03E03 - Let the Seller Beware
Peter Berglund and his girl-friend have naughty fun in Cal and Monica Newman's fabulous house, to which the real estate agent hands out the combination, then discover Monica's corpse with a bullet trough the temple. Husband Cal and his 15-year old son Max are missing; Nick's dive finds Cal in the pool, identified by Max's mother Jeri Newman. A valuable sculpture is missing, and similar thefts abound in houses sold through broker Augie Heitz, who also appears in a reflection on a sexy video left by Monica. Hunky, professional pool-boy Jack Jarvis reports that Cal often had rows with son Max, and admits taking screws from the pool filter as an excuse to return, hoping Monica would show even more of an interest in him. Greg finds Monica had sex with still another, unidentified man. The Augie on the video turns out to be cardboard; Archie finds a reflection of the actual cameraman: Max, but he doesn't quite fit the MO - Sara is called in on her day off to examine the corpse of Amanda 'Mandy' Kirk, a dead soccer cheerleader at a school who was bitten and has the infection E. coli, but the teethmarks don't fit the only boy known to be infected with it.
