00:00Previously on Wild Cards
00:01You're really gonna make me say it?
00:03Oh yeah
00:03Fine, I need you, Max
00:04Do you have it?
00:05Maybe I can get forensics to lift a print off of it
00:07You guys have so many rules
00:08We're in this together
00:09But here's the difference
00:10You'll do whatever is needed to get what you want
00:12He has to play by the rules
00:14I just need to get through this
00:15Get my desk job back
00:17And then she's gone out of my life forever
00:25Yeah, I don't understand
00:27Oh, it's really not that hard to understand
00:28Well, it doesn't make any sense
00:30Therefore, I don't understand
00:31Whoa, Scrappy
00:32Scrappy, what's going on?
00:34We were in the car
00:34I was thirsty, okay?
00:36And he wouldn't give me a sip of his water
00:38Why not, Alice?
00:39Yeah, why not?
00:40Because then you get your lip gloss on
00:41And I don't want to drink from it
00:42It's gross
00:43Does it matter?
00:44My lip gloss?
00:45What's going on?
00:46Their honeymoon phase is officially over
00:48We never had a honeymoon phase
00:50They got the seven-year itch
00:51Except they did it in seven weeks
00:53You never listen to me
00:54You never think things through
00:55You two are spending too much time together
00:56Mm-hmm
00:57We'd take regular breaks from each other or else
00:58We'd go crazy
00:59We'd go crazy
01:00But you need a break
01:01Yes, that would be great
01:03Too bad
01:03You're up
01:08Dr. Sophie is dead?
01:10Who's Dr. Sophie?
01:14Dr. Sophie Fernwood
01:16She's written three self-help bestsellers
01:18As a hit podcast
01:19And an upcoming TV special
01:21According to her website
01:22Dr. S has helped millions of people find grounded
01:24In long-lasting happiness
01:26Through the lens of gratitude
01:27And emotional authenticity
01:28What a load of malarkey
01:30You're not into therapy, I take it?
01:33Therapists are the lowest of low
01:34On the con artist ladder
01:35They're not con artists, Max
01:37They're doctors
01:38They burrow into your mind
01:39And toy with your thoughts
01:40All for the purpose of making a profit
01:42That's a con artist
01:44Okay, yeah, they gotta make a living
01:45Just like any other doctor
01:47But their purpose is to help people
01:48Have you ever had therapy?
01:51Yeah
01:51Did it help?
01:55It's...
01:55See?
01:55Because you're not a teapot
01:57A teapot?
01:57According to Bruce Lee
01:58In order to have a strong mind
02:00It has to be like water
02:01Shapeless
02:01Formless
02:02Put water into a teapot
02:04It turns into a teapot
02:06Therapists try to turn you into teapots
02:08But you and me, my friend
02:09We cannot be molded
02:11Or manipulated
02:12We are not teapots
02:16I have no idea
02:17What you just said
02:25You ever get tired of that?
02:26Because I'll never get tired of that
02:28So this is what therapy buys, huh?
02:30It's what three best sellers
02:31And a lot of gullible people buy
02:355.5 mil
02:36That's my guess
02:40Make that 6 mil
02:41There's gotta be at least
02:42$500,000 in cash
02:44Just in this pool
02:48Maya
02:49I'm not a dream
02:49I'm not a dream
02:50I'm not a dream
03:03Has a dream
03:05You ััะฐััๆผ
03:06You think it's forgiveness
03:06You're not a dream
03:09Nothing always
03:09You make the ๅฟซ
03:11And you're not a dream
03:31Any idea what time she drowned?
03:34Nope.
03:35Okay, well, uh, when will you know?
03:38I won't.
03:39Why's that?
03:40Because she didn't drown.
03:42Everyone's a little punchy today.
03:43Today was supposed to be my day off, but my colleague had a travel emergency.
03:48As always, no respect.
03:51I hear that.
03:54When did she die?
03:55Last night, sometime between 8 p.m. and midnight.
03:58Blunt forced trauma to the temple.
03:59The blow caused an internal hemorrhage.
04:01She was dead when she hit the water.
04:02Any signs of a struggle?
04:04None that I can see.
04:05Forensics couldn't find a murder weapon.
04:07You got any ideas?
04:08Something with a really sharp edge.
04:11Maybe something that the killer grabbed at the last moment.
04:13I'll let you know if I find anything.
04:15Okay.
04:15Thanks.
04:25No sign of forced entry.
04:26No sign of a struggle.
04:27She had to have known the killer.
04:29We found a safe upstairs.
04:30Totally untouched.
04:31Same with all of her loose jewelry.
04:33A lot of high-end stuff there.
04:35So it wasn't a robbery?
04:36Nope.
04:39Well, the question is, what's with all the cash in the pool?
04:42Ma'am, can I come in here?
04:43I need to get inside.
04:44This is an active crime scene.
04:45I know.
04:46I'm Daphne, Dr. Sophie's business manager.
04:49So you're her business manager and her emergency contact.
04:53She doesn't have any family or friends.
04:55Her clients and fans are colleagues.
04:57We're her family.
04:58Why was it you needed to get in here?
04:59I need her laptop.
05:01Her latest book is on it.
05:02Dream interpretation.
05:03It'll be huge.
05:04Any one of these people could steal it.
05:06When the laptop's found, it'll be taken to evidence.
05:08So I gotta assure you, nothing's gonna be stolen off of it.
05:10Out of curiosity, how much would a leaked copy of one of those books go for?
05:14She got a million-dollar advance for it.
05:17Gotcha.
05:18Hey, guys!
05:19We need to find that laptop!
05:21Stat!
05:22Max.
05:24When was the last time you saw her?
05:26A few days ago, at the Fernwood.
05:27The Fernwood?
05:28It's the wellness center Sophie opened a couple of years ago.
05:31The physical embodiment of her life's work.
