00:00Previously on RJ Decker
00:02Don't try to eat it through the wrapper
00:03Today could be the last day of my trial
00:04Meaning I could be going home in a few hours
00:06Or you could be going to prison
00:08Or I'm told candy bars are in short supply
00:10But I can think of something an even shorter supply
00:14Next witness, Lucas is my stepbrother
00:17And that's the man who almost killed him
00:19Mostly just came to see if we're even now
00:21What's your obsession with us getting even? What is that?
00:23If we get even too fast
00:25There won't be any reason for me to call you anymore
00:27Is that what you want?
00:42What?
00:43What? No, it's good
00:44No, it's a punctuation thing
00:47The, uh, bop bop bop
00:48There's a lot of them
00:49The Amdash's? Oh, I like them
00:51They soothe the story
00:53They're a bit aggressive
00:54Commas might give you a better flow
00:56The story's about a blind priest who tried to broker a truce
00:58Between MS-13 and the Latin case
01:00I don't need it to flow
01:01I need it to, like, grab the reader and shake them
01:03What?
01:04You do this every time
01:05You ask people to prove your stuff
01:06And then you argue every point
01:08Only the dumb ones
01:09Sophia!
01:10Lift off in five minutes
01:12Oh!
01:13Look at you!
01:14Earning your key
01:14Proofing my wife's article
01:15So I don't have to
01:16What do you mean?
01:17Did she bite your head off yet?
01:18Pretty much, yeah
01:19Hey mom!
01:19Harper and Violet just texted
01:21They're going to a kid's spa on Saturday for mani-puddies and facials
01:24And I'm invited
01:25I'm sorry, did you say kid's spa?
01:27Isn't a spa for children?
01:29Can I go?
01:29No, but you're busy Saturday
01:31You're volunteering at the dog rescue
01:32But can't I just skip it this one time?
01:35You made a commitment
01:35We keep our commitments around here
01:37Go get your bag
01:39Oh my goodness, take it easy on him
01:42He's got so little going for him in life
01:49Uh, dashes or commas?
01:52It's good
01:56Hey, how are ya?
01:58What are you wearing?
01:59Excuse me?
02:00Don't get excited
02:01I'm asking because I may have a job for you
02:04Change your shirt and meet me at the address I'm about to send you
02:07Why do I have to change my shirt?
02:09Because these people have money and refinement
02:11And the last time they saw a grown man wearing an Aloha shirt
02:14He was probably cleaning their pool
02:18Okay
02:20Who needs you to change your shirt?
02:22Oh, uh, Wish
02:23Yeah, you might have a new client for me
02:25Thinks I need to look nice
02:27Wish, who last time I saw him was wearing a shirt with a metal detector on it
02:30And the words beach better have my money
02:33Man's got layers
02:43Hey
02:44Welcome to the humble abode of the Carter family
02:46Carter?
02:48Oh, is it Carter Rehab?
02:50Got it in one
02:51Huh
02:52In addition to owning the biggest chain of drug rehab centers in Florida
02:56Ed Carter also funded a wing at the Institute of Contemporary Art
02:59Gonna go out on a limb and say he's also one of your dad's biggest donors
03:02He is
03:03And so when the family realized they needed help with a sensitive issue
03:07They came to me
03:08I told them it was a job for a very dependable, very discreet private investigator
03:13Do good work
03:14Okay
03:14Do it quietly
03:15I can virtually guarantee they'll be back for more
03:18Okay
03:18Background checks, security gags, due diligence, and they'll pay top dollar
03:21This shirt, this is the upgrade?
03:23Let's go hear about this sensitive issue, shall we?
03:31That's Holden
03:32He lives in Naples, but stays with us whenever family business requires it
03:36So usually it's just you and your dad here?
03:38He sends his regards, by the way
03:40He's wrapping up some work in Orlando, but we are both worried about Holden
03:44He didn't come home last night, and he isn't responding to calls or texts
03:47So you're moving pretty quickly, bringing someone like me on
03:49Can I ask why?
03:51The more he knows, the more he can help
03:55Holden has struggled with drug addiction for years
03:57My father and I think he may have relapsed
03:59Relapsed?
