00:00:38Are you trying to surpass the Burj Khalifa as world's tallest structure?
00:00:42The bride wanted seven tiers for her lucky prime number.
00:00:47Maybe we will get lucky this weekend and meet a couple millionaires of our own.
00:00:51I feel like I'm going to be piping champagne buttercream in my sleep tonight.
00:00:57Well, you're optimistic. What's sleep?
00:01:00Hmm.
00:01:01Is this side an eighth of an inch shorter than this side?
00:01:06Okay. Is this because you are catering the society wedding of the decade or because it's Jessamyn's wedding?
00:01:12Both. In no particular order. Admit it. You just want Jessamyn to eat her words about your little business.
00:01:18Is that so wrong?
00:01:20Did I hear my name?
00:01:23Oh, Goldie. Your cake is stunning.
00:01:27Well, it's not done, but thank you so much.
00:01:30What are you talking about, Mother? Those are macadamia nuts on my wedding cake.
00:01:35I told Goldie a thousand times Sterling's allergic to tree nuts.
00:01:40And is that a Juliet rose I see?
00:01:43You know that Romeo and Juliet's love went from epic to tragic almost overnight, right?
00:01:48Why not just break a mirror on my cake?
00:01:51Jessamyn. Jessamyn.
00:01:53Well, well, we can replace the Juliet rose with a, um, um, a Paonia lactiflora.
00:02:06A peony.
00:02:07Those stand for love and good fortune.
00:02:09Love and good fortune.
00:02:10Good.
00:02:11And also, they aren't macadamia nuts. They are pure Madagascar white chocolate.
00:02:18There is not a nut in sight.
00:02:20It's not for the one in front of us.
00:02:23Mmm.
00:02:26Still, get rid of them.
00:02:29Pearls of any sort represent future tears and heartache in a marriage.
00:02:33Do I have to micromanage everything?
00:02:35Let's go, Mother.
00:02:37Well, as expected, she is the ultimate bridezilla.
00:02:45And she is also our client.
00:02:46And nothing is going to stop us from putting on the most memorable rehearsal dinner and wedding reception Elk Park has ever seen.
00:02:52Even if it kills us.
00:02:54Now, let's go find some peonies.
00:03:07Hey.
00:03:08Hey.
00:03:09Is that him?
00:03:10He's not the guy.
00:03:11Mom, the bounty of these kids.
00:03:12Oh, he's so unknown to all.
00:03:13My baby has our first crush.
00:03:32What's up, man?
00:03:46Sterling Bridgewater finally came back to Elk Park.
00:03:51Goldenberry.
00:03:52Oh, I haven't been called that in forever.
00:03:54You haven't aged the day.
00:03:55Oh, and you're still the charmer.
00:03:57Apparently not charming enough.
00:03:59Let's just say not everyone has given me his warm welcome.
00:04:01Well, you and Hunter are going to be family now,
00:04:04so you're just going to have to play nice.
00:04:06I always play nice.
00:04:08Even if my future brother-in-law doesn't.
00:04:10That is Elk Park for you.
00:04:25She does light up a room, doesn't she?
00:04:26I mean...
00:04:27Excuse me.
00:04:28Yes, of course.
00:04:31Hi, ladies.
00:04:32Hi, ladies.
00:04:38Pinch me.
00:04:39My dreaming, or is this actually happening?
00:04:41Ow!
00:04:42What?
00:04:43What for a delicate flower?
00:04:44You are stronger than you look.
00:04:46It's all the espresso.
00:04:47Goldie and Marla.
00:04:48You guys, it's been forever.
00:04:50Katie.
00:04:51Aw.
00:04:52I thought that was you out there.
00:04:55So wait, you're a bridesmaid?
00:04:57Maid of honor, actually.
00:04:58Wow.
00:04:59I guess I didn't realize that you and Jess were friends in high school.
00:05:03Yeah, we kept in touch even though we went to different state colleges, but we're BFFs now.
00:05:07Crazy, right?
00:05:09Well, you look great.
00:05:10How are you?
00:05:11Never better.
00:05:12Here you go, babes.
00:05:13Thanks, honey.
00:05:14Goldie, Marla, this is my boyfriend, Ray, and Sterling's best man.
00:05:18Hi, these are my old high school friends.
00:05:20Minus the old part.
00:05:21So, did you guys meet in San Francisco?
00:05:24Born and raised.
00:05:25I was a classmate to Sterling in college, and Katie had just broken poor Sterling's heart.
00:05:30Oh, please, you love that you got the girl.
00:05:32Guilty.
00:05:33I'm a lucky man.
00:05:35And is that when Jess and Sterling started seeing each other?
00:05:39No, that was way after that.
00:05:41They reconnected at one of our house parties, right babes?
00:05:43Yeah, yeah, just after she and Tom got divorced.
00:05:45She'd been living in San Francisco for a few years by then, and we were hanging out.
00:05:50Ray and I invited her over, she and Sterling reconnected, and here we are.
00:05:55Hey, Ray.
00:05:56Uh, sorry ladies, there's a 30 year single mouth calling.
00:06:00Uh, nice to meet you.
00:06:02Nice to meet you.
00:06:03Hey, let's all grab lunch after the wedding to catch up.
00:06:06That would be great.
00:06:07Yeah, have fun.
00:06:09Ah, what a cute couple.
00:06:11Don't you hate being single with these things?
00:06:14You will always be my best friend.
00:06:16Mmm.
00:06:18Ma'am, these are so good.
00:06:20You're liking those, aren't you?

00:06:35Actually, they're bison.
00:06:37Bison?
00:06:38Yeah.
00:06:39Per the bride's request.
00:06:40Mm-hmm.
00:06:41Of course they are.
00:06:42Yeah.
00:06:43Well, I better grab a couple of more and get my money's worth.
00:06:45There you go.
00:06:48You know, he's accepted Jess as his own.
00:06:50She looks so happy.
00:06:53Doesn't she?
00:06:54With her band of besties.
00:06:59Well, I think it's really nice that so many people have found love a second time around.

00:07:25I doubt yours.
00:07:26While she's distracted planning this wedding, you're quietly trying to poach her high-end clients.

00:26:33uh

00:26:56Oh, Chester.
00:27:09Sorry, I didn't mean to scare you.
00:27:10I saw you in x-ray, but you're walking away so fast.
00:27:13Yeah, basements and hospitals aren't my favorite.
