If you're quiet, you can hear the horses sleeping.
I cannot.
It sounds like nothing to me.
Dad?
What are you watching?
Oh, nothing, Shawn.
It's your mom's stupid soap opera. She left it on.
I wasn't watching at all.
I was taking a nap, actually.
Do you sleep with your eyes wide open?
Okay, Shawn, yes, maybe I was half watching.
Not because I like it, but because it's educational.
Pay close attention, you might learn a little something too.
I had a vasectomy two years ago.
That Logan is probably cheating on Skye?
No, Shawn, I'm talking about sharpening your skills.
Look, watch her closely.
Tell me what you see.
She'S... looking into the light.
Bingo.
Looking directly into the lights makes her eyes tear up, she cries.
Seen perhaps do it all the time in the interrogation room.
So acting's really just a lie?
Of course, Shawn. What, you think those goofballs on chips are really cops?
Wow, anything else you wanna ruin for me?
I don't think we're allowed to be on one of these things, Shawn.
If they didn't want us to drive it, why did they leave the keys under the seat?
This is not how I wanna be spending my saturday morning.
Dude, Lassie called, man. He called us.
Us, the team!
Besides, this is a real, live television studio, Gus. What could be better?
Eating my breakfast.
I was having a poached egg with hollandaise sauceon an english muffin.
Look, we'll solve it up quick.
You'll be back home in no time. Hello?
Dame Judi Dench called.
She wants her breakfast back.
Did you just do the something called and wants its something back bit?
Look around, Gus. These are my people.
- Who are your people? - These people.
Artists, thinkers, dreamers, guys dressed as toast.
Now, if I were a crime scene, where would I be?
Here I am.
Hey, I know this place.
This is Corrine's living room.
Who the hell is Corrine?
It's the living room from explosion gigantesca de romance.
What are you saying?
It's a spanish soap opera, Shawn.
How do you know that? Who are you?
What happened to my best friend?
Oh, my gosh! And Lassiter is talking to Jorge Gama-Lobo.
He plays Vicente on the show.
He's my favorite.
He slept with Mariana at his own mother's funeral, Shawn.
What the...
it's on in every doctor's office I visit.
I had no choice but to get sucked in.
You had a choice.
You still have a choice.
Who's the dead guy?
That's Rinaldo Nuñez.
He played Ernesto on the show.
He used to be married to Corrine.
I'm sorry, dude.
I can't believe you actually watch this show.
It's in Spanish.
Everyone in Santa Barbara is watching it, Shawn.
The telenovela is a craze.
Okay, whatever this case is, I want in on it.
And I don't care how you do it.
Spencer, thank god you're here.
Now go home.
We don't need you. O'hara jumped the gun.
This thing's pretty much open and shut.
Oh, Jules.
If you want to spend more time with me, you don't have to trump up some case.
You just pick up the phone, give me a call,
say "Shawn, I'm here, I've got pudding pops."
I'll keep that in mind.
Fact is, we have tape of mr. Gama-Lobo here actually stabbing the victim on camera.
will someone listen to me, please!
For the last time, I had no idea the collapsible prop knife had been replaced with the real one.
I believe him.
He's your favorite actor? Really?
That felt a little forced to me.
Spencer, why are you still here? I told you to run along.
Hurry up, ask a question that proves there's more here than meets the eye.
I have a question!
Are those delicious looking sandwiches for everybody?
Yes, for everyone working on the stage here.
Thank you.
That's it? That's your question?
Follow up question!
Do you have salami?
Not by itself, no.
But as part of another sandwich with other italian meats.
That's interesting.
I like that very much.
All right, everybody, let's bag and wrap this up.
Sir, you're gonna need to come with us for some more questions.
Help me, please.
Whoever you are.
Unbelievable, Shawn.
I ask for one case.
One case, and you couldn't get us in on it.
Dude, I'm sorry. There's no case here.
Lassie's actually right.
Your boy stabbed some dude on camera in front of everybody, look.
what?
- There's no tells. - What?
Look at the moment when the knife goes into Nuñez.
it looks like it hurts.
yeah, but look there, Gama-Lobo's face.
He doesn't look angry, he looks frightened.
