Memory of a Killer (2026) s01e07 Episode Script

1
Previously
on Memory of a Killer
We're looking at
early onset Alzheimer's disease.
We found fibers.
They don't match
anything Bloch was wearing.
Very expensive Italian wool.
- A button.
- That came from someone
who was in that fight.
I need to stay sharp
and clear-headed.
- Thank you.
- Who loves Maria
so deeply that they would do
something like that? Her father?
Now, what other symptoms
should I be aware of?
Difficulty making decisions.
Angelo was former military.
Anxiety. Frustration.
That kind of skillset
doesn't just go away.
Increased feelings of suspicion.
Angelo Flannery
is not a suspect.
If I don't get what I need,
you'll lose more
than your license.
How long do I
have before you know?
The elephant in
the room on everyone's mind
remains, what
did Robert Parks know?
Parks' mysterious death
has been the subject
of any number of
conspiracy theories.
But would his testimony have
changed anything?
Many of Parks' colleagues say he
was a man of integrity.
In fact, one of his
coworkers told us.
Parks was, quote,
incapable of lying.
Whoever sent you here
lied to you.
Please remember,
Angelo, this is just a study.
Trans-magnetic stimulation
for Alzheimer's
is still an
experimental treatment.
You'll feel a light tapping
sensation as the magnet fires.
Magnetic stimulation works by
stimulating brain cells.
Would this help with specific
memories I need to recall?
The therapeutic effects
can be hard to predict,
but Angelo, a trick
to jog a specific memory
is to put yourself in the place
where the memory was made.
Be as precise as you can,
including the moments
leading up to the memory
you're looking for.
Uh, we're ready to
start the first cycle.
Let me know if you get dizzy.
Okay.
Angelo!
What were you experiencing?
Felt like memories,
but the memory, uh, turned
into another memory.
It was disorienting.
Uh, that wasn't caused
by the treatment.
Have you been sleeping lately?
No.
I think you drifted off there.
The medication has
been known to cause insomnia
and also some very vivid dreams.
The early part of the
treatment can be unsettling.
If you can push
through that stage,
we can get some
meaningful results.
You want to keep going?
Yes.
Whoever sent you here
lied to you.
Ah!
You're alright, Angelo.
If you can just
stay awake, stay seated,
the stimulation can
cause dizziness.
- I'm sorry. I can't do this.
- Please.
- I have to go.
- Oh, no, no.
I got I got
to get out of here.
- Okay.
- I have to stop.
Hey, Dave.
I saw you opened up the
tip line for the Bloch murder.
Anything useful come in?
"Useful" is not exactly
a word that comes to mind.
One guy says
that the Bloch murder
is a hoax perpetrated
by Mayor Kelly.
Sue says she thinks that
she saw Bloch
on a reality TV show last week,
and wait for it,
my personal favorite.
A lady says she's
sure Bloch's killer
is her next-door neighbor's
80-year-old wife.
Oh, boy.
Yes.
Fine. Let them in.
- Dave.
- Jeff.
Dave Uh, sorry. Detective
Woods, this is, um
Jacob Townshend,
investigator. Hey.
Sorry. I know. I know you said
not to hire an investigator,
but he's my uncle, and
before you say anything,
he he found something.
What'd you find?
Well, that is a button.
It's not just a button.
- It's it's evidence.
- It is.
He found it at
the base of that bridge
where Henry Bloch was found.
It must have come
off of the clothing
of the guy that killed him.
You're welcome.
What makes you
so sure about that?
I got a guy who owed me a favor,
so he he ran a few tests.
- A guy?
- Listen. It doesn't matter.
This, this is made
of buffalo horn
with lion's eye backing.
Alright? So
Look. This could not have come
from some hiker's puff jacket.
You understand? We are talking
about a fine garment here,
real upscale. Okay?
This, this is the sort of thing
that could only come from
a $10,000 suit.
I mean, who's wearing
those kind of clothes
in the woods? I
mean, that's weird, right?
It's got to be
a part of the case.
Listen, guys.
What's the problem, Dave?
If you really found a
piece of evidence
connected to a
murder investigation,
you should have brought
it directly to us
instead of having
some guy handle it.
