00:30I'm here. Terribly sorry, but the safe in my room will not open.
00:33Would you be a dear and send someone up, please?
00:39Told you. Temperamental. Just like my second husband.
00:42Are you sure this is your code, ma'am?
00:44Oh, absolutely. 11.22. It's my birthday. I use it for everything.
00:48Not very James Bond, I know, but...
00:50Oh, goodness. I'm already late for my event.
00:53Madam, I'm only supposed to open a safe for whomever the room is registered to.
00:57The suite is booked under your husband's name. Perhaps you could call him.
01:00The thing is, this lunch is a surprise for his birthday.
01:03My manager is very strict about...
01:05Of course he is. They usually are.
01:07Before you rush off, do let me explain.
01:10My husband grew up quite poor.
01:12His father died working in the coal mines in Ireland when he was quite young.
01:16I'm sorry, but...
01:17They had to sell everything just to keep a roof over their heads, including their father's watch.
01:22A family heirloom that they passed down from father to son for three generations.
01:26That's a very sad story, but I can't...
01:27And I searched for that watch since the day we were married.
01:3120 years of estate sales, auctions, eBay.
01:35A romantic odyssey to find the one and only thing my husband cannot buy.
01:43No.
01:44Yes.
01:44No.
01:45Yes.
01:46The watch is in there?
01:46It is.
01:49Ah.
01:52This stays between us.
01:57Ah, my hero.
01:59Oh.
01:59If I weren't already married and you weren't tragically employed.
02:04Oh.
02:05May I see it?
02:06Oh, I would love that.
02:08But it is already wrapped.
02:10Ribbon, velvet box, whole shebang.
02:12Of course.
02:13Ah.
02:14Have a good day, madam.
02:15Thank you so, so, so much.
02:29And just like that, the game begins.
03:01Oh, how'd it go?
03:03Almost to the ghetto.
03:04Well, you actually pulled it off.
03:06Guess we can check transportation off the list.
03:09I'll give this to Ricky and tell him we can shift into phase two of our diamond heist.
03:12Speaking of diamonds, I brought a souvenir from the hotel.
03:16Mom, that wasn't part of the plan.
03:19The minute I saw it, I knew you had to have it.
03:21I'm sure you could pawn it for 10 or 15 grand.
03:25Dad, maybe just try it on.
03:27No, I can't, honey.
03:28I gotta get going.
03:28It's my first time leading the prison support group,
03:30and I want to pick up a traveler, a decent coffee.
03:32Because prison coffee, that's the worst offender in there.
03:35See you later, kiddo.
03:42Mom, just give him some time.
03:45Doubt's okay.
03:49Hey, what's up?
03:56People come here voluntarily.
03:59You never worked out before?
04:00I mean, I broke a mild sweat once
04:03when I climbed up a flight of stairs carrying my purse in a latte.
04:06Jess and I have been getting up and running every morning at 5 a.m.
04:09My alarm clock doesn't even have 5 a.m.
04:11So what about ritual we started back in Mexico?
04:13Getting up at the sunrise, jogging along Caballo Beach?
04:16Actually, I have gone for a jog,
04:18and it was on a beach,
04:19except I was being chased by a donkey wearing a sequined tuxedo.
04:23I mean, I was in the tux, not the donkey.
04:25It's a whole saga.
04:27I'll give you the director's cut later.
04:30Oh, jeez.
04:34Poor guy.
04:36All pain and no gain.
04:49Just confirmed their VIX ID.
04:51Ridge Rogers, 42.
04:53He's the owner of the gym and the guy on all the posters.
04:55And quite the specimen.
04:57Nine-time world bodybuilding champion.
05:00I googled him.
05:01How does someone even get like this?
05:03Such a big guy in such teeny tiny shorts.
05:07It's hard work, but it's a simple choice.
05:09You just gotta commit to a strict diet,
05:10two to three hours of training a day,
05:12and, well, no cheat meals.
05:13Okay, you lost me either two to three hours a day.
05:16And the strict diet.
05:17And the no cheating.
05:19It's 300 pounds on that bar, but, I mean, a guy his size could have easily handled that weight.
05:24A lot of these guys are on gear, though.
05:26Maybe a steroid-induced heart attack?
05:28That was my first thought, until I found this.
05:32The laceration is fresh.
05:34And from the shape of the wound, I'd say he was hit with a hex dumbbell.
05:37Probably a 10 or a 20-pounder.
05:39Well, he was bench pressing on his back.
05:42Poor guy.
05:43The blow alone wouldn't be strong enough to kill,
05:45but it probably stunned him.
05:47And then he loses grip on the bar,
05:48and 300 pounds of iron come crashing down on his windpipe.
05:51I'm taking some free weights back to check for bloodstains.
05:54The unis are collecting dumbbells now.
05:55Oh, leave this one.
05:57I might need him later.
06:03What is it?
06:04It's Ridge's workout journal.
06:06He was tracking everything.
06:08His weight, what he was pressing, his meals.
06:10Can you ballpark his time of death for me?
