00:00:09That woman next door got butchered. Blood everywhere.
00:00:12Smashed her skull right open. Brains all over the rugs.
00:00:19The dream?
00:00:19Keep walking and find the food.
00:00:21No, I still hear it.
00:00:23Peanut butter's gotta be in the closet.
00:00:24Grab it and bounce. If that creep next door comes over, we're dead!
00:00:30Human!
00:00:32Wait! Don't run!
00:00:37Did you just say someone died next door?
00:00:40Where's the killer?
00:00:42Is he still there?
00:00:43Holy crap! Is she talking to us?
00:00:46No way! She understands us?
00:00:48What is she, a freak? Humans can't hear us!
00:00:50I can hear you.
00:00:58Just tell me what happened in that room. All yours.
00:01:06A big guy slipped into her place. Not two minutes later, BAM!
00:01:10We peeked in. Blood. So much blood.
00:01:13The lady's eyes were wide open. Freaked me the hell out!
00:01:17And... where is the guy? Did he leave?
00:01:20Nah. Still there. Looked like he passed out on the bed.
00:01:23Not beside her. Right on top of her. And he was still twitching around.
00:01:29Necrophilia?
00:01:46Necrophilia?
00:01:48Come on, damn light. Not now.
00:01:51Just go. Please, just leave.
00:01:53Leave.
00:01:57Oh!
00:02:00No!
00:02:05Oh!
00:02:10Oh!
00:02:13Oh!
00:02:15Oh, my God!
00:02:19Oh!
00:02:32Sweet cheese, he's finally gone.
00:02:35Another second and my heart would have popped.
00:02:40911?
00:02:42I need police.
00:02:44My neighbor, she's dead.
00:02:47Someone murdered her.
00:03:18She really is.
00:03:19She's dead.
00:03:25Am I losing my mind from burnout?
00:03:27Or can I actually understand rats?
00:03:31Hey, you still owe us the food you promised.
00:03:34Yeah, don't pull a fast one like the other humans.
00:03:37Free treats, they say.
00:03:39Then it's full of rat poison.
00:03:41I promised.
00:03:42I pay up.
00:03:42But one more thing first.
00:03:47I'll make it worth your while.
00:03:49Fresh snacks, gourmet stuff, zero poison.
00:03:53Swear to God.
00:03:54Extra questions cost extra grub.
00:03:56Tiny bodies, huge appetites.
00:03:59Shoot.
00:04:00But we don't know much.
00:04:03That guy who took out the lady next door.
00:04:05You seen him before?
00:04:07Oh yeah.
00:04:08Creepiest dude ever.
00:04:10Smelled nasty too.
00:04:11I wouldn't go near him if you paid me.
00:04:13What did he look like?
00:04:14What was he wearing?
00:04:15Barely had any eyebrows.
00:04:18And his weight.
00:04:28Go on.
00:04:30His eyebrows.
00:04:31Ghostly thin.
00:04:32Huge bulbous nose.
00:04:34Slanted, snake-like eyes.
00:04:36Thin lips.
00:04:37Totally chapped and peeling.
00:04:47That's him.
00:04:48That's the big guy.
00:04:56I smell a stranger.
00:04:58Bad vibes.
00:05:03Here's your paycheck.
00:05:05Back in the closet.
00:05:07Once I get paid tomorrow,
00:05:08I'll bring back rotisserie chicken.
00:05:28You the one who called us?
00:05:29Yes, sir.
00:05:30That was me.
00:05:31Morley, take her downtown
00:05:33for a routine statement.
00:05:34Don't waste time canvassing, detective.
00:05:35You need to catch him tonight.
00:05:37Here.
00:05:40You saw his face?
00:05:41Can't exactly say two rats in my closet
00:05:43witnessed it.
00:05:44Time to sell this.
00:05:45Not tonight.
00:05:45But I caught him hanging around
00:05:46the corner dumpsters a few times last week.
00:05:48Staking the place out.
00:05:50I'm positive it's him.
00:05:55Miss Vance,
00:05:56if you didn't see his face,
00:05:57how'd you pull off this kind of detail?
00:06:00His square jaw,
00:06:01snake-like eyes,
00:06:02and dragging his right foot
00:06:03when he walks.
00:06:03It matches the creep outside
00:06:05to a teak.
00:06:06Trust me.
00:06:10Morley,
00:06:11run this through the database.
00:06:12On it, boss.
00:06:16If this sketch is legit,
00:06:18you just saved us 48 hours, miss.
00:06:20But we still need an official statement
00:06:21on the record.
00:06:22Look, detective,
00:06:24I really can't.
00:06:26I've got to be at work
00:06:27first thing in the morning.
00:06:30We're looking at a brutal serial murder.
00:06:33You think your boss gives a damn?
00:06:34Sir,
00:06:35I pissed him off last time,
00:06:37and I'm worried I'll get fired
00:06:38if I don't show up tomorrow.
00:06:39Just sign the paperwork,
00:06:40it won't take long.
00:06:40If your boss gives you grief,
00:06:42I'll handle it.
00:06:43Fine.
00:06:44Hope I still have the job
00:06:45the day after tomorrow.
00:06:49Name.
00:06:51Tessa Vance.
00:06:53Income?
00:06:54And what was your relationship
00:06:55with the deceased?
00:06:58Hold on.
00:07:00Am I a suspect now?
00:07:06Clearing every loose end
00:07:07is standard procedure,
00:07:08Miss Vance.
00:07:08Don't take it personally.
00:07:11Understood.
00:07:12If we're done here,
00:07:13I'm heading out.
00:07:17Find anything on that sketch?
00:07:19No hits.
00:07:20If that's our guy,
00:07:21he doesn't fit our profile at all.
00:07:22Clean record,
00:07:23zero prize.
00:07:27Take your unit
00:07:27and canvas the block.
00:07:29Ask every homeless guy
00:07:30and regular
00:07:30if they recognize the face.
00:07:42Excuse me.
00:07:43Sorry.
00:07:43I live here
00:07:43just trying to get inside.
00:07:47That's the girl.
00:07:48She lives right next door
00:07:49to the poor guy.
00:07:50Sweetheart,
00:07:51aren't you terrified?
00:07:52How can you sleep in there?
00:07:53Who says I'm not?
00:07:54It's not like I can afford
00:07:55rent somewhere else.
00:07:57So good?
00:07:59Smells so good?
00:08:00Where is it?
00:08:01Where is it?
00:08:03I can understand flies now?
00:08:04Fresh blood.
00:08:05Bucket odds of blood.
00:08:07Where's the beast?
00:08:08Oh.
00:08:10Blood?
00:08:12Nobody's holding meat.
00:08:13Why would a fly smell blood?
00:08:15Different kinds of blood?
00:08:17Unless...
00:08:18Bingo!
00:08:19There he is!
00:08:20Soaked in it!
00:08:20Coming through!
00:08:25That guy!
00:08:27That's him!
00:08:28Don't let him get away!
00:08:36Which way?
00:08:37That way!
00:08:38Move!
00:08:38You're losing him!
00:08:39Go!
00:08:40Go!
00:08:40Cut him off!
00:08:44Dear God.
00:08:45The killer was standing
00:08:47right next to us?
00:08:49Rats got me the sketch.
00:08:50If I asked that fly
00:08:52it might know way more.
00:08:57Hey, little guy.
00:08:59Come get it.
00:09:01You love blood, right?