More importantly, he looks surprised.
That is not the face of a premeditated killer.
So what does that mean?
- I think it means we have a case. - Yes!
A big fat double-stuffed chalupa of a case with guacamole.
Yes!
That's too hard!
www.ydy.com/bbs= proudly presents
=www.ydy.com/bbs=
I hate you, Ernesto! Die!
Come on, dude! I'm stabbing you in the heart!
Give me something to work with here!
Okay, look, that's a very interesting theory, mr. Spencer, but the tape is pretty damning evidence.
Chief, all due respect, he'd have to be the worst criminal of all time.
Or the smartest.
Of course he's gonna claim that he didn't know the knife was switched.
aren't we getting ahead of ourselves?
- Mr. Gama-Lobo isn't under arrest. - Yet.
The producers have just temporarily suspended him from the show.
They pulled him off the show?
Temporarily.
Until more progress is made in the investigation.
But you can't do that.
He's right in the middle of an important love triangle with Corrine.
And we haven't even found out whether Serena's baby is his or not.
What I meant to say was, the man is an actor on a television program.
It is his job, his lively hood.
You can't just take away a man's means to sustain himself.
To put food on the table.
I need to know if that baby's his.
I have just one question.
If this is about food, I'm telling you right now, I will not be a happy man.
How do you explain the hair on the knife?
The what?
I am sensing there was a long hair in the evidence bag.
A woman's hair.
Perhaps belonging to a Ted Nugent impersonator.
But one thing is certain.
It didn't come from the head of mr. Gama-Lobo.
Um, was there a hair in the bag?
Actually, there was.
We haven't run it through the lab yet.
Why not?
Use, chief, we feel the most damning piece of evidence that tape.
I mean, the hair could have come from anywhere.
The evidence guy who bagged it.
Officer henze is bald, detective.
I am sensing...
that the owner of that hair is our killer.
Chief, you give us one day... one day!
And you have our word, we'll make sure this blatant departmental screw-up
doesn't bring down the entire Santa Barbara police world...
universe... galaxy.
One day.
But the best news is, now that we're officially on the case, we have craft service privileges.
Which means all the gummy bearsand poppycock we can jam in our bellies.
But we only have one day to eat them.
Let's get to work, Shawn.
That's lance rothstein. Let's start with him.
He's the head writer on the show.
I saw his picture once in soap diary magazine.
Head writer, huh?
He's not even Spanish.
No, he was a hollywood guy.
Used to write on blossom.
Decided spanish soap operas were a better reflection of the human condition.
Obviously he didn't write the blossom where she adopted a chimpand hit the road in an 18-wheeler.
That was BJ and the bear, Shawn.
You tell them that line is cut.
Don't listen to them, they're actors.
Floyd Rothstein. Lance Rothstein.
You have a moment? We're big fans.
No,I don't have a moment. I don't mean to be rude.
You have a headshot, just drop it off in the casting department right off the lobby.
No, sir. We're not actors.
You're not?
Furthest thing from it. I'm a psychic.
I don't really—not interested in getting my fortune told, mr. Uh...
spencer. Shawn Spencer.
This is my partner, Lavender Gooms.
We're here with the police investigating the Nuñez case.
Mr. Rothstein, I'm Burton Guster.
We were here yesterday at the crime scene,
and we know that Jorge Gama-Lobo was not responsible for the death of Rinaldo Nuñez.
- He wasn't? - No.
Shocking! I know that.
And I don't work with crystal balls.
make a note. I just let that go.
It would have been way too easy.
Yeah, look, while we're talking here, a murderer is wandering around loose on my set.
Which is not comforting for someone with my weak constitution.
I already have hereditary anginaand shin splints.
Listen, are you sure that you are not an actor?
Because you really do have a certain look.
What, a shallow look?
No, I have to go.
Whoa, whoa, I still have some more questions.
Look, if I do not shoot this scene...
right now, then later in the week, we're gonna be doing this show live.
Why don't you find melater on the set, all right?
Okay, but what would really be helpful right now is
if you just gave us mr. Gama-Lobo's home address so that we could go there and interview him.
That is not necessary.
The man has been doing this show for eight years.
His wife left him. This is his home address.
