00:00Don't you want to go down the slide? It's so fun.
00:13Someone's waiting, sweets. You can do it.
00:15Come on, go down the slide.
00:17Go.
00:17Wee!
00:20Margo?
00:25Margo?
00:26Erica?
00:27Hold on, I'm coming.
00:30Help! I can't find my mom!
00:32Oh my God!
00:40Her name is Tara Foley. She was also a nanny, but we really didn't know her that well.
00:48Do you know of anyone who would have wanted to hurt her?
00:50Oh, I can't imagine. She was so nice.
00:53Milo, we don't need grass. Have some seaweed.
00:56Well, there was that creepy guy.
00:58What creepy guy?
00:59Some weird guy who had been hanging around the park.
01:06As a mom, it's my job to anticipate all the ways somebody could die at a playground, but stuck in a slide?
01:13I missed that one.
01:14Morning, all.
01:15Morning.
01:15Morning.
01:16So, Dr. Farzan, what have you got?
01:18Well, it looks like the victim died of an epidural hematoma due to a blow to the head by a heavy object.
01:23She was attacked in the slide?
01:25I don't think so. Judging from the shape of the slide, the location of the wound, it's my belief that the victim was struck elsewhere and tried to escape her assailant.
01:34She was hiding, Lieutenant.
01:35Time of death?
01:37Around 10 p.m.
01:39There doesn't seem to be any CCTV here. I'll have Lynn check. Any guess as to the murder weapon?
01:44It's hard to say. We'll test the wound for particulate matter, but an injury like this could have come from any number of things if it was swung hard enough.
01:51I'll have forensics do a wide sweep.
01:53They're gonna have a hell of a time. There's no place more laden with bodily fluids than a playground during flu season.
01:58Got a lead. The victim's name is Tara Foley. According to Tara's fellow nannies, a suspicious man who seemed particularly interested in Tara was seen hanging around the park.
02:09Any one of them managed to take a photo of this person?
02:11Unfortunately, no.
02:13Okay, that dinging's gotta stop.
02:16Morgan.
02:17What? I'm detecting.
02:21See? Eight unread messages from someone named Brett Lewis.
02:25Tara, Tara, you're late. Where are you? Tara, answer me now. Ooh, the last one's a voice memo.
02:32Tara, you're now an hour and a half late. You better have an airtight excuse, because this is unacceptable.
02:39That would appear to be your employer, may I?
02:43No emergency contact listed. No one listed his mom or dad either.
02:47What? God, she just keeps getting sadder, this poor girl. All alone in the world? Spent her last few minutes terrified for her life?
02:54You can tell by her ballet flats that she was nice.
02:58Okay, we have to find that man who's been hanging around the park.
03:01Daphne, Oz, go through Tara's phone. See if you can find any pictures she may have taken of him.
03:05And look for a next of kin, boyfriend, girlfriend, anyone who can tell us more about Tara in her life.
03:10And Morgan Karadik may not be able to talk to family, but let's at least start by talking to the one person she worked for every day.
03:16Find out what he has to say for himself.
03:18You got it, boss.
03:18What murderer leaves someone an angry message after killing them?
03:26The smart one.
03:29Adam Karadik, LAPD. I'm afraid I've got some bad news for you.
03:34Oh, poor Tara. This is such a shock.
03:38So how long had Tara been Ward's nanny?
03:41About four months. In that time, she'd become part of the family.
03:45You know, Brett, you seem pretty angry in your messages.
03:48I mean, did you have a strained relationship with Tara?
03:50No. Not at all. I'm just a stickler for being on time.
03:55I wouldn't have yelled at her had I known.
03:57Can you tell us about Tara? What was she like?
03:59Oof. Um, Tara was a sweet girl.
04:03You know, she was quiet and loving and liked reading historical fiction and watching TikToks of dance protégés.
04:12I'm sorry. I'm just trying to give you everything I know.
04:16Outside of working for us, she lived a relatively solitary life.
04:21That would explain the lack of an emergency contact in her phone.
04:24Had Tara mentioned anything out of the ordinary to you recently?
04:27No, nothing I can think of.
04:30Wait, there was that guy that kept following her.
04:34Well, Tara complained that she kept seeing the same guy.
04:36He'd show up wherever she was, a park, coffee shop.
04:39He was often reading a French magazine or newspaper.
04:43And he had a limp.
04:49I know where to find this guy.
04:51There's only one newsstand that sells French newspapers in L.A., and it's across the street from a perfect stakeout location.
04:58Oh, you really love this diner, huh?
04:59Oh, my God.
05:01It was so good.
05:01You gotta take a bite.
05:04Eat from the other side.
05:05I didn't touch, sir.
05:06Morgan, we're on a stakeout.
05:08A key to a good stakeout is being discreet.
05:10You worried I'm gonna pull a Meg Ryan and fake an orgasm or something?
05:13That would attract way too much attention.
05:15Oh, I can fake yours, though.
