00:05I can't remember if you asked or not, but I've been feeling like an astronaut.
00:12That's him, that's him!
00:13Mr. Borough, got time for a picture?
00:17Teddy.
00:20Sure.
00:22What's your name?
00:23Joanna.
00:24Joanna, it's good to meet you.
00:26She wants to be an astronaut.
00:27Oh, yeah?
00:28And after you go to space, I want a picture with you.
00:31Deal?
00:32Deal.
00:33Go on, honey.
00:38What's it like up there?
00:40Well, um, I'll tell you.
00:43You never get tired of the view.
00:4516 sunrises, 16 sunsets every day.
00:48And it has its challenges.
00:51I hope you get to see it someday.
00:54Thanks for this.
00:55You folks have a good day.
00:57You too.
00:58That was so cool.
00:59Now we're running late.
01:00Come on, we can cut through it this way.
01:02Excuse us.
01:05You all right?
01:06Yeah, I'm good.
01:07Just a little nervous about giving the speech.
01:12Hey!
01:13What the hell?
01:14What is wrong with people?
01:16Teddy, are you okay?
01:18Teddy?
01:19Oh, my God.
01:22What is happening?
01:24What is happening?
01:24Oh, my God.
01:25Get out.
01:26Get out.
01:27Somebody help!
01:29Help!
01:30Help!
01:39So you're just going to fly to New York and knock on Willa Quinn's door?
01:43I've gone through all the proper channels.
01:45So far, I've been ghosted and shut down by a receptionist named Cleo.
01:49So I'm just going to go.
01:51I'm tired of waiting.
01:52Yeah, me too.
01:54All right, well, Ludo can watch the kids.
01:55I just got to run to my house.
01:55Absolutely not, Morgan.
01:56Don't do this, okay?
01:58I'm going with you, all right?
01:59I need to talk to this woman.
02:01Soto is right.
02:02It's too risky, Morgan.
02:03Willa's too much of an unknown, and what we do know worries me.
02:06She erases problems for billionaires.
02:08Her clients are senators and CEOs.
02:10Half the people who make the rules we enforce.
02:12I understand, and the other half pay her to...
02:15I'm going alone.
02:17Going where?
02:23New York City.
02:26I'm looking for a woman named Willa Quinn.
02:28Her name was given to us by...
02:29Eric Hayworth.
02:30Yeah, I know about him.
02:33And Arthur.
02:36All of it.
02:39So you understand why I need to keep the circle small?
02:43Sure.
02:45You're leaving now?
02:46I've got a plane to catch.
02:47Okay, if I go with you...
02:48Stop.
02:49And if it gets messy with Willa?
02:51Then it'll be my ass on the line, not yours.
02:54I'm sure you have other things to take care of, Captain.
02:57Oh, just dinner with my old man.
02:58Trust me.
02:59I'd rather go with you.
03:01But I'm sure you'll keep us all posted.
03:04Feel free to use my office.
03:11Looks like you two are on the way to the Biltmore Hotel.
03:14We've got a high-profile murder on our hands.
03:16Who is it?
03:17Teddy Barrow, former astronaut.
03:19Who says he's a big deal.
03:20Yeah, he's a big deal.
03:22680 days on the International Space Station.
03:25Everything okay?
03:26Yeah, I'm just glad Elliot's stuck at school.
03:30I'm gonna have Detectives Ozdill and Forrester meet you there.
03:37I don't want your love.
03:48I just want to fight.
03:52Samantha.
03:55Teddy Barrow was on his way to give a keynote speech at a business symposium.
03:58We're questioning all the attendance, but the event was publicized online, so anyone in the world could have known he'd
04:02be here.
04:03How do you kill someone with a pie?
04:04It must have been laced with some kind of toxin.
04:06Bystanders seem to be okay.
04:08Hasn't been cleaned and cleared the area, so it's not airborne.
04:10And the woman who did this?
04:11Teddy's aide chased her, but she got away.
04:14Okay, this was taken right before it happened.
04:17You can see the attacker in the background.
04:19Anyone else get a look at her?
04:20Victim's fiancée was next to him when it happened.
04:23Heidi Choi.
04:24Paramedics are checking her out right now, but it looks like she'll be okay.
04:26Morgan and I will talk to her.
04:27You guys get any footage the hotel has of the attack and push forensics to rush labs on the pie.
04:32Find out what the hell we're dealing with.
04:34Teddy and I, we worked together for 12 years.
04:37Me on the ISS ground team and him going up.
04:39We always had feelings for each other, but we agreed to keep it professional.
04:45Then about a month ago, he changed his mind on a dime.
04:48We went on a few dates.
04:50Things moved really fast and...
04:55Before you knew it, he was asking me to marry him.
05:00I'm so sorry.
