00:00Mickey, dig the new haircuts.
00:16Petrovitz, have you been here in the gym?
00:19You're looking buff.
00:20Carver, how's the bunions feeling?
00:25Whoa, miss, where do you think you're going?
00:27Oh, hold on.
00:30That's a toy.
00:31Excuse me?
00:32Joey, Max is a police consultant.
00:35Sorry, Max, he's new.
00:36Don't worry, Joey, I was new once too.
00:40So, where's the action?
00:42It's right up here, I'll walk you over.
00:44Who are you working with today?
00:45I don't know, but between you and I, I hope not Yates.
00:47I thought you liked Yates.
00:48I love her, just moved him back, but lately she's a little bit...
00:51Oh, come on!
00:52Scary.
00:53Morning, Yates.
00:55Is it morning?
00:56I can't even tell anymore.
00:57I just left Simmons at another crime scene to come to this one.
00:59That's our 10th open case.
01:01This one's our 11th.
01:02Look, I know we've been understaffed since Ellis left, but maybe today things will turn around.
01:06Are you telling me to turn that frown upside down, in a manner of speaking?
01:09That's good advice.
01:10Do you want to hear some advice?
01:11Here we go.
01:12People, I'm officially declaring this no murder month.
01:15Okay?
01:15From this day forth, should a citizen of our city murder another?
01:19So help me, goddess, I will kill you myself.
01:22What do we got?
01:26Murder.
01:27I'm gonna need this.
01:28What's the story, Olive?
01:47Just got here, but here's what we know.
01:49John Doe, no ID, no wallet.
01:50Early 20s, gunshot to the chest.
01:52We found a .32 caliber bullet.
01:54Went right through him.
01:55Okay, so no leads, nothing to go on?
01:57Not at the moment.
01:58Great.
01:58Another winner.
01:59Call me when you have something.
02:01We got something.
02:02See that blue line right there in his shirt?
02:04It's chalk.
02:06Is he saying he's a school teacher?
02:07No.
02:08Look at his fingers.
02:10I noticed those, but I don't know where they're from yet.
02:13It's from playing pool.
02:14Moving the cue back and forth on the skin.
02:15You gotta play four to six hours a day to develop calluses like that.
02:19Trust me, I used to play a lot of pool growing up.
02:21Canvas every pool hall in a five-mile radius.
02:23I guarantee you someone's gonna recognize him.
02:25Hop to it.
02:25Sparky.
02:26You heard the lady.
02:27Please work, Mitchell.
02:28Can I have my coffee back?
02:29No.
02:41All right, and you're sure about that?
02:43Okay, I'm gonna send an officer to your way to take your statement.
02:45Thank you very much.
02:47All right.
02:48Got an eyewitness in our carjacking case that's willing to testify.
02:51All right, so, case number 10, closed.
02:54Oh, great.
02:55Because we just picked up another one.
02:56You're kidding.
02:57Even I'm not that funny.
02:59Max, chief wants to see you.
03:02Thanks, Tony.
03:05Ah!
03:07Mine.
03:07That's the office coffee machine.
03:08You need to put it back in the kitchen.
03:10Never.
03:11Chief, you wanted to see me?
03:12Hey, Max.
03:16You missed me?
03:23Hey.
03:24Hi.
03:26You're back.
03:27I'm back.
03:28Now that the internal investigation into the Russo affair is done,
03:32Ellis has been cleared of any wrongdoing,
03:34and his reinstatement has been approved.
03:36That's great.
03:37Yeah, and I was just telling Ellis that we're pretty backed up here,
03:39so I'd like him to start right away.
03:40Well, that's good, because Yates has been very overwhelmed with the caseload.
03:43Right.
03:44And since Max has stayed on as a consultant,
03:46I assumed you two would partner up again.
03:47Uh, that works for me.
03:52Of course.
03:54Great.
03:56Your badge, detective?
03:58Collect your service weapon from the armory.
04:00Good to have you back.
04:01It's good to be back, sir.
04:04Oh, and, uh,
04:05taking that new haircut, sir.
04:07We think you lost a bet.
04:09Not that I don't like it,
04:11because I love it.
04:12Your old silky mane made you look soft.
04:14Now you look like a bullet.
04:16Deadly and mean.
04:17Get out of my office.
04:19Gone like the wind.
04:20Mackie, come on.
04:28Hey, I know that...
04:29Look, can I just say something first, please?
04:33Sure.
04:34Look, I am sorry I sprung that whole
04:37come away with me thing onto you.
04:40It was wrong with me to do that.
04:42It was just after years of trying to find Daniel's killer,
04:44once I finally did, it was like
04:45I was lost.
04:48And I was reaching out for something to hold on to,
04:50and I was wrong.
04:53And I see that now, and
04:54I'm really sorry.
04:58And you do not owe me any kind of explanation
05:00for why you didn't show up at the dock, okay?
05:01I mean that.
05:03It's really sweet of you not to mention anything in front of Lee,
05:05but if you do not want to work together,
05:07I totally understand that.
05:09Just give me the word,
05:10and I'll make it happen.
05:13Thank you for all of that.
05:15But it's all good.
05:17We can move on.
05:19Onward, upward, moving on up.
05:22Okay, great.
05:25It's really good to see you.
05:29So, where have you been this last month?
05:32I took the boat down to Mexico.
