06x13 - Dogged Pursuit

[bunniefuu]

- [PATEL LAUGHING]
- That cannot be true!

He demanded my parking spot.

Andrew, you're the
chief financial officer.

Yeah, but he likes
to think he's my boss.

[SARAH LAUGHS] Oh my God.

MAKENNA: Who's a handsome man?

Hmmm? Who's a handsome boy?

- [REX BARKS]
- It's Rexy's so handsome!

[MAKENNA LAUGHS] I love big dogs.

But we can't get one.

With baby on the way,

there's only so much chaos I can handle.

You're welcome to hang
out with Rex any time.

Thank you.

He clearly likes you.

- [BALL SQUEAKS]
- Oh, thank you buddy!

[MAKENNA LAUGHS]

So, Andrew tells me that you
and Sarah work together too!

- Mm-hmm.
- Can I ask?

Do you find it stressful?

We enjoy it.

- Really?
- Yeah.

And you're going to come
to dinner tomorrow night?

I'll try. Makenna is
going to go back this morning

after our meeting though.

She's got some business to
take care of back in Toronto.

Everything good between you two?

Sure! All good!

[ANDREW SIGHS] It's a
little problem at work.

It'll sort itself out.

You know, sometimes when
we work together all day

and I come home and see him there,

I just want to scream.

[MAKENNA CHUCKLES]

- Is that right?
- Yes, but Andrew says

that Sarah's much more
chill than I am, so,

lucky for you.

Oh, damn. Darling, we're gonna be late.

- We should go.
- [ANDREW SIGHS]

I'll be glad when this deal is done.

I get the feeling
Makenna doesn't like me.

Maybe she's the jealous type.

- [DOOR LOCK BEEPS]
- Yeah, but there's nothing to be jealous of.

Andrew's like a brother to me.

Does Makenna know that?

What are you guys doing here?

- BOTH: What are you doing here?
- SARAH: Aren't you flying today?

I forgot my shades!

- [REX BARKS]
- DONOVAN: That's right, buddy.

- I am out of here.
- [REX WHINES]

Don't get in any trouble while I'm gone!

[QUIRKY MUSIC]

[REX WHINES]

[REX GRUNTS]

[REX GROANS]

DONOVAN: Ah!

[REX WHINES]

Uh, yeah, sorry. Rex,
whenever he sees suitcases,

he um... knows the
pack's not gonna be together.

DONOVAN: Don't worry buddy.
I will be back in a week.

- [REX BARKS]
- One glorious week of fun and sun

with my phone off and my shades on.

- Enjoy the beach.
- I will!

- [SARAH CHUCKLES]
- [PHONE RINGS]

That's for you.

[DONOVAN CHUCKLES]

- SARAH: No.
- Yeah. No, okay.

[CHARLIE CHUCKLES]

Major Crimes.

Mm-hmm.

Yeah, okay, we'll be right there.

What do we have?

Aggravated as*ault. Chester Building.

That's where Andrew and Makenna work.

[TENSE MUSIC]

Sarah.

Andrew!

[DRAMATIC MUSIC]

[UPBEAT THEME MUSIC]

[OMINOUS MUSIC]

[REX SNIFFING]

[REX SNIFFING]

[INDISTINCT POLICE RADIO]

Hey.

So, the victim is a friend of Sarah's?

Yeah, Andrew Patel.

Best friends since university.

We went out to breakfast

with him and his wife this morning.

Is Andrew gonna make it?

It didn't look good.

Sarah's at the hospital now.

The att*ck happened in the elevator.

No witnesses.

We don't know how long
he was in the elevator

until the co-worker found him.

[REX BARKING]

[REX BARKING]

[REX BARKS]

[REX BARKS]

[REX GROWLS]

- Can you give me a hand?
- Yeah.

[REX BARKING]

[MYSTERIOUS MUSIC]

Good job, Rex. You
just found the w*apon.

You know what? If I can get the
ride data from this elevator,

I might be able to narrow
down the time of att*ck.

I'll talk to the co-workers.

Okay.

