00:22Well technically I'm a no-rent P.I.
00:58None of the neighbors saw anything
01:00It's you I am you're lucky the car alarm woke you before it melted
01:04Molly wanted to get one of those doorbell cameras last Christmas

02:10Right
02:10And you're the one who decided to change their address
02:13It's true

02:33Well
02:34Decker investigations
02:35Is not a hustle side or otherwise
02:36I even
02:37Got a website
02:38Take a look
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
06:13Oh god
06:16Whoa
06:18No
06:19I don't She's
06:19Wcharge5
06:20Jara
06:20I don't know
06:24It could be
06:24I don't know
06:26I don't know
06:26You can't
06:26Get the top of the mat
06:27I don't help you
06:29You want to
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, never.
07:09Again.
07:11Never.
07:12No, stupid.
07:12Say never again.
07:14Right.
07:15Uh, 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?
07:22Oh, I 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 and 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 it 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.
07:56Okay.
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.
08:17I'm sorry.
08:18But if you want, we can still take it to the police.
08:21We can share your suspensions.
08:22No.
08:22No.
08:23It's okay.
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.
08:34I tried to give people that impression, especially in front of my husband.
08:39Two 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, 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?
09:04I 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 him to me.
09:14I'll see if I can get a beat on him.
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.
09:35Yeah, that's right, Miss McCann.
09:36It was your nephew's car I hit.
09:38I was, uh, towing this Nissan Z repo job.
09:41Well, it don't matter.
09:42But there was this dog, eh?
09:44I up and swerved and...
09:47No, ma'am. No, no, no, ma'am.
09:48No, I won't feel right till I get a check in his hand.
09:51$1,400.
09:54Try to limit yourself to $40 or $50, please.
09:58You stays 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 ol' 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 Los Olos trailer parks.
10:31This 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?
11:03This 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 it cops.
11:12We both call him happy.
11:13What do you say?
11:1410 grand?
11:15Yeah, 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.
11:40But you're not getting my beer either.
11:42Probably gonna need it more than you anyway.
11:44Hey!
11:45Alright, 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.
11:53Slide over.
11:55Good, you got this.
11:56Vince, lighten it up.
11:57Let's get the good vibes going.
11:59Alright, turn two.
12:02This one's coming to you, Hayden.
12:03There it is.
12:04Okay, boy.
12:05Let's go.
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.
12:52down....
12:59Brookes, why don't we show Henry where he's gonna be sleeping at night?
13:02Thanks, Vince.
13:04Got to bite.
13:08You're positive this wasn't Goose?
13:11Even if he had both of his feet, he 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.
13:31We've known Vince and his wife for years,
13:33and Henry and Brooks are on the same all-star teams.
13:37And I can't think of a reason that the person who's doing this would think to live for us here.
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 I 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.
13:59But 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...
14:06Well, do we?
14:07That's what he 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.
14:27He wants us to leave town, too.
14:29But the 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.
14:42At 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's more the face of the company.
15:10So 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 that 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.
15:55He means well.
15:56I get it.
15:57But he's also...
16:00What?
16:01A crap magnet.
16:02He attracts trouble.
16:03Trouble attracts him.
16:05It's only a matter of time before he tracks them 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.
16:17I mean, he took chances.
16:18Most photographers do.
16:19But 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.
16:25And you're right.
16:26The 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.
16:34It's that we were only ever supposed to be pals.
16:36And so afterwards, we stayed pals.
16:38But 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 your 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.
17:04But it took him a while to get to that place.
17:07And I guess I wish I'd been paying better attention.
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.
17:43Gotta be honest, I don't know why they do that in the movies.
17:47It's depressing, looking at everything you don't know.
17:52Did you sleep last night?
17:56I just, I need some more time.
17:58But the dad, Bryce, he, he came apart last night.
18:02I was walking him out and he started talking about moving his family to Santa Clara.
18:06Where he went to grad school.
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 gotta go meet his business partner,
18:19see if he can think of anyone with a grudge and a flamethrower.
18:23What's up, you need something?
18:27Just 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.
18:48But 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?
18:57I 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?
19:05Hmm.
19:06That's funny.
19:06I noticed it was just your name on the door and the sign and the letterhead, the ads, everything.
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 a 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.
20:00All right, here's the legs, here's the legs.
20:04All right.
20:07Ah!
20:09You're about scared to bejesus out of you.
