00:01:40Henry Ross teaching a cooking class.
00:01:43Those are some lucky students.
00:01:45Thanks, Tony.
00:01:50Hey, it's Maggie.
00:01:51I got your message.
00:01:52Um, the whole file should be, um, hold on.
00:01:58The whole file is just sitting on my desk.
00:02:01With detectives, Bailey, I'm sure we can locate a file.
00:02:07I gotta call you back.
00:02:11Henry!
00:02:12Hey, there you are.
00:02:13There you go.
00:02:14The cream for the creme brulees and the good vanilla extract that you like.
00:02:17Thank you, Lucy.
00:02:18Oh, this is your suit for the gala tomorrow night.
00:02:20Make sure we get some great pictures of you walking in for the vlog.
00:02:23We also got an offer from a casino in Vegas to consult on a medieval peanut dinner.
00:02:27How many guests?
00:02:28Four to five hundred.
00:02:30A couple days poolside in Vegas.
00:02:32If they throw in the penthouse suite, I'm in.
00:02:35I thought you might say that.
00:02:38Hey, guys.
00:02:41I'm home.
00:02:42Hey, Mom.
00:02:43Hi, honey.
00:02:45How's school?
00:02:47It was good.
00:02:48Good?
00:02:49I am running late.
00:02:52I guess it's gonna be spaghetti again.
00:02:54Sorry.
00:02:54I'll get dinner.
00:02:55You start getting ready for your date.
00:02:57Are you sure?
00:02:58Awesome.
00:02:59Thanks, Mom.
00:03:00I literally have 20 minutes to make this happen.
00:03:02Well, make yourself beautiful.
00:03:04Like you are.
00:03:06Oh, and Peter Duquette called.
00:03:08He wants to meet tomorrow at noon down by the wharf.
00:03:11Strange.
00:03:12Can you say what it's about?
00:03:14He wouldn't tell me, but he sounded really upset.
00:03:17He did, huh?
00:03:20Well, tell him yes.
00:03:21Of course I'll meet.
00:03:22All right, let's hurry back.
00:03:23I'm gonna start prepping for tonight.
00:03:33Okay, what do you think?
00:03:35Too, uh, job interviewee or...
00:03:37What about your red dress?
00:03:39I hung it on your mirror.
00:03:40Yeah, that was subtle, Mom.
00:03:42I don't think this guy is, like, a red dress kind of guy.
00:03:44Then why are you going on a second date with him?
00:03:47Because I don't have a lot of practice at this,
00:03:50and I don't know, it's polite to give a guy a second chance.
00:03:54Maybe we'll magically find something in common.
00:03:56Oh, I wish I was staying home and eating with you guys.
00:03:59We will save you some.
00:04:00Go, kick up your heels.
00:04:02Why aren't you wearing heels?
00:04:04Yes, I hate heels.
00:04:05You know that.
00:04:05They hurt my feet.
00:04:06Your mother is a lost cause.
00:04:08I heard that.
00:04:29Let me help you get a jacket here.
00:04:31Oh, my God.
00:04:32So, just give me a second.
00:04:34Can I help you?
00:04:35Okay, let's get started.
00:04:36Now, I'm very excited for this evening's guest teacher.
00:04:41You know him from his hugely popular blog, The Gourmet Detective.
00:04:45I'm thrilled to welcome to Mike's Chopping Block Kitchen tonight,
00:04:49The Gourmet Detective himself, my good friend, Henry Rawls.
00:04:54Cheers, man.
00:04:55Thanks.
00:04:55Thank you, sir.
00:04:59Excuse me.
00:05:00What is a gourmet detective exactly?
00:05:06Well, let's say you're a billion-dollar company,
00:05:10and a drought halfway across the world jeopardizes the key ingredient
00:05:13in your number one selling food line.
00:05:16Millions of dollars are at stake.
00:05:18Now, if someone could provide the key substitute ingredient
00:05:22that no one could tell was different,
00:05:24true story, by the way,
00:05:26you might not only call him a detective,
00:05:29you'd probably call him a pretty good one.
00:05:35But you're still not dealing with actual dead bodies,
00:05:38just to be clear.
00:05:39No offense.
00:05:41Not so far.
00:05:44Now, who here loves to cook?
00:05:49Let's get started.
00:06:04Maggie!
00:06:06Bernie!
00:06:06Sorry, sorry, sorry, sorry, sorry, sorry.
00:06:09Can't turn your back while you're cooking.
00:06:11One of the many conveniences of the microwave.
00:06:14Don't worry, you two.
00:06:15It happens.
00:06:16That's why I always make extra.
00:06:19Thank goodness.
00:06:20I am starving.
00:06:23Wow.
00:06:26The salt from turkey makes all the difference in the world.
00:06:29Doesn't it?
00:06:30This is delicious, okay?
00:06:32But let's be real.
00:06:33I barely have time to get dinner on the table,
00:06:35much less be running around the city looking for Turkish salt.
00:06:37Fair enough.
00:06:38If you're stressed for time, you can't do it all.
00:06:40But that's why paying attention to the little things,
00:06:43like the temperature on your burner, is so critical.
00:06:46The more alert you are in the kitchen,
00:06:47the more alert you may be in real life.
00:06:50Okay.
00:06:51Is this the time when you tell us about your incredible observational powers
00:06:55and how they save Starbucks from moving under?
00:07:02Right.
00:07:12You, sir.
00:07:15You bought that jacket at a thrift store, didn't you?
00:07:18It's a 42 regular.
00:07:19You're clearly a 44 long.
00:07:20And the shoulder has been faded by the sun,
00:07:22weren't hung in the store window for too long.
00:07:23But it's Hugo Boss.
00:07:24You figured, hey, why not?
00:07:25Who's going to notice?
00:07:28You, ma'am, you have two cats.
00:07:31One a calico, the other a Persian.
00:07:33And judging from the traces of hair on your right sleeve,
00:07:36you're also right-handed, and you use that hand
00:07:39to pet them while you're watching TV on the couch.
00:07:42He's right.
00:07:43How about us?
00:07:47I, uh, generally don't like commenting on couples.
00:07:52Go on.
00:07:57I'm just not sure she's over the divorce here.
00:08:00How do you know that I'm divorced?
00:08:02You keep rubbing your ring finger.
00:08:06And judging by the homemade, yet slightly complicated bracelet,
00:08:10you have a young girl at home.
00:08:11I'm guessing maybe 12 or 13.
00:08:14I bet she's openly supportive of you dating again,
00:08:16but secretly loves having you all to herself.
00:08:21Am I in the ballpark?
00:08:22Am I in the ballpark?
00:08:25Am I in the ballpark?
00:08:53Hi. Still up?
00:08:56Yeah, I couldn't sleep.
00:08:59So, how was it?
00:09:04Well, we parted as friends.
00:09:08Truthfully, I don't think I'm going to be going on any more dates anytime soon.
00:09:11Oh. Well, I just want to let you know that I'm okay with it if you do.
00:09:18Are you sure?
00:09:20It's been over a year since you and Dad...
00:09:25You know, Grandma says it's good for you to get out there and have some fun,
00:09:28and I just want you to know that I'm okay with the idea.
00:09:33Come here.
00:09:39You know you're the most important thing in my life, Abby.
00:09:42Yeah, I know.
00:09:44Try to get some sleep, okay?
00:09:48Good night.
00:09:54Mom?
00:09:55Yes?
00:09:56Do you think Dad will be able to come to my chess tournament?
00:10:00I know he really wants to be there, and I know he's going to try.
00:10:05It's just...
00:10:05Yeah, I know. Work might get in the way.
00:10:12I love you.
00:10:27Oh, I'm looking forward to this.
00:10:29These are the best fish tacos in town.
00:10:33Pauline, your uncle and I, we've been coming here for 20 years.
00:10:35That's how good these tacos are.
00:10:42So, why don't you fill me in on what's going on?
00:10:45What's with all the mystery?
00:10:46Someone is sabotaging my restaurant.
00:10:50What do you mean by sabotage?
00:10:52Shipments have been diverted.
00:10:53Always vital ingredients for specific popular dishes.
00:10:56The labels on spices have been swapped.
00:10:59Rats were found in my pantry on the morning of a visit from a food inspector.
00:11:02And you of all people know I keep a clean kitchen.
00:11:04That's not all.
00:11:06The other night, they stabbed a picture of us with a knife.
00:11:09Left us some kind of message.
00:11:11I'm worried about our safety, but I can't go to the police.
00:11:14Because if they're involved, the public might hear about the rats and the cockroaches.
00:11:18So, how can I help?
00:11:19You are going to the gala today.
00:11:21Yes, of course.
00:11:22And this is a huge night for us.
00:11:24It would be a public nightmare if anything were to happen.
00:11:30That's why we want to hire you.
00:11:32To look into what's been happening at Chez Duquette.
00:11:35Hire me?
00:11:36Peter, I'm not a private investigator.
00:11:39You know the restaurant business inside and out.
00:11:41Mine specifically.
00:11:43And you know every major player in the city.
00:11:44And because of our relationship, no one will suspect anything if you're seen hanging around watching what happens at the
00:11:50restaurant.
