00:00Brett?
00:13Hello?
00:30Fred, honey, is that you?
00:55This morning is cursed.
00:57First, my alarm doesn't go off.
00:58Now my hair does this.
00:59I like your hair.
01:00No, I cannot find my earrings.
01:02That's my table drawer.
01:03Is there any mystery you can't solve?
01:08At least now you'll get what you need
01:10now that the budget's gone through.
01:15Well, this is happening.
01:16What?
01:17I asked Mayor Holman to meet before work,
01:20and she's just agreed.
01:22Why not just talk to her at the party?
01:24This isn't a conversation we can have at a party.
01:25Confidential counsel business.
01:29Oh, yeah.
01:31I was being asphyxed.
01:32Uh-huh.
01:34Frustrating, isn't it?
01:36Okay, bye.
01:37Bye.
01:38Bye.
01:38Someone left these for me.
01:43Left?
01:44At the library.
01:45I don't know who, and I can't be certain they're genuine,
01:48but I wanted to show them to you first.
01:50Before?
01:52Next steps.
01:53Ooh.
01:55Sounds sinister.
01:56Printouts of emails and text messages between you and Adley.
02:01A road.
02:02You want the town to build to service land held by Holman Developments.
02:05These are copies.
02:08I kept the originals.
02:10You're using taxpayer dollars to service your company's new subdivision.
02:15That will create hundreds of jobs
02:18and infuse millions of dollars into the local economy.
02:21Christy, this is a breach of trust.
02:24Whoa.
02:24What do you want, Cassie?
02:26Your new art center?
02:27This isn't about what I want.
02:29Quid pro quo.
02:30Here we have quid.
02:30I'm waiting for quo.
02:31I have to release this to counsel and to the media.
02:40I'm sorry, believe it or not.
02:42You've done a lot of good over the years.
02:46My lawyers are on standby,
02:48and they're very good lawyers.
02:52So you better be sure.
02:55I'll show myself out.
03:00Cassandra.
03:01Give me 24 hours before you release these.
03:13See you at the party tonight.
03:16Oh, you and Carl.
03:18Give your mother my best.
03:20Good news.
03:29The independent investigators cleared you for active duty.
03:32Studies just have to cross their T's, dot their I's.
03:36It was always a good shooting.
03:41Thanks, Chief.
03:44Layla.
03:44I'm good, sir.
03:48Really?
03:49Nobody's good.
03:50Not after something like this.
03:52You sleeping?
03:54Yes, sir.
03:55Enough.
03:56Four or five hours.
03:57We pulled in Garvey from night shift till Sid's back at work,
04:00so if you need a break, you tell me.
04:03Understood, sir.
04:05You mean a lot to this team, Corporal.
04:07You'll be kind to yourself, okay?
04:14No, no, no.
04:16Put that in the dining room, please.
04:19We'll say they're fakes.
04:20Except they're not.
04:22Some of these are from me and from you.
04:24I warned you both.
04:25How the hell did she get these?
04:27She said that someone delivered them anonymously.
04:30So what are you going to do?
04:31We're just going to fight, obviously.
04:34We will go ahead with the gathering.
04:36Of course.
04:37Head high.
04:38And we find out who leaked these, and we nuked their credibility.
04:42This is unbelievable.
04:47Okay.
04:48We're right there.
04:50Wait.
04:50Also, why are you going to this again?
04:52Part of your Mayor Holman's house.
04:54Counsel's going to be there.
04:56The movers and shakers are Gibsons.
04:58And, uh, I promise, Cassandra.
05:05Not bad.
05:06Looking like a real adult.
05:07Yeah.
05:10Okay, Dad, you're not wearing those socks.
05:12Okay, I'm going to grab you a better pair.
05:13Don't move.
05:17So, uh, when are you going to ask Cassandra to move in?
05:20You'd want that?
05:21Why not?
05:22I really like her, and she makes you happy.
05:26Well, I thought about it.
05:28Go for it.
05:29Nail your courage to whatever it is.
05:33Nail your courage.
05:34This Scottish play we're taking in school.
05:37It's a good line.