I'm sensing a hair in the evidence baggie.
Man, it just irks me!
I still think we should bring in some of the other cast members for questioning.
Here's the thing, O'hara.
It's not that complicated.
Motivation, opportunity, execution.
With Nuñez out of the picture, Jorge's Role on the showgets larger.
Motivation.
Knowing in advance that it's scripted that he would stab Nuñez presents opportunity.
The fact that he was unmistakably caught on film actually stabbing the victim, hello, execution.
Soon as we get those lab results back, we'll be done—thank you.
Who's that?
Pascoretti, Penny. A newbie.
Just transferred in from the 302 out of Oakland.
Huh, it's about time.
We could use some new blood.
I hate new blood.
Of course you do.
I welcome it.
Especially new female blood.
It gets lonely here in this sea of testosterone.
Well, you go right ahead, knock yourself out.
Make a new friend.
Maybe you could have a little tea party.
Braid each other's hair, for all I care.
Hello, I'm detective O'hara, but you can call me Juliet.
Anyway, I just wanted to introduce myself, and welcome you here,
and let you know if you need any help with anything, don't hesitate to ask.
Does it look like I don't know how to write my own name and badge number?
Bff's?
Best friends forever?
Shut up, Lassiter.
mr. Gama-Lobo...
we just have a few questions for you.
Call me Jorge, please.
Jorge?
Come on, that's a little silly.
That's your name. That's cool.
we know you didn't do it.
You do?
We think you were framed.
This is music to my earlobes.
Do you have questions for me?
yes, we do.
Do you know if Serena's baby is yours?
What?
- Serena's baby. - Gus.
I'm sorry.
Are those meatballs from craft service?
Yes, yes, Kelly knows they are my favorite.
Usually I hunger for her meatballs the way a jackal salivates for an injured possum...
but sadly,I have no appetite for them now.
- Grab the one that doesn'thave a fork in it. - Shawn.
They're still steaming. The little—whoa!
Who's this over here?
That is my family.
Yes, they are all back in Mexico.
I left them to do the show.
Your brother.
It's my sister.
No, he means this person right here.
Yes, yes. It's my sister.
No, he means this one. Right here.
Where my finger is.
Yes, yes. It's my sister.
She is quite lovely.
In a young... Keith Hernandez...
sort of... you must miss them very much.
Yes
I sense violence.
An altercation.
Here, in this room.
Someone had something against you. Here!
Yes. Yes, Quintessa.
Quintessa Gabrielle.
She plays Corrineon the show.
She is gorgeous.
You don't know her wrath.
She hates me.
She's like the latina Susan Lucci.
She beat me up.
I hardly think there's a woman capable of that.
Bea Arthur.
I stand corrected.
'Scuse us.
Would you please just come out and talk to me?
go away!
I promise you, I swear to you, I will change the line.
I was misinformed.
There's gotta be another spanish word for nipple. Just tell me what it is.
Hi, how you doing?
I'm just going to the writers' room where it's emotional lydamaging, but it's physically safe.
Let's go after her.
Whoa, whoa, maybe now isn't the best time to approach her.
You're right. We only have a day to solve the case.
We should wait and hang out.
I'll do the heavy liftingand charm her, you grab a piece of her hair.
Grab a piece of her hair, why?
So we can compare itto the one on the murder weapon.
How am I gonna grab a piece of her hair, shawn?
I don't know what else I can tell you.
I told the policeman everything I know.
Policeman?
Yes, the tall scurvy-like one with no rhythm.
Detective Lassiter?
Yes, that was his name.
Were you and Rinaldo Nuñez... close?
Well, we were working together, but...
but no, I didn't know him very well at all.
- I'm a professional. - I see.
Was he ever in your dressing room?
I should say not!
That's strange.
I'm seeing him in your dressing room.
Are you a psychicor some kind of witch?
Okay...
so maybe sometimes he came to my dressing room to rehearse lines or something.
No, he's not running lines.
He's holding a feather duster, dipping himself in pancake batter.
And he's quite naked.
Okay, so she's definitely boinking Nunez.
Does that make her a suspect?
Well, she did lie about it.
Why?
Well, he does wear bikini briefs.
