00:00A woman arrives at the police station to clean, but she immediately notices mistakes in the
00:04investigation process. Her mind starts analyzing and realizes that the police have mistaken the
00:10victim for the suspect. She changes the label from suspect to victim. The next day, Detective
00:15Adam, who is in charge of the case, bursts out in anger yelling,
00:18Who did this? Who changed our board? A man is dead. Our primary suspect is missing. This is
00:24not a joke. Fortunately, there are surveillance cameras at the station. Officer Selena mentions
00:30that Morgan's involvement in a criminal case could land her in jail. Morgan acts innocent,
00:35simply explaining that she just wanted to help fix the errors, wondering how it could be considered
00:40interference. Adam is frustrated. However, Selena ignores Adam's frustration, instead pulling out
00:48the case files and asking Morgan to explain herself. Now it's her chance to show her deductive skills.
00:53You've got a dead body. I'm assuming you think this lady offed her husband, but that's not
01:00possible. Look at this room. Look at this couch. All of these pillows are evenly spaced with alternating
01:06colors. Check out these shelves. Those objects are perfectly sized. Even the choice of metals is
01:11consistent. This house is immaculate. The owner is a tidiness freak, except all of these curtains are
01:20fastened with a tieback except for one for some reason. That's odd, isn't it? You're telling me this
01:27woman who meticulously arranges her couch pillows doesn't care about her curtains? So the tieback must have
01:34been used for something else. See, look, you've got hair stuck to the chair leg. Somebody put tape around it,
01:40ripped it off, the glue stayed, and trapped the little bits. That means someone was tied up with the
01:46curtain cord and taped to the chair around their ankles. And since there are no marks on the victim's
01:51wrist, it means there was a third person. We have Lynette tied to the chair, victim on the ground, and our
01:58unknown bondage freak who has either kidnapped or bumped off Lynette. Morgan's deduction is flawless, leaving
02:04even Adam, a seasoned detective, with no way to argue. But he still wants to counter her. And just as he
02:10speaks, a junior officer arrives and confirms. Even so, Morgan has broken protocol. Adam orders her to
02:22be held in a detention room, but he feels uneasy about it. He has to admit that Morgan's deduction
02:27is accurate, and they are now forced to restart the investigation, determined to quickly locate
02:32the missing individual. Luckily, a security camera near the crime scene captured footage of an Asian
02:38woman who was present on the day of the incident. Although she denies involvement and has no alibi,
02:44Adam and his team consider her their main suspect. However, Morgan, who is preparing to sign a
02:50confidentiality agreement, quickly glances at the footage, and immediately notices that the video
02:55is not from the day of the incident. It turns out that, in the video, the wind is blowing southeast.
03:01But at this time of year, the wind in the city should be blowing northwest. Clearly, this footage was
03:06taken months earlier. The method for determining wind direction in the video is quite simple.
03:12There is a church in the background, and churches are usually built facing east, so that sunlight shines
03:18from behind, giving the priests a heavenly appearance. By observing the direction the leaves are blowing in
03:23the video, one can determine the wind direction. As for yesterday's wind direction at the crime scene,
03:29everyone should already know that. The police exchange confused glances, unsure if Morgan is mocking them.
03:35Morgan ignores all of this because she is very busy. She has three kids at home waiting for her care.
03:43Selena, curious about Morgan's knowledge, learns that Morgan is a fan of watching documentaries.
03:49With her remarkable intellect, Morgan often only needs one to two hours of sleep each day.
03:54However, because her IQ is so high, she cannot resist correcting mistakes when she sees them,
04:00which makes it hard for her to fit in with others. Eventually, she ends up working the night shift as a cleaner.
04:06Adam goes to pick up Letty, the victim's daughter. He needs her to share what she knows. A few weeks ago,
04:12the victim received a farewell letter from Sarah. She doesn't know the content, but the victim was
04:17devastated after learning that Sarah had taken her own life. That letter is now in the victim's office.
