder in my house
00:46:39uh
00:46:53Cher, watch out, behind you!
00:47:14Here, Cher!
00:47:23The police should be here any second.
00:47:33Got no ID.
00:47:34What does that mean?
00:47:35Well, it doesn't look like he was here to steal anything.
00:47:37That means I think he was here for you.
00:47:40Oh, wait.
00:47:41That frying pan. That came in handy. Thanks.
00:47:44Are you okay? Can I just be...
00:47:47Should I get you some ice or something?
00:47:49You want Eileen to come here, interview us about this while I'm holding a boo-boo bear?
00:47:52No, no.
00:47:56Look, you got some place you can stay until we figure this out?
00:47:58Yeah, yeah, I could just stay with my mother.
00:48:00She's had her security system upgraded again.
00:48:03Chad, I'm so sorry.
00:48:05Oh, oh, oh, I'm sorry.
00:48:07It's okay.
00:48:10How about a sheep?
00:48:12Well, she will be safe here.
00:48:14That is state-of-the-art.
00:48:16They just upgraded their smartphone integration.
00:48:19Oh, end-to-end encryption, I'm assuming?
00:48:21Yeah.
00:48:22With an IT logger technology.
00:48:24Does it automatically perform a data web?
00:48:26Well, yes, it does.
00:48:27And if it senses a data breach, it will automatically launch an EDR counter-attack.
00:48:31End-point detection and response solution.
00:48:33Bingo.
00:48:34Impressive.
00:48:35Oh, he's impressive.
00:48:36Here.
00:48:44Your perp from last night isn't talking.
00:48:47We got an idea on him?
00:48:48Anything?
00:48:49Name?
00:48:50No.
00:48:51Asked for a lawyer.
00:48:52Public defender's with him right now.
00:48:53What about fingerprints?
00:48:54He's not in the system, Chad.
00:48:55I went through everything myself.
00:48:57Well, this isn't a burglary gone wrong.
00:48:59This guy is a pro.
00:49:00He was laying in wait for Hannah.
00:49:02He turned the power off.
00:49:03It's a good thing you were there.
00:49:04Yeah, well, don't underestimate Hannah.
00:49:07Oh, she's a quick one.
00:49:08Believe me, I don't.
00:49:11Okay, keep the pressure on him.
00:49:12Maybe his lawyer can talk some sense into him.
00:49:13We can offer him a plea due.
00:49:14All right, I'm on it.
00:49:27Hannah, I am so sorry.
00:49:28I did not mean to startle you.
00:49:29No, it's okay.
00:49:30It's okay.
00:49:31I'm sorry.
00:49:32Oh, no.
00:49:33Hannah?
00:49:34Oh!
00:49:35Hannah!
00:49:36Hannah!
00:49:37Andrea!
00:49:38Mother told me everything.
00:49:42I'm fine.
00:49:43I'm fine.
00:49:44You wore jeans on a date.
00:49:45Well, I see that she did not leave out any of the important details.
00:49:49That's what took so long she had to give me a play-by-play.
00:49:52Chad told me he doesn't know who this guy is or why he was coming after me, but I've been jumpy all morning.
00:49:57Well, of course.
00:49:58We have to be on high alert.
00:49:59That's why I'm going to post up over there for the rest of the day, and then Mother is going to take the after hours.
00:50:04What exactly is your plan if someone does come to get me?
00:50:06Oh, well, I mean, I am a brown belt, and then this.
00:50:10Whoa!
00:50:11Oh, there's safety.
00:50:12Of course.
00:50:13You know me.
00:50:14Of course.
00:50:15Yeah.
00:50:16I'm glad you're okay.
00:50:18And I'd also like a coffee.

