1
00:00:01,173 --> 00:00:02,243
<i>Previously on</i>R.J. Decker...

2
00:00:02,381 --> 00:00:03,693
I didn't do it.

3
00:00:05,522 --> 00:00:07,766
I would never have done it.

4
00:00:08,870 --> 00:00:11,735
<i>Emilia Ochoa was arrested</i> <i>for murder earlier this week,</i>

5
00:00:11,873 --> 00:00:13,703
but with today's
stunning development,

6
00:00:13,841 --> 00:00:16,913
all charges against Ms. Ochoa
have been dropped.

7
00:00:17,051 --> 00:00:20,537
If you asked me 15 years ago
what I wanted to do with my life,

8
00:00:20,675 --> 00:00:22,746
I would have told you
I wanted to help people.

9
00:00:22,884 --> 00:00:25,749
I just need to, I don't know...

10
00:00:26,888 --> 00:00:29,857
try to find that version
of myself again. - Who's Trudy?

11
00:00:29,995 --> 00:00:35,449
Trudy is this cute CSU tech
Uncle R.J. is trying to vibe with.

12
00:00:35,587 --> 00:00:39,453
I met your friend Trudy.
Ask that girl out. She likes you.

13
00:00:54,399 --> 00:00:59,335
Growing-up in
a funeral home, you develop a high comfort level for gross.

14
00:00:59,473 --> 00:01:01,061
- For gross? Oh.
- Yeah. Gross.

15
00:01:01,199 --> 00:01:03,649
It's part of what steered me
to the Crime Scene Unit, obviously.

16
00:01:03,787 --> 00:01:06,652
- Right?
- Yeah. You okay?

17
00:01:06,790 --> 00:01:09,621
No, I'm just thinking you do
have a... a high comfort level

18
00:01:09,759 --> 00:01:11,485
with-with-with a lot of things.

19
00:01:11,623 --> 00:01:15,696
And, you know, for a guy
who spent time in prison, you surprisingly don't.

20
00:01:15,834 --> 00:01:17,007
You know about that?

21
00:01:17,146 --> 00:01:18,871
It's the other reason
I wanted to work CSU.

22
00:01:19,009 --> 00:01:20,597
You know, I could request
background checks.

23
00:01:21,874 --> 00:01:23,152
I'm kidding.

24
00:01:24,808 --> 00:01:25,913
Are you having a good time?

25
00:01:26,051 --> 00:01:27,501
I'm having a great time.

26
00:01:27,639 --> 00:01:32,264
Me too. I am, really.
It's just a lot going on here.

27
00:01:32,402 --> 00:01:35,302
It's a funny place
for a first date given all the distractions,

28
00:01:35,440 --> 00:01:37,027
but no...
...I'm having a great time.

29
00:01:37,166 --> 00:01:39,823
Well, if you think
it's distracting now, wait for feeding time.

30
00:01:39,961 --> 00:01:42,516
I mean, they...
they dump chum in from the top.

31
00:01:42,654 --> 00:01:44,552
And it gets all bloody
and there's--

32
00:01:44,690 --> 00:01:46,623
You're just gonna keep on
messing with me, huh?

33
00:01:46,761 --> 00:01:48,142
I'll stop.

34
00:01:48,280 --> 00:01:50,282
Someday. Probably.

35
00:01:53,630 --> 00:01:56,599
You know, I really...
I really don't feel threatened by mermaids.

36
00:01:58,187 --> 00:01:59,602
I can do things they can't.

37
00:02:00,223 --> 00:02:01,500
What, like walk?

38
00:02:02,294 --> 00:02:05,297
Sure, that's what I meant.
Walk. Mm-hmm.

39
00:02:07,575 --> 00:02:09,853
Oh, sorry.

40
00:02:11,890 --> 00:02:13,374
Oh, uh...

41
00:02:13,512 --> 00:02:15,894
Damn it, I'm sorry.
I-I-I have to go. - Right now?

42
00:02:16,032 --> 00:02:17,965
Yeah,
the evidence fridge lost power.

43
00:02:18,103 --> 00:02:19,725
The backup generator
is on the fritz,

44
00:02:19,863 --> 00:02:22,211
and I need to move the samples
before they're toast.

45
00:02:22,349 --> 00:02:25,490
- I'm sorry.
- Oh. It's okay. I... Do you need help?

46
00:02:25,628 --> 00:02:26,939
Uh! Well, points for chivalry.

47
00:02:27,077 --> 00:02:29,287
Actually, more points
for wanting to move our date

48
00:02:29,425 --> 00:02:31,012
to a walk-in fridge filled
with yuck,

49
00:02:31,151 --> 00:02:33,843
but yeah, you're not authorized
to maintain the chain of custody.

50
00:02:33,981 --> 00:02:37,191
So, thank you, though.
But you-you stay, stay. Enjoy yourself.

51
00:02:37,329 --> 00:02:39,020
Come on.
Um, I think she likes you.

52
00:02:41,644 --> 00:02:43,853
Hi.

53
00:02:44,578 --> 00:02:46,373
Everything is ruined.

54
00:02:46,511 --> 00:02:48,651
Blair, I know you're upset,
but we can still make the best of this, right?

55
00:02:48,789 --> 00:02:49,928
Today isn't about the weather.

56
00:02:50,066 --> 00:02:51,757
Have you looked outside?

57
00:02:51,895 --> 00:02:53,759
The photos
are gonna be terrible.

58
00:02:58,385 --> 00:03:01,215
What am I supposed
to do with... this?

59
00:03:02,906 --> 00:03:05,219
We might as well
not even get married.

60
00:03:05,357 --> 00:03:07,083
I wouldn't go that far.

61
00:03:07,221 --> 00:03:11,087
No?
Ava promised us a hurricane.

62
00:03:12,053 --> 00:03:14,987
"This one's guaranteed
to hit," she said.

63
00:03:15,125 --> 00:03:18,301
- She didn't say, "Guaranteed."
- Whatever! 90%!

64
00:03:18,439 --> 00:03:21,131
And... ...by the way,
if you guys can be that wrong,

65
00:03:21,270 --> 00:03:22,409
what are you even studying?

66
00:03:23,203 --> 00:03:26,240
It's a little more
complicated than that. - No, it's simple.

67
00:03:26,378 --> 00:03:30,348
Ava promised me a hurricane,
and I promised my followers a hurricane wedding.

68
00:03:30,486 --> 00:03:34,455
Dramatic photos, pounding rain,
dark, angry skies.

69
00:03:34,593 --> 00:03:37,562
That sky is so pleasant
I could puke.

70
00:03:37,700 --> 00:03:39,564
Where are you going?

71
00:03:39,702 --> 00:03:40,875
To find Ava.

72
00:03:52,059 --> 00:03:56,097
♪ <i>Hurricane Matilda</i>
<i>Hurricane Matilda ♪</i> - Guys.

73
00:03:56,236 --> 00:03:57,651
- ♪ <i>A low-pressure trough ♪</i>
- Guys. Guys!

74
00:03:57,789 --> 00:03:59,411
<i>- ♪ Sent Matilda to sea ♪</i>
- Guys.

75
00:03:59,549 --> 00:04:01,068
What are you doing?

76
00:04:01,206 --> 00:04:03,070
Well, Matilda's a no-show,
so we're officially calling this

77
00:04:03,208 --> 00:04:04,796
- a "No Hurricane Party."
- Right.

78
00:04:04,934 --> 00:04:07,902
Whatever life
throws at you, dude, you got to make lemonade.

79
00:04:08,040 --> 00:04:09,179
You know what I'm saying?

80
00:04:09,318 --> 00:04:11,596
Okay, I'm glad you're
having a good time.

81
00:04:11,734 --> 00:04:13,632
Let's cool it on
the "no hurricane" talk, okay?

82
00:04:13,770 --> 00:04:16,083
Blair's a little touchy
about that right now.

83
00:04:16,221 --> 00:04:17,809
And maybe it's time
to cut Patrick off.

84
00:04:17,947 --> 00:04:19,638
Hey, I Ubered.

85
00:04:19,776 --> 00:04:20,950
Have you guys seen Ava?

86
00:04:21,088 --> 00:04:23,435
I saw her car outside,
so she's around here somewhere.

87
00:04:23,573 --> 00:04:25,403
I need to find her
before Blair does.

88
00:04:53,638 --> 00:04:56,296
<i>Hi, you've reached Ava.</i>
<i>Leave a message.</i>

89
00:05:37,371 --> 00:05:41,824
Thank you.
Kelly! - Emi, thanks for meeting me.

90
00:05:41,962 --> 00:05:44,240
It was so good to hear
from you.

91
00:05:44,378 --> 00:05:45,759
The last time I saw you was--

92
00:05:45,897 --> 00:05:49,452
Professor Holt's
retirement party. Three or four years ago.

93
00:05:49,590 --> 00:05:52,559
I thought we were
gonna have to cancel. I was bracing for a hurricane.

94
00:05:52,697 --> 00:05:54,940
Yeah, you and the whole
coastline. We got lucky.

95
00:05:55,078 --> 00:05:56,563
Yes, we did.

96
00:05:56,701 --> 00:05:58,806
- Thank you.
- Thank you.

97
00:05:58,944 --> 00:06:02,051
I really appreciated
your message when I was going through everything.

