Detective Burke.
Ah, Miss Welker, hi.
Appreciate you flying in for this.
Yeah, I would fly in from Mars to testify against Lewandowski.
You know, I spent eight months of my life on that case.
I spent about as long prepping for the trial.
I empathize.
It'll be good to be finally
bringing him to justice.
Agreed. We'll get you prepped in my office.
Travis?
Huh.
Go ahead, I'll catch up.
What are you... Oh, Miss Welker.
You're here to testify in The Wolfman trial.
Yeah.
So are you still in... what's the name of that little town?
Uh, Garrison.
Yeah, still there.
And you're not bored to tears?
No.
Not even a little bit.
How long are you in town for?
I'm just here to testify.
Right.
Well, it's nice to see you, Travis.
You too, Kate.
-Miss Welker. -Mmmhmm.
Bye.
I know everything you can know about The Wolfman case,
and I swear Agent Coulson wasn't involved.
No. No, she wasn't.
She used to be my wife.

Synchronicity means "simultaneous events".
But the mystery writer George Simenon,
he chose to go with Carl Jung's interpretation,
which means "events connected by deep meaning."
And as you know because you've read this wonderful novel
over the weekend, that Simenon's detective Maigret,
that's what he's searching for meaningful connections, right?
Because that's how he solves the crimes.
Okay, so let's read a little bit, shall we?
Open your books please.
Okay, guys.
So next class I expect your opinion papers
on the synchronicity in Maigret's patients, okay?
All right. Thank you. Have a good day.
[students chattering]
Hey. Sorry I was late.
There's a first time for everything, right?
I was on the phone with Claire.
Yeah? Is she still in Hawaii?
She is.
Did she take the job?
She agreed to be the newest detective
at the Honolulu Police Department.
I'm sorry, Bud.
No, it's fine, really. I'm... I'm happy for her.
No, I know. I know you are.
But I got a plane ticket for the next break to visit her,
and I am committed to finishing up my PhD here at Elmstead.

Professor Winslow.
President Rivers. How are you?
Good.
On your way to the alumni function?
I am.
Do you have a moment?
Sure.
I'm in a bit of a bind.
Professor Higby's been in a skiing accident.
Oh, is he okay?
Some broken bones.
He'll be all right.
But the issue is, he's gone for the remainder of the semester.
I'm hoping that you might help me out.
You want me to take over the Search Committee
for the new Dean of Students?
Yes. How did you...
Well, Higby teaches biology,
so I just figured you wouldn't want me
filling in on his classes.
It's just the logical conclusion.
I knew I was making the right choice.
Look, I'm more than happy to help.
But just in full disclosure,
Professor Felton and I are friends
and I know she's a candidate, so...
I realize that you and Tabby are close.
But I trust your sterling logic
will supersede any personal alliances.
Thank you, Amy.
I'll have all the candidate files delivered to your office.
-Bye. -Bye.
[sighs]
So by globalizing our product line,
we're able to expand our brand,
and to be able to distribute that tax burden
in each and every one of those
seven different countries across the world.
Excuse me Larry, could I borrow Professor Winslow for a moment?
Of course.
Larry, we'll chat more about that.
I'll see you later.
Amy: Oh, thank you.
He was talking my ear off for 20 minutes
about merger arbitrage and global macro-investments.
Ugh.
I hear you.
But a hedge fund manager is a very nice alumni to have
when you're thinking about the endowment.
That is true.
Oh, speaking of university business,
did you hear about Professor Higby's skiing accident?
Yeah, poor guy.
I'm glad he's going to be okay though.
Yeah, me too.
And also I wanted to tell you that President Rivers
asked me to be the new Chair for the Search Committee
for the Dean of Students.
I see.
But I just want you to know also
that I have told her that we're friends, and that...
That you would also be brilliantly impartial
while you're considering me along with the other candidates.
She said as much, yeah.
Good. Because I want that job, Amy, but I want to earn it.
There she is.
[laughs]
Sorry. My lecture ran over.
No worries. Hey Amy.
Hey Joe.
Would you ladies like a drink?
No, I'm fine, thank you.
Sure. The usual?
You got it.
The usual, huh?
You guys have been seeing a lot of each other.
Well, as much as can be expected with two full-time schedules.
But yes. I guess it's... I guess.
[laughs]
Here you are.
And unfortunately the physics department
entire computer network just crashed, so...
You gotta go, Joe?
I gotta go.
But I'll hurry back.
Sorry for the PDA.
You're forgiven.
-Bye Joe. -Bye.
[laughs]
Aww. You guys are cute.
Speaking of cute, what about that detective friend of yours
that you help consult sometimes?
Travis? Oh, he's, he's good.
Oh, that smile tells me there is more to this story.
[laughs]
Alright. We had dinner.
There might've been a kiss.
[gasps]
PDA?
Not that public.
Oh. Well, I heartily approve.
[laughs]
You and I have given up so much for our professions.
About time we get some personal rewards.
True.
So, what's been going on since last week?
Well, you know, with the upcoming break
this place has been nuts.
And then Travis had to go to Chicago to testify for a case.
Two full-time schedules. I get it.
But you do plan to see him when he gets back?
Well, I...

