Motive (2013–2016): Season 1, Episode 12 - Ruthless - full transcript

Catch him, catch him.

I got him, I got him,
I got him, I got him!

Brendan, I'm open!

That's good!

Randy "Velcro" Kitch,
fresh out of retirement

and returning from
devastating knee surgery,

puts up another two points!

Great pass, Brendan.

Go, go, go, go!

Oh, hold up! Time!

Time.



[Cell phone chimes]

Oh, you're kidding me...

Your boss man?

Of course,

because why would the fact
that it's Saturday

mean anything to him?

He literally doesn't know

what a day off means.

I guess we all have to
pay our dues, right?

Yeah, which means I gotta go.

Sorry, man, but money talks.

It's cool.

See ya later, suckas!

Okay, hang on, hang on.



Watch your step.

Yeah, I got it.

Old man.

[Laughs]

- Ready?
- Yup.

[Chuckling] You okay?

Yeah, I'm fine.

You're-you're wobbly.

I am not wobbly.

[Chuckling]

Let me know when you
want to take a break.

Oh, my God...

Left, left, left.
No, my left.

It's stuck.
It's not going to fit.

No, no problem.
Here's what we're gonna do.

We'll take a deep breath,
then we're going to push.

We're not having a baby.

Here we go.

[Straining]
No, it's not working.

Hang on a second.
I can feel it move.

Um...

I've just made it
worse, Haven't I?

- No.
- [Laughing]

I think the Sex Pistols
were better than The Clash.

So what?

You don't know
what you're saying.

I know exactly what I'm saying.

No, no, no, you don't.

The Sex Pistols only
released one studio album,

and it was basically
a derivative

of New York Dolls.

The Clash...

they changed the face
of punk music!

It all sounds the same.

See, now you're just
trying to irritate me.

Hey, Bets, who's number one...

The Sex Pistols or The Clash?

Ooh, tough choice,

but I'm going to have to
go with option "C,"

the Ramones.

I gotta respect that.

What happened to this guy?

This guy fell down

pretty hard.

There's no signs of struggle.

I doubt there was one.

Hmm, no blood, no struggle.

Suffocation?

Nope.

Doesn't leave many
choices, does it?

You sure it's a homicide?

Poison.

Yup, faint
burnt-almond smell,

cherry-colored skin.

My money's on cyanide.

I don't see any food.

You don't have to
eat it, Detective Vega.

It can be drunk, or inhaled,

or even absorbed
through the skin.

But I'll know more when I...

[Vega]: - Get him back to the lab.
- Get him back to the lab.

I'll also have a more
accurate T.O.D.,

but he's pretty fresh.

Last few hours?

Yeah, body temp agrees.

Okay, well, poison.

We all know
what that probably means.

That the killer was a woman?

- Double or nothing.
- Ciao. Ciao.

See you later.

- Really?
- Yeah.

I mean, poison
takes patience, planning.

Men are much more immediate.

They're hands-on.

All the assumptions
about men...

Have you seen Lucas?

Lucas!

Morning!

Good morning.

Sorry, they have
double sinks in there.

I keep telling Mary

that we should get them
for our en suite,

but, of course, that means
less counter space,

so I was just looking
to see how they did it, and...

Okay, uh, victim,
Brendan Kendall, 27 years old.

He's the executive assistant
to the CEO at Cibrex Plastics.

Maid found his body
when she came into the room.

Cibrex Plastics?

They make everything

from laundry detergent
to children's toys.

Was he from out of town?

No, he lives here in the city.

Cibrex offices are downtown,

but all the executives
were checked into rooms.

Attending some very private,
very high-level meetings

in the hotel conference room.

So, we could be looking at
convention syndrome.

A crime of passion?

Well, what happened

when he didn't show up
for his morning meeting?

His colleagues called his room.

Thought it was weird that
he wasn't answering the phone.

Not weird anymore.

I hope this is the right spot.

I mean, for the roots to grow.

I think so.

What do you think would happen
if you just...

didn't show up
for work tomorrow?

I think Barb would have a fit.
You know what she's like.

Yeah, but I-I mean

what if you just
stopped going altogether?