00:09:03Fresh, warm, all yours.
00:09:06Blood!
00:09:07Fresh blood!
00:09:10Mine, mine, mine!
00:09:20Mmm, sweet stuff.
00:09:22Fresh and sweet.
00:09:24Little watery, though.
00:09:26What, you never eat steak?
00:09:28Come on.
00:09:29You hear me, right?
00:09:31Stop playing dumb.
00:09:32I won't squish you,
00:09:34answer a few questions,
00:09:35and I'll get you
00:09:36all the blood you can drink.
00:09:37Real food, too.
00:09:39For real?
00:09:40Of course.
00:09:41I just fed you
00:09:42my own finger, didn't I?
00:09:43Fair enough!
00:09:44But I'm just a fly, lady.
00:09:46Don't expect the encyclopedia.
00:09:48You landed on a guy
00:09:48in the crowd, right?
00:09:49Said he smelled like blood?
00:09:50Yeah, stink of bleach, too, though.
00:09:53Yours tastes way better.
00:09:54What was he wearing?
00:09:55A shirt, pants,
00:09:56oh, and a hat.
00:09:58Almost forget you are just a bug.
00:10:00How can I make you understand?
00:10:02Besides the smell of blood,
00:10:03what else?
00:10:03Like cigarettes?
00:10:05Yeah, left hand stinks like cheap tobacco.
00:10:0730-year chain smoker, easy.
00:10:09Oh, and another weird stench.
00:10:12Kind of like...
00:10:13Like what?
00:10:20My witness!
00:10:22What the...
00:10:24Uncle George?
00:10:29Uncle George?
00:10:31Tessa?
00:10:31What are you doing out here?
00:10:33Why were you staring down a damn fly?
00:10:34My crucial clue,
00:10:36just gone,
00:10:36like that.
00:10:40We lost him.
00:10:41Slipped through the cuts.
00:10:42How the hell were you so sure
00:10:43that was the guy?
00:10:44Knew you'd ask.
00:10:45Good thing I've got my cover story locked.
00:10:48I'm sensitive to smells.
00:10:49When I passed him,
00:10:50I caught the scent of blood.
00:10:52And this guy's a heavy smoker.
00:10:5330 years easy.
00:10:55Just a hunch, though.
00:10:58Hold on.
00:10:58Let me make a call.
00:11:03Tessa, you sure that's him?
00:11:05No one he smoked for 30 years and all?
00:11:06My dad's been chain smoking
00:11:07since before I was born, hasn't it?
00:11:13Miss Vance,
00:11:14can you help us to pull street cams
00:11:16and pinpoint which way he bolted?
00:11:18Look, I pulled an all-nighter.
00:11:20I've got a shift starting in an hour.
00:11:23Tessa,
00:11:24this is a serial killer.
00:11:26And the whole debt's losing it.
00:11:29City Hall offered 300 grand.
00:11:31The press is on our necks.
00:11:32And I'm out of options.
00:11:35I know it's off the books,
00:11:37but I need your help.
00:11:38Wait, Uncle George,
00:11:39what did you just say?
00:11:40I said I know it's off the books,
00:11:41but...
00:11:41Not that part!
00:11:43City Hall offered 300 grand.
00:11:45The press is on our necks.
00:11:46Not 300 bucks.
00:11:46Not three grand.
00:11:47Three hundred thousand.
00:11:49Uncle George,
00:11:50how could I turn my back on justice?
00:11:52While a monster walks free,
00:11:54I'm in.
00:11:55Atta, girl.
00:11:56Always knew you had grit.
00:11:59Once I get this cash,
00:12:00nobody's calling me broke again.
00:12:07Pulling every feed within five blocks.
00:12:09Dammit, this guy can't just vanish!
00:12:12We canvassed the entire block with the sketch.
00:12:14Nobody recognized him.
00:12:17Miss Vance,
00:12:18any chance you misremembered a detail?
00:12:24Anything yet?
00:12:29Miss Vance,
00:12:31thank you so much for the lead tonight.
00:12:33Once this case wraps up,
00:12:35I'll personally talk to the mayor
00:12:37about getting you the key to the city.
00:12:38Oh, please.
00:12:39No need.
00:12:40I'm just doing my civic duty.
00:12:42Integrity like yours is hard to come by, kid.
00:12:45But,
00:12:46my Uncle George mentioned something about a reward.
00:12:48300 grand for catching him.
00:12:50Is that real?
00:12:52Right, yeah.
00:12:53But only for actionable intel
00:12:55that leads directly to an arrest.
00:12:57Good to know it's a real thing.
00:13:00Listen to me.
00:13:02This guy is a butcher.
00:13:04No victim has ever survived his hands.
00:13:06You've got your whole life ahead of you.
00:13:08Don't throw it away chasing a paycheck.
00:13:12Done taking shit from my boss.
00:13:14I'm taking that money.
00:13:16Understood, detective.
00:13:17I'm heading home now.
00:13:36Seven bucks.
00:13:39Seven bucks?
00:13:43Whatever.
00:13:44Seed investment.
00:13:46Gotta spend money to make 300 grand.
00:14:04You okay, miss?
00:14:05Watch your feet.
00:14:07Tripping over flat ground.
00:14:08Seriously?
00:14:09Yeah.
00:14:10Just missed you guys so much I lost my balance.
00:14:13Guess I still need to practice
00:14:15not flinching when I see a rat.
00:14:17If you missed us, where's the takeout?
00:14:19You didn't stiff us, did ya?
00:14:21Would I do that?
00:14:23Fresh out of the warmer.
00:14:25Enjoy it.
00:14:25God bless you!
00:14:29Wait, you're broke.
00:14:31You don't even eat meat.
00:14:32Dropping cash on poultry
00:14:34means you want another favor.
00:14:37Sharp as a tap.
00:14:39I need to track this killer down.
00:14:41Can you put me in touch
00:14:42with your friends around here?
00:14:44That guy was staring up
00:14:45at your window earlier, Big Orange.
00:14:47If she catches him,
00:14:48she won't get murdered, right?
00:14:49We gotta help her out.
00:14:52What did you just say?
00:14:54That freak was watching my window?
00:14:56Saw it with my own two eyes.
00:14:57Freaked out now, huh?
00:14:59That guy marked you.
00:15:00Still wanna go hunting?
00:15:02Then what are we waiting for?
00:15:04Move your furry asses!
00:15:07Orange gray.
00:15:08Showtime.
00:15:12Why'd you bring us to my uncle's turf?
00:15:15Even better.
00:15:16Can you talk to him?
00:15:17Intel requires a finder's fee.
00:15:18Stay put.
00:15:19My uncle doesn't do humans.
00:15:25Jerry's a badass.
00:15:26When my mom caught poison,
00:15:28Jerry dragged me out of the storm dunk
00:15:29and raised me.
00:15:30Wait, what are you guys?
00:15:31Boys?
00:15:32Girls?
00:15:32Both certified bachelors.
00:15:34Good.
00:15:35Don't need a hundred extra roommates
00:15:36by next Tuesday.
00:15:41Hey, Uncle Jerry?
00:15:43Off my turf, human!
00:15:45And you, you sellout bringing an ape here?
00:15:48Forgot what their traps do to us?
00:15:50Hold on, don't squish him.
00:15:51Let's just talk.
00:15:52You actually understand me?
00:15:54I'm Tessa.
00:15:56Yes, I hear you.
00:16:00I'm hunting a killer.
