You good, bud?
Actually, I've never been better.
I... I am a picture of Serenity.
Hey, hey! Hey, none of that. No.
I'm sorry! Hey.
It's fine. It's fine.
- I'm gonna drive home. - No.
What's the worst that can happen?
You are not doing that. I'm putting you in this cab.
- Come on. - Cash only. Up front.
I know. Okay, come on.
It's 1507 buffington Avenue, cherry hill.
Come on, we're getting in the car.
- Cherry hill, okay. - Yeah.
Is this enough?
- Fine. - Okay.
I'm gonna call you in the morning.
Okay.
Then Alyssa rips off her jumpsuit to reveal
this amazing sequin moment.
We have her in a single spot as she sings the iconic tweet,
and then the cast starts coming out saying, "me too."
And one by one, everyone in the audience stands
because we've all been affected.
We've all been me too'd by the patriarchy.
That's gonna be so powerful.
I'm, like, literally crying right now.
So it's like a "Spartacus" thing.
Spartacus?
Which season of "drag race" were they on?
The movie with kirk Douglas.
- I don't know who that is. - Wait.
Alyssa should do, like, the savage
or, like, an empowering, you know, like, Wednesday,
and the other people could join in when they stand.
Yes.
Hey, do you know where the bathroom is?
- It's, back in the corner. - I'll be back.
There you are.
I was wondering where you drifted off to.
I was just trying to FaceTime an a is.
- Is everything all right? - Yeah.
I just feel so out of place in there.
What? In a room full of gays?
Everyone's so young and trendy.
It's intimidating.
This is intimidating?
Come on.
How many times have you been shot at in the last year?
That's different. I know that world.
This... I do not belong here.
Maybe it's time that you just slowed down a little bit
and learn more about this world,
one not filled with guns and badges.
Come on, I'll teach you how to speak gen-z.
It's late.
It's 9:30.
I know, but I got work tomorrow.
And I miss my kids.
Yeah.
I need to get going.
All right. I'll grab our coats.
No, no, no, no, no. You should stay.
Listen, it's not you, I swear.
I'm just in this weird headspace right now.
You know, you can talk to me if you want.
I know that.
I just wanna be alone right now.
I hope you understand.
Hey, buddy, if you're gonna vomit, I'll pull over.
And try not to get any on the car.
I can't vomit.
See, I'm not a human.
These aren't human hands.
This... this is not a human heart.
Human heart.
Whatever.
I'm just a brand.
My whole life is just... is just a brand.
It's not... it's not real.
It's just a fat, conniving... Bitch of a lie.
Psycho! What are you doing?
What's wrong with you?
Monica, hey.
Hey. Hey, Monica.
Monica, wake up, baby.
I'm here. Hey, Monica.
Hey.
I'm here, baby. Hey.
Please.
Hey, baby, please wake up.
I'm so sorry. I'm so sorry.
Please. I'm here.
- It's Monica and carm? - Yeah.
They host a home renovation show, "Philly phorever."
Cora and I watch it to unwind at night.
I don't know it.
They've dedicated their lives to helping out people.
They take deserving families,
and they renovate their homes for free.
So your guilty pleasure is watching home renovation shows?
It's like wrapping yourself up in a warm blanket at night.
It's comforting after dealing with y'all all day.
Isobel's made it official. This one's ours.
Okay.
Last night, Jake "carm" car man murdered his wife,
Monica car man, in their bedroom.
The housekeeper found the body this morning,
and as you can see, it's a horror show.
How do we know that carm is the killer?
Housekeepers saw carm fleeing the scene,
covered in blood, in Monica's BMW x7.
We have a bolo out on that,
as well as carm's dodge ram, which is also missing.
I'm sure they have security cameras.
- Did we pull any footage? - Nothing to pull.
The cameras were turned off last night.
Detectives think carm beat Monica to death with a hammer,
which was found at the scene.
And we'll know the total number of blows
when we get the autopsy back, but she was struck
at least a dozen times.
Does he have a criminal record?
Anything that suggests that he's capable of this?
No, he's clean.
No arrest record for carm or Monica.