Oh, sorry.
Ah, look at that.
Oh, impressive timing.
-I got to take this. -Most definitely.
I'll be right back.
Hello there.
[laughs]
Hello yourself.
How's the windy city?
It's intense. We've been prepping for hours.
Have you testified yet?
I'm heading to the courthouse right now.
Amy: Have you heard from Claire?
Yeah.
I mean, it was an opportunity she couldn't pass up.
It's Hawaii.
How's Bud taking it?
Oh, he's fine.
He's already booked his plane tickets.
But I guess you're going to be needing a new partner, huh?
You ready to give up teaching?
No. Well unfortunately I've been roped into being
the Chair for the Search Committee
for the new Dean of Students,
so I will not be able to enter the police academy.
Yeah well, that's my loss.
I will be back tomorrow night.
Um, you want to meet for dinner?
Uh... Yeah, I would like that.
Good, good. I'll text you the details.
Okay.

Detective Burke. Thank you for being here.
You were the investigating officer in four murders,
all attributed to a serial killer known as The Wolfman.
Where'd he get that name?
Well, as I studied the murders,
I realized the one thing that connected them.
They were all killed on full moon nights.
Turns out that the killer was obsessed with Greek mythology,
and he was making blood sacrifices to Artemis,
the goddess of the moon.
So, April 29, 2018.
Can you tell us who you arrested that night?
The defendant, Jeffrey Lewandowski.
Walk us through that, if you would.
Sure.
My partner and I had a hunch who the next victim was going to be.
See, we started making this observation
of patterns of chaos.
All the victims, leading up to the night
that they were murdered...
And, with all that evidence,
we arrested him not just for the two murders,
but also for the ones in Milwaukee and Gary, Indiana.
Thank you, Detective.
Your witness, Miss Bianco.
Detective.
Hmm.
You no longer work for the Chicago Police Department.
Why?
Objection. Relevance.
I'll allow it.
Uh, to be honest, my marriage was ending
and I needed a fresh start in a new place.
But since you mention my employment,
Miss Bianco, then allow me to mention the fact
that I'm currently the lead detective
of the Garrison Police Department
in Washington State, where I hold the record.
I've closed 100 percent of my cases.
Ooh.
Either a burglar has decided to cook me dinner,
or I've got the best daughter in the world.
You can decide that after you taste
my version of your marinara sauce.
I can't wait.
-Dad. -Yeah.
How'd the book tour go?
Well, readers are happy, and publisher's happy.
So I'm happy.
Amy: Good.
Yeah.
So, I... I saw your Uncle Alistar,
and he gave me this from his trip to Edinburgh.
What is it?
It's called a salt pig.
Why do they call it a pig?
I have no idea.
But I hope you like it, because here's one for you.
[laughs]
Okay.
Oh, Uncle Alistar. How is he?
Ah, you know. He's... fine.
What's that supposed to mean?
Well, maybe it's my ego, but he...
he came to my book reading and he left halfway through.
Really?
Yeah. He apologized.
Said it was an emergency with work.
Well, maybe just give him a few days and give him a call.
Yeah. Good idea.
[clears throat]
So?
What?
You talked to Travis?
[laughs]
-Yes. -Yeah.
I talked to Travis, and he was getting ready to testify,
so he's coming home tomorrow.
You seem pretty happy about that.
Well, guilty as charged.

Indeed I am.
My office is putting together a schedule of interviews for you
with the candidates.
Most of them will be via Zoom, of course.
Sure.
But here's the challenge.
Oh, no.
The Board would like to make an offer to our choice
on the first Monday of the break.
That's in like, six days?
I realize that.
Okay, but I haven't even met with the committee yet.
That's set for tomorrow at 7:00 AM.
Oh.
I wish you would've told me this yesterday.
I just got the edict handed to me this morning.
I'm under pressure here, Amy.
And I'm sorry to put it on you,
but honestly I can't think of anyone on the faculty
who could better handle it.
I know what you're doing here.
I can't say no, can I?
No, you can't. And thank you.
You're welcome.

Hello, hello Travis? Did I lose you?
Uh, no, no.
I'm going to have to call you back.

