00:10Where do I have to put it?
00:27Anywhere you want.
00:29As long as the pumpkin touches the porch.
00:35Maybe we should just go to the party.
00:37Come on, show us the backbone.
00:38We've both done it.
00:39Cog in his catastrophic plane.
00:42Designed and directed by his red right hand.
00:57Come on.
01:15What's he doing to him?
01:37Come on.
01:40What? Are you okay?
01:42Guess who I am?
01:43Uh, a sassy fryer?
01:45Hang on.
01:47Dad ordered this for me on Prime to be sure I got here before Halloween.
01:52How about now?
01:53Okay, uh, a science fryer.
01:56I'm Governicus.
01:57He was the first one to realize the sun is at the center of the solar system.
02:00Oh, yeah.
02:01Okay.
02:02Yeah, I see it.
02:03I love it.
02:03How is it?
02:05Jeez, I fell asleep, huh?
02:07What's that?
02:08Well, this is...
02:11Let's just say it's the reason your sister and I aren't exactly talking right now.
02:15What's she doing? Is she still up too?
02:16She's barely come out of her room since you grounded her.
02:19I think you should talk to her.
02:20Oh, you do?
02:21Okay, well, thank you for your advice, but I think I'm going to Aristotle this one.
02:26Aristotle, you thought silence was louder than yelling?
02:29Close enough.
02:31Yes, but Aristotle also believed anger must always be within the golden mean,
02:34not excessive, at the right time for the right purpose.
02:37Dead on, kid.
02:39All right, fine.
02:39I'm going to talk to her at some point.
02:41Don't worry about it.
02:44Oh, I got a work thing I got to go to.
02:46You go to bed.
02:47Why are you still even up?
02:48Go.
02:49I love the costume.
03:14This is perfect.
03:17It's our first Halloween together.
03:19Is it?
03:20Yeah.
03:21Hop on in here, buddy.
03:23I'm not eating candy at a crime scene.
03:25Right, right.
03:26Why have fun?
03:27I would have thought Halloween was your favorite holiday.
03:29Why would you think that?
03:30It's like the one day of the year you can let your hair down, throw a costume on,
03:34be somebody other than you for one night.
03:39Take a cheat!
03:42Okay, I was wrong.
03:43Can we focus on our dead man?
03:44Yeah, let's do that.
03:47This is Danny Sternblatt, divorce lawyer to the 1%, including the mayor when he split
03:52from his wife last year.
03:53What happened to the walls?
03:54Who killed the lights?
03:55The electricity is on in the block.
03:57Who sassed the motion-censored werewolf across the street?
04:01No!
04:04He knows.
04:04The power is cut at the main panel, as in severed.
04:07Not sure yet by whom or who went at the walls.
04:09Also, the 911 call was unusual.
04:11A group of teens said that they heard a scream through the window and claimed to see something
04:15white and flowy attacking.
04:17White and flowy?
04:18Come on.
04:19As far as I'm concerned, it could have been the curtains.
04:21Yeah, or their imaginations.
04:22Could be Sternblatt just died of natural causes, which is part of what we're here to find out.
04:26Okay, well, he's got marks on his arm.
04:27Looks like somebody grabbed him real hard.
04:29Or Danny grabbed his own arm, maybe during a medical event, perhaps a heart attack, shooting
04:33pain down the arm.
04:34Certainly simple.
04:35Uh-huh.
04:35His hair is either falling out or he's pulling it out.
04:38That with the dark bags under his eyes, I don't think Danny was sleeping very well.
04:43Hmm.
04:48Well, we know who murdered the woodwork.
04:50His blisters on Danny's hands say he was the vandal.
04:53Benzos for sleep, which clearly weren't working very well.
04:56And heart meds, nitroblister.
04:57It's another point for natural causes.
05:00You're thinking he was sitting over here working when his heart gave out, knocked over
05:04his plate on his way down, and ended up there.
05:07At least he won't have to read his own handwriting anymore.
05:10Something doesn't make sense here, though.
05:12Imagine you're Danny.
05:13He's having a heart attack.
05:14You know you have a bad heart.
05:16You have life-saving medication over there.
05:17Why would you run away from the bathroom?
05:19He must be going towards something this way.
05:22That?
05:29Either obsidian or black tourmaline?
05:31Why this?
05:32Maybe an ugly gift from a wife?
