Inspector Truong!

Hi!

I'm Constable Taylor O'Neill!

I believe Chief Sullivan expressed my desire

to shadow a detective today.

Chief Sullivan, yes.

As in your mother.

Technically.

But also my chief.

I can separate the two.

She did mention it.

I had said that I would arrange it for next week.

Oh, I thought it was today.

Let me see what I can do.

Give me a minute.

Are you busy this morning?

It's a quiet morning, why?

Good.

The chief wants her daughter to shadow a detective.

Um-

you mean spend the morning with Taylor?

To clarify, when I said it was a quiet morning-

it's quiet work.

Computer work.

I have so much defragging to do.

I have to get rid of so much bloatware.

Check for malware.

Backup and erasures.

It's fine, it's fine.

You're off the hook.

One more minute.

Of course.

-Charlie. -Hey.

Want a rookie shadow?

Constable O'Neill?

Um-

Yeah, sure.

We could do a ride along maybe?

Yeah, no, I understand.

Okay.

Message received, partner.

Constable O'Neill hasn't exactly warmed to Rex.

And the feeling is very mutual.

Right.

Okay, we've got to work on that.

You know where Joe is?

Just another minute.

Sure.

Uh-excuse me.

Hey.

Joe, you interested in a second set of eyes?

Okay, just lay it on me.

Come out with it.

The chief wants her daughter

to shadow a detective.

But who better to show an eager rookie

the investigative ropes, than you?

Right-no one else wants to do it.

You'd be saving me here.

Is she going to go full nepo baby on me?

I can't guarantee she won't.

You owe me one.

Thank you.

Yeah.

Thank you thank you thank you.

Constable.

We are going to head upstairs-

grab a few files-

and solve an old missing-persons case.

Copy that!

Sir!

Yeah, I'm going to need you to step it up partner.

You need to focus.

You messed up that pike yesterday.

You've got to nail that.

I'm trying!

It's one thing to mess it up in the back yard-

but when everyone's watching-

Who cares what they think?

You'll care what the judges think won't you?

You've got to keep your eye on the prize.

The window

is filthy!

What is that smell?

Mom?

Get out of the car.

Go, go!

Thanks.

Let's go pal.

Hey Jesse.

Hey.

What've we got going on here?

So-

Nora Manning.

She was about to drive her daughter

to gymnastics practice-

and her car exploded.

Do we know what caused it?

The fire inspector told me

that an accelerant was poured

into the windshield wash reservoir.

Nora started the ignition.

Car filled up with smoke and boom.

Anyway-

they sent over a sample.

So, are we dealing with arson or attempted murder here?

Well, the fire inspector also reminded me that that fire bug

that lit up seven vehicles in one month

was arrested but let out on bail.

His name is Kyle Kennedy.

I'm going to chase him down.

Okay, great.

Can you remind the inspector to send that report

as soon as it's ready?

Yeah.

Where's the mom and daughter right now?

They've been taken to the hospital

to get checked out.

Rex.

Let's go.

Thanks.

See you later.

Doctor Stevenson, 401.

Doctor Stevenson, 401.

Nora Manning?

Yeah?

Hi-Detective Charlie Hudson with Major Crimes.

Could I have a word?

Yes, of course.

This is my daughter Ailish.

Hi.

This is my partner, Rex.

Hi buddy.

I'm really sorry this happened.

You okay?

Yes.

Shocked but okay.

I didn't notice

a doorbell camera

or security system at your house.

No.

Okay, can you think of anyone

who might have wanted to do this to you?

No.

Sorry.

Oh, it's okay.

I'll let you know what we find out.

Glad you're all right.

We'll keep in touch.

Detective?

Yeah?

Ailish honey, the nurse is waiting for us.

The police have work to do.

They don't have the answers yet.

If you have more questions

we can talk later.

Of course.

I looked into the arsonist-

Kyle Kennedy.

And-?

Broke his conditions and was detained two days ago.

