01:00It's you I am you're lucky the car alarm woke you before it melted

02:42Covert surveillance
02:44Asset recovery
02:45And wrongful death
02:47Investigations
02:48This is where I remind you
02:50That you're required
02:50To avoid contact with criminals
02:52If you don't keep your nose clean
02:54You're going right back to Appalachee
02:55Clean is in Fort Loud
02:57I promise
02:58Are you sure it would be easier
02:59If I just gave you a job here?
03:01You could be
03:02I don't know
03:02My snow cone guy
03:04That is tempting
03:05Actually
03:05I'm supposed to meet some clients
03:06In 30 minutes
03:07So
03:08If we're done here
03:09Yeah
03:09Thank you
03:12Uh
03:13RJ
03:13Yeah
03:14Behave yourself
03:17Well thanks to you
03:19I feel
03:23Like a man
03:25Without any hand
03:27Uh
03:27Okay
03:28Bryce
03:29Molly
03:29Forgive me
03:30But you can't hide from who?
03:33From Goose
03:33We're pretty sure it was Goose
03:36This guy I dated a few times
03:37Years ago
03:38His real name's Jared Tapp
03:40Everyone just called him Goose
03:41Because he loved Top Gun so much
03:42He was also a big fan of meth
03:45But he was sold a long time ago
03:47It's not your fault
03:48Goose has been in and out of prison
03:50In and out of rehab
03:51Every couple of years
03:52He shows up wanting something
03:55The other night after the cops left
03:56Back in the house
03:57Found this
04:05Your past is coming back to haunt you
04:0710k under the green bench at loggerhead park tomorrow by noon
04:11The next time I light up your house
04:15And the reason you didn't want to take this to the police is
04:18Goose has a cousin who's a cop
04:20He's made things go away for Goose before
04:24We were afraid if we told them
04:26Yeah
04:26No I get it
04:27I get it
04:28I get it
04:28And I think I know what to do
04:31Can you get the 10k together before noon?
04:34Yeah
04:35But the whole reason we came to you was so we wouldn't go
04:37I'm not recommending you pay him
04:39Well I am
04:39But only temporarily
04:40I'm gonna put the money under the bench
04:42And then I'll watch from a distance until he comes for it
04:45I'll take pictures we can take to the police
04:48It won't matter who Goose's cousin is
04:50If we have photographic evidence
04:54Don't sound like a plan?
04:59Well
05:00You know this is like finding out about Santa Claus
05:03It's devastating honestly
05:06What are you talking about?
05:08Learning your job is this boring
05:10Hurts my soul
05:12Well I didn't invite you remember
05:13You asked to come
05:14Yeah cause I assumed that a stakeout would be awesome
05:16Not a damn I don't know
05:19Sleep age
05:22How'd it go with your CRO today?
05:26Still not such a fan of the whole P.I. thing
05:30It's not for me a job making snow cones
05:36Benefits
05:38You tell me it's not more exciting than what we're doing right now
05:42Come on
05:46Oh you got eyes on the target?
05:48Yeah it could be cool
05:48She's heading straight for the money
05:50What the guy in the dorky hat?
05:51Yep
05:52What is that a bandage on his hand?
05:54It could be from that flamethrower you mentioned
05:56Hey wait where you going?
05:58I don't have his face
05:59I need a better look
06:00Hey stay here watch the car
06:01Wait she's
06:02Wait she's
06:04Can the button
06:14Wait her
06:20We're gonna die
06:20Wait her
06:26How am I
06:29We're gonna die
06:31This is absurd
06:34Oh, no!
06:37Man, what the hell is wrong with you?
06:40It's OK, officer.
06:41I'm OK.
06:43All right, roll over.
06:44Show me your wrist.
06:45Are you serious?
06:47Come on.
06:48Let's go.
06:50Thanks.
07:05Say never.
07:08Uh...
07:08Never.
07:09Again.
07:11Never.
07:12No, stupid. Say never again.
07:14Right. Uh, never again.
07:16Uh-huh.
07:17Uh, you know this is like a terrible place to stab someone, right?
07:20You want the good news first or the bad?
07:23I take it the...
07:24Good news is that the hot dog vendor's not gonna press charges?
07:28The bad is you're about to buy him a new cart
07:30and all the hot dogs you spilled.
07:33Done.
07:35And thank you.
07:36Mm-hmm.
07:37If you're looking for missed calls from your CRO, there shouldn't be any.
07:40This went into the system as an incident report and not an arrest.
07:43She wasn't notified.
07:46But...
