Original subtitles

Katie, I was just comingto find you.

I can't believe I'm here!

About to co-host"Wake Up" with you?

I'm so excited.

You know, it's dad'sfavourite show,

mostly 'cause you're on it.

You're like the most famousperson he knows.

Says the womanwith her own show.

No, no, it's not my show,

it's- it's Hannah Kelso's show.

She's producing it.

I'm just- I'm justplaying her.

I'm pretty surethat still counts.

How is your dad?

Well, the doctors sayhe's doing great.

Keep your fingers crossed.

I will.

I got you a little something.

Oh, you did not haveto do that.

Oh... I love it.Thank you.

It's for luck.

There are so many excitingand important things happening

in your life and I thinkwe should celebrate them.

Are you okay?

Oh, yeah.

Yeah, everything's great.

Couldn't be better.

Why don't you come by therestaurant after the show?

I know Maurice and Cassandrawould love to see you.

That sounds perfect.

I have research for youfor tomorrow's show.

The etymology of the word"pancake" totally lead me down

a rabbit hole.

I know, it's just a cookingsegment on kid-friendly

breakfast options but there'sso much information out there

on pancakes alone.

Hi, I'm Lucy.

I heard you used to workat Blessings, that's so cool.

She was our best server.

Hey, I just did what you do,

make everyone whocomes into the restaurantfeel like family.

Billie is my mentor.

She's the one who taught methat hard work and passion

for what you lovemake anything possible.

Now, did I hear correctly

that the first episode of yournew show, Kelso's Law,

features a very furryguest star?

It does.

In the TV show I playreal life lawyer

and single mom, Hannah Kelso.

One of her most famous clients

was a red Irish setter named Rex.

It was called The MillionairePup Case.

Now, I read that the real Rexpassed recently.

Actually, our premier episodeis dedicated to him.

Aww.

I love that.

Now, Kelso's Law is based ona series of best-selling novels

set right here in Seattle,right?

They're written by localauthor Derek Kelso,

and are drawn from his momHannah's real-life law cases.

(Billie) For the record I've read all the books and they're wonderful.

Okay, now these cookiesshould turn out golden brown.

Woo, yeah.

And they're dog-friendly so,I don't know,

in case a four-legged guestmight wanna stop by,

like animal star, Lucky.

Aww, hey.

He plays the part of Rexon the show.

And this is very talentedanimal trainer, Brian Reynolds.

Hi.

Nice to meet you.

Ok, say thank you to the ladiesfor the treat.

Thanks Brian. I'm glad youenjoyed it, Lucky.

We'll be right back.

And we're out.

I don't know how you do that.

I was a nervous wreck.

You were great.

No one would ever know.

Thanks.

Yeah.

Hey, uh, Derek and I are goingout for a drink tonight

if you wanna join.

I'd love to but I promisedmy dad I'd stay in.

I've been so busy promotingthe show

that we haven't had anyfather-daughter time.

Well, if you change your mindit's trivia night at the pub.

Cool.

Hey, time for us to pop bythe restaurant to say hi

to Cassandra and Maurice.

Okay.

Okay.

See you later.

I cannot do an interview unlessI have been properly touched up.

What I wanna know is howI can be running late

for something that wasscheduled for tomorrow?

And they didn't even give me achance to open up my fan mail.

Right, Colin?

Right. I'm on fan mail duty andit's becoming a full-time job.

I can see that.

Good luck to you, Colin.

What's going on with you?

You don't look happy.

The interview that wewere supposed to doin studio tomorrow

with the author ofKelso's Law is nowa pre-taped interview

because he's too busywriting books to come in.

Did they say anythingabout me?

I think I'm supposed to bea part of that interview.

No.

But I guess maybeI'll see you there.

I'd offer you a ride butI'm already taking Lance

and his fan mail in the van.

I need to go in early in orderto prepare myself in the space.

Colin, come on.

See you guys tomorrow.

Bye, Colin.

Oh, it's Derek messaging meabout the interview changing.

Katie Sanders, you're definitelynot telling me something

because no one blushes like thatunless they have something

or someone to blush about.

I can't get anything by you.

Ok, yes, Derek and I...ugh, he's so wonderful.

He's smart and funny and-

Easy on the eyes?

That, too.

Ever since we first startedworking on the TV show together

he's become my best friend.

He's so wonderful.

Okay, that's two wonderfuls.

I think your mentor needsto take a look at this guy.

Why don't you come to theinterview after the restaurant?

I would love for youto meet him.

You couldn't stop meif you tried.

I want that little gold-diggergone now!

Derek's not doing any writing

because he's so busy spendinghis time texting her.

I'm working on it.

She is ruining my son's life.

Do you know that she has managedto worm her way

into the interview today?

Look, I came here to ask youto be reasonable.

I told you, I'm taking careof the gold-digging problem-

Jerry, I want you to make surethat Katie Sanders

is not in that interview,you got me?

How am I-

Would you get that please?

You pay me to investigate casesand clean up your messes.

I'm not your butler.

You know where the door is.

You think you can send nastyletters to my daughter

and get away with it?

I don't know whatyou're talking about.

Mr. Sanders.

That's enough.

You're out of line.

Go home.

I won't let you ruinKatie's happiness.

You or your henchmen.

You stop sending those lettersor you will be sorry.

That's enough.

I thought they knewwe were stopping by?

Oh, congratulations!

We wanted to make it a surprise,but it's hardly a surprise

when someone knocked over twostock pots because he wanted

to get out of the door first.

I was trying to be a gentlemanand open the door for you.

You were trying to getto the hugging first.

Look at you all grown up.

Hard to believe the kidwho didn't know a turnip

from a rutabaga is nowa big TV star.

Well, who knew memorizingall those daily specials

would help mewith my acting career?

They are the reason I am a proat learning my lines.

Let's have some cake.

Oh, Ian called.

He has something importanthe wants to talk to you about.

Oh, I'm sorry,we're not open yet.

I'm not here for dinner.

Katie, a word?

You're a good kid and you'vealways been nice to me,

so I'm returning the favour.

Right now, as we speak,Hannah is talking

to the other producers ofthe show about your contract.

She's trying to get themto fire you

so that she can re-cast the partand I think you know why.

I just thoughtyou should know.

If it was me I would just quit.

I'm not giving her thesatisfaction of firing me.

I'm sorry.

How did he know you wereat the restaurant?

Do you thinkhe's following you?