Let me get out of your way.
Oh, you're busy.
Yeah, tell me about it.
[sighs]
Hey, you know Joe, I wanted to just tell you
I'm really glad to see Tabby so happy.
Me too.
You know, I've been running IT at Elmstead
for almost five years now, and for whatever reason,
Tabby and I only had our first conversation two months ago.
Really?
Timing.
Is everything.
Apparently, it was the right timing for you both.
Hey, all set.
That's it?
That's it.
Okay.
Oh, did you not get one of the new laptops?
What are you talking about?
Well, we just got a new shipment come in.
Oh, well that thing's a dinosaur.
Do you want me to get you a new one?
Can you live without it for a couple of days?
Yeah, sure. Thank you.
Okay.
Well, we'll see you later.
Okay, bye Joe.
Kate: There was a flood in the men's room,
so the guard let Lewandowski use this accessible room alone.
Well, the guard could hear him singing through the door.
So after about five minutes, guard knocked, time's up,
the sound didn't stop.
Same song, over and over again.
So he gave it about a minute or two
before he realized, this isn't right.
Then he went in.
Forensics hasn't been in yet.
The recording came from this cellphone.
It belongs to Eva Bianco, Lewandowski's lawyer.
She says he lifted it from her right before he came in.
He knew her passcode?
Yeah, he could've easily seen her type it in.
She defends the bad guys, Trav. She's not one of them.
So what, he... he records the first verse of a song
and just plays it back on a loop?
Mm-hmm.
He escaped through that air duct.
Sometimes it pays to be small.
By the time they locked down the building he was gone,
but he did leave that message.
Yeah, I noticed that.
Is Eva Bianco missing a tube of lipstick too?
Mm-hmm.
Look, I know he's got a long list of enemies.
Yeah, which you think I'm at the top of it.
One hundred percent.
I think you should stay here, we can protect you.
I will be uh...
No, I'll be plenty safe in Garrison.
Plus I gotta get back to work.
Still all about work?
Yeah, I guess so.

It's okay. It's understandable.
I know how close you guys are.

so can you just meet him there?
I'm on my way.
I love you.
Love you too, kiddo.
My dad's going to meet Travis at the hospital.
Mmm.
He really loves him.
What's not to love?
I'm grateful to be his new partner.
So, why don't you walk me through what happened?
Okay. Uh, from what I can recall,
um, we were on the phone with each other,
walking towards each other.
And then the explosion happened,
and then when I looked up he was on the ground,
so I ran over to him.
First thing I did was check his pulse.
Of course, he had one.
And then, um, and then...
That man there, the neighbor, he came over.
Bill Breyer. He called 911.
Right, right.
And, um, and then Travis... Um, woke up.
Did you see anyone around the house before the explosion?
No, no. It was dark.

That's the owners.
Why don't you walk with me?
Okay.

What happened?
We don't know yet, sir.
The firefighters are still working.
Can you tell me where you've been?
Yeah, Chez Jacques, for dinner.
Where an idiot ran right into us.
We had to wait for the police to come.
It took them forever.
Huh.
Well, I would thank the cop that wrote you up
and the person that hit you.
What do you mean?
I mean Chez Jacques is only 30 minutes from here.
If you hadn't had that accident,
you would've been inside the house during the explosion.

Okay.
So no devices were found.
Negative.

What, your serial killer?
Yeah...
Yeah, he escaped from the courthouse this morning
and now the FBI thinks he's after Travis.
Yeah, and they think that guy
might be the one who's behind the explosion.
It... it's a theory. It's just a theory.
But if that theory is right,
then that means you were the target.

No. No, they didn't.

But this isn't a small explosion.
No.

Look, where the paper is peeling.
Are you talking about the fact that this drywall

