00:13Don't try to eat it through the wrapper.
00:17I'm sorry, what?
00:18The candy bar.
00:19You try to eat it through the wrapper, I owe my friend a hundred bucks.
00:22Why would I try to eat it through the wrapper?
00:24You've been staring at it for ten minutes now.
00:26It's like you're trying to skip the opening it and chewing it parts and just beam it straight to your
00:31stomach.
00:32I'm sorry, have you been watching me for ten minutes?
00:33Me and my friend.
00:34She thinks you're an unhoused individual.
00:37This is Florida.
00:38You can just say crazy homeless guy.
00:39It's okay.
00:40She thinks you're a crazy homeless guy who's going to eat that thing through the wrapper.
00:43But not you.
00:44So, what's the story?
00:45Why are you eye-sexing a candy bar on the steps of the courthouse?
00:50I'm on trial.
00:52A few months back, I got this kid stealing camera equipment out of the trunk of my car.
00:56You're a photographer.
00:58I was.
01:00Commercial?
01:01Fashion?
01:01He was.
01:04Anyway, I caught this kid and I, yeah, I sort of lost it.
01:08You lost it.
01:09I beat him up.
01:10You beat up a kid?
01:10Well, he wasn't a kid.
01:11He was 20 years old.
01:12And as it turns out, the son of a state senator.
01:14It didn't matter that he had 40 pounds on me or that he threw the first punch.
01:17He made up some story about me thinking he was a drug dealer and then attacking him when he wouldn't
01:21sell me meth.
01:24It doesn't explain the candy bar.
01:27Sort of my favorite.
01:29Today could be the last day of my trial, meaning I could be going home in a few hours or...
01:33You could be going to prison.
01:34Or I'm told candy bars are in short supply.
01:36Thing is, I keep...
01:39I keep thinking if I eat it, I'll be jinxing everything.
01:43Well, look, I don't know a lot about prison, but I know a little.
01:48And you're right, candy bars are hard to come by.
01:53But I can think of something in even short supply.
02:18Good night today.
02:22But I got everything, all the good, good, good.
02:30My injury was questioned yet again today by homicide detectives.
02:34The investigation into the murder of this fight is ongoing.
02:37I'm kind of tired of that guy.
02:38You're cruel.
02:39I took a couple closer nights.
02:41You still think it goes to the jury today?
02:42Just one witness left.
02:43The cousin, right?
02:45The one who said she was there that day?
02:46The stepsister.
02:47The stepsister.
02:48And you're sure she wasn't there?
02:50Yeah, no one was there.
02:51Why?
02:52I was going over her statement last night, and it's...
02:54They did get there.
02:55All rise.
02:58Superior Court in the state of Florida.
03:00Robin County, Department 342 is now in session.
03:03Judge Anahue presided.
03:06Mr. Acosta, next witness?
03:08State calls.
03:10Emmy Ochoa, Your Honor.
03:22There's your right hand.
03:24Do you swear the testimony you're about to give is the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth?
03:29I do.
03:33Will you please state your name and relationship to the victim?
03:35Yes, I'm Emmy Ochoa.
03:37Lucas is my stepbrother.
03:40And that's the man who almost killed him.
03:46I don't want you anymore, cause you took my joy.
03:49I don't want you anymore.
03:51You took my joy.
03:52You took my joy.
03:54I want it back.
03:55You took my joy.
03:57I want it back.
03:58I'm gonna go to Westminster and look for my joy.
04:01Go to Westminster and look for my joy.
04:05Maybe you must live for the fun of my joy.
04:06Thank you, Lizzo Channel.
04:07Your excuse.
04:35Go to Westminster and look for my joy.
04:43I want it back.
04:43Oh my God.
04:50Can't get it up.
04:51Can't get it up.
04:52Can't get it up.
04:54Can't get it up.
04:54Can't get it up.
05:02Told you I needed a 2019.
05:04Well, don't give me that.
05:05Different parts, Darius.
05:06You want me to go put it back?
05:08I'll go put it back.
05:09I'll give you half.
05:10Half?
05:12Plus I'll get a slice of that pizza.
05:15I'll get a slice of that pizza.
05:16I'll get a slice of that pizza.
05:16I'll get a slice of that pizza.
05:16Come on, man.
05:19Check this thing.
05:20Talk about it.
05:21Ain't no...
05:35Beautiful dog.
05:36Thanks.
05:37Beautiful.
05:37I swear she is the spitting image of another dog I know.
05:41Friday.
05:43Friday is an emotional support dog.
05:45Her owner, Dylan, he's eight.
05:47He has autism.
05:48Friday helps him, makes him happy.
05:49Or at least she did until someone stole her out of a yard the other day.
05:52You have a nice day, yeah?
05:54Dylan's mom, Amanda.
05:55She put these up all over the place.
05:57Next day, someone emailed her, said, yeah, the dog.
06:00And for 10,000 bucks, she could have her back.
06:02I know what you're thinking.
06:03Ten grand for a dog.
06:04But see, the house this guy stole her from, it was nice.
06:08It was real nice.
06:08One of those great big ones up in Coral Ridge.
06:11Guy didn't know that Amanda was just the housekeeper and that her bosses let her dog play outside while she
06:16works.
06:21So, you're going to arrest me now?
06:23No.
06:24I'm not going to arrest you.
06:25I'm not a cop.
06:25I'm a P.I.
06:26I'm also an ex-con like you.
06:2818 months, Appalachee.
06:29I saw Mary a correctional possession.
06:32I didn't want to take her.
06:34I wasn't even planning it.