05:38I couldn't run after it.
05:40Ask Cassandra.
05:41Holy crap.
05:47Something wrong?
05:51What's this?
05:52Socks.
05:53This?
05:55It's in your sock drawer.
05:56Your grandmother's.
05:57Yeah.
05:58I thought I lost it, but then I found it ten years ago.
06:01And I was saving it for you or your sister.
06:04But then...
06:05But...
06:07Really?
06:11I'm waiting for the right moment.
06:16Thanks, Gil.
06:21Probably take this.
06:24Those socks are horrible.
06:26They gotta go.
06:27They're not the gym socks.
06:28It's screw your courage.
06:31Screw my courage.
06:32Get back to the sticking place.
06:36I'm way overdressed.
06:40How did you think?
06:41God, it was a day.
06:42Yeah?
06:43You got it?
06:43Well, maybe drinking all the mayor's booze will help.
06:46Let's just get this over us.
06:47Thank you so much for coming tonight.
06:55Holly and I, uh...
06:57We were...
06:58While we were talking about living arrangements...
07:00Right.
07:01College is right around the corner, isn't it?
07:02Oh, it's not for another year.
07:04But I was just...
07:05Hey, Councilwoman!
07:08State Senate.
07:09That's what this thing's about.
07:10The big announcement?
07:12Christy is gonna run for State Senate.
07:14You know this, so you're guessing.
07:15Will it surprise you?
07:1720 bucks.
07:18Carl!
07:19Good to see you.
07:20Doc.
07:21Yeah.
07:21When you clean him up, he's almost presentable.
07:24We haven't actually met.
07:25Lance Greenwood, Chief of Staff at Gibson's Hospital.
07:28Cassandra Lee?
07:29Of course you are.
07:30My wife, Claire.
07:32And, uh...
07:33I've got a bone to pick with you, Chief.
07:35Our patient intake rate for violent crimes is down 28% since you took over.
07:40Are you trying to poke me out of business?
07:42Uh-huh.
07:43Lance Greenwood.
07:44You look amazing.
07:46You too, sir.
07:47Thank you so much for coming.
07:59Hi.
08:00Natalie Holman.
08:02Cassandra, I used to babysit me.
08:05She was painfully responsible.
08:07No, she still is.
08:09Most of the time.
08:10Oh, thanks a bunch.
08:12These with yourself?
08:14That isn't a word I'd use.
08:16Hmm.
08:16Come on in.
08:23Hi.
08:23Come on in.
08:27Hello.
08:28Come on in.
08:29Each time.
08:31Gosh.
08:32Thank you all so much for coming.
08:34Oh, it is really wonderful to see so many friendly faces.
08:40Well, I had planned to make a major announcement tonight.
08:45As most of you know, the Holman family has been active in the civic life of Gibson's for
08:51three generations.
08:52For three generations, like my father and his father, I have dedicated my career, both as
08:58a doctor and, believe it or not, as a mayor, to healing.
09:03But I am a doctor, first and foremost, and I planned, which I think one or two of you
09:10is aware I'm looking at you, Lance Greenwood.
09:13I had planned to announce the Holman Family Legacy Project, the fundraising drive for a new
09:20critical care wing at Gibson's Hospital.
09:23Yeah.
09:24Thank you, but I can also announce that I will be spearheading this project as a private
09:36citizen.
09:37I have decided to resign as your mayor of Gibson's Effective Immediately.
09:43I know, I know, I know.
09:45It might come as a surprise.
09:48After years of serving my community, it's time to devote myself to family, the charitable
09:53work of the Holman Foundation, and my nearest and dearest, my beautiful daughter, Natalie,
09:58and her husband, Robert Scott, and my son, Brett.
10:06Okay.
10:07All right.
10:08All right.
10:08Hold the applause.
10:10Before we break apart, I'd like everyone to order yourself a couple big drinks and write
10:15me a couple big checks, because the fundraising begins tonight.
10:19Bravo.
10:20Bravo, Christy.
10:23Stunned the gathering by announcing her resignation just months after her re-election.
10:36You're listening to Sunshine Coast Radio, KMST.