He's been inside ever since.

Okay, so he's not our guy.

Nope, he's not.

And I've reached out to Nora's neighbors

for doorbell-cam footage

to see if we can see someone sabotage the car.

But so far, nothing.

Hmm.

What did you pull on the family?

Nora Manning.

Single mother.

Works at a bank.

Her daughter Ailish has been in the press a few times

for these gymnastics competitions.

But that's about it, Charlie.

Nothing on the dad?

He lives out west.

Okay, well-

Ailish seemed like she wanted to tell me something.

Maybe Rex and I

will go by the house.

See if we can get her to talk.

-You got it. -All right pal.

Let's go.

Okay.

What've we got?

We've got-

Thanks.

Alec Daniels.

Born 1983.

Last known address

was on Long Run Road in Petty Harbour

with his girlfriend, Rosie Malone.

He worked at the shipyard in town.

What happened?

Well-

he left home and went to work.

After his shift-

he clocked out and was never seen again.

When?

September 4th, 2011.

Fifteen years ago.

Did anything unique happen with the weather?

Anything notable?

Foggy day.

Temperatures were fifteen degrees.

Dropped to about seven that night.

Okay.

So, we have the who.

We have the what.

And we have the when.

Now we just need the why.

Nobody knows.

What's your theory?

He bailed on his life.

He reinvented himself somewhere.

You quoted that from a theory you read in the file.

Yes.

But I agree.

Based on-?

You see, good investigating

isn't just about securing your confirmation bias.

It's about finding little inconsistencies.

Fresh eyes.

Beginner's mind.

He takes out his whole savings

and just drops off the planet?

Three-thousand dollars

is not going to get you very far.

Especially if you want to start over again.

Even back then.

Maybe he was resourceful.

Okay.

Some people just want to disappear.

Okay, so he disappeared.

But so did his car.

And it wasn't registered on any ferry that left the island.

Nor did it turn up in any scrap yard.

So where is it?

That's a new, random theory.

But that's what we're looking for.

New-

random theories.

That's what makes this a cold case.

Because all of the other theories-

led to nothing.

You know, maybe we should walk through Alec's last day.

I'm going to see if Rex is available.

-The dog? -Yeah.

Why?

Because Rex can do things that we can't.

The thing is though-

if he's here-

I can't do the things I normally can.

At least not well.

I find him distracting.

I think you're going to

need to get over that.

But, we'll try it without Rex.

Come on.

That's her boyfriend.

Sawyer Glynn.

How long have the two of them been dating?

Too long.

Couple of months.

You don't like him?

Ah, he's fine enough, I suppose, but-

Ailish is on track

to be an Olympic gymnast.

Ever since he started coming around

she's-

she's been distracted.

Oh, who wants some pats?

Mom's going to make me practice soon.

You almost died this morning.

You'd think she'd give you a break.

The Nationals.

Tryouts are in a couple of days.

There's more to life than tryouts, Ailish.

Of course you'd say that.

You don't want me to make the team.

I don't care if you make the team.

I don't want you to leave town!

How are you doing Ailish?

I'm fine.

She's not.

She's traumatized.

I'm fine.

Ailish, when we met earlier

you wanted to tell me something.

Tell him.

Tell him.

You can talk to me.

Well, something weird is going on.

I've been getting

strange text messages.

Threats, I guess.

What kind of threats?

Telling me

to drop out of the national tryouts.

Could I see them?

They're from an unknown sender.

You won't think you're so great

when your legs are crushed.

You're trash.

I dream about throwing you into a landfill.

Quit the tryouts

if you know what's good for you.

Kids can be so hateful.

I tell Ailish to just-

tune that stuff out.

Do you know who sent these?

It's kids.

They're just jealous.

Bunch of bullies.

Exactly.

She's being bullied.

This is serious.

Yeah.

A week of anonymous threats

followed by the dangerous sabotage of your car.

I agree with Sawyer.

