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 orders 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 it
00:31I didn't break in
00:33That's bull
00:33I'm telling the truth
00:37Three, 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
00:58Or budgets
00:59It's about investing in people
01:01In hope
01:06Hey
01:07Just a couple more things
01:09Yeah, and then I'm gonna go to the lottery line
01:13Okay
01:14Okay

01:19Price check on item until $17
01:40Thanks for shopping your whippies
01:41Thanks for shopping your whippies
01:42Thanks for shopping your whippies
01:51Excuse me, sir
01:53I think you forgot to pay for that
01:55Oh, I'm sorry, did I miss something?
01:58Yeah, the whole cart
01:59Your friend in the lotto line
02:00She bagged him up to look paid for when you walked out
02:02Dude, how is this any of your business?
02:04My name is RJ Decker, loss prevention detective
02:09That sounds made up
02:10It's not made up
02:11I'm under contract with the whippies chain
02:13I blend in and I watch
02:15I make sure nothing goes out unpaid
02:17So you're a undercover supermarket cop?
02:21Most days I'm a PI
02:24Produce inspector?
02:25No
02:26I'm a pro...
02:28You know what?
02:29I want to go back inside
02:30We'll sort this out quietly
02:31No cops
02:32Right
02:33Yeah, why wouldn't you call the cops?
02:34Cause cops mean reports
02:36And statements
02:37And a court date six months from now
02:39Where I gotta wear a tie and explain shrinkflation to a judge
02:41I don't want that
02:42You don't want that
02:44Don't take the eggs, man
02:45You take the eggs
02:46I'm gonna chase you
02:48Please?
02:49Oh, honey!
02:50I 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
03:07Weak morals
03:09But strong legs
03:10This is true
03:11Leave everything here
03:12I'll put it back on the shelf myself
03:14Okay?
03:15Okay
03:15Thanks, Arturo
03:16Now smile
03:17We'll catch the next one
03:44Yeah?
03:45You forgot about dinner
03:46I forgot about dinner
03:48I waited 30 minutes
03:51That reservation wasn't easy to get
03:54Even for me
03:55Long day
03:56Have a beer with me
03:58An apology beer
04:00Please
04:03Coming right up
04:08There you go
04:08There you go
04:09So what happened?
04:11Grand theft?
04:13Avocado?
04:13At work today?
04:14No
04:15I was working on the robbery at Mel and Cass house
04:17I thought that was your old prison buddy
04:19The guy who robbed the armored truck
04:21Well, it turns out he and his partner, they had an alibi
04:24He said someone else must be coming after us
04:27I think he might be just messing with my head
04:28Because I've been at it a week now
04:30And everything says run-of-the-mill burglar to me
04:33Lot of work for run-of-the-mill
04:35Well, Mel's daughter Sophia
04:36She's been having nightmares since it happened
04:38So I figured
04:40Catch the guy
04:40We go sleep better
04:45Is this a suspect?
04:47To be determined
04:48Yeah, a neighbor reported seeing a suspicious man in the neighborhood
04:52But she's the type who sees a lot of suspicious men in the neighborhood
04:55Yeah
04:56So, who knows?
05:02You look amazing, by the way
05:05I know
05:10This tastes like hot yoga
05:13Yeah, it's the hops
05:15Buy bitter beer at the supermarket tomorrow
05:19Hey, that's it?
05:21Let me make it up to you
05:22The dinner, please
05:25Good luck with your side quest
05:34Night crew never tosses their boxes
05:37Who closed?
05:39Wait, let me guess
05:41Terry
05:41The man works hard all night
05:44Making sure none of this gets done
05:46Hmm
06:02What the hell?
