00:11Tell me, is it a sin to love you?
00:22Is it a sin to love you?
00:32Is it a sin to love you?
00:59You are late.
01:01Where are you?
01:06Oh my god.
01:11You have an intercom?
01:13Doesn't everybody?
01:15In the Smithsonian, maybe?
01:17Meet me in my office in ten minutes.
01:18I will.
01:20Just kill me now.
01:34There she is at last.
01:36I don't know about you, but most people take weekends off.
01:40Well, most people are not on the New York Times bestseller list.
01:44Look at this place.
01:45It's like a shrine.
01:48Dedicated to you.
01:49Your desk is over there.
01:52Oh.
01:53A TV tray.
01:55So what's with the tent and chairs outside?
01:57It's for the wedding.
01:58A wedding?
01:59Are you getting married again?
02:01Not my wedding.
02:02I'm hosting.
02:03Cool.
02:04So, where are the whiteboards?
02:06The what?
02:07The whiteboards.
02:07We need some way to outline the story.
02:09Or do you use index cards and painter's tape?
02:11Because I've got some in my bag.
02:13Why do you have painter's tape in your bag?
02:14Because you write the story beats on the cards and then you tape them to the windows.
02:17Not to my windows.
02:20Then how do you outline?
02:21I don't.
02:22I'm a pantser.
02:23See to the pants.
02:24I go where the story takes me.
02:26You can't do that with true crime.
02:27True crime has structure.
02:28It's different from something that you just pull out of your ass.
02:31Okay.
02:32Let's get one thing straight.
02:34If this partnership is going to work, you are going to have to ditch the Gen Z superior
02:38attitude.
02:38Superior attitude?
02:40Your desk is literally on a pedestal.
02:42It's not a pedestal.
02:43It's a design feature.
02:44And we have wasted too much time.
02:48You need to start writing.
02:50Start writing what?
02:51The Nash book.
02:52What else?
02:53Where are you going?
02:55Just talk to the caterer.
02:56The guests are coming at 11 o'clock.
02:59Jess!
03:01I was reviewing the menu.
03:02Oh, no.
03:03Don't you dare make any changes on me now.
03:05I just want to make sure that there are no peanuts in the sauce for the spring rolls.
03:08Yeah.
03:08The best man is allergic.
03:10Oh, and I know you don't like him, but we have to be careful.
03:12If you're throwing a wedding, how are we supposed to get any work done on our book?
03:16First of all, you don't throw a wedding.
03:18Second of all, I am working.
03:19My wheels are always turving.
03:21And third, I'm the senior partner in this relationship.
03:24I give the directions.
03:25You carry them out.
03:26I need to go talk to the fleurists.
03:30Have a productive day.
03:34What just happened?
03:37Welcome to my world.
03:39Okay.
03:40Looks like we're adding caprese bites to the trash trays and your stuff to the stove.
03:44Come on.
03:49Ready, Raleigh?
03:57Ready, Raleigh?
04:02Ready.
04:05Ready.
04:06Come on.
04:07Let's go.
04:07Oh, my God.
04:08God.
04:08I'm so sorry.
04:09I didn't think anyone was in here.
04:11It's okay.
04:12I just moved in.
04:13You must be the groom.
04:15Groomsmen?
04:15I thought we were changing here, but back up.
04:17You said you live here?
04:18I am working with Allison Chandler.
04:21Except that right now I am working, and she's doing a wedding.
04:25Uh-huh.
04:26What are you working on?
04:27A book.
04:29Except the hag doesn't have a clue how to write true crime.
04:32I didn't realize she was working with a writing partner.
04:34She is now.
04:36Word is, her publishers want to put Selena St. Cloud out of her misery,
04:41send the old girl out to pasture, and put her down like a lean dog.
04:44Oh, you can't say things like that here. It's treason.
04:46Don't get me wrong.
04:47Sharing a byline with a New York Times best-selling author,
04:50but she is just so supremely messed up in so many ways.
04:54I mean, a wedding? Wouldn't we have a deadline?
04:56Are you going?
04:57God, no. Weddings are nauseating.
05:00And she didn't invite me.
05:02Then I'm inviting you.
05:04She clearly doesn't want me there.
05:06That's why I think you should come.
05:08That.
05:10And I like you.
05:12Why?
05:13Because you called Allison Chandler a hag.
05:16Yeah.
05:17Okay, I'll come.
05:19I like you too, but I don't know your name.
05:24Oliver, what are you doing here?
05:25Oh, just getting to know your new writing partner.
05:27You can do that later, okay?
05:28You're in your old room, and you need to get changed.
05:31What, your old room? You lived here?
05:33Yeah, of course he did. He's my son.
05:34Your son? Why didn't you tell me?
05:36Well, I was more fun this way.
05:38And why is your friend getting married at your mom's house?
05:40Because her backyard is bigger than Disneyland?
05:42Todd and Oliver went to school together from kindergarten all the way to college.
05:45Can we go now, please?
05:48I'll see you at the wedding.
05:49What do you mean I'll see you at the wedding?
05:51She's not going to the wedding.
