00:02 You're really gonna make me say it?
00:03 Oh yeah
00:03 Fine, I need you Max
00:05 Do you have it? Maybe I can get forensics to lift a print off of it
00:07 You guys have so many rules
00:09 We're in this together, but here's the difference
00:11 You'll do whatever is needed to get what you want
00:13 He has to play by the rules
00:14 I just need to get through this
00:16 Get my desk job back
00:17 And then she's gone, out of my life, forever
00:20 Yeah, I don't understand
00:27 Oh, it's really not that hard to understand
00:29 Well, it doesn't make any sense, therefore I don't understand
00:32 Whoa, Scrappy, Scrappy, what's going on?
00:34 We were in the car, I was thirsty, okay?
00:36 And he wouldn't give me a sip of his water
00:38 Why not, Alice?
00:39 Yeah, why not?
00:40 Because then you get your lip gloss on and I don't want to drink from it, it's gross
00:43 Does it matter?
00:44 My lip gloss?
00:46 What's going on?
00:47 Their honeymoon phase is officially over
00:49 We never had a honeymoon
00:50 What honeymoon phase?
00:51 They got the seven year itch, except they did it in seven weeks
00:53 You never listen to me
00:54 You never think things through
00:55 You two are spending too much time together
00:57 We take regular breaks from each other or else we go crazy
00:59 We go crazy
01:00 You two need a break
01:02 Yes, that would be great
01:03 Too bad, you're out
01:05 Dr. Sophie is dead?
01:11 Who's Dr. Sophie?
01:12 Dr. Sophie Fernwood
01:16 She's written three self-help bestsellers, has a hit podcast, and an upcoming TV special
01:21 According to her website, Dr. S has helped millions of people find grounded in long-lasting happiness through the lens of gratitude and emotional authenticity
01:29 What a load of malarkey
01:31 You're not into therapy, I take it?
01:33 Therapists are the lowest of low on the con artist ladder
01:36 They're not con artists, Max, they're doctors
01:38 They burrow into your mind and toy with your thoughts, all for the purpose of making a profit
01:43 That's a con artist
01:44 Yeah, they gotta make a living just like any other doctor, but their purpose is to help people
01:49 Have you ever had therapy?
01:51 Yeah
01:52 Did it help?
01:53 It's...
01:56 See, because you're not a teapot
01:57 A teapot?
01:58 According to Bruce Lee, in order to have a strong mind, it has to be like water, shapeless, formless
02:03 Put water into a teapot, it turns into a teapot
02:06 Therapists try to turn you into teapots
02:09 But you and me, my friend, we cannot be molded or manipulated
02:12 We are not teapots
02:17 I have no idea what you just said
02:19 You ever get tired of that?
02:27 Because I'll never get tired of that
02:29 So this is what therapy buys, huh?
02:31 It's what three bestsellers and a lot of gullible people buy
02:34 5.5 mil
02:37 That's my guess
02:39 Make that 6 mil
02:42 There's gotta be at least $500,000 in cash just in this pool
02:46 6.5 mil
02:47 I'm not gonna lie, I've never seen that much money in my life
02:50 I've never seen that much money in my life
02:52 I've never seen that much money in my life
02:54 I've never seen that much money in my life
02:56 I've never seen that much money in my life
02:58 I've never seen that much money in my life
03:00 I've never seen that much money in my life
03:02 I've never seen that much money in my life
03:04 I've never seen that much money in my life
03:06 I've never seen that much money in my life
03:08 I've never seen that much money in my life
03:10 I've never seen that much money in my life
03:12 I've never seen that much money in my life
03:14 I've never seen that much money in my life
03:16 I've never seen that much money in my life
03:18 I've never seen that much money in my life
03:20 I've never seen that much money in my life
03:22 I've never seen that much money in my life
03:24 I've never seen that much money in my life
03:26 I've never seen that much money in my life
03:28 I've never seen that much money in my life
03:30 I've never seen that much money in my life
03:32 I've never seen that much money in my life
03:34 I've never seen that much money in my life
03:36 I've never seen that much money in my life
03:38 I've never seen that much money in my life
03:40 I've never seen that much money in my life
03:42 Everyone's a little punchy today
03:44 Today was supposed to be my day off
03:46 But my colleague had a travel emergency
03:48 As always
03:50 No respect
03:52 I hear that
03:54 When did she die?
03:56 Last night, sometime between 8pm and midnight
03:58 Blunt force trauma to the temple
04:00 The blow caused an internal hemorrhage
04:02 She was dead when she hit the water
04:04 Any signs of a struggle? None that I can see
04:06 Forensics couldn't find a murder weapon
04:08 You got any ideas?
04:10 I saw a really sharp edge
04:12 Maybe something that the killer grabbed at the last moment
04:14 I'll let you know if I find anything
04:16 Okay, thanks
04:18 No sign of forced entry, no sign of a struggle
04:28 She had to have known the killer
04:30 We found a safe upstairs, totally untouched
04:32 Same with all of her loose jewelry
04:34 A lot of high-end stuff there
04:36 So it wasn't a robbery?
04:38 The question is
04:40 What was with all the cash in the pool?
04:42 Ma'am, you can't come in here
04:44 I need to get inside
04:46 This is an active crime scene
04:48 I know, I'm Daphne, Dr. Sophie's business manager
04:50 So you're her business manager and her emergency contact
04:52 She doesn't have any family or friends?
04:54 Her clients and fans are colleagues
04:56 We're her family
04:58 Why was it you needed to get in here?
