00:00Previously on Wild Cards.
00:02I managed to get Jonathan Ashford's video diary.
00:05Tell you everything you need to know.
00:06All the press is usually we're partners.
00:08Who are you?
00:09He's my best friend.
00:11Six more months off my dad's sentence.
00:12Two weeks.
00:13Deal.
00:13It's not a private island or even a mansion, but it is our humble home.
00:25Most people don't understand what it is we do.
00:28We don't just pull off robberies, heists, or scams.
00:32No, no.
00:33In fact, we solve puzzles.
00:36You see, at first a job is nothing more than a flash of inspiration.
00:39An idea in your mind.
00:41It's like a thousand scattered pieces on the floor that you stare at
00:46until eventually a picture starts to emerge.
00:48But no matter how insoluble the puzzle seems, there is always a solution.
00:53Your eyes have seen it.
00:54Your brain recorded it.
00:55And that little voice inside of you, that thing we call instinct,
00:59is trying to guide you with confidence.
01:09Everything you need to know is always right in front of you.
01:13You just have to look more closely.
01:15Okay, Ashford.
01:18Hmm.
01:19What is boss babe up to?
01:27Where's my girl?
01:30There you are.
01:31Right on schedule.
01:34Ugh.
01:35How do you do it?
01:36Work all those hours and still manage to meditate every night?
01:39You're probably meditating on ways to leave your husband's scarf man.
01:44Can he not?
01:46With the duck lips?
01:47What do we say about snooping?
01:49Okay, what do you expect me to do?
01:50I'm so bored being stuck in this chair all day.
01:54Yeah, I told you not to jump in the children's ball pit.
01:57I had a nickel for every time someone said that to me.
02:00Look, you've got a couple more days
02:03till that cast is off
02:04and you're rocking a cute pair of heels.
02:07Besides, you promised you'd keep up with your homework.
02:10I've been watching the greatest con man in history all day.
02:13I just needed a little break.
02:15Just a little break.
02:16Okay.
02:17I'll be home later.
02:18Oh, and stop sending me so many cat gifts.
02:21They're so cute though.
02:24They're not that cute though.
02:25Oh.
02:29Ooh, there's one in a sombrero.
02:32Tell us he's going to love that.
02:39Max again?
02:40Let me tell you something.
02:41Max, bored, alone, and on pain meds is not a good thing.
02:44She won't stop sending me pictures.
02:45What kind of pictures?
02:46Cats.
02:47Yeah, cats eating burritos, cats in tacos, cats eating corn chips.
02:51It's a lot of cats and Mexican food.
02:53I don't know why.
02:54Admit it.
02:55You miss her.
02:56Come on, no one to bounce ideas off.
02:59No one to share inside jokes.
03:01Trade shoes with.
03:02Trade shoes?
03:08I just got those.
03:10I'm wearing socks this time.
03:11Relax.
03:12Listen up, everyone.
03:13We got a body in an apartment at Chestnut and Shaw.
03:16Start the engine, Simmons?
03:18Not so fast.
03:19I got a call this morning from the city.
03:20Your driver's license has been suspended.
03:23What?
03:23They can do that?
03:24Do you realize how many unpaid parking tickets you have?
03:26Yeah, tons.
03:27I'm a cop.
03:28I can park anywhere.
03:29Not in your civilian vehicle.
03:30I was undercover.
03:32At the grocery store, mud wrestling, and medieval times?
03:35I'm always undercover.
03:36Not anymore.
03:37You're going to pay those unpaid parking tickets, pass a written exam, and take your road test
03:41again.
03:41Until then, you're benched.
03:43Ellis Simmons, you're up.
03:44Yes, sir.
03:44Like old times.
03:46Only now I'm driving.
03:47Just hook my ride up with a new sound system.
03:50Nice.
03:50Cool.
03:50Whatever.
03:51Shoot us back in the box.
03:52Ellis, do not adjust my seat.
03:54It took me months to find the perfect setting.
03:56These gams gotta breathe.
03:58Those gams gotta study.
04:05What?
04:06It's illegal to leave unattended sheep in a truck?
04:10Since when?
04:17What do we got?
04:19Deceased is Alan Murray.
04:2145, single, lives alone.
04:23Who's the bacon squad?
