How's Winona doing?
Should we call the doc?
I'm worried, alright?
I don't like the thought of her suffering.
Oh, you gotta be kidding.
Nena, you know the drill.
The man cave is off limits.
[tv chatter]
I gotta go.
Oh, boy.
Ow!
[heavy thud] - Ugh!
[gasping]
He- help...
...me.
No.
No. [muffled screams]
♪
Your first exhibition. This is big, kid.
I just hope Steph could make it.
Well, I'll video it.
Oh, no thank you. I'm still getting over
your gushing color commentary on my soccer videos.
I'm your dad. I'm supposed to gush.
You ready to set up?
Hi.
Awkward.
I'm going to take a minute to get a sense of the space.
Maybe you could talk amongst yourselves.
What'd you tell her?
She read the room.
See, when I looked into what happened in Sacramento--
You were trying to protect me, I know.
And if I can't do that...
I promised her I'd help set up.
[phone vibrating]
Sid.
Where?
Hey Sid. Good to see you on your feet.
Forget college, tell your kids scrap metal.
That's where the money is.
Vic's inside. Doug Bodanski.
Bodanski Scrap Yards.
That's Jolie Zorn, the housekeeper.
That's Nena Bodanski, the wife.
So, Jolie arrives at 8:00 a.m.
finds Doug at the bottom of the stairs.
That's his bedroom up there.
She screams, wakes the wife, Nena,
whose bedroom is over here.
She comes out, calls 911.
Told us she heard nothing through the night.
Let's bring them to the station.
I'll talk to them there.
Okay. I'm gonna check with forensics first.
[tense music]
Looks like a fatal tumble.
Man, I'm not surprised
with all the empty beer bottles by the sink.
But that doesn't account for the petechial hemorrhaging.
Check his feet.
Right foot.
Some scrapes and abrasions from the fall.
Left foot, linear abrasion
across his instep.
There was a tripwire here.
It was removed after he fell.
Killer stayed to watch.
And when the fall didn't finish him...
He was suffocated.
Boss...
forensics found the vic's phone under the couch.
Best guess is that he dropped it when he fell.
[car door slams] Chief...
I am so sorry, I had some car trouble.
Sid, bring her up to speed.
- He's mad--- - Vic's phone.
get it to digital forensics, tell them to put a rush on it.
We need to know who he was talking to.
Okay, so they're both mad.
You and Doug, you were married for how long?
We were married for 12 years, which was 13 years too long.
Doug never wanted a wife.
He wanted a trophy.
So why stay?
It wasn't in my best interests to leave him.
The prenup?
Doug was the king of crap...
except when it came to attorneys.
You were in the house
when Doug died and you didn't hear anything.
Sound asleep.
A couple of whiskeys and a Zolpidem around 10 p.m.
Can anyone confirm this?
A blood test.
Bodanski Scrap Yards,
the website lists Doug as sole owner.
Who gets the company now?
Ah.
I very much doubt it's me.
He started it with his sister, Wendy.
Where is Wendy now?
Couldn't tell you.
The two of them had a big fight years ago
when she split from the business.
I haven't talked to her in forever.
[Karl] Was he a kind man?
He was rough around the edges, but generous.
He volunteered at a horse rescue.
Broke my heart to see how sad he'd become.
Sad? How so?
Like he was...
I don't know, pining for someone.
It's one of those things that's obvious to me.
I'm a Scorpio.
Pining for who? Do you know?
No. Sorry.
Uh, you could try talking to his last housekeeper.
She was with them for years. A woman by the name of...
Mary something?
No, wait.
Maeve.
Doug Bodanski has a sister, Wendy.
Let's find out where she was last night.
Let's track down Doug's former housekeeper.
First name, Maeve.
Anything from forensics on Doug's phone?
I'll check the phone.
Why don't you talk to Nena about the housekeeper?
On it, Sarge.
Uh, I found a place called Equus Coast Horse Sanctuary.
But they wouldn't disclose names of their volunteers.
I'll head over.
Okay.
How worried are you?
Jackson?
Fairly.
Very.
Oh, my god, you look like crap.
Thank you. My car keys.
Are you sure?
I'm not a child!
Hey!
Look, I- I care about you as a friend, okay?
