They're all supposed to be experts, which is why I 195 00:11:33,340 --> 00:11:34,940 believed her when she said the hurricane was coming. 196 00:11:35,180 --> 00:11:38,400 One of your friends was kind enough to share with us a few messages you sent 197 00:11:38,400 --> 00:11:39,400 Ava yesterday. 198 00:11:39,780 --> 00:11:43,220 You have no idea what you've cost me. I'm gonna make you pay for this. The 199 00:11:43,220 --> 00:11:44,780 minute I find you, I'm gonna kill you. 200 00:11:45,260 --> 00:11:49,000 I can see why you wanted people to delete those. I wanted them deleted so I 201 00:11:49,000 --> 00:11:50,640 wouldn't look like a murder suspect. 202 00:11:51,080 --> 00:11:55,240 Funny how trying to destroy evidence can backfire that way. I was exaggerating. 203 00:11:55,780 --> 00:11:58,060 Would I have texted all of that if I did kill her? 204 00:11:58,280 --> 00:11:59,280 Why were you so angry? 205 00:11:59,620 --> 00:12:01,280 You didn't get your storm chaser wedding. 206 00:12:01,640 --> 00:12:02,640 So what? 207 00:12:02,660 --> 00:12:04,460 If you're not an influencer, you wouldn't understand. 208 00:12:05,040 --> 00:12:06,040 Try me. 209 00:12:06,260 --> 00:12:10,540 I spent years building a following, and I finally landed a top adventure brand, 210 00:12:11,000 --> 00:12:12,000 Arctic Mountain. 211 00:12:12,220 --> 00:12:15,300 And not just free products and an affiliate code, a real contract. 212 00:12:15,560 --> 00:12:19,040 How much money are we talking? Depending on performance, a lot. 213 00:12:20,000 --> 00:12:23,560 I promised my followers a wedding straight out of a disaster movie. 214 00:12:23,800 --> 00:12:27,580 And instead, I got sunshine and butterflies, and I looked like an idiot. 215 00:12:27,960 --> 00:12:31,080 A few of the people I already interviewed, they all lost track of you 216 00:12:31,080 --> 00:12:32,520 right before Eva's body was discovered. 217 00:12:32,720 --> 00:12:33,720 You run off somewhere? 218 00:12:34,220 --> 00:12:35,220 Well, yeah. 219 00:12:35,400 --> 00:12:36,680 I was moping. 220 00:12:45,070 --> 00:12:47,470 That was taken right before the day was ruined. 221 00:12:47,990 --> 00:12:49,290 Look at that dress. 222 00:12:49,910 --> 00:12:50,910 These nails. 223 00:12:51,630 --> 00:12:55,050 Do you honestly think I went outside and that I beat someone to death? 224 00:12:55,410 --> 00:12:58,970 Because if you do, you should talk to the cops who got to the house first and 225 00:12:58,970 --> 00:13:00,630 ask them if I had a single hair out of place. 226 00:13:01,450 --> 00:13:04,270 It sucks that someone killed Ava, but it wasn't me. 227 00:13:06,270 --> 00:13:07,270 Hey. 228 00:13:07,570 --> 00:13:08,570 It's water. 229 00:13:12,750 --> 00:13:14,310 Your fiancée, she's... 230 00:13:14,620 --> 00:13:15,620 Pretty animated, huh? 231 00:13:16,380 --> 00:13:19,440 Yeah, I'd say animated is sort of her default setting. 232 00:13:20,100 --> 00:13:24,820 But like I said, she didn't kill Ava. She was just mad at her about the mix-up 233 00:13:24,820 --> 00:13:25,739 with the hurricane. 234 00:13:25,740 --> 00:13:26,740 You weren't? 235 00:13:27,500 --> 00:13:29,300 No. It wasn't Ava's fault. 236 00:13:30,920 --> 00:13:31,920 Can I show you something? 237 00:13:32,020 --> 00:13:33,020 Yeah. 238 00:13:34,180 --> 00:13:39,320 Two nights ago, a little after midnight, Ava sent us this. Took it off the site 239 00:13:39,320 --> 00:13:42,300 for the National Hurricane Center. They're the source for things like this. 240 00:13:42,750 --> 00:13:46,330 Right. I mean, I see that's a hurricane, but so what? What am I missing? 241 00:13:47,070 --> 00:13:50,230 This map showed Matilda was over the Abaco Islands. 242 00:13:50,470 --> 00:13:53,290 They're part of the Bahamas, about 180 miles east of Florida. 