Victim's Fin Geoffrey Nightingale,
shot three times in the chest.
Guess the killer wanted to make sure he was dead.
No kiddin'.
And he was shot close range with a 9mm.
Fin Nightingale, why do I know that name?
Well, you ever heard of the Gale Stores?
They're a high-end retail chain.
Fin Nightingale was the president of Nightingale ltd.
His brother Topher is second in command.
Yeah, it's a family business. It's actually a very
- interesting story... - Corporal.
To make a long story short,
the Nightingale empire spans from
clothing stores to golf clubs.
Not to mention that every museum
and hospital in the city has a wing named after them.
That's a lot of money.
Yes. Which translates to a lot of power.
Fin and his brother have a lot of friends in high places.
Needless to say, there's a lot of pressure
to solve this case and solve it quick.
- We'll want to speak with the brother. - Yes, of course.
So what do we know?
The killer came in through the servant's entrance,
nothing appears to have been stolen but we're still checking.
Any witnesses?
Yeah, there were two uh... women
with him here last night.
Uh, but the family butler, one Grant Evans, who's lived
on the premises for decades, he wasn't here last night.
- Where was he? - We have a unit out looking for him right now.
We'll speak with the girls,
find out what they saw exactly. I'm guessing that's them there?
Ye. Well at least he died with a smile on his face.
Dev.
Thank you for speaking with us Ms. Smith.
Of course. I feel like I'm in a nightmare.
Like I'm still waiting to wake up, you know?
I know it's been a long night.
What was your relationship with Fin like?
Social.
Any ideas who might've wanted to kill him?
Honestly, I didn't really know him very well, but...
- But what? - Well, he's Fin Nightingale.
One of the richest playboys in the country.
A guy that powerful, I'd imagine he had some enemies.
Well, in statement you had mentioned
that you heard a woman's voice before the shorts were fired.
Yes, I'm pretty sure.
- Do you remember what you heard? - I couldn't make it out...
But he was definitely talking to a woman.
Do you remember anything else?
I do remember seeing this guy, I think he was staff...
Snooping around earlier that night.
Like, he was being all sneaky and stuff.
I didn't think much of it at the time,
but he seemed like he didn't want us to know he was there.
You're talking about the butler?
- Yeah. What was his name? - Grant Evans.
I've served three generations of Nightingales,
I was there the day Fin was brought home from the hospital.
He was... like a son to me.
- You're not my father. - Thank god for that.
You're an embarrassment to the Nightingale name.
You talk to me like that again, you're fired.
We heard there was some animosity between the two of you.
Fin and I had our differences.
I wished he could've conducted himself more like his father.
With more dignity, more... self-restraint.
Was Fin aware that you felt that way?
He was...
He played with fire.
Where were you last night during the shooting?
I had the night off and was spending it at a colleague's.
We have a witness who saw you
at the Nightingale residence around 7:30.
That's correct.
I forgot my cellphone and went back to retrieve it.
I was only in the house for about 5 minutes.
No one saw you leave?
It's my job to at least attempt to be invisible.
I'm afraid my entrances and exits don't warrant
an announcement, sergeant.
Well, over the years you must've seen and heard many things.
Arguments, conversations with coworkers,
- ex-girlfriends. - Of course.
Broke their hearts. Despised by his brother.
What was Fin's relationship like with his younger brother?
- Topher? - Yeah.
They got along for the most part.
- Were they competitive with one another? - You could say that.
The truth is... Topher spent his life
living in his brother's shadow.
Their father always favoured Fin,
left him in control of the company when he died.
Topher probably didn't like that.
Would anyone?
We understand that Fin was a bit of a playboy.
There anyone in particular where things ended badly?
Maybe...
It's not right!
Never let that woman back in my house ever again.
Of course.
Any women come to mind?
A bitter ex? A lover?
Just the other day a young lady came to the house,
she'd been once or twice before.
Each time she left furious.
And Fin would lock himself in his office for hours after her.
But I never got a name.
I'm sorry I can't be more helpful.
Thank you.
Alright, let's put that together.
Yeah. Yeah, that's it.
OK, I think that should do it.
I'm going to run this and see what comes up.
Nice.
That our prime suspect?
Yeah, right now anything's possible.
Grant saw this person and Fin fight.
The girls, Aimsley and Rachel,
they heard Fin talking to the killer.
They're pretty sure that it was a female voice.
How do we know those girls aren't involved?
