Why is there
a robot in here?

We'll get there, Valerie,
I promise.

But let's start with
why we tracked you down.

We have some questions

about Cliff Roland.

GILL:
He worked at Mojave
Kinematic Designs.

They specialize in robotic AI.

It's also where he killed
this man, Robert Cuevas.

Cliff confessed to beating him
to death with a robot arm.

Yeah, that robot's arm.

What does this
have to do with me?

Cliff Roland is dead.

He died in a car accident

after confessing
to killing Robert Cuevas.

GILL:
We found a camera
in his totaled car.

The film had been ripped out,
but there was a bit of film

stuck in the gears.

So we developed it.

That's you and our pal Ocho,

on the floor at MKD.

Now's the time to tell me
about your relationship

with Cliff Roland.

Mm. Your file looks pretty thin.

WILLOWS:
That's because

there's no record of you
in Vegas.

Or anywhere, for that matter.

You're a ghost.

GILL: And on the night
of the murder,

you signed in as a visitor
at Mojave Kinematic Designs.

I met Cliff at a bar.

He thought the factory
would impress me.

Or something.

It got weird when he started
taking pictures of me,

so I ghosted.

Happy?

No, I'm not.

(plastic rustling)

This clipboard belonged
to Robert Cuevas,

but these fingerprints...

GILL:
They're not Robert's.

Or Cliff's.

Or anyone else from MKD.

We don't have you
in our system.

But we were able to
get DNA from the prints.

If those prints belong to you,

that makes you
accessory to murder.

Now, do you want
to tell me the truth

about how you know Cliff Roland?

Or do I need to get a warrant?

Good luck with that.

CHAVEZ:
She knows we're bluffing.

If we could get a warrant,
we would have.

ROBY:
This is not her first rodeo.

Hair tied back, hasn't
touched the table.

She's not
giving us anything.

She's giving me a strong
"Max was right" vibe.
Mm-hmm.

The murder at MKD.

Our suspect's car crash.
The stolen film.

There's too many holes
in that file.

ROBY:
And she has all the answers.

We could arrest her
on that fake ID.

Try and wear her down
with a 72-hour hold.

I know her type.

Won't work.

You got another idea?

I just might.

♪ ♪

(camera clicking)

(groans) He's been here a while.

Meet Dirk Cantor.
Co-owns the fitness studio,

Body By Libby,
with his wife, Libby.

Body temp says he
sous vided for 36 hours.

Don't let the crispy skin
fool you,

he's medium rare
on the inside.

That's a long time
to cook in public.

Oh, place is closed
on Sundays.

They left the steamer on.

Coroner thinks it
was a heart attack.

It's pretty common in
the steam room-- Oh.
(alarm ringing)

Oh, Catherine.
We got to go. Go.

What is that?
That was my
phone alarm. Go.

(sighs)

Steam goes off every
three minutes, I timed it.

Keeping our crime scene
intact, eh?

Well, they clean it daily,

which is perfect
for prints,

but turn the steam off,
they'll dry up, so...

LIBBY:
Excuse me?

I'm Libby.
Dirk's my husband.

This is my daughter.
I'm Ella.

Can we...
see my stepdad?

LIBBY:
Please?

I...

It doesn't feel real.

I'm so sorry for your loss.
Unfortunately,

we can't allow
access right now.

As soon as the crime scene
is released,

we'll find you.

Until then...

Uh, yeah, it would helpful

if you could keep
the place closed.

Y-You said "crime scene."
I don't understand.

Are you saying my Dirk
was murdered?

WILLOWS:
We don't know.

But until we do know what
happened Saturday night--

ELLA:
Saturday?

We thought he went hunting
with my fiancé Warren,

up on Spring Mountain.

Warren didn't call to say
that Dirk was a no-show?

I'm gonna need
to talk to Warren.

We never talk
when he's on Spring Mountain.

The reception is--

We tried to call
when we found out.

I-I'll try again.

Hello? Warren.

No, uh...

Who is this?
Josh Folsom?

Who are you?

H-Hand me the phone.

Josh, it's Catherine.
FOLSOM: Catherine?

WILLOWS: Yeah.
Where are you?

