- Hey, Mom. - Oh! Jesus!
I didn't even know you were here!
And why are you here? You're supposed to be
- at Grandma and Grandpa's. - Yeah, I didn't feel good
on the way to school, so Dad dropped me off and said
- that I could stay home today. - What's the matter?
- I have a stomach ache. - Well...
Well, you don't look or feel sick, kiddo.
- I am, Mom. - OK.
Are you sure you're OK to stay home alone all day?
I'll be fine, I'll have my phone.
Well... Go get into bed before I change my mind.
Are you and Dad getting a divorce?
Is that why we've been staying with Grandma and Grandpa
- without you? - What?
No!
No, it's... because they miss you so much
and because of my crazy work schedule
- these past few days. - Emma's mom took her
to stay with her Grandparents for a week last year and...
now, her dad lives in a condo in Liberty Village.
Hey, come here.
You are far too perceptive for your own good,
you know that?
It's one of the millions of reasons
why I love you so much. You're right.
Me and Dad have been a bit off, but... divorce?
Nah-ah. No. We are team Hall.
We operate as a unit of four. Yeah?
- Yeah. - Yeah. OK.
Go on. Go get into bed.

Staff Inspector, hi. Nice to see you again.
Huh, victim's name is Jason Dune.
- 50, Caucasian. Three gunshots... - Where's the body?
- Huh, in the basement. - Thank you, Phillips!
Huh, it's... Phelps.
♪
Where's the gun?
We bagged it and sent it off to the firearms unit for examination.
- The wife? - She's upstairs with Sullivan.
- She's still pretty wasted. - [3-50.]
[Forensics just pulled in. Should we send them in?]
Tell them to wait. I want my guys to see it clean first.
Copy that. 3-18. Boss says hold them up.
- We're waiting on her detectives. - Any kids in the house?
- No, boss, no kids. - Teri-Lynn Dune,
I'm Detective Fiona Currie. I'm gonna be in charge of this investigation.
- How did you get that black eye? - I don't know.
- Was it from your husband? - I don't remember.
You want to tell me what happened last night?
I woke up.
There was so much blood...
(CRYING): But I don't remember what happened!
I want you to listen to something, Teri-Lynn.
- 9-1-1, what's your emergency? - He's shot!
He's not breathing!
Oh, my God! There's blood... everywhere!
- OK. Ma'am, ma'am, who's shot? - My husband.
I think he's... dead!
- Ma'am, who shot your husband? - I have the gun!
I shot him! Oh, my God!

Cooper!
Pfff! Woman who downed a bottle of whisky last night
and shot her husband smells better than you.
(SCOFFS) Alright, ladies. What do we see?
- .45 caliber. - Nickel plated Colt 45
registered to our victim here. Bought it 2 years ago.
- Lockbox is upstairs in their bedroom. - They get wasted...
He gets violent, he punches her and then
- passes out drunk on the couch. - She's drunk herself,
fed-up with her abusive husband. She get upstairs,
grabs the gun, comes back, then pops three off on him
from...
here!
Passes out, wakes up from her drunken stupor at...
- 6:50am. - Gun in the hand, dead husband,
- called 9-1-1. - No sign he was
in an altercation though, right? No scratches, mark,
no pulled hair... fabric burns... I don't know.
Something doesn't feel right.
You know what? You're right. Why would come
- all the way down the stairs... - Yeah.
...go over there, sit down and then shoot him?
This is a crime of passion, so she would've come down
the stairs, seen him and shot him either from here
or if she wanted to be face to face... from here.
It's weird to walk all the way over there and take a seat.
And another thing. The whole area of disturbance
doesn't have an erratic violence sense to it.
You wouldn't pass out right after shooting somebody.
Adrenaline would be pumping through your veins
- no matter how drunk you are. - Let's get a warrant
for a tox screen on her. There's more to this scene.
Huh.
She's still mad at me for interfering
with my brother in that case last week.
- She hates me. - Just do your job
- and it will pass. - Well, easy for you to say.
You're not the one who might be transferred.
I couldn't have.
I've never held a gun, let alone shot a gun.