05:34Yeah, could be.
05:34Danny's going through his own divorce.
05:36We contacted the wife, Lorraine.
05:37She's on business in London, catching the first flight back.
05:39So the white, flowy thing, not a wife?
05:42Hmm.
05:42Depends which wife.
05:43Lorraine Sternblatt or the ghost of Maddie St. Croix?
05:47Sorry, did you do say ghost?
05:49Mm-hmm.
05:52Oh, wait, just to be clear, I am not suggesting a ghost killed Danny Sternblatt.
05:56You're not not suggesting it?
05:57I like true crime podcasts, sometimes ghost stories, no shame there.
06:01And the Spencer House, where we are now, checks both.
06:03Have you heard of Dash Spencer and Maddie St. Croix?
06:061940s movie stars, screwball comedies, mostly involved a monkey.
06:10Well, they were married in real life, too.
06:11A couple of their day, and this was their house.
06:14Got that from Spencer House.
06:15They died young, right?
06:16Well, a little after they married, Maddie found out Dash had been cheating on her from day one.
06:20And in a fit of heartbreak, she took her own life with an overdose of seco barbita.
06:23Then, a few months later, on Halloween, Dash fell from that balcony and broke his neck.
06:34Which is called a coincidence.
06:35Police ruled the death accidental.
06:37Yes.
06:38But the ghost story crowd always said Maddie's ghost pushed Dash over the rail.
06:42And that she still haunts the house today.
06:44No.
06:45Look, I am not saying I believe that.
06:47Good.
06:47Because a ghost definitely did not kill Danny Sternblatt.
06:49We have two options.
06:50It's either murder or natural causes.
06:54Lieutenant.
06:55I'm sending you a text.
06:57The kids who called 911 sat with our sketch artist.
06:59Curious to hear your take.
07:03What?
07:03What is it?
07:09Sorry, you were just saying.
07:22Oh, wow.
07:23They even nailed the scalloped lace on Maddie's veil.
07:28Fine.
07:28Then you explain it.
07:29What did they see?
07:30That photo, Dad.
07:31You found it online.
07:32They could have, too.
07:33It's a Halloween prank.
07:35They did say they came to the house because of its history.
07:37Verbena.
07:38It's calming.
07:41Emmy's prelim is in.
07:42Danny Sternblatt died of a heart attack.
07:44Wasn't his first.
07:45He had one a few years ago.
07:46So, unless we have something that proves otherwise,
07:49they're going to rule natural causes.
07:52Anyone else feel that?
07:54No?
07:55Weird.
08:04Is this salt?
08:09Oh, we might want to pump the brakes on the natural causes.
08:13Because?
08:14Because Oz is right.
08:15At first, I thought it was just plaster dust, but it's not.
08:18It's salt.
08:19Yeah, look.
08:20The salt leads to fluorite, carnelian, labradorite, obsidian,
08:26and I'm thinking smoky quartz.
08:29Five stones connected by salt.
08:32Danny made a pentacle.
08:33It's a symbol of protection in some cultures.
08:35And so is that bracelet.
08:38Detective Karadek might not believe in ghosts,
08:39but our victim did.
08:41Danny thought his house was haunted.
08:44He was hearing and seeing all kinds of crazy things he couldn't pinpoint,
08:47so he trashed this entire place trying to figure out where it was coming from.
08:52Guy had electricians, pest control, plumbers.
08:55Everyone check this place out.
08:56Okay, Danny was hearing things that go bump in the night,
08:59but we know it wasn't a ghost.
09:00I think somebody who knew Danny had a bad heart staged a haunting to scare him to death.
09:05That would be murder.
09:06All this witchy stuff is not Danny's style.
09:09Somebody had to help him set it up.
09:11And someone who could stop a haunt might be able to fake one.
09:14Danny's phone is password protected.
09:15It's going to take TID some time to crack it.
09:17Us, any of those invoices over there have something to do with ghost remediation?
09:22Um, um, no.
09:27But there is this.
09:33And just from my file, the full name is Calliope?
09:35Just Calliope.
09:37I knew something felt off today.
09:40What was the nature of your relationship with Mr. Sternblatt?
09:42Verbena?
09:43It's good for stress.
09:44Oh, thank you.
09:45We got our fill at the crime scene.
09:48I was Danny's spiritual advisor.
