hey

getting a little close there

i don't know what your problem is but

[Music]

[Music]

[Music]

oh

i'm glad to see this book in your stack

ollie my niece told me reading this book

made her baby's first year go much more

smoothly ella ma's class was talking

about it i was worried it might have

been checked out oh i monitor our

inventory and always make sure we have

numerous copies of our most helpful

titles

true crime holy

oh yeah aurora recommended it at least i

think this was it is she here so i can

ask her the last one she recommended had

me glued to the couch the whole night ah

aurora isn't here she's just started

several weeks vacation for her honeymoon

but i can set that aside and recommend a

more edifying read oh there she is now

bro was this the book you were talking

about it is yes robin daniels is a

master of the true crime genre well i

would submit the master of true crime is

faint praise

but uh reading of any kind is to be

encouraged i suppose

do enjoy holly thanks

have fun on your honeymoon row oh we

will

oh i thought you and nick would be on a

plane to paris by now paris is socked in

with fog for the next few days we had to

reschedule our trip for next week well

don't expect me to put you back on the

schedule i've already covered your

shifts

and frankly

i don't want you underfoot if there's no

need

i just stopped by to give you this

a thank you gift for being a part of our

wedding oh

now you've made me appear uncharitable

oh i said any wonder i was looking

forward to your vacation

[Music]

now the man convicted in this case won

olin pete coons went to prison for

killing his disabled father's caregiver

and her husband despite having a strong

alibi

now it was only years later that coons

who consistently claimed his innocence

introduced evidence

he'd been framed

by the caretaker to take the fall in a

murder-suicide that she herself

committed

wait

you're saying this caregiver decided to

make pete coons look guilty not only for

her husband's murder but

for her suicide yeah i know i'm brand

new to the club but that seems pretty

far-fetched to me if she was gonna do

herself in any way why bother framing

coons probably for revenge it was coons

who figured out she was stealing money

from his father and was getting ready to

press charges

oh i'm sorry phil please go ahead

where were we

so no earther tonight is he working a

case no he's on a cruise ship right now

with his mom and the kids oh good for

him

it's too bad you two had to put off your

honeymoon well weather happens yeah

we don't mind having a little staycation

until we can get on a plane to paris i

know

you could spend a few days at aunt

gladys's place at ridge bay bubba and i

sometimes go up there for a romantic

weekend i love ridge bay me my friends

go fishing up there sometimes that's up

highway 23 right it's about a half hour

drive i'd be more than happy to give you

the keys to the cabin

oh thank you lizzy but it's not the kind

of honeymoon we had in mind no pre

honeymoon

we have the time off why not go up there

for a few days i'd love to get you on a

boat do a little fishing

fishing

yeah it sounds fun

[Music]

i think it's wonderful that you and nick

are heading up to the bay you two need

some long time together i'm very excited

about romantic walks in the woods and

wine on the deck at sunset but

how do i tell my husband i really don't

want to go fishing

oh yes sir that wouldn't be my cup of

tea either

but didn't you say fishing has some

sentimental value for nick yeah his

father used to take him and his brother

on long fishing trips they're happy

memories for him well you know you

should try it i mean who knows you may

like it

aurora you're just starting a marriage

that i know you want to last

would serve you well to get out of your

comfort zone once in a while

thank you mother sounds like excellent

advice yes well i learned that the

difficult way

hmm

does that mean you'll be playing poker

with dad when you go down to visit him

in florida how did you know that i'm

going down there dad told me you two

have been having long late night phone

conversations since the wedding and he

said you're gonna go visit him next

month the question is why didn't you

tell me

mother are you blushing

no

no that would suggest that i'm doing

something untoward which i certainly am

not oh no you're just keeping it a

secret i'm trying to protect you i don't

want you invested in a particular

outcome if your dad and i spend time

together and then you know

oh could that be dad now oh stop it

no it's a real estate association i

better take it hi

to my imagination when does your mother

look a little flushed oh she'd tell you

it's your imagination and not because we

were just talking about my dad ah

you ready

fish are waiting

can't wait

wow when lizzy said cabin i was thinking

something small and rustic i don't think

aunt gladys was much rough in it

[Music]

hi

welcome

come on in

wow

so

there are dvds for the tv but there's no

cable or satellite oh there's no wi-fi

either and gladys wanted to feel like

she could literally get away from it all

my uncle tried to talk her into getting

a landline for emergencies but she said

no to that too oh it's perfect

just you me and

beautiful nature

okay so i'm gonna go and i'm gonna let

you to start your honeymoon or

your rehearsal honeymoon or whatever

this is

okay keys are on the counter have so

much fun

thanks again lizzy yes we appreciate it

lizzy

[Music]

wow

[Music]

how smart are we to marry each other

i'm very pleased with our brilliant

decision-making

i knew we'd be happy together but i

didn't know it would feel like this like

floating

well mrs aurora teagarden miller i've

been floating since the day i met you

stop saying that

poor kid he's upset

we should give them their privacy

[Music]

[Music]

i suppose we should start thinking about

what we want to do for dinner

maybe dinner can wait

[Music]

hello hi welcome to silicon security how

may i help you i'm aiden t garden from

the real estate association and i have

an appointment with the owner russ locum

yes i will let him know you're here

please have a seat thank you

oh my husband made me breakfast how

lucky am i

coffee with a splash of cream oh thank

you

so today's fishing day right uh-huh yeah

i get the feeling you're not all that

excited about it no i am

this marriage is built to last i am

going to share in your interests

i'm going to learn to hook

innocent little fishies

pull them up out of their nice watery

home and

learn to gut them and fry them up

so the president of the real murderous

club who doesn't flinch at the most

grizzly of crimes gets squishy about the

thought of catching a fish

i'm sure i can get used to it well

the success of our marriage doesn't

depend on you hooking innocent little

fish

well whatever it took i was prepared to

be ruthless

well forget fishing but we can still

take a boat out on the bay and maybe

take a picnic

find a nice spot along the shore

oh now that sounds like my kind of

adventure

well if the boat breaks down we have

enough food to survive on the bay for

days

looks like someone could use a hand

oh

that's the

kid we saw on our neighbor's deck last

night

hey there

got a flat ic i've never changed a tire

before i can't figure this thing out

well i'll be happy to show you how that

thing works

can we call someone for you i already

called my mom

shouldn't stayed at her cabin last night

i knew i'd class this morning but now

i'm gonna miss it my professor told me

if i miss one more class it'll be an

automatic fail you're professor you mean

at lawrence university yeah i'm a

freshman

oh well my husband teaches there nick

why don't you call his professor and ask

him to make an exception well a flat

tire is hardly his fault

jacob

are you all right yeah i'm fine

i was just about to show how to change

that tire thanks i called triple a they

should be here soon mom this guy works

at lu and he said he could talk to my

professor so i don't get dropped

actually i didn't say that i did and i

probably shouldn't have i was just

trying to help

i'm ro by the way this is my husband

nick we're staying at the allison cabin

for a few days then i'm your next-door

neighbor

terry hall this is jacob

good to meet you neighbor

wait so

are you going to talk to my professor no

jacob

i actually prefer him to figure out how

to solve his own problems

exactly what i usually recommend to

parents there you see i do know what i'm

talking about

now let's go wait in my car

i hope you both have a nice day

you too

[Music]