05:52I am his date.
05:54No, you're not his date.
05:56She's not your date.
05:57She's got work.
05:58Which she is going to do without rooming my windows.
06:05I think she's still coming to the wedding.
06:08Well, at least wear a bra.
06:13We're way behind schedule.
06:14Relax, Mom. It's going to be fun.
06:16Mrs. C!
06:17Hey, look at all of you.
06:20Oh, so grown up.
06:22Oh.
06:23Hey, Brandon.
06:25You are looking very best man.
06:27And you're more ravishing than I got.
06:29Oh, someone started a little early with the champagne.
06:33Cooper.
06:34Hey.
06:35Hey, have you found someone special yet?
06:36I did.
06:37But she dumped me.
06:39No.
06:40Mom, please?
06:42Please?
06:42What?
06:43Coop and I go way back to when you kids spent the summers here during college.
06:46I miss those days.
06:48Todd, I'm thrilled for you.
06:50Oh, thanks.
06:51Willow and I are so grateful for everything that you've done for us.
06:54It's my pleasure.
06:55Let's get you guys upstairs so you can get ready.
06:57Yes.
06:57Oh, wait.
06:58The rings.
06:59Can I take a teeny peek?
07:01Please.
07:05Look at that.
07:06Oh, they're gorgeous.
07:08Didn't you say we were in a hurry?
07:09Oh, sorry.
07:10Yeah, I just got carried away.
07:13Oh.
07:13What?
07:14Willow's got some skinny little fingers, huh?
07:16Oh.
07:17Ha.
07:17Yeah, there we go.
07:18All good.
07:19Got my workout.
07:20Okay, right on.
07:21There you go.
07:21Okay, let's get you guys upstairs so you can change, okay?
07:28Okay.
07:29Got to be downstairs in half an hour.
07:30Don't be late.
07:31I got it.
07:32Nice mom.
07:34Miss Chandler.
07:35Oh, Willow.
07:36Hi.
07:37Beautiful bride.
07:38You look radiant.
07:40Oh, congratulations on finishing med school.
07:43Well, it took long enough.
07:44Well, who's counting?
07:45This is Dana.
07:46She's my maid of honor.
07:47I remember Dana.
07:49You were Willow's roommate at Shaftesbury College.
07:51Are you a doctor now, too?
07:53God, no.
07:53I hate science.
07:54It was totally not for me.
07:56I design jewelry now.
07:57Wonderful.
07:58Dana's so creative.
07:59She made something for everyone in the bridal party, including you.
08:02I'm honored.
08:04Well, thank you.
08:09Wow.
08:10Look at that something.
08:12I have matching earrings if you want the complete look.
08:14Oh, no, no, no.
08:17No, no.
08:17This is a standalone piece.
08:20I can't thank you enough for all of this.
08:23You better get changed.
08:24We can talk later.
08:27Come on.
08:28It's going to be such a good day.
08:33It's so good.
08:39Well, I'm glad to see you dressed for the occasion.
08:43Unfortunately, not if my ironic t-shirts were clean.
08:45Red isn't usually worn at weddings.
08:47I don't usually do what it Jesus Christ.
08:49What the hell is that?
08:51It's special jewelry.
08:53If you're Wilma Flintstone, did the astronauts bring that back to you from the moon?
08:57The maid of honor made it.
08:59You do realize that there's people taking photographs of you with that boulder around your neck?
09:11Oh, no.
09:12It broke.
09:13What a shame.
09:15Huh?
09:18Stop.
09:19I don't care if you guys want to kill each other.
09:20Just do it after my wedding.
09:21As you wish, Godzilla.
09:23This?
09:23Really?
09:24Whatever, man.
09:25I mean it.
09:26Look, Brandon.
09:26How many times do I have to tell you?
09:28Don't be such a douchebag.
09:28This is serious.
09:29Okay?
09:30Hey, man.
09:30Lay it down.
09:31Look, it's my wedding.
09:32So cut the shit.
09:33That's not it.
09:35It's about it.
09:35Let's not get into this right now.
10:02Let's not get into this right now.
10:05What's wrong?
10:07Nothing.
10:07I always cry at weddings.
10:09Because of all the alimony you have to pay.
10:11Shh.
10:14You may be seated.
10:18We are gathered here today to join Willow and Todd in holy matrimony.
10:24Willow, do you take Todd to be your lawfully wedded husband?
10:28I do.
10:29And Todd, do you take Willow to be your lawfully wedded wife?
10:32I do.
10:34You have the rings, please.
10:38That's great.
10:43These rings not only represent the love that you share between one another.
10:47Dude, are you all right?
10:47But they also represent the perfect circle of...
10:50Oh, my God.
10:51Brandon?
10:52Is he okay?
10:53Brandon, are you all right?
10:54Get your rescue pen.
10:55Go on, dear.
10:56You okay?
10:58Oh, shit.
11:01Brandon?
11:01You all right?
11:02Hey, hey.
11:04Oh, hey.
11:04Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa.
11:05Oh, no.
11:06Brandon.
11:06Oh, my God.
11:08Hey, Willow.
