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 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
01:15Customer assistance
01:16Dairy
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
06:46Oh
06:47Oh
06:48Oh
06:48Oh
06:49The sweet old guy that works at the front that killed him?
06:5285 years old. Been with us for decades.
06:55And get this, he was just three weeks from retirement.
06:57Okay, I'm confused. Why was he working at night?
06:59Can't wax the floors while the store was open.
07:02Kerps restrained him in an office chair, killed him,
07:05then threw his body in the baler.
07:06The baler? The 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,
07:15but I told her liver temp indicated he'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 earlier.
07:26Okay.
07:27Also, I watch bones. Of 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...
07:41bruising doesn't happen post-mortem.
07:43Sir, step away from the table.
07:44Yeah, yeah, of course.
07:45Not going to warn you again.
07:46My bad, yeah.
07:49Kevin, just to be clear,
07:50my fee structure changed as when the job goes from loss prevention to homicide.
07:56Oh, 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, well, what about Arturo?
08:45You know, 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.
08:53All 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, 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.
09:30All right, so he cams 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.
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 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, and then his partner stuck it to him.
10:24Store closes at 10.
10:269.50.
10:27Hmm.
10:28And then?
10:31This was planned.
10:32It 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 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.
10:59Uh, excuse me.
11:01We're looking for Arturo's daughter, Maria.
11:12I don't speak Spanish, either.
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.
11:34I hope you don't mind me saying it.
11:35You don't seem all that surprised.
11:37Your dad might have been involved in a robbery.
11:39I'm not.
11:40Not 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, sabotage.
11:58Being a thorn in Fede Castro's side.
12:00One time he hijacked a government truck full of TVs and radios, confiscated from families
12:05labeled 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.
12:16Because all 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.
12:34But not until Cuba was free again.
12:36How do you take the idea of retiring from the supermarket?
12:40I hate it.
12:40It is.
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.
12:53Um, do you know who these guys might be?
12:58The taller one?
12:59No, but the short one with the limp.
13:01That's my father's oldest friend, Baltazar.
13:05Did you say, Baltazar?
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.
13:34Why 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.
14:01I'm looking for your father, Baltazar.
14:03Is he home?
14:04Yeah.
14:05Uh, hang on.
14:06I'll just go get him.
14:09Papi!
14:12Papi, Yasen!
14:13Papi!
14:14Uh, Mr. Cruz, everything okay?
14:15Uh, I don't know.
14:16My dad just climbed out of the window in the back.
14:18Oh.
14:27Go!
14:27Go, go, go, go, go!
14:33All my friends.
14:35Go, go, go, go, go!
14:39All my friends.
14:39Peter, there's anything coming through.
14:41I got there right away.
14:43He's a little higher.
14:44Paul's right.
14:44We just want to ask you some questions.
14:46Ah!
14:46The sidewalk ends at about 100 yards.
14:48Are you really going to take this onto the streets?
14:49Because 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.
15:17Bunny, I'm allergic to guys who kill their oldest friends
15:19who 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.
16:27You 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.
16:46One time.
16:47One 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.
17:01Los militantes question us.
17:02They beat us.
17:03Give me the stupid limp.
17:05They could prove nothing.
17:08But we knew eventually it wouldn't matter what they could prove.
17:14So 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.
17:24But 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.
17:42Arturo was like...
17:44It was like family.
17:48I yelled at him for 50 years.
17:51But kill him?
17:55No.
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.
18:25The assassin.
18:27He must have been just minutes behind.
18:30Too late for us.
18:32But not Arturo.
18:38Oye, mija.
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?
18:57Mm-mm.
18:58Mm-mm.
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, and Balthazar said they left together.
19:34Yeah, he 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,
19:45but if he really withstood torture from the regime, odds are probably zero.
20:06Decker investigation, Slope.
20:09Mr. Decker?
20:09Yeah.
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, yeah.
20:17Hi, uh, the front yard, I 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, I may have information for you.
20:33I usually go all the way to Hialeah for a cafe con leche this perfect.
20:38Owner of Ventanita on Calle Ocho may have let his family recipe slip
20:43after 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.
20:57Oh, is it the same one Balthazar and Arturo belong to?
21:00The last time we met, I didn't mean to eavesdrop,
21:04but sometimes old men talk louder than they realize.
