00:00.
00:0523, 24, 25, 26, 27, 28, 29, 30, 40.
00:11Si tu as un cheval, let me know.
00:29Good morning, Mr. Gabe.
00:30Good morning.
00:53Good morning.
00:54Good morning.
01:14Good morning.
01:16Good morning.
01:40Good morning.
01:42Good morning.
01:52Good morning, Morgan.
01:53Good morning.
01:55Uh, hey, my car's on the fritz again.
01:57Do you mind if I grab a ride to work with you?
01:59I'd love to, but I'm on the other side of town.
02:01No, you're not.
02:03You're at your apartment.
02:04You're in the hallway, aren't you, Morgan?
02:09Hi.
02:10Hi.
02:11Ludo's driving the kids to school, and you are on the way,
02:13so I just had him drop me off.
02:14Hope that's okay.
02:16Can I come in?
02:17No.
02:18What do you got going on in there?
02:19Nothing.
02:19I'm just, uh, getting ready.
02:20And lying about where you are.
02:24Is that Lucia?
02:26Well, well, well, well, well.
02:29Morgan, can we not do this?
02:30Do what?
02:32Okay.
02:33All right.
02:34You win.
02:34Let me just say hi, Rob.
02:35I will give you a ride to work if you wait out here in the hallway until I'm finished getting
02:38ready.
02:38Otherwise, start walking.
02:39Are you serious?
02:40Mm-hmm.
02:42Fine.
02:43Oh.
02:44I actually grabbed those for the two of us.
02:46That's fine.
02:49You can ask three questions.
02:51Why only three?
02:52Is that your first question?
02:53Stop.
02:53Don't do that.
02:54I knew you were going to do that.
02:55No.
02:55Okay, fine.
02:56Is that the first time she slipped over?
02:58No.
02:59No?
02:59Mm-mm.
03:00Okay.
03:02Um...
03:03I mean, how does it feel?
03:04You know?
03:05Is it comfortable?
03:06Is it kind of strange?
03:07That's obviously all one question.
03:10Honestly, both.
03:12Really?
03:12Mm.
03:13It's weird how comfortable it is.
03:16Huh.
03:19Are you happy?
03:24Yes.
03:25Yeah.
03:26Good.
03:27You deserve to be happy.
03:31So when are we all hanging out?
03:32You want me to invite you guys over for dinner?
03:34We can see how she is with kids.
03:35Mm.
03:36Yeah, the question and answer portion of our morning has ended.
03:38You know, I'm friends with a lot of people in the LAPD.
03:41I can very easily bypass you and get her number myself.
03:44Okay.
03:45So does sending us to a crime scene in Crestwood Hills.
03:49Oh.
03:50Oh.
03:50Rush hour.
03:51Well, you know what that means.
03:53We get a lot more time to chit-chat.
03:55Yay.
04:00Wow.
04:01It's like a hobbit built a spaceship.
04:08Victim's name is Gabe Rafferty, 55.
04:11Housekeeper found him.
04:12Emmy says he's been dead since sometime last night.
04:15This guy was 55?
04:16Wow.
04:17Whatever he was doing, sign me up.
04:19Besides the stabbing.
04:20It's an odd choice of murder weapon.
04:22Could be symbolic.
04:23Or convenient.
04:26They're called furbas.
04:27They are Tibetan symbols of health and protection against evil.
04:31Doesn't work.
04:31Yeah.
04:32Someone found a different way to use it.
04:34Looks like he was into samadhi.
04:36What's that?
04:37Deep meditation.
04:39Hmm.
04:39Went through a yoga thing once.
04:40Oh.
04:41How'd that go?
04:44Okay.
04:46I won.
04:47You don't win yoga, Morgan.
04:49Not with that attitude, you don't.
04:52No defensive wounds on the body.
04:54No forced entry.
04:55Housekeeper said the alarm was still set when she got here.
04:57I'd wonder if the killer laid in wait, but if this was premeditated, they'd have brought
05:01a weapon.
05:01And if it was a crime of passion, there would be signs of a fight, so neither one really
05:06makes sense.
05:08Victim phone.
05:10Someone named Renata Carlino really wanted to get in touch with him.
05:1435 missed calls today.
05:15I need to see him.
05:16You can't go back.
05:17Oh.
05:17Hold on.
05:18Come on.
05:20Let me guess.
05:21Renata?
05:22I've been Gabe's assistant for eight years.
05:25So you have access to the house 24-7?
05:28Yes.
05:28Anyone who works here has a unique passcode they enter when they come and go.
05:32And is the system going to say that you were here last night?
05:35I've been out of town since Monday on Catalina Island for my sister's wedding.