07:47It would make an interesting story to tell at dinner tomorrow night, don't you think?
07:51It would, but if you don't, there might be a hundred hot dogs in it for you.
07:55Get out.
07:56OK.
07:57And with this one here, a little less blurry?
07:59Mm.
08:00I don't know.
08:01If it is Goose, he's a little thicker these days.
08:04Yeah.
08:04Then again, his weight was always kind of yo-yoing up and down.
08:07You know, when money's tight, less meth, more carbs.
08:12Is that something on his hand or is that like a smudge?
08:14Nah, it's a bandit.
08:15It's really the only identifiable feature I got, I'm sorry.
08:18But if you want, we can still take it to the police.
08:21We can share your suspicions.
08:22No.
08:23It's OK.
08:24If I know Goose, this is over now.
08:26I don't want to put Bryce through any more craziness.
08:30Yesterday, you made it sound like you and Goose, you weren't all that serious.
08:34Yeah.
08:35I tried to give people that impression, especially in front of my husband.
08:39You had a real history, huh?
08:40We were a thing for over a year.
08:42This was before he put the career in career criminal.
08:46But Bryce doesn't know it was serious, so if you could not mention.
08:51Thing is, is that I feel responsible for the money you lost.
08:55If you let me, I'd like to try to get it back.
08:58How?
08:59You know where he lives?
09:01Any old friends still in touch?
09:03I mean, I may have a few old numbers somewhere.
09:06A couple buddies of his, an aunt, an uncle.
09:09But I'd be surprised if he's still on speaking terms with any of them.
09:13Send them to me.
09:14I'll see if I can get a beat on them.
09:17What?
09:17I learned my lesson, you know.
09:19I really didn't need another reminder that I made a huge mistake a long time ago.
09:25You ever have five minutes of your life you'd do anything to have back?
09:28I know exactly what that's like.
09:30Okay.
09:35Yeah, that's right, Miss McCann.
09:36It was your nephew's car I hit.
09:38I was, uh, towing this Nissan Z.
09:40Repo job.
09:41Well, it don't matter.
09:42But there was his dog, eh?
09:44I up and swerved and...
09:47No, ma'am.
09:47No, no, no, ma'am.
09:48No, I won't feel right till I get a check in his hand.
09:51Fourteen hundred dollars.
09:54Try to limit yourself to four or fifty, please.
09:58You say he's there most afternoons, do you?
10:00All right, ma'am.
10:01Yes, ma'am.
10:02Yes, ma'am.
10:03I'll send him your love.
10:04Absolutely.
10:05That was Remy Tremblay.
10:08Big old tub from Cell Block D.
10:10Used to take my pudding cup at lunch.
10:12What are you talking about?
10:13That was my client's ex-boyfriend's aunt.
10:16Oh, the voice you were doing.
10:19Remy.
10:21I wish, eh?
10:23I wish you'd give me that pudding.
10:25Chills.
10:26Yeah.
10:27So what, they didn't tell you where to find Goose?
10:29Yeah, he's staying with a buddy at the Las Olas trailer parks.
10:32This time of day, he's pretty deep into a six pack or three.
10:35All right.
10:35So, what's the plan?
10:37You go over there and ask him nicely for 10K?
10:40Nicely?
10:40Not too nicely?
10:41I guess it depends how drunk he is.
10:51There he is.
10:52Looks like I'm just in time.
10:55I know you.
10:56Yep.
10:57I'm the ghost of your future.
10:59I'm here from the year 2034.
11:01Huh?
11:02No?
11:02You don't recognize me this morning?
11:04The hot dogs, the running.
11:06You know what?
11:07Forget it.
11:07The Sixter is a peace offering.
11:09You give me the 10 grand, I give you the beer.
11:11No one calls the cops.
11:12We both call them happy.
11:13What do you say?
11:1410 grand?
11:14Yeah, Goose.
11:1510 grand.
11:1610 grand.
11:17You give it to me, you give it to the cops.
11:19That's up to you.
11:19You know what?
11:20How about instead, I just kick your ass?
11:24Whoa!
11:26Whoa.
11:26You have a prosthetic foot?
11:28Yeah.
11:29Since when?
11:30I don't know, a year ago.
11:31I flipped my ATV when I was out in Punta Gorda.
11:33Are we gonna fight or not?
11:34Not, because I don't think you beat me in a foot race this morning.
11:37Are you making fun of me?
11:38No, I'm not making fun of you.
11:40You're not getting my beer either.
11:42Probably gonna need it more than you anyway.