06:03That didn't sound like boxes
06:06Oh
06:07Oh
06:08Oh
06:08Oh
06:09Oh
06:09Oh
06:10Oh
06:11Oh
06:12Oh
06:14Oh
06:15Oh
06:16Oh
06:17Oh
06:17Oh
06:18Oh
06:19Oh
06:20Oh
06:21Oh
06:27Oh
06:30Oh
06:33Oh
06:34Oh
06:39Oh
06:41Oh
06:41Oh
06:43they killed one of our employees what Arturo Correa Arturo the sweet old guy
06:50that works at the front they killed him 85 years old been with us for decades
06:55and get this he was just three weeks from retirement yeah I'm confused why
06:58was he working at night can't wax the floors while stores open
07:02Kerps restrained him in an office chair killed him then threw his body in the
07:06baler the baler the thing that crushes up the boxes Sarah the stock clerk found
07:12the body she worried that she killed him when she turned the baler on but I
07:16told her liver temp indicated he'd been dead for at least four hours prior
07:22how do you know all that I've heard a couple of CSU guys talking okay also I
07:28watch bones of course the ligature marks on Arturo's neck strong evidence of
07:35strangulation as cause of death ME still needs to confirm but bruising doesn't
07:41happen post-mortem sir step away from the tape yeah yeah of course not gonna
07:45warn you again my bad Kevin just to be clear my fee structure change is when the
07:52job goes from loss prevention to homicide oh you're not here to solve the murder
07:58here to find my stolen inventory oh okay so watch what happens at 11 56
08:11so I'm thinking EMP device like an oceans 11 an EMP device to rob a supermarket Danny Ocean stole what
08:20a couple hundred mil retail theft is a hundred billion dollar industry okay well let's assume for a
08:25second this wasn't the work of Danny Ocean the cameras can only be shut down from
08:29the inside pull up the backroom feeds we talked about this cameras in the backroom and we talked
08:37about this day one I I know I know I've been waiting for corporate to approve the request and that
08:42takes
08:42time all right well what about Arturo you have the guys who did this they
08:47coerced to me turned off the cameras first thing the cops and I checked yes
08:53see all right pull up all the feeds the sales floor all of them pull them up for me
09:11there watch the bottom shelf on the left there
09:16you said the police didn't find any evidence of a break and it's because it wasn't a break in
09:20it was a break out
09:31okay so he camps on the shuttle closing kills the cameras then signals his crew to roll in
09:37but they had a snack they weren't alone and Arturo stumbles onto them yeah it's the tidy version
09:43I checked out the electrical ring panels breakers circuit boards everywhere this guy's not finding
09:49the switch to cut the power by accident I think it was an inside job actually I know it was
09:53watch
09:53this mira if I didn't know a guy died last night I would post that yeah but watch same time
10:01different
10:02part of the store see Arturo hears the cans but he goes right on working check his face it's the
10:06same look you give me when I moved the thermostat by like one degree irritation yeah you think our
10:12victim was the inside man I talked to the guy that hired me Arturo was weeks away from retirement
10:17but I dug deeper he was getting pushed out Arturo decided to stick it to the store and then his
10:23partner stuck it to him store closes at 10 9 50 and then this was planned it was coordinated if
10:33Arturo was involved we need to talk to his family see who's been hanging out with lately
10:42the supermarket thinks you're out looking for their groceries but the truth is you're just using
10:47that to go out onto a murder investigation you know what I knew Arturo okay I liked him he was
10:52always working hard always smiling besides we find the groceries we find the killer
11:00excuse me we're looking for Arturo's daughter Maria
11:15I don't speak Spanish either
11:22Baltazar don't mind Baltazar he's an old amargao he enjoys being difficult we're just looking for
11:27Maria she's inside in the kitchen thank you I hope you don't mind me saying but you don't seem all
11:36that surprised your dad might have been involved in a robbery I'm not not exactly I just thought this
11:43part of his life was in the past your father had a criminal history no not like you think he
11:48was an
11:48anti-castro dissident in Cuba he wasn't violent he wasn't about arson or or bombs he was about
11:56theft sabotage being a thorn in Fide Castro's side one time he hijacked a government truck full of TVs
12:03and radios confiscated from families labeled gusano gusanos was this maggots it was what Castro
12:10called anyone who opposed him and did he sell the electronics he gave them back to the families
12:16all of his mischief was for Cuba and its people but by 1974 he felt those walls closing in
12:25and he was worried that he would get disappeared so he came here but he always dreamt of going back
12:34but not until Cuba was free again how do you take the idea of retiring from the supermarket
12:40hated it exiles don't know the meaning of slowing down we think that frustration got him tangled up
12:45with the wrong people they killed him to get his cut of the profits um
12:54do you know who these guys might be
12:58the taller one no but the short one with the limp that's my father's oldest friend

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.
15:17Funny.
15:18I'm allergic to guys who kill their oldest friends who take their share of the proceeds from a heist.
15:23Okay.
15:24I helped Arturo rub this door.
15:26But I did not kill him.
15:28Okay.
15:29Who did that?
15:32El G2.
15:33Habla en serio.
15:34Es verdad.
15:34El G2.
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, like spies?