We could... go away.

We could fly to the other side
of the world.

We could find a beach.

We could drink
margaritas in the sun.

What, like our honeymoon?

You remember
how great that was?

I wish.

Why can't we?

Is there something going on

that I don't know about?

I'm daydreaming.

Everything's fine.

Motive 01x12
Ruthless
Original Air Date May 9, 2013

His bed wasn't slept in.

So, the hotel's keycards
only register

when a guest enters a room,

so all we know is
that he had one keycard,

and he entered last night
at 7:00... no, at 8:06 P.M.

And then re-entered
this morning at 7:15 A.M.

So when did he leave,
and where'd he go, hmm?

[Sniffing]

Out for a smoke?

I doubt it.

He got cited twice
for smoking in his room.

They added an extra charge
to his bill.

Oh, God, I remember those days

when you were too lazy
to go outside.

Um, detectives?
This was in the safe.

I had to use the hotel's code
to override the lock.

So, wait a minute,

the guy leaves his wallet
out on the bedside,

but he locks up his phone?

That's weird.
No contacts, no texts.

It's a blank phone.

What's he hiding?

So, uh, did you find out?

The Hotel Georgia.

Are you having second thoughts?

No, I'm good.

Good.

No, that kid worked
so hard for me,

he didn't have time
to make any enemies.

He was a good kid.

He was... smart, ambitious.

He reminded me a lot of me
when I was his age.

So you'd say you knew him well?

Yes.

I think of Cibrex Plastics
as a family.

A big family,
with big-family values.

Do you know if he was concerned

or worried about
anything recently?

No, not that I was aware of.

Did you meet any girlfriends?

Not that I recall.

And these meetings you're
having in the hotel,

what were they about?

We have our year-end
coming up,

we're reviewing
the last few months.

Strategic planning,
that kind of thing.

We found a cell phone
in Brendan's room safe?

Do you know
anything about that?

No, I don't.

I'm sorry I can't be
of more assistance.

Well, thank you for your time.

We know you're
a very busy man.

Thank you.

He was funny.

We all liked him.

Did you notice
anything was wrong

yesterday?

Well, we were in
meetings here all day.

If there was something wrong,

I... I wouldn't have known.

I mean,

Mr. Ramsay had him
on a pretty short leash.

What time did things
wrap up last night?

Around 8:00.

I think I saw him
go straight to his room.

Yes, that's right,
there was a game on, I think.

Not again after that?

We were all tired.

It was a long day.

I just spent the whole evening
going over my notes.

Can you think of any reason

he would have left the hotel,
or gone anywhere?

If he did, he'd have been
very quiet about it.

Maybe he snuck outside
to make a call?

Why would he do that?

Those are the rules.

No phones. No wifi. No leaving.
The whole time we're here.

What about the phones
inside the hotel?

They arranged it

so that we can only call
from room to room.

That sounds strict.

Jimmy's rules.

These discussions
are very delicate,

you understand.

Of course.

Hey!

Hey.

What are you doing home?

Joel went to pick up
his daughter early,

so we just decided
to call it a day.

I see... oh!

Hey, it's okay.

Yeah, I know.
I'm just so clumsy.

Don't worry about it.

It's just water.

Yeah, I know.

So, how'd it go?

[Sighs] Good.

And nobody saw you?

No, I don't think so.

[Sighs]

So it's actually done?

It's... it's done.

I saw the ambulance

and the police cars.

It's over.

Our hotel has never
had to deal with

something like this before.

Mm-hmm. Can we see
your security footage

from this morning, please?

And the other cameras, please.

We only have them in the lobby
and conference room level.

What about hallways
and elevators?

I'm afraid not.

Our victim left his room

sometime last night
between 8:00

and 7:00 this morning.

We're trying to figure out
where he went.

We try to provide our guests

with as much privacy
as possible.

It is one of our trademarks.

Privacy over security.

Some of our guests would argue
that privacy is security.

I'm sure.

Well, perhaps someone
inquired with your staff

about someone
on the 12th floor?

Not that I've been
made aware of.

Cibrex bought out
the whole floor,

rented the Western
conference room...