05:33The Fernwood has therapists who specialize in several types of treatments.
05:37She wanted to create a place where people could work on their issues through multiple disciplines.
05:40So multiple therapists tell you how messed up you are instead of just one.
05:45What was her mood like last time you saw her?
05:47Not great, actually.
05:49She was anxious, distracted.
05:54Oh, my God.
05:57Is everything all right?
05:59All three of her books just shot to the top of the bestseller lists.
06:02Again, now you understand how important it is that book not be leaked.
06:06Sales will be off the charts.
06:10That sounded terrible, didn't it?
06:11Yeah.
06:12I'm sorry.
06:13I still can't believe this is happening.
06:17Is there anything else I need to get back to the Fernwood?
06:20People started calling as soon as the news broke.
06:22We're holding a gathering so we can grieve together.
06:24A lot of people are going to feel very lost without her.
06:28Right.
06:29Well, one last question.
06:31Where were you last night?
06:34I was on a red-eye flight back from a publishing conference in London.
06:38I landed at six this morning.
06:40I still have the boarding pass on my phone.
06:42I'll take a look at that.
06:44Who's going to be at this gathering?
06:45Friends, clients, co-workers.
06:47Here it is.
06:53Okay.
06:54You're free to go.
06:58Show her out.
07:01So if everyone was close to her, she's going to be there.
07:03Maybe.
07:04The murderer will be there, too.
07:06You know, the most interesting thing about what she said is what she didn't say.
07:10I mean, yeah, she's Dr. Sophie's emergency contact, but she never once spoke about their friendship.
07:14Did you notice that?
07:16Lots of people who work together don't get along.
07:19Here.
07:20Maybe we can learn something from the lighthouse inside.
07:24Did you steal that?
07:25She had, like, 50 copies.
07:27This isn't evidence.
07:29Okay, there was still sealed inside the box.
07:32Oh, this one's signed.
07:34This is probably worth something now.
07:35Why did you take that?
07:36These people just lost their Pied Piper, which means they're vulnerable.
07:39Vulnerable people want to talk.
07:41So we're just going to speak their language.
07:43For example, all of your life, you've been told that you are the storm.
07:48You are the hurricane.
07:50In fact, you are the lighthouse.
07:53What the hell is that supposed to mean?
07:55It means that I am the lighthouse, and you are the dark storm.
07:59Don't you ever read self-help books?
08:01Do I look like I read self-help books?
08:03So when you're going through it, who do you talk to?
08:06Nobody, I guess.
08:08Well, there has to be someone.
08:10Mark.
08:11What?
08:12You talk to Mark, don't you?
08:14I do not talk to my cat.
08:16It makes so much sense now.
08:18You are the dark storm, and you tell your secrets to a cat.
08:22You know, now that I say it all loud, you sound kind of insane.
08:26Oh, me insane, yeah.
08:28This is coming from the woman who thinks she's a lighthouse.
08:30Okay.
08:42So many feels going on here.
08:45Lots of people, too.
08:46Any idea who we should talk to?
08:48I'd start with Joan, our cognitive behavioral therapist.
08:52She knew Sophie the longest.
09:06I still can't believe she's gone.
09:09I know.
09:10I don't believe I've introduced myself.
09:12My name is Maxine, and this is my husband, Colton.
09:16Hi.
09:17Hi.
09:19Were you too close?
09:20Very.
09:21We met in college.
09:23Then I was the first therapist that she hired here.
09:27Any idea who could have done something like this?
09:28No.
09:30Everybody loves Sophie.
09:32She was a light to so many.
09:35Oh, my stars.
09:39Sorry, my wife's just really upset, you know?
09:41Wendell Collins?
09:43Hi.
09:44I'm a huge fan.
09:45Do you mind if I get your autograph?
09:47Uh, not the time, honey.
09:48I'm sure he doesn't mind.
09:50Sorry, who are you?
09:51Wendell Collins, Anchorman, Channel 14 News.
09:54Oh, sorry, I don't really watch a lot of television.
09:56Are you saying I watch too much TV?
09:58Sorry to interrupt.
09:59Wendell, you're still okay to speak first?
10:01Yes, I can do it.
10:03Sophie.
10:06He could have been the killer.
10:07You're asking for autographs?
10:09You're always so suspicious.
10:10Yeah, I'm a detective.
10:11He's speaking at her memorial.
10:13He's clearly a fan.
10:22Everyone.
10:24Hi.
10:26Thank you for coming.
10:28We lost someone who changed all our lives,
10:31and the lives of millions around the world.
10:33A lot of you asked to say a few words,
10:35so let's start with one of Dr. Sophie's closest friends,
10:39our own Wendell Collins.
10:41Wendell?
10:49He's a lot better on TV.
10:51He's a lot better on TV.
10:57Uh...
11:00Wendell,
11:02everything you learned from Sophie
11:04is still inside you.
11:08Just...
11:08Speak your truth.
11:15I...
11:15Uh...
11:18I...
11:19I...
11:20Killed.
11:22I killed Dr. Sophie Fernwood.
11:27Maybe not such a fan.
11:35I killed Dr. Sophie Fernwood.
11:37I went to her house.
11:38We argued.
11:39I hit her on the head.
11:40She fell into the pool.
11:41I killed her.
11:43And why did you kill Dr. Fernwood?
11:47Maybe he needs a teleprompter.
11:50Okay.
11:51Can you tell us how you killed Dr. Fernwood?
11:53I went over to her house.
11:55We argued.
11:56I hit her.
11:57She fell into the pool.
11:58I killed her.
11:59Look, Mr. Collins,
12:00we understand that you confessed to the murder,
12:02but we're going to need more details than that.
12:04I killed Dr. Sophie Fernwood.
12:06I went over to her house.
12:08We argued.
12:09And I hit her.