04:01So he had gotten clean at some point
04:03A little over 18 months ago
04:04He went to a facility in Switzerland for the first six months
04:06Then came back to Florida
04:08Since then he has been working as a rehab counselor in one of our Naples clinics
04:13It's not like him to be out of touch, at least not now that he's sober
04:17Your job is to find Holden quickly and quietly
04:20If he has relapsed, Mr. Carter doesn't want the police involved
04:24Too much chance of the story breaking to the media
04:26I understand, and I want to help
04:28The best place for me to start is with whoever saw him last
04:31I dropped Holden off at the community center a little before 1600
04:35Support group meeting
04:36So you knew about his history with addiction?
04:39Ten years working for the Carters, they don't keep any secrets from me
04:41I drive Holden whenever he's in town
04:43I waited up front like I usually do
04:45Ninety mikes later, everybody comes out except for Holden
04:48I went inside, but no sign of him
04:50How'd he seem to use him yesterday?
04:52Honestly, I was relieved he wanted to get to a meeting
04:55He seemed distracted, a little down
04:58Any read on what was bothering him?
04:59He's pretty tight-lipped
05:00That's part of why I was worried about him
05:02You served, huh?
05:04Sixteen hundred ninety mikes to tell time like a soldier
05:07Not a soldier
05:09I'm worried
05:09Oh, okay
05:12Is that why Ed Carter chose you to drive his son?
05:16Well, if the high-profile family
05:17Maybe there are security threats I should know about
05:19Sorry, no
05:21The biggest danger to Holden has always been Holden
05:25Got it
05:27Community center where you dropped him off
05:28Can I get the address?
05:30Yeah, yeah, he looks familiar
05:32He would have come in around 4 p.m. yesterday
05:34Headed for the rec room
05:35But we think he went out a different way
05:36Remember the back or the side entrance?
05:38When I was out there I saw you at camp
05:39Hold on, it's 4 p.m.
05:41In the rec room?
05:42Yeah, he was here for an NA meeting
05:43Just forget I said our song
05:44And if you're about to ask to look at the security footage
05:46Don't even bother
05:47Anyone our cameras caught coming in for that meeting
05:50Is entitled to their privacy, okay?
05:52End of story
05:52I get that
05:53My sister is 5 years sober, okay?
05:56And anonymity is crucial to the work
05:58I'm here because his sister thinks he might be in trouble
06:01Like real trouble
06:01Look, I get that you don't want me looking at the footage
06:04But you said you were here yesterday
06:06Yeah, so?
06:07So you already saw everyone that came in here for the meeting
06:12Your guy didn't use a side exit
06:15Check the rear door
06:21Looks like he came out the back right before the meeting would have started
06:23He's making a call
06:26Now he's talking to someone
06:27Who? Who's he talking to?
06:29Someone walked up
06:29I can't see who they're off camera
06:31But
06:33He's a guy
06:33He looks a little
06:36Not in the world
06:37Can I turn around now, please?
06:39Yeah, I think that would be good
06:41What the hell is that?
06:45In case you're wondering
06:47Not one of the 12 steps
07:03Do you think it's a sex thing?
07:04Well, this being Florida
07:06The answer to that question should almost always be maybe
07:08But no, I'm more worried it could be an abduction thing
07:11Abduction?
07:12Do you see how the big guy keeps his arm pointed at Holden?
07:14It occurred to me that wearing that costume might be a good way to conceal a gun
07:17Yeah, well, you need to be sure
07:19I'm not about to tell Naomi maybe her brother was kidnapped by a furry
07:24It's a slimy actually
07:25I did a little image searching and realized it's the costume for Sammy the Sea Cucumber
07:29Masked off of Rio Vista Prep
07:30Huh
07:31From what?
07:32That's where Holden went to high school
07:33Maybe the guy in the costume was just an old buddy pulling a prank?
07:37According to the school's athletic schedule, Sammy's due to make an appearance today
07:41I'll let you know what he has to say
07:57Sammy, my name's RJ Decker, I'm a private investigator
08:01I'd like to ask you a few questions if I could
08:04Sammy, hi
08:08A bit of a time-sensitive issue, maybe you can take a break
08:11Come on
08:12Sammy, I have reason to believe a man was abducted at gunpoint last night
08:16You are my top suspect
08:20Sam!
08:21You have a seatbelt!
08:27Sorry about before
08:29I fully commit to Sammy when I'm a costume
08:31You do bring him to life
08:33Mhm
08:35That isn't me
08:36Sammy worked a swimmer yesterday, which means I worked a swimmer yesterday
08:39There's no chance someone could have borrowed your costume
08:42Are you kidding?