11:44Hey!
11:45All right, in position!
11:46In position!
11:47Let's go!
11:48Let's go!
11:49Let's go!
11:50Danny, second!
11:51Hayden!
11:51Move your butt!
11:52You're playing third!
11:53Right over!
11:55Good, you got this!
11:56Vince, lighten it up.
11:57Let's get the good vibes going.
11:59All right, two, two!
12:02This one's coming to you, Hayden.
12:03There it is!
12:04Okay, boy!
12:05Go!
12:08Mr. Decker, hi.
12:09Hi.
12:10Uh, is now a good time for an update?
12:13We're at Henry's baseball game, but it's fine.
12:15I just sat down.
12:16So, the person you made off with your money this morning wasn't Goose.
12:21What?
12:22Are you sure?
12:24Wish I weren't.
12:25I don't understand.
12:26If it wasn't him...
12:27We should talk.
12:28I want to know if there's anyone else that...
12:31Dad!
12:32Dad!
12:33What's the matter?
12:34Henry?
12:35Molly, what's going on?
12:36What is it?
12:36What's wrong?
12:38You okay?
12:41I picked up my glove and all that.
12:43Still out!
12:47You made me run.
12:49Your turn.
12:58Brooks, why don't we show Henry where he's going to be sleeping at night?
13:02Thanks, Vince.
13:04Gotta bite.
13:08You're positive this wasn't Goose?
13:11Even if he had both of his feet.
13:12He was three sheets to the wind when I left him.
13:15There's no way he could have gotten in and out of that dugout without someone noticing.
13:19This is making any sense.
13:20The note we got at the house said our past was coming back to haunt us.
13:24But if it wasn't Goose...
13:26Well, first things first.
13:28Do you feel safe here?
13:30At least for tonight?
13:31Yeah, we've known Vince and his wife for years and Henry and Brooks are on the same
13:36all-star teams.
13:37And I can't think of a reason that the person who's doing this would think to live for us
13:41here.
13:42Okay.
13:44Well, good news.
13:45Whoever he is, I think he may have screwed up tonight.
13:48You see this?
13:50I'm hoping that's blood.
13:52The guy chased today, he had a bandage on his hand.
13:54Maybe when he put the bullets in, he left a little of himself behind.
13:57Now, obviously, I can't run DNA, but if we did take it to the police...
14:01I told you the other day, we're not going to the police.
14:03Right, but that was because of Goose's cousin.
14:05And now that we know Goose isn't our guy...
14:07Well, do we?
14:07Sweetie, you just told us.
14:09We know that the guy that he was chasing wasn't Goose, but maybe that was Goose's cousin.
14:12Maybe they're working together.
14:14What then?
14:14Well, Goose isn't the only one with friends in the police department.
14:17If you want, I can introduce you to...
14:19No!
14:20We did everything you told us to do this morning.
14:23Everything.
14:23And what happened?
14:24The guy who did this spotted you.
14:26And now $10,000 isn't enough.
14:28He wants us to leave town, too.
14:29The message didn't say leave town.
14:30It said run.
14:31Is there a difference?
14:32It's okay.
14:33He's right.
14:34Today did not go as planned.
14:36I'm sorry.
14:37I really am.
14:39So I'm hoping you guys will let me stay on and work for you free of charge.
14:43At least until you two and Henry feel safe.
14:45We would appreciate that.
14:47All right.
14:47Is there anyone else you can think of that will put you through all this?
14:50I mean, I teach kindergarten and he does people's taxes for the family that gives out king size candy bars
14:56at Halloween.
14:57I thought everyone liked us.
14:59What about one of your clients?
15:01Anyone ever get really angry when they found out how much they owed the government?
15:05No one comes to mind, but my partner is more the face of the company.
15:09So if someone had a problem, they'd go to him.
15:18Are you kidding?
15:19It's a dump.
15:19I believe the listing calls it a fixer upper's dream.
15:23We can't show this to RJ.
15:24It's worse than his old place and his old place is upside down in a crater.
15:27You are aware of the man's budget, yes?
15:29He's paying us rent in babysitting and day old hot dogs.
15:33This sudden interest in rehousing RJ, it wouldn't have anything to do with the dinner we're hosting for his conditional
15:38release officer tonight, would it?
15:40It wouldn't not have anything to do with it.
15:43No.
15:44Sophia!
15:45Meet the nice lady who collects Uncle RJ's pee every few weeks to make sure he isn't doing drugs.
15:50Sweetie!
15:50He was supposed to be here one week, okay?