20:11I'm sorry.
20:11I needed a quiet place to work.
20:13I'm sorry.
20:14You're fine.
20:16Well, something 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.
20:30Yeah, well, there's probably no record of me attending Iron Tiger Taekwondo, but I did take six classes.
20:35Broke a board and everything.
20:36There were graduating notices for a Bryce Carbon, Bryce Wachtell, and a Bryce Hempstead.
20:43So I thought there might be some clerical error.
20:46Search those names.
20:46I found this.
20:47Come here.
20:50What you got?
20:55Bryce Wachtell, stabbed in San Francisco, 2011.
21:00Nearly died.
21:02Yeah.
21:02Police never found the perp.
21:03They suspected it was due to a business dispute between Bryce Wachtell's business partner 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.
21:52Say something.
21:55I can't believe I mentioned Santa Clara last night.
21:58I'm sorry.
22:00I was scared.
22:01I am scared.
22:02I just, I...
22:03Start from the beginning.
22:04Tell me everything.
22:0515 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,
22:19but they paid their bills, paid their taxes.
22:21Right, so they were a triad business.
22:23You 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.
22:38He's pissed off.
22:38He's accusing us of stealing almost a million dollars.
22:41Did you?
22:41No.
22:42But when we looked at it, the business had a hole in its books.
22:46That money was disappearing into a shell company, Shadow 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.
22:56The guy that stabbed you, he didn't believe you, right?
22:58I'm 99.9% sure the guy who stabbed me was embezzling the money himself.
23:03That might have been able to prove it
23:05if he hadn't gotten himself killed in some gang war
23:07before I got out of the hospital.
23:10I was there for a while.
23:12Liver transplant.
23:14Okay.
23:16After I got out, Josh and I went on the run.
23:19We moved out here, helped each other create new identities.
23:23I'm sorry.
23:24Josh lives in the area, too?
23:26Yeah.
23:26And obviously he knows your real name is Bryce Wachtel.
23:29Trust me, he 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, I understand not wanting to scare her back then,
23:50but now, letting her think that the guy that lit your car on fire was her ex?
23:55I did think it was him at 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.
24:08Surgery, my real name.
24:09It was all there.
24:10Who has access to these records?
24:12Out 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.
24:19I have a copy at my office, and, uh...
24:23And 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.
24:44And she deserves to know she has nothing to do with this.
24:51All right.
24:56Now, Brooks, come on.
24:57You gotta step towards your target, okay?
25:00Okay, go back in there now?
25:05Uh, yeah.
25:06I'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 rain.
25:27I mean, maybe it was there whenever...
25:29Whoever left the thumb drive scan, the original.
25:33So you go to Bryce's doctor and his pal Josh
25:35and see which one has a copy with a coffee ring on the same page.
25:38I'm hoping.
25:39Yeah.
25:41Small detail.
25:42Last time I checked, PIs don't have subpoena power,
25:44so how are you gonna get them to show you their copies?
25:46Wish is gonna help me with the doctor tomorrow,
25:48but Josh, now living under the name Sonny Tedescu,
25:51is gonna be a bit trickier.
25:52Bryce didn't have a current address,
25:54so I gotta dig one up.
25:56Hmm.
25:57Okay.
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
26:09so inmates can make it using ingredients they find in the canteen.
26:12Cheesecake is cheesecake, am I right?
26:14Oh.
26:15Ooh, your date.
26:17I'll get it.
26:18Sophia, it's not my date.
26:20Not even close to my date.
26:23Amazing.
26:24And that's when my father decided that RJ got him in the divorce.
26:31Which reminds me, he texted us the other day,
26:34asked how the house hunt was going.
26:36Oh.
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.
26:45What?
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,
26:59I think you ought to make him cook more often.
27:02Yeah.
27:02Yeah.
27:03Well, you know what?
27:04I really do hate to dine and dash,
27:07but I've got to get back to the course.
27:09Should I walk you out?
27:11Actually, Mel, could you?
27:13Mm-hmm.
27:14I mean, you know, it's just a paperwork thing.
27:25It's not a paperwork thing.
27:28Yeah.
27:28No, I...
27:30I'm a detective.
27:31I, uh, I detected that.
27:34I don't want to create problems,
27:36but I couldn't help picking up
27:38that 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,
27:46I 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.
28:14I'll be the bad guy,
28:15and no one else would need to know.