So, from what I know about carbon dating,

Thank you.
Yep, that's correct.
And we're also going to do a DNA and dental records
and run them through CODIS and maybe we get lucky
and our victim's in the federal database.
Alberto, how much time do you need to get the results
for your tests?
Give me a few hours.
Yeah? Good.
I don't want to talk to the Goffs
until we get the results back on both fronts.
I'm going to go back to the office,
I'm going to run records and a background check on the Goffs
and on their nosy neighbor, Mr. Breyer.
I'll stay here and wait for detail.
Sounds good, buddy.
You want to stick with me?
Yeah, you know what this reminds me of?
What?
Edgar Allan Poe's "Murders in the Rue Morgue."
Did Edgar Allan Poe write about sticking a body in a wall?
Up a chimney.
Oh, wait a minute. Hold on a minute.
Claire told me this story the day I met you.
-Yeah? -Yeah.
Remember who the killer was?
No.
But I remember meeting you.
[laughs]
Okay, you get extra credit for that.
No, the... the murderer was an orangutang.
That's right.
He hid the body for fear he'd be punished.
Well, I bet you any money
that our killer did what they did for the same reason.
Hmm.
All right, so the Goffs don't have a record,
and looks like Bill Breyer
got his first Washington State driver's license last year.
I wonder where he was before that.
Chicago.
I searched William Breyer.
[laughs]
It says here that he worked at a law firm
called Lampert and Burnham for 20 years.
Wait, what?
What?
Eva Bianco, Lewandowski's lawyer, The Wolfman,
she works at Lampert and Burnham.
I gotta call Special Agent Coulson.
[whispers] Synchronicity.
Huh.
Yeah, I'll hold.
What is synchronicity, is that like a...
a series of coincidences.
Well, sort of. Not really.
It's... it's more about timing.
For instance, you know, you getting almost blown up
by an explosion, practically next door to the lawyer
who might've worked with The Wolfman's attorney.
I mean it's... it's fascinating.
It's a voicemail.
Hey, this is Travis, uh, Burke. Call me back when you get this.
Thanks, bye.
Hmm.
Speaking of Agent Coulson...
I know that you said that your ex-wife was an FBI agent,
and well, my dad said that her name was Kate, so...
[knocking]
CODIS is back up, so we're still waiting on DNA and dental,
but Alberto has news.
That table near the pellet stove had mercury fulminate on it.
Totally harmless until it's triggered by a shock.
Like an explosion from a pellet stove.
Wait a minute, what was mercury fulminate doing in the house?
[sighs heavily]
Let's go ask the Goffs.
♪
We're so glad you're all right, Detective.
Thank you, thank you. And how are you guys doing?
Well I mean, unsettled.
But glad we have a roof over our heads.
I think we got the last available room,
and I think every other guest is a birder.
Yeah, it's the season for it.
Uh, this is Alberto. He's the fire marshal.
He's going to tell you how your house blew up.
So it started with a small explosion in the pellet stove,
which can happen when those aren't cleaned
on a regular basis.
But that should've been contained by the stove.
It was, but I believe the shock
triggered a chemical you had on the table.
That's mercury fulminate.
Can you explain what that was doing there?
I teach science at Garrison High.
When I order supplies for my science class,
I have them sent to my home for safety.
I... I must have left the mercury fulminate on the table.
Look folks, seems like a case of bad timing.
I'm writing this up as an accident,
but Detective Burke has something else
to discuss with you.
Okay, thanks Alberto.
Um, can you folks confirm for me when you bought the house.
About 10 years ago?
10 years ago.
Why?
Um well, because...
Well, we found this in the wall near the stove.
Mummified remains, yes.
In our house?
Yes.
This is horrible.
Did you do any refurbishing in that room?
Um, no.
None.
Do you remember who you bought the house from?
Uh, I honestly can't remember their names.
We never met.
But you could check the real estate records
in our filing cabinet.
You mean this filing cabinet?
How about the realtor? You know that name?
Uh, Nick Groombridge?
I know Nick.
He sold me my house.
He retired about a year ago, moved to San Diego.
Okay, good.
Um, well then we'll check the county records, all right?
Thank you both.
You going to stay here and take a rest?
I'm actually feeling pretty good.
-Yeah? -Yeah.
You know what would make me feel better?
What?
Linguini and clams at Torcolettis.
Oh, okay, okay.
All right. Let me do this paperwork
and then I'll meet you there.
I'm not going to blame it on the concussion, but...
I rode with you?
Oh.
So then why don't you come with me,
help me with the paperwork...
Ahh.
No, no, no.
I see what you're doing there, but I like the paperwork.
You like it?
-Yeah. -Here.
[laughs]
And... boom!
Too soon, Travis.
It's too soon for boom?
Yes.
Looking good.
Amy, I'm talking about your board.
Your board looks good.
[laughs] Okay.
I can tell you're hungry.
Let's go get you some linguini and clams.
Yes. I would like that very, very much.
One condition, we don't talk about that.
No. Mm-mm.
Maria: Travis?
Yeah?
You have a visitor.
Hi, hi...
Hi.
Uh... Um...
Uh... Professor Amy Winslow.
Uh...
Special Agent Kate Coulson.
but I got paper towels.
Oh, perfect. Thank you.
So it looks like the explosion was a freak accident.
So while I appreciate the gesture,
you didn't really need to come out here, Kate.
Thank you. I respectfully disagree.
Lewandowski's still in the wind,
and I am looking at his number one target.
And I want to talk to this Bill Breyer guy,
I don't, I don't like coincidences.
Mm. Professor Winslow and I
were just talking about synchronicity.
Ah, the great Carl Jung.
You're a fan?
Uh, yeah.
Jungian archetypes are good for profiling.
Are you a psych professor?
Literature.
Yeah. Professor Winslow specializes in crime fiction.
And you brought her in.
Mm-hmm.
Why is that a surprise?
Because he hates crime fiction.
Uh, you know, things change.
For the record, I am a huge fan of consultants.
We use them a lot at the bureau.
I just have never heard of using a literature professor.
But I guess things change.
So, let's talk about the serial killer
who wants to make you pay,
and how we are going to use you to catch him.
Me? I'm bait?
I'm sorry, bait?
It's a full moon tomorrow,
which as you know is our window of opportunity to get this guy.
So we have to lay out a situation
where he is tempted to strike.
You mean, where he's tempted to kill Travis.
Amy, we've done this before.
So what you do, is you... you set somebody on a target out,
it's easy for the killer to get to and... tcch.
Yes.
No, no!
You have a concussion.
You just got out of the hospital.
I mean, is there no other way?
He can't put himself in danger.
There's minimal danger.
The advantage of where you guys live
is that we can locate a remote cabin,
we can put officers there earlier in the day
so that when Travis goes, we are fortified
to both draw Lewandowski in and to get him.
Okay, that all sounds very dangerous.
Amy, Kate's right.
She's right, look. We have this window, all right?
If that window closes we have to wait until the next full moon.
So it's, it's okay.
-It's going to be okay -Okay.
-I promise. -All right?
All right.
Okay. All right, how far away is New Windsor?
Mm, what do you say?
-Like, two hours? -Couple hours.
It's a two-hour drive, why?
Oh. Because there are no hotels available in Garrison.
Apparently, there's a birdwatcher invasion.
It's a long drive. I'd better get going.
It's very nice to meet you.
You too.
I'll call you both with details.
Okay.
Have a safe drive.
Hey, Kate?
Yeah?
You know, I have a spare room.
Save you the drive.
Are you sure?
Yeah.
Yeah, we can discuss... crime fiction.
[laughs]
Thank you, that'd be great.
Okay, I'll just grab my coat.
Thank you.
Good night, Detective Burke.
Night, Trav.
Have fun, ladies.

