00:01Previously on R.J. Decker.
00:03R.J. freakin' Decker.
00:04They let you out already?
00:05I'm a P.I. now.
00:06Detective DeBrayu, hello, how are you?
00:08How is everything at the trailer park? You making new friends?
00:10I'm on trial.
00:12Good luck today.
00:14Thanks.
00:15Would you please state your name and relationship to the victim?
00:17I'm Emmy Ochoa, Lucas is my stepbrother,
00:19and that's the man who almost killed him.
00:21If I hadn't lied to protect Lucas, there would have been consequences.
00:24But it was still wrong, and I'm sorry.
00:27A sinkhole opened up outside your window three weeks ago,
00:30and you didn't come to stay with us then?
00:31You wanted to see me.
00:33You can stay here one week, and then you go.
00:36I was exonerated.
00:37The very first thing I did was I bought a scratcher,
00:40and that scratcher paid out a million bucks.
00:42I'm not released this day instead of the next.
00:44Who knows who comes at me?
01:17Dear friend, if you want to feel better,
01:19don't let the devil make you toss this letter.
01:22If you've been crossed up by who do, who do,
01:25a wizard or a lizard,
01:26you got family trouble, man trouble, woman trouble,
01:29no knife, you're a brother.
01:31You're looking for a true friend, or a true lover,
01:33or if you've been living undercover.
01:35Well, I'm coming to you town to break it all down.
01:38Go, go, go, go!
01:39Stop the work!
01:40I'm looking at...
01:41Check out the lab!
01:43Don't move!
01:44Enter the air!
01:49I'm here to tear all the walls down!
01:56Hot damn!
01:57That's a lot of weed.
01:59In case you were wondering which of your pals tipped us off,
02:02it's an old lady who walks her dog around here.
02:04She kept reporting suspicious activity
02:06like she was trying to win a radio contest.
02:08Karens, am I right?
02:10It's not cannabis, it's carnivorous.
02:12I said it's not cannabis, it's carnivorous.
02:16They're not marijuana plants.
02:17They're Venus flytraps.
02:27Hey, detective, over here.
02:29Let's go.
02:35Is that a meat grinder?
02:40You gotta see this.
02:49Question for you, son.
02:51Who exactly have you been feeding to your plants?
03:03You're real bad at this, babe.
03:05Okay.
03:05Seriously.
03:06If breaking into cars with baseball, you'd be the rockiest.
03:09Well, maybe if I had a better teacher.
03:11You got the best in four labs.
03:13Don't blame me for your old man seniors.
03:15Whoa!
03:15I think you mean you were the best, right?
03:17Because you know what happens if I find out you're unretired?
03:19I saw my mom.
03:20Yes.
03:21She's worse than telling the cops.
03:23That's right.
03:23Ain't happening.
03:24I am D-O-N-E.
03:26Done, son.
03:29Stupid pick is broken or something.
03:38Why'd you do that?
03:40What are you doing in my car?
03:41Oh, hey, Kath.
03:42This is, uh, Darius.
03:43He's helping me out with this new skill I might need as a P.I.
03:48It's 9 a.m. on a Monday.
03:49Is it?
03:50Shouldn't Darius be in school?
03:51No, ma'am.
03:52Some dude lived near the school.
03:53Lost in this bowl.
03:54It's true.
03:55We're all supposed to stay home until animal control finds him.
03:58I'm so fine.
03:59Thanks.
04:01Found the key to the file drawers.
04:03Unless you'd like to pick that lock too.
04:15Okay.
04:16This is great.
04:18Now I have a place to, uh, put all my files.
04:24I take it things are still a little slow?
04:27Yeah.
04:27Yeah, they're a bit slow.
04:28They're picking up.
04:29Wish texted me last night and said he had a new client for me.
04:33Oh, shoot.
04:33Actually, I gotta meet the guy in 20 minutes.
04:36Will he be older than 12?
04:41Hey.
04:42Where's the client?
04:45Oh, God.
04:46Wish.
04:48I mean, we've been over this.
04:49I, I, I need work.
04:51I don't need charity.
04:53This is a genuine case, Arch.
04:54Genuine case?
04:55Really?
04:56Like, like the case of the missing deep fryer?
04:57You remember that one?
04:58He told me he was stolen, but that was bull.
05:00It was just out for repairs.
05:02Then there was the time you wanted a list of names, background checks, so they could work here.
05:05Only they turned out to be the starting O-line for the 84 Dolphins.
05:08I swear, had any of those gentlemen been interested, I'd have hired them.
05:12Wish.
05:16You remember me telling you about Waylon Abernathy?
05:20Yeah.
05:21Yeah.
05:21Yeah, of course.
05:22He was your Sally the first time you got locked up.
05:26Showed you the ropes, just like you did for me.
05:29Prison being prison, where the wrong look at the wrong time can get you a sharpened toothbrush through the old
05:35Adam's apple.
