According to these,

I took 212 steps duringmy two-minute report,

and my heart rate got upto 120 beats per minute.

Sue and Craig?

Great info on thesefitness trackers.

Who knew there wereso many options.

And so many duds.

I always say,do your homework.

A little time can save youa lot of money.

Uh, any more heart loggertidbits for us newbies?

Beware of models that claimto count calories.

These trackers are far fromperfect when it comes to that.

Like my diet on the weekends.

[laughs]

Well, you're in luck.

I brought you bothmy favourite model.

Oh!

Wow.

Looks like I'm outof excuses.

Thank you for that report,Ruby.

Of course.

Coming up next onEyes on Seattle at 6:00.

If your TV set looksblack, white and fuzzy,

don't worry, meet the newestresidence of the Seattle zoo.

Ooh, one of those for me?

You really gonna use it?

If it tells time, sure.

Here, you can count your stepsto the vending machine, Frank.

Ha-ha, very funny.

I just wanted to say thank youfor working tonight,

and have a great timeat your sister's wedding.

Oh, and tell your dadI owe him coffee.

Will do.

Gotta run, boss.

Oh, Ruby?

Yeah?

Try and relax a little, huh?That's an order.

Have fun.

Bye.

All right, I'm outta here.

Ooh, look at you, Ms. Sporty.

[chuckles]

Does this mean you're goingto come running with me now?

Ah, and eat your dust, Ange?

Yeah, no, I think I'll stickto hiking.

Your sister feeling goodabout her big day?

I think so...

But you know how she worriesabout everything.

[laughs]

You do know that I am okaybeing single?

Fine.

I'll rig the toss,make sure you catch it.

[playfully]Oh, will you?

[all laugh]

Okay you two, break it up,let's get checked in here.

Oh, speaking of the reception,

uh, Charlotte, have you seenSugar yet?

Only in her magazine articles.

I'm just so excited.

She's baking yourwedding cake.

I know, it's such an honour.

Can't wait to catch up.

Haven't seen Sugar for,what, John?

A few years?

Apparently, she's been prettybusy building her,

uh, big empire here.

[laughs]

Tell me again, why is thisfamous lady baking our cake?

Call it serendipity.

I told her about your wedding,

and it turned out she wasalready going to be

at the resort for the bakerconference.

Sweet.

[laughs]

Ruby Herring.

Derek!

Oh, I love the pink.

Thank you.

[laughs]

You remember Mom and Dadand Charlotte,

our beautiful bride-to-be,and her fiancé, Kevin.

And this is Derek, he'sthe general manager here,

and also a good friendfrom high school.

Charlotte, I'm thrilledyou chose us.

Me too.

But it was all Ruby.

She researched everywedding venue

within a hundred-mile radius.

Well, I'm glad she's puttingthose investigative skills

to good use.

Even in high school, Ruby wasin the know about everything.

That's our little overachiever,right there.

Dad...

[laughing]

Come on, let's get youall checked in.

Oh, Derek, have you seen SugarAlbert around, by any chance?

I know she's arrived, um,I'll find her for you ASAP.

Thank you.

Well, there she is.

The grand dame of baking.

Bonnie Herring as I liveand breathe.

Oh, it's so good to see you,Sugar.

I'm sorry, I've just been...

It's been crazy at work.

Oh, don't be silly.

We're just so happyfor your success.

And besides, with an old friendlike you,

it's like no timehas passed at all.

[laughs]

Sugar was in my bridal party,you know.

Oh.

Well, I'll leave you ladiesto get reacquainted.

Thank you, Derek.

You two know each other?

We almost worked together,

but it wasn't meant to be,though.

Enjoy, ladies.

Now, look at these beauties,Ruby and Charlotte.

That's right, yeah.

And, is this Charlotte'swedding cake?

Mmm.

Ooh, it's beautiful.

Only the best for you, dear.

I never had kids of my ownto bake for, so...

this is a labour of love.

Oh, pardon my manners.

This is my niece,Megan Montrose.

Megan is a baker by trade,

but I showed her the ropesat the company,

and it turns out she hasa real knack for business.

I'll be running the boothall week.

You should come by whenwe're handing out samples.

Oh, yeah.

Oh, we'd love to.

But first, dinner tonightwith you and Sam.

Sam won't be arrivingtill tomorrow morning,

but I would love to come.

Great, well, we'll seeyou tonight.

Mmhmm.

Seven o'clock?

Okay.

We'll see you at dinner.

I'd like to propose a little toast.

As a 30-year veterancrime reporter,

I know every copon the force.

And there was a time whenI was ready to have anyone

who got near my daughtersarrested.

[laughs]

But, when I saw the way Kevintreated Charlotte with kindness,

respect, and love...

Good job Mom and Dad...

I knew I wouldn't have to bringin the cavalry.

[laughing]

Kevin, Charlotte,

wishing you happinessall your days together.

Thank you, Dad.

I may be teaching journalism,

but remember, I still got theChief of Police on speed dial.

[all laughing]

Noted.

Kevin and Charlotte.

[glasses clink]

I just love your family.

Yeah, we're very lucky.

And thank you for always beingso sweet to my mom.

Oh, well I could saythe same about her.

You know that she was theinspiration for Sugar and Sam?

Mom?

[laughs]

It's true.

What?

At our reunion, she said shewished she was a better baker,

and I said, anyone can masterthe most complicated recipes

if they have the bestingredients

and the right measurements.

Yeah.

I can't believe you came up withthat idea from one conversation.

Sometimes big thingscome from little moments.

Now, if you'll excuse me,I need to use the restroom.

And I want to hear all aboutyour TV career when I get back.

You're so sweet.

What a doll.

She loves you.

I'm so glad we gotto connect.

Why do you have to be like this?!

I won't let you ruin this!

And Dad was probably seriousabout arresting

at least one of yourex-boyfriends.

[laughs]

Don't you threaten me!

Oh...

Sorry about that.

Don't be sorry,are you okay?

Oh, I'm fine.

It's just business.

Listen, I'm a little tired.

Would you mind ifI left dinner early?

Not at all.

And it was really specialhearing stories

about you and Mom, Sugar.

Call me Verna.

That's my real name.

Well, have a good night,Verna.

Oh, trust me, I will.

It's the only time I sleeplike a baby.

Out here in the freshmountain air.

Bye.

Buh-bye.

That was weird.

Hmm.

Oh, wait, here, hold this.

I come bearing the giftof fitness.

Cool.

Mmhmm.

I've always wantedone of these.

Now you can countyour steps.

Does it count your blessings,too?

Cause today feels pretty greatwith you here,

and Mom and Dad.

I can't believe I'm gettingmarried in five days.

Promise me we'll always bethis close,

even after you're married?

Always.

Race you.

[sighs] It's breathtakingup here.

Sugar was right.

We take for granted livingso close to the mountains.

Listen, it's peace and quiet,just nature and us.

[terrified screams] Somebody help!

Do you hear that?

[screaming]

It's coming from down there.

Come on.

This way!

Hang on, we're coming!

Help!!! Somebody help!

It's Megan.

Help, it's Sugar,help me!

Charlotte, call 911.

Help, it's Sugar, help me!

Help!

(Operator) 911, what's your emergency?

I need help.

A... a woman is drowning.

Help! Help!!

She's trapped!

I'm at the... at the creek,at, uh, Clear Mountain.

Ruby, come on, pull!

[groans]

Below the cliff.

At... at Sunrise Point.

[straining]

Come on Sugar, please!

She's trapped under a log.

