Where are you?

This is the third time you stood me up.

This was supposed to be settled weeks ago.

You know, either you make good on your promise,

or I assure you I will make good on mine.

Clinton.

Lucia.

Oh, I'm sorry, I didn't mean to interrupt.

My sister.

Just confirming weekend dinner plans.

I'm glad I caught you before you left.

The reporter from The Tribune will be here at 1:00 tomorrow,

and I've assured him you'll be on site to answer any questions

about the Turan and Atunis.

I'm in Lancaster tomorrow.

Oh, this takes priority.

They really are quite spectacular.

Admission pre-sales have gone through the roof

since the announcement of their arrival.

Not a bad return on investment.

Can't put a price tag on history.

Well, apparently you can.

It's five million.

[laughs]

How about I buy you a drink as a thank you?

I uh, I was planning on sticking around.

I have some work to catch up on.

-Another time. -Yeah.

We're talking with Jessica Anders,

a college student majoring in library science.

And Jessica has an unusual problem.

She says she's never been in love.

I've done my share of dating,

but I've never had that all-consuming,

butterflies in your stomach feeling like in the movies.

Do you watch a lot of romance movies?

[laughs]

I just find them... reassuring.

That idea that there's someone out there for everyone

and you're destined to find them and get your happy ending.

[laughs]

You think I sound unrealistic, don't you?

No.

Real love may not be like in the movies,

but that doesn't mean it can't be just as wonderful.

And I'm a sucker for happy endings myself.

[laughs]

And cut!

Oh, is it over?

For now.

Next I look for your matches, and then the real fun begins.

[laughs]

You did great.

Thank you.

Got it in one.

Fantastic.

I want to try to have lunch with my dad at The Oswald Museum.

Wait, because you've heard such good things

about the food court?

[laughs]

No.

They've been dealing with some thefts recently.

Employees reporting items stolen out of their offices,

and my dad is going to look into it.

Uh...

[stammering] I... I thought he's retired.

I know, but he's friends with one of the board members

and they called in a favor, so...

Remember we've got a Q and A with our first bachelor at 1:30.

The fireman.

I'll be here.

-Don't be late. -Bye.

♪

Lucia: Thank you for coming.

We'd like you to investigate the theft of all the items

that have gone missing from the museum.

Things like watches, cell phones, a camera, just to name a few.

All in the last three weeks.

Huh. Personal effects?

-Mmm. -Nothing from the exhibits?

Not yet.

But I fear whoever's doing this may become emboldened.

I've included staff files and schedules,

and I've asked security to pull the footage from the last month.

Oh, that sign belongs at the west entrance.

Turan and Atunis. Mythical Etruscan lovers.

Oh, yes.

It's our newest acquisition.

We're unveiling it at a black tie event tomorrow evening.

Very cool.

Oh, if you have a moment

I'd like to introduce you to Doctor Jennings.

His watch was the first item reported stolen.

I know he's very anxious to get it back.

Hmm. Do you mind?

It's fine. Sure.

Great. Right this way.

So when exactly was the watch stolen?

Three weeks ago.

I know it was a gift from his father.

Hoping he can give you some more information.

[knocking]

He's usually in his office by now.

Wait.

[muffled scratching sounds]

I hear something.

Sounds like... scratching?

Hello?

Doctor Jennings?

Angie: Chopin. The Complete Nocturnes.

That's an odd choice for the morning.

Hmm. Unless it's been on all night.

Nick: Call 9-1-1.

Clinton!

Get help!

Doctor Jennings?

Is he...

He's gone.

[exhales]

Do... do you smell that?

What?

I'm... I'm not sure.

Almonds?

Connect me to Detective Carter.

Kyle?

But he's homicide.

The coroner's waiting for confirmation from the lab,

but due to the pink lividity in the skin

I'd have to say that your hunch was right on, Nick.

Hmm.

And you.

You've got the nose of a bloodhound.

[laughs]

The smell of bitter almonds is the characteristic sign

of cyanide poisoning.

Not everyone can detect that odor.