15:52And yes, he's a good guy, he means well, I get it, but he's also...
16:00What?
16:01A crap magnet.
16:02He attracts trouble, trouble attracts him.
16:04It's only a matter of time before he tracks him right in here.
16:10He hasn't always been that way.
16:14Not when we were buddies at the Herald, not when we were married.
16:16I mean, he took chances, most photographers do, but he always knew where the lines were.
16:20He didn't go looking for trouble.
16:21I didn't say he goes looking for trouble.
16:23You said he finds it.
16:26And you're right.
16:27The thing is, I worry.
16:28Sometimes it's a little my fault.
16:30How?
16:31When we separated, the problem wasn't that we didn't love each other, it's that we were only ever supposed to
16:35be pals.
16:36And so afterwards, we stayed pals.
16:37But then once you and I got together, I pulled back a little and then a lot.
16:43I mean, me and my ex getting beers, watching the Marlins twice a week, sort of a lot to explain
16:49my sex in a girlfriend.
16:50But because I pulled back, I wasn't there when things fell apart.
16:55So really, if we think about it, it's my fault he went to prison.
17:00Okay, beating up that guy who broke into his car, that isn't anybody's fault but his.
17:03Mm-hmm.
17:04But it took him a while to get to that place, and I guess I wish I'd been paying better
17:08attention.
17:11Babe, I am not asking to adopt him, I promise.
17:15I just want to be more there for him this time.
17:19You still show him the fixer-upper's dream?
17:23Yeah.
17:26Okay.
17:40Wow.
17:40You went full mystery wall.
17:43I've got to be honest, I don't know why they do that in the movies.
17:47It's depressing, looking at everything you don't know.
17:51Did you sleep last night?
17:56I just need some more time, but the dad, Bryce, he came apart last night.
18:02I was walking him out, he started talking about moving his family to Santa Clara, where he went to grad
18:07school.
18:08I can think of worse places to start over.
18:11Yeah, I know, but why should they?
18:12Oh, I don't know.
18:14A maniac with a grudge and a flamethrower?
18:17I've got to go meet his business partner, see if he can think of anyone with a grudge and a
18:21flamethrower.
18:23What's up, you need something?
18:26You just want to make sure that you're still on for dinner with your special friend tonight?
18:30Oh yeah, wouldn't miss it.
18:32I mean, not without getting violated back to prison.
18:35Gosh, Mr. Decker, I'm at a loss.
18:37We like the people we work for and they like us.
18:40Hard to imagine anyone going after Bryce.
18:42And you sure you can't think of anyone who might have gotten ticked when they owed Uncle Sam more than
18:46they were expecting?
18:47Well sure, but nobody who ever shot the messenger or flamethrowered him, you know?
18:51You don't have any idea when he'll be back to work, do you?
18:54I'm sorry, I don't.
18:56We'll save him, okay? I love the guy.
18:59And if I'm being honest, I'm screwed if he doesn't come back soon.
19:01He's the one who keeps this place humming.
19:03He does, huh?
19:06That's funny, I noticed it was just your name on the door and the sign and the letterhead, the ads,
19:12everything.
19:12If I had a nickel for every time I offered to make him partner, he always just says he doesn't
19:16need the credit.
19:17Plus, you know he'd have to be certified.
19:23Sorry, are you saying Bryce isn't his CPA?
19:26Really?
19:29Last time he told me he went to grad school in Santa Clara.
19:32Did he?
19:33Huh?
19:34Maybe he just never sat for the exam?
19:35Maybe, but if he's as good as you say he is, then why would he go to grad school without
19:39getting certified?
19:41He really never mentioned Santa Clara to you.
19:43Sorry, no.
19:46But you know us number crunchers is not always great at the interpersonal stuff.
19:56What?
20:01Use the legs.
20:02Use the legs.
20:03Use the legs.
20:04All right.
20:09You're about scared the bejesus out of you.
20:11I'm sorry.
20:11I needed a quiet place to work.
20:13I'm sorry.
20:14Fine.
20:18Something got you in a state.
20:21Last night, Bryce Danner told me he went to grad school in Santa Clara, but I searched every school in
20:26the area.
20:27There's no record of anyone with that name.
20:29Yeah, well, there's probably no record of me attending Iron Tiger Taekwondo, but I did take six classes. Broke a
20:35board and everything.
20:37There were graduating notices for a Bryce Carbon, Bryce Wachtell, and a Bryce Hempstead.
20:43So I thought there might be some clerical error. Search those names. I found this. Come here.
