00:00:07,619 --> 00:00:09,569
Next week I started volunteering
at Hemsworth Prison.

3
00:00:09,593 --> 00:00:10,523
Now I know it doesn’t pay.

4
00:00:10,623 --> 00:00:11,653
George, I’m proud of you.

5
00:00:11,763 --> 00:00:14,563
I love Jessica, but that
doesn’t mean I should have

6
00:00:14,663 --> 00:00:16,903
to choose between her
and my best friend.

7
00:00:17,003 --> 00:00:18,373
You’re my best friend, too.

8
00:00:18,473 --> 00:00:19,503
This is my home.

9
00:00:19,603 --> 00:00:20,673
My life.

10
00:00:20,773 --> 00:00:22,843
We must be prepared
to leave in a moment’s notice.

11
00:00:22,943 --> 00:00:24,943
Just dropped by to make sure
everything is on track.

12
00:00:26,043 --> 00:00:27,843
Need I remind you
failure is not an option.

13
00:00:29,083 --> 00:00:29,983
We got this because one
wrong move and we’re dead

14
00:00:30,883 --> 00:00:32,823
and so is everybody else
we love.

[Max]
<i>Would you please sit down?
</i>

16
00:00:37,853 --> 00:00:40,553
I can’t sit, because
if I sit, I’ll think.

17
00:00:40,653 --> 00:00:42,893
And if I think I’ll picture
all the ways

18
00:00:42,993 --> 00:00:45,493
in which we end up in matching
orange jumpsuits.

19
00:00:45,593 --> 00:00:47,933
This is just your
usual pre-show jitters.

20
00:00:48,033 --> 00:00:50,403
You always get like this
right before a big job.

21
00:00:50,503 --> 00:00:51,773
This one’s different, I just--

22
00:00:53,403 --> 00:00:56,873
The stakes, Max, the stakes
are Everest, and I can’t.

23
00:00:57,503 --> 00:00:58,233
Okay, look at me.

24
00:00:59,073 --> 00:01:00,513
This isn’t our first rodeo.

25
00:01:00,613 --> 00:01:02,683
The plan is tight, tested.

26
00:01:02,783 --> 00:01:04,753
We’ve gamed it six ways
from Sunday.

27
00:01:04,853 --> 00:01:06,823
And the last time I thought
I had it under control,

28
00:01:06,913 --> 00:01:08,413
I blew our lives to smithereens.

29
00:01:08,523 --> 00:01:10,023
Okay yes,
but we survived.

30
00:01:10,123 --> 00:01:10,823
So far.

31
00:01:12,653 --> 00:01:13,553
[sighs]

32
00:01:14,393 --> 00:01:16,433
Oh, look at the time, honey.

33
00:01:16,523 --> 00:01:17,863
Aren’t you going
to be late for work?

34
00:01:17,963 --> 00:01:18,793
Day off.

35
00:01:18,893 --> 00:01:20,893
Oh, so maybe brunch.

36
00:01:21,933 --> 00:01:23,473
You, me, Ellis,
a little Eggs Benny.

37
00:01:23,563 --> 00:01:27,903
Ellis has plans, all right?
It’s his high school reunion.

38
00:01:28,003 --> 00:01:28,973
Flying solo?

39
00:01:29,803 --> 00:01:31,943
Nope. He’s bringing Jessica.

40
00:01:32,543 --> 00:01:34,943
Oh. Oh, I see.

41
00:01:35,443 --> 00:01:36,343
See what.

42
00:01:36,443 --> 00:01:38,013
I mean, that’s not
just a date, darling.

43
00:01:38,753 --> 00:01:39,553
That’s a declaration.

44
00:01:39,653 --> 00:01:40,683
Ugh! Get out!

45
00:01:40,783 --> 00:01:43,583
Well, you don’t bare
your angst-ridden teen soul

46
00:01:43,683 --> 00:01:44,713
to just any girlfriend.

47
00:01:44,823 --> 00:01:46,523
Reunion equals intimacy.

48
00:01:46,623 --> 00:01:49,523
Or humiliation, depending
on your playlist.

49
00:01:50,563 --> 00:01:52,803
He’s opening
the vault for her, Max.

50
00:01:52,893 --> 00:01:53,993
And I’d really like you
to notice

51
00:01:54,833 --> 00:01:55,763
before it slams shut on you.

52
00:01:56,933 --> 00:01:58,873
Okay. Can we just get back
to business?

53
00:01:58,973 --> 00:02:00,003
Yes.

54
00:02:01,073 --> 00:02:02,443
All we gotta do
is stick to the plan.

55
00:02:03,443 --> 00:02:04,813
Okay. Right.

56
00:02:04,913 --> 00:02:05,983
And, Mom...

57
00:02:07,073 --> 00:02:09,573
I promise everything’s going
to be okay.

58
00:02:10,183 --> 00:02:11,883
Right. Right.

59
00:02:14,553 --> 00:02:15,953
I never thought I’d say this,

60
00:02:17,053 --> 00:02:18,253
but I’m going
to be sorry to see you go.

61
00:02:19,123 --> 00:02:20,363
Oh, right back at you, George.

62
00:02:21,393 --> 00:02:22,633
I mean, most guys
finish their parole.

63
00:02:22,723 --> 00:02:25,663
I’m just glad they’re not going
to break into my car again.

64
00:02:25,763 --> 00:02:26,963
But you...

65
00:02:27,063 --> 00:02:30,733
you went full Ted Lasso on me
and on those prison inmates.

66
00:02:30,833 --> 00:02:32,073
Just trying to give back.

67
00:02:33,133 --> 00:02:35,103
You were their mentor,
their counsellor,

68
00:02:35,203 --> 00:02:38,103
giving second chances to guys
who never even had a first.

69
00:02:38,843 --> 00:02:39,813
I really did enjoy it.

70
00:02:41,013 --> 00:02:42,953
Today’s my last session
with the guys.

71
00:02:43,043 --> 00:02:44,613
Oh, yeah?
How do you feel about that?

72
00:02:44,713 --> 00:02:47,553
I’m not so good with endings
or change,

73
00:02:47,653 --> 00:02:50,053
which is odd considering
the kind of life that I lead.

74
00:02:50,623 --> 00:02:51,553
I mean, led.

75
00:02:51,653 --> 00:02:52,583
Mm.

76
00:02:52,693 --> 00:02:55,133
Well, look,
this doesn’t have to be goodbye.

77
00:02:55,863 --> 00:02:57,033
Just uh...

78
00:02:57,123 --> 00:02:58,323
Au revoir?

79
00:02:58,433 --> 00:03:01,073
Well, if it’ll help make
the transition any easier,

80
00:03:01,163 --> 00:03:03,663
we could still meet up every
couple of months.

81
00:03:03,763 --> 00:03:05,533
Are you saying you’re going
to miss me?

82
00:03:05,633 --> 00:03:07,973
I’m saying I’ve had worse
company on this bench.

83
00:03:08,943 --> 00:03:10,583
I’ll put that on a plaque.

[both chuckle]

85
00:03:13,773 --> 00:03:15,543
You know what?
I think I’d like that.

86
00:03:16,813 --> 00:03:18,483
You’ve been more than just
a parole officer to me.

87
00:03:19,283 --> 00:03:20,523
You’ve been a real friend.

88

That’s Lexi.

Mole man.

00:05:13,033 --> 00:05:14,673
I almost didn’t recognize you.

140

- Brock.
-Came back for more, eh?

141

Oh, you always were
a sucker for punishment.

Hilarious.

Former quarterback,
still a bully.

144
00:05:24,303 --> 00:05:27,003
Yeah, I was
an easy target back then.

145
00:05:27,113 --> 00:05:30,083
You could have landed a plane
on my face from the acne glow.

146
00:05:30,183 --> 00:05:31,883
I still hate him.

147
00:05:31,983 --> 00:05:34,783
Now will you please tell me
what’s with the mole thing?

Is it mole as in--

Mr. Loomis?

150
00:05:36,853 --> 00:05:39,953
Cole. Oh, I was so
hoping I’d see you today.

151
00:05:40,053 --> 00:05:41,083
Yeah.

152
00:05:41,193 --> 00:05:43,033
Look at you.
You look great.

153
00:05:43,123 --> 00:05:43,893
Thank you.

154
00:05:43,993 --> 00:05:45,123
And this lovely lady must
be your--

Human shield. Jessica.

156
00:05:47,393 --> 00:05:48,463
Human shield.

157
00:05:48,563 --> 00:05:50,133
Mr. Loomis was
the high school librarian.

158
00:05:50,233 --> 00:05:51,063
I still am actually.

159
00:05:51,163 --> 00:05:52,833
You know, I’ve still got
a few more years

160
00:05:52,933 --> 00:05:54,003
before they
stick me out on an ice floe.

161
00:05:54,103 --> 00:05:56,743

will you call me Terrence now.

00:05:56,843 --> 00:05:57,813
Okay, okay.

163

00:09:11,403 --> 00:09:13,473
Yeah. Even on the weekends,
the school bell still ring.

I heard the lunch bell
and went down to open up.

256

It’s my first year here.

271
00:09:47,573 --> 00:09:48,873
I get real OCD about this.

You know, kids and chemicals.

273
00:09:51,103 --> 00:09:54,243
Every bottle has its
exact spot, label facing out.

274
00:09:54,343 --> 00:09:56,483
If anything’s even a hair off,
I notice.

Well, I noticed too,
that bottle’s crooked.