28:17Call it a professional curse.
28:21Good night.
28:21Good night.
28:25Good night.
28:27Good night.
28:44How'd it go?
28:45Well, you win some, you lose some.
28:48Your client's doctor was unwilling
28:50to prescribe human growth hormone
28:52to satisfy my curiosity
28:53on what might grow when you take it.
28:56Okay.
28:57On the other hand...
28:59Hey, you got the file.
29:01Good work.
29:02Yeah, a little lady running the records room
29:04had to abandon her station
29:05when a toilet and a restroom
29:06very mysteriously began to overflow.
29:13Is that not the copy you're looking for?
29:15No.
29:16No coffee ring on page 16.
29:18Plus, every one of these pages
29:19is marked for internal use only.
29:21They must have done that
29:22when the doctor took Bryce on as a patient.
29:24All right.
29:25So, wherever the black mailer
29:26laid his hands on Bryce's records...
29:28Yeah, he didn't do it here.
29:29Okay.
29:31Hey, Kath, what's up?
29:33Hey, I was in our assignment meeting
29:34at the Herald this morning
29:35when a familiar thing popped up.
29:37Sonny Tedesco?
29:38He's your client's old friend
29:39from San Francisco, right?
29:41Yeah.
29:41I mean, well, Bryce thinks they were friends.
29:43I'm not so sure he isn't the black mailer, though.
29:45Yeah, he isn't.
29:46He was executed out in Sunrise this morning,
29:49gunned down in his doorway.
29:50What?
29:51Whoever did it wrote the Chinese symbol
29:52for 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, you the one that's been doing this, Alan?
30:20Did you give Josh up to the triad?
30:22Who to the what now?
30:24Josh.
30:25My friend!
30:26Josh, did 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
30:35in the cabinet over there.
30:36They're connected to everything
30:38that'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
30:49who'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 jamb looks like
30:57it was repaired pretty recently.
30:59So what?
30:59So was there a break in it here?
31:01If there had been,
31:02do you think I wouldn't have
31:03mentioned it to you?
31:04He's right.
31:05That's not from a break in it.
31:06It was the firefighters.
31:08What firefighters?
31:10It was like a month ago
31:11when you were up in D.C.
31:12for that conference.
31:13Some kids got into the storefront
31:15downstairs one night,
31:15let off some fireworks as a prank.
31:17When I got in in the morning,
31:19there were firemen all over.
31:20They forced their way in
31:21to 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,
31:30go downstairs and see for yourself.
31:35These idiot kids
31:36could have burned down
31:37the whole building.
31:38I'm not so sure it was kids.
31:41All this could have been staged.
31:42This cover for someone
31:43to get upstairs
31:45and go through your files.
31:46The guy who's been tormenting us.
31:48If he was the one
31:49that busted through the door,
31:50there'd be no way to tell
31:51after the firefighters came through.
31:52Yeah, that's one possibility.
31:54Is there another one?
31:55What if the guy
31:56that was trying to get upstairs
31:57was one of the firefighters?
32:01Position!
32:02Position!
32:03All right, we 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!
32:14I don't know.
32:14I don't know.
32:14I don't know.
32:14I don't know.
32:14I don't know.
32:17You don't like to go with me.
32:19Got it.
32:22All right, guys.
32:24Everything all right?
32:25Yeah, I just want to let you know.
32:27Bryce and his family,
32:29they won't be there
32:30when you get home tonight.
32:31You find the person
32:32who's messing with them?
32:34Yeah, man, I'm speaking.
32:35Yeah, I 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
32:53and 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, get your glove down!
33:03Pulled the same trick so you could get into Bryce's office a month ago.
33:06I saw some fireworks so your company would get called in.
33:10Obviously, that's when you got his medical records.
33:13Were you looking for him?
33:15You'd 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?
33:24You said, what I don't understand,
33:25what Bryce doesn't understand,
33:26is 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
33:48so 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,
33:54but 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,
34:07even 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 draw the symbol on his house
34:28was the same paint you used on the Daner's garage.
34:31The Daner's were told to run.
34:35Hell, I took the men so they could hear me telling them,
34:37guys, I'd run.
34:40But they had you in their ear,
34:42telling them that you'd help.
34:45Maybe they needed to see what could happen.
34:51It's funny.
34:53I wonder why you just didn't take this all to the cops.