10:40Come on, you really didn't know?
10:42No.
10:44That meeting you had this morning.
10:46Some things came to light, and I'm dealing with it.
10:49What things?
10:50Okay, this is confidential, all right?
10:55Someone left me a package of documents anonymously.
10:59They have emails and text messages.
11:02They suggest malfeasance on Christy's part.
11:05Why send them to you?
11:06I don't know.
11:07Is the counselor most likely to screw her courage?
11:09I had that meeting.
11:10I confronted her.
11:11Christy denied it.
11:12And then she asked for 24 hours before I made it public.
11:16Well, I'm going to need to see those documents.
11:19No, you're not.
11:20And you're not going to tell anyone about it.
11:22You said malfeasance.
11:24I also said confidential.
11:27Good night, Carl.
11:38Red?
11:40Honey?
11:41Is that you?
11:44I took a look like you asked.
12:01Concussion, but no skull fracture.
12:03CT scan is clear.
12:04Blow to the side of the head.
12:06Could it have resulted from a fall?
12:07No.
12:08Someone hit her.
12:09She's lucky to still be alive.
12:11I'm Mayor Holman's daughter.
12:13I'd like to see her.
12:15You stay here.
12:16Nobody comes in a while except medical staff, okay?
12:18I'd like to see her now.
12:21You, uh, you've been updated on your mom's condition?
12:24Her quiet strengths inspire us all.
12:26Brett!
12:28You're the one who found her?
12:29Yes.
12:30And confident I've already spoken to one of your officers.
12:33Walk me through it again.
12:34I woke up early.
12:36Her resignation was all over the news.
12:37She needed to release a statement, so I drove over to help her write it.
12:43This would have been around 6.30.
12:47She wasn't in the house.
12:50I went outside, and she was just lying there.
12:57Where were you, Brett?
12:58In my room.
12:59I lived there.
13:01I woke up when I heard the ambulance.
13:03When did you go to bed?
13:04I went to my room right after her speech.
13:07I didn't come out the rest of the night.
13:10When did you leave the party?
13:12Just before midnight.
13:14Some of the caterers were still there, cleaning up.
13:18Then Roger and I drove home.
13:20I realize your mom has enemies.
13:22Most people in a position do.
13:24But could you think of anyone who would wish her harm?
13:27Your girlfriend.
13:40Hey, Corporal.
13:41Jesus, it's bright out there.
13:43Yeah, it's cold.
13:43Daytime.
13:44Well, six months of night shift.
13:45Now, all of a sudden, I emerge blinking in the sunlight like a mole.
13:49Well, get used to it, because Sarge is in physio all afternoon, and for the rest of the week, he's in Tacoma testifying at an old drug trial.
13:55Holman's conscious.
13:57Hospital's going to call as soon as she's ready to talk.
13:59You asked about the caterers, Harry?
14:01Yeah, a company's called Provence Catering.
14:04I'll need the names of everybody who worked at the mayor's party at times when they left.
14:07You got it, boss.
14:09Chief, Cassandra's here.
14:12Is this for you?
14:13You're welcome.
14:14You're welcome.
14:14You're welcome.
14:14You're welcome.
14:19I can't believe this.
14:20Thanks for coming.
14:21Yeah, here.
14:23Not without gloves.
14:24They are emails between Holman and her daughter discussing how to convince counsel to build a road to their benefit.
14:29There's no name on the envelope.
14:31Any idea who dropped it off?
14:32No, library cameras didn't pick that up.
14:35I'm going to need to take your fingerprints for elimination purposes.
14:39Come on.
14:42Wow.
14:44Mayor Holman's accident wasn't, was it, an accident?
14:49Of course, you can't tell me anything.
14:52Thumbs.
14:54Carl, am I a suspect?
14:57After I dropped you off, you go out again?
15:00My God, I am a suspect.
15:02A van?
15:03No, I stayed home.
15:06Can anyone confirm that?
15:09My neighbors have a doorbell camera aimed directly at my house.
15:12Did you go straight home?
15:14Stay there.
15:15Holly can sign an affidavit.