this is tea garden russ locum yes thank

you for meeting with me yes please

so

you told my assistant that you've had

some complaints from the agents in your

real estate association about my company

yes and as chairman of the business

outreach program i'm hoping that you can

help me with that i'll certainly do what

i can what seems to be the problem

well the problem is that some of your

representatives are selling your home

security systems and telling customers

that the security system raises the

value of their homes a lot more than it

actually does that's

concerning i've experienced that myself

a few times when listening a house my

clients are not too happy when they find

out what the actual worth of the

security system is to an appraiser uh

here's a list of complaints from the

different agents

just as i thought

every one of the orders for the

customers your agents named were deals

made by one of my long-time sales reps

cliff minton well it's nice to know it's

not company policy to misrepresent the

value of a product i don't think it's

cliff's policy either he's just an

enthusiastic guy with a talent for

hyperbole

but he's not always on point with the

numbers

i'll talk to him

it won't be a problem in the future oh

well the future is not the issue the

seeds of misinformation have already

been planted point taken

um why don't we send out a letter to all

of cliff's customers make sure they know

the actual value of their system perhaps

a joint letter with the real estate

association sure

i can have one of my assistants work on

that with you what about chris minton

these are his customers shouldn't his

signature be on the letter as well maybe

but um cliff hasn't been in the office

all week and i haven't been able to

reach him

i'm actually getting a little worried if

he's been gone a week shouldn't you be

calling the police and report him

missing

[Music]

okay thank you

there you go um so we have three hours

to bring the boat back

get another hour free if you're in

fishing equipment got some decent rods

here

ah no thanks

um we won't be going fishing today

[Music]

wasted opportunity if you ask me to

teach his own

slip number 18 life jackets are under

the seat

thanks so much

wasn't he mr sunshine

ah

you all ready

i'm ready

[Music]

and when's the last time you saw mr

minty last friday missing almost a week

why'd it take you so long to call us

well cliff doesn't work every day

he's got other income so he comes and

goes as he pleases

the weird thing is he's not answering

his phone not returning calls or texts

does he have any family people he lives

with wife kids no he's divorced no kids

lives alone any other family members

parents siblings uh he has parents in

maryland in a retirement home

but they're not close

feel free to jump in sergeant what else

would you ask if you were leading this

investigation

oh uh yeah what about his friends you

must have friends here at work sure

most of my sales group is fairly tight

he's probably closest to tom

tom

want to come here a minute

what's up have you heard from your buddy

cliff minton since friday i saw him for

a few minutes on saturday morning he

stopped by my place to borrow my fishing

rod said he was going to head up to

ridge bay needed to clear his head

claire's head

from what was he under work stress now

if he was stressed it was probably about

his divorce

he's still in court battles with his

it's ex how much fun you can have on a

boat without a fishing pole in your

hands yeah but i was hoping to impress

you with my ability to scare up a meal

with just a string and a hook

oh don't worry you've impressed me with

many other things

speaking of meals i am getting hungry

oh um

that looks like a good spot for a picnic

over there

nick look is that a bow caught in the

brush

the heller logo on it like this one i

wonder how it got out here maybe there

was some rough weather and i got loose

from the sweat

maybe if we tow it in we can tear up mr

sunshine

hey do you see

that looks like some sort of bundle

[Music]

it's a body

[Music]

bad timing for lynn that arthur is stuck

on a cruise ship right now well she

promoted officer heard to sergeant i'm

sure he'll step up

the deceased still had his wallet and

keys in his pocket

bridge bay motel that isn't far from

here you've already given us your

statement rose so you and nick are free

to go

well

from the id that we found on his wallet

the victim's name clifford edward

mintman of lawrenceville cliff minton

that's our missing person from silicon

security yeah he was reported missing

when this is police business road not

yours go back to your honeymoon actually

it's our pre honeymoon okay whatever

just

go

i overheard the corver's crew talking

they found a bullet wound in the guy's

chest

it was murder

well that explains the blood spatter we

saw in the rental boat

so he was shot in the boat

let's go see what else they found well i

don't think lynn wants to have to tell

us again

maybe we should get them back to

enjoying our preheat

yeah that's exactly what we should do

yeah

[Music]

so if this is a potential homicide i

need you to head back to lawrence and

lock down the victim's house yeah i'll

stop by slocum security too and lock

down that office as well good get his

computer there's a cctv camera at the

end of the dock i'm gonna check with the

marine authority and see if it was

recording

first i'm gonna head over the motel and

the boat rental place see if minton was

seen with anybody during his time here

all right i'll see you at the station

[Music]

that must be cliff minton's truck

they're towing yeah oh i almost forgot i

have to settle up with mr sunshine i'll

meet you back here where are you going

just for a little walk

to the motel i'm curious you curious ha

ha i won't be long then i'll be right

back to the honeymoon free honeymoon

excuse me do you work here yes i'm the

manager they said somebody got killed on

the bay yes someone who was staying here

clifford minton in room 137. huh i guess

it explains why you didn't show up to

check out

do you know when he checked in

yeah last saturday afternoon booked for

two nights but just ate the ones and

then poof

didn't show up for his luggage or

anything

that didn't strike you as odd well i

figured he got on the screen with the

old heller and left town for his own

good

heller as in donald heller from the boat

rental company helena was here on sunday

night demanding to see that mean fella

said he planned to do the man some

damage something about stealing his boat

yep i thought midnight reason to make

himself scarce

hella can be pretty unpleasant when he

chooses

if clifford minton didn't check out

what did you do with his luggage and all

the other things in his room well how's

keeping packed it all up in his suitcase

when she cleaned his room

got him back here

[Music]

i don't suppose i could take a quick

peek to see what's

inside never mind nice talking to you

seriously ro

i should have waited to come in until

you had a chance to investigate first

i'm sorry i don't believe you i think

you're congratulating yourself for

beating me here i'm sorry i upset you

anyway

make sure you ask him about the owner of

the boat rental company he seems like a

good suspect

[Music]

