00:01Previously on RJ Decker
00:04Levi Brenner just got out of Apalachee
00:06Well if he comes looking for me again, he ain't gonna find me here
00:08I'm going home
00:10You want a tour, I can tell
00:11Call it morbid curiosity
00:14When I tried to apologize for what I said at your trial
00:17You didn't want to hear it
00:18If you think I don't know, it was under words from your father
00:20It was, but it was still wrong
00:23I'm sorry
00:25That house where your pretty ex-wife lives
00:27With her pretty new wife and her pretty little daughter
00:30Never come within miles of me
00:31I didn't break in
00:33That's all
00:33I'm telling the truth
00:38Three, two, one
00:42The playground at Rosa Romero Elementary reopened today
00:46Welcoming students for the first time since Hurricane Martin
00:48Tore through the area six months ago
00:50Florida State Senator Victor Ochoa made the playground's restoration
00:53A key part of his broader storm recovery initiative
00:56Recovery isn't about bricks or budgets
00:59It's about investing in people
01:02In hope
01:07Hey, just a couple more things
01:09Yeah, and then I'm gonna go to the lottery line
01:13Okay
01:26Thanks for shopping your whippies
01:27Thanks for shopping your whippies
01:28Thanks for shopping your whippies
01:30Thanks for shopping your whippies
01:30Thanks for shopping your whippies
01:32Thanks for shopping your whippies
01:33Thanks for shopping your whippies
01:36Thanks for shopping your whippies
01:37Thanks for shopping your whippies
01:39Thanks for shopping your whippies
01:41Thanks for shopping your whippies
01:56I'm sorry, did I miss something?
01:58Yeah, the whole card.
01:59Your friend in the lotto line, she bagged him up to look paid for when you walked out.
02:03Dude, how is this any of your business?
02:05My name is RJ Decker, loss prevention detective.
02:09That sounds made up.
02:10It's not made up. I'm under contract with the Whippy's chain.
02:13I blend in and I watch. I make sure nothing goes out unpaid.
02:17So you're an undercover supermarket cop?
02:21Most days I'm a PI.
02:24Produce inspector?
02:25No. I'm a pro...
02:28You know what? I want to go back inside. We'll sort this out quietly. No cops.
02:33Right. Yeah, why wouldn't you call the cops?
02:34Because cops mean reports and statements and a court date six months from now where I got to wear a
02:39tie and explain shrinkflation to a judge.
02:41I don't want that. You don't want that.
02:44I'll take the eggs, man. You take the eggs, I'm going to chase you.
02:48Please?
02:49Oh, honey! I haven't paid for those yet.
02:54There she goes.
02:59I'll just pay for the eggs.
03:05You have a runner?
03:07Yeah.
03:08Weak morals, but strong legs.
03:10This is true.
03:11Leave everything here. I'll put it back on the shelf myself.
03:14Okay?
03:14Okay.
03:15Thanks, Dr. Ron.
03:16Now smile.
03:17We'll catch the next one.
03:18Supermarket.
03:20I can't no longer shop happy me.
03:24I can't believe it for the special offer.
03:27I guarantee for some malady.
03:32Let's go here.
03:36This is me.
03:44Yeah?
03:45You forgot about dinner.
03:47I forgot about dinner.
03:48I waited 30 minutes.
03:52That reservation wasn't easy to get.
03:54Even for me.
03:56Long day.
03:57Have a beer with me.
03:58An apology beer.
04:00Please.
04:03Coming right up.
04:08Here you go.
04:09So what happened?
04:10Hmm?
04:11Grand theft?
04:13Avocado at work today?
04:14No.
04:15I was working on the robbery at Mel and Cass House.
04:18I thought that was your old prison buddy, the guy who robbed the armored truck.
04:22Well, it turns out he and his partner, they had an alibi.
04:25He said someone else must be coming after us.
04:27I think he might be just messing with my head, because I've been at it a week now,
04:30and everything says run-of-the-mill burglar to me.
04:33A lot of work for run-of-the-mill.
04:35Well, Mel's daughter, Sophia, she's been having nightmares since it happened,
04:38so I figured, catch the guy, we'd go sleep better.