It's weird.

Ever since I started spendingmore time with Derek

it's like I'm underthe microscope.

Except with Hannah, she actslike I don't even exist.

She hates me.

No.

She does.

She's firing me even thoughshe knows

we're still paying offdad's medical bills.

There's no way we can do itwithout the TV show money.

Well, it's morethan just the money.

I know you love what you do,too.

Being on the show is likebeing part of a family.

I miss everyone so much.

And I love the part.

It would be unbearable to watchsomebody else play her.

You know, I knowwhat Jerry Patton said

but why would Hannahwant to replace

the lead actor in her show?

It doesn't make sense.

Hannah hates not beingin charge of Derek

so she's turning the otherproducer's against me.

With me gone she can have himall to herself again.

Hey, you know whatmy father used to say?

Even in the darkest of timesthere's always a spark of hope

waiting to light the way.

I like that.

Yeah, me too.

Now, I say you go to Hannah,extend an olive branch.

Explain to her how importantthis job is to you

and your family.

Ask her to findsome common ground.

Make her see your side.

You got this.

Hey.

So how's it going?

Don't ask.

I have these questionsthat I prepared

after hours of carefuland exhaustive research,

but when I got here someonehanded me these questions.

It is called "the art ofthe interview"

for a reason, people.

Yes, it isTriumphe de Autumn.

Now, officially I'm a summer

but I much preferthe autumnal perfumes.

Can I get a brush?

Derek.

Hey.

Hi.

It's like a real studio in here,isn't it?

Derek, it's my friend, Billie.

Billie Blessings.

I'm a huge fan.

And I have heard a lotabout you.

We were just talking aboutmaking a reservation

at your restaurant.

Well, Katie has an in so I'msure we can work something out.

Ms. Blessings.

Hannah Kelso.

Love your restaurant.

I had some of the most amazing,scrumptious gnocchi

that I would die to getthe recipe for.

Well, that is a secret knownonly to my chef.

Hmm.

I think I might actually be ableto get it out of him

if I really tried.

Can we get started?

Derek's time is very limited,he is currently writing the next

best-seller in our book series.

Mom-

I can brag, I am your motherand the books are best-sellers.

And, of course,the best part of all

is that they're all about me.

The editing... I know,but in the editing I want...

I understand, Philip.Thank you.

And you, handsome creature.

I see you got my pre-preparedquestions?

You see, I don't go to courtand I don't do any interviews

unless I already knowthe answers beforehand.

Well, I would... agree.

Well, yes.

Sorry to storm your placelike that.

You're Blessing's kid, right?

I was on the police forcethe same time as your dad

back in the day.

Oh.

She's a nice kid butshe should have known

that Derek was off-limits.

Mama bear, she can beextremely protective.

Now, Hannah,

is it strange seeing somebodyplaying yourself?

Saying the things that you said

and recreating situationsthat you lived through?

Well, I think... I thinkthe television show

captures the broad strokes of mylife but as for the character,

at least how she ison the show,

well, I like to think I'm alittle more nuanced than that.

Well said.

Well, thank you so much fortaking time out of your busy day

and speaking with us.

Lance, it was an absolutepleasure.

And that is a wrap.

I brought over some coffee andsandwiches if anyone's hungry.

Ah.

Hannah?

Hannah, may I speakwith you?

I don't have time to chatright now,

I'm late for a meetingwith the mayor.

I totally understand but Ireally need to talk to you.

Um, maybe sometime later todayor tonight?

Two minutes.

I would like to speak with youin private.

About what?

I just don't understandwhat I've done to upset you,

but I think it's unfair.

I need... my dad and I,we need-

I don't know what you wantbut I am late.

What's going on?

Well, I don't knowwhat she's talking about.

I know you don't like me,

but I want to be treatedwith respect.

Then you need to respect me.

And my son.

He's working, so stop gettingin our way or else I...

I don't know what I'll do.

Mom.

You can't speak to Katie that way.

(Hannah) Don't.

Mom!

You just killed any chanceyou had of changing her mind.

Phil's almost wrapped upin there.

I've got a key, I'll lock upwhen he's done.

I tried to make her morematernal in the books

but in real life she's just...not that way.

Yeah.

Sometimes the people we lovedon't always behave

the way we wish they would.

I really thought Katiecould be part of my life.

I didn't know falling in lovewasn't allowed.

And what about that guy,Jerry?

Does he just work for your mom,or-

Business only.

When she takes on a case,he does all the leg work,

digs up old records,interviews witnesses.

Stuff like that.

Hmm.

It was really nice to meet you,Billie.

Nice to meet you, too.

I just wanted to let you knowthat the first seating has begun

and you didn't eat any lunch.

Yeah, I got so busyI guess I forgot.

Well, that's why I'm here, soyou don't waste away to nothing.

How about you come eat thisin the kitchen?

Aunt Cassandra, I feel so badfor Katie.

I told her to confront Hannahand it blew up in her face.

Do you think it would bea mistake for me

to go over to Hannah Kelso'shouse and try to explain?

Don't you mean makethings worse?

Aunt Cassandra-

No. Just my two cents.

Nothing good ever camefrom meddling.

Unless we're talkingabout you and Ian.

Now what is going onwith you two?

If you don't mind me asking.

I don't know.

I guess we're waiting.

I'm waiting for him,he's waiting for me.

Well, you can considerthe waiting over

'cause he's in the dining room.

This has Aunt Cassandrawritten all over it.

Me?

Yes, you.

Ah-ah.

Hey!

Hey!

When Aunt Cassandra heardI hadn't eaten yet she...

Yeah.

She got you, too.

So I didn't just stop byfor the delicious meal.

I need to ask you something.

I'm hosting a dessertslumber party next weekend.

I mean, for Emmaand her four friends.

It's what she wantedfor her 10th birthday.

Wait- wait a minute.

Ian Jackson is hostinga dessert slumber party

for five little girls?

I don't believe it.

I am.

And what I'm tryingto ask you is...

I need your expertise helpwith the dessert part.

Well, desserts aremy speciality.

That's exactly what Emma said.

Okay, so what'rewe talking about?

Um, cupcakes?

Cake pops?

A hot fudge sundae bar?

Maybe a princess cake?

It's like you read my mind.

Now, uh, what exactly isa cake pop?

Whoo! Explaining cake popsto you,

that would be the highlightof my day.

Must have beena rough day then.

