What do we got?

Body ID is William Taylor.

His wife Zoe woke up at 4 .30 in the morning next to a dead husband.

Gunshots at the head. She's saying she didn't see or hear anything.

Guess they're both heavy sleepers.

You're a heavy sleeper.

Would you sleep through a gunshot?

How do you know I'm a heavy sleeper? You snore through every briefing.

Do not.

Is it loud?

Good morning, ma 'am.

I'm Detective Walker.

I'd like to ask you some questions.

I already told them what happened.

I'd like to hear it for myself.

I understand this is a difficult time for you.

But the sooner we get all the information, the sooner we'll find out

this.

Okay.

Why don't we start from the beginning?

I woke up.

I don't even know why. It just felt like something was wrong.

And then I went to wake William up.

And that's when I realized... That's when I realized what happened.

You didn't hear or see anything in the room when you woke up?

No, it was dark.

What does your husband do for work?

He owns a small private wealth management company. Do you have any idea

may have wanted to hurt your husband?

Anyone who would have benefited from his death?

Did he ever mention any disgruntled employees, clients, business partners?

What about you? What do you do?

I'm a stay -at -home mom.

He took really good care of us.

Any ex -girlfriends in his life you're still aware of?

Just his ex -wife, Robin, and Jess's biological mother.

So you're a stay -at -home stepmom.

We got full custody of Jess when she was five years old.

I love that girl as if she were my own.

So you and William have been together for quite a while then.

Twelve years.

Nine of those married.

The field GSR turned out negative.

GSR.

Gunshot residue.

Is that what you were swiping my hands for?

Mm -hmm.

Do you think that I did this?

We're just being thorough, ma 'am.

Okay, how long is all of this going to take?

CSI still needs a few more hours.

Then the coroner will take the body, go over to the medical examiner, at which

point we'll be out of your hair.

Here. This is the number for a bioremediation specialist.

They'll clean up everything for you so you don't have to.

Ask for Tom.

He's good.

You might want to think about staying at friends for a few days if it's easier.

I'd have to pack.

That's okay. We'll put a car out front.

They'll patrol every 48 hours.

I'll be right back.

No sign of forced entry and nothing reported film.

Did they find any treads?

Nothing good yet. We're looking at a potential boot print.

Any cameras beside the one out front?

No, but we're pulling up the footage now.

Don't bother.

I have a feeling they came through the back.

Think somebody let them in?

All left it unlocked.

Whoever did this knew their way around, knew how to get in, and didn't waste

time. So someone close.

No gunpowder residue.

No murder weapon at the scene. No motive.

I'm not saying that. There's always a motive for the spouse.

It's not enough to take her in.

All right.

Well, keep an eye on her. Make sure she doesn't leave town.

Cyber forensics. Clone the office computer.

Take it down to HQ and see what that turns up.

Did the daughter say anything?

Not a whole lot. She's pretty broken up.

I'll talk to her.

Jess? It's Walker.

I'm sorry about your dad.

Thanks.

I just have a couple of questions, and then I'll be out of your space.

Okay?

Sure.

Did you see or hear anything out of the ordinary last night?

Sort of.

I heard someone in the hallway.

What exactly did you hear?

It sounded like a floorboard.

That's super freaky. Dad always said I'd never be able to sneak out of the

house.

Did your mom and dad ever fight?

No.

Don't go along with everyone, even Robin.

You're a biological mother.

Did you split your time with her?

No.

Mom and Dad had full custody.

Robin just got visitation rights.

How often did you see Robin?

I don't know.

Not a lot.

That's not a lot.

Every other week.

About a year ago.

And before last year?

She wasn't around much.

That said, she did work on getting better.

Well, if you can think of anything else, or if you just need someone to talk

to...

me everything you can on the custody battle.

The ghost of you It

lingers in the morning

This can't be true

It came

without

Jeff? Made your favorite?

Thank you.

I'm not really hungry, though.

Look, I know it may feel like it'll be a while before you can eat, but I think

you should at least try today.

I don't think I can.

Maybe pretend like it's an assignment from Coach David to keep your running

strength up.

That was Beth's favorite, too.

I don't understand.

Why is all this happening? Why did they kill him? It doesn't make sense. Why

would someone kill someone like him? I don't understand.

I don't know, babe.

I don't know.

I don't know, baby.

I don't know.

Can I help you?

Robin Miller?

Detective Walker.

May I come in?

Yes.

I can't believe it.

I just saw him last week.

How was your relationship with William?

Were you on good terms?

Yeah, I mean, I thought we were pretty good co -parents.

It didn't bother you that he had full custody?

Of course it did.

