00:24It's a cruel, cruel world to face on your own
00:28A heavy cross to carry along
00:32It's a funny way to make ends meet
00:35When the lights are out
00:38Baby's dream, it feels alright
00:41But never complete
00:43Without you
00:47I'll check you out
00:49If it's already been done
00:52I'll do it
00:55It takes you
00:57It's up to me and you
01:00To prove it
01:03On the rainy nights
01:06Even the coldest days
01:08No moments ago
01:10But seconds away
01:12Ooh
01:15Ooh
01:16Ooh
01:18Ooh
01:19Ooh
01:20Ooh
01:20Ooh
01:20Ooh
01:31Ooh
01:32Ooh
01:35Ooh
01:35Ooh
02:23How did you sleep, Lieutenant?
02:25You want me to lie to you?
02:27Sort of.
02:28Fantastic. Like a baby.
02:36Good morning.
02:37Lieutenant slept great.
02:38I didn't ask. No, she did not.
02:44Mason puts Anthony Acosta's death between 3 and 5 p.m.
02:48Confirmation of shotgun?
02:49It's the murder weapon.
02:51Next of kin?
02:52The primary suspect, the wife, Lynette Acosta, vanished.
02:56They have one daughter, Letty, studying up at Santa Cruz.
02:59Should be on her way down here now.
03:01You gave her the news?
03:08So, how do we find the wife?
03:10Only other next of kin is her sister, Sophia Belliott.
03:18Who did this?
03:20Hey!
03:22Who did this?
03:25Who changed our board?
03:27A man is dead.
03:28Our primary suspect is missing.
03:30This is not a joke.
03:34Daphne, I want to know who did this.
03:39Mom!
03:40No, we don't need a magazine about castles.
03:43Put it back.
03:45Uh-uh.
03:46It's just lip gloss.
03:47You know, I watched a documentary the other night.
03:48We can make our own lip gloss out of beeswax.
03:50Like when we made our own detergent and it all got rashes.
03:53That could have been foot and mouth.
03:54We don't know.
03:55Why can't you be more like your sister?
03:56She just tried to eat deodorant.
03:58Look how happy she is.
04:05All right, your grand total is $168.47.
04:12$173.81.
04:14Good guess, though.
04:15Yeah, it's $168.47.
04:17Sorry, it's $1...
04:19Oh, maybe you missed a coupon.
04:2130% off detergent at $7.87.
04:23That's $236 for a total of $5.51.
04:2715% off strawberries.
04:28That's $0.84 and up to two.
04:30So you can scan this one twice.
04:33Okay, 35% off canola oil at $7.88, $5.13 total.
04:38Oh, okay, I was worried about this one
04:40because I had a little falling out with the group on people,
04:42but I apologize.
04:43We were supposed to be good.
04:44That one's scanned.
04:46$3.12 more then.
04:48The ham expires tomorrow, so we get 40% off.
04:51That is $6.15.
04:55Yeah, the total is $168.47.
05:08$4.99 plus tax is $5.34.
05:11$173.81 minus $5.34 is $168.47.
05:30Who the hell is this?
05:40When are we getting the car back?
05:42Do you have any idea how much carburetors cost?
05:46$395.95.
05:47Plus tax.
05:48$420.89.
05:49Plus labor.
05:50I don't know how much labor costs.
05:52Nobody does.
05:53Stop showing off.
05:54Both of you.
05:55You can pay for groceries like a normal person.
05:57You don't have to perform.
05:58It's not on purpose.
05:59I just see the numbers.
06:00I can't help it.
06:01Oh, this is our stop.
06:03Driver, can you put out the disabled ramp?
06:05Ask him to put out the disabled ramp.
06:06No, driver!
06:07Mom!
06:10Oh, oh, oh!
06:12Oops!
06:13We gravel away!
06:14We have a lot of accidents.
06:15I know what is this?
06:17Covering, let's go.
06:18Oh.
06:20Oh, whoops!
06:21I'll see you inside, Chloe.
06:23Eat, eat, eat!
06:24Don't even offer to help!
06:26I got it.
06:27I got it.
06:27It's okay, Henry.
06:28I can manage.
06:30Come on.
