Original subtitles

In Toronto's war on crime, the worst offenders are pursued by the detectives

the Specialized Criminal Investigations Unit.

These are their stories.

Can I help you? You sure can.

Would you mind moving your car out of the bike lane? Oh, I'm just waiting for

wife. She'll be right back.

A lot of kids out here trying to get to school.

Come on, man. Give me a break. I'm going to be here for a minute.

A lot of things can happen in a minute.

You sit here, little Joey back there, vehicle into traffic, falls off his

Or worse, you get hit by a car.

Police show up, road gets closed, hundreds of commuters get diverted.

Car.

How are you settling in, Eli?

Good.

Accommodation rental is quite nice.

And I'm excited to eat out. The food scene here seems to be really taken off.

That's right. They told me about you. The gourmand, right? All of my

sent over some recommendations.

So, not sure you made it through my brief. I did, Price.

Delay her as much as possible by the end of the quarter.

I'm going to make your company resemble your watch.

Rose gold?

Swiss movement.

Never built something with nine cogs I can work with eight.

I find beauty in simplicity.

Efficiency. Great.

Here's your security pass.

You report to me.

As far as anyone else is concerned...

You're not even here. Hmm.

That'll change soon enough.

My experience, bad news travels fast.

Quinn?

Sorry I'm late.

I had to drop my kid off at a friend's house.

Took me a minute to realize the reservation was under Grace.

My middle name.

Subterfuge, it's a bit odd.

Is it hard to keep the two versions of yourself separate?

Well, I actually quite like it. It makes me feel powerful.

Oh, I'm sorry. We didn't order this. It's from the kitchen.

They know me here.

Thank you.

Wyatt, what's your team's customer acquisition cost?

$70 per customer, give or take.

And your conversion rate?

Currently it's 1%, but it's been a slow quarter.

Did I pass?

It's not a tat.

But what I can tell you is that your team's conversion rate...

10 % less than your competitor.

Your CAC is twice as expensive, and your CLV drops to 12 % after the holiday

season.

You know what they say.

A fool uses statistics the way a drunkard uses a lamppost. For support,

illumination.

Anything else you'd like to add to your evaluation on the record?

Nothing personal.

The data speaks for itself.

Excuse me, sir.

Oh, my God. Are you hurt?

No.

Okay.

That... That was a lot.

Sorry, folks. Why don't we wash out this bad taste with some champagne?

Yes. Hey.

Bubbles? Round.

Are you okay? Yeah?

Yeah, yeah. Biggest tragedy is not finishing that delicious cheesecake.

Okay, that we can do. We will get you two. Is there anything else we can do to

help?

I would love a tour of the kitchen if possible.

Yeah, that would be our pleasure, of course. Let me just, let me get you a

table in the meantime.

Thank you. Come with me. I'm Taya.

Eli. Nice to meet you.

Victim is Eli Parker, 30 years old, B .C., driver's license.

Cleaning woman who found him at 7 a .m. said that he'd been at this rental for a

month.

Killer hits him with the bookend, suffocates him with a pillow.

Looks like they came in through the patio door.

What are you writing your detective boards?

Next month.

Good luck.

Killer bashes him in the head. He's hurt.

Bad, but he's not dead yet. Why not finish the job with another blow?

Faster than a suffocation.

Well, neighbors are pretty close. Guy screams for help. The killer panicked

put a pillow on him. Lights out.

A B &E gone wrong?

Short -term rental. Not the smartest place for a turnover. Very few

He didn't even take the laptop.

Normally, thieves have a methodical system for going through a drawer. Start

the bottom, move to the top, but this is overkill.

Yeah, like the B &E.

So usually the trick is to break and enter through the same passageway, but

killer didn't come through the patio.

After they broke the door, they would have tracked glass inside, but I don't

any shards on the carpet.

The break -in was staged, as was the turnover, because our killer wanted to

the fact that they walked through the front door.

Meaning they had a key, or Eli here opened the door for them. We know if he

here on business.

Could be.

With a sight of pleasure, Borealis Guide.

That is out of my price range. A rare splurge at a world -class restaurant

the soul aflame.

