00:00A-pa-da-pa-da, a-pa-da-pa-da, uh, uh-huh, uh-huh
00:04Kissy face, kissy face, fancy phone, but
00:07Come give me something I can feel, oh-oh-oh
00:10Don't you want me like I want you, baby
00:13All you gotta do is just meet me, ever
00:17A-pa-da-pa-da, a-pa-da-pa-da, a-pa-da-da
00:22Hey, good morning.
00:23Morning.
00:24How you doing? You good?
00:25Morning.
00:26What can I get you?
00:28Miss?
00:29Are you okay?
00:32Oh, my gosh!
00:34Uh, help! Help somebody, please!
00:55Good morning.
00:56Can't believe I worked on that stupid thing for two weeks.
00:59Paul Cézanne hated everything he ever painted, and he's considered one of the greats.
01:03Yeah, after he died.
01:04Well, he worked on the large bathers for seven years.
01:06I don't have years.
01:08I have art school reps coming to my showcase soon, and I've literally got nothing.
01:12You have a couple days.
01:14Plus, I really like what you've done so far.
01:15You're my mom.
01:16You're supposed to love it.
01:17That is not true.
01:19That textile thing you did was boring.
01:21And a little derivative.
01:22Okay.
01:23Uh, why don't you go and pack your bag for your dad's house?
01:26Okay.
01:28Art isn't, like, your job, Mom.
01:30I don't just get to look around and, like, notice things.
01:34It's a little more than that, but okay.
01:35I have to come up with something completely original.
01:38Something so undeniable it stands out.
01:40So, if I don't, then I might not get another shot at being noticed or getting a scholarship.
01:45Hey, listen.
01:45I lived with an artist before you came along, remember?
01:48Your dad used to fill up so many garbage cans with some really beautiful stuff that he thought was trash.
01:54You know, the points where he was the most frustrated and he was about to give up?
01:58That's usually when he would come up with something very special.
02:00And you will, too.
02:03But you can't give up.
02:07Okay, okay.
02:07I got it.
02:08What if your final showcase piece is the trash can full of your art?
02:14Okie doke.
02:15Uh, I've got an idea.
02:16How about over the next couple days, you want to talk to your sister, you just run it by me
02:19first, okay?
02:20Roshanberg would have called that a finished piece.
02:22I know.
02:22Have a wonderful day.
02:23I love you.
02:23I love you, too.
02:26No, I'm saying if you want to judge my lavender oat milk latte, you should at least try it first.
02:32No, I don't think so.
02:33So, lavender is for soap, not for sipping.
02:35Oh, thank God.
02:37You know, you really didn't have to drive me.
02:39You were on the way.
02:44You're welcome.
02:50Yeah.
02:51Yeah, I can head right over.
02:53Just shoot me the address.
02:57Oh, I'm already there.
03:01Okay.
03:04Oh, what's going on here?
03:06Bring your girlfriend to work day?
03:08Lucia's one of the managers here.
03:09She handles all their VIP guests.
03:10She want to comp me a room sometime?
03:12I'll ask her.
03:13Really?
03:15Everyone's on fire this morning.
03:17Major Crime's got the call because she's high profile.
03:19She is?
03:20Who is she?
03:22Vera Hensley from The Big Fix with Vera and Frank.
03:25I've never seen it.
03:26It's a husband and wife team.
03:27They repair houses, do renovations, things like that.
03:29Oh, well, I've got three kids.
03:31I don't really have time to build my own deck.
03:33She's not exactly dressed for a pool day.
03:35What's she doing out here?
03:36I talked to a few hotel guests who said she was already laying here when they came up this morning.
03:40So you think she's been here all night?
03:41Maybe she stumbled out here drunk, fell in the pool and hit her head.
03:44No.
03:45Look at her hair.
03:46It's styled.
03:49I mean, it's frizzy.
03:50I agree it got wet, but you ever seen a woman come out of the water?
03:54It'd be all plastered to the side of her face, not round and bouncy.
03:58Didn't rain last night.
03:59So how'd she get wet?
04:05Sprinklers.
04:07Yeah, they probably run at night when the guests aren't around,
04:09which means there was no one here to witness her attack.
04:12That's assuming that it happened here.
04:13Well, if she was killed somewhere else,
04:15we better find out where before Vera's killer has time to clean it up.