you signed the contract no refunds for

time not used it's not my problem you

couldn't use it

okay mr heller was just a question

hey

so i talked to the manager at the ridge

bay motel he said donald heller showed

up there and made threats against claude

minton i'm sure he's gonna be a suspect

well he won't be the only one on the

list since sally's out of town i just

called macon at the newspaper to see if

he had any background on clifford minton

turns out there had a big story about

him last year why because he was awarded

alimony big alimony in his divorce from

an attorney in lawrence

an attorney by the name of terry hall

terry hall the woman we met today i

doubt it was a coincidence that her ex

was killed as two miles from her place

you're right donald heller won't be

alone on the suspect list

[Music]

lynn has cliffman suitcase

looks like she's heading to interview

heller

i wish i could be a fly on that wall

minton rented one of my boats on sunday

1 48 in the afternoon he was due to

bring it back at 4 48 didn't show was

anyone else with him not but i noticed

the motel manager said that you showed

up on sunday and made some threats

against mr minton yeah well i thought he

stole my vote is that the conclusion you

normally jump to when a boat doesn't

come back with the renter stolen it's a

conclusion i jumped to with mint and

he'd done it before

so you knew cliff minton before he

walked in here on sunday i used to rent

some boats now and again

fancied himself a fisherman but he got

to where he's keeping the boats for a

week or more not paying up i had to take

in the court to get him to pay what he

owed me so you're telling me that cliff

minton used to drive up here and rent

boats from you on a regular basis he's

already here his wife

ex-wife has a place up the road

cliff minton's ex-wife lives here

yeah

we didn't get the chance to have that

picnic what do you say we set it up on

the deck have a late lunch

mrs miller

sorry

i can't seem to get any cell reception

yeah there's not much in the way of

reception is far from the marina

yeah it's not a big deal

you want to look up the news story i

mentioned about cliff minton's divorce

yes but i don't want you to think that

our honeymoon isn't the most important

thing to me in the world right now look

would it make you feel better if i admit

that i'm curious about watching those

articles too

why is it wood mr miller then let's head

outside and see if we can find a good

spot to get a signal i'll get our coats

terry hall yes chief leggett smith

lawrence police department

[Music]

sergeant you're back yes i don't need to

speak to your boss again

hello sergeant

any news on cliff i'm afraid it's not

good

his body was found this morning in

bridge bay

well

that's a shame

i appreciate you stopping by letting us

know well that's not the only reason why

we're here it seems mr minton's death

may not have been an accident cliff was

killed

the coroner hasn't officially ruled on

the cause of death but out of an

abundance of caution we'd like to do a

quick search of his office take custody

of his computer

that computer's company property you're

not taking it

[Music]

why don't i have the chief of police

come by and explain why we need it fine

have her do that i'll go call my

corporate counsel now and ask him to

meet her here

uh maybe you didn't hear what i said i

heard you cliff's dead possibly murdered

most people have some kind of reaction

when i give them news like that i assume

it would be in bad form to heave a giant

sigh of relief which is basically all

that i feel

is this your son mm-hmm

i was told you and minton didn't have

any children we didn't jacob's a child

from a brief marriage in my 20s

a man who died of cancer six years ago

a man who deserved the tears that i

cried for him

when's the last time you saw cliff

minton

three months ago three months

even though he came to spend the weekend

in the ridge bay area

you gonna tell you he was here

he did he called said he wanted to talk

i told him to talk to my lawyer

end of story

why don't you tell me the beginning of

the story

what began as a pleasant marriage turned

sour

then became a bitter divorce his lawyer

got a judge not only to award him my

house in lawrence in a house that i

bought before the marriage but to award

him an egregious amount of alimony so

egregious it actually made the news

i was an attorney once myself corporate

attorney

but i lost respect for the profession i

quit my job

recently i filed to have the alimony

reduced which i assume is why he wanted

to talk

well it's no longer going to be a

problem now is it

apparently not

we think that he was likely shot while

he was out on a boat on ridge bay do you

want a firearm missile no i have a

distaste for guns do you have any idea

who might have been on that boat with

him anyone he had a conflict with

besides you of course

no

but cliff was a salesman

king of false promises

i always told him that one day he would

come back to bite him

looks like i was right

i'll be in touch

whatever you need

[Music]

not even a hint of a bar hmm

[Music]

looks like she's crying

maybe she just learned her ex was killed

she's not crying

she's laughing

[Music]

[Music]

you having a nice time

oh honey the best time

i love being here with you

oh i can hear the unspoken butt

i can't stop wondering what cliff minton

was doing here with terry so close while

they were still locked in a court battle

yeah maybe

a condolence call on terry is in order

[Music]

i'll go get ready

i knew cliff what

a couple of decades

we worked as alarm installers together

back in our 20s

when i started this company he was the

first guy i called

because you were such good friends no

because cliff knew the security business

inside now and no one could close a sail

like cliff

do you have any thoughts on who might

have killed him

no everyone liked him

well except his ex-wife i suppose

they had a bad time a bit

did he tell you that didn't have to

terry came in here a few times to give

him hack

[Music]

i'm gonna need a list of cliff minton's

clients what for well you say that

everyone liked him others say he was the

king of false promises

that's a recipe for a lot of unhappy

clients

also i'm going to be taking his computer

and searching his office i believe

that's the search warrant you told my

sergeant we needed

[Music]

[Music]

