00:24Hey, good morning.
00:25Good morning.
00:25How you doing, we good?
00:27Morning.
00:28What can I get you?
00:28Miss?
00:30Are you okay?
00:34Oh my gosh!
00:35Help!
00:36I'm sorry, please!
00:56Good morning.
00:57I can't believe I worked on that stupid thing for two weeks.
01:00Paul Cezanne hated everything he ever painted and he's considered one of the greats.
01:04Yeah, after he died.
01:05Well, he worked on the large bathers for seven years.
01:08I don't have years.
01:10I have art school reps coming to my showcase soon and I've literally got nothing.
01:13You have a couple days, plus I really like what you've done so far.
01:17You're my mom.
01:18You're supposed to love it.
01:19That is not true.
01:20That textile thing you did was boring.
01:22And a little derivative.
01:23Okay.
01:24Uh, why don't you go and pack your bag for your dad's house?
01:27Okay.
01:28Yeah.
01:29Art isn't like your job, Mom.
01:31I don't just get to look around and like notice things.
01:35It's a little more than that, but okay.
01:37I have to come up with something completely original.
01:39Something so undeniable it stands out.
01:42Because if I don't then I might not get another shot at being noticed or getting a scholarship.
01:46Hey, listen.
01:47I lived with an artist before you came along, remember?
01:50Your dad used to fill up so many garbage cans with some really beautiful stuff that he thought was trash.
01:55You know the points where he was the most frustrated and he was about to give up?
01:59That's usually when he would come up with something very special.
02:02And you will too.
02:05But you can't give up.
02:08Okay. Okay. I got it.
02:10What if your final showcase piece is the trash can full of your art?
02:15Okie doke.
02:16Uh, I got an idea.
02:18How about over the next couple days you want to talk to your sister, you just run it by me
02:21first, okay?
02:22Okay.
02:22Rauschenberg would have called that a finish piece.
02:23I know. Have a wonderful day.
02:24I love you.
02:25Love you too.
02:28No, I'm saying if you want to judge my lavender oat milk latte, you should at least try it first.
02:33No, I don't think so.
02:35Lavender is for soap, not for sipping.
02:37Gosh.
02:39You know you really didn't have to drive me.
02:41You're on the way.
02:42Hmm.
02:45You're welcome.
02:51Yeah.
02:53Yeah, I can head right over.
02:54Just shoot me the address.
02:59Oh, I'm already there.
03:06Oh!
03:07What's going on here?
03:07Bring your girlfriend to work day?
03:09Lucia's one of the managers here.
03:10She handles all their VIP guests.
03:12Does she want to comp me a room sometime?
03:13I'll ask her.
03:14Really?
03:16Everyone's on fire this morning.
03:18Major Crimes got the call because she's high profile.
03:21She is?
03:21Who is she?
03:24Vera Hensley from The Big Fix with Vera and Frank.
03:26I've never seen it.
03:27It's a husband and wife team.
03:28They repair houses, do renovations, things like that.
03:31Oh, well, I've got three kids.
03:33I don't really have time to build my own deck.
03:35She's not exactly dressed for a pool day.
03:37What's she doing out here?
03:38I talked to a few hotel guests who said she was already laying here when they came up this morning.
03:41So you think she's been here all night?
03:42Maybe she stumbled out here drunk, fell in the pool and hit her head.
03:45No.
03:47Look at her hair.
03:47It's styled.
03:50I mean, it's frizzy.
03:51I agree it got wet, but you ever seen a woman come out of the water?
03:55It'd be all plastered to the side of her face, not round and bouncy.
03:59It didn't rain last night.
04:00So how'd she get wet?
04:06Sprinklers.
04:08Yeah, they probably run at night when the guests aren't around,
04:11which means there was no one here to witness her attack.
04:13That's assuming that it happened here.
04:15Well, if she was killed somewhere else, we better find out where
04:17before Vera's killer has time to clean it up.
04:21Vera Hensley?
04:22Yes, anything you can tell us.
04:24Her room number, when she checked in.
04:25Oh, she's not staying here.
04:27But her husband, Frank Hensley, is a DNA guest.
04:32Do not announce.
04:33Very high profile.
04:35Only essential staff have access.
04:37He's been staying in the penthouse, checked in a few days ago.
04:42Okay, give us one of those master key cards.