04:20Vera Hensley?
04:21Yes, anything you can tell us.
04:22Her room number, when she checked in.
04:24Well, she's not staying here.
04:25But her husband, Frank Hensley, is a DNA guest.
04:30Do not announce.
04:32Very high profile.
04:33Only essential staff have access.
04:35He's been staying in the penthouse, checked in a few days ago.
04:40Okay, give us one of those master key cards.
04:42We're going to go snoop around his room.
04:44We'll knock.
04:45Can you access cameras?
04:46We only have cameras by the pool, the elevator, and the lobby, but I...
04:50Huh.
04:51That's weird.
04:52These cameras were turned off last night.
04:55Off or erased?
04:57I wouldn't know.
04:58I'm disrelations.
04:59I'll put our IT team on it.
05:00Let's go talk to your VIP.
05:04Vera and I were never apart.
05:06We live together.
05:07We work together.
05:09Our show is our life.
05:11Is it true you guys met at a hardware store?
05:13You watch the show?
05:15My girlfriend and I are moving into a place that needs a bit of work, and a big fix taught
05:19me a lot.
05:20Our first place together was a two-bedroom house off Van Ness.
05:23Crooked floors, no storage, no light.
05:26Every project started as a problem that Vera and I couldn't afford to ignore.
05:30Can I ask what time two of you went to bed last night?
05:32Vera wasn't staying here.
05:34So this isn't her bra?
05:41I invited some friends over last night.
05:43I guess it got kind of wild.
05:46Mr. Hensley, if Vera wasn't here with you last night, why was she at the hotel?
05:49I wish I knew.
05:51Okay.
05:52So where's the lamp?
05:54And the brass candle holders and the stone bookend.
06:00I don't know.
06:04So his wife dies in the same hotel he's staying in and he never saw her?
06:08Please.
06:09Sounds like Vera found out that Frank was here partying, confronted him, and things got out of hand.
06:12Okay, so why aren't we bringing him in?
06:14Because we need evidence.
06:14Right now we can't even prove that Vera came up to this floor.
06:16Whoa, whoa, whoa.
06:19Uh, that'll do it.
06:24Yeah, they're taking me in right now.
06:28Where'd you park?
06:29On the street.
06:30Like the sane person.
06:31You think I'm paying hotel prices?
06:33We reimburse.
06:34You do?
06:34Hey, save the receipt, fill out an expense report.
06:36Uh, no, forget it.
06:37You lost me.
06:38Bye.
06:42Have a seat.
06:44It's not too late.
06:45We can be together where there are no cities.
06:47Just seasons and frosty trees.
06:51Oh boy.
06:58I know.
07:00It's terrible.
07:01Try not to worry too much.
07:02I love you.
07:03Bye.
07:04Bye.
07:08Everything okay?
07:09Hmm?
07:10Yeah.
07:10Lucia's just having a hard time.
07:12With what?
07:13Uh, with the murder at her hotel.
07:16Most people don't show up to work expecting to see a dead body.
07:18Right.
07:19Just last week I was watching Vera and Frank put together a banquette,
07:22and now we're trying to find out if he killed her.
07:26This is new.
07:28Oh.
07:29Yeah.
07:30It's a gift from Lucia.
07:32It's, uh, gypsum sand.
07:34She said it's rare.
07:36Like what we have.
07:40She's right.
07:41It is rare.
07:45I loved Vera.
07:46The kind of love where you rent out the penthouse suite to hook up with other women, right?
07:49No.
07:50So the bra was yours?
07:51We checked your records, right?
07:53This wasn't the first time you wanted to fly solo, was it?
07:55But you thought what she didn't know wouldn't hurt her.
07:56Only she did find out about the women, the lies, the partying.
08:00You went behind her back while telling the world that you loved her.
08:02I did.
08:03Vera and I were always honest with each other.
08:05Okay?
08:06I don't know what she was doing in that hotel.
08:07I didn't even see her.
08:09Okay, so you're cheating on your wife in the same hotel.
08:11I heard Lucia works at that hotel.
08:13Small world.
08:15Yeah.
08:16I guess.
08:17Being a happy couple that you see on TV, fixing houses, that was our brand.
08:22Okay?
08:22That wasn't who we were.
08:23Not always.
