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.
01:03Oh.
01:05Oh.
01:12Wow.
01:34you're up early I've been up all night I hope it wasn't because you were sex texting someone I
01:39know or gave birth to the word sexting and actually I was doing research for our outline which we only
01:46have four days left to write since you've completely blown off the first three I haven't blown them off
01:51I needed to buy a new car since my old one blew up which you may remember happened after the
01:56murder
01:56at my house which you might recall was after Nash Gilbert was pushed off a balcony the point is
02:03none of that has anything to do with finding a murder for Selena and Ravenstone Ravenstone
02:09Selena's new assistant one that keeps her boss grounded in forensic reality I don't remember
02:15naming her Ravenstone which 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 and wait until the last
02:28second to spit something out that's how I do it now we have to figure out how we're gonna do
02:33things
02:33together I've made hotel reservations you've got 10 minutes to pack I'm guessing Paris nothing gets
02:38my mind working like a trip through the Musée d'Orsay as much as I'd love to use my French
02:43passport
02:43I booked us something a little more local you have a French passport nine minutes to pack
03:04no no no no no no uh-uh in summer camp I had a terrible experience with a sack of
03:12spider 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 look at this place it's it's perfect there's nothing to do but write
03:33oh hello ladies welcome to Granite Creek Chalet you scored our two best cabins huh the ones with
03:39running water and electricity you got your own in-room crapper just be sure to yank the chain hard
03:44but not too hard oh I had a dime for every time a guy said that to me hello the
03:50keys are under the
03:50match okay here you go I told you it was perfect
04:15how much lawn does that man have please focus
04:27I can see lady bell landing oh oh they've got patio dining and the pool
04:41oh right 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 Selena and Rhonda
05:04Raven that's what I said we need to find something that showcases the the push and pull between them
05:09uh a 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
05:16okay the problem is we don't really know who Raven is yet
05:24okay Raven is smart she's tough and she's been through a lot hasn't she look I'm not getting
05:33into the stuff about my mom if that's where you think this is going it's compelling Andy having a
05:39mother who not only disappears but then erases all trace of her past what do you mean by erases all
05:45trace of her past um nothing I was just you know building character like riffing it's what fiction
05:51writers do we don't have to use any of it let's just get back to the murder so no no
05:56no no if you
05:57know something about my mom I want you to spit it out fine I asked Jack to do a little
06:02digging you
06:02did what not only is there no record of Renee Walker since she disappeared there's no record
06:10at all no birth certificate no nothing it's like she never existed I can't believe you didn't shoot
06:16on my privacy like this what privacy you post Instagram photos of everything you eat you tweeted
06:24about your UTI while you were giving a urine sample your entire life is on social media not this part
06:31of
06:31my life I was just trying to help Andy you weren't getting anywhere by yourself and it has to be
06:39on
06:40your mind it has to be because you bring that blanket that she made everywhere you go how do you
06:47know my
06:47mom made that first it's obviously handmade because the stitches are not even and it has a custom tag in
06:55the corner and second it's old because the yarn is starting to fuzz and third you just admitted it
07:02I never asked you for your help but you want to know what happened to her don't you of course
07:08I do
07:09then what is the problem you're the problem why I'm a problem because you don't see me digging around in
07:15your private life like oh because my private life isn't private thanks to the internet you don't
07:19hear me whining about it what oh my god you don't get it do you this is my cabin you
07:32go I am not going
07:35anywhere and you are not either I need some privacy I mean it okay fine have it your way but
07:39we still
07:40need a murder in it and it just needs to service character and relationship yeah I know see ya
08:06Jack that's right you're staying here until you
08:10you can find a place exactly and you're here because it's a long story well I got time
08:23why don't all right yeah that's mine thank you so my publisher wants a new Salina St. Cloud novel no
08:40more
08:40true crime so we had to chuck everything and start over oh and Andy thinks that I will
08:45concentrate better away from the distractions of my home good plan I don't know about that oh I do
08:52your life is so filled with distractions honestly I have no idea how you get anything done sometimes
08:56I think it's a part of my process like not thinking about something is the best way to think about
