00:00Previously on Will Trent.
00:01There's this guest lecture coming up about human parasites.
00:04I thought you might be interested.
00:05Why, Yash?
00:06Amanda was secretly working with a contact at the FBI.
00:09Why didn't she say anything?
00:11Well, I've left you a little present.
00:12No.
00:14No, no, no.
00:17Amanda.
00:26Amanda entered the APD, a young woman.
00:29For some of us old timers, she was wags.
00:33She had this gift of seeing who you could be,
00:36and then pushing you down that path.
00:39Amanda found me.
00:40She was planning a life with you.
00:42You're connected.
00:44She is your family.
00:51Hey! Come back here!
00:55Steve!
00:55Stop him!
00:59I saw you!
01:05Hey!
01:07I saw you!
01:08Hey!
01:08Hey!
01:24Wilbur Trent!
01:26Get up.
01:27The captain wants to see you.
01:29Me?
01:30Why?
01:31Beats me. Guess he must be somebody special.
01:40Okay. Here we go.
01:44Murder.
01:49Victim one, Ethan Addis, age 53, research biologist.
01:57The second victim is Krista Sanderton, 28, Mr. Addis' girlfriend.
02:15Look at your marks indicate that both victims were strangled.
02:22Minor injuries on their bodies suggest a struggle.
02:35Could you all just give me a few minutes here alone, please?
02:44So both victims were alive when you and your crew arrived this morning?
02:47Yeah. The girlfriend answered the door, took us to the kitchen to meet Ethan.
02:51Once we got started, all the work was in the kitchen and upstairs bathroom,
02:54so we never saw them again.
02:56Until you found the bodies.
02:57We were finishing up. I needed a signature.
03:00Called it in, got my guys outside, waited for you to show up.
03:03So your crew was working here all day. You didn't hear anything? You didn't see anything?
03:06I swear it's the truth.
03:16Ethan Addis was a seeker.
03:19Absorbed in this work.
03:24Salt water aquarium.
03:28Terrarium.
03:32Get a list of species.
03:35Krista's purse was emptied.
03:37Content scattered.
03:38Could be a botched robbery.
03:41Plastic tubing from the aquarium corresponds with ligature marks.
03:45Murder was impulsive.
03:51house was unlocked the intruder slipped in ethan called him they fought ethan was strangled and
03:58then krista came in and she was strangled too no no she would have screamed run called for help
04:06okay so so it was krista who came in and surprised the intruder and so then she was strangled first

05:05weird scene huh what's your take on it honestly i uh
05:14i have no idea what happened in here
05:31introspection died for thoughts they weaken men
05:35while the tyrants manipulate and poison them
05:40mental attraction desires such a fecal thing
05:46no satisfaction if you let yourself give in
05:52hey hey how's it going with the plumbers well so far background checks are all clean we're
05:59cross-checking statements for any inconsistencies looks like ethan at us with some kind of smarty

06:45okay well we should go talk to ward falcon okay hey is trying all right
06:54probably not
06:58he took copies of everything went to his office i think
07:02i think he's yeah well it's gonna be weird for all of us for a while
07:10yeah it occurred to me that we take this simple thing that we all do for granted
07:14your sleep has always been biologically restorative but i believe it has the potential
07:18to be transformative and is that the focus of your current work dr edis
07:23hey without getting into specifics i've been testing a few formulations i always take my cues
07:27from nature whatever we can imagine nature has already solved
07:33what do you want to call seth
07:36calling seth mcdale
07:41hey um seth i uh do you have any time today it's about a case could use your help great

10:51what happened and who are you you're fine this is a rather elaborate protocol for a pretty small
10:57problem what sort of problem the sample from the az case something from one of the glass tanks is
11:02technically a neurotoxin it was put in the wrong kind of container there's no threat of exposure to
11:07you but we still have to test everyone send them home and air the place out shall we
11:20i'm thinking of trying that new noodle place down the street you been i hear good things no

19:52can't seem to get my mind clear
19:56my hands are so cold
20:02my hands are so cold
20:34I
20:35Came down here to look at the bodies
20:41Someone attacked me
20:44That's a good brain you got there. It's a shame. You don't really use it for more than just getting
20:49by
20:52You know, you don't know anything about me something else is going on this isn't real
20:59It's in my head obviously
21:03But why I got attacked
21:07It on the head I must be unconscious
21:15Excellent
21:17Why is it so cold figure it out?