20:50What you got?
20:55Bryce Wachtell, stabbed in San Francisco 2011. Nearly died.
21:01Yeah. The police never found the perp. They suspected it was due to a business dispute between Bryce Wachtell's business
21:07partner and a Chinese triad.
21:13Well, that's very interesting, but I think you have to help the Bryce you had before you move on to
21:18another, no?
21:19Well, that's the thing.
21:21They're the same guy.
21:23The last 15 years, Bryce Wachtell has been living under the name Bryce Danner.
21:29So he let you and his wife think they were being terrorized by an ex-boyfriend, but if I'm following,
21:35the more likely scenario is...
21:37Someone who realizes he's on the run from the triad.
21:52You say something.
21:54I can't believe I mentioned Santa Clara last night.
21:58I'm sorry.
22:00I was scared. I am scared. I just, I...
22:03Start from the beginning. Tell me everything.
22:0415 years ago, I was living in San Francisco.
22:07I was doing tax work with a partner. Same as now.
22:12One of our clients was this chain of car washes.
22:16They had an unusual corporate structure, but they paid their bills, paid their taxes.
22:21Bryce, they were a triad business. You were helping them launder their money.
22:24They were laundering their money.
22:26We had no idea we were in bed with the triads.
22:29We only ever met the guy who, on paper, owned the car washes.
22:33Then one day this triad gangster shows up at the office.
22:37He's pissed off. He's, he's accusing us of stealing almost a million dollars.
22:41Did you?
22:41No.
22:42But when we looked at it, the, the business had a hole in its books.
22:46That money was disappearing into a shell company.
22:49Shadow Blade Enterprises.
22:51Josh and I had never even heard of it.
22:53Believe me, a name that stupid we would have remembered.
22:55I take it, the guy that stabbed you, he didn't believe you, right?
22:59I'm 99.9% sure the guy who stabbed me was embezzling the money himself.
23:03That might have been able to prove it if he hadn't gotten himself killed in some gang war before I
23:08got out of the hospital.
23:10I was there for a while.
23:13Liver transplant.
23:14Okay.
23:16After I got out, Josh and I went on the run.
23:19We, we moved out here.
23:20Helped each other create new identities.
23:23I'm sorry.
23:24Josh lives in the area too.
23:26Yeah.
23:27And obviously he knows your real name is Bryce Wachtel.
23:29Trust me.
23:30He is not the one doing this to us.
23:32Would Molly agree?
23:35Molly doesn't, um, know about any of this.
23:38She's never heard of Josh or Bryce Wachtel.
23:42When she and I first met, I had only been here for a couple of months.
23:45And I was worried if I told her the truth, I would lose her.
23:48Bryce.
23:48I understand not wanting to scare her back then.
23:50But now?
23:52Letting her think that the guy that lit your car on fire was her ex?
23:55I did think it was him.
23:57At first.
23:58But then last night, whoever it is, didn't just put bullets in Henry's glove.
24:03There was a thumb drive too.
24:05I had all of my medical records from San Francisco, my surgery, my real name.
24:09It was all there.
24:10Who has access to these records?
24:11Out here, uh, my GP.
24:15I told him a long time ago that the name change was for business reasons.
24:18It didn't bump him.
24:20I have a copy at my office and, uh, and Josh has one.
24:25He was my emergency contact.
24:27It was in case anything went wrong with the transplant.
24:29But I repeat, he would never do this to us.
24:33Josh is in as much danger from the triad as I am.
24:37Two things.
24:39You give me the thumb drive.
24:41You tell Molly the truth.
24:44That she deserves to know she has nothing to do with this.
24:51Alright.
24:56Now, Brooks, come on.
24:57You gotta step towards your target, okay?
25:00Okay, go back in there now?
25:05Uh, yeah, I'd give him another minute.
25:10So this is everything that you have on the thumb drive?
25:12Yeah, it's 22 pages of Price's medical records.
25:15There you go.
25:17And this is helpful how?
25:20Page 16.
25:22Page 16.
25:25What am I missing?
25:26Coffee ring.
25:27I mean, maybe it was there whenever whoever left the thumb drive scanned the original.
25:32So you go to Bryce's doctor and his pal Josh and see which one has a copy with a coffee
25:37ring on the same page.
25:38I'm open.
25:39Yeah.
25:41Small detail.
25:42Last time I checked, PIs don't have subpoena power, so how are you gonna get them to show you their
25:46copies?
25:46Wish is gonna help me with the doctor tomorrow, but Josh, now living under the name Sonny Tedescu, is gonna
25:51be a bit trickier.
