00:00:00Single in the country, Love Me Always.
00:00:02Woo!
00:00:04Number one.
00:00:05Now, the number one album.
00:00:07This US tour was a huge success.
00:00:10Here's to you, the Faithfuls, for being the biggest
00:00:14new band of the decade.
00:00:16That's right.
00:00:17Woo!
00:00:21Here's to Abby, for writing all of our amazing songs.
00:00:27Here's to the night that changes everything.
00:00:31Woo!
00:00:32Yes.
00:00:32Yes.
00:00:33Yes.
00:00:42Dispatch, major crash on Range Road 87.
00:00:44Possible fatality.
00:00:45Over.
00:00:47And there's a new group rounding out the top 40 this week.
00:00:49This is the hit single by the Faithfuls.
00:00:52Fall apart, you will love me, love me always.
00:00:55Cause it's written in the stars that you
00:00:59are going to love me always.
00:01:09Red.
00:01:11Blue.
00:01:14Red.
00:01:17Blue.
00:01:19I don't know.
00:01:21Which outfit?
00:01:22Mom, just pick one.
00:01:24You could rock sweats and Tom would love it.
00:01:27Never fear, Marlo, your fairy fashionista is here.
00:01:31Oh, I love the bob.
00:01:32Really?
00:01:33You don't think it's too short?
00:01:34No, my gosh.
00:01:35No, it is perfect.
00:01:36And I've dressed the outfit for it.
00:01:38You called in backup?
00:01:40Someone had to.
00:01:42Fair.
00:01:44Who are the Faithfuls, anyway?
00:01:47I'm sorry, who?
00:01:49Have you taught her nothing?
00:01:50Apparently not.
00:01:51They are only the best band ever.
00:01:54Ever.
00:01:56Ever.
00:01:57Your mother and I were obsessed with them in high school.
00:02:00This is what I think it is.
00:02:01Our very first poster of them.
00:02:02Oh, I am so jealous you get to go.
00:02:08Tom must have pulled some serious strings.
00:02:11Why haven't I heard of this group?
00:02:12Well, the Faithfuls broke up 20 years ago
00:02:16when their bassist and songwriter Abby tragically died.
00:02:19And we never thought that we would ever hear them sing again.
00:02:22But they are coming back together for one night
00:02:25only to sing all of their greatest hits.
00:02:27And it's going to be epic!
00:02:30What is even happening right now?
00:02:35Listen up.
00:02:36Tonight is an invite only live recording at Vogue.
00:02:39You'll be working with private security detail
00:02:41in a device free zone.
00:02:43Your phones are cleared, but guests
00:02:44are going to have to secure their cells
00:02:45in phone lock pouches.
00:02:47I'll be off duty tonight.
00:02:49But Mason, you're running lead.
00:02:53Awesome.
00:02:55OK, rock and roll.
00:02:59So this is the night, huh?
00:03:01Yeah, yes.
00:03:02Not every day a band has a 20-year anniversary.
00:03:04No, I meant for you.
00:03:05First date with Goldie.
00:03:07So did you order a fresh limo?
00:03:10Limo?
00:03:11Oh, yeah.
00:03:12You don't have to order a fresh limo.
00:03:14I mean, it's kind of a special night,
00:03:15but your sedan should be OK.
00:03:17You detailed it, right?
00:03:20Well, it's OK if you haven't done that.
00:03:21I'm sure she'll love the flowers.
00:03:24Then again, flowers are overrated.
00:03:26Mason?
00:03:27Yeah?
00:03:28Stop talking.
00:03:31You got chocolates, though, right?
00:03:32Tom?
00:03:34Very good catering.
00:03:36This is Goldie.
00:03:37Hi, I'm Nicola Martins.
00:03:38I'm the manager of the Faithfuls,
00:03:40and I'm in a bit of a bind.
00:03:41My caterer just bailed something about a broken arm.
00:03:45Anyway, I really need an experienced caterer
00:03:47to take over.
00:03:49I'm sorry, did you just say the Faithfuls?
00:03:52That's correct.
00:03:53I cannot begin to tell you how flattered I am,
00:03:59but I'm actually attending.
00:04:01Oh, yeah, I know.
00:04:02You're on the list.
00:04:03That's how I knew you'd be available.
00:04:05I can't.
00:04:06Tonight is, it's very special.
00:04:09Let me be frank.
00:04:10This band and I go way back.
00:04:12The Faithfuls are like my family,
00:04:13and I need to take care of them.
00:04:15I can get you VIP passes, autographed merch,
00:04:18anything you want.
00:04:20Nicola?
00:04:22You have me at family.
00:04:25It would be my honor to take care of them.
00:04:27Really?
00:04:28Yes.
00:04:29It's one of the reasons I became a caterer.
00:04:31Great.
00:04:32OK, well, keep your eye on your inbox.
00:04:33I'll send you the rider.
00:04:34Hi.
00:04:35Hi.
00:04:39Hi.
00:04:40Hi.
00:04:41Oh.
00:04:47It's not 7 yet, is it?
00:04:50Nope.
00:04:51I just say I came to give you these.
00:05:04OK.
00:05:06What's going on?
00:05:08Well, I know tonight is our first official date,
00:05:12and you had to jump through hoops to get these tickets.
00:05:17And believe me when I tell you that I didn't want to do this.
00:05:22Canceling our date?
00:05:23Is that what's happening?
00:05:24No.
00:05:25No, no, no, no.
00:05:26I'm not canceling.
00:05:28It's just I might have agreed to cater it.
00:05:34Cater it?
00:05:35Yeah.
00:05:36Goldie, it's supposed to be your night off.
00:05:37I know.
00:05:38But I'll be available throughout the concert.
00:05:40I'll be with you.
00:05:41And Marla agreed to help.
00:05:43I just didn't want you to think that work was more important.
00:05:48I just want to spend time with you, OK?
00:05:52It doesn't matter what we're doing.
00:05:54If you're OK, I'm OK.
00:05:56OK.
00:05:58OK.
00:05:59So I'll meet you there.
00:06:01Meet you there.
00:06:03I'm just going to have to cancel the limo.
00:06:10Wait, you weren't really going to pick me up in a limo, right?
00:06:14No.
00:06:15No, of course not.
00:06:17OK.
00:06:18Yeah.
00:06:19Come on.
00:06:20See you later.
00:06:20See you later.
00:06:26Yeah, hi.
00:06:27Luxury limos.
00:06:37Thank you so much for stepping in last minute.
00:06:40Are you kidding me?
00:06:41I have never been so excited to air fry in my life.
00:06:45Oh, I hope they sing Love Me Always.
00:06:48Of course they will.
00:06:49It's only their biggest hit.
00:06:57This brings back memories.
00:07:03Ladies and gentlemen, I would like to introduce to you the Faithfuls.
00:07:13Uh, excuse me, testing.
00:07:14One, two.
00:07:15Hello.
00:07:20Please stop tapping my mic.
00:07:22Sam, what is the hold up?
00:07:26Sorry, Nicola, I am rerouting everything to the generator outside.
00:07:30This place is too old to handle modern equipment.
00:07:32I mean, when's the last time there was a concert here anyway?
00:07:35Just handle it, please, Sam.
00:07:40Voldy, Marla, I'm Nicola.
00:07:41I'm the band manager.
00:07:43Oh, hi.
00:07:44It's so nice to meet you.
00:07:45Thank you so much for doing this last minute.
00:07:47I really appreciate it.
00:07:48Of course.
00:07:49Oh, that is nothing to worry about.
00:07:52That happens here.
00:07:54Follow me.
00:07:57Let's see if you can find a plug for us.
00:08:01Yeah.
00:08:07Who was that?
00:08:10You really like sneaking up on people.
00:08:12Don't plug in any of the appliances.
00:08:14I didn't touch anything.
00:08:15Well, don't even think about it.
00:08:16Okay, we are already at capacity.
00:08:18And one more strain on the electrical grid and it'll short the whole thing.
00:08:21Well, how are we supposed to work?
00:08:23That, that plug.
00:08:25That is the only plug you can use and only one appliance at a time.
00:08:28Okay?
00:08:32I'm gonna need verbal confirmation.
00:08:34Verbal confirmation.
00:08:36Yeah, confirm.
00:08:38Thanks, Sam.
00:08:47Oh, this is so exciting.
00:08:50You should be here any second.
00:08:51Oh, oh, just remember.
00:08:52Wake up.
00:08:53Goldie, Marla, the Faithfuls.
00:08:57We've got Derek Guitar, Selena, lead vocals, and Jax on drums.
00:09:02It's very nice to meet you.
00:09:04I had all your posters on my walls and I just, I love you all so much.
00:09:08And I listen to all your songs every night.
00:09:10And Love Me Always is my favorite breakup song.
00:09:12I cried so much every single time.
