00:00Previously on Wild Cards.
00:02You know she's working really hard to get you out of here early.
00:05Once we wrap up our latest project, we'll be set for life.
00:08You, me, Ricky.
00:11I can't wait.
00:12We'll leave everything and everyone behind.
00:14Because I know who killed your brother.
00:16Ted was in the wrong place at the wrong time.
00:18Tough luck for him, but I had to take him home.
00:20I've been waiting for over a year for breaking this case.
00:22You can't be involved.
00:23What do you got, Ricky?
00:24Tell us they found him.
00:25His name's Billy O'Brien, nicknamed Zippo.
00:27He's a mob enforcer.
00:28We missed him.
00:29He had a police scanner in there.
00:30He must have known we were coming.
00:31Damn it.
00:34So this parole board walks into a bar.
00:36The bartender says,
00:37Hey, guys.
00:37How about a round on the house?
00:39And they say,
00:40Sure.
00:41As long as no one's expecting a good behavior from us tonight.
00:48Wow. Tough room.
00:49George Graham.
00:50This parole board has been convened to determine your potential,
00:53or lack thereof, for reintegration and risk to the community.
00:57As you're aware, the initial term of your incarceration has been truncated due to your daughter's cooperation with the police.
01:04And I want you to know how grateful I am for this opportunity.
01:06We need more than gratitude.
01:07We need assurance that you understand the impact of your crimes on your victims.
01:12Genuine insight can be a strong indicator of personal growth.
01:16Absolutely.
01:18The time I've had inside these walls has given me a lot of opportunity to reflect and understand how I
01:26came to be here.
01:27I've been doing this a long time, Mr. Graham.
01:30But this situation is unusual, to say the least.
01:33So, this is your time to tell us what you've learned,
01:35and why we should believe that you are now ready to become a law-abiding citizen.
01:49Like most life stories you've probably heard, mine begins with a mixed-up childhood.
01:54I won't bore you with the whole soap opera, but the bottom line is, by the time I was 16,
01:58I was out and on my own.
02:01Go on.
02:02With no parents, no family, and no money, the streets will chew you up and spit you out, unless you
02:09figure out how to survive.
02:11I was at my lowest, most desperate moment, when I met someone who taught me how to do just that.
02:19Survive.
02:20He became my mentor, teaching me the craft of the con artist trade.
02:24I knew it was wrong, but when you don't know where your next meal is coming from, you do what
02:30you have to do just to eat.
02:32Anyway, in time, he became like a father to me.
02:36So I worked really hard at everything he taught me.
02:40And the harder I worked, the better I did, the more proud of me he became.
02:49Having this time in here to think, I've come to realize I wasn't seeking money all these years.
02:57I was seeking approval.
03:01Affirmation that I mattered to someone.
03:04To anyone.
03:06So where did all that get me?
03:08In here.
03:08There's so much I want to do with the time I have left on Earth.
03:12I want to give back to people, not take from them.
03:15I want to be a contribution to society, not a detriment, but most importantly,
03:20I want to be a proper father to my daughter.
03:24I want to be the kind of father I never had.
03:29Nothing means more to me than that.
03:40Hallelujah.
03:41Fresh air, sunshine.
03:43Davis, my man, this is a two-clam day.
03:46I don't get it.
03:47Well, you know happy as a clam?
03:49This is definitely a two-clam.
03:53What's wrong?
03:54I'm really going to miss you, man.
03:57Don't worry. You can keep the remainder of my charcuterie of the month deliveries.
04:03I guess we both have good reasons to celebrate today. I asked my girl to marry me.
04:08Really? Oh, congratulations. You're a good man, Davis. You're gonna make a great husband.
04:13I couldn't have done it without your help or advice. You're just really good at this
04:17relationship stuff. People are my business. Listen, if there's any way I can ever repay you...
04:22You'll be the first to know.
04:32Sweet, sweet freedom.
04:34Hey!
04:35But we did it!
04:38You did it. Both of you did it. This is only the beginning, guys. What's going on with our other
04:44project?
04:45One last piece to fall into place. And then we'll be sitting pretty.
04:48When can I see it?
04:49Patience, young grasshopper. You wouldn't rush Picasso, would you?
04:52No, I'd just forge him. I mean, any five-year-old with a Sharpie could do what he did.
04:56Dad, you just got out of prison.
04:58You know what? You're right. Let's get out of here. I never want to see this godforsaken place again.
05:13Okay.
05:17I'm almost done, and then you can have a little catnip. Not too much. Been overdoing it lately.
05:26All right. Should we give it a try? Take that as a yes?
05:47We did it! I can't believe it. We did it!
05:57Yeah, I know. Daniel would've loved this.