I just got to a scene
up on Spring Mountain.

Victim is a Warren Lopez.

Looks like a hunting accident.

Is Warren okay?

Uh, um, sorry.

Um, he's gone.

I'm so sorry, Ella.
Warren? He's dead too?

WILLOWS:
Yes. He was shot.

FOLSOM: Catherine?

Catherine, what's going on?

I really don't know.

Do you believe in coincidence?

So our dead guys
knew each other?

Yep. Two deaths.

One unlucky family.
What are the odds?

Hunting accidents are rare,

but Warren's not
wearing fluorescents

during peak hunting season.

And Dirk was last seen
overexerting in a workout class

before entering the steam room.

So it's safe to say that he was
fit enough to tolerate the heat.

So we're treating both scenes
as accidents?

Until the evidence says
otherwise,

we're gonna process
two suspicious deaths

as suspicious deaths.

Sounds good, boss.

Hey.
Hey, so Beau is collecting
prints inside the steam room.

I'm gonna get some prints

from those lookie-loos.

I think they
might be chatty.

ROBY: You know, uh,
Allie seems to think

that Warren's death
reads as an accident.

All signs so far point towards
a tragic coincidence.

There is no such thing
as coincidence.

Newton's third law.

Nothing happens
without force...

or an explanation.

That last part,
that was Finado's law.

WILLOWS:
Yeah.

Well...

Hate to burst
your bubble, Beau,

but coincidences do exist.

They're a pox on
a criminalist's house.

Coincidences make you

second-guess yourself.

They conflate your understanding
of the evidence.

They defy logic.
I hate them.

But that doesn't mean
they don't exist.

Sorry, Catherine, my scientific
mind will not accept that.

What?

WILLOWS: You're eating
the crime scene.

The mints are
complimentary.

Ow!

That's not a mint.

That's a... That's a hard candy.

Hard taffy, specifically.
It's not bad.

Okay, here's
the small particle reagent

for the prints.
We don't have all day here.

Leaving the schvitz every three
minutes is slowing me down.

Steam be damned.

I'm going in and
I'm staying in.

(groans)
(alarm ringing)

You going in?

Mm-mm. The hair.

(camera clicking)

(alarm ringing)

(steam hissing)

(sighs)

(alarm ringing)
(steam hissing)

(grunts)

Oh...

Dirk didn't pass out.

He struggled.

(alarm ringing)

(groans)

Come on.

(distant rifle shot)

It's hunting season.

Don't be like
our guy Warren here.

Thanks.

(grunts) Boy...

Wildlife had
a field day on him.

Is the gunshot wound
still intact?

RAJAN: Yeah, still in there
waiting for us.

Could be .308.

That round's got
lots of energy,

but the wound is tight.
Likely shot from a distance,

30, 45 yards.

Sear line shows
a right-to-left entry.

So, where was
Warren standing?

Uh... (sighs)

There's blood
here on the ground.

There's blood on his pants.
So he was standing

when he was shot.

(gunshot)

The pool and the wound are both

facing northwest,

so the sear line means
the shooter aimed due south.

RAJAN:
Which means...

we'd find our shooter that way.

Just this way.

Yep.
(distant rifle shots)

Oh, I see prints.

FOLSOM:
Oh.

We're 43 yards from Warren.

Nailed it.

I'm counting like, what?

20 prints here?

(gasps) Jackpot.

There's a casing.

FOLSOM:
It's a .308.

Nailed it again, Al.
The shooter was here.

RAJAN:
Okay, this is a lot of prints--

ugh-- in mud.

You mixing or pouring?

You're shift supervisor,
you get dibs.

Oh. You know I don't
care about all that.

Your rank is just
a formality.
I could tell you,

Level 1 paychecks are not
a formality.

They're teeny tiny.

And I'm a man
with a horse to feed.

Fine, I'll pour to make up
for your starving horse.

Oh. Dennis is fine.
I'm the one eating ramen.

(laughs)

♪ ♪

FOLSOM: Our last print.
But what is it?

Mm, could be some kind
of hunting equipment?

Maybe.

Hey, uh, are your
molds drying?

It's cold out,
but they're drying.