Yeah, I gave what I thoughtwas good advice to a friend

and it completely backfired.

Well, look.

I don't know what the advice wasbut one of the things

I love about you is how muchyou care about people.

Well, I better get going.

Right.

It's a school night for me.

Okay.

And I'm going to take careof my mistake.

Thanks.

Okay.

Goodnight.

Sure.

Ms. Kelso?Are you there?

Hello? Anybody here?

Hannah?

Jerry!

You sure you didn'trecognize him?

Nope, it was too dark.

Now just tell me that the personyou gave that bad advice to

wasn't Jerry Patton andI'll feel a lot better.

To answer your question

I did not give Jerry Pattonany advice.

Good.

I did give advice to someoneabout the person

living in this house.

As in Hannah Kelso?

Just got an update.

They're estimating the time ofdeath between 7:00 and 8:30 pm.

That's when Billie found him.

Any idea on the cause of death?

Nothing firm until they doa post-mortem

but there's a contusionon the back of the head

and he was definitely inthe water at some point.

It washed away the blood.

What about the brokensecurity lights in the yard?

Not broken, smashed.

Okay.

Let's canvas the place,

see if we can find anything elseout of the ordinary.

We'll treat it as a homicideuntil we're told otherwise.

Any eyes on the ownerof the house?

Nothing yet, we're trying to gether on her cell phone now.

Let's have somebody notifythe next of kin.

I'm on it.

I'm gonna walk Billie backto the car.

Be right back.

Look, as much as I love spendingtime with you,

I'd rather it not be atone of my crime scenes.

The last time you got tangled upin a murder I almost lost you.

I can't have that because-

Because you're a policeman andyour job is to protect people.

Exactly.

That, and you're the onlyone I know

that can do the flowerycupcake thing.

What's going on?

Where's my mom?

Is she alright?What-

We haven't been able to locateyour mother yet.

We were just driving backand saw all the lights.

Did someone break in?

This is my house!

What's happening?

Derek!

Mom!

What's going on?

Ms. Kelso, can I speakwith you inside?

Of course.

When was the last timeyou saw Jerry?

Here, in the house.

We were working.

Um, I wanted to go for a jogbefore it got too late

so he said he'd go for a walkon the beach

and then we'd finish upwhen I got back.

Is that normal?

What?

Working so late.

Yes.

I'm wrapping up a case.

I need to get some paperworkfiled for tomorrow.

Go on.

Before I left he had borroweda hoodie.

He was already outside.

I told him to be carefulbecause some teenagers...

that's what I suspect, anyway,

smashed all of my securitylights earlier this week.

Ms. Kelso?

The hoodie.

It was dark.

I mean, if anybody saw himthey would think it was me.

Hi.

Hi.

I just came by to see how thingswent with Ian last night.

Well, he asked for my help.

Oh, really?

He wants my expertise for Emma's10th birthday party.

Mmm.

Well, I'm sure I canoffer up Maurice,

he's great with dessert parties.

Wait, how do you know it wasa dessert party?

Oh, would you lookat the time?

I'm late for the farmer'smarket.

They're getting in a shipmentof organic strawberries

that has the restaurant's namewritten all over it.

Aunt Cassandra?

Didn't you tell me that nothinggood comes from meddling?

Oh, honey.

I'm not the onewho's meddling.

I need to talk to you.

Of course.

Hey, Katie?

We need you in makeup.

Right after the showwe'll talk.

I gotta go homeand walk Feathers.

Hm-mmm.

How's Billie holding upafter last night?

Maybe we can callthat new brunch dish

"French Toast a la Billie".

You know, help take her mind offfinding the you know what.

Hey, it's the thoughtthat counts.

Hello?

May I help you?

I saw your door was open.

Ah, Maurice.

And I thought to myselfwhy not pop in

and make a reservationfor this evening?

Well, we are fullybooked tonight

but I might be able to worka little magic for you.

This would be for two?

Yes, please.

I've read all the rave reviews

and I can't believe I haven'tmade it in yet.

Will the famous Billie Blessingsbe in attendance?

She usually is.

Oh, looks like I can fit youand your uh...

Business client.

I'm afraid you're lookingat a confirmed bachelor.

Well, we will see you at 8:00pmsharp then.

And what name shouldI put these under?

Charlie would be great.

And you are?

Cassandra.

Enchanted.

Until this evening.

Forgot my keys.

Hmm-mm.

Who was that?

That was a gentleman.

Whew.

Being a single motherreally changes your priorities.

You find yourself doing whateverit takes to protect your child.

And then they grow up to bebest-selling authors

like my son.

Hmm.

Derek Kelso isn't justa famous novelist.

He's also been voted one ofthe Pacific Northwest's

most eligible bachelors.

So, are the rumours true,Katie?

Are the two of you dating?

Um, we're just good friends.

Well, you heard it here first,ladies.

Derek Kelso is still available.

And when we come back,Tiffany will show us some ballet

inspired fashions from some ofour favourite local designers.

Hey, I thought you were...

What was that about?

I don't know.

But I'm gonna find out.

Lucy, go find out whatthat was all about.

Okay.

I'll be back before my segment,I promise.

No weapon, no trace evidenceon the hoodie he was wearing.

No defensive wounds.

Maybe he knew the killer.

Possibly, but either wayhe didn't see it coming.

We need to run downHannah Kelso's alibi.

I spoke to one ofthe neighbours last night.

She confirms that she jogsthree or four times a week,

always in the eveningafter it cools down.

We gotta find out if someonesaw her running last night.

First let's go inside and seewhat else we can get out of her.

Woah.

I've been knockingbut there's no answer.

Katie, it's Billie.

Are you okay?

Did something happen with youand Derek?

You have to believe me.

I swear I didn't kill anyone.

I went over to the houseto apologize to Hannah.

Okay.

I knocked, but all the lightswere off so I started to leave,

but then I noticed the back gatewas open.

What time was this?

Um... a little before 8:30.

I saw someone running awayso I yelled at them to stop

but then I saw the body.

It was so awful.

He was just lying there.

So I didn't think,I just took off.

And you ran right past me.

You must have been in shock.

I know you're scared butyou need to talk to the police.

If you don't tell themthat you were there

at the scene of the crimeand they find out

some other way it won'tlook good.

Will you go with me?

Of course.

Right after my cooking segmentI'll drive you.

Thank you for believing me.

And for being my friend.

I'm just so scared.

