00:00:30All right, first rule of stage photography.
00:00:59Do not leave the flash on.
00:01:01Good. Second rule of stage photography.
00:01:03Oh, sorry. Definitely don't leave the flash on.
00:01:07Excuse me, but you can't be back here.
00:01:09Oh, it's okay. We have one of these.
00:01:11Oh, Allie. It's me, Kenny Kwan.
00:01:13Kenny! What are you doing here?
00:01:15Yeah, I thought you were DJing.
00:01:17Nah, I gave that up after the Davis Cole wedding.
00:01:19The one where the groom was murdered.
00:01:21I decided to forget the whole wedding business.
00:01:23It's too dangerous.
00:01:24So, uh, what brings you back here?
00:01:26Are you getting some backstage shots?
00:01:28Don't worry about that. I'm here for my friend, Maya.
00:01:30Not every day she's cast in a Neil Conn play.
00:01:32Am I the only one who doesn't know who that is?
00:01:34Murdered by numbers? Death at the Bickridge?
00:01:36He was one of the most successful mystery playwrights of the decade.
00:01:39I'm sorry, was?
00:01:41Well, he kind of dropped off the map.
00:01:43He's staging his new one here to test it out before they take it to Broadway.
00:01:46This is his big return.
00:01:49I gotta go.
00:01:52This could be Maya's big break.
00:01:54She's maid number three.
00:01:56Noah, there are no small parts.
00:02:00Number three, Allie. Number three.
00:02:03I'm sorry, I've forgotten.
00:02:05I'm late for an appointment.
00:02:09I'm sorry, I've forgotten.
00:02:11I'm late for an appointment.
00:02:15I'm sorry, I've forgotten.
00:02:17I'm late for an appointment.
00:02:20Hello!
00:02:21I'm so glad you're here.
00:02:23I need your opinion.
00:02:24Okay, so, at the end of the first act,
00:02:26when my character discovers the governess murdered in the parlor...
00:02:29Oh, spoiler alert!
00:02:31She won the surprise.
00:02:32It's in the title, Noah.
00:02:34The stage direction calls for me to scream, but I just...
00:02:37I feel like a more honest reaction would be something subtle.
00:02:40You know, like...
00:02:45You know, isn't this something you should be running by the director?
00:02:48I tried, but he's been really distracted lately,
00:02:50and it's important that I get this right,
00:02:53because the theater critic from the New York Times will be in the audience tonight.
00:02:57What's he doing in Willow Haven?
00:02:59Apparently, he was a big supporter of Neil's earlier plays,
00:03:02and I'm hoping he'll become a big supporter of me, too.
00:03:06Can you help me run lines while I finish my makeup?
00:03:08Yeah, sure.
00:03:13Okay, bye!
00:03:14Bye.
00:03:17So...
00:03:23Excuse me.
00:03:28You're supposed to be here an hour ago! Everyone is panicked!
00:03:30Neil has Laura in costume!
00:03:32Someone slashed my tires.
00:03:34What? Did you call the police?
00:03:35No time. Where is Neil?
00:03:36I don't know.
00:03:39Are you sure you've memorized the changes to that final scene?
00:03:42Yes, Neil, I memorized them.
00:03:43Because the changes were subtle, but they're absolutely crucial.
00:03:46My gosh, Neil, I said I memorized them.
00:03:48I read them like a dozen times.
00:03:50Sarah, you did that on purpose.
00:03:54I'm so sorry I'm late.
00:03:56Cassandra.
00:03:58Car trouble.
00:03:59It's okay, it's okay.
00:04:00The most important thing is that you're here now.
00:04:02We're gonna have to hold the curtain.
00:04:04Wait, what?
00:04:05You can't really be considering that.
00:04:07The show's about to start. She's not even dressed.
00:04:09Can you be ready in ten minutes?
00:04:10I can be ready in five.
00:04:11That's my star.
00:04:12Okay, go, go, go, go, go.
00:04:16I have to find Kenny.
00:04:23That showbiz.
00:04:30Cassandra, Cassandra.
00:04:33We missed you at the cast party last night.
00:04:35Yeah, something came up.
00:04:36Well, I was hoping to have a moment alone.
00:04:38I'd like to talk to you about...
00:04:40Mr. Conn, it's almost curtain time.
00:04:42See me before you go on, please.
00:04:46Okay.
00:04:48No!
00:05:15No!
00:05:19Are you okay?
00:05:23Sorry, I just spilled coffee.
00:05:26I'm such a klutz.
00:05:28Are you sure you're okay?
00:05:30Just a little pre-show jitters.
00:05:35I have to go to the costume room.
00:05:37Excuse me.
00:05:49Sorry.
00:06:00Hey, you ready?
00:06:03I hope so.
00:06:05Oh, the Times Critic.
00:06:07There he is.
00:06:11Oh, I'm so nervous.
00:06:14One good review from him, it can't be bad.
00:06:17One good review from him can make or break the whole play.
00:06:20Maya, you're going to knock his socks off.
00:06:23Have you seen Cassandra?
00:06:25Oh, she said she was headed to the costume room.
00:06:28What do you mean the spotlight is out?
00:06:30Could you check on her, Allie?
00:06:32We're already running late. Please?
00:06:33Yeah, of course.
00:06:35Good luck.
00:06:36Thanks.
00:06:47All right.
00:07:01Cassandra?
00:07:08Cassandra?
00:07:18Hello?
00:07:20Oh, Monsieur Marsh? Oui.
00:07:22I believe I hear him right now.
00:07:24Where is Kevin? He missed his cue.
00:07:37Hello?
00:07:42Uh, I said I'd be right back.
00:07:45Uh, I said I believe I hear him right now.
00:07:53Go. Where have you been?
00:07:55Go, go, go, go.
00:07:59Monsieur Marsh, the phone is for you.
00:08:01Thank you, Claudette.
00:08:03Have Ernest bring the motorcar around.
00:08:05Cue Cassandra.
00:08:07Cassandra?
00:08:12I thought I told you never to call me here.
00:08:14Cue Cassandra.
00:08:23Never call here again.
00:08:25Where is Cassandra?
00:08:36Strangulation?
00:08:38I don't know.
00:08:41It looks like she put up a fight.
00:08:43Sure does.
00:08:45Good chance I'll pull some physical evidence from the body.
00:08:50Look at this. Right here.
00:08:53Legature marks.
00:08:55The killer had a weapon.
00:08:57Rope, maybe?
00:08:58Maybe.
00:09:00All right.
00:09:02Hey, make sure you get nice and tight in the neck here. Thanks.
00:09:06Excuse me.
00:09:08You can't be back here.
00:09:10I'm sorry. I'm just looking for my bag. It has my keys and my phone.
00:09:13Hey, wait.
00:09:15What's your name?
00:09:16Roger. Roger Giles.
00:09:18Roger, I'm going to need you to get back on the stage with the rest of the cast.
00:09:21Well, I just...
00:09:22No.
00:09:35Come on.
00:10:06Huh?
00:10:21I don't believe this.
00:10:23Why does this keep happening to me?
00:10:25That's a good question, Mr. Kwan.
00:10:27I saw someone.
00:10:29What?
00:10:30In the costume room when I went to go look for Cassandra.
00:10:32You think it was the killer?
00:10:34Maybe.
00:10:36Who was it?
00:10:38I don't know. I didn't get a good look at them.
00:10:40Did they get a good look at you?
00:10:43I'd like to say that I'm surprised to see you here, but I'm not.
00:10:48Hello, Detective Acosta.
00:10:50Miss Adams?
00:10:52My, yeah.
00:10:53How are you guys doing?
00:10:55Uh, she's been better.
00:10:57She just found a dead body.
00:11:00You know, how is it that you always seem to be in the wrong place at the wrong time?
00:11:07Well, I think it just depends on how you look at it.
00:11:10Oh. How so?
00:11:12Maybe I'm just in the right place at the right time.
00:11:16Well, if you're up for it, I could use your help.
00:11:21I thought you'd never ask.
00:11:30Okay, so walk me through it.
00:11:35You were in here looking for Cassandra.
00:11:37Uh, I was coming down the corridor and I heard a crash, so I came inside.