She's... she's in the water.

[straining]

Okay, this way.

My sister is tryingto pull her out.

Okay, I got her!

I got her!

Flip her!

Oh, my gosh, Sugar!

[sobbing]

Come on, Sugar!

Come on, Sugar!!

Stay with me,stay with me!

Her name is Sugar Albert.

They're doing CPR now,please hurry.

Please come back to me,please!

Please, come back to me,Sugar! Please!

Please. It's not working!

It's not working!She's not breathing!

Help me!

It's okay. Take a break!Take a break!

Sugar, please, please,please come back!

She's not breathing!

Come on, Sugar.

Come on!

[sobbing]

So, how long were youout here hiking for?

Um... An hour, about.

Sugar wanted to go takea selfie

up at Sunrise Pointfor our website.

Did you go with her?

No, I had to go backto the baking convention.

What time?

Um, around 7:00?

How'd you know to come back,that she was in trouble?

Excuse me?And you are?

Detective Jake Killian.Seattle Homicide.

Homicide?

Yeah, it's standard protocolfor an unattended death.

So, how'd you know she wasin trouble?

Well, I was walking back, andthen I heard this faint scream,

and I turned around and Istarted running towards it,

and it got louder and louder,and then it just stopped.

And it took me a coupleof minutes,

but then I saw her.

Sugar, she was trappedunder a log in the creek.

And how was she trapped?

Her body was jammedbetween the rocks and the log.

Oh, you were here too?

Yeah, I helped try to pullher out.

My sister and I werehiking nearby.

Any idea how she gotin the creek?

She could have fallen.

It rained overnight,gets real slippery.

The current could've carried heruntil she hit the log.

Could she swim, Megan?

Yeah.

Maybe she hit her headon the way down.

Yeah, that's possible.

I should have neverlet her go.

You did everything you could.

Okay, thanks everyone.

Did... did we get their contactinformation?

All right, we'll be in touch,okay.

I can't believe she's gone.

You need anything,anything at all, okay,

you just call us.

Thank you.

Now get some rest.

Okay to bag up the body?

Not yet.

I called the M.E.

Really?

Falls happen all the timearound these parts.

My money is on an accidentaldrowning.

Excuse me, I just got the call.

Is that my wife?

You Sam Albert?

Yeah.

I'm terribly sorry, sir.

What happened?

We think she slipped and felloff the cliff up there.

Uh, we're still investigating.

Where are you...

Where are you taking her?

Oh, she'll be taken to themorgue when we're done here.

The morgue?

But if it was an accident, sheshould go to the funeral home.

In cases like this, the M.E.has to do a full autopsy

before returning the bodyto the family.

Can I see her?

Yeah, of course.You wanna show this to him.

I'm gonna go backto the hotel.

Okay.

I know that look.

I'm sorry, but you sawher husband.

He acted like it wasa business deal.

And how would you reactif that happened to Kevin?

Not like that.

Exactly.

We should get back.

Tell Mom the news.

Yeah. Okay.

Hang on a second.

This is the point where

the officer said Sugarcould've fallen from.

Look, do you see that?

Doesn't that look likefreshly broken branches?

And that area right there,it looks...

it looks like it'sbeen disturbed.

Here, hold this.

And the sign's crooked,too.

[camera shutter snaps]

Hey, look.

Do you see that lens?

I think that popped out ofsomeone's glasses.

[camera shutter snaps]

That would be a scary fall.

Ruby, you're scaring me.What's going on?

I need to talk to Dad.

I'm not sure this isan accident.

I can't believe Sugar's dead.

It's obvious how much you cared for her, Mom.

We're so sorry.

Would you like some tea?

I know.

You need to talk?

[sighs]

-Yeah.-Come on.

Something feels off.

And there was a homicidedetective at the scene.

You don't think Sugar's deathwas an accident?

Right.

It may be, I don't know, I don'thave half your instincts.

No, no, no.

Don't sell yourself short.

Let's just talk it through.Talk to me.

All right, just tell mewhat's bothering you.

Well, the detective at the sceneautomatically assumed

that Sugar fell off the cliffand drowned.

Okay.

But I got a good look at herbody when I was doing CPR.

It was pristine,not a scratch.

That's odd.

Right?

Yup.

Look at these photos I tookat the scene.

If she fell down that cliff,

she would've hit the rocky slopeon the way down.

And she would've hadvisible injuries.

I don't think she fell.

All right, can you prove it?

Well, look, see that?

Looks like there could'vebeen a fight.

I mean, maybe someone triedto push Sugar,

and she got away.

And they chased her downto the creek,

and... and drowned her.

Right.

And there's more.

More?

Sugar's husband, Sam,showed up at the creek,

and he seemed completelydetached,

unemotional for someonewhose wife just died.

That's strange.

Dad, what should I do?

You need to followthat Herring hunch.

You have always had a knackfor digging deeper

on your consumer investigations,right?

So, you could just dig deeperon this.

I'll start running testsright away.

Sure.

Ruby?

Tommy.

I'm sorry, I didn't meanto interrupt.

What are you doing here?

You two know each other?

Not really.

We just met.

Yup.

Someone going to tell mewhat's going on?

This is one of my witnesses.

Witnesses?

Yeah, I was at the scene todayon the mountain.

Charlotte and I were hiking.

Sugar Albert was one ofmy mom's good friends.

Oh. Sorry, Ruby.

I forgot that's whereCharlotte's wedding is

this weekend.

This has us all really rattled.

Well, I'm sure Jake will getto the bottom of it.

He just transferredfrom New York.

Actually, I'm from Seattleoriginally.

Ruby's an investigative consumerreporter from Channel 57.

"News we can use."

Her dad John's my godfather.

John and my dad,they're best friends.

Oh, small world.

Sure is.

So, Ruby, how can I help?

I haven't startedthe autopsy yet.

Maybe we should talk later.

Well, if it's about the case,speak openly.

Well, I'm... I'm worried Sugar'sdeath might not be an accident.

Ruby... what was yourlast name again?

Herring.

Ruby Herring.

As in "red herring?"

Hmm, it's cute.

Is it cute if a killer walks?

Cause I think I saw some thingsthat could be evidence.

Don't you have a weddingto go to?

I'm fine.

Maybe you two should move thisto my office.

(whispers) I don't like tensionin front of the victims.

Of course.

I'll get startedon those x-rays.

Thank you.

I'll show you whereTommy's office is.

I noticed the same thingabout the lack of injuries,

but I'm not ready to callthis a murder.

What if I told you Sugarwas threatened last night?

I heard her on the phonearguing with someone.

And you saw her husbandat the scene.

He was cold as ice,barking out questions.

Okay guys, let's seewhat these bones can tell us.

Yeah, how about we do thisin private?

[clears throat]

Off the record, right Ruby?

Absolutely.

You can trust her.

Fine.

But against my better judgment.

Good, so nothingbroken here.

Nothing here either.

No obvious head trauma.

I'll look closer later, but Idon't see any major injuries.

Also, didn't find any cutsexcept for

where she was caughtunder the log.

So, does this mean she didn'tfall off the cliff?

Definitely raises doubt.

I would expect to see traumato the body

based on how you describedthe height and the terrain.

Let's take a look at her lungs.

Now we got something.

You see that?

Pulmonary edema.

Fluid in the lungs.

She likely drowned.

Or someone drowned her.

We still have to run a lot moretests to be sure,

but I think there's enough hereto call this a suspicious death.

Alrighty, then.

I'll get started ona full autopsy.

(Both) Good.