98
00:06:02,189 --> 00:06:03,708
I'd have offered to do more,

99
00:06:03,846 --> 00:06:05,986
but I heard you were
with Ballmer, Simms and Gutiérrez, so...

100
00:06:06,124 --> 00:06:07,125
I was in good hands.

101
00:06:07,263 --> 00:06:08,333
The best.

102
00:06:09,196 --> 00:06:10,749
What?

103
00:06:11,301 --> 00:06:14,097
Just wondering
when you got so modest.

104
00:06:15,133 --> 00:06:16,859
I remember you saying
back in law school

105
00:06:16,997 --> 00:06:20,069
you were going to be
the scariest flipping defense attorney in Florida.

106
00:06:20,207 --> 00:06:21,277
Only you didn't say flipping.

107
00:06:21,415 --> 00:06:23,141
I am pretty scary, huh?

108
00:06:23,279 --> 00:06:24,694
To a prosecutor, yes.

109
00:06:24,832 --> 00:06:27,076
To someone who held your hair

110
00:06:27,214 --> 00:06:30,079
after you were "overserved" at
Finney's Tavern one night?

111
00:06:32,288 --> 00:06:34,704
You and that steel trap
that you call a brain.

112
00:06:34,842 --> 00:06:37,293
Glad I never had to face off
against you in a courtroom.

113
00:06:39,882 --> 00:06:42,747
Reason I called you
is because my firm and I

114
00:06:42,885 --> 00:06:45,612
were wondering
if you could help with a case.

115
00:06:45,750 --> 00:06:47,924
Someone who we believe
was falsely accused,

116
00:06:48,062 --> 00:06:49,167
like yourself.

117
00:06:50,064 --> 00:06:51,963
You know
I haven't practiced in years, right?

118
00:06:52,101 --> 00:06:54,724
We were thinking it might help
in a different capacity.

119
00:06:54,862 --> 00:06:57,451
You know
the kind of clients we usually represent.

120
00:06:57,589 --> 00:06:59,833
People who can't afford
Ballmer, Simms and Gutiérrez.

121
00:06:59,971 --> 00:07:03,664
People without your cachet,
people without your connections,

122
00:07:03,802 --> 00:07:05,942
people who the media
aren't so kind to.

123
00:07:06,080 --> 00:07:09,187
You have become
the face of how the system can get it wrong.

124
00:07:09,325 --> 00:07:12,362
Uh, or at least you could
become the face.

125
00:07:12,501 --> 00:07:15,745
So you're thinking
if I show up at a... a press conference or two

126
00:07:15,883 --> 00:07:17,471
to help draw attention
to your client's case...

127
00:07:17,609 --> 00:07:19,197
He might get a fairer shake.

128
00:07:19,335 --> 00:07:22,683
I'd have to think about it,
not to mention learn about the case.

129
00:07:22,821 --> 00:07:25,065
I'd expect nothing less.

130
00:07:25,203 --> 00:07:27,688
His name is Gabriel Romero.
Look it over.

131
00:07:27,826 --> 00:07:31,002
If there's anything more
you want to know, just ask.

132
00:07:34,971 --> 00:07:35,972
Can I see?

133
00:07:36,801 --> 00:07:38,768
Okay, so that's Ava,
the victim?

134
00:07:38,906 --> 00:07:40,632
We paired up
as research partners a lot.

135
00:07:40,770 --> 00:07:43,428
Here you go.
In meteorology, right?

136
00:07:43,566 --> 00:07:45,326
Not exactly, but close.

137
00:07:45,465 --> 00:07:48,398
She was atmospheric science.
I'm environmental engineering.

138
00:07:48,537 --> 00:07:53,783
So we tested things
like how roof shingles will hold up in extreme wind.

139
00:07:53,921 --> 00:07:55,302
How would you do that?

140
00:07:55,440 --> 00:07:56,683
You blast extreme wind at them.

141
00:07:56,821 --> 00:07:58,374
Yeah, makes sense.

142
00:07:59,375 --> 00:08:01,791
Sloane, can I ask why
you're hiring a PI?

143
00:08:01,929 --> 00:08:04,967
I mean, I talked to
a friend with the FLPD.

144
00:08:05,105 --> 00:08:07,176
They're already treating
Ava's case as a homicide.

145
00:08:07,314 --> 00:08:09,799
I don't mean to be
disrespectful to your friend,

146
00:08:09,937 --> 00:08:14,010
but statistically, about 40%
of homicides go unsolved.

147
00:08:14,148 --> 00:08:16,047
I-I don't want that
to happen to Ava.

148
00:08:16,634 --> 00:08:19,706
I'm hoping you can improve
those odds.

149
00:08:19,844 --> 00:08:22,985
And are you aware of
the condition the body was found in?

150
00:08:23,123 --> 00:08:25,884
I mean, it sounds
like she was, uh, she was beaten pretty badly.

151
00:08:26,022 --> 00:08:28,093
Anybody in her life
that maybe had a bad temper

152
00:08:28,231 --> 00:08:30,613
or maybe a boyfriend that
she shouldn't have been with?

153
00:08:30,751 --> 00:08:32,477
She didn't have a boyfriend.

154
00:08:32,615 --> 00:08:34,306
Uh, but you could ask Heather.

155
00:08:34,444 --> 00:08:37,068
That's her old roommate.
She might know something I don't.

156
00:08:37,206 --> 00:08:38,241
Were they close?

157
00:08:38,379 --> 00:08:40,036
Kind of the opposite.

158
00:08:40,174 --> 00:08:42,522
They had a falling out
and then Heather moved into her own place.

159
00:08:43,108 --> 00:08:47,388
Oh, God. You don't think
Heather could've had something to do with it, do you?

160
00:08:55,880 --> 00:08:58,296
- Hey.
- Welcome.

161
00:08:58,434 --> 00:08:59,642
Thanks.

162
00:09:00,367 --> 00:09:02,956
Touch anything
that calls to you.

163
00:09:03,094 --> 00:09:04,371
Except Kevin.

164
00:09:05,545 --> 00:09:07,926
The cat. He's here somewhere.

165
00:09:08,064 --> 00:09:09,376
We honor his autonomy.

166
00:09:10,239 --> 00:09:11,274
Of course.

167
00:09:14,381 --> 00:09:16,383
You feel to me like...

168
00:09:17,315 --> 00:09:18,419
A seeker.

169
00:09:18,558 --> 00:09:21,388
Oh. Well, I am looking
for some answers.

170
00:09:21,526 --> 00:09:23,252
You're Heather, right?

171
00:09:23,390 --> 00:09:25,426
I'm R.J. Decker.
I'm a private investigator.

172
00:09:25,565 --> 00:09:29,292
I'd like to ask you
a few questions about your ex-roommate, Ava Kwon.

173
00:09:29,430 --> 00:09:31,985
What's she saying I did now?

174
00:09:32,123 --> 00:09:35,713
Well, she's not
saying much of anything. She was killed yesterday.

175
00:09:38,025 --> 00:09:41,132
Sorry, it's just... ...a lot to take in.

176
00:09:41,270 --> 00:09:42,754
Do you mind telling me
where you were

177
00:09:42,892 --> 00:09:45,861
yesterday afternoon between,
say, 3:00 and 6:00?

178
00:09:45,999 --> 00:09:47,656
What, you think I killed her?

179
00:09:47,794 --> 00:09:50,210
Well, I...
I wouldn't call you a strong suspect,

180
00:09:50,348 --> 00:09:52,281
but I have to ask.

181
00:09:52,419 --> 00:09:56,147
A-Ava's classmate Sloane,
she, uh, she got the impression you guys didn't get along.

182
00:09:56,285 --> 00:09:57,873
She said you moved out.

183
00:09:58,011 --> 00:10:01,911
I was right here working. Security cameras will show it.

184
00:10:02,049 --> 00:10:05,984
As for me moving out,
I'm pretty sure that's what Ava wanted.

185
00:10:06,122 --> 00:10:09,160
She kept making up
things to be upset about.

186
00:10:09,298 --> 00:10:10,471
I left the showerhead wrong.

187
00:10:10,610 --> 00:10:12,681
I parked in her parking space.

188
00:10:13,474 --> 00:10:14,993
Said I stole
a pair of earrings.

189
00:10:15,131 --> 00:10:16,754
And none of that was true?

190
00:10:16,892 --> 00:10:21,793
I think she just
wanted to live alone, so I gave her what she wanted.

191
00:10:22,794 --> 00:10:24,313
I can show you the texts.

192
00:10:25,210 --> 00:10:27,212
- Huh.
- "Huh," what?

193
00:10:27,350 --> 00:10:29,525
The wedding you said
Ava was killed at?

194
00:10:29,663 --> 00:10:32,528
The bride, Blair,
she started a group text with all the guests.

195
00:10:32,666 --> 00:10:34,910
I stopped paying attention
'cause I didn't go.

196
00:10:35,048 --> 00:10:40,398
Today she's on it, asking
people to "erase those things I said yesterday about Ava.

197
00:10:40,536 --> 00:10:42,158
Better if the cops
don't see that."

198
00:10:42,296 --> 00:10:43,988
Okay, sorry,
what exactly did she say?

199
00:10:44,126 --> 00:10:45,161
I'm looking.

200
00:10:45,714 --> 00:10:48,268
It's supposed to be this
whole storm-chaser wedding.