- Hi. Are you in charge here?
- Detective Hudson, SJPD.

- This is my partner, Rex.
- Chris Egan, Managing Director.

Hi, Rex.

Come on, this way.

Tucker Keefe.

VP Investments.

LILY: Hello. I'm Lily Richards.

CHRIS: I'd like some assurances

that you won't associate
Aurelian Equity with any of this.

We're a private investment firm.

We have interests in
multiple industries.

Our clients, they really
appreciate our stability.

CHARLIE: Oh, I can appreciate that

but we're investigating
an attempted m*rder,

so, your firm's PR really
isn't on my agenda.

Where were you during
the time of the att*ck?

I was right here

with my whole staff.

Andrew and Makenna were
working with us this morning.

- Mm-hmm.
- CHRIS: And it must have been around what,



Andrew went to walk Makenna to her car.

He was gone a while. But when...

CHRIS: When Andrew didn't come back,

after about an hour,

it was Lily who went out and found him.

[INTRIGUING MUSIC]

TUCKER: If you ask me,

this was one of those crackpots

that has it out against the company.

They're always threatening
us and Andrew got unlucky.

This could have been any one of us.

Wait, there were threats
against the company?

TUCKER: Of course.

In our business, if
you're not making enemies,

- you're not doing your job.
- [CHRIS CHUCKLES]

CHARLIE: Okay, well, I'm going
to need to take a look at those threats.

We'll have our assistant
send them over to you, okay?

CHARLIE: Thank you. Andrew Patel...

did he have any enemies in St.
John's that you're aware of?

[TUCKER SCOFFS]

- Besides his wife?
- Tucker!

[REX WHINES]

We all saw it.

What exactly did you see?

CHRIS: Andrew and Makenna exchanged
words in front of the elevator.

It got pretty heated.

Any idea what they were arguing about?

CHRIS: No, we couldn't hear.

And frankly, it's none of our business.

Listen, Detective, I think
that's about everything

we've got to tell you.

We've got to get back to
work. Is there anything else?

CHARLIE: Yeah, I'm gonna have
a few more questions for you.

Ms. Richards.

Could we have a word?

You know, I get a feeling
you know more about

Andrew and Makenna's argument
than you're willing to say

in front of your coworkers.

Well, like Chris said,
we didn't hear anything.

We saw it, though.

We were in the board room and
Andrew and Makenna were in the hall.

It was obviously tense between them.

Then Makenna got into the elevator.

Andrew stayed in the hall a minute

and I went out to talk to him.

Have a seat.

- You went out to talk with him?
- Yes.

- After the argument?
- Yes, but,

he didn't say what it was about.

He apologized for the disruption

but then he said he
shouldn't let her leave angry.

He got into the next elevator.

And the next time I saw him...

Mm-hmm.

And you have no idea
what the argument was about?

- No.
- I get the impression that,

it had something to do with you.

Why do you say that?

Something prompted them to
have an argument at work.

If it had been about work,

you and your colleagues
would have known the point

that they had disagreed
about. But it was personal.

You felt comfortable enough to
approach Andrew after the argument.

Most subordinates wouldn't do that.

Aurelian is preparing to acquire

an oil and gas company, Basque Energy.

We're set to finally sign in a few days.

Andrew and I have been
putting a lot of hours into it.

There's nothing more to it than that.

Is it possible that Andrew's wife

thinks that there's something
more to it than that?

It's possible.

CHARLIE: Jessie.

So, I managed to get a hold
of the elevator service company.

They're sending a guy to get
me the trip data from this car.

Good. I need you to check

if Makenna Jackson-Patel

made her flight to Toronto today.

And if she did,

I want you to see if you can find out

- what time she made it to the airport.
- Yeah, yeah, you've got it.

- CHARLIE: Hey.
- [INDISTINCT PA]

[SARAH SIGHS]

Hey.

[SOFT MUSIC]

CHARLIE: You doing okay?

I don't know.

Have you been able to get
in touch with Makenna yet?

Not yet.

Her flight probably
hasn't even landed yet.

Have you found anything?