So if it was all good yesterday

and you just opened
the door at noon today,

279
00:10:04,483 --> 00:10:05,313
And sodium nitrite
can take up to

280
00:10:05,423 --> 00:10:07,023
half an hour
to result in death.

281

Then whoever grabbed
the poison was in this room

282
00:10:09,123 --> 00:10:10,293
between 12:00 and 12:30.

00:11:43,583 --> 00:11:46,553
Yeah, from your favourite,
El Legislador.

325
00:11:48,153 --> 00:11:50,623
This one’s yours, okay.
Extra cheese.

326
00:11:50,723 --> 00:11:51,923
Your favourite.

327
00:11:54,063 --> 00:11:55,163
Oh, this one’s mine.

328
00:11:55,733 --> 00:11:56,463
Extra beans.

329
00:11:58,363 --> 00:11:59,433
Oh, God.

330
00:12:01,503 --> 00:12:03,573
Okay, class.
Pay attention.

331
00:12:04,473 --> 00:12:05,973
Grant left the lab around noon.

332
00:12:06,973 --> 00:12:07,643
Olive says it takes
about 30 minutes

333
00:12:07,743 --> 00:12:08,573
for the poison to kick in.

334
00:12:08,673 --> 00:12:10,413
And Lexi dropped dead at 1:00.

335
00:12:10,513 --> 00:12:11,483
Gold star, Cole.

336
00:12:11,583 --> 00:12:13,253
Which means our killer
had to spike the drink

337
00:12:13,353 --> 00:12:14,623
around 12:00, 12:30.

338
00:12:15,213 --> 00:12:16,313
A  to the Chief.

339
00:12:16,423 --> 00:12:18,363
That leaves about a 30
minute smash and grab window.

340
00:12:18,453 --> 00:12:20,923
Break into the lab, grab
the goods, spike the drink.

341
00:12:22,363 --> 00:12:25,403
Olive’s taken Lexi’s champagne
glass for testing.

342
00:12:25,493 --> 00:12:27,633
Okay, but all of this presumes
that Grant’s not our guy.

343
00:12:28,393 --> 00:12:28,923
How can you be so sure?

344
00:12:29,563 --> 00:12:30,493
Because he’s new.

345
00:12:30,603 --> 00:12:33,103
He has no ties to Lexi
or the sad reunion.

346
00:12:33,203 --> 00:12:34,503
Presuming he’s telling
the truth.

347
00:12:34,603 --> 00:12:36,173
If Grant wanted someone gone,

348
00:12:36,273 --> 00:12:38,373
why would he use poison with
a neon flashing sign

349
00:12:38,473 --> 00:12:40,243
saying "property of
science teacher."

350
00:12:40,343 --> 00:12:42,183
Fair. But I’m not ruling
him out completely.

351
00:12:42,283 --> 00:12:43,523
I’m going to double check
his alibi.

352
00:12:43,613 --> 00:12:45,653
In the meantime, let’s get a
lockdown on the food and drink.

353
00:12:46,253 --> 00:12:47,123
Already done.

354
00:12:47,213 --> 00:12:48,413
And I confiscated
everybody’s cell phones.

355
00:12:48,513 --> 00:12:49,683
Including your
journalist girlfriend’s.

356
00:12:50,753 --> 00:12:51,953
Yes, including my
journalist girlfriend.

357
00:12:52,053 --> 00:12:53,693
Okay, look, we need to control
the narrative of this thing

358
00:12:53,793 --> 00:12:54,693
before it goes public.

359
00:12:54,793 --> 00:12:56,193
Ellis, you’re off this.

360
00:12:56,293 --> 00:12:57,163
What?

361
00:12:57,263 --> 00:12:58,533
You were on the scene
when it happened.

362
00:12:58,623 --> 00:13:01,163
Making you a witness and with
a conflict of interest.

363
00:13:01,263 --> 00:13:02,233
Sorry, but you’re benched.

364
00:13:02,333 --> 00:13:03,333
Ooh. This is delicious.

365
00:13:04,163 --> 00:13:05,133
Chief, it’s me.

366
00:13:05,233 --> 00:13:06,333
This is not up for debate.

367
00:13:06,433 --> 00:13:08,503
I think you should hand over
your badge and your gun

368
00:13:08,603 --> 00:13:09,733
and your really
nice office chair.

369
00:13:09,843 --> 00:13:12,443
You know, the one with the
only working lumbar thingy.

370
00:13:15,113 --> 00:13:15,913
I can see you smiling.

371
00:13:16,013 --> 00:13:17,383
You’re enjoying this
way too much.

372
00:13:17,483 --> 00:13:19,223
I am Switzerland.

373
00:13:19,313 --> 00:13:21,613
Max, you and I are gonna
split the witness list.

374
00:13:21,713 --> 00:13:22,953
Let’s get eyes on
anyone upstairs

375
00:13:23,683 --> 00:13:24,853
between 12:00 and 12:30.

376
00:13:24,953 --> 00:13:26,493
Since our poison only walked
out of the lab around noon,

377
00:13:26,593 --> 00:13:28,193
that screams crime
of opportunity.

378
00:13:28,293 --> 00:13:30,193
All we know is someone
decided to kill Lexi.

379
00:13:30,293 --> 00:13:31,793
Maybe it was
the sale of her company.

380
00:13:32,833 --> 00:13:34,103
500 million is
a good reason to kill.

381
00:13:34,193 --> 00:13:36,533
Well, there’s a lot of history
in Clearasil under that bridge.

382
00:13:36,633 --> 00:13:39,033
I think it’s time we let
the real cops do their job.

383
00:13:40,103 --> 00:13:42,043
Enjoy the lumbar
support while it lasts.

384
00:13:42,873 --> 00:13:45,443
[teary] I loved Lexi, okay?

385
00:13:45,543 --> 00:13:49,443
She was prom queen.
Like pure gravity.

386
00:13:50,743 --> 00:13:52,443
I mean, sure, I was jealous.

387
00:13:52,553 --> 00:13:53,623
Really?

388
00:13:53,713 --> 00:13:56,283
Who wasn’t? But I was happy
just to be in her orbit,

389
00:13:56,383 --> 00:13:58,623
even if she turned her circle
into a triangle.

390
00:13:58,723 --> 00:14:00,623
So where were you around noon?

391
00:14:00,723 --> 00:14:02,523
I wasn’t upstairs,
that’s for sure.

392
00:14:02,623 --> 00:14:04,463
Hitting on that new
science teacher, Grant.

393
00:14:04,563 --> 00:14:06,303
Everybody’s gonna tell you
they loved Lexi.

394
00:14:06,393 --> 00:14:07,063
But that’s not true.

395
00:14:07,163 --> 00:14:08,633
She lived to humiliate people.

396
00:14:08,733 --> 00:14:10,773
She’s the one who
gave Ellis his nicknames.

397
00:14:10,863 --> 00:14:11,893
Nicknames?

398
00:14:12,003 --> 00:14:14,273
Sure. Like "Cole Cuts".
"Cole Ellis".

399
00:14:14,373 --> 00:14:16,613
Lexi made him
a walking punchline.

400
00:14:16,703 --> 00:14:18,503
Where were you
between noon and 12:30?

401
00:14:19,413 --> 00:14:20,543
With my former chess club buds.

402
00:14:20,643 --> 00:14:21,643
On the second floor?

403
00:14:21,743 --> 00:14:24,743
Nah, I got checkmated
in the first floor gym.

404
00:14:24,843 --> 00:14:26,283
Lexi wasn’t cruel.

405
00:14:26,383 --> 00:14:27,723
She was a force of nature.

406
00:14:27,813 --> 00:14:29,553
A tornado in a crop top.

407
00:14:29,653 --> 00:14:32,593
BFFs. Even after all
these years.

408
00:14:32,693 --> 00:14:33,793
Always.

409
00:14:33,893 --> 00:14:36,693
Life took us to different cities
but Lexi was the glue.

410
00:14:37,663 --> 00:14:38,633
One group chat,
one text and...

411
00:14:40,163 --> 00:14:41,733
it was like
we were all 17 again.

412
00:14:42,933 --> 00:14:44,303
Lexi and I even had
lunch about six months ago

413
00:14:44,403 --> 00:14:45,533
when she blew through town.

414
00:14:45,633 --> 00:14:46,873
Lexi and I? Prom royalty.

415
00:14:46,973 --> 00:14:50,513
But after graduation, she just
wasn’t really my vibe anymore.

416
00:14:50,603 --> 00:14:52,473
You two didn’t keep
in touch after high school?

417
00:14:52,573 --> 00:14:54,413
No. Not really.
Different paths.

418
00:14:55,273 --> 00:14:57,243
I’m, uh, happily married now.

419
00:14:57,343 --> 00:15:00,743
Lexi never reached out,
not even a reunion text?

420
00:15:00,853 --> 00:15:02,353
No, I didn’t expect her to.

421
00:15:02,453 --> 00:15:04,523
And no, I was nowhere
near the second floor.

422
00:15:04,623 --> 00:15:05,753
Lexi was toxic.

423
00:15:05,853 --> 00:15:08,393
She dumped Brock after
he was benched in the big game.

424
00:15:08,493 --> 00:15:11,333
I know she’s dead
and all, but let’s be real.

425
00:15:11,423 --> 00:15:12,863
Okay, let’s.

426
00:15:12,963 --> 00:15:13,793
Everyone hated her.

427
00:15:14,393 --> 00:15:15,223
Including you?

428
00:15:15,333 --> 00:15:16,433
Did you hate her enough
to kill her?