04:23As she leaves the police station, Morgan sees the victim's daughter. Being a mother herself,
04:28she deeply understands the girl's feelings at this moment. Selena also arrives and tells Morgan that
04:34if she agrees to assist with the investigation, she'll find a way to waive the fine and keep
04:38Morgan from being detained. After some persuasion, Morgan agrees, not out of fear of the penalty,
04:44but because she wants to help the girl who's looking for her mother. As soon as she joins the
04:49investigation team, the first thing Morgan does is point out several mistakes in Adam's analysis of the
04:54case. If it weren't for Selena's protection, Adam would have already locked Morgan in the holding
04:59cell. Later, they go to the victim's sister's house for questioning. Just by glancing at items
05:05in the cabinet and a biology essay on the table, Morgan suspects that this woman is hiding something
05:10and keeps questioning her alibi. Adam feels frustrated, believing that Morgan is only a consultant while
05:18he is the actual detective. They have a loud argument downstairs, and Morgan storms off, but soon finds
05:24Adam in the men's restroom. Although she often argues with her colleagues, Morgan never neglects her work.
05:31She disguises herself as a cleaning staff member, sneaks into the woman's company, and finds a suspicious
05:36letter in the victim's drawer. Adam is stunned by Morgan's actions. He wonders how many documentaries
05:42Morgan must have watched, because he knows that evidence obtained this way cannot be used.
05:48Adam doesn't even dare to look at the letter, fearing he'll be implicated with Morgan. However,
05:53as a responsible officer, Adam still summons the victim's client. Yet this person also has an alibi
05:58for the day of the incident, although Morgan completely doubts it. The man claims that he went to a small
06:04town that day for a short vacation. However, the town only has a water park and a dance floor.
06:10Not exactly the kind of place a business executive would choose. As an advisor, Morgan isn't allowed
06:16in the interrogation room. So she can only knock on the door and suggest they ask more about what he did
06:21there. But when his lawyer arrives, the police reluctantly release the suspect. Leaving Morgan very
06:26disappointed. Morgan feels frustrated because the police asked for her help, but don't trust her.
06:31Adam even sends her home. The next day, Adam reluctantly visits Morgan's house to discuss
06:37his doubts. Morgan doesn't hesitate to ask Adam to watch her kids, then starts her analysis.
06:44At the victim's sister's house, she noticed many items covered in dust, except for a pair of frog
06:49figurines labeled with the name of the tourist town. This suggests that the victim's sister recently
06:54visited that town, where the man also went. It can't just be a coincidence. After dropping her kids off at
07:01school, Morgan and Adam go to the victim's house. She remembers that there was a photo on the victim's
07:06daughter's phone from three days before the incident, showing flowers that were still fresh.
07:11But in the police scene photo, the flowers had wilted. These flowers usually stay fresh for four
07:17or five days. Connecting this with the victim's sister's profession as a biologist and the man's job
07:22as a security technology expert. They realize the two may have adjusted the room's temperature to alter
07:27the time of death, creating an alibi. They didn't harm the other person because she was the victim's
07:33sister, likely out of affection. The tourist spot they visited wasn't random. It's where the sisters
07:39grew up. The police quickly locate the missing victim, who is found alive but tied up in a cabin.
07:45The case is successfully solved, and Morgan receives an official job offer from the police.
07:50After some thought, she declines because she doesn't want to be away from her family.
07:54Still, Selina promises to keep the position open for her. Adam also respects Morgan's decision.
08:02Watching the mother and daughter reunite, Morgan feels happy that she has helped someone,
08:06and thinks maybe this is the right job for her.
08:14A man falls from the rooftop onto his own car. In the initial investigation, Adam thinks he might
08:22have accidentally slipped while dancing, or that it was a possible suicide. But Morgan just smiles
08:28without saying anything, not wanting to hurt Adam's pride. By looking at the way the car is
08:33maintained, it's clear the owner cared a lot about it. If he intended to take his own life, would he
08:39destroy his beloved car? When they arrive at the scene, Morgan notices the direction in which the
08:45phone holder fell, and finds evidence that the police missed. Based on the where on the phone
08:50screen, she guesses the owner is left-handed. Adam unlocks the phone.