04:44We're gonna go snoop around his room.
04:46We'll knock.
04:47Can you access cameras?
04:48Uh, we only have cameras by the pool, the elevator, and the lobby, but I...
04:52Huh.
04:53That's weird.
04:55These cameras were, uh, turned off last night.
04:57Off or erased?
04:59I wouldn't know.
05:00I'm just relations.
05:02I'll put our IT team on it.
05:03Let's go talk to your VIP.
05:07Vera and I were never apart.
05:08We live together, we work together.
05:12Our show is our life.
05:14Is it true you guys met at a hardware store?
05:16You watch the show?
05:18My girlfriend and I are moving into a place that needs a bit of work, and, uh, the big fix
05:22taught me a lot.
05:23Our first place together was a two-bedroom house off Van Ness.
05:27Crooked floors, no storage, no light.
05:29Every project started as a problem that Vera and I couldn't afford to ignore.
05:34Can I ask what time the two of you went to bed last night?
05:36Vera wasn't staying here.
05:38So this isn't her bra?
05:45I invited some friends over last night.
05:48I guess it got kinda wild.
05:50Mr. Hensley, if Vera wasn't here with you last night, why was she at the hotel?
05:54I wish I knew.
05:55Okay.
05:56So where's the lamp?
05:58And the brass candle holders and the stone bookend.
06:05I don't know.
06:08So his wife dies in the same hotel he's staying in and he never saw her?
06:13Please.
06:14Sounds like Vera found out that Frank was here partying, confronted him, and things got out of hand.
06:17Okay, so why aren't we bringing him in?
06:19Because we need evidence.
06:19Right now we can't even prove that Vera came up to this floor.
06:22Whoa, whoa, whoa!
06:24Uh, that'll do it.
06:29Yeah, they're taking me in right now.
06:34Where'd you park?
06:35On the street.
06:36Like a sane person.
06:37You think I'm paying hotel prices?
06:38We reimburse.
06:39You do?
06:40Yeah, you save the receipt, fill out an expense report.
06:42God, no, forget it.
06:43You lost me.
06:43Bye.
06:50It's not too late.
06:51We can be together where there's no cities.
06:53There's seasons and frosty trees.
06:57Oh boy.
07:06I know.
07:07It's terrible.
07:08Try not to worry too much.
07:09I love you.
07:10Bye.
07:15Everything okay?
07:16Hmm?
07:17Yeah.
07:17Lucia's just having a hard time.
07:19With what?
07:20Uh, with the murder at her hotel.
07:23Most people don't show up to work expecting to see a dead body.
07:25Right.
07:26Just last week I was watching Vera and Frank put together a banquette,
07:29and now we're trying to find out if you killed her.
07:33Is this new?
07:35Oh.
07:36Yeah.
07:37It's a gift from Lucia.
07:39It's gypsum sand.
07:41She said it's rare.
07:43Like what we have.
07:47She's right.
07:48It is rare.
07:52I loved Vera.
07:53The kind of love where you rent out the penthouse suite to hook up with other women, right?
07:57No.
07:57So the bra was yours?
07:59We checked your records, right?
08:00This wasn't the first time you wanted to fly solo, was it?
08:02But you thought what she didn't know wouldn't hurt her.
08:04Only she did find out.
08:05About the women, the lies, the partying.
08:07You went behind her back while telling the world that you loved her.
08:10I did.
08:11Vera and I were always honest with each other.
08:13Okay?
08:14I don't know what she was doing in that hotel.
08:15I didn't even see her.
08:17Okay, so you're cheating on your wife in the same home.
08:19You heard Lucia works at that hotel?
08:22Small world.
08:23Yeah.
08:25I guess.
08:26Being the happy couple that you see on TV, fixing houses.
08:29That was our brand.
08:30Okay?
08:31That wasn't who we were.
08:32Not always.
08:33Sometimes...
08:34Look, we like to do our own thing.
08:37As far as I know, having a good time is not a crime.
08:39No, it is not.
08:40But, knocking your wife out when she walks in on you with another woman
08:43and then moving her dead body so you can clean up the evidence,
08:45that would be a crime.
08:46My client said enough.
08:48Call us when you actually have something.
08:55The bloody fingerprint on the elevator button matches Vera's blood and print.
08:59Hmm.