05:17Watch.
05:20Impression over.
05:22That's, uh, hilarious.
05:24That's our guy.
05:26Really?
05:27Yeah, yeah.
05:28It looks like he's headed this way.
05:29In here?
05:29Yeah.
05:34Where did he go?
05:46Okay.
05:46He went up there.
05:47You stay here.
05:48Okay.
05:50Okay.
05:57Hey, Morgan.
06:11It's safe to...
06:12Well, I can tell by your confident footsteps that the coast was clear.
06:16Well, it turns out that our stalker is actually a P.I.
06:19Oh.
06:19Charles Lebois, a.k.a. Chuck the Canuck.
06:23Former LAPD, used to be a detective in the traffic department.
06:26Just a warning.
06:28The guy has a lot.
06:30Okay.
06:32I apologize about the pastrami smell.
06:34You'll get used to it.
06:35Hey, Chuck.
06:39Adam Karadik.
06:40I'll be damned.
06:45And you got married.
06:46No.
06:47Morgan Guillory.
06:48We worked together.
06:49Huh.
06:50Anyway, uh, Karadik and I came up together as detectives.
06:53You know, we were always neck and neck.
06:54Is that right?
06:55Oh.
06:56Until I was forced to retire early, so.
06:59Well, Chuck was shot in the line of duty.
07:01Oh, my God.
07:02Yeah.
07:02Yeah.
07:02What happened?
07:03Uh, my firearm did discharge itself whilst in its holster during a routine traffic stop,
07:08causing my metatarsal to shatter.
07:10You shot yourself in the foot.
07:11I shot myself in the foot.
07:13Okay.
07:13Hey, can I take a look at this newspaper?
07:15Yeah, sure.
07:19Le Devoir from Quebec.
07:22This is the French newspaper that Tara saw her stalker reading.
07:25What's this all about?
07:26What do you know about Tara Foley?
07:27Everything.
07:28Did you know she was murdered?
07:29Almost everything.
07:30I had no idea.
07:31Poor girl.
07:33Who hired you to follow her?
07:34I placed a high priority on client confidentiality, but an even higher one on friendship.
07:39I was hired by the Lewises.
07:41Her employers?
07:43Ward's parents.
07:44It was getting messy.
07:45They wanted to know if I saw anything out of the ordinary, but I found Bupkus.
07:49Did you take any pictures?
07:51Tons.
07:55I shoot raw, my man.
07:57That's my favorite part of the job.
07:59Do me a favor, Chuck.
07:59Bring these photos down to the station tomorrow.
08:01Yeah, happy to.
08:02I'm Tara Dick.
08:03Nice to meet you.
08:04You too.
08:05Poor girl.
08:07Why did you stop following Tara?
08:09I was canned.
08:10The client wasn't happy with the results, which is what they always say when they don't get
08:14what they were hoping to find.
08:15What were they hoping to find?
08:17They thought the nanny was mistreating their son.
08:19They thought the nanny was mistreating their son.
08:19Oh.
08:20Oh.
08:21Didn't expect to see you again.
08:36We didn't expect to be back.
08:37You think we hired a private investigator to follow Tara?
08:44Tara?
08:45I'm sorry, but we most certainly did not.
08:47Well, we might have.
08:49What?
08:49What?
08:50Brett, why did you hire a PI to follow Tara?
08:52I was a nervous wreck ever since the ordeal we went through with our last nanny, Rosa.
08:57What happened with Rosa?
08:59I'm a member of the 90049 Parents Facebook Group.
09:03That's the Brentwood zip code.
09:05Six months ago, I see a post from a concerned mother describing a horrific event at the library
09:10where an unattended child wandered out of the library and almost into the street.
09:16When I read the description of the child, I realized it was Ward.
09:20It was terrifying.
09:21Yeah, that is a nightmare.
09:22What'd you do?
09:23We asked Rosa about it, and she ultimately admitted it.
09:27We had no choice but to let her go.
09:28But what does this have to do with Tara?
09:29We hired Tara, and everything was going great.
09:32Ward loved her.
09:33But then we see another post in the Parents Group, this time about Tara.
09:38And this time from several mothers all saying that Tara was endangering Ward.
09:43We debated whether to believe it.
09:45The post about Rosa was true.
09:46But we talked to both Ward and Tara and determined that the accusations against Tara had to be made up.
09:53Ward lit up around Tara in a way that he never did with Rosa.
09:56And Tara seemed to be taking excellent care of Ward.
09:59I couldn't let it go.
10:01I'm sorry.
10:02What did this PI even find?
10:05Nothing.
10:07Can we see these negative posts about Tara, please?
10:09Sure.
10:09I took screen grabs of everything.
10:12Here you go.
10:12This Karina gal seems to be all up in your business.
10:20No, well, Karina is the one who alerted us to Rosa's misconduct.
10:24Yeah, and then it looks like she turns on Tara.
10:26Did you reach out to Karina?