09:01it
09:04the more I try to not think about something the more I do
09:12something like what are you and Andy getting work done no I told her about what you found out
09:21about her mother and now she's mad at me because I didn't respect her privacy oh but she said she
09:26had a
09:27French passport so I thought maybe the mom was born in France I'm guessing you didn't check the
09:32international database I did not but you could mm-hmm but see I'm no psychologist oh but it occurs to
09:39me that if Andy wants you to stay out of this I'm already on her shit list oh I got
09:43nothing to lose
09:45she really wants to know what happened to her mom and so do you for some reason the question is
09:50why
09:51I like a good mystery that's not why okay fine a shrink would say she's the daughter I never had
09:57or
09:58my mom never helped me I don't know it could be either or both hey Dave yeah you starting your
10:09final walkthrough uh with you here I don't know why I bother it's like having free armed security see ya
10:24a pool pool pool pool pool you didn't answer my question you must have missed it you don't miss
10:41anything it's the exact opposite of what you say to me every time you stumble into one of my crime
10:49scenes so are you going to tell me the thing that you can't stop thinking about oh oh my god
11:18I saw a murder oh god what the hell is wrong with you I didn't see the killer I just
11:24saw the necktie
11:25going around the victim's deck and he was strangled to death hope I'm not being too forward where on
11:30your thigh what no where where did you see a murderer lady bell landing third floor up maybe
11:34second or third window over also Jack what are you doing here I know I asked myself the same
11:38question how could you see a murderer lady bell landing from here I have binoculars you're peeping
11:43into people's windows the point is there's a guy dead so we should probably hurry are you sure you
11:47didn't just nod off while you were typing I wasn't dreaming I saw a dark blue bed spread and two
11:53hideous
11:53lamps and an an ephalic painting of a lighthouse but most importantly I saw a guy getting strangled to
11:59death with a striped tie okay okay we'll check it out but let me handle it okay
12:23easy
12:24Nancy Drew
12:25oh morning yes what time is it hot breakfast in a few moments what's gone no no it's not yet
12:31morning I'm sorry to disturb you I'm detective Jack Kerrigan oh dear is there something wrong
12:36oh we have a report of a violent incident in one of the upstairs rooms not another raccoon in the
12:41laundry chute more like a homicide oh thank goodness those raccoons are impossible to get rid of oh yeah
12:48well we need to check it out is that okay oh certainly but you should know this is more of
12:52a weekend
12:53getaway spot we don't do homicides here it's always a first time okay this has got to be the one
13:02second
13:02window over oh it's registered to uh Kim Morrison all right it's Morrison oh oh wow is this because I
13:15I didn't pay for the mini bar snacks what no it's no it's because of the corpse in your room
13:20did you say corpse oh forget my friend she's prone to night terrors ah this is this is the wrong
13:27room it's got to be the next one over okay did you happen to hear or see anything disturbing this
13:32evening no did something happen it's gotta be this one is it safe to stay here look we don't foresee
13:37any cause for concern at this point sorry for disturbing you miss Morrison hey hey this one
13:41I was off by one window you can't just go barging into people's rooms uninvited like that you can't
13:45but I can room 309 it's empty they've not checked in yet great this is the room okay he was
13:55standing
13:55right there where's the body it's gotta be here somewhere no sign of a struggle nothing in the
14:04bathroom no okay okay the body's gone but I know what I saw check for DNA you've got to find
14:09something
14:09okay let's uh let's just be logical about this the last thing I told you was to come up with
14:14a murder
14:14so you fell asleep and you dreamt one up and I'm telling you I saw a murder I'll call CSU
14:23and tell
14:23them we have a nobody on the side if anything happened in this room they'll find it
14:51did you find anything nothing you didn't find anything no evidence that a murder occurred in that
14:58room or that that room was recently scrubbed nothing so you both think I'm crazy no I mean
15:04of course not look it was late at night could this be exhaustion no it wasn't I was awake I
15:11saw him die

15:21the poly you know like in the club like wakey wakey wakey wakey it's molly and 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 that's the whole point exactly that's exactly what Raven can say to Selena
15:46Raven has a lot she can say to Selena oh come on we're not getting anything done we've been at
15:52it
15:52all morning we need to do something different I'm not learning Mandarin we're going clamming what

17:53oh oh oh this is so going in the book
18:07the deceased is George Slate the truck and trailer registered to him found his boat washed