08:54Oh! Michelangelo's 1487 painting The Torment of St. Anthony.
08:59Morgan immediately realizes that the owner is a Catholic, and also a baseball fan from the sticker
09:04on the back. None of this matches the victim, which suggests there was a second person on the
09:10rooftop. According to Morgan, while the victim was dancing under the moonlight, this person
09:15suddenly appeared from the shadows. Adam can't argue with her logic, though he feels a bit
09:20frustrated working with someone as sharp as Morgan. When they arrive at the hospital to visit the victim,
09:26Morgan immediately notices that two of the victim's friends are left-handed. One is wearing a cross
09:31pendant, and there's a man with a tattoo of baseball stitches on his arm. Adam immediately brings him to
09:36the station. Faced with questioning, the suspect, Roland, denies pushing the victim, insisting they
09:42were very close friends. Morgan, frustrated outside the door, loudly says that just checking the phone
09:48would show Roland was on the rooftop last night. Faced with undeniable evidence, Roland admits he went
09:53to the rooftop, but insists that a shadowy figure pushed the victim. The police don't believe him,
10:00as his words seem baseless and the camera only captured the victim's car entering the alley,
10:04with no one else around. Morgan glances over the documents and starts thinking. While everyone
10:10dismisses the idea of a third person, Morgan proposes a different theory. He might. What'd you
10:16guys do with Damien's car? To confirm, she wants to examine the car again. In the trunk, the police
10:22find some paint marks. But since the victim was a car painter, no one paid attention to it. Morgan
10:28suggests that a third person could have hidden in the trunk to enter the scene without being caught
10:32on camera. Adam objects, pointing out that the trunk has been modified for safety, and anyone
10:38inside wouldn't be able to open it on their own. Morgan just smiles and asks him to check the trunk.
10:45While Adam is preparing to dismiss her theory, the trunk suddenly opens. Morgan laughs and steps out,
10:51explaining that the safety latch was tampered with. This explains why a well-maintained car had
10:56unusual paint marks. The third person was actually a co-worker of the victim at the repair shop.
11:02Adam has to admit that once again, Morgan was a great help. The two go to the repair shop, but it's
11:08clear that Adam doesn't get along with the staff there. Even after showing his police badge, no one
11:13pays him much attention. In the end, Morgan has to step in. Besides working as a cleaner, she has done many
11:20blue-collar jobs, so with just a few friendly words, she gets them comfortable enough to open up.
11:25After chatting for a while, the co-workers express sympathy for the victim, confirming that he was
11:30very friendly and had no conflicts with anyone, just as Roland said. When they return to the station
11:35and report back, Selena seems surprised. Wondering why, with two people going to investigate, Adam
11:40didn't gather any information himself. Adam, slightly embarrassed, says that there's no need to
11:45investigate so deeply. Just verifying the alibi is enough. While they're in a meeting, the neighboring
11:51crime unit needs support for a robbery case. Morgan rolls her eyes but stays silent. After
12:00going home, she and her daughter look at paintings by Roman, her husband who disappeared 15 years ago.
12:06However, her daughter, feeling rebellious, insists that her father abandoned them. Although Morgan is
12:12very smart, she's at a loss about how to handle her daughter's rebellious attitude. Looking at the
12:17paintings, she suddenly remembers a detail related to the case. In the middle of the night, she drags
12:22Adam to the scene to reenact the situation. Based on their positions, if the attacker wanted to push
12:27the victim, he would have had to hide behind a nearby stone wall and wait until the victim turned his
12:32back. Hearing this, Adam starts to feel frustrated, thinking he already knew that detail. But the next
12:38detail catches his attention. Morgan explains an astronomical phenomenon called the opposition effect.
