Original subtitles

Agent Long. This is the one we talked about.

We got a full slate in Interrogation Room Four.

Based on your findings, we'll line up the rest of the week.

Now personally, I prefer that your reports be entered

before you leave tonight, so if that means staying late,

that means staying late.

Understood.

First one's waiting for you. Keep me posted.

Are you kidding me?

If that means staying late, that means staying late.

I'm seriously like one notch away from losing it

and throwing my badge at him.

Don't you dare leave me to fend for myself here, okay?

Besides, what else are you gonna do?

I don't know. Start a true crime podcast maybe.

Write a book?

That's very original, Boyer?

You know Harris is giving his books

away for free now, right, yeah?

He's tried to give me a copy like three times.

Well, I need the insurance for my daughter,

so they've got me on the hook.

I thought Keith had insurance through his job.

He's outta work right now. Let me see those.

CMI Corporation.

Three very suspicious deaths, all in the same week.

All members of the finance department.

A suicide, an overdose and a murder.

Shot in cold blood.

Close range. The photos are, nasty.

And we get to interview the suspected killer.

Lovely way to start the day.

After you.

Good morning.

I'm Special Agent Boyer. This is Special Agent Long.

We're here to ask you a few questions.

You boys better get on down here if you wanna catch

some fish before I catch them all.

Let me help you with some of that, Mr. Travis.

No, it's Gary and I got it.

Anthony, you need any help?

Nah, I'm good.

You boys should learn you don't need all that junk.

I used to catch fish with a shoestring and a bottle cap.

Why do you think I invited you?

I wanted you to teach us some of your old tricks

over the next couple of days.

Tricks, huh?

You know, I used to date an old gal that when we'd

go fishing, she'd lean out over the boat

into the water and try to catch fish.

Real weird.

Why would she do that?

I don't really know, but her name was Annette.

Annette, get it ?

Oh, isn't this great?

Just a buncha guys bonding on the lake.

No women around to pester us.

Maybe, uh, share a few old stories.

Right, Roger?

Hm?

Oh, I don't really talk when I'm on the lake

because it scares the fish away.

Actually, I told Katie I would slip away and

check in with her occasionally.

Not getting any service out here, though.

She'll be fine without you for a couple of days.

You know, once you get married,

trips like this become much more infrequent.

Aint that the truth?

You don't wanna go play on that slide?

Look, it looks so fun.

You're not gonna have any fun sitting here with me.

You should go play.

Mm.

You wanna come play Chase with us?

See?

That sounds fun. They wanna play with you.

What's your name?

Oh, he, uh, he doesn't do a whole lotta talking,

but his name is Drake, and he loves to play Chase.

Why doesn't he talk?

He's just, um, he's not ready yet.

I'm it. You can't catch me.

Oh, go get 'em!

Hello, what up?

Thanks for responding to my text and coming out here.

I just need you to sign this.

What is it?

It's the papers for you to sign over

parental rights for Drake.

It just makes it so that you won't ever like be held

accountable if he gets hurt, medical bills or anything.

Is that right?

Okay, but you know,

why this now?

Well, I, um, got a really good job.

Me and Drake are in a nice rental

We got insurance.

So I know that I'm not gonna ever need

any help in the future.

Okay, um.

So, like, he's talking and stuff now?

Well not yet.

Actually, the doctors don't know if he ever will,

so I'm preparing to get him all the help

that he needs, with therapy and stuff.

I, I mean but he's like really good

at sports, though, right?

He out here?

Is that what matters, Jamal?

If he's gonna be a pro athlete?

Then you might be interested in being his daddy?

Is that how it is?

Hey, hey, hey, chill out! Dang!

Come on now.

Listen, I was just asking a question, all right?

I swear, you still got that sharp tongue on you.

It's not like he has other boys or a man

in his life to teach him about sports.

So it's not his fault.

Okay.

He's more into toys and dinosaurs, cars.

Kid stuff.

Okay, okay, fine. I get it.

Sh, you aint gotta be whipping me about it.

Will you just sign, the papers?

Please.

Well, I gotta read over this stuff first, you know?

Well then start reading.

Why you in a rush?

Aw, come on, man.

Listen, let me just, you know, look over this and

I'll get back to you.