08:24Sometimes, look, we like to do our own thing.
08:28As far as I know, having a good time is not a crime.
08:31No, it is not.
08:31But knocking your wife out when she walks in on you with another woman and then moving
08:34her dead body so you can clean up the evidence, that would be a crap.
08:37My client said enough.
08:39Call us when you actually have something.
08:46The bloody fingerprint on the elevator button matches Vera's blood and print.
08:50So we know Vera went up to the penthouse.
08:52That means Frank either wasn't there at the same time or he's lying about not having
08:55seen her.
08:55I checked the hotel records.
08:56Frank and Vera had a joint account at the Blackwell Hotel.
08:59So if one of them booked a hotel room, the other would receive a digital key on their
09:02phone automatically.
09:03Then maybe Vera saw where Frank was and wasn't as happy about his partying as he wants us
09:07to believe.
09:08Okay, and what about the items that were missing from the hotel room?
09:11Yes.
09:12We found them in the hotel dumpster and pieces on the penthouse floor.
09:15Looks like there was a fight and someone tried to clean up.
09:18But there was one item we couldn't find anywhere.
09:21The Emmy says Vera's head wound is consistent with the shape and size of that bookend.
09:26So we know what the murder weapon was, but we don't know where it is.
09:29Tell me the hotel cameras caught something.
09:31CCU is still working on it, but we should know soon.
09:33Did you talk to the people Frank was partying with?
09:35Yeah.
09:35He gave us four names, all friends.
09:38Most of them worked for him.
09:39His manager, Aaron Rothman.
09:41One of his producers, Lois Mandel.
09:44His stylist, Talia Cruz.
09:45And last, his best friend from college, Boyd Hollis.
09:49Do we think they're covering for him?
09:51Well, if they worked for him, they have financial motives to keep Vera from going public about
09:54Frank's indiscretions.
09:56Boyd took some photos of their party last night.
10:01Wait a second.
10:05Who's this guy?
10:08None of Frank's friends mentioned anyone else being around last night, did they?
10:12And you've never seen him before?
10:14No.
10:15You guys?
10:16Maybe someone at the hotel knows who he is?
10:19Morgan and I'll go back.
10:20We can check with Lucia.
10:21Maybe ask around.
10:25Can you get that?
10:27Kind of thought it was decorative.
10:31Hello?
10:32Morgan.
10:33This is Willa Quinn.
10:35What do you want?
10:37To warn you about the danger you're headed into.
10:41Believe it or not, I'm not your enemy.
10:42I'm the person that warns you before the enemy reaches you.
10:46The way it reached Eric Hayworth?
10:48I think we both know that wasn't a suicide.
10:51There's no way to catch up when the people that are helping you are helping me, too.
10:56Back off, Morgan.
10:57If you want to threaten me, I think you should come and do it to my faith.
10:59Did she just hang up on me?
11:06Willa said the people helping you are helping her, too.
11:09Those were her exact words.
11:11Yeah.
11:13So either she's got someone working for her in the precinct, or she wants me to think that she does.
11:18What?
11:21Willa was seen leaving the Beverly Palms Country Club with Nick Wagner Sr., Captain Wagner's father.
11:27Well, do we know why?
11:29No.
11:29A while back, the captain flat out asked me how to get you to let him in on the Roman
11:33investigation,
11:33so I think we need to consider the possibility that both Wagners are working with Willa.
11:40Does he know we know this?
11:42Soto asked him about his involvement.
11:43He denies having any.
11:47Thank you for telling me.
11:53Does he look familiar?
11:54Yeah.
11:55He's a guest.
11:57Or was.
11:58He checked out a few minutes ago.
11:59Hmm.
12:00Uh, Charles Hale.
12:03Yep.
12:03That's him.
12:04Got a phone number?
12:07Uh-huh.
12:08Thanks.
12:13You're here for Detective Carradine?
12:15Charles.
12:16Thanks for coming in.
12:18Right this way.
12:20Plane leaves in a few hours.
12:22This won't take long.
12:24Please have a seat.
12:25Just a few questions.
12:27It's my understanding you're staying at the Blackwell Hotel, correct?
12:29Yeah.
12:30Is this about Vera Hensley?
12:32It is.
12:32How do you know her husband?
12:33I don't.
12:34Met him at the hotel bar.
