I'll be at the motel for two days.
Let me know.

Just listen, OK? Actually
listen to me for once.

"For once"?

It's Taylor. She's borrowing
the car to go to Millwood.

Mind if I join you actually?
I wanna go visit my mom.

Yeah, sure.

- You're staying at Wendy's?
- No. I'll stay at the motel.

I'm talking to you

and I decide when I go, Dad.

- Let go of me!
- It's your dad.

They found him in his room.

Come in.

Coffee's hot.

Take as much time as you need.

They're expecting me.

All right.

That's him. That's my father.

The last time we spoke was so awful.

I know I shouldn't fixate
on it, but I can't...

...I can't stop thinking about it.

- I know.
- I just wish I could go back

and do things differently.

Joanna, don't be so hard on yourself.

You can't be nice to me right now.

I'm sorry.

I don't know how else to be.

I'm sorry.

I'm just, uh...

I, uh, have to get to
the police station.

They want me to make a statement.

- I'll go with you.
- I said I'm fine...

- It's no bother.
- I'll walk.

Thank you.

Joanna...

anything you need,

I'm here.

Good job, boys.

So, someone got the jump on him

and smacked him with a bottle of booze.

Unopened bottle of booze.
The cap and seal were found

still intact in the broken bottle neck.

He didn't even get to
enjoy a last drink.

Doesn't look that way unless
this was bottle number 2.

- They think he was inebriated?
- Tough to say.

We'll know more when the
tox screen comes back.

You'd have to get that angle just right.

I mean, people don't normally
die from a knock on the head.

Meaning the killing was unintentional.

Or a crime of passion.

Which would suggest

that Hanley knew his attacker.

You got the toast; I'll do the coffee.

- Yeah.
- Sorry.

It's been a while since I
had someone in the kitchen.

Hey, Mom, why don't you sit down.

Let me make you breakfast for once.

- All right.
- OK.

So, um... how's Molly been feeling?

Aaah, the same.

She's liking Winnipeg?

Yeah. A bit too much.

She's got a whole new
circle of friends, but...

I mean, it's good to
see her happy again.

Hey, uh... Hey, Mom...

- There's something I gotta talk...
- There's something I gotta

talk to you about.

You go first.

I saw him last night, my father.

I'll get rid of whoever that is.

Gerrilynn Spence?

You know it's me, Jason.

I'm gonna need you to come
down to the station with us,

- answer a few questions.
- What's this about?

They can tell you more
back at the station, Ma'am,

but I am gonna need you
to come with me now.

Sure, just give me a minute.
I need to grab my purse.

Mom, what do they want?

Stay here, OK? I'll
call you if I need you.

There's only been three
suspicious deaths in Millwood,

and the RCMP was brought
in on all of them.

They're not better than us.
We don't know what happened

here, alright? When we get
the coroner's report back,

we'll have a clearer picture
what we're dealing with,

we'll be able to make a decision then.

Alright, they found the wallet
in his room. Any money in it?

Cash and cards were still there.

That rules out a smash and grab.

Maybe it was a "time's up" type of deal,

- Millwood style.
- One of his women did this?

If not a woman, could be her husband.

Good point.

You turn over every stone,
a crab is bound to crawl out.

We got this.

Teddie, hey. I was
just about to call you.

Great job on the Lovand case, Joanna.

You really turned it around.

They've reached out for a sit-down,

and I think that they are
scared to go to trial now

- because of you.
- My father died.

Oh, my God!

- Joanna, I'm so sorry.
- Thank you.

I, uh...

I have a couple of things I have
to deal with here in Millwood,

- and...
- Yes, of course!

And then I will be back to work.

No, don't worry about it.
I will take care of Lovand

and Noah and anything
else that comes up.

You just take as much time as you need.

- No, I wanna be back.
- I insist.

No, this should not take long.

I will be back in a day or two.

It wasn't self-defense
if he had his back turned.

- Ms. Hanley.
- It's Chang.

Great.

Uh, I'm sorry for your loss.

I appreciate you coming down.
Right this way, please.

Your father had a lot of enemies.

You're sure this was homicide?

It's certainly pointing that way.

How did he die?

Looks like blunt-force trauma.

He took a blow to the back of the head.

- With what?
- A bottle of booze.

A big one.

- I'm sorry, do you need a minute?
- No, I'm good.

Was he in pain?

Single blow to the head, happened fast.