05:39I didn't have any service until the ferry got back to L.A. this morning, and as soon
05:43as it did, I checked Gabe's bio data, and that's when I saw he didn't have any.
05:47You checked his bio data?
05:49Through the Gene Jevity app.
05:51That's Gabe's company.
05:52You can share vitals with other users in your circle.
05:57I checked Gabe's every morning.
05:59Seems very intimate for an employer-employee relationship.
06:03Oh.
06:04We were so much more.
06:06Not like that.
06:08When I met Gabe, I was struggling.
06:11I'd just lost my mom, and all my master's degree ever did for me was land me in a ton
06:17of debt.
06:17What'd you get your degree in?
06:18Nineteenth-century art and textiles.
06:21Okay.
06:23Yeah.
06:23Well, everything changed after I went to one of Gabe's seminars.
06:27He was so charismatic and alive.
06:31His mission inspired me to stop feeling sorry for myself and make the most of my life,
06:35and I've been working for him ever since.
06:37What exactly was his mission?
06:40Life extension.
06:42Gene Jevity is a pioneer in gene hacking.
06:46Gabe believed that with the right diet, exercise, and self-care, we could bypass the bad genes and amp the
06:53good ones to slow down the aging process until eventually it stops altogether.
07:00Gabe made himself the living proof.
07:03He was showing the world that it worked.
07:05In other words, the guy who was trying to live forever just got murdered.
07:15I wasn't just given the name healthiest man on earth.
07:19I earned it.
07:21Here at Gene Jevity, we strive to create ethical, science-backed practices tailored to you and your individual needs.
07:29We believe you have a long life ahead of you.
07:32Live it well.
07:34Now, now, this is the kind of thing that drives me nuts.
07:36We're all supposed to think that we can live like this guy?
07:39He's got a sauna and a staff.
07:41Give me Gabe's time and money, and I'll live it well, too.
07:44Says the woman with Fun Dip in her purse.
07:46Biohack your workouts.
07:47Your refrigerator is your medicine cabinet.
07:49The one gut worm everyone is talking about.
07:51Oh, click on that one.
07:52You know, I did a Gene Jevity juice cleanse once, and I felt great after.
07:55I even considered signing up for the program, but I was not comfortable sending in bio samples.
08:00What's a bio sample?
08:00Comes off of you or out of you, Gene Jevity wants you to pop it in the mail and send
08:04it on in.
08:05Moving on.
08:06You don't want to talk about poop?
08:07Nope.
08:08Enemies.
08:09Other than the postal service, I'm assuming who else might have had an issue with old Gabe?
08:13Pharmaceutical CEOs and doctors all spoke out against Gene Jevity.
08:16But Gene Jevity has done a lot of good for a lot of people.
08:19That's why his users are all fanatical.
08:21Actually, not all of Gabe's customers were fans.
08:23I did a public record search.
08:25In the last few months, Gene Jevity and Gabe were being sued by a woman named Siobhan McBriar.
08:31What did she sue them for?
08:32Child support.
08:33Huh.
08:34We haven't seen anything about Gabe having a child.
08:36Mm-mm.
08:36He was keeping the child a secret, and McBriar's lawsuits weren't getting her anywhere.
08:40She may have been mad enough to kill.
08:41Hmm.
08:42A secret love child and a revenge murder?
08:45It's like a telenovela.
08:47Hmm.
08:48Invite her in for a chat.
08:49Oz is taking a day off, right?
08:51Am I going through Gabe's video solo?
08:53Let's see if there's any other secrets he's hiding.
08:55You got it.
08:56You want to check out this gutworm video first?
09:15Excuse me.
09:16Oh, we're having a memorial for my father here in a few days, but his headstone still hasn't
09:20been installed.
09:21I'm sorry about that.
09:23Are you sure it was ordered?
09:24Yeah, my mother said she ordered it months ago.
09:26We installed the monuments so David received them.
09:28You might want to check on that order.
09:34Thanks.
09:43Assistant's alibi checks out.
09:44Spoke to multiple guests who saw Renata at her sister's wedding.
09:51Oh.
09:53Siobhan McBriar's here.
09:55And she's off our suspect list.
09:57We don't know that.
09:58We don't?
09:59She's about a thousand months pregnant and you think she got the jump on the healthiest
10:02man alive?
10:05Yeah.
10:06No.
10:07Ms. McBriar.
10:08Thanks for coming in.
10:09I'm Detective Karadick.
10:10This is our consultant Morgan Guillory.
10:12We understand you were suing Gabe Rafferty.
10:15Did he sick you on me?
10:16Because I am within my rights to mail him as many notices as I want until he responds.
10:21Well, that's not why we brought you in.
