00:10Don't you want to go down the slide? It's so fun!
00:13Someone's waiting, sweets. You can do it.
00:15Come on, go down the slide.
00:18Wee!
00:20Margo?
00:25Margo?
00:26Erica?
00:27Hold on, I'm coming.
00:29Help!
00:32Oh my God!
00:44Her name is Tara Foley. She was also a nanny.
00:47But we really didn't know her that well.
00:48Do you know of anyone who would have wanted to hurt her?
00:50I can't imagine. She was so nice.
00:53Milo, we don't need grass. Have some seaweed.
00:55Well, there was that creepy guy.
00:58What creepy guy?
00:59Some weird guy who had been hanging around the park.
01:06As a mom, it's my job to anticipate all the ways somebody could die at a playground, but stuck in
01:11a slide? I missed that one.
01:13Morning, all.
01:15Morning.
01:15Morning.
01:16So, Dr. Farzan, what have you got?
01:19Well, it looks like the victim died of an epidural hematoma due to a blow to the head by a
01:23heavy object.
01:24She was attacked in the slide?
01:25I don't think so.
01:27Judging from the shape of the slide, the location of the wound, it's my belief that the victim was struck
01:31elsewhere and tried to escape her assailant.
01:35She was hiding, Lieutenant.
01:37Time of death?
01:38Around 10 PM.
01:39There doesn't seem to be any CCTV here. I'll have Lynn check. Any guess as to the murder weapon?
01:45It's hard to say. We'll test the wound for particulate matter, but an injury like this could have come from
01:49any number of things if it was swung hard enough.
01:51I'll have forensics to a wide sweep.
01:54They're gonna have a hell of a time. There's no place more laden with bodily fluids than a playground during
01:58flu season.
01:59Got a lead. The victim's name is Tara Foley. According to Tara's fellow nannies, a suspicious man who seemed particularly
02:06interested in Tara was seen hanging around the park.
02:09Any one of them manage to take a photo of this person?
02:11Unfortunately, no.
02:13Okay, that dinging's gotta stop.
02:16Morgan.
02:17What? I'm detecting.
02:21See? Eight unread messages from someone named Brett Lewis.
02:26Tara, Tara, you're late. Where are you? Tara, answer me now. Ooh, the last one's a voice memo.
02:32Tara, you're now an hour and a half late. You better have an airtight excuse because this is unacceptable.
02:39That would appear to be your employer, may I?
02:43Tara.
02:43No emergency contact listed. No one listed his mom or dad either.
02:47What? God!
02:49It just keeps getting sadder, this poor girl. All alone in the world? Spent her last few minutes terrified for
02:54her life?
02:55You can tell by her ballet flats that she was nice.
02:58Okay, we have to find that man who's been hanging around the park. Daphne, Oz, go through Tara's phone. See
03:03if you can find any picture she may have taken of him. And look for next of kin. Boyfriend, girlfriend,
03:08anyone who can tell us more about Tara in her life.
03:10And Morgan Karadek may not be able to talk to family, but let's at least start by talking to the
03:15one person she worked for every day. Find out what he has to say for himself.
03:18You got it, boss.
03:21What murderer leaves someone an angry message after killing them?
03:26The smart one.
03:29Adam Karadek, LAPD. I'm afraid I've got some bad news for you.
03:35Poor Tara. This is such a shock.
03:38So how long had Tara been Ward's nanny?
03:41About four months. In that time, she'd become part of the family.
03:44You know, Brett, you seem pretty angry in your messages. I mean, did you have a strained relationship with Tara?
03:50No. Not at all. I'm just a stickler for being on time. I wouldn't have yelled at her had I
03:56known.
03:57Can you tell us about Tara? What was she like?
03:59Oof. Um, Tara was a sweet girl. You know, she was quiet and loving and liked reading historical fiction and
04:09watching TikToks of dance protégés.
04:13Sorry, just trying to give you everything I know. Outside of working for us, she lived a relatively solitary life.
04:21That would explain the lack of an emergency contact in her phone. Had Tara mentioned anything out of the ordinary
04:26to you recently?
04:27No, nothing I can think of.
04:30Wait, there was that guy that kept following her.
04:34Tara complained that she kept seeing the same guy. He'd show up wherever she was. Park, coffee shop.
04:39He was often reading a French magazine or newspaper. And he had a limp.
04:49I know where to find this guy. There's only one newsstand that sells French newspapers in LA and it's across
04:55the street from a perfect stakeout location.
04:58Oh, you really love this diner, huh?
05:00Oh, my God. It was so good. You gotta take a bite.
05:04Eat from the other side. I didn't touch, sir.
05:06Morgan, we're on a stakeout. A key to a good stakeout is being discreet.
05:10I'm worried I'm gonna pull a Meg Ryan and fake an orgasm or something?
05:13That would attract way too much attention.
