Saint-Pierre (2025) s02e05 Episode Script
Dirty Jane
1
FITZ: Last night was a bit of a surprise.
Seems like you’re doing really well here.
- Why don’t we all have dinner?
- Totally.
You want me to have dinner
with your ex-wife
and your arch-nemesis?
- You’re pregnant.
- I haven’t even told Robert.
ROBERT: What did we miss?
Excuse me for a sec.
♪
Not used to you picking me up.
Oh. I was awake early.
Meaning
you didn’t sleep.
[scoffs]
Anything you want to talk about?
No. Not really.
Does it have something to do
with why you left dinner early?
Fun evening, by the way,
trying to make small talk
with your ex and O’Brien.
[phones buzzing]
- Are you seeing this?
- Yeah.
♪
ARCH: Renuf, what do we know?
Natasha okay?
RENUF: Just get to the funeral home
as soon as you can.
♪
ARCH: Natasha, what happened here?
Hey, stop!
[gasp and thud]
[thud and crash]
It’s Milo.
My brother.
But it can’t be.
It can’t be what?
He’s dead.
He died over a year ago.
[dramatic music]
♪
[theme music]
♪
FITZ: Natasha said
her brother died a year ago.
What’s that all about?
Milo was supposedly killed
in a skiing accident.
Natasha’s been taken
to hospital for X-rays.
She claims she thought
Milo was an intruder.
Did she say how the urn was broken?
Was there a struggle?
According to her, that all happened
when she fell down the stairs
and chased after him.
ARCH: She didn’t call it in right away.
See how the blood has coagulated?
RENUF: Once she realized
the intruder was her brother,
she tried to help him,
but he died in her arms.
Ah, she must have been in shock.
So, with Natasha out of the picture,
I guess we don’t have a coroner?
We have a backup,
but I think he’s in Paris.
You seeing this?
What’s all over him?
Is he covered in cremation dust?
Gross.
We should get it tested just to be sure.
It’s everywhere.
Even in his wound.
Yeah, it looks like someone gave him
a pretty heavy crack on the skull.
So, there were no signs of forced entry?
- No.
- Right.
Natasha and Milo,
they grew up in this house.
Theoretically,
they know how to get in here.
She definitely was caught
off guard seeing him.
So what if it’s both?
What if he didn’t break in?
And she didn’t know he was here.
We should take a poke around.
See what we can find.
♪
Wow.
How would you feel
if you lived in a house
that had a basement filled with caskets?
ARCH: Natasha grew up here.
Imagine being kids running
around in a place like this.
As creepy as it is, if you
lived here, you’d be used to it.
You’d do kid things, like
play hide-and-seek.
This is a pretty good hiding spot.
So, if Milo wanted to lay low
Wait, you don’t actually think
I don’t know.
[casket creaks open]
Arch
♪
I cannot even think of the nightmares
from sleeping in this.
This is all Milo’s stuff.
What are these?
ARCH: Milo Bourges,
Natasha’s stepbrother.
Her mother remarried when she was a kid
and Milo came with the deal.
They’re not blood-related.
So, Milo was dead,
and then he wasn’t dead,
but now he’s very dead?
Milo disappeared a year ago
on a heli-skiing trip in the Alps.
His body wasn’t recovered,
but local authorities
ruled it an accidental death.
MARCUS: Clearly, they got that wrong.
I ran an image search
through airport authority
security footage
and got a hit for Milo.
He flew in three days ago
from Zagreb via Paris
on a fake Croatian passport
under the name Tom Maszk.
ARCH: A faked death? A fake passport?
We found these stashed in the casket
that Milo was sleeping in
in Natasha’s basement.
Race cards for the horse track
in Saint-Pierre
going back several months.
Looks like he was doing some research
before placing a bet.
PATTY: What are all these circles for?
MARCUS: Milo was tracking
a group of horses.
Some winners, of course, but what’s weird
is that he’s been
consistently tracking horses
with terrible odds.
All this subterfuge to bet on horses?
Doesn’t make a lot of sense.
And there’ll be no clarity
coming from the backup coroner
’cause he can’t get on a plane
till tomorrow night.
On that point, Renuf,
