00:07I really am a brilliant detective, aren't I?
00:12One of the greatest.
00:13Ms. Marple, Jessica Fletcher, and Selena St. Clair.
00:18Why are you here, Selena?
00:20Because I want to know why you are ruining me,
00:23you commercial hack.
00:25Here we go.
00:25And now I have a sidekick who thinks she's smarter than I am.
00:29She's not smarter than you.
00:31I don't need a partner, Allison.
00:36Unless it's a different kind of partner.
00:41Jack.
00:42Allison.
00:43Why are you here?
00:45Well, I'm here because I have wanted you since the day I met you,
00:48and I think you've wanted the exact same thing.
00:54I don't know what you're talking about.
00:58So then, tell me to go.
01:02I think you should go.
01:03No.
01:09Oh.
01:11Oh.
01:13Oh.
01:34Oh, you're up early.
01:35I've been up all night.
01:36I hope it wasn't because you were sex-texting someone I know or gave birth to.
01:41The word is sexting, and actually I was doing research for our outline,
01:46which we only have four days left to write since you've completely blown off the first three.
01:50I haven't blown them off. I needed to buy a new car since my old one blew up.
01:53Which, you may remember, happened after the murder at my house.
01:57Which, you might recall, was after Nash Gilbert was pushed off a balcony.
02:02The point is none of that has anything to do with finding a murder for Selena and Raven Stone.
02:08Raven Stone?
02:09Selena's new assistant. The one that keeps her boss grounded in forensic reality.
02:14I don't remember naming her Raven Stone.
02:16Which is exactly why you and I are getting out of here for the next four days.
02:20Because if we stay, you're gonna end up taking up, like, Mandarin or something.
02:24I will be, I will be.
02:26And wait until the last second to spit something out.
02:30That's how I do it.
02:31Now we have to figure out how we're gonna do things together.
02:34I've made hotel reservations. You've got ten minutes to pack.
02:37I'm dissing Paris. Nothing gets my mind working like a trip through the Musée d'Orsay.
02:41As much as I'd love to use my French passport, I booked us something a little more local.
02:46You have a French passport?
02:48Nine minutes to pack.
03:04No, no, no, no, no.
03:06Uh-uh.
03:08In summer camp, I had a terrible experience with a sack of spider eggs.
03:13I'm gonna give you my credit card, and you're gonna find a place with more stars.
03:17Oh, I already used your credit card.
03:19Look at this place. It's perfect. There's nothing to do but write.
03:33Hello, ladies. Welcome to Granite Creek Chalet.
03:36You scored our two best cabins.
03:38Huh. The ones with running water and electricity.
03:41You even got your own in-room crapper. Just be sure to yank the chain hard.
03:45But not too hard.
03:46Oh. I had a dime for every time a guy said that to me.
03:49Hello. The keys are under the mats.
03:51Okay.
03:53Here you go.
03:55I told you it was perfect.
04:13Oh.
04:14Uh.
04:16How much lawn does that man have?
04:20Please focus.
04:26I can see Lady Belle landing.
04:30Oh.
04:34Oh, they've got patio dining and a pool.
04:40Oh.
04:42Right first, spa later. That was our deal.
04:53Come on. I've shown you like over a dozen homicides for inspiration and none of them have wowed you.
04:59Because we need a crime that builds the relationship between Selina and Rhonda.
05:04Raven.
05:04Raven.
05:05That's what I said.
05:05We need to find something that showcases the push and pull between them.
05:09A crime where they don't see eye to eye.
05:11Well, we don't see eye to eye, so that shouldn't be a problem.
05:16The problem is we don't really know who Raven is yet.
05:24Okay.
05:25Raven is smart.
05:28She's tough.
05:29She's been through a lot, hasn't she?
05:32Look, I'm not getting into the stuff about my mom if that's where you think this is going.
05:36It's compelling, Andy. Having a mother who not only disappears, but then erases all trace of her past.
05:44What do you mean by erases all trace of her past?
05:47Um, nothing. I was just, you know, building character. Like, riffing, it's what fiction writers do.
05:52We don't have to use any of it. Let's just get back to the murder, so...
05:55No. No, no, no, no, no, no. If you know something about my mom, I want you to spit it
05:59out.
06:00Fine. I asked Jack to do a little digging.
06:02You did what?