21:20Oh, what you gonna tell me you can't because life has been unfair you can't read
21:25People say you're stupid
21:29Why were you always so hard on me because
21:33My father's father was hard on him. He was hard on me
21:38And now being hard on you so think if you were the attacker and you didn't want to get caught
21:45What would you do? I'd hide the body?
21:48The cold I've been feeling the dread the whole world closing in on me
21:58I know where I am
22:11Okay, fine. Thank you. Bye
22:15Are these Krista Sanderson yes a.k.a.
22:20Kristen Sandville they both are three years ago?
22:24She was arrested for check fraud Fulton County six months later took a collar for slinging counterfeit Gucci bags out
22:30the back of her trunk
22:31Well, so much for being receptionist
22:32Well, she kind of was earlier this year
22:35She was at the front desk of Mount Olympus athletic club
22:37Oh, isn't that place expensive people join it for the flex
22:40Exactly. She was fired for ingratiating herself to male club members and ripping off their credit cards
22:47No charges were pressed because the club didn't want the scandal. Do you think she was scamming Ethan though?
22:53It's not like his pockets were that deep. I know
22:55Maybe it was one of the guys that she ripped off coming after her and Ethan was just collateral damage
23:05Have you seen well? He might have gone home. I texted and told him that I would cover him if
23:10he needed another day
23:14Oh my god
23:18God you guys are babies here
23:23Yeah, she had it at her house
23:28How you holding up?
23:33You know
23:33You know, I guess I thought that work would keep my mind busy, but yeah, I know
23:52Oh, why do I feel so
23:56peaceful
23:57Hmm
23:58Possibly the rise of carbon dioxide creates a sense of euphoria
24:04Right the more drawers to close by magnetic seal in the cold air creates a partial vacuum
24:12I'm gonna run out of air and suffocate
24:15Yes
24:16Excellent. Um, oh
24:19Look at this new suit
24:22Gotta look the part and you will pay me back
24:28That's right
24:30That's right
24:30You bought me my first good suit
24:34You saw something in me
24:35No, no, we're not doing this
24:37I mean, would it have killed you to invite me over to dinner?
24:41Ask about my life
24:43Told me
24:44About your wife
24:45God, this is a long elevator ride
24:47I don't know anything about your childhood
24:50Your mom
24:50Did you go to prom?
24:52Did you?
24:53Did you get in trouble?
24:55Uh-huh
24:56You look like you might have
24:58What did you expect?
24:59That we were gonna go get ice cream and sing ain't no mountain high enough together?
25:04Yes, why not?
25:05I mean, we both know the words
25:11You are a fool
25:13You are a fool
25:18Wilbur
25:21What happened to you?
25:25Well
25:25I'll spend the rest of my life
25:28Making it right with you
25:33Why'd you have to go looking for the commander alone?
25:37Why'd you keep so many secrets?
25:41I mean...
25:45It's my fault
25:46I shouldn't
25:47Yeah, hey, hey now
25:49Don't you dare
25:51Take credit
25:52For my actions, young man
25:54I make my own choices
25:58Yes, ma'am
25:58You've only got a couple of hours left
26:01How would you like to spend it?
26:03I want to solve a case with you
26:06I can clear my afternoon
26:18They were both strangled with the same tubing
26:22The marks are different, you see?
26:24Hmm
26:25Good
26:26Details first
26:28Most people tell themselves a story
26:30And then see the details that fit later on
26:33Go on
26:34Well, hers show more force
26:38She was strangled harder
26:40Longer
26:41She fall back more
26:43Or
26:45Maybe she mattered more
26:49But why?
