[narrator]: In Toronto's
war on crime,
2
00:00:05,091 --> 00:00:07,953
the worst offenders
are pursued by the detectives
3
00:00:07,953 --> 00:00:11,022
of the specialized criminal
investigations unit.
4
00:00:11,022 --> 00:00:12,608
These are their stories.
5
00:00:16,539 --> 00:00:19,505
[soft ominous music]
6
00:00:33,850 --> 00:00:35,712
[sighs]
7
00:00:40,091 --> 00:00:43,022
Hey, I got your number
from a friend. Can we meet?
8
00:00:47,574 --> 00:00:49,919
Never would've made you
for a junkie.
9
00:00:51,367 --> 00:00:53,229
You don't know me.
10
00:00:56,953 --> 00:00:58,643
Wow.
11
00:01:00,022 --> 00:01:02,436
We're a far cry
from the little storefront
you had on Dundas,
12
00:01:02,436 --> 00:01:05,539
where we did my first show,
if I remember correctly,
13
00:01:05,539 --> 00:01:08,091
and you sold all my pieces.
14
00:01:08,091 --> 00:01:11,505
Mm-hmm. Did you come
all this way to talk
about the past, Rick?
15
00:01:11,505 --> 00:01:14,643
No. I've actually...
16
00:01:14,643 --> 00:01:16,677
I've been working
on a new series of prints.
17
00:01:16,677 --> 00:01:17,953
Don't have anything
to show you yet--
18
00:01:17,953 --> 00:01:21,160
Wait, are you suggesting
that I represent you again?
19
00:01:21,160 --> 00:01:23,574
Thought we could talk
about it, at least.
20
00:01:23,574 --> 00:01:25,919
What? What,
it's not a good time?
21
00:01:25,919 --> 00:01:29,884
Oh, of course not.
I'm just days out from opening
this gallery on Friday.
22
00:01:29,884 --> 00:01:33,712
I haven't even mounted
Eve's show yet, which is going
to be amazing, by the way.
23
00:01:33,712 --> 00:01:37,505
But no, no, I'm not busy at all.
- You know what you need?
24
00:01:37,505 --> 00:01:40,677
You need a macchiato
from next door.
25
00:01:40,677 --> 00:01:43,401
Just take a little break.
I'm buying, for once.
26
00:01:43,401 --> 00:01:46,677
We'll have a little chat,
I'll have you back here
in 15 minutes, I promise.
27
00:01:46,677 --> 00:01:49,160
Huh, Lee? The plumber is
on the phone.
28
00:01:49,160 --> 00:01:51,022
Oh, should he call back?
29
00:01:51,022 --> 00:01:53,229
Absolutely not,
I've been calling him all week.
30
00:01:53,229 --> 00:01:54,850
Look...
- To be continued.
31
00:01:54,850 --> 00:01:58,056
Fine.
Come to my lecture tonight.
32
00:01:58,056 --> 00:02:00,850
See you later.
- Wouldn't it be great
to start fresh?
33
00:02:00,850 --> 00:02:02,229
You have so much baggage
with her.
34
00:02:02,229 --> 00:02:04,022
What did I do to piss her off?
35
00:02:04,022 --> 00:02:06,298
Stop it, you don't need Lee
to put you on the map,
36
00:02:06,298 --> 00:02:08,367
and you don't need
to prove anything.
37
00:02:08,367 --> 00:02:11,367
I think her problem was that
you didn't produce enough
fast enough.
38
00:02:11,367 --> 00:02:12,884
I know how stressful
that can be.
39
00:02:12,884 --> 00:02:15,746
Oh yeah, do you, Ms. Paletto
Award Winning Artist?
40
00:02:15,746 --> 00:02:17,643
Did Lee really say
I was too slow?
41
00:02:17,643 --> 00:02:20,815
Tell me, Eve.
This is my life.
- Right, your life. Your career.
42
00:02:20,815 --> 00:02:22,298
And what is that supposed
to mean?
43
00:02:22,298 --> 00:02:24,608
If you want a gallerist,
do some new work, Rick.
Good work.
44
00:02:24,608 --> 00:02:27,953
Don't just talk about it.
'Cause there's no free rides,
and this art career you want?
45
00:02:27,953 --> 00:02:30,367
It's not
all it's cracked up to be.
- Neither was our marriage.
46
00:02:30,367 --> 00:02:32,470
Which is why we're separated.
47
00:02:36,988 --> 00:02:39,091
[ominous music]
48
00:02:45,194 --> 00:02:47,953
So essentially, if you're
gonna make great art,
49
00:02:47,953 --> 00:02:52,125
you need to pour your unique,
authentic self into it.
50
00:02:52,125 --> 00:02:56,712
And only by doing that will your
work stand the test of time.
51
00:02:56,712 --> 00:02:58,125
Thank you.
52
00:02:58,125 --> 00:03:00,608
[applause]
53
00:03:02,263 --> 00:03:03,677
Over-served?
54
00:03:03,677 --> 00:03:06,677
Understatement.
He started early.
55
00:03:13,160 --> 00:03:15,574
- Hi.
- That was great.
56
00:03:15,574 --> 00:03:18,470
This is Jasper Claes,
one of our grad students.
57
00:03:18,470 --> 00:03:20,367
Fantastic painter.
58
00:03:20,367 --> 00:03:21,919
Well, I did learn
from the best.
[laughs]
59
00:03:21,919 --> 00:03:24,229
Yes, pile on the compliments.
60
00:03:24,229 --> 00:03:27,022
We don't want her
to quit teaching.
- I do.
61
00:03:27,022 --> 00:03:28,919
What? She's my best artist.
I do.
62
00:03:28,919 --> 00:03:31,436
Hey, buddy. Let me give you
a hot tip.
63
00:03:31,436 --> 00:03:35,263
If you want to be represented
by the great Lee Sloane
over here,
64
00:03:35,263 --> 00:03:37,401
you gotta be more
like Eve--
65
00:03:37,401 --> 00:03:39,022
Okay, let's take a walk, alright?
66
00:03:39,022 --> 00:03:41,229
Oh, let's take a walk,
let's take a walk...
67
00:03:41,229 --> 00:03:45,470
Oh, I'm in trouble now...
How do you sell that drivel?
68
00:03:47,367 --> 00:03:49,815
It's okay, it's okay.
Oh, hey...
69
00:03:52,194 --> 00:03:53,988
[grunts]
70
00:04:04,022 --> 00:04:05,988
Hey, hey, hey.
71
00:04:05,988 --> 00:04:09,125
Come back downstairs.
Don't babysit.
72
00:04:10,505 --> 00:04:12,608
Not here, okay?
73
00:04:16,160 --> 00:04:18,160
[sighs]
74
00:04:18,160 --> 00:04:20,194
That guy's such an asshole.
75
00:04:20,194 --> 00:04:22,332
That's why I'm divorcing him.
76
00:04:22,332 --> 00:04:24,194
Are you?
77
00:04:24,194 --> 00:04:26,574
I saw you guys earlier.
78
00:04:26,574 --> 00:04:29,988
Please. I just need
to get through this week,
79
00:04:29,988 --> 00:04:32,263
then everything will change.
80
00:04:33,022 --> 00:04:34,367
Alright.
81
00:04:34,988 --> 00:04:36,850
Jasper.
82
00:04:36,850 --> 00:04:39,332
I love you.
It'll be fine.
83
00:04:41,712 --> 00:04:44,367
[festive ambient music]
84
00:04:48,332 --> 00:04:50,781
I'll be back.
I gotta get more wine.
85
00:04:52,746 --> 00:04:55,401
[muffled argument]
86
00:04:56,470 --> 00:04:57,746
[dropping]
87
00:05:01,229 --> 00:05:03,574
[tense music]
88
00:05:10,505 --> 00:05:12,367
[knife clicking on the floor]
89
00:05:30,367 --> 00:05:33,332
[theme music]
90
00:06:09,815 --> 00:06:11,988
Janitor found Eve Kinwood
at 6 a.m.,
91
00:06:11,988 --> 00:06:13,712
stabbed multiple times
in the back.
92
00:06:13,712 --> 00:06:15,988
Also at the base of her skull.
93
00:06:17,608 --> 00:06:19,332
You talked to the staff?
94
00:06:19,332 --> 00:06:22,470
Most of them were at a party
last night. No one saw anything.
95
00:06:22,470 --> 00:06:24,574
No cameras?
96
00:06:24,574 --> 00:06:27,056
No. No keyless logs either.
97
00:06:27,056 --> 00:06:30,298
Nothing to monitor who comes
and goes in this part
of the building.
98
00:06:30,298 --> 00:06:32,677
Oh. A trusting,
close-knit community.
99
00:06:32,677 --> 00:06:34,815
Or a jealous and divided one.
100
00:06:34,815 --> 00:06:37,884
It's a Paletto Award. Highest
art award in the country.
101
00:06:37,884 --> 00:06:39,988
Graff, Bateman.
102
00:06:40,953 --> 00:06:43,160
I was getting more wine...
for the party.
103
00:06:43,160 --> 00:06:45,367
I heard yelling.
- An argument?
104
00:06:45,367 --> 00:06:48,194
I think so. It was muffled.
105
00:06:49,263 --> 00:06:51,988
But then something hit
the floor. Hard.
106
00:06:51,988 --> 00:06:53,367
What time was this?
