00:01Previously on RJ Decker.
00:02What are you wearing?
00:03Excuse me.
00:04Change your shirt and meet me at the address I'm about to send you.
00:06Who needs you to change your shirt?
00:08Wish.
00:09Yeah, you might have a new client for me.
00:11Welcome to the humble abode of the Carter family.
00:13That's Holden, I think he may have relaxed.
00:15RJ, Holden has been found.
00:17Holden was about to blow the whistle.
00:19He was willing to go up against his own boss.
00:21Holden wasn't supposed to die.
00:23The plan was only to discredit him.
00:26I still think it was me.
00:27It was not you.
00:35Of course I'll have to notify the police.
00:38This is a case for homicide.
00:41Homicide?
00:41I don't think you fully understand, Bigelow.
00:45You've been murdered.
00:46RJ, is that you?
00:48Yeah.
00:49Are you alone?
00:51Yes, very.
00:53Aw, no love connection?
00:55No, it wasn't her type.
00:56Dude, you're everybody's type.
01:01Maybe you could have worn a nicer shirt.
01:03Yeah, or my prison blues.
01:06I thought my criminal record might be a deal breaker,
01:09but it turns out she asked Mauricio to set us up because she only dates felons.
01:13Creepy.
01:14Yeah.
01:15But doesn't that make you her type?
01:17Apparently I'm not felonious enough.
01:19She likes to repeat offenders.
01:23Okay.
01:24Maybe when it comes to matchmakers, we can do better than our old pals from Apalachee.
01:30Sorry, what?
01:31Who's we?
01:32The algorithms for the dating apps are like insano.
01:34I can help you poke around online tomorrow and try to find the right one.
01:37Algorithms?
01:38I think I'd rather go back to prison.
01:40And why are you so determined to fix me up all of a sudden?
01:44I'm just trying to help you make better choices, that's all.
01:48Better than what?
01:49I saw you having drinks with Emi Ochoa at FM station and you looked friendly.
01:55That's not what you think.
01:56We were married.
01:57Okay, I know what you look like when you want to have sex.
02:00Emi Ochoa and I are not sleeping together.
02:02And if we're not, she feels bad about what happened.
02:04She wants to make up for it.
02:06And how exactly does one make up for perjuring oneself and sending an innocent person to prison?
02:10She brought me a case last week.
02:11It worked out.
02:12We went out for a drink to celebrate.
02:13That's it.
02:14I'm fine.
02:15Everything's fine.
02:16Okay?
02:18So if you'll excuse me, I have an early meeting with a client tomorrow.
02:22I'm not going to sleep with him either.
02:28Okay, here's Louise on her way to yoga.
02:32Playing mahjong at the club.
02:36Buying groceries.
02:37Bob.
02:40As much as I'd like to keep taking your money.
02:42I've been following your wife for a week.
02:44I have seen nothing that tells me she's cheating on you.
02:47Look at Louise.
02:49Now look at me.
02:50She is at least a nine.
02:52I am a five.
02:54And that's why my psoriasis isn't acting up.
02:56I should have known better than to think that I could keep her happy.
02:59Are you sure this whole affair thing isn't just all in your head?
03:02I mean, are you sure?
03:04Do you see these earrings?
03:06Yeah.
03:06I didn't buy those for her.
03:08I checked her credit card receipts.
03:10She didn't buy them for herself.
03:11And when I asked her about it, she said that they were gifts from her mother.
03:15But I know that she's lying.
03:21I love her, Mr. Decker, so much.
03:24And I need to know what's going on.
03:26Because if I know what's going on, maybe I can fix it.
03:30Maybe I can make her love me again.
03:46I'm playing diamonds, cash and chicks.
03:51Putting fancy things around my neck.
03:55And I'd give her one hell of a neck.
04:00I'm playing diamonds, cash and chicks.
04:07Another dollar, another day.
04:12Senoritas and Saint Tropez.
04:16Pouring chili on my Frito-Lays.
04:20No, ma'am, I ain't on no holiday.
04:26Playing diamonds, cash and chicks.
04:30Putting fancy things around my neck.
04:35And I'd give her one hell of a neck.
04:39I'm playing diamonds, cash and chicks.
04:45It's just a four to the one to the five.
04:51Again and again till you get just right.