06:08Hey, Chief. What's going on?
06:09You sitting down? I got news.
06:12Sounds like bad news.
06:13On the contrary. I've just been informed the federal authorities have caught your brother's killer.
06:34And voila! Home sweet home.
06:38Wow. Swanky.
06:40Yeah. Lots of period details, original flooring, and gobs of natural light.
06:46As long as there's no bars on the windows, I'm happy.
06:51You guys look pretty settled in here.
06:53I thought this place was just temporary until I got out.
06:56Yeah, for sure. There's nothing here we can't leave behind in a flash.
06:59No attachments. Material, emotional, or otherwise. Hey, Max?
07:03Yes. Absolutely. It's Alice.
07:07What's new from Tall, Dark, and Surly?
07:09I'm so sorry, guys. Um, I gotta get to the station.
07:12Now?
07:12I thought you were all done with that cop stuff. I'm out. You're off the hook.
07:16Yeah, I just got a few loose ends to tie up, okay? It won't be long.
07:20I just got out. You're leaving already?
07:22Stop pouting. Ricky's gonna make you lunch, and then I'll be right back.
07:26Okay? Mwah.
07:31Who sends my ass? Something's up.
07:33Ah, don't mind her.
07:35Okay, are you hungry?
07:36Am I hungry?
07:38Does Rick Springfield wish he had Jessie's girl?
07:40Can Jack Nicholson handle the truth?
07:42Does Kim Kardashian have a juice...
07:43Okay, okay.
07:45Let me, let me get you something.
07:48In the meantime...
07:52What's this?
07:53There's some videos you're gonna wanna see.
07:55Ah, come on, Ricky. I'm not that lonely.
07:56Not those kind of videos.
07:59Sit. Watch.
08:06George, take your time with these.
08:08It's a lot to take in.
08:19Well, hello, old friend.
08:21Well, here we are.
08:26Hey, I got here as soon as I can.
08:30That's Billy O'Brien, otherwise known as Zippo.
08:33And we're sure that's him?
08:34We're about to find out.
08:38Kid was in the wrong place at the wrong time.
08:41Tough luck for him, but I had to take him out.
08:43Well, I heard the kid had a brother who's a cop.
08:45Name is Cole Ellis.
08:47Ah, I don't need to worry.
08:49Ain't got no connection to me.
08:51Hey, I gotta go.
08:54What's your voice, Zippo?
08:57Not much point in denying it.
08:59Yes, it is.
09:00So you admit to shooting Daniel Ellis two years ago?
09:03You already got me admitting to that in the recording.
09:06What more do you want?
09:07I want to know who hired you.
09:08In my business, you don't ask for names.
09:11I get to call, I do the job.
09:13What did you mean when you said Daniel Ellis
09:15was in the wrong place at the wrong time?
09:17That's all he told me.
09:18I don't know what place or what time,
09:21but the kid must have seen something he shouldn't have.
09:23I didn't get any more details,
09:24because it's none of my business.
09:26Who was the client?
09:27I told you, I don't know.
09:28You're lying.
09:28And you're taking the pass!
09:31I give you a name, and I get shipped in the shower.
09:34I suck it up, I do my time.
09:3615 to 20, I'm back on the streets alive.
09:39Show's over, folks.
09:41Get me a lawyer!
09:43No.
09:45No, this is far from over.
09:46Zippo was just the trigger man, and you know it.
09:48Somebody else ordered that hit,
09:49and we need to find out who and why.
09:51That's true.
09:51We need to press him harder.
09:53He's signing a full confession right now.
09:55He's accepted the maximum sentence.
09:57The prosecutor's drawing up the paperwork as we speak.
10:00So where's the task force that was assigned to this?
10:01What do they have to say?
10:02Both this department and our federal colleagues
10:04have spent an enormous amount of time, money,
10:07and manpower to find this person.
10:09What's that supposed to mean?
10:10That they just gave up?
10:11They don't care anymore?
10:12It means I share your frustration.
10:15Look, if we keep pressing him now,
10:16he could give us everything.
10:17With a full confession,
10:18we don't have any leverage over him.
10:23Then pull the deal.
10:24That would mean taking this to trial.
10:26The prosecutor will not risk losing
10:27a slam dunk conviction on a murderer.
10:30So now after two years of tracking down every lead,
10:34turning over every stone,
10:35obsessing over every detail,
10:37when we are literally this close
10:38to getting the whole truth,
10:40you want me to just stop?
10:42You?
10:44Yes.
10:46Any further attempt on your part to force the issue
10:48could be construed as a conflict of interest
10:50and may actually jeopardize the conviction.
10:52Is that what you want?
10:55Ellis, we are family in this department.