00:11:42And I called out for Cassandra, but she didn't answer.
00:11:46And that's when I noticed the broken lamp on the floor.
00:11:49So I bent down to pick it up.
00:11:52And then I heard footsteps running out the door.
00:11:56Which door?
00:11:57That one.
00:11:58Did you see who it was?
00:11:59I didn't. It all happened so fast.
00:12:03Okay. Alright.
00:12:05You know what? Let's try something.
00:12:07Okay.
00:12:08Um, just stand right here.
00:12:11Oh.
00:12:12And close your eyes.
00:12:14What? Are you serious?
00:12:16Yeah.
00:12:20Okay. Now, concentrate on my voice.
00:12:25Think back to that moment.
00:12:28You're standing there. You're holding the lamp in your hand.
00:12:32And you hear a sound.
00:12:36Now you turn towards the sound.
00:12:40And you see someone.
00:12:43Who is it?
00:12:46I can't tell. It's really dark.
00:12:49Okay. Well, is it a man or is it a woman?
00:12:53I don't know. I don't know. I'm sorry.
00:12:59Okay. Well, at least we tried.
00:13:02Do you want to show me what else happened?
00:13:04Uh-huh. Yeah.
00:13:06So, I walked down here.
00:13:09And that is where I found Cassandra.
00:13:12So I ran to get help.
00:13:14You left?
00:13:15Yes.
00:13:16That means that there was a window of time after the murder that the room was empty.
00:13:21A few minutes.
00:13:23Why?
00:13:25What if the killer came back?
00:13:28Cassandra. She was here because she spilled coffee on her costume.
00:13:31But it was a fluke.
00:13:33She wouldn't have been back here otherwise.
00:13:35So someone found themselves alone with her and made a split-second decision to kill her.
00:13:40Right here.
00:13:42Why would the killer come back?
00:13:45You see, when you don't have time to prevent your mistakes, your focus shifts to covering them up.
00:13:51And that is when you make more of them.
00:13:58The victim, 27-year-old Cassandra Griffin.
00:14:01Any witnesses?
00:14:03There's one.
00:14:05Name?
00:14:07Allie Adams.
00:14:08The photographer?
00:14:09Uh-huh.
00:14:10Isn't she a friend of yours?
00:14:12Well, you know, we're friends. We've met a couple times, whatever.
00:14:16Well, it is a small town.
00:14:18Anyways, she didn't see much, but her statement gives us a pretty firm time of death.
00:14:22Which should help us narrow down anybody with opportunity.
00:14:24Manustrangulation?
00:14:25A ligature.
00:14:26Left a pretty distinctive pattern behind. But our coroner should have more for us soon.
00:14:29Okay. Anything else?
00:14:31You know, our victim had no restraining orders, no open cases, but her tires had been slashed the night of the murder.
00:14:37I want updates as they come.
00:14:38Yes, ma'am.
00:14:42Go.
00:14:43Okay.
00:14:47You sure she was crying?
00:14:48She tried to play it off when I interrupted, but she seemed pretty upset.
00:14:51And ten minutes later, she's dead.
00:14:53Hardly coincidental.
00:14:55How's Maya?
00:14:56Pretty shaken up. They worked on that play for months. The cast got pretty close.
00:15:00Well, her mom's friend is a grief counselor. Great listener. Could help.
00:15:06Yeah. I don't think Maya's ready to talk to anyone just yet.
00:15:11A brush with death changes a person.
00:15:14But I knew I had to be strong. I mean, for the sake of the cast and crew.
00:15:18You know, I could sense they were all looking to me for guidance.
00:15:22Right, yeah. Um, well, can you describe what you saw in the costume room?
00:15:26Uh, well, Cassandra's neck had these weird marks, like, like in a pattern.
00:15:30Ali could tell you more. She was the one who found the body.
00:15:33Hi, yeah. Um, actually, Maya does not recollect anything from that evening.
00:15:37Uh, I recollect just fine.
00:15:40Maya, it's an active investigation.
00:15:42Daniel, will you do me a favor and keep this off the front page of the Gazette, please?
00:15:46Yeah, I guess I could hide it in the background. For now.
00:15:49Thanks.
00:15:50Thank you for your time.
00:15:52Maya.
00:15:53You know, I love the new place. It's, it's very you.
00:15:57Thank you. I think.
00:15:59You got plans tomorrow night?
00:16:01Uh, yeah. Actually, it's movie night with Maya.
00:16:04Oh, um, I forgot to tell you. I have to cancel audition for a dog food commercial.
00:16:14Okay. Uh, how about drinks at the Ace of Clubs? Eight o'clock.
00:16:19I promise I won't keep my notebook closed.
00:16:21She'd love to. Wouldn't you, Ali?
00:16:27Yeah. Yeah, sure. Okay.
00:16:29Okay. Great. I will meet you there.
00:16:36You don't have an audition, do you?
00:16:38Uh, I might have one.
00:16:40Oh, Maya.
00:16:41I just think it's a crime that you haven't been on a date. Like, an actual date.
00:16:45Date since you and...
00:16:47I have to work.
00:16:54Over the last few months, I feel like we've become a family.
00:16:58And families get through hardships together.
00:17:01As each of us attempts to navigate the choppy seas of grief,
00:17:06Sarah and I want you to know that if there is anything, anything at all that you need,
00:17:10please don't hesitate to ask.
00:17:13Yes.
00:17:14What happens now?
00:17:15The police will conduct their investigation,
00:17:17and hopefully Cassandra's family and friends will find closure.
00:17:22I met with the play.
00:17:24The play is postponed. Indefinitely.
00:17:28Cass is dead, Laura.
00:17:31Well, we're not. I spent three months of my life on that play.
00:17:35I understand your disappointment, and it may have been three months of your life,
00:17:39but it was nearly two years of mine.
00:17:41It's out of our hands. The theater is an active crime scene.
00:17:44We have food and drinks for everyone in the dining room.
00:17:48Please feel free to stay as long as you like.
00:17:57You okay?
00:18:01Yeah, I'll be all right.
00:18:03Apparently, the police never recovered her cell phone.
00:18:06Really?
00:18:08Where do you think it is?
00:18:09With the killer, most likely.
00:18:13Have you seen Roger?
00:18:15He would have a lot of nerve showing up here.
00:18:17Why is that?
00:18:19Didn't you hear what happened between him and Cassandra?
00:18:21No.
00:18:23I don't know.
00:18:25I don't know either.
00:18:26Maya?
00:18:28What are you doing?
00:18:29You heard him. Show's closed.
00:18:31Girls gotta eat, you know.
00:18:37Wait, where are you going?
00:18:45I'm going to see Cassandra.
00:18:46You're going to see Cassandra?
00:18:47Yeah.
00:18:48You're going to see Cassandra?
00:18:49Yeah.
00:18:50You're going to see Cassandra?
00:18:51Yeah.
00:18:52You're going to see her?
00:18:53Yeah.
00:18:54Let's go.
00:18:55Let's go.
00:19:23Look at all this stuff.
00:19:24Remind me never to use his interior decorator.
00:19:31It's not real.
00:19:34Sorry. We don't mean to snoop. It's just all very interesting.
00:19:37Oh, no. That's quite all right.
00:19:39I'm very fond of this.
00:19:40It's from my first play, Murder by Numbers.
00:19:45See? Just a prop.
00:19:46That's all theatre really is.
00:19:49Nothing but make-believe.
00:19:51Yeah.
00:19:52Must have a lot of sentimental value.
00:19:55Well, for more reasons than one.
00:19:57Sarah and I met on that production.
00:19:58She was my costumer.
00:20:00Aw.
00:20:02Do they have any idea who could have done this?
00:20:04Well, if they do, they haven't told me.
00:20:06Or any of us.
00:20:08With good reason, I suppose.
00:20:10Are you saying the police think it could have been one of us?
00:20:14Well, the cast and crew were the only ones with access to the backstage.
00:20:18And you, Allie. And your assistant.
00:20:21Do you have any idea what the motive could be?
00:20:24I couldn't even guess.
00:20:26But I do know that the only people who had the opportunity are right here in this house.
00:20:31Allie?
00:20:33It must have been frightening, finding her like that.