429
00:15:16,533 --> 00:15:17,233
No way.

430
00:15:17,333 --> 00:15:18,773
But there was one person
who did.

431
00:15:18,863 --> 00:15:19,893
Senior prom.

432
00:15:20,003 --> 00:15:21,573
She destroyed him in front
of everyone.

433
00:15:21,673 --> 00:15:23,413
He never got over it.

434
00:15:23,503 --> 00:15:24,773
Oh, man.
It was embarrassing.

435
00:15:25,473 --> 00:15:26,573
So if you’re asking

436
00:15:26,673 --> 00:15:28,843
who had the biggest motive
to kill Lexi, that’s easy.

437
00:15:29,943 --> 00:15:31,783
Cole Ellis.

438
00:15:32,343 --> 00:15:33,373
Cole Ellis.

439
00:15:33,483 --> 00:15:34,413
Cole Ellis.

440
00:15:34,513 --> 00:15:35,343
Cole Ellis.

441
00:15:35,453 --> 00:15:37,123
Cole Ellis.

442
00:15:42,593 --> 00:15:44,733
Chief, you can’t be serious.
I’m a suspect?

443
00:15:44,823 --> 00:15:46,493
According to everyone,
you have motive.

444
00:15:46,593 --> 00:15:48,363
Where there’s motive,
there’s murder.

445
00:15:48,463 --> 00:15:51,763
Mr. Ellis, tell us the truth
and we’ll cut you a deal.

446
00:15:51,863 --> 00:15:52,763
Max, come on.
This isn’t a joke.

447
00:15:53,273 --> 00:15:54,403
I know.

448
00:15:54,503 --> 00:15:55,843
I could have been working
with a murderer this whole time.

449
00:15:56,643 --> 00:15:57,883
Ellis, tell us about prom.

450
00:15:58,973 --> 00:16:00,913
Let’s just say back in
high school,

451
00:16:01,013 --> 00:16:02,913
I wasn’t exactly
the most popular kid.

452
00:16:03,013 --> 00:16:04,683
A couple of weeks
before senior prom,

453
00:16:04,783 --> 00:16:06,923
I got paired with Lexi to do
this history project.

454
00:16:07,913 --> 00:16:08,843
First, we got off to
a rough start,

455
00:16:09,953 --> 00:16:10,883
but, all of a sudden,
one day we just...

456
00:16:11,483 --> 00:16:12,383
we hit a groove.

457
00:16:12,493 --> 00:16:13,793
You know, we started
having fun together.

458
00:16:14,823 --> 00:16:16,063
I think it surprised
the both of us.

459
00:16:16,163 --> 00:16:18,863
But long story short, we ended
up getting an A  on the project.

460
00:16:19,363 --> 00:16:20,033
And then?

461
00:16:20,133 --> 00:16:21,503
And then she asked me to prom.

462
00:16:21,593 --> 00:16:23,863
From dud to stud. Classic.

463
00:16:23,963 --> 00:16:24,993
On prom night,

464
00:16:25,103 --> 00:16:27,943
I picked Lexi up, I gave
her this corsage,

465
00:16:28,773 --> 00:16:29,803
and I took her to the dance.

466
00:16:30,943 --> 00:16:32,683
But as soon as we walked
into the cafeteria,

467
00:16:32,773 --> 00:16:34,843
that’s when
the other shoe dropped.

468
00:16:36,083 --> 00:16:37,823
Hannah, Amber Brock,
they were all there waiting,

469
00:16:37,913 --> 00:16:39,013
laughing their asses
off at my,

470
00:16:39,113 --> 00:16:41,513
believing that the most
popular girl in high school

471
00:16:41,613 --> 00:16:43,813
would have went to prom...
with me.

472
00:16:45,223 --> 00:16:47,763
Brock took Lexi by the hand
threw the corsage back at me,

473
00:16:47,853 --> 00:16:49,393
and then he walked
her onto to the dance floor.

474
00:16:50,363 --> 00:16:51,803
What a piece of work.

475
00:16:51,893 --> 00:16:54,393
If she wasn’t already
dead, I’d kill her myself.

476
00:16:55,633 --> 00:16:57,433
Ellis, did you interact
with Lexi this morning?

477
00:16:57,533 --> 00:16:59,603
No. Between 12:00 and 12:30,
I was in the cafeteria.

478
00:16:59,703 --> 00:17:00,503
I said that.

479
00:17:00,603 --> 00:17:01,603
So, no alibi.

480
00:17:02,643 --> 00:17:03,843
Max, there was like
100 people there.

481
00:17:05,073 --> 00:17:07,713
So you admit no one can
confirm your whereabouts.

482
00:17:08,813 --> 00:17:10,713
Hey, can we just
get back to work, please?

483
00:17:10,813 --> 00:17:12,413
I already told you
you’re benched.

484
00:17:12,513 --> 00:17:14,453
Chief, I’m an asset.
I know everyone here.

485
00:17:14,553 --> 00:17:15,383
I’m telling you.

486
00:17:15,483 --> 00:17:16,383
That’s the problem.

487
00:17:16,483 --> 00:17:17,723
You can’t be an
objective investigator.

488
00:17:18,723 --> 00:17:19,893
All right, fine.

489
00:17:21,023 --> 00:17:22,123
Can you just tell me
what you know so far?

490
00:17:22,223 --> 00:17:24,463
We talked to everyone except
a guy named Ron Zigowski.

491
00:17:24,563 --> 00:17:25,963
He signed in, but no one’s
been able to find him.

492
00:17:26,933 --> 00:17:27,503
Nobody listens to me
around here.

493
00:17:27,593 --> 00:17:28,663
I just said he’s benched.

494
00:17:28,763 --> 00:17:31,803
I know, old habits die
hard, even with a murderer.

495
00:17:31,903 --> 00:17:33,603
Ziggy’s here, huh? Wow.

496
00:17:34,833 --> 00:17:37,703
He was like the, uh,
Spicoli of our high school.

497
00:17:37,803 --> 00:17:39,003
Total stoner.

498
00:17:39,103 --> 00:17:40,103
Is he worth a look?

499
00:17:40,213 --> 00:17:41,413
I mean, I wouldn’t have
thought so,

500
00:17:41,513 --> 00:17:44,683
but it has been 15 years,
so people change, right?

501
00:17:44,783 --> 00:17:47,383
Okay, civilian, we got this.

502
00:17:49,653 --> 00:17:50,723
I’m keeping this.

503
00:17:53,523 --> 00:17:55,493
Thanks, Ludo.
Five stars, buddy.

504
00:17:56,523 --> 00:17:57,653
Yates, what the?

505
00:17:58,823 --> 00:18:00,493
I’m still burping up burritos.
What is this?

506
00:18:02,363 --> 00:18:04,663
Hold up.
Are these- are these kebabs?

507
00:18:04,763 --> 00:18:07,963
Mmhmm. Todd’s kebabs and
cell phone emporium.

508
00:18:08,433 --> 00:18:09,033
Okay.

509
00:18:09,133 --> 00:18:10,533
One last time.

510
00:18:10,643 --> 00:18:12,683
One last time?
What do you mean by that?

511
00:18:12,773 --> 00:18:15,413
Todd’s packing up his
skewers for good this time.

512
00:18:16,413 --> 00:18:17,683
His wife inherited
a beauty parlour.

513
00:18:18,813 --> 00:18:19,883
Just like that, huh?

514
00:18:21,553 --> 00:18:22,893
Shocking, isn’t it?

515
00:18:24,023 --> 00:18:25,493
You rely on Todd.

516
00:18:26,793 --> 00:18:30,693
The consistency of his kebabs,
friendship, camaraderie.

517
00:18:31,723 --> 00:18:34,793
And then, out of nowhere,
just leaves.

518
00:18:34,893 --> 00:18:36,963
Like your relationship
meant nothing to him

519
00:18:37,063 --> 00:18:38,063
because he
found something better.

520
00:18:39,573 --> 00:18:40,843
Yeah, well, things change.

521
00:18:42,103 --> 00:18:44,503
That’s life.
It’s not all bad.

522
00:18:45,603 --> 00:18:46,603
Change sucks.

523
00:18:49,013 --> 00:18:49,743
Are...

524
00:18:50,983 --> 00:18:52,353
Are you about to cry?

525
00:18:54,613 --> 00:18:56,313
There’s no crying on stakeouts.

526
00:18:58,123 --> 00:18:59,963
Hey, listen,
there’s gonna be other kebabs.

527
00:19:02,923 --> 00:19:04,053
Not like these ones.

528
00:19:10,733 --> 00:19:12,633
There’s no sign
of Ziggy anywhere.

529
00:19:12,733 --> 00:19:13,973
Detective, you’re benched.

530
00:19:14,533 --> 00:19:15,563
Oh, please.

531
00:19:15,673 --> 00:19:17,073
It’s not like you’re already
drafting an article

532
00:19:17,173 --> 00:19:18,513
in your head about all this.

533
00:19:18,603 --> 00:19:19,803
I’m not benched.

534
00:19:20,543 --> 00:19:21,843
What did the Chief want?

535
00:19:21,943 --> 00:19:23,543
Strangely, he wanted
to know what you were

536
00:19:23,643 --> 00:19:24,643
like in high school.

537
00:19:24,743 --> 00:19:26,083
Oh, he did, did he?

538
00:19:26,183 --> 00:19:27,353
- Mmhmm.
- Okay.

539
00:19:28,213 --> 00:19:30,083
I was more punk than popular.

