00:02R.J. freaking Decker
00:03They let you out already?
00:04I'm a P.I. now
00:05Detective DeGrayu, hello, how are you?
00:07How is everything at the trailer park?
00:09You making new friends?
00:10I'm on trial
00:12Good luck today
00:13Thanks
00:13Would you please state your name and relationship to the victim?
00:16I'm Emmy Ochoa, Lucas is my stepbrother
00:18And that's the man who almost killed him
00:20If I hadn't lied to protect Lucas
00:22There would have been consequences
00:23But it was still wrong
00:24And I'm sorry
00:26A sinkhole opened up outside your window three weeks ago
00:29And you didn't come to stay with us then?
00:30You wanted to see me
00:32You can stay here one week
00:33And then you go
00:35I was exonerated
00:36The very first thing I did was I bought a scratcher
00:39And that scratcher paid out a million bucks
00:41I'm not released this day instead of the next
00:43Who knows who comes of me?
01:16Dear friend, if you want to feel better
01:18Don't let the devil make you toss this letter
01:21If you've been crossed up by who do
01:23Don't you lose it or lose it
01:25You got family trouble
01:26Man trouble
01:27Woman trouble
01:28No night shows a problem
01:29You're looking for a true friend
01:31No a true lover
01:32Or if you've been living in the couple
01:34Well, I'm coming to your town
01:36To break it all down
01:37Go, go, go, go
01:38Stop the door
01:39I'm looking there
01:40So check on the left
01:41Contact me
01:42Don't move
01:43Into the air
01:55Hot damn
01:56That's a lot of weed
01:57In case you were wondering
01:59Which of your pals tipped us off
02:00It's an old lady
02:01Who wants her dog around here
02:02Kept reporting suspicious activity
02:05Like she was trying to win a radio contest
02:07Karens
02:08Am I right?
02:09It's not cannabis
02:10It's carnivorous
02:13Said it's not cannabis
02:14It's carnivorous
02:15They're not marijuana plants
02:16They're venous fly traps
02:26Hey, detective
02:27Over here
02:28Let's go
02:34Is that a meat grinder?
02:39You gotta see this
02:47Question for you, son
02:50Who exactly
02:51Have you been feeding
02:52To your plants?
03:01You're real bad at this, man
03:04Okay
03:04Seriously
03:05If breaking into cars
03:06With baseball
03:07You'd be the Rockies
03:08Well, maybe if I had
03:09A better teacher
03:09You got the best in full love
03:11Don't blame me for your old man, Finny
03:13Whoa
03:14I think you mean you were the best, right?
03:16Because you know what happens
03:17If I find out you're unretired?
03:18Sell my mom
03:19Yes
03:20Which is worse than telling the cops
03:22That's right
03:22Ain't happening
03:23I am D-O-N-E
03:25Done, son
03:28Stupid pick is broken or something
03:37Why did you do that?
03:39What are you doing in my car?
03:40Oh, hey, Kath
03:41This is Darius
03:42He's helping me out with this
03:43New skill I might need
03:45As a P.I.
03:47It's 9 a.m. on a Monday
03:48Is it?
03:48Shouldn't Darius be in school?
03:50No, ma'am
03:50Some dude living in the school
03:52Lost in his bowl
03:53Constructor
03:54We're all supposed to stay home
03:55Until Animal Control finds him
03:57I'm so fine
03:58Thanks
04:00Found the key to the file drawers
04:02Unless you'd like to pick that lock, too
04:14Okay
04:15This is great
04:16Now I have a place to, uh
04:18Put all my files
04:23I take it things are still a little slow?
04:26Yeah
04:26Yeah, they're a bit slow
04:27They're picking up
04:28Wish texted me last night
04:29Said he had a new client for me
04:31Oh, shoot
04:32Actually, I gotta meet the guy
04:33In 20 minutes
04:35Will he be older than 12?
04:40Hey
04:41Where's the client?
04:44Oh, God
04:45Wish
04:47I mean, we've been over this
04:48I, I, I
04:49I need work
04:50I don't need charity
04:51This is a genuine case, Arch
04:53Genuine case?
04:54Really?
04:55Like, like the case of the missing deep fryer?
04:56You remember that one?