201
00:10:48,406 --> 00:10:49,994
The wedding
was only a go because

202
00:10:50,132 --> 00:10:52,755
Ava was positive that
the hurricane was coming.

203
00:10:54,343 --> 00:10:55,655
What?

204
00:10:55,793 --> 00:10:59,486
When the hurricane didn't come,
Blair was pissed at Ava.

205
00:10:59,624 --> 00:11:03,524
Sorry, she was
upset her wedding wasn't going to get rained on?

206
00:11:03,663 --> 00:11:05,112
It's not what brides
usually want,

207
00:11:05,250 --> 00:11:07,321
but still, people don't tend
to kill over the weather.

208
00:11:07,459 --> 00:11:08,875
Are you sure about that?

209
00:11:09,807 --> 00:11:11,463
Because those texts
that Blair's asking people

210
00:11:11,601 --> 00:11:13,327
to delete before
the cops see them,

211
00:11:14,328 --> 00:11:16,572
they literally say
she's going to kill her.

212
00:11:23,683 --> 00:11:26,375
I barely knew Ava.
I didn't even like her.

213
00:11:26,513 --> 00:11:28,964
Okay, you're not doing yourself
any favors leading with that.

214
00:11:29,102 --> 00:11:33,002
I just mean Ava
was Ryan's friend. One of his weather nerds.

215
00:11:33,140 --> 00:11:34,832
They're all supposed
to be experts,

216
00:11:34,970 --> 00:11:36,765
which is why I believed her
when she said the hurricane was coming.

217
00:11:36,903 --> 00:11:39,008
One of your friends
was kind enough to share with us

218
00:11:39,146 --> 00:11:41,286
a few messages
you sent Ava yesterday.

219
00:11:41,424 --> 00:11:44,393
"You have no idea what
you've cost me. I'm going to make you pay for this.

220
00:11:44,531 --> 00:11:46,878
The minute I find you,
I'm going to kill you."

221
00:11:47,016 --> 00:11:49,570
I can see why you wanted
people to delete those.

222
00:11:49,709 --> 00:11:52,504
I wanted them deleted
so I wouldn't look like a murder suspect.

223
00:11:52,642 --> 00:11:54,921
Funny how trying
to destroy evidence can backfire that way.

224
00:11:55,059 --> 00:11:57,509
I was exaggerating.

225
00:11:57,647 --> 00:11:59,995
Would I have texted all of that
if I did kill her?

226
00:12:00,133 --> 00:12:01,444
Why were you so angry?

227
00:12:01,582 --> 00:12:04,068
You didn't get
your storm-chaser wedding, so what?

228
00:12:04,206 --> 00:12:06,656
If you're not an influencer,
you wouldn't understand.

229
00:12:06,795 --> 00:12:07,830
Try me.

230
00:12:07,968 --> 00:12:10,143
I spent years building
a following,

231
00:12:10,281 --> 00:12:13,940
and I finally landed
a top adventure brand, Arctic Mountain.

232
00:12:14,078 --> 00:12:17,012
And not just free products
and an affiliate code, a real contract.

233
00:12:17,150 --> 00:12:21,154
- How much money are we talking?
- Depending on performance, a lot.

234
00:12:22,086 --> 00:12:25,572
I promised my followers
a wedding straight out of a disaster movie,

235
00:12:25,710 --> 00:12:28,023
and instead,
I got sunshine and butterflies,

236
00:12:28,161 --> 00:12:29,645
and I looked like an idiot.

237
00:12:29,783 --> 00:12:31,647
A few of the people
I already interviewed,

238
00:12:31,785 --> 00:12:34,443
they all lost track of you
right before Ava's body was discovered.

239
00:12:34,581 --> 00:12:35,616
You run off somewhere?

240
00:12:35,755 --> 00:12:39,137
Well, yeah.
I was moping.

241
00:12:43,555 --> 00:12:44,660
Look.

242
00:12:46,662 --> 00:12:49,527
That was taken
right before the day was ruined.

243
00:12:49,665 --> 00:12:53,013
Look at that dress.
These nails.

244
00:12:53,703 --> 00:12:57,293
Do you honestly think I went
outside and that I beat someone to death?

245
00:12:57,431 --> 00:13:00,331
'Cause if you do,
you should talk to the cops who got to the house first,

246
00:13:00,469 --> 00:13:02,851
and ask them if I had
a single hair out of place.

247
00:13:03,506 --> 00:13:06,406
It sucks that
someone killed Ava, but it wasn't me.

248
00:13:08,028 --> 00:13:10,444
Hey. It's water.

249
00:13:14,759 --> 00:13:17,866
Your fiancé,
she's pretty animated, huh?

250
00:13:18,004 --> 00:13:21,317
Yeah, I'd say animated is
sort of her default setting.

251
00:13:22,111 --> 00:13:23,872
But like I said,
she didn't kill Ava.

252
00:13:24,010 --> 00:13:27,116
She was just mad at her about
the mix-up with the hurricane.

253
00:13:27,254 --> 00:13:28,497
You weren't?

254
00:13:29,360 --> 00:13:31,500
No, it wasn't Ava's fault.

255
00:13:32,950 --> 00:13:34,606
- Can I show you something?
- Yeah.

256
00:13:36,160 --> 00:13:40,026
Two nights ago,
a little after midnight, Ava sent us this.

257
00:13:40,164 --> 00:13:42,062
Took it off the site for
the National Hurricane Center.

258
00:13:42,200 --> 00:13:44,375
They're the source
for things like this.

259
00:13:44,513 --> 00:13:47,378
Right. I mean,
I-I see that's a hurricane, but so what?

260
00:13:47,516 --> 00:13:48,966
What am I missing?

261
00:13:49,104 --> 00:13:52,107
This map showed Matilda
was over the Abaco Islands.

262
00:13:52,245 --> 00:13:55,075
They're part of the Bahamas,
about 180 miles east of Florida.

263
00:13:56,111 --> 00:13:59,114
Along with
the high-pressure ridge that forces the storm west,

264
00:13:59,252 --> 00:14:02,600
if a hurricane hits the Abacos,
it's basically a lock to hit here.

265
00:14:02,738 --> 00:14:04,050
There's nowhere else
for it to go.

266
00:14:04,188 --> 00:14:05,361
That's why Ava jumped the gun.

267
00:14:05,499 --> 00:14:07,743
Thing is, this map is wrong.

268
00:14:07,881 --> 00:14:08,986
Wrong? Wrong, how?

269
00:14:09,124 --> 00:14:10,608
I mean, storms change course
all the time.

270
00:14:10,746 --> 00:14:12,852
They don't unhit an island.

271
00:14:12,990 --> 00:14:15,613
This is the map that's up now.

272
00:14:15,751 --> 00:14:18,098
It doesn't just say
the storm changed course.

273
00:14:18,236 --> 00:14:21,619
It says Matilda
never hit the Abacos.

274
00:14:21,757 --> 00:14:23,863
So, sorry, the first map,
the one that Ava saw,

275
00:14:24,001 --> 00:14:25,934
it showed something
that never happened?

276
00:14:26,072 --> 00:14:28,695
How does
the National Hurricane Center make a mistake like that?

277
00:14:28,833 --> 00:14:29,903
I have no idea.

278
00:14:30,041 --> 00:14:32,561
But as mistakes go,
it was colossal.

279
00:14:34,287 --> 00:14:38,774
All of Florida woke up
yesterday to the news that the hurricane turned, right?

280
00:14:38,912 --> 00:14:40,949
But you, you-you must have
missed it somehow.

281
00:14:41,087 --> 00:14:44,400
I mean, if you hadn't,
you wouldn't have gone ahead with the wedding prep, right?

282
00:14:45,781 --> 00:14:48,957
It's just you and your friends,
you're literally students of the weather.

283
00:14:49,095 --> 00:14:51,580
How is it
you didn't know the latest?

284
00:14:51,718 --> 00:14:53,685
I did.

285
00:14:56,412 --> 00:14:59,450
Ava called me early yesterday
and told me the storm wasn't coming.

286
00:14:59,588 --> 00:15:01,452
She'd seen the new map.

287
00:15:01,590 --> 00:15:04,455
But by then Blair
was already doing Blair.

288
00:15:04,593 --> 00:15:07,113
I-I just... I couldn't bring
myself to tell her.

289
00:15:07,251 --> 00:15:09,770
And I thought that
the us-getting-married part was

290
00:15:09,909 --> 00:15:13,153
more important than
the getting pics for her followers.

291
00:15:13,291 --> 00:15:14,637
I guess I was wrong.

292
00:15:14,775 --> 00:15:16,536
The wedding's on hold
till the next hurricane.

293
00:15:16,674 --> 00:15:17,709
I see.

294
00:15:18,779 --> 00:15:20,574
What time did you talk to Ava?

295
00:15:20,712 --> 00:15:22,507
Around 9:00 a.m.

296
00:15:22,645 --> 00:15:25,510
She told me she was
heading down to the NHC in Miami.

297
00:15:25,648 --> 00:15:28,410
She wanted to complain
about the map in person. She was ticked.

298
00:15:29,480 --> 00:15:30,688
How ticked?

299
00:15:37,005 --> 00:15:40,111
Yeah, okay, I got it. Thank you so much.

300
00:15:40,249 --> 00:15:42,113
Those two ain't gonna make it.

301
00:15:42,251 --> 00:15:45,013
Well, you never know.
Love is weird. - You're weird.

