00:13Don't try to eat it through the wrapper.
00:17I'm sorry, what?
00:18The candy bar.
00:19You try to eat it through the wrapper, I owe my friend 100 bucks.
00:22Why would I try to eat it through the wrapper?
00:24You've been staring at it for 10 minutes now.
00:26It's like you're trying to skip the opening it and chewing it parts and just bean it straight through your
00:31stomach.
00:32I'm sorry, have you been watching me for 10 minutes?
00:33Me and my friend.
00:34She thinks you're an unhoused individual.
00:37This is Florida.
00:38You can just say crazy homeless guy.
00:39It's okay.
00:40She thinks you're a crazy homeless guy who's going to eat that thing through the wrapper.
00:43But not you.
00:44So what's the story?
00:45Why are you eye-sexing a candy bar on the steps of the courthouse?
00:50I'm on trial.
00:52A few months back, I caught this kid stealing camera equipment out of the trunk of my car.
00:56You're a photographer.
00:58I was.
01:00Commercial?
01:01Fashion?
01:01Yes.
01:04Anyway, I caught this kid and I, yeah, I sort of lost it.
01:08You lost it.
01:09I beat him up.
01:10You beat up a kid?
01:10He wasn't a kid.
01:11He was 20 years old.
01:12And as it turns out, the son of a state senator.
01:14It didn't matter that he had 40 pounds on me or that he threw the first punch.
01:17He made up some story about me thinking he was a drug dealer and then attacking him when he wouldn't
01:21sell me meth.
01:24Doesn't explain the candy bar.
01:27Sort of my favorite.
01:29Today could be the last day of my trial, meaning I could be going home in a few hours or...
01:33You could be going to prison.
01:34Or until candy bars are in short supply.
01:36The only thing is, like, I keep thinking if I eat it, I'll be jinxing everything.
01:43Well, look, I don't know a lot about prison.
01:46I know a little.
01:48And you're right.
01:49Candy bars are hard to come by.
01:53But I can think of something in even short supply.
02:01Okay.
02:15I believe this is yours.
02:20Good luck today.
02:22Thanks.
02:22But I've got everything.
02:25All the dirty.
02:30The library was questioned yet again today by homicide detectives.
02:34The investigation into the murder of his wife is ongoing.
02:37I'm kind of tired of that guy.
02:38You're wrong.
02:39I took a closer night's time.
02:41You still think it goes to the jury today?
02:42Just one witness left.
02:43The, uh, cousin, right?
02:45The one who said she was there that day?
02:46Step-sister.
02:47Step-sister.
02:47Step-sister.
02:48Step-sister.
02:49And you're sure she wasn't there?
02:50Yeah.
02:50No one was there.
02:51Why?
02:52I was going over her statement last night.
02:54It was really deep.
02:55All Roz?
02:58Superior Court in the state of Florida, Robin County, Department 342 is now in session.
03:03Judge Anna Yu presiding.
03:06Mr. Acosta, next witness?
03:08State calls.
03:10Emi Ochoa, Your Honor.
03:22There's your right hand.
03:24Do you swear the testimony you're about to give is the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth?
03:29I do.
03:33Please state your name and relationship to the victim.
03:35Yes.
03:36I'm Emi Ochoa.
03:37Lucas is my step-brother.
03:40And that's the man who almost killed him.
04:04Thank you, Ms. Ochoa.
04:07Sure excuse.
04:09I.
04:18I.
04:28I.
04:33I.
04:34I.
04:35I.
04:35I.
05:02I told you I needed a 2019.
05:04Well, no, give me that.
05:05Different parts, Darius.
05:06You want me to go put it back?
05:08I'll go put it back.
05:09I'll give you half.
05:10Half?
05:12Plus, I'll get a slice of that pizza.
05:16Jefe, problema?
05:17Come on, man.
05:19Check this thing, talk about it.
05:21Ain't no...
05:34Beautiful dog.
05:36Thanks.
05:37Beautiful.
05:37I swear she is the spitting image of another dog I know.
05:41Friday.
05:43Friday's an emotional support dog.
05:45Her owner, Dylan, he's eight.
05:47He has autism.
05:48Friday helps him, makes him happy.
05:49Or at least she did until someone stole her out of a yard the other day.
05:52You have a nice day, yeah?
05:54Dylan's bomb, Amanda.
05:55She put these up all over the place.
05:57Next day, someone emailed her, said, yeah, the dog.
06:00And for 10,000 bucks, she could have her back.
06:02I know what you're thinking.
06:0310 grand for a dog.
06:04But see, the house this guy stole her from...
06:07Nice.
06:08It was real nice.
06:08One of those great big ones up in Coral Ridge.
06:11God, I didn't know that Amanda was just a housekeeper
06:13and that her bosses let her dog play outside while she works.
06:21So, you're going to arrest me now?
06:23No.
06:24I'm not going to arrest you.
06:25I'm not a cop.
06:25I'm a PI.
06:26I'm also an ex-con like you.
06:2818 months, Appalachee.
06:29Assault.
06:30Marry and Correctional.
06:31Possession.