04:24Neighbors.
04:25They have a standing Sunday night date to watch some kind of a reality bacon show with Mr.
04:29Murray.
04:30If they wouldn't answer his door, they called the super to unlock it.
04:33All right, sit inside.
04:34I'm awfully sorry about the pie.
04:36What pie?
04:42Oh, that pie.
05:00Detective, this is the victim's wallet, health card, membership to a bulk grocery store,
05:05and an auto insurance slip.
05:06There's no credit cards, no driver's license.
05:09Yeah, I know.
05:09Strange, right?
05:11He's got a lot of cash in there, so he wasn't robbed.
05:18This recycling is neater than my whole apartment.
05:23This guy's place was immaculate.
05:26Hola, chicos.
05:27No Yates, no Max?
05:28Yeah, it's just us today.
05:30Oh, too bad.
05:31So what's up with our guy here?
05:33Preliminary suggests an impact wound on the victim's right temple,
05:36which seems consistent with the blood smear on the frame of the coffee table,
05:40but the head wound was not the cause of death.
05:43Can you help me roll him?
05:44Yeah.
05:44Come on, Simpson.
05:45All right.
05:46Okay.
05:46One, two, three.
05:49It's not a lot of blood, given the size of the wound.
05:52If the shark hit a major organ, he would have bled out from within.
05:55Time of death?
05:55I put it between 8 p.m. and 10 p.m. on Saturday night.
05:59I'll know more when I get him back to the shop.
06:00Okay.
06:02All right.
06:04Story time?
06:07All right.
06:08So approximately 24 hours ago,
06:10Alan Murray was in his very tidy apartment
06:14when he tripped over the corner of his rug,
06:17falling onto the coffee table,
06:19where he hit his head.
06:20Glass from the coffee table shatters,
06:22already falls on a shard of glass, puncturing his back,
06:25and an organ.
06:26He bleeds out internally.
06:28Seems like an accident to me.
06:29Let's get the neighbors' statements and call it a day.
06:32Easy as pie.
06:47So the four of you and Mr. Murray would meet every Sunday at 6 p.m.,
06:51is that correct?
06:52We all bring something we baked
06:53and then basically stop ourselves and watch Baker's Delight.
06:57Why was it strange to you that he didn't come to the door?
07:00I mean, couldn't he have just been running late?
07:02Alan could not abide tardiness.
07:06He scheduled his life down in a minute.
07:08He was crazy organized.
07:10Yeah, when he didn't answer the door,
07:11we called the super to let us in.
07:13Did any of you touch the body?
07:14I checked his pulse.
07:16I'm a nurse.
07:17Now, did any of you guys see anyone strange in the building yesterday?
07:21No.
07:22Now I know who killed him.
07:25It was that darn carpet.
07:28All of us have tripped on it on some time or another.
07:33Okay.
07:34I think we're good here.
07:35Thank you for your time.
07:36You're free to go.
07:40Wow, that was fast.
07:42Although with Yates,
07:44there's usually a lot of ongoing commentary.
07:46Trust me, Max was here.
07:48This would have taken an hour longer.
07:49We would have had everyone's Zodiac sign,
07:51favorite Backstreet Boy,
07:52current donut preference.
08:00Oh, what is it?
08:01It's strange that a guy that was that meticulous
08:03wouldn't have just
08:05found the time to fix his carpet, you know?
08:08Yeah.
08:12Mrs. Ellis?
08:13What you doing?
08:14Working, Max.
08:15How's the case going?
08:16It's going good.
08:17Do you need something?
08:18Yes, a new ankle.
08:19This one's still swollen.
08:21I really need to go.
08:22Okay, tell me the truth.
08:23And if he's around, answer in hiccups.
08:25One means yes.
08:25Two means no.
08:26Is Simmons driving you crazy yet?
08:28Of course not.
08:29It's great.
08:30Cool.
08:31That's great.
08:32I mean, it's fine.
08:34It's going fine, okay?
08:35We're doing our jobs,
08:36but I really need to go, Max.
08:38Yeah.
08:39Okay, go.
08:40Bye.
08:44Okay, but if he tripped on the corner of the rug,
08:46he would have fallen forward, not backward.
08:48No, he could have twisted.
08:50Maybe, but...