00:16:01Point me in his direction
00:16:02and this whole bird,
00:16:04plus a box of cookies,
00:16:05is yours.
00:16:06He's my cousin.
00:16:07My uncle was poisoned to death
00:16:08not too long ago.
00:16:09Wasn't me!
00:16:10I don't use poison!
00:16:11You're still human
00:16:12and I don't want your garbage bird.
00:16:14What do you want then?
00:16:16Steak!
00:16:17Grade A juicy ribeye.
00:16:18You couldn't finish a quarter of that!
00:16:20I'll take a bite and spit it out
00:16:21if I want, twerp!
00:16:23Deal.
00:16:23Ribeye the minute this is over.
00:16:26Who we hunting?
00:16:29This guy.
00:16:30Seen him?
00:16:38Wait!
00:16:39Where are you going?
00:16:41Chill out.
00:16:42Jerry's a rat of his word.
00:16:43He's rounding up the crew.
00:16:51You hurt bad, Orange?
00:16:52Just a scratch.
00:16:54Chick's dip scars.
00:17:00I showed him the mug.
00:17:02They clocked him.
00:17:08Quit shaking.
00:17:10She's not going to eat you.
00:17:11Boss, what if she slips us rat bait?
00:17:14Spill it or I'll chew your ears off myself.
00:17:17That's him.
00:17:18Pure evil.
00:17:19Only dudes with blood on their hands smell that rotten.
00:17:22Not just one body either.
00:17:23A whole damn butcher shop.
00:17:24Where'd he go when he hit the alley?
00:17:26Hung a right.
00:17:27My cousin works that curb, she told me.
00:17:29Yeah.
00:17:31Yeah.
00:17:32Yeah.
00:17:33Yeah.
00:17:33Yeah.
00:17:35Yeah.
00:17:36Yeah.
00:17:36Yeah.
00:17:36Yeah.
00:17:36Yeah.
00:17:36Yeah.
00:17:37Yeah.
00:17:37Yeah.
00:17:37Yeah.
00:17:38Yeah.
00:17:39Yeah.
00:17:40Yeah.
00:17:40Three blocks and four handoffs later, guess there's power in vermin numbers.
00:17:44Crossed the crosswalk on the hard right at the light?
00:17:47Vanished after that.
00:17:53Appreciate it, cousin.
00:17:57Past that light is clean human territory.
00:17:59No dumpsters, no cover.
00:18:01Middle of the day, nobody on our side saw.
00:18:03You got me this far?
00:18:04Ribeye is still a lock.
00:18:06Best keep that promise.
00:18:08Or my boys turn your kitchen into a toilet.
00:18:13Should we tell Big Rat she lives in a shoebox with zero food?
00:18:16Never mind.
00:18:17Ladies insecure about being broke.
00:18:23Detective Harris, I've got something big.
00:18:32Miss Vance, you remember something else?
00:18:35Detective Harris, I figured if this guy managed to ditch your perimeter, he probably took the
00:18:39same escape route after the murder last night.
00:18:42Sharp instincts.
00:18:43Most civilians wouldn't connect those dots.
00:18:45So I walked the back alleys myself, tracing his psychological mindset.
00:18:48I mapped out his flight path.
00:18:58You mapped this?
00:19:00Using your psychic intuition?
00:19:07Ten seconds ago, I was ready to pin a badge on her.
00:19:09Now she's talking gut feelings.
00:19:17Cross the crosswalk on the hard right at the light?
00:19:20Appreciate it, cousin.
00:19:22Okay, yeah.
00:19:23Sounded way ridiculous.
00:19:25Tess, people are dying out there.
00:19:27We don't play make-believe on a murder case.
00:19:31Screw it.
00:19:31Let them think I'm nuts.
00:19:33I just want my money.
00:19:40Check traffic feeds along this exact line.
00:19:42You'll catch them on tape.
00:19:45You willing to bet on this, Vance?
00:19:47Bank on it.
00:19:48Fine.
00:19:49I'll have someone pull.
00:19:52Captain.
00:19:53Didn't know you were still here.
00:19:55Dispatch said you had a breakthrough.
00:19:56What do we got?
00:19:57Miss Vance here claims she traced the perbs' escape route through behavioral deduction.
00:20:01I was just about to run it.
00:20:03Behavioral deduction?
00:20:05From a civilian?
00:20:06Harris, don't crack jokes right now.
00:20:11Captain, she had eyes on the guy.
00:20:13Her profiling matches up, and her instincts have been solid so far.
00:20:16It's worth checking.
00:20:17Captain Adams, my niece might be young, but she knows better than to waste departmental resources.
00:20:22I feed them total garbage, and they actually have my back?
00:20:26Damn.
00:20:28Don't make me regret trusting you, Harris.
00:20:31Clock's ticking.
00:20:32Check every store camera, ATM, and traffic lens along this route.
00:20:36Find this son of a bitch.
00:20:37Yes, sir.
00:20:42You put your neck out on this, Miss Vance.
00:20:44I hope to tell you all right.
00:20:46We'll get him.
00:21:03Stop.
00:21:04Right there.
00:21:05Zoom in.
00:21:05That's him.
00:21:10Slippery bastard.
00:21:12Change clothes three times along the way.
00:21:14Miss Vance hadn't clocked his gate and silhouette.
00:21:16He'd be halfway to Canada by now.
00:21:18Morelli, get a warrant signed right now.
00:21:19I want this psycho in cuffs before sunrise.
00:21:46Keep it together, Miss.
00:21:48Your shaking is making me motion sick.
00:21:50They're going to bust him, Miss.
00:21:51Don't stress so hard.
00:21:53How can I not stress?
00:21:54If he slips out, my reward goes up in smoke, and my head's on his chopping block.
00:22:05It's the psycho.
00:22:06How'd he get out?
00:22:08Run, Miss.
00:22:10Run!
00:22:19Damn it.
00:22:20Fire escape.
00:22:20Move, move.
00:22:21Wait.
00:22:22Tessa's alone out there.
00:22:23Help!
00:22:24He's down here!
00:22:39No harm to my sister.
00:22:44Oh!
00:22:44Get him off!
00:22:46Get him off me!
00:22:53Rats!
00:22:54There are rats crawling on me!
00:22:56Help me!
00:22:57Get him off!
00:22:58Rats?
00:22:59Give me a break.
00:23:00You're hallucinating from sheer guilt.
00:23:01You have the right to remain silent.
00:23:03You're under arrest for multiple counts of aggravated homicide.
00:23:07I didn't kill anyone!
00:23:08You got the wrong guy!
00:23:10Save it for the judge.
00:23:11Bag him.
00:23:13I swear to God, I didn't kill anyone!
00:23:17Whoever set me up, I'm going to rip your throat out!
00:23:20Keep moving, scumbag.
00:23:26Holy cheese!
00:23:27That was close!
00:23:28You okay, Miss?
00:23:29I'm okay.
00:23:31You guys, thank you.
00:23:33Less mushy talk, more moving.
00:23:35Let's get the hell home before someone steps on us.
00:23:38Okay.
00:23:43No! Stay back!
00:23:49I told you not to stick your nose where it doesn't belong.
00:23:58Bad dream again, miss?
00:24:02I can't just sit here. I'm going back to the precinct.
00:24:09Officer William!
00:24:11Miss Vance, shouldn't you be at home resting?
00:24:14How's the interrogation going? Did he confess?