12:44The opposition effect is an astronomical phenomenon during the first and last quarter phases of the
12:49moon cycle. That is when the moon is at a 90-degree angle to the sun and that's when it's at its
12:53brightest. On the night of the incident, this phenomenon happened by chance. Because of this,
12:59the attacker's vision was blurred by the bright moonlight and couldn't see clearly who he was
13:03pushing. This led the attacker to mistakenly harm the victim, who was well-liked by many. And since
13:09Roland is still alive, there's a chance the attacker might try again. Morgan and Adam quickly
13:14call Roland, but the music is too loud, so they can't communicate. Morgan checks the song and
13:19finds that only one bar plays that song. They immediately drive there. Even though they know the
13:25location, finding Roland in the bar is not easy. Morgan convinces the workers from the repair shop to
13:30help search. However, they arrive too late. When they find Roland, he has already passed away, with a wound
13:37on his abdomen, showing that the attacker was someone he knew. The police arrive quickly and
13:42secure the scene. Morgan is quiet. It's the first time she has witnessed someone lose their life in
13:47front of her. If she had arrived a bit earlier, she might have saved Roland. Luckily, the bar has
13:53cameras. Although they didn't capture the attacker's face, there is a flash of light when
13:57the weapon fires. Morgan takes note of this detail and starts thinking quickly, trying to piece together
14:02the missing clues to find the answer. At that moment, Morgan happens to pass by the room where
14:07the robbery investigation is taking place and notices a photo on the board. She immediately
14:11realizes that the flash from the robber's gun matches the one in Roland's case. Although she's
14:16not a weapons expert, having gone hunting with her child, she knows that an old hunting gun with lots
14:21of copper and lead in the barrel would produce a spark like that. This doesn't confirm that both cases
14:25have the same culprit, but Morgan is sure the gun is the same. Recognizing Morgan's skills,
14:30Adam decides to combine the two cases for investigation. While organizing the information,
14:36Morgan can't resist commenting. And then, her analysis begins. After connecting the clues,
14:45Morgan already has the answer in her mind, but she has to think about how to explain it to her
14:49colleagues. Morgan explains that there have been a total of five robberies, and in the first three,
15:00witnesses saw the robber driving away each time in a different car. In the last two cases,
15:05he didn't drive, possibly because he couldn't find a car, or perhaps a bigger possibility,
15:09his driver had left. Morgan draws a red line connecting the last two cases and asks,
15:15Really? Does no one take public transit?
15:17It's clearly a bus route. The robber changed his appearance and escaped by bus, which is why the
15:23last two robberies happened near a bus stop. Roland, who worked at an auto repair shop,
15:28could easily get access to customers' car keys. After the third robbery, he likely found new
15:33enjoyment from dancing with friends and decided to quit the robberies. However, his partner didn't
15:38let it go and even tried multiple times to harm Roland to prevent being exposed. The second attempt
15:43succeeded. But who is this person? Not long after, at a jewelry store, the robber steps in,
15:55only to find the police surrounding him. Based on the clues, Morgan couldn't pinpoint the exact
16:00suspect, but she figured out which store would be targeted next. The culprit turned out to be an
16:05employee from the auto repair shop, and it seems that his first friend he harmed left such a strong
16:09impression that he couldn't help but shed tears of regret. Morgan's first case is successfully
16:14solved. Thanks to her excellent performance, Adam arranges a reward for her. When she arrives home,
16:20Morgan also gets some good news from Selena.
16:22A man is taking a bath when someone suddenly pulls his legs. After struggling, he drowns in the water.
16:43Adam, he only comments that, judging by the candles and scattered clothes at the scene,
16:47the victim likely had a wild night. Morgan nods in approval. However, she points out more subtle
16:53details. The towels on the floor. Two are folded, but the one on top is different. This suggests the
17:00suspect use the towel to clean the scene. Morgan kneels down and explains that a professional
17:05cleaner would use a mop. However, the marks at the scene clearly show the floor was wiped with a towel.
17:10As a guest, the victim wouldn't be so kind as to wipe the floor and then fold the towel.
17:15The victim may have met a woman with black hair the night before and was drugged before drowning.
17:20Adam interrupts, asking how Morgan knows the victim was drugged without an autopsy.