08:44That costume's totally different
08:48No hat
08:49Look at the Sammy in the video
08:52Hmm
08:53What is that, like a sailor's cap?
08:55Mhm
08:56That's Sammy, circa 2012
08:57That costume was retired
08:58Substant Sammies were hatless
09:00Thank goodness
09:01I don't know how I'd play with a hat
09:03Any idea where someone could have gotten their hands on the 2012 costume?
09:07Honestly, I assumed it was destroyed after the flagpole incident
09:10Flagpole incident?
09:11Some rich kid hoisted Sammy up on the flagpole
09:13With the performer inside
09:15And left him there every night
09:17The costume was soiled beyond salvage
09:20Hmm
09:20What?
09:21The guy I'm trying to find
09:22He went to school here around that time
09:24He was definitely a rich kid
09:26You think that was Sammy 2012 exacting some crazy revenge?
09:29You wouldn't happen to know that Sammy's real name, would you?
09:32Ricky Strom
09:32He wore the green from 2008 to 2012
09:39Hi
09:40We brought you an afternoon treat
09:42You guys
09:43What a nice surprise
09:45The people I arrest, they never bring me boba
09:48Mom, guess what?
09:49Hmm?
09:50I'm going to the spa with Harper and Violet after all
09:52Yeah?
09:53We went over this
09:54You have dog rescue Saturday
09:55Not anymore
09:56Katherine fixed it
09:58Fixed it?
09:59I called the rescuer and asked if we could shift Sophia's commitments next weekend
10:02So she'll volunteer two days instead of just one
10:04Self care this weekend, dog care next
10:07That's great
10:08And did Harper and Violet mention how much all those spa treatments are going to cost?
10:12Oh, Katherine took care of that too
10:13Thank you
10:14We talked it all through
10:15She gets us a one-time thing
10:17Mm-hmm
10:17I mean, spa Saturdays will not become the new norm
10:20Mm-mm
10:21Yeah, Mom
10:22Relax
10:22Mmm
10:23Enjoy your boba
10:25What about that?
10:27Um
10:29Will this cover all three?
10:31No
10:32No, no, no, no
10:32It's only fair
10:32You get the spa day
10:34I get the boba
10:37This was great
10:38Mm-mm
10:39But Mommy's got to get back to work
10:40I'll see you at home
10:42See ya
10:52Okay
10:52Okay, so to be clear
10:53This is the house of the gentleman you believe dressed up as a sea cucumber to kidnap this high school
11:01bully at gunpoint
11:02Yeah
11:03Wow
11:04Florida just keeps giving and giving
11:07This is the van in the driveway
11:08It's the same one I saw Holden Carter get into at the community center
11:12You still want me to just hang back?
11:13Yes
11:14Hang back
11:14You're only here to call the cops if anything goes sideways
11:17I gotta say
11:18A violent turn would almost be worth the headline
11:20Mm-hmm
11:20Private eye and sexy lotto winner gunned down by a marine invertebrate

12:16to me okay they must have kidnapped him well for the man abducted from his own abduction
12:22it's it's another good headline
12:34i looked everywhere no sign of holden i told you whoever broke in here and attacked me must
12:39have taken him guys come on you think i'm gonna hit myself in the head tie myself up stranger
12:45things have happened ricky a six-foot cucumber committing an armed abduction for example okay
12:50first i wasn't armed i just pretended to have a gun second in a certain light it wasn't an
12:57abduction it was more of a prank like flying a guy in a mascot costume up a flagpole
13:06you know what holden did to me
13:10i was stuck up there all night i'd had a lot of water like a lot of water the next
13:18morning
13:19half the school saw me humiliated exhausted
13:24wet
13:26it ended my mascot career because every time i tried to put on the costume after that i'd have
13:31a panic attack i've been offered a full ride to the university of central florida i was going to
13:36take over as nitro you were going to wear the golden helmet coming out of ucf i could have had
13:40my
13:40pick mickey gritty benny the bull a few days ago i saw on holden social media that he was in
13:47town
13:48he kept posting about his sobriety how great he was doing yesterday i just i don't know snapped
13:55i dug up my sammy costume i wait outside the carter house and i tailed him to the community center
14:00how do you know he was going to come right back out as soon as he went in i didn't
14:03i was just
14:04looking for a place to hide when i saw him talking on the phone to someone he seemed i don't
14:08know
14:08nervous they were trying to figure out a place to meet i only brought him here to make him
14:12understand that what he did to me that night mattered but then the craziest thing happened
14:17some mystery man showed up and ruined all your fun no i'm talking about before that
14:26holden he just listened let me say everything that i needed to say then he apologized and i could
14:35tell it wasn't about me letting him go it was about real regret he told me about how devoted he
14:40was
14:40to his sobriety how important making amends is and he asked if i would forgive him
14:47and i did