00:27:18What are you doing in x-ray?
00:27:20Is it about the bruise?
00:27:21My ego is more bruised than this eye.
00:27:23But I got the all clear.
00:27:25It's not a concussion.
00:27:26Well, that's good.
00:27:28What did happen?
00:27:31Just a heated basketball game.
00:27:35It serves me right for trying to show up a bunch of teens.
00:27:39The morning of the wedding?
00:27:41That's brave.
00:27:43It was an early game.
00:27:45I coached underserved kids basketball.
00:27:48I didn't know that.
00:27:49Yeah, hoops for teens.
00:27:52Jessamyn signed me up.
00:27:53She said it would be a good image for our brand.
00:27:55But it's fun.
00:27:57Hmm.
00:27:57I could have sworn Hunter said that the program was shut down for two weeks.
00:28:02Hmm.
00:28:08Hey.
00:28:08What's up?
00:28:11I had just ran into Chester.
00:28:13And you need to recheck his alibi.
00:28:15I think he's lying about how he got that eye.
00:28:18I wish I could.
00:28:19I'm off the case.
00:28:21What?
00:28:22Conflict of interest.
00:28:24I'm pushing paper now.
00:28:25Then who's running the case?
00:28:27Mason?
00:28:28No.
00:28:28No, they brought in an outside detective.
00:28:30This guy, Dave Track.
00:28:33You say his name like you know him.
00:28:35There's history there.
00:28:36He's done some shady things to solve crimes.
00:28:39Why would they bring someone like that in?
00:28:41It was out of my control.
00:28:43I'm sorry.
00:28:44Look.
00:28:45Whoever killed Sterling is also responsible for Jess's disappearance.
00:28:49Mm-hmm.
00:28:50The first 48 hours are crucial.
00:28:52Okay, so what can I do?
00:28:54How can I help?
00:28:56What can I do?
00:28:57Can I break into Quinn's office and steal the autopsy report?
00:29:00What?
00:29:08No.
00:29:09No.
00:29:10I was kidding.
00:29:11Listen.
00:29:11You can't do that.
00:29:12I know you have to say what you have to say, but like, we...
00:29:15I got it.
00:29:16I got you.
00:29:16You can't.
00:29:17I hear you.
00:29:17If you hear...
00:29:18Don't worry about it.
00:29:18It's going to be fine.
00:29:30Hey, Mason.
00:29:37Hey, Goldie.
00:29:38Hi.
00:29:39Are those Snick-O-Doodle muffins?
00:29:41Those are, like, my favorite.
00:29:43Really?
00:29:44I didn't know that.
00:29:45Well, I was bringing them to the precinct, but here.
00:29:47Help yourself.
00:29:49If you don't mind.
00:29:50Yeah.
00:29:52Oh.
00:29:54It was so good.
00:29:56Oh, thank you.
00:29:58You must be so busy with both cases.
00:30:00Yeah.
00:30:01Yeah.
00:30:02But I can't really talk about it.
00:30:03Mm.
00:30:04You know.
00:30:04Of course.
00:30:06I just can't stop thinking about Sterling and what happened and just the pain that he must
00:30:12have been in.
00:30:13I mean, he had blunt force trauma to the head, but Quinn found champagne in his lungs.
00:30:19Drowning's not as painful as you'd think.
00:30:20Sure, the champagne burns a bit, but then Sterling probably drifted off to sleep.
00:30:24So, you know, if it helps, I hear it's a peaceful way to go.
00:30:27Mm.
00:30:27So, cause of death was drowning.
00:30:33Boy, what's in these Snick-O-Doodle muffins?
00:30:35Chew serum?
00:30:37Gotta go.
00:30:38Oh, Mason.
00:30:41Oh.
00:30:43Thanks.
00:30:44Bye, Mason.
00:30:46Bye, Goldie.
00:31:00Here you go.
00:31:03Um, CCTV cameras around town should have no sign of chess, but the forensics came back on
00:31:08the candle holder.
00:31:10It's a mass adjustment to DNA.
00:31:11The thing is, there are multiple prints from the wedding party, plus a few partials, but
00:31:16they're too smeared to ID.
00:31:17No hits in CODIS.
00:31:18So whoever ditched the candle holder is likely a murderer.
00:31:22They're either very sloppy or brilliant.
00:31:26With all the prints, we would be just spinning our wheels going nowhere, and they know it.
00:31:31Whose idea was it to search the dumpsters outside of the hotel?
00:31:35Tom's, but...
00:31:35It was also Tom's DNA on the victim's shoe, right?
00:31:37Yeah, but that'll...
00:31:38And guess who's the beneficiary of Jessamyn's life insurance policy.
00:31:43I hate to say it.
00:31:45Looks like we have a new person of interest.
00:31:47No, exactly.
00:31:55When does that happen?
00:31:56Hi!
00:31:57Can I help you ladies with anything?
00:31:58Just looking for now.
00:31:59Thanks.
00:32:00Honestly, so weird.
00:32:02I know.
00:32:02The lab results were so random, but I saw Quinn emptying the stomach contents myself.
00:32:07Newly dead on his wedding day.
00:32:09Poor guy.
00:32:09He had a swollen tongue, contact dermatitis on his hand, but no food in his stomach?
00:32:14It's plain weird.
00:32:16Hey, how about this?
00:32:17Your mom loves lilies.
00:32:19Do this one.
00:32:22And...
00:32:23I had to.
00:32:25Does it ever stop?
00:32:27No.
00:32:28No!
00:32:29Well, thank you for feeding me.
00:32:34You know, you didn't have to.
00:32:35Have you met me?
00:32:37You know, your food's good, but...
00:32:40Your company's even better.
00:32:43It goes both ways.
00:32:47How are you, um, holding up?
00:32:50I mean, I know...
00:32:52You and Jess aren't together anymore, but still, this has to be hard.
00:32:56I might not be in love with Jess still, but I just don't want anything bad to happen to her, you know?
00:33:00Of course not.
00:33:01No one does.
00:33:05I feel...
00:33:07I'm stuck now that I'm desked.
00:33:11I feel lost without my murder board.
00:33:20What?
00:33:21What?
00:33:24Not again.
00:33:26Goldie.
00:33:26Okay, listen.
00:33:27Don't be mad.
00:33:28All right?
00:33:40I, uh, you know, printed out the pictures of the bridal party and used Marla's leftover flowers.
00:33:46And they threw the seating chart out, so I took that and, well, those were just pretty.
