How are things on the West Coast?

I hear you're moving real fine.

You might want to take the lens cap off there, Spielberg. All right, I'm getting

it. Just a sec.

Camera's up at the lane. Let me just show you the house.

No, no, no, no, no, no. I got it. Okay. You ready now? Yes. Let's go.

Voila.

Oh, my God.

What? What?

You've got to be kidding me.

The guys back home are never going to believe this.

Right, man. This place is...

Oh, you didn't think I'd make it?

Nah, man, we all knew you'd make it, but this... Dude, you have no idea the tale

that comes through humans.

Did they all come here for you? No, jackass. They come here for Brett. But

get to Brett, they gotta go through me. You know what I mean?

Brett, we gotta roll. Don't be late for the studio.

Studio owns me.

House is yours. Enjoy.

Fair enough.

Let's go check out my house, shall we?

Okay, here we go. Check it out, ladies.

Here it is. Fred Chandler's bedroom.

I'm going to snag these sheets, and I'm going to sell them on eBay.

Head down here.

It's wardrobe.

Probably cost more than my life.

Check this.

Look at that view from the bathroom.

You can check out the ways while you unload.

Looks like somebody left the tub on for me here.

Oh, my God.

Oh, my God.

Hey, hey, hey.

Was delivered anonymously about two hours ago. Do we know if it's for real?

an actor.

He might have been playing a joke on his friend. And I checked. There haven't

been any emergency phone calls from his house.

Data coding on the tape says it was shot six days ago. I mean, that's plenty of

time to cover something up.

Brett Chandler's a pretty big star. We better know what's up before we go after

someone like him.

And what about the girl?

Charlie's working on it. He thinks he can pull a clean image off the tape.

Really? How?

His face is completely distorted.

Actually, it's just being refracted.

It's the same as when we look at a pencil through a glass of water.

It's complicated by multiple refractions, motion. Think of a gumball

packed with hundreds of gumballs. Imagine striking it with a sledgehammer.

The resulting chaos might seem random. It's not. The path and position of each

and every gumball is the result of the specific forces acting on it.

Gravity, velocity, momentum, mass. In fact, it's conceivable that were we to

measure and quantify each of these forces, we could use the end position of

gumballs to completely reconstruct the original gumball machine with each

gumball placed exactly where it started.

And it's the same with this image here. See, it's being scattered by the forces

of refraction. But by using Snell's law, a dash of goose -henshin shifts, and a

motion tracking algorithm...

Ooh, that's freaky.

Yeah, the techs are already running it through the facial recognition software.

Look who's back.

I emptied out my whole desk.

Well, you guys don't waste any time around here, huh?

And they told us to send everything down to Quantico.

Yeah, I know. I could have figured.

How are you feeling?

You look a lot better than last time we saw you. No permanent damage.

At least not that I know of.

I guess they just want me to sit tight here until I'm reassigned, so...

You gonna go say something?

Not sure what they're saying.

Hey, we got a match.

That's her.

Andrea Barton.

Oh.

Looks like we've got two matchers. That's a Jane Doe. She's in the morgue.

I guess that answers the question whether the video was real or not.

I was wondering why I haven't seen Andrea in a while. What a shame.

Do you have any information on next of kin, someone you might contact?

I'd have to check her lease.

It's one of these.

Does Andrea have a roommate?

No, she lived alone.

Is there a back door? There's the window.

That was her driving the car. What do you mean? Who?

Oh, that girl.

Andrea Barton.

That's the

girl you said

driving the car?

Could be quite a trick. She's been here for three days. Someone had dumped her

body in Runyon Canyon.

Oh, maybe she had a sister.

Now... Spoke to the mother back in Tucson. Andrea's an only child.

Well, I haven't done the cut yet. We're pretty backed up, but I could give you

some interesting preliminaries.

COD looks like drowning, but it wasn't accidental.

The bruising on her neck and shoulders suggest she was held under.

Struggled.

Her mother said she moved out here to be an actress.

She wanted it pretty badly.

Why do you say that? She said work done.

Breast augmentation, chin work for sure.

A little bit of liposuction.

Lipo? She's barely 100 pounds.

Yeah, I think it's about time somebody paid our movie star a visit.

Thanks for letting me team up with you on this one, Liz.

Yeah.