06:03Not only is there no record of Renee Walker since she disappeared, there's no record at all.
06:11No birth certificate. No nothing. It's like she never existed.
06:15I can't believe you'd intrude on my privacy like this.
06:18What privacy? You post Instagram photos of everything you eat.
06:23You tweeted about your UTI while you were giving a urine sample. Your entire life is on social media.
06:30Not this part of my life.
06:32I was just trying to help Andy.
06:36You weren't getting anywhere by yourself, and it has to be on your mind.
06:41It has to be because you bring that blanket that she made everywhere you go.
06:47How do you know my mom made that?
06:48First, it's obviously handmade because the stitches are not even. And it has a custom tag in the corner. And
06:56second, it's old because the yarn is starting to fuzz. And third, you just admitted it.
07:03I never asked you for your help.
07:05But you want to know what happened to her, don't you?
07:07Of course I do!
07:09Then what is the problem?
07:11You're the problem!
07:12Why am I the problem?
07:13Because you don't see me digging around in your private life like this.
07:16Oh, because my private life isn't private thanks to the internet.
07:18You don't hear me whining about it.
07:20What?
07:20I'm like, oh my god, you don't get it, do you?
07:30This is my cabin.
07:32You go.
07:34I am not going anywhere and you are not either.
07:36I need some privacy, I mean it.
07:38Okay, fine.
07:39Have it your way, but we still need a murder in it and it just needs to service the...
07:43Character and relationship, yeah, I know. See ya.
08:05Jack?
08:07That's right.
08:08You're staying here until you can find a place.
08:11Exactly.
08:12And you're here because...
08:14It's a long story.
08:17Well...
08:20I got time.
08:23What up?
08:24All right.
08:28That's mine.
08:30You're welcome.
08:36So my publisher wants a new Selena St. Cloud novel, No More True Crime.
08:41So we had to chuck everything and start over.
08:44Oh.
08:44And Andy thinks that I will concentrate better away from the distractions of my home.
08:49Good plan.
08:50I don't know about that.
08:51Oh, I do.
08:52Your life is so filled with distractions.
08:54Honestly, I have no idea how you get anything done.
08:56Sometimes I think it's a part of my process.
08:58Like, not thinking about something is the best way to think about it.
09:04The more I try to not think about something, the more I do.
09:12Something like what?
09:13Are you and Andy getting work done?
09:16No.
09:19I told her about what you found out about her mother.
09:22And now she's mad at me because I didn't respect her privacy.
09:25Oh.
09:26But she said she had a French passport.
09:27So I thought maybe the mom was born in France.
09:30I'm guessing you didn't check the international database.
09:33I did not.
09:34But you could.
09:35Mm-hmm.
09:36But see, I'm no psychologist.
09:38Oh.
09:38But it occurs to me that if Andy wants you to stay out of this...
09:41I'm already on her shit list.
09:43Oh.
09:43I got nothing to lose.
09:45She really wants to know what happened to her mom.
09:47And so do you, for some reason.
09:50The question is, why?
09:52I like a good mystery.
09:53That's not why.
09:54Okay, fine.
09:55A shrink would say, she's the daughter I never had.
09:58Or my mom never helped me.
10:00I don't know.
10:00Could be either.
10:02Or both.
10:05Hey, Dave.
10:08You starting your final walkthrough?
10:10Uh, with you here, I don't know why I bother.
10:13It's like having free armed security.
10:15See ya.
10:24Pool.
10:25Pool.
10:28Pool.
10:36You didn't answer my question.
10:38You must have missed it.
10:40Oh.
10:40You don't miss anything.
10:42It's the exact opposite of what you say to me
10:43every time you stumble into one of my crime scenes.
10:45Hm.
10:50So are you gonna tell me the thing
10:51that you can't stop thinking about?
10:55Oh.
11:03Oh, oh, my God.
11:06Oh.
11:07Oh.
11:10Oh.
11:10Shit.
11:11Shit, shit, shit, shit, shit, shit, shit.
11:17Hey!
11:17Oh.
11:18Oh.
11:19Stop murder!
11:20Oh, oh.
11:21Oh, God.
11:21What the hell is wrong with you?
11:23I didn't see the killer.
11:24I just saw the necktie going around the victim's deck.
11:26It's too straggled to death.
11:27Hope I'm not being too forward.
11:29Where?
11:30On your thigh.
