[Acorn original music]
[instrumental music]
I was starting to think you're gone to the other island?
I'm as adventurous as the next person, Harry.
But what is wrong with a nice downtown cafe?
Have you done something new with your hair?
-No. -Well, I like it.
You're very chipper, considering...
Considering my recent rise to fame, the Delgado case.
Considering 6 o'clock news
says that you're derelict in your duty,
and the op-ed calls you "Defective Dimwit."
-"Detective dimwit." -Oh!
No, no, no. I kind of like the picture they used.
Alright. What do you got for me, detective?
How much do you know?
Just what's been released and that,
uh, they're shooting you in the press?
Hey, I'm a public servant. It's nice to get
some public feedback.
Beatriz Delgado, 28 years old,
found stabbed to death on an Auckland's street.
She was here on a working holiday
from Argentina teaching tango classes
at an Auckland dance studio.
Prime Suspect is Gavin Hartley,
one of Beatriz's tango students.
On the night of her death,
Gavin invited everyone to a party at his place.
Nobody showed up except Beatriz.
Her body was found right outside Gavin's house.
Oh. So a spoon would be hook up?
The way they're spinning this in this in the news,
is that he killed her when she turned him down.
-Which you don't believe? -'Cause it doesn't make sense.
Even if it was a crime of passion,
why would he leave the body on the street all night?
To fake a mugging.
Except she didn't have any cash or cards stolen.
She was still wearing her jewellery .
-She even had her phone. -Hm.
[Harry]No sign of other injuries, apart from
a healing fracture on her right toe.
Was it true there was CCTV of Gavin leaving the house?
For a few minutes around the stabbing, yes.
Which looks bad when isolated, but without a weapon?
Okay. So, what about DNA?
[Harry]They just came from the studio.
Beatriz had about ten people's DNA on it, including Gavin's,
the other classmates, the instructors.
Alright, so, she wasn't waiting for a car
because otherwise it wouldn't have taken
till the next morning to find her body.
So, what was she doing on the street? Did she make some calls?
[Harry]She called her dad in Buenos Aires.
He didn't answer.
[Alexa]So what about the knife?
Five inches, single sided.
The type you'd find in any kitchen.
Though we did find camellia oil residue on the wound.
People use that to maintain blades.
That samurai shits!
So how much pressure are you really under?
Well, I'm not about to make an arrest
just because people are calling me names.
I love that about you.
[Alexa chuckles softly]
[theme music]
[speaking in foreign language]
[male #1]No father should have to bury his daughter.
I'm calling on the Auckland police
and Detective Harry Henare
to act in the murder of my daughter,
and to bring her killer to justice.
Not only was Beatriz Delgado,
a professional level tango dancer
with a master's in human rights law,
she volunteered at the shelter and the soup kitchen.
Well, she was amazing.
Can I take a look?
So, Beatriz went straight from the dance studio
to Gavin's party, but all of these people decided unanimously
not to go to a party they were invited.
Yeah, on a Tuesday night. Come on.
Who has parties on Tuesday nights?
Well, maybe someone did go.
Someone we didn't know was there.
[upbeat music]
Say hello to your brother for me, eh?
[chuckles softly]
[Reuben]Whoa! Is it my birthday, is it?
I got to be honest, Reuben. This is a bribe.
Well, fire away.
I need someone who knows how to talk to women.
Get some intel. Tell me what they're really thinking.
And I would give you some pointers, but it
looks like you know what you're doing already.
Ah, well, you know what they say about bartenders,
barbers and baristas.
People love telling us their problems.
-Exactly! -Oof!
I can't believe that you're picking Reuben over me.
[Alexa]I'm not picking him over you.
It's just... [scoffing]
people trust Reuben.
Yeah, well, people trust me.
By people, I mean bored women who like his muscles.
Hm, the way you like his muscles.
See? You do understand.
Besides, I'm taking a dance partner, Madison, not a bestie.
-How do I look? -I hate you.
-Good. -You look great.
[instrumental music]
We're planning a small November ceremony,
and the tango thing's your idea.
Wait, why was it my idea?
Because you're a closet romantic, Mr. Crowe.
Oh! So we're taking your last name, are we?
Yeah. Why not?
Just try to act like a couple?
[sighs] Okay.
Hi, hi. Are you guys new?
