00:00:00Morning.
00:00:01Hey.
00:00:04How many times have I asked you not to look at MRI scans at the dinner table?
00:00:08It's my job. And it's the breakfast table, thank you.
00:00:12So you find anything good in there? Talk to you leave a clamp behind?
00:00:17Always on that phone, huh?
00:00:19Damon, can't wait to talk to you until you get to school.
00:00:22Who's Damon? Well, I'd love to know. Come on, Apple.
00:00:26Dad, I'm not a four-year-old. You can't call me that anymore.
00:00:29Sorry, kiddo.
00:00:31Damon is actually my rat today.
00:00:35See you later, Dadio.
00:00:36Kiss on the cheek at least?
00:00:38Next time.
00:00:40Don't forget about dinner. We're having people over.
00:00:42And wear your seatbelts.
00:00:47You'd think this Damon character might come inside and introduce himself at some point.
00:00:51She's still our little girl, right?
00:00:53It's not April's fault. She's invited him in on several occasions.
00:00:59Not surprising.
00:01:01John, what the hell is going on?
00:01:03Erica, you know you shouldn't be here. Who let you in?
00:01:05I will not be destroyed. You owe me.
00:01:08It's not my case. I don't control anything about it.
00:01:11Shut it down.
00:01:12What do you mean, shut it down?
00:01:14Do you need a dictionary?
00:01:16This isn't a switch we can just turn on and off.
00:01:18No, it's a lightning rod.
00:01:20Lower your voice.
00:01:21No, I'm not. You're going to get hit just as badly as I am.
00:01:25God, you do not understand the consequences.
00:01:29I do understand. Damn it, Erica. I understand.
00:01:34Hey.
00:01:35Hi.
00:01:36Oh, you know I hate photos, my son.
00:01:39And you know I hate confronting too old people about kissing some dangerous little stranger?
00:01:43Who do you think is going to hate my tattoos more?
00:01:46Kathy or David?
00:01:48Stalker? How do you know my parents' names?
00:01:50It's fine. It's not stalking if you post it for the world to see.
00:01:54Yeah, well, it's just creepy.
00:01:56Come on, Apple. Cut me some slack.
00:01:58Oh, my God. I should never let you go through my phone.
00:02:01My dad is so embarrassing.
00:02:03And don't call me Apple.
00:02:05Come on. It's cute. I can't wait to meet him.
00:02:08Yeah, well, we'll see. Let's get out of here.
00:02:10Alright.
00:02:15I just don't trust a kid who wears a beanie in 85 degree weather.
00:02:18Right?
00:02:23John, what is it?
00:02:24Hey, David, I'm glad I called you.
00:02:26I've been dealing with an ER coronary attack.
00:02:29I can't find the file on the ER coronary case.
00:02:31Hey, babe, don't forget, it's your day to pick up April from La Crosse at 4, okay?
00:02:36Anyway, I really need to see the files.
00:02:38I know it's your day off, but are you planning on coming by the office today?
00:02:41Do you hear me?
00:02:43Okay.
00:02:44Uh, no. I wasn't planning on coming to the office today.
00:02:47I was hoping to review it...
00:02:48He's...
00:02:49Uh...
00:02:50Hello?
00:02:51Yeah, sure.
00:02:52Can you just hold on a minute?
00:02:56Okay.
00:02:57Remind John about dinner.
00:02:58I will.
00:02:59Okay.
00:03:00I'm really going now.
00:03:01I love you.
00:03:02Don't forget April.
00:03:03There's another call coming in.
00:03:04Uh, what?
00:03:05Another call.
00:03:06Uh, sure. Yeah, call me back.
00:03:07Okay, bye.
00:03:08He's not coming in today. Look, I don't know where the files are and I don't know where David keeps them. And we've been through his desk and every cabinet in this office, but nothing. He must have taken him home with them.
00:03:29Better hope so, John.
00:03:34March 25th, continuing work on the Gallagher file. These show explicit communiques from CEO Erica Hearns directing transfers into previously undisclosed offshore accounts. Assuming these are legit, we're looking at rampant corruption and a conspiracy to destroy evidence.
00:03:55Okay, Michelle, what are we looking at?
00:04:05Hi, this is attorney Mike Gallagher. Leave me a message.
00:04:08Hey, Mike, are you back from Dubai? I have a few questions as I'm completing these files. We're close. Let me know when you're available to talk. Thanks.
00:04:16Can we talk? John, I have a front door.
00:04:23Any more sections? Here, right here. Clamp? Hold that back.
00:04:37Hey, bud, you alone? Yeah. What's wrong?
00:04:47I need to discuss Erica Hearns. I'm telling you, keep clear from that woman. I spent last night with her.
00:04:53Good. You are your own worst enemy.
00:04:55I had to do something. The situation is out of control. You need to take the Gallagher file and burn it and just be done with it.
00:05:01If I walk away now, they'll call it obstruction of justice and I'll go to jail. Better jail than dead.
00:05:06More section. Clamp.
00:05:12God? God?
00:05:14Is that a threat?
00:05:16Not from me. David, her company is worth billions, all right? And she's gonna protect it.
00:05:21What did she tell you exactly?
00:05:24You need to burn the file, drop the case, and she'll get you a lot of money and leave you and your family alone.
00:05:30She said that.
00:05:31She said enough.
00:05:32She mentioned my family.
00:05:33In so many words.
00:05:34John, the only thing keeping any of us alive are those files.
00:05:38I am telling you, she's coming after us. All of us.
00:05:41So we'll go to the FBI.
00:05:43She's not messing around, David.
00:05:45Neither am I.
00:05:47How quickly can you finish?
00:05:48I can't have the files in front of the judge first thing Monday morning.
00:05:51Get a warrant then and there.
00:05:52And what if she doesn't wait that long?
00:05:55Plan B.
00:05:56Which is what?
00:05:57I haven't figured that out yet.
00:05:59We'll figure it out.
00:06:03How's the blood pressure?
00:06:04Blood pressure is 117 over 81 and stable.
00:06:07All right, good. Two more sutures.
00:06:10Monitor the blood flow for ten minutes.
00:06:12If the grass holds, Michelle, you close them up.
00:06:14Yes, Dr. Meyer.
00:06:15Looks good, team.
00:06:16It just dropped the case, John.
00:06:17It can't happen.
00:06:18What the hell is she doing here, John?
00:06:19We're suing her.
00:06:20This compromises us.
00:06:21Nice to see you too, David.
00:06:22She came over unannounced.
00:06:23So you don't bring her into this office without her lawyer, period.
00:06:25You're already going through disbarment proceedings because of her.
00:06:26This is only gonna make it worse.
00:06:27David, may I have a word?
00:06:28Miss Hearns, we have nothing to discuss.
00:06:31Miss Hearns, we have nothing to discuss.
00:06:32How do we make this thing?
00:06:34Go away.
00:06:35The only place this thing is going?
00:06:36The only place this thing is going?
00:06:37Is to the feds.
00:06:39David, just drop the cash.
00:06:40David, just drop the family lock.
00:06:41I think you're right.
00:06:42Guys, it's really bad.
00:06:43But you don't get anything else.
00:06:44You don't get anything else.
00:06:45You don't get anything else.
00:06:46No, I'm sorry.
00:06:47You don't make it anything else.
00:06:48No, you're not full of all the way your friend.
00:06:49If you're not full of all the way, this is going.
00:06:50You're not full of all the way, David.
00:06:51You're too young, you're pretty guys.
00:06:52You're good.
00:06:53I'm here, is now making this a joke?
00:06:54I'm the finny, I'm the happy to do, David.
00:06:56I'm right, David.
00:06:57How do we make this thing go away?
00:07:02The only place this thing is going is to the feds.
00:07:06David, just drop the case.
00:07:09Give your daughter a college fund.
00:07:11Let's do this the easy way.
00:07:14You know, I don't really feel like getting disbarred like my partner here.
00:07:17He's not getting disbarred.
00:07:19He's going to get a little slap on the wrist.
00:07:21He violated more than a dozen...
00:07:22I have bigger friends than you do.
00:07:25So, I've got this taken care of.
00:07:29He'll get a warning, but only if you make this go away.
00:07:36Erica, you are manipulative and dangerous.
00:07:39David, think about this.
00:07:42It's probably better for everyone.
00:07:43Oh, John, come on. Don't do this again.
00:07:45You should...
00:07:46You don't stop.
00:07:47Really?
00:07:47Get her the hell out of this office before I call the bar and add to their list of evidence.
