The Listener s05e03 Episode Script

Dancing with the Enemy

Watch your spacing.
Stay in line! Music.
Music! Good.
Good.
Stop! Stop.
And that is why she's an understudy and not prima ballerina.
What kind of lazy entrance was that, Natasha? I'm sorry Micah.
I can do better.
Well what are you waiting for, an invitation? Do better, Miss Azarov! We leave for Singapore in 3 days, if you haven't got it by now maybe we should just cancel the whole tour.
Now.
Again, from the beginning.
Go, go, go.
Thanks for this.
Jewel was supposed to meet me in the auditorium about an hour ago.
Yeah, she's been known to keep people waiting.
It's the whole prima ballerina thing - it goes to their heads.
- Oh good, should be fun.
Mrs.
Harper? Tia Tremblay, the reporter.
- We were supposed to meet.
- I don't think she's there.
Ok, let me just call.
Weird.
She never goes anywhere without her phone.
Jewel? Are you in there? Are you ok? We're coming in, Jewel.
Ah! Slow down.
What are you trying to break a record there? What? I'm starving.
Haven't eaten since last night.
I'm so worried about running into Sandy at the hospital that I've been avoiding the cafeteria.
Well I thought you guys ended on good terms? Ish.
I mean, it's still awkward.
It's hard to get over your ex when you're running into her everywhere like the lunchroom, hallways The only place I can be sure I won't see her is the men's room.
Quite frankly people are starting to talk.
You can't avoid her forever, right? Well I know.
Just, um for now I'm happy I got this place.
Cheers to that, brother.
Good for you.
Hey speaking of uncomfortable work situations, - how's the new boss treating ya? - Ah he doesn't trust me.
Honestly I don't know if I trust him, either.
I don't know what the guy's thinking, you know.
You don't know what he's thinking? Do you realize the irony of that statement? - I get it.
- Are you gonna tell him 'bout your ? What? No.
Are you kidding me? I don't know how he's gonna react.
- You don't think he's going to find out eventually? - Toby! - Yeah? - Something's happened.
You ok? - The article I was writing - Yeah, the ballerina thing.
Jewel told me she had information that would bring the entire company down.
When I got there, her dressing room was completely trashed - and she's gone.
- What do you mean, she's gone? She's disappeared.
And I think someone might have done something to her.
- Hey.
- Ian, hey.
- Hey Dev.
- Inspector Becker? Yeah.
Tia Tremblay, Daily Record.
We actually met years ago, - I covered the Hastings story.
- Yes, yeah.
You and your team did an amazing job getting - that kid back home safely.
- Thank you.
I brought Tia in because she's working on a story - about the Northern Skies Ballet.
- Stop.
You're not about to pitch me a case from a reporter, are you? Jewel Harper, the prima ballerina, has gone missing.
That sounds like a Metro case.
Thanks.
They're not lifting a finger for 48 hours.
- That's the procedure.
- Procedure's wrong.
When Jewel Harper contacted me, she told me there was corruption within the company.
and she was scared for her safety.
I show up to do the interview, and her dressing room's completely trashed, she's nowhere to be found and she's left behind her cellphone and her wallet.
Jewel Harper? She's married to the artistic director of the company, right? What? Guys I used to date a ballerina.
Yeah, Micah Canet, he's also the resident choreographer.
So you think someone found out about the interview and was afraid you were going to expose them? The company leaves for Singapore in 36 hours.
We can't afford to wait for Metro to start investigating this.
Solving a high-profile case like this would be really good for the unit.
Ballerinas.
Ok, solve it.
But solve it fast.
Not so bad.
Yeah.
Jewel may be our star dancer Micah, but enough is enough.
She's costing me too much money, too much aggravation.
I agree, but cancel? No.
Natasha will replace Jewel.
Natasha? Jewel will have a fit.
Mr.
Canet? Yes.
We'd like to speak to you about your wife's disappearance.
Ugh.
Ok excuse me.
Can we pick this up later? Come find me.
Like I told the other officers, Jewel's a high-strung, dramatic woman.
She's done this before.
She's disappeared before? Why? Well she loves the attention.
Feeds on it.
She finds that the police are looking for her, she's going to love it even more.
I'm sorry, she's wasting your time.