Eh.

Okay.
They're not drying.

(chuckles)
Sorry, Al.

We have to take them
back to the lab,

let them dry there.

Oh, but dirt's so heavy.

A-And dirty...

(chuckling)
(groans) Fine.
I'll get the shovels.

I hate mud.

GILL:
Okay. I'm just gonna say it.

If you're bringing paperwork
into a steam room,

you're working too hard.

I don't know.

Maybe that's why he
had a heart attack.

ROBY: Was it a particularly
stressful document?

I don't know yet.

Looks like it was
handwritten,

but the ink's run.

So ESDA will give us
pen impressions.

It'll just take
about a day to dehydrate.

I know.

I look great, right?

Yeah. But... why?

Oh, you're looking at Melanie,

the newest brand hostess
at Lady Luck Staffing.

That's where Valerie
Hammond works.

You don't miss a thing.
Oh.

Oh...

You're gonna work with her
and get her to trust you--

It's one of my many gifts.
As you know.

So, you are gonna need this
to get Valerie's DNA.

If you need DNA, why not
just go through the trash?

ROBY:
'Cause we need
more than DNA.

Valerie knows the truth
about how and why Cliff died,

so Serena's going undercover
to get some answers.

And you, my friend,
are going to be

her point person here

for DNA at the lab, okay?

If that's what you want,
awesome.

All right.
Go get 'em, Elfie.

Look at it this way.

At least this time you know
I'm undercover.

(upbeat music playing)

Let's go, everybody.
Ten more.

You think someone here
killed Dirk?

That's why you're
taking my prints?

I saw you watching
the crime scene earlier.

You and Dirk were...

We were in love.

I'm not a bad person.

No judgment here.

I wanted Dirk to stay
with me this weekend,

but he insisted on going
hunting with Warren.

FINADO:
All right, we're taking
elimination prints.

Everybody line up here
for your turn.

Thank you.
You don't care for Warren?

He borrowed money from me
for a business venture

and then blew it all on Ella.

I mean, what am I saying?

Warren was a good kid.

Kendall, girl,
don't lie.

Warren was shady
and so was Dirk.

It's no surprise somebody
wanted those men dead.

Uh, switch hands, Mister...

Twist.
Full name, Twist.

You think Dirk and Warren's
deaths are connected?

They were villains.

Snatching my 1:00 p.m. class
from me like a bad wig

to give to Libby

after I made
that time slot popular?

I got it back, though.

Imagine what else
they got up to.

Or who else they pissed off.

And how did you get
your time slot back?

By being the best.

We done?

We done.

Thank you.
Next.

(whistles)
RAJAN:
Okay, I'm here.

Figure out what caused

that weird cylindrical
impression yet?

I'm thinking a scope case,

and I'm sourcing some
for testing.

You mind taking
your boots off?

(chuckles)
Okay.

Mm-hmm.
Uh, that bullet casing

we found in the forest...
Uh-huh.

...lands and grooves say
Remington 700,

but the shooter's ID
remains a mystery.

No match in NIBIN.

What if I told you

that I can paint
a picture of our shooter

using mud
from the crime scene?

Mud is transitory, it changes
with weather and time.

And that is where the National
Weather Service records

from two days ago

and humidifiers come in.

You recreated the mountain's
weather conditions.

Nice.
(chuckling)

Put these on for me?

Mm. Okay.

All right,
I need you to step

into this very,
very special tray

of bespoke artisanal mud
that I've handcrafted

so we can compare
your impression

with the shooter's.

Take my hand.
I'll help you in.

Hey, you even got
the same brand of boot.

You're brilliant.
Well, that remains
to be seen.

But at least
we can narrow down

the hunting license
record demographics.

There we--
Whoa, whoa, whoa.

Easy now.

Just a few steps,
and then plant it.

Nice.

I got you.
(sighs)

Mm.

Someone's not been
exfoliating.

Well, I had to take
the sugar scrub

off the grocery list,
you know.

BOTH:
For Dennis. (laughing)

This is fun, right?

Like old times.

Yeah, it is.

Okay, that's been
a few seconds.

(grunts)

All right.

So...