You're one of the lucky few.

[laughs weakly]

Well, it's not exactly something I can whip out at parties.

Wait. You said that the victim reported

an item stolen recently?

Museum has been dealing with a rash of thefts.

They suspect one of their employees is behind it.

Doctor Jennings was very vocal about involving the police.

Do you think this could be revenge?

-It's definitely worth noting. -Yeah.

Why don't you stick around for a little bit,

just in case I have a few more questions?

I wasn't planning on leaving yet.

Well, that doesn't surprise me.

It's good to see you.

It's been a while.

-Thanks Kyle. -Yeah.

What do you say we get some coffee downstairs, huh?

Sure.

No, no.

Ma'am, no, you cannot be in here.

Hold on. What's going on?

She wants to take some evidence from the scene.

That laptop is museum property.

What laptop?

Doctor Jennings's laptop

contains research that belongs to The Oswald.

We didn't recover a laptop, did we?

No.

What times did Jennings get to work today?

Uh, I don't know.

But his assistant Myra might.

Okay. Where can we find Myra?

I'll show you...

♪

Excuse me.

[gasps]

I'm sorry.

Didn't mean to scare you.

Um, you can't be back here without authorization.

Oh.

Ah.

Detective Carter.

Are you Myra Tolin?

Yes.

I've just got a couple questions for you.

I've been working in the lab all morning.

I wasn't scheduled to meet with Doctor Jennings

until this afternoon.

Okay.

I'm sorry.

I think I just need to sit down.

Just take a seat right here.

Just take a breath. It's okay.

I just saw him last night.

What time?

Around 7:00.

He told me to go home.

He was planning to do the same.

Okay.

We've also been looking for his laptop

and we can't find it anywhere.

Does he always bring that to the office?

Yes.

It has all of his research on it.

And what about his cell phone?

-You can't find his cell phone? -Uh-nuh.

Went straight to voicemail.

If it's poison the police will need to narrow down the trail.

See if it's targeted or accidental.

Do you think this could be related to the thefts?

It's hard to say.

But if they're also items missing from his office...

Paige: Angie!

I've been calling you.

The fireman's been waiting at the studio for almost an hour.

He's threatening to walk.

I'm sorry, Paige. Something came up.

What could possibly be more important

than our first bachelor?

Wait, wait. Is that...

A dead body?

There was a murder.

What?

Alleged.

Miss Dove.

Um, Detective...

Carter.

-Hi. -Hi.

He said that you are free to leave,

um, but he might follow up with you later.

Thanks.

Wait, why would he need to follow up with you?

I may have... been there when the body was found.

Again?

You act like this is a regular occurrence for me.

You said she's free to go, right?

Oh yes, ma'am.

We might make it to set in time if we ignore most traffic laws.

You didn't hear that.

Oh, yeah. Hear what?

Okay.

Ange, I'm going to stay behind and see if I can help.

-Okay. -I love you.

I love you too.

Breakfast tomorrow?

-You bet. -Okay.

Coat check. I'll be right back.

♪

There's a security camera at the end of the East Wing hall.

It'll give us a clear shot of Doctor Jennings's door.

Um...

What's going on?

I'm trying to call up the feed but it's not here.

For which camera?

Uh...

All of them.

Go back farther.

I am.

[sighs]

There must be some mistake.

Three weeks of security footage, gone.

Oh man, we lost the fireman.

Crew couldn't convince him to stick around.

I liked him too.

Maybe we can reschedule.

[sighs]

Hang on just a second.

[sniffling]

Hey, I'm Angie. Are you okay?

[tearfully] I'll be fine.

Hey um...

[tearfully] I'll be fine.

Here.

Thank you. I'm Myra.

I'm sorry about Doctor Jennings.

Were you with him long?

We weren't together.

Oh no, I didn't mean...

You were his assistant, right?

Oh, yes.

Um, for about a year.

That's a beautiful necklace.

Thank you.

Was it a gift?

Um, family heirloom.

Why don't you hang onto them?

Thanks.

That was interesting.

