Do-shita-no.
Sekai ni mis'terareta arigatoki ni!
Cut-o!
- Yes. - Alright, great work everyone.
How was that?
Cutting, turn it around. Take fifteen.
Harley, that was excellent.
Okay, how's my accent?
We'll get it.
Kiki, a moment.
This is hands down the best thing you've ever done.
- It is? - They made you a costume!
You are officially part of the Kiki-Loki universe.
You're canon!
Dude, thank you so much for letting me be here today.
Are all the commercials for...
Doshtino.
Dostino... are they... are they all like this?
All the ones with Kiki-Loki, yeah.
But in Japan, Kiki-Loki is everywhere.
Comic books. Cartoons.
I'm even wearing Kiki-Loki underwear, check it out.
Alright, I don't need to see your big-boy Underpants.
Since you seems to know...
...what is a Kiki-Loki?
A half-chicken, half elephant,...
...half totally awesome kirin-type creature.
Why stop at three halves?
Kiki-Loki spits in the face of human arithmetic.
My god. The Assassins of Thirst.
Do you think I can just,...
...like, talk to them?
Yeah, I'm sure they speak "geeked out fan boy",...
- ...go knock yourself out. - No way!
Hey, superstar!
Hey, this is my first job as your primary agent.
Vijay, I wanna thank you so much for this opportunity.
I promise I will not let you down.
You totally think I'm going to let you down.
Come on, I'm a pro!
Yeah, a pro who Hollywood thinks...
...is having an extended nervous breakdown.
- Do you think that? - No. No. Of course not.
I just don't think that you are...
...committed to all of this.
I am super committed! I swear on this stack of...
Do-shita-no.
...Do-shita-no. That I will not let you down.
Mister Carter?
Ms. Hatanaka would like to see you.
Who is that?
The actress you're starring with?
Yes! Kiki-Loki.
Let's go.
So, what do you think so far?
Not really thinking.
Just taking in the amazingness of it all.
Thank you so much for helping us.
Everyone loves your character Charlie Carter.
Not as much as they love Kiki-Loki.
Kiki-Loki stands for everything that is good in the world.
People do love that.
People also love Jin.
In over sixty years,
...Jin is only the third person to wear the costume...
...before her...
...only her father and her grandfather had been Kiki-Loki.
It is my family's business. I had no choice.
Sorry but...
...can't anybody just wear the costume?
Couldn't anyone just be...
...Charlie Carter?
Yeah. You're right.
It wouldn't be the same.
Anyway, thank you.
It's an honour to help you sell your...
...dai... daisha-to.
- Do-shita-no - Do-shit-a-no.
Doshtanno.
Speed right past the t... as if it is not even there.
Dosh-tano.
Dosh-tano!
You'll get it.
We should get back.
Got a kick. See you on set.
Mister Carter,...
...I know you find this all pretty strange.
Well, we don't really have a ton of...
...magical chicken-elephants here in Bishop.
No. But you do have similar things.
Do you know how Santa Claus became popular?
By giving presents away?
A soft-drink company...
...took a character many people had never heard of...
...and created a mythology.
But really,...
...Santa Claus is just a...
...a hermit who enslaves elves.
Forces them to make toys. Then,...
...in the middle of the night, breaks into your house.
To preserve this story, parents lie to their children.
I find that terrifying.
Well, yeah. But, presents.
Made by slaves.
Elves.
Who don't get paid.
So...slaves.
Yeah, but it makes people happy.
As does Kiki-Loki.
Alright. This time you will drink the Do-shita-no.
This will give you and Kiki-Loki the power...
...to defeat the Assassins,...
...and bring happiness to the world.
Drinking from a can laid by a mythological creature...
...is a small price to pay for world happiness.
Okay, back to work, everyone.
- Places! - Places!
Vijay man, thanks for making this happen.
Hey, any friend of Harley's.
You guys know Harley Carter?
Kinda best friends so, yeah.
Wait.
Do you guys know Kiki-Loki?
We know Jin. Yeah.
Well, I'm Harley's agent.
- Vijay Gill. - Hey,...
...your boy's killing it out there.
Yeah, he tends to bring it.
Okay guys, we're good to go.
Quiet on set. Roll sound.
And...
action!
Jin.
Jin!
Is she okay?
I think she's dead.
Get the medic!
There's a noticeable flush in the face...
