Garage Sale Mysteries (2013–2020): Season 1, Episode 12 - Garage Sale Mystery: Pandora's Box - full transcript

Lucas?

It couldn't be...

That's what I thought
at first.

Well, if this is
really Edgar Allan Poe,

well, this is worth...
Gosh, I don't know...

Like, a hundred
thousand dollars?

Oh, well, no,
more like fifty,

but the rarity
of a daguerreotype...

Cut.

Was that okay,
Ms. Ephron?

Did I mess up?



You were great.

You both were,
but Jenn...

We need this portrait evaluated
at a bigger number,

like the hundred thousand
we talked about.

Yes, but even
if this piece were real,

it would only be worth
between 30 and 50.

You know,
doesn't have to be real.

This is TV.

I'm just not sure
I'm comfortable

lying about a lie.

It's not a lie.

It's a story.

We're telling a story.

But isn't this reality TV?



Okay, just...

Think of it as
enabling the plot.

I mean, only if you're
comfortable with that.

I don't want you
to not act natural...

Thank you.

But... but
a hundred thousand?

That's a lot
more exciting.

Only half of what I'm going
to owe the bank

if this doesn't get picked up.

The pilot episode

really needs as much excitement
as we can pack in.

Okay?

Why did I let you talk me
into this again?

Mm, 'cause I love
reality TV,

and you love me?

I do.

And the extra money
will be good

for renovations
for the store.

-Okay... okay.
-Okay.

Let's go again.

You're great.

Think big!

Gotcha. Big.

Roll sound.

Sound speed.

And action.

It couldn't be...

That's what I thought at first.

If this is a real
Edgar Allan Poe,

well, then...

I don't even know
how much this is worth...

Like, a hundred
thousand dollars?

Maybe, yeah...

But the rarity
of a daguerreotype

in this condition...

Well, that is...

Priceless.

It's priceless.

Hey.

Hey!

Thanks for the pick-up.

Yeah, no problem.

Okay, maybe
a slight problem.

Who drives standard anymore?

Oh, come on,
this car's a classic.

Doesn't help that
it's dad's baby.

Just give it
a little more gas

and lift off the clutch
a bit easier.

You got this.

Classic.

Stop and ronocorp!

Get involved!

Website's on the flyer.

Get involved!

Okay, let's move it over here.

Oh, hi.

Welcome to
Rags To Riches.

Can we help you?

Hi, yes,
I'm hoping that you can.

This belonged
to my mother in-law.

I'm wondering

if you might know
something about it?

Oh, it's beautiful.

Oh, this is, uh...

This is pretty
locked up, huh?

I couldn't figure out
how to open it.

Jenn?

Um, maybe talk
about the box...

Its origin,
its history.

Ma'am, would you mind
if we filmed this?

I'd really rather not,
actually.

Thank you...

But any extra info
would be very helpful.

Let's just cut.

Okay, uh, well,
this is a puzzle box,

as you probably know.

It's originally

from 2nd or 3rd century
Greek mechanical puzzles.

Mm-hmm, the same culture
that brought you

the pandora's box myth.

Right, and in fact,

some of the first
combination locks were puzzles.

Vaults, too, yeah.

So there could be
something valuable inside?

Well, there could be.

These were novelty gifts
in 19th-century England,

and people did store
things in them,

but this one
looks fairly new,

although the work
is very intricate.

Were you interested
in selling it?

Well, it belonged
to my mother-in-law, Elizabeth,

who passed away recently.

I just wanted to make sure
there wasn't anything inside

before I decide to sell it.

I think we can help you
with that.

I'd also read
that, sometimes,

there are triggers
in these

that will smash
whatever's inside

if you try to break it
instead of solving it?

Yes, that's true.

So, do you think
you can get it open?

Well, it usually takes
one or two ciphers

to unlock these,

but the symbols on here

look like they're from
different cultures,

almost like
you'd need a translator.

Give me a few days
to do some research.

The sooner the better,
miss...

Oh, Jenn,
I'm Jenn,

and this is
my partner, Dani,

and you are?

Tamara Andronicus.

Andronicus, like the
real-estate developers?

Yes.

Your mother-in-law
is Elizabeth Andronicus?

Was.

You knew her?

No, no.

I'm sorry
to hear about her passing.

I read she had two sons?

How are they doing?

Well, Lucas is struggling,
of course.

We don't really hear
from Quin anymore.

Do you have a pen
so I could write down my number?

Sure, of course.

Well, I should get going.

If there is anything
personal in this box,

discretion is very important.

Maybe before you open
the final cipher,

you could bring it by the house

and show me
how to open it?

Absolutely.
We can do that.

Great.

If you need
anything at all from me,

just let me know.

Same.

Nice to meet you,
Tamara.

Thank you,
and I guess... good luck.

Luck's what we're
going to need.

Excuse me.

Excuse me,
Mrs. Andronicus.

I'm Joel Jacobs.

I'm the producer.

We've met, right?

Yes, yes, we have.

I used to play poker with Lucas.

Is there any way

that I could persuade you
to be on camera?

I mean, it would
really help me out.

Look...

I do remember
those late nights,

but I'm sorry.

I'm just not a camera person.

It was good to see you, though.

Yeah, you too.

It does look...

Ooh.

Hey, sweetheart.

Oh, no.

Is everyone okay?

Do you want me to meet you there
or at home?

No, fine.
I'm on my way.

Well, this mail box
has seen better days...

But it could've been worse.

Can you get this car home?

My dad's on his way.

That's never fun...

And where do I know you from?

It's been bugging me.

Oh, wait, um...

Crim-psych at U.M.

You sat at the front, right?

I took that class
freshman year.

I knew it.

I did some prereqs there
before entering the academy.

You obviously graduated.

I did.
You?

I'm working
on my master's.

Impressive.

You're both okay?

I, uh...

I messed up
with the reverse.

I'm totally sorry.

Cars can be replaced.

Family can't.

Dad, you're gripping
a little tight.

I'm sorry.

Thanks for everything.

So what do we do now?

Well, fix the car
and the mailbox,

but like I was telling your son,
it could've been worse.

I did the same thing
to my parent's car

when I was your age.

Rite of passage, I guess,

but just be more careful,
please?

I will.

Here's my card.
Drive safe.

I just had her painted.

Dad, are you
tearing up?

No, just...

Something in the wind.

Yes, I understand.

Thank you.

So our deductible is $300,

and our insurance premiums
are definitely going up.

We'll cover the cost
for now, but...

I'll pay the deductible

and whatever the difference
is on your premiums.

Well, with the mailbox,

we're looking
at about $1,800.

I can handle that.

How?

How much does a kidney go for?

Funny.

I'll just get a job
or something.

I'll figure it out.

We know you will.

And Logan,
accidents happen.

We're just glad
you're okay.

Officer Ryan.

Hi.

It's Hannah,

from the car-slash-crim-class
incident.

Oh!

Uh, of course.

How are you?

Great.

You know, Logan's going to raise
some cash to fix everything,

and, well, I just wanted
to say thanks

for being cool about it all.