Can I get a commenton the record?

Not yet.

And I'd appreciate you don'treport on anything

you saw here today.

If the public thinksit's an accident,

then the killerwon't see me coming.

Hmm, can't promise anything.

Thank you for your time,Tommy.

I'll see you at the wedding.

Got my dancing shoesall ready.

Save me a dance.

[sighs]

Any advice on how to get herto back off?

Not really.

[laughs]

You don't know Ruby.

A woman is dead.

The police think that she could've been murdered.

This New York City detectivecan't tell us how

to do our jobs.

He's actually from Seattle.

What's his name?

Jake Killian.

Hmm, sounds handsome.What's he like?

What is this,the dating game?

I know that he's not happywith me poking my nose

where he thinksit doesn't belong.

Hmm.

How do you feel about helpingCraig out on crime beat?

You know since you have an inon the story.

I don't know, this is my mom'sfriend we're talking about,

and I have to get backto Charlotte.

Oh, come on, Ruby.

The baking event is at the samehotel as the wedding.

There could be suspects,witnesses,

right under your nose.

The nose that doesn't belong.

This is your mom's good friend,Ruby.

Okay.

Yeah, okay, I'll help.

Great.

I'll let Craig know.

Ruby, is there any more news?

Tommy thinks Sugar drowned,

and there's no easy wayto tell you this, Mom,

but the detective doesn't thinkit was an accident.

What?

You mean she was murdered?

Right now he's calling itsuspicious,

but Tommy's doing an autopsy.

Who would do this to her?

Do they think the killer's hereat the hotel?

And what about Sugar's niece?

She was at the scene.

Megan? No, she triedto save her.

I think it... could bethe husband.

Mom, how well do you know Sam?

Not well.

Uh, Sugar met him after college.

Uh, Frank wants me to do someinvestigating here at the hotel.

If you think it'll findSugar's killer,

then you should.

I'm always here if you wannajust talk things through.

If you... if you need it.

Thanks, Dad.

And Charlotte, I promise,as your Maid of Honour,

you always come first.

Hi, Herrings.

My condolences about Sugar.

I know you're all very close.

Thank you.

Uh, Derek.

The station wants me to lookinto the story.

I was wondering, uh,

I was going to head overto the baker's conference.

Maybe you could introduce meto the organizer?

Oh, of course.

Come with me.

Great, thanks.

Bye guys.

Bye.

Ellie, how you holding up?

Okay.

Our keynote speaker is dead.

Not exactly good for business.

Oh, uh, this is Ruby Herring,a friend of mine and Sugar's.

Oh, my condolences.

I recognize you,from TV, right?

That's me,Channel 57 News.

[cell phone dings]

Oh, I'm wantedat the front desk.

Uh, thanks, Derek.

So, what brings youto our event?

I'm actually staying here at thehotel for my sister's wedding.

I was just curious about it.

Okay. I'd be happyto show you around.

That'd be great.

Okay.

Some bakers have alreadydeveloped products

they're trying to sell.

Others have business ideas

and they're hoping to landan investor.

Sugar and Sam actuallygot their start here.

I didn't know that.

So, this happened at 7:00 AM,right?

Mmhmm.

All right.

Any other hikersin the area that...

that might've seen something?

It was early.

The only people around wereRuby and Charlotte.

Mmhmm.

Did Sugar have any enemiesthat you know of?

She was a tough business woman.

Wait...

Enemies?

What are you saying?

Oh, I'm just being thorough.

Poor girl.

If you'll excuse me, I'm goingto see how she's doing.

Thank you for your time,Ellie.

My pleasure.

Come back next year when thingsare back to normal.

Hi, Megan.

Hey.

Detective.

We seem to keep bumpinginto each other.

I'm beginning to thinkyou're following me.

How are you holding up?

Honestly? I'm numb.

This has been likea bad dream.

Well, thank youfor your time.

We'll be in touch, okay?

Can you tell mewhat's going on here?

Why does that detectivekeep asking me questions?

(quietly) Someone might've beenout to get Sugar.

Seriously? But why?

Everybody looked up to Sugar.

She wasn't just my aunt,Ruby.

She was my mentor.

I can only imagine how hardthis is for you.

Uh, you said that Sugartook selfies,

do you know if she posted themto the website?

No. But, um, she sent themto me

because I do the socialmedia stuff.

Do you still have them?

Yeah, I just shared themwith that detective.

Could I take a look?

Do you mind if I send theseto myself?

No problem.

Thanks.

Great.

May I have your attention,please?

I know we're all saddenedand shocked

by the passing of ourdear friend, Sugar Albert.

She was a visionary.

I have a quick notefrom her husband Sam here

that I'd like to share with you.

"I want to thank you foryour prayers and condolences.

"Sugar and I were notonly partners in business,

"but partners in life.

"We had a saying.

"A couple that bakes together,stays together."

[laughs mockingly]"Bakes together stays together."

That's ridiculous.

What do you mean?

Well.

I'm not one to gossip, but Sugarand Sam were all business.

That was a sham marriageif I ever saw one.

"...Hope to see you there."

Thank you.

I'm Ruby.

Ah, Marian Rabbel.Marian's Organic Bakery.

[laughs]

I was Sugar's mentor.

Taught her everythingshe knew about

the organic baking business.

Not that she was ever grateful.

She stole some ofmy best recipes.

So, you're the one behind allSugar and Sam's great recipes.

Well, I'm not one to brag,but yes.

Do you come to this conferenceevery year?

I do, yes.

It's nice to see whatthe competition is up to.

Well, hopefully it's notall work.

I mean, did you get a chanceto see the hiking trails?

They're spectacular.

Oh, no. I don't...

Marian?

Can we please talk,Nicole?

Talk to my lawyer.

[sighs]

Yikes, who was that?

Oh, another traitor.

Who knew bakerscould be so bitter?

[laughs]

Are you Ruby Herring?

The investigative reporter?

Yes.

I knew it, you have the mostbeautiful red hair.

Will you take a selfie with me?

Okay.

[shutter snaps]

I got my money backfrom a shady car repairman

because of you.

"News we can use."

Your timelines have a lot ofinconsistencies, Mr. Albert.

I'm telling you the truth.

Well, you told me you were inyour car still 20 minutes away

from the hotel when you gotthe news about your wife.

Yep, that sounds about right,yeah.

Yeah.

You see, the problem is,I've got your phone records.

You can't do that.

Well, you're on a joint planwith your wife, so...

yeah, I can.

And they tell me that your cellphone is pinging off a tower

near the hotel at that time,which means you weren't driving,

you were at the resort.

It was a frantic day.

Maybe I was closerthan I thought.

Tell me.

How's your marriage?

We had our ups and downslike every other couple.

But I loved Sugar.

Can you tell me about the fightyou had with her last night?

How do you know about that?

Just answer the question.

It was a business disagreement.

Hmm.

You, um, you ever gone hikingaround the trails in the hotel?

No, that was Sugar's thing.

Can you tell me whereyou're going with all of this,Detective?

The officer said thatit was an accident.

Yeah, well, that officerwas mistaken.

Do I need to get myselfa lawyer?

Well, have you done anythingwrong?

No.

I've answeredall your questions.

I'd like to go now.

You're free to go.

But don't go far.

Oh, and uh, with Sugar'sdeath... the business.

It's all yours now, right?

So, what are Kevin andthe groomsmen wearing

in their boutonnières?

White roses to complimentmy bouquet.

Great.

[phone rings]

Oh, it's Angela.

Give me a second.

Hi, Ange.