12:36Recognize him from the Big Fix.
12:37Hmm.
12:37Figured, what the hell?
12:39Say hi.
12:40Then he introduced me to all his friends.
12:43Was Vera with him?
12:44No.
12:45Did you hear or see anything that would make you think that Frank or his friends might want
12:49to hurt Vera if she were there?
12:51No.
12:53But there was a guy.
12:55Forties.
12:56White.
12:57He was on his own.
12:58He was looking for her.
12:59He gave me a bad vibe.
13:01Did you get a good look at this guy?
13:03Enough to give us a description.
13:05Hmm.
13:11Hey.
13:12Hey.
13:14There you are.
13:16I was looking for you.
13:17Yeah, I figured we should probably talk.
13:21Which thing would you like to start with?
13:26Are you working with your father and Willa Quinn?
13:30No.
13:31Absolutely not.
13:35I believe you.
13:36Good.
13:38My subpoena to search Willa's office in New York got shut down.
13:41But I'm not done trying.
13:43Well, I had an idea.
13:45Only I can't do it.
13:47And you should certainly not get caught doing it.
13:55Okay.
13:56You got it.
13:59Well, I'll circle back to the other thing later.
14:02I'll look forward to it.
14:09Sorry.
14:10Sorry.
14:11You burned the house down yet?
14:12Thought about it.
14:14Can't figure out what you want to do still?
14:15I actually have one idea.
14:18But you might not like it.
14:20You don't have to like it?
14:21Well, that box of all that stuff that you keep in your closet.
14:26Could I use it?
14:27For what?
14:28I don't know yet.
14:28But I promise I'll take good care of it.
14:31Ava, listen.
14:32I saved all that stuff for you, okay?
14:33You do whatever you want with it.
14:35Really?
14:36Yeah.
14:37That's it.
14:37Don't touch anything else in my closet, okay?
14:40Gotta go.
14:40I'll see you soon.
14:49We think this is our guy?
14:51No, we showed the sketch to Frank's friends, but none of them saw him.
14:53So, we're sending it over to hotel staff.
14:55Maybe we get lucky.
14:57Well, wait a sec.
14:59I've seen those eyes before.
15:02As much as I'd love to put Vera's killer together piece by piece, unfortunately, Morgan, we're not playing Mr. Potato
15:06Head.
15:08Yeah?
15:09Well, maybe we should be.
15:12You're telling me that's not the exact same mouth?
15:15And her nose and beauty mark?
15:18And her eyes and ears and this guy's forehead?
15:22The reason no one's seen our mystery man is because he doesn't exist.
15:26Charles just Frankensteined a bunch of features from Frank's friends together and we drew a picture about it.
15:32Where is he?
15:32He's gone.
15:33We had no reason to hold it.
15:35He's not answering.
15:37Daphne's got something for us.
15:39CCU was able to recover some footage from the Blackwell elevators off the hotel computer.
15:43I'm just looking through it.
15:44Emmy places Vera's death between two and four in the morning.
15:47Start looking around there.
15:48Okay.
15:48If she was killed in the penthouse, I don't think he'd wait to bring her to the pool.
15:51Here's something.
15:53Okay, you could fit a body in that cart.
16:20All right.
16:21Lucia's on the way.
16:22I told her we have some questions about the investigation.
16:25I have something I need to tell you guys.
16:27I probably should have mentioned it earlier.
16:30What is it?
16:32This morning I saw Lucia and Charles Hale together.
16:35They were having a conversation.
16:40A conversation?
16:41Yeah, I couldn't really make out what they were saying.
16:43It was something about no cities, just seasons and frosty trees.
16:47I don't know.
16:48I couldn't make sense of it.
16:49All I can tell you is it didn't make me feel good because they were very friendly.
16:56Well, Morgan, Lucia works for the hotel and she talks to lots of the guests.
17:02You think that Lucia is involved with the man who may have killed Vera Hensley?
17:07Look, I don't want to be right about this.
17:08Well, that's good, Morgan, because you are not.
17:11Look, Lucia's not seeing this man or involved with this investigation when she comes and we can ask her.
17:16Adam, I don't think you should be the one conducting this interview.
17:19Well, then watch me.
17:21The moment you see something you don't like, pull me out.
17:29I've never been in here before.
