00:13Don't try to eat it through the wrapper.
00:17I'm sorry, what?
00:18The candy bar.
00:19You try to eat it through the wrapper, I owe my friend 100 bucks.
00:22Why would I try to eat it through the wrapper?
00:24You've been staring at it for 10 minutes now.
00:26It's like you're trying to skip the opening it and chewing it parts and just bean it straight through your
00:31stomach.
00:32I'm sorry, have you been watching me for 10 minutes?
00:33Me and my friend.
00:34She thinks you're an unhoused individual.
00:37This is Florida.
00:38You can just say crazy homeless guy.
00:39It's okay.
00:40She thinks you're a crazy homeless guy who's going to eat that thing through the wrapper.
00:43But not you.
00:44So what's the story?
00:45Why are you eye-sexing a candy bar on the steps of the courthouse?
00:50I'm on trial.
00:52A few months back, I caught this kid stealing camera equipment out of the trunk of my car.
00:56You're a photographer.
00:58I was.
01:00Commercial?
01:01Fashion?
01:01Yes.
01:04Anyway, I caught this kid and I, yeah, I sort of lost it.
01:08You lost it.
01:09I beat him up.
01:10You beat up a kid?
01:10He wasn't a kid.
01:11He was 20 years old.
01:12And as it turns out, the son of a state senator.
01:14It didn't matter that he had 40 pounds on me or that he threw the first punch.
01:17He made up some story about me thinking he was a drug dealer and then attacking him when he wouldn't
01:21sell me meth.
01:24Doesn't explain the candy bar.
01:27Sort of my favorite.
01:29Today could be the last day of my trial, meaning I could be going home in a few hours or...
01:33You could be going to prison.
01:34Or until candy bars are in short supply.
01:36The only thing is, like, I keep thinking if I eat it, I'll be jinxing everything.
01:43Well, look, I don't know a lot about prison.
01:46I know a little.
01:48And you're right.
01:49Candy bars are hard to come by.
01:53But I can think of something in even short supply.
02:01Okay.
02:15I believe this is yours.
02:20Good luck today.
02:22Thanks.
02:22But I've got everything.
02:25All the dirty.
02:30The library was questioned yet again today by homicide detectives.
02:34The investigation into the murder of his wife is ongoing.
02:37I'm kind of tired of that guy.
02:38You're wrong.
02:39I took a closer night's time.
02:41You still think it goes to the jury today?
02:42Just one witness left.
02:43The, uh, cousin, right?
02:45The one who said she was there that day?
02:46Step-sister.
02:47Step-sister.
02:47Step-sister.
02:48Step-sister.
02:49And you're sure she wasn't there?
02:50Yeah.
02:50No one was there.
02:51Why?
02:52I was going over her statement last night.
02:54It was really deep.
02:55All Roz?
02:58Superior Court in the state of Florida, Robin County, Department 342 is now in session.
03:03Judge Anna Yu presiding.
03:06Mr. Acosta, next witness?
03:08State calls.
03:10Emi Ochoa, Your Honor.
03:22There's your right hand.
03:24Do you swear the testimony you're about to give is the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth?
03:29I do.
03:33Please state your name and relationship to the victim.
03:35Yes.
03:36I'm Emi Ochoa.
03:37Lucas is my step-brother.
03:40And that's the man who almost killed him.
04:04Thank you, Ms. Ochoa.
04:07T. Ochoa is your excuse.
04:09Here you are.
05:02I told you I needed a 2019.
05:04Well, you don't give me that.
05:05Different parts, Darian.
05:06You want me to go put it back?
05:08I'll go put it back.
05:09I'll give you half.
05:10Half?
05:12Plus, I'll get a slice of that pizza.
05:16Jefe, problema?
05:17Come on, man.
05:19Let's check this thing.
05:20Talk about it.
05:21Ain't no...
05:35Beautiful dog.
05:36Thanks.
05:37Beautiful.
05:37I swear she is the spitting image of another dog I know.
05:41Friday.
05:43Friday is an emotional support dog.
05:45Her owner, Dylan, he's eight.
05:47He has autism.
05:48Friday helps him, makes him happy.
05:49Or at least she did until someone stole her out of a yard the other day.
05:52You have a nice day, yeah?
05:54Dylan's bomb, Amanda.
05:55She put these up all over the place.
05:57Next day, someone emailed her, said, yeah, the dog.
06:00And for 10,000 bucks, she could have her back.
06:02I know what you're thinking.
06:03Ten grand for a dog.
06:04But see, the house this guy stole her from, nice.
06:08It was real nice.