00:09:17I'm sorry, I panicked.
00:09:20It's okay.
00:09:20Put some shoes on.
00:09:22It was gross 20 years ago and it's still gross now.
00:09:25You know, I always perform in bare feet.
00:09:27Helps ground me.
00:09:29I feel a stronger connection to the stage.
00:09:31Stage.
00:09:32Guys, cut it out.
00:09:35Okay?
00:09:35You're gonna be on stage soon, playing together for the first time in decades.
00:09:40For Abby, right?
00:09:41That's why we're all here, remember?
00:09:42Just put your differences aside for one night.
00:09:45She's right.
00:09:46It's been 20 years.
00:09:48Has it?
00:09:48I guess some of us can forget easier than others.
00:09:51That's not what I meant.
00:09:52Your sister wouldn't want us to be fighting.
00:09:55Because you know women so well.
00:09:57Oh, I'm not gonna go there, Selena.
00:09:59Go where, sweetheart?
00:10:01You are just a blip from my past.
00:10:06Would anyone care for refreshments?
00:10:09Great.
00:10:11Selena, your tea soother with manuka honey and Meyer lemon.
00:10:15And Derek, you had the banana berry smoothie with extra ice.
00:10:22There's no, like, vanilla extract in it.
00:10:24No, I used vanilla bean.
00:10:25It's completely alcohol-free.
00:10:28And for you, we have a lactose-free, room-temperature mango banana smoothie with a splash of rum.
00:10:36Nicola, your vegan mango spinach smoothie.
00:10:40No ice.
00:10:41Perfect.
00:10:45This is some nice bling.
00:10:53Thanks.
00:10:55It's something that reminds me of my sister, Abby.
00:10:58Oh, I love that.
00:11:01You must really miss her.
00:11:04More than you know.
00:11:06Losing someone you love feels like the world stops making sense.
00:11:11But it's okay to not be okay.
00:11:14That's probably the most honest thing I've heard in a long time.
00:11:23It's really nice to meet you, Marla.
00:11:24You know, if you need a notepad, I have one.
00:11:44No, I'm just riffing new lyrics to Love Me Always.
00:11:49Never gonna be as good as Abby, but I've been spending some time in the studio laying down
00:11:53some tracks.
00:11:55This one's about regrets.
00:11:57I'll lead you to it.
00:12:10Oh, no, no, no, no.
00:12:12I am so sorry.
00:12:14That's Derek's.
00:12:15You jerk.
00:12:16You trying to make me fall off the wagon?
00:12:18Me?
00:12:19You took mine.
00:12:20You think I want to drink dairy just before hitting the stage?
00:12:22You know what?
00:12:22I'll just make new ones.
00:12:23No problem.
00:12:24I'm good.
00:12:24I'm good.
00:12:25I'm good.
00:12:26Goldie, thank you.
00:12:26Guys, let's go take some photos or something, please.
00:12:43On the upside, if they play as well as they argue, we are in for an epic show.
00:12:48Okay.
00:12:50Shouldn't you get going?
00:12:51Best friend.
00:12:53Yeah, have fun.
00:12:55And don't forget, put the sauce on the vegan drumsticks after they come out of the air fryer.
00:12:59I love you.
00:13:02Oh, you look thirsty.
00:13:05I have a drink for you.
00:13:23Baby, we're on the list.
00:13:33Goldie, your hair looks terrific.
00:13:35Thank you, Richard.
00:13:37What are you doing here?
00:13:39The owner of the Vogue is a patient of mine.
00:13:41He put us on the list.
00:13:42But you hate this band.
00:13:44How do I know?
00:13:44That's just bad.
00:13:45You hated this band our entire marriage.
00:13:47Don't blow my cover.
00:13:48Oh, wait.
00:13:50I forgot you were at my door.
00:13:51I'm sorry.
00:13:53Oh, this is Claire.
00:13:55She is president of the Faithfuls Worldwide Fan Club.
00:13:59Oh.
00:14:02Claire, this is Goldie.
00:14:03So nice to meet you.
00:14:08I've heard so much about you.
00:14:10And you are an OG superfan just like us.
00:14:13Yes, just like the two of you.
00:14:15Yes, I am.
00:14:16You know what?
00:14:16When you get inside, just make sure he belts out every lyric with you
00:14:20because Richard can't get enough of the Faithfuls.
00:14:24And you are catering for the band?
00:14:27I am.
00:14:27You know what?
00:14:28I would love to get my hands on a copy of The Rider.
00:14:31It would just be such a score for the fan club.
00:14:33You know what?
00:14:33As much as I would love to do that, I can't.
00:14:35I'm so sorry.
00:14:37NDA.
00:14:38Oh, yeah.
00:14:39Gotcha.
00:14:39Well, you kiddos have the best time.
00:14:42We will.
00:14:43A whole evening of uninterrupted Faithfuls.
00:14:47Yeah.
00:14:49Sing it loud and proud, Richard.
00:14:58Goldie.
00:15:02Wow.
00:15:03You look amazing.
00:15:05You took the words right out of my mouth.
00:15:07Oh.
00:15:08You look so handsome.
00:15:12You ready to do this?
00:15:13Yeah, I think so.
00:15:16First date.
00:15:18First date.
00:15:25So tell me about this band you love so much.
00:15:29Love.
00:15:30So the Faithfuls broke up many years ago when Abby, she's the songwriter, bassist,
00:15:37she died in a car accident.
00:15:39Yeah.
00:15:39And so Jax, her brother, he vowed that he would never perform without her.
00:15:44And up until now, that's been true.
00:15:47Derek, he bounced around from band to band.
00:15:49But he did tell me backstage that he's working on a solo album.
00:15:52So yay.
00:15:54Selena, obviously a huge career.
00:15:57But her and Derek used to date.
00:16:02Wow.
00:16:03I think I know more about this band than I do my own family.
00:16:11Goldie.
00:16:14Oh.
00:16:32Who do you think you are?
00:16:33You're following me?
00:16:34No, I'm not following you.
00:16:35We're having a conversation.
00:16:36Take your hands off me or I will call security.
00:16:42Enjoy the show.
00:16:43This isn't over.
00:17:04Hi, sorry.
00:17:05I had to get my phone from the lockbox thingy and there was a huge line.
00:17:09I remembered that I had to call my great aunt.
00:17:11She's not feeling well and lives alone.
00:17:13So, you know, I just forgot with all the excitement.
00:17:17Don't worry.
00:17:17Everything's fine.
00:17:20Your hands are all sticky.
00:17:25Ladies and gentlemen, this is a reminder that tonight's performance
00:17:27will be a live recording event.
00:17:30Please welcome to the stage, The Faithful.
00:17:40Where are they?
00:18:05Guys, I need to stay for a few minutes.
00:18:07No, no, no, no, no.
00:18:08That's not how we do this.
00:18:09Otherwise, it won't go on.
00:18:10I'll explain later.
00:18:12Seriously?
00:18:16Huh?
00:18:16I'm done.
00:18:17Come on, let's go.
00:18:27What was that all about?
00:18:28I don't know.
00:18:30Hey, everyone.
00:18:31I'm Derek.
00:18:33I'm the guitarist and I'm not usually front and center.
00:18:36So, thanks so much to Selena and Jax for the spotlight.
00:18:41Tonight's a tribute to Abby, a fearless songwriter who penned her truth.
00:18:46I recently found my truth.
00:18:49And then I wrote some new lyrics to a song you're all going to recognize.
00:18:55This one's for you, Abby.
00:18:59We love you always.
00:19:41Stay back, stay back, stay back.
00:19:53He's not breathing.
00:20:01This is not how this night was supposed to end.
00:20:04Oh, no.
00:20:11Derek!
00:20:16The coroner's going to confirm it with a histopathology,
00:20:19but it looks like Derek Russo was electrocuted.
00:20:22You know which amp Derek's guitar was plugged into?
00:20:24That one.
00:20:25We'll take it in for analysis.
00:20:27Good catch.
00:20:29Is that blood?
00:20:31Looks pretty coagulated.
00:20:32I'll have forensics take a photo and swab it.
00:20:34Good.
00:20:41Detective Tom Schultz, I'm sorry for your loss.
00:20:45Tell me who does your electricals.
00:20:48That would be Sam, our sound engineer and electrician.
00:20:51Where is he now?
00:20:53I'm sure he's around.
00:20:55Just curious, what did Derek say to you to make you leave the stage?
00:20:58You seemed pretty upset.
00:21:00Doesn't really matter, detective.
00:21:03He's gone.
00:21:04It's important.
00:21:06I don't want to talk badly about him, but as per usual, he pulled a jerk move.
00:21:12Derek demanded a few minutes on stage by himself or said he wouldn't do the show.
00:21:15We didn't have a choice.
00:21:17It was supposed to be all about Abby, but Derek made it all about himself.