04:55It might take all day and all through the night.
05:00But even then, babe, you ain't qualified.
05:05I'm playing diamonds, cash and chicks.
05:09And I ain't hired for my intellect.
05:14I'm just out here paying my respects.
05:19To the T-bombs and the T-birds and even T-rex.
05:24I'm playing diamonds, cash and chicks.
05:30Four to the one to the five.
05:33Again and again till we get it right.
05:39It's just the four to the one to the five.
05:44Again and again till we get it right.
05:49It's just the four to the five.
05:51Hey, Bob.
05:52I've been thinking.
05:52Maybe you're right.
05:53Maybe the affair is all in my head.
05:55Bob, do you want to think about a storage locker on 19th Street?
06:00No.
06:00Why?
06:01Did Louise go to a storage locker?
06:02Is that where you are now?
06:04No, I'm in front of a house on Palmetto.
06:06She just went inside.
06:07Does it have a fountain in front with pink flamingos?
06:09Yeah, it does.
06:11Son of a...
06:11That's the Howard's house.
06:13She must be there to meet Preston.
06:14Okay, who's Preston?
06:15We know him and his wife from the club.
06:17He and Louise both played in the pickleball tournament.
06:19Bob, listen to me.
06:21Everything's gonna be okay.
06:22Deep breaths.
06:23And repeat after me, okay?
06:25Everything...
06:26Everything.
06:27Is gonna be...
06:32Mr. Decker, are you there?
06:35Mr. Decker, are you there?
06:50Fire Marshal says it's looking like an accident.
06:53There's a gas leak somewhere inside, then a spark.
06:55Happens sometimes in these old houses that haven't converted to electric.
06:58What about bodies?
06:59One.
07:00Hadley Burns had no ID yet.
07:01It's gotta be my client's wife.
07:03I saw her go inside right before it happened.
07:06Respectfully, a homicide detective.
07:07Not a tragic accident, detective.
07:09Yeah, I get it then.
07:10Unless you're thinking the Fire Marshal has it wrong.
07:13My client was convinced his wife was having an affair.
07:16Maybe with the guy that lives in this house.
07:1830 seconds after she went inside, the place goes up in smoke.
07:22What?
07:23What?
07:23You think what?
07:24He rigged the house, waited for you to confirm she was here, and then...
07:27What's possible?
07:28I mean, he eyes up until now seem like nothing but a nice guy.
07:30But who knows?
07:34No, no, no, no, no!
07:37Sir, you have to stay back.
07:39This is my house, please.
07:39Sir.
07:40I need to find my wife.
07:41Sir.
07:41Her name is Natalie.
07:42Detective Melabreu, are you Preston Howard?
07:44Yes.
07:45I've been trying to reach my wife, and I can't be so much.
07:47She wasn't in there.
07:48Mr. Howard, there was one fatality, but we have reason to believe it was someone other
07:52than your wife.
07:53You're saying somebody other than Natalie?
07:54Mr. Howard, do you know Louise Vernon?
07:58Yeah, but we go to the same country club.
08:01You're saying she was inside my house?
08:03Did she do this?
08:04Didn't he say she was coming here to me to you today?
08:07Me?
08:09Well, why?
08:10Why would she?
08:11Why isn't anybody trying to find my wife?
08:13Mr. Howard, but first, I know the fire marshal has some questions about your house.
08:19I can't believe it.
08:20I can't believe that Louise is gone.
08:22Like I said, the person who died, the body, it hasn't been identified yet.
08:27You said you saw her go inside.
08:29Who else could it be?
08:31Mr. Vernon, have you ever been inside the Howard's house?
08:34Uh, they hosted a holiday cocktail thing a few years ago.
08:39Why?
08:40You called Mr. Decker this morning.
08:42He told you he saw Louise go inside.
08:45Then...
08:49You...
08:50You think that I blew it up somehow?
08:53Are you insane?
08:54You did hire a PI because you thought your wife was cheating on you.
08:57I...
08:58I told you how much I loved her.
09:00I told you I wanted to fix things.
09:02I know.
09:03I know.
09:04Please, just go.
09:09Thoughts?
09:11My gut says he didn't do it.
09:13And yet?
09:14Yeah, jealous husband, dead wife.
09:16I know.
09:16Two and two almost always equal four.
