Will Trent (2023) s04e13 Episode Script
Did I Screw This Up?
1
[AMANDA] Previously on Will Trent
Joanne Drexel.
I'm part of George's legal team.
Changing lives left and right, huh?
- What?
- You're just not what I expected.
[WILL] Those letters from Malcolm?
- You've gotten quite a few already.
- Okay, thank you.
You know there's no shame
in a next chapter, Amanda.
Guys like that can't be killed.
They just get promoted.
Antonio!
[ANGIE] Adelaide was spotted in Brazil.
We don't know if he's with her.
[WILL] You are The Commander.
- What's this?
- We'll be in touch.
That was really beautiful.
Oh, thank you, Casey.
Do you want to have dinner tonight?
[AMANDA] I'll bring the wine.
You threw a rock through
your estranged wife's window last night.
I got a bad feeling about Dallas.
You need protection.
This is my personal gun.
Hang on to it till you get your own.
- [CASEY] He's in the house!
- Get the gun. Remember what I taught you.
[DALLAS] Come back here, you bitch!
I'm gonna kill you.
[CASEY] No!
- [GUNSHOT]
- Casey?
[SIRENS WAILING]
[INDISTINCT RADIO CHATTER]
I'll let 'em know.
Mm-hmm.
[DRAMATIC MUSIC PLAYS]
[AMANDA] Okay, just breathe.
There she is.
Come on, baby, breathe.
[WHIMPERING]
[AMANDA WHISPERS] All right, all right.
[INHALES, EXHALES DEEPLY]
Oh, good, you're here.
These are the agents I mentioned.
Will Trent and Faith Mitchell.
This is my friend, Casey Mavery.
I'm sorry, I-I I'm just
It's okay.
You're okay, sweetie.
- It's all right. You're okay. All right?
- [CASEY SNIFFLES]
Ms. Mavery, do you mind if I sit with
you while Amanda
catches my partner up?
I'm here.
[EXHALES SHARPLY]
[AMANDA SIGHS]
The, uh, uni outside said
this was a domestic dispute?
Yeah, the body is, uh, Casey's
soon-to-be ex-husband, Dallas Mavery.
He didn't live here.
He broke in last night, attacked her,
and she shot him.
Seems pretty clear cut.
Um [STAMMERS] I don't mean
to sound callous,
but why did you call me and Faith?
Casey and I are romantically involved.
Oh.
[SIGHS]
Feels like there's more
you want to say, Amanda.
It was my gun.
Casey didn't feel safe.
He'd been threatening her.
I loaned her my personal
weapon just in case.
And you know what? I'm glad I did.
[CASEY INHALES SHARPLY]
Don't touch me, please!
- Sorry, ma'am. I just brushed her arm.
- [BREATHING HEAVILY]
Okay, go outside.
Ms. Mavery, it's okay.
Can't breathe.
Casey, breathe. That's right.
[INHALES, EXHALES DEEPLY]
That's right.
Breathe.
[CASEY INHALES, EXHALES]
We have our lives ahead of us.
Why would we throw it away to be cops?
We're homicide detectives with
fulfilling careers. It's important work.
If you want to learn more
- take a water bottle.
- [ANGIE CHUCKLES]
Ask for Franklin.
Oh, Community Service Day. I love it.
Man, I love it. Don't you love it?
I know you're married,
and you're about to have a baby,
but in this moment, I'm questioning if
you know what the word love means.
You're homicide detectives, right?
- I-I need you to help me.
- With what?
You-You've got to keep
an open mind, okay?
I saw something, but, I didn't
[STAMMERS] Not Not in person,
but I just I I-I-I get these
- Get it out.
- Seriously.
I know where a dead body is.
Okay. Where did you see the body?
That-That's the open-mind part.
I get these visions.
Visions. Is it peyote?
Is that what you're on?
Wait till you graduate to do that stuff.
No, no, no, no!
I-I-I need you to listen to me.
I know her. Her name's Nikki.
Nikki Lane. She's my neighbor.
Where did you find Nikki's body?
I didn't. That's what I'm
trying to tell you, okay?
I-I-I see images in my mind.
It's not a complete picture,
but there's a
a green circle and seven flags.
Oh, like the theme park?
That's Six Flags. Okay, seven flags.
Seven flags, right.
Did you get the green circle?
- I did.
- Okay.
[ANGIE] Okay, and, uh
So
[MICHAEL] What else?
A rubber giant.
And a unicorn.
That-That's everything.
Okay, listen, my partner and I are
gonna be here for the next 30 minutes.
Why don't you sit down, okay?
In case anything else comes to you.
Okay, but you're gonna check it out?
- Absolutely.
- Oh, absolutely.
Thank you.
That's a huge relief. [SNIFFLES]
Unicorn [SIGHS] green circle
Green circle? Why does that sound fam
Bingo. I helped a buddy
renovate his dad's house.