any luck with forensics?
We need to figure out
what this dust all over Milo is.
Uh, they’re on it. Yeah.
But do we really think Natasha
could kill her own brother?
MARCUS: Natasha’s one of us,
but everything about this situation
screams foul play.
ARCH: Why have you
barely said a word all day?
Are you messed up
by the idea that Natasha
is our prime suspect, or?
I don’t love it, but no, that’s
not what’s going on with me.
Mm-hm. Still thinking about
how you just randomly got up
and left me at dinner with Meredith?
I’d had too much to drink.
It was better for everyone
that I just left.
You could just tell us what the issue is.
No, I no. She’s not going anywhere.
I’m not going anywhere.
I would like to speak
to your supervisor, please.
FITZ: Hi. Is everything all right?
ANGIE: No, actually.
The officer isn’t letting us in
to see our friend.
We have some food and a change
of clothes for Natasha.
And you are?
- Jane. This is Angie.
- We’re Natasha’s friends.
Oh!
You are Arch, right?
Natasha literally talks
about her all the time.
And Don?
Fitz is fine.
JANE: Fitz.
Good. I like it.
It suits you. Strong.
ANGIE: Is Natasha
in some kind of trouble?
We can’t talk to you about that.
JANE: Well, can you please make sure
that she gets
these?
FITZ: Ah, okay, I’m sorry
I walked out on dinner,
and I’m sorry I dragged you
into my weird personal stuff.
Okay?
Meredith is pregnant.
♪
NATASHA: That’s so sweet
of Jane and Angie.
Why couldn’t they drop it off?
Why is there a cop outside my room?
I’m a suspect?
The more thorough we are,
the more by the book we do this,
the better it is for you in the long run.
Who are those two, anyway?
Jane’s
Jane’s the best.
She graciously offered to stay
at my place while I recover.
And she, uh, runs the horse racetrack.
She’s nice enough, but a little clingy.
Who is going to examine Milo’s body?
We are working on it.
There are a lot of questions around Milo.
He was your stepbrother?
Never used "step."
He’s my brother.
Milo came into my life when I was little,
so he’s the only
sibling I have.
We mourned his passing,
so when I saw him last night,
I thought I was seeing a ghost.
[crying]
He travelled here on a fake passport.
Do you have any idea
why he faked his own death or
..why he was back in Saint-Pierre?
No.
None. I swear.
We found evidence that
tells us he was camping out
in a casket in your basement
for a few days at least.
[sighs]
You remember I told you I
thought I was hearing sounds at night?
I thought I was going crazy!
I know how this looks, but there is
I want to know what happened
to Milo more than anyone.
[sombre music]
♪
ARCH: I have a few follow-up questions.
Me too. Why fake your own death?
No, Fitz, not that.
If Milo faked his own death
because he was trying
to disappear from something,
then why reappear?
We figure that out, maybe we’ll
have a better understanding
as to what happened to him.
Meredith the baby. Is it
Mine?
Felt kind of tacky to ask, but, um
the timing works out.
Oh.
So, you guys, um
when she came to tell you
she was engaged?
Yeah. And if I’m the father, I mean,
there’s a part of me that hopes
that’s true, but
But if you’re not the father?
Then O’Brien is, and well,
I don’t have to tell you
what I think about that.
I just left the guys in Forensics.
They’re trying to figure out
what the dust on Milo could be.
Great, Patty, you come with us.
I don’t wanna talk about this
anymore. Come on.
FITZ: Patty, why would you
fake your own death?
I I wouldn’t.
No, of course you wouldn’t,
’cause you’re a normal person,
which tells us that Milo
Milo’s not so normal.
He was running from someone?
Right? That’s that’s one possibility.
Another is money.
Patty, check with Natasha’s funeral home,
the financials, life insurance,
anything that might show
if Natasha benefited
from her brother’s disappearance.
Will do. I’ve been
interviewing Milo’s friends
as well to see if anyone else
knew he was back.
He kind of isolated himself from them.
But Édouard Croteau