08:52There's still something that's bothering me.
08:53His belt.
08:55It's looped around from the left.
08:57But all those photos,
08:59his belt's looped around from the right.
09:02Yeah, I guess he never changed the way you put your belt on.
09:04Exactly, and his shoelaces.
09:06They're tied in just a regular knot,
09:07just the way you and I would tie our shoes.
09:08But in the photos,
09:10his shoelaces are always tied with a berluti knot.
09:13Berluti knot?
09:16Look, Max went on about shoelaces one time for like an hour.
09:19Don't ask.
09:20So, are you saying somebody else tied his shoes?
09:23More than that.
09:25We think someone may have redressed the victim after death.
09:28That would explain this.
09:30Look.
09:31Once I removed the shard of glass on his back,
09:33I discovered these.
09:35Yellow fibers.
09:37Right, but he was wearing a green shirt when he died.
09:40No, he was wearing a green shirt when his body was found.
09:43But according to these fibers,
09:45he was most likely wearing a yellow shirt when he died.
09:48Okay, so somebody changed his clothes after he died.
09:51Why would they do that?
09:52To hide evidence?
09:55So this wasn't an accident.
09:56This was murder.
09:57The evidence says it could be a bit of both.
10:00The wound indicates an initial entailment,
10:03but the angle of the wound shifts.
10:05Meaning what?
10:07I think Alan fell on the shard of glass, but didn't die.
10:10Then someone went out of their way to push it in further,
10:14which is what killed him.
10:16Hmm.
10:24All right.
10:26Murray was a freelance accountant that did most of his work from home.
10:29All his clients say he was a great guy,
10:31just like his neighbors who all have solid alibis.
10:36Just scrubbed through, I don't know how many hours of footage from the apartment.
10:39It's like the quietest building I've ever seen.
10:41Nothing out of the ordinary during the time frame of Murray's murder.
10:44Yeah, I looked into his credit cards.
10:45Nothing since Friday.
10:46So we got a murdered guy that everybody loved.
10:48We know the motive wasn't robbery,
10:49and somebody went through all the trouble to redress the victim after they killed him.
10:54So what are you thinking?
10:55I'm thinking we're back to square one, Simmons.
10:58Friends, it's cracked Murray's cell phone.
11:00They said there's over 100 pages and texts alone.
11:03There's progress right there.
11:05I'm going to go make some fresh coffee.
11:07Okay.
11:14He makes me coffee every single day.
11:17He even froths my milk.
11:19It's like a party in my mouth.
11:32Ooh, the Scarfman is throwing a rager.
11:36And who is that hottie?
11:38Well, she's flirting up the storm.
11:41As you can see, I'm super handsome and super important and have a great set of hair.
11:47Um, Scarfman, I wish you were as available as I clearly am.
11:54Boss babe is not going to like coming home with us.
11:57Walk away from the flirty girl.
11:59Scarfman, walk away.
12:00Oh, babe.
12:02I didn't expect you home from the office so early.
12:04Do you know how hard it is to be a working girl in the non-prositive way, of course?
12:10I want these good-for-nothings out of here right now.
12:14I can't believe you.
12:16Don't you know I'm an emotionally stunted man, baby, who needs attention?
12:21Oh, she's over it.
12:29Yeah, go home.
12:31You're all too young to be out this late anyway.
12:35Oh, you did not just put your hand on hottie's lower back.
12:37That's so brazen.
12:39It's like the international sign for we're banging.
12:41Oh, and now they're leaving together.
12:47Now feel your sister.
12:49Cheers.
13:03Girl, it is ten in the morning.
13:07Were you up all night spying?
13:09No.
13:10Okay, yes, but in my defense, there was a party going on across the street.
13:14Speaking of, the gift bags last night were epic.
13:17I brought Prezzy's.
13:19Prezzy's?
13:20To keep you entertained.
13:22Okay.
13:23Magic wand.
13:24Love it.
13:25Princess wand for a princess.
13:28Yeah, I don't know about that one.
13:30Don't even know what that is.
13:32Slime?
13:33The coup de grace.
13:35Ricky, you get me.
13:36Yeah, I've got stories.
13:38Way more interesting than whatever this is.
13:41Give me ten minutes to shower this glitter off.