So we have a seemingly perfect couple
on a popular TV show, and all of the sudden,
the husband just snaps and murders his wife with a hammer.
That doesn't really add up for me.
What do we know about their business?
They own a home renovation
and design company called rosy hearth.
Monica ran the design team and carm the construction crew.
I haven't fully dug in, but on the surface, no red flags.
Ray and I will figure out what made carm snap.
Nina, liaise with pd at the crime scene,
see if there's something these photos aren't showing us.
Credit card charges show that
carm was at a bar in Philly last night.
When we hit the ground in Philly,
you and Hana head there.
Find out who he's with and what his state of mind was.
Let's roll.
It's been stressful around here for a while.
Is the company in trouble?
No, the opposite.
"Philly phorever's" made Monica and carm household names.
Rosy hearth has been booming.
We can't keep up with job requests.
We have dozens of active renovations,
not counting the ones for the shows.
You have new shows?
Yes, we're filming a second show called "faith revived."
Monica and carm are fixing up old churches.
It's been ringing nonstop all morning
vendors, clients, crew.
I... I don't know what to tell people.
I don't know anything right now.
You said rosy hearth was Monica's dream, not carm's.
Carm didn't really want any of this.
He wanted a simple, quiet family life.
He'd be happy running one crew and taking on a job at a time.
So why agree to it all?
Because he loved Monica.
Like, loved her.
Have you noticed any recent changes in their relationship?
They've both been so busy, I rarely see them together.
The only time they're definitely in the same room
is when the show is filming.
As soon as we'd wrap, they'd go their separate ways.
That sure looks like carm's truck.
Yep, the plate matches.
So he didn't drive himself home last night.
I'll head over, see if I can find anything.
- What can I get you? - FBI.
I understand this guy was here last night.
Carm.
Yeah, he's a regular here.
Him and his construction crew come in all the time.
Do they ever get out of hand?
They get a little rowdy
when the eagles are playing, but nothing crazy.
Except last night.
What happened last night?
I've never seen carm like this,
but he was beyond hammered.
I had to kick him out because he refused
to stop playing Bob seger's "against the wind"
over and over again.
- Was he here with his crew? - No, he was here with a woman.
They had a conversation that really upset him,
hence the seger.
Do you know the woman? Were they together?
No, I've never seen her before.
You guys have cameras here, right?
No, sorry.
There's one outside. Does it work?
I think so.
We need to see footage from last night, please.
Okay. I'll go grab my computer.
I've been trying to call you all morning.
Are you okay?
I didn't know where else to go.
Is that Monica's blood?
I didn't kill her, okay?
I swear. You have to believe me.
I... I love her, and I could never, romy.
Okay. Okay.
We have to get you out of those bloody clothes.
Do you need to take a shower?
No, no, there's not enough time.
Okay.
What do you remember about last night?
I've been racking my brain all morning.
I remember going to the bar and ordering a beer,
and then everything is blurry, and the next thing I know,
I'm waking up in my bed and I'm covered in blood.
- What am I gonna do? - Those are dom's.
They will fit you. Put those in here.
You don't remember anything that happened
- after you got home? - No.
What about at the bar?
Do you remember what we talked about?
Yes. Romy, I know how it looks,
but I didn't kill her.
Okay, I believe you.
But you gotta turn yourself in.
No, no, because if I turn myself in,
they're gonna pin it on me, and they move on,
and they don't look for who really did it, no.
So what, then?
You're gonna find the real killer?
I have to. I have to do this.
I just... I just don't know who would wanna hurt her and
hey. Hey.
Okay, maybe the real question is, who would wanna hurt you?
I mean, obviously, someone wants you
to take the fall for killing Monica.
I... I need money. I... I need cash.
My cards don't work anymore.
If I give you that, it'll make me an accomplice.
Please.
But...
If I leave my phone and my wallet out,
and you happen to take them,
there's nothing I can do about that.
Take it.
Thank you.
Yeah.
I need one more favor.
Name it.
Can you run my blood work?
Hey, check this out.
She wasn't kidding. He can barely stand.