18:13up about a mile north and two suitcases in the truck with uh clothes and toiletries this
18:20was in his pocket lady bell landing room 309 oh my god he was there just like I said well
18:27how did
18:27he end up sleeping with the clamps we don't know still working on that hey how tall was Slate six
18:38feet
18:38okay then he didn't drive this car here whoever did was five five tops and you know that because well
18:44look the seats pushed all the way forward the wheels tilted down it's all wrong for someone six
18:48foot okay so who drove him here and from where I don't know who but had to be from the
18:57hotel
19:02it's just awful I mean Mr. Slate came here every year he loved fishing not so surprised that he stopped
19:12on his way but you're sure that he never checked in yes how did he end up with the key
19:16to room 309
19:17in his pocket well he owns the place he has the keys to all the rooms that room was his
19:22particular
19:23favorite oh really never mentioned that before well you didn't ask did you dear does anyone else
19:29have keys to the rooms only Mr. Slate and myself of course what will happen now that he's gone
19:37do you think I'll still have my toe I really don't know ma'am would you put in a good
19:41word for me
19:43with who Mr. Slate he's dead ma'am that's right
19:52so soft
20:00excuse me hello
20:03maybe George Slate actually was here last night not maybe he was I saw him hey I don't mean to
20:11be a
20:11busybody but did you find the thing you were looking for the corpse washed up on the clamming
20:16beach this morning oh no are they gonna cancel the flea fest the what uh founders flea festival
20:22it's a it's an antiquing thing that happens every year I never miss it I'm sorry I couldn't help
20:28overhearing and you are Seth Atkins I'm here for the festival too please tell me that it's not being
20:33canceled no worries still on so you two are antique hunters huh it's my passion for me it's more like
20:41an addiction I bet you two are looking for one of those 1939 founders cove rolltop desks they're
20:47really hard to find guilty as charged the holy grail I'm sorry did you say that someone drowned at the
20:52beach today no one drowned they were murdered oh
21:02okay hear me out Kim was the right size to have driven George's truck she's on the short side for
21:06strangling a man from behind and carrying a body well Seth could have strangled him and then helped her
21:11move the body they would have had to pass Wilma but she's got the keys to everything you know she
21:16may be sharper than she lets on who Seth Seth Atkins the guy who overheard us talking to Kim at
21:20the hotel
21:21sorry do you think that Kim and Seth are in on this together oh they're together they're so together
21:25how do you know that body language Kim and Seth we're standing fewer than three feet apart which
21:31is unusual for people who don't know each other and they subconsciously married each other's gestures
21:38which is a dead giveaway not only that they're lying about why they're here there is no such thing
21:44as the founders cove or all top desks so the real question is what's really going on and why are
21:50they trying so hard to pretend they're not together even if all of that is true it does not make
21:55them killers all I know is that they are hiding something maybe if you do a little digging
22:05are you guys supposed to be working
22:09work
22:14Raven sees the murder in chapter five
22:17no no no no no I say we don't hold back
22:20uh let's drop the body in chapter one
22:23you hook an audience that way
22:26I love fiction
22:27okay the problem is Selena doesn't know Raven all that well how does she know she can trust her
22:34how does Raven know she can trust Selena Selena has more experience Raven has new ideas not all of
22:41them good ideas Selena can't always be the smartest person in the room no but she can her name is
22:48on the
22:48cover oh why are we getting anything done I 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
23:07oh is he ever gonna stop mowing
23:11it's the only thing keeping me awake right now
23:13something's gotta be wrong
23:15maybe if we just have a good old nap
23:17why are we both so tired
23:19mmm it's like we've been drugged
23:21oh it was a candy bar

23:29oh
23:29oh my god
23:31Andy
23:32mmm
23:32the mower
23:33oh the exhaust from the mowers
23:36carbon monoxide

23:48what's wrong

24:01oh
24:03no
24:03I'm sorry for what happened yesterday
24:06I really didn't need to make you upset
24:08about your mouth
24:09wait wait are you
24:10you 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
24:18Ali
24:20Ali
24:20no
24:22oh
24:22sorry you were falling asleep
24:26no no no
24:28oh
24:28I'm not falling asleep
24:29okay
24:31I had a sex room about Jack
24:33oh
24:33I wasn't falling asleep
24:35Ari
24:36why are you telling me that
24:37I just want someone to know in case this isn't it
24:43not today
24:44what was that I don't know
24:55everything okay in there
24:59somewhere jammed the latch
25:13oh
25:14Andy
25:23oh
25:24thanks man
25:25Yeah, you took a big risk going back in there, probably.
