HOT DRAMA 2026
Transcript
00:01Happy day, you gotta work, push the heart on the way.
00:07Took no more time, gonna shine, ain't no shade.
00:11It's time to see you on the green.
00:13Mickey, dig the new haircuts.
00:17Petrovitz, have you been here in the gym?
00:19You're looking buff.
00:20Carver, how's the bunions feeling?
00:25Whoa, miss, where do you think you're going?
00:27Oh, hold on.
00:30That's a toy.
00:32Excuse 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, just moved him back, but lately she's a little bit-
00:51Oh, come on!
00:52Scary.
00:53Morning.
00:54Yates?
00:55Is it morning?
00:56I can't even tell anymore.
00:57I just left Simmons at another crime scene to come to this one.
00:59That's our 10th open case.
01:01This one's our 11th.
01:02Look, I know we've been understaffed since Ellis left, but maybe today things will turn
01:06around.
01:06Are you telling me to turn that frown upside down?
01:08In a matter of speaking?
01:09That's good advice.
01:10Do you want to hear some advice?
01:11Here we go.
01:12People!
01:12I'm officially declaring this no murder month.
01:15Okay?
01:15From this day forth, should a citizen of our city murder another, so help me goddess,
01:20I will kill you myself.
01:25What do we got?
01:26Murder.
01:27Murder.
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.
01:53We found a 32 caliber bullet.
01:54Went right through him.
01:55Okay, so no leads, nothing to go on?
01:57Not at the moment.
01:58Great.
01:58Another winner.
01:59Call me when you have something.
02:01We got something.
02:02See that blue line right there on his shirt?
02:04It's chalk.
02:06You're saying he's a school teacher?
02:07No.
02:08Look at his fingers.
02:10I noticed those, but I don't know what they're from yet.
02:13It's from playing pool.
02:14Moving the cue back and forth on the skin.
02:15You gotta play four to six hours a day to develop calluses like that.
02:19Trust me, I used to play a lot of pool growing up.
02:21Canvas every pool hall in a five-mile radius.
02:23I guarantee you someone's gonna recognize him.
02:25Hop to it, 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, case number 10, closed.
02:54Oh, great.
02:55Because we just picked up another one.
02:57You'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.
03:37Yeah, 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.
03:44Right.
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 and mean.
04:17Get out of my office.
04:19Gone like the wind.
04:20Mackie, come on.
04:28Hey, I know that...
04:29Look, can I just say something first, please?
04:33Sure.
04:34Look, I am sorry I sprung that whole...
04:38come 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...
04:52I 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 doc, okay?
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, upward, moving on up.
05:22Okay, great.
05:24It'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 asking to play hacky sack, we'll
05:59be 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, he needs 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 rear-view 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...
07:33Same old, same old.
07:37Chief 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.
07:47He owns the Third Street Billiards Room.
07:48Yeah, that's him. Tommy 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?
08:12Last 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.
08:22You 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.
08:39What was Tommy doing for a living?
08:41I don't know.
08:42I mean, this and that.
08:44You know, odd jobs.
08:46Tommy was a pool hustler.
08:48How do you know that?
08:49Well, he won every professional tournament he was in,
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.
09:09and 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.
09:25That's when I wish you good luck with that new guy.
09:26Because Simmons and I are not taking on another case.
09:30Vomino, 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, who do you got to know around here
10:17to get in on one of the pool tables?
10:19It'll be a while.
10:21Why, 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 the good ones that...
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.
11:01Maybe...
11:02Maybe the only guy who could have beaten me in my prime.
11:07To Tommy.
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 sense an easy mark,
11:33their lips will start laughing.
11:35Talk to that lady at the bar.
11:36She seems like a regular,
11:37and there's a little more she wants to say.
11:40Go get her, Tiger.
11:45Damn it, kid.
11:48It's not fair.
11:50I'm sorry, Tommy.
11:51I don't give anything to see you walk through that door again.
11:55Mom, where have you been for the past 15 years?
11:59Do you remember Monaco?
12:01Hard to forget.
12:02Last time I saw you.
12:03And that casino con I wanted to pull?
12:05The 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.
12:11I don't.
12:11You did it anyway.
12:13Must be something in the genes.
12:14Turns out you were right, dear.
12:16I got caught.
12:18So you've been in prison all these years?
12:21No.
12:22That would have been much easier.
12:24And safer.
12:25No, I have been on the run from Gideon Varga.
12:31No, 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.
12:49That he's a myth.
12:49That his real talent is to be invisible.
12:52That's how he stayed untouchable.
12:54Come on.
12:55These days, nobody's untouchable.
12:58Gideon Varga is.