09:18And yet, the fire marshal's preliminary take was the explosion was accidental.
09:23And yet, Louise was up to something this morning.
09:25The car rental, the wig, the storage locker...
09:27I repeat, two plus two almost always equal four.
09:30Look, she was having an affair.
09:31She changed her car in her appearance to visit a neighborhood where she could have been recognized.
09:35Her death?
09:35Act of God, not act of Bob.
09:38Okay.
09:39Look, something's up at the storage locker.
09:41It was big.
09:41It's way too big for a wig and a change of clothes.
09:44I'm gonna check it out.
09:44Okay, you find something that tells you that the explosion wasn't an accident, you let me know.
09:48Meantime, I'm gonna go focus on crimes.
09:50I know we're murders.
10:01Gotcha.
10:02Let's go.
10:14Let's go.

11:39black market i recognized that from a bulletin one of those companies emailed me and if i had to

17:59we told preston he could stay with us as long as he needs i can't even imagine losing your home
18:05and
18:05your wife all in an instant grant's been out there with him all morning but it's so hard
18:10neither of us knows what to say you've known the howards a long time god 15 years
18:17i know it's none of my business but if you're here to confirm the stove was the source of the
18:21leak be
18:21gentle he told us he's been meaning to replace that old gas range for years actually miss summers we're
18:26here to tell him that that old gas stove wasn't the cause of natalie's death oh my god well he'll
18:32be
18:32he'll be so relieved i'm not so sure he will you're saying what happened to natalie wasn't an accident
18:41you're saying that she was murdered emmy believes that based off the skull fracture the weapon was
18:46something heavy and rounded like a pipe killer only set the explosion to cover their tracks
18:53you asked me about louise vernon yesterday it sounded like she had been by the house yeah because she had
18:58but as it turns out she wasn't there to hurt anyone she was there to rob the place i'm not
19:02sure the
19:03flpd was ready to share that particular detail but yes it's true we like louise vernon for a series
19:10of robberies in this part of town hold on we were robbed last year yeah so were two other houses
19:15on
19:16this street are you saying that she was the one who probably but but it's not what we're here for
19:20and we were able to prove louise didn't kill natalie so mr howard can you think of anybody else who
19:25may
19:26have wanted to hurt her no one i mean natalie was a saint i mean things were good with you
19:33guys
19:34what do you mean your marriage no bumps in the road nothing like that
19:41you think that i killed my wife just routine questions mr howard the hell they are
19:46you don't say another word not without an attorney okay all we're trying to do is eliminate mr
19:50howard howard as a suspect yeah well sorry you're not going to do that here
19:57that grant's a real charmer huh yeah humble too
20:02it's a conspicuous inconspicuous consumption doesn't it detective abrayu
20:07so sorry i i didn't want to say anything in front of preston but
20:11there was some trouble in their marriage not that i think he would ever hurt natalie but i just
20:18wouldn't want you to find out later that we'd held anything back what kind of trouble
20:22preston asked grant for a loan a few weeks ago something about natalie spending too much
20:29that's all i know
20:33imagine my surprise you reaching out in the middle of the day saying you'd like to meet in public no
20:41less what do you mean well your newspaper hasn't exactly been kind to my family over the years
20:51not sure what your readers would think if they saw us having coffee together miss de la croix
20:56first it's catherine second i don't think our readers would be the least bit surprised they
21:01know the broward county herald's only ever after the facts not sure my father would agree but it's
21:07nice to finally put a face to the byline my assistant said you had some questions about ed carter
21:14for decades he oversaw one of the biggest chains of drug rehab clinics in the state now he stands
21:19accused of defrauding thousands of clients and orchestrating the death of his own son it's no secret
21:24he's always been one of your father's biggest donors just like it's no secret that in light of
21:29those allegations my father returned mr carter's most recent donation and introduced legislation to
21:36increase funding and oversight for addiction treatment it's my understanding you played a big
21:39part in bringing ed carter down you you worked with a private investigator to team up for law
21:44enforcement i'm afraid that because the investigation is ongoing i can't comment on that at this time
21:50huh what about the pi i see a lot to comment i understand he has some interesting ties to your
21:55family too your stepbrother in particular