This is very serious.

I'm going to need to keep Ailish's phone.

Wait-

Oh my God.

You don't think these things are connected.

It is, Mom.

Someone wants me dead!

So.

The messages.

They come from a German phone number.

But they were sent to Ailish using a VPN.

So it could be anybody.

I'm trying to put a production order

to see if we can get a username at least.

But in the meantime-

I have been looking at her social media feed

for any weird activity.

Look at these comments.

What a stupid sport.

Only a moron would think it's worth their time.

Who wrote that?

It was someone with the handle @flipofflosers.

Oh.

I've been trying to trace it back to an email.

Whoever they are, maybe they-

Uh-uh!

Excuse me!

Solved.

Anyway, maybe they decided to crank it up a notch

and send those text messages.

And they decided

to crank it up a whole bunch of notches

and blow up the car.

Yeah, maybe.

Well, I'm cross referencing the username.

Okay, here we go.

It's registered to an email belonging to

Sawyer Glynn.

That's Ailish's boyfriend.

I didn't post this stuff.

She's my girlfriend.

Why would I do that?

Maybe you resent how much time

she spends training for gymnastics.

I do, but I still let her do it.

You let her?

That's not what I meant.

Ailish trains all the time.

I don't pressure her either way.

Ailish know that you were posting

under this flip off losers account?

We have the IP address.

Okay, fine.

I posted it.

Because I was angry!

But not at Ailish!

It's everything.

The kids.

Coaches.

The parents.

The whole gymnastics scene.

It's high stress all the time.

She doesn't know how to have a laugh or just chill!

You have

a VPN app on your phone?

Yeah, why?

Because in all these threatening texts

the most violent messages were sent using

a VPN app.

I use a VPN to watch animé!

It's the only way

to get around the geo-blocks to see the best shows.

Those messages aren't from me.

We'll talk again-

I'm sure.

You're re-opening the case?

After all this time?

It was never closed.

The investigation went cold.

We believe that you might be able to tell us

something new that will help us solve it-

Ms. Malone.

What um-

Constable Taylor is trying say

is that we are new to the file.

And it's procedure

for us to speak to the people who knew Alec best.

Um, what did you want to know?

Whatever you can tell us.

Look, why don't we start with when you saw him last, hmm?

Everything seemed good.

He had a great job.

I'd just gotten into nursing school.

I thought we were happy.

Mm-hmm?

I mean-

this guy was saving money.

He was mowing lawns on the weekend.

He was picking blueberries in the barrens up there.

Selling buckets by the side of the road.

Bring a little jar home for me when it was a special day.

I was so young.

But I should have known better.

How so?

You just never know people.

My father left my mom out of the blue.

No explanation.

It's just-

Before he disappeared, did-

did he seem different?

Like he had something on his mind perhaps?

Uh-

He wasn't himself that day.

He was keeping something from me.

He was trying extra hard to seem normal.

I thought-

maybe he was working up a surprise.

Surprise was he left for work-

and never came back.

Well, thank you for your time.

We're sorry to have brought all this back up.

We're going to get answers for you.

I promise.

Hey.

Hey.

I'm going to grab a coffee.

Want to walk?

Yeah!

The fire inspector

sent over the chemical analysis from the fire.

It's paraffin lamp oil.

Purified kerosene derivative.

Mm-hmm.

Used anywhere from tiki torches

to hurricane lamps and camping stoves.

And found in sheds and garages everywhere, I'd say.

Yeah.

How's um-

how's Ailish doing?

Mmm-she's shaken.

But I think she's doing all right.

Oh, hey.

You were a competitive figure skater

when you were a kid, right?

Yeah.

So how competitive is it really?

I mean, are car bombs and death threats the norm?

Well, it's intense.

But no, not that intense.

It doesn't compare to football at Mount Allison either.

The stakes of everything are so high when you're young.

Yeah.

You're already dealing with

puberty and hormone changes.

