Previously on "Eye Candy..."

You're my sister, not my parent.

(Screaming)

Sara!

I know you're trying to
find your sister.

I'm sorry, Lindy.

Lying about being a cop?

- I'm Ben.
- Lindy.

Or when you turned me in?

You know, as part of your
parole, you weren't supposed to

put your hands near a computer.



People go missing every day.

I found your website.
People said you could help.

If they knew you were doing
charity work on their dime,

- no bueno.
- Where did you go, Julia?

You have to get back out there.

Since when were you trolling
Flirtual?

- Sophia's idea.
- When was I ever the kind of

girl who used an app
to meet guys?

You called me Eye Candy?

Can we grab a drink sometime?

- I'm a doctor.
- Name's Reese.

The hell is that?

What if someone is using.

Flirtual to stalk and maybe
kill people?



We are gonna catch this
crazy, I promise.

(Grunting)

Where is he?

- Ben!
- It's too late to save me.

I love you, Ben!

I had to kill Ben, but we are

just getting started.

Right this way.
I have you booked

for the Shambala facial... that includes
a head and shoulder massage.

We'll begin face up.
I'll let you get settled,

and we'll be right back.

Are you serious?

thing up and get herself killed.

(Sighs)

(Phone ringing)

One sec.

Hello, mom.

What are you doing?

Kinda busy right now.
What's up?

What's up?

Is the last girl that
Reese Hennessy met off Flirtual

was found dead this afternoon
with her face melted off.

Oh, no.
That's terrible.

Yes, it is.
I'd advise you to get

out of there now.

Okay then.

Thank you.

Everything okay?

Yeah, um...

My mom's just been ill
recently, and, um...

Yeah, I... I hate to do this,
I just... I have to get going.

I can't say I'm not
disappointed.

Look, I'm headed out of town
over the weekend.

I want more of you before I go.

I'll let you know.

- You having fun?
- Not particularly.

Did it look like I was
having fun?

Looks like your obsession
with finding Ben's killer

is messing up our surveillance.

Then, why don't you arrest
him already?

We were about to, but,
you got in the way.

You need to let us do our job,
Lindy.

That girl today?

She'd still be alive if you had
done your job.

That's not fair.
I know you're angry.

Look, I'm angry, too.
Ben and I were friends long

before we were cops.
Our families grew up together.

You know the look his mother
gave me at his funeral?

Regret.

Regret she had ever
trusted me with his life.

You know the look I got?

Blame.

- Hi.
- Hi.

- You're up early.
- Yep.

It's hard to sleep when your
best friend's out every night

- doing what with who-knows-who.
- I'm fine.

- Really?
- Yes.

I've just been walking around
all night.

It's not anything you need
to think about.

(Scoffs) Okay.
Then, what is this?

You're watching the guys
from Flirtual.

I think you're thinking about it
a lot.

You've been following them,
haven't you?

Yes.

Why were you hiding this
from me?

Because I didn't want you
to worry.

Okay, well, I'm worried!

This is worried!
It is not your fault

what happened to Ben.

Yes, it is!

And if any of the creeps that
I dated killed Ben,

I'm going to find out.

Why should you?

You are not some superhuman
person, okay?

You are just Lindy.
Let the police handle it.

You know I can't trust them.

I'm just gonna go out
on a limb here,

and say that romancing a murderer
is not exactly a good idea.

Well, it's the only idea I have.

Well, it's not a good one.

Look, I know I might be obsessing
over something that doesn't exist

that these could just be
two normal guys.

But, I need to do this,
or else I will go insane.

I'm not gonna lie and say
that I approve.

The bolivian.
They have a secret stash.

Ahh.
I just love coffee.

Live off it.
You must really like this place.

Yeah, sure, it's...
It's great, I guess.

I just notice that you come
in here a lot.

Every day for two weeks.

You noticed me?

I noticed that we're directly
across the street from.

Jake Bolin's apartment.

Who are you?

Sergeant Catherine Shaw,
head of the Cyber Crimes Unit, NYPD.

And I hear you've been running

your own surveillance
on the suspects.

Oh, look.
Right on time.

Suspect number one, Jake Bolin.
Australian, works as a lawyer,

shops organic, prefers to run
than go to the gym,

and is actually the last person
I would pin as a murderer.

But, that always piques
my interest.

Reese Hennessy, on the other
hand, dated the latest victim,

has one charge of sexual assault
that was dropped due to lack of

evidence, takes sleeping pills,
drinks on average 1.3 liters

of vodka a week,
and recreationally uses cocaine

and MDMA.
Murderer, maybe.

Husband material, not so much.

You think this impresses me?

You can sit outside their
apartment all night, for all

I care.
But, loading spyware onto their

phone jeopardizes any case
we can build against them.