04:42Hmm.
04:45Is this a suspect?
04:47To be determined.
04:49Yeah, a neighbor reported seeing a suspicious man in the neighborhood.
04:52There's just a type who sees a lot of suspicious men in the neighborhood.
04:56Yeah.
04:56So, who knows?
05:02You look amazing, by the way.
05:05I know.
05:10Oh, this tastes like hot yoga.
05:13Yeah, it's the hops.
05:15Buy better beer at the supermarket tomorrow.
05:19Hey, that's it?
05:21Let me make it up to you, the dinner, please.
05:25Good luck with your side quest.
05:34Night crew never tosses their boxes.
05:37Who closed?
05:38Wait, let me guess.
05:41Terry, the man works hard all night, making sure none of this gets done.
05:46Hmm.
06:02What the hell?
06:03That didn't sound like boxes.
06:23Hey.
06:24I know you weren't supposed to work today.
06:26That's okay.
06:26Thanks for coming in.
06:27Yeah, what happened?
06:28Heist.
06:29Not a smash and grab.
06:31Uh-huh.
06:31Honest to goodness, coordinated op.
06:33Clean entry and egress.
06:35They got away with close to 10 grand in inventory.
06:38Okay.
06:39That's a lot of cops for a robbery, huh?
06:40Well, the crew that did this, they didn't just rob us.
06:44They killed one of our employees.
06:46What?
06:47Arturo Correa.
06:49Arturo?
06:49Arturo, the sweet old guy that works at the front that killed him?
06:5285 years old.
06:53Been with us for decades.
06:55And get this, he's just three weeks from retirement.
06:57Okay, I'm confused.
06:58Why was he working at night?
06:59Can't wax the floors while the store was open.
07:02Perps restrained him in an office chair, killed him, then threw his body in the baler.
07:06The baler?
07:07The thing that crushes up the boxes?
07:10Sarah, the stock clerk, found the body.
07:13She worried that she killed him when she turned the baler on, but I told her liver temp indicated
07:17he'd been dead for at least four hours prior.
07:22How do you know all that?
07:24I've heard a couple of CSU guys talking about you.
07:26Okay.
07:27Also, I watch bones.
07:29Of course.
07:31There were ligature marks on Arturo's neck.
07:34Strong evidence of strangulation as cause of death.
07:38ME still needs to confirm, but bruising doesn't happen post-mortem.
07:43Sir, step away from the table.
07:44Yeah, yeah, of course.
07:45I'm not going to warn you again.
07:46My bad.
07:49Kevin, just to be clear, my fee structure changes when the job goes from loss prevention
07:54to homicide.
07:57Oh, you're not here to solve the murder.
07:59You're here to find my stolen inventory.
08:03Oh.
08:05Okay, so watch what happens at 11.56.
08:11So I'm thinking EMP device.
08:14Like an Ocean's 11.
08:15An EMP device.
08:17To rob a supermarket.
08:19Well, Danny Ocean stole what?
08:20A couple hundred mil?
08:22Retail theft is a hundred billion dollar industry.
08:24Okay, well, let's assume for a second this wasn't the work of Danny Ocean.
08:27The cameras can only be shut down from the inside.
08:30Pull up the backroom feeds.
08:34We talked about this.
08:36The cameras in the backroom, and we talked about this day one.
08:38I know, I know.
08:39I've been waiting for corporate to approve the request, and that takes time.
08:44All right.
08:44Well, what about Arturo?
08:45Any of the guys who did this, they coerced him, he turned off the cameras?
08:49First thing the cops and I checked.
08:52Yeah, I see.
08:54All right.
08:55Pull up all the feeds.
08:56The sales floor, all of them.
08:58Pull them up for me.
09:01May I?
09:02Yeah, yeah, yeah.
09:10There.
09:11Watch the bottom shelf on the left there.
09:16You said the police didn't find any evidence of a break, and that's because it wasn't a break-in.
09:20It was a break-out.
09:29All right.
09:32Okay, so he cams on the shuttle closing, kills the cameras, then signals his crew to roll in.
09:37But they hit a snack, they weren't alone, and Arturo stumbles onto them.