06:32I didn't want to take her.
06:34I wasn't even planning it.
06:35It's okay.
06:36It's okay.
06:36Hey, listen.
06:37Take this.
06:39After I bring her home,
06:40I want you to call him.
06:41He's a friend of mine.
06:42He helps win jobs for guys like me and you.
06:45Tell him R.J. is saying.
07:03Hey.
07:04T-Bow, how you doing?
07:06It's a hot one today.
07:07Stay hydrated.
07:13Hey, Arch.
07:15Hey, morning, Freddy.
07:15How you doing?
07:19Jester?
07:20Little Hobbit?
07:21Tom Petty.
07:22Come here, Tom Petty.
07:24Good.
07:26Arch, I told you.
07:27You got to keep a treat on you.
07:28You give Tom Petty a treat,
07:29he'll leave you be.
07:30Oh, maybe, you know,
07:31stop giving him a free run
07:32of the entire trailer park.
07:34You ever thought about that?
07:34Hey, you seen T-Bow this morning?
07:36His mom was looking for him.
07:37Yeah, he's out by the mailboxes.
07:39He's doing his scary clown thing again.
07:41What is the point?
07:42Well, his mom says
07:43it's an experiment in phenomenology.
07:45Really, I think it's more to do
07:46with T-Bow being crazy as hell.
07:49Uh, Tester, I almost forgot.
07:50I signed for a package for you yesterday.
07:52It's in here by the door.
07:53Uh, do you mind bringing that out?
07:55Uh, I'm not comfortable going in there
07:57since the, uh, you know, sinkhole.
08:00Yeah, okay.
08:01I understand.
08:03So, uh, you talked to management
08:05about getting your trailer moved yet?
08:07I did.
08:08Twice.
08:09I think their hesitation
08:09may have something to do
08:11with me being two months behind on the rent.
08:17Florida man tries to chew through handcuffs
08:20following the rest.
08:22Now, it is a fascinating route, sir,
08:24but I'm afraid there's nothing in here
08:26that identifies you as the subject.
08:29Good, man.
08:29I can only give you a free drink
08:31if you can prove you're
08:32the Florida man in the rest.
08:33Captain America, we love you.
08:38Number for the wall.
08:42Selly!
08:44Usual?
08:46Uh, it's a little early.
08:47You get that every time you call me Selly
08:49you're announcing to your patrons
08:51we're both ex-cons?
08:52Well, if it weren't for ex-cons, RJ,
08:54I might not have any patrons.
08:55You text him.
08:57Cut to the chase.
08:58Well, I'm afraid the chase
09:00old buddy is Clay Gregory.
09:06Police have confirmed
09:07that the woman found dead
09:08in the trunk of a car
09:09is Rota Batista,
09:11the high school teacher
09:12who was reported missing yesterday.
09:14The car was involved
09:15in a brief chase
09:16with police last night.
09:17This morning,
09:18it was found abandoned,
09:20leading to the discovery
09:21of the victim.
09:23This, of course,
09:24is eerily reminiscent
09:25to the murder of
09:26Broward County
09:27Herald journalist
09:28Maya Gregory
09:29several years ago.
09:30Just like Rota Batista,
09:32she was found
09:33in the trunk of a car,
09:35strangled.
09:35In both cases,
09:37the murder weapon
09:37was a wire coat hanger.
09:40Maya Gregory's husband,
09:41Clay Gregory,
09:42was a person of interest
09:43at the time,
09:44but has never been charged.
09:49You know, it's funny.
09:51A year and a half
09:52sharing a six-by-eight space
09:53with you,
09:54and I still can't
09:55read your mind.
09:56I'm thinking it sure
09:57would be nice to know
09:57where Clay Gregory
09:58was last night.
09:59It would,
10:00but it's safe to assume
10:02Fort Lauderdale's finest
10:03are all over that, yeah?
10:06You know, the reason
10:06I wanted to hear
10:07about this from me
10:08is because I know
10:09there is a very straight line
10:11between what happened
10:12to your reporter friend
10:13and what you did
10:14to that kid
10:14who broke into your car
10:15a few days later.
10:16Wish he wasn't a kid.
10:17He was 20 years old.
10:18And he was bigger than you,
10:19and he threw the first punch.
10:21Remind me,
10:21which one of you
10:22ended up at Appalachia with me?
10:25The truth, Sally,
10:28is you were carrying
10:29too much hurt around,
10:30and you unloaded
10:31on the first best person
10:32came along.
10:41Don't go make
10:42making the same mistake
10:43now, you hear?
10:51You're making the same mistake now,
11:18R.J. freaking Decker,
11:19as I live and breathe.
11:20They let you out already?
11:21No, Bill, I escaped.
11:23Don't tell anyone, okay?
11:24How you doing?
11:25Back at the newspaper?
11:26Matter of fact, Bill,
11:27no, I'm a P.I. now.
11:31You're serious?
11:32It's a dead lady
11:32in a car trunk.
11:33You heard what happened
11:34and thought Clay Gregory.
11:35Well, to be fair, Bill,
11:36they did kill
11:36my former colleague,
11:37his wife,
11:38the exact same way.