Sweet.
Dude.
- This isn't a hair. - What?
It's justpart of her scrunchie. Look!
It's all elastic-Y. It's got a pieceof bedazzle in it.
It's made out of yarn. Good work, buddy.
Forget it, I'll figure out how to pluck one myself.
I think we should split up.
You hit the props department, see what you can find outabout our weapon.
I'm gonna pop into the stage and grill lance about the Quintessa/Jorge relationship.
Jorge.
Camera two, push in.
Hold it there. Go.
So this is where all the magic happens, huh?
Yes, smell the dream.
Can I ask youa question? I think...
I'm sorry. I'm just gonna watch.
What the hell is he doing?
What, does he got a twitch or something?
I'm afraid that's called his acting.
He's only got a couple of lines.
it's always the bit players.
is he flirting with her?
That was the idea.
He should be more subtle than that, man.
Like, you don't seduce a woman with your forehead and your Adam's apple.
It's right here. It's always been here.
It doesn't start there, you know?
I mean, you're over here and then...
how would you do the line?
Do... do what?
You know.
No,I can't—whoa, I just...
well, that's the thing.
Jorge would never have known that the knife was real.
The blades are virtually identical, actually.
We build the propas close to the specs of your averagesix-inch blade as we can.
I mean, we do that, obviously, for the look of the knife.
But also, it gives, like, a realistic feel for the actor.
You know, the size, the weight.
The texture, so on.
Here, you wanna hold it? Go on, hold it.
Huh, it feels real.
But it's not.
That's the fake one. See?
The blade retracts. Collapsesright into the handle.
Hey, you wanna try it?
- Oh, no, I couldn't. - Come on, stab me.
- No, really, I shouldn'T. - Come on! Go ahead.
Hey, it's fun, trust me.
All right.
Just messing with you.
Um, do you mind if I borrow this to show my partner?
It's for the investigation.
Okay, shawn, this is what I found out so far.
Turns out the knife may have changed hands up to six times before Nunez was stabbed with it.
The day is almost upand we've gotten nowhere.
It could be anyone on this set.
We need more access and more time.
I think I've figured out a pretty good angle for that, buddy.
I just need you to step aside for one second.
Maybe hit the craft service table.
Grab us a couple of those potato latkes.
I can't figure out how Kelly makes them so crispy.
I'm not stepping anywhere, Shawn.
Am I the only one doing any work here on this case?
I'd love to go to work.
I'm ready, I feel it. I just—I can't.
Really? And why is that?
- You're standing right in my eye line, buddy. - What?
quiet on the set!
Four,three, two...
and action.
Thanks for coming into speak with us, ms. Desmondo.
You're welcome.
I'm gonna get right to it.
Can you recall any instances in which you witnessed Jorge Gama-Lobo engaging in violent behavior?
- Yes. - Yes?
Yes.
Please tell us.
It was seven years ago, when he pushed Diego Cabrera off a bridge in broad daylight.
Wait, that happened in this state?
- When was he charged? - He wasn'T.
He beat the rap.
But there was an eyewitness.
His thought-to-be-missing stepbrother, Juan Sandoval.
Sandoval, that sounds familiar.
Mcnab! Get in here!
I need you to run all information on a Juan Sandoval.
Juan Sandoval?
Wasn't heyour common law husband?
Wait... he was your husband?
Common law.
But you murdered him by freezing his body and then shipping it to Hawaii, and defrosting it by a volcano.
exactly.
That was fifth season, episode eleven.
I'm a fan.
Are you two talking about the show?
I'm talking about a real murder.
I actually saw that episode.
But he came backin season six, right?
As the chief surgeon, so that he could change Velma's face to look like your face
so that you could take the Rapfor Beatrice's murder!
It's the only episode I saw.
Who writes this crap?
The writers are all so colorfuland brilliant.
They're wonderful with the brutal crimes.
They are some kind of geniuses,I swear.
Some kind of murder geniuses maybe.
I have a package for you...
special delivery
It says...
'handle with care'
He's really got something, am I right?
Yes, he's my muse.
Cut.
Easy!
That's what happens when you hire people off the street.
She's sweet.