09:42Yeah, it's the tidy version.
09:43I checked out the electrical ring.
09:45Panels, breakers, circuit boards everywhere.
09:48This guy's not finding the switch to cut the power by accident.
09:50You think it was an inside job?
09:52Actually, I know it was.
09:53Watch this.
09:57Mira, if I didn't know a guy died last night, I would have proposed that.
10:00Yeah, but watch.
10:01Same time, different part of the store.
10:03See, Arturo hears the cans, but he goes right on working.
10:05Check his face.
10:06It's the same look he gave me when I moved the thermostat by, like, one degree.
10:10Irritation.
10:10Yeah.
10:11You think our victim was the inside man?
10:13I talked to the guy that hired me.
10:15Arturo was weeks away from retirement, but I dug deeper.
10:18He was getting pushed out.
10:20Arturo decided to stick it to the store, and then his partner stuck it to him.
10:24Store closes at 10.
10:269.50.
10:28Hmm.
10:28And then, this was planned.
10:32It was coordinated.
10:33If Arturo was involved, we need to talk to his family, see who he's been hanging out
10:36with lately.
10:42The supermarket thinks you're out looking for their groceries, but the truth is, you're
10:46just using that to go out onto a murder investigation.
10:49You know what?
10:50I knew Arturo, okay?
10:51I liked him.
10:52He was always working hard, always smiling.
10:54Besides, we find the groceries, we find the killer.
10:57Here we go.
11:00Excuse me.
11:01We're looking for Arturo's daughter, Maria.
11:08What do you say?
11:10I don't speak English.
11:12Excuse me, sir.
11:13We're looking for Maria, the daughter of Arturo.
11:16Do you know where she is?
11:16I don't speak Spanish either.
11:20Baltazar, don't be heavy.
11:22Don't mind Baltazar.
11:24He's an old amargao.
11:25He enjoys being difficult.
11:27We're just looking for Maria.
11:28She's inside.
11:29In the kitchen.
11:34I hope you don't mind me saying, but you don't seem all that surprised.
11:37Your dad might have been involved in a robbery.
11:39I'm not.
11:41Not exactly.
11:42I just thought this part of his life was in the past.
11:44Your father had a criminal history?
11:45No.
11:46Not like you think.
11:47He was an anti-Castro dissident in Cuba.
11:50He wasn't violent.
11:51He wasn't about arson or bombs.
11:55He was about theft.
11:58Sabotage.
11:58Being a thorn in Fidel Castro's side.
12:00One time he hijacked a government truck full of TVs and radios.
12:04Confiscated from families labeled Gusano.
12:07So, um, Gusano's, what's this?
12:08Maggots.
12:09It was what Castro called anyone who opposed him.
12:12And did he sell the electronics?
12:14He gave them back to the families.
12:16All of his mischief was for Cuba and its people.
12:22But by 1974, he felt those walls closing in.
12:25And he was worried that he would get disappeared.
12:29So he came here.
12:32But he always dreamt of going back.
12:34Not until Cuba was free again.
12:36How do you take the idea of retiring from the supermarket?
12:40I hate it.
12:41Exiles don't know the meaning of slowing down.
12:43We think that frustration got him tangled up with the wrong people.
12:47They killed him to get his cut of the profits.
12:51Um...
12:54Do you know who these guys might be?
12:58The taller one?
12:59No, but the short one.
13:01With the limp.
13:01That's my father's oldest friend.
13:03Baltasar.
13:05Did you say Baltasar?
13:07Yes.
13:27Those heels are going to put you on your ass, Sam.
13:29This ain't a runway.
13:31I was in the neighborhood.
13:33Why are you really here?
13:37I'm here to talk about this.
13:57Can I help you?
13:58Uh, Tony Cruz?
13:59I'm Detective Abreu.
14:00This is Mr. Decker.
14:01We're looking for your father Baltasar.
14:03Is he home?
14:04Yeah.
14:05Uh...
14:06Hang on.
14:06I'll just go get him.
14:09Papi!
14:12Papi, Yasen!
14:13Papi!
14:14Uh, Mr. Cruz, everything okay?
14:15I don't know.