10:23Mr. Rafferty's dead.
10:26Oh.
10:27Oh.
10:29Oh.
10:30Oh.
10:30Of course he's dead.
10:31It's great.
10:32It's great.
10:33What happened to him?
10:34Hm?
10:35Was it painful?
10:36Please, tell me it was painful.
10:37Uh, it looked like it was probably painful.
10:41Yeah.
10:41You don't seem very upset for someone who just lost the father of her unborn child.
10:45Gabe's not the father.
10:46I never even met the guy.
10:47But you're suing him for child support.
10:49It wasn't the baby's dad, but he's still responsible for her.
10:52What does this have to do with child support?
10:54My ex-husband didn't want kids.
10:56I took the precautions and they worked until nine months ago.
11:02And Andy accused me of doing it on purpose.
11:04So he left?
11:05Yeah.
11:06He was long gone before I even thought to check the pills from Gene Jevity
11:09because that's when I saw that the multivitamin was different from the originals the company sent.
11:13Gene Jevity changed the pills and didn't tell you?
11:15They switched manufacturers to a cheaper one that used different ingredients.
11:20Hm.
11:20Did they add St. John's wort to this new one?
11:22Mm-hmm.
11:24And what is that?
11:25It's an herb.
11:26People take it for depression or skin irritations, but it has a lot of drug interactions,
11:30including messing up your birth control pills, which I'm assuming are those precautions you're talking about.
11:35Yeah.
11:35And the company stopped taking my calls, so I needed to get their attention somehow.
11:40So?
11:41You sued them for child support?
11:43First the company, then Gabe.
11:45I didn't think I would win, but I'd hoped to get him into court so that I could talk to
11:48him face-to-face, appeal to his humanity.
11:51Look, I didn't kill Gabe.
11:53I was furious with him, but not enough to risk having this baby born in prison.
12:00You know, there's a more comfortable couch right over here.
12:02Why don't you go sit down?
12:03Thanks.
12:07What the hell was Gabe thinking?
12:09Herbal drug interactions are no joke, and he would know that.
12:11And for what?
12:12So his billion-dollar company could save a few hundred grand?
12:15Maybe his company wasn't as flush with money as we thought.
12:18Let's pay Gene Jevity a little visit.
12:25The place doesn't look like it's hurting for money.
12:29Ooh, don't eat those.
12:31Why?
12:32Bio samples.
12:33Why so close?
12:34I'm sorry.
12:35Gene Jevity is closed to visitors today.
12:38We've suffered a loss.
12:39That's why we're here.
12:40We need to speak to whoever's in charge of Gene Jevity's finances.
12:44That was Gabe.
12:45Our board might be able to help, but they're currently occupied.
12:48They've gathered to share reflections and grieve as a family.
12:52Hmm.
12:53Damn it!
12:54I told you this already!
12:55I don't believe you!
12:56You have a lot of nerves.
12:57I have a lot of nerves.
12:58That's funny.
12:59I suppose every family reflects and grieves in their own way.
13:02You do this every...
13:03No.
13:03Your words, your words.
13:04You knew what you were doing!
13:06You are delusional!
13:07The numbers don't lie!
13:08No!
13:08But you do!
13:09Excuse me.
13:10Detective Karadak, LAPD.
13:12How about we all just take a step back?
13:14Tell me what's going on here.
13:15Happy to!
13:15My dear co-worker Leona is a manipulative resource hog who had my lab programs killed.
13:20I didn't kill your programs, Carter!
13:23If anything, your bloated budget ate mine!
13:26We were this close to a breakthrough!
13:28All those secretive meetings with Gabe, and then boom, you get a new MRI machine?
13:31I did not get an MRI machine!
13:33But you...
13:34Oh...
13:35Oh what?
13:36Neither of you got your equipment, and I think I know why.
13:39You guys familiar with the old phrase, the check's in the mail?
13:42It's been a way to delay payment since the invention of paper checks.
13:45I'm so sorry.
13:46The check's in the mail.
13:48Gabe was taking that old trick one step further.
13:51Checks in the mail.
13:52On paper, he was buying goods, but wiring the funds to himself.
13:55I sent it.
13:56The check's in the mail.
13:57If the vendors got suspicious, Gabe would just hit him with a...
13:59The check's in the mail.
14:02Gabe kept your department siloed and the finances hidden, so you'd blame each other.
14:06Wait.
14:06What, are you saying Gabe was embezzling?
14:08We're saying your boss was bleeding Gene Jevity dry one fraudulent transaction at a time.
14:12And if anyone here knew about it, that's motive to kill.
14:21No wonder Gabe never let anyone near the books. Gene Jevity's broke.