was Milo’s old boss at the tack shop.
He filed charges against Milo for theft.
Milo served jail time.
There could be beef there.
Maybe that drove Milo to return.
FITZ: All right,
let’s go talk to Mr. Croteau.
Nice work, Patty.
We’ll drop you back at the station.
[tense music]
ÉDOUARD: I’m confused.
So, Milo didn’t die last year?
No. When was the last time
that you saw him?
At the trial.
Milo worked for me.
Édouard, you had Milo charged
with theft under 2,000.
It’s a bit extreme
to go to trial for that amount.
ÉDOUARD: Milo stole a lot more from me,
but I only reported the 2 grand
to ensure he received
the least possible sentence.
Sorry, you’re gonna
have to explain that to us.
I didn’t want to ruin the boy’s life.
Milo and Natasha.
I was friends with their parents,
so they were like family.
When I discovered he was stealing,
I warned him to stop.
So you wanted to scare him straight?
Milo had the biggest heart.
I don’t know. He just lost his way.
I hoped a little jail time
teach him a lesson,
turn his life around.
And not just for Milo,
but for Natasha too.
Given everything she was going through.
What was Natasha going through?
Milo put the funeral home in debt,
stole all her savings.
Eventually, she kicked him out.
Milo was an addict?
Gambling. I tried to help,
but at a certain point,
you can lead a horse to water,
but you can’t make him drink.
What do you make of these?
These betting slips,
they were all Milo’s picks,
but not all of them were winners.
All these horses have the same link.
They’re owned by the same couple.
Sunil and Marielle Sharma.
Did Milo ever threaten you?
Come after you for the theft charges?
No.
He never talked to me again.
I got the sense
that he was just too ashamed.
And then we all assumed he was dead.
[tense music]
♪
MARIELLE: Well, I can
just give you some cash
and then you can let the car go.
MAN: Désolée, madame.
MARIELLE: Oh, come on!
ARCH: Marielle Sharma? Police.
We need to speak to you.
I cannot believe that jackass called you.
Listen, we are only here
for part of the year.
My husband just let the car
payment fall through the cracks.
I just lost track
of the accounts. I’m on it. I
Hardly worth a visit.
Actually, we have nothing
to do with your car.
What’s your relationship
with Milo Bourges?
I think I might have
seen him from the track.
I I don’t know.
Sorry, what is this about?
It’s just that Milo
was really, really interested
in your horses.
Our horses are winners.
Just doing his homework, I’d say.
Abalone is the odds on favourite to win
the Prix de Saint-Pierre.
Yeah, now, if you don’t mind,
I gotta figure out
a way to get my car back. Yeah? Great.
- [phone ringing]
- Yeah, I’m on it. I’m on it, babe.
[into phone] Yeah, yeah.
[engine starts]
♪
PATTY: I looked into Natasha’s
financials like you asked.
The funeral home
was going into receivership.
Six months before Milo
died on his ski trip,
he purchased a 3 million euro
life insurance policy.
You can’t be serious.
The sole beneficiary?
Natasha?
FITZ: So, what,
was him faking his own death
like a scam to save the funeral home?
I just got a call from the officer
guarding Natasha’s room.
She’s escaped somehow.
- What do you mean?
- She’s gone.
[dramatic music]
♪
ARCH: What are you doing here?
I was just bringing Natasha a smoothie.
♪
"Arch and Fitz, you’d never have let me."
♪
Arch, we gotta go. Now!
[dramatic music]
♪
Natasha, wait.
Put the scalpel down gently.
And step away from your brother.
♪
NATASHA: I know how that looked.
It looked like you were performing
an autopsy on your brother.
I was only observing
..looking for evidence.
The scalpel was just
to scrape off some dried blood.
Anything you would have found would have
been inadmissible and you know that.
I was just looking for answers.
And so are we.
It seems the funeral home
was in some financial trouble
before Milo disappeared in the Alps.
Coincidentally, Milo’s very
extensive life insurance policy
paid off those debts.
Your debts.
ARCH: You also forgot to mention
