00:00:00I'm trying to surpass the Burj Khalifa as world's tallest structure.
00:00:24The bride wanted seven tears for her lucky prime number.
00:00:29We will get lucky this weekend and meet a couple of millionaires of our own.
00:00:33I feel like I'm going to be piping champagne buttercream in my sleep tonight.
00:00:39Well, you're optimistic. What sleep?
00:00:43Is this side an eighth of an inch shorter than this side?
00:00:48Okay, is this because you are catering the society wedding of the decade or
00:00:52because it's Jessamyn's wedding?
00:00:53Both in no particular order.
00:00:55Admit it.
00:00:56You just want Jessamyn to eat her words about your little business.
00:01:00Is that so wrong?
00:01:01Did I hear my name?
00:01:05Oh, Goldie, your cake is stunning.
00:01:09Well, it's not done, but thank you so much.
00:01:12What are you talking about, Mother?
00:01:14Those are macadamia nuts on my wedding cake.
00:01:17I told Goldie a thousand times Sterling's allergic to tree nuts.
00:01:22And is that a Juliet rose I see?
00:01:25You know that Romeo and Juliet's love went from epic to tragic almost overnight, right?
00:01:30Why not just break a mirror on my cake?
00:01:34Jessamyn.
00:01:34Well, well, we can replace the Juliet rose with a, um, um, a peony lactiflora.
00:01:48A peony.
00:01:49Those stand for love and good fortune.
00:01:51Love and good fortune.
00:01:52Good.
00:01:53And also, they aren't macadamia nuts.
00:01:56They are pure Madagascar white chocolate.
00:01:59There is not a nut in sight.
00:02:02Except for the one in front of us.
00:02:09Still, get rid of them.
00:02:11Pearls of any sort represent future tears and heartache in a marriage.
00:02:15Do I have to micromanage everything?
00:02:17Let's go, Mother.
00:02:23Well, as expected, she is the ultimate Bratzilla.
00:02:26And she is also our client.
00:02:28And nothing is going to stop us from putting on the most memorable rehearsal dinner and
00:02:32wedding reception Elk Park has ever seen.
00:02:34Even if it kills us.
00:02:36Now, let's go find some peonies.
00:03:26I've been waiting for this moment for so long.
00:03:29I've been waiting for this moment for so long.
00:03:31I've been waiting for this moment for so long.
00:03:33I've been waiting for this moment for so long.
00:03:35You haven't aged a day.
00:03:36Wow, and you're still the charmer.
00:03:38Apparently not charming enough.
00:03:40Let's just say not everyone has given me as warm a welcome.
00:03:43Well, you and Hunter are going to be family now, so you're just going to have to play nice.
00:03:47I always play nice.
00:03:49Even if my future brother-in-law doesn't.
00:03:52That is Elk Park for you.
00:03:57Yes, more.
00:03:59More, ladies, more.
00:04:01Big smiles, ladies.
00:04:03All together.
00:04:05She does light up a room, doesn't she?
00:04:07I mean...
00:04:09Excuse me.
00:04:11Yes, of course.
00:04:13All right, ladies.
00:04:15Mwah.
00:04:17Pinch me.
00:04:19Am I dreaming or is this actually happening?
00:04:21Ow, fuck.
00:04:23What for a delicate flower?
00:04:25You are stronger than you look.
00:04:27It's all the espresso.
00:04:29See, Marla?
00:04:31You guys, it's been forever.
00:04:33Katie.
00:04:35I thought that was you out there.
00:04:37Wait, you're a bridesmaid?
00:04:39Maid of honor, actually.
00:04:41Wow, I guess I didn't realize that you and Jess were friends in high school.
00:04:43Yeah, we kept in touch even though we went to different state colleges.
00:04:45But we're BFFs now.
00:04:47Crazy, right?
00:04:49Well, you look great.
00:04:51Ever better.
00:04:53Here you go, babe.
00:04:55Thanks, hon.
00:04:57Okay, Marla, this is my boyfriend, Ray, and Sterling's best man.
00:04:59These are my old high school friends.
00:05:01Minus the old part.
00:05:03So, did you guys meet in San Francisco?
00:05:05Born and raised.
00:05:07I was classmates with Sterling in college,
00:05:09and Katie had just broken poor Sterling's heart.
00:05:11Oh, please. You love that you got the girl.
00:05:13Guilty. I'm a lucky man.
00:05:15And is that when
00:05:17Jess and Sterling started seeing each other?
00:05:19No, that was way after that.
00:05:21They reconnected at one of our house parties, right, babes?
00:05:23Yeah, yeah, just after she and Tom got divorced.
00:05:25She'd been living in San Francisco for a few years by then,
00:05:27and we were hanging out.
00:05:29Ray and I invited her over.
00:05:31She and Sterling reconnected,
00:05:33and here we are.
00:05:35Hey, Ray.
00:05:37Sorry, ladies, there's a 30-year single moth calling.
00:05:41Nice to meet you.
00:05:43Nice to meet you, too.
00:05:45Hey, let's all grab lunch after the wedding to catch up.
00:05:47Yeah, have fun.
00:05:49Oh, what a cute couple.
00:05:51Don't you hate being single with these things?
00:05:53You will always be my plus one.
00:05:57Ma'am, these are so good.
00:05:59You like Dimas, aren't you?
00:06:01I love the parts that she leaves.
00:06:03She's perfect.
00:06:05Oh, thank you, thank you so much.
00:06:07It's such a beautiful spread.
00:06:09Oh, you're welcome.
00:06:11Oh, yes, yes, nothing too good for your daughter.
00:06:13Love how these bees slide around.
00:06:15Actually, they're bison.
00:06:17Bison?
00:06:19Yeah, per the bride's request.
00:06:21Of course they are.
00:06:23Well, I better grab a couple more and get my money's worth.
00:06:25There you go.
00:06:27He's accepted Jess as his own.
00:06:29She looks so happy.
00:06:33Doesn't she?
00:06:35With her band of besties.
00:06:39Well, I think it's really nice
00:06:41that so many people have found love a second time around.
00:06:45Get a scotch, meat.
00:06:47Chester! Taking a break from all that wheeling and dealing?
00:06:49Working weight.
00:06:51Tonight is all about sporting Jess.