Can you... tell us
about your relationship with your husband?
That left eye looks pretty sore.
He can't hurt you anymore.
We fought a lot, yeah, but...
still, I would never shoot him.
- Ever thought about it? - Sure.
But I wouldn't have done it like that.
What a mess...
Could you tell us
who this young lady is?
It's my daughter.
We didn't notice a room for her in the house.
What does this have to do with my husband's murder?
What's your daughter's name?
Annabelle.
- Where is she? - She was taken
- away from me when she was seven. - From you and your husband.
Jason is not her biological father.
He moved in with us when she was five.
And why was Annabelle taken away from you?
I was in and out of rehab.
She ended up being left alone one weekend and...
Children's aid showed up.
Did you ever try
to regain custody of Annabelle?
I couldn't afford the lawyer fees.
What would Annabelle say
about yours and your husband's relationship?
I don't know. She can be...
off in the head.
Probably because she's not with me.
My daughter loves me.
She loves me.
And I'm a great Mother.
Alright I got Annabelle Martin, 15 years old.
Lives at a Kingsfield Place Group Home in Scarborough.
And why are we talking to her, again? A better question is:
Why are we not charging that woman with murder?
I'm not convinced she did it.
- We talk to the neighbors. - Yeah, every single one of them
confirmed that the couple was always fighting.
Mr. Bryson says
he heard them yelling at each other last week.
Has her quoted as saying, I QUOTE: "I'm gonna kill you."
And she had the gun. Lockbox's key was on her
and confirmed GSR on her hands and on her clothes.
Price's neighbor said she yelled at him.
That doesn't sit right. Most abused victims are afraid
to yell back at their abusers. This woman doesn't make any sense to me.
- Maybe they were abusing each other. - No, he had no marks on him
- to suggest an altercation. - Her left eye.
Localised nature of the bruising definitely suggests
a right hook. His right hand, look at that ring.
Thick ring, that would have left a distinct mark.
There's something off about where she shot him from.
Why take a seat on the other side of the living-room?
Personal killing.
She sat down, wanted to see him die, to talk to him
- before she did it. - Get your own!
I smell it now. This is your hangover food.
When she woke up, she was covered in blood.
She went over to him, she tried to save him, she tried to hug him.
Why would you do that if your intention was to kill him?
I'm sure she woke up,
- regretted a few things... - Hall, Cooper, go talk to the daughter.
I'm curious to see what she has to say about them.
And the rest of you, go talk with Teri-Lynn's friends,
family, any coworkers... Is there a side boyfriend?
Same with Dune. Who else wanted him dead?
I wanna make sure we've got the right person
before we charge her.
Don't think I didn't noticed the Alvin Flowers file.
That case is closed. Why did you sign that out?
There's just something about this case...
Fiona's twig at the murder scene just got me thinking back
to how we found Flowers and...
I think his suicide may have been staged.
- Don't do this to yourself. - I am not ignoring my gut anymore.
Seems to me you're kind of good at ignoring your gut.
- (DOORBELL RINGS) - Hi, I'm Detective Stevie Hall.
- This is Detective Jac Cooper. - Hi, I'm Faye, social worker
- on shift right now. - Is Annabelle Martin home?
- Yes. Everything OK? - We'd like to speak to her
- if that's alright. - Huh, yeah. OK.
- Is it cool if I'm with you? - Yeah. That's fine.
Actually, the news we have is quite heavy, so...
- Your support would be welcomed. - OK. Yeah, sure.
I'm not putting my Air Maestros in there.
- They're pristine! - Just get them.
They're just shoes, they'll be fine.
Guys! Washer is overloaded, it's overflowing in the basement.
- Huh... Why me? - You're the closest to me.
You all have individual days to do your laundry, you know that.
Annabelle's up in her room and I doubt she'll come out.
- You'll have to come up to her. - OK.
Hey, who are they?
Just get downstairs, clean the basement up, OK?
- All of you, now. - (KNOCKING)
Annabelle? There are a couple of nice ladies
- here to speak to you. - (DOOR OPENS)
Hey, hon?
These women here are police detectives.