302
00:15:45,151 --> 00:15:46,497
What do you think of the bride?

303
00:15:46,635 --> 00:15:48,878
Didn't like her
as a person or a suspect.

304
00:15:49,017 --> 00:15:52,227
Which is unfortunate because so
far none of the wedding guests I've talked to

305
00:15:52,365 --> 00:15:54,919
had a reason to hurt Ava,
let alone beat her to death.

306
00:15:55,057 --> 00:15:56,748
What if it wasn't
a wedding guest?

307
00:15:56,886 --> 00:16:00,235
You know how
the bride was ticked at Ava for getting the forecast wrong?

308
00:16:00,373 --> 00:16:03,617
Well, according to the groom,
Ava was ticked at the National Hurricane Center.

309
00:16:03,755 --> 00:16:05,136
He said she went
down there yesterday

310
00:16:05,274 --> 00:16:07,138
to try to get someone fired
for posting bad information.

311
00:16:07,276 --> 00:16:08,864
- Do we know if she succeeded?
- Yeah.

312
00:16:09,002 --> 00:16:11,384
A guy named Cody Janczyk
just got shown the door.

313
00:16:11,522 --> 00:16:13,696
What do you say?
You want a road trip to Miami?

314
00:16:13,834 --> 00:16:16,906
I can't. I've got
a dozen more wedding guests coming in to be interviewed.

315
00:16:17,045 --> 00:16:19,219
Plus I'm waiting
on the ME's report. But I have it on good authority

316
00:16:19,357 --> 00:16:22,705
we're still not
getting a hurricane, so have a nice drive.

317
00:16:31,369 --> 00:16:34,821
- Excuse me, excuse me.
- Hey.

318
00:16:35,477 --> 00:16:36,996
Thirty minutes.
Are you serious?

319
00:16:37,134 --> 00:16:39,791
Like I told you,
best pastelitos this side of Havana.

320
00:16:39,929 --> 00:16:41,655
They're not just Kayla's
favorite, they're everyone's.

321
00:16:41,793 --> 00:16:44,417
Well, the guy
came down here to talk to, he could be in Havana by now.

322
00:16:44,555 --> 00:16:47,351
Nah, karma
wouldn't do that to you. - What?

323
00:16:47,489 --> 00:16:49,767
You just helped a friend
inch that much closer

324
00:16:49,905 --> 00:16:51,596
to winning the heart
of his would-be woman.

325
00:16:51,734 --> 00:16:54,841
No, you did right by me,
universe'll do right by you.

326
00:16:56,601 --> 00:16:57,740
- Eventually.
- Eventually.

327
00:16:57,878 --> 00:16:59,225
- Yeah.
- Yeah.

328
00:16:59,363 --> 00:17:00,778
Speaking of would-be women,
you still haven't told me

329
00:17:00,916 --> 00:17:02,366
how your date
with Trudy went yet.

330
00:17:03,574 --> 00:17:05,024
Yeah, it was fine.

331
00:17:05,679 --> 00:17:09,407
No, no, no.
Don't give me no, "Fine." Wish wants dish, son.

332
00:17:11,202 --> 00:17:13,653
Of course, unless it went,
you know, real bad.

333
00:17:13,791 --> 00:17:17,519
No, it wasn't bad.
It was just hard to settle in.

334
00:17:17,657 --> 00:17:19,900
I was just... I was in my head.
I was overthinking things.

335
00:17:20,039 --> 00:17:22,179
It just made me wonder
if a second date made much sense.

336
00:17:22,317 --> 00:17:25,699
- That's all.
- Arj, it's rust.

337
00:17:27,115 --> 00:17:29,117
You haven't been on a real date
in, what, years?

338
00:17:29,255 --> 00:17:32,361
Mmm? You married Catherine,
then unmarried Catherine.

339
00:17:32,499 --> 00:17:35,295
Then you went to prison, where,
if memory serves, no dates.

340
00:17:35,433 --> 00:17:38,712
Then you got out and you gave
everything you had to your new business.

341
00:17:39,541 --> 00:17:41,232
I think you might be
forgetting someone.

342
00:17:41,370 --> 00:17:43,579
Emi don't count.
That... That wasn't dating.

343
00:17:43,717 --> 00:17:45,374
Now, honestly,
I don't know what that was.

344
00:17:46,375 --> 00:17:47,583
Did y'all kiss?

345
00:17:47,721 --> 00:17:49,206
Come on, Wish.
I mean, what didn't we do?

346
00:17:49,344 --> 00:17:51,898
No, not... not Emi.
You and Trudy.

347
00:17:52,036 --> 00:17:54,314
No, she had a work thing
that came up. She had to split.

348
00:17:54,452 --> 00:17:56,282
Well, then, trust your boy.

349
00:17:56,903 --> 00:17:59,768
Book that second date,
get that first kiss.

350
00:18:00,458 --> 00:18:02,081
Then see how
in your head you are.

351
00:18:02,909 --> 00:18:03,944
Okay.

352
00:18:11,573 --> 00:18:14,265
He look like a man who just
cleaned out his office to you?

353
00:18:14,403 --> 00:18:18,166
No. All right.
How you wanna play this?

354
00:18:18,959 --> 00:18:20,616
You stay here,
you watch your pastries.

355
00:18:20,754 --> 00:18:23,550
If he needs
any romantic advice, I'll-I'll give you a signal.

356
00:18:29,280 --> 00:18:30,488
Cody Janczyk?

357
00:18:31,489 --> 00:18:32,697
- Hey, how you doing?
- Hey.

358
00:18:32,835 --> 00:18:34,596
I'm R.J. Decker.
I'm a private investigator.

359
00:18:34,734 --> 00:18:37,599
I was hoping I could ask you
a few questions about Ava Kwon.

360
00:18:38,427 --> 00:18:39,670
- Who?
- Ava Kwon.

361
00:18:39,808 --> 00:18:41,637
Showed up
at your work yesterday?

362
00:18:41,775 --> 00:18:44,192
Got you fired for making
a huge mistake with that hurricane map?

363
00:18:44,330 --> 00:18:46,677
Right. Sorry, yeah.
They never told me her name.

364
00:18:46,815 --> 00:18:48,506
But, uh, that map
was no mistake.

365
00:18:49,162 --> 00:18:50,784
Okay.

366
00:18:50,922 --> 00:18:52,717
Next, you're gonna tell me
you weren't angry you got fired, yeah?

367
00:18:52,855 --> 00:18:54,478
- Actually, I wasn't.
- No?

368
00:18:54,616 --> 00:18:57,066
I'm sor... Is this, like,
some sort of HR thing or something?

369
00:18:57,205 --> 00:18:59,690
Does the center think
I'm gonna sue? Because I'm-I'm totally not. So...

370
00:18:59,828 --> 00:19:02,417
Cody, let's go!
Thirsty people back here.

371
00:19:02,555 --> 00:19:04,833
Look, I-I don't mind answering
any questions for you

372
00:19:04,971 --> 00:19:06,386
because I got nothing to hide.

373
00:19:06,524 --> 00:19:10,218
But would you mind helping me
carry these around back?

374
00:19:10,356 --> 00:19:12,496
- Yeah, sure.
- All right.

375
00:19:23,231 --> 00:19:25,509
Yeah,
you can just stick it right here.

376
00:19:27,200 --> 00:19:30,859
Sorry, you made a cake of
the map that got you fired?

377
00:19:30,997 --> 00:19:33,517
Yeah, no, I-I told you
the map was no mistake.

378
00:19:33,655 --> 00:19:35,174
I put it on the website
on purpose.

379
00:19:35,312 --> 00:19:37,245
Yeah. I made bank.

380
00:19:37,383 --> 00:19:39,661
Here, grab a drink.

381
00:19:40,179 --> 00:19:41,352
We're having a party!

382
00:19:47,116 --> 00:19:49,878
I can't believe that girl
is really dead.

383
00:19:50,016 --> 00:19:51,328
Yeah, she is.

384
00:19:51,845 --> 00:19:54,848
She was killed only a few hours
after she made that scene at your office.

385
00:19:55,573 --> 00:19:59,439
It's a bummer,
but, uh, I never even saw her.

386
00:19:59,577 --> 00:20:01,786
Hey, hey, hey, hey.
Someone died, okay?

387
00:20:01,924 --> 00:20:03,961
Can you make
this cake make sense?

388
00:20:04,099 --> 00:20:07,309
You said you made money
when you posted the wrong map. Explain.

389
00:20:07,999 --> 00:20:09,518
You know about
prediction markets?

390
00:20:10,692 --> 00:20:12,038
I've heard of them.

391
00:20:12,176 --> 00:20:14,765
It's just the latest way to
dress up online gambling, yeah?

392
00:20:15,559 --> 00:20:18,493
Yeah, if you're gonna dress
it up like freaking Thanos.

393
00:20:18,631 --> 00:20:22,773
Look...
...sportsbooks are limited to sports.

394
00:20:22,911 --> 00:20:25,362
Prediction markets,
you can bet on anything.

395
00:20:25,500 --> 00:20:27,536
Like, uh, is this going
to be the year

396
00:20:27,674 --> 00:20:29,711
some billionaire's gonna
be stranded in outer space?

397
00:20:29,849 --> 00:20:32,576
Or if a new drug trial's
gonna tank?