17:24Morgan explains simply,
17:26Well, because who does their dishes in a hotel room? Except you, maybe. Anyway, this glass was rinsed out and wiped clean,
17:33and why would you do that unless you were trying to get rid of white residue? Notice anything else about the glass?
17:36Well, it's a whiskey tumbler, lead-free, crystal-cut, which is harder and more durable than glass, withstands most scratches.
17:43Also refracts light beautifully.
17:45You want me to know you drink whiskey so bad.
17:48Point being...
17:48Adam quickly notices that the glass is very different from the usual ones in the room.
17:53According to Morgan's theory, the victim must have met a woman at a bar.
17:57They had a good time and went to the hotel together.
18:00They head to a nearby bar to investigate.
18:03The bartender confirms that the victim was with an attractive woman, but she had blonde hair.
18:07Really?
18:08Even though this differs from the initial theory, it doesn't change the situation.
18:12Hotel footage shows the blonde woman and the victim in the room for about 30 minutes.
18:17After she leaves, no one else enters.
18:19Additionally, the woman is a doctor, giving her access to medication.
18:24The police now have enough reason to bring her in for questioning.
18:27This is Morgan's first time participating in an interrogation.
18:31She quickly notices that the blonde woman is married.
18:34When asked about her relationship with the victim, the woman explains it was just casual fun between two adults, nothing serious.
18:41She says she went to the bathroom, and when she came out, the victim was asleep, so she left.
18:45However, the evidence clearly shows that no one else entered the victim's room after she left.
18:51Adam decides to cuff her, but Morgan suddenly pieces together the clues in her mind.
18:55She realizes the woman isn't lying.
18:58There were candles around the bathtub, and all of them had burned out except for one at the bottom, which was only halfway melted.
19:05This indicates that water splashing from the tub extinguished it when the victim struggled.
19:09If each candle burns for four hours, the incident happened two hours after the victim entered the room.
19:14This means the victim was still alive when the woman left.
19:19Adam reluctantly lowers the cuffs and looks at Morgan seriously.
19:23He tells her she'd better find another suspect, or he will really lose his temper.
19:28The next day, Morgan doesn't go to the police station.
19:31She takes the evidence from the case home instead.
19:34She hopes her son, who has inherited her sharp mind, can help find clues about the suspect.
19:39Adam immediately shows up at Morgan's house, trying to control his anger.
19:43However, taking evidence home is already against the rules, but letting someone else touch it, even with gloves, is still a violation.
19:50However, Morgan doesn't feel she did anything wrong.
19:53Everyone brings work home these days.
19:56She's doing unpaid overtime, so why is Adam still unhappy?
20:00Adam explains that the rules exist for a reason.
20:03If anyone finds out the evidence was taken out of the police station, it can't be used in court anymore.
20:08Luckily, Morgan has made a new discovery.
20:10The stitching on the victim's pants is unique.
20:14Only tailors in Madagascar use this technique.
20:17In that area, diagonal stitching is considered bad luck.
20:20Adam doesn't see how the stitching connects to the suspect, but agrees to search for the right tailors.
20:25To be fair, Adam isn't great at solving cases, but he's very good at finding people.
20:30After showing the victim's photo, a tailor provides a name that doesn't match the victim's hotel records.
20:35Could the victim have multiple identities and be a spy?
20:38Morgan thinks solving this is simple.
20:41They just need to go to the hotel's parking lot and use the victim's car keys.
20:45The car will likely have more clues.
20:48Even though Morgan once again breaks the rules by taking evidence outside, Adam doesn't say anything further.
20:53They quickly trace the car registration to the victim's home.
20:56Eduardo Cortez
20:58During a conversation with the victim's wife, Adam purposely mentions that her husband was with another woman before he died.
21:04Morgan wonders why Adam would hurt the family of such a deceitful man.
21:08Morgan is very smart, but she's not as skilled as Adam in questioning or handling emotions.
21:13Adam uses a photo of the woman to check if the wife knows her, ruling out jealousy as a motive.
21:18Clearly, both Adam and Morgan have things to learn from each other.
