Endgame (2011): Season 1, Episode 4 - The Other Side of Summer - full transcript

Steven: You played well.

I suck Dad, don't lie.

What are you talkin' about?

You stopped six shots.

Let in two.

Ah, come on.

Steven.

Happy anniversary, 20 years today.

Who's that?

What's your hurry?

Just wanna talk.



Maisie: Dad?

About the same age Kim
was when she was murdered.

Who's Kim?

Get in the car, Maisie.

It's time you paid for that.

Dad, call the cops.

Get in the car.

I am a cop.

Four more days.

After that, I don't
know what I'm gonna do.

(pleasant music)

Oh Bobby, didn't think I would make

the same mistake twice, did you?

Oh yes, well prepare for
the maelstrom, geezer.



A maelstrom is just a minor error, Bobby,

and I can come back with
a hurricane of my own.

Oh yeah, well look at this!

Oh, your knight sacrifice.

It's so 1956.

(person knocking)

Okay!

What's the big dessert emergency?

Did you even taste it?

Hm, yes, with my eyes.

It is inedible.

It is a modern re-imagining
of an antiquated dessert!

It is a culinary catastrophe,
drowned in red syrup!

Raspberry coulee!

Raspberry coulee, I should've
known the Russian pashka

was beyond your Macedonian imaginations.

Stick to baklava!

Keep it down!

(speaks in foreign language)

Hey, go back to work!

(speaks in foreign language)

Oh, I need you.

You need me?

I need a drink.

Just, whoa chess boy,
wait, wait, wait, wait.

I gotta talk to you, hold on.

Look, my buddy Walt Varga is retiring.

They rented a ballroom,
I'm giving a speech.

Oh what a thoughtful
gift, an oratorical assault.

Walter's a good cop,

but he's been messed
up over this old case.

I'm afraid he's starting to lose it.

Touching.

Yeah well, 20 years
ago a girl disappeared.

Body was never found, but
Walt knows who killed her,

a guy named Steven Abramyk.

Excellent.

Well here's what he should do, arrest him.

Well he never had enough
evidence to charge him,

but he would never let it go.

Now that he's about to hand in his badge,

I'm worried he's gonna
do something stupid.

From the thorn bush comes forth a rose.

Thank you, Arkady.

Okay Walt just needs
one piece of evidence

to put this Steven guy away.

One he's been unable
to find in 20 years.

Yeah, and I was thinkin' that

maybe that twisted brain of yours

could come up with something
we might've missed.

Oh!

5,000 a day, plus expenses.

I can't pay you.

Danni, would you tend the bar for free?

No.

Free doesn't pay the rent.

The rent in this gulag is exorbitant.

A favor.

Favor's are good.

Favor is sometimes better than cash.

Pen?

A substantial favor,
to be determined by me,

when the time comes.

A substantial favor.

(pleasant music)

(crowd cheering)

(siren wailing)

Hugo: Kim Charland.

Beautiful, smart, good family.

Why are you so convinced
Steven Abramyk killed her?

He was already on
probation for vandalism, B&E,

shoplifting, scum, just like his old man.

He and Kim dated on and off.

The night Kim disappeared, they
were at a party in the park.

Steven lured her down to the river.

He told you he never saw
Kim after leaving the party.

We went to talk to
him, we found the clothes

he was wearing that
night, covered in bleach.

He was trying to get Kim's blood out.

So, fantastic, the
lab detected her blood

under the bleach, and that's
all the proof we need.

Well the clothes never
actually made it to the lab.

No.

Oh, Hugo, this sounds like
your crack police work.

Are you sure you weren't on this case?

That's very funny.

You gonna help us, or not?

We have a deal, please.

Just as Steven was admitting
he took Kim to the river,

his mother stumbled in, raging alcoholic.

She lied, said he came home

to help her with housework, laundry.

You interrogated a
minor without his parents?

He just started talking.

Prosecutor said it was all inadmissible.

When I came back with a search warrant,

the clothes were gone.

So that is why you're
holding onto this?

Because of your big mistake?

I looked into Steven's
eyes, and I saw a killer.

I know it in my gut.

Oh.

Police and their prodigious guts.

So, so where are we gonna start?

Well, I'm going to
watch some quality TV

while you gentlemen leave my suite.

I will be in touch.

(dramatic music)

Sam.

Hey Mr. Balagan, I'm just playing.

Get me Steven Abramyk.

Okay, who?