10:27I messaged her, but she said she didn't have any more information.
10:34If you'll excuse me, I gotta stand up.
10:35These pants only have about a ten-minute sitting time limit before they become a permanent part of my body.
10:40So, Jeff, you were totally confident in Tara's care of Ward.
10:44No, completely.
10:45She was wonderful.
10:46Where did you even find this guy?
10:48The internet.
10:50I can't believe you hired a PI.
10:52Well, my guess is he wanted eyes and ears on the outside, since you guys are all covered on nanny cams in here.
10:58What?
10:59Nanny cams?
11:00I used to rely on a very kind, but very senior gentleman to watch my kids, and I wanted to make sure that he wasn't literally falling asleep on the job.
11:09So I looked into my surveillance options.
11:11You've got the nanny cam clock, tissue box, picture frame, energy drink, which I found confusing.
11:18Uh, the nanny cam fake toolbox.
11:21Ultimately, I couldn't afford any of them.
11:23But I'm finding that Brett went with the plant, globe, and the adorable spy robot.
11:32There's a nanny cam in the North Pole?
11:35We're gonna need that footage.
11:36Where were you two last night?
11:38We were here all night.
11:39Can anyone corroborate that?
11:41We were on a video call.
11:42With who?
11:43Lamar Nichols, our couples counselor.
11:46All right.
11:47We'll be in touch.
11:52Well, I'll have Daphne look up Karina's address, track down the other parents who posted about Tara.
11:56We need to get to the bottom of this 90049 Parents Facebook group.
12:00Yep.
12:04You know why most foods are cooked at 350?
12:07The Maillard reaction.
12:08A chemical process by which the sugars are browned and produce pleasing flavors.
12:13But I think the sweet potato fries call for 425.
12:17Oh, crap.
12:22You're right.
12:27Ah!
12:27They rejected me!
12:29I'm trying to infiltrate a private online parenting group so I can chat up some people who are bullying our victim.
12:35But it seems like they sniffed around and figured out that we don't exactly live within the city limits of Brentwood.
12:41We don't even live close enough to have the same weather as Brentwood.
12:44Oh, by the way, my classmate Finn is having an 11th birthday party soon, so I'll need a gift.
12:49Awesome.
12:50What do you want to get him?
12:52Ava, what's a good gift for a boy's 11th birthday?
12:56Ava, do you have any ideas?
12:58Hey, phone face.
13:01Hi, your brother's talking to you.
13:03I don't know.
13:04Elliot's the only fifth grader here.
13:07Hey, I was super into Legos when I was 11.
13:10My favorite was a Toy Story 2 set because I had a big crush on Jessie.
13:13You did?
13:14I could totally see it.
13:16With her cute pigtails and your eyes just popped out of your head and your jaw dropped to the floor.
13:21Hey, she seemed nice.
13:22Why don't you go grab your tablet and you can pick out a set?
13:25Okay.
13:26Text me again.
13:27Okay.
13:32That's you when you first saw Jessie.
13:34Did you change your text tones to say Awooga?
13:36Only for the text from you.
13:38I can't believe you.
13:40Me neither.
13:44Hey, you want to go through Tara's phone?
13:47That's all you.
13:48Oh, yeah.
13:49This place still smells like cheap floor wax and mascara-durine from the suckers we put away.
13:56You must be Chuck.
13:59Ah, you got me.
14:00Did you bring the photos for the Foley case?
14:02Indeed I did.
14:03Yep, all 1,500 of them.
14:06Yeah, Karadek wanted me to walk you through them.
14:09You know, identify all the key players.
14:10But first, I need a chair with solid lumbar support.
14:15There she is.
14:16I slipped a disc between my L2 and L3.
14:19You know what?
14:20I got to Tara's phone.
14:22Let me tear it up with Chuck.
14:26Okay.
14:28Seems like you have some personal photos mixed in here.
14:32All my photos are personal.
14:35Are you on any of these online parenting groups?
14:38Absolutely not.
14:39Don't need some self-righteous mom telling me I don't love my kids if I don't cut their cucumbers
14:44on the little smiley faces before I cram them in their lunchbox.
14:47Yeah, I would never take you as the type to anthropomorphize vegetables.
14:50That is the kindest thing you've ever said to me.
14:53Warning from a concerned mom.
14:55Ward's new nanny, Tara, is cruel and neglectful.
14:57Last Tuesday, she grabbed his arm so hard he screamed.
15:00Then Thursday, she yelled at him to stop crying and left him stuck on the top of the play structure.
15:04I didn't write that.
15:08Sure seems like you did, and a bunch of other ones just like it.
15:11I mean, why don't you take a second look?
15:15Didn't write it.
15:16Didn't write it.
15:18That's pretty good, but I didn't write it.
15:19Didn't.
15:20No, you know, I did write this one.
15:22Which one?
15:23At the library on Wednesday afternoon, a dark-headed boy wearing galoshes and a conductor hat was unattended for 15 minutes, crying and calling for a Rosa.