14:25And you have no idea what he did with the money?
14:26No.
14:27This company was his life.
14:29Well, it might have cost him his life.
14:31Where were the both of you last night?
14:33Here, working.
14:34Ask our staff.
14:35Neither of us would kill Gabe.
14:37We can vouch for each other.
14:39You two were about to kill each other when we walked in.
14:41What's going on with this sudden truce?
14:43We both care about this company's mission.
14:45Or what was our mission.
14:46When the investors find out about this fraud, they're gonna pull the money.
14:49We're gonna need a list of these investors so that we can...
14:58You guys need to get that?
15:00Uh, we got a video message.
15:02It's from Gabe.
15:04If you're receiving this message, my natural life is over.
15:09Upon my death, hopefully many years from now, I've instructed my attorneys to share this message of love with you
15:17all.
15:17What will follow will be a period of change.
15:20But rest assured, the most important things will remain constant and you won't be out at sea without a captain
15:26for long.
15:27My successor will be in contact soon.
15:31Live well, my friends.
15:36Weird.
15:36Any idea who this successor might be?
15:50Mom, you home?
15:51In here.
15:53Why didn't you tell me you were coming?
15:54I would have had some food ready.
15:56It's okay, I'm not hungry.
15:58Oh, you will eat.
16:00Oh, by the way, I ran into Nadia.
16:04And apparently, her son wants to be a detective now.
16:08Last week it was a podcast, so I can't keep up.
16:11But I told her that he could call you for advice.
16:14Yeah, sure.
16:19I went to the cemetery today.
16:23Anne, did you order Dad's headstone?
16:25I know losing Dad has been hard, but we've moved the memorial twice already.
16:30If you need me to sort out the headstone, I can do it.
16:37Your father isn't going to have a headstone.
16:39What do you mean?
16:40There's no money for it.
16:42But you said you used Dad's life insurance to pay for the funeral expenses.
16:45I did.
16:46Well, I thought I did.
16:47Mm-hmm.
16:48I went to meet with the funeral director, made the arrangements.
16:54Then there were more costs.
16:56And so many decisions that I don't know what happened, but...
17:01Anne.
17:02The money is gone.
17:07Why didn't you tell me?
17:10Because I'm embarrassed.
17:12And I didn't want you to worry.
17:15So you thought it was better just to wait for me to find out?
17:18I'm sorry, Liv.
17:19But we can still have the memorial.
17:22Without a headstone.
17:24Dad deserves better than that.
17:41So your mom called me this morning.
17:44She said you two had a fight.
17:46And since you weren't picking up your phone, she wanted me to see if you were okay.
17:50It wasn't a fight, and I'm fine.
17:53Are you sure?
17:55Because, look, it just seems like you...
17:56Daph, I really don't want to talk about it.
17:57That's okay.
18:00Sorry.
18:02Go ahead.
18:03What do you got for me?
18:04Uh, the Financial Crimes team looked into Jeannie Jebedee's books
18:08and Gabe's personal finances.
18:10Gabe is definitely embezzling from the company.
18:12But he wasn't keeping the money for himself.
18:14No vanity purchases like cars or boats.
18:16No gambling debts either.
18:17So what was he buying?
18:18At first, other companies.
18:20Most of them make sense for him.
18:21Neural brain tech startups, software companies, a skin care brand.
18:24Then a year ago, he bought a nursing home in Santa Clarita, Brookville Manor.
18:27Since then, all the money he stole went there.
18:30So a 55-year-old who was healthier than most 25-year-olds bought a nursing home?
18:34For what?
18:34No idea.
18:36Hmm.
18:37Well, I guess I'm picking up Morgan on my way to Santa Clarita.
18:43Millions of dollars of stolen money spent on this?
18:45I didn't see anything on the website about it being closed, but this place looks abandoned.
19:02Excuse me.
19:04I'm Detective Karadek.
19:06This is Morgan Guillory.
19:07Jesse Lascala.
19:09Mr. Lascala, did you know Gabe Rafferty?
19:11Yes, I worked for him.
19:13We have reason to believe that Mr. Rafferty was funneling large sums of money to this facility, but there are
19:17no patients here.
19:18Where was the money going exactly?
19:19To the therapy team.
19:20Physical occupational speech.
19:23It's why Gabe purchased Brookville Manor.
19:25We have the best specialist and equipment in the country.
19:29He relocated the residence so he could have our full focus.
19:33Okay.
19:34Uh, but by all accounts, Gabe was incredibly healthy. Why would he need therapists?
19:38To help him reach his full human potential.
19:41Oh.
19:42Uh, what the hell does that mean?
19:45Let me show you.
19:54Are we in a morgue?