Sweet like Mariah Carey on a bender.
- How'd that look? - Okay.
Don't take this the wrong way, but I think it lacked some passion.
- Passion. - Yes.
Do you have any idea how many pages we shot today?
And I'm getting by with the spanish I learned from charoon love boat.
Plus I gotta make it look passionate?
And look for clues?
Don't get me wrong.
I'm pulling it off quite nicely.
I got a hair off Quintessa's head.
- Because our dressing rooms, side by side. - Nice.
How many times do you two need to be told you are not needed on this case?
You are wasting the department's resources.
Hey, pal!
Please escort these two off the premises.
Well, uh...
uh is not an action word.
Now drop the joe and take them out of here.
Well, actually, this coffee's for mr. Spencer.
Thank you, Roger.
Mr. Spencer?
- Well, uh, Chad, I guess. - What?
Here, these pineapple peking dumplings are special for you, Chad.
Thank you, Kelly, you sweet little thing.
No. No.
No. No, no, no, no.
I'm going to have to ask you to leave the stage area.
We're about to roll.
You don't wanna touch me.
Roger, it's okay.
Before you go...
you might want to send this down to your boys at the lab.
It's a hair off Quintessa Gabrielle's head.
The same color and leng thaT the one found on the murder weapon.
I think you'll find it's a sweet, sweet match.
Oh, yes. I'll get right on that.
Why would you do that?
The hair from the knife was synthetic. It came from a wig.
Quintessa Gabrielle's hairis real.
So there's no match.
But nice work. Chad.
What kind of show do you think we're doing?
Gotta keep it grounded, you gotta keep it real.
Wanna go back to being an intern?
Lance Rothstein!
Excuse me, I am doing something here. Not nothing.
She's already making love to her nephew. She can't also be a nun.
Yes, can I help you? Very quickly.
I have a warrant to search these premises, confiscate all scriptsand written material.
On what grounds?
On the grounds you've all been very busy thinking up in genious ways to kill people.
all that, plus the latest in local sports with dan the man, coming up at 11:00 P.M.
The package is for you, Mrs...
Lourdes
It's Ms, Please
- What the hell? - Well, in that case...
sign here
Wait, Jorge Gama-Lobo tried to kill himself?
Tried and failed.
Must have been so wracked with guilt over stabbing Nunez, he decided to off himself.
Did he leave a note?
Oh, yeah. Admitting to the murder.
It's already with the boysdown at the lab.
I just wanted to get in there, get a verbal confession.
You've got to be kidding me.
Step away from the bed now!
Don't you shush me!
I was about to say there's still time for you to go downstairs to the gift shop and buy something.
Maybe a teddy bear.
Oh, that's nice.
Teddy bears are cute.
They have onewith a jar of honey that says, "bee well."
I mean it, this time I will arrest you for interfering in police business.
I'm gonna have to ask you two to leave.
This man is very sick, and I need quiet in here.
Us?
Excuse me,I'm detective O'hara and this is detective Lassiter.
And we're investigating this man.
And I demand you remove these men from this room.
Honey, the only people actually authorized to be in here are mr. Spencer and mr. Guster.
They're on mr. Gama-Lobo's friends and family list.
Everyone else... out.
You just met him a week ago.
His whole family is back in Mexico.
His older brother misses him very much.
- His sister. - Right.
How does he make friends so fast?
I get that Jorge was depressed about being off the show, but murder/suicide/coma?
This whole thing is starting to feel like a real soap operato me.
I can't believe he would take his own life.
Unless he was wearing a wig...
he didn't.
Someone else did.
What?
I don't get it.
Really?
I thought I wrapped it up so nicely for you just now.
It felt really good. It was organic.
Synthetic hair.
Just like the one found on the knife.
So?
Dude.
It means the same person was there...
when Jorge tried "to kill himself."
He wasn't alone.
So wait...
you're saying he didn't try to kill himself?
I can't do this.
You're not being clear, Shawn.
come on, dude.
I gave it to you three different ways.
did he or did he not try to kill himself?
Is that the Gama-Lobo suicide note?
Yes, but I'm still waiting on the handwriting samples from the lab.
Nah, forget that. Just read it to me.