00:11:52Please.
00:11:55I don't know who else I can turn to.
00:12:22Pauline.
00:12:23Everything running smoothly?
00:12:25So far so good.
00:12:26All deliveries arrived correctly.
00:12:27And the kitchen seems to be running out of time.
00:12:30I'll take you back.
00:12:32All right.
00:12:38Raymond Bishop is here.
00:12:40You know, after all these years, your uncle has still never told me what their feud is about.
00:12:44I know, but what can we do?
00:12:46Raymond owns Fillmore Bistro and is part of the association, so he automatically gets an invitation.
00:12:58Service, please!
00:13:02Klaus, can I speak to you for a minute?
00:13:04Henry, good to see you.
00:13:06You too, Klaus.
00:13:08Henry's gonna be helping us with their problems.
00:13:10Thank God for that. I can't be everywhere at once, catching every slip.
00:13:14Well, I will leave you two to it.
00:13:16All right.
00:13:16I gotta go back out for him.
00:13:24Pauline, how's everything going this evening?
00:13:26So far so good.
00:13:27Sally, have you met Leighton Leopold? He's the chef at Fillmore Bistro.
00:13:31I don't believe I have.
00:13:33You're the cookbook author that says eating out is a complete waste of time and money, right?
00:13:39Oh, well...
00:13:40Why don't you come by the restaurant? I'll prepare you something that will make you eat your words.
00:13:45Sounds like a challenge.
00:13:47It is.
00:13:50Okay.
00:13:52See you at dinner.
00:13:56Oh.
00:14:02No.
00:14:03Steak should never be paired with lobster.
00:14:05The only reason that it is is so that restaurants can use the term Serpinter.
00:14:10Oh, Americans love catchy titles.
00:14:13Well, you should know about catchy titles, Sally.
00:14:15Ooh.
00:14:17Ooh.
00:14:19Now, look at that.
00:14:20This, Sally, is why you eat out.
00:14:23This is the kind of thing that we need to have on our menu, Raymond.
00:14:26If you would just listen to me, we can make bold choices like this without alienating our customers.
00:14:32Or you could go buy your own restaurant and cook whatever you like.
00:14:35But for the meantime, I pay you to cook my menu.
00:14:42Wow.
00:14:42Wow.
00:14:44Wow, look at this.
00:14:46So this is the Lamprey Bortelais.
00:14:49It's very bold of Klaus to serve Lamprey with this crowd.
00:14:53What do you think, Oliver?
00:14:54It's good.
00:14:55Klaus is smart to have the wine accompany the sauce and not the eel.
00:15:00Bet you'd never cook Lamprey on your show.
00:15:03How is everything?
00:15:05Fantastic, Pauline.
00:15:07Well done.
00:15:07Good, I'm glad.
00:15:08I hope the eel isn't too adventurous for you, Raymond.
00:15:10I know you like to keep things basic at the bistro.
00:15:13Ooh, not at all, Pauline.
00:15:15No, no, I understand.
00:15:16Your uncle needs to distract his clientele with flash.
00:15:19Okay, here it goes, here it goes.
00:15:20All right, all right, you two.
00:15:22Let's just enjoy the meal.
00:15:23You both own wonderful restaurants.
00:15:25And the good news is the city is big enough for both your egos.
00:15:29Let's toast to big egos.
00:15:31All right, here, here.
00:15:32Cheers.
00:15:35Here, here, here.
00:15:39Wait, wait!
00:15:42Okay, go.
00:16:01Excuse me, everyone.
00:16:04I have your attention.
00:16:07My name is Ian Jenkins.
00:16:09I'm sure many of you are familiar with my investigative news show.
00:16:15What is this about?
00:16:17I have no idea.
00:16:19I've been working on an investigation for several weeks now.
00:16:23What I'm about to reveal to you will shock many of you in this room.
00:16:30Tonight, I've put it together.
00:16:33I finally have the proof.
00:16:38I can prove it.
00:16:41I can prove it.
00:16:45I can prove it.
00:16:46I'm not going to be looking for it.
00:16:49I'm so excited.
00:16:53I'm so excited!
00:16:59I'm so excited!
00:17:01Go out.
00:17:03I'm so excited!
00:17:11Go!
00:17:12Go out!
00:17:13Go out!
00:17:16Let's go!
00:17:21Oh, it's absolutely terrifying.
00:17:24The deceased's name is Ian Jenkin, 44.
00:17:26He's an investigative reporter for Channel 7 News.
00:17:29The one who took down the deputy mayor last year?
00:17:31That's the one.
00:17:33Do you have a cause of death?
00:17:35Well, it isn't clear.
00:17:36Although, if you notice the blueish tinge around his mouth,
00:17:39it could be indicative of any number of conditions.
00:17:42Viral infection, heart attack, pulmonary embolism,
00:17:45any prescription bottles in his pockets
00:17:47to suggest a medical condition?
00:17:48Yeah, nothing in his pockets.
00:17:50Check it myself.
00:17:52Witnesses say that Mr. Jenkin was giving a speech
00:17:54when he became disoriented and collapsed.
00:17:56There wasn't any sign of chest pain.
00:17:58He just hit the floor.
00:18:01Could it be food poisoning?
00:18:02Could be.
00:18:03If it is, it's one of the most severe cases I have ever seen.
00:18:06Okay, well, until you give us the toxicology results,
00:18:08we better treat this like a suspicious death.
00:18:13I can't believe he's dead.
00:18:16Are you all right?
00:18:17Can I get you anything?
00:18:18Excuse me, are you Mr. Roth?
00:18:22You.
00:18:24I know you.
00:18:25You're the woman from the...
00:18:26Detective Maggie Price.
00:18:29Detective?
00:18:30Mm-hmm.
00:18:31Ah, now it's all coming together.
00:18:34I mean, it's a curious thing.
00:18:35Spare me the long version.
00:18:36All I want to know is one thing.
00:18:38Were you a witness to what happened?
00:18:40Well, yes, I was.
00:18:41Because I...
00:18:42Hmm.
00:18:47Hmm.
00:18:49That may be the worst cup of coffee I've ever tasted in my life.
00:18:53Oh, could we get you a latte instead?
00:18:55Oh, would you?
00:18:56No.
00:18:57Did you know Mr. Jinkin personally?
00:19:01No, I didn't.
00:19:02Do you know anyone that would want to harm Jinkin?
00:19:06I take it from this line of questioning you're not thinking it's a matter of a simple fish allergy.
00:19:11Well, until we get the toxicology results in, we're not ruling anything out.
00:19:15Well, obviously it wasn't an allergic reaction.
00:19:18And is that based on your super detective powers, Mr. Roth?
00:19:21Uh, no.
00:19:22Just common sense.
00:19:25Look.
00:19:25Number one.
00:19:26Mr. Jinkin didn't exhibit any classic choking signs of anaphylaxis associated with severe allergic reactions.
00:19:32And number two.
00:19:33If Mr. Jinkin were allergic to fish, he probably wouldn't be eating the eel in the first place, now would
00:19:37he?
00:19:38Eel's a fish.
00:19:41That makes sense.
00:19:43Now, what most people don't understand...
00:19:47Who is this guy again?
00:19:48Henry Ross.
00:19:49He's some kind of fruit specialist.
00:19:52What does that mean?
00:19:53Here's a copy of his bio I got from his website.
00:19:55You'll notice he started his career 25 years ago.
00:19:58It's Chez Duquette.
00:20:00Oh.
00:20:02Interesting coincidence.
00:20:04Apparently, he was quite a chef.
00:20:06Now, he's a consultant and works with everybody from small restaurants to large international food conglomerates.
00:20:12Sounds like if you have a problem in the food world, Henry Ross is your guy.
00:20:17Listen, what you should be concerning yourself with is the lamprey.
00:20:21That is an extremely dangerous dish to be certain.
00:20:24King Henry I died from eating too much of it.
00:20:26At least that's the official story.
00:20:28I believe it was from improper handling.
00:20:30But if lamprey is not prepared correctly in all of the natural toxin removed,
00:20:33that is a fish that kills quickly and quietly.
00:20:37Quickly and quietly, huh?
00:20:39Well, that sounds like the perfect weapon in the right hands.
00:20:44How long have you been working for Raymond Bishop at Fillmore Bistro?
00:20:47Seven or eight years.
00:20:48Well, can you tell me about his relationship with Peter Duquette?
00:20:51They can't stand each other.
00:20:52The thing is with Raymond is that he won't listen to anybody.
00:20:54He's terrified of change.
00:20:56He's probably threatened by Peter because Peter keeps Chez Duquette relevant by trying new things.
00:21:00Mr. Bishop, is it true that your restaurant, Fillmore Bistro, has been experiencing some strange mishaps?
00:21:06Things that, if not caught in time, could perhaps damage your business?
00:21:09Yes, that's true. How did you know?
00:21:11Is it also true that you and Peter Duquette have a strong public dislike for one another?
00:21:15I hope the eel isn't too adventurous for you, Raymond.
00:21:17I know you like to keep things basic at the bistro.
