[DRAMATIC MUSIC]
Welcome back, America.
We're down to our final two contestants.
And in a few moments,
we'll announce
the next Miss Glamour Globe.
But first, let's check in
with our two finalists
and see how they're feeling.
Miss Honduras, big night for you.
Tell me, how does it feel to be
a finalist on this stage tonight?
I'm really excited.
It's such an honor to be here.
Wonderful answer.
Miss Philippines, same question for you.
I am so grateful
to be standing here tonight.
All of us are winners.
Wonderful answers.
One more question.
Now, the winner
is gonna be able
- Uh-oh.
- [DOG PANTING]
Looks like Milo's really taken to you.
Yeah, I don't even have
to bribe him with food.
I just spend time with him.
- Aw, he likes bacon.
- [CHUCKLES]
No, I'm not complaining.
Thank you for dinner. It was lovely.
Of course.
And I'm sorry. You're right.
Uh, I know I've been MIA lately,
but I do have a special night
planned for us this week.
Ooh.
I got us tickets
to the Rockettes' Christmas
Spectacular at Radio City.
- I know it's corny.
- No, I love corny.
I actually love Christmas.
Especially if it's with you.
- It'll be fun.
- [CHUCKLES SOFTLY]
But since I know that
you can be bribed with food
Yes.
I got us a table at Sardi's
for after the show.
[CHUCKLES SOFTLY]
[DOG BARKS]
[SIGHS]
Hold that thought. I'll be right back.
I just gotta take him out really quick.
[DOG BARKING]
Oh. Don't be too long.
They're about to crown the winner.
Yeah, not for that,
if you know what I mean.

to show all the little girls
everything that
we've been working on.
Lovely. Well, good luck
to both of you tonight.
- Thank you.
- BOTH: Thank you.
I've enjoyed getting to
know these talented ladies.
And while I'd like
to keep getting to know them,
it's time to announce the winner.
Remember,
if for some reason the winner is unable
to fulfill the duties
of Miss Glamour Globe,
the first runner-up
will step in and assume
her responsibilities.
The first runner-up is
Miss Philippines!
Our next Miss Glamour Globe
is Miss Honduras!

Congratulations.

Congratulations.
- Congratulations.
- Thank you.
So happy for you.
There you are, dear.
- Thank you.
- Congratulations.
Ladies and gentlemen,
give it up for
the 2024 Miss Glamour Globe!

[TENSE MUSIC]
♪
Oh, my oh! Oh, no.
Oh.
- [ALL GASPING]
- Somebody get the medic!
- Now!
- You're OK, you're OK.
You're OK.
I haven't listened
to Isobel's voicemail yet.
- What do we got?
- Last night, Miss Honduras
was brazenly killed during
a live pageant broadcast.
I heard about that.
So it wasn't a heart attack?
Definitely not.
This was handed to us
because a nerve agent was used.
Now according to our WMD coordinator,
it was a binary chemical weapon.
- Binary?
- I had to ask, too.
It's when two separate chemicals
are harmless on their own,
mix them together,
and they become lethal.
The lab found traces of
methylphosphonyl difluoride,
or DF, on the winner's sash
that Miss Honduras was wearing.
Now, when mixed with isopropyl alcohol,
it becomes sarin, which can
kill a person in minutes.
The constricted pupils and aspiration
are classic signs of sarin poisoning.
Her blood tested positive for it.
So Miss Honduras was exposed
to the DF chemical first
and then someone exposed her
to the alcohol.
Right, but we haven't ID'ed
the source of the alcohol yet,
but she likely made contact
with it right before she collapsed.
Miss Canada is actually hospitalized
because of her exposure to it.
If this happened on live TV,
there should be plenty
of camera coverage.
Yeah, there is, but it isn't helpful.
I mean, any one of those
contestants could have delivered it.
So the contestant roster
just became our suspect list.
Uh, yes, but some of them
have flown back to their home countries.
How the hell did that happen?
The pageant went under
new management last year,
got a different president.
And word is it's been
a hot mess ever since.
What do you know about
the pageant world, Miss Texas?
Not as much as you.
Perfect. You and Ray
go talk to the new president.
Hana, take a closer
look at Miss Honduras.
See if you can figure out
why she's being targeted.
Do we have a list of these contestants?
Yeah, right here.
[DRAMATIC SUSPENSEFUL MUSIC]
We need to talk to all of them.
While we're at it,
let's also ask them how
they'd end world hunger.

