00:00Previously on Wild Cards.
00:02Hi.
00:03Name.
00:04Max Mitchell.
00:05We used to work with them, but for some reason got transferred to Sea Patrol.
00:07You're gonna stay on the case?
00:08Thank you, ma'am.
00:09Both of you.
00:10What?
00:11Ma'am, you can't be serious. She's a con artist.
00:12I know who killed your brother.
00:14You know she's working really hard to get you out of here early.
00:17Sweet, sweet freedom!
00:18I managed to get Jonathan Ashford's video diary to tell you everything you need to know.
00:22You must be willing to walk away from anyone at the drop of a hat.
00:26If you cannot, that's your warning sign to cut them loose.
00:29Something definitely happened, but I don't want it to be weird between us.
00:32Friends?
00:33Friends.
00:34I know where the mole in the department is.
00:36Commissioner, you're under arrest.
00:38Take her away.
00:39Guys!
00:40Brass is putting you on leave.
00:42No, I get it.
00:43What are you gonna do?
00:44Finally take that trip Daniel talked about.
00:45That's awesome.
00:46You know Mark?
00:47And you, if you wanna come.
00:48Yeah.
00:49I just gotta see about something first.
00:52Oh, you guys are geniuses.
00:55To access the account, there are 12 passwords.
00:57Ricky, try George.
01:00It's 103 million!
01:02Was that crazy to think she was gonna show?
01:06Go, honey.
01:07Go to him.
01:08I'll be fine.
01:10Mom?
01:11One, two, three.
01:12Happy day.
01:13You've gotta walk.
01:14What's the heart on the way?
01:15Take on the time.
01:16Come to shine.
01:17Ain't no shame.
01:18Just like to see you.
01:19Mickey.
01:20Dig the new haircuts.
01:21Petrovitz.
01:22Have you been here in the gym?
01:23You're looking buff.
01:24Carver, how's the bunions feeling?
01:25Yeah.
01:26Whoa, miss.
01:27Where do you think you're going?
01:28Oh.
01:29Hold on.
01:30That's a toy.
01:31Excuse me?
01:32Joey.
01:33Joey.
01:34Joey.
01:35Joey.
01:36Joey.
01:37Joey.
01:38Joey.
01:39Joey.
01:40Joey.
01:41Joey.
01:42Joey.
01:43Joey.
01:44Joey.
01:45Joey.
01:46Joey.
01:47Joey.
01:48Joey.
01:49Joey.
01:50Joey.
01:51Joey.
01:52Joey.
01:53Joey.
01:54Max is a police consultant.
01:55Sorry, Max.
01:56He's new.
01:57Don't worry, Joey.
01:58I was new once, too.
02:00So, where's the action?
02:02It's right up here.
02:03I'll walk you over.
02:04Who are you working with today?
02:05I don't know.
02:06But between you and I, I hope not Yates.
02:08I thought you liked Yates.
02:09I love her.
02:10Just moon him back.
02:11But lately, she's been a little bit...
02:12Oh, come on!
02:13Scary.
02:14Morning.
02:15Yates?
02:16Is it morning?
02:17I can't even tell anymore.
02:18I just left Simmons at another crime scene to come to this one.
02:21That's our tenth open case.
02:22This one's our eleventh.
02:23Look, I know we've been understaffed since Ellis left, but maybe today things will turn
02:27around.
02:28Are you telling me to turn that frown upside down?
02:30In a manner of speaking?
02:31That's good advice.
02:32Do you want to hear some advice?
02:33Here we go.
02:34People!
02:35I'm officially declaring this no murder month.
02:37Okay?
02:38From this day forth, should a citizen of our city murder another, so help me goddess,
02:43I will kill you myself.
02:48What do we got?
02:49Murder.
02:50I'm gonna need this.
03:09What's the story, Olive?
03:11Just got here, but here's what we know.
03:13John Doe, no ID, no wallet.
03:15Early 20s, gunshot to the chest.
03:17We found a .32 caliber bullet.
03:19Went right through him.
03:20Okay, so no leads, nothing to go on?
03:21Not at the moment.
03:22Great.
03:23Another winner.
03:24Call me when you have something.
03:26We got something.
03:27See that blue line right there in his shirt?
03:29It's chalk.
03:31She's saying he's a school teacher?
03:32No.
03:33Look at his fingers.
03:36I noticed those, but I don't know where they're from yet.
03:38It's from playing pool.
03:39Moving the cue back and forth on the skin.
03:41You gotta play four to six hours a day to develop calluses like that.
03:44Trust me, I used to play a lot of pool growing up.
03:47Canvas every pool hall in a five-mile radius.
03:49I guarantee you someone's gonna recognize him.
03:51Hop to it, Sparky.
03:52You heard the lady.
03:53Nice work, Mitchell.
03:54Can I have my coffee back?
03:55No.
04:08All right, and you're sure about that?
04:10Okay, I'm gonna send an officer your way to take your statement.
04:12Thank you very much.
04:14All right.
04:15Got an eyewitness in our carjacking case that's willing to testify, so...
04:19Case number 10?
04:20Closed.
04:21Oh, great.