- Hey.
- Rex found the w*apon that was used

for the as*ault in the elevator.

Andrew and Makenna's
colleagues at Aurelian Equity,

they said that the two
of them were fighting

before she left for the airport.

Andrew said something this morning

that Makenna hasn't been herself lately.

I think he's been working closely

with a woman in the St. John's office.

Lily Richards.

[SARAH SIGHS] Okay, I mean,

Makenna may be the jealous
type, but Charlie, I...

I can't imagine that she would do this.

You don't think she's capable?

- [PHONE PINGS]
- I mean, I don't know her that well.

Jesse just texted me. He
said she did get on her flight

and it departed at 2:00.

Does that mean that she left the
office before the att*ck on Andrew?

Well, we don't know yet just
because Jesse still is narrowing down

the time for the att*ck.
We can't rule her out yet.

Okay.

I'll tell my team to go to the airport

- and check her rental car for blood.
- It's all done.

So, you think she may have done this?

Uh, I mean it's early,

but I want to be the one to talk to her

just to see her reaction.

No. No, no, no.

I'm gonna go.

I'm gonna talk to her.

- You're gonna go to Toronto?
- Yeah.

My best friend is in surgery

and they don't know if
he's gonna make it, okay?

So, if Makenna did this to
Andrew, then I wanna know.

[DRAMATIC MUSIC]

JESSE: So, you think that
maybe Andrew Patel was att*cked

by his wife after an argument.

But Sarah's on her way to
Toronto to interrogate the wife?

Or comfort her. It
could go either way. So,

did you find out what time
Makenna arrived at the airport?

Yeah, her rental car was
returned at 1:10 this afternoon

and airport security has her
checking through ten minutes later.

Uh-huh. Makenna left
the office at 12:30.

So, a 15-minute trip took her 40 minutes.

Mm-hmm.

What have you got on the elevator data?

Well, it's a Sunday.

So, there weren't many
elevator calls. That helps us.

There are... Here we go, yeah.

There are two elevator cars.

Aurelian Equity is on the fourth floor.

So, the first one,

gets called from the fourth floor

to the parking garage at 12:32.

That's Makenna leaving.

Yes, a couple of minutes later,

this one gets called
up to the fourth floor.

It then goes back down
to the parking garage.

That's Andrew chasing Makenna.

And as this one is on its
way to the parking garage,

this one returns to its
default position at the lobby.

Which one was Andrew found on?

The one he took down
to the parking garage.

A couple of minutes later,
after it got to the parking garage,

it goes back up to the fourth floor.

Okay, so the assailant would
have either had to follow Andrew

onto the elevator from
the parking garage

or from the fourth floor.

Either way, the att*ck had to happen

between 12:37 and when Andrew
was found just after 1:00.

Yeah, okay. So, assuming
that the att*ck happened

inside the elevator
with the doors closed,

the assailant would have had
to have gotten off on the fourth floor.

Yeah.

The car didn't make any
other stops along the way.

From there they could have taken
the stairs to exit the building.

That, plus having to clean herself up

that could account for
why Makenna was late

getting to the airport.
I'm gonna check with forensics

and see if they found
anything in her car.

Okay.

[ROBOT WHIRRING]

[JESSE CHUCKLES]

- Rex, you coming?
- [REX YELPS]

[DISTANT SIREN]

SARAH: Thanks, Charlie.
No no, I'm just arriving now.

Okay. Yeah, I'll let you know
what she says as soon as I can.

Okay.

[SARAH SIGHS]

MAKENNA: You're telling
me Andrew is in surgery?

- Why didn't anyone call me?
- I asked them not to.

- I beg your pardon?
- Makenna.

Makenna...

Andrew was att*cked.

He was badly beaten

not long after you were seen
leaving Aurelian Equity.

My team is looking for
the person who did it.

Several witnesses said
you had an argument,

a heated argument with Andrew

- before you left the office today.
- We argued.

We argued.

But this... [MAKENNA CRIES]

Look, I know,

you and I never got on.

But I didn't know you
had such a low opinion of me!

My opinion has nothing
to do with it. Makenna...