00:07:55Erica Hearns, you were going to jail for a very long time.
00:08:01Hey, it's me.
00:08:25Uh, so I heard it might rain tonight, so that means your burnt burger barbecue is going to have to move inside.
00:08:33I know.
00:08:34I'm trying to sneak out of here early, though, so...
00:08:36We need you back right away. Sorry.
00:08:39Okay.
00:08:40I have to call you back.
00:08:41I love you.
00:08:41Bye.
00:08:41I have to call you back.
00:09:11Any more suction?
00:09:13He's not responding.
00:09:14BP's spiking.
00:09:15He's going into public left.
00:09:16He's crashing.
00:09:17He's badmining.
00:09:19We're losing him.
00:09:21All right, people, focus.
00:09:22We're not losing anyone.
00:09:25Not today.
00:09:26Okay.
00:09:26Okay.
00:09:41Who the hell are you?
00:09:53Who the hell are you?
00:09:57Hi, Daddy.
00:09:58Um, where are you?
00:10:01Did you forget about me?
00:10:02I'm really sorry I've been so mean to you lately.
00:10:05I love you.
00:10:09Cat, Dr. K was my favorite med school professor.
00:10:12Well, you were my best surgical student, Kathy, and you showed it today.
00:10:16She's right, Kathy.
00:10:17You saved his life.
00:10:19Oh, come on.
00:10:20No, we were all around.
00:10:21It's a team effort.
00:10:23So, are you coming to our barbecue tonight?
00:10:25Dave is counting on it.
00:10:26Of course.
00:10:27I'm on call, but I'll be there.
00:10:29Mrs. Meyer.
00:10:30Yes?
00:10:31Hi.
00:10:32I'm Detective Jansen of the Los Angeles Police Department.
00:10:35This is Officer Cahill.
00:10:36What can I do for you?
00:10:37Your husband is David Meyer, is that correct?
00:10:41Yes.
00:10:42Mrs. Meyer, is there a place where we can go and talk privately?
00:10:46No, this is Michelle.
00:10:48She's my best friend.
00:10:49She can hear.
00:10:49What's going on?
00:10:50Mrs. Meyer.
00:10:52Can you just tell me that something happened to David?
00:10:55Mrs. Meyer, we responded to a call of shots fired at your home this afternoon.
00:11:00I'm very, very sorry, ma'am, but your husband was found dead from an apparent self-inflicted gunshot wound.
00:11:09That's not possible.
00:11:10I'm on my way home to a dinner party right now.
00:11:13I'm very, very sorry, ma'am.
00:11:16Mrs. Meyer, is there a place where maybe you'd like to go and talk to someone?
00:11:27Just give her a minute.
00:11:28You do?
00:11:29Yes, of course.
00:11:30But you said self-inflicted.
00:11:32Yes.
00:11:33There was a note.
00:11:34Apparently, it was a suicide.
00:11:36What?
00:11:37Oh, my God.
00:11:37No, what about April?
00:11:46Was my daughter at the house when this happened?
00:11:49There was no one there when officers arrived.
00:11:51Currently, we have personnel on site that are conducting an investigation and processing the scene.
00:11:57If you'd like, you can ride with us.
00:12:00I'll just drive her home.
00:12:02I'll be there shortly.
00:12:04Yes, of course.
00:12:06Kath, tell me, what do you need?
00:12:08I don't know.
00:12:08I don't know.
00:12:10Just do me a favor.
00:12:11Just go find April.
00:12:12She's stuck at school.
00:12:13No, Rana.
00:12:14I'll do that.
00:12:15But you can't drive.
00:12:16No, I'll be fine.
00:12:18Just, just please find April.
00:12:21April, I'm sorry.
00:12:34Yeah, Dad never showed, and my backup plan with Damon, who also ditched me.
00:12:38Probably for some other girl, so.
00:12:42Baby, Daddy's not going to be able to come get you.
00:12:46And I got stuck at the hospital, so Michelle's going to come pick you up, okay?
00:12:50What do you mean?
00:12:51Why can't Dad come get me?
00:12:54Mom, you there?
00:12:58Michelle should be there soon, okay?
00:12:59I'll just, I'll explain everything when I see you.
00:13:01I love you.
00:13:02Okay, love you too.
00:13:03Okay.
00:13:03Love you too.
00:13:21John.
00:13:22Hey, Kathy, just want, I wanted to check in.
00:13:32Can't get a hold of David.
00:13:33Is everything still on for tonight?
00:13:35John, can you just come over to the house, please?
00:13:38We need you.
00:13:39Sure.
00:13:40Is everything all right?
00:13:40It's David.
00:13:45What about David?
00:13:49He's gone.
00:13:52What do you mean, gone?
00:13:55He's gone.
00:13:56David's gone.
00:13:57Oh, my God.
00:14:06Kathy.
00:14:08I...
00:14:09Can you just come over to the house, please?
00:14:11We...
00:14:11We'll tell you everything then.
00:14:13Um, I can't talk right now, okay?
00:14:22Make sure you get David to come around.
00:14:30Otherwise, things could get bad very quickly.
00:14:34I'll work on it.
00:14:35That's not good enough.
00:14:37You need to do this today.
00:14:39Because tomorrow could become a very rough day for David Meyer.
00:16:01How are you doing?
00:16:02I deal with life and death every day.
00:16:05But this...
00:16:05I don't know what this is.
00:16:09I understand.
00:16:09Can I have a minute on my estimate?
00:16:16Of course.
00:16:22Gentlemen.
00:16:25Let's just give her a minute.
00:16:36I don't know what to say.
00:16:38I just want to hear your voice one last time.
00:16:44But I can't.
00:16:47I have to stay strong for our daughter.
00:16:52You wouldn't do this.
00:16:56Who did this to you?
00:17:04Disney.
00:17:05Disney.
00:17:07Come here, baby.
00:17:08This is Myers.
00:17:14It's okay.
00:17:15Go ahead, guys.
00:17:18I want to see this suicide note.
00:17:29I want to see this suicide note.
00:17:42I can't show it to you until the FBI has fully examined all the evidence.
00:17:45The FBI?
00:17:46Why is the FBI here?
00:17:47It's their scene.
00:17:48It seems your husband was working on a brief for them.
00:17:50What are you saying, that it could have been a murder?
00:17:54No.
00:17:55It doesn't appear that way.
00:17:58Was your husband depressed?
00:18:00Was he taking any medications?
00:18:01Anything like that?
00:18:03I don't know.
00:18:04I don't know that I know of.
00:18:06Is that where it happened?
00:18:11Yeah.
00:18:15I don't believe this.
00:18:19Ma'am, are you okay?
00:18:20So what you're saying is that my husband, my loving husband, walked out on that back patio and took his life, tearing apart the family that he loves.
00:18:35No, I just, I don't believe it.
00:18:38I know this is hard.
00:18:39It's always hard to accept.
00:18:41I know it's impossible to accept.
00:18:43What makes you believe this is a homicide?
00:18:45Because I know my husband.
00:18:47I'm, I knew him and he would not have killed me.
00:18:56I understand your grief.
00:18:58I really do.
00:19:00But none of the evidence here leads to homicide.
00:19:02We've seen this so many times.
00:19:06Single shot from his gun, pills, alcohol.
00:19:11Alcohol?
00:19:13Yes.
00:19:14Your husband did have a history of alcoholism, did he not?
00:19:18Okay.
00:19:19I know how this might look.
00:19:21I'm, it just doesn't make any sense.
00:19:27And I, yeah, I might be in shock because my husband's.
00:19:32We were married for 19 years.
00:19:44Yes.
00:19:47Can I, can I just see the note, please?
00:19:51I will get it to you as soon as I can.
00:19:54Okay.
00:19:56Give all this.
00:19:59Some time.
00:20:02I need to come be with my daughter.
00:20:04I'm sorry.
00:20:05Of course.
00:20:09Kathy, how could we have missed this?
00:20:12We're doctors.
00:20:13We should have seen the signs.
00:20:15There were no signs.
00:20:18Because David didn't do this to himself.
00:20:19Kathy.
00:20:28Yeah.
00:20:29I'm so sorry.
00:20:33I'm so sorry about David and about everything.
00:20:36I can't believe this.
00:20:38I know.
00:20:38Come on in.
00:20:44John.
00:20:44Hello, John.
00:20:51Michelle.
00:20:53So, Kathy, what do you mean that David didn't do this to himself?
00:20:59I know David.
00:21:02Nothing can convince me that he did this to himself.
00:21:06And there's nothing showing anything to the contrary.