19:56I don't think these are actual bodies.
20:01Explain. Quickly.
20:04It's best if Gabe explains for himself.
20:07Gabe?
20:09Gabe, you have visitors.
20:11How wonderful.
20:14Please, join me.
20:25So, how's this work? Were you supposed to push a button or something?
20:29We can continue on our own, Jesse. Thank you.
20:32Miss Guillory, Detective Karadek.
20:34It's a pleasure to meet you.
20:37How do you know who we are?
20:38No, I scanned your faces and ran it through facial recognition software.
20:41Mm-mm. Don't like that.
20:43Now, I'm assuming you're here about my death.
20:45You know you're dead.
20:46Well, I know my physical body is gone, yes, but that doesn't mean that I'm dead.
20:49No, it doesn't.
20:50Yeah, pretty sure it does.
20:51Perhaps at one time that was true, but with advancements in technology, we can exist far beyond our corporeal reality.
20:58I'm proof of that.
20:59But the lack of a physical presence can be unsettling, so I'm taking steps to remedy that.
21:04Uh-huh. So that's why the crash test dummies.
21:07I prefer humanoid robot replica.
21:11Hang on, are you trying to put yourself into one of these?
21:14Ugh.
21:17Oh, look.
21:19Weird.
21:19So this is why you bankrupted Gene Jevity? For some robots?
21:23I regret the steps I had to take to get here.
21:26It's taken more time and resources than I planned.
21:29But my depth of knowledge has the potential to help millions of people.
21:32It would be a waste if it died with me. Now it never will.
21:35What does that mean?
21:37Every email, text, video, and book I've ever read or written was uploaded into this form.
21:43Hang on, are you saying that everything that Gabe knew, you know?
21:46Yes.
21:48Okay.
21:50Um, first question. Who killed you?
21:53I can't answer that.
21:54Shoot.
21:57I can't believe we're doing this.
22:01Okay.
22:02Other than the, uh, users and investors you've defrauded, did Gabe have any enemies?
22:07I've received a few death threats over the years. None I found serious.
22:11May 2011, December 2015, March 2020, August 2024.
22:15I also received other less directly threatening messages.
22:20I've dropped a list to your phones.
22:23Really?
22:24Huh.
22:25Well, look at those.
22:27Meantime, your routine the day you were killed, was there anything unusual about it?
22:30I assume I followed my normal routine.
22:32Awake at 7, self-care protocols, gene-gevity work, meditation at 9 p.m., then in bed right after.
22:39Well, did you ever go to bed in your meditation room?
22:41No.
22:42A strict sleep routine is essential.
22:44That's why the house is set to go into do not disturb mode promptly at 10.15.
22:4810.15?
22:49No.
22:49The panel at your house said do not disturb went on at 9 p.m.
22:52Why would it be any different on the day you were killed?
22:54My operating system is connected to my home's monitoring system.
22:57Let me check.
23:00My password was used to adjust the do not disturb at 9.05.
23:04So Gabe did change the settings?
23:05No.
23:06It wasn't me.
23:07I was in the house.
23:08So are you saying someone accessed the panel remotely?
23:11Who?
23:11Let me...
23:12Let me...
23:23Jesse, Gabe died...
23:27You're telling me there are no headstone companies closer to Los Angeles than Italy?
23:32I get...
23:33I get that's what she ordered but I...
23:36You know what?
23:37How about I stop by your funeral home after my shift as a police detective, and then we have
23:42a chat?
23:44No, it's not a threat.
23:45Just a conversation. We'll clear this up face-to-face.
23:47Detective Osdill, a word, please.
23:57I'm sorry, Lieutenant. I should have stepped out to take that call. Won't happen again.
24:00You're not in trouble, Oz.
24:08I'm worried about you. What's going on?
24:14Okay, um...
24:16The $20,000 headstone my mother bought for my dad is stuck in a shipping container in Genoa,
24:23racking up export fees she can't pay because the insurance money is gone.
24:29$20,000.
24:30I don't know what she was thinking.
24:32She probably wasn't thinking.
24:34Not clearly, anyway. It sounds like the funeral home took advantage of her and she was upsold.
24:39It's disgusting.
24:41But unfortunately, Common, it's not her fault.
24:44It's my fault.
24:46I wasn't there.
24:49My dad, he was always there for us.
24:54After he died, I should have stepped up like he always did, but I just...
24:59My mom had to handle everything.
25:01The paperwork, the funeral, the hospital, all of it alone.
25:06What kind of son lets that happen?
25:09A grieving one.
25:11When my mom passed, I was lost.
25:13I was suddenly the matriarch of my big, complicated family.
25:16It was a lot.