10:57I give you my word.
11:00I will keep this case open and alive
11:02until every last person involved is caught.
11:06Now, you and Max have done an amazing job
11:08the last few months.
11:09And, of course, we'd like all our cases
11:12to be wrapped up with a neat little bow,
11:14but, you know, things rarely work out like that.
11:17That is not good enough for me.
11:19And it shouldn't be.
11:20And I hope we get all the answers someday.
11:23But for now, I need you to prepare
11:26that this is as far as it may go.
11:31To that effect, why don't you take a few days off?
11:35No.
11:37No.
11:38Not when I'm this close.
11:40For your own well-being.
11:42It's a lot to process.
11:43Right now, your job is to take care of yourself.
11:49Wait.
11:55Wow.
11:57You know what?
11:58I'm gonna leave before I say something I regret.
12:04Max.
12:05Max.
12:05Let him blow off some steam.
12:08He's right.
12:09We're so close to the whole truth.
12:12If we just keep investigating, we...
12:13You're forgetting there is no we anymore.
12:15Your father's been released from prison,
12:17and my dream team is done.
12:19Yeah, technically,
12:20but I am more than happy to see this through.
12:22Max.
12:23I am very proud of the way you've turned your life around
12:26and all UNL's have accomplished.
12:28To be honest,
12:30your success rate has also helped my campaign for mayor.
12:33The election's still a couple days away,
12:35but I'm ahead by three points.
12:38Well, I'm happy for you, but I don't...
12:40All good things must come to an end.
12:42Must they?
12:47Commissioner?
12:48Your car is ready.
12:49You'll have to excuse me.
12:50I'm, um, cooking risotto on the morning TV show.
12:55That's politics for you.
12:57Cheer up, Max.
12:58As my campaign says,
13:00there are better days ahead.
13:08Tell that to Ellis.
13:20Anybody order some deep-fried comfort food?
13:23I told Ronnie you were having a tough day,
13:25so you gave me extra packets of that Dayglo orange sauce
13:28that you like.
13:28Well, thanks, but I don't have much of an appetite.
13:33Talk to me.
13:35What do you want me to say, Max?
13:36I'm happy we caught this shooter,
13:38that I have some...
13:40overwhelming sense of closure,
13:41because I don't.
13:42I want you to tell me the truth.
13:46The truth is, for the first time in my career,
13:48I honestly don't care about the rules anymore.
13:50I'm not gonna let this go.
13:51I can't just put it aside and wait.
13:53I don't want him this close.
13:55Well, you heard Russo.
13:56She's not letting you anywhere near this case.
13:57And Yates, Simmons, Lee,
14:00they can't help you either.
14:02I know.
14:02God, if I could just get Sippo alone and talk to him.
14:05He knows more than he's telling.
14:07Well, he's in the system now,
14:08so you can't get to him without anyone finding out.
14:17But I think I know someone who can.
14:22Maybe because I'm getting older,
14:24or maybe because today is Father's Day.
14:27But I've been thinking a lot lately about my dad.
14:30I was an only child,
14:32and I grew up in a small town,
14:33and we always had next to nothing.
14:36And when my dad came back from Vietnam,
14:38he tried his best to hold it together.
14:40But then we lost mom to cancer,
14:41and then we lost the house,
14:43and after that, well,
14:45I guess he just couldn't do it anymore.
14:48So one morning, I woke up alone in our cheap motel room,
14:51and this bag was next to my bed
14:53with all my clothes and comic books,
14:56deck of cards,
14:58and this note pinned to a $10 bill.
15:02I am so proud of you
15:04and the man that you have become.
15:07Take care, son.
15:09I was 13 years old, and I never saw him again.
15:12But I understood what he was going through,
15:14and I didn't blame him.
15:15Hell, he knew I knew what to do.
15:18And it turned out this bag was the best thing
15:20he could have ever left me.
15:22You don't believe you can fit your whole life
15:24into a sack this size,
15:25that is, until you feel the heat coming for you.
15:28Then you'll find room to spare,
15:30because nothing, absolutely nothing,
15:32matters more than your own freedom.
15:35Say, you know, over the years,
15:36I always wondered if we'd ever run into each other again.
15:40And for all I know,
15:43maybe we did somewhere.
15:44We just didn't recognize each other.
15:48Go figure.
15:56So glad you're back.
16:00Hey, Dad.
16:01It's good to see you, too.
16:03Everything okay?
16:04I just want to let you know
16:05I'm never going to leave you again, honey.
16:07Got it.
16:08Whatever you need, honey.
16:09I'll always be here for you.
16:11Thanks, Dad.
16:12You're the best.
16:15Ellis?
16:16George.