107
00:06:53,367 --> 00:06:55,436
Around 5:30.
108
00:06:56,539 --> 00:06:58,746
I thought it was nothing.
I didn't even go check.
109
00:06:58,746 --> 00:07:00,919
Who would do this?
110
00:07:00,919 --> 00:07:03,056
Everyone loved Eve.
111
00:07:03,056 --> 00:07:04,712
Thank you.
112
00:07:06,470 --> 00:07:08,781
[Graff sighs]
So what do we have?
113
00:07:08,781 --> 00:07:12,677
An argument,
multiple stab wounds.
114
00:07:12,677 --> 00:07:15,194
It could indicate
a crime of passion.
115
00:07:15,194 --> 00:07:18,125
Great.
So our suspects are only...
116
00:07:18,125 --> 00:07:21,229
everyone who ever loved
or hated Eve. Easy.
117
00:07:21,229 --> 00:07:24,298
It could be the person
who touched this.
118
00:07:25,505 --> 00:07:27,677
Had blood on their hand
119
00:07:27,677 --> 00:07:30,677
and transferred it
when they stood up.
120
00:07:31,919 --> 00:07:34,712
Tech found this in a garbage
can down the hall.
121
00:07:36,712 --> 00:07:38,505
Dried blood.
122
00:07:38,505 --> 00:07:40,953
Somebody tried
to wipe this clean.
123
00:07:40,953 --> 00:07:42,746
Let me see her!
124
00:07:46,367 --> 00:07:48,988
So when was the last time
you saw Eve?
125
00:07:48,988 --> 00:07:52,781
The last time I saw her was
at Lee's lecture. Yesterday.
126
00:07:52,781 --> 00:07:54,988
- Who else was there?
- Students, you know.
127
00:07:54,988 --> 00:07:56,608
Some faculty.
128
00:07:56,608 --> 00:07:58,367
I left early, I was unwell.
129
00:07:58,367 --> 00:08:01,677
A whole bottle of scotch
would certainly make one feel...
unwell.
130
00:08:01,677 --> 00:08:04,953
I had a couple of drinks,
okay? I was tired,
I came up here,
131
00:08:04,953 --> 00:08:07,022
I slept for a little bit
and then I went home.
132
00:08:07,022 --> 00:08:09,367
- What time was this?
- About 7.
133
00:08:10,229 --> 00:08:12,022
And when Eve didn't come
home...
134
00:08:14,194 --> 00:08:16,194
We were separated.
135
00:08:16,194 --> 00:08:17,850
We had been for
a little over a year,
136
00:08:17,850 --> 00:08:19,505
so she kept the house
and I moved out.
137
00:08:21,125 --> 00:08:24,367
It must've been hard
working so close to your ex.
138
00:08:25,643 --> 00:08:27,988
There was always issues,
but you know, she was my friend.
139
00:08:27,988 --> 00:08:31,229
And we talked all the time about
140
00:08:31,229 --> 00:08:34,160
life, and school, and my art.
141
00:08:34,160 --> 00:08:37,539
- Not hers?
- She was actually pretty modest
about the whole...
142
00:08:37,539 --> 00:08:39,815
success thing.
She'd always been quiet.
143
00:08:39,815 --> 00:08:41,539
A little distant.
144
00:08:41,539 --> 00:08:44,160
I don't see much distance
here.
145
00:08:44,160 --> 00:08:46,022
You two were stuck together.
146
00:08:48,574 --> 00:08:49,746
Oh God.
147
00:08:49,746 --> 00:08:51,781
We... um...
148
00:08:51,781 --> 00:08:53,953
had problems,
149
00:08:53,953 --> 00:08:57,884
but I always thought there was
a chance for us, you know.
150
00:09:03,160 --> 00:09:04,988
- Is this your art?
- Yeah.
151
00:09:04,988 --> 00:09:07,574
That's screen print.
152
00:09:07,574 --> 00:09:09,263
It--it's good.
153
00:09:09,263 --> 00:09:11,436
Do they still do it
with the squeegee thing
and the ink
154
00:09:11,436 --> 00:09:12,677
and... messy business.
155
00:09:12,677 --> 00:09:14,505
Yeah, I teach that.
156
00:09:14,505 --> 00:09:17,229
I also teach linocut
and intaglio.
157
00:09:17,229 --> 00:09:20,505
His fingernails are way
too clean for someone
who plays in ink all day.
158
00:09:20,505 --> 00:09:22,091
He scrubbed that right hand raw.
159
00:09:22,091 --> 00:09:24,229
A man with a clean hand is not
a killer, Bateman.
160
00:09:24,229 --> 00:09:26,539
Oh, come on. Sleeping
in his office is not an alibi.
161
00:09:26,539 --> 00:09:28,988
I bet he wiped that bloody mitt
all over that arm rest
162
00:09:28,988 --> 00:09:32,125
and called it a night.
- Leave that to forensics.
163
00:09:32,125 --> 00:09:36,263
All I know is Rick's got
an inferiority complex
164
00:09:36,263 --> 00:09:38,746
about Eve's art career
that he's drowning in booze.
165
00:09:38,746 --> 00:09:40,815
Yeah, I saw how he drank in
your compliment,
166
00:09:40,815 --> 00:09:43,332
but is being less talented than
you ex a motive to kill her?
167
00:09:43,332 --> 00:09:44,815
Seems like a divorce
gone wrong to me.
168
00:09:44,815 --> 00:09:47,470
We need to find everyone
who was at that party.
169
00:09:47,470 --> 00:09:49,884
See what happened
between him and Eve.
170
00:09:53,298 --> 00:09:55,436
Rick was hammered.
171
00:09:55,436 --> 00:09:57,160
I was working refreshments.
172
00:09:57,160 --> 00:10:00,022
He must've drank like a bottle
of wine before the lecture
even started.
173
00:10:00,022 --> 00:10:03,539
Seems to me that Eve
wouldn't stand for that
at a talk she organized.
174
00:10:03,539 --> 00:10:05,539
No. She hauled him
right out of there.
175
00:10:05,539 --> 00:10:07,988
- What time was this?
- Around 5 p.m.
176
00:10:07,988 --> 00:10:10,194
God, I can't believe
this is happening.
177
00:10:10,194 --> 00:10:11,815
Eve was my first real mentor.
178
00:10:11,815 --> 00:10:13,953
How long did you stay
at the party, Melinda?
179
00:10:13,953 --> 00:10:17,712
Until Suyin and I taught
Sculpture 120 at 6 p.m.
180
00:10:17,712 --> 00:10:19,884
I'm her studio assistant.
181
00:10:19,884 --> 00:10:21,470
Wait.
182
00:10:22,539 --> 00:10:24,470
What are you asking me?
183
00:10:25,470 --> 00:10:26,988
We just want to know
if you saw anything.
184
00:10:26,988 --> 00:10:29,125
Honestly, nothing.
You should talk to Jasper.
185
00:10:29,125 --> 00:10:31,574
When Eve took Rick upstairs,
he went with them.
186
00:10:33,056 --> 00:10:34,574
Rick was a mess.
187
00:10:34,574 --> 00:10:36,539
I threw him in his office.
188
00:10:36,539 --> 00:10:39,194
He was passed out
before he even hit the couch.
189
00:10:39,194 --> 00:10:41,608
The man's a drunk.
It's not the first time
he's passed out at school.
190
00:10:41,608 --> 00:10:43,919
So a couple of glasses of
scotch, maybe a bottle of wine,
191
00:10:43,919 --> 00:10:45,470
and he's what, comatose?
192
00:10:45,470 --> 00:10:47,091
Is that surprising?
193
00:10:47,091 --> 00:10:49,091
It's featherweight
for an alcoholic.
194
00:10:49,091 --> 00:10:51,091
Okay, so maybe he had more.
195
00:10:51,091 --> 00:10:53,815
All I know is he was
embarrassing the hell out of
Eve. I had to...
196
00:10:53,815 --> 00:10:55,298
help her get him
out of there.
197
00:10:55,298 --> 00:10:56,850
She couldn't handle
her own husband?
198
00:10:57,608 --> 00:10:58,988
Ex-husband.
199
00:11:00,884 --> 00:11:03,884
And no. No, he was making
a huge scene.
200
00:11:03,884 --> 00:11:06,263
It's a sticky thing
to get in the middle of.
201
00:11:06,263 --> 00:11:08,125
Yeah, well he started it.
202
00:11:09,712 --> 00:11:13,091
He was harassing us about
how Lee would only ever
represent people like Eve.
203
00:11:13,091 --> 00:11:15,125
He's so jealous of her.
204
00:11:15,988 --> 00:11:18,056
I swear, if Rick did this,
I'll...
205
00:11:19,470 --> 00:11:22,022
Kill him for killing
your girlfriend?
206
00:11:23,401 --> 00:11:24,953
Who told you about us?
207
00:11:24,953 --> 00:11:26,298
You did. Just now.
208
00:11:26,298 --> 00:11:27,988
You know that Rick thought
209
00:11:27,988 --> 00:11:29,608
that there still might be
a chance for them.
210
00:11:29,608 --> 00:11:31,608
Did he tell you that?
Did Eve?
211
00:11:31,608 --> 00:11:32,988
- No.
- You sure?