00:24:16He's definitely getting life, right? No bail?
00:24:19Why? You think we got the wrong guy?
00:24:26He's our prime suspect, but DA won't sign off on murder charges without hard physical evidence.
00:24:32No physical evidence? You can't butcher someone without leaving a trace?
00:24:37Forensics tore his apartment apart all night. Found nothing.
00:24:40If he walks, I'm a dead woman. Officer William, please.
00:24:44Let me see his apartment.
00:24:46No. That goes against protocol.
00:24:49Five minutes. I won't touch anything. Please.
00:24:52Wait here. Let me check with Detective Harris.
00:25:05Harris cleared you as a special consultant. But you stick to me like goo. You touch nothing without my say
00:25:11-off.
00:25:12Promise.
00:25:19Where's all his trash? Forensics haul it off?
00:25:21Nope. Place was like this when we breached. Clean freak.
00:25:25Damn it. If it's this clean, there won't be a rat in sight. Probably not even a fly. How the
00:25:30hell am I supposed to get a lead?
00:25:32Gotta take this. Look around, but don't contaminate anything.
00:25:36Humans! More humans! I wasn't even done with that juicy hair focal! Go away! Go away! Boo Boo!
00:25:44Little fly? Little mousy?
00:25:49I've got sweet buttery crackers. Come on out. All for you. Plenty more where that came from.
00:25:59You're a roach?
00:26:00What, you blind? What else would I be, a peacock?
00:26:03Rats, flies, and now cockroaches? I'm Dr. Doldick for pests?
00:26:07You said you were starving, right? It's yours.
00:26:10I must be dying of starvation.
00:26:13Hallucinating an ape talking to me and handing out cookies?
00:26:16Whatever. Beats dying on an empty stomach.
00:26:21Sweet mother of sugar. This is heaven.
00:26:24Holy crap! You're real!
00:26:27Hey, wait! I won't hurt you!
00:26:32Come on out. I've got a whole sleeve of cookies.
00:26:35Promise you won't stop me? For real? Cross my heart.
00:26:39If I wanted you dead, I'd have brought a shoe, not a snack.
00:26:42Makes sense.
00:26:47All right, human. What's the catch?
00:26:49How long have you lived here? What do you know about the guy who rents this place?
00:26:53Almost six months. Dude's a clinical neat freak.
00:26:55If he hadn't shed hair and dead skin flakes all over the sheets...
00:26:58I'd have starved to death weeks ago.
00:27:01When he came home two nights ago, did he smell like blood?
00:27:04Nope. Not a whiff.
00:27:06Nothing? Are you sure you weren't just too far away?
00:27:09Miss, I crawled right across his bed to eat his neck flakes.
00:27:13Zero blood.
00:27:15The street rats tracked blood on him all the way across town.
00:27:18How could he walk through his front door clean as a whistle?
00:27:20Did he shower before he got in? Wash it off? Nope.
00:27:24He stripped down and went straight to sleep.
00:27:27No shower. No blood. That's impossible.
00:27:31Unless...
00:27:32Does he go anywhere else in this building?
00:27:34Another room?
00:27:35Yeah. Upstairs. He's got a...
00:27:37Don't move! I got it!
00:27:38No!
00:27:45Were you...
00:27:45Were you just feeding a corage?
00:27:47I dropped my cookies. It crawled out, okay?
00:27:50I told you not to contaminate the crime scene and you're in here having a picnic?
00:27:55Not the point. The cookies gave me an epiphany.
00:27:58A cookie gave you an epiphany?
00:27:59Forensics found zero blood in this apartment, right?
00:28:02What if he didn't clean up here?
00:28:03What if he took a shower and ditched his clothes somewhere else first?
00:28:06Can you... let go of my leg first?
00:28:09Oh.
00:28:14I'll have Forensic sweep the common areas in boiler room.
00:28:17Could you wait outside for a sec?
00:28:19I need to double check something with my intuition.
00:28:22You intuition.
00:28:23Jesus Christ.
00:28:30Captain wasn't kidding.
00:28:31Girls sharp as a tack, but a few fries short of a happy meal.
00:28:34Alright, hang tight in here while I wrangle some backup.
00:28:41All clear. He's gone. You can come out now.
00:28:45Holy crap. That was too close.
00:28:47You were saying before we got interrupted.
00:28:49What does he do upstairs?
00:28:50He slips upstairs occasionally.
00:28:52My cousin hauled her whole crew through the pipes thinking they'd hit the jackpot.
00:28:55But nope. Same guy. Zero food.
00:28:58She scurried it straight back down, complaining non-stop.
00:29:01Right above us?
00:29:03Directly overhead.
00:29:05Right above us.
00:29:10This should hold you over.
00:29:11Once you finish it, pack your bags.
00:29:13Nobody's living here anytime soon.
00:29:15With the bodies he dropped, he's never seeing daylight again.
00:29:18You're saying something's up with the room upstairs?
00:29:21100%.
00:29:22That's absolute bullshit.
00:29:24Wait here. I need to make another call.
00:29:29Dispatch, run a deed check on Unit 302 at this address.
00:29:32See if the lease links to our perp.
00:29:36The station couldn't find anything.
00:29:38And no one's been able to reach the owner for three years.
00:29:41Without the owner's consent, we can't just kick it in.
00:29:43It's illegal entry.
00:29:45He might be buried in the floorboards for all we know.
00:29:47He cleaned the blood up in there. I can feel it.
00:29:54Screw it.
00:29:56If Harris is willing to gamble on her, so am I.
00:29:59Oh my God. Did you hear that?
00:30:01Someone's screaming for help.
00:30:02Yeah. Sounds like a kid trapped inside.
00:30:04Imminent danger. Exurgent circumstances.
00:30:06Yep. I heard too.
00:30:07Hurry! A child's life is on the line.
00:30:09What are you waiting for?
00:30:10Exurgent entry. Breach protocol.
00:30:12Copy that.
00:30:20Wait. What are you doing?
00:30:22To protect those innocent kids, I'm attempting an emergency non-destructive entry.
00:30:26Hope it works.
00:30:29Attempting? Dude picked that Tungle in five seconds split.
00:30:32He's got priors.
00:30:39Sarge, we got blood. Heavy latent trails.
00:30:43Miss Vance, your instincts are terrifying.
00:30:46That's a gift.
00:30:47Most of us can only dream of.
00:30:50Save the compliments.
00:30:52Let's find the kill kit before he gets bail.
00:30:54You heard her. Tear this place apart.
00:31:04Sick bastard kept trophies.
00:31:07If I couldn't hear the vermin, my name would be hanging in here next.
00:31:13Miss Vance, without you, this monster would still be stalking the streets.
00:31:17You handed us the case on a silver plaited.
00:31:21Detective Harris, please. You know me.
00:31:23I don't care about credit or glary.
00:31:25Naturally.
00:31:26You really came through for the city, Miss Vance.
00:31:28I already put you in for the bounty, but the red paper takes a while to clear.
00:31:32What's the timeline looking like?
00:31:34Best case versus worst case?
00:31:36Best case, maybe four weeks to cut the check.
00:31:39Worst case, three to six months through city council audit.
00:31:42Six months? Are you kidding me?
00:31:44I have to keep taking abuse from that pig at the office for another half a year?
00:31:48Everything okay, Miss Vance? Tight on rent?
00:31:51I could float you in advance out of my own pocket, if things are rough.