14:16My dad just climbed out of the window in the back.
14:18Help.
14:27Go!
14:27Go, go, go, go, go, go!
14:33All my dreams, I'm a little fighter.
14:39Senior's in, is it coming through?
14:41I got the right of way!
14:44Baltasar.
14:44We just want to ask some questions.
14:46The sidewalk ends are about 100 yards.
14:48You're really going to take this onto the streets?
14:50Because I got to say, I do not like your chances.
14:55All we want to know is where you were between the hours of 10 p.m. and 1 a.m.
14:59last night.
14:59That's it.
15:00Let me see.
15:02Ah, yes.
15:03With your mother.
15:05Was your mom hiding behind a bunch of paper towels on a shelf last night?
15:08Because we know you were, Mr. Cruz.
15:10We have video.
15:11Foul.
15:12Deepfake.
15:13Why'd you run from us then?
15:15Yes, I'm allergic to fascists.
15:16Bonnie, I'm allergic to guys who kill their oldest friends to take their share of the proceeds from a heist.
15:23Okay.
15:24I helped Arturo rub this door.
15:27But I did not kill him.
15:28Okay.
15:29Who did that?
15:32El Hedos.
15:33Habla en serio.
15:34El Hedos.
15:34El Hedos.
15:35What is this?
15:35Is this a gang?
15:36Sort of.
15:37It's the G2.
15:37Cuban Intelligence Service.
15:39It's like their version of the CIA.
15:41What do you mean?
15:41Like spies?
15:43Arturo was not murdered.
15:45Arturo was assassinated.
15:56That's all of us.
15:58It was a three-man crew.
16:00Arturo planned everything.
16:02I hide, wait for the store to close, go back, cut the power, reload the truck, leave Arturo tied up.
16:10Wait for the morning shift to find him and make it look like he's an innocent victim.
16:14You were right about Arturo not wanting to retire.
16:17But the store, they say, oh, you're old, useless.
16:22That's how the Cuban government would do it.
16:25Decide for you.
16:26No.
16:27You mean like when you were dissidents?
16:30Activistas.
16:31If you didn't promise freedom, justice, instead we get fear, misery.
16:38The people who have money, they left.
16:41Arturo and I, we stayed.
16:44Somebody had to fight.
16:45One time.
16:48One time we even broke into el Banco Nacional.
16:53You robbed the bank?
16:54Only to take what already belonged to the people.
16:57For la patria.
16:59For the homeland.
17:01Los militantes question us.
17:02They beat us.
17:03Gave me this stupid limp.
17:05They could prove nothing.
17:08But we knew, eventually, it wouldn't matter what they could prove.
17:14Mm-hmm.
17:15So you fled.
17:16Came here.
17:17You started over here in America.
17:17We resisted even here.
17:19We helped others escape.
17:21We rammed boats to save the balceros.
17:23But now, we're old.
17:28The fight is different.
17:29We work with other exiles to send donations.
17:33What about the donations you helped yourself to at the store?
17:36You did that.
17:36Where are those?
17:37On a Caribbean cruise to Havana.
17:42But Arturo was like, it's like family.
17:48I yell at him for 50 years.
17:52But kill him?
17:54No.
17:56Nunca.
17:59Ero, hermano.
18:00It was the regime.
18:02They are finally coming for us.
18:05Give us the name of the third member of your crew.
18:08The guy that helped you hide behind the paper towels.
18:11You think I'm some crazy old man?
18:13You think he killed Arturo?
18:15Maybe we just want to make sure the G2, they don't get him next.
18:20El tercer hombre, he and I left together.
18:23He never hurt Arturo.
18:26The assassin.
18:27He must have been just minutes behind.
18:30Too late for us.
18:32But not Arturo.
18:39I need to send a letter to Fidel.
18:42Ahora mismo.
18:43SÃ.
18:48Dale, dale, dale.
18:49Muchas gracias.
18:52A letter to Fidel?
18:53That's an old Cuban expression.
18:55It means he has to use the bathroom.
19:05So I don't think he killed Arturo, but all this spy and assassin stuff, you buying it?
19:09I mean, I believe he believes it.
19:12Yeah.