What if the police thinkI'm the killer?

I'm still in shock.

I just can't believe he's gone.

Ms. Kelso, can you think ofanyone that would want you

or Mr. Patton dead?

Well, I've won my fair share ofcases so obviously there's some

very unhappy people on the otherside of the courtroom but...

no one that I...

Ms. Kelso?

Mmm-mm.

No one.

It's important for youto tell us what you know.

I'm really not sure.

Well, sometimesthe smallest detail,

something you don't think hasany bearing on the case,

is what solves it.

Katie's father,Donald Sanders,

he came by here yesterdayextremely upset.

I- I just brushed it aside.

What was he upset about?

He's accusing me of writing somevery nasty letters to Katie,

which of course I did not do.

But he did say if theydidn't stop I'd be very sorry.

Do you recognize this?

No.

Should I?

What're you doing?

Sorry, I just came by to graba dog leash I left yesterday

and I thought I might sayhello to Katie,

but she wasn't there.

I don't think you should bein her dressing room

without her there.

Yeah, I guess not.

Unbelievable what happenedto Jerry Patton, right?

Do the police have any ideaswho killed him?

Or why?

I have no idea, I'm just amember of the public like you.

Derek said something about JerryPatton having lots of enemies

from the old caseshe worked on.

I wondered if the police knowabout that stuff.

Well, I'm sure they'reworking on that as we speak.

So, did you find it?

Find what?

The dog leash you werelooking for.

Yeah, I've got it right here.

Tell Katie I stopped by.

Yes?

Mr. Sanders, I'm DetectiveJackson,

this is my partner,Detective Hawk.

Can we speak with youabout a threat you allegedly

made to Hannah Kelso?

Oh, listen, she was sendingmy daughter cruel letters

and I told her to stop.

End of story.

You didn't threaten her?

It wasn't a threat.

Nobody hurts my daughterand gets away with it.

Well, the content of thoseletters must have been

pretty upsetting for youto go to Hannah Kelso

to speak about them.

I- I don't know what wasin them.

Katie never showed themto me.

What makes you so surethat they came from Ms. Kelso

and not someone else, say,Jerry Patton?

Mr. Sanders, do you recognizethis pin?

No.

No, I don't.

Can you tell us where youwere last night between7:00 and 8:30pm?

I was right here, at home,with my daughter, Katie.

And I have a home care nursethat came by, as well.

Is Katie here?

May we speak with her?

No, she's guest hostinga television program.

I don't know whenshe'll be home.

You'll uh, you'll have to comeback another time.

Thank you for your time.

This is my card.

If you think of anything,reach out.

The police were just here,they know about the letters,

and if they're lookinginto Jerry Patton

who knows what they'll find.

So be very carefulwhat you say.

Okay, yeah, thanks for that.

Donald Sanders' doctor confirmedthat they have a home care nurse

who comes to the housethree nights a week

and she was definitelythere last night

only she didn't arriveuntil 8:00pm.

Which means Donald Sandershad time to kill Jerry Patton

and be back beforethe nurse arrived.

What about Katie Sanders?

She has no alibi.

The nurse said Katie didn'tget home until after 9:00.

It's like she knows whatwe're doing before we do.

I just wish she'd stickto the baking

and leave the murdersto me.

Speaking of baking she signeda cookbook for my wife

and now I'm the best husbandin the world.

Hey, I was just headed out.

I wish I could stayand talk but-

Hey, was Katie Sanders stillin the studio?

Funny you should say that, I wasjust gonna swing by her house.

We had made plans and I thinkshe forgot about them.

I was wondering, have you everseen this before?

Recognize it?

It's Katie's.

I gave it to her.

I was actually gonna go tryto find her because...

there's something thatshe needed to tell you guys.

Katie was the mystery personthat I saw running

from Hannah Kelso's houselast night.

I want an APB on Katie Sanderscar now.

Saut�ed?

Nah.

Everyone does that.

Frozen?

Too country fair.

Flamb�ed.

That shows promise.

No explosions in the kitchenfor at least six months.

Our pocketbook can't take it andneither can my lovely flowers.

What's the occasion?

Keep your oven mitts off.

They're mine.

Did I forget your birthdayagain?

They're from a restaurant patronto say thank you

for helping him get areservation for tonight.

The guy from earlier?

What's his name?

Charlie.

Hmm.

Oh yeah, he's the one.

A real smooth operator.

I don't like him.

Well, he's a customer,

so you're only allowed to saynice things.

That's why I stayin the kitchen.

Are those bananas making anappearance on tonight's menu?

Yep, only they'respecial bananas.

You can eat the peel.

No. We are fully booked.

No experiments.

Where's the fun in that?

Hey guys,sorry I'm late.

You can eat the peels.

I just dropped Katie

right in the middle ofa murder investigation.

I still feel likea terrible friend.

You are anything but.

I just don't knowwhy she decided to run.

It's the worst thing aninnocent person can do.

Maybe I'm off base here

but uh, suppose she hadsomething to hide?

You can't honestly thinkthat Katie is the murderer.

She said that um, Hannah Kelsohated her because of Derek.

Maybe Hannah had Jerry findsomething to blackmail Katie

into leaving the show.

And how do you knowall about Jerry Patton?

Everybody knew about the guy.

He was a corrupt copwith a terrible reputation.

Blackmail, extortion...strong-arming with threats?

That was a Patton speciality.

Not exactly your protectand serve type, huh?

One dirty cop.

Your dad was oneof the good ones.

The best.

Well, I have some hensto roast.

Be careful, because whateverbusiness Jerry Patton is up to

I can tell you it's bad news.

Katie, where are you?

Jerry Patton's house.

325 Olive.

I was attacked.

Help me.

Okay, okay, I'll be right there.

Hello?

Don't go insideuntil we get there.

Billie's heading overto Jerry Patton's house.

Katie Sanders is there.

Amazing.

We just got an anonymous tipabout a break-in

at Jerry Patton's house.

Katie!

Everything's gonna be okay.

Police!

She went in.

Billie!

Downstairs!

It's okay.

Call the paramedics.

Miss Sanders,let's get you upstairs.

We'll need to speak with youdown at the station.

Hey, what're you doing here?

Just making sure a friendis okay.

Hmm.

I thought you were onthe day shift?

Well, after I clock outI like to bring the fellas

on late-night some doughnuts.

Put smiles on their faces.

Well...

Well, a doughnutfor your thoughts.

