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.
03:41Alleluia!
03:41Fresh air, sunshine, Davis my man this is a two clam day.
03:46I don't get it.
03:47Well you know happy is a clam?
03:49This is definitely a two clam.
03:53What's wrong?
03:54I'm really gonna miss you man.
03:57Don't worry, you can keep the remainder of my charcuterie of the morning.
04:00deliveries. I guess we both have good reasons to celebrate today. I asked my
04:07girl to marry me. Really? Oh congratulations. You're a good man Davis.
04:12You're gonna make a great husband. I couldn't have done it without your help
04:15or advice. You're just really good at this relationship stuff. People are my
04:19business. Listen if there's any way I can ever repay you. You'll be the first to know.
04:32Sweet, sweet freedom. Hey. We did it. You did it. Both of you did it. This is only the beginning
04:43guys.
04:43What's going on with our other project? One last piece to fall into place. And then we'll be sitting
04:47pretty. When can I see it? Patience young grasshopper. You wouldn't rush Picasso would you? No I'd just
04:53forge him. I mean any five-year-old with a sharpie could do what you did. Dad you just got
04:57out of
04:57prison. You know what? You're right. Let's get out of here. I never want to see this godforsaken
05:02place again.
05:13Okay. I'm almost done and then you can have a little catnip. Not too much. I've been overdoing
05:22lately. All right. Should we give it a try? Take that as a yes.
05:48We did it. I can't believe it. We did it. We did it. I can't believe it. We did it.
05:57Amen. Daniel will love this.
06:07Hey chief. What's going on? You sitting down? I got news.
06:12Sounds like bad news.
06:13On the contrary. I've just been informed the federal authorities have called your brother's
06:32killer. And voila, home sweet home. Wow, swanky. Yeah, lots of period details, original flooring,
06:43and gobs of natural light. As long as there's no bars on the windows, I'm happy. You guys look pretty
06:52settled in here. I thought this place was just temporary until I got out. Yeah, for sure. There's nothing here
06:57we can't leave behind in a flash. No attachments. Material, emotional, or otherwise. Hey, Max? Yes, absolutely. It's Alice. What's
07:07new from Tall, Dark, and Surly? I'm so sorry, guys. Um, I gotta get to the station. Now? I thought
07:13you were all done with that.
07:13Cop stuff. I'm out. You're off the hook. Yeah, I just got a few loose ends to tie up, okay?
07:19It won't be long. I just got out. You're leaving already? Stop pouting. Ricky's gonna make you lunch, and then
07:25I'll be right back. Okay? Loose ends my ass. Something's up. Ah, don't mind her. Okay, are you hungry? Am
07:37I hungry? Does Rick Springfield wish he had Jessie's girl? Can Jack Nicholson handle the truth? Does Kim Kardashian have
07:43a juice?
07:43Okay, okay. Let me get you something. In the meantime...
07:52What's this? There's some videos you're gonna want to see. Come on, Ricky. I'm not that lonely.
07:56Not those kind of videos. Sit. Watch.
08:06George, take your time with these. It's a lot to take in.
08:19Well, hello, old friend. Well, 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?
09:04You 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 the call, I do the job.
09:13What did you mean when you said Daniel Ellis was 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.
09:20But the kid must have seen something he shouldn't have.
09:23I didn't get any more details because 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.
09:35I 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 and we need to find out who and why.
09:51That's true.
09:52We need to press him harder.
09:53He's signing a full confession right now.
09:55He's accepted the maximum sentence.
09:56The 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 have spent an enormous amount of time, money, and manpower to find this
10:08person.
10:08What'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, he could give us everything.
10:17With a full confession, we 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 a slam dunk conviction on a murderer.
10:30So now after two years of tracking down every lead, turning over every stone, obsessing over every detail,
10:37when we are literally this close to getting the whole truth, you want me to just stop?
10:42You?
10:44Yes.
10:46Any further attempt on your part to force the issue could be construed as a conflict of interest and may
10:50actually jeopardize the conviction.
10:52Is that what you want?
10:54Ellis, we are family in this department.
10:57I give you my word.
11:00I will keep this case open and alive until every last person involved is caught.
11:06You and Max have done an amazing job the last few months.
11:09And of course, we'd like all our cases to be wrapped up with a neat little bow, but you know,
11:15things 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 that 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.
11:41It's a lot to process.
11:43Right now, your job is to take care of yourself.
11:50Wait.
11:55Wow.
11:57You know what?
11:58I'm going to 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, and 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, and all UNLs have accomplished.
12:29To be honest, your success rate has also helped my campaign for mayor.
12:33The election's still a couple days away, but 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.
12:49Ah.
12:49You'll have to excuse me.
12:51I'm, um...
12:52cooking risotto on the morning TV show.
12:55That's politics for you.
12:57Cheer up, Max.
12:58As my campaign says, there 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, so you gave me extra packets of that day-glow orange
13:27sauce that 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?