06:32Don't break your old body.
06:34I can't afford to lose a babysitter right now.
06:36Your concern is truly touching.
06:39Have you heard from Nudo?
06:41We talk every day, Henry.
06:43Co-parent.
06:44Our enemies are just not together anymore.
06:47Does she ever ask about me?
06:50All the time.
06:51He says losing you is the hardest part.
06:56It's for the best, and you know it.
06:58Ludo can't handle me.
06:59If you can.
07:03Morgan Guillory.
07:04I'm Detective Karadek.
07:06This is Detective Osdill.
07:07We need you to come down to the station.
07:21Sometimes the music takes control.
07:25Tampering with a criminal case is a serious crime.
07:28So is obstruction of justice.
07:30It wasn't tampering.
07:31I saw a problem, and I tried to fix it.
07:33You were trying to help us?
07:34No, I don't care about you.
07:36I wanted to be able to sleep.
07:39I have a compulsion to put things right.
07:42If I see a mistake, I need to correct it.
07:44Otherwise, I'm up all night obsessing.
07:46That's all I was doing, cleaning up your mess.
07:48You want to arrest me for that?
07:49Fine, go ahead.
07:50You got it.
07:54What mistakes did you see?
08:02Okay.
08:04So, you've got a dead body.
08:07I'm assuming you think this lady offed her husband, but that's not possible.
08:11Look at this room.
08:12Look at this couch.
08:13All of these pillows are evenly spaced with alternating colors.
08:17Check out these shelves.
08:18Those objects are perfectly sized.
08:21Even the choice of metals is consistent.
08:23This house is immaculate.
08:24The owner is a tidiness freak.
08:26Except, all of these curtains are fastened with a tieback, except for one for some reason.
08:35That's odd, isn't it?
08:37You're telling me this woman who meticulously arranges her couch pillows doesn't care about her curtains?
08:43So the tieback must have been used for something else.
08:46See, look, you've got hair stuck to the chair leg.
08:49Somebody put tape around it, ripped it off, the glue stayed, and trapped the little bits.
08:54The samples are at the lab.
08:56We found no tape at the scene.
08:57That means someone was tied up with the curtain cord and taped to the chair around their ankles.
09:02And since there are no marks on the victim's wrist, it wasn't him who was tied up.
09:07Which means there was a third person.
09:10We have Lynette tied to the chair, victim on the ground, and our unknown bondage freak who was either kidnapped
09:16or bumped off Lynette.
09:18And that's the person you need to find.
09:21So, you guys made mistakes.
09:23I've fixed them.
09:25Let's not make a big deal out of this.
09:26You got a suspect to find.
09:28I have some expired ham to fry up before tomorrow.
09:31So, if you will excuse me.
09:33Sit down.
09:34Let's wait for the lab results.
09:36For now, this is just speculation.
09:38We have the surveillance footage.
09:40The woman was seen entering the house at the time of the murder.
09:42The third person!
09:46Oz, please escort Miss Guillory to the holding cell.
09:49What?
09:49We have to check your story out.
09:50If it all checks out, then you have nothing to worry about.
09:53Yeah, I know how to stand.
09:55Thanks.
09:57I was just cleaning up your mess!
09:59You're welcome!
10:01Since when do you show an open case file to a civilian?
10:03A potential suspect.
10:05Can you review anything she said?
10:09No.
10:11We have to be sure, because if she's right...
10:13And we currently have a botched homicide investigation with no leads.
10:17And even worse...
10:22We have a second victim.
10:28Hello?
10:32Hi.
10:33This is footage from the Acosta house at the approximate time of the murder.
10:37Who is she?
10:38Lishka Jing.
10:39A few months ago, she filed a civil lawsuit against one of Lynette Acosta's clients.
10:44Acosta won the case.
10:45It appears Yang didn't take it well.
10:47She started sending threatening emails to Acosta.
10:55Miss Yang, three months ago, you sued Brian Diamond, your boss at Spatial Technologies.
11:01He harassed me.
11:03For months.
11:04I ran out of ways to tell him no.
11:06So, one night, he locked me in his office and assaulted me.
11:11I reported it to the police.
11:12I'm sure you have that in your file.