It faces the water...

And we provided
full meal service.

Very standard practice
for our corporate clients.

Okay.

Can we have copies of
the video files you do have?

Yeah, of course.

He got a text.

Oh.

"Awaiting update."

It's just a bunch of numbers.

CB101, CB101.12?

CB stands for
"Cibrex."

Those are stock tickers.

Let's find out who
those texts are coming from.

I'm on it.

So, a secret phone
locked in a safe,

possibly confirming
Cibrex stock prices?

Yeah, our victim was
leaking information.

That's a motive.

You're going to love this...

With an ocean-front view
and an infinity pool,

you won't even need
to leave your hotel

to be in paradise.

What more could you want,
really?

Actually, I am very jealous.

[Chuckles]

You go ahead
and play around with it.

Excuse me.

[Gasping in horror]

[Sobbing]

[Gasping for air]

[Weeping]

Mr. Ramsay has asked

that you keep your presentations
to under 30 minutes.

But don't worry,

I've had his gong removed
from the conference room.

[Everyone chuckles]

Hey there. Hi.

Sorry, I'm just, I'm with
that group back there,

and, um,
I'm a little bit unclear

about our breakfast situation.

Because I have some
food restrictions, so...

Of course.

Now, this is the order form

that you'll find in your room.

Breakfast is delivered
every morning

between 6:00 and 7:00.

And as you can see,

we have lots of
gluten-free, vegan

and vegetarian options.

C.O.D. Was
chemical asphyxiation.

Definitely cyanide.

Huh, that's a good way
to kill someone.

It's easy to get a hold of.

And it leaves almost no trace.

But...?

His stomach contents.

Our boy ate before he died,

and judging by
his levels of digestion,

I'm guessing less than
20 minutes before.

The poison was probably
concealed

in the food.

Acts fast.

Leaves no mess.

So what'd he have?

Scrambled eggs.

Yum.

And some bacon.

Oh, my favourite.

Probably a bread item,
most likely a croissant.

Did he have any coffee?

Orange juice.

So he had breakfast.

Mm. The most important
meal of the day.

Hey.

Hey.

I got you a croissant.

Thank you.

The hotel says that
the breakfasts were made custom

for the Cibrex floor.

Yeah, it was a room service
kind of thing.

Did everybody order breakfast?

Out of 15 of the Cibrex rooms,
nine ordered the same breakfast.

But our victim didn't.

He didn't order anything.

Say what?

And he wasn't seen
in the restaurant either.

I mean, I guess the killer could
have served him food.

Or he ate someone else's food.

Yeah, but if
that's the case, then...

Then he wasn't
the intended target.

If he ate someone else's food,

that means
someone didn't get theirs.

No, no, the hotel confirms
everyone got their food.

No one else got sick,

so he didn't share a plate.

Hold on a second.

Wait, are you saying

what I think you're saying?

The victim wasn't the target.

He didn't order any food,
but he still ate the poison?

Isn't it obvious,
he ate someone else's order.

Our victim was sharing
confidential stock information.

What happened to that angle?

Lucas, what happened there?

It was a burner cell
with its minutes topped up.

I'm still
waiting for the details

from the phone company

about who sent the text.

Something about a warrant.

Okay, what's taking so long?

I don't know, I'll try again.

This the CEO?

Yeah, he's a pretty
cooperative guy.

His name is Jimmy Ramsay.

Well, everyone at the top

always makes enemies
getting there.

- Why don't you go back to him?
- Okay.

He said it's being processed,

but Judge Rayner's on lunch.

While you're waiting,

why don't you go talk to
the hotel kitchen staff?

See how easy it is
to poison someone else's food.

Did you know I used to be
a prep cook at summer camp?

Lucas. Go.

Hello.

Hi.

[Family sobbing in grief]

I'll get you some more tea.

Thank you, dear.

Mrs. Kendall?

I just want to say

that I am...

So very sorry.

How did you know my Brendan?

I, uh, we...
We worked together.

He was such a good boy.

He worked so hard.

He wanted to travel.

He talked about hiking in
New Zealand this summer...

