Vindication

- I freaked out. I probably scared you guys.

- Don't worry about it, you did the right thing.

I just, I called your phone several times

and knowing that your daughter was away,

- It's okay Tanner, Becky was already awake.

This is the second homicide we've had in fourteen months.

We went twelve years without a murder

in East Bank and now we've had two.

Are we sure this is a homicide?

Back of the head.

Okay, yeah.

- Press is gonna have a field day on this one.

This is all yours Travis.

Do I have to deal with the media?

We'll worry about that later okay?

You handled the last one without a hit so,

I expect the same here.

- Well the last one left me a bread crumb trail.

Any ID yet?

Misty Huff. Married to Gordon Huff.

President and CEO of RMD Devices.

Hm, so that money, even better.

Anybody notify the husband yet?

I-

Um guys?

We-we've got another body over here.

- The East Bank community remains on edge today

after the grisly discovery of two bodies

in a field north of Farm Road 158.

Police say they are still searching for leads.

- At this time we're continuing to gather information,

as we know more we'll inform the public but,

I'd say at this time it's all I have to comment on.

My god, they made me look like a circus clown, you see that?

Why wouldn't they have me change that tie?

All the circles and stuff.

And my head, it looks huge.

You know, they use those wide angle lenses

and then they shoot you from an angle,

and your head looks all gross and blown up.

Police officers that are doing their job

day in and day out. -You think it's the angle?

- I don't doubt my team whatsoever.

But at this time, I cannot share any other information.

I appreciate your time.

- With each passing day, more questions are being raised.

About the transparency surrounding the investigation,

and if progress is really being made.

What does she want from me, huh?

What, what does she want from me?

She wants to make us look incompetent.

- Why don't we just, turn the TV off for a minute?

Since we're all here now.

Gladly.

Okay. So, before you say anything

I want to apologize for making you guys so worried.

Do you see why we're so worried?

I do! And it won't happen again.

And, the other news?

- I'm really sorry you had to find out that way.

Well what was I supposed to say?

Hey mom and dad, I'm single, I'm living at home

and I'm pregnant, surprise.

Katie. Every child is a blessing.

Your father and I love you,

and we will love this baby unconditionally.

But I've put you guys through so much.

How about this?

We've all done and said things in this house that we regret.

Especially me.

So why don't we just let it go?

I won't hold on to it, if you don't hold on to it.

That sound good?

I've wanted that for a long time.

- You sure that nail polish is good for the baby?

Fumes and all?

It's fine.

I'm serious.

I am too dad, it's fine.

It's an embarrassment.

It's what it is.

In the news, on the computers, on the phones.

In the papers!

Do you know how this makes us look?

Sir, you know these things take some time

We can't compromise- - You think I'm an idiot Bill?

How long have I been doing this work for?

I know you don't have any leads.

Our problem is, we don't have a clue how to handle ourself

in the public eye.

Oh,

So you know,

the city says they ain't gonna pay for PR rep.

So you're gonna have to come up, with another idea.

Because I want this disaster with the press,

cleaned up.

Give them a new face.

Distract them if you have to.

But I want this fixed.

Are we clear?

Yes sir.

Detective Travis, are you busy?

Come in.

- So I heard that your trainee will be handling, the media?

That should be good right? Allow you to focus?

Sure, what do you want?

- Um, do you remember that favor that you asked awhile back?

I do.

- Well, I actually wanted to ask a little favor in return.

If that's okay, but,

it isn't of the professional nature though.

Okay, go ahead.

- Well, okay um, if it wouldn't be inappropriate,

I wanted to request that you facilitate

a formal introduction between me and Ms. Tanner.

-Kris. -Mh-hmm.

What kind of introduction?

- Uh, personal introduction? (laughs softly)

-Personal? -Yeah.

Listen, listen Caleb.

Kevin.

-Kevin. -Yeah.

You have no idea what you're getting into.

There's no introduction.

- To be honest sir, I, I mean no disrespect but,

I find her intriguing, inspiring, intuitive.

Attractive.

Oh okay, listen.

This is not a bar, it's a workplace.

Sir just an introduction?

Maybe a good word? That's all I'm asking here.

- I'll think about it, only because I owe you.

Thank you sir, have a great afternoon.

Thank you.

- I mean, they think she's gonna do a better job than me.

Media's gonna eat her alive.

- I think this is a good learning experience for Kris.

You know Tony saw me on the news.

Said there was four job openings in Fort Worth

with signing bonuses, nice signing bonuses.

You'd consider moving?

Really?

Well I like options.

How'd it go at the obstetrician?

They ran some tests.

We should hear back in a couple of days.

She's worried that there might be something wrong.

Cause of her history, so please be sensitive.

- Was she on something when she got pregnant?

She's not sure.

I can be sensitive.

We need to bring everyone back in.

Set them down, stare them in the eyes,

see if their stories change.

- Toxicology report's supposed to be in this week.

The kid in the lab said he's gonna

bring it to me as soon as it's done.

You mean Kevin?

He's a great guy, smart.

Also, Gordon's business partner supposed

to be back in the country this week.

That's if he returns at all.

One sit down with him may be all we need.

You think he's involved?

I won't know unless I talk to him.

- Sir I don't mean to rush you but I'm supposed

to do an interview with Channel Four this evening,

so we kinda need to get back.

- Yeah okay, just set up the meeting for me.

Who do you want first?

Start with the son.

Robert, Tyler.

Thank you for coming back in.

I know this is a tough time for both of you.

Well Tyler wants to help any way he can

and I'll be here anytime he needs me.

- I know the family's very grateful for what you're doing.

How you holding up?

- I'm all right. Just doesn't seem real to me still so.

I can't imagine.

You've been very helpful so far though.

We were just going through the transcripts and uh,

just needed some clarification on a few details.

Particularly about the party

the night before they were found.

Okay sure.

So you said your parents were divorced,

that you lived with your father and your stepmom, correct?

That's right.

But your mom was at the party?

Party for your dad's company?

So I'm assuming that they're on good terms?

Well, she wasn't there for my dad.

She was there with Mike who works for him.

Mike Taylor, his business partner?

That's right.

So, why was she there with him?

Actually they're, they're dating now.

So it was this big ordeal back and forth

about how she wasn't really invited