Arkady: Hugo will explain.

Narrator: 1991, it was Thanksgiving,

and the teens of this
small, close knit community

were happy to be home from college.

But 18 year old Kim Charland

would never make it back to campus.

So this is the village.

It's like a small town inside the city.

Nobody ever thought something
like this could happen here.

That's where Kim worked part-time.

(Sam knocking)

Maisie: Hello?

Hi, I'm Sam Besht.

I'm with Grandmaster Arkady Balagan.

We're atheists, thanks anyways.

Oh no, we're not,

he's a former world champion chess player,

and he's wicked at puzzles,

and he just wants to talk to you

about the murder of Kim Charland.

I said everything 20 years ago.

Is this what that psycho
cop was talking about?

If you change your mind, he's
penthouse one, Huxley Hotel.

Do people think you killed someone?

Come on.

This right here is where they found

her bloodstained sweater, and
they never found her body.

I like to come down here and remember her.

Narrator: Lisa Jarvis
never got to say goodbye

to her best friend Kim.

You know, we made
that show five years ago,

but people still come
up to me in the mall.

Sure.

Like I was telling
Sam, everyone loved Kim.

The whole town died when she disappeared.

But, I was her best friend,

so I kinda died more.

This is my yearbook.

You should totally read what Kim wrote.

She was so sweet.

Why do you believe
Steven Abramyk killed her?

He was so mean to her.

She was always crying on my shoulder.

(rock music)

Oh my god, this outfit is so cute!

I love the 90s.

Oh, right, so anyway, Steven took off

and Kim was really upset.

Why didn't you call me back?

I left you 10 messages.

You're gonna be sorry.

Whatever.
Shut up!

Up yours.

He just wanted to talk to me.

Maybe I should go...

Oh, no.

You're not going anywhere
with that burnout.

That guy scares me.

Come on, this party's tight!

Boy: Woo!

So later, you left the party alone.

That's what everybody says.

But why didn't you take
your best friend with you?

What are you hiding?

If you thought Steven was so dangerous,

why didn't you leave with Kim,

make sure she got home safely?

Well, how was I supposed
to know he'd kill her?

You knew she was upset.

Why no late night girl talk?

I thought you said you two
were close, right Danni?

Maybe you should talk to someone

who knew Kim a little bit better.

Clearly you've
exaggerated your relationship

with the dead girl, it's my mistake.

No, wait.

Okay, well,

the reason I didn't see Kim leave

is cause I was at the river.

I saw Steven there on his motorcycle,

right where Kim's sweater was found.

That's how I know he did it.

So why didn't you tell the
police about this 20 years ago?

Or mention it in the TV show?

Well, I was with my sister's boyfriend.

She married him, so,

but no, it's fine, they're divorced now.

No no, but still I'd appreciate
it if you didn't tell her,

'cause that would be bad for me.

I have no intention of
speaking to anyone related to you.

My dad wouldn't talk
to you cause he did it.

He killed her.

Mr. Balagan, this is
Maisie, Steven's daughter.

It all suddenly makes sense.

He's completely obsessed
with true crime stories,

he's convinced I'm gonna be
murdered if I go anywhere alone.

We've moved like six
times since I was born.

Whoa.

Nice digs.

None of that means that your father...

He forbid me to talk to you.

Why would he care if he was innocent?

Because I'm a stranger
in a strange hotel.

I always wondered why he
never talked about his past.

Now I know.

He killed a girl.

You see all this?

The police have tried for 20 years

to build a case against
your father, and failed.

Maisie: Oh my god!

Sam: Maybe you shouldn't.

Steven Abramyk.

Arkady: That was your father's name.

He changed it to MacDonald in 93.

(phone rings)

My name isn't even my name?

What?

This is Steven MacDonald.

Is my daughter Maisie with you?

Is that my dad?

I'm not here.

She says she's not here.

Don't let him up.

I'd like to speak to you.

Well then come up to my suite, please.

Why would you do that?

He says he's here to talk.

He's lying!

He lies all the time.

I like lies.

They often reveal more than truth.

(Steven knocking)

Mr. MacDonald, Arkady Balagan.

Can I offer you something,
coffee or tea or brewski?

Steven: Got nothin' to say to you.

I'm not, I'm not going with you.

What the hell is this?

I've been hired to prove
you killed Kim Charlan.

Have a seat.

Let's go.

Why won't you just talk to him?