He didn't deserve this.

Somebody took him away from me.

[Sobbing in grief]

I just want you to know
I am so very, very sorry.

[Coworkers chatting]

Hey, Gary,

is your daughter still coming

to visit you later tonight?

Yeah, yeah...

[Voices fade]

[Heartbeat thudding]

[Elevator dings]

Excuse me.

- Oh, I'm sorry.
- Thank you.

Good night, guys.

I need to control
the flow of information.

It's essential
to any successful business.

So no cell phones,
no wifi at all.

It makes sense,

but it certainly
sends a message.

That I'm a tyrant?

That you don't trust

your employees.

Yeah, what happened to
Cibrex's "big happy family"?

Well...

trust is
a complicated business.

Mr. Ramsay,

there's a possibility that
someone wanted to kill you.

Me?

Yes, sir.

Can you think of anyone
who, uh, wanted to hurt you?

Have you received any threats?

I have... rivals and enemies.

I mean, that's of the job.
[Cell phone rings]

But no,

nothing specific.

[Cell phone rings]

Excuse me.

[Elevator dings]

[Elevator dings]

Yup, yup, yup, yup, okay.

Well, gold star for you.

[Chuckling] Lucas says

that the texts are coming
from a Jeremy Fields.

He's a junior stock trader

at Anglo International
Brokerage,

and he and Brendan went
to high school together.

Lucas going to talk to him?

He lives in Tokyo.

Well, someone still could
have easily found out

what Brendan was up to.

Or maybe Jeremy contacted
someone at Cibrex.

Yeah, well, that's
only relevant

if Brendan was
the intended victim.

We shouldn't rule it out yet.

Employee of the month
three times in two years.

That is impressive, Felicia.

I like working here.

Our colleague spoke
to the kitchen staff,

and they told him
that no one there knows

which rooms the orders go to.
Is that true?

Yes, I put the markers
on the trays.

So, you delivered breakfast
to the 12th floor this morning?

[Sighs]

I picked them up
from the kitchen.

I took them upstairs.

Did you see anybody in the room
who shouldn't be there?

There were a few guests
in the elevator,

and a lady coming from the gym

got off at the same floor.

Anything at all strike you
as odd on the Cibrex floor?

Um...

Yes. Yes, one thing.

And what was that?

There were two smokers

on that floor

who smoked in their rooms.

You remember that?

Well, these days,
we might get one per floor,

but almost never two.

So, other than Brendan Kendall
in room 1222,

who was the other smoker?

The lady in the room
across the hall from him.

1221.

Did you see her smoking?

No, but there were ashes
in one of her bowls

when I picked the tray up,

and I told my manager.

Thank you.

Room 1221, that's
Dr. Hillary Byrnes'.

Lots of doctors smoke.

Yeah, but is it possible

Brendan was smoking
in her room?

And she did order breakfast.

I think she was
the intended victim.

We want to thank you
for meeting with us again,

Dr. Byrnes.

Of course, it's not a problem.

Dr. Byrnes. I'm sure
you can imagine

that our lives are made
a lot more difficult

when people lie to us.

I'm sorry?

Do you smoke?

No. Why?

Brendan Kendall
wasn't in his room

watching a game
last night, was he?

He was with you.

I could lose my job.

That should be the least
of your concerns right now.

Okay, yes, he was in my room.

We were involved.

- And he stayed the night?
- Yes.

But we had to be careful
no one else knew.

Right,

so it was your food that he ate

just before he died?

Yes.

And when he left your room,
he was feeling fine?

He kissed me,

went back to his room to ch...

Wait, you're saying...

Brendan was poisoned.

And we think it was your food
that was poisoned.

Oh, my God.

This was all my fault.

We can't guarantee
whoever did this

won't try it again,

so we would like to offer you
protective custody.

Now, you don't have to worry,

our officers are very good
at their jobs.

- No.
- You'll be safe...

Thank you.

But that won't be necessary.

You know you could be
in serious danger.

Listen, detectives, um,

I do very delicate work
for a lot of big companies.

There are always going to
be people who want to harm me.

I have to accept that.