06:08One of those great big ones up in Coral Ridge.
06:11Guy didn't know that Amanda was just the housekeeper
06:13and that her bosses let her dog play outside while she works.
06:21So, you're going to arrest me now?
06:23No.
06:24I'm not going to arrest you.
06:25I'm not a cop.
06:25I'm a PI.
06:26I'm also an ex-con like you.
06:2818 months, Appalachee.
06:29Assault.
06:30Marry and Correctional.
06:31Possession.
06:32I didn't want to take her.
06:34I wasn't even planning it.
06:35It was just okay.
06:36It's okay.
06:36Hey, listen.
06:37Take this.
06:39After I bring her home, I'm waiting to call him.
06:41He's a friend of mine.
06:42He helps win jobs for guys like me and you.
06:45Tell him R.J. is saying.
07:03Hey.
07:04T-Bow, how you doing?
07:06It's a hot one today.
07:07Stay hydrated.
07:13Hey, Arch.
07:15Hey, morning, Freddy.
07:15How you doing?
07:19Jester?
07:20Little hop there?
07:21Tom Petty.
07:22Come here, Tom Petty.
07:24Good.
07:26Arch, I told you.
07:27You got to keep a treat on you.
07:28You give Tom Petty a treat, he'll leave you be.
07:30Or maybe, you know, stop giving him a free run of the entire trailer park.
07:34You ever thought about that?
07:34Hey, you seen T-Bow this morning?
07:36His mom was looking for him.
07:37Yeah, he's out by the mailboxes.
07:39He's doing his scary clown thing again.
07:41What is the point?
07:42Well, his mom says it's an experiment in phenomenology.
07:45Really, I think it's more to do with T-Bow being crazy as hell.
07:49Uh, Tester, I almost forgot.
07:50I signed for a package for you yesterday.
07:52It's in here by the door.
07:53Uh, do you mind bringing that out?
07:55Uh, I'm not comfortable going in there since the, uh, you know, sinkhole.
08:00Yeah, okay.
08:01I understand.
08:03So, uh, you talked to management about getting your trailer moved yet?
08:07I did.
08:08Twice.
08:08I think their hesitation may have something to do with me being two months behind on the rent.
08:17Florida man tries to chew through handcuffs following the rest.
08:21Now, it is a fascinating route, sir, but I'm afraid there's nothing in here that identifies you as the Soviet.
08:28Good, man.
08:29I can only give you a free drink if you can prove you're the Florida man in the rest.
08:33Captain America, we love you.
08:37Number for the wall.
08:42Selly!
08:44Usual?
08:46Uh, it's a little early.
08:47You get that every time you call me Selly, you're announcing to your patrons we're both ex-cons?
08:52Well, if it weren't for ex-cons, RJ, I might not have any patrons.
08:55That's true.
08:57You texted me.
08:57Cut to the chase.
08:58Well, I'm afraid the chase, old buddy, is Clay Gregory.
09:05Police have confirmed that the woman found dead in the trunk of a car is Rhoda Batista,
09:11the high school teacher who was reported missing yesterday.
09:14The car was involved in a brief chase with police last night.
09:17This morning, it was found abandoned, leading to the discovery of the victim.
09:22This, of course, is eerily reminiscent to the murder of Broward County Herald journalist,
09:28Maya Gregory, several years ago.
09:30Just like Rhoda Batista, she was found in the trunk of a car, strangled.
09:35In both cases, the murder weapon was a wire coat hanger.
09:40Maya Gregory's husband, Clay Gregory, was a person of interest at the time, but has never been charged.
09:49You know, it's funny.
09:51A year and a half sharing a six-by-eight space with you, and I still can't read your mind.
09:56I'm thinking it sure would be nice to know where Clay Gregory was last night.
09:59It would, but it's safe to assume Fort Lauderdale's finest are all over that, yeah?
10:06You know, the reason I wanted to hear about this from me is because I know there is a very
10:10straight line
10:11between what happened to your reporter friend and what you did to that kid who broke into your car a
10:15few days later.
10:16Wish he wasn't a kid. He was 20 years old.
10:18And he was bigger than you, and he threw the first punch.
10:21Remind me, which one of you ended up at Appalachia with me?
10:25The truth, Sally, is you were carrying too much hurt around,
10:30and you unloaded on the first best person came along.
10:41Don't go make it the same mistake now, you hear?
10:47All right.
11:17R.J.
11:18R.J.
11:52R.J.
11:56R.J.
11:58R.J.
12:15R.J.
12:31R.J.
12:34R.J.
12:48R.J.
12:53R.J.
13:08R.J.
