00:02Previously on Shoot the Messenger
00:04This is what they killed Khalid for
00:05What do you want?
00:0650 grand
00:07It's him, Charles
00:08Avril, what if she was some sort of prostitute?
00:11Or maybe she ran the call girls
00:13If I find out you're involved in this thing with the Somali king
00:16What the hell are you talking about?
00:18I'm resigning from the commission
00:19You're not serious
00:20I slept with Simon
00:21But he's in a committed relationship
00:23Wow, I am just like my mother, aren't I?
00:25There's a kid all over Khalid's photo stream
00:27Harry was sending some pretty threatening messages
00:30And he's been packed off to rehab
00:31Is that how you know Hassan?
00:33He was your drug dealer?
00:34No, we did the program together
00:36Is he with you?
00:37He's too dangerous
00:38I love you
00:39We got a trace on Hassan's phone
00:41He's in North Bay
00:42We'll find him
00:43Get it done
00:54Holy shit, is this real?
00:57Yeah, it's real
01:0350 G's a lot to ask for a great new video
01:06Even if it's the AG with some boy
01:08Some boy who is my friend
01:09Who got killed because of this video
01:15All right
01:16My boss isn't going to fork over that kind of scratch easily
01:18I got to show him something
01:19You think I'm stupid?
01:21I'll give you even a second of this and you got your story
01:24Nah, I'm done with this
01:25All right, all right, all right, all right
01:27All right, look, just
01:29Give me a couple days
01:32You got two days
01:33And the deal's gone
01:57All right, all right
02:05I'm gonna die.
02:12Okay, patient. Gotta stay put. I understand.
02:15I got it.
02:17So if the Beauchamps wanted to cover up a murder,
02:19looks like they've got the money to do it.
02:21That's why Harry's so dangerous.
02:24And it's pronounced in Beecham.
02:27Seriously?
02:28Wait here, I'll be back.
02:30Wow.
02:57Oh, what's your name, little lady?
02:59I see you finally cracked up phone.
03:00Oh, hey, yeah. Yeah, of course it did.
03:03It took a couple days to get the passcodes from Apple,
03:06but, you know, it's unlocked, so...
03:08Can't you just hack into it with your geekdom?
03:11Firstly, nerds like myself really resent being called geeks.
03:15Sorry.
03:16Just putting that out there.
03:17Secondly, you want this to be admissible, right?
03:19Because, you know, I could hack into it,
03:21but then, you know, I don't think the courts would smile fondly.
03:26The translation of Avril's diary typed in cross-reference with the photos.
03:31Nice work.
03:34You must be swamped with Lutz away, huh?
03:38Yeah, it's busy for sure.
03:41Yeah, if you need anything else, you know.
03:46Yeah?
03:47Yeah, I was just thinking that I could go with you.
03:51You know, and you do your rounds.
03:53That's a nice try, but the closest you're getting to these women
03:56is those copies you made for yourself.
03:58What copies?
04:01Seriously, just check my computer.
04:03Thanks for this.
04:07Got a drop-off for you, Daisy Channing.
04:15I'm sorry nothing's coming up.
04:17I sent in the email yesterday.
04:19Check it again.
04:22There's nothing coming up.
04:23I don't see a Daisy Channing anywhere.
04:24Hey, look, I just spent two hours with her on the road
04:26in the back of my car.
04:27Not a chance I'm spending another two.
04:29Let me speak to your manager.
04:32They got a bloody cigar?
04:33Come on, give me a fucking cigar.
04:35Give me a fucking cigar.
04:37Come on.
04:40What is this?
04:42Give me a fucking cigar.
04:44This is bullshit.
04:45Hello, Harry.
05:18Can I have a fag?
05:20Yeah, sure.
05:22Take two.
05:23Later.
05:36Thanks.
05:39One of the nicer places I've seen.
05:40I've seen nicer.
05:42I have.
05:44It's all the same shit on the inside though, huh?
05:46Learn to accept your past actions for what they are,
05:49but learn to move forward with your life.