05:02At first I thought that woman was pulling some sort of terrible prank,
05:06and then I saw that Teddy, he couldn't breathe, and...
05:12It's okay.
05:13Take your time.
05:14I'm sorry.
05:16We got the hotel security footage.
05:18You do not need to watch this.
05:20It's all right.
05:20I want to help.
05:27Do you recognize her?
05:29No, I don't.
05:30I'm sorry.
05:32It's okay.
05:33If we have any other questions, we'll let you know.
05:40We checked every angle.
05:41None give a good look at the woman's face.
05:43No, we can still run it through facial recognition.
05:45Maybe we'll get lucky.
05:46I think we just did.
05:47You said this woman outran everyone, right?
05:50Mm-hmm.
05:51Okay, check out this footwork.
05:52She is really booking it.
05:55This woman is a serious runner.
06:01Look at these impressions.
06:03She was wearing track spikes, and since the spikes are all clustered up at the front, our killer was also
06:09a sprinter.
06:10And based on her speed and how much ground she covered, I'm guessing 11 seconds in the 100, give or
06:15take?
06:16D1 speed.
06:17No wonder no one caught her.
06:18Yeah, and look at this.
06:19Her shoes are custom colors.
06:21Yeah, red with a black heel strike.
06:24That's St. Emily's Women's College.
06:26They have a D1 track and field team.
06:29My ex went there.
06:30She was a big runner.
06:32Ran far away from commitment.
06:34Yeah, I just checked their roster.
06:36Only one sprinter there clocks on 11 second 100, Arden Prescott.
06:39Let's pay a little visit to St. Emily, see if we can track her down.
06:42Track her down?
06:44You're going to do this all day?
06:45I'll stop.
06:45I think that's for the best.
06:46Which time is it?
06:47Yeah, I'll have to meet you there.
06:49She had the bolt.
06:57Hey, can I come in?
07:05You heard about Teddy Barrow, huh?
07:08I have a news alert.
07:09When did you find out?
07:11Well, actually, I just got assigned to his case.
07:14Really?
07:15Yep.
07:17Wow.
07:20I'm really sorry.
07:22I know how important he was to you.
07:23I still can't believe he wrote me back about how he was fixing the solar array wing on the
07:27STS-126 mission.
07:30I really wanted to meet him.
07:32I know you did.
07:34And I wish you could have, because I bet you two have a lot in common.
07:39Do you know what happened?
07:42We're working on it.
07:44I don't understand.
07:45Teddy was so nice to everyone, and everyone loved him.
07:49I don't know why anyone would want to hurt him.
07:51That's what I'm going to find out.
08:03I mean, I pretty much promised him that we'd figure out what happened to Teddy.
08:07You know, losing our heroes can be tough, even if we never met him.
08:10Yeah, and he basically inherited my brain, so unless he gets some answers, he's never
08:14going to stop thinking about it.
08:16Let's get him some.
08:22LAPD.
08:23I'm assuming you're Christine?
08:25Yeah.
08:25We're looking for your roommate, Arden Prescott.
08:28Okay.
08:31Uh, she's not answering her cell phone, and we spoke to her parents.
08:34They don't know where she is, either.
08:35She's not here.
08:37You mind if we come in?
08:43Christine, when's the last time you saw Arden?
08:45Um, maybe, like, yesterday.
08:49So, did she sleep here last night?
08:50I don't know.
08:51Maybe.
08:52Any idea where she might be now?
08:54Look, she's just, like, my assigned roommate.
08:56I don't really know her that well, and I gotta get to class, so...
08:59Mind if we keep looking around?
09:01Knock yourselves out.
09:05Well, this place is gross.
09:07She would grab one of those hazmat suits from the crime scene.
09:09Christine could be hiding somebody.
09:11Nobody can be that oblivious.
09:12I don't know.
09:14Teenagers are pretty good at ignoring things.
09:17Judging by this room, the two are polar opposites, so I wouldn't be surprised if they never speak
09:21at all.
09:22How can you tell whose stuff is whose?
09:24Because of what we know about them already.
09:27Christine can't be bothered.
09:28She keeps to herself.
09:30So those are her noise-canceling headphones.
09:32Plus, you saw her sense of fashion.
09:33She's into anime.
09:35She loves fake nails.
09:36And then there's Arden, the performer.
09:39She works out.
09:41She posts online.
09:43And she sings.
09:47Which tells us that this is Arden's desk.
09:52Well, Morgan, keep your distance.
09:53There's an empty pie box in here.
09:55We'll get it over to forensics.
09:57You see anything else around here that would indicate why Arden might do this?
10:00No.
10:01But maybe she can.
10:03I recognize her from one of Arden's posts.
10:05That's Sister Lucy.
10:06She's her track and field coach.
10:08Yeah, also her choir director.