00:21:21We have a healthy, competitive rivalry. That's all.
00:21:25I understand. If not properly prepared, lamprey can kill.
00:21:29Seems like a pretty risky meal to serve to 50 people.
00:21:32I assure you, the lamprey was safe.
00:21:33I oversaw every step.
00:21:35From ordering, delivery, and preparation, no one had access to the eel except for me.
00:21:39So you're saying if anyone tampered with the lamprey, it had to be you?
00:21:43Why would I do that?
00:21:44I've spent 20 years building my career as a chef.
00:21:47This is going to ruin me. Why would I destroy my own career?
00:21:52Did you know the victim?
00:21:54No. I mean, on TV.
00:21:56Yeah, like everyone else.
00:21:58Do you think he might have had any enemies?
00:22:01The guy made a living investigating people. I'm sure he had a list of enemies.
00:22:06What about this Henry Ross guy?
00:22:08Do you know him?
00:22:09Sure. He was on my cooking show.
00:22:11Why?
00:22:11Of course I know Henry.
00:22:13Every owner in the city knows Henry.
00:22:16I've known him for years. Why?
00:22:18Henry always had a thing for me.
00:22:26You call yourself the gourmet detective?
00:22:31Not this conversation again.
00:22:32Um, I didn't come up with it. Someone else did, and it just sort of stuck.
00:22:37Huh.
00:22:39Mr. Ross, I am very interested in you.
00:22:43Maybe you want to explain to us why the one name that keeps coming up is yours.
00:22:47People like me?
00:22:48Assuming for a minute that the deceased was poisoned, whoever did this would need to understand the intricacies of preparing
00:22:53and serving eel.
00:22:54They would need to understand lamprey poisoning.
00:22:57Did you know that lamprey killed King Henry I?
00:22:59Apparently.
00:23:01Wait a minute. Am I a suspect here?
00:23:04Until we understand exactly what we're dealing with here, all I know is that there is one common denominator in
00:23:10all of this.
00:23:11And that's you.
00:23:16Okay, I think I'd like to talk to my lawyer.
00:23:19Oh, sure. Lawyer up. Nothing suspicious about that.
00:23:23Price, relax.
00:23:25No, I've got your bio, Mr. Ross.
00:23:29And I don't see a motive for you, yet.
00:23:33But I do think that you could be very useful to us.
00:23:37Especially given your long-standing history with Mr. Duquette and his restaurant.
00:23:42I would like you to consult on this case.
00:23:45Wait, what?
00:23:46I spoke with Mr. Jenkins, station manager.
00:23:49He was working on some kind of a food industry expose, but nobody knew the details.
00:23:53Now, that dinner had every major player in the San Francisco food scene.
00:23:56And if I was a vetting woman, I'd say that the target of Jenkins' investigation was in that room and
00:24:02knew that he was onto them.
00:24:03If this turns out to be a murder investigation, I want you and Price working as a team.
00:24:08You have invaluable insight and context into this industry that we simply don't have.
00:24:13Okay, Captain, that is so not necessary.
00:24:15We have more than enough resources.
00:24:16We do not need to include, um...
00:24:20Henry.
00:24:22Whatever.
00:24:22Uh, can we please just think about this?
00:24:24Ah, see, now fortunately for you, I already have.
00:24:26End of discussion.
00:24:28Okay, look, I am really flattered by all of this, but I, uh...
00:24:33I do have a rather substantial daily fee, so...
00:24:36Let's consider your payment staying off my suspect list for now.
00:24:39Done.
00:24:39Good.
00:24:40Okay.
00:24:41Be here in the morning, and Maggie can start walking you through what we know.
00:24:43Captain, this is not a great idea, okay?
00:24:45I am more than capable of doing this by myself without ragging him off.
00:24:50Duly noted.
00:24:51I will see you in the morning, Price.
00:24:53With Mr. Ross.
00:25:13Good morning.
00:25:15Morning.
00:25:15Just jotted down a couple of ideas for the blog for you to research.
00:25:19Are you excited for your first day as a real detective?
00:25:21Ah, you have no idea.
00:25:24What's in there?
00:25:26Just a little treat for everyone down at the station.
00:25:29Well, have a good first day.
00:25:31Play nice with the other detectives.
00:25:34Wish me luck.
00:25:45All right.
00:25:48Toxicology is in.
00:25:50I think I'm going to take Mr. Ross on a little trip to the morgue with me.
00:25:54Whoa, Price.
00:25:55You're going to scare the poor man off on his first date?
00:26:00Well, he's already 20 minutes late, so maybe he'll be a no-show.
00:26:04Good morning, everyone.
00:26:06Sorry I'm late.
00:26:08I was busy making you some decent coffee.
00:26:11Detectives, may I interest you in some monkey parchment?
00:26:15Monkey what?
00:26:16Monkey who?
00:26:17Only the best coffee on the planet.
00:26:20I always find that porcelain makes things taste a little better.
00:26:24Here you are.
00:26:28I love this moment.
00:26:30When someone realizes for the first time they've been drinking dishwater all their life and calling it coffee.
00:26:36Well.
00:26:37Wow.
00:26:38All right.
00:26:39Oh, man, this is good.
00:26:40$300 a pound good.
00:26:42Are you kidding me?
00:26:44What is in this?
00:26:45This is considered the sweetest, most complex Indian Arabica coffee ever produced.
00:26:50The beans have been chewed on and spat out by rhesus monkeys from the jungles of India.
00:26:58I don't care what's in it.
00:26:59It's delicious.
00:27:00All right, boys.
00:27:01Well, you enjoy that monkey spit.
00:27:03I don't do it.
00:27:04You, let's go.
00:27:06Tell me that is not your breakfast.
00:27:08Thanks for the coffee.
00:27:09It's great.
00:27:09My pleasure.
00:27:10Next time I will bring you kopi luwak.
00:27:12You definitely don't want to know where those beans came from.
00:27:14Let's go.
00:27:16You ever been to a morgue, Mr. Ross?
00:27:19Uh, all right, about that.
00:27:24If you're going to pass out, you should probably sit down, Henry.
00:27:28I'm fine.
00:27:29Really?
00:27:30Because you look paler than a victim.
00:27:32You're enjoying this, aren't you?
00:27:33Watching you squirm?
00:27:34Mm-hmm.
00:27:35Yeah.
00:27:36A little bit.
00:27:38Okay.
00:27:39Well, if you two are, uh, finished.
00:27:43Mr. Jenkin died from poisoning by TTB.
00:27:47Otherwise known as Tintillinum botulinum.
00:27:50One of the cousins of the botulism family.
00:27:53I thought the botulism only comes from spoiled food.
00:27:56No.
00:27:56It can occur in fish and vegetables, too.
00:27:59Even at room temperature, spores germinate into an active bacteria, which produce a nerve
00:28:03toxin, which usually kills.
00:28:04Cooking temperatures don't destroy it, not even boiling water, and it can kill in an hour
00:28:08or less.
00:28:10What?
00:28:13So, this TTB was in the lamprey?
00:28:15Yes, and, uh, Mr. Jenkin's bacteria measurement was 3.5.
00:28:20Now, anything over 1.2 is fatal.
00:28:22That is an enormous amount of TTB to ingest in one sitting.
00:28:25Yeah.
00:28:26Is it even possible for him to have consumed that much of the toxin from his meal alone?
00:28:30In a word?
00:28:32No.
00:28:47Can you please leave my trash alone?
00:28:52You know, your body is a temple, but you treat yours like a dumpster.
00:28:57I mean, don't get me wrong, you look great on the outside, but seriously.
00:29:00Um, we're not buddies.
00:29:01You know that, right?
00:29:02So, what I eat, what's in my car, and especially what my body looks like, that is none of your
00:29:06business.
00:29:07So, if you have something that you want to say about the case, that's great.
00:29:10Otherwise, keep your promise to yourself.
00:29:12You know, all I'm saying is maybe if you tried eating more real food, you'd stop tricking
00:29:17your body into thinking that this processed garbage actually tastes good.
00:29:21Yeah, well, that's where you're wrong, because it does taste good.
00:29:24No.
00:29:25You've dulled your taste buds into thinking it does, because they're so drugged on sugar,
00:29:29salt, nitrates, and preservatives, that they've lost the ability to pick out the full spectrum
00:29:34of flavor available to you in real foods.
00:29:36The subtleties, the nuances.
00:29:38I mean, you feel like a person at the symphony wearing earplugs.
00:29:40Look, I love the idea of preparing locally grown organic gourmet masterpieces every night.
00:29:45Who doesn't?
00:29:46But I live in the real world, and that means that I usually have about 12 and a half minutes
00:29:50to prepare dinner and 10 minutes to eat it before my daughter has to run off and do her
00:29:54homework, and I have to hit the computer to finish the work that didn't get done at the
00:29:57office because I had to leave early to go home and make dinner.
00:29:59So, spare me your enlightened foodie speeches, because that is the last thing that I need
00:30:05to hear from some bachelor who has all the time in the world to just go meandering around
00:30:09Pacific Heights looking for Turkish salt.