19:13Mi abuela, she would talk about the revolution.
19:15When Castro took over, neighbors turned on each other.
19:18You know, one accusation, one word.
19:20Luzano.
19:21Armed militantes would drag you from your home.
19:24Executions, they weren't just public.
19:25They were televised.
19:27Now, do I think a spy killed Arturo over powdered milk?
19:29No.
19:30I still like it del tercer hombre, the third man.
19:33Yeah, and Balthazar said they left together.
19:35He could have circled back, strangled Arturo while he was still tied up.
19:39Odds of getting his name out of Balthazar.
19:42I'll charge him with theft, lean on him with jail time, but if he really withstood torture
19:47from the regime, odds are probably zero.
20:07Decker investigation, Slope.
20:09Mr. Decker.
20:10Yeah.
20:10I'm sorry to call so early.
20:12My name is Isabel.
20:13I am a friend of Arturo's.
20:15We met at his house yesterday.
20:16Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
20:17Hi, at the front yard.
20:18I remember.
20:19How can I help you?
20:19His daughter told me you're investigating what happened.
20:22She gave me your number.
20:24I may have information for you.
20:33I usually go all the way to Hialeah for a cafe con leche.
20:37It is perfect.
20:38The owner of Ventanita on Calle Ocho may have let his family recipe slip after one too many
20:44rum shots one night.
20:48So, you were saying on the phone you might know something about what happened to Arturo.
20:52I sometimes help out at an exile advocacy group.
20:57Is it the same one Balthazar and Arturo belong to?
21:00The last time we met, I didn't mean to eavesdrop, but sometimes old men talk louder than they realize.
21:08A few weeks ago, I heard them talking about un trabajito.
21:12A little job?
21:13You speak Spanish?
21:14Do you think they were talking about the Whitby's robbery?
21:20At the time, I didn't know what they meant.
21:23But now, yes.
21:25I heard them say they wanted to bring in Danny, Arturo's grandson, to help.
21:30The boy has trouble in him.
21:33Criminal trouble.
21:34Gang friends.
21:36He's been arrested for stealing.
21:39A few months ago, Arturo brought him to my house to help with repairs.
21:42Days later, things were missing, and I just knew.
21:47I told Arturo, but he didn't want to believe it.
21:51And now Arturo is dead.
21:53And according to Maria, Danny disappeared yesterday.
21:59What do you mean disappeared?
22:00Maria told him Arturo had died, and he just left.
22:04She thinks he's grieving, but...
22:06You think he may actually be on the run?
22:08I mean, the street value of what they stole is worth just under 10K.
22:13Do you really think Danny would kill his own abuela to get his share?
22:16Ay, mijo.
22:18I've seen family turn on family for less.
22:23Is there something else?
22:26I know finding Arturo's killer is what matters.
22:30But if you find Danny, could you also look for the things he took from me?
22:38Of course.
22:39Yeah, I'll do what I can.
22:40Thank you, mijo.
22:43What do you got?
22:44John Doe.
22:45Spotted him during my regular patrol at the bike path.
22:47Thought he might have fallen asleep.
22:49But then I saw the wounds to his neck.
22:50No wallet, no phone.
22:52Probably stolen.
22:53Thought about canvassing the nursing home.
22:54See if anyone's missing any residence.
22:56Uh, no need.
22:56I can make the ID.
23:00His name's Balthazar Cruz.
23:02He was in the station last night.
23:05He even used our bathroom.
23:12His son Tony bailed him out last night.
23:14They got into an argument.
23:16Balthazar didn't like being lectured, so he left.
23:19Tony said he went to the park sometimes to clear his head.
23:21Any cameras in the area?
23:23I'm not caught anything useful.
23:24On the plus side, the Emmy did pull skin from under his nails.
23:28So Balthazar fought back.
23:30We're running it through CODIS.
23:32Any luck, we'll find a match.
23:34You might want to run it against Arturo's DNA, too.
23:37See if you get a familial hit.
23:39I met with one of Arturo's friends this morning.
23:41She thinks his grandson Danny might be our third man.
23:44She told me he's been in trouble with a lot before
23:45and that he took off right after Arturo's body was found.