15:43Arturo was not murdered.
15:45Arturo was assassinated.
15:56As all of us, it 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.
16:18But 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 had 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 the homeland.
17:00Los militantes question us.
17:02They beat us.
17:03Gave me the 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.
17:17Started over here in America.
17:18We resisted even here.
17:19We helped others escape.
17:21We ran boats to save the balceros.
17:23But now we're old.
17:27The fight is different.
17:30We 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.
17:42Arturo was like...
17:44It was like family.
17:48I yelled at him for 50 years.
17:52But kill him?
17:54No.
17:56Nunca.
17:59It 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.
18:19The third man, he and I left together.
18:23He never hurt Arturo, the 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?
18:53Oh, that's an old Cuban expression.
18:55It means he has to use the bathroom.
18:57Hmm?
18:57Uh-uh.
18:58Uh-uh.
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.
19:13Yeah.
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, gusano.
19:21Armed militantes would drag you from your home.
19:24Executions, they weren't just public, they were televised.
19:27Now, do I think a spy killed Arturo over powdered milk?
19:29No.
19:30I still like a tercer hombre, the third man.
19:33Yeah, Baltazar said they left together.
19:34He could have circled back, strangled Arturo while he was still tied up.
19:39Odds of getting his name out of Baltazar.
19:42I'll charge him with theft, lean on him with jail time, but if he really withstood torture from the regime,
19:48odds 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.
20:18How 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 café con leche this perfect.
20:38The owner of Ventanita on Calle Ocho may have let his family recipe slip after one too many rum shots
20:45one night.
20:48So, you were saying on the phone you might know something about what happened to Arturo.
20:53I sometimes help out at an exile advocacy group.
20:57Is 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.
21:12A little job?
21:13You speak Spanish?
21:14Ruipoco.
21:16Do 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.
21:38A 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.
21:58What 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 abuelo to get his share?
22:16Ay, mijo.
22:17I've seen family turn on family for less.
22:23Is there something else?
22:26I know finding Arturo's killer is what matters, but if you find Danny, could you also look for
22:35the things he took from me?
22:37Of course.
22:38Yeah, I'll do what I can.
22:40Thank you, mijo.
22:43What do you got?
22:44John Doe.
22:45I spotted him during my regular patrol at the bike path.
22:47I thought he might have fallen asleep, but then I saw the wounds to his neck.
22:50No wallet, no phone, probably stolen.
22:53Thought about canvassing the nursing home to see 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.
23:15They got into an argument.
23:17Balthazar 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?
23:23None of them 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, see 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 the law before and that he took off right after Arturo's body
23:47was 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.
24:13You 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 meeting.
24:22Only reason to visit Ray at a shop is to summon me.
24:26So, tell me.
24:28How can I help?
24:32Ray 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.
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 she'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 to someone we both know.
25:38Are you really going to pretend that 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.
25:50No one hurts in Ochoa and gets away with it.
25:54It's not sincere, how much?
25:59The night Ray broke into the house.
26:03Was he looking for something, or was it just to scare them?
26:08How many years have I protected you from 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 Ray won't be paying them a second visit.
26:32If you're thinking about telling your new friend, I wouldn't.
26:36You sound afraid.
26:38He has a temper, Mija.
26:40Just ask your brother.
26:43The last thing I would want is for things to...
26:48escalate.
27:02There's my father, now Bata, sir.
27:04Mm-hmm.
27:05And you have no idea who killed them?
27:07Specifically, 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.
27:18I can keep him safe before 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.
27:32He made bad choices.
27:36But my father saw a bit of himself in Danny.
27:40You know, he pulled him back.
27:42He taught him the difference between good trouble and bad.
27:45When I told Danny he was gone, he... he couldn't even speak.
27:50He just drove off in his grandfather's car.
27:52He even forgot to take his phone.
27:57So Danny left his phone behind?
27:58I think it was the shock.
28:00And you have no idea where he might have gone?
28:02I'm sorry.
28:03May 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.
28:13He was always losing one or the other.
28:15My ex-wife's grandmother, she had the same problem, but she had an app to help her locate them.
28:18My father's hearing aids were trackable, too.
28:21He ever leave them in his car?
28:22All the time.
28:24Why?
28:29If I'm right, your dad's car is at the Starlight Sands Motel in Florida City.
28:34Does that... does that mean anything to you?
28:37If Danny went there, I have no idea why.
29:16Hey, what's up?