04:57He told me he was stolen
04:58But that was bull
04:59It was just out for repairs
05:00Then there was the time
05:01You wanted a list of names
05:03Background checks
05:03So they could work here
05:04Only they turned out to be
05:05The starting O-line
05:06For the 84 Dolphins
05:07I swear, had any of those gentlemen
05:08Been interested
05:09I'd have hired them
05:10Wish
05:11I
05:15You remember me
05:16Telling you about
05:17Waylon Abernathy
05:19Yeah
05:20Yeah, of course
05:21He was your Sally
05:22The first time you got locked up
05:25Showed you the ropes
05:26Just like you did for me
05:28Prison being prison
05:29Where the wrong look
05:30At the wrong time
05:31Can get you a sharpened toothbrush
05:33Through the old Adams apple
05:34I think you'll agree
05:36It's the sort of kindness
05:37You don't soon forget
05:39Hence why I want to hire you
05:41To get Waylon's son Marcus
05:42Out of a spot of trouble
05:45It's trouble
05:47It's where it's real
05:48Always real
05:51He even made the paper
05:57He's a real
06:13He's a real
06:19He's a real
06:46No, no, no, sir, not in a million years
06:48So far, all I know is what I've read in the papers
06:51The police were expecting to find marijuana in your grow house
06:55It wasn't my grow house, it was Clem's
06:57Clem Crayshaw, he's the one who hired me, he's a fly trap poacher
07:02He's a what now?
07:03Fly traps are rare, that's what makes them valuable
07:07The only place they grow naturally in the whole world is the southeast corner of North Carolina
07:11That's where he would steal his
07:13So you and this Clem guy, you guys were, what, partners?
07:16Clem was good at poaching
07:17He was terrible with plants
07:18He hired me out of the garden center I was working at
07:21Just to make sure his plants were fed and watered right
07:25And I knew it was wrong
07:27And I just, my girlfriend Kelly Lynn, she just told me she was pregnant
07:31And I just
07:32Don't worry about that, that's fine
07:35But I gotta ask
07:36How was it you didn't notice a freezer full of body parts?
07:42The freezer was in a store room that Clem kept locked
07:44Before he hired me, he told me he was feeding the plants, ground up roadkill
07:47I said that was no good
07:48That the best thing for fly traps was mealworms
07:51And so then whenever I got there, there was a big bag of mealworms waiting for me
07:55Well, according to the paper, the police found me with a big old bag of John Doe
08:01Clem and I, we barely saw each other
08:04And we spoke mostly over Snapchat
08:07I tell him what I needed, he'd make sure I got it
08:09And then a couple days ago, he sent me a message and said that
08:13He forgot to order the mealworms
08:16And fly traps would have to go back to roadkill for a while
08:23I don't, don't you get it?
08:25Clem killed John Doe
08:27And he was using me and the plants to get rid of the body
08:29The cops, they want me to tell them who the dead guy is, but I can't
08:32I don't, I don't know
08:34Right, and since they have to lead some messages after you read them
08:37You can't prove Clem told you to do anything
08:39You know, the night they arrested me
08:42They made me look in the freezer
08:44It was a torso, and the two arms and two legs
08:47And the head and the hands were missing
08:50But Clem didn't just cut the guy up, he carved him up too
08:53What do you mean?
08:54The dead guy
08:56His biceps and butt cheeks were missing
08:58His biceps and butt cheeks were missing?
09:01They have to be in that bag of meat that Clem gave me
09:03Okay, them and the head and the hands all ground up
09:06Please
09:07I just want to go home to Kelly Lynn
09:10I just want to help with the pregnancy
09:13You have to find Clem
09:24Yeah, look at those priors
09:25She's not the one we're looking for
09:27Hey
09:27Print that for me, would you?
09:29It's just in the neighborhood
09:30You want something?
09:31Well, can't a guy living in his ex-wife's pool house
09:34Pay her new wife a visit without wanting something?
09:37I mean, please
09:38If you didn't, you wouldn't be holding a bag of what I assume are pastelitos from my favorite bakery
09:44All right
09:46I caught a new case
09:47Marcus Abernathy, he's accused of
09:49Oh, yeah, turning some John Doe into plant food
09:51Yes
09:51Not my case
09:52Can't help you
09:53Okay, well, even if it is in your case
09:54You could give me a wee peek at the case file
09:56I got a lead on a new suspect I'd like for it
09:59Clem Crayshaw
10:00I just, I want to know who's on your radar
10:02That's all I want to know
10:05Uh, meet me outside in ten minutes
10:08I'll bring you the files
10:09Really?
10:10No, idiot
10:11Also, the house
10:12Stop leaving the seat up
10:14You leave with three women
10:16Three, RJ
10:23Kelly Lynn?
10:24It's, uh, Aloysius Aiken
10:26I believe Marcus' public defender told you to expect me
10:31So, um, Marcus' attorney said that you were friends with Marcus' dad or something?
10:36Yeah, Waylon
10:38Yeah, me and him, uh, did a stretch together at Zephyril's Correctional about 20 years ago
10:42Yeah, Waylon took me under his wing, helped me understand what it took to survive
10:47Taught you how to make shivs and stuff like that?