15:30He ran out the front door and would have gone into traffic had it not been for a quick library staff member.
15:36Finally, Rosa showed up with no excuse.
15:38If this is your nanny, she is dangerous.
15:41Exclamation point.
15:42Okay.
15:43So, you got Rosa fired.
15:45No, I didn't get her fired.
15:46I reported an issue.
15:48In my line of work, safety is paramount.
15:50I'm a VP of a commercial real estate firm.
15:53It's very demanding.
15:54Usually, child care falls to my husband, Mark, but I had the day off, so I was able to take our daughter to the library.
16:01Now, I don't know all the kids and the nannies like my husband does because I'm not around during the day.
16:07So, I had to post on Facebook to let the parents know what had happened.
16:10My point is, is that I tried to do the right thing, and it bit me in the ass.
16:14Well, how so?
16:15Well, after I wrote that post, I was eviscerated in private messages saying I ruined a woman's career, said I needed to check my privilege.
16:22It was ridiculous.
16:23Yeah, they wouldn't be saying that if it was their kid.
16:26Exactly.
16:27Okay, so I just said, screw this, and deactivated my account.
16:31Where were you two nights ago?
16:32I was working very late.
16:34I have a big, big presentation coming up.
16:37Look, I'm sorry that this nanny Tara is dead, but I didn't know her.
16:43Well, the initial search of Tara's apartment didn't turn up anything of note, but I want to go back again now that we know more about our suspects.
16:49Hopefully, we'll find some answers.
16:53Talk to me, Daph.
16:55Tara has someone saved in her phone as Little Sketchy.
16:58The texts are intense.
17:00I'm sending them to you now.
17:01I think we might have an actual stalker on their hands.
17:03Any luck tracking down the other people who wrote negative posts about Tara?
17:06Still working on it.
17:08Thanks, Daph.
17:08Bye.
17:09Okay, here we go.
17:12Little Sketchy, my forever love.
17:14Why do you forsake me?
17:15My heart knows not its beat if it can't echo that of yours.
17:19Little Sketchy, if I don't see you soon, I don't know what I'll do.
17:23That was three days ago.
17:25She never wrote back.
17:26Tara's apartment seems pretty neat.
17:40I still feel kind of weird about you parking in her spot.
17:42All right, let's do this methodically.
17:46I'll start with Tara's desk, and you start by making a huge mess.
17:55Look at this.
17:57Tara was religious.
17:58Drawer dump already paying off.
18:01Yeah, we got overdue bills.
18:03Notice of a rent increase.
18:05Tara may have had money trouble.
18:06Hmm.
18:10This is interesting.
18:12She knew Karina was harassing her online.
18:14Well, she may have feared for her life she kept pepper spray on her nightstand.
18:19Well, we got a lawyer's number here.
18:26Khalil Phillips and Strauss.
18:28Hi.
18:28Um, I was wondering if you could tell me if Tara Foley is a client?
18:32I'm afraid we can't divulge client information.
18:35Right.
18:35Uh, well, who might I speak to regarding a stalker?
18:38I'm sorry, sir.
18:39We're an immigration law firm.
18:41Oh.
18:42Um, thank you.
18:43You're welcome.
18:45Huh.
18:46Now that's strange.
18:50Oh, Morgan?
18:51Look at this.
18:53Hmm.
18:55The night she was murdered, she was planning on going to church.
18:57Yeah, I'll have Hoffie find out if anyone saw her there.
19:00Still nothing that points to Brad or Karina or gives us an idea of who little Sketchy was.
19:05Ew.
19:08Morgan, don't.
19:10By all means, let me parse through the trash piece by piece, like a lady.
19:17At a certain point, just treat yourself to the full-size bar.
19:20Mm-hmm.
19:23Bingo.
19:24Sunday night poetry slam.
19:27Based on little Sketchy's overly wrought rhyme scheme, I bet we could find the guy here.
19:31And today just happens to be...
19:33Sunday Funday.
19:34Where is Ava?
19:39She's ten minutes late.
19:43Oh.
19:44Forgot to tell you, our prime delivery came with Finn's birthday present in it.
19:49Just ordered it yesterday.
19:50It's already here.
19:52Actually, I don't need it after all.
19:55Turns out I'm the only kid in class Finn didn't invite.
19:58What?
19:59That's gotta be a mistake.
20:00It's not.
20:02I promise.
20:05Well, this sucks.
20:07Hey, I still think it's just a mistake.
20:10But if it's not, you're keeping that present because you're a wonderful kid and you deserve it.
20:16There you are.
20:17Where have you been?
20:18I gotta go to work.
20:20Can you put that down, please?
20:22You have actual people in the room.
20:23I'm just being polite and thanking Ryder for dropping me off.
20:26Ryder drives?
20:27Most 26-year-olds do.
20:30Not funny.
20:31Not the night and not funny.