lynn

aida

you are the last person i expected to

see here i'm working on a joint project

with sharon there for the real estate

association

but

she looks like she may not be up to it

today

you haven't heard about the murder

murder one of the employees here was

killed cliff minton they found his body

up at ridge bay yesterday oh awful wait

ridge bay yes and wouldn't you know it

was roe and nick who found the body what

don't worry they're fine

oh

sharon

i know we're going to be working

together i just heard about cliff minton

i am so sorry i appreciate that

it has been really hard everybody here

is so sad hey

so cliff's office is now mine can i get

the key

you should see cliff's office it's

better than slocums

cliff had some good dirt on him

maybe this isn't the right time no i'm

okay i had to put together a cliff's

client list for the police earlier so we

might as well get started okay

any names jumping out at you from

minton's client list not so far it's a

pretty short list for somebody who's

worked there for so many years

but then his boss did say he didn't work

there full time after married terry hall

we're still waiting on the labs to

finish processing the items from indian

suitcase but fishing boat is done

heller's prints are all over it

well that's not a surprise right he owns

the boat he must maintain it well it's

moot anyway blood spatter indicates he

was shot from 10 to 15 feet away with a

32 caliber bullet which means another

boat would have pulled up alongside him

oh i almost forgot you wanted to know

why donald heller's prints were in the

system he's got a record two arrests for

battery and felony conviction for

assault attack some guy at a bar after

he lost a pool game served eight months

there you go heller has a violent

criminal history he threatened the

victim had a contentious history with

the victim a lawsuit accusations of

theft and who knows what else tripped

his hair triggered tempered plus he knew

the victim was on the water and had

access to different boats did we get the

footage back from the marina dock yet

because i can catch heller underway

after minton then i'll have enough to

get a search warrant for him too they'll

get us a thumb drive by tomorrow we'll

keep working on that client list i'm

gonna look into terry hall's

relationship with her ex think i'll head

over to the university see if i can't

get any insights from her kid

i don't think paying a condolence call

to the ex-wife is difficult but i do

appreciate the sentiment especially

since you were so kind to stop and help

my son

and how is jacob i don't suppose he was

able to make it to class sometime

yesterday no but perhaps the death in

the family will make his absence

excusable

see you drink grozny it's funny because

a bottle was left in your ex-husband's

motel room yes well i introduced it to

cliff when we started dating

how long were you married

three years

but it would have been a lot less if i

had my way it doesn't take long to

realize you've married an opportunist

sounds like you think he married you for

your money

not here to pay a condolence call you're

here to fish for information

we did find your ex-husband's body i

admit to curiosity about why he was here

you've apparently read about me in the

lawrence and paper

well i've read about you too miss t

garden

actually it's mrs miller now

whatever your name i know you've had a

hand in solving several murders in

lawrenceton

it's one thing to have to talk to the

police about my personal life but i

prefer not to be under your microscope

as well so if you don't mind you can

make your way out the same way you came

in

we respect how you feel but we'll be

next door for the next few days yes

if you need anything run to the store

grab dinner

[Music]

hey chief

what are you doing on campus today

philip hi i was actually just looking

for the freshman dorm i could have sworn

it was this way uh no it's on the other

side of the quad i'll show you oh

why is terry hall being so dodgy

well i got the sense she's private by

nature and maybe a little embarrassed

that being taken advantage of in her

marriage i don't know

she clearly liked challenging me almost

as if she wanted us to think she's

guilty if that makes any sense yeah a

little

but it would take a longer conversation

to unravel her motivations

i should call my mother

the further this investigation goes the

more likely she's gonna hear about it

when she hears about it she's gonna

learn that we found the body when she

learns that she's gonna worry exactly

forgot no cell reception

well you know we do need another bottle

of wine for tonight

why don't we go to the marina

[Music]

philip you wouldn't happen to know a boy

named jacob hall doesn't sound familiar

room 401 you said yeah yeah kind of

ironic i lived across the hall in 402

when i was a freshman hmm mind if i

watch you do your thing see the master

detective at work oh phillip i'm afraid

even flattery will not get me like jacob

hall

chiefly smith laurenstein pd

he's a student

phillip pifer he's uh criminal justice

major who is just about to go away now

right

sorry

i'm investigating the murder of your

stepfather former stepfather you mean

all right former stepfather i'd like to

ask you a few questions did you talk to

my mom because she might get mad if i

talk to you without a lawyer or whatever

jacob this isn't about questioning you

as a suspect i'm just trying to get a

little background info oh right it's

totally an informal thing she's got to

get a lay of the land for the

investigation

okay well i don't have time anyway i'm

late for my chemistry lab and i gotta go

so sorry

[Music]

you and ro are certainly related

phillip if you ever want to get a job

with the lawrence mpd she just lied to

you chief jacob did about what

i know the chemistry lab schedule and

they don't do labs on fridays

you mean he's ducking me

yeah

okay ed and julie steyer okay

yes they purchased the silver package so

version b of the letter will go to them

okay ooh hold that thought it's my

daughter okay

aurora

i have a bone to pick with you

a bone to pick with me

yes you could have warned me about what

you found up at rich bay

honestly

only you could have stumbled on a body

on your honeymoon a pre honeymoon and

that's why i'm calling you i didn't want

you to worry well too late for that mrs

t garden can i get you a tea oh yes that

would be lovely thank you

i'm in the middle of a project here at

social security

you're doing a project at the victim's

place of employment

regrettably but it has nothing to do

with the murder i don't think

although i am the one who got his boss

to report that cliffman was missing

before his body was found

why didn't you tell me that why on earth

would i tell you that okay but

have you heard anything about cliff

minton in his office are they talking

about who might have killed him i did

hear someone say that this might have

had some dirt on his boss

who is that

russ slocum

at first i took it as a joke but so odd

because he put up with chris shenanigans

which i am here now trying to fix and

then he gave him the biggest office in

this place do you think you can find out

exactly what click might have had on

russ locum aurora i'm not going to try

and be a spy for you

sorry mother i have to go i just spotted

cliff's ex-wife

talking to donald heller

[Music]

[Music]

what was that about i just saw terry

hand donald teller an envelope full of

cash

do you think it was a payoff to him for

killing her ex you better call in tell

what you saw

chief

lab says most of the items in mint and

suitcase are clothes and toiletries

but there's two glasses in the room with

traces of vodka in them that didn't

belong to the motel they lifted two

distinct sets of prints off of them that

don't belong to men

well one was most likely the housekeeper

picked them up

so minton had someone over to his hotel

room for drinks hmm wonder who should i

drive up to ridge bank at the motel

housekeeper's prince

yes ro what is it

i see

okay we'll look into it no thank you

we've got it roti garden is at the

marina at ridge bay she said she just

saw terry hall handing money over to

donald heller wow guess what else

the lab just finished processing

minton's car and they found prince on

the passenger side door handle belonging

to donald teller looks like we finally

have enough to get our search warrant on

heller

[Music]

what is it you people want

why are you handing money to donald

heller that's none of your concern maybe

not but now the police know about it too

good

maybe they'll reimburse me

i paid mr heller for the boat the police

dragged off as evidence

they don't seem to care that he needs

that boat to make a living

why is it your job to pay him for it

why don't you stay out of my business

there's gotta be more to that story

between our rotella and wager there's a

lot more

okay that's it that's the last name on

the list it looks like we're going to

need 22 version a and 16 version b you

know it will start from 10 years ago

i guess i was wrong about everyone being

sad about cliff dying maybe it just

hasn't sunk in yet

or maybe they're all just more jealous

than i thought

mr sulkin let him do things he didn't

let anybody else do you know time off

long lunches so what that fella said

about cliff having something on russ

that wasn't a joke oh no i'm sure it was

but it's just a joke that tom makes a

lot oh

and the first batch of letters should be

coming out of the printer now

okay i'll go get them start signing

[Music]