12:10And she fell into the pool.
12:11I killed her.
12:15Yeah, I say it's drugs.
12:16These local news types,
12:17I get into some wild stuff.
12:19I've been to a couple industry parties.
12:21I got stories.
12:22Nobody's got time for your stories, Yates.
12:23Okay, speak for yourself.
12:25Tell me over drinks?
12:27Maybe.
12:28I'll think about it.
12:28Okay, focus, you two.
12:29There was just under $500,000 in cash
12:31floating in that pool.
12:32You think Wendell was paying off Dr. Sophie
12:34or the other way around?
12:35I saw the doc's house.
12:36She didn't need the money.
12:37Let's check Wendell's financials
12:38while we're checking hers.
12:39I bet you, Hyundai, he's faking it.
12:40He does the deed, confesses,
12:42flees crazy,
12:43and then he gets off.
12:44I've seen it before.
12:45But one thing we're missing is motive.
12:48Let's form one him.
12:50A couple days in the psych ward
12:50should help with whatever this is.
12:52Yep.
12:52In the meantime,
12:55let's go talk to the last person he was with.
12:57Hmm?
12:59Don't know what's going on.
13:01He was fine yesterday.
13:03Nothing seemed to be bothering him lately?
13:04I'm his producer.
13:05We, um,
13:07we talk work.
13:08We don't talk.
13:09That's what his therapist is for.
13:11Was for.
13:13Okay, but you did have dinner with him
13:14the night Dr. Sophie was killed.
13:16Uh, dinner with Wendell
13:17is him eating a steak
13:18while I take notes.
13:19We left Loggington's around 8.30,
13:20but I'm pretty sure
13:21he went out for drinks after.
13:22And we tracked his credit card
13:23to a lounge in Westboro.
13:24Which is in the complete opposite direction
13:26of Dr. Sophie's house.
13:27What was he seeing Dr. S for?
13:32The show's done for anyway.
13:36Wendell was seeing her for his anxiety.
13:38He started to trip up at the news desk.
13:40Before long,
13:41he could barely talk
13:42in front of other people.
13:43Wow.
13:44Well, the voice is smooth
13:45as Tennessee whiskey.
13:46Popular newscaster Wendell Collins
13:47was afraid of public speaking.
13:49Was there any indication
13:50that Dr. Sophie was threatening
13:51to expose Wendell's condition
13:52maybe to his boss?
13:53That would explain the money
13:54at the crime scene.
13:55Wendell's paying through his nose
13:56for two divorces.
13:58No way.
13:58Did he have hush money?
14:03What's this?
14:04Wendell's mantra.
14:05He says that before every broadcast.
14:08Has Wendell had any mental breakdowns
14:10in the past?
14:10Thanks for your help.
14:11I think we're done.
14:12Max.
14:14No, we're not.
14:15He didn't do it.
14:16He's innocent.
14:21So now you're not talking to me?
14:23You can't just do that.
14:24Do what?
14:24Just cut an interview short like that.
14:26Well, Wendell's innocent,
14:27so yeah, interview finito.
14:28Just because Jane said
14:29his whereabouts were accounted for?
14:31Why would she lie about that?
14:32I don't know.
14:33Sometimes people lie, Max.
14:34That's why you don't just
14:35cut an interview short.
14:36Besides, you didn't even tell me
14:37why you think Wendell's innocent.
14:39Because of the other clue
14:39that we got.
14:40Well, I got,
14:41but we're a team,
14:41so yay us.
14:43What are you even talking about?
14:45David's latent fear.
14:46Public speaking
14:47comes from the perception
14:48that being watched
14:49is an existential threat.
14:51Okay, so Dr. Sophie
14:53has a client named David
14:54who also has a fear
14:55of public speaking.
14:56What's your point?
14:57Dr. Sophie uses real case studies.
14:59She's just changing their names.
15:01This personalized mantra,
15:03this is who I am,
15:04and this is what I do,
15:05alleviated much of his anxiety.
15:08So Dr. Sophie
15:09was writing about Wendell.
15:11Wendell is David.
15:12But wait, there's more.
15:13The final ingredient
15:14in David's treatment plan
15:15doesn't work on everyone,
15:16but David
15:17was highly responsive
15:18to hypnosis.
15:19So Wendell Collins
15:21was hypnotized.
15:23Into confessing
15:23to Dr. Sophie's murder.
15:30How is hypnosis an alibi?
15:32That's not even a thing.
15:34It's yet another way
15:35therapists manipulate the mind.
15:37It's all a trick.
15:38There's no trick.
15:39It's just a state
15:41of relaxation or focus.
15:42Pretty effective
15:43in pain control,
15:44stress relief,
15:45and a healthy component
15:46of substance abuse
15:47treatment plans.
15:50What?
15:51My mom's a psychoanalyst.
15:53Cool.
15:53I didn't know that.
15:54Wouldn't kill you
15:55to ask me
15:55about my personal life
15:56sometimes.
15:57Psych called,
15:58confirmed that Collins
15:59was hypnotized
16:01into confessing
16:01to the murder.
16:03Huh.
16:04Did I really say that?
16:06I'm afraid so.
16:07But the psychiatrist
16:08we brought in
16:08has broken you
16:09in your hypnotic state.
16:10He says it's very likely
16:11you won't remember much.
16:12This is disastrous.
16:15My career is over.
16:17Oh, I don't know.
16:17You made headline news
16:19on your own network.
16:20I heard ratings
16:21were through the roof.
16:22Your producer said
16:23you two had a dinner meeting
16:24the night of the murder.
16:25We spoke to the restaurant.
16:26They also confirmed
16:27that the two of you
16:27were there until 8.30 p.m.
16:29And then you went
16:29for drinks afterwards,
16:31alone,
16:31and stayed there
16:32until past midnight.
16:34Also confirmed.