Seems like David wants nothing to do with me right now.

Ah, what do you expect?

Come on, you're a good guy, Colby, but you've lied to him for two years.

I lied to you, too.

Ah, but only for six months.

I'm less invested.

I thought teaming up wasn't my idea. It was Don.

Oh, really?

So you can keep an eye on me?

Look, out on the field, I'm just like any other agent, okay?

Right. Except you're sleeping with the boss.

Granger, I didn't partner with you so I could report on you.

You got it?

Sure.

Hey, guys, we're looking for Brett, agents Granger and Warner.

Your agents?

What agents are you with?

ICM, CIA?

FBI.

Cool. I don't know if you're signing new clients, but I got a showcase tomorrow

night. Yeah, where's Brett? Is he in here?

Yeah, yeah, he's here.

He's out back.

What about my showcase?

Wouldn't miss it.

Brett Chandler.

Yeah.

Beds?

Really?

I'm playing a DEA agent in my next film. Maybe I could pick your brains.

Why are you here?

Who are you?

Logan Oliver. I handle Brett's security.

Logan keeps me out of trouble.

Josh Ryan. He usually gets me into it.

Hey, you know, if you ever want to come up here and hang out, you definitely

make the cut.

You know three live here? Yeah.

Take a look at this.

Is that?

That's my bathroom.

What the hell is this?

Oh, that's what we were hoping you could tell us.

It's got to be a fake or something.

She's down at the morgue.

Seems pretty real to me.

This is what she looked like when she was alive.

You guys know her?

Never seen her.

No.

Swear to God.

A lot of people come and go here, you know? Got an open -door policy.

Is that smart, given how famous you are?

I saw Brian would have done it. Who's Brian?

My brother.

We all moved out here together from Baltimore.

Flat broke.

Dreams of being big stars.

He was killed in the carjacking six months after we got here.

So this is somehow for him?

Everything's for him.

And this would have been his way, you know? Share the wealth.

What about Pete or T?

That's his name, right? The friend of yours who shot this video?

Pete took that?

Pete is a buddy we grew up with. He was out visiting a week or so ago.

Okay, so where's he now? He split kind of sudden.

I guess now we know why.

Look, I feel awful about this. I mean, my house, this girl, whatever you guys

need, open -door policy applies to you two.

You don't mind if I watch a little bit? See how it's done?

Pick our brains?

It'd be awesome research.

Hi.

Hi.

Charlie gave me a key so that I'm not always making you get up to answer the

door for me.

Well, I don't mind getting up.

Hey. Hi, Charlie.

Hi. What are you doing?

I'm cleaning the fish tank.

Oh. He's also already trimmed the rose bushes, straightened the attic, and

cleaned out the garage.

If this keeps up, we're liable to have a new roof on the house by morning.

Okay, so I will ask again.

What are you doing?

You know that old friendship math paper that I wrote when I was 12?

Sure.

Mathematical analysis of friendship dynamics.

I sent it off to a couple of journals to see if there was any interest in

publishing.

There was.

Great interest, in fact.

Well, that's great.

I mean, why aren't you working on it?

In a word, procrastination.

Why? What's wrong?

You know, I sat down to update it and expand it. I'd like it to be a little

relevant.

But it's just kind of not coming to me.

Well, I mean, I read the article, Charlie. I think it's great. You just

sit down and actually force yourself to work on it. You know what?

I think I can tell Don the exact size of the killer he's looking for.

How are you going to do that?

Displacement. Check it out. Look what happens to this water level when I

this rock.

Yeah, well, of course, Charlie. The level drops.

By an amount exactly equal to the volume of the rock.

See, Don thinks the killer was in the tub with the girl when she was killed.

So when the killer climbed out, the water level fell.

By a very specific amount.

I don't see any new clues on the video.

How about the killer's shot?

I got nothing.

Colby contacted his parents in Maryland. I got a list of other friends he might

be staying with.

You put Colby on the case?

Yeah, you know, I mean, until he's re -defined, I need another agent.

He must be looking at a pretty prime post.

I mean, after what he did, he's considered a hero.

Have a look at this.

These are photos of the victim, Andrea Barton. We gathered them from her

apartment.

Wow, I wouldn't have even recognized her.

Yeah, yeah, she's completely transformed herself.

The question is why.