00:21:24Tom?
00:21:26Excuse me.
00:21:33Hey.
00:21:34Hey.
00:21:38It wasn't exactly the first date I hoped for.
00:21:41No.
00:21:44No, you gotta go to work, okay?
00:21:47I need to check on my window.
00:21:49I don't understand.
00:21:50I have everything connected to the amplifiers.
00:21:53I mean, I made a few modifications because of the age of the venue, but it was all to code.
00:21:56I mean, well, maybe you missed something.
00:22:00Well, maybe you missed something.
00:22:03This is all your equipment?
00:22:04No.
00:22:04I mean, yes.
00:22:05It is my equipment.
00:22:07Did you leave your equipment or set up unattended?
00:22:10Well, I can't be in two places at once if that's what you're asking, so yeah.
00:22:15Look, I didn't do it.
00:22:16You're not going to pin this on me.
00:22:18Well, maybe one of the crew members or the band might have tampered with the equipment.
00:22:24Tampered, as in on purpose?
00:22:25No, no, no, no one would do this.
00:22:27I mean, it's basic electricity.
00:22:29We just finished doing the sound check.
00:22:31It was all working.
00:22:32I stuck my finger in a socket when I was a kid.
00:22:34Well, teenager.
00:22:36Fine, it was last year.
00:22:39It hurt, but I didn't die.
00:22:41You were probably wearing shoes.
00:22:43You know, Derek often went barefoot on stage.
00:22:45Yeah, but this is a wooden stage.
00:22:47Yeah.
00:22:48Wait, who else had access to the stage after you were finished?
00:22:51Me, Nicola, security, the band, obviously crew, the caterers, and occasionally fan slips through.
00:22:58Here's what I think.
00:23:00When Derek played the first chord on his electric guitar,
00:23:03the current went from the amp to the guitar and into his body.
00:23:08So when his hand touched the mic, he completed the circuit.
00:23:11Given the wooden stage, the resistance was lower,
00:23:13but that current zapped through him with lethal force.
00:23:18But then again, I'm no electrician.
00:23:21A lot of disappointed fans.
00:23:31Yeah, I'll say.
00:23:35Hey, you two.
00:23:36Hey.
00:23:38Either of you see anyone or anything suspicious backstage when you were setting up?
00:23:42I mean, just Sam.
00:23:44Fussing with the mics.
00:23:45Did you happen to...
00:23:46No, I did not plug in anything that killed the lead guitarist of The Thief.
00:23:50Of course you didn't.
00:23:51We know that, Merle.
00:23:53Do you think this was intentional?
00:23:58Call it a gut feeling.
00:23:59You know, when Derek went down and we all rushed the stage,
00:24:04there was a guy that bumped right into me leaving.
00:24:07He could not have gotten out of here fast enough.
00:24:10Can you describe what he looks like?
00:24:11Yeah, all black, black blazer, dark hair.
00:24:14It was pulled back and...
00:24:16He walked in the venue before us.
00:24:17Yes, that guy.
00:24:18His background check came back clear.
00:24:20And his ID and ticket were legit.
00:24:22But his name was odd.
00:24:24John Doe, as in pizza dough.
00:24:27Look at you, Mason.
00:24:29All grown up.
00:24:30Excellent police work.
00:24:31Thanks.
00:24:32Actually, I think I saw that guy arguing with Nicola in the wings right before the show.
00:24:37I kind of snuck in.
00:24:39Don't judge me.
00:24:40What were they arguing about?
00:24:41I don't know.
00:24:42But the conversation seemed pretty intense.
00:24:44This is all your fault.
00:24:45Okay, well...
00:24:46What?
00:24:47We'll go check with Nicola.
00:24:48Anything else?
00:24:49I don't know if this matters, but I was backstage,
00:24:53and I've sworn someone ate some of the vegan drumsticks.
00:24:55I'll look into this mystery guy.
00:24:58It was just Jackson and Abby playing in dive bars.
00:25:00I found Derek, I found you, and I made you all starve.
00:25:05We never should have agreed to this recording in the first place.
00:25:08Look, I know you're upset.
00:25:11But transferring your guilt onto me is not going to bring Derek down.
00:25:14What should I feel guilty about?
00:25:16You never forgave him for hurting you.
00:25:19All Derek ever wanted was to get the band back together.
00:25:21And you just jumped right on it.
00:25:23You couldn't help yourself.
00:25:25Selena.
00:25:28Sorry to interrupt.
00:25:30Nicola?
00:25:32Can I talk to you for a second?
00:25:44You know what John Doe?
00:25:47Who?
00:25:47Before the band took the stage,
00:25:49a witness saw you arguing with a man backstage who was ID'd as John Doe.
00:25:54I don't know who that is.
00:25:56Think anyone wanted to hurt Derek?
00:25:58No. No one.
00:26:00Since Derek got sober, he...
00:26:03He was on the right track.
00:26:06Anyone from his past who might have reappeared?
00:26:09No.
00:26:10Detective Schultz, why are you interrogating me?
00:26:13I just lost a beloved family member to a terrible accident.
00:26:17So unless you tell me different, we're done.
00:26:36Nicola, do you want me to send these to your hotel?
00:26:39Why don't you and Goldie show them?
00:26:40Or give them away?
00:26:42Do you need anything else before I go?
00:26:45No, Sam. That's okay. Thank you.
00:26:47And I'm sorry about Derek.
00:26:49I like that.
00:26:52I'll get you a police escort back to your hotel.
00:26:55We'll go back to avoid the media frenzy.
00:26:58Great.
00:27:01We're gonna take off.
00:27:03You?
00:27:04No, I gotta stick around for a debrief.
00:27:06Look, it's looking more and more like an accident.
00:27:09I guess my gut was wrong.
00:27:22Or maybe it wasn't.
00:27:27Can I...
00:27:34Sorry.
00:27:35Hey, I got here as fast as I could.
00:27:37I got here as fast as I could.
00:27:38I went to John Doe's address on file with the DMV.
00:27:41If he ever looked there, he doesn't now.
00:27:43How's Jax?
00:27:46He was poisoned.
00:27:47What?
00:27:48Yeah, cyanide.
00:27:49They found trace amounts.
00:27:51Doctors said that the food or drink he consumed must have slowed the absorption rate.
00:27:55I mean, cyanide is legitimately used in a lot of industries.
00:27:58But it can be found on the dark web.
00:28:00Yeah, I already contacted a cybercrime unit. They're on it.
00:28:02Is Jax gonna be okay?
00:28:04Yeah, they gave him B12, activated charcoal.
00:28:06He'll make a full recovery.
00:28:07Was anyone else poisoned?
00:28:10I'm doing a full talk screen on Selina Nicholas-Am
00:28:13as well as Derek.
00:28:15This is now a murder investigation.
00:28:17Tom, what did Jax have to eat or drink?
00:28:22He only ate whatever Marla or Goldie prepared that day.
00:28:27Mason, we need to bring Goldie in for questioning.
00:28:30Me?
00:28:31Yeah.
00:28:31Yeah, I'm compromised.
00:28:33Well, you don't think Goldie did it?
00:28:35No.
00:28:36No, of course not.
00:28:37But whoever had access to that green room tampered with the food.
00:28:40And we need to find out who and get to Goldie before the press does.
00:28:42Okay?
00:28:47Now, Mason.
00:28:48All right, okay.
00:28:52Hi, everyone.
00:28:53For those who are just joining, I'm Claire Weller,
00:28:55president of the worldwide fan club, The Most Faithfuls.
00:28:59And I was there.
00:29:01One minute, Derek Russo is standing up on stage.
00:29:03And the next minute, he's gone.
00:29:06I saw the spark come off the microphone.
00:29:10I thought it was all part of the show.
00:29:11And then, poof, Selina screams.
00:29:15Mom?
00:29:17Is that the same Claire, aka super fan dad, dating?
00:29:22It is.
00:29:28Are you okay with that?
00:29:30Yeah.
00:29:31She's not you, though.
00:29:33Oh, I love you so much.
00:29:36Hey, whatever makes your dad happy, right?
00:29:39Right back through there, there's footage of the green room,
00:29:42where the Faithfuls likely spent some time.
00:29:45I took the footage months ago.
00:29:46But you'll get the idea of how the band reacted with one another,
00:29:51how they were spending time with each other moments before they took their last steps.
00:29:55Wait a minute.
00:29:56That's not right.
00:29:58What?
00:30:00The great...
00:30:02Hold on.
00:30:03Mom?
00:30:03Yeah.
00:30:07Mason, what a nice surprise.
00:30:10Come in.
00:30:10I just put on a fresh pot.
00:30:11Oh, I need to show you something.
00:30:13Colby, I need you to come with me to the station.
00:30:17Shouldn't take long.
00:30:19What's going on?
00:30:20Is Tom okay?