11:39You are a dog
11:40with a bone, old buddy.
11:41The night Maya died,
11:42didn't have an alibi.
11:43Then it comes out
11:44he was having an affair,
11:45so...
11:45You're leaving out
11:45the part about
11:46a cigarette butt
11:47that was found
11:47in the car
11:48with his wife's body.
11:49DNA wasn't a match.
11:50Bill, you and I
11:51both know
11:52we could have
11:52picked up any butt
11:53from any gutter
11:54and put it in the car
11:54to throw out forensics.
11:55Detective Ragsdale,
11:57are you aware
11:57you're associating
11:58with a known felon
11:59right now?
11:59Detective Brayu,
12:00hello, how are you?
12:01Yeah, let me guess,
12:02he wants us to put cuffs
12:03on Clay Gregory
12:03for this.
12:04Well, I mean,
12:04it'd be nice
12:05if you put cuffs
12:05on for something.
12:07Just a reminder,
12:08in my case,
12:09not yours,
12:10and sharing information
12:11with a civilian,
12:12let alone an ex-con,
12:13would be bad.
12:15How is everything
12:15at the trailer park?
12:16You making new friends?
12:17Only every single day.
12:23Clay Gregory
12:24didn't kill anyone
12:24last night.
12:26What do you mean?
12:26He was visiting family
12:27in Topeka
12:28and flew in this morning.
12:29We have footage
12:30of him at both airports.
12:31So if you were hoping
12:32this was the murderer
12:33we would get him on,
12:35think again.
12:43When asked about
12:44the still unsolved
12:45Maya Gregory case,
12:46police did acknowledge
12:47the similarities
12:48to the murder
12:49of Luda Batista.
12:50In my own accounts,
12:51Clay Gregory
12:52is apparently not
12:53a person of interest
12:55at this...
13:08Decker investigations.
13:10Hi, is this R.J. Decker?
13:11Yep, it is.
13:12Great.
13:13I'm looking for
13:14a private investigator.
13:15I was wondering
13:16if you might have
13:16some time this week
13:17to leave a private
13:18surveillance about
13:18all the police
13:19and all the police
13:19and all the police
13:20and all the police.
13:20Ma'am, I'm sorry,
13:21bad reception.
13:22Would you mind
13:22repeating what you just said?
13:23Ma'am?
13:29Yeah, I'm here.
13:30I'm here and I'm
13:31very interested in meeting.
13:33Yeah, I'm here.
13:33I can hear you.
13:34Can you hear me?
13:35Ma'am?
13:36Ma'am?
13:48What can I say
13:49except it's pretty obvious
13:50there's a serial killer
13:51loose in Fort Lauderdale
13:52and maybe
13:54if the police
13:55hadn't wasted
13:56so many resources
13:57on me
13:58after he killed Maya
13:59they would have
13:59caught him back then.
14:13This is the first time
14:15I'm alive
14:16it's the other day
14:37A sinkhole
14:38opened up
14:39outside your window
14:40three weeks ago
14:40and you didn't come
14:41to stay with us then?
14:42Hi, Catherine.
14:43Yeah, you're the dumbest
14:44ex-husband I ever had.
14:45I did.
14:48Palmetto Pastures, RJ?
14:49Seriously, that's
14:49the best you could do?
14:50Well, the price is right, Kath.
14:52What can I say?
14:53If it's some money
14:54then you know
14:54I don't want to have it.
14:55No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no.
14:56It's temporary.
14:57Just let me stay in here.
14:59I'll be out of your hair
14:59in no time.
15:01We'll see.
15:08Great.
15:10It's great.
15:11Roomie.
15:15You can stay here one week
15:37and then you go.
15:39Mel,
15:40if you think I want to stay
15:41One week, felon.
15:42One week.
15:43Stay with me.
15:46One week.
15:49No, I won't talk to you
15:50about Clegram.
15:51No, no, no, no, no, no, no.
15:52I was going to ask about Sophia.
15:53Oh, yeah.
15:54She's still draining threes
15:55like Steph Curry?
15:56Like Sabrina Nulescu.
15:58And asking about my kid
16:00isn't going to score you anything.
16:02Just the, uh,
16:03the person who called the police
16:04about the red DM to you
16:05the other day.
16:06They interacted with the guy
16:08who abandoned it.
16:09Said something, did something.
16:10Am I right?
16:11I just want to know
16:12what they saw.
16:17Maya Gregory was your friend.
16:18I get it.
16:19But this case,
16:20it's about Rora Batista.
16:22And it's got enough eyes
16:23on it already.
16:25I don't also need
16:26some pretend P.I.
16:27looking over my shoulder.
16:29let alone one flopping
16:31in my pool house.
16:33You know,
16:33I've started to wonder
16:34if you don't like me
16:35because you're under
16:36the impression
16:36I might be the close-minded type
16:38who'd be embarrassed,
16:39maybe even angry,
16:40that his ex-wife
16:41ended up marrying
16:42another woman.
16:44And R.M.L.
16:45It doesn't bother me.
16:47I knew Kath was by
16:48from day one.