And last night-- - Hey--
I can't- I can't do this right now.
Hello?
Anybody there?
[horses whinnying]
Help you?
Karl Alberg, Gibsons Police.
I'm here about a Will Raker.
I understand he runs the sanctuary?
You'll be waiting a while. Will's in town.
He's shaking the donation bucket.
I'm Ella Perini, the vet.
Well, I'm here about one of Will's volunteers,
Doug Bodanski. Do you know him?
Uh, I-- I wouldn't call Doug a volunteer.
He's more like a highly opinionated donor.
Will would call him a pain in the ass.
What- what's he done now?
I'm afraid Mr. Bodanski died last night.
Oh... Oh, my god.
Poor Will.
Were Will and Doug good friends?
Um...
Uh, yeah. He's, uh... he's Doug's brother.
His only sibling.
They started the scrapyard together.
His brother?
Nena said Doug had a sister.
Yes, Nena's a bigot. He's Will now.
What happened?
Well, we're investigating.
Will you have Will give me a call?
Of course.
Thanks.
[shallow gasping]
[sobbing]
O'Hara. Maeve O'Hara.
She was Doug's housekeeper when we met.
I'd have fired her years ago, but Doug loved his strays.
Why did she quit?
No idea.
Doug blamed me, of course.
Did you ever suspect Doug and Miss O'Hara of...
having...
You know.
[scoffs]
Maeve?
Well, she had a daughter, so we know she had sex once.
Are they going to be done soon?
I need an address for Maeve O'Hara.
That is M-A-E
V-E...
I'll call you back.
Enchanter's Nightshade.
[tense music]
Jackson thinks these
are the same flowers that were in Holly's photos.
They are.
All this started with Lauren's memorial.
The creeper has left Enchanter's Nightshade there
every month for 25 years. It's local legend.
And the flower symbolizes vengeance?
Mmhmm.
Tell me about Lauren.
She and I were in AP calculus together.
Two nerdy girls bonding until freshman year.
I was a late bloomer, Lauren wasn't.
How'd she die?
It was a hit and run.
She was walking home from work.
She was 17.
And Lauren Park's not the only one.
Tell me about the others.
Calvin Wiley was poisoned
and Donald Truscott fell off a cliff.
Bouquets of Enchanter's Nightshade
were found where they died too.
Someone died where you found these, right?
[footsteps approaching]
Chief...
Will Raker is here to see you.
I'll be right there.
I'm gonna look into this, okay?
But you and Holly leave this alone.
Of course.
I'm Chief Alberg.
Will Raker.
Nice to meet you, Mr. Raker. Please.
Thanks for coming in. I'm sorry for your loss.
I can't believe it.
I was just talking to Doug last night.
What time?
Around 10 p.m.
What was the conversation about?
Winona.
He's obsessed with her.
Is that someone your brother was seeing?
[laughs softly]
Uh, no.
Uh, Winona's a palomino, a horse.
She was surrendered to us a month ago.
Winona hasn't been feeling well,
so Doug wanted me to call the vet.
And then he yelled something
about staying out of his man cave to Nena.
And, uh, he hung up.
Where were you last night, Mr. Raker?
I was in the barn, keeping an eye on the horse.
All night?
Ella said that Doug's death was an accident.
Can anybody vouch for your whereabouts, Mr. Raker?
Besides Winona?
Oh my god.
Uh, I don't know what Nena told you,
but Doug and I were blood, okay?
We- we had our share of disagreements.
Many of them never even mattered.
And one or two really did.
But we worked through it.
Nena hasn't spoken to me in years,
but Doug and I loved each other.
And if anyone killed my brother,
I would put money on her.
1720. Got it.
Oh...
Hey.
Uh, Doug Bodanski's old housekeeper.
Maeve O'Hara, address and phone number.
Laila...
It's not just you.
It's all of us who count on you
so if there's a problem, you got to tell me.
Of course, sir.
You've been through a lot...
in Minneapolis, now here.
You will be the first to know.
[Karl] Doug Bodanski.
He could be crass and harsh,
but deep down he was kind.
You worked for the Bodanski's
for quite some time, Mrs. O'Hara.
I did.
Nena and Doug,
it wasn't the most harmonious relationship, was it?