22:03sort of a no-no when you've agreed to an interview is that what this is an interview
22:10because it seems more like an invasion of your ex-husband's privacy
22:14after he did what he did to lucas you think we didn't find out every little thing we could about
22:18him i think you mean what lucas did to rj he was the one who committed a crime that day
22:22but rj went
22:23to prison thanks in no small part to the testimony you gave at his trial i take it you don't
22:28like that
22:28i've been in rj's orbit but did it ever occur to you that i genuinely want to help him if
22:36you want to
22:36help him maybe you'd like to take this opportunity to admit on the record that you perjured yourself two
22:42years ago of course that might mean a little prison time for you
22:49it's been a pleasure miss delacroix
22:58same thanks you've been a big help
23:02million dollar life insurance policy on his recently deceased wife plus the 2.5 from the house assuming
23:08that was insured too preston howard's money troubles are over between the windfall and the attention
23:13this case is getting it's gonna have lawyers lining up to represent him good ones hope you got a good
23:17look at him today because we won't see him again for a while i bet you 50 bucks you're wrong
23:25i'm sorry for the way that grant spoke to you he wasn't wrong a lawyer would make a lot of
23:31sense
23:33and more importantly i think i might know who killed natalie over all the years mr howard
23:41i've never paid much attention to our finances natalie always took care of the bills about a month ago
23:48i noticed that the balance in our joint savings it seemed low when i looked into it i saw that
23:54she
23:54had been making some big cash withdrawals every month going back almost a year always just under ten
24:00thousand dollars 10k being a threshold for reporting to the irs she said that it had to be some kind
24:06of mistake and that she would look into it but she seemed she seemed afraid and i was worried
24:17so the next time that she said she had errands to run i followed her she went to the bank
24:23made a cash
24:23withdrawal and she drove straight to dixie court it's a rough area she gave the money to a guy that
24:28i'd never seen before tattoos everywhere even on his face and when she got home i asked her point
24:36blank are you buying drugs are you gambling she wouldn't tell me she just said that it was the
24:44last time i told her look whatever's going on it's okay but we can go to the police she said
24:51that she was
24:52planning to go herself she just said that she needed more time whatever natalie got herself into i don't know
25:03but maybe this guy wasn't okay her putting it into it
25:08well can you tell us exactly where you saw natalie meet with him yeah
25:24what's your favorite
25:26like chocolate or vanilla the beatles of the stones crockett or tubs clubs of what
25:38are you really gonna sit there and pretend you don't know the guys from my advice
25:42i know the guys from fort lauderdale vice i'm talking about the tv show the one you know what
25:48is
25:48you know what
26:03don't you think that's the guy natalie howard was paying off
26:07One way to find out.
26:13I heard on the news about a house
26:15growing up in the suburbs.
26:17I had no idea it was Mrs. H's.
26:21Well, we have pictures of her, too,
26:22if you'd like to see them, Andre.
26:24I get why you brought me here.
26:26A nice white lady coming to see a guy
26:28with his face all tatted up.
26:29Oh, God, you're not here because of the ink on your face.
26:32You're here because of the ink on your rap sheet.
26:33You got eight arrests for possession of a controlled substance,
26:3511 more for possession with intent to distribute.
26:38I was a dealer.
26:40Emphasis on was.
26:41So if we were to test what's left of Mrs. H,
26:44we wouldn't find any drugs in her system?
26:45No, I left all that behind.
26:47I work as a youth counselor now.
26:49How do you explain all that money, Natalie?
26:51How does it bring you that?
26:52It's for a community center I'm helping get built.
26:54The construction site you picked me up at,
26:56that's where it's gonna be.
26:58Named for my baby brother, Omari.
27:00He's the reason me and Mrs. H met.
27:02And how do they know each other?
27:04Actually, they didn't.
27:06He died last year.
27:08Hit and run.
27:10Story made a lot of the papers
27:12because he had just got a full ride to Miami.
27:16Boy, kahoot.
27:18But whoever ran him down
27:20didn't give a damn who he was.
27:22Left him there to die.
27:23Mrs. H showed about the funeral,
27:25told my mom she read about it.
27:26Said she knew what we were going through
27:27because she lost a son to a drunk driver.
27:29When I told her I was trying to get a community center built,
27:32name it after Omari,
27:34she plans to hunt a grand.
27:35People donating that amount don't tend to do it in cash.