15:18You're done.
15:18No.
15:19Is Holman going to be okay?
15:22I think so.
15:23What?
15:24That's something.
15:27Get out of here before I arrest you.
15:29Okay.
15:30Bye.
15:35Fingerprinting my girlfriend.
15:36That's a new one.
15:38Well, on the plus side...
15:40No.
15:40Nothing.
15:41There isn't one.
15:43What have we got?
15:44A large time window for the assault between midnight and 6.30 a.m.
15:48It looks like caterers put the empty wine bottles in the garage.
15:51As for Holman's instructions, forensics will not be happy about testing 80 somewhat bottles
15:55for blood.
15:56Documents?
15:57Emails.
15:58Collusion.
15:58They got the town to pay for a new road.
16:00Chief, the hospital says the mayor's okay to see you.
16:04Come with me.
16:05Let's get these checked for prints.
16:06Maybe we'll identify the center.
16:08When you are a lawyer, you'll be way too important, but for now, you're a small job.
16:13Yeah.
16:13I'll get into forensics for you.
16:14Cassandra.
16:23Cassandra Lee?
16:26Warren.
16:28Oh, my God.
16:29I don't believe this.
16:30You look great.
16:32God, just imagine bumping into you.
16:34What the hell are you doing here?
16:37Okay.
16:38Um, full disclosure.
16:41I knew that you were living here and doing so well.
16:46It's a beautiful part of the world.
16:47I love it here already.
16:50And I want to apologize.
16:54When you knew me in Sacramento, I was, I was, I was messed up.
16:59And I did some things that I regret.
17:02And I'm hoping that we could have lunch or something and talk.
17:08If not, well, I'm not going to blame you.
17:17We now return you to your regularly scheduled life.
17:20There was no one home.
17:35After all the guests had gone, the caterers, they packed up, they left.
17:41And then I told my staff to come back and finish cleaning the next morning.
17:50And then I went on a walk.
17:55I'm her doctor, for God's sake.
18:01I just heard.
18:02I was on the damn golf course.
18:04Do you really have to do this now?
18:06She has a concussion.
18:07It's okay, Lance.
18:08You can wait outside until we're finished, doctor.
18:14Five minutes.
18:19When you were out there, did you see anything, hear anything?
18:22No, I don't remember.
18:23I, I sat down.
18:25Then I was walking and then I was here.
18:30I really messed everything up, didn't I?
18:33For everybody.
18:33Cassandra told you.
18:41Your son was in the house.
18:47He was in his room.
18:51Oh, my head, my head.
18:55We'll pick this up later.
18:56Someone tried to kill her?
19:05I mean, I never really liked her much.
19:08But, God, that poor woman.
19:10Baseball bat.
19:11That's what I'm hearing.
19:12Okay, Brie, people are trying to eat.
19:13Life support.
19:15Vegetative steak.
19:16Okay, we've heard a lot more than I have.
19:18I've got to go.
19:18Okay.
19:20I'll leave that part.
19:21Hi, Todd.
19:32Hard at work?
19:33Cassandra, I was early this morning.
19:3530 minutes.
19:37Morton, classic.
19:38Oh, yeah.
19:39Lancelot, right?
19:40One of the best nights in the universe.
19:45It's really nice.
19:47Your library.
19:49Thanks.
19:51Of course, it's nothing like Sacramento.
19:53Back in the day.
19:55Warren, um...
19:56They let me go.
19:58After the incident.
20:00You probably knew that.
20:02Or guessed.
20:04It's completely unfair.
20:06But not a lot in life is fair.
20:08Is it?
20:10At least not in my life.
20:12I actually need to work.
20:14So do I.
20:15I could really use a job.
20:18Just a chance to get back on my feet.
20:21Rebuild my life.
20:22After what you did to me.
20:24What I did.
20:25After what happened.
20:26Look, I know.
20:27I was partially to blame.
20:29I just thought,
20:31old time's sake,
20:32you could hire me to work here.
20:33I don't think so, Warren.
20:35I'm a good librarian.
20:36I need you to leave now.
20:37For God's sake.
