FAITH:
Previously, on Will Trent...

FRANKLIN: How long
has this been going on for?

25 years.

FRANKLIN: Do you really want
to be in a relationship

with someone who reminds you of
the worst times of your life?

I need a favor.

I want you to talk
about your mom.

I was five the first time
she pimped me out.

- That was a lot to ask.
- It just

made it clear to me
why we don't work.

All we do is remind each other
how broken we are.

ORMEWOOD: I should not
have been in that position.

I just wanted to say
that I'm sorry.

Also, I never told anybody
about us.

Actually, you can tell me
why you're doing this to me.

Putting you
with my best agent?

FAITH: Handcuffing me to this
strange man.

I've known you
your entire life.

Will can take you
to the next level.

You're going to the school
without me, aren't you?

Yes.

[electricity crackles]

This... This is why
you keep me in the loop.

You did okay.

Thank you for saving
my life today, Faith.

[shaky breathing]

You're okay now.

I got you.

We'll figure this...
[sobbing]

Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey.

- I got you.
- Come on. Come on.

Let's get you back

Come on.

That's the third

I'm sorry.

I'm sorry!

AMANDA: Randy Cordett,
mayor of Oakmeade.

One gunshot
to the shoulder,

second to the head
was fatal.

Then they set
his boat on fire?

That's dramatic.

You think someone's
making a statement?

- Maybe political?
- Or it was ghosts.

It's Lake Lanier.

They stole land,
dug up cemeteries,

or just plowed over them.

And for what?

A tourist spot?

You build a lake over a town
full of Black folks,

you're gonna get a haunted lake.

True, but I need
you both there.

Are we on good terms
with the sheriff in Oakmeade?

She's new,

but I'm hoping less
of a racist pain in the ass

than the last sheriff.

Enjoy the road trip.

Betty likes
a little bit of pumpkin

- with her kibble.
- Got it.

But you gotta make sure
that you mix it well, or else,

you know, she'll just move
the kibble aside

and just only eat
the pumpkin,

'cause she's a smart girl,
aren't you?

- Mm-hmm.
- By the way, whoa.

Make sure that she gets
at least one long walk,

but not too fast.

Did you know that
the leading cause of death

amongst all the Chihuahuas
is heart disease?

Do you want to just
take her with you?

By "these streets,"
do you mean the campus library?

I don't want to see
another mediocre grade, Jeremy.

Will, how are you doing

Not good.

Where do you even find
a cup holder for dipping sauce?

Ma, you skipped

Okay, but ghosts?

How can there not be?

driven myself.

You probably hit a rock.

No, this is my

Fine!

Pop the trunk.

I'll put on the spare.

Actually, I want you

FAITH: Yeah, no. Will.

Will, we're driving
on the spare.

How?

It's not mess.
This is beautiful.

OTIS: Look, ma'am,
I'm real sorry,

but folks around here
don't drive these tiny cars.

Now, I can get you one

Got over five grand

Just out in the open, huh?

Trust me, brother.

They're safe.

WILL: This out here,
this is you, too?

This is a gold mine.

I restored my '73 Targa.

It would have been much faster
if I had half of this stuff.

Hey, I heard what happened
to the mayor.

That's wild, huh?

Yeah, me and Randy,
we grew up together,

all the way up through
high school.

'Course, he got elected
and did what they all do...

screw the working man, right?

FAITH: He won his reelection
by a considerable margin,

though, didn't he?

Well, yeah, but that's just
'cause people are sheep.

Not me.

settled around the edges?

♪

Yeah, sure.
So what?

The gravel
isn't embedded.

That means someone hit your guy

it sent him sailing,
and then, thud.

ANGIE: Hey, thanks
for coming in, Mr. Parnell.

So why don't you, uh,
tell us what you saw?

So I'm doing my outside check
of a new apartment building...

it's gonna be nice,
by the way...

but I told them
I'm not going up inside,

not 'til the building's
done passing code

and the windows are in.

And look what happened.
You see what happened?

No, why don't you finish
telling us what happened?

Well, John...
that's the other guard,

- the one that died...
- Uh-huh.