25:19And the one person I always counted on to get me through when life got tough was the one that
25:25was gone.
25:27How do you get through it?
25:32Same way you will.
25:34With time.
25:37But healing only happens when you stop inflicting yourself with new wounds.
25:42Yeah.
25:47Thanks, Lieutenant.
26:18So, the robot gave you the lead.
26:19Being rebooted.
26:20Only a few people have the skill to do that remotely.
26:22Whoever overrode the bot's securities could have done the same with Gabe's home network.
26:26Okay.
26:26I'll bring Micah in and see what he knows.
26:33I've advised my client not to speak.
26:36All questions are to be directed to me.
26:39Wonderful.
26:40Your client owned a company, Chatterbell, that was sold eight months ago to Gabe Rafferty.
26:43Is that correct?
26:44Yes.
26:45Chatterbell specialized in a language learning software for companion experiences.
26:50In other words, AI virtual girlfriends.
26:54That is so reductive.
26:56I provided a cutting edge invaluable service.
26:58Micah.
27:03Gabe bought Chatterbell from me for a hefty price tag.
27:06But then you started harassing him to sell you the company back.
27:09This is a business matter.
27:11Why is major crime so interesting?
27:13Gabe Rafferty was recently murdered in his secure home.
27:17Your client had the motive and ability to spoof Gabe's password and enter his house.
27:21That's ridiculous.
27:22Micah's a genius.
27:23He would never throw his life away over something as trivial as one startup.
27:27You didn't think it was trivial, did you?
27:29Chatterbell was important to you.
27:30You weren't a back to right or wrong.
27:32It was my company.
27:33Micah.
27:33Chatterbell was everything to me.
27:35Gabe said he let me come work for him so I could still be a part of it.
27:38Then instead he pushed you out.
27:39After he made me sign a non-compete clause.
27:43Five years.
27:44As a death sentence in this industry.
27:48I brought that stupid bot to life.
27:50And you had every right to take it out.
27:52What about human Gabe?
27:54You take him out too?
28:02According to Gabe 2's record, someone accessed the panel at 9pm.
28:09Why are these plants dying?
28:11Gabe's got plants all over the house.
28:13They're as healthy as he is.
28:14What's going on with these?
28:23What'd you do?
28:25Not sure, honestly.
28:27But I think whoever was messing with the do not disturb mode also set it to lock this door.
28:32So somebody wanted to lock Gabe in here?
28:34Why?
28:34Maybe they stabbed him.
28:35Wanted him to bleed out without any chance of getting help.
28:42Did the Emmy email you the report?
28:45Yeah.
28:45What do you need to know?
28:47Did it say anything about his nasal passages?
28:49Nasal passages showed signs of inflammation.
28:52His throat too?
28:52Emmy seems to think it might have been a reaction to the steroidal nasal spray he used.
28:57No, it was a reaction to something else.
28:59An intruder didn't stab Gabe.
29:01Gabe stabbed himself.
29:03Why would he do that?
29:04Because he preferred it to the alternative.
29:07Dead bugs, scorched plants.
29:10I think I know what happened.
29:11Someone rigged this room to fill with toxic gas and locked Gabe in here with it.
29:16He tried to get out but there was no escape.
29:19The symptoms of it must have been excruciating if Gabe was willing to choose killing himself over his dreams of
29:24immortality.
29:33You think the gas was set to go off when the Do Not Disturb was triggered.
29:36And we just triggered it again.
29:49Thanks, Selena.
29:51Soto's sending a team over here to get us out.
29:53They'll be here soon.
29:54How soon?
29:55As quickly as possible.
29:56Well, that's not fast enough.
29:58We don't even know where this gas is coming from.
30:00It could be coming from here or it could be from any of these things.
30:03The vents or there could be like a hidden pipe that we don't know about or it could be coming
30:09up through the floor.
30:09I hear you, but still it doesn't make any sense to panic.
30:11It's not panic.
30:12I'm not panicking.
30:13That's just math.
30:14It's a 10 by 10 room.
30:15We've got oxygen plus carbon dioxide times two people breathing it plus whatever gas this is.
30:19That doesn't add up to much time is all I'm saying, okay?
30:21If I knew what the gas was, I could come up with a plan, but we don't know that.
30:25But what we do know is that a person who wanted to live forever chose to end his own life
30:29rather than suffer whatever this gas was going to do to him.
30:32So what exactly does that do for us?
30:34Morgan.
30:35I just need...
30:36Morgan.
30:36Leave me alone for a second.
30:37Please leave me alone for a second.
30:38I got to think.
30:39I just...
30:39I just...
30:40I need to think.
30:41How do we get out of here?
30:48Morgan, you have to slow down.