06:13Sometime between 10 p.m. and 2 a.m.
06:16Well, looks like he was writing down all his workouts.
06:19His last entry was 9.45 p.m.
06:22It's 45 minutes after the gym closes.
06:25I wonder if Ridge had a workout, buddy.
06:27Well, if they did, they didn't come to sweat.
06:30They came to kill.
06:32We need to talk to whoever found the body.
06:35I'm calling.
06:36Ridge and I were co-owners in the gym.
06:38This is my wife, Amy.
06:40Called her right after I died in 911.
06:42I just can't believe this is happening.
06:44So when you got to the gym this morning,
06:45you said the doors were locked?
06:47Yeah.
06:47I opened up, saw the lights were on,
06:49which isn't normal.
06:52And that's when I came in and found him.
06:54When was the last time you saw him?
06:56We were both here with him last night before closing.
06:58Did he mention anything about meeting up with someone after you left?
07:00No.
07:01He was going to get a workout in like he does every night.
07:03Alone?
07:03He was a celebrity around here.
07:06During gym hours, people would keep asking for selfies.
07:08At night, he could focus.
07:10He did mention he was switching out the protein drinks
07:12in all the fridges last night.
07:14Why?
07:14Some fitness influencer convinced us to stock his power drink.
07:17Ridge didn't like him,
07:18so he developed his own line of protein drink.
07:20First batch just came in yesterday,
07:22and he was so excited.
07:25You recognize that?
07:26Yeah, it's Ridge's workout log.
07:28He had a strict routine, and he stuck to it.
07:30Okay.
07:31One last question.
07:32Where were you two last night between 10 and 2?
07:34Well, you were at your poker game.
07:36Yeah, the same crew every month.
07:38Last night went from 9 till around 3 this morning.
07:419 to 3.
07:42And you were home?
07:42No, I knew I was going to be picking Colin up late,
07:45so I took in a double bail at the Revival in Lakeview.
07:48Frankenstein and Jekyll and Hyde.
07:49I love a little classic horror.
07:55Olive?
07:56Do you see them?
07:58Who's them?
07:59Cockroaches.
08:02Oh, yeah.
08:03I see a couple over there.
08:04What the hell?
08:04We've never had bugs before.
08:06I'm calling the exterminator?
08:07Yeah.
08:09Okay, are you going to come down?
08:11No.
08:12I live here now.
08:13Okay, how about I distract them,
08:14and then you can get out of here.
08:15How do you distract the cockroach?
08:17Olive, you deal with blood and guts and gruesome crime scenes all day.
08:19You're afraid of a couple of cockroaches?
08:21I've got one on your shoe.
08:22What the?
08:22Get off.
08:23Okay.
08:23Oh, very funny.
08:24Nature boy.
08:25How about you piggyback this fine gala out of here
08:27so we can get back to the office?
08:28Yeah.
08:30All right.
08:31Come on.
08:32Okay.
08:33Okay.
08:33Yes, yes.
08:39Thank you.
08:40Okay, well, Colin's poker buddies confirmed he was hemorrhaging cash
08:44from 9 p.m. until 2.30 a.m.
08:46He's alipide.
08:47Oh.
08:47Spoke to an usher at the Revival Cinema.
08:49Amy was there for the double bill from 9.15 to 2 a.m.
08:52The movie theater staff remembered her?
08:54How?
08:54She spilled a jumbo bucket of popcorn all over the lobby
08:57before the movie started,
08:58and then she apologized about it again after the movie ended.
09:01What about Ridge's notebook?
09:02Yeah, mostly just weights and reps,
09:04except for in the back where there's a list of dates.
09:06Dates for what?
09:07I don't know yet.
09:08Y'all are going to want to get eyeballs on this.
09:12All right.
09:12What are we looking at here?
09:14This gem is a bodybuilding influencer
09:17who goes by the name Atlas.
09:18And why should we care?
09:19Because for the last few months,
09:20every workout video he's posted has been from Ridge's gem,
09:23and this morning, this popped up.
09:24That's the locker room at Ridge's gem.
09:26Ding, ding, ding.
09:27Tell him what he's won, Simmons.
09:28Just play the video, Yates.
09:30Okay.
09:31Yo, gem bros, this just in at Ridge's gem.
09:34Look at these bad boys I found in the locker room.
09:36Come on.
09:38Wow.
09:39Can you say health code violation?
09:41Floor is moving.
09:42It's like a sea of cockroaches.
09:44An intrusion.
09:46A group of cockroaches is called an intrusion.
09:48Hello?
09:49This place used to be my home away from home,
09:50but now they got roaches.
09:52So it's going to be a no for Ridge's gem.
09:55Atlas, out.
09:57Wait, can you go back a second or two?
10:02Alice, do you see that?
10:03Yeah.
10:05Colin and his wife said that Ridge swapped out the old drinks after closing the gym that
10:09night, so if Atlas recorded this video and the new drinks are already stocked...
10:13Then he was in the gym after closing, right in the window of Ridge's murder.
10:16We've got to talk to this guy.