13:01He's the devil himself.
13:06Hey.
13:07Hey.
13:09You said you were looking for a game?
13:10Rack him up, champ.
13:12When I was a little girl,
13:14Daddy would always bring my brothers to the local pool hall.
13:16When I asked to go, do you know what he would say?
13:18Girls can't play pool.
13:19Can you believe that?
13:20My God.
13:21That's terrible.
13:22So I gave up.
13:23But I never stopped dreaming of it.
13:25Then last month, 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 spankin' new double wide.
13:36But I kept the rest of Granny's millions for myself.
13:38So now that I'm retired, I'm gonna learn how to play some nine ball.
13:42And get a private massage therapist.
13:45And a personal chef.
13:46Oh.
13:47And a dog walker.
13:48Because rich folks don't need to be picking up anybody's doo-doo.
13:52Oh.
13:53Speaking 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've played for bigger bucks.
14:05Luckily.
14:06That's more where that came from.
14:08But first, I'm parched.
14:09Could I be the one you love?
14:13Well, I certainly sold my trailer trash to Rich's story.
14:17Okay.
14:17Did you learn anything interesting?
14:18Please.
14:19Does Netflix cancel every show I like?
14:21Is Outmelt still disgusting?
14:22Hey, Max.
14:23Just give me the rundown.
14:24Please.
14:25Okay.
14:26That is Kelly.
14:28Tommy Z's grief-stricken girlfriend.
14:30And from what everybody says, she gladly would've 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 that Tommy came along, though.
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.
15:22I think we just found your next game.
15:29Blow on it, Reggie honey, or 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 he got beat by him bad last night.
16:07We're gonna talk?
16:08We're gonna play.
16:10Rumor has it you lost 50 grand.
16:12Ouch.
16:12If 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.
16:27Got a game over here.
16:29We're not done playing.
16:29Actually, we're done.
16:42I passed out.
16:43Not the most original alibi.
16:46I know, but it should be easy enough to confirm.
16:52What the hell is that?
16:54Voodoo doll.
16:54Of who?
16:55Ellis.
16:56Why do you have a pencil voodoo doll of Ellis?
17:00To control him.
17:02Find me a licorice and a marshmallow.
17:03I need to make one of Max.
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 Ellis 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.
17:26What I think you need is a nice night's rest.
17:30For us to close a case and you'll feel bright as rain.
17:35Huh?
17:35No voodoo?
17:36No voodoo.
17:37I'm just gonna make him do the mockery now.
17:39Give me that.
17:40Come on.
17:41Fine.
17:44Hey, Yates.
17:46Yes?
17:49You 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 kind of 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?
18:26Keep it up.
18:26Yeah.
18:27Okay.
18:32Yo, Bert!
18:33Hi, Bert.
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!
18:41Hey!
18:41Hey!
18:41Hey!
18:42Hey!
18:42Hey!
18:43Hey!
18:43Robbie!
18:43Tommy!
18:45Look down.
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.
18:56What?
18:58I had no idea–
18:59You killed Tommy and Tom!
19:00Wow!
19:02Stop!
19:03Clear!
19:05Here.
19:06Take it.
19:07Try to do a nice thing, huh?
19:09Let me just get something from his pocket.

19:19tab is my business it's okay happy now paid in full i guess hell has frozen over
19:33well suddenly i'm not that thirsty anymore only of other establishments would appreciate
19:37a patron such as myself what's uh his deal bit of a loser i'm afraid can never catch a break
19:48he bet big for jose to win last night for a loser that's some wad of cash he was flashing
19:54around
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 take it easy bert we just want to know about the coat the coat i gave it
20:14back
20:14who the hell are you anyways the police in between tommy's coat and that wad of cash you were
20:19flashing around you just became our number one suspect for this murder
20:26since when is it a crime to borrow a coat when that coat is full of cash and belongs to
20:29a murdered man
20:30i told everyone who's jose was sleeping it off he was using tommy's coat as a blanket i didn't want
20:35him to puke all over it oh you're a prince however tommy left monty's pool hall with 50 grand in
20:41his
20:41pocket and took a bullet in the chest when they found the body the money was gone and today you
20:45show up a newly rich man i can explain yeah so can i you got pissed off at tommy you
20:51followed him
20:52outside the bar and you shot him and then you stole his 50k no i didn't kill tommy i swear
20:56bert you made a big bet last night and you lost just admit it that bet i placed on jose
21:01it wasn't my money really it was salvatore's money he paid bert to place the bet on jose to win
21:09why would salvatore bet against his own player because the game was fixed tommy was supposed
21:13to throw the match salvatore knew if he was seen betting against one of his own players
21:16everyone would know it was fixed so he had bert place the bet for him what he didn't know
21:21is that tommy placed a bet and he didn't throw the match he won 50 grand so tommy screwed over
21:27salvatore then the kid ends up shot and robbed i don't need to connect the dots do i we did
21:32a