27:38They write checks.
27:40They want the tax deductions.
27:41Honestly, I thought it was a little sus, too.
27:44She said she wanted to be anonymous,
27:46but the only person deserved any attention was Omari.
27:50Can you account for your whereabouts on Tuesday
27:52between 10 a.m. and noon?
27:53I can.
27:54So can a couple hundred other people.
27:56I was at Mercer Elementary School
27:58giving a talk about staying away from drugs.
28:05Let's just say everything he told us was on the level.
28:08Natalie Howard was taking money out for good reason.
28:11When Preston Howard found out about it,
28:13why not just tell him the truth?
28:14She'll do you one better.
28:15Why did she tell him she was planning to go to the police?
28:18One sec.
28:21Hey, what's up?
28:22Am I catching you at a bad time?
28:24No, it's a good time, actually.
28:25I just got out of an interrogation.
28:27Funny.
28:28I'm calling because I went through one of those myself today.
28:41Hey.
28:42Hey, how was your day?
28:43You get up to anything interesting?
28:45I did, actually.
28:48I'm doing a story in that big win you had,
28:50the Ed Carter thing.
28:51I thought I should have a conversation with Emmy Ochoa.
28:54Oh, really?
28:54Funny.
28:55You didn't mention that story to me.
28:56Oh, I'm sorry.
28:57Are we keeping score now
28:59when it comes to things one of us didn't tell the other?
29:01I get what you like about her, by the way.
29:03I mean, her capacity for forgiveness,
29:05her willingness to get into bed figuratively, of course,
29:07with the meth addict who tried to kill her brother
29:10for, you know, no reason at all.
29:12I mean, people have been sainted for less.
29:14I told you, okay?
29:15I told you.
29:16She regrets what she did.
29:18I'm glad that's enough for you.
29:19It isn't for me.
29:25Found something.
29:26Yeah.
29:26When you're done with your personal calls?
29:28Sorry.
29:29What did Catherine do now?
29:31Listen, you are, for all your faults,
29:33one of the coolest customers I've ever met.
29:37Nothing ever seems to bother you
29:38except for when my wife calls you on your BS.
29:41I'm gonna go on a limb and say
29:42it has something to do with Emmy Ochoa.
29:43Let's just say Catherine decided
29:46to introduce herself today
29:47and we'll just, we'll just leave it at that.
29:50Oh, man.
29:52Did I ever tell you about the day
29:55you were sentenced, what Catherine did?
29:57Mm-mm.
29:58Went home, got in bed,
30:00and didn't get out for three days.
30:02I remember thinking like,
30:03hey, what the hell?
30:05This is her ex.
30:06You know, most people,
30:06they hear their ex is going to prison,
30:08they throw a party.
30:09And I will admit that like,
30:10for a millisecond,
30:11I thought maybe she wasn't over you.
30:13And then I realized,
30:15no, my beautiful wife,
30:16your beautiful ex,
30:18she just loves bigger than I understood.
30:22And when you love that big,
30:24you worry that big.
30:26My question for you is,
30:28do you love being loved big?
30:31Because if you don't...
30:40You said you had something.
30:42Yeah.
30:46Everything Andre Blake told us checked out.
30:48He was at that school the day the Howard's house blew up,
30:50and his brother was killed in a hit-and-run last year.
30:54Okay, so as far as suspects go,
30:56we're back to square one.
30:57In the death of Natalie Howard,
30:58yes,
30:59in the death of baby bro,
31:00not so much.
31:02Natalie Howard never had a kid,
31:03let alone one killed by a drunk driver.
31:05So I wondered,
31:06why show up at Omari Blake's funeral?
31:09Why pledge a hundred grand
31:11to a community center being built in his honor?
31:14Let me guess,
31:14once Natalie's death was ruled a homicide,
31:16you got access to her phone records.
31:18Way ahead of you.
31:19The night Omari Blake died in that hit-and-run,
31:21guess whose phone was pinging off the nearest tower?
31:23All right.
31:25Okay,
31:25so if Natalie Howard killed Omari,
31:28but Omari's brother didn't kill Natalie,
31:30then maybe one of the family members
31:31found out the truth
31:32and killed her to get revenge.
31:34Oh, yeah.
31:35Ah!
31:36What?
31:37Sorry.