05:51And still, I like to get high.
05:55Yeah.
05:57But after a while, it started to get old.
06:00I'm pleased I'm not there yet.
06:04I'm Daisy.
06:09It's the first time back in three years.
06:11Yeah, we haven't missed much.
06:13Just a bunch of bloody blokes all complaining about their parents.
06:16Yeah, right.
06:19At least I made a friend last time.
06:21You know, he's the one who helped me stick it out.
06:26I'm not looking for a friend, Daisy.
06:29Thanks for the fag.
06:33My friend is Hasan Ali.
06:36Yours was Khalid Sooman.
06:39What the hell is this?
06:43Why'd you send him this?
06:45Why'd you get that?
06:46You sent this to Khalid.
06:47And a few days later, he ends up dead.
06:49Why?
06:51Naughty.
06:52Come on.
07:22You're not my 10 o'clock.
07:23Ah.
07:37Dammit, Daisy.
07:46We were meant for each other.
07:48Meant to be together.
07:49You and Khalid?
07:52I told him I loved him.
07:54What happened?
07:56Sans fault.
07:58What was it?
07:58The set of those damn parties.
08:00The parties at Eric Lawson's?
08:02He took everything.
08:04Who?
08:04Who did?
08:09Is this the man?
08:10Sam Charles?
08:12Is it Sam Charles?
08:13Yes.
08:15The night you disappeared, I need to know what happened.
08:20You think I did it?
08:22You think I killed him?
08:27Loved him.
08:28I wouldn't kill him!
08:30I loved him!
08:32You hear me?
08:34I said I loved him!
08:36You bitch!
08:41Let go of me!
08:44I'm just getting them out of community!
08:51I didn't kill Khalid!
08:53Why'd you buy a gun?
08:55Huh?
08:56Because he left me!
08:59Okay?
08:59Because I...
09:00Because I wanted to kill myself!
09:02No!
09:08So you worked for Avril for how long?
09:10I'm an independent contractor.
09:13I work for myself.
09:15How long then did you contract your services to Avril for?
09:19Eight months, maybe a year.
09:24You sure I can't get you anything?
09:26I'm good.
09:29So these parties you were hired to attend?
09:32Private Affairs.
09:33A lot of well-known types.
09:36Avril had an in and knew that my...
09:38talents would be of interest.
09:40Do you recognize this man?
09:46I deal with an exclusive clientele.
09:49That means knowing not to name names.
09:51This is an active police investigation.
09:53And you don't have a warrant.
09:54If word got out that my client list was known to the police...
09:58I'd be out of a paycheck.
09:59And what happens if you have 24-hour police surveillance parked outside?
10:03You able to work then?
10:06I know him.
10:07Uh-huh.
10:08Not like you'd think.
10:10He'd have Avril bring me in to tend to some of his associates' special requests.
10:17And that would be my 10 o'clock.
10:20If you think of anything?
10:22Sure. Detective Ortiz.
10:29All right, Joe. Thanks.
10:31Damn it.
10:32I was in the hospital the night Clayton was killed.
10:35Suicide watch.
10:37That was a good use of our time.
10:42You got Harry to confirm that it was Lawson who threw the parties.
10:46But we're no closer to knowing who killed Khalid.
10:52This job is about process.
10:54It's about seeing the whole puzzle, not just pieces.
10:57We eliminated a suspect. That's progress.
11:01Since when are you Mr. Optimist?
11:07I just need to catch a break.
11:10I wish I knew I was on that damn phone.
11:23Thanks for the ride.
11:25Wouldn't have been a long walk back.
11:30So yesterday...
11:33I wanted to say...
11:59Back to the real world.
12:02Yeah.
12:05Call you later?
12:07I'd like that.
12:10Later.
12:12Yeah.
12:34Shit.
12:36I Bombs.通了
13:05No Wrestle
13:05Connection to the Lawson sex parties and the warrant.
13:08Yeah, it all seems to be in order.
13:10Just hope Lawson's mouth is as big as his ego.