23:49Balthazar thought the stuff they stole was already on its way to Cuba.
23:52Maybe it wasn't.
23:53Maybe Danny stashed it somewhere.
23:55Now, with Balthazar dead...
23:57There's no one left to split the take.
23:59I'll put out an APB on Danny.
24:06Papi.
24:08The whole back patio.
24:10At lunch hour, no less.
24:12You know this isn't good for Joaquin's business.
24:16I like the quiet.
24:18You wanted to see me because...
24:21Actually, you set this meaning.
24:23Only reason to visit Ray at his shop is to summon me.
24:26So, tell me.
24:28How can I help?
24:33Ray wouldn't admit it.
24:34But I know he broke into a home
24:36owned by a Fort Lauderdale homicide detective
24:39and a journalist for the Broward County Herald.
24:42Just like I know you're the one who asked him to do it.
24:47Nothing to say.
24:50Sorry.
24:52I was just thinking about my old friend, Ed Carter.
24:56How he had a very honest conversation with you.
25:00Only to find out later you were wearing a wire.
25:04Do you think I would do that to you?
25:06These days, mija.
25:07The things you do.
25:09The company you keep.
25:12None of it makes much sense to me.
25:17Explain that.
25:19That journalist you mentioned, Catherine Delacroix.
25:22A few weeks ago, it becomes apparent
25:24she's taken an interest in our family.
25:26She starts making calls.
25:29Calls get made to me.
25:31I find out that she used to be married
25:34to someone we both know.
25:38Are you really going to pretend
25:40that you haven't been in touch with R.J. Decker?
25:43What we did to him?
25:45Was for what he did to Lucas.
25:46Lucas, who was in the commission of a crime that night.
25:49Lucas, who threw the first punch.
25:51No one hurt Senor Choa and gets away with it.
25:54It's not sincere, Gomois.
25:59The night Ray broke into the house.
26:03Was he looking for something, or
26:06was it just to scare them?
26:08How many years have I protected you
26:10from the things you don't want to know?
26:13Are you really asking me to stop now?
26:18Maybe I am.
26:23Let's just say
26:26Ray won't be paying them a second visit.
26:32If you're thinking about telling your new friend,
26:35I wouldn't.
26:36You sound afraid.
26:38He has a temper, Mija.
26:40Just ask your brother.
26:43The last thing I would want
26:45is for things to...
26:48ask me.
27:02First my father,
27:03now bought the son.
27:04Mm-hmm.
27:05And you have no idea who killed them?
27:07Specifically, no.
27:09But we think there's a good chance
27:10it was the people or person
27:12they were planning on selling the goods to.
27:14I can't believe those viejos
27:15dragged my son into their stupid plan.
27:17You help me find him.
27:19I can keep him safe
27:20where the police get a handle
27:21on what's going on.
27:23He took his grandfather's death very hard.
27:27Danny fell into the wrong crowd
27:28after his father died.
27:33He made bad choices.
27:36But my father
27:38saw a bit of himself in Danny.
27:40You know, he pulled him back.
27:42He taught him the difference
27:42between good trouble and bad.
27:45When I told Danny he was gone,
27:48he couldn't even speak.
27:50He just drove off
27:51in his grandfather's car.
27:52He even forgot to take his phone.
27:57Sorry, Danny left his phone behind?
27:59I think it was the shock.
28:00And you have no idea
28:01where he might have gone?
28:02I'm sorry.
28:03May I?
28:06Your dad's wearing
28:07two hearing aids here,
28:09but I know CSU
28:10only recovered one from the scene.
28:12I'm not surprised.
28:13He was always losing
28:14one or the other.
28:14My ex-wife's grandmother,
28:16she had the same problem,
28:17but she had an app
28:17to help her locate them.
28:18My father's hearing aids
28:19were trackable, too.
28:21He ever leave them in his car?
28:22All the time.
28:24Why?
28:29If I'm right,
28:30your dad's car
28:31is at the Starlight Sands Motel
28:33in Florida City.
28:34Does that mean anything to you?
28:37If Danny went there,
28:38I have no idea why.