29:17Report just came back from the lab.
29:19The DNA under Balthazar's fingernails isn't a match for his grandson.
29:22You're saying I just drove all the way to Florida City for no reason?
29:25What?
29:25Nothing. Sorry.
29:27Here's the crazy part.
29:28The DNA is a match for DNA from an unsolved homicide back in 92.
29:3392?
29:34It was a Cuban defector.
29:35Gave up intel on Cuban operatives inside the U.S. in exchange for asylum.
29:39Case went cold, but the FBI always suspected the G2.
29:41And get this, the murder weapon was some kind of ligature.
29:45Same as Arturo and Balthazar.
29:47Yeah, exactly.
29:49Oh, hey, I gotta go.
29:50That's my friend at the FBI.
29:51I gotta tell her there might really be a Cuban spy out there.
29:55Hey.
29:57Are you the guy?
29:58Come on, Ben, are you him?
30:00My name's R.J. Decker.
30:01I'm a private investigator.
30:03I'm here because I think you might be in danger, Danny.
30:05I know you helped the grandfather and his friend rob that grocery store.
30:10They're dead.
30:11I'm worried you could be next.
30:12I heard about Balthazar on the news.
30:15How do I know you're not the one who killed him and mi abuelo?
30:17You don't.
30:18But take this.
30:20I'll stand here.
30:20You call the cops.
30:21They come get us both.
30:23A minute ago you said, are you the guy?
30:25What did that mean?
30:26Are you supposed to meet someone here?
30:28I, uh, I don't know his name.
30:31Abuelo just told me that if anything ever happened to him,
30:34I had to get this, this lockbox he kept under his floorboards in his room.
30:38Bring it here, he said, to this motel.
30:40And wait for someone to come and pick it up.
30:42He said why he had to do all that?
30:43He just said por la patria.
30:46For the homeland.
30:48This is going to sound kind of crazy, but I think maybe it's why him and Balthazar were killed.
30:53Where's the box now, Danny?
31:05You didn't open it.
31:06I 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.
31:16Yeah, I know.
31:17The stories he told me, the stuff he got up to, could be anything in there.
31:21Like microfilm or plans for some nerve gas or tips to feed on the Russians, you know.
31:27Por la patria, that's all I know.
31:30Bore your knife?
31:43Well, it's very nice your grandfather wanted the Cuban people to have this.
31:47But of all the things I've heard are in short supply there.
31:52Baseballs are not one of them.
32:04I can't believe Abuelo would do me like this, man.
32:08Punk me or test me or whatever this whole thing was.
32:14Did he?
32:15Arturo, he was what?
32:16He was 85 years old.
32:17Maybe he, maybe he lost a step.
32:19He got confused.
32:20No, man, no.
32:22He was, he was sharp as a tack.
32:24Your mom, she told me how close you guys were.
32:27Yeah, when I was, uh, struggling and making bad decisions,
32:35Abuelo, he didn't punish me.
32:36He 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 how I'd done anything he asked.
32:48Like rob a supermarket?
32:50We didn't steal from that store just for money.
32:52It 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, that he took it from right under Fidel's nose.
33:04And that he didn't want to return to Cuba until its people were free.
33:07You know, I figured some friend or some other dissident would show up to get off my hands,
33:12but I mean the only person who showed up was you.
33:15Yeah, say some guy was supposed to meet you.
33:17He 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, so what do we do now?
33:25Well, we're going to tell your mom you're safe.
33:27Then you should sleep here tonight.
33:29There's a fold-out cot in the storage closet.
33:31I'll, I'll get it tomorrow morning.
33:33We're going to go to the police.
33:35We're going to tell him everything, including how you helped rob that store.
33:38Okay?
33:41Yeah, I understand.
33:45Danny.
33:46Don't go disappearing again, okay?
33:49No, I won't.
33:51I'll buy the worries me better than that.
34:07Hey, Decker Investigations.
34:09Mr. Decker, this is Claire at Emmy Ochoa's office.
34:11She asked me to set a lunch for the two of you for tomorrow.
34:14You're working pretty late, aren't you, Claire?
34:16I am, but she said it was important.
34:19If 1230 works for you, I'll send you an address in the morning.
34:22Sure, you can pencil me in.
34:24Thanks.
34:25Have a good night.
34:25You too.
34:29How's our guest?
34:31Boy, he's out cold.
34:33As soon as his head hit the pillow, that was all she wrote.