09:50He was raised in a traditional faith and never really connected with it,
09:53so when he reached a crossroads in life, he preferred to ask the universe.
09:57Spiritual, not religious.
09:59Would you mind?
10:01We did a very difficult reading for a client this morning.
10:04We need time to ground.
10:06What sort of crossroads did you talk about with Danny?
10:08Business, mostly.
10:10Managing his law firm, sometimes investments.
10:13Investments like buying the Spencer House?
10:15Especially at the Spencer House.
10:16He wouldn't sleep there until I performed a clearing ritual.
10:19But it was his wife's dream of dream houses.
10:22Sadly, the work I performed there didn't last.
10:24After Lorraine left, something dark welled up.
10:27So you're the one who helped him set up all those protective elements, right?
10:30Have you been in the house?
10:32Mm-hmm.
10:32So you felt the cold spot in the basement?
10:35Heard the crying woman?
10:37Mm.
10:37Can't say that we have.
10:38Where was this?
10:39In the butler's pantry.
10:40Well, that's where I heard her.
10:41Danny heard her at the same time in the sitting room across the house.
10:45The energy in that place is very off.
10:47Yeah.
10:48Hey, how much did each of these clearing rituals cost?
10:51Around $5,000.
10:52Dollars?
10:53Yes.
10:53Why?
10:54I need a minute to ground.
10:56What my partner is saying is it seems you caught yourself a whale.
10:59Danny was terrified and more than willing to shell out.
11:02Yeah, and these rituals didn't work.
11:03But you knew that, didn't you?
11:05This green candle over here, you got it just drenched in bergamot and myrtle.
11:09That's an abundance spell, right?
11:11Only typically those are done during a waxing moon, and right now the moon's waning.
11:16You know your stuff.
11:20Ah.
11:21My cleaning lady must have flipped that.
11:23Oh.
11:24Yeah.
11:25Yeah, I think I do know my stuff.
11:26I also know that a woman who refers to herself and her tarot deck as we doesn't need to consult
11:31a calendar to find out the moon phases.
11:35You're calling me a fraud?
11:36I am.
11:37So, Calliope, what happened?
11:38Did Danny catch on to your scam, cut off the funds so you scared him to death?
11:41No, why would I do that?
11:42My entire business would collapse if people found out my clients were dying.
11:46Now, unless I am under arrest, please leave and take your closed hearts with you.
11:50This is a sacred space.
11:52This is a bungalow in El Segundo.
11:54Morgan, let's go.
11:56If you don't believe the Spencer house is haunted, fine.
11:58But the things I told you did happen.
12:00So perhaps focus less on me and look into what caused them.
12:12What?
12:12She put me in a bad mood.
12:14When were you in a good mood?
12:15I'm a delight.
12:16Well, fraud or no fraud, Calliopey made a good point.
12:18It wasn't in her best interest to kill her golden goose.
12:20And she gives specifics we can use.
12:22A cold spot in the basement, a woman crying.
12:24If someone planted those scares to freak Sternblatt out...
12:27Then maybe they left some evidence behind.
12:28A cold spot in the basement, a woman crying.
13:10A cold spot in the basement, a man crying.
13:28Yeah.
13:29Hey.
13:30How's it going down there?
13:32Uh, great.
13:33I feel like spiders.
13:35Otherwise, not much to report.
13:37You?
13:38Just a rat, cute little guy, or gal.
13:41Not a lot of differentiating characteristics.
13:47Morgan?
13:49Calliope said that they heard a woman crying in two different parts of the house, right?
13:55Well, my kids used to talk to each other through the vents in their bedrooms.
14:03Oh, hello.
14:38Morgan?
14:39Mm-hmm.
14:40I think we're gonna want to see this.
14:56Morgan, where are you?
14:57What's going on? Just tell me
14:59Someone
15:01Or something
15:03LAPD, put your hands where I can see them
15:06Got another runner
15:12I can rise with the time of an hour to the time
15:15Not what I was expecting.
15:20Yeah, maybe.
15:21Oh!
15:24On your feet. On your feet.
15:27Let me go. I didn't do anything.
15:29All right.
15:29I found this in the vent. Let's see.
15:32Okay, a couple of iPads, some computer stuff,
15:36just standard things that somebody hiding in a basement
15:38wearing a wedding dress would have.