What's the latest on the case?

Well, I'm still suspiciousof the husband,

so I'm keeping an eye on him,but in the meantime,

I met someone today.

As in a date for the wedding?

No, Cupid.

You're just as bad as my sister.

A new suspect.

Do tell.

Okay, go online. Her name is Marian Rabbel.

R-A-B-B-E-L.

Okay.

She doesn't look like a killer.

Well, she's not wearing darkglasses and a hoodie,

but she's got a bite to her.

And she had a feudwith Sugar.

She posted something earlier,did you see it?

It's cryptic.

This one.

"Cut sugar out of your life.

You're better off without her."

What does that mean?

Is that a typo or evil subtlety?

I'd say the latter.

She said that Sugar's marriagewas a sham,

and maybe Sam and Sugarweren't even together.

So, you're back to thinkingthat the husband's a suspect?

I know, I know, this whole crimething is like a twisted game

of ping-pong.

I have an idea.

Okay?

Will you check out the accounting clerk's website for me,

make sure those two are even married?

And her real nameis Verna Albert.

I can see why she went with Sugar.

Good call, Ruby.

They filed for divorcenot too long ago.

Oh, but wait...

They withdrew their filing

and there are two differentaddresses listed.

Hmm, maybe Marian was right.

Ruby.

We need your opinion over hereon the bridesmaid bouquets.

Angela, I gotta run.

Let me know if you findanything else.

Like I said, Detective.It's policy.

Policy. Okay.

All I'm asking for is yoursurveillance video

from yesterday morning.

Simple.

If I have to get a warrant,I will,

and I can have officerscrawling all over this place.

I didn't say I wouldn'tgive it to you,

I told you I needed to clear itby corporate,

which I will do first thingin the morning.

You know, I'm gonna meet youguys in the restaurant.

Is that the detective?

He's cute.

Are you serious right now?

Yeah.

Gentlemen.

Looking gorgeous as ever,Ruby.

You know this guy?

You know this guy?

Yes, and yes.

Uh, is everything okay?

I was explaining companypolicy to the detective.

Call me the second you hearfrom corporate.

Ah, no taste at all.

Does that tactic ever workfor you?

I know what I'm doin'.

Can I talk to you for a second?

Yeah, I guess, since I haveno video to look at.

Great.

Look what Marian postedon her page.

Oh, sugar-free cookies.

Yeah, she definitely killed her.

You're not readingbetween the lines.

Between that and the mudon her shoes?

Do you know how many people hikearound this place?

Okay, then how about Sam?

Did you know that he and Sugarfiled for divorce,

and then later changedtheir mind?

I bet their company's wortha fortune.

$15 million.

A better motive than stealingcookie recipes.

Look, I gotta go.

Wait, can I show yousomething else?

It's important.

All right.

[clears throat]

I took photos at Sunrise Pointon the cliff's edge,

right after Sugar died.

Yeah, we took our photos too.

Okay, so then you sawthe difference

between Sugar's selfies

and the photos taken laterat the exact same point?

Yeah, I'm meeting our cyber guyin the morning.

Okay, well, I'm no cyber expert,but look.

In Sugar's selfies takenat 6:28 AM at Sunrise Point,

the sign and the branchesare intact.

In my photos, taken at 8:32,

the sign is crooked andthe branches are broken.

Oh, and did you see the lenson the ground?

Yeah, we took it in for testing.

Well, does Sam wear glasses?

Have you brought him in yet?

I can't tell you that.

You did, didn't you?

He is a person of interest,and that's all we know.

And that's off the record.

Look, tough to step awayand let me do my job.

I think you're forgettingthis is my job.

Oh, well I thought you were"news we can use,"

"do your homework," "a littletime saves a lot of money."

You watched?

Yeah, I uh, I caught a couplesegments online.

We could work together,you know.

No, sorry. I only workfor Law Enforcement.

See you, Ruby.

[sighs]

Ouch.

Hi, Frank.

Ruby.

What do you got for me?

There's been a breakin the case,

but not to be reportedyet, okay?

Uh, let me hear what it is,first.

They're looking into Sam Albert,the husband.

Ha, it's always the husband.

Nice work.

Well, they're just lookinginto him for now.

I'll keep you posted.

(TV) There are new developments in the suspicious death

of Sugar Albert.

Albert died yesterday morningduring a hike near her hotel.

It was initially believed to bean accidental fall off a cliff.

But was later ruled to be a suspicious death.

Police are now looking at her husband,

and business partner,Sam Albert,

as a person of interest.

[chokes and coughs]

The big question now... was it murder?

This is Craig Powers, on the Crime Beat.

Hi, Ruby.

Oh, Ellie. Hi.

That was such a sweet noteyou read from Sam

at the baker's conferenceyesterday.

What a love story.

I can't imagine losing your bestfriend and business partner.

How is he doing?

Sam's doing just fine,despite a certain news report.

Yeah... How welldo you know Sam?

We're acquaintances.

How about that news report?

The mystery deepens.

Wait, Ellie, I just had...

So only a few days tillCharlotte's big day.

I'm sorry you have to doall of this.

I know, I should bein full wedding mode.

Hey, can I ask youa question?

Did Sam check in to the hotelthe morning that Sugar died?

As I told that pushy detective,

I can't disclose personalguest information.

Not even a friend ofthe guest?

Well, technically,since Sam isn't a guest,

I guess I can makean exception.

Wait, are you saying that Samdidn't check in?

Nope.

Sugar and Sam requestedadjoining rooms,

so he needed to check into get his own key.

Huh.

Do you think maybe I couldpossibly take a peek

at the surveillance videos?

I don't have a badge.

Plus, don't you want to knowwhat happened to Sugar?

Nothing like a good mysteryat the hotel.

Well... I supposeI owe you one

because you helped me passcalculus in senior year.

Hmm.

Lead the way.

Everything goes on the cloud.

Just click on the thumbnails

and you'll get times and locations on the property.

You're amazing.

Oh, by the way, you saidsomething in the kitchen

about Sugar the daywe arrived?

It didn't mean much then,but now...

Oh, my comment about

"not working with the granddame of baking?"

She was close to offeringme a job.

You know I have a degree in uh,food science, right?

How did I not know that?

It's true.

Well, at the very last minute,

she offered the jobto her niece.

Nepotism at its best.

I was surely more qualifiedfor the job,

but the two were so close.

I know she was a family friendof yours,

but her nickname wasSugar the Shrew.

Mm. Harsh.

All right, let's get to work.

We've got a lot of videoto get through.

Hmm-mm.

(Ruby) Wait, there he is, at 6:00 AM.

(Derek) What floor is that?

(Ruby) Looks like the first floor.

Uh, that's room 102,our largest suite.

Let me check the guest registry.

Ellie Bluth.

Ellie Bluth.

Well, let's see what timehe left the room.

Ah, he didn't leave againuntil 7:30.

Sugar died a little after 7:00.

That could clear him.

I'm not convinced.

I saw Ruby talking to a veryattractive police officer.

Any updates fromDetective Dreamy?

It's Detective Killian,and after this morning

I'm pretty sure he'll never talkto me again.

Frank ran the story about Sambeing a person of interest,

even though I asked him not to.

But this is becoming a reallybig story in town.

Not just here, it's beenon the news everywhere.

Yeah, even though Jake is stillcalling it a suspicious death.

It's like he's waiting for aconfession to fall on his lap.

Ruby, um...

I mean, he was a New YorkCity detective,

I can't imagine they workedat this pace there.

He's so stubborn.