16:17Congrats on the early release.
16:19Couldn't have done it without the two of you,
16:21so, from my heart.
16:22Thanks.
16:23Well, I'm glad you're in such a grateful mood.
16:27Why?
16:27We need a favor.
16:28Actually, I need a favor.
16:30Of course.
16:31You've given me the greatest gift of all, freedom.
16:33And thanks to you,
16:34I'll never set foot on those concrete floors
16:36or lay eyes on that barbed wire ever again.
16:39The least I could do is try to make it up to you two.
16:41How can I help?
16:42We need you to go back to prison.
16:51George, you know you don't have to do this.
16:54I mean, you did just get released a few hours ago.
16:56Ellis had almost as much to do with my earlier release
16:59as Max did.
17:00And now he's the one that needs help,
17:01and you know the rule.
17:02Yeah, always lend a hand to those who need it.
17:05There's our guy.
17:07Davis.
17:08George.
17:08Hey.
17:09What's going on?
17:10Looks like I'm cashing in that favor a little earlier than I expected.
17:13Of course.
17:14Anything.
17:15What do you need?
17:16You ever hear of a rooftop handshake?
17:25What are we doing on the roof?
17:27Hey!
17:28You Zippo?
17:29Who's asking?
17:30I'm Snake Eyes.
17:31This is my associate, Crazy Pete.
17:33You don't wanna know how we got that name.
17:35Now we're gonna ask you a few questions.
17:37You make it easy,
17:38you can go back to your cozy six-inch spring mattress.
17:41You make it hard,
17:42you're gonna take a dive off that roof.
17:44You understand?
17:45And who the hell are you?
17:46Long answer.
17:49Get it!
17:50Come on!
17:51Now look, we're just looking for some friendly information.
17:54You killed a man with connections,
17:55so we're gonna need some answers about the death of Daniel Ellis.
17:58I'm not telling you a damn thing.
18:00So be it.
18:01Oh!
18:02Hey!
18:02Go on!
18:04Oh!
18:05Oh!
18:05Hey!
18:07Oh!
18:07God!
18:08Ah!
18:09Pull me down!
18:10Pull me down!
18:10Happy to.
18:11Don't think you'd be happy with the fall at the end.
18:13Okay.
18:14Please, man.
18:14I'll tell you whenever you want.
18:16Don't kill me.
18:16Alright, then spill it.
18:17They made me wait for him,
18:18in the alley,
18:20between 12th and Main Street,
18:21at 9.
18:22Kill him!
18:23Kill him when he arrives!
18:24And then drop the body across town in the park of a turd.
18:27Okay.
18:28They wanted me to make it look like a muggin!
18:29Why?
18:30I don't know!
18:31Okay?
18:31I'll just follow an order!
18:32Who gave the order?
18:33I had a guy who used to throw jobs my way, alright?
18:36Reggie Babs!
18:39What?
18:40Reggie was an inmate here.
18:41Got the shiv six months ago.
18:43That's all I know!
18:44Hey!
18:44Okay!
18:44I swear!
18:45I swear!
18:45Please don't throw me over!
18:48Hey!
18:48Ah!
18:49Oh!
18:50Oh!
18:51No, no, no, no!
18:52Hey!
18:53Oh, God!
18:53Please, no!
18:57Hey!
18:57Hey!
18:58Hey!
19:00Get gone, warm breath.
19:01Thanks, Davis.
19:02Are you kidding?
19:03This was fun.
19:04I felt like it was on the wire.
19:05Oh!
19:06Oh, you're fine.
19:07Hey!
19:09Hey!
19:09Hey!
19:10You sure that's all that zipper knew?
19:11Trust me, if he knew anything else, he would've shared.
19:14That guy was squirming for his life.
19:16Now it finally makes sense.
19:17The body was moved.
19:19I always thought it was strange that nobody heard a gunshot in the park.
19:21By the look of the alleyway at 12th and Mill Street, it's totally deserted.
19:25Yeah, perfect place to kill somebody.
19:27All right, so we have some new information.
19:29What now?
19:30Now we talked to Tyson.
19:31Who's Tyson?
19:33He's a kid Daniel used to work with.
19:35He'd be in his twenties by now.
19:36He aged out of the system and fell back in with a rough crowd, so Daniel started playing basketball with
19:40him on Tuesdays to help him get back on track.
19:42Including the Tuesday that Daniel was murdered?
19:44Tyson said he was playing basketball with Daniel the night he was killed, but that can't be true.
19:48Zippo killed him across town at the same time.
19:50Why would Tyson lie?
19:52That's what we gotta find out.
20:04Tyson?
20:04Hey, I'm Daniel's brother.
20:06Appreciate you talking with me.