Did he tell you he was gonna be in town

or what he was doing here?

Any idea who might
have done this to him?

Like you said, throw
a stone in this town

and you'll hit someone
with a grudge against him.

We're gonna need a list.

Ben Matheson.

My father threw him under the bus

during the Matheson Steel case.
He lost everything.

But I can't imagine him
doing something like this.

That lawsuit destroyed my life.

Do I blame Hanley for that?

Sure, maybe.

You think I had something
to do with this?

Where were you last night
between 8 and midnight?

I was at The Boot all night.

A lot of people saw me.

I can get you a list

or you could just talk to
Lou, I was sitting at the bar.

I know you think I had
something to do with this.

What do you mean by that?

Because I was at the motel.

A lot of people were
staying at the motel, Shane.

But were a lot of people supposed
to be staying in that room?

What are you talking about?

Look, I know I don't exactly
have a squeaky-clean record,

and it's no secret that
the guy was a douche,

but I didn't do it.

We're not saying you did, son.

Yeah. It's like I told
the officer last night.

I didn't see or hear anything.

There's no need to worry.

Sorry, I just get nervous
talking to police.

Of course.

You know who doesn't?

Bad guys.

We just want to know what
you saw last night, Taylor.

I didn't see anything.

I did hear an argument though.

- Between?
- A man,

I guess that was David
Hanley, and some woman.

You hear what was being said?

- No.
- Did you hear anything else?

Anything more after the argument?

- Any type of struggle?
- No. Sorry. It all died down

by the time the pizza guy came.

Any idea what time that was?

Uh, I don't know, 9-ish?

Can you talk about the
women in your father's life?

I'd rather not.

It's no secret your father
was a fan of the ladies.

- You can't have been oblivious to that.
- I don't know what to tell you.

We just want to talk to you

about your, uh,

relationship with David Hanley.

It was a lifetime ago.

- You knew he was in town?
- I'm the mayor, not a psychic.

Can your office handle

- this investigation?
- 100%.

- Because if this goes sideways.
- It's not gonna happen.

And you're sure you shouldn't
bring in some backup on this?

Hey, I'm the one asking
the questions here, Mayor.

Where were you last night?

I was hosting a fundraiser
at the Booster Club.

Anybody see you there?

Yeah.

The 55 people I delivered a speech to.

Last time you were in town,
didn't someone give you

a big old shiner?

Amy Carr.

And why would she haul off and do that?

She was upset about what
happened with her sister.

- Erin?
- Yeah.

- What did you do to Erin?
- Nothing.

It was a message.

For your father?

- Where were you last night?
- I was home

watching reruns

of Say Yes to the Dress.
I am guilty of that.

- Were you alone?
- Yeah.

What were you doing at Gerrilynn
Spence's place last week?

I was working. She asked
me to appraise her house.

She wanted to sell?

That's right.

But the house isn't listed.

I guess she changed her mind.

Or maybe you two cooked
up a different plan.

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

Two ex-girlfriends of David Hanley...

Well we weren't conspiring if
that's where this is going.

We only want to determine
what happened last night.

I'm sorry. I can't help you with that.

Where do you think you're going?

Am I under arrest?

No, Ma'am.

Well then, you can't keep me here.

You let me know when you
catch whoever did this.

I'd like to send them a gift basket.

Of course I was angry,
but I had other recourse.

- We filed a civil suit.
- Wow!

Now, those are some fancy words.
Your lawyer teach you those?

A lot of people saw that
stunt you pulled at The Boot.

I argued with him; I didn't kill him.

- But you were angry.
- Yes.

- I already told you that.
- You threw a glass at his head.

Yeah. A couple of
tables actually cheered.

But you missed.

Maybe you went back to the
motel to finish the job?

I didn't kill him.

We have and eyewitness account

of an Indigenous woman
fleeing the scene.

That plus broken glass at the motel.

Seems like we have a running theme here.

Look, we got into it at the bar,

and that's the last time I saw him, OK?
I swear.

- I was working all night!
- You didn't take a break then?

Yes. Uh, no.

- I took my break.
- How long?

I don't know, 10 minutes maybe.

You sure you didn't stretch it a bit?

- Head over to the motel?
- No!

Look...

I'm sure you didn't go there

with the intention of killing him.

I didn't go there, period.

You just wanted to finish the argument

you started at The Boot,
things got out of hand.

- It happens.
- You know what?