I'm just as happy proving
you didn't kill Kim Charlan.

If you didn't do it,
why not let him help you?

What are you hiding?

Let's go!
Don't touch me!

You killed a girl, I hate you!

Maisie!

Maisie: Go to hell!

What'd you tell her?

She came to her own conclusions.

Like hell!

(pleasant music)

Thank you, Danni.

Can I offer you something
to settle your nerves?

Yeah.

Double Crown rocks, please.

I'm sorry.

When it come to Maisie I...

Arkady: You lose your
temper easily, yes I see.

Hotel narc, three o'clock.

Steven Abramyk.

He assault you?

Astute as always, Hugo.

Nice.

But guest security is my priority,

so if you'd like to come with me.

Oh, brilliant tactic.

Toss him out before I have
a chance to talk to him.

That's good.

Please, my spot.

Don't forget your purse.

Thank you, there you go.

So, after you were kicked out
of the party, did you see Kim?

No.

Went home and did laundry with my mom.

(Arkady laughs)

Really?

I didn't kill Kim.

So who did?

How the hell should I know?

I'm sure you've thought about it.

It was Brad.

His dad and Kim's dad
worked at the same firm.

All the parents thought that
they'd make the perfect couple.

Are arranged marriages common
here in this backwater, or?

He had a thing for Kim.

She wasn't into him.

So Brad was jealous of you?

Yeah, he was pissed off at the world.

Spring break, he got
wasted, wrecked his knee

jumping off a roof
tryin' to impress a girl.

Lost his basketball scholarship.

So he's an angry young man.

That doesn't make him any
more of a killer than you are.

He had every hot girl, except for Kim.

If he couldn't have her, no one could.

So did you share this

theory with the police?

Of course.

Walt Varga already made up
his mind that I was guilty.

He wouldn't listen.

(upbeat music)

Wait, wait, wait, wait.

(Arkady sighs)

Would've been faster to fly to Moscow.

Hey, so Mr. Balagan,

I was going over the case notes.

I ordered the pashka,
not a flower arrangement.

There's no Brad Harvey in Walt's notes.

I said there's no Brad
Harvey in Walt's notes.

Nice work, Sam.

Steven and Lisa both said

that Kim spent a lot of time with Brad.

So why didn't Walt mention him?

(gentle piano music)

He must've known Brad bought Ed's shop.

I can't even get down to the river,

forget throwing a body in it.

Poor guy couldn't have killed Kim.

It's just Steven's lame attempt

to pin the murder on his rival.

He had the whole team
to do whatever he asked.

He was the captain.

I'll tell ya how it is.

Brad isn't jealous of that burnout.

Steven's jealous of Brad.

He hates how much time Brad
and Kim spend together.

I never liked Brad, not in that way.

And my parents wanted me
to date him, but come on.

Brad was a total pretty boy.

I can have any chick I want.

We need to speak with this Brad.

Sure, I can go tomorrow.

Well Sam, obviously he's a Casanova.

You want me to wear heels?

Or we can send Danni.

You get
everything out of the room?

Oh!

Sorry.
Pardon.

I thought Mr. Balagan sent that back.

He did.

George!

How do you put up with that Russian?

He has a good heart.

Ah, he tips you well.

I think you try too hard.

I won the silver medal at
(speaks in foreign language)!

He wants what he remembers

as a boy, the way his mother made it.

What, cheap vanilla
extract and Soviet era flour?

Now listen, you come by the
kitchen before you leave, okay?

I have some sweets for your granddaughter.

Cleaner: You are a kind man, George.

(knocking)

Go away.

Hey.

My friends suck.

I had to leave Rebecca's.

Her parents came home from the cabin,

and she wasn't supposed
to have anybody over.

Didn't you tell Rebecca

about the situation with your father?

Yeah, but her parents are mean.

Look, I can't deal with my dad right now,

and my mom lives 10 hours away.

Can I please just crash here?

You won't even know I'm here!

It's not like I'm gonna party.

Yes, I need a room.

For a guest.

Even one of your closets.

Inexplicably, people
still choose to stay here.

Every room is booked.

She'll have to stay with you.

Eight engineers and a New
Zealand ultimate team crashing.

It's not gonna work.

That's okay, I'm good.

Lisa: Oh this used
to be Village Ice Cream.

Ed had crazy flavors like
honey lavender and green tea.

I'm going swimming.

(Arkady humming)

This is where the party was that night.

