Logan!

I got your text. Oh, geez.

You've got some real fancy friends,
you know that?

Yeah, we're not here
to rub elbows. Let's go.

I'm a little underdressed.

- You know my wife, Catherine, of course?
- Recognize that guy?

The river clean-up is going to have

a huge impact on the quality
of life in the city.

Yeah, yeah.
That's Greg Turner, right?

He's running for mayor again.

He lost by a couple
hundred votes last time.

He's with his wife, Catherine

and his campaign manager,
Steve Garfield.

I haven't really been following the race,

but my girlfriend's a huge fan
of Turner's, actually.

Says he's exactly what the city needs,

you know, an honest, hard-working guy

who's gonna make the city a better place.

And that's exactly what
she's supposed to believe.

I want you to read him.
Find out whatever you can.

You serious? Look, I...

You want me to read the guy
who's running for mayor?

Yeah, is there a problem with that?

Kind of have a rule against just
randomly reading people.

There's nothing random about this,
just take my word for it.

It doesn't work that way.

How does it work?

I grab pieces of whatever a person's
thinking at the time.

So, Turner would have
to be thinking about

whatever it is you think he did.

No problem. Let's go.

Well, I tell you,
someone's gotta get in there

and clean up the corruption in city hall.

Hello, Turner.

Detective Becker.

What brings you here this evening?

Well, I just thought
you might be ready to tell me

what happened to Sally.

I'd do anything for you.

I'm sorry, would you give us
a moment, honey?

- Of course. You'll excuse us, won't you?
- Yeah.

Have you met Judith...?

Detective, if I had any information
at all that I thought useful...

You'd bury it as deep as you could,
I know.

This time's gonna be different.

This time, there's just nowhere
for you to hide.

Detective Becker,

this is a private function
at the candidate's home.

Perhaps you should drop by
the campaign office tomorrow.

It's Staff Inspector, now.

I'm with the IIB

and we're re-opening
the Sally Lipton case.

I thought this was all over.

Why don't we take a step over here,

- there's somebody you have to meet.
- Sure.

What'd you get? Did you see anything?

Nothing concrete.

But I think he knows more about
the girl than he's letting on.

What happened to her, anyway?

Sally Lipton disappeared three years ago

working on Turner's first campaign.

And you think he had something
to do with it?

He killed her.

Now I've got you, to prove it.

- sync & corrections by wolfen-
- Www.addic7ed.com...

Murderer? Turner's the best thing

the city's seen in years.

Well, Becker thinks he's good for it.

I don't buy it.

I've been writing about Turner
for three years now.

How he plans to improve public transit,

build affordable housing,
target corruption at city hall.

I mean, one more term with Mayor Driscoll
and the city's sunk.

Don't shoot the messenger.
Look, I got a read that looked

like there was something going on
between Sally and Turner.

Then why wasn't Turner arrested
when she disappeared?

I don't know. I don't know.

But I know that Becker's
re-opening the case

and we're investigating
Greg Turner for murder.

That's off the record, by the way.

Sally Lipton was only 23 years old

when she disappeared three years ago

while working as a junior fund-raiser on

Greg Turner's first campaign.

She looks young, even for 23.

Her mother described
her as idealistic to a fault.

Very trusting, but also hardworking
and dedicated

to whatever cause she threw herself into.

And that cause was Turner?

Sally told her roommate

she was off to see Turner
the night she disappeared.

She was never seen again.

You think there was something
going on between the two?

She was young and infatuated
and he's a politician.

You do the math.

When I saw Sally in Turner's mind.
I mean, nothing explicit

but she was definitely
infatuated with him.

An affair with a girl that young

would have tarnished his good-guy image,

ruined his political chances for good.

So, Turner thinks she'll talk and...

Then he kills her to keep her quiet...

That's the direction
we were headed at metro.

But you guys could never prove it?

Nope. Never found a body.

Never found out where
she was meeting Turner, either.

In fact, he had an alibi
provided by his wife.

Catherine Turner runs
a big eco charity it depends

almost exclusively on private donations
from wealthy patrons.

She said that he was home
with her all night, I don't buy that.

You really think she'd cover
for a cheating husband?

She had a lot at stake, too.

Yeah, I think she lied.

I think Turner's good for this.

I'm having all the stored evidence

from the metro case sent over asap.