We used to drop stuff off here. Look.
"Millrun Landfill."
The logo of this place is a green
circle. Is that where the body is?
Maybe.
[ANGIE] That is a rubber giant.
There's no way Seymour expects us
to believe that story. Visions?
He seems like such a nice kid.
Maybe he believes it?
It doesn't matter.
There's no such thing as psychics.
I don't know. Who am I to say?
I talked to my ghost mom in a toilet.
And there's our unicorn.
We must be getting close.
Oh.
- Ugh. Yeah, you smell that?
- Yeah. That's bad.
Ugh. It's coming from that car.
And seven flags on the bumper.
Oh, I can't
[ANGIE SIGHS]
[GRUNTS]
And a dead body in the trunk.
Think Seymour had any psychic visions
about going to prison?
[WILL] This is just Appleyard trying
to make something out of nothing.
[SIGHS] I know.
Good. You want to stop
wearing a groove in the floor?
Got it.
[APPLEYARD] And how did you know
he was in the house?
[CASEY] I heard a crash in the kitchen
and then I went to check.
It was Dallas.
He was just trashing the place.
And then he saw me.
It's okay. Take your time.
I could smell the alcohol on him,
and he was just so loud and angry.
And then when
he started hitting me, I I just
I knew that was it.
What do you mean?
That he was gonna kill me.
I got free somehow. I locked myself in
the bedroom. And then I called Amanda.
- You didn't call 911?
- [CASEY] I couldn't
I called it in.
Appleyard knows that and we all know
what he's trying to do here.
You're gonna be fine, Amanda.
I'm not worried about me.
[APPLEYARD] Tell
me about the phone call.
Amanda told me to get the gun.
And to defend myself.
And then I went out there,
and Dallas came at me again.
And I shot him.
How long were you having
an affair with Amanda Wagner?
What? No, we're-we're not
Your husband's anger that night, was
that because Amanda
Wagner, your lover,
hauled him into the GBI to harass him?
He threw a rock through my window, and
she was just telling him to back off.
Were you here for that questioning?
- No, I
- That's right. You couldn't have been,
since Mr. Mavery had
a restraining order against you.
Did you know about that?
- No.
- [CASEY] Dallas got that out of spite.
I had to get off of work and go down
to the courthouse
and get that dropped.
Now I'm I'm here
Oh, I'm so sorry for
the inconvenience.
It's protocol when you kill a man.
Getting back to that,
was your girlfriend
on the phone telling you how to do it
or just how to stage
the crime scene afterwards?
I need to stop this.
[WILL] Amanda, wait.
- [CASEY] Amanda didn't do anything.
- Caroline.
Dallas broke in.
Are you sure he broke in?
There's no forced entry.
It was an electric lock. I don't know.
Maybe he [STAMMERS]
he had a code or
Maybe. Sounds like you and Wagner
didn't get your story straight.
Enough, Bill. Enough.
We're done for now, Mrs. Mavery.
Thank you for your time.
I'll walk you out, ma'am.
[CASEY BREATHING HEAVILY]
"Just an initial interview"?
You knew where you were taking that.
She should have had a lawyer present.
I'll have your badge, Bill.
Deputy Director Wagner,
you are on administrative leave.
That's straight from the director.
You will leave this building now.
[SIGHS]
[WILL SIGHS]
You want Amanda Wagner's job so badly,
try earning it.
I'm choosing to ignore
your outburst, Agent Trent.
The deputy director of the GBI
must be unimpeachable,
but as of now,
there are holes in this case.
And you'd be able to see them, if
you didn't let your
personal investment
get in the way of your judgment.
Now, you two are
tasked with uncovering
exactly what happened last night.
A woman shot her abusive husband
in self-defense.
That is what happened.
So, Mr. Mavery's been careful and
precise, stalking
Mrs. Mavery for a year.
Suddenly switches it up and attacks her?
Find out why. Start by looking into him.
[ELEVATOR BELL DINGS]
[WILL SIGHS]
- The door.
- I know.
Her gun.
I know.
It's gonna be fine.
Right.
That was pretty gruesome, Seymour.
The smell is still up in the nostrils.
You did the right thing
by coming to us. Why?
Because the guilt was eating you up.
Write down what you did to
that poor lady. Get it all out.
[SCOFFS] Come on.
Tell me you're not doing
the pen and pad thing. [CLEARS THROAT]
Joanne, hi.
Roger had a hearing, so I'm here.
Don't say or sign anything.
- Well, I didn't kill her. I want to help.
- Shut up.
Let him confess.
We all want the same thing here.
Do we? I'm not so sure.
- What are we talking about here?
- What are we talking about?
Stop lawyering.
[STAMMERS] How'd you know where the
body was if you didn't put her there?