But at the time when the judge granted it, they knew I wasn't capable of being

the best mother for my daughter.

Why's that?

A couple years after Jessica was born, I had a really bad car accident.

They prescribed me some pain medication, and I got hooked.

Pretty bad.

I tried to stop, but it just got worse and worse.

Eventually they stopped giving me the meds, and... I turned to...

harder drugs.

And that's when William left me.

That must have been pretty hard for you.

It was.

It took me nearly a decade, but...

I finally got clean.

I just celebrated my two years.

Did you ever refile for joint custody?

I did last year, but the judge denied it. I was given visitation twice a

I can imagine it would have been much easier if William weren't in the

Are you suggesting I killed him?

Where were you last night?

I was with my boyfriend, Dean.

We were at the rude dog playing pool with some friends.

How late were you there?

I don't know. It was pretty late.

After midnight?

Yeah, we stayed till close.

Did you guys go anywhere else after?

No, we came back home.

Dean lives here with you?

Yeah.

And how long have you guys been together?

Three years.

Where's he now?

At a job over on Packer.

He's a repairman.

What about you?

I'm a florist.

I manage the shop down on Grove Street.

Did you ever miss the life you lived with William?

You mean did I miss the money?

I was never with men for the money.

I met William before he had his company.

Unlike Zoe.

Do you think she married him for his wealth?

I don't know.

but after she married him, she never had to work again, and she never did.

She did spend a lot of time with the school, though.

You should just ask David.

David? Jessica's track coach.

She made the team her freshman year.

Zoe and David wound up spending a lot of time together.

All right, Jess, I'll be back.

Morning, Miss Taylor.

Got a set?

I was actually just leaving.

That's okay. It won't take long.

Can we talk inside?

Yeah,

sure. Come in.

Can I offer you anything?

I'll take water.

So, how are you holding up?

Uh... Well...

Comes in waves.

Trying to be strong for Jeff.

May I?

No, please.

Yeah.

Doesn't seem real at times.

I lost my sister when I was in college.

I'm so sorry.

Thanks.

But she had terrible tasting men.

She always picked the bad ones.

And then she met the lover of her life.

Sam.

God,

he was fun.

We were so relieved that she finally found a good man.

And then... I'll never forget that phone call.

I had to ID the body.

I saw the marks on her neck.

Whoever did that to her watched her die a slow and painful death.

God, I'm so sorry.

The police had no leads.

Not for months.

Not until he did it again to his next girlfriend.

I would never have thought, not in a million years,

That it would have been Sam.

I applied to join the force the next week.

It's funny.

Ten years as a detective, and I've found no matter what it looks like,

it's almost always the spouse.

Why don't you tell me about David?

David?

Justice Track Coach?

David Hill?

What about him?

You see him often?

Yeah, I see him at just the track meets and sometimes practice.

You ever see him outside of school?

What are you getting at?

How close are you guys?

Would you say you're friends?

Yeah, we're friends. We're friendly.

We're friends.

Mrs. Taylor.

If I find that you're lying to me or keeping something from me, that wouldn't

a very good look for you.

One thing you should know about me, every case is personal.

And I always find the killer in the end.

Have a good day.

I'll be in touch.

Have a good day. Yeah, yeah, yeah. All right, I love you. Bye. Bye.

Are you sure you're ready?

I'll be fine. I promise.

I'm so sorry. I can't even believe it.

Thanks. Thank you.

Keep an eye out for Jeff. She's going to need your normal support today. I

always got her back. She knows that.

Call me if you need anything.

Okay. I will.

This is Taylor. I need you to come in for more questioning.

No. I'm afraid so.

Am I under arrest?

No. But this will go a lot easier if you just cooperate.

Zoe, we gotta go.

You can follow me to the station.

When

were

you going to tell us about this?

About what?

Your husband's life insurance policy.

I don't know what you're talking about.

Is that your signature?

Yeah. William E. signed for me all the time.

Insurance forms.

Taxes. You're saying you were never aware of this?

I had no idea.

Mrs. Taylor, let me lay this out for you.

You were alone when you found the body.

You have no alibi.

And you didn't see anyone else at the scene. All of that constitutes

opportunity.

And now we have a motive.

What motive?

Life insurance?

This policy is for two million dollars.

And you're the sole beneficiary.

It would go to jazz if anything were to happen to you.

But nothing did happen to you, Zoe.

Any idea why whoever killed William left you alive, to tell the tale?

The only missing piece here is the murder weapon.

And it's only a matter of time till we find that too.

I swear, I had no idea that this even existed. This will go a lot

easier for you if you just cooperate.

I didn't have anything to do with it.

We know you didn't do this alone.