20:33Because if I couldn't be in a worse mood, I gotta go to a poetry reading.
20:38Tara, oh Tara.
20:40You're gone with the wind.
20:42I am left heartbroken, beaten, and chagrined.
20:48Goodbye, Terrasaurus.
20:51Whose sort?
20:52Us.
20:53Who's dead?
20:55You.
21:04Excuse me.
21:05Um, we need to talk.
21:08I'm Detective Karadek.
21:09This is Consultant Guillory with the LAPD.
21:11We're looking into the murder of Tara Foley.
21:13Good.
21:15I know who killed her.
21:23Brian Schlotzky is on his way in for questioning.
21:31You know, I can't stress enough the importance of hand-to-hand combat training in our line of work.
21:35I could show you a few moves.
21:36I can't believe you brought Chuck the Canuck back to our precinct.
21:40No, you gotta admit, it's fun to watch us squirm.
21:43Daphne, any luck finding the other people who posted about Tara on that 90049 parents group?
21:48Still looking, it's a needle in a haystack.
21:50There are so many moms named Megan out there.
21:53I think we might have someone else to consider.
21:56Mark, Karina's husband.
21:59Mark's in a lot of these photos.
22:01He and Tara seem cozy.
22:03And in this one, he's wielding a bat.
22:05That could cause a hematoma.
22:07Can you go back one?
22:10Tara's wearing Mark's sweatshirt.
22:12Well, how do you know?
22:13It's got the old Supersonics logo on it.
22:16Supersonics.
22:17Fast food joint.
22:17No.
22:18Former NBA team based in Seattle.
22:20In 2008, they moved to Oklahoma and played under a different sound theme name, the Thunder.
22:25I think Mark was from Seattle.
22:27On their mantle, I saw a family photo of them standing at the Space Needle.
22:30In the distance, you could see Mount Rainier, and in the foreground were the arches of Lumen Field.
22:34Daphne, pay Mark a visit.
22:36Find out what the real nature of his relationship was with Tara.
22:39Got it.
22:39Husky and Princey's for me.
22:41Yeah.
22:43And it would appear that little Sketchy has arrived for his interview.
22:49Oh, give me one sec.
22:53Real quick.
22:54Hello?
22:54Hi, this is Jean-Anne.
22:55Finn's mom returning your call.
22:57Oh, hi, Jean-Anne.
22:58Hey, listen, I think there's been a misunderstanding.
23:00See, my son, Elliot, believes he's the only kid not invited to your son's birthday party.
23:06Oh, Finn made the guest list.
23:07It's a small group, and he and Elliot don't know each other that well.
23:10Oh, well, that's an easy fix.
23:11Why doesn't he come over tomorrow for a play date?
23:13Tomorrow?
23:14I guess that could work.
23:15Perfect.
23:15We'll see Finn then.
23:16Great.
23:17Bye.
23:18Motherhood has made me so understanding.
23:21How did you know Tara?
23:23Tara was my babysitter.
23:25Where were you the night Tara died?
23:27I was outside her apartment complex, blasting a love song through a speaker.
23:31Can anyone confirm that?
23:33Uh, several of the tenants were quite frustrated with my act of devotion.
23:38At the poetry reading, you said you knew who killed Tara.
23:43It was Mark.
23:45A dad at the playground.
23:47He started horning in and made Tara cut me out of her life, but Tara would never be with a married man.
23:53So he killed her.
24:04Hi, Mark.
24:05Daphne Forrester, LAPD.
24:07Is there news about Tara?
24:09Not exactly.
24:12Can you tell me why Tara was wearing your sweatshirt in this photo?
24:16I guess she was cold.
24:19Looks like you two were pretty close.
24:21We were.
24:21Ward and my daughter Ruby were playground friends, so I got to know her pretty well.
24:26You know, she didn't have any family, so I was there for her.
24:29Gave her advice when I could.
24:32Was it more than friendship for you?
24:34What?
24:35No.
24:37No.
24:38I love my wife.
24:40I'm devoted to her.
24:41Tara was a friend.
24:43Okay.
24:43Where were you the night Tara died?
24:45Here.
24:47Hosting book club.
24:48We were reading Liz Gilbert's Big Magic.
24:50Wait, actually, you know what?
24:52You can ask anyone in my book club.
24:55We're called the Lou Reads, except read is spelled.
24:58I can guess.
24:59Is that your bad?
25:04Um.
25:09This?
25:12Yes, for wiffle ball.
25:13It's plastic.
25:14Totally harmless.
25:15See?
25:15You're doing great.
25:30I have actual race cars if you want to do a tactile thing later.
25:33I've got freshly opened cookies.
25:40Do you have anything without refined sugar?
25:44Let me go look.
25:48Gosh.
25:49Imagine being there in the summer of 56 when Art Angles invented the first go-kart.
25:54Dude!
25:55You made me lose!
25:56I'm sorry.
25:57I didn't mean to.