Your print is just
a few millimeters

shy of the mold depth.

Oh, so we're looking
for a little fella.

Or a little lady.

FINADO:
I've sent the prints
from the steam room

ahead to the lab.
Look, look at that harvest.

I mean,
I got to believe

that Dirk had a mystery guest
in there with him.

Or they were all left

by one man struggling
with a heart attack.

You're still
Team Coincidence?

WILLOWS:
Coincidence is a naturally
occurring phenomenon.

They spring up sometimes.
Like volcanoes.

Or... mustaches.

(forced laugh)
BYSTANDER: Fire!

Whoa!
(shrieking and clamoring)

Out the back!
In the locker room. Go!

Let's go! In the locker room.
Everybody out! This way.

WILLOWS:
What just happened?

I-I don't know.
The window broke

and then there was smoke.

(sighs) Okay. Okay,
we're clear. We're good.

We're good.
You're okay, Mama?

Yeah.
It sounded like

someone threw
something inside.

They're trying to kill us.

Whoa, whoa, whoa.
Who's "they"?

Warren told me
Dirk borrowed money.

A lot of money.
Not from banks.

Okay, the two of you
wait in the back.

We will get you
police protection,

and get LVPD over here
to watch the place.

But you have got
to shut the gym down.

Of course.
Okay. We will.

You still think the deaths
aren't connected?

(sighs)

Hey, boss. Get this.

Catherine said
I'm probably right.

Yes, it's true.

I did say that.
FINADO: See?

Heard you all had
a little drama over at the gym.

Everybody's fine.
But the evidence suggests

that we're looking
at linked murders.

I-I think someone

wrestled with Dirk--
the only question is

did they also
shoot Warren?

Okay.
So this is evidence

that their deaths
are not linked.

County deputies
dropped it off

downstairs and they say

it belongs to a woman
who says she shot Warren

while hunting
on Spring Mountain.

And the gun?
Looks like a match.

Same as killed Warren.
A Remington 700.

I was just
starting to think

that Dirk and Warren's deaths
were connected.

Well... think again.

RAJAN:
Netty, you understand

that you don't have to be
here without an attorney.

And you're volunteering
that you shot Warren Lopez

on Spring Mountain
last Friday?

Yes, ma'am.

It was an accident.

I just have to get this
off my heart.

What happened?
NETTY:
I was tracking this gorgeous

five pointer all day
when I finally saw him.

But the sun was set.

And I know it's against the law
to shoot at night, but...

...I couldn't let him go.

So I lined up my shot...

...double-checked my target,
secured my backstop.

The buck moved behind a thicket,

but I kept my eye on his tail.

And then I took my shot.

(distant thud)

I tracked the buck
to that thicket,

and when I pushed through,
that's when I saw legs.

I shot Mr. Lopez.

I don't know what come over me.

I just hightailed it
out of there.

You did the right thing.

Coming in.

I owed it to his family
to tell the truth.

I'm really very sorry.
I'm so sorry.

(sobbing)

WILLOWS:
I have to admit

I prefer arresting folks

who are a bit more...

Nefarious?

I mean, that little fire
at the studio had me convinced

that Dirk and Warren were
being targeted

by someone with a vendetta
against that place.

The fire could have
something to do

with Dirk's death,
but you're right.

The evidence has only
shown one thing so far.

Yeah. A never-ending
run of bad luck.

Yeah.
My God.

Two husbands dead,
on the same weekend?

Those poor girls.

At least
they still have each other.

For now.

Oh.

It's just that...
(chuckling)

Lindsay and I used to work
together as CSIs.

Right here
in this building.

Side by side.

Just like Libby
and Ella do.

She's just so lost now.

I don't know, Max.

You'd think I'd be
over it by now.

Parents never stop wanting
more for their kids.

Ain't that the truth?

Anyway...

Uh...

Prelim photoionization
detection on the fire

didn't show any accelerants
or explosives.

No foreign object present.

It could just be
a freak electrical thing.
Mm.

So now that Folsom
and Allie are free,

I'm just gonna ask them
to dig deeper.

Maybe you're looking
at one juicy coincidence

by morning, huh?