25:31So, 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
25:46of 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.
26:11So, what did the M.A. 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.
26:23At the bottom of his suitcase,
26:27we 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
26:36from carbon monoxide poisoning.
26:39That's a coincidence.
26:40Right?
26:40One more wrinkle.
26:41Sleight was not the sole owner of Lady Bell Landing.
26:44There were two other investors.
27:00You couldn't leave that over.
27:03So, how's antiquing going?
27:06Kim found a Wallace Nutting hand-colored photograph today.
27:09Not a Nutting.
27:10Oh, I am undone.
27:13Wish I could be more excited,
27:14but I can't help thinking about what happened on the beach.
27:17Any news, detective?
27:19We identified the victim.
27:20George Sleight.
27:22Who?
27:23Don't pretend that you don't know George Sleight.
27:25He owned the hotel,
27:26and you two were his partners.
27:29Silent partners.
27:30Silent partners who lied about tracking down a roll-top desk
27:35that doesn't actually exist.
27:38So, what's going on?
27:41It's...
27:43complicated.
27:45We're both married.
27:47Just not to each other.
27:53This is our annual escape.
27:55This is where we first met,
27:56and why we keep coming back.
27:57We bought a stake in the place
27:59so we'd have an excuse every year
28:00to come and check on our investment.
28:02Mostly, we did it so we'd always have the same room,
28:05the same time.
28:06No 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?
28:31Cardinal.
28:32This may sound crazy,
28:34but 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,
28:55you now own 25% of this inn.
28:57I guess you don't have to worry about your future anymore.
29:01Well, at my age, dear,
29:03that really is all one worries about.
29:05You 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.
29:17Coincidentally, 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 to keep both rooms.
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.
29:40And 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.
29:50No, no, no, we're not going anywhere.
29:51Absolutely, no.
29:52Because 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.
30:09Oh.
30:10Ugh.
30:12Just wine.
30:14Yeah.
30:15Yeah, okay.
30:16Uh, yeah, yes.
30:17Okay.
30:17But 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.
30:32Okay.
31:03Oh, my God.
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.
32:07We're looking for loose floorboard, a secret compartment, maybe a hidden room, anywhere Mr.
32:14and 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.
32:30Oh, thank you.
32:31I mean, I just...
32:32Yes.
32:33Yeah.
32:34Yeah.
32:35Yeah.
32:36All right.
32:40Yep.
32:44Now what are you looking for?
32:45I'm just checking to see if maybe the ceiling is a little bit hollow so they can hide a body
32:51up here.
32:52Be careful.
32:52Wait!
32:53Oh!
32:57So, uh, should we talk about the case?
33:02Oh, I'd rather think about it without talking about it.
33:05Mm.
33:09Um, look at that.
33:14What am I looking at?
33:16Wait.
33:16Wait.
33:19Look.
33:20There'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.
33:27But this patch, this is smaller than the actual painting hanging here.
33:36Look 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.
33:55But 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.
34:05And I'm just...
34:09Look.
34:10You know what I think?
34:12I know how they did it!
34:14Oh!
34:15Oh!
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.
34:31Just 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, not 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?
35:37We need physical evidence and I need to change these pants.
35:46Back to my post.
35:48Night.