16:51Well, we haven't entertained
16:52the occasional third party
16:53back then.
16:54Okay.
16:55I got work to do?
16:56Trying to get sent
16:57back to prison today?
17:01I think that's
17:02entering here
17:03at Código.
17:05My Spanish
17:06is a little rusty.
17:07You didn't just happen
17:08to confess to murdering
17:09two women, did you?
17:11Decker,
17:11what's it been?
17:13Two years?
17:1418 months
17:15for a good behavior?
17:15You go to prison
17:16one time
17:17and suddenly
17:17it's all the jokes.
17:19I saw your ex's piece
17:19in the Herald this morning.
17:20Oh, yeah?
17:21It was good stuff.
17:22It reminded me
17:22of the way Maya
17:23used to write
17:24all gas,
17:25no brakes.
17:26Yeah, Maya
17:26was something,
17:27wasn't she?
17:27Before she died...
17:29Before you killed her.
17:29Before she died,
17:30you met me what?
17:32Once?
17:32Maybe twice.
17:34You hardly know me.
17:36So how can you be
17:36so sure I killed Maya?
17:38While you were cheating on me?
17:39I was getting away with it.
17:40So why kill my wife?
17:43This new murder,
17:44the one from a couple
17:44of days ago...
17:44A little bit sister.
17:45That was her name.
17:46She was a teacher.
17:46She had a mom.
17:47She had three sisters.
17:48Yeah, I'm sure you heard
17:48by now I was on an airplane
17:50when it happened.
17:50I didn't do it.
17:51Oh, no, you didn't.
17:52And then why are you here?
17:54Would I be right
17:55in assuming that
17:55the insurance policy
17:56you had on Maya
17:57never paid out?
17:59Of course it didn't.
18:01Because the insurance company,
18:02like pretty much everyone else
18:03in the state of Florida,
18:04knew you killed her.
18:05This new murder, though,
18:07I don't know,
18:08maybe it changes things.
18:09Like you said,
18:09you were on a plane
18:10when it happened.
18:12You think I hired someone?
18:14I told them to commit a murder
18:15just like Maya's
18:16when I was at 40,000 feet.
18:17Yeah, police started thinking,
18:18hey, maybe you didn't kill his wife.
18:20Then the insurance company,
18:21suddenly you're what?
18:22Six figures, Richard?
18:24Seven?
18:25It's been fun,
18:26but I've got work to do.
18:27Me too, Clyde.
18:29Me too.
18:41Decker Investigations.
18:42Hi, I called last night.
18:44We got cut off?
18:45Hi, yes.
18:46Sorry about that.
18:46I would have called you back
18:47while your number was blocked.
18:49You're still up for a meeting?
18:50Absolutely.
18:51Then how about we do it over a drink?
18:53You name the place.
18:54Ooh, uh, yeah.
18:55Do you know FM station?
18:57I'll find it.
18:57See you at seven.
18:58Seven works,
18:59but, um, can I...
19:02Didn't get your name.
19:03Again.
19:10Hi, ma'am.
19:12My name's RJ Decker.
19:13I'm a private investigator.
19:14I'd like to ask you a few questions
19:16about what happened yesterday.
19:20Me?
19:21Why me?
19:21You're the one
19:22that called the police, aren't you?
19:24You saw the person
19:24who dumped the car.
19:25If I was,
19:26I don't think the police
19:27would tell you.
19:28I knew it was you
19:29from the flower bot.
19:30¿Cómo?
19:31The one you threw at the suspect?
19:32I saw little pieces
19:33that have been on the ground.
19:36See, most of your neighbors,
19:37they like to use
19:38their balconies for storage.
19:40You like to grow things.
19:41Yeah, you must have, what,
19:42a couple dozen plants out there?
19:44So you saw the guy park,
19:45and when he popped the trunk,
19:46you saw what he'd done.
19:47That's why you threw the pot at him.
19:49All I'm looking for
19:50is a description.
19:51I even brought you a few pots
19:52to replace the ones you broke.
19:56The man was short.
19:58Maybe 5'2", black.
20:00His back was torn,
20:01so I didn't see his face.
20:03Just his terrible hat.
20:04What was so terrible
20:05about his hat?
20:06There was a penis on it.
20:08Penis?
20:08Do you see a penis?
20:09Worse, an angry penis.
20:11What made you think
20:12the penis was angry?
20:13The face,
20:13and the two little arms
20:15flexed like this,
20:15like you wanted to fight.
20:16Like this?
20:17Mm-hmm.
20:19Huh.
20:26Is this what you saw?
20:27It's just real.
20:28Yes.
20:29It's not what you think it is.
20:30It's a jumbo shrimp.
20:31Specifically,
20:32it's the logo
20:32for the Jacksonville jumbo shrimp.
20:34AAA affiliates
20:35in the Miami Marlins.
20:36Does that help?
20:43Like you have.
20:48Thanks.
20:52What?
20:52No, it's just,
20:53I wish I could have
20:54seen your face
20:54when you found that
20:55dead lady
20:55in the trunk of that car.
20:58Yes.