This is an investigation.

Don't you dare stand there
and hide behind your job!

Come out and say it, Sarah!

Say it! You think I
tried to hurt my husband!

You think I tried to k*ll him!

I hope you didn't.

But I want to know the truth.

I certainly did not.

When did you last see Andrew?

- At the office.
- Where at the office?

Actually in the office? The parking lot?

- The elevator?
- This is ridiculous!

I left him in the hallway
in front of the elevator.

That's the last time I saw him.

We, uh...

think he went after you

to the parking garage.

He must have just missed me.

He tried to call a few times

but I didn't answer, I was too angry.

I need to see him.

I need to get there but I
don't know if it's safe to fly.

There may be something
wrong with the baby.

SARAH: They just called.
Andrew is out of surgery

- but he's still in critical condition.
- All right.

And I still haven't
gotten the full story

but Makenna just told me

that she's having
symptoms of early labour.

So, she's calling her doctor now.

Um, yeah, I'd be worried
that some of those symptoms

are from the stress and
exertion of attempted m*rder.

But I just... I talked to your team

and they said they
checked Makenna's car.

There's no signs of blood.

It would have been impossible

for the attacker to walk
away without any blood.

Unless she cleaned up
somewhere in the building

before she got in car.

It took her twice as long to get
to the airport as it should have.

You don't have any other leads?

Well, we're just gonna check
into some of the threats

that were made to the company.

This group that's
protesting the Basque deal...

They could be worth looking into.
Andrew was working directly on it.

Okay, keep me posted.

Hey. Um...

Give Rex a scratch for me please.

[MAKENNA TALKING IN BACKGROUND]

Got anything, Jesse?

Oh, I hope so.

I cross-referenced identified
threats against Aurelian Equity

with people who had access
to the office building

where Andrew Patel was att*cked.

One name shows up on
both of those lists.

CHARLIE: Brody Hynes.

I understand you
were on a construction crew

that was working at the
Chester building last week.

Yeah, it's my buddy's crew.

- He throws me part-time jobs when he can.
- Ah.

- So... ?
- So, um...

Aurelian Equity also has offices
at the Chester Building.

And one of their executives
was att*cked yesterday.

[BRODY SCOFFS] Well, I didn't do it.

But you did send Aurelian
some threatening emails

over the past few months, I think.

Right? I stopped counting at 17.

Oh, so you read my emails?

Well, tell me that I'm wrong, then!

Those guys are
money-sucking scumbags, all right?

I worked at that plant ten
years steady down in Bowmanville.

Come to find out, that due
to some accounting error,

there's still thousands of dollars
that they owe me on payroll.

But before I could get my money...

Oh, Aurelian, they buy the company,

and now they decide that
they don't need to pay.

- So...
- Huh.

- Did you talk to a lawyer?
- [BRODY SCOFFS]

Who are you kidding?

My lawyer folded
when he saw the Toronto firm

- he was going to go up against.
- So, what you're telling me

is you had no recourse

and that you took matters into
your own hands with the emails,

but you still didn't get your money.

But that doesn't mean
I'm gonna att*ck anyone!

How is that gonna help my family?

So, now you're holding Brody?

Your husband made explicit threats

against executives
over at Aurelian Equity

and one of those executives
is in the hospital now.

- So, until we can establish...
- I told Brody not to send them letters.

But that kind of injustice tests a man.

Give us a hand.

- Oh, yeah, okay.
- That company owes us



It might not seem like much
to them but it's a lot to us.

No, I understand that Mrs. Hynes

and I understand that your
husband must have been angry,

but how angry was he?

If you came here to get me to help you

build a case against my husband,

you've wasted your time.

Brody wouldn't hurt anyone,

no matter how much those
rich jerks deserve it.

Yeah, well, I mean,
he does have a record.

A few disorderlies and an as*ault, so...

Years ago.

But we've got three kids since then.

And Brody knows full well

that if he goes to jail and
leaves me alone with them,

I'll k*ll him myself.

JESSE: Okay, so we are
not letting him go?