00:06:53Right.
00:06:55Doubt it all you want.
00:06:57Jess and I make solid partners.
00:06:59You've got big goals for Whitetail.
00:07:01I don't doubt Jess's sincerity.
00:07:03I doubt yours.
00:07:05While she's distracted planning this wedding,
00:07:07you're quietly trying to poach her high-end clients.
00:07:11What are you talking about?
00:07:13I'm on to you.
00:07:15And as soon as this wedding's over,
00:07:17Jess will be too.
00:07:29Hey, this is Bison.
00:07:39I've got to talk to Tommy.
00:07:41Hi, Katie.
00:07:43Hello.
00:07:45So good to see you.
00:07:47Have a seat.
00:07:49Thank you.
00:07:51I appreciate you coming, Tommy.
00:07:53Well, I appreciate the invite.
00:07:57Take a picture while I'm going to last longer.
00:07:59What?
00:08:03No, I was just trying to make sure
00:08:05that the waiter was, you know,
00:08:07doing the same thing.
00:08:09Uh-huh.
00:08:11Anyway, I'm headed to Charlotte's house.
00:08:13Her mom's here.
00:08:15Oh, okay. I love you.
00:08:17Text me when you get there, okay?
00:08:19I'm Charlotte's mom. I said thank you.
00:08:21Yay!
00:08:27Hey! Oh, come on, man!
00:08:29It's expensive.
00:08:31If looks could kill.
00:08:35It's a far cry from City Hall, huh?
00:08:37Come on, City Hall worked.
00:08:39Worked? No, it didn't. We're divorced.
00:08:41Anyway, water under the bridge now.
00:08:43This time,
00:08:45I'm doing it right.
00:08:47I hope he makes you happy.
00:08:49I hope the same for you, too, one day.
00:08:55Congratulations. Excuse me.
00:09:01Am I allowed in here?
00:09:03It's my kitchen.
00:09:05You can sit here anywhere I am.
00:09:07Well, you did it again.
00:09:09Oh.
00:09:11And to put a smile on Jess's face?
00:09:13That's not easy.
00:09:15She wasn't that bad.
00:09:17You know, it was, um...
00:09:19fun.
00:09:21You're a terrible liar.
00:09:23You know, this is why I'm the chef
00:09:25and you're the detective, right?
00:09:27Oh, I'm off-duty tonight.
00:09:29Is a cop ever off-duty?
00:09:31Stick around. You'll find out.
00:09:33How's it going?
00:09:35The heat?
00:09:37Yeah.
00:09:39Child's play.
00:09:41Mm-hmm.
00:09:47See, now this is fun.
00:09:49Yeah.
00:09:55Hey.
00:09:57Is that him?
00:09:59The famous detective?
00:10:01Yeah.
00:10:03What are you doing up in Champagne?
00:10:05I'm celebrating.
00:10:07I'm getting married to the most gorgeous bride
00:10:09in Oak Park.
00:10:11There you are.
00:10:15Do they look like a couple to you?
00:10:17Does it matter?
00:10:19Look at you now, honey.
00:10:21I'd say you upgraded.
00:10:23Oh.
00:10:25Oh, easy.
00:10:27What?
00:10:29Dad.
00:10:37Hey.
00:10:39Hi. You leaving?
00:10:41I had fun.
00:10:43You did?
00:10:45I did have fun. Yep.
00:10:47So, my fiancé
00:10:49is upset at me
00:10:51for some reason.
00:10:53Katie,
00:10:55how about you and I grab a drink
00:10:57and maybe you and I
00:10:59could give it another go?
00:11:01Ray, I'm just...
00:11:03I'm kidding. Lighten up, man.
00:11:05Lighten up. Is this a party
00:11:07or a funeral?
00:11:09Leave my girlfriend out of it.
00:11:11I'm gonna need you to handle that.
00:11:13I was just joking.
00:11:15Come on, man. I'm getting married tomorrow.
00:11:17Yeah, well, some things aren't funny, man.
00:11:19You know what's not funny?
00:11:21You ruined my watch.
00:11:23You don't see me complaining about that, okay?
00:11:25Oh, yeah, as you keep telling us it's a Rolex,
00:11:27well, what's a little champagne gonna do?
00:11:29You know what? I think you've had enough.
00:11:31No, I think it's past your bedtime.
00:11:33Okay, maybe if you hadn't spilled all my dad's champagne
00:11:35on your watch, you'd still have a functioning Rolex.
00:11:37What's your problem? With you?
00:11:39I don't know. You're entitled, spoiled, narcissistic, can't dress.
00:11:41Oh, those big words
00:11:43from a little man.
00:11:45You know what? Maybe you should sell some more
00:11:47of your daddy's flawed software to the town.
00:11:51He said he could buy you a new Rolex, huh, big guy?
00:11:53Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey.
00:11:55Knock it off.
00:11:57Think of Jess.
00:12:03I'm telling you, think of Jess.
00:12:07Relax, all right?
00:12:11Hey, hey.
00:12:13Go home
00:12:15and sleep it off.
00:12:17You don't want to do this.
00:12:23Ugh.
00:12:29Ugh.
00:12:31Let's go make some coffee.
00:12:33500 unlucky white chocolate
00:12:35pearls need to be refashioned.
00:12:37Hey,
00:12:39come with me. I'll get you some ice.
00:12:41Thanks. Yeah.
00:12:43Should have gone home earlier.
00:12:45Goldie.
00:12:47Hmm?
00:12:49Have you seen Sterling?
00:12:51He's gone and not answering his phone.
00:12:53Ah!
00:13:07Oh, God.
00:13:09Oh, God.
00:13:23Hey, Quinn.
00:13:27Detective.
00:13:29Where's Jess?
00:13:31We can't find her.
00:13:33But I notified next to Ken, Sterling's parents.
00:13:35Send a squad car to her hotel room.
00:13:37We need to find her right now, Mason.
00:13:39I'll call Jess' mom, okay?
00:13:41Goldie and Marla are upstairs.
00:13:43Okay.
00:13:49Hey, ladies.
00:13:51Hey.
00:13:53You okay?
00:13:55You know where Jess is?
00:13:57No.
00:13:59I hope she's okay.
00:14:01Detective.
00:14:03Yes?
00:14:05What you got?