Throw in the heightened dopamine from physical activity-

and you know, you've got a brew

of elevated chemicals and confusion.

Yeah, but do you really think

that a kid would kill another kid

over a gymnastics competition?

Thanks.

Charlie, we've been doing this long enough to know

that anything is possible.

Yeah, I guess.

A lot of money at stake, too.

The prestige of winning these high-level events.

Ailish has been a star since she was six.

She has multiple titles under her belt.

Headhunted from schools on the mainland.

Scholarships.

Sounds like she's being fast- tracked to Olympic stardom.

Now, I will say-

those posts from her boyfriend said that

he resented the sport, right?

Mm-hmm.

But the text messages are telling her

to quit the national tryouts.

It's much more specific.

Right.

So, we could be dealing with a jealous competitor at the club.

Coach Halliday: Okay, everyone listen up!

You know what, guys?

This province has produced NHL superstars and Olympic athletes.

There is so much talent here.

You guys included.

Let me tell you something.

There's no reason

why it couldn't be any one of you

up on that podium getting the glory.

Those national judges-

They don't know what they're in for.

Keep it up!

Yes!

Okay, guys, take ten, and we'll try it all

from the top again, okay?

Excuse me.

Detective Charlie Hudson.

I want to talk to you about a threat campaign being waged

against Ailish Manning.

I'm her coach, Henry Halliday.

Um, what are you talking about?

What threats?

Telling her to drop out of the national tryouts

or else she's going to face

some kind of a consequence.

Are you kidding?

Where is she now?

Tryouts are Friday.

This is Pamela O'Rourke.

She's the president of the club.

Hi, nice to meet you.

Pleasure.

So, does Ailish get along with the other kids?

The kids all get along great.

Yeah?

What about the coaches and the parents?

Yeah.

We're all a big happy family really.

No rivalries?

Who's her biggest competition?

That would be my little sister.

Catherine.

For a long time, Ailish was

heads above everyone else.

But lately Catherine's been making huge strides.

They're really neck and neck.

I mean, honestly, I'm surprised it hasn't hurt their bond.

But they're the best of friends.

That's good to hear.

Poor Ailish!

I mean, I hope these threats aren't getting in her head.

Catherine!

Hey!

As you can see-

everybody's getting along great.

Me too.

My hamstrings are on fire.

Uh-I'm going to go do some paperwork in my office.

Excuse me.

See you soon.

You broke-

the number one rule.

Do not-

make promises.

We've got to be careful not to give people false hope.

Sorry, sir.

Okay.

So, what's your takeaway after the conversation we just had?

She loved him.

And she doesn't think it was really reciprocated.

But according to interviews

that we had with his family and friends

he did love her.

Except for what she just said.

Everyone has a personal bias.

Rosie talked about the fact

that her father left without explanation.

That primed her to not trust.

It's her personal bias.

Come on, try again.

She said she felt like he was hiding something.

What if he was hiding something good?

Okay!

I like that.

Like what?

Like, maybe he was saving for a nicer house.

A new car.

Or a ring!

Okay.

Now that's a working theory we can pursue.

He only had about three thousand bucks though.

It's a little on the cheap side.

Uh-

that's your personal bias.

That's a lot of money to some people.

I'll leave my opinions out of it.

Right.

But what if you're right?

Hmm?

What if he was

saving to buy her a ring?

So he'd leave from home

and head to work down at the St. John's Shipyard here.

And then he'd try to buy a ring somewhere downtown.

He'd buy it at the mall.

Okay.

So, he's buying a ring

at the Avalon Mall.

Which means that he'd head home via the Goulds highway.

If he was proposing-

that would be a special day.

So maybe he picked blueberries.

Okay, okay.

So where would he do that?

Uhh-

I'd say this marshy area-

up here.

It's covered in blueberry bushes.

There's a road

right through all those ponds.

Hmm.

Constable, do you have a pair of hip waders?

