(tense music)

(birds chirping) (woman panting)

- I think this is the spot.

- I think this is the spot. - Yeah?

- "Where forest limbs in twin pairs lean,

their mirrored arms divide the green.

Stand where the crossing lines entwine

then pace 12 steps along the spine."

- I think it's a W.

Yeah, so mirrored arms and then crossing lines entwine.

(tense music)

- I think this is it. (chuckles)

- (chuckles) That must be it. That's a W.

(treasure hunter laughs)

- One, two, three, four, five,

six, seven, eight, nine,

ten, eleven,

twelve.

- Come on.

(dirt scraping)

(treasure hunter gasps)

What the?

(treasure hunter screams)

(ominous music) (bird squawking)

(gentle music)

- Okay, serious question.

- Mm-hmm.

- Should I say, "Heyy," with two Ys,

or should I say, "Hey" exclamation point?

- (chuckles) Should I be worried about you?

- (laughs) No.

If I stop doing this, then you can worry.

That means I've lost all hope.

- Nora.

- [Officer] Esposito, come in.

- Go for Esposito. I'm with Larsen and Blue.

- [Officer] We have a discovery of a body

over in Pine Hollow.

Need you to get down there ASAP.

- Copy.

(somber music) (camera clicking)

Thanks, Chip.

- What have we got?

- John Doe.

Discovered early this morning by two hikers.

They were on a treasure hunt.

I'll get to that.

Vic has no ID, no phone, fingerprints not in the system.

Due to the body's state of rigor,

forensics suggest he's been dead for about two to six hours.

- Do we know cause of death?

- Not yet.

We'll have to wait for the coroner's report,

but no obvious signs of blunt force trauma.

This was the only thing found near the body.

(tense music)

- I didn't know people still wrote in cursive.

- I didn't know people still wrote in cursive. It's a lost art.

"Where forest limbs in twin pairs lean,

they're mirrored arms divide the green.

Stand where the crossing lines entwine,

and pace 12 steps along the spine."

- Could belong to our victim or his killer.

- Well, whoever he is, he's a poet.

- That would be Bartholomew Brantley.

Famous local artist.

Wanted to encourage people to get off their phones

and into nature.

Right before he died, Brantley published a poem

with a list of clues leading to a treasure chest

filled with gold and artifacts somewhere in Crystal Ridge.

Our hikers made it to the final clue.

Obviously, didn't find what they were looking for.

- No treasure at the scene?

- Nothing.

My guess is whoever killed our vic, took the gold and ran.

- Tell us about this poem.

- It's the map.

The poem has 10 clues.

Each clue is dependent on the previous one.

Brantley's grandson went on record.

No one knows the whereabouts of the treasure

or the answers to the clues except Brantley himself.

He passed away a year ago, taking it to the grave.

- How do you know so much about this, Meeks?

- Did some quick digging before I got to the scene.

- Sure you did, Meeks.

- We need to ID the victim.

- Which means we need his last known movements.

- Which would presumably be the steps of the treasure hunt.

- I'll interview the couple that found the body.

They had to have solved the poem

to get to the final clue, right?

But then what?

- We have to solve the treasure hunt ourselves, and fast.

There's a killer at large.

(tense music)

(Blue whines)

Where are we going?

- I already solved clues one through five,

so we can start there.

I had some trouble after that.

Hopefully you can do better.

- How long have you been working on finding the treasure?

- That's neither here nor there.

The treasure is in our park.

to retrace our victim's steps.

- I'll have rangers secure the area and start canvassing.

- Great.

Let's get Tyson on CCTV and facial recognition.

See if he can place our victim.

- Who knew we could be a good team?

- My partner is the very good boy sitting right behind you.

(Blue whines and pants)

- [Esposito] Thanks for sticking around.

I know today has been challenging

- To say the least.

- My colleague tells me that you both got in last night.

How did you solve the clues to the poem so fast?

- Well, we didn't.

- We didn't figure it out, per se.

- We didn't figure it out at all.