Thank you Corporal Sergeant.

I sent over a list of all the people that

we interviewed in the first investigation.

Alright, we'll start with the roommate.

She was the last one to see Sally alive.

And I want reads on absolutely everyone.
No exceptions.

Yes, sir.

This one got away from me the first time.

Don't let me down on this.

Alright, he's acting like
I'm his personal superpower.

He's still getting used to how
your reads work, OK?

- And if he's right about Turner...
- Oh, he better be right.

Because if Tia had to choose
between me or Turner this morning...

You wouldn't be the first one

to lose out to a guy
with a bigger platform.

Let's figure out what happened
to her, come on.

She was my best friend
and then she was just gone.

That must have been
very difficult for you.

It still is.

But, I've already told the police
everything I know.

Sargent Becker interviewed me
over and over again.

Well, he hopes by reopening
the case with us,

having fresh eyes and ears,

we might get a new lead
or jog loose a new memory.

I just don't know what else
I can tell you.

Start from the beginning.
Pretend like we know nothing.

You were the last person
to see Sally alive.

She rushed in and out that night.

Said she was going to meet Turner.

I won't be late.

In your initial interviews,

you said that you thought that
they were having an affair.

She never said anything.

But I know they were.

Turner was all she ever talked about

and she'd become really secretive
in the last few weeks.

You know if she was messaging Turner

or if they were having
a relationship online?

I don't know.

I know the police couldn't find
any proof of an affair

or a secret meeting and that
Turner just denied everything.

But I know it was him.

She went to meet Turner
and then she never came back.

So, you're telling me that the IIB
thinks that Turner

killed somebody and is covering it up?

Keep your voice down.

Well, I think everyone would have
heard about it by now.

That's like, international
front page headline news.

Yeah, tell me about it.
Not that I can use it.

That's the problem with living
with an IIB OP.

You get all this great stuff,
you can't write it.

And you cannot say a word.

My lips are sealed, OK?
It's the bartender's oath.

This is like attorney-client
confidentiality here.

Good. I don't buy it.

I've met Turner, he is a great guy.

I think so, too. I mean,
I've never met the guy.

I've seen his face on bus benches.

But the IIB thinks that he killed somebody

and is covering it up?

Toby's boss thinks so.

What, Becker? Nah, nah.
That hardly means it's the truth.

- You don't even know him.
- Hey, I met Becker

before you were even in the picture,
young lady.

And I know the type, OK?
He's like a dog with a bone.

He gets an idea in his head
and he doesn't let it go.

How do you think he figured out
Toby has his, you know,

thing he has. He just kept
pounding and pounding

until he cracked it.

And he was right about that. Right?

So, guess that means he could be
right about this, too.

No, no, no. He got lucky once.

I'm willing to bet that Turner
is still the guy

that he says he is, OK?

The guy he seems to be and the guy
that this city needs.

Mayor Driscoll is an embarrassment.
Do you know what?

I have friends who run the city hall beat

they say we don't even know
the half of it. I mean,

drinking in the office, women coming
and going at all hours.

Hitting on everything
that moves. It's gross.

It's about time we change things.

It's about time someone did something
to change things,

for a change.

What?

You know what I think I'm going
to throw my hat into the ring.

Not like... I'm not gonna run for mayor

But I mean, this is a hub of public
discourse and citizenry

- and whatnot.
- What are you gonna do?

Because buying votes with alcohol
is kind of illegal.

That's not the idea.

Although, in this case,
you have to admit,

- that would be pretty good.
- So what are you going to do?

I don't know. Yet. And if I did,
i wouldn't tell you, OK?

It's gotta be perfect.

As for Turner, Toby knows
what he's doing.

He'll do the right thing.

Even if his boss pushes him
in the wrong direction?

Becker's got a lot of power
and now with Toby's gift...

He's got even more.

There was no affair.
The girl was fixated on Turner,

worshiped the ground that he walked on,

but it was totally one sided.

So why'd he set up the meet with her?

She didn't. You guys have all
the phone records,

the emails, the texts.

Right, but he probably had
a burner phone.

Politicians usually do when they're
having illicit affairs

with very young women.

Look, you guys have got this all wrong.

Turner's a good man and a man
this city desperately needs

if we're going to be rid
of our lousy excuse of a mayor.