212
00:11:32,988 --> 00:11:35,470
Because if Rick was asleep
like you said he was,
213
00:11:35,470 --> 00:11:36,677
and you're left alone
with Eve...
214
00:11:36,677 --> 00:11:39,160
I would never hurt her.
Ever.
215
00:11:39,160 --> 00:11:41,539
I was trying to convince her
to come back down to the party,
216
00:11:41,539 --> 00:11:43,953
and she wouldn't. So I left.
217
00:11:43,953 --> 00:11:45,056
Where did you go?
218
00:11:46,677 --> 00:11:49,056
So Jasper has no alibi.
219
00:11:49,056 --> 00:11:53,746
Well, we're checking cameras
in the area
to verify his stress stroll.
220
00:11:53,746 --> 00:11:56,712
We do have alibis on the
students and on the lecture
guests,
221
00:11:56,712 --> 00:12:00,022
including Lee Sloane who
drove out of a paid lot
at 5:15,
222
00:12:00,022 --> 00:12:02,574
before Suyin heard the argument
at 5:30.
223
00:12:02,574 --> 00:12:04,505
So, it's between the boyfriend
and the husband.
224
00:12:04,505 --> 00:12:06,160
What do we have
on Sleeping Beauty?
225
00:12:06,160 --> 00:12:08,850
Well, Rick is an alcoholic.
Lots of insecurities.
226
00:12:08,850 --> 00:12:10,746
No domestic charges.
227
00:12:10,746 --> 00:12:13,539
But he was being helped
upstairs by his wife's
younger boyfriend.
228
00:12:13,539 --> 00:12:16,091
Well, that could turn into a
crime of passion real fast.
229
00:12:16,091 --> 00:12:18,022
And what about Jasper?
- No record.
230
00:12:18,022 --> 00:12:20,436
Not even a parking ticket.
- Then my money is on Rick.
231
00:12:20,436 --> 00:12:22,988
We're betting now? Last chance
to place wagers
232
00:12:22,988 --> 00:12:24,988
before I blow your minds
with these epic traffic stills.
233
00:12:24,988 --> 00:12:26,643
No takers?
234
00:12:26,643 --> 00:12:28,815
No, they still owe me
from last week.
235
00:12:30,539 --> 00:12:35,332
Well, there we have
the fair Jasper walking past
a security camera at 5:20 p.m.,
236
00:12:35,332 --> 00:12:38,884
so lover boy is cleared.
And look at this,
237
00:12:38,884 --> 00:12:43,643
Rick's car leaving the area
at 1 a.m., way past 7.
238
00:12:43,643 --> 00:12:44,988
What did I tell you?
239
00:12:44,988 --> 00:12:46,919
My money's on the husband.
240
00:12:47,712 --> 00:12:49,056
Then let's find him.
241
00:12:49,056 --> 00:12:53,125
Now, if you came to Sloane
gallery, I think I could do a...
242
00:12:53,125 --> 00:12:55,022
Oh, excuse me for a minute.
243
00:12:55,850 --> 00:12:56,815
Rick!
244
00:12:57,781 --> 00:12:59,815
I've been calling you.
Are you okay?
245
00:13:00,781 --> 00:13:02,229
Hey.
246
00:13:03,953 --> 00:13:05,539
Are you okay?
247
00:13:05,539 --> 00:13:08,056
Everything is just...
such a blur, you know.
248
00:13:08,056 --> 00:13:10,470
I just don't feel right.
249
00:13:11,746 --> 00:13:13,505
It's not...
250
00:13:15,022 --> 00:13:17,470
It's not just the hangover,
it's just...
251
00:13:17,470 --> 00:13:19,263
I can't remember anything.
252
00:13:19,263 --> 00:13:21,263
Anything at all?
253
00:13:23,850 --> 00:13:28,125
Hmm... When was the last time
you saw me?
254
00:13:28,125 --> 00:13:31,781
Uh, you... went upstairs,
with Eve.
255
00:13:31,781 --> 00:13:34,539
You honestly
don't remember anything?
256
00:13:35,988 --> 00:13:39,953
No. I saw her in the office,
and...
257
00:13:39,953 --> 00:13:42,091
she was on the floor.
258
00:13:42,091 --> 00:13:45,574
But it was dark and... I mean...
259
00:13:45,574 --> 00:13:50,401
I saw her in the office
this morning with the police.
260
00:13:50,401 --> 00:13:52,677
I don't know.
261
00:13:52,677 --> 00:13:55,022
I just can't keep my head
clear, you know.
262
00:13:55,022 --> 00:13:57,160
What don't you...
263
00:13:57,160 --> 00:13:58,781
go upstairs to my office,
264
00:13:58,781 --> 00:14:01,332
and I'll be right there. Okay?
265
00:14:07,781 --> 00:14:10,160
Hello? Yes, I...
266
00:14:10,160 --> 00:14:12,229
I need the police.
267
00:14:12,229 --> 00:14:13,608
No, right away.
268
00:14:13,608 --> 00:14:15,988
So, first you said you were
sleeping,
269
00:14:15,988 --> 00:14:18,298
and now you think
you were drugged? Which is it?
270
00:14:18,298 --> 00:14:19,712
On behalf of Mr. Kinwood,
271
00:14:19,712 --> 00:14:22,470
I would like to thank you
for facilitating his drug test.
272
00:14:22,470 --> 00:14:26,229
But you should also know that
he's here against my advice.
273
00:14:26,229 --> 00:14:28,574
I told you.
I don't remember anything.
274
00:14:28,574 --> 00:14:32,332
Let me jug your memory.
You said you left school
at 7 p.m.,
275
00:14:32,332 --> 00:14:35,953
yet... there is your car,
276
00:14:35,953 --> 00:14:37,988
leaving the area at 1 a.m.
277
00:14:37,988 --> 00:14:41,505
My client has already said he
has no memory of these events.
278
00:14:41,505 --> 00:14:43,850
Well, that's a good thing
you left a trail, then.
279
00:14:43,850 --> 00:14:46,401
We got his DNA off a cup
in his office,
280
00:14:46,401 --> 00:14:49,677
it matches the DNA we found
on Eve's couch.
281
00:14:49,677 --> 00:14:52,332
Rick's epithelial cells
and...
282
00:14:52,332 --> 00:14:53,953
Eve's blood.
283
00:14:53,953 --> 00:14:56,884
I've been in that office,
what, a thousand times?
284
00:14:56,884 --> 00:14:59,298
- Did you ever
kill anyone in it?
- Detective!
285
00:14:59,298 --> 00:15:02,022
Your client was ten feet away
at the time of the murder.
286
00:15:02,022 --> 00:15:04,988
He told Lee Sloane
he saw the body last night.
287
00:15:04,988 --> 00:15:06,988
I think I would like to go, now.
288
00:15:06,988 --> 00:15:08,953
We get it, Rick.
289
00:15:08,953 --> 00:15:11,539
You know, you had too much
to drink last night...
290
00:15:11,539 --> 00:15:14,574
Thank you. You can't recall.
291
00:15:14,574 --> 00:15:17,539
It happens to the best of us.
292
00:15:17,539 --> 00:15:20,056
Okay, I'm not perfect.
But neither was Eve.
293
00:15:20,056 --> 00:15:22,160
But Eve didn't let
anyone see that.
294
00:15:24,298 --> 00:15:25,677
No one...
295
00:15:26,712 --> 00:15:28,643
got to know the real Eve.
296
00:15:28,643 --> 00:15:31,194
You know, she would just
drop people,
297
00:15:31,194 --> 00:15:34,643
for no reason.
She did that to me.
298
00:15:36,608 --> 00:15:40,229
She did it to her friends,
she did it to her assistant
Melinda.
299
00:15:41,470 --> 00:15:44,505
You know, sometimes I wish
that her work could talk.
300
00:15:45,815 --> 00:15:48,850
Because I think that's the only
place she put her real self.
301
00:15:50,160 --> 00:15:53,505
And then yesterday,
when we were walking, she said,
302
00:15:53,505 --> 00:15:56,505
"A career in art is not all
it's cracked up to be," so...
303
00:16:00,194 --> 00:16:01,919
I don't know.
304
00:16:03,712 --> 00:16:07,539
Don't ask me questions
about who she is
or what she wanted because...
305
00:16:10,056 --> 00:16:12,367
I don't know who she was.
306
00:16:12,367 --> 00:16:14,160
Can I have the report, please?
307
00:16:16,746 --> 00:16:19,470
Seems my client had an enormous
amount
308
00:16:19,470 --> 00:16:22,160
of the sedative Zolpidem
in his system.
309
00:16:22,160 --> 00:16:24,677
No wonder he can't remember.
310
00:16:24,677 --> 00:16:28,056
So, thank you for the hard seat
311
00:16:28,056 --> 00:16:30,332
and the stagnant air,
but we're leaving now. Come on.
312
00:16:30,332 --> 00:16:32,436
How do you know
he didn't dose himself?
313
00:16:32,436 --> 00:16:33,953
Prove it.
314
00:16:44,367 --> 00:16:46,091
What do we have on Rick?
315
00:16:46,091 --> 00:16:49,436
Lab report doesn't lie.
Rick had a lot of Zolpidem
in his system,
316
00:16:49,436 --> 00:16:51,884
and Jasper, who also has
no reason to lie,
317
00:16:51,884 --> 00:16:53,884
said he saw Rick out cold
at 5 p.m.