09:00So we know Vera went up to the penthouse.
09:02That means Frank either wasn't there at the same time
09:03or he's lying about not having seen her.
09:05I checked the hotel records.
09:06Frank and Vera had a joint account at the Blackwell Hotel.
09:08So if one of them booked a hotel room,
09:10the other would receive a digital key on their phone automatically.
09:13Then maybe Vera saw where Frank was
09:15and wasn't as happy about his partying as he wants us to believe.
09:18Okay, and what about the items that were missing from the hotel room?
09:21Yes.
09:22Found them in the hotel dumpster and pieces on the penthouse floor.
09:26Looks like there was a fight and someone tried to clean up.
09:28But there was one item we couldn't find anywhere.
09:32The Emmy says Vera's head wound is consistent with the shape and size of that bookend.
09:37So we know what the murder weapon was, but we don't know where it is.
09:40Tell me the hotel cameras caught something.
09:42CCU is still working on it, but we should know soon.
09:44Did you talk to the people Frank was partying with?
09:46Yeah, he gave us four names, all friends. Most of them worked for him.
09:50His manager, Aaron Rothman.
09:52One of his producers, Lois Mandel.
09:55His stylist, Talia Cruz.
09:57And last, his best friend from college, Boyd Hollis.
10:01Do we think they're covering for him?
10:02Well, if they worked for him,
10:03they have financial motives to keep Vera from going public about Frank's indiscretions.
10:07Boyd took some photos of their party last night.
10:13Wait a second.
10:17Who's this guy?
10:21None of Frank's friends mentioned anyone else being around last night, did they?
10:24And you've never seen him before?
10:26No.
10:27You guys?
10:29Maybe someone at the hotel knows who he is?
10:31Morgan and I will go back.
10:32We can check with Lucia.
10:33Maybe ask around.
10:38You gonna get that?
10:40Kinda thought it was decorative.
10:44Hello?
10:45Morgan.
10:46This is Willa Quinn.
10:48What do you want?
10:50To warn you about the danger you're headed into.
10:54Believe it or not, I'm not your enemy.
10:55I'm the person that warns you before the enemy reaches you.
10:59The way it reached Eric Hayworth?
11:01I think we both know that wasn't a suicide.
11:04There's no way to catch up when the people that are helping you are helping me too.
11:10Back off, Morgan.
11:11If you wanna threaten me, I think you should come and do it to my fate.
11:13Did she just hung up on me?
11:22Willa said the people helping you are helping her too.
11:25Those were her exact words.
11:27Yep.
11:29So either she's got someone working for her in the precinct or she wants me to think that she does.
11:34What?
11:37Willa was seen leaving the Beverly Palms Country Club with Nick Wagner Sr.
11:42Captain Wagner's father.
11:43What?
11:44Do we know why?
11:45No.
11:46A while back, the captain flat out asked me how to get you to let him in on the Roman
11:49investigation,
11:50so I think we need to consider the possibility that both Wagners are working with Willa.
11:57Does he know we know this?
11:59If Soto asked him about his involvement, he denies having any.
12:04Thank you for telling me.
12:10Does he look familiar?
12:12Yeah.
12:13He's a guest.
12:14Or was.
12:15He checked out a few minutes ago.
12:19Charles Hale.
12:20Yep.
12:21That's him.
12:22Got a phone number?
12:25Uh-huh.
12:26Thanks.
12:31You're for Detective Caraday?
12:33Charles.
12:34Thanks for coming in.
12:36Right this way.
12:39Plane leaves in a few hours.
12:41This won't take long.
12:42Please, have a seat.
12:44Just a few questions.
12:45It's my understanding you're staying at the Blackwell Hotel, correct?
12:48Yeah.
12:48Is this about Vera Hensley?
12:50It is.
12:51How do you know her husband?
12:52I don't.
12:52Met him at the hotel bar.
12:55Recognized him from Big Fix.
12:56Hmm.
12:56Figured, what the hell.
12:57Say hi.
12:59Then he introduced me to all his friends.
13:02Was Vera with them?
13:03No.
13:04Did you hear or see anything that would make you think that Frank or his friends might want to hurt
13:08Vera if she were there?
13:10No.
13:12But...
13:13There was a guy.
13:14Forties.
13:15White.
13:16He was on his own.
13:17He was looking for her.