398
00:20:32,714 --> 00:20:34,854
Or if a missing hiker
gets found alive?

399
00:20:34,992 --> 00:20:39,445
So, the business model
is basically, "Monetize human misery," is that right?

400
00:20:39,583 --> 00:20:42,413
Human misery is gonna happen
anyway. You might as well cash in on it.

401
00:20:42,551 --> 00:20:44,001
And that's what you did
with the hurricane?

402
00:20:44,139 --> 00:20:48,971
Hmm. I set up a bet.
"Will Matilda hit the Abacos?"

403
00:20:49,489 --> 00:20:52,112
And since you worked for
the National Hurricane Center,

404
00:20:52,251 --> 00:20:54,183
you were able to fake
the results in your favor.

405
00:20:54,322 --> 00:20:57,428
You-You posted a map of Matilda
over the islands and...

406
00:20:57,566 --> 00:20:58,809
and you collected on your bet.

407
00:20:59,637 --> 00:21:02,433
Look, the truth is,
I hated my job.

408
00:21:02,571 --> 00:21:04,504
I was getting fired anyways.

409
00:21:04,642 --> 00:21:06,541
That part I have
no trouble believing.

410
00:21:06,679 --> 00:21:11,511
Gaming the prediction markets
was just claiming my severance package in advance.

411
00:21:12,167 --> 00:21:15,550
Yeah, here's the thing.
You still committed a crime. Fraud.

412
00:21:15,688 --> 00:21:18,311
You used your position
at the NHC to manipulate the markets.

413
00:21:18,449 --> 00:21:20,796
Ava Kwon exposed you.
You still had motive to want her dead.

414
00:21:20,934 --> 00:21:22,419
- No, I didn't.
- No?

415
00:21:22,557 --> 00:21:26,043
No. I gambled that the center
wouldn't press charges on me

416
00:21:26,181 --> 00:21:28,528
because they didn't want
that type of attention.

417
00:21:28,666 --> 00:21:30,185
And I was right.

418
00:21:30,841 --> 00:21:32,291
They just wanted me gone.

419
00:21:33,119 --> 00:21:36,812
You can set up
your own little bet if you like.

420
00:21:37,641 --> 00:21:41,230
"Will Cody Janczyk
get arrested for killing somebody?"

421
00:21:41,369 --> 00:21:43,992
And I'm gonna
tell you right now, you're gonna lose.

422
00:21:45,856 --> 00:21:47,029
Because I didn't.

423
00:21:49,446 --> 00:21:50,447
Enjoy.

424
00:21:57,454 --> 00:22:00,940
Emi. Not exactly Ballmer,
Simms and Gutiérrez, is it?

425
00:22:02,113 --> 00:22:05,013
Honestly, it's inspiring.

426
00:22:05,841 --> 00:22:07,464
I'll try to remember
that on tough days.

427
00:22:07,981 --> 00:22:09,569
Were you inspired
by what you read?

428
00:22:10,294 --> 00:22:11,778
Let's you and me talk.

429
00:22:12,434 --> 00:22:15,264
Gabriel's already
served ten years of life without parole.

430
00:22:15,403 --> 00:22:18,889
That was the deal his public
defender took to get the death penalty off the table.

431
00:22:19,027 --> 00:22:21,236
Obviously,
I wouldn't have settled.

432
00:22:21,892 --> 00:22:24,550
Kelly, this is tough for me
to get on board with.

433
00:22:25,240 --> 00:22:28,485
I respect
what you're doing, but you're talking about a client

434
00:22:28,623 --> 00:22:30,590
who confessed to killing
a police officer.

435
00:22:30,728 --> 00:22:34,422
I wouldn't have approached you
if I wasn't convinced that Gabriel didn't do it.

436
00:22:34,560 --> 00:22:37,563
And I'd ask you to imagine
the hurdles he's up against,

437
00:22:37,701 --> 00:22:40,807
because everyone reacts
the way you're reacting now.

438
00:22:40,945 --> 00:22:43,016
If he didn't do it,
why did he confess?

439
00:22:43,154 --> 00:22:44,363
He was 18.

440
00:22:44,501 --> 00:22:48,021
He was exhausted.
He was worn down for hours.

441
00:22:48,159 --> 00:22:51,404
And he was in bad withdrawal.

442
00:22:52,025 --> 00:22:54,096
Later, when he retracted
the confession,

443
00:22:54,234 --> 00:22:56,305
the judge refused to accept it.

444
00:22:56,892 --> 00:22:58,100
You believe he's innocent.

445
00:22:58,238 --> 00:22:59,723
In my bones.

446
00:23:00,379 --> 00:23:02,760
And if you knew Gabriel
the way I do...

447
00:23:02,898 --> 00:23:04,210
Then maybe that's what I need.

448
00:23:05,176 --> 00:23:06,419
To know him.

449
00:23:07,869 --> 00:23:09,318
Can you arrange a visit?

450
00:23:10,561 --> 00:23:12,598
Hey.
Eyes up when you're walking.

451
00:23:12,736 --> 00:23:14,289
Otherwise you're gonna fall
down the stairs,

452
00:23:14,427 --> 00:23:16,636
break your neck,
and turn into a crime scene.

453
00:23:16,774 --> 00:23:18,776
I mean, that would be one way
to get my attention.

454
00:23:19,846 --> 00:23:22,677
Well, thank you
for saving my life. I appreciate it.

455
00:23:22,815 --> 00:23:26,335
Don't make it weird.
I hear you're on the dead meteorologist case?

456
00:23:26,474 --> 00:23:27,854
Atmospheric scientist.
But yeah.

457
00:23:27,992 --> 00:23:30,443
Burrito, burrata.
How's it going?

458
00:23:30,581 --> 00:23:33,826
Yeah, well, I had a suspect
that didn't really pan out.

459
00:23:33,964 --> 00:23:36,656
So now I'm thinking maybe
it wasn't personal after all.

460
00:23:36,794 --> 00:23:38,451
Maybe it was just
a mugging gone wrong.

461
00:23:38,589 --> 00:23:40,971
I just got this report
on other crimes in the area the last few months.

462
00:23:41,109 --> 00:23:42,282
Yeah, and?

463
00:23:42,421 --> 00:23:44,215
And a lot of public urination.

464
00:23:44,353 --> 00:23:46,597
Like, a concerning amount.
And no muggings.

465
00:23:46,735 --> 00:23:49,911
I'm bummed I had
to bail the other night.

466
00:23:50,049 --> 00:23:51,809
I was having such a good time.

467
00:23:51,947 --> 00:23:52,983
Me too.

468
00:23:54,156 --> 00:23:55,641
Would you believe, um...

469
00:23:56,538 --> 00:23:59,368
Yeah, I was
actually a little... a little nervous, you know?

470
00:23:59,507 --> 00:24:01,094
That was my first date
in a while.

471
00:24:01,232 --> 00:24:02,820
Really? You were nervous.

472
00:24:02,958 --> 00:24:05,789
You think I just go out with
all the handsome PIs around here?

473
00:24:05,927 --> 00:24:08,861
Well, you know,
us handsome PI types, we don't really get nervous,

474
00:24:08,999 --> 00:24:10,690
so it's hard for me to relate.

475
00:24:10,828 --> 00:24:13,037
But, my friend, he has
this very interesting theory

476
00:24:13,175 --> 00:24:15,315
about how to get
over first date jitters.

477
00:24:15,454 --> 00:24:17,179
- Oh, yeah?
- Yeah, it's actually...

478
00:24:18,318 --> 00:24:19,803
It's actually very effective.

479
00:24:26,223 --> 00:24:28,328
- I'm sorry. I am sorry.
- Yeah.

480
00:24:28,467 --> 00:24:29,675
- Tell me later.
- Okay.

481
00:24:30,607 --> 00:24:32,298
- Yeah?
- <i>I'm walking in</i>

482
00:24:32,436 --> 00:24:34,818
<i>from the parking lot.</i>
<i>You in the building?</i> <i>'Cause we should talk.</i>

483
00:24:34,956 --> 00:24:36,578
Yeah.

484
00:24:38,856 --> 00:24:39,961
- Hey.
- Hey.

485
00:24:40,099 --> 00:24:42,170
ME's report on Ava Kwon.
You need to see it.

486
00:24:42,308 --> 00:24:43,309
Okay.

487
00:24:45,104 --> 00:24:48,210
"Blunt force trauma,
multiple impacts, broken bones, internal bleeding."

488
00:24:48,348 --> 00:24:49,557
So far, it's what
we expected, yeah?

489
00:24:49,695 --> 00:24:51,938
Trust me, it isn't.
Keep reading.

490
00:24:55,977 --> 00:24:57,185
She had water in her lungs?

491
00:24:57,323 --> 00:24:58,738
Cause of death was drowning.

492
00:24:58,876 --> 00:25:00,464
And that's not the half of it.

493
00:25:00,602 --> 00:25:03,916
They pulled debris
from her wounds. Vegetation, building materials.

494
00:25:04,054 --> 00:25:05,400
And those internal injuries?

495
00:25:05,538 --> 00:25:07,954
It's like they were sustained
at over 100 miles an hour.

496
00:25:08,092 --> 00:25:11,233
If the ME didn't know better,
he'd say Ava Kwon died in a hurricane.

497
00:25:11,371 --> 00:25:13,719
Yet, that doesn't make sense.
Matilda never made landfall.