13:11R.J.
13:23R.J.
13:49R.J.
13:51R.J.
13:52R.J.
14:06R.J.

15:10R.J.
15:11R.J.
15:15R.J.
15:17She says she wanted to talk to you.
15:19She's in the garage.
15:27You wanted to see me?
15:29One week.
15:32Beg pardon?
15:36You can stay here one week, and then you go.
15:40Mel, if you think I want to stay...
15:41One week, felon.
15:42One week.
15:43Say it with me.
15:46One week.
15:49No, I won't talk to you about Cleggers.
15:51No, no, no, no, no, no.
15:52I was going to ask about Sophia.
15:53Oh, yeah.
15:54Is she still drowning threes like Steph Curry?
15:57Like Sabrina Nulescu.
15:58And asking about my kid isn't going to score you anything.
16:02Just the person who called the police about the red beam to you the other day.
16:06They interacted with the guy who abandoned it.
16:09Said something, did something.
16:10Am I right?
16:11I just want to know what this are.
16:17Maya Gregory was your friend.
16:18I get it.
16:19But this case, it's about Rora Batista.
16:22And it's got enough eyes on it already.
16:25I don't also need some pretend P.I. looking over my shoulder.
16:29Let alone one flopping in my pool house.
16:33You know, I've started to wonder if you don't like me, because you're under the impression I might be the
16:37close-minded type who'd be embarrassed, maybe even angry, that his ex-wife ended up marrying another woman.
16:44And R.M.L.
16:45It doesn't bother me.
16:47I knew Kath was by from day one.
16:51Well, we haven't entertained the occasional third party back then.
16:54Okay.
16:55I got work to do?
16:56Trying to get sent back to prison today?
17:05My Spanish is just a little rusty.
17:07You didn't just happen to confess to murdering two women, did you?
17:11Decker, what's it been?
17:13Two years?
17:14Eighteen months for good behavior?
17:15You go to prison one time, and suddenly it's all the jokes.
17:19I saw your ex's piece in the Herald this morning.
17:20Oh, yeah?
17:21It was good stuff.
17:22It reminded me of the way Maya used to write, all gas, no brakes.
17:26Yeah, Maya was something, wasn't she?
17:28Before she died...
17:29Before you killed her.
17:29Before she died, you met me what?
17:32Once, maybe twice.
17:34You hardly know me.
17:35So how can you be so sure I killed Maya?
17:38While you were cheating on her?
17:39I was getting away with it.
17:40So why kill my wife?
17:43This new murder, the one from a couple of days ago...
17:44A little bit, she's...
17:45That was her name.
17:46She was a teacher, she had a mom, she had three sisters.
17:48Yeah, I'm sure you heard by now.
17:49I was on an airplane when it happened.
17:51I didn't do it.
17:51Oh, no, you didn't.
17:52Then why are you here?
17:54Would I be right in assuming that the insurance policy you had on Maya never paid out?
17:59Of course it didn't.
18:01Because the insurance company, like pretty much everyone else in the state of Florida, knew you killed her.
18:05This new murder, though, I don't know, maybe it changes things.
18:09Like you said, you were on a plane when it happened.
18:12You think I hired someone?
18:14I told them to commit a murder just like Maya's when I was at 40,000 feet.
18:17Yeah, police started thinking, hey, maybe you didn't kill his wife.
18:20Then the insurance company, suddenly you're what?
18:22Six figures, Richard?
18:24Seven?
18:25It's been fun, but I've got work to do.
18:27Me too, Clyde.
18:29Me too.
18:41Decker Investigations.
18:42Hi, I called last night.
18:44We got cut off?
18:45Hi, yes.
18:46Sorry about that.
18:46I would have called you back when your number was blocked.
18:49You're still up for meeting?
18:50Absolutely.
18:51Then how about we do it over a drink?
18:53You name the place.
18:54Oof.
18:54Uh, yeah.
18:55Do you know FM station?
18:57I'll find it.
18:57See you at 7.
18:587 works, but can I...
19:02Didn't get your name.
19:03Again.
19:10Hi, ma'am.
19:12My name's RJ Decker.
19:13I'm a private investigator.
19:14I'd like to ask you a few questions about what happened yesterday.
19:20Me?
19:21Why me?
19:21You're the one that called the police, aren't you?
19:24You saw the person who dumped the car.
19:25If I was, I don't think the police would tell you.
19:28I knew it was you from the flower bot.
19:30Como?
19:31The one you threw at the suspect?
19:32I saw little pieces that were on the ground.
19:36See, most of your neighbors, they like to use their balconies for storage.