31:38It's my client.
31:39I'm sorry.
31:40Hey, Bob, what's up?
31:41You need an update?
31:41No, I just got home.
31:43Someone must have broken in.
31:44Everything is torn apart.
31:45I didn't want to call the police
31:48because of everything going on with Louise,
31:50but...
31:50Okay, Bob, take a deep breath.
31:52Just get out of the house.
31:53I'll be there and, like...
31:54I just heard something.
31:56I think the person who did this missed...
31:58Bob.
32:00Bob, what was that?
32:02Bob, answer me.
32:03What was that?
32:03Bob.
32:04Bob.
32:13Paramedics say he'll make it, but...
32:15Blow us to the back of the head.
32:16I'm sorry to see who did it.
32:18Blow to the back of the head
32:19is just like Natalie Howard.
32:20You think the guy who killed her did this?
32:22I mean, as far as signatures go,
32:24hitting people on the head
32:25is not a very unique one.
32:27Even if you're right,
32:28what motive would they have
32:29for attacking them both?
32:30Well, any luck,
32:31the answer's gonna come
32:32from that guy right there.
32:34Mr. Adult Onesie?
32:35Actually, Mr. Ring Camera.
32:36He just told me his
32:37has a great view of Bob's driveway.
32:43Hey, are you seriously
32:45using terry cloth again?
32:46How many times have I told you
32:48microfiber only?
32:50Oh, my God!
32:56Hey, if you're looking for Preston,
32:58he isn't here.
32:59Had to go make some funeral arrangements
33:00for Natalie.
33:01Actually, Mr. Summers,
33:04we're here for you.
33:06We have video of this car
33:07arriving at Bob Vernon's house
33:08just minutes before someone
33:10assaulted him last night.
33:11There's lots of cars
33:12like this out there.
33:13Yeah.
33:14But only one luxe guy won, right?
33:19Lawyer.
33:27This is what you've been doing?
33:29Yeah.
33:30Oh, well, a complicated case.
33:31I thought some visual aids might help.
33:33I would say it looks like
33:34something Sophia may,
33:35but I don't know
33:36she can do better than this.
33:38Three couples,
33:39all friends from the same country club,
33:41all connected by the murder
33:42of Natalie Howard.
33:43And by the bandit of Broward,
33:45a.k.a. Louise Vernon.
33:46Exactly.
33:47She did rob the Summers' house,
33:49and she attempted to rob
33:50the Howard's house.
33:51I think she's the reason
33:53Grant went to Bob's house last night.
33:55Revenge?
33:55Asset retrieval.
33:57I told Louise
33:57it's my least favorite job,
33:58but it's a thing for a reason.
33:59Someone steals your stuff,
34:00you want it back.
34:02Louise's storage locker
34:02was a detail we kept
34:03out of the press.
34:04Yes, exactly.
34:05That's why I think
34:05Grant went to her house
34:06last night,
34:07tore it up
34:07looking for something
34:08she stole.
34:09Why wouldn't he just
34:10contact the police,
34:10ask if his property
34:11was recovered?
34:12Well, you're assuming
34:12what he was looking for
34:13he'd be okay with
34:14the police knowing about.
34:15What, like a brick of cocaine
34:16or something?
34:17Spidey Sen says no,
34:18but that's only because
34:19based on the items
34:19retrieved from the storage locker,
34:21she wasn't into drugs.
34:22Only things that were nice.
34:24What nice thing
34:25would have tied Grant
34:26to a crime?
34:26Don't know,
34:27but I gotta think
34:28it's the same reason
34:29he killed Natalie Howard.
34:31Well, lucky for us,
34:32we have a band-aid
34:32who can just tell us
34:33what she stole.
34:35You really think
34:36what happened to Bob
34:36was my fault?
34:37Well, we think
34:38they're connected.
34:40Yeah.
34:42All this
34:45awfulness
34:47just because I was bored
34:49and needed a little
34:49excitement in my life.
34:51Bob's doctor said
34:53he opened size this morning.
34:56He didn't say anything,
34:57but she thinks
35:00it's a good sign.
35:01She thinks he's
35:01going to be okay.
35:04That's good, Luis.
35:06I'm glad.