Well, maybe he's just thorough.

Hi.

Standing here.

(flustered)Detective...

I... I was...

Mom, um, we have a meetingwith the pastry chef, remember?

Sorry man, he's makinga cake

in the shape of a golf course,so...

Detective, we could really usesome help filling these bags.

Oh. Um, okay.

Is she serious?

Oh, yeah.

Mom doesn't joke about hercandied almonds.

Oh.

[clears throat]

I'm sorry about this morning.

You know, maybe sinceyou don't cover crime,

I should tell you that"off the record" means

"not reportingcritical information."

Yes, I know what it means,

and I did ask my bossnot to run it.

I thought you werethe reporter on this.

Don't you have any say?

No. Remember, I'ma consumer reporter.

Yeah, I'm only helpingout on this

because I was at the sceneof the crime,

and because Sugar's a friend.

I didn't ask for this story.Literally stumbled onto it.

Crime is my dad's thing.

Yeah, he's quite the legend backin the department.

Yeah, he had a real knackfor it.

And the detectivesrespected him.

Seemed like uh, it'd bea natural fit for you

to cover crime too, no?

I never wanted to be comparedto my dad.

To be honest, I was afraidI'd let people down

if I didn't live upto his reputation.

And most importantly, I didn'twant to let him down.

Yeah, and I don't want to letmy chief down.

Sugar's a big name in this town,

and it's my first casein Seattle.

I'm, uh, glad I could help outwith the wedding prep,

but I've gotta go see ahighfalutin manager about,

uh, these security videos.

Um, yeah, about that.

I kind of already saw 'em.

I knew you were gonnasay that.

Get this.

Sam was already in the hotelthe morning that Sugar died.

He was walkinginto a room at 6:00 AM.

Okay, well, I guess thatexplains why his cellphone

was pinging off local towers.

You know the room?

Ellie Bluth.

Oh.

Baking fair organizer, huh?

I wonder why he wentto her room so early.

Well, whatever the reason was,

Sugar was murderedaround 7:00 AM,

so Sam couldn't have killed herif he was with Ellie.

It was room 102.The ground floor.

They have patios, so theycould've both slipped out.

Exactly.

Right.

And Ellie's still here,so we could go talk to her.

We?

[laughs]

Ruby, I got this.

But I know her.

Okay, how about I give youthe exclusive

when I'm ready to make the storypublic, okay?

Okay.

Ruby, there's a problem.

[sighs]

He came down with the flu.

I'm so sorry.

Oh, I'll start callingall the bakeries.

This wedding is cursed.

No, no, no.

Don't say that, dear.

Hi ladies.

Just here to pick upall my baking tools.

I'm headed home today.

Is everything okay?

We don't have anyone to bakeCharlotte's cake.

Oh, I could do it.

You have so much going onright now.

Oh, we could never ask youto do that.

It would actually really help metake my mind off things.

I haven't slept in days,and this has been really hard.

Oh, you poor thing.

Are you sure?

I'd be honoured.

I could use Sugar's sketch.

[knocking]

Ellie Bluth?

Can I help you?

Yeah, Detective Killian.

Seattle PD.

I need to ask you some questionsabout Sugar Albert's death.

Well, I really don't knowanything.

Why was Sam Albert in your roomthe morning she died?

[uncomfortably]Um, he came by to go over

some last-minute arrangementsfor the conference.

At 6:00 AM in the morning?

We had a lot to do.

That was the first day.

I know you're insinuating thatSam could've had something

to do with Sugar's death,but he was here with me.

The whole time.

I really have to go now,Detective. Um...

Sam? Where are you?

Call me.

[sighs]

Oh, hi, Ellie.

Ruby.

You seem to pop up a lot.

I just had a few questionsfor you.

So now you're playing bridesmaidand detective?

I'm just trying to find outthe truth.

My mom can barely focus on mysister's wedding she's so upset,

but thank you for your time.

Wait.

If you want to know who reallyhad it out for Sugar,

talk to Marian Rabbel,the baker.

There was bad bloodbetween those two.

I know that Sugarstole some recipes,

but was there more to it?

A lot more.

Marian was the first to havean organic bakery in the area.

She was Sugar's mentorbefore she left

to start her own business.

Not only did Sugar becomethe main competitor,

but Sugar and Sam kept gettingbigger and bigger.

Marian didn't like it.

She didn't take it very well.

Enough to kill her?

Truth be told, she does havequite the temper.

You should talk to herpartner of hers,

Nicole Wellworth.

Actually, soon to beformer partner.

They're trying to sellthe business and part ways.

Can I ask you justone more question?

Do you know why Sam andSugar called off their divorce?

I think I've told you enough.

[rain patters]

Uh, Detective.

Detective.

I just talked to Ellie.

Of course you did.

She said that we should belooking into Marian Rabbel.

To divert attention awayfrom her and Sam.

She's already sayingthey're each other's alibis.

So, are you gonna bringSam in again?

He lawyered up.

What about the autopsy?Is it done?

Bye, Ruby.

[rain patters]

[phone rings]

Tommy Madden.

Tommy, it's Ruby.

What's the latestwith Sugar's autopsy?

Off the record,right Ruby?

Detective Killianwill have my head.

Yes, of course.

I'm expecting the lastof my tests back today.

In the meantime,after you left,

some post-mortem bruising appeared.

I found a foot-sized bruise on her back.

Really?

What do you think it means?

Well, she was either kicked orforcibly pushed down by someone.

So now can you officiallycall it murder?

I'll have my final rulingby the end of the day.

Okay, I'll see you later.

I'm on my way to check outa lead.

[knocking]

Nicole?

Hi, I'm Ruby Herringwith Channel 57 news.

I saw you at the baker'sconference yesterday?

How can I help you?

I just wanted to ask you afew questions about Marian.

I can't talk about her.

We're in the middleof some legal stuff.

It's about Sugar Albert's death.

What about it?

I heard Marian had somepretty big issues with Sugar.

Just looking into some motivesfor the news.

Wait, you think Mariancould've done this?

I didn't say that.

How do you take your coffee?

Mmm.

It's delicious.

Hm.

I'll talk to you about Marian.

But not on TV.

So, um, how longdid you know Marian?

She brought me in as a partnera few years ago.

Mmm.

I think this is the bestmarble cake I've ever had.

I can see why Marian wantedto go into business with you.

It's a secret family recipe.

Mmm.

But the businessisn't doing so well?

We started losing moneyafter I signed on.

The bakery was emptyhalf the time.

Couldn't competewith Sugar and Sam.

Their flagship store

became a real touristdestination in Seattle.

Anyway, Marian startedcutting corners behind my back.

Using cheap ingredients.

We were supposedto be all-organic.

Did anyone else knowabout this?

A supplier told Sugar,

and that's whereit gets complicated.

Marian was in the middleof suing Sugar

for stealing her recipes.

So, when Sugar foundout Marian's secret,

she used that against her.

As in, "drop the lawsuitor be exposed."

Yes.

Sugar was going to destroyMarian's reputation,

and mine too since I washalf owner of the bakery.

So, what's it like to workwith Marian?

Oh, that woman has a temper.

What, is she violent?

She'll throw a few thingsin the kitchen.

But if you're asking ifshe could murder someone?

I find that hard to believe.

You've reached the voicemail of Detective Killian,

Seattle PD Homicide.

Leave a message.

Detective, it' s Ruby.

I know you're not interestedin the cookie lady,

but I learned some pretty crazystuff about her feud with Sugar.

I'm headed to her bakery now.