Okay.

Any idea who was last to see Eli Parker live?

We're still working on that. Great.

Yeah, put him back.

Well, it might be Quinn Hartnett because Eli missed five calls from him last

night.

Eli was a client.

I'm a wine importer. I was helping him build out a cellar back home.

Five calls after 8 p .m.

It's not exactly business hours.

I was able to source a special bottle for him.

I needed his go -ahead before purchasing.

Must have been hell of a Beaujolais.

Can we come inside, please?

We slept together a couple of times.

We met at a bar. We both liked good food, so we had a few dinners. It was

stupid, but last week he ghosted me. I called him. I wanted some closure.

Where were you last night?

At Zanetta, an Italian place on King. I was celebrating a friend's 40th.

What else do you know about Elias?

He worked for a massive company. He was pulling 80 -hour weeks.

Last we spoke, he said that he was about to make some enemies at work.

Our victim was a business management consultant at McQueen? Yeah, the company

that advises other companies on how to run more efficiently.

So Eli's boss said he was one of McQueen's top consultants because he was

relentless and uncompromising.

So we have a young, overpaid victim whose purpose it was to tell older, more

experienced employees how to do their jobs better. That will buy you a long

of enemies.

Eli's from the McQueen Vancouver office, but he's practically a nomad living out

of a suitcase, ready to be deployed to a new city at the drop of a hat for

months at a time. He's been stationed in Toronto for the last month at an e

-commerce giant by the name of Solara.

He's been working on a labor analysis for the company.

What were his findings?

I'm sure he hadn't finished his report.

Yeah, he was last seen leaving Solara's offices last night at 6 .30 p .m. So

that, compared with De Silva's pathology report, places his time of death

between 9 p .m. and midnight.

Anything else about this man, aside from his job?

Yeah.

So in his scarce spare time, Eli would use his expense account to fund his one

parent hobby.

Eating out at the city's best restaurants. It's a credit card

Man after my own heart.

Edgeless.

PSP. Aloe. Dry fish.

These are all Borealis. That's not what I say for a birthday or an anniversary

to go here. Not me.

Look, I like food as much as the next guy, but take me to Burger Drops. I'm a

happy girl.

Fine dining.

Pump. Some people like to eat with cutlery.

Little pump is okay once in a while, but, uh, no, this guy, he'd go back to

of these places two or three times.

I'd be a regular at any of these places if I could. For Eli to have an expense

account as bottomless as this, he'd have to be one hell of a consultant.

Looks like Eli brought his expertise and scrutiny to everything he did. I found

his blog on an open tab on his computer. Check out these posts.

An efficient market is a happy one.

Oligopoly of Umbrian truffles.

Anaxagoras, ancient Greek philosopher, had a deep gut.

What's that post about?

It wasn't published yet. It's still a work in progress.

55, 92, 136. Was that a hidden password?

That asterisk denotes multiplication, but if so, he needs to get his math

checked. Well, everything has a natural explanation.

Don't see Eli as the type to make a careless mistake.

I was also able to crack into his work file. Here's what he was working on for

Talara.

Oh,

what are we looking at?

These groups represent all 300 employees, but he gave them code names.

He was analyzing the workflow of the entire company.

He was trying to figure out who to fire.

Kiwi Wing Group. A combined income of six million dollars.

I like this kid. He's smart.

Kiwis are flightless birds, hence the Kiwi wing is redundant.

Eli wasn't just any consultant.

He was a corporate executioner. Question is, did someone kill him before he

could have them fired?

As Chief Transformation Officer, it's my job to optimize Solara.

Reorganize. With AI coming for us, we need to be agile, lean.

So you hired Eli to essentially help you figure out who to fire.

Eli was tasked with de -layering.

Hey, de -layering, is that what we're calling it now? Okay, who all knew that

Eli was de -layering?

Myself and the board.

Well, I think the board got out.

Cecil. That was the name of Mary Antoinette's executioner.

Come on, Price.

New face, hermetically sealed temporary office, personal printer. I think you

underestimate the intelligence of your employees.