20:38You hired him.
20:39The Bushman of Gibson's.
20:41She needs you to leave now.
20:42So much for friendship.
20:46Warren, I can't help you.
20:48Won't help me.
20:49You're not gone yet.
20:50Todd, Todd.
20:51It is okay.
20:52Okay.
20:52Yeah, I knew him in Sacramento.
21:09I've, uh, I've never been.
21:12Yeah.
21:13I loved it there.
21:15He made you leave?
21:16No, it's not like that.
21:18Warren was a friend.
21:19And he wanted more.
21:20I didn't.
21:21Things got weird.
21:22Um, and I came to Gibson's.
21:26It's all good.
21:34Thanks for coming in, Brett.
21:36Like I had a choice.
21:38It's been a tough day for you and your family.
21:41You and your mom were alone at the house last night.
21:44Gatorers left around 1 a.m.
21:47Unless one of them snuck back.
21:48You think that's what happened?
21:51You're the detective.
21:54You didn't hear anything?
21:55No.
21:56Any idea who might have attacked your mom?
21:59Brett?
22:01Perfect.
22:03You think I did it?
22:04I didn't say that.
22:07I'm just asking you a question, son.
22:10She's my mom.
22:12And I'm not your damn son.
22:13No.
22:19I have no freaking idea who attacked her.
22:26How do you feel about your mom resigning his mirror?
22:30About damn time.
22:32At least now you're going to be able to see her more.
22:35I guess.
22:36Assuming I want to.
22:39But she does.
22:39Look, can I just go?
22:44I just want to go back to the hospital.
22:48Isabella!
22:50Can we arrange a ride for Brett?
22:52He wants to go see his mom.
22:53Yeah, of course.
22:58What a sweetheart.
23:00You think he's telling the truth?
23:01What are we looking at?
23:02Seems like a few possibilities.
23:04A stranger attack.
23:05Neighbor.
23:06Associate.
23:06Where's someone near and dear?
23:09You think Holman knows more than she's telling us.
23:11So the mayor's still in the hospital.
23:42She's doing better.
23:43It's crazy what happened.
23:45How's Brett?
23:47I haven't seen him.
23:48He got expelled.
23:49When?
23:50Two days ago.
23:51Holman had to come and collect him.
23:53I mean, they're saying it's because he skipped too much school, but that's bogus.
23:56But I'm already late.
23:57Emergency meeting.
23:58Town council.
23:59We have to vote in a mayor pro tempore.
24:02I will bring this one back.
24:04I promise.
24:06Add it to your collection.
24:07You haven't talked to her yet, have you?
24:12No.
24:13I haven't found the right moments.
24:14You guys.
24:16If Brett wasn't expelled for skipping school, then why?
24:19He threatened Mr. Kelly, his biology teacher.
24:22I mean, Brett's a screwed up guy.
24:24I actually kind of feel sorry for him.
24:25Chief, we may have found the weapon.
24:32An empty wine bottle found in the woods near Holman's house.
24:35Prince?
24:36Forensics says no.
24:37Then I just let her.
24:38We may have something else, though.
24:39So, the envelope used for the Deep Throat package was self-adhesive, so no DNA.
24:44With a single set of prints on both the envelope and the printouts.
24:47Cassandras.
24:48But Digital Forensics was able to identify printer make, model, and serial number based
24:52on a machine identification code printed on the documents.
24:56Please tell me the printer's not registered to the library.
24:58It's not registered anywhere.
25:00But if we find the printer, we find Deep Throat.
25:03Okay.
25:03Well, let's send someone to the library, check the printers just in case.
25:06Printer patrol, I will send the mole man.
25:10Harry, he's still adjusting to the daylight.
25:13Mayor Holman's son-in-law is interviewing one.
25:16Okay.
25:23Tell me about your involvement with Holman Developments, where's this guy?
25:27My wife and I are the company.
25:29Christy's the mayor.
25:31She stayed right out of it.
25:32She didn't, though.
25:32I mean, not according to those emails.
25:34Any idea who might have sent that package?
25:39No.