But your boss is on a one man
crusade to ruin him.

- I'm going to

take you down, Turner.
Promise.

So why do you think Becker
has it out for Turner?

Because he can't accept
that he got it wrong.

Didn't crack the case.

Maybe you two haven't noticed

but the guy's a bit of a strong arm.

- Thank you for your time.
- OK.

Alright, what'd you get?

Well, the roommate, Veronica,
is pretty convinced

there was something going on
between Sally and Turner.

I saw Sally online at night

she was on a web-page with
a flying horse on it.

A flying horse?

A... a file-storing site I know
has something like that.

Come on, how do you do that?
Yeah, that's it.

We never found anything like this
in the first investigation.

Let me look into it.
Even if the account's been deleted

there's still maybe fragments
of files buried deep in the server.

Who else did you get?

The campaign manager, Steve,

is just as convinced
there was nothing going on.

But you read him right?
I mean he's lying.

I don't think so.
He might not be right,

but he believes what he said.

I thought this gift of yours

was supposed to make
solving cases easier?

It's not really that straight forward.

I'm starting to see that.

Please tell me you got
something else off him?

Nothing relevant, no.

That's great. That's just great.

So we haven't been able
to clarify motive at all.

Alright, well let's see
how we do on opportunity.

Go talk to Turner's wife.

She's the one who supplied the alibi.

See what you can read, push her hard,

then use that information
to get her to recant. And this time,

please come back
with something concrete.

I'm not watching this creep

waltz his way into city hall
without a fight.

How did the campaign manager
put it, again?

Something about a strong arm.

Guys. I was talking to
an old friend at metro,

you know, when they were sending
over the old I.T. Files.

- Yeah...?
- And during the first

Sally Lipton investigation,

Becker was sanctioned after Turner lodged
a harassment complaint.

It took him two years
to get his next promotion.

- What?
- Toby got a read

from the campaign manager.

I heard Becker threaten Turner,

said he was going to
"Take him down."

Well, he wouldn't be the first cop
who got obsessed with

the wrong man's guilt.

Or he's just trying to get

that black check mark taken off
of his record.

So, he's not his biggest fan
of the guy, but you guys think

- he's gonna go that far?
- No...

But I mean, how well do
we really know him?

He does only seem to be
looking for whatever reads

- make Turner look good for it.
- OK. So, what do we do?

First, we go talk to the wife.

If Toby says the alibi sticks,

the gloves come off.

I can offer you tea.

I'm afraid there's not
much else in the house

with all the campaigning...

It's fine, Mrs. Turner.
We won't be long.

We just have a couple
of questions for you.

Anything I can do to help.

I didn't know Sally well,
but she was an intern

at my charity before she moved over
to the campaign.

What her poor family
must be going through...

Mrs. Turner, it's been suggested
that Sally

and your husband
were having an affair.

My husband isn't that kind of man.

And he'd never take advantage
of a young woman's trust.

Good to a fault...

But Sally's roommate said
that Sally was meeting

your husband the night that
she disappeared. That...

- Doesn't concern you at all?
- How could it?

Greg was home with me

- from seven o'clock on.
- You're certain?

He was asleep on that couch

10 minutes after
he walked in the door.

Honey, wake up...

I coaxed him up to bed
around midnight.

The usual routine during
an exhausting campaign.

- OK, well thank you for

your time.

- If there's anything else...
- Of course.

Sweetheart?

I saw the car out front.
I didn't know we were expecting...

Anyone.

You were at the fundraiser
last night.

That's right. We're from the IIB.

We're investigating
Sally Lipton's disappearance.

First you confront me
at a private function

and now here you are
harassing my wife.

- Greg, please...
- No, no, no, sweetheart.

This is unacceptable, it's gone too far.

This is blatant police targeting

days before the election
and I won't stand for it.

You think the police

should be concerned with optics,
Mr. Turner?

I think your boss is

trying to destroy me
to protect his own career.

And if you're not careful,

- he's gonna bring you down with him.
- I'll see to it.

Thank you for your time.

So was I reading you right in there?

The wife's telling the truth.

I saw Turner asleep on the couch
the night Sally disappeared.

You're sure?

Yeah, I think Becker's out
for the wrong man.

Bringing us down with him.

You're sure that's what you saw?

It was a clear read. I saw him asleep
on the couch.