did you find out what cliff minton had

on his boss

has she been asking questions about this

i am i want mrs t garden out of this

office

now

are you going through my phone

why don't we finish this project

tomorrow

i'll print out the rest of the letters

and then we can meet for lunch so you

can sign them

[Music]

if only i could get online all the

research i could be doing you know the

lack of wi-fi here is not a bug it's a

feature

the police will take care of this case

so why don't we unplug from it and do

something relaxing and vacationy like

the new robin daniels book you clever

husband you let's go read the afternoon

away huh

[Music]

so farce

well because a nosy woman saw something

she didn't understand you brought this

on yourself

you and your fingerprints in cliff

minton's car

do you deny that you were in his car

yeah i was in it when

why sunday when he first came in here i

told him to get lost on account of the

trouble i had even before and i thought

why turn his money down so i went

outside found him in his car he told me

to get in we had a conversation we came

back in here i rented him the boat tell

me the parts you're leaving out like

maybe how you were trying to find out

where he planned to fish so you could

find him on the bay later i was here all

afternoon renting out boats

check my logbook

supposed to say you didn't alter these

times so you could lock up for an hour

take one of your boats out i'd be pretty

dumb to do that considering there's a

security camera pointed right at the

dock oh i'm sure you know other spots to

put a boat on the bay good luck trying

to prove that why was minton's ex-wife

handing you money earlier today you took

my boat

she knew i was losing money why would

she want to help you

i've been asking her that ever since she

helped me file my lawsuit against minton

terry hall helped you sue her ex

she had good reason to want to see him

squirm

after the way he went after her and her

kid with his pack of lawyers

he went after jacob in court

not exactly stepfather of the year was

he

jacob

hey

phillip pfeiffer you met yesterday yeah

you're with that cop

yeah she's actually a pretty good cop

just give her a chance talk to her

or not

it's fine

you could just talk to me

why would i want to do that

to help find out what happened

my cousin ro and her husband were the

ones who

found her stepdad

so

of course they want to know what

happened

she's staying next door to your mom and

trying to talk to her yeah we should

tell her to stop bugging my mom or

she'll have to deal with me

well

okay

it's cool

just uh

have a good day

all right

[Music]

mom

hey

it's me

well

dinner's almost ready

i was just getting to the really good

part those steaks i'm grilling are about

to be the good part trust me oh i trust

you

how i trust you

how's your steak um

you weren't kidding

yeah

you're such a good cook i'm so lucky

thank you

what i just i want to remember this

moment forever

[Music]

we're not safe here

over there okay stay low

[Music]

bro we can figure this out

bro nick

are you okay

that's scary it could be a trap

please open up

i call them please

stay here

watch out for the window

[Music]

oh

thank goodness you're both okay

i was on my back deck i heard the shots

police should be here any minute

[Music]

did you see or hear anything at all

outside before or after the gunshots we

were having dinner we weren't focused on

what was happening outside and after the

shots we were just trying to stay alive

someone meant to kill us or scare you

donald heller

you said he was angry that i'd called

you about seeing terry hand him money it

wasn't heller

we've had him under surveillance since

yesterday

i'm more interested in how terry got

over here so quickly after the gunshots

occurred she called the police but that

doesn't mean she wasn't the shooter yes

there's all kinds of psychological

reasons why someone who commits an

offense is the one who calls the police

yes and a big one is to cover for

themselves

i'm gonna go and talk to her you two

stay in the motel tonight i'll have a

guard posted outside your door thank you

chief the bullet's a 32 caliber

the same caliber that killed cliff

minton but not necessarily the same gun

we won't know that until we find the gun

and the killer

[Music]

i guess our honeymoon's over

time to head back to lawrence tomorrow

you okay with that

i thought we weren't gonna make it

we just got married and i thought we

were gonna die

miss hall you told me recently that you

had a distaste for guns yes so so i was

confused because when you heard the

gunshots you ran towards the danger

rather than away from it and here i

thought you'd be hailing me as a hero

for calling the police oh no we're very

grateful that you called us yeah you

stand here asking me why i came to help

my neighbors

question you still haven't answered

it's true what they say no good deed

goes unpunished

i heard the shots i was worried they

might be hurt i called the police and i

came over here to check on them how did

you know you wouldn't be placing

yourself in danger because i saw someone

run into the woods

you saw someone run under the woods all

the way from your house that's right

can you describe them male female it was

too dark to make out any features oh yes

it's very dark outside and yet you saw a

figure running away from a very good

distance and i heard footsteps too

you see miss hall

i'm not a big believer in coincidence

and there have been two shooting

incidents that occurred in very close

proximity to your house your lawyer as

you know we call that opportunity

and while you say you don't own a

firearm do i believe you

maybe it's just a matter of finding it

we call that means

then there's the fact that the person

who was killed nearby just so happens to

be your ex-husband a man whose death

would have benefited you both directly

and indirectly that's motive

what you don't have is proof

call your lawyer miss hall tell them to

meet us at the lawrence police

department tomorrow for official

questioning

[Music]

room 137 the room cliff minton was

staying in before he got shot i wish i

could go inside and what would you be

hoping to see a signature item belonging

to the killer sticking out from under

the bed bro

someone clearly doesn't want us looking

into cliff minton's murder any further

since when has that ever stopped me or

us

oh hey um if you don't mind my asking

how long have you been staying here in

this room about a week two more to go

while we get our kitchen renovated and

did you happen to meet the guy who was

staying in this room last weekend

no i work weekends do you recall hearing

anything coming from that room during

the night an argument anything like that

no like i said i work weekends as a

bartender which means you work nights

yeah

you could talk to my wife she keeps

complaining the walls are too thin but

she works days so

thanks anyway

[Music]

[Music]

terry hall and her lawyer will be here

in 20 minutes it's footage from the rain

of the day mitten was shot

this is mitten here the face is in good

focus but those are the clothes that he

was wearing when his body was found

he leaves here at 1 57 p.m

obviously alone

looks like quite a few more boats leave

over the next few hours

yeah

i want you to zoom in on all those boats

see how many registration numbers you

can come up with

i eat a tea garden

aida if you have questions about the

gunshots i'm afraid we don't have any

answers for you yet gunshots what

gunshots

at the ellison cabin last night what

you didn't know

don't be too concerned rowan nick are

fine

aurora had left a message saying they

were coming back early but she never

mentioned gunshots what happened there

were four shots fired from outside

through the window likely to scare nick

and rowe oh how can you be so sure that

they were just trying to scare them well

we can't be sure exactly do you think

russ spoke is behind

we don't know who's behind it yet but

why would

slocum's name be the first that came to

you because i caught him on my phone

without my permission looking at a text

from aurora asking me about the rumor

i'd heard at slocum regarding cliff

minton's having some dirt on him

and then he just kicked me out of his

office

i see if he believes rory that's right

to him he may have been the one to fire

those shots if he did we will prove it

and we will prosecute

in the meantime thank you for this

information about russ welcome okay

[Music]