00:31:55Oh, gosh, no. Absolutely not. Just curious about city logistics, that's all.
00:32:02Well, you earned a real night of sleep. Let me get a squad car to drop you off.
00:32:05We'll be in touch if the DA needs you on the stand.
00:32:08Sounds good. Thanks.
00:32:12You bet the farm on her hitch pretty reckless, boss.
00:32:16You remember the window between his last two hits?
00:32:19One week.
00:32:20Exactly. And the gap between the first and second was six months.
00:32:24His cooling off period was shrinking exponentially.
00:32:27He was spiraling out of control.
00:32:29I had to gamble.
00:32:31Hell of a payoff.
00:32:34Hey, lady. Didn't you say you were gonna sleep for twelve hours?
00:32:37You barely conked out for two before dragging us back out.
00:32:42Sleep can wait. But I promised Big Rat a prime cut steak, and debts get paid on time.
00:32:47Knew it. You're alright, human.
00:32:51Little Grey, over here!
00:32:53Hey, where's Jerry?
00:32:54Jerry's dying! He's bleeding out!
00:32:57What? Did someone poison him?
00:32:59Save him! Please, miss, you gotta save him!
00:33:01Lead the way. Move.
00:33:13Is that the human who speaks?
00:33:15What's she carrying? Smells incredible.
00:33:17No clue. But if she brought treats, she can't be all bad.
00:33:19Shut your traps! Jerry, wake up! I brought the human!
00:33:23She's gonna fix you up! Don't you die on me!
00:33:26Please, miss! Save him!
00:33:37Please tell me that is a domestic fancy rat.
00:33:40What if I said yes?
00:33:42Then I'd ask for its rabies tag and brooder paperwork.
00:33:47If you scooped a wild city sewer rat off the pavement, we can't treat it.
00:33:51State law. It carries a dozen zerobatic polygens.
00:33:54We aren't equipped to sanitize.
00:33:57Call animal control.
00:33:58Nobody's gonna help him.
00:34:00Is Jockey really gonna die?
00:34:04Then we do it ourselves.
00:34:06Do what ourselves?
00:34:11Do you even know first aid? Can you really pull this off?
00:34:17Well, I'm officially flat broke.
00:34:19Emptied my checking account on gauze and antiseptics.
00:34:23It's gotta work.
00:34:24Relax. The lady's got this.
00:34:27She's gonna pull big rat through.
00:34:30As long as his will to live is strong, he's got a shot.
00:34:33If his heart stops, well, I gave it everything I had.
00:34:38Jerry! Hang in there, man! Don't you dare give up!
00:34:42Ain't dead yet, shrimp.
00:34:46This is gonna sting like hell.
00:34:48Don't bite me. I can't afford a tetanus shot.
00:34:51Human meat tastes like garbage anyway.
00:34:54Do your worst.
00:34:59You're alive! You actually made it!
00:35:02What the hell jumped you anyway? How'd you get chewed up like that?
00:35:04A feral tomcat tried his luck. We called it a draw.
00:35:08What's so funny, ape?
00:35:10A draw? You were five minutes away from meeting your ancestors.
00:35:14You should've seen the cat! Left him missing an ear!
00:35:16A tomcat would've swallowed me in one bite.
00:35:18Eat up, tough guy. You earned it.
00:35:20Jerry's the baddest rat in the district!
00:35:22Just a cat.
00:35:23Mmm, so buttery.
00:35:26Stay put while I'm at work.
00:35:27Don't worry, lady. We'll guard the fort!
00:35:30A proper rodent condo.
00:35:32Ceramic feeding bowls.
00:35:34Maybe a tiny washbade.
00:35:35Vance!
00:35:37Don't you take another step!
00:35:43Mr. Chris, if there's nothing else, I have work to do.
00:35:45Hold it right there!
00:35:47Who said you could leave?
00:35:48In my office.
00:35:49Now!
00:35:55You ghosted us for two whole days!
00:35:57The schedule's trashed, and we're bleeding money here!
00:36:00I cleared every single deliverable before I took off.
00:36:03This isn't about deliverables.
00:36:05You went completely off the grid!
00:36:07Funny. When I work 12-hour days, nobody cares if I exist.
00:36:10Take two days off and suddenly the whole department falls apart without me.
00:36:13Watch your attitude, Vance. It's getting real problematic.
00:36:16I'm stating facts, Mr. Chris. I had an emergency. A woman was murdered in my building.
00:36:21Fact is, annual reviews are coming up. If I were you, I wouldn't go picking fights.
00:36:25With the guy holding the pen.
00:36:27Are you threatening me?
00:36:29I'm giving you a reality check.
00:36:31Ratings, bonuses, promotions, they all run through me.
00:36:35My team had the highest metrics on the last launch.
00:36:37That bonus is mine. I earned it.
00:36:40Earned it, huh?
00:36:42Truth is, Tessa, I've always had an eye on you.
00:36:45Dinner tonight? Just the two of us.
00:36:47Pass! I don't do quid pro quo.
00:36:50You're gonna regret that.
00:36:54Any roaches around? I need a hand.
00:36:56This chocolate is yours.
00:36:58Back me up on this, and I'll buy you an entire stash once we're through.
00:37:02The real deal, too. European craft chocolate, not that waxy crap from the vending machine.
00:37:08You actually know the vending machine stuff tastes like wax?
00:37:11Finally, a human of culture! Deal!
00:37:14A little friend in an apartment upstate told me.
00:37:16Wait, other roaches are on your payroll?
00:37:18I treat my crack tractors right. You do the job, you get paid.
00:37:22Smooth texture? Premium caco butt?
00:37:25Needs a tad more sugar, but hey, not bad.
00:37:27A pastry credit, huh?
00:37:29Please. I got layers, lady.
00:37:31Perfect. I need eyes on my boss.
00:37:33He's up to something shady, and I need dirt.
00:37:35Say no more. You're one of those poor sogs, trapped in the glowing cubicle farm all day.
00:37:39Tell you what, out of pure pity for your sad existence, I'm in.
00:37:46I'll drop you by his door. Keep your head down and stay out of sight.
00:37:49Relax, babe. I've dodged exterminators in this hellhole for nine months straight.
00:37:53I'm a professional.
00:38:01Those reports better be on my desk before five or nobody's leaving tonight.
00:38:05Think she's special?
00:38:07You're all replaceable, sweetheart.
00:38:09Every last one of you.
00:38:13That was the most disgusting afternoon of my entire life.
00:38:18I had to sit through toxic gas, toe picking, and deep nose mining.
00:38:24Disgusting, but not fireable.
00:38:26What about infidelity?
00:38:28Now that sounds like Chris. Did you catch where they're meeting?
00:38:318 Sharp. Sharp Edge Hotel, room 1403.
00:38:36Mission accomplished. Bonus payment as promised.
00:38:3920 minutes left. I gotta move.
00:38:42Sweet mother of buttery crumbs, this is the greatest day of my life!
00:38:47Hello? Who is this?
00:38:49I'm one of your husband's subordinates.
00:38:51We met at the company gala.
00:38:53Oh, right. Tessa, was it?
00:38:55What's going on?
00:38:56Chris is meeting his mistress tonight at 8 o'clock.
00:38:58Sharp Edge Hotel, room 1403.
00:39:01He's what?!
00:39:02Wait for me in the lobby. I'm pulling up right now.
00:39:05I'm already here.
00:39:07With me. We're heading up.
00:39:08My husband is in room 1403.
