The-- There were events that, uh, began at,
um...
After the cyclone where Floyd and I met,
about a week after the cyclone, would--
Floyd and I had, uh, bonded.
Uh, he threw a cornhole celebration.
You know where the Jamba Juice is on Center Street?
Uh, yeah, yeah, yeah.
Yeah, that's, uh... It's right near the station.
That's right near my office.
It's right behind the Jamba Juice,
Purina Corporate.
- Cool. - Yeah. Um...
You know, that-- that's my Jamba Juice, too.
Central.
Okay. Well, wow, me too.
Uh, I'm in there all the time.
Like, uh, the...
The Go Getter is my energy lift, you know?
It used to be coffee, but I was drinking,
like, way, you know-- it was like,
"Hang on here, what?"
You know?
- Yeah. - Nice.
Yeah, Go Getter. It's me too. Wow. Okay.
-Is that right? - Yeah.
It's the healthiest one, more or less. Don't you think?
Floyd gets the PB Chocolate Love.
Oh! PB Chocolate Love.
- That's nice. - Yeah. I mean,
it's pretty much a milkshake.
Uh, what about the girls? What do they like to do?
Oh, well, let's see. Lately, they're into, uh, crafting.
- Hmm. -Um, dance.
Ooh, dance. You guys have a dance school?
No, we just-- we just started looking, actually.
Dance with Miss Ashley Dance Academy on Campbell.
-Yeah, that's a good one, huh? - Good? No, it's great.
We signed Richard up there for the-- He, you know,
he has some things.
He doesn't like sports...
-Oh, okay. - ...so we've had to
- try some other things. -Yeah.
Hey, hey! Hey, Richard!
Show Eimy some of your dance moves.
I don't have any dance moves.
Yeah, that's right.
Okay, right answer.
Awesome.
Does he-- He hasn't learned anything yet?
- Or he's just being bad, or-- - No, that's what I'm saying.
We bought, like, a three-month dance pack, and then he didn't even go.
- Like, not even once. -Oh.
But I didn't want it to be a thing where
he felt like he had disappointed us
because we paid all that money, so I went.
- Oh. -I'm a... I sign.
-Oh. - I do the big stage
at the 314 Fest every summer.
The big, like, R&B, hip-hop stage.
And, you know, they just want me
to sign the lyrics, but I-- I wanted
to give the deaf audience, like, a richer experience.
-Oh. - So I wanted to link the lyrics
to, like, a rhythm and groove.
And I got, you know, really into it.
-Wow. - And then I renewed the pack.
- Oh, f-- for you? - Fuck yeah.
Wow.
So, you do the weather?
Yeah, I do. Yeah, yeah.
Clark Forrest. My favorite, actually.
Total favorite.
Thank you so much.
- That's, uh-- - Total favorite local weather.
Channel 10.
That's very, uh, um...
I, uh...
You know, I do-- It's not the only...
I have a... I have a deep-sea demolition company
off the coast of Canada...
- Wow. Wow. - ...that I founded.
And I... And I still...
I go...
I oversee and I engineer, uh, the-- the-- the big demo.
Um...
So, yeah, I, uh...
I do that. Um...
- I... - What?
I'm the...
They call me, uh,
the Bang Master, actually.
Hmm.
Or Big Bang, sometimes. Uh...
So, anyway, I'm up there. I'm doing that.
I'm overseeing, you know, really the whole, you know,
fucking company. Everything dangerous.
So I, you know, I do that in addition to,
uh, the weather.
You know, I gotta mix it up a little bit.
- Wow. -Yeah.
Okay.
Bang Master.

Beginner hip-hop, five minutes.
What class are you in?
- Uh, intermediate hip-hop. -All right.
Yeah, it's a good workout.
You know, I'm trying to lose a few.
Well, it's good for the heart rate.
It's good for my curve, too.
- For your what? - Uh, Peyronie's.
- Oh, yeah. - Yeah.
Usually caused by trauma. Blunt trauma.
Mine was.
What-- What ha--
What happened?
Do you mind me asking?
No, I'll tell you.
Um...
I went on this job interview in Chicago.
I had an interview to maybe start equity trading.