Someone must have helped you.

If you tell us who and plead guilty to accessory, then we can cut a deal. I

didn't kill my husband.

Okay, I am not saying another word until I have a lawyer.

Lab results came back on that blueprint analysis.

Thanks.

We're done here?

Or now?

You scared the crap out of me. Well, I'm sorry, but I figured you could use a

hot meal, so I brought you a casserole.

Were you about to attack me with a candlestick?

Honey, come here.

Please think that I did it, Ange.

What?

For money.

I'm no detective, but that's pretty dumb.

But you're a lawyer.

What's your take on the whole situation?

I'm a divorce lawyer, but even I can see you make a crappy suspect. If this were

about money, that'd be a hell of a long con.

Well, apparently, William took out a big life insurance policy that I didn't

know about.

Okay, yeah, that doesn't look great.

Can you think of anyone that would want to hurt William?

Maybe there were things you didn't know about him.

I see it all the time.

No. No, not William.

We didn't have any secrets from each other.

I had a dime for every one of these husbands who had a whole secret life.

You mean like an affair?

No.

No.

William wouldn't.

do anything like that.

Oh, it's the one we least expect.

That's what the detective said.

See?

I just can't see William.

You know, I... I know.

You're probably right.

Oh, shoot. I have to go to the office.

Are you going to be okay?

See you tomorrow for Jess' naked birthday tryout?

I think so. I keep trying to tell Jess that if... She needs to sit it out. She

can, but she insists that she doesn't want to miss it. She's a tough cookie.

Just like her father.

What if I didn't know William as well as I thought I did?

I know this is hard.

But you'll figure it out.

Yeah. Yeah.

Of course.

I love you.

I love you, too.

David Hill?

Yes?

Detective Rachel Walker.

Mind if I ask you a few questions?

Uh, yeah.

Sure. What's up?

I assume you've heard about one of your athlete's fathers being murdered?

Yeah, of course.

It's been a pretty major shock to the entire community.

I'm sure.

How's Jess?

As well as can be expected.

She's very resilient.

That kid's got grit.

Think she gets it from her mom?

Uh, yeah.

Maybe. I understand she's quite active around here.

Yeah, she's one of the more engaged parents.

Are you too close?

Not especially.

Hmm. Some people say you are.

Oh, I mean, she comes to every track meet and most of the practices, so of

course we talk here and there.

And I can see that could spark some jealousy amongst the other parents, but

that's mainly about who I put as anchor in the relay.

Zoe and I, I don't know, we just get along.

You know, she's a really great person.

What she did for that family, they were broken, and she came in and raised Jess

like she was her own.

She's basically a super mom.

And where were you Wednesday night between the hours of midnight and 3 a

was at home, sleeping.

Alone? Excuse me?

So nobody can corroborate your alibi?

No. Well, thanks for your time, Mr. Hill.

Have a good day.

Oh, by the way, what shoe size do you wear?

Uh, ten and a half. Why?

No reason.

Mum?

You okay?

What are you doing?

Yeah, I'm fine. I'm just trying to find something.

And that's that?

What are you looking for?

I don't know.

I'm just looking for some answers, sweetie.

I guess there are some things we didn't know about Dad, huh?

What do you mean?

Like the life insurance thing?

How did you know about that?

Someone from school told me.

Why did you keep that from me?

I didn't know about it, Jess. I swear.

I thought you guys talked about everything.

We're a team.

Same family.

Remember?

I'm as confused about all this as you are. That's why I'm...

Going through all this stuff, just trying to make sense of it all.

Jess, do you know of anyone that would have... No.

Dad didn't really talk about other people.

He always said that you and I were his whole world.

Nothing else mattered.

We're a pretty great team, huh?

Team family.

Hello?

Robin?

Zoe?

Can I help you with something?

I know what was going on between you and William before he was killed.

And what exactly do you think was going on? You threatened to kill him.

What are you talking about?

I saw the emails, Robin.

Okay, Zoe, I think you need to calm down. Don't you dare tell me to calm

You told my husband that you wanted him dead, and now he's dead.

There was always heat between William and I.

Always. We both said things to each other that we regret.

All the time.

Did you kill him?

How could you even... Did you?

If I actually wanted him dead, do you really think I would have put it in an

email?

I sent the email to the police anyway.

I already spoke with the lead detective on the case, Zoe.

I explained that I was with Dean at the Rude Dog late that night. I even posted

it on social media.

We're not even suspects in this case, Zoe.

But you are. I didn't threaten to kill him.

No, of course not.

If you really were planning to kill him for the life insurance money, you'd want

everything to look great.

For everyone to believe that you had a good, healthy marriage.