10:10Two of Arden's worlds in one.
10:11Hopefully, she's more helpful than their roommate.
10:15Singing, jogging, none?
10:17That's what I should have been.
10:28This meal is almost over, and I still don't know how you're going to fix this.
10:32I have two kids.
10:34And every time they turn on the TV...
10:35They hear their father's a crook.
10:37I know, it's awful.
10:39We will just go door to door and smash every television their friends own.
10:44Problem solved.
10:46Larry, don't lose your sense of humor.
10:48A bigger scandal's coming.
10:50You'll disappear.
10:52Willa Quinn, I'm Lieutenant Salina Soto with the LAPD.
10:56And yet here you are.
10:58Well, we're in the middle of a private...
10:59I'll be quick.
11:00I just need your help clearing some things up.
11:02Mmm.
11:04Well, you have to try this.
11:06It's a truffle moose.
11:08They train dogs in Alba to go and find the truffles.
11:13And then they wrap them in linen and ship them overnight.
11:18I'm good, thank you, Larry.
11:19Tell her it's a clean spoon.
11:20It's a clean spoon.
11:21I've already eaten.
11:25Well, I suppose you could have grabbed something quick when you changed planes in Dallas.
11:34Okay, what did you want to clear up?
11:35Sit.
11:37I think we should speak in private.
11:39Oh, honey.
11:40With the amount that I know about this one, he's not barking unless I tell him to.
11:45You already interrupted our lunch.
11:47Sit down.
11:53We've been investigating the disappearance of a man named Roman Sinquera.
11:57Your name came up.
11:58There's a woman in Florida, 27, with the same name.
12:02I'd start with her.
12:02I'm starting with you.
12:05Okay.
12:07Call my office and have them set up an appointment.
12:10Cleo hasn't returned my calls.
12:12Marvin, that's who you want to call me.
12:13I've already taken care of the check.
12:16I figured I needed to buy some time with you.
12:18It's pricey.
12:20But hopefully it'll be worth it.
12:26Now that is a strategic type of generosity.
12:30It's very New York.
12:33Let me guess.
12:34Um, Brooklyn?
12:37Sunset Park?
12:38Staten Island.
12:39Wrong bridge.
12:41Queens.
12:42I grew up in Corona.
12:44And now you're LAPD.
12:48We're a bit out of your jurisdiction.
12:54We already have someone in custody who's willing to talk.
12:58Eric Hayworth?
13:00So, if you're willing to tell us what you know,
13:04give me a call later tonight.
13:06I'm staying at the Wheaton.
13:09Enjoy the dog food.
13:14All right.
13:15We'll talk later.
13:16Wait.
13:18You said another scandal was going to...
13:20Check your phone, Larry.
13:26Wow.
13:26Wow.
13:29Uh, miss?
13:31The check?
13:44Talk screen's in.
13:46The pie contained VX nerve agent.
13:48No way.
13:49Mm-hmm.
13:50Like in The Rock?
13:52Nick Cage, Ed Harris.
13:53VX was a big part of that.
13:55Have you ever seen a movie?
13:58All I know is it's lethal.
13:59Exposure comes through inhalation of the skin,
14:01causes immediate paralysis and death.
14:03Not exactly the kind of thing you can buy on the street.
14:07Well, the nun's here.
14:08Maybe she can tell us where Arden got it.
14:10This is a weird case.
14:11Mm-hmm.
14:13None of this makes any sense.
14:15I've known Arden since her freshman year.
14:18She's a bit vain, but she'd never hurt a fly.
14:20She never mentioned anything about a teddy bar.
14:23Never.
14:25Any idea where Arden is now?
14:26No.
14:27You're a good nun, sister, because you're a pretty bad liar.
14:30What's your hands doing right now, covering your neck like that?
14:33It's something people, mostly women, do when they're uncomfortable.
14:35You know more than you're telling us, don't you?
14:37And it's killing you.
14:40On our way in here, we learned that a rare nerve agent was used to kill Teddy Barrow.
14:44If Arden was approached by foreign actors, maybe at an international track and field event,
14:49there are ways that we can help her.
14:50But only if she comes in.
14:53You have to tell us where she is.
15:04Arden?
15:08These people are from the police.
15:10Wait.
15:11You're turning me in?
15:14You said that you'd help me.
15:16She is helping you.
15:17Trust me.
15:17It's gonna go better this way.
15:20Hang on a second.
15:21Is this your backpack?
15:23Yeah.
15:25If I'm going on the run, I'm not exactly filling my go-bag with textbooks.
15:30You didn't know you were gonna be on the run when you left the room this morning.
15:33Sister Lucy says you didn't know what was in the pie.
15:35Is that true?
15:39I swear I didn't know.
15:40We still have to bring you in.
15:41Technically, you did kill Teddy Barrow.