16:34So, we know
16:35you didn't kill Dr. Sophie.
16:36Of course I didn't
16:37kill Dr. Sophie.
16:38I would never hurt her.
16:39Someone wants us
16:40to believe you did.
16:41Who would want
16:41to set me up?
16:42Well, that's what
16:43we'd like to know.
16:43Besides Dr. Sophie,
16:45did you see
16:45any of the other therapists
16:46while at the center?
16:48As a matter of fact,
16:49I went through several.
16:51Art therapy,
16:52play therapy,
16:54outdoors therapy.
16:56And nothing tick?
16:57My fault, really.
16:59Someone whose job
17:00is communicating
17:00to millions of people
17:01has a fear
17:02of public speaking.
17:03I was embarrassed
17:03to even ask for help.
17:04I was terrified
17:05that if the truth got out,
17:07I would be fired.
17:08I'm not proud of myself,
17:10but sometimes
17:11that fear
17:12and anxiety
17:13would make me
17:13lash out at people.
17:15At other therapists?
17:16When I get angry,
17:18I know I can be vicious.
17:19Cutting.
17:21I'm still working on it.
17:23I now know
17:24that my anger
17:25is a defense mechanism,
17:28but I don't blame
17:29any of them.
17:31Dr. Sophie
17:32was the only one
17:33that stuck with me.
17:34Without her,
17:37well, I owe her my life.
17:40Did any of the other therapists
17:41use hypnosis
17:42in their treatments?
17:43No, just Dr. Sophie.
17:45And to your recollection,
17:46nobody else
17:46is trying to hypnotize you?
17:48No.
17:49But then he wouldn't remember,
17:50would he?
17:51No, not if it was a part
17:52of the hypnotic suggestion.
17:54The lover killed Dr. Sophie,
17:56also framed Wendell Collins.
17:57All right,
17:57so if we find the hypnotist,
17:58we find the killer.
17:59Not just anybody
18:00can hypnotize somebody like that.
18:01It takes a trained professional.
18:03There's lots
18:03in the mother Fernwood.
18:04We just got to figure out
18:05which one hated Dr. Sophie
18:06enough to kill her.
18:08Okay, you two.
18:09Saddle up.
18:10For what?
18:11You're going for therapy.
18:23Okay, let's run down
18:24our stories.
18:25Okay.
18:25Uh, I'm a cop.
18:27My dad was a cop.
18:28These therapists
18:28can sniff out a lie
18:29a mile away.
18:30Okay, you got to say
18:30close to the truth.
18:31But just a change of details.
18:33You're not a cop.
18:33You're a cardiothoracic surgeon
18:35just like your father was.
18:36My father is an entrepreneur,
18:38not a con man.
18:39Okay, how did we meet?
18:40We met five years ago.
18:42You saw me in a flash mob.
18:43For you, it was love at first sight.
18:45I wasn't impressed,
18:46but I felt sorry for you.
18:48What?
18:51Welcome to the Fernwood.
18:52You must be Maxine and Colton.
18:54You are going to love
18:55the all-day couples intensive.
18:56It really shocks
18:57the emotional system
18:58and opens new pathways
18:59of communication.
19:00And we're going to meet
19:01all the therapists, right?
19:02Absolutely.
19:04Will the healing begin?
19:06He never listens.
19:07Please, all I ever do
19:08is listen
19:08because all you ever do
19:09is talk.
19:10Sweetie,
19:10you're a verifiable grump.
19:12I could feed you ice cream
19:13and cake
19:13and you would still be unhappy.
19:15Because I don't really care
19:15for sweets, sweetie.
19:17and I'm not unhappy.
19:19Sorry.
19:20This place feels so different.
19:22I've gotten so used
19:22to Dr. Sophie, you know?
19:24Is it true one of her patients
19:25was responsible for her murder?
19:27It must be affecting business.
19:29Why do you think
19:29you changed the subject?
19:31Does talking about yourself
19:32make you uncomfortable?
19:34No.
19:35He needs focus
19:36and grounding.
19:38You know,
19:38I hear hypnotherapy
19:40could help with that.
19:41I don't use hypnosis.
19:42Well, what about lighthouses?
19:44The lighthouse
19:44is just a metaphor.
19:45You seem to know
19:46what your husband needs,
19:47but what do you need?
19:49Well,
19:50there's a pair
19:51of new bitone pumps
19:52that I've literally
19:54been dreaming about.
19:55See, this is what
19:55I'm talking about.
19:56She doesn't think
19:56there's anything wrong with her.
19:57Yeah,
19:58I'm starting to get
19:59a good snapshot
19:59of your dynamic.
20:01I think it's time
20:02we shift into
20:03your individual sessions.
20:05So,
20:06the approach here
20:07is simple.
20:08By painting,
20:09you occupy
20:10the parts of your brain
20:11that are associated
20:11with movements,
20:12leaving your frontal lobe
20:13free to explore
20:14your thoughts and feelings.
20:16Go ahead.
20:17So you just want me
20:18to paint and talk?
20:19Exactly.
20:21All right,
20:22what do you want
20:22to talk about?
20:23Well,
20:24starting with your childhood
20:25never hurts.
20:26I knew you were
20:27going to say that.
20:29Not much to talk about.
20:32If you could
20:32paint your childhood,
20:34what would that look like?
20:36Well,
20:36my dad was a
20:38surgeon,
20:39and my mom
20:40was a teacher.
20:41You're also a surgeon?
20:43Yeah,
20:43that's right.
20:44Is that what you
20:45always wanted to be?
20:46I was always assuming
20:47that's what I was
20:48going to be.
20:49By you or your father?
20:51Both.
20:52It's stressful
20:53being a surgeon.
20:54You see life
20:55and death situations
20:56every day.
20:57I never really
20:58saw it that way.