21:00Hey, get.
21:01Deep breaths.
21:02Deep breaths.
21:02No need to pull them
21:03all in this.
21:03Come here.
21:09I didn't hurt
21:09that woman, okay?
21:11I'm not a killer.
21:12Well, given she had
21:12about six inches
21:13and 20 pounds on you,
21:14I tend to agree.
21:15The thing is, Darius,
21:16you are a car thief.
21:17And you did steal that beaver.
21:19You just didn't know
21:19the first person who drove
21:20it left the body behind.
21:22Who are you, then?
21:25What is this?
21:26Me?
21:26I'm a PI.
21:27Yeah.
21:27As such, I do the occasional
21:29job for an insurance company.
21:30That company insures cars,
21:32and so they keep pretty
21:33meticulous records
21:33when it comes to car thieves.
21:34So I'm on a list.
21:36Yeah, you're on a list.
21:37That's how I found you.
21:38Someone saw the logo
21:39on your hat,
21:39so I checked the list
21:40for car thieves
21:41originally from Jacksonville,
21:42and bam,
21:44there you were.
21:45Pinched last year
21:46for joyriding
21:47in someone else's Lambeau.
21:48I'm a minor.
21:49All that stuff
21:50is supposed to be seen.
21:51Yeah, well, hey,
21:53insurance companies,
21:53what can I say?
21:54I tried to do
21:55for a thing, okay?
21:57I left the car trunk open
21:58so somebody would see
21:59the lady,
22:00and the police would arrest
22:01the person who owns the car.
22:03Well, the person who owns the car
22:05has an alibi
22:05described by Channel 7
22:07as ironclad,
22:08not to mention
22:08zero connection to the victim.
22:10That's why I think
22:10the car was actually
22:11stolen twice the other night.
22:12First by the killer,
22:13and then by you.
22:15What I don't know,
22:16what nobody knows
22:16except for you and him,
22:17is where the car
22:18was abandoned first.
22:20Where did he leave it
22:21before you stole it?
22:29Hey, hey.
22:31Uncle RJ,
22:32we're making a walk
22:32out of Vieja.
22:33Want to help?
22:34Uh, actually, kiddo,
22:35I need a quick word
22:36with your mom,
22:36and then I have to
22:37go meet a client.
22:38Do you need to bring a gun?
22:39No, sweetie,
22:40I don't even own a gun.
22:41That's because you can't
22:41own a gun.
22:42Can we just, uh,
22:43please?
22:45So this guy
22:46stole the car first,
22:47dumped it in the lot,
22:48and then the kid
22:49you found
22:50stole it a second time.
22:51Yes, he's the one
22:52who ended up
22:53in a car chase
22:53with police,
22:54but this guy,
22:55Popeye Cavs,
22:56he's the one
22:56that killed
22:56Roda Batista.
22:57On orders
22:58from Clay Gregory.
22:59In order to
23:00clear his name,
23:01make a play
23:01for my life insurance
23:02money, or both.
23:04All I could get
23:04tonight was video
23:05from a hardware store,
23:06but you can't
23:07miss the area.
23:08Maybe you find video
23:09from a different business.
23:10Give us Popeye's face.
23:11We find him.
23:12He gives us Clay.
23:17Hey.
23:20Were you sleeping
23:21with Maya Gregory?
23:23I'm asking as a wife,
23:24not a cop.
23:26If it's something
23:26that's gonna come out,
23:27I'd rather know now.
23:29No, I wasn't sleeping
23:30with Maya Gregory.
23:32Truth is,
23:33I didn't even know
23:34her that well.
23:35She died.
23:36This person,
23:37you didn't know
23:37very well.
23:38And it was,
23:39what, one week later,
23:40you lose it on some kid
23:41who breaks into your car?
23:45A few years back,
23:46I'm still working
23:47at the Herald.
23:48City desk sends me out
23:49on what they figured
23:49was a routine
23:50drug homicide.
23:52Someone smelled
23:53something awful
23:53coming from the trunk
23:54of a car,
23:55called the cops.
23:56I show up just as
23:56they're drilling the locks.
23:58Trunk pops open.
24:02I'm expecting the usual.
24:03Gangbanger,
24:04no ID,
24:04multiple gunshot wounds.
24:06Not a woman
24:07with a hanger
24:08wrapped around her neck
24:09and not someone I knew.
24:11Can you guess what I did?
24:13Took a picture.
24:18I'm thinking,
24:19hey, it's Maya,
24:19it's Maya from work.
24:21But I just keep
24:22bracketing the shots,
24:23changing the angles
24:23to get more of her hair,
24:24but not the face,
24:25not the face.
24:26No, the papers
24:26won't print faces
24:27of the dead.
24:28That's policy.
24:29You're doing your job.
24:30Shoot everything.
24:31That's what they expect.
24:33Nine times out of ten,
24:34they'll only use
24:35your most vanilla pick.
24:37The one that tells
24:38the story but won't upset.
24:40Thing is,
24:40the photographer.
24:44Yeah, he remembers
24:45all of them.
24:46Next day, I quit.
24:47I've had enough.
