hurt playing hockey.

Sometimes they even die.

If you hate someone and you

They won't let me leave

But in hockey, injuries

hurt her, that's intent.

I should say,

I'm not entirely comfortable

Alec's proven it can wander

- Suspect profiles
can be problematic.

But at times,
I find them helpful.

- Because of the Barnum effect.

Police retroactively
reinterpret profiles

to fit the person they arrest.

But if you base a profile
on hard data, statistics,

it can be less fakey.

- Really selling
it there, girl.

- Statistics, then.

above average in intelligence,

and in his
late 20s to early 30s.

- Well, that just
about describes everyone

in our group,
except me and Angelique.

- Also, the fact that
the hacker was sloppy enough

to leave in your signature

implies he's not
an expert programmer.

He probably built his hack
using other people's tools,

stolen or found online.

- He's a skiddie--
a script kiddie.

Skiddies are hackers
who use plug-and-play code.

Anything else?

- Now we're getting
into speculation,

but studies show that
online video game cheaters

don't just want to win.

They want a claim, for other
people to see them as skilled,

even if they didn't earn it.

There could be parallels,

which means I might have a way
to identify him.

Hey, can I ask you something?

- Well, I do owe you one
for the pseudoscience.

- [chuckles]

If someone above you
in a position of authority

was doing something wrong

but reporting it

rat poison to kill her.

And if she'd eaten the rest
of that yogurt, it would have.

Look at the way this rat poison
was left behind--

barely hidden, on its side,
at an off angle.

But I don't think
Zane's capable

of leaving the poison that way.

In his dressing room,

he lined his script just so.

Look at his walk-in closet--

shoes perfectly lined,

clothes organized by color.

Zane has OCD.

- I am chill.

I am just not letting her give
all the credit

to some overrated glory hound.

Okay, answer me this--
if this is DevilMaker,

how does he access
the AC system?

One's in Texas.
One's in Delaware.

Guy's in Argentina?

- I don't know.
Maybe he has an accomplice.

- Oh, so now
your legend needs help.

No, this is a one-man op.

Whoever did this
got into the factory

where they make the AC units,
compromised them,

and waited for them
to be installed.

That's genius.

- None of those details
are public.

And those AC units are made
50 miles from here.

- That doesn't make any sense.

The encryption code was
date-stamped a few days ago.

- That's the beauty of it--

because once the hacker
controls the AC Wi-Fi,

he can slip into those
company computers anytime.

[slaps table]
Bam!

- Wow, Jared.

You got all this sussed out.

I mean, if your coding skills
weren't so basic,

I would assume
that you were the hacker.

- "Basic"?

When this is DevilMaker,
you think it's top tier.

Now that it's me, I'm basic?

at her firm was embezzling,

to name names.

She was afraid of blowback.

- Fits the corporate culture.

- I sniffed around to see if
I could confirm her suspicions.

There were signs,
but no hard evidence.

A few days ago,
Lia agreed to do some digging

in the company records.

- And then she died.

- I guess I want to believe
her death

didn't have anything to do with
our investigation or with me.

- Because you didn't want
to feel responsible,

which is very human.

- It sounds like Lia
suspected someone specific.

Did she give you any hints
on the embezzler's identity?

- Just that whoever it was
felt cheated by the company

and that they planned
to flee the country.

- You said
the killer felt cheated.
