06:5285 years old

07:24i've heard a couple of csu guys talking
07:26okay
07:27also i watch bones
07:28of course
07:31there were ligature marks
07:32on arturo's neck
07:34strong evidence of strangulation
07:36as cause of death
07:37emmy still needs to confirm but
07:41bruising doesn't happen post-mortem
07:42sir
07:43step away from the table
07:44yeah yeah of course
07:45not gonna warn you again
07:46my bad
07:48kevin
07:50just to be clear
07:50my fee structure changes when the job goes from loss prevention
07:54to homicide
07:56oh
07:57you're not here to solve the murder
07:59you're here to find my stolen inventory
08:03oh
08:05okay so
08:06watch what happens
08:08at 11 56
08:11so i'm thinking
08:12emp device
08:14like an ocean's 11
08:15an emp device
08:17to rob a supermarket
08:19danny ocean stole what
08:20a couple hundred mil
08:21retail theft is a hundred billion dollar industry
08:24okay well let's assume for a second
08:25this wasn't the work of danny ocean
08:27the cameras can only be shut down from the inside
08:29pull up the backroom feeds
08:34we talked about this
08:36cameras in the backroom
08:37and we talked about this day one
08:38i i know i know
08:39i've been waiting for corporate to approve the request
08:42and that takes time
08:44all right
08:44well what about arturo
08:45any of the guys who did this
08:47they coerced him
08:47he 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
08:57all of them
08:58pull them up for me
09:01yeah
09:01yeah yeah yeah
09:10there
09:11watch the bottom shelf
09:12on the left there
09:16you said the police didn't find any evidence of a break
09:18and it's because it wasn't a break in
09:20it was a break out
09:31okay so he camps on the shelf till closing
09:34kills the cameras
09:35then signals his crew to roll in
09:37but they hit a snack
09:38they weren't alone
09:39and arturo stumbles onto them
09:41yeah it's the tidy version
09:43i checked out the electrical ring
09:45panels breakers
09:46circuit 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 post that
10:00yeah but watch
10:01same time different part of the store
10:02see arturo hears the cans but he goes right on working
10:05check his face
10:06it's the same look you give me when i move 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
10:22and then his partner stuck it to him
10:24store closes at 10
10:269 50
10:28and then
10:31this was planned it was coordinated
10:33if arturo was involved we need to talk to his family
10:35see who he's been hanging out with lately
10:42the supermarket
10:43thinks you're out looking for their groceries
10:45but the truth is
10:46you're just using that to go out onto a murder investigation
10:49you know what
10:50i knew arturo okay i liked him
10:52he was always working hard always smiling
10:54besides we find the groceries we find the killer
10:57here we go
11:00uh excuse me
11:01we're looking for arturo's daughter maria
11:11i don't speak spanish either
11:20baltazar
11:22don't mind baltazar
11:24he's an old amargao
11:25and joy's being difficult
11:27we're just looking for maria
11:28she's inside
11:29in the kitchen
11:30thank you
11:34i hope you don't mind me saying
11:35but you don't seem all that surprised
11:37your dad might have been involved in a robbery
11:39i'm not
11:41not exactly
11:41i 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
11:53or bombs
11:55he was about theft
11:58sabotage
11:58being a thorn in fide castro's side
12:00one time he hijacked a government truck
12:02full of tvs and radios
12:04confiscated from families labeled gusano
12:06so um gusanos what's this
12:08maggots
12:09it was what castro called anyone who opposed him
12:12and what did he sell the electronics
12:14he gave them back to the families
12:16all of his mischief
12:19was 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
12:34but not until Cuba was free again
12:36how do you take the idea
12:38of retiring from the supermarket
12:40hate it is
12:41exiles don't know the meaning of slowing down
12:43we think that frustration got him tangled up
12:45with the wrong people
12:47they killed him to get his cut of the profits
12:50um
12:54do you know who these guys might be
12:58the taller one
12:59no but the short one

14:58and 1 a.m last night that's it let me see ah yes with your mother was your mom hiding
15:06behind a
15:06bunch of paper towels on a shelf last night because we know you were mr cruz we have video
15:12deep fake why'd you run from us then yes i'm allergic to fascists funny i'm allergic to
15:18guys who kill their oldest friends to take their share of the proceeds from a heist
15:24okay i helped arturo rub this door but i did not kill him okay who did that
15:32hey hey those now let's say you hey reda l hey dos what is this is this a gang sort
15:37of the g2
15:37cuban intelligence service it's like um their version of the cia what do you mean like spies
15:42arturo was not murdered arturo was assassinated
15:57as all of us it was a three-man crew arturo planned everything i hide wait for the store to
16:04close go
16:05back uh cut the power we load the truck leave arturo tied up wait for the morning shift to find
16:12him
16:12and make it look like he's an innocent victim you were right about arturo not wanting to retire
16:18but the store they say oh you're old useless that's how the cuban government would do it decide for you
16:26no you mean like when you were dissidents activists if you didn't promise freedom justice
16:34instead we get fear misery the people who have money they left arturo and i we stayed somebody had to