15:44But I think somebody set you up.
15:53I've been trying to gain more followers, maybe a sponsor.
15:57So I started posting my training routine, diet, sometimes songs.
16:03And then I got this DM from a big viral video producer, Folly Box, saying he loved my stuff and
16:09he wanted me to do a video for his channel.
16:11He's got hundreds of prank videos.
16:13They get millions of views.
16:14Did you meet this Folly Box in person?
16:17No, just DMs.
16:18That's how it works.
16:20You know, Folly Box sends you a box.
16:21Like, with instructions, whatever outfit you have to wear.
16:25And you do it.
16:26No questions asked.
16:28Never checked if the person you were DMing with really was who they said they were.
16:32Detectives, I'm gonna advise my client to stop talking.
16:34Counsel, we're trying to help your client and the best way for her to help us do that is to
16:37cooperate.
16:42I think we can all assume at this point that it wasn't really the producer who contacted you.
16:46What was in the box you got?
16:49A pie, mask, gloves, a photo of the guy, and instructions weren't when to do it.
16:55It said hidden cameras would pick everything up.
16:57I didn't know the pie was poison.
16:59I'd never even heard of Teddy Barrow until it was all over the news.
17:03I didn't think anyone would believe me except for Sister Lucy.
17:07We need to hold you for a little while longer, but if your story checks out and you give us
17:11access to your accounts
17:12so we can track down this prank producer, I'll let the DA know you're being helpful.
17:18Sound good?
17:23She said my flight connected in Dallas, but that wasn't a guess.
17:27That lady knew I was coming.
17:29How?
17:30I'm not really sure.
17:31But I am telling you, we cannot underestimate her.
17:33Okay, here's what we're gonna do.
17:34First, you are ordering a bottle of wine.
17:36On me.
17:37Cheapest one is 110 bucks.
17:39First, you are cracking open those mixed nuts.
17:41On me.
17:43How is it I just met this woman and it already feels like she's one step ahead?
17:50Don't let her get in your head.
17:52She got lucky, that's all.
17:54You'll find a way to get her to talk.
17:55You always do.
18:07Oh, Soto.
18:09How are things going in New York?
18:12Pretty good, from as far as I could tell.
18:16Look, I get why you're not thrilled about me being in the Roman investigation.
18:21But the more I know, the more useful I can be to you.
18:26Yeah, I gotta say, I'm, um, having a hard time buying that based on everything you've done since you've been
18:33here.
18:36Yeah.
18:37That's fair.
18:40I like to be honest about it, but I'm not sure how little Ann.
18:43You want to take a crack at it?
18:47I come from a family where truth was something you negotiated.
18:54Okay.
18:55My dad used to say politicians and cops are the same animal in different collars.
18:59Both were good at smiling while they pocket the knife.
19:01You grow up around that, you develop some habits.
19:04So your dad was also super confusing when he spoke to people.
19:07Cool.
19:07Morgan, when I got here, I didn't know who to trust.
19:11I didn't know who was going to let me in or who was going to cut me out.
19:14Soto, Karadek, the whole pen, really.
19:16So I tested them.
19:18I rattled some cages to see what would give.
19:22You certainly did.
19:26And what'd you find?
19:28They're good people.
19:30I forgot some cops can be honest.
19:35Morgan, I did my own digging on Quinn.
19:39You need somebody who spent their whole life spotting the lie inside the lie.
19:50Gotta get back to work.
19:53I reached out to the FBI for some background.
19:55This isn't the first time VX has been used to kill someone like this.
19:592017.
20:00North Korean refugee, two women splashed him in the face.
20:03They thought it was a prank show.
20:05No one ever figured out who pulled the strings.
20:07That's such a weird way to kill someone.
20:09You think it's the same person?
20:10More likely, it's where our killer got the idea.
20:13Vero had more to share.
20:14Turn the page.
20:16Teddy Barrow logged a lot of time in Russia with cosmonauts.
20:19It's normal for astronauts, but some folks thought he was getting too comfortable.
20:23Maybe hearing and sharing some things he shouldn't.
20:28Are you okay?
20:29Yeah.
20:30Yeah, I'm okay.
20:31I'm just hoping I don't have to tell my kid his dead astronaut hero is shady.
20:36It's too late right now, but...
20:38What are you thinking?
20:39I'm thinking we need to talk to Teddy's fiancée, Heidi, again in the morning.
20:44See if she was engaged to a spy.
20:51See if she was engaged to a spy.
21:15How's the dress fit?
21:16Fine.
21:17Good.
21:18Don't remove the tags because I need you to return it on your way to the airport.
21:23Why am I here?
21:24Miss Quinn, a photo, please.
21:29I hate it when they do that.
21:32You have to be so careful who you're seeing with these days.