- You won't stop me.
- I don't wanna stop you.

I wanna help you... help us.

People like me don't work for
people like you.

The police?

The good guys?

When your department arrested
me, I kinda lost faith in authority.

Yeah, that grey area where
you like to work between us

and the bad guys?
It can get real foggy down there.

I'd hate for you to lose your way.

I'll keep my eyes open.

I know the police failed to
find your sister.

And for that, I am truly sorry.
But, I can make it up to you.

My department can give you the
access and resources

to help people.
Help yourself,

and find your sister.

(Camera clicking)

Everyone wants to play with
you, Lindy.

Okay then.

(Chuckles) Let's play.

The last time we went on vacation,

we went to
atlanta to visit my family.

It's that moment when you

realize you did everything
together.

You think to yourself, I'm gonna
tell 'em this or that about my day.

But, they're just gone.

It's been two months.
I've heard nothing.

We were getting married.

She was... she was so
full of life.

How does someone like that

just disappear?

(Buzzing)

(Computer chirping)

(Buzzing)

Flowers are a bit much,
aren't they?

Uh... I thought we were gonna
meet at the restaurant.

How did you know where I live?

Oh, I wanted to surprise you.

Thought maybe I could, uh,
cook you dinner?

Cooking.
You're cooking me dinner?

Yeah.
Shall I come in?

Uh... yeah.

♪ ♪

Where do you keep the knives?

(Chuckles)
I have to admit, I've actually

never cooked anything in this
kitchen.

Wow, how very new york of you.

I've never been good at it.

Well, just takes practice.

I panic.
There are liquids, and oils,

and meats getting burnt,
and it's too delicate.

Are you saying I'm delicate?

No.

Look, cooking is just about

overcoming the fear of the
unknown by calmly implementing

the rules and knowledge of what
it takes to achieve an outcome.

It can be very profound.

Shitake mushroom?

I'm not sure what makes me
more terrified.

The mushroom or what I just said?

Lindy?

Hi!
I thought you were going out.

We were out, now we're back.
What's this?

Jake, this is my roommate
Sophia and her friend Connor.

Yeah, I remember, from the club.

Are you... are you cooking?
Is... is he cooking?

Wow.

Yeah, I, uh, surprised Lindy.

- Have you guys eaten?
- (Together) No.

(Together) No.

(Chuckles) Well, I have

way too much food.
So, stay, enjoy, and then,

you can tell me all of Lindy's
secrets.

We'd love to.

- Thank God you're here.
- What is going on?

Okay, I had plans to meet him
at a restaurant, and he just

showed up with groceries. I
couldn't exactly tell him to leave.

Yes, you could!

And who just shows up
with groceries?

That is definitely weird. I need
you to be straight up with me.

Is there a serial killer in
my house right now?

I don't think so.

- Is he still a suspect?
- Not exactly.

Not exactly?
Okay, then what exactly is he?

They found another victim
this afternoon.

- Her face melted off.
- What?

She was dating Reese Hennessy.

Okay, so he's the one.
He's our guy.

The police think so.

Okay, so, at least we know.

Knowing... knowing is good,
right?

(Knocking)
I know how charming and

handsome I am, but I really
don't think your gentleman

- caller came to hang with me.
- What's he doing?

Same thing he was doing
when you left.

- Cooking.
- Okay, but, like, a normal

person cook, or like
a killer cook?

Like someone who really
wants to impress her.

- You weren't invited.
- Okay, Connor?

This is a really stressful
and complicated situation.

So, I really need you to behave.

Look, I get it.

This beautiful man might be
hiding something.

He might not be
who he says he is.

He could totally mess with
your life.

Sounds a lot like dating in
new york.

- We're staying.
- If he is the killer,

he can't cut all our heads off.

Are you sure?

Yeah.
I do Krav Maga.

Thanks.

Just don't eat the food.
Poison seems more his style.

(Sighs)

So, I grew up in Australia,

always wanted to move to the
States.

I went to law school in
Chicago, and then, when I got

accepted into the law firm here,
I jumped at the chance.

But, um, I never asked you.
Where did you grow up?

Upstate, near Albany.

Why'd you pick Brooklyn?

To meet fabulous friends
like us! (Chuckles)

I'm gonna sound crazy, but I
remember the night we met.

I was, um... I was looking across
the club, and I saw Lindy,

and I had this weird feeling inside
of me that I needed to know her.

Come on, you've never
told me this.

That's Sophia for you.

One of the kindest girls I know.
She loves to pick up strays.

(Laughs) I'm serious!
It was like a past life thing.

And then, she told me she just
got into town.

Don't ask me why, but I insisted
she stay with me.