11:09What are we doing?
11:10What are we doing with you?
11:11Does anyone know CPR?
11:12I do.
11:13Oh, my God.
11:14He's still breathing.
11:19Come on.
11:20Come on.
11:20Come on.
11:21Come on.
11:21Come on.
11:21Come on.
11:22Come on.
11:22Come on.
11:23Stay with me.
11:24Stay with me.
11:25Stay with me.
11:25Stay with me.
11:27Brandon.
11:28No, no, no, no.
11:30Come on.
11:44I can't believe this is happening.
11:47I'm sorry.
11:49You okay?
11:50Yeah.
11:51Oliver, stay for a second.
12:15Can I get a plastic bag for this?
12:17Because I think forensics would want to see it.
12:18Why?
12:19Look at the casing.
12:20Someone's messed with it.
12:21It looks like a pinhole that's been sealed.
12:26Smell this.
12:27Why?
12:28This is being difficult.
12:29Smell it.
12:31Peanuts?
12:32Didn't you say that Brandon had a peanut allergy?
12:35That's why he had the rescue pen, Captain Obvious.
12:38What if someone took Brandon's rescue pen and switched it for a doctored one?
12:44All you would need are the proteins to trigger anaphylaxis.
12:47If you're right, Brandon was murdered.
12:50I think I'm right.
12:52We should tell the police.
13:01Hello, everyone.
13:02Listen up, please.
13:03Um, I'm Detective Kerrigan.
13:05I know this has been hard on everyone.
13:07However, this is now a crime scene.
13:09You are all witnesses.
13:10So we're going to have to interview all of you.
13:12I'm going to ask for your patience.
13:13With all of that, in the meantime, I'm sure that Ms. Chandler can make sure that you're
13:15all very well taken care of.
13:17The bar's that way.
13:20I don't think we've met.
13:21I'm Oliver Shore, Alison Chandler's son, and also her attorney.
13:24Detective Jack Kerrigan.
13:25Nice to meet you.
13:26Since you're taking statements, I thought I'd volunteer to be first.
13:29Yeah.
13:30Follow me.
13:39The groom didn't look too happy with the best man.
13:42Did you see them all arguing before the ceremony?
13:44I have known these kids for years.
13:46How could one of them be a murderer?
13:49I say we find out.
13:51Okay, but these are my guests, so I do the talking.
14:00I thought you two might need a little something to eat.
14:03After all that, I'm not hungry.
14:04This one's gluten-free.
14:05I guess I'll have one.
14:07So, I know it's been a tough day, but I did kind of see you dissed Brandon earlier when
14:12he tried to give you a high five.
14:14I'm sorry that my new writing partner is so rude.
14:17No, it's fine.
14:18I mean, yeah, I was a little pissed off at Brandon.
14:20He was acting like a clown, but, you know, the truth is I owe him.
14:22You owe him?
14:23How?
14:23He was a genius behind Snakefly.
14:25That's the software company that Cooper and Todd built with Brandon.
14:29Right.
14:29Yeah, I've heard of Snakefly.
14:31You guys created AI that writes its own self-evolving code.
14:34You're a total disruptor.
14:36I mean, we're actually supposed to get our first big round of funding on Monday.
14:39Well, that's awesome.
14:40Now that Brandon's gone, who gets his share of the profit?
14:44Cooper and I will just split it, I guess.
14:47Hmm.
14:48All right, well, I'm sure that deal will come in handy now that the two of you are starting
14:51your life together.
14:52What's that supposed to mean?
14:54Well, you just finished med school, right?
14:56So, I'm guessing you've got a shit ton of student loans.
15:00Well, I'd be lying if I said it wouldn't help.
15:03Is there any more bruschetta?
15:05I'm starving, and I heard the caterer might get arrested.
15:08Where'd you hear that?
15:09Got a text from Dana.
15:11She said she saw the police take her somewhere for questioning.
15:14I'll go check on that bruschetta.
15:18I'm standing outside the stately home of best-selling author Allison Chandler, where the temperature
15:23is a mild 75, but the forecast is murder.
15:28Hey!
15:29Get off my lawn!
15:30Who is that?
15:31Connie Newsome, the weather slut from Channel 49.
15:34She bogged the crap out of me.
15:36She's been out to get me since the day she got here.
15:38I have had enough!
15:40What the hell?
15:42Oh!
15:43Wrap it up!
15:45Jeez!
15:46You're crazy!
15:47Ugh.
15:48Let's go!
15:49This is your vehicle.
15:50How do you explain it?
15:52I don't know what to tell you.
15:53I did a job last week, and I used peanut oil in the chicken satay, and then I put the
15:58bottle in my truck.
15:59Is that a crime?
16:00Did you know they're deceased?
16:01My daughter, Laura, went to college with them.
16:04How well did she know they're deceased?
16:05Well enough to fall for him and get herself involved in a cheating scandal.
16:09You blame Brandon Hayes?
16:10You're damn right I did.
16:12She never went back to school after.
16:15Hey.
16:18How's it going, Sherlock?
16:19I thought I'd let the cops take the field, give them a chance to catch up.