540
00:19:30,183 --> 00:19:32,853
I smoked in the girls’ bathroom.
I wore way too much eyeliner.

541
00:19:32,953 --> 00:19:34,553
And I was 100 percent certain

542
00:19:34,653 --> 00:19:36,553
that I was gonna marry
Jack White.

543
00:19:36,663 --> 00:19:39,003
Okay, so unlike me,
you were actually cool.

544
00:19:39,733 --> 00:19:41,603
I was tremendously cool.

545
00:19:41,693 --> 00:19:42,863
It’s too bad we
didn’t meet back then.

546
00:19:44,863 --> 00:19:45,963
Hard truth.

547
00:19:46,073 --> 00:19:48,113
I think that Teen Jess would
have ghosted Teen Ellis

548
00:19:49,073 --> 00:19:49,973
before ghosting
was even a thing.

549
00:19:50,073 --> 00:19:51,203
Think so?

550
00:19:51,303 --> 00:19:53,973
There was a big difference
between cool and confident.

551
00:19:55,443 --> 00:19:58,013
I hid behind ripped fishnets,
Doc Martens and a bad attitude.

552
00:19:59,143 --> 00:20:01,043
That you’re too cool to even
go to your prom.

553
00:20:02,183 --> 00:20:04,783
Oh, I went with 20-year-old
bad boy Liam,

554
00:20:04,883 --> 00:20:06,553
who smelled
like cigarettes and sweat

555
00:20:06,653 --> 00:20:08,093
and rode a motorcycle.

556
00:20:08,653 --> 00:20:09,783
Okay. Yeah.

557
00:20:11,063 --> 00:20:12,433
Teen Ellis definitely
couldn’t compete with that.

558
00:20:17,933 --> 00:20:18,733
What’s wrong?

559
00:20:18,833 --> 00:20:20,633
I’m glad we didn’t meet
back then.

560
00:20:20,733 --> 00:20:22,573
I think you would have
been wasted on Teen Jess.

561
00:20:23,803 --> 00:20:25,743
She was nowhere near mature
enough to appreciate

562
00:20:25,843 --> 00:20:28,583
the genuine, honourable,
sexy man you are now.

563
00:20:28,673 --> 00:20:30,073
You think I’m sexy, huh?

564
00:20:30,183 --> 00:20:32,183
Well, don’t let it get
to your head.

565
00:20:32,283 --> 00:20:33,183
Too late.

566
00:20:34,313 --> 00:20:35,913
You want to hold hands
with the cool chick?

567
00:20:36,023 --> 00:20:37,463
Yes, I do.

568
00:20:39,593 --> 00:20:41,193
So you still got those fishnets?

569
00:20:41,923 --> 00:20:43,423
Oh, keep dreaming, nerd.

570
00:20:45,223 --> 00:20:46,863
This is our last session, boys.

571
00:20:46,963 --> 00:20:47,733
And don’t worry.

572
00:20:47,833 --> 00:20:49,303
I’m not going to turn
on the sap

573
00:20:50,333 --> 00:20:51,433
and tell you all
how proud I am of you.

574
00:20:51,533 --> 00:20:53,633
Because if you don’t know
that already, you’re idiots.

575
00:20:53,733 --> 00:20:54,803
[all chuckles]

576
00:20:56,973 --> 00:20:59,113
Speaking for the group,

577
00:20:59,203 --> 00:21:01,103
I just want to say how much our
time together has meant to us.

578
00:21:02,073 --> 00:21:04,913
Oh, thanks, guys.
That means a lot.

579
00:21:06,053 --> 00:21:07,623
How about we read our
last journal entry?

580
00:21:07,713 --> 00:21:09,383
Artie, do you want
to start us off?

581
00:21:09,853 --> 00:21:10,783
Sure.

582
00:21:10,883 --> 00:21:12,013
[alarm wails]

583
00:21:12,123 --> 00:21:13,663
So Block D’s been flooded.

584
00:21:13,753 --> 00:21:14,723
What happened?

585
00:21:14,823 --> 00:21:15,993
100-year-old sewage
pipes is what happened.

586
00:21:16,093 --> 00:21:18,733
Everyone’s been ordered
to stay where they are.

587
00:21:18,823 --> 00:21:20,223
You too, George.
Get comfortable,

588
00:21:20,893 --> 00:21:21,693
It may be a while.

589
00:21:24,863 --> 00:21:26,703
Look, let’s double
back this way.

590
00:21:26,803 --> 00:21:27,803
[bell ringing]

591
00:21:27,903 --> 00:21:30,243
Ah! These hallways bringing
back any memories?

592
00:21:30,343 --> 00:21:32,783
I dropped out of high school
to join a certain street gang.

593
00:21:33,773 --> 00:21:35,173
Crimson Vipers
got you young, huh?

594
00:21:35,273 --> 00:21:36,303
Yeah, too young.

595
00:21:36,413 --> 00:21:38,183
You grow up quick
when you’re in a gang.

596
00:21:38,283 --> 00:21:39,453
What about you?

597
00:21:39,553 --> 00:21:41,953
I was always on the move,
so I was homeschooled.

598
00:21:42,053 --> 00:21:44,223
I still learned trigonometry,

599
00:21:45,423 --> 00:21:47,093
but I used it for
drawing blueprints for heists.

600
00:21:47,193 --> 00:21:48,223
So no problem for you, either.

601
00:21:48,693 --> 00:21:49,393
Nope.

602
00:21:49,493 --> 00:21:50,523
Never feel like you missed out?

603
00:21:50,623 --> 00:21:52,123
Sometimes I think it would
have been nice

604
00:21:52,223 --> 00:21:54,163
to have a steady friend group.

605
00:21:55,163 --> 00:21:56,733
Go to Sweet Sixteens,
pep rallies.

606
00:21:56,833 --> 00:21:58,003
You know, the ushe.

607
00:21:58,103 --> 00:21:58,933
How about you?

608
00:21:59,033 --> 00:22:01,273
Yeah, I guess a normal
high school life

609
00:22:01,373 --> 00:22:03,813
would have been a lot easier.

610
00:22:03,903 --> 00:22:06,043
But then you wouldn’t have
become the man you are today.

611
00:22:08,243 --> 00:22:09,013
Hey.

612
00:22:09,683 --> 00:22:10,753
Look at this.

613
00:22:13,683 --> 00:22:14,983
Someone didn’t like Lexi.

614
00:22:15,613 --> 00:22:16,683
Nope.

615
00:22:16,783 --> 00:22:17,953
[phone rings]

616
00:22:18,053 --> 00:22:19,223
Olive.

617
00:22:19,323 --> 00:22:22,293
I tested Lexi’s champagne
glass and the champagne itself.

618
00:22:23,593 --> 00:22:25,693
There are no traces of sodium
nitrite on or in either.

619
00:22:25,793 --> 00:22:28,033
So it wasn’t anything
she ate or drank.

620
00:22:28,133 --> 00:22:30,233
But I did find traces of
the poison on her lips.

621
00:22:30,963 --> 00:22:31,733
How did it get there?

622
00:22:31,833 --> 00:22:32,763
Lip balm.

623
00:22:32,873 --> 00:22:33,703
Her own brand.

624
00:22:33,803 --> 00:22:35,303
Were you able to pull
any fingerprints

625
00:22:35,403 --> 00:22:36,943
off the tube of lip balm?

626
00:22:37,043 --> 00:22:37,943
Only the victims.

627
00:22:38,043 --> 00:22:39,913
But I did discover
something surprising.

628
00:22:40,013 --> 00:22:40,843
Cornstarch.

629
00:22:41,713 --> 00:22:42,743
She needed to thicken something?

630
00:22:43,343 --> 00:22:44,013
Surgical gloves.

631
00:22:44,113 --> 00:22:45,313
Exactly.

632
00:22:45,413 --> 00:22:47,113
The insides of surgical gloves
are coated with cornstarch.

633
00:22:47,213 --> 00:22:48,813
It makes them easier to put on.

634
00:22:48,913 --> 00:22:51,253
So the killer used gloves
to handle the lip balm.

635
00:22:51,353 --> 00:22:52,993
If I find anything else,
I’ll let you know.

636
00:22:55,223 --> 00:22:57,923
What if Lexi’s lip balm isn’t
the only one that was poisoned?

637
00:22:58,023 --> 00:22:59,993
We have to gather up all
those lip balms and test them.

638
00:23:00,093 --> 00:23:01,263
I’ll go tell the unis.

639
00:23:01,363 --> 00:23:03,163
Okay. We need to get
the word out

640
00:23:04,033 --> 00:23:04,933
before anyone else gets hurt.

641
00:23:05,033 --> 00:23:06,773
The PA system.
I’ll make an announcement.

642
00:23:08,933 --> 00:23:10,303
What are you two doing?

643
00:23:11,703 --> 00:23:13,903
We were going to go make out
in the principal’s office.

644
00:23:14,473 --> 00:23:15,443
Any updates?

645
00:23:15,543 --> 00:23:17,243
Yeah. Lexi was poisoned
by her own lip balm.

646
00:23:18,513 --> 00:23:19,753
I was gonna make an
announcement on the PA system.

647
00:23:20,183 --> 00:23:21,083
Oh.

648
00:23:24,253 --> 00:23:25,753
[Max gasps]

649
00:23:25,853 --> 00:23:26,753
Oh my God!

650
00:23:28,353 --> 00:23:29,283
That’s Ziggy.

651
00:23:34,963 --> 00:23:35,863
Is he alive?

652
00:23:35,963 --> 00:23:36,893
I’m going to call 9-1-1.