Did you see a calendar?
You see a clock on the wall?

How do you know Turner's wife was

- even thinking of the right night?
- Memories usually flow

from the question being asked.

- It's not pure science...
- Then you asked the wrong questions!

Get back there. Talk to her again

and get me something I can use.

Sergeant?

Look, I understand

- where you're coming from.
- You do?

You feel in your gut that
Turner's good for this

and you want to follow that instinct.

We've all been there.

Get to the point, McCluskey.

You're being an ass.

- Excuse me?
- We're running out of leads On Turner,

just like you did back at metro.

And you're too blind to see it.

If you don't back up

and take a look at the brick wall

that you're running all of our heads into,

You're going to end up sanctioned
for the second time.

Sit down.

You ever had an unsolved case like this?

Of course. We all have.

Sally's mother calls me
once a month looking for an update.

Once a month for three years.

And every time I've gotta tell her

I've got nothing.

That's why you can't let this go?

Is there a competing theory out there?

They think I'm trying
to move up the ladder

by getting a conviction on Mr. Clean,

get that citation removed
from my file, is that right?

They won't anymore.

Next time Sally's mother calls,

- I'm going to have answers.
- Yeah, you will.

But you need to let us start
looking at other options.

Becker says that we can
widen the investigation

and ease up on Turner.

- You hypnotized him, right?
- That was plan B.

Dev, tell me you have something.

Well, it's something.

I managed to locate fragments
of deleted files

from Sally's cancelled andromeda account

but it's just bits and pieces.

You're not kidding. It's just a jumble
of words and short phrases.

Right now, but if I run it through
a program that

orders everything according
to frequency of repetitions...

The more she used a word,

the higher up on the list it went.

That's right. So once you get through
the obvious words:

"And", "The", etcetera.

You get Turner. Hundreds of times.

But that's not unusual, I mean
she worked for him, right?

She did... But then there's this.

Kellar. Who's Kellar?

I don't know, but her deleted files

have that name even more than Turner's.

And she transferred
all the files mentioning

Kellar to a flash drive
before deleting them.

All on the same night she disappeared.

We all assumed that Sally
was emailing Turner

late at night to try to hide their affair.

Maybe she was hiding something else?

Did the roommate ever mention
anything about Kellar

- in the initial interviews?
- No one did.

Like I said, it's not much.

What if she was seeing someone else?

Yeah, but her roommate said
she had crazy hours.

Maybe this Kellar person did, too?

Let's go speak to the campaign boss.

Kellar isn't a person,
the Kellar company is

one of our biggest campaign contributors.

Well, what can you tell us about them?

They focus on green products,

recycling programs, solar research...

Do you have any idea
what connection Sally

might've had to the Kellar company?

Something she wanted to keep secret?

I have no idea. The head
of fundraising handles

all their contributions personally.

Sally would've had nothing
to do with them.

We lose Kellar, we lose everything.

So, who would we contact there?

You have heard of something

called obstruction of justice, right?

It comes with a nice long prison term.

The CEO's name is Dylan Stewart.

- His offices are down on Adelaide.
- Thank you.

- You see the look he gave me?
- Good thing I know CPR.

Now you're after the Kellar company?

We're not "After" anyone.

It sounds like Becker is.

He's gunning for Turner,

and now he's wants
to drag a company

who should be given Earth day awards
into this witch hunt.

Tia? Witch hunt?
It's an investigation.

Verging on police harassment,
if it's not there already.

I'm not the only one who's made
that accusation, am I?

Becker got into a little heat
the last time

He worked this case.

It just makes me wonder about
his political leanings.

Political leanings?

You ask Turner's biggest
contributor questions

that link him to Sally's disappearance?

They could drop him, Toby.

Done. Over.

We're back to mayor Driscoll

and his wall-to-wall corruption.

Look, Sally was 23 years old.

I think her family deserves
some answers. Don't you?

- Hey! Who wants a beer?
- I do.

- What colour?
- Colour?

Oh, well, you see,
we're running an informal

election-based poll,
completely unbiased.

We've coloured two of the drafts,

one for each of the leading candidates,

and we're gonna be tallying up
the orders for each.

So, what's Turner's colour?

I'll have a non-alcoholic one of those.

Green, it is. You know,
'cause he's so eco.