10:18Who's going to bring him in?
10:19Not it.
10:19We've got defensive driving certification.
10:21It's an hour away and we're already late.
10:22I'm getting it for under 30.
10:25Sorry, my gem bros, but you're on your own with Atlas.
10:30Right.
10:32His real name is Sheldon Shankman.
10:35He's an influencer with a decent following.
10:37He'll take whatever shortcut he can to get more likes.
10:39This is the same influencer you were telling us about before?
10:41Yes.
10:42So, why did Ridge kick him out?
10:44He's a walking disruption.
10:46You remember the fight?
10:47Yeah.
10:48Wait, there was a fight?
10:49Atlas was always making videos at the gym.
10:51Yeah, he started treating the place like his own personal soundstage.
10:53Yeah, he would rearrange equipment like it was set dressing, telling people to move so we could get his good
10:58angle.
10:58Colin and Ridge allowed it because of his social media following, but it just became obnoxious.
11:03It was the protein drink debacle that really sealed it.
11:05What happened?
11:07Well, Atlas was starting his own line of protein drinks, Atlas Ignite.
11:10They look legit on the label, so we agreed to sell them at the gym.
11:12Yeah, but when Ridge had them analyzed, they found trace amounts of dangerous chemicals.
11:16So we pulled the drinks and Atlas's membership.
11:18When was this?
11:19About a week ago.
11:20Yeah, I guess so.
11:20I was out of town working at it.
11:22I'm guessing he didn't take the protein break up very well.
11:24No, he did not.
11:25So revenge served cold and crawling.
11:28Yo, yo, yo, this is Atlas coming to you live, and we're getting back to basics today, baby.
11:33That's right, we're going to amp it up with a little old school H-double-I-T.
11:36Ain't that right, ladies?
11:37We're getting some high knees in.
11:38Let's get it.
11:39Left, right, left, right, left, right.
11:41Keep that energy up.
11:42I want to hear y'all.
11:43I want to feel y'all.
11:44Come on.
11:45Rose, you're in my live stream right now.
11:47Yeah, we don't mean to yuck your yum, but we've got a few questions that outrank your glutes.
11:51Detective Ellis, Metro 3D.
11:54The police, huh?
11:55What's the crisis here?
11:56Just trying to give my followers some new moves, all right?
11:59Your followers are going to have to sit this one out.
12:02Hey, everyone, get your phone down and live stream this right now.
12:05The cops are trying to silence fitness.
12:07Wow.
12:08You're making it worse for yourself, Sheldon.
12:10Trust me.
12:11I'm a citizen doing what I do.
12:12I've got rights too, you know.
12:14Yeah, so did Ridge Rogers.
12:16Sheldon Shankman, we're placing you under arrest for suspicion of murder.
12:19Wait, wait, wait, wait, Ridge was murdered?
12:21Put your hands behind your back right now.
12:22I didn't know Ridge was murdered, and I didn't do it.
12:25I'm telling you, I didn't do it.
12:26Yo, put the phones away.
12:28Respect my privacy.
12:29Respect my privacy.
12:31Come on.
12:31Come on.
12:34We're out.
12:37Do you know what this is going to do with my follower drop-off?
12:40My reputation is on the line, and I didn't even do anything.
12:43We found the digital wall at Rissy for the 500 cockroaches you purchased online.
12:48Fine.
12:48I planted them, but it was a prank.
12:50It's called cyber libel, and it comes with a fine and a prison sentence.
12:52Did you know that?
12:53Okay, okay.
12:54I just wanted to get to Ridge before he got to me.
12:56Oh, because of your protein drinks?
12:58Yes.
12:59He was going to tell everyone not to drink them.
13:01But you are aware that your drinks contain heavy metal?
13:03Which one was it?
13:05ACDC?
13:05Metallica?
13:06Iron Maiden?
13:07It's not me when we get to the 90s.
13:08It's just trace amounts.
13:10Besides, it's not like I made the drink.
13:12That's not how it works.
13:13You pay the nerds at the lab, they slap your label on it, and boom.
13:17How'd you get into the gym after hours?
13:18I knew Ridge stayed after closing, so I just knocked on the door and told him that I needed to
13:23clean out my locker, and he let me in.
13:24Then I dumped the roaches and took the video, and I left.
13:27But he was alive, okay?
13:29So you hated this guy so much that you dumped a bunch of cockroaches in his gym, and then you
13:33just left?
13:34Really?
13:34I was pissed off.
13:35My mom's garage is filled with boxes of Atlas fuel that I poured my whole life savings into.
13:41All you're trying to find is pissed off people.
13:43You should try to find the guy that Ridge went off on last month.
13:46What guy?
13:46I don't know.
13:47They were fighting over some chick.
13:48It sounded like the dude's ex-wife.
13:51I thought Ridge was going to kill him.
13:53All right, where'd you go after the gym?
13:54I went to the dine-on forest.
13:56Really?
13:57Yeah, what'd you have to eat?
14:00I had a kale and schmouse bowl.