Eli interviewed everyone at our company.

He said it was just for analytics, but it's possible that some may have figured

it out.

We're going to need to see the employees within KiwiWings.

The what?

The name of the group. Eli was planning to delay her six million in salary.

Eli never gave me any list. He was still conducting evaluations and was supposed

to present his findings at a board meeting tomorrow.

Oh. But I'm sure a smart CTO like you would have nudged Eli in the direction

where best to trim the fat.

Yeah. Yeah. Middle management.

It's where we have a lot of redundancies.

And did any of them get the feeling that Eli was coming after them? Did they

feel the shadow of the blade?

Yeah. Wyatt Turner.

After his interview yesterday, he waited outside until Eli left for the night.

Security had to intervene.

I just wanted him to cut the crap and have an honest conversation yesterday.

That's it. Is that why security was dispatched to intervene?

I was frustrated.

Fair enough. But that's all.

I mean, do you know how much I make?

$200 ,000.

I told Eli he should be hunting whales and not wasting his time chasing

Sounds like you should be infuriated learning some kid is in charge of your

future. He said that if I deserve my job, that I have no problem and that

the data would speak for itself.

When was the last time you saw Eli?

After work.

I did want to talk more, you know, to make my case.

But he said he had a meeting and he hopped on his bike and left.

Husband was his only alibi at the time of the murder, so he's still a suspect.

What do you got?

Eli's bike share Toronto account.

Seems right after his conversation with Wyatt, he picked up a bike outside

Salara, dropped it at Harvard and Spadina at 7 p .m.

What if Wyatt followed him?

To where?

Eli didn't have any credit charges on Monday.

But remember, he did...

He did have this in his pocket. Pineapple.

Symbol of hospitality.

Or swingers.

Oh, I know where that's from.

I pray it's the former.

Isadora.

My favorite new restaurant got its star in its first year. Helmed by a bad girl

chef turned industry darling.

And they post their menus daily. Oh my God, today there's sweetbreads. Oh, it's

good. Oh, yeah.

Look at the top.

Yesterday we were slammed.

7 p .m. Eli Parker.

Two tasting menus and a travel supplement.

Yeah, they were balling out right up until the blow -up. I had to comp the

entire room drinks. If I made that over, it cost me $500 out of pocket.

So you're the owner. I am living the dream.

One day at a time.

So this blow -up, what happened exactly?

I have no idea. You should ask my brother Jonah. He's the GM and my eyes

ears at the dining room.

After Eli's guest paid the bill, something changed.

He got loud and aggressive and this guy just lifts the table on the way out.

Is it good?

No, no. He was white and had a nice suit.

Well, maybe Eli took Wyatt's advice instead of Jason Minow's. Kind of got

himself a way out.

His name is Price Chambers. Yeah, that's the guy.

When you see him, tell him he owes us a new set of plates.

So, Price was Kiwi Wing and Eli was about to tell the board to fire him.

No better way to get off the chopping block than to kill the executioner.

Eli sandbagged me.

He picked that pricey restaurant and waited until after I paid the bill to

his evaluation.

I couldn't believe it. I hired him.

What he was doing was illegal.

No.

Eli reported to the board, so if he thought you were redundant, he'd be well

within his right to tell them. Well, I begged him to drop it, but the kid was

still stubborn. He kept on going on and on about how he had an obligation to

share his findings.

I mean, who says that?

A man with a strong moral compass.

For the record, Solara would be nothing without me. Yeah, well, we'll find out

about that soon enough, because we do feel an inclination to share Eli's

findings with Solara.

And why would you do that?

Because we can.

So after you had your little tantrum at Isadora, where were you?

Drinking.

Trying to figure out my next move.

I just got off the phone with Barbara Val.

Price was there until last call, hours after Eli's murder.

You know, I've been thinking. We've been so focused on Solara.

But at the end of the day...

Eli's most important meeting was outside the office.

So all of Eli's fancy meals, you're thinking they were more than just

bread? Well, he's in a new city. Who's he dining with night after night? What

all these dinners were just important meetings?

Well, more business gets done over restaurant linens than boardroom tables.