13:44Okay.
13:46Let's see what's going on in Casa de Drama this morning.
13:52What are you doing home in the middle of the day, boss babe?
13:56You usually meditate at nine.
14:00Scarfman, are you just getting home?
14:02Walk of shame.
14:05Huh.
14:06What is that?
14:08Okay, this is new.
14:14Is that?
14:16Okay, that's a gun.
14:17He has a gun.
14:18Ricky!
14:23This is not happening.
14:25Come on, boss babe.
14:26Turn around.
14:29No!
14:31Ricky!
14:32Ricky, come back!
14:33Ricky!
14:39Come on, Scarfman.
14:40Where are you?
14:49Where is boss babe?
14:51And why does that suitcase look so heavy?
15:05Ellis, shut up and listen.
15:06I just saw a woman across the street get shot.
15:08Yes, shot.
15:10I just witnessed a murder.
15:14You really saw a murder?
15:17You sure you didn't just leave the TV on, Max?
15:19Listen to me.
15:20Scarfman, the husband, shot his wife, boss babe, while she was meditating.
15:25They were having trouble.
15:26And by trouble, I mean him, because he was the one hooking up with Hottie.
15:29Okay, so you saw with your own eyes this woman get shot?
15:32Well, no, because it was in between the windows, but I heard the gunshot.
15:36Okay, so you heard it.
15:37Well, I didn't exactly hear it, but it was a muzzle flash.
15:40So you didn't really see Scarfman fire the gun at his wife?
15:43No, because I'm across the street.
15:45But I saw him roll her out in a suitcase.
15:47Okay, did you see him put the body in the suitcase?
15:50No, but it was heavy, like human body heavy.
15:53Okay, well then, just a sec.
15:56This is Ellis.
15:58The super's arrived.
15:59Okay, yeah, I'm just pulling in.
16:00Hey, did we get any reports of gunshots in the Argyle and Fifth Area?
16:03No.
16:04Meet me in interrogation.
16:05Okay, see you soon.
16:06Max, there hasn't been any reportings of shootings in the area, okay?
16:09I gotta interview somebody right now.
16:10I gotta go.
16:11I'll look into this, I promise.
16:22What's that?
16:22That is Murray's cell phone.
16:24It's a very interesting text exchange between the two of you on there.
16:28Quite the little side hustle you had going there.
16:30Using your master key to break into people's apartments.
16:33Except Alan found out, didn't he?
16:34He was going to tell the owners.
16:36Maybe you confronted him, things escalated.
16:39You panicked, tried to cover it up.
16:41It's quite the rap shit you got.
16:43Two B&Es, just to start.
16:45You've been busy.
16:46So, where were you Saturday night between the hours of 8 and 10 p.m.?
16:50Repainting an apartment for a new tenant.
16:54Go ahead.
16:55Ask my wife.
16:58Come on, show up, boss babe.
17:02Prove me wrong.
17:05Come on.
17:08Hi.
17:09Hello?
17:11This place is abnormally nice.
17:14Do you know the self-lock on your front door is off?
17:15Yeah, Ricky disconnected it.
17:17Every time he takes out the trash, he locks himself out.
17:19Oh.
17:20Where's Ellis?
17:21Did he find Scarf Man?
17:23Is he across the street with Simmons?
17:25Nope.
17:26I checked.
17:27No reports of gunfire.
17:29No 911 calls in the area.
17:31Ellis sent me on a wellness check.
17:32But besides the hallucinations, you seem all right.
17:35Hallucinations?
17:36Yeah.
17:37They're on painkillers, right?
17:38I was once on painkillers that made everybody look like Margot Robbie.
17:44That was a really great day.
17:47Um, where are your pain meds?
17:49I'm stone cold sober.
17:52Why is no one trying to investigate that murder?
17:55We need probable cause.
17:58If you cry wolf, and there's no evidence of wolf, then was there ever really a wolf?
18:03Ooh, I'm hungry.
18:04Are you hungry?
18:05Where's your fridge?
18:06Ugh.
18:07Then Scarf Man rolled the suitcase out and left, which means the body of Boss Babe is still somewhere out
18:12there.
18:13Hmm.
18:15They're out there.
18:16My Simmons, and you're Ellis.