Maybe we can, uh, I don't know,

meet up again or something.

Are you sure about that?

You're not with some girl that'll be

mad about you seeing me twice?

What?

No.

It's just me.

Mm-hm.

Yeah, I don't want no psycho coming after me and my baby,

showing up at my work.

Jazz, there's nobody.

Okay.

I'll let you take your time to look over it

and, um, text me when it's signed,

and we'll, we'll decide where to meet.

The man came into our home.

He disconnected the WiFi,

and that's why none of the security videos are uploading.

The manufacture is trying to recover all the footage

from the devices that they can.

Whoever that man was, he was involved.

My son opened the safe for him, and

he stole the files from Dalton's work.

And that's what caused him to go over the edge.

Yeah, your story of the mystery man.

We're very familiar with it.

It, it's not a story. No, that's the truth.

It might be your truth, okay,

but there's another narrative that we have to consider.

You knew that your husband stashed those documents

stolen from CMI and put them in a safe.

You knew the code.

You knew that he'd been struggling with his depression

and that you stood to benefit

from his life insurance policy.

You disconnected the WiFi to take

the security cameras offline.

You convinced your son to lie.

And the kicker here.

These are your fingerprints all over the gun.

I don't know about you, Boyer, but I'd say

that's a lot pointing here at Mrs. Jacobs.

Have you been to my house?

Have you, have you seen the wall behind my husband's desk?

I, I was standing right there when it happened.

Yes, I, I, I picked up the gun and I put it on the desk.

What was I supposed to do, leave it on the ground?

I didn't want anyone else to get hurt!

Okay, okay, let's relax.

We're not here to litigate your case.

Our main focus is on the connection between Dalton

and his deceased coworkers at CMI.

Now we're both willing to assume

that your story about the tech guy is true.

You helping us today may uncover things that prove

your innocence, but you have to work with us.

Not fight us.

I, I wanna help you.

Okay.

And that's the last time I saw her.

I don't remember much else.

But her name was Dolly.

Roger, let's keep it clean for the young guys.

Not everyone spent 30 years working the streets.

All right, so it's a true story.

Yeah, right, I bet it is.

Hey would one of you guys mind

watching my phone real quick?

I need to head back up to the cabin for a minute.

What for?

The restroom.

We got trees all around here, Son.

Aint nobody gonna peek.

Yeah, but I'm not feeling too good.

I'll be right back. I'm just gonna head up for a minute.

I'll take it.

Don't you call Katie.

No, sir, wouldn't dream of it.

Oughta make him leave his phone here.

That's how you run when you're not feeling good?

Did you observe anything in Mr. Hamilton's behavior

that led you believe he was troubled

or going through a rough time?

He was my boss. How would I know anything like that?

You would see him every day at the office, correct?

Yeah.

And you would occasionally see him outside the office?

Okay, stop.

That's gross.

He was old and my boss, and that's like

really nasty actually .

His cellphone survived the fall, and we have it.

Last night was cray cray.

We should do it again sometime.

To which Mr. Hamilton replied to you with a winking emoji.

Any idea what that meant?

Will I get in trouble if I answer?

Or if I don't answer?

Because, um, I have anxiety attacks

and like right now I'm feeling like really shaky inside

and like I might pass out.

Okay, if you haven't done anything wrong,

you can't get in trouble, right?

I lied to people at work.

Pretended like he was a jerk

and acted like I hated him.

Really, I was sleeping with with so I lied then.

I was lying to the people at my job.

Okay.

Just take a deep breath.

In and out.

Please.

You're a real piece of work, you know that?

Your people said that I wouldn't need an attorney

because it was just questioning.

But, you know, this is starting to feel a little personal.

So I'd like to leave, thanks.

My time with the FBI is over, but

is this scary interrogation room not the best?

It's pretty cool, right? Being in a government office.

People wanted me to post stuff while was here,

so I figured ...

Oh yeah, totally.

They might love this too.

What is it?

That's what's left of a person

after they jump off a bridge and land on concrete.

You mean, that's ...

Yeah, that's him.

You're not a bad person.

Okay, it's not your fault.

Now, in your workplace interactions with Mr. Jacobs,

Mrs. Butler and Mr. Hamilton, did you notice anything

unusual that caught your attention?