- Walk me through this.

- Well, we heard about the treasure

on a private online forum.

Figured we'd try our luck,

and last night we went to that inn.

- Cliff's Edge.

- Sat at the bar, talked about our future,

fantasized about the money, that sorta thing.

- While we were there, we overheard this man on the phone

talking about the poem.

He was talking about the ninth clue

and he mentioned the exact coordinates.

- So you could skip solving the eight previous clues.

- We would only have to solve the final clue.

- Did you talk to this man?

- No. He was on the phone the whole time.

- Did you catch who he might have been talking to?

Can you describe him for our forensic artist?

- [Treasure Hunter] Sure.

- Hard to believe our vic and perp did all this.

- Promise of money will make people do strange things,

push people to their limits.

Doesn't look like Blue's picking anything up.

(Blue sniffing)

- Well, this is the old mill, well what's left of it.

(tense music) (Blue whines)

- Next clue.

"Beneath that stone where dew has kissed,

soft moss clings in morning mist.

Where owl light falls and branches veer,

the mossy notch will soon appear."

- That's an old growth forest ideal for owls.

- The burrowing owl migrates there in winter.

My mom was a bird watcher. Owls were her favorite.

- Let's get going, then.

- But what about the mossy notch?

There was a big old tree with curved branches just east,

in that bog by Miner's Meadow?

Bogs have moss.

- Does that tree have owls?

- No. Even better.

(tense music)

- [Esposito] King, do you copy?

- Go for King.

- They overheard a man talking about the coordinates

of the treasure at Cliff's Edge Inn the night before.

- Seems like a strange thing to talk about in public.

- My thoughts exactly.

The sketch artist is just finishing up with them now.

I'll send it to dispatch and have them put out a BOLO.

- See if you can get in touch with Madge.

Try to get an image from the cameras at the inn.

Send it to Bernard.

He'll run it through facial recognition,

see if there's a match.

- Copy.

(birds chirping) (tense music)

- Think it's just around here.

Yes. Look.

(mysterious music)

- How did you know where to find this?

- My mom and I used to go hiking.

We used to play this game.

It's silly.

- Well, Brantley uses optical illusions in his art

to send secret messages.

Makes sense this would be one

of the stops on his treasure map.

- You know what's good about moss?

- Holds scents very well.

- Yes, it does.

Blue, search!

(Blue barks)

(suspenseful music)

Blue, heel!

(suspenseful music continues)

This is Officer Larsen and Officer Meeks with NPS.

Anybody here? (Blue barks)

- We need to speak with you.

(suspenseful music continues)

(zipper hisses)

Clear.

(tense music)

(tense music continues)

(phone clicks)

Found this.

- That's our vic.

Footprints.

- Three sets of footprints.

- He wasn't in the park alone.

(ominous music)

(tense music)

- Get you a cup of coffee?

- I'm good.

I own a coffee shop, remember?

- Right. Silly question.

About Whispering Pines,

I feel like we have all the pieces of the puzzle,

but none of them are fitting together.

Like the newspaper clipping

from the Stone Glass Lake murder?

- Claire had them for a reason.

- Why would she keep them if they weren't important?

(pedestrians chattering)

- I think we go back to the leads we have

and try to find something we missed along the way.

- Maybe I should pay Stacey Canter another visit.

(tense music)

- [Larsen] Loud and clear.

- We have IDed our victim.

Jackson Turner, 30s.

Associate at his family's law firm, Turner and Turner.

Recently proposed to his longtime girlfriend,

Emily Warner.

Apparently wanted the treasure

so that they could start their life together

and so that she could quote,

"have the wedding of her dreams."

Fiancee has been notified and is on her way

in town from out of state.

Esposito, I want you to talk to her when she gets here.

- I've been doing some digging into Jackson's socials.

Looks like he went camping with his two best friends.

- [King] Who are these so-called friends?

- Well, first up is Eddie Henderson.

Grew up in foster care after his father was incarcerated,

but appears to be a shining star.