25:40And I don't buy for a minute that these emails are legit.
25:43Your wife?
25:44She's a woman of complete integrity.
25:46Unimpeachable.
25:47Unlike ex-Mirola?
25:48The woman's in the hospital, Corporal.
25:50Maybe we can cut her some slack.
25:53What about Brett?
25:54You aware he was expelled from his school?
25:57Christy wants to send him to a military academy.
25:59Thing is, it's not even really Brett's fault.
26:01The accident.
26:07What accident?
26:10The car accident.
26:12When Brett was eight.
26:14His father was killed.
26:16Brett was in the vehicle.
26:18He and David were very close.
26:21I don't think he ever forgave Christy.
26:24For?
26:24Being the parent who survived.
26:28And finding out about the affair hasn't helped.
26:34I forget I said that.
26:36What affair?
26:41Christy and Lance Greenwood.
26:42It was a pattern of behavior.
26:50We tried to address it quietly.
26:53It's a good family, Chief Alberg.
26:54Upstanding.
26:56Christy delivered both my children.
26:58Tell me more about this pattern of behavior.
27:01Bullying.
27:02It escalated.
27:03Anger issues.
27:05Poor impulse control.
27:07Violent ideation.
27:07How long has this been going on?
27:10It started with threats.
27:12Drawings.
27:13Then an altercation with a member of the faculty.
27:16His biology teacher.
27:18These drawings, if you have any, I'd like to see them.
27:27He was drawing this in class.
27:31This violent ideation had to do with his mother.
27:35Among others.
27:36One of the emails from the one to her daughter.
27:45And I'll hold on to this.
27:46Of course.
27:48Garvey, what have you got for me?
27:49I'm at the Holman place now, Chief.
27:51No sign of Brett.
27:52But his printer is a match.
27:54Make, model, serial number.
27:56Let's find him.
27:57It gets better.
27:58Statement from one of the caterers.
27:59They overheard a shouting match after the gathering broke up.
28:03Brett and his mom?
28:03No, Christy Holman and Claire Greenwood.
28:07Lance Greenwood's wife.
28:10Any idea where your son is, Dr. Holman?
28:13He's not at home?
28:16Is he missing?
28:18When did you last speak to him?
28:20He hasn't been here since yesterday.
28:22Maybe he's at a friend's house.
28:25He doesn't really have any friends.
28:27Principal may be a show of steel.
28:34Listen, Brett and I have our challenges.
28:38But he is my son.
28:47Brett gave these to Cassandra?
28:49Cassandra?
28:49Cassandra?
28:49Cassandra?
28:49Cassandra?
28:50Cassandra?
28:51Cassandra?
28:51Cassandra?
28:52Cassandra?
28:53Cassandra?
28:53Cassandra?
28:54Cassandra?
28:54Cassandra?
28:55Cassandra?
28:56Cassandra?
28:57Cassandra?
29:02Do you think Brett did it?
29:06Your son wanted to destroy your political career.
29:10He achieved his goal when you stepped down.
29:13Your life was not what he was after.
29:17Just...
29:17Just me being mayor.
29:27What are you keeping from me, Dr. Oman?
29:29I have told you I have absolutely no idea who might have hit me.
29:34You had a confrontation with Claire Greenwood.
29:47Layla, oh, sorry. Did I start, Aline?
29:50No, no, no, no. I, uh, got you.
29:55Trouble mug. Yay.
29:58Thanks.
30:00I'm glad that I caught you, actually, because I was just going to drop this off at the precinct.
30:06It's just some stuff you left at my place.
30:10Thanks.
30:14So...
30:14So this isn't a kiss, though, Ben.
30:22Your text said that you had good news?
30:24Yeah, State Patrol cleared me, so I was expected, and back to full duty.
30:32That's great.
30:33I guess.
30:35We never had any doubts. It was always a good shooting.
30:39A woman is dead. Why? How is that good?
30:44Look, I'm still your friend.
30:47Okay.
30:48I'm worried about you.
30:51You have to carry that for the rest of your life.
30:54You think I hadn't considered that?
30:57I'm just saying it.