20:59I just see a problem
21:00and I follow the steps
21:01to fix that problem.
21:04Is that your father
21:04that taught you that?
21:06Yeah.
21:08He was very
21:09black and white,
21:10right and wrong.
21:12Choices were really
21:13simple for him.
21:14He would have never
21:15been in a place
21:16like this.
21:16Oh,
21:17why not?
21:18I wasn't one to talk
21:19about his feelings,
21:20let's just say that.
21:22Well,
21:23is that why
21:23you became a surgeon?
21:25To connect with him?
21:28And before you even ask,
21:29I had an amazing childhood.
21:31No siblings,
21:33just me and my parents.
21:35Hmm.
21:36Tell me one thing
21:38that wasn't amazing.
21:39Why?
21:40So you can dial
21:41into my psyche
21:41and tell me something
21:42terrible happened
21:43even though it didn't?
21:44Ooh,
21:44you caught me.
21:45I'm kidding.
21:47Let's stop here.
21:49Put your hand
21:50on the trunk
21:50of this tree.
21:53Okay.
21:57Now,
21:58close your eyes
21:59and just breathe.
22:01Feel it grounding you.
22:03Now,
22:04tell me about
22:05this amazing childhood.
22:07My dad
22:08was an entrepreneur.
22:10He was very poor
22:12but very happy.
22:13One day,
22:14he met my mother.
22:16a hottie
22:17of serious means.
22:19They fell in love
22:20and her family
22:22said they would
22:22disown her
22:23if they ever
22:23got married.
22:24She did it anyway.
22:27A true fairy tale.
22:29Hmm.
22:34What did your mother do?
22:36She learned his trade.
22:38She never worked for her.
22:40She didn't have to
22:41but turned out
22:43she was a natural
22:43so she joined him
22:45in his business
22:45and then
22:47I joined too
22:48when I was old enough.
22:49It was
22:50us three
22:51against the world.
22:52Family business.
22:54That can be stressful
22:55sometimes.
22:55We loved it.
22:57Loved?
22:58She passed away.
23:00Oh.
23:00I'm sorry to hear that.
23:02And your father?
23:05He's taking some time off
23:06to write a book.
23:08Hopefully a
23:09bestseller
23:10like Dr. S.
23:11But your husband's around.
23:14He's busy all the time.
23:16Surgery.
23:17You know.
23:17Which leaves you
23:18on your own.
23:19Yeah.
23:20For the first time
23:21since I was a kid.
23:22Is it hard for you
23:23being alone?
23:26Sir.
23:27It's okay.
23:30Get in the car.
23:31What about the family photos?
23:33Nerve them.
23:34We can't.
23:36Daddy, I call shotgun.
23:39Can you hypnotize
23:40someone into playing?
23:41Because
23:42my husband
23:43will never do this.
23:50Um.
23:51No.
23:58Let's take a seat.
24:01I was ten years
24:02older than my brother.
24:03So.
24:04I always kind of felt
24:05like I had
24:05two different childhoods.
24:06Hmm.
24:07One as an old child
24:08and one with a brother.
24:10It's a tough adjustment
24:11for a kid.
24:12Getting all the attention
24:13for so long
24:14and then having to share it.
24:16Not really.
24:17I spent a lot of time
24:18by myself before that too.
24:19Why?
24:20My dad worked
24:21all the time
24:21so always kind of
24:22had to be my own
24:23best friend, yeah?
24:26So peaceful here.
24:28It's almost hypnotizing.
24:31Speaking of which,
24:32do you practice hypnotism?
24:34I hear it can be
24:34really effective.
24:35I don't.
24:36No, I think it's better
24:37to connect with things
24:38on your own timeline.
24:39Right.
24:40Tell me,
24:41what was it like
24:42when Daniel was born?
24:44Well,
24:44after Daniel was born,
24:45my dad had a heart attack,
24:46which kind of forced him
24:48into an early retirement.
24:49Well, that must have been
24:50difficult for someone
24:51who values work
24:52above everything else.
24:53Maybe for other people,
24:54but not for my dad.
24:56He took all that work
24:57ethic he had
24:58and poured all his energy
24:59into Daniel.
25:00He was really different
25:01with him than he was
25:02with me.
25:02He was always around.
25:03He was never stressed out.
25:07He didn't push Daniel
25:08like he did with me.
25:10But, you know,
25:12Daniel was a different kid.
25:13He was gentle
25:14and sensitive.
25:17He was the kind of kid
25:18who brought home birds
25:19with broken wings.
25:22You know,
25:22it sounds like
25:23you and Daniel
25:24experienced
25:25very different fathers.
25:27Yeah.
25:28Were you ever
25:29angry with him
25:30for that?
25:31No.
25:32I could never
25:33be angry at Daniel.
25:34I wasn't talking
25:35about Daniel.
25:43With your tight-knit family
25:45no longer together,
25:46you're left
25:47with only your husband.
25:49Now,
25:49if you take a moment
25:50and visualize,
25:51does that make you
25:52feel secure
25:53or uneasy?
25:56Uneasy.
25:57So you don't
25:58trust your husband?
25:59Or, more specifically,
26:01do you trust
26:02that he'll do
26:03the right thing?
26:04Always.
26:06And for the record,
26:07it's very annoying.
26:09There's no surprises
26:10with that one.
26:11Okay.
26:12So,
26:13what I'm hearing
26:14is that
26:15you've learned
26:16to mistrust
26:17everyone outside
26:18your circle
26:19and,
26:20well,
26:20now that your circle
26:21no longer exists,
26:22your...
26:24your mistrust
26:25is redirected.
26:26To who?
26:27Myself?
26:28You don't think
26:29I trust myself?
26:31I'm suggesting
26:33that
26:33maybe you don't
26:35trust yourself
26:36enough to trust
26:37someone else.
26:38Like Colton?