05:15Oh, I can fake yours, though. Watch.
05:20Impression over.
05:22That's, uh, hilarious.
05:24That's our guy.
05:26Really?
05:27Yeah, yeah. It looks like he's headed this way.
05:29In here?
05:29Yeah.
05:34Where did he go?
05:46Okay, he went up there. You stay here.
05:48Okay.
05:50Okay.
06:10Hey, Morgan. It's safe to...
06:12Well, I can tell by your confident footsteps that the coast was clear.
06:16Well, it turns out that our stalker is actually a PI.
06:19Oh.
06:20Charles Lebois, a.k.a. Chuck the Canuck.
06:23Former LAPD, used to be a detective in the traffic department.
06:26Just a warning. The guy has a lot.
06:29Okay.
06:32I apologize about the pastrami smell. You'll get used to it.
06:35Hey, Chuck.
06:39Adam Karadik.
06:42I'll be damned.
06:45And you got married.
06:46No.
06:47Morgan Guillory. We worked together.
06:49Huh.
06:50Anyway, uh, Karadik and I came up together as detectives.
06:53You know, we were always neck and neck.
06:54Is that right?
06:56Until I was forced to retire early, so...
06:59Well, Chuck was shot in the line of duty.
07:01Oh, my God. Yeah.
07:02Yeah.
07:02What happened?
07:03Uh, my firearm did discharge itself whilst in its holster
07:06during a routine traffic stop, causing my metatarsal to shatter.
07:10You shot yourself in the foot.
07:11I shot myself in the foot.
07:13Okay. Hey, can I take a look at this newspaper?
07:15Yeah, sure.
07:19Le Devoir from Quebec.
07:22This is the French newspaper that Tara saw her stalker reading.
07:25What's this all about?
07:26What do you know about Tara Foley?
07:27Everything.
07:28Did you know she was murdered?
07:29Almost everything.
07:30I had no idea.
07:31Poor girl.
07:33Who hired you to follow her?
07:34I placed a high priority on client confidentiality,
07:37but an even higher one on friendship.
07:39I was hired by the Lewis's.
07:41Her employers?
07:42Ward's parents.
07:44It was getting messy.
07:45They wanted to know if I saw anything out of the ordinary,
07:47but I found bupkis.
07:49Did you take any pictures?
07:51Tons.
07:54I shoot raw, my man.
07:57That's my favorite part of the job.
07:58Do me a favor, Chuck.
07:59Bring these photos down to the station tomorrow.
08:01Yeah, happy to.
08:03Tara, Dick.
08:03Nice to meet you.
08:04You, too.
08:05Poor girl.
08:07Why did you stop following Tara?
08:09I was canned.
08:10The client wasn't happy with the results,
08:12which is what they always say
08:12when they don't get what they were hoping to find.
08:15What were they hoping to find?
08:17They thought the nanny was mistreating their son.
08:33Oh.
08:34I didn't expect to see you again.
08:36We didn't expect to be back.
08:39You think we hired a private investigator to follow Tara?
08:44I'm sorry, but we most certainly did not.
08:47Well, we might have.
08:49What?
08:50Brett, why did you hire a PI to follow Tara?
08:52I was a nervous wreck ever since the ordeal we went through with our last nanny Rosa.
08:58What happened with Rosa?
08:59I'm a member of the 90049 Parents Facebook group.
09:03That's the Brentwood zip code.
09:05Six months ago, I see a post from a concerned mother
09:07describing a horrific event at the library
09:10where an unattended child wandered out of the library and almost into the street.
09:16When I read the description of the child, I realized it was Ward.
09:20It was terrifying.
09:21That is a nightmare.
09:22What'd you do?
09:23We asked Rosa about it, and she ultimately admitted it.
09:26We had no choice but to let her go.
09:28But what does this have to do with Tara?
09:29We hired Tara, and everything was going great.
09:32Ward loved her.
09:33But then we see another post in the Parents group, this time about Tara.
09:38And this time from several mothers all saying that Tara was endangering Ward.
09:43We debated whether to believe it.
09:45The post about Rosa was true.
09:46But we talked to both Ward and Tara and determined that the accusations against Tara had to be made up.
09:53Ward lit up around Tara in a way that he never did with Rosa.
09:55And Tara seemed to be taking excellent care of Ward.
09:59I couldn't let it go.
10:01I'm sorry.
10:02What did this PI even find?
10:04Nothing.
10:07Can we see these negative posts about Tara, please?
10:09Sure.
10:09I took screen grabs of everything.
10:11Here you go.
10:17This Karina gal seems to be all up in your business.
10:20No, well, Karina is the one who alerted us to Rosa's misconduct.
10:24Yeah, and then it looks like she turns on Tara.
10:26Did you reach out to Karina?
10:27I messaged her, but she said she didn't have any more information.