11:14Insufficient evidence.
11:16Couldn't file criminal charges, so...
11:18I sued him.
11:20And you lost.
11:21Is that why you've been sending Lynette Acosta threatening emails?
11:23I was just questioning why Lynette Acosta chose to be complicit in the suffering of women like me.
11:29You were angry at Mrs. Acosta.
11:31Of course.
11:32Even though Diamond was the one who assaulted you.
11:34Oh, I am angry with him, too.
11:37But the police failed me on that front.
11:42What were you doing at Acosta's house yesterday?
11:45I wasn't at her house yesterday.
11:48We have you on video.
11:49And 30 minutes after you arrived, Anthony Acosta was dead.
11:57That's impossible.
11:58No, no.
11:59I wasn't there yesterday.
12:02I was at home.
12:04All day.
12:05Working.
12:06Can anyone confirm that?
12:11No.
12:16You're clear.
12:17Just need to sign your paperwork and you're good to go.
12:21She claims to know nothing about Lynette's whereabouts, but...
12:23Zhang has no alibi.
12:25We have her at the scene and we have motive.
12:27Once we make the arrest, we'll lean on her for Lynette's location.
12:30Start writing it up.
12:31Yeah.
12:33The video has the wrong date on the timestamp.
12:35This doesn't concern you anymore.
12:38Great.
12:40Wait.
12:41What are you talking about?
12:43That's not from yesterday.
12:45Look at the trees.
12:46The wind is blowing from south to north.
12:52Wind in the L.A. basin blows from the south in the summer.
12:55Specifically mid-July to September.
12:57Then in late fall, winds shift in from the north, peaking in January.
13:02So that's got to be from several months ago.
13:04How do you know which way the wind is blowing?
13:06Have you even looked at your footage?
13:09You got a church.
13:14Churches face east.
13:17Okay.
13:18Around the 8th century, priests started orienting their churches facing east.
13:22They said it was based off the designs for the Holy Temple in Jerusalem.
13:25But it's also possible that they wanted the sunrise behind them to make themselves appear more godlike and impressive.
13:33But that's not something we need to get into right now.
13:36All churches face east?
13:38Then can't the wind change direction?
13:41Catholic churches built here in the 1800s do, so yes.
13:44And the wind was definitely blowing from the north yesterday.
13:51She's right.
13:52On both counts.
13:55Someone doctored the video.
14:00See ya.
14:03Good lord.
14:04Wait!
14:07How do you do that?
14:08Like I told you, I don't sleep much.
14:10Watch a lot of documentaries.
14:12That doesn't remotely explain this.
14:17I also have an IQ of 160, so that might have something to do with it.
14:21But you can learn a lot from a good documentary.
14:22You'd be surprised.
14:24It's a high IQ.
14:26We get it.
14:26Can I go now?
14:27I know a lot of really smart people.
14:29They're not you.
14:32The technical term is high potential intellectual.
14:35It means you have advanced cognitive abilities.
14:38Intellectual creativity, photographic memory, stuff like that.
14:41But I don't know.
14:43I've just always been this way.
14:44So it's some sort of a gift?
14:46No, not a gift.
14:48I obsess over every little problem I see.
14:51My mind is constantly spinning out of control, which makes it impossible to hold a job.
14:57A job, a relationship, a conversation, not a gift.
15:15It's Morgan.
15:16Ludo?
15:17What are you doing here?
15:18Elliot called me and told me you were arrested again.
15:20I was not technically arrested this time.
15:22Oh, well, great.
15:23That's a relief.
15:23Who's watching our children?
15:25Hey, take this somewhere else.
15:28I'd love to, but you're standing right in the way.
15:31Why are you looking at him?
15:32Yeah, please don't look at me.
15:33Take her out of here.
15:34He's not taking me anywhere.
15:36He is a driver's ed instructor.
15:37That's not really relevant right now.
15:39What it is if you show up in your rehearsal car, which I will not be caught down in.
15:41I don't care.
15:42Put a muzzle on her, or I will.
15:44Oh, that's not what you should say.
15:45Oh, did you see?
15:46Don't touch me, okay?
15:48Morgan, Morgan, let's not explain.
15:49That's fine.