653
00:23:37,803 --> 00:23:38,373
Yeah.

654
00:23:38,933 --> 00:23:39,803
[loud gasp]

655
00:23:40,403 --> 00:23:42,103
Oh, what the--

656
00:23:43,743 --> 00:23:44,373
Smellis?

657
00:23:44,473 --> 00:23:46,343
Oh, Smellis.
Is that you?

658
00:23:47,173 --> 00:23:47,873
Wait. What did he call you?

659
00:23:47,973 --> 00:23:49,273
Nothing.
He’s-- he’s delirious.

660
00:23:50,183 --> 00:23:52,983
Oh. Smellis.
Smellis, my dude.

661
00:23:53,083 --> 00:23:55,353
Okay, this day just keeps
getting better and better.

662
00:23:56,723 --> 00:23:58,323
Look, Z, we have some questions
we need to ask you, okay?

663
00:23:59,423 --> 00:24:00,323
I’m sorry, civilian.
You heard the Chief.

664
00:24:00,423 --> 00:24:02,293
Go park yourself
over there and stay there.

665
00:24:04,063 --> 00:24:07,133
I cannot believe Smellis
went full narc.

666
00:24:07,963 --> 00:24:09,263
Tell me about Lexi.

667
00:24:09,363 --> 00:24:10,963
Queen of mean.

668
00:24:11,063 --> 00:24:12,263
What about her?

669
00:24:12,363 --> 00:24:14,033
She died earlier today.

670
00:24:14,133 --> 00:24:16,233
Oh, well...
Oh, that’s a trip.

671
00:24:17,143 --> 00:24:19,143
Oh. She’s okay?

672
00:24:19,873 --> 00:24:21,113
She’s dead.

673
00:24:22,243 --> 00:24:25,883
Okay. Where were you
between 12:00 and 12:30?

674
00:24:25,983 --> 00:24:27,953
Yeah, I was taking a stroll
down memory lane.

675
00:24:28,053 --> 00:24:29,853
I saw Amber ducked in here.

676
00:24:29,953 --> 00:24:30,923
Why?

677
00:24:31,023 --> 00:24:33,923
Yeah, Amber, Lexi and Hannah,
they... suck.

678
00:24:34,753 --> 00:24:35,923
What was Amber doing?

679
00:24:36,023 --> 00:24:37,393
She’s gone nuts.

680
00:24:38,793 --> 00:24:41,133
She was like tearing posters
and swearing under her breath.

681
00:24:41,233 --> 00:24:42,133
Interesting.

682
00:24:42,233 --> 00:24:42,933
Right?

683
00:24:43,033 --> 00:24:44,403
Can you remember anything else?

684
00:24:44,503 --> 00:24:47,973
No. No.
I saw Amber, hid out in here.

685
00:24:48,073 --> 00:24:50,373
Place went up, and then I must
have dozed off,

686
00:24:51,473 --> 00:24:53,243
because next thing
I know, there’s Smellis.

687
00:24:54,413 --> 00:24:55,883
Oh my God, where is Smellis?

688
00:25:01,013 --> 00:25:04,213
Found these in the trash can
near the science lab.

689
00:25:04,323 --> 00:25:05,993
That’s awful.

690
00:25:06,083 --> 00:25:07,883
I mean, why would anybody
do that?

691
00:25:07,993 --> 00:25:09,893
Lexi was, like, the most
beautiful soul ever.

692
00:25:09,993 --> 00:25:11,433
And, like, I miss her already.

693
00:25:12,293 --> 00:25:13,193
We have a witness who saw you.

694
00:25:15,163 --> 00:25:17,863
Okay, fine. It was me.
I tore them down.

695
00:25:17,963 --> 00:25:19,403
I was mad, but only because

696
00:25:19,503 --> 00:25:22,103
Lexi hijacked the entire
reunion that I planned.

697
00:25:22,203 --> 00:25:23,173
How?

698
00:25:23,273 --> 00:25:24,303
I have been planning this
reunion for months,

699
00:25:24,403 --> 00:25:26,273
and then she just swoops in
last minute

700
00:25:26,373 --> 00:25:27,973
and pays for, like,
a few bags of nachos

701
00:25:28,073 --> 00:25:31,043
and plasters, her stupid lip
balm posters everywhere.

702
00:25:31,143 --> 00:25:33,013
And then what?
She got all the credit.

703
00:25:33,113 --> 00:25:34,413
We thought you two
were best friends.

704
00:25:34,513 --> 00:25:35,513
So did I.

705
00:25:35,613 --> 00:25:37,713
And then I saw her and Hannah
a few months ago

706
00:25:37,823 --> 00:25:39,393
at Babette’s Bistro,
like together,

707
00:25:39,483 --> 00:25:40,723
and they didn’t even invite me.

708
00:25:40,823 --> 00:25:43,123
And Babette’s has like
the cutest happy hour ever.

709
00:25:43,223 --> 00:25:44,293
And then this morning,

710
00:25:44,393 --> 00:25:46,263
I saw the two of them
huddled together in the gym.

711
00:25:46,363 --> 00:25:48,733
And when I tried to join in,
Lexi said that it was

712
00:25:48,833 --> 00:25:50,433
a private conversation just
for her and Hannah.

713
00:25:50,533 --> 00:25:53,433
I mean, like, excuse me.
She could be so fickle.

714
00:25:56,603 --> 00:25:58,173
Oh, but I didn’t kill her.

715
00:25:58,273 --> 00:26:00,013
You were the only person
on the second floor.

716
00:26:00,613 --> 00:26:01,443
No, I wasn’t.

717
00:26:01,543 --> 00:26:02,373
Ziggy doesn’t count.

718
00:26:03,213 --> 00:26:04,143
I’m not talking about Ziggy.

719
00:26:06,883 --> 00:26:08,923
Welcome to my old hideout.

720
00:26:09,013 --> 00:26:11,113
I knew you weren’t a behind
the bleachers kind of guy.

721
00:26:11,223 --> 00:26:13,963
It’s definitely no making
out happening here.

722
00:26:14,053 --> 00:26:16,523
The library was always empty, so
I’d always come here to escape.

723
00:26:16,993 --> 00:26:17,663
Mm.

724
00:26:17,763 --> 00:26:20,003
Ah, see, I knew you’d be back.

725
00:26:20,093 --> 00:26:21,463
I dug this out for you.

726
00:26:22,863 --> 00:26:26,203
Oh, my God. I can’t believe
you still have a copy of that.

727
00:26:26,303 --> 00:26:30,343
<i>Justice Begins With Us,
</i>an essay by Cole Ellis.

728
00:26:30,443 --> 00:26:32,383
So you haven’t
changed at all, then?

729
00:26:32,473 --> 00:26:34,443
Actually the essay is
pretty good,

730
00:26:34,543 --> 00:26:36,083
but the story is
the real gold.

731
00:26:36,173 --> 00:26:37,173
Tell me everything.

732
00:26:37,283 --> 00:26:39,353
Cole was a senior and some of
the football boys

733
00:26:39,443 --> 00:26:41,243
were picking on this scrawny
little freshman.

734
00:26:41,353 --> 00:26:43,993
Now, Cole reported it to
the administration,

735
00:26:44,083 --> 00:26:45,183
but they didn’t do anything.

736
00:26:45,283 --> 00:26:47,983
So Cole, even though he was
smaller than all of them,

737
00:26:48,093 --> 00:26:50,433
he walked right up to
the biggest jock

738
00:26:50,523 --> 00:26:52,023
and right in
the middle of the cafeteria,

739
00:26:52,123 --> 00:26:53,123
he broke his nose.

740
00:26:53,233 --> 00:26:54,933
Well, those boys never
picked on that kid again.

741
00:26:55,033 --> 00:26:55,933
That’s right.

742
00:26:56,033 --> 00:26:58,203
But it also put a huge
target on my back,

743
00:26:59,203 --> 00:27:00,133
which is why
I’d always hide in here.

744
00:27:01,303 --> 00:27:03,243
Oh, that’s why they
called you Cole the Mole.

745
00:27:03,343 --> 00:27:05,013
Holed up in the library.

746
00:27:05,103 --> 00:27:06,573
Oh, my scrawny hero.

747
00:27:07,043 --> 00:27:07,973
Okay.

748
00:27:09,373 --> 00:27:11,243
I bet I can guess
who the jock was.

749
00:27:12,343 --> 00:27:13,343
You lied about your
whereabouts earlier.

750
00:27:13,453 --> 00:27:15,123
You were both seen
on the second floor.

751
00:27:15,853 --> 00:27:16,553
We were just talking.

752
00:27:17,223 --> 00:27:18,193
With your tongues.

753
00:27:18,283 --> 00:27:19,483
Fine. It’s my fault.

754
00:27:20,723 --> 00:27:23,223
I saw Brock go upstairs,
so I went looking for him.

755
00:27:24,093 --> 00:27:25,663
I’ve had a crush since school,

756
00:27:25,763 --> 00:27:27,433
but Lexi got
to him before I did.

757
00:27:27,533 --> 00:27:29,973
So today, after a few
glasses of champagne.

758
00:27:31,003 --> 00:27:32,573
I saw my chance and I took it.

759
00:27:33,303 --> 00:27:33,903
Why did you lie to us?

760
00:27:34,633 --> 00:27:35,263
Because he’s married.

761
00:27:35,373 --> 00:27:36,503
And my wife would kill me.

762
00:27:37,273 --> 00:27:38,043
So why were you up there?