[door bells jingle]

Hello?

Hello?

Hello, anyone here?

Who said you couldcome back here?

Marian, you scared me.

Are you here as a customeror a reporter?

Both.

I'd be happyto buy something.

All organic, right?

What's that supposedto mean?

Just curious if it's stillan organic bakery.

I heard that you've been lookinginto me.

You better stay outof my business, Red.

Word is, Sugar heardabout your choice ingredients

and threatened to expose you.

Sugar was a horrible person.

Is that what you were talkingto her about on the trail

the morning Sugar died?

I wouldn't blame youif you got mad.

Saw the mud on your shoes,just a guess.

Look what you made me do.

[door bells jingle]

Ruby? You there?

Yeah, in the kitchen.

Where'd she go?

She went that way.

[camera shutter snaps]

Marian Rabbel, Ineed you to stop.

No, leave me alone.

Detective Killian.

Homicide.

I need to ask you a couple ofquestions down at the station.

Why? I've done nothing wrong.

Well then, you have nothingto worry about.

Fine, but I haveto lock up first.

Good thing I was hereto rescue you,

could've had a dough-ingon our hands.

[laughs]

Is that the bestyou can do?

"A dough-ing?"

And this damselwas not in distress,

I had it covered.

Well, I'm uh, taking her into question her.

Good. And I think I shouldbe there.

You spooked the suspect,

she might not give usanything anymore.

And I gotta spend the nightwith the cookie lady,

and not at my poker gamewhere I should be.

Well, I wouldn't want a goodlead to get in the way

of your full house.

You do realize I should bewith my sister right now,

who's getting married.

What's stopping you?

Justice.

Listen, I talked to Marian'sbusiness partner.

You're gonna want to hearwhat she had to say.

Okay.

And look what I just got.

Tommy told you aboutthe footprint on the body, huh?

All right, at the station,you need to be quiet,

like a ghost, okay?

Got it.

[sirens wail]

Hey.

Ready?

Yeah.

So, uh, I got her inthe interrogation room,

I'm just aboutto interview her.

But you can't come.

[exasperated]Of course.

Okay?

Oh, and make sure you ask herabout Sugar's threats.

All right, I will.

Stay here.

Got it.

Okay.

[sighs]

So where were you the morningSugar died?

I was at the hotel forthe baking conference.

Sugar wouldn't take any of my calls,

so I had to wait for the chanceto be alone with her.

I got up real early 'causeI know she likes

to watch the sun rise when she's at the resort.

This was about Sugar's threats?

That reporter ladyhas a big mouth.

I planned on telling Sugar that I was dropping the lawsuit

and selling the bakery.

I figured I could keepmy reputation intact

if she'd back offon exposing me.

Did you find her that morning?

Yes, by the trailhead.

She wouldn't hear me out,though.

Said she was meeting someone togo hiking and didn't have time.

Did anyone see you together?

I don't know, but you haveto believe me.

The only thing sweet aboutthat woman was her fake name.

But I didn't kill her.

Then why'd you run awayfrom me at the bakery?

Red was making me feellike a suspect.

Thought you might be a cop.

Could I please getsome water?

It is hot in here.

Sure.

Be right back.

Caught a glimpse.

Yeah.

I'm starting to wonderif she's innocent.

I'm starting to wonderif she's guilty.

She has motive, her businessreputation are at stake,

and she was with Sugarthat morning.

Yeah, but you saw her limpback at the bakery.

How could she chase Sugardown and drown her?

Hmm, people want someone dead,they find a way.

[phone beeps]

(Both) Oh, it's Tommy.

So, what are you gonna dowith her?

Uh, keep her in there.

Let her, uh,bake a little.

Hmm, I would hate to beon your bad side.

Who says you're not already?

Tommy.

Shouldn't you bewith Charlotte?

The wedding's in three days.

I'm taking her for drinks laterwith the bridal party.

So, what'd you find?

Well, pending a coupletoxicology reports,

the autopsy's done.

(Both) And?

What's with you guys?

After excluding all othermanners of death,

it's my official ruling thatSugar or Verna Albert, drowned.

No surprise there.

Yes, but I foundsome other things

that are quite intriguing.

The vic had a high level ofdiphenhydramine in her system.

What is that?

Sleeping pills.

Oh, that's odd.

She said she sleeps like a babyin the fresh mountain air.

Well, it's odd, all right.

She had double the recommendeddosage.

Not to mention, the levelnever should have been

that high first thingin the morning.

Can you tell whenthe drug was ingested?

I can't pinpoint it,but given the high level

and the fact that she was stillable to hike on a mountain,

best guess... within an hourbefore she died.

Maybe the killer put itin her breakfast.

Or in her water bottle, soshe'd be groggy for the hike.

It would make it easier to drownher that way.

Exactly.

Hmm.

How about the bruisingon her back,

you said it looked likea shoe print.

Any idea what kind of shoe?

Given the tread markings,probably a running shoe.

Remember, Marian had mud onher tennis shoe that morning.

Yeah, still could've been Sam,though.

It's a clue to be sure, butI have an even bigger one.

I found skin cellsunder her fingernail.

I sent a sample to the lab.

Turns out it's not Sugar's DNA.

Hmm.

We get a match and we mighthave our killer.

It's a good thing,

'cause I'm listing SugarAlbert's manner of deathas homicide.

[sighs]

So, what do we do next?

Well now, the police, as in me,continue to investigate.

We need DNA samples fromeveryone involved in this case.

Do you think they'll give themto you willingly?

Well, I hope so.

Getting warrants is gonnabe tough.

Someone dies on a quietmountain,

you've got a circumstantial caseat best.

Can I ask you for a favour?

Sure.

I really need you to holdthis story.

The killer doesn't knowany of this,

and remember, you get theexclusive when I make an arrest.

I'm a vault.

'Kay.

Wait, aren't youforgetting something?

What?

Your suspect asked for water.

(Both) DNA.

Where was the water cooler,Portland?

[laughs]

Sorry. Police business.

[clears throat]

Well, you're free to go now,but, um, don't go far, okay?

You're not going to interrogateme underneath the hot lights?

[laughs]

We'll save it for the cop show.

Can you send this to the lab,please?

Thank you.

That was easy.

Yeah, yeah.

I wish I could say the samefor Sam Albert.

He's not too happywith me right now.

Well, maybe I could help.

I could pay him a visit,try and get some of his DNA.

No, I don't want you interferingwith a suspect

at a critical pointin the investigation.

Okay then.

I have a date with my sister.

Ellie Bluth.

Ellie, did you for...

Hi.

Hi Sam.

I'm Ruby Herring.

I wanted to come by and givemy condolences from the family.

John and Bonnie's daughter.

Yeah.

Well, thank you.

That's very nice, thank you.

You probably know I'm a reporterwith Channel 57.

Mmhmm.

I wanted to highlight some ofSugar's business accomplishments

for a story I'm doing.

You know, it's only beenthree days since she passed.

I... I don't think I'm readyfor that right now.

Wait, please, it'll only takea minute.

Sugar really meant a lotto my mom.

I want to learn moreabout her legacy.

Come in.

You know what, um,could I grab a water?

I'm just thirstyall of a sudden.

Sure.

Beautiful flowers, thank you.

Of course.

There you are.

Thanks.

You're welcome.

So, tell me.

What do you wantto know about Sugar?

Excuse me, could I use yourladies' room really quick?

Sure, uh, it's just, uh,down the hall on the right.

Okay, got it.

Thanks.

Hmm.

He'd probably miss this.