05:36I think you'll agree.
05:37It's the sort of kindness you don't soon forget.
05:40Mm-hmm.
05:40Hence why I want to hire you to get Waylon's son Marcus out of a spot of trouble.
05:46What's trouble?
05:48I swear it's real?
05:49Always real.
05:52He even made the paper.
06:29Marcus.
06:31How you doing?
06:32My name's RJ Decker.
06:33I'm a private investigator.
06:35Yeah, I know.
06:35The guards told me.
06:36But if you're looking for work, I'm sorry.
06:38I can't afford you.
06:39No mess I already paid for.
06:40I'm a friend of Wish Aikens.
06:42Mr. Aikens sent you?
06:43Yeah, he sure did.
06:45He tells me there's no way you could have done what they're saying.
06:47No, no, no, sir.
06:48Not, not, no.
06:49I've been a million years.
06:50So far, all I know is what I've read in the papers.
06:53The police were expecting to find marijuana in your grow house.
06:56It wasn't my grow house.
06:58It was Clem's.
06:59Clem Crayshaw.
07:00He's the one who hired me.
07:01He's a fly trap poacher.
07:03He's a what now?
07:04Fly traps are rare.
07:06That's what makes him valuable.
07:08The only place to grow naturally in the whole world is the southeast corner of North Carolina.
07:13That's where he would steal his.
07:14So you and this Clem guy, you guys were, what, partners?
07:17Clem was good at poaching.
07:18He was terrible with plants.
07:20He hired me out of the garden center I was working at.
07:22Just to make sure his plants were fed and watered right.
07:27And I knew it was wrong.
07:28And I just...
07:29My girlfriend, Kelly Lynn, she just told me she was pregnant and I just...
07:33Don't worry about that.
07:34That's fine.
07:36But I gotta ask.
07:38How was it you didn't notice a freezer full of body parts?
07:43The freezer was in a store room that Clem kept locked.
07:45Before he hired me, he told me he was feeding the plants ground up road kill.
07:49I said that was no good.
07:50That the best thing for fly traps was meal worms.
07:52And so...
07:53And whenever I got there, there was a big bag of meal worms waiting for me.
07:57Well, according to the paper, the police found me with a big old bag of John Doe.
08:03Clem and I, we barely saw each other.
08:05And we spoke mostly over Snapchat.
08:08I'd tell him what I needed, he'd make sure I got it.
08:10And then a couple days ago, he sent me a message and said that he forgot to order the meal
08:16worms.
08:17And the fly traps would have to go back to road kill for a while.
08:24Don't you get it?
08:26Clem killed John Doe.
08:28And he was using me and the plants to get rid of the body.
08:30The cops, they want me to tell them who the dead guy is, but I can't.
08:33I don't...
08:34I don't know.
08:35Right.
08:36Since the app deletes the messages after you read them, you can't prove Clem told you to do anything.
08:41You know, the night they arrested me, they made me look in the freezer.
08:45It was a torso, and the two arms and two legs, and the head and the hands were missing.
08:51But Clem didn't just cut the guy up, he carved him up too.
08:54What do you mean?
08:55The dead guy?
08:57His biceps and butt cheeks were missing.
09:00His biceps and butt cheeks were missing?
09:02They have to be in that bag of meat that Clem gave me.
09:05Okay, them and the head and the hands all ground up.
09:07Please, I just want to go home to Kelly Lynn.
09:11I just want to help with the pregnancy.
09:14You have to find Clem.
09:25Yeah, look at those priors. She's not the one we're looking for.
09:28Print that for me, would you?
09:30It's just in the neighborhood.
09:31You want something?
09:32Well, can't a guy living in his ex-wife's pool house pay her new wife a visit without wanting something?
09:38I mean, please.
09:39If you didn't, you wouldn't be holding a bag of what I assume are pastelitos from my favorite bakery.
09:46All right.
09:47I caught a new case.
09:48Marcus Abernathy.
09:49He's accused of...
09:50Oh, yeah.
09:50Turning some John Doe into plant food.
09:52Yes.
09:53Not my case.
09:53Can't help people.
09:54Okay.
09:54If it isn't your case, you could give me a wee peek at the case file.
09:58I got a lead on a new suspect I'd like for it.
10:00Clem Crayshaw.
10:01I just...
10:02I want to know if he's on your radar.
10:03That's all I want to know.
10:06Uh, meet me outside in ten minutes.
10:09I'll bring you the files.
10:10Really?
10:11No.
10:12Idiot.
10:12Also, the house.
10:14Stop leaving the seat up.
10:15You leave with three women.
10:17Three, RJ.
10:24Kelly Lynn?
10:25It's, uh, Aloysius Aiken.
10:27I believe Marcus' public defender told you to expect me.
10:32So, um, Marcus' attorney said that you were friends with Marcus' dad or something?