- And for you, sir?
- What colour is the current mayor's?

Oh, well, Driscoll's is a delicate shade

that we're referring to as gutter scum.

It's a kind of a reddish, brownish,
sorta sickly blah...

- Totally unbiased.
- Two greens it is.

Look, I just needed to talk,

to get this off my chest.

I'm not comfortable
with this investigation either.

A young girl's missing.
I get it. I do.

So shouldn't I do whatever I can

- to find out what happened to her?
- Yes. Of course.

But in this case, I think
Becker's turned you

into his own illegal wire-tapping service.

And I don't think that's
why you joined the IIB.

What if Tia's right and this is
police harassment?

Well, everyone has to answer
to the law.

Mr. Stewart, we're with the IIB.

We have a few questions for you

regarding Sally Lipton's disappearance.

Yeah, I was glad to hear you
re-opened the case.

What do you mean she found out?
Who the hell is this girl?

Oh, so you knew Sally Lipton?

Well no, I never met the girl,

but everyone from the campaign was talking
about it at the time.

She was very interested in your company.

Do you have any idea why?

Lots of young people are interested
in the Kellar company.

It's not that surprising.

Do you know why she was
researching you guys?

Or what she might've found out?

I've put Bolt on it.
Don't worry.

I'm sorry, no. And I apologize,

But I've got a meeting across town

that I'm already late for.

So you don't know what happened to Sally?

No, of course not.

Take care of it.

I only wish I could help.

If there's anything else,
please don't hesitate.

We won't.

I think I might have just seen
Sally's killer.

So Kellar's not a person.
It's a company

and it's a contributor
to Turner's campaign?

When we interviewed the CEO,
Dylan Stewart,

we got a read of this guy here.

- Who is that?
- We're not sure,

but we think that his last name
might be Bolt.

That's right.
I got a clear read

of Dylan telling Bolt to
"Take care of it".

I never even seen these guys before.

The Kellar company was Turner's
biggest campaign contributor,

but Sally had no direct contact with them.

So, then why would the CEO
want to kill her?

It was something she knew.

I saw Dylan on the phone promising
to keep her quiet.

We think that she may have

found out some dirt on the company.

I've taken a cursory look at
Kellar company and Stewart,

- but nothing appears out of line.
- Keep looking.

- And find this mystery man.
- Yes, sir.

Toby and I'll go talk to
the roommate again.

Maybe she knew what Sally found out

and just didn't realize it was important.

Thanks. Just hold up a sec, guys,

listen, I got a call from
the superintendent this morning.

About what?

Well, she told me in not so many words

to back off Turner until
after the election.

So because he's a politician,

he gets a get out of jail free card?

Yeah. Something about not interfering

with the democratic process.

But the investigation is steering away
from Turner, now.

We're looking at the
Kellar company at this point.

Which happens to be

one of Turner's biggest
campaign contributors.

Listen, all that matters is
if we don't back down now,

you guys could end up with
black marks on your records.

I should know.

I can't drag you down with me.

Michelle's right. The law shouldn't

apply differently to different people.

We go where the evidence leads us.

I don't remember Sally ever talking about
the Kellar company.

What about this guy?

Dylan Stewart. Do you recognize him?

I've never seen him before.

But, I think I recognize him.

- Yeah?
- Yeah.

He was the cop that came by later

and picked up the rest of Sally's stuff.

I've already told the other detectives

from metro everything I know.

You mean, the police came back?

It was a couple of weeks
after she was gone,

he came by and practically
cleared out the place.

Did he show you a badge?

No, I don't think so.

You think it was him?

So Sally's got something
on the Kellar company...?

Right. Which she was working
on secretly,

and I think is on that flash drive.

She confronts Dylan with the info,
threatens him, maybe?

And Dylan gets our mystery man
to kill her.

And then the same guy poses as a cop,

to try to get the drive from
the rest of her things.

But why kill her when you don't have
all the evidence.

It doesn't add up.

I ran the sketch from Toby's read

through facial recognition
with the last name Bolt

- and boom, I got a hit.
- Nice.

First name's Martin,
he's a security expert.

I'll text you his current address.

- Thank you.
- Let's go.

Well, the informal poll has Turner
winning by a landslide.

Apparently, only 3 people out of 100
ordered the gutter scum.

Hey, what's with the long face?