06:35It's okay.
06:36It's okay.
06:36Hey, listen.
06:37Take this.
06:39After I bring her home, I want you to call him.
06:41He's a friend of mine.
06:42He helps win jobs for guys like me and you.
06:45Tell him R.J. is saying.
07:03Hey.
07:04T-Bow.
07:05How you doing?
07:06You got a hot one today.
07:07Stay hydrated.
07:13Hey, R.J.
07:14Hey, morning, Freddy.
07:15How you doing?
07:19Jester?
07:20Little humpback?
07:21Tom Petty.
07:22Come here, Tom Petty.
07:24Good.
07:26R.J., I told you.
07:27You got to keep a treat on you.
07:28You give Tom Petty a treat, he'll leave you be.
07:30Or maybe, you know, stop giving him a free run of the entire trailer park.
07:34You ever thought about that?
07:34Hey, you see T-Bow this morning?
07:36His mom was looking for him.
07:37Yeah, he's out by the mailboxes.
07:39He's doing his scary clown thing again.
07:41What is the point?
07:42Well, as mom says, it's an experiment in phenomenology.
07:45Really, I think it's more to do with T-Bow being crazy as hell.
07:49Uh, Chester, I almost forgot.
07:50I signed for a package for you yesterday.
07:52It's in here by the door.
07:53Uh, do you mind bringing that out?
07:55Uh, I'm not comfortable going in there since the, uh, you know, the sinkhole.
08:00Yep.
08:00Uh, okay.
08:01I understand.
08:03So, uh, you talked to management about getting your trailer moved, Kent?
08:07I did.
08:08Twice.
08:09I think their hesitation may have something to do with me being two months behind on a rant.
08:17Florida man tries to chew through handcuffs following the rest.
08:21Now, it is a fascinating read, sir, but I'm afraid there's nothing in here that identifies with this.
08:28The circuit.
08:28Good.
08:29And I can only give you a free drink if you can prove you're the Florida man in the restaurant.
08:33Captain America, we love you.
08:38Known for the wall.
08:42Selly!
08:44Usual?
08:45Uh, it's a little early.
08:47You get that every time you call me Selly, you're announcing to your patrons we're both ex-cons?
08:52Well, if it weren't for ex-cons, RJ, I might not have any patrons.
08:55He's true.
08:57You texted me.
08:57Cut to the chase.
08:58Well, I'm afraid the chase old buddy is Clay Gregory.
09:05Police have confirmed that the woman found dead in the trunk of a car is Rhoda Batista, the high school
09:11teacher who was reported missing yesterday.
09:14The car was involved in a brief chase with police last night.
09:17This morning, it was found abandoned, leading to the discovery of the victim.
09:22This, of course, is eerily reminiscent to the murder of Broward County Herald journalist, Maya Gregory, several years ago.
09:30Just like Rhoda Batista, she was found in the trunk of a car, strangled.
09:36In both cases, the murder weapon was a wire coat hanger.
09:40Maya Gregory's husband, Clay Gregory, was a person of interest at the time, but has never been charged.
09:49You know, it's funny.
09:51A year and a half sharing a six-by-eight space with you, and I still can't read your mind.
09:56I'm thinking it sure would be nice to know where Clay Gregory was last night.
09:59It would, but it's safe to assume Fort Lauderdale's finest are all over that, yeah?
10:06You know, the reason I wanted to hear about this from me is because I know there was a very
10:10straight line between what happened to your reporter friend
10:13and what you did to that kid who broke into your car a few days later.
10:16Wish he wasn't a kid. He was 20 years old.
10:18And he was bigger than you, and he threw the first punch.
10:21Remind me, which one of you ended up at Appalachia with me?
10:25The truth, Sally, is you were carrying too much hurt around, and you unloaded on the first best person came
10:33along.
10:41They're gonna make it the same mistake now, you hear?
10:52The truth is, Sally Harris, considering the wrong...
10:55There's no worries.
11:02There's no way there's no doubt that you've got to go ahead and do that.
11:03The truth is, Mrs. Deus.
11:04The truth is, Larry hearted, and I remember she and Anthony nós would have a turn.
11:05He was sitting there and spent a while ago.
11:07What we're doing is much better.
11:09There, and we have been helpful.
11:10We're looking to find her.
11:10Here's my case first, that's enough.
11:12He's doing more good to your future.
11:14And he said, not to mind to pass her if that's still.
11:15Sometimes this writing can't be.
11:18R.J. Freakin' Decker as I live and breathe.
11:20They let you out already?
11:21No, Bill, I escaped.
11:23Don't tell anyone, okay?
11:24How you doing?
11:25Back at the newspaper?
11:26Matter of fact, Bill, no.
11:27I'm a P.I. now.
11:31You're serious?
11:32It's a dead lady in a car trunk.
11:33You heard what happened and thought Clay Gregory.
11:35Well, to be fair, Bill, they did kill my former colleague, his wife, the exact same way.
11:39You are a dog with a bone, old buddy.
11:41The night Maya died, didn't have an alibi.
11:43Then it comes out he was having an affair, so...
11:45You're leaving out the part about a cigarette butt that was found in the car with his wife's body.
11:49DNA wasn't a match.
11:50Bill, you and I both know he could have picked up any butt from any gutter and put it in
11:54the car to throw out forensics.
11:55Captain Ragsdale, are you aware you're associating with a known felon right now?
11:59Detective Braille, hello, how are you?
12:01Yeah, let me guess, he wants us to put cuffs on Clay Gregory for this.