I never thought it would
be the last time I saw Kim.

I thought we were going to lunch.

I just wanna talk to him.

Two minutes.
Walt.

Real nice setup you got here, don't ya?

Fixing her up for your daughter?

Kim's parents were gonna
surprise her with a car

when she came home from
college, you know that?

You get off my property.

What kind of life do
you think Kim would've had,

a smart girl like that?

Probably graduates top of her class,

becomes a doctor, gets
married, couple of kids.

That what you want for Maisie?

This is harassment.

It's gonna be tough
for her when you're gone.

Are you threatening me?

I know what a threat is, Steven.

I didn't threaten you.

You wasted 20 years on me,

instead of finding Kim's killer!

How many divorces, two, three?

You're right, I have
wasted too much time.

Hugo: Walt!

Say it, say it was you.
Put the gun down.

Back off, Hugo!

No, we got a plan, remember?

Okay, just stick to the plan.

Tell me how you bashed
her head with a rock,

how you threw her body in the river!

What difference does
it make what I say to you?

Got one more day to
bust him, Walt, okay?

Just hold on, we'll nail him.

I promise you that, just put the gun away.

Come on.

Let's do it, that's right.

Don't let him win.

One more day!

Walt!

You ruined my life!
Back off!

(gentle music)

No, no!

What are you doing?

I'm in the middle of a game.

With yourself?

Arkady: With Bobby Fischer.

Isn't he dead?

Yes, he's dead and we're playing

his 1956 match with Donald Byrne.

Game of the century, Fischer was 13.

But you know how it turned out.

He trounced Byrne in 41 moves.

I made a different choice
at a critical point

in the middle game to see
what could have happened.

You see?

I don't get it.

It's like this cop didn't even ask

if anyone else could've done it.

Walt Varga came up
with his own hypothesis

and set out to prove it.

He wasn't interested in alternatives.

But that's so unfair!

The whole town was against my dad.

Of course they were gonna say it was him.

So now you think he's innocent?

Yeah!

No, okay, I don't know.

I don't think my dad could
kill someone now, but,

when he was 18?

Pippa: Hey, Ark.

Arkady: Pippa.

So, you're not gonna believe this.

You would not believe what I believe.

You know I've been trying
to track this guy down, right?

Well, the police have had
him locked up for six weeks.

What guy?

The arsonist.

Jason says he set the fire
that killed the witness

to Rosemary's murder.

That was not a witness, a KGB spotter.

Who is Jason?

Jason Evans, the homicide
detective assigned to...

Oh, Jason now is he?

Now remind me again, he's handsome,

and single, big feet?

Thanks Brad, see you later.

Man: Thanks for the ice cream, man.

I used to hang out here all the time

back when it was Village Ice Cream.

Yeah.

Then I bought it from Ed in 99,

went the gelato route.

It's more European.

Tripled the profits within the first year.

Really?

What's your book called?

"Murder by the River."

Ouch, you need something catchier.

Trust me, I'm like the
Einstein of marketing.

So, you saw Kim the
night that she disappeared?

I was stoned on painkillers
and probably a case of beer.

Don't put that in your book.

Ha, no.

And, and then Steven showed up

at the park where the party was?

Oh yeah, we threw him out

on his face.

You were jealous that
Kim chose him over you?

Oh please, Kim wasn't my type.

Oh, I heard that you weren't hers.

Well that doesn't
matter much now, does it?

Are you married?

If we weren't looking into

Rosemary's murder, no one would be.

How did this get to be our job?

They didn't know her.

(gentle music)

Arkady, hey, sorry is this a bad time?

No, of course not.

Hey Pippa.

Okay, this is Brad.

Ah.

Ah!

High school was Brad's
biggest achievement, yes?

Yes, and he's overcompensating

for the fact it's been
downhill ever since,

but if he did kill Kim,
he's a really good actor.

He's had 20 years to polish his act.

Well, Brad's a liar and a dick,

but I did not get a danger vibe from him.

He's about as scary as a glass of milk.

Okay.

Hey you, kids.

You're dripping that stuff
all over the floor, look.

Where are your par...

(elevator dings)

Hey!

Hey, Abramyk, yeah you.

You better not be bringing any trouble.

Your buddy's the one
who pulled a gun on me.

And I stopped him,
and I'll stop you too

if you get outta hand.

Come in.

Not you.

Hey, I'm head of guest
security, all right?

Protecting your right to life,
liberty, and security, so.