25:58You really suck the fun into everything.
26:00You know, I'm only here because my mom made me, right?
26:03You're just a weirdo who can't shut up.
26:05That's why you're not invited to my birthday party.
26:06Hey, Finn.
26:07I'm taking everybody to Knott's Berry Farm next week, and you're not invited.
26:11I sure would love to bring you along, but they got a no-turn-kid policy,
26:15so I guess we'll just have to miss you on this one.
26:17Why don't you grab your stuff and go sit on the porch and wait for your mom?
26:22Bye.
26:24Thanks for coming.
26:24I kind of blacked out.
26:33How bad was it?
26:33What just came out of my mouth?
26:35Bad.
26:37It was all bad.
26:43I'm so sorry I forced a playdate.
26:45Finn does not deserve a friend like you.
26:47I know it's hard to be different.
26:51But listen, you are fun no matter what that little jerk says.
26:56I'll believe it when I see it.
26:58I don't know.
27:07One of them thinks he's not cool, and the other one's basically divorced herself from our family.
27:12If she's not with her boyfriend, she's constantly texting him.
27:15Yep.
27:16I'm so sorry, Morgan.
27:17This too shall pass.
27:19And then something even harder will come up.
27:21Oh, good.
27:22Thank you so much.
27:24Honestly, this Foley case is driving me nuts.
27:26We are missing something.
27:28I can feel it.
27:29I do too.
27:34Brett's couple's counseling alibi checked out.
27:36Although he may have hired someone to kill Tara.
27:38Look into his financials.
27:41You might want to see this.
27:46Tara's with the other nannies in a lot of Chuck's photos.
27:49They might have known each other better than we thought.
27:51I mean, they did spend every day together.
27:56Our main suspects all have alibis.
28:00Not all airtight, but still.
28:01Go back to the nannies.
28:03Find out everything they know about Tara.
28:05Anything we may have missed.
28:06Yeah.
28:07Awesome.
28:08I remembered that boxing combo is lethal if done correctly.
28:11I'm actually heading out.
28:13All right, we'll talk about it later.
28:14Morgan, I think you and I should tag along.
28:15Carradac, you want to play some handball?
28:17Soon as I get back, bro.
28:17Soon as I get back.
28:18All right.
28:19Woo!
28:19Remember the good old days, Selina?
28:23You know, when you can arrest a perp in the morning
28:25and then take him out for a beer in the afternoon, you know?
28:28When everybody wasn't so sensitive about everything.
28:30Darius!
28:32Come here, please.
28:34I wanted to ask you about the Tara Foley case.
28:37Chuck, I think you better excuse us.
28:40You want me to get the Chuck out of here?
28:41My hourly rates are too high.
28:43Thank you, Chuck.
28:47Ugh.
28:49You are a lifesaver.
28:51I hope I didn't pull you from anything urgent.
28:53Nope.
28:53Just snagging a cup of the good coffee you guys have up here.
28:56But I do have an update.
28:58The toxicologist report on Tara Foley came out clean,
29:00and we found no evidence of defensive wounds on her body.
29:03Which means when she was attacked, she didn't fight back.
29:05She was taken by surprise.
29:07Or she knew her attacker.
29:08Seems like it.
29:09Ugh.
29:13We're hoping you could tell us a little more about Tara.
29:19She was nice.
29:20Almost too nice.
29:22She didn't know her worth.
29:24I hear she was working for $10 an hour, less than we do.
29:28And with no benefits.
29:30Poor thing.
29:31An extra $10 an hour would help with those overdue bills.
29:34This job is easier if you work together.
29:37Coordinate.
29:37Only one nanny needs to bring a soccer ball.
29:40That sort of thing.
29:41But she didn't take us up on offers to help.
29:43You know, the saddest part is, she might still be alive if she was a joiner.
29:48Joiner?
29:49What do you mean?
29:49Well, the night that she passed, I was house-sitting,
29:52so I had these girls over to just hang out.
29:55She could have been with us.
29:57But instead...
29:59Oh, God rest her soul.
30:02The only one she was friends with was Mark.
30:04Got his wife didn't like that.
30:07What was her name?
30:08Karina.
30:09Right.
30:10Karina.
30:10You remember that fight?
30:12What fight?
30:14His wife show up one day and scream at Tara and Mark.
30:19Tara looked really frightened.
30:26Karina's motive just got a whole lot clearer.
30:28She was jealous.
30:29Didn't she have an alibi?
30:29She said she was working late, which was confirmed by the security log at her office.
30:33Anyone can jump a turnstile if they want to avoid scanning their ID, or they don't have
30:38money for the metro, want to sneak into a Brandi Carlisle concert, for example.
30:45Karina.
30:46Hey, it's Daphne.
30:47You know those other moms who post negative things about Tara and the Brentwood parents
30:50group?
30:51Yeah.
30:51They don't exist.
30:52Don't exist.
30:53Their profiles appear to be fake.