15:49I'm not gonna...
15:50She's gonna break you!
15:51Hey!
15:53Get off me!
15:57Always fun to see you, Morgan.
15:59Don't start.
16:02Hey, how much longer is this gonna take?
16:04Do you have any idea how expensive child care is these days?
16:07What, you're paying Henry now?
16:08No, she doesn't have to know that.
16:13Henry misses you, by the way.
16:16Uh-uh.
16:24Lydia Costa, I'm Detective Karadek, who spoke on the phone.
16:28I'm handling the investigation into your father's death.
16:30I'm very sorry for your loss.
16:36My mom's dead, too, isn't she?
16:39I don't know.
16:41But I believe that she's out there, and she's alive, and I will not stop looking until I find her.
16:47But I need your help, Leti.
16:49The more you can tell me, the faster we can move.
16:55Mom's been having a hard time.
16:57She had a colleague at work.
16:59She killed herself.
17:01I think mom felt guilty about it.
17:03Who was this colleague?
17:04I don't know, but she wrote mom a letter a couple weeks back, and after that, mom started to spiral.
17:11What did the letter say?
17:12She wouldn't tell me, but shook her up bad.
17:16That's really when all this started.
17:18Do you know where your mom might keep a letter like that, Leti?
17:21If it's not at the house, it would be in her office.
17:24And you don't know who sent it?
17:26Only her first name.
17:27It was, um, Sarah.
17:30Because it's material evidence into a homicide investigation.
17:36I understand, I understand.
17:38Yes, sir.
17:40It's no use.
17:42Lynette Acosta is a defense attorney.
17:44There's no way we're going to get a warrant to search her law offices based on the vague mention of
17:48a letter from someone named Sarah.
17:50I'm going to go down to their offices and appeal to their better nature.
17:52I don't like our odds.
17:53Neither do I, Selina, but we have to try everything, right?
17:55A woman is missing, and we're desperate here.
18:02Take Morgan Guillory with you.
18:06If it wasn't for her, we'd be nowhere.
18:08We'd still be treating Lynette as the primary suspect.
18:11What is she supposed to do?
18:13Same thing she's been doing.
18:14Spot the things my detectives miss.
18:19To be fair, I miss them, too.
18:22Look.
18:22This isn't a debate, Adam.
18:26Looks like I'm going to be stuck here a little bit longer than I thought.
18:34Just tell him I love him, and I'll be home as soon as I can, okay?
18:37Thank you, Henry.
18:38I really owe you.
18:48Hey, Leti.
18:50I'm so sorry about everything that's happened.
18:54Thanks.
18:55Sorry, who are you?
18:56Oh, it's...
18:58Long story, I saw your file.
19:02They're going to find your mom.
19:04You can't know that.
19:07Sorry, everyone keeps saying the same thing.
19:09Don't give up hope.
19:11My dad's dead.
19:13Now my mom's gone, so what am I supposed to do?
19:22Yeah.
19:25Do you have any pictures of her?
19:34This one she just sent me two days ago.
19:38Wow.
19:40She's beautiful.
19:42It's the last photo I have of her.
19:45You know, what was really helpful for me is to think of the little moments.
19:48Think of your mom's laugh.
19:50Think about her favorite foods.
19:53You're going to have to redirect your brain when you think about her.
19:56Otherwise, you're just going to drive yourself crazy while you wait.
20:01You lost someone?
20:04I did, yeah.
20:06Long time ago.
20:09Miss Acosta, they're ready for you.
20:21Hey.
20:23Did you ever find them?
20:28No.
20:29Well, I'm sorry.
20:37So the way I see it, we're looking at evidence tampering, assault on an officer, battery.
20:43Even if we knock it down to misdemeanors, you're still looking at six months minimum and thousands in fines.
20:48Did you really think this was going to work?
20:51You're going to, what, intimidate me into helping you?
20:55If you'd like my help, you should just ask me nicely.
20:59A woman is missing.
21:01Please.
21:03Help us find her.
21:13You got it.
21:19Here's what we know.
21:20Anthony Acosta died yesterday afternoon.
21:22Last time anyone saw Lynette, however, was two days ago at her law office.
21:25Okay.