14:02Haven't you lied enough today?
14:05I had the big country burgerlicious with extra cheese.
14:11Fine!
14:12I had five of them.
14:13Yeah.
14:14Is my mom here to pick me up yet?
14:17Apparently, Atlas was telling the truth.
14:19The owner of the diner emailed us a receipt, and the timestamp places him there at the time of death.
14:25Five burgers.
14:26Wow.
14:27I just gained five pounds saying that.
14:28That's not a meal.
14:29That's a cry for help.
14:30So Atlas isn't our killer.
14:31What else you got?
14:32Atlas said that Ridge got into some confrontation with somebody at the gym,
14:35so we got an ID on him from Colin, and we're going to head there now and talk to him.
14:38Okay.
14:38Let me know.
14:39Yes, sir.
14:41Hello, gentlemen.
14:43I'm George.
14:44Hello, George.
14:45No need to say my name back.
14:46I don't run that kind of meeting.
14:48Hey, man.
14:49So what kind of meeting is this, then?
14:50You don't know what meeting you signed up for?
14:52Oh, is this a bathroom mop, huh?
14:54Fair enough.
14:55I won't tell the guard.
14:57You're George Graham, ain't you?
14:58Yeah.
14:59I got a buddy up in Vickerton Penitentiary.
15:02He said you got him the best damn Philly cheesesteak he ever had for his birthday.
15:06Marlon, he's a great guy.
15:08Oh, yeah.
15:09You were inside?
15:10Up until a couple of months ago, I was wearing a jumpsuit just like you guys.
15:14What, are you escaping?
15:16Best escape from these walls is out early for good behavior.
15:19Look, the thing is, when I got out, I wasn't ready.
15:22I looked at my time inside as a waiting gate.
15:24I wait, get out, pick up where I left off, right?
15:28Wrong.
15:29Because where you left off no longer exists.
15:31And the man who walked in this place, he no longer exists either.
15:35If I don't exist, then, well, they got locked up in here.
15:38Well, over the next couple of months, we're going to figure that out.
15:41Oh, man.
15:41I don't want to do no group therapy crap.
15:44Neither do I.
15:45Which is why we are going to write.
15:49Myself included.
15:51Now, I don't care what you write.
15:52It could be a story from your childhood, the lyrics to your favorite song,
15:57your granddad's recipe for sticky ribs.
15:59What's the point of this?
16:01What's your name?
16:02Artie.
16:03Well, hey, Artie.
16:04How about you just give it a try?
16:06For me.
16:07If we do it, what's in it for us?
16:09All right, y'all come back here tomorrow.
16:11I'll not only bring more of the good coffee,
16:13I'll also bring you the best damn Philly cheesesteak you ever tasted.
16:16Deal?
16:17Oh, yeah.
16:18Okay.
16:18Now, they say the pen is mightier than the sword,
16:21so please try not to kill anybody with these.
16:25Just right.
16:31Yeah, Ridge and me definitely had an argument.
16:34Over what?
16:35Julia, my ex-wife.
16:37What was the problem?
16:38Ridge had a thing for her.
16:39He was trying to control her.
16:41What made you think that?
16:42Julia became obsessed with going to the gym.
16:44Sometimes twice a day.
16:45I guess Ridge thought she had the hots for him.
16:47Started calling her all the time.
16:49She wanted him to lay off,
16:50but I know she didn't know how to tell him,
16:51so I went down there to have a friendly talk
16:53and tell him to leave her alone.
16:54I'm guessing it didn't stay friendly very long?
16:56He'd lost it on me as soon as I walked in.
16:58Then he came to my house and smashed my car window.
17:00Did you report that to the police?
17:02No, man.
17:03You see the size of that guy?
17:05Okay, where were you last night between 10 and 2?
17:07I worked the night shift at the mall doing security.
17:10You guys like soft pretzels?
17:12I'll get you as many as you want.
17:13We're good, thanks.
17:14We will need your supervisor's phone number
17:16to confirm your alibi, though.
17:17Do you have cinnamon pretzels?
17:20You bet.
17:23After we confirm you're not the killer, of course.
17:27Thank you for your time.
17:30Looks like they're sending over a uni
17:32to check Otis' alibi.
17:33In the meantime, Julia's been hitting up Ridge's gym.
17:36Now, if Ridge was harassing her,
17:38why wouldn't she just go somewhere else?
17:39Right.
17:40So if someone is lying to us,
17:42we should talk to Julia.
17:46Yikes.
17:46She's like an hour away from here.
17:49But she's super close to Yates
17:51and Simmons' defensive driving course.
17:53Okay, send them Julia's address.
17:54They can go talk to her.
17:55Already on it.
18:00What?
18:01Yates says,
18:02we're doing donuts.
18:04Police?
18:06Donuts?
18:07Get it?
18:08Yeah, I get it, Max.
18:28That drift was sick.
18:30I think I'm about to be sick.
18:32When are you going to be sick?
18:33Puke away from the car.
18:36You're riding shotgun.
18:38Now on.
18:39All right, shotgun.
