00:00You
00:21Brett
00:27Hello
00:30Red? Honey? Is that you?
01:00This morning is cursed. First my alarm doesn't go off, now my hair does this.
01:09I like your hair. Now I cannot find my earrings.
01:12Bedside table drawer. Is there any mystery? You can't solve this.
01:18At least now you'll get what you need now that the budget's gone through.
01:23Well, this is happening. What?
01:27I asked Mayor Holman to meet before work, and she's just agreed.
01:32Why not just talk to her at the party?
01:34This isn't a conversation we can have at a party.
01:38Confidential council business. Oh, yeah. I was being a sphinx.
01:43Uh-huh. Frustrating, isn't it?
01:46Okay, bye. Bye. Bye.
01:52Someone left these for me. Left? At the library.
01:56I don't know who, and I can't be certain they're genuine, but I wanted to show them to you first.
02:01Before?
02:03Next steps. Ooh. Sounds sinister.
02:07Printouts of emails and text messages between you and Natalie.
02:12A road you want the town to build to serve as land held by Holman Developments.
02:17These are copies. I kept the originals. You're using taxpayer dollars to service your company's new subdivision.
02:26That will create hundreds of jobs and infuse millions of dollars into the local economy.
02:32Christie, this is a breach of trust.
02:35What do you want, Cassie? Your new art center?
02:39This isn't about what I want.
02:40Quid pro quo. Here we have quid. I'm waiting for quo.
02:43I have to release this to counsel and to the media.
02:52I'm sorry, believe it or not. You've done a lot of good over the years.
02:58My lawyers are on standby. And they're very good lawyers. So you better be sure.
03:08I'll show myself out.
03:11Cassandra.
03:17Give me 24 hours before you release these.
03:24See you at the party tonight.
03:28You and Carl.
03:31Give your mother my best.
03:40Good news. The independent investigators cleared you for active duty.
03:45Stadia's just have to cross their T's, dot their I's.
03:49It was always a good shooting.
03:54Thanks, Chief.
03:57Layla.
03:58I'm good, sir.
04:01Really.
04:03Nobody's good. Not after something like this.
04:06You sleeping?
04:07Yes, sir. Enough. Four or five hours.
04:10We pulled in Garvey from night shift till Sid's back at work, so...
04:14If you need a break, you tell me.
04:16Understood. Sir, thank you.
04:19You mean a lot to this team, Corporal.
04:23You be kind to yourself, okay?
04:29No, no, no. Put that in the dynamo, please.
04:33We'll say they're fakes.
04:35Except they're not.
04:36Some of these are from me and from you.
04:38I warned you both.
04:40How the hell did she get these?
04:41She said that someone delivered them anonymously.
04:44So what are you going to do?
04:46She's gonna fight. Obviously.
04:48We will go ahead with the gathering.
04:51Of course. Head high.
04:53When we find out who leaked these, and we nuke their credibility.
04:56Unbelievable.
04:58Okay.
04:59Food right there.
05:00Wait.
05:01Also, why are you going to this again?
05:03Party at Mayor Holman's house.
05:04Council's gonna be there.
05:05The movers and shakers are Gibsons.
05:07And, uh, I promise Cassandra.
05:08Not bad. Looking like a real adult.
05:09Yeah.
05:10Okay.
05:24Okay, Dad, you're not wearing those socks.
05:27Okay, I'm gonna grab you a better pair.
05:29Don't move.
05:30So, uh, when are you gonna ask Cassandra to move in?
05:35You'd want that?
05:37Why not?
05:38I really like her, and she makes you happy.
05:41Well, I thought about it.
05:43Just go for it.
05:45Nail your courage to whatever it is.
05:48Nail your courage?
05:50This rubbish play we're taking in school.
05:53It's a good life, if I could remember it.
05:56Ask Cassandra.
06:02Holy crap.
06:03Something wrong?
06:05What's this?
06:08Socks.
06:09This?
06:10It was in your sock drawer.
06:12Your grandmother's.
06:13Yeah.
06:14I thought I lost it, but then I found it ten years ago.
06:17And I was saving it for you or your sister.
06:20But then...
06:22But...
06:23Really?
06:24I'm waiting for the right moment.
06:34Thanks, Gil.
06:35Mm-hmm.
06:39Probably take this.
06:41Mm-hmm.
06:42Those socks are horrible.
06:43They gotta go.
06:44They're not the gym socks.