Ah, yes, I'm Alexa, and this is my fiance, Reuben.
Aw! Hilary. So nice to meet you both.
And, no need to be nervous.
We're like one big happy whanau here.
And Cesar is very good with beginners.
He's the best instructor in Australasia,
after his mother, of course.
-And you work here? -No, I'm a student.
But I have been coming a long time. Actually, the longest
out of anyone, I think.
I thought this place just opened?
Oh, it was a re-opening.
Oh, 'cause of renovations or something?
Something.
[solemn music]
Ah, anyway. I will let you two get settled in.
[music continues]
[Reuben]You know that I have two left feet, right?
[Alexa]How hard can it be? Just copy Cesar.
[Reuben]Uh-huh.
[Alexa]See, easy.
[Reuben]Yeah, right.
[music continues]
[Hillary]Oh! Isn't he amazing?
He really knows his giros.
My mother, the incomparable Eva Borges.
[all applauding]
People always say to me,
"Cesar, tango, tango is not dancing."
"Tango is sex standing up."
He said, that's his mother, right?
To them I say, sex standing up is sex standing up, huh?
You should try sometime.
If I said that to my customers, they'd report me.
Quite right too...
A vertical expression of horizontal desire.
Tango. tango is not about sex. No, tango...
tango is about passion.
Tango, when it was danced by the compadrones
on the streets of Buenos Aires...
was a knife fight between two men.
So, let's fight!
[laughing]
[piano music]
-Ms. Morel. -Oh.
[Cesar]Please.
Reg, take care of our new friend.
-How are you? -Hello. Hi.
Hmm. I was expecting to show off a little.
You're not letting me.
Well, I could stand on your foot.
Oh, I might like that.
[Alexa laughs]
Your wife?
Yeah. And your husband?
[Alexa]Uh, fiance?
Well, you guys all seem very tight.
-You hang out after class? -Yeah. Here and there.
Any after parties I can horn in on?
Oh, God. You're not one of these true crime freaks, are you?
What? Please.
Ah? Digging around about Beatriz.
Bet you've got a podcast.
Well, if I did, would you come on it?
A wee word of advice,
don't let Cesar hear what you're up to.
[Cesar]Change!
-Did Reg take care of you? -Oh, yes. Thank you.
Does every newcomer get that kind of coddling,
or am I special?
Definitely special.
Use those lines on men?
Men come here to make their girlfriends happy,
or to meet their next girlfriends.
It is a delicate ecosystem, like the Garden of Eden.
So that makes you God.
[laughs]
Nice.
Hilary!
I just want to say thank you so much for welcoming us.
-That was really nice. -Oh, I'm happy, too.
[Alexa]'Cause I was a little bit nervous
on account of what happened to that girl,
you know, Beatriz.
Did you know that the suspect was also a student?
He could have been obsessed with anyone in that class.
Honestly, it could have been you.
Look, I'm not being mean here,
but Beatriz was a bit of a flirt, you know.
I mean, I loved her. She was a great girl.
But Gavin so clearly had issues. I mean, he didn't even dance.
He just stayed on the side-lines taking creepy photos.
I mean, why give him the time of day?
Hey, look, I hope I'm not like stepping out of line here.
No, no. What?
But you and Ruben, you seem really happy together.
Oh, yeah, yeah, we are. Thank you.
Cesar likes to play games, and they don't always end well.
So, just watch yourself around him.
-Okay. [Hilary]Alright.
I've said too much. [chuckles] Have a good night. Let's go.
What was that all about?
That was a large slice of victim blaming
with a dollop of "Don't take my man."
[upbeat music]
[Harry]Cesar Borges left Argentina
when he was two with his mother, grew up in Melbourne,
moved to New Zealand ten years ago and opened the studio.
They hired Beatriz last year to help out with the work load.
And where was he the night she died?
Well, according to Cesar, Gavin never invited him to the party,
so he just went home with his mother.
To quote his exact words,
"If you're trying to get a woman's attention,
would you really want me in the room?"
Okay. Are- are we going in or not?
Thanks, Harry.
Okay, but listen, Gavin's been
hounded by the press for months on end, okay?
He's not going to want to talk to anyone, so, we're going to
have to do things a little bit differently.
We're going to have to do some very convincing acting.
Oww! Help, somebody.
Help! Can anybody hear me?!