Oh yeah, that's my dad.
Wow.

I remember trying to convince Travis
to read the first Atticus Keller novel.
No dice.
Now he's a crime fiction fan? What was your secret?
Well, I guess I just never tried to convince him.
[laughs]
I'll show you to your room.
I hope this is okay.
I am grateful to the birdwatchers.
This beats a four-star hotel.
Oh, well I guess you probably haven't gotten a lot of sleep

Hey uh, you've met Mr. Breyer.
Do you want to lead the questioning
and I'll be the strong silent FBI agent?
Whose mere presence will intimidate him
into confessing that he's been secretly
conspiring with The Wolfman for months?

You sound skeptical.
What would your consultant say
about you questioning the great Carl Jung?
For the record, she is not my consultant.
She is a consultant.

Right.
Well, for the record I like her.
Yeah?
And her use of Jungian theory.

So you had, you had a good time at her place?
Yeah.
Yeah, we stayed up until 2:00 AM talking about you.

I do not think this lawyer's here.
No, I think you're right.
Um, why don't we head back to the station?
We'll work on the wolf trap.
Good.
Well, there's no way that Lewandowski
could've scouted this cabin in advance.
And it's remote enough that we hope he'll want to strike.
Yeah, yeah.
Hey, what do you got?
Okay.
So I got the real estate records for 19 Sawcross Lane.
The Goffs bought their house from David and Darren Ellis.
Are these guys brothers?
Mm-hmm. Twins.
But the property was originally deeded to their mother,
Judy Ellis 16 years ago at the time of her death.
Could I see that.
Uh, yeah.
Thanks.
So they live in Mountainview Condos.
That's where Bud lives. Maybe he knows them.
Maybe.
Oh, and we got the medical examiner results from our mummy.
Cause of death was several blows to the head from the front.
So she saw who killed her.
And there was tissue under the fingernails.
Good.
Sent the samples to CODIS for a DNA match on that,
but here's the thing.
Carbon dating says she was 52 at the time of death 16 years ago.
That's when the Ellis twins' mother died
and they got the house.
We need to talk to those twins.
16 years ago, about 28.,
Yeah.
52 wouldn't be a good age for Judy Ellis.
You know, we got to find out how she died,
when she died, everything we can find out, yeah?
I can get on that.
But meanwhile, shouldn't you be heading up to the cabin?
Oh...
[sighs]
The time is now.
All right.
I got my backpack packed, and look at this.
Care of Graham Winslow?
I've got a little reading material.
[laughs]
Hey.
I hate to ask you one more time,
but are you sure this is 110 percent safe?
Amy. There are four plainclothes police officers,
yeah, taking shifts all night. It's safe.

Prying in your relationship with Travis.

Never underestimate him.
This looks amazing, thank you so much.
You're welcome.

♪
So I want to apologize.
I wasn't completely honest with you the other day
when you asked about my relationship with the Goffs.
Okay?
A couple of months ago I made an offer on their house
and they rejected it.
You wanted to buy the house that you lived down the street from?
I wanted to help them out.
They'd gone through a terrible ordeal.
Did it have anything to do with their son?
Yes.
How did you know?
Um, well, I... when I was in the Goff's house
I just happened to see a photo of a boy
growing into a teenager.
It was actually that boy there. I think that was the same photo.
Terry. Great kid.
Wanted to be a lawyer.
Bill: So we got to be pals.
And what happened?
ALS.
Mel and Rita did everything they could for him.
Spared no expense.
When did he die?
Five months ago.
Afterward, I made the offer on the house and they got upset.
Hmm.
I'm sorry about your loss.
Did you happen to know the previous owners
of that house, by any chance?
Judy Ellis or her boys?
She had twins, Darren and David?
I only moved here a little over a year ago.
Yeah, from Chicago, right?
Yeah. How did you...
Eva Bianco from Lampert and Burnham.
When was the last time you talked to her?
What's going on here?
This isn't about the house.
No sir. It's about Jeffrey Lewandowski.
The serial killer?
Mm-hmm.
I... I saw the news. He escaped.
Eva was his attorney.
[snaps fingers]
Burke.
You're the one that put him away.
You got a target on your back.
So you're thinking maybe the explosion at the house
had something to do...
No, the explosion was an accident.
We were just struck by the synchronicity
of you working with Eva.
Well, I uh, I wish I could help you.
But I haven't spoken to Eva since I retired from L&B,
and that was well over a year ago.
All right.
Thank you, Mr. Breyer.
-You're more than welcome. -Thank you.
Amy, what did you think?
Well, I mean, Bill did seem genuinely upset
about Terry's death, you know.
Clearly wants to help the Goffs,
just like he did the night where he called 911
after the explosion,
but if that has any ties to Lewandowski, I don't know.
See after last night and this being a bust,
I don't know.
Maybe we're all wrong about The Wolfman coming after me.
I hear you, but playing devil's advocate,
Lewandowski's had over a year to plot his revenge,
which won't be simple because nothing with him is.
So I'm going to stay a couple days, if I may.
Yeah, of course.