Sixth grade teacher, started a Big Brother program.

Ran a background check, clean as a whistle.

Casey Crawford, on the other hand,

arrested once for aggravated assault, bills and collections.

Based off the dates, I'd say these guys

have been friends since high school.

I analyzed their most recent posts.

Location tracking has been disabled for all three of them.

- It's possible they were separated from Jackson

and are still on the hunt.

We can keep following the clues, see if we can find them.

- [Tyson] Copy that.

(tense music) (engine rumbling)

(text message notification dings)

(tense music)

- Again.

What do you want?

- Been getting threatening messages from an unknown number.

- And you think it's me?

- No, I don't.

But I think that we both might be in danger.

- Come in.

(tense music)

(officers chattering)

- Still no word from Eddie or Casey,

but got in touch with the executor

for Bartholomew Brantley's estate,

and Meeks, you were right.

He insists that no one knows the actual coordinates

on the map other than Brantley.

He also said that no one has reported

finding the treasure.

- So the seekers are still out there.

- We'll put out a BOLO on Eddie and Casey,

try to get in contact with their families.

- [Larsen] We can try and match the clues in the poem

with their last photo.

- [Tyson] Sending you their most recent post

from yesterday.

- [Larsen] Judging by the sun, it's about midday.

Was there a caption on the photo?

- "Seize the day."

- Oh brother.

- [Esposito] Yeah, this could be anywhere.

- What's the last stanza in the poem?

- "The notch will lead past Aspen's gate

where seven trunks in silence wait.

The tallest bows will left from there,

and count your steps in mountain air."

- Look at the reflection in his sunglasses.

- That's an Aspen Grove campsite.

- Larsen, Meeks, head to the Aspen Grove campsite.

Until we get some more evidence, everyone's a suspect.

(kettle whistling)

- I think you should leave town.

If I'm getting threats, it can't be safe for you either.

- I'm not sure leaving is the answer. (scoffs)

Seems like the smart thing to do is drop it.

- Someone has you scared.

- I have been told not to talk,

and now maybe they think I'm talking.

- Who are they?

- (sighs) You're not gonna get the answer you want.

Move on with your life.

That's what I'm gonna do.

(tense music)

(phone buzzing)

- Hey, Bill.

- I just spoke with Stacey.

- What'd she say?

- I'll tell you more in person, but no major revelations.

I think someone threatened her,

and the same person might be threatening me.

- Bill, we gotta tell Jodi.

I know you wanna protect her, but-

- I know. I'm gonna tell her tonight.

Keep your phone on. Talk soon.

- Hey.

- [Emily] I still can't believe it.

Who would do something like this?

- That's what we need your help figuring out.

- Jackson was such a good person.

Everyone loved him.

You know he'd never been camping before this?

He went on this treasure hunt

so that we could have a beautiful wedding,

a beautiful life. (chuckles)

- I'm so sorry, Emily. I can't even imagine.

- Thank you.

- Would it be okay if I asked you some questions?

- Anything to find who did this.

- What can you tell me about Casey and Eddie?

- We've known each other since high school.

Eddie used to spend a lotta time over at Jackson's.

Casey's an artist.

He liked that guy, um, Brantley's work

and found out about the treasure hunt.

He's the creative one.

- Do you know anything about his run-ins with the law?

- Yeah, um, there was a creepy guy

trying to talk to me at a bar.

Casey asked him to leave me alone, but he wouldn't,

so he punched him.

We dated for a few years before Jackson,

but it was a long time ago.

- Do you think that Casey still has feelings for you?

- No. No, we're just friends.

- Any idea why Casey and Eddie wouldn't notify the police

if Jackson went missing?

- I just assumed their phones had no service.

I mean, I hadn't heard much from Jackson at all.

Just last night.

- Oh?

- He called me from a restaurant.

It was hard to hear him, but he finally had service, so.

- What'd he say?

- He told me that he loved me and that he had a good feeling

that our lives were about to change for the better.

- Did Jackson write in cursive?

- No. Never, no.