CHARLIE: No, Jesse.
We cannot let Brody Hynes go.

But without the
fingerprints on the w*apon,

we're probably not gonna be
able to hold him for very long.

Yeah, well, I hope for
his sake he didn't do it.

Huh.

Boy.

Mmm.

[JESSE SIGHS]

So, back to the threats
against Aurelian Equity?

- Yeah. Yeah, thank you.
- Got it.

[COMPUTER BEEPING]

JESSE: Charlie, most of these
have to do with the Basque Energy deal.

That's the one that Andrew was
working on with Lily Richards.

Yeah. Environmental
activists are not happy about it.

- That could make him a target.
- This one's different.

- How so?
- Well, it's addressed to Lily Richards.

It seems personal.

"I don't know why you're
hiding yourself, Lily.

You can't hide from me.
You can't run away".

I thought that Lily wasn't
telling me everything yesterday.

- Thanks, Jesse.
- Yeah.

Yeah. Rex.

Come on.

What did the doctor say today?

She's telling me to rest.

Stay calm.

I'd be more calm if
I could be with Andrew

but she doesn't want me to fly.

Not until we know what's going on.

So, if the contractions
subside after a walk,

that will be a good sign
that it's just Braxton-Hicks?

You're the doctor.

Obstetrics really isn't my specialty.

To hear Andrew tell it, you're
good at absolutely everything.

I could say the same about you.

Except you think I'm capable of m*rder.

The truth is, Makenna,

I just don't know you
well enough to know.

Well, what better way
to get to know each other

than an interrogation, Detective.

Fire away.

What else do you need to know
about my movements yesterday?

Charlie said he doesn't
think that you went

directly from the office to the airport.

Right. That's true. I drove part way

and then I turned around.

I was going back to talk to Andrew.

My mother always said never
get on a plane angry, so...

In the end, that's exactly what I did.

I turned back around.

And the argument with Andrew,

that was about Lily Richards?

Oh!

Detectives are on the case!

What did you find out about Lily?

She told Charlie there was no affair.

I trust my intuition.

Something is going on between them.

Late night texts.

Closing the door when
he would take her calls.

And when you asked him about it ?

He swore it was just work.

And I believed him...

until I got to St. John's.

As soon as I saw them together, I knew.

What if Andrew isn't
who I thought he was?

I don't believe Andrew
would ever have an affair.

I hope you're right!

[KNOCKING ON DOOR]

Ms. Richards.

It's Charlie Hudson,
SJPD. We spoke yesterday.

[REX BARKS]

I have Rex with me.

[DOOR LOCKS UNLATCHING]

Hi. Your office,

they said you didn't
come in to work today.

I wasn't feeling well.

Is somebody in there
with you Ms. Richards?

No, I'm alone.

Can Rex and I come in and check?

Ms. Richards. Are you afraid that
the man who att*cked Andrew Patel

might come after you?

I don't know.

I don't know why anyone would
do what they did to Andrew.

But you're afraid for your safety.

I think you have the right to be.

This email... It was with the
other threats to Aurelian Equity.

Take a look.

[REX WHINES]

[LILY SIGHS]

If this person att*cked Andrew...

it was my fault!

What would this email
have to do with Andrew?

It's from the man
who's been stalking me.

[DRAMATIC PERCUSSION]

Someone has been messaging
me every day for months.

They leave notes on my
windshield, under my door.

I have no idea who it is.

- Have you noticed anyone following you?
- Never.

But then two weeks ago,

I woke up in the middle of the night

and there was a man was in my bedroom.

Did you see his face?

No, he had something over it.

He didn't touch me.

And then he left after
he knew I had seen him.

I think he just wanted me
to know that he was there,

that he could get to me.

How did he get in the house?

The police said there was
no sign of a break-in.

To be honest, I don't
think they believed me.

I've moved three times in the
past six months, Detective.

He finds my address every time.

But that was the first time he came in

- to my knowledge.
- [REX WHINES]

Hello. Thank you.

Besides the police,
who else have you told?

My family knows.

A few friends. And Andrew.

So, you confided in Andrew.