00:30:16What makes you think I'm a bachelor?
00:30:19Lucky guess.
00:30:22Now, how about we just keep the conversation about the case, okay?
00:30:26Fine.
00:30:27Sounds good.
00:30:28Great.
00:30:34How long have you been divorced?
00:30:35This is Bailey.
00:30:36Hey, Bailey, it's me.
00:30:38The victim had enormous levels of TTB in his system.
00:30:41We're definitely looking at a homicide.
00:30:43A planned murder made to look like an accident of food poisoning?
00:30:45Yep, the killer was using a poisonous fish to cover the poison.
00:30:48I think we can assume that Klaus' preparation for the lamprey eel was safe and toxin-free.
00:30:53I mean, why would he jeopardize his own career like that?
00:30:55No.
00:30:56The killer cultivated the TTB from a second separate order of lamprey and then somehow injected
00:31:02the poison into Ian's meal without anyone noticing.
00:31:04All right, Bailey, why don't you talk to the lamprey distributor who sold the restaurant
00:31:07the eel and see what you can find out?
00:31:09Got it.
00:31:09How are we doing on the restaurant surveillance footage?
00:31:11Nothing there.
00:31:13Someone cut the wire several days ago.
00:31:14All right.
00:31:15Did we run background checks on the kitchen staff?
00:31:17Everyone came in clear.
00:31:18All right.
00:31:18Can you run it again?
00:31:19Just somebody must have seen something.
00:31:21Okay.
00:31:21Got it.
00:31:21What about the flash drive?
00:31:23What was on that?
00:31:24What flash drive?
00:31:26I saw Oliver Page, you know, the chef on TV, give Ian Jenkins a blue flash drive right
00:31:32before the dinner.
00:31:33And you're just mentioning this now?
00:31:36I can't think of everything.
00:31:38But you can take ten minutes to lecture me on my breakfast burrito.
00:31:41Okay, I'll check for a flash drive in the woods.
00:31:43Thank you, Bailey.
00:31:44I'll call you back.
00:31:47Anything else you care to mention?
00:31:49Like, I don't know, maybe you saw somebody poison Jenkins' meal?
00:31:52No.
00:31:52It's just like what I told you.
00:31:54Ian was about to tell everybody in that room about something he had just discovered.
00:31:58Well, forensics is already sweeping his house, so hopefully we'll find out what he was working
00:32:02on when we get to his office.
00:32:03All right.
00:32:04Good plan.
00:32:05I'm so glad you think so.
00:32:10How long have you worked with Ian Jenkins?
00:32:12Worked with?
00:32:14That's a stretch.
00:32:15Ian kept to himself, but I've known him almost ten years since I started working here at the
00:32:19station.
00:32:20Did Mr. Jenkins have any enemies at work?
00:32:22Anybody who disliked him?
00:32:23This is a competitive business, and Ian stepped on more than a few toes to get where he was.
00:32:27But I don't think he ticked off anyone enough that they'd want to see him dead.
00:32:34That's right, please.
00:32:39Here's his office.
00:32:42He was rarely here.
00:32:42Always on the road.
00:32:44I understand Mr. Jenkins was looking into a story on the food industry before he died.
00:32:50Apparently so.
00:32:52And you know as much as I do.
00:32:54Ian produced his own segments.
00:32:56I only ever got involved in what he was doing if there were any legal issues that our station
00:32:59lawyers needed to go over first.
00:33:01Other than that, it was kind of a one-man show.
00:33:05$12, $9.30, $350, A.S.
00:33:10Does any of this mean anything to you?
00:33:12No.
00:33:13I don't think so.
00:33:15I mean, I know these restaurants, of course, but I didn't know he was investigating them.
00:33:21Yes, that could be Alex Scarponi.
00:33:23He was a photographer Ian would hire sometimes.
00:33:26He would have paid him about $350.
00:33:29Other than that, I don't think I can help anymore.
00:33:39Could you get us Scarponi's contact information?
00:33:41Sure.
00:33:51Lucy, it's me.
00:33:52I need you to look up something.
00:33:54The name is either Todd Armand or Armand Todd.
00:33:58We're looking for a connection between him and Ian Jenkins.
00:34:01All right.
00:34:02I'm on it.
00:34:03Okay, thanks.
00:34:04Bye.
00:34:05Yep.
00:34:05Sounds good, Bailey.
00:34:06Bye.
00:34:09Scarponi's on a photo shoot in Italy.
00:34:10He left this morning and is not due back until next week.
00:34:12Okay.
00:34:13I have my assistant Lucy looking up who Todd Armand is.
00:34:17Okay, look.
00:34:18I don't need you or your assistant doing research for us.
00:34:21Let the department handle the investigation.
00:34:24I'm just trying to help.
00:34:25Hey, wait a second.
00:34:28You know, Oliver Page's cooking show used to tape your guest star on it once.
00:34:32I made this, um, sesame ginger Cornish hen.
00:34:35It was out of this world.
00:34:36And this is relevant because...
00:34:38Because when Ian Jenkins asked for a massive pay raise,
00:34:41the network didn't have any money left over.
00:34:43That's why Oliver's show was canceled.
00:34:45Oliver's been out of work ever since.
00:34:47So you think that Oliver could have been angry enough about that
00:34:50to poison the guy who got his show canceled?
00:34:52It's possible.
00:35:20So, how many kids do you have?
00:35:23One.
00:35:24Daughter, right?
00:35:25I was right, wasn't I?
00:35:28You know, I think it's your humility that really draws people to you.
00:35:32Is that a joke?
00:35:33You made a joke.
00:35:34See, I knew there was a sense of humor in there somewhere.
00:35:35Yeah, because when I'm not on the job doing real detective work,
00:35:38I'm actually a fun person.
00:35:40Duly noted.
00:35:41Fun person.
00:35:44Of course, if that were true,
00:35:45you wouldn't have been on that date with that drip at the cooking class.
00:35:48What was his name?
00:35:49Leonard?
00:35:50Len is his name, and he's a very nice person.
00:35:53Oh.
00:35:55So when are you going to break up with him?
00:35:57I'm just saying, if we're going to be partners,
00:35:58we should probably get to know each other a little...
00:36:00Whoa, whoa, whoa.
00:36:01Hold on a second, okay?
00:36:03We are not partners.
00:36:04Let's be clear about that.
00:36:06All right?
00:36:06I am not even having this conversation with you.
00:36:09Oh, my God.
00:36:11I don't think he's home.
00:36:13Oliver?
00:36:14Oliver?
00:36:18In a murder mystery, this would be very concerning.
00:36:21What's the standard operating procedure here, detective?
00:36:24Uh, some would say, close the door and come back another time.
00:36:28And others?
00:36:33Others would say, get behind me, don't touch anything,
00:36:36and these next moments never happen.
00:36:38I love this cloak and dagger stuff.
00:36:42Oliver?
00:36:44It's Detective Price, San Francisco PD.
00:36:49Anybody home?
00:36:56Maggie?
00:37:13Maggie?
00:37:26He's alive.
00:37:28Oliver?
00:37:29Hey.
00:37:29Oliver.
00:37:30Oh, okay.
00:37:33Let's get you out.
00:37:34Here we go.
00:37:35Get in the chair.
00:37:37You all right?
00:37:38You all right?
00:37:41I, uh, I know you.
00:37:43I'm Detective Price.
00:37:45We met last night.
00:37:46Oh.
00:37:48Let me get you a glass of water.
00:37:53Oh.
00:37:57Rough night?
00:37:59Yeah, you could say that.
00:38:01I think we're all a little shaken up over Ian.
00:38:06You have company last night, Oliver?
00:38:09Uh, no.
00:38:10I was, uh, I was alone.
00:38:12No hot date?
00:38:13Just driving to Saras alone?
00:38:15Uh, no.
00:38:16I'm, um, married.
00:38:18I mean, uh, separated.
00:38:21I, uh, why exactly are you here again?
00:38:25We wanted to ask you about the flash drive that you gave to Ian Jenkin right before he died.
00:38:32Do you happen to know what was on it?
00:38:35I don't know.
00:38:36I don't know.
00:38:36I, uh, Ian asked me to pick it up from, uh, a photographer.
00:38:40Alex Scarponi?
00:38:41Yeah.
00:38:43I didn't think that you and Ian were terribly close.
00:38:47We weren't.
00:38:48I mean, we knew each other from the station, but, uh, to be honest, I don't think Ian was close
00:38:53to anybody.
00:38:54Not that I know of, anyway.
00:38:56Speaking of the station, I loved the show.
00:39:00You did?
00:39:01I did, big fan.
00:39:02I loved the one, especially when Henry cooked you the, uh, Cornish chicken.
00:39:07Hen.
00:39:07Hen.
00:39:08Delicious.
00:39:09Yeah, it was a good gig.
00:39:13You must be pretty angry you got canceled.
00:39:20Well, I mean, I was at first, but to tell you the truth, I got pretty burned out.
00:39:26Hosting a weekly cooking show is a lot more work than you'd think.
00:39:30There's the prep, the rehearsals, the whole thing helped to torpedo my marriage.