30:58No, thank you.
31:00Thank you for your opinions.
31:02Have a terrific life.
31:03What's this about?
31:19I'm assuming you heard Dr. Holman was attacked two nights ago.
31:23I had nothing to do with it.
31:24You were seen confronting the mayor after the gathering.
31:29Nonsense.
31:30We have a witness, ma'am.
31:36Christine, I had words.
31:38Can you blame me?
31:39All these years, I thought she was my friend.
31:43And then I find out that she and my husband...
31:46We're having an affair.
31:47I found out the day of the party.
31:52Yes, I confronted her.
31:53And she swore it had happened years ago.
31:55Is it that makes any difference?
31:57But I never attacked her physically.
32:05What are you telling me, Mrs. Greenwood?
32:11I drove back to her house later that night.
32:14I shouldn't have.
32:15It was stupid.
32:16I had been drinking.
32:20What happened?
32:22Nothing.
32:22Someone got there first.
32:25Natalie.
32:26Natalie Holman?
32:28Yes.
32:28I didn't see her.
32:29Just her car.
32:31What time was this?
32:32Around 3.30.
32:34And then I just turned around and I drove home.
32:38But Natalie said she left at midnight, came back at 6.30.
32:42And I would say Natalie has some explaining to do.
32:44Unless somebody else was driving her car.
32:47You okay?
32:49Sir?
32:52Something happened.
32:53No, no.
32:54Just, uh, too much caffeine.
32:57I'm good.
32:58Promise.
33:04Not a good time.
33:06Guess what?
33:07You are sleeping with your boss.
33:09Say what now?
33:10Yeah, town council just elected their new mayor pro tempore.
33:13Don't tell me.
33:14Yeah.
33:15Last thing I expected or wanted, but looks like...
33:17Congratulations, madam mayor.
33:20Am I going to see you tonight or are you much too important for me now?
33:23Yes, I'll bring my gavel.
33:25Okay, bye.
33:26Bye.
33:34Perry's combing through security cam footage from the night of Pullman's gathering.
33:37I just got this from the neighbors.
33:39They've been away.
33:40Rewind.
33:423.49 a.m.
33:43Not long after Claire saw Natalie Holmes' car.
33:46Stop.
33:47Stop.
33:47Does that look to you like...
33:50Robert Scott.
33:52Let's bring him in.
33:53You and Natalie ran Home and Developments, and you handled the books.
34:00I'm an accountant.
34:01Of course I handled the books.
34:03You were skimming, weren't you?
34:04You can't just quit.
34:06Okay, you have to fight.
34:07If you leave the mayor's office, then we have no cover.
34:10We are ruined.
34:11I'm ruined.
34:13What auditors are coming through right now?
34:15This is outrageous.
34:19You needed Home and the Channel Public Funds.
34:20You also needed her to stay away from the company, because if she opened those books...
34:24If you had any idea what I've done for that family...
34:27You left the party in a panic, didn't you?
34:30And you came back in a rage.
34:33Honey, is that you?
34:38What are you talking about?
34:41It's you, Mr. Scott.
34:42Why?
34:45That's from a security camp next door to Holman's, around the time that she was attacked.
34:49A witness places your wife's car at the scene around the same time.
34:54Then maybe you should speak to my wife.
34:56You ever said of your wife's keys?
34:58You ever borrow your wife's car?
35:00You actually think I attacked Christy?
35:02Why the hell would I do that, huh?
35:03Well, you'd have killed her.
35:05Except something startled you.
35:09Claire Greenwood's car.
35:10You actually think I'd kill her?
35:14Oh, you tried your best.
35:15Luckily, your best doesn't add up to much.
35:18You embezzled.
35:20And once Holman found out what you were doing...
35:22That family owes me.
35:24I kept that company afloat.
35:26I poured my heart.
35:27My life's blood and that smug and sufferable woman ruining me and then wagging her finger.
35:32She's ruined me!
35:33Garvey...
35:35Garvey...
35:38Bring Mrs. Scott into booking.
35:41Yes, sir.
35:42With pleasure.
35:43With pleasure.
35:52Mom.