21:32little digging into salvatore turns out he was a pretty great pool player himself back in the day
21:36hustled himself across the map yeah and got the priors to prove it portland winnipeg rochester
21:43an awful wagering theft recurring assault charges not a guy you want to mess with got anything solid on
21:51him on this case not yet but if we can find out why he betrayed him then it should give
21:55us a clearer
21:55picture what happened that night work fast before this guy hits the road again i'm gonna need a
22:01minute to process birth release okay i'll be right back okay hey baby girl i'm trying to reach you
22:11ricky's back from zurich in the morning so we got to make a decision now are we in or out
22:17gideon varga is not the sort of man who forgives and forgets but if you've never seen varga who caught
22:23you tomo hayashi varga's right hand while i was waiting for them to decide how to dispose of me
22:31i managed to slip away and steal a car from a valet stand you staged the car accident i had
22:39to
22:39improvise tomo was right on my tail so i leapt from the car before sending it over the cliff
22:44and into the sea rather operatic i know but i i really had to sell it and the money you
22:50stole
22:51unfortunately it went down with the car but varga didn't believe you were really dead not without
22:56a body i hoped he'd think i'd been swept out to sea but every time i felt safe i'd hear
23:01a report that
23:02varga was still looking for me like i said the guy really knows how to hold a grudge but the
23:06only
23:07saving grace was that he thought that i was working alone he didn't know my identity nor did he know
23:13about you or your father that's the secret that kept you both safe
23:20so why did you come back over the years i found moments to watch the two of you from afar
23:27because
23:27i knew the risks of getting too close but i just missed you both so terribly then you landed in
23:35prison
23:36and it was impossible to keep eyes on you and i just felt like i'd been cut off from my
23:42heartbeat
23:49when i heard you were being released i just
23:54i had to be there
24:01what i didn't know was that varga had uncovered one of my aliases which tripped an alert at the border
24:08and tomohayashi caught up with me
24:16with an ultimatum from varga we pay every last cent i stole or or he'll kill you no
24:24if 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 so if you don't pay varga back
24:46we're all dead how much do you owe well it's it's not a small amount of money per se how
24:54much vivian a hundred million
25:00it's not exactly chump change call me there isn't much time left
25:06hey you all right yeah you ready to find out why tommy screwed over salvator baby i was born ready
25:15wow you got more game than a truck stop arcade you ever think about getting yourself a steak horse like
25:21salvatore no well i hear he and tommy had a pretty sweet deal going on so we can turn sour
25:26off
25:26real quick you're saying uh that their love boat started leaking i heard them arguing outside in the
25:32alley he's taking out the trash and the two of them are really going at it after the big game
25:36between
25:36tommy and jose so uh what were they fighting about i only caught bits and pieces so we can't be
25:42sure
25:44but lately i've heard a rumor i don't think it was about pool i think it was a bigger problem
25:49like what like girl problems you've heard two's company three's a crowd traveling around together
25:55two guys and one girl are you saying kelly cheated on tommy with salvatore sal's got money he's a
26:00charmer when daddy snuck in a side pocket shot when the real player wasn't looking
26:06double or nothing maybe later
26:12so you heard the rumors too certainly explains why tommy stuck it to him with his screw you and
26:18he was punishing salvatore for sleeping with his girlfriend nothing like a messy romance to foul up
26:23a good partnership speak of the devils love our specs i don't know let's find out shall we
26:35i know i know it hurts honey i was a wreck when my robber died but day after day you
26:44just figure
26:45out how to survive thanks myrna and jen helps make it two this time make it three i'm buying oh
26:54you're lucky you have such amazing people help you get through this kelly amen to that now
27:00if you'll excuse me mama's got a tinkle oh geez myrna careful why do you have a gun
27:09no no no that's not mine wait a minute hold on a second
27:16it's a 38 millimeter same caliber kind of killed
27:18time
27:21that's my gun kelly how the hell did you get my gun out of my safe i've never seen it
27:25before i
27:26didn't do this one of the rounds has been fired you need to call the cops no no no no
27:30no we don't
27:31call the cops this is your gun and it might have killed someone so unless you want to go down
27:34for
27:34that i'd pick up that phone and start dialing
27:36it might have killed one no no no no no no wait what are you you're cops yeah we are
27:55i'm a cop she's not
27:57i have a badge it's bedazzled thanks he's just jealous kelly the ballistics report just came back
28:03and your gun is a match for the murder weapon i told you it's not my gun somebody put it
28:08there
28:08did you kill tommy because you were having an affair with sal i would have never cheated on