16:45fight one time one time we even broke into el banco nacional you robbed the bank only to take
16:55what already belonged to the people for the homeland for the homeland
17:00los militantes question us they beat us gave me the stupid limp they could prove nothing
17:08but we knew eventually it wouldn't matter what they could prove
17:15so you fled came here you started over here in america we resisted even here we helped others
17:20escape we ran boats to save the balceros but now we're old the fight is different we work with
17:30other exiles to send donations what about the donations you helped yourself to at the store you did
17:36that where are those on a caribbean cruise to havana but turo was like it's like family
17:48i yell at him for 50 years but kill him no
18:00it was the regime they are finally coming for us give us the name of the third member of your
18:08crew the guy that helped you hide behind the paper towels you think i'm some crazy old man
18:13you think he killed arturo maybe we just want to make sure the g2 they don't get him next
18:19the third man he and i left together he never heard arturo the assassin he must have been just
18:29minutes behind too late for us but not arturo
18:38hey mija i need to send a letter to fidel ahora mismo
18:48dale dale
18:49a letter to fidel oh that's an old cuban expression it 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 i mean
19:10i believe he believes it yeah yeah we actually would talk about the revolution when castro took
19:16over neighbors turned on each other you know one accusation one word lusano armed militantes would
19:22drag you from your home executions they weren't just public they were televised now do i think a spy
19:28killed arturo over powdered milk no i still like it that said hombre the third man yeah baltazar said they
19:34left together he could have circled back strangle that dude while he was still tied up odds of
19:39getting his name out of baltazar i'll charge him with theft lean on him with jail time but
19:45if he really withstood torture from the regime odds are probably zero
20:07he's not going to be a problem
20:07decker investigation slope mr decker yeah i'm sorry to call so early my name is isabel i am a friend
20:13of
20:14arturo's we met at his house yesterday yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah hi uh the front yard i remember how
20:19can i help you his daughter told me you're investigating what happened she gave me your number i i may
20:25have
20:25information for you
20:33i usually go all the way to hialeah for a cafe con leche it is perfect owner of ventanita on
20:40calle ocho
20:41may have let his family recipe slip after one too many rum shots one night
20:48so you were saying on the phone you you might know something about what happened to arturo
20:53i sometimes help out at an exile advocacy group oh is it the same one baltazar and arturo belong to
21:01the 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 a little job you speak spanish
21:15do you think they were talking about the whippy's robbery at the time i didn't know what they meant
21:23but now yes i heard them say they wanted to bring in danny arturo's grandson to help
21:30the boy has trouble in him criminal trouble gang friends he's been arrested for stealing
21:39a few months ago arturo brought him to my house to help with repairs days later things were missing
21:45and i just knew i told arturo but he didn't want to believe it and now arturo is dead and
21:55according to maria danny disappeared yesterday what do you mean disappeared
21:59maria told him arturo had died and he just left she thinks he's grieving but you think he may
22:07actually be on the run i 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 i've seen family turn on family for less
22:23is there is there something else i know finding arturo's killer is what matters but if you find danny
22:34could you also look for the things he took from me of course yeah i'll do what i can thank
22:41you mijo
22:43what do you got john doe spotted him during my regular patrol at the bike path
22:47thought he might have fallen asleep but then i saw the wounds to his neck no wallet no phone
22:52probably stolen thought about canvassing the nursing home see if anyone's missing any residence
22:55uh no need i can make the id
23:00his name's balthazar cruz he was in the station last night he even used our bathroom
23:12his son tony bailed him out last night they got into an argument balthazar didn't like being
23:17lectured so he left tony said he went to the park sometimes to clear his head any cameras in the
23:22area and they caught anything useful on the plus side the emmy did pull skin from under his nails
23:28so balthazar fought back we're running it through codis any luck we'll find a match
23:34you might want to run it against arturo's dna too see if you get a familial hit
23:39i met with one of arturo's friends this morning she thinks his grandson danny might be our third man
23:43she told me he's been in trouble with a lot before and that he took off right after arturo's body
23:47was
23:47found balthazar thought the stuff they stole was already on its way to cuba maybe it wasn't maybe danny
23:54stashed it somewhere now with balthazar dead there's no one left to split the take i'll put
23:59out an apb on danny poppy the whole back patio at lunch hour no less you know this isn't good
24:14for
24:14joaquin's business i like the quiet you wanted to see me because actually you set this meeting
24:23only reason to visit ray at a shop is to summon me so tell me how can i help