I told you, I get visions, okay?
They started when I was 12 or 13.
Sometimes they're clearer, sometimes
they're more like puzzle pieces
that don't really make sense
without the box for reference.
Never bodies though.
[CLICKS TONGUE] Seymour has psychic
abilities. It's how
he makes his living.
Sure. Scammer.
What was your relationship
with Nikki Lane?
We talked a few times
in the laundry room. She was nice.
And pretty.
You ever hit on her?
I asked her out once. She said no.
No harm in asking.
Detailed calendar. T.A. schedule
to confirm Mr. Badgley's whereabouts.
So prepared.
I'm assuming you
don't have any physical
evidence linking
my client to this case.
Is Mr. Badgley free to go now?
Just don't leave town,
in case we have further questions.
Great. Come on, Seymour.
Joanne, wait, hold on.
Hey. Hey, can I
can I get a second without
I don't believe in secrets.
What is it, Detective?
Okay, I'll start.
You said you would call me.
I was meal prepping, and the kids
Meal prepping? [CHUCKLES] Okay, sure.
Um
I just I thought we had a moment.
Maybe I was wrong.
Take care.
You're gonna see somebody soon, a woman.
She's another body?
No, no, no, she's
alive, but she's cranky.
Yeah, she's got some sort of
female troubles, you know, down there.
Yeah.
Get outta here.
Also, watch out for the elephants.
I certainly will because you told us to.
Clearly, Seymour's been here before.
She's Nikki's roommate, he
figured out we'd have to interview her.
[CHUCKLING] I didn't say anything.
[SIGHS]
Oh, watch out for the elephants.
Oh, it sounds so familiar.
Where have I heard that before?
Shut it.
- Hi.
- Oh, cookies.
Did you bake those yourself, Ms. Matlin?
Oh, she doesn't bake.
She's right here.
Hal likes to bake.
So, uh, with regards to Nikki,
is there anyone you can think of
who might have wanted to harm her?
No. Nikki got along with everybody.
Yeah, she was fun. So full of life.
How about your neighbors,
specifically Seymour Badgley?
I've never seen him before.
So, the man in the photo,
he's never been in this apartment?
No. Your shirt's riding up.
[ANGIE] Nature, right?
Do you think
we should tell them about You know?
Hal, something you want to say?
Nikki was fighting a lot lately
with her boyfriend, Lester.
Do you have Lester's
phone number, address?
Yeah.
- Do you want a cookie?
- Oh, yes, please.
- Yeah.
- Thank you.

["STIR FRY" PLAYING]
I like this. Are you two really cops,
or is this some kind of kink?
I am an armed agent of the GBI.
Stop touching me.
My bad.
Bouncer said that Dallas Mavery
was your regular.
What kind of mood was he in last night?
The generous kind. I made good
money too. He was real happy with me.
Then he started going in about his ex.
These guys think
we're marriage counselors.
But this was way worse.
What exactly did he say about her?
Calling her all kinds of bitches.
"I hate her. I'm gonna kill her."
Did something set him off?
That's the thing. Nothing happened.
I tried to calm him down,
get him to eat something, sober up.
He wouldn't listen to me. Then he left.
He didn't actually hurt her, did he?
Dallas Mavery was killed
after leaving the club last night.
Oh, damn.
Pearl, you got a private dance request.
Make us that money.
Did I just hear you
right? Dallas is dead?
[GRUNTS]
Were you and Dallas friends?
Hell no. It's strictly transactional
in here. Fool owed me money.
Why did Dallas owe you money?
He tried to run out on his bill.
He was up in here last night,
acting like he King of the South.
Ordering a bottle of Dom,
top-shelf shots, chicken wings.
I did hear the wings are excellent.
My grandmama recipe.
You said Dallas tried to run out?
His card declined.
But he swore he was good for it.
Said he got some big payout coming.
Did he say from where?
His old lady
just inherited two million dollars.
Look, just let me know if there's
some type of form I need to fill out
so I can get my cash.
Damn.
Two million dollars. Dallas had motive.
Yeah, but so did Casey.
[CASEY] How much trouble
are you in because of me?
No, none-none of this is your fault.
But I do wish you'd told me
about the inheritance money.
When would I?
We just started seeing each other.
My dad passed away.
He had leukemia,
but he did pretty well for himself.
[EXHALES DEEPLY] Everything was
caught up in probate for over a year.
Honestly, it was the last thing
on my mind.
[CHUCKLES] Of course.
I guess the estate lawyer didn't know
that Dallas and I had
separated. [SIGHS]
She emailed both of us saying
the funds had been wired to my bank.
When was that email sent?
Day before yesterday.
That must have been what triggered him.
Next thing I know, he's in my home
demanding his half of the money.
Then he started
[BREATHING HEAVILY]
Hey. Hey, hey, you're here.