11:30What? No, where?
11:31Where did you see a murderer?
11:32Lady Bell Landing.
11:33Third floor up.
11:34Maybe second or third window over.
11:35Also, Jack, what are you doing here?
11:37I know.
11:37I asked myself the same question.
11:39How could you see a murderer at Lady Bell Landing from here?
11:41I had binoculars.
11:42You were peeping into people's windows?
11:44The point is, there's a guy dead, so we should probably hurry.
11:47Are you sure you didn't just nod off while you were typing?
11:49I wasn't dreaming.
11:51I saw a dark blue bedspread and two hideous lamps and a phallic painting of a lighthouse.
11:57But most importantly, I saw a guy getting strangled to death with a striped tie.
12:01Okay, okay, we'll check it out, but let me handle it.
12:03Okay.
12:24Easy, Nancy Drew.
12:25Oh, morning.
12:27Yes, what time is it?
12:28Hot breakfast in a few moments.
12:30What's gone?
12:31No, no, it's not yet morning.
12:32I'm sorry to disturb you.
12:33I'm Detective Jack Kerrigan.
12:35Oh, dear.
12:35Is there something wrong?
12:36We have a report of a violent incident in one of the upstairs rooms.
12:40Not another raccoon in the laundry chute.
12:42More like a homicide.
12:43Oh, thank goodness.
12:45Those raccoons are impossible to get rid of.
12:48Okay, well, we need to check it out.
12:49Is that okay?
12:50Oh, certainly.
12:51But you should know, this is more of a weekend getaway spot.
12:55We don't do homicides here.
12:56It's always the first time.
13:00Okay, this has got to be the one.
13:02The second window over.
13:03Oh, it's registered to Kim Morrison.
13:06Right.
13:08Ms. Morrison.
13:12Oh, oh wow.
13:14Is this because I didn't pay for the mini bar snacks?
13:16What?
13:17No, it's because of the-
13:18No, it's because of the corpse in your room.
13:20Did you say corpse?
13:21Oh, forget my friend.
13:22She's prone to night terrors.
13:24Uh, this is, this is the wrong room.
13:28It's got to be the next one over.
13:29Okay.
13:30Did you happen to hear or see anything disturbing this evening?
13:32No.
13:33Did something happen?
13:34It's got to be this one.
13:35Is it safe to stay here?
13:36Look, we don't foresee any cause for concern at this point.
13:39Sorry for disturbing you, Ms. Morrison.
13:40Hey!
13:41Hey!
13:41It's this one.
13:42I was off by one window.
13:43You can't just go barging into people's rooms
13:44uninvited like that.
13:45You can't, but I can.
13:46Room 309.
13:47It's empty.
13:48They've not checked in yet.
13:50Great.
13:53This is the room.
13:55Okay, he was standing right there.
13:57Where's the body?
13:59It's, it's got to be here somewhere.
14:02No sign of a struggle.
14:03Nothing in the bathroom?
14:04Nope.
14:05Okay.
14:06Okay, the body's gone.
14:07But I know what I saw.
14:08Check for DNA.
14:08You've got to find something.
14:09Okay, let's, uh, let's just be logical about this.
14:12The last thing I told you was to come up with a murder.
14:15So you fell asleep and you dreamt one up.
14:18And I'm telling you, I saw a murder.
14:22I'll call CSU and tell them we have a nobody on the side.
14:25If anything happened in this room, they'll find it.
14:51Did you find anything?
14:53Nothing.
14:54You didn't find anything?
14:56No evidence that a murder occurred in that room or that that room was recently scrubbed.
15:01Nothing.
15:02So you both think I'm crazy?
15:03No, I mean, no.
15:05Of course not.
15:06Look, it was late at night.
15:07Could this be exhaustion?
15:08No, it wasn't.
15:10I was awake.
15:11I saw him die.
15:13You think I'm making this up, don't you?
15:14No, no.
15:15I believe you believe it.
15:19But are you taking the poly, you know, like in the club?
15:23Like, wakey, wakey, wakey, wakey, wakey.
15:25It's Molly.
15:27And no, I'm not.
15:34It's not a bad idea if Selena and her assistant are at odds over a case where there's no body.
15:40But there was a body.
15:42That's the whole point.
15:43Exactly.
15:44That's exactly what Raven can say to Selena.
15:46Raven has a lot she can say to Selena.