Yes.

Okay, like what?

I mean, I couldn't see anything.

No, I couldn't, I couldn't tell.

I know you're nervous, but, um,

that's not a helpful answer.

So ...

Why are you doing this to me?

What?

You might have thought that coming here today

would be a great opportunity to get some cute selfies,

maybe play a little game,

but we're dealing with matters of life and death.

So why don't you put down your phone and help me?

Please, I, I just, I just, I think I need out.

I think I want out now.

I need out, I'm sorry. I need out, please, okay.

I just, I need out, please. I need out!

No no, no no, you don't understand! It's my fault!

Let me go. It's my fault, I'm sorry!

It was my fault, I'm sorry!

Can I get some help in here?

I'm sorry !

Do you have something you wanna share,

now that we're taking this seriously?

Can we get a janitor in here please?

You boys don't mind if I change right here, do you?

That sick fella's been in the john forever.

Seemed fine earlier.

He clogs it, he's unclogging it.

_ I bet he's on his phone.

Why would he have to keep going

to the bathroom to use his phone?

I'll let you figure that out.

Hm.

Oh.

Roger, I've got that, that DNA test paperwork.

You know, for the relative verification.

In the event, you know, you wanna know if,

maybe find out if we're, related.

Oh, okay.

I've been talking to Deborah about that.

You know, getting her thoughts and all.

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

I'll put it right here, you know,

just in case you decide, you wanna know.

Hey, feeling okay?

Oh yeah, I'm good.

Looking forward to getting back on the lake tomorrow.

Maybe we'll catch something.

Yeah, so what are you doing in there?

You checking in with Katie?

No, sir.

I thought I'd follow your advice and just

keep to the guys and the fish for a couple days.

Yeah.

Can you hit the lights?

Did I tell y'all

about the one-legged girl I met once?

Please stop. Come on, Roger.

Her name was Eileen.

All righty. Your nightlight's all plugged in.

You got Mr. Firebreath, your puppy blanket

and your black blanket.

Did I forget anything?

Hm.

All right, Mister.

Mama's gonna put energy

and love and light

and good vibes all over you.

So then, when you wake up,

all of those thoughts and words that you keep

bottled up inside will just explode out.

Yeah?

All right.

Baby, did you feel something?

Can you say Mama?

If you do I will scream and jump and be so excited.

All right.

I love you. Good night.

Mwa.

Love ya.

Anybody want some coffee?

I had a cup a couple hours ago. I'm wide awake.

While we're waiting for the fish to bite,

Logan, why don't you tell us how you and Katie met?

Um, sure, yes, sir.

I guess it started when I'd visit my grandmother

at the care center where Katie works.

We'd cross paths and say hello and stuff

and over time I just saw this tender heart in her.

The way she spoke to the residents with such kindness.

And my grandmother, man, she can be a lot, especially now.

Katie would always offer her so much patience.

And grace.

Eventually, I asked some of the other workers

if she was single and, when they said yes, I,

I took a few weeks to work up the courage

but eventually I asked her out.

Just kinda grew from there.

Hot nabbit.

I had one. I had one and it got away.

Musta been at least six pounds, maybe bigger.

You could tell that by that little pull on the line?

Little?

It nearly pulled me outta my chair and into the water.

Hey, something wrong?

I can't find the pink forms for CMI.

That's because they set up a new portal for us to use.

Yeah, I shredded all the pink forms

and I took them to a secure waste facility.

Should have asked me.

Can you show her the new portal?

Yeah, absolutely.

So go ahead and open your internet up.

What are you doing at my work?

I can't sign it.

Not yet.

Are you following me?

No.

No, no, but I do wanna talk to you about this.

He's my son, right?

All right, so, it's not okay for me

to just dump the responsibility all on you.

Oh.

You didn't seem to think it was a problem

for the last four years.

That don't mean that it's too late

for me to make it right.

Okay, I can't do this right now.

My boss is gone, and it's my responsibility

to keep this office running until he gets back.

Hm.

Wow.

Look at you.

Big time.

Tell you what, let's do dinner tonight.

Hey, Jazz, I got somebody on the phone for Mr. Travis.

Says the boss isn't answering his cell and it's urgent.