00:33:50And I, uh, you know, made a, um, murder board.
00:33:55Yeah.
00:33:57Well, it's certainly the prettiest murder board I've ever seen.
00:34:02You're not going to lecture me, are you?
00:34:04I think it's downright brilliant.
00:34:08Well, in that case...
00:34:09Blunt, force, trauma.
00:34:23Cause of death.
00:34:24Drowning.
00:34:25Wait, are you, are you just guessing?
00:34:27Uh, it's a, it's a little more than a hunch.
00:34:30Um, allergic reaction, that's a question mark.
00:34:33How did you get your hands on the autopsy report?
00:34:36Nothing illegal.
00:34:37Um, stomach was empty.
00:34:40Goldie.
00:34:41You're something else.
00:34:42Is that a good thing or a bad thing?
00:34:44It's definitely a good thing.
00:34:46Okay, so, Hunter was saying something about selling bad software.
00:34:54You know anything about that?
00:34:55Oh, yeah.
00:34:56Well, when Sterling's family moved here from New York,
00:35:00his dad convinced a lot of people to fund a startup
00:35:03whose software was supposed to be fail-safe.
00:35:06Well, they didn't read the fine print, and he wanted it that way,
00:35:09because in the end, his bad software caused, well, pretty much everybody to lose their money.
00:35:15The only people that made money was Sterling's family, who then skipped town.
00:35:18Yeah, but wait, that was years ago.
00:35:20Sterling was just a teenager.
00:35:21It was his father that scammed them, not Sterling.
00:35:23It's Elk Park.
00:35:24It's a small town.
00:35:25I mean, people remember these things.
00:35:28Yeah, revenge is a timeless motive for murder.
00:35:31I wonder which families were affected.
00:35:33Good question.
00:35:35Oh, one second.
00:35:36Yeah.
00:35:39Hi, ma'am.
00:35:39I'm, uh, Detective Track.
00:35:41Sorry to intrude.
00:35:42Hi, Goldie.
00:35:43Marla said Tom would be here?
00:35:45She did, did she?
00:35:48Mason?
00:35:50Track?
00:35:50What's up?
00:35:51Tom, in light of new evidence, you need to hand in your badge and gun and come with us.
00:35:57My badge and my gun?
00:35:58What new evidence?
00:35:59What do you mean?
00:36:00Yeah, what evidence?
00:36:01And also, you are clearly making a mistake here.
00:36:04Furthermore, I don't like how you're going around town.
00:36:06Goldie, it's okay.
00:36:07It's okay.
00:36:08It's okay.
00:36:09I'm coming.
00:36:09Okay.
00:36:09Go to City Hall.
00:36:17Search land registry records for foreclosures around the top of the scam.
00:36:21Okay.
00:36:23Stay safe.
00:36:24Let's go, Schultz.
00:36:25Yeah.
00:36:26I'm coming.
00:36:27Sorry, boss.
00:36:28Thanks.
00:36:46Let's go, Schultz.
00:36:49Piece of cake, Golden Bear.
00:36:59Right?
00:37:04Maybe not a piece of cake.
00:37:19Okay.
00:37:32Yes!
00:37:47I can't do it, I can't do it, I can't do it, I can't do it.
00:38:17Anne lost her house.
00:38:47Anne lost her house.
00:39:17Is it normal for a bride to call her ex the morning of her wedding?
00:39:20Nothing about Jess is normal.
00:39:22What's your angle?
00:39:24Tom, kill Sterling with Jess gone, collect her life insurance?
00:39:28Or is it that she's waiting for you and that this was her plan with her all along?
00:39:31That's your theory?
00:39:33It's absurd.
00:39:35Mason, you still looking for her?
00:39:37Okay, we're gonna play this my way.
00:39:44I guess the apple doesn't fall far from the tree, huh?
00:39:47Who knows?
00:39:49Maybe you and your old man will be cellmates.
00:39:50It's been, what, 25 years?
00:39:5624.
00:39:58But who's counting?
00:39:59Where's Jess right?
00:40:00Sterling got my hand.
00:40:02So yeah, there'd be blood transfer on my shoe, as well as the champagne glass.
00:40:07As for the life insurance policy, Jess obviously forgot to change the beneficiary.
00:40:11You know, the DA hasn't filed charges yet, which means your case has too many holes.
00:40:19So unless you arrest me, you can't keep me here any longer.
00:40:26So I'm leaving.
00:40:28What?
00:40:29Don't leave town.
00:40:41It wasn't right.
00:40:43Turning off an audio recorder during an interview?
00:40:46I don't know, you get far if you play by the rules.
00:40:48Evidence gathered deceitfully is inadmissible in court.
00:40:51God, wake up.
00:40:53Judging by that deer caught in headlights look.
00:40:56You didn't even know Tom's dad was in Slammer.
00:40:57And that's just, it's just my normal look.
00:41:01Look, I'm just saying maybe you don't really know your mentor that well.
00:41:06I'm going to need you to tail him.
00:41:15Room service.
00:41:17Goldie, what a nice surprise.
00:41:19Ah, I have a question.
00:41:22Would you think less of me as a mother if I had you surgically attach this to our daughter's back?
00:41:27She gets her absent-mindedness from me.
00:41:31I'm sorry I muddled the jean pool.
00:41:33Are those eclairs?
00:41:36Okay, what do you need?
00:41:38Who said I needed anything?
00:41:39Goldie, we have known each other for a very, very long time.
00:41:43I love hate that about us.
00:41:44Tom got suspended.
00:41:48What?
00:41:49What happened?
00:41:50There's this new cop, and he is trying to pin Sterling's murder on Tom.
00:41:56Wow.
00:41:57And he would never, ever, ever, ever ask.
00:42:01But he really needs our help.
00:42:05You know, Goldie, I would really love to help Tom.
00:42:20You know I would.
00:42:21But I can't tell you anything about someone from the wedding party who came to my office Saturday afternoon with a broken hand and a really lame excuse on how that happened.
00:42:32Mm-hmm.
00:42:33See, I could lose my license.
00:42:34Of course.
00:42:36Yeah.
00:42:36Yeah.
00:42:37So I'm just going to go look for a coffee to pair with my eclair.
00:42:42Okay.
00:42:43Yeah.
00:42:43I might be 10, maybe 15 minutes.
00:43:02Ray.
00:43:07Oh, hey.
00:43:10Hey.