28:12tommy somebody started that stupid rumor i was trying to get tommy to leave salvatore why tommy used
28:19to love the game just for the joy of it but when salvatore recruited him and the money started rolling
28:24in he changed money became all he cared about the last trip we did was the worst took this guy
28:30in
28:30winnipeg for everything he had the guy was clearly in over his head but salvatore kept saying that wasn't
28:35our problem what were you and sal arguing about salvatore always held on to the winnings and now
28:43he won't give me tommy's cut says tommy screwed him on the last game so he's owed well where were
28:48you when tommy walked out of the bar that night i stayed around till past three hoping tommy would
28:52cool off and come back but he never did now i know why
29:06so you believe her i do i think she loved tommy besides why keep the murder weapon in your purse
29:12maybe salvatore shot tommy and planted the gun on her or kelly actually did do it she was just
29:17waiting for the right time for the gun back in the safe do you really believe that you gotta remember
29:20this whole thing is centered around a rumor of an alleged affair so either it's true or the whole
29:25thing's a frame-up to make him look guilty but i would do that somebody who had access to the
29:29safe and
29:30somebody who hated tommy enough to kill him somebody who had access to the safe what are you thinking
29:40give me a sec bingo
29:53hey you wanna play a game me no i don't play anymore okay well i'm sure someone else will
30:00want to play for this 20k hey what the hell huh for old times sake
30:28i guess i still got it that's what everybody says hey tommy had his last game at this table
30:34didn't he i heard it was one hell of a game tooth and nail to the end right but nobody
30:40knew that the
30:40game was fixed it was not then why'd you have burt bet against tommy on your behalf because the game
30:47was fixed tommy was supposed to throw the match but he didn't what you fixed the game in my place
30:51it was salvatore's idea i just went along with it are you crazy sal what the hell are you thinking
30:56what is all this focus sal you got 20k on the line
31:05oh my turn okay so let's review here tommy was supposed to throw the game but didn't because of
31:13that it makes sense that people heard you arguing about the fact that he beat jose that wasn't the
31:18only thing you two were arguing about that night was it there was juicy goss going around that you
31:24were sleeping with kelly and tommy caught wind of it i never touched kelly i mean i know that but
31:30tommy didn't and he was pissed and that's why he decided to screw you over on the game
31:41who the hell are you somebody who likes to play games speaking of there was somebody else who was
31:46playing you and everyone else in this bar that affair rumor wasn't just gossip somebody started
31:51that for a reason you want to know who that was it was myrna the lady who's always at the
31:55bar
31:55i think her name's myrna
32:00what are you all looking at myrna told everyone that salvatore was sleeping with kelly what i didn't
32:06do anything you remember winnipeg yeah what about it there was a man there you took him for all that
32:12he was worth he was already way over his head in the game not to mention that his house was
32:19triple mortgaged he was humiliated that he was about to lose his house so he killed himself leaving
32:25behind his wife myrna she's crazy oh really so you're saying this isn't you when you found out who
32:34hustled your husband you wanted to get even so you followed the trio back to the pool hall and you
32:39set
32:39yourself up with some innocent barfly you kicked up the character for weeks noticing the trio's
32:43personalities their insecurities weaknesses making up rumors about them all to set them up and then
32:48there'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 you took the gun from monty's safe killed tommy with it and
33:04planted it on kelly nuts you can't prove anything actually we can because tommy's stolen cash was
33:10just recovered at your hotel room it's over myrna you can drop the act now
33:19that little punk ruined my life he deserved what he got myrna you're under arrest for murder now that

38:08ricky we need two pints of ice cream and a 90s rom-com stacked
38:15what's going on
38:19who are you this is tomo hayashi i'm pierre on behalf of mr varga i was just explaining to your
38:26family that there's been a misunderstanding you see mr varga demands payment in full before the
38:31deadline that doesn't cover it this money covers vivian's original debt of 98 million dollars but
38:37after 15 years with inflation and interest you're about 30 million short oh no that's news to me
38:46when's the deadline send exactly 20 minutes oh that's impossible it is which is why mr varga is
38:54offering another way to pay your remaining debt oh that is so sweet of him it's a task suited to
38:59your skills if you accomplish it he will consider you debt free no we've already done everything he's
39:06asked for all we know he'll keep pushing the goalposts either he'll take the cash or we'll
39:12disappear with it you can run but you'd be drastically underestimating varga's resources you'd
39:19leave leave the others unprotected what others you 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