13:19He gave me a bad vibe.
13:21Did you get a good look at this guy?
13:22Enough to give us a description.
13:31Hey.
13:33Hey.
13:34There you are.
13:36I was looking for you.
13:37Yeah.
13:37I figured we should probably talk.
13:41Which thing would you like to start with?
13:47Are you working with your father and Willa Quinn?
13:50No.
13:52Absolutely not.
13:55I believe you.
13:57Good.
13:59My subpoena to search Willa's office in New York got shut down.
14:02But I'm not done trying.
14:04Well, I had an idea.
14:06Only I can't do it.
14:08And you should certainly not get caught doing it.
14:17Okay.
14:17You got it.
14:20Well, I'll circle back to the other thing later.
14:23I'll look forward to it.
14:31Sorry.
14:32Sorry.
14:33You burned my house down yet?
14:34Thought about it.
14:36Can't figure out what you want to do still?
14:38I actually have one idea.
14:40But you might not like it.
14:42You don't have to like it?
14:44Well, that box of all Dad's stuff that you keep in your closet.
14:48Could I use it?
14:49For what?
14:50I don't know yet.
14:51But I promise I'll take good care of it.
14:53Ava, listen.
14:54I saved all that stuff for you, okay?
14:56You can do whatever you want with it.
14:58Really?
14:59Yeah.
15:00That's it.
15:00Don't touch anything else in my closet, okay?
15:02Gotta go.
15:03I'll see you soon.
15:13You think this is our guy?
15:14Yeah, we showed the sketch to Frank's friends, but none of them saw him.
15:17So, we're sending it over to hotel staff.
15:19Maybe we get lucky.
15:20Well, wait a sec.
15:23I've seen those eyes before.
15:26As much as I'd love to put Vera's killer together piece by piece, unfortunately, Morgan, we're not playing Mr. Potato
15:30Head.
15:32Yeah?
15:33Well, maybe we should be.
15:36You're telling me that's not the exact same mouth?
15:39And her nose and beauty mark?
15:42And her eyes and ears and this guy's forehead?
15:46The reason no one's seen our mystery man is because he doesn't exist.
15:50Charles just Frankensteined a bunch of features from Frank's friends together and we drew a picture about it.
15:56Where is he?
15:57He's gone.
15:58We had no reason to hold it.
16:00He's not answered.
16:02Daphne's got something for us.
16:04CCU was able to recover some footage from the Blackwell elevators off the hotel computer.
16:08I'm just looking through it.
16:09Emmy places Vera's death between two and four in the morning.
16:12Start looking around there.
16:13If she was killed in the penthouse, I don't think he'd wait to bring her to the pool.
16:16Here's something.
16:18Okay, you could fit a body in that cart.
16:50Lucia's on the way. I told her we have some questions about the investigation.
16:53I have something I need to tell you guys.
16:56I probably should have mentioned it earlier.
16:58What is it?
17:00Um, this morning I saw Lucia and Charles Hale together.
17:04They were having a conversation.
17:08A conversation?
17:10Yeah, I couldn't really make out what they were saying.
17:12It was something about no cities, just seasons and frosty trees.
17:17I don't know. I couldn't make sense of it.
17:18All I can tell you is it didn't make me feel good because they were very friendly.
17:26Well, Morgan Lucia works for the hotel and she talks to lots of the guests.
17:32You think that Lucia is involved with the man who may have killed Vera Hensley?
17:36Look, I don't want to be right about this.
17:38Well, that's good, Morgan, because you are not.
17:42Lucia's not seeing this man or involved with this investigation.
17:45When she comes in, we can ask her.
17:46Adam, I don't think you should be the one conducting this interview.
17:49Well, then watch me.
17:51The moment you see something you don't like, pull me out.
17:59I've never been in here before.
18:01Yeah, we don't use it very often.
18:05You have kids' toys. So nice.
18:09Well, with kids you want them to feel comfortable, safe, you know?
18:12Try to make a bad situation a little better.
18:15Careful. You make a great dad talking like that.
18:20So, how can I help you with your case?
18:24You got called into work pretty late last night.
18:26I did.
18:27What did they call you to the hotel for?
18:29Apparently, Frank Hensley's party got a little out of hand.
18:32What'd you find when you got there?
18:34Between you and me?
18:36A mess.