He kept Chris and Tucker off my back.

I just want to get out
of the St. John's office

as soon as the Basque deal is done.

And Andrew agreed to transfer me

to one of Aurelian's other locations.

Have you and Andrew been
seen outside the office

- together in the last few days?
- Yes.

We had a working lunch
downtown a couple of days ago.

Did the stalker contact
you after that lunch?

Yes! Yes, he did!

She's being stalked.

- Wow.
- Yeah.

I'm thinking that if

Andrew's wife thought that
he was having an affair,

maybe Lily's stalker
thinks the exact same thing.

So, Andrew was att*cked by
the stalker out of jealousy.

Yeah, let's get this scumbag.

Lily saved all the
messages from this guy

going back six months.
The files are on here.

- I'll get you hard copies.
- I'll get you pizza.

SARAH: Makenna?

[SARAH SIGHS] Lily Richards is
being terrorized by a stalker.

She went to Andrew for help.

That's the secret they were keeping.

Why Andrew?

Andrew's been helping her
deliver the Basque Energy deal

and arranging a transfer
out of St. John's.

What a fool.

Why wouldn't he tell me?

What's your corporate policy
around employee confidentiality?

Unless he believed the stalker
was someone inside the company,

- he would... he would
- Felt obliged to do as Lily asked.

[MAKENNA BREATHES SHAKILY]

- I misread all the signs.
- No, no.

Your gut told you that
something was going on

and you were right.

But Makenna, you couldn't have
known what the real story was.

I should have trusted him.

God, the last time he
saw me, I was furious.

I'm sure Andrew understood where
your fears were coming from.

I'm feeling better.

I need to see him, please.

Okay.

Let's go get you packed.

You're coming with?

I'll book the flights.

[SOFT MUSIC]

- [CHARLIE YAWNS]
- [REX WHINES]

I'm sorry, buddy. Yeah.

Hi. Are you thirsty?

Yeah. Okay, pal.

JESSE: This guy is a
sick creep, Charlie.

I mean first, he claims it's
fate for them to be together

and that no one will
love her like he does,

and then three minutes
later, he sends her a message

saying that the dress she wore
that day makes her look stupid.

Lets her know he is watching

and that she's not measuring up.

Yeah, followed by:

"You would be lucky to be with me."

I just... I need a
shower to clean this off.

Any luck tracing these messages?

No. No, he's using open relay servers

and encrypted SMS services.

Ironically, he takes his
own privacy very seriously.

What's her online protection like?

I just wish I was there to
lock it down for her months ago.

Never too late.

Yeah.

- Yeah, absolutely.
- Okay, great. I'll ask her.

I have to check with her on
something else anyway. Okay.

Thanks. Oh, um...

- Go home, get some sleep.
- No, you know what?

I need a palate cleanser. I'll
probably just watch The Shining.

[REX BARKS]

I'm kidding, buddy.

It's too scary.

[CHARLIE WHISTLES]

REDRUM!

LILY: Did you find anything?

[CHARLIE SIGHS]

He's covered his tracks very carefully.

[LILY SHUDDERS]

- Well, thanks for trying, Detective.
- No, no, no, no. We're not giving up yet.

[REX WHINES]

- [REX MOANS]
- [LILY CHUCKLES]

Thanks, Rex.

I noticed in the
messages that the stalker sent,

- he's mentioned your work several times.
- [LILY SIGHS]

Like that's what's keeping us apart.

If I wasn't so busy at work,

I'd have time to answer him.

The harassment has affected your work.

It could have put the deal in jeopardy.

I'm wondering if that may have
been part of the objective.

Wait. He's stalking me to sink the deal?

Maybe that's where his fixation started.

Is there anyone that you
can think of, anyone,

related to the Basque deal?

[LILY BREATHES SHAKILY]

Everyone I've worked
with or spoken to about it

wants the deal to go through.

- [CHARLIE SIGHS]
- I'm sorry I can't be of more help, Detective.

No, you have no need to apologize.

You've been a big help.

Listen, I wanted to mention to you,

I have a colleague...