19:40You like to grow things.
19:41Yeah, you must have, what, a couple dozen plants out there?
19:43So, you saw the guy park, and when he popped the trunk, you saw what he'd done.
19:47That's why you threw the pot at him.
19:49All I'm looking for is a description.
19:51I even brought you a few pots to replace the ones you broke.
19:56The man was short.
19:58Maybe 5'2", black.
20:00His back was strong, so I didn't see his face.
20:03Just his terrible hat.
20:04What was so terrible about his hat?
20:06There was a penis on it.
20:08Penis?
20:08Did you say a penis?
20:09Worse, an angry penis.
20:11What made you think the penis was angry?
20:12The face, and the two little arms flexed like this, like you wanted to fight.
20:16Like this?
20:17Mm-hmm.
20:19Huh.
20:26Is this what you saw?
20:27It's your smile.
20:28Yes.
20:29It's not what you think it is.
20:30It's a jumbo shrimp.
20:31Specifically, it's the logo for the Jacksonville jumbo shrimp.
20:34AAA affiliates in the Miami Marlins.
20:36Does that help?
20:45Like your hat.
20:48Thanks.
20:52What?
20:52No, it's just I wish I could have seen your face when you found that dead lady in the trunk
20:56of that car.
20:58Deerys.
21:00Hey, get.
21:01Deep breaths.
21:02Deep breaths.
21:02No need to pull them on with this.
21:03Come here.
21:09I didn't hurt that woman, okay?
21:10I'm not a killer.
21:12Well, given she had about six inches and 20 pounds on you, I tend to agree.
21:15The thing is, Darius, you are a car thief.
21:17And you did steal that beaver.
21:19You just didn't know the first person who drove it left the body behind.
21:22Who are you, then?
21:25What is this?
21:26Me?
21:26I'm a PI.
21:27Yeah.
21:27As such, I do the occasional job for an insurance company.
21:30That company insures cars, and so they keep pretty meticulous records when it comes to
21:34car thieves.
21:35So I'm on a list?
21:36Yeah, you're on a list.
21:37That's how I found you.
21:38Someone saw the logo on your hat, so I checked the list for car thieves originally from Jacksonville,
21:42and bam, there you were.
21:45Pinched last year for joyriding in someone else's Lambo.
21:48I'm a miner.
21:49All that stuff is supposed to be seen.
21:52Yeah, well, hey, insurance companies, what can I say?
21:54I tried to do for a thing, okay?
21:57I left the car trunk open so somebody would see the lady, and the police would arrest the
22:01person who owns the car.
22:03Well, the person who owns the car has an alibi described by Channel 7 as ironclad, not
22:08to mention zero connection to the victim.
22:10That's why I think the car was actually stolen twice the other night.
22:12First by the killer, and then by you.
22:15What I don't know, what nobody knows except for you and him, is where the car was abandoned
22:18first?
22:20Where did he leave it before you stole it?
22:29Hey, hey.
22:31Uncle RJ, we're making a joke about Vieja.
22:33Want to help?
22:34Uh, actually, kiddo, I need a quick word with your mom, and then I have to go meet a client.
22:38Do you need to bring a gun?
22:39No, sweetie, I don't even own a gun.
22:41That's because you can't own a gun.
22:42Can we just, uh, please?
22:45So this guy stole the car first, dumped it in the lot, and then the kid you found stole
22:50it a second time.
22:51Yes.
22:52He's the one who ended up in a car chase with police, but this guy, Popeye Cavs, he's the
22:56one that killed Rota Batista.
22:57On orders from Clay Gregory.
22:59In order to clear his name, make a play for my life insurance money, or both.
23:03All I could get tonight was video from a hardware store, but you can't miss the area, and maybe
23:08you find video from a different business, give us Popeye's face, we find him, he gives
23:13us Clay.
23:17Hey.
23:20Were you sleeping with Maya Gregory?
23:23I'm asking as a wife, not a cop.
23:26If it's something that's gonna come out, I'd rather know now.
23:29No, I wasn't sleeping with Maya Gregory.
23:32Truth is, I didn't even know her that well.
23:35She died.
23:36This person, you didn't know very well.
23:38And it was, what, one week later, you lose it on some kid who breaks into your car?
23:45Few years back, I'm still working at the Herald.
23:48City desk sends me out on what they figured was a routine drug homicide.
23:52Someone smelled something awful coming from the trunk of a car, called the cops.
23:55I show up just as they're drilling the locks, trunk pops open.
24:02I'm expecting the usual.
24:03Gangbanger, no ID, multiple gunshot wounds.