00:30:21Yeah. Oh, no, he's fine.
00:30:23I'll explain on the way.
00:30:25Okay.
00:30:29Oh.
00:30:35I can't stay.
00:30:36I just want to make sure you're okay.
00:30:38I want to clear this up.
00:30:40I have no idea what could have happened.
00:30:43I am devastated.
00:30:45I wish I could stay here with you.
00:30:47But I need to recuse myself so our relationship doesn't jeopardize the case.
00:30:50Of course, yeah.
00:30:52I'll call you.
00:30:52Okay.
00:30:54Oh, before you go, I saw on the news today,
00:30:56Claire Weller was showing video footage of the green room.
00:30:59She said it was from months ago.
00:31:01It was from yesterday.
00:31:03My food was in there, my plants, my air fryer.
00:31:08So you think she could have snuck into the green room when you weren't there?
00:31:12I'll get a search warrant.
00:31:14Okay.
00:31:14Hey, Goldie.
00:31:16Hi.
00:31:17I just need you to walk me through how the fluid was brought in and prepared.
00:31:23Oh, gosh.
00:31:25I need coffee.
00:31:26You?
00:31:27Yes, please.
00:31:28Anything to erase the memory of that Elk Park PD special blend.
00:31:32Yes.
00:31:33Yeah, no kidding.
00:31:34That coffee should be on the least most wanted list.
00:31:39Oh.
00:31:40You know, they should be giving us loyalty points every time they bring us in for interrogation.
00:31:45We'd have gold status by now.
00:31:47Oh.
00:31:49Mine and Tom's first date?
00:31:52Lost innocence.
00:31:54Yeah.
00:31:56Poisoned.
00:31:59Electrocuted.
00:32:03Are you thinking what I'm thinking?
00:32:06I'm thinking what you're thinking.
00:32:16Okay.
00:32:18All right.
00:32:19So we have this guy.
00:32:27With the long, very nice hair.
00:32:32Mystery man.
00:32:34All right.
00:32:36This will work.
00:32:37Yeah, yeah.
00:32:39I'm gonna go get snacks.
00:32:40Great.
00:32:43Um.
00:32:44Goldie.
00:32:47I know I'm the one with the green thumb, but...
00:32:49What did you do to these poor orchids?
00:32:52I didn't do anything to them.
00:32:54I just...
00:32:55Brought them home.
00:32:58Oh.
00:33:04Do you smell that?
00:33:06It smells like bitter almonds.
00:33:11There's only one thing that smells like bitter almonds.
00:33:14Other than bitter almonds.
00:33:17Marzipan?
00:33:18Oh, amaretto.
00:33:21Cyanide.
00:33:25So the top support came back.
00:33:29Oh.
00:33:30And we found trace amounts of cyanide in Nicola, Derek, and Jax.
00:33:35Selina and Sam were clean.
00:33:37Goldie, how much and how fast did the band consume their beverages?
00:33:41Well, at first Derek and Jax, they accidentally swapped smoothies.
00:33:47But then they drank only half of their smoothie and they drank it fast.
00:33:51Nicola barely touched hers and Selina sipped her slowly.
00:33:56Because she had tea.
00:33:57Right, she was the only one with a hot drink.
00:34:00Marley, you said you poured the ice water on the orchids only after the band left the room?
00:34:03That's right.
00:34:04Well, the cyanide was already in the ice cubes the green room provided.
00:34:08Yes, that's why the orchids died.
00:34:10It was really slowly.
00:34:11Too slowly.
00:34:12Anyone who had ice in their drinks only had trace amounts in their system.
00:34:15Oh, wait a minute.
00:34:16No, Nicola.
00:34:18She had no ice.
00:34:19I saw her rub it on her skin.
00:34:22Well, cyanide is highly toxic.
00:34:24So even if you rub it on your skin, it could be poisonous.
00:34:27How would the killer have known that only Derek was going to drink the ice?
00:34:31Okay, Jax accidentally drank ice, cyanide, Selina, no ice, no cyanide, Sam, no cyanide,
00:34:42Nicola rubbed it on her skin, cyanide, Derek drank the ice.
00:34:49Cyanide.
00:34:50So if we remove these people from the list, we're only left with one targeted victim.
00:34:56Derek.
00:34:57Yeah.
00:34:58So then that means the killer had to improvise and resort to electrocution
00:35:04and weren't over their head.
00:35:07Well, no, no, that's not true.
00:35:09I mean, someone had to know the likes and dislikes and habits of all the band members.
00:35:14Yeah, like a super fan.
00:35:15Like a super fan.
00:35:17Mason just texted me.
00:35:18Claire's search warrant's been denied again.
00:35:20I gotta go.
00:35:25Something wrong?
00:35:27What are you doing tonight?
00:35:28You want to go on a recon mission?
00:35:30Break into Claire's house?
00:35:32Sounds good to me.
00:35:33Listen, I got an outfit.
00:35:35I just have to change.
00:35:36You need all black for that to be able to get in and get out.
00:35:38No, because that would be illegal.
00:35:41Right.
00:35:42I was thinking more along the lines of dinner at that new French bistro.
00:35:48Oh.
00:35:50Okay.
00:35:51You know, a date redo at Le Jardin.
00:35:55Well, that restaurant is booked for the next six months, but I love that idea.
00:36:04I know a guy.
00:36:12So when exactly did you take that video footage of the green room?
00:36:20Don't lie because you're on record.
00:36:23Before they took to the stage, I snuck in.
00:36:28Okay.
00:36:30I know the security guard.
00:36:31We go way back.
00:36:32You were in a restricted area where a serious incident occurred,
00:36:36leaving one band member dead and another one in the hospital.
00:36:38Did you touch or tamper with anything while you were in there?
00:36:40I took a quick video with my phone and then I went back.
00:36:44I was there five minutes.
00:36:45With a phone that was supposed to be locked up?
00:36:48You had a decoy phone.
00:36:50So what if I did?
00:36:52I was doing it for my fans.
00:36:55The Faithful's fans?
00:36:58Did you go backstage at all?
00:37:00Tamper with the amp.
00:37:04I love this band.
00:37:06I would never do anything to hurt them.
00:37:08We're going to need that video footage and any copies.
00:37:12And your cell phone.
00:37:14Really?
00:37:14Or we could charge you for trespassing, obstruction.
00:37:31Run a full forensic on Claire Weller's cell.
00:37:34Call logs, deleted messages, GPS, the works.
00:37:36If she's hiding something, find it.
00:37:40What's the status of the blood smudge on the wall near the amp?
00:37:42No fingerprints, no partials.
00:37:43They're running a chemical analysis, but the chromatograph is down.
00:37:46All right, what else you got?
00:37:48I ran some plates from the venue.
00:37:49Nothing turned up at or near Vogue.
00:37:51But get this.
00:37:52The phone lock pouches used to secure the phones have unique RFID technology.
00:37:56We used it to track the location of one bag that was missing.
00:37:58It was torn and discarded two miles north of the gas station.
00:38:01CCTV showed partial plates on a black van.
00:38:04We ran it through the DMV, got a hit.
00:38:07And?
00:38:08The van belongs to a Franco Sharpa, aka John Doe, a loan shark from L.A.
00:38:14Nice work, Mason.
00:38:23Ah, one more floral bouquet.
00:38:34Just what I need.
00:38:36Well, um, Goldie, uh, brought you a treat.
00:38:40What kind of treat?
00:38:42Homemade gluten-free cupcakes.
00:38:44Homemade gluten-free cupcakes?
00:38:47Those were my favorite.
00:38:48I thought they might be.
00:38:55I was just hoping it would buy me a question.
00:39:00Ask away.
00:39:00Nothing in my life is private.
00:39:02That is the cost of fame, and you have earned it.
00:39:05I was just curious, what made you kiss Derek on stage?
00:39:10Because I wanted to remind him that I was still very much alive.
00:39:15Look, I loved Abby, and it's not my proudest moment to be jealous of a dead woman.
00:39:21But I heard that Derek was writing songs about her, and he never wrote one about me.
00:39:27SB Jax, he's been released from the hospital.
00:39:36Don't ever scare me like that again.
00:39:38Can't be the only one stealing the spotlight.
00:39:42Hello to you too, Selena.
00:39:44Goldie, Marla, nice to see you again.
00:39:47We'll just get these flowers unwrapped and just, uh, be on our way.
00:39:54Where did you get those?
00:39:56From my supplier.
00:39:57Oh, no, you have to get those out of here right now.
00:40:00They're from her stalker.
00:40:01Oh, no, you have to get those out of here right now.
00:40:04They're from her stalker.
00:40:05Stalker?
00:40:07Goldie, the card.
00:40:08No, no, don't touch it.
00:40:09It could be evidence.
00:40:11I already know what it's going to say anyway.
00:40:13Always yours, always watching.