318
00:16:53,884 --> 00:16:56,367
And Zolpidem lasts what,
eight hours?
319
00:16:56,367 --> 00:16:59,953
That's 1 a.m.
And what's Rick doing at 1 a.m.?
320
00:16:59,953 --> 00:17:02,470
He's driving around in his car.
Hopefully awake.
321
00:17:02,470 --> 00:17:05,746
Maybe he's running scared
because he just killed Eve.
322
00:17:05,746 --> 00:17:07,505
Or somebody set him up.
323
00:17:07,505 --> 00:17:09,298
Now, forensics just came back
on the knife.
324
00:17:09,298 --> 00:17:12,160
It's not just a knife. It's a
tool used for intaglio printing.
325
00:17:12,160 --> 00:17:13,746
Didn't Rick say he teaches that?
326
00:17:13,746 --> 00:17:16,263
Yes, but something other than
blood was found on the handle.
327
00:17:19,401 --> 00:17:21,781
- Yeah...
- So, it could be
an art project?
328
00:17:21,781 --> 00:17:25,850
Maybe, but it's also
the moisture-wicking agent
used in powdered latex gloves,
329
00:17:25,850 --> 00:17:28,712
which we don't use
at crime scenes,
and neither do the techs.
330
00:17:28,712 --> 00:17:31,643
And you think our killer
wore powdered latex gloves?
331
00:17:31,643 --> 00:17:34,539
Still could've been Rick.
- It could've been anyone.
332
00:17:34,539 --> 00:17:37,401
Everything we have on Rick is
circumstantial.
333
00:17:37,401 --> 00:17:38,988
It's true.
334
00:17:38,988 --> 00:17:41,746
But I'm not saying Rick
didn't do it. Let's keep
him on the boil,
335
00:17:41,746 --> 00:17:43,608
but he is an easy target.
- Exactly.
336
00:17:43,608 --> 00:17:45,539
Exactly.
Everyone knows his flaws.
337
00:17:45,539 --> 00:17:47,919
If somebody wanted to frame him,
then nobody would bat an eye.
338
00:17:47,919 --> 00:17:50,436
But we haven't looked
at everything yet.
339
00:17:50,436 --> 00:17:53,643
Including the most important
thing. Eve.
340
00:17:53,643 --> 00:17:56,229
We know the beloved professor.
341
00:17:56,229 --> 00:17:57,884
Everyone did.
342
00:17:57,884 --> 00:18:00,298
But Eve the painter
seems to be a mystery.
343
00:18:00,298 --> 00:18:02,712
That Eve was closed off,
worked alone.
344
00:18:02,712 --> 00:18:04,884
I think if we find the real Eve,
345
00:18:04,884 --> 00:18:06,988
then we may well find
the real killer.
346
00:18:07,988 --> 00:18:10,298
Who is the real Eve?
347
00:18:16,160 --> 00:18:18,850
This is Eve. In living colour.
348
00:18:18,850 --> 00:18:22,539
Interesting brush stokes.
Very gestural.
349
00:18:22,539 --> 00:18:26,608
Impulsive, yet somehow...
also restrained.
350
00:18:26,608 --> 00:18:28,436
Apt description.
351
00:18:28,436 --> 00:18:31,539
What you're seeing here is
a woman in transition.
352
00:18:31,539 --> 00:18:32,988
Breaking out.
353
00:18:32,988 --> 00:18:36,229
Of course, she made these
around the time
she separated from Rick.
354
00:18:36,229 --> 00:18:39,125
And these won her the Paletto
award three months ago?
355
00:18:39,125 --> 00:18:40,919
No. Those came later.
356
00:18:40,919 --> 00:18:43,574
But number 15 is
one of the award winners.
357
00:18:44,988 --> 00:18:47,125
Whoa. Her style is evolving.
358
00:18:47,125 --> 00:18:49,643
It's gaining momentum. Energy.
359
00:18:49,643 --> 00:18:51,953
That burgundy is almost...
primal.
360
00:18:51,953 --> 00:18:54,056
Hmm, you got a great eye,
Detective.
361
00:18:54,056 --> 00:18:56,850
Yeah, these pieces are
from a time
362
00:18:56,850 --> 00:18:59,091
I like to call
the Eve-olution.
363
00:18:59,091 --> 00:19:02,194
Her rebirth.
Her expansion.
364
00:19:02,194 --> 00:19:04,332
She found a new gear.
365
00:19:04,332 --> 00:19:06,091
I just can't believe
that she's gone.
366
00:19:06,091 --> 00:19:08,505
You worked together
a long time.
367
00:19:08,505 --> 00:19:11,160
- Fifteen years, yeah.
- Wow.
368
00:19:11,160 --> 00:19:13,850
I met her when I closed
my first gallery.
369
00:19:13,850 --> 00:19:15,884
I'd moved to a smaller space,
370
00:19:15,884 --> 00:19:18,263
and she had just finished
her master's.
371
00:19:18,263 --> 00:19:23,022
A talent, but she wasn't here
yet. So, we grew together.
372
00:19:23,022 --> 00:19:25,505
No kidding.
This place is beautiful.
373
00:19:25,505 --> 00:19:27,056
Oh, thank you.
374
00:19:27,056 --> 00:19:28,953
Yeah, I really needed
to expand.
375
00:19:28,953 --> 00:19:31,332
I've got a lot
of new clients recently, so...
376
00:19:31,332 --> 00:19:34,194
Everyone wants you to get them
to Paletto-level success.
377
00:19:34,194 --> 00:19:36,919
Oh, well, that's not up
to me, it's up to them.
378
00:19:38,298 --> 00:19:41,746
Which is why you only
represent people like Eve.
379
00:19:44,988 --> 00:19:47,919
We heard that Rick thought
you may have a bias.
380
00:19:47,919 --> 00:19:50,643
To people who are talented
and hardworking? Yes, of course.
381
00:19:52,125 --> 00:19:54,436
Don't get me started on Rick.
382
00:19:54,436 --> 00:19:57,401
I used to represent him,
and his...
383
00:19:57,401 --> 00:19:59,470
work was in decline.
384
00:19:59,470 --> 00:20:03,022
And to be honest, I don't know
if he was really that good
in the first place.
385
00:20:03,022 --> 00:20:07,091
But I can't help but think that
if I had just taken him back,
that maybe Eve would still...
386
00:20:12,781 --> 00:20:14,850
Anyways. I...
387
00:20:14,850 --> 00:20:17,919
have to put that out of my mind
388
00:20:17,919 --> 00:20:20,401
and get back to working
on Eve's exhibition.
389
00:20:20,401 --> 00:20:22,712
The opening is Friday,
if you'd like to come.
390
00:20:22,712 --> 00:20:24,298
[cellphone ringing]
391
00:20:24,298 --> 00:20:26,263
Oh, excuse me,
I have to take this.
392
00:20:31,919 --> 00:20:34,332
"Behind the pedestrian
world of appearances,
393
00:20:34,332 --> 00:20:36,988
there is a realm
of formal perfection."
394
00:20:36,988 --> 00:20:39,643
Sounds like the opening credits
of Days of Our Lives.
395
00:20:39,643 --> 00:20:42,470
I think it's Plato-adjacent.
396
00:20:42,470 --> 00:20:44,712
There's engine grease
on this painting.
397
00:20:51,091 --> 00:20:52,815
Are you the gallery assistant?
398
00:20:52,815 --> 00:20:54,781
Uh, yes. Callie.
399
00:20:54,781 --> 00:20:57,056
Detective Graff, Bateman.
400
00:20:57,056 --> 00:20:59,884
Do you write those statements
for the shows?
401
00:20:59,884 --> 00:21:02,953
Me? Sometimes, but not Eve's.
402
00:21:02,953 --> 00:21:06,056
She was very specific
about what she wanted it to say.
403
00:21:06,056 --> 00:21:08,436
She even got these printed
herself.
404
00:21:08,436 --> 00:21:10,401
I'd like to see her studio.
405
00:21:10,401 --> 00:21:13,160
Oh, we don't know where it is.
406
00:21:13,160 --> 00:21:15,988
She was very secretive.
407
00:21:19,160 --> 00:21:21,815
I don't know
where Eve's studio is.
408
00:21:21,815 --> 00:21:23,298
I don't think anyone does.
409
00:21:23,298 --> 00:21:24,436
Not even Lee?
410
00:21:24,436 --> 00:21:26,022
Definitely not Lee.
411
00:21:26,022 --> 00:21:27,539
You don't think
that's strange?
412
00:21:27,539 --> 00:21:30,229
No. Eve wanted to be alone.
413
00:21:30,229 --> 00:21:33,125
Away from the chatter,
from the school...
- From Rick?
414
00:21:33,125 --> 00:21:34,746
From everyone.
415
00:21:35,953 --> 00:21:37,884
Before she and Rick broke up,
416
00:21:37,884 --> 00:21:40,643
Eve was having
a really hard time, you know.
417
00:21:40,643 --> 00:21:43,160
She said she couldn't make
anything good. She needed...
418
00:21:43,160 --> 00:21:44,850
A room of her own.
419
00:21:44,850 --> 00:21:46,298
Yeah.
420
00:21:46,298 --> 00:21:48,056
Wherever that was, it worked.