00:20:37Not as frightening as Allie being five feet from the killer.
00:20:41I didn't know that you had seen someone in the costume room.
00:20:45Um, I didn't really see anything.
00:20:47Oh. Well, I meant what I said.
00:20:51If there is anything that I can do for either of you, I'm here for you.
00:20:57We're all in this together.
00:21:09It's unsettling, isn't it?
00:21:10What?
00:21:11I mean, we could be standing ten feet away from a cold-blooded killer.
00:21:14You don't think he or she would actually show up here, do you?
00:21:18Gotta keep up appearances.
00:21:21Just keep your voice down.
00:21:24How could you not tell me?
00:21:25How was I supposed to know that this would happen?
00:21:28That is a lot of money, Neil. How are we supposed to pay it back?
00:21:31I said I would figure this out.
00:21:34If you had just been honest with me.
00:21:36Sarah, don't do this. Not today.
00:21:39Then when?
00:21:41Hey.
00:21:42Hey. Anything back on the note?
00:21:44Oh, yeah.
00:21:46Clean.
00:21:47Oh, handwriting might give us something.
00:21:50What are these?
00:21:51Props for the play.
00:21:52Wow. I guess our attacker had a lot of choices.
00:21:55Yeah, we'll send them to the lab. It could be useful.
00:21:58I don't think so.
00:22:00I don't think so either.
00:22:01I don't think so either.
00:22:02I don't think so either.
00:22:03I don't think so either.
00:22:04I don't think so either.
00:22:05I don't think so either.
00:22:06I don't think so either.
00:22:07I don't think so either.
00:22:08This is... Yeah, we'll send them to the lab.
00:22:10It's just an eyeball test. None of them match the marks on her neck.
00:22:39This catalogs every costume, every accessory, down to the smallest button.
00:22:44May I?
00:22:45Please.
00:22:46Were they all in this room until showtime?
00:22:48Uh, no. I had a hard time keeping track of them, actually.
00:22:51Where were you when Miss Griffin returned here?
00:22:53Uh, I was upstairs fixing a seam on one of the actor's jackets before he went on stage.
00:22:59Oh. Which actor?
00:23:01Kevin Trudeau.
00:23:02Kevin Trudeau.
00:23:03Sam, take a look at this.
00:23:05That's the constable's belt.
00:23:07Where is it now?
00:23:08Uh, I would imagine with the actor, they were all wearing their costumes when the police sent them home.
00:23:14So we'll find that belt with the constable.
00:23:16You should.
00:23:17You got a name?
00:23:18Roger Giles.
00:23:31Is it normally that loud?
00:23:35What?
00:23:36What?
00:23:37The clock.
00:23:42I hadn't noticed.
00:23:43No?
00:23:45It's loud.
00:23:49Do you recognize this belt?
00:23:50Uh, yeah. It's mine.
00:23:51Oh.
00:23:52No, not mine. It's the constable's.
00:23:54The constable's.
00:23:55My character in the play.
00:23:56Yeah.
00:23:59Where is this belt right now?
00:24:01I don't know.
00:24:02Was it in your possession when you left the theater?
00:24:03No.
00:24:04They told us that all the actors went home in their costumes.
00:24:06Yeah, they did.
00:24:07No, I wasn't in costume. My character doesn't appear until the second act.
00:24:12You saw me. I was just in a t-shirt and jeans.
00:24:16No belt?
00:24:17No belt, no.
00:24:18Was the costume in your dressing room?
00:24:19Oh, no. I have six lines.
00:24:25I didn't get a dressing room?
00:24:27It was with the other costumes.
00:24:29Okay.
00:24:31Where were you when the play began?
00:24:32With the other cast.
00:24:33And can they confirm that?
00:24:34What? Yeah, I think so.
00:24:36Think so?
00:24:37The whole night. It's kind of a blur.
00:24:40Yeah.
00:24:41Okay.
00:25:01Sarah!
00:25:02Hi. I'm so sorry. Did we have an appointment?
00:25:05No. I was just hoping to speak with you.
00:25:09Do you have a minute?
00:25:10Yes, please. Take a seat.
00:25:15This is embarrassing.
00:25:17I know that Neil and I agreed to pay you for your wonderful work you've done on our play, Bill.
00:25:21And we will. I was just hoping that we could get another month.
00:25:24Yes, of course.
00:25:28It's just, Neil took out a second mortgage on our home to fund the play.
00:25:32And now with no future performances, we have no hope of recouping those expenses.
00:25:39I am so sorry. Did Neil not have insurance?
00:25:44He did. It covered some, but there were other debts.
00:25:50You know, with a name like Neil Kahn, I would assume he would have investors lined up around the block.
00:25:55I know. His first two plays were very well received, both critical and commercial hits.
00:26:01But he's never been able to repeat that success. His last show lost a lot of money. It really shook his confidence.
00:26:07We were hoping that this production would turn that luck around.
00:26:11Allie, he's talking about walking away. Starting fresh somewhere new.
00:26:17Neil wants to leave town?
00:26:19He's already spoken to a realtor.
00:26:21Well, doesn't that seem a little fast?
00:26:23Maybe it's for the best.
00:26:26Is that Roger Giles?
00:26:28Oh, yes. Sorry, I was just organizing photos.
00:26:33Actually, I heard from some cast members that there was an incident between Roger and Cassandra.
00:26:39Do you know what that may have been about?
00:26:41No. But about a week before the show, Cassandra asked Neil to cut Roger from the play.
00:26:49But he didn't.
00:26:51It was too close to opening night.
00:26:54In hindsight, that might have spared us all this heartache.
00:27:01Why's that?
00:27:02You didn't hear? The murder weapon was Roger's belt.
00:27:24Can't hold him much longer.
00:27:27Won't need to. Another hour in there and he'll talk.
00:27:31But will he have anything worthwhile to say?
00:27:34He better. Victim was choked with his belt.
00:27:37We got it yet?
00:27:38Working on a search warrant for his apartment.
00:27:41Okay.
00:27:46Hey, Sam.
00:27:47What's this?
00:27:48I was following up on the robbery from last week.
00:27:50You a baker on Main?
00:27:51Yeah.
00:27:52Anything on the security feeds?
00:27:53Uh, two guys. Masks?
00:27:55That's the third one this month.
00:27:56Yeah.
00:27:57Donuts. A little cliche, don't you think?
00:28:00These are curlers. Delicious.
00:28:02Sure.
00:28:05Detective Acosta. Any update on the Griffin murder?
00:28:08No comment.
00:28:09Are you going to be naming a person of interest in the case?
00:28:13Come on, man. You gotta give me something here.
00:28:18Enjoy.
00:28:26Right here.
00:28:28Oh, perfect. I'm going to have these contacts sent over to you tomorrow.
00:28:31Hey, I really gotta show you something.
00:28:33Yeah. Just give me one second. I'll be right back.
00:28:36I was printing out the baker's wedding and I found these in the SD card.
00:28:40Taking the night of the murder.
00:28:42I thought we gave everything to the police.
00:28:44Must have missed one.
00:28:56DRIVE-THRU
00:29:04Hey Sam.
00:29:05Hi.
00:29:06You don't want to see this.
00:29:08Twenty minutes before the murder.
00:29:10That's Kevin Trudeau with the missing belt.
00:29:13You're welcome.
00:29:15DRIVE-THRU
00:29:24I already told you everything I know.
00:29:25I think you might have left out a detail or two.
00:29:28What's in your hand?
00:29:32A belt.
00:29:33A belt?
00:29:34There's only one character with a belt like that.
00:29:36And it wasn't you.
00:29:37It got mixed in with my costume.
00:29:39I was taking it to Sarah.
00:29:41Oh, so you took it to Sarah. She'll confirm that story?
00:29:44She wasn't there. I left it next to some of the other costumes.
00:29:47Well, she wasn't there.
00:29:48A cast member noted that you were late for a cue.
00:29:51Where were you?
00:29:53I was a bit nervous. I wanted to go over my lines.
00:29:56I lost track of time.
00:29:57Were you running the lines with one of the other actors?
00:30:00No. Alone.
00:30:01Alone.
00:30:02So there's no one to corroborate your story?
00:30:08No.