Carol's idea. It was a good idea.
You look great.
I was selling printer toner,
which nobody was really buying anymore.
Okay.
The Chicago job would have been
pretty good money, like a big deal for the family.
So, I headed downtown for this thing.
She made me get there really early.
So I'd be early.
And so, I'm there crossing LaSalle, busy street,
sun's coming up, and I witnessed this thing.
This kid is in the middle of, like,
- five lanes, six lanes. I don't know. - Hey, hey, hey! Yeah!
Walking back and forth. He has mental health issues.
And there he is.
Like, that's where he wants to be, like, in that danger.
Whiz, man.
Like, cars just, like, flying right next to him. Whiz!
Like, he's almost getting killed,
but he keeps smiling and, like, spinning around,
almost dying the whole time.
You-- So, what, like...?
So, I... I go get him.
And I get him.
And I get him into a firm embrace.
And then we, like, Frogger back over to safety.
We made it. We made it.
And then, uh, what happened?
Did you get hit in the penis by a car?
No, no. I got on the news.
I'm here with Floyd Smernitch, who just hours ago
risked his life to save a troubled young man
from real danger on LaSalle this morning.
Floyd, do you consider yourself a hero?
You-- Uh, I... No, I don't think that's...
Uh, I don't think that's important.
I think-- I think what's important...
- So, I bolt across this busy downtown street... - Yeah.
...'cause I'm late, and Carol really wants to get this job.
Yeah. But tell me what happened with the, um--
Okay, beginner hip-hop.
-Oh, that happened later. -Yeah?
Yeah. Hey! Hey, first day?
-Yeah. - Yeah. Are you excited?
All right, cool.
Well, I want you to have a good time
and, you know, dance your best.
But remember, you don't have to dance better
- than anybody else... - That's right.
...because it's not a sport. It's a form of expression.
And here we go!
And feel it.
Yes! Looking great!
- All right! - Hey, Clark, can I get a jump?
- Uh, yes. - A jump?
Whoo! All right. Looking good!
Yeah, sorry, man.
Yeah, this car is, uh, 14 years young,
but I guess that means she's old.
- Hey, sweetheart. - Hey.
Uh, yeah, it's dead. Way.
So, I'm gonna have to get it towed.
I gotta wait till my next paycheck, I guess.
- Okay. -I'm just gonna go
and tell, uh, Miss Ashley
that we're gonna abandon the car here, for a little bit.
Okay.
Tried to get her going again with my jumpers.
You could probably just touch it with your hand.
It would probably just start right up.
She's cool with it!
Okay.
-She's cool with it. - CAROL LOVE-SMERNITCH: Okay.
- Later, man! -Later, man.
Oh, hey. Thank you.
One-car household.
I mean, even if I wasn't taking the R&B dance class,
we still wouldn't have enough for another good car,
just so you know.
I don't want you to blame it on the R&B dance lessons.
Okay.
- It's weird. - What?
Taking the bus.
You're not taking the bus. I'm taking the bus.
You're taking the one car
because I work on the street, the bus goes down,
and you work in weird, faraway places.
I don't even know why you're
still sitting here at the bus stop.
You have to take Richard to school.
I wanted to say that it's weird that you're taking the bus
while I'm taking the car.
I wanted to say that before I got in the car.
- Okay, thank you. - Okay.
- I love you. - I love you too.
Okay.
I love you. - What?
I love you.
Okay, I can't hear--
I can't hear you over our one car.
What are you saying?
- I love you. - I love you too.
- Okay, bye, see ya. -See ya.
Fuck.
Come on, come on.
Oh, nice. Okay.
- All right, see you. - Bye.
Okay.
Hi.
Go Getter?
Yeah. My every day. Go Getter.
For sure, yeah.
Same.
Usually take a midday break, get the energy up.
I hear ya.
What is "bunting"?
For the batter?
The-- It says "bunting" in this little book
that they gave me,
but it's like I should already know what bunting is.
-Okay. - I don't know what it is.
-Yeah, it's-- - Bunting.
Yeah...
- I'm gonna explain it to you. - Oh.
Whenever I ask Floyd anything about ump stuff,
he's like-- he acts like I'm not even talking.