- Hi, Annabelle. I'm Stevie. - I'm Jac.
We have some...
Huh, some bad news for you.
About your stepfather. Jason Dune.
Unfortunately, he was found dead this morning
- at your mom's house. - Oh, my God!
Annabelle...
Do you understand what I just said?
- (LAUGHING) - Annabelle?
(LAUGHING)
Just assumed Annabelle's mom would have told you.
- (LIQUID POURING) - She has bipolar disorder
and she is on the spectrum for dissociative identity disorder.
She can react in uncommon ways to situations
when she's having an off day is all.
Right, Belle?
Not a good day, huh?
We completely understand.
Annabelle?
Can you tell us about your mother?
Teri-Lynn?
Or your stepfather?
Sorry. She's not choosing to evade your questions
or anything.
Did your mom and stepdad get along?
Did your mom ever talk to you about him?
Sorry.
Sometimes I disappear in my mind.
That's OK.
- We all do that sometimes. - Sorry, girls.
Can you give us a minute?
Thanks.
Annabelle, do you remember where you were
last night between 10pm and 6am?
(LAUGHING) Sorry!
Sorry, I just... I just thought of...
Imagine a chicken
- and a tea cozy... - Belle?
Last night? Probably sleeping, yeah?
Another staff, Molly, was on the overnight last night.
She can confirm Annabelle was here. She's actually
Annabelle's personal support worker too, so...
she knows Annabelle the best.
So, if you could give us
a call back or come in to the precinct today...
- We really need to speak to you. - (PHONE VIBRATING)
Thank you, Molly. I saw that.
Why is Marc Savage calling you?
Huh... Marc's wife
found out about the affair, she kicked him out...
He came crawling back trying to play house...
- No! No, no! - No, don't... don't worry.
- I'm not... I left. - What do you mean, you left?
- Technically, he kicked me out. - What?
Hold on. Pardon me?
All real life, unfortunately.
So where are you staying?
(SIGHS) I slept in my car.
- Oh! - But first,
I drank a whole bottle of wine to my face on the beach
while listening to CNN on my phone.
- CNN? - That is the detail
that you bumped on? You know, Syria, Trump,
people with real problems,
perspective... All that good stuff.
You're staying with us.
No. I'm just gonna Airbnb or whatever. It's fine.
Stop it. I am not asking you, I am telling you.
- (KEYS CLINKING) - OK, fine. Thank you!
(INDISTINCT CHATTER)
(GUNSHOTS)
Hall! Anything from the daughter?
Huh, not sure yet. Huh... She wasn't in a coherent
state of mind, so... we are waiting to hear back
from the social worker she was with last night.
Tox screen came back from Teri-Lynn and Dune.
Both tested positive for ketamine and a lot of it.
It's a miracle neither of them died from an overdose.
- So they were drugged? - Or using. They found packets
- in the basement. - Get Aaron on the phone.
He's still out there talking with Dune's people, yeah?
- I believe he is, yeah. - Tell him to check if either
of them are known users. Maybe she was lying.
Hey, Thelma and Louise! Molly Apfel's out front looking for you.
As soon as I got your message, I came in.
I... I already talked to Faye, she told me
about Annabelle's stepfather, the... It's crazy!
- Thank you so much for coming... - Yeah, I... I just wanted
to make sure Annabelle wasn't in any kind of trouble, right?
Yeah. We just wanted to ask Annabelle
- about her parents. - Oh, OK.
- Right, yeah. - You OK, Molly?
Yeah, I'm fine. I'm fine. Um...
I... I just...
It must be my nerves, I just... you know, you're cops!
(SIGHS) I don't know.
I'm sorry. I've just been... weird today. Um...
I tried to take a nap, but my head is just...
- spinning, so... - You want some water?
Yeah, yeah. Thank you.
You're pretty close with Annabelle, yeah?
Oh, yeah.
I... I got... a pretty big soft spot for that kid.
We... we kind of have similar backgrounds.
I was raised in the system too. I had pretty terrible parents.
- You've met Annabelle's parents? - Huh... Just her mom.
She can be a real piece of work.