- My uncle.
- Give me a break.
It's evidence, right?
And we have strict protocol
around chain of custody.
Law enforcement
did not find this.
Exactly. Law
enforcement missed it.
That's why you needed a guy
with real experience out there
to come in and do
things the right way.
Why do you think
the kid called me, huh?
Okay. Please, please,
can you just look into it?
It's something. It's something.
It's not admissible
as evidence now.
But yes, I will check it out.
Thank you. Thank you.
You're welcome.
Sorry about that.
What?
That's him.
Who?
It's Earl Hancock,
the man who killed
Maria's mother.
What? He must be checking
in with his parole officer.
No, no.
No, no, no. No, no. Come on.
Come on. Come on.
Testimony from top executives
of the major drug company
continued today without much
fanfare or controversy.
As for Parks' murder,
it has gone unsolved,
and police never ruled
out the possibility
that it could have
been unrelated to his work,
that it could have
been personal.
The Ferryman doesn't
just kill you.
He erases everything
you ever loved
Who paid the Ferryman to
kill my daughter?
And makes sure
you watch it happen.
It it was personal.
Okay, Ferryman. Time
to flush you out.
Hey! Morning.
Need you to do me a favor.
No way, man. If they even saw
me talking with you
I I can't.
You don't
even know what I'm asking.
I need you to put
this tracking device
into the next shipment
that goes to the Ferryman.
That's a lot to ask. I got
eyes on me these days.
All you got to
do is put it in the box,
and I can follow where it goes.
Look. I'm trying to get
out of this line of work.
You know they'll kill me
if they find out.
Well, then make sure they
don't find out.
Do it for me,
and I'll take care of you.
Okay?
Okay.
Got to say,
Lorenzo Fabroni suits
fit me in all the right places.
It's like
instant plastic surgery.
That's the guy who
turned me on to Fabroni.
Pricier than a Kardashian
divorce but worth every penny.
Clothes make the
man. You're welcome.
Maybe one day, you'll
wear them as well as me.
Yeah.
You got a minute
so I can talk to you?
Yeah. Leo, give
us a minute, yeah?
You remember that scientist
about a year, year
and a half ago?
No. Remind me.
He's been in the
news a lot lately.
Take a look at this.
All the reports
say he was a hero.
So?
So, last thing he said to me
was that "Whoever
sent you lied to you."
At first, I just thought
he was going to save his hide.
That's what he was
saying, right?
But now not so sure.
What are you saying, Angelo?
You shouldn't have
killed the guy?
Client was satisfied
and paid in full.
That's called a job well done.
But why did they kill him?
Since when do you care
about the reasons?
We never take a
contract on a civilian.
What I know is that you
don't ask questions.
You don't decide.
I sure as hell don't remember
you asking questions
when you came back
from Iraq a broken man
and I took you in, put
your life back together.
- I was a kid.
- With only one skill,
and I gave you a way to use it.
And now, you got
everything you ever wanted,
your Fabroni suits,
your fancy cars,
your multi-million-dollar
apartment,
but more than that,
I gave you purpose.
So, why now the
sudden lack of trust?
Something about this
doesn't sit right.
Angelo, Angelo!
All these years, you still
don't get it, do you?
Not asking questions is
what protects you.
You don't want to open
this can of worms.
There's an old proverb.
Thoroughbred horses
never look back when they run.
There's a reason for that.
Leo!
Let it go.
Okay. Ciao, Leo.
We got to move this button.
Hey!
What are you doing down there?
Oh, just, um
The foot of the
crib seemed loose.
Seriously? You shouldn't
be doing that.
I can take a look,
see if I can fix it.
It's the least I can do
while you're hard at work
literally making a baby.
Oh. That seems fair.
Yeah. Hey, why aren't you
dressed for yoga?
- Doesn't class start soon?
- I don't know.
I'm just not really
feeling it today.
Oh. Really? You sure?
It's been helpful, hasn't it?
Yeah. I mean, what do you mean?
Nothing. I just I feel
like I don't know
you might be affected by
all this more than you realize.
- Are you talking about therapy?
- No, I'm not.
Like, yoga is your therapy.
You always feel
better after you go.
You're right.