21:26But I'm wondering, who made this case board?
21:29Because this is a lot of work.
21:32Also, Aunt Van from Hobby Lobby.
21:34Their daughter, uh, Letty, believes that one of Lynette's clients, identified only as Sarah, wrote a letter causing significant tension
21:41between her parents.
21:41We're going to talk to the firm, but only after we interview Lynette's sister.
21:44Sister, because she's the last person who spoke to Lynette, which I learned from looking at this case board.
21:49Also, guys, I just figured out this gentleman in the corner, he's the one.
21:52He makes the case boards.
21:54Why aren't we moving?
22:02Okay, let's be very clear.
22:04You are not going to say anything, you are not going to touch anything, and you are not going to
22:08do anything.
22:09Right, right.
22:10I should probably be strapped in case things pop off.
22:13I'm serious.
22:14Do nothing.
22:15Do nothing.
22:26You can take my bedroom, and I'll sleep on the couch.
22:35Sophia, did your sister mention anyone from her professional circle who may have died of suicide recently?
22:40Someone named Sarah?
22:42Doesn't sound familiar.
22:45She wrote Lynette a letter, we believe something, and it caused her distress.
22:49Sorry, could you put that down?
22:51It's breakable.
22:53She said nothing?
22:55I mean, I get the Sarah part.
22:56Every third woman's named Sarah these days, but somebody writes my sister a letter, and then she yaffs herself.
23:03She's probably going to say something.
23:06I don't have a sister, but you get it.
23:09Sorry, who is she?
23:11She is consulting for us.
23:13When was the last time you spoke to your sister?
23:15Two days ago, she called to wish me luck with my presentation.
23:18You're a biologist?
23:21Um, yeah, I had a PhD defense, um, in front of my peers.
23:26I was nervous, and she calmed me down.
23:30You can read that from over there?
23:33I only read half of it.
23:35Biology's boring.
23:36Is that where you were yesterday, at your presentation?
23:38Morgan?
23:38From like 3 to 5 p.m.?
23:39Stop it.
23:40I'm just asking about her alibi.
23:42My goodness, you think he's never done this before.
23:45If you can't keep your mouth shut, please treat our witnesses with some compassion.
23:49Particularly grieving members of the victim's family.
23:51You don't think the Sarah thing was a little weird?
23:53You died today, I'm telling people about it.
23:55I've only known you for like four hours.
23:57We have to get our hands on that letter.
23:59Yes, exactly.
24:00Let's do it.
24:01We will ask Emery Walker to search Acosta's office.
24:04You will wait in the car.
24:08If I get in that back seat, he's going to lock me in the car, isn't he?
24:13Probably.
24:14What am I even doing here?
24:15Do you want my help or not?
24:16No, I do not.
24:18I thought I made that absolutely clear.
24:20I think this whole idea is moronic, and I am praying that you will just quit.
24:26And walk away.
24:30Okay, let's confirm the sister's alibi.
24:32You go to the university, talk to her colleagues, and I'll deal with Emery Walker.
24:36What about her?
24:38Not our problem anymore.
24:41Detective Keredick, it is my personal desire to assist your investigation in any way possible.
24:46But as you can understand, I must also represent the interests of my law firm.
24:50But your partner's life might be in danger.
24:52And if you return with the warrant, I'll be happy to comply.
25:11Hello, bathroom friend.
25:14What are you doing in here?
25:15I figured I'd find you in here after the meeting.
25:17Did you think that I wouldn't notice you compulsively washing your hands like some sort of clean freak?
25:23You do know that's a cry for help, right?
25:24You can't be here.
25:26Oh, I know.
25:27Imagine what a men's room is like for somebody who notices every little detail.
25:31Calm down.
25:33Found the Sarah letter.
25:34What?
25:36How?
25:37Oh, I broke into her office and took it.
25:57Read the letter.
25:59Sarah Atkinson was a paralegal on the Brian Diamond case.
26:02And guess what?
26:03Brian Diamond assaulted her also.
26:05It's all in there.
26:06Same pattern as before.
26:08She begs Acosta to take action against her client.
26:10I figure Lynette Acosta had a crisis of conscience, was going to turn on Diamond, so he did something about
26:17it.