Well, we tested their clothing and hands for gunshot residue,
there was nothing.
And the butler's alibi also checks out.
What about Topher Nightingale, the brother?
That's who we're talking to next.
He's at... 27 Kingsford Place.
- That's Fin's estate. - Not anymore.
I had Fin's legal papers sent over.
The Nightingale fortune is in trust and handed down
to the next in line, so the estate now belongs to...
Topher Nightingale.
Lucky him.
Huh.
♪♪
Excuse me?
Mr. Nightingale?
I'm Sergeant Mcclusky.
This is Special Consultant Logan.
- Hello. - We'd like to ask you a couple
- of questions about your brother. - Yes, anything.
Do you have any idea who could've done this?
No. Not yet, unfortunately.
He was the only family I had left.
So, the Nightingale lineage stops with you?
Unfortunately, yes.
So, that would make you the sole heir to
the entire Nightingale fortune.
Yes, I guess you're right.
I'm sorry, I just can't believe Fin's gone.
And with him, my problems, too.
Where were you last night?
Me? I was at work till 11.
We're gearing up for our annual GM.
Why wasn't Fin with you?
My brother never really worked late nights.
What was your relationship like with Fin?
Like I said, Finny was a great older brother.
We were friends, we were co-workers.
He tried to push me out of the company.
So, things were good between you two?
Things couldn't have been better.
Rigands gave me your number.
So you can't think of anyone who'd want to kill your brother?
Fin was as famous for the women he dated
as he was for his money.
I wouldn't be surprised if some old girlfriend is behind this.
So no one particular comes to mind?
I wish I knew more, but no, I...
I have no idea who killed my brother.
Alright, thank you. That's all for now.
(Toby): He almost seemed relieved his brother was dead.
Well, you think he's involved?
- He thought something about Fin - (Phone ringing)
- ushing him out of the company, - (Phone ringing)
then I saw him on the phone mentioning someone named Rigands.
Dev, what's going on?
I got a match on that sketch from Toby.
A facial reconition ID'd her from a military database as one...
Carlie Hutton. Age 25,
did two tours in Afghanistan,
was honourably discharged two months ago.
I looked into her military records.
Annual rifle and pistol qualifications
she scored as an expert shot,
- year after year. - Anything else?
Yeah, we showed her picture to Grant Evans,
the butler.
OK.
He said he thinks that was the girl who he saw arguing
- with Fin that night. - Yeah, let's bring her in.
Yeah, and I need you to look into Topher Nightingale,
check his finances, phone records and anything to do
- with someone named Rigands. - Yeah.
- Got it, will do. - OK, thanks. Bye.
Oh, the lovely Tia.
To what do we own the honor to your accompany this afternoon?
Just thought I'd drop by and grab me some lunch.
Oh, well. Can I recommend the albacore tuna?
- The caper sauce is amazing. - Oh, well that sounds great.
Um, I think I'll have the club with a side of pickles.
Alright. The usual.
You didn't just come here for lunch, did you?
- Am I that obvious? - Cop a squat, come on.
- Lay it on me. What do you got? - Well, it's...
It's Toby, I mean you know him better than anyone, right?
I guess that's true, yeah.
I've been thinking a lot about his past
and he's got a complicated history.
OK, where are you going with this?
(Exhales)
It's just... he says he doesn't want to know
what happened to his mom but I don't believe him.
I mean, I can see he's hurting.
You know, it's a complicated issue and quite frankly,
in his position, a little denial doesn't hurt.
- But he has other options. - Like what?
Like, he can try to find answers.
That's what I do for a living, I find answers,
and I was hoping you could help, too.
I don't think that's a good idea.
I mean, I don't know what he's told you, but...
Pff. Hardly anything.
OK, well then that's for a reason.
Alright, he's probably trying to protect you.
Protect me from what?
Would I need to be protected from Toby's past?
OK, I’ve side too much, alright. You want a sandwich?
I'll get you a sandwich, but anything else, you're on your own.
And if you want to know about Toby's past, ask Toby.
(Sinister music)
It says here that you did two tours in Afghanistan?
Yeah, yeah. Just got out.
Still trying to figure out what I want to do with my life.
I'm sorry, you still haven't told me why I'm here.
Actually, yeah. We have a few questions
about one of your friends.
Friend?
- That guy? - Fin Nightingale.
I uh, never heard of him
until I saw his picture in the paper this morning.
So you never met him at his house?