We did have a good, healthy marriage.

Sure you did. How did you know about the life insurance policy?

The whole town knows about it, Zoe. Everybody's talking about it. I had no

Of course not.

You really expect me to believe that you had nothing to do with this? What did I

gain from William's death?

How did that help me?

My daughter was already missing her mother, and now she doesn't even have a

father? You leave her out of it. Oh, she's already in the middle of it,

you like it or not.

Who does she think did it?

That's it, Robin. I'm leaving.

You know Jessica's coming over to our place for dinner, right?

What? Yeah, I know we only have visitation on the weekends, but we've

talking a lot the last couple of days. I think she's old enough to make those

sorts of decisions on her own now.

Don't you?

You must be Dean.

Who's asking?

Detective Walker.

Mind if I ask you a few questions?

I'm a little, uh, a little busy.

Shouldn't take long.

You sure?

So, how long have you been seeing Robin?

About three years.

How's that going?

You guys doing well?

I'd say so, sure.

And how are you and William?

You guys get along?

Have a play pool together?

No, no.

He never liked me.

Why's that?

It's me.

Why do you want to know? You think I did it?

Did you?

Do I look like a murderer to you?

Everybody looks like a murderer to me, Dean.

You got quite the rap sheet, you know.

Aggravated assault in Palmdale?

Yeah, with the Smiths. Petty theft in Lancaster?

It was a misdemeanor. Doesn't mean I killed anybody.

Who said you killed anyone?

That's why you're here, isn't it?

Maybe I just wanted to shoot some pool.

Help me out here, Dean. There's just one thing I'm having trouble with.

That. We tested gunshot residue on Zoe. We tested Robin.

Both came back negative.

But we never tested you.

It's too late now.

I don't know the last 68 hours.

That's right.

Not many people know about that.

Watch a lot of TSI.

Is this what you were doing the night of the murder?

More or less.

A little more drinking.

Robin was here with me. I didn't see any security cameras here.

Got any proof of that?

Riley, bartender that night, he'd corroborate our alibi.

He's off till Monday, but he'd charge my card for a drink, too.

You do know your CSI.

It was a memorable night.

Riley walked in on me and Robin getting risky in the bathroom.

I'll be sure to follow up on that.

Thanks for the game.

Anytime.

Oh, good, Jeff.

I wanted to talk to you.

Uh, about what?

I don't think that you should go to Robin tonight.

How did you know that's where I was going?

Did you go through my phone?

No. No, but it shouldn't matter how I know.

Um, it kind of does.

Okay, Robin told me.

When were you going to tell me?

Right now?

I didn't know I needed RSVP in advance to go to my mom's for dinner.

I don't trust Robin.

Not now.

What's that supposed to mean?

I don't want to get you too involved.

I think I deserve to know.

Okay, I found some email.

Robin and your dad were fighting.

You went through dad's email?

I'm trying to find out who did this.

You think that Robin killed him? And that's why you don't want me to go over

there for dinner?

I don't know, Jess. I just, I'm getting a bad feeling.

Robin is... Is what?

Very clever.

Yeah, well, she's still my birth mom.

And Dad just died, so I think I have a right to fear.

I'm really worried about you.

I even got a security camera to make it safer here. I think you should stay.

Mom, I'm fine.

I'll see you tomorrow.

Wait, you're staying the night?

Yeah.

Chad, I love you.

This is really good. Thank you.

Oh, honey, I... Are you sure you want to do second helpings of the lasagna? I

did make a salad.

Um, well, I'm carbo -loading for varsity tryouts tomorrow.

Oh? Yeah. I have two events.

400 meter and 800 meter.

Oh, I didn't know you had tryouts tomorrow.

Why didn't you tell me?

I didn't think you'd care.

Honey, of course I care.

I always care.

We'd love to go cheer you on, right, Dee?

Mm -hmm.

It's just you've never come to any of my track events before.

Oh.

I know, and I'm so sorry.

You're right.

I haven't been there for the most important things in your life.

But I'd like to be now.

And I'd really like to come support you tomorrow.

If you'd like that, too.

Yeah. I thought... Dad said you were sober.

That it was a condition of your parole.

Oh, sweetie.

A little glass of wine just helps to take the edge off.

But don't worry, I have it under control.

And I don't take those pills anymore. That was the real issue.

Oh, I almost forgot.

I got you something.

I know I haven't always been the best mom.

But even when I was away from you, I never stopped thinking about you.

I thought by keeping my distance that I was doing what was best for you.

But I'm not going anywhere anymore.

And I want you to know you, you always have a home here.

With Dean and I, right, Dean?

Mm -hmm.

Thanks,

Robin.