[EQUIPMENT BEEPING]
Your doctor said you'll be able
to head home to Montreal soon.
But I don't know if I'll be able
to leave this nightmare behind.
[INHALES SHAKILY]
When I told
my mom I wanted to do pageants,
she warned me how poisonous
other girls could be.
I didn't think she meant it literally.
You got to know the other women, right?
Who had it out for Miss Honduras?
No one I can think of.
She seemed nice.
But it's hard to make real friends
when everyone wants to be the winner.
Can you think of anyone who
would be that upset about losing?
I do pageants for the money.
But for some girls, it's their identity.
Like, Rosa Martinez,
she's Miss Philippines.
The first runner-up?
Yes.
When she made the final three,
she acted like she had it in the bag.
[APPROACHING FOOTSTEPS]
I came as soon as I could.
I brought your phone charger
and some toiletries.
The hospital stuff dries your skin out.
I'm sorry. I didn't mean to interrupt.
Annelise Nielsen, Miss Norway.
Remy Scott. Mr. FBI.
[LAUGHS]
I spoke with another agent earlier.
Wasn't as funny as you.
I don't remember
seeing you up on the stage.
Well, I didn't make the final ten, so.
Did you tell them about Rosa, too?
No.
You think she could have done this?
I don't know.
She is kind of catty, but [SCOFFS]
Then again, here I am calling her catty.
She's mean.
And she knows dangerous people.
What do you mean?
Rosa's from a rough part of Manila.
It's part of her story, her brand,
how she pulled herself up
from the gang-ridden slums
and became successful.
She talks like she still
knows those gangsters.
Who knows what they can do?
Have you ever seen any
of these people around?
[PHONE RINGING]
I don't think so.
Excuse me. I have to take this.
Thank you for your time.
Nice meeting you.
♪
I just found a bunch of emails
Miss Honduras was sending
to the other contestants.
She's complaining about the way
the pageant's treating them
and wanting them to file
a formal complaint with her.
I'm sure that pissed off the organizers.
Enough to kill her?
Is Rosa Martinez still in the country?
As far as I know. Why?
Track her down
and send me the location.
I'm on it. I'll call you back.
♪
A few previous pageant contestants
have also come forward
to talk about the toxicity
of the environment here.
What's another word for
previous pageant contestant?
Loser.
Kind of proving their point.
They had no point. It's all rumors.
Not to Miss Honduras.
She was about to file
a formal complaint.
[SCOFFS]
I bet you wouldn't have
heard a peep out of her
after winning the crown.
Well, we won't be
hearing a peep out of her ever
because she's dead.
[SIGHS]
I'm guessing you didn't
look into the claims.
I was too busy
planning the actual pageant.
You may not be able to tell
judging by what all we've
accomplished around here,
but we're operating this thing
on a shoestring budget.
It's just me and Geraldo.
Why isn't he here helping you pack up?
That's a good question.
I've been calling him all morning,
but he's not answering.
When's the last time you spoke to him?
[SIGHS] I don't know.
It's been so hectic.
Um
we had a nice moment backstage
before everything went to hell.
He was giving me the sash
to hand to the winner.
So he handled the sash, too.
How long has he worked for you?
A few months.
I hired him after I became president.
You have his employee file?

Uh, here. This was his application.

Thank you.