Well, thank you.

I don't usually get these
quality care follow-up calls,

so this is a first.

So...

You know, I never do this...

You would be surprised
how often I hear that.

You get asked out a lot?

What?
No, with my job...

But you're asking me out?

Well, maybe a coffee
or something sometime?

I could do that.

I'll know more about my schedule
later today.

I could talk to you tomorrow?

Absolutely, officer...

Or...?

Brett is fine...

Or officer,
whatever you like.

Talk to you soon, Brett.

Okay, bye.

Bye.

How goes?

It's a beautiful mystery.

Just like you.

Aw.

Whatcha got here,
puzzle cheat sheets?

Oh, yes.

I was looking
for pointers

and trying to figure out
what these symbols mean.

There's a lot
of history in them.

Can't be that hard.

I'm out.

Well, they say
these are complex

in their simplicity.

If you say, "like me,"

that thing's going
out the window.

Try not to stay up
too late, sweetie.

Me? Never.

Mm. Good night.

Good night.

One more time.

Yes, we just got
a lovely set in, actually.

It's over there
in the credenza.

Good morning, everyone.

Morning, hon'.

Hey, Dani.

Jenn, good morning.

Hey, would you mind

if I put this box
somewhere else?

It's just...
It's in our shot.

Oh, no, I don't
mind at all.

What're you reading, Dani?

Notes on the puzzle box.

They want to center
the episode around it.

Oh...

Joel?

Tamara didn't even
want to be on camera.

I don't feel right

about exploiting
the family name.

Maybe there's another antique
we could focus on?

We definitely won't be using
the family name.

I put in a call into Lucas.

He owes me a favor
from way back,

and I was able

to get
the box itself cleared.

How do you know Lucas?

Old poker buddy,
but that's a really long story.

Okay, we ready?

Yes. Yes.

You look nice.

You look beautiful.

Hey, ladies, how we doing
with that script?

I know all my lines.

Okay, how about you?

I don't know all my lines.

That's okay,

but just try to hit
those basic beats.

Okay.

I know
all her lines.

Perfect.

Jump in
when you can.

She knows all my lines?

She's got your back.

Okay, but just keep
the energy up right here.

That's where the magic happens.

Okay.

So energy here.

So, how's everyone
feeling, good?

Good, yeah.

Okay, go get 'em.

Lavender is a good color on you.

Oh, thank you.

Cameras up!

Sound speed.

And action.

Jenn, I was
looking online,

and it seems some of
these puzzle boxes

can be solved in
between 7 to 78 moves,

but maybe we should
speak to someone

who specializes in them.

So I found an expert
in Castle Rock,

and she's interested
in seeing it.

Oh, well,
you know me, Dani.

I love a good challenge...

But an expert
is a very good idea.

I think we should
go see an expert.

I'll get the puzzle box.

Where is the puzzle box?

It was right there.

Cut.

It's... it's really gone.

What do you mean?
I put it right there,

right beside the statue
of the Maltese falcon.

Well, it's not
here now.

All right,
did anyone move the box?

Maybe we can check
the footage?

Yeah, rewind that for me.

Ah, you know what?

There were
a couple of customers

in here earlier.

No, no, we don't have
a lot of theft around here.

Nothing on the footage.

Uh, you know what--

it's got to be here somewhere,

so we're just going to...

We're going to spread out
and look,

and we're going
to find the box.

I'm sure the box
will turn up somewhere.

I feel awful.

What are you going
to tell Tamara?

That we'll pay her
what the box is worth.

Do you want me
to go with you?

No, I'll be fine.
You go home.

Okay. Call me
if you need me.

Will do.

Okay, fine,
you will get your money.

All right. Bye.

Everything all right?

I'm really sorry
about this.

The production
will cover the cost

if we did misplace it.

Well, I appreciate that.

I'm more concerned
about the sentimental value.

Yeah, I understand.

This whole town is like
one big sentiment to me.

How so?

Well, I grew up here.

So that's how
you found us,

and how you know Lucas.

Well...

I've always wanted
to shoot something here.

Place is so peaceful
and welcoming.

Well, that's why
we love it.

Yeah.

And why we have to
keep it that way.

We have a three-story
height limitation

on all buildings up
and down main street.

Andronocorp is trying to get
the zoning for a six-story.

Spoiler alert,
they're going to get it,

because they're above the law

and can buy out
any council

in any city
they want.

Do a story on that.

Well, we would
if we were a news crew.

We have to take
massive action...

By any means necessary.

Website's on the flyer.

Get involved.

I'd say he has spirit to spare.

Well, he is right.

I mean, Andronocorp has been
trying to ruin this town

and everyone in it

for years,

and just when you think

Harvey Andronicus
is going to retire,

he hands it all over
to his equally greedy son.

Lucas can't be all bad.

He's letting you use the box
for your show.

Well, we were using the box.

Um...

Well, I'll see you
tomorrow.

Yeah.

You've reached Tamara.

Please leave your name
and number.

Tamara, hi.

This is Jennifer Shannon
from Rags To Riches.

Um, I thought we were supposed
to be meeting now,

but maybe I got the time wrong.

Tamara?

Tamara?

Tamara?

Tamara!

Jenn.

Frank!

Are you all right?

I'm fine.

I found the body inside.

Surprising how many
of our conversations

start like that.

It looks like a fall,

but I heard
a car squealing away,

so maybe someone trying to flee?

Here we go.

The squealing could be
a neighbor,

or a car passing by.

It could be,

but there were several cars
in the driveway

when I pulled up,

and I'm pretty sure
there's one less now.

Did you get a make?

No, I didn't see it,
I only heard it.

Okay.

Should I even ask
why you're here?

Tamara Andronicus,

she brought a puzzle box
into the store,

and then
it went missing.

Missing or stolen?

I'm not sure,

but when I came by
to break the bad news,

I saw a smashed vase
on the floor,

and then I saw some movement
by the back door.

And how did you get
in the house?

So the front door was locked.

I came around back.

This was knocked over,
and that door was open.

I don't know,
maybe somebody running away.

Well, anything could
have knocked that over.

Well, true,
but there's that.

It's a land line.

There was a big
storm on Sunday.

Anything else?

Yes.

Tamara's cell phone...

A local area code,
last four digits 2428,

and the text said, "I'm sorry."

Same text that I send
my wife daily.

Right now,
somebody's fallen.

That's where we start.

Right.

I do appreciate
your eye, though.

The body was at the
bottom of the stairs.

I know.

I found her mother-in-law
in the same area

just two nights ago.

Really?

Mm-hmm.

Well, how did she die?

Well, we're awaiting
the autopsy results,

but looks like
an accidental fall

down the stairs.

Two accidents
on the same stairs?

That's a little odd,
isn't it?

Very.

The mother-in-law
dies on Sunday.

Tamara brings a puzzle box
into the store on Monday,

and she dies
on Tuesday?

Yeah... very odd.

Could there be something
in that puzzle box...

that Tamara wanted
us to find?