18:37Some of the items in the room were even broken.
18:39I just cleaned it up, took it with me and left.
18:42How'd you get the stuff out?
18:43I put it all in a hotel meal cart.
18:45Rolled it right onto the elevator.
18:50Adam, what's going on?
18:51Wait, are people watching us right now?
18:54Yeah.
18:55This is a murder investigation.
18:56And if I wasn't asking the questions, someone else would be.
19:00When you got to the penthouse, who was there?
19:04No one.
19:05And how well do you know Charles Hale?
19:07Mr. Hale does a lot of business in LA.
19:10He stays at the Blackwell when he's in town.
19:12What else do you know about him?
19:13I don't do background checks on my guests, Adam.
19:16Well, the thing is, when we showed you his photo, you neglected to mention that he had been there before.
19:21Well, our guests expect discretion.
19:23If I had felt there was something important, I would have told you.
19:26We believe Vera Hensley was killed in the penthouse by Frank or Charles and then moved to the pool.
19:32And the only person that was in the elevator around her time of death was you.
19:38You think I took a dead woman downstairs in a hotel meal cart?
19:42No.
19:44But it is my job to figure out who did.
19:46Well, it's funny how your job seems to keep coming in between us.
19:49But this, this, I did not see coming.
19:54We're looking for Charles right now. Do you have any idea where he might be?
19:56How would I know that? I don't know him.
19:58Hmm.
19:59Then, what were you guys talking about on the street this morning?
20:06Businessmen like Charles are the type of VIPs we want coming back to the Blackwell.
20:11So that means sometimes I have to be a little friendly and sometimes a man like Charles can take that
20:15the wrong way.
20:16And when it happens, I make sure the line is clear.
20:21But Charles was...
20:23Trying to cross that line?
20:26First, he asked me for restaurant recommendations.
20:29Then he invited me to join.
20:31And I said no.
20:33And I said no again.
20:35And he followed me out onto the street and I told him to never come back.
20:41I'm sorry that happened.
20:46Maybe I should have told you. I just...
20:48I didn't want you to worry.
20:56Hey, I'll walk you out.
20:57Uh, that's okay.
20:58I'm on my way out.
21:03Charles told me he's flying out today, so we're checking manifests.
21:06You didn't ask about the no cities frosty trees thing.
21:09That's what Charles said to her.
21:10That's what you thought you heard.
21:11Hey Morgan, we already know Charles is lying.
21:13Do you have any reason to believe that Lucia's lying too?
21:20Lying is a really strong word, but...
21:22Yeah, I think there's something she's not telling us.
21:25What I saw was a woman whose boyfriend was accusing her of being involved in someone's murder.
21:29I can't imagine what that must have been like for her.
21:31I know what it was like for me though.
21:33I'm gonna get an update from Daphne and Oz.
21:38Hey.
21:40You want me to be honest with you, right?
21:42I just think it would be smart to bring her back in and ask a couple more questions.
21:45That's not your call, Morgan.
21:46I'm sorry.
21:47I know this is uncomfortable for you, okay?
21:49Soto could talk to her, or you know what?
21:51I'd be happy to...
21:52Do you want Lucia to be guilty of something?
21:56What does that mean?
21:57Where are we at with Charles Hill?
21:58Still monitoring the cell number he gave the hotel.
22:01No location yet.
22:01I hope you know...
22:02Know what?
22:04Is that being okay?
22:05I get that this is hard for you,
22:06but you and I both know that if it was anyone else in that room,
22:09you would be asking tougher questions.
22:11Are you accusing me of not doing my job?
22:13It's not just your job. This is personal.
22:15I know exactly what this is.
22:17And I don't need you managing me.
22:20I am not one of your kids, Morgan,
22:22so stop treating me like one.
22:23Go, please.
22:28And I'm hoping for you to take a moment.
22:39I can't wait for you to go.
22:41I'm waiting for you to go.
22:42I can't wait for you to go.
22:42I hope you're not going to be gonna be your best.
22:43I can't wait.
22:43I can't wait for you to go.
22:43I don't know.
22:43I can't wait for you to go.
22:49Look.
22:50I'm alright.
22:51I want to go.
22:51You're sorry.
22:52I'm so sorry.
22:52I can't wait for you to go.
22:52I can't wait for you.
22:59We need someone who is familiar with the levers of government
23:02and actually knows how to use them.