Get 20% off when you switch
to Cyber Punk Paper!

Get 20% off when you switch

20% off when you switch today.

Punk up your paper.

20% off today.

Hi. 20% off today
when you switch.

Whoa.

Do our clients

(laughs)

How long have you

Longer than I want.

Oh.

I'm staying upstairs
if you're interested.

Thank you.

And, uh, there you go.

Yeah.
I like this outfit.

What's underneath it?
Hey. Back off.

CHAVEZ:
Stop it.

(winces)
Back up

or I'll break
your hand.

Okay, okay.
(laughs)

I was just having
some fun, bitch.

(sighs)

(sighs)

You okay?
Just part of the job.

(chuckles)
Oh.

There.

You look good.

I'm Melanie,
by the way.

I'm Valerie.

You working that,
uh, pool expo later?

Ugh, I'm either a lifeguard

or a mermaid.
Hmm.

Pool guys have the best bars.

We should hang out after.

Yeah.

Beau and I were inside
the studio, the window cracked,

we looked over,
saw flames.

FOLSOM:
What about the cameras?

It was just the one
over the desk.

It only covers, uh,
you know, the guest side.

None outside or behind?
No.

Oh, Ella.

Um, I'll let you get into it.
ELLA: I know,
I'm not supposed to be here,

but Mama's waiting in the car.

She needed her cup.
WILLOWS: Uh, no,
I-I'm glad you're here.

I left you a message.

Did you get it?

We arrested Warren's shooter.
A hunter.

Warren's death was an accident.

I thought Warren and Dirk's
deaths were connected.

If it's any comfort,

this makes it less likely that

some loan sharks are after
you and your mother.

(sighs)

We had so many plans.

Me and Warren.

I... don't know
what I'm gonna do now.

Ella, what are you, 19?

You're so young.
You could do anything.

You could go to school.
Mm-mm. College isn't for me.

It's best I stay.

Help build the company
with Mama.

LIBBY:
Ella.

You've been in here so long,
I got worried.

I-I should probably
go tell her about Warren.

(camera clicking)

You know, nothing was thrown
through the door or

through the window.

The heat from the fire
melted the insulation

and cracked the window.

Melted cables say
electrical fire, but, look,

the plugs aren't melted,
neither are receptacles.

Maybe the fire started
inside the computer?

Let's take a look.

You know, things
are different now.

You said before
it's like old times, but...

I'm technically the boss now,

and our... repartee we have...

Repartee? That's French, right?
(laughing)

We're close.

Closer than I am to others.

Our friendship

could be misinterpreted
as inappropriate

or favoritism.

So...

so my rank isn't just
a formality?

Copy that.

Josh.
Ooh.

You're right.

The fire came from inside.
That's rare.

Bloody hell,
another coincidence?

This is getting
creepy.

Computers don't
spontaneously combust,

so something
started the fire.

I just couldn't
say what.

Mm. Smell that?

It's fermented.

I'll get this
to the GC-MS, boss.

Thank you for your patience

on my
autopsy report.

I couldn't start working
until he cooled.

ROBY:
Mr. Cantor is a mess.
Collapsed lung.

Tubular necrosis of the kidney.

Blood in the
spinal fluid.

So, he got beat up
pretty bad, right?

No, believe it or not, all that
is due to heat and dehydration.

Desperate to cool himself down,
his body excreted fluids

at an accelerated rate.

Desiccating his entire body,
including his organs.

He was so dehydrated that
his adrenals have become rocks.

FINADO:
Well, blood can't run through
the system without water,

so he died
of cardiac arrest, huh?

That's right.
ROBY: I wonder why

he didn't get up,
get out of there,

and get some air
before passing out.

I had the same question,

so I ran a tox screen.

I found
run-of-the-mill

fitness supplements
in his system.

Well, that explains the residue

I found in his water bottle.

HUDSON:
But there was also
opioid toxicity.

280 micrograms per liter.

Enough in his system
to pass out and then some.

He was on drugs?

Mm.
FINADO: Maybe that explains

that mess of prints
that I found in there.

He was out of his gourd.
He was wandering around, lost.

Whatever happened in there
wasn't that peaceful.