There's no credit card charges for a rideshare or taxi home.
Must be cash only.
They're almost impossible to track.
Okay, I'll put a bolo out. Maybe we get lucky.
We got a hit on facial rec.
Mystery woman is romy gilyard.
Says here romy is an er nurse.
Hana sent over the call and text logs.
Yeah, seems like her and carm talk damn near every day.
Maybe carm and romy were having an affair,
and Monica found out.
And they just wanted to get her out of the picture.
FBI!
He's not here.
I wish we could just take your word for it.
Excuse me.
Remy.
Have a seat.
- A lot of blood. - I'll get ert down here.
I didn't touch them.
He just took some cash and left.
How long ago was carm here?
About half an hour.
Look, I told him to turn himself in,
that running wouldn't help.
Not with us, it won't.
What was your relationship with him?
We grew up together. We're both from fish town.
Carm's dad was a real bastard when he drank,
which was any day that ended in a y.
And car my was over all the time.
Ever more than friends?
Yeah, we're more than friends.
He's like family.
Were we romantic? No.
He's like a brother.
What did Monica think about your relationship?
She never trusted it. Or me.
Carm tell you where he was going?
No, and I didn't ask, because I'd have to tell you.
What about last night?
What'd you guys talk about?
It was difficult to get anything out of him.
He was in a sorry state,
falling down drunk by the time I showed up.
Was he upset about something?
He swears he's innocent.
Funny, everybody says that.
You didn't answer his question.
Carm was upset because he found out
Monica was cheating on him.
They've been growing apart for a while,
but he never thought she'd cheat.
It hit him really hard.
So yeah, he got drunk.
How did he find out?
- Is it okay if I grab... - yeah, sure.
He found a picture on her phone and some messages.
He sent himself a copy.
Look, I believe him. I don't think he killed Monica.
No matter how upset or angry he was, he wouldn't hurt her.
We're gonna need to take this.
If he contacts you again, let us know.
And don't touch the clothes.
We got people on the way.
So carm finds out his wife is cheating, he gets drunk,
he goes home, and now she's dead.
Motive and opportunity.
See what Hana can find on this.
Just got a bolo hit on the taxi.
- You okay? - Yeah.
Can you call Remy and let him know?
Yeah, go without me.
I've got more footage to comb through.
- I'll wait for the tow truck. - Okay.
Hey. Parking attendant called it in.
The bolo popped when we ran the plate.
Any sign of the driver?
Yeah, unfortunately.
What do we got?
Driver's name is Fred braggs.
Nobody knew he was missing?
His wife thought he was doing an all-nighter.
There's a fresh dent on the front bumper.
Contact paint is green.
And based on the height of the impact,
it's probably from an SUV or truck.
Carm finds out his wife, who he's hopelessly devoted to,
is having an affair.
He gets drunk, takes a cab home,
kills her, then the taxi driver.
Yeah, but something's not adding up.
Look, how would he have had time to dump the taxi?
And then how did he get back home?
Well, carm lives close to here,
so maybe he dumped the taxi and then walked home?
I'll check surveillance cameras in the area.
Hopefully, we can get a timeline.
- Hey, you're with me. - Yes, ma'am.
Driver could have been in the wrong place at the wrong time.
And what we need to do is figure out where this rage
is gonna take him next.
That's what kicked off this killing spree.
Carm will be hunting whoever Monica was cheating with.
We need to find this person.
Monica must have confided in somebody.
Maybe Andy?
Andy Montgomery.
He's an interior designer at rosy hearth
and Monica's best friend.
All right, you two pay this Andy dude a little visit.
And, ray, try not to fanboy too hard.
I'm gonna head back to rosy hearth
and see if Monica's assistant knows anything about
this secret liaison.
I knew something was off.
I always went with Monica when she shopped for a property.
But then suddenly, she was finding any reason
she could to run errands by herself.
- Do you want one? - We're on the clock.
Suit yourself.
It's the only way I'm coping.
That and crying my eyes out.
You said you noticed Monica acting differently.
A couple weeks ago.