I'll text you. I'll see you tonight.

And, um, keep your phone on, all right?

I, w ...

Our practice is currently reviewing our protocols,

after the unfortunate situation with Ms. Butler.

But with any strong prescription comes a certain amount

of trust that lies within the patient to use as directed.

Overdoses, whether intentional or accidental,

are a risk we've dealt with in the medical community

since the advent of pharmaceuticals.

Thank you for your time today, Doctor.

Absolutely.

Thoughts?

I'm not seeing a correlation between the three.

Ironic timing?

Maybe.

I'm not ready to draw any conclusions yet.

Well we've got the corporate people

coming in this afternoon.

We'll drill into them, see what we hit.

You gonna talk to him about it?

About what?

Bathroom habits?

Come on, man. You know that aint what that is.

Around it all the time in college,

and 90% of them, they hooked on it.

Oh.

What, you think he's in the bathroom

with his phone watching ...

Uh, probably not just watching.

Oh come on, stop.

He's marrying my daughter. He's, he's joining the family.

Exactly, that's why you should talk to him.

I mean, what if Katie don't know?

What?

If there's a problem, I'm sure they've talked about it.

Okay, but what if they haven't?

If you do bring it up, please make sure I'm not around.

Look, I just don't think it's my job to,

to confront him on his personal struggles.

I mean, I barely know him.

He came here to, you know, to bond.

If not now, then when?

I miss anything?

No, sir, not a thing.

The corporation has implemented a new, intensive

workshop across all departments.

Which focuses on the importance

of mental health awareness.

As well as domestic conflict resolution

for employees that are required to navigate

high-stress corporate environments.

Our internal investigation is still ongoing,

but we'd be happy to share those results

with the bureau once they become available.

But to date we're seeing three completely

isolated tragedies that have shaken

the CMI family to its core.

Isolated, yeah.

As coincidental as it may seem to you,

in my time conducting investigations,

I've found that when a situation appears too coincidental,

it's usually because it is.

I hear you.

As I'm sure you're aware, our internal investigations team

is comprised of numerous former military

and FBI investigators.

With whom we have the utmost confidence.

If there is any correlation between these untimely deaths,

our team will uncover it.

Is that right?

Well, looks like we're not even needed on this.

We could just leave it to the private sector.

Look, we're willing to help any way we can.

But, sometimes bad things just happen.

Y'all have a good night.

Wonder how much those private security

investigators at CMI make per year.

Oh, so it's not just me?

No, it's not a podcast. It's a real job.

Are we all wrapped up, no loose ends?

What do you mean?

Did you see my email?

You two are being reassigned to the Milton Shepard case.

Orders came down from DC this morning.

We just started the CMI investigation yesterday.

Who's taking it over?

Nobody.

Just file anything that you've got that's outstanding,

and if there's probable cause for us to continue

the investigation, we'll get somebody else to do it.

Oh, um, and really great work with the whole thing.

Really good.

You're awesome. Keep up the good work.

Long?

This is messed up!

I know.

And you thought you was there for an interview?

Listen, I didn't know what was going on, okay?

I just looked up and everybody's staring .

You've always been the same.

I can so picture you doing that.

I've always been able to make you laugh too.

That's for sure.

But, uh, hopefully I been improving, doing things better.

I, uh, I thought you was gonna bring little man tonight,

so, I got him something.

Oh.

You did?

Yeah, it's just a toy car.

It says stuff when you push a button on top.

Just thought it could help him with his talking stuff?

Well, I'm ...

I didn't bring him because I didn't want you to think

I was trying to influence your decision about signing

by bringing him.

I don't wanna sign.

I wanna be in his life.

And I wanna be in yours again too.

No.

I'm not doing this.

I know you too well.

Change your mind by the time you get home.

Come on, those are old times, baby girl.

These are new times.

Baby girl?

Bringing that back too?

I got scared, when you told me he was

special and everything.

I wasn't ready, and I made some dumb choices.

I been trying to squeak by ever since.

Week by week.

Job to job.

You reaching out, handing me them papers?

It opened my eyes to what I wanted.

And what I need to do.

Well I'm not saying anything about

us getting back together.

But, if you wanna be a daddy to Drake,

I'm not gonna stop you.