35:01Because you know the first thing that I'd start talking about
35:04who Bryce really is.
35:07Loud.
35:09So loud,
35:10they'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.
35:20Okay, guys.
35:39I didn't mean to scare you,
35:40but I have to tell you something.
35:41Well, if it's that you're moving out,
35:42I promise my heart will go on.
35:44No, it's not that.
35:52So, this firefighter,
35:54you like him for the murder out in Sunrise this morning,
35:57but we even question him about it,
36:00and he'll start screaming from the rafters
36:02that your client has a triad bounty 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.
36:12Somebody barely knew,
36:14for no reason.
36:15If you were hoping,
36:16I would know some way to put this guy away
36:18and keep him quiet.
36:20But you're right.
36:22What this guy did,
36:23can't stand.
36:26I have a friend,
36:27ex-Wood Sec.
36:28She might have some ideas
36:29on 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
36:35and Sophia to relocate.
36:39And what they have,
36:40what you have.
36:41No one should be able
36:42to take that away from them.
36:43No one...
36:49And yet...
36:50Triad.
36:52Yeah.
36:52Think about what it would be like
36:54for your clients,
36:55seeing those guys in your sleep
36:57for the rest of your life.
36:59How would you do
37:00any of the things you want to do,
37:02knowing they could be
37:03around the next corner?
37:07Yeah.
37:09How would you do
37:09the things you want to do?
37:21Over here.
37:28I'll admit,
37:29I was surprised to hear
37:30from you this morning.
37:31I thought we said
37:32all we had to say yesterday.
37:35Well, you know,
37:36I thought that conversation
37:37was a little one-sided.
37:39Plus,
37:40I wanted to show you these.
37:41Take a seat.
37:48Oh, Jesus.
37:50Yeah.
37:50Crime scene photos.
37:52Different guys
37:53in different parts of the country
37:54all killed by
37:55Triad execution squads.
38:00They are
38:01a creative bunch,
38:02aren't they?
38:04See these two?
38:08They were killed in prison.
38:09That's important, Vince.
38:11Because that's where you're going.
38:15I thought I made myself
38:16pretty clear yesterday.
38:18I get arrested.
38:19You tell the world,
38:20Bryce Danner.
38:21It's really Bryce Wachtell,
38:22I know.
38:23Thing is,
38:23you do that,
38:25your picture's gonna
38:26end up in here, too.
38:28I'm not the one
38:29they think stole a million bucks.
38:30Oh, but you will be.
38:31That's the other thing
38:32I wanted to show you.
38:36Take a look.
38:40What the hell
38:41is Shadowblade Enterprises?
38:42It's a company you've owned
38:43for almost 15 years now.
38:45The same company
38:46that stole that million bucks
38:47from the Triad
38:47back when Bryce
38:48and his old partner
38:49were doing their books.
38:50I've never even set foot
38:51in San Francisco.
38:52You haven't.
38:53You have.
38:55At least according
38:56to these papers.
38:58You have.
39:01You really think
39:02I'm afraid of a bunch
39:03of phony-ass papers?
39:04You should be.
39:06Because if there's one thing
39:07this whole nightmare
39:08has made Bryce
39:08very, very good at,
39:10it's falsifying tax
39:11and legal documents.
39:12Think about it.
39:13All the stuff
39:13he had to whip up
39:14to start a new life
39:15out here.
39:16All the forms.
39:17My friend,
39:17she's a police detective.
39:19She says this is
39:19some of the best work
39:20she's ever seen.
39:23Actually,
39:25she's sitting
39:25right over there.
39:30You see,
39:31in a minute
39:31you're going to
39:32walk over there
39:32and you're going to
39:33confess to killing
39:33Bryce's old partner
39:34in Sunrise yesterday.
39:35You can say it was
39:36for reasons.
39:39Whatever.
39:40Anything but the truth.
39:42Because this is important,
39:43Vince.
39:44You say one word
39:46about Bryce.
39:47Anything happens
39:48to him or his family.
39:49A copy of these documents
39:51gets sent to a lawyer
39:52in San Francisco.
39:53A lawyer with serious
39:54ties to the truth.
40:03Try it.
40:20Now.
40:21Now.

40:34around it
40:35and a third base
40:35coach is a psychopath.

40:43and she didn't love
40:44finding out
40:44I hid all that stuff
40:45from him
40:45but she understands
40:46honestly.