Sissy tells me Monica's out
staging furniture at a Reno in Camden.
So I rush over, thinking I'm supposed to be there to help.
But when I got there, it was clear
the staging was just an excuse.
She was meeting someone?
Yeah, and she made me leave before anyone else arrived.
It seemed like things were going well with the show.
Why would she cheat?
They've been living separate lives for months now.
Monica loved carm, but they had grown apart.
She just... she wanted more.
But why not get divorced? Why sneak around?
Rosy hearth is a business built on a brand.
That brand was Monica and carm as a perfect team,
a happy marriage, and a thriving business.
A public divorce would have killed that illusion.
Divorce would have been the least of it.
What does that mean?
Monica was pregnant.
- From the affair. - Did carm know?
I don't think so. It was early.
- All right. Thank you. - Thank you.
Everyone's just in shock.
I mean, they're sending us all home early for the day,
but they also wanna talk to me
a bit more, so I'm not 100% sure.
Sissy.
Carm?
Come here. Give me your phone.
It's okay.
- He's here. - Where?
He went towards the carpentry shop.
Get in. Stay down.
I didn't kill Monica!
You ran, so it's my job to chase you.
If you're really innocent,
trust the justice system and turn yourself in.
No. No, because you put the cuffs on me,
and they're never coming off.
They pin my wife's murder on me,
and the real killer goes free.
You'll get a fair trial, a chance to tell your side.
- I can't let that happen. - I promise you
I can't let that happen!
I can't allow the killer to get away!
I can't risk you stopping me.
Are you good at your job?
I'm the best.
Then prove it.
You need an EMT?
I'm good.
Philly pd set up a grid search, but nothing so far.
Sissy says her car was stolen, so bolo's out.
Hey, are you okay?
Why would someone who killed his own wife
spare the FBI agent who was pursuing him?
Because he believes he's innocent.
That's what romy told us.
Hana thinks she might have something.
She's been sifting through security cam footage
near where the taxi was dumped,
and that looks like the same guy from outside the bar.
What are the chances the same person
would be at both locations?
Friggin' low.
How strong is your trust in god?
Because mine is absolute.
Amen.
Mr. Carman. What are you doing here?
You can't just go around barging into folk's homes.
Mr. Carman.
Mr. Carman, I'm talking to you.
Miss ida, I'm... I'm sorry.
I... I just.
Mr. Carman?
What's going on with you?
That's it. I'm calling the police.
Miss ida, no.
So why here?
Why ida?
I think I know why.
This photo was taken here.
All right, well, let's be real, all right?
Monica wasn't having an affair with ida.
Whoever it was, Monica was meeting them here.
What do we know about miss ida?
Well, she was on "Philly phorever."
She's a cafeteria school worker
who's helped out a lot of children.
But I don't get it, man.
Why would you come here and then call the cops on yourself?
He called an ambulance because ida fell.
Who is this person?
That's pastor Westin.
Life is the most precious gift god can give us.
That's why parenting is our most sacred duty.
It's a duty filled with joy, happiness, and love.
And it's also gonna be scary,
especially that first year, fellas.
But in moments of doubt or fear,
you have your faith to lean on, yeah?
Faith that god is always in...
Faith that
faith that god will never give you more than you can handle,
no matter how daunting the challenge?
All right, everyone, let's... let's take a break.
Refreshments have been set up in the back.
Please.
I got this.
Pastor Westin till is.
How can we at divine apostles help you?
Quite a complex you have here.
We are very blessed.
This church was founded over 50 years ago by Atticus till is,
with little more than a soapbox
and a worn copy of the good word.
Atticus was your father?
In all the ways that matter, yes.
We're here to talk about the church's association
with rosy hearth.
Do you mind?
It's a... it's a terrible, terrible tragedy.
We've been praying all morning over it.
Don't you think it's a little late for prayers to help?
Well, prayer always helps.
You knew carm and Monica well?
Yes.
Our partnership with rosy hearth has been a blessing.
So many people in this community have been helped.
Did you have a relationship with Monica?
Well, as I said, we had a
a business relationship with rosy hearth
what he means is, were you two romantically involved?