498
00:25:13,857 --> 00:25:15,272
This is my point.

499
00:25:15,410 --> 00:25:18,240
How's somebody killed
by a hurricane that never came?

500
00:25:22,037 --> 00:25:24,108
<i>They're cranking it up</i>
<i>to 80 miles an hour now.</i>

501
00:25:24,246 --> 00:25:27,077
<i>I'm trying to be tough,</i>
<i>but I'm not sure</i> <i>how much more I can--</i>

502
00:25:27,215 --> 00:25:30,114
That's how you
get hurricane injuries without a hurricane.

503
00:25:30,252 --> 00:25:31,909
- A hurricane simulator.
- Yeah.

504
00:25:32,047 --> 00:25:34,394
I remember my client talking
about the research she did

505
00:25:34,533 --> 00:25:36,120
with Ava Kwon,
so I looked into it.

506
00:25:36,258 --> 00:25:38,398
Their school has
a simulator just like this.

507
00:25:38,537 --> 00:25:41,436
You load enough debris,
you blast enough water, you can demolish a house.

508
00:25:41,574 --> 00:25:43,714
You think someone used it
to demolish Ava Kwon?

509
00:25:43,852 --> 00:25:45,336
It's a pretty elaborate way
to kill someone.

510
00:25:45,474 --> 00:25:47,511
I know, but it makes sense
if you think a hurricane is coming.

511
00:25:47,649 --> 00:25:50,272
Use a simulator to kill Ava,
dump her body outside the wedding

512
00:25:50,410 --> 00:25:52,654
where you know
she's expected to be. - Matilda takes the blame.

513
00:25:52,792 --> 00:25:55,519
The simulator
at your client's school, you got an address?

514
00:25:56,693 --> 00:25:59,281
Detective, I'm sorry,
but I'm not buying it.

515
00:25:59,419 --> 00:26:01,145
This group is like a family.

516
00:26:01,283 --> 00:26:03,665
No one here would have
hurt Ava, let alone lock her in the simulator.

517
00:26:03,803 --> 00:26:05,529
Well, for their sakes,
I hope you're right.

518
00:26:05,667 --> 00:26:08,601
Meantime, I'm gonna need
a list of everyone who has access to this place.

519
00:26:08,739 --> 00:26:10,914
Can you put
that together for me? - Of course.

520
00:26:18,680 --> 00:26:21,303
I feel like I'm inside
the world's biggest dishwasher.

521
00:26:21,925 --> 00:26:23,754
Yeah, unfortunately,
that's a pretty good analogy.

522
00:26:23,892 --> 00:26:27,447
One of the staff
said these fans get up to 140 miles an hour.

523
00:26:27,586 --> 00:26:30,036
The water gets pumped in
at 1000 gallons a minute.

524
00:26:30,174 --> 00:26:31,520
The whole thing goes
from a breeze

525
00:26:31,659 --> 00:26:34,316
to a Category 4 hurricane,
push of a button.

526
00:26:34,454 --> 00:26:36,353
In other words,
if the murder did happen here,

527
00:26:36,491 --> 00:26:38,527
all the evidence probably
got washed down the drains.

528
00:26:38,666 --> 00:26:41,116
Detective,
something you should see.

529
00:26:42,946 --> 00:26:45,949
This door with the dent,
recently cleaned, both sides.

530
00:26:46,087 --> 00:26:47,433
You can still smell the bleach.

531
00:26:49,849 --> 00:26:50,988
But check out the vents.

532
00:26:51,126 --> 00:26:53,681
That's blood. Hair too.

533
00:26:53,819 --> 00:26:55,096
It's got to be Ava's, right?

534
00:26:55,234 --> 00:26:57,132
Our guy wiped it down,
but he missed some?

535
00:26:57,270 --> 00:27:00,584
Well, if you're right,
whatever happened to her started in here.

536
00:27:05,140 --> 00:27:06,763
And ended in the simulator.

537
00:27:16,358 --> 00:27:17,912
Lock this whole place down.

538
00:27:18,050 --> 00:27:19,499
We got our crime scene.

539
00:27:20,708 --> 00:27:22,330
I saw you
on the news last month.

540
00:27:23,296 --> 00:27:24,608
Everything that
happened to you.

541
00:27:25,264 --> 00:27:27,404
It's like we're in a club,
you and me.

542
00:27:28,060 --> 00:27:32,685
It must seem unfair that
my situation was resolved so quickly.

543
00:27:32,823 --> 00:27:35,308
No, ma'am,
I-I don't think that way.

544
00:27:36,033 --> 00:27:37,863
You didn't do what
they said you did.

545
00:27:38,484 --> 00:27:39,934
I was glad for you.

546
00:27:42,522 --> 00:27:44,663
Tell me about
what happened ten years ago.

547
00:27:44,801 --> 00:27:48,805
The cop who died,
Officer Werner, I knew him.

548
00:27:49,737 --> 00:27:53,050
We, like, got into it
a few times.

549
00:27:53,188 --> 00:27:54,603
I was using back then.

550
00:27:55,363 --> 00:27:56,882
Heroin.

551
00:27:57,020 --> 00:28:01,093
Pulled smash and grabs,
broke into cars, anything to get my fix.

552
00:28:01,231 --> 00:28:03,578
Him and his partner,
picked me up more than once.

553
00:28:04,544 --> 00:28:07,789
I said things I wish I didn't.

554
00:28:07,927 --> 00:28:10,896
You threatened
to kill Officer Werner.

555
00:28:11,034 --> 00:28:12,276
Couple times.

556
00:28:12,414 --> 00:28:14,071
Mostly to look tough.

557
00:28:15,348 --> 00:28:16,971
Stupid.

558
00:28:17,109 --> 00:28:20,146
When I looked at your files,
there wasn't anything about an alibi.

559
00:28:20,284 --> 00:28:21,734
'Cause I didn't have one.

560
00:28:21,872 --> 00:28:24,081
Where were you
when Officer Werner was shot?

561
00:28:24,219 --> 00:28:29,880
Had to guess, in an alley
somewhere, needle in my arm, million miles away.

562
00:28:32,745 --> 00:28:35,299
If there was one good thing
about ending up in this place, it was getting sober.

563
00:28:36,093 --> 00:28:37,198
They have programs.

564
00:28:37,336 --> 00:28:39,476
I got my ten-year chip
a couple months ago.

565
00:28:40,684 --> 00:28:42,375
Now I try to help other guys.

566
00:28:42,513 --> 00:28:46,276
Gabriel. I've told Emi,
in my words, why you confessed.

567
00:28:46,414 --> 00:28:49,037
I think it might help for her
to hear it in yours.

568
00:28:50,314 --> 00:28:54,042
A little before this all
happened, my mom got diagnosed with breast cancer.

569
00:28:54,974 --> 00:28:56,389
She beat it that time.

570
00:28:58,115 --> 00:29:00,462
The cops, they put me
in one of those little rooms,

571
00:29:00,600 --> 00:29:03,293
the kind with the window
that looks like a mirror.

572
00:29:05,019 --> 00:29:08,677
And they kept me up
for like 36 hours.

573
00:29:09,955 --> 00:29:12,026
Kept telling me I did it.

574
00:29:12,164 --> 00:29:15,029
Over and over.

575
00:29:17,065 --> 00:29:18,618
I didn't do it.

576
00:29:19,792 --> 00:29:21,311
I knew I didn't.

577
00:29:21,449 --> 00:29:22,899
I would never.

578
00:29:24,176 --> 00:29:25,280
But I was tired.

579
00:29:26,454 --> 00:29:30,078
And then,
I-I don't know, I guess someone told them about my mom,

580
00:29:30,216 --> 00:29:31,942
because they started telling me

581
00:29:32,080 --> 00:29:35,843
to think about what it
would do to her, finding out I got the death penalty.

582
00:29:36,947 --> 00:29:39,363
They said if I confessed,
I'd only get life.

583
00:29:39,501 --> 00:29:42,504
You said your mom beat
the cancer that time.

584
00:29:42,642 --> 00:29:46,681
She did. Till a few months ago,
she'd visit me every week.

585
00:29:46,819 --> 00:29:48,787
She's the one that hired
Ms. Thornton.

586
00:29:49,580 --> 00:29:51,790
She raised money
from her church group.

587
00:29:51,928 --> 00:29:54,068
But the cancer came back?

588
00:29:54,206 --> 00:29:57,243
Next to Gabriel's innocence,
it's the biggest reason

589
00:29:57,381 --> 00:29:59,004
we're fighting
for a new appeal.

590
00:29:59,142 --> 00:30:01,351
He might not have
a lot more time to see her.

591
00:30:04,837 --> 00:30:06,252
Bye-bye.

592
00:30:10,049 --> 00:30:12,914
Hey, did you get
this list of names the professor sent over to us?

593
00:30:13,052 --> 00:30:14,916
Everyone who had access
to the simulator?

594
00:30:15,054 --> 00:30:17,988
Oh, I didn't just see it.
I started calling everybody on it.

595
00:30:18,126 --> 00:30:21,233
Okay, engineers,
data crunchers, plumbers, IT guys.

596
00:30:21,371 --> 00:30:23,614
There's so many
IT guys. -

597
00:30:24,236 --> 00:30:26,272
Next time I'm checking out
the weather girl on Channel 7,

598
00:30:26,410 --> 00:30:28,930
I'm gonna have a whole
new respect for the team that put her there.