Or maybe it's just a box.

Let me ask you something.

Would it be okay
if I got back to work?

Oh!

Yeah, go.

I'll call you later.

Yeah.

What's going on?

Mr. Andronicus?

Yeah.

Please...

Let's have a seat.

I don't want
to have a seat.

Where's my wife?

Where's Tamara?

Please...
Follow me.

I'm sorry
to inform you,

but we've found your
wife deceased today.

What?

No...

No, no...

It seems she may have
fallen down the stairs.

What?
No, I don't...

Could you tell me
where you were earlier today?

I was taking care
of arrangements

for my mother's funeral.

I wasn't...

You don't think I did this?

No,
it's just standard procedure.

A... little rip there
on your shirt.

When I saw
the police cars in the driveway,

I rushed to get out of my car.

I caught my shirt
on the door.

Okay.

Do you know of anyone

who would have wanted
to hurt Tamara or Elizabeth?

No.

So I'm assuming

with a house this size

that you have
a house staff?

They were let go,

on good terms
and with severance.

Any particular reason
for letting them go?

Mother's been
housebound

for most of
this past year.

She's gotten worse
in the last week.

She wouldn't have
wanted her staff

to see her that way.

Tamara wanted to take a hiatus
from our business

and take care of her full-time.

So you cut short
your business trip

with your father,

flew home on Sunday,
hoping to see your mother

to make sure
that she's okay?

I've already answered all this
in my previous statement.

Refresh my memory.

Yes, exactly.

She wasn't returning
any of my emails

or answering my phone calls,
and...

And then when you got home,
you found your mother there.

I drove back
from the airport

after a brutal 17-hour flight,

and, uh...
I just...

I found Tamara here.

She didn't know what to do.

She was just standing
over mother, crying.

And your father?

Where is he?

I'm assuming he's back?

He's staying
at the grand hotel.

He says it's too traumatic
to stay here at the house.

Understandable,

but what I need to know,
in your opinion...

Do you know
of anyone who would've wanted

to hurt your mom or Tamara?

I'm sure with the new condos
going up on Main Street,

half the town would like
to see any one of us gone.

Hello?

Hey, it's officer Ryan,
A.K.A. Brett.

Hey, how's it going?

Great.

I was thinking maybe you wanted
to have lunch or something

tomorrow?

Titus grill, noon?

Noon works.

I'll meet you there.
Bye.

Officer handsome?

Officer totally handsome.

How's the fund-raiser going?

Slow but steady.

Define "steady."

Nothing.

You need cash
to make a business.

Cash is something
you don't have.

Hey, maybe I could start

by taking out
a personal loan from you.

Or maybe you can start

by taking out
the recycling.

The classifieds
are on top.

Now, I don't want to say that
with my retirement

and with handing the reins over
to my son, Lucas,

that Andronocorp
is going to be taken

to even more tremendous
levels of success,

but I will say just that.

So if you'll excuse me,

I have a new hip
I want to try out on the links.

Lucas!

So I picked up
some wood today

for the broken mailbox.

Thinking about
helping Logan out

and fixing it myself.

Oh, that is so sweet.

Can you build me
a replica puzzle box

while you're at it?

Haven't found it yet?

Nope,

and I can't help but wonder

if something valuable
was inside.

We have way more expensive
pieces in the store,

and the woman who brings it in
turns up dead a day later?

It could be a coincidence.

Two accidents
in the same house

in the same week?

And I'm looking at
the Andronicus website.

Both Tamara and Elizabeth
helped run the company,

and they're both
mysteriously gone.

Who'd want to hurt them?

I don't know.

Maybe someone after their money?

But if it were
an inheritance thing,

wouldn't Harvey Andronicus
be the logical target?

And Lucas was getting ready
to take over the company.

Maybe somebody
didn't want that?

Mm, maybe.

But there's something
I'm not getting yet.

Yet?

Let Frank handle it, okay?

Okay.

Hey Logan.

Hey, mom, what's up?

I'm trying to figure out
a phone number.

The last four digits are 2428,
and it's a local area code.

Can you find that online?

Yeah, I could do that.

Hold on.

Uh-oh.

799 numbers statewide.

That's a lot of calls to make.

But if it's within our area,

then we're down
to five phone calls.

I could also get
the names of people,

if you like?

Logan,
what would I do without you?

Maybe we could write this down
as a consultation fee?

I could knock 20 bucks
off your tab.

How about 50?

30.

Sold.
Love you.

Love you, too.

No injuries or
mucosal lesions seen.

Why is it every time
I smell caramel macchiato,

I think of Jenn Shannon?

Good morning, my friend.

Ah...
There we go.

Mm!

Still toasty.

Mm-hmm.

Speaking of,
I've decided when I go,

it's cremation all the way.

Okay, I'll bite... why?

It's my last chance
at a smoking body.

That's actually
one of your better ones.

How can I help you today?

Elizabeth
and Tamara Andronicus?

They could be here,

but you didn't hear it
from me, right?

Oh, of course not.

I was curious about
their two "accidents".

Could there be signs that
there was something else?

By "else," could you be
insinuating foul play?

Could be.

Nothing official.

We're strictly talking "coulds."

While the heavy stress
on Elizabeth's heart

was irregular for her illness,

nothing else
is showing up so far.

Irregular?

Elizabeth had a sudden
massive heart attack,

but her medical reports
don't indicate heart disease,

weakness,
or any genetic anomalies.

Her illness stemmed

from blood and osteosarcoma
cancer complications

in her knees,

and those complications usually
lead to bleeding in the brain,

and that would cause a stroke,
not a heart attack.

So what could've caused
Elizabeth's heart attack?

She was getting up
in age.

Are you suggesting
she was scared to death?

Or it could've been
an allergic reaction.

I did find a peanut
allergy here.

Even just a slight inhale
from peanut vapor

could trigger
an anaphylactic shock.

And that shock could cause
a heart attack?

Could have,

but those minimal peanut traces
are extremely hard to find

in any autopsy, if ever.

What about Tamara?

Well, I did find
substantial amounts

of morphine sulfate
in her mouth.

Morphine sulfate?

Heavy prescription painkillers.

So an overdose could
have led to her fall?

Could have,

but it "could be" strange

that only the powder
from the morphine sulfate pills

was found in her mouth.

It's as if the capsule shells

were pulled apart manually,

the contents emptied
into her mouth,

and the shells discarded
someplace else.

So the morphine could
have been placed there

after Tamara's death,

making it look like an overdose
that led to the fall?

A killer covering their tracks?

Could,

but you won't get
anything out of me.

So while Elizabeth's death
could have been an accident,

Tamara's
is most likely a murder?

Now, that's
a very strong could.

Dani, go a little bigger.

More drama.

Let's rehearse it.

Okay.

More drama?

I can do that.

Same question.

So, still no sign of
the missing puzzle box

anywhere in the store?

Well...

We know it must be somewhere,

but that somewhere
isn't here.

All right, um...

Just a little bit less, okay?

Less?