Well, she's at an impressionable age.

Broken home, maybe.

Dysfunctional family.

Surgery's going to stem from a desire to change who she really is.

Maybe. Maybe she's trying to hide from something in the past.

What about the surgeon?

The guy's name is Dr.

Jacobson. I found his card in her desk.

Check him out? Yeah.

Wow. Wow.

Yeah, wow.

Measured against my recent accommodations, the space station, and

Hermitage. Oh, it's a little excessive.

Excessive by any means, Larry, but it's also quite awesome.

It's emptiness itself.

It tempts me not.

Oh, I may have to take back a portion of what I just said.

Of what, the tub?

Nothing like this at the monastery, and you know how I love a good soak.

That's right about where she died.

That's unpleasant.

Hey, you guys with the FBI?

Yeah, hi.

I'm Charles S., and this is Lawrence Flanhart.

You guys don't look like FBI agents.

I'm actually a math professor. Dr. Flanhart is a physicist.

Currently on sabbatical.

Well, so you're not with the FBI.

Yeah, we are consultants for the FBI.

What, solving crimes with math?

No offense, but how's that supposed to work?

No offense taken.

In this case, we're trying to determine the basic parameters of the killer's

body size using a method called submerged volume.

See, look. In this picture, we can see that the final water level in the tub is

just right about here.

See, it's establishing a high water level. That's where things really get

complicated. Now, we do know from the video.

That the towel was hanging in just such a way that its lowest edge was just

below the rim of the tub. And the towel's edge is wet. So we have to

for the towel's absorbency, evaporation, the bubbles. But we do know that at

some point, the minimum level of the water was just about here. It's high

because someone else was in this water. The killer. Yeah. So if we measure the

volume of the water between these two lines, we can calculate the killer's

size.

Sounds like something out of a movie.

Only not as cool.

You're asking me the whys of cosmetic surgery?

Women have a million reasons.

And honestly, it isn't the whys that bought my Bentley.

Yeah, but we don't want to know about all your patients, doctor.

Okay, just this one right here.

Who is it? She's your patient and you don't know who she is?

No, I mean which one of the twins?

Andrea or Tracy?

Andrea Barton was an only child.

Well, so was Tracy Meade, but I cut them to be identical.

They look exactly the same, huh? Yeah, they were already similar to begin with

and after the surgeries.

It turns out actually our victim is this girl right here, Tracy Meade.

Well, how'd that happen?

Knees don't have fingerprints in the system.

And Andrea was the only one to get a new license since the surgery.

So we ran facial recognition. Hers was the photo to pop.

Oh, billing records indicate neither of the girls paid for their work.

It was that costs were covered by a third party.

Miss, uh, Leslie Dennis.

Leslie Dennis, the Melrose madam?

Oh, come on. You guys don't ever browse the trashy gossip website?

She's investigated for tax evasion tied to running an escort service.

So why'd she pay to have him look alike?

I mean, judging from how many guys have fantasies about being twins, that way it

makes sense.

All right, well, talk to him. See if you can connect either of them to Brett

Chandler. All right.

Thanks. Hey, David.

Hey, man, you haven't really given me a chance yet to say thanks.

For what?

Saved my life, man.

Goes with the job.

David, come on. I don't want there to be all this weirdness, you know?

What do you mean?

Two years not knowing who your best friend really is?

What's weird about that?

You don't think I didn't want to tell you that I was working undercover?

I couldn't tell you, David. You get that, right?

Yeah, man, I get it.

And I respect it.

Gotta get to work.

Have we allowed for evaporation?

Evaporation?

Check. Hi, Larry.

Hey. Hey, Charlie.

Hey, hey. I just came to see how you're working. Don't.

Don't say it. Okay.

You don't want me to. I don't.

Why am I? What have we here? My Friendship Dynamics work is going to be

published. If he ever writes it.

Well, I mean, speaking frankly here, Charles, I did find some of the math.

A trifle subjective.

Your random Apollonian network in particular.

Well, actually, Larry, it goes deeper than Apollonian networks. The numbers

aren't transcending.

You know, they're not finding the humanity.

You can't always find transcendency in human connection.

It's similar to the bonds between atoms.

I mean, some are eternal and able to change the nature of those atoms they

Others are fleeting, insubstantial, potentially...

combustible, even catastrophic.