15:49Come on.
15:50We're not getting anything done.
15:51We've been at it all morning.
15:53We need to do something different.
15:55I'm not learning Mandarin.
15:58We're going clamming.
15:59What?
16:00We are going clamming.
16:01What?
16:02Ew, no.
16:03Yes, yes, yes.
16:04Please.
16:05Trust me.
16:05I used to do it as a kid.
16:07And when we get back, I'll fix this Avangali.
16:10To die for.
16:12Nobody's going to die.
16:12You're not going to shut up about this until I agree to go, are you?
16:15No.
16:21You got everything you need, huh?
16:23Waiters.
16:25Buckets.
16:25I even got a laminated tie chart.
16:29Clamming's the reason I bought this place.
16:31Oh, well, it brings back memories for me.
16:34My grandpa used to eat the clams right out of the shop.
16:36Oh, that's the part I'm going to miss the most.
16:38So, what?
16:40Moving to Florida?
16:41No, it's time.
16:42I sold out to a hotel chain.
16:44I'm looking forward to year-round sun, shuffleboard, no more septic issues.
16:49Have fun, huh?
16:51We will.
16:52All right.
16:58And then the water comes, and oh, oh, look at that baby, huh?
17:09Mm-hmm.
17:10You've got to admit that this is a lot better than arguing.
17:13Oh, stop it.
17:14Oh, I'm so sorry.
17:15I lost my balance.
17:15No, no worries.
17:17I'm a little steady on my feet, too.
17:19It's the time.
17:20Yeah.
17:21Hey, are you Alison Chandler, the author of the Selina St. Cloud novels?
17:26Not lately.
17:26Yes, I am.
17:28We're here on a writer's retreat.
17:29We're trying to get an outline done, as you can probably tell.
17:33Well, I love Selina, so keep up the great work.
17:36Bye.
17:38Bye.
17:39You should follow her advice.
17:40And you should give this a try.
17:42That's not going to happen.
17:44I'm going to try right over here.
17:45Whoa!
17:46Whoa!
17:48Whoa!
17:49Whoa!
17:50Whoa!
17:51Oh, that's a guy who's so circle.
17:53Oh.
17:54Oh.
17:54Wow.
17:55This is so going in the book.
18:07The deceased is George Slate, the
18:10truck and trailer registered to him.
18:12Found his boat washed up about a mile north,
18:14and two suitcases in the truck with clothes and toiletries.
18:18This was in his pocket.
18:22Lady Belt Landing, room 309.
18:24Oh, my God.
18:25He was there, just like I said.
18:27Well, how did he end up sleeping with the clamps?
18:30We don't know.
18:31Still working on that.
18:35Hey.
18:36How tall was Slate?
18:38Six feet.
18:38Okay, then he didn't drive this car here.
18:41Whoever did was five, five tops.
18:43And you know that because?
18:44Well, look, the seats pushed all the way forward.
18:46The wheels tilted down.
18:47It's all wrong for someone six foot.
18:52Okay, so who drove him here and from where?
18:54I don't know who, but it had to be from the hotel.
19:02It's just awful.
19:04I mean, Mr. Slate came here every year.
19:08He loved fishing.
19:09Not so surprised that he stopped on his way.
19:13But you're sure that he never checked in?
19:14Yes.
19:15How did he end it with the key to room 309 in his pocket?
19:18Well, he owns the place.
19:19He has the keys to all the rooms.
19:21But that room was his particular favorite.
19:24Oh, really?
19:25Never mentioned that before.
19:26Well, you didn't ask, did you, dear?
19:28Does anyone else have keys to the rooms?
19:30Only Mr. Slate.
19:32And myself, of course.
19:34What will happen now that he's gone?
19:37Do you think I'll still have my toe?
19:39I really don't know, ma'am.
19:40Would you put in a good word for me?
19:43With who?
19:44Mr. Slate.
19:46He's dead, ma'am.
19:49That's right.
19:52So soft.
20:00Excuse me.
20:01Hello.
20:03Maybe George Slate actually was here last night.
20:07Not maybe.
20:08He was.
20:08I saw him.
20:09Hey, I don't mean to be a busybody,
20:11but did you find the thing you were looking for?
20:14The corpse washed up on the clamming beach this morning.
20:17Oh, no.
20:18Are they going to cancel the Flea Fest?