21:34Come, let's get a drink.
21:39Tonight is Lyme.
21:40Next month, pediatrics.
21:42Cancer in the wetlands.
21:44Each cause fighting for every dollar.
21:48None of which is why I'm here.
21:50Mm.
21:51Right, why are you here again?
21:53To look into Roman Sinchera's abduction.
21:57Don't mistake my silence for guilt, Lieutenant.
22:01Silence is a language for people who can afford not to explain themselves.
22:05Well, I got 25 years on the force.
22:08That says otherwise.
22:10I have zero to offer you.
22:12But I'm sure you didn't come all this way without doing your homework.
22:18Well, let's see.
22:19I know that you grew up in North Jersey.
22:22Oldest child of Meredith, a public school teacher, and Ray, who worked for an industrial laundry service.
22:28That's cute.
22:29Did you get that online?
22:32Did it also say that my dad believed in the value of labor and his word and the American dream?
22:42Not you?
22:43Well, he was on the job for 30 years.
22:45They cut back his hours.
22:46He lost his insurance.
22:48Then his union slow walked him to the grave.
22:51He died at 51 from a heart attack, shoveling snow in front of the house we were about to lose.
22:57My mom taught public school for 40 years, and she was devout.
23:04Never missed a mass.
23:05She prayed through my brother's leukemia.
23:09Then she prayed through her own cancer, lighting candles for a God that never answered.
23:14Why are you telling me this?
23:17Because my parents believed in rules that don't exist and systems that failed them.
23:23And justice doesn't show up because you deserve it.
23:29It's doled out by people in rooms like this.
23:39Well, if you've done this to impress me or scare me, then you didn't do your homework.
23:46I didn't come all this way to leave empty-handed.
23:50I will call Marvin and get some time on your schedule.
23:55Enjoy your party.
24:10And this is a flashlight from Apollo 13.
24:14Teddy said that it kept him humble.
24:16The biggest emergency he faced on the ISS was some broken plumbing, which isn't nothing,
24:21but those guys nearly died.
24:26Well, he certainly sounds like a wonderful man.
24:30And you're right, he was.
24:33Do you have any idea who could have done this?
24:36Not yet, but we wanted to ask you some questions about Teddy.
24:39Sure.
24:40Go ahead.
24:40It's early days, and we're just following leads.
24:42But the toxin that killed Teddy is a highly restricted nerve agent.
24:46The kind of thing that spies use on other spies.
24:49And you've heard about the suspicions from a few years ago.
24:51Yeah, that he was having secret meetings with the Russians.
24:54Is it true?
24:54I had the same worry, so I asked him about it.
24:58He told me that all he did was have dinner with some of his Russian counterparts.
25:02You think that's why he got killed?
25:04I mean, it could explain why things happened the way they did, and how whoever killed him
25:08had access to the nerve agent.
25:09Is this the speech he was planning on giving?
25:12Uh, I forgot I even had it.
25:15Who is Astromallus?
25:17They're an aerospace contractor.
25:19Why, did he mention them?
25:20Yeah, did you not read that?
25:21Oh, he does more than mention them.
25:23This speech basically endorses them to build the first commercial space station.
25:26How much do you think that contract would have been worth?
25:29Billions, I'm sure.
25:30And Teddy had Washington's ear, right?
25:32Weren't there some people floating in for Congress?
25:33They definitely listened to anything he had to say on space.
25:36So coming from him, this could highly influence whoever gets that contract.
25:39And who didn't.
25:40I don't think the timing of this attack was a coincidence at all.
25:43Someone did not want Teddy giving that speech.
25:45It's called the low-Earth orbit economy.
25:48They're saying it's the next gold rush.
25:49The ISS is going to be retired in a few years, and private companies are falling over each other
25:54to build replacements.
25:55Zero-G manufacturing.
25:56It's the new frontier.
25:57Everything from drugs to computers.
25:59It's a trillion-dollar industry.
26:01So you think somebody killed Teddy Barrow to stop him from backing one player?
26:05That's our current theory, yeah.
26:07Hmm.
26:07Well, who was on the losing end of that speech?
26:10Daphne and Oz are putting together a list.
26:11I'll keep you posted.
26:13Detective Karadik, before you go,
26:19I told Guillory I want to help with the Roman case.
26:21Hmm.
26:22I'm sorry I missed that.
26:26How do I get her to let me in?
26:28To the case?
26:30You don't get Morgan Guillory to do anything.
26:35I'm surprised you didn't know that by now.
26:43Lieutenant, you are persistent.
26:49Sit.
26:50Thank you, Cleo.
26:54I like you.
26:56You don't wait for permission.
26:58You get what you want.
26:59You get results.
27:00You are unapologetic, decisive.
27:04And you know how this city works under the surface,
27:06and not a lot of people do these days.