Mm-hmm. Have you--
Have you always been in love with umpiring?
I've never been in love with umpiring,
even now when I'm doing it.
But it's 85 a game,
and it's right behind the house, so...
Hmm, you're blowing up.
It's a demo call.
Uh, that's for demolition.
Sorry. Uh, the-- the guys, they're...
They got a big job today. They're...
They get nervous and kind of puss out.
And they got to call someone who's,
you know, done it a bunch of times, you know?
They pussy out.
What's that?
They pussy out and they call you?
So, I don't know anything about ump stuff.
Maybe I should go to like a Cardinals game, yeah?
But that's pricey.
And I probably don't even understand what's going on
in a Cardinals game.
You know, uh, we get group tickets.
- Yeah? - Yeah, at WTGK.
Um, we get-- we get 'em in block, and...
maybe you could join one of those?
Yeah, I mean, that would-- I would like to join, yeah.
Like when?
There's, um, a schedule of games.
That information is on here.
Like, look. Thursday?
Can you do it Thursday?
And then I could maybe join that block?
- Let me check my work schedule. - Oh, come on.
Don't pussy out.
Why is he walking out to the pitcher?
Uh, to talk to the pitcher.
Here you go. Just pass that one down there.
- About what? - Uh, probably about pitching.
- Oh. - You know?
I know. I'm just having fun. Nope, that's yours.
Snag it.
That's the light beer. Snag it.
Snag that one?
Yeah. It's yours.
Snag it.
Is there a limit to how many timeouts they can get?
Uh, not-- No. I don't think so. The--
Baseball is one of those games that, uh, doesn't have a clock.
Interesting.
- Yeah. - Interesting.
Cheers.
Do you wanna pass this one?
Ah, yeah.
Here you go, one more.
You should come to Strohmeyer on Saturday
and see my game.
Watch my big league moves.
- Oh, yeah? - Mm-hmm.
It'd be great to see Floyd.
Oh, well, he's actually not gonna be there
'cause he's gonna be downstate at his mom's.
- Oh, yeah? - Yeah.
- At Saturday? - 2:00 p.m.
Hmm.
I bike ride, uh, at Strohmeyer.
In the afternoons,
uh, on Saturdays, so...
- Cool. - Yeah.
'Cause that's when I'll be there. So...
Saturday in the afternoon.
And, uh, Floyd will be downstate.
Play ball!

At the Quality Garden Suites?
It's gonna be a long week till then.
Listen.
Can I tell you something?
You can do anything with me.
You never have to have any fears about sharing anything with me.
At the Quality Garden Suites, or wherever we are.
I want your dreams.
You want my dreams?
At the Quality Garden Suites?
Give me your dreams.
Tell me.
I would like...
I would like for you
to sit on my face.
Um...
Yeah?
And just go about your business.
You know, do tasks on your phone.
Just...
Just while you sit on my face.
Yeah, it's 9-7-9-2,

That'll be the second attempt at delivery.
Uh-huh.
Okay, well, it says here.
-Hold. -What?
FedEx put me on hold,
and it's their fault.
So you would, uh--
You would meet more regularly at the Quality Garden Suites?
Hmm?
Yeah. Our dream meetings, yeah.
What's a dream meeting?
Well, that's, uh, when we'd just meet
and, um, make each other's dream come true.
Sexually.
Make all our dreams come true.
At the Quality Garden Suites.
Yeah.
Mm. That's the one in the suburbs, right?
Yeah.
And that's where your dreams came true?
-Yeah. - Yeah.
Like?
Like what?
Like, what's one of your dreams?
Um...
Like...
weight.
Weight placement.
Weight placement?
Like someone...
places their weight on you...
on your...
on you.
Oh.
So good.
So, when are you going to have Smernitch's computer stuff?
- Hour, hour and a half. - Oh. Okay,
Um...
Forrest is in custody.
- Yeah, nice arrest. - What's that?
It was a nice arrest.
Okay.
Substantive evidence.
He's at the scene. We've got motive.
And now that he's in holding, uh, we'll get more.
That's usually how it, like, goes down, you know?
Okay.