Food for thought.

Bon appetit.

Private property. You have no right to be back here.

Yeah, we rung the bell. Nobody answered. And Stein said, come around back.

I love that. It's better. Not for the federal government.

Oh, Miss Dennis.

We're here to see about one of your girls, Tracy Meade.

You know where she is? She hasn't been around for days.

She's in the county morgue.

Oh, my God.

I've been worried sick about her, but I didn't think... What about Andrea

Barton? What about her?

Got away from you once already.

Thought I should make it easier for you this time.

That's cute.

Why'd you run before?

I didn't know who you were.

Look, a lot of guys have twisted fantasies about twins.

What if some freak has a fantasy about killing a pair?

So you knew Tracy was dead?

I didn't know. Tracy never went anywhere without telling me. When she

disappeared, I knew something was wrong.

Well, Tracy, you ever find yourself over at Brett Chandler's mansion?

Yeah, we were regulars there.

Tracy started going even when we weren't requested.

I think she was starstruck.

Really? Because we showed your photograph to Brett and all his friends,

of them knew who you were.

I'm Brenton's friend's wife.

Brett's manager, Mark.

Agent Don Epps, my boss. Appreciate you showing us around the office. It's going

to be a huge help on my next role.

It's our pleasure. We're all big fans around here.

What do you think, Colby? Where should we start all this?

I was thinking maybe interrogation.

Follow me, guys.

Oh, man!

It's real!

I love it!

So you sweat out to confessions, huh?

Yeah, something like that.

So, listen here. We know you guys lied to us.

Wait, hold on a minute. What are you talking about? The three of you guys all

said that you didn't know this girl. We happen to know that that's not true.

Okay, busted.

Well, we're going to admit to the FBI we had a bunch of hookers up at the place.

We got a little bit freaked out. We're sorry.

Oh, yeah? Well, that's it, huh?

Hey, Don.

Oh, hey, Charlie.

You guys met?

Yeah. Math detective.

How are the calculations going, Professor? Did you find the killer yet?

a matter of fact, my measurements yielded a net water displacement of 89

.6 liters. Now, that translates to a killer who's well above average in size.

What are you, Logan? Like 6 '4", 210, 215?

That fits perfectly within the boundaries of my results.

Well, why don't you take these guys out and let me have a little chat with Logan

then, huh?

I'm kind of a joke.

No, we're not going anywhere.

Yeah, you are. Let's go, guys, the three of you.

Okay, I was in that tub with her, but I didn't have anything to do with her

death. Well, when she turned you down, she was hot for bread, and you got

Tracy wasn't into bread, right?

She was into me.

We had a thing.

It was serious, too, you know, for real.

She was alive when I got out of that tub. So who killed her?

I don't know.

Not for sure.

Not for sure.

Don't say another word, Logan. What do you think you're doing? Just talk to our

attorney. This interview is over. Let's go.

Hey, listen. So this is how the FBI works these days? You dupe these guys

coming down here, then you ambush them? Nothing Logan said in there is

admissible. I don't think that's really for you to decide now, is it? Look, my

client has a movie opening in three weeks. If you ruin his reputation by

dragging him into some sloppy murder investigation, you could cost a lot of

people a lot of money. Let me tell you something. I don't care about that,

I don't care when I owe her about that. What I care about is the dead girl in

your client's house. Now, if any of them had anything to do with it, I'm going

to be coming after them, okay?

Now, do it when you have an arrest warrant, Agent Epps. Until then, stay

hell away from them.

I mean, he definitely knew more.

He would have said, too, you know?

Yeah, well, at least we know we're looking in the right direction now.

I love that manager guy saying we're dragging the kid into a sloppy

investigation. Forget about the manager.

Brett Chandler's his cash cow, and he'll do anything he can to keep the money

from being turned off.

How was Colby? He did fine. Yeah?

Focused?

Yeah, I said he did fine.

What if you want more talk to him yourself?

What? Don.

It's hard enough as it is getting respect out there when they all know

sleeping together.

Clay, you want me to play right into their assumptions? Thanks. I appreciate

help.

Agent Warner?

Logan Oliver, look, I need to talk to you, but if I say anything, everything

will come apart.

Okay, Logan, calm down.

What do you mean, what will come apart?