00:21:09Not yet.
00:21:12He was drunk.
00:21:13I can't believe it.
00:21:17What?
00:21:18I've been so terrible to him.
00:21:20He probably thinks I hated him.
00:21:22No, no, no.
00:21:22Stop that.
00:21:23Listen to me.
00:21:26He knew how much you loved him.
00:21:28You were everything to him.
00:21:30Apple, I hope you don't really feel that way.
00:21:35Daddy loved you more than anything in the whole world.
00:21:40Oh, damn.
00:21:41I'm so sorry, Cass.
00:21:44I'm on call.
00:21:50Hey, babe, don't forget, it's your day to pick up April from La Crosse at 4.
00:22:15What?
00:22:16Am I a child of here?
00:22:20I will.
00:22:22I will.
00:22:24I'm really going now.
00:22:27I love you.
00:22:29Don't forget April.
00:22:30Mom?
00:22:51Hey honey, you okay?
00:22:53You sleeping here tonight?
00:22:55Yes, of course, get in.
00:22:57Come here.
00:23:07Mom?
00:23:08Hm?
00:23:10Why do you and Michelle use sign language?
00:23:12It's just a friend thing we started in college, I guess.
00:23:16You guys always seem to do it when you're upset.
00:23:19Yeah, we do use it to express strong emotions.
00:23:23Unless we're far away from each other and then it's better than yelling.
00:23:26Would you teach me?
00:23:29I'd love to teach you.
00:23:35Good night.
00:23:36Good night.
00:23:37Good night, Mommy.
00:23:38Love you.
00:23:39What am I doing?
00:23:40Good night.
00:23:41Good night.
00:23:42Good night.
00:23:47Good night.
00:23:48Good night.
00:23:49Hey, is, uh, everything okay in there?
00:24:05What happened today?
00:24:06You all right?
00:24:08I'm, uh, sorry about earlier.
00:24:10I got detention.
00:24:11You know how that goes.
00:24:13Just give me a call back when you can.
00:24:19How many times have I asked you not to look at MRI scans at the dinner table?
00:24:23It's my job, and it's the breakfast table, thank you.
00:24:26Hello?
00:24:28This is Meyer.
00:24:30It's Detective Jensen.
00:24:34Good morning.
00:24:37Detective, hi.
00:24:38Hi.
00:24:39Come in, have a seat.
00:24:40I brought you some of David's personal items.
00:24:42And here is a copy of the toxicology report that you requested.
00:24:51Sixteen milligrams of diazepam.
00:24:55Blood alcohol.
00:24:57Point two-oh?
00:24:59Well, forensics shows no sign of a struggle,
00:25:01and the angle of the gunshot wound is consistent with one that was self-inflicted.
00:25:05I don't care.
00:25:06I don't believe it.
00:25:07Our conclusions still stand.
00:25:08We see no reason to rule this as anything other than a suicide.
00:25:12What about his briefcase?
00:25:16His black briefcase.
00:25:16He carried that thing around like it was an extra appendage.
00:25:19He would have not left that at the office.
00:25:21There was no black briefcase.
00:25:26Well, so?
00:25:29I have this.
00:25:35My dearest Kathy.
00:25:37No doubt you are upset with the way this looks.
00:25:40From the moment I met you, you've always held the little key to my heart.
00:25:45But somehow this has all gotten out of hand.
00:25:48I have too many affairs that I couldn't keep straight.
00:25:52There was another woman that held my secrets.
00:25:55The only other woman in my life.
00:25:57I couldn't face you with this truth.
00:26:01You still need to be there to work your magic.
00:26:04To save lives.
00:26:05To lead our daughter with your fine example.
00:26:09Read her the Velveteen Rabbit.
00:26:11And don't give up faith.
00:26:13Please tell April that I will never forget all the times we spent on the swing.
00:26:18And planting flowers in her beautiful flower box.
00:26:20Now it's time for my beautiful women to be the heroes of their own stories.
00:26:27I love you more than life itself.
00:26:30David.
00:26:32The Velveteen Rabbit.
00:26:37Your dad read it to me once.
00:26:40After I lost a patient to comfort me.
00:26:42A key.
00:26:52He mentioned a key.
00:26:54He's trying to tell us something.
00:26:57He sure is.
00:26:59But what is an unlock?
00:27:02He wouldn't have left it if it wasn't important.
00:27:06A key to his heart.
00:27:09Or maybe it's to the real story.
00:27:12No cute pics today, Apple?
00:27:25Not in the mood.
00:27:27Don't ever call me that.
00:27:28Ever.
00:27:37May they live on.
00:27:39And may she still hear my voice in the breeze.
00:27:41And remember me fondly.
00:27:52Oh, man.
00:27:56Mom!
00:27:58Mom!
00:28:00Mom.
00:28:01I don't care.
00:28:02Hurry up.
00:28:02What are you doing?
00:28:05Hurry up.
00:28:06I got it.
00:28:06I got it.
00:28:07I got it.
00:28:07Here.
00:28:07Let me do it.
00:28:08I'm better with technology.
00:28:11Excuse me.
00:28:12I'm a heart surgeon.
00:28:12I'm supposed to take things apart and put them back together again.
00:28:15Yeah, living things.
00:28:17March 25th.
00:28:19Gallagher file.
00:28:20From CEO, Eric.
00:28:22Ramping corruption.
00:28:24Who the hell are you?
00:28:25Piss off the wrong people.
00:28:28Makes this easier.
00:28:28Must have been the dirt and water.
00:28:30Yeah, but there's something there.
00:28:33Okay, look.
00:28:34Here's the deal.
00:28:34No texting, no tweeting, no talking about your dad to anybody.
00:28:38You understand?
00:28:40Mom.
00:28:41What am I supposed to say?
00:28:42Hey, it's me.
00:28:44My dad killed himself because he was having an affair.
00:28:46Now my mom's looking for an imaginary killer.
00:28:48Sad emoji.
00:28:49April.
00:28:50Mom.
00:28:50I'm sorry, but we have no idea.
00:28:52He could have been having like a secret life or something.
00:28:54No.
00:28:54No, there were no secrets.
00:28:56Your dad was not having an affair.
00:28:58We don't know.
00:28:59We don't know anything.
00:29:01Look, I know this hurts, baby.
00:29:04I get it.
00:29:06Note.
00:29:08You mean this supposed suicide note?
00:29:12Yeah, this may be his writing, but the wording is strange.
00:29:16It doesn't exactly say he was having an affair.
00:29:19I mean, listen to how it reads.
00:29:20I have too many affairs.
00:29:22Like the key and the flowers.
00:29:26I think he was writing to us in code.
00:29:28So he wasn't having an affair.
00:29:31I think it was something different.
00:29:35I mean, what other woman in your dad's life handled his affairs?
00:29:44Oh my God.
00:29:46Jess at the office.
00:29:48Dr. Meyer.
00:29:50Hi, Jess.
00:29:50I'm so sorry.
00:29:53David was an amazing man.
00:29:55We're all really heartbroken for you.
00:29:58We just wanted to stop by and check out David's office.
00:30:00Ladies.
00:30:01Hi.
00:30:02I didn't expect to see you here.
00:30:05Hi, John.
00:30:07We just wanted to check out David's office.
00:30:11Yeah, please.
00:30:12Right through here.
00:30:13We know the way.
00:30:14Yes, of course, sure.
00:30:18Sorry.
00:30:19I'm still just shaking up over all this.
00:30:21Anybody want to eat coffee while they...
00:30:23We're fine, John.
00:30:24I think we just need to be left alone.
00:30:27By all means.
00:30:31Kathy, I swear to God.
00:30:32I know.
00:30:34Just play nice until we get through this.
00:30:37I'm so sorry I ever set you guys up.
00:30:39Yeah.
00:30:42Well, c'est la vie.
00:30:44Michelle, I didn't know you dated John.
00:30:46More of a nightmare than a date.
00:30:49What?
00:30:51Nothing.
00:30:52Keep looking.
00:30:53What exactly are we looking for?
00:30:55Your dad's briefcase?
00:30:56Or anything out of the ordinary?
00:31:01His desk looks normal.
00:31:04Nothing here.
00:31:06So what's next?
00:31:07Let's see.
00:31:12Affairs.
00:31:13Meetings.
00:31:14Appointments.
00:31:16Wait, his appointment book.
00:31:18He always had that with him.
00:31:20Maybe it's in the missing briefcase.
00:31:23Maybe.
00:31:26He said he had too many affairs to keep straight.
00:31:30If Jess keeps his affairs in order.