16:25Oh!
16:25Whoa!
16:26Oh.
16:27You okay?
16:29Speaking of, nice catch.
16:31I did play sports in junior high.
16:34God damn it!
16:36These are my only heels.
16:39Hope your mom doesn't have me thrown in the dungeon for not wearing shoes.
16:42Mm-hmm.
16:43She only does that on Christmas.
16:46Okay.
16:47I'm going to have one of my officers take a full statement from you.
16:49What?
16:50Am I in trouble?
16:51I just want to ask you a few more questions.
16:53Well, I'm so sorry about this, Jess.
16:55No, there's nothing to be sorry about.
16:57He is just doing his job.
17:00I can walk on my own.
17:01I'm not a criminal.
17:02Jessica is not the killer.
17:04We've known each other for 25 years.
17:06Oh, you two have known each other for 25 years?
17:08Yeah.
17:09Oh, that's a valid defense.
17:10Oh, no, wait.
17:11It's not.
17:12By the way, that's the same thing you said about Lee Granway.
17:14Oh, yeah.
17:15And I was right about Lee, remember?
17:17If you're right this time, it'll be a short interview.
17:19Hey, tell me something.
17:20Always so many murders and founders go.
17:22Don't try to change the subject.
17:24I've got a house full of hungry guests, okay?
17:26I need my caterer to film my fakes.
17:34I was going to come find you after what happened happened,
17:37but there was just so much going on.
17:39Been a real shit date, haven't I?
17:41Are you for real?
17:42I'm at a wedding with a murder.
17:45But I know that Brandon was your friend,
17:48so you must be having a tough time.
17:50He was more of a frenemy than a friend,
17:52but he didn't deserve this.
17:53It's fine.
17:53I'm fine.
17:56You don't have to play the emotional,
17:59at least a press mail with me.
18:00If you want to let it out, let it out.
18:02Feel the feels.
18:03I'm more of a forego the feels kind of person.
18:05Like Hag Like Son.
18:08Did I mention that I'm really sorry
18:10for calling your mother a hag?
18:11Don't have to apologize.
18:12It was pretty funny.
18:16What I'm trying to say is,
18:18I'm here if you want to talk.
18:21I appreciate that.
18:25I'm so sorry about all this.
18:27The police are doing their best
18:28to find out what happened.
18:30Let me talk that off for you.
18:32There you go.
18:34Oh, where have you been?
18:36Just chatting with some of the guests.
18:38What happened to your shoes?
18:39The bottom of the heel came off,
18:40so I can't wear them.
18:41What?
18:42It's not like I did it on purpose.
18:44Oh.
18:47Take that.
18:49This whole day has been a nightmare.
18:52Oh.
18:53Oh, great.
18:54And look.
18:54Look at where that branch came down.
18:56The gardeners were supposed to trim those trees this week.
18:58Everything has completely gone to shit around here.
19:02I know that this is hard for you to hear,
19:04but not everything has to be perfect,
19:06even at an Alison Chandler wedding.
19:08Perfect has been in the rearview mirror
19:10since the best man dropped dead.
19:12And now there's a killer on the loose at my house.
19:16But it's the irony that gets me.
19:18Here I am, the queen of romance,
19:20and I'm hosting a beautiful wedding,
19:22and what happens?
19:24Someone dies.
19:25It's like a cosmic metaphor for my love life.
19:28Maybe because no one can live up to your misguided ideals
19:31of what romance is about?
19:32Let's talk about you instead.
19:34Oh, I hate weddings.
19:35Why?
19:36It may have to do with the toxic patterns
19:38inherent in the classic love story.
19:40Please, don't hide behind that Gen Z bullshit.
19:43You hate weddings because they bring up issues
19:45you don't want to think about.
19:46Oh, please.
19:47Enlighten me.
19:48First of all, your mom and dad promise
19:50to love each other forever, and they let you down.
19:53And worse, your mom disappeared.
19:56Can't be easy.
20:01I remember one time I wanted to play dress up.
20:04As what, a construction worker?
20:05Don't interrupt.
20:06I went to the attic, and I found my mom's wedding dress.
20:10And she let me try it on, on one condition.
20:13Then I promised I wouldn't grow up too fast.
20:19Never thought I'd have to grow up without her.
20:22Hey, listen to me.
20:24No matter what you think, I know she really loves you.
20:28Why?
20:28Because you can read people?
20:31Because I'm a mother.
20:35I think I need another drink.
20:38Well, before you get totally shit-faced,
20:41take a look over there.
20:42Cooper and Todd?
20:43No.
20:44The cufflinks.
20:45Can you see them?
20:46The ones that look like moon rocks?
20:48Yeah.
20:49Dana must have made them.
20:50But they weren't there with the tuxes when I set them out.
20:54So she must have given them to them after they got here.
20:58So maybe she knows something about what went on before the ceremony.
21:02Pop.
21:04Twist the wire in and out.
21:07And then we'll trim the ends.
21:12All day.
21:15You got time for one more customer?
21:17Honey, I've been there.
21:19It's why they call me DIY, Dana.