18:19Probably arguing about where to get lunch, and playing never, ever, ever use my badge to do this.
18:27Are you jealous?
18:32Are you not?
18:34Okay, I have an idea.
18:35How about I help you study for the driver's test, get you back on duty with Simmons, and in return,
18:41you help me prove that I'm not hallucinating.
18:44Yeah, okay. Where do you want to start?
18:46With a little trip to my closet.
18:47Sounds weird.
18:49Let's go.
18:55See that? Looks familiar?
18:59This is footage from the video doorbell across from the apartment you said that you were repainting.
19:05Huh?
19:06Except you left after just 20 minutes, and you didn't return for two hours.
19:10Two hours during which you killed Alan Murray.
19:13No, I didn't.
19:15Look, I'll tell you the truth.
19:16But you're gonna promise what I'm about to tell you.
19:18It doesn't get back to my wife.
19:21Ever.
19:25So, turns out our super was paying weekly maintenance visits to Mrs. Roberts on the third floor.
19:30Yeah, she, uh, was confirmed being with him between the hours of 8 p.m., 10 p.m. on Saturday.
19:35So the super's not her killer.
19:37And no one else was seen on the victim's floor, except for the neighbors, which means these four are potential
19:43suspects.
19:44Exactly.
19:44Well, uh, Betty was at the senior center.
19:47Nurse Carla was working the night shift at the hospital.
19:49Josh Brown, Rebecca Brown were both at Slam Poetry Night.
19:53All of them confirmed.
19:54So we have no suspects.
19:56Come on, you two used to be my go-to guys.
19:59I don't know what's going on, but you need to get out there and find out who did this.
20:03Yes, sir.
20:08Testing, testing.
20:10One, two, and five, six, seven, eight.
20:13Cool it.
20:14I need to get into character.
20:20I can see you looking at me.
20:22Just, this is how I do it.
20:30Curtains up.
20:32Good afternoon.
20:34My name's Yolanda, and I have a question for you.
20:37Do you believe in cheeses?
20:40What?
20:40I represent the cheese of the month club.
20:43And, uh, I'm here to offer you a good deal.
20:46Work it, girl.
20:47I don't think I'm interested.
20:49Well, cheese is an aphrodisiac.
20:51Do you know that?
20:53Maybe you have a special someone in your life.
20:55Maybe a wife.
20:56Who knows?
20:56Maybe a girlfriend.
20:58Hey, you might have both.
21:00Who's that?
21:01Boss Babe?
21:03Cheese of the month club or something.
21:06Good afternoon.
21:07She's alive?
21:13But I saw him kill her.
21:15Yeah, mostly you made an assy echo out of yourself.
21:17Are you sure it was Boss Babe his wife you were talking to?
21:19Yes, trust me.
21:20They were married, okay?
21:22They hated each other, I could tell.
21:23But actually, I guess it wasn't all for nothing.
21:28It's all there.
21:29Here.
21:30What is this?
21:30From the cheese.
21:31I told them my payment app was down.
21:33I could only take cash.
21:34Sure have the sale.
21:34I gotta run.
21:36I gotta practice parallel parking.
21:38I'm keeping the shirt.
21:48Hey, it's me.
21:50Hey.
21:51You were right.
21:52No murder over here, but I think Scarf Man is still hiding something.
21:56Where are you?
21:57Still stuck on his case.
22:00I had to get out of the office so I could think.
22:02Talk to me.
22:04Okay.
22:04My Vic, this guy named Murray, was killed in his apartment Saturday night, right?
22:08Now, nobody other than his neighbors or the super entered or exited the building the night he was killed.
22:14So it's one of them.
22:15No.
22:15No, they've all been alibied.
22:17Everything about this guy's life was predictable.
22:20You should see his apartment.
22:21It was like OCD organized.
22:23But something's still not sitting right with you.
22:25I can hear it in your voice.
22:26You've gone over everything a hundred times.
22:29You think?
22:29You've gone over everything.
22:31You're investigating.
22:33Now you need to let your mind go and let your instincts do the work.
22:37Just go to the place and stare.
22:40Stare?
22:41Yeah.
22:41Stare.
22:42You have to make sure you're not next to a metronome.
22:44This one time I hypnotized myself and ended up in a Nunez colony in New Mexico.