12:04Well, I mean, it'd be nice if we put cuffs on for something.
12:07Just a reminder, my case, not yours.
12:10And sharing information with a civilian, let alone an ex-con, would be bad.
12:15How is everything at the trailer park?
12:16You making new friends?
12:17Only every single day.
12:23Clay Gregory didn't kill anyone last night.
12:25What do you mean?
12:27He was visiting family in Topeka, flew in this morning.
12:29We have footage of him at both airports.
12:31So if you were hoping this was the murderer we would get him on, think again.
12:43When asked about the still unsolved Maya Gregory case, police did acknowledge the similarities to the murder of Luda Batista.
12:50By all accounts, Clay Gregory is apparently not a person of interest at this.
13:08Decker Investigations.
13:10Hi, is this R.J. Decker?
13:11Yep, it is.
13:12Great.
13:13I'm looking for a private investigator.
13:15I was wondering if you might have some time to speak to me.
13:20Ma'am, I'm sorry.
13:21Bad reception.
13:22Would you mind repeating what you just said?
13:23Ma'am?
13:28Are you there, Mr. Decker?
13:29Yeah, I'm here.
13:30I'm here and I'm very interested in meeting you.
13:32Decker?
13:33Yeah, I'm here.
13:33I can hear you.
13:34Can you hear me?
13:35Ma'am?
13:36Ma'am?
13:38Ma'am?
13:41Ma'am?
13:43What can I say, except it's pretty obvious, there's a serial killer loose in Fort Lauderdale.
13:48And maybe if the police hadn't wasted so many resources on me after he killed Maya, they would have caught
13:54him back then.
14:08This is the first time I'm alive, it's coming to me.
14:19We'll be able to meet you.
14:24We'll be able to meet you.
14:32A sinkhole?
14:33Opened up outside your window three weeks ago and you didn't have to stay with us then?
14:37Hi, Catherine.
14:38Yeah, you're the dumbest ex-husband I ever had.
14:43Palmetto pastures, RJ?
14:44Seriously, that's the best you could do?
14:45Well, the price is right, Kath.
14:47What can I say?
14:48I think it's the money thing you know I don't mind helping.
14:50No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no.
14:51It's temporary.
14:52Just let me stay in here.
14:54I'll be out of your hair in no time.
14:55Let's see.
15:03Great.
15:05It's great.
15:06Roomie.
15:09How'd you her better have to take the news?
15:12She says she wanted to talk to you.
15:14She's in the garage.
15:21You wanted to see me?
15:24One week.
15:26Beg pardon?
15:31You can stay here one week, and then you go.
15:35Mel, if you think I want to stay...
15:36One week, felon.
15:37One week.
15:38Stay with me.
15:41One week.
15:44No, I won't talk to you about Klaeger.
15:46No, no, no, no, no, no, no.
15:47I was going to ask about Sophia.
15:48Oh, yeah.
15:49She's still draining threes like Steph Curry?
15:52Like Sabrina Nilescu.
15:53And asking about my kid isn't going to score you anything.
15:57Just the, uh, the person who called the police about the red BMW the other day.
16:01They interacted with the guy who abandoned it.
16:04Said something, did something.
16:05Am I right?
16:06I just want to know what this, uh...
16:12Maya Gregory was your friend.
16:13I get it.
16:15But this case, it's about Rora Batista.
16:17And it's got enough eyes on it already.
16:20I don't also need some pretend P.I. looking over my shoulder.
16:25Let alone one slopping in my pool house.
16:28You know, I've started to wonder if you don't like me.
16:30Because you're under the impression I might be the close-minded type who'd be embarrassed.
16:34Maybe even angry.
16:36That his ex-wife ended up marrying another woman.
16:39And our mail, it doesn't bother me.
16:42I knew Kath was by from day one.
16:46Well, we even entertained the occasional third party back then.
16:49Okay.
16:50I got work to do.
16:51Trying to get them back to prison today.
16:56I think that's different here.
16:58El cortico.
17:00My Spanish is a little rusty.
17:02You didn't just happen to confess to murdering two women, did you?
17:06Decker, what's it been?
17:08Two years?
17:09Eighteen months for good behavior?
17:10You go to prison one time and suddenly it's all the jokes.
17:14I saw your ex's piece in the Herald this morning.
17:15Oh, yeah?
17:16It was good stuff.
17:17It reminded me of the way Maya used to write,
17:19all gas, no brakes.
17:21Yeah, Maya was something, wasn't she?
17:23Before she died...
17:24Before you killed her.
17:24Before she died, you met me what?
17:26Once?
17:27Maybe twice.
17:29You hardly know me.
17:30So how can you be so sure I killed Maya?
17:33Well, you were cheating on me.
17:34I was getting away with it.
17:35So why kill my wife?
17:38This new murder, the one from a couple of days ago.
17:40A little bit of a sister.
17:40That was her name.
17:41She was a teacher.
17:41She had a mom.
17:42She had three sisters.
17:43Yeah, I'm sure you heard by now.
17:44I was on an airplane when it happened.
17:46I didn't do it.
17:46Oh, no, you didn't.
17:47Then why are you here?
17:49Would I be right in assuming that the insurance policy you had on Maya never paid out?
17:54Of course it didn't.
17:56Because the insurance company, like pretty much everyone else in the state of Florida,
17:59knew you killed her.
18:00This new murder, though, I don't know, maybe it changes things.
18:04Like you said, you were on a plane when it happened.
18:07You think I hired someone?
18:09I told them to commit a murder just like Maya's when I was at 40,000 feet.