00:39:38Anyway, I have some other opportunities that have come my way recently, so, who knows?
00:39:43Maybe losing the show wasn't such a bad thing after all.
00:39:56He's lying.
00:39:57About what?
00:39:59When you asked him if he was alone last night, he looked up and to the left.
00:40:02Classic tell.
00:40:04Did you read that in a book?
00:40:05Yes, actually, I did.
00:40:07I had a little soft spot for crime fiction.
00:40:10Chandler, Rendell, Le Carré, I've read them all.
00:40:13You know, you'd be amazed at what you can learn from reading a book, detective.
00:40:15Yeah.
00:40:16You know what's really amazing?
00:40:20Actual police work.
00:40:22He was lying about being alone.
00:40:24Is that lipstick?
00:40:25Yep.
00:40:26Where did you find that?
00:40:27Not in a book.
00:40:29We need to check it for prints.
00:40:54Lamprey distributor confirms there were two orders one week apart from each other.
00:40:59Told you.
00:41:01Do we have a name that goes with the first order?
00:41:04Negative.
00:41:04It was paid for in cash by John Doe.
00:41:06No security cameras for an ID, and the distributor doesn't really remember what he looked like other than that he
00:41:11was a man.
00:41:12So I take it we won't have much luck in tracking down at John Doe, who pays for his fish
00:41:16in cash.
00:41:17Maybe the victim was doing an investigative report on Chez Duquette and all the crazy stuff that was going on,
00:41:24and Peter was so scared of all the negative publicity that he killed him.
00:41:27No.
00:41:28Listen, I know, Peter.
00:41:29He would never hurt anyone.
00:41:31And besides, think about it.
00:41:32A dead customer just draws negative attention to your restaurant, all right?
00:41:36It doesn't make sense, which is why I also don't think Klaus could have done it.
00:41:40A poison customer points the finger at him.
00:41:42It makes no sense.
00:41:44Well, we also have another problem, because Oliver just confirmed that he did, in fact, give Mr. Jenkins a blue
00:41:49flash drive that there was no evidence of at the crime scene.
00:41:53So, where did that go?
00:41:54How could it go missing?
00:41:55Are you sure it's not in evidence?
00:41:56I checked all the victim's pockets of the crime scene myself.
00:41:59They were all completely empty.
00:42:01Trust me, there's no flash drive in evidence.
00:42:03Do you remember anyone being near the body before the police arrived on the scene?
00:42:07Well, we all immediately surrounded him, of course, to see what we could do to help, but I don't remember
00:42:12anyone going into his pockets.
00:42:14Not that they couldn't have later when I wasn't looking.
00:42:16I thought nothing escaped your keen observation.
00:42:19You know what I noticed?
00:42:19You got a button missing on your jacket.
00:42:21You might want to get that fixed on time.
00:42:22The fingerprints just came back on that glass.
00:42:25You're not going to believe this.
00:42:26They belong to Pauline Duquette.
00:42:28She's in the system?
00:42:30She was arrested at a political rally at Harvard 12 years ago.
00:42:34This just got interesting.
00:42:37Let's go find her.
00:42:41Nice work, Monroe.
00:42:52Oliver and I have been friends for a long time.
00:42:56After what happened at the restaurant, we were both upset.
00:43:01He asked if I wanted to have a drink, so I went.
00:43:06I also wanted to continue talking to him about opening a new cooking school with him as our star chef.
00:43:14What?
00:43:14I'm sorry, Uncle.
00:43:15It's just with everything going on at a restaurant, I was worried things were falling apart and we were losing
00:43:20sales.
00:43:21And then when that reporter died, we had to do something.
00:43:25I thought that maybe we could leverage the Duquette name into something else to keep us going.
00:43:30You shouldn't be making business decisions without me.
00:43:32I'm still the owner here.
00:43:34I know, I just, I was trying to save what we have.
00:43:41Why would Oliver lie to us about seeing you?
00:43:49We had too much to drink, and things got out of hand.
00:43:57Oliver is trying to fix things between him and his wife, so he wouldn't want word to get out.
00:44:03That's all.
00:44:16So, we've been able to clear all friends, family, and co-workers.
00:44:19Anyone that Jenkin nailed from his investigations is either still behind bars or has been ruled out.
00:44:24We spoke with Scarponi in Italy, and he said that Jenkin just wanted everyone that was associated with Fillmore Bistro
00:44:30and Shea Duquette to be photographed.
00:44:32He states he never witnessed anything unusual, and everything he photographed he put on that flash drive and handed over
00:44:38to Oliver Page.
00:44:39We still don't know who Todd Armand is, or Armand Todd.
00:44:42As for 12 to 9.30, that could be 12 to 9.30 as in a time frame, or a
00:44:489.30 appointment on the 12th.
00:44:51If Jenkin was murdered on the 12th, maybe he was meeting this Armand guy on the 12th at 9.30
00:44:56in the morning.
00:44:57All right, we still don't have anything that ties Jenkin to anyone from that dinner.
00:45:06Wait a minute.
00:45:07What if we're looking at this all wrong?
00:45:10What if the murderer weren't after the reporter?
00:45:13What if the intended target was actually Peter and his restaurant?
00:45:19Who would benefit the most from Shea Duquette going out of business?
00:45:23Peter's rival, Raymond Bishop.
00:45:25Exactly.
00:45:26Everybody knows that they hate each other.
00:45:28Who better than Raymond to know how to sabotage another restaurant?
00:45:32But wasn't Raymond's restaurant being sabotaged too?
00:45:36Well, that could be a cover to throw us all off.
00:45:38That's right.
00:45:39Jenkin could have discovered Raymond was sabotaging Shea Duquette.
00:45:42He confronted Raymond with his evidence.
00:45:44Raymond panicked, poisoned him at the dinner, thereby silencing the investigation and putting
00:45:50his hated rival out of business.
00:45:52Killing two birds with one stone.
00:45:53Bam!
00:45:54Oh boy.
00:45:57Okay, this is how it works.
00:45:59You keep an eye out for anything suspicious and let me do the talking.
00:46:03If Raymond cultivated the toxin at his house, it's more than likely there'll be traced elements left.
00:46:08Forsyth's assembling a forensic team right now, okay?
00:46:10Can you stay behind me, please?
00:46:12Okay, fine, fine.
00:46:15Raymond Bishop, San Francisco PD!
00:46:24Detective.
00:46:25Henry.
00:46:25What can I do for you?
00:46:27Mr. Bishop?
00:46:28We have some questions for you.
00:46:30May we come in?
00:46:32Uh, well, it's, uh...
00:46:34If you prefer, we can take it down to the station.
00:46:37No, that's fine.
00:46:38Come in.
00:46:48Peter.
00:46:50Henry.
00:46:58We've been friends for 40 years.
00:47:00We trained together under the same chef at one of the best cooking schools in Paris when
00:47:04we were young men.
00:47:05He turns up at the school where I was the star pupil.
00:47:08Oh, the ego on this guy.
00:47:10I was about to say, this young guy turns up at the school, blows everybody's socks off.
00:47:15Of course, I knew I had to up my game.
00:47:17We were always trying to outdo each other over the years.
00:47:20Peter eventually took over his family's restaurant, and eventually I came to San Francisco and was
00:47:24able to open Fillmore Bistro.
00:47:26Right, and shortly after he had opened his restaurant, I gave an interview in the newspaper, and I made some
00:47:34comments about Raymond and his cooking.
00:47:36Now, of course, I was just teasing, but the journalist didn't write it that way.
00:47:39And all of a sudden, it became this huge rivalry.
00:47:42Rivalry.
00:47:43Yeah, yeah.
00:47:44But instead of hurting business, I mean, customers were flocking to the restaurants to see what was going on.
00:47:48Right.
00:47:49Business was booming, so why set them straight?
00:47:51So you never wanted to ruin Peter?
00:47:53Of course not.
00:47:54No, no.
00:47:57As a matter of fact, he's been trying to keep my spirits up.
00:48:01I don't know.
00:48:02With everything that's been going on, sometimes I wonder if I should just retire, just pack the whole thing up.
00:48:07Yeah, I've been wondering the same thing.
00:48:10It's business.
00:48:11It's, uh, that's just not the same anymore.
00:48:18Thank you, gentlemen.
00:48:26So I might have been a little off in my theory.
00:48:30You should have heard Forsythe when I told her to call off the forensics.
00:48:35I don't know what she was thinking by pairing us together.
00:48:38This is ridiculous.
00:48:40Oh, thank you.
00:48:42And what are we doing here?
00:48:44I don't really want to eat ribs right now.
00:48:47Maggie, I'm sorry.
00:48:49But I screwed up.
00:48:50I am.
00:48:51But I brought you here because I wanted to show you why this case means so much to me.
00:49:00When I was a teenager, shortly after I started working for Peter, he saw something in me.
00:49:08And so one day, he brought me here.
00:49:12And he pointed to that gentleman right back there.
00:49:17That's the owner.
00:49:19Had this place 50 years.
00:49:22Peter told me,
00:49:24Henry, it doesn't matter if you work in a high-end establishment like mine or a little place like this.