21:22Why aren't you wearing your pendant?
21:24Oh.
21:25Oh, well, with all that's happened today,
21:27I put it in my safe to keep it safe.
21:29In my safe.
21:31So, no worries.
21:33It's safe.
21:34It's safe.
21:34You can never be too careful.
21:36And let's see.
21:40So, Dana, those cufflinks that you gave the groomsmen are incredible.
21:45Thanks.
21:47But you know what?
21:47I didn't notice them when I hung up the tuxes.
21:50That's because I gave them to the guys right before the ceremony.
21:53Huh.
21:54And what was the mood like when you saw them?
21:56Intense.
21:57The guys always argued, but this was nasty.
22:01I only have gold left.
22:03That's fine.
22:03Do you know what they were arguing about?
22:05I wasn't really listening.
22:07Todd and Brandon always argued about business,
22:09but Cooper was upset this time.
22:11He never gets upset.
22:14Okay, there you go.
22:16All it needed was a little TLC.
22:18Like Cinderella.
22:20FYI, Cinderella is a perfect example of a toxic narrative
22:23that romanticizes survival under an oppressive patriarchy.
22:27You must be a laugh riot at children's parties.
22:36Hey, you fixed your shoe.
22:37Danny can fix anything.
22:38You let in, I'll fly.
22:40I let it in.
22:40Todd Stratton, could I have a word with you in private, please?
22:42Anything you have to say, you can say in front of my friends.
22:47Okay.
22:48We are hearing from some people in the bachelor party
22:50that you and Brandon Hayes had an altercation last night.
22:53Do you mind telling me what that was about?
22:54Brandon needed attention all the time.
22:56I mean, he couldn't stand it when I brought in an investor,
22:59so we had to bring in one of his own, which was ridiculous.
23:02That's it?
23:03That's it.
23:04So I heard there was more to the story.
23:05Like what?
23:06Like, for example, Todd's investor was offering a 5% finder's fee
23:09when Brandon nixed the deal.
23:11You threatened to kill him.
23:12Combined with the fact that Brandon was reducing your ownership
23:15in the company to 15%,
23:17and you and your wife, your wife-to-be had serious student debt.
23:21It looks to me like you had some good reasons
23:22to let Brandon Hayes out of the picture, so...
23:26Give me that.
23:27Did you get it?
23:29Yeah, proceed.
23:31You were saying?
23:32Is that true?
23:33After all the work you've done, you're only getting 15%?
23:36You know Brandon created the algorithm.
23:37He called the shots.
23:39Look, I know that you're worried about your student loans.
23:41I'm not a gold digger.
23:42Okay, I don't think that I called you a gold digger.
23:45That's the problem, Todd.
23:46You just don't think.
23:50Worst day of my life.
23:51Willow, wait.
23:52Give her some space.
23:55Are we done here?
23:56Yeah, just one more question.
23:57Besides you and Brandon Hayes,
23:58did anyone else have access to the rings?
24:00No, why?
24:01Because the lab has identified the same protein on the rings
24:03that was in the dose that killed him.
24:04Okay, this interview's over.
24:05Doesn't really concern you.
24:06It does now.
24:06How's that?
24:07I'm Todd's attorney.
24:08Since when?
24:08Since right now.
24:10So unless you have a warrant, a subpoena,
24:11or a probable cause to detain my client,
24:13he's invoking his Fifth Amendment right.
24:19Okay.
24:21We'll be in touch.
24:26Okay.
24:27I need some air.
24:44I thought I better check up on you.
24:47I'm fine.
24:48Todd Stratton, I've known you since you're five.
24:52You're not fine.
24:52You have that same guilty expression on your face
24:56when you peed on my sofa and didn't want to tell me.
24:59So what are you not telling me now?
25:04Look, I don't want to go pointing the finger at anybody else.
25:07You know, things between Cooper and Brandon,
25:09they were, well, they were bad.
25:10How bad?
25:14Well, I mean, there are these rumors
25:15that someone had helped Brandon
25:17with the underlying algorithm for Snakefly,
25:19and if that were true,
25:20then that person would be entitled
25:21to a big chunk of the profits.
25:24Well, why didn't Cooper just hire a lawyer and sue him?
25:27I mean, hell if I know, but...
25:29Do you remember when you had asked Cooper
25:31if he had found someone special,
25:33and he said that he had, but she dumped him?
25:36Oh.
25:37Brandon and Cooper's girlfriend?
25:39Looked up.
25:41Broke Cooper's heart.
25:57Hey.
26:00You were pretty impressive,
26:02standing up for your friend.
26:04Thanks.
26:05Wish there was more I could do,
26:07but now we wait.
26:08Yep.
26:09But as long as we're handing out compliments,
26:12I really dig that you stand up to my mom.
26:14You mean no one talks to the great
26:15Alison Chandler like that?
26:17No.
26:17But on some level,
26:18I think she respects you for it.
26:20I know I do.
26:22You know,
26:24I thought you were really nerdy
26:26when I first met you.
26:28But I was wrong.
26:30See, I wasn't sure what I thought
26:31when I met you.