No, never.
We have witness who saw you at Fin's house.
The conversations between the two of you got heated?
Huh! Well it's not true. Whoever told you that is lying.
Where were you last night, Carlie?
Uhh... home.
Did anyone see you?
No, probably not.
You know, lying to us is only going to get you into more trouble.
I'm telling you the truth.
How would someone like me know Someone like him?
Why won't they believe me?
I don't know, it's like she is trying to convince us
she doesn't know Fin.
Could she be lying?
She could be, I guess.
But my reads of Grant were clear
and my reads of Carlie
weren' t contradicting anything she was saying.
Maybe Grant saw Carlie somewhere else
and just mixed up the context.
- Does that happen? - It's possible.
What about the younger brother? Tell me about him.
Topher Nightingale, right. Um...
I got a read of him on a phone call
talking about someone named Rigands.
- Is that a clear read? - Yeah.
Had to ask.
So I haven't been able to ID this Rigands character,
but I did manage to trace three calls made from Topher'cell
to a highly secure VOIP address.
Now two of those calls
came before Fin's murder and the last one,
six hours after Fin's time of death.
Who's the VOIP address belong to?
It's hidden behind an IP spoofer so
it's going to take me a little bit of time
to trace it back to its origin.
- That's pretty suspicious. - Yeah, and it gets more so.
I looked into his finances and
I found a money transfer from his line of credit for 60 grand.
What's odd about that?
Well, the money was transferred to
a numbered account in the Cayman Islands,
just an hour after the second call
was made to that secure VOIP address.
Well, 60 grand, that's chump change for a Nightingale.
To Fin Nightingale, yes. But not so much for Topher.
What are you saying Topher's broke?
About two years ago
Topher lost most of his inheritance to bad investments.
Since then, he's been
staying afloat off of borrowed money,
just trying to keep up appearances.
Wait, so he loses his money,
he's getting kicked out of the family business...
And he makes two calls to a secured line
right before his brother's killed?
Transfers 60 grand he doesn't have the Caymans.
You thinking what I am thinking?
He hired a contract killer to get rid of his brother.
♪♪
Can you tell me who these three calls were made to?
I'm sorry, I don't remember.
What's your price?
Well why don't you tell us about the 60 grand
you transferred 5 days ago?
- 60 grand? - Mm-hmm.
You expect me to remember how I spent 60 grand?
I spend more for breakfast.
Really? You didn't lose 90% of your inheritance in
- the market meltdown last year? - Excuse me?
Am I getting my information wrong?
I don't remember.
Maybe you can remember who you transferred the money to.
It was to a numbered account in the Caymans.
I don't remember.
You have to spend money to make money.
Do you know who killed your brother.
No, of course not.
How do I get to Fin? I need to talk to him.
There are consequences for actions, Mr. Nightingale.
You sure? 'Cause if you're not telling us something...
Listen. You may not realize but I passed the bar,
so I am very aware of my rights.
Unless you're prepared to arrest me,
this interrogation is over.
So he slammed the door and then
she talked about consequences.
Yeah, do you think she's our contract killer?
I can't be sure, but he mentioned something about
spending money to make money.
Well, she's our only link right now,
we need to find her.
Do you want to make a sketch of her?
I think we can do better than that.
I saw her put her hands on Topher's door,
I think we can get her fingerprints.
- OK, let me talk to Alex. - OK.
Hopefully this mystery woman
- will give us some answers. - Michelle.
♪ Talking to myself in the mirror ♪

What's up?
Nothing. Just thought it might be nice
to come home to a nice meal is all.
Yeah, I can smell that.
Sit. Try it. It's a favourite of mine growing up.
What? I just... Why... is this...?
I really am transparent, aren't I?
Yeah. A little bit, but that's a good thing.
So honestly, what is this? What'd you do?
When we were talking,
you know, about families and parents. I just...
I think it must be hard for you
After all these years not knowing where your mother is.
Uh - huh. My mother.
That's what this is about?
Honestly, not much to know, really.
OK well, what's not much? (Exhales)
Well... Her name was Maya.
And I remember she used to like to
sing along to Janis Joplin songs
and she was last seen in a town named Auburn.
- She... She... - What?
Why are you so interested in this anyway?
Because this is your life and I want to be a part of it.
- You are a part of it. - But... I don't get it.
I mean, don't you want to know where you come from
- or who your family is? - Yeah, of course. Yeah, I do.