05:00 I need her laptop, her latest book is on it
05:02 Dream Interpretation, it'll be huge
05:04 Any one of these people could steal it
05:06 When the laptop's found, it'll be taken to evidence
05:08 So I can assure you nothing's going to be stolen off of it
05:10 Out of curiosity, how much would a
05:12 leaked copy of one of those books go for?
05:14 She got a million dollar advance for it
05:16 Gotcha
05:18 Hey guys, we need to find that laptop
05:20 Stat!
05:22 Max
05:24 When was the last time you saw her?
05:26 A few days ago, at the Fernwood
05:28 The Fernwood?
05:30 It's the wellness center Sophie opened a couple of years ago
05:32 The physical embodiment of her life's work
05:34 The Fernwood has therapists who specialize in several types of treatments
05:36 She wanted to create a place where people could work on their issues through multiple disciplines
05:38 So multiple therapists tell you how messed up you are instead of just one?
05:40 What was her mood like last time you saw her?
05:42 Not great actually
05:44 She was anxious, distracted
05:46 Oh my god
05:48 Is everything alright?
05:50 All three of her books just shot to the top of the bestseller lists
05:52 Again
05:54 Now she's on the list of bestsellers
05:56 I'm so sorry
05:58 I'm so sorry
06:00 I'm so sorry
06:02 We're on the top of the bestseller lists
06:04 Again
06:06 Now you understand how important it is that book not be leaked
06:08 Sales will be off the charts
06:10 That sounded terrible, didn't it?
06:12 Yeah
06:14 I'm sorry
06:16 I still can't believe this is happening
06:18 Is there anything else?
06:20 I need to get back to the Fernwood
06:22 People started calling as soon as the news broke
06:24 We're holding a gathering so we can grieve together
06:26 A lot of people are going to feel very lost without her
06:28 Right
06:30 Last question
06:32 Where were you last night?
06:34 I was on a red-eye flight back from a publishing conference in London
06:36 I landed at 6 this morning
06:38 I still have the boarding pass on my phone
06:40 I'll take a look at that
06:42 Who's going to be at this gathering?
06:44 Friends, clients, co-workers
06:46 Here it is
06:48 Okay, you're free to go
06:56 Thank you
06:58 Show her out
07:00 So if everyone who's close to her is going to be there
07:04 Maybe the murderer will be there too
07:06 You know the most interesting thing about what she said is what she didn't say
07:08 I mean yeah, she's Dr. Sophie's emergency contact
07:10 But she never once spoke about their friendship
07:12 Did you notice that?
07:14 Lots of people who work together don't get along
07:16 Here, maybe we can learn something from The Lighthouse Inside
07:18 Did you steal that?
07:20 She had like 50 copies
07:22 I don't know
07:24 I'm not sure
07:26 She had like 50 copies
07:28 This isn't evidence
07:30 Okay, there was still sealed inside the box
07:32 Oh, this one's signed
07:34 This is probably worth something now
07:36 Why did you take that?
07:38 These people just lost their pied piper, which means they're vulnerable
07:40 Vulnerable people want to talk
07:42 So we just need to speak their language
07:44 For example
07:46 All of your life, you've been told that you're the storm
07:48 You are the hurricane
07:50 When in fact, you are The Lighthouse
07:54 What the hell is that supposed to mean?
07:56 It means that I am The Lighthouse
07:58 And you are the dark storm
08:00 Don't you ever read self-help books?
08:02 Do I look like I read self-help books?
08:04 So when you're going through it, who do you talk to?
08:06 Nobody, I guess
08:08 Well, there has to be someone
08:10 Mark
08:12 What?
08:14 You talk to Mark, don't you?
08:16 I do not talk to my cat
08:18 It makes so much sense now
08:20 You are the dark storm
08:22 Yeah, you know, now that I say it out loud
08:24 You sound kind of insane
08:26 Oh, me insane, yeah
08:28 This coming from the woman who thinks she's a lighthouse
08:30 Okay
08:32 So many feels going on here
08:44 Lots of people, too
08:46 Any idea who we should talk to?
08:48 I'd start with Joan
08:50 Our cognitive behavioral therapist
08:52 She knew Sophie the longest
08:54 I still can't believe she's gone
09:08 I know
09:10 I don't believe I've introduced myself
09:12 My name is Maxine
09:14 And this is my husband, Colton
09:16 Hi
09:18 Hi
09:20 Were you two close?
09:22 Very. We met in college
09:24 Then I was the first therapist
09:26 That she hired here
09:28 Any idea who could have done something like this?
09:30 No
09:32 Everybody loves Sophie
09:34 She was a light to so many
09:36 Oh my stars
09:38 Sorry, my wife's just really upset, you know
09:42 Wendell Collins?
09:44 Hi
09:46 Would you mind if I get your autograph?
09:48 Not the time, honey
09:50 I'm sure he doesn't mind
09:52 Sorry, who are you?
09:54 Wendell Collins, Anchorman, Channel 14 News
09:56 Sorry, I don't really watch a lot of television
09:58 Are you saying I watch too much TV?
10:00 Sorry to interrupt
10:02 Wendell, you're still okay to speak first?
10:04 Yes, I can do it. I'm Sophie
10:06 He could have been the killer
10:08 You're asking for autographs?