- What's up, Ray?
His name is Geraldo Naguit.
We have his file, his picture,
and Nina's getting up on his phone.
Before he started with the pageant,
he was a Filipino diplomat.
Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait.
Rosa Martinez is Miss Philippines.
- Do they know each other?
- I'd say yes.
They both booked the same
flight back to Manila in two hours.
But Rosa hasn't
checked out of her hotel yet.
We're on our way there now.
Maybe they're not together,
but they both have motive.
Rosa is upset that
Miss Honduras beat her,
Geraldo is upset that she was
about to make a complaint
about the pageant.
Hey, Ray. I got him.
Hey, hold on a second.
We got him on his phone.
He's moving, but in traffic
about a mile away from here.
Go. We're headed to the hotel.
Do not lose him.

I didn't do anything to those girls!
How many more are there? Huh?
Who else did you kill
besides Miss Honduras?
What?
- W-w-what are you talking about?
- Oh, come on.
You are the last person to
handle the sash that poisoned her.
Are you crazy?
I had nothing to do with that.
- I did nothing wrong!
- No?
Why the quick flight back to Manila?
Because I don't need
any of this trouble!
I never harassed anyone.
But that's what I'm being accused of.
You would think a woman who
puts herself in a pageant
wouldn't mind being called pretty, huh?
Like you. You're beautiful.
Hey!
Where's Rosa?
Miss Philippines.
You guys were scheduled
to be on the same flight.
I-I-I don't know.

It's sarin poisoning.
Get the hell out of here.
Get ERT and the Hazmat team
up here right away.
Have them check everything,
including those gloves.
We need to see your security cameras
and a list of every person who
had access to that room.
The pageant booked four women
to a suite.
Miss Martinez shared that room
with Grace Scherbing,
Annelise Nelin, and Milica Doric.
Grace Scherbing is Miss USA.
She's been interviewed and cleared.
We met Annelise at the hospital.
She's Miss Norway.
I'm guessing Milica Doric
is Miss Serbia?
Yes.
I remember the flag pin she was
wearing when she checked in.
Miss Doric of Serbia.
She's also been interviewed and cleared.
Check to see if anyone
was wearing white gloves
at that pageant.
One sec.
Evelyn, you should take a look at this.
Go with him.
Rosa Martinez, Miss Philippines,
was wearing white gloves.
She hugged Miss Honduras 20
seconds before she collapsed.
Maybe that's how
the alcohol got administered.
If Rosa Martinez is our killer,
she could have gotten sloppy
by touching the gloves while packing up,
not realizing she was
still carrying traces of the DF
she put on the sash last night.
But she was runner-up.
She was on stage the whole night.
How'd she get access
to the winner's sash?
- Guys.

We don't have a locker room,
so our employees usually arrive
and leave in their uniforms.
I don't know this person.
I do.
How? Her face isn't visible.
I'd recognize that "it girl" anywhere.
That's Annelise Nelin,
Miss freaking Norway.
Her passport is fake and so is she.
Annelise Nelin's real name
is Harper Dowar.
She's an American citizen
and a graduate of Columbia Law School.
Her parents are deceased
and she lives in a brownstone
in Murray Hill worth $4 million.
Fancy digs in a fancy neighborhood.
She looks completely different.
The pageant still
should have caught this.
Uh, it wasn't just them.
Look, Harper won a qualifying
pageant in Oslo last month.
Norwegian authorities didn't
catch the fake passport either.
That's a good fake.
Looks expensive.
Seems like a lot of effort to try
to get close to Miss Honduras.
Why would she wanna target her?
Miss Honduras was very outspoken
about the Honduran president, Vargas.
She posted all over
social media about it.
Yeah, he's an authoritarian
who took power by military force.
He brutally punishes anybody
who opposes him.
So we think that Harper was hired
by the Honduran government
to take out the pageant winner?
Dissident pageant winner.
- They have motive.
- [PHONE CHIMES]
They have the resources to get
her a fake ID, and a nerve agent.
They've targeted dissidents
outside the country before.
A splashy public murder on live TV?
That's a good way of sending
a message to your opponents.
The lab detected
isopropyl alcohol in the gloves
found in the hotel room
along with traces of DF
on a vial found
in the bathroom trash can.
When we interviewed Miss USA, she said
Harper gave Miss Philippines
those gloves to wear.
Said they'd suit her outfit better.
Yeah, she set Miss
Philippines up to take the fall.
It was Harper all along.
A U.S. citizen with no criminal history.
What's her connection to Honduras?
According to the CPB, none.
She's never even been there.
I ran both passports.
Put a BOLO out on Harper.
We'll visit the Honduran consulate
first thing in the morning.
[TENSE MUSIC]
I simply don't know how
we can be helpful to you.
Several people known
to oppose the current president
have been killed.
Miss Honduras was just a pretty face
peddling silly ideas.
Regardless of what
you think of her ideas,
she was killed by this woman,
Harper Dowar, AKA Annelise Nelin.
Do you think it's a coincidence
that the president's critics
are being targeted?
That's a very serious accusation.
It was a question, not an accusation.
You say she's an American citizen,
then she's an American problem.
Look, we just need to know
if Harper Dowar, as herself
or as Annelise Nelin,
has ever entered Honduras.
And I've already told you no.
We have never heard of this woman.
Thank you.