10:37Yeah, Waylon.
10:39Yeah, me and him, uh, did a stretch together at Zephyril's Correctional about 20 years ago.
10:43You know, Waylon took me under his wing, helped me understand what it took to survive.
10:49Taught you how to make shivs and stuff like that?
10:51No.
10:52Um, opposite.
10:54You know, he taught me how to keep a low profile, avoid confrontations.
10:58If it weren't for old Waylon, a, uh, decent and thoughtful man, despite his penchant for cloning credit cards,
11:06ain't no way I'd have made it through.
11:09Marcus never really talked about him.
11:11Yeah, well, Marcus never got to know him.
11:14Yeah, Waylon was already serving his sentence when Marcus was born.
11:18And a couple of years later, Waylon was diagnosed with leukemia.
11:25Herefore, he died in the infirmary.
11:27He made me promise to, uh, keep an eye on his boy.
11:31Make sure he didn't wind up where we had.
11:34How's that going?
11:35Need anything else?
11:37Let me know.
11:44Darla Sims?
11:45Hi.
11:46Uh, my name's RJ Decker.
11:47I'm a private investigator.
11:49I-I was hoping I could ask you a-a few questions about your ex-husband, Clem Crayshaw.
11:55Can you come back at five?
11:56That's when I close.
11:58I'll answer any question you like.
12:02I mean, is there any reason why we can't talk right now?
12:05I'm at work.
12:07When I'm at work, talk is for customers.
12:11Nah.
12:12Nah.
12:13Clem is a crook.
12:14And a so-so lay.
12:16But no way could he kill anyone.
12:18I mean, let alone cut him in pieces.
12:19Ah!
12:21Well, there is a John Doe in the morgue, you might say otherwise.
12:25Frame up.
12:26Frame up.
12:26It has to be.
12:27The Clem I know wouldn't hurt a fly.
12:29Uh, I-I take that back.
12:30He must have hurt flies with all the damn fly traps.
12:33Okay, so you knew about them?
12:35Sure.
12:36Did you-you know he was a poacher?
12:37I even went on a few expeditions with him and his pal in Cordova, Gary's Flowers.
12:43He would help Clem keep the little buggers alive and drive back to Port Lauderdale.
12:48Have you heard from Clem lately?
12:51Last time was about a year ago.
12:53I texted him that he was late on an alimony payment.
12:57And he replies with this.
13:02Oh.
13:03He mooned you.
13:05Okay.
13:07What are these? Are these tattoos?
13:09Clem is a big Doors fan.
13:12The one on the left cheek is supposed to be Jim Morrison.
13:14I see that, yes.
13:16And on the right, you got most of the lyrics to the end.
13:18Ah.
13:18I didn't think it was funny, but he sure did.
13:25Does Clem have any other tattoos?
13:30Hey, hey.
13:31Wish.
13:32We got a problem.
13:35All right.
13:36Is that someone's rear you're showing me?
13:37Yeah, it's the rear of the guy Marcus was working for, Clem Creshow.
13:42The one he said had to be the real killer?
13:44Look at the tattoo.
13:48In the end, oh, it's pretty good.
13:51Actually, it's bad.
13:52According to his ex-wife, the only other tattoos he had were on his arms.
13:56Stick a dynamite on each bicep.
13:58So?
13:59So the body the police found in the freezer, it wasn't just missing his head and hands.
14:03It was missing his butt and biceps too.
14:05Because if I'm right, it's because the killer wanted to get rid of all of John Doe's identifying features.
14:10Teeth, fingerprints, and tattoos.
14:13I don't think Clem put the body in the freezer.
14:16I think Clem was the body in the freezer.
14:20Marcus told you this Clem guy had to be the killer.
14:23Finding him was how you were going to clear Marcus of John Doe's murder.
14:27But if Clem is John Doe, who the hell was sending instructions to Marcus over Snapchat?
14:34Well, you're assuming somebody was.
14:38Which, in this case, it's not about a payday for me.
14:41You know that.
14:41I want to do right by you as badly as you want to do right by Waylon.
14:46But?
14:47But?
14:50You sure Marcus couldn't have done this?
14:53What the hell?
14:53You mad him?
14:54What do you think?
14:54Look, hear me out.
14:56Marcus found out he was having a baby.
14:57Maybe he realized he needed to make more money.
15:00So what?
15:01Kills his boss to take over his flytrap business?
15:04Uh-huh.
15:16No.
15:19Marcus didn't do this.
15:20You stay the course.
15:21Find a way to figure it out.
15:22But if the police don't already know Clem is John Doe, they're going to know soon.
15:25And they're going to turn up the heat on Marcus.
15:27Well then, you're going to have to work fast now, won't you?
15:31Okay.
15:41Morning.
15:42Shoot.
15:43Sorry.
15:44I tried your office.
15:45It wasn't open yet.
15:46So you figured you'd wait out here like a stalker?