...but she's wearing a fifty pound suit.
So you're thinking, what? Heart attack?
Could be. Or a stroke.
Rare in somebody so young, but not totally unheard of.
I'll be able to tell you more when I get a closer look.
- Is she okay? - Let me check.
Hey.
What's up?
It's just so tragic.
Kiki-Loki was such an inspiration to so many people.
It's just hard to believe she's dead.
Hey Sam, were-were you a fan, too?
Because I had no idea this was such a big deal.
No, and that is why we have to take a good long look at what happened.
Because a lot of people are gonna want to know.
So do you wanna go get changed?
Yeah.
What happened?
It's okay, Dot. I'm fine.
What happened to Kiki-Loki?
It happened less than an hour ago.
How did you find out so quick?
Google alert.
Hey, man. Why didn't you tell me Dot was also a Keek?
- What? - Keek?
Geek? Fans of Kiki-Loki?
How am I supposed to know that?
There are three Kiki-Loki in my room.
Dot, I've been in your room exactly once,...
...and you told me if it ever happened again,...
...I could go live in the bushes.
Are you making jokes?
- In this moment? - No. No.
Too soon.
I'm sorry. I realize that...
Kiki-Loki represents everything that's good in the world.
I want to help.
There's nothing to help with, okay?
We're just getting into it.
I'll let you guys know if we find anything out.
We must do something.
I feel your pain, man.
You. Dot.
I'm sorry.
So isn't that standard procedure on a job like this?
Usually as the on-set medic, you barely know who the actors are.
You're just there in case someone has a reaction...
...to the shrimp on the craft table.
But in this case, for Jin,...
...the company made sure they shared all her medical records with me.
So she was sick?
No, but a couple of months ago...
...she had some pretty significant surgery.
A huge artery in her chest was repaired.
But she was cleared for work.
She was still taking some post-op meds,...
...mostly blood pressure pills.
But other than that, she was healthy.
Amazingly so, considering what she'd just been through.
Which sadly doesn't mean anything.
No.
When it's your time, there's nothing you can do.
- Thank you. - Yeah.
Hey. Harley.
Do you think the police will have to interrogate you?
Well, yeah, but because I am the police, sort of,...
...I'll make sure to go easy on me.
I just don't want it to make you look bad.
Vijay, I didn't kill her.
Okay, I don't need to know what happened,...
...I just have to manage the damage.
- There's no damage to manage- - Okay, say no more,...
...I'm on it.
What is he on?
No way this was an accident.
Okay. Little bit of crazy in your eyes right now.
Okay, so when you say "it wasn't an accident",...
...we're all supposed to just buy in, but when I say it, I'm crazy.
Okay. What do you think happened?
I think one of the Assassins of Thirst killed her.
You think she was killed by a fictional character?
One of the Assassins,...
...,one of the actors, ...
...was watching her.
Watching, watching. Between shots.
Not sure I can sell watching equals murder to Sam.
Especially since we don't even know if this was a suspicious death.
You know what? We're on it.
Let the professionals handle it.
Dai, we're so sorry for what happened today.
But we need to ask you a few questions.
Whatever you need.
How well did you know Jin?
We had made...
...several Kiki-Loki commercials over the past few years.
She was the one who originally hired me.
We worked extremely well together.
Jin hired you? She had a say in things like that?
Nobody's told you?
Jin isn't...
...wasn't just Kiki-Loki.
She was the head of the company.
Ever since her father died.
We were going to go back to the beginning.
Recreate some of the very first...
...Kiki-Loki commercials.
Introduce Kiki-Loki to a whole new generation.
This was supposed to be the start of something,...
...not the end.
Are you the police?
Good. Inside.
Jin's step-mother.
I find if you just agree with everything she says,...
...the conversation goes more smoothly.
Do you know why this commercial is shooting in Bishop, Mister Carter?
Because it was the most reasonable...
of all of my unreasonable demands?
Because of me.
Because I thought that having you...
...in this commercial would help the company.
And you're the one who makes those sorts of decisions?
I'm the one who makes all the important decisions.
My apologies for being so clumsy.
My apologies for being so rude.
Earlier this year, I...
...I lost my husband.
And now my step- daughter is dead.
I'm halfway around the world from my home,...
...and I'm the one who has to deal with all this.
We understand Jin was recovering from surgery?
An aortic aneurysm.