Who is she?

That was Jennings's assistant,

and she was very quick to deny she was dating Jennings

even though I didn't bring it up.

You think she's lying.

[scoffs]

There was definitely more to their story

than she's letting on.

Why would she hide it?

That's a very good question.

♪

[sighs]

What now?

After the autopsy he'll be released to the family

for any services that you plan to hold.

Our father passed last year.

I'm the only family Clinton has left.

I'm sorry.

When was the last time you spoke to your brother?

Six, maybe seven months ago?

But you work in town, right? At the university?

Did you have a falling out?

Clinton was brilliant but difficult.

Arrogant.

He had very little time

for those who didn't benefit him directly.

Did he have any enemies that you know of?

Maybe somebody that had a vendetta?

Have you checked his little black book?

He was always running around

with some young woman on his arm.

He'd get bored with one and move onto the next.

He left a long line of women in his wake.

Hmm.

Any names?

Sorry. I wish I could be more help.

Well, thank you for coming down Doctor Jennings.

Oh, hey.

Any luck with that Oswald security footage?

Wiped clean.

They're saying it was some kind of software glitch.

Okay.

Let's get it down to forensics.

See if they have any luck with it.

You got it, boss.

♪

[knocking]

Good morning, Detective.

Oh, hi.

I was expecting your father.

We were just sitting down for breakfast.

Come on in.

Uh... Yeah. I can... I can come back if this is a bad time.

Why would it be a bad time?

Because you're... about to eat?

Dad thought you might drop by. We made extra waffles.

Syrup or no syrup?

Uh... syrup.

All right.

Mmm. That's so good.

What is that... orange maple?

-Good right? -Mmm.

Mom sent it.

She's at a wellness retreat in Maine.

They tapped their own trees.

Wasn't that nice of her?

Want some?

No, I'm good, thanks.

All right.

Let's get down to business, shall we?

The coroner confirmed the cyanide.

Hmm.

Said that there was alkali burns

in Jennings's gastrointestinal tract.

Any idea what he ate?

Hmm. There was cookies at the scene,

and there was a cup of coffee half full,

a bottle of ibuprofen in the desk.

We sent everything to the lab,

we're just waiting on the results.

Did you find Jennings's laptop or phone?

No, no. But we are searching his house right now.

His assistant seems pretty adamant

that we're not going to find it.

Myra?

Myra Tolin?

Hmm.

How do you know her?

We chatted briefly.

And you think she's not being honest about the laptop?

I don't know about that.

But I think she was involved.

In the murder?

No, no, with Jennings.

Romantically.

[clears throat]

Well, she did not say anything in the interview.

Well, of course not. He was her superior.

Obviously it was a very covert affair.

Very hush hush.

[sighs]

And, uh, what did you base that on?

Fifteen years of professional experience.

She's always been very intuitive.

I'm rarely wrong about these things.

[laughs]

It's my job to read people.

So I've heard.

[laughs]

[clears throat pointedly]

For example, sir.

Your body language is telling me that you are annoyed.

Well you hardly need a degree in psychology...

You were halfway here before you realized

you'd left your watch on your nightstand.

How could you possibly know that?

I told you.

I have a sixth sense about these things.

Also the slight tan line on your wrist didn't hurt.

All I'm saying is, I don't know, make a note.

Talk to Myra about dating Jennings.

[laughs]

Happy?

Deliriously.

That makes three of us.

[laughs]

Thanks Nick.

You know, it was the way she touched her necklace

that raised my suspicions.

I mentioned Clinton and her hand shot right to it.

Like... like she associated it with him.

Hmm.

A gift, maybe?

I don't even think she knew she was doing it.

It's probably her tell.

-Everyone has one. -Yup.

Like how you squint when you think someone's lying to you.

What?

I do not do that.

Yeah. It's like a squint, eyebrow raised thing.

Very subtle, but...

Why have you never mentioned that before?

I can't give away all my secrets.

Ahh.

Anyway, you seem pretty convinced

that she's behind the murder.

No. I just think she knows more than she's letting on.