04:22Because we just picked up another one.
04:24You're kidding.
04:25Even I'm not that funny.
04:26Max.
04:27Chief wants to see you.
04:29Thanks, Tony.
04:33Ah!
04:34Mine!
04:35That's the office coffee machine.
04:36You need to put it back in the kitchen.
04:38Never!
04:39Chief, you wanted to see me?
04:43Hey, Max.
04:44You miss me?
04:54Hey!
04:55Hi.
04:56You're back.
04:57I'm back.
04:58Now that the internal investigation into the Russo affair is done, Alice has been cleared
05:01of any wrongdoing, and his reinstatement has been approved.
05:02That's great.
05:03Yeah, and I was just telling Alice that we're pretty backed up here, so I'd like him to start
05:04right away.
05:05Well, that's good, because Yates has been very overwhelmed with the caseload.
05:06Right.
05:07And since Max has stayed on as a consultant, I assumed you two would partner up again.
05:12Uh, that... works for me.
05:13Of course.
05:14Great.
05:15Your badge, detective?
05:17Collect your service weapon from the armory.
05:18Good to have you back.
05:19It's good to be back, sir.
05:21Oh, and, uh...
05:22I was just telling Alice that we're pretty backed up here, so I'd like him to start right
05:23away.
05:24That's good, because Yates has been very overwhelmed with the caseload.
05:26Right.
05:27And since Max has stayed on as a consultant, I assumed you two would partner up again.
05:29Uh, that... works for me.
05:32Of course.
05:33Great.
05:34Your badge, detective?
05:35Collect your service weapon from the armory.
05:37Good to have you back.
05:38It's good to be back, sir.
05:40Oh, and, uh, dig in that new haircut, sir.
05:43We think you lost a bet.
05:46Not that I don't like it, because I love it.
05:48Your old silky mane made you look soft.
05:51Now you look like a bullet.
05:53Deadly and mean.
05:54Get out of my office.
05:56Gone like the wind.
05:57Mackie, come on.
06:05Hey, I know that...
06:07Look, can I just say something first, please?
06:11Sure.
06:12Look, I am sorry I sprung that whole
06:15come-away-with-me thing onto you.
06:18It was wrong with me to do that.
06:20It was just after years of trying to find Daniel's killer,
06:22once I finally did, it was like...
06:24I was lost.
06:27And I was reaching out for something to hold onto,
06:29and I was wrong.
06:32And I see that now, and...
06:35I'm really sorry.
06:37And you do not owe me any kind of explanation
06:39for why you didn't show up at the doc, okay?
06:41I mean that.
06:42It's really sweet of you not to mention anything
06:44in front of Lee, but if you do not want to work together,
06:47I totally understand that.
06:48Just give me the word, and I'll make it happen.
06:50Thank you for all of that.
06:55But it's all good.
06:57We can move on.
06:59Onward, upward, moving on up.
07:02Okay, great.
07:04It's, uh...
07:05It's really good to see you.
07:10So, where have you been this last month?
07:13I took the boat down to Mexico.
07:15I was gonna travel around a little bit,
07:16but I ended up just settling down in this little surfing town.
07:19What'd you do there?
07:20I ate, drank, surfed, bummed around a little bit.
07:24It's hard for me to imagine you bumming around.
07:27Yeah, it was for me, too.
07:28Trust me.
07:28But, uh, no, I needed to clear my head.
07:30Honestly, I was trying to figure out
07:32how to just be myself again, you know?
07:34Well, you do seem a little bit more chill.
07:36And as long as I don't see you wearing a puka shell necklace
07:39or asking me to play hacky sack,
07:40we'll be okay.
07:41Because those are deal breakers.
07:43Yeah, I think I can manage that.
07:45Honestly, I was surprised to see you still working here,
07:47because, I don't know,
07:49I kind of had this funny feeling
07:50you were gonna skip town that night, so...
07:51Good for you. You, uh, proved me wrong.
07:53Well, since my dad got out of the joint,
07:56he needs to see his parole officer every week.
07:58We can't leave.
08:00I needed a legit job.
08:02They offered, and...
08:04Voila!
08:06Detective Mitchell.
08:08Kept the badge.
08:10Yeah.
08:11It was my one non-negotiable.
08:20Well, I'm glad you made the choice to stay
08:21instead of going back to a life of crime.
08:24You are done with all the crime, right?
08:27Oh, yeah.
08:27All that's behind me.
08:29Dust in the rearview mirror.
08:30Second.
08:31So, anything else going on?
08:33Nothing new in the exciting life of Max Mitchell.
08:37Um...
08:37Mom?
08:44Hi, Peanut.
08:48It's me.
08:49Mom?
08:49Mom?
08:50Oh, my God.
08:52Mom?
08:53Oh, my God.
08:56Shh.
08:58Mom?
09:02Vivian?
09:04Vivian?
09:04Nope. Nothing new. Just, uh, same old, same old.
09:24It's Chief Lee. He wants us in the observation room.
09:26Looks like somebody ID'd your Vic from this morning.
09:31Max, you were right. That's Monty.
09:34He owns a Third Street billiards room.
09:36Yeah, that's him. Tommy Z. That's what everybody called him.