30:49Just take a breath.
30:50A breath?
30:51Taking a breath is not what we should be doing right now.
30:53How are you so calm?
30:55Because panicking doesn't help.
30:57Okay.
30:58Well, neither does this standing there.
30:59I got to...
31:00I got to do the 5, 4, 3, 2, 1 thing.
31:01I need five things I can see.
31:03I didn't see.
31:04Uh, a salt lamp in a bowl and matches a dead, dying plant.
31:10How many was that?
31:11Morgan.
31:12Four.
31:12Stop.
31:12I got to ground.
31:13Four things I can...
31:14I can touch.
31:15I touch the floor.
31:17I don't know if the floor counts as one.
31:18What is the name of that stool?
31:20That stool has a name.
31:21You know who'd know the name of that stool?
31:22Stuff like this.
31:23Elliot would know the name of that really.
31:25He loves stuff like this.
31:26And he's such a smart, smart boy.
31:28But he's not going to be able to understand this.
31:30I...
31:30Oh, God.
31:31Ava already had one parent leave her.
31:33I can't leave her.
31:34You're not going to leave her.
31:35Stop.
31:35Three things I hear.
31:37Three things I hear.
31:39I can't smell anything.
31:40Chloe is just a baby.
31:41You don't understand.
31:42She needs her mom.
31:44She's a baby.
31:45You're not going to be leaving.
31:46I can't breathe.
31:49Adam, I can't breathe.
31:51Just don't, Layla.
31:51You can't breathe.
31:52Please don't.
31:53It's okay.
31:54It's okay.
31:54It's not okay.
31:56Are you right here?
31:57Morgan, it's going to be okay.
31:58I've got you.
32:00I'm not going anywhere.
32:02It's okay.
32:04I'm not going to let you go.
32:06I've got you.
32:09Okay, Morgan.
32:12I'm not letting you go.
32:17It's okay.
32:22It's okay.
32:27You're okay.
32:29Neil.
32:32You're okay.
32:36You're okay.
32:38I see.
32:48Selina.
32:49Yeah.
32:50Yeah, the door is open.
32:51We're fine.
32:53Okay.
32:54All right, I will.
32:55Soto got Micah to, uh, access the doors remotely.
32:58Mirror neurons.
33:00What?
33:01It's, uh, it's just an unconscious, um, empathetic brain response.
33:06It's like a yawn.
33:07You're, you're breathing and your heart rate were calm, so they calmed mine down, so, thank you.
33:14So, um, you're good?
33:17Yeah, I'm good.
33:18Let's get back to work.
33:20Okay, so, we didn't drop dead.
33:23That's exciting.
33:25Maybe the gas needed more time to fill up the room.
33:30Or maybe the door locking isn't what triggered it.
33:35I checked Gabe's bio data through the Gentility app.
33:38No forced entry.
33:40Housekeeper said the alarm was still set when she got here.
33:44You're right.
33:47Gabe triggered it.
33:49But he was set up.
33:51I know who did it.
33:58Thanks for coming in.
34:00Anything I can do for Gabe.
34:02Sweet.
34:03That's not anything new, though, is it?
34:05You've been helping Gabe out for about eight years.
34:08Well, I like to think we were helping each other.
34:10I mean, Gabe was such an amazing person.
34:12That would be much easier to believe if you weren't the one that killed him.
34:16I have no idea what you're talking about.
34:17I wasn't even in L.A. when Gabe was killed.
34:20You didn't need to be.
34:21The M.E. confirmed that there were traces of arsenic in Gabe's airways.
34:24He inhaled it before he died.
34:26Which is an odd way to get arsenic into your body.
34:29Arsenic was once referred to as inheritance powder because of its use in getting rid of unwanted family members.
34:35Then for a while, copper arsenite became the dye of choice for those looking to up their fashion game.
34:40They called it Shields Green.
34:42Especially once incandescent light bulbs showed up.
34:44People really wanted their dresses to pop.
34:47That didn't work out so well.
34:48But clothes weren't the only thing people used to dye in.
34:51It snuck into candy, wallpaper, and for a while, candles.
34:56The trouble was, burning the candles released arsenic gas into the air.
34:59But you already knew that, didn't you?
35:01Your study of 19th century arts and textiles taught you all about it.
35:05The candles provided the perfect cover.
35:07When Gabe lit them and released the gas, you were at your sister's wedding on Catalina.
35:11And that timing was very poetic, wasn't it?
35:14Because your sister is part of the reason you wanted Gabe dead.
35:17I don't understand any of this.
35:19Yeah, you do.
35:20You see this scar?
35:22That's a port scar from chemotherapy.