24:06Not a woman with a hanger wrapped around her neck, and not someone I knew.
24:11Can you guess what I did?
24:13Took a picture.
24:18I'm thinking, hey, it's Maya, it's Maya from work.
24:20But I just keep bracketing the shots, changing the angles to get more of her hair, but not the face.
24:25Not the face.
24:26No, the papers won't print faces of the dead.
24:28That's policy.
24:29You're doing your job.
24:30Shoot everything.
24:31That's what they expect.
24:33Nine times out of ten, they'll only use your most vanilla pick.
24:37The one that tells the story but won't upset.
24:40Thing is, the photographer...
24:44Yeah, he remembers all the...
24:46Next day I quit.
24:47I've had enough.
24:48But when it comes out that Clay's having an affair, and I don't know, I started following him.
24:53I started taking this picture.
24:56I didn't catch him in the act of anything.
24:59But when I looked at him through my lens, I swear I could see him.
25:05I could see who he really was.
25:09My cameras, all of a sudden, they were my eyes again.
25:12And they were gonna help me do something good.
25:14And then stupid Lucas Ochoa broke into your car and tried to take them from you.
25:21This new career you picked?
25:23It's hard not to notice you're still taking pictures.
25:26It's Jean's spouses.
25:28Guy's faking an injury to collect on disability.
25:30For now.
25:32But you stick with it.
25:34And you and I both know you're gonna start seeing the ugly stuff again.
25:39Well, I stick with it.
25:40Maybe some of the ugly stuff doesn't happen.
25:52She here?
25:53Is she at our finest table?
25:55Okay.
26:00Let me guess.
26:02You're still mad about the candy bar.
26:14Did you not hear me say I'm sorry?
26:17Did you not hear me say what you can do with your apologies?
26:19I did.
26:20I assume it's an expression you learn in prison.
26:22Do you think this is funny?
26:24Do you think lying about what happened between me and your stepbrother getting me shipped off to Appalachee for a
26:28year and a half is some kind of a joke?
26:30No, but you mess with one Ochoa.
26:31You mess with every Ochoa.
26:33All right.
26:33The Ochoas.
26:34Fort Lauderdale's answer to the freaking Borgias.
26:36How's your dad, by the way?
26:37Is he gonna run for governor?
26:38Or would that put too many eyes on him?
26:39Make it too hard for him to accept all those bribes.
26:41Thanks, Senator Ochoa.
26:42It's very well.
26:43You know, after that being in court, I looked you up.
26:45I saw you were one of his special consultants.
26:47I'm curious.
26:47Did you tell him how you consulted me right before you testified?
26:49Because, wow, special would be putting up mildly.
26:52I thought you were gonna consult my damn legs off.
26:54Let me please talk about why I called.
26:56Do you think I'm on a job?
26:57Are you out of your mind?
26:58There is no job.
27:00There is just me wanting to say I'm sorry.
27:02I thought I should do it face to face.
27:04But I knew if I didn't pretend to have work for you, you wouldn't come.
27:08He's saying you lied.
27:10You could apologize for lying.
27:11Tell me I pulled you away from something.
27:12You heard about the teacher they found in the trunk of the car the other day?
27:15I am this close to proving it was a murder-for-hire with a bill footed by Clay Gregory.
27:20What?
27:21Clay Gregory is like the Teflon Scott Peterson.
27:24He's this town's whitest white whale.
27:27And you're gonna...
27:28You.
27:30Tell your dad I said hi.
27:46Hey, what's up?
27:47Hey, where are you?
27:49Trailer.
27:49The one in the crater?
27:51Yeah, the other day I told Mel about all the surveillance pics I took of Clay Gregory after Maya died.
27:56Figured I'd go through and we can't see if I missed anything.
27:59And?
28:00Pretty sure his hairline's starting to recede.
28:02Well, I'm heading to a press conference.
28:04It's supposed to be an update on Rhoda Batista.
28:06But since I'm sleeping with the lead detective, I already got the scoop.
28:09The footage that you found led to more footage from a different business that showed the guy in the hoodie.
28:14Papa, I guess.
28:15What?
28:16Uh, nothing.
28:17Continue.
28:17Showed him getting into a silver sedan and driving away.
28:20Bad news is the camera is too far away to give a good look at his face or his license
28:23plate.
28:24Progress is progress.
28:25Go home, okay?
28:26I didn't think that trailer was safe before the sinkhole.
28:33Hey, Tebow, how you doing, man?
28:35Moving on from the clown thing.
28:37Good for you.
28:37Sort of five years ago.
28:42Tebow?
28:42T
28:49Good for you.