05:34I was going to travel around a little bit,
05:35but I ended up just settling down in this little surfing town.
05:38What did you do there?
05:39I ate, drank,
05:41surfed,
05:42bummed around a little bit.
05:43It's hard for me to imagine you bumming around.
05:45Yeah, it was for me too, trust me.
05:47But no, I needed to clear my head.
05:49Honestly, I was trying to figure out
05:50how to just be myself again, you know?
05:52Well, you seem a little bit more chill.
05:55And as long as I don't see you wearing a puka shell necklace
05:57or asking you to play hacky sack,
05:58we'll be okay.
05:59Because those are deal breakers.
06:01Yeah, I think I can manage that.
06:03Honestly, I was surprised to see you still working here.
06:05Because, I don't know,
06:06I kind of had this funny feeling
06:07you were going to skip town that night, so...
06:09Good for you.
06:09You, uh, proved me wrong.
06:11Well, since my dad got out of the joint,
06:13he needs to see his parole officer every week.
06:15We can't leave.
06:17I needed a legit job.
06:19They offered, and...
06:21Voila!
06:23Detective Mitchell.
06:25Kept the badge.
06:27Yeah.
06:27It was my one non-negotiable.
06:31Well, I'm glad you made the choice to stay
06:38instead of going back to a life of crime.
06:40You are done with all the crime, right?
06:43Oh, yeah.
06:44All that's behind me.
06:45Dust in the rearview mirror.
06:46So, anything else going on?
06:48Nothing new in the exciting life of Max Mitchell.
06:51Um...
06:53Mom?
06:59Hi, Peanut.
07:02It's me.
07:07Oh, God.
07:10Oh, God.
07:15Mom?
07:17Vivian?
07:18Vivian?
07:21Nope.
07:32Nothing new.
07:32Just, uh, same old, same old.
07:37It's Chief Lee.
07:38He wants us in the observation room.
07:39Looks like somebody ID'd your Vic from this morning.
07:44Max, you were right.
07:45That's Monty.
07:47He owns the Third Street Billiards room.
07:48Yeah, that's him.
07:49Tommy Z.
07:50That's what everybody called him.
07:51How'd you know him?
07:52He started coming around my place with his friends when he was around, I don't know, 16.
07:58Troublemakers.
07:58I got a lot of kids like that.
08:00Skipping school and playing pool.
08:02This kid was different.
08:03He was the most gifted player I have ever seen.
08:05Within a year, he was beating the pros.
08:07He could have been one of the all-time greats.
08:10When's the last time that you saw him?
08:11Last night.
08:12He came in, played a few games, and then left.
08:14Nothing out of the ordinary.
08:15Do you think of anybody who might want to mess with him?
08:17No, not this kid.
08:19He lit up every room he walked into.
08:21You couldn't help but like him.
08:23He was a good kid.
08:24Seems as though Tommy was a rising star in the tournament circuit until about a year ago when he stopped competing professionally.
08:31So why did he stop?
08:32I don't know.
08:39What was Tommy doing for a living?
08:41I don't know.
08:42I mean, this and that.
08:44You know, odd jobs.
08:46Tommy was a pool hustler.
08:48How do you know that?
08:49Well, he won every professional tournament he was in, and then he suddenly stopped.
08:53The only reason someone that good stops competing is because they don't want to get recognized in pool halls.
08:56There's a lot more money to be made traveling across the country, fleecing players, and in sanctioned contests.
09:01Why didn't Monty tell us that?
09:02Because he doesn't want cops coming around his place.
09:04Owners usually take 15% of the action.
09:06So Tommy left the pool hall around 2 a.m. and was killed around 2.30 a.m.
09:10It wasn't a random mugging.
09:12Maybe someone followed him outside of the bar.
09:13You and his took statements down at the pool hall.
09:15Nobody mentioned anything suspicious.
09:17That's not surprising.
09:18They are gambling illegally.
09:20Well, if we go in there flashing badges, even bedazzled ones, we'll get a whole lot of nothing.
09:24That's what I wish you.
09:25Good luck with that new guy.
09:26Because Simmons and I are not taking on another case.
09:30Vamanos, Simmons.
09:32That was Spanish.
09:33She wants enchiladas.
09:35Did she just call me the new guy?
09:36Okay, you two.
09:37Come up with a plan.
09:40Don't I always?
09:53Hey, everyone.
09:54We heard this is where the action is.
09:56Who wants to shoot some pool?
09:58Who wants to shoot some pool?
10:07Well, I was hoping for a little more fanfare than that.
10:12Hey, who do you got to know around here to get in on one of the pool tables?
10:19It'll be a while.
10:21Why, did somebody die?
10:22As a matter of fact, yes.
10:25Oh, my bad.
10:28He was murdered.
10:29Who was he?
10:30Tommy Z.
10:31Best pool player in town.
10:33At least he used to be.
10:35Did you know him?
10:36Everybody knew Tommy.
10:38Everybody liked him.
10:40Why is it always a good one?
10:41Do you need a straw?
10:43Because you're crying into your drink.
10:45Everyone loved Tommy, right?
10:52I mean, the kid was overflowing with charm.
10:55And he wasn't only my friend.
10:57He was the best player I have ever seen.
11:00Maybe.
11:02Maybe the only guy who could have beaten me in my prime.
11:07To Tommy.