Ooh.

Old fashioned.

Mmmhmm.

Mmm.

Joey, you've been a policemanfor a long time.

Mmmhmm.

Have you ever had a suspect whoyour gut told you was innocent?

Even though all the evidencewas pointed in their direction?

Well, the evidence doesn't lie.

But sometimes it doesn't tellthe whole story.

Listen, you've got a good gut.

I would listen to it.

Did you know Jerry Pattonwhen he was on the force?

Yeah, everyone thought he wasan okay guy until he got booted

on that extortion charge.

Do the police think that KatieSanders was being blackmailed?

You know, I can't tell you that.

Well, that's the wordaround the station, yeah.

Do they know why?

I don't think so.

But I imagine it's pretty bad,whatever it is that she did,

if Jerry Patton wantedto blackmail her for it.

Hmm.

Well, I...

Ian.

Hey, Ian.

Um...

Well, thank you very much.

I'll be sure to tell AuntCassandra that you said hello.

Yeah, tell her she's beenon my mind.

Ian.

Hawk says you were still here.

We're keeping Katie in custody.

There's nothing more for youto do for her tonight.

Ian, how could she be a suspectif somebody tried to kill her?

It was a superficial wound,

and we only have her wordabout what happened.

You saw the lockon the closet door,

she could have easilylocked herself in there,

making it look like she was thevictim instead of the killer.

Wait, you think she did thisto herself?

I appreciate your input butyou have to let me do my job.

Even if you don't agreewith my methods.

Oh, right on time.

Those flowers are so beautiful,you shouldn't have.

I'm glad you'reenjoying them.

My client has a cold soI'm afraid it's just me.

Well, come on in,we'll still feed you.

Right this way.

How's this?

Oh, lovely, thank you.

There you go.

Would you care to join mefor a glass of wine?

That's very kind of you butthis place won't run itself.

Try the Cornish game henwith the gremolata.

It is divine tonight.

And if you stick arounduntil closing

I might join you for dessert.

I know Katie was atJerry Patton's house

and there was an empty filewith her name on it.

Which we're dealing with.

Do you know what I'm thinking?

You know what I'm thinking?

I'm thinking you're too closeto this.

I'm thinking you'renot seeing clearly

because the suspect is someoneyou care about.

But Katie had the meansand a motive,

and I can't discount that justbecause she's your friend.

You have to accept that KatieSanders might be our killer.

You know what you don't haveto worry about, though?

The dessert party.

I've got it covered.

Yeah, I wasn't worried aboutthe dessert party-

There's gonna be cupcakesand cake pops galore.

I don't doubt it.

Think about what I said?

Maybe let this one go?

You know what?

Before I forget, Maurice and Iare working on some cupcakes

that Emma is going to love.

But we're gonna needsome flavour approval

from the birthday girl,so...

How about tomorrow night?

Great.

Great.

Oh, and Ian, um... thank youso much for being there today.

That's my job.

I promise I'll let you know

if there's any movementin the case.

Maybe then you won't have to doany investigating on your own?

I knew I was askingtoo much already.

Is that Derek Kelso?

Derek?

You arrested Katie?

Her dad just called me.

But you gotthe wrong person.

Katie didn't killJerry Patton.

I did.

Hi, Aunt Cassandra.

Billie, this is Charlie.

It is so nice to meet you, mymeal was absolutely wonderful.

Thank you.

A lot of love goesinto every meal we make.

To be honest, I don't knowhow you find the time

to do all that you do.

Run a restaurant,write cookbooks,

and consult with the police.

I don't consultwith the police.

I beg to differ.

From what I've been reading

you're quite the amateurdetective.

I tell you, that Jerry Pattonfellow

seems like he wasn'ta very nice man.

I wouldn't know, I barelyknew the man.

You know, I'm a truecrime aficionado

and I would love to justsit down with you

and pick your brain on allthe work you've been doing.

Talk shop, as they say.

Uh...

Oh, I'm sorry if I'm speakingout of turn.

Forget what I said.

I just know from experiencethat the truth doesn't always

see the light of day.

Sometimes it needsa fresh set of eyes.

Right, well, it's beena long day for me

and these eyes need to go to bedso it was nice meeting you

and I'm glad you enjoyedyour meal.

Thank you.

You see the charmer Cassandrais sitting with?

Yep, just met him.

I felt like I wasbeing interrogated

by an overzealous crime fan.

I don't care what he's a fan of,

he's just being way too chummywith Cassandra.

You look like you could useone of my patented omelettes.

It smells delicious.

The secret is good butterand an extra helping of chives.

Is there something elseon your mind?

Derek confessed but it looks badfor Katie, Maurice.

Running from the crime scene,

breaking into JerryPatton's house.

And I can tell there'sstill something

she's holding back.

You think she's lying?

I saw Joey downat the station.

He said the police think Katie'sbeing blackmailed.

And there was an empty folderat Jerry's house

with Katie's name on it.

So if he's blackmailingKatie...

Then why not other people, too?

What does Ian think?

Mmm.

I see.

You know, I know it goesagainst all reason,

but my heart tells me Katieis not a killer.

I think the key to solvingJerry Patton's murder

is in one of his old case files.

I spoke to your friend, Brian.

He says you were at the barthat night the whole evening.

He didn't realize I had gone.

I was back beforethe trivia started.

Why don't you walk me throughwhat happened

the night Jerry Patton died?

Katie came by the bar.

She wanted to talk.

She was convinced my momwas about to have her fired.

Was she right?

Well, Katie already thoughtmy mom had been sending

her nasty letters tryingto get her to quit the show.

But what I told her thenand again last night

was that my mom neededthe TV show to do well.

There's no way she'd fireher lead actress

or try to get her to quit.

So if not your mom,who was threatening Katie?

It was pretty clear to me Jerrywas the one behind everything.

And Katie seemed to agree.

Go on.

He was the king ofdigging up dirt on people.

It's what my mompaid him to do.

He's always going onabout his old case files.

Called them his insurance.

Okay.

Go back to that night.

I decided I neededto talk to my mom.

Jerry was her bulldog.

If he was harassing Katie my momneeded to put him on a leash.

So you left the bar and droveto your mother's house?

When I got there she was out,but the side gate was opened

and that wasn't normal,so I went around back.

And saw what?

Jerry Patton standingby the water.

I asked him why he wassending Katie the letters.

He said it was noneof my business.