No one jacks off to magazines in modern society.
Well, this guy did. I'm gonna interview Forrest.
And I want you to interview the wife. Please.
See, you want to interview both subjects
of a problematic affair at the same time
so they don't have time to get their story straight,
if they're gonna tell you a story.
Yes, I knew that.
I can interview him. You can interview her.
You interview her, I'll interview him.
- I'd like to interview him. - I'd like you to interview her.
- Why? - She's not a suspect. I'm lead.
You are to understand that. He's under arrest.
I just-- I need her version of it
so I'll know when he's lying. Now, go interview her,
please, Twyla.
Did Floyd Smernitch have a life insurance policy?
No way, Jose.
- Mrs. Smernitch, where-- - Love-Smernitch.
There's a thing. Love-Smernitch.
Mrs. Love-Smernitch.
Where did you first meet Clark Forrest?
Uh, cornhole.
There was a cornhole get-together on our lawn.
That's when you and Clark Forrest
began your relationship?
No, that's when I met Clark Forrest.
And he told me that he owned
and operated or founded, whatever,
a company that did deep sea explosions in Canada.
- Clark Forrest told you this? - Yeah, that's what I just said.
And this wasn't true?
I found out later. No, that was untrue.
JODIE PLUMB None of that was true?
No.
But at the time, did you believe him?
I had no reason to think he was lying.
Can you speak up, please?
And what effect did this have on you
when you were told that
Mr. Forrest oversaw underwater explosions
and that sort of thing?
Yeah, I was interested and curious,
you know, about his explosion work. Yeah.
And what did you talk to Mr. Forrest about?
I talked about my son, and about work,
and, uh, Jamba Juice, and...
and my husband, that's about all.
I mean, I didn't think that the ordinary matters
of my life would be very intriguing,
really, to anybody.
They're samey as anyone else, so...
I don't really talk a lot, so I didn't say very much.
So, is it fair to say that this relationship,
it was instigated by Clark Forrest?
Can you speak up?
He was trying to seduce you, or in that manner?
He was behaving in that manner?
He was behaving in that manner, yes.
Explosions, I mean.
Yeah. Right? Come on.
And when did you see Mr. Forrest next?
Jamba Juice.
So, you were at the same Jamba Juice.
You bump into Mr. Forrest.
- Yeah. - Who was there first?
I remember, um...
I saw Mr. Forrest at the counter
barstool situation, when I entered.
So, he was there.
- Then you came in. - Yes.
And we ordered the same thing.
- The same Jamba Juice. -Mm-hmm.
Jamba Juice makes different combinations
of juices, yeah.
And, uh, Mr. Forrest and I ordered the same one,
which was the Go Getter.
You know, so we had a little laugh about that.
You had a laugh.
Yeah.
So, cornhole, Jamba Juice,
another few encounters,
and then a brief intimacy began.
Yes, and then it ended.
Had you ever discussed leaving your husband?
- Discussed with Clark? - Yes.
- Yes, many times. Many times. - Discussed in what way?
Discussed in the way where I said many times to him
that I had no interest in leaving my husband
and that I would never do that.
That's all.
Thank you.
Okay.
I have a warrant to take the mail
that you received this week into evidence.
- That's again? - That again what?
You're doing that again?
We're doing that each week.
For a duration. All will be returned to you.
Your bills and files are kept where?
-In the hutch. - The hutch?
Yeah, we don't have an office-type situation
in this house, so...
we maintain all the paperwork in a hutch.
Wow.
"Wow"?
Wow with all the questions and stuff and shit, okay?
I'm sorry. Sorry.
- It's okay. - You know, it's just been...
a lot.
Of course.
May I see the hutch?
Sure.
This contains tax matters?
Of your family's?
This box?
That's Floyd's stuff.
I'd like to take this for assessment too, ma'am.
So, she makes your dreams come true, Carol Smernitch.
She makes your dreams come true, Clark.
And then she tells you,
after all that, she's still in love with her husband.
Hmm?
Isn't that what happens to you next?

She tells you that, after all that,
she's still in love with her husband.
I have your texts.
And then...
then you befriend him, the husband.
I mean, really befriend him.
No?