- Victim complex, narcissist... - Does Annabelle ever talk about them?
Mentioning either of them can be...
pretty triggering for Annabelle.
- What do you mean? - Like, if the conversation
is directed towards either of her parents
or even after a visit with her mom, we...
usually... lose her. Sometimes for days.
And why do you think that is?
These are just assumptions. Annabelle has never come out
and made any accusations, but... 90% of people
who develop dissociative identity disorder,
they...
they're almost always victims of...
severe abuse.
Right. Mostly sexual abuse.
Molly, you were on the overnight shift
last night. Was Annabelle home with you?
Actually, she had an overnight at Brightwood Center.
Huh, a sleep clinic thing, cause... cause of her meds
and we all... hopped in the caravan
and we dropped her off around 9pm.
Huh, and I...
I totally forgot to log it into our calendar,
but you can call Brightwood, they should be able to verify.
And then, you were home
with the other girls for the rest of the night?
Hmm.
So the stepfather sexually abused her.
Offers more motive for our suspect right here, no?
- Molly was hiding something. - Stevie's right.
- She was nervous. - OK. I want someone on Molly.
Let's spin her for 24 hours, see where she's going,
- who she's talking to. - OK.
- Shall we? - Yeah.
We dropped by Kingsfield Place today.
Can you tell us more about Annabelle's relationship
- with her stepfather? - Why?
But they weren't close.
- I already said that. - Would you say she was avoidant
of him? Or scared of him?
- He never laid a hand on her. - What about when you were away
in rehab and she was left alone with him?
I mean, if I had found out anyone touched my kid,
I'd probably pop one off on them too.
No.
No!
What do you know about Molly Apfel?
That bitchy social worker?
Her attitude is so disrespectful.
I am Annabelle's Mother, not her.
I would probably have Annabelle back
if it wasn't for her.
I don't wanna talk anymore.
My head is pounding.
All the pieces in place to lay charges.
All the physical evidence points to her.
She made the call, had the gun. We have motive now.
Seems a little too pat for me, Price.
And I don't want to step into a well-laid trap.
(STEVIE): You're doing laundry?
Yup!
- Your sheets? Did you get sick today? - I... got my period today.
That's why I stayed home,
- I had like cramps and stuff. - Oh, my God! Your first period!
Mom, it's like my fourth period.
Huh, I'm gonna... go watch TV. Bye!
Mom, it's not that big of a deal.
It's not a thing. Emma and Ruby and Joy all were with me,
- so I just talked with them. - OK.
So the fact that you don't think this is a thing
tells me that you are...
not emotionally mature to have your period.
This is why I didn't come to you!
Wha... Katie!
- You good? - Yeah.
Just a typical Mother-Daughter hallmark moment.
Yeah.
Let me get you some sheets for the couch.
Um...
Why did you have these Flowers files send out?
Uh, because Harry is coming over tomorrow
and I wanted to go over the scene of the suicide
- with him. - Huh...
- Where is your salt? - What?
Huh, I just figured you might want to pour it
- in your wounds and all that. - OK, stop that.
I get enough sass from my teen daughter.
At least she does her own laundry.
Hey... You know, at the group home
this afternoon... The social worker, Faye...
She was having a go at the girls
because they were all doing
their laundry on the same day, right?
Yeah. They... they weren't supposed to be.
They each have their own specific days or whatever.
OK, so... why were they all doing their laundry
at the same time on the same day?
Huh... Molly? I mean, she was with the girls
and they were definitely interested
in what we were talking to Annabelle about.
Maybe Molly...
spearheaded some kind of vigilante act.
It's possible.
I think we should look into the other girls.
Hey, partner.
You were gone before the kids were even up.
Hmm. I know. I couldn't sleep thinking about those girls,
so... I did a little digging. Check it.
Joney Macintosh, the oldest girl in the home, she was raped
for years ago. Had her rape kit done at St. Victoria's.
- Pressed charges against her assaulter. - Interesting. He get convicted?
Yeah. He got five years. Now, I couldn't find anything
on Soj Reyes, but Tayla Jones, her foster father,
who she lived with for a few years has a record of domestic abuse.