00:14:07Nothing conclusive, but looks like blunt force trauma
00:14:09to his right temporal region.
00:14:11I won't know more until I do the autopsy.
00:14:13TOD?
00:14:15I'd estimate time of death within the last few hours.
00:14:17What's this?
00:14:19Some sort of rash. Forensics swabbed it.
00:14:21Strange. It's only on his right hand.
00:14:23Yeah.
00:14:25Did you find a cell phone?
00:14:27They're searching the perimeter.
00:14:35Impact blood spatter.
00:14:37What you thinking, boss?
00:14:39I don't know, detective.
00:14:41What do you think I'm thinking?
00:14:43You want me to...
00:14:45Um...
00:14:47Medium velocity.
00:14:49Forward spatter.
00:14:51If the victim died from blunt force trauma,
00:14:53this may be our murder weapon.
00:14:55Very good.
00:14:57If it was foul play, don't jump to any conclusions.
00:14:59We still need to get statements,
00:15:01DNA swabs, and fingerprints.
00:15:03Okay.
00:15:09Ray, this is
00:15:11Detective Kildea.
00:15:13Mason.
00:15:15Ah!
00:15:17You okay?
00:15:19Yeah.
00:15:21Well, you can have a seat, Ray.
00:15:23Sure.
00:15:27So, um, when was the last time
00:15:29you saw Sterling?
00:15:31This morning,
00:15:33around nine.
00:15:35He, uh, stepped outside
00:15:37for a few minutes, but he never
00:15:39came back.
00:15:41Did he say he was meeting with anybody?
00:15:43No, we were ready to go to the church.
00:15:45I tried texting and calling, but he never
00:15:47responded.
00:15:49Have you seen or heard from Jess?
00:15:51No, not since last night.
00:15:53I was in the kitchen all morning prepping
00:15:55hors d'oeuvres. Nothing was off on my end.
00:15:57Well, from my end,
00:15:59everything was off. I passed through
00:16:01the lobby, and that's when I found Sterling.
00:16:03And Ray checked for a pulse.
00:16:05We tried CPR, but, um,
00:16:09nothing worked.
00:16:11What time was that? 10.30.
00:16:13Were the doors locked? Yes.
00:16:15No, Goldie had already opened them.
00:16:17Deliveries were coming in and out.
00:16:19I'll need a list of those vendors.
00:16:21What was Sterling's mood like the last time you saw him?
00:16:23Combative.
00:16:25He was in a great mood.
00:16:27How'd you get that black eye?
00:16:29I tripped and fell.
00:16:31Hit my face right on a doorknob.
00:16:33Uh-huh.
00:16:35Did Sterling have any enemies?
00:16:37Everyone loved Sterling.
00:16:39Everyone hated Sterling.
00:16:41I liked Sterling. Ann didn't like Sterling.
00:16:43Call if you remember anything else.
00:16:45Is it just me,
00:16:47or are these people contradicting each other?
00:16:49Eyewitness testimonies
00:16:51are like slogging through mud.
00:16:53Somewhere in between lies the truth.
00:16:55Uh,
00:16:57boss?
00:16:59They found Sterling's cell 100 yards from here.
00:17:01Jessamine's purse, key fob,
00:17:03and car keys were in her hotel room
00:17:05as signs of a struggle.
00:17:07No cell phone.
00:17:09No Jess.
00:17:11Tell them to seal off Jess's hotel room.
00:17:13Nobody goes in.
00:17:25Hey.
00:17:49Hey.
00:17:51Oh, thank goodness you're here.
00:17:53Jess is missing. What is going on?
00:17:55We're gonna find her.
00:17:56Is it true? Is Sterling really dead?
00:18:01I'm afraid so, yes.
00:18:04Who would want to do this to Sterling? And Jess? I don't...
00:18:10When did you last see Jess?
00:18:12This morning. We were all taking photos and drinking mimosas.
00:18:16She said she needed a moment and wanted us all out of her hotel room.
00:18:20So we gave her space.
00:18:22You know how she gets sometimes.
00:18:24What time was that?
00:18:25I don't know. Eight-ish? Maybe?
00:18:28I started getting worried because when it was time to leave she wasn't answering her calls.
00:18:31Yeah, Anne stayed here and I drove around looking for her.
00:18:37Where's Lawrence?
00:18:38He went home earlier. He wasn't feeling well.
00:18:41Is there someplace Jess could have gone? She wasn't getting cold feet, was she?
00:18:45No. She loves Sterling.
00:18:48I mean, Jess has been known to take off.
00:18:52Remember Bollie? She went there for two weeks without telling anyone.
00:18:55No, no, no.
00:18:56Just because.
00:18:57This is different. This is her wedding day.
00:19:02Lawrence.
00:19:04What about Jess? Any news?
00:19:06No.
00:19:07We have to treat Jess as a missing person.
00:19:19What is it?
00:19:21Find something?
00:19:22How do they fold a towel to look like a swan?
00:19:26Doesn't make sense.
00:19:27Mason?
00:19:29Focus.
00:19:30Sorry. Crime scene.
00:19:40Money and credit cards intact. It's definitely not a robbery.
00:19:43Boss, do you think it's possible?
00:19:45I'm not saying your ex is a cold-blooded killer or anything.
00:19:48But could Jessamyn have done it and skipped town?
00:19:51Not a chance.
00:19:53She never left that Chanel purse behind.
00:19:59There's only one candle holder.
00:20:01It's a pair that's missing.
00:20:03Well, let's keep our eyes peeled for the other one.
00:20:05What else is off in Miss Quill's room?
00:20:08Oh, um.
00:20:10It's messy.
00:20:12For a lady.
00:20:13You don't know Jessamyn.
00:20:14Aside from that, her clothes are all here, but there's no suitcase.
00:20:28Hi, welcome.
00:20:29How you doing?
00:20:31I don't, uh, I don't get it. Is this a floral shop or a coffee shop?
00:20:36It's both.
00:20:37Both. Do you sell tires and skidoos too?
00:20:40No, but you can find an abundance of sass, spunk and shell shock.
00:20:46Sorry, it's been a long and trying day.
00:20:50What can I get you?
00:20:51Just a black coffee, thanks.
00:20:54You, uh, sure you don't want to try one of our specials?