Hey, Pamela.

Do you have a moment?

Yep, sure.

Come on in.

So your gym is hosting

the national team tryouts this Friday?

High stress around here.

Being chosen will be a game changer.

How so?

Well, it sets you up

for the Olympics.

And then after that, the sky's the limit.

Hmm.

Your sister Catherine and Ailish

they're the two frontrunners?

Both are incredible gymnasts.

Either can make the team.

But only one of them will.

Hmm.

Well, Catherine's lucky to have you here.

You're a very supportive sister.

I've been her legal guardian for the past three years-

since our parents died.

Sorry.

Big responsibility.

Big shoes to fill.

Our mother was incredible.

She pushed me to be the best gymnast I could be.

Till I got injured.

But honestly, Catherine's way better

than I ever was at her age.

Wait.

Is that-

CCTV footage?

Yeah.

It's just two cameras.

But we can see everything with them.

Is there any way we could access that?

Why?

I have a feeling that whoever is doing this

may be connected with the gym.

Okay.

Yeah, I'll send you a link.

Okay, great.

Thanks.

Oh.

What-

is your dog doing?

What've you got, pal?

What've you got, Rex?

Excellent job, partner.

This oil.

This is the same accelerant

that was used

to blow up Nora Manning's car.

Why would you have it?

What-no!

We use paraffin mineral oil-

to treat the leather on the equipment.

But it's not lamp oil.

This is the wrong stuff.

Someone was supposed to return it.

There's a bottle missing.

Why?

Good question.

Who would be responsible for purchasing this?

An employee or a volunteer?

Yeah.

Nora!

Can you explain

the paraffin oil?

What do you mean?

That police dog

found oil in my office!

I bought the wrong stuff.

I told you I'd replace it.

Not before you used it-

to blow up your own car?

Excuse me?

Pam!

You're being ridiculous!

Ailish, what's wrong?

Does she have any allergies?

She's got a shellfish allergy!

She needs her epi-pen!

It could kill her!

Coach!

Epi-pen!

Got it!

Hang on.

Hey Sarah.

You get the test results back on the vegetable juice?

We did.

Bit of a surprise here.

We found traces of clam juice.

Oh, that would kick off a near fatal reaction to shellfish.

That doesn't seem like a mistake someone would make.

Does it?

Not if you have that type of allergy.

If she's being targeted-

I think we need to consider

that somebody contaminated it deliberately.

Poor kid.

Must be terrifying.

Yeah, Rex and I are going

-to talk to them now. -Okay.

I'll keep you posted.

Let's go, Rex.

Oh, this thing is ridiculous!

Has she ever mistakenly ingested shellfish before?

No.

Never.

She's diligent.

I'd even say paranoid.

She double-checks every ingredient.

That juice was poured from a container

in our fridge this morning.

It was vegetable juice.

Does she ever get a break?

National tryouts are in two days.

Once she makes that team-

she'll have a week off

before we head to Quebec for summer training.

So you train elsewhere?

We have to find ways to make up

for what the gym isn't providing.

What do you mean?

Pamela is a youngster herself.

She makes promises she can't keep.

She and Coach Halliday both.

About what exactly?

They told the team

to expect all-new high-end equipment

which is already weeks delayed.

Meanwhile, Ailish has to practice

on a balance beam held together

by duct tape.

Looks like she's doing okay.

Okay isn't perfect, Detective.

Gymnastics is about perfection.

Hey!

Get back here!

Sorry, buddy.

The gym is largely run

by government grants

and wealthy donors.

Now, a few times a year-

they'll host a fundraiser to raise money so that athletes

could travel to competitions.

That sounds pretty normal.

Well, it was running smoothly up until a couple of months ago.

The club missed two mortgage payments

back-to-back.

Why?

What happened?

I can't confirm anything.

But I did some digging.

It turns out Coach Halliday has a bit of a gambling problem.

He's part of this

online betting forum.

