Morning, Mother,
[chuckles] Good morning!
Oh,,,
You and those books,
You know, when you were a little kid,
you used to have to sleep with 12 books in your crib,
Never a stuffy-- 12 books,
Well, it seems I was destined to be a librarian,
Yes,
You look really nice,
- Oh! - Do you have a new temp job?
Yes, and it may turn into something else,
and it's in real estate!
Wow! That's great,
I mean, I know you've been enjoying teaching
at the university,
but you're probably happy to get back to what you love,
Yes, I am,
And if all goes well at Bleeker Collective,
I might be able to pay my overhead again,
and I'll be poised to get back in the game,
- "Bleeker Collective"? - Mm-hmm,
Like Kathleen Bleeker?
Yes, Do you know her?
Yeah, she's in the diner all the time,
- My boss's girlfriend, - Emilio?
I didn't know he and Lauren broke up,
Mm, I guess they divorced a few years ago,
Speaking of which, I should get going,
I've got a morning shift there
and then dinner with Daniel tonight,
It's our six-month-a-versary,
Ooh, congratulations,
I like him,
Me too,
See you,
- Good luck! - Thank you,
♪ Have a great day ♪
[to self] Okay,
[♪♪♪]
[Roe] Morning!
Arthur, hi!
[chuckles] Hi,
I am so sorry for the huge coffee order,
Oof! What-- you lose a bet or something?
Apparently, I don't know the police code numbers
as well as I thought,
Maybe make yourself some flashcards?
10-02,
Don't you mean "10-04"?
10-04 is acknowledgement, 10-02 is "receiving well,"
"10-02," Okay, You load, I pour,
So,,, what are you reading today?
What makes you think I'm reading anything?
When are you not reading something?
I bet money, if I looked in your bag,
I'd find a true-crime paperback with a bookmark in it,
You would need a warrant for that, officer,
Am I about to lose another bet?
It's a hardcover,
Ah! So close,
- [Roe chuckles] - What's this one about?
Oh, it's great, It's a series of cases
about falling in love with the wrong person,
Sounds fascinating,
You have no idea,
Oh, cream, I'll be right back,
[♪♪♪]
Uh, lids?
Mm!
Perfection,
This one has to go on the menu,
A new creation? Mm,
I smell tomato and peppers?
We just need a name
for this masterpiece of shakshuka,
I got the idea when we ate at that Italian place,
You know, you went and ordered all those extra peppers,
We can call it "The Aurora Special,"
Oh, please don't,
At least, not until I try it, hmm?
Delicious,
So, bossman, are you gonna call Stephen back, or what?
Emilio, your son called?
I expect he just wants to tell me off,
It's what he did last summer when we had lunch,
Started fine, but then,,,
He just turned 17, right?
You know, maybe he's growing up, getting past the anger,
Yeah, I mean, you were just saying how much you miss him,
I'm sure he misses you, too,
I do miss him,
Ah! Mi amor!
- Mm, - Mwah,
Didn't expect to see you till later,
I know, but I actually have some not-so-great news,
I just got a look at the new municipal tax codes,
and the prepared-food tax for restaurants is going up--
almost double,
They're doing this in the middle of a recession?
I'm so sorry,
I need to call my investor,
But, Emilio, what can he do about it?
He needs to know!
Emilio, I know you think Ben walks on water,
but he can't change the tax laws,
That's not how it works,
Okay, this is delicious,
but take it away from me before I eat the whole thing,
You didn't eat breakfast again, did you?
Who has time to eat, you know?
Between covering Lindo's classes the last two weeks,
and I'm still behind on my thesis,
Are we still going out tonight?
Of course, It's our six-month-a-versary,
Pick me up when you're done with your shift?
Should be done around 8:00,
Okay,
- Bye, - Bye,
[deep breath]
[sighs] Okay,
[♪♪♪]
Sally? What are you doing here?
Oh,,, I was hoping I would run into you here,
Um, my editor sent me to ask about an Irene Haddon,
Our receptionist?
Yeah,
Uh, hate to break it to you, but she died a few days ago,
I know,
Uh, I mean, I'm here to write her obituary
for "The Lawrenceton Times",
Wait, so you're working for "The Times" now?
Sally, I'm impressed!
Well, I mean, sort of,
Not technically, I'm, uh,,,
I'm interning for them,
So they have you on obits?
Mm-hmm,
Sally Allison, who cries at every commercial?
That is not currently accurate,
[Arthur] You got me there,
Arthur,,,
that's District Attorney Morse,
I've seen her on the news-- she's so intimidating,
Yeah, tell me about it,
Everyone here is scared of her,
- Everyone except-- - Smith!
Where is my coffee?
[Sally whimpers]
[Morse snaps her fingers]
[heels clapping]
D,A, Morse, to what do we owe this questionable pleasure?
Ooh!
Coffee time, huh?
Don't let me interrupt, [chuckles]
You probably all need it, Workin' so hard,
Right? Is that Alistair's?
Here, I can give that to him--
if he can provide me
with a decent answer to my question
about last quarter's arrest numbers,
[chuckles dryly]
You know I'm just gonna tell you
it has a lot to do with your prosecution docket,
Oh,,,
Officer Smith--
you're not that long from your Academy training,
I understand?
Uh, yeah, I'm about, uh,,,
- [whispers] Two years, - ,,,T-Two years out of,,,
Two years, That's good,
Then perhaps you could tell Detective Cook
the most recent statistic on the percentage of arrests
that lead to actual charges,
nationwide?
Um, I think it's something like 75--
,,,78%, yeah,
And do you know what the percentage is
in this county?
[Arthur] Yes, actually,
I do know that one, It is 71,2,
That's right!
[chuckles smugly]
Lower than the national average,
I think I've made my point,
I'll be ordering a review of all of your arrest records,
Can you, um, tell Larissa-- if that's how
she wants to spend her resources,
go for it,
Um--
Yeah, no, I won't be using my resources,
Oh, no, It'll be yours,
It's good, Let's go,
Three years after our divorce-- [chuckles]
[darkly] ,,,she still loves to rattle my cage,
[♪♪♪]
Whew! Those veggies never stood a chance, did they?
Not for a second,
[chuckles]
Aurora Teagarden, my favorite server,
Danny, how is life on the grill?
Hey, Mr, Powell,
Can't complain, but I'm glad that you're here,
maybe you can talk Emilio off the ledge,
Yeah, he sounded pretty tense on the phone,
Yeah, Kathleen came by
and told him about all the new city taxes
- going into effect, so-- - "Kathleen"?
You mean Kathleen Bleeker?
Yeah, And she's in real estate,
so I guess she keeps up on all that stuff,
Okay, well, maybe it's not as bad as it sounds,
I'll go talk to him,
Emilio? Let's talk!
Can you get me a jar of olives from the back room?
Okay,
[♪♪♪]
[Emilio] That's not what you should be worried about--
it's this,
This is what we need to talk about,
First,,,
you need to realize the implications
of what has happened,
and that the things that are gonna change,
Ben-- [sighs]
[door thuds]
[♪♪♪]
[Kathleen] Aida Teagarden,
Oh, hi!
I'm so glad you're here, and sorry--
I got stuck on a long call with a client,
Not to worry! I was able to look over your listings,
Oh, yes, The market is finally warming up,
Yes, [chuckling]
More on that in a bit,
First, let me show you around,
Oh, Well, this place is very impressive,
Thank you, We have a couple offices down here,
and I put this lockup in
for clients who want to store things with us
while we're showing their homes,
It's nice to have the extra space,
but I'd like to do more with it, eventually,
One step at a time,
Yes, one step at a time!