25:52Bryce didn't have a current address, so I gotta dig one up.
25:56Hmm.
25:58Mom, check it out!
25:59Hmm?
26:00Uncle RJ's teaching me how to make cheesecake.
26:02Wow.
26:03He didn't even use a cookbook.
26:04Well, no, it sort of reminds me of this famous prison recipe I know.
26:08It doesn't have to be baked or refrigerated so inmates can make it using ingredients they find in the canteen.
26:12Cheesecake is cheesecake, am I right?
26:15Ooh, your date! I'll get it!
26:18Sophia, it's not my date.
26:20Not even close to my date.
26:23Amazing. And that's when my father decided that RJ got him in the divorce.
26:31Which reminds me, he texted us the other day, asked how the house hunt was going.
26:36Uh, well, poorly, if I'm being honest.
26:41But that's mostly because my not-a-side hustle has been keeping me busy.
26:45But I repeat, this is all just temporary.
26:48You will be visiting me somewhere new very soon.
26:51Not that we're in any rush.
26:57So, I mean, as long as he's around, I think you ought to make him cook more often.
27:02Yeah.
27:02Yeah.
27:03Well, you know what? I really do hate to dine and dash, but I've gotta get back to the course.
27:09Should I walk you out?
27:10Actually, Mel, could you?
27:13Mm-hmm.
27:14I mean, you know, it's just a-a paperwork thing.
27:25It's not a paperwork thing.
27:28Yeah, no, I-I'm a detective. I, uh, I detected that.
27:34I don't want to create problems, but I couldn't help picking up that you don't exactly love him living here.
27:41I didn't say that.
27:42No, you did not.
27:43But, if that's how you feel, I just want you to know that you can call me.
27:48And you would?
27:49I would tell RJ that I think he needs a different situation.
27:54I want the best for everyone that I supervise.
27:58I'm rooting for all of them.
27:59But successful reintegration into society is complicated.
28:04And it shouldn't cost others their own happy home.
28:09You decide you want him gone?
28:12Give me a call.
28:13I'll be the bad guy and no one else would need to know.
28:16Call it a professional curse.
28:21Good night.
28:44How'd it go?
28:44Well, you win some, you lose some.
28:48Your client's doctor was unwilling to prescribe human growth hormone to satisfy my curiosity on what might grow when you
28:55take it.
28:56Okay.
28:57On the other hand...
28:58Hey, you got the file. Good work.
29:02Yeah, a little lady running the records room had to abandon her station when a toilet in the restroom very
29:07mysteriously began to overflow.
29:13Is that not the copy you're looking for?
29:15No.
29:16No.
29:16No coffee ring on page 16.
29:18Plus, every one of these pages is marked for internal use only.
29:21They must have done that when the doctor took Bryce on as a patient.
29:24All right.
29:25So, wherever the blackmailer laid his hands on Bryce's records...
29:28Yeah, he didn't do it here.
29:29Okay.
29:31Hey, Kath, what's up?
29:32Hey, I was in our assignment meeting at the Herald this morning when a familiar thing popped up.
29:37Sonny Tedesco?
29:38He's your client's old friend from San Francisco, right?
29:41Yeah.
29:41I mean, well, Bryce thinks they were friends.
29:43I'm not so sure he isn't the blackmailer, though.
29:45Yeah, he isn't.
29:46He was executed out in sunrise this morning, gunned down in his doorway.
29:50What?
29:50Whoever did it wrote the Chinese symbol for a thief on the house.
29:54I thought you wanted to let your client know.
29:56Looks like someone brought the triad to town.
30:12Bryce, jeez, you scared me.
30:17Guys?
30:18You the one that's been doing this, Alan?
30:19Did you give Josh up to the triad?
30:22Who to the what now?
30:24Josh.
30:25My friend!
30:26Josh!
30:27Did you have him killed?
30:28Was it some sort of a warning to me?
30:30Why?
30:31Bryce, please.
30:32I don't understand.
30:33Bryce was keeping medical records in the cabinet over there.
30:36They're connected to everything that's going on between him and his family.
30:40We came in here this morning to get them.
30:42They're gone.
30:43I don't understand.
30:44Medical records?
30:45Bryce, buddy, this is crazy.
30:47I would never do anything to hurt you.
30:48You're the only one who's in this office unaccompanied.
30:51What are you talking about?
30:52Bryce.
30:52No one else even has a key.
30:54Bryce, wait.
30:54Stop.