Mm, it's one of the Ellis twins, hang on.
Poor couple.
They lose their son and now this.

Bye Amy.
Bye.
Oh wow, thank you.
Don't act surprised.
Amy, hey.
Hey.
Listen, I wanted to talk to you about the twin brothers
who have condos in your building.
Do you know them?
David and Darren Ellis? Yeah, why?
You remember the house I told you that blew up?
Right.
Well, they used to own it
and we found a dead body hidden in the wall.
What?
I know, I know, it's crazy.
So, I mean, do you think that they would be capable of murder?
[laughs]
The only people they would be capable of murdering
would be each other.
In all seriousness, they're... they're good guys.
I know them well.
I feed Darren's fish when he's gone, water David's plants,
but they cannot stand each other.
They haven't spoken in years.
Interesting.
Yeah.
Okay. Well listen, I have candidate interviews.
I've got to go.
-Okay. -Bye.
Good luck.

How are you?
I'm well.
I'm glad to finally be interviewing someone in person.

So, here we are.
Here we are.
You applied for the Dean of Students position.
I did. But I gotta tell you that, uh...
Joe got offered a job to run the IT department
at Oxford University,
and he asked me to go with him.
What? All the way to England?
I know, I... I've got some sabbatical time saved up,
so I thought...
But not if you're the new Dean of Students.
Are you withdrawing?
No.
I want this job, and I'm the right candidate for this job.
No one knows these students
or the mission of Elmstead like I do.
It's just... you know.
Work, relationships.
It's never an easy balance.
No.
Speaking of which, I heard about your detective friend,
what happened, him being in the hospital?
He's fine, he's fine, but thank you for asking.
Good. Joe knows her.
Knows who?
The woman whose house had the explosion?
Oh, Rita Goff.
Yeah, yeah, he's done some guest lecturing
for her class in Garrison High.
Wait a minute, Joe's lectured in a chemistry class?
No, no. She teaches computer science.

Happy to help.
-All right. -Bye.
Thank you.

Hi, Amy.
You're on speaker.
We're just leaving the Ellis brothers.
Wait a minute. You spoke to them together?
No, no. They wouldn't have that.
No, but here's something interesting.
Judy Ellis can't be the body in the wall.
She was an amputee.
Hmm. Well, that's conclusive.
You know, but just because it's not her
doesn't mean that the twins are innocent.
In fact, there could be potentially dozens of suspects.
They rented their house every ski season and went to Florida.
So, depending on when the body went in the wall...
Yeah, exactly. It could be any one of their renters.
Do they have any records?
They do, um, but here's the thing.
It's in a, they're in a storage facility,
and they have this lock that takes two keys to open.
And let me guess.
Each one of the twins have a key
and they won't be in the same room at the same time.
Bingo.
So now I got to go convince a judge
to get a court order to compel them into the same room.
You know, maybe Bud can help.
Why Bud?
-Who's Bud? -Teaching assistant.
He's friendly with both of them.
Couldn't hurt to ask.
But before we do that, I know why the Goff's house blew up.
The mercury fulminate.
Well, no, sorry. Let me rephrase that.
I know the motive as to why the Goff's house blew up.
And it has something to do with the time of their accident.
Do you want to know what I know?
Hi Rita, hey Mel.
Thank you guys so much for coming in.
No problem.
So, I just have a few more questions I need to ask you
before the fire marshal submits his report
to the insurance company and you guys get your check.
Sounds terrific.
What did you want to ask?
Well, the one question I want to start with is,
I'm just curious, why didn't you sell your house to Bill Breyer?
Well, you know, just sentimental value.
Yeah.
Are you sure it wasn't because you took a second mortgage
out on the house to pay for your son's treatments?
How did you get this?
That's... our bank statement.
Yeah. No, I got a warrant for that.
See, and what this tells me is you guys are behind
on your payments.
If you accepted Bill Breyer's offer,
that check, that would've gone straight to the bank.
But if you blow up half your house,
well then you get this huge insurance payout,
and then all your financial troubles are solved.
That's ridiculous.
As ridiculous as a computer science teacher
buying chemicals?
Yeah.
Rita, Mel. You are not criminals by nature.
If you were experienced criminals,
you would've noticed that there was a security camera
in the parking lot at Chez Jacques.
Let me show you something.
Look at that.
That's you guys getting into your car at 6:20.
I'm going to scrub ahead and play you waiting patiently
for that car to cross behind you so that you can bump into it.
Now there's the fender bender that conveniently kept you away
from the house, while the stove that you packed with pellets
exploded in front of the mercury fulminate that you planted.
Guys, you are very lucky that all I walked away with
was a concussion.
You are extremely lucky that the fire department
showed up in time to save other people's homes.
All of this can be explained.
Yeah, no. I know, Mel.
I just explained it.
[tearfully] We...
Detective, we never meant for anyone to get hurt.
We lost our son and we didn't want to lose our home.
I'm sorry.
We're charging you with arson, fraud, and conspiracy.
He's good at what he does.
But he wouldn't be arresting them if it weren't for you.
I'm glad you all could come for a home-cooked meal.
[water running]
All right, I got dirty plates.
All right. Thanks.
So uh, would you mind a rather impertinent question?
Well, I don't know. Ask me and I'll tell you.
What happened then that ended things between you and Kate?
Ah.
Huh.
All right, first off I forgive you for the question.