14:50he asked if he could use my phone i went into the kitchen to get it and then bam i'm
14:54hit from
14:55behind everything goes black and i know that it wasn't holden because i was looking right at him
14:59when it happened maybe it was some friend of holden's tracked him here rescued him if it was a
15:04rescue and it turned up by now you said when you walked up to him that he was on the
15:09phone that he
15:09seemed nervous oh you think maybe he was talking to the person who hit me would help if you had
15:15holden's phone because i i know where it is or sort of i could help you find it
15:24i was worried that someone might use his phone to locate him so i told him to toss it out
15:28the van
15:28window
15:31it's a bag of chips man you're right
15:36are you sure this is the right stretch of road i think so i was still in costume and sammy's
15:42range
15:42of vision is subpar sure oh found it you got it yeah okay it's like a lot of missed calls
15:5310 calls
15:54from laomi carter and 47 calls from a guy named rico delaware does that name mean anything to you
15:59no i've never heard of him but 47 calls he was that desperate to reach holden yeah maybe he was
16:05desperate enough to come and find him last night
16:19i'm sorry i know i screwed up i shouldn't have made this body happen for sophia
16:26but she was so excited and it was easy for you three four hundred dollars for a couple hours of
16:32self-care it's no problem right please don't be this way what way poor you are not poor no but
16:39i

17:28the spa day i'll sign off on it okay as long as we split it yeah sure whatever you want
17:50hey you get my message about the mascot and holden's phone i did guy that called 47 times rico
17:56delaware turns out he's a street artist has spent some time at one of the carter rehab clinics
18:00apparently he didn't have a good experience because he went to war with them last year he put up a
18:04bunch
18:04of anti-carter graffiti all over town rj i mean 47 calls to a member of a family you hate
18:09that's
18:09got to be harassment maybe even a prelude to a kidnapping we find rico delaware maybe we find
18:14holden rj holden has been found oh okay where where was he some little motel motel downtown housekeeper
18:22came in to clean the room found him with a needle in his arm he overdosed i just identified his
18:29body for
18:45carter he's been like that for hours when holden was little he was the apple of dad's eye and nothing
18:51was too good for holden so you can imagine how much it hurt dad when drugs came into the picture
18:58especially given the family business call it ironic if all the papers didn't already do it years
19:04ago on the subject of media my office has been in steady contact with the fltd regarding messaging
19:10we don't see any reasons for the specifics of holden's passing to go public thank you and thank you for
19:16trying to help us i've already sold your account for your services plus a bonus for your continued
19:22discretion oh uh i appreciate that but my discretion is part of the package i'm always sorry we couldn't
19:28find holden sooner
19:32miss carter i'm sorry i have to ask did holden ever mention anything about harassing phone calls i'm
19:37sorry when i found his phone i saw there was a bunch of calls from rico delaware i assume you
19:42know
19:43their name that has to be a mistake the man hates my family he wouldn't have been in holden's phone
19:48holden never mentioned any business he needed to attend to that wasn't related to the clinics
19:53anyone he was planning to meet today went missing no nobody do you understand any of this
19:57naomi sorry can you excuse us for a moment
20:02what do you think you're doing i think i'm asking questions about a death i find a little suspicious
20:08what's so suspicious about a drug addict dying of an overdose ricky strong described the guy
20:13utterly devoted to his sobriety then a few hours later his dad monody i'm sorry are you talking
20:18about the lunatic who dressed up like a vegetable to kidnap him there were two kidnappings one from
20:23the community center one from ricky strong's house you're on drugs right now listen to me something
20:27was going on with holden that day something completely incidental to whatever ricky did he clearly had
20:31no intention of going to that support group and he went in one door out the other but on the
20:34phone
20:35with somebody outside trying to figure out a place to meet his dealer rj he was calling his dealer
20:39this is a tragedy okay not a mystery can you think of a better way to murder someone with a
20:43history of
20:43drug abuse and a staged overdose tell me no no i want you to tell me no more these people
20:48are as
20:48mortified by holden's death as they are devastated they want to preserve his memory they want to move

22:42a few questions about your relationship with holden carter what's a pi care about me and him
22:47a lot actually mostly because he was found dead last night