You know, things get complicated when passion is involved.

Is that so?

All I know is, they were involved.

Okay. I'll check it out.

She's on the list.

Good.

Hmm. Yeah.

Uh, Derek?

Yeah?

Nick Columba.

I'm looking into the thefts at The Oswald?

I'm sorry, I have class in about 10 minutes.

Lucky for you I only need five.

Now you reported a stolen camera 10 days ago?

Yeah, my DSLR. It was brand new.

Took me three months to save up for that.

[whistles]

That's a high-ticket item to leave unattended.

I thought it'd be safe in Doctor Jennings's office.

Clinton Jennings.

Yeah.

Did he tell you I forgot to lock the door?

Because I promise you I didn't.

He blamed his watch on me too,

but I'm sure you heard all about that.

Doctor Jennings is dead.

Dead?

Yeah.

[clock chimes]

I'm really sorry, I'm going to be late.

Well if I have any more questions,

can I find you at the museum?

My internship just ended last week.

So I gotta go. Sorry.

I hope I haven't kept you waiting long, Detective.

Oh no, no problem at all. Thank you for the time.

Our newest exhibit opens tonight,

and recent developments have added complications.

I can imagine.

Unfortunately the show must go on.

The Turan and Atunis exhibit.

That's what Doctor Jennings was working on?

Yes.

Clinton was our senior historian and exhibit specialist.

He was instrumental in the museum's acquisition

and verifying its provenance.

Provenance?

The history of ownership of a work.

A complete provenance helps us guarantee authenticity.

Okay.

Now, Doctor Jennings's time of death

put him in his office around 10:00 PM.

He told his assistant that he was going home early that night,

yet he stayed.

Do you have any idea why?

He told me he was working late.

Did anybody else know he would be in his office?

Not that I'm aware of.

Oh, his sister Natalie Jennings.

He called her to make dinner plans for the weekend.

♪

Miss Jennings?

You got a minute?

Detective.

I already told you, my brother and I haven't spoken in months.

I have nothing left to say.

Well a coworker claims to have walked in on the two of you

having a telephone conversation around 7:00.

He or she must have misheard.

Would you be willing to verify your phone records?

I'll show you right now so we can clear this up.

Okay.

See? No calls after 5:00.

Will that be all, Detective?

Uh... It'd still be okay for us to contact

your provider though, right? Just to double check.

I really don't see why that is necessary, but yes.

Okay, great. Thanks. I'll be in touch.

So, for Jessica's first date, I was thinking...

Thank you.

Ah. Something like this.

Red always makes a statement.

True.

And statistically men do find women in red more attractive.

But I think for Jessica we should prioritize comfort.

She's going to a nice restaurant,

not cleaning out the garage.

Wait a minute.

Wait a minute. Is this a Berzano?

This show can't afford designer dresses.

Relax.

Stella got them for next to nothing.

They're fakes.

See? Berzan-a.

No way!

Yeah. Knockoffs are getting so good

it's impossible to tell anymore.

Can we use these on the show?

Is it ethical?

Stella said knockoffs raise brand awareness.

Eh, that sounds like a spin to me.

[sighs]

So that's a no on the Berzan-a.

What do you know about provenance?

Capital of Rhode Island?

Never been. Heard it's nice.

No, provenance.

It's basically the art world's defense against knockoffs.

It's what Clinton Jennings was working on

when he was murdered.

Here we go again.

Angie's one true love, a murder mystery.

I just wonder if the two things are connected.

I mean, Doctor Jennings wasn't just poisoned.

His laptop was taken.

So you think whoever killed him was after this report?

Maybe.

I just wish I knew more about it.

You know, my dad has been interviewing people

at the museum.

I wonder if he knows somebody who could help.

Probably.

Hmm.

Yeah.

Game over for Philly.

Oh, come on.

There's nothing in there. I went through them all.

Still, I'd like to see.

Oh, oh, my apologies.

I didn't mean to disturb you.

♪

Here you go.

Oh.

Thank you.

Derek Holland, right?