00:20:58It's all a bit, uh, exotic for my taste.
00:21:01I mean, the grilled cheese sounds okay, but why are you going to mess it up with truffle creminis, whatever those are?
00:21:08Creminis? Uh, they're mushrooms, and they are full of antioxidants.
00:21:13So, pass on.
00:21:14Whatever those are too, just the coffee's good.
00:21:16Okay, enjoy.
00:21:18Thanks.
00:21:19Oh, you're good, keep it.
00:21:22Oh, Marla, it's your lucky day. You can finally get those Gucci heels you wanted.
00:21:33It looks taller than I thought it would be.
00:21:35Yeah.
00:21:37Let me give you a boost.
00:21:39Why can't I give you a boost? I've been working out.
00:21:41You think I'm going in there?
00:21:45No.
00:21:46Don't argue, Mason, come on. Get on my knee.
00:21:48Fine.
00:21:50Is that okay?
00:21:51Yeah, knee on my shoulder.
00:21:52Yeah, there we go.
00:21:54What?
00:21:55Why don't you have a breakfast?
00:21:56Oh, uh, my mom made me an omelette, but she ran out of hash browns, so...
00:21:59Use your rhetorical question, Mason.
00:22:02Oh, it's disgusting in here.
00:22:06Just stay focused. Dig.
00:22:09Oh, wait, I see something. I got it.
00:22:14And look, there's blood and hair.
00:22:19Try to curb your enthusiasm that my ex might be dead.
00:22:32Yes, sir, can I just...
00:22:34I hate to say it, but he had it coming.
00:22:36Sterling waltzes into town, butter doesn't melt in his mouth,
00:22:40catering swanky dinners with ice sculptures and fountains,
00:22:43and my dad has to pull the bill. Again.
00:22:46Trust me, I am not losing sleep over either of those two freeloaders.
00:22:50Hi.
00:22:51I gotta go.
00:22:53Hi.
00:22:54I'm sorry, is this a bad time?
00:22:55No, no, not at all.
00:22:56Okay.
00:22:57Thank you so much for bringing the wedding.
00:22:59Yes, of course.
00:23:00Would have been a shame for it to go to waste.
00:23:02Well, the Hoops for Teens Foundation is grateful.
00:23:05We've had to shut down the program for two weeks while the gym was being repaired,
00:23:08but the kids are back tonight, they're gonna enjoy the meal.
00:23:10You're really making a difference.
00:23:12Trying to.
00:23:26I'll talk to Quinn about the autopsy report.
00:23:28You look into the hotel footage, but first, bring the can,
00:23:31hold it for forensics.
00:23:32Even with a rush order, it could take a couple days.
00:23:34Well, it's still backlogged, huh?
00:23:35Schultz.
00:23:38Track.
00:23:40What are you doing here?
00:23:41Nice to see you, too.
00:23:43I've been, uh, transferred.
00:23:46Temporary assignment.
00:23:50Mason, this is Detective Dave Track from Third Precinct.
00:23:53Track, this is Detective Mason Kildea.
00:23:55Look at us, three seasoned detectives all in the same room.
00:23:58Yeah, I'd say two seasoned and one bland,
00:24:01but I'll let you geniuses figure out which one's which.
00:24:03Yeah, Tom's best.
00:24:05Not everything I know.
00:24:06I'm sorry to hear that.
00:24:08Tom, I the book Schultz.
00:24:10No, that's better than Dave.
00:24:12Bend the rules, Track.
00:24:14Why are you here?
00:24:16Well, I mean, it seems that I'm in and you're out.
00:24:20You're officially on desk duty, Tom,
00:24:22so I'm gonna need the case files for Coyle and Bridgewater.
00:24:25What?
00:24:26The missing bride and dead groom.
00:24:29Yeah, I know who Coyle and Bridgewater are.
00:24:31Why am I off their cases?
00:24:33Conflict of interest?
00:24:35I mean, you're missing ex-wife,
00:24:38plus your association with the deceased.
00:24:41There's no way I'm compromised.
00:24:43Sheriff says otherwise.
00:24:45Sheriff?
00:24:49I bet you couldn't wait to come in here and tell me this.
00:24:52It's always the high-profile cases with you, huh?
00:24:54Beats traffic duty.
00:24:58Mason, give Track the case files.
00:25:00Bring him up to speed.
00:25:03Oh, honey, I'm so glad softball went well.
00:25:07Your backpack?
00:25:10I don't know, but I can check the car.
00:25:13Okay, hold on.
00:25:15Let me see.
00:25:18Oh, yeah.
00:25:19It is right here.
00:25:21Do you want me to leave it with Dad?
00:25:24Okay, I'll drop it off at X-Ray.
00:25:27The hotel fob says Jess has been entering her room at 10.40 a.m.
00:25:30Is there security footage?
00:25:32Mostly at the front, with a couple of blind spots at the side exits.
00:25:35So we never actually see Jess coming or going.
00:25:38She could have left on her own or been abducted.
00:25:42We also got an anonymous tip, an alibi.
00:25:47Anonymous, huh?
00:25:49Yeah, it was anonymous.
00:26:20Come on.
00:26:36Oh, Chester.
00:26:38Sorry, I didn't mean to scare you.
00:26:40I saw you in X-Ray, but you were walking away so fast.
00:26:42Yeah, basements and hospitals aren't my favorite.
00:26:47What are you doing in X-Ray?
00:26:49Is it about the bruise?
00:26:51My ego is more bruised than this eye.
00:26:53But I got the all clear, it's not a concussion.
00:26:55Well, that's good.
00:26:57What did happen?
00:27:00Just a heated basketball game.
00:27:05Serves me right for trying to show up a bunch of teens.
00:27:08The morning of the wedding?
00:27:10That's brave.
00:27:12It was an early game.
00:27:14I coach underserved kids basketball.
00:27:17I didn't know that.
00:27:19Yeah, Hoops for Teens.
00:27:21Jessamyn signed me up.
00:27:23She said it would be a good image for our brand.
00:27:25But it's fun.
00:27:27I could have sworn Hunter said that the program was shut down for two weeks.
00:27:37Hey.
00:27:39What's up?
00:27:41I just ran into Chester.
00:27:43He tried to recheck his alibi.