Okay, listen to me. I'm coming to the house right now to get you, okay?

Look, I'm not home. I'm in my car at the turnout at Brenner Park.

It's all just gone too far, you know?

Okay, well, just stay where you are. I'll be there in a few minutes.

You sure this is where he said he'd be? Yes.

He must have had second thoughts.

Maybe he went home. Whoa, whoa, here we go. Hey.

Be conscious.

Done.

Single shot, like you saw, pretty much straight on, through and through to the

left hand.

So he saw the gun and probably raised his hands up as a shield.

Yeah, a lot of good it did, huh?

So just out of curiosity, partner.

How come you didn't call me when Logan called you?

Because I was with Don.

Hey, let's find out where Brett and Josh were tonight.

Yeah, I think that's going to be tough. I mean, after today, there's no way

their handlers are going to let us near them. Wait a second.

Logan lived in Brett's house, right?

And that was his legal address now. He's the victim of a homicide.

We got a warrant to search his possessions. That'll get you in the

Good thinking.

No way, agents. Get the hell out of here. I got a warrant.

You have no decency at all, do you? You got to do this now with all we're going

through?

All right, this limits you to Logan's personal area. That means nowhere

the guest quarters.

So damn messed up.

Sorry for your loss, Brett.

Four years ago, my brother's killed. Now this?

What the hell's going on?

Hey, where were you last night, Brett?

I know you have to ask.

I was here.

Me and Josh.

Is there someone around who can corroborate that?

I don't think so. It's pretty quiet.

Of course, not the circus again down there.

I shouldn't even be up here, Mark. We'd freak out if you knew I was talking to

you guys.

I should get back down.

Is any of that real?

Real good acting.

Liz, why don't you come take a look at this?

What? Do I really want to see?

Logan had these huge data files that it looks like he was emailing to a

lovetoloveatmelrosemadam .com.

Yeah, love to love gotta be Tracy.

Not too big a leap.

Just wanted to know what it was he was sending her.

Hey, I really appreciate you taking a look at this. Hope we're not ruining

breakfast. No problem. Hey, man.

That's really good seeing you again, man.

Yeah, thanks.

Charlie was really worried about you for a while. We all were.

Yeah, but you're back here, and you're a hero, man, and it's all good.

Well, I don't know about this hero stuff.

Hey, hey, there you are, that Kobe.

Hi. It's good to see you. I mean it.

I can't tell you how happy I was to find out that you're still one of the, you

know, the good guys.

Welcome back.

Let's see.

Here are the data files.

Well, they're MPEG -1 media files transcoded from MPEG -2. What does that

They're audiovisual files. That's how they code DVDs.

He was emailing his girlfriend a movie?

There was a time when you took a girl out to a movie. Or you rented a VHS and

stayed home and watched it, but now you email movies?

Where's the romance in this? This movie's called Breaker's Edge.

I've seen ads for this, but it's not out yet. Well, if it's not,

I'm just going to get it. Well, pirated DVDs are a big industry. I mean, the FBI

has a whole section devoted to that. Well, let's see if it's got a watermark.

Studios sometimes put a digital tag in the coating.

The idea being that if a pirated DVD shows up, it can be traced back to its

source.

It was issued to Brett Chandler.

What makes you think I know anything about DVD pirating?

I'll bet nothing goes on in this place that you don't get a percentage of.

Brett Chandler got pre -releases of all the big movies.

That's the perk of being a star.

And Logan was emailing them to Tracy.

What we want to know is what Tracy was doing with them.

I run a legal dating service.

What the girls do with their own time is their business.

Mr. Dennis, how deep do you want us to dig in? Right now your dating service is

not our concern, but we can make it our concern.

Or we could get a warrant for your web server.

I'm sure there's a lot of exciting stuff at MelroseMadam .com.

All we want is a name.

Two names.

Kevin and Bryce Lee.

They run a club in Hollywood called Bedouin.

But don't let them know it came from me.

We'll be real discreet.

It's hard to believe people line up to get into this place. Lots more get lined

up to be turned away.

I never say I don't take you to the hottest places.

Excuse me.

FBI? We're looking for Kevin or Bryce Lee.

Hey, I noticed you still haven't cleared things up with Colby yet.

How long are you going to leave him on the hook?

For hours we logged on stakeouts.