Come on, Let me show you upstairs,
Okay, the restrooms are just that way,
and my office is up there, towards the front,
Oh, and I was thinking
you'd like to take the desk by the window,
Oh! Well, thank you,
That would be wonderful,
Once upon a time,
I had so many agents working here,
but then-- you know what happened,
Oh, I'm just happy, as you said,
that things are starting to pick up,
Exactly, Thank goodness you're here, Aida,
These are new listings I do not have time
to devote the attention they deserve,
Okay,
[quietly] Oh,,,
Ben Powell is selling the Ridge Avenue warehouse?
I represented the seller when Ben bought it years ago,
That's right!
Ben mentioned the two of you had crossed paths before,
and he knows you to be a very skilled negotiator,
[chuckles] Oh, well, it's gratifying
to know that my reputation is still intact,
It certainly is, I'm so happy to have you,
Oh, thank you,
[exhales contentedly]
[keyboard clacking]
[♪♪♪]
You know,,,
at some point, you're gonna have to move on
to your next sentence,
It's really the only way it'll ever be long enough,
I know, I just,,,
I haven't found anything that feels thesis-worthy,
Why don't you take a break from that and help me with something?
Oh, yes, please, A much-welcome distraction,
The next unit we're doing is "the Killer You Know,"
but my reading list feels a little stale,
Ooh, The Stranger Beside Me,
Ted Bundy, That's a classic,
That one, I'm gonna keep, but,,,
I feel like I want to change a few more out,
You know, I'm actually reading
Empty Promises by Ann Rule right now,
Oh, that's a good one,
Yeah, can you find me two or three more?
You got it!
[♪♪♪]
Well, I trust that the Ridge Avenue warehouse
was a good investment?
[chuckles] Oh, yes! And as I recall,
you got me to offer a good 20 grand
over what I intended to pay,
and still somehow managed to make me feel like
I got a bargain in the process,
Well, it was a bargain!
I bet I could've gotten another 20 out of you,
I have no doubt!
[chuckling]
Yeah, I'm surprised that, uh,
Kathleen isn't joining us to hand over the baton,
so to speak,
Oh, yeah, She, uh, she sends her regrets,
She had all this paperwork to do,
[testily] Emilio?
Where is he?
Oh, Lauren?
Oh, Miss Walsh,,,
- "Walsh"? - She went back
to her maiden name when her and Emilio called it quits,
Where is he?
Lauren, Lauren--
Don't try to run interference, Daniel,
I want you to go back there and tell him I'm here,
I'm telling you he's not here! He went to the bank,
- [aghast] Mom? - [sighs] Stephen--
Look, it took a lot
for Stephen to reach out and call his father,
The least Emilio can do is call back his own son,
Mom,,, stop,
Let's go,
I told you it was a waste of time,
Only because he isn't here!
[door bell jingles]
Sorry about that, guys,
You handled that well, Daniel,
Well, I've had experience,
I hope everything's gonna be okay,
Yeah, it'll be okay,
I'll see you later, though, when I come pick up Roe?
Yeah, It's always good to see you, Daniel,
Thank you,
[Aida] Okay,
[page crinkles]
- This is what you sign, - Okay,
[♪♪♪]
[dialing]
Daniel! Hey,
Are you already on the way to my house?
Oh, good,
I left my phone at the diner, Meet you there?
'Kay,
[hangs up]
[♪♪♪]
[phone ringing nearby]
[ringing continues]
[phone ringing]
[♪♪♪]
[phone ringing]
[ringing continues]
[click]
[gasping]
[ringing continues]
[door closing]
[gasping]
- Daniel-- - Are you okay?
It's Emilio,
[cries out] No, no, no, no!
Emilio!
I can't feel his pulse,
Roe, he's dead,
[♪♪♪]
[camera shutter snapping]
Medical Examiner said time of death
was no more than an hour ago,
The crime scene is as fresh as fresh gets,
Be thorough,
Okay, look, we were supposed to meet at my house,
but I forgot my phone, so we came back here,
So you were just stopping by here on your way?
No, we met here,
- But you two came separately? - Yeah,
You recognize this knife, Mr, Garcia?
Uh, yeah, it's mine,
Is-- Is that the, uh,,,
The knife that killed your boss?
Yes,
"Kenzer,"
High-end brand, isn't it?
Monogrammed, no less,
Emilio gave me a set when I graduated culinary school,
A whole set, huh? So where's the rest?
Um, they're-they're--- they're at home,
I always take 'em home with me,
I-I must've forgot to put that one back in the case,
I used it a lot today,
Yeah, it's true, I saw him using it earlier,
so before you go turning him into a suspect, I think--
Wh-- I'm a suspect?
,,,Think you should know that Daniel got here after me,
so he couldn't have just--
Couldn't have killed Emilio, gone home, cleaned up,
and came back here to meet you?
Arthur, are you serious? You're in here all the time,
You've seen Daniel and Emilio together,
Have you ever seen them not get along?
- Because I haven't! - Well, have you ever
seen Emilio not get along with anyone?
Uh, I mean, I guess he was upset earlier today
about a tax hike,
but no, I've never seen him argue with anyone,
Well, I-I have,
Yeah, his ex-wife, Lauren,
She came in earlier today-- she came to see Emilio,
but he was out, and she was upset
that he hadn't called Stephen back yet,
And who's Stephen?
It's Emilio son,
Yeah, he-he called here earlier today,
and-- which is great,
because Emilio hadn't spoken to him in months,
You know, it's-- Stephen took his mother's side
in the divorce, and he was, uh,,,
He was,,, what?
He was angry, okay?
And he was vocal about it,
but I don't wanna sound like I'm throwing him under the bus,
All right? I've known the kid since he was, like, eight,
He loved his dad, okay?
But-But Lauren, even when they were married,
they always fought,
All right, Mr, Garcia,
I'm gonna hand you off to one of our patrolmen,
He's going to take you down to the station for--
What? No, I'm going with him,
No, No, you're not, Miss Teagarden,
You're gonna stay here while you give a detailed statement
to one of the officers,
I want to know everything you remember
about finding the body,
Let's go, Mr, Garcia,
Smith, get the car, I'll meet you out front,
Let's go!
Hey, where are you going?
Where we always go when someone's found dead--
to inform the next of kin,
I'm really sorry about Emilio,
I know how close you all were with him,
[♪♪♪]
[Aida] Everyone loved Emilio,
I can't imagine anyone wanting to hurt him,
let alone Daniel, of all people!
I know, It's ridiculous,
Sometimes, you think that you know someone,
but you really don't know them,
Yes, Sally, but most of the time you do!
I am certain Daniel had nothing to do with Emilio's death,
I know Daniel!
He drove 30 miles out of his way to fix my flat tire,
for goodness sake,
Oh, my god-- Kathleen!
Oh, I have to call her,
Oh, I'm so sorry, darling,
Thanks, Mother,
Let me know if you need anything,
Goodnight, Sally,
'Night,
I just-- [sighing]
I keep replaying it over in my head,
It was Daniel's knife that killed Emilio,
It feels like someone's trying to frame him,
Roe,,,
um,,,
you probably don't want to hear this, but,,,
,,,it sounds like what happened with me and Matt--
No, Sally, This isn't like you and Matt,
Matt was a professional con man with a murky past,
and Daniel is a cook in a diner
doing the same thing since high school!
I know, I know,
I-I hear you,
I'm just saying, it might not be a bad idea to--
It is a bad idea, Sally,
I-I can't do that,
It would hurt
to erase everything I know about Daniel,
[choking up] I,,,
I can't do it,
I know,
I'm sorry,
[♪♪♪]
[knocking on door]
[loud rock music filtering from inside]
If Miss High-and-Mighty next door
wants me to turn my music down,
she can just walk over and tell me herself,
Ma'am, are you Lauren Torres?
It's "Walsh" now, if you don't mind,
All right, Ms, Walsh,
And your son, Stephen, is he home right now?
[music continues to blare]
Would you mind telling us what this is all about?
We regret to inform you
that Emilio Torres was found dead tonight
at his place of business--
a victim of a homicide,
Is this some kind of joke?