17:31Yeah, we don't use it very often.
17:34You have kids' toys.
17:36That's so nice.
17:38Well, with kids, you want them to feel comfortable, safe, you know, try to make a bad situation a little
17:43better.
17:44Careful.
17:45You make a great dad talking like that.
17:49So, how can I help you with your case?
17:53You got called into work pretty late last night.
17:55I did.
17:56What did they call you to the hotel for?
17:58Apparently, Frank Hensley's party got a little out of hand.
18:01What did you find when you got there?
18:02Between you and me?
18:04A mess.
18:05Some of the items in the room were even broken.
18:08I just cleaned it up, took it with me, and left.
18:10How'd you get the stuff out?
18:11I put it all in a hotel meal cart, rolled it right onto the elevator.
18:18Adam, what's going on?
18:19Wait, are people watching us right now?
18:22Yeah.
18:22This is a murder investigation.
18:24And if I wasn't asking the questions, someone else would be.
18:28When you got to the penthouse, who was there?
18:31No one.
18:32And how well do you know Charles Hale?
18:35Mr. Hale does a lot of business in L.A.
18:37He stays at the Blackwell when he's in town.
18:39What else do you know about him?
18:40I don't do background checks on my guests, Adam.
18:43Well, the thing is, when we showed you his photo, you neglected to mention that he had been there before.
18:48Well, our guests expect discretion.
18:50If I had felt there was something important, I would have told you.
18:53We believe Vera Hensley was killed in the penthouse by Frank or Charles and then moved to the pool.
18:58And the only person that was in the elevator around her time of death was you.
19:04You think I took a dead woman downstairs in a hotel meal cart?
19:08No.
19:10But it is my job to figure out who did.
19:12Well, it's funny how your job seems to keep coming in between us.
19:15But this, this, I did not see coming.
19:19We're looking for Charles right now.
19:21Do you have any idea where he might be?
19:22How would I know that?
19:23I don't know him.
19:24Then, what were you guys talking about on the street this morning?
19:32Businessmen like Charles are the type of VIPs we want coming back to the Blackwell.
19:36So that means sometimes I have to be a little friendly.
19:38And sometimes, a man like Charles can take that the wrong way.
19:41And when it happens, I make sure the line is clear.
19:45But Charles was...
19:48Trying to cross that line?
19:50First, he asked me for restaurant recommendations.
19:54Then he invited me to join.
19:56And I said no.
19:58And I said no again.
20:00And he followed me out onto the street.
20:02And I told him to never come back.
20:05I'm sorry that happened.
20:10Maybe I should have told you.
20:11I just...
20:12I didn't want you to worry.
20:19They'll walk you out.
20:20That's okay.
20:22I'm on my way out.
20:27Charles told me he's flying out today, so we're checking manifests.
20:29You didn't ask about the No City's Frosty Trees thing.
20:32That's what Charles said to her.
20:33That's what you thought you heard.
20:35Hey, Morgan.
20:35We already know Charles is lying.
20:37Do you have any reason to believe that Lucia is lying, too?
20:42Lying is a really strong word.
20:44But, yeah, I think there's something she's not telling us.
20:48What I saw was a woman whose boyfriend was accusing her of being involved in someone's murder.
20:52I can't imagine what that must have been like for her.
20:54I know what it was like for me, though.
20:55I'm going to get an update from Daphne and Oz.
21:01Hey.
21:02You want me to be honest with you, right?
21:04I just think it would be smart to bring her back in and ask a couple more questions.
21:07That's not your call, Morgan.
21:08Sorry.
21:09I know this is uncomfortable for you, okay?
21:11Soto could talk to her, or you know what?
21:13I'd be happy to do...
21:14Do you want Lucia to be guilty of something?
21:17What does that mean?
21:19Where are we at with Charles Hale?
21:20Still monitoring the cell number he gave the hotel.
21:22No location yet.
21:23I hope you know.
21:24Know what?
21:25Is everything okay?
21:26I get that this is hard for you, but you and I both know that if it was anyone else
21:30in that room,
21:31you would be asking tougher questions.
21:33Are you accusing me of not doing my job?
21:34It's not just your job.
21:35This is personal.
21:36I know exactly what this is.
21:38And I don't need you managing me.
21:41I am not one of your kids, Morgan, so stop treating me like one.