00:30:10DRIVE-THRU
00:30:14So what do you think?
00:30:15Well, 20 minutes is a big window.
00:30:17I could have dropped it off.
00:30:18Or you could have hung on to it.
00:30:20Uh, we had to let Roger Giles walk.
00:30:23Searching his apartment came back clean.
00:30:29Hey.
00:30:36Ah, too bad.
00:30:40Oh.
00:30:54Lucky shot.
00:30:58Who's next?
00:31:05Um, I can try.
00:31:08It's 50.
00:31:10Dollars?
00:31:14Um, okay, so I just use this stick right here?
00:31:19Uh, did I say 50?
00:31:21I meant 75.
00:31:27Rack them.
00:31:37Cool.
00:31:47Ooh, lucky shot.
00:31:50Okay, one more.
00:31:58Hi.
00:31:59Hi.
00:32:01Hey.
00:32:02Oh, tough break.
00:32:05No, you cheated.
00:32:06Hey, hey, hey, where'd you go?
00:32:07Daniel, no.
00:32:08Did you see what he just did?
00:32:09Allie.
00:32:10Yes, Daniel.
00:32:12What'd you see?
00:32:15Well, you know what?
00:32:16I'm afraid I missed it.
00:32:18Let's go.
00:32:19Uh, our food is getting cold.
00:32:20We didn't order food.
00:32:21Yeah.
00:32:24Do you know who that is?
00:32:25Who?
00:32:26Who?
00:32:27Who?
00:32:29Do you know who that is?
00:32:30Yeah, the cheater.
00:32:31That's Tony Mack.
00:32:33Trust me when I say you don't want to be on his radar.
00:32:35Well, I've photographed everyone in this town, and I have no idea who that guy is.
00:32:39Yeah, well, he's not exactly the type that likes his picture taken.
00:32:50Can I, uh, get you something to drink?
00:32:58Allie.
00:33:00Uh, I will have another ginger ale.
00:33:03I'm gonna have a stout.
00:33:04Whatever's on tap.
00:33:09You know, a lot of the cast was at Neil's the other day, but I didn't see you there.
00:33:12Yeah, well, uh, I had somewhere to be.
00:33:20He flinched when he saw you.
00:33:23It was subtle, but...
00:33:24You knew he'd be here.
00:33:25Yeah, that's why I picked this place.
00:33:29So you invited me here for a story?
00:33:32Well, not just a story.
00:33:34I thought it was the perfect excuse to see you again.
00:33:38Okay, you know, Daniel, I...
00:33:41Neil?
00:33:42What is he doing here?
00:33:44There are only two reasons you talked to Tony Mack.
00:33:47To borrow money or to play some bet.
00:33:51Is this off the record?
00:33:53Sure.
00:33:55Neil is broke.
00:33:56He sunk every penny he had into that play.
00:33:58He even had to borrow money to finance it.
00:34:01Well, are you sure he got that money from a bank?
00:34:05Get out of here now.
00:34:27Can I take my break?
00:34:39I'm just down the street.
00:34:41Yeah, I'm that way.
00:34:45Okay, well, thank you for the drinks.
00:34:47Sure, yeah, yeah.
00:34:49Maybe we can do it again sometime.
00:34:51Surveillance optional.
00:34:56Okay.
00:35:16Get over here!
00:35:27Get over here!
00:35:39Hey, here you go.
00:35:42Okay, well, we have officers searching the area.
00:35:45And we're going to check all the security camera footage from nearby businesses.
00:35:49Hopefully get something from there.
00:35:51Thanks.
00:35:52Yeah.
00:35:53Hey, did he hurt you?
00:35:55Not as much as I hurt him.
00:35:57I scratched his arm pretty badly.
00:36:00I can't understand, though, why he didn't try to steal my purse or anything.
00:36:08What?
00:36:10What if he wasn't after your purse?
00:36:12What if he was after you?
00:36:14What?
00:36:15You witnessed a murder two days ago.
00:36:17What if there's somebody out there who thinks that you can identify him?
00:36:20It was so dark in the costume room.
00:36:22How would anyone know it was me?
00:36:26My pass.
00:36:28My backstage pass.
00:36:29I lost it that night and it has a picture of me on it and my name.
00:36:35What if I dropped it in the costume room?
00:36:37Look, I'm going to have someone outside your house.
00:36:40You'll be safe.
00:36:41No, uh, no, you don't have to do that.
00:36:43Allie, come on.
00:36:45Look, Sam, I appreciate everything you're trying to do, but I don't need a police detail and I certainly don't need a bodyguard.
00:36:52What I need is a very long and very hot shower.
00:36:57And to unpack. I'm still unpacking from the move.
00:37:01Yeah, you're, uh, you're a new place. It's, uh, I like it.
00:37:07It's you.
00:37:10Yeah.
00:37:13If anything happens, I will call you.
00:37:16Promise?
00:37:18Yes, I promise.
00:37:20Okay.
00:37:23Uh, see you later.
00:37:26Bye.
00:37:31Lock your door.
00:37:52Bye.
00:38:22Bye.
00:38:49You okay? I'm coming right now.
00:38:50Sam, I'm out of syrup.
00:38:52And I figured since you were right outside, you could ask my neighbor, Mrs. Hendler, if I could borrow some.
00:38:57Greenhouse on the left.
00:38:59Oh, and thank you. Good morning.
00:39:09Come in.
00:39:14Hi.
00:39:15Hi.
00:39:16She said that this doesn't make you guys even. She still owes you for some portraits or something.
00:39:21Sit down. I shot her Christmas card last year. I let her pay me back in gingerbread.
00:39:27Huh. What's, what's all this?
00:39:31Breakfast. I figured you hadn't eaten since you sat in your car all night instead of going home like I asked.
00:39:40Syrup.
00:39:41Oh, no thank you. I don't do syrup.
00:39:47So, are you planning on going anywhere today?
00:39:50Why? You gonna call ahead and see if there's any nearby parking available?
00:39:55I just think maybe you should lay low for a while.
00:39:58I have work.
00:39:59Allie, someone tried to hurt you last night.
00:40:03Look, if anything happens, I have no one to protect me.
00:40:10Yeah, that's very comforting.
00:40:12What do you want me to do? Just stop my life because of one crazy person?
00:40:16Yeah.
00:40:17No, I'm not gonna do that.
00:40:19Okay, just be careful. Please.
00:40:21Yes. Okay, detective.
00:40:23Hey.
00:40:25Good morning.
00:40:27Good morning.
00:40:29So, that was Sam.
00:40:32Did you bring the supplies? As a matter of fact, I did.
00:40:37Supplies for what, exactly?
00:40:41Okay, here is what we know.
00:40:43Cassandra was murdered five minutes before she was supposed to take stage,
00:40:46and everyone on this board had access to the costume room.
00:40:49But do they have motives for murder?
00:40:52To be determined.
00:40:53So, where do we start?
00:40:56Sally Weinstock.
00:40:57Who's that? Did she play the governess?
00:40:58Uh, nope. She's got a 9-15 appointment for a passport photo.
00:41:02Yes, I work here.
00:41:03Okay, do me a favor. Go through the board and pin anyone you think may have wanted to hurt Cassandra.
00:41:07Also, they recorded the auditions and rehearsals.
00:41:09Can you call the stage manager and get that footage?
00:41:11Can you go on?
00:41:12Yes.
00:41:13You got it.
00:41:19Okay, here's everything from the last three months.
00:41:22Auditions, rehearsals, all of my casting notes, everything.
00:41:27Wow.
00:41:29Very thorough.
00:41:30Well, I know that the smallest piece of evidence can turn an investigation on its head.
00:41:34How'd I get away with murder?
00:41:35That's, uh, research for my play.
00:41:41Forensic entomology, a guide to collecting evidence, 101 crime scenes.
00:41:45That's a personal favorite.
00:41:47Quit the collection.
00:41:48Well, if you think that's bad, you should see my internet search history.
00:41:55Is there anything else I can do?
00:41:58Actually, uh, yeah.
00:42:00Why don't you tell us about Cassandra?
00:42:02Was she well-liked?
00:42:04Uh, yes, very.
00:42:07Any dust-ups with the old casting crew?