00:43:10Are you cleared?
00:43:11Yeah, no.
00:43:12No, not yet.
00:43:14Thanks for coming to get me.
00:43:15Yeah, I was so worried.
00:43:19Maybe you should keep your distance.
00:43:22Stop.
00:43:22Don't even do that.
00:43:23No, nobody believes that you had anything to do with this.
00:43:27It's not that.
00:43:28It's something Trax said about my dad.
00:43:33What about him?
00:43:37I haven't shared this with anyone, but, uh, my dad's in prison.
00:43:48See, that's the look.
00:43:49That's why I don't talk about it.
00:43:50I'm sorry.
00:43:51I...
00:43:51Um...
00:43:54I have a lot of questions, but first, how does Trax even know about this?
00:44:05It was his dad that put my dad away.
00:44:06And you're afraid he's going to use that information against you?
00:44:12Look, I just...
00:44:14I wanted you to know before anybody else.
00:44:18I'm sorry.
00:44:20Thanks.
00:44:20You were not your dad.
00:44:24And whatever you did, it doesn't change who you are.
00:44:27Or what you mean to me.
00:44:32Or, you know, a people.
00:44:35Other people.
00:44:37And hey, welcome to the club.
00:44:40Everyone in Elk Park has been a suspect for murder at some point in this past year, including me.
00:44:45And you're still talking to me.
00:44:49Well, the night's still young.
00:44:53Let's go get your car.
00:45:02So, Ray showed up the morning of the wedding with a busted hand.
00:45:05But he didn't have a cast.
00:45:07He flinched when Mason shook his hand.
00:45:08Which begs the question, when exactly did Ray do it, and how?
00:45:13Well, I'm headed to the ground search right now.
00:45:15And Ray will be there.
00:45:17So why don't you go home, and then you come back later, and we can put our heads together.
00:45:23Okay.
00:45:24Okay.
00:45:38Look out.
00:45:39Coming through.
00:45:40Whoop.
00:45:42That's my best friend's wedding.
00:45:43Yeah, come on.
00:45:44You need to do this to me.
00:45:45Ray, no.
00:45:48Ray, I...
00:45:56Here.
00:45:56You and I will go up here.
00:46:01Remember these woods?
00:46:03We'd come here, me with Sterling, you with that freckly ginger.
00:46:07Ready.
00:46:08Oh my gosh, yes.
00:46:10Such innocent and happy times.
00:46:13Until it wasn't.
00:46:16I, uh, couldn't help but notice you and Ray earlier.
00:46:20Is everything okay?
00:46:22I found an engagement ring in a suitcase.
00:46:26And when I asked about it, Ray admitted he was going to propose this weekend.
00:46:32That's wonderful.
00:46:35Except I said I'm not ready.
00:46:37But he didn't buy it.
00:46:39He thinks there's something more.
00:46:42Is there?
00:46:43No.
00:46:44No.
00:46:44And timing is everything.
00:46:46And with all this going on?
00:46:51Well, relationships are hard.
00:46:53Even on their good days.
00:46:55You'll get through it.
00:46:56Yeah.
00:46:58I miss my person.
00:46:59But Ray can be insecure.
00:47:02You know, Sterling's ribbing at the rehearsal dinner about getting back together with me didn't help.
00:47:07Anyway, it's like Ray and I always say, there's nothing more important than love.
00:47:12Never take it for granted because it can be too late.
00:47:16I'll never love again.
00:47:19Of course you will.
00:47:21No.
00:47:23I'll never love again.
00:47:25It's a book.
00:47:26Wait.
00:47:28Jess was reading that.
00:47:29I lent it to her.
00:47:31Don't touch anything.
00:47:32Flag it and I'll grab a con.
00:47:34Hey!
00:47:35Over here!
00:47:36I think I found something!
00:47:37Here!
00:47:38Over here!
00:47:38Over here!
00:47:40Oh, that's Jess's cell.
00:47:46She loved her Zorofsky crystals.
00:47:48Loved?
00:47:49It's okay.
00:47:50You referred her in the past tense.
00:47:52You know what I mean.
00:47:55Why would I ever want anything to happen to her?
00:47:58You'd get sole possession of whitetail realty, for one.
00:48:00With her gone, my workload has just doubled.
00:48:02I have to take on all of her clients.
00:48:03And we all know you weren't a fan of Jess Orster.
00:48:06I have nothing against them.
00:48:07We just had different priorities.
00:48:08And I'm tired of them taking my dad for a ride.
00:48:10Hey, will you just stop at the both of you?
00:48:13Can't you see what you're doing to my wife?
00:48:16Apologies.
00:48:17So I am.
00:48:19Come on.
00:48:20Come on.
00:48:22Come on.
00:48:23God, this is just so distressing.
00:48:25What can I do to help?
00:48:29Um...
00:48:29We're holding a candlelight vigil outside our home.
00:48:32This evening.
00:48:34Do you think you could do a rush order on some finger food?
00:48:36Just whatever you can look up.
00:48:38Of course.
00:48:38I'll drop them off later.
00:48:41Yeah.
00:48:42I'm a mess.
00:48:44Where's my...
00:48:44Where's my Jess and I?
00:48:45Where could she be?
00:48:46We'll find her.
00:48:47We'll find her.
00:48:48We'll find her.
00:48:48We'll find her.
00:48:49We'll find her.
00:48:49Hi, Goldie.
00:49:12Hi.
00:49:13Your food was a huge hit with the kids.
00:49:14Thanks again.
00:49:16And I'm sorry about earlier at the park with Chester.
00:49:19I, uh, got carried away.
00:49:21You don't need to apologize to me.
00:49:24I understand.
00:49:25Emotions are running high right now.
00:49:28Yeah.
00:49:29Feels like it's been one nonstop fight since the wedding came to town.
00:49:32First, the one in the reception, then the one in the parking lot after.
00:49:35What happened in the parking lot?
00:49:38Well, I only caught the tail end of it, but Chester and Sterling were at it again.
00:49:43And obviously, Chester didn't come out of it too well.
00:49:47See ya.
00:49:48Yeah.
00:49:49Hey, Buendopio Double Espresso Macchiato.
00:49:59Let's get to work.
00:50:00Yes.
00:50:01I've been working on a and rushed order.
00:50:04Oop.
00:50:05Hold on.
00:50:07Hey, Marla.
00:50:08He's right outside my shop.
00:50:11Who's right outside your shop?