10:10 You're always so suspicious
10:12 Yeah, I'm a detective
10:14 I'm clearly a fan
10:16 Everyone
10:24 Hi
10:26 Thank you for coming
10:28 We lost someone who changed
10:30 All our lives
10:32 And the lives of millions around the world
10:34 A lot of you asked to say a few words
10:36 So let's start with one of Dr. Sophie's closest friends
10:38 Our own Wendell Collins
10:40 Wendell
10:42 Wendell
10:44 Hi
10:48 He's a lot better on TV
10:52 Um
10:58 I
11:00 Wendell
11:02 Everything you learned from Sophie
11:04 Is still inside you
11:06 Just
11:10 Speak your truth
11:12 I
11:18 I
11:20 Killed
11:22 I killed Dr. Sophie Fernwood
11:26 Maybe not such a fan
11:30 I killed Dr. Sophie Fernwood
11:38 I went over to her house, we argued
11:40 I hit her on the head, she fell into the pool
11:42 I killed her
11:44 And why did you kill Dr. Fernwood?
11:46 Maybe he needs a teleprompter
11:50 Okay, can you tell us how you killed Dr. Fernwood?
11:54 I went over to her house
11:56 We argued, I hit her, she fell into the pool
11:58 I killed her
12:00 Look, Mr. Collins, we understand that you confessed to the murder
12:02 But we're gonna need more details than that
12:06 I killed Dr. Sophie Fernwood
12:08 I went over to her house, we argued
12:10 And I hit her and she fell into the pool
12:12 I killed her
12:14 Yeah, I say it's drugs
12:18 These local news types, they get into some wild stuff
12:20 I've been to a couple industry parties
12:22 I got stories
12:24 Nobody's got time for your stories, Yates
12:26 Okay, speak for yourself
12:28 Tell me over drinks?
12:30 Maybe, I'll think about it
12:32 Okay, focus, you two
12:34 You're looking for Dr. Sophie or the other way around?
12:36 We saw the doc's house, she didn't need the money
12:38 Let's check Wendell's financials while we're checking hers
12:40 I bet you Hendy's faking it
12:42 He does the deed, confesses, fleeds crazy
12:44 And then he gets off
12:46 We've seen it before
12:48 But one thing we're missing is motive
12:50 Let's form one him
12:52 A couple days in the psych ward should help with whatever this is
12:54 In the meantime, let's go talk to the last person he was with
12:56 I don't know what's going on
13:02 He was fine yesterday
13:04 Nothing seem to be bothering him lately?
13:06 I'm his producer, we um
13:08 We talk work, we don't talk
13:10 That's what his therapist is for
13:12 Was for
13:14 Okay, but you did have dinner with him the night Dr. Sophie was killed
13:16 Dinner with Wendell is
13:18 Him eating a steak while I take notes
13:20 We left Loggington's around 8.30
13:22 But I'm pretty sure he went out for drinks after
13:24 And we tracked his credit card to a lounge in Westboro
13:26 Which is in the complete opposite direction of Dr. Sophie's house
13:28 What was he seeing Dr. S for?
13:30 This show's done for anyway
13:32 Wendell was seeing her for his anxiety
13:34 He started to trip up at the news desk
13:36 Before long he could barely talk in front of other people
13:38 Wow, with a voice as smooth as Tennessee whiskey
13:40 Popular newscaster Wendell Collins was afraid of public speaking?
13:42 Was there any indication that Dr. Sophie was threatening to expose Wendell's condition?
13:44 Maybe to his boss?
13:46 That would explain the money at the crime scene
13:48 Wendell's paying through his nose for two divorces
13:50 No way did he have hush money
13:52 I don't know
13:54 I don't know
13:56 I don't know
13:58 There's no way he had hush money
14:00 What's this?
14:06 Wendell's mantra. He says that before every broadcast
14:08 Has Wendell had any mental breakdowns in the past?
14:10 Thanks for your help
14:12 I think we're done
14:14 Max, no we're not
14:16 He didn't do it. He's innocent
14:18 So now you're not talking to me?
14:24 You can't just do that
14:26 Why would she lie about that?
14:28 Well, Wendell's innocent, so yeah, interview finito
14:30 Just because Jane said his whereabouts were accounted for?
14:32 Why would she lie about that?
14:34 I don't know. Sometimes people lie, Max
14:36 That's why you don't just cut an interview short
14:38 Besides, you didn't even tell me why you think Wendell's innocent
14:40 Because of the other clue that we got
14:42 Well, I got, but we're a team, so
14:44 But everything you're even talking about
14:46 David's latent fear of public speaking
14:48 Comes from the perception that being watched
14:50 Is an existential threat
14:52 Okay, so Dr. Sophie has a client named David
14:54 Who also has a fear of public speaking
14:56 What's your point?
14:58 Dr. Sophie uses real case studies
15:00 She's just changing their names
15:02 His personalized mantra, "This is who I am, this is what I do"
15:04 Alleviated much of his anxiety
15:06 So Dr. Sophie was writing about Wendell
15:10 Wendell as David
15:12 Oh wait, there's more
15:14 The final ingredient in David's treatment plan doesn't work on everyone
15:16 But David was highly responsive to hypnosis
15:18 So Wendell Collins was hypnotized
15:22 Hypnotized?
15:24 Into confessing to Dr. Sophie's murder
15:26 How is hypnosis an alibi?
15:32 That's not even a thing
15:34 It's yet another way therapists manipulate the mind
15:36 It's all a trick
15:38 There's no trick
15:40 It's just a state of relaxation or focus
15:42 Pretty effective in pain control, stress relief
15:44 And a healthy component of substance abuse treatment plans
15:50 What?