35:54Well, hello, sweetheart.
35:56I got it.
36:02Thanks, Dad.
36:03My son won't drive me home.
36:11You're supposed to be Wonder Woman.
36:12Oh, man.
36:17Christy.
36:18Well, they won't let me walk.
36:19It's just you wait till I get outside.
36:20Look, I, uh, just wanted to say...
36:25You're glad that I survived.
36:27All things considered, so am I.
36:31Mayor pro tem.
36:33Well, they could have done worse.
36:35Good luck.
36:36You too.
36:39Um, Christy.
36:42You've touched a lot of people's lives.
36:45Yes, I have.
36:50Bye.
36:50I like your house.
37:15We could start again.
37:18We loved each other.
37:20I tried to be your friend.
37:22You made that impossible.
37:23I almost died because of you.
37:26You swallowed half a bottle of pills.
37:28If you won't love me, then I will kill myself.
37:30And then you told people, my friends, that I had led you on.
37:34It was the truth.
37:35The hell it was.
37:38They believed me.
37:40Yes.
37:40Some of them did.
37:43Some of them did.
37:44And it was awful.
37:48I don't have a job.
37:50I'm broke.
37:52If you could at least just loan me some money.
37:55Five thousand dollars.
37:56Oh my, you are joking.
37:57Ten.
37:59That would help.
38:01That's the least you could do.
38:03No way.
38:04Todd.
38:06He's not going to tell you again.
38:08Todd, don't.
38:10I tried to be kind.
38:11It didn't work.
38:12I tried to be your friend.
38:14That didn't work.
38:15Get away from me, Warren, and stay away.
38:18Do not come back here.
38:19Go.
38:34He was following you, so I followed him.
38:37If he comes back, I'm around.
38:39Thank you, Todd.
38:42See you tomorrow.
38:43Yeah, 9 a.m.
38:49Knock, knock.
39:00Uh, in here.
39:04You okay?
39:06Of course.
39:06Why wouldn't I be?
39:08Todd called the station.
39:10Apparently I'm on Cassandra's watch.
39:13I got the night shift.
39:15I don't need to be watched.
39:17No.
39:18No, you don't.
39:18But you don't need to be careful.
39:23Someone like Warren Kerskaden can be dangerously unpredictable.
39:28You know about him?
39:29Yeah.
39:31A few months ago, you told me that something made you leave Sacramento, so...
39:35You investigated me.
39:37No.
39:38I just...
39:39I looked into it a little.
39:41I just wanted to see if you needed my help.
39:44So I called Sacramento PD.
39:46I asked a few questions, and I was just looking after your safety.
39:49I lost friends.
39:51I lost a job that I loved, and I didn't do anything wrong.
39:54And not for a second did I ever think you did.
39:56It was humiliating.
39:57It was awful.
39:58Girl, if I'd wanted you to know about it, I would have told you.
40:08Yeah.
40:09And then I'm sorry.
40:14I'm sorry.
40:15I thought we were done.
40:43Don't worry.
40:50You went armed.
40:52For God's sake.
40:55Wait, come on.
40:58Just give me your keys, okay?
41:01Why?
41:02A bartender is my friend.
41:04She...
41:04She called.
41:07God, look at you.
41:08You're...
41:09You're wasted.
41:10Isn't that supposed to be my job?
41:13Come on, come on.
41:14Just give me your keys, okay?
41:24We drive.
41:27Um, I should probably just call you a ride, Sheriff.
41:30I mean...
41:30Layla, come on.
41:35Hey, you're trouble.
41:39Right through your chip.
41:42Oh.
41:46Flesh it somewhere.
41:47Theoretically, could you see yourself marrying me?
42:06Next Tuesday, a season finale that entangles the whole town.
42:11The fire symbolizes vengeance.
42:14Someone's been doing this for decades.
42:16Don't tell him I did this, but I kind of amateur sleuthed.
42:19You and Holly leave this home.
42:21She's gone.
42:22Make you rock in hell!
42:25Vengeance is mine.
42:28Murder in a Small Town, season finale next Tuesday on Fox.