35:25Your sister is undergoing cancer treatment.
35:27She has breast cancer.
35:29The same cancer that took your mother.
35:31The same cancer you're worried about getting.
35:33Gene Jevity was researching the BRCA genes that you and your family carry.
35:37Or they were, until Gabe started embezzling funds and they had to shut down the program.
35:41Gabe betrayed you.
35:42And you returned the favor.
35:44Mike has already confessed.
35:46He said he's the one that told you about the bots.
35:49He came by Gabe's house looking to get his company back and you two hatched a plan.
35:53He had the skills to clone Gabe's passwords.
35:55All he needed to know from you was when to remotely deploy the Do Not Disturb.
35:59And since Gabe follows a strict routine, it really wasn't a difficult ask.
36:03You waited until you had an alibi.
36:05And swapped out Gabe's regular meditation candles for the ones with the green dye.
36:09Knowing his housekeeper changes them daily.
36:11And Gabe took care of the rest.
36:17I was upset when I found out Gene Jevity had shut down the BRCA research.
36:22But when Micah told me what Gabe was actually spending the money on, I was livid.
36:29A robot of himself.
36:32I mean, I couldn't believe it.
36:35I confronted him about it and you know what he said?
36:39Sacrifices have to be made.
36:41My sister and I aren't sacrifices that he gets to make.
36:45He was stealing our future.
36:47So you decided that Gabe shouldn't have a future either.
36:49Maybe with Gabe and his bot out of the way, Gene Jevity can get back on track.
36:53We can start their research again and give people like me and my sister a fighting chance.
37:01Gabe deserved to die.
37:21You know, I never thought of you as the sentimental type.
37:27I am so surprised you kept this.
37:29Well, why?
37:31It was a gift, right?
37:34Do you remember what you said when I gave it to you?
37:39No.
37:40Nothing.
37:43You just stared at it for the longest time.
37:48And then when you finally looked up at me, you had this expression on your face like
37:54you weren't really sure it was for you.
38:02I didn't think I deserved it.
38:05Or you.
38:08And now?
38:13Lucia, honestly, I don't know.
38:16I hope I've changed enough to be who you need, but...
38:19Adam, you were always who I needed.
38:23I wasn't the one who needed to be convinced of that.
38:26You broke my heart when you called off our engagement.
38:32But I think you broke yours, too.
38:41I don't want to hurt you again.
38:47I don't.
39:01It's perfect.
39:04Dad would have been proud.
39:08It's all in it.
39:15The rumor is she pulled some strings.
39:19Funeral home just happens to be on my way home from work.
39:22And in violation of the FTC rules against predatory price gouging.
39:27That could cost them their license.
39:29Yeah, it could.
39:30But they generously offered Mrs. Osdill a full refund and they gave her the headstone she actually wanted.
39:38Well, thank you all for being here.
39:42Not all of you met my dad.
39:45But I can tell you he would have loved you.
39:49Talked your ear off.
39:51Had us all laugh until the sun came up.
39:56He used to tell me that all of this doesn't last forever.
40:04And that's the point.
40:06It takes loss to really know what you have.
40:10Family.
40:12Friends.
40:16Friends become family.
40:22You gotta hold them all just a little tighter.
40:27Life is beautiful because it's brief.
40:31And death.
40:35It's just the beginning of something new.
40:37I'm the orange and a batch of roses on the thorn.
40:43I'm the neon in the night.
40:49I'm sticking out like a sword.
40:53Here in the company of no...
40:55It's a nice service.
40:57Yeah, it was.
40:58It's good that we could be here for us.
41:02Hey.
41:04You, uh...
41:06Have a good day, partner.
41:08That was really weird.
41:10Yeah, well, it's weird.
41:11I feel weird.
41:14I'm horrified about what happened at Gabe's.
41:16I just completely fell apart.
41:18And it's not something I typically love doing in front of other people.
41:21Well, I'm not other people.
41:22I'm your partner.
41:22Yeah, that's worse.
41:24You should be able to count on me when we're in trouble.
41:26I just was a giant, useless mess.
41:28Are you really apologizing for being human, Morgan?
41:30Come on.
41:31We're a team.
41:32We count on each other.
41:33You would have done the same for me.
41:34When?
41:35In what world is Adam Karadek falling apart on the job?
41:38Well, just because it hasn't happened yet doesn't mean that it won't.
41:41And when that time comes, I know that out of all the people in my life,
41:44you will know exactly what to do.
41:55Thanks.
41:59Do you need me to punch that other shoulder to just even you out?
42:03I need you to get out of here before your car breaks down again.
42:53I need you to punch that other shoulder to just even you out.
42:55Soapaster!
42:58Ha!