Well, the box must be somewhere,
but...

That somewhere isn't here.

Perfect.

Oh...

Sorry, Kat.

I thought
I turned it off.

No worries.

Um, Dani,

that-- that was really good.

Right in there

is going to be
really good, 'Kay?

A little
"less is more."

I like it.

Okay.

Uh, listen, guys,
if we don't find the puzzle box,

is there another piece
in the store

that we could maybe use?

If we don't find it
by the end of day,

we'll adjust.

All right.

Is Jenn going
to be here soon?

I'll give her a call.

Hey, Dani.

Hi, honey.

Joel and the crew were wondering
where you are.

I'm at the Andronicus house.

Lucas should know
the puzzle box is missing.

I'll be by the store later.

Please be careful.

I will.

Um, excuse me?

Sorry, I don't mean
to bother you.

My name is
Jennifer Shannon.

I own Rags To Riches.

Is this about the puzzle box
and Joel's show?

Yes.

I also wanted to say
I'm so sorry for your loss.

Thanks.

Um... what can I do for you?

Tamara brought
the puzzle box in

the day before she passed.

Yeah, I told Joel
he was fine to use it,

as long as he didn't bring
our name into it.

Ah, might make
a nice tribute for mother.

She loved building those.

Oh, your mother made them?

It was her passion.

Well, unfortunately,

the box has gone missing
from the store.

Somebody took it?

I don't know.

We're still trying
to locate it,

but I was curious...

Do you think maybe there was
something valuable inside

that someone who
knew her wanted?

Well, that would be
a better question

for my brother, Quin.

They loved building
them together.

Is there some way
I could contact him?

He's staying
at the Overview.

I'd call him for you,

but we're not really talking
a whole lot right now.

I see.

Well, if I can repay you
for that puzzle box,

please let me know.

Thanks.

If you'll excuse me,
I've got some things to do.

I should really
get back to it.

Of course.

It was a pleasure
meeting you.

Lynwood. Leave a message.

Frank...

I found a bottle of peanut oil

in the recycling bin
at the Andronicus house,

and Lucas was cleaning it up.

Call me.

Hey.

Only part time.

175 a week at the most.

And I need a car **

Don't worry.

He should be here anytime.

Hannah, hey,
I'm sorry.

I wanted to call,

but a driver
was pinned under his car.

He's okay now,
but I had to sit with him

until the fire department
could come and cut him out.

Oh, no.

I'm sorry,
I wanted to call,

but that's part of why
I don't really get out much.

What's the other part?

To be honest,
I, uh...

I just got out
of a relationship,

and I haven't really dug
back into the dating scene yet.

I hear you.

It's not really my thing either
at the moment.

So what do we do?

Maybe we just hang out.

No pressure, expectation...

No romantic dinners
or flowers...

None of those dating rituals.

You will not,

I repeat,
not hold a door open for me.

Fine, I won't.

Let's do it.
I'm in.

Sounds good.

I'll talk to you later.

Bye.

Hi, Andi.

Hey, Jenn!

I'm looking
for a gentleman

by the name
of Quin Andronicus.

He might have checked in
today or even yesterday.

Actually,
Mr. Andronicus checked in

closer to four days ago.

Yes, Saturday,
but you just missed him.

Do you want to
leave a message?

Did you say Saturday?

Thanks for coming in.

How can I help you?

Well, maybe you can tell me

why your brother, Lucas,
has a restraining order

against you?

Because of Tamara.

A little over a year ago,

I said some things about her
that I probably shouldn't have.

Things got heated,

but I guess
that's what she wanted.

She was all about
divide and conquer.

She divided the family?

Where there's money
and opportunity,

there's Tamara.

She pitted me and my brother
against each other

from the beginning.

I'm sure you've seen how high
she rose in the family business.

She never loved Lucas.

Seems like
you're not her biggest fan.

That doesn't make me
her killer.

Where were you
the day she died?

Making funeral arrangements
for my mother.

With your brother, right?

He was there for a bit, yes.

How long is a bit?

I'd say about 20 minutes.

Then he left.

Guess it was a little too much
for him to handle,

but I was there the whole time.

You can check
with the undertaker.

Why don't you talk
to their lawyer,

Allan Demetry?

He'd be my first stop.

And what's Mr. Demetry
going to tell me?

Something I've been trying
to tell them

for a very long time.

I know what you're thinking,

but I didn't just ask you here
to talk about the case.

Oh, really?

Is it because
of my winning smile?

Mm?

Okay, is there
any particular suspect

you're leaning towards?

Well, Lucas had said he was
making funeral arrangements

at the time of Tamara's death,

but he left
the funeral parlor early.

He could've driven
home to see her.

He was in town
for both deaths,

shows up at the scene
with a ripped shirt,

plus he was the one who was
cleaning out the recycling

when you noticed
the peanut oil.

Could he really
not have seen it?

Well, he didn't want
to call attention to it

while I was there.

That'd be my guess,

because when I spoke
with the former chef,

he said the place was
a peanut-free zone,

and the whole staff
was let go

before Elizabeth died.

So someone other than the staff

could have slipped
the oil into something?

What do you know
about Lucas' brother, Quin?

Well, I know that Lucas has
a restraining order against him,

a fight that turned violent
about a year back.

Quin left town.

He now works as a linguistics
and human studies professor

on the west coast.

He's back in town

to help plan
his mother's funeral.

Which puts him here
at the time of Tamara's death.

True,

but with Quin's alibi,

there's no way

that he could have
been at the house

between the time you left
the store and found Tamara,

but he did bring up
the family lawyer,

Allan Demetry,

whom I've called
and hasn't been seen

since the time
of Tamara's death.

Went by the house...
No answer.

So either he's on the run, or...

Or another victim.

Mm.

You know what I
don't understand?

What's that?

If Quin was in town
to plan his mother's funeral,

why did he check into a motel
a day before his mother died?

Well, that does
mean one thing...

Both brothers were in town
for both murders.

Mm-hmm.

No candles, no music.

Just tacos.

I don't know,
ways to my heart...

One, buy me tacos,

two, make me tacos,

and three, be a taco.

Fine, you're buying your own.

One taco, please.

Same, thanks.

So...

Since we're just hanging out,

can I ask you
what's up with your ex?

You can.

I just did.

Whoa.

Um, I don't know.

Thank you.

We never really argued.

She just would explain
really loudly

why she was always right.

Been there.

Yeah...

And the weirdest part

is that I've had this
laundry basket,

full of her things

just sitting in my closet,

and I haven't really had
the heart to give it back.

Hmm.

Yeah, it's a little weird,
I know.

No, it's...

Okay, it's a little weird.

Well, what about you?

I'm not usually
one to go looking.

I mean, I think

when you're actually
looking for love,

you never find it.

Well, I think I've found
true love right here.

Scatter my ashes.

Done.

Hey, Logan.

I went through those numbers,

and I found
a pretty interesting one.

How interesting?

The Andronicus family lawyer,

Allan Demetry.

I'll text you his number
and address.