I'm Angie Dove. Nick Columba's daughter.

You spoke with him about Clinton Jennings.

Would you be willing to let me pick your brain?

About Doctor Jennings?

Actually about the statues of Turan and Atunis.

Oh... sure.

Great.

Um, what do you know about the report that Doctor Jennings

was working on, on the statues?

Well, The Oswald Museum bought the two statues

from an art dealer,

and Doctor Jennings was to review the provenance

and draft a report.

Fraud is a real concern in the world of antiquities.

You'd be surprised how many respected establishments

get duped by fakes.

Really?

But Doctor Jennings confirmed the authenticity of these?

He did.

Um, he inspected the statues at the dealer's gallery

before the sale, and all of the paperwork that came with it.

And he was convinced they were the genuine article?

Yeah, yes, um...

Hmm.

Do you happen to know the name of the art dealer

who sold the statues to the museum?

Um... Beaucamp and Asprey.

Yeah.

Great, thank you. Thank you for your help.

No problem.

One more thing.

Are you seeing anyone?

Miss Dove, I'm flattered, but...

Oh, not... not for me.

Are you familiar with my show, The Matchmaker?

"Angie Dove will find you love."

There it is.

You helped me out. I'd love to return the favor.

Oh. Um...

I don't know. I, uh...

Well, if you change your mind, there's my card.

Thank you.

Think about it.

Hmm.

The thefts reportedly occurred after close,

and offices would be locked.

Well, museum gets shipment at all hours.

It just means we're dealing with an opportunistic employee,

not a guest with sticky fingers.

Um, George?

You got a pen on you?

Um...

Oh.

[laughs]

I see.

How long did you say you were on the force?

-Thirty years. -Hmm.

Those unlock all the offices?

Uh, yeah. Offices, labs, exhibit halls.

Oh. There we go.

You know, I think you're wasting your time.

It's just a lot of finger pointing.

Let's see here.

I know Betty Willis is stealing my yogurts from the staff fridge

because I see the lids in her trash bin.

Hmm.

You mind if I take these?

All yours.

-Thanks George. -Sure thing.

Yeah.

Here we go. Beaucamp and Asprey.

Dealers of fine art and antiquities since 1978.

That painting would look amazing in my living room.

It's $50,000.

Oh.

On second thought, it doesn't go with my rug.

[laughs]

I mean, they look legitimate.

But how much can you really tell from a website?

Exactly.

Wait a minute.

The Etruscan exhibit opens tonight at the museum.

I'll bet Beaucamp and or Asprey will be there.

Probably.

And if we were also there,

then we could ask them about the statues.

What are you suggesting?

Grab the Berzana.

[quietly] Hi.

Doctor Jennings would be so proud.

He made all of this happen and he's not even here to enjoy it.

Well he left a legacy behind.

That's something.

I suppose.

It's just hard to believe that anybody

Intriguing coincidence.

Turan is the Etruscan goddess of love,

That sounds like a line.

Maybe it is, but also happens to be true.

Well, I heard that you were the one responsible

for getting these fabulous statues to the museum.

Indeed I am.

It's just a precaution.

Your safety is the utmost importance to us.

Hey. So were those all the cookies?

Everything we had was on the buffet table.

How's Paige?

Paramedic think she's in the clear.

Good.

I can't believe this is happening.

I don't know if this means anything,

but I saw a woman arguing with Simon Beaucamp

about Clinton Jennings.

Uh... Do you know how Clinton Jennings

got a box of the cookies two days ago?

The bakery delivered them early

and they delivered more than we needed,

so I gave a few of the extra boxes to some of the staff.

But Clinton wasn't one of them.

Okay.

And what's the name of those staff members?

Sam Garrett, Patricia Reynolds, Carmen Dioppe,

and Myra Tolin.

♪

♪

[knocking]

Other cookies got the all-clear.

Looks like it was just the Jennings box.

Which means it was deliberate.

Oh, Myra Tolin is waiting in room 2.

[sighs] All right.