00:27:45I think he's lying about how he got that eye.
00:27:47I wish I could.
00:27:49I'm off the case.
00:27:50What?
00:27:51Conflict of interest.
00:27:53I'm pushing paper now.
00:27:55Then who's running the case? Mason?
00:27:57No, no, they brought in an outside detective.
00:27:59This guy, Dave Track.
00:28:02You say his name like you know him.
00:28:04There's history there.
00:28:06He's done some shady things to solve crimes.
00:28:08Why would they bring someone like that in?
00:28:10It was out of my control.
00:28:12I'm sorry.
00:28:13Look, whoever killed Sterling is also responsible for Jess's disappearance.
00:28:18The first 48 hours are crucial.
00:28:21Okay, so what can I do? How can I help?
00:28:25Can you break into Quinn's office and steal the autopsy report?
00:28:34What?
00:28:36No.
00:28:38I was kidding. You can't do that.
00:28:40I know you have to say what you have to say.
00:28:42But, like, we... I got it.
00:28:44I got you. I hear you.
00:28:46Don't worry about it. It's gonna be fine.
00:29:04Hey, Mason.
00:29:05Hey, Goldie.
00:29:06Hi.
00:29:07Are those snickerdoodle muffins?
00:29:09Those are, like, my favorite.
00:29:11Really? I didn't know that.
00:29:13Well, I was bringing them to the precinct, but here, help yourself.
00:29:17If you don't mind.
00:29:18Yeah.
00:29:23They're so good.
00:29:24Aw, thank you.
00:29:26You must be so busy with both cases.
00:29:28Yeah.
00:29:29Yeah.
00:29:30But I can't really talk about it, you know.
00:29:32Of course.
00:29:34I just can't stop thinking about Sterling and what happened,
00:29:38and just the pain that he must have been in.
00:29:41I mean, he had blunt force trauma to the head,
00:29:45but Quinn found champagne in his lungs.
00:29:47Drowning's not as painful as you'd think.
00:29:49Sure, the champagne burns a bit, but then Sterling probably drifted off to sleep.
00:29:52So, you know, if it helps, I hear it's a peaceful way to go.
00:29:55So, cause of death was drowning.
00:30:01Boy, what's in these snickerdoodle muffins?
00:30:03Truth serum?
00:30:05Gotta go.
00:30:07Oh, Mason.
00:30:09Oh.
00:30:12Thanks.
00:30:13Bye, Mason.
00:30:14Bye, Goldie.
00:30:29Here you go.
00:30:31Um, CCTV cameras around town showed no sign of chess,
00:30:34but the forensics came back on the candle holder.
00:30:37It's a matched adjustment to DNA.
00:30:39Thing is, there are multiple prints from the wedding party,
00:30:42plus a few partials, but they're too smeared to ID.
00:30:44No hits in CODIS.
00:30:46So whoever ditched the candle holder is likely our murderer.
00:30:49They're either very sloppy or brilliant.
00:30:53With all the prints, we would be just spinning our wheels going nowhere, and they know it.
00:30:59Whose idea was it to search the dumpsters outside the hotel?
00:31:02Tom's, but...
00:31:03There's also Tom's DNA on the victim's shoe, right?
00:31:05Yeah, but the...
00:31:06And guess who's the beneficiary of Jessamine's life insurance policy?
00:31:11I hate to say it, but it looks like we have a new person of interest.
00:31:22Oh, exactly.
00:31:23When does that happen?
00:31:24Hi! Can I help you ladies with anything?
00:31:26Just looking for now. Thanks.
00:31:28Honestly, so weird.
00:31:29I know. The lab results were so random, but I saw Quinn emptying the stomach contents myself.
00:31:35Newly dead on his wedding day. Poor guy.
00:31:37He had a swollen tongue, contact dermatitis on his hand, but no food in his stomach?
00:31:42It's plain weird.
00:31:43Hey, how about this? Your mom loves lilies.
00:31:46Do this one.
00:31:49And...
00:31:51I had to.
00:31:53Does it ever stop?
00:31:55No.
00:31:56No!
00:31:58Well, thank you for feeding me. You know, you didn't have to.
00:32:02Have you met me?
00:32:05You know, your food's good, but...
00:32:08Your company's even better.
00:32:11Goes both ways.
00:32:15How are you, um, holding up?
00:32:17I mean, I know...
00:32:19You and Jess aren't together anymore, but still, this has to be hard.
00:32:23I might not be in love with Jess still, but I just don't want anything bad to happen to her, you know?
00:32:27Of course not. No one does.
00:32:32I feel...
00:32:35Stuck now that I'm desked.
00:32:38I feel lost without my murder board.
00:32:47What?
00:32:48What?
00:32:51Not again.
00:32:53Goldie...
00:32:54Okay, listen, don't be mad, alright?
00:33:07I, uh, you know, printed out the pictures of the bridal party and used Marla's leftover flowers.
00:33:13And then they threw the seating chart out, so I took that and, well, those are just pretty.
00:33:18And I, uh, you know, made a, um, murder board.
00:33:22Yeah.
00:33:25Well, it's certainly the prettiest murder board I've ever seen.
00:33:28Thank you.
00:33:30You're not gonna lecture me, are you?
00:33:32I think it's downright brilliant.
00:33:35Well, in that case...
00:33:45Okay.
00:33:47Blunt force trauma.
00:33:50Cause of death...
00:33:51What?
00:33:52Drowning.
00:33:53Wait, are you, are you just guessing?
00:33:55It's a, it's a little more than a hunch.
00:33:57Um, allergic reaction, that's a question mark.
00:34:00How did you get your hands on the autopsy report?
00:34:02Nothing illegal.
00:34:04Um, stomach was empty.
00:34:06Goldie, you're something else.
00:34:09Is that a good thing or a bad thing?
00:34:11It's definitely a good thing.
00:34:14Mm-hmm.
00:34:16Okay, so, Hunter was saying something about selling bad software.
00:34:20You know anything about that?
00:34:22Oh, yeah.
00:34:23Well, when Sterling's family moved here from New York, his dad convinced a lot of people to fund a startup,
00:34:30whose software was supposed to be failsafe.
00:34:32Well, they didn't read the fine print, and he wanted it that way,
00:34:36because in the end, his bad software caused, well, pretty much everybody to lose their money.