Six months ago she woke up in the hospital,...
...barely able to move.
But she recovered quickly.
Many experts...
...told me that she was...
...fine to do this commercial.
Obviously they were wrong.
Someone has to pay for this.
You may be looking at a malpractice suit...
...but in the meantime we will find out whatever we can.
Whatever I can do.
Please let me know.
Yeah, the sooner the case is solved,...
...the sooner people will stop putting Harley Carter...
...and Dead Actress in the same sentence.
Yeah. Whatever I can do, I will.
Okay.
Hey Dot.
I just wanted to say, thank you for letting me crash here.
Sure.
And I'm sorry I called you a yappy little dog.
I don't remember that.
You weren't here when I said it.
But I think you are looking out for Harley now.
Before, I thought you were feeding his crazy.
My mistake.
Gomen-sai.
You going somewhere?
Hey, Dot. You ready?
Hi.
Wait. You're going to try and find out how Kiki-Loki died.
- No we're not. - Hell yeah, we are.
But Harley said that there was nothing suspicious yet.
Harley also called Kiki-Loki a "chicka-phant".
He's not invested in this.
I am paid to be invested on his behalf.
Let me come.
We might need someone with a suit.
Who looks good.
You look like a garbage man and no one likes me.
Okay. Fine.
Let's roll.
Cyanide?
I'm as surprised as you are.
She didn't die from her surgery?
No. She was poisoned.
It can present like a heart attack.
But I wanted to make sure.
Doesn't it usually take weeks to get a report like this?
I may have called in some favours.
Because you were suspicious?
Not exactly.
Because it was Kiki-Loki.
So...
...do you tweet?
My god...
- Thank god! - So...
...the manager,...
...now that I slipped this friend of mine 20 bucks,...
...is going to send someone over who saw Jin before she died.
For sure Jin was here?
She was staying at this hotel.
Apparently she met people down here.
Okay, so what does that even prove?
One clue at a time there, Watson.
You can't find a single bread crumb and immediately know,...
...what kind of bread you're eating.
Yeah. Close enough.
So Dot.
Have to admit.
I didn't peg you as a Kiki-Loki fan.
Okay. Good talk.
Like many Japanese men after the war, my father...
...worked hard.
It was his job to put...
...food on the table.
He wasn't cuddly, was he?
Not cuddly.
There was one thing we disagreed about.
Kiki-Loki.
He told me it was silly.
But I couldn't help myself.
And then...
...I started finding Kiki-Loki toys in my back pack.
I thought it was my mother.
Then one day...
...I saw him...
...leaving it on my shoe.
Kiki-Loki reminds you of him, doesn't he?
If you tell Harley this story,...
...your coffee truck will become a smoking ruin.
No one will know how it happened.
Secret's safe with me, Dot.
What about you, Dave?
Saturday...
...morning cartoons.
I used to get up at the ass crack of dawn...
...and I'd watch all the regular stuff...
...but Kiki-Loki?
Man, Kiki-Loki blew my mind.
It was like it was speaking a language that only I could understand.
Japanese?
Sekai ni mis'terareta toki ni
When the world's against you.
Yeah.
Felt like I was part of something special.
You guys asking about the dead Japanese chick?
- I doubt we phrased it that way... - Yes.
What do you wanna know?
Who was she here with?
A couple of white guys.
Another Asian dude.
Anyone you knew?
Nope. All out-of-towners.
Tucked into a table in the corner.
Yeah, I don't have any more questions.
Harley always has questions.
Do you have any photos?
No.
But do you wanna know about the guy who tried to get close to them?
The guy who we had to throw out of the bar...
...because he kept saying how much he loved Kiki-Loki?
I'm betting that I know who that is.
Him, am I right?
Yup, that's him.
The assassin of thirst guy.
Somebody killed her?
That is what we're investigating, yes.
But we do not think it was accidental.
- What now? - Well, now we dig in.
We take a look at who may have wanted her dead.
Who loved her. Who hated her. Who could get close to her.
This is horrible.
We'll need a list of all the names...
...of anyone who had access to her room.
A complete crew list.
Will you be bringing in experts?
Federal investigators?
What do you mean?
A complex case...
...involving an internationally-known celebrity.
I need to know the most experienced detectives are looking into it.
Well, I appreciate your concern,...
...but we're on it.
So what now?