I mean, thanks.

Of course, sweetie.

I love you so much.

I love you too.

You made it.

I know. You are not going to believe what just happened to me. Well, you will

not believe who else is here. Who?

Oh, hi, Zoe.

You missed her 400, but Jess did great.

But it's okay. Her 800 is next, and that's her specialty.

Wait, so what happened?

There was a freaking snake in my car.

Wait, what?

Are you serious? It's just sitting there in the back seat. My God, that's

insane.

How did you even get there? I don't know. I mean, my window was open, but...

How?

I don't ever leave my windows open.

What if someone... You think someone put a snake in your car?

Why would they do that?

To intimidate me?

Zoe, that's a little... I can't.

Whoever murdered William knows that I'm close.

I've never seen her at any of Jess's track events.

I know exactly what she's doing here.

Oh, my God! Oh, my God! Jess!

Oh, my God!

Jess!

Oh,

my God! Is she okay? Can somebody help?

Jess, what happened?

Jess. Jess, honey.

Is she all right? What happened? She fainted.

I need everybody to back up and give her some space.

Please, everyone.

Please, so... Jess?

Medic!

Jess, are you all right?

She fainted. Okay.

Okay, she's dehydrated for sure.

Easy now.

I'm fine, really.

You're okay. Okay, look.

Honey? Can I get you some water?

I'm fine. Are you sure?

I'm fine. Get up slow.

Let's just get you home. I'm okay. I was just caught.

What's wrong?

Are you sure? Yeah, I just need to take her home.

All right, everybody back to the benches. Let's go.

No, Nikki, I don't think my stepmom killed my dad.

I know that's what the police think.

I don't know.

I guess anything is possible.

What are these? Those are the boots that the killer was wearing.

I found those in Robin's trash.

Is that so?

And how do you know these belong to the killer?

Because I just, I just know, okay?

Okay, Zoe, here's the thing.

You can't go through someone else's trash, all right?

You understand it's a crime.

You may want to get yourself a lawyer at this point. No, I don't need a lawyer,

okay? When I... No, Zoe, it's a crime.

That's it.

End of story.

Besides, they're too small.

Wait, are you sure? You barely even looked at that. Yes, I'm sure.

These are a size 7 at best.

We're looking for a 10 and a half.

Okay, fine. Well, did you even look at the emails that I forwarded you from

Robin?

We're still looking into it. But she has a solid alibi. You can't... I can't

believe anything that that woman says.

I understand you're frustrated and you're just trying to help.

That's great.

If you really want to help, stop interfering and let me do my job. But I

don't... Plain detective, or I will have you arrested for trespassing and

obstruction of justice.

Then do your job and find my husband's killer, or I will.

Hey. Can't believe you're the one bringing me coffee today.

Yeah, I just needed to feel like I was being told something.

You okay?

Yeah.

Hey, can I ask you something?

Of course.

That's you, isn't it?

It is.

Robin posted this?

The night that William died, I... I didn't know that you were there with

Well, I was never there with them, and this definitely wasn't the night William

died. I was home with Nikki.

She's lying about her alibi.

I don't know. So she posted an old picture on a different night? I've done

a million times. No, no, no, but she said it was that night.

She is trying to cover up her tracks.

Okay, let's just take a breath and get through the funeral.

You can report this to the police tomorrow.

But that's the thing. I can't.

Why not?

Because they threatened to arrest me for obstruction of justice if I didn't stay

out of it.

What did you do?

Okay, I may or may not have gone through Robin's trash.

Okay, first of all, I'm glad I'm not your actual lawyer because I would not

to hear you admit to committing actual crimes.

And secondly, you need to let the police complete their initial investigation

before you go on Nancy Drew.

No, I need to do something now.

Jess is staying with Robin.

If Robin... Really did kill William.

Who knows what she's capable of? Even I don't think she would hurt Jess.

And besides, we definitely do not know that it was her.

I just feel so helpless.

You're the only person who thinks I'm innocent.

Everyone thinks that I did it.

The police, the moms at school.

Even Jess thinks I did it.

Oh, honey.

I'm sure she doesn't.

What makes you think that?

I heard her talking to Nikki.

And I can't lose her.

You're not going to.

Jeff knows you better than that. She just needs time to deal with everything

her own way.

She'll come around.

Yeah.

Thanks, Andrew. Of course.

Come on.

You should head over.

Dearly beloved, it is with heavy hearts that we gather here today to bid

farewell to our dear brother, William Taylor.

We commit this loving father, this loyal husband, this dedicated friend

back unto the earth.

Ashes to ashes, dust to dust.

In the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit.

Amen.