26:51In my experience
26:52Murder tends to be motivated from one of three places
26:56The heart
26:57The loins
26:59Or the hands
27:00The hands?
27:01Boy, need I remind you of what you did with your hands?
27:05Yes
27:06I stole
27:07Exactly
27:08This work isn't for everyone
27:11But
27:12It could bring
27:13Purpose
27:15And meaning
27:16In a world filled
27:17With cruelty
27:21Wilbur
27:23It could make all that happen to you mean something
27:31I'm a doctor
27:32Very charming
27:33I like worms
27:34My first wife died
27:36It wasn't me
27:37It was cancer
27:39Recently
27:39I got married to the love of Will's life
27:42We're expecting a baby soon
27:43I'm very happy
27:46Okay
27:46Doctor
27:47You want to tell me what you're doing here?
27:49Oh
27:51Wil
27:54I called you
27:56I called you
27:57Yes
27:58It has something to do with
28:01With these photos
28:03Right
28:04Um
28:05Oh
28:06What was it?
28:07Uh
28:08Or
28:10Worms
28:11You're like worms
28:12You're like worms
28:13That's it
28:14Yes
28:14Wait
28:14We
28:15We learned about these
28:17Didn't we?
28:18Some type of
28:20Flatworm
28:20Um
28:22Nickname
28:22Uh
28:24Oh
28:24Come on
28:25Uh
28:26Lanchovies
28:27Right
28:28Yes
28:28Very aggressive
28:29Hunters
28:30They subdue their prey
28:31By rubbing up against them
28:33Yes
28:33Yes
28:33That's what I was trying to remember
28:34They uh
28:35Their skin secretes something
28:37Uh
28:38Let me think
28:39Um
28:39Hold on
28:40Let me think
28:41Uh
28:41Uh
28:44You know this right
28:46Because I'm an extension of you
28:47Tetrodotoxin
28:48That is a neurotoxin
28:50Wait a minute
28:50That's what the guy in the hazmat suit said to you
28:53Yes
28:53Yes
28:53Yes
28:53Yes
28:54Other animals have it too
28:55Starfish
28:55Newts
28:56That must be what all these pictures in Ethan's office have in common
28:59So what does this tetro do?
29:02Whatever the hell do?
29:03Well it depends on the amount
29:04It disrupts the signals to the muscles causing paralysis
29:07It lowers blood pressure
29:09Slows down breathing
29:10It tends to be lethal
29:11But the
29:12Oh
29:13Excuse me
29:14This thing
29:16Oh shoot
29:17I need to go save some children
29:19And make love to Angie
29:20No
29:21Don't
29:24I really enjoyed seeing you Will
29:25I hope you figure this out
29:27I don't want you to die
29:29Me neither
29:29Okay
29:30Okay
29:30Thank you Seth
29:31I will try
29:34Well he was very helpful
29:40Krista and I only worked together for a few months but
29:47No sorry no way was she in love with that guy
29:49We heard they were pretty happy
29:51Oh Krista was good at that
29:52She could make men believe anything
29:54Like our boss Simon
29:56She told him that waking up at 7am triggered her migraines
30:00So she never had to work the opening shift
30:02That girl was always working an angle
30:04Did she ever seem scared to you?
30:06Like somebody was bothering her or anything like that?
30:08Uh no
30:09She was fearless
30:11Too fearless I guess
30:15Where did you get that?
30:17Uh the founder's a member at the gym
30:19Ward Falcon?
30:20Did Krista know him?
30:21Yeah duh
30:22Didn't she go to work for him or something?
30:24She told me that after she got fired
30:26He was paying way more than what we made at the club
30:30I'll tell Faith
30:31You sit tight
30:34Uh Pulaski
30:35Hey
30:35You busy?
30:36I have 47 seconds and they are all yours
30:38Well I better make it count then
30:39Um
30:41I don't want to be dramatic but I'm a little worried about Will
30:44Yeah why?