11:08Tommy.
11:08We're going to wrap this up.
11:15I've got a game waiting.
11:16Hey, kid.
11:18A little respect.
11:21Ignore him.
11:22No class.
11:24Thanks, Al.
11:25Guess not everybody loved Tommy.
11:28I'll start working the tables, flash some cash around.
11:31Once these locals sense an easy mark, their lips will start laughing.
11:34Talk to that lady at the bar.
11:36She seems like a regular.
11:37I think there's a little more she wants to say.
11:40Go get her, Tiger.
11:45Damn it, kid.
11:48That's not fair.
11:50I'm sorry, Tom.
11:51Give anything to see you walk through that door again.
11:54Mom, where have you been for the past 15 years?
11:59Do you remember Monaco?
12:01Hard to forget.
12:02Last time I saw you.
12:03And that casino con I wanted to pull?
12:04The one I told you was too dangerous and out of our league?
12:07Well, that was just the point.
12:08I wanted us to set our sights higher.
12:10Reach for that brass ring.
12:11You did it anyway.
12:12Must be something in the jeans.
12:14Turns out you were right, dear.
12:16I got caught.
12:18So you've been in prison all these years?
12:21No.
12:22That would have been much easier.
12:24And safer.
12:25No, I have been on the run from Gideon Varga.
12:29No, Viv.
12:32Who's Gideon Varga?
12:34No one really knows because nobody's ever seen his face.
12:37He has his hands in everything.
12:39Extortion, drugs, smuggling, casinos.
12:41Turns out Varga was behind the casino I robbed.
12:45How have I never heard of this guy?
12:47Some say he doesn't exist.
12:49That he's a myth.
12:49That his real talent is to be invisible.
12:52That's how he stayed untouchable.
12:54Come on.
12:55These days, nobody's untouchable.
12:58Gideon Varga is.
13:01He's the devil himself.
13:06Hey.
13:07Hey.
13:09You said you were looking for a game?
13:10Rack him up, champ.
13:12When I was a little girl,
13:14Daddy would always bring my brothers to the local pool hall.
13:16When I asked to go, do you know what he would say?
13:18Girls can't play pool.
13:19Can you believe that?
13:20My God.
13:21That's terrible.
13:22So I gave up.
13:23But I never stopped dreaming of it.
13:25Then last month,
13:26my whole life flipped like a pancake.
13:28My filthy rich grandma died
13:29and left me everything.
13:31Of course, I did the decent thing
13:32and bought my daddy and my brothers
13:34a brand spanking new double wide.
13:36But I kept the rest of Granny's millions for myself.
13:38So now that I'm retired,
13:39I'm going to learn how to play some nine ball.
13:42And get a private massage therapist.
13:45And a personal chef.
13:47Oh, and a dog walker
13:48because rich folks
13:49don't need to be picking up anybody's doo-doo.
13:51Oh, speaking of that.
13:54Hey, Siri, remind me to get a dog.
13:59Wow.
14:00Well, I learned so much from you.
14:01I feel like I took advantage.
14:03We should have played for bigger bucks.
14:05Luckily,
14:06it's more where that came from.
14:08But first, I'm parched.
14:09Should I be the one you love?
14:13Well, I certainly sold my trailer trash
14:15to Rich's story.
14:16Okay, did you learn anything interesting?
14:18Police.
14:19Does Netflix cancel every show I like?
14:21Is Oatmelt still disgusting?
14:22Hey, Max, just give me the rundown, please.
14:25Okay.
14:26That is Kelly.
14:28Tommy Z's grief-stricken girlfriend.
14:30And from what everybody says,
14:31she gladly would have taken a bullet for him.
14:33That there
14:34is Salvatore,
14:36Tommy's steakhorse.
14:37So he finds all the matches
14:38and puts up the money for the bets.
14:39And pays all expenses
14:40for the three of them
14:41to travel the country hustling.
14:42Probably takes a nice chunk
14:43of their winnings, too.
14:44If Tommy was his cash cow,
14:46he wouldn't want to kill him.
14:47No.
14:49But he might.
14:51That's Jose.
14:52I heard Salvatore originally
14:53staked him that Tommy came a while ago.
14:55He's just too good, so.
14:57Jose got kicked to the curb.
14:59Well, I heard
14:59the night Tommy was killed,
15:00Tommy and Jose played pool
15:02until 2 a.m.
15:03Tommy won
15:04and then left with 50 grand.
15:05But when they found Tommy's body,
15:07the cash was gone.
15:08Maybe Jose's jealousy
15:09got the better of him.
15:10He kills Tommy,
15:12his known rival,
15:12and then he steals the 50K
15:14he felt was rightfully his.
15:15And now,
15:15Jose has Salvatore
15:16back as his steakhorse.
15:19Seems like Tommy's death
15:20only benefits Jose.
15:22I think we just found
15:22your next game.
15:29Blow on it, Reggie, honey.
15:30Or good luck.
15:31Anything for you, sugar?
15:32Well, now I'm definitely
15:34going to win.
15:38You're up?
15:39Well, I don't know
15:39which one it hit first.
15:41They all look so cute.
15:43They're numbered.
15:45You're supposed to
15:46sync them in order.
15:51Damn, honey.
15:52I guess your
15:52blower's busted.
15:53Okay.
15:57So you knew that guy
15:58who got shot, right?