I think I've sprained my ankle.
Oh, hi.
-Are you okay? -Uh-uh.
Come with me.
[Madison sighs]
Thank you.
[door closes]
[shutter clicking]
Did you take these photos?
Just a hobby. There you go.
[Madison gasps]
-Sorry. I'll get a tea towel. -No, no, no. That.
I'm a designer on it.
-You're a fan? -I'm a fanatic.
I'm number eight in the entire Asia-Pacific.
It is the smoothest interface that I've ever played.
Can I get an autograph, my friend Beth is gonna freak.
Can you leave?
Since you've made such a remarkable recovery?
-Look, Gavin, I don't-- -How do you know my name?
You're a reporter. You're a bloody...
This is unethical practice.
Ahh!
I'm with her.
Do you mind?
You know, if that camera had been angled correctly,
you would have got the whole stabbing
instead of just you leaving the house.
I heard something.
A possum or a cat, so I looked outside.
Look, why are we doing this?
It's over. I'm just waiting to be arrested.
You're not even going to try to clear your name?
I know a lost fight when I see one.
Fescue.
Double-dwarf fescue.
This is notoriously slow growing and hates foot traffic.
Now, a possum is not heavy enough
to damage the node growth,
but a human being grinding it under them
for a prolonged period...
That'd never hold up in court.
No, it won't.
But I like to think that I have good instincts
about these things, and Gavin,
I believe that somebody was waiting out
in that garden for Beatriz that night.
Is there anybody we should be looking at in that tango class?
Hilary.
She was queen of the studio before Beatriz came along.
And the whole thing with Cesar doesn't help.
What whole thing with Cesar?
Well, everyone thought there was something going on
between Hillary and Cesar.
Then Beatriz comes along and well...
Hilary pulled a Tonya Harding on Beatriz,
in front of everyone in class,
stomped on her foot, broke her toe.
Did you tell the police that?
I was a little preoccupied by the eight hour interrogation.
Did you get the stomp on tape?
[Madison]You ready?
Hey, can you hear this?
[door creaks]
-Just close it. -No.
It's in my head now kind of like tinnitus.
You can't take the bathroom door off.
Why not?
-Privacy. -"Privacy." What's that?
Anyway, come. Come. Take a look.
This is one of Gavin's dance videos.
[Cesar claps]
[Beatriz groans]
I didn't know she was there.
Look, I know what Gavin said,
but could it have been an accident?
No, we just did that spin in class. Hilary was flawless.
Well, with all the money she spends there, I would hope so.
It's close to a grand a month just on private lessons.
The next one's happening this evening.
Oh, book me in right after. [clicking tongue]
[upbeat music]
[tango music]
[applauding]
-Okay. Hour's up. -Ooh. Nope.
According to me, we still have two more minutes.
Gosh, I hope you didn't just lose a client.
-Where is your fiance? -He's working?
I'm a lucky man, then.
Getting paid to dance with you?
Sure you are.
[both chuckle]
No music?
I like to get a feel for each other first.
Okay.
One, two, three, four,
five, six, seven, eight.
So, what was that? Hilary seemed upset.
We had a disagreement.
Oh, she was trying to start something up again,
and you're not interested anymore?
There is a shelf life for everything.
Past a point and you're just delaying the inevitable.
-Oh. -Spin.
Oh, oh, oh!
[laughing] Very good.
And I guess, gentlemen, don't tell.
Who said I was a gentleman?
Ocho.
What about Beatriz?
Then again, maybe I am.
You know, normally, I like Arabica but this...
it's got some sort of chocolaty umami flavours , you know?
Made to be too big and bouncy. Argentinean.
You like Argentinean, don't you?
I'm just trying to look out for you.
Make sure that you don't make the same mistake that I did.
What mistake is that?
Being tricked into thinking that he cares.
Look, Ruben seems like a really great guy.
So, for the sake of your relationship,
I would stick to group classes.
Or better yet, find another dance school.
[dramatic music]
So according to Hilary's alibi, she went straight home
after the tango class, 10:30 or 11:00,
and she stayed there all night.
And three, two...
And Gavin says that Beatriz left his place about 11:30 p.m.
So, the police updated the murder
to no later than midnight.
Oh, there.
[Madison]10:49. And then her phone's GPS
places her at her apartment all night.
You know, it is possible to leave your house without phone.