00:34:41The only people that made money was Sterling's family, who then skipped town.
00:34:44Wait, that was years ago. Sterling was just a teenager. It was his father that scammed them, not Sterling.
00:34:49It's Elk Park. It's a small town. I mean, people remember these things.
00:34:54Yeah, revenge is a timeless motive for murder.
00:34:57I wonder which families were affected.
00:34:59Good question.
00:35:00Oh, one second.
00:35:02Yeah.
00:35:05Hi, ma'am. I'm Detective Trek. Sorry to intrude.
00:35:08Hi, Goldie. Marla said Tom would be here.
00:35:10She did, did she?
00:35:14Mason? Trek? What's up?
00:35:17Tom, in light of new evidence, we need to hand in your badge and gun and come with us.
00:35:22My badge and my... What new evidence? What do you mean?
00:35:25Yeah, what evidence? And also, you are clearly making a mistake here.
00:35:29Furthermore, I don't like how you're going around time-
00:35:32Goldie, it's okay. It's okay. It's okay. I'm coming.
00:35:40Hey.
00:35:42Go to City Hall. Search land registry records for foreclosures around the time of the scam.
00:35:46Okay.
00:35:49Stay safe.
00:35:50Let's go, Schultz.
00:35:51Yeah. I'm coming.
00:35:53Sorry, boss.
00:36:11Piece of cake, Goldenberry.
00:36:20Right. Maybe not a piece of cake.
00:36:30I'm sorry.
00:36:31It's okay.
00:36:32It's okay.
00:36:33It's okay.
00:36:34It's okay.
00:36:35It's okay.
00:36:36It's okay.
00:36:37It's okay.
00:36:38It's okay.
00:37:09Yes.
00:37:34I can do it. I can do it. I can do it. I can do it.
00:37:38I can do it.
00:37:39I can do it.
00:37:40I can do it.
00:37:41I can do it.

00:37:44I can do it.
00:37:45I can do it.
00:37:46I can do it.
00:37:47I can do it.
00:37:48I can do it.
00:37:49I can do it.
00:37:50I can do it.
00:37:51I can do it.
00:37:52I can do it.

00:38:03I can do it.
00:38:04I can do it.
00:38:05I can do it.
00:38:06I can do it.
00:38:08I can drop dead.
00:38:12Anne lost her house.
00:38:20The evidence points to you.
00:38:23Motive.
00:38:24Opportunity.
00:38:25Intent.
00:38:27Confess, and maybe you'll get leniency on sentencing.
00:38:36I told you she left the voicemail I called her back and she didn't answer
00:38:41is it normal for a bride to call her ex the morning of her wedding nothing
00:38:45about Jess is normal what's your angle Tom kill sterling with
00:38:51Jessica and collect her life insurance or is it that she's waiting for you and
00:38:54that this was her plan with her all along that's your theory it's absurd
00:38:59Mason you still looking for her okay we're gonna play this my way I guess
00:39:09the apple doesn't fall far from the tree huh who knows maybe you and your old
00:39:14man will be cellmates
00:39:18it's been what 25 years 24 but who's counting where's Jessamine
00:39:24Sterling cut my head so yeah there'd be blood transfer on my shoe as well as
00:39:30the champagne glass as for the life insurance policy just obviously forgot
00:39:35to change the beneficiary you know the VA hasn't filed charges yet which means
00:39:40your case has too many holes so unless you arrest me you can't keep me here any
00:39:47longer
00:39:50so I'm leaving
00:40:00don't leave town
00:40:05it wasn't right turning off an audio recorder during an interview and I get
00:40:11far if you play by the rules evidence gathered deceitfully is inadmissible in
00:40:15court wake up judging by that deer caught in headlights look you didn't
00:40:20even know Tom's dad was in slammer that's just just my normal look I'm just

00:49:54I have a crazy idea
00:50:02okay you want to preheat the oven to 350 you're gonna roll the dough evenly
00:50:08then you're gonna add a teaspoon of the filling first the cheese then the
00:50:13mushroom mixture you want to pinch the edges of the dumpling and then brush
00:50:18each dumpling with the egg wash then you bake you lost me after preheat the
00:50:24oven you'll be fine just don't overwork the dough
00:50:31but you know that goes for you too okay don't press rate too hard he's gonna
00:50:35clam up okay find out how he broke his hand but act natural that's natural got

00:52:56friend you know I always envy Sterling thought he had it all the night before

00:53:15next thing I know it's morning and he's in full tux ready to go to the church

00:54:40Sterling's allergic reaction I did find an orange substance in the back of
00:54:44Sterling's head orange yeah you sure positive because Ray had an orange
00:54:49substance on his cast he said it was from eating cassava crackers but because
00:54:54I think it tastes nutty but it's not from the nut family at all
00:54:59we need to talk to Chester yeah let's see what he's up to Wow
00:55:08Chester's realty business is booming yeah someone's making a killing
00:55:14commissions this month
00:55:17you want to go have something always
00:55:25you
00:55:38nice house yeah above my paygrade same
00:55:47let's take a look around be back here in 20
00:55:53okay I'll go this way then as you can see there's a spectacular chef's kitchen
00:55:59newly renovated with slide-out shelves I'll let you folks walk around though
00:56:04let me know if you have any questions okay what a nice surprise you can see
00:56:09you working your magic in here huh well unless that magic increases my bank
00:56:13account I think I'm gonna have to stay put so what brings you by oh we're
00:56:21friends right of course I just need to ask um why didn't you come clean about
00:56:29Sterling hitting you because he didn't Chester I know you didn't get the black
00:56:37eye playing basketball like you said
00:56:42Sterling didn't hate me Goldie he was fighting with Ray in the parking lot
00:56:47after the rehearsal dinner ended and when the groomsmen I went in to break
00:56:50them up my I hit Ray's fist sorry I lied I didn't want to look suspicious
00:56:56why was Sterling fighting his best man again I'm sorry Goldie I have to work I
00:57:04want to find Jess too but what about hoops for teens if you're willing to
00:57:09spend that much on Jess's over-the-top wedding then why not put it towards
00:57:12something more meaningful now is not the time or place when is the time dad I
00:57:18have done everything you asked and kept it quiet all these years what's up
00:57:24fellas you you kept what quiet I wouldn't have thought this type of house
00:57:30would interest you Tom well lots of things interest me what are you doing
00:57:36here I happen to own this house this was supposed to be Jessamine's listing but
00:57:41Chester has it now well why does it say it's under West Coast property yes
00:57:47it's one of my holding companies is that a problem it's not a problem I just