You're here, you're okay.
Yeah, even in death, this man
is ruining the good parts of my life.
Oh, no, he's not touching this.
We're good. Yeah?
[PENSIVE MUSIC PLAYS]
Yeah.
[CHUCKLES]
- [CHUCKLES]
- [PHONE CHIMES]
Appleyard wants to meet in an hour.
[BREATHES DEEPLY] Listen, Casey,
I know his playbook.
If there's anything else he can use,
I need you to tell me
so I'm not blindsided.
You have everything.
Tell me you asked Joanne out, right?
Do I pry into your relationship
with Dr. Seth?
Do you ever not?
- Let's just talk to the boyfriend.
- [CHUCKLES]
Pete, what do you got?
Autopsy results for Nikki Lane.
Cause of death was strychnine.
- She ingested it. And it gets worse.
- Oof.
Worse than someone poisoning her?
Ms. Lane was two months pregnant.
Geez.
[SIGHS] Thanks, Pete.
- You okay?
- [SIGHS] Yeah.
No, let's get this asshole.
Lester Clump.
Uh, yes, I am Lester Clump.
This is Barry, my brother.
I [STAMMERS] mean attorney.
You a real lawyer, Barry?
I mean, online degrees are valid.
Good enough to walk you
through your confession.
Why did you kill your girlfriend, Nikki?
Barry can't help you.
Was it because she was pregnant?
Pregnant?
- What my client means
- Shut up, Barry.
I think you knew about the baby.
- [SCOFFS] I didn't know
- Did Nikki tell you? No? Somebody else?
Did you find that positive test
in the trash?
That can be a lot. It can be a shocker.
Is that why you killed
your pregnant girlfriend?
Wait, how pregnant was she?
Two months.
We hadn't had sex in six months.
I went to Maine to take care of our
nana. I was there for four months.
When I got back,
Nikki didn't seem interested anymore.
She was spending all her time
with Reba and her fiancé.
Okay, we are still gonna need a
DNA sample to rule out paternity.
Help yourself out here, man.
If the baby's not yours, that means
we get to look into
a different suspect.
Fine, we're done for now.
[GROANS, CHUCKLES]
[GROANS]
Just take this to the lab,
see if it's a match.
- So dumb.
- Yeah.
- I don't think he's our guy.
- No.
Is it okay to hate a stupid person?
I think so.
Hope you don't mind if my FOP Rep
sits in on our little
impromptu meeting.
Interesting news
regarding Casey Mavery's
inheritance. Did you know about that?
No, I didn't, Bill.
These are text messages
between you and Casey Mavery,
more accurately from you to Mrs. Mavery.
- Inspector, I hope you obtained a warrant
- [SIGHS]
for the Deputy
Director's text messages.
"AMANDA: Make sure
to keep the gun nearby."
"AMANDA: You're protected
as long as you're inside your home."
"AMANDA: It's called Stand Your Ground."
"AMANDA: I can still smell
your perfume on me."
"AMANDA: Remember, aim for center mass."
You're only reading my half
of the conversation, Bill.
Casey was asking me questions.
All right, let me see those.
This does seem rather one-sided.
[SIGHS] Casey uses voice messaging.
I'm at work, so I generally type.
And I didn't save hers.
[SIGHS] The warrant was handled
by the GBI director personally.
Edie? Why?
Because we need to assess whether you,
Deputy Director Wagner,
are an accessory to murder.
No DNA match. Lester is not the father.
Still could've killed her.
Yeah, possibly.
You know what I've been thinking about?
You want an online legal degree?
Yeah. And that Joanne didn't come here
to help out a colleague.
She came to see you. Smart. Funny.
What if Nikki was having "cookies"
with Reba's fiancé?
Just say sex.
[SMACKS LIPS] Yeah. Uh, what's his name?
Hal. Passive Hal.
Yeah, let's go talk to him.
You noticed she also smells great?
- Stop.
- [JOANNE] Who smells great?
Don't answer that. We don't have time.
Seymour, tell them what you told me.
This feels familiar.
Yeah, isn't this how we met?
Oh, so you do remember?
Of course I remember.
You made quite an impression.
But meal prepping took precedent.
You're out of my league. There.
Really glad you guys are talking.
Let's hear what Seymour has to say.
I saw another body.
Yeah, well, you better have an address
this time. No more scavenger hunts.
Sandwich. Pickle. Red flashing light.
Delivery truck getting
towed. 12th Street.
12th?
Hal lives on 12th.
I get wanting to help Casey.
It's just the optics.
- [CHUCKLES] Bill wants my job.
- [CHUCKLES]
He thinks I just gave him
the key to my office.
Why is there glitter in your hair?
Oh, it's-it's from
Pearl, the dancer from
Magic City that Will
and I interviewed.