10:33If you'll excuse me, I gotta stand up.
10:35These pants only have about a ten-minute sitting time limit before they become a permanent part of my body.
10:41So, Jeff, you were totally confident in Tara's care of Ward.
10:44No, completely. She was wonderful.
10:46Where did you even find this guy?
10:48The internet.
10:50I can't believe you even hired a PI.
10:52Well, my guess is he wanted eyes and ears on the outside, since you guys are all covered on nanny
10:57cams in here.
10:58What? Nanny cams?
11:01I used to rely on a very kind but very senior gentleman to watch my kids, and I wanted to
11:06make sure that he wasn't literally falling asleep on the job.
11:09So I looked into my surveillance options.
11:11You've got the nanny cam clock, tissue box, picture frame, energy drink, which I found confusing.
11:18Uh, the nanny cam fake toolbox. Ultimately, I couldn't afford any of them.
11:23But I'm finding that Brett went with the plant, globe, and the adorable spy robot.
11:32There's a nanny cam in the North Pole? We're gonna need that footage.
11:36Where were you two last night?
11:38We were here all night.
11:39Can anyone corroborate that?
11:41We were on a video call.
11:42With who?
11:43Lamar Nichols, our couples counselor.
11:46All right. We'll be in touch.
11:51Well, I'll have Daphne look up Karina's address, track down the other parents who posted about Tara.
11:56We need to get to the bottom of this 90049 parents Facebook group.
12:00Yep.
12:04You know why most foods are cooked at 350?
12:07The Maillard reaction. A chemical process by which the sugars are browned and produce pleasing flavors.
12:12But I think the sweet potato fries call for 425.
12:19Oh, crap.
12:21You're right.
12:26Ah! They rejected me!
12:29I'm trying to infiltrate a private online parenting group so I can chat up some people who are bullying or
12:35victim.
12:35But it seems like they sniffed around and figured out that we don't exactly live within the city limits of
12:40Brentwood.
12:41We don't even live close enough to have the same weather as Brentwood.
12:44Oh, by the way, my classmate Finn is having an 11th birthday party soon, so I'll need a gift.
12:49Awesome. What do you want to get him?
12:52Ava, what's a good gift for a boy's 11th birthday?
12:56Ava, do you have any ideas?
12:58Hey, phone face.
13:00Hi, your brother's talking to you.
13:03I don't know. Elliot's the only fifth grader here.
13:07Hey, I was super into Legos when I was 11.
13:09My favorite was a Toy Story 2 set because I had a big crush on Jessie.
13:13You did? I could totally see it.
13:16With her cute pigtails and your eyes just popped out of your head and your jaw dropped to the floor.
13:21Hey, hey, she seemed nice.
13:22Why don't you go grab your tablet and you can pick out a set?
13:25Okay. Text me again.
13:27Okay.
13:32That's you when you first saw Jessie.
13:34Did you change your text tones to say Awuga?
13:36Only for the text from you.
13:38I can't believe you.
13:40Me neither.
13:44Hey, you want to go through Tara's phone?
13:47That's all you.
13:47Oh, yeah. This place still smells like cheap floor wax and mascara urine from the suckers we put away.
13:57You must be Chuck.
13:59Ah, you got me.
14:00Did you bring the photos for the Foley case?
14:02Indeed I did.
14:03Yep, all 1,500 of them.
14:06Yeah, Karadek wanted me to walk you through them.
14:09You know, identify all the key players.
14:10But first, I need a chair with solid lumbar support.
14:15There she is.
14:16I slipped a disc between my L2 and L3.
14:19You know what?
14:20I gotta tear his phone.
14:22Let me tear it up with Chuck.
14:26Kate!
14:30Seems like you have some personal photos mixed in here.
14:32All my photos are personal.
14:35You want any of these online parenting groups?
14:38Absolutely not.
14:40Don't need some self-righteous mom telling me I don't love my kids if I don't cut their cucumbers on
14:44the little smiley faces before I cram them in their lunchbox.
14:47Yeah, I would never take you as the type to anthropomorphize vegetables.
14:50That is the kindest thing you've ever said to me.
14:53Warning from a concerned mom.
14:55Ward's new nanny Tara is cruel and neglectful.
14:58Last Tuesday she grabbed his arm so hard he screamed.
15:00Then Thursday she yelled at him to stop crying and left him stuck on the top of the play structure.
15:04Mm-hmm, I didn't write that.
15:07It sure seems like you did and a bunch of other ones just like it.
15:11I mean, why don't you take a second look?
15:15Didn't write it.
15:16Didn't write it.
15:18That's pretty good, but I didn't write it.
15:20Didn't...
15:20No, you know, I did write this one.
15:21Uh, which one?
15:23At the library on Wednesday afternoon, a dark-headed boy wearing galoshes and a conductor hat was unattended for 15
15:28minutes, crying and calling for a Rosa.