he went to jail for theft.
Wow.
So, that’s where we are.
You think I killed my brother.
What we think doesn’t matter.
What matters is the truth,
and the truth is,
your brother faked his death
and you cashed a life insurance
policy worth 3 million euro.
Natasha
..did you know that Milo was still alive
when you cashed that policy?
Milo
..had a lot of other issues.
So, yes, maybe I suspected
that he might have orchestrated his
..death to avoid facing the
consequences of his actions.
You suspected?
I had nothing to do
with whatever he was up to.
And when the investigation
to his disappearance closed,
I just, I put it all behind me.
With your debts magically gone.
They weren’t my debts!
Milo stole from the funeral home.
I had to take out loans
to buy out his share.
I have no idea
what he did with the money,
but his creditors are still at my door.
So, no, not exactly
a get-rich-quick scheme.
Why do you think I took on
being your coroner?
For the glamour?
Milo and I, we
we had a special bond.
I helped my mom raise him.
This hasn’t been easy for me.
Because
..the person I loved more
than anyone else in this world
had problems that I couldn’t fix.
And believe me, I tried.
♪
ARCH: Whether she’s a part
of Milo’s murder or not,
Natasha is grieving.
Agreed. We need to
look at this with fresh eyes
so we can get to the bottom
of why Milo came back
and how he died.
Forensics report is in.
The dust that was all over
Milo’s body, in his socks,
shoes, everywhere, it’s limestone.
It’s a common myth that limestone helps
decompose bodies.
Natasha, a coroner,
would know the difference.
Mm-hm.
Besides, why would
she cover Milo in limestone
and then call us?
The quarry.
There’s a limestone quarry
less than a kilometre
from the funeral home.
♪
[seagull calling]
[intriguing music]
♪
Why would Milo have come here?
I’m not sure he came willingly.
ARCH: Tire tracks.
They look new, from a car,
not a truck or heavy equipment.
This is a working quarry.
Not just anyone can drive in here.
It’s the weekend.
Someone could have snuck in.
♪
Look.
Patty, bag the phone, please.
Arch, we got some blood.
Some more here.
More
All the way down.
♪
ARCH: No splatter.
Not enough blood
for an initial blow to the head.
He must have crawled out of there.
These drag marks, what is this,
like a botched attempt
to bury a body?
Messy, unplanned.
Natasha has a cremation chamber
in the funeral home.
She’s not dragging her brother’s
body out here to dump him.
Not to mention, Natasha of all people
would have checked his vitals
before she left him here.
She’s innocent.
♪
MARCUS: You sure you’re okay to do this?
NATASHA: Of course, yeah.
Um, abrasions
and bruising all over his body.
Indicative of someone who was
thrown into a trunk and then
dragged through a quarry.
Two head injuries.
One from the fall and
this one, this is
the one that killed him,
but not instantly.
So, he receives multiple head contusions,
then gets left at the quarry,
but he still manages
to walk to your place?
How?
Epidural hematoma.
The talk and die syndrome.
The victim loses consciousness
followed by a period of lucidity
before death.
NATASHA: An autopsy will confirm,
but the concussion probably happened
about seven hours before his death.
Milo made his way to the funeral home
around 5:00 AM,
so we’re looking at 10:00.
The weapon used, it’s
it’s kind of strange.
It’s curved, it’s got
all these dents along the way.
Yeah, so, you’re getting ahead of me.
The dents, the shape of the injury,
my first guess
is something like a horseshoe.
We found horse racing forms in his bag.
His biggest vice
was betting at the track.
I imagine it’s where
he spent my life savings.
He loved to go down to the stables
and check in on the horses
and the jockeys.
MARCUS: Hmm.
Well, if Milo was involved
with someone shady,
that’s a good place to look.
♪
[horse snorts]
Gorgeous.
[horse snorts]
ARCH: Abalone.
I need to get in there.
WOMAN: D’accord.
This is one of Sunil
and Marielle Sharma’s horses.