Thank you.

I mean here, listen.

Really wanted that house, huh?
I wanted to help them.
Of course you did.
And I just meant that you were selfless.
Yeah.
Yeah, that's pretty selfless.
Oh, oh, and I talked to Eva Bianco from L&B.
And she confirmed that you guys knew each other.
And that you haven't had any contact since you left Chicago.
As I told you.
She said that she knew your ex-wife?
Sure. Right.
Deirdre was a paralegal at L&B before we divorced.
She went to Italy after that.
When was that?
Uh, 16 years ago?
Sixteen years ago.
Sixteen years ago you also rented a house from Judy Ellis.
That house right down the street, right?
Sixteen years ago?
I'm sorry?
This is you, right?
It's your driver's license from the State of Illinois
that you used to rent that house for three weeks 16 years ago.
You remember,
and in the third week you filed for divorce in Guam?
[laughs nervously]
That's... That's not illegal.
No, no. No, it's not. But um, murder is.
Excuse me?
That's Deirdre Breyer.
Travis: That's your ex-wife.
We found her in the walls of the house.
Cause of death?
Several blows to the front of her head.
See, Eva, she told me that your relationship with Deirdre
was a rough one.
That you guys fought a lot.
So, maybe, maybe it's an accident.
Hmm, maybe just had enough of her, you know?
Yeah.
But here's the thing, what's he supposed to do?
Is he supposed to carry the body out the front door?
Think of all the neighbors.
They'd see that.
There's too many people.
Yeah.
And there's no fence in the backyard.
See, you can't bury the body in the backyard.
No, no, no. You can't do that.
So you know what you do?
What?
Exactly what he did.
He mummified her.
Amy: Put her in the wall, sealed it up.
You see, it's something else. We did our homework, Bill.
Deirdre was an only child.
Her parents were long gone before you rented that house.
You were her family.
Nobody to wonder why she hasn't come back from Italy.
You know why? It's 'cause she never went to Italy.
She was stuck in the wall of that house.
Which by the way, the Goffs bought, right?
Well, here's the thing.
You see, I just happen to know the real estate agent
that sold the Goffs their house, because he sold me mine.
Now lucky for you, he took off to San Diego and retired.
Lucky for me, I got ahold of him.
He said that the Ellis brothers,
when they put that house on the market, you made an offer.
And then the Goffs came in at the 11th hour
and they made an all-cash offer.
They just stole it from you.
Travis: You retired a year ago.
You buy this beautiful house
because you want to get that body out.
You went as far as befriending Terry Goff
in hopes that you could somehow get into that house.
But what you didn't know, was how sick he was,
and how much his parents cared for him.
So you never had that opportunity.
They didn't leave.
They haven't taken a vacation in over a year, Bill.
No.
No, when Terry died, you just,
you made 'em an offer that you thought they couldn't refuse.
Oh yeah, but they had other plans, right?
Well, which almost worked out for them.
But that's what you were doing the day that we saw you
trying to get into the house.
You were trying to get rid of that terrible secret.
It's been a while since I heard such conjecture
from some foolish investigators.
To be honest, I don't miss it.
You know, Bill. Oh boy, it's not conjecture.
We matched Deirdre's dental records.
It's still conjecture about me having anything to do with it.
Oh.
Forensics, you know what they found?
They found skin and blood under her fingernails,
and I'm guessing
that's from where she tried to fight you off.
You're under arrest, Bill.
As you know, counsellor, you have the right to remain silent.
Which I hope, I hope that you do.
Because your DNA is going to do the talking.