15:40I'm guessing these are yours.
15:41Come on, let's go to the station.
15:42You can tell me more about how you weren't doing anything.
15:44Easy, easy.
15:52Oh, thank goodness.
15:54Hate to think anybody was getting any sunlight.
15:56I've been outside.
15:57Wasn't impressed.
15:58How was work?
15:59Pretty good.
16:00I helped stop a fleeing suspect today.
16:03Mostly by just standing there.
16:05But still, the job got done.
16:07She's being questioned right now,
16:08so I had a little time.
16:09I thought I'd come home and get dinner started
16:12before Ludo gets here.
16:13Then I got to head back.
16:14How were your days?
16:15Chloe, go down for her nap okay?
16:18Yeah, Ava got Chloe down, no problem.
16:20School was the usual.
16:21I'm pretty sure Mr. Cabral doesn't know the difference
16:23between mass and weight,
16:25but don't worry, I pulled him aside after class.
16:27I bet he loved that.
16:29So what do you think?
16:30Burrito's okay for dinner?
16:33Still doing this, huh?
16:37Ava was invited to a Halloween party this weekend,
16:40and she really wants to go,
16:42but I think she's still upset that she's grounded.
16:46Really?
16:47You think it might be a smart idea to apologize
16:50for blatantly disobeying me first,
16:52and then we could go from there?
16:55Ava thinks that she didn't do anything wrong.
16:57It's not your job to fix this, okay?
16:59We're all right.
17:00Why don't you go do something
17:00that doesn't involve a screen?
17:02Okay.
17:09Ava?
17:11How long you want to play this game?
17:12Mom, it's been a week.
17:14This is so unfair.
17:14Yeah.
17:17Children are such a blessing.
17:29Captain Wagner.
17:31Board.
17:31Anytime.
17:32This case is a weird one, huh?
17:34It is.
17:35It's not every day a captain insists
17:37on questioning a suspect himself.
17:38Oh, come on.
17:39A woman in an antique wedding dress
17:41pretending to be a ghost
17:42to scare a man to death?
17:43How often do one of those come along?
17:46The mayor's a family friend.
17:48Wants updates.
17:49Pretty sure he and half his golf buddies
17:51want this case closed
17:52before Sternblatt's law practice
17:54and all their divorce details
17:56get dragged through the mud.
17:57I see.
17:58Shouldn't affect you, though.
17:59I provide cover.
18:00You work the case as long as it takes.
18:02Well, that's a nice sentiment,
18:04only I just got off the phone
18:05with the Department of Media.
18:06They were fact-checking a press release
18:08about the arrest,
18:09the one I assume you're holding right now.
18:12Rushing this out
18:12when we don't have the facts yet
18:14doesn't seem to me
18:14like letting the wheels of justice turn.
18:17This arrest.
18:19Sloppy police work?
18:20No.
18:22She's our haunter.
18:23Then you have nothing to worry about.
18:33Shawna Kermie.
18:35That's K-H-U.
18:40Is the furniture small?
18:42No, you're big.
18:45Guess the world wasn't built
18:46for people my size, huh?
18:50Anyway, that's Kermie.
18:51K-H-U-R-M-I.
18:5327.
18:54Special effects whiz.
18:55Electrical engineering.
18:57Oh.
18:58Cal Arts grad.
18:59Wow.
19:00I've asked for a lawyer?
19:01Yes.
19:01I heard.
19:02As is your right.
19:03It's just that this release
19:04is going to go out
19:05before they get here.
19:07So I thought I'd give you a chance
19:08to run in here.
19:09So it is true.
19:10New cap's doing the interview.
19:11Mm-hmm.
19:12Mind if I watch?
19:15Knock yourself out.
19:16You know, I won't lie.
19:18Lawyers hate these releases.
19:20Court of public opinion.
19:21Once we tell the world
19:23you're a killer,
19:24good luck convincing a jury otherwise.
19:26But we're just going to go
19:27with what we know.
19:28You applied your skills
19:29to stage a high-tech haunt
19:30spanning a matter of months,
19:32used your fancy toys,
19:33and an inspired cameo
19:35as the ghost of Maddie St. Croix
19:37that led to the death of Danny.
19:40You killed him.
19:41And then you saw those kids
19:42at the window.
19:43You knew the cops
19:43were coming then, right?
19:45At least that's the story now.