I mean, this guy bets on everything.

From baseball games-

to football games-

to marble races.

Even the conclave to elect a new pope.

I mean this guy is broke.

You know, that's interesting.

Nora mentioned something about gym equipment

that had been ordered that never showed up.

Maybe Coach has been skimming.

Would explain the two missed mortgage payments.

I don't think Coach Halliday is telling us everything he knows.

So, Alec is driving.

It's foggy.

It's dusk.

He's tired, distracted.

Whatever.

But it's easy to see how his car ends up in this pond.

Are you going to help me?

And rob you of this teachable moment?

Oh, hell no.

Just wind up.

Throw it as far as you can.

And drag it back in.

Don't think this is going to work.

Trust the process.

People find lots of stuff this way.

I think I hit something!

Okay, well drag it back in!

Whatever it is-

it's big.

Come on, come on, come on!

Yeah, I lost my shirt on some bad bets-

a while back.

So, you stole from the club

to cover them.

I always intended on paying it back.

I just needed a little more time.

Meanwhile-

you're placing false equipment orders

and keeping the money.

I was going to place

a couple more bets to earn that money back

and then replace it

before anyone found out.

But then, Pamela caught me.

And she didn't expose you?

No.

She leveraged it-

to get me to give Catherine extra training.

And it worked!

I mean, Catherine and Ailish are like neck and neck.

One of them is going to make nationals.

I just-I needed to push Catherine a little harder.

I'm guessing you placed a bet on her?

The odds were too good to pass up.

Even Pam put some big money on Catherine to beat Ailish.

You knew

that the coach was using phony equipment purchases

to embezzle money.

But you didn't report him.

You decided to blackmail him instead.

I don't know what you're saying.

We got a hold of your phone records.

You can delete the texts.

But the internet is forever.

Hold on.

I can explain.

No, I think

it's pretty self-explanatory.

You told the coach you'd keep his secret

as long as he agreed to more training for your sister.

So what?

Catherine's had a tough few years.

She lost her focus for a bit, but-

she has all the same talent Ailish has.

Halliday was always putting her second.

I found a way

to even the score.

Hmm.

And then you decided to place bets on the outcome

of the national tryouts.

Is it a crime to believe in your family?

Catherine's technique has improved dramatically

in the last few months.

She could easily win.

Yeah, but it's still a toss-up

between the two of them.

And you wanted more of a sure thing.

What are you talking about?

I'm talking about the messages that Ailish is receiving.

The threats-

telling her to quit.

They came from a VPN on your phone.

What's a VPN?

Anyone else have access to your phone?

No.

No one.

Does Catherine?

Nobody uses my phone but me.

I want my lawyer.

It'll take a bit to get the car out.

So, in the meantime, I took this off.

So it is Alec's car.

Any sign of him?

Not yet.

So where is his body?

We need Rex.

I don't-Just

get over it, Constable.

Charlie thinks Pamela is covering for Catherine.

Well, she could have easily downloaded the VPN app

to Pamela's phone.

She knows where Ailish lives.

I'm sure she knows about the shellfish allergy.

How do we prove that?

Exactly.

Charlie's holding on to Pamela for as long as he can.

Maybe after some time in a cell, she'll start talking.

Where's Catherine?

Downstairs.

Waiting at the Mugshot.

I don't understand.

Pam didn't have anything to do with what happened with Ailish.

Do you know that for a fact?

Look.

I know she can be intense.

She's overly protective of me since our parents died.

But she's genuinely

a wonderful person.

And I know she loves Ailish.

Competition messes with your head, doesn't it.

I remember-

in figure skating-

my best friend

sometimes felt like my enemy.

Ailish has always been better than me.

But that doesn't make me angry.

It makes me try harder.

That's Nora and Ailish.

I need to know what happened.

Did Pamela do this?

She's being held.

That doesn't mean she's guilty.

Because I found out she's been extorting the coach

to get you extra training.

And she was placing bets on you to win.