15:48I thought seeing me in a parking garage might bring back some pleasant memories.
15:54What do you want?
15:56Well, I have a new client.
15:58Marcus Abernathy.
15:59The police in the DA's office like him for murder.
16:02I don't.
16:03So?
16:04So the district attorney is a political ally of your dad's.
16:07I repeat, so?
16:10Listen, I'm flying a little blind here, okay?
16:13I want to know if the police have anything on Marcus other than him being in the vicinity
16:16of the body.
16:18I want to know if they looked at any other suspects.
16:20So you want me to flex a little Ochoa muscle, find out what the DA's office knows that you
16:25don't?
16:26Mm-hmm.
16:28So this is how we square things between us?
16:30Me doing you favors so you can make your 50 bucks an hour plus expenses?
16:35Oh, yeah.
16:36You know, you could go to prison for 18 months.
16:40Mm-hmm.
16:43What's your client's name?
16:52Knock, knock.
16:54I just wanted to come and say thanks for coming to see me yesterday.
16:59Brownies.
17:01Homemade.
17:04Well, aren't you sweet?
17:06Oh, please.
17:07For all you're doing, it isn't enough.
17:14Oh.
17:16I can't believe that Marcus never told me that he knew an honest-to-goodness lottery winner.
17:23I did, um, Google you after you left.
17:27Saw your whole story.
17:28Oh.
17:29You know, I-I confess, I will never understand how so much good fortune landed on someone like me.
17:34But the Lord, like the Florida State Lottery Commission, works in mysterious-
17:39Oh.
17:42Like I said, the brownies aren't enough.
17:47No.
17:47No, no, no, ma'am.
17:49Uh-uh.
17:49No, no, no.
17:50Tell me that you don't like what you see?
17:54So, all I see, all I saw was a woman carrying the child of a young man who I care
18:01about like family.
18:02I'm not pregnant.
18:05I just told Marcus that to kick his butt into high gear.
18:09Get him making some real money.
18:14Did it ever occur to you that if you hadn't, then maybe he wouldn't have taken the job that ended
18:19up landing him in jail?
18:22I will close back on.
18:24I will scream.
18:30I know that you care about Marcus, but he's a terrible provider.
18:35He promised me two years ago that we would move to Nashville.
18:39And now every time it comes up, it's just, oh, sorry, babe, can't afford it.
18:43And last month when my car got impounded and I said that I needed it back like yesterday,
18:49oh, sorry, babe, can't afford it.
18:51Okay, so that's why you're here.
18:53Because you think I got real money.
18:55No.
18:56It's because you're so good looking.
18:59If you're gonna get Marcus out of jail, do it fast.
19:02You got bills piling up.
19:14Hey, how much for one of these?
19:16Big ones are 50.
19:17Small ones are 30.
19:19You know, it's funny.
19:20I didn't know fly traps were native to Florida.
19:23They're not.
19:26Oh.
19:27I guess you have a guy.
19:29Uh, something like that.
19:31Is his name Clem Crayshaw by any chance?
19:34Hi, I'm RJ Decker.
19:35I'm a private investigator.
19:37Probably should have started with that.
19:38You're Gary, correct?
19:40I got your name from Clem's ex-wife, Darla.
19:43Am I in some sort of trouble?
19:44Well, Gary, that depends.
19:47You didn't happen to chop Clem's head off
19:49so you could steal all his fly traps, did you?
19:53You really think that body they found was Clem's?
19:57I do.
19:58Oh.
20:00Oh.
20:02You know those fly traps in there?
20:04Clem didn't charge me for them.
20:06He would just come in sometimes and leave a few.
20:09And as far as killing him, for more?
20:12No.
20:13No, the ones inside, they've been there for weeks.
20:15They're not really big sellers.
20:17Well, that's something I don't get.
20:19I mean, Clem had thousands of them and his girl have thousands.
20:22I mean, there must be a market for them.
20:24I don't know who Clem's all of his plans, too.
20:27I told him I didn't want to know.
20:28If what you're saying is true, if Clem really is...
20:32...gone.
20:34I'm not the one who did it.
20:46Hello.
20:47So tell me, what does a PI get up to while other people are out there doing his work for
20:52him?
20:52Well, this one's been looking up people arrested for a fly trap poaching in North Carolina to see if any
20:58of them may have drifted south to take over Clem Crayshaw's business.
21:01And?
21:02Well, I'm hoping you had better luck at the DA's office.
21:05Okay, I learned two things.
21:07First, you're right.
21:08The police do know John Doe is Clem Crayshaw.
21:11They were just waiting on DNA to confirm it.
21:13Second, Clem had a brother-in-law, Brody Weller.
21:16Last year, they got in a fight, Brody beat Clem Stupid.
21:20Clem's sister, Brody's wife, called the police, but when they got there, Clem declined to press charges.