Look, I looked into it.
- But it's a dead end. - OK.
- Trust me. - I just...
- I just thought... - I know what you thought.
I appreciate it.
My past is my past.
I'm happy here with you, in the present. OK?
- What's in the soup? Looks great. - (Melancholy music)
Well, we got an ID from the prints that we got at Topher's.
Meet Natalie Gall.
Ex-cop, kicked off the force for substance abuse.
Yeah, went to rehab, cleaned herself up
and she seems to have stayed out of trouble ever since.
So what's she doing now?
- She's working as a PI. - So how's she involved in this?
You can ask her yourself, she's on her way up.
Ah, I got the short straw. Nice.
So, you were at the Nightingale residence recently?
Nightingale? I have no idea who you're talking about.
They know. How do they know?
We found your fingerprints at Topher Nightingale's residence.
We know that he hired you.
I wasn't hired by Topher.
So, why were you there?
I thought he was the father but the DNA wasn't a perfect match.
You were looking for someone's biological father?
Yeah, hardest case of my career.
All I had to go on was an adoption file that
led to "Nowheresville" and back. It was a mess.
He only information that was filled in
was a surname in the birth father's column
and an address.
So all you had to go on was the name Nightingale?
- Not Nightingale. York. - Who's York?
The address I was given was for a Gale Store.
That's the Nightingale's retail chain.
Yeah, at first I thought it was a joke.
Somebody leaving a department store as their home address.
Then I dug a little deeper and it turns out York
is the maiden name of Fin and Topher's mother.
You have the DNA test to prove this?
Yeah, I got a sample off a coffee cup Fin threw away.
And it's a perfect match.
So who's your client?
She gave me a bogus name; clients do it all the time.
They want their anonymity, so they fake their identity.
What'd she look like?
Brown hair, brown eyes, about 5' 4...
This is him? This is my father?
Is that your client?
Yeah, that's her.
So, Carlie is Fin's daughter?
Yeah, I don't know how she did it,
but she's been lying to us the whole time.
♪♪ (Ominous music )
Is that her?
Yep, that's the girl who hired me.
You sure?
Yes, that's Fin Nightingale's daughter.
Alright.
Already told you that I never knew Fin Nightingale.
Yeah, you did mention that already.
Alright, so let's leave Fin Nightingale out of this for a second.
Let's talk about Natalie Gall,
the private investigator you hired.
A PI? Are you kidding?
Why on earth would I hire a PI? That makes no sense.
I don't have that kind of cash.
What are they trying to make me say?
So you're saying you didn't hire a PI
to track down your biological parents?
No, of course not.
So you didn't know that Fin Nightingale was your father.
That's why the cops took my DNA.
Andrew Hutton was my father.
He worked in construction his whole life.
He died with my mom in a car accident last year.
Fin Nightingale...
Not my father.
Did you kill Fin Nightingale?
Oh, my G...
I don't want to talk about any of this. I want a lawyer.
- I want to talk to a lawyer. - OK.
She's not making this easy.
Look, I've read people with multiple personalities,
con-artists, even a few psychopaths and
their reads are always a bit off.
With Carlie, I'm reading her clearly.
She's thinking of a reality that she believes in.
We need to keep pressing her.
What if she's on some type of medication
that's blocking your reads, you know, like Tia.
- Yeah, no, no. - You can't read Tia.
Tia... The meds, they block it like a closed door.
With Carlie, it's wide open.
I can see everything.
Corporal, look into Carlie's medical history, anyway.
See if there's some kind of condition.
Yeah, also look into her military history.
See if she's had any contact with chemical weapons
while she was on tour that might've altered her brain chemistry.
Yeah, that might be the case,
but the fact is:
Toby, your reads aren't exactly helping us right now.
If anything, I think they're getting in the way.
Where's the evidence to back all this up, hm?
And if Carlie did do it, why?
Why'd she go to all the trouble of finding her birth father
and then just kill him?
Maybe Fin wanted nothing to do with her, you know?
She was upset and wanted revenge.
Maybe she snapped. She just returned from the tour of duty,
her adoptive parents died year ago in a tragic car accident.
She could be suffering from PTSD.
It's common for someone suffering from mental distress
to construct an alternate reality.
I'm gonna keep working.
Maybe that's why Toby's reads have been so confusing.
It's a lot of "maybes",
we're grasping at straws here, guys.
Get me some evidence, I'll bring her back in.
Till then, I gotta let her go.