18:12Yeah, please start thinking, hey, maybe you didn't kill his wife.
18:15Then the insurance company, suddenly you're what?
18:17Six figures richer?
18:19Seven?
18:20Yeah, it's been fun, but I've got work to do.
18:22Me too, Clay.
18:24Me too.
18:36Decker Investigations.
18:37Hi, I called last night.
18:39We got cut off?
18:40Hi, yes.
18:41Sorry about that.
18:41I would have called you back when your number was blocked.
18:44You're still up for meeting?
18:45Absolutely.
18:46Then how about we do it over a drink?
18:48You name the place.
18:49Oof.
18:49Uh, yeah.
18:50Do you know FM Station?
18:52I'll find it.
18:52See you at seven.
18:53Seven works, but, um, can I...
18:57Didn't get your name.
18:58Again.
19:05Hi, ma'am.
19:07Uh, my name's R.J. Decker.
19:08I'm a private investigator.
19:09I'd like to ask you a few questions about what happened yesterday.
19:15Me?
19:16Why me?
19:16You're the one that called the police, aren't you?
19:19You saw the person who dumped the car.
19:20If I was, I don't think the police would tell you.
19:23I knew it was you from the flower bot.
19:25¿Cómo?
19:26The one you threw at the suspect.
19:27I saw little pieces of it on the ground.
19:31See, most of your neighbors, they like to use their balconies for storage.
19:35You like to grow things.
19:36Yeah, you must have, what, a couple dozen plants out there?
19:39So you saw the guy park, and when he popped the trunk, you saw what he'd done.
19:42That's why you threw the pot out of it.
19:44All I'm looking for is a description.
19:46I even brought you a few pots to replace the ones you broke.
19:51The man was short, maybe 5'2", black.
19:55His back was strong, so I didn't see his face.
19:58Just his terrible hat.
19:59What was so terrible about his hat?
20:01There was a penis on it.
20:03Penis?
20:03Do you say penis?
20:04Worse, an angry penis.
20:06What made you think the penis was angry?
20:07The face, and the two little arms flexed like this, like you wanted to fight.
20:11Like this?
20:12Mm-hmm.
20:14Huh.
20:21Is this what you saw?
20:22Yes, yes.
20:23Yes.
20:24It's not what you think it is.
20:25It's a jumbo shrimp.
20:26Specifically, it's the logo for the Jacksonville jumbo shrimp.
20:29AAA affiliates in the Miami Marlins.
20:31Does that help?
20:40I'd like your hat.
20:43Thanks.
20:47What?
20:47No, it's just I wish I could have seen your face when you found that dead lady in the trunk
20:51of that car.
20:53Here.
20:55Hey, get deep breaths.
20:57Deep breaths.
20:57No need to pull them on.
20:58It is.
20:58Come here.
21:03I didn't hurt that woman, okay?
21:06I'm not a killer.
21:07Well, given she had about six inches and 20 pounds on you, I tend to agree.
21:10The thing is, Darius, you are a car thief.
21:12And you did steal that beamer.
21:14You just didn't know the first person who drove or left the body behind.
21:17Who are you, Ben?
21:20What is this?
21:21Me?
21:21I'm a PI.
21:22Yeah.
21:22As such, I do the occasional job for an insurance company.
21:25That company insures cars, and so they keep pretty meticulous records when it comes to car thieves.
21:30So I'm on a list?
21:31Yeah, you're on a list.
21:32This is how I found you.
21:33Someone saw the logo on your hat.
21:34So I checked the list for car thieves originally from Jacksonville, and bam, there you were.
21:40Pinched last year for joyriding in someone else's Lambo.
21:43I'm a miner.
21:45All that stuff is supposed to be seen.
21:47Yeah, well, hey, insurance companies, what can I say?
21:49I tried to do for a thing, okay?
21:51I left the car trunk open so somebody would see the lady, and the police would arrest the person who
21:57owns the car.
21:58Well, the person who owns the car has an alibi described by Channel 7 as ironclad, not to mention zero
22:03connection to the victim.
22:04That's why I think the car was actually stolen twice the other night, first by the killer and then by
22:09you.
22:10And what I don't know, what nobody knows except for you and him, is where the car was abandoned first.
22:15Where did he leave it before you stole it?
22:22Perfect.
22:24Hey, hey.
22:26Uncle RJ, we're making a walk out of Vieja.
22:28Want to help?
22:29Uh, actually, kiddo, I need a quick word with your mom, and then I have to go meet a client.
22:33You need to bring a gun?
22:34No, sweetie, I don't even own a gun.
22:36That's because you can't own a gun.
22:37Can we just, uh, please?
22:40So this guy stole the car first, dumped it in the lot, and then the kid you found stole it
22:45a second time.
22:46Yes, he's the one who ended up in a car chase with police, but this guy, Popeye Cavs, he's the
22:51one that killed Roto Batista.
22:52On orders from Clay Gregory.
22:54In order to clear his name, make a play for my life insurance money, or both.
22:59All I could get tonight was video from a hardware store, but you can't miss the area.
23:03Maybe you find video from a different business.
23:05Give us Popeye's face, we find him, he gives us Clay.
23:12Hey.
23:15Were you sleeping with Maya Gregory?
23:18I'm asking you as a wife, not a cop.
23:21If it's something that's gonna come out, I'd rather know now.
23:24No, I wasn't sleeping with Maya Gregory.
23:27Truth is, I didn't even know her that well.
23:30She died.
23:31This person, you didn't know very well.
23:33And it was, what, one week later, you lose it on some kid who breaks into your car?