09:39How'd you know him?
09:40He started coming around my place with his friends when he was around...
09:44I don't know, 16. Troublemakers.
09:46I got a lot of kids like that. Skipping school and playing pool.
09:50This kid was different. He was the most gifted player I have ever seen.
09:54Within a year, he was beating the pros.
09:56He could have been one of the all-time greats.
09:58When's the last time that you saw him?
10:00Last night. He came in, played a few games, and then left.
10:03Nothing out of the ordinary.
10:04Do you think of anybody who might want to mess with him?
10:06No. Not this kid.
10:08He lit up every room he walked into.
10:10You couldn't help but like him. He was a good kid.
10:13Seems as though Tommy was a rising star in the tournament circuit
10:17until about a year ago when he stopped competing professionally.
10:20So why did he stop?
10:21I don't know.
10:22What was Tommy doing for a living?
10:31I don't know. I mean, this and that. You know, odd jobs.
10:36Tommy was a pool hustler.
10:38How do you know that?
10:39Well, he won every professional tournament he was in, and then he suddenly stopped.
10:43The only reason someone that good stops competing is because they don't want to get recognized in pool halls.
10:47There's a lot more money to be made traveling across the country, fleecing players, and in sanctioned contests.
10:52Why didn't Monty tell us that?
10:53Because he doesn't want cops coming around his place. Owners usually take 15% of the action.
10:57So Tommy left the pool hall around 2 a.m. and was killed around 2.30 a.m.
11:01If it wasn't a random mugging, maybe someone followed him on the side of the bar.
11:04Unis took statements down the pool hall. Nobody mentioned anything suspicious.
11:08That's not surprising. They are gambling illegally.
11:11Well, if we go in there flashing badges, even bedazzled ones, we'll get a whole lot of nothing.
11:16That's when I wish you good luck with that new guy.
11:18Because Simmons and I are not taking on another case.
11:21Vamanos, Simmons!
11:23That was Spanish. She wants enchiladas.
11:26Did she just call me the new guy?
11:28Okay, you two. Come up with a plan.
11:30Don't I always?
11:46Hey, everyone. We heard this is where the action is.
11:50Who wants to shoot some pool?
12:00Well, I was hoping for a little more fanfare than that.
12:09Hey, uh, who do you gotta know around here to get in on one of the pool tables?
12:14It'll be a while.
12:16Why, did somebody die?
12:19As a matter of fact, yes.
12:22Oh, my bad. He was murdered.
12:25Who was he?
12:26Tommy Z. Best pool player in town.
12:29At least he used to be.
12:30Did you know him?
12:32Everybody knew Tommy. Everybody liked him.
12:35Why is it always the good ones that...
12:38Do you need a straw? Because you're crying into your drink.
12:42Everyone loved Tommy, right?
12:48I mean, the kid was overflowing with charm.
12:52And he wasn't only my friend.
12:54He was the best player I have ever seen.
12:57And maybe...
12:59Maybe the only guy who could have beaten me in my prime.
13:04To Tommy.
13:05Tommy.
13:06Yeah, yeah.
13:10We're gonna wrap this up.
13:12I got a game waiting.
13:14Hey.
13:15Kid.
13:16A little respect.
13:19Ignore him.
13:21No glass.
13:22Thanks, Al.
13:24Guess not everybody loved Tommy.
13:27I'll start working the tables, flash some cash around.
13:29Once these locals sense an easy mark, their lips will start laughing.
13:33Talk to that lady at the bar.
13:35She seems like a regular and there's a little more she wants to say.
13:39Go get her, tiger.
13:40Go get her, tiger.
13:45Damn it, kid.
13:48It's not fair.
13:50I'm sorry, Tom.
13:51I'd give anything to see you walk through that door again.
13:54Mom, where have you been for the past 15 years?
13:59Do you remember Monaco?
14:01Hard to forget, last time I saw you.
14:03And that casino con I wanted to pull?
14:05The one I told you was too dangerous and out of our league?
14:07Well, that was just the point.
14:09I wanted us to set our sights higher, reach for that brass ring.
14:12You did it anyway.
14:13Must be something in the jeans.
14:15Turns out you were right, dear.
14:17I got caught.
14:19So you've been in prison all these years?
14:22No.
14:23That would have been much easier.
14:25And safer.
14:26No, I have been on the run from Gideon Varga.
14:31No, Viv.
14:34Who's Gideon Varga?
14:36No one really knows, because nobody's ever seen his face.
14:39He has his hands in everything.
14:40Extortion, drugs, smuggling, casinos.
14:43Turns out Varga was behind the casino I robbed.
14:48How have I never heard of this guy?
14:50Some say he doesn't exist.
14:51That he's a myth.
14:52That his real talent is to be invisible.
14:54That's how he stayed untouchable.
14:56Come on.
14:57These days, nobody's untouchable.
15:01Gideon Varga is.
15:04He's the devil himself.
15:10Hey.
15:11Hey.
15:12You said you were looking for a game?
15:14Rack him up, champ.
15:16When I was a little girl,
15:17Daddy would always bring my brothers to the local pool hall.