And judging by Molly's saying that her and Annabelle have similar backgrounds,
I'm guessing that she's probably got abuse in her past too.
- Yeah. - Someone still surveilling her?
Huh... Aaron was. He said she's still at the apartment.
- You wanna go pay a visit? - Hmm. Yeah.
Just eat the whole thing.
- You're my best friend. - Halfway there.
It's against the home rules for staff to sleep
- while they're on shift. - But you did? It's OK, Molly.
- Just tell us the truth. - It's never happened before.
So you don't know if the other three girls were home all night.
No, I don't. I don't even remember at what time I...
It's like I blacked out. I... I woke up
feeling groggy on the couch at 6am yesterday morning.
I was jittery the rest of the day.
But everything was fine. I mean, all the girls...
Joney, Taylor, Soj, they were all asleep in their rooms
- when I woke up. - Would you mind taking a drug test?
No. They... they wouldn't do that to me.
They couldn't have done this.
(SIGHTS) My tea...
I had my tea... and then, yeah.
I felt anxious, drowsy... Like I didn't know
what was happening. What the hell!
I guess we don't have to ask who made you the tea.
- (KNOCKING) - Just heard back from the lab.
They found ketamine in Molly's system.
Price! I want a warrant to search that group home.
So, what? You think they drug Molly, sneak out,
break into Annabelle's parents' house, drug them...
Wait until they're out, shoot Dune and frame Teri-Lynn.
We don't have a single piece of evidence that links us
to those girls. What'd they do? Take the transit up there?
Can you even get across town in the middle of the night?
- A cab? Paid cash? - OK. Check any CCTV footage
within a 2K diameter of the group home
and Teri-Lynn's house. Track down those girls.
Annabelle and Soj
are at Kingsfield. OK, bring them in.
Price! Search that group home.
Tayla Jones goes to Camden Collegiate.
- Sullivan! Pick her up. - I don't know
- where Joney Macintosh is. - Find her, Cooper.
Joney Macintosh?
- I need you to come with me. - What's up?
I'll explain on the way.
I knew there was more to this case.
Those girls are involved.
Two nights ago, Molly, your social worker
on the night shift... She was drugged.
Ketamine. She passed out on the couch.
- Really? I had no idea. - And what were you doing
- that night? - I was watching
The Handmaid's Tale with Soj in her room.
- And then I went to bed. - What time?
From about ten to midnight. Then she went to her room.
I stayed up on Facebook for a bit.
- And where was Tayla? - She was in the bath
until eleven.
Then she was in her room, listening to music.
- What was she listening to? - DJ Maza.
And what were Soj and Joney up to?
They were in Soj's room, watching The Handmaid's Tale.
The other girls in the house...
Joney, Tayla and Soj...
You like them?
Yeah.
A lot.
They're nice to me.
That's great. Like older sisters.
Yeah.
Can you tell me about Annabelle?
What kind of relationship do you have with her?
Huh, she's cool. You know, once you get to know her
- and everything. - Did she ever confide in you
about being abused by her stepfather
- in any kind of way? - No.
- No.
Did you ever tell the other girls
that your stepdad hurt you in any way?
My daughter is thirteen
and her friends are her lifeline.
She tells them things
way before she tells me.
Why were you all doing your laundry
- at the same time yesterday? - Oh, we had a bet
to see which one of us could have the cleanest room.
I won.
Yeah. We went and searched all your rooms.
Cleanest teen rooms
our detectives had ever seen.
Did you know that your stepdad owned a gun?
- Yeah. - And...
did you ever tell the other girls
that there was a gun in your house?
Yeah, I think so.
Who did you tell?
Joney.
Have you ever been to Annabelle's parents' house?
Joney, I know what it feels like,
that bundled up rage in your guts at your age.
Do you? I'm pretty sure we had
very different upbringings, detective.
(CLEARS THROAT)
- Got her story down to a T. - Beautifully rehearsed.
I'm just going in circles now.
I didn't get much out of Annabelle.
But I do think she told Joney about the gun.
- We heard anything from Price or Finch? - Nothing yet.