So Miss Ricci gave you the box of those

little Italian cookies, right?

Want to tell me how they ended up in Jennings's office?

I gave them to him.

When?

The day they arrived, I left them on his desk.

Why?

You're not a fan of cookies?

Um... I'm diabetic.

The cookies are loaded with sugar.

Hmm.

Am I a suspect?

I just need to talk to everyone.

Have you spoken to Derek?

Derek...

Holland.

He's a graduate student at Hearst.

Um, he worked with Doctor Jennings on the exhibit.

He wasn't at the museum when we interviewed the staff.

That's 'cause he was fired a week ago.

Fired for what?

He was supposed to be helping with the provenance,

but Doctor Jennings was dissatisfied with his work.

Derek took it pretty hard.

They fought about it.

So you think that Derek may have been involved

in Jennings's murder because he was kicked off the team?

Uh, no. I...

I think he may have been involved because the cookies

came from his family's bakery.

♪

How are you doing?

Looking for Derek Holland.

Maybe this icing will be easier?

I don't know.

No!

This is terrible!

Hey Derek?

Miss Dove?

Cinnamon bun?

They're really good.

Why are you here?

I'm interviewing a potential suspect.

What, wait, you think Derek has something to do

with Clinton Jennings's murder?

Isn't that why you're here?

No!

I'm trying to find him a match.

This okay?

We can talk here.

Uh, yeah.

So.

I'm just going to cut to the chase.

Where were you on the night of the 4th?

Uh...

I was in class until 6:00 and then I went home.

Okay. Straight home?

Yes.

No.

Uh... Which is it?

I got pizza at Gino's.

Hmm.

Did you pay with a card?

Cash.

Okay. Can anyone confirm this?

Uh, the cashier? It was really busy.

You might still have the receipt.

I can look.

So a week before Doctor Jennings's murder,

you were fired.

Fired?

They said that you weren't meeting expectations at work.

He did let me go, yeah. But that's not why.

As part of my work for Doctor Jennings,

I was helping with the provenance

and I started to notice inconsistencies.

And when I first told Doctor Jennings about it,

he was responsive.

Even grateful.

But when I brought it up again he got defensive

and accused me of sloppy research.

Hmm.

Did you think he was hiding something?

Maybe.

But Doctor Jennings was the type of person

who didn't like to be questioned.

Especially by some lowly grad student.

That was a pretty prestigious placement, huh?

Could've led to a full-time job at the museum.

Must've been quite a blow.

No sense dwelling on what I can't control.

-Thanks. -Uh-huh.

You don't really think that Derek could murder someone?

I mean he makes puff pastries.

I think your feelings are clouding your judgement.

And what's wrong with seeing the best in people?

Oh, nothing.

In your line of work it's probably an asset.

For me, uh... looks can be deceiving.

That's awfully cynical.

It's just the way it is.

Well, I believe in giving people a chance to surprise you.

I got a surprise for you.

Remember after our last murder case

I promised to take you out for dessert?

Did you?

I... I mean I guess technically you did.

[laughs]

You want to buy me a cinnamon bun?

I'm more of a traditional donut guy.

Because you're a cop? Cops like donuts?

-Pretty much. -Yeah.

How about tonight?

Tonight? No, I mean uh, I can do... Thursday?

Yeah, Thursday works. 8:00?

It's a date.

Uh?

-I mean, not a date. -Not a date.

It's just a dessert.

Right.

All right. I'll pick you up.

Andrew, tell me.

What are you looking for in a woman?

Shared values.

Someone I can take home to my mother.

Aw, that's very sweet.

Describe your ideal date.

Maybe a walk on the beach, and then I could cook dinner.

You cook?

I make a mean shrimp scampi.

My mother has a great recipe.

Aww.

You two seem very close, you and your mother.

Oh.

[laughs]

We're close, but we're not that close.

We live on completely separate floors in the house.

You have mail.

Matches or murder?

Murder.

For now.

I should really get another board.

Oh.

A-ha!

I tracked down the photographer from the exhibit opening

and I got him to send us copies.