18:40Whatever.
18:47Hello?
18:49Uh, hi.
18:50Looking for, uh, uh, Julia?
18:52What are you doing?
18:54What?
18:54She could be Spanish.
18:55We don't know.
18:55It's Julia.
18:57Okay.
18:58Can I help you?
18:59Yeah, I'm Detective Simmons.
19:00This is Detective Yates.
19:01Can we ask you a few questions?
19:04About what?
19:05Uh, Ridge Rogers.
19:06We have some questions about his relationship
19:08with Otis Altamira.
19:10I don't know anything about his relationships
19:12with anyone.
19:13Otis is my ex-husband.
19:16Is it true?
19:17Is what true?
19:18Is Ridge dead?
19:22I'm afraid so.
19:24Hello?
19:27So you did know Ridge Rogers?
19:29I'm sorry.
19:30I can't talk anymore.
19:31But for the cops?
19:33I'd like you to leave.
19:34If you have any other questions,
19:36you'll have to talk to my lawyer.
19:37Oh.
19:38No, I don't think so.
19:39What are you...
19:39Hey, stop it.
19:40That's harassment.
19:41Excuse me.
19:42I say we take her in.
19:43On what charge?
19:45For being rude.
19:46How many times have I got to tell you
19:47being rude is not a crime?
19:49Well, it should be.
19:50It isn't.
19:51Well, it should be.
19:52It ain't.
19:54Simmons, wait.
19:55What?
19:55What?
19:55What is it?
19:58I'm sorry.
20:00Yeah, don't worry about it.
20:05Come on.
20:05Huh?
20:06Come on.
20:08This is unnecessary.
20:10Really?
20:11Nope.
20:11Guess who's writing shot guy now.
20:12Oh, damn it.
20:19So Julia, or Julia,
20:21or, you know, whatever her name is,
20:22she definitely knows something about this case.
20:24She wouldn't answer the door.
20:25Yeah, exactly.
20:27Which, you know,
20:27means she's definitely guilty of something.
20:29I can tell.
20:29How?
20:30You didn't even see her face.
20:31I didn't need to see her face.
20:32It was her tone.
20:33She did seem extra nervous
20:35as soon as she heard we were cops.
20:36Her back went up.
20:37Yeah, and as soon as we mentioned Ridge's name,
20:39she went on lawyer on her butt.
20:40Sounds like she's hiding something.
20:41It's not like we can force her to talk to us.
20:43Turn off the cameras in the interview room.
20:45Give me a phone book in five minutes with her.
20:46She'll talk.
20:48Okay, no more watching episodes of The Shield for you.
20:51I know you're right.
20:52You're right.
20:53Just the commish, you know?
20:55I love them.
21:00Hey.
21:01What?
21:02Watch the road.
21:02Would you shake your head for me?
21:04It's a simple question.
21:06Yes or no.
21:06That means I can stop watching.
21:10Julia's a workout fanatic, right?
21:13Yeah, that's what her ex said.
21:14I think I know how to get her to start talking.
21:23Okay, are you ready to feel the fun?
21:34Step and squat and step and squat and bounce.
21:37Two, three, four.
21:38Step and squat and step and squat and bounce.
21:40Two, three, four.
21:42You, what's your name?
21:43Rich.
21:43What?
21:44Rich.
21:44Rich, why did you come to my class?
21:47Get in shape.
21:48Okay, well, when I say squat,
21:49you get your cheeks onto the floor, okay?
21:51Show me what you got.
21:52Uh-huh.
21:53Woo!
21:54You, in the black.
21:56Julia.
21:57Julia?
21:58Perfect form.
21:58Keep it up.
21:59You stop, you drop.
22:01Give me 20.
22:02You, give me 20.
22:04Step and squat and step and squat and bounce.
22:06Two, three, four.
22:08Oh.
22:09Woo!
22:10Woo!
22:14Hey, great class.
22:16You really whipped our butts out there.
22:18Give me a five-star review and I'll kick your butt anytime.
22:20You got it.
22:21Hey, Julia, you killed those footsteps.
22:24Thanks.
22:25I don't think we officially met.
22:26I'm Brianna, founder of Neon Motion.
22:29Loved your class.
22:30Look, girl, I don't mean to pry,
22:32but you're giving super sad girl energy.
22:36It's because of Rich, isn't it?
22:41You know what?
22:41How about we get out of here?
22:42I'll buy you a drink.
22:49Thank you.
22:50Thanks.
22:52I started coming here after I split with my ex.
22:55I needed to change my habits, my eating, my body.
23:00Rich was so kind and supportive.
23:04Were you and Rich?
23:06No.
23:07What?
23:07No, not at all.
23:09I mean, Rich was like a big brother.
23:12Otis, the ex, he started stalking me.
23:16He said he was just being protective, but it really creeped me out.
23:21Ugh, creepy exes are the worst.
23:23Did you call the cops?
23:24There was nothing to call about.
23:26He just kept showing up everywhere I was, even the gym.
23:30Um, that's when Rich put the fear of God in him.