15:20And when I asked to go, do you know what he would say?
15:22Girls can't play pool.
15:23Can you believe that?
15:24My God.
15:25That's terrible.
15:26So I gave up.
15:27But I never stopped dreaming of it.
15:29Then last month, my whole life flipped like a pancake.
15:32My filthy rich grandma died and left me everything.
15:35Of course, I did the decent thing and bought my daddy and my brothers a brand spankin' new double wide.
15:41But I kept the rest of Granny's millions for myself.
15:43So now that I'm retired, I'm gonna learn how to play some nine ball.
15:46And get a private massage therapist.
15:50And a personal chef.
15:52Oh.
15:53And a dog walker.
15:54Because rich folks don't need to be picking up anybody's doo-doo.
15:58Oh.
15:59Speaking of that.
16:00Hey, Siri.
16:01Remind me to get a dog.
16:03Wow.
16:04Well, I learned so much from you, I feel like I took advantage.
16:09We should've played for bigger bucks.
16:11Luckily, that's more where that came from.
16:14But first, I'm parched.
16:16Could I be the one you love?
16:20Well, I certainly sold my trailer trash to Rich's story.
16:23Okay.
16:24Did you learn anything interesting?
16:25Please.
16:26Does Netflix cancel every show I like?
16:28Is oat milk still disgusting?
16:30Hey, Max.
16:31Just give me the rundown.
16:32Please?
16:33Okay.
16:34That is Kelly.
16:36Tommy Z's grief-stricken girlfriend.
16:38And from what everybody says, she gladly would've taken a bullet for him.
16:41That there is Salvatore.
16:44Tommy's steak horse.
16:45So he finds all the matches and puts up the money for the bets.
16:47And pays all expenses for the three of them to travel the country hustling.
16:50Probably takes a nice chunk of their winnings, too.
16:52If Tommy was his cash cow, he wouldn't want to kill him.
16:56No.
16:58But he might.
17:00That's Jose.
17:01I heard Salvatore originally staked him that Tommy came along ago.
17:04He's just too good, so...
17:06Jose got kicked to the curb.
17:08Well, I heard the night Tommy was killed, Tommy and Jose played pool until 2am.
17:12Tommy won and then left with 50 grand.
17:15But when they found Tommy's body, the cash was gone.
17:17Maybe Jose's jealousy got the better of him.
17:20He kills Tommy, his known rival, and then he steals the 50k he felt was rightfully his.
17:24And now, Jose has Salvatore back as his steak horse.
17:29Seems like Tommy's death only benefits Jose.
17:31I think we just found your next game.
17:33Blow on it, Reggie honey, or good luck.
17:42Anything for you, sugar.
17:43Well, now I'm definitely gonna win.
17:49You're up?
17:50Well, I don't know which one it hit first.
17:52They all look so cute.
17:54They're numbered.
17:56They're supposed to sync them in order.
18:02Damn, honey.
18:03I guess your blower's busted.
18:09So you knew that guy who got shot, right?
18:12Timmy something?
18:13Tommy.
18:14What about him?
18:15I heard you got beat by him bad last night.
18:18We're gonna talk, or we're gonna play?
18:21Rumor has it you lost 50 grand.
18:24Ouch.
18:25And if I win, you gotta promise not to shoot me.
18:28What the hell are you talking about?
18:31Sure, I was pissed at Tommy.
18:33But the only thing I killed last night was a bottle of rye.
18:36Passed out, woke up on that table this morning.
18:39Jose.
18:41Got a game over here.
18:42We're not done playing.
18:43Actually, we're done.
18:51I passed out.
18:57Not the most original alibi.
19:00No, but it should be easy enough to confirm.
19:07What the hell is that?
19:08Voodoo doll.
19:09Of who?
19:10Ellis.
19:11Why do you have a pencil voodoo doll of Ellis?
19:15To control him.
19:16Find me a licorice and a marshmallow.
19:18I need to make one of Macs.
19:20What's going on?
19:22What are you doing?
19:23We gotta take them down a notch, okay?
19:25Why?
19:26Wake up, Simmons.
19:27When Ellis left, you and I, we became the number one team.
19:30The go-to guys.
19:31You know what I mean?
19:32Now that he's back, he could retake that number one spot.
19:35And I'm not gonna let that happen.
19:37Okay?
19:38I gotta taste the gold and I want more.
19:40Okay.
19:41What I think you need is a nice night's rest.
19:46For us to close a case and you'll feel bright as rain.
19:51Huh?
19:52No voodoo?
19:53No voodoo.
19:54I'm just gonna make him do the mock right now.
19:56Give me that.
19:57Come on.
19:58Fine.
20:02Hey, greats.
20:03Yes?
20:04You have any more of these?
20:07No.
20:08Do you have one of me?
20:10No.
20:11I don't.
20:13Hand it over.
20:21What are we gonna do with this?
20:22I talk to it sometimes when I'm lonely.
20:24Okay?
20:25There's a lot of hours between quitting time and clocking in.
20:29It's actually kind of sweet.
20:31I mean, it's weird and creepy.
20:36But it's sweet.
20:40Yeah.