This I can work with.

Ruby, is everything okay?

You know what, I completelylost track of time.

I forgot I have an appointmentthat I'm going to be late for.

Could I come back another time?

Sure.

That'd be great, thanks.

Okay.

Can I ask you a personalquestion?

Well, I guess it dependswhat it is.

Are you in a relationshipwith Ellie Bluth?

You weren't kiddingabout personal, were ya?

Look, my marriage to Sugar endeda long time ago.

The romantic side.

Ellie and I are old friends,

we were discussing what to do

about a critical and privatebusiness decision that morning

in the suite.

So, you called off the divorcebecause of business.

Yes.

You should tellthe police that.

[laughs]

No.

That'd only make things worse,give them an even bigger motive.

I mean, you just, you watchthose crime shows,

the husband's always guilty.

I really am sorry about Sugar.

Thank you.

[sighs]

[gasps]

Oh, my goodness! You scared mehalf to death.

What did you not understandabout not coming here?

What, I'm not allowed to paycondolences to my mom's friend?

And how'd you know I was here,anyway?

Well, apparently, my guy'sa fan of yours.

Oh.

Well, next time I'll be sureto wear a hat and dark glasses.

Speaking of, did you knowthat Sam wears glasses?

All right, well,since you're here,

did you find anything else?

Yep.

Just call me Nancy Drew.

Bet you didn't knowshe was a redhead.

More like a strawberry blonde.

You read Nancy Drew too,didn't you?

I will neither confirm nor denythat I read Nancy Drew.

This is from his hairbrush,

and this might haveEllie's DNA on it.

Hmm.

Well, these are bothinadmissible in court,

and I could get in trouble if,uh,

my chief thinks I asked youto do this.

Yeah, but you didn't.

You have to use it.

At the very least to helpexclude or include Ellie and Sam

as suspects.

All right. I'll put a rushon it.

And, um, nice work.

Really?

Really.

Thank you.

I have to... go,I um, to meet

with the cake bakerand the caterer,

there's a whole listof things...

that I have to get done.

Oh, I know Sugar would've givenyou her stamp of approval.

It's beautiful, Megan.

And thank you for doing this

under such difficultcircumstances.

You know what,it's my pleasure.

I never knew how therapeutic itwould be to make a wedding cake.

Charlotte, let's go.

Would you mind if I asked youa couple questions about Sugar?

Anything to help.

Great.

Did you know that Sam and Sugarcalled off their divorce

because of the business?

Yeah.

You knew about that?

He mentioned it.

He also said something abouta "critical business decision"

the day that Sugar died?

He was probably talking aboutthe conglomerate

that wanted to buy Sugar and Samout for millions.

Wow.

Sugar wanted to sellbut Sam didn't.

Really.

Well, did she convince him?

She didn't have to.

Sugar owned 51 percentof the company.

Why didn't he want to sell?

I mean, that's a lot of money.

He loved running the company,

and he didn't really want abunch of strangers stepping in.

Besides, he thoughtif he held out,

he might take the businessto new heights.

What's gonna happenin the business now?

I... I haven't really foundthe right moment to ask, um.

Sam's been planning the funeralall week, so...

I'm sorry.

Ruby. Are they gonna catchwhoever did this?

I wish I had the answers.

We've gone really far, I thinkwe should turn back.

Not yet.

You've been really distracted,Ruby.

What's going on?

Well, I didn't wantto say anything,

since we're supposedto be relaxing,

but I'm looking for Sugar'swater bottle.

Tommy found sleeping pillsin her system,

we think she might'vebeen drugged.

Really?

Yeah.

The map says that the creek goesabout another three miles.

Three miles.

[sighs]

If you think it'll help.

You're the best.

I guess we should head back.

It's probably long gone.

Sorry.

It's okay.

Hey, what is that?

Can you hold this?

[gasps]

Oh, my goodness, Ruby.

You found it.

Yeah, maybe.

Jake?

What are you doing here?

Yeah, I just came to takea second look,

see if I missed anything.

You too, huh?

Oh, I don't thinkyou've formally met my sister.

This is Charlotte.

Hi.

Congratulationson your wedding.

Thank you.

There's a lot to do.

I'm gonna head backto the hotel,

um, are you okay here?

Yeah. I'll be right behind you.

Okay.

Nice to meet you.

You too.

I found this a couple milesdown the creek.

I think maybe the currentcould've carried it.

Could be Sugar's.

Well, thanks.

I'll, uh, I'll getit checked out.

Find anythingwith the DNA test?

No, no, not yet.

What about the eyeglass lens?

It turns out that's for someonewho's nearsighted.

Beyond that,couldn't tell us much.

Hmm.

[phone rings]

Sorry.

Uh, it's the lab.

Yeah, it's Killian.

Uh-huh.

Got it.

All right, thanks for puttinga rush on it.

So?

I can't tell you, Ruby.

Was it Sam?

No.

Marian?

[clears throat]

Oh my gosh, it was Marian,wasn't it?

Look, Ruby.

I appreciate everythingyou've done,

but your Nancy Drewmoment ends here.

Uh, whatever you think you know,just...

just put a lid on it untilI can bring her in, okay?

[bushes rustle]

Hello?

Hello, who's there?

Derek!

You scared me.

Don't look so surprised.Believe it or not, I hike.

So, how's the investigationgoing?

I'm not really workingon it anymore.

Hmm.

It's hard to believe that Sugarmet her demise on this mountain.

Yeah.

Well, better catch upwith my sister,

she's waiting for me.

Bye.

Bye.

We don't need to be playinggames here, Ms. Rabbel.

How do you explain your DNAunder her fingernail?

I tracked down a hiker,

a witness who saw you threatenSugar the morning she died.

It's not what you think.

When I saw Sugar that morning,she tried to get away.

I... I blocked her.

She stumbled and she grabbedmy arm for balance.

Her nail cut my skin.

I still have the scratch, see?

But she stumbled,and I fell with her.

I inflamed an old knee injury.

There was a running shoe imprinton her back,

size 9.

If I'm not mistaken,you're a size 9?

Yeah, me and millionsof other people.

You have motive, opportunityand means.

In light of the new evidence,

I'm placing youunder arrest for murder.

What?

Cuff her.

[clears throat]

Can I take my apron off?

No.

I love that colour.

[phone rings]

Hmm, it's Ange.It'll be quick, okay.

'Kay.

Hi Ange, what's up?

I just heard from a source at PDthat Marian Rabbel was arrested.

I can't keep this from Frank.

Can't keep whatfrom Frank?

Marian Rabbel was arrestedfor Sugar Albert's murder.

They have her DNA.

Ruby?

I promised Jake I wouldn't sayanything about the DNA.

I can't believe he didn'ttell me she was arrested...

Oh, so it's Jake now.

Are you still a reporter,or this Jake guy's new bestie?

I don't think Marian did it,

that woman is a straight shooterif I ever saw one.

Yeah, well, DNA doesn't lie.

Sorry, I'll call you tomorrow.

[sighs]

Well, that is a new recordfor the shortest career

in crime reporting ever.

At least someone'sbeen arrested.

Yeah, the wrong person.

You know what, I don't wantto talk about the case anymore,

I want to focus on you.

I have a surprise.

Oh, this is so sweet.

[laughs]

Look at you in front ofthe camera.

I was always so enviousthat you knew what you wanted

at such a young age.

You wanted to bea ballet dancer.

That was a kid's dream.

I ended up an accountant,played it safe.

But you also wanted to be a wifeand a mom,

and you're embarking on thatjourney right here

and right now.