I used to do it all the time.
Okay so, you think that she left her apartment without being
seen, went to Gavin's party without being seen,
and then killed Beatriz without being seen?
Well, let's find out.
[upbeat music]
-Oh, hi. Come here often? -Well, let's be honest.
Your mother's had it in for me since day one.
[whispers] Oh, sorry.
Yeah. Okay. Well, we'll talk about it later, alright?
Love you. Okay.
First floor, apartment 115.
Nice work, by the way. I love the bit about my mother.
[elevator bell rings]
Well, hello again.
I can't see many places to hide from those cameras.
Okay, give me a sec.
[whispers] Blind spot!
Are there any exits around?
Yeah. Yeah, there's a stairway.
[Madison] Back up. I can see you there.
[Alexa][whispering] Stairway.
Are you seeing me now?
[Hillary humming]
What the hell are you doing here?
You can stalk me, but I can't stalk you? Hang on, Mads.
-You're stalking me? -Well, little bit.
[Alexa]Hey, why'd you break Beatriz's toe?
You know, when you did that spin out of sequence
when changing partners two weeks before Beatriz's death.
Well, it wasn't actually like that.
That's why Cesar called it off
'cause you're violent.
Says the woman creeping outside my apartment.
Don't be silly. Not the same thing at all.
So, yesterday you followed me, you assaulted Beatriz, and now
I find out that you can get out
of your apartment without being seen.
That's an awful lot to leave out of your official alibi.
Who are you?
Good Lord! What is it with this guy Cesar?
He's like human catnip.
Oh, he doesn't do it for you?
Please, Madison. There is more to life than tango.
Horizontal or otherwise. What are you doing?
Ooh! The night Beatriz was murdered,
Hillary placed an Uber Eats order at 11:20 p.m.
Two mains, two drinks. So, either she was hungry...
Or she was with someone.
Look familiar?
Two options, Reg.
Either you graciously allow me to blackmail you
with this evidence of your affair.
I got no idea what you're talking about.
Or I invite myself in for dinner with you and the missus?
CCTV images are so clear nowadays.
Okay, so, according to Romeo,
Hilary ordered food after their activities
and she was in the apartment all night.
So no midnight sneak out to do murder?
No. I mean, I guess it makes sense
if sleeping with a married man was my only alibi.
Then I might not cop to it either.
Oh, you've never slept with a married man?
You mean, apart from the one who was married to me?
[upbeat music]
Look, Gavin, I said that I'm going to help you, and I am.
Well, you can help by having
your detective friend arrest Hilary.
Hilary has an alibi, and you don't.
When we give the police a name,
we want them to take us seriously.
Cesar then. He's, um...
He-he-he got jealous because Beatriz came to my house.
Gavin, I want you to relax, have a think and be reasonable.
Ta-da!
Sorry. You can't come.
But, my dress, my heels?
[Alexa]Check on Gavin.
He sounds erratic.
I didn't dress like this for Gavin.
Hi, Reuben. How are you? Hi.
-This won't take long. -Do what you do.
Evening.
Reg said that he was harassed while taking out the recycling.
Well, that's terrible.
I'm going to ask you this one more time.
Who are you?
I think you really were trying to warn me.
And I think that you really believe
everything you're saying when you say it...
bit like him.
[sighs]
[telephone ringing]
[Madison]Come on, Gavin. Pick up.
[telephone ringing]
Where are you?
Crap.
Can I get you a drink?
Malbec.
Gosh, that's beautiful.
Thank you. It was my mother's.
May I?
-Oh! Is that Cesar? -Yes, he was very fat.
Gosh, it's quite amazing.
You came here with absolutely nothing,
and look at everything you've built.
It must not have been easy.
Australia and New Zealand a lot easier
than where I come from.
[Cesar claps] Ladies and gentlemen, partners, please.
[tango music]
I need to tell you something.
Change.
Oh, God!
Remember the first class?
I said tango is a dance of combat...
adversity...
passion, yes?
But also anger,
which some people might argue is the same thing.
It's good to get your blood a little hot...
Officer Crowe.
That's detective retired, actually.
[Gavin]Out of my way. [crockery clanking]
Move.
-Gavin. It is good to see you. -Oh, shut the hell up.
-Oh, my God! -What are you doing here?
You said you were going to help me.