00:31:36That's right.
00:31:36I'm so glad you asked.
00:31:38I almost forgot.
00:31:43Kathy, I don't know if this is important.
00:31:46But the day it happened, David came into the office only for about ten minutes.
00:31:51Is that all?
00:31:52Well, he never lets me see his address book.
00:31:55He's very protective about his client's information.
00:31:57He just always does it himself.
00:32:00But the morning that it happened, he came by and...
00:32:04Jess, I need you to hold this for me.
00:32:06Don't give it to anyone except me or Kathy.
00:32:09Sure, Mr. Meyer.
00:32:10Is everything okay?
00:32:12Yeah.
00:32:12It's just in case.
00:32:14In case of what?
00:32:15Probably nothing.
00:32:17Okay.
00:32:20Just in case.
00:32:22Those were his exact words.
00:32:24Yes, his exact words.
00:32:26Okay.
00:32:27Why don't we just keep this between us, okay?
00:32:31Yes, ma'am.
00:32:33I understand.
00:32:35If you think of anything else, call me.
00:32:37Or if anything weird happens around here, okay?
00:32:40I will.
00:32:42Thanks, Jess.
00:32:42You know, I knew David was busy, but this is insane.
00:32:49Anything stand out?
00:32:51Yeah.
00:32:52A few things here and there.
00:32:55April's choir concert on the 15th.
00:33:01My honorary award ceremony on the 21st.
00:33:05And a meeting with an Erica Hearns.
00:33:09It says unannounced.
00:33:10He has a circled, unannounced.
00:33:13What does it mean?
00:33:14I don't know.
00:33:15The day before David died?
00:33:17Yeah, it looks like the last appointment before it happened.
00:33:21Hey, Apple.
00:33:22Can you do a search on an Erica Hearns?
00:33:25Uh-huh.
00:33:25H-E-A-R-N-S.
00:33:29There's actually a lot of hits.
00:33:32Here's one that's local.
00:33:34Miss Erica Hearns, president of Chartoff Bank.
00:33:38Sounds fancy.
00:33:39Is there an address?
00:33:40One, nine, nine, three, eight, sunset.
00:33:44You can find all this in your phone that easily?
00:33:48Yeah, Michelle.
00:33:49Welcome to the 21st century.
00:33:51Okay, very funny.
00:33:53Here we go.
00:33:54All right.
00:33:55All right.
00:33:55Damon, this is my mom, Kathy, who you've clearly already heard of.
00:34:22Yeah, Miss Myers, I'm so sorry for your loss.
00:34:26Nice to meet you, Damon.
00:34:27And this is basically like my second mom, Michelle.
00:34:30So this is a mystery, man.
00:34:32Hello, Damon.
00:34:34Oh, no, you can't.
00:34:37What are you doing here?
00:34:38Well, um, my, uh, my aunt works here.
00:34:41Oh, really?
00:34:42What does she do?
00:34:43I don't know.
00:34:44I don't know.
00:34:45She's just in the back pushing papers all day.
00:34:48Shoot me if I have to do that.
00:34:52I'm sorry.
00:34:53Um, anyway, we, uh, I just stopped by to say hello.
00:34:57Okay.
00:34:58This place is huge.
00:35:00Hell, yeah.
00:35:02Um, we were just coming by to check and see if...
00:35:04About opening a new account for April.
00:35:07Don't you think it's about time she handled her own finances, Damon?
00:35:10Yeah, totally.
00:35:11Of course.
00:35:13Um, well, I, I gotta run.
00:35:15I'll stop texting you later.
00:35:17It's nice to meet you, ladies.
00:35:19Nice meeting you.
00:35:22Mom, did you have to be so weird?
00:35:25I don't like the smell of that guy.
00:35:26And I mean that, literally.
00:35:28I know.
00:35:29I told him to stop smoking.
00:35:30You're not smoking, are you?
00:35:32Mom, I'm just asking.
00:35:37Hi.
00:35:38I'm Dr. Meyer.
00:35:39I don't have an appointment or anything, but is it possible to get a quick word with Miss Hearns?
00:35:44Oh, I'm sorry.
00:35:45Miss Hearns is booked for the next few weeks.
00:35:47I'm so sorry.
00:35:51Listen, my husband was murdered last week, and Miss Hearns had an appointment with him
00:35:55the day before it happened.
00:35:57So pick up the phone and dial Keaton.
00:36:07Hi, Miss Hearns.
00:36:09Yes, Keaton.
00:36:10Front desk.
00:36:10Yes?
00:36:11I have Dr. Kathy Meyer here at reception.
00:36:14She's wondering if you might have a minute to speak with her.
00:36:17Listen closely, Keaton.
00:36:20If you still want to be employed by the end of the day, you will get Dr. Meyer out of my bank.
00:36:28Do you understand?
00:36:29Yes, yes, I understand.
00:36:31I'm afraid she's out to lunch.
00:36:35Would you like to leave a name and number or...
00:36:42Get that to her, or I'll be back tomorrow and I won't be as charming.
00:36:45Yes, ma'am.
00:36:46Fantastic.
00:36:52Ed.
00:36:52Call Ed Brock.
00:36:59Erica.
00:37:01We need to talk.
00:37:14Kathy, it's Mike.
00:37:17I just returned from Dubai, and I heard about David.
00:37:19Mike, I am so sorry.
00:37:24Will you call me when you get this, please?
00:37:26I need to talk to you.
00:37:39What the hell?
00:37:41He sucks.
00:37:43Interesting choice, Erica.
00:37:45Meeting on the roof now.
00:37:46You must be getting nervous since you don't want me seen in your bank.
00:37:49Why would I?
00:37:51Especially now that the Meyer family is visiting here.
00:37:54What do they know?
00:37:58You tell me, Ed.
00:38:00What really happened at David Meyer's house?
00:38:03Look, Erica.
00:38:04I did exactly what you paid me to do.
00:38:07You need to burn the Gallagher file and just be done with it.
00:38:10John, the only thing keeping any of us alive are those files.
00:38:13She's not messing around, David.
00:38:15Neither am I.
00:38:16What's the matter, John?
00:38:24You're not looking so good.
00:38:26David has the files, but he won't turn them over.
00:38:28I'm sorry.
00:38:30Okay.
00:38:31You should go home now, John.
00:38:33I'll be in touch.
00:38:34The files were gone, and so was the briefcase.
00:38:39I found nothing that could help us.
00:38:44So I waited for David to come home.
00:38:46Nice collection.
00:39:05Your books.
00:39:08I like your collection.
00:39:11Who the hell are you?
00:39:12I'll say this for you.
00:39:14You definitely know how to piss off the wrong people, Sid.
00:39:17He must have really hated you.
00:39:20Even with a gun to his head, he wouldn't give me the files.
00:39:26Have a drink.
00:39:28I'm 16 years sober.
00:39:31I know.
00:39:31Today's the day you fall off the wagon.
00:39:34Drink.
00:39:37Like you mean it.
00:39:38Can we just skip to the part where you ask me about the Gallagher file?
00:39:51Where is the Gallagher file?
00:39:52Not here.
00:39:54No kidding.
00:39:54I've been all through here.
00:39:56How are you going, though?
00:39:57Thanks for that.
00:39:59Makes this easier.
00:40:01Makes what easier?
00:40:03To hit the file, right?
00:40:05Want to save me some time and tell me where?
00:40:08Not particularly.
00:40:10All these books.
00:40:11Bet you're a good writer.
00:40:14I write legal briefs.
00:40:16Not fiction?
00:40:18Just legal briefs.
00:40:24What am I writing?
00:40:26Suicide note.
00:40:28Okay, look.
00:40:29You've done your whole scare tactic thing, all right?
00:40:31I'm scared.
00:40:33Scare tactic?
00:40:34You know, go to Erica and tell her message received.
00:40:39Right.
00:40:40Here's the thing.
00:40:42Message received mattered yesterday because yesterday I hadn't been called yet.
00:40:46When I get called, we're past scare tactics.
00:40:51Who are you?
00:40:53Insurance.
00:40:54Start writing.
00:40:56She'll never buy it.
00:40:58Who?
00:40:58Kathy?
00:41:03April?
00:41:05If you hurt them, relax, David.
00:41:09Whether or not I go after your family is entirely up to how cooperative you are here.
00:41:15You screwed up.
00:41:18The next time somebody hires you to make a hit, make sure that there's not an audio recording device.
00:41:25What?
00:41:26David Meyer?
00:41:27That's right, Ed.