13:37I'm happy we caught this shooter, that I have some...
13:40overwhelming sense of closure, because I don't.
13:42I want you to tell me the truth.
13:46The truth is, for the first time in my career, I 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, they 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, so 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, or 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, and I grew up in a small town, and we always had next to nothing.
14:36And when my dad came back from Vietnam, he tried his best to hold it together.
14:40But then we lost mom to cancer, and then we lost the house.
14:43And after that, well, I guess he just couldn't do it anymore.
14:48So one morning, I woke up alone in our cheap motel room, and this bag was next to my bed
14:53with all my clothes and comic books, deck of cards, and this note pinned to a $10 bill.
15:00Well, I am so proud of you and 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, and I didn't blame him.
15:16Hell, he knew I knew what to do.
15:18And it turned out this bag was the best thing he could have ever left me.
15:22You don't believe you can fit your whole life into 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 matters more than your own freedom.
15:35Then, you know, over the years, I always wondered if we'd ever run into each other again.
15:40And for all I know, maybe we did somewhere.
15:44We just didn't recognize each other.
15:48Go figure.
15:56So glad you're back.
15:59Hey, Dad.
16:01It's good to see you, too.
16:03Everything okay?
16:04I just want to let you know I'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.
16:15Alice.
16:16George.
16:17Congrats on the early release.
16:19Couldn't have done it without the two of you, so 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, I'll never set foot on those concrete floors or lay eyes on that barbed wire ever
16:38again.
16:39The least I could do is try to make it up to you, too.
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.
16:57Alice had almost as much to do with my early release as Max did.
17:00And now he's the one that needs help, and you know the rule.
17:02Yeah, I'll always lend a hand to those who need it.
17:05There's our guy.
17:07Hey, Davis.
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, anything.
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 want to know how we got that name.
17:35Now we're going to ask you a few questions.
17:37You make it easy, you can go back to your cozy six-inch spring mattress.
17:41You make it hard, you can take a dive off that roof.
17:44You understand?
17:45And who the hell are you?
17:46Long answer.
17:49Come on, get it.
17:50Come on.
17:51And look, we're just looking for some friendly information.
17:54You killed a man with connections, so we're going to need some answers about the death of
17:58Danielella.
17:58I'm not telling you a damn thing.
18:00So be it.
18:01Oh, hey!
18:02Come on!
18:04Oh!
18:05Oh, hey!
18:07Oh, God!
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, please, man.
18:14I'll tell you whenever you want.
18:16Don't kill me.
18:16All right, then, spill it.
18:17They made me wait for him, uh, in the alley.
18:20Oh, between 12th and Mound Street at 9.
18:22Oh, hey, kill him!
18:23Kill him when he arrived!
18:24And then drop the body across town in the park off at Tard.
18:27Okay, they wanted me to make it look like a muggin'.
18:29Why?
18:30I don't know.
18:31Okay, I'll just follow an order.
18:32Who gave the order?
18:33I had a guy who used to throw jobs my way, all right?
18:36Reggie Babs.
18:39What?
18:40Reggie was an inmate here.
18:41Got the shib six months ago.
18:43That's all I know!
18:44Hey, okay!
18:44I swear, I swear!
18:45Please don't throw me over!
18:51No, no, no, no!
18:52Hey!
18:53Oh, God, please, no!
19:00Get gone, warm breath.
19:01Thanks, Davis.
19:02Are you kidding?
19:03This was fun.
19:04Felt like it was on the wire.
19:06Oh, you're fine.
19:10You sure that's all that Zippo knew?
19:12Trust me, if he knew anything else, he would have 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.
19:26Yeah, perfect place to kill somebody.
19:27All right, so we have some new information.
19:29What now?
19:30Now we talk to Tyson.
19:31Who's Tyson?
19:33He's a kid Daniel used to work with.
19:35He'd be in his 20s by now.
19:36He aged out of the system and fell back in with a rough crowd,
19:38so Daniel started playing basketball with him 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,
19:47but 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've got to 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 going to 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,
20:16and 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,
20:35and 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.
21:00Did you get anything else out of him?
21:01No, but I didn't expect to.
21:03Then why bother talking to him?
21:06So we can follow him.
21:29He was so nervous when I was interviewing him,
21:31I 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?
21:53Well, nothing 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.
22:38Daniel's brother.
22:39The detective.
22:40I remember you.
22:42We met at, um, Daniel's funeral.
22:45I'm sorry.
22:46That day's, uh, a blur for me.
22:47Of course.
22:48Um, what 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, uh, 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, uh, 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.
24:02Yeah.
24:03He came by here looking for Daniel the day after he got killed.
24:08I had to deliver the news to him.
24:12I'm sure 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, um, 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.
25:02I know.
25:05Daniel was aflame.
25:06It burned bright for a whole lot of people.
25:09So, with 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.
26:23It'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 mugging 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.