10:50No, um, opposite
10:52You know, he taught me how to keep a low profile, avoid confrontations
10:57If it weren't for old Waylon
10:59A, uh, decent and thoughtful man
11:02Despite his penchant for cloning credit cards
11:05Ain't no way I'd have made it through
11:07Marcus never really talked about him
11:09Yeah, well, Marcus never got to know him
11:12Yeah, Waylon was already serving his sentence when Marcus was born
11:17And a couple of years later, Waylon was diagnosed with leukemia
11:24Therefore, he died in the infirmary
11:26He made me promise to, uh, keep an eye on his boy
11:30Make sure he didn't line up where we had
11:33How's that going?
11:38Well, um, need anything else?
11:41Let me know
11:47Darla Sims?
11:49Hi, uh, my name's RJ Decker
11:51I'm a private investigator
11:53I was hoping I could ask you a few questions about your ex-husband, Glenn Crayshaw
11:58Can you come back at five?
12:00That's when I close
12:02I'll answer any question you like
12:06I mean, is there any reason why we can't talk right now?
12:09I'm at work
12:11When I'm at work, talk is for customers
12:15No
12:16No
12:17Clem is a crook
12:18And a so-so lay
12:19But no way could he kill anyone
12:22Let alone cut him in pieces
12:25Well, there is a John Doe in the morrow, you might say, otherwise
12:29Frame up
12:29Frame up
12:30It has to be
12:31The Clem I know wouldn't hurt a fly
12:33I take that back
12:34He must have hurt flies
12:35With all the damn fly traps
12:37Okay, so you knew about them?
12:39Sure
12:40Did you know he was a poacher?
12:41I even went on a few expeditions with him and his pal Gary to North Carolina
12:46Sorry, who's Gary?
12:47Is Gary a business partner?
12:48Drinking buddy
12:48He has that flower shop on Cordova
12:50Gary's Flowers
12:52He would help Clem keep the little buggers alive
12:54And drive back to Fort Lauderdale
12:57Have you heard from Clem lately?
13:00Last time was about a year ago
13:02I texted him that he was late on an alimony payment
13:06And he replies with this
13:11Oh, he moved you
13:14Okay
13:16What are these?
13:17Are these tattoos?
13:18Clem is a big Doris fan
13:21The one on the left cheek is supposed to be Jim Morrison
13:23I see that, yes
13:24And on the right, you got most of the lyrics to the end
13:26Ah
13:27I didn't think it was funny, but he sure did
13:34Does Clem have any other tattoos?
13:39Hey, hey
13:40Wish
13:41We got a problem
13:44Is that someone's rear you're showing me?
13:46Yeah, it's the rear of the guy Marcus was working for
13:49Clint Crayshaw
13:51The one he said had to be the real killer?
13:53Look at the tattoos
13:57In the end
13:58Oh, that's pretty good
13:59Actually, it's bad
14:01According to his ex-wife, the only other tattoos he had were on his arms
14:05Stick a dynamite on each bicep
14:07So?
14:08So the body the police found in the freezer
14:09It wasn't just missing his head and hands
14:11It was missing his butt and biceps, too
14:13Because if I'm right
14:15It's because the killer wanted to get rid of all of John Doe's identifying features
14:19Teeth, fingerprints, and tattoos
14:21I don't think Clem put the body in the freezer
14:24I think Clem was the body in the freezer
14:28Marcus told you this Clem guy had to be the killer
14:31Finding him was how you were going to clear Marcus of John Doe's murder
14:35But if Clem is John Doe
14:38Who the hell was sending instructions to Marcus over Snapchat?
14:42Well, you're assuming somebody was
14:46Wish
14:46In this case, it's not about a payday for me
14:49You know that I want to do right by you
14:50As badly as you want to do right by Waylon
14:53But
14:54But
14:58You sure Marcus couldn't have done this?
15:00Hell, you mad him, what do you think?
15:02Look, hear me out
15:03Marcus found out he was having a baby
15:05And maybe he realized he needed to make more money
15:07So what?
15:09Kills his boss to take over his flytrap business?
15:12Uh-huh
15:24No, uh-uh
15:26Marcus didn't do this
15:27You stay the course, find a way to figure it out
15:30But if the police don't already know Clem is John Doe
15:32They're going to know soon
15:33And they're going to turn up the heat on Marcus
15:35Well then, you're going to have to work fast now, won't you?
15:37Okay
15:48Morning
15:50Sorry
15:51I tried your office, it wasn't open yet
15:53So you figured you'd wait out here like a stalker?
15:56I thought seeing me in a parking garage might bring back some pleasant memories
16:02What do you want?
16:04Well, I have a new client
16:06Marcus Abernathy
16:07The police and the DA's office like him for murder, I don't
16:10So?
16:11So the district attorney is a political ally of your dad's
16:14I repeat, so?
16:18Listen, I'm flying a little blind here, okay?
