I'm assuming you think
this lady offed her husband,

Look at this room.
Look at this couch.

All of these pillows are evenly
spaced with alternating colors.

Check out these shelves.

Those objects
are perfectly sized.

Even the choice of metals
is consistent.

This house is immaculate.

The owner is a tidiness freak,
except...

All of these curtains
are fastened with a tieback

except for one,
for some reason.

That's odd, isn't it?

You're telling me this woman

who meticulously arranges
her couch pillows

doesn't care about her curtains?

So the tieback must have
been used for something else.

See, look. You've got hairs
stuck to the chair leg.

Somebody put tape around it,
ripped it off.

The glue stayed
and trapped the little bits.

The samples are at the lab.
We found no tape at the scene.

- That means someone was
tied up with the curtain cord

and taped to the chair
around their ankles.

And... since there are no marks
on the victim's wrist,

it wasn't him who was tied up,

which means
there was a third person.

We have Lynette
tied to the chair,

victim on the ground,

and our unknown bondage freak,

who has either kidnapped
or bumped off Lynette.

That's the person
you need to find.

- Hello?!

Hi.

- This is footage
from the Acosta house

at the approximate time
of the murder.

- Who is she?
- Lishka Zhang.

A few months ago,
she filed a civil lawsuit

against one of
Lynette Acosta's clients.

Acosta won the case.

It appears Zhang
didn't take it well.

She started sending
threatening e-mails to Acosta.

♪

- Miss Zhang,
three months ago,

you sued Brian Dimon,

your boss
at Spatial Technologies.

- He harassed me. For months.

I ran out of ways
to tell him no.

So, one night, he...

locked me in his office
and assaulted me.

I reported it to the police.

I'm sure you have that
in your file.

"Insufficient evidence."

Couldn't file criminal charges,
so I sued him.

- And you lost.
Is that why you've been

sending Lynette Acosta
threatening e-mails?

- I was just questioning
why Lynette Acosta

chose to be complicit in
the suffering of women like me.

- You were angry at Mrs. Acosta.
- Of course.

- Even though Dimon
was the one who assaulted you?

- Oh, I am angry with him, too,

but the police failed me
on that front.

- What were you doing
at Acosta's house yesterday?

- I wasn't at her house
yesterday.

- We have you on video.

And 30 minutes
after you arrived,

Anthony Acosta was dead.

- That's impossible. No. No.

I-I wasn't there yesterday.

I was at home, all day, working.

- Can anyone confirm that?

- No.

- You're clear. Just need to
sign your paperwork,

and you're good to go.

- She claims to know nothing
about Lynette's whereabouts,

but Zhang has no alibi,

we have her at the scene,
and we have motive.

- Once we make the arrest,

we'll lean on her
for Lynette's location.

Start writing it up.
- Yeah.

- The video has the wrong date
on the timestamp.

- This doesn't concern you
anymore.

- Great.

- Wait.
What are you talking about?

- That's not from yesterday.
Look at the trees.

The wind is blowing
from south to north.

Wind in the L.A. Basin blows
from the south in the summer,

specifically mid-July
to September.

Then, in late fall,
winds shift in from the north,

peaking in January.

So that's got to be
from several months ago.

- How do you know
which way the wind is blowing?

- Have you even looked
at your footage?

You got a church.

Churches face east!

Okay.
Uh, around the 8th century,

priests started orienting
their churches facing east.

They said it was
based off the designs

for the Holy Temple
in Jerusalem,

but it's also possible that they
wanted the sunrise behind them

to make themselves appear
more godlike and impressive.

But that's not something
we need to get into right now.

- All churches face east?

And can't the wind
change direction?

- Catholic churches built here
in the 1800s do, so, yes.

And the wind
was definitely blowing

from the north yesterday.

[ Gasps ] Aah!

- She's right. On both counts.

- Someone doctored the video.

- See ya!

Good Lord.

- Wait!

How do you do that?

- Like I told you,
I don't sleep much.

I watch a lot of documentaries.

- That doesn't
remotely explain this.

- I also have an IQ of 160,

so that might have
something to do with it,

but you can learn a lot
from a good documentary.

You'd be surprised.

It's a high IQ. We get it.
Can I go now?

- I know a lot of
really smart people.

They're not you.

- The technical term is
"High Potential Intellectual."

It means you have
advanced cognitive abilities,

intellectual creativity,

photographic memory,
stuff like that.

But I don't know.
I've just always been this way.

- So it's some sort of a gift?

- No, not a gift.

I obsess over
every little problem I see.

My mind is constantly
spinning out of control,

which makes it impossible
to hold a job,

relationship, a conversation.