Dirk's body position
obscured this

from you at the crime scene.

Peri-mortem hematoma.

Bruises, just like these,

all up and down his arms.

All created just before he died.

So, he did fight someone
in there.

More like something.

These hematoma have

blunt impact points

from repeated strikes
to hard surfaces.

What I would've expected to be

a comparatively gentle
accidental overdose

was resisted by Dirk.
Help!

There's no lock
on the steam room door.

Why couldn't he
get out of there?

That's a really good question,
Mr. Finado.

Go get us a really good answer.

WILLOWS:
Well, I mean,
no lock, obviously,

no dents,

no bent metal.

Are you sure someone
drugged Dirk

and barricaded him
in there?

No. Not really. I don't know
how else to explain the autopsy.

Oh, that's weird.

WILLOWS: Oh.
FINADO: We pulled
the body out yesterday,

but the ants are still here.
What're you little guys after?

Huh. There's like a...

some kind of dust,
but it's sticky.

Sticky and sweet?

Ants love sweet.

And they're on the march.
Hmm.

Catherine.
Hmm?

I got an idea. I want you
to get into the steam room.

I want to try
something.

Just trust me.
Please, just trust me.

Hop in.

I used to
play this prank

back in college
to lock

my buddies
into their dorm rooms.

(clicks)

Okay.
Open the door.

(chuckles)

Won't open.

Put some weight behind it.
Pull. Pull hard.

There's your barricade.

(grunts)
How does a hard candy
lock a door?

Placed in the
right location,

that candy that
almost broke my tooth

becomes a mighty, tiny wedge,

which changes the angle
between the door and the frame,

preventing the door lock
from opening.

The candy disappears
as condensation and humidity

melts it over time.

And, eventually, it dissolves

until someone can
go through the door.

Never know
it was there.

But not before you die
of a heart attack

in a steam room.
Dirk was murdered

by candy.

(laughs)

You think I killed Dirk
the jerk with candy?

WILLOWS:
Well, that is how
he died last Saturday.

Someone wedged
the steam room door shut

at Body By Libby.

Dirk was
locked inside.

Ew! No, no, no, no.
No one needs to see that.

Look, I swear on Beyoncé
I did not kill that man.

You're gonna need a stronger
alibi than Beyoncé, my friend.

(scoffs) Don't let
my flippancy fool you.

I'm a church-going man.

Every and all Saturday.
Ask my deacon.

Well, we know
where you were on Tuesday.

You were at work

when someone
started a fire,

and my CSIs
said that

that fire was caused by someone
spilling raspberry kombucha

all over a computer hard drive.

If you're curious
about the molecular makeup

of your favorite drink,

that's it.

(sighs)

1:00 is the slowest
time at any gym,

but I made 1:00 p.m. the spot.

Then Dirk took it from me

because Libby was jealous
of my success.

So, I used the front desk
computer to write him a note

saying I knew about
his affair with Kendall,

but I didn't know
how to delete it,

so I buch'd the computer
to erase it.

You wrote a blackmail letter?

It wasn't that serious.
I was just letting him know

that I'll tell Libby and his
Young Sheldon stepdaughter.

Young Sheldon?
TWIST: Ella.

Little know-it-all kid
graduated at 16.

Libby never stopped
talking about it.

Look, anyway, my plan worked,

Dirk broke up with Kendall, and
he gave me back my time slot.

Kendall and Dirk broke up?

Yeah. She can't get
over it either.

She's obsessed.

Look, I know this looks bad,

but I'm no killer.

It doesn't just look bad.
Blackmail is illegal.

So is arson.

Am I getting new bracelets
today or what?

Won't be my first.

GILL: Kendall cheated
with her best friend's husband.

That's low.

Not as low as killing
her best friend's husband.

Touché.

Oh, that's
Kendall's husband.

They were all hunting buddies.

FOLSOM:
And they like their Remingtons.

Just like the rifle that...
killed Warren.

Aw, Kendall wasn't
a fan of Warren,

so maybe she killed
both of them.

New uniform?

She's undercover,
again.

Working a pool
expo today.

Got Valerie's DNA.

GILL:
No, this hair
doesn't have any bulbs.