23:40A few years back, I'm still working at the Herald.
23:43City desk sends me on to what they figured was a routine drug homicide.
23:47Someone smelled something awful coming from the trunk of a car, called the cops.
23:51I show up just as they're drilling the locks.
23:53Trunk pops open.
23:56I'm expecting the usual, gangbanger, no ID, multiple gunshot wounds.
24:01Not a woman with a hanger wrapped around her neck, and not someone I knew.
24:06Can you guess what I did?
24:08Took a picture.
24:13I'm thinking, hey, it's Maya, it's Maya from work.
24:16But I just keep bracketing the shots, changing the angles to get more of her hair, but not the face,
24:20not the face.
24:21No, the papers won't print faces of the dead.
24:23That's policy.
24:24You're doing your job.
24:25Shoot everything, that's what they expect.
24:28Nine times out of ten, they'll only use your most vanilla pick.
24:32The one that tells the story, but won't upset.
24:35The thing is, the photographer, yeah, he remembers all of them.
24:41The next day I quit, I'd had enough, but then it comes out that Clay's having an affair, and I
24:47don't know, I started following him, I started taking his picture.
24:51I didn't catch him in the act of anything, but when I looked at him through my lens, I swear
24:59I could see him.
25:00I could see who he really was.
25:04And my cameras, all of a sudden, they were my eyes again.
25:07And they were going to help me do something good.
25:09And then stupid Lucas Ochoa broke into your car and tried to take them from you.
25:16This new career you picked, it's hard not to notice you're still taking pictures.
25:21It's cheating spouses.
25:23Guys faking injury to collect on disability.
25:25For now.
25:27But you stick with it.
25:29And you and I both know you're going to start seeing the ugly stuff again.
25:34Bella, stick with it.
25:35Maybe some of the ugly stuff doesn't happen.
25:47Is she here?
25:48Is she at our finest table?
25:50Okay.
25:55Let me guess.
25:57You're still mad about the candy bar?
26:09Did you not hear me say I'm sorry?
26:12Did you not hear me say what you can do with your apologies?
26:14I did.
26:15I assume it's an expression you learn in prison.
26:17Do you think this is funny?
26:19Do you think lying about what happened between me and your stepbrother getting me shipped off to Appalachee for a
26:23year and a half is some kind of a joke?
26:25No, but you mess with one Ochoa, you mess with every Ochoa.
26:28All right, the Ochoas.
26:29Fort Lauderdale's answered the freaking Borgias.
26:31How's your dad, by the way?
26:32Is he going to run for governor?
26:33Or would that put too many eyes on him?
26:34Make it too hard for him to accept all those bribes.
26:36Thanks, Senator Ochoa.
26:38It's very well.
26:38You know, after that day in court, I looked you up.
26:40I saw you were one of his special consultants.
26:42I'm curious.
26:42Did you tell him how you consulted me right before you testified?
26:44Because, wow, special would be putting up mildly.
26:47I thought you were going to consult my damn legs off.
26:49Can we please talk about why I called?
26:51If you think I'm on a chopper, you're out of your mind.
26:53There is no job.
26:54There was just me wanting to say I'm sorry.
26:57I thought I should do it face to face.
26:59But I knew if I didn't pretend to have work for you, you wouldn't come.
27:03Are you saying you lied so you could apologize for lying?
27:06Tell me I pulled you away from something.
27:07You heard about the teacher they found in the truck of the car the other day?
27:10I am this close to proving it was a murder for hire with a bill voted by Clay Gregory.
27:15What?
27:16Clay Gregory is like a Teflon Scott Peterson.
27:19He's this town's whitest white whale, and you're going to...
27:23You.
27:25Tell your dad I said hi.
27:41Hey, what's up?
27:42Hey, where are you?
27:44Trailer.
27:44The one in the crater?
27:45Yeah, the other day I told Mel about all the surveillance pics I took of Clay Gregory after Maya died.
27:51I figured I'd go through and we can't see if I missed anything.
27:54And?
27:55I'm pretty sure his hairline's starting to recede.
27:57Well, I'm heading to a press conference.
27:59It's supposed to be an update on Rhoda Batista, but since I'm sleeping with a lead detective, I already got
28:03the scoop.
28:04The footage that you found looked more footage from a different business that showed the guy in the hoodie.
28:09Pop, I guess.
28:10What?
28:11Uh, nothing.
28:12Continue.
28:12I showed him getting into a silver sedan and driving away.
28:15Bad news is the camera is too far away to give a good look at his face or his license
28:18plate.
28:19Progress is progress.
28:20Go home, okay?
28:20I didn't think that trailer was safe before the sinkhole.
28:28Hey, Tebow, how you doing, man?
28:30Moving on from the clown thing.
28:31Good for you.
28:32Sort of five years ago.
28:37Tebow?
28:40Tebow.
28:53Tebow.
28:55Tebow.
29:21Don't bet he just saved my life.
29:26Park's clear. No sign of the guy who shot at you.
29:29Yeah, it was Popeye, Cass.
29:30I didn't need to. I paid Clay a visit.
29:33I told him I knew he hired someone to commit a murder
29:35that looked just like Maya's.
29:36Obviously, he called Popeye, told him I had to go, but this is good.
29:39Clay's getting sloppy. Not only did Popeye fail to kill me...
29:42No, he left blood evidence, his gun, and God knows what else behind him.
29:45Any of it gives us a name. Clay's as good as God.
29:54I told R.J. he was welcome to still stay with us,
29:56but he wouldn't hear it.