16:00Timmy something?
16:01Tommy.
16:02What about him?
16:03I heard you got
16:04beat by him bad last night.
16:07We're going to talk?
16:08We're going to play.
16:10Rumor has it
16:11you lost 50 grand.
16:12Ouch.
16:13And if I win,
16:14you got to promise
16:14not to shoot me.
16:16What the hell
16:16are you talking about?
16:19Sure, I was pissed at Tommy.
16:20But the only thing
16:21I killed last night
16:22was a bottle of rye.
16:23Passed out,
16:24woke up on that table
16:25this morning.
16:26Jose,
16:27got a game over here.
16:28We're not done playing.
16:29Actually,
16:30we're done.
16:42I've passed out.
16:43Not the most
16:44original alibi.
16:46I know,
16:46but it should be
16:47easy enough to confirm.
16:47What the hell's that?
16:53Voodoo doll.
16:54Of who?
16:55Ellis.
16:56Why do you have a
16:57pencil voodoo doll
16:59of Ellis?
17:00To control him.
17:02Find me a licorice
17:02and a marshmallow.
17:03I need to make one of Max.
17:04What's going on?
17:06What are you doing?
17:07We got to take them
17:08down a notch, okay?
17:09Why?
17:10Wake up, Simmons.
17:11When Ellis left,
17:12you and I,
17:13we became the number one team.
17:14The go-to guys.
17:16You know what I mean?
17:16Now that he's back,
17:17he could retake
17:18that number one spot.
17:19And I'm not
17:19going to let that happen.
17:21Okay?
17:21I got to taste the gold
17:22and I want more.
17:23Okay.
17:24Um,
17:25what I think you need
17:27is a nice night's rest
17:30for us to close a case
17:32and you'll feel
17:33bright as rain.
17:35Huh?
17:35No voodoo?
17:36No voodoo.
17:37I'm just going to make
17:37him do the mockery now.
17:38Give me that.
17:40Come on.
17:41Fine.
17:45Hey, Yates.
17:46Yes?
17:49Do you have any more of these?
17:50No.
17:51Do you have one of me?
17:53No.
17:53I don't.
17:56Hand it over.
18:02What are you going to do with this?
18:03I talk to it sometimes
18:05when I'm lonely.
18:05Okay?
18:06There's a lot of hours
18:07between quitting time
18:08and clocking in.
18:10It's actually kind of sweet.
18:12I mean,
18:12it's weird and creepy.
18:17But it's sweet.
18:20Yeah.
18:21Just out of curiosity,
18:23do you ever wake up
18:24in the middle of the night
18:25doing the tango?
18:26Give me that.
18:26Give me that.
18:26Yeah.
18:27Okay.
18:32Yo, Bert.
18:33Hi, Bert.
18:34What's up?
18:35My blood pressure,
18:36cholesterol,
18:36and rent.
18:37Get off,
18:38you bastard!
18:39Hey, hey, hey, hey!
18:42Hey, hey, hey!
18:42Get off!
18:43Get off!
18:44Stop!
18:45Hold on a second.
18:46Is this your jacket or not?
18:47It's Tommy's.
18:48I took it last night.
18:49Jose West passed out
18:50using it as a blanket.
18:51I was keeping it safe for Tommy.
18:53What's the big deal?
18:54The big deal is that Tommy's dead.
18:56What?
18:57I had no idea.
18:58You killed Tommy and...
19:00Stop!
19:03Where?
19:05Here, take it.
19:07Yeah, I'm trying to do
19:08a nice thing, huh?
19:09Let me just get
19:10something from my pocket.
19:14How'd you get that?
19:15You bet big last night
19:16and lost.
19:17None of your business.
19:18Oh, yeah?
19:18Your two-year-old tab
19:19is my business.
19:26It's okay.
19:27Happy now?
19:29Paid in full.
19:31I guess hell has frozen over.
19:33Well, suddenly,
19:34I'm not that thirsty anymore.
19:35Only of other establishments
19:36would appreciate our patrons
19:37such as myself.
19:44What's his deal?
19:45Bit of a loser, I'm afraid.
19:47Can never catch a break.
19:48He bet big for Jose
19:49to win last night.
19:52For a loser,
19:53that's some wad of cash
19:53he was flashing around.
19:54How does a broke gambler
19:56walk in here with a dead man
19:57jacket and a pocket
19:58full of cash?
20:09What the hell?
20:10Take it easy, Bert.
20:11We just want to know
20:12about the coat.
20:13The coat?
20:13I gave it back.
20:14Who the hell are you,
20:15anyways?
20:16The police.
20:16In between Tommy's coat
20:17and that wad of cash
20:18you were flashing around,
20:19you just became
20:20our number one suspect
20:20for this murder.
20:21Listen, so when is it
20:26a crime to borrow a coat?
20:28When that coat is full of cash
20:29and belongs to a murdered man.
20:30I told everyone,
20:31Jose was leaping it off,
20:33he was using Tommy's coat
20:34as a blanket.
20:34I didn't want him
20:35to puke all over it.
20:36Oh, you're a prince.
20:37However, Tommy left
20:39Monty's pool hall
20:40with 50 grand in his pocket
20:41and took a bullet
20:42in the chest.
20:43When they found the body,
20:44the money was gone.
20:44And today,
20:45you show up,
20:46a newly rich man.