You know, Dallas had to be
one miserable person to be raging mad
amidst all of that and
all of those and the glitter.
- Stripper glitter never comes off.
- Really?
- Mm-hmm. Just so you know. [CHUCKLES]
- [CHUCKLES]
Look at us, Aunt Mandy.
We both fell hard and fast for somebody.
You still haven't read any of those
letters from Malcolm yet, have you?
[CHUCKLES] You know Caroline
tells me everything. Why not?
I can imagine what's in them.
Apologies, sweet words.
Malcolm was good with words.
Hmm.
If I do read them,
then I would have to admit
that I let myself love somebody
that I shouldn't have.
[CHUCKLES, STAMMERS]
I don't know where you're going
with this, but-but
- Aunt Mandy
- No, no, no. It's not the same.
I didn't wanna believe it either
with Malcolm. Not in the beginning.
It was good. It was exciting.
And you miss things.
And that was you, not me.
Is there even a possibility
that Casey used your position
- Don't go there, Faith.
- Dallas is dead,
and you are the only one being punished.
The only one.
[SCOFFS] So-So is
that what you think of
me? That I'm some
gullible old lady who
No, no, I do not think that.
I am just saying
Here's the truth. Casey begged for help,
but the police told her
that their hands were tied
unless Dallas actually killed her.
They said that out of their mouths
to a victim of domestic assault.
[SIGHS, SCOFFS]
Aunt Mandy, listen. Mandy.
They gave her a restraining order,
which did nothing to prevent him
from sitting in his truck
and watching her.
Casey would be dead right now
if she hadn't killed him first. [SIGHS]
I'll see myself out.
[STAMMERS] Don't go. I'm sorry.
- [DOOR CLOSES]
- [SIGHS]
[SIGHS]
[DRAMATIC MUSIC PLAYS]
Hey, Will.
Dallas's truck was never confiscated.
I'm gonna have it towed
to the impound lot. Meet me there.
Anything new on your uncle?
I saw you check the phone.
[SIGHS] Nope.
[SIGHS] You wanna talk about it?
Not really.
I haven't slept.
Antonio could be dead or worse.
Nobody has any answers.
And I'm digging
through a wife-beater's
truck instead of finding my uncle.
Maybe I did need to talk about it.
Thank you.
You okay?
Not really. This job is [SIGHS]
Yeah.
- It's all split-second decisions.
- And paperwork.
One wrong choice
and your career's on the line,
and then everybody's
judging you harshly.
Amanda mad at you?
Furious.
Well, then let's keep looking.
Yeah.
[GROANS] Oh, I think I got something.
Come on, come on.
[GRUNTS] Got it.
Oh, hello.
All right. Let's get it to Rocky.
- Maybe we can see what Dallas was up to.
- Yeah.
Seymour was right about
Hal living on 12th Street.
Lucky guess.
What about that?
Red flashing light,
delivery truck getting towed.
Lucky guess.
[ANGIE] Sandwich and a pickle.
Seymour's been here. That's all.
You hear that?
[PERSON GRUNTING]
[GROANING]
Strychnine poisoning.
His health, height and weight
delayed the poison's speed.
It caused his muscles to spasm,
probably explains the bruising.
He stumbled off his balcony.
The awning caught him.
He's lucky you guys found him.
Same poisoning as Nikki.
Yeah, Nikki, who's roommates
with Hal's fiancée.
I bet Reba slipped a secret ingredient
into Hal's cookies.
Are you doing
the cookie/sex metaphor again?
This time I mean she poisoned him
because Hal got Nikki pregnant.
Got it. Yep.
Did you find anything
on Dallas's phone we could use?
Uh, incoming call at 9:00 p.m.
He would've still
been in the strip club.
Pearl didn't mention him getting
a phone call. You trace the number?
It was a burner. Sorry.
Well, someone called
and talked to Dallas.
I'm guessing they said something
that triggered him.
So there is something else.
A HomeCam app on the phone
was linked to this address.
- What? Seriously.
- You should've led with that.
Well, I was trying to build suspense.
Why?
This is Casey's house.
Dallas planted a camera to spy on her.
- Anything else?
- I swear to God, Rocky.
Okay. Okay.
Uh, there's a video
of the night he died.
[SIGHS] Give me that.

Reba Matlin, APD.
So many elephants.
- Check the bedroom.
- Okay.
[MICHAEL] Clear!
These are fertility meds she's on.
She's pregnant?
She was. It's dated
a year and a half ago.
So that's what Seymour meant when
he said she was having female trouble.

and then I went to check.
It was Dallas.
He was just trashing the place.
And then he saw me.
It's okay. Take your time.
I could smell the alcohol on him,
and he was just so loud and angry.
And then when
he started hitting me, I I just
I knew that was it.
What do you mean?
That he was gonna kill me.