21:27Now, look, I don't have your keen investigative mind, but I'd say that's a pretty good alternate suspect, wouldn't you?
21:33Any idea where I can find him?
21:35All I got was a work address, but if you're gonna go there, you should probably bring some singles.
21:42Welcome for the wild, wild ride. Come on, bless you. Come on, put you to the test.
21:47Everything I do will flex. Come on, drop down, hit the deck. Come on, rock it just a little.
21:54Hands up when I blow the world. Ready to stop.
21:58You see, flex.
22:00Do you like what you see?
22:01Sorry, what?
22:02I said, do you like what you see? For a hundred bucks, Hanson, he'll dance just for you.
22:07Oh, we got hit. Good to know. Good to know.
22:09Actually, no, I'm looking for an old buddy of mine, Brody Weller.
22:13Don't tell me. You two used to dance together.
22:16Very good, very good. Little place down in Orlando.
22:19You're not looking for more work, are you? Because I could always use another course in the stable.
22:25You know, sadly, I blew up my knee years ago.
22:29Well, take it from an expert. You still got it where it counts.
22:33Whoa! Oh, my goodness.
22:36Is Brody around for any chance?
22:37At least taking the stage at this very moment.
22:40Look at you!
22:43If you're gonna stick around, it's a $20 cover charge and a two-drink minimum, even for old buddies.
22:49Okay. Thank you.
23:06Yes, what's up?
23:08I get detective work isn't cheap, but I'm looking at this tab I'm running and I had to ask, are
23:14you really trying to expense a pedicure?
23:16One? Yeah, I am. Two, I'm kind of in the middle of something.
23:20Oh, what? A massage and a little trauma therapy, perhaps?
23:24No, I'm waiting to talk to a new suspect, Crayshaw's brother-in-law.
23:28He doesn't get off work for a few hours, so I thought I'd take a peek inside his car.
23:31If he is the one that chopped up Clem, there might be blood evidence.
23:34Are you planning on getting inside his car?
23:36How?
23:37Exactly.
23:38You really want to know?
23:39Need I remind you, you're on conditional release.
23:43You get caught breaking into a car, they'll violate you back to prison.
23:46Well, that's a good thing I'm not very good at picking locks.
23:48Arge?
23:49Look, I knew when I got into this line of work that might be the occasional bend of the law.
23:52This isn't abandon, okay? This is a break, as in breaking and interning.
23:57Would you rather Marcus go to prison instead?
24:00Right, that's what I thought. Okay, I gotta go. I'll call you if I find something.
24:02Okay, but the... Arge?
24:07I did it!
24:09Yeah, you did.
24:15I don't get why we don't just call the cops.
24:17Oh, really, Stevie? Well, I can think of plenty of reasons.
24:20Like you having more HGH in your locker than, I don't know, a hundred pharmacies, for example.
24:24Listen, she's right, guys. You don't need to call the cops.
24:27I'm not a car thief. I'm a private investigator.
24:30Yeah, right, right. And Ramone here? Ramone's a real boxer.
24:34I only came to ask Brody here a few questions about his brother-in-law.
24:37Clem? Why the hell do you want to talk about Clem?
24:41Well, because he's dead.
24:43Clem's dead?
24:45Still can't believe Clem's gone.
24:47First Lacey, now him.
24:49Who's Lacey?
24:52My wife. Clem's sister.
24:54She passed a few months ago.
24:56Hodgkin's lymphoma.
24:58I'm truly sorry about that.
25:00You came here because you thought maybe I killed Clem, right?
25:03Well, yeah, you did beat him up pretty bad last year.
25:06Once upon a time, we were pals.
25:09That all changed after Lacey got diagnosed.
25:12I wanted her to do every little thing the doctors told her.
25:15But Clem was so damn sure that his stupid fly traps were the answer.
25:19I'm sorry. How would Clem's fly traps have helped with Lacey's cancer?
25:23I don't get that.
25:24You know who he was selling them to, right?
25:25I mean, I assumed it was people that collect exotic plants.
25:29But then a buddy of his made it sound like that wouldn't explain the volume of his crops.
25:33So I don't know.
25:34There's this holistic medicine company, Venusian Health.
25:37They would buy Clem's fly traps in bulk and then, I don't know, grind them up or something.
25:43Sell what's left as an extract.
25:45Here in the U.S., they're allowed to promote it as an immunity modulator.
25:50But that's only because that's all the FDA will allow.
25:53In other countries, places with looser standards, they're allowed to say that it can do a whole lot more.
25:58Like treated cancer?
25:59Something about how the extract can eliminate abnormal cells without harming the normal ones.
26:04Clemden used to be all holistic.
26:05Over the years, the more Venusian Health bought from him, the more he started to buy what they were selling.
26:10The idea that fly trap extract could help or even save people like Lacey.
26:14That's why I kicked him out of our house that night.