20:48I can't explain.
20:49Yeah, so can I.
20:50You got pissed off at Tommy,
20:51you followed him
20:52outside the bar
20:52and then you shot him
20:53and then you stole his 50k.
20:54No, I didn't kill Tommy,
20:55I swear.
20:56Bert, you made a big bet
20:57last night and you lost.
20:58Just admit it.
20:59That bet I placed on Jose,
21:01it wasn't my money.
21:03Really?
21:05It was Salvatore's money.
21:06He paid Bert
21:07to place the bet
21:08on Jose to win.
21:09Why would Salvatore
21:10bet against his own player?
21:11Because the game was fixed.
21:12Tommy was supposed
21:13to throw the match.
21:13Salvatore knew
21:14if he was seen betting
21:15against one of his own
21:16players,
21:16everyone would know
21:17it was fixed.
21:18So he had Bert
21:19place the bet for him.
21:20What he didn't know
21:21is that Tommy placed a bet
21:22and he didn't throw the match.
21:24He won 50 grand.
21:25So Tommy screwed over Salvatore,
21:27then the kid ends up
21:28shot and robbed.
21:29I don't need to
21:30connect the dots, do I?
21:31We did a little digging
21:32into Salvatore.
21:33Turns out he was a pretty
21:34great pool player himself
21:35back in the day.
21:36Hustled himself
21:37across the map.
21:38Yeah, and got the priors
21:39to prove it.
21:40Portland, Winnipeg,
21:42Rochester.
21:44An awful wagering theft.
21:46Recurring assault charges.
21:49Not a guy you want to mess with.
21:50Got anything solid on him
21:51on this case?
21:52Not yet.
21:53But if we can find out
21:53why he betrayed him,
21:54then it should give us
21:55a clearer picture
21:55of what happened that night.
21:57Work fast
21:58before this guy
21:58hits the road again.
21:59I'm going to need a minute
22:01to process Bert's release,
22:02okay?
22:02I'll be right back.
22:03Okay.
22:10Hey, baby girl.
22:11I'm trying to reach you.
22:12Ricky's back from Zurich
22:13in the morning,
22:13so we've got to make
22:14a decision now.
22:15Are we in or out?
22:17Gideon Varga
22:18is not the sort of man
22:19who forgives and forgets.
22:21But if you've never
22:22seen Varga,
22:23who caught you?
22:24Tomo Hayashi,
22:25Varga's right hand.
22:27While I was waiting
22:28for them to decide
22:29how to dispose of me,
22:31I managed to slip away
22:33and steal a car
22:35from a valet stand.
22:37You staged
22:38the car accident?
22:39I had to improvise.
22:40Tomo was right on my tail,
22:41so I leapt from the car
22:42before sending it
22:43over the cliff
22:44and into the sea.
22:45Rather operatic,
22:47I know,
22:47but I really had to sell it.
22:49And the money you stole?
22:51Unfortunately,
22:52it went down with the car.
22:53But Varga didn't believe
22:54you were really dead.
22:55Not without a body.
22:57I hoped he'd think
22:57I'd been swept out to sea,
22:59but every time I felt safe,
23:00I'd hear a report
23:01that Varga was still
23:02looking for me.
23:03Like I said,
23:04the guy really knows
23:05how to hold a grudge.
23:06But the only saving grace
23:08was that he thought
23:09that I was working alone.
23:11He didn't know my identity,
23:13nor did he know
23:13about you or your father.
23:15That's the secret
23:16that kept you both safe.
23:19So why did you come back?
23:22Over the years,
23:23I found moments
23:24to watch the two of you
23:26from afar,
23:27because I knew the risks
23:28of getting too close,
23:29but I just missed you both
23:31so terribly.
23:33Then you landed in prison
23:35and it was impossible
23:36to keep eyes on you
23:37and I just felt
23:38like I'd been cut off
23:42from my heartbeat.
23:42When I heard
23:50you were being released,
23:51I just...
23:53I had to be there.
23:58Hey!
24:00We did it!
24:01Whoa!
24:02What I didn't know
24:03was that Varga
24:04had uncovered
24:04one of my aliases,
24:06which tripped an alert
24:07at the border,
24:08and Tomohayashi
24:09caught up with me.
24:10With an ultimatum
24:17from Varga,
24:19we pay every last cent
24:21I stole,
24:22or...
24:23Or he'll kill you?
24:24No.
24:25If it was just that,
24:26she wouldn't have come back.
24:29When Hayashi
24:30found me outside the prison,
24:33unfortunately,
24:33you were all exposed
24:35to all those years
24:38of being so careful
24:39just gone in an instant.
24:42So,
24:43if you don't pay Varga back...
24:46We're all dead.
24:49How much do you owe?
24:50Well,
24:51it's not a small amount
24:53of money, per se.
24:54How much, Vivian?
24:55A hundred million.
25:00It's not exactly
25:01a chump change.
25:02Call me.
25:02There isn't much time left.
25:03Hey.
25:06You all right?
25:07Yeah.
25:08You ready to find out
25:09why Tommy screwed
25:10over Salvatore?
25:11Baby,
25:11I was born ready.
25:15Wow.
25:16You got more game
25:17than a truck stop arcade.
25:19You ever think about
25:19getting yourself a steak horse
25:20like Salvatore?
25:22Nah.