27:09I could use someone like you.
27:12Triple the pay.
27:13No red tape.
27:14No politics.
27:17You work fast.
27:19Things move with you.
27:21More reach.
27:22More change.
27:23I'm not here to be recruited.
27:25I'm here because 16 years ago,
27:27an FBI agent was murdered.
27:29Days later, a father disappeared,
27:32and a little girl grew up without him.
27:34And every step I've taken has led me here.
27:36To you.
27:41Well,
27:43I'm afraid you're on the wrong trail.
27:50We found this
27:51in a woman's backpack.
27:53Our techs have been working overtime
27:55extracting the data,
27:56but the day Roman was abducted,
27:58Hayworth was carrying this phone.
27:59And I'm guessing
28:01the information we extract from it
28:03will prove I'm on the right trail.
28:08I've been carrying that thing around with you
28:09this whole time.
28:13Now I have something to offer you.
28:16Come clean.
28:18Before we extract the data,
28:20the courts will see it as cooperation.
28:22Might treat you differently.
28:24Then you think that would matter to me.
28:27It should.
28:44I've got to be honest,
28:45I don't know anything about space stations,
28:47Mr. Bush I am,
28:48but these designs look very impressive.
28:51I mean,
28:51I know I'm biased,
28:52but I think they're the best in the business.
28:53How did it make you feel
28:55knowing Teddy Burrell disagreed?
28:58Did he?
28:59I didn't know.
29:00Yeah,
29:00he was about to endorse Astromolis.
29:02You're not Astromolis,
29:04you're Galaxy Ark.
29:06I would have given a leg up
29:07on building the next space station.
29:08And driven investments away from you.
29:11So when you asked me to come in
29:13saying you had questions about Teddy,
29:14you meant you think
29:15I had him killed.
29:19The trouble with your theory
29:20is until just now,
29:22I didn't know Teddy
29:22was planning to endorse anyone.
29:24Well,
29:24the speech he was about to give
29:26was publicly promoted.
29:27True.
29:29But did anyone see
29:30the content of his speech?
29:32As far as I know,
29:33no one did.
29:34And I promise you,
29:34I would have heard.
29:35Speaking as someone
29:36who knows how bad
29:37this can be,
29:37detectives,
29:38I think your theory
29:39has a hole in it.
29:51How we doing?
29:54I'm fine.
29:55I don't know how you're doing.
29:57I just got off the phone
29:59with the organizers
29:59from the symposium
30:00Teddy Burrell was supposed
30:01to speak at.
30:02They backed what the guy
30:03Galaxy Ark said.
30:04Teddy didn't share his speech
30:05ahead of time with them
30:06and as far as they know,
30:07not anyone else.
30:08When you spoke to Heidi,
30:09she said she didn't know
30:10Teddy planned that
30:10endorsement either, right?
30:12Any chance she was lying?
30:13Maybe she's in
30:14a rival bidder's pocket.
30:15If anyone knew,
30:16it had to be her.
30:17We considered that,
30:18checked her financials,
30:19but weren't able to find
30:20any connections
30:20between her and those companies.
30:22Also, I just got a call
30:22from Heidi.
30:23She wanted us to know
30:24that tomorrow she's
30:24going to be giving
30:25Teddy's speech.
30:27Why?
30:28What, she wants
30:28to continue his work,
30:29tell the world
30:30who he planned on endorsing?
30:31That's the idea.
30:32Well, that probably rules
30:33her out as a suspect,
30:35at least on financial motive.
30:36Why kill him
30:37only to deliver it herself?
30:38Yeah, but hold on a second.
30:39Teddy got killed
30:40because he was planning
30:41on giving this speech.
30:42If she wants to tell
30:43the world she's
30:43going to deliver it too,
30:45that paints a target
30:46on her back.
30:59You think that
31:00if I give this speech,
31:01it'll put me in danger?
31:02We certainly think
31:03it's possible,
31:03which is why we'd like
31:04you to hold off,
31:04at least until we find
31:05Teddy's color.
31:07So you don't want
31:08to do that?
31:09No.
31:10I want to honor
31:11Teddy's memory
31:12and share with the world
31:13what he believed in.
31:14It's my decision, right?
31:15Then we'll do everything
31:16we can to protect you.
31:17But you understand
31:18the risks.
31:20Neither of you
31:21ever met Teddy,
31:22did you?
31:23I didn't,
31:23but I do have to admit
31:25my son might be
31:27his biggest fan,
31:28so I kind of feel
31:29like I knew him.
31:31I told you
31:32that he finally
31:32proposed to me,
31:33but I don't think
31:34I told you how.
31:36He drove us all night
31:38to find my favorite
31:39constellation.
31:40You can only see it
31:41a few times a year,
31:42and there are really
31:43only a few places
31:44that you can see it.