I know.
Henderson, remember when
you said if we found
anything else besides
fibers it could be helpful?
Mm-hmm.
I'm guessing the odds of
this being a match
are small, but
This could absolutely be
from the same garment.
Who found this? When?
It's a long story.
It came today.
You really think this
could be a match?
I can check if there are
any traces of fibers on this
that match the others I found.
Perfect.
This is all pretty
high-end stuff.
You'd think a rich guy like this
wearing these kinds of
fancy threads
The guy would stick out
like a sore thumb in Hudson.
Yeah. That lifestyle
would stand out.
- Thirsty?
- Thank you.
Ooh! I barely made it
through that class.
That was absolute torture.
It really is torture.
Thanks for the water.
No problem.
I don't think I've seen
you before in this class.
Yeah. It was my first time.
I've heard great things
about this place.
Yeah.
Honestly, you crushed it.
I couldn't have made it through
that when I was pregnant.
Yeah. You know, I'm just
trying to deal with the stress
in a more healthy way,
but I mean, he's definitely
making bending into these poses
a bit more difficult.
Believe me, I get it.
You have a name picked out yet?
Well, my husband really likes
Harrison or Roman,
you know, something, like,
uber-masculine.
Mm.
But I'm really partial to Liam.
Yeah. I mean, it's it's my
father's middle name.
Oh. Makes it even more special.
Yeah.
Are you two close?
Yeah, we are.
He's one of the most caring,
genuine people I've ever met.
Wow. Is he single?
Actually, he is.
Oh.
That would be my husband
checking to see if
I want frozen yogurt
when we both know it's
him who really wants it.
Adorable.
Will I see you here next class?
Sure will. Torture
is just getting started.
Yep.
- Can I help you?
- Yeah. I'm here to see Joe.
Who are you?
A friend of Joe's.
Why don't you go get grab
yourself a cappuccino,
come back later?
Einstein's still asleep.
Einstein?
Yeah, Einstein,
because he's a genius.
- Yeah.
- You get it?
Oh, yeah, I get it.
My son is a
35-year-old dishwasher,
still lives at home.
You're his friend?
God knows what that
says about you.
You know what? He's a hard
worker, and he's smart.
Oh, fantastic.
So the kid can scrub dishes?
You know, he's
handled situations
that would break most men.
It's clear he didn't
get that from you.
- And what you got here?
- Hey!
- You up? You down?
- Give me that.
What the hell?
Dutch told me about your
little problem.
Not so smart, gambling
with other's people money.
So, I wouldn't go around
telling people they're stupid,
because from where I stand,
someone who owes Dutch
40 grand is stupid.
Angelo, hey.
Hey, Joe. You ready?
Yeah.
What was that about?
It's nothing. I need your help.
You need to keep this
between me and you.
No one else needs to know.
Thanks for talking to me, Liz.
- Yeah. Totally.
- You mentioned in our tip line
that you saw someone
at the trailhead
on the day of
the murder, the 17th?
Mm-hmm, yeah,
and, uh, this is the weird part.
He was wearing a fancy suit,
power lunch on
Wall Street kind of fancy
but in the middle of the forest.
Mm-hmm. Yeah. You mentioned
that in your post.
Was it this guy?
See?
Um, uh, no.
No, no, no, no. It wasn't him.
Trust me. I'd remember
that beard anywhere.
It's not really my thing.
The guy I saw was, uh
He was, like,
older with graying hair.
He was He was actually
a bit of a zaddy.
A zaddy?
Like, a hot old guy.
After you saw him in the
forest, what happened then?
Uh, right. He walked
straight across the lot
and got into a black Porsche.
- Porsche? You're sure?
- Mm. Positive.
It was a really, really
nice one.
Okay. This is helpful,
very helpful.
- Mm.
- What more can you tell me?
There's been a development
in the Bloch case.
It's not a slam dunk,
but we've had a
witness come forward.
A witness?
They think they might have
seen Bloch's killer that day.
I wanted to ask, do any
of you know someone
who drives a Porsche?
No. I mean, I don't think so.
- Not in this neighborhood, no.
- Uh, what color?
Not sure. Black or
another dark color.