[scoffs] I thank God that they never brought children
into this world.
Please.
Those two tormented each other.
Their own private hell.
The day that Doug
wrote a six- figure check to the horse rescue, well,
you would have thought that he had drowned Nena's cat.
It was simple generosity.
His good side, from whom much is given, much is required.
The Gospels.
Anna Marie Lunsford. Sister Lunsford, my aunt.
Your aunt was a nun?
Oh, good lord, no, no.
A teller of truths, Chief Alberg.
A bringer in of sheaves.
Six months ago, Mrs. O'Hara, you quit the Bodanski's. Why?
Well...
Mr. Bodanski may have become inured to his wife's...
proclivities.
But I did not appreciate them.
Especially not when they were thrust into my face.
You caught her in bed with someone?
She laughed when she saw me standing there.
You still have a key to their house, Mrs. O'Hara?
Oh, no. No, I returned the key.
Where were you last night?
Oh, so you do think it's murder
and everyone is a suspect.
Well, Chief Alberg, I was with my friend all evening.
Yvette Fraser.
We got the blood test results back.
Vic's wife wasn't lying.
Nena tested positive for Zolpidem.
Doesn't mean she didn't set the tripwire, though.
Maeve O'Hara claims she was visiting her friend,
Yvette Fraser.
Mm. I'll go speak to her.
Lawyers.
It's amazing how much they talk once their clients are dead.
Doug Bodanski had his lawyer prepare
a divorce settlement for Nena. Sizable.
Lawyer tried to talk him out of it.
Doug said, "I just want to get on with my life".
Yeah, but if Nena knew, she wouldn't kill the guy.
Unless she's in his will.
Gets it all now.
Lawyer said no. Doug cut Nena out years ago.
Everything goes to Equus Coast Horse Sanctuary.
I just can't believe he's gone.
I know.
What a stupid accident.
No.
It wasn't an accident. He didn't fall.
He was pushed or tripped.
The police think it's a homicide.
[scoffs] I told them it must have been Nena, but...
I don't really believe that.
Who would do this?
[voicemail] At the tone, please record your message.
[beep]
You.
I'm on my way
and I swear to God, you are going to pay for what you did.
The eye goes too quickly to the one on the right.
- Mm. - Mm.
Now try swapping
the one on the right with the one on the left.
Steph.
Oh my gosh!
Hey, little sister.
You made it.
Did you know?
Are you kidding?
You think I could keep a secret like this?
Of course I wouldn't miss your photo exhibit.
These are terrific.
You're saying that because you're my sister.
- Yep. - Okay.
But also because they're terrific.
So swap the one on the right.
- Mmhmm. - The one on the left.
- Let's see. - Right.
- Yeah? - Yeah. Mmmhmm.
Okay. Yeah.
How's Dad?
He's good.
Busy.
- You know Dad. - Mmhmm.
I'll let you two catch up.
Yes.
Dad's being dad again.
Original recipe.
And Cassandra?
Extra crispy.
Yeah.
Well, these are awesome.
[Laila] Thanks for coming in, Ms. Fraser.
Have you seen Maeve O'Hara recently?
Yeah. Maeve came over for dinner last night.
Then we binged a show.
Around what time?
Oh, she stayed late.
'Til midnight?
We had hot chocolate and gossiped.
Same thing we've been doing since Grandview Drive.
Grandview?
The old days. That's how we met.
Working for different families on the same street.
Do you remember which family you worked for?
The Parks.
Karen and Terrence.
Uh, they had a daughter?
Lauren.
The girl who died.
Hit and run.
I'd been let go by that point.
Let go?
Some money went missing from Mrs. Park's purse...
and Lauren accused me.
I didn't, Corporal.
Mrs. Parks knew the truth. I'm sure of that.
But she didn't want to face it, so...
out the door for poor Yvette.
Yvette was fired six weeks before Lauren Park died.
Lauren Park's incident report.
Digital forensics cracked Doug's phone.
Night of the murder there's a call with his brother.
But that's not what stands out.
Six months ago, Doug was calling the same number a lot
and then it suddenly just stopped.
For months, nothing.
A few weeks ago, calls start back up again.
- Whose number? - The vet.
Ella Perini.