I was able to pull footage from several of the restaurants Eli visited.

Two were onto something. He dined out with the same person every single night.

I guess he really was just there for the food.

Alone, alone, night after night, no phone, no book.

It's my nightmare.

Well, I'm like you, Don Juan.

Some of us don't get the choice.

Play that back.

Hey, Bateman.

Hungry?

All in all, underwhelmed.

That's what you get for a two -star lunch.

How was everything?

Mm -mm.

Terrific. Thank you so much.

I was able to pull up Eli Parker's reservation file for that night. It's

course dinner.

Can I ask, did he order one glass of wine and one non -alcoholic beverage?

Mm -hmm. And did he mention a dietary restriction on the day rather than in

advance? Yeah.

How'd you know?

Lucky guess.

Thank you.

I didn't want to risk sounding daft before, but I've always been fascinated

the elusive nature of the Borealis inspector, you know. They frequently

curveball at the kitchen to see how they react, and they've been known to drop

their napkins to see how long it takes front of house to notice.

I'm thinking, what if Eli didn't eat out night after night for fun?

What if he was working?

Lines up.

Inspectors are anonymous. They all have day jobs.

I actually got my own guide and duplicated Eli's. He bookmarked eight

restaurants that he visited.

He could have been scoping them out for next year's guide. They rate each

restaurant yearly to make sure they maintain their stars.

Not to be the odd gourmand out, but I just want to do a quick temperature

A restaurant guide. We think this connects to Eli's death. How?

The restaurant guide.

Toronto's restaurant industry is cutthroat.

Fifteen billion dollars.

Billion. Yearly in revenue. Big money.

Big money backing some of these top spots.

Having a star or not can mean the difference between a restaurant thriving

being forced to close.

One of the places he snubbed could have killed him out of revenge.

Before we entertain this theory too much longer, why don't we just go straight

to the source?

You're putting me in a very difficult position.

Revealing the identity of an inspector would compromise Borealis' core tenet of

anonymity. Well, unfortunately, we're going to need to insist.

Because failing to investigate murder would compromise our core purpose.

Investigating murder.

This is our victim, Eli Parker.

That's awful.

You seem like a lovely man.

Yeah, that's what people have been saying. We're going to need a list of

restaurants that he covered.

How long was he an inspector?

Eli wasn't an inspector.

Pardon me?

That man was never an inspector for Borealis.

I'm sorry, how did you recognize him?

He came by a few weeks ago. He was a consultant for McQueen.

What did he want?

He was working on a project for a food group, wanted to be put in touch with an

inspector who covered fine dining establishments for market research.

And you connected him?

Yes. Well, what about your core tenet of anonymity?

For a modest fee and assigned NDA, we made an

exception. I connected him with an inspector who focuses on fine wine.

Who is this inspector?

She's been with us for five years.

Quinn Hartnett.

You wanted to talk?

Yeah.

The police were here asking questions about Eli. That man?

I found out about your little side hustle.

I just... I wanted to tell you the same thing that I told him I don't want

anything to do with it, and I never did.

Well, it's too late to back out now, isn't it? You have no idea what you're

talking about. You have no idea what you're stepping into.

Free shifts.

Do you want to invite your friend for family dinner?

No need.

I was just leaving.

Hey, I just got off the phone with our guy from McQueen.

He said Eli never worked for any food company.

He was bluffing. What, using his credentials to gain access to the

secret in the restaurant industry? Who are the inspectors? Quinn Hartman?

Why?

Eli wasn't an inspector, but he sure was acting like one. Well, he was, wasn't

he? All those dinners, running tests, everything.

It was like he was checking someone's homework, like he...

was inspecting the inspectors.

Do you think he was looking into Quinn?

That blog post Eli was drafting.

Anaxagoras, among other things, was one of the first individuals

to recognize the sun as a burning star.

Those asterisks.

They weren't shorthand for multiplication.

They were Borealis stars.

One star, 55, 55 ,000.

Two stars, 92 ,000. Three stars, 136 ,000. This isn't a password or an

This is Quinn's price list.

I told you, I called Eli because...