26:16I just couldn't listen to it anymore.
26:19And the thing is though, after Lacey passed, Clem did a 180.
26:24He said he was gonna do like a deep dive into all things Venusian Health.
26:27Did he tell you what he meant by that?
26:29No.
26:32But, last week, he left me this voicemail.
26:36Brody, I just, I just wanted to say, I'm sorry.
26:39All the false hope I gave Lacey, all the false hope Venusian gave me,
26:44I want you to know they're not gonna get away with it.
26:46I love you, brother.
26:49Last Tuesday.
26:50Is that important?
26:52Well, as far as I've been able to tell, that's right around the last time anyone saw Clem alive.
26:59See that?
27:01Is that you, RJ, or does my wife need to get her gun?
27:04It's me, no need for gunplay.
27:06Well, matter of opinion.
27:13Hey.
27:14Oh.
27:14Oh my God, what happened to your face?
27:15No, forget the face.
27:16Why do you smell like Stripper?
27:19The answer to both questions is it's complicated.
27:21Uh, are you free tomorrow morning?
27:24Why?
27:25Oh, he needs a favor.
27:26I can smell that on him, too.
27:28Actually, I'd be the one doing the favor.
27:30Uh, I may have a story for you and the Herald.
27:33A big one.
27:34One thing that never ceases to amaze me is the number of people who think the idea of treating disease
27:40with carnivorous plants is just some passing fat.
27:44The fluid from unopened monkey pitchers has been used to treat incontinence for centuries.
27:49In Renaissance Italy, the best, most effective aphrodisiac was a cordial water made from drossera rotandafolia.
28:00Uh, do you need me to spell that?
28:03No, thanks.
28:04I'll look it up.
28:05Not most in the mainstream media tend to look down their noses at alternative medicine.
28:09I commend the Broward County Herald for exploring what we do instead of trying to tear it down.
28:14Well, like I said on the phone, I guarantee the piece I'm writing isn't about the efficacy of your product,
28:19but I couldn't help noticing that in other countries it's advertised as treatment for cancer.
28:24Here in the U.S. it's only ever described as an immunity booster.
28:28Uh, my lawyers, they're very good.
28:31They'd probably tell me I shouldn't even dignify that question.
28:34And they would definitely tell me it would be wrong to suggest that the American FDA is deep in the
28:39pocket of big pharma.
28:41I think your photographer's a little lost.
28:43Hey, uh, not much for you to see back there.
28:45Oh, yeah.
28:46Do you want to get one of me near the logo?
28:48Great.
28:54Here?
28:55Uh, that looks great, yeah.
28:56Yeah, that looks good.
28:58Yeah, right there.
28:59Good.
29:00Hydrogen peroxide, I don't suppose that's one of your secret ingredients?
29:03Why would it be?
29:04Based on my research, some homeopathic practitioners say it can treat dementia and enhance immune system function.
29:09This despite the fact that toxicity from the stuff can lead to hemorrhagic gastritis and organ rupture.
29:15You're forgetting mucosal blistering.
29:17That's why our hydrogen peroxide is just to clean the floors around here.
29:21The, uh, the fly traps you use to make your extract, they come from a grower named Clem Crayshaw.
29:27Is that right?
29:30Well, the name rings a bell, but I'd have to go back and check on that.
29:33Why is he asking me questions?
29:35Clem Crayshaw was murdered last week.
29:37The police think he was killed by a kid who worked for him,
29:40but an anonymous source left me with the impression it might be someone else.
29:44There was a break in here last week, yeah?
29:46Your assistant called it in, told the police your computer was missing,
29:49then you showed up, said it wasn't, you just took it home to do some work.
29:51Point being?
29:52Well, I just, I don't know, I just, I can't have a wondering.
29:56Was it Clem that broke in here?
29:58It was.
29:59Did he take your computer?
30:02And if he did, what do you find?
30:06I found rumors that the approvals you received to promote your extract as a cancer treatment in Belgium,
30:12Hungary and Portugal could only have been the result of bribes.
30:15Okay.
30:15If the rumors are true, maybe there was some record of those payoffs on your computer.
30:19This interview's over.
30:21But please, don't forget what I said.
30:24My lawyers are very good.
30:32So is he your guy?
30:33No.
30:34No doubt about it.
30:36Thanks for coming.
30:37My pleasure, Detective Abreu.
30:39But it's still Georgiana.
30:41So you said in your email that you wanted to talk about the Marcus Abernathy case,
30:44but if memory serves, it isn't yours to discuss.
30:47You got me, Georgiana.
30:49Or do you prefer ADA Ballard?
30:51Either will do.
30:52The case is Detective Canty's, but he and I spoke, and he agreed you should hear what my associate has
30:59to tell you.
31:00Why do I recognize that man?
31:03Probably because your office prosecuted him for assault a couple years ago.
31:08So if I'm following, you believe that Marcus Abernathy is innocent.