His handwriting was horrible.

It was like a kid's. (chuckles)

(tense music) (Blue panting)

- All right, I'll check this camp over here.

You wanna see this one?

- Detective Larsen, NPS.

- [Meeks] Hi there. - Anyone home?

Hello?

(zipper hissing)

(tense music)

(tense music continues)

(dramatic music)

Police. Drop it.

(box thuds)

We need to ask you a few questions.

(tense music)

- [King] What do we got?

- Milton Bledsoe.

40s, accountant, never married.

We found him with an empty treasure chest,

an action camera, and a hard drive

with the words "Murder in the Woods" written on it.

- Treasure chest, no treasure.

- It appears so.

- Prelim search of his name says that he's on a watchlist

for criminal related internet searches,

including "best ways to commit murder in a national park."

- Meeks, lead the interrogation.

Larsen, link up with Ryan.

Keep looking for Casey and Eddie.

At this point, they're missing persons.

By the way, we got the report back.

Jackson died of a stab wound.

Coroner believes it was a dull, round instrument,

about half an inch in diameter.

- So not a knife.

- [King] We're looking for an unusual murder weapon.

(tense music)

(tense music)

- I just got confirmation

that it was Brantley's treasure chest.

During the download transfer,

I used a facial recognition software

to scan the action camera footage and look who I saw.

Our victim.

- [King] That's Jackson.

- [Tyson] They crossed paths.

- Wouldn't Jackson show up again if this guy killed him?

- Not necessarily.

- He was killed in the middle of the night.

- Once the transfer's done, I can up the exposure

during the date and time of our murder,

see if anything shows up.

see if anything shows up. - [King] Mm-hmm.

(King sighs)

(tense music)

(phone ringing)

- What's up, Jodi?

Just got the text from King.

Just packing up right now.

- Did she brief you?

- She said it wasn't officially a missing persons yet,

but two men are MIA.

- We found a dead body this morning.

Our victim was on a treasure hunt with his two friends

and we need to find them STAT.

- Treasure hunt. Didn't know that still existed.

Okay, where should we meet?

- Breath Wood. You know it?

- Take my climbers there sometimes.

See you soon?

- Thanks. See ya.

(Blue sniffs)

Good boy.

(Blue whines)

- [Milton] This whole thing is a misunderstanding.

- Let's talk about the facts.

First, there's the internet searches

about how to bury a body in a national park.

Then there's your hard drive

with the incriminating label "Murder in the Woods,"

which just so happens to contain footage of our victim

the day before he died.

Lastly, you have Bartholomew Brantley's treasure chest,

which was taken from the exact location we found the body.

We know this because there was a hole dug up

where the treasure should have been.

- There's a simple explanation for all of this.

I'm writing a novel.

It's a mystery, about a murder in the woods.

I know it sounds farfetched, but it's true.

In my research I learned about the treasure hunt

and I thought that would make a perfect backdrop

for my story.

- Not exactly a revolutionary idea.

- Call it what you will, but I headed to the park,

I strapped on my camera,

and I just so happened to stumble upon the treasure chest.

It was just sitting there, empty, out in the open.

Whoever found the treasure,

they were obviously in a hurry and left it behind.

- Come on, Milton,

you don't expect me to believe all that, do you?

'Cause it looks like you killed

an innocent man for inspiration.

- I didn't kill him. I've never even seen him.

- He's in your footage.

- We must have just passed by each other in the park.

I record everything.

Besides, why would I kill him?

- Maybe you just wanted to mix in

a little nonfiction with your fiction.

- Check my hard drive.

You'll see the moment that I find the treasure chest,

you'll see that it's empty.

It's timestamped and everything.

I was alone.

It's all there.

(knuckles tapping)

- [Officer] King wants to see you.

- Saved by the bell.

(tense music)

- Tyson checked the footage

during the approximate time of the murder.

He was almost back to base camp.

- So he was alone when he found the treasure chest.

- Looks like it.

- Any way that footage has been doctored

or the timestamp altered?