20:20The what?
20:21Uh, Founders Flea Festival.
20:22It's an antiquing thing that happens every year.
20:25I never miss it.
20:26I'm sorry.
20:27I couldn't help overhearing.
20:29And you are?
20:29Seth Atkins.
20:30I'm here for the festival, too.
20:32Please tell me that it's not being canceled.
20:34No worries.
20:34It's still on.
20:35So you two are antique hunters, huh?
20:38It's my passion.
20:39For me, it's more like an addiction.
20:41I bet you two are looking for one of those 1939 Founders Cove Rolltop desks.
20:46They're really hard to find.
20:48Guilty as charged.
20:49The Holy Grail.
20:50I'm sorry.
20:50Did you say that someone drowned at the beach today?
20:53No one drowned.
20:54They were murdered.
20:57Oh.
21:01Okay.
21:02Hear me out.
21:03Kim was the right size to have driven George's truck.
21:05She's on the short side for strangling a man from behind and carrying a body.
21:09Well, Seth could have strangled him and then helped her move the body.
21:12They would have had to pass Wilma, but she's got the keys to everything.
21:15You know, she may be sharper than she lets on.
21:17Who's Seth?
21:18Seth Atkins, the guy who overheard us talking to Kim at the hotel.
21:21Sorry.
21:21Do you think that Kim and Seth are in on this together?
21:23Oh, they're together.
21:24They're so together.
21:25How do you know that?
21:26Body language.
21:27Kim and Seth were standing fewer than three feet apart,
21:30which is unusual for people who don't know each other.
21:34And they subconsciously married each other's gestures, which is a dead giveaway.
21:40Not only that, they're lying about why they're here.
21:43There is no such thing as the Founders Cove Rolltop desks.
21:47So the real question is, what's really going on?
21:50And why are they trying so hard to pretend they're not together?
21:53Even if all of that is true, it does not make them killers.
21:56All I know is that they are hiding something.
22:00Maybe if you do a little digging.
22:05Are you guys supposed to be working?
22:09Work.
22:14Raven sees the murder in Chapter 5.
22:17No.
22:18No, no, no, no, no.
22:19I say we don't hold back.
22:21Let's drop the body in Chapter 1.
22:24You hook an audience that way.
22:27Got a lot of fiction.
22:28Okay, the problem is, Selena doesn't know Raven all that well.
22:32How does she know she can trust her?
22:34How does Raven know she can trust Selena?
22:36Selena has more experience.
22:38Raven has new ideas.
22:40Not all of them good ideas.
22:42Selena can't always be the smartest person in the room.
22:45No, but she can.
22:47Her name is on the cover.
22:49Oh, why are we getting anything done?
22:51I just typed three pages in the last five minutes.
22:54It's because you've been holding down the space bar.
22:58Oh.
23:02Hey, Dave.
23:10It's the only thing keeping me awake right now.
23:14Something's got to be wrong.
23:15Even if we just have a good old nap.
23:18Why are we both so tired?
23:20It's like we've been drunk.
23:21All I ate was a candy bar.
23:24Is it something in the air?
23:27We'd smell gas if the stove was on.
23:29Oh.
23:30Oh, my God.
23:31Handy.
23:32The mower.
23:34Oh, the exhaust from the mowers.
23:36Carbon monoxide.
23:38It's odorless.
23:40Oh, my God.
23:41Open that door.
23:48What's wrong?
23:49It's stuck.
23:50What?
23:51Oh, shit.
23:53Oh.
23:57Oh, my God.
23:59Allie, it's the window's nailed shut.
24:02Oh.
24:04I'm sorry for what happened yesterday.
24:06I really didn't need to make you upset about your mom.
24:09Wait, wait.
24:09Are you apologizing to me right now because you think we're gonna die?
24:13I'm just covering my ass in case.
24:14I'm sorry, too.
24:15I got really mad at you.
24:18Allie?
24:20Allie!
24:20No!
24:22Sorry, you were falling asleep.
24:26No, no, no, no.
24:28I'm not falling asleep.
24:29Okay.
24:31I had a sex room about Jack.
24:33I wasn't falling asleep.
24:35Why are you telling me that?
24:37I just want someone to know in cases, isn't it?
24:43Not today.
24:53What was that?
24:54I don't know.
24:55Everything okay in there?
24:59Somewhere jammed the latch.