23:10Excuse me one minute.
23:12Ms. Quinn and I do tend to move in similar circles,
23:16if that's what you're after.
23:17That job that you had me off for Morgan didn't come from you, did it?
23:20It's okay. No offense taken.
23:22It's nice to be wanted.
23:24Uh, speaking of Willa, should we hunt around,
23:27see if we can go find her here, or...
23:30Would you rather just make a phone call?
23:38I see you've decided not to take my advice.
23:41What a shame.
23:43No, a shame is my daughter losing out on 15 years with her father
23:47and that look on your face.
23:50Okay.
23:52I'm here.
23:55What do you want to say?
23:56This will just take a minute.
23:57You know, when I was growing up,
23:59my father liked telling people he was self-made,
24:02got there on merit,
24:03which wasn't true.
24:05There were people in your way
24:06who suddenly lost credibility,
24:08jobs, everything.
24:09Some of them even disappeared.
24:11And back then, I didn't understand.
24:14Now I do.
24:17It was you.
24:19Well, you're right.
24:20I've helped your father.
24:22I've made introductions.
24:23I've given advice, sometimes quietly.
24:26That's what I do.
24:27I'm willing to expose all of it.
24:29Every ugly detail.
24:31You can't prove any of it.
24:32Oh, I think actually we can.
24:38Detailed logs of all of your calls,
24:40texts, and emails over the last year or so.
24:43Technology really is incredible, isn't it?
24:45You would not believe
24:46how many incriminating documents
24:48you can cram onto something this tiny.
24:50Well, if it's even real.
24:52Oh, it's real.
24:53The guy we met in our last case
24:54gave us an assist.
24:56Decent bowler, great hacker.
24:58That's fraud.
24:59Felony, inadmissible.
25:01Oh, absolutely, highly illegal.
25:03The courts would never allow it.
25:04But the press will.
25:05You would really destroy
25:06your father's life like this?
25:08Oh, I wouldn't worry so much about him.
25:10There's lots of stuff about you on this file.
25:12I find that highly doubtful.
25:14Mr. Wagner and I
25:16don't keep up much with correspondence.
25:18No, you don't.
25:19But he really loves bragging
25:20to his high-powered friends
25:21about his connections to you.
25:22You can't shut up about it.
25:23This is your leverage?
25:25Well, if it isn't,
25:26you have nothing to worry about.
25:28But if it is,
25:29you know how to stop it.
25:35Tell me what happened to Roman.
25:40I've tried very hard
25:42to keep this from reaching
25:44your life.
25:45If you're doing all of this
25:47to get answers for one child,
25:49has it even entered your brain
25:51that you are inches away
25:52from putting baby Chloe
25:54and Elliot in danger?
25:56Okay.
25:57I'm done.
26:26I'm done.
26:27No, no, no, no.
26:28Come on, what are you doing?
26:29Stay away from me.
26:30Get back in the car.
26:31Okay, fine, fine, fine.
26:32Go, go.
26:33You don't get to say my kids' names.
26:35You have no idea what you're doing.
26:37I'm trying to warn you.
26:38Tell me what you did.
26:40Who are you protecting?
26:42Okay, you need to think very carefully about what you are asking.
26:47Oh, my God.
26:48Just answer the question.
26:50Fine.
26:51I'll give you what you want.
26:52And then we'll see how badly you want to keep digging.
27:02Did you speed through the red before or after you ran into Willa's car?
27:07If she threatened my kids, you would have done the same thing.
27:12I wouldn't have ran the red.
27:15I have something you should see.
27:17Charles Hale's employment data didn't check out.
27:20Dates overlap.
27:21One company doesn't exist.
27:23So I ran his prints federally.
27:24I got hits under three different names.
27:25These guys have lived all over the place.
27:28Out on the border of New Mexico, San Angelo, Texas, Yakima, Washington.
27:32You know, I can run it in co-pilot.
27:35I'll have it categorized police reports by location, date, and name.
27:40Then color-code them by location and create a summary of the findings.
27:44Okay, here we go.
27:46I'm finding reports on alleged scams in multiple cities he's lived in.
27:49Look, he posed as a startup investor in Phoenix.
27:51Frank's a high-end real estate partner in Ojai.
27:54So he's not a businessman.
27:56He's a con man.