00:51:42all right one slice banana cream pie latte who was lisa's friend of the pier matisse bank the
00:51:51what only the most famous purse designer of our generation never mind who was she oh uh well that
00:51:57was lisa's cousin she's here for their family reunion why why what why is it done in your house
00:52:11i don't know maybe because i'm getting too close in my investigation of victoria's murder
00:52:16no offense but are you no really not i mean i've been working on my suspect list but i haven't been
00:52:23able to narrow it down at all sure
00:52:31so it could be the noise phobic neighbor jacob right he gets upset that victoria's having another party
00:52:36and he goes over there to confront her or it could be the nephew who thought that he was getting a
00:52:40big inheritance or a boyfriend if there is one in one of those classes that we have to check out
00:52:46mother's in french class right now i am taking taekwondo tomorrow and you are taking a dance class
00:52:51yes i am i said i would okay just checking andrea what is that what i think it is
00:53:03that's a pure matisse original it's a limited edition which means
00:53:11we can't we can't tell you again no of course not because maybe her cousin got it somewhere else
00:53:15yeah sure when you see limited edition there's a waiting list i can check and see how many were
00:53:22sold in the u.s i'm in love with your shuffles
00:53:28mother oh ah hello
00:53:42i emailed you photos to print out oh great
00:53:49laugh
00:53:52didn't notice there was one gentleman student definitely a favorite of the ladies right
00:53:58do you think maybe he was dating victoria or maybe he was just obsessed with her do you think
00:54:02maybe he gave her the antique hair comb it's certainly not in mourning i'll do something great
00:54:10did you bring it of course i did
00:54:19merci
00:54:22those french bites just don't cut it not when you need chocolate
00:54:26but they do look nice
00:54:27but they do look nice bring a suspect has me at my woods and
00:54:31i understand mother please don't worry we are going to find out who really did this okay promise
00:54:38doesn't seem to be slowing you down at all though you look great
00:54:40is that a new outfit it's a classic meryl streep operation
00:54:44because she's such a good actress
00:54:46so much more hannah
00:54:47meryl disappears into a role
00:54:51the costume the cosmetic the coif one must become the character
00:55:01have any intel on the perp yet
00:55:03no he um hasn't said anything he did demand a word oh someone panicked to me you think i'm being
00:55:10targeted too you were the crime scene moments after the killer did the deed it's possible that he
00:55:18or she thinks you might know something but i don't i mean i've been over it with sheriff
00:55:23i didn't see anything i didn't see anything that could prove who the killer is well maybe you did and you just don't remember
00:55:34the camera loves her
00:55:57wonder we took our headshots mother probably not a conversation yeah we'll talk about photography
00:56:02later listen let's focus on finding roger okay everyone just keep your eyes open right right
00:56:08right oh wow oh
00:56:13brought the biggest flower arrangement of anyone i wonder how he paid for that
00:56:17oh i mean he is a really relative so it wouldn't make sense if he closed all out
00:56:21i guess so oh speaking of relatives we have to add lisa's cousin to our suspect list lisa's cousin
00:56:27yeah she came to the cookie jar with a pierre matisse bag like the one victoria had
00:56:32we win and you were gonna find out how many of those were made under a thousand you just know
00:56:39that of course victoria flaunted that bag everywhere i do not want to know what you did to get on the
00:56:47short list for a pierre matisse limited edition okay well now lisa's cousin has it right we need to
00:56:53find out why hello ladies sheriff they put together a nice event here today we all cared about victoria
00:57:02very much well if you'll excuse me
00:57:12she has to know i have a job to do of course we understand i think it's just a little harder when
00:57:17you're the suspect does the name john smith mean anything to you no sounds made up the point is you
00:57:27have real suspects to be focusing on and my mother has the weakest motive of anyone her colleagues
00:57:32won't even speak to her she doesn't have an alibi well but if she said she was with us would you even
00:57:37believe her exactly it would be better than nothing ah let's go have a lovely day okay but pardon me
00:57:58jennifer are you okay what happened nothing i'm fine you don't seem fine is my car okay of course
00:58:19you always think the worst your car is flying here well you didn't come home again last night yeah
00:58:27well so much to do so little time are you some kind of trouble jen like when we were younger if you're

00:58:56see roger do you think you left well oh my okay here what what just put it down
00:59:03that's why i called it's been very strange i mean actors you know how they are no i guess i don't
00:59:11really know a lot of actors well their egos can make things quite complicated right now you said you'd
00:59:17think about it was there anyone else that you thought that might have a reason to hurt victoria
00:59:23besides dolores no no
00:59:25i can't believe that she would say that about our mother i know but the sheriff has to know she's
00:59:36just emotional about losing victoria of course i found out
00:59:40oh shh what come on yeah hello roger sorry for your loss thank you that's very kind oh so many
00:59:51cared for victoria it's beautiful to see everyone gathered here today in this place that she just