30:55So somebody who hated Tara created fake profiles to drag her?
30:59Yeah, we're about to go talk to somebody who fits that bill.
31:01Thanks, Daphne.
31:04So, we need to be keeping an eye on sustainability.
31:07As our clients value, um...
31:12Tell us about the heated argument you and Mark had at the park, please.
31:25Did it have anything to do with Mark's relationship with Tara?
31:28What?
31:29No.
31:30Are you...
31:30Are you suggesting I was jealous of Tara?
31:34Well, jealousy is a common motive.
31:36You wouldn't exactly be rewriting the playbook.
31:37I wasn't mad about Tara.
31:40I was mad about our deck.
31:42Mark had one simple job.
31:45Just order the wood for our new deck.
31:47And out of all the types of wood, do you know which one he ordered?
31:52Alaskan spruce!
31:55Everyone knows that Alaskan spruce shrinks and grain.
31:58Okay?
31:58And causes serious problems when it gets wet.
32:02I mean, I know that, but I'm not everyone.
32:04You are the only real person we can link to the negative posts about Tara.
32:07All the other profiles were fake.
32:09Did you maybe create them to upset the young woman that your husband was so close with?
32:12Oh, my God.
32:13Look, I told you, I never posted about Tara.
32:17Only Rosa.
32:18I took my daughter to story time at the library one time, okay?
32:24As a working mother, that is a special opportunity to hang out with your kid in the middle of the day.
32:31And while I was there, I happened to see something awful, so I said something.
32:34And then it backfired and I deleted my account.
32:36Hang on, hang on, hang on.
32:38What time is story time?
32:39Noon.
32:40All the comments about Tara were posted between 12 and 1 p.m.
32:44Story time.
32:45It's basically a time when caretakers get to take a little breather because the kids are otherwise occupied.
32:50And who would want to infiltrate a parent group where the subject is trashing nannies?
32:56The nannies!
32:57They were in that group under fake accounts.
33:00They bullied Karina off of Facebook when she came for Rosa.
33:03And then once Tara was hired, they scraped her old profile and made a new one.
33:07They posed as Karina and other concerned parents, and they reported Tara.
33:12But the other nannies liked Tara.
33:14Did they?
33:14I've been on the outside of the mom clique enough times to know when people are being nice to your face but judging you behind your back.
33:19When people like Tara come in and work for less money and no benefits, they devalue our job.
33:25She didn't abide by the nanny code.
33:26Tara wasn't welcome.
33:28She replaced our friend.
33:31Those nannies resented Tara.
33:32She threatened their very way of life, not to mention they were loyal to the woman she replaced.
33:37Rosa.
33:38Or, should we say, Sporty Spice.
33:44Each of the kids had a Spice Girls sticker on their lunchbox.
33:47Which was clearly for the nannies, because what three-year-old gives a zig-a-zig-ah about a 30-year-old band?
33:57Band?
33:58Except there was one Spice Girl missing.
34:01Sporty Spice was tucked away in the back of the shelf in Brett and Jeff's house.
34:05Tara didn't want to use that lunchbox because the Spice Girl stickers were the original five nannies thing.
34:10And Tara was on the outs.
34:11So you think all the nannies killed Tara because they were mad she replaced Rosa?
34:15Nope.
34:16Oksana did.
34:18And you know this because?
34:19Because of the capitalization conventions in the Russian language.
34:22In the post that Karina admits to writing about Rosa, she capitalizes the day of the week that the incident occurred.
34:28But in the post that Karina denies writing about Tara, the days of the week are lower-cased, which would only make sense if you were a native Russian speaker.
34:35Because in Russian, you don't capitalize days of the week.
34:38But even if Oksana was bullying Tara online using fake accounts, that doesn't mean she killed her.
34:43Well, of course it does.
34:44Because of the way she crossed herself.
34:47You guys aren't up to date on the great schism between Eastern Orthodoxy and Catholicism?
34:51I don't know.
34:52Not totally.
34:55Okay.
34:55In 1054, there was a huge fight between Western and Eastern churches called the Great Schism.
35:01And this resulted in a few fundamental differences between how each church does things.
35:06One of those differences being how members cross themselves.
35:09Okay.
35:09Now this is ringing a bell.
35:11Catholics use five fingers and they cross forehead, chest, left shoulder, right shoulder.
35:17Orthodox Christians cross themselves using three fingers, forehead, chest, right shoulder to left shoulder.
35:23Now when we were chatting with the nannies, I saw Oksana cross herself in the Eastern Orthodox manner.
35:28How does Oksana's religion mean she killed Tara?
35:31Another result of the Great Schism is that the two sides use different calendars.
35:35Catholics use a Gregorian calendar introduced by a Pope in 1582.
35:39Orthodox Christians still use a Julian calendar.
35:41Basically, it means they celebrate the same holidays, but certain holidays fall on different dates.