We started arguing.

He came after me.

I just saw red.

I lost it.

I-

And how did you kill him?

I... I pushed himand he fell backward.

I think maybe he hit his headon a rock or something

because he didn't get up.

And then I ran.

Maybe we could spice this upwith a little playful music.

Totally. That is justwhat I was thinking.

You know what?You're good at this.

If you ever wantedto become a producer

you have an eye for it.

Thanks.

Really.

Oh hey, you got a sec?

I need your research skills.

Ah, hey, hey, hey.

What about me?

Research ismy middle name.

I need all the informationyou can get me

on Jerry Patton's old cases.

I think someone from his pastmight be the real murderer.

I'll start digging.

Did you want all the caseshe worked with Hannah on, too?

I need everything you can getyour hands on.

I can check the video archives,see what I can find.

Great.

Thanks, guys.

Alright, let's get started.

So you didn't see anyone thatnight at Hannah Kelso's house?

No.

I- well- I thought I saw someonedown the shoreline

but I can't say for sure.

It could have just beena trick of the light.

Look, I can't help you if you'renot gonna be honest with me.

Maybe what really happenedis that Jerry Patton was alive

when you got to Hannah'sand you were mad at him so you-

No.

He was dead when I got there,I swear it.

Tell me about the threateningletters.

They were just someone's ideaof a bad joke.

Your dad didn't seem to thinkthey were a bad joke.

He accused Hannah Kelsoof sending them.

He was just protecting me.

Who do you think sent them?

Okay, let's talk about yesterdayat Jerry Patton's house.

Did you see who hit you?

Katie, this is not looking goodfor you.

You could go to jail.

Thank you for coming over, I-I didn't know who else to call.

Ian Jackson is a good detectiveand a close friend of mine.

She is in good hands.

With someone who thinksshe's a killer?

You know, the police arejust trying to do their job

and it doesn't seem likeyou and Katie

are making that easyfor them.

When the police came here

they- they showed me a pinthat I had seen Katie wearing

on the morning showand that's when I knew

that they thoughtshe was the killer.

And then they asked about thenasty letters she had received.

The blackmail letters.

Do you know what the letterswere accusing her of?

No.

No, she never told me.

A father should always be thereto take care of his child,

no matter whatthe consequences,

and I would do anythingto keep my little girl safe.

Please, you have to help her.

What're you doing?

Oh, I was just uh...admiring your walking stick.

It's beautiful.

Thanks, it was a- it wasa gift from Katie.

Okay well, bye.

Bye now.

What do you think of DerekKelso's confession?

Seems pretty convenientthat he shows up

right after we bring Katie in.

Medical examiner's report saidit wasn't a blow to the head

that killed our victim.

He was smotheredafter being knocked out.

Which means Derek Kelsowas lying.

Why lie about killingsomeone if you're innocent?

To cover for someone else?

Or...

Maybe he has a partner.

I thought you'd want to knowsomeone just called in

a shooting at Hannah Kelso'shouse.

Let's go.

I don't know where he came from,but I-

I turned around andhe was there and I-

I tried to run but he was justso fast,

he caught me and I triedto fight him off

but he had a gun and-and then it just went off.

Why don't you helpMs. Kelso change?

Make sure you bag her clothesand we'll take her statement.

No, no, no, no, no.

You don't understand.

I knew him.

It was Brian Reynolds.

He's the dog trainerfrom my show.

He came here to finish offwhat he started.

Don't you see?

He missed me the first timeand murdered Jerry.

And now he was goingto kill me.

Okay.

Hi.

Hi.

Per your request, sixred velvet flower cupcakes.

Oh, yes.

Maurice has outdone himself.

These are just beautiful.

So are yours.

Yeah, I still have to getflavour approval

from the birthday girl,vanilla, chocolate,

or red velvet.

Sounds like you'reon dessert overload.

No, baking ismy happy place.

As long as you follow the recipeeverything turns out perfectly.

Unlike real life.

Yeah.

Listen, the policeare gonna clear Katie.

We both know Ian Jacksonis very good at his job.

He's gonna find the real killerwhich means you can just relax,

take a deep breath.

Tonight is about Emma,and you and Ian,

so you can just take all thoseinvestigative thoughts

and put them on the back burnerand let the sweet smell

of sugar and vanilla and butterjust fill your heart.

You're right.

Why am I surprised?

You're always right.

Yes, I am.

So enjoy your eveningwith Ian and Emma.

That man has feelings for you,

it's written all over his face

any time he looksin your direction.

And you've got feelingsfor him, too.

Aunt Cassandra-

I can see that.

So listen to me.

Don't forget to embracethe good stuff while you can,

because you'll regret itif you don't.

Take it from somebodywho's been there.

Bye, Aunt Cassandra.

Bye, baby.

Okay.

Billie's here!

With tester cupcakes.

Thanks, Billie.

Let's take a walk.

I have some informationon the case.

I'll let Emma know that we'll beright out front.

It hasn't been reported tothe public yet but I wanted you

to know that Brian Reynoldswas killed this afternoon.

What?!

He broke into HannahKelso's house.

He had a gun and he attacked herand the gun went off.

He was dead at the scene.

Wait, why?

What was his motive?

That I don't know yet.

But it looks likehe's responsible

for Jerry Patton's death, too.

Hawk's re-interviewingthe witness from the bar.

He's gonna focus on Brian.

We're hoping to find a windowthat he was unaccounted for.

So until then Katieis still a suspect?

I'm afraid so.

Though what we have on heris purely circumstantial.

So we had to let her go.

And Derek Kelsomay have confessed

but he had the causeof death wrong.

Jerry Patton was hiton the head

but his cause of deathwas suffocation.

So until we clear that upI have no other option

but to hold him in custody.

Well, you should keepDonald Sanders on the list

because I was at his housethis afternoon

and I saw his walking stickhad a big crack in it.

Maybe that's the weapon thatwas used to hit Jerry Patton.

I'll send Hawk over thereto collect it for comparison

to Jerry's head wound.

If it's a match it would goa long way

to place him at the scene.

Ian, everywhere I turnI just keep seeing

more and more evidenceagainst Katie and her dad.

Do you know anything aboutthese blackmail letters

she was getting?

You know about those?

I cannot reveal my sources.

Does your source happen to havea soft spot for doughnuts?

Okay, hear me out.

If Jerry was sendingblackmail letters to Katie,

why not to other people, too?

