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.