25:22Well,
25:23I hear he and Tommy
25:23had a pretty sweet deal
25:25going on.
25:25so we can turn
25:26sour off real quick.
25:27You're saying, uh,
25:28that their love boat
25:29started leaking?
25:30I heard them arguing
25:31outside in the alley.
25:32He's taking out the trash
25:33and the two of them
25:34were really going at it
25:35after the big game
25:36between Tommy and Jose.
25:38So, uh,
25:39what were they fighting about?
25:40I only caught
25:41bits and pieces
25:41so we can't be sure.
25:43But,
25:43lately,
25:46I've heard a rumor.
25:47I don't think it was
25:48about pool.
25:48I think it was
25:49a bigger problem.
25:50Like what?
25:50Like girl problems.
25:52You've heard
25:52two's company,
25:53three's a crowd?
25:54Traveling around together,
25:55two guys and one girl?
25:57Are you saying
25:57Kelly cheated on Tommy
25:58with Salvatore?
25:59Sal's got money.
26:00He's a charmer.
26:02Wouldn't doubt
26:03he snuck in a side pocket shot
26:04when the real player
26:04wasn't looking.
26:06Double or nothing?
26:07Maybe later.
26:11So,
26:12you heard the rumors too?
26:15Certainly explains
26:16why Tommy stuck it to him
26:17with his
26:17screw you win.
26:19He was punishing Salvatore
26:20for sleeping with his girlfriend.
26:21Nothing like a messy romance
26:22to foul up a good partnership.
26:28Speak of the devils.
26:30Love our spat.
26:31I don't know.
26:32Let's find out, shall we?
26:36I know,
26:37I know it hurts, honey.
26:39I was a wreck
26:40when my robber died.
26:42But,
26:43day after day
26:44you just
26:44figure out
26:45how to survive.
26:47Thanks, Myrna.
26:48And gin helps.
26:49Make it two this time.
26:50Make it three.
26:51I'm buying.
26:53Oh.
26:54You're lucky
26:54you have such amazing people
26:55help you get through this, Kelly.
26:57Amen to that.
26:58Now,
27:00if you'll excuse me,
27:01mama's got a tinkle.
27:03Oh!
27:03Oh!
27:04Oh!
27:04Geez, Myrna,
27:05careful!
27:06Why do you have a gun?
27:09No, no, no,
27:10that's not mine!
27:11Wait a minute.
27:12Hold on a second.
27:16It's a 38 millimeter.
27:17Same caliber gun
27:18that killed Tommy.
27:18That's my gun, Kelly.
27:23How the hell
27:23did you get my gun out
27:24in my safe?
27:25I've never seen it before.
27:26I didn't do this.
27:27One of the rounds
27:27has been fired.
27:28You need to call the cops.
27:29No!
27:30No, no, no, no, no.
27:30We don't call the cops.
27:31This is your gun
27:32and it might have killed someone.
27:33So unless you want
27:33to go down for that,
27:34I'd pick up that phone
27:35and start dialing.
27:36Wait, what are you...
27:53You're cops?
27:54Yeah, we are.
27:55I'm a cop.
27:56She's not.
27:57I have a badge.
27:58It's bedazzled.
27:59Thanks.
28:00He's just jealous.
28:01Kelly, the ballistics report
28:02just came back
28:03and your gun
28:04is a match
28:04for the murder weapon.
28:05I told you
28:06it's not my gun.
28:07Somebody put it there.
28:08Did you kill Tommy
28:09because you were having
28:10an affair with Sal?
28:10I would have never
28:11cheated on Tommy.
28:13Somebody started
28:13that stupid rumor.
28:15I was trying to get Tommy
28:16to leave Salvatore.
28:18Why?
28:18Tommy used to love the game
28:19just for the joy of it.
28:21But when Salvatore
28:22recruited him
28:22and the money
28:23started rolling in,
28:24he changed.
28:26Money became
28:26all he cared about.
28:28The last trip we did
28:29was the worst.
28:29Took this guy in Winnipeg
28:31for everything he had.
28:32The guy was clearly
28:33in over his head.
28:34But Salvatore kept saying
28:35that wasn't our problem.
28:36What were you and Sal
28:38arguing about?
28:40Salvatore always
28:40held on to the winnings.
28:42And now he won't
28:43give me Tommy's cut.
28:44Says Tommy screwed him
28:45on the last game
28:46so he's owed.
28:47Well, where were you
28:48when Tommy walked
28:49out of the bar that night?
28:50I stayed around
28:50until past three
28:51hoping Tommy would
28:52cool off and come back.
28:54But he never did.
28:55Now I know why.
29:06So, you believe her?
29:07I do.
29:08I think she loved Tommy.
29:09Besides, why keep
29:10the murder weapon
29:11in your purse?
29:12Maybe Salvatore
29:13shot Tommy
29:14and planted the gun
29:15on her.
29:15Or Kelly actually
29:16did do it.
29:17She was just waiting
29:17for the right time
29:18for the gun back
29:18in the safe.
29:19Do you really believe that?
29:19You gotta remember
29:20this whole thing
29:20is centered around
29:21a rumor of an
29:22alleged affair.
29:23So, either it's true
29:24or the whole thing's
29:25a frame-up to make
29:25him look guilty.
29:26But I would do that.