22:54Are we here again?
22:56Murray had a system for everything.
22:57I think that can help us.
22:58Now look, he kept a newspaper for every single day of the week, right?
23:02Now he would fold every newspaper twice, like this.
23:06So he could put it under his arm, right?
23:08Now, every newspaper is folded twice except for the Saturday paper, bought on the day he was killed.
23:15That one is only folded once.
23:19Well, come on, you've got to admit, it's strange that a guy who was that meticulous would have just forgot
23:23to fold the Saturday paper.
23:25There's a thin line between meticulous and hoarding.
23:28I noticed something earlier.
23:29I didn't think anything of it, but now that you mention it.
23:36Murray, a lotto ticket for every week.
23:42This is every ticket he got in chronological order.
23:45And look at this.
23:46It's the same number every week, only there's no ticket from Friday's draw.
23:51Why is that?
23:53I mean, it's got to be around here somewhere, right?
23:55The only place we haven't looked is the fridge.
24:12Look, the lettuce is all wilted as moldy fruit.
24:17Ugh.
24:18Yeah, even the milk is bad.
24:20Everything's gone bad.
24:23Butter's melted, but everything's still cold.
24:26What if someone took everything out for a day and then put it back in?
24:29Why would somebody do that? It doesn't make any sense.
24:31Yeah, unless someone was trying to pull a con on us.
24:36I think you're right.
24:37Wait, so if someone put him in the fridge, that would change the time of death?
24:40It would.
24:41After you called, I did a deeper dive into some tissue samples and noticed a few anomalies in lividity.
24:47Okay, one more time in English, please.
24:49The victim's blood had pooled around his midsection as though he were upright.
24:53But as we know, the body was found on its back.
24:55So someone really stuffed him in the fridge.
24:57Exactly.
24:58This changes the time of death to Friday night around 8 p.m.
25:02Well, that's a whole day earlier than what we thought.
25:04Look, we need to re-interview all the neighbors.
25:06What better way to give yourself an alibi than to fake the time of death?
25:10All right.
25:11Thanks, Oliver.
25:13Time has always been a critical part of my life and profession, of course.
25:17More often than not, my freedom depended on it.
25:20The timing of security guards making the rounds, a countdown to an alarm trigger, the position
25:25of the sun as it beams through a window.
25:28I've known many men who, in their later years, feared time.
25:31You know the old cliche, there's simply not enough of it?
25:34Not me.
25:35I suppose I've always admired the indifference of time to the weight of memory.
25:39No matter what, it just keeps on ticking.
25:50Wait, did I see what I think I just saw?
25:56Ricky, what do you got?
25:58So I looked into Scarf Man, like you asked.
26:01He's actually got a play in the theater across the street, Murderer by Candlelight.
26:05So it's a murder mystery.
26:06Yep, he's a writer, director, and star.
26:08Typical control freak, megalomaniac.
26:11What about Boss Babe?
26:12She's a money train, you know, big corporate lawyer.
26:16And get this, she owns the theater, which doesn't make a dime.
26:19So he's just a loser with a wandering eye.
26:22Well, infidelity is not illegal, and no one's dead.
26:25Now get back to that video, okay?
26:27No pouting.
26:28I have to go.
26:29Ricky's a busy boy.
26:30Oh, um, Yates says we need to fix our door.
26:33Ricky?
26:41Yates!
26:42Yeah, I'll be your study buddy, if you mean my homicide, homie.
26:48Yes, I still have a cheese.
26:51We think one of Murray's baking buddies killed him on Friday night, but then made it seem like he got
26:55killed on Saturday night, so they could alibi themselves out.
26:58That's why the killer changed Murray's clothes, to help with the illusion.
27:01Exactly.
27:02But when it came down to his belt and shoelaces, they messed up.
27:04What about the super?
27:06Ironically, he was actually repainting an apartment with his wife.
27:09Wait till you guys hear this.
27:12Murray got that paper, that same paper, from the same shop every day.
27:16Just got off the phone the owner.
27:18He says he came through on Friday, got the paper, but he did not on Saturday.
27:20So someone planted the Saturday paper, but they weren't smart enough to fold it the way Murray always did.
27:25I'm not finished.