13:13We're going to wire his house, car, everything.
13:16Anything else? I'd like to get back to homicide.
13:18No. Just get that side-get done here.
13:21All right, I'll get over to Judge Michaels.
13:22I don't want to get held up by Reeves again.
13:23Okay, good call.
13:28I want this prep work to stay with the commission.
13:31My replacement might find it useful.
13:33This doesn't seem right.
13:36The real world seldom does.
13:38You worked hard for this. You deserve this commission.
13:40Oh, for Christ's sakes, Georgia.
13:43I'm sorry. I need...
13:46I need to take some time.
13:49Re-examine priorities.
13:54Harry was a bust.
13:55Oh, damn it.
13:57He wouldn't go on record.
13:58No, but he confirmed Khalid and Sam Charles were in a relationship.
14:02It's still a second source.
14:04Yeah, from a drugged-out, suicidal, vengeful ex-boyfriend.
14:08Without tangible evidence or his consent, it's just hearsay.
14:11We still don't have anything that confirms that anyone's blackmailing Sam Charles.
14:16Okay.
14:17Write up what you've got while it's fresh.
14:23You know, she is working her ass off.
14:28Mm-hmm.
14:28What have you been doing?
14:29I put the two of you together so you might teach her a thing or two.
14:32Don't worry about me.
14:34I got a couple cards up my sleeve.
14:36Oh, yeah?
14:38Well, you better start playing them.
15:00Hey.
15:01I've, um, been meaning to...
15:03You're gonna pick up the cake, right?
15:05I said I would.
15:06You're not working tomorrow night?
15:10Can we not start?
15:11I picked up the gift.
15:12Bring 50 for your share of it.
15:14Sure.
15:15Remember, Mom's gonna be there around 7.30.
15:19So I have to show up, right?
15:20It's Dad's birthday.
15:21It's not always about you, Daze.
15:23I was just joking.
15:25Oh, God.
15:26I'll be there.
15:28Good.
15:30And don't be weird, okay?
15:40So we have a deal.
15:54Tell me you got something.
15:56Cassand doubled back to the city yesterday.
15:58I got a trace on his new cell phone number.
16:01Won't be long now.
16:02We'll track him down.
16:29Thanks for coming.
16:31You must be scraping from the bottom of the barrel
16:34if you're reaching out to me.
16:35Yeah, well, my barrel's not the fullest these days.
16:38Well, cops have a tendency to not forget
16:41when they've been screwed.
16:43You know, I'd never name a source.
16:45Of course not.
16:47You'd just give out enough info
16:48so a six-year-old could figure it out.
16:50It was sloppy editing.
16:52It was sloppy thinking.
16:54It doesn't change the fact
16:55that Dougie is still paying for your fuck-up.
17:00Yeah.
17:01He is.
17:04But you, you're, uh...
17:05You're doing all right, aren't you, Inspector?
17:09What do you want?
17:10Does the name Roberto Munz mean anything to you?
17:13Yeah, he's a marble lawyer.
17:15He's been repping La Familia since Adam was a boy.
17:17Why?
17:18I've been looking into this land development company,
17:20Greenfield Property Partners.
17:21But all I find are dead ends.
17:23The only thing that comes up are more numbered companies.
17:26How does Munz fit into this?
17:27Those numbered companies all list him as counsel.
17:33If I were you,
17:35I'd stay a million miles from it.
17:38Yeah, but...
17:38We both know I'm too stupid to do that, right?
17:47Detective Lutz.
17:49Is that my warrant you're trying to sneak by me?
17:51Where you had it?
17:52Judge Michaels, I...
17:54heard you had your hands full.
18:00Has Crown Counsel reviewed this?
18:03They have, Your Honor.
18:07You have a pen?
18:09Yeah.
18:22Good luck, Detective.
18:23Good night, Your Honor.
18:43You're still here?
18:45Where have you been all night?
18:47Doing some digging.
18:48Plenty of good dirt turn up.
18:49Kind of.
18:50You got time for a drink?
18:52I know this place makes a killer Manhattan.