And her dressing room being trashed? I mean how would you explain that? She's never done that before but it could very likely have been another one of her temper tantrums.
And where does she go during these tantrums? I don't know.
Maybe you should talk to her friend Alya.
We had someone speak to her.
Jewel didn't show up there.
So you had rehearsal here, - yesterday at 5pm? - I did.
Where were you before that? I was in and out with meetings.
Who were those meetings with? I'll have my secretary email you my schedule.
Should I know something here? This is starting to feel a little like an interrogation.
Not at all.
We're just trying to figure out what happened to your wife.
What is your relationship like? Ah, well.
You know, we're passionate people.
So we have our ups and downs.
You're nothing without me.
I made you.
Is that all? - What are you insinuating? - I think that's all for now.
Here's my card.
Please give me a call if you hear anything from your wife.
I will.
Just see.
She'll be back here any second.
This will all just have been another one of her dramas.
I saw them argue.
He was angry.
He was threatening Jewel.
I say we bring him in and sweat him a little bit.
I don't want to make Becker suspicious of how we made the leap.
We need more.
True.
There's no sign of forced entry.
Yeah.
There's some blood over here.
That's a passive spatter.
She cut herself.
Or someone cut her.
On this? And then the blood smeared over here.
Yes.
And someone picked up that vase and and threw it towards this mirror.
There's some blood down here.
Those droplets are pretty large.
Tear-drop shaped.
You can't get that from cutting yourself on glass.
Someone threw something at her to create that splatter.
Lets test both areas of blood.
I bet we'll get two different sets of DNA.
I bet you're right.
I know I'm right.
Hey.
What do you guys have for us? Well what you see here was not done by one person.
There were clearly signs of a struggle.
Any witnesses? Well we've spoken to almost everyone and no one seems to have heard or seen anything.
The assistant stage manager was the last person to see Jewel and that was just before 9am.
And then it wasn't until Toby's girlfriend came in at 7:15 that they realized she was gone.
So this could've happened anytime between 9 and 7.
Dev I need you to check out Micah Canet's alibi.
He says that he was in meetings all day yesterday.
- Ok.
- You guys found her cellphone? Yep.
She texted her friend, Alya.
Said she was scared.
I should be on the list.
Be right back.
- Yeah sorry, I can't - You sure? - Hey! - No access? - Hey.
- What are you doing here? My editor's on me.
He wants me to file a story this afternoon.
Look, I can't tell you anything about this investigation, Tia.
I know.
But, I can print rumours or you know, you can give me something solid to go off.
Come on, Toby.
Can you just at least confirm for me that you're mistaken.
Just, something.
Just a little nod of the head.
- Tell me I'm right.
- Honestly, we still don't know.
Call me in a few hours.
Maybe I can give you something then.
But you know what, I have a question for you actually.
Yeah, nice.
I see how this is going to work.
Did Jewel ever mention that Micah was abusive? No.
But honestly, wouldn't be surprised.
I've been doing a little digging around and there was an incident about a year ago.
No charges were laid, but the police showed up at their house after a 911 call from the neighbours describing what they thought was a pretty serious fight.
That is very interesting.
Thank you.
No, but.
Hey! Ever heard of quid pro quo ? Ok.
Hey, everything ok? Yeah, yeah.
I just, um, I missed you guys.
How's everything going there? We're good.
She's asleep, hence the whispering.
I figured.
You know babe, we're ok.
You don't have to worry about us.
Oh I'm I'm not worried.
I just, I miss her.
Can't I miss her? Yes.
Of course.
- She's here.
- Ok.
I gotta go.
I'll call you later, ok? - Hey Mich? - Yeah? We miss you, too.
We understand this isn't the first time Jewel has disappeared.
Everyone we've spoken to says she's a bit of a diva, that she's done this before.
Like I told the officer back at the theatre, yes.
Sure, Jewel's demanding, but she's a professional.
She would never leave so close to a performance, let alone a tour.
You weren't concerned when you received the text messages from her? Of course I was, but I don't know.
Jewel can be dramatic.
"I'm scared, Alya.
I think he's done with me.
They're pushing me out.
" What does that mean? Pushing her out? Jewel was paranoid a younger dancer was going to come and take her place.
It happens to all of us.