Okay, "dear world, I ask for forgiveness "for the sins I have committed against humanity.
"It was my hands...
that carried out a heinous murder."
Wait a minute.
Hold on a second.
I know that.
You know that?
I have been literally poring over these things for days.
Hold on a second.
Okay, continue.
"How can I go back and reverse time?
"I have no choice but to say good-bye "
to a world I turned my back on and the woman I betrayed."
- Wow, it's from a script? - Word for word.
Written by Lance Rothstein.
So Lance set him up.
What, did he just get lazy? Did he think no one would remember?
He's gonna have plenty of time to figure out new plot lines behind bars.
So this is what it feels like to be in jail.
I always wondered if I'd survive.
I was in jail once.
Really—this is what it was like for you too?
Yeah. Yeah, pretty much.
You know, I mean, these phones aren't real.
No, course not. I mean, you know, it would be too expensive.
But I mean for Ernesto's prison scene tomorrow, it's great, right?
Oh, yeah. Yeah.
Lance Rothstein, you're under arrest.
For what?
The murderof Rinaldo Nunez.
Don't worry, I can get you off on that one.
And the attempted murder of Jorge Gama-Lobo.
Ooh, I don't know about that one.
Don't get up. I'm not staying.
We just had a huge breakin that murder case I was working on.
So now the paperwork.
I just wanted to stop by and...
give you this.
What is that?
A cupcake.
I can see that.
But why are you giving it to me?
I noticed that you were eating one with your lunch the other day, so I stopped and bought you one.
Same kind, red velvet.
You, um—you noticed what I was eating.
Well, yeah, I'm a detective.
- I notice details. - Really?
What else did you notice about me?
Well, I notice that you eat by yourself every day.
I notice that you hesitate to make eye contact with people.
And,well, you can...
be a little abrasive.
But, you know, that's probably just because it's hard to adapt.
You know, lots of politics.
It's hard to understand where everyone's coming from.
Don't worry.
I think I'm getting a pretty good idea.
Good.
I'm glad.
Dad! You're here!
I am.
You have to try this sandwich.
- Kelly from craft service makes them for me. - I already ate lunch, Shawn.
Why am I here?
This isn't lunch.
This is Turkey... with stuffing and cranberry.
It's like thanksgiving between two slices of bread.
This whole place is like leaving las Vegas with food.
Shawn, why'd you ask me here?
I thought you'd enjoy it.
You said you never had the opportunity to visit me when I was working a real job, and now I have a real job!
Shawn, this is not a real job.
Sure it is.
Oh no, I think I got make-upon this t-shirt.
Has anyone seen Ivan?
Acting is not a real job, shawn.
I mean, how much attention do you need?
I'm not doing this for the attention.
I happen to be solving a case.
A murder. This is serious business.
I've got a guy sitting in jail.
Lassiter's got some evidence against him, but I know he didn't do it.
It doesn't make any sense. He's a writer. He's got no motive.
Well, motive is everything. No motive, no conviction.
How do you have fans?
This is asi nine. You started on the show five days ago.
Look, I have something.
Did you ever think that maybe this is embarrassing for me?
Embarrassing for you?
First off, your accent is terrible.
It's disgraceful, really.
You sound like that el pollo loco guy.
And then, there you go, turning your back on Rinaldo,
even after he defended you when you were accused of Maria's kidnapping—come on.
First of all, I am trying to sound like the el pollo loco guy.
And secondly, Rinaldo turned his back on me when he slept with Maria in the first place.
Oh, come on, he would have given you half the reward money!
Where's your integrity?
It makes you look like such a bad person.
I'm Shawn.
Those are thingsthat my character Chad did.
I play him on tv.
It's Shawn. Shawny.
Look into your boy's eyes.
It's me, papa.
Don't be an idiot. I'm not one of your fans.
I barely even like you.
That's it.
If my own father can blur the lines between the show and reality, why couldn't someone else?
We've been looking in the wrong place.
It's fans.
Okay, so you've narrow edit down to 150 suspects.
Good work, Shawn.
I want your baby!
I don't have any female fans?
Listen, Lance.
Lassiter doesn't have enough to make this arrest stick.