15:52 My mom's a psychoanalyst
15:54 Cool, I didn't know that
15:56 Wouldn't kill you to ask me about my personal life sometimes
15:58 Psych called, confirmed that Collins was hypnotized
16:00 Into confessing to the murder
16:02 Did I really say that?
16:06 I'm afraid so
16:08 But the psychiatrist we brought in has broken you, your hypnotic state
16:10 Says it's very likely you won't remember much
16:12 This is disastrous
16:14 My career is over
16:16 Oh I don't know
16:18 I didn't know you made headline news on your own network
16:20 I heard ratings were through the roof
16:22 Your producer said you two had a dinner meeting the night of the murder
16:24 We spoke to the restaurant
16:26 And they also confirmed that the two of you were there until 8.30pm
16:28 And then you went for drinks afterwards, alone
16:30 And stayed there until past midnight
16:32 Also confirmed
16:34 So we know you didn't kill Dr. Sophie
16:36 Of course I didn't kill Dr. Sophie
16:38 I would never hurt her
16:40 Someone wants us to believe you did
16:42 Who would want to set me up?
16:44 Well that's what we'd like to know
16:46 Did you find the other therapists while at the center?
16:48 As a matter of fact I went through several
16:50 Arts therapy, play therapy
16:54 Outdoors therapy
16:56 And nothing took?
16:58 My fault really
17:00 Someone whose job is communicating to millions of people
17:02 Has a fear of public speaking
17:04 I was embarrassed to even ask for help
17:06 I was terrified that if the truth got out I would be fired
17:08 I'm not proud of myself
17:10 But sometimes
17:12 That fear and anxiety
17:14 Make me lash out at people
17:16 At other therapists?
17:18 When I get angry I know I can be vicious
17:20 Cutting
17:22 I'm still working on it
17:24 I now know that my anger is a defense mechanism
17:26 But I don't blame any of them
17:30 Dr. Sophie
17:32 Was the only one that stuck with me
17:34 Without her
17:36 Well I owe her my life
17:40 Did any of the other therapists use hypnosis in their treatments?
17:42 No, just Dr. Sophie
17:44 And to your recollection nobody else was trying to hypnotize you?
17:46 No
17:48 But then he wouldn't remember, would he?
17:50 No, not if it was a part of the hypnotic suggestion
17:52 The lover killed Dr. Sophie also framed Wendell Collins
17:54 Alright so if we find the hypnotist we find the killer
17:56 Not just anybody can hypnotize somebody like that
17:58 It takes a trained professional
18:00 There's lots of them at the Fernwood
18:02 We just gotta figure out which one hated Dr. Sophie enough to kill her
18:04 Okay you two, saddle up
18:06 For what?
18:08 You're going for therapy
18:10 Okay let's run down our stories
18:12 Okay, I'm a cop, my dad was a cop
18:14 These therapists can sniff out a lie a mile away
18:16 You gotta stay close to the truth
18:18 But just look at the details
18:20 You're not a cop, you're a cardiothoracic surgeon
18:22 Just like your father was
18:24 My father is an entrepreneur, not a con man
18:26 Okay, how do you know that?
18:28 I've been working with him for a while
18:30 I'm not a con man
18:32 I'm a therapist
18:34 I'm a therapist
18:36 I'm a therapist
18:38 You're a con man
18:40 Okay, how did we meet?
18:42 We met five years ago, you saw me in a flash mob
18:44 For you it was love at first sight
18:46 I wasn't impressed but I felt sorry for you
18:48 What?
18:50 Welcome to the Fernwood, you must be Maxine and Colton
18:54 You are going to love the all day couples intensive
18:56 It really shocks the emotional system
18:58 And opens new pathways of communication
19:00 And we're gonna meet all the therapists, right?
19:02 Absolutely
19:04 Let the healing begin
19:06 He never listens
19:08 Please, all I ever do is listen because all you ever do is talk
19:10 Sweetie, you're a verifiable grump
19:12 I could feed you ice cream and cake
19:14 And you would still be unhappy
19:16 Because I don't really care for sweets, sweetie
19:18 And I'm not unhappy
19:20 Sorry, this place feels so different
19:22 I've gotten so used to Dr. Sophie, you know
19:24 Is it true one of her patients was responsible for her murder?
19:26 It must be affecting business
19:28 Why do you think you changed the subject?
19:30 Does talking about yourself make you uncomfortable?
19:32 No
19:34 Yes
19:36 He needs focus and grounding
19:38 You know, I hear hypnotherapy could help with that
19:40 I don't use hypnosis
19:42 Well, what about lighthouses?
19:44 The lighthouse is just a metaphor
19:46 You seem to know what your husband needs
19:48 But what do you need?
19:50 Well, there's a pair of
19:52 Lubitone pumps that I've literally been dreaming about
19:54 See, this is what I'm talking about
19:56 She doesn't think there's anything wrong with her
19:58 Yeah, I'm starting to get a good snapshot of your dynamic
20:00 I think it's time we shift into your individuality
20:02 I think it's time we shift into your individual sessions
20:04 So, the approach here is simple
20:06 By painting, you occupy the parts of your brain
20:08 that are associated with movements
20:10 leaving your frontal lobe free to explore your thoughts and feelings
20:12 Go ahead
20:14 So you just want me to paint and talk?
20:16 Exactly
20:18 Alright, what do you want to talk about?
20:20 Well, starting with your childhood never hurts
20:22 Knew you were going to say that
20:24 Not much to talk about
20:26 I'm not sure I'm going to be able to do that
20:28 I'm not sure I'm going to be able to do that
20:30 Not much to talk about
20:32 If you could paint your childhood, what would that look like?