21:08A few weeks ago, I heard them talking about un trabajito.
21:12A, a 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.
21:39A 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.
21:58What 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.
22:18I'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
22:35for the things he took from me?
22:37Of course.
22:39Yeah, 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, 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.
23:14They 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?
23:23None of them caught anything useful.
23:25On the plus side, the Amine 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 the law 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 tank.
23:59I'll put out an APB on Danny.
24:07Papi.
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 a shop is to summon me.
24:26So, tell me.
24:28How can I help?
24:32Ray 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 taking 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
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.
25:50No one hurts in Ochoa and gets away with it.
25:54It's done since you're going worse.
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 wait.
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
26:48escalate.
27:02First my father, now Balthasar.
27:04Mm-hmm.
27:05And you have no idea who killed him?
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
27:15drive my son into their stupid plan.
27:18You help me find him.
27:19I can keep him safe
27:20before 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,
27:47he...
27:48he couldn't even speak.
27:50He just drove off in his grandfather's car.
27:52He even forgot to take his phone.
27:57I'm sorry, Danny left his phone behind?
27:58I 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 two hearing aids here,
28:09but I know CSU only recovered one
28:11from the scene.
28:12I'm not surprised.
28:13He was always losing one or the other.
28:15My 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.
28:24Laurie.
28:29If I'm right,
28:30your dad's car
28:31is at the Starlight Sands Motel
28:33in Florida City.
28:34Does that...
28:35does that mean anything to you?
28:37If Danny went there,
28:38I have no idea why.
29:16Hey, what's up?
29:17Report just came back from the lab.
29:18The DNA under Balthazar's fingernails
29:20isn't a match for his grandson.
29:22You're saying I just drove
29:23all the way to Florida City
29:24for no reason?
29:25What?
29:26Nothing.
29:26Sorry.
29:27Here's the crazy part.
29:28The DNA is a match for DNA
29:30from an unsolved homicide
29:32back in 92.
29:3392?
29:34It was a Cuban defector.
29:35Gave up intel on Cuban operatives
29:36inside the U.S.
29:37in exchange for asylum.
29:39Case went cold,
29:39but the FBI always suspected
29:41the G2.
29:41And get this,
29:42the murder weapon
29:43was some kind of ligature.
29:45Same as Arturo and Balthazar.
29:46Yeah, exactly.
29:48Oh, hey, I gotta go.
29:50That's my friend at the FBI.
29:52I gotta tell her
29:52there might really be
29:53a Cuban spy out there.
29:55Hey.
29:57Are you the guy?
29:58Come on, Brenner, you him?
30:00My name's RJ Decker.
30:01I'm a private investigator.
30:03I'm here because I think
30:04you might be in danger, Danny.
30:05I know you helped
30:06the grandfather and his friend
30:08rob that grocery store.
30:09They'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
30:16the one who killed him
30:16and me, 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,
30:24are you the guy?
30:25What did that mean?
30:26Are you supposed to
30:27meet someone here?
30:29I don't know his name.
30:31Abuelo just told me
30:32that if anything ever
30:33happened to him,
30:33I had to get this
30:35lockbox he kept
30:36under his floorboards
30:37in his room,
30:38bring it here,
30:38he said,
30:39to this motel,
30:40and wait for someone
30:40to come and pick it up.
30:42He said why
30:42he had to do all that?
30:43He just said
30:44por la patria.
30:46For the homeland.
30:48This is going to
30:49sound kind of crazy,
30:49but I think maybe
30:52it's why him and
30:52Balthazar were killed.
30:53Where's the box now,
30:54Danny?
31:05You didn't open it.
31:06I didn't think I should.
31:08Uh, Abuelo back in the day,
31:09he was like a,
31:11I don't know,
31:12like a Robin Hood
31:12meets James Bond.
31:14He was a, uh,
31:15dissident.
31:16Yeah, I know.
31:17The stories he told me,
31:18the stuff he got out to,
31:20could be anything in there.
31:21Like microfilm,
31:22or plans for some nerve gas,
31:25or tapes to feed
31:25on the Russians,
31:26you know.
31:27Por la patria,
31:28that's all I know.
31:30Bore your knife.