Ok, I'll buy it. Go on.

It always bothered me thatJerry's office was trashed.

Maybe someone was looking forold case files.

Maybe that's where we findour motive.

Oh, we?

Well, that's enough case talkfor tonight.

We have a dessert partyto plan.

We need to focuson cupcakes.

The red velvet wasthe winner in my book.

Yeah, Emma liked that one,too?

Good.

Maybe red velvet and vanilla?

Hmm.

Done.

A little birdie told us-

It was Aunt Cassandra.

That you might have a chocolatefountain you could lend us?

Yeah, sure.

Cupcakes and a chocolatefountain?

My friends are gonna love it.

Mmmhmm.

Well, how could they not?

Emma, I am officially jealousof your dessert party.

You're invited.

Didn't dad tell you?

Would you like to chaperonewith me?

Please say yes.

Are you kidding?

I would love that.

Great.

It's me.

I need your help.

Come on in.

I'm so sorry I dragged youinto this mess.

Look, you didn't drag meinto anything,

but you have to start telling methe truth.

Why did you go toJerry Patton's house?

I know he wasblackmailing you.

My dad called me at the studio,said the police knew everything.

I panicked.

I went to Jerry's house

to try and find the evidencehe had on me.

It was so dumb.

I should have listened to youand gone straight to the police.

Tell me about this filewith your name on it.

The one I saw at Jerry Patton'shouse on the floor.

When I was in collegesome friends and I

protested the loggingof an old growth forest.

Things got out of handand I was arrested

for disturbing the peaceand resisting arrest.

I didn't think that it wasserious enough to disclose it

when I signed the contractfor Kelso's Law.

So you think that by notdisclosing it you were putting

yourself in breach of the moralsclause of the contract?

That's right.

Katie, the file was empty.

It was?

Then whoever hit mehas the evidence now.

Who do you think mighthave hit you?

You know, I ran into Brianoutside your dressing room

in the hallway and he wasacting very, very strangely.

I think he likes me.

Katie, Brian's dead.

What?!

He tried to attack Hannah andshe shot him in self-defence.

I'm so sorry.

But do you think that Briancould have been

the one who hit you?

I mean, what was his involvementin all this?

I don't know.

Okay, what about Derek?

Where was he when this wasgoing on?

After I got off the phonewith my dad I called Derek

and told him I was goingto Jerry's and why.

So he knew whereyou were going?

He could have been the onewho hit you.

No, he would never.

At... at least... I don'tthink he would.

What- what... didsomething happen

that would make you wonderabout him?

Derek knew why I wasbeing blackmailed.

The night of the murder

I think I saw Derek running awayfrom the body.

What if Derek killed Jerryand stole the file

because he was tryingto protect me?

And what if Brianwas helping him?

Cassandra Shaw?

Yes?

Thank you.

From your admirer,smooth Charlie?

That's not his nameand you know it.

What'd I say?

Back to work.

So, how'd it go with Billielast night?

Planning Emma'sbirthday party.

Come on, you gotta takethat lady out on a proper date.

Tonight I'm taking herto dinner.

Nice.

I'm glad you approve.

Detective Hawk?

They just unlockedBrian Johnston's cell phone.

Thank you.

Ok, the last text he receivedwas from a burner phone

two days ago.

"Now isn't the time.

"We need to talk first. "

Are you thinkingwhat I'm thinking?

We were right aboutour partner angle.

Yeah, but who arethe partners?

I don't think Derekwanted his mother killed,

so who does that leave?

Brian and Katie?

Mmm.

What about Brianand Donald Sanders?

We need more evidence.

Yeah.

Jerry had a lot of enemies.

Derek said something aboutJerry Patton keeping case files

for insurance.

We should go back to his houseand check,

and make sure we didn'tmiss anything.

Yeah.

Yeah.

Copy that.

Yes, I'm trying to get the phonenumber or the address

of someone who sent meflowers today.

Mmmhmm.

Cassandra Shaw.

Blessings Kitchen?

Yes.

I'm popping out, I'll be back inabout half an hour.

Sure.

Have fun. We'll be here.

We've been through this housewith a fine-tooth comb.

Nothing.

I don't remember that extrawindow in Jerry Patton's office.

That's because there isn't one.

Let's call in forensics.

Okay, let's see what's behindthis wall.

There's something behindthat bookcase.

Bingo.

Hey.

We have good news.

Something that might point thepolice in a different direction.

But I'm gonna let my fellowresearcher elaborate.

As you know, uh, the firstepisode of Kelso's Law

was based on the MillionairePup Case.

Which was like ten years ago.

But I found a bunch of footagefrom the trial.

The story goes that Rexthe dog belonged

to an older wealthy womanwho left him her fortune.

In a trust, because,you know,

a dog plus Rex equalsno bank account.

Right.

We got it, Phil.

The woman asked Hannahto be the trustee

and after she died to basicallymake sure that Rex continued

to live the life of luxuryto which he was accustomed.

But the twist is afterthe old woman died

under mysterious circumstances,

Rex's trainer claimed thatshe had made a second will

naming him as the trustee,not Hannah.

Yeah, I read aboutthat in the papers.

Yeah, so the dog trainertook Hannah to court

but he lost because he was neverable to prove

that there was an actualsecond will.

Rex lived with Hannah untilhe died a few months ago.

That dog had an amazing life.

He ate better than most humans.

Yeah.

So what happened after that?

When the trainer lost the case

he was arrested for smotheringthe old woman to death.

Wait a minute, I...I know him.

Here, I'll zoom in.

His name is Charlie, he's beenhanging out at the restaurant,

asking a lot of questions.

That's Charlie Johnston.

The dog trainer from the case.

Isn't that Brian Reynoldsnext to him?

No, he's Brian Johnston.

Charlie's son.

I've never had anyone send megoodbye flowers before so...

it piqued my curiosity.

So I thought I'd do a littlesleuthing of my own.

The woman at the motel frontdesk said she saw you walking

towards the park,so I thought-

You shouldn't have come here.

Leave me in peace, please.

Just go.

Didn't you hear me? I said go!

I don't think so.

What don't you understand?

Can't you see I want to beleft alone?

Okay. Why don't you tell mewhat happened first

and then we can talk aboutme going?

Don't think I don't knowwhat you were doing out here.

I can tell you right now that isnot gonna happen on my watch.

Tell me what's wrong.

They killed my son.

Blessings.