22:56people like me people like holden number of times you'll be stuck a needle in our arm and never wake
23:05up i do think i'd be used to it by now and not messes me up every time
23:12that's the reason why i wanted to talk to you rico i'm not sure holden put that needle in his
23:16arm
23:16himself you think someone killed him you think i killed him it was no secret you had a grudge against
23:23the
23:23carter family my grudge is with ed carter the way he runs his business me and holden we were cool
23:31a while back holden reached out to me he wanted to meet to talk about my experience with carter reham
23:41i obliged told him about recruiters pulling 5k ahead for addicts with primo insurance about how the
23:48facilities are straight up turnstiles how no one gives a crap if you get sober just so long as the
23:54insurance keeps paying this one guy i knew he went through four rounds of that the fourth time
24:03he od'd right there in the clinic you ever try talking to the cops oh yeah you tell me when
24:07police
24:08start listening to junkies former or otherwise and holden how did he take everything you told him
24:13he was upset you know what he said that he'd take it all to his old man how'd that conversation
24:18come
24:19i don't know all right i figured i said my piece i gave him some space yeah well i happen
24:23to know
24:23you called him 47 times the other night and how's that giving him space me and holden we stayed in
24:29contact he wanted me to stay clean i wanted him to stay clean the other night all i could think
24:35about
24:36was getting high so you called holden yeah when i couldn't reach him i freaked i kept calling
24:42but then i said to myself you know what he would say get your ass to a meeting and so
24:46i did
24:47my sister drove me there and back this is her number if you want to call her it's okay it's
24:55okay
24:55look as far as i've been able to tell holden it seemed like it was in a good place
25:00but i don't know what do you think every addict is just one bad day away from a slip
25:08but if you're right if someone did this to him then you need to catch him because trust me
25:19that is the last way he would have wanted to go
25:35r.j decker yeah agent jacob koop irs criminal investigation division wow you shouldn't have
25:45run it up my mileage on that last tax return actually i want to talk to you about the work
25:49you've been doing for the uh carter family well if you know the kind of work i do you know
25:54i can't
25:54talk about my clients i can't even confirm the people you're talking about are my clients well i'll
26:00just cut to the chase and see i'm here because i don't think holden carter's overdose was an
26:04accident i think someone forced him to shoot up probably gunpoint
26:11well i don't think i'll be violating confidentiality to tell you i've been
26:15thinking the same thing oh good you want to come inside you want to compare notes no i'd love to
26:18talk but not here someplace public all right you know f-time station i'll find it why do we have
26:25to go somewhere public to talk about holden carter well because i think you're the one that killed
26:35him crazy day you accuse a guy of murder he ends up introducing you to the best burger you've had
26:40in years not that it's alleviating any suspicion i get it ex-con takes money from a shady family
26:4524 hours later that family's black sheep winds up dead i take a look at me too coroner's report
26:50says holden died between 7 and 9 p.m two nights ago can you account for your whereabouts oh i
26:55can
26:56but first i'd like to confirm a few of my suspicions naomi carter paid me electronically
27:01this morning by the afternoon i'm getting a visit from you which tells me the irs is monitoring the
27:06family's accounts and since you work in criminal investigations ain't your standard audit you've
27:11been looking into something bigger something that now includes holden's death well i can neither
27:16confirm nor deny it's something we're required to say when someone's got us dead to rights holden was
27:23looking into some pretty dark corners of the family business i think he was gonna have a talk
27:27with his dad i think he did but it went poorly so poorly in fact his next step was reaching
27:31out to
27:31the irs which makes me wonder if it was you he was planning on meeting when he snuck out of
27:35a
27:35support group meeting the other day well i can neither confirm or deny this either holden was
27:41gonna whistle well i'm just gonna take down carter rehab because unlike his dad he actually cares
27:46about addicts getting better those whereabouts you were gonna account for um computer records
27:51prove i was home all night what it's gonna take me days to subpoena those records that's good it'll
27:56give us both more time to prove his dad was mine what happened to him the premise that you killed
28:01holden but might be willing to roll and his dad was all i had left and if that premise is
28:05wrong
28:05then i have nothing and if i have nothing trust me you've got less than nothing