31:43Well, it's very nice
31:44your grandfather
31:45wanted the Cuban people
31:46to have this,
31:47but of all the things
31:48I've heard
31:48are in short supply there,
31:52baseballs are not
31:52one of them.
32:04I can't believe
32:05Abuelo would do me
32:06like this, man.
32:08Punk me,
32:08or test me,
32:10whatever this whole thing was.
32:14Did he?
32:15Arturo,
32:15he was what?
32:16He was 85 years old.
32:17Maybe he,
32:18maybe he lost a step.
32:19He got confused.
32:20No, man.
32:21He was,
32:22he was sharp as a tack.
32:24Your mom,
32:24she told me
32:25how close you guys were.
32:27Yeah,
32:28when I was,
32:28uh,
32:29struggling,
32:32and making bad decisions,
32:34Abuelo,
32:35he didn't punish me,
32:36he didn't even lecture.
32:38He just,
32:39he gave me jobs to do,
32:40you know.
32:42A reason to show up
32:44and do better.
32:46I saw,
32:47I would have done
32:47anything he asked.
32:48Like rob a supermarket?
32:50We didn't steal
32:50from that store
32:51just for money.
32:52It was for the people
32:53struggling in Cuba.
32:54Let's pretend for a second
32:55this does matter.
32:56Did Arturo ever say
32:58anything about
32:59what was inside the box?
33:00No,
33:00just that,
33:01that he took it
33:02from right under
33:03Fidel's nose,
33:03and that he didn't
33:05want to return to Cuba
33:06until its people
33:06were free.
33:07You know,
33:07I figured some friend
33:08or some other dissident
33:10would show up
33:11to get off my hands,
33:12but,
33:13I mean,
33:13the only person
33:13who showed up
33:14was you.
33:15Yeah,
33:15I would say
33:16some guy was supposed
33:17to meet you.
33:17He could have been
33:18Arturo's age,
33:19older.
33:19Maybe the reason
33:20it didn't show
33:21is because he's
33:21been gone for years.
33:23So,
33:24so what do we do now?
33:25Well,
33:25we're going to tell
33:25your mom you're safe.
33:27Then you should
33:28sleep here tonight.
33:29There's a fold-out
33:30caught in the storage closet.
33:31I'll, I'll get it.
33:32Tomorrow morning,
33:33we're going to go
33:34to the police.
33:35We're going to tell
33:35them everything,
33:36including how you
33:36helped rob that store.
33:38Okay?
33:41Yeah,
33:42I understand.
33:45Danny,
33:46don't go disappearing
33:47again,
33:48okay?
33:49No,
33:49I won't.
33:51My boy worries me
33:52better than that.
34:07Hey,
34:07Decker Investigations.
34:09Mr. Decker,
34:09this is Claire
34:10at Emmy Ochoa's office.
34:11She asked me
34:12to set a lunch
34:12for the two of you
34:13for tomorrow.
34:14You're working
34:15pretty late,
34:15aren't you, Claire?
34:16I am,
34:17but she said
34:17it was important.
34:19If 1230 works for you,
34:20I'll send you
34:20an address in the morning.
34:22Sure,
34:23you can pencil me in.
34:24Thanks.
34:25Have a good night.
34:26You too.
34:29How's our guest?
34:31Boy,
34:31he's out cold.
34:33As soon as his head
34:34hit the pillow,
34:35that was all she wrote.
34:36Yeah,
34:37he's had a rough
34:37couple of days.
34:38Yeah.
34:39Um,
34:39you,
34:40um,
34:41you're positive
34:42he's not
34:42a serial strangler,
34:44right?
34:44Oh,
34:45yeah,
34:45like 90%.
34:47Let me ask you
34:48something.
34:48Can you think
34:49of any reason
34:50why the Cuban
34:50government
34:51would kill
34:52two old guys
34:53over a baseball?
34:55Well,
34:55it's a fact
34:56Castro thought
34:57he was a hell
34:58of a ball player.
34:59He was not.
35:00But maybe
35:01he popped that baby
35:02over a fence
35:03one time
35:03because some
35:04scared pitcher
35:05lobbed him a meatball.
35:05Cubans want
35:06to put it
35:07in a museum
35:07or something.
35:15Do me a favor.
35:16Go stand
35:17over there
35:17for me,
35:17please.