Unfortunately, no,
You have our deepest sympathies,
[tearing up] Oh, Stephen,
Mom,,, stop,
[Cook] Look, I know this is a lot to absorb right now,
but I have to ask where each of you were tonight,
[Lauren] What an awful, insensitive question
to ask at a time like this!
I agree,,,
but I have to ask,
Stephen?
Where were you tonight between 7:30 and 8:30?
We were at the movie theater,
We went to see the new superhero-thing,
I-I have the ticket stubs in my purse,
- if you want to see, - Please,
[phone rings]
Excuse me,
It's Cook,
Mm-hmm,
You sure?
Okay, thanks,
We have to go, Smith,
How about you come down to the station tomorrow--
say, 9:00 a,m,?
I'll take both your statements then, yes?
- We can do that, - Stephen?
Goodnight,
What's going on?
Prints came back on the knife,
One set--
Daniel Garcia,
[door opening]
[♪♪♪]
[door shuts]
[♪♪♪]
[phone rings]
- Hello? - Hey, Roe,
Sorry for calling so late,
Daniel! Are you okay? Where are you?
I'm still at the police station,
They're gonna hold me for another 24 hours
while they investigate,
They're keeping you overnight?
Yeah, well,,, my fingerprints were on the knife,
and my hairs were on Emilio's body,
I mean, I-I guess that makes sense,
It-It is your knife,
and you were working in the kitchen all day,
But my prints are the only prints on the knife,
[quietly] Look,
They seem to think
that I took the knife home, and then I brought it back,
and that's some kind of a sign of-of premeditation,
like, they just won't seem to believe
that I forgot to put it back in the case!
Like, I'm just kind of freakin' out here, Roe,
Have you called a lawyer?
No, No, I, uh--
They said I only had one call,
and,,,
I just-- I really need to hear your voice,
Like, you do believe me, right?
Of course I believe you didn't do it,,,
but-- [sighs]
,,,who do you think did?
I don't know, Like, it's just starting
to hit me that he's gone
and I'm never going to see him again,
- [Arthur] Time's up, Daniel, - Is that Arthur?
Let me speak to him,
She wants to talk to you,
Hey, Roe,
Daniel did not kill Emilio, Arthur,
and if you and Detective Cook
don't plan to find out who really did,
then I will do it myself,
[♪♪♪]
[Aida] I still can't believe it,
He was such a lovely man and so loved by everyone,
[♪♪♪]
Go ahead, darling,
Oh, Kathleen, Oh,,,
Oh! There are no words,
[Kathleen] I'm so glad you're here,
Lauren is "the grieving widow,"
It's nice to have people here who know
that Emilio and I were happy the past few months,
Oh, Kathleen, don't worry,
Everyone knows how much Emilio loved you,
Um, where can I put this?
Oh, yeah, This way,
Okay,
[indistinct exchange]
Hey,
[Sally] I'm so glad you're here, Roe,
Lauren's been giving me dirty looks
while I try to interview people about Emilio,
I cannot believe they have you writing Emilio's obituary,
I know!
And everyone's saying such sweet things about him,
Look at his son, just sitting there,
Oh, I can't even look at him without wanting to cry,
Sally,
I didn't bring any tissues, I have to go find some,
Excuse me, sorry,
Uh, Stephen?
Hi,
Uh, I'm Aurora, I worked with your father,
Emilio was such an amazing person,
Everyone really loved him,
Yeah, well, obviously, someone didn't love him,
Yeah, Uh, you're right,
and I can't seem to understand why,
but maybe you can help me,
[scoffs] I doubt it,
Look, Uh,,,
your dad told me how much he missed you,
and I know you called yesterday,
so it must mean that you missed him, too, right?
And I heard your mom stopped by to see him,
and she was pretty upset,
You heard right,
I was very upset with him--
not that it's any of your business,
Oh, I, um,,,
sorry, I'm Aurora,
I'm the one who found Emilio,
Of course, I'm wondering what happened--
So is everyone in this room,
Most especially his son, who, on top of that,
is grieving the lost opportunity to reconnect with his father,
So what I'm wondering is,
if you feel good standing there rubbing salt in his wounds,
I'm,,,
I-- [sighs] I'm-I'm sorry,
I'm,,,
I'm so sorry,
[♪♪♪]
[Arthur] Emilio's lawyer finally called me back,
said he's seen the warrant,
and he'll send us a copy of Emilio's will
when he gets to his office tomorrow,
Tomorrow?
I see no reason to wait for the will,
I told our illustrious D,A,
that I have enough to charge Garcia today,
but we only got Garcia for a couple hours,
so you gotta be back here by 7:00,
[♪♪♪]
We need to talk about the Torres case,
[♪♪♪]
Well, Emilio wasn't just a business partner of mine,
He was a friend,
and I can't believe
that they're holding Daniel for the murder,
Emilio was like a father to him,
I think Detective Cook is rushing to judgment,
I'm sure it's just an excess of caution,
They'll sort it out,
Mr, Powell, I-I actually wanted to ask you--
I overheard you and Emilio talking
in his office yesterday,
He seemed pretty angry,
Well, tax hikes are angering to most people,
You said something to him
about needing to "understand the implications" of them,
What didn't he understand?
Oh, well,,,
[chuckles]
Emilio was worried
that he'd fall behind on his loan payments to me,
and I wanted him to understand
that that was the last thing that he needed to worry about,
Clearly, he had bigger problems than my little loan,
But,,,
I keep thinking
that if I had focused a little less on,,,
just trying to comfort him,
maybe he would have told me what was really going on with him,
[sighing]
Please excuse me,
[♪♪♪]
[Morse] You know who was just in my office?
The Mayor herself,
Hmm, Thick as thieves, the two of you,
Mm-hmm, You know who else she's close to?
Mm?
Emilio Torres,
Yeah, Apparently, he was one of the first ones
to donate to her campaign, and now,
she has a personal investment in seeing this case solved,
I told you-- we are ready to charge Daniel Garcia,
She would also like charges that are gonna stick,
and the evidence you presented to me,
over the phone, is--
,,,Is solid as solid gets,
A hair,,,
at his place of employment?
A fingerprint,,, on his own personal knife?
A knife that he admits he never leaves behind,
a knife he took to the restaurant
with the intent to kill,
Says who? You?
Yeah,
You? Wow!
Does anybody work? What was his motive?
Do you have a motive? You don't have a motive, do you?
An eyewitness who can place him at the scene of the crime?
Well, I was just about to go head up--
You go do that, Yeah,
I need something substantial,
otherwise I'm not gonna file the charges,
That means that I have to release him,
[sighs]
Well,,,
[sighing]
Do better,,,
Detective,
[sighs]
[♪♪♪]
So I guess I should go start knocking on some doors, then?
Right after you release Garcia,
If our D,A, wants a probable murderer
on the streets, doing as he pleases,
well, that's on her,
[grumbling sigh]
Give me one of those donuts,
[Cook grumbles]
[♪♪♪]
[Kathleen] I turned him down the first time he asked me out,
then he asked me again,
I turned him down again,
Then he asked me again,
[laughter]
Wow, you really made him work for that first date, huh?
Yeah, I'm glad he didn't give up,
I just wish I had said yes sooner,
We would've had more time,
Kathleen, um,,,
,,,did Emilio say he was having problems with anyone?
The police asked me the same question the other day,
and I have been racking my brain trying to think of someone,
anyone who might have been angry with him,
He didn't mention anything yesterday when you spoke?
All he was concerned about yesterday
was talking to Ben Powell about the new tax rate,
and I told him--
[Lauren] No! How dare you show your face here?
Get out!
[Daniel] I just wanted to pay my respects,
[Lauren] Stephen is here, Daniel,
He knows the police arrested you for killing his father,
Okay, okay! Let's just slow down,
Okay? The police let him go,
Obviously, he didn't do it, He loved Emilio!