15:30He ran out the front door and would have gone into traffic had it not been for a quick library
15:35staff member.
15:36Finally, Rosa showed up with no excuse.
15:38If this is your nanny, she is dangerous.
15:41Exclamation point.
15:42Okay.
15:43So, you got Rosa fired?
15:45No, I didn't get her fired.
15:46I reported an issue.
15:48In my line of work, safety is paramount.
15:50I'm a VP of a commercial real estate firm.
15:53It's very demanding.
15:55Usually childcare falls to my husband, Mark, but I had the day off so I was able to take our
16:00daughter to the library.
16:01Now, I don't know all the kids and the nannies like my husband does because I'm not around during the
16:06day.
16:07So, I had to post on Facebook to let the parents know what had happened.
16:10My point is, is that I tried to do the right thing and it bit me in the ass.
16:14Well, how so?
16:15Well, after I wrote that post, I was eviscerated in private messages saying I ruined a woman's career.
16:20Said I needed to check my privilege.
16:22It was, it was ridiculous.
16:24Yeah, they wouldn't be saying that if it was their kid.
16:26Exactly.
16:27Okay.
16:27So, I just said screw this and deactivated my account.
16:31Where were you two nights ago?
16:32I was working very late.
16:34I have a big, big presentation coming up.
16:37Look, I'm sorry that this nanny Tara is dead, but I didn't know her.
16:43Well, the initial search of Tara's apartment didn't turn up anything of note, but I want
16:47to go back again now that we know more about our suspects.
16:49Hopefully, we'll find some answers.
16:53Talk to me, Daph.
16:55Tara has someone saved in her phone as little sketchy.
16:58The texts are intense.
17:00I'm sending them to you now.
17:01I think we might have an actual stalker on their hands.
17:03Any luck tracking down the other people who wrote negative posts about Tara?
17:06Still working on it.
17:08Thanks, Daph.
17:08Bye.
17:10Okay, here we go.
17:12Little sketchy, my forever love, why do you forsake me?
17:15My heart knows not its beat if it can't echo that of yours.
17:19Little sketchy, if I don't see you soon, I don't know what I'll do.
17:23That was three days ago.
17:25She never wrote back.
17:36Huh, Tara's apartment.
17:38Seems pretty neat.
17:40Still feel kind of weird about you parking in her spot.
17:43Hmm.
17:44All right.
17:45Let's do this methodically.
17:47I'll start with Tara's desk, and you start by making a huge mess.
17:55Look at this.
17:56Tara was religious.
17:58Drawer dump already paying off.
18:01Yeah, we got overdue bills.
18:03Notice of a rent increase.
18:05Tara may have had money trouble.
18:08Hmm.
18:10This is interesting.
18:12She knew Karina was harassing her online.
18:14Well, she may have feared for her life she kept pepper spray on her nightstand.
18:19Well, we got a lawyer's number here.
18:26Kahlil Phillips and Strauss.
18:28Hi.
18:28Um, I was wondering if you could tell me if Tara Foley is a client?
18:32I'm afraid we can't divulge client information.
18:35Right.
18:35Uh, well, who might I speak to regarding a stalker?
18:38I'm sorry, sir.
18:39We're an immigration law firm.
18:41Oh.
18:42Um, thank you.
18:43You're welcome.
18:45Huh.
18:46Now that's strange.
18:50Oh.
18:50Morgan?
18:51Look at this.
18:53Hmm.
18:55The night she was murdered, she was planning on going to church.
18:57Yeah.
18:57I'll have Alfie find out if anyone saw her there.
19:00Still nothing that points to Brad or Karina or gives us an idea of who little Sketchy was.
19:05Ew.
19:08Morgan.
19:10Don't.
19:10By all means.
19:11Let me parse through the trash piece by piece, like a lady.
19:17And at a certain point, just treat yourself to the full-size bar.
19:23Bingo.
19:24Sunday night poetry slam.
19:27Based on little Sketchy's overly wrought rhyme scheme, I bet we could find the guy here.
19:31And today just happens to be...
19:33Sunday Funday.
19:37Where is Ava?
19:39She's ten minutes late.
19:43Oh.
19:44Forgot to tell you, our prime delivery came with Finn's birthday present in it.
19:49Just ordered it yesterday.
19:50It's already here.
19:52Actually, I don't need it after all.
19:55Turns out I'm the only kid in class Finn didn't invite.
19:58What?
19:59That's gotta be a mistake.
20:00It's not.
20:02I promise.
20:05Well, this sucks.
20:07Hey.
20:08I still think it's just a mistake.
20:09But if it's not, you're keeping that present because you're a wonderful kid and you deserve it.
20:16There you are.
20:17Where have you been?
20:18I gotta go to work.
20:20Can you put that down please?
20:21You have actual people in the room.