28:51Come on.
29:26I'm ready to save my life.
29:59I told R.J. he was welcome to still stay with us, but he wouldn't hear it.
30:02Someone tried to kill him tonight, and your doorstep is the last place he'd want to bring that much danger.
30:08And your doorstep's okay?
30:10You know me and R.J.'s story, don't you?
30:12Yours only, it's at Appalachee.
30:15Okay. Is that all he told you?
30:20Now, when your ex and I met, I was doing a stretch for holding up a convenience store in Coral.
30:28But the thing is, I was innocent.
30:32Common refrain around Appalachee, mind you.
30:34I'm innocent.
30:36And yet, in my case, it was God's honest truth.
30:42R.J. was the only one who believed me.
30:44He wasn't a P.I. yet, but he got himself a contraband phone and started looking into it.
30:49Made some calls, sent some emails, chipped away at the state's case, and finally, he was able to prove the
30:56robbery was the work of someone else,
30:58and the perpetrator just happened to leave the scene in a vehicle that looked remarkably like mine.
31:03They only arrested you because you had the same kind of car?
31:06Well, that and I also robbed other convenience stores in the past.
31:10The point is, I was exonerated.
31:13But, because the gears of justice grind slowly, it amounted to me being released just one day earlier than I
31:21would have.
31:22So R.J. didn't really change much after all?
31:25He changed everything.
31:29Because the very first thing I did was I bought a scratcher.
31:32And that scratcher paid out a million bucks.
31:36And that million bucks bought me his bar.
31:44I'm not released this day instead of the next.
31:49Who knows what comes of me?
32:02Uncle Arja, do you have any pencils in here?
32:04I have to do my homework.
32:06I was picking her from school when you called.
32:08What do you got?
32:09Remember how I told you I spent some time following Clay after Maya was killed?
32:12Well, last night before Popeye Cav showed up, I was going over some of my old photos,
32:16and I remembered this guy.
32:20Why do I recognize him?
32:21Probably because you've driven behind a city bus sometime in the last 15 years.
32:25That's where he does most of his advertising.
32:27Ah, a sleazy plastic surging guy.
32:29Yeah, with a name that sounds made up.
32:30Yep, Dr. Adrian Noble.
32:32That's his practice over there.
32:33Turns out, Adrian Noble was not his real name.
32:36It's actually Cecil Gregory.
32:38As in Clay Gregory.
32:39They're related?
32:40Cousins.
32:41Get this, back in 2020, old Cecil tried opening a second office in Miami.
32:45Did not go well.
32:46He was losing money hand over fist.
32:47Or at least he was until an electrical fire broke out and the whole place burned down.
32:51He walked away with a seven-figure insurance payout.
32:54Electrical fire.
32:55And Clay's a commercial electrician.
32:57If you were a total sleaze and your cousin helped you book an insurance company out of a million bucks,
33:01what wouldn't you do for him?
33:02Okay, so you think Adrian Noble isn't just Cecil Gregory.
33:05He's Popeye Cav's, too.
33:06All we have to do is look for Tom Petty's bite marks on his legs.
33:10The guy who sings free fall and bit someone?
33:12No, sweetie.
33:12Tom Petty's a dog now.
33:16That's him?
33:17There's a hole in your plan.
33:18He's wearing long pants.
33:20Okay.
33:24Hey, the show's over there.
33:30Hey, brother.
33:31You got the time?
33:32Yeah, it's 3.30.
33:36Oh, my God.
33:40No bite marks.
33:42No underwear either.
33:43Yeah, he's not our guy.
33:44No, because odds are our guy's already in custody.
33:48My captain said there was a break-in at a veterinary clinic this morning.
33:51Silent Alarm got tripped.
33:53A couple patrolmen responded.
33:55Caught the perp trying to sew up some wounds on his leg.
33:58He claimed they were from trying to climb over a barbed-wired fence.
34:01When they took him to the hospital, doctor who treated him said they were...
34:04Bites from a dog.
34:05There's a team searching his residence.
34:072018, East Bishop.
34:08Are we going to a crime scene now?
34:11You're going home.
34:13But, if your Uncle RJ promises no one else will lose their pants today,
34:18maybe he can meet me.
34:20See you, kiddo.
34:21Uncle RJ.
34:27So, what's this?
34:28Bring your ex-con to work day?
34:30The captain said our guy's name is Wade Ennis.
34:32Two N's.
34:33That's him over there.
34:35Something you should see.
34:57What's with the wheelchair?
34:59What's with any of this stuff?
35:01This is what I want to show you.
35:03Cigarettes?