You shouldn't be here,
You shouldn't be here! Get him out of here!
Let's just go, Come on,
[♪♪♪]
[Aida] Oh, I just hate leaving you all,
I-I have to go down to the office,
I told Kathleen I would finish up a proposal,
and she's just way too distraught to do it, so,
Daniel,,,
I know everything's gonna be okay,
See you, Sally,
- Darling, I'll see you later, - Bye,
[footsteps recede]
Just-- I didn't realize
that people would actually believe that I did it,
Maybe Arthur's right, Maybe I do need a lawyer,
Yes, you do need a lawyer,
but the best way to prevent you from being falsely charged
is to figure out who really did it,
You were so close to Emilio,
Maybe we could talk through some scenarios or possibilities
of people that you think might've--
Roe, if you're asking me
to point the finger at somebody else,
like others have been pointing fingers at me--
I just-- I can't right now,
I'm sorry,
I understand,
Just focus on finding a lawyer,
Okay?
Thank you for believing in me,
It means everything,
Bye, Sally,
[door opens]
[door closes]
So you still think that someone else did it?
Yeah, because someone else did,
Okay, well,,,
the doors were locked, right?
The diner was closed,
So, who else could've gotten in?
Half-a-dozen employees have keys to the place,
I mean, I have one,
Mr, Powell has one, He could be a possibility,
Right, but isn't he an investor?
Why would he kill his own asset?
Okay, fine, maybe he doesn't have a motive,
but I know someone who does--
Lauren Walsh,
Think about it!
Emilio dies, and Stephen inherits the diner,
but he's a minor, so she's in control,
She gets the diner, she sells it,
she gets the money,
It seems like kind of a stretch, doesn't it, Roe?
Is it, though?
Maybe she was worried
that Emilio was gonna marry Kathleen
and cut Stephen out altogether,
It might explain
why she was suddenly so insistent
that they reconnect,
and when it seemed like he wasn't interested,
she may have,,,
[sighs]
I need to talk to Lauren again,
but this time, I am not going to let her intimidate me,
Okay,
[sighs]
[♪♪♪]
[to himself] Stephen?
[♪♪♪]
[Sally] Roe! I don't know if this is a good idea,
Maybe we should just go,
This is just gonna take a minute, okay?
[knocking]
What are you doing here?
Did you follow me home?
No, no, no! There was no following going on,
We just wanted to talk to you,
She wants to talk to you! I'm--
Not welcome here, either of you,
Now, if you'll excuse me,
Wait! Look, I'm sorry,
I'm,,,
I'm not saying things right,
I just wanted to--
What? Exonerate your boyfriend?
I just wanted to apologize for earlier today,
I really am sorry for your loss,
and I don't want to make things harder for you,
I was wondering, though, if--
[♪♪♪]
Your earrings,,,
they have black beads,
So they do,
Well,,,
excuse me,
Yeah, we're-we're gonna leave, Come on, Sally,
Uh, sorry!
- Wait, what? - [door thuds shut]
Roe, what's happening?
We have to tell Arthur about the earrings,
Earrings?
What about earrings?
Okay, so I realized there was something
I forgot to mention in my statement,
Just before I found Emilio's body,
I almost slipped on these little black round things,
and I didn't think anything of it at the time,
so I absent-mindedly threw them in the trash,
I am really hoping
that your forensic team saved that trash,
Well, I'm sure they did, but I'm sorry,
I guess I'm still unsure what you're talking about,
They're beads--
and I didn't realize it at the time,
and as soon as I found Emilio,
I completely forgot about them until today,
when I saw Lauren wearing earrings
with the same beads,
Arthur,,,
this places Lauren at the scene,
and it means she has motive,
because when Stephen inherits the diner--
- Okay-- - ,,,That means that she--
First off, Lauren has an alibi for the night of the murder,
She was at the movies with her son,
She showed us the ticket stubs,
Stephen corroborated it,
Secondly,
we just got a copy of Emilio's will,
Stephen isn't gonna inherit the diner,
He's gonna get money, yeah, but--
Wait, wait, wait, So who-who gets the diner, then?
Daniel Garcia,
[Sally] So Daniel had the means,,,
the opportunity,,,
,,,and now the motive,
[♪♪♪]
[Daniel] Oh, wow,
[♪♪♪]
[Daniel] Why wouldn't Emilio tell me
he was leaving me the diner?
I don't know,
but the police think
that it means you had motive to kill him,
I didn't even know!
Not that I can prove it,
Look, I just need you to believe me, okay?
- The rest don't matter, - I do believe you,
But the rest do matter, because they're
the ones who will charge and convict you,
Unless, like you said before,
we could figure out who really killed him,
So these are the possibilities?
Um, you said Lauren has an alibi?
Yeah, but a weak one,
Anyone can buy a movie ticket
and not actually go to the movie,
Why is Mr, Powell on here?
He was talking about "implications,"
Here,
Something about his conversation with Emilio
in his office yesterday
has been nagging at me,
You mean the whole tax thing?
Yeah, and Emilio was wanting
to talk about something in a blue ledger
he was waving around,
Yeah, I've seen him with a blue ledger before,
but I have no idea what's in it,
Well, you have keys to his office, right?
Uh, yeah,
[jangling]
Well, let's go check it out,
[scoffs]
Daniel,,, please?
Yeah,
[♪♪♪]
D,A, Morse,
Can I--?
Well?
Well,,,
yes, Alistair,
You have found a convincing motive,
That, with the physical evidence,
and,,,
I think
it's enough,
I like the way you say
"enough,"
I like it when you're good,
Go ahead and write the warrant,
I will call Judge Heller
and ask him for a quick turnaround,
Thank you,
Something you wanted to say, Smith?
Uh, right,
Do you remember what I told you about
Roe stepping on those beads when she found the body?
That she'd seen the same beads on Lauren Walsh?
Well, I checked the evidence room,
They were in the trash bag that forensics collected,
just like she said,
And?
Well, if Lauren didn't know about the will change,
and she was expecting her kid to inherit the diner--
that's motive,
[sighing]
Smith, I got D,A, Morse signing the warrant,
and she has an alibi,
Yeah, I know, but maybe there--
[phone rings]
Want to get that?
[ringing]
Detective Cook's office,
[man] Hey, Smith, listen, I got lights on at the diner,
Gary's on patrol,
Says there's lights on at the RNR Diner,
Let's go,
Let me get my coat,
[♪♪♪]
Postmark 2005?
Addressed to "Blackthorn Holdings,"
with the diner's address on it,
[exhales]
"Blackthorn"-- I don't know who that is,
and I was here in 2005,
[rummaging in drawer]
Oh, my gosh, Daniel,
Look at that,
Look at the amount,
Oh! $30,000? That's a lot of money,
And it's a company check, and that's yesterday's date,
and that is definitely Emilio's signature,
But,,,
it's hard to see who it's made out to,
It's torn in half,
Why would someone tear up the check?
Well, this isn't the actual check,
It's a copy, you know, for bookkeeping,
Someone didn't want anyone to see this,
What does that look like to you? An "SH"?
Uh, yeah, it could be,
Uh, who is--?
"Lauren Walsh,"
I bet it was her!
Maybe Emilio promised to pay her money
and then changed his mind,
and she got so angry, she killed him,
Okay, well, it's possible, Do you really think--
[loud bang]
I'll go see what that was,
Okay,
[keyboard clacking]
[♪♪♪]
[Roe] Daniel, I found something,
It looks like the diner was owned by Blackthorn Holdings
from 2002 to 2005,
Do you know anything about that?
Daniel?
[♪♪♪]
- [siren wailing] - Daniel?
[siren continues wailing]
[siren wailing]
Stephen?
[remembering] Daniel!
[shouts] Daniel!