16:20I want to know if the police have anything on Marcus
16:22Other than him being in the vicinity of the body
16:25I want to know if they looked at any other suspects
16:28So you want me to flex a little Ochoan muscle
16:31Find out what the DA's office knows that you don't
16:33Mm-hmm
16:35So this is how we square things between us
16:38Me doing you favors so you can make your 50 bucks an hour plus expenses
16:43Oh yeah, you know, you could go to prison for 18 months
16:49Mm-hmm
16:51What's your client's name?
17:00Knock, knock
17:02I just wanted to come and say thanks for coming to see me yesterday
17:07Brownies
17:09Homemade
17:12Well, aren't you sweet?
17:14Oh, please
17:15For all you're doing
17:17It isn't enough
17:21Oh
17:24I can't believe that Marcus never told me
17:26That he knew an honest-to-goodness lottery winner
17:31I did, um, Google you after you left
17:34It's all your whole story
17:36Oh
17:36You know, I-I confess
17:38I will never understand how so much good fortune landed on someone like me
17:42But the Lord, like the Florida State Lottery Commission, works in mysterious...
17:49Like I said
17:51The brownies aren't enough
17:55No, no, no, no, no ma'am
17:56Uh-uh
17:57Nope, nope, nope
17:58Tell me that you don't like what you see
18:02All I see
18:04All I saw was a woman carrying the child of a young man who I care about likes family
18:10I'm not pregnant
18:12I just told Marcus that to kick his butt into high gear
18:17Get him making some real money
18:22Did it ever occur to you that if you hadn't, then maybe he wouldn't have taken the job that ended
18:27up landing him in jail?
18:30Clothes back on
18:32I will scream
18:37I know that you care about Marcus
18:41But he's a terrible provider
18:43He promised me two years ago that we would move to Nashville
18:46And now every time it comes up, it's just, oh, sorry, babe, can't afford it
18:51And last month, when my car got impounded and I said that I needed it back, like, yesterday
18:56Oh, sorry, babe, can't afford it
18:59Okay, so that-that's why you're here
19:01Because you think I got real money
19:03No, it's because you're so good-looking
19:07If you're gonna get Marcus out of jail, do it fast
19:09We got bills piling up
19:18Hey, how much for one of these?
19:23Big ones are 50, small ones are 30
19:26You know, it's funny, I-I didn't know fly traps were native to Florida
19:31They're not
19:34Let me guess you have a guy
19:37Uh, something like that
19:39Is his name Clem Ucratia, by any chance?
19:42Hi, I'm R.J. Decker, I'm a private investigator
19:44Probably should have started with that
19:46You're Gary, correct?
19:48I got your name from, uh, Clem's ex-wife, Darla
19:50Am I in some sort of trouble?
19:52Well, Gary, that depends
19:54You didn't happen to chop Clem's head off so you could steal all his fly traps, did you?
20:01Do you really think that body they found was Clem's?
20:05I do
20:05Oh
20:10You know those fly traps in there?
20:12Clem didn't charge me for them
20:13He would just come in sometimes and-and-and leave a few
20:17And as far as killing him, for more?
20:20No
20:20No, the ones inside, they've been there for weeks
20:23They're not really big sellers
20:24Well, that's something I don't get
20:26I mean, Clem had thousands of them and his girl have thousands
20:29I mean, there must be a market for them
20:31I don't know who Clem's own his plans, too
20:34I told him I didn't want to know
20:36If what you're saying is true
20:37If Clem really is
20:40Gone
20:42I'm not the one who did it
20:54Hello
20:54So tell me
20:56What does a P.I. get up to
20:58While other people are out there doing his work for him?
21:00Well, this one's been looking up
21:02People arrested for a fly trap poaching in North Carolina
21:05To see if any of them may have drifted south
21:07To take over Clem Crayshaw's business
21:09And?
21:10Well, I'm hoping you had better luck at the DA's office
21:12Okay, I learned two things
21:14First, you were right
21:16The police do know John Doe is Clem Crayshaw
21:18They were just waiting on DNA to confirm it
21:20Second, Clem had a brother-in-law
21:23Brody Weller
21:24Last year, they got in a fight
21:26Brody beat Clem, stupid
21:27Clem's sister, Brody's wife, called the police
21:30But when they got there
21:31Clem declined to press charges
21:34Now look, I don't have your keen investigative mind
21:37But I'd say that's a pretty good alternate suspect
21:40Wouldn't you?
21:41Any idea where I can find him?
21:42All I got was a work address
21:44But if you're gonna go there
21:46You should probably bring some singles
21:49Welcome to the wild
21:52Let's go
21:53Let's go
21:53Come, I'll put you to the test
21:54Everything I do is reflect
21:56Come on
21:57Drop my headaches
21:59Come on, rock it
22:00Just a little
22:02Hands up, man
22:03Welcome
22:03I'm so excited
22:04I'm so excited
22:05Let me see you
22:07Flex
22:07Do you like what you see?