243 00:13:54,110 --> 00:13:57,210 Along with the high-pressure ridge that forced the storm west. 244 00:13:57,490 --> 00:14:01,290 If a hurricane hits the Abacos, it's basically a lock to hit here. There's 245 00:14:01,290 --> 00:14:05,090 nowhere else for it to go. That's why Ava jumped the gun. The thing is, this 246 00:14:05,090 --> 00:14:07,030 map is wrong. Wrong? Wrong how? 247 00:14:07,290 --> 00:14:10,950 I mean, storms change course all the time. They don't unhit an island. 248 00:14:11,640 --> 00:14:13,380 This is the map that's up now. 249 00:14:14,100 --> 00:14:18,880 It doesn't just say the storm changed course. It says Matilda never hit the 250 00:14:18,880 --> 00:14:23,040 abacus. So, sorry, the first map, the one that Ava saw, it showed something 251 00:14:23,040 --> 00:14:24,040 that never happened? 252 00:14:24,120 --> 00:14:26,980 How does the National Hurricane Center make a mistake like that? 253 00:14:27,200 --> 00:14:30,080 I have no idea, but as mistakes go, it was colossal. 254 00:14:32,260 --> 00:14:36,280 All of Florida woke up yesterday to the news that the hurricane turned, right? 255 00:14:36,990 --> 00:14:39,170 But you must have missed it somehow. 256 00:14:39,470 --> 00:14:42,270 I mean, if you hadn't, you wouldn't have gone ahead with the wedding prep, right? 257 00:14:43,750 --> 00:14:44,910 It's just you and your friends. 258 00:14:45,290 --> 00:14:48,670 You're literally students of the weather. How is it you didn't know the 259 00:14:48,670 --> 00:14:49,670 latest? 260 00:14:50,070 --> 00:14:51,250 I did. 261 00:14:54,410 --> 00:14:57,330 Ava called me early yesterday and told me the storm wasn't coming. 262 00:14:57,970 --> 00:14:59,110 She'd seen the new map. 263 00:14:59,590 --> 00:15:04,610 But by then, Blair was already doing Blair. I just, I couldn't bring myself 264 00:15:04,610 --> 00:15:05,610 to tell her. 265 00:15:05,720 --> 00:15:08,980 And I thought that the us getting married part was more important than the 266 00:15:08,980 --> 00:15:10,360 getting pics for her followers. 267 00:15:11,260 --> 00:15:12,420 I guess I was wrong. 268 00:15:13,120 --> 00:15:14,500 Wedding's on hold to the next hurricane. 269 00:15:14,880 --> 00:15:15,880 I see. 270 00:15:16,780 --> 00:15:18,400 What time did you talk to Ava? 271 00:15:18,760 --> 00:15:23,320 Around 9 a.m. She told me she was heading down to the NHC in Miami. 272 00:15:23,680 --> 00:15:26,520 She wanted to complain about the map in person, and she was ticked. 273 00:15:27,560 --> 00:15:28,560 How ticked? 274 00:15:35,850 --> 00:15:37,910 Yeah, okay. I got it. Thank you so much. 275 00:15:38,350 --> 00:15:41,790 Those two ain't gonna make it. Well, you never know. Love is weird. 276 00:15:42,090 --> 00:15:43,090 You're weird. 277 00:15:43,610 --> 00:15:44,610 What'd you think of the bride? 278 00:15:44,810 --> 00:15:46,850 Didn't like her, as a person or a suspect. 279 00:15:47,230 --> 00:15:50,270 Which is unfortunate, because so far, none of the wedding guests I've talked 280 00:15:50,270 --> 00:15:53,070 to had a reason to hurt Ava, let alone beat her to death. 281 00:15:53,330 --> 00:15:54,510 What if it wasn't a wedding guest? 282 00:15:55,360 --> 00:15:57,900 You know how the bride was ticked at Ava for getting the forecast wrong? 283 00:15:58,400 --> 00:16:01,700 Well, according to the groom, Ava was ticked at the National Hurricane Center. 284 00:16:02,000 --> 00:16:05,060 He said she went down there yesterday to try to get someone fired for posting bad 285 00:16:05,060 --> 00:16:08,660 information. You know if she succeeded? Yeah, a guy named Cody Janzik just got 286 00:16:08,660 --> 00:16:09,619 shown the door. 287 00:16:09,620 --> 00:16:11,520 What do you say? You want a road trip to Miami? 288 00:16:11,800 --> 00:16:14,680 Oof, I can't. I got a dozen more wedding guests coming in to be interviewed. 289 00:16:14,780 --> 00:16:16,160 Plus, I'm waiting on the Emmy's report. 290 00:16:16,420 --> 00:16:20,180 But I have it on good authority. We're still not getting a hurricane, so have a 291 00:16:20,180 --> 00:16:21,180 nice drive. 292 00:16:32,390 --> 00:16:34,850 Hey, 30 minutes?