-Gavin, go home now. -All of you people...
You all hated me from the beginning. And you...
[Gavin scoffs]
You're a murderer!
[Alexa]Oh, Gavin.
[Cesar]You should leave.
You and your friend.
[Alexa]Gavin, out.
Congratulations. You made the rag.
This is defamation.
Well, not if they don't use your name and they haven't.
It's New Zealand, there are no secrets.
We don't have to do anything. In fact, I'm going to go talk
to my friend, the detective, and get him not to arrest you.
You didn't think that through, did you?
-Hey? Whoa! Whoa! Whoa! -Madison...
This is for your own good.
Are you serious?
[sighs]
-Are you okay there? -Yeah.
It's just a bit squeaky.
You should put some oil on the hinges.
[laughs] And a handyman, too.
You're welcome.
So, Hilary's out of the picture?
Yep. She was with Reg all night long. Solid alibi.
-I thought she was with Cesar? -That's over.
She was only with Reg to try to make Cesar jealous.
Didn't work.
-Huh. -You look confused.
Do you want a map?
It's funny how all roads lead back to Cesar.
Whatever he had with Beatriz, this thing with Hilary.
If enough of the webs start shaking on the outside,
you start looking at the centre.
You ever seriously look at him?
No. Gavin sucked up all the air in the room.
Besides, no motive, no weapon.
-Not to mention his alibi. -Well, his mother's his alibi.
And mother's will do a lot of things for their sons, right?
[phone chimes]
[chuckles]
Hello.
Speak of the devil.
-You're not going, are you? -Absolutely not.
You know, I'm still waiting.
Waiting for what?
An apology for ruining last night.
[chuckles softly]
Wait, you made all of this?
When we lived in Australia,
my mother had no one to teach her recipes to except me. So...
Well, why did you come down here? Why not America or Europe?
[Cesar]She wanted to get as far away as possible.
It sounds like she had a hard life.
It is easier now. She has me.
Did you cook like this with Beatriz?
She liked my humitas.
How's it going?
-Oh, it's going. -What the hell is that?
Sounds like you got a fight club going there.
Well, then I better not talk about it.
-And you? Still alive? -Yeah, still alive.
But I've got to go. He's cooking steak.
Oh, I love a man who can cook.
Unless he's a murderer, of course. [chuckles]
-I'm done. -Oh, don't be a sore loser.
Hey, Madison. Thanks.
For literally beating you at your own game?
For talking to me like I'm a person.
Beatriz was the same. She knew I liked her,
but she never made me feel like a freak about it.
Put you back into it this time.
Actually, can I use the bathroom?
You don't have to trust me but...
do you really think I'm stupid?
[shutter clicking]
[Eva]Deer antler.
Argentinean specialty.
-I didn't know you were home. -I'm heading out. Evening class.
Oh. That shouldn't be there.
Cesar's first competition.
Before this, I was going to push him for medical school.
Oh, 'cause you were a nurse?
A long time ago.
He would have been a terrible doctor.
The only blood he can stand is
whatever is coming out of that steak.
Go. He's waiting for you.
Okay. Night.
[dramatic music]
I met him last year and at first I thought he wasn't my type,
but turns out he was just misunderstood.
Like you, I suppose.
What is taking so long?
[Gavin]It's hard to go when
someone's listening outside the door.
I'm not listening. I'm telling you my life story
to drown out the sound effects.
[window squeaking]
Wait, you wouldn't?
The oldest trick in the book. Gavin, I trusted you.
[Cesar] My mother likes you, you know?
-Is that prerequisite. -Always.
A mama's boy, huh?
[Cesar laughs]
So, what does she do? Hole up in a bedroom with earplugs
when you're entertaining Beatriz and Hilary?
No. Hilary's never been here. Beatriz, a few times.
She was a stranger in a strange land.
She needed someone who spoke her language.
When was the last time she was here?
Ah, that night.
The night that it happened.
She wanted to borrow a book from the library,
and then we had dinner.
And after that?
[Cesar]We went to the studio.
She had already turned me down.
We were just friends. That is all.
[Cesar laughs]
I appreciate your faith in my powers of seduction,
but it does happen.
People decide whether they're going to sleep with you
in three seconds.
Love, love is hard.
Attraction. Serotonin.
Oh, I see. That's the play.