31:13Mm-hmm.
31:13You think the more likely perpetrator is this man, Remington Aubrey.
31:18Like we said, there's been rumors of bribes in other countries.
31:20Rumors don't tend to mean much in a courtroom.
31:23Look, give us some time to dig up more evidence on Aubrey.
31:26That's all we're asking.
31:27Clem Crayshaw was sending instructions to Marcus over Snapchat.
31:30Somehow that correspondence continued after he was dead.
31:33If we're right, it's because Aubrey took his phone after he killed him.
31:36He's the one who told Marcus to feed the plants that bag of Clem's remains.
31:40If it hadn't have been for the raid, Aubrey would have kept using Marcus until every last bit of Clem
31:44was gone.
31:44Get a subpoena. Search Aubrey's home, search his business, who knows, maybe we find Clem's phone.
31:49There's no point.
31:51How could you look at all this and say there's no point?
31:53Because Marcus Abernathy took a plea deal this morning.
31:56He confessed to everything. He's our killer.
32:01It's all right, guys. I had a long talk with my lawyer.
32:04This way they'd take the death penalty off the table.
32:08No more murder charge. Just...
32:14Aggravated manslaughter. Just 30 years.
32:18But with good behavior, I could be out in 20.
32:21And you know I'm gonna be well-behaved, Mr. Aiken.
32:26You didn't do it, Marcus.
32:28Yeah, I mean, of course I didn't.
32:30But come on, guys. I got a good woman at home.
32:34I got a kid on the way. It's too much to live for.
32:36To take a chance on a trial. Right?
32:41Hey.
32:42I could get him a new lawyer.
32:44Tell him Marcus changed his mind. He wants to plead not guilty.
32:47Well, you can do that, but I won't make the confession go away.
32:50The DA's office will still be able to use it at trial.
32:53Guys. Hey.
32:55I'm right here.
32:59And I told you.
33:00I'm okay.
33:02It's all gonna be okay.
33:06Do you guys know who's taking care of the plants now?
33:09What's that?
33:10They have fly traps.
33:11I was thinking about them yesterday.
33:13Do you know if the police are tending to them, or if...
33:16Uh...
33:16Well, I can...
33:17I can look into that for you.
33:19Yeah.
33:19Just make sure they're not overfeeding the little guys.
33:22I mean, last count, there were 24,338 plants.
33:24That works out to 10.2 pounds of food per feeding, one feeding per week.
33:27Anything more, and you're gonna lose a few.
33:29Okay.
33:32Did you work all that math out yourself?
33:34Yeah.
33:35Huh.
33:36Yeah.
33:37The day Clem told me he was gonna bring me that bag of meat, I had to tell him more
33:41than once.
33:4310.2 pounds, Clem. Nothing more.
33:45And, uh...
33:46Oh, I guess it wasn't actually Clem. It was the other guy.
33:51But, uh...
33:51Still, I mean, he listened.
33:52Next time I weighed the bag, it was...
33:54It was just right.
33:56Did you know the human head weighs eight pounds?
34:00Look.
34:02Jerry Maguire, the cute little kid with glasses of blonde hair.
34:05Remember him?
34:05Uh, yeah.
34:06I didn't see that one.
34:07Hold on, a second.
34:11The average human head actually weighs 11 pounds.
34:14Oh, that's great.
34:15Well, next maybe you can tell us the, uh, airspeed and velocity of an unleaned swallow.
34:19Look.
34:19No, no, no, no, no.
34:20If you add up all of Clem's body parts, head, hands, butt cheeks, biceps, all of his missing parts, it
34:25must weigh what?
34:2620 pounds, more?
34:27Marcus just said the bag that Aubrey left for him weighed exactly 10.2 pounds.
34:31If that was the case, then where's the rest of Clem?
34:36Why hasn't it turned up yet?
34:41Hey.
34:45Hey.
34:46As much fun as it was to meet ADA Ballard today, do you know anyone else that can get us
34:50a warrant to search Remington Aubrey's warehouse?
34:53Why?
34:54Pretty sure I know how we can prove he killed Clem Crayshaw.
35:03Mr. Aubrey.
35:05Detective, I would hate you.
35:06I believe you already met Mr. Decker.
35:08Hello.
35:09I was asked to be here by 9.
35:11It's almost 11.
35:12Is it?
35:13The lack of common courtesy isn't on the list of reasons to defund you people.
35:17It should be.
35:18Uh, well, I'm not a cop.
35:20I'm a PI.
35:21But if it makes you feel any better, I am pretty defunded.
35:24Reason we're late if my colleagues needed a little time to execute a search warrant at your warehouse.
35:31What could the police possibly have been looking for at my warehouse?
35:34Uh, the rest of Clem Crayshaw?
35:37When you were using his phone to pretend to be him, Marcus Abernathy told you that Clem's flat traps could
35:42only take 10.2 pounds of food per feeding.