26:18We have motive.
26:19We have a serial criminal.
26:20Let's go arrest him.
26:22Stop.
26:23You have no idea what you have done.
26:25We have nothing here.
26:27This letter is inadmissible.
26:28I can't have this in my possession.
26:29What?
26:30You're going to let him go on a technicality?
26:31No, these are not technicalities.
26:33These are laws, principles that I've devoted my entire life to protecting.
26:37Jesus, I thought my life was sad.
26:39Your life is sad.
26:40You've got shopping carts from three different grocery stores in your yard.
26:43I wouldn't have to go to different stores, but Safeway has those weird wheel locks.
26:47This is the law.
26:48There is absolutely nothing here that proves that Brian Diamond murdered anyone, and even if there was, guess what?
26:52We can't use it in court.
26:53Because despite what you may think, we can't run around breaking into offices and arresting people at win.
26:58It's not how the law works.
27:00Right now, the only clear crime here has been committed by you.
27:04And by me, unless you get away with it.
27:07But if...
27:07Stop talking.
27:11Okay.
27:13This didn't happen.
27:14You're going to take this letter, and you're going to put it back exactly where you found it.
27:17And if you get caught, I am going to arrest you myself.
27:24And then what?
27:26And then we're going to go talk to Brian Diamond.
27:34Mr. Diamond, a few months ago, you were sued by Lishka Zhang.
27:38And I won.
27:39Yes.
27:41She wrote to your lawyer, in fact.
27:43He harassed me over the course of six...
27:46This is my first interrogation.
27:47What do we do?
27:48You don't do anything.
27:49Is it like a good cop, bad cop situation?
27:51You want me to go in there and flip the table over?
27:53No.
27:55She lost her case.
27:58The jury saw the truth.
28:00Lishka Zhang is simply an employee with a grudge.
28:02They'll seem to follow you around.
28:04Tell me about your relationship with Sarah Atkinson.
28:08When did we get to hit him with a phone book?
28:10Never.
28:12Hey, how's it coming?
28:13Let's get ready for his alibi.
28:14Give me a date to print on him for the day of the murder.
28:16I'm on it.
28:17Yeah, also tell Daphne I took one of her lollipops and I feel bad about it.
28:20I'm not telling her that.
28:21I heard her, and thank you!
28:22I thought I was here to help with my lawyer's disappearance.
28:25Not relitigate old claims.
28:27The Atkinson claims are not old.
28:30Well, if there have been new claims against me, I'm not aware of them.
28:35Yeah?
28:36I got bad news.
28:37Diamond wasn't in town the day the murder wasn't anywhere close.
28:40He was in Fontana.
28:43You certain?
28:44Positive.
28:47Fontana?
28:47The Kentucky of California?
28:50Fontucky?
28:50What the hell was he doing in Fontana?
28:52Doesn't matter.
28:53He wasn't here.
28:57Look at his shoes.
28:59Those are Italian seams, handcrafted.
29:02Look at his watch.
29:05That guy is not going to be caught dead in Fontana.
29:09There are only two reasons you go to Fontana.
29:12Number one, you want to catch hepatitis at the water park.
29:17Number two, you have to go to your cousin's bachelorette party and she is on a budget.
29:24I can literally think of a hundred other reasons to go to Fontana.
29:27Okay, ask him.
29:28Tell Karadek to ask Diamond what he was doing in Fontana.
29:32My lawyer, my friend, is missing.
29:35Please tell me you didn't bring me in here to rehash vague grievances by hysterical employees.
29:43Let's take care of this right now.
29:46Tell Karadek!
29:47That's not how this works.
29:50Hey!
29:53Ask him about Fontana!
29:55How?
29:56What the hell is this?
29:59Don't say another word.
30:00Mr. Diamond, thank you for your time.
30:03What?
30:06No!
30:09Chester Emery's secretary noted a woman dressed, quote,
30:12quite provocatively for the cleaning staff.
30:15Enter Acosta's office twice this afternoon.
30:18What happened?
30:27Karadek!
30:29Karadek!
30:29Diamond was in Fontana on the day of the murder.
30:32You gotta ask him why.
30:33Stop.
30:33We're done.