20:34 If you could paint your childhood, what would that look like?
20:36 Well, my dad was a surgeon
20:38 Well, my dad was a surgeon
20:40 and my mom was a teacher
20:42 You're also a surgeon
20:44 Yeah, that's right
20:46 Is that what you always wanted to be?
20:48 I was always assuming that's what I was going to be
20:50 By you or your father?
20:52 Both
20:54 It's stressful being a surgeon
20:56 You see life and death situations every day
20:58 I never really saw it that way
21:00 I just see a problem and I follow the steps to fix that problem
21:02 I just see a problem and I follow the steps to fix that problem
21:04 Is that your father that taught you that?
21:06 Yeah
21:08 He was very black and white
21:10 He was very black and white
21:12 Right and wrong
21:14 Choices were really simple for him
21:16 He would have never been in a place like this
21:18 Why not?
21:20 Wasn't one to talk about his feelings, let's just say that
21:22 Wasn't one to talk about his feelings, let's just say that
21:24 Well, is that why you became a surgeon?
21:26 To connect with him?
21:28 And before you even ask, I had an amazing childhood
21:30 And before you even ask, I had an amazing childhood
21:32 No siblings, just me and my parents
21:34 No siblings, just me and my parents
21:36 Tell me one thing that wasn't amazing
21:38 Tell me one thing that wasn't amazing
21:40 Why? So you can dial into my psyche and tell me something terrible happened even though it didn't?
21:42 Why? So you can dial into my psyche and tell me something terrible happened even though it didn't?
21:44 Ooh, you caught me
21:46 I'm kidding
21:48 Let's stop here
21:50 Put your hand on the trunk of this tree
21:52 Okay
21:54 Okay
21:56 Now close your eyes
22:00 And just breathe
22:02 Feel it grounding you
22:04 Now tell me about this amazing childhood
22:06 Now tell me about this amazing childhood
22:08 My dad was an entrepreneur
22:10 My dad was an entrepreneur
22:12 He was very poor but very happy
22:14 One day he met my mother
22:16 One day he met my mother
22:18 A hottie of serious means
22:20 They fell in love
22:22 Her family said they would disown her if they ever got married
22:24 She did it anyway
22:26 A true fairy tale
22:28 A true fairy tale
22:30 Hmm
22:32 What did your mother do?
22:36 She learned his trade
22:38 She never worked before
22:40 Didn't have to
22:42 But turned out she was a natural
22:44 So she joined him in his business
22:46 And then I joined too
22:48 And then I joined too
22:50 It was us three against the world
22:52 It was us three against the world
22:54 Family business, that can be stressful sometimes
22:56 We loved it
22:58 Loved?
23:00 She passed away
23:02 Oh, I'm sorry to hear that
23:04 And your father?
23:06 He's taking some time off
23:08 To write a book
23:10 Hopefully a bestseller like Dr. S
23:12 What's your husband's around?
23:14 He's busy all the time
23:16 Surgery, you know
23:18 Which leaves you on your own
23:20 Yeah, for the first time since I was a kid
23:22 Is it hard for you?
23:24 Being alone?
23:26 It's uh
23:28 It's okay
23:30 Get in the car
23:32 What about the family photos?
23:34 We can't
23:36 Daddy, I call shotgun
23:38 Can you hypnotize
23:40 Someone into playing?
23:42 Because my husband will never do this
23:44 Um
23:46 No
23:48 Let's take a seat
23:54 I was ten years older than my brother
23:56 So I always kind of felt like I had two different childhoods
23:58 One as an only child
24:00 One with a brother
24:02 It's a tough adjustment for a kid
24:04 Getting all the attention for something so small
24:06 And then you have to be a father
24:08 And then you have to be a father
24:10 And then you have to be a father
24:12 It's a tough adjustment for a kid
24:14 Getting all the attention for so long
24:16 And then having to share it
24:18 Not really
24:20 I spent a lot of time by myself before that too
24:22 Why?
24:24 My dad worked all the time
24:26 So I always kind of had to be my own best friend, you know
24:28 It's so peaceful here
24:30 It's almost hypnotizing
24:32 Speaking of which
24:34 Do you practice hypnotism?
24:36 I hear it can be really effective
24:38 I don't
24:40 Right
24:42 Tell me, what was it like when Daniel was born?
24:44 Well, after Daniel was born
24:46 My dad had a heart attack
24:48 Which kind of forced him into an early retirement
24:50 That must have been difficult for someone who values work above everything else
24:52 That must have been difficult for someone who values work above everything else
24:54 Maybe for other people, but not for my dad
24:56 He took all that work ethic he had
24:58 And poured all his energy into Daniel
25:00 He was really different with him
25:02 Than he was with me
25:04 He was always around, he was never stressed out
25:06 He didn't push Daniel like he did with me
25:08 He didn't push Daniel like he did with me
25:10 But you know
25:12 Daniel was a different kid
25:14 He was gentle and sensitive
25:16 He was the kind of kid who brought home birds with broken wings
25:18 He was the kind of kid who brought home birds with broken wings
25:20 Hmm
25:22 It sounds like
25:24 You and Daniel experienced very different fathers
25:26 You and Daniel experienced very different fathers
25:28 Yeah
25:30 Were you ever angry with him for that?