35:44Problem was, you had at least twice that, didn't you?
35:47Most of Clem was found in his freezer.
35:49A little more was in the bag Marcus was holding when he was arrested.
35:52But some of Clem was still out there.
35:55And the question was where and why?
35:58Part of the why was Marcus' insistence in only feeding the plants 10.2 pounds of meat.
36:03But I think the rest of it had to do with how damn hard it would have been to get
36:06a human head inside of a meat grinder.
36:09Clem was my sole supplier of Venus flytraps.
36:12Why would I kill him?
36:13Why would I hurt my own business?
36:15Probably because he was about to hurt a lot more.
36:17He stole your computer.
36:19And there was something on it that would have proven your company isn't on the level.
36:23So you killed him.
36:28You ever heard of Piranha Solution?
36:31No.
36:31It's basically sulfuric acid on crack.
36:34I learned about this stuff when they did time with a guy that tried to use it to burn through
36:37the top of a safe he was breaking into.
36:39Did he just say he was an ex-convict?
36:41This guy's plan did not work out so well.
36:43All he made to do was start a fire.
36:45See, Piranha Solution can be a little unpredictable when it comes to metal.
36:48But what it's really good at, almost 100% of the time, is turning bone and flesh into soup.
36:55Piranha Solution only has two ingredients.
36:58One, Mr. Decker already mentioned, sulfuric acid.
37:01And the other is hydrogen peroxide.
37:03Yesterday you said you had a barrel of that stuff to clean the floors.
37:06But, see this one here, see this barrel here, see it.
37:08Turn to the wall and you can just make out the SUL.
37:11And that got me thinking, what if it's filled with sulfuric acid?
37:14After you realized you couldn't use Marcus and the flytraps to get rid of a human skull,
37:19you ordered both of these barrels through your company,
37:21you mixed their contents in the sink at your warehouse,
37:23and then in went Mr. Crayshaw's head.
37:31Or was there some other reason you didn't want me taking pictures of it?
37:35These are two partially dissolved teeth CSU found in the sink's drain trap a little while ago.
37:41And this is the bullet for a 9mm pistol.
37:47You're the registered owner of a 9mm pistol, aren't you?
37:59I got your message.
38:02But, if you ask me to come here because you're having second thoughts about us getting together...
38:07I most assuredly am not.
38:11Okay, then why am I here?
38:12Our boy Marcus is about to be released from jail.
38:16Police finally realized he isn't a killer.
38:18You could have just said so in your text.
38:20Hey, hey.
38:22How's my timing?
38:23In the nick of, buddy.
38:25You know this goes on my bill, right?
38:31Anything else?
38:32Uh, yeah.
38:33I'm throwing Marcus a little welcome home party on the beach tonight.
38:38The reason I wanted to tell you in person is,
38:40is I wanted to make sure you weren't there.
38:46Well, last time I checked, this is American, I can go where I want.
38:49It is, and you can.
38:52Actually, it's the other reason why I wanted you to stop by.
39:02My car?
39:07You got it out of impound?
39:09I paid, a friend handled the transport.
39:13You know, the other day, you said you'd rather be living in Nashville.
39:18But you didn't say why.
39:23My sister lives there.
39:25It's not like we're close or anything, but...
39:28she writes me sometimes and makes it sound...
39:33I don't know.
39:35Nice.
39:38Go there.
39:39Try to find nice.
39:41So whatever you're looking for right now,
39:44it ain't here in Fort Lauderdale.
39:46It ain't with Marcus.
39:51All I've been is bad to you.
39:53Why are you being so good to me?
39:56You remind me of someone.
40:01I loved her, and yet...
40:03had someone sent her off to Nashville way back when...
40:08Well...
40:09things would have ended up better for the both of us.
40:37Would you believe this is my first...
40:40glad you're not going to prison?
40:42Well, no one knew who your dad is. No. No, I would not.
40:46What happened to your eye?
40:50This? Misunderstanding.
40:54You want a beer? No.
40:56No? I'm not staying. You're not staying?
40:59Mostly just came to see if we're even now.
41:01You gave me a name. You gave me one name. One name.
41:05Turned out the guy didn't even do it.
41:07What's your obsession with us getting even? What is that?
41:09If we get even too fast, there won't be any reason for me to call you anymore.
41:13No, I mean...
41:15Is that what you want?
41:17Getting too close to a family like mine could earn you a return trip to Appalachia.
41:22Is that what you want?
41:23I don't know what I want.
41:28Not yet.
41:31Well, then for tonight, it's probably best to just celebrate what we've got.
41:36In my case, an 8 o'clock reservation staccato.
41:40You and the other dirtbags have fun.
42:08You and the other dirtbags have fun.
42:09Okay, over here.
42:13Okay.
42:21Go away, procedure.
42:23Or my mission?
42:24I don't know.