00:49:30If you bring the same passion and care to your cooking that that man brings to his, you will be
00:49:39a success in life, no matter the size of your bank account.
00:49:48That is the best advice anyone has ever given me in my entire life.
00:49:57And I also brought you here because we didn't get lunch.
00:49:59These are the best ribs you are ever going to eat in your entire life.
00:50:02I'll see about that.
00:50:04There's no way around it.
00:50:05You just got to dive in and get messy.
00:50:07I'm not afraid.
00:50:16Hey, Lucy.
00:50:17Hi.
00:50:18Okay.
00:50:18There are three Todd Armand living in San Francisco, but I can't find a connection between them and Ian Jenkins.
00:50:24I did have an idea for this week's blog, though.
00:50:26What about food poisoning?
00:50:2848 million people get food poisoning each year in this country.
00:50:323,000 of them actually die.
00:50:34We could call it the secret killer lurking in your fridge.
00:50:38I like it.
00:50:42So how's the case going?
00:50:53Deadlier by the minute.
00:51:07Drop the case and you're next?
00:51:10You have to tell Maggie.
00:51:11No way.
00:51:12If the police think I'm in danger, they're going to take me off the case, and I'm not going to
00:51:14let that happen.
00:51:15I promised Peter that I would get to the bottom of this, and that's what I'm going to do.
00:51:18How can you eat at a time like this?
00:51:20It's not for me.
00:51:21It's for you.
00:51:22You know I think better when I'm cooking.
00:51:27Voila.
00:51:28Best perk of my job.
00:51:34Yeah?
00:51:35Mm-hmm.
00:51:39Henry, this case is getting serious.
00:51:41I don't want anything to happen to you.
00:51:43How am I supposed to find another job where I get to eat this well?
00:51:54Hello?
00:51:55Hey, it's Maggie.
00:51:56I found something.
00:51:58Yeah, what do you got?
00:51:59Well, I was combing the web for images of Ian Jenkins.
00:52:02Remember how Sally Aldrin said that she'd just met him?
00:52:04Yeah.
00:52:05I found a photo of Sally and Ian looking pretty cozy at a fundraiser.
00:52:10The photo was taken one week ago.
00:52:12Why would she lie to you about them being an item?
00:52:14Because that would make her a top suspect.
00:52:17We have to talk to Sally right away.
00:52:19Right.
00:52:19Look, today is Saturday.
00:52:21Sally's book launch is tonight.
00:52:24Perfect.
00:52:24We'll confront her there and catch her off guard.
00:52:26Good idea.
00:52:27See ya.
00:52:39It's funny, Maggie didn't mention she had a new partner.
00:52:43Oh, no, no.
00:52:44No, we're not partners.
00:52:46I'm, uh, I'm just a consultant.
00:52:48Mm-hmm.
00:52:53You know, my mom never takes as long to get ready.
00:52:56You sure this isn't a date?
00:52:58Oh, no.
00:52:59Definitely not a date.
00:53:01Wait here.
00:53:02I'll go check on her.
00:53:12You win those?
00:53:14We all got one just for showing up.
00:53:15That's ridiculous.
00:53:17I mean, you know, no offense.
00:53:19No, it is ridiculous.
00:53:20I mean, if I get a trophy, I want it to mean something.
00:53:25So how good are you?
00:53:27I made it at $1,650.
00:53:28Wow.
00:53:29Really?
00:53:30You play?
00:53:32State champ, two years running.
00:53:34Really?
00:53:35When I was your age, I used to skip school and play with the old guys in the park for
00:53:38money.
00:53:39I mean, not that you should do that.
00:53:41Don't, don't do that.
00:53:44Maybe you could teach me something.
00:53:46Or whatever.
00:53:46I mean, I'm sure you're probably really busy.
00:53:48No, I'll definitely show you some tricks.
00:53:50I'd love to.
00:53:53Here she is.
00:53:57High heels and all.
00:54:00Well, pigs do fly.
00:54:02Enjoy yourselves, you two.
00:54:04Mom, for the last time, we are going out for work.
00:54:07Then, uh, how come you kept changing your outfit?
00:54:11Don't you have homework?
00:54:13I already did it.
00:54:13Of course you did.
00:54:14I love you.
00:54:16Love you, too.
00:54:17Sorry, I have to work late again.
00:54:18It's okay.
00:54:19I'll be back as soon as I can, okay?
00:54:21Oh, take your time.
00:54:33So, let's go crash a party.
00:54:42Thank you so much for coming.
00:54:44And I've got the answers.
00:54:47Just trying to blend.
00:54:49Of course you are.
00:54:51It's nice to see you not wearing gray.
00:54:53You look beautiful.
00:54:54Right.
00:54:55What?
00:54:57What's the punchline?
00:54:58There's no punchline.
00:54:59I mean it.
00:55:00You look beautiful.
00:55:01Although I am wondering where you're hiding your gun.
00:55:04Sally!
00:55:05Henry!
00:55:07Hi!
00:55:08And it's Detective Price.
00:55:11That's right.
00:55:13You guys here on official business?
00:55:15Are you here to enjoy the party?
00:55:17Official business.
00:55:18I'm enjoying the party.
00:55:19She's driving.
00:55:20Miss Aldrin, this photo suggests that you and Ian were on much friendlier terms than what you led us to
00:55:25believe.
00:55:26Why would you lie to us?
00:55:31Because I was scared.
00:55:33I watch TV, okay?
00:55:36The murderer always turns out to be the angry girlfriend.
00:55:39Look, I had nothing to do with Ian's murder.
00:55:42All right?
00:55:43Ian had enough enemies on his own.
00:55:45He didn't need my help to kill him.
00:55:47There was tension between the two of you at Shader Cabin.
00:55:50You should know about catchy titles, Sally.
00:55:54What were you fighting about?
00:55:56Our different definitions of the word exclusive.
00:55:59But that doesn't make me a killer.
00:56:01Look, I really can't handle the scandal right now.
00:56:06I don't want to make my publishers nervous.
00:56:08So let me just wrap this up.
00:56:23Sally, word on the street is that you're being wooed by another publisher.
00:56:30I know things.
00:56:32What other publisher?
00:56:34You mean my talks with Layton?
00:56:36Layton Leopold?
00:56:38The chef at Fillmore Bistro?
00:56:40Yeah.
00:56:41Layton came to me a while ago.
00:56:44He said he was starting his own line of cookbooks,
00:56:47mainly featuring his own recipes from Fillmore Bistro.
00:56:50He said that he was coming into a lot of money
00:56:53and that he was getting ready to buy the restaurant from Raymond.
00:56:56Wait, Layton said this?
00:56:58Yeah.
00:56:59He said Raymond was ready to retire
00:57:01and that he was tired of running the business
00:57:03and all the houses that came with it.
00:57:05Thought he was going to get a pretty good price on it, too.
00:57:08I think they were having problems.
00:57:11Did Layton say where this money was coming from?
00:57:13I didn't ask.
00:57:15I'm not looking to expand.
00:57:16As you can see, my publishers treat me pretty well.
00:57:21I really should get back to mingling.
00:57:24Sure.
00:57:26Just, um...
00:57:27Yeah, yeah.
00:57:27Don't leave down.
00:57:34Okay, look, if we hurry,
00:57:35we can probably still catch Layton at the Fillmore Bistro.
00:57:37The kitchen's open till 11.
00:57:38Okay, Henry, it's late.
00:57:40It's been a long week,
00:57:40and I'm going to go home and spend some time with my daughter.
00:57:42We're going to start again on Monday, okay?
00:57:44What are you talking about?
00:57:45We've got a major lead to follow up on.
00:57:47I mean, Layton is clearly up to something.
00:57:48Henry.
00:57:49Okay, look, this is what I propose.
00:57:51We go talk to Layton.
00:57:52Then after, we go for Mushu Pork and talk about the case.
00:57:55Lucy, my assistant, her parents own the best restaurant in all of Chinatown.
00:57:59I have a life outside of the police force.
00:58:02Abby already doesn't see enough of me as it is.
00:58:06Now, this may be hard for you to understand because you are not responsible for anyone else,
00:58:09but we have a family rule.
00:58:11I am home for dinner four nights a week,
00:58:13and I already missed that dinner.
00:58:16This is my job,
00:58:17and I care deeply about what I do.
00:58:20But my family comes first,
00:58:21and nobody is going to change that.
00:58:50I care deeply about what I do.
00:59:02Seriously, I'm right there in the middle of the palace with soaking wet shoes.
00:59:06It was ridiculous.
00:59:06I thought they were going to throw me out of the country right there.
00:59:08Thankfully, they didn't.
00:59:09I was invited back, but hey.
00:59:12Oh.
00:59:13What are you doing?
00:59:15How was your run?
00:59:17What are you doing here?
00:59:18He's making breakfast.
00:59:19You have got to try these omelets.
00:59:21They're insane.
00:59:22Do you know Henry has traveled all over the world?
00:59:24Tell my mom a story about the bull in Spain.
00:59:26Yeah, now may not be the best.
00:59:28He was gore by a bull.