27:08And voila.
27:10He's in his first year at college, out east.
27:12Someone moves away and changes their name.
27:14They 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?
27:19Well, his mom sent him away right after Daniel's murder.
27:21So, 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.
27:30Pronto.
27:30No.
27:31It's got to 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 going to need a new outfit.
27:42On it.
27:43No.
27:43Hey, you may be a good detective.
27:46Wardrobe.
27:48That'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 going to get it?
28:00I don't know.
28:01Look, Daniel was your family.
28:03But 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, definitely won't.
28:18Mm-mm.
28:19No.
28:21All right, what are you thinking?
28:23How are you going to infiltrate the club?
28:24The less you know, the better.
28:26I'm serious.
28:27Max, what's going on?
28:28Shh, shh, it's not a plan.
28:30Shh, shh, shh.
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?
29:04I 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, and she's prepared to
29:32offer you a one-year contract to perform in one of her Caribbean festival cruise ships.
29:39Now, 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, and I get a
29:48cut of their cut.
29:49You spoke to my agent.
29:51Now, the cruise leaves tomorrow from Miami, which means you'll need to be on a flight tonight.
29:55Tonight, I have a show. I can't just leave.
29:58Oh, that's a tough call. I 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, Alina?
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.
30:45Canary without a cage.
30:47I have no idea what you just said, but I do need a singer.
30:52Now, where can I change?
31:06I don't care if Monday's blue, Tuesday's gray and Wednesday too, Thursday.
31:16I don't care about you, it'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, and Sunday always comes too late, but Friday never hesitate.
31:54I don't care if Monday's black, Tuesday, Wednesday heart attack, Thursday never looking back.
32:06I don't care if Monday's blue, Tuesday's gray and Wednesday too.
32:36Thursday, I don't care about you, Thursday I don't care about you, it's Friday, I'm in love.
32:56Shall I say it, or do you want to have the pleasure?
33:00Selena LaFleur, you're hired.
33:14I worked on my set list, you want to take a look?
33:20No Sinatra, makes Carmine Lagoza emotional, brings down the whole bar.
33:25Well, how will I know who Carmine is?
33:26He's a big guy, really bad ties, you can't miss him.
33:30Hey, Elena, uh, Locke's here, he just parked outside.
33:35Damn it, who's Locke?
33:37None of your business.
33:51Lana!
33:52I'm guessing that's Locke?
33:54Stay 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, he's one of the biggest crime bosses in the city, no arrests.
34:31I saw Elena hand him an envelope full of cash, and I guess it's protection money.
34:36Sounds 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!
34:53You just got out of prison, you 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 it's great?
35:02My set list is coming along nicely.
35:04Yeah, well, the other singers definitely live in 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?
35:24To check 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 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?
35:59He's an idiot.
36:08You're going out, we're down.
36:10You're going out.
36:10You're going out.
36:11You're going out.
36:11Hi.
36:12Samson?
36:13Yeah?
36:13Cole Ellis.
36:15Daniel's brother?
36:16Yeah.
36:17Yeah, he talked about you all the time.
36:19The hero brother who puts bad guys a lot.
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 got 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. I 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,
36:43asking someone for help who I don't even know?
36:45Because I do.
36:46Okay, but that's what I'm doing.
36:47You know what? Daniel spent his whole life helping people that everybody else gave up on.
36:52People like you, Samson.
36:54And I'm just...
36:56I'm just asking those people not to give up on him.
37:00Look, I already told you.
37:02I don't know anything.
37:03I want someone else to help you, please.
37:06Samson, just wait, okay?
37:07Enough, man! Leave me alone.
37:09Just take this, okay?
37:11I know you got more to say, and I know you're scared,
37:13but if you change your mind, call me.
37:26Let me guess.
37:27Carmine?
37:29I'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.
37:55That's it.
37:55They already caught the guy who did it.
37:57What did we say?
37:58You didn't see anything?
38:00You don't know anything.
38:02You weren't there.
38:05Exactly.
38:06I know.
38:07Okay.
38:08I 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.
38:40Oh, I didn't know you were a mom.
38:44What's their name?
38:47His name is Samson.
38:49Stay on any pictures.
38:52Yes.
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.
39:27And 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.
40:01Elena!
40:03Duty calls.
40:06Yeah.
40:08Yeah.
40:17Jennifer's up.
40:17Yeah.
40:17Yeah.
40:17Yeah.
40:17Yeah.
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. She said it was too dangerous.
41:03Samson, I'm gonna protect you and your mom, okay?
41:06No matter what it takes, I promise, you'll be safe.
41:10Now tell me what you wanted to say.
41:16I'm the reason your brother is dead.
41:26Still got it.
41:28Come on. Let's get going.
41:31It'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. This is his friend's place.
41:42Look 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 the 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, focus!
42:14Why?
42:14This is really tragic.
42:27What?
42:27Now we're partie.
42:30Hey!