27:57So Frank was his next target.
27:59But why kill Vera?
28:01Well, hang on a second.
28:04Charles checked into the hotel the same day Frank did, except Frank was a do not announce.
28:11So, how did Charles know he was even there?
28:30You said Charles, or whatever his real name is, lived in Alamogordo?
28:34New Mexico.
28:35Yeah, why?
28:36That's by White Sands National Park, the largest gypsum doom field in America.
28:40Gypsum?
28:40Unlike quartz sand, gypsum sand dissolves completely in water, which makes it incredibly rare.
28:45Lucia gave this to Karadek.
28:47It can't be a coincidence.
28:48I think that she and Charles were in the same city at the same time.
28:51Where's Karadek?
28:57Yeah.
28:58Charles Hale is a con man, and I think Lucia is involved.
29:01Morgan, I'm not going to do this again.
29:03Okay, just hear me out, okay?
29:05The day that Frank checked into the Blackwell, I think Charles was tipped off.
29:08He came to the hotel to con Frank.
29:11Any idea what the con was?
29:12I mean, Frank and Vera's whole brand was that they were a happy couple, right?
29:15It made them millions.
29:16So, if Charles got evidence that Frank wasn't the devoted husband that he claimed to be...
29:21Frank would have paid anything to keep it from getting out.
29:23Charles was going to blackmail Frank.
29:25While Frank and his friends went to the pool, Charles was in the room alone.
29:29Vera walked in and caught him planting a recording device.
29:32So, he had to take out the witness.
29:46Okay, so how did Vera end up by the pool?
29:49She snuck out and she ran.
29:51But that elevator is slow, and she was afraid that Charles would come after her.
29:55So, she took the stairs, but we didn't see it because there were no cameras there.
29:58It was dark. She was disoriented.
30:03Lucia did clean the room like she told us, but she left out one thing.
30:06I think Charles was back in that room.
30:10Unless Charles could have done all of this on his own.
30:13There were two things that Charles could not have done on his own.
30:16You think she erased the video tape?
30:22And she tipped off Charles in the first place that his next big mark just walked into her hotel lobby.
30:28That's why Lucia's been so upset.
30:31She's the one who brought Charles Hale into the Blackwell Hotel.
30:41I'm really sorry.
30:45I'll call you back.
31:14Oh, Charles, please!
31:18Lucia!
31:19You won't listen to me.
31:21It's okay.
31:23Let me handle it.
31:27Charles!
31:27I need you to put the safety on and drop it to the ground.
31:30Please!
31:31I don't think so.
31:35You know, I got a feeling that you care about Lucia as much as I do.
31:39Do not do something that she will have to live with for the rest of her life.
31:42Okay?
31:44Don't do that to her.
31:46Charles, there are some things that you and I cannot change no matter how much we want to.
31:52But what we can decide is how this ends.
31:55I can think of a bunch of ways we can turn this day around.
31:57But they all start with you dropping that gun.
32:24How did you know we would be here?
32:29No cities, just seasons, frosty trees.
32:33Those fans are there to keep the frost off the trees.
32:36That and Charles, or whatever his real name is, was trying to buy this place.
32:40Just an instinct, I guess.
32:41I didn't come here to run away with him, Adam.
32:46I just didn't want anyone else to get hurt.
32:53We met in New Mexico.
32:55I was still getting over you, and he seemed to understand that.
33:02Did you know what he did?
33:03Not at first.
33:06But when I found out, he said he wanted to change.
33:09He just needed, like, a couple more big paydays first.
33:13So I helped him.
33:15I pointed to a couple high-profile guests at other hotels.
33:20But he didn't change.
33:22So I left.
33:24I came back here.
33:27I bumped into you.
33:29And then he showed up at the Blackwell and told me if I didn't find his next mark,
33:33that he was going to make sure my cop boyfriend learned everything.
33:38But that if I did it, he would disappear for good.
33:42I didn't want him to destroy everything that we had.
33:45Adam.
33:52Where's the bookend he used to kill Vera?
33:58Adam, it's me.
34:07Yes, thank you.
34:09They got him.
34:10Charles is in custody.
34:12Everyone is safe.
34:13I just got this.
34:15What is it?
34:16Willa came through.
34:18This FBI agent, Lila Flynn, she was working undercover, and she was murdered.