I'm jealous you have yourpersonal life all figured out.

We're two halves,always have been.

I love you, Ruby.

I love you more.

I'm so rigging the bouquet toss.

You're so bad.

[laughs]

[sighs happily]

Is that Sugar?

Yeah, those are her selfiesshe took at Sunrise Point.

Wait, do you see that?

That speck in Sugar's glasses.

Looks like shoes.

Looks like pink running shoes.

She wasn't alone on that hill.

I... I need to find Dad.

Wow!

Did you talk to the detective about this?

He said my armchair sleuthingdays are over.

Pfft.

Just when I thought we werein this together,

he got pretty arrogant.

Well, detectives, they carrya lot of baggage.

But I think you shouldcall him.

Show him what you found.

But, I am afraid you're goingto have to let this go.

See you at dinner tonight,okay?

Thanks.

Love you.

[phone rings]

[sighs]

Killian.

Detective, I need to talkto you.

I guess you heard.

We got our arrest.

As promised, the interview'syours if you want it.

Yeah, about that...

Oh, please don't second-guessthis.

You've got the wrong person.

[sighs]

Marian makes sense.

The DA agrees, he reviewedall the evidence,

he wants to move forwardwith the murder charges.

Okay, just hear me out.

Take a look at the second selfe Sugar took.

Do you see the reflection in the photo?

Those are pink running shoes.

Yeah, and?

And Marian was wearingwhite running shoes.

Derek, the hotel managerwas wearing pink running shoes

when I saw him today.

Oh, well he does lookkiller in pink.

No, I'm being serious.

[sighs]

Well, case closed, then.

Look, Ruby.

Maybe the person in pinkwas just a hiker

who was there when Sugar wastaking the picture, you know?

It's a popular spot.

I'm sorry, I'm not buying it.

Did you notice that Marian wearsreading glasses?

The lens in the dirt belongsto somebody who's nearsighted.

When I was looking atsurveillance videos with Derek,

he took his glasses off.

He's nearsighted.

We don't even know if the lensbelonged to the killer.

Did you test the water bottle?

Did it have diphenhydraminein it?

[sighs]

Look, the water bottlewas found miles away

from the crime scene.

It could... it could beanybody's.

But you need to test it.

Look, Ruby.

I... I got paperwork to finish.Okay?

Enjoy the wedding.

[sighs]

Hey Ruby.

Hey, Megan.

Big day tomorrow, exciting.

Yeah.

You know, you should really trythat steam room,

it's so relaxingbefore all the mayhem.

Oh, I was just aboutto do a workout,

but maybe I'll go after.

I didn't knowyou wore glasses.

Only when my contactsare bugging me.

So, uh, what's next for you?

Actually, I have somegood news.

Really?

Sam decided not to sellthe company,

and he promoted me tovice-president after all.

Oh wow, that's wonderful.

I know.

Do you like yourfitness tracker?

Cause I have the same one.

I can't live without it.

10,000 steps a day, minimum.

[to herself] Same water bottle,pink running shoes...

Do you use the heart ratefunction?

Sure do.

160 beats a minute, and I know I'm getting a solid workout.

[exhales]

Okay, well, see you later.

Yeah.

Bye Ruby.

Bye.

Did you watch the report

I did the other dayon fitness trackers?

Oh Ruby, we nevermiss your segments.

Well, this is Megan's tracker.

I swapped hers with mine.

Oh yeah, good thinking.

Now we can see what wasreally going on

with Megan on the trailthe morning Sugar died.

Might tell us if somethinggot her heart rate up.

Like murder.

Very clever.

Okay, so Megan saidthat she found Sugar at 7:00

on Tuesday morning.

Look at the patternof Megan's heart rate.

At 6:30 AM it spikesto 160 beats per minute,

and at 6:40 it dropsto 60 beats per minute,

and that lasts for 20 minutesuntil 7:00,

when her pulse shoots back upto 160,

the time that she claimedshe tried to save Sugar.

Wait, I don't understandone bit of this.

Well, Megan said that shewas walking back to the hotel.

If that's true, then whywould her heart rate spike

and then drop for 20 minutes,and then spike again.

Well, if she hadjust committed murder,

wouldn't her heart continueto race?

Yeah, but this was premeditated.

I mean, Megan knewwhat she was doing.

What do you think, Dad?

That's a good point.

I mean I've done plenty ofstories on sociopathic killers

who are as cool as cucumbersafter committing murder.

Okay, then what was Megandoing during the time

that her heart rate dropped?

Well, I think Megan triedto push Sugar off the cliff,

but Sugar fought back,

so Megan chased her downto the creek and drowned her.

Then she waited 20 minutes,

before calling for helpto make sure she was dead.

With Sugar gone, she's nowthe vice president.

She got everything she wanted.

I think you just solvedyour first murder.

[sighs]

Very proud of you, Ruby.

Thanks, Dad.

One thing I'm not sure ofis how this new technology

will hold up in court.

I think you need hard evidence.

Then, we set a trap.

Wow, it's a work of art, Megan.

Oh, I'm so glad you like it.

It really is beautiful.

Oh, did you hear there's beena break in Sugar's case?

Yes. Marian Rabbel.

I knew those two had issues,but murder?

Well, actually there'snew evidence

that cleared Marian's name.

Now they're looking for somebodywith pink running shoes.

Oh.

Wow, well..

I hope they find that person.

They think it's someone hereat the hotel.

Yeah.

Anyways, so much to do.

[laughs]

We'll check in later, Megan.

Okay.

Bye.

Angela, I'm positionedout front.

Okay, we are onthe hotel's cloud.

I can see you, John.

Great, and we're out back.

I got you too, Ruby.

[elevator dings]

Guys, Megan just got offthe elevator,

she's heading towardsthe back entrance.

She's headed back in.

Angela, can you seewhere she's going?

I don't think she knows.

Oh no, the feed just cut.

Can you get it back?

I'm going in.

Be careful.

Derek.

Are you... going somewhere?

Have you seen Megan?

Uh yeah, she was headedtowards the kitchen.

Go find Dad!

Okay.

Megan, stop!

Ruby?

What's in the backpack?

Nothing.

Then show me.

No.

We know you killed Sugar.

[laughs]

That's crazy.

You acted like she wasyour saviour, but...

she was gonna sell the businessand leave you with nothing,

so you had to do something.

I know the pink shoesare in there.

You don't know whatyou're talking about.

Must have been so hard

when you found out Sugardidn't care about you.

She only cared aboutthe money.

Megan, it's over.

Okay... I am not going downfor this.

She always put on a happy,sweet face,

but she was ruthless.

Sugar only caredabout herself.

Why do you think I nicknamed herSugar the Shrew?

I gave that woman my heart and soul,

and so did Sam,

and then she pulled the rugout from underneath us.

Put the knife down, now!

Ahhhh!!!!

I gotcha.

I should have pushed you offthe cliff when I had a chance.

That was you in the bushes.

How'd you know to come?

Uh, your dad called me.

Nice to meet you, Detective.

Told you I'd call in the cavalryif anyone messed with my girls.

Dad...

On the way here, the lab calledme about the water bottle.

You tested it?

Yeah, it had diphenhydraminein it,

and the metal was ableto retain a print,

even in the water.

Who knew that shopliftingas a teenager

would come back to haunt you?

Huh?

You're under arrest forthe murder of Sugar Albert.

Megan Montrose will bearraigned Monday.

She faces first-degreemurder charges,

and if convicted,life in prison.