Was that happening to her? Honestly, um Since my early retirement I've stayed clear of all the rumours.
I'm happy to just teach the little ballerinas of tomorrow.
Alright well she wrote "I'm scared.
" What is she referring to? Her husband, Micah? Possibly.
I don't know.
Don't say anything, Alya.
Promise? Did she ever mention if Micah was abusive? I I don't know.
Yeah, well.
Look, I know this is hard.
She's your friend She's my best friend.
We grew up together, we dreamed about dancing together.
Well then you should have her best interests at heart.
Tell us everything.
Did she have an argument with anyone yesterday? Possibly Micah? It's possible.
Yeah.
But I didn't see anything.
But he has hurt her in the past? Yeah he has.
And did she call the police? No.
She was embarrassed to look like a victim.
I mean she'd hate that I told you guys any of this.
She had too much pride.
Hm.
Well.
Oh.
I'll be right back.
So it looks like Micah and Jewel own two cars.
One of which is a black C-class Mercedes and I got a hit of the license plate on a 407 traffic cam.
Where? Well, the car exited at Wilbur highway about an hour north.
That was yesterday at 12:30pm.
And when did it come back on? Well that's the thing.
It didn't get back on the highway.
Well all that's up there are some cottages and Wilbur Park.
Let's get our people patrolling the area.
I was actually going to go up there myself.
Ok Toby and I are almost done here, we'll meet you there.
The car's registered to Micah Canet.
There's blood stains there and there.
All four tires were punctured which more than likely happened when they tried to enter the park.
Park's closed for the off-season there's spike barriers at every entrance.
Well that explains why the car never made it onto the highway.
So how'd the perp get outta here? Walked? Rode? Who knows? Maybe they had a car parked somewhere close by.
Over here you can see a small, minute blood trail.
That leads up to the river.
These boot prints you see here, they belong to the perp.
They go off in that direction - and then they get lost.
- Ok can we get casts made of those? - Of course.
Yeah.
- Thanks.
We found these by the river: - a piece of clothing.
- And a toque.
They Jewel's? We won't know until we get the DNA test results back.
We're still looking for the body.
Becker? Tell me you found her McCluskey, because the media's hounding me for a statement.
Not yet, sir, but this looks like it's more than a missing person's case.
I think we have a homicide on our hands.
Rumours are running wild, Toby.
You've gotta give me something.
Tia, I've been ordered not to speak to the media.
Ok.
So then don't say anything.
You can't get in trouble if you don't say anything.
Can you? Where are you going with this? I'm going to make a statement.
If I'm right, keep quiet.
Simple.
Here we go.
Jewel was abducted from her dressing room.
And you found evidence leading you to believe she was killed.
You heard that from an anonymous source.
- You ok? - I yeah I just feel somewhat responsible if she died because she was gonna talk to me.
Tia, if it wasn't you it would have been another reporter.
- It's not your fault.
- I know.
Go follow your story.
We'll talk later.
The boot print found in the park is a men's size 10.
I should have the cast finished in a few hours.
What about the tooth? A left central incisor or the top front tooth.
It appears to have been extracted with a blunt force to the jaw.
You can see the crack and the chip right here.
Is it Jewel's? We can't be sure but it does match the DNA found in the park and in the dressing room.
However, if you remember, there were two sets of bloody prints in that room.
And only one of them is a match.
Ok, so if we find out who was in Jewel's dressing room maybe we find our killer.
Ok, thanks.
Let's see what we can get out of Micah.
What the hell's going on here? You ask for a sample of my DNA, I said yes.
You keep me locked in this room? When I asked for an explanation not one person can give me an answer.
Mr.
Canet, please.
Have a seat.
I don't have time for this.
My tour for Singapore is days away.
Now where is my wife? What's going on here? Mr.
Canet you need to calm down.
We believe that your wife was abducted and there's a chance that she may have been killed.
What? No, no, no.
Wh Sh she was, wh Jewel disappeared sometime between 9am and 7pm yesterday.
Where were you during that time? I uh.
Wh , I I told you, I I was with a sponsor.
Your assistant gave us your itinerary.
The only thing you had was a meeting with Mr.
Bernard Coss - at 9am.
- Yeah, that's right.
That's right.
Well we spoke to Mr.
Coss and he said that your meeting ended at 10am.