31:46He, of course,
31:46had a million things
31:47that he should have
31:48been doing,
31:48but that was Teddy.
31:50Once he set his mind
31:51to something,
31:52there was no stopping him.
31:54I don't want this
31:55to stop the work
31:56that he believed in either.
31:58Then you're delivering
31:59his speech verbatim.
32:00Yeah, I did a little
32:02cleanup and added
32:03a statement of my own
32:04at the end.
32:05You mind if we get
32:05a copy of your
32:06latest draft?
32:06That'll help us
32:07plan your protection,
32:08follow along.
32:09Sure.
32:10Wait here.
32:11Uh, there's something
32:11else I want to give you,
32:12too.
32:17You want to see
32:18if she changed
32:19his speech?
32:20Well, if she's really
32:20reading his words,
32:22then she's not the one
32:22who wanted to stop it.
32:23I don't have a full take
32:25on this lady yet,
32:25but she does seem
32:26like she really
32:27loved the guy.
32:32Here's the speech,
32:35and this is
32:36for your son.
32:39That toy shares
32:40Teddy's record number
32:41of hours in space.
32:42You brought it with him
32:43on every mission.
32:44No way.
32:45Yeah, he called it
32:46his zero gravity
32:47indicator.
32:48The second he saw
32:49that lion floating
32:50around in front of him,
32:51he knew that the launch
32:52was a success.
32:55He'd want your son
32:56to have it.
32:57This is...
32:59This is really
33:00incredible.
33:06Oh my God,
33:07it's Ziggy.
33:08Ziggy?
33:09ZGI.
33:10Teddy borrows
33:10zero gravity
33:11indicator.
33:11Okay, so you've
33:12heard of it apparently.
33:13Yeah, I mean,
33:14he posts about it
33:14all the time.
33:16Here.
33:18This thing's
33:19been in space.
33:20Yeah, a whole lot
33:21apparently.
33:22I need to find
33:22a special spot for this.
33:26You know,
33:26I'm still going to try
33:27and figure out
33:27what happened to him.
33:28I know.
33:29You'll do it.
33:38What's with the pen?
33:39What pen?
33:40He's holding a pen
33:41in his hand,
33:41in the same hand
33:42in every picture
33:43for like a month.
33:49And he was
33:49holding it
33:50on the day
33:50he died.
33:51Maybe it was
33:51his back
33:52to gravity
33:52indicator?
33:53Or maybe
33:54it was an
33:54indicator
33:55of something
33:55else.
34:01I didn't expect
34:02to see you back.
34:03I heard Elliot
34:03got a special gift.
34:05How's he like it?
34:05It's his new
34:06favorite thing
34:06and I think
34:07he got a present
34:08for us.
34:08Can I see both
34:09versions of Teddy's
34:10speech?
34:10Uh, sure.
34:12This is the one
34:12that Teddy was
34:13going to give
34:13and this is
34:15Heidi's edited draft.
34:16Okay, and Heidi
34:17said she wanted
34:17to make a couple
34:18of corrections,
34:19right?
34:19Yeah, odd words
34:20here and there.
34:21Spear, where it
34:22should say spacecraft,
34:23cabinet, where it
34:23should say capsule.
34:24We circled them.
34:25But everything
34:25that matters is the
34:26same.
34:27What do we think
34:27those were?
34:28Autocorrect errors?
34:29Autocoded message?
34:30Maybe Teddy was
34:30a spy after all.
34:32No, I think
34:33it was something else.
34:35See, there's a
34:35pattern to the
34:36swapped words.
34:41Spacecraft
34:42becoming spear.
34:44Capsule becoming
34:44cabinet.
34:46Helmet becoming
34:47hard hat.
34:48They all sound
34:48familiar, but it's
34:49more than that.
34:50They're objects
34:50with similar shapes
34:51and functions,
34:52like someone playing
34:53some sort of word
34:54association without
34:55even knowing it.
34:56And if I'm right,
34:57Heidi is perfectly
34:58safe to give this
34:59speech.
35:02I swear I didn't
35:03know.
35:04I want to honor
35:05Teddy's memory and
35:06share with the
35:07world what he
35:07believed in.
35:08Why?
35:09What makes you
35:09think that?
35:10Because I know
35:11what this murder
35:11was about.
35:21We just want to go
35:22over the security
35:22plan before heading
35:23over so you know
35:24what to expect.
35:25Of course.
35:26And again, I
35:26appreciate it.
35:27Please, have a seat.
35:29We read your added
35:30statement at the end,
35:31how Teddy dedicated
35:32his life to exploration
35:33and how not even death
35:34should be able to stop
35:35his mission.
35:36It was beautiful.
35:38Thanks.