He said he could come by tomorrow

and help improve your digital
security if you'd like.

That's very kind.
Yes, yes I'd appreciate that.

Okay, I'll tell him.

You'll call if you need to?

- Promise?
- Yes.

- Good night.
- Good night.

Good. You're here.

Have a...

Have a look.

Responsibility for the brutal att*ck

that left a Toronto man
in hospital yesterday

was claimed by a concerned citizen

calling on Aurelian Equity

to halt its planned
purchase of Basque Oil.

In a message sent to our newsroom,

Concerned Citizen writes quote

"Rich corporate scum
are the greatest thr*at

to the health of our planet."

[REX GROWLS]

What are you gonna do about this?

Well, I'm gonna add Concerned
Citizen to the investigation.

In the meantime, consider
delaying your deal.

Yeah, that's not gonna happen.

LILY: Andrew was ready to sign
off on the deal before.

- Technically, we can go ahead.
- But...

should we?

I would like to know that that
homicidal maniac is behind bars first.

- Wow, they've got you running scared.
- Yeah!

LILY: The board might
need to decide on this.

The board doesn't need
to decide on anything!

Yeah, I'm gonna leave you to it.

- Rex.
- This is our call!

TUCKER: You're gonna put
us all at risk, is that it?

[DOOR LOCK BEEPS]

[INDISTINCT OFFICE CHATTER]

- Charlie.
- Yeah.

I have been running all the
threats against Aurelian Equity

- through linguistics comparison software.
- Yeah?

Including this morning's public letter?

- Yes.
- [COMPUTER BEEPING]

Yeah, take a look.

Now, the messages sent after
the att*ck on Andrew Patel

compared with emails
from before the att*ck.

- Okay?
- Now phrases from the latest letters

match phrases from Brody's emails.

You said you didn't think they
came from the same account.

Right, I think the latest threats

were written by someone trying
to copy Brody's language.

Maybe he was, I don't know,

trying to recruit friends for his cause.

Oh.

Or he's trying to sound like Brody.

Someone who had access to the emails.

As far as I know, that's just
the firm executive and us.

Hmm. Right.

Right.

Yeah. The demand to halt the Basque deal

is coming from inside Aurelian Equity.

[CHARLIE SCOFFS]

MAKENNA: You can draw it up, Chris

but it needs to be vetted by the board.

Fine.

What is it?

Chris Egan.

What?

He's going ahead with the deal,

wants to make a statement,

tell the public we won't be intimidated.

But if someone out there is
trying to control the situation

that seems likely to fan the flames, no?

And there's no up side.

Aurelian Equity does not
like being in the news.

And certainly not for
something like this.

But Chris is pushing for it anyway?

He's not one to take orders
from an anonymous bully

or a senior woman at the
firm, for that matter.

Oh, so he's reacting
from an emotional place

rather than from his business sense.

And he'd never admit to that.

It's fine. I'll make a few
calls on the way to the airport.

The board will shut it down.

How will the stock price be affected

if the Basque deal doesn't go through?

Stocks will drop.

Does anybody stand to
make money from that?

Only if they short the stock.

CHARLIE: Sarah's theory is good.

If someone did bet against
the Basque acquisition,

it would have given them a reason
to stop the deal. Come on, pal!

JESSE: How could anybody
know that there would be

an attempt on Andrew Patel's life?

Well, they would know if
they did it themselves.

Andrew was here to
keep the deal on track

and make sure that it went through.

So, check the trading records.

Okay, if it is somebody at Aurelian,

they're risking insider
trading charges, okay?

They would be a fool to
leave any trace of it.

Okay, well, I need to pick up
Sarah and Makenna from the airport

but I'm sure you'll
have that figured out

- by the time I get back.
- Yeah.

- Haha. No problem.
- You're a legend.

[MONITOR BEEPING]

[INDISTINCT PA]

[MAKENNA CRIES SOFTLY]

What is the doctor saying?

The bleeding in Andrew's
brain is under control.

And his GCS score is cause for optimism.

Why isn't he waking up?

He needs time to heal.

- What do we do now?
- We wait.