35:04Same weird brand as a cigarette butt found in Maya Gregory's car a few years ago.
35:08The one with the DNA that was not a match for Clay.
35:10So, you think Clay never actually laid hands on Maya?
35:13He hired this guy for her murder and the one from the other night.
35:16That's one possibility.
35:17Next to Braxdale.
35:21Sorry, what?
35:22Look, I know what you think you saw when you were following Clay a few years back.
35:27And yet there's evidence here to support what he's been saying the last few days,
35:31which is that his wife and Rora Batista were both killed by a serial killer.
35:35Talk to the Xanis guy.
35:36Talk to him.
35:37Tell him there's a deal if he serves up Clay.
35:39Watch how fast he flips.
35:43Never seen him before in my life.
35:45Wade.
35:45How many times I got to tell you, I don't know no Clay Gregory.
35:48I'm a serial killer.
35:50I'm a slave to my deviant passions.
35:54You realize you're looking at the death penalty, yes?
35:56You've seen them, like, true crime documentaries about guys like me.
36:00We get, like, special treatment in prison.
36:03Hell, I think there might be visits to the conjugal strike.
36:07If you're just a serial killer, why'd you go after Mr. Decker last night?
36:12How'd you even know about him if it wasn't for Clay Gregory?
36:15I'm a riddle wrapped in a mystery.
36:17You're a moron wrapped in stupid.
36:19You should take it from someone that's actually been to prison.
36:22Guys like the one you're pretending to be, they don't do so well.
36:26You think the state's gonna be the one to put you down?
36:29Nah, it'll be some guy named Red or Leon or Bubba.
36:33And they're gonna be twice your size and half smart.
36:35And when they do it, Wade, it'll be ugly.
36:37It'll hurt.
36:39So do yourself a favor.
36:41And give us the guy that put you up to all this.
36:43Give us Clay Gregory.
36:47I do not know Clay Gregory.
36:49I do not know him here or there.
36:52I do not know him anywhere.
36:55Whoever he is, Slim, whatever it is you think he did, I'm sorry.
37:01But I'm afraid he's gonna get away with it.
37:18I heard on the news someone confessed to killing those two women.
37:22And Bratz?
37:25You used to think Clay Gregory hired him to do it.
37:28His name is Wade Ennis, and I think because he knows he's going to prison no matter what,
37:33he might as well take all the credit and go in as Florida's answer to Hannibal Lecter.
37:39You're here to offer me another pretend job?
37:42I have this acquaintance, someone I may or may not know through my father, someone who may or may not
37:49be his specialist in, oh, let's just call it cyber security.
37:52The most crooked politician in the state of Florida has his own hacker?
37:56Let me show you how I'm not surprised.
37:58The point is, I may have asked him to dox Wade Ennis, and so this may be a hard drive
38:03filled with everything Wade's done online over the last couple of years.
38:07Emails, credit card statements, eBay transactions, stuff the police won't be able to get their hands on for days.
38:13Figured, dive in together, maybe we find something that connects him to Clay Gregory.
38:24The other night, when I tried to apologize for what I said at your trial, you didn't want to hear
38:29it.
38:30I was hoping you might let me try one more time.
38:33If you think I don't know, isn't it words from your father?
38:36It was.
38:37But if I hadn't lied to protect Lucas, there would have been consequences.
38:41But it was still wrong.
38:44And I'm sorry.
38:46What about everything that happened before you testified?
38:49Sorry to imagine that was on dad's orders.
38:51I knew where you were heading in a few hours.
38:54You didn't.
38:55Some guilty conscience?
38:56Guilty conscience.
38:57Nothing more.
38:58Is it?
39:01If you ever decide to follow in your dad's footsteps, you're going to make one hell of a politician.
39:05Oh, what makes you say that?
39:06Because I can tell when you're lying.
39:08I just don't mind it.
39:21What?
39:23When I was at Wade's house today, I noticed he was using a wheelchair like a piece of furniture.
39:27I figured it was something he stole off someone's curb.
39:29But according to this, he bought a brand new.
39:31So?
39:33I guess I was the same when Maya was killed.
39:35Okay, so maybe she fought back, stabbed him in the leg or something, and he needed the wheelchair to get
39:40around.
39:41No, he bought the wheelchair a few days before.
39:43A few days after, he started grub-hubbing every meal, breakfast, lunch, and dinner.
39:46That went on for two weeks straight.
39:47So, after Maya dies, he's hurt and he's housebound, but he had to know he'd be hurt, or why else
39:54buy the wheelchair?
39:56A little while ago, you said you were looking at receipts from Wade's pharmacy.