00:57:51I'm just wondering what the big secret is did you happen to be involved in the
00:57:56in the in the failed software company this is sounding like a police
00:58:00interrogation you don't have your badge do you it's just a friendly observation
00:58:05well I think it's time for you to leave
00:58:10okay well hey good luck with the listing
00:58:17I still think Chester is hiding something but at least now we know how
00:58:28and when Ray broke his hand we just don't know why well in my experience of
00:58:32two guys fight after a few drinks it's usually over a woman we still don't know
00:58:36how Lawrence and Hunter fit into all of this and also what is Hunter hiding well
00:58:41I think we're getting close to the truth based on Lawrence's reaction do you
00:58:44really think that Lawrence is involved in all of this I think that if he was an
00:58:48investor he sure didn't lose his shirt like everybody else we need to get our
00:58:55hands on the police records yeah yeah what's the one thing that's an abundance
00:58:59at weddings puff pastry puff puff pastries photos Goldie photos photos
00:59:07that's much better we need to talk to the photographer okay yes
00:59:13smile show some teeth yes excuse me hi you you're early the station said a
00:59:22detective would swing by later I'm in the middle of a photo shoot he is the
00:59:25detective I'm the detective yep let's get it over with I'll pull up the files
00:59:35breaks my heart a little to see these you have to attach yourself an
00:59:39investigation can't let it affect you
00:59:50this
00:59:55hey hey hey track is here we gotta hurry
01:00:02look at this oh yeah is that sweet gentle and slapping her soon-to-be son-in-law
01:00:11the night before he was killed
01:00:21thank you thank you very much
01:00:32you
01:00:36hey you got Ray leave a message hey where are you we're starting
01:00:49I hope wherever Jess is she can feel the love
01:00:55oh that's what the crack of the crackers yes and this is the silliest of
01:01:08questions you know considering but where did you get these crackers I think from
01:01:16hunter maybe the the bridal party I don't remember would you would you like
01:01:22some that would yes that would be great you know it's always good to learn about
01:01:27new snacks for parties and events trickery boards and we were throwing
01:01:33parties I think you'll like these then they're um cassava and cheddar um they're
01:01:39the only things that would settle Laurence's got it thank you thank you so
01:01:42much and after the rehearsal dinner you met Sterling in the hotel foyer would
01:01:52what do you exactly did you say to him I don't recall it was busy Oh I don't
01:02:03mean to make you uncomfortable but you slapped him
01:02:12time stamp to 12 or 5 a.m.
01:02:16I I think what Tom is trying to say is we would understand if you had
01:02:30resentment towards Sterling's family I mean after all you you lost your house
01:02:34gosh no that's that's ancient history I mean yeah it was hard some people didn't
01:02:43get over but many of us did look at Jess and Katie Katie she and Sterling
01:02:49were once engaged well Katie moved on her dad never forgave Sterling's family
01:02:55after almost losing his farm for investing in that stupid startup and I'm
01:03:00sorry I I didn't know that Sterling and Katie were engaged didn't last long
01:03:07hmm I think Katie broke it off with Sterling after she followed him to San
01:03:11Francisco and her dad would have never given his blessing but it all worked out
01:03:15in the end she met Ray and my Jess ended up with Sterling so why were you so mad
01:03:22at Sterling he said he was gonna call off the wedding I wouldn't let him do
01:03:27that so yes I lost my temper but I set him straight because I'll do anything
01:03:34from my daughter anything at all why don't you tell us this before because it
01:03:38wasn't my finest moment and I uh wait what's going on and what's happening
01:03:50they find Jess no what did you do to upset my wife I've asked her some
01:03:57questions Lawrence you know I've just about had enough out of you now get out
01:04:01of here and stay away from my family we're gonna go we are leaving come on
01:04:04thank you all right so Lawrence was involved in the startup scam he gets in
01:04:12a fight with Ray Chester stands to get whitetail realty and then Hunter stands
01:04:18to inherit and slap Sterling and also she might be responsible for the orange
01:04:24crackers so what am I looking at I tried to recreate and crackers both she and
01:04:29Ray said that they were cassava but they're not so I whipped together three
01:04:34different recipes I need you to try them starting with her original okay now try
01:04:42the cornflour
01:04:47it's not that one cauliflower
01:04:51not it either try the one in the middle
01:05:01what's that one yeah that's it yeah what is it avocado okay what does that mean
01:05:08it means someone is lying they're not cassava crackers and the interesting
01:05:12thing is that people with tree nut allergies a lot of them are severely
01:05:15allergic to avocados so Sterling was likely exposed to the allergen around 9
01:05:20a.m. and I'm willing to bet that someone saw something well outside of security
01:05:25cameras what's the next best way to get eyes on people spy glasses loitering
01:05:33teenagers on skateboards that's better yeah
01:05:38there he is mom promise you won't embarrass me what me okay fine all right
01:05:55you stay in the car we'll be right back
01:05:59hey Lucas I'm Goldie Olive's mom and this is my friend Tom what's up and I
01:06:13know who he is we can skateboard here no one said we couldn't relax relax we're
01:06:18just trying to figure out what happened to Sterling Bridgewater have you seen
01:06:22anything suspicious the last few days nope I already told the cops Lucas it's
01:06:29it's okay you can trust Tom and my mom's the best and you can trust me if there's
01:06:36anything you know just tell them
01:06:40morning of I was grinding with my board somewhere I shouldn't have please don't
01:06:45tell my mom and I saw the groom he was like arguing with the bride before she
01:06:49kissed him and sort of pushed her away and she kind of like fell backwards so
01:06:52what so you saw the bride and groom together the morning of the wedding most
01:06:57deaf she was in a fancy dress with the jacket that said besties on it with
01:07:03flowers and he had on his tux so what time was that 9 10 ish you know what
01:07:09they were arguing about and no I tails to pass him can you take us to where