So, like you said. We dig in.
What's up, guys?
Well, you know, I don't want to say I told you so,...
and I don't want to seem like I'm being crazy again, but...
One of the tight-fitting onesie boys was following Jin.
You should arrest him for killing her.
You're welcome.
Kinda stole my thunder there, Dot.
They're just trying to help.
'Cause we're all detectives now, I get it.
Eli Truscott.
Do you remember him from the commercial?
Assassin Number 3?
Honestly, it was like Mardi Gras on acid.
Unless he wasn't dressed up, I would not remember him.
Eli Truscott?
- Yeah. - Detective Shaw.
From the Bishop Police Department.
- You're here about Jin's death. - Yeah.
Is it okay if we ask you a few questions?
Go ahead.
Did you know Jin Hatanaka?
Of course I knew her. I worked with her.
Did you ever see her outside of work?
Nope.
Is that it? I've gotta get back inside.
But what about your smoke?
Eli. Who's there?
No one, mom.
Well, it sounds like Harley Carter.
It's not, mom.
Well, invite him in. I have got a bone to pick with him!
Alright, mom!
Hello, mom.
Well, I just want to know...
...why you haven't kissed her yet?
Sadly, I don't have much say...
...in the storylines of Call Carter, sorry.
Every week...
...I tune in to see if you will.
Well, it's our diabolical plan.
But what we're really here to talk about is Eli.
Eli, we have an eyewitness...
...that says you got awfully close to Jin during the commercial.
I just go where the AD tells me.
Alright, well what about these?
We got a dozen emails...
...from you to Miss Hatanaka.
From your biggest fan.
Assassin Number Three.
You want to explain why you were sending emails...
...to a star you say you did not know?
Yeah, I was just hoping to butter her up to get a bigger role.
Maybe a line.
Something to stand out.
You were in a onesie with a Kabuki mask.
I don't think you needed a line.
And there's the fact that you were stalking her at her hotel bar.
Excuse me.
No, I really think you should be listening...
- Hey, Chief. What's up? - Shaw.
Do you know Princess Mako of Akishino?
I have no idea what you're talking about.
Well, she knows who you are.
She's part of the Japanese royal family.
Who just called me asking...
...how this investigation is going.
- What? - Yeah,...
...and solving this crime was a big deal to her.
Okay.
I'd love you to wrap this up.
Copy that.
Well, you'd think that there...
...must be something you can do,...
...you're the star of the show!
Of course I wouldn't hurt Jin.
I loved her. And she loved me too.
She loved you?
Well, she never said it. But she didn't have to.
Did you ever actually talk to her?
Yeah, of course. At the commercial.
She didn't know I was there.
She clearly wanted to be alone.
But when I introduced myself,...
...she was so nice.
Do you mind?
Can I have a puff?
I'm not supposed to.
But it smells so good.
I guess that shared secret brought us closer together.
When I got this role...
...I suspected it was destiny.
But when I spoke to her,...
...I knew it was.
I knew that there were people like this in the world.
But to meet one is terrifying.
I came home to my place one night in LA,...
...and there was this woman in my kitchen.
I had no idea who she was,...
...or how she got there but she was really happy to see me.
What did she want?
She was dressed up as Lazy Jane,...
...it's a character from my show...
...who hunted my character for a few seasons.
This lady wanted me to kill her as Lazy Jane...
...so that my character would be free of Lazy Jane.
That's crazy. What did you do?
I sat her down, we had a few drinks,...
...and eventually we had sex.
I'm kidding. I called her an Uber.
Then I got a restraining order.
And then I got her the proper medical attention.
I think we should tear this guy's house apart.
See if we can find traces of cyanide.
Shaw.
TV-guy.
I just got my ass handed to me by...
...some woman who's involved in this commercial.
That would be Michelle.
Right. Someone's broken into her hotel room.
She wants to make sure Bishop's "finest investigators"...
...are sent to figure out who did it.
Chief. We've got a good suspect in this murder.
Yeah. Who will still be here when you get back.
And to me, y'know,...
...this company's weird mascot dies?
One of their hotel rooms gets cleaned out?
It feels like, it feels...
- Hinky? - No.
Off? Suspect?
Funny? Peculiar, not funny ha-ha?
Just... would you just go?
Not right? Fishy?
Cause I can smell fish.
Chief, did you have fish for lunch?