Roe! Wh-what are you doing here?
Arthur-- Did you just break into
- a crime scene? - I didn't break into anything!
- I work here, - We just found Daniel--
[Cook] Smith, clear it and get out here!
Why am I not surprised?
Call this in,
Daniel,,,
[♪♪♪]
[Cook sighing]
I can't wait much longer for him to wake up
and tell us who hit him in the head,
Look, I'm telling you--
I saw Stephen run in front of the diner,
I'm sure it was him who attacked Daniel,
Why would he do that?
Because of this,
Where'd you find this?
Jammed in a drawer in Emilio's desk,
Miss Teagarden,
taking evidence from a crime scene--
Evidence that you missed,
Look, I'm telling you,
I think Stephen heard Daniel and I talking,
and realized we were getting closer to the truth,
And what truth is that?
That his mother killed his father,
and that check is made out to someone
whose name ends in "S-H,"
You're thinking Lauren Walsh?
The beads I found near Emilio's body
belong to Lauren's earrings,
I think that Lauren killed Emilio,
and Stephen's just been covering for her,
lying about going to the movies,
Roe!
Daniel!
Hey,,, Daniel?
[♪♪♪]
[quietly] What if she's right?
We need to take a better look at Lauren,
and we definitely need to talk to Stephen,
We'll talk to the kid,,,
but Smith, have you considered
that Stephen Torres attacked Mr, Garcia
as an act of vengeance for Mr, Garcia killing his father?
[♪♪♪]
Roe, we're gonna go find Stephen,
You let us know if he wakes up, yes?
[♪♪♪]
[Lauren] Stephen isn't here,
and he isn't answering his phone,
I'm-I'm worried sick,
He doesn't usually go out late at night,
Well, while we wait,
do you, uh, mind telling us
a bit more about your divorce from Emilio?
We've been told that it was a fairly bitter breakup,
Didn't you hear me?
My son is missing!
We also heard
that Stephen didn't take the divorce very well,
that he had a lot of bad feelings towards his father,
Well, if you are working towards suggesting
that Stephen had anything to do with
- his father's death-- - All right, all right,
All right,
[sighing]
Has Emilio's lawyer spoken to you
about the will yet?
No,
Because Emilio didn't leave the diner to Stephen,
He left it to Daniel,
What?
Why would he do that?
You didn't know?
No,
Then we have another question,
Do you have a pair of earrings that match these beads?
Yes, I do,
I fixed a broken one recently,
But I don't understand, Where did you find--
- [door opens] - [gasping]
Stephen, honey!
[sobs] Oh! Where have you been?
Listen, kid, I have some questions for you
about the other night,
He is a kid,,,
and he just lost his father,
Be that as it may, we still need to talk,
[grumbling] Okay, um,,,
We'll give you tonight
to help him pull it together,
but I want to see you at the station,
first thing tomorrow, both of you, okay?
Fine,
Let's go, Smith,
[♪♪♪]
Do I know how to plan a good date or what?
Hey,,, how are you feeling?
All right,
Why am I here? What happened?
You got knocked out behind the diner,
You don't remember?
I remember,,,
being in the office with you,
You were looking for a blue ledger?
Do you remember seeing anyone outside?
I don't remember going outside at all,
Well, I saw Stephen outside the diner
right after you got hit,
Did you maybe see him in the kitchen or anywhere?
I remember being in the kitchen,,,
,,,and then I remember hearing you say
that you found something,
Uh, yeah, I, um,,,
I found out that the diner was owned by that company--
Blackthorn Holdings-- for three years,
No,
That can't be right, Emilio's always owned it,
[Aida] Blackthorn?
I know that company, My client owns it,
He uses it as a holding company for his other properties,
You're awake!
How are you?
Wait, Isn't your client Ben Powell?
Mm-hmm, Yeah, It is,
Wow,
I had no idea Mr, Powell owned the restaurant for a while,
[Aida] Mm-hmm,
I-I need to talk to him,
Aurora!
Daniel just got up,
We should have the doctor see him, make sure
- he's out of the woods, - No, she should go,
so she can figure out who killed Emilio,
Wait, A-Are you saying it could be Ben?
No, I think it's Lauren,
but until I can prove it,
Ben is technically a possibility,
Then I'm going with you,
See you later,
[Sally, spluttering] Wait!
Hey, Sally?
Do you mind just staying here with Daniel until I get back?
- I'll be back soon, okay? - You haven't eaten!
[♪♪♪]
[Cook] It's too bad we can't separate them,
He's still a minor,
It's frustrating,
[Arthur] About as frustrating as finding out from the bank
that the torn check Roe found
wasn't made out to Lauren Walsh after all,
It was paid to "the order of cash,"
Yeah, nice smoking gun,
We can always subpoena the bank records,
You're taking Roe's theory seriously now, huh?
Well, there are those beads,
Okay, yeah,
I was at the diner last night,
Why, Stephen?
The memorial out front,
Just makes me feel better when I sit there,
But I swear, I never saw Daniel!
Why did you run, then?
I thought maybe I wasn't allowed to be there,
you know, with it being a crime scene and all,
Did you know your father had written you out of the will?
No, but,,,
I'm not surprised,
I was a jerk to him after he left us,
But he was a jerk first, you know, for leaving my mom,
I mean, I know how she can be, but that doesn't make it okay
to just go find someone else,
You mean Kathleen Bleeker?
I'll bet it didn't feel good
that your ex started dating someone else
so soon after the breakup?
[sighs] Yes,
I have earrings with beads like this,
They were an anniversary gift from Emilio,
They belonged to his mother,
So how do you think these beads
would end up on the kitchen floor in the diner,
at the scene of the crime?
I don't know,
I may have been wearing them last week
when I went to talk to Emilio,
The strands come loose from time to time,
and the beads fall off,
When they do, I take them to the jeweler to be fixed,
Wait, You were at the diner last week?
Yes, Thursday night, after closing,
After closing, when no one's there to corroborate?
What did you want to talk about?
Money?
No! No, I wanted Emilio to call Stephen,,,
,,,but he didn't think
that Stephen would be that receptive,
and so then that's when I told you to call your father, right?
Yeah,
Hmm,
You said that you were at the movies
when he was murdered,
Are you sticking with that story?
I showed you the ticket stubs,
You want to tell us the plot?
Of the movie?
Mm-hmm,
Well, it-- it started with a car chase,
and, uh, then the bad guy robbed a bank,
and then the superhero girl came and she landed
- on top of the car-- - And then happened, Stephen?
You don't know,,,
do you?
[Ben] When I first started out, I didn't have an office
and I held all my meetings at the RNR,
Back then,,,
I couldn't always pick up the tab,
which is embarrassing when you're trying to make deals,
so Emilio would comp meals for me,
[Aida] I think Emilio gave a free meal
to almost everyone in town, at one time or another,
That's just the kind of guy he was,
So, later, when he fell on lean times,
I stepped up,
And you actually owned the diner at one point, right?
Or Blackthorn Holdings did?
Yeah, Blackthorn is just one arm of my business,
I bought the diner
to help Emilio finance a remodel,
Mm, And what about that blue ledger he was holding
when you were talking to him?
I couldn't find it in his office,
Well, that's because it's mine,
- [Ben chuckles] - Oh,
It's my record of all the payments
to, and from, the diner,
I keep it here in my briefcase,
and you're more than welcome to look at it, if you like,
Aurora, I don't think it's necessary to invade his privacy,
That's all right, Aida, I've got nothing to hide,
Hmm,,,
You know, I found a torn-up copy of a check
that Emilio wrote from the company account
for $30,000,
Couldn't see who it was made out to,
although I have my suspicions,
Uh, 30,000? Really?
Yeah, Kind of strange, right?