00:41:29While you were busy congratulating yourself for finding David's hidden gun, you missed the damn audio recorder sitting on his desk in broad daylight.
00:41:43Yeah, I don't feel so good.
00:41:47At some point, he was able to hide it in the flower box because, according to Damon, the daughter found it.
00:41:56Mom!
00:41:56And if you don't get it back, Kathy and April Meyer will need to be dealt with.
00:42:05What's on the tape?
00:42:06Nothing yet.
00:42:07Apparently, the recorder is not working.
00:42:11April is trying to fix it.
00:42:13You're kidding.
00:42:14No, I'm not.
00:42:17I'm not going to have some teenage girl put us on death row.
00:42:20Don't worry, Erica.
00:42:22David Meyer's out-thought you.
00:42:24You had a gun to his head.
00:42:27And he was able to record the entire thing.
00:42:31You are such an idiot.
00:42:33Now find a way into that house and get that recorder before Kathy and April discovered the truth.
00:42:42I'll take care of all this.
00:42:43You keep saying that.
00:42:45Just find the damn files and the recorder.
00:42:49You've got two days, Ed.
00:42:51Two days.
00:42:52You've reached the voicemail of attorney John Rudson.
00:42:58Please leave a detailed message after the tone.
00:43:01John, I need you to deal with Kathy and get those files.
00:43:04I also need you to find a recording that she has.
00:43:06If you don't, I'll handle it myself, which means things will get messy.
00:43:09Hey, April.
00:43:15Can you look with that recording?
00:43:18Not yet.
00:43:19Mom's been working on it.
00:43:23I want to see you.
00:43:25I'm almost to your house.
00:43:28You're crazy.
00:43:29Give me 15 minutes.
00:43:30Hey, John.
00:43:37What's up?
00:43:39Hey, Kathy.
00:43:40I was just wondering if you wanted me to come by and stay the night on the couch.
00:43:43I know things have been pretty difficult for you.
00:43:46That's really nice of you, but I think that April and I just need some us time.
00:43:53Yeah, I understand.
00:43:55But if you need anything, I'm always here for you.
00:43:58Okay.
00:43:59Hey, one more thing.
00:44:01Sure.
00:44:02I'm looking for these files on a case for David, but I can't seem to find them in the office.
00:44:08Did he bring any files home with him?
00:44:10I don't even know what is at the house right now.
00:44:13My head is still reeling.
00:44:15Right, right.
00:44:16Of course.
00:44:17I'm sorry to bother you with this.
00:44:18The clients always need everything now, if you know what I mean.
00:44:21Yeah.
00:44:22The world keeps spinning, I guess.
00:44:25A little faster than I'd like.
00:44:28I'll take a look around, but no promises.
00:44:30It's okay.
00:44:31Okay.
00:44:32Thanks.
00:44:34Good night.
00:44:36Good night, John.
00:44:41Well, hi, honey.
00:44:42Hi, Mom.
00:44:45Do you want to sleep in my bed again tonight?
00:44:48No, thanks.
00:44:49I'm just going to finish up some homework and then go to bed.
00:44:54Okay.
00:44:54Yeah, I've got to call Mike back anyway.
00:44:57See you in the morning?
00:44:59Love you.
00:44:59Okay, we're good.
00:45:08Come to the front.
00:45:09Coast is clear.
00:45:10Cassie, my God, how are you?
00:45:25I'm doing as good as I can, I guess.
00:45:29It's good to talk to you, Mike.
00:45:31I still can't believe it.
00:45:33This is horrible.
00:45:35It still hasn't sunk in.
00:45:36Is there anything that you and April need?
00:45:40No.
00:45:41No.
00:45:42Thanks, Mike.
00:45:44Now, listen, Damon.
00:45:45I need you to find that recording and those files any way you can for me.
00:45:49Because if you can't, Ed will.
00:45:53And that's not going to end well for your little girlfriend and her mom.
00:45:57All right, we don't need that.
00:45:58Okay, I understand.
00:46:00Take this.
00:46:02It's just diazepam.
00:46:04It's just a little sleeping pill.
00:46:06It's fast acting and it'll give you a chance to look for those recordings in the files.
00:46:11Use it.
00:46:12No, no way I'm going to drug anyone, right?
00:46:14This is not a game, Damon.
00:46:16Damon, now you want to continue to live this comfortable life?
00:46:21Then you need to do this for me.
00:46:25Good.
00:46:28Text me when you're done.
00:46:30Come back and pick you up.
00:46:31Well, we're waiting for the FBI to finalize their investigation.
00:46:49Then we'll be sure to go ahead and see more.
00:46:51Wait.
00:46:51Yeah, we're here.
00:46:53Yeah, David was still organized.
00:46:55I've been in touch with the accountant and David set everything up to trigger automatically in case anything ever happened.
00:47:03Kathy, I need to come and see you.
00:47:06Is it okay if I come over in the morning?
00:47:09Yeah, sure.
00:47:11Is everything okay?
00:47:13I don't think I'll ever believe it.
00:47:17Neither will my mom.
00:47:18It's got to be hard.
00:47:27Hey.
00:47:29Your eyes are red from crying, babe.
00:47:31With some water.
00:47:33Yeah.
00:47:36Yeah.
00:47:37Some water.
00:47:45Stay with me a while.
00:47:46Yeah.
00:47:48Close your eyes.
00:47:49I'm not going anywhere.
00:47:56Have you noticed anything altered or anything missing from the house?
00:48:00No.
00:48:01No, not that I know of.
00:48:03Should I be worried?
00:48:05When I got back from the airport today,
00:48:07my house had been ransacked.
00:48:10What?
00:48:11Nothing was stolen.
00:48:12But the intruders like my filing cabinets
00:48:15more than they like my Rolexes.
00:48:17Do you think this has anything to do with David?
00:48:20Maybe.
00:48:21He was working on a big case for my company.
00:48:24It was against a group of powerful bankers.
00:48:27I mean, we're talking dirty money, bad loans.
00:48:32David told me that he'd gathered enough evidence
00:48:34so that the FBI could bring them down.
00:48:37Kathy, you and April need to be very careful.
00:48:39Don't let him know.
00:48:42No.
00:48:42No.
00:48:43Yeah.
00:48:50What?
00:48:51I don't have to be careful.
00:48:52Today's episode.
00:48:52I hope to be careful with you.
00:48:53But, I can do it ahead of you.
00:48:53Do you think I can do it?
00:48:54I hate to be careful.
00:48:54I know.
00:48:55Do you think I do it?
00:48:56You've got to be careful.
00:48:57Coho.
00:48:57Yeah.
00:48:58Do you think I can do it?
00:48:59Yeah.
00:48:59Do you think I can度 be careful?
00:49:00If you help me do it.
00:49:01I don't see anything on it.
00:49:02Do you think I know that I am good.
00:49:03Do you think I'm good?
00:49:04No.
00:49:05I don't know.
00:49:05I can't do it.
00:49:06You go.
00:50:07Come on, come on.
00:50:31Where is this briefcase?
00:52:03What did you give my daughter?
00:52:04What's in that glass?
00:52:06What did you give my daughter?
00:52:08Why?
00:52:09It was nothing.
00:52:10It's just a sleeping pill.
00:52:13What kind?
00:52:13What exactly did you give her?
00:52:16Diathopam.
00:52:16How much?
00:52:17Um, five milligrams, I'm cheating for the whole thing.
00:52:22What are you doing here?
00:52:24It wasn't my choice, that is.
00:52:27The recording, um, wasn't going.
00:52:31We're going, we're going to what?
00:52:34We're going to kill me?
00:52:35We're going to kill April?
00:52:37Who killed David?
00:52:39I didn't know it.
00:52:40I don't know.
00:52:41Who killed my husband?
00:52:44David, give me your name.
00:52:46Uh, I'm sad.
00:52:49Ed, Ed, Ed, Ed who?
00:52:52Ed, Ed, what's that year?
00:52:56Mom?
00:52:58April, just go back to your room.
00:53:00Damon!
00:53:00Shh, shh, shh, shh, come on, come on.
00:53:02Come on.
00:53:30Kathy!
00:53:35Hello, Mike.
00:53:36Kathy.
00:53:37Thank you for coming.
00:53:40I would take her myself, but I have to fill out a police report.
00:53:43You shouldn't be driving anyway.
00:53:45It's been a rough night for both of you.
00:53:47Hey, April.
00:53:49Hi, Uncle Mike.
00:53:51It'll be okay.
00:53:53Okay, so just take her to ER.