421
00:21:48,056 --> 00:21:50,263
She made all those intense
paintings in a year,
422
00:21:50,263 --> 00:21:52,608
won the Paletto...
- She was inspired.
423
00:21:54,367 --> 00:21:57,298
Jasper, why do you think Eve
became a painter to begin with?
424
00:21:57,298 --> 00:21:59,712
She always was.
425
00:22:01,229 --> 00:22:05,125
She told me once that as a kid
she would break into this old
body shop
426
00:22:05,125 --> 00:22:07,470
and make crazy paintings
on car parts.
427
00:22:07,470 --> 00:22:09,401
Like in a garage?
428
00:22:09,401 --> 00:22:11,850
Yeah. I guess so.
429
00:22:13,712 --> 00:22:16,505
I know exactly
where that studio is.
430
00:22:16,505 --> 00:22:18,988
[ominous music]
431
00:22:27,263 --> 00:22:30,056
I thought the key in
her office was weird.
432
00:22:30,056 --> 00:22:32,125
Jimmie's garage.
433
00:22:32,125 --> 00:22:33,850
A room of her own.
434
00:22:34,746 --> 00:22:36,850
A gateway to the Eve-olution.
435
00:22:36,850 --> 00:22:39,022
You know, Sushi's no good
for an opening.
436
00:22:39,022 --> 00:22:41,091
The idea that it's out
for so long...
437
00:22:41,091 --> 00:22:43,746
So, passed hors d'oeuvres?
Crudité?
438
00:22:43,746 --> 00:22:46,505
Chopped up vegetables?
Don't be cheap.
439
00:22:46,505 --> 00:22:48,712
I need to speak with Lee.
440
00:22:48,712 --> 00:22:50,574
In private.
441
00:22:50,574 --> 00:22:53,436
I... Find out what MOCA did
for their last event.
442
00:22:54,263 --> 00:22:55,884
Melinda, hey.
443
00:22:55,884 --> 00:22:58,229
I know I said that you should
come by any time,
444
00:22:58,229 --> 00:23:01,367
but I'd appreciate
if you call first.
- Really?
445
00:23:01,367 --> 00:23:03,091
This is Eve's work.
446
00:23:03,091 --> 00:23:05,608
Where did you find these?
- You want them?
447
00:23:05,608 --> 00:23:07,643
Of course I do. Anyone would.
448
00:23:07,643 --> 00:23:11,505
And... Eve wouldn't want her
work rotting away in...
449
00:23:11,505 --> 00:23:13,746
what is this place?
450
00:23:16,367 --> 00:23:18,712
Just give me the address
and I'll send a truck.
451
00:23:18,712 --> 00:23:20,608
I'll take care of it.
452
00:23:20,608 --> 00:23:22,712
The one isn't quite finished,
453
00:23:22,712 --> 00:23:25,574
but a dead artist's work
is worth something, right?
454
00:23:28,332 --> 00:23:30,194
How much do you want for them?
455
00:23:30,194 --> 00:23:31,815
Yeah.
456
00:23:41,884 --> 00:23:43,988
Oh, seems like the place,
doesn't it?
457
00:23:43,988 --> 00:23:46,229
What gave it away?
458
00:23:46,229 --> 00:23:49,677
Maybe the grease we found
on the painting at the gallery.
459
00:23:57,229 --> 00:23:58,884
This doesn't add up.
460
00:23:59,953 --> 00:24:01,919
Let me guess, the...
461
00:24:01,919 --> 00:24:05,194
brush stokes are
a little too far apart
462
00:24:05,194 --> 00:24:09,332
to have been painted by a woman
who works with her ex-husband
but has a devoted young lover...
463
00:24:09,332 --> 00:24:11,263
You jest,
but you're not wrong.
464
00:24:11,263 --> 00:24:13,470
Eve didn't paint these...
465
00:24:15,229 --> 00:24:17,677
because this one's still wet.
466
00:24:19,332 --> 00:24:21,746
So unless she's back
from the dead,
467
00:24:21,746 --> 00:24:23,470
Eve's a fraud.
468
00:24:23,470 --> 00:24:25,815
[ominous music intensifies]
469
00:24:32,850 --> 00:24:35,091
We found these paintings
and documentation
470
00:24:35,091 --> 00:24:37,091
of a group show that Eve was
in three years ago.
471
00:24:37,091 --> 00:24:39,298
Jasper said
she was in a slump, but...
472
00:24:39,298 --> 00:24:43,436
These paintings are nothing
like the works we found
in that garage Eve was renting.
473
00:24:43,436 --> 00:24:45,746
How does this get us
any closer to a suspect?
474
00:24:45,746 --> 00:24:48,539
Well, the real artist killed
Eve because they were tired
of doing all the work
475
00:24:48,539 --> 00:24:50,608
while she got all the credit.
- That's a powerful motive.
476
00:24:50,608 --> 00:24:54,022
I guess we'd better
find out who was actually
holding that brush.
477
00:24:54,022 --> 00:24:55,850
I've been going
through the phone.
478
00:24:55,850 --> 00:24:59,091
Haven't been able to find any
conversations with anyone
about the garage or her work.
479
00:24:59,091 --> 00:25:02,539
But I did find
one very suspicious thing
in her camera roll.
480
00:25:02,539 --> 00:25:05,505
Turns out she made a video
the night before she died.
481
00:25:11,677 --> 00:25:14,263
Never would've made you
for a junkie.
482
00:25:15,125 --> 00:25:17,056
You don't know me.
483
00:25:26,125 --> 00:25:29,815
Why would Eve made a video
of herself buying heroin?
484
00:25:29,815 --> 00:25:32,298
I mean, Da Silva said that
her blood screen was clean
485
00:25:32,298 --> 00:25:34,091
and there was no history
of drug use.
486
00:25:34,091 --> 00:25:35,953
Was the buying it
for someone else?
487
00:25:35,953 --> 00:25:37,850
Was it a payment
for making her work?
488
00:25:37,850 --> 00:25:39,884
Maybe, but it couldn't be just
anybody. I mean...
489
00:25:39,884 --> 00:25:42,056
if the real painter is
the killer,
490
00:25:42,056 --> 00:25:44,712
they'd have to be able
to get in and out of that school
without being noticed.
491
00:25:44,712 --> 00:25:46,539
So is the killer a student?
492
00:25:46,539 --> 00:25:49,505
Hungry for success,
willing to do anything
for a mentor like Eve,
493
00:25:49,505 --> 00:25:51,263
including
making her art for her?
494
00:25:51,263 --> 00:25:53,505
And who do we know, according
to Rick, who was mentored by Eve
495
00:25:53,505 --> 00:25:55,608
and then dropped for no reason?
- Melinda.
496
00:25:55,608 --> 00:25:58,160
She makes a bunch of paintings,
gets turfed,
497
00:25:58,160 --> 00:26:00,436
Eve's career takes off, Melinda
decides to take her out...
498
00:26:00,436 --> 00:26:02,263
And sets up Rick.
499
00:26:02,263 --> 00:26:04,263
She was manning
that refreshment stand...
500
00:26:04,263 --> 00:26:07,263
Maybe she gave him
more than wine.
501
00:26:08,574 --> 00:26:10,712
I didn't drug Rick.
502
00:26:10,712 --> 00:26:14,781
I didn't lie about liking Eve.
I... used to like her a lot.
503
00:26:14,781 --> 00:26:16,988
Before she got rid of me
for no reason.
504
00:26:16,988 --> 00:26:19,367
Well, that's not what
the registrar said.
505
00:26:19,367 --> 00:26:21,160
There was a reason.
You were redundant.
506
00:26:21,160 --> 00:26:22,539
That's gotta hurt.
507
00:26:22,539 --> 00:26:24,884
When was the last time
you were at Eve's studio?
508
00:26:24,884 --> 00:26:27,263
The day she fired me.
Maybe a year ago?
509
00:26:27,263 --> 00:26:30,712
Yet the paint on the sole of
your shoes is the same color
510
00:26:30,712 --> 00:26:33,401
as accents in Eve's latest work.
511
00:26:33,401 --> 00:26:36,436
We saw it at the garage.
- And so did you.
512
00:26:36,436 --> 00:26:39,367
But I don't think Melinda
here painted those works.
513
00:26:40,574 --> 00:26:44,194
Hers are nothing like Eve's.
Energy's all wrong.
514
00:26:44,194 --> 00:26:46,160
Yeah, thanks for the critique,
but--
515
00:26:46,160 --> 00:26:48,643
So why did you go
to the garage this week?
516
00:26:49,574 --> 00:26:52,263
I... I wanted
some of my stuff back.
517
00:26:52,263 --> 00:26:55,160
What? She's gone.
518
00:26:55,160 --> 00:26:56,332
It's mine.
519
00:26:56,332 --> 00:26:59,332
And... I used to use that space
as a studio too,
520
00:26:59,332 --> 00:27:01,919
before she... had her revival,
521
00:27:01,919 --> 00:27:05,160
decided she didn't need me
anymore and fired me.
522
00:27:06,332 --> 00:27:08,643
Wouldn't even let me back in
to get any of my brushes.
523
00:27:08,643 --> 00:27:11,091
So you lost a job,
a mentor
524
00:27:11,091 --> 00:27:13,229
and a place to work
all on the same day.