We know that you were at the theatre at 5pm.
So where were you between 10 and 5? I I had lunch.
Um, I did some errands.
Is it possible you were with Jewel, in her dressing room? Or maybe you were somewhere you shouldn't have been? With someone you shouldn't have been with? Are you having an affair? What? - No.
No! Of course not.
- Who's it with? One of the dancers? Maybe Jewel's understudy? - No.
- Natasha.
Is that who it was? Where did that come from? - We have sources.
- I want my lawyer.
Now.
Of course.
Oh, one more thing.
What's your shoe size? We'll make sure that you get your lawyer right away.
Nice work.
Just saw his reaction when you brought up Natasha.
Phew.
It's impressive.
Hundreds of dancers and you got there in 5 seconds.
Yeah well she's someone we should talk to.
Yeah I still think we should hold onto him though.
His alibi is weak, it's the right shoe size.
He's our prime suspect.
But we're gonna need a search warrant for his house.
We need to find those boots.
Ok, I'll start the paperwork.
Ok, great.
I want a copy of this interrogation video sent to me.
Only me.
- Got it? - Yes, sir.
Natasha, we know that you are having an affair with Jewel's husband, Micah.
What? No.
Who told you this? You saw him yesterday, right? No, it is not true.
I was at the theatre.
Lying is only going to get yourself into more trouble.
If anyone finds out I slept with him for the role it will ruin me.
You've got more than your reputation to lose here if you don't cooperate with us.
We know you saw her yesterday.
Come in.
She She invited me to her dressing room.
To talk.
Ah! You're trying to steal my whole life! First my husband, now my career.
Ah! And what time was that? Around 10:30? Where'd you get that cut? Just a scratch from my cat.
So you won't mind giving us a sample of your DNA, then? DNA? Why, what for? Why did I listen to Micah? Do you have any idea who might have done this? No.
I know nothing.
Ok, well I think that's all for now.
- You're free to go.
- Thank you.
I think Micah may have had an accomplice.
Mrs.
Gollnow? Tia Tremblay.
I know as head of the board you must have your hands full right now, but I was hoping I could ask you a few questions.
Tia Tremblay.
Someone passed along the online article you published this afternoon.
You're clearly a fan of sensationalism.
It's the first of a series of articles I plan on publishing, until this matter is resolved.
What can I do for you, Ms.
Tremblay? Jewel claimed there was corruption within the company.
But of course every story has two sides, I'd love to hear yours.
Jewel is hardly qualified to imply that the company is corrupt.
Would you care to elaborate? No.
I do not.
But I am truly deeply saddened, Ms.
Tremblay, by the events that have occurred in the past couple of days.
We here at the ballet consider Jewel to be a part of our family and she will be greatly missed.
It sounds like you've already decided she's dead.
This interview is over.
So where are we on this? Well, if the killer dumped the body in the river, then it could take months to recover it underneath all that ice.
What about our suspects? Well at 11:30pm last night, Jewel sent texts to her friend Alya saying that she was scared.
Micah claims to have last seen her at 7am the next morning.
The assistant stage manager saw Jewel enter her dressing room at 9am.
At 10:30am Natasha Azarov went to the same dressing room where an argument took place.
Yeah Natasha joined the ballet company about a year and a half ago.
Since then she's worked her way up to becoming the understudy.
We believe Natasha is having an affair with the artistic director, Micah Canet.
Who also happens to be Jewel's husband.
We suspect that Natasha and Micah were together between the hours of 11am and 5pm.
Which neither will admit to.
So sounds like Micah and Natasha are each other's alibi.
I mean, did they kill her together? Well we only found the one set of male bootprints at the park.
So the likelihood that Natasha was there is slim at best.
Thank you.
Ok, here we go.
As you can see, the wear marks on the tread are almost exactly like Micah's boots.
Well that puts Micah at the park.
Well, maybe not.
I made this from the boot prints that we found in the snow.
It does show the same wear patterns as Micah Canet's boots.
But the depth of the imprint tells a different story.
Micah weighs approximately 175lbs.
The person wearing these boots weighs at most 120.
So Micah didn't make the boot prints.
Someone was framing him.
Could it be Natasha? Natasha kills Jewel and then frames her lover? Why? What's the motive? Let's bring her in and find out.