28:40ooh,
29:07ooh,
29:08ooh,
29:15hey what's up report just came back from the lab the dna under about the star's fingernails
29:20isn't a match for his grandson saying i just drove all the way to florida city for no reason
29:25what nothing sorry here's the crazy part the dna is a match for dna from an unsolved homicide back
29:32in 92 92 it's a cuban defector gave up intel on cuban operatives inside the u.s in exchange for
29:38asylum case went cold but the fbi always suspected the g2 and get this the murder weapon was some
29:44kind of ligature same as arturo and balthazar yeah exactly oh hey i gotta go that's my friend at the
29:51fbi i gotta tell her there might really be a cuban spy out there hey are you the guy come
29:59on are you
29:59him my name is rj decker i'm a private investigator i'm here because i think you might be in danger
30:05danny i know you have the grandfather and his friend rob that grocery store they're dead i'm
30:11worried you could be next i heard about bouts are on the news how do i know you're not the
30:16one who
30:16killed him and me abuelo you don't but take this i'll stand here you call the cops they come get
30:21us
30:21both a minute ago you said are you the guy what did that mean are you supposed to meet someone
30:27here
30:28i uh i don't know his name abuelo just told me that if anything ever happened to him i had
30:34to get
30:34this this lock box he kept under his floorboards in his room bring it here he said to this motel
30:40and wait for someone to come and pick it up you say why you have to do all that he
30:44just said for
30:44la patria for the homeland this is gonna sound kind of crazy but i think maybe it's why him and
30:52bouts are were killed where's the box now danny you didn't open it i didn't think i should
31:08uh wedlow back in the day he was like a i don't know like a robin hood meets james bond
31:14he was a uh dissident yeah i know the stories he told me the stuff he got out to could
31:20be anything
31:21in there like microfilm or plants for some nerve gas or tips to feed on the russians you know
31:28that's all i know bore your knife
31:43well it's very nice your grandfather wanted the cuban people to have this
31:46but of all the things i've heard are in short supply there
31:52baseballs are not one of them
32:04i can't believe abuela would do me like this man
32:07punk me or test me whatever this whole thing was
32:14did he arturo it was what he was 85 years old maybe
32:18maybe lost step he got confused no man no he was he was sharp as a tack
32:23your mom she told me how close you guys were
32:27when i was uh struggling
32:32and making bad decisions abuelo
32:35he didn't punish me he didn't even lecture
32:38he just he gave me jobs to do you know
32:42the reason to show up and do better
32:46i saw i would have done anything he asked
32:48like rob a supermarket
32:49we didn't steal from that store just for money
32:51it was for the people struggling in cuba
32:54let's pretend for a second this does matter
32:56did arturo ever say anything about what was inside the box
33:00no just that but he took it from right under fiden's nose
33:03and that he didn't want to return to cuba until its people were free
33:07no i figured some friend or some other dissident would show up take it off my hands but
33:12i mean the only person who showed up was you
33:15yeah say some guy was supposed to meet you he could have been arturo's age older
33:19maybe the reason he didn't show is because he's been gone for years
33:23so what do we do now
33:25well we're gonna tell your mom you're safe
33:27then you should sleep here tonight there's a fold-out cot in the storage closet

34:35that was all she wrote
34:36yeah he's had a rough couple of days
34:38yeah um you uh
34:41you're positive he's not a serial strangler right
34:44oh yeah like 90 percent
34:47let me ask you something
34:49can you think of any reason why the cuban government would kill two old guys over a baseball
34:55well
34:55it's a fact castro thought he was a hell of a ball player
34:58he was not
35:00but maybe he popped that baby over a fence one time
35:03because some scared pitcher lobbed him a meatball
35:06cubans want to put it in a museum or something
35:15do me a favor
35:16go stand over there for me please
35:19okay
35:24all right what you got
35:27yeah all right
35:32roll it back
35:37that way it rolls that ball ain't regulation
35:40the guy sits over there in the jimmy buffett tribute band
35:43he works at an overnight animal hospital doesn't he
35:47yeah why
35:50i'm just saying wish
35:52a favor like this could be repaid with a gig at the bar
35:55you know i've heard you play before right