525
00:27:13,229 --> 00:27:14,401
[sighs]
526
00:27:14,401 --> 00:27:16,470
I don't know
how much brushes are,
527
00:27:16,470 --> 00:27:19,298
but I feel that getting
those back
528
00:27:19,298 --> 00:27:22,781
really doesn't compensate
for your hardship.
529
00:27:24,401 --> 00:27:27,436
You went there to see
if Eve had any of her work
lying around, didn't you?
530
00:27:27,436 --> 00:27:31,022
Because you know that
Lee Sloane doesn't know
where the studio is.
531
00:27:33,815 --> 00:27:36,367
Okay. Fine, yes.
532
00:27:37,332 --> 00:27:39,746
But I only showed her
a photo of them.
533
00:27:39,746 --> 00:27:42,505
And when I went back
to get them, they were gone.
534
00:27:43,712 --> 00:27:46,539
I haven't told her yet. And...
Look. I didn't take them.
535
00:27:46,539 --> 00:27:48,194
Yeah, we know.
536
00:27:48,194 --> 00:27:51,160
Around the time
that she fired you, was she
hanging around anyone new?
537
00:27:51,160 --> 00:27:52,781
Unusual? Different?
538
00:27:52,781 --> 00:27:55,263
- What, like a bunch of artists?
- Sure.
539
00:27:56,539 --> 00:27:58,919
Yeah. She, um...
540
00:27:59,643 --> 00:28:02,194
did a couple of forums, panels.
541
00:28:02,194 --> 00:28:04,125
She taught art therapy classes.
542
00:28:04,125 --> 00:28:05,850
Where?
543
00:28:08,988 --> 00:28:11,160
This is where we held
the class that Eve taught.
544
00:28:11,160 --> 00:28:13,194
She was big on unconventional
art spaces.
545
00:28:13,194 --> 00:28:15,263
So we've heard.
546
00:28:15,263 --> 00:28:17,608
She was one of the best
art consultants we had.
547
00:28:17,608 --> 00:28:19,436
Worked seamlessly
with the therapist.
548
00:28:19,436 --> 00:28:21,677
We're really grateful
we got her in here
before her career took off.
549
00:28:21,677 --> 00:28:24,022
Do you recall who was
in the classes Eve taught?
550
00:28:24,022 --> 00:28:26,884
- I can't divulge their names.
- But this is their work.
551
00:28:26,884 --> 00:28:29,229
This is work
from all the sessions,
552
00:28:29,229 --> 00:28:31,712
but these pieces are from
when Eve was here.
553
00:28:32,574 --> 00:28:34,677
Eve hung her own work?
554
00:28:34,677 --> 00:28:36,643
No. That's definitely
by one of our clients.
555
00:28:36,643 --> 00:28:39,298
We can't afford a real Eve.
- Of course not.
556
00:28:39,298 --> 00:28:42,298
Maybe this person, Nikki,
is the real Eve.
557
00:28:42,298 --> 00:28:43,919
Excuse me?
558
00:28:45,022 --> 00:28:48,401
It may well be that
Eve co-opted Nikki's work.
559
00:28:48,401 --> 00:28:51,436
And if so, she may be involved
in Eve's murder.
560
00:28:51,436 --> 00:28:53,608
Nikki? No.
561
00:28:53,608 --> 00:28:55,298
What happened
during these sessions?
562
00:28:56,505 --> 00:28:58,988
You know I can't talk
about that. And you're wrong.
563
00:28:58,988 --> 00:29:02,815
Nikki loved Eve.
She was a positive influence
on her recovery.
564
00:29:02,815 --> 00:29:06,332
Still I'd like to talk to her
myself.
565
00:29:06,332 --> 00:29:08,298
Do you have her last name?
566
00:29:08,298 --> 00:29:11,298
Sure. It's spelled:
get a warrant.
567
00:29:20,712 --> 00:29:22,263
[knocking]
568
00:29:22,263 --> 00:29:23,919
Nikki?
569
00:29:26,401 --> 00:29:27,677
[knocking]
570
00:29:27,677 --> 00:29:29,746
Nikki, are you here?
571
00:29:31,298 --> 00:29:33,229
[knocking]
572
00:29:33,229 --> 00:29:34,781
Nikki?
573
00:29:35,712 --> 00:29:36,988
Nikki?
574
00:29:39,781 --> 00:29:41,677
Hi.
575
00:29:42,815 --> 00:29:45,091
I thought you didn't want
to be in contact anymore?
576
00:29:45,091 --> 00:29:47,781
I was just really worried
about you.
577
00:29:57,953 --> 00:30:02,505
You... owe my assistant.
Getting a production order
for psychiatric records
578
00:30:02,505 --> 00:30:03,781
is nearly impossible.
579
00:30:05,194 --> 00:30:06,919
But he caught Judge Parker
on a good day.
580
00:30:06,919 --> 00:30:08,746
Thank you, counselor.
581
00:30:10,505 --> 00:30:13,125
Behold Nikki Trettini.
582
00:30:13,125 --> 00:30:15,160
Eve's favourite student.
583
00:30:15,160 --> 00:30:18,298
She was treated for opioid
addiction over a year ago.
584
00:30:18,298 --> 00:30:21,056
According to her case worker,
she's been clean ever since.
585
00:30:21,056 --> 00:30:23,884
Eve helped Nikki
get off the street.
586
00:30:23,884 --> 00:30:26,539
Got her clean, got her an
apartment, paid her expenses.
587
00:30:26,539 --> 00:30:29,091
And in exchange,
Nikki made her art.
588
00:30:30,539 --> 00:30:34,367
Says here Nikki was hopeful
she was gonna make
her own work soon.
589
00:30:34,367 --> 00:30:36,022
Have an art career.
590
00:30:36,022 --> 00:30:38,160
Now that could be a statement...
or a threat.
591
00:30:38,160 --> 00:30:42,091
Except I just ran her into
the database, no drug charges,
no history of violence.
592
00:30:42,091 --> 00:30:45,953
Well, maybe someone's
never stolen her whole life's
work before.
593
00:30:46,712 --> 00:30:48,988
I'll get a warrant.
594
00:30:56,643 --> 00:30:59,056
Eve was killed
on September 18th, right?
595
00:30:59,056 --> 00:31:02,298
Says here Nikki met
with her case worker
on September 18th at 4 p.m.,
596
00:31:02,298 --> 00:31:04,401
was in a group therapy session
from 5 to 7.
597
00:31:05,850 --> 00:31:07,505
Nikki Trettini?
598
00:31:09,781 --> 00:31:11,263
Nikki?
599
00:31:11,263 --> 00:31:14,022
[suspenseful music]
Nikki!
600
00:31:15,022 --> 00:31:16,608
Clear!
601
00:31:18,022 --> 00:31:19,470
Clear.
602
00:31:20,125 --> 00:31:22,125
[sighs]
- She's gone.
603
00:31:24,539 --> 00:31:26,919
Must've relapsed.
604
00:31:36,608 --> 00:31:38,229
What's this?
605
00:31:45,125 --> 00:31:47,746
Maybe she didn't overdose.
606
00:31:47,746 --> 00:31:50,298
Looks like
she hid this in a hurry.
607
00:31:52,332 --> 00:31:54,263
[Bateman sighs]
608
00:32:01,712 --> 00:32:03,884
Her case worker wasn't wrong.
609
00:32:03,884 --> 00:32:06,194
Ms. Trettini has been clean
for about a year.
610
00:32:06,194 --> 00:32:08,815
So it's possible this wasn't
an accidental overdose?
611
00:32:08,815 --> 00:32:12,229
I doubt it. She had a bad mix
of drugs in her system.
612
00:32:12,229 --> 00:32:14,884
Sadly, if someone takes
a sedative and opioid,
613
00:32:14,884 --> 00:32:17,125
their airway can collapse
and they asphyxiate.
614
00:32:17,125 --> 00:32:19,401
It's kinda like sleep apnea
on steroids.
615
00:32:19,401 --> 00:32:20,919
Wait. Nikki was sedated?
616
00:32:20,919 --> 00:32:23,643
Her plasma tox showed a high
concentration of Zolpidem.
617
00:32:24,781 --> 00:32:26,229
You're thinking
what I'm thinking?
618
00:32:26,229 --> 00:32:27,436
Couldn't be clearer.
619
00:32:29,022 --> 00:32:30,608
Lee Sloane?
620
00:32:30,608 --> 00:32:34,574
Yes. She has a vested interest
in keeping Nikki
from making her own art.
621
00:32:34,574 --> 00:32:36,470
She knows Rick well enough
to frame him.
622
00:32:36,470 --> 00:32:39,298
And she happened to be
at school the day
that Eve was killed.
623
00:32:39,298 --> 00:32:42,298
Nikki hid this
before she OD'd.
624
00:32:42,298 --> 00:32:44,436
Our thinking is
that Lee showed up,
625
00:32:44,436 --> 00:32:47,022
Nikki panicked and hung this
on the wall to conceal it.
626
00:32:47,022 --> 00:32:48,436
Nikki lets Lee in.
627
00:32:48,436 --> 00:32:51,022
Lee handed her a latte
laced with Zolpidem,
628
00:32:51,022 --> 00:32:53,539
pumped her full of heroin,
made it look like an OD.
629
00:32:53,539 --> 00:32:55,539
I've never liked art dealers.