00:42:10Well, there was one incident, but I'm not sure it even merits mentioning.
00:42:16Maybe you let us be the judge of that.
00:42:17Yeah.
00:42:19Shortly after rehearsal started, Cassandra approached me about one of her castmates, Roger Giles.
00:42:24She said he was making a play.
00:42:26She approached me about one of her castmates, Roger Giles.
00:42:28She said he was making her uncomfortable.
00:42:32Uncomfortable?
00:42:33Uncomfortable how?
00:42:35Uh, he would run into her outside of rehearsals.
00:42:39In her mind, far too frequently to be coincidental.
00:42:42So what, he was following her?
00:42:43She afraid of him?
00:42:45More concerned.
00:42:46Okay.
00:42:47Okay.
00:42:48Did you ever do anything about it?
00:42:50Well, sure, I spoke to him, but he swore it was innocent.
00:42:53It didn't feel right to judge him unfairly on so little.
00:42:59Maybe I should have trusted Cassandra's instincts.
00:43:03Maybe you should have.
00:43:07Roger Giles has a history with Cassandra, some kind of bad blood, and his belt was the murder weapon.
00:43:14Kevin Trudeau, he was last seen with that very belt before the show.
00:43:19Then Neil Conn.
00:43:21The director?
00:43:22Yeah, I saw him arguing with his wife.
00:43:24She seemed to think he was hiding something from her.
00:43:26He looks so mild-mannered.
00:43:28Looks can be deceiving.
00:43:30He wears a bow tie.
00:43:32He had a lot riding on that play.
00:43:34I mean, would he really ruin his opening night?
00:43:37Maybe not.
00:43:39Well, these were taken a week before the murder.
00:43:41Not sure what you're looking for.
00:43:53Great, thanks May.
00:43:55Okay, Mike Tremont ordered a dozen roses to Cassandra's dressing room the day I shot those photos.
00:44:01Uh, who's Mike Tremont?
00:44:03Her boyfriend?
00:44:05If his flowers were in the trash, I'd put an X in front of that.
00:44:08Found him.
00:44:10Is there a home address?
00:44:12No, but his social media profile does say that he works as a security guard.
00:44:16Oh!
00:44:17Look where.
00:44:20Yeah, no, I just checked.
00:44:22He's worked here six months, mostly day shifts.
00:44:24So he's there now?
00:44:26Is there any way you can get me in there to talk to him?
00:44:28Well, no can do.
00:44:30Why not?
00:44:32The police just escorted him out of the building.
00:44:48I wasn't at the theater that night, I was working.
00:44:50Can anyone confirm that?
00:44:52The security company, they'll have my schedule.
00:44:54You normally work nights?
00:44:56The times are tight.
00:44:58I've been picking up extra shifts.
00:45:00What was your relationship with Cassandra Griffin?
00:45:02We don't have a relationship.
00:45:04But you did, at some point.
00:45:06We dated for a little while, it wasn't serious.
00:45:08But you bought her flowers.
00:45:10It wasn't serious for her.
00:45:12You seem angry about that.
00:45:14When was the last time you spoke with Miss Griffin?
00:45:15About a week ago.
00:45:17She stopped returning my phone calls.
00:45:19I thought maybe the flowers would help.
00:45:21They didn't.
00:45:23Did you get in a fight?
00:45:25No.
00:45:27She just said her heart wasn't in it anymore.
00:45:29Wow.
00:45:31Must've hurt.
00:45:33Yeah, that must've hurt.
00:45:35I'm over it.
00:45:37I just wasn't meant to be.
00:45:39Oh, hey.
00:45:41I want you guys to watch something.
00:45:43That is my laptop.
00:45:45Yeah, mine's at my apartment.
00:45:47Yeah, but it's password protected.
00:45:49I guessed it.
00:45:51It's the same as your phone.
00:45:53Well, you know my phone password?
00:45:55What? We're all friends here.
00:45:57Okay, what did you want to show us?
00:45:59I think I found our next lead.
00:46:01Laura?
00:46:03She was desperate to win the lead role.
00:46:05So were you.
00:46:06I really think I could've brought something to it.
00:46:08But you said you were attacked by a guy.
00:46:10Uh, she could've hired someone.
00:46:13With her tips from the bakery?
00:46:15She constantly complained about working at the bakery
00:46:18and how the play could be her ticket out.
00:46:20Honestly, it just seemed like a stretch.
00:46:22Okay.
00:46:24But watch this.
00:46:26Tell me why you are perfect for this role.
00:46:29When I read the play,
00:46:31it truly spoke to me.
00:46:33I've never related to a character more.
00:46:36I would kill for this role.
00:46:49It's a figure of speech.
00:46:51Okay, well where were you when Cassandra died?
00:46:53Oh, where were you?
00:46:55Oh, that's right, with the body.
00:46:57Touché.
00:46:59Look, I'm sorry she's dead.
00:47:01I am, but I had nothing to do with it.
00:47:03Looks like we're not the only ones onto you.
00:47:05The bakery was broken into last week
00:47:07and they're still investigating.
00:47:09You need to leave.
00:47:11You're gonna get me fired.
00:47:13Okay, just one last question.
00:47:15Did you ever meet someone named Mike Tremont?
00:47:17Who? Cassandra's boyfriend?
00:47:19We think?
00:47:21No, and I'm not surprised she didn't bring him round rehearsals.
00:47:23Why?
00:47:25You didn't hear the rumors?
00:47:27She was sneaking around with somebody from the play.
00:47:30Bye.
00:47:35Car 37 in progress. 68 Maplewood.
00:47:38Repeat, all cars, car 37 in progress. 68 Maplewood.
00:47:41Copy that. Car 54 on my way.
00:47:53Where are you?
00:47:56Hey!
00:47:58Looks like your ride couldn't make it.
00:48:00I'm happy to give you a lift.
00:48:04Seriously?
00:48:30Come on. Pick up, pick up, pick up.
00:48:32Where are you? Let's go.
00:48:35Come on.
00:48:42Hey, bud.
00:48:44I could do this all day.
00:48:46Ow!
00:48:48I don't really want to.
00:48:55A gym with like 14 hot dogs.
00:48:57I've never seen anything like it.
00:48:59It's crazy.
00:49:01I'll catch you later.
00:49:02Baker?
00:49:04First his business, then his home.
00:49:06Sounds personal.
00:49:08We get a name yet?
00:49:10Still not talking.
00:49:12He's covering for someone.
00:49:14The driver?
00:49:16Oh, whoever sprung for that six-figure defense lawyer.
00:49:21Thank you. I hope you guys love them.
00:49:23Bye.
00:49:27Oh, hi Megan.
00:49:29Hi.
00:49:30You guys are investigating Cassandra's murder, right?
00:49:32Oh, I wouldn't say investigating.
00:49:34Yes.
00:49:36Well, I was boxing up Cass's things to send to her parents like they asked me.
00:49:39And I found something.
00:49:41What kind of something?
00:49:43Her day planner.
00:49:45Cassandra was the type of person who would bullet point what she had for lunch.
00:49:48Super organized.
00:49:50Do you have it?
00:49:52I gave it to the police.
00:49:54Oh.
00:49:56After I made a copy.
00:50:01Hot yoga.
00:50:03Oh, I've been meaning to try that.
00:50:05Did she say what studio?
00:50:07You know, I keep seeing the letters KT on here once a week.
00:50:10Does anybody know what that stands for?
00:50:12Keratin treatment?
00:50:14Kevin Trudeau.
00:50:16Cassandra was involved with a cast member.
00:50:18Maybe it was him.
00:50:20And it says she was supposed to meet him today.
00:50:22There's an address.
00:50:24Would he still show up?
00:50:26There's only one way to find out.
00:50:30George Wilbur.
00:50:32B&E, petty theft, drunk and disorderly.
00:50:34Busy guy.
00:50:36Yeah.
00:50:37Address?
00:50:38Unknown.
00:50:39How about an employer?
00:50:41Well, he was a dishwasher with Ace of Clubs for six months.
00:50:43I guess he found a more lucrative career.
00:50:45Yeah.
00:50:46Any leads on his accomplice?
00:50:48Nothing.