What are you doing here? You scared me to death.

Sorry. I wanted to pay my respects, but I didn't think it was appropriate to...

I appreciate it.

I do, but you can't be here right now.

People are talking.

So? Let them talk.

I'm a suspect.

You know, this is not helping anything.

Why can't we be friends?

Because the police view our friendship as motivation for me killing my husband,

so... You're right. I'm... I'm sorry.

How are you?

Up and down.

And Jess? How is Jess?

Jess is staying with Robin right now because she thinks that I'm losing it.

She doesn't trust me, so I feel like a failure as a mother.

No, please. You've always been an amazing mother.

None of the other mothers come to all of the track meets.

And with the best snacks, no less.

Showing up, it matters.

It matters a lot.

All these kids whose parents never come, I can see it in their faces every time

they look up into the crowd and don't get that support.

You have no idea all the little things you do that mean the world, so...

You're incredible.

I just wish you knew that sometimes.

Don't. I know. I'm sorry. I'm sorry.

We are at my... I know. I get it. Okay? I'm sorry. I just... I couldn't... I

shouldn't have done that. Zoe, please.

Hello?

We're not open for another 15.

It's all right. I only need five.

You don't look like you're here to grind your sorrows.

I'm not. I need to ask you something.

Do you recognize this couple?

Yeah. They come here pretty often.

Were they here last Wednesday?

Yeah. Yeah, they were here all night. You sure?

Wednesday? Yep. No, I'm sure Wednesdays are usually real slow around here.

Do you happen to have a record of it?

Uh, yeah. We keep all our closed outs in the back.

Don't you mind if I took a look?

At the receipt?

Yeah.

We're not really supposed to share our customers' information like that.

This help?

Look, I don't think... You

just want to look at it?

Yes.

Zoe?

What are you doing here?

Having a dream. Is that a crime?

All right, I found Dean's receipt. Oh, hey, we're actually not open yet.

Detective Walker, I'd like to ask you some questions.

Sorry, I have a bar to open. This isn't signed.

He didn't sign it? Let me take a look at that. You know, unless you have a

warrant, I think you need to leave.

Both of you.

This is exactly what I was talking about.

What you just did in there is the definition of obstruction of justice.

I wasn't obstructing anything.

I was looking at a receipt. How is that illegal?

Because I specifically told you to stay out of this. And because I wanted to

talk to a person of interest. But because you got to him first, he shut

won't talk to me now. So yeah, it's a problem.

Your biggest problem, detective, is how long it's taking you to actually follow

up on Lee.

Zoe, I don't want to have to arrest you.

But if that's the only way I can do my job, I will.

If you were actually doing your job, you would know that Robin's alibi is a lie.

And what makes you think that?

Because that photo that she posted on social media claiming that she was here

the night of William's murder, it wasn't taken that night.

And how do you know that?

Because my friend was in the photo, and she told me.

So how do you explain Dean's receipt?

That receipt was for four drinks. They closed down the bar that night, and they

only had two drinks each?

Come on. I thought Robin was sober.

Oh, yeah, well, I think Robin's lying about a lot of things these days.

Well, that's a very interesting theory, Zoe, but it won't hold up in court. I am

trying to tell you, Detective, Robin is hiding something, and I think it's the

fact that she murdered my husband.

I just want...

To stop her before she hurts anyone else.

Like that man who murdered your sister.

I think

it's time you got a lawyer.

Sorry, I tried to get here as soon as I could.

It sounded urgent.

I appreciate it. It is.

What's wrong?

I have something that I need to get back.

Okay. You know those rumors?

About me and David?

Coach David?

They're not completely out of nowhere.

I defended you.

I know, I'm so sorry.

Why didn't you tell me? I didn't tell anyone.

Did William?

No, William didn't know us.

At least I don't think he did.

But it wouldn't be a huge surprise.

What do you mean?

Last year, William and I, we grew apart.

You know, he was working more and more at the office, and I was just feeling

less and less, like, priority.

We still loved each other.

But it felt different.

How long did this go on?

No, it wasn't like an ongoing thing.

We went out for drinks one night and had a few too many. And I let him get me.

I know I shouldn't have.

And the next time I saw him, I told him that it was a mistake. But I don't think

he ever really lost hope for us.

Why are you telling me this now?

The cops found out, didn't they? Yeah.

I think that's your motive. Maybe William found out about it, or maybe you

just wanted him out of the picture.

Yeah, of course. That's what they think. That's ridiculous.

You think?

You don't think that I did this?

Everything okay?

Yeah, we're fine.

I didn't kill William.

You really didn't know about the life insurance?

No. No, Angela.

I know.

I lied about David.