23:35He kicked him out, then went to his house to tell him to leave me alone.
23:40I haven't seen Otis since.
23:42Rich was a solid friend.
23:44He really was.
23:46I met Rich a year ago when I was trying to get retro aerobics off the ground.
23:50Because working out should be fun, right?
23:53If it wasn't for Rich's support, Neon Motion wouldn't even exist.
23:58Right?
23:59He went out of his way to help me.
24:03I told him if he ever needed anything, just ask.
24:08And then a few weeks later, he was dead.
24:10The cops came to my house to talk to me, but I...
24:14I couldn't do it.
24:15I was scared.
24:16Scared of the cops?
24:17Why?
24:19Because I'm the reason Rich is dead.
24:24Why would Julia think she's responsible for Rich's death?
24:27Because just a few days after Rich helped her to get Otis off her back, he cashed in that favor.
24:31He asked her to run a license plate.
24:33She works at a license office.
24:34It's illegal for employees to do that.
24:36She could lose her job.
24:37Exactly.
24:37That's why she was scared to talk to Simmons and Yates.
24:39Why'd Rich ask her to run the plate?
24:41He didn't say.
24:42He didn't want to get her more involved.
24:44Look, I think she's afraid that whoever's registered to that plate might have something to do with Rich's death.
24:48So who's this person?
24:50Captain Dennis Thornwood.
24:51He's a commercial airline pilot.
24:53Lives one town over.
24:54No priors.
24:55On paper, he's clean.
24:57Everyone's got their secrets.
24:58If Rich was trying to track this guy down, maybe our captain isn't as clean as he looks.
25:03Try to get him on the phone.
25:04You got it.
25:06So I might look like a big man, but I'm just a baby.
25:12I'm a tiny little baby.
25:16And baby needs milky.
25:22That was enlightening.
25:25Maybe we should take a break?
25:27Yeah.
25:28Yeah.
25:36That was the best cheesesteak I ever had.
25:38Yeah, Vinny is a genius when it comes to beef and buns.
25:42Coffee?
25:43Yeah, please.
25:45How you doing today, Artie?
25:48Yeah, I'm okay.
25:49Just your speech yesterday had me thinking all night.
25:52Still life on the outside.
25:54Guess I've been a boy in it.
25:56And why's that?
25:58Honestly, just a tough family relationship.
26:02Word all fall in the same messed up patterns once I'm out.
26:05You don't have to.
26:07Yeah, I know.
26:09I guess I just have to tell them how I really feel.
26:13Can't avoid it forever.
26:15It's family.
26:18No.
26:19Can't avoid it forever.
26:24Thanks.
26:24Yeah.
26:29I don't know this Ridge.
26:31I'm not really a gym guide.
26:32Bit of a homebody, to be honest.
26:34When I'm home, I'm home.
26:35Were you home the night before last?
26:37No, I've been in the air the past week and a half.
26:39I'll be back tomorrow.
26:40Looking forward to it.
26:41One last question.
26:42Does anyone else drive your car?
26:44My wife drives it occasionally.
26:45I can give you her number, but she travels a lot for work, too.
26:48She's actually at a conference right now.
26:50And, uh, I don't think she's ever seen it.
26:53Attention all crew for flight 117 to New York.
26:56Oh, that's me.
26:57I gotta go.
26:58This plane won't fly itself.
27:00Well, technically it will, but I still have to be there.
27:02Thank you.
27:04So, what do you think?
27:06I don't think we should check out his alibi and confirm with his wife, but beyond that,
27:10I don't really see any connection to Ridge.
27:11You think they got into a fender bender and Mr. Squeaky Clean pulled a hit and run?
27:16Maybe.
27:16Or maybe the captain is lying.
27:20Well, whatever it is, I think it's going to be a late night, so you should probably order
27:23some food.
27:24Oh, I'll do it.
27:25I don't trust you.
27:26Mister, I wake up at 5 a.m. to jog like a psychopath.
27:30I worked out today.
27:31I deserve something good.
27:32You watched people work out today.
27:34And I burned a ton of sympathy calories doing it.
27:38Now, where are the menus?
27:42Sympathy calories.
27:45If you're looking for your salad, there's lettuce on the burger.
27:48I've had salads all week.
27:50I'm looking for the ketchup.
27:51Oh, here.
27:52I know you like pickles.
27:54And you can have my tomato.
27:56Thank you.
27:57Oh, here's your ketchup.
27:58And your mustard.
27:59Thanks.
28:04Okay, so those are the dates that Dennis was flying over the past two months.
28:09Captain Dennis was definitely out of town the night Ridge was murdered.
28:11As was his wife, Amelia Ashcroft.
28:14So, what are we missing here?
28:25Wait.
28:27What?
28:28Heartburn?
28:28No.
28:29Well, Hannah.
28:31Remember?
28:31Back.
28:34Dates are the same ones that Ridge wrote down.
28:36The same dates that Captain Dennis said he was home.
28:39Ridge was tracking when Dennis was home.
28:41So, Ridge did know him.