I don't have anything more to say.

SIT DOWN, Ms. Spence!

Sit down!

When are you people
gonna learn some respect?

I want to talk to my lawyer.

You hear me?! I want
to talk to my lawyer!

I'm detaining you in connection
with the murder of David Hanley.

What?

- Luna.
- Where's Mom?

Um... Uh...

David Hanley died last night.

He was murdered.

Your mom's being held for questioning.

- She didn't do it.
- I know.

- I need to see her...
- No, no. Hey, hey,

you can't go back there right now.

I'm telling you, she didn't do it.

She didn't do it.

She didn't do it!

They strip searched me, Billy,

and they took all sorts of pictures.

It's supposed to be for
your own protection.

- Well, it sure doesn't feel that way.
- In case of police brutality.

You sit tight.

Don't say a word.

They haven't charged you with anything;

it's clear they don't have a case.

Can you call Luna and
explain what's going on?

She knows. She's right outside.

Do you want me to bring her in?

No. I don't...

I don't want her to see me like this.

He's cutting corners,
jumping to conclusions.

He's dangerous.

If you want me to stick my
neck out for you, I need more.

A man was murdered, and a
potentially innocent woman

may be blamed for it,
an Indigenous woman.

I know the history of this town.

With all due respect, my
history and your history

in this town are pretty
different, Mayor.

We're on the same team, Owen.

Just bring me something I can use.

Joanna!

Joanna.

What are you doing here?

Uh, I-I drove in with
Taylor this morning.

Uh, my mom, she didn't
do what they're saying.

They're talking to a lot of people,

- I'm sure it's just a formality.
- She didn't kill him!

- Hey, hey.
- Are they done? Can I see her?

No, not yet. Luna, I talked to her.

It's gonna be OK. I'm
gonna do everything I can

- to get her out of here.
- I want to see her.

No, no, not right now.

She asked that you head out to my place.

Just lay low for a bit.

OK? I'll call you the
second we know anything.

OK. But you'll take care of her, right?

You have my word.

How did my father react

to Gerrilynn's civil suit against him?

You know I can't discuss
the case with you.

- Why not? He's dead, Billy.
- He's not my client.

She has motive. She
probably had opportunity.

Joanna, a lot of people in Millwood
had motive and opportunity.

Yes, but how many of those people
pressed charges against him

and had those charges thrown out?

That would make me pretty angry.

You know her... you
can't think she did this.

I don't know what to think.

She didn't do it.

Hey. The coroner's report came back.

Give me the CliffsNotes version.

Uh, no defensive wounds

other than the head trauma.

There's no other signs of a struggle.

Pulled a bunch of prints
off the murder weapon.

They're running those.

And, interestingly, they found

skin underneath his fingernails.

They're running the DNA.

So, it's good news.
Exonerates Gerrilynn.

How do you figure?

You saw the pictures, she
doesn't have a mark on her.

Well, no visible signs
of struggle, but...

that skin could be from the last woman

that Hanley had sex with.

What? So you're saying Gerrilynn

went over and killed him

after some other woman had sex with him?

No, I'm saying I don't know
what happened in that motel.

And neither do you, Owen.

I'm keeping her until the DNA is back.

Hi. You've reached Molly.
You know what to do.

Hey, it's me.

Again.

It says here Billy Crawford's
the lawyer on record...

Obviously. I'm his partner

and I want to speak to our client now!

I want to know what
happened to my father.

Just tell me the truth, and I'll leave.

Joanna, you...

you... you have to believe
I could never... I...

I would never.

He was your dad, and you loved him.

I loved him too...

once.

You don't say a word to anyone

without Billy here, got it?

OK... What are you gonna do?

I'm gonna find out who did this
and help get you out of here.

- Who are you?
- Shane?!

It's-it's me, Taylor.

Taylor Matheson?

You shouldn't be sneaking around
out here, I could have hurt you.

I'm sorry. I was just
looking for my yearbook.

Being home has made
me kind of nostalgic.

Billy told me no one was here.

Why is your stuff in
my brother's garage?

You probably heard that my
parents were splitting up.

No...

No, I didn't. I'm so sorry.

That sucks!

Yeah, it does.

Billy was nice enough to
let me keep my stuff here.

Bad time to show up in town.

What with the murder and everything.

I know. That's crazy, right?

I was supposed to stay in that room.

- What? What do you mean?
- Last night,

I asked for that room;
they said it was taken.