How did you manage that?

I promised we'd hire him

to shoot next season's publicity shots.

I forwarded you his quote.

It's a little high.

That's a lot of suspects.

They all wanted Clinton Jennings dead?

Well, I don't know.

This is Myra Tolin, Jennings's assistant

and probably secret girlfriend.

I mean, could heartbreak be the motive?

Jealousy?

Derek Holland.

He was fired a week before the murder,

so he had an axe to grind.

Simon Beaucamp,

the art dealer who sold the statues to the museum.

If Jennings uncovered fraud

it would be very costly for Beaucamp.

And there's one more.

A-ha! Yes!

I saw this woman arguing with Beaucamp

about Clinton at the museum.

Well who is she?

I don't know.

But I know who might.

Yes. Lucia Ricci, please.

Miss Ricci, it's Angie Dove.

I wonder if you could help me identify someone.

Doctor Jennings?

Uh, do you have a moment?

I'm Angie Dove.

Miss Dove.

I must admit I was very surprised to receive your email.

My show is always looking for Philadelphia's

best and brightest to showcase on the program.

And, you know, we've never had a botanist.

Well, I hate to disappoint,

but I do not require the services of a matchmaker.

I was just making some tea. Would you like some?

Sure.

Do you take milk, sugar?

No, thank you.

Huh.

Please don't touch that!

Sorry.

That's Cnidoscolus stimulosus.

Contact with the skin results in a painful sting

and lingering rash.

This pretty little flower can do all that?

Looks can be deceiving.

For example, that purple flower over there is Wolfsbane.

It contains a neurotoxin called aconitine.

Very deadly.

Hmm.

Thank you.

[sighs]

Oh, it is still a little hot.

How is it?

Nice.

Um, chamomile?

A hibiscus blend.

Oh, yes, it does have a bit of a floral undertone.

It does.

Now, why are you here really?

[laughs]

What do you mean?

Let's not play games, Miss Dove.

You were at the exhibit opening

asking questions about my late brother,

and now you're here at my office with a very flimsy cover story.

Well, I thought it was pretty good, but...

You're right.

I came to ask you about an argument you had

with Simon Beaucamp.

Simon and I were discussing a personal matter.

Do you mind me asking what that personal matter was?

I do.

Oh.

Good tea.

Are these your parents?

They are.

My mother passed 10 years ago.

It was very hard on Clinton and me.

I'm sorry.

That's a very striking necklace.

It's a family heirloom.

Clinton always loved it.

My mother left it to him.

You know, on second thought I would like some sugar.

Do what?

Pull a rabbit out of a hat?

I never thought we'd find someone for Jessica.

Ye of little faith.

I had plenty of faith.

What we didn't have was viable suitors.

Yeah.

Well, sometimes you gotta improvise.

Wow, um, I love that book.

Really?

Do you... do you read a lot?

Yeah. Actually, I'm studying library sciences.

Oh, my goodness. I work at a library.

-Really? -Yeah.

No way.

Yeah. You should come by sometime.

Okay.

We have some pretty good books.

Yeah.

Staff's not bad either.

Cheers.

[laughs] Aww.

[laughing]

They are so cute.

Yeah.

Want to grab drinks?

Rain check.

Hello.

Hey.

You know, you take an awful lot of risks

for somebody who doesn't carry a badge or a gun.

[laughs]

I guess I'm lucky I have you to back me up.

So I'm closing up this case file

and I've got a couple loose ends I want to run by you.

I'm always happy to help.

Okay.

Are you hungry?

Uh, yeah.

Frank & Carla's on 5th?

They have the best Philly Cheese Steaks.

[sighs] So good.

And great desserts.

Ah, I see what you did there.

[laughs]

-Yeah. -It's Friday night though.

I really doubt we're going to get in there.

Oh, please.

Who do you think introduced Frank to Carla?

Of course you did.

Let's do it.

Okay.

How did today go?

Oh, great. Another match.

Ooh.

Yep.

You're batting 1000.

Of course.

There we go.

Thank you.