29:27Somebody who had
29:28access to the safe
29:29and somebody who
29:30hated Tommy enough
29:31to kill him?
29:34Somebody who had
29:36access to the safe.
29:38What are you thinking?
29:40Give me a sec.
29:44Bingo.
29:50Hey, you want
29:54to play a game?
29:55Me?
29:56No.
29:57I don't play anymore.
29:59Okay.
29:59Well, I'm sure
30:00someone else will
30:00want to play
30:01for this 20K.
30:05Hey, you know,
30:06what the hell, huh?
30:08For old time's sake.
30:20I guess I still got it.
30:30That's what
30:31everybody says.
30:32Hey, Tommy had his
30:33last game at this table.
30:35Didn't he?
30:35I heard it was
30:36one hell of a game.
30:37Tooth and nail
30:37to the end, right?
30:39But nobody knew
30:40that the game was fixed.
30:42It was not.
30:44Then why did you have
30:44Burkbet against Tommy
30:45on your behalf?
30:46Because the game
30:47was fixed.
30:48Tommy was supposed
30:48to throw the match,
30:49but he didn't.
30:50What?
30:50You fixed the game
30:51at my place?
30:51It was Salvador's idea.
30:52I just went along
30:53with it.
30:53Are you crazy?
30:55Sal, what the hell
30:55are you thinking?
30:56What is all this?
30:57Focus, Sal.
30:57You got 20K on the line.
31:05Oh, my turn.
31:08Okay, so let's review here.
31:10Tommy was supposed
31:11to throw the game,
31:12but didn't.
31:13Because of that,
31:14it makes sense
31:15that people heard you
31:16arguing about the fact
31:17that he beat Jose.
31:18That wasn't the only thing
31:19which you were arguing
31:20about that night,
31:21was it?
31:21There was juicy goss
31:23going around
31:24that you were sleeping
31:25with Kelly,
31:26and Tommy caught wind of it.
31:27I never touched Kelly.
31:28I mean, I know that,
31:30but Tommy didn't,
31:30and he was pissed.
31:32And that's why
31:32he decided to screw you
31:33over on the game.
31:34Who the hell are you?
31:42Somebody who likes
31:43to play games.
31:44Speaking of,
31:45there was somebody else
31:45who was playing you,
31:46and everyone else
31:47in this bar.
31:48That affair rumor
31:49wasn't just gossip.
31:50Somebody started that
31:51for a reason.
31:51You want to know
31:52who that was?
31:53It was Myrna.
31:54The lady who's always
31:54at the bar.
31:55I think her name's Myrna.
32:00What y'all looking at?
32:01Myrna told everyone
32:02that Salvatore
32:03was sleeping with Kelly.
32:05What?
32:06I didn't do anything.
32:08You remember Winnipeg?
32:08Yeah, what about it?
32:09There was a man there.
32:10You took him
32:11for all that he was worth.
32:14He was already
32:15way over his head
32:16in the game,
32:17not to mention
32:18that his house
32:18was triple mortgaged.
32:21He was humiliated
32:22that he was about
32:23to lose his house,
32:23so he killed himself,
32:25leaving behind his wife,
32:27Myrna.
32:29She's crazy!
32:30Oh, really?
32:31So you're saying
32:32this isn't you?
32:33When you found out
32:34who hustled your husband,
32:35you wanted to get even.
32:36So you followed the trio
32:37back to the pool hall,
32:38and you set yourself up
32:39as an innocent barfly.
32:40You kicked up
32:41the character for weeks,
32:42noticing the trio's
32:43personalities,
32:44their insecurities,
32:45weaknesses,
32:46making up rumors
32:46about them,
32:47all to set them up.
32:48And then there's
32:48the matter of the gun.
32:52It was in that moment
32:53I saw the reflection
32:55of the safe keypad
32:56from where I was standing.
32:58And then I realized
32:59I'm in Myrna's spot.
33:01You took the gun
33:02from Monty's safe,
33:03killed Tommy with it,
33:04and planted it on Kelly.
33:06Nuts!
33:06You can't prove anything.
33:08Actually, we can,
33:09because Tommy's stolen cash
33:10was just recovered
33:11at your hotel room.
33:13It's over, Myrna.
33:15You can drop the act now.
33:19That little punk
33:20ruined my life.
33:22He deserved what he got.
33:24Myrna, you're under arrest
33:25for murder.
33:26Now that you got your revenge,
33:27or they hoped
33:27the life sentence was worth it.
33:29You're a cop?
33:30Yeah.
33:31You coming?
33:32In a sec.
33:33All right, let's go, Myrna.
33:34Let's go.
33:36And by the way, Sal,
33:38never hustle a hustler.
33:50Just like old times,
33:52nice work, you two.
33:53Thank you, sir.
33:54Who's the best?
33:55Aw, thanks, Gates.
33:58We are, that's who.
33:59Okay.
34:00Just solved another case,
34:01so drinks on us.
34:03Drinks on you.
34:04Drinks on me.
34:04Kevin?
34:05Sure.
34:06I'll come.
34:07Brain check.
34:08I just got back to Boats a Mess.
34:09Boo.
34:10See you at Brownie's.
34:12Next time, promise.
34:16Nice work today, partner.
34:17I guess the dream team
34:20is back together.
34:21Yeah, I guess it is.
34:26Well, uh,
34:27don't spend too long
34:28on that report.