20:41Just out of curiosity, do you ever wake up in the middle of the night doing the tango?
20:45Give me that. Give me that.
20:46Yeah. Okay.
20:47Wait.
20:52Yo, Burt.
20:53Hi, Burt.
20:54What's up?
20:55My blood pressure, cholesterol and rent.
20:57Get off you bastard!
20:59Hey!
21:00Hey, hey, hey.
21:01Help!
21:02Help!
21:03Stop!
21:04Stop!
21:05Stop!
21:07Hold on a second.
21:08Is this your jacket or not?
21:09It's Tommy's!
21:10I took it last night.
21:11Jose West passed out using it as a blanket.
21:13I was keeping it safe for Tommy.
21:14Well, what's the big deal?
21:15The deal is that Tommy's dead.
21:17What? I had no idea.
21:20You killed Tommy and Tommy!
21:22No, no, no, no!
21:24Stop!
21:26Here, take it.
21:29Try to do a nice thing, huh?
21:31Let me just get something from the pocket.
21:36How'd you get that?
21:37You bet big last night and lost.
21:39None of your business.
21:40Oh, yeah?
21:41Your two-year-old tab is my business.
21:45It's okay.
21:50Happy now?
21:52Paid in full.
21:53I guess hell has frozen over.
21:55Well, suddenly I'm not that thirsty anymore.
21:58Only of other establishments would appreciate our patrons such as myself.
22:07What's, uh, his deal?
22:09Bit of a loser, I'm afraid.
22:10Can never catch a break.
22:11He bet big for Jose to win last night.
22:16For a loser, that's some wad of cash he was flashing around.
22:18How does a broke gambler walk in here with a dead man's jacket and a pocket full of cash?
22:34What the hell?
22:35Very easy, Bert.
22:36We just want to know about the coat.
22:38The coat?
22:39I gave it back.
22:40Who the hell are you anyways?
22:41The police.
22:42And between Tommy's coat and that wad of cash you were flashing around, you just became our number one suspect for this murder.
22:47Since when is it a crime to borrow a coat?
22:53When that coat is full of cash and belongs to a murdered man.
22:56I told everyone.
22:57Jose was leaping it off.
22:58He was using Tommy's coat as a blanket.
23:00I didn't want him to puke all over it.
23:02Oh, you're a prince.
23:03However, Tommy left Monty's pool hall with 50 grand in his pocket and took a bullet in the chest.
23:09When they found the body, the money was gone.
23:11And today, you show up.
23:12A newly rich man.
23:14I can explain.
23:15Yeah, so can I.
23:16You got pissed off at Tommy, you followed him outside the bar, and then you shot him.
23:20And then you stole his 50k.
23:21No, he didn't kill Tommy.
23:22I swear.
23:23Bert, you made a big bet last night and you lost.
23:25Just admit it.
23:26That bet I placed on Jose, it wasn't my money.
23:30Really?
23:32It was Salvatore's money.
23:34He paid Bert to place the bet on Jose to win.
23:37Why would Salvatore bet against his own player?
23:39Because the game was fixed.
23:40Tommy was supposed to throw the match.
23:41Salvatore knew if he was seen betting against one of his own players,
23:44everyone would know it was fixed.
23:46So he had Bert place a bet for him.
23:48What he didn't know is that Tommy placed a bet.
23:51And he didn't throw the match.
23:52He won 50 grand.
23:54So Tommy screwed over Salvatore.
23:56Then the kid ends up shot and robbed.
23:58I don't need to connect the dots, do I?
24:00We did a little digging into Salvatore.
24:02Turns out he was a pretty great pool player himself back in the day.
24:05Hustled himself across the map.
24:07Yeah, and got the priors to prove it.
24:09Portland, Winnipeg, Rochester.
24:12An awful wagering, theft.
24:16Recurring assault charges.
24:18Not a guy you want to mess with.
24:20Got anything solid on him on this case?
24:22Not yet, but if we can find out why he betrayed him,
24:24then it should give us a clearer picture of what happened that night.
24:27Work fast before this guy hits the road again.
24:30I'm gonna need a minute to process Bert's release, okay?
24:32I'll be right back.
24:33Okay.
24:40Hey, baby girl.
24:41Been trying to reach ya.
24:42Ricky's back from Zurich in the morning, so we gotta make a decision now.
24:45Are we in or out?
24:47Gideon Varga is not the sort of man who forgives and forgets.
24:52But if you've never seen Varga, who caught you?
24:55Tomo Hayashi, Varga's right hand.
24:58While I was waiting for them to decide how to dispose of me, I managed to slip away and steal a car from a valet stand.
25:09You staged the car accident?
25:11I had to improvise.
25:12Tomo was right on my tail, so I leapt from the car before sending it over the cliff and into the sea.
25:18Rather operatic, I know, but I really had to sell it.
25:22And the money you stole?
25:24Unfortunately, it went down with the car.
25:26But Varga didn't believe you were really dead.
25:28Not without a body.
25:30I hoped he'd think I'd been swept out to sea, but every time I felt safe, I'd hear a report that Varga was still looking for me.
25:37Like I said, the guy really knows how to hold a grudge.