21:22Next, they need to figure out why the victim used a fake identity and how the suspect avoided security cameras to enter the room.
21:28From the crime scene photos, Morgan notices the window is open.
21:33Could the suspect have climbed in through the window?
21:35Adam immediately objects, as the room is on the fourth floor.
21:39Still, they need to check.
21:41At the window ledge, they find a layer of makeup powder.
21:44The rough wall surface suggests the suspect may have climbed through the window to get inside.
21:49After confirming how the suspect entered, they discover a new clue.
21:52The victim's account recently received $200,000.
21:55As a taxi driver, he couldn't have earned that much money.
21:59Following the money trail, they visit a retirement home and meet the person who transferred the funds.
22:04Shockingly, the woman claims she was engaged to the victim and was planning a honeymoon in Mexico.
22:09Her son is furious, knowing his mother was scammed.
22:12They now confirm the victim's true identity.
22:15A con artist who deceived women to steal their money.
22:18Morgan later returns to visit the victim's daughter, who has just lost her father.
22:22In a photo of the mother and daughter, Morgan notices a strange tattoo.
22:26Morgan arranges to meet Adam at a bar and orders a drink for him.
22:30Adam is surprised.
22:32They haven't known each other for long.
22:33So how does Morgan know what he likes?
22:36It turns out that after working as a janitor at the police station for a month,
22:39Morgan has learned to figure out people's personalities based on their trash.
22:43She probably knows Adam better than he knows himself.
22:46When the bartender brings the drink,
22:48Morgan points out the tattoo from the photo of the victim.
22:50It's a snake, identical to the one on the bartender's wrist.
22:55Adam turns to the bartender with a serious look.
22:58Sensing danger, the bartender tries to escape.
23:01But Adam, as always, is excellent at catching people.
23:07Soon, the bartender is restrained and taken to the police station.
23:11Adam, however, is still furious.
23:14If Morgan knew the bartender was suspicious, why didn't she inform him earlier?
23:17How can someone as smart as you are do so many stupid things?
23:21They have a heated argument.
23:23Morgan, frustrated by being criticized by someone she sees as less intelligent,
23:28declares she will quit.
23:29Adam, still angry, questions whether the police can solve any cases without her.
23:34Back at the station, Adam interrogates the bartender.
23:37The bartender insists he is not the killer.
23:40His role was only to help the victim find wealthy, vulnerable women.
23:44He explains that he and the victim met in prison, which is why they have matching tattoos.
23:49When the case hits a dead end,
23:51Morgan shows up at the station the next morning with a smile.
23:54She's not someone who gives up easily.
23:56Morgan points out that the bartender has long nails,
23:59which doesn't match someone capable of climbing to the fourth floor.
24:02Last night, Adam interrupted her before she could explain that the real suspect
24:06must have short nails and be skilled at climbing.
24:08The elderly woman's son from the care home fits this description.
24:12He owns climbing gear and has the ability to scale the building and attack the victim,
24:16drowning him afterward.
24:18His motive was to avenge his mother.
24:20When Adam orders his arrest,
24:22Morgan adds that they need to arrest one more person.
24:25The hotel window is normally locked.
24:27The suspect must have had an accomplice inside who opened the window and spiked the victim's drink.
24:32This person is the doctor they arrested earlier in the case.
24:35Finally, the case is solved.
24:38That day, the elderly woman's son planned to expose the victim scam,
24:41but accidentally met the doctor.
24:43After hearing what his mother went through, the doctor also wanted revenge.
24:47The two teamed up and carefully planned what they thought was the perfect way to punish the victim.
24:52They didn't believe they were doing anything wrong.
24:55To them, killing a scammer who preyed on the elderly and women was doing society a favor.
24:59However, despite being a scammer, the victim was still a loving father to his daughter.
25:04After the accomplices are arrested, Morgan apologizes to Adam.
25:08She admits that she sometimes lets her emotions take over and says things in the heat of the moment.
25:13To show her sincerity, Morgan bakes a cake for Adam, knowing it's his favorite.
25:18Morgan notices something strange about the plants in front of her.