35:39I mean, you can really
35:40feel how important it
35:40is to you to continue
35:41Teddy's legacy.
35:42It is.
35:43Yep.
35:44Important enough that
35:45you killed him to
35:45protect it.
35:47As soon as you left
35:48to come here, we
35:48executed a search
35:49warrant at your home.
35:50We found a different
35:51speech on Teddy's
35:52computer than the one
35:53you were about to read,
35:55the speech he'd
35:56actually decided to give.
35:57Teddy was going to
35:57tell the world that he'd
35:58recently been diagnosed
36:00with brain cancer,
36:01most likely from radiation
36:03he was exposed to in
36:04space.
36:05Obviously, he couldn't
36:06be sure if that was
36:07the cause, but regardless,
36:09he felt the responsibility
36:10to reverse his position
36:11publicly, put a freeze
36:13on private development
36:14and stop sending people
36:15into space without
36:16greater safety measures.
36:17Yeah, the clues were
36:18all there.
36:19I just didn't know
36:19what they meant at first.
36:20About a month ago,
36:21Teddy started holding
36:22a pen in his hand
36:23all the time.
36:24Now, people who develop
36:25a tremor sometimes do
36:26that to help stop
36:27the hand from shaking.
36:28And all those wrong
36:29words in his speech,
36:30that's a symptom of
36:31anomic aphasia,
36:32an erosion of his
36:33language skills.
36:34It took us a minute
36:35to understand why you
36:36chose to kill him
36:37the way you did
36:37and how you got
36:38the VX nerve agent.
36:40Then those two questions
36:41answered each other.
36:42Our captain knows
36:43someone who works at
36:44NASA.
36:45It turns out they are
36:46researching an antidote
36:48to VX in zero gravity,
36:50sending up samples
36:51to the International
36:52Space Station,
36:53so as a member
36:53of the ground team,
36:55you would have had
36:55access to steal some.
36:57Teddy must have told
36:58you about the new
36:58speech a few weeks back.
37:00Figured you tried to
37:01talk him out of it,
37:02but once he set his
37:02mind to something,
37:03there was no stopping
37:04him.
37:04Those are your words,
37:05not mine.
37:06You picked Arden
37:07because she was
37:07desperate enough for
37:08views and athletic
37:09enough to pull it off.
37:10You copied the profile
37:11of a prank video producer,
37:13you bought a bunch
37:14of followers,
37:15and you made Arden
37:15think that she was
37:16signing up to create
37:17content when really
37:19she was committing
37:19a crime.
37:20She's being released,
37:21by the way.
37:22The parents are taking
37:22her home and her name
37:23will be cleared.
37:29The diagnosis
37:30changed Teddy.
37:31He only had a few
37:32months to live.
37:34In some ways,
37:35that made him
37:35embrace life more.
37:37That's why he suddenly
37:38proposed to you, right?
37:41But then,
37:42his new stance
37:43on space research,
37:46that wasn't the Teddy
37:47I knew.
37:49That speech would have
37:50undone everything
37:51that he'd accomplished.
37:53And if he were still
37:54himself, then he'd
37:56never have made it.
37:57Pushing space exploration
37:59forward was his life's
38:01mission.
38:03He was dying anyway,
38:06and he was going to
38:07ruin his legacy.
38:11I loved him so much.
38:15He needed me to save him
38:16from himself.
38:19Heidi Troy,
38:20you are under arrest
38:21for the murder of
38:22Teddy Barr.
38:25Let's go, man.
38:31Night, Morgan.
38:40Hey,
38:42I'm submitting a warrant
38:43to the DA to look
38:44into Quinn International.
38:46You talked to Soda?
38:47I did.
38:48She's on her way
38:48back to L.A.
38:49Willa didn't give her
38:50much.
38:51Not surprised.
38:52But if we don't do
38:53something big like this,
38:54I don't think you're
38:55ever going to find out
38:56what really happened
38:56to Roman.
38:57If it gets us
38:58what we want, great.
38:59And if it doesn't,
39:00we'll think of
39:01something else.
39:04Why are you doing this?
39:06Because it's the right
39:07thing to do.
39:11And I want to help.
39:12It's too late to go
39:13and get to it.
39:15So I'm gonna live
39:17in my bed.
39:19Are you getting on?
39:20No, I need to finish
39:21some things up.
39:24Have a good night,
39:25Morgan.
39:27Good night, Captain.
39:39We've got movement.
39:41DAs on both coasts
39:42are reviewing everything.
39:43Perfect.
39:44Let me know what they find.
39:46And prep Eric Hayworth
39:47for another interview at...
39:53Lieutenant.
39:57Lieutenant?
40:01I'm not your friend
40:03or anything, damn.
40:06You think that you're the man
40:08I think that for I am.
40:43So fast-er!
40:46Ha!
40:47Stop!