25:39But the only saving grace was that he thought that I was working alone.
25:45He didn't know my identity, nor did he know about you or your father.
25:48That's the secret that kept you both safe.
25:54So why did you come back?
25:56Over the years, I found moments to watch the two of you.
26:00From afar, because I knew the risks of getting too close, but I just missed you both so terribly.
26:06Then you landed in prison, and it was impossible to keep eyes on you, and I just felt like I'd been cut off from my heartbeat.
26:19When I heard you were being released, I just... I had to be there.
26:35Hey!
26:36What I didn't know was that Varga had uncovered one of my aliases, which tripped an alert at the border, and Tomohayashi caught up with me.
26:49With an ultimatum from Varga.
26:56Repay every last cent I stole, or...
27:00Or he'll kill you?
27:01No.
27:02If it was just that, she wouldn't have come back.
27:06When Hayashi found me outside the prison...
27:10Unfortunately, you were all exposed.
27:14To all those years of being so careful, just gone in an instant.
27:20So, if you don't pay Varga back...
27:23We're all dead.
27:27How much do you owe?
27:29Well, it's not a small amount of money, per se.
27:32How much, Vivian?
27:34A hundred million.
27:39It's not exactly chump change. Call me. There isn't much time left.
27:42Hey. You all right?
27:43Yeah.
27:45You ready to find out why Tommy screwed over Salvatore?
27:47Baby, I was born ready.
27:51Wow. You got more game than a truck stop arcade.
27:55You ever think about getting yourself a steak horse, like Salvatore?
27:58Nah.
27:59Well, I hear he and Tommy had a pretty sweet deal going on.
28:02Yes, we can turn sour awful quick.
28:03You're saying, uh, that their love boat started leaking?
28:06I heard them arguing about how much time left.
28:09Love boat started leaking?
28:11I heard them arguing outside in the alley.
28:13I was taking out the trash, and the two of them were really going at it
28:16after the big game between Tommy and Jose.
28:19So, uh, what were they fighting about?
28:21I only caught bits and pieces, so we can't be sure.
28:24But...
28:26Lately, I've heard a rumor.
28:29I don't think it was about pool.
28:30I think it was a bigger problem.
28:31Like what?
28:32Like girl problems.
28:34You've heard two's company, three's a crowd?
28:36Traveling around together, two guys and one girl?
28:38Are you saying Kelly cheated on Tommy with Salvatore?
28:41Sal's got money.
28:42He's a charmer.
28:44Wouldn't doubt he snuck in a side pocket shot when the real player wasn't looking.
28:48Double or nothing?
28:50Maybe later.
28:54So, you heard the rumors too?
28:57It certainly explains why Tommy stuck it to him with his screw you win.
29:01He was punishing Salvatore for sleeping with his girlfriend.
29:04Nothing like a messy romance to foul up a good partnership.
29:11Speak of the devils?
29:13Love or spat?
29:14I don't know.
29:15Let's find out, shall we?
29:20I know.
29:21I know it hurts, honey.
29:23I was a wreck when my robber died.
29:26But day after day, you just figure out how to survive.
29:31Thanks, Myrna.
29:32And Gin helps.
29:33Make it two this time.
29:35Make it three.
29:36I'm buying.
29:37Oh.
29:39You're lucky you have such amazing people help you get through this, Kelly.
29:42Amen to that.
29:43Now, if you'll excuse me, Mama's got a tinkle.
29:49Oh, geez, Myrna, careful.
29:51Why do you have a gun?
29:55No, no, no, that's not mine.
29:56Wait a minute.
29:58Hold on a second.
29:59It's a 38 millimeter.
30:03Same caliber gun that killed Tommy.
30:07That's my gun, Kelly.
30:09How the hell did you get my gun out of my safe?
30:11I've never seen it before.
30:12I didn't do this.
30:13One of the rounds has been fired.
30:14You need to call the cops.
30:15No.
30:16No, no, no, no, no.
30:17We don't call the cops.
30:18This is your gun, and it might have killed someone.
30:20So unless you want to go down for that,
30:21I'd pick up that phone and start dialing.
30:29Wait, what are you?
30:40You're cops?
30:42Yeah, we are.
30:43I'm a cop.
30:44She's not.
30:45I have a badge.
30:46It's bedazzled.
30:47Thanks.
30:48He's just jealous.
30:49Kelly, the ballistics report just came back,
30:51and your gun is a match for the murder weapon.
30:54I told you it's not my gun.
30:56Somebody put it there.
30:57Did you kill Tommy?
30:58Because you were having an affair with Sal?
30:59I would have never cheated on Tommy.
31:01Somebody started that stupid rumor.
31:04I was trying to get Tommy to leave Salvatore.
31:06Why?
31:07Tommy used to love the game just for the joy of it.
31:10But when Salvatore recruited him,
31:12and the money started rolling in, he changed.
31:15Money became all he cared about.
31:17The last trip we did was the worst.
31:19Took this guy in Winnipeg for everything he had.
31:22The guy was clearly in over his head,
31:24but Salvatore kept saying that wasn't our problem.
31:26What were you and Sal arguing about?
31:29Salvatore always held on to the winnings.