19:48But, you know,
19:49I know you have a lot of student debt.
19:51And I also can't tie you
19:52to Sternblatt,
19:53which means someone paid you.
19:55Shauna, give me their name.
19:57And this press release
19:59disappears.
20:00You don't get labeled a killer,
20:02and this whole thing
20:03comes grinding to a halt.
20:08Help me help you.
20:11I tried to save him,
20:12but I don't know CPR,
20:13and she never told me
20:14about his heart condition.
20:15She who?
20:16Danny's wife, Lorraine.
20:23Wow, that's...
20:25That's good.
20:26That's good work.
20:27Sure, but he still
20:28could have told us.
20:30Lorraine back in town yet?
20:31She should have just landed.
20:32She did say something
20:33about having to stop
20:33by her office first
20:34before coming to see us.
20:35Well, then have
20:36Karatek and Morgan
20:37meet her there.
20:37I think she'll squeeze this in.
20:43I'm just trying to make sure
20:45you're taken care of.
20:46No, you're not.
20:47You're trying to make sure
20:48you're taken care of.
20:49You always love that house
20:51more than you love my dad.
20:55Excuse me.
20:57LAPD.
20:59Did you just say
21:00Danny Sternblatt was your dad?
21:02Yeah, I'm Paloma Nichols.
21:04I'm really sorry for your loss.
21:05It doesn't sound like Lorraine
21:06in there is your mom.
21:08Dad's second wife.
21:09He and my mom split ages ago.
21:11Wait, do you think Lorraine
21:13had something to do
21:13with his death?
21:14It was too soon to comment.
21:17I wouldn't put it past her.
21:18She invited me here
21:19to supposedly make peace.
21:22Really, she wanted
21:22to feel out my intentions.
21:24My dad's body
21:24isn't even cold yet.
21:27Sorry, Ms. Nichols.
21:28We may have some questions
21:29for you, too.
21:30Is there any way
21:30we can reach you?
21:31Yeah.
21:32It's Dr. Nichols.
21:34Here's all my info.
21:36When you are ready to comment,
21:37we'd love to hear it.
21:39Joanie, I'm Wyatt.
21:40I'm gonna head home.
21:41Hey, if the police call again,
21:44let them know
21:44I'll go there in the morning.
21:47Saved you the trip.
21:50Ms. Kermie identified you
21:51by name.
21:52Says you met
21:53when you spoke
21:54at a class she took
21:54and a few months later
21:55you approached her
21:56for help with a haunting
21:57and offered her a job
21:59at your firm in exchange.
22:00Shauna says she had no idea
22:01about Danny's heart
22:02and we believe her.
22:03The problem is
22:04you did know
22:05because he'd had
22:06a previous heart attack
22:07when you guys were married.
22:09I knew.
22:11His recovery was
22:13the last time
22:13I can remember us
22:14being good to each other.
22:16So it sounds like
22:17you did love each other
22:18at one point.
22:19Yeah, I mean,
22:22he used to write me
22:24these letters
22:24all the time.
22:27We were one of
22:28history's great couples
22:30like Dash and Maddie.
22:33Until Danny started
22:34acting a little too much
22:35like Dash
22:36and cheated on you.
22:36I was devastated.
22:39And then when I
22:40decided that I had enough
22:42he used every trick
22:44against me.
22:45He changed locks
22:46while I was traveling.
22:47Swore I'd never get the house.
22:49It was all about winning.
22:50So you decided
22:51to play dirty too
22:52and used as superstitions
22:53to get what you wanted.
22:55Listen, I know
22:56that it went too far
22:57but I never wanted
22:59to kill him.
23:00I just wanted the house.
23:02I mean, I figured
23:03if I spooked him enough
23:04he would just sign it over.
23:07Wait, you...
23:08You met his daughter
23:10on her way out.
23:11The house was in Danny's name.
23:13He left it to her.
23:15She would inherit the house.
23:17You needed him
23:18to give it over to you
23:19while he was alive.
23:22Yeah, well...
23:23It doesn't change
23:23the fact that he's dead
23:24and I have to live with that.
23:30Wait.
23:31Is this Danny's handwriting?
23:33Oh, this doesn't look anything
23:34like the letters of the house.
23:37That writing was
23:38really messy, shaky
23:40like his hands were weak.
23:41Also, I think he was
23:43off balance.