35:09You said this is the claim
35:10Grant and Don
35:11fought with their
35:12insurance company
35:12after I robbed them,
35:13but I'm still a little fuzzy
35:16on what I'm supposed
35:16to be looking for.
35:17Something that isn't there.
35:19The idea is
35:20you stole something
35:21that could have gotten
35:22Grant in trouble,
35:23and if you did,
35:24there's a good chance
35:25he wouldn't have
35:25made a claim for it.
35:29Like the dog
35:30that doesn't bark, right?
35:32It's the absence
35:33of things that matters.
35:34I'm guessing
35:34you stole the complete
35:35works of Sherlock Holmes
35:36at some point.
35:42Wow.
35:44I'm the one
35:45being accused of theft?
35:47What do you mean?
35:49Grant and Don
35:49have been ripping off
35:50their insurance company.
35:54Airtay statuette?
35:55Yeah.
35:56Poochie dress?
35:57Emerald brooch?
35:59They claimed
36:00at least
36:0020,000 bucks
36:02worth of stuff
36:03that I definitely
36:03didn't take.
36:06You, uh,
36:07want to charge him
36:07from fraud?
36:08I'm willing to testify.
36:10Oh, yeah,
36:10in exchange for reducing
36:11the charges against you?
36:13Actually, I'm...
36:15I was hoping
36:16I could get permission
36:16to visit Bob's room.
36:18I...
36:19I know I'm under arrest,
36:22but...
36:23I'd like to hold his hand.
36:25Maybe even be there
36:26when he wakes up.
36:29You find something
36:30that proves Grant
36:30Summers is a killer,
36:31and I'll work on that
36:33and the charges.
36:39Huh.
36:41The most valuable thing
36:42I took from Grant
36:43and Don's house?
36:44The one they could've
36:45made a huge
36:45legitimate claim for?
36:46Mm-hmm.
36:48It's not listed here.
36:55There.
36:56Right there.
36:58Ah.
36:59Ostrich skin
37:00with 18-karat gold hardware.
37:02There were only six made.
37:03One of them was auctioned
37:04at Sotheby's last year.
37:05Sold for over 200,000.
37:08Of course,
37:09I couldn't wear it
37:10would have attracted
37:11too much attention,
37:12but...
37:12I sure was nice
37:13to look at.
37:14Okay,
37:14maybe Grant stole it.
37:16They didn't make a claim
37:16because they were
37:17tied to the crime.
37:18A murder,
37:18an attempted murder,
37:19exploded the house off
37:20for a stolen bag?
37:21I don't think so.
37:21A stolen bag
37:22worth over 200 grand.
37:23I don't think it was the bag
37:24he was looking for.
37:26I think it's what was
37:26inside the bag.
37:28Did you know
37:29that was in there?
37:30No.
37:30I told you
37:31I never used the bag,
37:33but I don't get it.
37:33What's so special
37:34about a license plate?
37:35Ordinarily,
37:35not much,
37:36but I think this one's
37:37going to prove
37:37one of the Summers
37:38is a killer.
37:44The Summers.
37:46Do you recognize
37:48these?
37:50Of course,
37:51they were all
37:51stolen from my home,
37:53but I'm confused.
37:54Is that why
37:56you asked me
37:56to come here?
37:57To give them
37:58back to me?
38:00Because I thought
38:00you had questions
38:01about the little
38:03misunderstanding
38:03between Grant
38:04and Bob Vernon.
38:05You mean when Grant
38:06misunderstood a pipe
38:07to the back
38:07of Bob's skull?
38:09Grant went there
38:10to talk to Bob
38:11about what Louise
38:11had done.
38:12Things got heated
38:13and Bob came at him.
38:16Grant was just
38:17defending himself.
38:19What about this?
38:22Recognize this?
38:24No, that isn't mine.
38:27You sure?
38:28Because a bag like that
38:29is easy to trace.
38:30Your husband got it
38:31at auction a year ago
38:32just before your
38:3350th birthday,
38:34which, according
38:35to social media posts,
38:37you celebrated
38:37at Cabrera in Miami.
38:43Yes, sorry.
38:44I remember now.
38:46I have so many bags.
38:48I suppose I just
38:49forgot about this one.
38:51That must be nice.
38:52To be so rich,
38:52you could forget
38:53about one that costs
38:54six figures.
38:55What about this?
38:57Recognize that?