Like he was pining for someone.
Let's bring her in.
Okay.
[voicemail] Your call has been forwarded
to an automatic voice message system.
At the tone, please record your message.
I loved him.
My choice.
Damn you to the pit of hell!
[gasps]
[screams]
[crash]
[police radio chatter]
So to confirm there were no other cars,
just the single car on the road.
And it was heading southbound
but flipped and facing northbound?
Uh, just give me a minute.
Ella Perini.
She was pronounced at the scene.
The flagger said that she was driving like a bat out of hell.
Ms. O'Hara, Ms. O'Hara. No, no, no, no, no, no, no.
Sid!
Ms. O'Hara, Ms. O'Hara no. - [screaming and crying]
[Sid] Stay with me.
She's my child! Let me see her!
Mrs. O'Hara, I'm sorry. She's gone.
[sobbing]
No, she's not! Ella!
[screaming] Ella!
No!
[sobbing]
"Perini" was her father's name.
Ella loved him.
Don't ask me why.
Where's your husband now, Mrs. O'Hara?
We could notify him if you like.
Uh...
Well, he's gone.
A heart attack.
Good riddance.
You know, when I saw the smoke
down the road...
I knew...
in that instant.
You and Ella were close?
She was my child.
We didn't always agree,
but when she fell into error,
I'd reach out and do whatever I could to save her.
[Karl] Doug and Ella, how close were they?
[Mrs. O'Hara] She, uh, came...
and helped me at the house...
sometimes, after one of his parties, usually.
[Karl] Doug's horse sanctuary was one of Ella's
bigger clients.
Doug pushed her to get hired
straight out of vet school.
Favor to you?
Doug- Doug Bodanski could be very generous.
And Ella was determined to pay him back.
Your friend, Yvette?
She worked for a family whose daughter passed away.
Lauren Park.
Unconscionable, what she did to Yvette.
And then Lauren died.
Six weeks later.
It's tragic.
You and Ella were good friends.
Did you know?
I know she had been seeing my brother.
I thought it had run its course.
Who else knew?
Her mother?
A mad monk. God knows.
Ella told me once,
she wasn't raised.
She was groomed.
For what?
She wouldn't say.
But she wanted nothing to do with that woman.
Two medium cappuccinos.
- One decaf. - Thanks.
And a small soy latte,
extra foam, one pump sugar-free vanilla,
one pump caramel, and a sprinkle of cinnamon.
My coffee orders drive dad crazy.
Mm.
Speaking of...
Don't tell him I did this,
but I kind of amateur sleuthed.
Is that a verb?
Intransitive.
Are you trying to get yourself grounded?
Okay. I phoned around the local gardening shops
to see if anyone carried Enchanter's Nightshade.
And?
No luck, but I talked to one guy.
He said he knew of a farm that specialized
in ornamental plants.
Lunsford Farm and Nursery.
I checked their website.
Looks like they're permanently closed.
Which is kind of weird, right?
So why don't we take a drive up there?
No.
Okay. Why not?
Because your dad wants you to stay out of it.
Well, me and Steph could go
and there'd be two of us, and he wouldn't even have to know.
Look, I will get this information to your dad.
If he wants to look into it, then great.
And if not, we leave it.
Holly told me
about your friend.
Lauren Park.
It was a hit and run.
Um, I need to go to City Hall
for a council thing, but I'll be right back.
We leave this to the police.
You told Corporal Jackson that two nights ago
Maeve O'Hara was at your house between 7:00 and midnight.
That's right.
You stayed in all night?
We sat on the couch, uh...
watching the show and talking.
More talking than watching, if I'm being honest.
You're being honest, Mrs. Fraser?
The thing is,
cell records show that Maeve O'Hara's phone was
nowhere near your house between 9:30 and 11:00 p.m.
My guess is you left the house,
went into town, grabbed some snacks.
Yes, that's right, we decided we wanted some ice cream.
Well... cell records show
that your phone never left your house.
Well, I guess I must have forgotten it or something.
You're a terrible liar, Mrs. Fraser.
Was Maeve even at your house?
No.
[Karl] Where was she?
I don't know.
Are you scared of your friend, Mrs. Fraser?
Maeve is certain of everything.