20:08Just hoping to ask you a few questions.
20:09Is this gonna take long?
20:11I just got off work.
20:12I already told the police everything I knew back then.
20:14Look, they just picked up Daniel's shooter, and we're going over the case files one last time.
20:19Can you tell me about that night?
20:22Uh, Daniel and I shot some hoops, like always, and, uh...
20:28Who won?
20:29Uh, me.
20:32Then the next day I heard that Daniel got killed, and I was like, whoa.
20:38Shocked, you know?
20:39What time did you guys meet up at?
20:41Nine.
20:42Nine.
20:43You sure it was nine?
20:44Yeah.
20:44Yeah, we always met at nine.
20:46Uh, are we done?
20:48Yeah.
20:48That's great, Tyson.
20:57Well?
20:58He's definitely lying.
20:59Did you get anything else out of him?
21:01No, but I didn't expect to.
21:02Then why bother talking to him?
21:06So we could follow him.
21:29He was so nervous when I was interviewing him, I knew he'd run right to whoever got him to lie.
21:34Then this place must be connected to Daniel's head.
21:36That's what I'm thinking.
21:37Could even be a hub for whoever hired Zippo.
21:40So who owns it?
21:41Elena Ramos.
21:43She's owned the Granville Jazz Club for the last six years.
21:47Does Elena have a criminal record?
21:53Nothing to speak of.
21:55Divorced.
21:56Eighteen-year-old kid named Samson.
21:58Samson Ramos.
21:59God, I know that name.
22:02Ricky, look in the box that I left there.
22:04It's Daniel's case files.
22:05There's a list of all the kids that Daniel worked with.
22:08Should be the first one right on top.
22:09Can you check and see if Samson was one of them?
22:11Yep, here it is.
22:12You were right.
22:14Anyway.
22:14There's a note here that says Samson was never questioned by the police.
22:18What does it all mean?
22:19We just got one step closer to solving Daniel's murder.
22:34Cynthia Smith?
22:36That's right.
22:37Hi.
22:37I'm Cole Ellis, Daniel's brother.
22:39The detective.
22:40I remember you.
22:42We met at Daniel's funeral.
22:45I'm sorry.
22:46That day is a blur for me.
22:47Of course.
22:49What can I help you with?
22:50I was looking for some more information on a kid that Daniel was working with here at the center.
22:54Why?
22:54There's been a development in Daniel's case.
22:56Well, I think we both know any information concerning our kids here is confidential.
23:01I know.
23:01And I understand.
23:02But, look, this kid could be the key to solving Daniel's case.
23:11Come with me.
23:12I'll tell you what I can for Daniel.
23:16What was this boy's name?
23:17Samson Ramos.
23:20Oh, wow.
23:22Samson.
23:24When he first came to us, he had already fallen in with some bad people.
23:28He was a tough case.
23:29I couldn't even get through to him.
23:30But Daniel, he saw a sweetness in him.
23:34A sort of thoughtfulness.
23:36Daniel could see the good in just about anybody.
23:38Well, one day, I caught the kid with drugs here at the center.
23:42So what happened?
23:43Did you kick him out?
23:44Nope.
23:45Daniel made it his personal mission to make sure he got through to Samson.
23:49So with Daniel's help, he turned things around?
23:51Oh, yeah.
23:52180 degrees.
23:53Before long, Samson was mentoring other kids here at the center.
23:58Daniel saved that kid's life.
24:00Do you know where he is now?
24:01No idea.
24:03He came by here looking for Daniel the day after he got killed.
24:08I had to deliver the news to him.
24:12Sure, that was difficult.
24:13Yeah.
24:14How did he take it?
24:15Like every other kid I had to tell.
24:18Devastated.
24:21He'd become a fixture around here.
24:23A real dedicated mentor.
24:27So a couple of days later, I wondered where he went.
24:31Did you reach out to him?
24:32Well, I ended up talking to his mother.
24:34And she said Samson was so broken up about Daniel's death that he didn't want to come back here.
24:43I thought that was kind of odd.
24:45So I called again the next day.
24:47And that's when she said he was gone.
24:49Do you know where he went?
24:51Well, his mother said that she sent him out of town and lived with his aunt.
24:55And then she told me never to call again.
24:57I remember her being very terse about it.
25:00Did that strike you as suspicious at the time?
25:02Yes, I know.
25:05Daniel was a flame.
25:06It burned bright for a whole lot of people.
25:09With that extinguished, even I wanted to run away.
25:14Oh, trust me, I did too.
25:17I did.
25:18In a lot of ways.
25:20You don't think he had anything to do with Daniel's death, do you?
25:23I don't know.
25:24I hope not.
25:26There's one more thing.