38:59That appears to be
39:00a plate from
39:02a car I reported
39:03stolen last year.
39:04Well, not just last year.
39:05The day after
39:06your birthday party.
39:08I'm confused.
39:09Did you find the car?
39:10No, odds are we never will
39:12because odds are
39:13you and Grant
39:13got rid of it.
39:14That's crazy.
39:15Why would we do that?
39:16Because it was your car
39:17that struck and killed
39:18a kid named
39:19Omari Blake last year.
39:22At first,
39:22we thought it was Natalie
39:23who did it,
39:24but no,
39:25she was just the passenger,
39:26wasn't she?
39:27We traced the chain
39:28of title on the car.
39:301975 Mercedes SLC.
39:32It's a real classic.
39:33Originally purchased
39:34by your father
39:34the week you were born.
39:35He transferred the title
39:36to you when you turned 16.
39:38And you could have
39:39just gotten rid of the plate
39:39along with the car,
39:40but it was more than
39:41just proof of a crime,
39:42wasn't it?
39:46It was proof of how much
39:47daddy loved you
39:48and how special you are.
39:50Yeah,
39:50so much more special
39:51than some random
39:5217-year-old on a bike.
39:55It's too bad
39:56Luis stole your bag
39:57before you had a chance
39:58to get this out.
40:01Obviously,
40:01you managed to swear
40:03Natalie to secrecy
40:04that night,
40:05but unlike you,
40:06her conscience
40:07that got to her.
40:09She ended up donating
40:10$100,000 to a community
40:12center in Omari's name.
40:13Recently,
40:14she told her husband
40:15there was something
40:15she needed to tell him,
40:16and we think she was
40:17going to spill about
40:18what really happened
40:18that night,
40:19and we think she gave
40:20you the opportunity
40:21to do the same,
40:22and instead,
40:23you sink your psycho
40:24husband on her.
40:27No.
40:28No,
40:29Grant would never.
40:30He's a good man.
40:32So good,
40:32he wouldn't take
40:32a plea deal
40:33to pin Omari
40:34and Natalie's murder
40:35on you?
40:36Because you should know
40:37the DA's office
40:38is about to offer him
40:38one in about 20 minutes.
40:41Unless,
40:42of course,
40:44you want to talk
40:44about a deal
40:44for yourself.
40:51Kathy,
40:53you made it.
40:54You said in your text
40:55you had a much
40:56better story for me
40:57than Emmy Ochoa
40:58dupes Florida
40:59PI a second time.
41:00How could I resist?
41:01Look,
41:01about that,
41:02I...
41:02It's okay.
41:04I overstepped.
41:05Not a lot,
41:07but enough.
41:09So still pals,
41:10Emmy.
41:10Well,
41:10it depends how good
41:11this other story is.
41:12Well,
41:12actually,
41:12you have your choice
41:13of two.
41:14I hear it.
41:14My client,
41:15Bob Vernon,
41:16husband of the infamous
41:17band of Broward,
41:18he hasn't talked
41:18to the press
41:19since he got out
41:19of the hospital.
41:20But for the life
41:21of a cop,
41:22who just talked
41:22the DA
41:23into a plea deal
41:24that would see her
41:24serve less than a year,
41:27make an exception.
41:28And behind door
41:29number two?
41:31You see that group
41:32over there?
41:34It's the family
41:35of Omari Blake.
41:37I just told them
41:38how Don and Grant Summer,
41:39they couldn't turn
41:40on each other
41:40fast enough.
41:42They're both probably
41:43going to go away
41:43for life.
41:43Now,
41:44it doesn't bring
41:45Omari back,
41:46but they're all glad
41:46to be finally
41:47getting some justice.
41:49Now,
41:49I figured a piece
41:50in the Herald
41:51would be a good way
41:51to remind people
41:52who he was,
41:53how much he was loved.
41:55Not to mention
41:56some good publicity
41:57for the community
41:58center of the building.
42:01You're really
42:02going to make me choose?
42:03Well,
42:04it depends.
42:05You're going to quit
42:06trying to make me
42:06go on the dating apps?
42:07I'll let you know
42:08after we talk
42:09to the Blakes.
42:11All right.
42:12Let's talk
42:12to the Blakes.
42:13one time
42:18dreaming about you