But the guy that came down here to talk to you 295 00:16:41,530 --> 00:16:42,650 could be in Havana by now. 296 00:16:42,950 --> 00:16:44,250 Ah, karma wouldn't do that to you. 297 00:16:44,970 --> 00:16:48,990 What?

That was the deal his public defender took to 398 00:22:15,170 --> 00:22:16,650 get the death penalty off the table. 399 00:22:16,950 --> 00:22:18,730 Obviously, I wouldn't have settled. 400 00:22:19,470 --> 00:22:22,210 Kelly, this is tough for me to get on board with. 401 00:22:22,570 --> 00:22:27,150 I respect what you're doing, but you're talking about a client who confessed to 402 00:22:27,150 --> 00:22:30,130 killing a police officer. I wouldn't have approached you if I wasn't 403 00:22:30,130 --> 00:22:31,690 convinced that Gabriel didn't do it. 404 00:22:31,970 --> 00:22:36,770 And I'd ask you to imagine the hurdles he's up against, because everyone reacts 405 00:22:36,770 --> 00:22:37,870 the way you're reacting now. 406 00:22:38,470 --> 00:22:40,150 If he didn't do it, why did he confess? 407 00:22:40,800 --> 00:22:41,619 He was 18. 408 00:22:41,620 --> 00:22:44,900 He was exhausted. He was worn down for hours. 409 00:22:45,640 --> 00:22:48,820 And he was in bad withdrawal. 410 00:22:49,620 --> 00:22:53,640 Later, when he retracted the confession, the judge refused to accept it. 411 00:22:54,340 --> 00:22:55,640 Do you believe he's innocent? 412 00:22:55,960 --> 00:22:56,960 In my bones. 413 00:22:57,660 --> 00:23:01,420 And if you knew Gabriel the way I do... Then maybe that's what I need. 414 00:23:02,480 --> 00:23:03,480 To know him. 415 00:23:05,300 --> 00:23:06,620 Can you arrange a visit? 416 00:23:08,060 --> 00:23:09,860 Hey, eyes up when you're walking. 417 00:23:10,430 --> 00:23:13,810 Otherwise, you're gonna fall down the stairs, break your neck, and turn into a 418 00:23:13,810 --> 00:23:14,489 crime scene. 419 00:23:14,490 --> 00:23:16,050 I mean, that would be one way to get my attention. 420 00:23:17,330 --> 00:23:20,010 Well, thank you for saving my life.

Maybe it was just a mugging gone wrong. 428 00:23:36,230 --> 00:23:39,290 I just got this report on other crimes in the area the last few months. Yeah, 429 00:23:39,290 --> 00:23:40,219 and? 430 00:23:40,220 --> 00:23:41,300 A lot of public urination. 431 00:23:41,640 --> 00:23:43,420 Like a concerning amount.