01:07:14that happened
01:07:24it was here after he pushed her the groom walked that way
01:07:28I was on the ground but she was like alive and everything's okay okay thank
01:07:35you Lucas mom is it okay if me and Lucas walk back to the van
01:07:44sure yeah yeah but I'd go directly to the van and text me when you get there
01:07:50okay I'm not a cool mom all right so the morning of the wedding
01:07:59Jess and Sterling come out here emotions are running high at a big fight the
01:08:07night before so maybe they come out to talk okay Jess she goes in she goes to
01:08:13kiss him
01:08:18then he pushes her right she goes down Sterling had an orange rash in the back
01:08:26of his hand what do you do when you want to wipe a kiss off your face
01:08:32I'll be missing
01:08:41rental car keys
01:08:46Jessamine would never rent a car she's always chauffeured
01:08:51something tells me this car is parked at the hotel
01:09:01Oh
01:09:07go to the hotel okay Schultz what's up track let's go in the Colorado law
01:09:15section 18 8 1 12 I'm arresting you for class 6 only offensive impersonating
01:09:19police officer make it a big mistake no no Tom you did when you interfered in
01:09:25an active investigation under suspension as the prime suspect and
01:09:29posed as a cop to a photographer it's a mouthful let's go
01:09:59Oh
01:10:29there's a $300 charge of my credit card I never authorized
01:10:45in a fancy dress with the jacket that's a besties on machine Sterling once
01:10:50engaged well Katie moved on her dad never forgave
01:10:54Sterling's family after almost losing his farm for investing in that stupid
01:10:58start-up there's nothing more important than love
01:11:01take it for granted because
01:11:13detective the last call Sterling made was to Jess before he dropped the sub
01:11:17according to a fall detection alert software and Jim
01:11:23why is Tom here there's suspects in custody he just needs to confess her
01:11:28whereabouts we have new evidence that could help us crack both cases
01:11:40hey hey so just got back from Whitetail like you asked I compared what you found
01:11:45at the land registry to the MLS listings guess who bought most of the defaulted
01:11:50properties after Sterling's family skipped out West Co realty Lawrence gave
01:11:55out a lot of private loans for business owners to save their properties so Tom's
01:11:58hunch about Lawrence was right he was involved with a startup and there's
01:12:02something he's not saying but it doesn't matter because I think I know who did it
01:12:05you think this is gonna work only if Jess is alive but we know how small
01:12:09towns work we tell one person one thing and before we know it it gets all over
01:12:12town and flushes out the killer hopefully
01:12:18detective mm-hmm witnesses come forward with new evidence on the Sterling murder
01:12:46what witness what evidence they only want to speak with you I'm detective
01:12:54track hi you before we begin I'm a little parched
01:13:01can I have some water sure sparkling or still I'll get it
01:13:05well thank you Mason hey what took you so long
01:13:16well as fast I could Mason okay what's going on what is this well I've got some
01:13:32new evidence for you you've been barking up the wrong tree Davy have a
01:13:36seat this might take a while it's a miracle
01:13:40just escaped we are meeting at Elk Park Hotel Lobby
01:14:10what's Jess she okay I don't know she hasn't shown up yet
01:14:40I don't know what you're talking about everybody else is at the hotel but you
01:14:51came here because you wanted to see if Jess had actually escaped so where is
01:14:58she how'd you figure it out there was a witness who saw Justin Sterling kissing
01:15:08the morning of their wedding but someone as superstitious as Jess would
01:15:13never see the groom before her wedding it was you who was kissing and arguing
01:15:22with Sterling after you had eaten avocado crackers and after you kissed
01:15:28him he pushed you away
01:15:36you lost your keys which is why Ray was charged for an extra set this whole time
01:15:43you have been in love with Sterling you heard him Goldie he talked about getting
01:15:50back together he wasn't serious Katie I know that now
01:15:53but between that and hearing he had cold feet I thought he wanted me back
01:16:02where's Jess what did you do to her
01:16:07Sterling called her to confess that I kissed him he was sorry for having
01:16:13doubts and fighting with her but Jess went off on me she was gonna tell Ray
01:16:21I don't even remember what happened next
01:16:25Jess was on the floor and I was holding a bloody candle holder so you panicked
01:16:31instead of coming clean you kidnapped her you brought her somewhere here I saw
01:16:39the mud and the hay on your tires you planted her phone her book
01:16:48you had everyone thinking they were cassava crackers you you you spread
01:16:53rumors about Tommy lost his badge I didn't know what to do did you just
01:16:57decide that since you can't have him that no one else can oh I didn't know
01:17:02people with nut allergies could have a problem with avocados I only found out
01:17:08later well unfortunately it was too late Katie
01:17:18Oh
01:17:29put that down drop it
01:17:37Katie where's Jessamine I'm done talking
01:17:44look she could be anywhere I used to play hide-and-seek with Katie on this
01:17:49farm when we were little and I would never find her
01:17:53Oh
01:18:00Jess
01:18:04Jess
01:18:09yes
01:18:12yes
01:18:16Jess
01:18:19Jess we're coming. We're coming in.
01:18:32Jess it's ok. It's ok. Are you ok?
01:18:37Jess
01:18:39Where's Sterling?
01:18:43Where's my mom?
01:18:45You're safe now Jess
01:18:48Wait. You're actually gonna wear that to my wedding?
01:18:57A hamburger is not a sandwich.
01:18:59It is the literal definition of sandwich.
01:19:01Bread. Meat. Bread. Sandwich.
01:19:03That is not how this works.
01:19:09Should we go?
01:19:11Yeah. Ok.
01:19:17What's gonna happen to Katie?
01:19:27She's gonna be charged.
01:19:29But hopefully she gets the help that she needs.
01:19:33It's so sad.
01:19:35You know?
01:19:37All she ever wanted was to love and be loved.
01:19:41Thomas.
01:19:43Hey.
01:19:45I just want to thank you both for bringing Jess back.
01:19:50And I want to apologize.
01:19:52No. No need Morris.
01:19:54It's ok. I misjudged you.
01:19:56I should have said something back in New York

01:20:42I don't know how you two did it but
01:20:44Case is closed.

01:21:00Hey.
01:21:02I should be mad but
01:21:04I let it slide since you did what I would have done.