00:59:29Yeah, mine are goring.
00:59:31Show her the scar.
00:59:32It's fine.
00:59:32I don't need to see the scar.
00:59:33I'm just trying to understand why you're here
00:59:36when I told you that we could reconvene on Monday.
00:59:38Maggie.
00:59:39Mom?
00:59:40Look, I'm sorry.
00:59:41I just...
00:59:44I wanted you to know that I heard you loud and clear last night, all right?
00:59:46You need to be with your family, who are adorable, by the way.
00:59:51Bon appétit.
00:59:52So, I was thinking, you know, why not do both, right?
01:00:00Okay.
01:00:02Look, before you throw me out,
01:00:05why don't I at least make you breakfast?
01:00:06I've got everything out.
01:00:07It's ready to go.
01:00:17Fine.
01:00:18Yeah?
01:00:20What do you like in your omelet?
01:00:22Everything.
01:00:23Oh.
01:00:24With Tabasco.
01:00:25My kind of woman.
01:00:46There you are.
01:00:52Pretty.
01:01:00How is it?
01:01:04It's great.
01:01:05Really?
01:01:06Oh, wow.
01:01:07You are so needy.
01:01:08You know that?
01:01:10All chefs are.
01:01:11What can I say?
01:01:15By the way, you were right last night.
01:01:19I don't have anything outside of work.
01:01:21This is all I have.
01:01:25Your family is great.
01:01:27You're a lucky woman.
01:01:30I know.
01:01:34I'm sorry if I overreacted.
01:01:36No, you've got nothing to apologize for.
01:01:38This was a dumb idea.
01:01:40Look, I'm just going to clean up,
01:01:41and I will get out of your hair.
01:01:50Hey, um, my mom was going to take Abby out
01:01:54for a few hours anyway.
01:01:56If you want, we could go over stuff.
01:01:59I thought you'd never ask.
01:02:05Excited.
01:02:09Bam.
01:02:10Wow.
01:02:11You recreated the murder board
01:02:14in my living room.
01:02:15In case you're wondering,
01:02:16I used the photos from my cell phone.
01:02:17Trust me, it is exactly the same.
01:02:20I can see that.
01:02:22Okay.
01:02:24You think that Leighton
01:02:25was sabotaging his own restaurant
01:02:27so that he could destroy the business enough
01:02:29to be able to buy the restaurant from Raymond?
01:02:31Everybody in town knows that Leighton
01:02:33has a big ego and believes that Raymond
01:02:35doesn't give him the exposure
01:02:37he feels he deserves.
01:02:38If you would just listen to me,
01:02:40we could make bold choices like this
01:02:42without alienating our customers.
01:02:44Or you could go buy your own restaurant
01:02:46and cook whatever you like.
01:02:48And Leighton was clearly frustrated
01:02:49that Raymond refused to take any risks.
01:02:51If Leighton owned Fillmore Bistro,
01:02:53he would turn it into a shrine
01:02:55to showcase his cooking,
01:02:56something Raymond would never let happen.
01:02:59So what is Leighton's motive
01:03:00for killing Jenkin?
01:03:01Jenkin discovered what Leighton
01:03:03was doing to Raymond and his restaurant.
01:03:07So Leighton also started sabotaging
01:03:10Chez Duquette as the perfect decoy.
01:03:12Exactly.
01:03:15Okay, so from the beginning,
01:03:18Leighton causes problems at Fillmore Bistro,
01:03:20but knows that he's going to be a prime suspect.
01:03:22So to throw off any investigation,
01:03:24he also sabotages Chez Duquette
01:03:28with the added benefit of harming his main competitor.
01:03:33We need to find out where Leighton is right now
01:03:35and bring him in for questioning.
01:03:36Exactly.
01:03:48Maggie, take a look at this.
01:03:50I've got a message from Leighton Leopold.
01:03:53What?
01:03:55Henry,
01:03:56I need you to tell everyone
01:03:57that I never meant for this to go so far.
01:04:00I didn't mean for Mr. Jenkin to die,
01:04:02but eat.
01:04:04Anyway, I've ended it all now.
01:04:12If Raymond had just listened to me,
01:04:14none of this would have happened.
01:04:15I was the reason Fillmore Bistro was such a success.
01:04:19But Raymond has no ambition.
01:04:22When he refused to sell me the business,
01:04:24he left me no choice.
01:04:26I began tampering with ingredients,
01:04:29disrupting the business,
01:04:30pushing Raymond to the point
01:04:31where he was ready to retire.
01:04:33I started sabotaging Chez Duquette as well.
01:04:36I did not order this.
01:04:37I got the order right here.
01:04:39To make it look like all of the chaos
01:04:41linked back to the feud between Raymond and Peter.
01:04:44When Jenkin began investigating what was going on,
01:04:47he was going to blow the lid off everything.
01:04:49I panicked.
01:04:51I knew Klaus was serving lamprey at the gala
01:04:53and cultivated my own toxin.
01:04:55Excuse me.
01:04:57Can you take this drink over that gentleman?
01:05:00Please, thank you.
01:05:06I poisoned his drink before the dinner,
01:05:09hoping everyone would think Jenkin's death was an accident.
01:05:16But I didn't have a choice.
01:05:18He cornered me.
01:05:19I was afraid.
01:05:22I didn't know what to do.
01:05:26I can't live with what I've done,
01:05:27so I've used the poison on myself.
01:05:31We just wrecked his garage for the second time.
01:05:34No trace of TTB.
01:05:35Wherever he cultivated the poison,
01:05:37it wasn't here.
01:05:38You should check the harbor.
01:05:41Guess what we just found tucked away in a drawer.
01:05:45This look familiar?
01:05:47That's the one.
01:05:49We tried it on one of our laptops.
01:05:50It's encrypted.
01:05:51I'm sure one of the IT guys can unlock that.
01:05:53It shouldn't take them too long.
01:05:55Bag it up with everything else.
01:06:02You know what I take from all this?
01:06:05No more seafood, man.
01:06:07I'm done.
01:06:12So that's it then?
01:06:14Case closed?
01:06:17Is it always like this?
01:06:22No.
01:06:25It's never this clean.
01:06:41Henry, I need you to tell everyone
01:06:43that I never meant for this to go so far.
01:06:45I didn't mean for Mr. Jenkins to die, but he...
01:06:50Anyway, I've ended it all now.
01:06:55What are you doing?
01:06:57There's something bothering me about this message.
01:07:00I can't put my finger on it.
01:07:05Henry, I need you to tell everyone
01:07:07that I never meant for this to go so far.
01:07:09I didn't mean for Mr. Jenkins to die.
01:07:17It's too clean.
01:07:20It's just too clean.
01:07:22What's too clean?
01:07:25Oh, nothing.
01:07:26Sorry, I was just thinking about work.
01:07:29This looks like a lot of effort, Mom.
01:07:32We could just order something.
01:07:34No, I want to do this.
01:07:35You know, food is not just supposed to be about sustenance.
01:07:38It's about the experience.
01:07:40Do you know how long this experience is going to take?
01:07:43I'm starving.
01:07:46Okay, why don't you grab an apron
01:07:48and then you can help speed this along?
01:07:49Okay.
01:07:50Okay.
01:07:53You want help?
01:07:54Yeah.
01:07:57So, what are we making?
01:07:59I was thinking about doing Thai stir fry.
01:08:02What do you think?
01:08:03Sounds yummy.
01:08:04Yeah?
01:08:04Yeah.
01:08:05Want to jump on the carrots there?
01:08:06Sure.
01:08:07Good job.
01:08:10Sorry.
01:08:15Bailey.
01:08:16Detective, I've got something you really need to see.
01:08:18The guys in IT, they unlocked the flash drive.
01:08:20And?
01:08:21It was filled with photos of people working
01:08:23at Shea Duquette and Fillmore Bistro.
01:08:24But there's this one photo in particular
01:08:26I think you're really going to be interested in.
01:08:28I'm emailing it over to you right now.
01:08:32I can't get over these food poisoning stats.
01:08:36128,000 people are hospitalized each year.
01:08:39Well, like you said,
01:08:40it's the killer lurking in your fridge.
01:08:50Or fridge magnet.
01:08:52That magnet on the board.
01:08:55Lucy, it was never Todd.
01:08:58T-O-D-D.
01:08:59It was T-C-D-D.
01:09:02The O was a C.
01:09:04Look up a business called, um,
01:09:07Thompson, Christy, Davies, and Divine.
01:09:11Got it.
01:09:12Look at this.
01:09:13This is a merchant bank right here in San Francisco.
01:09:15Check out the address.
01:09:181274 Armand Street.
01:09:20It was never a person.
01:09:22It's a street.
01:09:23Says here they specialize in the food industry.
01:09:26We know the 12th was the same day Jenkin was murdered.
01:09:29And Sally said that Layton was coming into some money.
01:09:34Maybe Jenkin discovered a connection
01:09:35between Layton and this bank
01:09:37and went on the 12th at 9.30 to investigate.
01:09:39Whatever he found out led to his conclusion,
01:09:42which he was about to announce before his death.
01:09:45Wait a minute.