Did you go through all their social media?
Yeah. Nada.
(SIGHTS)
- Is this Joney's file? - Hmm-mm.
- Jonathan Miller. - Yeah, what about him?
Oh, he's getting out next year.
That must be pretty upsetting, huh?
Out? No, he's not exactly in.
You didn't read the fine print there, huh?
No, he was...
deemed a vulnerable person.
He's a serial rapist!
The judge didn't think
that prison was safe for him, so he's been in this...
this hospital or something.
Yes, we have a system that repeatedly fails
sexual assault victims.
Is that why you decided to take justice
into your own hands with Annabelle's stepfather?
I had nothing to do with his murder.
- You knew where the gun was. - What? What gun?
- Are you right or left handed? - I...
Hmmm? I'm gonna guess right. Think if we X-rayed that hand,
we'd see any... fractures, markings?
Indications that you might have punched someone?
Yeah, probably. Because I box every Tuesday night at...
Joney! A man is dead.
And regardless whether you think
- he assaulted Annabelle... - Regardless? Regardless?
Screw that Do you know
that Annabelle's messed up for life?
No, no, her brain is literally fragmented
because of them. Those people are monsters!
And if you ask me, he got what he deserved.
And so did she. He can rot away in the ground
and she can rot away in prison.
They did it. They totally did it.
Joney's not giving me anything else and they are all stonewalling us now.
There's nothing that puts these girls at the scene.
It's incredible, really, what they might have pulled off.
They didn't pull off anything.
Aaron, you found something? Where did they get the ketamine?
- I don't know! - CCTV footage? Their phones?
If they did it, they left them behind. Location puts them at their home.
- Oh, come on! - Are we even really sure
this is what went down? I know what Joney said to you, but...
- maybe she was messing with you. - Molly, Teri-Lynn and Dune had
ketamine in their system. That is not a coincidence.
The staging of the murder scene,
Teri-Lynn's mystery black eye, washing all their clothes the next morning.
Come on! How did they do this?
Could they have even done it within the time line?
Left their house, walked a few blocks.
I checked. There is a transit route that would've taken an hour and 20 minutes,
- so... possible? - Then they break in.
They know Teri-Lynn and Dune are alcoholics, so they spike
their whisky bottle. They wait for them to pass out.
They stage the scene, they flip the table,
they mess things up.
So let's say Joney knew where the gun was.
She props it in Teri-Lynn's hand.
The other two stand out of the way, make sure that they
- don't get blood on them. - (GUNSHOT)
(GUNSHOTS)
OK. We didn't find anything. A hair, a single fiber,
- anything linking the girls! - They're wearing gloves, balaclavas.
(GUNSHOT)
And before they leave, Joney stops
in front of Teri-Lynn, punches her in the face.
Did they mean to kill Teri-Lynn but ran out of time?
- Why frame her? - Enable her.
She was drunk or in rehab. She left her alone with him.
You two, go back and talk to the daughter again. The rest of you,
call cab companies, transit operators at the time, neighbors.
Did they see anything with the girls? Come on,
- let's find something. - Yup.
Annabelle...
We think that your friends may have been involved
in the murder of your stepdad.
We think they may have been protecting you
or getting back at him for hurting you.
Did he ever hurt you?
You haven't done anything wrong, OK?
And you will never get in trouble
for anything that you tell us.
My mom will get mad at me.
You don't have to see your mom if you don't want.
There were checkups.
At nap time.
That's when I would turn into a teddy bear.
And did your mom know
that Jason was giving you these checkups?
(CRYING)
It was my mom.
She did the checkups.
Jason took the pictures.
"Mother and Daughter.
October 2015."
Just like twins.
"Mother and Daughter, June 2016."
"Mother and Daughter, April 2014."
You know, my mother used to put up pictures of me
when I was a kid too. Always wrote my name
on the back of them.
But it's as if you see Annabelle
as an object.
Your daughter.
Annabelle has accused you
of sexually assaulting her when she was a child.
Lies.
She's lying.
You met her. She's not right in the head.
And I think we know why now.
So regardless of the murder charge,
you're gonna be facing an investigation by the SCU.