I mean, he was so worried about paying more taxes,
yet he wrote a check for such a large amount,
without telling you-- his primary creditor,
I was never one to micro-manage his business,
Besides, if he had told me,
I probably would have congratulated him
on his profitability,
My investments always pay off,
[chuckles]
Kathleen!
What a happy surprise,
Sorry, Aida, I didn't realize you were in a meeting,
No, I-I think we're about done here, aren't we, ladies?
Oh, I actually would like to ask you a few more questions
- about Lauren, - Can it wait?
I have an idea that I'd really like to pass by Kathleen,
Uh, you know what? Maybe later,
I just came in to drown my sorrows in work,
Well, this might help!
I'm thinking of starting a fund,
in Emilio's name,
a nonprofit to help feed people, just like he did,
Oh, Ben, that's wonderful,
Oh, and before you leave,
I have some papers I need you to sign,
Oh, sure, Kathleen, in a couple minutes?
Um, thank you,
Oh, yeah,
Hey, Kathleen, um, do you mind if I asked you
some questions about Lauren?
I mean, if that's okay with you?
I doubt I'd be able to give you an unbiased answer,
but go ahead,
Did Emilio ever mention anything
about Lauren threatening or harassing him?
Actually, now that I think about it,
the only person he ever mentioned
threatening him was his son,
Stephen threatened Emilio?
Well, Emilio didn't use that word,
and he thought Stephen was just angry about the divorce,
and maybe he was,
But after we started dating,
Emilio told me that Stephen told him
that he felt that his father had stabbed him in the back,
and that he would do the same to him one day,
I figured it was just a figure of speech,
Maybe not,
Wow,
So, apparently, Stephen actually told Emilio
he was going to stab him,
Lo and behold, Emilio was stabbed,
- In the back, - Exactly!
I mean, here I was,
thinking that Stephen was covering for Lauren,
but I actually think she's been covering for him,
We think so, too,
All right, that's as far as you go,
Stephen, it's gonna be okay,
Just don't say another word until I get a lawyer here,
We will wait for the lawyer, Good day,
[Lauren sighs tensely]
You!
This is your fault!
You got them to come after my son!
I am going to make you regret it,
[♪♪♪]
So you're Aurora Teagarden,
the librarian who keeps throwing wrenches
in this investigation?
Wrench-throwing is her,,, specialty,
Mm-hmm,
And it also happened to get her threatened
by your brand-new lead suspect, I understand,
Suspect's mother, anyways,
Well, at least Stephen is finally a realistic suspect,
Oh! Well,,,
it seems your librarian skills are serving you well,
And you know what?
I'm happy you're keeping him honest,
Wouldn't hurt him to be reminded that he's not always right,
Cook,
[dryly] Thanks,
[sighs]
Sorry about that,
It's definitely not a good look for Lauren,
In case she was serious about those threats,
I'm gonna ask Cook to assign a patrolman
to keep an eye on you,
When I'm off-duty, it'll be me,
Arthur, that's kind, but I think that's unnecessary,
Please, It's just to keep you safe,
Well, thanks,
I appreciate it,
Um, I gotta get back to work,
[♪♪♪]
Hey,,, uh, Detective Cook?
Can I, um,,,
can I ask you a question?
Sure,
I-I know being a detective
means following the evidence and all that,
but,,, [sighs]
,,,what do you do
when your investigation
starts hurting people you care about?
People you trust?
Smith, are you asking about me and D,A, Morse?
What? No!
Is that what happened between you two, or--?
Um, sorry,
I-I think what I'm asking is,
how do you balance
being a police officer with,,,
,,,everything else?
Get a seat, Smith,
Passion makes people do crazy things,
That's why, as police officers,
we,,, need the process--
uh, collecting evidence, interrogation,
looking at the facts-- that's the work,
There's more to it
than what you're feeling or your gut,
Okay, so, h-how do you stop your,,,
how do you stop your gut
from influencing your police work?
You just learn to shut it out, or--?
[chuckles] Well, my advice is,,,
you don't shut it down completely,
Remember that, in addition to being an officer,
you're a regular person, too, Smith,
You're not just a badge,
If you can keep both sides open, then,,,
you'd be a better detective,,,
and hopefully not crash and burn three separate marriages,
Three?
Yeah,
Wow,
[chuckles]
[quietly] By the way,,,
I know this isn't about me and D,A, Morse,
Hey,
Thanks for staying,
Well, how am I supposed
to keep him from murdering people
if I'm not here?
Really sticking to your guns on that one, huh?
Hey,
How are you feeling?
Better,
Not that it matters,
They're gonna keep me for another 24 hours,
for observation,
Yeah, well, it's probably for the best,
Um,,,
the police are holding Stephen,
For attacking me?
No,
For Emilio,
Well, it's kind of hard to believe
that Emilio would be killed by his own son, but,,,
maybe all of this will be over soon,
Mm,
What is it?
[sighs] I don't know, I just,,,
I was so sure it was Lauren,
And yeah, the check wasn't made out to her,
but the beads from her earrings--
why were they there?
[♪♪♪]
Hey, How's it going?
Oh, um,,,
I've got some good books for you to consider,
I was just about to type up a list,
No, I-I meant you, Roe,
How are you doing?
Um,,,
I don't know,
I'm just,,, trying to let my brain work things out,
I thought maybe working on this unit would help,
You know what I always say,
that distraction from your primary objective
can sometimes help it snap into focus,
Hmm,
I, uh, I did want to ask you something, though,
Sure,
How common is patricide?
[deep breath] Hmm!
Well, uh,,, it's not very common,
I think the statistic that I read
was somewhere around 2% of all homicides,
What's much more common is the intimate partner,
That's somewhere around one-third,
Right! That's why I was so convinced
it was Lauren who killed Emilio,
Lauren was his ex, though, right?
Didn't you say that he had another more recent partner?
Yeah,
Kathleen,
Uh-huh,
Well, Miss Librarian,
looks like you just found a whole new person to research,
Kathleen,,,
[♪♪♪]
It wasn't my idea to lie about the movie,
My mom said I had to,
I think she might really believe that I killed my dad,
b-but I didn't,
Well, then, Stephen, who do you think did?
[scoffs]
You probably wouldn't believe me,
Why don't you give us a try?
It's okay, Stephen,
Okay,
I think it was his girlfriend--
Kathleen,
Why do you think that?
Well, the last time I talked to my dad,
back in the summer, we went for lunch,
and I don't know--
the things she was saying,
I mean, he was barely dating her,
and it already sounded like he didn't trust her,
Did he say that?
Not exactly, but he kept checking his phone,
He was waiting for her to text him,
a-and he said something like
he was afraid that
she was talking to this other guy,
What other guy?
I don't know,
but that kind of made me go off on him,
because, in my mind, I was like,
"Wow-- he left my mom just to get together
with someone who's cheating on him?"
[♪♪♪]
[Aida] Aurora! I didn't expect you back here today,
Is Kathleen here?
Uh, no, She's at a showing this afternoon,
Aurora!
What are you doing in here?
There's just some things in Kathleen's credit report
that I wanted to ask her about,
How do you know so much about Kathleen's credit report?
Never underestimate what a librarian has access to,
Well, that's scary,
Do you have any idea how inappropriate this is?
I mean, I could lose my job if Kathleen finds out
that you've been snooping around her desk!
I'm not snooping, I'm searching,
Why is there a bouquet in the trash?
I don't know-- condolence flowers?
Maybe she found them depressing,
[rustling]
There's no card,
[♪♪♪]
Aurora, I won't have you going through her things!
I'm just looking for the card,
- No, Aurora! Get out of there! - Mother!
I--
I almost slipped on beads just like these
when I found Emilio's body,
[♪♪♪]
[huffs]
Aurora, I am very upset with you,
To go searching through Kathleen's desk
without her permission?
I mean, it's probably illegal, and it's certainly unethical!
And it might help the police find Emilio's killer,
Kathleen is my boss!