00:50:13Ray!
00:50:14You said you wanted to talk to him.
00:50:16If you hurry up, you can catch him.
00:50:17Just be careful, because Mason and Drac are here.
00:50:20Okay.
00:50:22What's up?
00:50:22Ray is outside Marla's shop.
00:50:24Well, let's go talk to him.
00:50:25You can't be seen interrogating Ray.
00:50:28And I can't leave my dough where the baking powder will go flat.
00:50:31I have a crazy idea.
00:50:38Okay.
00:50:39You want to preheat the oven to 350.
00:50:46You're going to roll the dough evenly.
00:50:48Then you're going to add a teaspoon of the filling.
00:50:52First the cheese, then the mushroom mixture.
00:50:55You want to pinch the edges of the dumpling, and then brush each dumpling with the egg wash.
00:51:01Then you bake.
00:51:03Are you good?
00:51:04You lost me after preheat the oven.
00:51:06You'll be fine.
00:51:08Just don't overwork the dough.
00:51:09But you know, that goes for you, too.
00:51:14Okay?
00:51:14Don't press Ray too hard, or you're just going to clam up.
00:51:16Okay.
00:51:17Find out how he broke his hand.
00:51:18But act natural.
00:51:20Act natural.
00:51:22Got it.
00:51:23All right.
00:51:23I see him.
00:51:27Switching to Bluetooth.
00:51:29Okay.
00:51:30Well, there's a $300 charge on my credit card that I never authorized.
00:51:33I'd like the charges reversed, please.
00:51:35Car key replacement?
00:51:37What are you talking about?
00:51:39The contract never said...
00:51:42Fine.
00:51:44Stupid car rental agencies.
00:51:47Ray!
00:51:49Hi!
00:51:50So funny meeting you here.
00:51:53Tangled me.
00:51:53I said act natural.
00:51:55Whoa, you're cast.
00:51:57How did that happen?
00:51:59Easy, Barry.
00:52:00It's too heavy-handed.
00:52:01I'm trying.
00:52:02You're trying to focus, Goldie.
00:52:08Trying to understand what happened to your hand.
00:52:13You look like you got yourself in a pickle.
00:52:16A pickle?
00:52:17It's nothing.
00:52:18I just fell in the shower.
00:52:21Wow, it just must have been a really hard fall.
00:52:25Yeah.
00:52:27You lost him, Barry.
00:52:29You did it.
00:52:30You overworked the dough.
00:52:31Okay.
00:52:32I cannot do this with you in my ear, okay?
00:52:36Just don't burn my pastry, Schultz.
00:52:40Barry.
00:52:43Goldie?
00:52:46You know what?
00:52:46Let me help you.
00:52:49Of course.
00:52:52Oh, got some orange smudge on your cast.
00:52:56Oh, yeah.
00:52:57It was these cheesy crackers Anne was giving everyone.
00:53:00We were all snacking on them.
00:53:02Cassa.
00:53:03Cassava.
00:53:04They, uh, they get everywhere.
00:53:07Yeah.
00:53:07Probably not a good idea to have everyone sign my cast afterwards.
00:53:10Mm-hmm.
00:53:10Um, we, uh, we missed you at the ground search.
00:53:20Yeah, I just needed some time alone.
00:53:24I can't believe he's gone.
00:53:26Some best man I turned out to be.
00:53:27Ray, this, this was not your fault.
00:53:34Yeah.
00:53:35I'm, I'm so sorry.
00:53:37I know he was your best friend.
00:53:40You know, I always envied Sterling.
00:53:42Thought he had it all.
00:53:44The night before the wedding, he was getting cold feet.
00:53:48I think he'd have his mind made up by then.
00:53:51Hmm.
00:53:52So what did he do?
00:53:54Oh, he went out for air after midnight.
00:53:58Next thing I know, it's morning and he's in full tux ready to go to the church.
00:54:02Someone or something changed his mind.
00:54:06Hmm.
00:54:07Well, it's, it's, it's not a, a perfect dumpling.
00:54:23Not exactly sure what it is.
00:54:25Um, I'll add parsley.
00:54:28Yeah.
00:54:29Okay.
00:54:29Yeah.
00:54:31Thanks for hanging up with me, by the way.
00:54:32You were distracting me.
00:54:33You were going rogue.
00:54:34Do you want to talk about somebody going rogue?
00:54:36Stick to our day jobs?
00:54:37Deal.
00:54:38Okay.
00:54:41I think we're going to need something more than parsley.
00:54:46Did he get cold feet?
00:54:50Hmm?
00:54:50Hmm.
00:54:51Got the candle holder right here.
00:54:54Mm-hmm.
00:54:56You still have some flour on your face.
00:54:58Hold on, you know.
00:55:00Huh?
00:55:00Hmm.
00:55:01Hmm.
00:55:01Thanks.
00:55:07Yeah.
00:55:11Um.
00:55:13Ray was jealous.
00:55:15Yeah.
00:55:16Yeah.
00:55:17Missing, um, suitcase.
00:55:20We need to find out what caused Sterling's allergic reaction.
00:55:24I did find an orange substance in the back of Sterling's hand.
00:55:27Orange?
00:55:28Yeah.
00:55:28You sure?
00:55:29Oh, positive.
00:55:30Because Ray had an orange substance on his cast.
00:55:33Yeah.
00:55:33He said it was from eating cassava crackers, but, but cassava, it tastes nutty, but it's
00:55:38not from the nut family at all.
00:55:42We need to talk to Chester.
00:55:43Yeah, let's see what he's up to.
00:55:45What's that?
00:55:45What's that?
00:55:46Orange powder.
00:55:48Wow.
00:55:49Chester's realty business is booming.
00:55:53Yeah?
00:55:54Someone's making a killing commission this month.
00:56:01Want to go have something?
00:56:03Always.
00:56:04Let's go.
00:56:06Let's go.
00:56:22Nice house.
00:56:23Yeah.
00:56:24Above my pay grade.
00:56:25Same.
00:56:31Let's take a look around.
00:56:33We'll be back here in 20.
00:56:34OK.
00:56:37I'll go this way.
00:56:38I'll go this way then.
00:56:39As you can see, there's a spectacular chef's kitchen, newly renovated with slide-out shelves.
00:56:45I'll let you folks walk around though.
00:56:47Let me know if you have any questions, OK?
00:56:49Thanks so much.
00:56:50What a nice surprise.