I mean-

I never thought she would go that far.

So now I don't know what to believe.

Is that true?

I think we need

a bit of patience

to let the investigation unfold.

Tryouts are tomorrow!

And someone's been threatening my daughter!

So, there's no time for patience!

Ailish.

I had no idea Pam was doing any of that.

I swear.

Catherine, why don't you come with us.

You can't stay here all night.

I have to go.

Pam's friend is coming to pick me up.

Oh.

I'll see you tomorrow, all right?

There's no way the dog will be able to track

his body after fifteen years.

Give him time.

Let's see what you've got.

That's Alec's shirt.

How did he end up over here?

He survived the crash, and-

he was probably just trying to make his way home.

What's this?

Taylor.

You were right.

That happened fifteen years ago.

How can a dog still smell it?

Well, when a body decomps in the ground, near-

a tree, for example-

the organic matter is absorbed

by the roots-

the wood layers-

the leaves-

the needles.

So Rex-

wasn't just smelling the body.

The tree smelled of it.

What?

That's incredible.

Yeah.

Rex will teach you things

you never thought were possible.

Oh!

Why'd you do that?!

That's okay, O'Neill.

You'll get used to it.

Huh?

Is that how you celebrate

success in the field?

Get him off me.

Yeah, right on!

Hey!

I heard Rex

made a hell of a find on your call.

He managed to impress the rookie?

Impressed might a bit of strong word.

But we're getting there.

I'm on my way to find her right now

so that we can inform the family.

Good luck.

Thanks.

It's been a strange case.

You know, spending all this time trying to find someone to blame-

and meanwhile, it was just a family tragedy.

Mmm.

You know, sometimes there's no bad guy in the story.

See ya.

Yeah, see ya.

Come on, pal.

Hey.

Got your message.

What's up?

There was a break-in at the gym last night.

Searching the cameras-

but there was nothing until last night.

Can you get a better look?

I'm trying

to clean it up.

Is that Catherine?

It's Ailish!

Why would Ailish want to sabotage the equipment?

I know she felt betrayed

by Catherine.

Maybe she's trying to even the score?

Jesse, when do the tryouts start?

Uh-

Five minutes ago.

Let's go.

Catherine.

What's wrong?

The balance beam

has been tampered with.

You can't do your routine today.

I'm not doing the balance beam today.

It's not my event.

I thought you do all the events.

Today we're just showcasing our specialty skills.

I'm on vault.

Ailish is on balance beam.

Sometimes there's no bad guy in the story.

Where's Ailish now?

Rex go!

Rex, no!

Not now!

Why is the dog

trying to sabotage her?

Rex isn't the one trying to do that.

Is he, Ailish?

I used to like it-

when it was fun.

And I was good at it.

But-

like I never-

I didn't want it to be my whole life.

It just became so important.

To who?

My mom, mostly, I guess.

I didn't want to look like a quitter, but-

I was so stressed all the time!

So the car-

the clam juice

the threatening messages-?

Pamela used to let us use her phone to order food and stuff.

So, I downloaded the app

and sent the messages that way.

I figured nobody would ever know.

I know my mom loves me.

I figured if-

if she was worried for me

she'd make me stop but-

Oh, God.

She pushed you to keep going.

She wanted me to overcome my fears.

I mean, she wants what's best for me.

You had the best intentions, Nora.

Trying to be a supportive mother-

It's a good thing.

Except that at some point it became about me.

My dreams.

Not hers.

I'm sorry.

I didn't know what else to do.

Nobody was listening to me!

I don't know if I can do this.

It's part of the job.

If you want to be a detective, that is.

Okay.

So you think a diversion program is an option for Ailish?

Maybe.

With some family therapy.

In situations like this-

pressing charges won't help.

This is something she can overcome.

I think so too.

You know, for a minute-

it kind of felt like old times.

For a minute, yeah.

Good night, Charlie.

Night, Rex.