Ok.
Your DNA tests came back, Natasha.
Those scratches on your arm, they came from Jewel.
Yes.
You didn't just go to her room to talk, did you? You wanted to be prima ballerina - so you killed her to make that happen.
- No.
Oh my God.
What if I did? And then you framed the man you were having an affair with because you were afraid he would find out.
- No! - You can't lie to us.
We're gonna prove that you dragged her body into that river.
No! I wouldn't I wouldn't kill anyone.
I didn't mean to hurt her, please.
I didn't mean to hurt her.
So Jewel and Natasha had a fight in the dressing, that much we know.
But if she killed her, I don't think it was premeditated.
I mean she practically admitted to it.
Eh, I believe her when she said she isn't sure, and when you asked her if she dumped the body in the river, I saw confusion and surprise on her face.
You think someone else moved the body? Well, let's look at the time frame here.
I mean, let's say it's true that Natasha and Micah had a rendez-vous that afternoon.
Did she drive up North to dump the body before or after that? See I don't think she had enough time to do it all and get back for rehearsals.
- Ok, so we keep looking.
- She's our prime suspect right now.
Yeah, I know, we keep her.
But Toby's right.
We're gonna need more.
Ok.
But you're running out of time.
Since your girlfriend's story was published, the phone's been ringing off the hook.
Everyone's screaming for a statement.
Can only hold them off so long.
We're on it.
Ok, so what did you see exactly? I saw a fight in the dressing room.
Jewel went down, looked like she wasn't moving.
You think she killed her? I don't know.
I saw Natasha running out of there and you know, as for the park, I don't think Natasha was there.
Ok well the boot casts take Micah off the table.
Now without him or Natasha, who does that leave us with? Another person in the park weighing under 120lbs.
I think we need to speak to everyone in that troop again.
When Jewel contacted Tia, she mentioned something about corruption, right? Maybe this goes back to the company.
Yeah.
- I'll speak to Tia.
- Ok.
Look Mich, she's lifting her head for the first time.
Miss you.
Hey.
How was your day? It was ok.
What about you? Any, - any breaks? - Ah, look.
I know that you brought us the case and that you have a job to do just like the rest of us.
But you can't tell me anything about the case, I know the drill.
That doesn't mean you can't tell me if you know something.
Honey, if you want intel from me, it's gonna cost you.
Honey, are you extorting me? Well, this is what you get when you mix business with pleasure babe.
- What do you want? - An exclusive.
Done.
Only after the case is solved.
Deal.
Ok, I got something.
I went to see Susan Gollnow today.
The head of the board.
It was the way she spoke about Jewel.
Like, she seemed to imply she was dirty.
I don't know but, maybe you'd want to read her.
'Cause she's definitely hiding something.
That's a good tip.
- Thank you.
- Don't forget.
- Quid pro quo.
- You will get the exclusive.
Good.
I'm so sorry to keep you waiting.
Ah! No, no problem.
Please sit down.
I just have a few more questions about Jewel.
There's really nothing I haven't already told the police.
Well you see, I'm more curious about your relationship with her.
Our relationship? Couldn't have been better.
Unless you count the fact she made my life hell.
See, 'cause I heard that there's some animosity between the two of you.
What? Don't believe everything you hear, Mr.
Logan.
Dancers like to talk.
Jewel was a kind, compassionate person.
See that's not consistent with what I've been told.
I'm not sure what to tell you, she was loved by everyone.
You get Alya out, or I'll have you kicked off the board immediately.
Goodnight! Then I guess my information about Alya King, her best friend, is wrong.
Alya? What did you hear about her? Just that Jewel got her pushed out.
No.
Not true.
Susan, I understand your hesitation.
We're just trying to find out what happened to Jewel.
Everything helps.
Alya had been prima ballerina for less than a year and then Jewel forced my hand.
And you just listened to her? Jewel had the board of directors in her pocket.
She was going to have me kicked off the board if I didn't agree to make her the lead dancer.
Was Alya aware that Jewel was behind it? I don't know, Mr.
Logan.
Maybe? Alya King.
Maybe she found out that Jewel got her removed as prima ballerina and wanted revenge.
They were best friends, right? She probably had access to her car, her home Yeah, and guess who just happens to own a cottage about 30 minutes away from where we think the body was dumped? - Alya King.