23:44Poor guy was stumbling
23:45all over the place
23:46like the undead.
23:48Karadek, I think we've got
23:48to check those sleeping pills.
23:50I'll have the Emmy
23:50fast track his docs report.
23:52Wait, what's going on?
23:54You could have scared
23:55Danny to death
23:56but I don't think you did.
24:00I think he was poisoned.
24:04Lab reports are back.
24:07Those weren't sleeping pills.
24:09Danny Sternblatt died
24:10from a potassium chloride overdose
24:12which induced
24:12a fatal heart attack.
24:14Emmy said it was
24:14a smart way
24:15to kill someone.
24:16Potassium chloride
24:17spikes naturally
24:17in the blood after death.
24:19Autopsy never would have
24:20caught it.
24:20Which means if we
24:21hadn't tested those pills
24:22Lorraine Sternblatt
24:22would have gone down
24:23for a murder she didn't commit.
24:25Solid catch by Morgan.
24:26So, someone knew
24:27the wife was gaslighting Danny
24:28and piggybacked on that
24:30making it look like
24:30she haunted him to death.
24:32Who?
24:33Had to be someone close to him.
24:34Someone with access
24:35to the pills.
24:35You take a closer look
24:36at the daughter?
24:37Paloma will get the house
24:38but the money motive
24:39feels weak.
24:39She's an orthopedic surgeon
24:40married to another
24:41orthopedic surgeon.
24:42She's fine.
24:44What about Sternblatt's practice?
24:46Didn't the wife say
24:46he was tough as nails?
24:47Yeah, said he used
24:48every nasty trick in the book.
24:49He even came up
24:50with some new ones.
24:50Maybe a divorcee
24:51he did a number on
24:52wanted revenge?
24:53Or maybe a rival lawyer.
24:54We'll head over to his firm.
24:55The guy had enemies
24:56over there.
24:56We'll find out.
24:59He was murdered?
25:01Oh, my God.
25:02I figured his heart
25:03just gave out.
25:04Were you worried
25:04Mr. Sternblatt
25:05thought that his house
25:06was, um, haunted?
25:08He made it impossible
25:09not to know.
25:11Danny was freaking
25:12everyone out.
25:12That woo-woo bracelet,
25:14jumping at shadows.
25:15We're wondering
25:15if anyone he went up
25:17against with in court
25:17might have known that, too,
25:18and used that knowledge
25:19against him.
25:20I wish.
25:22Well, I'm sorry.
25:24I came out wrong.
25:24I just meant that Danny
25:25wasn't in court
25:26any time recently.
25:28He was too wrapped up
25:29in his own divorce
25:29and winning that damn house.
25:31He had it off
25:31all those other cases
25:32months ago.
25:33Stopped coming in
25:33at all the last few weeks.
25:37Look, I was worried
25:37about my friend.
25:45Wouldn't you be?
25:46How about it?
25:47I'll have to call my wife.
25:52Huh.
25:53Well, sounds like Sternblatt
25:55wasn't making any enemies here.
25:56Took himself completely
25:57off the board.
25:58Mm-hmm.
25:59Feels like all roads
26:00keep leading back
26:01to the Spencer house.
26:02What do you say
26:03we give Daphne's ghost theory
26:04another run?
26:06I just do not get this guy.
26:08I mean, digging in
26:09out of spite,
26:10that's one thing.
26:11But Sternblatt hated the house.
26:13He wasn't sleeping.
26:14He knew he had a bad heart.
26:15At a certain point,
26:15you would think
26:16that the fear
26:16of having a heart attack
26:17would override
26:18the desire to win a divorce.
26:23You're missing out, Guillory.
26:24Looks like one of your
26:25crime boards
26:25exploded all over
26:26our victim's office.
26:28Only in every direction,
26:29it's nothing but house,
26:30house, house.
26:31Maybe it is something.
26:33What's that?
26:33Well, I was doing
26:34a little digging around
26:35in the Sternblatt
26:36divorce documents
26:37trying to find something
26:38that would pop out
26:39as a motive to kill Danny.
26:40And?
26:41Nothing popped.
26:41But then I noticed
26:42something weird
26:42about the house.
26:43The appraisal
26:44when they bought it
26:45showed it as
26:45300 square feet
26:47smaller than it was
26:48when it was appraised
26:49in the 1940s.