I got free somehow. I locked myself in
the bedroom. And then I called Amanda.
- You didn't call 911?
- [CASEY] I couldn't
I called it in.
Appleyard knows that and we all know
what he's trying to do here.
You're gonna be fine, Amanda.
I'm not worried about me.

me about the phone call.
Amanda told me to get the gun.
And to defend myself.
And then I went out there,
and Dallas came at me again.
And I shot him.
How long were you having
an affair with Amanda Wagner?
What? No, we're-we're not
Your husband's anger that night, was
that because Amanda
Wagner, your lover,
hauled him into the GBI to harass him?
He threw a rock through my window, and
she was just telling him to back off.
Were you here for that questioning?
- No, I
- That's right. You couldn't have been,
since Mr. Mavery had
a restraining order against you.
Did you know about that?
- No.
- [CASEY] Dallas got that out of spite.
I had to get off of work and go down
to the courthouse
and get that dropped.
Now I'm I'm here
Oh, I'm so sorry for
the inconvenience.
It's protocol when you kill a man.
Getting back to that,
was your girlfriend
on the phone telling you how to do it
or just how to stage
the crime scene afterwards?
I need to stop this.

- [CASEY] Amanda didn't do anything.

What kind of mood was he in last night?
The generous kind. I made good

Then he started going in about his ex.
These guys think
we're marriage counselors.
But this was way worse.

Director's text messages.
"AMANDA: Make sure
to keep the gun nearby."
"AMANDA: You're protected
as long as you're inside your home."
"AMANDA: It's called Stand Your Ground."
"AMANDA: I can still smell
your perfume on me."
"AMANDA: Remember, aim for center mass."
You're only reading my half
of the conversation, Bill.
Casey was asking me questions.
All right, let me see those.
This does seem rather one-sided.
[SIGHS] Casey uses voice messaging.
I'm at work, so I generally type.
And I didn't save hers.
[SIGHS] The warrant was handled
by the GBI director personally.
Edie? Why?
Because we need to assess whether you,
Deputy Director Wagner,
are an accessory to murder.
No DNA match. Lester is not the father.
Still could've killed her.
Yeah, possibly.
You know what I've been thinking about?
You want an online legal degree?
Yeah. And that Joanne didn't come here
to help out a colleague.
She came to see you. Smart. Funny.
What if Nikki was having "cookies"
with Reba's fiancé?
Just say sex.
[SMACKS LIPS] Yeah. Uh, what's his name?
Hal. Passive Hal.
Yeah, let's go talk to him.
You noticed she also smells great?
- Stop.
- [JOANNE] Who smells great?
Don't answer that. We don't have time.
Seymour, tell them what you told me.
This feels familiar.
Yeah, isn't this how we met?
Oh, so you do remember?
Of course I remember.
You made quite an impression.
But meal prepping took precedent.
You're out of my league. There.
Really glad you guys are talking.
Let's hear what Seymour has to say.
I saw another body.
Yeah, well, you better have an address
this time. No more scavenger hunts.
Sandwich. Pickle. Red flashing light.
Delivery truck getting
towed. 12th Street.
12th?
Hal lives on 12th.
I get wanting to help Casey.
It's just the optics.
- [CHUCKLES] Bill wants my job.
- [CHUCKLES]
He thinks I just gave him
the key to my office.
Why is there glitter in your hair?
Oh, it's-it's from
Pearl, the dancer from
Magic City that Will
and I interviewed.
You know, Dallas had to be
one miserable person to be raging mad
amidst all of that and
all of those and the glitter.
- Stripper glitter never comes off.
- Really?
- Mm-hmm. Just so you know. [CHUCKLES]
- [CHUCKLES]
Look at us, Aunt Mandy.
We both fell hard and fast for somebody.
You still haven't read any of those
letters from Malcolm yet, have you?
[CHUCKLES] You know Caroline
tells me everything. Why not?
I can imagine what's in them.
Apologies, sweet words.
Malcolm was good with words.
Hmm.
If I do read them,
then I would have to admit
that I let myself love somebody
that I shouldn't have.
[CHUCKLES, STAMMERS]
I don't know where you're going
with this, but-but
- Aunt Mandy
- No, no, no. It's not the same.
I didn't wanna believe it either
with Malcolm. Not in the beginning.
It was good. It was exciting.
And you miss things.
And that was you, not me.
Is there even a possibility
that Casey used your position
- Don't go there, Faith.
- Dallas is dead,
and you are the only one being punished.
The only one.
[SCOFFS] So-So is
that what you think of
me? That I'm some
gullible old lady who
No, no, I do not think that.
I am just saying
Here's the truth. Casey begged for help,
but the police told her
that their hands were tied
unless Dallas actually killed her.
They said that out of their mouths
to a victim of domestic assault.