28:43Looks like Captain Dennis' story just hit some major turbulence.
28:54Julia asks Ridge for help with a problem.
28:57Getting her ex off her back.
28:58And Ridge is more than happy to help her out.
29:00So, she tells Ridge if he ever needs anything, just ask.
29:03So, Ridge calls in a favor and asks Julia to look up a license plate.
29:06Which leads him to our pilot, Captain Dennis.
29:09Ridge starts tracking the Captain's movement.
29:12And the dates in the notebook are when Captain Dennis is in town.
29:14Okay, but why would Ridge care?
29:15That's what we're trying to figure out.
29:17Any luck getting in touch with the Captain's wife?
29:19Yeah, we sent her a bunch of voicemails.
29:21Simmons will keep trying, but apparently she's at some conference.
29:24We're going to head to the gym to talk to Ridge's business partner.
29:26See if we can figure out why Ridge is so obsessed with this Captain's schedule.
29:29Keep me posted.
29:51Hi.
29:52Hi.
29:53Hi.
29:53Max is at work and Ricky is at his tailor's getting his jodhpurs altered.
29:59He swears they're coming back.
30:01Well, he was right about plaid.
30:03But, uh, I'm here to see you.
30:05Oh.
30:06Uh, well, I was just thinking over the heist and jotting a few things down.
30:10You want to join?
30:11I didn't come here to talk about the heist.
30:14I came here to talk to you.
30:19Nope.
30:20Can't say I've ever seen this guy in my life.
30:23Who is he?
30:23He's a person of interest right now.
30:25That's all I'm at liberty to say.
30:26Hey, was Ridge planning on taking a trip?
30:30You must be kidding.
30:32Anyone who owns their own business knows there's no such thing as vacation.
30:36I mean, you're not joking.
30:38Personal training session, marketing photo shoots, product design meetings.
30:43I'm exhausted just looking at your calendar.
30:48Hey, Colin, what do these, uh, little hearts mean right there?
30:52Oh, that's my wife's schedule.
30:53She travels a lot for work, and, well, those are the days she takes my heart away.
30:58She just left for a conference today.
31:01The dates Amy is away and the dates Ridge marked in his notebook, they're the same.
31:05They're also the exact same dates that Captain Dennis said he was home.
31:09So how the hell are these three things related?
31:14I still haven't been able to get a hold of Captain Dennis' wife.
31:17Oh, no.
31:18Yeah, ask the tech guys to see if they could trace her cell phone's location's history.
31:24Let's see where she's been.
31:26Oh, yeah.
31:30Ooh.
31:32Yates, you gotta see this.
31:33Eat my dust, suckers.
31:39Are you playing video games right now?
31:41What?
31:42No.
31:43I'm at work, of course not.
31:45It's the department's defensive driving simulator.
31:48I'm on the Autobahn.
31:50It's pretty cool.
31:51Company hours.
31:54Unbelievable.
31:57Simmons, did you get anything?
31:59Yeah, I still haven't been able to get a hold of Captain Dennis' wife,
32:02but we were able to trace her cell phone's location's history
32:04and I'm texting you her whereabouts over the last few weeks now.
32:08You're gonna want to take a look at this.
32:12Whoa.
32:13What is it?
32:14Simmons, are you sure this is Captain Dennis' wife?
32:17Oh, I'm sure.
32:18She's at home with the Captain right now.
32:20Okay, we're on it.
32:21What do you mean we're on it?
32:22We're on what?
32:23You're gonna go up there and turn.
32:24We're about to pay the Captain.
32:25A little visit.
32:27You are not gonna believe this one.
32:37Detective, I wasn't expecting you.
32:38Is there something I can help you with?
32:39Actually, we were hoping to speak to your wife.
32:41Is she home?
32:42Yeah, she just got in this afternoon.
32:44Amelia?
32:45Yeah?
32:45Can you come to the door?
32:47Sure.
32:50What's up?
32:52Deer made headlights.
32:54What's this all about?
32:55I'm sorry for everything you're about to hear, Dennis,
32:57but it's Band-Aid ripping time.
32:59Amy, we need to see your phone.
33:01Amy, who's Amy?
33:03Patience, Captain.
33:04All will be revealed.
33:06Amy, your phone.
33:08I don't feel comfortable giving you my phone without a search warrant.
33:14Oh, found it.
33:15It's me calling.
33:16Pardon me?
33:20My bad.
33:22I was looking for your other phone.
33:24You have two phones?
33:26Seriously, Amelia, why do you have two phones?
33:27Well, you need two phones when you have two husbands.
33:36Two husbands?
33:37What do you mean?
33:38Please, save your questions till the end, Dennis.
33:41This is only the first Band-Aid.
33:44Amy, why don't you take us through your alibi one more time?
33:46You know, the double bill at the movie theater.
33:49What do you mean?
33:49Did anything interesting happen?
33:51Yeah.
33:53Frankenstein's monster made a friend, and then he killed her.
33:55Amelia, what are they talking about?