I get that timeline wrong?
Because that's when you two, you and Floyd Smernitch,
that's when...
...that's when you got closer to him.
- That's right. - Yeah, yeah.
So you could gain his trust. Yeah.
Maybe deal with him.
Get rid of him. Get some kind of plan.
I don't know what kind.
But you get some kind of a plan.
So, what is DTF St. Louis?
It's a subscription the victim had.
It's a dating site, hookup site.
- We subpoenaed them. - Hookup?
Yeah. It's like a sexual encounter site.
Uh-huh. So, what's in here?
He was arranging meetings. With men.
Yeah, right Well, Daddy's little secret.
He was really into, uh, Indiana Jones.
I don't know, it was his thing, personal.
He, uh, met with this guy.
Uh, to do it?
I mean, "it" like in fucking?
What? Do they meet to fuck?
- Yeah, it's like a sex site. - Oh.
- Okay. -Yep. For married people
to hook up and like, uh...
Yeah, in private places.
-Around St. Louis? - Around St. Louis, yeah.
He met this guy, but here's the thing.
Weeks later, he meets up with this guy.
- Tiger Tiger. -Yes.
This is Tiger Tiger here?
Yes, it's the profile for this younger guy.
Tiger Tiger says, "Meet me at the Kevin Kline pools."
Oh, wow. That's where he was killed.
- The morning of? -4:00 a.m.
The morning we discovered the body.
Okay, did you, uh, subpoena this profile,
- uh, man, this young guy? - Yes, but he's not a young guy.
He was just posing as a young guy.
Hmm.
It's Clark Forrest.
The weather guy?
Clark Forrest is Tiger Tiger.
You doing okay?
Yeah.
You wanna take a break or something there, Tiger?
Huh? Wanna take five, Tiger?
Why do you keep calling me Tiger?
Because you're Tiger Tiger.
Yeah.
You created this profile.
DTF St. Louis, Tiger Tiger, your IP address.
They have to tell us when they're subpoenaed.
Smernitch...
he liked to meet men on this site.
- You posed as a man. - Floyd didn't like to meet men.
You don't know what you're talking about.
-This is a guy, right? -Yes.
His name is Christopher Robert Spurce.
Lives in Twyla. Small business owner.
And he had a sex date with Floyd Smernitch?
Yes.
Get him in here.
Modern Love?
Yes.
So, you met this Rocksolid for breakfast?
Yeah. Ordinary breakfast.
Ordinary guy. Nice guy.
Did breakfast lead to any, uh, intimacy or sex?
Breakfast led to...
- a little intimacy play and... -Little-- A little what?
A little intimacy play.
What's that?
Uh, well, it could be any number of things,
but in this case, it was just making out in the parking lot.
-Oh, you kissed? - Yeah.
Kissing of what sort?
Oh, like the kind where I put my tongue
in his mouth, kissing.
Hmm.
Uh, was there any additional...? Hmm?
Ass play.
Okay.
Who played with whose ass?
I touched his ass a little bit.
And that led to some brief grinding.
Hey, Forrest.
You wanted this guy gone.
He liked to meet men.
You introduced him to DTF St. Louis.
You're buddies now. He goes on this site.
He goes-- he goes to meet Tiger Tiger.
But that's you, though. Gets dead instead.
Clark.
You get the girl.
That's what happened. Yeah?
Clear as day.
What, you afraid to talk to me now?
- I'm not. -Not what?
- Not Tiger Tiger? - I'm not afraid.
- You're Tiger Tiger. - I'm Tiger Tiger.
Fuck.
But...
But what?
You'll find this app under DTF St. Louis.
And while I'm not going to tell you what DTF stands for,
if you know, then you'll know
that this is targeted towards married couples
who still might want to have a little secret fun
with a new face here in the St. Louis area,
no strings attached.
No strings attached.
All of the excitement, none of the consequences.
September 14th, Carol Love-Smernitch to you.
"I love Floyd so much, right? He's so sweet,
wow, and he needs someone to take care of him.
And that's me. And that's what I want to do."
Okay, the next text on your phone,
you don't respond to her.
You text Floyd soon after, and your text is...