20:23I'm just being polite and thanking Ryder for dropping me off.
20:26Ryder drives?
20:27Most 26-year-olds do.
20:29Uh-huh.
20:30Not funny.
20:31Not the night and not funny.
20:33Because if I couldn't be in a worse mood, I gotta go to a poetry reading.
20:37Tara, oh Tara, you're gone with the wind.
20:43I am left heartbroken, beaten, and chagrined.
20:47Goodbye, Terrasaurus.
20:50Who's sore?
20:52Us.
20:53Who's dead?
20:55You.
21:04Excuse me.
21:05Um, we need to talk.
21:07Uh, I'm Detective Karadek.
21:09This is Consultant Guillory with the LAPD.
21:11We're looking into the murder of Tara Foley.
21:13Good.
21:15I know who killed her.
21:29Brian Schlotzky is on his way in for questioning.
21:31You know, I can't stress enough the importance of hand-to-hand combat training in our line of work.
21:35I could show you a few moves.
21:37I can't believe you brought Chuck the Canuck back to our precinct.
21:40No, you gotta admit, it's fun to watch us squirm.
21:43Daphne, any luck finding the other people who posted about Tara on that 90049 parents group?
21:48Still looking. It's a needle in a haystack.
21:51There are so many moms named Megan out there.
21:53I-I think we might have someone else to consider.
21:55Mark, Karina's husband.
21:59Mark's in a lot of these photos.
22:01He and Tara seem cozy.
22:02And in this one, he's wielding a bat.
22:05That could cause a hematoma.
22:07Can you go back one?
22:10Tara's wearing Mark's sweatshirt.
22:12Well, how do you know?
22:13It's got the old Supersonics logo on it.
22:16Supersonics. Fast food joint.
22:17No. Former NBA team based in Seattle.
22:20In 2008, they moved to Oklahoma and played under a different sound-themed name, the Thunder.
22:24I think Mark was from Seattle.
22:27On their mantle, I saw a family photo of them standing at the Space Needle.
22:30In the distance, you could see Mount Rainier, and in the foreground were the arches of Lumen Field.
22:34Daphne, pay Mark a visit.
22:35Find out what the real nature of his relationship was with Tara.
22:39Got it.
22:39Asking for these for me.
22:41Yeah.
22:43Well, and it would appear that little Sketchy has arrived for his interview.
22:49Ooh.
22:51Oh, give me one sec. Real quick.
22:53Hello.
22:54Hi, this is Jean-Anne. Finn's mom returning your call.
22:57Oh, hi, Jean-Anne. Hey, listen, I think there's been a misunderstanding.
23:01See, my son Elliot believes he's the only kid not invited to your son's birthday party.
23:06Oh, Finn made the guest list. It's a small group, and he and Elliot don't know each other that well.
23:10Oh, well, that's an easy fix. Why doesn't he come over tomorrow for a play date?
23:13Tomorrow? I guess that could work.
23:15Perfect. We'll see Finn then. Great. Bye.
23:18Motherhood has made me so understanding.
23:21How did you know Tara?
23:23Tara was my babysitter.
23:25Where were you the night Tara died?
23:27I was outside her apartment complex, blasting a love song through a speaker.
23:31Can anyone confirm that?
23:33Uh, several of the tenants were quite frustrated with my act of devotion.
23:38At the poetry reading, you said you knew who killed Tara.
23:43It was Mark. A dad at the playground.
23:47He started horning in and made Tara cut me out of her life.
23:50But Tara would never be with a married man.
23:54So he killed her.
24:04Hi, Mark. Daphne Forrester, LAPD.
24:08Is there news about Tara?
24:09Not exactly.
24:12Can you tell me why Tara was wearing your sweatshirt in this photo?
24:16I guess she was cold.
24:19Looks like you two were pretty close.
24:20We were.
24:22Ward and my daughter Ruby were playground friends, so I got to know her pretty well.
24:26You know, she didn't have any family, so I was there for her, gave her advice when I could.
24:32Was it more than friendship for you?
24:35What? No.
24:37No.
24:38I love my wife. I'm devoted to her.
24:41Tara was a friend.
24:43Okay, where were you the night Tara died?
24:45Here. Hosting book club.
24:48We were reading Liz Gilbert's Big Magic.
24:50Wait, actually, you know what?
24:51You can ask anyone in my book club.
24:55We're called the Lou Reads, except re-ed is spelled.
24:58I can guess.
25:01Is that your bad?
25:05Um...
25:09This?
25:12Yes, for wiffle ball. It's plastic. Totally harmless.
25:15See?
25:27You're doing great.
25:30I have actual race cars if you want to do a tactile thing later.
25:35I've got freshly opened cookies.
25:39Do you have anything without refined sugar?
25:44Let me go look.
25:48Gosh.
25:49Imagine being there in the summer of 56 when Art Ingles invented the first go-kart.