- Yeah, it's not likely

since it's coming from the original data.

(birds chirping) (somber music)

(Blue panting)

- Hey, buddy. Hey.

So what do we got? - Okay.

Eddie and Casey.

No one has seen or heard from them in almost 24 hours.

- Not a lotta cell service in the area.

If they're novice campers on a treasure hunt,

they could have forgotten portable chargers.

- It's possible.

The fact is, their friend went missing and now he's dead.

And there's no trace of these guys.

Not at the site where they were camping,

their cell phones haven't pinged any towers,

they haven't been seen on CCTV.

Meeks and I were at Aspen Grove,

the site of the last clue on the treasure map

which bought us here.

Just need to figure out where to go next.

(tense music)

Here.

- "Now seek the tree that leans with grace,

its roots dug deep in time-worn place.

Along its trunk where shadows sprawl,

the earth breathes deep, then lets it fall.

- So, we're looking for a place that rises and falls.

- Well, tides go in and out, but we don't have any oceans.

We do have water where levels fluctuate,

specifically Veil Water Brook.

- Veil Water Brook.

- Not just a pretty face.

(tense music)

- What is it?

- I was scrubbing through Milton's footage

when I got a notification.

You know the man the couple overheard at the inn?

- The one who said he knew where the treasure was.

- Yeah, well, I got a match from the forensic sketch

and the security footage at Cliff's Edge Inn last night.

Drake Brantley.

- Bartholomew Brantley's grandson.

- Well, he's the sole heir to the Brantley fortune.

- Maybe he's upset Peepaw was giving away

some of his inheritance.

- I'll find his license plate number,

put it through the CCTV, see if I can track it.

- Get Madge to come in and talk to us.

(engine rumbling)

(birds chirping) (water babbling)

- [Bill] Sheriff.

- I couldn't get you fishing 5 times in 20 years,

now here you are.

- I like fishing as much as the next guy.

- Sure you do.

All right.

(gentle music)

- Yep, yep, yep, yep. I do recognize him.

He came in last night, sat at the bar,

didn't say much to me.

Yapping on his phone the entire time,

which I thought was pretty rude,

but you know, what are you gonna do?

- And did you happen to catch any of his conversation?

- No, I didn't have time to eavesdrop. It was packed.

- Anything that might help us?

- Well, I did suggest

that he take his conversation outside, which he did.

He took the hint.

- Can you tell us anything else?

- Yeah, he booked a room last night,

checked out this afternoon.

You probably just missed him.

- [Esposito] Thanks, Madge.

- Well, you know where to find me.

- Tyson, Madge is holding Drake's room at the inn.

We need forensics to search it for a murder weapon

or any traces of Jackson's DNA.

- On it.

I scanned Drake's plate number,

was able to track his movements on CCTV.

was able to track his movements on CCTV. - What's the last known location?

- Main Street.

- Okay, we'll go check it out.

Text us the make and model. - [Tyson] Copy.

(birds chirping) (water babbling)

- This is a great place to come and clear my head

and get away from all the noise.

Now, why did you really wanna see me?

- The reason I asked you about Stacey Canter.

I think it might have something to do

with what happened to Claire.

- What do you mean?

- I don't think what happened to Claire was an accident.

- Well, I was there, Bill, and I saw the reports.

This is your grief talking.

You're still in denial.

- No, Al, I'm not.

- All right. I'm listening.

- I don't know what happened or who did what,

but things aren't adding up.

I need your help.

- Look, Bill, I don't see how Stone Glass

and what happened to Claire are connected.

But anything you need.

- I need you to run a number for me.

Figure out who it belongs to.

- Sure.

Just get it to me and I'll run it down for you.

(tense music)

(tense music)

(engine rumbling)

- [Meeks] Talk to me, Tyson.

- [Tyson] Brantley's SUV was just spotted

coming into town on Front Street.

Doesn't look like he's in a hurry.

You're a quarter of a mile out.

(siren wailing) (tense music)

(tense music)

- Casey Crawford?