33:57Amy, or Amelia, says she was at the movie theater
34:00the night Ridge Rogers was murdered.
34:02I was.
34:03And I still have the ticket if you need to see it.
34:05No need.
34:06The ushers remember you, actually.
34:07You spilled your popcorn all over them on the way in,
34:09and you thanked them profusely on the way out.
34:11You thanked them loudly, too.
34:13You wanted them to remember you.
34:14But you were playing out your own little version of Jekyll and Hyde,
34:17weren't you?
34:18What's that supposed to mean?
34:19Here comes the second Band-Aid.
34:21You weren't at the movie theater.
34:23You were at the gym, killing Ridge Rogers.
34:26What?
34:27Remember, please, save your questions till the end.
34:30You left this phone in the movie theater.
34:33You wanted to make sure that nobody could trace you back to the scene of the murder.
34:36After you killed Ridge, you went back to the theater,
34:38grabbed your phone, finished watching the movie.
34:40What you didn't anticipate is that we'd find out about your secret other life,
34:44and your secret other phone,
34:46which, unfortunately, does place you at the scene of the murder at that time.
34:50You killed someone?
34:52Why?
34:53You can definitely ask that question.
34:55Once Ridge found out about Amy's two marriages, her double life,
34:59he confronted her about it.
35:00And that's when she decided to kill him.
35:02To keep her secret.
35:06Amelia Ashcroft?
35:07And or Amy Thornwood?
35:09You're under arrest for the murder of Ridge Rogers.
35:12Put your hands behind your back.
35:24I hear the unis are bringing in our killer.
35:26Good work.
35:28How did Ridge find out about Amy's secret?
35:30It was completely by chance.
35:31Ridge saw Amy driving a car he didn't recognize when she was supposed to be out of town.
35:35So he had his friend, the aerobics queen, run the plates, which led him to the pilot's house.
35:40And that's when he realized that not only was Amy living a double life,
35:44she was legally married to two different people.
35:46So why didn't Ridge tell Colin about this?
35:48He warned Amy he was going to if she didn't come clean.
35:51So Amy went to the gym after hours and promised Ridge that she would tell Colin the truth.
35:56She pretended to leave, doubled back, and killed Ridge.
36:00But why marry both men?
36:02Well, because she said she loved them both equally.
36:04They were different.
36:06Both gave her what she needs.
36:08She just couldn't decide between them.
36:11So by choosing both, she chose neither.
36:17Okay, I look forward to your report.
36:20I guess I'm going to go home?
36:21Max, you're officially a consultant now.
36:24You can help with this report.
36:25Yeah.
36:26No, I don't want to overstep my boundaries.
36:28You're not.
36:29Get helping.
36:31You're the one who wanted a badge.
36:33Yeah, well, I didn't realize it came with paperwork.
36:35Must have missed that.
36:37Fine print.
36:41You've always been such a good man, George.
36:43I know there's a lot you want to say to me.
36:45So please, just say it.
36:52I'm so angry at you, Viv.
36:53I know.
36:54No, you don't.
36:56You don't understand what it was like when you died.
36:59I didn't think I could keep going.
37:00If it hadn't been for Max, I...
37:05Look, I understand why you made the choice you did.
37:07I can see the logic.
37:09But?
37:09But I never could have done that.
37:11I would have moved heaven and earth this day with you and Max.
37:13I know you would have.
37:14And if I had come to you with the truth, you would have said,
37:17don't worry, we'll all get through this together.
37:19So why the hell did you leave us?
37:20Because staying would have gotten you and our daughter killed.
37:23Case in point, look at where we are now.
37:25He found me, and now all of your lives are in danger.
37:28All that proves is that we didn't have to waste the last 15 years being apart.
37:33I am so, so sorry.
37:48I don't think I can go back to the way things were.
37:51I know.
37:53And I'm not asking you to.
37:58But I do want to move forward, George.
38:00I want to know you again.
38:02I want to get to know our daughter who grew up without me.
38:06Isn't there a way we can make that happen?
38:08I guess time will tell.
38:11Night, Jeff.
38:26Bodybuilding bigamy all in a day's work.
38:29All that paperwork has got me a little peckish.
38:31Want to grab some burgers?
38:33We just had burgers.
38:34I know, but once you get a taste, don't you want more?
38:37True.
38:38But like I said earlier, Jess and I have been trying to eat healthier.
38:42Like salad?
38:43Yeah, like salads.
38:44Okay.
38:45So, burger over salad.
38:47What'll it be?
38:54It's Jessica.
38:56She's making fish.
38:58Guess you don't have to decide after all.
39:02Can I at least give you a ride?
39:04No, I'm good.
39:05You can head home.
39:06Have a good night.
39:08You too.
39:14Hey.
39:16You, uh, you busy?
39:19Nope.
39:19Remember that Mustang in lock-up?
39:30Okay, yeah, it says enough.
39:33Drive with your hands.
39:35Gates!
39:36Gates!
39:38Gates!
39:39Gates!
39:47Hello?
39:49Go Ellis?
39:52Yes?