25:27Do you remember a kid named Tyson?
25:30Yes.
25:31Did Tyson and Samson know each other?
25:33No.
25:33Tyson's older.
25:35They never would have crossed paths.
25:37All right.
25:39Well, I appreciate you taking the time to talk to me.
25:41And I know you didn't have to.
25:43Anything for Daniel.
25:45You're welcome.
25:47Detective.
25:50Yeah.
25:52I once asked Daniel why he stuck it out with the difficult cases.
25:58He said because life wasn't easy, but anything could be accomplished with a little tough love and a lot of
26:06hard work.
26:06That sounds like Daniel.
26:08He said he learned that from you.
26:20I still can't find anything on Samson Ramos.
26:24It's like he just disappeared.
26:26Okay, this is what we know.
26:27Daniel was killed right here in the alley behind Mill Street.
26:29And his body was moved to the jogging path across town to make it look like a muggy near his
26:33house.
26:34Okay, so Tyson lied about seeing Daniel twice.
26:36Second time after talking to Ellis, he went straight to the Granville.
26:40Where he was let in by Elena Ramos, owner and operator.
26:43Whose son Samson was mentored by Daniel and disappeared days after Daniel's murder.
26:49We're good at this.
26:50Yeah, we should start our own police department.
26:51There's no money in it.
26:52I could just talk to Samson.
26:54He could tell us what happened.
26:55Well, I just found him.
26:57What?
26:58How?
26:58I wasn't getting anywhere, using the name Samson Ramos.
27:02But of course, he's not going to use his real name if he's in hiding.
27:05So, I tried his mother's maiden name, and voila.
27:10He's in his first year at college, out east.
27:12If someone moves away and changes their name, they don't want to be found.
27:15But why wouldn't Samson want to be found?
27:17What does he know?
27:18What did he see?
27:18Well, his mom sent him away right after Daniel's murder, so that couldn't have been a coincidence.
27:22No.
27:22Maybe he's guilty of something.
27:24Or he saw something and he's scared.
27:26I need to talk to him.
27:27Now that I know who he is, I can get you his number, pronto.
27:31No.
27:31It's gotta be face to face.
27:32If I call him, he'll just hang up on me.
27:34The woman at the center was very clear.
27:36Him and Daniel were really close.
27:37Okay, Ricky will get you a flight and we'll figure out what's really going on inside that club.
27:41I'm gonna need a new outfit.
27:42On it.
27:43No.
27:43Hey, you may be a good detective.
27:46But wardrobe.
27:47That's my department.
27:49Yeah.
27:49You guys have done enough already and I appreciate it.
27:51Okay, but Daniel was my brother.
27:54I'm willing to take this risk, but I can't ask you guys to do the same.
27:59When's he gonna get it?
28:00I don't know.
28:01Look, Daniel was your family, but you're our family now.
28:05Roger die, amigo.
28:06Can't shake us now, babe.
28:08We're in this land.
28:12I don't know what to say.
28:13Say you'll pay for her new outfit, because I can guarantee you it will not be cheap.
28:17Oh, yeah.
28:17It definitely won't.
28:18Mm-mm.
28:19No.
28:21All right, what are you thinking?
28:23How are you gonna infiltrate the club?
28:24The less you know, the better.
28:26I'm serious.
28:27Max, what's going on?
28:28Shh.
28:29Shh.
28:29It's not a plan.
28:30Shh.
28:30Shh.
28:33Don't worry.
28:35I got a plan.
28:43Hello, this is Carmen.
28:44Carmen, this is Duke Calloway.
28:47I'm a talent scout from down near Jackson.
28:50I had the pleasure of being introduced to your musical stylings by a friend who gave me your demo.
28:55Oh, my.
28:56And which friend might that be?
28:58A good one.
28:59Now, let me tell you, when I listened to your demo, I was shocked.
29:02Shocked, I'll tell you.
29:04Why?
29:05I could not believe the velvety, luscious, smooth voice I was listening to came from someone singing down in that
29:13dusty old Granville.
29:14Why, thank you.
29:15Music is my life, but it sure doesn't pay the bills.
29:19Oh, sounds like you're in need of an opportunity.
29:21And if you listen, I believe you'll hear one knocking right about now.
29:26Okay.
29:26I shared your demo with a colleague of mine who works in the cruise ship business.
29:31And she's prepared to offer you a one-year contract to perform in one of her Caribbean festival cruise ships.
29:38Um, let me guess, you're going to ask me for a cut.
29:41No, not at all.
29:43I'll have my friend send your agent, I believe her name is Anna Silvers, the paperwork.
29:48And I get a cut of their cut.
29:49You spoke to my agent.