22:09Sorry, what?
22:10I said, do you like what you see?
22:12For 105, handsome, he'll dance just for you
22:14Oh, well, yeah, hey, good to know
22:16Good to know
22:17Actually, no, I'm looking for an old buddy of mine
22:20Brody Weller
22:20Don't tell me
22:22You two used to dance together
22:23Very good, very good
22:24Little place down in Orlando
22:26You're not looking for more work, are you?
22:28Because I could always use another course in the stable
22:33You know, sadly, I blew up my knee years ago
22:37Well, take it from an expert
22:38You still got it where it counts
22:41Whoa
22:41Oh, my goodness
22:42Uh, is Brody around for any chance?
22:46Well, we're just taking the stage at this very moment
22:48Look at you
22:51If you're going to stick around, it's a $20 cover charge
22:54And a two-drink minimum, even for old buddies
22:57Okay
22:59Thank you
23:14Yes, what's up?
23:15I get detective work isn't cheap
23:17But I'm looking at this tab I'm running
23:19And I had to ask
23:21Are you really trying to expense a pedicure?
23:24One, yeah, I am
23:26Two, I'm kind of in the middle of something
23:28Oh, what, a massage?
23:30A little Roman therapy, perhaps?
23:31No, I'm waiting to talk to a new suspect
23:33Crayshaw's brother-in-law
23:35He doesn't get off work for a few hours
23:37So I thought I'd take a peek inside his car
23:39If he is the one that chopped up Clem, there might be blood evidence
23:41You planning on getting inside his car?
23:44How?
23:45Exactly
23:45You really want to know?
23:47Need I remind you?
23:48You're on conditional release
23:50You get caught breaking into a car
23:52They'll violate you back to prison
23:53Oh, that's a good thing
23:54I'm not very good at picking locks
23:56Arch?
23:56Look, I knew when I got into this line of work
23:58There might be the occasional bend of the law
24:01This isn't a bend, okay?
24:02This is a break
24:03As in breaking and entering
24:05Would you rather Marcus go to prison instead?
24:07Right, that's what I thought
24:08Okay, I gotta go
24:09I'll call if I find something
24:10Okay, but
24:11Arch?
24:15I did it
24:16Yeah, you did
24:21I don't get why we don't just call the cops
24:23Oh, really, Stevie?
24:25Well, I can think of plenty of reasons
24:26Like you having more HGH in your locker than, I don't know, a hundred pharmacies, for example
24:31Listen, she's right, guys
24:32You don't need to call the cops
24:33I'm not a car thief
24:35I'm a private investigator
24:36Yeah, right, right
24:37And Ramon here?
24:39Ramon's a real boxer
24:40I only came to ask Brody here a few questions about his brother-in-law
24:44Clem?
24:45Why the hell do you want to talk about Clem?
24:47Well, because he's dead
24:50Clem's dead?
24:51I still can't believe Clem's gone
24:54First Lacey, now him
24:56Who's Lacey?
24:59My wife
24:59Clem's sister
25:01She passed a few months ago
25:03Notchkin's lymphoma
25:04I'm truly sorry about that
25:06You came here because you thought maybe I killed Clem, right?
25:10Well, yeah, you did beat him up pretty bad last year
25:12Once upon a time
25:14We were pals
25:15That all changed
25:16After Lacey got diagnosed
25:18I wanted her to do every little thing the doctors told her
25:21But Clem was so damn sure that his stupid fly traps were the answer
25:26I'm sorry
25:26How would Clem's fly traps have helped with Lacey's cancer?
25:30I don't get that
25:30You know who he was selling them to, right?
25:32I mean, I assumed it was people that collect exotic plants
25:35But then a buddy of his made it sound like that wouldn't explain the volume of his crops
25:39So I don't know
25:40There's this holistic medicine company
25:43Venution Health
25:44They would buy Clem's fly traps in bulk
25:46And then, I don't know, grind them up or something
25:49Sell what's left as an extract
25:52Here in the U.S., they're allowed to promote it as an immunity modulator
25:57But that's only because that's all the FDA will allow
25:59In other countries, places with looser standards
26:03They're allowed to say that it can do a whole lot more
26:04What, like treating cancer?
26:06Something about how the extract can eliminate abnormal cells without harming the normal ones
26:10Clemden used to be all holistic
26:12Over the years, the more Venution Health bought from him
26:15The more he started to buy what they were selling
26:16The idea that fly trap extract could help or even save people like Lacey
26:20That's why I kicked him out of our house that night
26:22I just couldn't listen to it anymore
26:25Man, the thing is, though
26:27After Lacey passed, Clem did a 180
26:30He said he was gonna do, like, a deep dive into all things Venution Health
26:34Can he tell you what he meant by that?