34:29I don't think anybody
34:30reads them anyways.
34:31Right.
34:35Um, hey,
34:36I know we didn't get a chance
34:37to chat much today,
34:38so I just wanted to ask.
34:39You doing okay?
34:43Yeah.
34:44Why?
34:45No, it was just
34:46a couple moments today
34:46where I felt like,
34:48I don't know,
34:49like there was
34:50something on your mind.
34:51Nope.
34:52Not me.
34:53Not a care in the world.
34:55Okay.
34:55Just me.
34:58Oh.
34:59Have a good night.
35:00You too.
35:01Bye.
35:05We need to talk.
35:07Sidebar, please.
35:17Look,
35:18I don't want to speak ill
35:19of your undead mother here,
35:20but are you kidding me?
35:21She shows up out of the blue
35:22asking for a hundred million
35:23the same night
35:23we finally get the Ashford money.
35:25It's a little convenient.
35:26There's no way
35:26she knows about the Ashford money,
35:28and I know it looks bad,
35:29but coincidences do happen.
35:30She's a professional liar.
35:32So are we.
35:32She abandoned you,
35:34left you to raise Max all alone.
35:35Do you really want
35:36to hand her our hard-earned dough?
35:38It's not a question of what.
35:39Kitty and Varga's no joke.
35:40If what she says is true,
35:41we'll all be dead
35:42if we don't pony up the cash.
35:44If it's true,
35:46I vote no.
35:47Look,
35:48it's going to take
35:48at least a month
35:49to get the money out
35:50of the Swiss accounts,
35:51launder it to cash,
35:51and get it back here.
35:52We might as well get started.
35:54We can decide later.
35:56Oh, honey, I'm sorry.
35:57I can't imagine
35:58what you're going through.
36:00Whatever you want to do,
36:00we'll do.
36:01Everything except for tonight?
36:10So you sure about this?
36:12Yeah.
36:12It's the only way
36:13for a fresh start.
36:15Get the money off to Varga,
36:16and let's just be done with this.
36:18Bon voyage,
36:19and a million.
36:21They could have been
36:22great together.
36:23Okay, well let me know
36:23if anything goes wrong
36:24with the handoff, okay?
36:25Where are you?
36:26Just finished grabbing
36:27a bite with the team,
36:28and I have one more
36:29stop to make.
36:36Police!
36:37Come out
36:37with your hands up.
36:42Mom?
36:43Hi.
36:47Max?
36:48What, um,
36:49what are you doing here?
36:50Ronnie and Zagrills
36:51were extra greasy tonight,
36:52and I didn't want you
36:52to miss out on the heartburn.
36:54But I see you got
36:55other dinner plans.
36:57Some market and steak tonight?
36:59You lucky boy.
37:00No, actually, Max,
37:02I should have mentioned
37:03this earlier, but...
37:05Hi.
37:07Max, this is, uh,
37:08Jessica.
37:09Wow, finally.
37:10I've heard so much about you.
37:12Oh, nice to meet you.
37:16Uh, we met down in Mexico.
37:17She was taking some time off,
37:19and so was I,
37:20and, uh,
37:21anyway, she's a journalist.
37:22Uh, are you still on vacation?
37:26No, I, I live here,
37:27in town.
37:29Do you want to stay for dinner?
37:30Oh, no, no,
37:31that's okay.
37:32I, I gotta go.
37:33Um, I was just
37:34dropping off these egg rolls.
37:36They pair really great
37:36with the steak.
37:38Right.
37:39Have a good night.
37:40Yeah, yeah.
37:41Good night.
37:44Nice to meet you.
37:51She seems really nice.
37:53Yeah, she, uh,
37:53she is.
37:55I'm gonna grab a beer.
37:56You want one?
37:57Yeah, great.
37:58Thanks.
37:59Ricky,
38:09we need two pints of ice cream
38:11and a 90s rom-com stacked.
38:15What's going on?
38:19Who are you?
38:20This is Tomo Hayashi.
38:22I'm Pierre on behalf of Mr. Varga.
38:24I was just explaining to your family
38:26that there's been a misunderstanding.
38:29You see, Mr. Varga demands payment
38:30in full before the deadline.
38:32That doesn't cover it?
38:33This money covers Vivian's
38:34original debt of 98 million dollars,
38:37but after 15 years
38:38with inflation and interest,
38:40you're about 30 million short.
38:42Oh, no, no,
38:43that's news to me.
38:46When's the deadline?
38:48In exactly 20 minutes.
38:50Oh, that's impossible.
38:52It is.
38:52Which is why Mr. Varga
38:53is offering another way
38:55to pay your remaining debt.
38:56Oh, that is so sweet of him.
38:58It's a task suited to your skills.
39:01If you accomplish it,
39:01he will consider you debt-free.
39:04No!
39:04We've already done
39:05everything he's asked.
39:07For all we know,
39:07he'll keep pushing the goalposts.
39:10Either he'll take the cash
39:11or we'll disappear with it.
39:12You can run,
39:13but you'd be drastically
39:16underestimating Varga's resources.
39:18You'd leave the others unprotected.
39:21What others?
39:23You may be
39:24willing to risk
39:26your lives,
39:27but
39:27will you risk theirs?
39:37What's the job?
39:41You are going to steal us
39:43a diamond.
39:47A diamond.