31:32And now he won't give me Tommy's cut.
31:34Says Tommy screwed him on the last game, so he's owed.
31:37Well, where were you when Tommy walked out of the bar that night?
31:40I stayed around till past three hoping Tommy would cool off and come back.
31:45But he never did.
31:47Now I know why.
31:49I know why.
31:58So, you believe her?
31:59I do.
32:00I think she loved Tommy.
32:01Besides, why keep the murder weapon in your purse?
32:04Maybe Salvatore shot Tommy and planted the gun on her.
32:07Or Kelly actually did do it.
32:08She was just waiting for the right time for the gun back in the safe.
32:11Do you really believe that?
32:12You gotta remember this whole thing is centered around a rumor of an alleged affair.
32:15So either it's true or the whole thing's a frame-up to make him look guilty,
32:18but I would do that.
32:20Somebody who had access to the safe and somebody who hated Tommy enough to kill him?
32:27Somebody who had access to the safe.
32:31What are you thinking?
32:33Give me a sec.
32:37Bingo.
32:46Hey!
32:47You wanna play a game?
32:49Me?
32:50No.
32:51I don't play anymore.
32:53Okay.
32:54Well, I'm sure someone else will wanna play for this 20K.
32:59Hey.
33:01What the hell?
33:02Huh?
33:03For old times' sake.
33:24I guess I still got it.
33:26That's what everybody says.
33:28Hey, Tommy had his last game at this table.
33:30Didn't he?
33:31I heard it was one hell of a game.
33:32Two with a nail to the end, right?
33:35But nobody knew that the game was fixed.
33:39It was not.
33:40Then why'd you have Burt bet against Tommy on your behalf?
33:42Because the game was fixed.
33:44Tommy was supposed to throw the match, but he didn't.
33:46What?
33:47You fixed the game in my place?
33:48It was Salvatore's idea.
33:49I just went along with it.
33:50Are you crazy?
33:51Sal, what the hell are you thinking?
33:53What is all this?
33:54Focus, Sal.
33:55You got 20K on the line.
34:03Oh, my turn.
34:06Okay, so let's review here.
34:08Tommy was supposed to throw the game, but didn't.
34:10Because of that, it makes sense that people heard you arguing about the fact that he beat Jose.
34:15That wasn't the only thing you two were arguing about that night, was it?
34:19There was juicy ghosts going around that you were sleeping with Kelly, and Tommy caught wind of it.
34:25I never touched Kelly.
34:27I mean, I know that, but Tommy didn't, and he was pissed.
34:30And that's why he decided to screw you over on the game.
34:40Who the hell are you?
34:41Somebody who likes to play games.
34:43Speaking of, there was somebody else who was playing you, and everyone else in this bar.
34:48That affair rumor wasn't just gossip.
34:50Somebody started that for a reason.
34:51You want to know who that was?
34:52It was Myrna.
34:53The lady who's always at the bar.
34:55I think her name's Myrna.
34:56Who are y'all looking at?
35:01Myrna told everyone that Salvatore was sleeping with Kelly.
35:05What?
35:06I didn't do anything.
35:07You remember Winnipeg?
35:09Yeah.
35:10What about it?
35:11There was a man there.
35:12You took him for all that he was worth.
35:15He was already way over his head in the game, not to mention that his house was triple mortgaged.
35:22He was humiliated that he was about to lose his house, so he killed himself, leaving behind his wife, Myrna.
35:31She's crazy!
35:32Oh, really?
35:33So you're saying this isn't you?
35:35When you found out who hustled your husband, you wanted to get even.
35:38So you followed the trio back to the pool hall, and you set yourself up as an innocent barfly.
35:42You kicked up the character for weeks, noticing the trio's personalities, their insecurities, weaknesses, making up rumors about them, all to set them up.
35:50And then there's the matter of the gun.
35:55It was in that moment I saw the reflection of the safe keypad from where I was standing.
36:01And then I realized I'm in Myrna's spot.
36:04You took the gun from Monty's safe, killed Tommy with it, and planted it on Kelly.
36:09Nuts!
36:10You can't prove anything.
36:11Actually, we can, because Tommy's stolen cash was just recovered at your hotel room.
36:15It's over, Myrna.
36:19You can drop the act now.
36:23That little punk ruined my life.
36:26He deserved what he got.
36:28Myrna, you're under arrest for murder.
36:30Now that you got your revenge, I really hope the life sentence was worth it.
36:33You're a cop?
36:34Yeah.
36:35You coming?
36:36In a sec.
36:37All right, let's go, Myrna.
36:39Let's go.
36:40And by the way, Sal?
36:45Never hustle a hustler.
36:55Just like old times, nice work, you two.
36:58Thank you, sir.
36:59Who's the best?
37:00Aw, thanks, Gates.
37:03We are.
37:04That's who.
37:05Okay.
37:06Just solved another case, so...
37:08Drinks on us.
37:09Drinks on you.
37:10Drinks on me.
37:11Coming?
37:12Sure.
37:13I'll come.
37:14I just got back to boats a mess.
37:16Boo.
37:17See you at Brownie's.
37:19Next time.