26:35No
26:38But last week, he left me this voicemail
26:42Brody, I just, I just wanted to say I'm sorry
26:46All the false hope I gave Lacey
26:48All the false hope Venution gave me
26:50I want you to know they're not gonna get away with it
26:53I love you, brother
26:56Last Tuesday
26:57Is that important?
26:59Well, as far as I've been able to tell
27:01That's right around the last time anyone saw Clem alive
27:08Is that you, RJ, or does my wife need to get her gun?
27:11It's me, no need for gunplay
27:12Well, matter of opinion
27:20Hey
27:20Oh, my God, what happened to your face?
27:22Forget the face, why do you smell like stripper?
27:25The answer to both questions is it's complicated
27:27Uh, are you free tomorrow morning?
27:30Why?
27:31Oh, he needs a favor
27:33I can smell that on him, too
27:35Actually, I'd be the one doing the favor
27:36Uh, I may have a story for you in the Herald
27:39Big one
27:41One thing that never ceases to amaze me
27:43Is the number of people who think the idea of treating disease with carnivorous plants
27:48Is just some passing fat
27:50The fluid from unopened monkey pitchers has been used to treat incontinence for centuries
27:55In Renaissance Italy, the best, most effective aphrodisiac
28:01Was a cordial water made from drossera rotondafolia
28:07Uh, do you need me to spell that?
28:10No, thanks, I'll look it up
28:12Now, most in the mainstream media tend to look down their noses at alternative medicine
28:16I commend the Broward County Herald for exploring what we do instead of trying to tear it down
28:21Well, like I said on the phone, I guarantee the piece I'm writing isn't about the efficacy of your product
28:25But I couldn't help noticing that in other countries it's advertised as treatment for cancer
28:30Here in the U.S. it's only ever described as an immunity booster
28:33Uh, my lawyers, they're very good
28:37They'd probably tell me I shouldn't even dignify that question
28:40And they would definitely tell me
28:42It would be wrong to suggest that the American FDA is deep in the pocket of big pharma
28:48I think your photographer's a little lost
28:50Hey, uh, not much for you to see back there
28:52Oh, yeah
28:52Do you want to get one of me near the logo?
28:55Great
29:01Here?
29:02Uh, that was great, yeah
29:03Yeah, that looks good
29:05Yeah, right there
29:05Good
29:07Hydrogen peroxide, I don't suppose that's one of your secret ingredients
29:10Why would it be?
29:11Based on my research, some homeopathic practitioners say it can treat dementia and enhance immune system function
29:16This despite the fact that toxicity from the stuff can lead to hemorrhagic gastritis and organ rupture
29:22You're forgetting mucosal blistering
29:23That's why our hydrogen peroxide is just to clean the floors around here
29:27The, uh, the flytraps you use to make your extracts, they come from a grower named Clem Crayshaw
29:34Is that right?
29:36Well, the name rings a bell, but I'd have to go back and check on that
29:40Why is he asking me questions?
29:42Clem Crayshaw was murdered last week
29:44The police think he was killed by a kid who worked for him
29:46But an anonymous source left me with the impression it might be someone else
29:50There was a break in here last week, yeah?
29:52Your assistant called it in, told the police your computer was missing
29:55Then you showed up, said it wasn't, you just took it home to do some work
29:58Point being
29:59Well, I just, I don't know, I just, I can't help but wondering
30:03Was it Clem that broke in here?
30:05It was
30:06Did he take your computer?
30:09And if he did
30:12What do you find?
30:13I found rumors that the approvals you received to promote your extract as a cancer treatment in Belgium, Hungary, and
30:19Portugal
30:19Could only have been the result of bribes
30:21Okay
30:22If the rumors are true, maybe there was some record of those payoffs on your computer
30:26This interview's over
30:27But please
30:29Don't forget what I said
30:31My lawyers are very good
30:39So is he your guy?
30:40Oh
30:40No doubt about it
30:46George
30:47Thanks for coming
30:48My pleasure
30:49Detective Abreu
30:50But it's still Georgiana
30:51So you said in your email that you wanted to talk about the Marcus Abernathy case
30:55But if memory serves, it isn't yours to discuss
30:58You got me, Georgiana
31:00Or do you prefer ADA Ballard?
31:02Either will do
31:03The case is Detective Canty's, but he and I spoke and he agreed you should hear what my associate has
31:09to tell you
31:10Why do I recognize that man?