25:22The garden owner planted cucumbers and tomatoes together.
25:25These two plants don't grow well together and compete for nutrients.
25:29A basic mistake like this shouldn't happen to an expert.
25:32Realizing something, Morgan kneels down to inspect the plants.
25:35She finds that they haven't even taken root.
25:50They immediately start digging and discover a body buried beneath the soil.
25:55Not long ago, a woman named Mia came to the police station to report that her two daughters might be missing.
26:00Her ex-husband had picked them up, but she couldn't contact him.
26:03He seemed to have vanished.
26:06After the divorce, they fight for custody.
26:08Adding to the complexity, Mia's wealthy father, John, holds a deep grudge against her ex-husband.
26:14The police later find that the man purchases a cabin in the woods.
26:18When they arrive to investigate, they witness the scene from the beginning of the case.
26:22According to forensics, the man is dead for about 12 hours.
26:26A cafe owner tells the police that the victim argues with a woman the day before.
26:30The woman is around 30, with long hair and glasses.
26:34At the scene, the police find a hidden photo inside a book.
26:39Shortly after, Morgan and the team visit Mia's house.
26:42Hearing the news, the family appears confused.
26:46While Adam questions Mia, Morgan wanders around the house and chats with the housekeeper.
26:50Morgan learns that the victim isn't as bad as the rumors suggest.
26:54He treats the children very well.
26:56Last weekend, the housekeeper even sees him leaving John's office.
27:00Back at the station, Morgan reviews documents and notices something odd in the custody case.
27:06The report claims that the victim gives the children unhealthy snacks,
27:09which doesn't make sense for someone who grows his own vegetables and fruits.
27:13This is just one of many inconsistencies.
27:16Hearing this, Adam remembers something.
27:18After a simple search, he identifies the woman who argues with the victim.
27:22It is Sarah, someone responsible for risk assessments and writing reports.
27:27Sarah insists that she works fairly and without bias.
27:30But after a quick look, Morgan notices some clues.
27:33Overdue bills pile on the table.
27:35Something Morgan is all too familiar with.
27:38Sarah's personal items are all bargain purchases.
27:41But what stands out is a wreath hanging on a picture frame.
27:44The wreath contains fresh berries from the Mokihana plant, native to the island of Kauai.
27:49A trip to Kauai is a luxury for someone in Sarah's situation.
27:53How comfy are those super soft slippers at a luxury five-star resort?
27:59Jeez, I just, I wonder what the A could possibly stand for.
28:04Sarah's expression changes immediately.
28:07Just as Morgan suspects, Sarah can't afford such extravagances.
28:11It turns out that a billionaire invites her to the resort in exchange for falsifying the risk report.
28:16The slippers she wears are disposable ones from that hotel.
28:20Exposed, Sarah confesses everything.
28:23She meets with the victim that day because he discovers some dark secrets and plans to expose John,
28:27hoping to win back custody.
28:29Bribed, Sarah refuses to help and walks away.
28:32The billionaire John now becomes the prime suspect.
28:35However, John's bodyguard testifies that they worked together until 10pm that night.
28:40How was traffic?
28:41Bad.
28:42Traffic's always bad.
28:43Those tickets from the toll?
28:44No, fast pass.
28:46Yeah, write down your make and model.
28:47We'll check the cameras.
28:49Or you could just skip to the truth, Curtis.
28:51Did Mr. Ashford pressure you to lie?
28:53Curtis.
28:54He did.
28:56I don't know where Mr. Ashford was last night, but I didn't drive him anywhere.
29:00At the same time, Morgan notices some scratches on a cabinet, sparking a new theory.
29:05According to the housekeeper, she saw the victim coming out of John's office.
29:09Morgan prints a document using the office printer and sees that the pink smudge on the paper matches the one found on the photo from the victim's home.
29:16Although Morgan doubts John would harm the children, they realize he is definitely involved.
29:21Adam discovers that the man in the photo is a local Supreme Court judge.
29:24This judge has repeatedly helped John build hotels in protected areas.