No. No, no, of course not.
I'm... I'm happily married.
We believe carm killed Monica
and is now after whoever she was having an affair with.
That's awful.
I didn't even know that anything was going on
between the two of them.
Something more important than talking to us?
No. No, of course not.
Monica was pregnant with her lover's child.
We'll be able to identify the father through DNA very soon.
We wanna help this guy before carm gets to him.
Look, I... i'm... I'm sorry.
I really wish that I could help you guys.
Do you recognize this man?
No, it's... you know, the photo is blurry, so I
that looks like Olin.
Who's Olin?
My brother.
He's the senior Deacon here at the church.
You couldn't identify your own brother-in-law?
We need to get him on the phone.
Call him right now. Call him.
I'm sorry. This is... this is my publisher.
She wants to go over the details
for the book signing event tonight.
And she's gonna keep at it until I respond.
Do you mind?
Make it quick.
I can call him.
The FBI is here.
They're asking me about Monica.
What did you tell them?
Nothing.
But, Olin, they're gonna figure it out soon.
They said that they can ID
the father of Monica's baby using DNA.
I'm screwed. We're screwed.
They don't have anything yet.
They're just fishing.
I... carm just messaged me.
He said that he knows the truth, man.
- If he could tie us... - You need to calm down.
They have a photo of you
outside the bar the other night.
I can fix this.
How?
How you gonna fix it, Olin?
You fixing things is what got us here in the first place.
Let's meet in person.
The FBI is still here.
All the more reason for you to leave.
Don't talk to them anymore. Just get out of there now.
I'll send you an address.
Ray's helping security search the grounds for Olin.
Any word?
No, it just keeps going straight to voicemail.
So this was the first location of the church?
Yeah, after daddy got off the street corner.
I thought Westin said his father founded the church.
No, Atticus is mine and Olin's father.
Why would your dad not choose his own son to succeed him?
Olin was going through a rough patch back then,
and it got worse when he was passed over.
Remy Scott.
The church needed stability,
the kind Westin and I could bring.
What kind of rough patch?
Two arrests for drug possession and a dui thrown in?
You have to understand, this was a decade ago.
Olin has turned his life around.
And when we open our new location,
he'll be leading it as head pastor.
And did he know Monica and carm?
Yeah.
He was working with them on renovating our new chapel.
It was part of their "faith revived" show.
Can you excuse us one second?
Yeah.
That was romy.
She says when carm was at her place yesterday,
he asked her to draw a blood sample.
She rushed a tox screening at his insistence,
and the results show he had flunitrazepam in his system.
So he was roofied at the bar.
So carm killed a taxi cab driver, dumped the car,
went home, turned off the security cameras,
and murdered his wife, all while he's drugged.
I don't buy that.
Olin knew Monica professionally.
It could have turned personal.
I think Olin killed her.
Westin?
Damn it.
Hey. Ray searched everywhere. No Olin.
Westin's gone too.
That fool was twitchy from the jump.
Let's go up on his phone. Olin's too.
Westin's phone last pinged this cell tower.
We're close.
We just got word from Philly pd
that carm was spotted
outside an electronics store in south Philly.
The baby's DNA just came in.
It confirms carm isn't the baby's father.
Wait a second.
This says Olin isn't a match either.
If Olin's not the father, who is?
Westin.
His affair with Monica and their baby
would ruin the church.
Olin didn't kill Monica to protect Westin.
He did it to protect his own interests.
Well, if that's the case, then Westin isn't safe either.
Westin's phone just pinged in Kensington.
Call pd. Have them start canvassing.
Trisha keeps calling me nonstop, man.
I don't know what to tell her.
Why is your phone still on?
I told you to turn it off.
It's all coming apart, man.
We just need to give the FBI what they want.
Carm. Give me your phone.
The FBI still thinks that he killed Monica.
Even if they can prove that I'm the father,
that... that just proves motive.
He was... he was angry about the affair and the kid,
and... and he killed her, right?
But wait, what if he talks?
What if he can... he can prove that he didn't do it?
Dead men don't talk.