763
00:27:38,143 --> 00:27:39,843
I went to look at
the trophy case.

764
00:27:40,873 --> 00:27:41,603
The MVP title was
supposed to be mine.

765
00:27:41,713 --> 00:27:43,613
I just wanted to see it again.

766
00:27:43,713 --> 00:27:44,713
Supposed to be yours?

767
00:27:44,813 --> 00:27:46,353
The night before
the championship game

768
00:27:46,453 --> 00:27:47,623
Lexi made us dinner.

769
00:27:47,713 --> 00:27:49,113
She knew all about my allergies.

770
00:27:49,213 --> 00:27:52,883
Corn, tomatoes, peanuts, cats.
You name it, I’m allergic to it.

771
00:27:54,123 --> 00:27:56,423
There’s something in that
meal triggered an attack.

772
00:27:56,523 --> 00:27:58,263
But she didn’t do it on purpose.

773
00:27:58,363 --> 00:27:59,463
No, but it ruined my life.

774
00:27:59,563 --> 00:28:01,333
She couldn’t remember
something that might kill me?

775
00:28:01,433 --> 00:28:02,463
What kind of
a girlfriend is that?

776
00:28:02,563 --> 00:28:03,433
But you didn’t die.

777
00:28:03,533 --> 00:28:04,463
No, but I couldn’t play.

778
00:28:04,563 --> 00:28:06,203
We lost the championship.

779
00:28:06,303 --> 00:28:07,603
Football dreams gone.

780
00:28:09,373 --> 00:28:10,503
And Lexi dumped me.

781
00:28:11,703 --> 00:28:13,543
Please don’t tell my wife.

782
00:28:13,643 --> 00:28:15,113
Are you-
are you okay there?

783
00:28:15,213 --> 00:28:16,783
Yeah. I don’t know what it is.

784
00:28:16,883 --> 00:28:18,883
Something- something must have
set me off.

785
00:28:21,113 --> 00:28:22,983
Tell us again about
your allergies.

786
00:28:24,083 --> 00:28:25,423
Yeah, I was always rooting
for you

787
00:28:25,523 --> 00:28:26,893
to solve your brother’s case.

788
00:28:26,993 --> 00:28:29,163
I’m so glad you were
able to put that to bed.

789
00:28:29,253 --> 00:28:30,653
And, you know, find some peace.

790
00:28:31,393 --> 00:28:32,593
Thank you.
So was I.

791
00:28:33,233 --> 00:28:34,533
You seem happy.

792
00:28:34,633 --> 00:28:35,463
Yeah, I am.

793
00:28:35,563 --> 00:28:36,663
Good.

794
00:28:39,003 --> 00:28:41,203
Hey, I was looking through
these yearbooks

795
00:28:41,303 --> 00:28:42,103
for more awkward Cole photos,

796
00:28:42,203 --> 00:28:43,473
and I found something
interesting.

797
00:28:43,573 --> 00:28:44,643
Okay, well, look,
whatever it is,

798
00:28:45,543 --> 00:28:46,543
I don’t have
any secrets left.

799
00:28:46,643 --> 00:28:50,043
Yeah, you might not,
but I think somebody does.

800
00:28:52,783 --> 00:28:54,953
We need to find Max
and Li immediately.

801
00:29:01,223 --> 00:29:02,593
How are you hanging
in there, Artie?

802
00:29:03,463 --> 00:29:04,133
Shouldn’t be too much longer.

803
00:29:04,963 --> 00:29:06,563
Hey, we got coffee, donuts.

804
00:29:07,293 --> 00:29:08,323
Things could be worse.

805
00:29:08,433 --> 00:29:09,603
Yeah.

806
00:29:10,833 --> 00:29:12,533
Hey. I’m sorry we didn’t
get to your story, man.

807
00:29:13,333 --> 00:29:14,403
Don’t worry.

808
00:29:15,503 --> 00:29:16,673
It’s about a dumb thing
when I was a kid.

809
00:29:16,773 --> 00:29:18,113
Oh, tell me.
I want to hear it.

810
00:29:19,303 --> 00:29:21,573
Well, it’s about me
and my big brother.

811
00:29:23,073 --> 00:29:25,313
After my first
day of high school,

812
00:29:25,413 --> 00:29:27,453
he takes me to a
convenience store to celebrate.

813
00:29:28,453 --> 00:29:29,553
He says it’s gonna
get me something.

814
00:29:30,853 --> 00:29:34,293
He goes over to a rack,
grabs a pack of gum, grins,

815
00:29:35,393 --> 00:29:36,763
drops it in my pocket,
and he walks away.

816
00:29:36,863 --> 00:29:38,103
And you got caught?

817
00:29:39,493 --> 00:29:41,293
Since I wrote it, I realized...

818
00:29:42,633 --> 00:29:44,733
I’ve been taking the rap
for this guy ever since.

819
00:29:44,833 --> 00:29:46,403
Is that what landed you
in here?

820
00:29:46,503 --> 00:29:47,203
Yeah.

821
00:29:48,833 --> 00:29:50,233
Job of his went south.

822
00:29:51,803 --> 00:29:52,773
I took the heat.

823
00:29:52,873 --> 00:29:55,473
Sounds like he’s using you.

824
00:29:57,113 --> 00:29:58,513
That’s the only family I got.

825
00:29:59,443 --> 00:30:00,113
Listen up.

826
00:30:00,213 --> 00:30:01,783
Cell block D will be transferred

827
00:30:02,813 --> 00:30:04,213
to a different
facility in the morning.

828
00:30:04,323 --> 00:30:06,663
We will move you to another
section for the night.

829
00:30:07,153 --> 00:30:07,753
Let’s go.

830
00:30:07,853 --> 00:30:08,783
Well...

831
00:30:09,753 --> 00:30:10,783
Looks like
I’m being transferred.

832
00:30:12,623 --> 00:30:13,653
Thanks for everything, George.

833
00:30:14,493 --> 00:30:15,563
Yeah, it’s been a pleasure.

834
00:30:15,663 --> 00:30:17,703
You know, I have a feeling
the best is yet to come

835
00:30:18,333 --> 00:30:18,663
for both of us.

836
00:30:24,343 --> 00:30:27,813
It’s come to my attention
that some of my pupils

837
00:30:27,913 --> 00:30:29,553
have been caught cheating.

838
00:30:29,643 --> 00:30:31,213
That means you’ve been
called up here

839
00:30:31,313 --> 00:30:32,753
because one of you killed Lexi.

840
00:30:33,913 --> 00:30:35,353
Someone here was lying about
where they were

841
00:30:35,453 --> 00:30:37,793
during what we
like to call in our business,

842
00:30:37,883 --> 00:30:38,783
the murder window.

843
00:30:38,883 --> 00:30:40,453
It’s not actually
what we call it.

844
00:30:40,553 --> 00:30:42,653
All of you were on
the second floor

845
00:30:42,753 --> 00:30:44,753
during that critical 30 minutes.

846
00:30:45,993 --> 00:30:47,593
Uh. Doesn’t that mean we
couldn’t have killed Lexi?

847
00:30:47,693 --> 00:30:48,763
On the contrary, Ziggy.

848
00:30:49,763 --> 00:30:50,933
It’s actually
quite the opposite.

849
00:30:51,033 --> 00:30:53,833
One of you went to the science
lab, unlocked the cabinet,

850
00:30:53,933 --> 00:30:55,003
put on a pair of gloves,

851
00:30:55,103 --> 00:30:57,843
and laced a lip balm
with sodium nitrite,

852
00:30:58,873 --> 00:31:00,743
and made sure
that Lexi applied it.

853
00:31:02,173 --> 00:31:05,613
And you, Brock, you’re the key
to solving this whole mystery.

854
00:31:05,713 --> 00:31:06,543
Me?

855
00:31:07,413 --> 00:31:08,583
Look, I swear I didn’t do it.

856
00:31:08,683 --> 00:31:11,553
Really? Why do you keep
scratching your face like that?

857
00:31:11,653 --> 00:31:14,323
I can’t help it.
I told you, I have allergies.

858
00:31:14,423 --> 00:31:16,623
Dust mites, grass,
lobster, corn.

859
00:31:16,723 --> 00:31:18,723
That’s the funny thing
about allergic reactions.

860
00:31:18,823 --> 00:31:20,823
Sometimes it’s about
what you touch.

861
00:31:20,933 --> 00:31:23,833
And sometimes it’s about
what or who touches you.

862
00:31:24,603 --> 00:31:25,373
Isn’t that right, Hannah?

863
00:31:27,403 --> 00:31:28,233
Oh.

864
00:31:28,333 --> 00:31:29,573
I don’t know what
we’re talking about.

865
00:31:29,673 --> 00:31:33,513
You thought you were so smart
putting on latex gloves.

866
00:31:33,613 --> 00:31:35,813
You thought you wouldn’t get any
fingerprints on the lip balm.

867
00:31:36,783 --> 00:31:37,753
But you did leave
something behind,

868
00:31:37,843 --> 00:31:39,483
even more incriminating,
on Brock.

869
00:31:39,583 --> 00:31:42,353
When you left the lab,
you bumped into Brock.

870
00:31:42,453 --> 00:31:45,293
You knew you had been seen,
so you distracted him

871
00:31:45,383 --> 00:31:46,723
with a kiss.

872
00:31:46,823 --> 00:31:48,893
It was a passionate one, too,
wasn’t it, Brock?

873
00:31:49,893 --> 00:31:50,763
Yeah, it was pretty
hot and heavy.