22:15We need someone who's familiar with the levers of government and actually knows how to use them.
22:27Excuse me one minute.
22:30Ms. Quinn and I do tend to move in similar circles, if that's what you're after.
22:34That job that you had me offer, Morgan, didn't come from you, did it?
22:37It's okay.
22:38No offense taken.
22:39It's nice to be wanted.
22:40Uh, speaking of Willa, should we hunt around, see if we can go find her here, or would you rather
22:47just make a phone call?
22:54I see you've decided not to take my advice.
22:58What a shame.
22:59No, a shame is my daughter losing out on 15 years with her father.
23:03And that look on your face.
23:06Okay.
23:08I'm here.
23:11What do you want to say?
23:12This will just take a minute.
23:13You know, when I was growing up, my father liked telling people he was self-made, got there on merit.
23:19Which wasn't true.
23:21There were people in your way who suddenly lost credibility, jobs, everything.
23:25Some of them even disappeared.
23:27And back then, I didn't understand.
23:29Now I do.
23:32Who's you?
23:34Well, you're right.
23:35I've helped your father.
23:37I've made introductions.
23:38I've given advice, sometimes quietly.
23:41That's what I do.
23:42I'm willing to expose all of it.
23:44Every ugly detail.
23:45You can't prove any of it.
23:47Oh, I think actually we can.
23:52Detailed logs of all of your calls, texts, and emails over the last year or so.
23:57Technology really is incredible, isn't it?
23:59You would not believe how many incriminating documents you can cram onto something this tiny.
24:04Well, if it's even real.
24:06Oh, it's real.
24:07The guy we met on our last case gave us an assist.
24:10Decent bowler.
24:11Great hacker.
24:12That's fraud.
24:13Felony.
24:14Inmissible.
24:14Oh, absolutely.
24:15Highly illegal.
24:16The courts would never allow it.
24:18But the press will.
24:19You would really destroy your father's life like this?
24:22Oh, I wouldn't worry so much about him.
24:24There's lots of stuff about you on this file.
24:25I find that highly doubtful.
24:28Mr. Wagner and I don't keep up much with correspondence.
24:31No, you don't.
24:32But he really loves bragging to his high-powered friends about his connections to you.
24:35You can't shut up about it.
24:36This is your leverage?
24:38Well, if it isn't, you have nothing to worry about.
24:41But if it is, you know how to stop it.
24:47Tell me what happened to a woman.
24:52I've tried very hard to keep this from reaching your life.
24:57If you're doing all of this to get answers for one child,
25:01has it even entered your brain that you are inches away from putting baby Chloe and Elliot in danger?
25:08Okay.
25:09I'm done.
25:38Oh, no, no, no, no, no, no.
25:39Come on, what are you doing?
25:41Stay away from me.
25:42Get back in the car.
25:42Okay, fine, fine, it's fine.
25:44Go, go.
25:44You don't get to say my kids' names.
25:47You have no idea what you're doing.
25:49I'm trying to warn you.
25:50Tell me what you did.
25:52Who are you protecting?
25:54Okay, you need to think very carefully about what you are asking.
25:59Oh, my God.
26:00Just answer the question.
26:02Fine.
26:02I'll give you what you want.
26:04And then we'll see how badly you want to keep digging.
26:14Did you speed through the red before or after you ran into Willis' car?
26:19She threatened my kids.
26:21You would have done the same thing.
26:23I wouldn't have ran the red.
26:26I have something you should see.
26:29Charles Hale's employment data didn't check out.
26:31Dates overlap.
26:33One company doesn't exist.
26:34So I ran his prints federally.
26:35I got hits under three different names.
26:37These guys lived all over the place.
26:39Paloma border, New Mexico, San Angelo, Texas, Yakima, Washington.
26:43You know, I can run it in co-pilot.
26:46I'll have it categorized police reports by location, date, and name.
26:51Then color code them by location and create a summary of the findings.
26:55Okay, here we go.
26:56I'm finding reports on alleged scams in multiple cities he's lived in.
27:00Look, he posed as a startup investor in Phoenix.
27:02A high-end real estate partner in Ojai.
27:05So he's not a businessman.
27:06He's a con man.
27:07So Frank was his next target.
27:09But why kill Vera?