00:56:51I can see you working your magic in here.
00:56:53Oh.
00:56:54Well, unless that magic increases my bank account, I think I'm going to have to stay put.
00:57:01So what brings you by?
00:57:02Well, we're friends, right?
00:57:05Of course.
00:57:06I just needed to ask.
00:57:08Um, why didn't you come clean about Sterling hitting you?
00:57:14Because he didn't.
00:57:15Chester, I know you didn't get the black eye playing basketball like you said.
00:57:22Sterling didn't hit me, Goldie.
00:57:23He was fighting with Ray in the parking lot after the rehearsal dinner ended.
00:57:32And when the groomsmen and I went in to break them up, my eye hit Ray's fist.
00:57:37I'm sorry I lied.
00:57:38I didn't want to look suspicious.
00:57:40Why was Sterling fighting his best man again?
00:57:43I'm sorry, Goldie.
00:57:44I have to work.
00:57:46I want to find Jess too.
00:57:50But what about Hoops for Teens?
00:57:52If you're willing to spend that much on Jess's over-the-top wedding, then why not put it towards something more meaningful?
00:57:56Now is not the time or place.
00:57:59When is the time, Dad?
00:58:01I have done everything you asked and kept it quiet all these years.
00:58:06What's up, fellas?
00:58:07You kept what quiet?
00:58:09I wouldn't have thought this type of house would interest you, Tom.
00:58:14Well, lots of things interest me.
00:58:18What are you doing here?
00:58:20I happen to own this house.
00:58:22This was supposed to be Jess's listing, but Chester has it now.
00:58:26Well, why does it say it's under Wesco property?
00:58:30Yes, it's one of my holding companies. Is that a problem?
00:58:33It's not a problem. I'm just wondering what the big secret is.
00:58:36Did you happen to be involved in the failed software company?
00:58:42This is sounding like a police interrogation.
00:58:45You don't have your badge, do you?
00:58:47It's just a friendly observation.
00:58:49Well, I think it's time for you to leave.
00:58:54Okay, well, hey, good luck with the listing.
00:59:06I still think Chester is hiding something, but at least now we know how and when Ray broke his hand. We just don't know why.
00:59:15Well, in my experience, if two guys fight after a few drinks, it's usually over a woman.
00:59:19And we still don't know how Lawrence and Hunter fit into all of this. And also, what is Hunter hiding?
00:59:24Well, I think we're getting close to the truth based on Lawrence's reaction.
00:59:27Do you really think that Lawrence is involved in all of this?
00:59:31I think that if he was an investor, he sure didn't lose his shirt like everybody else.
00:59:38We need to get our hands on the police records.
00:59:40Yeah.
00:59:41Yeah.
00:59:42What's the one thing that's in abundance at weddings?
00:59:44Puff pastry.
00:59:45Puff...
00:59:47Puff pastries?
00:59:49Photos.
00:59:50Goldie photos.
00:59:51Well, photos.
00:59:52That's much better.
00:59:53We need to talk to the photographer.
00:59:55Okay.
00:59:57Yes.
00:59:58Smiled, sharing some teeth.
01:00:00Yes.
01:00:01Excuse me.
01:00:02Hi.
01:00:03You.
01:00:04You're early.
01:00:05The station said a detective would swing while I later.
01:00:07I'm in the middle of a photo shoot.
01:00:09He is the detective.
01:00:10I'm the detective?
01:00:11Yep.
01:00:12Let's get it over with.
01:00:13I'll put up the files.
01:00:18Oh, man.
01:00:20Breaks my heart a little to see these.
01:00:22You have to attach yourself in an investigation.
01:00:24You can't let it affect you.
01:00:35Fetus.
01:00:36Hey, hey, hey.
01:00:37Track is here.
01:00:38We gotta hurry.
01:00:39Look at this.
01:00:40Oh.
01:00:41Yeah.
01:00:42Is that sweet?
01:00:43Gentle Ann slapping her soon-to-be son-in-law the night before he was killed?
01:00:46Get a picture.
01:00:47There we go.
01:00:48There we go.
01:00:49There we go.
01:00:50There we go.
01:00:51Come on.
01:00:52Close it out.
01:00:53Close it out.
01:00:55Thank you very much.
01:00:57Hey, you got Ray.
01:00:58Leave a message.
01:00:59Ray, where are you?
01:01:00We're starting.
01:01:01We're starting.
01:01:02Why are we starting.
01:01:03Oh?
01:01:04What are we reaching out?
01:01:06There you go.
01:01:07There we go.
01:01:08Come on.
01:01:09Close it out.
01:01:11Thank you very much.
01:01:24Hey, you got Ray.
01:01:25Leave a message.
01:01:26Ray, where are you?
01:01:27We're starting.
01:01:28Come on.
01:01:30I hope wherever Jess is, she can feel the love.
01:01:42Let's plug the cracker.
01:01:43The crackers, yes.
01:01:44No, no.
01:01:44It is not the time.
01:01:45Yes, now is the time.
01:01:46Rachel, I'm sorry.
01:01:47Do it right now.
01:01:47Come on.
01:01:48Come on.
01:01:48Anne, this is the silliest of questions, you know, considering.
01:01:56But where did you get these crackers?
01:02:00I think from Hunter?
01:02:03Uh, maybe the bridal party.
01:02:06I don't remember.
01:02:07Would you like some?
01:02:08That would, yes, that would be great.
01:02:10You know, it's always good to learn about new snacks for parties and...
01:02:15Events.
01:02:15To charcuterie boards and...
01:02:17We were throwing parties.
01:02:18I am.
01:02:19So many parties.
01:02:20I think you'll like these then.
01:02:21They're cassava and cheddar.
01:02:24They're the only things that would settle Lawrence's stomach.
01:02:26I got it.
01:02:27Thank you so much.
01:02:30And, um, after the rehearsal dinner you met Sterling in the hotel foyer, what exactly did you say to him?
01:02:40I don't recall.
01:02:41It was a busy day.
01:02:43Oh.
01:02:43I don't mean to make you uncomfortable, but you slapped him.
01:02:58Timestamped at 12.05 a.m.
01:03:00I think what Tom is trying to say is we would understand if you had resentment towards Sterling's family.
01:03:17I mean, after all, you lost your house.
01:03:20Gosh, no, that's ancient history.
01:03:24I mean, yeah, it was hard.
01:03:26Some people didn't get over it, but many of us did.