24:48But when it comes out
24:50that Clay's having
24:50an affair,
24:51and I don't know,
24:52I started following him.
24:53I started taking this picture.
24:56I didn't catch him
24:57in the act of anything.
25:00But when I looked
25:01at him through my lens,
25:03I swear I could see him.
25:05I could see who
25:06he really was.
25:09My cameras,
25:10all of a sudden,
25:10they were my eyes again.
25:12And they were gonna
25:13help me do something good.
25:14And then stupid Lucas Ochoa
25:16broke into your car
25:17and tried to take them
25:18from you.
25:21This new career you picked,
25:23it's hard not to notice
25:25you're still taking pictures.
25:26It's cheating spouses.
25:28Guys fake an injury
25:29to collect on disability.
25:30For now.
25:32But you stick with it.
25:34And you and I both know
25:35you're gonna start
25:36seeing the ugly stuff again.
25:39Well, I'll stick with it.
25:40Maybe some of the ugly stuff
25:41doesn't happen.
25:52Is she here?
25:53Is she at our finest table?
25:55Okay.
26:00Let me guess.
26:02You're still mad
26:02about the candy bar.
26:14Did you not hear me
26:16say I'm sorry?
26:17Did you not hear me
26:18say what you can do
26:18with your apologies?
26:19I did.
26:20I assume it's an expression
26:21you learn in prison.
26:22Do you think this is funny?
26:24Do you think lying
26:24about what happened
26:25between me and your stepbrother
26:26getting me shipped off
26:27to Appalachee
26:27for a year and a half
26:28is some kind of a joke?
26:30No, but you mess
26:31with one Ochoa
26:31or you mess
26:32with every Ochoa.
26:33All right, the Ochoas.
26:34Fort Lauderdale's
26:35answered the freaking Borgias.
26:36How's your dad, by the way?
26:37Is he gonna run for governor?
26:38Or would that
26:38put too many eyes on him?
26:39Make it too hard
26:40for him to accept
26:41all those bribes.
26:41Thanks, Senator Ochoa.
26:43It's very well.
26:43You know, after that
26:44being in court,
26:44I looked you up.
26:45I saw you were
26:45one of his special consultants.
26:47I'm curious,
26:47did you tell him
26:47how you consulted me
26:48right before you testified?
26:49Because, wow,
26:51special would be
26:51putting up mildly.
26:52I thought you were
26:52gonna consult
26:53my damn legs off.
26:54And please,
26:54please talk about
26:55why I called.
26:56Do you think
26:57you're out of your mind?
26:58There is no job.
27:00There is just me
27:00wanting to say I'm sorry.
27:02I thought I should
27:03do it face to face.
27:04But I knew if I didn't
27:05pretend to have work for you,
27:06you wouldn't come.
27:08He's saying you lied
27:09so you could apologize
27:10for lying.
27:11Tell me I pulled you
27:11away from something.
27:12You heard about
27:13the teacher they found
27:14in the trunk of the car
27:14the other day.
27:15I am this close to proving
27:16it was a murder for hire
27:17with a bill footed
27:18by Clay Gregory.
27:20What?
27:21Clay Gregory is like
27:22the Teflon Scott Peterson.
27:24He's this town's
27:25whitest,
27:26white whale
27:27and you're gonna
27:28you.
27:30Tell your dad
27:31I said hi.
27:46Hey, what's up?
27:47Hey, where are you?
27:49Trailer.
27:49The one in the crater?
27:51Yeah, the other day
27:52I told Mel about
27:53all the surveillance
27:54pics I took of Clay Gregory
27:55after Maya died.
27:56Figured I'd go through
27:57and we can't see
27:58if I missed anything.
27:59And?
28:00Pretty sure his hairline
28:01is starting to recede.
28:02Well, I'm heading
28:03to a press conference.
28:04It's supposed to be an update
28:05on Rhoda Batista
28:06but since I'm sleeping
28:07with the lead detective
28:07but since I'm sleeping with the lead detective
28:08I already got the scoop.
28:09The footage that you found
28:10led to more footage
28:11from a different business
28:12that showed the guy
28:13in the hoodie.
28:14Papa, I guess.
28:15What?
28:16Uh, nothing.
28:17Continue.
28:17Showed him getting into
28:18a silver sedan
28:19and driving away.
28:20Bad news is
28:20the camera is too far away
28:21to give a good look
28:22of his face
28:23or his license plate.
28:24Progress is progress.
28:25Go home, okay?
28:26I didn't think
28:26that trailer was safe
28:27before this ain't cool.
28:33Hey, T-Bow,
28:34how you doing, man?
28:35Moving on
28:36from the clown thing.
28:37Good for you.
28:37Sort of five years ago.
28:41T-Bow?
28:42T-Bow.
29:26I'm ready to save my life.
29:31Park's clear.
29:32No sign of the guy who shot at you.
29:34Yeah, it was Popeye, Cass.
29:35He saw his legs?
29:36I didn't need to.
29:37I paid Clay a visit.
29:38I told him I knew he hired someone to commit a murder that looked just like Maya's.