874
00:31:52,023 --> 00:31:53,863
Like, grab your face in her
hands, hot and heavy?

875
00:31:53,963 --> 00:31:54,993
Oh, yeah.

876
00:31:55,093 --> 00:31:56,763
Sorry to break it
to you, but it was fake.

877
00:31:57,403 --> 00:31:57,833
All a cover up.

878
00:31:58,663 --> 00:31:59,333
What are you talking about?

879
00:31:59,433 --> 00:32:00,463
Fun fact.

880
00:32:00,573 --> 00:32:04,443
Latex gloves are dusted
with cornstarch powder.

881
00:32:04,543 --> 00:32:06,883
Makes it easy to take
the gloves off and on.

882
00:32:08,073 --> 00:32:09,843
And guess who’s allergic
to all things corn-based?

883
00:32:09,943 --> 00:32:11,783
So when you grabbed
Brock’s face,

884
00:32:13,013 --> 00:32:14,383
you got some cornstarch
residue from your fingers

885
00:32:14,483 --> 00:32:15,283
onto his beard.

886
00:32:15,383 --> 00:32:18,553
This is crazy.
Lexi was my bestie.

887
00:32:19,683 --> 00:32:21,923
Do you remember what
your yearbook quote was?

888
00:32:22,393 --> 00:32:23,023
No.

889
00:32:23,123 --> 00:32:24,493
Let me refresh your memory.

890
00:32:24,593 --> 00:32:26,863
Bloom softly.
Burn brightly.

891
00:32:27,863 --> 00:32:30,863
The same as Lexi’s
lip balm slogan.

892
00:32:30,963 --> 00:32:32,663
Except it wasn’t just
the slogan,

893
00:32:32,763 --> 00:32:34,563
it was
the whole product idea.

894
00:32:34,673 --> 00:32:36,643
A lip balm infused with
aromatherapy scents,

895
00:32:36,743 --> 00:32:39,513
each one designed to boost
your energy,

896
00:32:39,603 --> 00:32:41,903
enhance mental clarity,
calm your mood.

897
00:32:43,013 --> 00:32:44,513
And today, Lexi’s
company was just acquired

898
00:32:44,613 --> 00:32:45,543
for millions of dollars.

899
00:32:45,643 --> 00:32:46,613
She stole it from you.

900
00:32:46,713 --> 00:32:47,883
Quick patent search

901
00:32:47,983 --> 00:32:50,483
turned up your application
for a lip balm named Emobalm.

902
00:32:50,583 --> 00:32:51,713
It also had the same slogan

903
00:32:51,823 --> 00:32:54,663
because Lexi also applied and
was granted the patent,

904
00:32:54,753 --> 00:32:55,683
beating you to it,

905
00:32:55,793 --> 00:32:57,863
cheating you out of
the product you created.

906
00:32:57,963 --> 00:32:59,163
She stole your idea
just like

907
00:32:59,263 --> 00:33:01,403
she stole your boyfriend
Brock back in high school.

908
00:33:01,493 --> 00:33:02,593
You’re all out of your minds.

909
00:33:02,693 --> 00:33:03,623
Out of everyone here,

910
00:33:03,733 --> 00:33:05,433
you’re the only one with
a chemistry degree.

911
00:33:05,533 --> 00:33:06,903
That doesn’t prove anything.

912
00:33:07,003 --> 00:33:08,403
But the glove powder does.

913
00:33:08,503 --> 00:33:10,443
So we’re gonna bag your hands
and get you down to the station.

914
00:33:10,543 --> 00:33:13,483
We’ve got a sophisticated
infrared spectrometer

915
00:33:13,573 --> 00:33:16,513
that can detect microscopic
cornstarch residue.

916
00:33:22,783 --> 00:33:24,783
Emobomb was my idea,
not Lexi’s!

917
00:33:24,883 --> 00:33:27,583
I confronted Lexi about it
today and she just laughed.

918
00:33:28,423 --> 00:33:29,593
She told me to get a lawyer.

919
00:33:29,693 --> 00:33:31,693
She knew that I couldn’t
afford to fight it.

920
00:33:31,793 --> 00:33:33,833
You couldn’t let her
win, so you killed her.

921
00:33:35,133 --> 00:33:36,833
You’re under arrest for
the murder of Lexi Chandler.

922
00:33:37,963 --> 00:33:38,993
You know, if it makes
you feel any better,

923
00:33:39,733 --> 00:33:41,403
it is a killer lip balm.

924
00:33:45,073 --> 00:33:46,573
Kebab burrito combo.

925
00:33:48,013 --> 00:33:48,943
Never again.

926
00:33:50,613 --> 00:33:51,443
All right, it’s getting late.

927
00:33:51,543 --> 00:33:52,943
Who’s coming in
for the next shift?

928
00:33:54,013 --> 00:33:54,943
I don’t know.

929
00:33:55,883 --> 00:33:56,953
All right, let me call the--

930
00:33:58,053 --> 00:33:59,553
See if he can swap
us out for some unis.

931
00:34:00,823 --> 00:34:01,823
What are you doing?

932
00:34:01,923 --> 00:34:02,993
We’re not going anywhere.

933
00:34:03,623 --> 00:34:04,523
What’s happening?

934
00:34:04,623 --> 00:34:05,963
Did you really think
that you were just-

935
00:34:07,033 --> 00:34:08,573
you’re just gonna
leave without a word?

936
00:34:09,733 --> 00:34:11,403
So that’s what
this is all about?

937
00:34:12,803 --> 00:34:13,773
Wait a minute.

938
00:34:13,873 --> 00:34:14,703
This wasn’t.

939
00:34:14,803 --> 00:34:16,443
This wasn’t even
a real stakeout, was it?

940
00:34:16,533 --> 00:34:18,233
You were just gonna slip out
the back door

941
00:34:19,073 --> 00:34:20,003
like a raccoon at a buffet.

942
00:34:21,113 --> 00:34:24,053
You know, Simmons,
when you move, I move.

943
00:34:24,913 --> 00:34:26,783
And I know all your passwords.

944
00:34:26,883 --> 00:34:27,683
That was you?

945
00:34:27,783 --> 00:34:28,413
Yeah.

946
00:34:32,383 --> 00:34:32,913
All right.

947
00:34:34,453 --> 00:34:35,893
I’m leaving the precinct.

948
00:34:35,993 --> 00:34:38,733
I put in for
an undercover task force.

949
00:34:38,823 --> 00:34:40,893
Li vouched and
I just got clearance.

950
00:34:40,993 --> 00:34:43,533
Different city, and
I’m gonna need to lay low

951
00:34:43,633 --> 00:34:44,663
for a little while.

952
00:34:46,103 --> 00:34:47,503
How could you do this to me?

953
00:34:48,533 --> 00:34:50,633
I mean, was it Max?
Was it Ellis?

954
00:34:50,743 --> 00:34:52,943
Because I if I need
to beat someone up,

955
00:34:53,043 --> 00:34:54,483
you know, I got it in me.

956
00:34:54,573 --> 00:34:55,913
I was- I was gonna
write you a letter.

957
00:34:56,743 --> 00:34:57,673
A letter?

958
00:34:58,983 --> 00:35:00,823
What is this, 1895?

959
00:35:00,913 --> 00:35:02,383
Why don’t you send
it via carrier pigeon

960
00:35:03,083 --> 00:35:03,653
while you’re at it?

961
00:35:03,753 --> 00:35:04,823
I’m sorry, I...

962
00:35:05,953 --> 00:35:07,693
I didn’t know how
to tell you face to face.

963
00:35:07,793 --> 00:35:09,063
I’ve always been
bad with goodbyes.

964
00:35:09,753 --> 00:35:10,583
Especially with you.

965
00:35:11,623 --> 00:35:12,593
I was hoping you’d be
happy for me.

966
00:35:12,693 --> 00:35:15,733
I am happy for you,
you stupid idiot.

967
00:35:18,733 --> 00:35:20,633
I can’t believe I’m going
to walk into work

968
00:35:20,733 --> 00:35:22,633
and you’re not going to be
there anymore.

969
00:35:23,843 --> 00:35:26,583
See, this is exactly why
I didn’t want to do this.

970
00:35:26,673 --> 00:35:27,743
Then don’t go.

971
00:35:27,843 --> 00:35:29,013
Yates...

972
00:35:30,213 --> 00:35:32,713
I’m sorry. I didn’t find
a better way to tell you.

973
00:35:32,813 --> 00:35:33,783
You still can.

974
00:35:34,613 --> 00:35:35,313
What now?

975
00:35:35,413 --> 00:35:37,983
Yeah, now.
And I want it all.

976
00:35:40,693 --> 00:35:43,093
Yates, you were
the most dedicated

977
00:35:43,893 --> 00:35:47,833
and tenacious and strange.

978
00:35:48,893 --> 00:35:50,933
I mean, you are
very strange, detective.

979
00:35:51,033 --> 00:35:52,133
And you’re my best friend.

980
00:35:53,263 --> 00:35:54,703
And you’re the best partner
I’ve ever had.

981
00:35:56,803 --> 00:35:58,003
Even better than Ellis?

982
00:35:59,073 --> 00:36:01,073
Yes, but don’t
you dare tell him that.

983
00:36:02,343 --> 00:36:04,413
Okay, I won’t tell him.
I’m not going to tell him.

984
00:36:05,643 --> 00:36:06,373
Come here.

985
00:36:10,213 --> 00:36:11,453

00:36:12,153 --> 00:36:12,883
Oh.