35:46Much to the chagrin of the little Greek girl whose Easter bunny comes a month after her friends got to eat all their Cadbury eggs.
35:51Mmm.
35:52Mmm.
35:52I love those.
35:53Girl, same.
35:54So good.
35:55You can go back to work now.
35:58Now, do we know what religion Tara Foley was?
36:02Catholic?
36:03Catholic!
36:03We found a rosary.
36:05That's classic Catholic.
36:06Mm.
36:07But don't forget what I said about the calendars.
36:09Oh, how could we?
36:10On Tara's calendar, she had marked down a date for the exaltation of the cross, September 27th.
36:15But Catholics celebrate that on the 14th.
36:18So she wasn't planning to go to her church service.
36:20She was going to Oksana's.
36:22Tara had figured out that Oksana was the one who was bullying her, and that explains the number for the immigration lawyer we found in her apartment.
36:29Identity fraud is a crime that can get your visa revoked.
36:31Tara knew that by making fake profiles on Facebook and pretending to be Karina, Oksana was putting her visa in jeopardy and she could be deported.
36:37Exactly.
36:38Tara knew that Oksana was going to be at the Russian Orthodox Church that night.
36:42Which is a block away from the park.
36:44After the service, Tara confronted Oksana.
36:47Oksana freaked out and bashed her in the head.
36:53She thought she'd finish the job, but she didn't.
36:57Tara was out of sorts, afraid that Oksana would follow her.
37:00She went to the park, hid in the slide, where she died.
37:05Were you with Oksana the night Tara was murdered?
37:07Yes.
37:07Yes.
37:08Yes.
37:09Can you tell me what you did that night?
37:10Oh, my employers were out of town, so I just had a girls' night in.
37:13We had some drinks, went in the hot tub.
37:16Oksana made dinner.
37:17Then we watched the movie.
37:18Everyone left around 1 a.m.
37:19Well, thanks.
37:21Super helpful.
37:22We're just going to go ahead and check the nanny cams.
37:25They don't have nanny cams.
37:27Well, the whole point of a nanny cam is that you don't tell the nanny.
37:34Oksana wasn't there.
37:35Oksana is a very scary lady.
37:37She made us lie.
37:38Oksana swore it was an accident.
37:39I can't believe you found nanny cams and didn't tell me.
38:02I was bluffing.
38:05Sneaky spice.
38:05Your friends turned on you.
38:18They said you forced them to provide your alibi.
38:21We know that you are the one who killed Tara.
38:29That little bitch threatened me.
38:32Said she's going to have me sent back to Russia for creating those posts.
38:36After everything I sacrificed to get here.
38:39After the persecution my family endured.
38:42Tara had no idea what going back would mean for me.
38:46That's why I picked up that rock.
38:48You could have just promised to stop bullying her.
38:51I couldn't take a risk.
38:53I would always be looking over my shoulder.
38:57I choose prison here over going back to Russia any day.
39:00And so you have.
39:22I gotta go do something.
39:23You guys play.
39:24Have fun.
39:25Hey.
39:29It was a time you would have killed to go to the playground.
39:32Well it's because Ava would make me puke on the spinner.
39:34It was fun.
39:36But we're different people now.
39:38Oh you want to go play over there?
39:44Okay.
39:45You can go right over there.
39:46Don't go too far.
39:48Hey Jeff.
39:50Thought I might find you here.
39:52Well it hasn't felt right to hire a new nanny yet.
39:56But I'm so relieved the Tara's killer is behind bars.
39:59Tara deserved that.
40:00At least.
40:01Well now that the case is closed there's something I thought you might like.
40:04Hey.
40:14Wow.
40:16I never got to see this.
40:17You know.
40:19There every day together.
40:22That is the heartbreaking thing about being a working parent.
40:26I'm sad.
40:27Your kid has all these experiences that you are just not a part of.
40:31And your main focus when you hire a caretaker is that your child will be safe.
40:38But your hope is that your child will be loved.
40:43And Ward was loved by Tara.
40:46And I knew that.
40:49But now I get to see it.
40:50I'm gonna kneel me for it.
40:53And forget I care about it.
40:57I'll keep moving through the side.
41:02I just take a cry away.
41:06I'm gonna kneel me for it.
41:07Wait!
41:07Get on!
41:07Get on!
41:08Get on!
41:09Get on!
41:10Okay.
41:11I'm on.
41:11I'm on.
41:11Woo!
41:12Woo!
41:13Woo!
41:13Woo!

41:20Woo!
41:20Woo!
41:21Woo!
41:22Woo!
41:22Ayva, you're going to make me lose my lunch!
41:25Don't stop!
41:26Whoa!
41:26Whoa!
41:27Whoa!
41:28Whoa!
41:34Yeah?
41:34He's gonna make you puke up yesterday's lunch, too!
41:37Woo!
41:37Woo!
41:38Woo!
41:38Woo!
41:39Woo!
41:40Woo!
41:41Woo!
41:43Woo!