599
00:30:29,068 --> 00:30:32,382
But still no one
you-you like as a suspect?

600
00:30:32,520 --> 00:30:34,694
Now we know where Ava
was killed and how.

601
00:30:34,833 --> 00:30:37,076
I'm not feeling
any closer to who.

602
00:30:37,214 --> 00:30:39,354
Hey, uh,
don't repeat that thing about the weather girl.

603
00:30:39,492 --> 00:30:40,942
Catherine already thinks
I have a thing.

604
00:30:41,080 --> 00:30:42,737
You-You found this
on the floor of the break room?

605
00:30:42,875 --> 00:30:44,532
Yeah, why?

606
00:30:44,670 --> 00:30:47,397
Ava's ex-roommate, Heather,
she said something about missing earrings.

607
00:30:48,156 --> 00:30:49,882
I gave you a copy
of those texts Ava sent her.

608
00:30:50,020 --> 00:30:53,713
- Do you still have those?
- Um, I should have them...

609
00:30:53,852 --> 00:30:56,233
- Here.
- Let me see. Thank you.

610
00:30:56,371 --> 00:30:59,271
Yeah, Ava accused Heather
of stealing her pair of earrings.

611
00:30:59,409 --> 00:31:02,205
Yeah. "The gold
and turquoise ones."

612
00:31:02,343 --> 00:31:04,069
Okay, so Heather
didn't steal 'em.

613
00:31:04,207 --> 00:31:05,415
Ava lost them at work.

614
00:31:08,349 --> 00:31:10,385
- What?
- This T-shirt she was wearing.

615
00:31:10,523 --> 00:31:11,870
Uh...

616
00:31:14,976 --> 00:31:19,394
Yeah. "Now you took
my iguana shirt." That's two items she said were stolen,

617
00:31:19,532 --> 00:31:21,603
now both turning up
connected to her murder.

618
00:31:21,741 --> 00:31:24,089
Okay, yeah,
I'm with you on this not feeling like a coincidence,

619
00:31:24,227 --> 00:31:26,677
but what are you getting at?
What? Do you like the old roommate again?

620
00:31:26,815 --> 00:31:28,507
No, no, no, no, no,
she had an alibi for her murder.

621
00:31:28,645 --> 00:31:30,992
What I'm getting at is
I think someone stole these items,

622
00:31:31,130 --> 00:31:33,650
but it wasn't the ex-roommate,
and it wasn't a thief.

623
00:31:33,788 --> 00:31:35,445
A thief would have
pawned the earrings.

624
00:31:35,583 --> 00:31:37,447
He never would have
bothered with the T-shirt in the first place.

625
00:31:37,585 --> 00:31:39,104
Okay. But if not a thief, who?

626
00:31:39,242 --> 00:31:40,864
How about a stalker?

627
00:31:48,320 --> 00:31:50,149
That's definitely them.

628
00:31:50,287 --> 00:31:52,082
Shirt might even be
one of a kind.

629
00:31:52,220 --> 00:31:54,636
Some friend of hers
silk-screened it.

630
00:31:54,774 --> 00:31:57,018
Yeah, and these things
never turned up, right?

631
00:31:57,605 --> 00:31:59,331
I know I never saw them again.

632
00:31:59,469 --> 00:32:03,128
Did you ever notice
anyone unfamiliar hanging around the building?

633
00:32:03,266 --> 00:32:05,682
Maybe someone Ava
seemed uneasy about?

634
00:32:05,820 --> 00:32:09,824
No. Look, can I ask
how any of this is related?

635
00:32:09,962 --> 00:32:12,344
Because your questions
are starting to scare me a little.

636
00:32:12,482 --> 00:32:14,311
It's just a theory right now.

637
00:32:14,449 --> 00:32:18,384
One that was suggested by
the PI you met the other day, but the pieces fit.

638
00:32:18,522 --> 00:32:20,939
As you know, intimate items
were disappearing from Ava's room.

639
00:32:21,077 --> 00:32:23,148
She was convinced someone
was going through her things.

640
00:32:23,286 --> 00:32:25,460
And now,
two of these items have turned up,

641
00:32:25,598 --> 00:32:26,599
one on her person,

642
00:32:26,737 --> 00:32:28,567
- one at her place of work.
- What?

643
00:32:28,705 --> 00:32:31,742
We're investigating
the possibility Ava had a stalker.

644
00:32:31,880 --> 00:32:33,882
Someone who got
into your apartment somehow.

645
00:32:34,021 --> 00:32:36,023
Some stalkers,
they take items from the person

646
00:32:36,161 --> 00:32:38,370
they're obsessed with
as trophies, souvenirs.

647
00:32:38,508 --> 00:32:41,649
Gives them a sense of control,
helps them feed their fantasies.

648
00:32:41,787 --> 00:32:43,271
Oh, my God.

649
00:32:43,409 --> 00:32:47,517
When she asked
me about this stuff, I was so dismissive.

650
00:32:47,655 --> 00:32:49,381
I-I thought she made
the whole thing up.

651
00:32:49,519 --> 00:32:52,763
All that time some creep
might have been coming into our home?

652
00:32:53,454 --> 00:32:57,527
I-I'm sorry, I never saw
anyone strange around.

653
00:32:58,942 --> 00:33:00,564
I can't help you.

654
00:33:08,124 --> 00:33:10,885
- Oh. Hey.
- Hey. Thanks for meeting with me.

655
00:33:11,023 --> 00:33:12,852
I know you're busy with a case.

656
00:33:12,991 --> 00:33:15,614
No, no, no, I got a minute.
This is the case file you were telling me about?

657
00:33:15,752 --> 00:33:17,892
- Yeah.
- The guy you think didn't kill a cop?

658
00:33:18,030 --> 00:33:19,825
His name's Gabriel Romero.

659
00:33:19,963 --> 00:33:23,346
And you said his lawyers
want you to help out on the PR side of things, right?

660
00:33:23,484 --> 00:33:24,554
Okay.

661
00:33:24,692 --> 00:33:26,349
I'm guessing you want me
to poke around,

662
00:33:26,487 --> 00:33:28,696
to make sure you can feel good
about backing this cause?

663
00:33:28,834 --> 00:33:30,353
Actually, no.

664
00:33:31,043 --> 00:33:32,941
I already told them
I'm not doing the PR thing.

665
00:33:33,080 --> 00:33:35,737
I've spent too much time
in the spotlight already.

666
00:33:35,875 --> 00:33:38,706
What I want is to hire you
to find the real killer.

667
00:33:41,467 --> 00:33:42,572
Problem?

668
00:33:42,710 --> 00:33:44,884
No, no, it's no problem.
It's just, um...

669
00:33:45,713 --> 00:33:47,611
It's a big ten-year-old case,
cop killing.

670
00:33:47,749 --> 00:33:49,510
I thought you liked
a challenge.

671
00:33:49,648 --> 00:33:50,683
It's just...

672
00:33:51,374 --> 00:33:53,238
What if I find out this guy
really did it?

673
00:33:54,273 --> 00:33:58,070
Then I'll be glad
I was careful, but my gut says he's innocent.

674
00:34:00,107 --> 00:34:03,248
All right.
Let me dig into this right-- -

675
00:34:05,526 --> 00:34:08,115
Wish! Wish, uh,
whatever it is you're doing,

676
00:34:08,253 --> 00:34:09,944
do you have to do it right now?

677
00:34:10,082 --> 00:34:13,706
Well, truth be told,
I should have got it done a long time ago.

678
00:34:13,844 --> 00:34:16,951
Yeah, half these weather strips
are so old,

679
00:34:17,089 --> 00:34:19,402
first heavy rain we get,
it's just gonna laugh at 'em.

680
00:34:19,540 --> 00:34:20,713
Huh.

681
00:34:20,851 --> 00:34:23,475
All this hurricane talk
got my posterior in gear.

682
00:34:23,613 --> 00:34:24,717
Be prepared, Arj.

683
00:34:24,855 --> 00:34:26,616
Boy Scout's motto.

684
00:34:26,754 --> 00:34:30,930
Got it. Okay.
Yeah, I have to go meet Mel. Let me get back to you on this.

685
00:34:31,069 --> 00:34:32,173
- Okay.
- Good seeing you.

686
00:34:32,311 --> 00:34:33,416
Good seeing you.

687
00:34:39,767 --> 00:34:42,287
Hey. How did it go
with Ava's roommate?

688
00:34:42,425 --> 00:34:44,772
Well, no insight into who
our theoretical stalker might be,

689
00:34:44,910 --> 00:34:47,119
but talking to her did make me
think of another question.

690
00:34:47,257 --> 00:34:48,500
What?

691
00:34:48,638 --> 00:34:50,053
Someone was taking trophies
from Ava's apartment.

692
00:34:50,191 --> 00:34:52,642
Someone we think is connected
to the hurricane simulator.

693
00:34:52,780 --> 00:34:54,368
Somehow she identified
this person,

694
00:34:54,506 --> 00:34:56,370
confronted him at work,
and got herself killed.

695
00:34:56,508 --> 00:34:57,647
Okay, here's my question.

696
00:34:57,785 --> 00:34:59,890
How did she end up
in the iguana shirt?

697
00:35:00,960 --> 00:35:03,894
Say you're right.
She found our guy's secret stash that day.