35:19Okay.
35:24All right,
35:25what you got?
35:27Yeah,
35:27all right.
35:32Roll it back.
35:37That way
35:38it rolls,
35:39that ball
35:39ain't regulation.
35:41Guy sits
35:41over there
35:42in the
35:42Jimmy Buffett
35:43tribute band.
35:44He works
35:45at an
35:45overnight
35:45animal hospital,
35:46doesn't he?
35:47Yeah,
35:48why?
35:50I'm just
35:51saying,
35:51Wish,
35:52a favor like
35:53this could
35:53be repaid
35:54with a gig
35:54at the bar.
35:55You know
35:56I've heard
35:56you play
35:57before,
35:57right?
35:58Yeah,
35:58man,
35:58but we're
35:58so much
35:59better now.
36:00Look,
36:00Jimmy himself
36:01couldn't tell
36:01the difference
36:02between his
36:02Bama Breeze
36:03and ours.
36:04Baseball
36:05talk now,
36:06gig talk later.
36:09Who cares?
36:15Well,
36:16Orange,
36:16is that
36:16what I think
36:17it is?
36:18That literal
36:18baseball diamond.
36:20It's like
36:20the song,
36:21man.
36:21Diamond as
36:22big as
36:22the Reds.
36:24It's like
36:24Jimmy's
36:25here with us.
36:26Well,
36:27if that thing's
36:27real,
36:27that's gotta
36:28be worth,
36:28what,
36:28millions?
36:29Tens of
36:29millions?
36:30Well,
36:30in the morning
36:31I'm gonna
36:31ask the person
36:32who killed
36:32Arturo
36:32and Balthazar,
36:34because I
36:34know who
36:34it is now.
36:46Hello.
36:47I'm back.
36:48Sorry to keep
36:48you waiting.
36:49This is my
36:49friend,
36:50Detective Abreu.
36:51Please.
36:51It was so
36:52sweet of you
36:53to bring me
36:54this café con leche,
36:55not to mention
36:56recovering some
36:57of the items
36:57Danny stole
36:58from me.
36:59Well,
36:59actually,
36:59it's only
37:00one item.
37:01We have
37:01it in
37:01another room.
37:02Follow me.
37:14My grandfather
37:15didn't get
37:16to bring much
37:17when he was
37:17exiled,
37:18but he brought
37:19this.
37:21He played
37:21for a quipo
37:22in Cuba.
37:25This, this was
37:27from his last
37:28game.
37:30It meant
37:31everything to
37:31him.
37:32It's a great
37:33story.
37:34Can I tell you
37:35another one?
37:37Once upon a time,
37:38there was a 25-karat
37:40diamond.
37:41It was gifted
37:42to the first lady
37:42of Cuba
37:43almost 100 years
37:43ago.
37:44In 1926,
37:46it was embedded
37:46into the floor
37:47of the National
37:48Capitol Building
37:49in Havana.
37:49In the 40s,
37:50it was replaced
37:51with a replica.
37:52The real stone
37:53is, at least
37:54according to
37:54the government,
37:55locked away
37:55in Cuba's
37:56central bank.
37:57Now, imagine
37:58if two anti-Castro
38:00troublemakers,
38:01guys like your
38:02pals Arturo
38:03and Balthazar,
38:04managed to steal
38:05it in the 1970s
38:06and disappeared.
38:07The regime
38:07would never admit
38:08it, right?
38:09It's too embarrassing.
38:10But if a Cuban
38:11operative in Florida
38:12infiltrated in an
38:13exile advocacy group
38:14and overheard two
38:15guys bragging
38:15about robbing
38:16that bank,
38:17Havana might
38:18put two and two
38:18together and
38:19change their
38:19spy's objective.
38:22Get the diamond
38:23back.
38:31Is that?
38:32Is that my coffee?
38:33Mm-hmm, it is.
38:35My friend here,
38:35he didn't bring you
38:36a Café con leche
38:37to be nice.
38:38He did it so he
38:38could get your DNA.
38:40Pretty sure it's
38:40going to tell you
38:41about the Czar's
38:41murder and the
38:42execution of a
38:43defector back in 92.
38:45You, you,
38:45you're both
38:46crazy.
38:47I'm an old woman.