Logan, you are the best.

Thank you so much!

Frank!

No, I just saw a body
moving through the store,

so I...

You okay?

Oh, I'm fine.

Was anything stolen?

It doesn't look
like they took anything.

Okay.

Well, this is good.

Uh...

But?

Looks like
they returned something.

The missing puzzle box?

I can guarantee you,
that was not there before.

Why would somebody steal it

and then return it?

I'm not sure.

Well, I can dust it
for fingerprints,

but it's not
technically evidence

until we can prove

that it's tied
to either death.

Detective Lynwood?

When he saw us, he ran.

Am I under arrest?

Yes, I'd say
a chat is in order.

Well,

that's a long list
of greatest hits here.

Rioting,

a dropped assault charge
on a peace officer...

Oh, and breaking and entering.

There was no breaking
and entering.

That charge was
trespassing at most.

How so?

I was protesting

the construction of a skyscraper
over in Aldergrove.

I was on private property,
climbed over a fence,

and got grabbed from behind
by an off-duty cop.

Did you ever steal anything
from Mrs. Shannon's store...

Specifically, a puzzle box,

then for whatever reason
bring it back?

No.

I'm not a thief,
or anything that sheet says.

The real crooks wear suits,
come into small towns,

bulldoze everything in sight.

Hence the Andronocorp protest,

and by all accounts,

it's something
you seem fairly angered at...

I'd even say obsessed.

"Obsessed" is a word
lazy people use

to describe the dedicated.

Ooh, that'd be a great tagline
for one of your signs.

Oh, speaking of tags,

I'm guessing that
the spray-paint in your bag

and what you've got
on your hands there

is the same
as on the Andronicus gate.

Oh, and I've even heard accounts

of other Andronocorp buildings
being defaced

all over town.

It is what it is,

but I never broke
into any store.

When was the last time you were
at the Andronicus residence?

Did you see or have
anything to do with the deaths

of either Elizabeth
or Tamara Andronicus?

No,

but the fewer of that family
in this world,

the better.

If you're withholding,
it's obstruction.

I was tagging their gate.

I saw a car
speed into the driveway

and slam on its brakes.

A woman came out
of the house.

I took off
before he got out of the car.

Did you hear what they said?

No.

Was the woman
older or younger?

Younger.

And the driver?

Like I said, never saw him.

What about the car?

Uh, silver... gray... sedan?

And this was yesterday?

Yeah.

Why didn't you go
to the police?

'Cause I knew
you'd see those priors,

and I'd end up
never walking out of here.

Look...

I know I have red on my hands..

But none of it's blood.

But if Zach broke
into the store,

wouldn't he have
an injured leg

from the fall?

True, but he could just
be lying about the argument

to cover up
for himself.

He was there

around the time
of Tamara's death.

No, just because
he's passionate about a cause

doesn't mean he's a killer.

Okay, then who?

I found a number

for the Andronicus
family lawyer,

the same number
that texted Tamara

saying, "I'm sorry."

Allan Demetry
was the "I'm sorry?"

He was.

Maybe Quin was on to something

when he said Demetry
was interested in Tamara.

Well, if we can
even find Demetry

and get the cell,

then I'll be able
to approximate

the area where he
made that text from.

Which would put him
at the scene of the crime,

or somewhere else.

Well, this guy,

he hasn't returned
any of my calls,

hasn't shown up at work,

and all the neighbors say

they haven't seen his car
in the driveway

since Tuesday.

You got anything
on Tamara's cell?

No,
still waiting on a warrant.

Can't Lucas give you permission
to access her phone?

I wish it was that easy.

Detective, the box
has been wiped down.

No fingerprints.

You thinking
there's something inside,

that's pertaining
to the investigation?

I'm not sure,

but if you want me
to stay with it and get it open,

I can find out.

Give it to her.

Come to me first.

I always do.

Ah.

Yeah, right.

Hey, Dani.

Can you cover for me
at the store tomorrow morning?

Copper!
Mittens!

Ll drool j, come on.

Did you open up
a dog park in our backyard?

Yeah, it was supposed

to be a dog-walking
business. I...

I thought
it would be easier.

It just seems like the end goal

is getting farther
and farther away.

Don't worry,
you'll get there.

Anything worthwhile takes time.

You think so?

I know so.

Let me help you out.

Come here, guys.

Come here, you.

What're you
doing? Stop.

You've reached
the law office mobile

of Allan Demetry.

Leave your name and number,

and I will return your call
as soon as possible.

Mr. Demetry?

Hello?

Mr. Demetry?

Hey, Frank.

You open the box already?

Uh... not exactly...

Frank,
I'm at Allan Demetry's house.

Well, is he there?

No, but the side door was open,

and some furniture's
been overturned, and...

Well, Frank, it looks like
there was a struggle.

I'm concerned

something might have happened
to Mr. Demetry.

I'll send someone over
A.S.A.P.

Oh, and, Frank,
one more thing.

I think Tamara and Allan
went to a cabin.

I'm going to send you a photo.

Look closely.

Her reflection
is in his sunglasses.

Okay, thanks,

but please get somewhere safe.

Loon lake...
That's not too far.

Put the phone down!

Who are you?

I'm a friend
of the Andronicus family.

They don't have friends.

They have employees.

I knew Tamara.

I'm sorry.

I can go and pretend
I never saw anything.

Why are you here?

You're the last person
to send Tamara a message.

I was hoping

you could shed some light
on the "I'm sorry" text.

If you can find me,
he can find me.

Who's he?

Same person
who gave me this...

Her husband.

Lucas.

He's completely lost it.

He'll do anything to
anyone at this point.

Even kill?

Yeah.

When did Lucas come after you?

Uh, Tuesday.

The same day
Tamara died.

He came over in a rage,

thinking something
was going on.

Tamara would never admit
anything about us,

but, apparently,
his brother saw me

sneaking out of the house
on Saturday, and...

To be honest, after
a year of hiding it,

I had to tell him
that I loved her.

I love her.

How did you get away?

I had to promise
to text and break it off,

and then he stormed
out the front.

That's the "I'm sorry."

I, uh...

I didn't know if he was going
to change his mind

and come back.

I was scared,

so I bolted out
as quick as I could.

Do you think Lucas went back
and killed Tamara?

I do...

Mr. Demetry,

I know the detective
on this case.

May I call him
and get you some help.

If there's one,
there'll be more.

I get that it hurts...

I really do...

But the difference
between a professional

and an amateur

is that the pro plays hurt.

Are you listening?

She was really something,
wasn't she?

They both were.

We're going
to survive this.

We always do.

Lucas Andronicus,

you're under arrest

for the assault
of Allan Demetry.

Ah, the single life.

Great, isn't it?

A freedom to it.

No pressure,

no stress
at the end of the day.

You know, I think

that real freedom's
not having to update

your online
relationship status.

Or taking that perfect
couple profile selfie

you know they took
a million times

just to get that one.

I'm actually in a
long-term relationship

with fun and adventure.

Me too.

Aw.

We should get
out of here.