25:14Andy!
25:16Andy!
25:24Oh, well, thanks, man.
25:26Yeah, you took a big risk going back in there.
25:28Proud of you.
25:28Uh, so, what happened?
25:32Someone just tried to get rid of the only evidence that
25:35the site was killed at the hotel.
25:37The eyewitness.
25:43So it looks like someone ran a hose from the tailpipe of the mower to the vent under the cabin.
25:47Any prints?
25:48We'll dust the mower and let you know.
25:51Yep, good.
26:00This is my fault.
26:01I keep that lawnmower outside.
26:03I should have locked it in the shed.
26:05Well, no one's ever tried to steal it before.
26:07No one's blaming you, Dave.
26:08Oh, sweet.
26:12So, what did the MAs say about Sleight?
26:14What?
26:17What did the medical examiner say about Sleight?
26:20She confirmed he was strangled.
26:21And he had severe cervical vertebrae decay.
26:24At the bottom of his suitcase, we found this.
26:28That's the necktie.
26:29That's the murder weapon.
26:30That's what I thought.
26:31Did you find anything out about Wilma?
26:33Wilma's husband died a few years ago from carbon monoxide poisoning.
26:38That's a coincidence.
26:40Right?
26:40One more wrinkle.
26:41Sleight was not the sole owner of Lady Val Landing.
26:44There were two other investors.
27:03So, how's antiquing going?
27:06Kim found a Wallace Nutting hand-colored photograph today.
27:09Not a Nutting.
27:11Oh, I am undone.
27:13I wish I could be more excited, but I can't help thinking about what happened on the beach.
27:17Any news, detective?
27:19We identified the victim, George Sleight.
27:22Who?
27:23Don't pretend that you don't know George Sleight.
27:25He owned the hotel and you two were his partners.
27:29Silent partners.
27:30Silent partners who lied about tracking down a roll-top desk that doesn't actually exist.
27:38So, what's going on?
27:41It's...
27:43complicated.
27:45We're both married.
27:47Hmm.
27:47Just not to each other.
27:53This is our annual escape.
27:55This is where we first met and why we keep coming back.
27:58We bought a stake in the place so we'd have an excuse every year to come and check on our
28:01investment.
28:02Mostly, we did it so we'd always have the same room, the same time.
28:07No questions asked.
28:08We're romantics apart.
28:11Look, I'm not proud of what we're doing.
28:14But adultery isn't illegal.
28:16No.
28:17But murder sure is.
28:19And divorce costs a lot of dough.
28:21So if George threatened to reveal your dirty little secret...
28:24We didn't murder anyone.
28:25I feel terrible about George.
28:27He was the sweetest man.
28:28So you don't know anyone that would want to kill him?
28:31God, no.
28:32This may sound crazy, but have you talked to Wilma?
28:35George said he was going to leave her 25% of the place when he died.
28:38Maybe she got tired of waiting.
28:50Wilma.
28:51I hear congratulations are in order?
28:53On what?
28:54Thanks to George Slate, you now own 25% of this inn.
28:58I guess you don't have to worry about your future anymore.
29:01Well, at my age, dear, that really is all one worries about.
29:06You can certainly understand that, dear.
29:08Oh, I would, actually.
29:10Because I was nearly killed by carbon monoxide poisoning.
29:15It's the same way your husband died.
29:17Well, coincidentally, Slate was killed at this hotel.
29:20And his body was somehow moved.
29:22And then somehow his room was cleaned within 10 minutes.
29:25So, whoever did it must have had a cute belt around.
29:28Scone.
29:29They're egg rolls.
29:32I'll pass.
29:33Actually, I'll have them go tomorrow.
29:38They did it.
29:39Kim and Seth, they killed George Slate.
29:40Yeah, I'm with some help from Wilma.
29:43Okay, but until I can prove how they killed George Slate,
29:45I can't do anything about it.
29:46So, look, I think you two should head back to town.
29:49There's, yeah, there's absolutely no way.
29:51Because I knew you would say no to that.
29:54I've arranged for security.
29:58Great.
29:59See ya.
30:01I'll walk you down.
30:02Thanks.
30:02Well, actually, yeah.
30:05We could meet back at my place, have a glass of wine.
30:08Oh.
30:10Uh.
30:12Just wine.
30:14Yeah.
30:15Yeah, okay.