38:48The other day,
38:49you told me you
38:50overheard Baltazar and
38:51Arturo planning
38:52the Whitby's heist,
38:53right?
38:54That part's probably
38:55true.
38:55But you also saw
38:56an opportunity.
38:57Arturo would be
38:58tied up.
38:58Cameras would be
38:59down.
38:59You could walk in,
39:00torture him,
39:01make him tell you
39:01where the diamond
39:02was.
39:04Maybe he told you
39:04it was in the
39:05baseball.
39:06Maybe it was
39:07Baltazar.
39:08By the way,
39:09you made damn
39:10sure it was on the
39:10list of things you
39:11said Danny stole
39:12from you.
39:13The list,
39:14by the way,
39:15it's where you
39:15slipped up.
39:17Nothing about
39:17Danny said he killed
39:18his grandfather.
39:19Nothing.
39:20So it made me
39:21wonder who put me
39:22on his trail to
39:22begin with.
39:25you.
39:29Arturo and Baltazar
39:31were gusanos who
39:32stole what didn't
39:34belong to them.
39:35The diamond belongs
39:37to Cuba, paid for
39:39in blood and
39:40revolution.
39:41Oh, my God.
39:42You have the right
39:43to remain silent.
39:44Anything you say can
39:45and will be held
39:46against you in a
39:47court of law.
39:54OK, so good news.
39:56Talk to my point
39:57person at Whitby's.
39:58They're not going to
39:59press charges for the
40:00heist.
40:00Seriously?
40:01You are banned from
40:02ever visiting another
40:03Whitby's location,
40:03but still, I think
40:05it's a pretty good
40:05deal.
40:06I just, I still
40:07can't believe it was
40:08Isabel out there
40:08killing people.
40:09She was always so
40:10nice.
40:10Yeah, she was my
40:11first spy.
40:13007, 29 years old.
40:16But I guess the good
40:17ones are good actors.
40:19I'm just, I'm glad
40:20she didn't get what
40:20she was after.
40:23About that.
40:25According to the
40:25feds, the Cuban
40:26government is
40:27officially denying
40:27the diamond was
40:28ever stolen.
40:30Yeah, they're still
40:30claiming it's safe
40:31and sound inside
40:32their vault in
40:32Havana.
40:34I swear if
40:35Pablo was here,
40:36he'd laugh so hard
40:37at that.
40:38It gets funnier.
40:40The Cubans won't
40:41admit the diamond
40:41was ever stolen from
40:42them.
40:42They can't claim it.
40:44For now, the
40:45diamond's locked up
40:45in evidence until
40:46Isabel is prosecuted.
40:47But when the dust
40:48settles, there's a
40:51very good chance a
40:52diamond will be
40:52returned to you.
40:55What?
40:55It was your
40:56grandfather's.
40:57You were the last
40:58one in possession.
40:59What the hell am I
41:00supposed to do with it?
41:01For me, I would sell
41:02it very publicly.
41:04If the Cubans are
41:04going to send more
41:05spies, it won't be
41:06you they're coming
41:06after.
41:07You could buy
41:09yourself and your
41:10mom the future your
41:11grandfather fought to
41:11make possible.
41:14Or?
41:15Or you could use the
41:16money to honor his
41:17legacy.
41:18Find new ways to help
41:19the people he was
41:20trying to help.
41:22Pour la patria.
41:28Pour la patria.
41:44Excuse me, I have a
41:45reservation under my
41:46friend's name, Emmy
41:47Ochoa, but it doesn't
41:48look like you guys are
41:49open yet.
41:50We are open, Mr.
41:51Decker.
41:53Just for us.
41:56Pleasure to finally meet
41:57you.
42:00Emilia will not be
42:01joining us.
42:02It wasn't her office
42:03that set this meeting,
42:04it was mine.
42:05Yeah, kind of figured.
42:06I apologize for the
42:07subterfuge, but I
42:08thought it was time you
42:10and I had a chat.
42:11About?
42:13I assumed it was
42:14obvious.
42:15I'd like to know what
42:18exactly are your
42:19intentions towards my
42:20daughter.
42:27help.
42:29Bye.
42:39Bye.
42:43Bye.
42:47Bye.
42:48Bye.
42:48Bye.
42:48Bye.
42:52Bye.