00:39:11Take me up right now.
00:39:12Hotel policy requires an escort to verify occupancy.
00:39:15Right this way, ma'am.
00:39:16Hurry up!
00:39:17This way, please.
00:39:19Smile for the camera, scumbag.
00:39:22See you wiggle out of this one.
00:39:24Open it.
00:39:30You lying piece of shit!
00:39:34Get your lazy ass up and explain yourself.
00:39:36Tom!
00:39:37Mr. Chris?
00:39:39Hey, you okay?
00:39:42He's dead!
00:39:45Chris!
00:39:47Wake up!
00:39:48Look at me!
00:39:48Call 911.
00:39:50Get paramedics up here right now.
00:39:52Right, yes.
00:39:53911.
00:39:57Great.
00:39:58Panic attack triggering angina.
00:39:59Sweetheart, wake up!
00:40:01Please!
00:40:02You haven't even met our babies yet!
00:40:03Why'd you have to go and die on me?!
00:40:05What the hell?
00:40:07You were just talking about settling down in the kitchen pipe 60 seconds ago!
00:40:11Don't leave me a single mother!
00:40:14Roaches survive radiation and nuclear fallout?
00:40:16Dropping dead mid-coiless?
00:40:18No way.
00:40:20I can hear you.
00:40:21Cut the waterworks.
00:40:22What happened to your partner before he flat-lied?
00:40:25You... you speak Roach?
00:40:26He just tapped out right after we finished!
00:40:28It all happened so damn fast!
00:40:31Fast how?
00:40:32Did he choke?
00:40:32Did he eat something in this room?
00:40:34We were chilling behind the crown molding.
00:40:35Then that fat human spilled some water on the counter.
00:40:38My man snuck down to take a sip, we hooked up and BAM!
00:40:40His heart exploded!
00:40:43Laced water.
00:40:45Don't touch the body!
00:40:46This is a potential homicide.
00:40:48Preserve the scene.
00:40:49Homicide?
00:40:50Who said anything about murder?
00:40:51Ma'am, step aside and let us do our jobs.
00:40:54Detectives are already en route.
00:40:56Hold your positions.
00:40:58Wait a second.
00:40:59Why does that hair look familiar?
00:41:05Miss Vance, what do we have?
00:41:07Morley, bag that glass for Toxology.
00:41:09I'm willing to bet money it spiked.
00:41:11Did the side piece poison him?
00:41:14Tag that glass as primary evidence.
00:41:15Rush it to the lab for a broad-spectrum chem screen.
00:41:19Anything else look dirty?
00:41:22Escort the spouse and hotel staff downtown for statements.
00:41:29Miss, your name and what exactly was your connection to the deceased?
00:41:34He was my sugar daddy and my manager at work.
00:41:37Jenny?
00:41:39You've got to be kidding me!
00:41:41Jenny?
00:41:42How the hell did someone like her end up tangled with a creep like Chris?
00:41:46How long have you two been seeing each other?
00:41:48Any prior domestic disputes?
00:41:49Walk me through what happened before he collapsed.
00:41:51We've been hooking up for two months.
00:41:54No fights, I swear.
00:41:55We had the room booked from eight to nine.
00:41:57I took a shower, came out, he was already undressed and we...
00:42:01We got into bed.
00:42:02Then he grabbed his chest, gasping.
00:42:05I thought he was just exhausted, but...
00:42:07He collapsed.
00:42:09I screamed and Tessa and his wife burst in.
00:42:12I was escorting his wife to catch him cheating.
00:42:15We didn't expect to find a corpse.
00:42:16Can I... can I please put some clothes on?
00:42:18I feel exposed like this.
00:42:20Go ahead, but I'm staying right here to supervise.
00:42:22Protocol.
00:42:24Damn.
00:42:27County ME is stuck in traffic.
00:42:29Miss Vance, I'll have a unit escort you down to the precinct.
00:42:31Morley, can you give me five minutes in here alone?
00:42:33Alone? What for?
00:42:36Personal call. Private matter.
00:42:39Please, just give me a second.
00:42:41Fine. You stay, but the door stays prompt open.
00:42:45Understood.
00:42:48Tell me what happened, and I'll get you gourmet bakery crumbs.
00:42:52For real? Won't kill me like it did my man?
00:42:54I'll take a bite in front of you first.
00:42:56Tell me everything from the second they walked through that door.
00:42:59They came in together. The blonde went straight to the shower.
00:43:02Fat boy sat there stripping down.
00:43:03Then he popped something into his mouth. Looked like candy.
00:43:07And then?
00:43:07The blonde came out, and they went at it on the matches.
00:43:10Matches Jenny's statement.
00:43:12So she wasn't lying?
00:43:13Did Chris really just drop dead from a heart attack?
00:43:18After that, Fat Boy went into the bathroom.
00:43:21The blonde jumps up, slips something in a glass of water.
00:43:23He downs it, and they get right back to it.
00:43:27Wait. By the time we kicked the door open, that was round two?
00:43:30Yep. Two rounds, plus the shower, all in under 20 minutes.
00:43:34You're positive she spiked that water?
00:43:37You're positive she spiked that water?
00:43:40100%! My partner saw it too! He thought it was sugar!
00:43:44And after that?
00:43:4530 seconds in, Fat Boy goes stiff.
00:43:48She kicks him off, waits till she hears you outside, pulls the sheets up, and turns on the water wanes.
00:43:54Looks like Chris's death wasn't so straightforward after all.
00:43:57Your retainer.
00:43:59Room's totally empty. Who the hell is she talking to?
00:44:02Maybe that's her process? You think she speaks to ghosts?
00:44:05If she talks to dead people, the city should put her on payroll. We'd close cases in 20 minutes.
00:44:09What in God's name are you two doing?
00:44:13Can I help you?
00:44:14Routine perimeter check. Keeping the joints loose?
00:44:17Yep. Standard tactical warm-up.
00:44:19By pressing your ears against my door?
00:44:22Find anything?
00:44:23No way this was a natural heart attack. He was jacked up on performance drugs.
00:44:26Plus, I've got a hunch. Jenny had company in that bathroom.
00:44:31You can actually sense something like that?
00:44:33Better than telling you the bugs on the night stain saw everything.
00:44:36And for the record, Jenny didn't scream when he died.
00:44:39She waited until she heard us coming down the hall to put on a show.
00:44:43Okay, seriously, how could you possibly know that?
00:44:45Sorry. Just connect the dots.
00:44:47She's got gut instinct, Moralee. Don't go spinning ghost stories.
00:44:49Every time she has a gut instinct, she nails the perp dead to rights!
00:44:53Just pointing out angles. Forensics and interrogations are on you guys.
00:44:56Lock down the floor. Put Jenny in box one downtown. High priority interrogation.
00:45:01Copy that.
00:45:07Why'd you kill him, Jenny? Because he refused to divorce his wife? And go public with you?
00:45:13I didn't! His heart gave out! It was an accident!
00:45:16Toxicology ran his blood.
00:45:18Cellivane levels were through the roof.
00:45:20Lethal overdass. And your prints are all over the water glass.
00:45:23Care to explain?
00:45:26Moralee's ruthless.
00:45:27Way tougher than when she had me in that chair.
00:45:29Yeah, Moralee knows how to turn the screws.
00:45:31I just poured the water. I didn't drug him. I swear I didn't!
00:45:36So Chris had a fatal heart condition, but melted half a bottle of Viagra into his own water.