Good, well secure the
other side of my door.

Today, Sherlock, please!

Fine.

Good comeback.

Hugo: Whatever.

So Walt threatened you with a gun.

Why didn't you call the police?

Because they're useless,
of course, never mind.

Is Maisie here?

She wants to believe you're innocent,

but all she has is Walt Varga's version.

Maisie: What do you want?

Come home.

Not until you stop lying.

How are we supposed to help you

if you won't tell us anything?

Lisa Jarvis says she
saw you by the river.

Lisa?

No.

She was there with
her sister's boyfriend.

After I left the party,

I waited for Kim.

We walked down to the river.

She broke up with me,

said she was in love with someone else.

Who?

She wouldn't say.

I got mad.

I pushed her.

I know how awful it sounds.

It's the way it was with us.

Used to get physical.

You stupid slut!

I'm sorry, I'm sorry.

Don't you ever, ever,
ever, touch me again!

I'm sorry, stop it!
Let go of me!

Tell me, tell me who it is.

Tell me who it is!
Get away from me!

Kim!

I'll find him, I'll find you!

You were not on your motorcycle.

No, it was at my buddy Jerry's.

He was helping me rebuild it.

And where was Kim going?

What was in that direction?

The village.

Arkady: You?

I was going to steal bleach.

To cover up Kim's
blood on your clothes.

No!

Look, I was 18, I was pissed off.

I wanted to blow something up.

So I stole bleach and drain crystals.

Sodium hypochlorite and aluminum.

Used to do it all the time.

(pleasant music)

(explosion booms)

See?

Bleach stains.

So why throw away your clothes?

Lab tests would have detected

that there was no blood on them.

I didn't throw them
away, my mom burned them.

She didn't even ask them
how I got the bleach on em.

She was afraid of the answer.

She thought I did it,
just like everybody else.

So why didn't you just
tell the cops the truth?

That I was stealing and throwing bombs?

I was already on probation.

I would've gone to jail anyway.

That cop wasted 20 years screwing me,

instead of doing his job.

Never even found Kim's body.

Tell them my dad didn't do it.

We have a witness who saw
your father down by the river

where Kim's sweater was found.

Lisa's lying.

Talk to my friend Jerry, he'll tell ya.

I couldn't have been on
my motorcycle that night.

(phone beeps)

Hey, breaker breaker old buddy.

You left your security
gack upstairs, over.

Sam?

10-4, boss.

Find this Jerry, talk to him.

(somber music)

(elevator dings)

Thank you.

Well your name is no
clearer than when we first met.

It is to Maisie, and
that's all that matters to me.

Cop: Steven MacDonald,
you're under arrest

for the murder of Kim Charlan.

What?
Come on.

Hey get off of me!

You're under arrest, sir.
Hey that's my dad!

It's okay, it's okay!

Don't touch him, he didn't do it.

Maisie, calm down.

Arkady: You have no evidence.

Oh I got plenty, thanks to you.

Come on...

Hugo, this is a mistake.

I knew that fat head of
yours would figure this out.

You found Walt an eyewitness,

and got Steven to admit
his alibi was a lie.

Nice job, Arkady.

We were listening.

You know anything you wanna do

for that IOU, it'll be worth it.

Oh, maybe you could send Sam
down with the case notes.

Maisie, Maisie, Maisie.

Mr. Balagan, I talked
to Steven's friend Jerry

and it's true, the motorcycle

was in a zillion pieces in his garage.

Hard to believe, but Hugo
made a cunning move, didn't he?

Well, you did do what he asked.

You found what Walt
needed to charge Steven,

and you did it before
Walt could shoot him,

so problem solved I guess.

Walt Varga is making
the same mistake he made

20 years ago, but this
time I'm playing the game.

Where did Kim go after
fighting with Steven?

The heritage area, what did
Maisie call it, the village.

Why?

All the shops would've been closed,

and it was not on her way home.

I don't even know who Kim was.

Lisa and Walt say she
was a girl next door,

but according to Steven
she was a wild child.

She's just memories projected on her

by the people she left behind.

This is what happens to the dead.

(gentle music)

Hey.

I've been waiting for you.

You do know my dad's still in jail, right?

Sorry about your father.

I should've known that
idiot security guard

would've played cop.

He claims he used to be one.

Well, what are we gonna do to prove

my dad didn't do it now?

When you asked me if you
could stay here, you lied.