27:11Well, hang on a second.
27:14Charles checked into the hotel the same day Frank did, except Frank was a do not announce.
27:20So how did Charles know he was even there?
27:35Lucia.
27:39You said Charles, or whatever his real name is, lived in Alamogordo?
27:43New Mexico.
27:44Yeah, why?
27:45That's by White Sands National Park, the largest gypsum doom field in America.
27:49Gypsum?
27:49Unlike quartz sand, gypsum sand dissolves completely in water, which makes it incredibly rare.
27:54Lucia gave this to Karadek.
27:56It can't be a coincidence.
27:57I think that she and Charles were in the same city at the same time.
28:00Where's Karadek?
28:05Yeah.
28:06Charles Hale is a con man, and I think Lucia's involved.
28:09Maureen, I'm not going to do this again.
28:11Okay, just hear me out, okay?
28:13The day that Frank checked into the Blackwell, I think Charles was tipped off.
28:17He came to the hotel to con Frank.
28:19Any idea what the con was?
28:21I mean, Frank and Vera's whole brand was that they were a happy couple, right?
28:23It made them millions.
28:25So if Charles got evidence that Frank wasn't the devoted husband that he claimed to be,
28:29Frank would have paid anything to keep it from getting out.
28:31Charles was going to blackmail Frank.
28:33While Frank and his friends went to the pool, Charles was in the room alone.
28:37Vera walked in and caught him planting a recording device.
28:40So he had to take out the witness.
28:54Okay, so how did Vera end up by the pool?
28:57She snuck out and she ran.
28:59But that elevator is slow, and she was afraid that Charles would come after her.
29:03So she took the stairs, but we didn't see it because there were no cameras there.
29:06It was dark.
29:07She was disoriented.
29:11Lucia did clean the room like she told us, but she left out one thing.
29:15I think Charles was back in that room.
29:18Unless Charles could have done all of this on his own.
29:21There were two things that Charles could not have done on his own.
29:24You think she erased the videotape?
29:30And she tipped off Charles in the first place that his next big mark just walked into her hotel lobby.
29:37That's why Lucia's been so upset.
29:39She's the one who brought Charles Hale into the Blackwell Hotel.
29:49I'm really sorry.
29:54I'll call you back.
30:08Oh, Charles, please!
30:23Please!
30:25Lucia!
30:26You won't listen to me.
30:28It's okay.
30:30Let me handle it.
30:34Charles!
30:34I need you to put the safety on and drop it to the ground.
30:37Please!
30:38I don't think so.
30:42You know, I got a feeling that you care about Lucia as much as I do.
30:46Do not do something that she will have to live with for the rest of her life.
30:49Okay?
30:51Don't do that to her.
30:53Charles, there are some things that you and I cannot change no matter how much we want to.
30:59But what we can decide is how this ends.
31:01I can think of a bunch of ways we can turn this day around.
31:04But they all start with you dropping that gun.
31:24Watch your head.
31:30How did you know we will be here?
31:35No cities, just seasons, frosty trees.
31:38Those fans are there to keep the frost off the trees.
31:41That and Charles, or whatever his real name is, was trying to buy this place.
31:44Just an instinct, I guess.
31:46I didn't come here to run away with him, Adam.
31:50I just didn't want anyone else to get hurt.
31:57We met in New Mexico.
31:59I was still getting over you, and he seemed to understand that.
32:06Did you know what he did?
32:07Not at first.
32:10But when I found out, he said he wanted to change.
32:13He just needed, like, a couple more big paydays first.
32:17So I helped him.
32:19I pointed to a couple high-profile guests at other hotels.
32:24But he didn't change.
32:26So I left.
32:27I came back here.
32:30I bumped into you.
32:33And then he showed up at the Blackwell and told me if I didn't find his next mark,
32:36that he was going to make sure my cop boyfriend learned everything.
32:41But that if I did it, he would disappear for good.
32:44I didn't want him to destroy everything that we have.
32:48Adam.
32:55Where's the bookend he used to kill Vera?
33:00Adam, it's me.
33:09Yes, thank you.
33:11They got him.
33:12Charles is in custody.
33:14Everyone is safe.
33:15I just got this.
33:16What is it?
33:17Willa came through.
33:19This FBI agent, Lila Flynn, she was working undercover, and she was murdered.