00:53:55Michelle's on duty, so she'll watch her until I get there.
00:53:58All right, I'll get her there.
00:53:59Hey, Mom.
00:54:02I'm really sorry.
00:54:03Yeah.
00:54:07Come on, April, I got you.
00:54:09Hold on.
00:54:11Watch your step.
00:54:14Good night, folks.
00:54:18So what do you think this is all about?
00:54:21I don't know.
00:54:22I thought he was a burglar.
00:54:24He came into my room.
00:54:27You had any idea what he was looking for?
00:54:28No idea.
00:54:30No, but before he passed out, he said the name Ed and Earring.
00:54:34Earring?
00:54:36Yeah.
00:54:37It's strange, right?
00:54:39Yeah.
00:54:40So you want to press charges?
00:54:41I should.
00:54:43Teach the little punk some decency.
00:54:48All right.
00:54:49I'll run some tests on the water, and we'll love our boys finish at the hospital.
00:54:52I'll bring him in for some questioning.
00:54:55Sure thing.
00:54:56Sure thing.
00:55:00Hey.
00:55:05How are you holding up?
00:55:09By a thread.
00:55:10Damon is actually my ride.
00:55:20Got to bounce.
00:55:22See you later, Dadio.
00:55:24Kiss on the cheek, at least.
00:55:25Next time.
00:55:27Good morning.
00:55:30Oh, I'm sorry.
00:55:31Did I wake you?
00:55:32No.
00:55:33I was up.
00:55:34I got to switch to a day schedule for the next few weeks.
00:55:37I made some coffee.
00:55:38Poor thing.
00:55:39You probably only got a little sleep.
00:55:41Nothing new.
00:55:43Thanks for staying last night.
00:55:45Of course.
00:55:46How's April doing?
00:55:47Mm.
00:55:48Oh, she was sleeping when I left her.
00:55:51Yeah, I get to pick her up in an hour, though.
00:55:53She's so upset about Damon.
00:55:55What a creep.
00:55:57Yeah.
00:55:58That's Mike.
00:56:07Hey, Mike.
00:56:08Hey.
00:56:09Thanks for coming.
00:56:11Oh.
00:56:13Thanks again for your help last night.
00:56:16Glad I was here.
00:56:17How's April?
00:56:19She's doing okay.
00:56:20Good.
00:56:21Hey, Mike.
00:56:22Hey, Michelle.
00:56:26Look, I was up all night last night.
00:56:29It's racking my brain, and with everything that's going on,
00:56:33I'm just hoping we can put our heads together on this.
00:56:35Yes, the police are moving so slowly.
00:56:37They still think this could be a suicide, so we would love your help.
00:56:41Gallagher file.
00:56:43Looks like Mike came through.
00:56:45Did you have a meeting scheduled with David?
00:56:49Yeah, like I mentioned before, I mean, he was working on that case for my company.
00:56:52So we met often.
00:56:54How often?
00:56:55Every Thursday at the La Brea Country Club.
00:56:58I mean, the locker room was like our second office.
00:57:01Why?
00:57:03Locker room.
00:57:04David left me a key.
00:57:09A key to his locker?
00:57:10We have no idea.
00:57:12Abed with Mike.
00:57:18Hey, Match.
00:57:19That's his locker key.
00:57:21His locker's right next to mine.
00:57:23Can you get us in there?
00:57:24Yeah.
00:57:31Hey, Dan.
00:57:32Hey.
00:57:33Give us a couple minutes.
00:57:33Mike, I need to know everything about this case.
00:57:59It's bad news, Kathy.
00:58:02I never should have asked David for his help.
00:58:05Hey, what's done is done.
00:58:07There are some very corrupt people involved in this.
00:58:12I mean, this whole thing was referred to the Attorney General for prosecution.
00:58:16And David did the work to uncover their crimes?
00:58:18Yeah.
00:58:20He put a complicated financial and legal puzzle together.
00:58:23I think they killed him for it.
00:58:28And now they're after you.
00:58:30It seems that way.
00:58:37David, please forgive me.
00:58:39This is all my fault.
00:58:42Hi, Mr. Hudson.
00:58:43Is everything okay?
00:58:46Yeah, fine, Jess.
00:58:47Thanks.
00:58:49Okay.
00:58:49Yeah, you have a call on 911.
00:58:53How you doing, John?
00:58:59I'm here, aren't I?
00:59:01You don't sound so good.
00:59:03I'm fine.
00:59:06You do know we need those files and that audio recording yesterday.
00:59:10Right?
00:59:11What can you tell me?
00:59:13I don't have them.
00:59:15I think we're going to need to have a conversation about your future.
00:59:19Do you understand what I'm saying?
00:59:21I'm glad to see you tonight.
00:59:26Kathy, I need to talk to you.
00:59:28But I've got to run home really quick, so I'll meet you at the hospital.
00:59:31Thanks, Mike.
00:59:33Sure.
00:59:39Yes.
00:59:40They're on the move.
00:59:41I think Kathy may have the files.
00:59:43Where are they headed?
00:59:44My guess is they're going to see April at the hospital.
00:59:47Okay.
00:59:47I'm on my way now.
00:59:48I'll meet you there soon.
00:59:49I have to clean up one more loose end.
00:59:51No more witnesses, Ed.
00:59:53Got it?
00:59:54Yeah.
00:59:55Got it.
00:59:56Got it.
00:59:56All right.
01:00:02Yeah.
01:00:03No.
01:00:15No.
01:00:16No.
01:00:16Oh, God.
01:00:17We're safe now.
01:00:19Oh, God.
01:00:19Oh, God.
01:00:21Oh.
01:00:21Oh, God.
01:00:22Oh, God.
01:00:25David?
01:00:53David?
01:00:55David, can you hear me?
01:00:59David?
01:01:00David, you need to wake up, please.
01:01:04Please wake up.
01:01:06David, I need answers.
01:01:10I thought you were real.
01:01:16I thought you were one of the good guests.
01:01:20He is a good guy, April.
01:01:22Sorry, I was just leaving.
01:01:29Wait.
01:01:31Do I know you?
01:01:33Miss Erica Hearns, president of Chardoff Bank.
01:01:35Would your father approve if he saw you here with Damon?
01:01:42So Damon worked for you the whole time?
01:01:44It's just a job.
01:01:46That's right.
01:01:48He wasn't in love with you.
01:01:51He was just doing his job.
01:01:53What job?
01:01:55You mean my dad?
01:01:59That's smart, girl.
01:02:02See, I knew you would figure it out.
01:02:08Unfortunately, you and your mother hurt my Damon.
01:02:13He's all I have.
01:02:16I get very angry when somebody hurts my nephew.
01:02:22Well, maybe you should have thought of that before you killed my father.
01:02:26Oh, you Myers.
01:02:27You don't know when to keep your mouth shut, do you?
01:02:31Come on.
01:02:32You're gonna take a little walk?
01:02:34Maybe call mommy, huh?
01:02:35I don't wanna go for a walk.
01:02:39I'm not asking.
01:02:40I'm not asking.
01:02:47This is Myers.
01:02:48So what have you found, detective?
01:02:50Turns out John Rudson's about to be disbarred for interfering in a Department of Justice investigation.
01:02:56I had heard, yes.
01:02:58Now this person's name might sound familiar.
01:03:01Miss Erica Hearns, CEO of Chardoff Bank.
01:03:06The one in David's appointment book.
01:03:08Exactly.
01:03:09Also turns out that Miss Hearns and John Rudson were doing a little bit more than just exchanging information.
01:03:13They were having an affair.
01:03:15What?
01:03:16That's when I was dating John.
01:03:18That's who he was having an affair with.
01:03:20Yeah, didn't he blame it on some business trip or something?
01:03:23He sure did.
01:03:24That liar.
01:03:26So, Kathy, I gotta ask.
01:03:28Do you think that John could have killed David?
01:03:31No.
01:03:32I mean, they were best friends in college, then partners.
01:03:37John has his issues, but no.
01:03:39No way.
01:03:40I see.
01:03:41Well, I also ran a background check on David Tyler.
01:03:44His parents were killed when he was ten years old.
01:03:46He's been living here for six months with his only surviving relative, Miss Erica Hearns.
01:03:53What the hell?
01:03:54Wait, so my daughter is dating the nephew of the CEO my husband was building a case against?
01:04:04Exactly.
01:04:05Yeah.
01:04:06Miss Meyer?
01:04:07You should be in your room.
01:04:09Ma'am?
01:04:10You would be?
01:04:11Oh, I'm her aunt.