698
00:35:04,032 --> 00:35:05,241
Why put this shirt on?

699
00:35:05,379 --> 00:35:07,381
It's a weird time
to change your clothes, no?

700
00:35:08,934 --> 00:35:09,969
What if he put it on her?

701
00:35:10,625 --> 00:35:11,764
Why would he do that?

702
00:35:12,420 --> 00:35:13,594
What if he had to?

703
00:35:14,974 --> 00:35:17,598
Stalker attacks Ava.
Ava fights back. Maybe even draws blood.

704
00:35:17,736 --> 00:35:20,877
- Some of it gets on her.
- Yeah, now he's got a problem.

705
00:35:21,015 --> 00:35:23,500
He's got a body
with his DNA on it.

706
00:35:23,638 --> 00:35:25,744
- He's also got a solution.
- The shirt he stole from her.

707
00:35:25,882 --> 00:35:27,711
So, he changes her into it.

708
00:35:27,849 --> 00:35:30,162
Ava didn't have any DNA or skin
under her nails.

709
00:35:30,300 --> 00:35:31,888
The simulator probably
took care of that.

710
00:35:32,026 --> 00:35:33,683
But our guy,
he would still have defensive wounds.

711
00:35:33,821 --> 00:35:36,203
I didn't see anyone
with wounds when we went to the lab. Did you?

712
00:35:36,341 --> 00:35:38,481
No, but even if Ava
scratched his arms,

713
00:35:38,619 --> 00:35:41,000
all it would take is
a long-sleeve shirt to hide 'em.

714
00:35:42,278 --> 00:35:44,970
You can get a court order.
Make 'em prove they don't have scratches.

715
00:35:45,108 --> 00:35:47,145
Are you forgetting
how many names were on the list of people

716
00:35:47,283 --> 00:35:48,698
who had access
to that simulator?

717
00:35:48,836 --> 00:35:50,665
There's no court order
that would let us

718
00:35:50,803 --> 00:35:53,220
compel that many people
to take their shirt off.

719
00:35:53,358 --> 00:35:55,222
Something like this,
it needs to be targeted.

720
00:35:57,016 --> 00:35:58,673
- What?
- No, just...

721
00:35:59,881 --> 00:36:01,400
Before I came here,

722
00:36:01,538 --> 00:36:03,195
I-I was at F.M. Station.
Wish was doing some work on the bar.

723
00:36:03,333 --> 00:36:05,439
He was making sure
everything was hurricane ready.

724
00:36:05,577 --> 00:36:07,441
I'm sorry,
this is relevant, how?

725
00:36:07,579 --> 00:36:11,652
That list of names we have,
I may know a way we can narrow it down.

726
00:36:18,417 --> 00:36:21,351
Man, do all
college kids just wander in whenever they feel these days?

727
00:36:21,489 --> 00:36:22,973
It wasn't like that
when I was in school.

728
00:36:23,111 --> 00:36:25,217
Well, I cut class a lot.
I wouldn't know.

729
00:36:25,355 --> 00:36:27,530
Most of the work that we do
is independent study.

730
00:36:27,668 --> 00:36:29,014
Did you guys find out
what happened to Ava?

731
00:36:29,152 --> 00:36:30,947
Matter of fact,
we think we did.

732
00:36:31,085 --> 00:36:34,951
Yeah, uh, someone had been
sneaking into her apartment, going through her stuff.

733
00:36:35,089 --> 00:36:37,816
- Even took a couple of things.
- You mean like a perv?

734
00:36:37,954 --> 00:36:41,233
We think Ava discovered
the stolen things here, along with the person who took them.

735
00:36:41,371 --> 00:36:42,683
So, he killed her.

736
00:36:43,235 --> 00:36:44,926
You two, scram.

737
00:36:48,516 --> 00:36:50,346
Mind rolling up
your sleeves, Patrick?

738
00:36:50,484 --> 00:36:51,519
Why? Why me?

739
00:36:52,106 --> 00:36:53,935
It's a fair question.
You wanna take it?

740
00:36:54,073 --> 00:36:56,800
Something occurred to me about the day Ava was killed.

741
00:36:56,938 --> 00:36:59,596
Almost everybody here knew
the hurricane wasn't coming.

742
00:36:59,734 --> 00:37:01,736
But the killer
didn't know that, obviously.

743
00:37:01,874 --> 00:37:03,842
He was counting
on the hurricane to cover up his crime.

744
00:37:03,980 --> 00:37:06,638
Someone who thinks
a big storm's about to hit might try and do some prep,

745
00:37:06,776 --> 00:37:08,433
make sure they have
the things they need.

746
00:37:08,571 --> 00:37:10,987
That's why I had officers
canvass the hardware stores around here.

747
00:37:11,125 --> 00:37:14,887
One of them had surveillance
footage of you buying batteries, plywood, propane.

748
00:37:15,025 --> 00:37:17,096
No one else who had
access to this place.

749
00:37:17,235 --> 00:37:19,961
No one, Patrick. Just you.

750
00:37:20,099 --> 00:37:22,999
And that was
enough to convince a judge to issue a court order

751
00:37:23,137 --> 00:37:25,967
compelling you to let us
look for defensive wounds.

752
00:37:26,105 --> 00:37:28,763
Roll up your sleeves, please.

753
00:37:40,050 --> 00:37:41,535
I never meant to hurt her.

754
00:37:44,192 --> 00:37:45,470
I was in love with her.

755
00:37:46,781 --> 00:37:50,198
<i>I... I didn't think</i>
<i>anyone was gonna be here</i> <i>on account of the storm.</i>

756
00:37:50,337 --> 00:37:52,062
<i>I came in to get</i>
<i>some rain gear.</i>

757
00:37:56,204 --> 00:37:58,172
<i>I tried to explain it to her,</i>
<i>but she wasn't listening.</i>

758
00:37:58,310 --> 00:38:00,105
- Let me go, please. Please. No.
- Ava, listen!

759
00:38:06,456 --> 00:38:08,182
<i>You knew</i>
<i>you couldn't let her go,</i>

760
00:38:08,320 --> 00:38:11,427
<i>not after you hurt her,</i>
<i>not after everything</i> <i>you'd done.</i>

761
00:38:11,565 --> 00:38:13,118
<i>So, you put her</i>
<i>in the simulator.</i>

762
00:38:20,470 --> 00:38:23,093
<i>And then you stood there,</i>
<i>while it finished the job.</i>

763
00:38:23,231 --> 00:38:24,681
No, please! Patrick!

764
00:38:40,179 --> 00:38:44,494
You have the right
to remain silent. Turn around. Turn around.

765
00:38:53,158 --> 00:38:56,920
I'm surprised that you would
pick anywhere near water after our first date.

766
00:38:57,058 --> 00:39:00,683
I mean, I'll admit
the mermaids were a little unnerving at first.

767
00:39:00,821 --> 00:39:02,581
But get this,
I asked around after you left.

768
00:39:02,719 --> 00:39:04,687
Turns out they're just
women in mermaid costumes.

769
00:39:04,825 --> 00:39:06,930
- Get out.
- I know.

770
00:39:07,068 --> 00:39:09,554
Anyway, there's a bunch of
really nice restaurants that way,

771
00:39:09,692 --> 00:39:11,694
and no sea creatures,
but you can take your pick.

772
00:39:11,832 --> 00:39:13,385
Okay, I accept your terms.

773
00:39:13,523 --> 00:39:15,525
- Lead the way.
- Uh, actually, um...

774
00:39:15,663 --> 00:39:17,009
What?

775
00:39:18,494 --> 00:39:19,840
Can I kiss you first?

776
00:39:20,668 --> 00:39:24,223
Uh, just to get it
out of the way, before anything else interrupts us.

777
00:39:24,362 --> 00:39:26,536
Get it out of the way,
because that's so romantic.

778
00:39:36,788 --> 00:39:39,722
Okay. Uh, I see the wisdom
in this. Mm-hmm.

779
00:39:39,860 --> 00:39:41,413
- Yeah?
- Yes.

780
00:39:43,795 --> 00:39:46,694
All right. Well, now
we can eat our dinner in peace.

781
00:39:48,455 --> 00:39:51,975
But does that mean, like,
we're not gonna kiss at the end of this date?

782
00:39:52,113 --> 00:39:54,357
Oh, no, no, no, no,
we can pull one up from date three.

783
00:39:54,495 --> 00:39:56,704
- Okay. Okay, thanks.
- Thank you.

784
00:40:00,225 --> 00:40:01,260
Here you go.

785
00:40:02,469 --> 00:40:03,539
Thanks.

786
00:40:04,367 --> 00:40:05,403
Thank you.

787
00:40:08,751 --> 00:40:12,410
It's crazy. Your friend
has her own law firm but she doesn't validate parking?

788
00:40:12,927 --> 00:40:17,415
Mel. Hey. You scared me.
What are you doing here?

789
00:40:18,554 --> 00:40:21,419
I heard you were looking
to give a little help to Gabriel Romero.

790
00:40:24,111 --> 00:40:26,700
- Did R.J. tell you?
- No.

791
00:40:32,291 --> 00:40:34,984
Mel, why are you here?

792
00:40:35,122 --> 00:40:41,680
Helping your friend,
helping Gabriel Romero, would be a mistake.

793
00:40:42,336 --> 00:40:44,925
I'm here to make sure
you understand why.