24:33ray wouldn't admit it but i know he broke into a home owned by a fort lauderdale homicide detective
24:39and a journalist for the broward county herald just like i know you're the one who asked him to do
24:44it
24:47nothing to say sorry i was just thinking about my old friend ed carter
24:56how he had a very honest conversation with you
25:01only to find out later you were wearing a wire do you think i would do that to you these
25:06days mija the
25:08things you do the company you keep none of it makes much sense to me
25:17explain that that journalist you mentioned katherine delacroix a few weeks ago it becomes apparent she's
25:24taking an interest in our family she starts making calls calls get made to me
25:31i find out that she used to be married to someone we both know
25:38are you really going to pretend that you haven't been in touch with rj dekler
25:43what we did to him was for what he did to lucas lucas who was in the commission of a
25:48crime that night
25:49lucas who threw the first punch no one hurts an ochoa and gets away with it
25:59the night ray broke into the house
26:03was he looking for something or was it just to scare them how many years have i protected you from
26:10the things you don't want to know are you really asking me to stop now
26:18maybe i am
26:23let's just say ray won't be paying them a second visit
26:32if you're thinking about telling your new friend i wouldn't
26:37you sound afraid he has a temper mija just ask your brother
26:43the last thing i would want is for things to
26:48escalate
27:02first my father not by the side
27:04and you have no idea who killed them specifically no
27:09but we think there's a good chance it was the people or person they were planning on selling the goods
27:13to
27:14i can't believe those vehicles drive my son into their stupid plan
27:17you help me find him i can keep him safe where the police get a handle on what's going on
27:23he took his grandfather's death very hard
27:27danny fell into the wrong crowd after his father died
27:33he made bad choices
27:36but my father saw a bit of himself and danny you know he pulled him back he taught him the
27:42difference
27:42between good trouble and bad when i told danny he was gone he
27:48he couldn't even speak he just drove off in his grandfather's car he even forgot to take his phone
27:57i'm sorry danny left his phone behind i think it was the shock and you have no idea where
28:01he might have gone i'm sorry may i
28:06your dad's wearing two hearing aids here but i know csu only recovered one from the scene
28:12i'm not surprised he was always losing one or the other my ex-wife grandmother she had the same
28:16problem but she had an app to help her locate them my father's hearing aids were trackable too
28:20he ever leave him in his car all the time why
28:29if i'm right your dad's car is at the starlight sands motel in florida city does that
28:35does that mean anything to you if danny went there i have no idea why
29:16what's up report just came back from the lab
29:18the dna under balthazar's fingernails isn't a match for his grandson saying i just drove all
29:23the way to florida city for no reason what nothing sorry here's the crazy part the dna is a match
29:30for
29:30dna from an unsolved homicide back in 92 92 it was a cuban defector gave up intel on cuban
29:36operatives inside the u.s in exchange for asylum case went cold but the fbi always suspected the g2 and
29:42get this the murder weapon was some kind of legature same as arturo and baltazar yeah exactly oh hey i
29:49gotta go that's my friend at the fbi i gotta tell her there might really be a cuban spy out
29:54there hey
29:57are you the guy come on are you him my name's rj decker i'm a private investigator i'm here because
30:04i think you might be in danger danny i know you helped the grandfather and his friend rob that grocery
30:08store they're dead i'm worried you could be next i heard about baltazar on the news how do i know
30:16you're
30:16the one who killed him and me abuelo you don't but but take this i'll stand here you call the
30:21cops they
30:21come get us both a minute ago you said are you the guy what did that mean are you supposed
30:27to meet
30:27someone here i uh i don't know his name abuelo just told me that if anything ever happened to him
30:33i had
30:34to get this this lock box he kept under his floorboards in his room bring it here he said to
30:39this 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
30:46for the homeland this is going to sound kind of crazy but i think maybe it's why him and baltazar
30:53were killed where's the box now danny you didn't open it i didn't think i should uh well back in
31:09the day
31:09he was like a i don't know like a robin hood meets james bond he was a uh dissident yeah
31:16i know the
31:17stories he told me the stuff he got out to could be anything in there microfilm or plants for some
31:24nerve gas or tips to feed on the russians you know that's all i know borrow your knife
31:43what'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 punk me or test me whatever this whole thing was
32:14diddy arturo he was what he was 85 years old maybe maybe lost a step he got confused no man
32:21no
32:22he was he was sharp as a tack your mom she told me how close you guys were yeah when
32:28i was uh struggling
32:32and making bad decisions abuelo he didn't punish me didn't even lecture
32:38he just he gave me jobs to do you know the reason to show up and do better
32:46i saw i would have done anything he asked like rob a supermarket we didn't steal from that store