He's just hoping that a couple nights in jail will get you to confess.
A couple nights? No, no, no, no.
Here's the thing.
I actually like it in here.
This is fuel for the show. It's fuel for me.
I always felt there was something holding me back as a writer.
I grew up in Beverly Hills. And I always felt that I lacked any...
real life experience.
Shawn, this is so good for me.
It's like Hemingway, like Ellroy, Steinbeck. Danielle steel.
Ethan Hawke.
Judy Blume.
Exactly.
I can wallow in the harsh under belly of prison life.
And shake it up a little bit with the riff-raff.
Uh, the riff-raff?
This is the Santa Barbara jail.
Not san Quentin.
It was written up in Fodor's last year as a nice spa alternative.
We need to get you out of here so you can write the show.
Everyone needs you.
No, no, no, I can write in here.
I can scratch it outwith a broken piece of lead in the dark.
And then I can...
bury myself in the one non-down pillow they issued meand I can cry myself to sleep.
Look, we need to talk about Corrine.
- Corrine? - Corrine.
Oh, Corrine.
Yes, it came to mein a vision.
The murderer is doing this to protect her.
Think about it.
First, Ernesto cheated on her.
And was stabbed and killed.
Then you wrote that Vincente betrayed her and went missing. Someone...
took it into their own hands and tried to kill him.
Well, not Vincente, but Jorge.
That's my point.
They can't tell the difference.
It's a fan.
That's interesting.
I'm not disagreeing, but what's act two?
I mean, let's say it is just one fan. How you gonna find one fan among thousands?
Easy. That's where you come in.
You just write mea storyline where I put Corrine's life in jeopardy.
Then we won't have to go looking for the murderer.
The murderer will come looking for me.
Ow! Again?
Why?
You wanted to see me, chief?
Is there a problem?
Did the Rothstein arrest not stick?
This isn't about the Nunez case.
This is about the new transfer, Penny Pascoretti.
Wanted to hear your side.
My side?
My side of what?
Well,I don't know a delicate way to put this.
Ms. Pascoretti has filed an interdepartmental harassment charge against you.
What? That's outrageous!
Is there any truth to this claim?
I was just being nice.
Reaching out. I bought her a cupcake.
- Sue me. - She is.
What do you mean you bought her a cupcake?
With this piece of information, you're lucky the charge didn't include a stalking claim.
I was just trying to make a friend.
I'm going to give you a piece of advice. And take it.
As a woman in this department, you have to be very carefulhow you go about forming friendships.
Women in the line of police work are more cautious by nature and necessity, and slow to trust.
Well, if that's the case,I guess no woman has a friend in the department.
That's right.
Oh,'cause I kind of thought we were friends.
Well, you were wrong.
I'll talk to ms. Pascoretti and see what I can do to mitigate these charges.
But in the meantime, stop buying pastries.
You're excused.
Nice blouse.
Thanks.
I got it at nordstrom, it was on the sale rack.
- I probably shouldn't- - I don't care.
- But you asked— enough, O'hara. Goodbye.
we have a problem.
The show's fallen behind.
And the network says the only way we can stay on schedule is if we do the show on friday, live.
Which means we need a script tonight!
Is that possible?
Are you kidding me?
I've never been more inspired in my life.
Sweet! Here's the catch.
Now that you've had mech eat on Corrine,
I need you to put out new pages, with a new murder weapon, and a scene where Corrine comes after me.
That's a terrible pitch. Why would I do that?
Because, Lance, the murderer's going to try and finish the job.
Whoever it is has access to the scripts
and will be paying very close attention to the murder weapon
and will likely tamper with it tomorrow.
But I'll be there to catch them.
All right, Spencer, I trust you're confident this elaborate charade is going to be fruitful for the case?
Confidence is not my problem.
Dry lips, however...
Pearl, make it nice for the kissers.
Mr. Spencer, we're ready for you on set.
We're moments away from going live.
Okay, so what's our plan?
Well, Lance wrote this long monologue for Corrine after my exit.
That gives me plenty of time to make my costume change, so I'll meet you back stage then.
- Keep your eyes peeled for anything suspicious. - Got it.
We're seconds away from live! Places, everybody, places!