31:14Probably because your office prosecuted him for assault a couple years ago
31:19So if I'm following, you believe that Marcus Abernathy is innocent
31:24You think the more likely perpetrator is this man, Remington Aubrey
31:28Like we said, there's been rumors of bribes in other countries
31:31Rumors don't tend to mean much in a courtroom
31:33Look, give us some time to dig up more evidence on Aubrey
31:36That's all we're asking
31:37Clem Crayshaw was sending instructions to Marcus over Snapchat
31:41Somehow that correspondence continued after he was dead
31:44If we're right, it's because Aubrey took his phone after he killed him
31:47He's the one who told Marcus to feed the plants that bag of Clem's remains
31:50If it hadn't have been for the raid, Aubrey would have kept using Marcus until every last bit of Clem
31:55was gone
31:55Get a subpoena
31:56Search Aubrey's home, search his business
31:58Who knows, maybe we find Clem's phone
32:00There's no point
32:01How could you look at all this and say there's no point?
32:04Because Marcus Abernathy took a plea deal this morning
32:07He confessed to everything
32:08He's our killer
32:12Sorry guys, I don't want to talk with my lawyer
32:14But this way they take the death penalty off the table
32:19No more murder charge
32:24Just aggravated manslaughter
32:26Just 30 years
32:29But with good behavior, I could be out in 20
32:32And you know I'm going to be well behaved, Mr. Akin
32:37You didn't do it, Marcus
32:39Yeah, I mean, of course I didn't
32:41But come on, guys
32:43I got a good woman at home
32:45I got a kid on the way
32:46It's too much to live for
32:47To take a chance on a trial
32:49Right?
32:52Hey
32:53I could get him a new lawyer
32:54Tell him Marcus changed his mind
32:56He wants to plead not guilty
32:57Well, you can do that, but
32:59That won't make the confession go away
33:01The DA's office will still be able to use it to trial
33:04Guys
33:04Hey
33:06I'm right here
33:10And I told you
33:11I'm okay
33:13It's not going to be okay
33:17Do you guys know who's taking care of the plants now?
33:20What's that?
33:21They're fly traps
33:22I was thinking about them yesterday
33:24Do you know if the police are tending to them?
33:26Or if...
33:27Uh...
33:27Well, I can...
33:28I can look into that for you
33:30Yeah
33:30Just make sure they're not overfeeding the old guys
33:32I mean, last count, there were 24,338 plants
33:35That works out to 10.2 pounds of food per feeding
33:37One feeding per week
33:38Anything more and you're going to lose a few
33:40Hey
33:42Can you work all that math out yourself?
33:46Huh
33:46Yeah
33:47The day Clem told me he was going to bring me that bag of meat
33:50I had to tell him more than once
33:5410.2 pounds, Clem, nothing more
33:56And, uh, I guess it wasn't
33:59Actually, Clem, it was the other guy
34:01But, uh, still, I mean, he listened
34:03Next time I weighed the bag, it was...
34:05It was just right
34:07Did you know the human head weighs eight pounds?
34:11Look
34:12Jay McGuire, the cute little kid with glasses, blonde hair
34:15Remember him?
34:16Uh, yeah
34:17I didn't see that one
34:18Hold on a second
34:22The average human head actually weighs 11 pounds
34:25Oh, that's great
34:26Well, next maybe you can tell us the, uh, airspeed and velocity of an unleaned swallow
34:29No, no, no, no
34:30If you add up all of Clem's body parts
34:33Head, hands, butt cheeks, biceps
34:35All of his missing parts
34:36It must weigh, what, 20 pounds, more?
34:38Look, Marcus just said the bag that Aubrey left for him weighed exactly 10.2 pounds
34:42If that was the case
34:44Then where's the rest of Clem?
34:47Why hasn't it turned up yet?
34:52Hey
34:56How's the food here?
35:01Hey
35:02As much fun as it was to meet ADA Ballard today
35:05Do you know anyone else that can get us a warrant to search Remington Aubrey's warehouse?
35:09Why?
35:10Pretty sure I know how we can prove he killed Clem Creshawn
35:19Mr. Aubrey
35:20Mr. Aubrey
35:21Detective Aubrey, you
35:21I believe you already met Mr. Decker
35:23Hello
35:24I was asked to be here by 9
35:26It's almost 11
35:27Is it?
35:28The lack of common courtesy isn't on the list of reasons to defund you people
35:32It should be
35:34Well, I'm not a cop
35:35I'm a PI
35:36But if it makes it feel any better
35:38I am pretty defunded
35:39Reason we're late is my colleagues needed a little time to execute a search warrant at your warehouse
35:46What could the police possibly have been looking for at my warehouse?
35:50Uh, the rest of Clem Creshawn?
35:52When you were using his phone to pretend to be him
35:54Marcus Abernathy told you that Clem's flat traps could only take 10.2 pounds of food per feeding
35:59Problem was, you had at least twice that, didn't you?
