The Sinner

- One was definitely calling Muldoon.

I saw him run away.

- The Lam kid fucking cut our traps.

- The gall of that goddamn family.

- Percy was really scared that somebody was after her...

Some guy.

There had been a fight,

and the room was all smashed up.

She called on me,

and I went with Colin to pick her up.

You went, too?

Let it go.

- If you're investigating anyone, it should be him.

- I think this case is bringing out

a really ugly side of you.

Steady.

There we go.

Yeah, watch that end.

Okay, got it.

I watched her grow up.

They're here.

Meg, we already ID'd her.

I really don't think...

She was in the water for almost a week.

You don't want to see her like this.

Here they come.

- I'm so sorry it came to this, Meg.

Uh...

let me...

Uh, Tom here is from Rockport,

and, uh, he examined the body...

uh, her body,

and he didn't find ev... evidence of any foul play.

She died from the fall.

Now, we can send her to Portland...

to the labs, but...

- We don't expect to find anything to the contrary.

- But we can do whatever you want, Meg.

Keep this investigation open.

It's up to you.

- We should start planning the funeral.

We need her body.

We need this to be over.

What's this?

It's a Celtic North Star.

Fishermen love their totems.

That one's a big one for the Irish.

It points you to Heaven...

and fish.

Excuse me, where was that?

In her jacket pocket.

Valerie.

Does that name mean anything to you?

No.

I know there's more.

The guy in the surveillance footage...

someone was with her on the bluff.

Family, whatever that is...

name on the back of the star.

The star.

Why would you have that with you?

Does it even matter?

I mean, you saw what you saw.

I jumped.

Ah, come on.

It's not that simple.

But it was my choice.

What if I really didn't want to live anymore?

You know that feeling.

Those times at Sonya's when you couldn't sleep...

Or when you were on the ferry coming here,

you were looking down into the water,

thinking about sinking.

How much longer you can keep this up?

How did it go?

Ah, it's over with.

- Well, at least they can stop wondering.

At least they have an answer.

- But there's still a lot of questions.

And, uh, they're closing the case.

No one wants to keep looking.

I can understand that.

It's less painful that way.

- Maybe they don't want something exposed.

We should go, leave.

Oh, we could drive down the coast.

Won't feel like much of a vacation after all this.

Yeah.

This is where you wanted to paint.

I mean, it has the light

that you were looking forward to and...

- Well, there's light other places.

And...

is Greta...

I mean, you've hardly seen her at all.

Why don't you want to go?

I...

What is it about Percy?

You're right. We should go.

Really, I...

You're right.

Okay.

Okay.

I think it's better for both of us, huh?

Excuse me.

- Just trying to figure out who this boat belongs to.

Well, it's private property.

I'm gonna need you to get back on the docks.

- It's a Muldoon boat, though, right?

I know Sean's boat,

but this Colin's boat?

Yeah.

Percy work on this boat?

Not recently.

She worked on Colin's crew.

Uh, not exactly.

How do you mean?

- Well, they used to go out together a lot on their own.

So it wasn't fishing trips.

Any idea what it was?

- My job is to monitor the docks,

not what people do out there.

Just stay off the boats, okay?

Sure, okay.

- There's nothing any of us can say

that'll change things.

I'm in this fight,

and I'm not backing down.

And I'm gonna do whatever it takes.

- I see Colin has joined us tonight.

It's nice to see you back, Colin.

The floor is yours if you... if you want it.

Thanks, Owen.

Um...

I know I haven't been the most, uh,

steady member here.

Uh, I've probably taken

all of you for granted sometimes...

most times.

I mean, you guys know...

Percy and me.

We were like the same person.

She drove me fucking crazy.

We, uh...

had this big fight, uh...

just before she...

You know, did what she did, and, uh...

we weren't talking.

Anyway, all I know is, fuck, I want a drink.

God knows I loved her.

And when I think about that last time...

And what I did,

it's, uh...

I think that's...

I'll talk to you later.

Thanks for meeting me.

I realize things didn't end so well

at dinner the other night.

I stirred the pot.

I'm not a good guest.

- Percy didn't do this to herself.

Someone's to blame for this.

- You sure? - Percy was devout.

She knew that wasn't an option.

She would have come to me first.

- That book at your house that you showed me

and the objects that were in her room...

something was turning inside her...

That's what I mean.

That wasn't Percy.

Somebody had control over her.

Everyone... even my sons... they want to give up.

Somebody did this to her.

- Does the name Valerie mean anything to you?

Valerie, who's that?

- Was she one of Percy's friends?

Or could she have been somebody that was on the payroll?

No one I know. Why?

I'm just guessing.

- You don't let things go easily.

That's why I need your help.

I have to leave tomorrow.

Oh, already?

Can't you stay just for a few more days?

You've done so much already.

I can't.

- I want you to know that if you ever want to come back,

it's an open invitation.

It doesn't expire.

Well, then maybe

you can keep your eyes and ears open for me.

- Harry... - It's just not sitting right.

How do you mean?

- We don't know who was on that bluff with her.

The objects that she had...

they were so specific.

And the star...

she brought that star out there.

It's like she was trying to tell us something.

Harry, enjoy your retirement.