00:50:49Wow.
00:50:50Hey, did you say Ace of Clubs?
00:50:52Yeah, you been there?
00:50:54Tuesdays are two for one.
00:50:56Pretty good pretzels, too.
00:50:58I could go for some pretzels.
00:51:00George Wilbur?
00:51:02Doesn't ring a bell.
00:51:04Well, he used to work in the kitchen.
00:51:06Well, I've only been here a year.
00:51:08He quit six months ago.
00:51:10Oh.
00:51:14I remember now.
00:51:17George.
00:51:19Quiet guy.
00:51:21You two interact much?
00:51:23No.
00:51:24Ever socialize outside of work?
00:51:26I don't think so.
00:51:28When was the last time you saw George?
00:51:31Couldn't tell you.
00:51:35Couldn't tell us.
00:51:39Pretzel?
00:51:40Yeah.
00:51:41I had the good.
00:51:44Wow.
00:51:46You sure this is it?
00:51:48We're at the right address.
00:51:50What is this place?
00:51:52Only one way to find out.
00:52:01So we're just going to walk in there?
00:52:03Yeah.
00:52:04Why not?
00:52:06Because we're trespassing and it might be dangerous.
00:52:09Well.
00:52:11Might not be.
00:52:13I think it's about time I negotiate a raise.
00:52:31Hey, kids.
00:52:33I'm Prince Fun-A-Lot.
00:52:35Now who's ready for a very happy birthday?
00:52:37So you and Cassandra are...
00:52:39We're...
00:52:41Birthday party entertainers.
00:52:43Yes.
00:52:44I was hoping you wouldn't mind.
00:52:46No.
00:52:48No.
00:52:50No.
00:52:52No.
00:52:54No.
00:52:56No.
00:52:58No.
00:53:00We're going to keep this private.
00:53:02It's a way to make ends meet.
00:53:04But Cassandra found out about it.
00:53:06She did.
00:53:08I thought she was going to tell everyone in the cast,
00:53:10but she asked for me to get her work, too.
00:53:12Did she say why she needed extra money?
00:53:14We're actors.
00:53:16Everyone has a side gig.
00:53:18Were you and Cassandra ever romantically involved?
00:53:20No.
00:53:22I mean, I tried, but...
00:53:24I got the impression she was seeing someone.
00:53:31Uncle Luis has you dead to rights.
00:53:33You guys are back to a correspondence game?
00:53:35I thought he had enough of the island life.
00:53:37Ugh.
00:53:39You know, he's visiting my mom for a few weeks.
00:53:43Well, if I were you, I'd offer a draw.
00:53:45Did you come here for a chess lesson?
00:53:48Oh, I think we both know why I'm here.
00:53:51Yeah, I have my suspicions.
00:53:53Does the name Tony Mack mean anything to you?
00:53:56No.
00:53:57Does the name Tony Mack mean anything to you?
00:54:02That's a yes.
00:54:04I didn't say anything.
00:54:06You didn't have to.
00:54:08I saw Neil at the Ace of Clubs the other night,
00:54:11and it looked like he was in a fight with Tony.
00:54:13Tell me, Allie,
00:54:15what were you doing in a pool hall?
00:54:17I was working on my nine ball.
00:54:19Really?
00:54:21Okay, Detective, answer me this.
00:54:23What kind of business does a mild-mannered playwright
00:54:25have with a loan shark?
00:54:27I can think of one.
00:54:29Funny business.
00:54:31What do you think of this color?
00:54:33I want to change things up around here.
00:54:35And it's called Citrus Punch.
00:54:37Sam.
00:54:39I will look into it.
00:54:41Okay?
00:54:45It's a little bright.
00:54:47Yeah.
00:54:49The lady at the hardware store said it would
00:54:51really make a statement.
00:54:53Yeah, yeah, it does do that.
00:54:54When I look at you, I don't see day glow.
00:54:57Okay.
00:54:59What do you see when you look at me?
00:55:12B-15.
00:55:14True blue.
00:55:21I don't hate it.
00:55:25Look.
00:55:27I said I'm not interested in pursuing it.
00:55:29I don't understand.
00:55:31You returned the goods.
00:55:33That's all I cared about.
00:55:35Yes, but it's very likely that these are
00:55:37the same two men that robbed your bakery.
00:55:39Detective, I appreciate the help.
00:55:41But I'd rather just leave this whole
00:55:43unpleasantness behind me.
00:55:49So he's not pressing charges?
00:55:51Nope.
00:55:52Huh.
00:55:54Get this, $500 stolen from the bakery,
00:55:562,000 in damages, and another 2,000 worth
00:55:58of jewelry stolen from the home.
00:56:00But that was recovered.
00:56:02Yes, but they broke a TV and they destroyed artwork.
00:56:04So they're careless.
00:56:06Or they're sending a message.
00:56:23I need you to tell the police I didn't do it.
00:56:25I didn't tell the police anything.
00:56:27Then you told them something.
00:56:29They've talked to me twice already.
00:56:31They have a car parked outside the pub.
00:56:33They don't think I noticed, but I do.
00:56:37Hey, I'm gonna lose my job.
00:56:39You're hurting me.
00:56:43This isn't over.
00:56:47Hi.
00:56:49Okay, let me get this straight.
00:56:50Roger Giles threatened you?
00:56:52Well, I don't know if it was a threat.
00:56:54He was just really angry.
00:56:56Maybe I'm just making a bigger deal out of it.
00:56:58No, no, no.
00:57:00I'm glad that you're telling me.
00:57:02You know, you should probably consider staying with someone.
00:57:04Just until things cool down.
00:57:06Oh, yeah, I already talked to Maya.
00:57:08Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
00:57:10That's good, Maya.
00:57:12That's good.
00:57:14Oh, man, I am, I am.
00:57:16I'm so sorry about this mess.
00:57:18Hey, you took my suggestion.
00:57:20Yeah.
00:57:22True blue.
00:57:24Good.
00:57:26Suits you.
00:57:28I've got a repaid delivery room this weekend.
00:57:30Oh, so you won't be doing another stakeout at my front door, Detective Acosta.
00:57:35Well, Miss Adams, I was told that someone was more than capable of taking care of herself.
00:57:42Wow.
00:57:44So you do listen.
00:57:46Oh, yeah.
00:57:48That's good, because I'm not a pancake mix.
00:57:50Yeah.
00:58:00Detective Acosta.
00:58:02Tony Mack.
00:58:04Welcome to our little establishment.
00:58:06What can I get for you?
00:58:08You look like a whiskey mad neat.
00:58:10Don't. Thank you. I'm fine.
00:58:12I'm actually looking for one of your employees.
00:58:14Roger Giles.
00:58:16I'm afraid Mr. Giles no longer works here.
00:58:18When did he quit?
00:58:20Two years ago.
00:58:22Sad to see it happen. Very loyal.
00:58:24But, uh, I couldn't ignore the noise around him.
00:58:28You understand.
00:58:31Huh.
00:58:33I appreciate your time.
00:58:35Anytime.
00:58:42You a billiard man, Detective?
00:58:44Yeah. I play a little.
00:58:47This a sign-up sheet?
00:58:48Yes. Tables go fast around here.
00:59:19Hey.
00:59:21Oh, hi.
00:59:23So since you held me out of the bar, I thought I would return the favor.
00:59:26Okay. I'm listening.
00:59:28So I just spoke to the critic at the Times.
00:59:30Turns out he's received a dozen emails begging him to attend the show.
00:59:33So I got him to forward them to me.
00:59:36Laura Dufresne.
00:59:38Now why would an understudy insist a critic come see her performance?
00:59:43Unless she knew she would go on that night.
00:59:46What can I get for you today?
00:59:50The truth.
00:59:52Oh, and a cinnamon bun. Please.
01:00:01I didn't invite that newspaper critic there to see me.
01:00:04I wanted him to see her.
01:00:06Cassandra? Why?
01:00:08Because she was terrible.
01:00:10I thought if she got a poor review,
01:00:12Neil would have to recast the role.
01:00:13If she was so terrible, then how'd she get the lead?
01:00:17Isn't it obvious?
01:00:21Neil was in love with her.