26:32Hmm.
26:33Except that you were hot,
26:37and my mother would never approve if...
26:40If what?
26:45I don't know.
26:49God, it's been a rough day.
26:53Really rough.
26:59Okay, attention, everyone.
27:00We are going to serve the main course.
27:02Yes, it's an hour early,
27:03but Jessica isn't here to call the shots,
27:05and Martha Stewart doesn't have a chapter
27:07about what to do when the best man is murdered.
27:08So keep calm and start plating.
27:14Hey, you busy?
27:15Yes.
27:16Good.
27:16You need to convince Oliver
27:17to let me talk to Todd.
27:18Oh, so you can grill Todd
27:19like you grill Jessica
27:20and then throw him in a slammer?
27:21No, thank you.
27:23There's no grilling, okay?
27:24Look, Jessica finished her interview.
27:26I want to rule Todd out,
27:27and in order to do that,
27:28I need to talk to him.
27:29Oh, if you're starting to clear people,
27:32that must mean you have a new prime suspect.
27:34We're hearing from some of the guests
27:35that Cooper Ruiz was upset
27:37about the lack of guardrails
27:38on the AI that ran their software,
27:40went ballistic when Brandon
27:41wouldn't listen to him
27:42and threatened to report him to the SEC.
27:44Okay, I hate to say this,
27:46but there is a rumor
27:47that Cooper helped Brandon
27:48develop the algorithm for Snakefly.
27:51Okay.
27:52Dana said she saw Cooper
27:53arguing with Brandon
27:54when she was in the groom's room.
27:56Wait, Jack,
27:57there may be evidence up there.
27:58Oh, and Team Hardy searched up there.
28:00No one knows this place like I do.
28:04Come on.
28:08So, how was the weekend with your daughter?
28:11My daughter?
28:11How did you know I was with my daughter?
28:13Well, it's the socks.
28:15What?
28:15You didn't pick them out for yourself.
28:17Now, that could mean there's a girlfriend,
28:18but I don't think there's a girlfriend
28:19because you need a haircut.
28:21What's wrong with my...
28:22Those shoes are hideous.
28:24But the real giveaway
28:24is that you're wearing a wristband
28:26for the Student Short Film Festival,
28:28and nobody would bring a date to that.
28:32Nothing longer than a short film.
28:36Oh, no.
28:38Oh, God.
28:40Oh, what have you done?
28:41I think you know what we've done, Mom.
28:43Oh, it's not what it looks like.
28:45It's exactly what it looks like.
28:47What were you thinking?
28:49I think you know what we were thinking.
28:50Oh, God.
28:51I am having a stroke.
28:53Hey, I have an idea.
28:54Why don't your mother and I wait in the hall
28:55and you two have a moment?
28:57Great idea.
28:58No, no, no, no, no, no, no.
28:59We have a job to do.
29:00We can't look for evidence.
29:01We are going to look for evidence.
29:03Okay, I'm sure I can wait a few minutes.
29:05Oh, boy.
29:09Oh, there's nothing under there.
29:10Maybe behind the pillows.
29:12Excuse me.
29:15No, nothing there.
29:17Why would it be behind the pillows?
29:19Why don't you start looking in the pants pockets
29:20and I will go through the luggage.
29:22Probably not going to look in the pants pockets right now.
29:24And by the way, your breath reeks of alcohol.
29:27You might want to do something about that.
29:29You should lose this.
29:52Are you finding a lot of evidence?
30:04I got it.
30:05Mouthwash.
30:05Good.
30:06Use it.
30:08This is the liquid that was in Brandon's rescue pen.
30:16This peanut smells like peanuts.
30:18Where'd you find this?
30:19In here.
30:27Cooper Ruiz.
30:28Looks like I have a client for real this time.
30:31Well, like they say when you pass the bar.
30:33Zip up your pants, counselor, and let's get to work.
30:35Not you.
30:37What?
30:38This is serious.
30:41You have anything to say for yourself?
30:44At least I wore a bra.
30:50Look, I swear, I didn't kill Brandon.
30:53I've never even seen that bottle before.
30:55What was it doing in your kit?
30:56You don't have to answer that.
30:58I'd like to tell the answer.
30:58Oh, what is that?
31:00Ah, it's the intercom.
31:01She used it to spy on me when I was a kid.
31:03Hey, Mom.
31:04This is a confidential conversation.
31:07I'm just trying to help.
31:09We don't need your help.
31:10Go on.
31:11We're hearing from the bachelor party that you were pretty upset when you found out Brandon
31:16was reducing your share of the company by 50%, but that you were, quote, really upset when
31:20Brandon would not delay the rollout because of your security concerns.
31:24Brandon was being irresponsible.
31:26If we launched a self-evolving coding module, we would essentially be allowing code to write
31:30code.
31:30There's nothing we could do about it.
31:32You seem pretty upset, Mr. Ruiz.
31:33Yes, I was upset, but we were still friends.
31:35Even after he slept with your real friends?
31:37For God's sake, come on.
31:38How does she know that?
31:40Holy cow.
31:45That might be a crime.