Stuff I told that guy, I trusted him.

Yeah, we were all fooled, David. He was looking for a mole in the FBI.

I mean, he was really investigating all of us. That doesn't bother you at all?

Honestly.

A little bit weird, right?

Look at the guys taking alcohol out instead of bringing it in.

Hmm.

Mario says you want to talk to me?

Hey, maybe you're the one who should be talking to us.

Go ahead and put your hands behind your back.

Go, David!

Think about it!

Bet you want to wind up like your brother out here!

Okay!

We just talked to the hospital.

What'd they say? How's my brother?

I think we're going to ask you a few questions first.

And maybe afterward we'll get around to talking about your brother.

You know either of them?

You were doing business with both of them and now they're dead.

Both? No.

I don't know nothing about that.

Of course you don't. Never even seen that guy before.

Yeah? What about her?

If you want to know about your brother or not.

How'd the deal work?

Leslie's girls, they're always ending up in the homes of movie stars, producers,

directors, right?

So we had a standing arrangement. Any girl who could snag me an unreleased

movie, there'd be five grand waiting for her. And how many movies did she get

for you?

Ten, maybe twelve in the last six months.

She was my big earner.

Because she was sleeping with one of the guys? Because she had leverage.

I don't know, maybe Brett Chandler was gay or something. She didn't tell me.

But she had dirt of some kind. She knew how to use it.

Blackmail. Right.

And Logan said to Liz that if he talked, everything would, quote, come apart.

Whatever Tracy knew, he knew as well.

Yeah, see, what bothers me, though, is that Tracy's been apparently

Logan for months, right? DVDs in exchange for a silent. But then she's

murdered. Yeah, you know, part of game theory is risk and response analysis.

It's like when a jackal is circling a lion in her cub.

The jackal presents a risk, but as long as the jackal stalks at a distance, the

risk he presents is low, so the lion's probably going to tolerate him. On the

other hand, if the jackal comes too close, he crosses the line, and the risk

presents becomes unacceptable to the lion. The lion's response will probably

low.

Tracy demanding DVDs seems like a low -risk situation to me, so something must

have changed.

It's basic game theory again. I could walk you through it. All right. I'll

in with you later.

Hey, Don. We got the kid who shot the video. Pete Sears. He was at a friend's

house. All right, good.

Listen, I swear, I got out of that house a few hours after filming that. Oh,

yeah? Why?

Why?

Well, there was a dead girl in the bathtub.

And Josh and Logan said that they didn't want to tell anybody, not even Brett.

They just wanted to get rid of her so no one would know.

What, they just let you leave with the video?

No, um, they pretended to erase it.

You know, I kind of played along there, you know?

And then all week, I'm watching the news and nothing's happened, so I feel like

I need to say something, I send the tape to you guys.

Listen, those aren't the same guys that I grew up with, right?

They've changed.

Just so you know, it hasn't escaped me that you're still not working on your

paper. Nothing gets past you, does it?

Hey, Charlie, how do we know this killer is going to play according to your

rules? We don't.

Not exactly, but game theory gives us a model. It allows us to look at each

player in terms of strategy.

The idea is that each player works to maximize their own return.

What's the best way to exploit the secret? What's the best strategy to

it? And at what point does it make more sense for me to kill you rather than pay

you off?

Hey, Charlie, I'm looking for this box of sprinkler parts. Now, I know you

them. Put them here in the garage. Did you see them?

I put them over there. Where?

Oh, they're by the hoses.

Charlie, clean out the garage. Now I can't find a damn thing.

Something's bothering you.

Yeah.

This model... You know, Tracy was killed, but the threat she posed

What do you mean?

Well, you know that analogy I gave about the lions and the jackal?

Tracy might be dead, but the model is saying that the jackal is still out

Sounds like a Raymond Chandler novel, huh?

Murder, blackmail, movie stars eating out the evil twins.

Wait a minute, Alan. I think you just said it.

Said what? What did I say? The twins.

Charlie, we confused these girls before, right? Right. What if we're doing the

same thing right now?

How about you plug in Andrea Barton instead of Tracy Mead?

That's it.

He's a missing piece.

I was wondering when you'd be back.

Love to love. That's your email address, isn't it?

I'm not sure why you're asking me. You obviously already know. We also know

you are the blackmailer, not Tracy.