25:32 No, I could never be angry at Daniel
25:34 No, I could never be angry at Daniel
25:36 I'm not angry at him for anything but Daniel
25:38 I'm not angry at him for anything but Daniel
25:40 I'm not angry at him for anything but Daniel
25:42 I'm not angry at him for anything but Daniel
25:44 With your tight-knit family no longer together
25:46 With your tight-knit family no longer together
25:48 You're left with only your husband
25:50 If you take a moment and visualize
25:52 Does that make you feel secure or uneasy?
25:54 Does that make you feel secure or uneasy?
25:56 Uneasy
25:58 So you don't trust your husband
26:00 Or more specifically
26:02 Do you trust that he'll do the right thing?
26:04 Always
26:06 And for the record
26:08 It's very annoying
26:10 There's no surprises with that one
26:12 Okay
26:14 So what I'm hearing is that
26:16 You've learned to mistrust
26:18 Everyone outside your circle
26:20 And now that your circle no longer exists
26:22 Your
26:24 Your mistrust is redirected
26:26 To who?
26:28 Myself?
26:30 You don't think I trust myself?
26:32 I'm suggesting that
26:34 Maybe you don't trust yourself
26:36 Enough to trust someone else
26:38 Like Colton?
26:40 Because I do trust him
26:42 Because I do trust him
26:44 I really do
26:46 Well that can be scary
26:48 If you trust Colton as you did your family
26:50 That could change the way you see
26:52 People, the world
26:54 Everything
27:00 Do you believe your wife loves you?
27:02 Sure
27:04 Do you believe that she would think any less of you
27:06 If you weren't a good surgeon?
27:08 No
27:10 But it matters to you?
27:12 Yeah
27:14 Would you say that being a surgeon is what matters most in your life?
27:16 Yeah, it's who I am
27:18 It's what you do
27:20 I like to get to it
27:22 And I'll practice therapy that dances around the issues
27:24 Your father only connected with you
27:26 When it was about work
27:28 But he loved your brother Daniel
27:30 Simply for who he was
27:32 Is that fair to say?
27:34 Yeah, it's fair
27:36 From a very young age you were taught that your self worth
27:38 Is only measured by your work
27:40 And without it you're not worthy to be loved
27:42 Did you ever trust anyone?
27:46 And had that trust broken?
27:48 Once
27:50 Do you want to talk about it?
27:52 No, but I mean, hasn't everyone?
27:54 Dr. S let someone in and she got burned too
27:56 That's what Daphne told me anyways
27:58 I wouldn't take what Daphne says to heart
28:00 She was no longer really a part of Dr. Sophie's circle
28:02 Why not?
28:04 People change
28:06 Now, back to you
28:08 You came to the Fernwood to save your marriage
28:10 That's a great step
28:12 I'm now going to ask you
28:14 The central question of every relationship
28:16 And your answer to it is all you need to know
28:18 Are you better together or apart?
28:20 Hey
28:22 How'd it go?
28:24 Uh, good
28:26 You?
28:28 Good
28:30 Yeah, it was
28:32 Exhausting
28:34 I heard you were in the hospital
28:36 I'm sorry
28:38 I'm sorry
28:40 I'm sorry
28:42 I'm sorry
28:44 I'm sorry
28:46 It was exhausting
28:48 I hear that
28:50 I'm officially talked out
28:52 Really? You? Talked out?
28:54 I know, right?
28:56 Damn it
28:58 Come on
29:08 All those therapists
29:14 I'm not getting this hypnosis
29:16 So they say
29:18 But any one of them could have learned how to do it
29:20 True, although they all seem to genuinely like Dr. Sophie
29:22 Well, it's what we thought about Daphne
29:24 But what was she searching for?
29:26 You know, Joan told me
29:28 That Daphne and Dr. S were on the outs
29:30 I don't know why
29:32 I think we already have something
29:34 That might give us the answer to that
29:36 Come on
29:38 Hey
29:40 Forensics just came back with Dr. Sophie's laptop
29:48 Look at this
29:50 How is our happy couple?
29:52 Happy set boundaries, started active listening
29:54 Oh, would you look at that
29:56 Daphne was Dear John
29:58 What the hell is a Dear John?
30:00 It's a breakup letter
30:02 Dr. Sophie emailed Daphne three days before she was killed and dumped her
30:04 But Daphne was on a plane when the doc was murdered
30:06 She could have hired someone to do it
30:08 Well, she was, about to lose her only client
30:10 A best selling book
30:12 And a budding empire
30:14 That's one hell of a motive for a murder right there
30:16 Let's bring in Daphne
30:18 I'm allowed to be in her office
30:24 I'm her manager
30:26 Ex-manager, we saw the breakup email
30:28 Why didn't you tell us that Dr. Sophie
30:30 Had dissolved her business relationship with you?
30:34 Five years
30:36 Five years
30:40 She couldn't even call me
30:42 I'm the one who molded her into a star
30:44 I helped her start the Fernwood, I organized her book tours
30:46 So then why'd she drop you?
30:48 Well, she wanted Brene Brown
30:50 Levels of fame
30:52 She figured little old me wasn't big enough to get her there
30:54 Is that why you killed her?
30:56 What?
30:58 Wendell confessed, I saw him
31:00 You saw him
31:02 I thought that was a false confession
31:04 I was on a flight when she died
31:06 You could have hired someone to do it?
31:08 Sophie betrayed me, but I didn't kill her
31:10 She was brilliant at what she did
31:14 I thought that if I could find the manuscript
31:22 I could publish it before anyone knew she was dumping me
31:24 And you'd still get your cut of her big book
31:26 Her dream interpretation book
31:28 Is going to be her biggest best seller yet
31:30 If anyone can ever find it
31:32 She hid it?