01:03:30I mean, look at Jess and Katie.
01:03:32Katie?
01:03:33Well, she and Sterling were once engaged.
01:03:37While Katie moved on, her dad never forgave Sterling's family after almost losing his farm for investing in that stupid startup.
01:03:45I'm sorry.
01:03:46I didn't know that Sterling and Katie were engaged.
01:03:51Didn't last long?
01:03:52Well, I think Katie broke it off with Sterling after she followed him to San Francisco.
01:03:57I mean, her dad would have never given his blessing, but it all worked out in the end.
01:04:02She met Ray, and my Jess ended up with Sterling.
01:04:06So why were you so mad at Sterling?
01:04:09He said he was going to call off the wedding, and I wouldn't let him do that.
01:04:14So, yes, I lost my temper, but I set him straight because I'll do anything for my daughter, anything at all.
01:04:21Why didn't you tell us this before?
01:04:23Because it was my finest, but.
01:04:27Anne, I, uh, wait.
01:04:32What's going on?
01:04:34Anne?
01:04:35What's happening?
01:04:36Did you find Jess?
01:04:37No.
01:04:39What did you do to upset my wife?
01:04:41I've asked you some questions, Lawrence.
01:04:43You know, I've just about had enough out of you.
01:04:46Now, get out of here and stay away from my family.
01:04:48We're going to go.
01:04:49We are leaving.
01:04:49Come on.
01:04:51All right, so Lawrence was involved in the startup scam.
01:04:59He gets in a fight with Ray.
01:05:00Chester stands to get Whitetail Realty.
01:05:03And then Hunter stands to inherit.
01:05:07Anne slaps Sterling.
01:05:09And also, she might be responsible for the orange crackers.
01:05:12So what am I looking at?
01:05:13I tried to recreate Anne's crackers.
01:05:15Both she and Ray said that they were cassava, but they're not.
01:05:19So I whipped together three different recipes.
01:05:22I need you to try them, starting with her original.
01:05:28Okay.
01:05:29Now, try the corn flour.
01:05:34It's not that one.
01:05:36Cauliflower?
01:05:36Not it either.
01:05:42No, try the one in the middle.
01:05:49What's that one?
01:05:50Yeah.
01:05:50That's it?
01:05:51Yeah.
01:05:51What is it?
01:05:53Avocado.
01:05:54Okay, what does that mean?
01:05:55It means someone is lying.
01:05:57They're not cassava crackers.
01:05:58And the interesting thing is that people with tree nut allergies, a lot of them are severely allergic to avocados.
01:06:04So Sterling was likely exposed to the allergen around 9 a.m.
01:06:07And I am willing to bet that someone saw something.
01:06:11Well, outside of security cameras, what's the next best way to get eyes on people?
01:06:16Spy glasses.
01:06:19Loitering teenagers on skateboards.
01:06:22That's better.
01:06:22Yeah.
01:06:23There he is.
01:06:34Mom, promise you won't embarrass me.
01:06:36What?
01:06:37Me?
01:06:38Okay, fine.
01:06:41All right, you stay in the car.
01:06:52Hey, Lucas.
01:06:54I'm Goldie, Olive's mom, and this is my friend Tom.
01:07:00What's up?
01:07:01I know who he is.
01:07:02We can skateboard here.
01:07:03No one said we couldn't.
01:07:05Relax.
01:07:05Relax.
01:07:06We're just trying to figure out what happened to Sterling Bridgewater.
01:07:09Yeah, have you seen anything suspicious the last few days?
01:07:13Nope.
01:07:14I already told the cops.
01:07:16Lucas, it's okay.
01:07:18You can trust Tom.
01:07:19And my mom's the best.
01:07:21And you can trust me.
01:07:22If there's anything you know, just tell them.
01:07:25Morning of, I was grounded with my board somewhere I shouldn't have.
01:07:32Please don't tell my mom.
01:07:34And I saw the groom.
01:07:35He was, like, arguing with the bride before she kissed him and sort of pushed her away and she kind of, like, fell backwards.
01:07:40Wait, so you saw the bride and groom together the morning of the wedding?
01:07:45Most eff.
01:07:46She was in a fancy dress with a jacket that said besties on it, with flowers, and he had on his tux.
01:07:53So.
01:07:54What time was that?
01:07:55Nine, ten-ish.
01:07:56You know what they were arguing about?
01:07:57Uh, no, I'd tell us to pass him.
01:08:01Can you take us to where that happened?
01:08:03Yeah.
01:08:12It was here.
01:08:14After he pushed her, the groom walked that way.
01:08:16The bride was on the ground when she was, like, alive and everything.
01:08:18Okay.
01:08:21Okay.
01:08:22Thank you, Lucas.
01:08:25Mom, is it okay if me and Lucas walk back to the van?
01:08:32Sure.
01:08:34Yeah.
01:08:35Yeah.
01:08:35But go directly to the van and text me when you get there.
01:08:38Okay.
01:08:42I'm not a cool mom.
01:08:45All right.
01:08:45So, the morning of the wedding, Jess and Sterling come out here.
01:08:51Emotions are running high.
01:08:53We had a big fight the night before, so maybe they come out to talk.
01:08:59Okay.
01:08:59Jess, she goes in.
01:09:01She goes to kiss him.
01:09:06Then he, uh, pushes her.
01:09:09Right.
01:09:10She goes down.
01:09:12Sterling had an orangey rash in the back of his hand.
01:09:15What do you do when you want to wipe a kiss off your face?
01:09:22What are we missing?
01:09:30Rent some car keys.
01:09:34Jessamyn would never rent a car.
01:09:37She's always chauffeured.
01:09:38Something tells me this car is parked at the hotel.
01:09:56Go to the hotel.
01:09:57Okay.
01:09:59Schultz.
01:10:00What's up, Chuck?
01:10:01Let's go.
01:10:03In the Colorado Law Section 188-112, I'm arresting you for a Class 6 or only offensive impersonating
01:10:08a police officer.
01:10:09You're making a big mistake.
01:10:11No.
01:10:12No, Tom.
01:10:13You did when you interfered in an active investigation under suspension as the prime suspect and
01:10:18posed as a cop to a photographer.
01:10:20That's a mouthful, huh?
01:10:21No.
01:10:23Let's go.
01:10:25Be okay.
01:10:25Be okay.
01:11:29There's a $300 charge on my credit card I never authorized.