You've never met anyone like her.
She asked you to lie for her?
No.
Has she asked you to lie for her before?
No.
You know that withholding evidence is a criminal offense.
I lied one other time.
When?
The night Mr. Wiley died.
Calvin Wiley?
Your friend, asked you to lie twice.
Both times somebody dies. That didn't make you suspicious?
I didn't know anything. I'm not involved in anything.
You are involved, Mrs. Fraser.
You're involved.
Who else knew about Maeve?
Did Ella know about her mother?
Ella died.
Did you know that? It's terrible.
Maeve would be destroyed.
Did Ella know?
Yes.
Get a warrant. Bring Maeve in.
Based on your testimony, you're an accessory after the fact.
I'm placing you under arrest.
No.
Maeve also cleaned
for Donald Truscott's boss, Jeremy Hendrickson,
of Hendrickson Financial Services.
Truscott fell off Gospel Rock.
After he embezzled half a million
from Hendrickson's clients.
When Hendrickson found out, he hushed it up.
Truscott steals, gets away with it.
Lauren Park lies and Maeve's friend gets fired.
Lauren bore false witness. Calvin Wiley?
Allegations of elder abuse. His mom.
Honor thy father and mother.
Doug Bodanski slept with Maeve's daughter.
Adultery.
[tense music]
Bree. Holly and Steph?
They left a while ago.
Did they say where they were going?
Not to me.
[voicemail] Hey, it's Holly. Leave a message.
Holly, it's Cassandra.
Where are you? Call me back.
[phone ringing]
- Yeah? - [Sid] Boss, Maeve's not here.
Neighbor saw her leave about an hour ago,
but the warrant just came through
so we're going to start searching the house.
I'll meet you there.
[phone vibrating]
[beep]
Hi, Karl, it's me.
Um, I'm trying to get a hold of Holly,
but she isn't answering her phone.
Do you have any idea where she might be?
Um, truth is, I am a little concerned that she is...
You know what? I'll deal with it.
[indistinct chatter]
Haven't seen one of these in a while.
[Ella] You. I'm on my way, and I swear to God
you are going to pay for what you did.
Ella Perini.
I loved him!
My choice!
Damn you to the pit of hell!
Put out a BOLO, alert the state troopers.
Maeve could be almost anywhere.
Not interested. Thank you.
Have a couple of teenage girls been by here, by any chance?
Girls?
No. No, just you, councilwoman.
Guilty as charged.
I didn't vote for you.
I'm actually looking for some information
on a plant.
Enchanter's Nightshade.
A garden store in town sent me your way.
You're Mrs. Lunsford, right?
Maeve O'Hara. Anna Marie Lunsford was my aunt.
Oh, the tent revivalist, Sister Lunsford.
She's a- she's a part of Gibsons history.
Enchanter's Nightshade.
Yeah. It's been left on a shrine of a friend of mine.
Lauren Park.
Every month for as long as she's been dead,
which is 25 years now.
You wouldn't happen to know anything about that,
would you, Mrs. O'Hara?
A little.
I have a quiche in the oven, so if you want to talk,
maybe you come inside.
[tense music]
[voicemail] Hi, you've reached Cassandra.
You know what to do.
Hey, I just heard your message. Um, call me back when you can.
I'll try Holly now.
Basically, he's doing what he always does.
Climbing down into a case and disappearing.
I mean, I'm used to it. Our whole lives,
but Cassandra?
Have you talked to him?
That's what people do, Holl. They talk.
Except in this family, which is the problem.
[phone vibrating]
Dad. Hi.
Uh, Cassandra reach you?
- When? - She just left me a message.
Apparently, you're not answering your phone.
Yeah, my phone died.
Hey, did Cassandra tell you about Lundsford farm?
Anna Marie Lunsford. Sister Lunsford.
My aunt.
[Holly] It's wild, but I found this website--
Lunsford?
Lunsford Farm. 477 Peninsula Road. Let's go.
[sirens wailing]
Smells delicious.
Yes.
I baked it for a friend of mine.
Well, not actually a friend. A former employer.
She lost her husband.
Oh, I'm sorry to hear that.
Mmhmm. Two days ago, he fell.
[sirens wailing]
So you were asking about Enchanter's Nightshade.