No bulbs, no DNA.

Sorry.
Yeah, no problem.

I will try again.

We're gonna
hang out tonight.

Hang out?

Oh, yeah, she's into me.

Sweet.

No, it's not sweet.

We're not supposed to get close
to the people we investigate.

(laughs)

Well, it's not what you
walking windbreakers do,

but, for us mermaids,
being undercover means

playing all angles.

Is that why you said yes
when I asked you out?

Maybe.

Oh. Ha ha.

Okay, I'm going to
go help Beau

with the paper he
found in Dirk's steam room

before another one of these
jokes goes over my head.

Oh.

Has anyone ever told you
you look great in shades?

Yeah, everyone does.

So, the wet paper blob

that I found in
Dirk's steam room,

it dried out, but
it's still worthless.

ESDA couldn't
pick up any indentations,

so I'm thinking an
alternative light source

might expose
the original message.

What do you think?
Sounds great.

♪ ♪

PENNY:
Oh, there we go.

Now we're in business.

"Please forgive me, Warren."

"I deserve this."
Is this a suicide note?

He's confessing
to Warren's murder.

But the hunter,
Netty,

already confessed to
killing Warren.

No, she believes
she killed Warren,

but she said herself
she barely looked at the body

before running away.

Okay, hold on.

Let's say that

Dirk did
kill Warren

and then
killed himself.

Why would he lock himself

in a steam room with candy?

How could
he do that?

He didn't.

No, Warren's killer
is framing Dirk

to cover
their tracks.

You've been saying it
all along, Beau.

These murders are connected.

(laughter)

Oh, you weren't wrong
about the bar.

These drinks
have me heated.

You didn't even
need to wear a wig.

You already have
mermaid hair.

Hey.

There you go.

Thanks, babe.

Convention guys
always want us.

No reason they
shouldn't pay.

I'm happy
to help you

make a few extra bucks

if you need it.

Hmm. I mean,
I could use the money.

But I hardly know you.

Like, where
are you from?

How long have you been in Vegas?

You ask a lot of questions.

Who are you?

(chuckles)

I told you. Melanie.

Hmm.
I'm from Miami--

You want to know about me,
but you're lying about yourself.

You're right.

Okay?

My name is Mia Roland.

I'm Cliff Roland's sister.

Am I supposed to know
who that is?

He told me
you were dating.

Okay, move.
He-he called me.

He was in trouble, and then

he died in that
car accident.

I just came to Vegas
for answers.

He was my brother.

Please, Valerie.

I have to know.
All right.

We weren't dating,

we were set up.

What does that mean?

You were set up?

Like you set up
other people?

I won't talk about it here.

Come to my place
tomorrow night.

Cañada Towers, apartment 1751.

You have no idea
what this means to me.

Thank you.

We got an issue.

(gunshot)

FOLSOM:
Okay, we have casings

from all of Dirk's
Remington rifles, boss.

Dirk's suicide note
was right.

Netty didn't
kill Warren.

The casings
don't match,

Which means a casing
from Dirk's rifle might.

FOLSOM:
We would've figured
this out eventually,

but Netty's
confession

put her rifle
at the end of

the ballistics
queue, so...

there was
a coincidence.

Yeah, just not
the one we thought.

You know, I wasn't
pulling rank earlier.

I value our friendship,

but I've worked hard to
get to where I am.

I know,
and you deserve all of it--

the promotion,

everything--
and I never want to

jeopardize that for you.

And you're right.

Things are different, and

we can't go back.

You know, and...

and who'd want that?
(machine chirps)

We have a match.

Dirk's rifle shot Warren.

Yep, but who pulled
the trigger?

RAJAN:
Okay, so, Warren's crime scene

is the missing link

in this case.

It's just up here.

(gunshot in distance)
God!

(Folsom laughs)
This can't be safe.

I miss the steam room.

Don't worry,
I know a great taxidermy guy.

He'll make sure
you look handsome

up on the wall.
That's not funny.

Uh--
(gunshot in distance)

Okay, um, whoever shot
Warren also killed Dirk.

We're looking
for something

that tells us
who did it.

According to the
time of death,

Warren was
killed first.