01:00:23Cassandra was sneaking around with Neil?
01:00:25He's married.
01:00:27Hence the sneaking.
01:00:29An affair.
01:00:31That's a pretty serious charge.
01:00:33You just accused me of murder.
01:00:35That was more of a trial balloon.
01:00:38Look, everyone knows I should have been cast in the lead.
01:00:40There's no other explanation.
01:00:42Enjoy your bun.
01:01:11You know, I'm so sorry to stop by like this,
01:01:14but they're my favorite pair.
01:01:16Oh, I haven't seen any earrings.
01:01:18Are you sure you lost them here?
01:01:20Uh, this is the last place I remember wearing them.
01:01:23Well, feel free to have a look around.
01:01:27Oh.
01:01:29Neil proposed to you on stage?
01:01:31Yes.
01:01:33Neil has always had a flair for the dramatic.
01:01:36Well, I guess it worked.
01:01:37Well, it hasn't always been easy.
01:01:40My friends thought he could be a bit, um, mercurial.
01:01:44I think that's the word.
01:01:46And then there was the dry spell.
01:01:48He couldn't get anyone to return his calls for years.
01:01:51But you stood by him.
01:01:54Yes, of course.
01:01:56I worked two jobs to keep us afloat while he wrote.
01:02:00It was hard, but it was worth it.
01:02:03You know, I'm not finding anything in here.
01:02:06Do you mind if I check the restroom?
01:02:08Not at all, please.
01:02:10Thanks.
01:02:11I'm not finding anything in here.
01:02:13Do you mind if I check the restroom?
01:02:15Not at all, please.
01:02:17Thanks.
01:02:42Need a hand?
01:02:44Hi.
01:02:46Hi.
01:02:48What are you doing here?
01:02:50I had a few follow-up questions for Ms. Kahn.
01:02:52But she seems very distracted.
01:02:54Says she's helping a friend locate a lost item.
01:02:57An earring, is it?
01:02:59You know me.
01:03:01If my head wasn't attached.
01:03:03Right.
01:03:05Let's go.
01:03:07Okay.
01:03:09Right.
01:03:11The thing is, I do know you.
01:03:14What's your angle?
01:03:16No angle.
01:03:18I'm just looking for an item that I misplaced.
01:03:20In his desk?
01:03:22Mm-hmm.
01:03:28Fine.
01:03:30You caught me.
01:03:32I heard a rumor among the cast that Neil and Cassandra were involved.
01:03:35So, I figured I would come check it out.
01:03:38You know, see if there was a photograph or a love letter or something he kept tucked away.
01:03:43But you're here now, so I will defer to you.
01:03:46Detective.
01:03:48Well, thank you.
01:03:50Allie.
01:03:52What?
01:03:54Aren't you forgetting something?
01:03:56I'm guessing, front pocket.
01:03:58No.
01:04:01It's actually the back pocket.
01:04:03Hmm.
01:04:09I found it.
01:04:11Oh, I am so glad.
01:04:13So am I.
01:04:18Cassandra and Neil?
01:04:21No way. No.
01:04:23I heard the rumors and so did Cassandra.
01:04:25We laughed at them.
01:04:27You sure she didn't keep anything from you?
01:04:29I mean, he was married.
01:04:31No, let me show you the texts.
01:04:34You and Cassandra were pretty close.
01:04:36Yeah, she was my best friend.
01:04:38We shared everything.
01:04:40Clothes, shoes, passwords.
01:04:46Try Pepper.
01:04:48Her family dog.
01:04:50Nope.
01:04:52Maybe her birthday?
01:04:5411-13-90.
01:04:57Nope.
01:04:59Oh, she lent me the login to her online streaming account once and the password was password.
01:05:05Oh, bingo.
01:05:08West and Broad Street.
01:05:11Isn't that the museum?
01:05:13No, that's the Gazette.
01:05:21Sam, we got Roger Giles.
01:05:23Alright.
01:05:28I just wanted to scare her.
01:05:30Scare her?
01:05:32Why?
01:05:34She told everyone I was a creep.
01:05:36She tried to have me kicked out of the play.
01:05:39After that, no one would even talk to me.
01:05:41So after the murder, you went back for the note?
01:05:44Yeah.
01:05:46And that's when I found you in the hallway?
01:05:48I knew it would look bad.
01:05:50I just didn't want anyone to find it and think that I had something to do with her death.
01:05:55Okay.
01:05:58The south side of the lot?
01:06:00Yeah, can't know we're down more than that.
01:06:03I'm not seeing anything.
01:06:06Oh, oh wait, I found it.
01:06:08I found it.
01:06:12Um, hold it.
01:06:16Oh, there it is.
01:06:18Oh, I see it.
01:06:20I see it.
01:06:22I see it.
01:06:25Oh!
01:06:31Got it.
01:06:39Detective Acosta?
01:06:41You calling the trespassing?
01:06:43Yeah, caught this one skulking around the parking lot.
01:06:47Good evening, Detective.
01:06:49Evening, Miss Adams.
01:06:55What are you doing here, Miss Adams?
01:06:58Really, it's just one big misunderstanding.
01:07:00Oh.
01:07:02Can't wait to hear it.
01:07:04Great, well, um, you see the thing is, um...
01:07:07She was meeting me.
01:07:09She never said anything about that.
01:07:11Uh, yeah, that's because we're working on a story.
01:07:14Deep cover.
01:07:16Uh, you know, so I asked her not to say anything.
01:07:19You know we've been dealing with theft in the building.
01:07:21Does she really like me?
01:07:23Does she really look like someone who would steal paper and ink cartridges?
01:07:28Honestly, Detective, she has permission to be here.
01:07:33I guess that settles it.
01:07:35Okay, well, uh, Allie, let's, let's go.
01:07:38Where?
01:07:40Oh, yes, the story.
01:07:42Goodbye.
01:07:47Thank you for that.
01:07:49No problem.
01:07:50I bet you're wondering why I'm in the parking lot of the Gazette.
01:07:53Oh, I can't wait to hear this.
01:08:07Oh.
01:08:10Hello.
01:08:12That was a quick interview.
01:08:14I talk fast.
01:08:16Question, completely unrelated.
01:08:18Of course.
01:08:20A warrant for someone's vehicle?
01:08:22Probable cause.
01:08:24Oh, like this?
01:08:26A picture of a phone.
01:08:28No, not just any phone.
01:08:30Cassandra's phone.
01:08:37I didn't take her phone.
01:08:39I swear, she must have left it behind.
01:08:41Okay, but you told us you hadn't spoken to Cassandra for about a week.
01:08:45How did her phone end up in your car?
01:08:50You know what? Let's just try this again.
01:08:53When was the last time that you saw Cassandra Griffin?
01:08:58The night before she died.
01:09:00Under what circumstances?
01:09:02I, I stopped by the theater after her rehearsal.
01:09:05I just wanted to talk.
01:09:07I, I convinced her to take a ride.
01:09:10And then what happened?
01:09:12I asked her for another chance. She said she wasn't interested.
01:09:15And then I dropped her back off, I swear.
01:09:18You lied.
01:09:20And how would it look?
01:09:22Like I did something to Cassandra, but I would never hurt her, I swear.
01:09:25Okay, okay. All right.
01:09:28Well, then I guess you have nothing to worry about.
01:09:31And our, our officers who are currently searching your apartment,
01:09:34they'll be able to back up all these claims.
01:09:38My apartment?
01:09:45He give you anything on the Griffin girl?
01:09:47No, I suppose he wasn't involved. Why, you got something?
01:09:50He could say that.
01:09:52Interesting, but not incriminating.
01:09:56How about this?
01:09:59Trick or treat.
01:10:01Now that's more convincing.
01:10:09Mr. Winter, is it a good time?
01:10:12I think you and I should have a chat.
01:10:14What happened?
01:10:20Carl Winter's bakery got us in financial trouble.
01:10:23So they reached out to a loan shark for help.
01:10:25Tony Mack.
01:10:27Mike was moonlighting for Mack.
01:10:29But Winter came up short in his monthly payment.
01:10:31He sent Mike to collect.
01:10:33Could Cassandra have found out?
01:10:35If she did, he might have gotten to great lengths to make sure she never told.