25:54Dude!
25:55You made me lose.
25:56I'm sorry.
25:57I-I didn't mean to.
25:58You really suck the fun into everything.
26:00You know, I'm only here because my mom made me, right?
26:02You're just a weirdo who can't shut up.
26:05That's why you're not invited to my birthday party.
26:06Hey, Finn.
26:07I'm taking everybody to Knott's Berry Farm next week and you're not invited.
26:11I sure would love to bring you along, but they got a no turd kid policy,
26:15so I guess we'll just have to miss you on this one.
26:17Why don't you grab your stuff and go sit on the porch and wait for your mom?
26:22Bye.
26:24Thanks for coming.
26:31I kind of blacked out. How bad was it? What just came out of my mouth?
26:34It was bad.
26:37It was all bad.
26:42I'm so sorry I forced a play date.
26:45Finn does not deserve a friend like you.
26:48I know it's hard to be different.
26:51But listen, you are fun no matter what that little jerk says.
26:57I'll believe it when I see it.
27:07I don't know. One of them thinks he's not cool and the other one's basically divorced herself from our family.
27:12If she's not with her boyfriend, she's constantly texting him.
27:15Yep. I'm so sorry, Morgan, but this too shall pass.
27:19And then something even harder will come up.
27:21Oh, good. Thank you so much.
27:24Honestly, this Foley case is driving me nuts.
27:26We are missing something. I can feel it.
27:29I do too.
27:34Brett's couples counseling alibi checked out.
27:36Although he may have hired someone to kill Tara.
27:38Look into his financials.
27:41You might want to see this.
27:46Tara's with the other nannies in a lot of Chuck's photos.
27:49They might have known each other better than we thought.
27:51I mean, they did spend every day together.
27:57Our main suspects all have alibis.
28:00Not all airtight, but still.
28:01Go back to the nannies, find out everything they know about Tara.
28:05Anything we may have missed.
28:06Yeah.
28:07Awesome.
28:08I remembered that boxing combo is lethal if done correctly.
28:11I'm actually heading out.
28:13All right, we'll talk about it later.
28:14Morgan, I think you and I should tag along.
28:15Yeah.
28:15Karatek, you want to play some handball?
28:17Soon as I get back, bro.
28:18Soon as I get back.
28:18All right.
28:22Remember the good old days, Selena?
28:24You know, when you can arrest a perp in the morning
28:25and then take him out for a beer in the afternoon, you know?
28:28When everybody wasn't so sensitive about everything.
28:30Darius!
28:32Come here, please.
28:34I wanted to ask you about the Tara Foley case.
28:37Chuck, I think you better excuse us.
28:40You want me to get the Chuck out of here?
28:41My hourly rates are too high.
28:44Oh, damn.
28:45Thank you, Chuck.
28:47Ugh.
28:49You are a lifesaver.
28:51I hope I didn't pull you from anything urgent.
28:53Nope.
28:53Just snagging a cup of the good coffee you guys have up here.
28:56But I do have an update.
28:58The toxicologist report on Tara Foley came out clean,
29:00and we found no evidence of defensive wounds on her body.
29:03Which means when she was attacked, she didn't fight back.
29:05She was taken by surprise.
29:07Or she knew her attacker.
29:08Seems like it.
29:09Ugh.
29:15We're hoping you can tell us a little more about Tara.
29:19She was nice.
29:20Almost too nice.
29:22She didn't know her worth.
29:24I hear she was working for $10 an hour less than we do.
29:27And with no benefits.
29:30Poor thing.
29:31An extra $10 an hour would help with those overdue bills.
29:34Hmm.
29:34This job is easier if you work together.
29:37Coordinate.
29:38Only one nanny needs to bring a soccer ball.
29:40That sort of thing.
29:41But she didn't take us up when it offers to help.
29:43You know, the saddest part is,
29:45she might still be alive if she was a joiner.
29:48A joiner?
29:49What do you mean?
29:49Well, the night that she passed, I was house-sitting,
29:52so I had these girls over to just hang out.
29:55She could have been with us.
29:58But instead...
29:59Oh, God rest her soul.
30:02The only one she was friends with was Mark.
30:05But his wife didn't like that.
30:07What was her name?
30:08Karina.
30:09Right.
30:10Karina.
30:10You remember that fight?
30:13What fight?
30:14His wife show up one day and scream at Tara and Mark.
30:19Tara looked really frightened.
30:26Karina's motives just got a whole lot clearer.
30:27She was jealous.
30:29Didn't she have an alibi?
30:30She said she was working late,
30:31which was confirmed by the security log at her office.
30:33Anyone can jump a turnstile
30:35if they want to avoid scanning their ID,
30:37or they don't have money for the Metro,
30:39want to sneak into a Brandi Carlile concert,
30:42for example.
30:45Karina.