I'm not going to
spend the rest of my life

being followed around
by police officers.

I fly out tomorrow evening.

I'll take care of this myself.

[Roar of traffic]

Did you see her watch?

A $5,000 rolex is hard to miss.

This car didn't even
cost that much.

Don't you say anything.

Hey, you know, the server said

she saw a woman from the gym
in the elevator.

Maybe she saw something useful?

Yeah, it's worth a shot.

Flynn. Vega.

I was just telling
Mr. Ramsay here

that we're working very hard
to catch Brendan's killer.

Absolutely, yeah.

I'm not used to sitting
on the sidelines, that's all.

Well, these are
my best detectives.

I have no doubt.

The thing is,

I was just hoping
you'd be so kind

as to release the phone
that Brendan had

in his safe.

Well, the phone's still
in evidence,

so, no, I'm sorry,
we can't release it to you.

I see.

It's just very important
that I know

exactly what information
he was sending

out into the world.

I understand,
but our hands are tied.

Well, that's unfortunate.

It does put me

in a rather awkward position.

We are looking into a new angle

involving Dr. Hillary Byrnes.

What does she
have to do with this?

That's what we want to know.

Has she worked for Cibrex long?
Do you know her well?

She's our top
medical consultant.

Came to us
very highly recommended.

Joined us about a year ago.

And if you don't
mind me asking,

why does your company
need a medical consultant?

Well, it's absolutely essential
that our products are safe

for all of our consumers.

Dr. Byrnes specializes
in that kind of work.

Okay.

We've checked out of the hotel,

but feel free
to contact me anytime.

Yeah. We will.

Detectives.

- The "best" detectives.
- We're your best detectives?

Thank you, sir.
Really appreciate that.

Now get back to work.

Number one.

Wait a minute,
something is confusing to you.

You're not sure what it means,
but you think it's significant.

I checked into the woman
who went to the gym,

but no keycards
from the 12th floor

were used to access the gym
on Wednesday morning.

All right, well,
who was the woman

riding the elevator
in gym clothes?

Someone from another floor?

Do we still have
the lobby video surveillance?

I can pull it up.

Let's find out
where she came from.

What the hell happened
at the hotel?

I thought you said
everything was okay.

I messed up.

I didn't know about him.

I mean, how could I, right?

God, I can't believe
this happened.

I killed an innocent person.

We did.

No.

I did.

It's going to be okay.

Nobody knows about you, right?

Right.

So it's not over.

What are you saying?

I'm going to go find her,
and I'm gonna...

No. No!

This was my idea.

So that's it?

We quit?

Just walk away?

Yes.
Before anyone else gets hurt.

No way.

This is not over.

Gord, no!

All right, there she is.

Right, the lady from the gym
the server noticed.

Now back it up.

Go further back?

There.

Show me that one.

Back it up further?

She changes in the washroom.

So she wasn't staying
in the hotel.

Stop it.

What's she holding?

Zoom in.

She's got a water bottle.

What entrance
did she come in from?

Stop there.

That leads to
the parking garage.

She must have come down
afterwards.

Can we see that?

Lucas, stop.

She doesn't recycle.

Because...

Because that's where
she keeps the poison.

Uh-huh.

I'll see if I can get
our hands on that trash.

You are one smart girl,
whoever you are.

Okay, so she finds out
the doctor's at the hotel,

shows up, finds the room,

poisons her food, leaves.

She doesn't check in,

so her name's nowhere
in the computer.

Ah, but we know she came in
from the parking garage.

Street parking downtown
is a nightmare.

Yeah, but don't you remember,
when we parked down there,

we had to pay with a credit card
before we could get out.

My credit card.

That's right.

Do you get the point or not?

Yes, yes. We check out

all the credit cards
that were used that morning.

That's how we get her name.

Thank you, Felicia.

Positive I.D.

Fantastic.

Sonia Brauer.

Well, we've got her
in the hotel.

What we don't have is enough
to arrest her for murder.

What did Dr. Byrnes do
to you, huh?

Huh.

Huh, what?

They were all
meeting at the hotel

to discuss corporate strategy?

That's right,
like one big happy family.