You were not kicked
out of Rebecca's house.

How do you know?

Rebecca's parents
would've been sympathetic

to what you learned about your father.

What were you really doing?

I was with my boyfriend.

Ah, so after your traumatic experience

you sought comfort in a boy's
arms, perhaps Kim did too.

If you believe she had a boyfriend.

We only have Steven's word.

What would make you keep your lover

a secret from everyone?

Even your best friend?

I had a friend who wouldn't tell anyone

about her boyfriend cause he was married.

She told you.

Yeah, cause I said I wouldn't tell.

Arkady: You told me.

You think Kim dumped
my dad for a married guy?

Well who would be the
married man in Kim's life?

Maybe one of her teachers?
Friend's dad?

What about her boss?

She was on her way to the village

when she left Steven, yeah?

She had a part-time job at a bakery.

Maybe she was meeting her boss

for a little roll in the dough.

Sam, find out.

(radio crackles)
(sirens chirping)

Pippa: Jason!

Hey, Pippa, look I'm just heading out.

Look, the arsonist you've got locked up

didn't set the fire
that killed the spotter.

All these yuppies' palaces sure,

but this one's a crack shack.

I think whoever did kill the spotter

was trying to make it look
like the firebugs were.

Hey whoa, Pippa, you know what?

Just stop.

Whoever killed my
sister is still out there...

Look just forget
about the arsonist, okay?

We may have caught a break.

What kind of a break?

We got a tip.

On my way to check it out.

When, when did you get, from who?

I'll call you later, okay?

But I...

Call you later.

This guy was voted most
likely to become a rockstar.

Probably works in a Best Buy.

Cucumber field night watchman.

For sure.

Does anyone end up
doing what they want?

I did, for a while.

Sam: Kim's boss was a woman.

I knew her pretty well, too.

She wasn't sleeping with her.

So Kim chose Steven over Brad.

She liked danger, the forbidden fruit.

Were there any attractive
married men in the village

who might have appealed to her dark side?

Yeah, we all had a thing for Ed.

He owned the ice cream shop.

Kim never ate anything.

Oh, she was so skinny.

I always thought she was anorexic.

Do you have a photo of this Ed?

Yeah, in the yearbook,
let me have that.

He had an ad in here.

Oh, oh, so sexy.

Arkady: Was Kim sleeping with him?

No way, his wife was
seven months pregnant.

Nobody is this naive.

So, what do you say, hot?

Kinda in like a sort of 90s way.

Who are you?

Remember the man you lied
about seeing on his motorcycle

when you were stooping
your sister's boyfriend,

the man who you're helping
the police keep in jail?

This is his daughter.

Nice to meet you.

Arkady: So where can we find Ed?

In the cemetery.

Motorcycle accident.

That's why Brad bought the ice cream shop.

Maisie: It makes total sense.

Ed was married with a pregnant wife,

so Kim wouldn't have said anything.

And Ed had a motorcycle,

so maybe that's who Lisa saw by the river.

Exactly, Ed killed her.

Now can we please get my dad out of jail?

Unbelievable!

Fischer wins again.

You're only looking at
the piece in front of you.

You have to consider your
opponent's overall strategy.

Why would Ed have killed Kim?

(gentle music)

Ed, thank god you're still here.

What happened to you?

I broke up with Steven for good.

Now we can be together.

My wife is pregnant.

I'm not about to throw my
life away for a teenager.

But you said that you loved me.

Get off of me!

He breaks her heart.

It's too bad, but she would get over it.

He needs a more compelling
reason to silence her.

(gentle music)

Ed?

I'm late.

No baby, I just locked
the front door, it's perfect.

No, I'm late.

You told me you were on the pill.

I can't have two babies.

(Kim grunting)

Sam, check Kim's medical records.

Was she on birth control?

Yes.

Was Lisa correct in the anorexia?

She had her tonsils out, dust allergy,

carried an epipen for bee pollen.

Maybe that's how she died, bee sting?

Yeah I'd like to see the bee

that leaves a bloodstained sweater behind.

Bee venom and bee pollen
are two different things.

Anorexia please, anorexia.

(knocking)

Sam: No mention of any eating disorder.

Cleaner: I'll get it.

Hello George, come in.

My final attempt.

Oh, you will resign after this.

That is very honorable.

Taste it this time.

Wait, not yet.

The honey must be added
at the very last moment.

Pretentious.

This is pashka.

Just like your mother made?