I made the two million dollar policy, you thing with David.

You were there that night.

Pepper pulled the trigger and you had to come in through the back door and not

hurt Jess.

You promised me.

You didn't do it. Yes.

I'm not a murderer.

Valley. This is a lot.

And it doesn't exactly look great for you right now.

I know. That's why I need a lawyer.

Yes.

Me? No, I'm a divorce attorney. You need a criminal defense lawyer.

And it sounds like you better find a really, really good one and do that.

Do you think you could recommend somebody at your office?

I don't think we're equipped to take this on.

And honestly...

probably stop talking to me about this.

Hey, yeah.

Hey.

You're home late.

Where were you?

Don't worry about it.

Are you going to answer that?

Go ahead, babe.

Answer it.

Hello?

Yo, man, we need to talk.

Hey, bud, what's going on?

Good to hear from you.

I'm gonna need more money.

You think more money?

We already paid you what we agreed.

Yeah, well, things are heating up, and I'm gonna need more money if you want me

to keep up your little alibi.

What are you talking about heating up?

This woman came by the bar. Wanted to know about you and Robin being here that

night, and this detective came by. She started asking questions. I think they

know. Nobody knows, man. Relax.

Don't tell me to... Don't tell me to relax, Dean. I didn't sign up to be an

accessory to murder.

I need to be compensated for that. You already were compensated. Are you

me right now? Dad's serious, man.

You think if he didn't make Ashley that disappear from the book, that's not my

problem. Look, I might have to skip town now. You want me to keep quiet?

I'm going to need $20 ,000. You know I don't have that kind of money. Riley,

have three days.

Riley. Riley.

What was that about?

Oh, nothing.

Probably just one of Dean's friends with a car issue.

Here, why don't you read that?

Try it again.

What did he want?

More money.

A lot more.

What?

Cops came in, asked questions, got spooked.

We don't have more money to give you. I know.

Is he going to be a problem?

No, look, I'll handle it.

Don't mess it up this time.

I won't.

Hey, Jeff.

Your turn to go first.

There we go.

Hey, sweetie.

Hi.

I'm about to head out. Are you going to be all right?

Yeah, I have a term paper I need to work on. Okay, great.

Well, there's leftover pasta from last night in the fridge if you get hungry,

I can grab you something on the way home. It's okay. Pasta sounds great.

Okay.

I'm just really happy that you're back home.

Me too.

Well, let me know if you need anything, okay?

Okay. I will. Okay.

I forgot my phone.

Jessica?

Jessica?

Jess?

Jessica?

Jessica, what are you doing in here?

I was looking for a nail file.

There's one in the bathroom.

I'll grab it for you.

I found these in Robin's bedroom.

I don't understand.

What are all these?

Why does she have a gun? Do you think she could have... I don't know. I don't

know. Okay, but we need to get this to the police right now. Why would she lie

to me?

Some people are good at hiding who they really are.

Okay, so what do we do? Do we call the detective?

No. No, she doesn't want to talk to me right now.

Look, I will take this to the station.

You stay here. I don't want them thinking you had anything to do with

Are you going to be okay?

Yeah. You got security cameras, so you'd be safer.

I love you.

I love you.

I love you, too.

Just found that gun in Robin's nightstand. I told you it was Robin.

one who killed my husband.

Robin was just here, actually.

What?

Hi, sweetie.

Can I come in?

I think I owe you an explanation.

Why didn't you keep her here? She's a murderer.

Robin didn't do it.

I didn't do it, Jessica.

I know you found the gun, but that was Dean.

Apparently, Dean had been acting weird lately.

She found out that he had stolen money from the flower shop to pay off the

bartender at the Rue d 'Or. Why wouldn't she go to the authorities sooner?

I should have gone to the police sooner, but I was so scared of Dean.

He found out I was talking to William about our custody agreement, and he got

jealous and angry.

He gets pretty physical sometimes.

But he always makes sure it's where no one else would see it.

Dean told me that if I went to the police, he would hurt you too, Jessica.

I was just trying to protect you.

I know I haven't been the best mother to you growing up, but I am trying to be

that for you now.

You'll always be my little girl.

But if Robin knew all along, couldn't you have held her on...

Obstruction or interference or something? She struck a deal. She gave

exchange for immunity from prosecution for withholding evidence.

So what about Dean?

We found him.

He's at a job in Bronson.

Go home, Zoe.

Be with your daughter.

We're going to arrest your husband's killer.

You have the right to remain silent.

Anything you say can only be used against you in court of law.

You have the right to an attorney. If you do not afford an attorney, one will

provided for.

So why'd you do it, Dean?

We've got your motive.