39:59Can you pull them up again, please?
40:01Yeah.
40:03Yeah, around the time we're talking about someone prescribing antibiotics, it just doesn't say who.
40:08Is there a name you're looking for?
40:10It's more like one I'm expecting to see.
40:14About a year and a half ago, I sprained my ankle.
40:17A year before that was the first time I had COVID.
40:19Okay.
40:20Both times, I was prescribed medication.
40:22Both times, I kept what I didn't use in case I needed it again.
40:26The point is, my doctor's name is right there on the bottles.
40:36Locked.
40:37Of course it is.
40:39Okay, look, just because I kept my old prescription bottles,
40:42that psycho killer wouldn't.
40:48Great.
40:50Just great.
40:56Fighting today, Clay?
40:58Great not, Deck.
40:59This time of year, the best fishing's off a boat.
41:01Now that Maya's life insurance is paying out, I think I may get one.
41:05Or didn't you hear they finally got the guy who killed her?
41:09Yeah, I think you mean the guy who paid to kill her.
41:12Detective.
41:14Seriously.
41:15Back then, how many times did you people go through my finances?
41:18Did you ever find a penny out of place?
41:20We didn't.
41:22But turns out, that's only because Wade Ennis wasn't paid with money.
41:25I don't think you could have gotten into bed with a dumber killer for hire.
41:29I mean, Wade was supposed to kill Maya on a Wednesday,
41:31but he went ahead and did it on a Tuesday,
41:33which wouldn't have been a problem,
41:34except Wednesday was the night you were planning on having an alibi.
41:36But then again, Wade's stupid, he cut both ways.
41:39He left a cigarette butt in Maya's car,
41:41and that led to DNA, which was undeniably not yours.
41:44Before we knew Wade's name, I was calling him Popeye Cavs.
41:46His swole lower legs, after all, were his most identifying feature.
41:50It turns out, they were not the result of hard work in the gym.
41:52They were implants.
41:54More specifically, they were paying me for choking the life out of poor Maya.
41:58You wanted to hire someone to kill her.
41:59You asked for references from not just the sleaziest person you knew,
42:03but a sleazy person who owed you.
42:05Your cousin Cecil.
42:07It didn't take him long to think of a guy named Wade
42:09who wanted calf implants but couldn't pay for them.
42:13But Wade took the job because what's won life
42:15against shapely or more contoured cats?
42:19Bought himself a wheelchair for after the surgery,
42:21then he went and did the deed.
42:23I don't know, Jack.
42:24It's hard to imagine there's any record of my cousin
42:27performing that surgery.
42:29No, there isn't.
42:30But there is a record of him prescribing antibiotics to him.
42:38Seems the surgery wasn't done under the best conditions
42:40and Wade got a bad infection.
42:42How do I know all this?
42:44Because old Cecil already copped all of it.
42:47He's under arrest, Mr. Gregory.
42:49And now, so are you.
42:55You end up at Appalachia Academy
42:57asking some old friends to say hello.
42:59Let's go.
43:19I still don't get why you won't let me write about what happened.
43:21Kath, in case you hadn't noticed,
43:22everyone is writing about what happened.
43:24No, they're writing about Clay Gregory getting arrested.
43:26They don't know that you were the driving force.
43:28No offense, sweetie.
43:29Well, my story, as you know, is complicated.
43:32So you went to prison.
43:33So what?
43:34This is Florida.
43:34Going to prison is like a rite of passage.
43:36Plus, you're trying to get a business out of the ground.
43:38You think people aren't going to want to hire the PI
43:40who brought down Clay Gregory?
43:42Well, think about it.
43:43In the meantime, since Mel here has decided
43:45I can stay in your pool house indefinitely.
43:46Uh, mm, I said you don't have to rush to find a place.
43:51I suggest you give her all the glory.
43:58Hey.
43:59I just wanted to say congrats on getting your guy.
44:02Huh.
44:05Uh, this is the part where you say,
44:07hey, thanks for doxing that maniac he hired.
44:09Now we're even.
44:10Even?
44:11Do you think helping me out one time
44:13makes up for 18 months in prison?
44:14I mean, it was like a pretty big help.
44:16It was a start.
44:17I'll let you know when we're even.
44:19What's up, Arch?
44:20Dewey.
44:23Ugh, you and this place,
44:24you were made for each other.
44:25What do you mean, the bar?
44:26Florida.
44:28Weirdest state in the union.
44:30None of it ever phases you, huh?
44:33You treat everyone exactly the same.
44:36There's some other way.
44:41Oh, I almost forgot.
44:43I almost forgot.