00:40:15BF.
00:40:17Well, do you know anyone with the initials BF?
00:40:19No.
00:40:20Selena, you were supposed to open the concert, right?
00:40:24Yeah, that's what we did in the sound check.
00:40:26That's what we did 20 years ago.
00:40:29But on stage, Derek blindsided us with a last minute request.
00:40:33But that must mean Selena wasn't the intended victim.
00:40:42Back when the band was big, it was always the same.
00:40:44Himalayan poppies and the same message.
00:40:47Always yours, always watching.
00:40:51BF.
00:40:52Is that the same card?
00:40:53Yeah, red border with black musical notes on the edges.
00:40:57We'll take it in for analysis.
00:40:59Knock yourselves out.
00:41:00You're not going to find any prints or DNA.
00:41:02We'll start there.
00:41:02But Mason, go back 20 years or more.
00:41:04See who bought and sold those cards.
00:41:06Audit, when was the last time you heard from them?
00:41:11Just after Abby's accident.
00:41:13And then the band broke up and I figured they lost interest.
00:41:17Marla, even though the order was anonymous,
00:41:20do you have any idea who would have left that cash in the note?
00:41:23No, it's first.
00:41:25And there was no security footage because she doesn't have cameras.
00:41:28Never felt the need to install them before, but I will now.
00:41:31But here's the weird part.
00:41:32The flowers were never delivered.
00:41:34They always just showed up in my dressing room wherever we were.
00:41:38And we could never figure out how they got there.
00:41:41Do you think this person is responsible for Derek's death?
00:41:44Well, there's a lot of possibilities, but you might still be in danger.
00:41:48So we're going to post around the clock security.
00:41:50Terrific.
00:41:51Nicola, talk to you for a minute.
00:42:00What's your connection to this man?
00:42:03I don't know who that is.
00:42:05Don't play games.
00:42:07How much money did Franco Sharpa loan you?
00:42:09Do you know how hard it is to bring together a disbanded group
00:42:13that is also dysfunctional and create one magical night again?
00:42:19Not a day goes by that I don't remember
00:42:21that I don't beat myself up over Abby's death.
00:42:23Maybe I could have stopped it if I'd known she was going out again that night.
00:42:26Where was she going?
00:42:28That's the million dollar question.
00:42:30So if Franco Sharpa loaned you money, why are you arguing with him backstage?
00:42:33Does it matter?
00:42:34The faithfuls are done.
00:42:35I'm ruined.
00:42:36Not exactly.
00:42:38We looked into your financials.
00:42:40You purchased key person insurance on every member of the band.
00:42:45Standard industry practice.
00:42:47I'm assuming all the liability.
00:42:48I have to protect the investors.
00:42:51The band is worth more to me alive than dead.
00:42:54Why are you asking me this?
00:42:56We're investigating a homicide, attempted murder, and now stalking.
00:43:03How well do you know Sam Baker?
00:43:05I've known Sam 20 years.
00:43:07He's solid.
00:43:08And he was doing the wiring for the faithfuls back then too?
00:43:10Yes.
00:43:11Why?
00:43:21You look nice, Mom.
00:43:24Dad's here.
00:43:26Is he not coming in?
00:43:28Mom, the woman Dad's dating is on your murder board.
00:43:32He saw it when he dropped me off this morning.
00:43:36He wasn't supposed to see that.
00:43:39But how well does he know Claire?
00:43:43I mean, they were supposed to be dating.
00:43:46I mean, I don't know.
00:43:47I mean, I don't know.
00:43:47I mean, I don't know.
00:43:48I mean, I don't know.
00:43:49I mean, I don't know.
00:43:49I mean, I don't know.
00:43:50I mean, I don't know.
00:43:50They were chatting online for a while, and they met a few months ago.
00:43:55And she's organizing a candlelight vigil for tonight.
00:43:58And I think that's kind of nice of her, isn't it?
00:44:04I didn't know there was a vigil.
00:44:06Because you're not on the faithfuls fan forum.
00:44:08It's at Vogue.
00:44:09Dad's taking me, and we're picking up Claire.
00:44:12Whoa.
00:44:13Hey, hold on.
00:44:14Before you say anything, it was my idea.
00:44:17I know she can be a little extra.
00:44:21A little.
00:44:22But I don't think she's some unhinged fan.
00:44:25Dad's saying she's been taking this pretty hard.
00:44:30I gotta go.
00:44:31Have fun on your date.
00:44:33Thank you, sweetheart.
00:44:35I love you.
00:44:36Love you, too.
00:44:37And I'll light a candle for you.
00:44:39Okay.
00:44:47I'm overdressed.
00:44:50I'm guessing we're swapping candlelight at a fancy French bistro for a candlelight vigil.
00:44:55Oh, I love how well you know me.
00:45:06I know this isn't exactly wine and dining, but thank you for coming with me.
00:45:12Exactly wine and dining, but thank you for coming with me.
00:45:16Is that all?
00:45:18Yeah.
00:45:20Just taking a sudden interest in the band.
00:45:21I think it's really sweet.
00:45:28Hi.
00:45:29Hi, everyone.
00:45:30Welcome, friends, to this very solemn occasion.
00:45:35We are here today to honor Derek Russo and the Faithfuls
00:45:40and the way they impacted our lives.
00:45:44Derek Russo was about to honor us with a new version of Love Me Always.
00:45:49We'll never know what new lyrics he was going to write,
00:45:55but we'll always have Abby's original beautiful version.
00:46:00I think we should listen to it.
00:46:02What do you say?
00:46:03And if anyone wants to come up and sing, come and join us.
00:46:10Here you go.
00:46:23Do you want to sing?
00:46:25Come on.
00:46:29Pick the mic.
00:46:29Go ahead.
00:46:40Woo!
00:46:45Woo!
00:47:09You are the love me always
00:47:21You do what you gotta do
00:47:39Love me, love me always
00:47:43Love will always find a way
00:47:45When you're starvin' in the dark
00:47:48Hi.
00:47:49Up to the bottom of the park
00:47:51You're gonna love me, love me always
00:47:53Let's rid it in the stars
00:47:55Yeah, you and I
00:47:57Let's go. Let's get out of here.
00:48:09I remember being in high school when we went to my first concert.
00:48:11They were more than just a band.
00:48:13Derek really inspired me.
00:48:15I played Love Me Always.
00:48:17And now what am I going to do?
00:48:19I don't want to go to jail.
00:48:21Derek inspired me to play the guitar and bass and violin.
00:48:23The best decision I've ever made was to play the trumpet and the accordion.
00:48:39What did she do?
00:48:41Oh.
00:48:43Oh.
00:48:45Oh.
00:48:47Oh.
00:48:49Oh.
00:48:51Oh.
00:48:53Oh.
00:48:55Oh.
00:48:57Oh.
00:48:59Oh.
00:49:01Oh.
00:49:03Oh.
00:49:05Oh.
00:49:07Oh.
00:49:15I told you already.
00:49:17I fell.
00:49:19While breaking into the green room.
00:49:21I didn't break in.
00:49:23Exactly.
00:49:25I was looking for a souvenir.
00:49:27What kind of souvenir?
00:49:29Well, Derek wrote new lyrics to the song.
00:49:31And he didn't get a chance to sing them.
00:49:33So Richard told me that the napkin that Derek wrote on
00:49:36might have been in here.
00:49:38What?
00:49:40The murder board was in plain sight.
00:49:42I knew it was wrong.
00:49:44I have never missed a concert.
00:49:46And those songs
00:49:48are like the anthems to my life.
00:49:50I had to see the lyrics.
00:49:52You've never
00:49:54missed a concert?
00:49:56Which is why you
00:49:58ransacked the green room.
00:50:00I didn't do this. It was like this when I walked in here.
00:50:02I swear, that's why I fell.
00:50:04Did you see anybody?
00:50:06Okay, well, let's
00:50:08talk about your most recent job.
00:50:10Well, I'm a temp.
00:50:12So I move around a lot.
00:50:14The one where you work in a chemical manufacturing plant that handles cyanide.
00:50:16We ran a background check.
00:50:18That one. Right.
00:50:20I'm a receptionist.
00:50:22But I did not put cyanide in the ice cubes.
00:50:24Richard, are you serious?
00:50:26Okay.
00:50:28I hate to rain on everyone's parade.
00:50:30Too late.
00:50:32But I need to get Claire to the hospital.
00:50:34She might have a concussion.
00:50:36Olive, I'll take you to Zoe's house.
00:50:38It's along the way. I'll be there in a minute.
00:50:40Claire.
00:50:42Don't leave town.
00:50:44I might have more questions for you.
00:50:50Mom.
00:50:52Yes, honey.
00:50:54I saw the electrician and he looked upset.
00:50:56I heard him mention going to jail.
00:50:58How do you know about Sam?