We had an affair, and he ghosted me.

Could you remind me where you two met?

At a bar.

But just a chance meeting, was it?

You sure about that, Quinn?

Okay, because we spoke to your boss at Borealis, and he seemed to think that he

set you up with Eli for market research.

Now, I don't mean to be salacious here, but I'm starting to wonder if you even

slept with him.

That's genius. That's absolute genius. No, it's not, really. It's half smart,

you know, lying about an affair to cover up something juicier.

I don't follow.

Oh, sure you do.

Eli played you and uncovered your operation, selling Borealis stars,

the low, low price of $55 ,000.

Not in a chatty mood?

We could have financial crimes come in with their calculators and spreadsheets.

If you think we're fun, they are a party.

Okay, okay.

I... Eli asked me if I was

open to giving his client's restaurant a favorable rating in exchange for a

bonus.

For brevity's sake, we call that bribery, extortion, fraud.

But potato, potato.

All right, Quinn, break it down for me.

I own a restaurant. I want to get it in a book or whatever. What do I do? For

the record, I don't solicit.

They come to me.

They come to you in person?

No.

No, it's more discreet. They send the money through Paysafe.

It's anonymous.

Until Eli uncovered your scheme.

The night of the murder, you called Eli five times, and now we know it wasn't

over a broken heart.

Why did you call him?

A restaurant that I sold a star to told me that Eli was on to me.

Was it Isadora?

Yeah.

The chef, Taya?

He texted me, freaking out.

So I called Eli to run some damage control.

But he didn't pick up.

So you called him again and again and again, and then you beat him ass with

No, I never saw him.

I was at... Senado, another client of yours.

I'm telling you, I was there. I can connect you with the chef.

The manager showed me the tapes at Queen's Table.

They ordered six bottles of wine and stayed till 2 a .m. That does sound like

quite the party.

Borealis is conducting an internal investigation into the fraud, and I get

impression it's going to be very hush -hush.

Yeah, but there's still another angle here, though.

If news of the scandal broke, the chefs who bought a star might be destroyed.

Higher.

What are you doing here?

Look, I just want to see Taya. No.

Get out now!

Whenever you show up, I'm not picking up the pieces. Jonah, stop!

You need to leave right now.

Yeah.

You know where to find me.

So what would he want? Why would he be here?

I don't know. When was the last time you saw him? Ages, like a year ago.

You promise?

I promise.

What?

Ty, you have been doing very well.

Don't laugh. This is serious. You've been doing very well.

But you could lose this in a second. I know.

I won't let that happen.

Ty, if it's wrong.

George Brown graduate, rose the ranks, working in some of the city's top

kitchens. Maven, Grey Gardens, Giulietta. But in 2022, she was fired

was caught using cocaine at work.

And this is all the Giulietta? No, Songbird, keep up.

Toronto Life chronicles her downfalls. The industry loves to tear down our

idols. Exposes with former co -workers. Turns out Ty's drug problem was very big

indeed. She would pay off drug dealers using conned meals, bottles of wine,

money from the tail. So, after Songbird, she ODs, she almost dies, she goes to

rehab, she gets clean. She becomes the face of sobriety in Toronto's kitchen.

Organize pre -work runs rather than post -shift partying. She makes straight

edge look so cool. She opens her own place.

Isadora. Wait.

I'm not even halfway through.

This article on going clean. Listen.

My work as a chef gives me both discipline and motivation to stay clean.

a purpose in life, a goal to strive for, has been instrumental in my journey.

Well, it sounds like if the scandal broke, she'd lose a lot more than just

job. Yeah.

When Eli came back for a tour of the kitchen, I thought he was a fan.

You know, like handshakes, selfies, the usual.

Do people do that?

But that didn't happen. He said an inspector sold us a star and that

he was going to try and expose her operation.

What did he tell you at all?

I don't know.

He said he wanted me to get ahead of the news or something.

Well, I imagine that was difficult to hear, that Eli was going to jeopardize

your entire career.

Yeah, it is, especially because I didn't buy a star.

I was trying to tell him that, but he wouldn't listen.