01:04:12Kathy asked me to pick her up.
01:04:14Michael Brown, in three.

01:04:36Michael Brown, in three.
01:04:37Michael Brown, in three.
01:04:38Michael Brown, in three.
01:04:39Michael Brown, in three.
01:04:40Where are you taking me?
01:04:41Shut your mouth, behave, and you'll be just fine.
01:04:54I'll never get away with this.
01:04:57It's not like I haven't heard that one before.
01:04:59Her aunt checked her out?
01:05:01That's who she said she was.
01:05:03And April didn't say anything.
01:05:05She doesn't have an aunt.
01:05:06So I need you to call the police right away.
01:05:08I'm going to call Mike. He dropped her off. Maybe he knows something.
01:05:12And we need a guard outside of Damon Tyler's room.
01:05:15I need to know when he wakes up and who sees him.
01:05:17Yes, Dr. Lindstrom.
01:05:20You're doing great. Just keep up the good work and nobody gets hurt.
01:05:26What are you doing?
01:05:28She's insurance.
01:05:30No, she's a liability.
01:05:32Just go do your job. I've got this taken care of.
01:05:35There's only two ways a kidnapping goes.
01:05:37And I don't see them paying you ransom.
01:05:39You're the one that got us into this mess in the first place.
01:05:42You know I've got to get us out.
01:05:44Just stick to the plan.
01:05:51I'm trying Mike again.
01:05:52Maybe he's hurt from April.
01:05:53Mike's not answering.
01:06:11I'm going to call the detective.
01:06:14Oh, wait here. He's texting me.
01:06:17Oh, my God.
01:06:18What?
01:06:19Oh, my God.
01:06:20Send that to Jansen.
01:06:22Oh, my God.
01:06:23I think...
01:06:32Oh, my God.
01:06:35Oh.
01:06:37Damn it.
01:06:37I'm so sorry.
01:06:41I was in such a rush.
01:06:43Having a family emergency.
01:06:45That's all right.
01:06:47Perfect timing, actually.
01:06:48I'm sorry.
01:06:50Look, why don't we just exchange IDs and insurance and be on our way?
01:06:54I never carry them.
01:06:55They make my job more difficult.
01:06:57I just ran into your car, Mr...
01:07:00Ed Brock.
01:07:00Ed.
01:07:04Who killed David?
01:07:07Ed.
01:07:07What's that hearing?
01:07:13Seems like you don't care if I pay for damages, so...
01:07:15Just be on my way.
01:07:18Oh.
01:07:19On the contrary.
01:07:20You will definitely pay for the damage.
01:07:22All of it.
01:07:29Where's April?
01:07:30That depends.
01:07:31Do you have the files and the recording?
01:07:36You better hope she's not harmed.
01:07:40For what?
01:07:41You know I'm not some idiot kid like Damon.
01:07:44You cooperate.
01:07:46You'll never see April again.
01:07:49Not in the mean that we're gonna kill her, although you might wish we had.
01:07:51You've taken all you're gonna take from me.
01:07:55Is everybody all right here?
01:08:00Fine, officer.
01:08:02Do you need me to call the police?
01:08:06Oh.
01:08:07What do you think, Kathy?
01:08:10Do we want to involve the police?
01:08:13Sounds like that might make problems worse.
01:08:18No, no, we're fine.
01:08:19Got it all worked out.
01:08:21I'll call you for the win and the wear for the exchange.
01:08:28Understood?
01:08:29Yeah.
01:08:32Kathy.
01:08:34No cops.
01:08:37You'll never see April again.
01:08:38What just happened out there?
01:08:49That was no accident.
01:08:51I don't understand.
01:08:53Michelle.
01:08:54That was Ed Brock.
01:08:57He has April and I'm guessing he killed David.
01:09:00What?
01:09:00Oh, my God.
01:09:03Call Jansen.
01:09:06Can you believe this?
01:09:08I gotta take this.
01:09:09Go pop the dispatch.
01:09:11Kathy!
01:09:12Where did you get that picture of Mike Gallagher?
01:09:14I couldn't think.
01:09:15That was coming from Mike's phone.
01:09:17Someone texted it to us.
01:09:19Okay, I've already sent Eunice to his house.
01:09:21Do you have any idea who could have done this?
01:09:23It has something to do with a guy named Ed Brock.
01:09:27Detective, he has April.
01:09:29And he's not working alone.
01:09:31I think he and Erica are somehow connected.
01:09:33Okay, tell me what you know.
01:09:36We went to the hospital and April had been checked out by some woman posing as her aunt.
01:09:41Okay, I'll put an Amber Alert out for April.
01:09:43Ed Brock is probably an alien, but I'll run it through our database.
01:09:45Just to be safe, Kathy, Erica is a dangerous person.
01:09:48You are going to need our help.
01:09:50He said if I go to the police, I'll never see her again.
01:09:53They want the briefcase in exchange for April.
01:09:56Do not do anything on your own.
01:10:00So now you believe us?
01:10:01If I don't do this on my own, my daughter dies.
01:10:05Kathy, I need you to be careful.
01:10:08This is a dangerous situation and we will help you.
01:10:10Okay, look, I hear you.
01:10:12Okay.
01:10:13David's office is calling on the other line.
01:10:15We'll call you back.
01:10:17Kathy!
01:10:19Kathy!
01:10:20Damn it.
01:10:23Hello?
01:10:24Miss Meyer?
01:10:25It's Jess.
01:10:26No, no!
01:10:27I won't do that!
01:10:27I think Mr. Retta needs help.
01:10:28You're setting me up!
01:10:29He's been drinking all day.
01:10:30Something's seriously wrong.
01:10:31No, no, there has to be another way.
01:10:33You can't make me do that!
01:10:34The time has come and gone for negotiations, John.
01:10:38It's by my rules now.
01:10:40Ed Brock will come and pick you up at your office in five minutes.
01:10:44You will then guide Ed and Damon to your house where I will meet you there with April.
01:10:49You better make sure that Kathy does everything that I ask in this exchange or so help me, John.
01:10:55Some of you won't survive this.
01:10:57No, no, I'm not some tool, all right?
01:10:59This ends now, all right?
01:11:01No more!
01:11:06You need to leave, Jess.
01:11:08Do you?
01:11:09You need to get everyone out of here now.
01:11:11It sounds like he's completely unhinged.
01:11:13I mean it, Jess!
01:11:16It's all over now!
01:11:18Please, you're scaring me.
01:11:19Jess, what's going on?
01:11:21This all ends now!
01:11:23Go home!
01:11:24Get out!
01:11:24I said, get out!
01:11:25He just jumped out, but...
01:11:27I think he's got a gun.
01:11:28Jess, get out of there.
01:11:31Get everybody out of there.
01:11:33Yes, Miss Meyer.
01:11:34Do you think John is involved with all of this?
01:11:38I do.
01:11:39I say, what, we wait for Ed to call.
01:11:41We go to John's house.
01:11:44So, this is the room of Damon Tyler.
01:11:48Number 214.
01:11:50You need to...
01:11:51Where is he?
01:11:59I don't see John's car.
01:12:01Maybe he's not coming here.
01:12:04Hey, who's that?
01:12:12That's John in front seat.
01:12:15With Damon.
01:12:16And Ed Brock?
01:12:18Unbelievable.
01:12:19What is he doing?
01:12:20What is wrong with him?
01:12:23Cassie, I don't like this.
01:12:25We have to do something.
01:12:28I don't recognize this number.
01:12:32Hello?
01:12:33It's Ed.
01:12:35So, Ed, what are we doing?
01:12:40I trust you haven't talked to the police?
01:12:42I haven't.
01:12:44Do you have April?
01:12:45Yes, I'm keeping up my end of the bargain.
01:12:49Do you have the files and the tape?
01:12:52Yes.
01:12:53Good.
01:12:54You'll be going to John's house on Oak Lane.
01:12:56I trust you know the way.
01:13:00Give me ten minutes.
01:13:02All right.
01:13:03Come alone.
01:13:05If you want to see April,
01:13:07you could do exactly as I say.
01:13:13He's lying.
01:13:15They don't have April.
01:13:15Maybe Erica has brought her there already.
01:13:19I mean, she knows where John lives.
01:13:22Maybe.
01:13:24I'll sneak around the back and check.
01:13:26No, it's too dangerous.
01:13:28I'll be careful.
01:13:30Anyway, Ed cannot see me pulling up with you.
01:13:33Okay, but we can't call Jansen until we know that April is safe.
01:13:35I'm taking your medical bag.