01:10:40Hmm.
01:10:44Mike, the ex with Cassandra's missing phone.
01:10:47He's at the top of my list.
01:10:49See, mine is still Roger.
01:10:51Cassandra was killed with his belt.
01:10:53And he thinks he can ID him.
01:10:55Well, let's not forget Laura.
01:10:57She had reason to want Cassandra out of the way.
01:10:59Uh, guys?
01:11:01The main character in the play got strangled.
01:11:04By the man she was having an affair with.
01:11:06Maya, why didn't you say anything?
01:11:08Well, I didn't know.
01:11:10How could you not know?
01:11:11Uh, I only read the scenes I'm in.
01:11:27Alright guys, thanks for coming in.
01:11:29Really appreciate it.
01:11:34Who's that?
01:11:36I heard about the murder on the news.
01:11:38I think they saw the person that Slash retires that night.
01:11:40Came in to give a description.
01:11:43What do you think?
01:11:46I didn't slash Cassandra's tires.
01:11:48Well, as her understudy, if she doesn't turn up, then you're the star of the show, right?
01:11:52You know, we had a witness describe someone that sounded like you.
01:11:56Blonde hair, about 5'6".
01:11:58Could have been anyone.
01:12:00Come on.
01:12:02I'm sorry I missed you, Fran, but not one of your better performances.
01:12:05Well, everyone's a critic.
01:12:08Everyone's a critic.
01:12:19Hey, we're working on a lineup for Tremont.
01:12:23I don't know if he's our guy.
01:12:25I mean, how would Mike Tremont get in and out of the theater without being seen?
01:12:28There's an exit in the classroom to the street.
01:12:31Stage manager?
01:12:33Kenny Kwan.
01:12:34Kwan said that the wind kept blowing it open, so they chained it shut.
01:12:38Only one way in, one way out.
01:12:40That's a fire code violation.
01:12:42Let's solve the murder first and worry about renting them a ticket later.
01:12:47You know, I feel like we're missing something.
01:12:50Yeah.
01:12:55Ooh, where are you off to?
01:12:57I'm going to Sarah's house. I promised I'd drop off my costume.
01:13:00Want to tag along?
01:13:01I can't. I'm meeting Sam at the theater to do a walkthrough of the crime scene.
01:13:05Again?
01:13:07Yeah. He thinks it'll help.
01:13:10Huh. Okay. See ya.
01:13:32Oh, Neil.
01:13:34Allie.
01:13:36What are you doing here?
01:13:38The police finally gave the okay for me to collect all of the set pieces yesterday.
01:13:41I have to admit, I've been putting it off. It was two years of my life.
01:13:48Well, do you want me to give you a hand?
01:13:51Oh, please. That would be wonderful.
01:13:55Of course.
01:13:57You know, I'm sorry you didn't get to stage your play.
01:14:01I watched some of the rehearsals, and it's very good.
01:14:05Well, that's very kind of you to say.
01:14:08May I ask where you draw your inspiration from?
01:14:11Well, it's a long story.
01:14:14It's a long story.
01:14:16It's a long story.
01:14:18It's a long story.
01:14:20It's a long story.
01:14:22It's a long story.
01:14:23May I ask where you draw your inspiration from?
01:14:26Where all writers get it. From life.
01:14:31You witnessed a murder in a parlor?
01:14:34It's a metaphor.
01:14:39You know, Laura was really upset when she didn't get that lead role.
01:14:44I was wondering what made you choose Cassandra.
01:14:47Ah, I see.
01:14:50You've heard the rumors.
01:14:51No, no.
01:14:53What rumors?
01:14:55I know that casting Cassandra was an unconventional choice.
01:14:59And certainly there were stronger actresses.
01:15:02But she had an innocence.
01:15:06It fit the role.
01:15:08I love my wife very much, Allie.
01:15:11I promise you.
01:15:13Okay.
01:15:15Where do you want these props?
01:15:17We'll just set the box over here for the time.
01:15:22I was moving a set piece and it got away from me.
01:15:32I can be clumsy like that.
01:15:34You know, I forgot that I have a lunch with Maya that I have to get to.
01:15:39Oh?
01:15:41Yeah, and I'm running late.
01:15:43You're not going to meet Maya, are you?
01:15:46Because Maya is at my house with my wife.
01:15:49Why didn't you kill Cassandra?
01:15:52I know you did it because I'm the one who gave you those scratches.
01:15:56How could you betray your wife like that over everything she sacrificed for you?
01:15:59I love my wife.
01:16:01She is my whole world and I would do anything to protect her.
01:16:05Do you understand? Anything.
01:16:08Like cover up a murder?
01:16:19Hey, it's Maya.
01:16:21If you're calling to give me money or art, please leave a message.
01:16:49Here we are.
01:16:51Thanks.
01:16:55So, do you think you're going to try to stage the play again?
01:16:59Oh, I don't know. That's Neil's choice.
01:17:02It's up to him, whatever he decides.
01:17:05And I will be right at his side.
01:17:08I'm sorry, I forgot the sugar.
01:17:19I'm sorry.
01:17:32I wasn't sure if you use sugar or sweetener.
01:17:35You're leaving?
01:17:37Yes. Yeah, I...
01:17:39Is something wrong?
01:17:41I'm sorry. I've forgotten. I'm late for an appointment.
01:17:49It isn't true.
01:17:51Of course not.
01:17:56I have to find Neil.
01:18:12Allie!
01:18:19Are you in here?
01:18:22I just want to talk with you.
01:18:28It's not what you think.
01:18:32You don't understand.
01:18:34Unless you really, truly have loved someone, you don't know what it's like.
01:18:41You see them in trouble and they're afraid.
01:18:45And all you want to do is help.
01:19:16Help!
01:19:30Allie!
01:19:43Allie!
01:19:45Allie!
01:20:03Okay, Allie.
01:20:05I've had enough of the cat and mouse.
01:20:09Show's over, Mr. Kahn.
01:20:11Come on, go.
01:20:13Allie! Allie, come on out!
01:20:15Allie!
01:20:16Sam?
01:20:18Ms. Kahn.
01:20:19Sarah, what are you doing? I told you I had all of this under control.
01:20:23You told me all kinds of things, Neil.
01:20:25And as usual, I had to take care of it myself.
01:20:28Just like you took care of Cassandra.
01:20:30Wait, she did it?
01:20:32There were rumors about Cassandra and Neil having an affair.
01:20:34They were more than just rumors.
01:20:36Sarah.
01:20:38Allie!
01:20:40The night of the show, you confronted her.
01:20:43And she denied it.
01:20:45She denied everything.
01:20:47But I know she was lying.
01:20:49So when you found yourself alone in the costume room with her, you grabbed a belt and you strangled her.
01:20:55Stay back.
01:20:56Allie, stay back!
01:20:58When you realized that I had been there, you came clean to Neil, hoping he could help you with the only possible witness.
01:21:04Me.
01:21:11I saw the way you looked at her.
01:21:13How could I compete with that?
01:21:15I wasn't going to lose you.
01:21:17I was never going to lose you to her.
01:21:19Get him out of here.
01:21:24Are you crazy?
01:21:25What?
01:21:26Give me the gun.
01:21:27What? Sam.
01:21:28Sam, it's a prop gun from Neil's house.
01:21:40Oh.
01:21:52Anyway, it took about 20 minutes and she confessed everything.
01:21:56Oh.
01:21:57There you are.
01:21:59These dogs found this behind their house.
01:22:01They were buried with this.
01:22:07Hot off the presses.
01:22:11What are you looking for?
01:22:13My quote.
01:22:14Yeah, I had to leave that out.
01:22:16What? It was a good quote.
01:22:18I had a word limit.
01:22:20But the important thing is that you saved the day again.
01:22:24I had help.
01:22:26Well, we could celebrate.
01:22:28How about dinner?
01:22:30I'm actually busy tonight.
01:22:32Big plans?
01:22:34Yeah.
01:22:36Something like that.
01:22:40Okay.
01:23:10I love you.
01:23:12So find yourself somebody.
01:23:17Find yourself somebody.
01:23:20Find yourself somebody to love.
01:23:40Find yourself somebody to love.