- Let's go pick her up.
- Did you find anything? - Maybe.
This looks pretty fresh.
Is that rubber? Hm.
It's probably the boot.
What's this? It's a piece of fabric from Jewel's costume.
No.
I, I know Jewel and she wouldn't push me out.
It was all Micah, he's the one who forced me out.
But you still blamed Jewel, didn't you? No.
We were best friends.
Yes, I was a little bit jealous.
But prima ballerinas come and go.
I had my time and it was over.
Do you spend much time at your cottage? Sure, it's been in my family since I was a kid.
What does my cottage have to do with anything? We found traces of Jewel's blood and some of her clothing burnt in your fireplace.
What are you trying to say? Did you kill her? No! Oh my God they think it's me.
Where were you that day, Alya? No one at the ballet saw you 'til 3pm.
I w , I w , I was at home.
Can anyone confirm that? No.
I never hurt her.
Not ever.
I swear I didn't kill her.
Ok.
Alya is telling the truth, she didn't kill Jewel.
You're kidding me, right? She's got the motive.
She's the right weight to make those footprints in the snow.
She's got no alibi and the boots and Jewel's clothes were found burnt at her cottage.
I understand how this looks.
But I've got a feeling that she didn't.
Feelings don't convict criminals.
Evidence does, Logan.
And it's piled up against her.
So make the arrest.
Please.
You know, Tia.
I, I love that our relationship has gotten to the point where you feel just like, super comfortable just setting up shop here and using my gastro-pub as your home office, but you look like you're with the board of health or something.
You know what I mean? I know, I'm sorry Oz.
It's just, I'm just trying to find a break in this story.
She was convinced that the ballet company was dirty but I haven't found anything.
Ok well I can't really offer you a break in the story, but how 'bout a break from the story? - Turkish appetizer platter on the house? - I would love it.
Yeah that's great, make that two.
Hey! Ok but yours, you have to pay for, - I got bills.
- Whatever, - Pretty face discount, this one.
- It's fine.
I heard you brought Alya King in.
There's no way she's guilty.
Ok I may not read minds, but I can tell that this woman is not a killer.
I know.
I read her.
She didn't do it.
But without any hard evidence, I can't convince Becker.
Go back to Micah.
All the research I've done, it's all pointing towards him.
I got a hold of Jewel's health records.
As soon as Micah and Jewel were married, her trips to the hospital went from nonexistent to way too frequent.
Broken fingers, black eye, she had a cracked rib on her honeymoon.
Well that doesn't prove that he's a killer.
Last month while on tour in Paris, he knocked her tooth out.
Alya had to take Jewel to the hospital for emergency dental work.
Jewel claimed it was because she had bitten into an apple.
Really? Biting into an apple? Which tooth? You're missing the point.
She clearly didn't bite into an apple.
No, Tia.
Which tooth? Um The front, top left one.
Why? Hey, Michelle, meet me at the office.
I think I know what happened to Jewel.
Alright, see you there.
Thank you.
Hey, hey, hey, hey! Hey! Wait, did I just give you another tip? What is this? You knew Jewel was beaten.
I didn't think it had anything to do with her disappearing.
You were there the night she got her tooth knocked out in Paris.
What are you saying? You stay away from her.
It's ok, shh.
We're going to get you to the hospital, ok? It was her front left tooth.
This is also her front left tooth.
We found this in the backseat of her car out by the river.
What? - What are you saying? - Did you do something to her, Alya? No.
I don't know what you're talking about.
I can't take it anymore.
He's killing me.
I want to be free.
You'd tell us if you knew what happened to her, wouldn't you? Yes.
'Course I would.
Oh, I could live here forever.
Oh, me too! Ok.
We can't hold you any longer.
You're free to go.
We'll be in touch.
- Better be right about this, Logan.
- I am.
Otherwise we just let a possible murderer go free.
I'm right.
I know I am.
Why? How did you find me? When I figured it out, what you had done, I knew you'd come here.
I, I didn't think you'd remember.
Car broke down just over there, right? This is the B&B we had to stay at while they fixed the engine.
And you said "So this is what freedom feels like.
" "To be in a place where nobody knows or cares who you are.
" He was killing me, Lee.