26:50I mean, maybe that's
26:51a mistake, but...
26:52No.
26:53No, it's here
26:54on the blueprints too.
26:56300 square foot difference
26:57between the old
27:00and the new.
27:01How could they lose
27:02300 square feet?
27:04But the footprints
27:05look exactly the same.
27:07It's like there's
27:07a disappearing room.
27:08I don't think
27:09we're done there yet, boys.
27:10I think the Spencer house
27:12has more secrets to tell.
27:13And I'm sensing
27:14you have a way
27:15of figuring that out.
27:29He didn't need to
27:30straighten that.
27:31Mind if I ask
27:32why you pulled
27:33half my bullpen down here?
27:34Do you mind
27:35if I answer
27:36in the form of a story?
27:37Don't answer that.
27:38It's happening.
27:38It's starting right now.
27:39Deep in the gloomy glens
27:40of ancient Scotland
27:41stands Castle Glamz.
27:43Legend has it
27:44that the heir
27:45of the 11th Earl
27:46of Strathmore
27:47was hidden away
27:47in a secret room
27:49that was walled up
27:49and never to be seen again.
27:51But then,
27:52a few hundred years later,
27:53there was a new lady
27:54of the castle
27:55and she set out
27:56to find the infamous
27:57hidden chamber.
27:58This Lady Glamz
27:59knew that if a room
28:00had actually been walled up
28:02that it would still
28:02have a window.
28:03So she asked her ladies
28:04in waiting
28:05to tie a handkerchief
28:06to every window
28:07they could find.
28:08And lo and behold,
28:10only one window remained
28:11that was hanky-free
28:12from the outside.
28:14And that was how
28:15she found the secret room.
28:18And there it is.
28:22I'm guessing this was
28:23Lorraine's craft room
28:25before Danny booted her out.
28:27Hey, that secret room's
28:28got to be behind
28:29these bookshelves.
28:31Oh!
28:32You see it?
28:33Why don't you help us see it?
28:35This panel.
28:36It's plain sawn.
28:37It has to do with
28:38how they cut the lumber.
28:39These shelves are all
28:40quarter sawn,
28:41so is the rest of the house,
28:42but this panel
28:43is plain sawn.
28:44Maybe Danny broke
28:45that panel when he was
28:46tearing this place up
28:47and then repaired it,
28:48but why only make
28:49the one fix?
28:50Ah!
28:52Ah!
28:53Ah!
28:53Ah!
28:55Ah!
28:56Ah!
28:57Ah!
28:57Ah!
28:58Ah!
28:59Ah!
29:02Ah!
29:02Ah!
29:04Ah!
29:06Ah!
29:07Ah!
29:08Ah!
29:10Ah!
29:16this this is maddie's old boudoir oh and that hat that's the hat that she wore to the premiere of
29:22the last film she made with dash can i try a couple of these things on before they get shipped
29:27off to
29:27some museum their evidence i'll be careful so we think this room's been tucked away for 70 plus
29:33years oh well maddie took her own life dash must have walled it up probably because his conscience
29:38couldn't handle any reminders of a woman he'd driven to suicide okay check out this gem this
29:42room might have never been found if lorraine hadn't started haunting danny this room is part of
29:46history why would danny want to hide that from the world same reason he didn't leave when he started
29:51being haunted gotta be something in here worth sticking around for like this oh yeah that would
29:58do it speaking of gems it's the only thing not covered in dust there is a rumor that when maddie
30:02caught dash with his mistress he tried to make it up to her with a diamond necklace if those diamonds
30:06are real they're real they'd be worth enough to kill for hey want some of this i figure we deserve
30:21a
30:21little unwind while we wait to see if that necklace you found is real root beer on an unprotected lip
30:28you're a madman i'll take it slow did i shame you into that no no it was time all winning
30:35streaks
30:36have to come to an end is that what we're calling it it's okay i'll take the can hey you
30:42a dash and maddie
30:43fan yeah i was a little disappointed in all the gory details yeah this case isn't a ringing endorsement
30:51for marriage ever been married no no no i mean weddings are great they're it's very sweet i get it
31:02i just it's good for people i just the whole courthouse and the paperwork and the
31:08the permanence of it you know kind of kills the romance
31:18yeah oh just seeing some things i don't think you are if this was an interrogation though it's not
31:23interrogation so knock it off well now i know i'm right okay fine what things are you seeing well
31:32first of all you're gripping that can so tight i'm worried you're going to be wearing the soda the neck
31:38massage a little self-soothing fiddling with the candy those eyes of yours are jumping around to
31:43everywhere but mine i think the talk of marriage is making me a little anxious okay yeah yeah i don't
31:51like it you know my brain has a way of making sure relationships don't last very long so let's just
31:59leave it at that okay what about you me oh i'm into a four-year deal that's working out pretty
32:06well
32:07really yeah she understands me and for the most part i understand her
32:16she's gorgeous thanks do you have a name ingrid well congratulations ingrid seems like a real catch
32:22thank you what about an actual human woman have you ever married one of those got real close
32:31she passed away a few years ago i'm sorry yeah me too
32:42looks like they need us
32:4918 karat white gold waterfall 102 cushion antique cut diamonds 85 french cut for a grand total of 317
32:56carats designed in paris by celebrated sisters ophelia and josephine beaumont in 1946.