18:54That sounds really good.
18:57I can't.
18:58Some other time, yeah.
18:59Of course.
19:04So what's the big news you feel like celebrating?
19:06I can wait.
19:09Brain check.
19:10I'm serious.
19:11Uh-huh.
19:36Details for the environmental meeting.
19:39I approve next week's interview schedule, and I invited the top three candidates.
19:44My notes are attached.
19:47I know you've been tackling a lot with the fall out of town.
19:49I don't think I haven't noticed.
19:51I thought you here, I'd be lost.
19:55Yeah.
19:56You would.
20:02I was thinking.
20:06Maybe I need you around full time.
20:10Not exactly sure my schedule can get any busier.
20:13I wasn't talking about work.
20:14I was talking about us.
20:18I'm listening.
20:19I'm listening.
20:43Daisy.
20:46Is this later?
20:50Come in.
20:51I'm listening.
21:09I'm listening.
21:14I'm listening.
21:15I'm listening.
21:15I'm listening.
21:15I'm listening.
21:17I'm listening.
22:49Did you sleep all right?
22:51I did.
22:53Good.
22:58Let me take you out to dinner tonight.
23:02As in out in public?
23:03An official date.
23:06That would be great.
23:08Good.
23:10Oh, uh, there's this thing for my dad, his birthday.
23:15Yeah, no worries.
23:17Something you want to talk about?
23:19Not really.
23:21Not now.
23:22Yeah, fair enough.
23:24Oh.
23:25Yeah, I gotta get going.
23:28So I want you to hold on to this.
23:35Help yourself after whatever.
24:03Hey.
24:05Mary's in the warm room.
24:06Come on, come on.
24:11Good sleep?
24:13Uh-huh.
24:16The Zucato family?
24:17The opera people.
24:1920 years ago, they're one of the biggest crime families in the city.
24:22Racketeering, drugs, guns.
24:24Family CV reads like a mafia cliche.
24:27All right, to their credit, they shed their illegal interests and made a go in the world of legitimate business.
24:31Right.
24:31They also underwrite a youth crime prevention initiative, which happens to be run by our friend, Eric Lawson.
24:38And partner's in the super jail.
24:43So that's how he's covering his 90 million stake in the project.
24:46If the deal is stalled, what would guys like the Zucatos do to make it happen?
24:50I'd say blackmail an attorney general.
24:53We need that phone.
24:55You ready to make that money call upstairs?
24:57If we run this, the story has to be unassailable.
25:01I'll get the money, but the two of you have to be absolutely microscopic on this.
25:10I have an interview set up with Sam Charles.
25:17You what?
25:18Yeah, my sister just confirmed it.
25:20Oh, that's bloody brilliant.
25:23Okay, I want to see your list of questions.
25:25Have them on my desk by this afternoon.
25:26Simon, you free up your schedule.
25:28You're going with her.
25:28Oh, uh, wait.
25:30This is my interview.
25:31Firstly, the attorney general is giving an interview to the Gazette, not simply you.
25:35Secondly, I'm not giving the interview to Simon.
25:37The two of you will be doing it together.
25:43Fine.
25:44It's nice to see that journalistic rage still burns somewhere around here.
25:48But from here on in, we tread extremely carefully.
26:30And release, if you sign again.
26:33Well, let's.
26:33Bye-bye.
26:36Bye.
27:18Hey, I told you I didn't want to come around here.
27:21What do you want?
27:22Look, Hassan texted me.
27:24He wants you to come with us.
27:25He's getting money.
27:26Us?
27:27I'm going away with him.
27:29I've got to get away from everything.
27:31I don't want nothing to do with Hassan's money.
27:34What are you talking about?
27:35Ask your brother.
27:48What are you doing here?
27:50Hello, Daisy.
27:52You weren't supposed to be here until later.
27:53How did she get in?
27:54I have a set of keys.
27:58You look good.
28:02I've been following your stories.
28:04It's great work.
28:06I imagine it...
28:11Let me...
28:14You ought to know.