28:11ed carter's gonna get away with everything
28:18someone had a crappy day yeah someone did you want to join me for a beer yes i do
28:34thank you let me guess we're still unhappy about the way you're dressing
28:38mm-hmm he's the one i brought you the new client right
28:42mm-hmm touching by that second beer you had lined up i'm guessing you had a crappy day too
28:49mel and i had the money fight again
28:52oof yeah i pay for stuff when i can pay for stuff and she acts like i'm some eccentric millionaire
28:59back when you and i were together i pay more rent i pay for more meals out you're always okay
29:04with it
29:08wait you weren't okay with it i mean it's not like i wasn't okay with it it just took me
29:14a
29:14little while to get used to i like to pay my own way mel does too what nothing i just
29:21found out that
29:22i'm repeating an ugly pattern from my first failed marriage no biggie no you're not repeating anything
29:28unlike me mel said something that's not repetition that's progress
29:33but what do i do get in there she said something you say something back
29:44what my crappy day it ain't over yet
29:49hey what happened i was loading groceries in the van and some huge guy comes out of nowhere
29:55cold cocks me and snatches the phone you gave me and ran off he only took the phone yeah three
30:00of us
30:01are the only ones that knew mauricio had it so how would anyone know to track him down wish have
30:07you
30:07ever heard of find my phone it enables users to find their phone yeah but the owner's dead i'm sorry
30:14he's what did you get a look at him not really i mean he was white jack kind of like
30:20that area
30:20nation guy who was weirdly good at kickball you remember him wait oh that's not good what you got
30:28a dent in your face oh looks like a little lollipop with wings
30:37that ain't a lollipop it's a globe from the signet ring you got punched in the face by a marine
30:41you know who he is yeah i do i'm starting to think he's the one that killed holden carter
30:57are the cuffs really necessary you're suspecting a violent robbery
31:02did the officers who pull you over fail to make that clear they did
31:06and then i made it clear that they had the wrong guy and yet they found this
31:11property reported stolen by the victim in your car it belonged to the late holden carter son of
31:16your employer ed carter yes i'm thinking you were able to track it to the man you assaulted because
31:21you or ed or one of his other flunkies at carter rehab but spy were on the phone that let
31:26you see
31:27holden's movements maybe even read his emails and texts this is insane i found that phone under a car
31:33seat today obviously holden left it there i didn't beat anyone up to get it
31:40take a look at these and then take a look at that ring of yours
31:48sorry this guy must have pissed off a different marine how did ed take it when he heard holden
31:53slipped away the other night did he already know holden had a meeting with the irs
31:58i'm just a driver i have no idea what you're talking about
32:03you could tell from the spy were on the phone that holden exited the community center as soon
32:07as he entered it i'm guessing you got to the parking lot just as he got into a van
32:11with a man named ricky strom you followed them to mr strom's house and then you called daddy
32:17he got nervous thought maybe this was holden's irs contact so he told you it was time holden had to
32:24go give up your boss confess to staging holden's od maybe the state of florida won't put a needle in
32:31your arm go ahead charge me with this assault if you think it'll stick but if you want to talk
32:38to
32:38me again i'll come back with a lawyer mr carter will hire the best that money can buy
32:58and the best i could only thing that guy said in there that was even remotely true
33:03is ed carter's loaded just funny daughter hiring a p.i who works out of a pool house instead of
33:10some big
33:10white glove security firm yeah i don't know must select my website i guess
33:38what's too loud inside for this conversation yes because i need you to hear me i tried to do you
33:43a favor
33:44when i brought you to naomi now her father is threatening to cut off ties with mine that'd be
33:48bad right losing all that money ed carter's making not keeping addicts off drugs what are you talking
33:53about part of rehab doesn't want people getting better it's bad for business holden was about to
33:57blow the whistle if we open up the phone there's gonna be spyware on it that'll prove his dad knew
34:01he was talking to the irs if we open his phone you mean you don't know there's spyware it's locked
34:08can you think of another reason why ed sent his hat to man to get it back yesterday tell me
34:12wow i can't believe this i can't believe you accused ed carter of having his own son killed
34:17without any proof there's no proof there's no crime right isn't that the ochoa family motto