[INDISTINCT PA]

[DOOR LOCK BEEPS]

- Jesse, what have you got?
- Mmm!

Okay.

One trader shorted Basque heavily.

Now, at the rates the
stocks have been falling

over the last couple of days,

they stand to make
almost a million dollars

- if this deal falls apart.
- Okay, you got a name for me?

- Mm-hmm.
- [COMPUTER BEEPS]

Tucker Keefe.

You shorted the Basque energy stock.

- Why?
- I wanted out.

And I could have made
enough money to retire.

If you hadn't got caught.

Yeah, well, I didn't plan on that.

Mm-hmm. So, two weeks ago, the
acquisition is going through.

The Basque energy stock is going up.

But you invested all your savings

that the deal was going to fall through?

Because Lily was losing her mind.

We all saw it.

She was the brains behind this deal

and she was falling apart spectacularly!

So, you saw your opportunity. Then...

Andrew came to town.

And he was going to keep
Lily and the deal on track.

- You had to take him out.
- [DRAMATIC MUSIC]

You think I took a lug wrench

- to Andrew Patel?
- Did you?

I want money! I'm not a sociopath!

You invested all of your savings

betting that Lily's deal
was gonna fall through.

And Andrew was trying
to get the deal closed.

- That retirement fund
- Right,

- was disappearing before your eyes!
- ... but look!

Did I exploit an opportunity
after Andrew was att*cked?

Yes.

But I only came up with that idea

after someone else put
him in the hospital!

Yeah, but you wrote
the Concerned Citizen emails.

Right?

- Yeah. Yeah, okay?
- Right?

I figured worst case,

it would shake investors
confidence for a day or two

and maybe I could break even.

And you were in that board room

with Chris and Lily the whole time

until Lily went to go check on Andrew?

- They'll confirm that?
- Yeah.

I mean Chris popped out to
take a phone call at one point

but I never left the board room.

How long was he gone for?

- Hi.
- Just in time.

I have a fresh pot of coffee on.

Oh, sounds wonderful! May I?

- Come in!
- Okay, thank you.

Front.

- [DRAMATIC MUSIC]
- Hello, Lily.

You!

[LILY SCREAMS]

- Lily, go, go!
- [MEN GRUNTING]

Don't move! Egan!

Stand up! Now!

Don't! Move!

Jesse, you okay?

JESSE: Yeah.

Cuff him.

Turn around.

- Where's Lily?
- [DOOR OPENS]

- You all right?
- Aghh!

[LILY SCREAMS]

[REX BARKS]

[REX GROWLS]

CHRIS: Aghhh!

[CHRIS SIGHS]

Everything that happened
could have been avoided

- everything -

if Lily had just done the right thing.

CHARLIE: Yeah, I suppose that
a lot of women in Lily's position,

they would have been grateful
for your attention.

Lily was.

But she wanted to play
these stupid little games.

Spending time with Andrew Patel,
was that one of Lily's games?

Oh, yeah. Andrew Patel. Come on.

So, you had to take action.

I was extraordinary patient with Lily.

Extraordinarily.

But she caused a problem
and I had to solve it.

By attacking Andrew.

To show her the lengths I would go.

You know how it is.

Women...

They just...

[SIGHS]

like to be pursued.

JESSE: Okay, so you just need to

sign your statement here and
you'll be all done for now.

Thank you for everything,
Detective Mills.

I wish I could show you,

Rex and Detective Hudson
how much I appreciate

what you've done.

Uh... You know what?

There might be something
you could help us out with.

[MONITOR BEEPING]

Thank you for coming.

- LILY: How is he doing?
- No change.

Are you okay?

I will be.

Thank you.

LILY: You're welcome.

I thought you'd blame me
for what happened to Andrew.

I mean, if I hadn't
kept it all a secret...

Andrew was hurt by an obsessive...

- What would you call it, Sarah?
- Narcissist.

Narcissist.

What Chris Egan did, was not your fault

- nor your responsibility.
- Thank you.

You will let me know
if anything changes?

I will.

Oh, pardon me.