You're a Turner supporter, right?

Officially, I'm unbiased.

But yes, 100% I am in the Turner camp.

What if Toby's boss is right?

What if Turner isn't the good guy

I think he is and I just don't want
to believe it?

What if he's just a slimy politician
who's played me?

Well, I think you still gotta
believe in heroes,

even if sometimes you get it wrong.

That might be OK for regular people...

I like to consider myself extra regular.

I didn't mean that. I mean,
I'm a journalist.

Like clockwork.

It's my job to keep an objective stance.

I'm worried I let blind faith cloud
my coverage of this guy.

Tia. You are a fantastic reporter.

OK, your column is like,
the only thing I read

that's not Fantasy Basketball.

And your job is to just keep trying
to get it right.

That's what you do.

- Thank you, Oz.
- And don't lose faith in the good guys.

Now, can I interest you in one
of our candidate sandwiches?

- Sure.
- OK, we've got the Turner,

which is free-range chicken
on organic arugula

on an artisan spelt roll.

You know what?
I'll take the driscoll.

Just to maintain my neutrality.

OK. One canned pork product
on a day-old bun, coming up.

We have a witness
who will testify that

you impersonated a police officer
to steal personal

belongings from a murder victim.

Eye witness testimony
is notoriously unreliable,

especially three years out.

My client denies any knowledge
of Sally Lipton

or her disappearance.

You know, you're a pretty high
priced muzzle

for a glorified security guard.

- Who's paying your bills, Martin?
- Don't answer that.

Dylan Stewart?
The Kellar company?

Just keep your mouth shut,
Martin, and you're safe.

He hired you, didn't he?

Hired you to kill Sally.

Don't say anything.

Is there something about the right

to remain silent that eludes you?

He told you to "Take care of it".
And you did.

Stop harassing my client.

He can remain silent,

but that doesn't mean we have to.

You lured her out into the woods,

somewhere her body
would never be found.

Who are you, where's Mr. Turner?

Somewhere far out,
you pretended to be Turner

and you killed her.
You killed Sally Lipton...

No. No, I didn't.

Martin's telling the truth.
He didn't kill her.

- How can you see him not do something?
- He was there.

He met Sally the night she disappeared.
Same red coat.

But that's it. When I accused him
of killing her and...

I just saw images of him walking away.

Nothing of the murder.

But if he didn't kill her,
what was he doing there?

- I don't know.
- What do you mean you don't know?

You're a mind reader!

How about we stop hitting
our heads against brick walls

and focus on finding that meeting spot.

Alright, um...

It was in a park.
There was a stone well

and there was a statue of a soldier

with the word "Bravery" on a plaque.

I mean, if I saw it,
I would recognize it.

Let's see what I can find.

You running some kind of fancy
imaging software?

Sort of. I'm typing "Statue", "Soldier",

and "Bravery" into a geo-specific
search engine and

I'm just gonna hit return.

- That's amazing.
- That's it.

That's High Park. The south entrance
by the woods.

Call the canine unit,
get a cadaver dog down there.

You don't think that's a bit premature?

Sally didn't make it out
of those woods.

I think we all know that.

Red jacket. It's her.

Yup. Get the body to the coroner
for a positive I.D.

- Yes sir.
- Good work, Logan.

Well, we gotta find who did this.

What's that?

It was found in the well with the body.

Let's see.

There's thousands of dollars here.

What was she doing with all that money?

The preliminary autopsy shows
that Sally died from a gunshot

wound to the chest...
there's no trace yet on the bullet.

There was 20,000 dollars found
in the bag that was buried with her.

But no prints on the money or the bag.

Do we have any good news?

There's this. It was found
in Sally's coat pocket.

Is that the missing flash drive?

- Do you know what's on that?
- Not yet.

There's... a lot of corrosion,
but I'll see what I can get.

OK, so why did Sally
have 20 grand with her?

Maybe... maybe she wasn't as innocent
as she seemed?

Let's get Martin Bolt back in here.

Now that we've got a body, let's see
if we can't make him crack.

Come on now. Time for you
to get all cleaned up.

Hey, Alex.

So, Dev said you were working
on the flash drive

and we're just waiting for
a unit to pick Martin Bolt

so I thought I'd check in
and see how it's going.