29:29If these actions are investigated, they will be impossible to cover up.
29:33Adam also finds a message John sent that day.
29:36Must speak.
29:37Urgent.
29:37With no other choice, John admits everything but insists he never intended to kill the victim.
29:43When they locate the man who received the message, his testimony surprises everyone.
29:48The man explains that he did receive the message and only wanted to persuade the victim not to reveal the secret.
29:53However, when he arrived, the victim was already arguing with Mia.
29:57Seeing the situation, he left.
30:00Yet, Mia never mentioned this to the police.
30:02As a mother herself, Morgan wants to believe Mia.
30:06But Mia's sudden unreachability complicates things.
30:09That night, when Morgan returns home, she sees news about the missing girls on TV.
30:14The images spark an idea.
30:16The scratches on the cabinet were caused by someone moving a Buddha statue.
30:20The purpose of moving the statue was to unlock the cabinet.
30:23However, nothing inside was missing.
30:26This means one thing.
30:27Something inside had been replaced.
30:30Morgan goes to an antique shop and finds Mia there, selling items.
30:34How did you know I'd be here?
30:35Well, Google tells me that this guy is an expert in Chinese antiques and your mom loves China.
30:41Honestly, I think your family's hogging all the books on the subject.
30:44So tell me, am I correct that the Ming at your parents' house is a fake?
30:47Because it had a little boy playing Colin Maillard on it.
30:50And that wouldn't exactly be historically accurate, would it?
30:52Well...
30:53No, it's not.
30:53Because Colin Maillard became a hit in the 16th century.
30:56So little boys wouldn't be playing it in the Ming.
30:58You know what?
30:58It doesn't matter.
30:59That's not the point.
30:59The point is, the Ming at your parents' house is not real because you put a fake in there
31:03to replace the real one, which is right here.
31:09So tell me, Mia, why do you need so much cash?
31:12Exposed, Mia no longer hides the truth.
31:15She admits she received a call from a stranger saying her daughters had been kidnapped.
31:19The caller demanded $200,000 and warned her not to contact the police.
31:24Mia couldn't tell her father because she knew he would insist on reporting it.
31:27Left with no choice, she came up with a plan.
31:31Sell some antiques to gather the money.
31:33Morgan informs Adam about the situation.
31:35Together, they accompany Mia to the drop-off point.
31:39However, after taking the money, the kidnapper refuses to release the girls.
31:43Fortunately, Adam had placed a tracker in the bag.
31:46They chase the suspect but stop when he sets the car on fire.
31:50Worried the girls might be in the trunk, they prioritize rescuing them.
31:53When they open the trunk, they find it empty.
31:56Meanwhile, the suspect escapes.
31:59After extinguishing the fire, Morgan inspects the car.
32:03She notices the suspect is relatively short.
32:06Turning on the car radio, she hears a gambling program, sparking a new idea.
32:10Morgan now knows who the real kidnapper is.
32:13Despite plenty of shade, he parked directly in the sun, right in front of the mansion.
32:18Morgan realizes this spot aligned perfectly with Mia's room.
32:21The driver could watch Mia from the car.
32:23It's clear he secretly admired her.
32:26To impress Mia, the driver wanted to get rich quickly through gambling.
32:30Instead of winning, he lost everything.
32:33Desperate, he resorted to kidnapping.
32:35His plan was not only to get ransom money but also to win Mia's heart when she was most vulnerable.
32:40Wendell didn't deserve Mia.
32:42Just as Morgan suspects, Curtis confesses without remorse.
32:45When asked why he didn't release the girls after getting the money, he says they escaped on their own that morning.
32:51However, since the place where they were held is deep in the forest, the girls are now missing again.
32:56Upon hearing this, the police launch a wide search.
33:00Meanwhile, Morgan finds a survival guide in the victim's house.
33:03Following the first rule, go toward the sunrise or follow migrating birds, which means heading north.
33:09Soon, they find walnut shells along the path.
33:24Finally, they reach the girls, safe and in each other's embrace.
33:28Once again, they reach the girls, safe and in each other's embrace.