30:16Uh, yeah, yes.
30:17Okay.
30:18But I need an hour just to write some notes
30:22on the carbon monoxide thing, you know,
30:25for the novel and for the deadline.
30:28Okay.
30:29Take your time.
30:30Okay.
30:31Okay.
30:34Bye bye.
30:37Bye.
30:44Bye.
30:45Let's go.
31:31Where are you going?
31:32Getting some air.
31:34Not alone, you're not.
31:50Any work done?
31:51Some.
31:52Uh-huh.
31:53But I'll probably rewrite it all tomorrow morning.
31:57Right.
32:00There you go.
32:03You're welcome.
32:06Okay, we're looking for loose floorboard, a secret compartment, maybe a hidden room,
32:14anywhere Mr. and Mrs. Death could have hidden a body.
32:16Let's do this right.
32:17I'm not used to a man bringing protection.
32:27You look very nice tonight.
32:29Oh, thank you.
32:31I mean, I just, yes.
32:34Yeah.
32:36All right.
32:40Yep.
32:44Now, what are you looking for?
32:45Just checking to see if maybe the ceiling is a little bit hollow so they can just hide a body
32:51up here.
32:52Be careful.
32:53Be careful.
32:53Be careful.
32:57So, uh, should we talk about the case?
33:02Oh, I'd rather think about it without talking about it.
33:09Um, look at that.
33:14What am I looking at?
33:16Wait, wait.
33:20Look, there's a patch under this painting that's a different color than the rest of the wall.
33:24That's because the painting protected it from getting bleached by the sun.
33:27Okay, sure, but this patch, this is smaller than the actual painting hanging here.
33:37Look at this nightstand.
33:38It was also bleached by the sun, but the base of this lamp is square, not round.
33:41So there was another lamp there.
33:45I know how they did it.
33:48Look, about what happened the first time.
33:52What happened the first time?
33:54Well, I mean, it didn't happen, but it could have happened.
33:56I mean, but then you spilled the drink.
33:57I mean, maybe I spilled it, but.
33:58You spilled it.
33:59And I tried cleaning it off of you and trying to help you and wipe it off your pants,
34:03and that must have made you feel really uncomfortable, and I'm just.
34:10Look, you know what I think?
34:12I know how they did it!
34:14Oh!
34:15Oh!
34:16Oh!
34:17Incoming!
34:18Again?
34:19Well, I'm officially out of pants.
34:21They didn't move the body.
34:22What are you talking about?
34:24They switched the room.
34:25The reason there was no evidence of the murder in room 309 is because it didn't happen there.
34:29Slate was strangled in room 308, just like Andy said he was.
34:33Kim's room.
34:34The room we saw first.
34:35What fooled me was that none of the furnishings matched.
34:37Wait, you're saying they swapped everything?
34:41The phallic painting and the lamps and the bedspread with stuff from room 309?
34:46Slate's body was probably still in Kim's room when CSU was going through room 309.
34:52Exactly.
34:53So after we all left, Kim and Seth moved George's body, probably in a laundry cart, down to George's truck,
34:59which Kim drove to the boat launch, and then they dumped his body in the water.
35:02When they came back to Kim's room, they scrubbed the place clean to get rid of the evidence, and Wilma
35:07probably helped them.
35:08Yep.
35:09Exactly.
35:10Case closed.
35:12Go make the arrest.
35:14I can't make the arrest with that.
35:15Not in these pants.
35:16Why not?
35:17They're all wet.
35:18No, the arrest.
35:19There's no physical evidence.
35:20Have you not been listening to anything?
35:22We've got more than enough evidence.
35:24Maybe in one of your books.
35:25Not in real life.
35:26We don't even have enough for a search warrant.
35:28So what happens now, then?
35:30Now I'll try to prove they're guilty in some other way, but it's not going to happen overnight.
35:33Or ever.
35:34Right?
35:35Even though you have an actual eyewitness?
35:36We need physical evidence, and I need to change these pants.
35:46Back to my post.
35:48Night.
36:01So, you going to tell me what happened with Jack?
36:03Nothing happened with Jack.
36:05Okay, all right.
36:07Are you kidding me?
36:08You had a sex dream about him.
36:10And now you're having drinks together?
36:12I think that you should go for it.
36:14Okay, it was a glass of wine, and you're crazy.