00:45:41To kill himself in front of you?
00:45:44He always popped pills before. Maybe he just took too many.
00:45:47Is he a kid? A grown man doesn't accidentally overdose on prescription enhancers with a bad ticker.
00:45:52Stop treating me like an idiot!
00:45:55Did you poison Chris? Yes or no?
00:45:57No! Please!
00:45:59We will trace where you bought the compounded powder.
00:46:02Dark web. Local dealer. It's only a matter of hours.
00:46:06You want first degree murder? Life without parole?
00:46:11Last chance. Give it some thought.
00:46:15You're young, Jenny. First time offender.
00:46:18You show remorse. Co-operate with the state. The DA gives you manslaughter.
00:46:23You serve a few years and walk out with your life ahead of you.
00:46:27I did it! I killed him!
00:46:30Just like that? She cracked already?
00:46:32Surprised?
00:46:33On TV, suspects hold out for days until a lawyer swoops in.
00:46:36Real life isn't Hollywood.
00:46:38Most amateurs who kill are instantly drowning in panic and guilt.
00:46:43They want someone to pull them out of the water.
00:46:46So, since the homicide is cleared, do I get a cut of the department consultant fund?
00:46:52Actually, I have an official offer for you.
00:46:55Shoot.
00:46:56The department wants to retain you as an external investigative consultant.
00:47:00Major crimes only. Base monthly retainer, plus performance bounties on cleared homicides.
00:47:06You're offering to pay me for my intuition?
00:47:08Only catch is you'd have to quit your day job. Full availability.
00:47:12Consider my two-week notice submitted by Sunrise.
00:47:15Welcome to the squad, kid.
00:47:16Jenny was always the sweetest girl in the accounting pool.
00:47:19Ruining her entire future over a pig like Chris.
00:47:22Why?
00:47:22Start from the beginning. What was the motive?
00:47:27Because... because Chris raped me.
00:47:30What? Chris assaulted her?
00:47:31But they were-
00:47:32Two months ago. Company mixer. He kept slipping shots into my soda.
00:47:38I blacked out, and when I woke up, I was in that hotel room.
00:47:43With him on top of me. That monster raped me!
00:47:47Why didn't you go to the police?
00:47:49He recorded it!
00:47:51Said he'd tell my parents that I threw myself at him for a promotion.
00:47:55He threatened to ruin my family.
00:47:58You were terrified of him, but you stayed as his mistress?
00:48:04Did you keep any physical evidence?
00:48:06Clothes, underwear, texts?
00:48:08No! I burned everything!
00:48:11Every time I looked at those clothes, I wanted to claw my own skin off!
00:48:18Then why kill him tonight? What pushed you over the edge?
00:48:22He ordered me to sleep with two Enterprise clients tonight.
00:48:25Two of them! To close his quarterly quotas!
00:48:29I couldn't do it! I just couldn't take it anymore!
00:48:33The mixer two months ago? That really happened.
00:48:36You were there?
00:48:38Yeah. I slipped out before nine. I didn't expect this.
00:48:41Where did you source the compounded powder?
00:48:44You don't know?
00:48:45Got the preliminary lab results.
00:48:47We're launching a probe into the assault.
00:48:49If your story holds water, I'll go to the DA myself to push for a lighter sentence.
00:48:55Thank you so much!
00:48:57Two months out, no kit, no clothing preserved.
00:49:00Proving non-consent post-mournously is going to be an uphill battle.
00:49:05Check Chris's encrypted cloud backups.
00:49:07Narcissists like him never delete leverage.
00:49:09Sharp thinking, Miss Vance.
00:49:11Come sunrise, you're rolling with our forensics team to search Chris's office.
00:49:15And pack up your desk while you're at it.
00:49:17Man, detective. You're more eager to see me unemployed than I am.
00:49:22What's with all the suits? Did someone embezzle? Haven't you heard?
00:49:25Chris dropped dead in a hotel room last night. With Jenny.
00:49:28No way. Jenny? She's gorgeous. What the hell was she doing with that sleazeball?
00:49:33Detective, tech cleared Chris's phone and computer. Just routine work emails and chats with Jenny. Nothing fishy.
00:49:39Could the tape be a bluff? Maybe he just invented it to keep her under his thin.
00:49:42Morley corroborated it. Chris showed Jenny the recording on his laptop at work.
00:49:46Then he'd rewatch it at home while video calling her to mock her.
00:49:48Sick. Twisted bastard. What if he kept it off the network? A dedicated external drive?
00:49:54Definitely on the table. But we tore his office apart.
00:49:56Found a single thumb drive with quarterly projections. No video files.
00:50:00If it's not here, it's at his house.
00:50:01Take Morley and canvas the residence. I've got a thing, so you two take the lead.
00:50:07Evidence is a bust. I broke it to Jenny. She says he only confronted her face to face.
00:50:11Then came the waterworks. Swearing to God it was rape.
00:50:14Do you believe her? I'm a cop. I believe what can be entered into evidence.
00:50:18You?
00:50:22I believe her. Nobody signs up to be a side piece to a creep like that unless their back is
00:50:28against the wall.
00:50:28The DA might show leniency if she fully cooperates, but without corroboration, it's just a killer's sob story.
00:50:35You want me to talk to his widow?
00:50:37You were holding her hand when she busted him. Figured you two had rapport.
00:50:40If I can help, I don't need an invitation.
00:50:43But Mrs. Chris and I aren't exactly grabbing mimosas on weekends.
00:50:46Wait. You're telling me Chris assaulted that girl?
00:50:49Miss Vance? You knew about this?
00:50:52I only read Jenny's statement last night, ma'am.
00:50:54You let an entry-level clerk read confidential interrogations?
00:50:57Miss Vance is retained as a special consultant with the department.
00:51:00Her profiling has been instrumental on several major homicides.
00:51:04Unbelievable. The girl Chris used to treat like an errand runner is consulting on his murder case?
00:51:10Nobody's trying to clear Jenny of murder. She committed a crime and she'll face a jury.
00:51:14But if she's telling the truth, she was his victim first. Nobody deserves what she went through.
00:51:18We just want the truth, Mrs. Chris. We need your help to find it.
00:51:21I took it for a dirty affair, not something this monstrous. He's the father of my children.
00:51:26I'll help, but there's a line.
00:51:28Where did he stash things he didn't want anyone to find?
00:51:30Come with me.
00:51:35I know this combination. If it was blackmail collateral, he wouldn't keep it in shared space.
00:51:41Mind if we do a wider sweep of the premises? We won't disturb your personal belongings.
00:51:44Go ahead.
00:51:46Catching another vibe? Your vision should be registered as a lethal weapon, Vulse.
00:51:50Nothing yet. I'm gonna check the halls.
00:51:52I'll check the spare rooms. Give you some room to work.
00:51:56Intuition. Right. And I'm the Queen of England.
00:52:01Any roaches? Flies? Anyone on shift?
00:52:07You keep the place immaculate, Mrs. Chris. Not a single mouse or bug in sight.
00:52:10Of course not.
00:52:12Why would there be vermin in my penthouse?
00:52:14Sorry. Didn't mean anything by it.
00:52:16My building has an awful infestation. Landlord's useless, so I was wondering what service you use.
00:52:20We had water bugs last spring.
00:52:22Put out bait stations and brought in an exterminator for a deep fumication.
00:52:25Haven't seen one since.