Yeah, immediately.

Hmm.

Hi.

Jenn!

We'll keep rolling.
Join us?

Oh...

Okay, but...

If this puzzle box
turns out to be evidence,

well, you're going to have
to clear it with the police

to use any of this footage.

I'll check into the legalities
of it, Jenn,

just in case.

Okay.

Hey there.

Oops, sorry, darling.

You're just...

You're standing
in my light.

There we go.

You're really warming up
to the cameras, huh?

"I'm ready for
my close-up..."

But I actually am.

I can see that.

Okay, that's, um...

Ow...

Let's get ready
to go.

Are you okay?

Oh.

Yeah, yeah, it's just
an old football injury.

Flares up
once in a while.

I did find
substantial amounts

of morphine sulfate
in her mouth.

All right,
we're ready.

Let's get to it.

All right, so...

The puzzle box
magically reappears.

Seems there's something more
to the mystery after all,

don't you think?

Um..

Yeah, uh... cut?

Um...

You know, the family has
been through so much.

Are you sure

there's not a way

we can't restructure
this episode

and focus on another
antique in the store?

Uh, well, Jenn,

the box
is the episode...

But, I mean,
their name won't be on it.

I definitely don't
have the money

to fight the Andronicus
family in court.

Family.

Oh, I know that look.

The family crest,
of course.

The crest is the first cipher!

Yes.

Well, I was hoping
for something more than that.

Oh, it's okay.
You'll get it.

That's lunch, everyone.

What?

Joel's leg.

It's the same one
the store thief fell on

when he was trying
to run away.

Has he been limping
the whole time?

Not that I noticed,

but why would Joel
steal the box?

I don't know.

In the meantime,
we'll keep an eye on Joel

for anything
out of the ordinary,

especially if it has to do
with the Andronicus family.

Right.

Andronicus family!

Quin Andronicus...

He used to do
these puzzle boxes

with his mom.

Maybe he could help me
figure it out.

Is that safe?

Well, I'll meet him
in a public place.

A very public place.

The lobby of his motel,

and I'll let Frank know
where I am.

All right.

I know where you are, too.

You look good
for your close-up.

Thank you.

New home-repair business?

150 bucks per computer.

Mostly software issues so far.

That's a great start.

Yeah...

But Compubarn has the market
completely cornered

around here.

I'll be lucky to find
a few more customers,

and even then,
I'm going to come up short.

You can always diversify.

What could I do?

Something that you already
know and love.

That's it.

The family business.

A one-day online
massive garage sale.

All my collectibles and comics.

Only if you're sure.

Yeah, I'm sure.

Good.

And then you just jumped
into the air and tackled him,

right there.

I've never seen
anything like it.

I played a lot of
football in high school.

Well,
as far as hangouts go,

that one is going
to be a hard one to top.

So I get another hangout?

Of course...

If you want one.

Of course.

So...

So...

You have my number.

We should...

Hang out.

A lot.

We should.

Call me.

I will.

Can I make you dinner sometime?

Anytime.

Perfect.

Bye.

Lynwood. Leave a message.

Oh, hey, Frank,
it's Jenn.

I'm at the overview motel.

Can you do me a favor

and run a background check
on Joel Jacobs,

that producer from the store?

He started limping
right after the break-in,

and he was the last person
to touch the puzzle box

before it went missing.

I don't know,
maybe there's a connection.

I'll check in with you later.

Bye.

I'm assuming
you're Jenn?

I am.

Quin.

How can I help you?

Your mother's work
was so intricate.

She was the best...

at everything.

I was sorry
to hear about her passing,

and Lucas' arrest.

They arrested him?

On what?

Assault.

I'm sorry,
I thought you knew.

Was it Allan Demetry?

What makes you think that?

If you saw the way
Demetry looked at Tamara,

you'd know there was
always something there.

Lucas just never saw it,

or maybe he didn't want to.

Not meaning to pry...

Pry away.

When was the last time
you talked to Lucas?

Uh, well...

Haven't spoken
to him much

in the last year.

I did speak to my mom every day.

I was talking
to her Friday

when the call dropped.

I tried to phone back,
but there was no answer,

and then I reached
out to Lucas.

He hadn't heard
from her either,

so...

When none of
my texts, emails,

or calls were returned,

I decided to fly home,

and that's when I saw
Tamara and Demetry.

Did you tell Lucas
what you saw?

I did.

Now I'm guessing my call
along with mom's silence

made him fly out.

Do you think
it's possible

that Lucas could have
something to do

with Tamara's death?

I don't think he'd hurt
the one person he loved

more than himself.

You know the worst part?

I'm not even sad she's gone.

Oh, I'm sorry, I'm...

Inquisitive.
It's fine.

I'm the same way.

I just need some
time to refocus.

Of course.

Do you know
the pattern?

No, but I know
the symbols,

and I know the way
she thought.

Whatever mom was hiding
must've been important.

Hiding from who?

I don't know...
Yet...

But this spiral
drawn this way

means "family",

but if you take
the same symbol

and turn it
upside down,

then it means "danger."

It's like she was sending us
riddles from the grave.

Almost like she knew
she was in danger?

These two tear symbols...

If you put them
side-by-side,

they become
the infinity sign.

Coupled with the
swirl for "family"

and the Greek verb for "is,"

it becomes...

"Family is forever."

I'm sorry.

Uh, I have to go.

If you'd like,

I could take it and
work on it tonight.

Well, actually,
I'd like to hang on to it,

but maybe I could
come by tomorrow?

Sure.

Just be careful.

The last people
to touch it

turned up dead.

Hey, Frank.

Demetry let us ping his cell,

which gave us the location

of where he sent
the "I'm sorry" text.

Where was he?

He was at home,

an hour away
from the Andronicus house.

Did you find anything on Joel?

Called around.

It seems your producer friend
is in some serious debt

with some very bad people.

How bad?

Worst.

Loan sharks.

Steep interest,
big consequences.

So Joel might need money

if the show falls through

to pay off his debt?

Well, yeah.

Joel might have gone over
to ask for some cash.

Somehow, things get heated.

Which would give him motivation
to kill either one of them.

If Quin's alibi holds,

only Joel and Lucas
are left as suspects.

True, and?

Frank, is it possible

that Joel could have killed
Elizabeth for money,

and Lucas killed Tamara
out of a jealous rage?

You're suggesting
two different killers?

Maybe...

With two different motives.

Hmm.

Everything I know,
I've answered.

Well, maybe I'll
tell you what I know.

I know that Tamara
was having an affair

for a while,

something you probably
already assumed was going on,

which led you right over
to assault Allan Demetry.

I assume your shirt
got ripped in that fight

and not in the car door
like you originally told me.

I was lying before.

Not now.

And after the fight,

well, you were feeling
riled up,

so you went back home

and settled the score
with your wife.

I would never...

My client is only to be
questioned for the assault.

Okay.

So...
Did you assault Mr. Demetry?

Well, wouldn't you?

She was everything to me,
my life.

He took that from me.