29:50Now the cruise leaves tomorrow from Miami, which means you'll need to be on a flight tonight.
29:55Tonight?
29:56I have a show.
29:57I can't just leave.
29:58Oh, that's a tough call.
30:00I understand.
30:01But let me tell you this.
30:02I believe there are moments in life that define a person.
30:08Forks in the road that change the course of our lives.
30:11And Carmen, this is one of those moments.
30:14Turn around.
30:16Mr. Carmen, shall I take you home to pack?
30:31Damn.
30:32What's up, Elena?
30:34The headliner just canceled, and we have a full house tonight.
30:37And a jam doll?
30:40Selena Lafleur.
30:41A little birdie told me you're behind the eight ball, and here I am, a canary without a cage.
30:47I have no idea what you just said, but I do need a singer.
30:51Now, where can I change?
31:06I don't care if Monday's blue, Tuesday's gray and Wednesday too.
31:14Thursday, I don't care about you.
31:18It's Friday, I'm in love.
31:23One day you can fall apart.
31:28Tuesday, Wednesday, break my heart.
31:32Thursday doesn't even start.
31:36It's Friday, I'm in love.
31:39Saturday you wait.
31:44And Sunday always comes too late.
31:49But Friday, never hesitate.
31:53I don't care if Monday's black.
31:57Tuesday, Wednesday, heart attack.
32:02Tuesday, Wednesday, heart attack.
32:04Tuesday, never looking back.
32:06It's Friday, I'm in love.
32:25I don't care about you.
32:28I don't care if Monday's blue.
32:31Tuesday's gray and Wednesday too.
32:36Thursday, I don't care about you.
32:40It's Friday, I'm in love.
32:55Shall I say it or do you want to have the pleasure?
33:00Selena Lafleur, you're hired.
33:13I worked on my set list.
33:16You want to take a look?
33:20No, Sinatra.
33:21Makes Carmine Lagoza emotional.
33:23Brings down the whole bar.
33:25Well, how will I know who Carmine is?
33:26He's a big guy, really bad ties.
33:29You can't miss him.
33:31Elena, Locke's here.
33:32He just parked outside.
33:35Damn it.
33:36Who's Locke?
33:37None of your business.
33:51Elena.
33:52I'm guessing that's Locke.
33:55Stay away from him.
33:59Okay.
34:00So, who's he?
34:02Word of advice, the key to working here is you don't see nothing, you don't hear nothing.
34:25Hey, who is that guy?
34:27It's Roman Locke.
34:28He's one of the biggest crime bosses in the city.
34:30No arrests.
34:31I saw Elena hand him an envelope full of cash.
34:34My guess, it's protection money.
34:35Sounds right.
34:37He's doing some digging and this is one bad dude.
34:39Drugs, extortion, gambling, and he doesn't play nice with people who cross him.
34:44Murder?
34:45That's definitely in his bag of tricks.
34:47Wait, how are you looking all this up right now?
34:49Aren't you driving?
34:51He's not the one behind the wheel.
34:53Dad, you just got out of prison.
34:54You don't even have a license.
34:56Actually, I have nine.
34:57How's the gig going, sweetie?
34:59Well, I'm singing for likely murderers, but wasn't that great?
35:02My set list is coming along nicely.
35:04Yeah, well, the other singers definitely living her best cruise ship life.
35:08She sent me a selfie from the buffet.
35:10Wait, that job was real?
35:12Of course it was.
35:13I am deeply connected in the cruise ship world.
35:15Besides, what do we always say?
35:17The best cons are the ones where everybody wins.
35:21I know.
35:22Where are you guys going?
35:24Check out Tyson's place.
35:25We know he's lying to us.
35:27With Ellis away and you at the club, we wanted to make sure this trail didn't go cold.
35:31Yeah, maybe something will show up that'll give us an idea of how Tyson's connected.
35:35Wait, does Ellis know about this?
35:36Not strictly.
35:37No, but he should know.
35:38When you want paperwork done, you call your boring cop friends.
35:42When you want some breaking and entering done, you call us.
35:45Well, I can't argue with that logic.
35:46Just be careful, okay?
36:11Hey.
36:11Hi.
36:12Samson?
36:13Yeah?
36:14Cole Ellis.
36:15Daniel's brother?
36:16Yeah.
36:17Hey, he talked about you all the time.
36:19The hero's brother who puts bad guys away.
36:22Yeah, well, I'm here because there's some more bad guys that need to be put away.
36:26Specifically, the ones that killed Daniel.
36:28What does that have to do with me?
36:29I think you know something about his case, and you're afraid to talk.
36:32I'm sorry you came all this way, man.
36:34I don't know what you're talking about.