Hi, Billie.

No, Cassandra's not here.

No, I don't knowwhere she went.

She said she'd be back in a halfhour like an hour ago.

That's odd.

He's what?

Did you try her cell?

I think I know where she is.

I remember this one.

Millionaire Pup Case.

The dog that inherited millions.

Before my time, I think.

Billie?

We gotta go.

What? What is it?

Derek. He needs to talk.

He's at his mom's.

I... I don't think that'sa good idea.

I'll have my cell phone.

I'll be careful, I promise.

Okay, thank you.

She said she heard somethingthat sounded like

a car backfiring about 15minutes ago in this direction.

Oh, I was looking for Derek.

He's inside waiting for you.

I know he's gonna be happyto see you.

Please, come in.

That's Aunt Cassandra's.

Don't worry, we're gonnafind her.

We've already got someoneworking on unlocking

the GPS coordinateson her phone.

They have a lockon her cell phone.

What are her coordinates?

Apparently she's stillin the park.

That way.

Wait here.

Get away from the car!

Put your hands on your head!

Search him, Vinnie.

Cassandra.

Ian, it's-it's alright.

He's got a gun.

Don't move.

Cuff him.

Aunt Cassandra,are you okay?

I'm okay, I'm okay.

Come on.

Yes, he just needed to talk.

I was so worried.

I'm fine.

If anything ever happenedto you because of me-

Stop. It didn't.

Charlie and I just talked,that's all.

I'm glad you're okay.

Charlie is convinced thatyou won't listen to his story

because he got arrestedfor that woman's murder

in the Millionaire Pup Caseall those years ago.

But I talked him into trying.

We were on our way to thestation when you showed up.

We'll take him in and we'lllisten to what he has to say,

I promise.

I know we had dinnerplans tonight.

Work calls.

I'll make it up to you.

Maybe I'll even cook. I'mpretty good with spaghetti.

Uh! This I got to see.

I'll take a rain cheque.

I appreciate your understanding.All right.

Billie, there's something elseabout Jerry and Hannah

that you need to know.

Good.

Now sign it.

What good's a suicide notewithout a signature?

Now stand upand stop crying.

Let's go.

Get in the boat!

Stop!

She was gonna drown mein the lake.

Quiet!

Hannah, you don't wantto do this.

This is a big mistake.

Don't you tell mewhat I wanna do.

You have stumbled onto somethingyou don't understand.

Oh, I understand morethan you think.

You were the one who had Jerrysend those letters to Katie

and then you had him come tothe restaurant to scare her.

I had to get rid of her.

She was trying to steal my sonaway from me.

But why try to blackmail her?

Why not just turn overthe dirt that Jerry gave you?

Give it to the network,let them fire her.

Everyone knows she was in breachof the morals clause.

They would have laughed meout of the room.

What're you talking about?

I am talking about disturbingthe peace, resisting arrest...

believe me, nobody cared.

And then something happenedand Katie became

the least of your worries.

Brian Johnston showed up lookingfor that second will.

Oh, you're smart.

See, I knew I liked youfor a reason.

Jerry recognized him the momenthe showed up on set.

I didn't think anything of it.

Obviously he was just tryingto find a way

to clear his father's name,

but I had already madethat impossible.

Until you realized it wasn't.

Jerry had that second will.

The one you thought he destroyedfor you all those years ago.

Let me guess.

He used it as insurance to gethis share of the trust

because Rex was gone.

All that money for a dog.

And then, Rex's owner, shetold that she changed her mind.

She was gonna give the moneythat she promised me

to Charlie Johnston.

The dog trainer.

Jerry killed that old womanfor you.

And when he wanted the moneyyou promised him,

Derek killed Jerry.

Or at least he thought he did.

No, not Derek.

Derek wasn't lying aboutcoming to the house

and getting in a fightwith Jerry.

He just got the causeof death wrong.

It was suffocationthat killed Jerry,

not a hit to the head.

Derek did all the workbut I'm guessing

that you were the onewho suffocated him.

I saw the whole thingfrom the house.

And with him down itwas just so simple.

Which is why Katiesaw you running

from the scene of the crime,off to craft your own alibi.

How could you let himsit in jail

thinking he was the murderer?

I did it for him.

I did it all for him.

And then once they found outyou were dead

and they saw your signedconfession and suicide note

they would haveset him free.

You don't understand, I just...I just wanted the best for him.

Hannah, it's over.

Give me the gun.

Oh, I just- I reallyliked you.

It's just too bad thatyou have to die.

No!

It's over, Hannah!

Billie, are you okay?

Yeah.

Cuff her, Hawk.

Hannah Kelso,

you are under arrest forthe murder of Jerry Patton

and Brian Johnston.

You have the right to remain silent.

Anything you say...

Derek's been released.

He's waiting at the station.

Hey.

Are you sure it's okay?

I hate to leave you guysat the dinner rush.

We got this.

Aww, thank you.

No, thank you for comingto my rescue,

even if I didn't actuallyneed rescuing.

I still can't believe they foundthat second will

in Jerry's old case file.

Well, I am very proudof Charlie.

He's donating all that moneyto charity.

That's great.

Mmmhmm.

Poor man.

I mean, he knew his son wasobsessed with clearing his name

but he had no idea thatBrian had taken that TV job

and was trying to do itall on his own.

He came right back to townthe moment he found out.

And that's when he saw your namein the paper

and thought he could get moreinformation by coming here.

Yeah, well if only Charlie wouldhave told us what was going on.

Or if Brian had taken Charlie'stext seriously,

but instead he went over toHannah's house to confront her

and she turned the tableson him.

Well, I, for one,am glad that Katie

was cleared of any wrongdoing.

Me too, and Ian says they'regonna go easy on Derek.

Okay, that's enough talkabout that.

You need to getyour feet moving,

you have a dessert partyto chaperone.

Okay, well, goodnight.

Goodnight.

Have a good time.

The cupcakes!

Billie, you're the best!

Thanks, Billie.

Hey, help.

The house is overrunwith giggling little girls.

It's all those sugary dessertsyou've been feeding them.

Says the sweetest womanI know.

Come on in.

So this is officiallyour first date.

I guess it is.

You're a really special person,Billie Blessings.

But I knew that backin high school.

And for some reason we justlet each other go.

Well, hopefully we won't makethat same mistake again.

Dad! Billie!

The chocolate fountain's ready.

A father's work is never done.