[camera clicks]
[horse snorts]
What are you doing here?
Angie, right? Natasha’s friend?
Mm-hm. I’m the club administrator.
We have a very big race here this weekend
and guests are already arriving.
You’re causing quite a disruption.
This is a warrant to search the premises.
We have good cause to believe
Milo Bourges was here
prior to his death.
FITZ: Arch?
This look like it could have been caused
by a blow to the head?
Absolutely. If this is human blood, yes.
This straw looks fresh.
[straw rustling]
FITZ: Oh
♪
Have there been any
injured animals in this stall?
If there had been, that would
have been cleaned out immediately.
I think we’ve found our crime scene.
Renuf, seal the perimeter.
Yeah. Mademoiselle, s’il vous plait.
You have to be kidding me.
FITZ: Now all we need is a murder weapon.
I know someone who might
be able to help us with that.
ARCH: You see that pattern in the wound?
It looks like it could be
from a horseshoe.
Gruesome stuff. My God.
You must catalogue all your custom shoes.
Of course.
Each shoe is different.
Ah, you’re a rider.
Yeah, my happy place.
ÉDOUARD: Hmm.
Different horse, different needs.
Compensatory shoes improve foot flight,
while therapeutic shoeing
can treat injury and disease.
Any way that you could match this pattern
to a specific horse?
Somewhat.
Those dents you see,
they’re from mud nails.
Now, I have a few clients that use them.
What about Abalone?
I just fit Abalone.
Now, Abalone is a racehorse.
And recently they’ve banned
mud nails in racing.
ARCH: And that pattern
doesn’t match the fatal blow.
Well, if you like, I can
make a list of closer matches
and send it to the station.
We’d appreciate that.
Okay, a horseshoe
You know, it’s the right shape,
but it doesn’t feel like
there’d be enough weight,
heaviness, to cause an injury like that.
[phone chimes]
What do you got there?
We gotta go to Veda’s.
♪
PATTY: I was having trouble
getting into the phone
we found at the quarry,
so I enlisted Veda’s help.
It’s for sure Milo’s.
And we opened a bit of a wormhole.
Yeah, before he faked his death,
he was transferring a load
of money into a crypto wallet,
random amounts between
5,000 and 15,000 euros.
The money he stole
from Natasha and Édouard.
FITZ: For what? And to who?
VEDA: It’s an anonymous account.
We can trace where
the money’s coming from,
but not who holds the account.
Are you able to hack it?
- Mm-hm.
- [chuckles]
It’s possible, but it will take time.
Also, Milo was living in Croatia
while he was pretending to be dead, FYI.
Not a bad spot to go
if you want to disappear.
He was also exchanging a load
of explicit emails with a woman.
VEDA: There are pics.
Some very spicy, but
Here are some peachy ones
- Do you have any with her face?
- VEDA: No.
Whoever this gal is, she was
supposed to meet Milo in Zagreb,
but then she ghosted him.
Around the same time, Milo ran out
of money and the deposits stopped.
Is there a link between the email address
with the racy photos
and the crypto account?
Uh, could be.
PATTY: The dates and times on the emails
and those on the transfers all correlate,
but there’s one more thing.
Someone else began depositing
crypto into the same account
after Milo stopped.
ARCH: Sunil Sharma.
FITZ: If Sunil was transferring
all of his money
to this mystery woman, it would explain
why his car was repo-ed yesterday.
Patty, let’s get a look
at Sunil’s financials.
I wonder if Sunil’s wife is aware
of their financial situation.
Exactly.
♪
Someone called me to meet you?
Why is my car in the police impound?
Oh, we had it brought here.
And it’s not really your car anymore.
Technically, it’s the bank’s.
I told you that
that was a misunderstanding.
Why are they going through it?
We’ll get to that.
Have a look.
MARIELLE: These are our bank accounts.
Not looking great, hey?
Can you please tell me what’s going on?
Your husband was sending money
to an anonymous crypto wallet.
Do you know why?
A crypto? I
I’m pretty sure he doesn’t
even know what that means.
Where was he two nights ago?
Well, he missed dinner.
Uh, but he came in around 10:00,
and he didn’t leave
for the rest of the night.
[phone chimes]
- Sunil, he
- What?
He sent me a text. It was cryptic.
He said he was sorry.
Fitz
it reads like a suicide note.
Where's Sunil now?
He’s with the horses.
[dramatic music]
ARCH: There he is!
FITZ: Oh my God
I got his legs! Hey, come on!
ARCH: Hold him!
[dramatic music]
I got a pulse. He’s alive.
ARCH: Sunil is still unconscious,
but he’s going to be okay.
I still can’t believe what he did.
I have no idea what he’s been up to,
but after I saw you
..I went through our records.
Everything’s gone.
All our money, it’s transferred out.
I’m sorry this is happening to you.
I should have known
that he wasn’t being honest.
He wasn’t himself.
I found these stashed in his office.
I had never seen them before.
What are they for?
Seems like Sunil rented a storage unit.
I don’t know why, but
I thought you should know about it.
Whatever you find,
just leave me out of it.
[metal rattling]
It’s women’s clothes.
Well, it’s not Marielle’s.
Renuf, we’re gonna need
the footage from that camera.
She didn’t even know about this place
until she started digging around
in her husband’s stuff.
The woman in the saucy photos Milo had.
She wore that in
Arch. She was also blonde.
Ah, they’re knock-offs.
I know a good handbag when I see one.
Art is art.
Besides, my my years in customs
taught me a thing or two
about picking out the fakes.
We’ve seen someone recently
with a fake designer purse.
Who?
I thought I was being an ass
because something about that woman
clearly was getting on my nerves.
Maybe that was you.
What?
In the hospital Jane?
Natasha’s friend, Jane?
She was flirty, but I thought
she was really nice.
Women instinctually know
a certain type of threat.
You’re probably blinded by her charms.
Prix de Saint-Pierre, 2023.
ARCH: Look, it directly
links to the crime scene.
That’s what was missing on the wall.
So, if Jane is connected
to Sunil and Milo,
and this is her stuff,
does that mean Jane killed Milo?
This locker is in Sunil’s name,
so if that is the murder weapon,
it points directly at him.
And he did try to take his life.
ARCH: But Jane I know in my gut
she has something
to do with Milo’s death.
That crypto account has to be hers.