31:34 Probably
31:36 For all of her books
31:38 I would never see an outline
31:40 Chapters, a first draft, would just appear
31:42 In my email one day
31:44 A finished manuscript ready for publishing
31:46 She even spell checked it
31:48 Maybe she didn't trust me
31:50 Maybe I'll sign Joan as my next client
31:52 Is she a really bad writer?
31:56 I've read a few of her papers
31:58 I've read all of her stuff, but she's just so
32:00 So?
32:04 Boring
32:06 That's what made Sophie great
32:08 She had that "it" factor
32:10 People loved her
32:12 We checked all of Daphne's financials
32:20 Emails, phone records
32:22 There's not a thing that suggests she hired a hitman
32:24 I checked the trash
32:26 If this woman wrote a book, there ain't no sign of it
32:28 Are you sure?
32:30 I mean, you can't ever really delete anything
32:32 For example, and I thought I scrubbed it
32:34 But if you search "slurp goblins"
32:36 Hey, we don't want to know
32:38 Hello, I do
32:40 Drinks at O'Leary's
32:42 You pay, I'll play
32:44 Okay
32:46 Why wouldn't Dr. Sophie have a copy of her book
32:48 On her laptop?
32:50 She told Daphne it was finished, right?
32:52 Yeah, and it's not like writers lie about how much they write, ever
32:54 Hold up, I remember seeing a book about dreams
32:56 On Dr. Joan's desk. Coincidence?
32:58 I think not
33:00 Especially because that's a subject of Dr. S's new book
33:02 All therapists talk about dreams, it's very common
33:04 But Dr. Joan
33:06 And Dr. S went to college together
33:08 Joan was the hard-working study buddy
33:10 And Dr. S was the party girl
33:12 Maybe Joan was doing research on dreams
33:14 For Dr. S
33:16 Got jealous and stole her manuscript
33:18 We can't make up a motive just because you think you saw a book on dreams
33:20 On Joan's desk
33:22 Well, I think it's worth looking into
33:24 I follow your leads, why can't you follow mine?
33:26 I follow your leads all the time
33:28 If I have to drag you kicking and screaming
33:30 To even follow my brilliant ideas
33:32 Okay, I think brilliant is a bit of a stretch
33:34 Stop!
33:36 Did you two learn nothing in therapy?
33:38 Partnership is like a canoe
33:40 If you both paddle in the same direction, you go places
33:42 Wonderful, magical
33:44 Erotic
33:46 Hallucinatory places
33:48 But if each of you paddle in the opposite direction
33:50 What happens?
33:52 What happens?
33:54 We don't get it
33:56 That's right, so line up
33:58 Look forward and get moving
34:00 Okay, I'm sorry
34:04 We'll follow your lead
34:06 Thank you
34:08 Anybody else here need fixing?
34:10 Yeah, I had this thing
34:12 I can't help you, nobody can
34:18 Thanks, Ricky
34:20 What did he say?
34:22 Okay, Ricky was able to get into Sophie's account
34:24 There's that $500,000 withdrawal made the day before she died
34:26 Yeah, we already know that
34:28 Yeah, but he noticed another pattern
34:30 Sophie transferred $30,000 into an unknown account when her first book came out
34:32 Then another $50,000 for her second
34:34 And then $75,000 for her latest bestseller
34:36 Sounds like payment to me
34:38 Dr. Sophie had a ghostwriter
34:40 What if that's why Joan had the book of dreams on her desk?
34:42 What if she's the ghostwriter?
34:44 Do you remember when Daphne
34:46 Said that Sophie got a million dollar advance for her next book?
34:48 75k is nothing compared to a million bucks
34:50 Maybe Joan decided she wanted half
34:52 Dr. Sophie's getting all the accolades and the money
34:54 Joan's working behind the scenes
34:56 Doing all the research
34:58 Working her little fingers to the bone
35:00 Okay, so Joan blackmails Dr. Sophie
35:02 She goes to her house
35:04 They get into an argument, they fight
35:06 Joan panics, she hits her
35:08 She dies instantly and falls into the pool
35:10 Yeah, but how does Wendell fit into all this?
35:12 I don't know
35:14 Yeah, but how does Wendell fit into all this?
35:16 Well, if Joan's the ghostwriter
35:18 She would have access to all of Dr. Sophie's interviews
35:20 So she would have known that Wendell
35:22 Was particularly susceptible to hypnosis
35:24 Making him the perfect ball guy
35:26 So all she had to do was hypnotize him
35:28 After that, she's just one trigger phrase away
35:30 From getting him to confess to murder
35:32 That's a pretty damn good theory
35:38 You wanna go test it out?
35:40 (music)
35:42 (music)
35:44 (music)
35:46 (knocking)
35:48 Hello? Hey, Wendell
35:50 Looking good. Thank you
35:52 What can I do for you two?
35:54 We just wanted to hear you
35:56 Speak your truth
35:58 (music)
36:00 (music)
36:02 Just speak your truth
36:04 (music)
36:06 (music)
36:08 I killed Dr. Sophie Fernwood
36:10 I went to her house, we argued, I hit her, she fell into the pool
36:12 I killed her
36:14 There it is. That's the trigger
36:16 I killed Dr. Sophie Fernwood
36:18 I went to her house, we argued, I hit her, she fell into the pool
36:20 I killed her
36:22 We broke them, didn't we?