36:01So, you gonna tell me what happened with Jack?
36:03Nothing happened with Jack.
36:05Okay.
36:05All 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.
36:14It 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.
36:23Wait.
36:23Wait, 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.
36:31Um, cervical vertebrae decay.
36:33Okay.
36:34He used to have to travel with some special pillow.
36:37But 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, then maybe this sounds crazy and I know it's the whole life imitating art thing,
36:47but I wrote something for Selina 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.
37:15Wilma.
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?
37:31Down, 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.
37:41Ah, from the ducks we ate.
37:42Oh, 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,
37:51but they made a grave error that'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,
37:56they forgot that he has a very special neck pillow that he 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.
38:07Ooh.
38:08Oh, but be careful.
38:09And call Jack Kerrigan at the sheriff's office.
38:11Right away.
38:13Jack, yes.
38:14Sheriff.
38:14Yes.
38:15Hello.
38:15Yes.
38:18Yes.
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.
38:39Love, companionship, security.
38:41Yeah, you could get all of that without entering into a culturally imposed monogamy
38:45that is so inherently suffocating that people will resort to murder to break the shackles.
38:50I call bullshit.
38:51They just can't keep their zippers zipped.
38:53I gotta pee.
38:54But you're coming back here.
38:56I'll just be a minute.
38:58What are you gonna use to wipe?
39:00You don't wanna know.
39:01Oh.
39:03You're supposed to pee before a stakeout.
39:06Oh, for God's sake.
39:08Here they come.
39:09It worked.
39:11The pillow must be in the suitcase.
39:13And they're gonna 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 an ambulance.
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,
39:41and then warned Kim and Seth.
39:43That's why they switched the rooms.
39:44Okay, but who would have seen me?
39:46It would have to be Dave.
39:48He was doing his security rounds,
39:49and 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?
40:04To 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
40:34to be calling the shots right now.
40:44Freeze!
40:48Hey, is everybody all right?
40:50Yeah.
40:51Oh, you just saved our lives.
41:00Just a quiet trip to get some writing done.
41:05Life's all about the detours.
41:08You were right.
41:09Pillows in the suitcase.
41:12Yeah.
41:13Hi.
41:13Just seeing how you two were doing.
41:15We're still breathing, thanks to you.
41:17This is Melissa Grant.
41:19Melissa's a park ranger.
41:21Yeah.
41:21We met Clamming.
41:23Right.
41:23Yeah, I was heading into town after putting some tracking collars on some mountain lion cubs,
41:28but when I saw that dude pointing a gun at you, I just hit the gas without any thinking.
41:33Well, I'm glad you did.
41:34Yeah.
41:35Well, you might see me around.
41:36I'm gonna be staying in the Cove until I finish with my project.
41:39So, take care.
41:40Bye.
41:41See ya.
41:41Thanks, Melissa.
41:42Speaking of projects, I have a little more information about your mother.
41:45And I completely understand if you think it's none of my business.
41:50I live in Founders Cove, so my life is everyone's business.
41:54Okay.
41:55When I was working on trying to find your mother last week, I was not researching international
41:59databases.
42:00Allie has the hunch that maybe your mother was French.
42:02You have a French passport.
42:04That's a good guess.
42:05My mom was born in Orsay.
42:06There you go.
42:08Well, and not.
42:09French citizens are fingerprinted when they're kids for their national identity card.
42:13Right, and your mother had not been wiped from that system, so I ran into APHIS.
42:19I got a hit.
42:22Is she still alive?
42:23That's about three years ago.
42:25Yes.
42:26Renee Chantal Walker was in a Montpelier, Vermont donut shop that June.
42:31Do you know that for sure?
42:32Actually, yes.
42:33CSU had dusted that shop for prints after an armed robbery.
42:37Your mother was not there at the time, but her prints were on the front counter.
42:40A lack of degradation indicates that it was recent.
42:43That's Derek's donuts.
42:45It's right across from Traseter College, where I went to school.
42:51Three years ago, I graduated in June.
42:58My mom was there.
43:09How was it?
43:11I'm sure.
43:13Oh, my God.