So you took it back from him,
right?

'Cause if you can't have her,
neither can he.

Don't answer that.

I didn't kill my wife.

I love her.

I always will.

Can you tell me

why there was a bottle
of peanut oil in your recycling,

despite your mother
being so deathly allergic to it?

I've never seen any oil,
and I would never buy it.

Why don't you ask the staff?

Oh, they said
the same thing.

My mother died
from falling down the stairs.

While possibly having
a heart attack

caused by anaphylactic shock

brought on by peanut oil.

We're still waiting
to hear back

the finalized
autopsy, but...

This isn't looking good for you.

I was at Demetry's.

I wasn't anywhere
near that house

when Tamara died.

Demetry's house
across the bridge?

Yes.

So?

So it's a
toll bridge.

Means there's
a time-stamped picture

of your car crossing either way.

Which will show you

that I wasn't anywhere
near Tamara.

Let's hope for your sake.

Hello?

Hey, Hannah.

What're you up to?

I was thinking

of hanging up the hangouts.

You said dinner anytime,
so what about now?

Well, I am still
in your neighborhood.

Give me about 10 minutes
or so?

I'll see you then.

Okay, bye.

How's it going?

I kind of don't
want to sell these.

I don't know.

It's like my youth
gone, maybe?

1980 Mongo BMX.

What?

Stunt bike.

Black rims, chrome paint.

It was the coolest thing
on two wheels,

and those last days of summer,
jumping at the track,

I thought
I could touch the sky

if only I got
high enough.

You used to jump?

Oh, yeah.

I was way cooler
back in the day,

you know,
before responsibilities

and bills and life
and all that stuff.

Why did you stop?

Broke my collarbone
in three places.

Ouch.

Then grandma made me retire.

She made you sell the bike?

No,

but I did end up selling it.

Got a decent amount of cash
for it back then,

cash that I used as a deposit
on my first car.

I'm guessing
like the car I smashed outside?

Exactly...

But that's when I learned

that though
my BMX days were over,

there was still
a lot of great things

yet to come,

like meeting your mom,

having the two of you...

It's still the best trade
I've ever made.

So I guess my comics
and my collectibles,

they're my BMX?

Yeah...

And you're going
to trade up, too.

I am.

Yeah.

Hann...

Not.

Surprise!

Ava!

Oh, I'm sorry
I'm late, everyone.

Is everything okay?

I'm not sure.
Frank's on his way here.

Ladies, we ready to go?

Yes.

Mr. Sosniak!

It's good to hear from you.

You know, I have to tell you,

I was cutting some
footage last night,

and it is really
coming together.

-That's good.
-That's wonderful.

You know,
I wasn't sure

before the
location scout

that coming all this way
was going to be worth it,

but this town, it's...
It's really grown on me.

Location scout?

Oh, yeah,
that's when crews go to places

before we shoot

just to make sure the location's
what we're looking for.

I thought Joel knew
about this town

because he
grew up here.

Oh, he did,

but he still has to sell it
to investors

and make sure

the actual location
is the right fit.

When was this scout?

Well, I mean,
my first one

was probably four days ago?

Four days ago?

And Joel was with you then?

Yeah.

Why?

Oh, no reason.

I'm just interested
in the process.

Can we shoot yet?

Yes, we're ready.

Okay, let's do it.

All right.

Camera's up.

Sound speed.

Jenn, bring us up to date.

Yes, well...

We discovered
the combination

for, "family is forever."

Now, unfortunately,

this didn't open
the box,

but perhaps
one of the final ciphers

has something to do
with family.

Sorry to interrupt.

Cut.

Mr. Jacobs, a word?

Uh, sure.

Meet you outside.

Frank,
Joel was in town

around the time
of Elizabeth's death,

and he takes the same meds
that were found on Tamara.

Maybe there's
some connection?

Yeah, I'd say so.

F.Y.I.,

Lucas wasn't at the scene
of Tamara's death.

How do you know?

Times on the toll
bridge cameras.

There's no way
he could've been there.

Hey, sweetheart.

Uh-oh, are you OK?

You have any home
remedy for puffy eyes?

Does it has to do
with officer Ryan?

Why it keep happening to me?

Now, if it makes you feel any better,
you're not alone.

Before you dad, I used to use
cold cuccumbers for the swelling.

Cold cuccumbers. I
have some in my lunch.

That's quite the
limp you got there.

Your morphine's
for that?

No, it's for migraines.

Just...
Knee's an old sports injury.

How's the shooting going?

It's coming along.

So you'll be able
to pay Mr. Sosniak.

He's a tough guy.

Big consequences
for people

who don't pay back their loans.

Well, what we do
for the things we love, right?

What else did you do?

What do you mean?

Well, you were in town
during both deaths.

We both know

that limp isn't because
of some old sports injury,

and you knew
the Andronicus family.

Yeah, I knew them...

A long time ago, sure.

I mean,
we used to play cards together.

One night, I won a lot
of money off of Lucas,

and when their
father found out,

Lucas told them
that I'd cheated to win it,

that I'd virtually stolen it.

Of course,
Harvey let everyone know that,

and after that, no one
would trust or hire me.

Which is why you left town?

Yeah.

So maybe now is a good time
to tell me

why you stole the puzzle box?

I don't know what...

During the time of
Elizabeth and Tamara's death,

where were you?

Well, when Tamara died,

I was in a production meeting
with my crew.

I mean, they'll verify that,

and the night
that Elizabeth died,

Kat and I were outlining
an episode at the diner

from dusk 'til dawn.

Ask her.

You can even
ask the staff.

Okay, I will...

But all I really want to know
is why you took the box?

Uh-oh.

Is this a problem
that can be solved

by chocolate chip mint?

Thinking at least
double chocolate fudge.

Whoa.

School, guy, or other?

Guy.

Double fudge it is.

I'll get that.

Oh, hey.

Officer...

Ryan.

Is Hannah here,
by chance?

Yeah, sure.

Hannah, you've got a visitor.

You okay?

What's going on?

I thought you
were coming by?

I did.

Was she your ex?

Yeah.

Look, I get it.

You weren't ready.

I pushed you into it.

No, without you,

I wouldn't have been able
to move on.

What do you mean?

You remember
that laundry basket

full of her things

sitting in my closet?

Yeah.

She came by,

wanting to maybe
make things work,

but the only thing
I could think of

was you and that laundry basket,

and just getting it
out of my life,

so that I could bring you in.

You rehearsed that
on the way over here,

didn't you?

I totally did...

'Cause I was hoping

that maybe we could try
one of those real dates.

You mean the one
with expectations,

romantic dinners, flowers?

It does sound
pretty terrible, doesn't it?

Totally...

But I'm in.

Uh, Kat?

Jenn, Dani, um...

Look, I owe you all
an apology.

As you know,
I put every penny,

credit card,

every drop of sweat
into this show.

My family, my house,

everything on the line,

but I broke
under the pressure.

I thought

that a mysterious box
going missing

would be great
for the episode,

that it would heighten
the tension,

but then it got
involved in a murder...