33:01it's a strong accent so it's authentic according to our contact based on the piece itself she said
33:09it was worth around 10 million add in a sexy providence with a tragic hollywood ending and you
33:14what double the price sounds about right so why was it still there sternblatt must the ballpark
33:19its worth why didn't he put it in fort knox or try to find a tycoon to buy it no
33:23the guy was a divorce
33:24attorney nobody knew better than him that if lorraine found out she could claim half so we're thinking he
33:28opted to leave it behind the wall until the divorce was final anything else would have been too risky
33:32then he could sell it and make up a story about where he found it but somebody else knew it
33:36was
33:36there and their plan was to kill danny steal the necklace until the kids saw shauna being maddie's
33:41ghost and got us down there so fast the killer missed the window to complete the theft well the
33:46good news is this person doesn't know we have the necklace so that could be a good
33:53i don't think danny was sleeping very well i just went to the house no the energy in this place
34:00is
34:00very off you're trying to make sure you're taking care of
34:06you know who did it don't you yeah so so let's give them their window
34:18based on evidence uncovered by detectives and lapd's major crime squad we have arrested lorraine
34:25sternblatt on suspicion of poisoning her estranged husband noted attorney daniel sternblatt
34:32we must be devastated if it helps to ease your mind those who cross over no longer feel the pain
34:39we
34:39do that's what i'm not so sure of the crossing over i went there this morning the police released
34:45the house to me maybe it's all the stress talking but i felt him there well energy can linger but
34:52then
34:52he could be in pain trapped wait could you help him of course i would recommend a clearing ritual
35:07all i would need is a few hours to myself in the house and then i think we can put
35:13him to rest
35:19seasons don't fear the reaper under the wind the sun or the rain
35:25we can be like the night come on baby baby take my hand come on baby
35:43oh i know that look that's the who are you and how'd you guys figure me out look hey partner
35:49you
35:49want to start this one off sure did you know to get rid of decades of tarnish from a priceless
35:55diamond
35:55necklace all you need is a dab of essential oil now i would recommend verbena supposedly it's
36:00good for stress yeah she's crazy about that verbena you see when i saw a bunch of tarnish-free
36:05fingerprints on those links that very calming smell led me to believe that you knew about the
36:12necklace all along i think danny told you that he was being haunted and you jumped right on that
36:17opportunity you knew somebody else was already gaslighting this very gullible man how they were
36:22doing it didn't really matter you didn't care all you needed to do was draft off of their haunting
36:28and collect your paychecks poor danny trusted you so much that when he found maddie's necklace he told
36:33you about it right i mean after all he never made a move in this house without consulting you and
36:37you
36:37came up with a plan to kill him that's right you switched out his sleeping pills for potassium chloride
36:43and you convinced him to check in with you every morning to discuss all of the creepy things that
36:48happened the evening before you see we have a tech team they cracked danny's phone and we saw the
36:52texts so the day you didn't receive one you knew that danny had had his coronary event if your plan
36:57had worked you could have just came back here and swiped the necklace but the police got here too fast
37:01didn't they blew your window so we tried to help you out we staged an arrest for lorraine that way
37:06paloma
37:07could lure you back into the house yes it worked happy halloween you're under arrest
37:21karadek where's the bird bird yeah that giant awesome black raven that was perched on the clock