30:34This entire idiotic experiment is finished.
30:37No, it doesn't make any sense.
30:38Stop pretending you can do this.
30:40It's over.
30:41Be grateful you're not in jail.
30:42Go back to your real life, Morgan.
30:44Morgan, leave this to the professionals.
31:06Do you know what direction all stairs went in medieval castles?
31:09Clockwise.
31:10You know why?
31:12To make it easier to chop people coming up the stairs.
31:15Exactly.
31:16But what if you're left-handed?
31:18Well, the world wasn't exactly built for people who are different.
31:24Phone away at the table, please.
31:26Eat dinner with your family like a normal person.
31:29Okay.
31:42Hey.
31:46You know, Chloe and Elliot are going to be with Ludo this weekend, so I was thinking we could
31:50go to the park like we used to, get some ice cream.
31:53Not six.
31:57What's going on?
32:06I'm not like you and Elliot.
32:08He's got your memory, your weird brain, your way of noticing everything.
32:14Well, you got some of my qualities, too.
32:17You know, you got my rebelliousness, my distrust of authority, my sweet fashion sense.
32:23I have your worst qualities.
32:25Elliot and Chloe have everything.
32:28To be fair, Chloe's still a baby.
32:30We don't really know her deal yet.
32:32That's not what I'm talking about.
32:37Ludo thinks of you as his daughter.
32:40It's not the same.
32:42No.
32:44No, you're right.
32:45It's not.
32:46Honey, your father loved you so much.
32:50Sure.
32:51That's why he left.
32:53No.
32:54It's more complicated than that.
32:56It's fine.
32:56Whatever.
32:57I don't even remember him.
32:58Who cares?
32:58If he could be here...
32:59I'm glad he's not.
33:01I want to be alone.
33:10Okay.
33:13Okay.
33:39Elliot, don't forget your science project.
33:41Ava, you can't have donuts for breakfast.
33:43Why would you be in a turkey today?
33:45Here you go.
33:45Elliot?
33:47There's a man standing in our yard.
33:55Why did you want me to ask Diamond about Fontana?
34:02Come inside.
34:04This mush needs to go into this kid.
34:08Diamond is not a Fontana guy.
34:11More importantly, I noticed something in Sophia's apartment yesterday.
34:14All of the little tchotchkes on her shelves were dusty.
34:17Except for one.
34:20Sophia was in Fontana recently.
34:22So was Diamond.
34:23So what?
34:24People go to Fontana.
34:26Both of them?
34:27I'm a godless woman.
34:29What does it matter?
34:30They both have alibis for the time of the murder.
34:42Come on.
34:45Pick up the phone, Henry!
34:48You can't borrow my car today.
34:50I don't need to borrow your car today!
34:52I did need to borrow his car today, but that's beside the point.
34:55Just come over here!
34:56How long does it take for flowers to die after you deliver them?
34:59Like wilted and brown die?
35:01Depends on a few factors.
35:02Mainly the type of flower.
35:08Ranunculus.
35:09Four days, at least.
35:11Henry?
35:13You are a good man.
35:14And an even better florist.
35:15Let's go!
35:17What?
35:17I'll explain on the way.
35:20Go, go, go, go.
35:20Grab the car seat.
35:23Grab the car seat.
35:24Diamond and Sophia are having an affair.
35:27He was trying to groom her like the others, but she was on board.
35:33He's doing it to stay close to Lynette because he knows he's guilty and he needs leverage.
35:38Can we roll the siren?
35:39Absolutely not.
35:40Sure.
35:41No, no, no, Mom, no, stop.
35:42Not in the drop-off flight.
35:52I was home.
35:54This is the LAPD.
35:55We have an APB out on two extreme cutie pies.
35:59All right, everyone have a good day.
36:00Go Bulldogs.
36:01Bye.
36:02Love you.
36:02Woo!
36:04So, Diamond, he learns of Lynette's change of heart, right?
36:07He knows this is the end for him.
36:08He's desperate now.
36:09He and Sophia go to Lynette's house to put pressure on her.
36:12But, surprise, her husband Anthony is there, too.
36:15And that is when things quickly get out of hand.
36:18I'm with a student.