29:41Obviously, he called Popeye, told him I had to go, but this is good.
29:44Clay's getting sloppy.
29:45Not only did Popeye fail to kill me...
29:47No, he left blood evidence, his gun, and God knows what else behind him.
29:50Any of the kids' name, Clay's as good as God.
29:59I told R.J. he was welcome to still stay with us, but he wouldn't hear it.
30:02Someone tried to kill him tonight, and your doorstep is the last place he'd want to bring that much danger.
30:08And your doorstep's okay?
30:09You know me and R.J.'s story, don't you?
30:12Yours only, it's at Appalachee.
30:15Okay.
30:16That all he told you?
30:20Now, when your ex and I met, I was doing a stretch for holding up a convenience store in Coral.
30:28But the thing is, I was innocent.
30:32A common refrain around Appalachee, mind you.
30:34I'm innocent, and yet, in my case, it was God's honest truth.
30:42R.J. was the only one who believed me.
30:44He wasn't a P.I. yet, but he got himself a contraband phone and started looking into it.
30:49Made some calls, sent some emails, chipped away at the state's case, and finally, he was able to prove the
30:56robbery was the work of someone else.
30:58And the perpetrator just happened to leave the scene in a vehicle that looked remarkably like mine.
31:03They only arrested you because you had the same kind of car?
31:06Well, that, and I also robbed other convenience stores in the past.
31:10Point is, I was exonerated.
31:13But, because the gears of justice grind slowly, it amounted to me being released just one day earlier than I
31:21would have.
31:22So R.J. didn't really change much after all?
31:25He changed everything.
31:29Because the very first thing I did was I bought a scratcher.
31:32And that scratcher paid out a million bucks.
31:36And that million bucks bought me his bar.
31:44I'm not released this day instead of the next.
31:49Who knows what comes up to me?
32:02Uncle Arja, do you have any pencils in here?
32:04I have to do my homework.
32:06I was picking her from school when you called.
32:08What do you got?
32:09Remember how I told you I spent some time following Clay after Maya was killed?
32:12Well, last night before Popeye Cav showed up, I was going over some of my old photos and I remembered
32:16this guy.
32:20Why do I recognize him?
32:21Probably because you've driven behind a city bus sometime in the last 15 years.
32:25That's where he does most of his advertising.
32:27Ah, sleazy plastic surging guy.
32:29Yeah, with a name that sounds made up.
32:30Yep, Dr. Adrian Noble.
32:32That's his practice over there.
32:33Turns out, Adrian Noble was not his real name.
32:36It's actually Cecil Gregory.
32:38As in Clay Gregory.
32:39They're related?
32:40Cousins.
32:41Get this, back in 2020, old Cecil tried opening a second office in Miami.
32:45Did not go well.
32:46He was losing money hand over fist.
32:47Or at least he was until an electrical fire broke out and the whole place burned down.
32:51He walked away with a seven-figure insurance payout.
32:54Electrical fire.
32:55And Clay's a commercial electrician.
32:57If you were a total sleaze and your cousin helped you book an insurance company out of a million bucks,
33:01what wouldn't you do for him?
33:02Okay, so you think Adrian Noble isn't just Cecil Gregory.
33:05He's Popeye Cav's, too.
33:06All we have to do is look for Tom Petty's bite marks on his legs.
33:10The guy who sings free fall and bit someone?
33:12No, sweetie.
33:12Tom Petty's a dog now.
33:16That's him?
33:17There's a hole in your plan.
33:18He's wearing long pants.
33:20Okay.
33:24Hey, the show's over there.
33:30Hey, brother.
33:31You got the time?
33:32Yeah, it's 3.30.
33:36Oh, my God.
33:40No bite marks.
33:42No underwear either.
33:43Yeah, he's not our guy.
33:44No, because odds are our guy's already in custody.
33:48My captain said there was a break-in at a veterinary clinic this morning.
33:51Silent Alarm got tripped.
33:53A couple patrolmen responded.
33:55Caught the perp trying to sew up some wounds on his leg.
33:58He claimed they were from trying to climb over a barbed-wired fence.
34:01When they took him to the hospital, doctor who treated him said they were...
34:04Bites from a dog.
34:05There's a team searching his residence.
34:072018, East Bishop.
34:08Are we going to a crime scene now?
34:11You're going home.
34:13But if your Uncle R.J. promises no one else will lose their pants today, maybe he can meet me.
34:20See you, kiddo.
34:21Uncle R.J.
34:27So what's this?
34:28Bring your ex-con to work day?
34:30Captain said our guy's name is Wade Ennis.
34:32Two Ns.
34:33That's him over there.
34:35Well, it's something you should see.
34:56What's with the wheelchair?
34:58What's with any of this stuff?
35:01This is what I want to show you.
35:03Cigarettes?
35:04Same weird brand as a cigarette butt found in Maya Gregory's car a few years ago.
35:08The one with the DNA that was not a match for Clay.
35:10So you think Clay never actually laid hands on Maya?
35:13Okay, I heard this guy for her murder and the one from the other night.
35:16Okay, that's one possibility.
35:17Take to Braxdale.