- Here we go. - Here we go.
Harley Carter?
- Eddie Hughes. - I'm Alex.
We're just in the middle of something.
- You want a selfie? - Yeah, yeah, yeah.
We don't wanna interrupt. Or, you know, invade your space.
But we would love to talk.
Yeah. You guys were at the commercial.
That's right. Yeah.
Brutal thing that happened there.
Are you with Do-shita-no?
No, no, no, not yet.
But between us, we've got our eye on them.
We've seen their financials. They're a great target.
We're a private equity play.
We buy companies and sell off the most profitable parts.
Or identify what they're doing wrong and then fix it.
And then you sell them.
Yep.
We think you could really help boost value at Do-shita-no.
Isn't that what the commercial was all about?
No. No, we're thinking way beyond that.
We thought you looked incredible on set.
And your character, Carter, has got legs.
We think it could work with either with this company,...
...or other companies that we've got our eye on.
Alright, well, come on, Harley.
You think about what we just said.
Right.
Making money by...
...tearing down other people's life work.
How could I forget that.
He'll come around.
Jewelry.
Cash.
Computers.
They even broke into my safe.
- When did it happened? - I don't know.
Earlier today. I went out for a couple of hours...
...and when I got back it was like this.
We're so sorry.
Detectives, My step-daughter was murdered.
And now someone is trying to target me. I...
We will do everything we can to find out who broke in.
I need answers.
I hate to say it, but I think I agree with the Chief.
Which makes me feel a little hollow inside.
Yeah, it does feel coincidental.
The break-in. Jin's poisoning.
It does seem like someone's trying to target this company.
So, High fives all around.
The bottle you found contains several pills laced with cyanide.
Almost certainly the stuff that killed Ms. Hatanaka.
How does somebody even get cyanide?
Well, you can buy it online.
But then whoever did that put it in pills...
...that look suspiciously like blood pressure meds.
Like the pills I found in Jin's trailer.
So maybe Michelle puts some of those pills...
...in Jin's bottle and waits.
Hey did you lift any prints off that bottle?
Not a thing. Wes says it's clean as a whistle.
So she carefully wipes the prints from the bottle...
...but then carelessly leaves her safe open and invites the police over?
You're thinking it was planted?
We don't know what we're thinking yet.
- Thanks Nic. - Yeah.
So they've found the murder weapon.
The killer can't be far behind.
Thanks for letting us down here.
I know you must be breaking some rules.
The Kiki-Club has to stick together.
Now scram.
Okay, thank you. Bye.
Do you think there's such a thing as...
...a consulting detective to a consulting detective?
Like a detective once removed?
- But we didn't really do anything. - Not yet.
What do you mean? They found the murder weapon.
So likely the person whose room they found it in is the killer.
What hotel we talking about?
Same one we were at earlier. In the bar.
Do you have a move in mind?
Same move as you. We find the killer.
How?
I know a guy.
Did she just pull off a Harley exit?
Where do you think he gets it from?
Wait...
what?
Let's say for the sake of argument that was Michelle's cyanide.
She puts it in the safe and what, forgets about it?
Not the smartest, but the big question is...
...why would she want Jin dead?
Alright. Let's hear it.
Okay.
Sales of Do-shita-no have been dropping.
There have been rumours that the company was going to be bought out.
Those two well dressed gentlemen that we saw in front of the hotel...
...they've been actively kicking the company's tires.
But after Jin's death,...
...sales of Do-shita-no have gone through the roof.
Evil step-mom kills beloved mascot, gets rich.
Yeah, I don't know.
I mean, Michelle seemed pissy, but she doesn't see, psychotic.
Alright.
No worries, let's split up.
You go grill evil step-mom.
I've got a half-baked idea that I wanna chase down.
Feet!
So no one's been in?
No.
Or out?
How could someone come out if I didn't let anyone in?
Yeah Rafalski.
Now you're thinking like a detective.
I like it.
Hello, Dave.
And not Daves.
Good to see you.
So you're probably wondering what we're doing here.
No. Not at all.
I actually needed your help and here you are.
It's the ghost of Kiki-Loki at work.
No, we've actually got some information on the case.
That's terrific, because I also have something to show you.
Come on.
You're saying Jin was poisoned?
And the poison that used was found in your room.
So that's your theory?
That I forgot it was there? And then I called the police?
