Motive (US Series)

Angels with Dirty Faces (2x8)

Air date: Jul 16, 2014

Peter Ward (Paul Campbell) is the home-care nurse for Olivia Dent, a woman with an auto-immune kidney disease. Her son James was found nearly dead after he made a 9-1-1 call of being assaulted. He is declared brain dead, but is kept on life support at the hospital. Olivia and James have been estranged for some months, even though she provided him with a business, a rehearsal space, on which he could earn a living. Voice recognition proves that the 9-1-1 call was not made by James himself. A situation at the hospital points to Peter as the perpetrator. Angie and Oscar must figure out why Peter did not initially kill James before he made the call, if the motive was purely to inherit Olivia's estate instead of James. Meanwhile, Brian, separated from his wife Mary, turns to Officer Sung for support. Also, the professional divide between Angie and Mark that occurred ten years ago begins to reveal itself.