In four... three... two...
and... go!
Wow!
Darling, you looking lovely...
but we should get going...
if we are going to make it...
to Serena's charity ball.
Tell me, Chad
Do I look fat in this ball gown?
You look like a...
sweet nectarine...
wrapped in taffeta.
I didn't write that.
Improvisation.
- I like it. - Yes.
Well,I need you to be a dear...
and after you get your suit on...
will you grab...
my nail gun?
What?
You're taking a nail gun...
to Serena's charity ball?
No, silly
The shelf has been loose...
for a while now...
and I need to fix it.
But now my little rabbit?
Yes
Be a love...
and look for it in the garage.
Okey
Oh, this can't be good.
Dude, did anyone come near the prop table?
What prop table?
I've been glued to the tv, watching for anything suspicious to happen, like you said.
Dude, you're just standing there eating a meatball, watching the show.
You're supposed to be watching the prop table!
You never said anything about a prop table, Shawn.
If you would a said watch the prop table, I would have been watching the prop table.
Whoever tampered with that nail gun is our killer, Gus.
We're talking about my life here!
I know, Shawn. This woman is crazy.
She's gonna kill you.
Look, forget it, okay? Just forget it.
I'll check the nail gun myself.
Do me a favor, and save me one of those meatballs, yeah?
Let's go. You gotta get out there.
This is no time for pranks, Roger.
There's still half a scene before I make my entrance.
Not anymore. She's all over the place.
She just skipped ahead three pages. You're on!
Gus?
Be strong, shawn.
he will be dead
Oh! There you are, my dear
Here, hand me the nail gun
Okay... here you go.
But do not point this at me, because es mucho dangerioso.
I know that, my darling
you say that you know, but seriously.
Be very carefulio.
You could morte me with this thing because it is realioas it gets!
I love the improv. The passion.
Not an improv!
Of course it's real...
as real as you cheating on me...
with my sister Serena...
and getting her pregnant
Shawn is the father of Serena's baby!
Please put that down, woman, it's loaded with real nails!
And it's you...
that killed Vincente.
Shawn, watch out! Watch out!
No!
You are wrong!
I am not a murderer-o!
But I know who is-O.
Yes... your twin sister.
I don't have a twin sister
Yes, what I mean is, it's someone who wants to beyour twin sister.
Someone who wants to be you!
I definitely did not write this.
Okay,I don't get it.
No, it's like, eh...
Beautiful girls...
drinking...
beer on the beach...
- My god, he's improvising. - ... with...
homicide...
I... can't do this!
Uh, you make a translation for me, yeah?
Ah, high school spanish comes back to haunt him.
She did it!
Pan over. Pan over!
After all that, you just point at the murderer?
Don't you have any sense of dramatic tension or build?
Come on, what are we, on blossom?
No! You start by saying she was your biggest fan.
You know, that she practically worships you. She read all the scripts.
I got this, I got this— you! Yes,y ou!
You hated it whenever Corinne was put into Jeopardy.
So you took it upon yourself to avenge her.
I had to.
She cares too much.
Her heart is too big for her chest.
When Ernesto cheated on her, she was too weak to stand upfor herself.
I needed to help her.
She was like my best friend.
I barely spoke to her.
Really?
So it was you who replaced the retractable prop knife with the real one!
And he deserved it.
And it was also you who poisoned poor Vincente after it was written that he betrayed Corinne.
But how?
With a meatball.
usually I hunger for her meatballs the way a jackal salivates for an injured possum.
But he wrote a suicide note.
No, he didn't.
You should have a degree in being wrong all the time.
And she almost got away with it!
If it was not for the hairs.
- The hairs? - Yes, the hairs.
From the cheap imitation wig that you put onto emulate Corinne when you committed these murders!
Yes, I did it!
And now it's your turn to die.
Say what?
For sleeping with Serena when all Corinne did was love you.
She's right about that.
Easy, you psycho! Put it down. Let go!
Hello
My name is...
Inspector Carlton Lassiter.
I like cheese
Really? That's what you choose to say?
I only took it for two years in junior high. Watch out.
It had to be done
I will miss him
But you tried to kill him
Yes. But...
I'll love him the rest of my life