Why do women do that?
Do what?
Think that the only way to be successful...
...is to swing a bigger dick than all the men around them.
You think that's what I'm doing?
Well, yeah.
Ignoring me the first time we talked.
Explaining business to me like I couldn't possibly understand.
Telling me to get a cop who can actually do the job.
Yeah, it's... it's feeling like a strategy.
You're the one who walked in here with a crazy theory.
Stranger things have been true.
And if it's not true...
...if you took two seconds to put it back in your pants and be helpful,...
...we could find out who killed Jin.
I bet you're all wondering why I brought you here.
Usually when you say that, it's because one of us is the murderer.
Are you? Because, while sad, that would free up my afternoon.
I don't think any of you are involved.
But I would like you to take a look at these...
...and tell me what you see.
A recently robbed hotel room?
That's exactly what I thought.
Sam and I came up here to investigate...
...that robbery, and what we actually found...
...was the murder weapon in the Jin Hatanaka case.
The cyanide.
How'd you know that?
Okay, now he definitely thinks one of us is the murderer.
Nicole.
Kiki Club is on the case.
Good work.
Okay.
Will you all me a little space? Just...
...there you go, back up, right there, little more, there we go.
Okay.
Red leather, yellow leather, red leather, yellow leather.
Dave.
- Give me an action. - No.
- Gimme an action. - No! That's ridiculous.
- Dave, say action. - You don't need to...
Action!
Hey!
Dude! What the hell!
It's all good.
I made a damage deposit.
Like, a huge damage deposit.
Now...
...tell me what you see.
It looks almost identical to the room in the photo.
I know a set when I see one.
Okay, I think...
...they came up here...
...to make people believe they were gonna rob the place.
But actually...
...they left something behind.
Something...
...they wanted us to find.
Extremely theatrical,...
...but impressive.
Question: Do you have any idea who did it?
Who broke in?
No.
We do.
I'm sorry. What?
It was the brothers.
The Hughes brothers?
The security cameras caught them.
We asked the hotel.
They said their cameras were broken.
As I told these two,...
...I know a guy.
Well, I know hundreds of guys, Dot.
You need to be a little more specific.
I took a computer class with the guy...
...who fixes the security system here.
He fixed the cameras two days ago...
...and didn't tell the hotel so he could keep charging them.
We need to tell Sam.
If not me...
...you wanna know who else would want Jin dead.
Was there anyone who disliked her?
On the set?
Competitors? Give me a direction.
This company has been under a lot of pressure.
After Jin's operation,...
...there were some serious offers to buy it.
But in our company...
...decisions like that are made by the family.
It has to be unanimous.
When Jin got sick,...
...when it looked like Kiki-Loki was done,
...we were ripe for takeover.
The companies who wanted to buy us were not happy...
...with Jin's decision to keep Kiki-Loki alive.
Give me some names.
Here they come.
They go in and then they come out about...
...ten minutes later.
What do we know about these guys?
They're loud-mouths.
Trying very hard to look cool.
I've met guys like this in LA.
They talked about Do-shita-no like it was a piece of meat.
Alright. We need to track these Hughes brothers down.
But first...
The brothers have been after Do-shita-no for months.
They seemed to know more about the company than Jin did.
Where it was losing money.
How to streamline production.
Even after Jin said no, they were...
...relentless.
So if they killed Jin...
There would be no Kiki-Loki.
Michelle might be...
...convinced to sell.
And now that there's an active murder investigation,...
...they try to frame Michelle.
Making the company even more unstable.
Dai,...
...before you were not wearing a wedding ring,...
...and now you are.
A couple of months ago, Jin and I got married.
We didn't want to tell anyone.
Jin was afraid people would disapprove if...
...Kiki-Loki was married.
But...
...now all that seems foolish.
And I wanted something to remember her by.
So, Big-time business bros poison Jin...
...so they can buy the company for cheap.
They do it here in Bishop...
...hoping that the backwoods cops...
...won't buy their ridiculous frame job on Michelle.
But why didn't Dai tell us he was married?
You know, now that he's married and Jin is dead,...
...he becomes a family member that can run the company.
Plus, it's a little convenient...
...that he shows up with information on the brothers...
...right when we need info on the brothers.
You know what I usually do right about now?
I put all the suspects in one room,...
...and get one of them to confess.
Yeah. I get nervous when you say usually.