36:24 I killed Dr. Sophie Fernwood
36:26 I went to her house, we argued, I hit her, she fell into the pool
36:28 I killed her
36:30 (music)
36:32 Oh
36:34 You scared me
36:36 What are you doing here?
36:38 Oh, last minute crisis. We forgot our love languages
36:40 The center's closed
36:42 Oh, we'll be quick
36:44 We just came to hear you speak your truth
36:46 Funny
36:48 It doesn't have the same effect on her as it did on Wendell
36:50 Oh
36:52 What happened, Joan?
36:54 Dr. Sophie gave you the $500,000 you asked for, right?
36:56 Why don't you just take it and walk away?
36:58 Who are you?
37:00 (music)
37:02 (music)
37:04 Hey, Joan, Joan, stop! Hey!
37:06 Joan, stop!
37:08 Wait!
37:10 (music)
37:12 (music)
37:14 (music)
37:16 (music)
37:18 (music)
37:20 (music)
37:22 (music)
37:24 (music)
37:26 (music)
37:28 Don't come any closer
37:30 Joan, uh
37:32 Why don't we go inside where we can talk, huh?
37:34 What's the point?
37:36 My life, my career
37:38 It's all over anyway
37:40 (music)
37:42 (music)
37:44 Look
37:46 I know you didn't mean to kill Dr. Sophie
37:48 I really didn't
37:50 I just wanted my share of the advance
37:52 I was owed at least that
37:54 But she didn't give you any credit
37:56 Did she?
37:58 (music)
38:00 Did she?
38:02 No
38:04 She laughed at me
38:06 Said I was the same sucker
38:08 I was in college when I used to do her research
38:10 I wrote her papers
38:12 Even back then
38:14 That made you mad, right?
38:16 It did
38:18 What happened, Joan?
38:20 I tried
38:22 To leave with the bag of money
38:24 But she grabbed it
38:26 Started pointing it at me
38:28 She grabbed it
38:30 Started pushing me again and again
38:32 (music)
38:34 So you hit her with something
38:36 One of her own books
38:38 It was on the patio table
38:40 I didn't think it would kill her
38:42 I mean, I only hit her once
38:44 Exactly, it was just a mistake, right?
38:46 She just fell in the pool
38:48 I freaked out and ran
38:50 (music)
38:52 It all happened so fast I didn't mean to do it
38:54 (music)
38:56 Wait, wait
38:58 What if Daphne publishes your book?
39:00 You already wrote three bestsellers
39:02 What is gonna read a book
39:04 In earnest written by a therapist
39:06 In prison?
39:08 Are you kidding me?
39:10 That's like the best hook ever
39:12 (music)
39:14 (music)
39:16 There are computers in jail, right?
39:18 (music)
39:20 Yeah
39:22 (music)

39:44 You still here?
39:46 Yeah
39:48 Yeah, just finished taking down her statement
39:50 I heard it was a pretty intense night
39:52 I thought she was gonna jump
39:54 It's close
39:56 Yeah, I've been meaning to ask you
39:58 How was doing all that therapy?
40:00 You get anything out of it?
40:02 Yeah, uh
40:04 I think
40:06 I don't know
40:08 I haven't really processed it yet
40:10 You probably could have used some therapy back when we were partners, huh?
40:12 Yeah, probably
40:14 You know, I've been going for
40:16 About a year now
40:18 Really?
40:20 Yeah, ever since your brother died
40:22 I wanted to help you
40:24 I didn't know how
40:26 And you didn't want to talk about it
40:28 So it made me realize
40:30 I didn't know what I was doing
40:32 As far as managing my feelings
40:34 And emotions and all that stuff
40:36 How's it been going?
40:40 Good. Slow
40:42 Damn slow
40:44 But good
40:48 Where's Yates?
40:50 Oh, I don't know
40:52 She gave me the safe word tonight
40:54 The safe word?
40:56 Oh, yeah, if either one of us is getting on each other's nerves
40:58 And we need some space
41:00 You can give a safe word
41:02 No questions asked
41:04 I know I'm gonna regret this, but what's the safe word?
41:06 Ice cream
41:08 Ice cream, okay, I was expecting worse. What does it mean?
41:10 She says our partnership is like ice cream
41:12 It's awesome
41:14 It's reliable
41:16 It's like gas
41:18 That's actually, uh
41:20 That's actually kind of sweet
41:22 Yeah, I mean, don't get me wrong, I had to veto the first five safe words
41:24 They were disgusting
41:26 You heading out?
41:30 No, I gotta finish these reports
41:32 Alright, well, I just want to say
41:34 If you ever need to work things out
41:36 Therapy's good
41:38 Thanks
41:42 Yeah, appreciate that
41:44 You talk to your cat, it doesn't count
41:46 Okay, I don't talk to my cat
41:48 That's not what Mac says
41:50 Hey, what are you doing here?
42:08 I just had some drinks with the Yates
42:10 Oh boy, does she have some stories
42:12 Also, I have something for you
42:14 What?
42:16 Your painting
42:18 From the Fernwood
42:20 What do you think?
42:22 Honestly?
42:24 It's pretty terrible
42:26 Yeah, it really is
42:28 What am I supposed to do with this?
42:30 Burn it, because if anybody finds out that came from your brain
42:32 You'll be locked up for life
42:34 And then I'll have no one
42:36 Don't worry
42:40 I wouldn't let that happen
42:42 You make too good of a team
42:44 Um, I should
42:50 Really get back to this report
42:52 Yeah, it's a
42:56 It's a nice night, I'll probably go for a walk
42:58 Don't work too late
43:00 You got it