These are not the people

you discuss
corporate strategy with.

Where's the head
of business affairs?

Research and development?

National and foreign
investments?

When you have the CEO,

three vice presidents,

seven lawyers,

two public relations experts,

a medical consultant...

And a gag order?

You're doing damage control.

So?

Do I get a gold star?

Oh, I think
that counts for two.

[Laughs in triumph]

You just lost one.

Shame.

Gord, it's me.

I'm outside your hotel.

I'm worried about you.

I'm worried about
what you're going to do.

Phone me back.

Let's talk about this, please?

So, Cibrex plastics
is about to be named

in a major class-action lawsuit.

They could be held liable

for over half
a billion dollars.

And the suit claims

that the toxic
compound, BPA, was used

in their "Baby Duck
Bathtime" toy,

and after repeated exposure,

it led to the deaths
of seven infants

across the country.

So, Dr. Byrnes
is Cibrex's hired gun.

Mm-hmm, and if they lose
this suit,

the damages will
definitely bankrupt them.

Yeah, that's why
Brendan was texting

his stockbroker friend in Tokyo.

He knew that the suit was
coming out,

and that the stock prices
were going to drop.

So how does Sonia Brauer
fit into the lawsuit?

That's the problem, sir,
she doesn't.

Yeah, she moved to the city from
Baker Bay

a couple years ago

when her mom, Elaine,
got sick with stomach cancer.

Elaine died.

She now works
as a travel agent.

She's a homeowner,
recently got married.

And the toxicity
of Cibrex plastics

had nothing to do with
her mother's illness?

It doesn't appear so, sir.

And Sonia Brauer

didn't grow up
next to Dr. Byrnes,

play basketball with her,
steal her prom date?

Dr. Byrnes
grew up in San Diego.

Have you talked to
Ms. Brauer yet?

I...

I'm going to.

Right now.

Mm-hmm. All right.

[Chuckling]

It's beautiful, isn't it?

That is a little slice
of heaven right there.

Mm, those photos don't lie.

I'll have to take
your word for it.

Sonia Brauer?

Yes.

I'm Detective Flynn.

Can I ask you a few questions?

Um, yeah.

Yes, of course.

What is it about?

Did you hear about the murder

at Hotel Georgia on Wednesday?

I did, on the news.

It's so awful.

Did you know
the man who was killed?

No, I didn't.

Oh.

But you were at the hotel
on Wednesday morning...

Do I have that right?
You were there?

Uh, yes, I was.

Do you mind if I ask why?

'Cause you weren't checked in.

Um, a friend of mine told me

that they got a bunch of
new equipment in the gym,

so I thought I'd check it out.

Ah. How was it?

Um, you need
a keycard to get in,

so I...

I didn't actually see it.

Oh.

Do you remember going up
to the 12th floor?

Uh, yeah, yeah,

I think I must have
pressed the wrong button.

You pressed the wrong button.

That's right.

I'm sorry, what is this about?

You ever heard of
Cibrex plastics?

No.

Dr. Hillary Byrnes?

Does that name ring a bell?

Should it?

Well, I guess not.

You weren't planning a trip
anytime soon, are you?

[Chuckles] No.

Okay.

I'm going to let you
get back to it.

Thank you.

No connection, then.

No, but didn't
Dr. Byrnes say

she'd done this
kind of work for years?

That's what she said.

Jimmy Ramsay said

she'd been there
for about a year,

and came very highly
recommended.

Well, let's find out
who recommended her.

Lucas! Find me
the doctor's work history.

- Veggie wontons.
- Thank you.

Gord.

[Coughs anxiously]

The police were just here,

and I know... I know you don't
want to talk to me right now,

and that is, that's fine,

but if you are about to do
something stupid, don't.

Just... just don't.

Please.

[Sighs]

Call me back.

In 2008, she worked for
the Welland Group,

a company that primarily
deals in asbestos.

That's charming.

Head office is in Virginia.

2009, she worked for
Barton White Pharmaceuticals,

head office in Seattle.

2011, she worked for
Cross Pulp and Paper.

Head office is in Calgary.

Wait a minute,
what does it say there?