30:46Hey, it's Daphne.
30:47You know those other moms who post negative things
30:49about Tara and the Brentwood parents group?
30:51Yeah.
30:51They don't exist.
30:52Don't exist.
30:53Their profiles appear to be fake.
30:55So somebody who hated Tara created fake profiles
30:58to drag her?
30:59Yeah.
31:00We're about to go talk to somebody who fits that bill.
31:01Thanks, Daphne.
31:04So we need to be keeping an eye on sustainability,
31:07as our clients value...
31:13Um...
31:22Tell us about the heated argument you and Mark had at the park, please.
31:25Did it have anything to do with Mark's relationship with Tara?
31:28What?
31:29No.
31:30Are you...
31:30Are you suggesting I was jealous of Tara?
31:34Well, jealousy is a common motive.
31:36You wouldn't exactly be rewriting the playbook.
31:37I wasn't mad about Tara.
31:40I was mad about our deck.
31:42Mark had one simple job.
31:44Just order the wood for our new deck.
31:47And out of all the types of wood,
31:49do you know which one he ordered?
31:53Alaskan spruce.
31:55Everyone knows that Alaskan spruce shrinks and grain.
31:58Okay?
31:58And causes serious problems when it gets wet.
32:02I mean, I know that, but I'm not everyone.
32:04You are the only real person we can link to the negative posts about Tara.
32:07All the other profiles were fake.
32:09Did you maybe create them to upset the young woman that your husband was so close with?
32:12Oh, my God. Look, I told you, I never posted about Tara.
32:17Only Rosa.
32:19I took my daughter to story time at the library one time.
32:23Okay?
32:24As a working mother, that is a special opportunity to hang out with your kid in the middle of the
32:30day.
32:30And while I was there, I happened to see something awful.
32:33So I said something.
32:35And then it backfired and I deleted my account.
32:37Hang on, hang on.
32:38What time is story time?
32:39Noon.
32:40All the comments about Tara were posted between 12 and 1 p.m.
32:44Story time.
32:45It's basically a time when caretakers get to take a little breather because the kids are otherwise occupied.
32:50And who would want to infiltrate a parent group where the subject is trashing nannies?
32:56The nannies!
32:58They were in that group under fake accounts.
33:00They bullied Karina off of Facebook when she came for Rosa.
33:03And then once Tara was hired, they scraped her old profile and made a new one.
33:07They posed as Karina and other concerned parents and they reported Tara.
33:11But the other nannies liked Tara.
33:14Did they?
33:14I've been on the outside of the mom clique enough times to know when people are being nice to your
33:17face but judging you behind your back.
33:19When people like Tara come in and work for less money and no benefits, they devalue our job.
33:25She didn't abide by the nanny code.
33:26Tara wasn't welcome.
33:28She replaced our friend.
33:31Those nannies resented Tara.
33:32She threatened their very way of life, not to mention they were loyal to the woman she replaced.
33:37Rosa.
33:38Or, should we say, Sporty Spice.
33:44Each of the kids had a Spice Girls sticker on their lunchbox.
33:52Which was clearly for the nannies because what three-year-old gives a zig-a-zig-a about a 30
33:56-year-old band?
33:57Band?
33:58Except, there was one Spice Girl missing.
34:01Sporty Spice was tucked away in the back of the shelf in Brett and Jeff's house.
34:05Tara didn't want to use that lunchbox because the Spice Girls stickers were the original Five Nannies thing.
34:10And Tara was on the outs.
34:12So you think all the nannies killed Tara because they were mad she replaced Rosa?
34:15Nope.
34:16Oksana did.
34:18And you know this because?
34:19Because of the capitalization conventions in the Russian language.
34:22In the post that Karina admits to writing about Rosa, she capitalizes the day of the week that the incident
34:27occurred.
34:27Mm-hmm.
34:28But in the post that Karina denies writing about Tara, the days of the week are lower-cased.
34:33Which would only make sense if you were a native Russian speaker.
34:35Because in Russian, you don't capitalize days of the week.
34:38But even if Oksana was bullying Tara online using fake accounts, that doesn't mean she killed her.
34:43Well, of course it does.
34:44Because of the way she crossed herself.
34:47You guys aren't up to date on the great schism between Eastern Orthodoxy and Catholicism?
34:51Okay.
34:52Not totally.
34:54Okay.
34:55In 1054, there was a huge fight between Western and Eastern churches called the Great Schism.
35:01And this resulted in a few fundamental differences between how each church does things.
35:06One of those differences being how members cross themselves.
35:09Okay.
35:09Now this is ringing a bell.
35:12Catholics use five fingers and they cross forehead, chest, left shoulder, right shoulder.
35:17Orthodox Christians cross themselves using three fingers, forehead, chest, right shoulder to left shoulder.