31:46Look, Cooper, things would be a lot easier if you just told us where he hid the rescue
31:50pen you traded out for the murder weapon.
31:53Cooper is asserting his Fifth Amendment right not to answer any more questions.
31:58I don't blame him.
32:03Well, that was fun.
32:05Oh.
32:05I'm so sorry about this, Jessica.
32:07It was no big deal.
32:08And that new, uh, new detective is kind of sexy.
32:11I hadn't noticed.
32:13He was really obsessed about whether I was in Oliver's room before the ceremony.
32:17You were in the kitchen the whole time.
32:19How could you be upstairs?
32:21Well, I did take a tray of sandwiches up to the guys, but...
32:23You were upstairs in Oliver's room before the ceremony?
32:25So?
32:27So?
32:28What?
32:29It means you had the opportunity to switch the allergy pens.
32:32And there was peanut oil on your truck.
32:34And with what happened to Laura, you had motive.
32:37You had means.
32:38And you had...
32:40What the hell?
32:42Hey, would you just get a hold of yourself?
32:45This is not one of your books.
32:47We are not all suspects.
32:48Especially someone that you have known for 25 years.
32:51I am so, so sorry.
32:54You should be.
32:56Bring it in.
32:58Oh.
32:59Mmm.
33:00I gotta go flambe something.
33:02Sorry.
33:05We really need to talk.
33:07No.
33:07I don't think it's a good idea for either one of us to say one word to each other.
33:11We work together.
33:12We're gonna have to clear the air sooner or later.
33:15Okay.
33:15Fine.
33:17I give you the biggest chance of your lifetime.
33:21And this is the thanks that I get?
33:22You do the no pants dance with my son?
33:25That just happened, okay?
33:26So you don't fool me.
33:28You're trying to mess with the whole power dynamic between the two of us.
33:31I know exactly what you're doing.
33:32No.
33:33All I wanted to do was make index cards and write an outline.
33:37You're the one on the power trip.
33:38You're the one to put your desk on a pedestal.
33:40I told you it was a design feature.
33:42And if you think that the spell that you have cast over my...
33:45The sun.
33:46...gives you some kind of an upper hand?
33:47I cast on your sun?
33:48You're dead wrong!
33:49I'm sorry, I'm some kind of sorceress with a magic hoo-ha.
33:51Oh, well, you said it.
33:53I didn't.
33:53Listen to me, crazy lady.
33:54What happened between me and Oliver is what it is.
33:56It's nothing more and it's nothing less.
33:57Oh, I know all about your generation and your casual sex.
34:01It's a boo thing.
34:02Okay, technically.
34:02I caught more of a situationship, but the point is, it's not a big deal.
34:06You wouldn't say that if you were a mother.
34:08Yes, I would.
34:10Because sex is just sex.
34:11It's something that people do.
34:12That's what your generation wants to believe.
34:14But it's not true.
34:15You're wrong.
34:15People have feelings.
34:17They get hurt.
34:18I don't want to see my son getting hurt by anyone, including you.
34:22Oliver can do what he wants.
34:24He's not a child anymore.
34:26You don't know what it's like to be a mother.
34:28You feel everything.
34:31You know everything about your kid.
34:33I even knew where he used to hide his weed.
34:36In a hole in an old tree down in the grove.
34:39He and his friends used to hang out there all the time.
34:42Do you mean the grove where the tree branch came down?
34:45Yeah, that's the one.
34:45And did Oliver's friends know about the secret hiding place?
34:48Yeah.
34:48They didn't know I knew.
34:50Willow would get stoned out of her mind.
34:53Now she's a doctor, so God help us all.
34:57I tried to bring her tea a little while ago, and she just still doesn't want to talk to anybody.
35:01If I was one of Oliver's friends and I had something that I wanted to hide,
35:04I could climb that tree, stash it in there, come back for it later, bring it home with me,
35:08and the police would never know anything about it.
35:12What?
35:13And you just said you hadn't seen Willow for hours.
35:26Look at the footprints on the ground.
35:28There's still what?
35:29Where?
35:30You just walked right through them.
35:32Never mind.
35:33Okay, we're going to need these.
35:35It's up there.
35:37Okay, here we go.
35:39All righty.
35:43Please tell me what's happening.
35:45Swatching exercise.
35:46All right.
35:48Give me a boost.
35:49A boost?
35:50Yeah.
35:51Just get really close to the tree and squat down and make a platform with your hands.
35:55Heart pass.
35:56Why are you being so difficult?
35:57First of all, gravity.
35:59Second of all, gravity.
36:00This is a bad idea.
36:02Okay.
36:03Just do it.
36:05Okay.
36:07Come on.
36:07Help.
36:07Okay.
36:08Okay.
36:08Mm-hmm.
36:12Could you please?
36:14To me.
36:16Oh, my God.
36:17Okay.
36:18Oh, nothing.
36:19Hold on.
36:20God.
36:21I'm cutting all over to hide his weed in his bedroom like a normal teenager.
36:25After what you did in my son's bedroom, then you know where all the hiding places are.
36:29Please never say that again.