00:51:00He was on the murder board.
00:51:02How was I not going to look at that?
00:51:04It's literally in the living room.
00:51:06So that's why you were here.
00:51:08It wasn't about the music.
00:51:10I'm sorry.
00:51:12But I got to go.
00:51:14I love you, Mom.
00:51:16Bye, Tom.
00:51:18Bye. Bye, Olive.
00:51:24Not every day I get a celebrity in my shop.
00:51:26It's not every day
00:51:28that Marla comes into your life.
00:51:30You're trying to butter me up to pay for your coffee.
00:51:32I kind of own the place.
00:51:34Smart and sassy.
00:51:36And you'd love the Faithfuls fan site.
00:51:38Some of their theories are nuts.
00:51:40Abby's ghost is back to torment Selena.
00:51:42Selena's stalking herself
00:51:44for publicity.
00:51:46Derek faked his own death.
00:51:52I'm sorry you have to read all that stuff.
00:51:54You must be itching to go home.
00:51:56It's not so bad
00:51:58being stuck in Elk Park.
00:52:02Maybe you want to,
00:52:04I don't know,
00:52:06hang out later?
00:52:10Yeah, I would.
00:52:12But I have one rule right now
00:52:14and you're kind of breaking it.
00:52:18No leaning on your counter.
00:52:20Hey, no jokes about my counter allowed.
00:52:22But lucky for you,
00:52:24I have a soft spot for rule breakers.
00:52:26Lucky for me.
00:52:32So, I finally got the results
00:52:34of the red smudge.
00:52:36Is it good?
00:52:38Sugar, tomato paste,
00:52:40red wine vinegar, water,
00:52:42vegan
00:52:44Worcestershire
00:52:46sauce,
00:52:48mustard,
00:52:50and spices.
00:52:53More specifically,
00:52:55salt, pepper, paprika,
00:52:57and a dash of red chili.
00:52:59It's my backyard barbecue sauce
00:53:01and I used it to make vegan drumsticks.
00:53:03No blood.
00:53:05With all their food allergies,
00:53:07who was able to eat the drumsticks?
00:53:09Everybody except
00:53:11Selena.
00:53:13She has a weed allergy.
00:53:15Wait a second, you were making the drumsticks
00:53:17when the band was on stage?
00:53:19Are you sure about that timing?
00:53:21We could only plug in one appliance at a time
00:53:23and the air fryer was last to be used.
00:53:25Wow.
00:53:27The smudge couldn't have come from anyone in the band.
00:53:29Mm-mm.
00:53:33What do you want?
00:53:35The truth.
00:53:37A witness saw you arguing with the manager of the Faithfuls
00:53:39just before Derek Russo was electrocuted.
00:53:41Another witness saw you fleeing the scene.
00:53:43Is that a crime?
00:53:45No, but it's suspicious.
00:53:47Look,
00:53:49tell me the truth
00:53:51and I'll release you
00:53:53and maybe,
00:53:55maybe I'll overlook the weapons charge.
00:53:59You want to know?
00:54:01Okay, fine.
00:54:05I'm a big fan of the Faithfuls.
00:54:07What?
00:54:09A huge fan and I lent Nicola a whole lot of money
00:54:11to get this gig together.
00:54:13All I was asking for was a backstage pass
00:54:15to meet the band, hang out.
00:54:17She promised it to me.
00:54:19But then that control freak went back on her word
00:54:21and she treated me like I was a criminal.
00:54:23First sign of trouble
00:54:25and I fled the scene.
00:54:27I know how this works and I'm not saying another word.
00:54:29You can either release me
00:54:31or you can speak to my attorney.
00:54:39So Franco shot the lift out.
00:54:41Yeah, we can't rule him out completely
00:54:43but
00:54:45his story checks out.
00:54:47And what about Sam?
00:54:49I'm still looking into him.
00:54:53You know,
00:54:55I have a murder board at the precinct
00:54:57but yours has
00:54:59a lot more
00:55:01punch.
00:55:05We should hire you.
00:55:07You can't afford me.
00:55:09I'm in the wrong line of work.
00:55:11Any luck with the card stock?
00:55:13It was discontinued 18 years ago.
00:55:15No leads, no records.
00:55:21Is it possible that somebody's
00:55:23just trying to wipe out the band?
00:55:25If Selena would have sung first
00:55:27she would have been the one to be electrocuted
00:55:29and if the poison would have worked earlier
00:55:31then the whole band would have been gone.
00:55:33That's an interesting theory.
00:55:37Groovyberry?
00:55:40Groovyberry?
00:55:46Maybe this will help.
00:55:48I let myself in.
00:55:50Come here.
00:55:52Okay, so.
00:55:54I was talking to Jax.
00:55:56In fact, we have a date tonight.
00:55:58What? Really?
00:56:00Where?
00:56:02Oh, no biggie. We're just going to meet up for cocktails
00:56:04after I close the shop.
00:56:06I mean, we can't very well go out in public.
00:56:08What are you going to wear?
00:56:10Oh, I was thinking that green dress
00:56:12with the little sleeves.
00:56:14Ladies?
00:56:16The laptop.
00:56:18Oh, right.
00:56:20This is the Faithfuls Fan Forum.
00:56:22Most of it is just crazy, random theories.
00:56:24Except this.
00:56:26That is it, Derek.
00:56:28I am done with you.
00:56:30The next time you open your mouth on stage
00:56:32it'll be your last.
00:56:34You're welcome.
00:56:38You made me come down here for that?
00:56:40Everyone knows Derek and I had history.
00:56:42I know you dated back in the day.
00:56:44Fill in the blanks.
00:56:46To call it a toxic relationship
00:56:48is putting it mildly.
00:56:50He said way worse things to me.
00:56:52Except
00:56:54that video is dated
00:56:56the day of the concert.
00:56:58And he's not here to defend himself.
00:57:00Despite what you may think,
00:57:02I was gutted about his death.
00:57:04All I meant by this video
00:57:06is that I would never share the stage
00:57:08with him again.
00:57:10You know, your career has really taken off
00:57:12since the band broke up.
00:57:14Did Derek reach out to you a couple years ago
00:57:16for a gig and you turned him down?
00:57:18In public?
00:57:20How did you hear about that?
00:57:22Of course.
00:57:24The fan sites.
00:57:26Yes, it's true.
00:57:28At any time, did you go backstage
00:57:30before the concert?
00:57:32Are you asking me if I killed Derek?
00:57:34The answer is no.
00:57:36I loved him.
00:57:38But he was a tortured soul.
00:57:42You know,
00:57:44he broke up with me
00:57:46the day that Abby died.
00:57:50I didn't know that.
00:57:52Not many people did.
00:57:54At least I could keep that part of my life private.
00:57:56Derek was never the same
00:57:58after that day.
00:58:00And I thought that maybe
00:58:02we could try again.
00:58:04Better timing.
00:58:06He was the love of my life.
00:58:08But...
00:58:12He'd never say that I was his.
00:58:20To know more about our suspect,
00:58:22we need to know more about our victim.
00:58:25This is so good.
00:58:27Thanks.
00:58:29For example?
00:58:31Well,
00:58:33what do we know about Derek's new songs?
00:58:35We know that he was working on a new album
00:58:37and that he talked about regrets.
00:58:39Hmm.
00:58:41You know, Selena said he was a tortured soul.
00:58:43He actually broke up with her the night Abby died.
00:58:47Could
00:58:49Derek have
00:58:51done this to himself?
00:58:53He was struggling.
00:58:55He was recovering alcoholic.
00:58:57Maybe he fell off the wagon.
00:58:59No, no, no. I see what you're saying, but I don't think so.
00:59:01No.
00:59:03I mean, he was
00:59:05genuinely upset when he had a sip
00:59:07of Jackson's smoothie, which had the rum in it.
00:59:09What do you know about
00:59:11his and Selena's relationship?
00:59:13There's mushrooms in here?
00:59:15At plant. So close.
00:59:17Um...
00:59:19On again, off again.
00:59:21Uh, I think she wanted
00:59:23to be on again.
00:59:25It must have been tough for Selena
00:59:27to be rejected by Derek again. I mean, she was the star.
00:59:31Is it basil that I'm tasting?
00:59:33Mint.
00:59:35What would I be without you?
00:59:37Hungry.
00:59:39With that kiss.
00:59:41I mean, that was
00:59:43something.
00:59:45Really? I don't...
00:59:47I don't recall it.
00:59:49Maybe you just need a reminder.
00:59:51Why would I...
01:00:03Is it
01:00:05coming back to you now?
01:00:07You know, um...
01:00:09That's quality
01:00:11evidence right there.
01:00:13So she was making a point.
01:00:15Do women always?
01:00:19You know, you don't forget a kiss like that.
01:00:21So...
01:00:23Either Derek's heart changed
01:00:25or it belonged
01:00:27to someone else.