russ slocum made you get a warrant to

get mitten's computer from his office

didn't he yeah but i don't know i think

through such a fit there wasn't anything

on it except emails purchase orders

things like that unless locum thought

there could have been something on there

does he have an alibi for sunday

afternoon uh he says he was playing golf

here in lorsten i want confirmation of

that from the golf course then after we

interview terry hall i want you to go

back to slocum and print him and

everybody else who works in that office

if we're lucky we might be able to

identify who minton was having a drink

with the night before he was shot and if

we're very lucky we might find out what

slocum had to hide

[Music]

look i don't deny that there's more than

enough motive for me to kill cliff

but there is zero motive for me to harm

the couple next door i mean yes they're

a little nosy for my taste but then so

is everyone else in this area

i found an arrest report on your son

jacob with the county juvenile court but

it was sealed

did you pull some strings with the judge

to get that report see jacob was 17

during the worst of our divorce

he was very angry and one day he

followed cliff into corinth and he

smashed the windshield of cliff's car

with a tire iron

cliff called the corinth police

luckily the d.a agreed to let jacob be

diverted to an anger management program

and drop the charges so jacob has a

violent temper you have no idea what

cliff has put jacob through

enlighten us for the entire first year

of our marriage

cliff earned jacob's trust and then he

betrayed it again and again

and now jacob thinks the whole world is

an awful place because of cliff he's

been terribly damaged

damaged to the point where he might have

wanted to seek revenge

you want to play the suspect game with

me over cliff's murder that's fine

i'm the one who chose to marry the man

but jacob didn't choose him jacob is the

one innocent person in all of this

so just back off him

am i being charged with anything here

[Music]

and i think we're done

there you are oh i was so worried um but

how come i had to find out from lynn

that someone shot at the two of you

instead of from you i'm sorry mother

that's not the way we wanted you to find

out i'd suggest going out of town for

safety's sake but i suppose that's how

you got into this mess well we do leave

for paris in a few more days do they

have any leads on who might have fired

those shots not yet but i'm sure lynn

will find out the truth well i am

staying far away from slocum security in

fact i'm canceling my lunch today with

russ locum's assistant

wait don't cancel mother in fact i'd

like to go with you aurora no that is

the last thing you should do or it's the

best thing she could do

the sooner we know who's behind all this

mayhem the sooner roe will be safe

nick

you have a vexing talent for putting

things in terms with which i cannot

argue well i'll try to use it sparingly

in the future

i hope you find out something worthwhile

i've got to go take care of something

oh

uh

meet you back here later then

just give me a minute and i'll be ready

to go okay

jacob

jacob hall

hey jacob

glad i spotted you

i've uh wanted to make sure you didn't

get drunk from that class you were

worried about um i don't know i mean not

that i know of

okay i've reconsidered and i want to

make good my wife's offer to speak with

your professor

i don't care my life is gonna suck

regardless sucks since my mom married

cliff

i'm sorry to hear you've been going

through such a hard time

i wish you'd never given him the time of

day

he acted all cool and slick but

underneath

it was all an act

it's painful to learn that people aren't

who they present themselves to be you

lied about everything

tell my mom he helped me with my

homework when he didn't tell me pick me

up from school and then never show up

and then when my mom wanted a divorce he

lied to the judge about my mom saying

that she did things that she didn't do

such as

saying that she was hiding money in my

name

it was my money left to me when my dad

died but cliff took half that wasn't

right no

nothing's been right since well except

for cliff being dead i'm glad he's gone

and you know what

that you a lot of other people are too

[Music]