Blue, go.

(dramatic music)

(Blue growling)

- Blue! Blue!

Blue, Blue, hey, hey, hey, hey.

Off, off, off.

(Casey breathing heavily)

(Larsen gasps) (gun cocks)

(siren wailing)

(tense music)

(tense music continues)

(tense music continues)

(tense music continues)

- Sir, we're gonna need you to step out of the vehicle.

(tense music)

We have witnesses saying they overheard you

talking about the buried treasure.

Why is that?

- I just, I wanted this to be over.

My grandfather had pure intentions,

I loved him very much, but my family and I,

we've gotten death threats over this treasure hunt.

- I'm very sorry to hear that.

So this phone call...

- I created a private online forum pretending to be a fan.

After that, I knew there'd be seekers at the end.

I figured if I disguised myself a little

and spoke loudly enough,

one of them might accidentally overhear me

and find the treasure, and my family would finally be safe.

- Who was on the other end of the call?

- No one.

All right, check the call log.

All right? It was all a show.

- You went on record saying

you didn't know where the treasure was,

that only your grandfather knew.

- I made that statement before he passed,

and back then it was true.

(sighs) He left the answer for me in his will.

I've kept it a secret from everyone until now.

- So none of this is about your inheritance.

- The last thing I need is more money.

My grandfather left me a fortune.

- What about the bloody screwdriver?

- I, I locked my keys in my car. All right?

I found a video showing how to break in using a screwdriver.

Got into my car, but not without a battle wound.

- Okay, just one last question.

Where were you last night

between the hours of 12 and 4 a.m.?

- I was in my room at the inn.

I, I couldn't sleep so I ordered room service

in the middle of the night.

- Do you know who did this?

- That's what we're trying to figure out.

Let's just focus on you.

Where were you between the hours of 12 and 4 a.m.?

- I was in my tent sleeping.

- Can anyone corroborate that?

- Check my smartwatch.

- Okay, we will.

Tell me about last night.

- We decided to take a break and get some food at the inn.

Jackson was on the phone with Emily.

I got us a table. Eddie got us drinks.

- At the bar.

- Yeah, that's where you get drinks, isn't it?

- You snap often, Casey?

- No, I just- - Like when you were arrested

for aggravated assault?

- I was protecting

Emily. - Emily?

Emily. - Emily? We know.

You still have feelings for her?

- No.

I love her as a friend.

- I can't believe he's dead.

I've known him since the ninth grade.

- You guys were close?

Why didn't you call anyone Once you realized he was gone?

- We were camping along the way.

We would follow the clues and pack up to go to the next one.

We couldn't get ahold of Jackson,

figured if he came back and his stuff was gone,

that wouldn't be good, so we left it for him.

We just assumed he got an itch

and wanted to get a headstart finding the treasure.

- Didn't that make you mad?

That he'd get the treasure for himself?

- No, Jackson wouldn't do that.

He would share it with us even if he found it on his own.

- What if that wasn't his plan?

- He wouldn't.

- When was the last time you saw Jackson?

- We got back to our campsite and got in our tents.

When I woke up, he was gone.

Eddie said he left a note saying he'd be back

and not to wait.

- So what did you think

when you woke up in the morning and he was gone?

- I assumed he went to get the treasure for himself.

- Why would you assume that?

- It was the only thing that made sense.

Emily wanted an extravagant wedding.

I guess Jackson must have felt pressure

to find the treasure.

- So you didn't think anything was wrong,

that something could have happened?

- That wasn't my first instinct, no.

- Sure.

Why'd you run?

- Isn't the treasure hunt illegal?

I thought you were gonna arrest us,

and I don't have money to pay fines.

I'm not going back to jail.

Once was enough.

(birds chirping) (somber music)

- Okay, we let Drake go.

Forensics rushed the screwdriver

and it came back positive for Drake's blood,

but Drake's blood only.

And Madge corroborated his alibi.

He ordered late-night room service

and he didn't leave his room until this afternoon.

- He's out.