29:57Someone tried to kill him tonight,
29:59and your doorstep is the last place you'd want to bring that much danger.
30:03And your doorstep's okay?
30:05You know me and R.J.'s story, don't you?
30:07You're his own mates at Appalachee.
30:10Okay.
30:11Is that all he told you?
30:15Now,
30:18when your ex and I met,
30:20I was doing a stretch for holding up a convenience store in Coral.
30:23But the thing is,
30:25I was innocent.
30:27Common refrain around Appalachee, mind you.
30:29I'm innocent.
30:31And yet, in my case,
30:33it was God's honest truth.
30:37R.J. was the only one who believed me.
30:39He wasn't a P.I. yet,
30:41but he got himself a contraband phone
30:42and started looking into it.
30:44Made some calls,
30:46sent some emails,
30:47took away at the state's case,
30:48and finally,
30:49he was able to prove
30:51the robbery was the work of someone else
30:53and the perpetrator
30:54just happened to leave the scene
30:56in a vehicle that looked remarkably like mine.
30:58They only arrested you
30:59because you had the same kind of car?
31:01Well, that and I also robbed other convenience stores in the past.
31:05Point is,
31:05I was exonerated.
31:08But,
31:09because the gears of justice grind slowly,
31:12it amounted to me being released
31:14just one day earlier than I would have.
31:17So R.J. didn't really change much after all?
31:20He changed everything.
31:24Because the very first thing I did was
31:26I bought a scratcher.
31:27And that scratcher paid out a million bucks.
31:31And that million bucks
31:33bought me this bar.
31:36Just,
31:39who knows what comes of me.
31:52Uncle R.J.?
31:53Mm-hmm.
31:53Do you have any pencils in here?
31:54I have to do my homework.
31:56I was picking up from school when you called.
31:58What do you got?
31:59Remember how I told you
32:00I spent some time following Clay
32:01after Maya was killed?
32:02Well, last night before Popeye Cav showed up,
32:04I was going over some of my old photos
32:06and I remembered this guy.
32:09Why do I recognize him?
32:11Probably because you've driven behind a city bus
32:13sometime in the last 15 years.
32:15That's where he does most of his advertising.
32:17Ah, sleazy plastic surging guy.
32:19Yeah, with a name that sounds made up.
32:20Yep.
32:21Dr. Adrian Noble.
32:22That's his practice over there.
32:23Turns out,
32:24Adrian Noble was not his real name.
32:26It's actually Cecil Gregory.
32:28As in Clay Gregory.
32:29They're related?
32:30Cousins.
32:31Get this,
32:31back in 2020,
32:32old Cecil tried opening a second office in Miami.
32:34It did not go well.
32:36He was losing money hand over fist.
32:37Or at least he was
32:38until an electrical fire broke out
32:40and the whole place burned down.
32:41He walked away with a seven-figure insurance payout.
32:44Electrical fire.
32:45In Clay's a commercial electrician.
32:47If you were a total sleaze
32:48and your cousin helped you
32:49book an insurance company
32:50out of a million bucks,
32:51what wouldn't you do for him?
32:52Okay, so you think Adrian Noble
32:54isn't just Cecil Gregory.
32:55He's Popeye Cavs, too.
32:56All we have to do
32:57is look for Tom Petty's bite marks
32:58on his legs.
33:00Wait, guy,
33:00who's saying straight fall and bit someone?
33:02No, sweetie.
33:02Tom Petty's a dog now.
33:06That's him?
33:07There's a hole in your plan.
33:08He's wearing long pants.
33:14Hey,
33:15the show's over there.
33:20Hey, brother.
33:21You got the time?
33:22Yeah, it's, uh,
33:23it's 3.30.
33:26Oh, my God.
33:30No bite marks.
33:32No underwear, either.
33:33Yeah, he's not our guy.
33:34No, because odds are
33:36our guy's already in custody.
33:38My captain said there was
33:39a break in a veterinary clinic
33:40this morning.
33:41Silent alarm got tripped.
33:43A couple patrolmen responded.
33:45Caught the perp trying to sew up
33:46some wounds on his leg.
33:48He claimed Cooper from trying
33:49to climb over a barbed-wired fence.
33:51They took him to the hospital.
33:53Doctor who treated him
33:53said they were.
33:54Bites from a dog.
33:55There's a team searching
33:56his residence.
33:572018 East Bishop.
33:58Are we going to a crime scene now?
34:01You're going home.
34:02But,
34:04if your Uncle RJ promises
34:05no one else
34:06will lose their pants today,
34:08maybe he can meet me.
34:10Let's see if you know.
34:11Uncle RJ.
34:17So what's this?
34:18Bring your ex-con to work day?
34:20Captain said our guy's name
34:21is Wade Ennis.
34:22Two N's.
34:23That's him over there.
34:25Well,
34:26something you should see.
34:47What's with the wheelchair?
34:49What's with any of this stuff?
34:51This is what I want to show you.
34:53Cigarettes?
34:54Same weird brand
34:55as a cigarette butt
34:56found in Maya Gregory's car
34:57a few years ago.
34:58The one with the DNA
34:58that was not a match for Clay.
35:00So you think Clay
35:01never actually laid hands on Maya?
35:03He hired this guy
35:04for her murder
35:04and the one from the other night.
35:06That's one possibility.
35:07Detective Braxdale.
35:11Sorry, what?
35:12Look,
35:13I know what you think you saw
35:15when you were following Clay
35:16a few years back.