Look, I know my reads are a bit confusing right now,
I get it but...
There's just too many coincidences for her not to be connected.
I read Grant and I see her
and Natalie ID's her.
Yeah, she ends up being Fin's daughter.
Yeah, you're right. There's too many connections here,
they all point to her. But, I guess...
- Evidence. - Yeah.
I don't know Oz... It's hard not to question
what I'm getting in the reads right now.
- Maybe it's me. - No, it's not you.
- It's gotta be her, come on. - Maybe I'm losing my touch.
OK, here. I'll prove it to you. Read me.
- No, it's OK, it's OK. - No, no, no. Come on, read me.
I love when you do it. Read me!
You're being ridiculous. Your power's just fine.
Also, you got some ketchup on your chin.
- See, I told you! - Pretty good.
- See, you're good! - OK.
Maybe I need to be more specific.
- Right? - Sure.
Just, think about your day.
What happened, who'd you see?
I'd rather not actually...
I don't think that's a good idea.
You want my advice? You want to know about
Toby's past? Ask Toby.
You saw Tia? Ask me about what?
I don't know what you're talking about.
OK? But look, your power's in tip-top shape,
- so that's good. Back to work. - No no.
Was she asking about my mother again?
- I don't want to get involved. - I can't believe that
she's still asking about this. I told her to stop.
- Her heart is in the right place. - That's not the point.
She's just looking out for you, bud.
Well whose side are you on?
I'm not on anybody's side.
This is why I don't get involved in family issues.
'Cause it gets messy and I don't want any part of it.
I'm out, starting now.
Sorry, OK? Just, I've got a lot on my plate right now.
OK, so focus on the case.
Alright? Clearly your mind is in tip top shape
so it's this woman who's screwing with you
and figure out why.
- Would you like some dessert? - Yes.
Yeah. That's it.
Great, send it over. OK, thanks.
- Think we got him. - Who?
That was the IRS. The numbered account that
- Topher sent that 60 grand belongs to... - Ben Rigands.
He's kind of a concierge to the uber rich.
What kind of concierge?
The kind that can get the rich and famous
whatever they need.
He's a kind of a connector.
You know, illegal substances, escorts, etcetera.
- Contract killers? - Possibly.
- We've got to get Topher back in here. - Yeah.
So how do you know Ben Rigands?
Never seen him before.
How did they find him?
You transferred 60 grand to him. What was it for?
I already told you, I don't remember.
I want him taken out.
Well we have a team apprehending him as we speak,
so you can either tell us what you hired him for
or you can let him make his own statement.
This isn't how I wanted it to come out.
What to come out?
Rigands. Yes, I paid him the money,
but it was a business transaction
for services rendered, that's all.
And what were those services, exactly?
- I can't say. - Did you hire him to kill your brother?
No. Of course not.
Fin and I had our issues.
He may have treated me like garbage my whole life,
but kill him? God.
No. Never. He was my family, my brother.
Never had to do a thing. Someone else hated him more than me.
So what? Is he playing us?
Actually, it looks like he's telling the truth.
Using the minimum ping RTT measurements,
I was finally able to geolocate the specified target host.
Woah, woah. English.
I know who owns the secure VOIP phone.
The one that Rigands was putting Topher in touch with was...
Francois Gilles. A brilliant businessman,
a prolific investor, this guy's up there with Buffet,
icon, i mean, the best.
What does he have to do with this?
Well, I made a few calls and it seems like Topher,
in collusion with Ben Rigands,
has been making discrete plays
to shareholders trying to convince them to sell to Francois.
So he was trying to sell the family business from under Fin?
Yeah, he orchestrates a hostile takeover in exchange
for taking Fin out and making way for Topher.
"Take Fin out." That's what Topher was talking about.
So he wasn't trying to kill his brother?
No, he was just trying to get his brother
pushed out of the company.
We gotta get back to Carlie.
- With what? - We know she's been lying to us.
Natalie Gall, Grant Evans have ID'd her.
It's not enough.
Then we keep questioning her. Like you said,
she's gotta have a breaking point.
I agree. Toby, I do.
But there's no way Becker is going to allow us to bring her back
in without supporting evidence. I'm sorry.
Carlie?
Carlie.
Hey, I just want to ask you a few more questions.
Of course. Yeah, sure.
Great, good. I was just hoping you could walk me through
what you did on the night of Fin's murder.
Where you were, who you were with.