27:26Murray also played the same exact lottery numbers every week, and guess whose number hit in this Friday's draw?
27:31No.
27:32Oh yeah, Murray won, to the tune of $4.7 million, and guess what? That winning lottery ticket is now
27:40missing.
27:41You two just found your motive.
27:43Get going.
27:47Okay, what animal is it illegal to race against on the highway?
27:51Dog.
27:52Horse.
27:53Okay, this one's both antiquated and judgy.
27:56Women cannot drive in a...
28:01Simmons took Ellis to our burrito place.
28:04Are you tracking his phone?
28:05Of course I am. He's basically a child.
28:16Weird.
28:17Boss babe is meditating during the day again.
28:19She usually only does that at night.
28:23Oh, look.
28:26Scarf man is at it again.
28:30What?
28:31I have neighbors too.
28:40Checks his watch.
28:41Not sure why.
28:43Maybe they're kinky time nerds.
28:49Coveralls on...
28:53Whoa. Whoa, that's a knife.
28:54Oh my gosh, she's gonna kill you!
28:56Again!
28:59Hey, stop!
29:01Call each, how many backup?
29:08Wait, wait, wait! Come back!
29:13She's alive?
29:15Again?
29:16What?
29:17It's not his wife.
29:19Oh my God, that's Hottie in a wig!
29:22That's the woman I talked to yesterday.
29:23With the wig, she looks exactly like Boss Babe.
29:27Why would she fake being his wife?
29:29His wife that he murders.
29:32So Hottie's pretending to meditate just like Boss Babe, and then they're timing it.
29:37I'm off for role-playing, but that has an ick factor of like 11.
29:42Playing.
29:43Oh my God, you're a genius.
29:44What if these fake murders are rehearsals for a real murder?
29:47Of course, there's only one real way to be sure.
30:04Excuse me, are you allowed to be back here?
30:07Oh, I don't know.
30:09Are those stairs allowed to be blocked?
30:12Are those light stands in the fire lane?
30:15Who are you?
30:16I am the fire marshal.
30:18Now leave me at once or I'll shut this whole production down.
30:21Mm-hmm, go.
30:23Bye.
30:25Testing, testing.
30:26So you're British?
30:28I panicked.
30:30Are these things working?
30:32Okay, Gates' vision is a go.
30:34Let's see if we can find Hottie.
30:36Max, how did you get your hands on military-grade spy glasses?
30:39Ah, Ricky.
30:40He gives the best stocking stuffers.
30:42Hmm, can I borrow them?
30:44But if I forget, kill defeat on your end at 10 tonight, okay?
30:46You definitely don't want to see what I get into.
30:49Oh, check this out.
30:52Those are all the props Scarfman was using in his rehearsals with Hottie.
30:56That's the gun and that's the knife.
31:02Stage manager's cue sheet.
31:03What time does...
31:05Foss babe do yoga again?
31:06She starts at 9 p.m. sharp and goes until around 9.45.
31:10The thing is, Scarfman is on stage the entire time.
31:13Yeah, not quite.
31:14According to this, it says that he's got a quick change at 9.10 and he's back on stage at
31:199.20.
31:19Well, it gives him 10 minutes and no one would even know he's gone.
31:23That's why he's timing himself.
31:24Uh-oh.
31:25Tonight's the last performance.
31:27If he's gonna kill her, tonight's the night.
31:30Hey, look.
31:31Can you see this?
31:32I can literally see through your eyes.
31:35So Hottie's the play's costumer.
31:39How do they plan to slip in and out without anybody noticing?
31:46I think I know how.
31:58Hey.
31:59I can see you.
32:00Can you see me?
32:01Yeah, I can see you and I can see your binoculars.
32:03You might want to invest in some blinds.
32:06Okay, I'd say it's about 30 seconds from the back door of the theater to the murder condo.
32:10And then a minute through the parking garage and back up the stairs.
32:13And then it's stab, stab, stab down the stairs, through the alley.
32:15And then back on stage, none the wiser.
32:20With everyone thinking he's behind the changing screen during his one break in the play.
32:23And using Hottie as his alibi.
32:25Neither one would ever get caught.
32:26Do you know what this means?
32:28We just solved a murder before it even happened.
32:30Now we can arrest Scarfman and Hottie.