36:02Most of Clem was found in his freezer, a little more was in the bag Marcus was holding when he
36:07was arrested
36:07But some of Clem was still out there
36:10And the question was where and why?
36:13Part of the why was Marcus' insistence in only feeding the plants 10.2 pounds of meat
36:18But I think the rest of it had to do with how damn hard it would have been to get
36:21a human head inside of a meat grinder
36:23Clem was my sole supplier of Venus flytraps
36:27Why would I kill him?
36:28Why would I hurt my own business?
36:30Probably because he was about to hurt a lot more
36:33He stole your computer
36:34And there was something on it that would have proven your company isn't on the level
36:38So you killed him
36:42Hey, you ever heard of Piranha Solution?
36:46No
36:47It's basically sulfuric acid on crack
36:49I learned about this stuff when I did time with the guy that tried to use it to burn through
36:52the top of a safe he was breaking into
36:54Did he just say he was an ex-convict?
36:56This guy's plan did not work out so well
36:58All he made to do was start a fire
37:00See, Piranha Solution can be a little unpredictable when it comes to metal
37:03But what it's really good at
37:05Almost 100% of the time
37:07Is turning bone and flesh into soup
37:11Piranha Solution only has two ingredients
37:13One, Mr. Decker already mentioned
37:15Sulfuric acid
37:16And the other is hydrogen peroxide
37:18Yesterday you said you had a barrel of that stuff to clean the floors
37:21But see this one here, see this barrel here
37:23It's all turned to the wall
37:24And you can just make out the SUL
37:26And that got me thinking
37:27What if it's filled with sulfuric acid?
37:29After you realized you couldn't use Marcus and the fly traps
37:32To get rid of a human skull
37:33You ordered both of these barrels through your company
37:36You mixed their contents in the sink at your warehouse
37:39And then in went Mr. Crayshaw's head
37:46Or was there some other reason you didn't want me taking pictures of it?
37:50These are two partially dissolved teeth CSU found in the sink's drain trap a little while ago
37:56And this
37:59Is the bullet for a 9mm pistol
38:02You're the registered owner of a 9mm pistol, aren't you?
38:15Scott, your message
38:17But if you ask me to come here because you're having second thoughts about us getting together
38:22I most assuredly am not
38:26Okay, then why am I here?
38:28Our boy Marcus is about to be released from jail
38:31Police finally realize he isn't a killer
38:33You could have just said so in your text
38:35Hey, hey
38:37How's my timing?
38:38In the nick of, buddy
38:39You know, this goes on my bill, right?
38:46Anything else?
38:47Uh, yeah, I'm
38:49Throwing Marcus a
38:50Little welcome home party on the beach tonight
38:53The reason I wanted to tell you in person is
38:55Is I wanted to make sure
38:57You weren't there
39:01Well, last time I checked, this is American
39:03I can go where I want
39:04No, it is
39:05And you can
39:08Actually, it's the other reason why I wanted you to stop by
39:17My car?
39:22You got it out of impound?
39:24I paid
39:25A friend handled the transport
39:28You know, the other day
39:30He said you'd rather be living in Nashville
39:33But you didn't say why
39:38My sister lives there
39:40It's not like we're close or anything
39:42But
39:43She writes me sometimes
39:44And makes it sound
39:48I don't know
39:50Nice
39:53Go there
39:54Try to find nice
39:56So whatever you're looking for right now
39:59It ain't here in Fort Lauderdale
40:00And it ain't with Marcus
40:06All I've been is bad to you
40:07Why are you being so good to me?
40:11You remind me of someone
40:16I loved her
40:17And yet
40:18Had someone sent her off to Nashville
40:20Way back when
40:23Well
40:24Things would have ended up better for the both of us
40:33Drive safe now
40:57Would you believe this is my first
41:00Glad you're not going to prison party?
41:02Well
41:02Knowing who your dad is
41:04No
41:05No, I would not
41:06What happened to your eye?
41:08This?
41:10Misunderstanding
41:14You want a beer?
41:15No
41:15No?
41:16I'm not staying
41:17You're not staying?
41:19Mostly just came to see if we're even now
41:21You gave me a name
41:22You gave me one name
41:24One name
41:25Turned out the guy didn't even do it
41:27What's your obsession with us getting even?
41:29What is that?
41:29If we get even too fast
41:30There won't be any reason for me to call you anymore
41:33No
41:34No, I mean
41:35Is that what you want?
41:36Getting too close to a family like mine
41:39Could earn you a return trip to Appalachia
41:41Is that what you want?
41:43I don't know what I want
41:47Not yet
41:48Not yet
41:51Well then for tonight
41:52It's probably best to just celebrate
41:55I want you to tell what you want
41:55to do with the right people
41:55to on the left are
41:55That means
41:55Gracias.