We could go somewhere, right?
We could do that.

Hey.
I thought Natasha
could do with some company.
You know, away from the house.
You guys find something?
Uh, what do you guys want to drink?
What’s your relationship
to Natasha’s brother?
Not sure what you mean, Fitz.
ARCH: Before you say another word,
we know about the crypto account.
Milo was making deposits to you.
What’s she talking about, Jane?
What deposits?
I didn’t even know you knew Milo.
All the money Milo
took from you went to Jane.
We know you were pulling
the same scam with Sunil.
The same crypto account.
Arch.
Jane.
I don’t need to listen to this.

Hey!
Did you have something to do
with my brother’s death?
JANE: Which one?
The one he faked
to get away from you, or
♪
You’re under arrest.
For what charge?
We found the storage unit
with all of your knock-off crap.
I paid for all of those products.
I have the receipts.
I bought them legally in Milan.
Mm-hm. But here in France,
it’s very illegal
to possess counterfeit goods.
So, I think we’ll do
the full handcuff treatment.
Turn around.
Now.
♪
[handcuffs clinking]
FITZ: We’ll never be able
to hold her with your bluff.
The whole counterfeit thing.
Oh, it’s not a bluff.
France is home
to the greatest fashion houses.
We take the sale of fake
designer goods very seriously,
like five years in prison seriously.
The plaque was wiped clean of any prints.
It’ll take a while to know
if there’s any of Milo’s DNA
to prove it’s the murder weapon.
But Veda was finally able to crack
into that anonymous crypto account.
It’s Jane’s.
As is the burner email account.
We’ve got her.
♪
ARCH: You clearly didn’t know
how serious we are here
about counterfeit fashion.
JANE: Oh [chuckles]
The likelihood of prison time is a joke.
And I’m I’m more than happy
to pay the 30,000 euro fine.
Oh, and, uh who are you
gonna con for that cash?
We grabbed this from the security camera
outside Sunil’s locker.
ARCH: Look who it is.
Let’s be honest,
I want you for a lot more
than knock-off purses.
JANE: Yeah. I had
a relationship with two guys
who just thought I was delightful.
They loved sending me money.
I really don’t see the crime.
Well
..one of those men is dead,
and the other tried to commit suicide.