Yeah, sorry. I've completely
taken over your space,

but the lab's all backed up and Dev said

that you needed this pronto.

Yeah, no, course, that's fine.

- How's it going?
- Slow. But that's usual.

First, I have to make sure all
the liquid has evaporated.

But then it's left behind residue,
and contaminants,

even salt that wreak havoc
on the connectors.

So, would that be why my cell
didn't work when I dropped it

- in the kitchen sink?
- Exactly.

- OK.
- But with a little time and effort,

each bit of the delicate circuitry can be

cleaned and with any luck...

I think we're gonna need
more than luck.

Certainly more than Sally had.

It's awful to think that
she was down there all that time.

Such a cold and lonely place.

Yeah, it's always difficult.
Especially when the victim

is that young, right?

It must hit a little bit closer to home.

Now that I have a daughter

of my own, I... I can't even imagine
what Sally's mom

has had to go through.

Becker tries to hide it,

but I can tell he's feeling for her, too.

Yeah, maybe there's more
to Becker than we all thought.

I think the most important thing now
is to find Sally's killer

and then make sure that he pays.

Yeah, well, hopefully this flash drive
will cooperate.

How soon before you'll know?

As soon as I charge it up and see
if it blows.

- Well, fingers crossed.
- Hey, Michelle,

they got Martin Bolt in the box for you.

Let me know when you have something.

Will do.

Hey, Alex.

- Do you mind if I...?
- Sure. Yeah.

- It's really coming along.
- Thanks.

- You do really great work.
- Thank you.

Let me know when you're ready
to give it a go.

OK. Can't wait.

I had nothing to do
with killing that girl.

- That is the straight up truth.
- So you didn't get a message

to her pretending to be Turner
and set up that meet?

Mr. Bolt, I'd advise you not
to implicate yourself or others.

But we know the two of you were there
in the woods.

If not to kill her,
then why were you there?

Oh, OK. You gave her the 20,000,
didn't you?

- Mr. Bolt...
- It was a pay-off, wasn't it?

Who sent you?

Just tell her to keep her mouth shut.

Take care of it...

She knew something about
the Kellar company

the CEO didn't want anyone to find out.

Mr. Bolt, need I remind you,
that "Certain parties" will be

very unhappy if you continue to cooperate.

You know, can I give you
a little heads up, as well?

You're looking at a life sentence here.

Would Sally know what got her killed?

I don't know what she knew.

But I know this, that girl was alive
when I left her.

Look, Bolt's telling the truth.
That's all he knows.

So if Bolt didn't pull
the trigger, who did?

- Dylan Stewart.
- No.

Why pay a guy to deliver a bribe
and then kill the girl?

Why leave 20k down in that well?

It doesn't make any sense.

Guys. I know what Sally Lipton found out.

I was able to salvage
enough information off

the damaged drive to figure out
what she was working on

She was investigating
every major donor

- in the Turner campaign.
- Including the Kellar company?

She was a fund-raiser for the campaign,

and a huge admirer of his, so...

She was making sure all of the donors
were on the up-and-up.

Exactly. She was on the same path that

The Kellar company was

owned by someone else...
a numbered corporation

and there's nothing unusual
about that, except that

that company was owned
by another company,

and that was owned by another company,
and so on and so on...

OK, so who actually owns
the Kellar company?

Well, that question was not
so easy to answer.

It would've taken Sally
weeks to track down.

Ownership of the Kellar company
went from coast-to-coast

to overseas, to the
Canary Islands, to Monaco,

all numbered companies,
it's all very difficult to trace.

- Corporal.
- Sorry.

Our squeaky clean eco company
is owned by none other than...

Superior Contracting.
Well, that's basically

- another name for the mob.
- And they've made millions

building, shoddy roads all across
this city, and been accused

multiple times of bribing city officials
to secure contracts.

So Turner's being funded
by the same corruption

that he's campaigning against.

Exactly. They're corrupt,

they're powerful and they've got
a ton to lose.

I mean, if they don't have
a connection at city hall,

they're basically out of business.

Excuse me. Alex?

OK. So Sally found out
that the Kellar company was dirty...

Right. She tells Turner,
who tells Dylan and decides

to bribe her, sends Bolt
with the money...

Yeah, but that's not good
enough for Turner.

He doesn't want her to talk.
So, he waits till Martin is gone

and then he silences her for good.