Thank you.

Hey, Logan.

Meet me out on the deck when you're done in there.

Uh, yes, sir.

Come on over. Have a seat.

Thought we should have a chat about what's been going on.

With you slipping out all the time.

Oh, sorry if I've been an inconvenience to you all.

No, it's not that.

I have a pretty good idea what's going on.

And if you

have a problem you're battling,

or maybe you're not battling,

man to man.

You got a problem, you need to deal with it

before you get married.

Because once you get married, the struggles you have,

they don't just, magically disappear

because you got a ring on your finger.

Especially something like this.

I used to lead a men's group at our church.

Lotta guys

this is a big problem for.

But, you can overcome it.

You just gotta be honest.

Be willing to have accountability.

Katie know about it.

I'm not sure.

Are you willing to admit it's a problem?

Yes, I am.

Just,

with the wedding and everything coming up,

I thought I could, get it all outta my system,

be done with it.

But obviously that's not working.

Yeah, well, that one-last-time attitude is a,

a big red flag for addiction.

Look, I realize you're a young guy and maybe

you haven't had any harsh repercussions.

But when you join yourself with another person, my daughter,

you're gonna affect her life too.

I don't want Katie to deal with this.

Protecting the ones you love

is a strong motivator to overcome.

But, uh, it's not always enough.

- You ever read James Four: - Seven?

Bible verse.

I'd have to look it up.

It says, Submit to God, resist the devil and he will flee.

It's that first part's that so important.

Submit yourself to Him, because without Him

you can't do anything.

Yeah, you can clean yourself up for a while,

but if you don't trust Him you'll eventually go back

to that thing that you think's giving you comfort.

But if you submit yourself to Him,

He'll help fight that battle for you.

It's good advice.

Thank you.

Really.

So what are you gonna do?

You gonna take action?

Yes.

Absolutely.

I'm gonna go in there right now and I'm gonna delete

all my gambling apps, erase the accounts, and tomorrow,

Katie and I are gonna have a serious talk.

Wait, wait, wait, you ...

Did you just say gambling apps, like poker?

Sports betting.

Games never stop, even for a fishing trip.

So you were watching sports, on your phone?

Right.

Did you think I was playing like casino games or something?

I don't touch those.

Yeah, um, something like that.

Thanks for the talk.

Good night.

Good night.

Huh.

Start your engine.

Let's go racing.

Start your engine.

Buddy, I told you not to do that

to Mama when she's sleeping, right?

You freak me out.

You like your new toy?

Oh.

Hey, um, hey where can I find a towel?

I'm about to hop in the shower.

There in the cabinet, in the bathroom.

All right. Well you know there's room for one more.

You off?

Yep, yep.

Thanks for inviting me.

I had a great time.

I appreciate you hearing me out.

Anthony, it was cool getting to know you, man.

You too, man.

Drive safe.

All right, will do.

Well, I guess I'm off.

It was a lotta fun, even if we didn't catch much.

Well, fishing is just as much about camaraderie

as it is about catching things.

Yes it is.

Uh, I been thinking about the blood work.

And, as much as I hate needles, I

figure I can get that done.

Thank you.

I appreciate that.

And I'll pray you get a nice nurse

because I hate needles too.

Did I tell y'all about the gal I used to date,

last name was Needles?

Save it. Save it for next time.

All right, y'all, ya'll drive safe.

It was a good trip.

Yeah. It was a great trip.

Glad you could make it.

Yeah, me too.

Let's head on out.

What is it?

The tech guy that Melanie Jacobs claimed was in her home?

Mm-hm.

The mystery man.

They were able to retrieve the recordings.

That's cute.

You put Travis up to this?

No, this is real. This is what they sent me.

Come on. This is not real.

Tell me you're joking.

He's home. He is home, lord of the manor.

King of the castle.

Where's the welcoming party?

What did you do?

I did something?

You, you did this on purpose, didn't you?

Payback for everything I put you through!

What are you talking about? I went fishing.

Logan called off the engagement!

He said he had a big talk with you

and you convinced him to do it!

No, that's not even accurate.

I was trying to help.

Help? Ha!

Help, right.

Please do me a favor and never try and help me again.

I am so done with you guys.