26:40Because I do
26:41trust him.
26:43I really do.
26:45Well,
26:46that can be scary.
26:47If you trust Colton
26:48as you did
26:49your family,
26:50that...
26:50that could change
26:51the way you see
26:52people,
26:53the world,
26:54everything.
26:59Do you believe
27:00your wife loves you?
27:02Sure.
27:03Do you believe
27:04that she would think
27:05any less of you
27:05if you weren't
27:06a good surgeon?
27:07No.
27:07But it matters to you?
27:09Yeah.
27:10Would you say
27:11that being a surgeon
27:13is what matters
27:14most in your life?
27:15Yeah,
27:15it's...
27:16it's what I am.
27:18It's what you do.
27:20I like to get to it.
27:21And I'll practice
27:22therapy that dances
27:23around the issues.
27:25Your father
27:25only connected
27:26with you
27:26when it was
27:27about work.
27:28But he loved
27:29your brother Daniel
27:29simply for who
27:30he was.
27:31Is that fair to say?
27:33Yeah,
27:34that's fair.
27:35From a very young age
27:36you were taught
27:36that your self-worth
27:37is only measured
27:38by your work.
27:40And without it
27:40you're not worthy
27:41to be loved.
27:44Did you ever trust
27:45anyone and had
27:46that trust broken?
27:47Once.
27:48Do you want
27:49to talk about it?
27:49No.
27:50But, I mean,
27:51hasn't everyone?
27:52Dr. S let someone in
27:54and she got burned too.
27:56That's what
27:56Daphne told me anyways.
27:58I wouldn't take
27:59what Daphne says
28:00to heart.
28:01She was no longer
28:02really a part
28:03of Dr. Sophie's circle.
28:04Why not?
28:05People change.
28:07Now,
28:08back to you.
28:09You came to the
28:10Fernwood
28:11to save your marriage.
28:12That's a great step.
28:15I'm now going to ask you
28:16the central question
28:17of every relationship
28:19and your answer
28:20to it is all
28:21you need to know.
28:26Are you better
28:26together
28:27or apart?
28:37Hey.
28:39How'd it go?
28:40Uh,
28:41good.
28:42You?
28:43Good.
28:44Yeah,
28:45it's
28:45exhausting.
28:47I hear that.
28:48I'm officially
28:49talked out.
28:50Really?
28:51You?
28:51Talked out?
28:52I know, right?
28:53Damn it.
29:04Come on!
29:11All those therapists,
29:12not a single one
29:13of them use hypnosis.
29:14So they say,
29:15but any one of them
29:16could have learned
29:17how to do it.
29:18True,
29:18although they all
29:19seem to genuinely
29:19like Dr. Sophie.
29:21Well,
29:21we thought about Daphne,
29:22but what was he
29:23searching for?
29:25You know,
29:26Joan told me
29:27that Daphne and Dr. S
29:28were in the outs.
29:30I don't know why.
29:31I think we already
29:32have something
29:32that might give us
29:33the answer to that.
29:34Come on.
29:44Hey,
29:45Forensics just came back
29:46with Dr. Sophie's laptop.
29:47Look at this.
29:49How is our happy couple?
29:51Have you set boundaries?
29:53Start an active listening.
29:54Oh,
29:54would you look at that.
29:55Daphne
29:56was Dear John.
29:58What the hell
29:58is a Dear John?
29:59It's a breakup letter.
30:00Dr. Sophie emailed Daphne
30:01three days before
30:02she was killed
30:02and dumped her.
30:03But Daphne was
30:04on a plane
30:05when the doc
30:05was murdered,
30:06so...
30:06She could have
30:07hired someone
30:07to do it.
30:08Well,
30:08she was.
30:08About to lose
30:09her only client,
30:10a best-selling book,
30:11and a budding empire.
30:13That's one hell of a motive
30:14for a murder right there.
30:17Let's bring in Daphne.
30:23I'm allowed to be
30:23in her office.
30:24I'm her manager.
30:25Ex-manager.
30:26We saw the breakup email.
30:28Why didn't you tell us
30:29that Dr. Sophie
30:30had dissolved
30:30her business relationship
30:31with you?
30:34Five years.
30:38Five years.
30:40She couldn't even call me.
30:42I'm the one
30:42who molded her
30:43into a star.
30:44I helped her
30:44start the Fernwood.
30:45I organized her book tours.
30:46So then why'd she drop you?
30:48Oh,
30:48she wanted
30:49Brittany Brown
30:50levels of fame.
30:51She figured
30:51little old me
30:52wasn't big enough
30:52to get her there.
30:53Is that why
30:54you killed her?
30:55What?
30:57Wendell confessed
30:58I saw him.
30:59You saw him.
31:00Please,
31:01we both know
31:01that that was
31:02a false confession.
31:03I was on a flight
31:03when she died.
31:04You could have hired
31:05somebody to do it.
31:06Sophie betrayed me,
31:07but I didn't kill her.
31:10She was brilliant
31:12at what she did.
31:18I thought that
31:19if I could find
31:20the manuscript,
31:20I could publish it
31:21before anyone knew
31:22she was dumping
31:23me.
31:23And you'd still
31:24get your cut
31:25of her big book.
31:26Her dream
31:26interpretation book
31:27is going to be
31:28her biggest bestseller yet.
31:31If anyone
31:32can ever find it.
31:33She hid it?
31:35Probably.
31:37For all of her books,
31:38I would never see
31:38an outline.
31:39Chapters,
31:39a first draft,
31:40would just appear
31:41in my email one day,
31:43a finished manuscript
31:44ready for publishing.
31:45She even spell-checked it.
31:49Maybe she didn't trust me.
31:51Maybe I'll sign Joan
31:52as my next client.
31:54Is she a really
31:55bad writer?
31:55I've read a few
31:56of her papers.