You taught Harper in law school.
Have you talked to her
since she graduated?
No.
I ran into her in Midtown a few
years ago, but it was awkward.
[SIGHS] You really think
she murdered someone?
Why was it awkward seeing her?
I had recommended her for a job
with a very prestigious firm,
and she blew it off.
Didn't even show up for the interview.
Any idea why?
I suspect it had something to do
with a two-week graduation trip to Paris
that turned into a full year in Paris.
What kept her there so long?
Not what, who.
She said she'd fallen in love,
though, I got the sense
that whatever happened,
it didn't work out.
Did you ask for details?
She was my student. No.
I did ask her why she'd bothered
spending three years in law school
if she never intended to take
the bar or practice law.
I was annoyed she had made me look bad.
I don't give recommendations lightly.
Did she give you an answer?
A memorable one.
"Why measure your life
in tenths of an hour
as an associate when
you can measure it in dollars?"
Sounds like she fell
for some get-rich-quick scheme.
Maybe.
I do know law school isn't cheap.
And neither was her taste in clothing,
purses, shoes, you name it.
If we had a yearbook, she would
have been voted Best Dressed.
She tell you how she paid for all that?
I don't know exactly.
But her parents both died
unexpectedly her 1L year.
Boating accident on the Sound.
My guess is
she came into some money then.
Well, if you can go through
old files, emails,
anything you could find
from Harper would be useful.
Of course.
Thank you.
Harper's parents' deaths
were ruled an accident,
but she was on the boat.
She claimed she tried to save them,
but there's a lot
of question marks around it.
You think she killed her parents?
Well, she was an only child
and she did inherit everything.
Might explain how she could
afford that brownstone.
The Honduran consul lied to us.
Harper traveled to Honduras
three months ago
under yet another alias, Maria Paz.
Man, how many identities
does this woman have?
I called up my buddy in Interpol.
He's the one who found
the fingerprint match.
At the airport, Maria's
passport was flagged as a fake,
so local police arrested her
and got her prints.
They should have deported her.
Yeah, but the case was
conveniently dropped, or disappeared.
Well, maybe that's when
she got her marching orders.
Now the Hondurans are covering for her.
Run that passport.
If she fled the country,
she could be long gone by now.
Got it.
Hey, super excited about tonight.
Actually, it's why I'm calling.
Uh
I just got assigned to a flight.
I have to work.

Harper came by and stabbed him
with some kind of nerve agent.
That's her in the picture.
What are the chances?
That's definitely Harper.
That must be the exact moment
she poked him.
Witnesses said
that it all happened so fast.
By the time the victim
was on the ground,
there was no one else around.
But if Harper's working
for the Hondurans,
why do they want this guy dead?
And how'd she know
he'd be at this steakhouse?
We just spoke with the family
and they're obviously in shock.
The son said that they
just started their vacation.
Yeah, they're staying
at an Airbnb in Brooklyn.