30:45Well he's not picking up his phone
30:48He probably went home and turned off his ringer
30:50Anyway it was his first day back so
30:51Yeah but we were supposed to meet an hour ago
30:53He would have texted
30:54Right?
30:55I mean it's just
30:56I don't know it doesn't seem like him
30:59No it doesn't
31:02See right here
31:04Ever since Krista started dating Ethan
31:05She was receiving weekly payments from something called Somni LLC
31:09It's gotta be a shell company
31:11No doubt owned by Ward Falcon
31:13Mmm so he was paying her to steal Ethan's new formula
31:16Maybe she got caught
31:17Yeah but if anyone was gonna kill her for that
31:19It would have been Ethan
31:20Well they don't kill him
31:25Hey Angie
31:27What?
31:31Hey Pete
31:31Have you seen Will?
31:32Has he been down here?
31:33No
31:33He's missing he had photos of victims bodies on his desk
31:36We thought maybe he came down here
31:38What's wrong?
31:39I just got back from court
31:40I was about to change
31:41One of the bodies is missing
31:43What like it was misplaced?
31:44No no it was here when I left and now it's gone
31:52How the hell does that happen?
31:59Will!
32:01Get in here!
32:01We're running out of time!
32:08Look what I found!
32:10Oh yeah!
32:12Ethan had the same painting in his study
32:15Greenland shark
32:16Um
32:17It's all I know
32:20Oh come on
32:21Calvin and his big book of shark facts would slap you if they heard you say that
32:27I feel sick
32:29I know
32:31You're running out of oxygen
32:34But Wilbur
32:35I need you to try
32:41Okay
32:46The greenland shark
32:47The greenland shark
32:48It can live up to 500 years
32:51This is the cold water
32:53And it's slow
32:55Their hearts
32:56It's slow
32:57Slow the heartbeat the longer it lasts
33:03Worm toxin slows everything down
33:08Maybe Ethan was using it in his sleep formula to live longer
33:13There
33:15See
33:17I'm gonna make sure
33:18You go to college
33:20Wait what?
33:22No I'm no good at school
33:24No college would take me
33:26Oh I don't wanna hear it
33:27You need a degree
33:28To come work here
33:29At the GBI
33:31That's where I'm headed
33:33Here
33:35They think I should be happy
33:37With Captain
33:40No
33:42I'm just getting started
33:43And you're coming with me
33:46I have a vision
33:55You're trying to make fun of me
33:59College
34:01GBI
34:01I can't do that
34:03Okay? Don't do this to me again
34:06Wilbur
34:08I'm offering you
34:10A future
34:12With me
34:13If I take it
34:15You die
34:20You died man
34:22You died
34:27Who is that?
34:29It was bad news
34:30It was bad news
34:31Come on
34:40Maybe he's here to help
34:42No
34:42He doesn't want us together
34:47What was the first thing you saw?
34:49After you got knocked out?
34:51Nothing
34:52Everyone was gone
34:54You saw the man in the hazmat suit
34:56He told you there was a neurotoxin at the crime scene
35:00Your instinct hasn't left you just because I died
35:03Or you gonna keep telling yourself you can't do this without me
35:09I kept waiting
35:11For this idea
35:13Who I thought you should be
35:18I realized I'll never say
35:20Will
35:21It's okay
35:21I know
35:23I know
35:36Thank you for believing in me
35:38Thank you for believing in me
35:54There were signs of a struggle
35:58Gas on his cheek
36:04It was Krista
36:07Broken nail
36:08They were fighting each other
36:13A purse
36:14Ethan
36:15Ethan was searching it
36:20That was the formula he was working on
36:22She was stealing it
36:24He strangled her in rage
36:25But the plumbers were home
36:28He knew he'd get caught
36:31Ethan
36:33Wrapped the tubing around his own throat
36:36He took enough of the formula
36:37It would slow his heart to almost nothing
36:42Ethan Addis was never dead
36:46That's who attacked you
36:47He woke up and escaped
36:50No!