31:57She really knows
31:57her stuff,
31:58but she's just so...
32:03Boring.
32:05That's what made
32:05Sophie great.
32:06She had that
32:07it factor.
32:09People loved her.
32:16We checked
32:17all of Daphne's
32:18financials,
32:19emails,
32:20phone records.
32:21It's not a thing
32:22that suggests
32:22she hired a hitman.
32:24I checked the trash.
32:25The trash is trash.
32:26If this woman wrote a book,
32:27there ain't no sign of it.
32:28Are you sure?
32:29I mean,
32:30you can't ever
32:31really delete anything.
32:33For example,
32:33and I thought I scrubbed it,
32:34but if you search
32:35Slurp Goblins
32:36on my...
32:37Hey, hey,
32:37we don't want to know.
32:38Hello, I do.
32:40Drinks at O'Leary's.
32:42You pay.
32:42I'll play.
32:44Okay.
32:44Why wouldn't Dr. Sophie
32:46have a copy of her book
32:46on her laptop?
32:48She told Daphne
32:49it was finished, right?
32:50Yeah, and it's not like
32:51writers lie about
32:52how much they write ever.
32:53Hold up.
32:54I remember seeing a book
32:54about dreams
32:55on Dr. Joan's desk.
32:56Coincidence?
32:57I think not.
32:58Especially because
32:59that's the subject
33:00of Dr. S's new book.
33:01I mean, all therapists
33:02talk about dreams.
33:03It's very common.
33:04But Dr. Joan
33:05and Dr. S
33:06went to college together.
33:07Joan was the
33:09hardworking study buddy
33:10and Dr. S was the
33:11party girl.
33:12Maybe Joan was doing
33:13research on dreams
33:14for Dr. S,
33:16got jealous
33:16and stole her manuscript?
33:17We can't make up
33:18a motive just because
33:19you think you saw
33:20a book on dreams
33:20on Joan's desk.
33:21Well, I think
33:22it's worth looking into.
33:23I follow your leads.
33:24Why can't you
33:25follow mine?
33:25I follow your leads
33:27all the time.
33:27Yeah, but I have to
33:28drag you kicking
33:29and screaming
33:29to even follow
33:30my brilliant ideas.
33:31Okay, I think
33:31brilliant is a bit
33:32of a stretch.
33:33Stop!
33:34Did you two learn
33:36nothing in therapy?
33:37Partnership is like
33:38a canoe.
33:39If you both paddle
33:40in the same direction,
33:41you go places.
33:42Wonderful, magical,
33:44erotic,
33:46hallucinatory places.
33:47But if each of you
33:48paddle in the opposite
33:49direction,
33:50what happens?
33:52What happens?
33:54We don't do it.
33:54Probably go in a circle.
33:56That's right.
33:56So line up,
33:58look forward,
33:58and get moving.
34:02Okay, I'm sorry.
34:04We'll follow your lead.
34:08Anybody else here
34:09need fixing?
34:10Yeah, I had this thing.
34:11I can't help you.
34:12Nobody can.
34:17Thanks, Ricky.
34:18What did he say?
34:20Okay, Ricky was able
34:21to get into Sophie's account.
34:22There's that $500,000
34:23withdrawal made
34:24the day before she died.
34:25Yeah, we already know that.
34:26Yeah, but you notice
34:27another pattern.
34:28Sophie transferred
34:28$30,000 into an
34:30unknown account
34:30when her first book
34:31came out.
34:32Then another $50,000
34:32for her second.
34:33And then $75,000
34:35for her latest bestseller.
34:36Sounds like payment
34:37to me.
34:38Dr. Sophie had
34:39a ghostwriter.
34:40What if that's why
34:41Joan had the book
34:42of dreams on her desk?
34:43What if she's
34:44the ghostwriter?
34:45Do you remember
34:46when Daphne
34:46said that Sophie
34:48got a million dollar
34:48advance for her next book?
34:50$75,000 is nothing
34:51compared to a million bucks.
34:52Maybe Joan decided
34:53she wanted half.
34:54Dr. Sophie's getting
34:55all the accolades
34:56and the money.
34:58Joan's working
34:59behind the scenes,
35:00doing all the research,
35:01working her little
35:01fingers to the bone.
35:02Okay, so Joan
35:03blackmails Dr. Sophie.
35:04She goes to her house.
35:05They get into an argument.
35:07They fight.
35:07Joan panics.
35:08She hits her.
35:09She dies instantly
35:10and falls into the pool.
35:13How does Wendell
35:15fit into all this?
35:16Well, if Joan's
35:17a ghostwriter,
35:18she would have access
35:19to all of Dr. Sophie's
35:20interviews.
35:21So she would have known
35:21that Wendell
35:22was particularly
35:23susceptible to hypnosis.
35:24Making him
35:25the perfect law guy.
35:26So all she had to do
35:27was hypnotize him.
35:27After that,
35:28she's just one trigger
35:29phrase away
35:30from getting him
35:30to confess to murder.
35:35That's a pretty damn
35:36good theory.
35:38You want to go
35:38test it out?
35:46Hello?
35:47Hey, Wendell.
35:49Looking good.
35:50What can I do
35:51for you two?
35:52We just wanted
35:54to hear you
35:55speak your truth.
36:02Just speak your truth.
36:07I killed Dr. Sophie Fernwood.
36:09I went to her house.
36:10We argued.
36:10I hit her.
36:11She fell into the pool.
36:12I killed her.
36:12There it is.
36:13That's the trigger.
36:14I killed Dr. Sophie Fernwood.
36:15I went to our house.
36:16We argued.
36:17I hit her.
36:17She fell into the pool.
36:18I killed her.
36:19We broke him, didn't we?
36:20I killed Dr. Sophie Fernwood.
36:22I went to her house.
36:24We argued.
36:24I hit her.