Well, I thought that we already went through all of this.
We did, but there was a few holes in your time-line.
OK. I was at home for most of the day
and I had a job interview at night.
Oh yeah, what time was that?
Around... 10:00 pm?
Mm-hmm. And the first time that you heard of Fin Nightingale,
when was that?
- The next morning on the news. - Thought that was in the paper.
- Yeah it was in the paper. - OK.
And you weren't aware that he was your father
until the interrogation with us?
Yeah, exactly. I was...
Don't walk away from me!
- I need you to get out of my house. - You are my father!
Look. I can't be, OK? I never had a daughter.
- Grant, get in here! - I can find my own way out.
Did you ever meet your uncle Topher Nightingale?
Look, no. I don't know any of them.
I don't want to know any of them.
My own father and mother never cared about me.
Gave me up.
What about your mother? Aren't you curious to find her?
No. I... no.
What are you doing here?
It's not going to make me change my mind.
I told you we're done.
But I'm your daughter.
OK, um. Why don't we go down to the IIB
and put all this on the record?
Yeah, sure.
- Car's just over here. - OK, yeah.
Help me! Help me! He's attacking me!
Hey buddy, is there a problem?
I'm a cop! IIB, OK?!
So Carlie killed Fin.
She finally broke and I was able to see what really happened.
I guess no one can keep up a charade like that forever.
What kind of car did she drive off in?
A Burgundy beater, I didn't get a license plate.
She doesn't have a car, as far as I can tell.
It may have been stolen.
I'll check to see if any thefts have been reported.
Also check surveillance cameras in the area.
We got an APB out on her,
but she's got a pretty good head start.
Where's she going?
She's desperate. She knows time is running out.
You know, when I read her,
she said something about how her mother and father
never really cared.
If she killed Fin because she felt abandoned,
what's to stop her from finding her mother?
Well, the PI said that she never found her mother.
No, she didn't.
But now that we know where the father is,
maybe we can find the mother.
And probably so can Carlie.
Right.
OK. Fin was 42,
that means he was 16
when Carlie was conceived.
He was in high school.
He went to one of those posh Private schools.
What about Topher and the butler?
They know who the mother is?
They both claim to have no knowledge
of Fin ever fathering a child.
If we can get a list of every girl
that went to Fin's school at that time,
we may be able to find her by process of elimination.
- Let's start making calls. - Let's go.
Hello, hi. Uh, this is Dev Clark...
No, no, no. No, no. Fin Nightingale.
OK.
Hi, this is Dev Clark with the IIB, I'm calling...
Hi, is this Brenda de Teran?
This is Toby Logan with the IIB.
OK, thank you for your time.
Alright, thank you for your help.
Yep, thanks.
Well, we're almost through Fin's entire class,
plus a grade on either side.
He could've met the girl anywhere.
We should be looking at other schools, Michelle.
Thank you.
Guys, I think I got something.
OK. Victoria Marx.
She's in the year behind Fin.
Looks like she left halfway through her grade 10 year
to go to a finishing school in Paris, France.
Now, I've got a diploma,
I've got flight logs to and from Paris.
For all intents and purposes, she was there.
I sense a "but" coming on.
Well, I spoke to her teachers and her classmates.
No one, not one person, remembers her at that school.
- It was a cover. - Yeah, very expensive cover.
She paid to go to a fancy finishing school in Paris, France,
but didn't attend.
Do we have an address?
Alright, we've gotta get to her before Carlie does.
So, what is this all about exactly?
I'm pulled from my home, told practically nothing.
Uh, Fin Nightingale was killed a few days ago.
I heard. But what does that have to do with me?
I haven't seen him in years.
Do you recognize her?
Could it be?
We believe that this woman,
Carlie Hutton, was involved in his death.
Is this your daughter, Ms. Marx?
You have to understand. I was...
So young. Young and in love.
And... when my mother found out I was pregnant,
she made my decision for me.
So she took you out of school for the year
and made it look like you were in France?
She did. But I never left the country.
Wait, so your mother handled the adoption?
Well, she tried to involve Fin's mother,
but Mrs. Nightingale would have nothing to do with it.
From my understanding,
there was a very large payment to keep my family quiet.
- And Fin never knew? - No, he didn't.
The only information that we have from the adoption papers
is the name York and the address for one of the gale stores.
- York? - Fin's mother's maiden name.
That's how the PI and ultimately Carlie found Fin.