Well, if you like, I can

What do you got there?
We gotta go to Veda’s.

PATTY: I was having trouble
getting into the phone
we found at the quarry,
so I enlisted Veda’s help.
It’s for sure Milo’s.
And we opened a bit of a wormhole.
Yeah, before he faked his death,
he was transferring a load
of money into a crypto wallet,
random amounts between
5,000 and 15,000 euros.
The money he stole
from Natasha and Édouard.
FITZ: For what? And to who?
VEDA: It’s an anonymous account.
We can trace where
the money’s coming from,
but not who holds the account.
Are you able to hack it?
- Mm-hm.
- [chuckles]
It’s possible, but it will take time.
Also, Milo was living in Croatia
while he was pretending to be dead, FYI.
Not a bad spot to go
if you want to disappear.
He was also exchanging a load
of explicit emails with a woman.
VEDA: There are pics.
Some very spicy, but
Here are some peachy ones
- Do you have any with her face?
- VEDA: No.
Whoever this gal is, she was
supposed to meet Milo in Zagreb,
but then she ghosted him.
Around the same time, Milo ran out
of money and the deposits stopped.
Is there a link between the email address
with the racy photos
and the crypto account?
Uh, could be.
PATTY: The dates and times on the emails
and those on the transfers all correlate,
but there’s one more thing.
Someone else began depositing
crypto into the same account
after Milo stopped.
ARCH: Sunil Sharma.
FITZ: If Sunil was transferring
all of his money
to this mystery woman, it would explain
why his car was repo-ed yesterday.
Patty, let’s get a look
at Sunil’s financials.
I wonder if Sunil’s wife is aware
of their financial situation.
Exactly.

Someone called me to meet you?
Why is my car in the police impound?
Oh, we had it brought here.
And it’s not really your car anymore.
Technically, it’s the bank’s.
I told you that
that was a misunderstanding.
Why are they going through it?
We’ll get to that.
Have a look.
MARIELLE: These are our bank accounts.
Not looking great, hey?
Can you please tell me what’s going on?
Your husband was sending money

Do you know why?
A crypto? I

even know what that means.
Where was he two nights ago?
Well, he missed dinner.
Uh, but he came in around 10:00,

He sent me a text. It was cryptic.
He said he was sorry.

I still can’t believe what he did.
I have no idea what he’s been up to,
but after I saw you

Everything’s gone.
All our money, it’s transferred out.
I’m sorry this is happening to you.
I should have known
that he wasn’t being honest.
He wasn’t himself.
I found these stashed in his office.
I had never seen them before.
What are they for?
Seems like Sunil rented a storage unit.
I don’t know why, but
I thought you should know about it.
Whatever you find,
just leave me out of it.

