Former federal prosecutor Tad DiBiase breaks down the evidence. Sara Jo returns for an unfiltered roundtable. And I close the season with one final message.. for Shane, and for the one still hiding the truth.

Beneath the surface, something breaks. This is Part 1 of the finale. (Press Play)

Not all lies are spoken. Some get buried.

This week, James follows a lead back to the last place anyone wants to look.

The timelines aren’t lining up.
The money’s still unaccounted for.

And the one thing no one thought would be questioned...

might need to be ripped open.

Two polygraphs. Two promises of truth. But when the tests ended, the real deception began.
One passed. One failed. Neither told the full story.

In this explosive chapter, James confronts Howard Wheeler with proof his airtight alibi was a fabrication, and catches it all unfolding in real time. Meanwhile, Rachel Barton’s collapse after her failed test triggers something no one saw coming: a new timeline. A new last sighting. A new crack wide enough to change everything.
This isn’t about who fooled the machine.
It’s about who kept lying after the mask fell off.
And this time, the cracks are too big to ignore.