All right, so we got bank statements.
Wow, they're loaded.
That explains the shopping spree.
Yeah, but who travels with
copies of their bank statements?
Yeah.
Wasn't the victim's wife's name Huong?
- Yeah, I think so.
- All right.
So then who's this listed
as a joint owner on the account?
A Van Tranvinh?
Whoa. OK.
Van is a Vietnamese real estate
mogul who's worth billions.
Two months ago,
she was sentenced to death
for defrauding
the Vietnamese government.
That's a hell of a sentence
for a financial crime.
Do we know how the victim's
connected to her?
I mean, judging
by these bank statements,
he's an accomplice to fraud.
So six weeks ago, Pham
leaves Vietnam with his family.
Right? They travel the world,
but they haven't been back yet.
Maybe he was worried
that the Vietnamese government
would go after him, too,
so he fled with his family
and the evidence.
Harper killed him.
He has nothing to do with Honduras.
♪
That means
- Harper's an assassin for hire.
- Right.
♪
Mercenaries have been around
since the beginning of time.
I think Harper's solely
in this for the money.
Open for business to the highest bidder.
It would make sense why none
of our victims are connected
other than that
their countries want them dead.
So she kills Miss Honduras
for not supporting
the Honduran president.
And Pham for defrauding
the Vietnamese government.
They probably planned this hit
months ago,
you know, ever since he fled Hanoi.
Pham arrives in the States,
his kids blast his location
on social media,
and Harper realizes
she's got a golden opportunity
to stick it to him.
Busy, busy girl.
I guess that explains how she
afforded the house and heels.

but that traffic cam
we saw in the corner

- Mm, not yet.
There's one here about
that job with the law firm,
something about the bar exam.
Wait.
Here's a photo she sent him

They look pretty cozy.
Might be the guy she fell for out there.

a Russian defector in Spain last year.
He used sarin.

of his suspected crimes.
So what if Harper's
relationship to this guy
was both personal and professional?

That's your fugitive
entering the women's bathroom.
She's in there maybe 20 seconds.
Then she comes back out with that bag.
So she made a pickup,
maybe met an accomplice
to help her with her getaway.
Or a handler giving her
instructions on her next job.
The question is what's in that bag?
I'm assuming there's
no cameras in the bathroom.
Correct.
Bag looks heavy. Could it be a bomb?
Or a weapon.
It's big enough for a long gun.
I don't like either of those options.
All right, so she comes
out of the bathroom.
Can you scroll back a little bit?

I haven't listened
to Isobel's voicemail yet.
- What do we got?
- Last night, Miss Honduras
was brazenly killed during
a live pageant broadcast.
I heard about that.
So it wasn't a heart attack?
Definitely not.
This was handed to us
because a nerve agent was used.
Now according to our WMD coordinator,
it was a binary chemical weapon.
- Binary?
- I had to ask, too.
It's when two separate chemicals
are harmless on their own,
mix them together,
and they become lethal.
The lab found traces of
methylphosphonyl difluoride,
or DF, on the winner's sash
that Miss Honduras was wearing.
Now, when mixed with isopropyl alcohol,
it becomes sarin, which can
kill a person in minutes.
The constricted pupils and aspiration
are classic signs of sarin poisoning.
Her blood tested positive for it.
So Miss Honduras was exposed
to the DF chemical first
and then someone exposed her
to the alcohol.
Right, but we haven't ID'ed
the source of the alcohol yet,
but she likely made contact
with it right before she collapsed.
Miss Canada is actually hospitalized
because of her exposure to it.
If this happened on live TV,
there should be plenty
of camera coverage.
Yeah, there is, but it isn't helpful.
I mean, any one of those
contestants could have delivered it.
So the contestant roster
just became our suspect list.
Uh, yes, but some of them
have flown back to their home countries.
How the hell did that happen?
The pageant went under
new management last year,
got a different president.
And word is it's been
a hot mess ever since.
What do you know about
the pageant world, Miss Texas?
Not as much as you.
Perfect. You and Ray