It’s women’s clothes.
Well, it’s not Marielle’s.
Renuf, we’re gonna need
the footage from that camera.
She didn’t even know about this place
until she started digging around
in her husband’s stuff.
The woman in the saucy photos Milo had.
She wore that in
Arch. She was also blonde.
Ah, they’re knock-offs.
I know a good handbag when I see one.
Art is art.
Besides, my my years in customs
taught me a thing or two
about picking out the fakes.
We’ve seen someone recently
with a fake designer purse.
Who?
I thought I was being an ass
because something about that woman
clearly was getting on my nerves.
Maybe that was you.
What?
In the hospital Jane?
Natasha’s friend, Jane?
She was flirty, but I thought
she was really nice.
Women instinctually know
a certain type of threat.
You’re probably blinded by her charms.
Prix de Saint-Pierre, 2023.
ARCH: Look, it directly
links to the crime scene.
That’s what was missing on the wall.
So, if Jane is connected
to Sunil and Milo,
and this is her stuff,
does that mean Jane killed Milo?
This locker is in Sunil’s name,
so if that is the murder weapon,
it points directly at him.
And he did try to take his life.
ARCH: But Jane I know in my gut
she has something
to do with Milo’s death.
That crypto account has to be hers.

Milo was making deposits to you.
What’s she talking about, Jane?
What deposits?
I didn’t even know you knew Milo.

Oh, and, uh who are you
gonna con for that cash?
We grabbed this from the security camera
outside Sunil’s locker.
ARCH: Look who it is.
Let’s be honest,
I want you for a lot more
than knock-off purses.
JANE: Yeah. I had
a relationship with two guys
who just thought I was delightful.
They loved sending me money.
I really don’t see the crime.
Well
..one of those men is dead,
and the other tried to commit suicide.
Why did you ghost Milo?
After he faked his death,
you were supposed to meet him in Croatia.
Yeah, but that wasn’t
the plan, though, was it?
No, and you know what else
wasn’t a part of your plan?
You didn’t expect Milo to leave the money
from the insurance policy to Natasha.
See, he felt bad that
he left her in so much debt.
Is that why you were
hanging with Natasha?
Trying to find a way to get
your hands on that, too?
JANE: So, you think
Milo was mad I didn’t
come meet him in Croatia?
That he came back to get me
and I killed him?
No, we think he came back
to get the money
you stole from him.
Well, even if he did,
you saw the size of him.
You think I
I bashed him over the head
and dumped his body?

You’re so gullible.
Natasha told me all the details
of Milo’s death.
Yeah, you’re right.
You couldn’t do it on your own.
Exactly. And I forgot to tell you
I have an alibi.
Yeah. I was with my friend Angie.
Oh, you met her at the hospital.
Can I go now?
Not a chance.
ARCH: We need that alibi checked now.
I heard the whole thing.
I’ll visit with Angie personally.
If the alibi is legit,
we’re not gonna be able
to hold her for long.
She ruined Milo and Natasha’s lives.
Not to mention Sunil’s,
and God knows who else.
The report is back from
the tests we ran on Sunil’s car.
The sand on the tires is limestone.
And the trunk is covered in Milo’s DNA.
And I don’t know how, but I’m sure Jane
convinced Sunil to kill Milo.
Well, you might be right,
but we’re gonna need some evidence.
We’re just trying
to understand why you did it.
Milo’s DNA, his blood,
it’s all over the trunk of your car.

That’s very generous of you.

just kept coming, didn’t it?
You sent her all those payments,
all that money, the emails.
I love Jane.
With my debts,
I didn’t have anything left.
I couldn’t give her

life insurance policy,

Right, right.
How does Milo fit into all of this?
Jane wanted Milo out of the picture.
She murdered him and asked you
to help her move the body?
Jane didn’t have to tell me
to deal with Milo.
Okay? And then
he tried to come into my stables
and tried to intimidate me,
tried to tell me that Jane had to pay.
So I did what had to be done.

Milo didn’t come back to Saint-Pierre

He came back because he was
onto something she was up to.
What else was Milo digging into?
The horses.

private medical information.

not a defect.

Milo wasn’t circling Abalone for a bet.