630
00:32:55,539 --> 00:32:57,574
And I don't like
half-baked theories.
631
00:32:57,574 --> 00:32:59,056
Can't take them to court.
632
00:32:59,056 --> 00:33:00,815
We know the Zolpidem link is
tenuous.
633
00:33:00,815 --> 00:33:02,367
More than tenuous.
634
00:33:02,367 --> 00:33:05,298
You can't prove Lee Sloane
gave sleeping pills
to either of them.
635
00:33:05,298 --> 00:33:08,436
People take that stuff of their
own volition all the time.
636
00:33:08,436 --> 00:33:10,367
Neither Rick nor Nikki
had a prescription for it.
637
00:33:10,367 --> 00:33:12,850
Bet Nikki didn't have a
prescription for heroin either.
638
00:33:12,850 --> 00:33:15,815
Forget about the drugs.
We need proof of murder.
639
00:33:15,815 --> 00:33:17,746
What about Lee's alibi?
640
00:33:17,746 --> 00:33:21,056
So, Mark took another look
into the parking stub
Lee's assistant sent us.
641
00:33:21,056 --> 00:33:23,470
The credit card used
was a company card,
642
00:33:23,470 --> 00:33:25,953
but the pin wasn't Lee's,
it was Callie's.
643
00:33:25,953 --> 00:33:27,470
Lee's assistant.
644
00:33:27,470 --> 00:33:30,367
Callie drove that car off the
lot to give Lee an alibi.
645
00:33:30,953 --> 00:33:33,091
Okay. That, I can use.
646
00:33:33,091 --> 00:33:34,953
But why kill Eve, though?
647
00:33:34,953 --> 00:33:37,919
I mean, Eve is your star,
Eve is your money maker.
648
00:33:37,919 --> 00:33:40,781
Okay, I can see Lee finding out
that Eve was faking it
649
00:33:40,781 --> 00:33:43,056
and then killing Nikki
to protect Eve's secret...
650
00:33:43,056 --> 00:33:45,229
But that secret
hadn't come out yet.
651
00:33:45,229 --> 00:33:48,056
Even if it had, why not just
throw them both under the bus?
652
00:33:48,056 --> 00:33:50,298
Lee could say she was a victim
to their lies too.
653
00:33:50,298 --> 00:33:51,884
No murder necessary.
654
00:33:51,884 --> 00:33:54,091
But Lee was complicit.
655
00:33:54,091 --> 00:33:57,436
Lee was definitely aware of
Nikki and Eve's arrangement.
656
00:33:57,436 --> 00:33:59,470
I've been going through
Nikki's phone.
657
00:33:59,470 --> 00:34:01,677
So first,
I found this weird video.
658
00:34:04,091 --> 00:34:06,815
Nikki in Eve's office
with her Paletto award?
659
00:34:06,815 --> 00:34:09,919
Then, after Eve's murder,
a whole text exchange
660
00:34:09,919 --> 00:34:12,436
between Lee and Nikki
about the paintings.
661
00:34:12,436 --> 00:34:14,436
So Lee wants to know
where the paintings are.
662
00:34:14,436 --> 00:34:17,470
Nikki responds with, "I'm
broken. I can't work on them."
663
00:34:17,470 --> 00:34:19,712
Lee: "You know those ones are
worth the most.
664
00:34:19,712 --> 00:34:21,574
Please, do it for Eve."
665
00:34:21,574 --> 00:34:24,712
Nikki: "Fine; Pick them up
on Friday. Usual spot."
666
00:34:24,712 --> 00:34:26,988
Knowing, of course,
667
00:34:26,988 --> 00:34:29,884
that Lee doesn't know
where that usual spot is.
668
00:34:29,884 --> 00:34:32,194
- Eve's studio.
- Power move.
669
00:34:32,194 --> 00:34:35,574
So when Melinda offers
to deliver the pieces,
670
00:34:35,574 --> 00:34:38,367
Lee decides that
she no longer needs Nikki.
671
00:34:38,367 --> 00:34:40,988
And so she kills Nikki to
tie up the final loose thread.
672
00:34:40,988 --> 00:34:43,919
Which makes Lee's last message
to Nikki so significant.
673
00:34:45,263 --> 00:34:47,850
"Nikki, we owe it to the world
to share Eve's incredible work
674
00:34:47,850 --> 00:34:50,919
because behind the pedestrian
world of appearances
675
00:34:50,919 --> 00:34:53,298
is a realm
of formal perfection."
676
00:34:53,298 --> 00:34:56,194
Now, where have we heard that
before? And don't say
Days of Our Lives.
677
00:34:56,194 --> 00:34:58,160
The artist statement.
678
00:34:58,160 --> 00:35:03,884
Now, Callie told us
that Eve wrote and printed this
statement herself, but...
679
00:35:03,884 --> 00:35:07,263
Eve didn't write it. Lee did.
680
00:35:07,263 --> 00:35:10,263
This isn't
what Eve intended to say.
681
00:35:10,263 --> 00:35:12,608
So let's find
the real statement.
682
00:35:12,608 --> 00:35:15,332
I'm sorry, this was the
earliest I could get these
loaners here.
683
00:35:15,332 --> 00:35:17,677
Eve's collectors were very
reluctant to part with them.
684
00:35:17,677 --> 00:35:20,781
Uh... what happened to the work
that was supposed to come
from her studio?
685
00:35:20,781 --> 00:35:23,505
Well, Melinda said that
she'd help me find them,
but she flaked.
686
00:35:25,091 --> 00:35:27,022
Stay on him while I greet.
687
00:35:27,022 --> 00:35:29,263
Kit, hi.
688
00:35:29,263 --> 00:35:31,470
Oh, it's so good to see you.
689
00:35:31,470 --> 00:35:34,160
I wish it were
under better circumstances.
690
00:35:34,160 --> 00:35:36,505
Me too. Me too.
691
00:35:36,505 --> 00:35:38,988
But Eve's work lives on, right?
692
00:35:38,988 --> 00:35:42,229
Speaking of, there is a piece
that I earmarked just for you.
693
00:35:42,229 --> 00:35:45,539
Don't you think this would look
great in your place
in Prince Edward County?
694
00:35:46,746 --> 00:35:49,332
[Bateman]: It's hard to believe
Eve painted that.
695
00:35:49,332 --> 00:35:51,677
She means it's so... perfect.
696
00:35:51,677 --> 00:35:54,539
Like a Platonic form,
but in this world.
697
00:35:54,539 --> 00:35:56,332
Is that what I mean?
698
00:35:56,332 --> 00:35:58,022
That was quite eloquent.
699
00:35:58,022 --> 00:36:00,298
Oh, I can't take credit
for it.
700
00:36:00,298 --> 00:36:05,574
My interpretation is definitely
influenced by Eve's words.
701
00:36:06,884 --> 00:36:08,367
If you'll excuse me a minute.
702
00:36:08,367 --> 00:36:10,608
Of course. I...
703
00:36:14,160 --> 00:36:16,091
Hey there, Callie.
704
00:36:16,091 --> 00:36:18,263
Detective Bateman. Hi.
705
00:36:18,263 --> 00:36:21,953
1998. It's your birth year, right?
706
00:36:21,953 --> 00:36:24,815
It's also the pin
to your company card.
707
00:36:26,505 --> 00:36:29,884
Lee wasn't with you in her car
when you drove it out of the
lot the day Eve died.
708
00:36:29,884 --> 00:36:33,160
Yeah, Lee said she'd been
drinking. Couldn't drive.
709
00:36:33,160 --> 00:36:35,160
What are you suggesting?
710
00:36:35,160 --> 00:36:37,125
You're an accessory to murder.
711
00:36:37,125 --> 00:36:39,746
Unless you tell me
exactly what happened.
712
00:36:42,677 --> 00:36:47,194
Oh, and this is one
of my favorite pieces by Eve.
713
00:36:47,194 --> 00:36:49,091
It's so emotional.
714
00:36:49,091 --> 00:36:52,436
It's beautiful.
Very melancholy.
715
00:36:53,988 --> 00:36:56,988
Is there something
that you would like to say,
Detective Graff?
716
00:36:56,988 --> 00:36:59,781
Actually, there is,
if you don't mind.
717
00:36:59,781 --> 00:37:01,781
It'll only take a minute.
718
00:37:03,815 --> 00:37:06,263
Excuse me. One moment, please.
719
00:37:12,056 --> 00:37:15,574
"I waited a long time
to tell my community
720
00:37:15,574 --> 00:37:18,091
about something
I have hidden."
- What are you doing?
721
00:37:19,539 --> 00:37:22,608
I'm reading
from Eve's real statement.
722
00:37:22,608 --> 00:37:26,574
There is a lot in here
I doubt you want people to hear.
723
00:37:26,574 --> 00:37:29,401
How about we go somewhere
a little more private?
724
00:37:33,298 --> 00:37:35,574
- None of this is true.
- I think it is.
725
00:37:35,574 --> 00:37:38,919
It clearly states that you knew
Eve wasn't producing
her own work
726
00:37:38,919 --> 00:37:41,229
when you nominated her
for that Paletto award.
727
00:37:41,229 --> 00:37:42,919
I did not know that.
728
00:37:42,919 --> 00:37:45,953
And you also knew she had
a change of heart after she won.