32:51just for money it was for the people struggling in cuba let's pretend for a second this does matter
32:56did arturo ever say anything about what was inside the box no just that but he took it from right
33:02under
33:03free that his nose and that he didn't want to return to cuba until its people were free you know
33:07i figured some friend or some other dissident would show up to get off my hands but
33:13i mean the only person who showed up was you yeah say some guy was supposed to meet you he
33:18could
33:18have been arturo's age older maybe the reason it didn't show is because he's been gone for years
33:23so so what do we do now well we're going to tell your mom you're safe
33:27then you should sleep here tonight there's a fold-out cot in the storage closet i'll get it

34:50why
34:50the cuban government would kill two old guys over a baseball well it's a fact castro thought he was a
34:58hell of a ball player he was not but maybe he popped that baby over a fence one time because
35:04some
35:04scared pitcher lobbed him a meatball cubans want to put it in a museum or something
35:15do me a favor go stand over there for me please okay

35:56you play
35:57before right yeah man but we're so much better now look jimmy himself couldn't tell the difference
36:02between his bam-a-breeze and ours baseball talk now gig talk later
36:09okay
36:15oh orange is that what i think it is a literal baseball diamond it's like the song man diamond as
36:22big as the
36:22reds it's like jimmy's here with us well if that thing's real that's got to be worth what millions
36:29tens of millions well in the morning i'm gonna ask the person who killed arturo and baltasar
36:34because i know who it is now
36:47hello i'm back sorry to keep you waiting this is my friend detective abreuil please
36:51it was so sweet of you to bring me this cafe con leche not to mention recovering some of the
36:57items
36:57danny stole from me well actually it's 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 but he brought this
37:21he played for equipo cuba this this was from his last game
37:30it meant everything to him it's a great story can i tell you another one once upon a time there
37:39was a
37:3925 carat diamond it was gifted to the first lady of cuba almost 100 years ago in 1926 it was
37:46embedded
37:47into the floor of the national capital building in havana in the 40s it was replaced with a replica
37:53the real stone is at least according to the government locked away in cuba's central bank
37:57now imagine if two anti-castro troublemakers guys like your pals arturo and baltasar managed to steal
38:05it in the 1970s and disappeared the regime would never admit it right it's too embarrassing but if a
38:15guy's bragging about robbing that bank havana might put two and two together and change their spy's
38:20objective get the diamond back
38:29thank you is that is that my coffee it is my friend here he didn't bring you a cafe con
38:37leche to be nice
38:37he did it so he could get your dna pretty sure it's gonna tie you to baltazar's murder and the
38:42execution of a defector back in 92. you you're both crazy i'm an old woman the other day you told
38:50me
38:50you overheard baltazar and arturo planning a whitby's heist right that part's probably true but you also
38:56saw an opportunity arturo would be tied up cameras would be down you could walk in torture him make him
39:01tell you where the diamond was maybe he told you it was in the baseball maybe it was baltazar
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 nothing about danny said he killed his grandfather
39:20nothing so it made me wonder who put me on his trail to begin with
39:26you
39:29arturo and baltazar were gusanos who stole what didn't belong to them the diamond belongs to cuba
39:38paid for in blood and revolution oh my god you have the right to remain silent anything you say
39:45can and will be held against you in a court of law
39:54okay so good news talk to my point person at whitby's they're not gonna press charges for the
40:00heist seriously you are banned from ever visiting another whitby's location but still i think it's
40:05a pretty good deal i just i still can't believe it was isabel out there killing people she was always
40:10so nice yeah she was my first spy 007 29 years old but i guess the good ones they're good
40:17actors
40:19i'm just i'm glad she didn't know what she was after
40:23about that according to the feds the cuban government is officially denying the diamond was ever stolen
40:30yeah they're still climbing it's safe and sound inside their vault in havana
40:34i swear if father was here he'd laugh so hard at that it gets funnier the cubans won't admit the
40:41diamond was ever stolen from them they can't claim it for now the diamond's locked up in evidence until
40:46isabel is prosecuted but when the dust settles
40:51there's a very good chance a diamond will be returned to you what that was your grandfather's
40:57you were the last one in possession the hell am i supposed to do with it for me i would
41:02sell it
41:02very publicly the cubans are going to send more spies it won't be you they're coming after you could
41:09buy yourself and your mom the future your grandfather fought to make possible
41:15or or you could use the money to honor his legacy find new ways to help the people he was
41:20trying to help
41:22for the patria
41:27for the patria
41:44excuse me i have a reservation under my friend's name emmy ochoa but doesn't look like you guys are open