01:00:29Hmm.
01:00:33By the way, I wasn't trying to make a point.
01:00:35I just really wanted to kiss you.
01:00:37Another pastry? Yes, please.
01:00:39All right.
01:00:41Well, thanks anyway.
01:00:43It's worth a shot.
01:00:45Bad news.
01:00:47Dead end on the dark web.
01:00:49Cybercrime couldn't trace the person
01:00:51to the cyanide back to the IP address.
01:00:53So we have another problem.
01:00:59What am I looking at?
01:01:01Sam Baker.
01:01:03The electrician?
01:01:05I'm confused.
01:01:07That's Sam Baker.
01:01:09But we checked him against the DMV.
01:01:11Our Sam Baker gave us a bogus
01:01:13electrician's license number
01:01:15that belongs to that guy, Harold Gustafson.
01:01:17There's no record of Sam Baker
01:01:19as a licensed electrician that matches him.
01:01:21Are you telling me the sound engineer
01:01:23for the Faithfuls who's been working
01:01:25for decades and responsible for all the wiring
01:01:27and the electrical work is not a licensed electrician?
01:01:29Looks like it.
01:01:31Bring him in.
01:01:37Am I going to jail?
01:01:39That depends on you.
01:01:41Okay.
01:01:43Look, I admit,
01:01:45I exaggerated my credentials a little.
01:01:47It's fraud.
01:01:49Practicing without a license,
01:01:51falsification of documents.
01:01:53Do you want me to continue?
01:01:55Okay, a lot.
01:01:57I know I should have come clean,
01:01:59but to me, it's just a piece of paper.
01:02:01I don't care.
01:02:03I don't care.
01:02:05I know I should have come clean,
01:02:07but to me, it's just a piece of paper.
01:02:09You know, and over time,
01:02:11it became less and less important.
01:02:13I started getting hired based off of word of mouth
01:02:15because I am an excellent electrician.
01:02:17It's never a problem until someone dies.
01:02:19Sorry to interrupt.
01:02:21Analysis for the end came back.
01:02:29It shows crossed wires.
01:02:31The ground wire
01:02:33was cut, disabling the safety.
01:02:35And the live wire
01:02:37to the guitar and the neutral wire
01:02:39to the mic, they were tampered with
01:02:41to complete a circuit.
01:02:43This was intentional.
01:02:45It was a cruel way to go,
01:02:47but it showed cold-blooded intent.
01:02:51I need a lawyer.
01:02:53Yeah.
01:02:55You do.
01:03:01Okay.
01:03:09Nicola.
01:03:11Hey.
01:03:13Hi. Are you leaving?
01:03:15Well, I'm not leaving Elk Park,
01:03:17but I can't stay at this hotel.
01:03:19I'm broke. I'm crashing with a friend.
01:03:21Sorry to hear that.
01:03:23You know, I've been, um,
01:03:25meaning to ask you, actually,
01:03:27is there anything that you could share
01:03:29about your relationship?
01:03:31What relationship?
01:03:33They were friends.
01:03:35Derek was dating Selena, not Abby.
01:03:37But if you don't mind, Goldie,
01:03:39I'd really prefer not to talk about that night.
01:03:41It still hurts.
01:03:49You know, I was the one
01:03:51who had to ID her at the morgue.
01:03:53The image of Abby's
01:03:55bloody vintage white gown...
01:03:57It haunts me.
01:03:59I believe it.
01:04:05All right, well, thanks anyway.
01:04:09DA's not ready to press charges
01:04:11on Sam Baker.
01:04:13This is the only way we have backstage access.
01:04:15Speaking of, everything off Claire Weller's phone.
01:04:17Finally.
01:04:19What do we got here?
01:04:23Is that Abby Flanagan
01:04:25from the Faithfuls?
01:04:27That's her car crash.
01:04:33How did Claire
01:04:35get photos of it?
01:04:37The cops would never release it to the public.
01:04:39This takes superfandom
01:04:41to a whole other level.
01:04:43Oh, it's okay, Tom. No, I was actually
01:04:45about to call you to postpone.
01:04:47Um, I think Olive
01:04:49may have sprained her ankle at pincing practice.
01:04:51No, she's...
01:04:53She's okay, yeah.
01:04:55I actually need to call Richard.
01:04:57He's not responding to my text.
01:04:59Okay.
01:05:01Yeah, I'll talk to you later.
01:05:03Sorry.
01:05:07Tom says he hopes you feel better soon.
01:05:09Hmm.
01:05:21I've seen that card before.
01:05:23That card?
01:05:25Yeah.
01:05:27It was in a hutch.
01:05:29There was a whole stack of them.
01:05:31Where did you see that card?
01:05:35At Claire's house.
01:05:39Okay.
01:05:45Yes?
01:05:47Excuse me,
01:05:49you can't just come into my house.
01:05:51Search warrant in your hand says we can't.
01:05:53What? What is this about?
01:05:55Hey, sit in there.
01:05:57Excuse me, where do you think you're going?
01:06:01Can you please tell me what's going on here?
01:06:03Am I explaining this?
01:06:05What's there to explain?
01:06:09Claire Weller, you're under arrest for stalking.
01:06:11Turn around and place your hands behind your back.
01:06:13No, this is a mistake.
01:06:15I haven't done anything.
01:06:17You have the right to remain silent.
01:06:19Anything you say can and will be used against you in a court of law.
01:06:21You have the right to an attorney.
01:06:23If you cannot afford an attorney, one will be provided for you.
01:06:25Do you understand these rights as I've read them to you?
01:06:27Yes, but this is a big misunderstanding.
01:06:29Well, you can explain yourself down at the station.
01:06:31For now, you're going to come with me.
01:06:33Mason, bag the ice.
01:06:39For your long night ahead.
01:07:09I just...
01:07:11I don't understand.
01:07:13What...
01:07:15What is so threatening about cards and flowers?
01:07:17You snuck into Selena's dressing room
01:07:19and left anonymous notes.
01:07:21Even back then.
01:07:23I always signed them.
01:07:25B.F.
01:07:27Biggest fan.
01:07:29Always yours.
01:07:31Always mine.
01:07:33Always mine.
01:07:35Always mine.
01:07:37Always yours.
01:07:39Always watching.
01:07:41I was always watching.
01:07:43I've never missed a concert before.
01:07:45I love the Faithfuls.
01:07:47So why'd you stop sending notes and flowers when Abby died?
01:07:49Then you started again now.
01:07:51Well, I never stopped because Abby died.
01:07:53I stopped because the Faithfuls stopped.
01:07:55When they reunited,
01:07:57I wanted to wish Selena well.
01:07:59Just don't tell her
01:08:01that I'm not the biggest fan of her solo album.
01:08:03It's...
01:08:05It's...
01:08:11What about the car crash photos?
01:08:13Huh?
01:08:15Where'd you get these?
01:08:17Oh.
01:08:19Awful.
01:08:21Uh, from the police.
01:08:23How?
01:08:25A lady never kisses and tells.
01:08:27I didn't release them, okay?
01:08:29Trust me, I could've.
01:08:31But there are some lines
01:08:33that won't cross.
01:08:39Why did you poison the band?
01:08:41Poison?
01:08:43What are you talking about?
01:08:45So you didn't slip something in otherwise?
01:08:47Of course not.
01:08:49Why don't you just admit you ate the drumsticks?
01:08:51Yeah, we found a smudge of sauce near the amp
01:08:53that killed Derek.
01:08:55An amp?
01:08:57Okay, I was backstage for just a second,
01:08:59but an amp? I mean, I don't know the difference
01:09:01between a light switch or a light bulb.
01:09:03All right, I helped myself to some drumsticks,
01:09:05but it was dark in there
01:09:07and I was wearing these new high heels,
01:09:09so I lost my balance and I grabbed onto the wall.
01:09:13So arrest me for being clumsy.
01:09:17I can't arrest you for that.
01:09:23So, uh,
01:09:25how did you
01:09:27just happen upon
01:09:29the cards in Claire's hutch?
01:09:33I, uh,
01:09:35might have said I was thirsty and
01:09:37went to go look for a glass
01:09:39while she was talking in town.
01:09:41Oh, what did you know?
01:09:43Even though you brought your water bottle?
01:09:47These are pretty napkins.
01:09:51Nice deflection.
01:09:59There's writing on this one.
01:10:01Hmm?
01:10:03It looks like
01:10:05lyrics.
01:10:07Derek.
01:10:09Derek was writing lyrics.
01:10:11Wait, wait, wait, wait,
01:10:13but now they'll understand
01:10:15the crash that broke the band the very last day
01:10:17I heard you say,
01:10:19love me, love me always, a secret safe with you,
01:10:21a ruby ring,
01:10:23and you were gonna
01:10:25love me always.
01:10:27What does it mean?