So, Alex was able to track
that book bag by its label.

It's made by a lady,
she runs a little shop,

and each one is one of a kind.

It was purchased three years ago,
on his credit card,

and the clerk even remembers
selling it to him.

In fact, she's some kind of a fan.

Alex just sent us a picture
of the candidate with the bag.

That's it. We've got him.

No, that only connects
Turner to the bribe,

that doesn't put the gun in his hand.

No, why would he use a bag
that could trace back to him?

No, I don't think he meant
to leave the bag behind.

He killed her and things just went
sideways from there.

What if we charge him
and we're wrong?

Alright.

We could be walking into
a whole pile of it here,

but there's only one way of finding out.

Alright.
We'll go get the answers you need.

- Are you sure it's her?
- Positive.

She was shot and killed
after receiving a $20,000 pay-off

- from you and Dylan Stewart.
- No. That's ridiculous.

My husband would never bribe anyone.

This can't be happening.

Sally figured out that one

of your contributors was crooked
and she was naive enough

to believe that you didn't know about it.

I didn't! I didn't know! I had no idea

Kellar was associated with those
low-lifes at superior until

you just told me, just now.

Well, it was Dylan's idea to bribe her,

but that wasn't good enough
for you, was it?

What? No!

You made sure that Martin Bolt was gone

and then you killed her.

I have to make them believe me...

You have no evidence to support this

and you can't prove anything
because I didn't do anything.

We have this. It was found
with her body.

Where did you get these?

Greg? What is it?

You were right.

You've been right all along.
I killed Sally Lipton.

No, no. That's a lie. You were asleep
on that couch

for hours and hours.
I know you were!

You know he was asleep on the couch

because you drugged him.

Don't say anything, Catherine.

You weren't lying when you gave us
your husband's alibi.

You knew he was on the couch
because you made sure of it.

You had to make sure
that he didn't know that you left

the house that night.

Catherine... I think
we should call our lawyer.

How did you find out that Sally
knew about the Kellar company?

I don't want him to get in trouble...

You know so much about these things.

She came to you for advice, didn't she?

She didn't want him to get in trouble.

Is this your bag?

Is that a gift from your husband?

Catherine...

Don't. You don't have to say anything.

How long did you know
that he was getting money

from the same corrupt people
that he was running against?

Greg's a good man.

But he believes he can change things

without making backroom deals.

Sally Lipton was just like him.

I told Dylan we couldn't buy
her silence with a bribe.

So you killed her.

You did this. You think
you can buy me off with money?

I'm calling Mr. Turner.
And then I'm calling the police.

I can't let you do that.

Greg, I only did it for you. Please,
you have to believe me.

I couldn't stand by and watch her
bring you down. Please.

You killed someone...

to win an election.

Catherine Turner's signed confession.

She and superior contracting
had a deal from the get go:

They'd create a eco company
as a front to funnel

into her husband's campaign.

I guess they were expecting
some pretty juicy

road contracts once he was in power.

Yeah, she would've had access to

a lot of confidential information

that would've made winning
those contracts a piece of cake.

Yeah, she thought her husband was

going to make a big difference

in the lives of a lot of people.

She made a deal with the devil.

And then sacrificed
a young girl's life to cover it up.

Turner's backing out of the race,
citing "Personal issues".

I guess that's too bad, because in the end

he was exactly the guy
that he said he was.

- Thank you, by the way.
- No problem. It's what we do.

Hey, can we buy you a drink?

This was a long, hard road for you.

No, thank you. I...

I've got something that I've been
waiting a long time to do.

Sally's mom.

She gets closure. That's good.

So you were right. Turner was one
of the good guys.

And I'm guessing Metro will be going
after superior contracting

for illegal campaign contributions?

Yeah, well, Dylan Stewart's gonna
go down for extortion,

along with Martin Bolt.

And Catherine Turner killed her,
all because she knew

Sally would never break her principles
and take up bribe.

Hey. Wait up, wait up.

Are you kidding me?
I've got a story to write.

Hey, I've got...

- some leftovers?
- I was correct.

Moligen stew.

Got kinda tired with the whole
mayoral race

after Turner dropped out.

So, I threw all these vegetables

into a bowl, added some green beer,
and stirred.

Sounds interesting.

What does it taste like?

Politics.