Here we are.
Uh, well, thank you for the ride.
Thank you, Amy.
For helping me solve not one, but two cases
in the house of synchronicity.
[laughs]
[sighs]
Both: Listen...
Listen, I want to...
No.
-Go ahead. -Go ahead.
-Ladies first. -No, you!
-Go. It's your turn. -Please.
Okay, all right. I will start. Um, what do I want to say?
How do I say this?
[phone rings]
Hold on a second.
I'm sorry.
Let me grab this real quick.
Hi.
[whispers] Uh, It's fine.
[whispers] Wait.
Hi Kate. Yeah.
[whispers] Bye.
Travis: Hi. Wait!
-Bye. -Bye.
[knocking at door]
Amy?
Hey, come on in.
You know, you should get in the habit of locking
that door behind you.
[laughs] I was going to lock it.
Um, I just wanted to make sure I get this book back to your dad.
Oh. Did you read it already?
Yeah, yeah, it was good.
I do prefer Atticus Keller.
Oh, well my Dad will love to hear that.
Um, so what I was trying to say back in the car.
It's been an interesting few days, yeah?
-Yeah. -Yeah.
And seeing Kate again, it made me feel, um...
[laughs]
It's not...
I'm not explaining myself well here.
It's um...
[gunshot]
Woah.
Stay down, stay down.
You okay?
Yeah.
Are you okay?
Yeah.
Stay here.
Wha!
All right, Amy.
You almost got hit, are you okay?
No, I'm fine. I didn't get hit.
Yeah, hey, this is Travis Burke.
I'm at Amy Winslow's house.
There's been a shooting.
[police radio chatter]
357.
Well, I'm guessing The Wolfman
didn't want to wait for the next full moon.
Or he's deliberately altering his pattern.
Where were you standing?
I was here.
I was right here.
Uh-uh. Way too close.
Our trap scheme is blown.
We need to get to get you to the station
and put you in lockdown right away.
We've got a caravan outside ready to roll.
Good.
You can't stay here.
Okay. I'll go with you.
No Amy, I'm sorry. I can't risk a civilian.
Okay, you know what, why don't you pack a bag
and go to your Dad's, yeah?
Okay.
Maria, will you just help her?
We'll have an officer drop you.
[thunder rolls]
Honey. I'm too stressed to cook.
I'm going to grab Thai at that new place across town.
Okay.
Want to come?
[phone buzzing]
Uh, uh, uh, hold on Dad.
Just...
Hello?
Sure.
Uh, go ahead.
Okay.
I'm going to lock up.
Okay.
Yeah, hi.
Sure. Sure.
I'm actually at my dad's. It's 22 Locust Ridge.
Okay. All right, bye.
[doorbell rings]
Hey Joe, come on in.
Hey Amy.
You got five minutes so I can show you how to set this up?
Absolutely.
How you doing?
Good.
So I was just getting ready to fix a cup of coffee.
Do you want one?
Oh, I'd love one.
Are you serious?
You sure?
Okay, I'll call you back.
Maria?
I'm on with the state police.
You can hang up.
That was the FBI field office in Minneapolis.
Jeffrey Lewandowski was shot and killed two hours ago
in Saint Joe, Minnesota
by a farmer whose home he was breaking into.
Two hours ago?
He's never been in Garrison?
Nope.
Then who took a shot at you?
Yeah.
All right. I'm coming into Amy's kitchen.
She's standing where you are. I'm here.
There's a book. I was spinning it.
It fell to the ground and we both bent down to pick it up,
and that's when the shot was fired.
Oh no, they weren't aiming at me.
Okay.
[phone buzzing]
So I heard Tabby told you about my news.
Yeah, that's amazing.
Congratulations.
Yeah.
It's funny to think that she might get her big promotion
and not be able to come with me.
Oh, well you don't know that.
When you going to make your decision on that?
I can't talk about that, Joe.
Well, I'm kidding.
I know you already did.
I'm sorry?
Tabitha Felton is the clear choice for Dean of Students.
What?
Of course I changed that email before it went out.
You ended up choosing another candidate.
You weren't installing protection
on my computer, were you?
Were you?
What? Joe wha?
Joe. What is that?
Gunshots are too messy.
You were aiming at me.
It wasn't The Wolfman.
I couldn't have you denying the email I doctored.
So wait a minute.
You would kill me to get Tabby to go to Oxford with you?
I've been a lonely person for a very, very long time.
Joe...
Don't make this difficult.
No, come on Joe...
[yells] Ahhhhh!!!

Hey Joe.
Amy!
I'm back here!
[out of breath]
How did you know?
We got word that The Wolfman was killed in Minnesota.
I realized that you were the target.
You were right.
I'm sorry I didn't come sooner.
Who... who is this guy?
[sighs heavily]
It's Joe Gearon.
He runs the IT department at Elmstead.
Why is he, why is he trying to kill you?
Because he's in love.
We have the suspect.
Please send back up.
♪
Okay.
You called him.
He asked to be called.
Hey.
Were you going to leave without saying goodbye?
That was the plan.
You know I hate goodbyes.
Yeah well, say "see you soon" then.
See you soon then.
[laughs]
Both of you, I hope.
I hope so.
Thank you.
And you, take care.
[whispers] She's great.
Thank you.
Bye guys.
Bye.
[sighs]
[car engine starts]
So. You disappointed
you won't get to snap the cuffs on The Wolfman?
No. I'm just glad that it's all over.
I'm glad that you're okay.
Uh...
Do you want to come inside?
Yeah.
So how is Tabby?
Uh, well, I think she's still in shock, you know.
But she's focusing on her new position as Dean of Students.
It's been some week, right?
[laughs]
Some week?
Is that how you want to sum it all up, Detective?
Well how would you summarize it, Professor?
Well, I mean, think about it.
I mean just think about the timing of everything, right?
The... the chemicals exploding, the timing of Breyer's ski trip,
the book falling off the counter.
The book.
You know, then we've got Tabby and Joe
and their prospective job offer, the timing of that.
It's just...
Yeah.
Textbook synchronicity.
Textbook, yeah.
And then there's us.
Our timing.
Mm.
Yeah, it's been a little...
-It's been a little off. -Off.
Yeah.
How do you want to fix it?
I want to do this.
