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