(soft pensive music)

(elevator dinging)

(soft pensive music)

- 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.

(soft pensive music)

- 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.

- (sighs) And we get to
interview the suspected killer.

Lovely way to start the day.

- After you.

(Boyer sighing)

(door beeping)

- Good morning.

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

We're here to ask you a few
questions.

(soft dramatic music)

(birds singing)

- You boys better get on
down here if you wanna catch

some fish before I catch them
all.

(birds singing)

- 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 (laughs)?

- 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?

(birds singing)

(children chattering)

- 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.

(Jasmine gasping)

- Oh, go get 'em!

(Jasmine laughing)

(children chattering)

(children laughing)

- 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.

(Jamal chuckling)

(soft pensive music)

- 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.

(soft pensive music)

- I, I wanna help you.

- Okay.

(soft pensive music)

(papers shifting)

(water lapping)

- And that's the last time I saw
her.

I don't remember much else.

But her name was Dolly.

(group laughing)

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

Not everyone spent 30
years working the streets.

- [Roger] 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.

(birds singing)

- Oughta make him leave his
phone here.

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

(birds singing)

(siren blaring in distance)

- Did you observe anything
in Mr. Hamilton's behavior

that led you believe he was
troubled

or going through a rough time?

(dramatic music)

- 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 (scoffs).

- 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.

(gentle piano music)

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.

(soft pensive music)

- 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?

(soft pensive music)

(Kela breathing deeply)

- 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 (cries)!

- Do you have something you
wanna share,

now that we're taking this
seriously?

(Kela retching)

Can we get a janitor in here
please?

(Kela retching)

(birds calling in distance)

- 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.

(toilet flushing)

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.

(gentle piano music)

(soft pensive music)

Can you hit the lights?

(switch clicking)

- [Roger] Did I tell y'all

about the one-legged girl I met
once?

- [Gary] Please stop. Come on,
Roger.

- [Roger] Her name was Eileen.

(others groaning)

(dog barking)

- All righty. Your
nightlight's all plugged in.

You got Mr. Firebreath, your
puppy blanket

and your black blanket.

(dog barking)

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?

(dog barking)

All right.

(Jasmine sighing)

(Jasmine inhaling)

(soft pensive music)

(Jasmine breathing rhythmically)

Baby, did you feel something?

Can you say Mama?

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

(dog barking)

(soft pensive music)

All right.

I love you. Good night.

Mwa.

Love ya.

(soft pensive music)

(light clicking)

(gentle music)

(birds calling)

(gentle music)

(birds singing)

- Anybody want some coffee?

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

(birds calling)

- 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.

(reel spinning)

- 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.

(birds singing)

(door opening)

- 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.

(bell dinging)

- 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.

(soft pensive music)

(Jasmine sighing)

- 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 ...

(soft pensive music)

- 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.

(footsteps receding)

(door opening)

- 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.

(papers shifting)

(birds singing)

(water lapping)

- 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?

(birds singing)

- I miss anything?

- No, sir, not a thing.

(birds calling)

- 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.

(traffic passing)

- 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 sighing)

- Long?

- This is messed up!

- I know.

(Jasmine laughing)

- 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 (laughs).

(Jasmine laughing)

- 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.

(gentle piano music)

And I wanna be in yours again
too.

(gentle piano music)

- 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?

(Jamal sighing)

- 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.

(crickets chirping)

- Thank you.

(gentle music)

(Roger snoring)

(tapping on door)

- Hey, Logan.

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

- [Logan] Uh, yes, sir.

(Gary exhaling)

- Come on over. Have a seat.

(ducks quacking)

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.

(Gary sighing)

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.

- [Toy] Start your engine.

Let's go racing.

(Jasmine groaning)

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.

(Jasmine groaning)

(birds chirping)

- 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.

(Jasmine sighing)

- You off?

- Yep, yep.

Thanks for inviting me.

I had a great time.

- I appreciate you hearing me
out.

(water lapping)

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

- You too, man.

(water lapping)

- Drive safe.

- [Logan] 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.

(both laughing)

- 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.

(soft pensive music)

- It was a good trip.

- Yeah. It was a great trip.

Glad you could make it.

- Yeah, me too.

- Let's head on out.

(soft pensive music)

(phone ringing)

- 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.

(soft music)

- (laughs) 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.

(soft pensive music)

Tell me you're joking.

(soft pensive music)

(Boyer exhaling)

(birds singing)

(door closing)

- 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.

(door slamming)