I am not losing this job
because you're off on some wild-goose chase,
trying to prove to everyone else
that you know so much more than everybody else,
Mother!
Look, I like Kathleen, okay?
I-I do, and I thought
she and Emilio were happy together,
but according to Arthur, he didn't trust her,
He thought she was seeing someone on the side,
So maybe those were condolence flowers in the trash,
or maybe they were from another man,
[inhales tensely]
What?
Those aren't the first flowers I saw in the trash,
I saw another bouquet the day I started working there,
Before Emilio was killed?
Yeah,
Well, did you ever see her with another man
or talking on the phone?
You know, I feel like having some poached eggs,
Do you want one, too?
Mother!
Kathleen has $29,000 of credit card debt,
Arthur found the check that Emilio wrote for $30,000,
and it was made out to "cash,"
and it was cashed hours before he was killed,
and Arthur said they haven't found the money yet--
not in his car, not in the diner,
not in his house--
so, clearly, Emilio gave that money to someone,
and if he gave it to Kathleen to help with her debt,
and then found out she was cheating on him, he--
All right, all right!
I did hear her on the phone with someone else,
The only reason I noticed
is because her voice lowered when she was talking to him,
How do you know it was a "him"?
Because she called him "Casanova,"
Huh,
If you're asking where I was the night Emilio was killed,
I was at home, waiting for him to come over,
[Cook] So you were alone, then?
While I was waiting for my boyfriend?
Yes, I was alone,
That's not a crime,
and neither is having more credit card debt
than I'd like to admit,
Show me a realtor who hasn't gone into debt
since the market took a dive,
Well, we've subpoenaed your bank records,
You're saying we won't find that you paid off that debt
in the last few days?
By what magic would I have done that?
I've already told you-- yes, the necklace is mine,
Emilio gave it to me,
It was his mother's,
He apologized
that he couldn't give me the matching earrings,
but Lauren wouldn't give them up,
Were you wearing this
the last time you visited the diner?
I never wore it to the diner,
I never wore it at all, actually,
It's just been sitting in my desk,
You never wore it?
It's not really my style,
You know, when I gave my ex-wife jewelry,
she made it a point to wear it around me all the time,,,
,,,so I'd feel good about giving it to her,
Are you suggesting
I wore the necklace to make Emilio feel good
while I was stabbing him?
We're not suggesting that you went there
intending to kill him,
but maybe it ended up that way
after he accused you of cheating on him,
[cracks up]
[still laughing] Wow!
Uh, I've been cheated on,
It was miserable,
I would never do that to him,
Never,
[♪♪♪]
[Arthur] She seemed pretty convincing,
[Cook] Yeah, they all do,,,
until the evidence stacks up against them,
Grab an unmarked car, I want you to follow her,
What about Daniel?
As long as he's in that hospital,
we can let him sit tight
while we chase down the other leads,
If they don't pan out,
I got a warrant for Garcia burning a hole in my pocket,
What are you waiting for, Smith?
Right!
[♪♪♪]
[snaps, hushed] Roe!
Get in,
Arthur, I--
Will you please just get in the car?
[grunts irritably]
I can explain, I--
You know you shouldn't be following Kathleen,
Kinda odd she's going straight back to work
after being questioned by the police,
Did you question her about the necklace?
She says she's never worn the necklace,
[sighing]
Well, what about Emilio?
Did she admit to cheating on him?
You know I can't be discussing this with you,
Come on, I just want to know if my theory
about her cheating on Emilio was true,
- Roe-- - Arthur!
[sighs]
Fine,
She swears she never cheated on Emilio,
also says he never gave her any money,
and didn't even blink
when we said we could check her bank records,
Happy?
[sighs] Okay, so,,,
maybe Stephen was lying about his dad mistrusting her
to deflect attention from himself,
Did you ask her about the flowers?
I thought you said they were condolence flowers,
Apparently, they weren't,
My mother saw another bouquet in the trash
when she started working there,
and that was before Emilio died,
and I guess she heard Kathleen on the phone
with someone she called "Casanova,"
[sighing] Great,
I wish we knew that before we questioned her,
Well, let's go ask her right now,
- We can't, - Of course we can!
We've been over this before,
I'm a police officer,
It's my job to investigate, not yours!
[sighing]
This case is complicated enough as it is,
You're just gonna get in the way,
And I don't want you to get hurt,
[phone rings]
Hi, Daniel,
Hey!
They're finally releasing me, Want to come get me?
Uh, sure,
Great, Uh, would you mind stopping by my place
and grabbing me some clean clothes?
Mine are kind of messed up,
There's a spare key under the mat,
Okay, See you in a bit,
Do you mind if we stop off at Daniel's place?
At this point?
Sure,
[engine starts]
[deadbolt turns]
Arthur,,, look,
That's Emilio's handwriting, We have to open it,
We can't do that, That's a federal offense,
Arthur,
We could get a warrant,
Or,,,?
[envelope crinkling]
I don't understand,
It's Emilio's handwriting,
I can call a judge and get a warrant, or,,,
you can open it right now,
I don't know what this is!
I don't know why Emilio would send me anything,
You don't really believe me,
Daniel, I-- I think Arthur's right,
I think you should probably open it,
[paper tearing]
I don't know why he would send this to me!
[♪♪♪]
Cook,
I need you at the hospital,
[♪♪♪]
I had no idea Emilio was gonna send me money,
He never said a thing about it to me, I swear,
Stand up,
[♪♪♪]
I got this, Smith,
Turn around,
Daniel Garcia,,,
you're under arrest for the murder of Emilio Torres,
You have the right to remain silent,
Anything you say can, and will,
be used against you in a court of law,
You have the right to an attorney,
If you cannot afford an attorney,
one will be provided for you,
[♪♪♪]
You okay?
[sobs]
These last few days have been a nightmare,
I know,
Oh, Roe, I'm so sorry,
I'm so sorry,
I'm really sorry about what I said in the car,
I'm not trying to shut you out, Roe, at all,
I just,,,
I can't ever let anything happen to you,
[chuckles sadly]
I get it,
Thank you, Arthur,
[sighs]
Gosh, I just, I,,,
I just don't understand why Cook is so focused on Daniel,
I know he didn't do it,
I know it's hard to process right now,
but we don't arrest people
unless we have reason to believe they're guilty,
I've told you that he didn't do it,
He said he didn't know anything about the money,
and Daniel loved Emilio,
[raising voice] He had no reason to harm him,
Why can't you trust me on this?
Trust has nothing to do with this, Roe,
- You know that! - J-- [frustrated grunt]
Roe!
[♪♪♪]
You're trying to convince yourself
that somebody else killed Emilio--
anybody but Daniel,
Of course I am,
Okay, well, then tell me
what it is about getting $30,000 in the mail
from the victim
that screams to you, "Hey, I'm innocent,"
How does it scream "guilty"?
[sighs]
Okay, I think that Daniel was blackmailing Emilio, okay?
- Sally-- - No,
He's known him for so long,
He probably knew all of his secrets,
Maybe Daniel had something on him
and demanded money,
and so Emilio sent it,
but then maybe Daniel wanted more,
or wanted it faster-- I mean, who knows?
It's a bit of a reach, Sally,
Or you're in denial, Roe,
Okay? It's a powerful thing, I've been there,
Sally, this is nothing like you and Matt, okay?
This situation is completely different,
T-There's so many things that don't add up,
Like-Like, who attacked Daniel?
Stephen--
revenge for killing his father, like Detective Cook said,
and, obviously, he was gonna deny that,
Okay, well, then what about
the beads I found next to Emilio's body?
Lauren already told the police
that she was in the diner last week,
Or so she claimed,
Yes! She did!
[sighs] Well, I mean, I guess there's Kathleen,
who has the matching necklace, but,,,
then there's the flowers in the trash, but,,,
Roe, what flowers?