34:21look holden is dead a guy that died trying to be a better man to fight for people who needed
34:26help
34:27he was willing to go up against his own father not because it was easy because it was the right
34:31thing to do of course you wouldn't care about a guy like that next time you want to do me
34:36a favor
34:36don't do it i don't need business like yours
34:47i have to admit i was surprised to hear from you this morning it was pretty clear with your father
34:53i thought our families needed some time apart you were but he and i both felt we'd be remiss if
35:01we
35:01can at least try to apologize for mr decker's actions yesterday next time we'll do a better
35:07job bidding our referrals you're assuming they'll be next time i'm well aware we need to earn back your
35:13trust but that's why i brought you this holden's phone my office was able to get it back from the
35:22police it wasn't too difficult considering there was no crime they could actually connect it to but
35:27and given the scrutiny mr decker was inviting i thought you would value having it back
35:39if there's nothing else
35:46actually there is one more thing it was locked when we got it my father and i didn't want to
35:51assume you would know the password so we did you the favor of bringing it to one of our communications
35:55experts the intention was to give you access to holden's photo album all those precious memories
36:02but then our expert found something else someone was tracking holden's movements and reading his
36:08emails and text messages whoever it was they knew he was looking to go public with some very serious
36:16concerns about treatment practices at carter rehab you're suggesting i had anything to do with what
36:22happened to holden i'm not suggesting anything just hoping my family ends up back in your family's good
36:30graces because a man who would have his own son killed can never have too many friends can he
36:40tell your father when the time comes he'll have my support
36:50it's important to me that he knows that you both know holden wasn't supposed to die
36:55the plan was only to discredit him to make it so the feds couldn't take him seriously as a witness
37:02so all you really wanted to do was throw away all the hard work he did to get sober it
37:07was a mistake
37:09a terrible mistake
37:13naomi can i assume she played no part in this of course not she loved her brother
37:18i loved holden too i loved him as much as your father loves you
37:25i'm sure that's true
37:39how'd it go
37:42it's important to me that he knows that you both know holden wasn't supposed to die
37:47the plan was only to discredit him to make it so the feds couldn't take him seriously as a witness
37:54who gets this first
37:57my new friend at the irs i'll go see him after i drive you home
38:02actually i'll come with you and then i need a drink
38:21uh i didn't do all this
38:23you're early
38:24uh mel this is francis she writes the herald's financial advice column
38:29oh hey hi nice to meet you
38:33i uh was just leaving
38:38you have a lovely home
38:41thanks again francis
38:46is it terrible i'm relieved you weren't about to pitch a threesome
38:50a little but whatever
38:52come sit
38:55the real reason i had francis come over was to
39:01help me prepare a trip for you into the future for at least our financial future
39:11this line represents based on all sorts of variables that were frankly a little over my head
39:16my future income
39:19and this one
39:22predicts yours
39:24and what i'm looking at should
39:26make me as happy as you are because
39:28because between your gradual if inexorable ascension through the ranks of the flpd and the long sad death march that
39:35is print media francis has you passing me an annual take home pay no later than 2032 by 2042
39:42actually don't even look at 2042 the point is it's going to be a long marriage and our love will
39:50be a constant but our money that's going to be variable as hell
39:54so will you every once in a while let me be a little generous if i promise to be a
40:01financial drain on you in the years to come
40:03i'll do my best when i look forward to carrying your broke ass
40:112042
40:13it's dark
40:20ghost
40:23hola to you too mija
40:25i'm hungry

41:09good
41:12to holden
41:14to holden
41:18listen

41:20i i didn't like saying them but
41:22i'm glad they got through
41:24hold up
41:26you think i did what i did because of you
41:29did somebody else accuse you of choosing your dad's political career over doing the right
41:33thing yesterday
41:33oh i totally chose my dad's political career ed carter was a liability he had to go
41:38all that's left is for my father outraged at his one-time contributors crimes to introduce
41:44legislation that'll close every loophole carter rehab was taking advantage of
41:47i still think it was maine
41:49it was not you
41:51you
41:52okay she says something
41:56one more step to take
41:58one more step to take
42:00i've got one more change to make
42:02i like it