Must be one of the locations
of their mills, I guess.

Baker Bay.

That's Sonia's hometown.

That's the connection.

[Sighing]
Gordon McNally,

Cole Morello

and Sonia Brauer.

They were
the three co-claimants

in the case against
Cross Pulp and Paper.

Their families all lived
down stream of the mill.

Is that right?

You testified to the Federal
Environmental Protection Agency

on behalf of
Cross Pulp and Paper.

Said they were doing
nothing wrong.

I provided my medical opinion.

Yes, but it was
based on your testimony

that the judge
dismissed the case, yes?

Cross Pulp and Paper were
allowed to continue on,

business as usual.

I did my job.

They paid you to lie?

No, they pay me
to evaluate the facts.

Not to give
my personal opinion,

but my medical opinion.

I don't pass judgment
on my employers.

I look at the numbers,
I examine the science,

and I draw a conclusion.

It's not up to me

what they do

with the information
that I give them.

That sounds like

a lot of ethical gymnastics.

In life, you know better
than anyone,

things aren't black and white.

There are grey areas.

It's my job
to find the grey areas.

Hey, Lucas?

Look into a Gordon McNally
and Cole Morello.

Find out where
they are right now?

We're going to want
to talk to them

as soon as possible.

On it.

To the airport, please.

Long day?

Detective?

So, uh,
Dr. Hillary Byrnes,

you sure you don't
know that name?

No, I already told you I don't.

Well, that's not exactly true.

I don't follow.

I think you do, Sonia.

Uh, no, I've never
met her before.

Yeah. You don't need to have
met her to want her dead.

Pardon me?

Your plan was really
well thought out.

We don't see that very often.

It's really smart.

But you made
one critical mistake.

The water bottle,
you threw it away.

You didn't know

the hotel separates
their recyclables,

and they're picked up
later in the week.

We found the bottle.
It's being tested right now

for fingerprints

and traces of cyanide.

It's not looking good, Sonia.

Cross Pulp and Paper...

They didn't care
who they hurt, did they?

No, they didn't.

You wanted her to pay.

- [Knocks]
- Room service!

[Knocks] Room service.

She... lied for them.

She said the...

the bleaching chemicals
in the water were harmless.

[Laughs ruefully]

Since when is bleach harmless?

You knew better.

47 people...
Were diagnosed with cancer

and they died that same year.

47.

My mother and my uncle,
they didn't have a chance.

That's awful.

You know, actually,
what's awful

is watching your mother

go from being
a normal and healthy woman

to...

becoming a shadow of herself.

Watching her suffer...

[Sniffles]

And all of it for...
for nothing.

Then I...

I couldn't do anything
to help her.

The whole time,

Dr. Hillary Byrnes was just
collecting her paycheque.

You didn't know she had
a guest in her room.

I didn't know.

It's... it's not fair.

Room service!

Set it here, please.

- Absolutely.
- Thank you.

Ah, thank you.

Bon appetit.

No so fast, doctor.

I don't want to
go to work today.

Let's stay in bed.

Eat your breakfast,
then go and suit up.

Put your game face on.

Okay.

Mm.

Mm...

[Gasps]

[Struggling to breathe]

You're going to need to
come down to the station.

You're under arrest.

You understand?

Yeah.

Charging me isn't
going to change anything.

Well, that may be true.

No, you don't get it.

I don't have...

I don't have
anything to lose.

I moved away,

but I couldn't escape it.

It still found me.

You have cancer, too.

I have six months.

When they told me,
I knew I had to do this.

Stop her from hurting
anyone else.

Does your husband know?

I've made so many mistakes.

What's going on?

Why are the police here?

Better you tell him here.

Okay?

Tell me what?

Yeah...

The water bottle?

Yeah, well,
we could have found it.

Okay...

All right, thanks.

Cole Morello died
three months ago.

Leukemia.

Gord McNally
just booked a ticket

on the same flight
that Dr. Byrnes is on,

to Portland, Oregon,

so the uniforms are going to
pick him up at the gate.

So goliath wins another one.

Yeah.

She's right, you know.

Life is not fair.