32:32No, it's circumstantial.
32:34Scarfman and Hottie can rehearse a murder in a mall on Black Friday and there's nothing we can do about
32:38it.
32:39That doesn't make any sense.
32:40Of course it doesn't.
32:41But we live in a world where it's illegal for a woman to drive a motor vehicle while wearing a
32:47housecoat.
32:47So until Scarfman actually tries to murder his wife, we can't do anything.
32:57Look, Gates is right, okay?
32:58At this point it's just circumstantial.
33:00But he's going to try and kill her.
33:02Max, I already ran their names.
33:04Neither Scarfman nor Hottie have a criminal record.
33:06No history of violence, nothing that would indicate murder.
33:09Well, they're conspiring to kill her.
33:10That's got to be some sort of crime.
33:12Yes, it is, okay?
33:13But they haven't actually committed a crime that you can prove yet.
33:16Look, you want to get your mind off this for a sec?
33:18Not really.
33:20Fine.
33:21Okay, my Vic, Murray.
33:22We searched his place and found his wallet, right?
33:24Get this.
33:25No driver's license, no credit cards.
33:28Bet you you hid them.
33:29No, we searched his place three times.
33:31Came up empty.
33:31Of course you did.
33:32You don't hide your driver's license and credit cards at home.
33:35Right.
33:36Because you have to take them with you.
33:40Max, I gotta go.
33:41I'll call you back, okay?
33:43Good luck.
33:53I'll be damned.
34:00How did you know to look in there?
34:01I didn't.
34:03It's Max's idea.
34:06All right, so we have a winning lottery ticket, but we still don't have a killer.
34:34Oh, yes, we do.
34:39All right.
34:41There you are.
34:50Nine o'clock.
34:53Right on schedule.
34:56Same routine.
34:59Now you're in position.
35:01And so are...
35:05Here they come.
35:07I knew it.
35:17Now that Hati's not the victim, she can be on the lookout.
35:20Now that Hati's not the victim, she can be on the lookout.
35:36Okay, there's the knife.
35:37Okay, there's the knife.
35:38He's gonna go through with it.
35:40Where's Hati?
35:51Okay, Hati's gone.
35:54There's no way she could have seen me in the dark.
35:59He's in the apartment.
36:09Yes!
36:14I would've gone with the fist.
36:38and scene wow gates you killed that replacing the real knife with a fake knife brilliant
36:47ricky guess what we got him ricky

38:55you found the lotto ticket and cashed it without us what i did not you're not going to get away
39:01with this betty you barely did anything you had the idea to bend up the corner of the carpet but
39:06that's all i'm the one who had to push him harder onto the class i'm the one that changed the
39:10whole
39:10time of death without me you all wouldn't have thought to put him into the fridge well that didn't
39:15really help in the end and i did not cash any lotto tickets yeah sure you didn't they just told
39:21us then he's oh did you forget something you know what we did actually you found the lotto
39:33getting cashed out to arrest you all of you wait come from the right to pay sign around put your
39:38hands behind your back when you say can and will be held against you this is a mistake you have
39:42the
39:42right to return getting the suspects to turn on each other classic twist well how did you know it
39:48was all of them so when we first interviewed them we took down their birthdays of course now i knew
39:52i had the answer right in front of me but i just couldn't see it so i did what you
39:57said i stared
40:00and i stared and i stared until finally it came into focus turns out their birthdays matched the
40:07numbers on the lotto tickets they were in a lotto pool bingo murray would buy the ticket for the group
40:12every friday except the friday before he died that's what he told them let me guess they didn't believe
40:16him i guess there was a little bit of a scuffle an argument murray fell through the coffee table
40:21even though he was impaled by this piece of glass he was still alive but he wouldn't tell them with
40:26a lotto ticket bus so that's when they pushed him further on the glass and that's ultimately what
40:31killed him ouch such a nice and regular guy and then he goes and does something like this
40:35he has a daughter she's got a ton of dead she's a single mom she was in an accident about
40:40a year ago
40:40so she can't work i think murray saw this as a way out for her you know financial freedom and
40:45the good
40:46news is that she gets to keep the winnings well that's nice i guess you really should fix the lock
40:51i thought you said this was a party where the beats dorks
