The episode
With the funerals over, the season watches the brothers spend: Rolex watches, a restaurant, a Porsche. The spending is reckless but strategic-looking — they believe the will disinherited them and hunt the estate papers until a housekeeper hands one over.
The police, unconvinced by the mob theory, lean on a friend of Erik's to elicit a confession and get nothing. But Oziel, now half-blackmailing the brothers into a business arrangement, keeps the tapes — and when Judalon is cast out of his house, she walks into a police station with everything she knows.
Show vs. the record
The spending that followed — watches, cars, a restaurant — was a centerpiece of the prosecution. The brothers were also looking for the will. Before the tapes existed, police tried to get a confession from people around Erik.
Oziel keeping the recordings, and Smyth going to a police station after she was pushed out of his house, tracks the investigation. Blackmail, and who said what inside the mansion, is the show's reading.