What is your leverage on Brett Chandler? What's your big secret?

What's worth to you?

Look, you're not really in a position to deal here.

I'm exactly in a position to deal.

I can help you catch a killer. That really depends on what you're doing.

How about you tell us how you found out?

Logan told Tracy something about Brett.

Pillow talk, probably.

Tracy couldn't wait to tell me. She was really into the twins thing.

Thought it made us best friends.

Some friend. I didn't even know Tracy before the surgeries.

Okay, we were similar types, so Leslie put us together.

I saw an opportunity.

And it doesn't bother you that your opportunity got Tracy killed? Like I

it's not like she was my real sister.

I'm getting bored.

You want the information I have?

Guarantee I'm not charged with the blackmail. You tell us, or I'm going to

guarantee you're charged as an accessory to murder as well as blackmail.

What good is the secret if you can't share it anyway?

You know about Brett's brother, Brian?

He was killed shortly after he arrived here in L .A., carjacking. That's the

story Brett told the police.

It isn't the real story.

I didn't know you were here.

What? What is it?

The secret's out, Brett.

We know you killed your brother.

Brian was killed in a botched carjacking. Check with police.

Well, I checked the LAPD file.

The funny thing is, the only witnesses to the shooting were you, Josh, and

Logan. And all three of you guys gave the same account.

And I don't mean that your statements were consistent. They were identical.

So? So there's always some variation between witness testimony.

Unless the witnesses happened to rehearse before the police showed up.

Look, you gotta know I never would have hurt Brian.

Ever. I loved him.

Then why don't you start showing him the respect he deserves?

Tell the truth. Stop acting.

It was a dumb drunken accident.

I had just landed my first role.

We were messing around in a parking lot after celebrating in a bar.

I was using the gun as a prop, acting out my part.

It went off.

I'm glad it's out.

I am.

They can't hold it over me anymore.

Who? My guys.

My boys.

Why do you think I let them live in my house, drive my cars, and spend my

If I'd cut them off, it wouldn't have been ten minutes before they sold me out

to the tabloids.

That's what Logan meant when he said that everything would come apart.

Well, the thing is, Brett, the three of you had the motive to kill.

But with Logan dead, that leaves just you and Josh.

No, Mark Green knew, too.

And Josh was with me when Logan was shot, so...

a bitch. You killed Logan? Hey, hang on.

I'll turn him off.

Don't come any closer. All right? Now stay back.

Where do you think you're going to go, Mark?

Let go.

I got nothing left to lose. I'll kill her, I swear. And then what do you think

is going to happen?

Drop it!

Right?

Yeah, fine.

Good job, you guys.

I kind of doubt it's what the ADIC had in mind when he told me to sit tight,

though. The manager's not talking.

We've got his gun. It's a ballistical time to Logan's murder.

Also, the U .S. attorney hopes to leverage him for a confession on Tracy,

Brett's on the hook for his brother's death, but as far as the blackmail goes,

he didn't know. Logan and Green kept it from him, so... Just to protect their

ends, huh?

Look, this is from the director's office.

I wouldn't be surprised if you could pick wherever you wanted to go next.

Colby and I were pretty tight.

Everything went down and he looked dirty.

I believed it.

Is that what's bothering you? You feel guilty?

Maybe just pros who aren't that tight, too.

To begin with.

Come on. You don't really believe in it.

Okay, if you guys are ready, let's go now, okay?

Hey, far well.

Larry has invited us to have dinner at the monastery.

Oh, that sounds different. It's our monthly open house. I just thought it

break down some of the mystique concerning my residency there. In other

she's tired of our stupid questions and figured it would be better for us to

take a look ourselves.

If you're free, you're welcome to join us. Yeah.

Come on, it sounds like fun.

I tell you, prior to his complete nervous breakdown, Brother Michael ran a

successful restaurant right here in town.

We'd love to go.

Right?

That's what she said.

Okay. I'll see what's taking Charlie so long.

Charlie, are you ready to go?

Oh.

Are you writing?

No, the block's gone. I got it now.

What changed?

My observation of Brett Chandler and his friends or Colby coming back or could

have even been you and Larry, but I know what I want to say about friendship

now. I know what goes along with the math.

Good.

I'm glad to hear it