01:11:34She was in a fancy dress with the jacket that says Besties on.
01:11:38She and Sterling were once engaged.
01:11:40While Katie moved on, her dad never forgave Sterling's family after almost losing his farm for investing in a stupid startup.
01:11:47There's nothing more important than love.
01:11:50Never take it for granted because it could be too late.
01:11:53Detective, the last call Sterling made was to Jess before he dropped his cell, according to a fall detection alert software.
01:12:10And just...
01:12:11Why is Tom here?
01:12:16Our suspect's in custody. He just needs to confess our whereabouts.
01:12:20We have new evidence that could help us crack both cases.
01:12:22They don't kill Dad.
01:12:23Hey.
01:12:32Hey.
01:12:32So, just got back from Whitetail, like you asked.
01:12:34I compared what you found at the land registry to the MLS listings.
01:12:39And guess who bought most of the defaulted properties after Sterling's family skipped town?
01:12:43Westco Realty.
01:12:44Mm-hmm.
01:12:45Lawrence gave out a lot of private loans for business owners to save their properties.
01:12:48So Tom's hunch about Lawrence was right.
01:12:50He was involved with a startup and there's something he's not saying.
01:12:53But it doesn't matter because I think I know who did it.
01:12:56You think this is going to work?
01:12:58Only if Jess is alive, but we know how small towns work.
01:13:00We tell one person one thing and before we know it, it gets all over town and flushes out the killer.
01:13:06Hopefully.
01:13:06Hopefully.
01:13:14Detective?
01:13:33Mm-hmm.
01:13:33A witness has come forward with new evidence on the Sterling murder.
01:13:37What witness?
01:13:39What evidence?
01:13:40They only want to speak with you.
01:13:44I'm Detective Trekk.
01:13:46Hi.
01:13:47You.
01:13:48Mm-hmm.
01:13:49Before we begin, I'm a little parched.
01:13:52Can I have some water?
01:13:53Sure.
01:13:54Sparkling or still?
01:13:55Oh.
01:13:55I'll get it.
01:13:56Well, thank you, Mason.
01:14:04Hey.
01:14:06What took you so long?
01:14:08I went as fast as I could.
01:14:14Mason!
01:14:15What?
01:14:18Okay, what's going on?
01:14:20What is this?
01:14:21Well, I've got some new evidence for you.
01:14:24You've been barking up the wrong tree, Davey.
01:14:27Have a seat.
01:14:28This might take a while.
01:14:30It's a miracle.
01:14:31Jess escaped.
01:14:32We are meeting at Elk Park Hotel Lobby.
01:14:35Where's Jess?
01:15:04Is she okay?
01:15:06I don't know.
01:15:06She hasn't shown up yet.
01:15:07It's a miracle for you.
01:15:11-ı-ı-ı-ı-ı-ı-ı-ı-ı-ı-ı-ı-ıı-ı-ı-ı-ıcı-ı.

01:19:35Where's my mom?
01:19:37Be safe now, Jess.
01:19:39Wait.
01:19:41You're actually gonna wear that
01:19:43to my wedding?
01:19:49A hamburger is not a sandwich.
01:19:51It is the literal definition of sandwich.
01:19:53Bread. Meat. Bread.
01:19:55That is not how this works.
01:20:01She go. Yeah, okay.
01:20:03What's gonna happen to Katie?
01:20:07She's gonna be charged.
01:20:09But hopefully she gets the help that she needs.
01:20:11It's so sad.
01:20:13You know?
01:20:15All she ever wanted was to love and be loved.
01:20:17Thomas.
01:20:19Hey.
01:20:21I just want to thank you both for bringing Jess back.
01:20:27And I want to apologize.
01:20:29No, no need, Morris.
01:20:31It's okay. I misjudged you.
01:20:33I should have said something back in New York when I discovered that Sterling's dad's startup was a scam.
01:20:39But I didn't.
01:20:41Anyway, thanks again.
01:20:43You're welcome.
01:20:45Oh, man.
01:20:47Oh, man.
01:20:59Oh, man.
01:21:01Oh, man.
01:21:03Oh, man.
01:21:19Schultz? Track?
01:21:21I was told to, uh, apologize.
01:21:27So this is me apologizing.
01:21:30You've been reinstated.
01:21:35I don't know how you two did it, but the case is closed.
01:21:39We did it because Goldie and I make a really good team.
01:21:44Jess is under medical evaluation, but I got her statement.
01:21:47Boy, did she have a lot to say.
01:21:53Hey.
01:21:54I should be mad, but I, uh, I'll let it slide since you did what I would have done.
01:21:59Break a few rules.
01:22:02No hard feelings, then?
01:22:03Oh, there's definitely hard feelings.
01:22:04Sheriff puts you on traffic duty for the next month.
01:22:07Oh.
01:22:10Sorry, Mason.
01:22:13So, does this mean you'll be staying in town?
01:22:15Depends if hamburgers make it on your sandwich board.
01:22:18Oh.
01:22:19You'll have to stick around to find out.
01:22:23Can I give you a lift?
01:22:24Yeah, thanks.
01:22:37I don't know how I feel about that.
01:22:44Goldie.
01:22:46I want to thank you.
01:22:47You don't need to thank you.
01:22:48No. No, I do need to thank you.
01:22:52You never once stopped believing in me.
01:22:54Why were you leaving in me?
01:22:59Goldie.
01:23:00Will you...
01:23:04Go out on a date with me?
01:23:07If your plate has any room left on it, that is.
01:23:09You know what you feel like when you have the really big meal, and you are so full that you couldn't possibly eat another bite, but then you make room for dessert?
01:23:24Are you suggesting that...
01:23:27I'm the dessert?
01:23:30Because I'm...
01:23:31I'm okay with that.
01:23:37I'm gonna hold you to it.
01:23:39Okay, Miss Barry?
01:23:40Okay.
01:23:54Will you wait here for a minute?
01:23:55Have you got any questions?
01:23:56Okay, so, Abraham.
01:23:58I'm going to ask you if you have a question that I have already.
01:24:00You're the best.
01:24:01Okay.
01:24:02Run!
01:24:04If you are a question and have a question that's just about for a moment.
01:24:07How about a question?
01:24:08How about some?
01:24:10How about with a question and answer them?
01:24:12How about the question?
01:24:14How about a question?
01:24:16How about you?
01:24:17How about the question?
01:24:19How about you?
01:24:20You don't know what the question is,