"Hey, man, we're having a get-together Sunday.
Can you guys come?" Floyd, "Cool, we're there."
Hey.
Hey. So, I-- I-- I saw this thing.
A segment while I was getting ready for my broadcast.
Okay.
It was a report about, uh, an app.
Dating-- dating app.
I mean, it's not really a dating app, actually, uh...
DTF St. Louis.
What's DTF?
"Down to fuck."
Down to fuck?
Someone responds to your profile,
you set a meeting, someplace quiet,
then you meet.
I got a hit. First one says "Modern Love."
- Hey, you got a hit, man! - I got a hit.
Nice one. -Yeah.
I think he liked my profile.
He definitely liked your profile.
That's why you got the hit.
- Yeah. And he liked it. - Yeah.
You know, I think I want to meet him.
Put it on the projector.
So...
you posed as Tiger Tiger.
Floyd messages Tiger Tiger
and he makes a plan to meet for sex.
And he brought some dad porn to get his game face on.
Daddy's favorite Indiana Jones jack-off classics.
Then you show instead.
On your nerd bike.
You have a drink together. Bloody Mary found at the scene.
It's got a massive dose of Amphezyne in it.
A pharmaceutical amphetamine.
Twenty minutes later, he's dead.
Hmm.
You were prescribed Amphezyne on November 3rd,
six days before the murder.
That's premeditation.
That's murder one.
And in the state of Missouri, which is the state we're in,
that's the death penalty, buddy.
Hmm?
Oh. Well,
now you're afraid to talk.
Hello? Yes. What?
Is this Floyd Smernitch?
Yeah.
Oh my God, yes. From when he was young.
-Your name? - Jodie Plumb.
Thank you. It'll be right up.
Okay.
Pardon me. Um...
I'm a detective with the Twyla police.
May I ask you a question?
Sure.
Do you recognize this customer?
Yeah.
That's Watermelon Breeze.
And why do you call her "Watermelon Breeze"?
She always gets Watermelon Breeze.
We do that. Tina.
Who's that?
Watermelon Breeze.
Would it be strange for this woman
to order the Go Getter?
- Yeah. - Yeah.
Because she's Watermelon Breeze.
Yeah, she's Watermelon Breeze.
There was that one weird day, though.
So this guy was seeing men on the side,
on this website.
- The victim? -Yeah.
The weatherman poses as a guy.
He lures him to the Kevin Klines.
And this poor guy, he thinks he's going there for sex.
He brings his little, uh, pregame boner fuel,
some, like, classic Indiana Jones porn.
But Forrest shows up with a dosed canned beverage.
- "Dosed canned beverage"? - Amphezyne.
- We got him on the prescription. - Okay.
- That's the whole thing? - That's the whole thing.
Well, if that's the whole thing, that's murder one. Capital.
- Sound about right? - Sounds about right, yeah.
Pretty good day.
Okay.
I mentioned to you this morning,
uh, we get him in holding
and some more of the elements of the case will break.
Uh, that's pretty ordinary, but, yeah.
And so, they did, as I expected.
So... Pretty good day.
Good.
Yeah.
So, Tiger Tiger...
That's our guy, Forrest.
False profile.
He led Smernitch to believe it was a sex hookup on DTF.
And he was ready for sex,
as evidenced by the, uh, Indiana Jones jack-off classics.
But the weatherman shows up instead
with a Bloody Mary and it's got Amphezyne in it.
And, yeah, the weatherman had a prescription for it.
Less than a week before.
It's Palomar.
- What's that? - Palomar?
You never heard that in Twyla?
No.
That's the world's strongest knot.
That's what we call a case like this that's tied up tight.
It's a Palomar.
Floyd Smernitch wasn't jacking it
to those Indiana Jones photos.
'Cause those photos are of Floyd Smernitch.
That's not porn. That's a younger Floyd Smernitch.
It has some other meaning.
- That's him? - Yes.
He...
What?
He brought pictures of himself there?
- The morning he was killed? - Yes.
And...
And what?
And the wife lied to me today.
- Yeah, about? - Their affair.
She's claiming that Forrest seduced her.
Yeah, and?
I think it was the other way around, Homer.