35:18And yet there's evidence
35:18here to support
35:19what he's been saying
35:20the last few days,
35:21which is that his wife
35:22and Rora Batista
35:23were both killed
35:24by a serial killer.
35:25Talk to the Xenis guy.
35:26Talk to him.
35:27Tell him there's a deal
35:28if he serves up Clay.
35:29Watch how fast he flips.
35:33Never seen him before in my life.
35:35Wade.
35:35How many times I gotta tell you?
35:36I don't know no Clay Gregory.
35:38I'm a serial killer.
35:40I'm a slave
35:41to my deviant passions.
35:43You realize
35:44you're looking at
35:45the death penalty, yes?
35:46You seen them
35:47like true crime documentaries
35:48by guys like me.
35:50We get like
35:51special treatment
35:52in prison.
35:53Hell,
35:54I think there might be
35:55visits to the conjugal strike.
35:57If you're just
35:58a serial killer,
36:00why'd you go after
36:01Mr. Decker last night?
36:02How'd you even know
36:03about him
36:03if it wasn't
36:04for Clay Gregory?
36:05I'm a riddle
36:06wrapped in a mystery.
36:07You're a moron
36:08wrapped in stupid.
36:09You should take it
36:10from someone
36:11that's actually been to prison.
36:12Guys like the one
36:13you're pretending to be,
36:14they don't do so well.
36:16You think the state's
36:17gonna be the one
36:18to put you down?
36:19Nah,
36:19it'll be some guy
36:20named Red
36:20or Leon
36:22or Bubba
36:22and they're gonna be
36:23twice your size
36:24and half smart
36:25and when they do it,
36:26Wade,
36:26it'll be ugly.
36:27It'll hurt.
36:29So do yourself a favor
36:31and give us the guy
36:32that put you up to all this.
36:34Give us Clay Gregory.
36:37I do not know
36:38Clay Gregory.
36:39I do not know him
36:40here or there.
36:42I do not know him
36:43anywhere.
36:45Whoever he is,
36:47Slim,
36:48whatever it is
36:48you think he did,
36:50I'm sorry,
36:51but I'm afraid
36:53he's gonna get away
36:54with it.
37:07I heard on the news
37:09someone confessed
37:09to killing those two women.
37:10and congrats.
37:15You still think
37:16Clay Gregory hired him
37:17to do it.
37:18His name is Wade Ennis
37:19and I think
37:20because he knows
37:21he's going to prison
37:21no matter what,
37:23he might as well
37:24take all the credit
37:25and go on his Florida's answer
37:26to Hannibal Lecter.
37:30You're here to offer me
37:31another pretend job?
37:32I have this acquaintance,
37:35someone I may or may not know
37:37through my father,
37:38someone who may or may not
37:39be his specialist
37:40in, oh,
37:41let's just call it
37:41cyber security.
37:42The most crooked politician
37:44in the state of Florida
37:45has his own hacker?
37:46Let me show you
37:47I'm not surprised at him.
37:48The point is
37:48I may have asked him
37:49to dox Wade Ennis
37:50and so this
37:51may be a hard drive
37:53filled with everything
37:54Wade's done online
37:55over the last couple of years.
37:57Emails,
37:57credit card statements,
37:59eBay transactions,
38:00stuff the police
38:01won't be able
38:01to get their hands on
38:02for days.
38:03Figured,
38:04dive in together,
38:05maybe we find something
38:06that connects him
38:06to Clay Gregory.
38:14The other night
38:15when I tried to apologize
38:16for what I said
38:17at your trial,
38:18you didn't want to hear it.
38:20I was hoping
38:21you might let me try
38:22one more time.
38:23If you think I don't know,
38:24it was under orders
38:25from your father.
38:26It was.
38:27But if I hadn't lied
38:28to protect Lucas,
38:29there would have been
38:30consequences.
38:31But it was still wrong.
38:33And
38:35I'm sorry.
38:36What about everything
38:37that happened
38:38before you testified?
38:39Sorry to imagine
38:40that was on dad's orders.
38:41I knew where you were
38:42heading in a few hours.
38:44You didn't.
38:45Some guilty conscience?
38:46Guilty conscience.
38:47Nothing more.
38:48Is it?
38:51If you ever decide
38:52to follow in your dad's footsteps,
38:53you're gonna make
38:54one hell of a politician.
38:55Oh, what makes you say that?
38:56Because I can tell
38:57when you're lying.
38:58I just don't mind it.
39:11What?
39:13When I was at Wade's house today,
39:14I noticed he was using
39:15a wheelchair
39:16like a piece of furniture.
39:17I figured it was something
39:18he stole off someone's curb.
39:19But according to this,
39:20he bought a brand new.
39:21So?
39:23So it was the same
39:24that Maya was killed.
39:25Okay, so maybe
39:26she fought back,
39:28stabbed him in the leg
39:29or something,
39:29and he needed
39:30the wheelchair
39:30to get around.
39:31No, he bought
39:32the wheelchair
39:32a few days before.
39:33A few days after,
39:34he started grub-hubbing
39:35every meal,
39:35breakfast, lunch, and dinner.
39:36That went on
39:36for two weeks straight.
39:37So after Maya dies,
39:41he's hurt
39:41and he's housebound,
39:42but he had to know
39:43he'd be hurt
39:43or why else
39:44buy the wheelchair?
39:46A little while ago,
39:46you said you were
39:47looking at receipts
39:48from Wade's pharmacy.
39:49Can you pull him up
39:50again, please?
39:51Yeah.
39:53Yeah, around the time
39:54we're talking about
39:55someone prescribing
39:56antibiotics,
39:56it just doesn't say who.