I hear John yell
for someone, "Stop!"

So I look through a hole
where a window's gonna be,

I see this idiot spin around,

a bunch of copper plumbing
slung over his shoulder.

Idiot?
Why an idiot?

'Cause he was an idiot.

One of the pipes knocks John
right in the head,

sends him flying out
the window...

or where the window's gonna be,

- you know.
- Right.

Then the guy runs out
the building straight at me.

[scoffs] I didn't move,
and he says "'Scuse me."

Now I done seen the idiot's face
and heard the idiot's voice.

Great.

Thank you so much.

We'll have you look
at some photos now, okay?

Thought you'd be happier
about an easier solve.

"I'm coming for
Will Trent's record."

I don't sound
like that.

Look, I need to...

Do you want to come over
to dinner tomorrow night?

No.
Why would I...

Is your wife
gonna be there?

Of course she is.
It was her idea.

Somebody invite me to dinner,
I'm going.

- You should go.
- Shh.

C-Can...
Does she know that we...

No, dummy.

Why would she invite you
to our home

- if she knew we had sex?
- I...

No, she just wants
to get to know my new partner.

- That's all.
- No.

Oh, I'm very glad GBI is here.

You know, we don't see this
kind of thing very often.

Occasional B and E,
kids out drinking.

That's about it.

However we can help, Sheriff.

And thank you for having
the boat brought here.

Oh, of course.
And please, call me Josie.

The ME said
the shot to the shoulder

was from
a long-range gun?

That's right.

Excuse me.

FAITH: So, this is the mayor's
private dock.

Surprisingly nice.

Lake Lanier's tranquility is...
a contradiction.

[scoffs]

Mayor was on his boat.

The shooter was out here
somewhere on land.

Why so far?

They're experienced.

Over-confident that
they'd hit their target.

But the first shot
didn't kill him.

♪

There's blood here.

Faith!

Sheriff, would you bag this?

the killer's blood?

Running with adrenaline.

They didn't even notice
they were cut.

You know what, Faith?

Come at me like you
want to kill me.

Gladly.
[chuckles]

WILL: Okay.

So the killer boarded the boat.

The mayor was fighting
for his life.

They fight, they fight,
they fight,

then the killer
shoots the mayor, bam.

Leaves the dead body
hanging off the boat.

Like a warning.

Well, that's quite a jump.

It's a thought.
You aske...

Didn't he just ask
for my help?

WILL: It was the blood.

The killer realized their blood
was all over the boat,

and so they...

Come on. So they...

Burned the evidence.

Very good.

right now?

Amanda asked me to mentor you.

There's still DNA on that nail.

That's who killed the mayor.

Whew, talk about
over-confident.

Oh, you have no idea.

WILL: Do you know if
your husband had any enemies,

political or otherwise?

Uh, someone's always

pitching a fit

or the high school
teaching Anne Frank,

killing a man over.

Any recent visitors?

Arguments you may
have overheard?

I-I'm sorry. No.

If you think of anything,
anything at all,

give us a call.

Um, it...
it's probably nothing,

but maybe a week ago,

somebody left a...
a toy on our doorstep.

It was one
of those little cars

that kids race
with the tracks.

This was, um,
a station wagon, orange.

With wood paneling?
Oh, my gosh.

Hold it down, Deputy.

Sorry.

So you found a toy car
on the porch.

Did that seem strange to you?

The toy, no.

Just kids, probably.

But Randy, he got so upset,

He needs to watch
his blood pressure.

Start of the season,

a lot of eager folks
with no experience.

Great.

I knew that car
sounded familiar.

I made some calls to confirm.

There was a case there
30 years ago...

involved an orange

Was it a homicide?

Three.

A couple and their teenage son.

Minding their Black business
one Saturday afternoon...

Fourth of July weekend.

And the whole family
was killed?

In their station wagon.
[sighs]

The case was never solved.

Should have been open and shut,

but the sheriff back then,
he just looked the other way.

Sheriff Miller, you didn't hear
about that case?

I was a baby
when that happened,