What we need is- (notification tone dings)

(phones vibrating)

It's Ranger. Says they found something by the body.

- [Meeks] Looks like a fountain pen.

- Yeah, it looks splintered.

This could have broken during the force of a stabbing.

- Ranger says, "Fingerprints have been wiped.

There are blood remnants inside the pen."

- It has "CC" engraved on the side.

- Casey's initials.

- Something's not adding up here.

- Motive, murder weapon. He ran.

- Hold Casey. Release Eddie.

(door creaks)

- When can I have my phone back?

- As soon as you sign these.

(soft tense music)

- And Casey?

- He needs to stay a little longer.

- You don't think he has something to do with this?

- I really can't say.

(soft tense music continues)

- That was forensics.

Fingerprints weren't detected,

but it came back positive for Jackson's DNA.

At least we have a murder weapon.

(tense music)

(tense music continues)

(tense music continues)

- What is it?

- I need to see the photos from Eddie's campsite.

- It's just stacks of graded papers.

(tense music)

- Hand me the paper that was left by the body.

- The poem?

(tense music continues)

- Tyson, I need to see Milton's action camera footage

from just before he found the treasure chest.

- On it.

- Stop. Eddie.

We need to get to the treasure site

where the body was found.

Let's hope we're not too late.

Meeks.

Come on, boy.

(thunder rumbles)

(crickets chirping) (engine rumbling)

(tense music)

Come on, buddy.

He's not here.

- I think he went this way.

Come on.

(tense music)

- What are you guys doing here?

- We'd like to ask you the same question.

(bag thuds)

- Edward Henderson, you're under arrest

for the murder of Jackson Turner.

I'm gonna need to search your bag.

(tense music)

Your innocent teacher Act nearly had us fooled, Eddie.

- How'd you know?

- You were all at Cliff's Edge Inn last night.

You went to the bar,

overheard someone who had exact coordinates

leading to the treasure.

So you wrote it down along with the last stanza of the poem.

You're a teacher who still uses cursive.

You got a distinct G with a tail.

Not a lotta people write like that.

(mysterious music)

I first noticed it on the paper at the crime scene,

and then on the graded test inside your tent,

and finally tonight on your release forms.

You figured you'd leave in the middle of the night

and find the treasure yourself and no one would know.

Didn't account for Jackson hearing you leave

and following you.

But he wanted the money for an extravagant wedding,

and you wanted it all for yourself.

(hands scraping)

(tense music)

- What are you doin', man?

What are ya...

You know I need the treasure.

Whoa! - My treasure, man.

- Hey, hey. Hey, hey, hey, hey.

(Jackson grunts)

- [Larsen] You stabbed him with Casey's fountain pen.

(body thuds)

- (breathing heavily) Jackson.

- After you killed Jackson,

you needed a different location to bury the treasure.

You'd asked to borrow the fountain pen earlier that day

to grade test papers.

The paper found at the crime scene

was written with shaded feathery ink.

The pen came back positive for Jackson's blood,

and we have footage of you leaving the crime scene

from another camper's action camera,

on the timeline of Jackson's death.

And now you're here with the treasure.

(engine rumbling) (suspenseful music continues)

(soft suspenseful music)

(phone ringing)

Hello?

- Just wanted to say good work.

Didn't get a chance to say bye, but heard you got your guy.

- Yeah, we did.

(incoming call tone beeps)

Sorry, it's just my dad.

- You should get that.

- Oh, that's okay. I can call him back.

- No, it's late.

Might be important.

- You're right.

Thank you for your help today.

- Happy to do it.

(tone beeps)

- Hey, Dad.

- Hey, kiddo. You busy?

- No, I'm just having a night in with Blue.

- Okay if I swing by?

- Something wrong?

- I wanted to drop off a box of Mom's stuff.

Mementos, photos, that sorta thing.

Thought it might be nice for you to have 'em.

Plus, I wanted to talk to you about something.

- Yeah, of course. Come by.

- Sounds good, bug. See you soon.