33:23Mm-hmm.
33:24Turns out she was dirty.
33:26Mm, looks that way.
33:28Selling intel, laundering money.
33:30There's something else.
33:32What?
33:45They suspect that Roman was working with her, and when she decided to come clean, he killed her.
33:54This was a scandal too big for the FBI, and Willa helped them bury it.
33:58Security cameras caught these outside Lila's house the day she was murdered.
34:04That's Roman's car.
34:08No.
34:10I'm done.
34:11Let's be done.
34:14Can you give us a minute?
34:23What does that mean?
34:24Stop digging, okay?
34:26Listen, I don't know.
34:28It doesn't matter anymore.
34:29It's just not safe.
34:30It's not safe?
34:31It's never been safe.
34:32Eric Hayworth, this woman, I don't know.
34:35I don't know what's true.
34:36All I know is that if anything were to happen to any of you...
34:38Morgan, stepping away is simply not an option anymore.
34:41Oh, my God.
34:41Okay, I'm scared too, but I can take care of myself.
34:47Whatever happens, we'll do it together, okay?
35:05Hey.
35:06Hey.
35:09Come in.
35:19How you doing?
35:21The unis are taking Lucia to the precinct now.
35:24Oh, God, I'm sorry.
35:25You don't have anything to be sorry for.
35:29I'm sorry.
35:30You warned me, I should have listened.
35:31She'll be charged with accessory after the fact.
35:33I cared.
35:33Though with the other cons that her and Charles were involved in, the charges will increase.
35:38Adam.
35:49I can't believe this is happening.
35:54I just cannot believe it.
35:57I feel so stupid.
35:58No, don't.
36:00Please don't do that.
36:02You did it right.
36:05You did.
36:05You opened your heart.
36:06You let her in.
36:09That's always going to be the right move.
36:13I believed her.
36:17I believed she wanted a life with me.
36:21No, I don't even know who this person is.
36:23Yes, you do.
36:25Yes, you do.
36:28You do.
36:29It's the same person.
36:30You just...
36:34You just loved her too much to see the things that you didn't want to see.
36:40It's okay.
36:44It's going to be okay.
36:57I get to go see Ava's art show.
37:00You want to come with me?
37:01I would love to, but I have some things that I really need to take care of.
37:05You know?
37:06Okay.
37:07But I'm here if you need me.
37:13I know.
37:22It's you.
37:31It's you.
37:42Mom, hi.
37:43I'm so glad you made it.
37:46Wow.
37:47Oh?
37:48What do you think?
37:51Ava, this is...
37:53Boring.
37:54Yes, I just fell asleep.
37:56No, buddy, this is incredible.
38:02I am so impressed.
38:03You did this all by yourself.
38:08Well, I guess I had some help from my dad.
38:13Yeah, I guess he did.
38:17You're not going to start crying.
38:19Are you, please?
38:20Don't embarrass me.
38:20My little baby girl did this one.
38:22Oh, my God.
38:23Mom.
38:30Hey, what's going on?
38:31Hey, my father gave me a name.
38:33It's an old FBI ghost that was there when everything went down with Roman.
38:37I'm meeting him tonight.
38:38Tonight?
38:39Well, I got to come with you.
38:40No.
38:41You need to stay away until I get eyes on this guy.
38:43I'll be fine.
38:43You'll be there.
38:45Come on.
38:46I need to talk to him.
38:48Okay.
38:51930, Rancho Park, south side of the pond.
38:54Okay, I'll see you soon.
39:16Draw the lights.
39:19No.
39:21Light every candle.
39:25Slip off my pretty dress.
39:29Down my chest.
39:31When I think of you.
39:34Every night, both lips on the mirror.
39:43It's ritualistic.
39:46Counting lipstick.
39:48Stains where you should be.
39:52Oh, I need you home.
40:01I'm getting close now.
40:06Do you picture me like I picture you?
40:10Am I in the frame from your point of view?
40:15Do you feel the same?
40:16I'm just going to see half of the things I do.
40:23When I picture you, when I picture you.
40:52Do you picture me like I picture you?
40:57Am I in the frame from your point of view?
41:02Do you feel the same?
41:05I'm too scared to see half of the things I do when I picture you.
41:37I'm too scared to see half of the things I do when I picture you.
