So, we flew in a mastermind to help him. Well, did you buy a home . Yes. Then id press there. Intuit turbotax. He died between midnight and 2 a. M. Body temp says he wasnt outside more than two hours. Yothink those bumps on his head did the trick . Indirectly. Actually, he drowned. His clothes were dry when we found him. He drowned on his own vomit. Tox screen turned up high levels of cocaine and alcohol, but not enough to overdose. Any sign he put up a fight . Nothing under his nails. No bruising to the face. But it does look like hed been twisting some nice sheets before he died. Silk fibers from the inside of his clothing. Probably transferred from his skin. Fine silk, actually. Any indication he had sex . No foreign hair or residue, but im gonna bet he was. And he was dressed post mortem. His underwears inside out, and his belt missed two loops. Drugs and he got his swerve on. Thats a hell of a night. Lets go. Thank you. Im sorry. I dont know where my sonas two nights ago. Did he ever mention anybody that would want to harm him . Enemies maybe . I wouldnt know. How about a girlfriend . Derek and i didnt talk much lately. Were you having problems . I was very proud of derek. He was making more money than i could ever dream to. But he worked through his sisters wedding and his mothers 50th birthday. A hundred hours a week. He said fools dont retire at 40. Hey, joe got a pay stub here 300,000. In the note section, it says, our secret, s. K. Do you have any idea who s. K. Is, mr. Miller . Has to be his boss sophia keener. The secret was money. His bonus was bigger than the other associates. Why hide that . Thats banking, dective. Its not about how much you need. Its about how much the other guy gets and making sure you get more. Can you tell us why derek got more than the others . Oh, he had great potential. It was just our way of telling him to hang in there until he started making real money. 300,000 aint real money . Its a lot of money. But when your managing directors ly four years older and making 5 million, its easy to feel underappreciated, especially to someone who worked so hard. Did you set dereks bonus . As managing partner in the firm, i do have a say, but its done by committee. The other associates in his class maxed out at 150,000. Do they know that . I doubt it. No one ever asks the other guys number and no one tells. Last thing you want to find out is that someone else made more. Was derek having any problems with coeagues . Im sorry. I dont know. Do you know where was friday night . Detective, 300 people work for me. I know few of them personally. But bankers with fat wallets know how to have fun, and im sure somebody he worked with can tell you where he was. Best hamachi in the world. There were 12 of us.

What happened at the club . 100 lap dances. 400 bottles of vodka. Standard stuff. Derek get into it with aone . No, but he was acting pretty cocky. Was that about his bonus . Implying that he maxed out. From what we hear, e amount he got would make somebody want to take a swing at him. Not me. I didnt even hear his number. And i maxed out on bonus, too, so theres no way that derek made more money than i did. How much did you get . 90,000. Derek got 300,000. Thats bull. Theres no way that derek deserved that much. Now i understand why lucas wanted to kick his ass. Lucas brody. Him d derek had words at the baby doll. Wheres his office . Its down the hall, but hes not in it. I havent heard from him since friday. I think he quit. When was the last time you saw brody . Stumbling in here drunk sunday morning. But im not just about to open that door. Hell sic a lawyer on me. Dont let that bother you. Were authorized. Just open the door and back away. [sighs] brody, get up. Police. We need to talk to you about derek miller. Get up. Come on. Wheres the shower in this place . Dereks dead . How . You dont know nothing about it . No. When was the last time you saw him . Come on. Me . I didnt kill him. Listen, we heard that derek might have let slip his little bonus numbers, so you were mad at derek because of the money. You got in a fight and things got out of hand. No, hold on. Look all that bonus told me was what a sham morgan keener is andand that talent has nothing to do with who gets fat. So what do you gotta do to get fat . Nail the boss, i guess. What does that mean . Two months ago in hong kong, i went up to her hotel room to slip some research under her door, and i saw derek walking out. Shirt untucked, zipping up his pants. Did you tell anybody . Of course not. Keener w about to sign my bonus check. I still thought i was getting a taste. Was lucas brody trying to throw you off track . Well, cell phone use has him at 10 different bars from friday to sunday, but nothing near the dump scene. Anyone confirm him at the bars . Every single bartender. Seems he couldnt stop bitching about his bonus. Yeah, just fifty grand. Poor kid. Hey, listen. Derek millers cell phone. But they work together, so that doesnt necessarily prove an affair, but wed like to go talk to her. Not without evidence of the affair. Youll be knee deep in lawyers in two seconds. You working on sophias story . Shethe bosss daughter. She has one kid. Shes been married to robert white for 10 years. Presently separated. Three months ago, she filed a restraining order against him. Threatened her with a knife. According to the police report, she went over to his house and picked up their daughter. He begged for reconciliation, and when she refused, he took out a knife. He own a white suv . No, and neither does she. Any priors . Nope. Guess theres a fit time for everything. I was in the kitchen cutting an apple. We argued for a couple of minutes. That was it. Day later, out of nowhere, i get that order. Had you ever been violent with her before . Never.

No, i didnt, sweetheart. Can you go back to your room . Okay . We about done . Derek miller worked for your wife. We heard that they were romantically involved. I wouldnt know anything about it.