That's super creepy.

Stay here. Let me check this out.

Luna!

- Are you OK?
- Tay, I-I...

I'm sorry. Stupid, stupid question.

- You good?
- Yeah, we're good.

Watch your backs out there, eh?

- Who's that?
- That's Billy's brother.

Come on, let's get you inside.

Taylor... Taylor, my dad...

- I know.
- My mom, they're holding her

- for questioning.
- What?!

They think she's somehow connected.

No, there's no way she did it.

Sometimes, you don't know, Luna,

what people are capable of.

- What are you saying?
- Nothing. I'm not...

I just... I didn't believe

that my dad would poison
the town, but he did.

I'm sorry, Luna.

This isn't coming out the
way that I want it to.

I'm just nervous.

Being home, it's been a lot.

I'm sorry. I shouldn't have
bailed on you the other night.

No, it's OK.

I had to go down to the police station

to answer some questions
about what I heard

at the motel last night.

Oh, what did you hear?

An argument between him and some woman.

- Did you hear what they said?
- No. No.

It was muffled. Not much help I guess.

Check 1-0-4.

You jeopardize this entire
investigation, you realize that?

Nobody saw me. What was
in the coroner's report?

No way.

Doesn't that look like
fresh blood to you?

And your guys missed it.

Things are being missed, Owen.

This investigation is amateur hour.

The coroner found DNA under his nails.

Whoever killed him likely
got scratched in the process.

And cut.

- You have to test that blood.
- Oh, we will.

Please tell me you didn't
touch anything in here.

Don't worry, I'm not nearly
as sloppy as the Millwood PD.

How did you find that down there?

My father would never
use motel towels. Ever.

He always brought his own.

Check his stuff. He
has a monogrammed set.

And there is one towel missing.

Someone was bleeding and left
with one of those towels.

- This is huge, Joanna.
- I know.

You have to get Mercer
off this investigation.

He's not experienced enough.

We have to find who did this.

We will.

Now why don't you stick
to your job, counselor,

and let me do mine.

I have been calling you so
much I feel like a stalker.

Don't say that.

It's my fault. I've been...

I've been stupid.

No, you haven't.

We're both just trying
to figure stuff out.

I can't believe he's dead.

Are you OK?

Uh... I don't really know

how I am supposed to feel.

I'll jump on a bus. I can
be there in a few hours, OK?

No, don't.

I just... I-I want to get out of here,

but I need to make sure
that my mom's OK first.

Yeah, of course.

So, uh, I'll call you when I know more.

Yeah.

I'm really glad I
finally got ahold of you.

Me too.

I'm sorry I haven't been around more.

That stops now, OK?

I love you, Lu.

I love you too.

- Thanks for coming.
- Of course.

I'm sorry about how I was earlier.

Hey, let's not start apologizing.

It'll set a bad precedent.

I believe Gerrilynn's innocent.

I found new evidence at the crime scene.

You broke into the crime scene?

- Billy, keep your voice down.
- What were you thinking?

I was trying to help your client.

She doesn't need that kind of help.

Her alibi checks out, and I have this.

- He tried to pay her off.
- Yeah.

So why wouldn't she cash it first?

Jesus!

I'd want that kind of money
for a getaway, wouldn't you?

- Yeah, definitely.
- Hey.

Can we talk about the bit where
you broke into a crime scene?

Billy...

I just think you might be
a little close to this.

No, I'm fine.

Come on, let's go get your client out.

She's not going anywhere
until the DNA comes back.

That's what David Hanley offered
Gerrilynn to drop the civil suit.

This does nothing to prove
she didn't kill him.

So why didn't she cash it?

I don't know, maybe she
was insulted by the offer.

It's gonna be hard to prove to a jury

that anyone around here would be
insulted by half a million dollars.

Plus, I have two coworkers

willing to give sworn
statements that Gerrilynn

took one 10-minute break, all night.

Not nearly enough time
to get to the motel

and to kill him and then get back.

Without a scratch on her, I might add.

No motive, no opportunity,

no defensive wounds.

Tell your client not to leave town.

You should probably lay low for a bit.

Mercer's gunning for you.

- Thank you.
- You got it.

Thanks for helping me.

And again, I just want to say I'm sorry.

Come on, let's get you home.

It's been a long day.

Diane wants to meet us at The Boot.
You up for that?

I could really use a drink.

Have you notified everyone you need to?