Not my mother, she
couldn't boil an egg.

She was a poet.

We went to the cafe.

She wrote poetry, I ate pashka.

Mm, well done chef.

Your approval has
renewed my desire to live.

Let me see your hands.

Honey and vanilla.

You made the pashka.

No.

You helped.

A secret rendezvous in
the kitchen, with honey.

Lisa said Ed made honey
lavender ice cream.

(gentle music)

Ed, thank god you're still here.

What happened to you?

I broke up with Steven, for good.

We had this massive fight at the river,

and he threw me to the ground.

He's such an asshole.

Did you tell him about us?

No, of course not, I broke up with him.

We're done.

Are you okay?

Kim: Now I am.

(both panting)

(Kim moaning)

(Kim gasping)

Ed: Baby, you like it?

Ed, there's bee pollen in the honey.

Kim's allergic.

Kim, Kim!

So, bee pollen in
the honey lavender ice cream?

You think I'm crazy.

I know you're crazy, but...

Arkady: Anaphylactic shock.

Yeah, maybe.

Mr. Balagan.

Just a token of thanks.

Ah, France.

Prosector thinks we got a case.

Why didn't you ever question
Ed, the ice cream shop owner?

Why would I?

He may have been Kim's secret lover,

and possibly the last
person to see her alive.

Kim was dead, and Ed was
about to become a father.

He had to do something.

He took her downstairs

to the basement of the ice cream shop.

He had no car, only a motorcycle,

so how to dispose of the body?

Kim told him about her fight
with Steven at the river, so?

I decided to make
it look like foul play.

Everyone in town hates Steven.

They'll have no problem
blaming him for this.

(somber music)

He didn't know Lisa was at the river

with her sister's boyfriend.

(motorcycle revving)

Sh, someone's coming!

(somber music)

So, you put Kim's bloody sweater there

to lead the police to Steven.

Guy's already a criminal.

He'll end up in jail sooner
or later, just like his dad.

Walt: Now that's ridiculous.

It's improbable, but not impossible.

We got the right man behind bars.

Do you?

If I'm right, you will find Kim's body

hidden somewhere in that basement.

The case is solved.

You never found the body.

Can't be late for my own party.

(gentle music)

The guy solves a 20 year homicide

in his last 24 hours on
duty, hey, how are ya?

Hey Walt, leave some
crime for the rest of us.

I'm gonna pause for
laughter and applause there.

Now time for a guy with
a real sense of humor.

He'd have to be to put up
with you guys all these years,

my friend and mentor, Walt Varga.

So, what do you think?

(people chattering)

Walt?

(bell dings)

Hey, we're closed.

Detective, what are you doing?

Can I help you, detective?

You can't just barge in here

and start going through my place!

You need a warrant.

Not anymore, I stopped
being a cop as of five o'clock.

What the hell is going on?

You bought this place from Ed in 99?

Yeah.

What's going on?

You see that?

Dents, from when the old
freezer was put back,

before the concrete was dry.

(Walt grunting)

What are you, crazy?

You're wrecking my floor!

That's it.

911, please send someone
to Village Gelato.

Detective Varga, he's destroying my place.

He's chopping up my floor.

(crowbar clangs)

Walt: Oh no.

It's Kim.

So, was it an accident, or
did Ed kill her on purpose?

Did he know she was
allergic to bee pollen?

Get used to living with uncertainty.

Life is full of it.

I can't express what this means to me.

Then do not try.

Maisie: Thank you.

Steven, case is closed.

Let's go.

Arkady.
Pippa.

Mr. Balagan.
Jason.

What big feet you have.

Join me for a drink?

I hear you solved the Charlan case.

Mm, who'll be around in
20 years to solve Rosemary's?

Excuse me.

Arkady, just listen all right, please.

To what?

We got a break in your fiancee's case.

We have the shooter in custody.

This man killed Rosemary?

Yeah, we think so.

Do you know him?

(gentle music)

What did you do to deserve me, huh?

Oh, I think it must have
been something very bad.

Your lover awaits.

He's my lover from high school.

Love is eternal.

Who's that?

So, technically you didn't
prove Steven killed that girl,

so why don't we call it even?

Ah, Hugo.

Swooping again.

You're going to be very
sorry when I use this.

You owe me.

Excuse me, I have Hugo's
humiliation to plan.

Perhaps another time.

(people chattering)

Think I need a drink.

(pleasant music)

(lively music)