01:10:29The crash that broke the band.
01:10:31The crash that broke the band.
01:10:33What is it?
01:10:35I took a picture of Tom's murder board.
01:10:37Don't judge. Do as I say, not as I do.
01:10:39Look.
01:10:45One ruby ring.
01:10:53A secret safe with you.
01:10:57We got enough to take her in.
01:11:07Either she's the greatest actress
01:11:09or she's genuinely clueless.
01:11:11I'm not clueless.
01:11:23Still staring at that car crash?
01:11:25Yeah.
01:11:27What is it about that photo
01:11:29that's not sitting right with you?
01:11:31I don't know, it's just...
01:11:35Sitting right.
01:11:37Sitting right.
01:11:41I'll be in forensics.
01:11:55Oh, golly.
01:11:57Tell me you didn't.
01:11:59I didn't.
01:12:01But you did.
01:12:03I did.
01:12:05Claire didn't do it.
01:12:07I know. I know.
01:12:09Look, so the night of the car accident,
01:12:11Nicholas said they all went to bed.
01:12:13So why is Abby,
01:12:15all dolled up in a vintage white dress,
01:12:17driving around in the middle of the night by herself?
01:12:19I had forensics measure the distance to the driver's seat.
01:12:21It was too far for her to reach the pedals.
01:12:23Abby was short.
01:12:25There's no way she was driving.
01:12:27She was moved and placed there after the accident.
01:12:29Which means that she wasn't alone.
01:12:31Exactly.
01:12:33Look, despite all of their grievances with Derek,
01:12:35there is only one person
01:12:37that lost more than any of them that night.
01:12:41A lost money can't replace...
01:12:43Yes.
01:12:45A ruby ring.
01:12:47Tom.
01:12:49Marla.
01:12:51Marla.
01:12:53Dispatch,
01:12:55requesting immediate backup at Main and 24th Street.
01:12:57It's too bad
01:12:59you have to leave tomorrow,
01:13:01but at least you're all safe now.
01:13:03Just when things were getting interesting.
01:13:07Well, tonight
01:13:09we will toast to new friendships.
01:13:13And once we get back to my place,
01:13:15I have just the drink.
01:13:17My new ruby red cocktail.
01:13:19In honor of Abby.
01:13:21What did you say?
01:13:27What do you know about Abby?
01:13:29Oh, well, you know.
01:13:31Ruby.
01:13:33Oh, ow.
01:13:39Who's calling?
01:13:41It's just Goldie.
01:13:43Maybe I should get that.
01:13:45Marla, it's Jax.
01:13:47Get out now! Marla!
01:13:51You know,
01:13:53this has been really fun,
01:13:55but you have to leave early tomorrow,
01:13:57so maybe we should just call it a night.
01:13:59I don't think so.
01:14:13Wait, what are you doing here?
01:14:15Did you really think I wasn't coming in?
01:14:17I kept this from your car.
01:14:19Let's go.
01:14:21Marla!
01:14:25Marla?
01:14:27Jax!
01:14:31Don't do anything you're going to regret, Jax.
01:14:35Marla?
01:14:37Marla, are you okay?
01:14:41Stay back!
01:14:43Marla!
01:14:45Worst day of my life.
01:14:47Jax, put the weapon down, okay?
01:14:49We know what happened.
01:14:51You don't know anything.
01:14:53I mean it. Who's the gun?
01:14:55We know that Derek was the one driving that night.
01:14:57He caused the accident.
01:14:59I found Derek's new lyrics.
01:15:01He was in love with your sister Jax.
01:15:03No, he wasn't.
01:15:05He killed her.
01:15:07They were going to get married.
01:15:09That's why she had his ring.
01:15:11Love you.
01:15:13Love you more.
01:15:17Derek, look out!
01:15:21Derek came to
01:15:23in the driver's seat, but Abby,
01:15:25she was gone.
01:15:27The records
01:15:29Abby's blood alcohol level was high.
01:15:31Most likely so was Derek's.
01:15:33Panic set in.
01:15:35He placed her in the driver's seat,
01:15:37forgot his ring
01:15:39on her finger,
01:15:41and fled the scene.
01:15:43Derek left her there to die.
01:15:45He didn't even call for help.
01:15:47Like my sister's life meant nothing.
01:15:49Jax, calm down.
01:15:51How do you know this?
01:15:53Sacramento PD
01:15:55gave my mom
01:15:57the box of my sister's personal effects.
01:15:59My mom passed recently
01:16:01and I got the box.
01:16:03When I opened it and saw Derek's
01:16:05stupid ruby ring, I knew that coward was involved.
01:16:07So then you
01:16:09confronted Derek, right?
01:16:11Yeah, and he confessed.
01:16:13Instead of turning himself in,
01:16:15he saw dollar signs.
01:16:17Like he had any talent.
01:16:19There's no way I was letting him
01:16:21profit from Abby's death.
01:16:23You should have called the police.
01:16:25I did!
01:16:27The DA said it was my word against his.
01:16:29He refused to reopen the case.
01:16:31Insufficient evidence.
01:16:33You were the one that
01:16:35took the green room.
01:16:37You wanted to bury his lyrical confession.
01:16:39Right, Jax?
01:16:41I didn't want to give him the satisfaction of a clear conscience.
01:16:45Even in his death.
01:16:49Jax,
01:16:51put the weapon down.
01:16:53I can't.
01:16:55I'm in too deep.
01:16:57Hey, where are you going?
01:16:59It's okay, Jax. Look at me.
01:17:01Put it down. Come on.
01:17:05We understand.
01:17:07You just wanted justice for your sister.
01:17:09That is why
01:17:11you killed Derek.
01:17:13I was her brother.
01:17:15I should have protected her.
01:17:17At least now justice
01:17:19has been done.
01:17:21So when you were forced off stage,
01:17:23you switched the good amp
01:17:25for the one that was tampered with.
01:17:27It was your backup plan.
01:17:29In case the cyanide didn't work.
01:17:31You even went as far
01:17:33as poisoning yourself.
01:17:35It was only supposed to be in Derek's drink.
01:17:37The reason
01:17:39that you were horrified
01:17:41was because you accidentally drank
01:17:43Derek's smoothie laced with cyanide.
01:17:45Have you heard the new lyrics
01:17:47to Love Me Always?
01:17:49You want to hear them?
01:17:51When I thought
01:17:53that I'd lost you,
01:17:55I couldn't stand
01:17:57the thought to
01:17:59hide behind
01:18:01the truth
01:18:03when I buried you.
01:18:07And now they'll understand
01:18:09the crash that broke the band
01:18:11on the very
01:18:13last day I heard
01:18:15you say.
01:18:17I mean it. Kill it!
01:18:19Love me, love me always.
01:18:21Love will always find
01:18:23a way.
01:18:25When I lost everything
01:18:27in the ruby ring.
01:18:29Stop singing!
01:18:31Drop the gun!
01:18:33We're leaving.
01:18:35Now. Hey, hey, hey.
01:18:39Let's go, let's go, let's go.
01:18:47Jax?
01:18:49Where are you gonna go?
01:18:51You're surrounded.
01:18:53There's nowhere to go.
01:18:55No, no, no, no, no.
01:18:57Hey, hey, look, Jax, Jax.
01:18:59You're surrounded, Jax.
01:19:01Hey, hey, look, look, look.
01:19:03Put my weapon down.
01:19:05Put my weapon down.
01:19:17Love me, love me always.
01:19:19And you...
01:19:21Stop singing that song!
01:19:23Love me always.
01:19:25Now!
01:19:31You're okay.
01:19:35Miss Flanagan,
01:19:37you're under arrest for the murder of Derek Russo.
01:19:39I'm sure the DA has other charges too.
01:19:41Criminal mischief.
01:19:43Unlawful administration of a controlled substance.
01:19:45Reckless endangerment.
01:19:49Get him out of here.
01:19:53Well, are you okay?
01:19:57You're all right.
01:19:59You're all right now.
01:20:01You're all right now.
01:20:07Yeah, I think I'm dating.
01:20:09Hey, this is an order for now.
01:20:11Yeah, yeah.
01:20:13Let's go inside.
01:20:15Come on.
01:20:17Let's get you inside.
01:20:19Come in.
01:20:25Hi.
01:20:27Hi.
01:20:31Is that backup?
01:20:33Maybe.
01:20:37Come on in.
01:20:41This is so good.
01:20:43You did such a good job.
01:20:45There's something special.
01:20:47It was your day.
01:20:49Tom, it's perfect.
01:20:53I just want you
01:20:57to our first date.
01:20:59To our first date.
01:21:09I'm so proud of you.
01:21:11Proud of me?
01:21:13Mm-hmm.
01:21:17Yeah.
01:21:19It'll wake up to this every day.
01:21:27Goldie,
01:21:29are we kidding?