This would be my new beginning.
I stay here until things quiet down until my face isn't in the news anymore.
And then I make my way down south.
Start my new life.
But throw away everything? Your career? Your, your friends? Your entire life? It wasn't a life, Alya.
So you frame Micah, Natasha, you even implicated me.
They were never supposed to suspect you, Lee.
You went to my cottage to hide the evidence.
Of course they suspected me.
I did what I had to do.
Jewel, this is crazy.
You're never going to get away with this.
Is that a threat? Are you going to try to stop me? Because I won't let you, Alya.
I've come too far.
Hey! Jewel, stop right there.
- It's over.
- There's nowhere to go.
We know everything.
- You only know half the story.
- We know about the abuse.
What Micah did to you was horrible, but there are other things you could've done.
Like what? Call the police? He would've sat in jail for a night.
No.
He needs to suffer for what he did to me.
For every slap, - every punch.
- Jewel, I'm so sorry.
- I should have done someth - Look what you have done.
No one can help me.
Jewel, drop the gun.
You know I bought this to use on Micah.
Jewel, don't do it.
Don't throw your life away.
It's too late.
It's too late.
No, no, no.
It's not too late.
- It's never too late.
- I've lost everything.
You haven't lost, Jewel.
But if you pull that trigger, Micah wins.
He's not worth it.
You can't let him get away with what he's done to you.
Put the gun down.
- It's gonna be ok.
- Put the gun down.
So what is that now? Adultery, innocence, guilt.
Man there's no limit to what you can read in someone's face, is there? So what's going to happen to Jewel now? Well, she's looking at doing time, that's for sure.
Framing someone for murder is not your run-of-the-mill fraudulent act.
Well she was in a desperate situation.
I'm sure the courts will take that situation into account.
Mmhm.
I gave all of the files about Micah's abuse to Metro, so he's not going to get off that easy, either.
Nicely done.
Everyone.
What's this? Everything ok? Yeah, it's just Adam.
He keeps sending me these photos and videos of Carrie's big milestone moments.
Makes me realize what I'm missing.
So in your ideal, perfect world, Carrie would only have these milestone moments on weekends? - Nights off? - Exactly.
Ok.
Alright.
Thanks for sitting down with Tia, by the way.
- It's a big story for her.
- 'Course.
Hi.
- Hey.
- Hey.
Didn't hear you come in.
- Hey, beautiful.
- Hi.
Hey, did you get my texts? I did, yeah.
Um, I need to ask you something.
And I think it's going to sound silly and selfish, but Ok.
Can you stop sending me photos and videos of Carrie's big moments? The little stuff and the cute stuff, that's totally fine.
But the big moments, not so fine.
Just thought you'd want to see it when it was happening.
I know, I know I'm going to miss out on some of her big moments, but seeing it all on my cellphone for the first time it just, you know, kinda breaks my heart.
So maybe when I get home, I can see it for the first time then.
Is that ridiculous? No.
I get it.
- You do? - Come here.
- I mean I should have known.
- No, no, no, no.
It was a cry for help and I never saw it coming.
No one could have seen that coming, Tia.
But I should have done my research, maybe I could have helped her.
Look, she was using you.
Your interview was a part of her plan to frame Micah.
I just can't, can't imagine what state of mind she would have been in to do what she did.
Did you file your story? My editor already called.
- AP is picking up the story.
- Hey! Cheers to you.
Cheers to that.
Cheers to you for getting me the exclusive.
Mmm.
Quid pro quo, right? We make a pretty good team.
We should do it more often, don't you think? Nope.
Don't think.
Bad idea.
Working with an ex-girlfriend or girlfriend? Not advisable.
You're gonna get your love of feet back in no time, buddy.
Time shmime.
Hey Anastasia.
- No, I'm taking action my friend.
- What'd you do? - What did I do? - Yeah.
I took a 6 month leave of absence from the hospital.
Plunging all my energy into this place.
You serious? I could not be seriouser, my friend.
- More serious.
- Exactly.
This way I don't have to see Sandy, it's a win-win.
Well, here's to doing what we love.
Natasha? Is that who it was? Where did that come from? Natasha? Is that who it was? Where did that come from? Natasha? Is that who it was? Where did that come from? How the hell does he know that?