34:22Mm-hmm.
34:22Turns out she was dirty.
34:25Oh, it looks that way.
34:26Selling intel, laundering money.
34:29There's something else.
34:31What?
34:44They suspect that Roman was working with her, and when she decided to come clean, he killed her.
34:53This was a scandal too big for the FBI, and Willa helped them bury it.
34:58Security cameras.
34:59Caught these outside Lila's house the day she was murdered.
35:03That's Roman's car.
35:08No.
35:10I'm done.
35:11Let's be done.
35:14Can you give us a minute?
35:23What does that mean?
35:24Stop digging, okay?
35:27Listen, I don't know.
35:28It doesn't matter anymore.
35:29It's just not safe.
35:31It's not safe.
35:31It's never been safe.
35:33Eric Hayworth?
35:34This woman?
35:35I don't know.
35:36I don't know what's true.
35:37All I know is that if anything were to happen to any of you...
35:39Morgan, stepping away is simply not an option anymore.
35:42Oh, my God.
35:42Okay?
35:43I'm scared too, but I can take care of myself.
35:48Whatever happens, we'll do it together, okay?
36:06Hey.
36:08Hey.
36:11Come in.
36:22How you doing?
36:24The unis are taking Lucia to the precinct now.
36:26Oh, God, I'm sorry.
36:28You don't have anything to be sorry for.
36:31I'm sorry.
36:32You warned me, I should have listened.
36:34She'll be charged with accessory after the fact.
36:36I care, Doc.
36:36Though with the other cons that her and Charles were involved in,
36:40the charges will increase.
36:41Adam.
36:52I can't believe this is happening.
36:57I just cannot believe it.
37:01I feel so stupid.
37:02No, don't.
37:03Please don't do that.
37:06You did it right.
37:09You did.
37:09You opened your heart.
37:10You let her in.
37:13That's always going to be the right move.
37:18I believed her.
37:21I believed she wanted a life with me.
37:26No, I don't even know who this person is.
37:28Yes, you do.
37:29Yes, you do.
37:33You do.
37:34It's the same person.
37:35You just...
37:38You just loved her too much to see the things that you didn't want to see.
37:45It's okay.
37:49It's going to be okay.
37:52It's going to be okay.
38:02I get to go see Ava's art show.
38:05You want to come with me?
38:07I would love to, but I have some things that I really need to take care of.
38:11You know?
38:12Okay.
38:14But I'm here if you need me.
38:19I know.
38:28I'll see you.
38:50I'm so glad you made it.
38:53Well, what do you think?
38:59Ava, this is...
39:01Boring.
39:02Yes, I just fell asleep.
39:03No, buddy, this is incredible.
39:10I am so impressed.
39:11You did this all by yourself.
39:16Well, I guess I had some help from my dad.
39:21Yeah, I guess you did.
39:26You're not going to start crying, are you?
39:28Please don't embarrass me.
39:29My little baby girl did this one.
39:31Oh, God, Mom.
39:39Hey, what's going on?
39:40Hey, my father gave me a name.
39:42It's an old FBI ghost that was there when everything went down with Roman.
39:46I'm meeting him tonight.
39:47Tonight?
39:48Well, I got to come with you.
39:50No, you need to stay away until I get eyes on this guy.
39:52I'll be fine.
39:53You'll be there.
39:54Come on, I need to talk to him.
39:58Okay.
40:009.30, Rancho Park, south side of the pond.
40:03Okay, I'll see you soon.
40:26All right.
40:28Draw the blinds, light every candle.
40:34Slip off my pretty dress, down my chest,
40:41when I think of you.
40:45Every night, both lips on the mirror.
40:51It's ritualistic, counter-lipstick
40:58Stains where you should be
41:03Oh, I need you all
41:10I'm getting close now
41:14Do you picture me like I picture you
41:20Am I in the frame from your point of view
41:24Do you feel the same, I'm just gonna say
41:29I know the things I do
41:33When I picture you
41:37When I picture you
42:02Do you picture me, I got a picture you
42:07Am I in the frame from your point of view
42:11Do you feel the same, I'm too scared to see
42:17Half of the things I do
42:21When I picture you
42:24Do you feel the same, I'm too scared to see
42:54Jampos hour
42:57Ha!
43:00No!
43:04It's fine
43:05Yeah