01:09:48Armand Street is in the Financial District, right?
01:09:50The Financial District has that clock that chimes, right?
01:09:53Yeah, it's right by the park.
01:09:55Henry, I need you to tell everyone
01:09:58that I never meant for this to go so far.
01:10:00I didn't mean for Mr. Jenkin to die, but he...
01:10:04And again, I've ended it all now.
01:10:08That was a one o'clock and two o'clock chime
01:10:10in one recording.
01:10:11How did two chimes separated by an hour
01:10:14end up in a message that only lasted 15 seconds?
01:10:21What?
01:10:22I have to call Maggie.
01:10:28Henry, I was just about to call you.
01:10:30I have something to show you.
01:10:31I have something to show you, too.
01:10:33It's not over.
01:10:35I didn't mean for Mr. Jenkin to die, but he...
01:10:40Anyway, I've ended it all now.
01:10:42So the lab guys have confirmed
01:10:44that the message was spliced together
01:10:46from a number of different recordings.
01:10:48Layton wasn't working alone.
01:10:49So Layton was murdered.
01:10:51Yes.
01:10:52Maybe they had an argument
01:10:53or Layton wanted to come clean,
01:10:55whatever it was.
01:10:55His accomplice recorded a series of conversations,
01:10:58spliced them together,
01:10:59poisoned him with the toxin,
01:11:01and problem solved.
01:11:03I just got off the phone with the merchant bank
01:11:05where Jenkin had a meeting
01:11:06the morning of his murder,
01:11:08and his investigation was spot on.
01:11:09Layton and his partner
01:11:11did have a meeting at the bank
01:11:12several weeks earlier
01:11:13about raising funds for a food conglomerate
01:11:15that involved a frozen food line,
01:11:17cooking schools,
01:11:18a line of books, the works.
01:11:19That's right.
01:11:19That's why Jenkin had photos
01:11:21of Sally Aldrin and Oliver Page.
01:11:23They were going to be part
01:11:24of this new food empire.
01:11:26Layton and his partner
01:11:27were planning all of this
01:11:28without Raymond or Peter
01:11:30knowing anything about it.
01:11:31Why did nobody mention
01:11:32any of this during interrogation?
01:11:34As far as they were concerned,
01:11:35these were just individual conversations.
01:11:37They had no idea
01:11:38that they were part
01:11:38of some grand conspiracy
01:11:40or even the fact
01:11:40that they were connected
01:11:41to Ian Jenkins' murder.
01:11:43And do you want to know the best part?
01:11:45What's the best part?
01:11:45Our IT guys were able
01:11:47to unlock that flash drive
01:11:48Ian Jenkins so desperately wanted.
01:11:51Layton's partner at the meeting
01:11:53was Pauline Duquette.
01:12:08Okay, thanks.
01:12:10Scarponi just confirmed
01:12:11taking photos of Pauline and Layton kissing.
01:12:13Why didn't he mention that earlier?
01:12:15He said he didn't bring it up
01:12:15because it didn't look unusual.
01:12:16Just two people outside of a bank
01:12:18like any other couple.
01:12:19Jenkin knew what it meant.
01:12:20Yeah.
01:12:21That's why Layton stole the flash drive.
01:12:23He was worried
01:12:24about incriminating photos.
01:12:25We were behind it
01:12:26from the beginning.
01:12:26Layton's been sabotaging
01:12:27Fillmore Bistro
01:12:28and Pauline was doing
01:12:29the same thing to Chez Duquette.
01:12:46Bailey, Monroe, cover the back.
01:12:49Hey, you, stay here.
01:12:51What, are you kidding me?
01:12:52We're not dealing
01:12:52with a Russian mob here.
01:12:53What's she gonna do,
01:12:54throw poison fish at us?
01:12:56Henry, stay behind me.
01:13:03Pauline Duquette,
01:13:04you're under arrest
01:13:05for the murders
01:13:05of Ian Jenkin
01:13:06and Layton Leopold.
01:13:07Excuse me?
01:13:08The spliced recordings
01:13:09and suicide note
01:13:10were a nice touch,
01:13:11although frankly,
01:13:11I could have done
01:13:12without the knife
01:13:12in my kitchen.
01:13:15At what point
01:13:17did you realize
01:13:18you needed to get rid of Layton?
01:13:19I don't know
01:13:19what you're talking about.
01:13:20I imagine he was feeling
01:13:21very guilty
01:13:21about the death
01:13:22of Ian Jenkin
01:13:23because that was never
01:13:23part of the plan,
01:13:24was it?
01:13:26Ian forced your hand
01:13:27when he confronted you.
01:13:30You're the one
01:13:31who poisoned him
01:13:32at the dinner.
01:13:37This is ridiculous.
01:13:38What proof do you have?
01:13:39Aside from the fact
01:13:40that we know
01:13:41that you and Layton
01:13:41were a couple
01:13:42and have photos
01:13:43to prove it
01:13:44and that you were
01:13:45taking meetings
01:13:45at the merchant bank
01:13:46about merging
01:13:47your two restaurants,
01:13:48what I think
01:13:49will really please
01:13:50the judge
01:13:50is that TTB
01:13:52is such a virulent toxin
01:13:53that even if you wear gloves
01:13:55and scour your hands
01:13:56after.
01:13:57Traces of the airborne molecules
01:13:59remain on your skin
01:14:01for days.
01:14:03You have the right
01:14:04to remain silent.
01:14:06Anything you say
01:14:06can and will be used against you.
01:14:09Whoa, whoa, whoa,
01:14:10Pauline.
01:14:12Pauline, put the gun down.
01:14:17Give me your gun.
01:14:35It was unloaded.
01:14:38My uncle keeps it
01:14:39for when he's working late.
01:14:41It makes him feel safer.
01:14:44Cut yourself to the radiator.
01:14:59And give me the keys.
01:15:07You're coming with me.
01:15:11Let's go.
01:15:14Let's go.
01:15:39Through the kitchen.
01:15:41Go.
01:15:50Move, let's go.
01:15:52Please drop the weapon.
01:15:53Whoa, whoa.
01:15:54Pauline, drop the gun.
01:15:59You stay back.
01:16:00Okay, everybody
01:16:00just calm down.
01:16:02Everything is under control.
01:16:03All right?
01:16:06You and Leighton
01:16:07were going to run down
01:16:07both restaurants
01:16:08to the point
01:16:09where you could buy
01:16:09them off of Peter and Raymond
01:16:10at a great price.
01:16:12Right?
01:16:13It was actually
01:16:14a brilliant plan.
01:16:15You and Leighton,
01:16:17your lover,
01:16:19leveraging both restaurants
01:16:20to woo investors
01:16:21into a whole new food empire
01:16:23that put the two of you
01:16:23at the center of it all.
01:16:26have to admire your ambition.
01:16:29Except that after you killed
01:16:30Jinkin,
01:16:32Leighton got cold feet
01:16:33and he started to panic,
01:16:35didn't he?
01:16:36Because Leighton never planned
01:16:37on this turning into murder.
01:16:39Okay, I'm warning you!
01:16:40Hey, Maggie,
01:16:40could you just...
01:16:46listen, Pauline...
01:16:48I have known you
01:16:49your entire life.
01:16:52Think of what you're doing
01:16:53to Peter.
01:16:55He loves you so much.
01:16:57With a daughter
01:16:58that he never had.
01:17:03This restaurant
01:17:05has been part
01:17:06of your family's history
01:17:07for the past 80 years.
01:17:10Don't let it end like this.
01:17:12It doesn't have to.
01:17:13It's not too late.
01:17:15Look.
01:17:18You owe it
01:17:20to your family.
01:17:22You owe it to Peter.
01:17:27Two people have died.
01:17:30It's over.
01:17:34I'm so sorry, Henry.
01:17:37I didn't mean
01:17:38for it to be this way.
01:17:39It's just...
01:17:41it got out of hand.
01:17:42You have the right
01:17:43to remain silent.
01:17:45Anything you do
01:17:46and say will be used
01:17:47against you
01:17:47in a court of law.
01:17:50You have the right
01:17:50to an attorney.
01:17:51You cannot afford an attorney.
01:17:53One will be appointed
01:17:53to be...
01:18:03No, just keep him
01:18:03all in the back.
01:18:12Well, I, um...
01:18:15hate to say it,
01:18:16but...
01:18:17nicely done.
01:18:19Well, something
01:18:20had to be done.
01:18:21If I left it up to you,
01:18:22clearly I was
01:18:23going to get shot.
01:18:25Excuse me?
01:18:26If it weren't for me
01:18:27and two other
01:18:28armed detectives,
01:18:29you would never
01:18:29be seen again.
01:18:30So I think the words
01:18:31that they're looking for
01:18:32are thank you.
01:18:33Thank you?
01:18:34Really?
01:18:35Yeah.
01:18:35Because at the rate
01:18:36you were going,
01:18:36she was going to shoot me first
01:18:37then take aim at you.
01:18:38I mean, you should be
01:18:39thanking me
01:18:40for saving both our lives.
01:18:41Are you kidding me?
01:18:41Would you always