35:57yeah man but we're so much better now
35:59look jimmy himself couldn't tell the difference between his
36:02bam-a-breeze and ours
36:03baseball talk now
36:05gig talk later
36:09who cares
36:14well
36:16orange is that what i think it is
36:18a literal baseball diamond
36:20it's like the song man
36:21diamond as big as the reds
36:24it's like jimmy's here with us
36:26well if that thing's real that's gotta be worth what millions tens of millions
36:29well in the morning i'm gonna ask the person who killed arturo and baltazar
36:34because i know who it is now
36:47hello i'm back sorry to keep you waiting this is my friend detective abreu
36:51please it was so sweet of you to bring me this cafe con leche not to mention recovering
36:56some of the items danny stole from me
36:59well actually it's only one item we have it in another room follow me
37:14my grandfather didn't get to bring much when he was exiled
37:18but he brought this
37:21he played for a kipokuwa
37:24this
37:26this was from his last game
37:30it meant everything to him
37:32it's a great story
37:34can i tell you another one
37:37once upon a time there was a 25 carat diamond
37:41it was gifted to the first lady of cuba almost 100 years ago
37:44in 1926 it was embedded into the floor of the national capital building in havana
37:49in the 40s it was replaced with a replica
37:52the real stone is at least according to the government locked away in cuba's central bank
37:56now imagine if two anti-castro troublemakers
38:01guys like your pals arturo and balthazar managed to steal it in the 1970s and disappeared
38:07the regime would never admit it right it's too embarrassing
38:09but if a cuban operative in florida infiltrated in an exile advocacy group and overheard two guys bragging about robbing
38:16that bank
38:17havana might put two and two together and change their spies objective
38:22get the diamond back
38:29thank you
38:31is that
38:32is that my coffee
38:33it is
38:34my friend here he didn't bring you a cafe con leche to be nice
38:37he did it so he could get your dna
38:39pretty sure it's gonna tell you about the czar's murder and the execution of a defector back in 92
38:45you're you're both crazy i'm an old woman the other day you told me you overheard balthazar and arturo playing
38:52the whippies heist right
38:54that part's probably true but you also saw an opportunity arturo would be tied up cameras would be down you
38:59could walk in torture him make him tell you where the diamond was
39:04maybe he told you it was in the baseball
39:06maybe it was balthazar
39:08by the way you made damn sure it was on the list of things you said danny stole from you
39:13the list by the way it's where you slipped up
39:17nothing about danny said he killed his grandfather
39:19nothing
39:20so it made me wonder who put me on his trail to begin with
39:26you
39:29arturo and balthazar were gusanos who stole what didn't belong to them
39:35the diamond belongs to cuba
39:38paid for in blood
39:40and revolution
39:41oh my god
39:42you have the right to remain silent
39:44anything you say can and will be held against you
39:47in a court of law
39:54okay so good news
39:56talk to my point person at whippies
39:58they're not gonna press charges for the heist
40:00seriously
40:00you are banned from ever visiting another whippies location
40:03but still
40:04i think it's a pretty good deal
40:06i just i still can't believe it was isabel out there killing people
40:09she was always so nice
40:10yeah she was my first spy
40:13007
40:1429 years old
40:16but i guess the good ones are good actors
40:19i'm just i'm glad she didn't know what she was after
40:23how about that
40:24according to the feds the cuban government is officially denying the diamond was ever stolen
40:29yeah they're still climbing it's safe and sound inside their vault in havana
40:34i swear if pablo was here he'd laugh so hard at that
40:37it gets funnier
40:40the cubans won't admit the diamond was ever stolen from them they can't claim it
40:43for now the diamond's locked up in evidence until isabel is prosecuted but when the dust settles
40:51there's a very good chance that diamond will be returned
40:54to you
40:55what
40:55that was your grandfather's
40:57you were the last one in possession
40:59what the hell am i supposed to do with it
41:01for me i would sell it very publicly
41:04the cubans are going to send more spies it won't be you they're coming after
41:07you could
41:09buy yourself and your mom the future your grandfather fought to make possible
41:14or
41:15or you could use the money to honor his legacy
41:18find new ways to help the people he was trying to help