36:17Selina saying Cloud would go for it.
36:19Selina is a character in a book.
36:22Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait.
36:24Jack said that Slate had a problem with his neck even before he got strangled.
36:29One of my ex-husbands had the same thing.
36:32Cervical vertebrae decay.
36:33Okay.
36:34He used to have to travel with some special pillow, but Jack said that there was luggage with just clothing.
36:40So you think that George left his special pillow in the hotel room?
36:43Okay, maybe this sounds crazy, and I know it's the whole life imitating art thing, but I wrote something for
36:49Selina that I think that we could use to trap these two adulterous antikers.
36:55Great.
36:56I'm in.
36:57You don't want to hear it so you can criticize it?
36:59No.
37:00It's time to go rogue, baby.
37:01Okay.
37:15Well, Ma.
37:16Oh, um, can we talk to you in private?
37:20What's that for me?
37:21Okay.
37:27What kind of pillows do you use in your hotel?
37:30Down, of course.
37:32No secret there.
37:33Six hundred and fifty fill.
37:35Not a featherless.
37:36You know, my mother used to make us down pillows.
37:40Ah, from the ducks we ate.
37:42Oh.
37:43Well, I've never slept on something that I've ate.
37:46Oh.
37:47The thing is, Wilma, we think the two of your guests murdered George Slate, but they made a grave error
37:52that's going to put them away for good.
37:53Well, what sort of error?
37:55When they were clearing George's room of his things, they forgot that he has a very special neck pillow that
37:59he travels with.
38:00And it was in a pillowcase, so they probably didn't even know it was there.
38:04If you can find it, it's proof the police need to put them away.
38:07Oh.
38:08Oh, but be careful.
38:09And call Jack Kerrigan at the sheriff's office right away.
38:12Jack, yes, sheriff.
38:14Yes.
38:15Hello.
38:15Yes.
38:19Yes.
38:20Sheriff.
38:21Jack.
38:24Hello.
38:30All of this, just to get out of a bad marriage.
38:33Frankly, I don't understand why people even get married anymore.
38:36Oh, I don't know.
38:37Love, companionship, security.
38:41Yeah, you can get all of that without entering into a culturally imposed monogamy that is so inherently suffocating that
38:47people will resort to murder to break the shackles.
38:50I call bullshit.
38:51I just can't keep their zippers zipped.
38:53I gotta pee.
38:54Why are you coming back here?
38:55I'll just be a minute.
38:58What are you going to use to wipe?
39:00You don't want to know.
39:01Oh.
39:03You're supposed to pee before a stakeout.
39:06Oh, for God's sake.
39:08Here they come.
39:10It worked.
39:11The pillow must be in the suitcase.
39:13And they're going to ditch it in the woods.
39:15Will you hurry up?
39:17I'm coming.
39:18Oh, jeez.
39:22Super.
39:26Was Wilma with them?
39:27Wilma wasn't in on it.
39:29Lady, this is no time for any end reason.
39:31I figured it out when I saw Kim and Seth.
39:34And then I yelled at you to hurry.
39:35Not fault me.
39:36I warned you that something was happening.
39:38The same way that somebody saw you with the binoculars and then warned Kim and Seth.
39:43That's why they switched the rooms.
39:44Okay, but who would have seen me?
39:46Oh, it would have to be Dave.
39:47Dave, he was doing his security rounds and he was on his way to your cabin.
39:51He had to have called them.
39:52So the whole carbon monoxide thing, that was him too?
39:54Yes.
39:55Well, why did he try to save us?
39:57Because of Jack.
39:57He wanted to make sure he was ruled out as a suspect.
39:59Okay, but that doesn't explain why he'd want to kill George Slate.
40:02Dave was selling Granite Creek, remember, to some big hotel chain.
40:06My guess is that the same developer needs both properties,
40:09the Lady Bell Landing and the Granite Creek cabins,
40:12to build one big resort or the deal's off.
40:14And Slate wouldn't sell, so it ruined the deal for everyone.
40:16Exactly.
40:21Yeah, aren't you a couple of smart cookies?
40:28Maybe a little too smart.
40:29Just take it easy, okay?
40:31Oh, honey, I don't think you're in any position to be calling the shots right now.
40:44Freeze!
40:48Hey, is everybody alright?
40:50Yeah.
40:51Oh.
40:52You just saved our lives.