Dinner and pseudoscience at Casa Borges.
You tell me? Should I take it from your surprise
about Beatriz rejecting me to mean
you wouldn't have?
Oh, come on.
I'm hardly competing with the likes of Hilary and Beatriz.
Ah.
I prefer older women.
[Alexa]Argentinean olive oil?
Tea seed oil.
It has high smoking points. It's good for searing.
Three minutes each side.
There's lots of things you can do in six minutes.
Six minutes isn't as impressive as you think.
[Cesar laughing]
You know, I really like you.
[phone ringing]
Give me a sec.
Harry. Hey, it's not a good time.
-You're not home? -No, I'm at dinner.
Gavin's been arrested.
Police are pressing charges tonight.
They caught Gavin at the airport
trying to board a flight to Montenegro,
which doesn't have an extradition treaty with us.
So the judge is refusing to let him out on bail
because he's an active flight risk.
He jammed the bathroom door closed.
Look, what about Cesar? Did you find anything?
Does this mean that you're going to put the door
back on the hinges?
Tea seed oil.
It's what Cesar uses to cook with.
AKA, camellia oil.
The oil they found in Beatriz's stab wound.
Do you know how many people use camellia oil?
Oh, no, I don't, Harry. How many?
[Harry]That was rhetorical. -Oh.
Enough for it to be circumstantial at best,
without an actual weapon, or a motive.
Well, he did say that Beatriz had turned him down.
Spurned lovers.
It's a start.
You don't think so?
A week ago, maybe.
[instrumental music]
Just terrible business practice, I think...
-Reggie. -Yeah.
I'll catch up.
This is a restaurant. I could have you arrested.
No, then you'd have to do some explaining to your
wife and that'd get really hairy, wouldn't it?
-I've got a lunch. -This will be quick.
So, Beatriz was not dancing the night she died.
What was she doing at that event?
-That was three months ago. -Memory, rack it.
She was with that creep, Gavin.
Then he got it into his head to ask us all over to his place.
No, thanks.
Then she spent the rest of the night with Cesar's mum.
So, Beatriz was close to Eva?
Well, it helps to have the mother on side
when you're sleeping with the son. [chuckles]
The closest in how I'd put it. Not with Cesar or Eva.
God knows what Hilary saw in him.
-He's...he's cold. -Why do you say that?
Well, the girl who works for you gets killed,
and you don't even shut up shop out of respect?
But I thought they did. There-there was a re-opening?
No, they only closed last month 'cause they got sick
of the reporters.
Went down South, him and Eva.
I mean, he likes to pretend like he's all torn up,
just so a woman will feel sorry for him.
But, the truth is that some men just don't value women.
Sick really.
It's misogyny.
Right.
[door opens]
Do you often do this?
Showing up at women's houses uninvited?
[laughs] Well, your address was on the registry
when you signed up, and fortune favours bold.
-But I'm engaged. -Ah! Yes. Reuben, the fiance.
This cover story business is getting a little dull.
Did you meet the Delgados when they were here?
-Why do you ask? [Alexa]No, that's right.
You were in the South Island. I forgot.
I just thought, you know, strangers in a strange land.
You might have stayed to meet them.
Those need water.
-Hi. -Oh.
-I was just about to come home. -Reuben, coffee.
And that's why I'm marrying her.
Okay. What do we know about the Delgados? Beatriz's parents?
Is there any reason that Cesar would want to avoid them?
Apart from the fact that maybe he killed their daughter,
you mean?
Francisco Delgado.
Just sources are, when I mentioned Beatriz's
parents, he bolted.
Oh, hold on.
You know Francisco is a human rights lawyer...
turns out he's not just any lawyer.
[Alexa] Ooh. He famous.
Specializes in chasing down human rights violations
during the dirty war.
This general's is 21st successful prosecution.
-Dirty war? -'76 to '83.
Phone, phone, phone.
[Madison] Why do you need so many pictures of your bread?
Posterity. Here.
-Check it. -What am I looking at?
Harry said they left Argentina to escape the junter,
same junter that Delgado is putting into jail
one by one for war crimes.
Now, if you are Eva, this guy would be your hero.
Why wouldn't you want to meet him?
Because you're not who you say you are.
Beatriz was calling her father when she was murdered.
I think it's time we found out why.
[instrumental music]
My footwork needs finessing.