35:23Now when we were chatting with the nannies, I saw Oksana cross herself in the Eastern Orthodox manner.
35:28How does Oksana's religion mean she killed Tara?
35:31Another result of the great schism is that the two sides use different calendars.
35:35Catholics use a Gregorian calendar introduced by a pope in 1582.
35:39Orthodox Christians still use a Julian calendar.
35:42Basically, it means they celebrate the same holidays, but certain holidays fall on different dates.
35:46Much to the chagrin of the little Greek girl whose Easter bunny comes a month after her friends got to
35:50eat all their Cadbury eggs.
35:51Mmm. Mmm. I love those.
35:53Girl, same.
35:54So good.
35:55You can go back to work now.
35:58Now, do we know what religion Tara Foley was?
36:02Catholic?
36:03Catholic!
36:03We found a rosary that's classic Catholic.
36:06Mmm.
36:07But don't forget what I said about the calendars.
36:09Oh, how could we?
36:10On Tara's calendar, she had marked down a date for the exaltation of the cross, September 27th.
36:15But Catholics celebrate that on the 14th.
36:18So she wasn't planning to go to her church service.
36:20She was going to Oksana's.
36:22Tara had figured out that Oksana was the one who was bullying her, and that explains the number for the
36:27immigration lawyer we found in her apartment.
36:29Identity fraud is a crime that can get your visa revoked. Tara knew that by making fake profiles on Facebook
36:33and pretending to be Karina, Oksana was putting her visa in jeopardy and she could be deported.
36:37Exactly. Tara knew that Oksana was going to be at the Russian Orthodox Church that night.
36:42Which is a block away from the park.
36:44After the service, Tara confronted Oksana. Oksana freaked out and bashed her in the head.
36:53She thought she'd finished the job, but she didn't.
36:57Tara was out of sorts, afraid that Oksana would follow her. She went to the park, hid in the slide,
37:02or she died.
37:05Were you with Oksana the night Tara was murdered?
37:07Yes. Yes. Yes.
37:08Can you tell me what you did that night?
37:10Oh, my employers were out of town, so I just had a girls' night in.
37:13We had some drinks, went in the hot tub. Oksana made dinner. Then we watched the movie.
37:18Everyone left around 1am.
37:19Well, thanks. Super helpful.
37:22We're just gonna go ahead and check the nanny cams.
37:25They don't have nanny cams.
37:27Well, the whole point of a nanny cam is that you don't tell the nanny.
37:34Oksana wasn't there.
37:35Oksana is a very scary lady. She made us lie.
37:38Oksana swore it was an accident.
37:58I can't believe you found nanny cams and didn't tell me.
38:01I was bluffing.
38:04Sneaky Spice.
38:15Your friends turned on you.
38:18They said you forced them to provide your alibi.
38:21We know that you are the one who killed Tara.
38:29That little bitch threatened me.
38:31Said she's gonna have me sent back to Russia for creating those posts.
38:36After everything I sacrificed to get here.
38:39After the persecution my family endured.
38:42Tara had no idea what going back would mean for me.
38:46That's why I picked up that rock.
38:48You could have just promised to stop bullying her.
38:51I couldn't take a risk.
38:53I would always be looking over my shoulder.
38:56I choose prison here.
38:58Over going back to Russia any day.
39:02And so you have.
39:22I gotta go do something.
39:23You guys play.
39:24Have fun.
39:28Hey.
39:29There was a time you would have killed to go to the playground.
39:32Well it's because Ava would make me puke on the spinner.
39:34It was fun.
39:36But we're different people now.
39:43Oh you wanna go play over there?
39:44You can go right over there.
39:46Don't go too far.
39:48Hey Jeff.
39:50Thought I might find you here.
39:52Well it hasn't felt right to hire a new nanny yet.
39:55But I'm so relieved the terrorist killer is behind bars.
39:58Tara deserved that.
40:00At least.
40:01Well now that the case is closed there's something I thought you might like.
40:14Wow.
40:16I never got to see this.
40:18You know.
40:19There every day together.
40:22That is the heartbreaking thing about being a working parent.
40:26I'm sad.
40:27Your kid has all these experiences that you are just not a part of.
40:32And your main focus when you hire a caretaker is that your child will be safe.
40:38But your hope is that your child will be loved.
40:42And Ward was loved by Tara.
40:46And I knew that.
40:49But now I get to see it.
40:50But now I get to see it.
41:17Oh you're going so much faster than before.
41:19Oh yeah.
41:21Oh yeah.
41:22Amy you're going to make me lose my lunch.
41:25Don't stop.
41:27Whoa.
41:34Yeah?
41:35I'm going to make you puke up yesterday's lunch too.
41:38Woo hoo.
41:40Woo hoo.
41:41Woo.
41:44Woo hoo.
41:47Woo hoo.
41:48Something I am trying
42:25So faster
42:27Ha!