30:55That door jam looks like it was repaired pretty recently.
30:59So what?
30:59So was there a break in it here?
31:01If there had been, do you think I wouldn't have mentioned it to you?
31:04He's right.
31:04What?
31:05That's not from a break in it.
31:06It was the firefighters.
31:08What?
31:08What firefighters?
31:10It was like a month ago when you were up in DC for that conference.
31:13Some kids got into the storefront downstairs one night, let off some fireworks as a prank.
31:17When I got in in the morning, there were firemen all over.
31:20They forced their way in to make sure no embers got in.
31:22Why didn't you tell me about that?
31:25I don't know.
31:25Why would I?
31:26I called a handyman.
31:27He fixed the jam.
31:28That was it.
31:28Who cares?
31:29If you don't believe me, go downstairs and see for yourself.
31:35These idiot kids could have burned down the whole building.
31:38I'm not so sure it was kids.
31:41All this could have been staged as cover for someone to get upstairs and go through your files.
31:46The guy who's been tormenting us.
31:48If he was the one that busted through the door, there'd be no way to tell after the firefighters came
31:52through.
31:52Yeah, that's one possibility.
31:54Is there another one?
31:55What if the guy that was trying to get upstairs was one of the firefighters?
32:01Position!
32:02Position!
32:03Alright, we've got one down.
32:04Play it first.
32:05Here we go.
32:05Look alive, Brooks.
32:07Charge it!
32:07Charge it!
32:08Charge it!
32:08Play!
32:09Finish the play!
32:09The first!
32:10Yeah!
32:11That'll win a B!
32:12That'll win a B!
32:17Yeah, I'd like to go with this.
32:18You got it.
32:20You got it.
32:20Hey, baby, baby!
32:22All right, guys.
32:24Everything all right?
32:25Yeah, I just want to let you know, Bryce and his family, they won't be there when you get home
32:30tonight.
32:31You find the person who's messing with them?
32:34That man was speaking.
32:35Yeah, he did.
32:38How long you been a firefighter, Vince?
32:42Yeah, I saw your t-shirt yesterday.
32:45Fort Lauderdale's Bravies.
32:46It had the logo on everything.
32:48Yeah, you lit that car on fire the other night.
32:51And later you came back with the rest of your company and put it out.
32:55All so you could walk through the front door in a respirator.
32:58Leave the blackmailed the man without anyone noticing.
33:00Hey, Denny!
33:01Get your glove down!
33:03Pulled the same trick so you could get into Bryce's office a month ago.
33:07Saw some fireworks, your company would get called in.
33:10Obviously, that's when you got his medical records.
33:13Were you looking for him?
33:15Did you already have an idea that Bryce wasn't who he said he was?
33:18Something about Bryce just never had it up.
33:21So what?
33:21You went looking for secrets?
33:23You hit the mother load?
33:24See, what I don't understand what Bryce doesn't understand is why.
33:27Why?
33:29He says you guys weren't close to his pals through coaching.
33:31But this?
33:31This is something you do to someone you hate.
33:34That a boy!
33:35That's what I'm talking about.
33:36That right there.
33:37You see that?
33:38Brooks is a natural shortstop.
33:41Not an outfielder.
33:43Shortstop.
33:46Ben, so you're saying you did all this so Brooks could take over Henry's position?
33:50Is that what you're saying?
33:51Don't get me wrong.
33:52Okay, Henry, he's a huge talent, but he could play anywhere.
33:55Shortstop is for Brooks.
33:58You know how early kids get scouted these days?
34:02And I don't mean pros.
34:04I'm talking traveling teams, sports academies, even some colleges.
34:08The places that put you on the path to the pros.
34:12No way should Bryce get to take that away from my son.
34:18So what, you go and kill his ex-partner?
34:20Yeah, that's right.
34:21I know you didn't stick to try it on him.
34:24I know you killed him yourself.
34:26The paint you used to drive the symbol on his house was the same paint used on the Danners' garage.
34:32The Danners were told to run.
34:35Hell, I took the vince of them.
34:36They could hear me telling them, guys, I'd run.
34:40But they had you in their ear, telling them that you'd help.
34:45Maybe they needed to see what could happen.
34:47Yeah.
34:51It's funny.
34:53I wonder why you just didn't take this all to the cops.
34:58Right.
34:59You can't.
35:01Because you'd know the first thing that I'd start talking about who Bryce really is.
35:07Loud.
35:09So loud, they'd hear it all the way in San Francisco.
35:16Jenny, come on.
35:17Don't be afraid of the ball.