Sorry. We're talking about the
man who killed Bloch?
- That's right.
- So, how does this have
anything to do with
Maria's safety?
It's about motive.
Identifying Bloch's killer
could explain why he
fired at Maria that day.
And this witness is reliable?
The first one we've found.
She gave me a lot to
follow up on.
Until then, I don't have
anything more,
- but I'll keep you guys posted.
- Okay.
- Okay. Thank you.
- Thanks. Okay.
Okay.
Let let me show you out.
Look, Dave. I'm her father.
If there's the slightest
chance she's not safe,
I need to know everything.
I understand. I'll
keep you in the loop.
Thank you.
Porsche? I figured you
for a McLaren guy.
Ah, you know, it's my other car.
You got something?
The button is buffalo horn,
handcrafted, rare.
But the real news is,
I compared the fibers
we found on Bloch's body
with those on the button.
It was a match.
So the button definitely
came from our killer.
And there's more.
I talked to someone
at the company that
makes the button.
It's so unique that
apparently they only sell it
to a few dozen designers,
most of them in Europe,
but they also sell to
three bespoke designers,
all on the east coast,
all located in New York City.
Just three.
That's amazing, Henderson.
Great work.
What do you got?
Yeah. I mean, I did a deep dive,
scoured some dark
corners of the internet,
and you're right.
Something doesn't add up.
Parks isn't a terrorist.
Well, if he was, he has the
cleanest cover I've ever seen,
- like, Mr. Clean clean.
- Mm-hmm.
Angelo, a trick to
jog a specific memory
is to put yourself in the place
where the memory was made.
Angelo, you alright?
What's going on?
You seem worried.
We need to go back.
Go back to what?
The site of the Parks hit.
Someone is coming after me
because of this job.
Uh, well, am I
in any danger or?
I know you're
not going to like this,
but we need to go back.
Right. Yeah. I thought the
cardinal rule was,
we don't return to
the site of the hit or
I mean, I've rebooted the box,
checked the Wi-Fi.
I don't know what
the problem is.
It keeps cutting out.
Could be a signal issue outside.
My partner's looking
at your other TVs.
I'll check out the junction box.
- Thank you.
- Be right back.
Excuse me.
What are you doing?
Hello? I'm talking to you.
Why the hell are you
in my house?
You have a really nice
place here.
You can't be here.
Just checking the cable boxes.
But there's no TV in here.
You can clearly see that.
Huh. I must have
got the wrong room.
Get out!
I'm just trying to help.
- Get the hell out!
- Okay. Okay.
I'll leave.
But I'm not done yet.
See you around.
Don't look so nervous.
We're literally returning to
the scene of the crime.
Yeah. What could
possibly go wrong?
Hey.
Hold it. Bag, please.
Yes.
What's this?
Oh, drill bits. It's, uh
It's for this.
I got a call to fix a
broken door hinge.
- You're good.
- Thank you very much.
Have a good day.
It's been cleaned out.
Whoever sent you here
lied to you.
Angelo.
Stop! Drop your weapon!
Ah!
Gilchrist sent you, didn't she?
Ah!
Something about
this doesn't make sense.
So, what are we dealing
with here, Angelo?
Who the hell is that?
Come with me.
Wait.
Angelo.
Going to tell me
what's going on here?
Just stay close.
You ready?
They knew you were coming.
Oh, Wesley.
You look like
you could use a drink.
Who's Gilchrist?
Who?
Gilchrist.
Who put the hit on Parks?
Was it Gilchrist?
Are you kidding me?
Again with the scientist?
- Really?
- Uh-huh.
I don't know any Gilchrist.
I'm sorry.
Are you sure?
What the hell is this?
Where is this all coming from?
Someone's coming after us.
I don't know who it is,
but he calls himself
the Ferryman.
The Ferryman?
That blue truck that was
following you a while back,
the one you were paranoid about,
you think that has
something to do with this?
I do.
Ah.
Yeah. No offense, Ange,
but I'm
I'm not hearing
much to go on here.
I mean, I can see
that this Ferryman's
got your panties in a twist,
but how is that our problem?
You got me the job.
I get you every job.
Yeah, and the intel on
this one was bad.