01:01:35chad you got a second hey yeah come on in have a seat
01:01:45is this about hannah's attacker oh you could say that he's fired his public defender and he's got
01:01:51himself a pretty high-end defense attorney from saint paul how do you afford that we don't know
01:01:56that yet but i do have a name to file charges on um john smith are you kidding me i asked hannah
01:02:05she says she doesn't know anyone with that name yeah because it sounds like an alias this guy is
01:02:09jerking us around he could have been there to kill hannah for all we know i've got some informants trying
01:02:13to find out who this guy is and do you see who thinks he might have a line as to who hired him
01:02:17well some of the money and an agenda and we need to figure out who it is and quick before they try
01:02:22and hurt hannah again yes we do all right thanks yep
01:02:28oh i can feel you still seem nervous but don't worry we have the reunion under control it's gonna
01:02:36be great it's it's not the party it's something else i'm worried about my cousin jennifer oh why
01:02:44she has been acting so strange since she got back into town but you always said she was kind of wild
01:02:49right yeah this is different i'm i'm afraid she's i can't even say it well it always helps to say it out
01:02:58i can't help but remember she came in town the same night victoria basco was murdered i mean
01:03:06that's crazy right tell me i am being crazy i wish i could but andrea and i noticed something
01:03:13what the purse your cousin was carrying the other day it's a really fancy designer purse oh no and
01:03:20victoria basco had a similar purse andrea and my mother both say it's very rare what if jennifer had
01:03:26something to do with what happened to victoria we don't know anything yet right and the sheriff
01:03:30said he doesn't think that robbery was a book how did she even know anything about victoria
01:03:34how did she come here and get involved in something like this so quickly i have no idea but i'm gonna
01:03:39find out thanks again for your time yeah no problem sheriff if you think of anything else give me a call you bet

01:09:53of the ordinary good work andrea oh uh did you see this picture i took one for you i printed out
01:09:58that's eduardo the dance instructor handsome indeed how do you fit in this puzzle because if he loved
01:10:05her why would he kill her maybe she didn't love him jealousy maybe he was jealous because she was
01:10:11seeing someone else if i can't have no one can maybe it's the other way around maybe somebody else killed victoria because eduardo was interested in her
01:10:21maybe he is the motive well did you ever see him hanging around the theater oh honey there are
01:10:26so many fans who crowd the stage door after performances he does seem familiar but i can't be sure
01:10:33right oh uh and the sheriff did mention i got him to admit our nosy neighbor jacob tesling has an
01:10:40alibi so he's off our list well oh what about this gossipy theater manager tanya mother you cannot just
01:10:47go around accusing people just because she told the sheriff about your feud with victoria
01:10:53what would her motive be she is a bit of a misfit with the murrayville players maybe she's
01:10:58always wanted a chance to star on stage hannah isn't that basically what the sheriff thinks your
01:11:04motive is oh well what about this money hungry artistic nephew maybe you couldn't wait to get his
01:11:15hands on his inheritance classic motive careful andrea i could always change my will you know just
01:11:21leave everything to moisture is that so mother when you were taking the photos in victoria's dressing
01:11:26room did you touch anything uh i may have but i had gloves why because the sheriff said someone
01:11:34tossed the dressing room they were looking for something so now they're going to run it for
01:11:38fingerprints and dna and i don't want them to find yours oh oh we have a phone's off i know i know
01:11:47mother i'm sorry i forgot to bring her off but i have to take this lisa and i need help what happened
01:11:54my car's been stolen and i'm pretty sure i know who took it right hang on i'm on my way it's lisa
01:12:01she needs my help just don't let moisha eat my dinner take your phone thank you
01:12:08life with hannah can't live with her can't live without her
01:12:14now why don't you start from the beginning uh my cousin has been acting strange ever since she
01:12:19got back to lake eden this week and were you expecting her to return yeah well of course we're
01:12:25having our family reunion tomorrow night okay um please continue
01:12:34right anyway she showed up before most of my family actually sheriff the thing is she showed up at
01:12:41the cookie jar the same morning victoria basco was murdered okay now what makes you think the two
01:12:46things are connected well lisa's cousin jennifer is the one i told you about who came into the cookie
01:12:50jar carrying victoria's limited edition purse i know my mother said it's not just that it's rare
01:12:57you can't get it in any department store so a thousand were made for the u.s yeah and jennifer
01:13:02doesn't have the kind of money for a pierre matisse well if she just got to town how would she know
01:13:07anything about victoria basco let alone enough to target her or kill her just for a fancy purse well if it
01:13:13made sense we wouldn't be here okay but after this lisa you have to stop helping okay so you just
01:13:24sit back and relax and enjoy your family reunion how am i supposed to enjoy it when i'm keeping this
01:13:31secret about jennifer well we don't know for sure if jennifer was actually involved in victoria's murder
01:13:37right i mean chad even said that there's several other ways she could have gotten her hands on that
01:13:42purse really why'd she steal my car well i haven't figured that part out yet but i'm working on it
01:13:48i've just been getting texts all night and everybody's here and everybody's so excited
01:13:52and i'm so nervous well you shouldn't be i mean it's gonna work out it's gonna be