And I'm guessing
you panicked

and returned it?

Yeah.

Look, I just wanted to do
something great in this town,

and I'm sorry that
I scared anyone,

so I'll pack up
the crew

and we'll leave
by tonight.

You risked everything
for ratings?

Well, Joel was saying

that you and the crew
were working together

during the nights
of both deaths.

Is that true?

Yeah.

I was with him both nights.

I'm sure the rest of the crew
can verify that.

Jenn?

Are we pressing charges?

Do you have
enough footage

to finish the show?

Well, I need to know
what's in the box

to make the episode work.

Well, it's not worth
losing your house over.

No, I think
we can try

to figure out
the final cipher.

Wait a minute... really?

So we're all good?

Yes, Frank, thank you.

All right,
I'll leave you to it.

Kat, I'm really...
I'm sorry...

But I do think

that we can make
this work.

Let's do this.

Okay, camera's up.

Sound speed.

Action when you're
ready, Jenn.

Talk us through it.

Okay.

Well, right here,

we have the combination
for "family is forever,"

but this symbol
upside-down

means "danger,"

so maybe
what she was trying to say

is nothing
is as it seems.

Everything is upside down.

So now, if I...

If I align the symbol
with "danger"

and the symbol for "home,"

and I slide over the symbol
for "in,"

well, then I have...

I have,
"home in danger."

Oh!

It's empty.

There's nothing in it.

Wait a minute.

The answer is not in the box.

The answer is the box.

Why...

If you look inside,

these lines
and the colors,

this is a place.

It's a room,

and I've been there.

Uh, Jenn...

Don't worry,
I'm calling Frank.

So you've really solved it?

Almost.

Look familiar?

It's an exact re-creation
of this library.

Yes, she hid
her message

in the puzzle box,

so the clues are
probably in this room.

They may be
on the walls

or in the walls.

What message?

The infinity sign.

That means forever...

And that's the Greek symbol
for "is."

Yes, of course.

The family portrait.

"Family."

That's one of
the early ciphers.

"Family is..."

Forever.

She always said that.

"We must learn
to live together as brothers

or perish together as fools."

That was definitely her.

No, no, no,
that can't be right.

There has to be more.

It's a letter
from your mother.

What are you doing?

I want to know
what she knows.

Mr. Andronicus...

Detective Lynwood
is on his way.

Why do you have a gun?

She's going to tell us.

Go.

I think it started
about a year ago,

when Lucas and Tamara
cut off contact from Quin

because of the fight
and the restraining order.

Quin thought Tamara
was having an affair.

Lucas didn't want to listen.

Read the letter.

Elizabeth saw Allan Demetry
and Tamara

early Friday morning.

Tamara could only assume

that Elizabeth's next phone call
would be to Lucas...

A phone call
that would leave her

preparing for a messy divorce,

losing money and stock

in a very valuable
real-estate company...

And she couldn't
let that happen.

Quin's repeated attempts
to get in touch with Elizabeth

go unanswered,

so he flies here
Saturday morning

to check on her...

Only when he arrives,

he sees Allan leaving the house

in the early hours
of the morning.

He can't confront Tamara

because of
the restraining order,

so he calls you, Lucas,
overseas, about Demetry,

hoping this time,
you will believe him.

To keep Elizabeth further
cut off from the world...

Tamara fires
the rest of the staff

on Saturday.

Elizabeth knows
that she has to hide her message

in a place that Tamara
won't be able to find.

She puts the clues
in the puzzle box,

hoping that Quin will
be able to solve them.

Knowing you both will be home
eventually...

Tamara knows
she has to get rid of Elizabeth

and cover her tracks...

And with Elizabeth's
failing health,

she hopes it will look
like natural causes

instead of an allergic reaction
to peanut residue

or vapors that are untraceable
in an autopsy.

Lucas, you arrive home
on Sunday night

to find Elizabeth dead...

But something doesn't sit right.

Maybe there's truth

in what Quin
has been telling you.

I, I... I don't know.
I was upstairs.

I just...
I came down, and I...

Tamara, of course,
denies the affair...

Text her, right now!

Okay, okay.

Right now, right now.

Look, I'm going to do it, okay?

You confront
Allan Demetry,

and he confesses immediately.

You threaten him.

You tell him to
break it off via text.

Harvey...

You hear
about Elizabeth's death

and possibly the affair

from Lucas...

And you take
the next flight home,

but you are enraged.

You!

What have you done?

I don't know what
you're talking about.

You go upstairs,
maybe looking for Lucas,

not realizing that he's gone
to see Allan Demetry.

What's going on?

Did Elizabeth see
you two together?

Did you take her
from me?

I don't know what
you're talking about.

Oh, you're just going
to look me in the face

and say it was
an accident?

I love her.

Whatever you think happened,
didn't.

I know this is going
to be hard for all of us,

but I'm here.

It's going to be okay.

Don't touch me!

It could've just been
an unfortunate accident

that happened
in the heat of the moment,

but you know
with your reputation

how it will look in the press,

so you go
into problem-solving mode.

You take the pills
from your recent hip surgery,

and you try to make it look
like an overdose...

But my arrival cuts that short.

Tamara?

Tamara?

And Lucas, I'm assuming

you didn't tell the police
about the affair

because you knew then

you would be
the number-one suspect

in your wife's death.

How could you?

She took my wife, my name.

Eventually, she would've taken
everything I built.

We built.

We built.

I'm sorry.

The letter was a
warning to all of us

about Tamara.

Mother wanted all of us
to stick together...

You, me, Quin.

She wouldn't have
wanted any of this.

Mr. Andronicus...

You can make this right
for Elizabeth.

Put the gun down, dad.

Please.

Dad...

Please...

The gun won't
solve anything.

Okay.

Thank you.

She loved you all.

Her final words...

Family is forever.

We can make it right.

Welcome!

Hello.

-Hi, Sally.
-How are you?

Oh, it's a hectic week.

Well, "stressed" is "desserts"
spelled backwards

and there is nothing
that dessert can't fix.

That is my motto.

I'll just take that through
to the kitchen...

If it makes it there.

Yeah.

So?

So...

Signed confession
from Harvey.

The brothers are talking again,

and, well,
Quin has convinced Lucas

to comply with Main Street's
building height codes.

Huh.

Great job as always, Jenn.

Right back at you.

Oh, I made your favorite dish.

Honey garlic ribs?

Okay, your second favorite.

Is it weird
that our first actual date

is meeting
my entire family?

Totally...

but I'm in.

And I'm done.

Hey, I knew
you could do it.

Your dad and I
want you to know

that we're very proud

that you reached
your goal.

We've always been
your biggest fans.

And now,

we're your
biggest buyers.

We want you to grow up,

but your past is a big part
of who you are.

It's not all there...

Just enough.

Sweet.

Thanks.

Oh, it's on!

It's all happening!

A star is born.

I will be signing autographs
at the end of the presentation.

Are you going to remember
us little people

now that
you're big and famous?

What's your name again?