34:36Yeah, he's had a rough couple of days.
34:38Yeah.
34:38Um, you, um, you're positive he's not a serial strangler, right?
34:44Oh, yeah, like 90%.
34:47Let me ask you something.
34:48Can you think of any reason why the Cuban government would kill two old guys over a baseball?
34:55Well, it's a fact Castro thought he was a hell of a ball player.
34:59He was not.
35:00But maybe he popped that baby over a fence one time because 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.
35:35All right.
35:37That way it rolls, that ball ain't regulation.
35:41Guy sits over there in the Jimmy Buffett tribute band.
35:44He works at an overnight animal hospital, doesn't he?
35:47Yeah, why?
35:50I'm just saying, Wish, a favor like this could be repaid with a gig at the bar.
35:55You know I've heard you play before, right?
35:58Yeah, man, but we're so much better now.
36:00Look, Jimmy himself couldn't tell the difference between his Bama Breeze and ours.
36:03Yeah, baseball talk now.
36:06Gig talk later.
36:09Who cares?
36:12Who cares?
36:14Well, Orange, is that what I think it is?
36:18That 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 got to be worth, what, millions?
36:29Tens of millions?
36:30Well, in the morning, I'm going to ask the person who killed Arturo and Balthazar,
36:34because I know who it is now.
36:46Hello.
36:47I'm back.
36:48Sorry to keep you waiting.
36:49This is my friend, Detective Abreu.
36:51Please.
36:51It was so sweet of you to bring me this café con leche.
36:55Not to mention recovering some of the items Danny stole from me.
36:59Well, actually, it's only one item.
37:01We have it in another room.
37:02Follow me.
37:14My grandfather didn't get to bring much when he was exiled.
37:18But he brought this.
37:21He played for a quipocuba.
37:25This, this 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 Capitol Building in Havana.
37:50In 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.
37:57Now, imagine if two anti-Castro troublemakers, guys like your pals Arturo and Balthazar,
38:04managed to steal it in the 1970s and disappeared.
38:07The regime would never admit it, right?
38:09It's too embarrassing.
38:10But 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 spy's objective.
38:22Get the diamond back.
38:31Is that?
38:32Is that my coffee?
38:33Mm, it is.
38:35My friend here, he didn't bring you a Café con leche to be nice.
38:38He did it so he could get your DNA.
38:40Pretty sure it's going to tie you to Balthazar's murder and the execution of a defector back in 92.
38:45You're both crazy.
38:47I'm an old woman.
38:48The other day, you told me you overheard Balthazar and Arturo playing in the Whitby's heist, right?
38:54That part's probably true.
38:55But you also saw an opportunity.
38:57Arturo would be tied up.
38:58Cameras would be down.
38:59You could 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.
39:16But nothing 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 and revolution.
39:41Oh, my God.
39:42If I had more, you have the right to remain silent.
39:44And anything you say can and will be held against you in a court of law.
39:54Okay, so good news.
39:56Talk to my point person at Whitby's.
39:58They're not going to press charges for the heist.
40:00Seriously?
40:00You are banned from ever visiting another Whitby's location, but still, I 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, 29 years old.
40:16But I guess the good ones, they're good actors.
40:19I'm just, I'm glad she didn't get 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 claiming it's safe and sound inside their vault in Havana.
40:34I swear if Pablo was here, he'd laugh so hard at that.
40:38It gets funnier.
40:40The Cubans won't admit the diamond was ever stolen from them.
40:42They can't claim it.
40:44For now, the diamond's locked up in evidence until Isabel is prosecuted.
40:47But when the dust settles, there's a very good chance a diamond will be returned to you.
40:55What?
40:55It 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.
41:05It won't be you they're coming after.
41:07You could buy 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.
41:22Pour la patria.
41:28Pour la patria.
41:44Excuse me.
41:45I have a reservation under my friend's name, Emi Ochoa, but it doesn't look like you guys are open yet.
41:50We are open, Mr. Dekker.
41:53Just for us.
41:56Pleasure to finally meet you.
42:00Emilia will not be joining us.
42:02It wasn't her office that set this meeting.
42:04It was mine.
42:05Yeah, kind of figured.
42:06I apologize for the subterfuge, but I thought it was time you and I had a chat.
42:11What about?
42:13I assumed it was obvious.
42:15I'd like to know.
42:17What exactly are your intentions towards my daughter?
42:21What about?
42:49I'm seeing you.