You know what might help your case?
To admit to sexually assaulting your daughter
provides a strong motive for the other girls.
I want to see her.
Where is she?
Don't look at me that way. Where is she?
- With the sex crimes unit. - I want to see her.
- Now! - (BANGING ON TABLE)
You're never gonna see your daughter again.
I'm gonna make sure of that.
I did it.
I killed Jason.
I killed that bastard.
She'd rather confess to the murder
than to the sexual abuse.
I don't understand why they didn't just kill her too.
I'm not discrediting here, but this is super rare. Right?
Maternal incest? Rare?
Who knows? Under reported, under recognised,
under researched, yes, yes and yes.
She did confess.
All the evidence points to her.
I say we charge her, let the lawyers figure it out.
Yeah... Why not?
She screwed her kid up for life.
Girls were right. She got what she deserved.
Rather than some long, drawn out SCU investigation.
Turn her over to sex crimes.
And when they're done with her charge her
- with second degree murder. - What about the girls?
We got nothing concrete to keep here. It's all circumstantial.
- Nothing will stick. - Release them.
But we're gonna keep tabs on them, right?
Absolutely. One missed step and we're on them.
Yeah.
Joney. Come here.
- What? - Your mother...
She was in Montclair penitentiary.
Life sentence. She took her own life.
Yeah. Whatever.
I mean, she tried to kill herself
twice before that and...
third time's the charm, right?
You know, she used to write me these letters
about how... prison was way worse
than being dead.
(SCOFFS)
You know, it's...
not fair that your mom died.
It's not fair that you went shuffled around
from home to home
or that you were raped
when you were 14 years old.
Every terrible,
horrific thing that has happened to you
is not fair.
And it doesn't matter,
cause those are the cards that you've been dealt.
So now, you got to play the hell out of them.
- Come on, Joney! - Take it.

See you at home?
I'll be right behind you. I just have a couple of emails
- to finish up. - OK. Good night.
- Good night, all. - Huh, boss! Huh...
Do you have a sec to talk about my upcoming potential transfer?
Yeah, I spoke with the staff sergeant
at 45 division and you start there in 2 weeks.
Oh, that's why I wanted to talk to you. I actually...
Cooper, I am so sorry, but I'm late to meet my daughter.
OK.
I'm not gonna sugarcoat it.
45 division is pretty boring, kiddo.
Thanks, Harry.
You called about the Alvin Flowers case?
You're not going down the rabbit hole, are you, Bims?
He didn't kill himself.
He didn't. I felt it when I walked onto the scene.
You know, the redhead murders were all about the process.
They were calculated, every detail
was thought through. He would never have killed himself
in such a careless way.
He would've wanted to... create a spectacle.
- What are you thinking, Stevie? - That it was someone
who knew the inner workings of a crime scene.
- What? Like a cop? - Yeah.
I know it sounds crazy, but...
it was only cops who knew about Alvin.
I think someone
could've taken advantage knowing that we were onto the wrong guy.
But Stevie, Flowers left you a note.
Salad's ready.
Auntie Jay, sit beside me for dinner.
Hmmm, I don't know. You were kind of a bit mean
to my best friend last night, so...
♪
What are you doing, Stevie?
How did you know about the note?
I didn't tell anybody about the note.
I was ashamed of it.
Why?
Why, Stevie?
Why did you have to keep digging?
Let's go for a walk.
Let's talk about it. Hmm?
Yeah. Let's do that.
Mom? Auntie Jay is refusing to sit with me and it's your fault.
Sweetheart, why don't you go back into the kitchen,
help your grandma make dinner, huh?
Grandma's not making dinner. Auntie Jay is.
OK, go... go and tell Jac, huh,
that I want a Margarita, OK? We're going for a walk.
- Like the pizza? - No. Like the drink.
- OK. - I love you!
- Auntie Jay... - Oui?
Mom said to make her a Margarita.
- She hates tequila. - She hasn't had it
since she was in Mexico for her wedding.
Katie, when did she say this to you? Where is she?
She went for a walk with Grandpa. She was acting
kind of... weird.