(Chuckles) And I've never left.

Is there a past life thing
between us, too?

Oh, sweetie, you are plenty
to handle in the day to day.

(Laughter)

- Well, to the day to day.
- To the day to day.

- You again.
- What was that?

None of your business.

Is this all some kind of
game to you?

Reese Hennessy has an alibi.

Coworkers say he was in his office
all day when his date was killed.

Whoever this guy is, he's out
there somewhere,

waiting, watching.

You think I don't know that?

You need to stop this and let
the police do their job.

This doesn't make sense.

What took you so long?

You know it's
like, 3 a.m., right?

I was deep in the rem.

What are we doing?

I need to break into the
city's security cameras.

Specific block, specific time.

No, Lindy.
That's so illegal.

I...

I love it!

Oh, yes.
Who's gonna make you cry?

I'm brute-forcing my way in. Looks
like a weak 12-digit password.

You ready?

- Yeah.
- Almost.

Almost.

Got it.
Zinc gummy bear 1-3-3-4-5.

Potato meow 65 lizard.

You know that doesn't qualify

Um... it does to me.

I'm in.

He killed his latest victim at
this spa at around 4 p.M.

These cameras show the
surrounding streets.

Okay?

You see it?

What?

(Typing)
Empty parking spot here.

Camera pans off, and now,
the parking spot is filled...

Giving him enough time to enter
in the back of the spa.

It's his car.
I know it's his car.

Yaeger, listen.
Alibi or not, I wanna continue

the tail on Reese Hennessy.
Yeah, and Jake Bolin.

Yep, 24 hours a day.

Detective. Lindy thinks she can
help us with our investigation.

She believes Reese Hennessy's
alibi is a fake.

Wanna go on a date?

With the spyware Lindy loaded
onto the suspect's phone,

we have a much clearer idea
of their movements.

Yes, and Resse Hennessy's
phone didn't move from his

office when Emily was killed,
corroborating his alibi.

Doesn't that seem odd to you?
What phone doesn't move one inch

for almost two hours?

Yeah, she has a point.

Lindy, that's just a car roof.

That's not.

Do you know how many makes

and models of that car are
listed in the Tri-state area?

There's no view of the license
plate, how are we gonna prove this?

His car is
state-of-the-art,

entirely hackable.
Hard drive records all its

telemetry... every turn,
tire pressure, fuel usage.

- It could almost drive itself.
- His car gonna drive us all

the way to his murderous lair?

Detective?

What if he snuck out of the
office and no one knew?

The car will tell us exactly
where he was that day, and his

alibi will fall apart.

What we do know, is he's

booked on a flight to Rome
tomorrow.

He may be making a run for it,
so we're doing this.

He lives in a secure building
on the waterfront.

Drives out, drives in. Can't
get near it without a warrant.

Well, actually, we're going
for sushi tonight.

I asked him to pick me up.

While she entertains Reese, you
retrieve all the data from his car.

You've got five hours.

Can I have a word?

This isn't a good idea. She's
not trained for this, sergeant.

We'll have eyes on her in the

restaurant, he's not gonna try
anything in public.

It's not him I'm worried about.

I have no idea what she'll do
from one moment to the next.

She's completely unreliable.

- Reckless?
- Yes.

That's why I like her.

Reminds me of myself
at that age.

You're not gonna ruin my little
trip down nostalgia lane, are you?

There's nothing nostalgic
about you, sergeant.

Do you wanna catch this guy?

- Of course I do.
- Then, we need to trust that

she might be on to something.

Are you sure this is just
about catching a killer?

Push this, detective. Push me, and
I will remove you from this case.

Truth is, I prefer to have her
working with us,

where I can keep an eye on her,
for our sake.

- (Sighs)
- And hers.

She does this, and it could
go very wrong, fast.

Let's try and not let that
happen.

Thank you, detective.

Okay, what is he talking about?

I know I'd love to know.

If you don't tell them, I will,
because they're involved, too.

Involved?
I didn't sign up for being

involved.
Please define.

crimes unit to catch the killer.

Wait, what?
W-working?

No, no, Lindy, I... okay,
I said... I said go to the cops,

not with them... anywhere!
That's dangerous!

Okay, come on, you said you
couldn't trust them.

We know that Reese is
the killer.

How can you be sure?

Because of this.

What is that?

It's me.

It's my life since Ben died.

We're all in it?

I'm on here.
Why am I on here?

Reese has been following me
all along.

I'm sorry, but none of you can
leave tonight till we catch him.

When are you expecting
that will be?

Great, right, okay then.

Hey, why didn't you tell me
you were working with them?

I should probably let
you two talk.

- You said go to the police.
- I did not say to work with them.

Okay, look, they hurt you
before.