so mr slocum has already signed the

letters uh once you sign them you can

drop them with me and i will make sure

that they get in the mail oh well

frankly i'm not too keen on going back

to that office

get your boss practically kicked her out

what was that about

yes he did overreact a bit but if you

look at it from his point of view

someone in our office was just murdered

which is horrible enough and then the

police start showing up twice a day oh

that's not unusual in a murder

investigation

i don't know what's usual i i just know

that mr slocum is very protective of his

business his staff

well isn't it a staff that said cliff

had some kind of dirt on him sharon

believes that the staff repeated the

dirt rumor but but in a joking way yes

uh mr slocum did let cliff get away with

a lot but it was mostly because they

were like brothers i heard them laughing

together all the time

it is impossible to imagine mr slocum

killing cliff

cliff definitely caused russ grief with

clients with the way he would make

promises that he couldn't keep

so why keep cliff

is it true that cliff had some kind of

blackmail information on him

whatever it is you're not telling me

will come out eventually

it always does

and it usually doesn't end well for

people who obstruct justice

whenever cliff would get some vodka in

him he would say how he knew how russ

got the money to start this company

and it wasn't from breaking open his own

piggy bank stolen money cliff and russ

were installers

so they knew exactly how to get past the

security systems in the houses of

certain wealthy clients so they rob

their customers that's the way i took it

but then again

cliff was full of it half the time

so maybe you just made up that story

who knows no that is not going to happen

you can forget it

i'm not just going to let you walk in

here and start fingerprinting me and my

staff mr slocum this is about ruling out

your staff if i was born yesterday you

want prince get a

warrant you

thank you

so you can't imagine russ slocum killing

cliff so who do you imagine did

sharon is obviously not comfortable

making that conjecture and i wouldn't be

either yes but sharon you worked with

cliff for a long time right

almost five years then you must have

seen glimpses into his life

knew who he was close to knew who he had

problems with well i do know he had

terrible problems with his ex-wife i

overheard some of their arguments what

did you hear

well i know all couples fight i've been

disappointed by love myself i know it

can be painful but

terry hall is a cold woman

very vindictive and unstable

do you know what cliff said she did to

keep him from getting their house in the

divorce

she doused it in gasoline and set it on

fire

thanks for coming on such short notice

this case seems to be getting harder for

the police to solve instead of easier

yeah not to mention more dangerous man

those gunshots have to be so scary yeah

pretty shocking i thought the cabin

would be idyllic for you i'm so sorry

that happened oh if we assumed the

killer was the same person who fired

those shots at us it wasn't donald

heller he was under surveillance at the

time he's lin's top suspect right

yes but i don't think we can rule him

out just because he couldn't have been

the one who shot at us

i personally saw him take money from

terry hall

and he told lynn terry helped him file a

lawsuit against cliff

so you're thinking she could have hired

heller to kill her ex then fired those

shots at you guys yourself according to

sharon patterson who worked with cliff

at slocum terry has a history of

instability said she started a fire to

prevent cliff from getting her house in

the divorce now i haven't been able to

confirm that the news reports on that

fire said the evidence was inconclusive

well she certainly has the most obvious

motive to kill cliff

she'll save a ton on alimony

revenge for wrongs she feels done to her

and to her son could be an even more

powerful motivation and if mitten went

up there to irritate her or taunt her

it's not a stretch to believe she may

have snapped or her son could have been

the one to snap i talked to jacob today

he carries a lot of anger toward a

stepfather i see him on campus i could

try to talk to him again and i can try

some of my colleagues at school see if

they have some insights on him well i

think russ locum could be the one

because of the rumor cliff had dirt on

him

sharon said she didn't believe there was

much truth to that i've got to know

charlie hurt a bit lately sergeant heard

yep he told me a guy in sales that

slocum thinks there's truth to that

rumor according to this guy cliff

claimed to have helped russ locum steal

that money to start his company that's

pretty good dirt on top of that slocum

absolutely refused to be fingerprinted

by sergeant kirk you know that sounds

like guilty behavior oh charlie also

said that slocum's alibi on sunday

playing golf by himself is questionable

there's a five-hour gap between the time

he went out on the course and when he

got back solo game doesn't take that

long

well it might if you drive up to ridge

bay in the middle of it that's some

impressive scoop you got from sergeant

heard davis why don't i go buy slocum

tomorrow say i'm researching security

systems for my house and see if i can

get any kind of truth out of them great

and i'd like to head back up to ridge

bay tomorrow morning i want to ask

around the marina see if there's any

more to terry's relationship with heller

could you wait till the afternoon i'm

really not comfortable with you going up

below well i have to head up first thing

in the morning to meet the insurance

adjuster at the cabin to go over the

damage the shots cost

we could go together

good

and we have a plan

to move closer to the truth and solve

this case

well no one we've talked to is that

they've seen terry hall and donald

heller sitting over coffee together but

i'm gonna go down to the docks talk to a

few more people

well i'm supposed to meet the insurance

adjuster in 10 minutes but i'll come

back and pick you up

wait i know that guy

he was in the motel room next to cliffs

excuse me

hi do you remember me my husband and i

talked to you yesterday at the ridge bay

motel right you were asking about the

guy who's staying next to us oh my gosh

cliff minton i read about him in the

lawrence and paper he was shot out on

the bay

oh i'm jenna by the way brandon yeah i'm

aurora this is lizzy hi

jenna brandon said that he was working

the night before cliff was shot and you

were the only one in the room yes and i

wish i hadn't been i had the hardest

time falling asleep with all the noise

next door what kind of noise did you

hear uh voices yelling a pretty big

argument by the sound of it

do you think this has something to do

with him getting shot maybe you should

definitely call the police and tell them

about it

this argument you heard was it about

money or business or was it more

personal i couldn't hear the words but i

remember thinking it had to be a lover

squirrel the woman was yelling even

louder than the man

it's a woman's voice

thank you so much for being a big help

sure you guys have a good day you too

bye

are you thinking what i'm thinking cliff

minton having an argument with the woman

here who else could that be butt tario

you are going to make an excellent

addition to the real murders club lizzy

so the lab identified the prince on the

drinking glasses left in vinton's hotel

room

terry hall

it's not evidence of murder but it is

evidence she's a liar she told me she

hadn't seen minton in months i have to

show you something i've been working on

identifying vote registration numbers

you see this boat here

i can't see who got in the boat most of

the slips are out of frame but it left

less than an hour after cliff mitten's

boat left and came back

just 20 minutes later

that's not very long

were you able to zoom in and get the

registration number yeah it's registered

to a company called th consultants right

i remember that from our list of slip

renters i looked it up it's a legal

consulting business owned by terry

hall get a search warrant on terry

hill's cabin i call the judge and make

sure he signs it

okay

i know you're chomping at the bit to

talk to terry but i just need ten

minutes with the adjuster i'm gonna

wander over there while you chat

hi

[Music]

she leaving

[Music]

what are you doing here

i was hoping we could talk

terry

bro

what are you doing here she headed that

way as soon as she saw you

check upstairs

terry

terry

[Music]

she's not up here

she must have gone outside

she was looking in that drawer there

just before you pulled up

it's a good thing i have a search

warrant

[Music]

32

of course what do you want to bet that's

the gun that killed cliff minton and

fired the shots at nick at me

[Music]

copy

[Music]

pinging terry's phone won't do any good

it's sitting on the coffee table there's

no cell reception up here anyway

the county sheriff is helping put

together a team to do a grid search plus

i have officers up the university

picking up her son we'll find her you're

certain she's the one who killed cliff

minton we have video proof that a boat

registered to her company went out onto

the bay not long after minton

ballistics comes back positive on the

gun then yes motive opportunity means

plenty of physical evidence it's a

perfect case

does it strike you as a little too

perfect

terry is highly intelligent why let the

gun sit in her hallway when she knows

she's a suspect

i'd have an easier time believing she

was framed than to believe someone that

smart would make such dumb mistakes

framed come on ro

you caught her in the act of removing

the gun from the drawer

or

did i catch her in the act of putting

the gun in the drawer wait wait

are you suggesting that terry would

frame herself

why would she do that i can only think

of one reason

to cover for the guilty party you're

about to say her son if he's the one who

killed cliff

she might believe the best thing she can

do for jacob is to point the blame at

herself but she was leaving she was all

packed up and ready to go why do that if

she wants to take the heat i don't know

maybe she doesn't actually want to go to

prison she just wants the heat on her

and not jacob

[Music]

thanks for meeting me here sure i was

going to talk to jacob anyway where'd

you find out no i was in the main office

talking the demon two officers showed up

said they have orders from lynn to pick

up jacob well

uh what his room's this way

apparently lynn found a 32-caliber gun

in terry hall's hallway but she wasn't

able to make it arrest because terry

took off and disappeared oh man so

you're thinking she might have got in

contact with him

jacob

you're packing up i hate this place i'm

out of here why are you leaving jacob my

mom's picking me up so please just leave

me alone

there's one problem with your theory

remember what cliff's neighbor at the

motel said cliff was having an argument

with a woman the night before he was

killed yes and we've placed terry in

that room with her prince on the glasses

that cliff left behind okay so

maybe terry did have a bad argument with

cliff

maybe jacob was with her or

was close enough to overhear it okay bro

would you just stop

look i don't have time to go down a

rabbit hole of complicated theories with

you so why don't you pack up your real

murders club

mystery solving puzzle kit and call it a

day i have a search to finish

arthur would at least hear me out

you're right

he would

he's been friends with you since high

school and he is a good friend he also

knows how carefully i've studied actual

murders and he respects my opinion

you think this is about respect

bro i know how good you are at solving

these puzzles you might be the best

there is it actually is amazing how good

she is at it

i know i'm new to this but already she

has

[Music]