Well, why did you reach out to Quinn Hartnett? So she could tell him that I

didn't buy a star.

Show me proof I bought it.

The app that Quinn Hartnett uses to get paid, it's anonymous. It doesn't keep

records. Okay, great. So it's one crooked inspector's word against mine?

Nailed it.

Okay. I can prove it. I have... Jonah!

Can you please tell them Isadora's bank account, the books, everything?

Just please, just take a look.

I've put everything into this restaurant. I know where every dollar's

It's right there. Yeah, can't wait.

But we'd also like to know where you were Monday night between 9 p .m. and

midnight.

I'm here. I'm here. I worked till midnight at the earliest. Why, what are

implying? Can anyone else account for that? Yeah, I can. I mean, she was the

last... One here.

Oh, forgive me. I'm going to need evidence to confirm your protective

brother's opinion.

The prep schedule.

She's here. Every minute. What's the count? Hey, I... Oh.

Okay, this is pretty tight.

So, judging by Monday's schedule, you were here prepping a stock from

10 p .m. to midnight.

Why so late?

It is for our lobster pasta. It's a 10 -hour process. We cook it overnight.

Sounds delicious.

You know, my boss, she's a big fan, got me onto your socials every day posting a

new menu, each one more delicious than the last.

But the menu for the day after Eli visited your restaurant, well, it seems

the lobster went walkabout and was replaced by something else. Now

Dozens of variables, reasons, factors as to why a dish gets changed. But I'm

guessing that you didn't make the stock because you weren't here until closing.

So I'll ask you to answer my partner's question one more time. Where were you

between 10 p .m. and midnight Monday night?

I was, well...

While you think of an answer, we're going to have to ask you to accompany us

down to the station because we've got a few more questions for you.

Your victim Eli Parker was going to expose a crooked Borealis inspector,

effectively destroying Ty's restaurant in the process.

You're positing she left Isidore early to kill him, basing this on very

reasoning about the cooking time of a thought.

Nebulous or not, the second we broke her alibi, she clammed up.

Okay, but she still claims she never bought the star, correct? Oh, come on.

She's saving face.

Where are you on proof of purchase?

Isadora's bank account is clean, but we'll keep digging. You know, there's a

dozen ways she could have got the money.

Yeah, until then, we can't say for certain she bought it.

But even if she didn't, she still got motive to kill Eli. I mean, he was about

to name her as one of the most corrupt restauranteurs in the city.

She'd lose everything.

What about access?

Taya left Isadora an hour after Eli.

How does she know where to find him?

Oh, Eli's restaurant booking account.

So to secure a table at Isadora, he needed to leave a local address.

And Taya has access to the services back end.

Black pressure.

See no breaks.

It's not just a restaurant.

Did anyone explain to you why we named it Isadora?

No.

Isadora was my mom's name.

She was the greatest cook.

And after she died, I would remember her through her recipes. So

Isadora is basically her epitaph.

Like we made the curtains out of her old tablecloth.

and we play her favorite music, and that man was trying to take that all away

from me for something I didn't do. So I, to answer your question, I, like, have

no idea where he went after he left the kitchen.

Then where did you go that night?

Um, I was incredibly overwhelmed, and it was weak

and dumb, but I met up with a friend.

And we did a bump and then a line and then

more.

Why didn't you tell us this before?

Your brother.

I didn't want him to know.

I've already put him through way too much. He's the one who found me when I

OD'd. He performed CPR on me until the ambulance came. Like, he saved my life.

That's why he works at the restaurant.

I never thought about it like that before, but... Yeah, I mean, yeah.

You're right.

Well, we're just going to need your friend's contact information to verify

you were indeed together between 10 p .m. and midnight.

There's no point. Like, we did blow in his car and then I left. I was out of my

head. I was walking around all night until the sun came up.

Leaving you unaccounted for during the murder.

Taya, that is not good.

Can I go now?

Well, you're not under arrest.

I've got a kitchen to run, so...

Frank, this whole

case seems to be some proof that Taya bought a star, right?

We've got to follow the money. Exactly, and there's only a few ways to gain

wealth.