- Do you need me to call anyone?
- I don't think so.

I spoke to the partners at CTS,

and, um...

I called my mom.

Oh, honey, that must have been...

Yeah.

Yeah, complicated.

I know how strained things
were between you and your dad.

Strained is an understatement.

Get back to me as soon as you
get the results. Thank you.

Nothing was ever easy with him.
I mean, even now,

I want to just bury him,
and I can't even do that.

Sorry. That was the police.

Still no word on the forensic results.

I would feel a hell of a lot better

if Mercer wasn't in
charge of this thing.

- I think we all would.
- It's out of our control.

We need to focus on the facts.

When I spoke to Taylor
about her statement,

she said she had no idea

the argument she heard
even involved your father.

Wait, Taylor was a witness?

Yeah, she was staying at the motel.

She came in last night?

As far as I know.

I have to go. Um,

- thanks for the drink.
- Wait.

What? Where are you going?

Why did you lie to me?

What?

You told me that you and
Taylor came in this morning,

but you and I both know
she was here last night.

He told me to go home, and I
followed him into the room.

We started fighting. And
then when he threatened

to call the cops,
I grabbed for his phone

- and that's how I got these...
- But then you left?

- Yes.
- And you never went back?

No. I told you.

OK. So you got in a fight with him,

left and then an hour or so later,

someone else killed him?

Why do you say it like that?

- Like what?
- Like you don't believe me.

Luna, you lied to me.

Because he's your dad!

I didn't want you to think

that I had anything to do
with what happened to him.

Mercer told me

that they have a witness that saw

an indigenous woman leave the room,

so it's only a matter of time before
they piece two and two together.

Where were you gonna go?

I don't know. South?

It'll look worse for you if you run.

You have to go to the
police and tell them

what you just told me,
explain exactly what happened.

No. See, you're acting like she's you.

The rules are different for us.

If she goes in there,
she's not coming out.

If she runs, she will never stop.

You have to get out in front
of this because you know

when that DNA comes back,

it's gonna place her at the scene.

Luna,

I can protect you.

Can I sleep on it?

Of course, baby.

The decision is yours.

Oh, no.

I'll make the couch.

Is Luna with you?

- No, she isn't.
- Then where the hell is she?

Oh, dammit!

- Sam.
- There we go.

I want to thank you for all
the work you've done so far...

Oh, don't patronize me!

I understand it's a
high-profile case, Alison...

Sam,

blood that wasn't the victim's
was missed at the crime scene.

How can you possibly know that?

It's not your concern. I want
the RCMP brought in on this.

I already told you that was unnecessary!

And I'm telling you this town can't
handle any more negative press.

Look, this is my investigation to run!

For now.

You can be replaced.

Hey, everything OK in here?

She thinks she can come in here,

threaten me, threaten my job?

Well, let me tell you something,
that door swings both ways.

- Now is not the time to panic.
- No, no, no, no,

I don't panic. I close cases.

Luna?

I'm ready to go to the station
and tell them what happened.

- You're sure, baby?
- Yeah.

You're making the right decision.

Luna Spence...

We were just going to come
down to the station...

You're under arrest for
the murder of David Hanley.

Luna is a witness. You
don't need to cuff her!

- No, no, no, no!
- Gerrilynn. Gerrilynn.

- Are you insane?! No!
- Shh, shh, shh.

- We'll get out of there, OK?
- What are you doing?!

- Just relax.
- You're gonna be OK.

- Get off of me!
- Owen, I've got her!

No!

No! No.

- She has the right to counsel.
- You can't keep us out.

I'll call you when she's been processed.

Hi. You've reached Molly.
You know what to do.

Hey, it's... it's me.

Uh, it's Luna. Umm...

I... I accidentally
got your car impounded.

Maybe Taylor can get
it and drive it back.

Umm...

they think I did it, Molls.

They...

They think I killed him, but I didn't.

I swear, I swear I didn't do it.

I just really, really
need to hear your voice.

I just really, really
need to hear your voice.

OK.

We need a plan.

The evidence is circumstantial,
but still it doesn't look good.

Luna's gonna need the best
defense we can give her.

Are you listening?

I know my representing
her is an ethical breach,

and I know we need a plan, but...

But first, you have to listen to this.

Guys like David get off with nothing,

But not this time. I don't know how,

but he's gonna pay for what he did.

He's gonna get what's coming to him.