00:52:26Great. Chemical warfare wiped out my entire witness pool.
00:52:30Sounds thorough. I'll have to look into that.
00:52:32Cleanness is prevention, Miss Vance. That's all there is to it.
00:52:35Thank you for your time, Mrs. Chris. We'll let you get some rest.
00:52:38Turn the whole place inside out. Drawers, baseboards, vents. Not a damn thing.
00:52:42You think maybe she...
00:52:44You're lying, Jenny.
00:52:46I am not! Why would I fabricate something like that?
00:52:49He hid the drive. Did you pull the hotel security feeds?
00:52:52We did. Desk clerk gave a deposition. You weren't out of it.
00:52:55You walked into that lobby right next to Chris and waited while he checked in.
00:52:59Oh no! He bragged about it!
00:53:02He pulled up the video on his screen and forced me to watch it over and over again.
00:53:07Without hard corroborate, no grand jury is buying self-defense. Her credibility is toast.
00:53:11I need to go back to Chris's house. Alone.
00:53:14I'll clear it with Harris.
00:53:19Harris says Chris's wife wants to speak with you first. Personally.
00:53:23With me?
00:53:26Jenny kept her head down at the office. Didn't know her well, but she never seemed like the type to
00:53:30chase a married superior.
00:53:31Part of me knew something was wrong. I just chose to ignore it.
00:53:34Now I can't help wondering if I hadn't looked away, would any of this even have happened?
00:53:38You didn't pull any triggers, Mrs. Chris. Chris made his own bed.
00:53:41Harris told me you needed time alone in the apartment. What are you looking for, Tessa?
00:53:45I know it sounds unorthodox, but I do my best thinking without distractions. I won't touch your valuables. Swear.
00:53:54Take the keys. I can't stand being inside these balls anyway. The place is yours tonight.
00:54:00Did the fumication really get every single one?
00:54:05God! A mountain of sugar. I gotta get mom and dad.
00:54:08Bingo.
00:54:10Holy crap. That's an entire village.
00:54:13Oh, darling, you're brilliant. A feast fit for royalty.
00:54:17Looks good, right? Would have been a shame to let all that organic cream go to waste. Give the kid
00:54:21a raise.
00:54:22See? Finally! Some appreciation around here.
00:54:24Don't let it go to your head, sweetie.
00:54:26Give him three seconds, he's gonna give an Oscar acceptance speech.
00:54:30Wait. I didn't say anything just now.
00:54:32Human! The ape is talking!
00:54:34Get real. Humans don't speak dialect.
00:54:37Look up, you idiot!
00:54:38Hey there, neighbors.
00:54:39Run!
00:54:44Run! The giant's awake! It's a trap! It's bio-warfare!
00:54:49Wait! I'm not here to stomp you. I just need information. Nobody's getting exterminated, alright? Come back!
00:54:55Somebody help! I'm sinking!
00:54:58Easy. I won't hurt you.
00:55:01I can't believe this is my life.
00:55:03I led them to the sugar, ape! Take me! Leave my family out of this!
00:55:07Who said anything about killing anyone?
00:55:10Go, brother! Save yourself! My gluttony sealed my fate! Let the monster feast!
00:55:18I'll never abandon you, little sister.
00:55:21You're the best big brother in the whole sewer!
00:55:24Alright, wrap it up, Shakespeare. I need answers. If you talk, not only do you walk, you get free rill
00:55:30on the cake.
00:55:31Fish my sister out first. Then we talk.
00:55:36See? All in one piece.
00:55:39Scatter! What are you doing? Run!
00:55:42Wait. This whole thing is really ours?
00:55:45Every crumb. Just do me a favor first.
00:55:48Dinner's safe, guys! The giant bought us cake!
00:55:51Idiots. Trusting an ape? She's fattening us up before the spray!
00:55:55Hey. Over here. One quick question.
00:55:59You sure you won't squish me?
00:56:01Scouts off.
00:56:03See, bro? She's cool! Tell everyone to come eat!
00:56:06What's the catch, human? We eat, we breed, we dodge shoes. We don't have secrets.
00:56:11You live in these walls full-time? Born and raised behind the drywall.
00:56:15Did you ever see the fat man watch videos of other women in here?
00:56:20Oh yeah. Tons.
00:56:22Seriously? What did he do after watching them?
00:56:25He'd pant like a dog, pull a bunch of tissues off the box, shove them down his-
00:56:29Woos! Stop! TMI! Keep it PG!
00:56:32What about after he pulled his pants up? What'd he do with the file?
00:56:36He unplugged a little black thing from behind the TV, about my size.
00:56:40Then he dragged a stepladder over, and tucked it inside the ceiling chandelier.
00:56:45Left! One more globe to the left. Right there.
00:56:49Gotcha, you sick creep.
00:56:51Well, I'll be damned. You really did bring us cake.
00:56:54Want gourmet takeout like this every week?
00:56:57What's the gig?
00:56:58Move into my place. Run recon for me. I pay in artisan carbs.
00:57:02You mean spy on things only bugs can see? Like today?
00:57:05Smart guy. I go to lots of crime scenes. I need local informants on the ground.
00:57:09All-you-can-eat pastry buffet. No raid cans.
00:57:13Hop in the bakery box.
00:57:22Lefters?
00:57:23Thank God I'm starving.
00:57:26Hands off. It's for my pets at home.
00:57:29Fine, Stingy. Find anything?
00:57:31Stashed inside the living room chandelier.
00:57:33Shut up. You actually found it?
00:57:36Touch DNA should still be all over the casing. This is the whole damn case.
00:57:42Miss Vance, you've never watched footage like this. You sure you want to sit in?
00:57:47I'll manage.
00:57:52Excuse me.
00:58:01Take a sip.
00:58:04Thanks.
00:58:05Having you on board spiked our case closure.
00:58:08Trust me. The bad guys are going down.
00:58:13The USB drive validated Jenny's statement.
00:58:16The DA will dismiss the case against her.
00:58:18And Chris's assets will be frozen.
00:58:20It's done Tessa.
00:58:22Thank God. At least nobody took that abuse for nothing.
00:58:26It should perk you up faster than caffeine.
00:58:30This is the reward money for that serial killer case.
00:58:34Already?
00:58:36We needed a quick close and you delivered.
00:58:38Take the cash and get yourself a proper place.
00:58:42Guess who's never eating frozen clearance pizza ever again.
00:58:52Now that's what I call dinner.
00:58:54Anything goes down on this side of the tracks, you holler for Jerry.
00:59:02Sweet lord almighty European imports. The guys are gonna flip.
00:59:06Boys! The human hooked us up! Midnight buffet!
00:59:13All right, Vance. I owe you a real apology.
00:59:16Locking you in holding on night one goes down as one of the dumber calls of my career.
00:59:22It's fine. 300 grand hit my bank account today, so I've decided to be generous.
00:59:28See? That's why you're my favorite. Brutally honest.
00:59:32But seeing that pig in cuffs? God, I almost started clapping in the middle of the lobby.
00:59:36The whole thing still feels like a fever dream.
00:59:38If someone told me last week that city vermin could clear homicide files, I'd have checked myself into psych.
00:59:45Better be nice to the little guys. We've got plenty more cases to close.
00:59:48Can't argue with results. Just glad I made detective before the rats stole my pension.
00:59:53To Detroit's most unhinged consultant. To finally ditching frozen pizza.
00:59:56Cheers!