Earn, borrow, steal, or inherit.

Hi, this is Mom.

Here's a will.

She left Taya $80 ,000.

Yeah. You haven't even gotten to the best part.

Please remember every service matters.

We have built something incredible.

And if for some reason people say otherwise, they are dead wrong. Because

the hard work and the passion that all of you put into this place. And no

one can take that away from you. Okay, so have a great shift.

Yes, ma 'am.

Okay, have a great shift.

Thank you. Family meals in the prep kitchen. Get ready. Get what you need.

Yeah, sorry to interrupt your family dinner.

Jeff, my partner has a few questions for you. Would you mind if we gave them

some privacy, please?

It's fine. Go ahead.

Seems like a great team you got there.

Yeah, they rock.

Taya, do you ever wonder why Eli tipped you off?

You see, we spoke with the rest of Quinn's clients. None of them heard

You want me to tell you what Quinn said?

What? She said it's because you're a restaurant.

Because you actually deserve this.

That's right.

Quinn knew it. Eli knew it. I think everyone who's ever walked through these

doors knows it.

Thank you again.

what this conversation is for.

Do you believe me?

We found something in your mother's will that makes that difficult.

She left $80 ,000 to you and to Jonah.

Yes, she did, but I don't have access to that money, which is fair, I guess. I

mean, like, she didn't trust me. I was in rehab at the time. Jonah wasn't.

And just under a year ago, he withdrew $55 ,000 at the exact price of your

How much longer do you think?

I'm sure it won't be long. It's just a few questions.

She told you everything already.

Yes, well, the problem with that, Jonah, is she lied.

See, we know where she was on the night of the murder.

And you know I wasn't here.

Where was she?

Why don't you go ask her?

You bought a cigar?

No, no, no. Don't. Don't. Don't play with me.

They have proof.

You took it out of Mom's money.

I wanted to earn that. Why did you do that?

Everybody's cheating, Tyra. Everybody is cheating. No, they're not. No,

literally every place is cheating. Their game is rigged. People, like, do this.

You get so focused, like, doing your thing and the art thing and picking up a

deal with Tweezers that you could... I did this for you. I did this for you.

Why?

Donna, why was it so important that you help her in this way? Because this

restaurant is everything to her.

Yeah, it keeps you stable. It keeps you sober. It keeps you... Alive? Yeah,

actually, yeah, it keeps you alive.

I am keeping myself alive from the work that I'm doing every day. It's not fair

that you're... You know, it's not fair fighting you on the ground.

Not breathing. Covered in your own puke. It was so long ago. It wasn't. She did

all this to ensure your sister's sobriety.

Do you think it worked?

Ty?

It was one time.

It was one time. I'm so sorry.

It was only one time, but I'm back on the program now. And I'm not going to do

it again. It was never just one time with you.

Please don't be mad at me, Jonah.

It's all right.

It's all right. It's all right.

You'll get it.

Hey, you'll get it.

I haven't fasted this before.

I can do it again, and we're going to be okay.

I promise.

We're not going to be okay.

Yeah, we're going to be okay. It's totally fine.

It's not. It's fine. I'm sorry.

I can't.

What

happened?

I can't.

Yeah, you can't. You gotta tell me what happened.

What happened with Eli?

I just wanted to talk to him.

I just... Oh, my God, I just wanted to talk to him, and he just... Listen, he

just kept talking about, like, the bigger picture and, like, the system and

efficiencies and nothing's personal. But, like, this is literally personal.

is our lives, and he's ruining it.

It was an accident.

It was an accident. Like I said, like you said, like we said...

We fought.

And then she started screaming.

And I just wanted them to stop screaming.

Sorry, Ty, please. I'm sorry. I love you. No, it's okay. It's my fault. I,

Don't.

You were right not to trust me. You're just trying to take care of me.

Um, yeah.

This is my fault.

Taya, please.

I'm sorry. I did it.

Taya, please.

Wait, wait, wait. Don't take him away.

What did they say?

That you're only a thick of your secrets?

Secrets grow in the dark.

We just have to shine a light on them.