36:20Oh, great.
36:21You can teach her how to install a car seat.
36:22Thanks, babe.
36:26Again, the problem is...
36:27They both have alibis, but what if the murder did not happen when we think it happened?
36:58Okay.
37:00Diamond and Sophia are trying to threaten Lynette.
37:05Noted Second Amendment enthusiast Anthony Acosta gets involved.
37:14Turns out to be not the best decision for him, and now we've got a dead body.
37:21Which is a real kick in the nards, because what are we going to do with Lynette?
37:26But how do they cover it up?
37:27Time of death was during Sophia's presentation.
37:29All of her colleagues saw it there.
37:41Letty's last picture for Mom was taken three days ago.
37:45These flowers were fresh and new.
37:47They should still be pink.
37:48But they were already dead in the crime scene photos.
37:55What does Diamond do for a living?
37:57Security technology.
37:59And what does Sophia do for a living?
38:00She's a botanist.
38:02Do you know what this room is?
38:04Oh.
38:08A greenhouse.
38:10Yes.
38:11Yes.
38:12These are state-of-the-art climate controls, so Diamond turns the entire place into one giant refrigerator.
38:18He freezes Acosta's body and leaves.
38:21That night, he doctors the video framing Lishka Zhang.
38:23The next day, he raises the temperature remotely, cooking the house, and completely messing up the coroner's time of death
38:28estimate.
38:31What do they do with Lynette?
38:33Well, if they were going to kill her, they would have done that right here.
38:35That's the smart move.
38:37Well, maybe Sophia has a hard time with that.
38:40I mean, it is her sister.
38:41So they kidnap her, right?
38:44To buy themselves some time.
38:46And where do they take her?
38:49Ask Diamond what he was doing in Fontana.
38:52You see, Fontana's not that far away.
38:54It has to be relatively close.
38:55They've got to get there and back in the same night.
38:56And there's no paper trail.
38:58No charges for either of them in that area.
38:59So they're taking her someplace secure.
39:02Someplace one of them owns.
39:05Someplace they've been meeting up to have their affair.
39:09Someplace remote.
39:12But familiar.
39:40I don't know.
39:52I don't know.
39:53I don't know.
39:55I don't know.
40:02I don't know.
40:03I don't know.
40:03Lynette Acosta is going to be OK thanks to you.
40:13It's a job offer.
40:15Come be a consultant.
40:17Do this full time.
40:18We need you.
40:35We're not cut out for this.
40:40But thank you.
40:44If you change your mind, you know where to find me.
40:49You can't have to find me.
40:51I'm going to find you.
40:53I'm going to find you.
41:09Let's see.
41:10Mom?
41:14Mom?
41:15Mom?
41:15Mom, Mom.
41:40Ava, I need to talk to you about your dad.
41:42Um, no.
41:44You should have seen the look on his face when I told him I was pregnant.
41:47Stop it.
41:47He was so happy.
41:49Then why did he leave?
41:52He didn't leave.
41:54He, he vanished.
41:56Something happened to him and the police, they never believed me, but I know that he would
42:01not have left you.
42:02Hey, but he did.
42:04He's gone.
42:04He's been gone for 15 years.
42:06Mom and lying to me about it isn't gonna help.
42:08Honey, I'm not lying to you.
42:10I'm telling you that he would not have done that to us.
42:13Then, stop lying to yourself.
42:38I want a raise.
42:40Add 30% to your offer.
42:42No, add 20% and childcare.
42:45You figure that part out.
42:47Is that it?
42:48If I work for you, you work for me too.
42:51I need you to find someone.
42:53His name is Roman Sinqueira and he vanished 15 years ago.
42:57The police say that he just skipped town, but I know that he didn't.
43:03So, I need help.
43:09Please, help me find him.
43:14You got a deal.
43:19Did you ever say it?
43:22Did you ever say it?
43:30Did you ever think you were thinking about it?
43:31Pray into your room.
43:34Let's do it.
43:35I need help.
43:36I'm sorry.
43:41You got a deal.
43:42I need help.
43:43I need help.
43:46You need help.
43:46Go to your house.
43:50You need help.
43:51It's going to help.
43:51You need help.
43:55So faster.