[♪♪♪]
That's a good question,
I didn't kill Emilio,
Okay,
I don't care if you believe me,
What's important is whether Roe believes me,
because, if she does,
you know what she's gonna do?
She's gonna find the real killer,
You know what? I take that back!
I do care if you believe me,
because if you don't, you are gambling with her life,
You know her, Arthur!
She won't stop,
She's gonna get closer and closer to the killer,
and I'm guessing the killer's not gonna like that,
I'm guessing the killer is gonna realize who she is,
and she's gonna be in a hell of a lot more trouble
than I am, Arthur!
[♪♪♪]
Smith! Where are you going?
[♪♪♪]
[pounding]
[calling out] Roe? Roe!
Arthur, what are you doing here?
Where's Roe?
Uh, I think she went to go buy some flowers?
- [sighing] - I don't know,
She was just looking up florists,
and she wouldn't tell me why,
You shouldn't have let her go alone,
Why?
Arthur, why can't she go buy flowers?
Arthur,
Hey! I was just about to call you,
I'm pretty sure I know who killed Emilio,
but I need just
- one more minute, okay? - Wait,
First, tell me where you-- [fast busy signal]
,,,You are,
She hung up,
Then call her back! What is going on?
Mother,
[chuckles] Oh! Aurora, you startled me,
Is Kathleen here? We should go,
Go? I-I can't leave,
I'm in the middle of a counter-offer,
and I don't know where Kathleen is,
- Mother! We really need to go, - Why?
[Roe] I know who killed Emilio,
Oh, hi,
[phone rings]
Come on, come on, come on, come on,
[message] You've reached Aurora Teagarden,
I can't come to the phone right--
She's not answering,
[Sally exhales]
Arthur, where are you going?
Cook!
Smith, where have you been?
Roe's missing, I need you
to get the phone company to ping her cell,
[♪♪♪]
I know how to pick a lock
if I can find something to help me jimmy it,
- Really? - Yeah,
A real-estate agent sometimes has reasons
to get into a house
without the convenience of a key,
[Roe rummaging in boxes]
[exhales pointedly]
[footsteps]
[Aida] So you're Kathleen's ex,,,
,,,the client she didn't want to handle anymore,,,
,,,the man she called "Casanova"?
Hmm! A good name for a cheater,
It happened one time,
I saw an old ex-girlfriend of mine,
and Kathleen decided to make a federal case out of it--
ending things just as they were going well,
No second chances, just "get lost,"
- Hmm, Quite a blow to the ego, - [snickers] Yeah,
Shut up!
And let me think,
No wonder Kathleen didn't tell us she was dating him,
Well, she probably felt humiliated,,,
betrayed,
[Ben] If anyone was betrayed,
it was me,
You felt betrayed
when you found out Emilio was dating Kathleen?
You killed Emilio
because of some stupid, petty jealousy?
It wasn't about jealousy-- it was about respect,
[snaps] After everything that I did for Emilio?
You invested in Emilio,
Yes!
I bailed him out again and again,
and he knew how I felt about Kathleen!
He knew that I wanted her back,
Which is why you kept sending the flowers,
17 bouquets have been sent to this office
in the last few months,
Oh, you've done some very thorough research,
How annoying,
She's a librarian, She can't help herself,
You know, that is what Emilio said that morning
when I asked him if he was dating Kathleen,
Said he couldn't help himself,
Said he didn't think that it was a betrayal,
because he didn't think she'd say yes,
But she did say yes, eventually,
[Ben] Well, they were dating each other for months
behind my back,
and if Daniel hadn't said anything about Kathleen
that morning,
I probably still wouldn't know,
and Emilio would still be making a fool out of me,
You were angry when you realized,
You told Emilio that he needed to "understand the implications"
of dating the woman that you wanted,
I'm guessing you threatened to foreclose on the diner,
take it away from him,
- I'm ruthless that way, - Well, I bet
Emilio panicked when he heard that,
It would explain why he suddenly wrote a check to "cash,"
put it in the mail to Daniel--
someone he knew he could trust,
He wanted to have something left when you were done with him,
My only question is, how did you find out?
[chuckles]
The idiot told me himself that night--
bragging that there'd be nothing left for me,
So you grabbed the knife
that Daniel accidentally left behind
and stabbed Emilio in the back?
I thought it would be hard to do,
but, surprisingly,,,
,,,it wasn't,
[♪♪♪]
No, it's probably not hard to stab a man in the back
if he doesn't see it coming,,,
or to hit Daniel in the head
before he noticed
that you returned to the scene of the crime--
to, what?
Get something incriminating that you left behind?
What about killing someone face-to-face?
I mean, that is what you plan to do here, right?
Not so easy, is it?
You know, Ben,,,
I teach true-crime literature,
and a ruthless killer, you are not,
You have no idea what I am capable of,
[gate rattling]
- Mother, run! - [Ben grunts]
[♪♪♪]
[Ben gasping and straining]
[grunting intensely]
[grunts]
- [Roe yelps] - Ben!
- [wham] - [thud]
[sighs, panting]
Mother!
Oh, D-Did you really think I would leave you here with him?
Oh!
Of course not,
Oh, I-- I didn't know you had that in you,
[laughs] Neither did I,
I guess I lost my best client,
It was fun while it lasted,
Are you okay?
Yeah, Are you?
Uh,,, I will be,
[sirens in distance]
It sounds like Arthur is on the way,
[laughing] Oh, of course,
[♪♪♪]
That service was so beautiful,
I mean, hearing everyone's stories about Emilio,
I-- it was just so moving!
He touched so many lives,
Oh,,,
We wanted to thank you,,,
for finding Emilio's killer,
It's given us a measure of peace,
I just wish he was still here,
I never got a chance to say sorry
for the way I acted,
Oh, no, Stephen, he knew,
I-I promise you, your dad loved you so, so much,
Oh, he loved you your whole life!
[tenderly] Ohh,,,
[bursts into sobs]
Oh! Oh, don't cry,
[Lauren] You're okay!
Of course,
[♪♪♪]
- Hey, - Hi,
Oh, I like you in a suit,
Thanks, Yeah, you are, um,,,
you're amazing,
I'd still be sitting
in a jail cell right now, if not for you,
Well, uh,,,
yeah, [chuckles]
You know, it was really nice of you
to open the diner for everyone to gather,
Does this mean you're ready to reopen for business?
It's not my decision to make,
I'm gonna sign it off to Stephen,
It should've gone to him anyway,
Oh, Wow,
Um,,,
Uh, Roe, I think,,,
I think I need to go away for a little bit,
I have this culinary degree,
but I've never really worked anywhere else, and,,,
I only stayed here as long as I did
because of Emilio, and now that he's gone,
it's just, um,,,
I just don't want you to think
that you are not worth staying for,
because I've loved every single minute
that we have spent together, it's just--
Daniel,
It's okay,
I understand,
Thank you,
[♪♪♪]
♪ From the moment we locked eyes,,, ♪
[♪♪♪]
♪ Till you placed your heart in mine,,, ♪
[♪♪♪]
- Hey, - Hey,
Daniel doing okay?
Um,,,
I,,, think so,
Um, he just told me he's leaving town,
Oh!
So,,, what does that mean for the diner?
Are you still gonna work here?
I have no idea,
[both chuckling]
Well, I'm sure there are other places
they can send me to fetch coffee,
Hey, stop! You are not gonna be making coffee runs forever,
You're gonna make detective before you know it,
Roe, I put the wrong guy in cuffs,
Yeah, but you never really believed that Daniel did it,
- did you? - Only because you didn't,
And I happen to trust you,
[♪♪♪]
You know,
you are one very smart detective, Arthur Smith,
What's that saying?
Behind every smart detective--
,,,Is a smart librarian?
I was gonna say "genius librarian," but--
Oh! Yes, I like that,
I like "genius librarian,"
I thought you might!