We know you weren't so happy when your girl's ex -husband came back into the

picture.

He had been out of Robin's life for quite some time.

But when Robin got her life back together and finally got her visitation

again, you had to hear all about Robin and William working everything out.

Were you worried that Robin would try to get him back?

Zoe was having an affair with the track coach.

Maybe that opened the door to Robin going back to a man that could provide

with the life you never could.

Is that why you did it, Dean?

Did he make you feel less of a man?

That's cute.

Is that what Robin got in your head?

I guess she forgot to mention that she's the one that wanted them both dead.

What are you talking about? Robin hated William.

She didn't want him back. She wanted him dead. Zoe, too.

When Robin found out about that life insurance, she knew that if something

happened to both of them, Jess would get all the money and she'd get full

custody. But you didn't kill Zoe.

Why not?

Got anything to back that up?

That it was all Robin's idea?

I got a voice memo.

Of what?

I always knew Robin would turn on me eventually.

So I recorded our conversations.

Whitman? Get me that phone!

Always open. You're going to go down and a master bedroom is in the left corner.

Can't miss it.

Just don't wake Jess.

You believe me, don't you?

My mom.

I mean, Zoe.

We'll be back soon.

Honey, would you get me a glass of water?

Please.

You know, I'm sure this is a lot for you to take in.

I'm just glad I could come clean on everything now.

I'm looking forward to spending more time with you, Jessica.

I don't know what to make up for.

I got your favorite takeout.

Jess?

Hello, Zoe.

Robin.

What are you doing here?

I came to check on my daughter.

I was worried about her. To keep her out of it, I gave her something to relax.

You drugged her?

Once I realized Jessica found the gun...

I knew she'd have so many questions.

You need to leave right now.

No, I need to tell her Dean did it.

He did it out of pure jealousy.

He viewed me as his, and he hated that I had any interaction with my ex.

Why are you here? Well, I couldn't tell her that I was the one that had her

father killed.

No, that sweet William.

The man that everybody loved.

But he was keeping his daughter from the one woman that she needed the most.

Her mother.

Her real mother.

You know, I did everything right. I got my ass together.

I held up my end of the bargain. But he didn't hold up his.

You know, he wouldn't even consider joint custody.

You know, the real William was callous and selfish.

No. No, he...

Always did what was best for Jess. And that drove you crazy because it meant

keeping her away from your toxicity.

I am not crazy. I am her mother.

Okay, Robin, just calm down.

You know, Zoe, I really don't think that you're in much of a position to call

the shots here.

Why are you doing this?

I'm doing this for her.

To protect her.

And know that these could be just as they always should have been.

Just me and my daughter.

And when she wakes up, I'm going to tell her what happened here.

Ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah.

How you came home and you were so upset to find me here taking care of my own

daughter, still convinced that I had anything to do with William's death,

you attacked me in a fit of rage.

What are you doing?

I'm not doing anything.

You did this.

I had no choice but to defend myself.

You need help.

No, Zoe, you need help.

See, you kept attacking me, and I was begging for you to stop, but you

listen. You were so convinced that I would take Jessica away from you that

couldn't stand it.

So I had to wrestle the knife from you, and it flipped, and you fell right on

it. There was nothing I could do.

She'll never believe you.

Yes,

she will.

That's why I had to put her out. So she'll have to believe me.

And so will the police.

You know, you've been throwing a lot of vital accusations around town about me.

It won't take much for them to finally believe that you've come undone. You

probably just put the knife down.

You know, you never believed that I was good enough as a mother, but I am a good

mother.

And I'm going to take better care of Jessica than you ever would.

You know, get all the life insurance money.

You knew about the policy all along.

You know, William didn't ever like changing his password.

Oh.

You thought team family was about you?

Poor stupid Zoe.

You know, Dean was supposed to kill you too, but he chickened out.

I have to do everything myself.

that you take my daughter.

Rain!

Drop the knife.

Don't move.

Hands behind your head.

No!

You have the right to remain silent.

Anything you say can and will be used against you in a court of law.

You have a right to an attorney.

If you cannot afford an attorney, one will be provided for you.

You good? Yeah, I'm okay, I'm okay.

Jess, is she okay?

She's good.

She'll be all right.

Okay.

You were right.

I'm sorry, I didn't believe you.

It's okay.

You were just doing your job.

I'm just glad we caught her before she hurt anybody else.

You really did a number on her arms.

Actually, she did that herself.

She did?

I installed a security camera after everything. You're welcome to the

We got the whole confession on there.

That's not bad detective work there, Taylor.

We could use someone like you on the force.

Yeah, maybe someday.

Right now, I'm just happy to have my daughter back.