37:20Promise.
37:23Nice work today, partner.
37:25I guess the dream team is back together.
37:28Yeah, guess it is.
37:33Well, uh, don't spend too long on that report.
37:37I don't think anybody reads them anyways.
37:39Right.
37:43Um, hey, uh, I know we didn't get a chance to chat much today, so I just wanted to ask...
37:50You doing okay?
37:51Yeah.
37:53Why?
37:54No, it was just a couple moments today where I felt like...
37:57I don't know, like there was something on your mind.
38:00Nope.
38:01Not me.
38:02Not a care in the world.
38:03Okay.
38:04Just me.
38:07Oh.
38:08Have a good night.
38:09You too.
38:15We need to talk.
38:18Sidebar, please.
38:19Look, I don't want to speak ill of your undead mother here, but are you kidding me?
38:31She shows up out of the blue asking for a hundred million the same night we finally get the Ashford money.
38:35It's a little convenient.
38:36There's no way she knows about the Ashford money.
38:38And I know it looks bad, but coincidences do happen.
38:41She's a professional liar.
38:42So are we.
38:43She abandoned you.
38:44Left you to raise Max all alone.
38:46Do you really want to hand her our hard-earned dough?
38:49It's not a question of want.
38:50Kitty and Varga's no joke.
38:51If what she says is true, we'll all be dead if we don't pony up the cash.
38:55If it's true, I vote no.
38:59Look, it's gonna take at least a month to get the money out of the Swiss accounts,
39:02launder it to cash, and get it back here.
39:04We might as well get started.
39:06We can decide later.
39:08Oh, honey, I'm sorry.
39:09I can't imagine what you're going through.
39:11Whatever you want to do, we'll do.
39:16Everything except for tonight?
39:22So you sure about this?
39:24Yeah.
39:25It's the only way for a fresh start.
39:27Get the money off to Varga, and let's just be done with this.
39:30Bon voyage.
39:32And a million.
39:33They could have been great together.
39:35Okay, well let me know if anything goes wrong with the handoff, okay?
39:38Where are you?
39:39Just finished grabbing a bite with the team.
39:41And I have one more stop to make.
39:43Police!
39:44Come out with your hands up!
39:45Mark!
39:46Hi!
39:47Max?
39:48What, um...
39:49What are you doing here?
39:50Ronnie and Zay girls were extra greasy tonight, and I didn't want you to miss out on the heartburn.
39:52But I...
39:53So you got other dinner plans?
39:54Some market and steak tonight?
39:55You lucky boy.
39:56No.
39:57Actually, Max, I should have mentioned this earlier, but...
39:59Hi.
40:00Hi.
40:01Hi.
40:02Hi.
40:03Hi.
40:04Hi.

40:21Hi.
40:22Hi.
40:23Max, this is, uh...
40:24Jessica.
40:25Wow.
40:26Finally.
40:27I've heard so much about you.
40:28Oh.
40:29Nice to meet you.
40:31Uh, we met down in Mexico.
40:34She was, uh, taking some time off, and so was I, and, uh...
40:37Anyway, she's a journalist.
40:39Uh, are you still on vacation?
40:42No, I live here.
40:44In town.
40:45Do you want to stay for dinner?
40:47Oh, no.
40:48No, that's okay.
40:49I gotta go.
40:50Um, I was just dropping off these egg rolls, and they pair really great with the steak.
40:55Right.
40:56Have a good night.
40:57Yeah.
40:58Yeah.
40:59Good night.
41:01Nice to meet you.
41:09She seems really nice.
41:10Yeah, she, uh, she is.
41:13I'm gonna grab a beer.
41:14You want one?
41:15Yeah.
41:16Great.
41:17Thanks.
41:27Ricky!
41:28We need two pints of ice cream and a 90s rom-com stacked.
41:34What's going on?
41:35Who are you?
41:39This is Tomo Hayashi.
41:41I'm Pierre on behalf of Mr. Varga.
41:43I was just explaining to your family that there's been a misunderstanding.
41:48You see, Mr. Varga demands payment in full before the deadline.
41:51That doesn't cover it.
41:52This money covers Vivian's original debt of 98 million dollars, but after 15 years with inflation and interest, you're about 30 million short.
42:02Oh, no, no, that's news to me.
42:06When's the deadline?
42:09It's in exactly 20 minutes.
42:11Oh, that's impossible.
42:12It is.
42:13Which is why Mr. Varga is offering another way to pay your remaining debt.
42:17Oh, that is so sweet of him.
42:19It's a task suited to your skills.
42:22If you accomplish it, he will consider you debt-free.
42:25No!
42:26We've already done everything he's asked.
42:28For all we know, he'll keep pushing the goalposts.
42:31Either he'll take the cash, or we'll disappear with it.
42:34You can run, but you'd be drastically underestimating Varga's resources.
42:40You'd leave the others unprotected.
42:44What others?
42:46You may be willing to risk your lives, but will you risk theirs?
42:55What's the job?
43:05You are going to steal us a diamond.
43:25Here we go.
43:31I'll be right back.
43:35I'll be right back.
43:37I'll be right back.
43:39I'll be right back.