36:31Oh, I got something.
36:32I got it.
36:33Oh, what is this?
36:34A pipe?
36:36It's a weed pipe.
36:37Keep looking.
36:39My knees are starting to go.
36:40Don't be such a baby.
36:46It's Brandon's rescue pen.
36:48Oh, my heel.
36:50Oh, my heel.
36:50Oh, my heel.
36:52Oh.
36:53Oh.
36:55Damn it.
36:56Are you okay?
36:57Yeah.
36:59Okay.
36:59Oh, my heel tip again.
37:01Okay, well, find it.
37:02Then let's go.
37:09That's weird.
37:10There's two of them.
37:11It's also gold.
37:13Identical to the one Dana gave you.
37:16The jewelry kit.
37:19Dana had all the tools she needed to drill a tiny hole, replace the epinephrine with peanut solution, fill the
37:24hole, and then sand it down.
37:25And she told us that Cooper had a fight with Brandon to mislead us.
37:29So if the heel tip is missing on Dana's shoe, or if it's been replaced...
37:42Hey, Jack!
37:43Do I dare ask?
37:45We found Brandon's rescue pen.
37:48And you're going to need these.
37:50What are those?
37:51Take a look over there.
37:51Dana's heels don't match.
37:53Thanks.
37:54I made it myself.
37:55So?
37:55So.
37:56Dana was in the changing room with the groomsmen, which gave her an opportunity to switch out the rescue pens
38:00and plant the mouthwash on Cooper's stuff.
38:03Dana Collins? Why would she want to kill Brandon Hayes?
38:05She said she hated science, but the truth is, she hated Brandon.
38:08And you don't hate like that unless you've loved first.
38:11And he dumped her for Cooper's girlfriend.
38:24Dana Collins, you need to come with me and answer a few questions, please.
38:29I'm not sorry for what I did.
38:31Don't say anything until I read you your rights.
38:33I don't care.
38:34Okay.
38:34Brandon cheated me out of everything.
38:36So, you were the one the rumors were about.
38:38You helped Brandon with Snakefly.
38:42I was staying at his place one night, and I couldn't sleep, so I took another look at the algorithm.
38:47Brandon was having trouble debugging it, and so...
38:50So I fixed it!
38:52And now Snakefly is about to get his first round of financing, but did Brandon ever thank me?
38:58Or pay me for what I did?
39:02He dumped me instead, and I couldn't prove what I'd done, so...
39:08So I got as far away as I could from all of it.
39:11You should have told us.
39:12As if you'd believe me over him.
39:15At least the son of a bitch got what he deserved!
39:17You have the right to earn me, Simon.
39:19Anything you say, can or will be held against you in a court of law.
39:25Another situation ship gone wrong never ends well.
39:40Do you have a minute?
39:42Yeah.
39:42Any news?
39:43Well, the headline is that you're, you're a maid of honor, murdered the best man.
39:51I know.
39:52I'm still in shock.
39:53We all are.
39:55But Todd's a good guy.
39:56I mean, he's not perfect, but nobody's perfect.
39:58But if you love someone, you forgive them, and they forgive you.
40:02And you live happily ever after.
40:05More or less.
40:06Except if you get divorced.
40:08A few times.
40:10Just trust me.
40:12I wish I had done more forgiving.
40:16I think you should, too.
40:19We lost our friend Brandon today.
40:22And though we grieve, life and love go on.
40:26And so, you've pledged your love and commitment before God and these witnesses.
40:31You exchanged your vows and rings as a symbol of your sacred name.
40:36Are we good?
40:38We're good.
40:38May your marriage be blessed with kindness and compassion.
40:42With understanding and forgiveness.
40:45And enduring love.
40:46I need a favor.
40:47Go.
40:48Can you run a check on a person who disappeared 15 years ago?
40:52Like it did today.
40:53Get me a name.
40:54And I'll see what I can find out.
40:58By the power vested in me, I now pronounce you husband and wife.
41:03You may now kill the bride.
41:05Nope.
41:05Kiss, not kill.
41:07You may now kiss the bride.
41:09Oh, God.
41:15All right.
41:16Best running art.
41:19Got a couple revelations, baby.
41:22It's hard work getting.
41:23I can make some predictions for you.
41:27I sent you a safe, baby.
41:29Take me to the river.
41:30Take you to the mountain.
41:32I can't set you free.
41:34Time don't stop guiding.
41:35Winds are howling.
41:36Baby, come howling me.
41:39I'm tired.
41:39If you're born in the eyes, I don't care.
41:41I'm too tired.
41:42Want a piece of the pie, it's not shit.
41:44I've been drowning in lies, my dear.
41:46One, two, three, four.
41:48Call me Stella and the whole love.
41:51Stella and the whole love.
41:52I already told you.
41:55F-Chica, chica, chica.
41:57Clap back on me.
41:58Stella and the whole love.
42:00Stella and the whole love.
42:02I already told you.
42:05F-Chica, chica, chica.
42:07That's that.
42:11Oh, God.
42:14You.
42:16You.
42:17What's up.
42:18I got us.
42:18I got her.