[tango music]
Hand.
-I've reconsidered. -Back step.
That second date.
[music continues]
I don't think that is a good idea.
Why not?
What's changed between yesterday and today?
Turn.
It's unprofessional.
Because I'm your student?
Because you're sticking your nose where it doesn't belong.
Of course.
Was your mother always a tango dancer?
You should stop being so nosy about other people's families
and focus on your giros.
Shoddy.
No one's ever said that about my girosbefore.
So, shall we talk about Beatriz's family then?
A woman is dead, let her rest.
How can she rest when her killer is still out there?
What are you implying?
Have you heard of the Escuela Superior
de Mecanica de la Armada?
You can go, or I can call security.
AKA, the Naval Petty Officer School of Mechanics,
AKA, a concentration camp in central Buenos Aires
for political prisoners.
Get out.
There were only five midwives at the ESMA.
Two of them are dead,
one of them is in custody,
and two of them are wanted by the Argentinean government
for aiding and abetting, the kidnapping of children
during the dirty war.
And one of their names was Lucrecia Cebellos.
-Your real name. -Get back to the office.
I'll handle this.
[Alexa]It wasn't just any box in that study.
It was a hardwood and deer antler box,
custom made to hold a gaucho knife,
five inches, single sided blade.
One of only two things you brought from Argentina.
What was it you said?
Your mother had had a hard life
and you wanted to make things easy for her.
You want to protect her from her past.
I have no idea what you're talking about.
Camellia oil. It was found on Beatriz's wounds.
That's the oil that your mother uses to tend the knife.
Did you kill her?
-Yes. -No!
Yes, I killed her.
No, you didn't.
Oh now, you-you-you come into our lives
and you dig up these things from 40 years ago.
Things that don't even matter.
-"Things that don't matter." -Don't. Don't.
Please don't. Just...
just arrest me. Just do it. Please.
This is the only other thing
that your mother brought from Argentina, this picture.
And Beatriz saw it at your house
the night she came to dinner.
That photo is one of the only surviving pictures
taken from inside the ESMA when it was active.
That photo, as Francisco Delgado told me last night,
it's been sitting on his desk since Beatriz was in law school.
She recognized you and you knew it.
So you got Gavin's address from the registry,
and you went to Gavin's house where you knew she would be.
You saw her on her phone.
And when Beatriz left to go home,
you were the one that Gavin heard in his yard.
And then...
[screams]
She was calling her father.
She wanted to tell him what she'd seen.
He never picked up, but you knew it was only a matter of time.
And ultimately, the threat wasn't against your life
or the life you've built here, but the person
you love most in all the world would find out what you did...
and what you are.
You have no baby photos. You have no father.
Because Eva took you from a prisoner at the camp
where she worked.
-She stole you. -Don't!
I just saved him.
It's not...
Come on, mother. That's-that's-that's not true.
That's-that's... That's not true.
-Just-just listen-- -No, no.
-Stop crying. It is not true. -Listen to me.
-She's lying. -I love you. You're my boy.
You are my son. I love you. I've always loved you.
[speaking in foreign language]
It'll be okay.
[instrumental music]
It wasn't personal, you know.
I know.
You know, at first, I hated you for what you did to her.
I wanted to hurt you...
like you hurt us.
And then today I saw him, Beatriz's father.
You ever seen a dead man walking?
A few times.
Eva is still your mother.
You can't erase the last 40 years.
You cannot switch it on and off.
It's part of the burden of living.
We could try to look for your biological parents.
Grandparents...
You don't have to do this alone.
It is a really nice day.
Yeah, it is.
[ominous violin music]
[tango music]
-Numero quatre! -Hey.
Spanish and French.
Oh, we've got Spanish tapas, and French wine.
So, they bullied you into it, huh?
Well, we made an arrest. Gavin's in the clear.
I get to tell my team, "I told you so."
What makes you think I don't want to party?
Oh, just everything about you.
[scoffs]
Oh, Harry. Oh, Harry!
What? Are you scared, I'm going to show you up?
Yeah, real scared.
-Oh. What?! -Oh!
[Madison chuckles]
A man of many skills.
Oh! Where the hell did you learn that?
-[indistinct] -You've been holding out on me.
-Yeah? -Yeah, you have.
[laughs]
Who are you, Harry Henare?
[all laughing]