01:13:40I have a few ideas.
01:13:42This can be handy.
01:13:43A scalpel isn't going to hold up against a bullet.
01:13:45I'm not going to do anything stupid.
01:13:47I'll call you and let you know what I see.
01:13:50Be careful.
01:14:01So where is she?
01:14:02She'll be here.
01:14:05Come on, April.
01:14:15Move it.
01:14:17Stop struggling.
01:14:19Let's go.
01:14:24Come on.
01:14:26Move it.
01:14:28This is Detective Jansen.
01:14:31Should we go?
01:14:33Wait there.
01:14:35April.
01:14:40Taman.
01:14:42I'm so glad that you got out of there.
01:14:45Are you okay?
01:14:46I was so worried about you.
01:14:48Why'd you have to take her?
01:14:50She's insurance.
01:14:52We need to get the documents and the recorder that her mom has.
01:14:55And then what?
01:14:58Then we leave all of this behind.
01:15:00I have a private plane that's going to get us out of here.
01:15:05Hey, we're going to have a fresh start.
01:15:06Get these off of her.
01:15:08Suddenly you care?
01:15:09She's right.
01:15:10This was never the plan.
01:15:11Nobody gets hurt.
01:15:12John!
01:15:12John!
01:15:15John!
01:15:15Poor John.
01:15:21She's here.
01:15:24Take her to the next room.
01:15:27And remember who you're working for, Damon.
01:15:29Why is she just sitting there?
01:15:40Yes?
01:15:41What are you doing, Kathy?
01:15:43How do you think this is going to go?
01:15:46Kathy?
01:15:48I need you to bring those files and the recordings into the house.
01:15:52Then we'll give you April and leave.
01:15:54Okay, so you think I'm just going to carry the only thing that's keeping my daughter alive in there and hand it over to you?
01:16:00Come on, Kathy.
01:16:02Have a little faith.
01:16:04You had my husband killed.
01:16:07The proof is on this tape.
01:16:08That tape is going to go away very soon.
01:16:11I admit nothing.
01:16:13And what about Mike Gallagher?
01:16:14Bring me the tape and the briefcase, Kathy.
01:16:18Where's April?
01:16:20She's with Ed.
01:16:21And you don't want to test his patience.
01:16:24Then let's do this.
01:16:26In front of the house where everyone can see.
01:16:28No guns, nice and civilized.
01:16:30Do you understand?
01:16:31I am quite civilized, Kathy.
01:16:36Let me discuss it with my partner.
01:16:43Let's make the exchange.
01:16:44She wants to do it in broad daylight.
01:16:46Thinks it's safer?
01:16:47Fine.
01:16:48I don't want to waste any more time.
01:16:50I'll take care of my aunt.
01:16:55You know I hate you, right?
01:16:56I can't blame you.
01:16:58But I swear I didn't know anyone was going to get hurt.
01:17:01I was supposed to spend time with a beautiful girl and then answer their questions about what we did and what we talked about.
01:17:07If you were a spy.
01:17:08When my aunt asks me to do work for her, I do it.
01:17:12Hey, she's the only family I got.
01:17:15She takes good care of me.
01:17:17So this time I'm just some kind of job to you?
01:17:19No.
01:17:21At first, but...
01:17:22I mean...
01:17:23Look, I get that you hate me.
01:17:28But April...
01:17:28I really do care about you.
01:17:34What's going on?
01:17:35Shut up.
01:17:36It's time.
01:17:37Get up.
01:17:38Get up!
01:17:40Ow!
01:17:40Ouch!
01:17:41You're hurting me.
01:17:42Hey!
01:17:43You don't handle her like that!
01:17:45Get in there!
01:17:46Oh my god!
01:17:47Don't overstep, kid.
01:17:55Please, hurry.
01:17:57Michelle, I'm on my way.
01:17:58Just don't do anything.
01:18:00Only if I don't have to, detective.
01:18:03Here we go.
01:18:0415 milligrams of proper fall.
01:18:06This should do it.
01:18:08I'm going to go to my car before we did the swap.
01:18:10You good?
01:18:11Go.
01:18:12I'll meet you at your place.
01:18:15Oh.
01:18:16And bring Damon.
01:18:17The girl's making him look like a fool.
01:18:20Whatever.
01:18:32I'm not here.
01:18:33I hate.
01:18:34I'm so...
01:18:35I'm not here.
01:18:36I'm ready for you.
01:18:37I'm ready for you.
01:18:42Just rest.
01:18:44We'll call back to you in a bit.
01:18:45You still there?
01:18:52I'm here.
01:18:53Okay.
01:18:54That's how it's going to go.
01:18:55I'm going to walk out with the girl.
01:18:58I'm going to meet in the middle.
01:19:01I'm going to make the trade.
01:19:03I'm getting out of the car right now.
01:19:05I'm coming, you jerk.
01:19:14Stop pushing me.
01:19:16Go.
01:19:22Ow!
01:19:22Get out of here.
01:19:27Get back inside.
01:19:29I don't think so, Ed.
01:19:30Just let it go.
01:19:31I'm telling you, Damon.
01:19:32Get back in the house.
01:19:34I'm going to make sure that everyone does what they're supposed to do and April is safe.
01:19:37Oh, now you're worried about it.
01:19:39You better remember who you work for, kid.
01:19:41Your aunt knows a lot of power.
01:19:43She was right about you.
01:19:44You aren't acting stupid.
01:19:47Kathy.
01:19:48Let's hold up.
01:19:49I forgot the recorder.
01:19:51I just have to get it.
01:19:52One minute.
01:19:54Something's wrong.
01:19:55It's happening.
01:19:56All right, just give her a minute.
01:19:58Well, something's wrong.
01:20:00Okay, then.
01:20:01Let's do this.
01:20:02All right.
01:20:03All right.
01:20:03All right.
01:20:03What's wrong?
01:20:07Keep it moving.
01:20:09I want Damon to bring April and take you the files.
01:20:12That wasn't the plan.
01:20:14I don't trust you.
01:20:15Come on, just do this one thing, then you can have your free ticket out of here.
01:20:19Okay.
01:20:19How about I shoot the two of you and just take the files myself?
01:20:23In broad daylight, in front of everybody?
01:20:25It's a big risk.
01:20:27Doesn't sound like the man who made my husband's murder look like a suicide.
01:20:32Damon, go get the files.
01:20:33I don't know if anyone else from her.
01:20:45Hurd, what's wrong?
01:20:46I was drugged.
01:20:48It's a setup.
01:20:49Okay.
01:20:50We're doing messy.
01:20:55Get down.
01:20:56Drop your weapon.
01:20:59Careful, detective.
01:21:02Put your gun down.
01:21:03I'm not going to ask you again.
01:21:10Don't shoot.
01:21:16Oh, my God.
01:21:18Kathy, April, you okay?
01:21:19You okay?
01:21:22Yeah.
01:21:23Let me see the wound.
01:21:25You saved my life.
01:21:26The bullet just got you, okay?
01:21:27I just keep pressure on it.
01:21:28Mom, he's leaving.
01:21:29You better take him to the hospital.
01:21:31Damon, just stay still.
01:21:33Don't move.
01:21:34It's going to be okay.
01:21:35I promise.
01:21:43Damon.
01:21:44He's dead.
01:21:44He's going to help you.
01:21:45Don't worry.
01:21:46It's okay.
01:21:46We just called an ambulance.
01:21:50Why did Erica shoot Ed?
01:21:53Because he was the key witness against her.
01:21:55Plus, she was protecting law enforcement.
01:21:57It's good for her case.
01:21:58There's all the evidence you'll need to bury her.
01:22:05Lucky kid.
01:22:06He's kept her alive.
01:22:09Oh, man, it hurts.
01:22:11Looks like boyfriend just took a bullet for us.
01:22:14Unexpected.
01:22:16I'm sorry about all this.
01:22:18This isn't who I am.
01:22:19Yeah, well, there's still a price to pay.
01:22:22My husband is gone.
01:22:23But I am grateful you saved April's life.
01:22:31I've seen that entitled up before.
01:22:34You think you're going to get off, don't you?
01:22:37You don't know anything.
01:22:39You're going to be caged for the rest of your life.
01:22:42I'm so sorry, Mom.
01:22:44I'm so glad you're okay.
01:22:45What's going to happen to Damon?
01:22:47That's for the police and the DA to decide.
01:22:49Here you go.
01:22:52Okay, I say they're pretty well done.
01:22:55Well, quite fitting the Brut Burger barbecue celebration.