for some get-rich-quick scheme.
Maybe.
I do know law school isn't cheap.
And neither was her taste in clothing,
purses, shoes, you name it.
If we had a yearbook, she would
have been voted Best Dressed.
She tell you how she paid for all that?
I don't know exactly.
But her parents both died
unexpectedly her 1L year.
Boating accident on the Sound.
My guess is
she came into some money then.
Well, if you can go through
old files, emails,
anything you could find
from Harper would be useful.
Of course.
Thank you.
Harper's parents' deaths
were ruled an accident,
but she was on the boat.
She claimed she tried to save them,
but there's a lot
of question marks around it.
You think she killed her parents?
Well, she was an only child
and she did inherit everything.
Might explain how she could
afford that brownstone.
The Honduran consul lied to us.
Harper traveled to Honduras
three months ago
under yet another alias, Maria Paz.
Man, how many identities
does this woman have?
I called up my buddy in Interpol.
He's the one who found
the fingerprint match.
At the airport, Maria's
passport was flagged as a fake,
so local police arrested her
and got her prints.
They should have deported her.
Yeah, but the case was
conveniently dropped, or disappeared.
Well, maybe that's when
she got her marching orders.
Now the Hondurans are covering for her.
Run that passport.
If she fled the country,
she could be long gone by now.
Got it.
Hey, super excited about tonight.
Actually, it's why I'm calling.
Uh
I just got assigned to a flight.

Welcome to America.

with his family
right at the moment
Harper came by and stabbed him
with some kind of nerve agent.
That's her in the picture.
What are the chances?
That's definitely Harper.
That must be the exact moment
she poked him.
Witnesses said
that it all happened so fast.
By the time the victim
was on the ground,
there was no one else around.
But if Harper's working
for the Hondurans,
why do they want this guy dead?
And how'd she know
he'd be at this steakhouse?
We just spoke with the family

The son said that they

Yeah, they're staying
at an Airbnb in Brooklyn.

All right, so we got bank statements.
Wow, they're loaded.
That explains the shopping spree.
Yeah, but who travels with
copies of their bank statements?
Yeah.
Wasn't the victim's wife's name Huong?
- Yeah, I think so.
- All right.
So then who's this listed
as a joint owner on the account?
A Van Tranvinh?
Whoa. OK.
Van is a Vietnamese real estate
mogul who's worth billions.
Two months ago,
she was sentenced to death
for defrauding
the Vietnamese government.
That's a hell of a sentence
for a financial crime.
Do we know how the victim's
connected to her?
I mean, judging
by these bank statements,
he's an accomplice to fraud.
So six weeks ago, Pham
leaves Vietnam with his family.
Right? They travel the world,
but they haven't been back yet.
Maybe he was worried
that the Vietnamese government
would go after him, too,
so he fled with his family
and the evidence.
Harper killed him.
He has nothing to do with Honduras.

That means
- Harper's an assassin for hire.
- Right.

Mercenaries have been around
since the beginning of time.
I think Harper's solely
in this for the money.
Open for business to the highest bidder.
It would make sense why none
of our victims are connected
other than that
their countries want them dead.
So she kills Miss Honduras
for not supporting
the Honduran president.
And Pham for defrauding
the Vietnamese government.
They probably planned this hit
months ago,
you know, ever since he fled Hanoi.
Pham arrives in the States,
his kids blast his location
on social media,
and Harper realizes
she's got a golden opportunity
to stick it to him.
Busy, busy girl.
I guess that explains how she
afforded the house and heels.

He used sarin.

So what if Harper's
relationship to this guy

She was trained by a pro.
That was Jersey Transit Police.
A woman matching Harper's description
was just spotted at Newark Penn Station.
[TENSE MUSIC]
That's your fugitive
entering the women's bathroom.
She's in there maybe 20 seconds.
Then she comes back out with that bag.
So she made a pickup,
maybe met an accomplice
to help her with her getaway.
Or a handler giving her
instructions on her next job.
The question is what's in that bag?
I'm assuming there's
no cameras in the bathroom.
Correct.
Bag looks heavy. Could it be a bomb?
Or a weapon.
It's big enough for a long gun.
I don't like either of those options.
All right, so she comes
out of the bathroom.
Can you scroll back a little bit?