Sounds like something my mother would do.
She was always one to hold a grudge.
The reason that we brought you here is because
we fear that you may be in danger.
That she may be coming after you next.
She must be so hurt to be that vengeful.
I tried looking for them for years. I just...
- I had to give up eventually. - I'm sorry. Them?
You didn't know? I had twins.
Let's meet Margot Gates. This is Carlie's twin.
I was able to subpoena the files from the adoption agency
and identify the family that she was placed with.
She lives in upstate New York,
she travelled from foster home to foster home,
she's all of her life been sort of a drifter.
Yeah, I knew a lot of kids like that growing up.
I almost ended up one of them.
So, could Margot be our killer?
That would explain why your reads of Carlie
- haven't made any sense. - So if Carlie didn't kill Fin,
the woman I saw in the parking lot was Margot?
So what was she doing at Carlie's apartment building?
- They in this thing together? - Is Carlie still missing?
We have a unit looking but uh, there's no sightings as of yet.
Yeah, right before I saw Margot in the parking lot,
I heard her trunk slam shut.
What if Carlie's not on the run?
What if Margot took her?
Know what?
Let me check what kind of phone Margot has,
maybe we can get a GPS signal on.
Why would she kidnap Carlie?
Well, it's been all over the news
since it broke that she was Fin's heir.
OK, here it is.
Oh, you're not going to believe this.
Nightingale residence.
Well, she never intended to go after the mother.
Maybe she's trying to wipe out the entire Nightingale lineage.
First Fin, then Carlie, now Topher.
The entire Nightingale trust would go to her.
Yeah, let's go.

- She killed Topher. - (BANG!)
Ah! Agh! Ah!
Drop the gun. Now.
Please! Help me! Help me!
I didn't do this. I swear.
Hey, let me see. Let me see.
First she killed Topher, and she shot me!
I didn't shoot her! She's lying!
She's setting me up!
Wait, what happened, Carlie?
She brought me here,
said there wasn't enough money
- to go around. - She's lying.
You're my sister. You're the one who killed Fin.
Get in the trunk, now.
Go!
Why did you do this? Are you trying to set up Carlie?
She shot me!
Why are you doing this?
Because for once, I'm taking what I'm owed.
No. You shot yourself. She shot herself!
No, I didn't, it was her! She killed our father!
No, this is over. You killed Fin, didn't you?
No, wait! Wait! Please. Please.
You have to understand.
Just, let me... (panting).
OK.
OK. I didn't plan any of this.
I didn't need him to want me.
Fin?
He just had to give me the cash and I would've shut up.
OK? Nobody needed to know that he had a daughter.
Nobody. I could've just walked away
but he treated me like I was nothing.
So you set up Carlie?
Well, I saw her on the news and I thought that...
Finally the world had given me a break.
A way out.
I knew what I had to do, I didn't have a choice.
There's always a choice. I'm going to call this in.
No. Not with me.
(Toby): Dev, I need you to send an ambulance to the Nightingale residence.
I guess I should've known.
People like me, we don't have happy endings.
Hey. I'm your sister.
Your family. I could've helped you.
(Toby): Alright, thanks man.
I guess we'll never know now, will we?
(Whimpering)
You're under arrest for the murder of
Fin and Topher Nightingale.
It's my duty to inform you
that you have the right to retain and instruct
counsel of your choice in private and without delay.

Where you been?
Oh, oh...
New story. Following a lead, it turned out to be...
- Tia? - Dead end.
Transparent?
Looking into my mother only leads to dead ends.
I know but... how can somebody just disappear into thin air like that?
I mean, I've followed every lead, I've called any...
Look, when I told you not to look into it, I mean it.
- I know, but Toby... - The last time
she was in my life, people got hurt, Tia.
Toby, I'm not afraid.
And I'm not a case. I'm not a story,
don't be a reporter.
I don't want to lose you.
OK... I didn't...
I know.
I didn't want to open up something that would hurt you...
You have to believe that I'm comfortable with my past.
I made peace with it.
I'm interested in you and the future we have together.
Case closed?
(Exhaling) honestly, I'm afraid the trail's too
- cold even for my skills. - Good.
I ordered Indian. You hungry?
I would love that.
Good.

- Hello? - Hi.
Can I speak to Tia Tremblay?
This is she.
Yeah, I'm returning your call.
You want to know about your friend's mother, Maya.
I remember her.
I might be able to tell you some things about her.