Because what that usually means...
...is you're talking about your show.
- Yeah, no... - And don't even list...
- ...off all the episodes it works on! - It was a great episode, it was...
- ...Nominated. - No!
Absolutely not.
We are doing this the old-fashioned way.
- Who is it? - It's Vijay, I should take this...
Alright, I'm gonna go see if I can round up the Hughes brothers.
Bring them in for a chat.
Hey, superstar!
So we have this great idea...
Alex and Eddie. Come.
Glad you decided to hear us out.
Yeah.
And we have Michelle.
You said you had something to tell me about Jin's death.
Yeah. I do.
What's going on, Mister Carter?
Our final guest.
Dai.
What is this all about?
Okay.
I want to personally thank you all for being here...
And I bet you're wondering...
...Why you've brought us here. Yeah.
Well. It's simple...
You each have...
...a very good reason...
...for wanting Jin dead.
That's what this is?
An Agatha Christie mystery?
I'm leaving.
That's exactly what the killer would say.
Alex and Eddie.
You have been...
...trying really, really hard to buy this company.
But Jin refused.
So we killed her?
That's ridiculous.
We're here to get her to reconsider.
We have evidence of you breaking...
...into the hotel room where we found the poison...
...that killed her.
What?
Room 213.
No, no, no. Someone...
...asked us to come to that room.
Yeah, we let ourselves in...
...but whoever they were, they never showed.
What is a Kuchiku-kan?
It's a code name.
For months now they've been feeding us all...
...of Do-shita-no's financial statements.
And strategies about how to convince Jin to sell.
Okay, so...
...so someone inside the company...
...was helping you buy it.
Destroy the company.
Kuchiku-kan means destroyer.
Dai.
Now that we know...
...you and Jin were married,...
...if the company were to be sold, you would benefit tremendously.
You were married?
That's how the company works, right?
It's owned equally by all the family members.
Now that Kiki-Loki is gone,...
...there's no reason to keep the company.
All you'd have to do is convince Michelle to sell.
I loved Jin.
Okay.
Who else benefits?
Who has been working overtime...
...to sell this company?
Well now that we have a...
...hand-writing sample of this Kuchiku-kan.
Michelle?
You've been working in secret for months.
And just when this deal was about to happen...
Jin announced that she was going to be Kiki-Loki again.
You need to think about tomorrow.
Kiki-Loki...
...must never die.
I agree.
...And you made a terrible decision.
Do you know what it's like to live in the shadow of some character?
Watch your husband waste his money, our money...
...on a ridiculous fantasy?
When he died, when Jin got sick,...
...I thought all of that time I put in finally paid off.
Let's get in there.
You did not anticipate this?
I thought she was a poisoner.
I'm leaving.
Don't follow me.
Get away from me.
Put the gun down.
You cannot kill Kiki-Loki!
Michelle, put that gun down.
Yeah.
- That would be a good idea. - Sam?
Michelle.
Put the gun down.
Now.
If you shoot me,...
...she will blow your head off.
Michelle!
Hey Dot.
I told you to wait until I needed help.
She had a gun pointed at you.
You want to wait until you have a hole in your chest?
Any idea how Sam got here?
I called her.
See? Even Kiki-Loki needs back-up.
Not as much as you, Harley.
Dot got to wear the suit?
It's okay.
Tomorrow.
None of this happened.
Okay. We didn't bond.
You didn't show me your soft underbelly.
You didn't put on the costume and solve a crime. Got it.
The director said he would find a new Kiki-Loki.
To keep Jin alive.
Well, you should audition.
You are a pretty good Kiki-Loki.
Next time you do that,...
...I will break your thumb.
Okay.
Hey. I know things...
...went south pretty fast, but...
...thanks a lot for bringing me that commercial.
The silver lining is you now have...
...thousands of new Kiki-Loki fans.
Listen, Vijay.
Thanks for trying to keep the whole Carter thing alive in LA.
But I think I'm ready to stop...
...being Charlie Carter.
I know.
But...
...before you decide,...
...before you take years and years of commissions out of my pocket,...
...I think you should read this.
It's the first episode of the next season of Call Carter.
- Vijay. - No, no, no. It's not just another...
body of the week, Harley.
Next season,...
...Charlie Carter finds out who really killed his mom.
It's good.
It's really good.
Just give it a read, okay?