36:25She fell into the pool.
36:26I killed her.
36:32Oh.
36:34You scared me.
36:35What are you doing here?
36:36Oh, last minute crisis.
36:38We forgot our love languages.
36:41The center's closed.
36:42Oh, we'll be quick.
36:43We just came to hear
36:44you speak your truth.
36:46Honey,
36:47it doesn't have the same
36:48effect on her
36:49as it did on Wendell.
36:50Oh.
36:51What happened, Joan?
36:52Dr. Sophie gave you
36:53the $500,000 you asked for, right?
36:56Why don't you just take it
36:56and walk away?
36:57Who are you?
37:03Hey, Joan.
37:04Joan, stop.
37:05Hey.
37:06Joan, stop.
37:09Wait.
37:29Don't come any closer.
37:30Joan, uh, why don't we go inside
37:33where we can talk, huh?
37:34What's the point?
37:36my life?
37:38What?
37:38My life, my career?
37:38It's all over anyway.
37:45Look,
37:46I know you didn't mean
37:47to kill Dr. Sophie.
37:50I really didn't.
37:52I just wanted my share
37:54of the advance.
37:55I was owed at least that.
37:57But she didn't give you
37:58any credit,
38:00did she?
38:03No.
38:04She laughed at me
38:06and said I was the same
38:07sucker I was in college
38:09when I used to do
38:10her research.
38:11I wrote her papers
38:13even back then.
38:14That made you mad, right?
38:18It did.
38:20What happened, Joan?
38:24I tried to leave
38:26with a bag of money
38:27but she grabbed it.
38:28It started pushing me
38:30again and again.
38:33So you hit her with something.
38:35One of her own books.
38:37It was on the patio table.
38:38I didn't think
38:40it would kill her.
38:41I mean,
38:42I only hit her once.
38:43Exactly.
38:44It was just a mistake, right?
38:46She just fell in the pool.
38:47I freaked out
38:48and ran.
38:51It all happened so fast
38:52I didn't mean to do.
38:55Joan, wait.
38:56Wait.
38:56Wait.
38:57What if Daphne
38:58publishes your book?
38:59You already wrote
39:00three bestsellers.
39:02One is going to read
39:03a book in earnest
39:04written by a therapist
39:06in prison.
39:07Are you kidding me?
39:08That's like
39:09the best hook
39:10ever.
39:16There are computers
39:17in jail, right?
39:20Yeah.
39:26Look.
39:27Okay.
39:29Come on, Joan.
39:30Here you go.
39:32Here you go.
39:43You still here?
39:45Yeah.
39:47Yeah, just finished
39:47taking down her statement.
39:48I heard it was
39:49a pretty intense night.
39:50Yeah, there was a second
39:51there where I really thought
39:51she was going to jump.
39:53It's close.
39:56Yeah, I've been meaning
39:57to ask you
39:58how was doing
39:59all that therapy?
40:00You getting anything
40:01out of it?
40:02Yeah.
40:04I think.
40:06I don't know.
40:07I haven't really
40:07processed it yet.
40:09You probably could have
40:10used some therapy
40:10back when we were partners,
40:11huh?
40:12Probably.
40:14You know, I've been going
40:15for about a year now.
40:18Really?
40:19Yeah.
40:20Ever since your brother
40:21died.
40:22I wanted to help you.
40:24I didn't know how.
40:25And you didn't want
40:26to talk about it.
40:26So it made me realize
40:30I didn't know what I was
40:31doing as far as managing
40:33my feelings and emotions
40:34and all that stuff.
40:37Well, how's it been going?
40:39Good.
40:40Slow.
40:41Damn slow.
40:44But good.
40:48Where's Yates?
40:49Oh, I don't know.
40:51She gave me the safe word
40:52tonight.
40:53The safe word?
40:54Oh, yeah.
40:55If either one of us
40:56are getting on each
40:56other's nerves
40:57and we need some space,
40:59we can give a safe word.
41:01No questions asked.
41:03I know I'm going to
41:03regret this,
41:04but what's the safe word?
41:05Ice cream.
41:06Ice cream?
41:07Okay, I was expecting
41:07worse.
41:08What does it mean?
41:08She says our partnership
41:10is like ice cream.
41:12It's awesome.
41:13It's reliable.
41:14Too much of it
41:15can give you gas.
41:18That's actually,
41:20that's actually kind of sweet.
41:21Yeah, I mean,
41:21don't get me wrong.
41:22I had to veto
41:22the first five safe words.
41:25They were disgusting.
41:29You heading out?
41:30No, I got to think
41:31she's reports, so.
41:32All right, well,
41:33I just want to say,
41:34if you ever need
41:34to work things out,
41:36therapy's good.
41:39Thanks.
41:40Yeah.
41:41Appreciate that.
41:44You talking to your cat
41:45doesn't count.
41:46Okay, I don't talk
41:47to my cat.
41:48That's not what Max says.
42:06Hey, what are you doing here?
42:07I just had some drinks
42:08for the gates.
42:09Oh, boy,
42:10does she have some stories.
42:12Also,
42:13I have something for you.
42:14What?
42:16Your painting
42:17from Lafernewood.
42:19What do you think?
42:23Honestly,
42:24it's pretty terrible.
42:25Yeah.
42:26It really is.
42:28What am I supposed
42:29to do with this?
42:29Burn it.
42:30Because if anybody
42:30finds out that came
42:31from your brain,
42:32you'll be locked up for life.
42:33And then I'll have no one.
42:38Don't worry.
42:39I wouldn't let that happen.
42:41You make too good of a team.
42:49I should really get back
42:50to this report.
42:53Yeah.
42:54It's a nice night.
42:56I'll probably go for a walk.
42:58Don't work too late.
43:00You got it.
43:07Don't work too late.
43:30I'll never go for a walk.