Sounds like you're
letting yourself
get spooked by a boogeyman.
An associate of mine was killed,
and the way they did
it made it crystal clear
that the Ferryman is
coming after us
because of the hit on Parks.
You're serious.
Alright. I guess you're going to
track down this Ferryman.
Okay. So, be honest.
Was my bolognese decent?
Oh, it was more than
decent. It was wonderful.
Thank you for making dinner.
- Hey.
- Yeah?
Something going on?
Mm.
Are you worried about the baby?
Baby?
Maria's.
How do you know about Maria?
You're kidding, right?
You were just going on
and on about her.
I think it's lovely she
wants to name her baby Liam.
Oh, Liam. Huh.
- After you.
- Mm-hmm.
You know, I hope
I get to meet Maria
and the little one someday.
Are you insane?
Contacting me after two years?
Do you have any idea
the position this puts me in?
We're in the middle of a
congressional hearing.
Ms. Gilchrist, someone's
using the name the Ferryman,
dropping bodies.
My guy's being followed,
getting threats.
And?
What do you think?
I want to know if this
has something to do
with the hit on Robert Parks.
I have no idea.
Whatever amateur hour drama
your guy has gotten himself into
is really none of my concern.
You're not telling me something.
I'm sorry. You think
we brief contract labor on
corporate strategy?
You were hired to solve a
problem, and you solved it.
End of relationship.
I'm trying to keep this from
blowing up in your face.
Are you? Because
from where I stand,
you're creating exposure.
I know my guy,
and I know when he's not
going to let something go.
Well, I guess you have a
management problem, don't you?
Get your house in order,
because if your
guy becomes a liability,
if you can't control him,
then we will.
And trust me.
Our methods are far more
creative than yours.
You think Angelo is the problem.
Lady, Angelo is the solution,
and if your creative methods
come looking for him,
well, you'll find out
why I've kept him
around for 30 years.
I made contact
with the daughter.
You think she trusts you?
Yeah. She's starting to.
That's good.
And Angelo?
I got in his head.
What's up is down,
and what's down is up.
I can make him believe anything.
You tell the Ferryman,
when this is over,
my debt is paid, and we're done.
You hear me?
I hear you.
I'd be delighted to
pass on your message.
Just a couple more
questions I need to go over
- if that's okay?
- Yeah.
When Earl Hancock
entered your house,
did he, um, initiate contact
in any way?
Seriously, Dave?
He was in my house!
I know. Sorry.
I'm just trying to get
the information we need to
To what?
The man who killed my
mother was inside my house,
in my baby's nursery!
I mean, isn't that all
the information you need?
Look. I know you want
a a restraining order,
and if it were up to me
But unfortunately,
he was a legitimate employee
of the cable company,
and since he didn't
make any explicit threats
I'm sorry.
I know it's extremely
frustrating,
but there just isn't enough here
to take to the judge.
I mean, it's not your fault.
It's just
It's fine.
It's okay. Just, um
We can be done here, okay?
Maria, hey.
You know I'd do anything
to protect you, right?
I know.
Uh, there's something else.
We have new evidence on
the Henry Bloch case.
What did you find?
We found some fibers
and, um, a button
we think could be from
the killer's jacket.
It it's really expensive,
and it matches only three
different designers.
And we're going to canvas
their stores tomorrow,
and this could be big.
Okay. Well, uh, what what
stores? Which designers?
High-end stuff.
I've never heard of them.
Look.
Yeah. Uh, Lorenzo Fabroni.
I mean, um, I don't know
about the other two,
but this can't be very high end.
I mean, my dad has
some clothes made by Fabroni.
- Your dad?
- Yeah. He said he got them
from, um, some office manager
in in Tucson
or something. Uh
I'm sorry.
I don't think this is
the break you were hoping for.
I'm forgetting conversations.
And so that's
why you've come back.
I'm getting worse.
And it's happening faster than
I thought it would.
Thank you, Dave.
Angelo Flannery,
fashion icon, right?
This is
interfering with my work.
I will do whatever it takes,
whatever medicine, pills,
treatments, trials, anything.
Okay?
Yes, Mr. Flannery. I understand.
I just want to be myself again.
Let's get started.