729
00:37:45,953 --> 00:37:49,608
The guilt of profiting
from another artist
was driving her crazy.
730
00:37:49,608 --> 00:37:52,022
Eve didn't want to exploit Nikki
anymore,
731
00:37:52,022 --> 00:37:55,470
but you pressured her
to continue this charade
so you could profit.
732
00:37:55,470 --> 00:37:57,953
Eve makes way more money
than I do from her paintings.
733
00:37:57,953 --> 00:38:00,608
And Nikki made nothing
from them.
734
00:38:00,608 --> 00:38:03,194
Eve knew you'd never let her out
of this lie,
735
00:38:03,194 --> 00:38:05,608
so she and Nikki hatched a plan.
736
00:38:05,608 --> 00:38:08,505
They were going
to distribute this statement
on opening night,
737
00:38:08,505 --> 00:38:11,367
come clean, give Nikki
the credit she was due,
738
00:38:11,367 --> 00:38:14,056
and take you down
in the process.
- Okay.
739
00:38:14,056 --> 00:38:17,815
And you got all that
from this little piece of paper?
740
00:38:17,815 --> 00:38:19,401
Oh, I did, yeah.
741
00:38:19,401 --> 00:38:21,919
And I know
you've read it too.
742
00:38:21,919 --> 00:38:24,781
You see, I think Callie told you
743
00:38:24,781 --> 00:38:28,332
that Eve was printing
her own statement herself.
744
00:38:29,401 --> 00:38:31,022
You were curious, you know,
745
00:38:31,022 --> 00:38:34,884
busy woman taking
on admin tasks, that's strange.
746
00:38:34,884 --> 00:38:37,953
So you went down
to the print shop
a week before Eve died,
747
00:38:37,953 --> 00:38:40,677
and you... you had a look
at the proof of the statement.
748
00:38:40,677 --> 00:38:44,194
You read it and you realized
that if the truth came out,
749
00:38:44,194 --> 00:38:47,781
you'd lose everything:
your reputation,
your revamped career.
750
00:38:47,781 --> 00:38:51,712
All you'd be left with
is this big brand new gallery,
751
00:38:51,712 --> 00:38:54,263
a ton of debt,
752
00:38:54,263 --> 00:38:58,160
and no clients to fleece
to help you pay it back.
753
00:38:58,160 --> 00:39:00,884
So, you killed Eve
754
00:39:00,884 --> 00:39:03,401
to prevent all that
from coming to life.
755
00:39:03,401 --> 00:39:08,298
You came up with a new statement
full of...
756
00:39:08,298 --> 00:39:11,470
pseudo-philosophical drivel,
757
00:39:11,470 --> 00:39:15,125
and then you killed Nikki
to keep your fraud a secret.
758
00:39:15,125 --> 00:39:17,988
Everyone knows
Rick killed Eve.
759
00:39:19,091 --> 00:39:21,919
Now, that's the story
you wanted people to see.
760
00:39:21,919 --> 00:39:24,988
Because you're what,
a curator, a gallerist.
761
00:39:24,988 --> 00:39:29,229
You...
[clattering]
...take all these pieces,
762
00:39:29,229 --> 00:39:31,677
and you put them together.
763
00:39:31,677 --> 00:39:34,505
I do that too in my job.
764
00:39:34,505 --> 00:39:38,367
See, you knew everyone
knew about Rick's drinking,
765
00:39:38,367 --> 00:39:42,194
about how he'd often pass out
in his office.
766
00:39:42,194 --> 00:39:47,160
You knew how adept he was
at failing to produce work.
767
00:39:47,160 --> 00:39:51,229
And you knew about
his explosive volatility.
768
00:39:51,229 --> 00:39:55,815
So all you had to do was light
the fuse by crushing his dreams.
769
00:39:55,815 --> 00:39:59,056
So you spike his red wine
with sleeping pills
770
00:39:59,056 --> 00:40:01,746
and meanwhile your assistant
moves your car
771
00:40:01,746 --> 00:40:04,574
so it looks like,
ladies and gentlemen,
Lee has left the building.
772
00:40:04,574 --> 00:40:09,332
But really, you haven't.
And then, with everyone
downstairs enjoying themselves,
773
00:40:09,332 --> 00:40:13,712
you kill Eve, and then
drag Rick into her office.
774
00:40:13,712 --> 00:40:16,298
Voila. Perfect frame job.
775
00:40:17,091 --> 00:40:19,056
Okay. I've had enough.
776
00:40:19,056 --> 00:40:21,608
Wait. Not exactly perfect.
777
00:40:21,608 --> 00:40:26,574
You see, these gloves,
they're not great for moving
artwork or committing murder.
778
00:40:26,574 --> 00:40:29,091
They leave a residue
behind.
779
00:40:29,091 --> 00:40:33,815
On frames, and on the handle
of the weapon
we found at the scene.
780
00:40:33,815 --> 00:40:36,608
The knife you used to kill Eve.
781
00:40:36,608 --> 00:40:39,608
Eve was my friend, okay?
782
00:40:39,608 --> 00:40:42,953
My client of 15 years.
I didn't kill her. I loved her.
783
00:40:42,953 --> 00:40:47,056
Whatever you're trying to do
or say here is disgusting,
and it is so upsetting.
784
00:40:47,056 --> 00:40:51,125
No, what's upsetting is that
according to the autopsy,
785
00:40:51,125 --> 00:40:54,712
you stabbed her here first.
Her brain stem.
786
00:40:54,712 --> 00:40:58,056
It controls her movement,
her breathing, her ability
to speak.
787
00:40:58,056 --> 00:41:02,229
You wanted it so that she wasn't
able to run or cry for help.
788
00:41:02,229 --> 00:41:04,194
This was no crime of passion,
789
00:41:04,194 --> 00:41:07,194
this was a calculated
premeditated murder.
790
00:41:09,367 --> 00:41:12,643
Well, if I'm not being
charged with something,
791
00:41:12,643 --> 00:41:14,470
I think I'm free to go.
792
00:41:14,470 --> 00:41:16,505
Oh, yeah, yeah,
no, you can go.
793
00:41:16,505 --> 00:41:20,781
And you'll probably just catch
the end of my partner's
presentation of Eve's statement,
794
00:41:20,781 --> 00:41:23,988
exposing what a charlatan
you actually are.
795
00:41:25,056 --> 00:41:27,125
I bet it's already trending.
796
00:41:27,125 --> 00:41:30,263
Because it's not just words.
It's...
797
00:41:30,263 --> 00:41:34,298
Eve and Nikki,
they made a little art film.
798
00:41:34,298 --> 00:41:37,125
It's actually quite
an eloquent piece.
799
00:41:37,125 --> 00:41:40,436
But you've never seen it,
you couldn't have.
800
00:41:40,436 --> 00:41:44,815
Eve only added a QR code
to the statement
the night before she died.
801
00:41:44,815 --> 00:41:48,608
It links to the film with
Eve posing as a heroin addict,
802
00:41:48,608 --> 00:41:52,953
and Nikki playing the role
of a Paletto-award-winning
professor.
803
00:41:52,953 --> 00:41:55,263
Yeah, that's quite
the commentary.
804
00:41:55,263 --> 00:41:58,746
It was just their statement
on the irony of raw talent
805
00:41:58,746 --> 00:42:01,229
being subsumed
by middle-class greed,
806
00:42:01,229 --> 00:42:04,401
ambition,
and fear of irrelevance.
807
00:42:04,401 --> 00:42:06,574
Sound familiar?
808
00:42:07,884 --> 00:42:09,367
No.
809
00:42:09,367 --> 00:42:12,229
You can't ruin my reputation.
You can't.
810
00:42:12,229 --> 00:42:15,091
You don't have a reputation
without Nikki and Eve.
811
00:42:15,091 --> 00:42:18,056
Neither one of them would have
careers if it wasn't for me.
812
00:42:18,056 --> 00:42:19,263
Me!
813
00:42:19,263 --> 00:42:22,574
I was saving her reputation.
814
00:42:22,574 --> 00:42:26,574
And it doesn't matter that
Eve's dead. Art lives forever.
815
00:42:27,919 --> 00:42:31,091
So if she goes around
telling everyone
that she didn't make it,
816
00:42:31,091 --> 00:42:34,815
she destroys her legacy.
Forever. Do you understand?
817
00:42:34,815 --> 00:42:36,436
Forever.
818
00:42:36,436 --> 00:42:39,125
I like that word. "Forever."
819
00:42:39,953 --> 00:42:42,194
I'm sure that soon enough,
820
00:42:42,194 --> 00:42:45,125
you'll find out
what it really means.
821
00:42:58,712 --> 00:43:02,332
Is there a saying
about success being wasted
on the talentless?
822
00:43:02,332 --> 00:43:05,160
If there isn't,
I think you just coined it.
823
00:43:05,160 --> 00:43:06,953
I'll take credit for it.
824
00:43:08,091 --> 00:43:09,850
Speaking of,
825
00:43:09,850 --> 00:43:12,367
I hope Nikki gets
the recognition she deserves.
826
00:43:12,367 --> 00:43:13,850
Me too.
827
00:43:13,850 --> 00:43:16,367
I just wish she was around
to appreciate it.
828
00:43:25,125 --> 00:43:27,677
[theme music]
829
00:43:27,677 --> 00:43:30,056
Subtitling: difuze