Because we 449 00:24:31,840 --> 00:24:32,840 should talk. 450 00:24:33,220 --> 00:24:34,220 Yeah. 451 00:24:36,220 --> 00:24:37,560 Hey. Hey. 452 00:24:37,850 --> 00:24:40,010 Emmy's report on Ava Kuang. We need to see it. 453 00:24:40,290 --> 00:24:41,290 Okay. 454 00:24:42,650 --> 00:24:46,490 Lung force, trauma, multiple impacts, broken bones, internal bleeding. So far, 455 00:24:46,530 --> 00:24:48,830 it's what we expected, yeah? Trust me, it isn't. Keep reading. 456 00:24:53,510 --> 00:24:54,790 She had water in her lungs? 457 00:24:55,110 --> 00:24:56,270 Cause of death was drowning. 458 00:24:56,490 --> 00:24:59,290 And that's not the half of it. They pulled debris from her wounds. 459 00:25:00,050 --> 00:25:02,750 Vegetation, building materials, and those internal injuries. 460 00:25:02,990 --> 00:25:05,410 It's like they were sustained at over 100 miles an hour. 461 00:25:05,770 --> 00:25:08,790 If the Emmy didn't know better, he'd say Ava Kwan died in a hurricane. 462 00:25:09,010 --> 00:25:12,510 Yeah, that doesn't make sense. Matilda never made landfall. This is my point. 463 00:25:13,010 --> 00:25:15,470 How's somebody killed by a hurricane that never came? 464 00:25:17,690 --> 00:25:22,350 They're cranking it up to 80 miles an hour now. I'm trying to be tough, but 465 00:25:22,350 --> 00:25:25,750 I'm not sure how much more I can... That's how you get hurricane injuries 466 00:25:25,750 --> 00:25:26,750 without a hurricane. 467 00:25:27,130 --> 00:25:28,190 A hurricane simulator. 468 00:25:28,610 --> 00:25:32,470 Yeah. I remember my client talking about the research she did with Ava Kwan, so I 469 00:25:32,470 --> 00:25:33,470 looked into it. 470 00:25:33,560 --> 00:25:37,100 Their school is a simulator just like this. You load enough debris, you blast 471 00:25:37,100 --> 00:25:38,800 enough water, you can demolish a house. 472 00:25:39,100 --> 00:25:42,240 You think someone used it to demolish Ava Kwan? It's a pretty elaborate way to 473 00:25:42,240 --> 00:25:44,620 kill someone. I know, but it makes sense if you think a hurricane is coming. 474 00:25:44,880 --> 00:25:47,980 Use a simulator to kill Ava. Dump her body outside the wedding where you know 475 00:25:47,980 --> 00:25:49,860 she's expected to be. Until it detects the blame. 476 00:25:50,080 --> 00:25:52,120 The simulator at your client's school. You got an address? 477 00:25:53,710 --> 00:25:56,070 Detective, I'm sorry, but I'm not buying it. 478 00:25:56,410 --> 00:26:00,150 This group is like a family. No one here would have heard Ava, let alone lock her 479 00:26:00,150 --> 00:26:00,969 in a simulator. 480 00:26:00,970 --> 00:26:02,310 Well, for their sakes, I hope you're right. 481 00:26:02,730 --> 00:26:05,290 Meantime, I'm going to need a list of everyone who has access to this place. 482 00:26:05,510 --> 00:26:06,690 Can you put that together for me? 483 00:26:07,170 --> 00:26:08,170 Of course. 484 00:26:15,750 --> 00:26:17,750 I feel like I'm inside the world's biggest dishwasher. 485 00:26:18,840 --> 00:26:20,780 Yeah, unfortunately, that's a pretty good analogy. 486 00:26:21,140 --> 00:26:25,500 One of the staff said these fans get up to 140 miles an hour. The water gets 487 00:26:25,500 --> 00:26:29,020 pumped in at 1,000 gallons a minute. The whole thing goes from a breeze to a 488 00:26:29,020 --> 00:26:30,020 Category 4 hurricane. 489 00:26:30,600 --> 00:26:31,600 Push of a button. 490 00:26:31,640 --> 00:26:34,660 In other words, if the murder did happen here, all the evidence probably got 491 00:26:34,660 --> 00:26:35,660 washed down the drains. 492 00:26:35,740 --> 00:26:37,860 Detective, something you should see. 493 00:26:39,880 --> 00:26:40,940 The store with the dent? 494 00:26:41,360 --> 00:26:43,060 Recently cleaned.