[SIGHS, SCOFFS]
Aunt Mandy, listen. Mandy.
They gave her a restraining order,
which did nothing to prevent him
from sitting in his truck
and watching her.
Casey would be dead right now
if she hadn't killed him first. [SIGHS]
I'll see myself out.
[STAMMERS] Don't go. I'm sorry.
- [DOOR CLOSES]

[SIGHS]
[DRAMATIC MUSIC PLAYS]
Hey, Will.
Dallas's truck was never confiscated.
I'm gonna have it towed
to the impound lot. Meet me there.
Anything new on your uncle?
I saw you check the phone.
[SIGHS] Nope.
[SIGHS] You wanna talk about it?
Not really.
I haven't slept.
Antonio could be dead or worse.
Nobody has any answers.
And I'm digging
through a wife-beater's
truck instead of finding my uncle.
Maybe I did need to talk about it.
Thank you.
You okay?
Not really. This job is [SIGHS]
Yeah.
- It's all split-second decisions.
- And paperwork.
One wrong choice
and your career's on the line,
and then everybody's
judging you harshly.
Amanda mad at you?
Furious.
Well, then let's keep looking.
Yeah.
[GROANS] Oh, I think I got something.
Come on, come on.
[GRUNTS] Got it.
Oh, hello.
All right. Let's get it to Rocky.
- Maybe we can see what Dallas was up to.
- Yeah.
Seymour was right about
Hal living on 12th Street.
Lucky guess.
What about that?
Red flashing light,
delivery truck getting towed.
Lucky guess.
[ANGIE] Sandwich and a pickle.
Seymour's been here. That's all.
You hear that?
[PERSON GRUNTING]
[GROANING]
Strychnine poisoning.
His health, height and weight
delayed the poison's speed.
It caused his muscles to spasm,
probably explains the bruising.
He stumbled off his balcony.
The awning caught him.
He's lucky you guys found him.
Same poisoning as Nikki.
Yeah, Nikki, who's roommates
with Hal's fiancée.
I bet Reba slipped a secret ingredient
into Hal's cookies.
Are you doing
the cookie/sex metaphor again?
This time I mean she poisoned him
because Hal got Nikki pregnant.
Got it. Yep.
Did you find anything
on Dallas's phone we could use?
Uh, incoming call at 9:00 p.m.
He would've still
been in the strip club.
Pearl didn't mention him getting
a phone call. You trace the number?
It was a burner. Sorry.
Well, someone called
and talked to Dallas.
I'm guessing they said something
that triggered him.
So there is something else.
A HomeCam app on the phone
was linked to this address.
- What? Seriously.
- You should've led with that.
Well, I was trying to build suspense.
Why?
This is Casey's house.
Dallas planted a camera to spy on her.
- Anything else?
- I swear to God, Rocky.
Okay. Okay.
Uh, there's a video
of the night he died.
[SIGHS] Give me that.
[GENTLE MUSIC PLAYS]

[MUSIC CONTINUES]
I think we're done.
Reba Matlin, APD.
So many elephants.
- Check the bedroom.
- Okay.
[MICHAEL] Clear!
These are fertility meds she's on.
She's pregnant?
She was. It's dated
a year and a half ago.
So that's what Seymour meant when
he said she was having female trouble.
- [FOOTSTEPS]
- [CLATTERS]
[REBA] What the hell?
- Reba!
- [REBA GASPS]
Reba, stop! APD!
[ANGIE] Reba, stop!
[MICHAEL] APD! Stop!
Reba!
[REBA HUMMING "ROCK-A-BYE, BABY"]
Reba.
[HUMMING CONTINUES]
Reba, it's Detective Angie Polaski.
I need you to step back here by me.
Reba, we found Hal.
He's alive.
Why don't you come down here
and talk to me about it?
What about my baby?
Yeah. Why don't we find somewhere safe,
and you can show me your baby?
Nikki was drinking.
I smelled it on her.
I told her to stop, but she just
But what? Reba, what happened?
I had to make her stop.
I had to.
Nikki didn't deserve to be a mom.
We do. Right?
You
You really wanted to be a mom.
I'm a good mom.
Right, baby? Mommy's here.
[GASPING, GRUNTING]
Okay. I need We
need you to sign this.
Oh, is that what we need?
I can sign
if that's what we're talking about.
Yes, I looked it over. You can
sign them for Detective Ormewood.
I prefer it when you call me Michael.
Take care, Detective.
[PEN SCRATCHING]
I know you don't believe me
about my visions.
Even though they did
help solve your case.
What's your point?
I saw something else.
It's good though. It's
about you. You two.
- Who? Me and Joanne?
- Yep.
Yeah. Okay. Hold on a second.
Go ahead.
You [EXHALES DEEPLY] Joanne.
Looks like a date.
A park with a little bridge.