35:18He ain't gonna hop up and bite you.
35:38I didn't mean to scare you, but I have to tell you something.
35:41Well, if it's that you're moving out, I promise my heart will go on.
35:44No, it's not that.
35:52So, this firefighter, you like him for the murder out in sunrise this morning.
35:57But we even question him about it, and he'll start screaming from the rafters that your client has a triad
36:04bounty on his head.
36:05Yeah, that's right.
36:06That'll get him killed, his wife, his kids.
36:09And yet...
36:10And yet he killed someone.
36:11Mm-hmm.
36:12Somebody barely knew.
36:14For no reason.
36:15If you were hoping, I would know some way to put this guy away and keep him quiet.
36:20But you're right.
36:22What this guy did, can't stand.
36:26I have a friend.
36:27Exwood Sec.
36:28She might have some ideas on how to help the family.
36:30No, no, no.
36:31They shouldn't have to relocate.
36:32That's the thing.
36:34That'd be like asking you and Kath and Sophia to relocate.
36:39And what they have, what you have.
36:41And no one should be able to take that away from them.
36:43No one...
36:49And yet...
36:50Try it.
36:52Yeah.
36:53Think about what it would be like for your clients.
36:55Seeing those guys in your sleep for the rest of your life.
36:58How would you do any of the things you want to do, knowing they could be around the next corner?
37:07Yeah.
37:09How would you do the things you want to do?
37:21Over here.
37:28I'll admit, I was surprised to hear from you this morning.
37:31I thought we said all we had to say yesterday.
37:35Well, you know, I thought that conversation was a little one-sided.
37:40Plus, I wanted to show you these.
37:41Take a seat.
37:48Oh, Jesus.
37:50Yeah.
37:50Crime scene photos.
37:52Different guys in different parts of the country, all killed by triad execution squads.
38:00They are a creative bunch, aren't they?
38:04See these two?
38:08They were killed in prison. That's important, Vince.
38:11Because that's where you're going.
38:15I thought I made myself pretty clear yesterday.
38:18I get arrested.
38:19You tell the world, Bryce Danner.
38:21It's really Bryce Wachtell, I know.
38:23Thing is, you do that, your picture's going to end up in here, too.
38:28I'm not the one they think stole a million bucks.
38:30Oh, but you will be.
38:31That's the other thing I wanted to show you.
38:36Take a look.
38:40What the hell is Shadowblade Enterprises?
38:42It's a company you've owned for almost 15 years now.
38:45The same company that stole that million bucks from the triad
38:47back when Bryce and his old partner were doing their books.
38:50I've never even set foot in San Francisco.
38:52You haven't.
38:53You have.
38:55At least according to these papers.
38:58You have.
39:01You really think I'm afraid of a bunch of phony-ass papers?
39:04You should be.
39:06Because if there's one thing this whole nightmare has made Bryce very, very good at,
39:10it's falsifying tax and legal documents.
39:12Think about it.
39:13All the stuff he had to whip up to start a new life out here.
39:16All the forms.
39:16My friend.
39:17She's a police detective.
39:19She says this is some of the best work she's ever seen.
39:24Actually, she's sitting right over there.
39:30You see, in a minute you're gonna walk over there,
39:32you're gonna confess to killing Bryce's old partner in Sunrise yesterday.
39:35You can say it was for...
39:37reasons.
39:39Whatever.
39:40Anything but the truth.
39:42Because this is important, Vince.
39:44You say one word about Bryce.
39:47Anything happens to him or his family.
39:49A copy of these documents gets sent to a lawyer in San Francisco.
39:53A lawyer with serious ties to the triad.
40:04There you go.
40:08There you go.
40:16.
40:18.
40:21No, no.
40:30Henry seems good.
40:32You know, kids are resilient.
40:33I don't know why I can't wrap my head around it,
40:35and a third base coach is a psychopath.
40:37Man, could he run a good practice?
40:39Yeah.
40:40How's Molly doing?
40:42She was getting there, and she didn't love finding out
40:44I hid all that stuff from him, but she understands, honestly.
40:48Speaking of wives, where's your ex's better half?
40:52I don't know. Good question.
40:55Hey, everybody having a good time?
40:57Oh, great time.
40:59And yet, here you are, away from the group.
41:02Mm-hmm.
41:04Want to talk about my offer?
41:05I do, actually.
41:07I wanted to say thanks, but no thanks.
41:10You sure?
41:15No.
41:17But you know how they say you can't pick your family?
41:21I don't think you can unpick them, either.