Doing all kinds of jobs. And the best place to find the job thats right for you is on the worlds numberone job site. Deed. I didnt kill anyone. Okay, man, your white suv, its under a microscope in our lab. We found dereks blood and his hair. Explain that. I dont know what youre talking about. We know he was in that vehicle. He was in the back of the suv, and he was either dead or dying when you hauled him to the dump site. So why dont you just tell us where you and sophia met up . Come on, rob. Your wife humiliated you. She was sleeping with a younger black man. You dont think we can sympathize with that . Maybe you just wanted to talk to derek, tell him that you still loved sophia, that he should back off. He was coked up, things got out of hand, and you defended yourself. I told you i wasnt jealous of sophia. Look, man, just because you keep saying that dont make it true. Im seeing someone. Weve been together for five months. We were together when youre saying this man died. Well, the caretaker didnt see you with anyone at the Country House except your daughter. I snuck her in late after my daughter went to sleep. I dont think katies ready to see me with someone new. Were gonna need her name and phone number robert and i have been dating about five months. And he kept you secret from his daughter . Ive met katie, but she doesnt know were sleeping together. The custy fights been very hard on her. Were you with him friday night . Yes. All night . At their house in sag harbor. I came in around 11 00 and planned to leave before katie was up. The thing is, we know that robert wasnt in the country all night. We checked his cell phone usage. He made a phone call from a manhattan site at around 4 00 that morning. He called you. Did you know that the young man that roberts wife was dating was murdered . You think robert did that . Why would you lie to us about being with him . Robert wouldnt hurt anyone. Do you know if he fought with his wife about her boyfriends . His wifealled the house around 2 00 in the morning. After he hung up, he said he had to go into the city to see her. Why . He wouldnt say. And youre sure it was 2 a. M. When she called. I looked at the clock. When did he get back . After 6 00. How did he explain the trip . He didnt. But i know he didnt kill anyone. Well, look, we found this guys dna in roberts truck. So if youre covering for your boyfriend, you can be charged as an accessory. I know he left at 2 a. M. , but if there was evidence in his car, i have something that may explain it. Two days after dereks murder, sophia keener gave robert 10 million in cash and sole custody of their daughter. For a year, she was holding firm to half a million and joint custody. And natalie was certain that robt was with her until after dereks time of death . And his ez pass clocked in at the triboro at 3 20 a. M. And so youre thinking that robert helped her dispose of the body and then got 10 million and custody for the effort. Its not a bad deal. Well, any hint why sophia would want to kill derek . Sophias employment agreement with morgan keener contains a mality clause. If she slept with a subordinate, it would violate that clause and they can can her. Causing her to lose millions in cash and stocks. Maybe he was trying to blackil her. Yeah, but dereks sleeping with a beautiful woman. Hes getting fasttracked in his career. Why screw it up . Shes the managing partner of the firm. Thats a major Sexual Harassment suit. But how could she lose her job with her father at the helm of the company . Because daddy is only the chairman of the board. No Public Company would want a scandal like that. What was sophias alibi for the night of the murder . Her daddy. She said she was having a meeting with him in his home late. Well, see if you can shake that loose. Lets go talk to daddy. Why would she spend the night . We work late. Id sent my driver home. It was not uncommon. Its a little odd, dont you think . Call it sympathy for an old widower. Do you recall your daughter ever leaving the townhouse during the evening . No, she was in all night. I recall setting the house alarm before we retired. What time was that . 1 30. Is there any chance she stepped out afterwards . Not without knowing the disable code, whh only i know. The reason we ask is because there was a phone call made to her country home around 2 a. M. From a pay phone in your neighborhood. Now, the spot is equidistant between your two homes, so if you can account for her going out to make that phone call, thatd be great. Why would she leave to make a phone call . There are over 20 telephones in my home, and she has a cell. Well, the call wasnt made from any of those. Well, perhaps someone else called her country home. Oh, were certain she made the call. And were certain of that, too. Mr. Keener, if youre providing a false alibi for your daughter, aint enough money in the world to keep you ouof jail. My daughter had nothing to do with that mans death. Any more questions, talk to my attorney. Yes, sir. That dude was lying. Look, sophia was at her place with derek. She brained him. She ran out of the house to get some help, and she paid for itwith 10 million and a custody agreement. Well, think about it. Derek millers dying, and she has the forethought to use a pay phone . Thats coldblooded. I think it runs in the family. We gotta get a warrant. Well, mrs. Keener knows how to spend her dough. Got good maid, too. No blood or tissue anywhere. But this tells me that there was another carpet here recently, about three inches shorter. Are there any glasslivers on the floor, maybe from a wine bottle . How much do you think this carpet costs . I dont know. About 15 grand. How much you wanna bet she didnt get rid of the old one . She said it was grape juice on it or something. Did it look like she tried to clean it . Yeah. It was all smeared. But they dont call me miracle manny for nothing. What you mean . Wheres the stain . I got it out. Damn. You cleaned it already . Someone drops you 500 for doing a speedy job, you do a speedy job. Yeah. Thanks. Look, we should get it to the lab, but i dont know if theres enough blood left for a dna test. Robert dont know that. There was a stain on the rug the size of a grapefruit, and its all smeared because e tried to clean it up. But the Lab Confirmed that it was derek millers blood. So i dont know anything about this. Question isnt whether you participated in the murder. We know that you got there after he was dead. Unless you want to spend 20 years for an accessory charge when youre really only on the hook for illegal disposal of a body, which, believe it or not, can be knocked down to a misdemeanor. You can walk on that. Or face those 20 year