Yo, where did... where did you get a
where'd you get a gun, man?
It was my dad's.
And you, you're gonna take care of carm?
I'll clean up your mess, again.
Olin, man, thank you.
- I'm doing this for my family. - I know.
- My church. - I know. Still.
Thank you.
So what... what should I do?
Should I go to the book signing event tonight?
No.
That's not how they're gonna think it went down.
They're gonna think carm found you before then.
What are you talking about?
He waited until you were alone and isolated,
then he took his revenge.
- What? - Yeah.
- You should repent. - No, man. Come on.
Don't meet god with sin in your heart.
Come on... wait, no. Look, just wait a minute, man.
Please!
One doa.
Lot's clear otherwise.
Olin was just here. We need to ID his vehicle.
- You recover anything? - No cell phone.
Olin must be tying up loose ends.
Which means carm is next.
We find him, we find Olin.
We got a green SUV on street cams 15 minutes ago.
There's a dent on the front of the bumper.
Color matches the contact paint of the taxi too.
- What about traffic cams? - Tracking now.
Ert is on the way.
Stay here and secure the scene till they get here.
What are you doing here? Where's Westin?
I know what Westin did, and I wanna help.
Did he confess?
Did he... did he say he killed Monica?
No.
He was too much of a coward to kill her.
The last traffic cam had Olin's SUV
in this neighborhood.
So that means he's hiding somewhere close.
Is there any way we can narrow down our search area?
See if rosy hearth has any active renovations
in our search radius.
Bingo.
There's one building renovation for their "faith revived" show.
That's it. That's where they're hiding.
I can feel it in my bones.
You did this! You did this to Monica!
- You didn't have to kill her. - I didn't want to!
It was Westin, that selfish, stupid bastard.
If he... man, if he would have just kept it in his pants,
none of this would have happened
the affair, the baby, none of it.
Baby?
Monica was pregnant?
You're a monster. You're a monster.
I was protecting my family.
I busted my ass for years to get back into my daddy's grace.
Surely, you can understand that.
I'm never gonna see my wife again.
I'm never gonna hold her, see her smile, hear her voice,
'cause of you.
Of course, you will see her again.
In the sweet hereafter, you will be reunited.
Even in the face of despair,
god's glory will prevail.
It was your family or mine.
I chose mine.
I hope you can forgive me.
Put the gun down!
Olin's headed towards the west stairwell.
We need an ambulance. Hold on. Help's coming.
Get back!
He's on the third floor.
Give me your hands!
Let's go. Get up.
Whoa, hold up, guys.
That's for you.
A recorder... smart.
Everything on here will ensure that Olin goes to jail
for the rest of his life.
Thank you.
Seriously.
Thank you for everything.
If it weren't for you and your team, I'd be
I'd be dead or in prison.
If you need someone to talk to, I can arrange it.
You offering me a shrink or a beer?
Maybe both.
You know, I haven't even begun to grieve yet
or think about what's next.
I think it's all too much right now.
I got a renovation project coming up.
I could use some advice.
Hey. You got a minute?
Yeah. Come in.
So I saw the job posting for
task force supervisor in D.C.
Are you interested?
I don't know. Maybe.
You are aware that it's a desk job, right?
Yeah.
There has been a lot of change in my life recently,
and it's got me thinking, maybe I should change too.
Maybe shake things up, start a new path.
Plus, it's in D.C., so I'd be closer to my kids.
It's also a promotion and a significant pay raise.
That too.
I wanted to ask, if I apply,
would you be willing to recommend me?
Absolutely.
Sheryll, you're a fantastic agent, more than qualified.
I'm not saying I'm absolutely gonna do it.
I love my job.
I love my team, don't get me wrong.
I just feel like I owe it to myself
to at least consider this, you know?
I am happy to put in a good word.
Thank you.
Anytime.
I have one last favor to ask.
Can we keep this between us for now?
Remy doesn't know?
I'll tell Remy and the rest of the team
if and when the time is right.
Right now, I just wanna explore this
on my own, you know?
Makes things easier.
My lips are sealed.
I appreciate that.