36:35Look, Samson, he was my brother, okay?
36:38Just hear me out, please.
36:40Look, you think I don't know how crazy it is to come all this way, asking someone for help who
36:44I don't even know?
36:44Because I do.
36:46Okay?
36:47But that's what I'm doing.
36:48Daniel spent his whole life helping people that everybody else gave up on.
36:52People like you, Samson.
36:54And I'm just...
36:55I'm just asking those people not to give up on him.
37:00Look, I already told you.
37:02I don't know anything.
37:04I want someone else to help you, please.
37:06Samson, just wait, okay?
37:07Enough, man!
37:08Leave me alone.
37:09Just take this, okay?
37:11I know you got more to say, and I know you're scared, but if you change your mind, call me.
37:26Let me guess, Carmine?
37:28I'll lay off the Sinatra.
37:40Hey, what a great surprise, but shouldn't you be studying?
37:45Hey, hey, whoa, whoa, whoa, slow down.
37:47Are you okay?
37:49Samson, you have nothing to worry about.
37:53They're just tying up loose ends.
37:54They already caught the guy who did it.
37:57What do we say?
37:58You didn't see anything?
38:00You don't know anything.
38:03You weren't there.
38:05Exactly.
38:06I know.
38:07Okay.
38:09I love you too, buttercup.
38:11I'm gonna call you later, okay?
38:14Okay.
38:19You okay?
38:22I pay you to sing.
38:24Not to be nosy.
38:25Look, I don't mean to pry.
38:27I can just tell when people are upset.
38:29And a boss bitch like you, I'm sure people forget to ask you how you're doing.
38:36I'm fine.
38:37It's, um, it's just my kid.
38:41Oh.
38:41I didn't know you were a mom.
38:44What's their name?
38:47His name is Samson.
38:49Stay on any pictures.
39:04He has kind eyes.
39:07Just like you.
39:10So what's wrong?
39:13I, uh, I sent him to go and live with his aunt a few years ago to stay out of
39:19trouble at home.
39:20But then something just happened over there.
39:24It's just really hard to have your baby so far away.
39:26And you can't get him to come back?
39:28It's not that simple.
39:30Well, it sounds like you're doing what's best for him.
39:33That's what a good mom does.
39:35But I know it's easier said than done when you're that far apart.
39:40I lost my mom when I was a teenager.
39:44And there's nothing I wouldn't give to have one more hour with her.
39:48I'm sorry for your loss.
39:50Yeah.
39:51You just learn to live with it, you know?
39:56It's not like you can change it.
40:00Elena!
40:03Duty calls.
40:07Yeah.
40:33Okay, what's up?
40:34Still on duty.
40:48I'm ready to talk.
40:55I wanted to tell the truth about what had happened.
40:59I really did.
41:00My mom said no.
41:01She said it was too dangerous.
41:03Samson, I'm gonna protect you and your mom, okay?
41:06No matter what it takes, I promise.
41:08You'll be safe.
41:10Now tell me what you wanted to say.
41:16I'm the reason your brother is dead.
41:26I'm the reason your brother is dead.
41:27Still got it.
41:28Come on.
41:29Come on.
41:30Let's get going.
41:30It's no telling when Tyson might be returning home.
41:36For a low-level criminal, Tyson's living pretty large.
41:39Oh, he's been couch surfing.
41:40This is his friend's place.
41:41Look for anything that might give us an idea why Tyson lied about being with Daniel the night of his
41:46murder.
41:49Oh, God.
41:50What is it?
41:51Judging by the contents of this fridge, the guy's a vegan.
41:53Leave this fridge alone.
41:55After two years of prison food, I can't help myself.
41:58But you could lock me up for the rest of my life and I still wouldn't eat tofu balls and
42:02cashew cream.
42:03George!
42:04Focus!
42:26Right now, a party.
42:29Hey!
42:31What are you doing here?
42:40Just finished talking with the kid.
42:42He's terrified, but he's telling the truth.
42:44What'd he say?
42:45Samson was there.
42:46He heard everything.
42:47Roman Locke sent a hit on Daniel.
42:49He's the reason my brother's dead.
42:50Now we need to find him.
42:52Well, not a problem.
42:53I'm looking at him right now.
42:55What?
42:55Max, stay away from him.
42:56He's dangerous.
42:57Samson just agreed to testify and I'm bringing him home.
43:00We're gonna end this, now.
43:02Okay, just get home fast, Ellis.
43:04All right.
43:07You're a damn cop and you're gonna die.
43:15Stay tuned.
43:16Bye.
43:16Bye.
43:22Bye.
43:28Bye.
43:31Bye.
43:32Bye.
43:32Bye,аются.
43:38Bye.