987
00:36:14,193 --> 00:36:16,133
Ludo. Thanks.

988
00:36:18,493 --> 00:36:19,933
Are you crying?

989
00:36:20,023 --> 00:36:21,823
Mind your own damn business.

990
00:36:24,203 --> 00:36:24,933
God!

991
00:36:26,103 --> 00:36:27,103
I’m not crying.

992
00:36:28,533 --> 00:36:30,133
Just a little something for me.

993

994

You gotta be?
Are you kidding me?

995
00:36:38,243 --> 00:36:39,683
I had them made special.

996
00:36:39,783 --> 00:36:41,653
Big heads for the big
brain guys.

997
00:36:44,123 --> 00:36:48,663
Yates, and I mean this in the
most platonic way possible,

998
00:36:50,693 --> 00:36:51,863
I love you.

999
00:36:53,063 --> 00:36:54,803
Okay, well, you’ve gone
ahead and made it weird,

1000
00:36:54,893 --> 00:36:55,963
so now we have to leave.

1001
00:36:56,063 --> 00:36:57,063
That’s true.

1002
00:36:57,163 --> 00:36:59,603
Well, you know, I’m gonna
be texting you updates

1003

of what I’m eating every day.

1004

do not disturb annoying.

1005
00:37:02,903 --> 00:37:04,103
Well, you know, I’m gonna
be undercover,

1006
00:37:04,203 --> 00:37:05,703
so it’s probably
best you don’t do that.

1007
00:37:05,803 --> 00:37:07,543
Don’t text me.
I’ll text you.

1008
00:37:09,243 --> 00:37:10,543
I love you so much, Simmons.

1009
00:37:15,583 --> 00:37:16,923
Have you thought about
your undercover name?

1010
00:37:18,283 --> 00:37:19,783
[Simmons] You know, I don’t
think I get to choose that.

1011
00:37:19,883 --> 00:37:21,153
[Yates] Yeah. You’re right.
I’ll pick it.

1012
00:37:22,123 --> 00:37:23,123
How about, uh,
Dirk Thunderpants?

1013
00:37:24,123 --> 00:37:26,093
No, wait. Christophe
von Tacolila.

1014
00:37:26,193 --> 00:37:28,693
Or maybe Trish Skedaddle.
That’s fun.

1015
00:37:33,303 --> 00:37:35,103
You know, there’s no

How am I supposed to know,
I never graduated?

1018
00:37:39,743 --> 00:37:41,443
[Jess] Hey, Cole,
come here for a sec.

1019
00:37:41,543 --> 00:37:43,513
I’ll just be a moment.
You guys want to wait up?

1020
00:37:44,543 --> 00:37:45,173
No. We’ll head back
to the station.

1021
00:37:45,283 --> 00:37:45,783
Okay. I’ll see
you later.

1022
00:37:45,883 --> 00:37:46,583
Good night.

1023
00:37:50,723 --> 00:37:51,553
Jess.

1024
00:37:51,653 --> 00:37:53,723
Cole Ellis,
will you be my prom date?

1025
00:37:55,693 --> 00:37:57,633
[slow tempo music begins

1026
00:37:58,593 --> 00:37:59,523
What’s all this?

1027
00:38:00,493 --> 00:38:01,963
I heard about your
prom experience.

1028
00:38:02,063 --> 00:38:02,993
Did Max tell you?

1029
00:38:03,093 --> 00:38:04,193
I’m a journalist.

1030
00:38:04,303 --> 00:38:06,503
It’s my job to uncover
people’s embarrassing secrets.

1031
00:38:07,603 --> 00:38:09,173
Plus, every single one
of your classmates

1032
00:38:09,273 --> 00:38:10,613
couldn’t wait to tell me.

1033
00:38:11,773 --> 00:38:13,113
It’s definitely a night
I’d like to forget.

1034
00:38:14,213 --> 00:38:16,483
Which is why I think
you deserve a redo.

1035
00:38:18,183 --> 00:38:19,113
Can I have this dance?

1036
00:38:21,013 --> 00:38:21,883
Come on.

1037
00:38:21,983 --> 00:38:23,753
When the cool chick
asks you to dance,

1038
00:38:23,853 --> 00:38:24,583
you gotta do it.

1039
00:38:27,123 --> 00:38:28,053

No, I mean, it’s okay.

Absolutely.

1051
00:38:56,753 --> 00:38:58,453
And I’m kind of glad that
we didn’t have

the typical

1053

Typical is overrated.

1054

Cliques, pep rallies, bad
high school slow dances.

1055
00:39:05,593 --> 00:39:07,763
Exactly. And we got the scars
and street smarts instead.

1056
00:39:07,863 --> 00:39:09,763
A way better
conversation starter.

1057

And way fewer embarrassing
yearbook photos.

What’s in the bags?

1084

Just the essentials.

1085

Enough for us all
to get settled.

1086
00:40:29,043 --> 00:40:29,973
I am settled.

1087
00:40:30,073 --> 00:40:31,273
I thought we already
had this conversation.

1088
00:40:32,083 --> 00:40:33,853
I know, but it’s the plan.

1089
00:40:33,953 --> 00:40:35,253
There are too many variables,

1090
00:40:35,353 --> 00:40:37,153
too many ways
for it to go sideways.

1091
00:40:37,253 --> 00:40:39,393
We can be out of
the country by dawn.

1092
00:40:39,483 --> 00:40:41,383
Varga won’t even know we’re
gone until it’s too late.

1093
00:40:42,423 --> 00:40:44,123
And then what?
We just keep running.

1094
00:40:44,223 --> 00:40:46,293
That’s exactly what
we’re trying to stop.

1095
00:40:47,063 --> 00:40:48,263
No, we stick to the plan.

1096
00:40:49,433 --> 00:40:51,333
I know, but plans change
and this is the new one.

1097
00:40:51,433 --> 00:40:54,073
We can hide as a family.
It is the smartest move.

1098
00:40:54,173 --> 00:40:56,413
And what about Ellis
and my friends?

1099
00:40:56,503 --> 00:40:58,403
If we leave, then we
put them all in danger.

1100
00:40:58,503 --> 00:40:59,903
Ellis is more than capable

1101
00:41:00,003 --> 00:41:01,243
and the rest can
fend for themselves.

1102
00:41:01,343 --> 00:41:03,143
It’s a calculated
risk we have to take.

1103
00:41:03,243 --> 00:41:04,343
And they are not family.

1104
00:41:04,443 --> 00:41:07,913
Maybe not to you, Mom, but
to me, they are my family.

1105
00:41:08,013 --> 00:41:10,253
And I can’t run the risk
of losing you again.

1106
00:41:10,353 --> 00:41:11,183
I won’t.

1107
00:41:11,283 --> 00:41:12,313
You didn’t lose me!

1108
00:41:12,423 --> 00:41:13,863
You left!

1109
00:41:15,123 --> 00:41:16,323
Do you remember the last
thing we said to each other

1110
00:41:16,423 --> 00:41:17,993
before you disappeared?

1111
00:41:18,093 --> 00:41:19,363
No. Why does that matter?

1112
00:41:20,523 --> 00:41:22,063
We had an argument.
A stupid argument about

1113
00:41:22,163 --> 00:41:23,933
how I didn’t take
the chicken out of the freezer

1114
00:41:24,033 --> 00:41:25,373
before you came home.

1115
00:41:25,463 --> 00:41:27,403
You lectured me about
responsibility

1116
00:41:27,503 --> 00:41:29,373
and how I need to
put my family first.

1117
00:41:30,203 --> 00:41:31,103
You just wouldn’t let it go.

1118
00:41:31,203 --> 00:41:32,303
What does this have
to do with anything?

1119
00:41:32,403 --> 00:41:34,203
Can you just help me get--

1120
00:41:34,313 --> 00:41:35,343
I hate you!

1121
00:41:37,173 --> 00:41:39,773
That is the last
thing I said to you.

1122
00:41:41,353 --> 00:41:42,183
I hate you.

1123
00:41:44,523 --> 00:41:45,923
And then I stormed off.

1124
00:41:46,723 --> 00:41:48,123
And I never saw you again.

1125
00:41:49,553 --> 00:41:53,353
For 15 years I carried that
guilt like a stone in my heart.

1126
00:41:55,493 --> 00:41:57,233
And you let me live
with that.

1127
00:41:59,933 --> 00:42:01,803
Oh. Max, honey...

1128
00:42:03,273 --> 00:42:04,713
You were just a kid.

1129
00:42:05,703 --> 00:42:08,073
Those words-- I never
thought I--

1130
00:42:09,413 --> 00:42:12,013
It was just temper, babe.

1131
00:42:12,113 --> 00:42:13,953
Do you know how hard that is
for a kid

1132
00:42:14,053 --> 00:42:16,893
to replay that
memory over and over again?

1133
00:42:18,453 --> 00:42:21,453
There wasn’t a day that went by
that I didn’t think about

1134
00:42:22,623 --> 00:42:24,123
the fact that the last words
I said to my mom.

1135
00:42:24,223 --> 00:42:25,763
Max, don’t. Don’t.

1136
00:42:27,593 --> 00:42:28,963
I didn’t know.

1137
00:42:31,133 --> 00:42:32,203
I am so sorry.

1138
00:42:36,833 --> 00:42:38,073
Can you ever forgive me?

1139
00:42:45,243 --> 00:42:46,313
Max, wait.

1140
00:42:47,283 --> 00:42:48,213
Please.

1141
00:42:53,083 --> 00:42:55,283