A bridge? Enota Park?
I guess. Tomorrow at 3:00.
Okay, I'll try to catch her.
Hold on, I can tell you
what foods to pack.
I know how to plan a picnic.
All right, suit yourself.
But bring a blanket.
Of course. What am I, stupid?
I don't know. Visions don't show IQ.
The weather's gonna be perfect.
Joanne will love it. Trust me.
Okay. Thanks.
["LIVING IT UP" PLAYS]
It is over, right?
[WHISPERING] Yes.
[CASEY SIGHS]
And what about you?
All clear.
It's over.
I'm gonna take a quick shower.
You wanna join?
Sure. Just got to check in
with Faith first.
- Okay.
- Okay.
[SLIDING DOOR CLOSES]
[WATER RUNNING]
Hey, you have a charger?
[SIGHS]
Stripper glitter?
[HIP-HOP MUSIC PLAYS]
I'm gonna ask you one more time.
Where can I find Pearl?
I wish I can help.
Her locker was cleared
when I got here for my shift today.
[AMANDA] Where'd Pearl go?
She kept talking about going
to Vegas to be a showgirl.
I didn't realize she meant, like, today.
How long she's been making these plans?
A month.
She got herself a sugar mama.
Gave her 150K to get out of some mess.
I wish I could find me a sugar mama.
You looking?
[MOANS]
[MICHAEL] You're vegan, aren't you?
I am. But this tomato,
I mean, is this heirloom?
It's great. It's like a
It's like a handheld salad.
How about some wine?
I got a great bottle. It's
At least I hope it's great.
It was expensive.
Yeah, maybe later.
I get migraines.
I guess I don't know
how to plan a picnic after all.
You wouldn't happen to have a falafel
in that basket, would you?
Did I screw this up?
Absolutely not.
I'm just glad
you finally called. [STAMMERS]
I was starting to think
maybe that I imagined our
Connection?
No, that was very real. Is very real.
Good.
Oof. Are you cold? It's gotten colder,
right? It's not just me?
No, I'm freezing.
I should have never listened to
You know what? It doesn't matter.
- You wanna go somewhere warm?
- Please.
- [GROANS]
- Okay. All right.
- Take this. [CHUCKLES] Sorry, it's cold.
- [CHUCKLES]
["I DON'T WANT TO MISS A THING" PLAYS]
Hey, keep going, okay? Don't
wait for me. Shield yourself, Joanne.
[LAUGHS]
- Can I get two, please?
- Two falafel?
Yeah. Two falafels, thanks.
- Here you go.
- Here.
- Keep it.
- Thank you.

That's my most favorite song. Like ever.

No, leagues don't exist. Banished.
I like you too.

You are the FBI.
And you're telling me
between your agency and Interpol,
you have no sightings
of Adelaide Trevens?
How about the, uh, the-the kid I met,
The Commander?
Any ID on him yet?
[SIGHS]
Okay. No, no. No, it has not rung yet.
That's my hope as well. Thank you, yep.
[SIGHS]
[WHIMPERS]
[MOVER] Don't worry, boss.
Stuff's ready to go.
[CASEY] That's the last of the books.
Thank
That was fast.
[SIGHS] Needed a new start.
Atlanta's got a lot of memories.
You and Pearl headed to Vegas,
or are you done using her too?
[MOVER] Yeah. Yeah, I got it.
Uh, you guys wanna take a quick break?
Sure. We're almost loaded anyway.
I didn't use you, Amanda.
You knew I was GBI.
You knew I'd understand your pain.
So you invited me here to see
Dallas's violence firsthand.
But it was Pearl who threw the rock
through the window.
Yeah, tell her to ease up
on the glitter next time.
- Let me explain.
- No, no, I got it. [CHUCKLES]
You paid Pearl to manipulate Dallas
and then lied to my agents about it.
Oh, he didn't just up and
leave the club that night.
You called him from a burner phone.
What did you say to make him so upset?
You think that man
ever needed an excuse?
He was gonna kill me eventually.
No one was gonna
stop that, not even you.
Oh, you're trying to justify murder now.
I used what little resources
I had to save my own life.
What we have, it's a good thing.
Nothing that has happened undoes that.
It's all undone.
You lied. You didn't even tell me
you were leaving town.
So what if I did?
What were you gonna do?
I wasn't gonna make you carry this too.
Oh, please. [SCOFFS]
You're leaving now because you care
about what happens to me?
I do. I really
Don't!
Don't. [SNIFFLES]
Unlike you, I have unlimited resources.
I can come after you.
The case is closed, Amanda.
If you reopen it,
you're gonna have to admit
that it happened under your watch.
Think about your reputation.
Your career.
So you think my only options are to
throw away everything I worked for
or to let you get away with this?
I wish we had another option.
Do we?
No.