01:15:06came back out and it's on any of the photos of the crime scene see i knew you were gonna make a big
01:15:10deal out of this is that why you hired someone to threaten me because you knew i could place you at
01:15:14her house at the time of the murder yeah okay i just wanted him to scare you nothing more because
01:15:18i knew you would start making wild unfounded accusations and if i become a suspect i won't

01:16:50she took the bag to the sheriff apparently she found it behind a dumpster and knew it wasn't a knock-off
01:16:55okay yeah she was gonna try to sell it but then she saw your photos on the fridge with victoria
01:17:00in the bag and she thought it might be important well i'm really glad she took it to the sheriff yeah
01:17:04me too i just got off the phone with him and you know since my car is fine i'm okay dropping the
01:17:09charges i'm glad and now i don't have to tell my family anything about the murder no this is your

01:17:50oh it was so strange i found it in the dumpster around back here yeah is there anything in it
01:17:58like money a little no i meant like a hair comb um kind of an old-fashioned looking one oh
01:18:05nothing like that you know that sheriff has no idea what that purse is worth do you think i could
01:18:10ask for it back at some point or i think you should join your family and have a great time at the party
01:18:15thanks again hannah of course thanks for keeping my family from finding out i'm not sure the herman
01:18:21family would understand me being involved in a murder investigation you're welcome

01:19:05you don't have to do this you've left me no choice no
01:19:15okay okay
01:19:19you know the police arrested roger basco
01:19:22so as well that ends well how dare you quote shakespeare to me just like those actors making
01:19:29jokes as if i don't understand were you working with roger of course not that stupid fool all he
01:19:35cares about is his art
01:19:40you know you told me that you only knew victoria from this theater but you were going to her dance
01:19:45class it was my dance class my connection with eduardo oh and your hair comb he was gonna give it
01:19:52to me but then she ruined everything well i think you and eduardo still have a connection oh just stop it
01:20:01just shut up i need to think
01:20:02you can't get out from here hannah
01:20:16you don't know anything about the theater that's a fake knife
01:20:30what
01:20:45baking is sort of like acting sometimes you just gotta improvise
01:20:49oh
01:21:00don't move
01:21:04i got you
01:21:09oh what a performance
01:21:11huh courtesy of the cookie jar
01:21:13all right let's go back and play again
01:21:31actually i don't think so
01:21:33it's all coming together
01:21:54you start damsel in distress
01:21:57i haven't been able to figure it out how did you know that i was in trouble
01:22:00i was on my way to arrest miss harman i've been going through all the cell phones that
01:22:03pinged in victoria's neighborhood that day tanya's was there although she told me multiple times
01:22:08that she'd never seen victoria outside the theater we have a search warrant now to go through her
01:22:12data specifically my guess is that her lawyer is going to tell her not to go to trial so what's
01:22:17going to happen to roger well he's going to get victoria's inheritance he's just not going to be
01:22:20able to spend it for about three to five years there is justice and john smith has agreed to testify