39:58Is there a name
39:59you're looking for?
40:00It's more like one
40:00I'm expecting to see.
40:04About a year
40:04and a half ago,
40:05I sprained my ankle.
40:07A year before that
40:07was the first time
40:08I had COVID.
40:09Okay.
40:09Both times,
40:10I was prescribed medication.
40:12Both times,
40:13I kept what I didn't use
40:14in case I needed it again.
40:16The point is,
40:17my doctor's name
40:17is right there
40:18on the bottles.
40:26Locked.
40:27Of course it is.
40:29Okay, look,
40:29just because I kept
40:30my old prescription bottles.
40:32Psycho killer wouldn't.
40:38Great.
40:40Just great.
40:46You fighting today, Clay?
40:48Great night, Deck.
40:49This time of year,
40:50the best fishing's off a boat.
40:51Now that Maya's life insurance
40:53is paying out,
40:53I think I may get one.
40:55Or didn't you hear
40:56they finally got the guy
40:57who killed her?
40:59Yeah, I think you mean
41:00the guy you paid
41:01to kill her.
41:02Detective.
41:04Seriously.
41:05Back then,
41:06how many times
41:07did you people
41:07go through my finances?
41:08Did you ever find
41:09a penny out of place?
41:10We didn't.
41:12But turns out
41:12that's only because
41:13Wade Ennis
41:14wasn't paid with money.
41:15I don't think you
41:16could have gotten into bed
41:17with a dumber killer
41:18for hire.
41:19I mean,
41:19Wade was supposed
41:20to kill Maya
41:20on a Wednesday,
41:21but he went ahead
41:22and did it on a Tuesday,
41:23which wouldn't have been
41:23a problem,
41:24except Wednesday was the night
41:25you were planning
41:25unhappening an alibi.
41:26But then again,
41:27Wade's stupid,
41:28he cut both ways.
41:29He left a cigarette butt
41:30in Maya's car
41:31and that led to DNA,
41:32which was undeniably
41:33not yours.
41:34Before we knew
41:34Wade's name,
41:35I was calling him
41:35Popeye Cavs.
41:36His swole lower legs,
41:38after all,
41:38were his most
41:39identifying feature.
41:40Turns out,
41:41they were not the result
41:41of hard work
41:42in the poor Maya.
41:43You wanted to hire
41:43someone to kill her.
41:44You asked for references
41:45from not just
41:46the sleaziest person
41:47you knew,
41:48but a sleazy person
41:49who owed you,
41:50your cousin Cecil.
41:52It didn't take him long
41:53to think of a guy
41:54named Wade
41:54who wanted calf implants
41:55but couldn't pay for them.
41:58Wade took the job
41:59because what's won life
42:00against shapelier
42:01or more contoured calves?
42:03He bought himself
42:04a wheelchair
42:05for after the surgery,
42:06then he went and did the deed.
42:08I don't know,
42:08Jack.
42:09It's hard to imagine
42:10there's any record
42:11of my cousin
42:12performing that surgery.
42:14No, there isn't.
42:15But there is a record
42:16of him prescribing
42:17antibiotics to him.
42:23It seems the surgery
42:24wasn't done
42:24under the best conditions
42:25and Wade got a bad infection.
42:27How do I know all this?
42:29Because old Cecil
42:30already copped all of it.
42:32He's under arrest,
42:33Mr. Gregory.
42:34And now,
42:35so are you.
42:41You end up at Ivalanche,
42:42you count on me
42:43asking some old friends
42:43to say hello.
42:44Let's go.
43:03I still don't get
43:04why you won't let me
43:05write about what happened.
43:06Kath, I guess you hadn't noticed
43:07everyone is writing
43:08about what happened.
43:09No, they're writing
43:09about Clay Gregory
43:10getting arrested.
43:11They don't know
43:11that you were
43:12the driving force.
43:13No offense, sweetie.
43:14Well, my story,
43:15as you know,
43:15is complicated.
43:17So you went to prison.
43:18So what?
43:19This is Florida.
43:19Going to prison
43:20is like a rite of passage.
43:21Plus, you're trying
43:22to get a business
43:22off the ground.
43:23You think people
43:23aren't going to want
43:24to hire the P.I.
43:25who brought down Clay Gregory?
43:27Well, think about it.
43:28Meantime,
43:28since Mel here
43:29has decided
43:30I can stay
43:30in your pool house
43:31indefinitely.
43:31Uh, mm,
43:32I said you don't have
43:34to rush
43:34to find a place.
43:35I suggest you
43:36give her all the glory.
43:43Hey.
43:44I just wanted
43:45to say congrats
43:46on getting your guy.
43:47Huh.
43:50This is the part
43:51where you say,
43:52hey, thanks for
43:52doxing that maniac
43:53he hired.
43:54Now we're even.
43:55Even?
43:56Do you think
43:57helping me out
43:57one time
43:58makes up for
43:5818 months in prison?
43:59I mean,
43:59it was like
44:00a pretty big help.
44:01It was a start.
44:02I'll let you know
44:03when we're even.
44:04What's up, Arch?
44:05Dewey.
44:08Ugh,
44:08you and this place,
44:09you were made
44:10for each other.
44:10What do you mean,
44:11the bar?
44:11Florida.
44:12Weirdest state
44:13in the union.
44:15None of it
44:16ever fazes you,
44:17huh?
44:18You treat everyone
44:19exactly the same.
44:21There's some other way.
44:25Oh,
44:26I forgot.
44:28I forgot.