arthur thinks cracking a case is

puzzle-solving too so he's open to

working with you his

puzzle-solving buddy

but that is not the job

the job is to collect evidence in a

lawful manner and build a case that will

stand up in court nope

you used to wonder why you and i can't

be friends

it's because a friendship with you is a

luxury that i cannot afford

not as long as i'm chief of police and

responsible for making sure that

evidence doesn't get thrown out and that

murderers don't walk free because you're

in a hurry to put your puzzle together

so excuse me

while i finish my job

[Music]

she did make some really good points she

did but if she doesn't want to look at

the puzzle how can she tell when the

pieces don't fit

i still can't reach row you said

yourself it's hard to get a signal up

the ridge bay it's bothering me that

terry still hasn't been found though

maybe jacob was right and she's on her

way here we should hang out near his

dorm in case she does show up it's not a

bad idea i'll have to leave that to you

i'm heading back to ridge bay

[Music]

[Music]

[Music]

bro hey

wait a second

i just found this glass in terry's

living room there's one of a set of four

you know how i know that it matches the

glasses you pulled from cliffman

suitcase the ones with terry's prince

exactly which forces me to ask

why leave your own glasses in that room

almost like a calling card

so ro's theory about terry framing

herself isn't so far-fetched as much as

i don't want to admit it yes this is

looking more and more like a frame job

but i was thinking terry framed herself

after jacob confessed to her that he

shot cliff

those glasses were left in that room the

night before the murder that would mean

it was a premeditated frame job in

anticipation of a premeditated murder

well it seems like the only way to find

out if that's true is to find terry

maybe there'll be something in her house

that will tell me where she went

but if

you come up with any other ideas while

puzzle solving

let me know

we have to get to the marina so i can

call nick okay

[Music]

you're on your way up i'm halfway there

now

jacob is convinced his mother is on her

way down to get him but she doesn't have

a car her phone her purse how would she

get there well she'd have to meet a

friend or at least find a phone within

walking distance of her cabin i think i

know where terry could find a

sympathetic someone heller good thinking

but if you want to go talk to him please

don't go in alone

wait till i get there i'm with lizzy

it'll be fine

all right

be careful love you love you too

[Music]

let's go talk to donald heller what why

is this what we do

oh i know exactly who planted that gun

in my living room

cliff must have made spare keys to the

cabin and boat before we split up and i

tell you you ought to change those locks

i was a fool not to listen

i'm not such a fool i can't guess who he

gave those keys to

i need to get jacob make sure he's safe

and then i'll figure out how to prove it

take my truck

thank you

you're such a good friend

terry you can't leave

the police suspect you're being framed

you just have to give him a chance to

sort it out well i'm not taking that

chance

i can't let you do that

if terry can prove who framed her she

might be in danger from that person

okay if you really want to help her you

would let me talk her into turning

herself into the police i'm ro i think

it might be too late

[Music]

that's sharon patterson

i'm going after her

call the police

we have to catch them we have to do it

joe this is crazy we should call lynn

and have her handle it terry can be dead

by then

i'm gonna haul them

oh i hope i don't regret this

[Music]

i do regret this so much call nick

[Music]

hey chief

911 dispatchers on the radio they say

it's urgent

hey ro should be there in five minutes

oh then you're headed straight towards

us

sharon patterson has a gun she forced

terry into a truck and took off

rose chasing the killer nick shouldn't

she stop

[Music]

uh why don't i try to block the world of

my truck i just passed mile marker 88

where are you uh wait

uh mile marker 92. okay i'll drive one

more mile and then i'll block the best i

can with my truck okay oh that's not

going to work

i'm gonna follow him

[Music]

no what are you doing why are you

following me

you keep ruining everything i just wanna

help you sharon she told me she was

gonna shoot me and make it look like a

suicide well that plan's out the window

now because if you shoot her you're

gonna have to shoot me too and lizzie

reincard she's in the car lizzy show

sharon you're here i can't

i'm on the phone hang up the phone now

i have to go hurry

and there's my husband you'd have to

kill him too sharon

sharon why don't you put down the gun

and we can talk this through it's too

late for talking but we haven't heard

what happened between you and cliff

why the two of you are arguing in his

motel room on saturday night that was

you wasn't

it was awful

she was cliff's little helper at slocum

doing all his paperwork running errands

for him

i told him that she had a crush on him

no i was this friend that's all

at least until after the divorce

i know how he operates sharon

how he flirts with you makes you feel

like you're the most fascinating woman

in the world to him

so you barely notice when he starts

asking you to do things that are just

not quite

is right what he did sharon

he had me fake amounts on purchase

orders and other things

i thought he cared about me

i thought we were building something but

then when he invited me to the motel on

saturday night you found out the truth

he said he could never have a real

relationship with me

said he couldn't risk

losing his alimony

but what he really wanted was for me to

break into terry's cabin for him

what did he want you to do

find bank statements or anything that

could help him in court

he wanted me to check her boat too and

see if she was hiding anything there

he handed me the keys a stupid boat

he talked me into buying that for him

when we were married how ironic that

that's what you used to go after him

with

knowing that he was just using me all

along

turning me into something that i didn't

want to become

i've never felt so angry or so

humiliated

i understand that much

he used me too you don't understand

anything

you are the reason that he became so

cruel no sharon don't do this

[Music]

drop the gun sharon

get your hands in the air i need to see

your hands

[Music]

that is the second time you almost

killed my husband it's okay ro we got

this

[Music]

all right thank you

so sharon just pled guilty to cliff's

murder the attempted murder of rowan

nick as well as terry's kidnapping

i can't believe i spent hours side by

side with a murderer and i never

suspected a thing

it's a good thing rowe figured out you

were being framed terry she also figured

out how to find you at donald teller's

place

it was terrifying but amazing

i do have to admit that if roe had not

put the puzzle pieces together sharon

may have gotten away with not just one

two murders she wouldn't have gotten

away with it

i have no doubt the case you were a

building would have put sharon behind

bars

thank you

you saved my mom's life

both of you and you saved ours by

calling the police yes and we're

grateful terry

yes and now you have a plane to catch

let's go yes

your chariot awaits

[Music]

any leads on his whereabouts as soon as

we know anything i'll let you know

you've got to help me find him when an

investigative reporter you could use my

help ask the wrong questions maybe

someone was desperate to get whatever

was back she becomes the story

you put yourself in harm's way if i was

targeted all the more reason to find