06:47Screw your courage.
06:49Screw my courage.
06:50To the sticking place.
06:53I'm way overdressed.
06:57How'd you think?
06:58Ah, God, it was a day.
06:59Yeah?
07:00You got it?
07:01Well, maybe drinking all the mayor's booze will help.

22:24you and your mom were alone at the house last night caterers left around 1 a.m unless one of them snuck
22:31back back you think that's what happened you're the detective you didn't hear anything no any idea
22:40who might have attacked your mom but perfect you think i did it i didn't say that i'm just asking you
22:51a question son she's my mom and i'm not your damn son
23:01no i have no freaking idea who attacked her
23:10how do you feel about your mom resigning as mere about damn time at least now you're gonna be able
23:17to see her more i guess assuming i want to but she does look can i just go i just want to go back to
23:29the hospital isabella can we arrange a ride for brett he wants to go see his mom yeah of course
23:38course what a sweetheart you think he's telling the truth what are we looking at seems like a few
23:48possibilities a stranger attack neighbor associate or someone near and dear you think holman knows more
23:56than she's telling us
24:26so the mayor's still in the hospital she's doing better it's crazy what happened how's brett i haven't
24:35seen him he got expelled when two days ago holman had to come and collect him i mean they're saying
24:41it's because he skipped too much school but that's bogus and i'm already late emergency meeting town
24:47council we have to vote in a mayor pro tempore i will bring this one back i promise
24:53add it to your collection
24:58you haven't talked to her yet have you no i haven't found the right moments you guys
25:04if brett wasn't expelled for skipping school then why he threatened mr kelly his biology teacher
25:10i mean brett's a screwed up guy i actually kind of feel sorry for him
25:19chief we may have found the weapon an empty wine bottle found in the woods
25:22near holman's house prince forensics says no then it's just later we may have something else
25:28though the envelope used for the deep throat package was self-adhesive so no dna with a
25:33single set of prints on both the envelope and the printouts cassandra's but digital forensics was able
25:38to identify printer make model and serial number based on a machine identification code printed on the
25:43documents please tell me the printer's not registered to the library it's not registered anywhere but if we
25:49we find the printer we find deep throat okay well let's send someone to the library check the printers
25:55just in case printer patrol i will send the mole man harry he's uh still adjusting to the daylight
26:03mayor holman's son-in-law is interviewing one okay
26:06tell me about your involvement with holman developments mr scott my wife and i are the company christie's the
26:20mayor she stayed right out of it she didn't though i mean not according to those emails
26:24any idea who might have sent that package no and i don't buy for a minute that these emails are legit
26:34your wife is a woman of complete integrity unimpeachable unlike ex-mayor holman the woman's in the
26:40hospital corporal you know we can cut her some slack what about brett you aware he was expelled from
26:47a school christy wants to send him to a military academy the thing is it's not even really brett's fault
26:56the accident what accident
27:01the car accident when brett was eight his father was killed brett was in the vehicle
27:08he and david were very close i don't think he ever forgave christy for being the parent who survived
27:20and finding out about the affair hasn't helped
27:22and i forgot i said that what affair christy and lance greenwood
27:39it was a pattern of behavior we tried to address it quietly it's a good family chief alberg
27:47upstanding christy delivered both my children tell me more about this pattern of behavior
27:53bullying it escalated anger issues or impulse control violent ideation how long has this been going on
28:02it started with threats drawings then an altercation with a member of the faculty
28:09his biology teacher these drawings if you have any i'd like to see them
28:16he was drawing this in class
28:25this violent ideation had to do with his mother among others
28:33one of the emails from holman to her daughter
28:38and i hold on to this of course garvey what have you got for me i'm at the holman place now chief
28:45no sign of brett but his printer is a match make model serial number let's find him it gets better
28:52statement from one of the caterers they overheard a shouting match after the gathering broke up
28:57brett and his mom no christy holman and claire greenwood lance greenwood's wife
29:02and the idea where your son is dr holman he's not at home
29:10is he missing when did you last speak to him he hasn't been here since yesterday
29:17maybe he's at a friend's house
29:20except she he doesn't really have any friends
29:22principle may be a sholey steel
29:29listen brett and i have our challenges but he is my son
29:42brett gave these to cassandra
29:52do you think brett did it
30:02your son wanted to destroy your political career
30:06he achieved his goal when you stepped down
30:09your life was not what he was after