Just walk me through
what you found.

Okay, so, Warren's body
was found 43 meters south.

Um, the rifle casing was there,

and the shooter's prints
were here, here, everywhere.

Small boot
prints, right?

Made by someone
about Allie's weight.

And Kendall is small.

RAJAN:
She'd have to be

a good shot to see Warren
behind the thicket.

Kendall's a hunter, too.

WILLOWS:
So, footprints

were pretty much
all you found?

Yeah, apart from
that one thingy there.

FOLSOM:
Yeah, we think
it was made by

some sort of
hunting equipment.

Cylindrical with
an accompanying divot,

like a hilt or a grip.

This is a photo of
the positive cast.

I know who shot Warren.

I'm the victim.

Why am I in here?

'Cause you killed
Warren Lopez.

Don't be absurd.

Warren was shot
deep into the woods.

It's quite a hike
getting up there, isn't it?

You need to stay hydrated,

especially in those altitudes.

You spotted Warren,

and in order to take your shot,

you had to put your mug down.

(laughs):
Please.

You think I killed Warren

because of some dinky
holes in the mud?

ROBY:
Allie, get that box.

We got you a
little souvenir

from the woods.

Oh, yeah.

You really can't
go anywhere without it, huh?

These mugs are very popular.

I know,
everybody's got five.

But you know
what we did?

We tested all of yours.

This one had this exact soil

caked right here
in the crevice.

You should really wash those
things more frequently.

ROBY:
You killed

your daughter's fiancé.

Who does that
to their child?

But you know what?
You weren't even done there,

were you?

You framed your
cheating husband

for Warren's murder.

Two birds, one stone.

No, I-I-I didn't do that, okay?

I don't know who did,
but I didn't do that.

I want my lawyer.

You need to let
me out of here.

I did not do this.
Deputy Clark.

What? Are you kidding me?

(handcuffs clicking)

WILLOWS:
This is hard, I know.

My father did some

awful things.

I know how it feels.

You don't have
the evidence to convict my mom.

You have what? Dirk's gun,

a cup imprint, some candies.

They didn't mention candy.

Your mom discovered

Warren was encouraging you
to leave

to go to college,
so she

killed him to make you stay.

But she was so
sloppy about it,

she used Dirk's rifle to
kill Warren.

It wasn't a matter of

if she'd be caught,
but when.

So you covered for her.

You dosed Dirk's water bottle
with opioids.

You wrote the suicide note
in block letters

so that the handwriting
would be hard to match,

and then you slipped the note
into the steam room

before locking Dirk in.

And you made up that
whole story about

loan sharks trying to
hurt you and your mother.

But you
didn't anticipate

the note that you left

being ruined by moisture.

Had we seen
the message sooner,

his death might have
been deemed suicide,

case would've been closed.

Ella, you didn't have to

kill Dirk for your mom.

I found out what she did. She...

She just didn't want me
to leave her.

She needs me.

I could fix it,
stay here, work with her.

This is my fault.
It's all my fault.

Ella...

...children are
never responsible

for their parents' mistakes.

I love my mom.

CHAVEZ:
I did it, Max.
I got her to talk.

Valerie wasn't
Cliff's girlfriend.

She says they were set up.

Set up? What does that mean?

I'll find out when

I meet up with Valerie

at her place.
At her place?

That sounds a little risky.

No, I've been here
before, Max.

I've... I've got
a handle on it.

Plus, it'll give me
a chance to grab some

useable DNA.
All right, Serena.

I'll bring my weapon.

You two will have a report
on your desk in the morning.

Robot justice.

(door closes)

Netty, this belongs to you.

It was just
a matter of

the wrong place
at the right time.

One hell of a "coinkydink," huh?

(chuckles)
You sure can say so. Yeah.

Thank you.

WILLOWS:
You're welcome.

Now, still don't know

if I believe in
coincidence, but, uh,

it's growing on me.

See you tomorrow, partner.
It's your day, right?

Four sugars.
Got it.
That's it.

Lindsay, it's Mom.

Just wanted to say I love you

and I'm proud of you.

That's all.

Valerie?

You inside?

I'm coming in, okay?