It's associated
with vengeance in Greek mythology.
But I'm guessing that you knew that.
Do you know who leaves it on Lauren's shrine, Mrs. O'Hara?
Do they get it from you?
[tense music]
"Vengeance is mine, saith the Lord."
That was my aunt's perspective.
Lauren Park was a liar.
A bearer of false witness.
That is not true.
Your friend was rotten to the core.
Thanks for your time.
[sirens wailing]
- It's her! - Go, go, go!
...Heathens, the lot of you!
Drop the weapon!
You're surrounded!
May you rot in hell with the liars and the thieves
and the adulterers and the rest!
It's over! Drop the weapon!
May your torment be unceasing.
And your shrieking go unheard.
Put the knife down!
- [screams] - [knife clatters]
Maeve O'Hara,
I'm arresting you for the murder of Doug Bodanski.
May God rot your soul, and his!
You do have the right to remain silent.
Scream away.
I know what you're gonna say.
What are you doing here?
I thought your daughters were here.
I should have called 911.
But I was embarrassed, and I thought
that I was making something out of nothing.
I'm trained to do this, okay?
I carry a gun.
I'm in danger every day.
You didn't answer your phone
and I figured... I just- I figured wrong.
I'm not trying to play detective.
I hate your job.
What you did was reckless and stupid.
Brave, maybe, but--
But not that stupid. I was right, wasn't I?
Thank goodness you're okay.
Doug Bodanski.
Calvin Wiley.
Donald Truscott.
Lauren Park.
How many others?
You have no dominion over me.
You've been doing this for decades, Maeve.
Cleansing the Sunshine Coast.
How many others?
[sighs]
She's not going to talk, is she?
We'll see about that.
I'll pick it up tomorrow.
Forensics called.
The quiche Maeve was baking had enough cyanide
to kill a stable full of horses.
Phew!
Cassandra go home?
Yes. She said that she wanted to get ready for Holly's thing.
Really?
She went after- after what she went through today?
Yeah.
It's like she kind of loves you guys or something.
Well, I gotta go.
We got you covered.
I don't know what I'd do without you.
All of you.
Hey.
Following people, Officer?
No, I just...
I just saw you.
Uh, Vanessa...
I am so sorry.
And, uh, thank you.
Big time.
Still look like crap.
How are you doing?
I'm gonna be okay.
I think.
I'm getting myself some help.
That's good.
And...
I'm almost one day clean and sober,
thanks to you.
It started as a school assignment.
Our teacher wanted us to question Gibsons,
which led me to Lauren Park's memorial
on the way to the ferry terminal,
which led me to more memorials,
each one a life lived, loved and lost.
I found myself wanting to slow down
and really experience these memorials
and give them the attention they deserve.
So anyway, thanks so much for coming.
I hope you guys enjoy.
[applause]
[indistinct chatter]
- Hi. - Congratulations, honey.
Thank you.
My mom keeps messaging me.
Still won't tell me what's going on.
Tomorrow.
Am I ever going to meet her?
Did you get yourself another cat?
Oh, Felix came back.
Get out!
Two days ago, Holly saw her.
She must be pregnant.
I really hope you mean Felix.
Yes. Yes, I mean Felix.
Yeah. I'm taking it as a... as a sign.
Oh, of?
Good things to come.
Or you've got mice again.
Your daughter's amazing.
Yeah.
She was so nervous
about speaking in front of that crowd, and she was great.
Cassandra.
Thank you
for everything.
I don't say it enough.
I promise that--
Oh god, no promises.
What? Why not?
You know what our problem is?
We don't talk.
Oh, we're talking now.
We don't talk enough.
We banter. We make love, but when it comes to who we are?
- Just so you know. - Hmm?
You are it for me.
Last chance. Best chance.
I have spent
almost every day of the last six months with you,
and I have loved almost every one of them.
Oh.
And I feel like I know you, but I don't--
I don't know the first thing about you.
Ask anything you want.
Anything? God, dangerous.
Your dad.
Okay. What about him?
Do you know where he is?
Yes, I do.
And?
My turn.
- No, no, no, no. - My turn.
[groans]
Theoretically...
Mmhmm?
Could you...
see yourself...
[laughs]