35:21Sorry, what?
35:22Look, I know what you think you saw when you were following Clay a few years back.
35:27And yet there's evidence here to support what he's been saying the last few days,
35:31which is that his wife and Roda Batista were both killed by a serial killer.
35:35Talk to the Xanis guy.
35:36Talk to him.
35:37Tell him there's a deal if he serves up Clay.
35:39Watch how fast he flips.
35:43Never seen him before in my life.
35:45Wade.
35:45How many times I got to tell you?
35:46I don't know no Clay Gregory.
35:48I'm a serial killer.
35:50I'm a slave to my deviant passions.
35:54You realize you're looking at the death penalty, yes?
35:56You seen them, like, true crime documentaries about guys like me?
36:00We get, like, special treatment in prison.
36:03Hell, I think there might be visits to the conjugal strife.
36:08If you're just a serial killer, why'd you go after Mr. Decker last night?
36:12How'd you even know about him if it wasn't for Clay Gregory?
36:15I'm a riddle wrapped in a mystery.
36:17You're a moron wrapped in stupid.
36:19You should take it from someone that's actually been to prison.
36:22Guys like the one you're pretending to be, they don't do so well.
36:26You think the state's gonna be the one to put you down?
36:29Nah, it'll be some guy named Red, or Leon, or Bubba.
36:33And they're gonna be twice your size and half smart.
36:35And when they do it, Wade, it'll be ugly.
36:37It'll hurt.
36:39So do yourself a favor.
36:41And give us the guy that put you up to all this.
36:44Give us Clay Gregory.
36:47I do not know Clay Gregory.
36:49I do not know him here or there.
36:52I do not know him anywhere.
36:55Whoever he is, Slim.
36:58Whatever it is you think he did.
37:00I'm sorry.
37:01But I'm afraid he's gonna get away with it.
37:18I heard on the news someone confessed to killing those two women.
37:22And Bratz?
37:25Well, you still think Clay Gregory hired him to do it.
37:28His name is Wade Ennis.
37:29And I think because he knows he's going to prison no matter what,
37:33he might as well take all the credit and go in as Florida's answer to Hannibal Lecter.
37:40You're here to offer me another pretend job?
37:42I have this acquaintance.
37:45Someone I may or may not know through my father.
37:48Someone who may or may not be his specialist in, oh, let's just call it cyber security.
37:52The most crooked politician in the state of Florida has his own hacker?
37:56Let me show you how I'm not surprised I am.
37:58The point is I may have asked him to dox Wade Ennis.
38:01And so this may be a hard drive filled with everything Wade's done online over the last couple of years.
38:07Emails, credit card statements, eBay transactions,
38:10stuff the police won't be able to get their hands on for days.
38:13Figured.
38:14Dive in together.
38:15Maybe we find something that connects him to Clay Gregory.
38:24The other night, when I tried to apologize for what I said at your trial,
38:28you didn't want to hear it.
38:30I was hoping you might let me try one more time.
38:33If you think I don't know, it was under words from your father.
38:35It was.
38:37But if I hadn't lied to protect Lucas, there would have been consequences.
38:40But it was still wrong.
38:44And I'm sorry.
38:46What about everything that happened before you testified?
38:49Sorry to imagine that was on dad's orders.
38:51I knew where you were heading in a few hours.
38:54You didn't.
38:55Some guilty conscience?
38:56Guilty conscience.
38:57Nothing more.
38:58Is it?
39:01If you ever decide to follow in your dad's footsteps,
39:03you're going to make one hell of a politician.
39:05Oh, what makes you say that?
39:06Because I can tell when you're lying.
39:08I just don't mind it.
39:21What?
39:23When I was at Wade's house today, I noticed he was using a wheelchair like a piece of furniture.
39:27I figured it was something he stole off someone's curb.
39:29But according to this, he bought a brand new.
39:31So?
39:33So it was the same that Maya was killed.
39:35Okay, so maybe she fought back, stabbed him in the leg or something,
39:39and he needed the wheelchair to get around.
39:41No, he bought the wheelchair a few days before.
39:43A few days after, he started grub-hubbing every meal, breakfast, lunch, and dinner.
39:46That went on for two weeks straight.
39:48So after Maya dies, he's hurt and he's housebound,
39:52but he had to know he'd be hurt or why else buy the wheelchair?
39:56A little while ago, you said we were looking at receipts from Wade's pharmacy.
39:59Can you pull them up again, please?
40:01Yeah.
40:03Yeah, around the time we're talking about someone prescribing antibiotics,
40:06it just doesn't say who.
40:08Is there a name you're looking for?
40:10It's more like one I'm expecting to see.
40:14About a year and a half ago, I sprained my ankle.
40:17A year before that was the first time I had COVID.
40:19Okay.
40:20Both times, I was prescribed medication.
40:22Both times, I kept what I didn't use in case I needed it again.
40:26The point is, my doctor's name is right there on the bottles.
40:36Locked.
40:37Of course it is.
40:39Okay, look.
40:39Just because I kept my old prescription bottles.
40:42Psycho Killer Wooden?
40:48Great.
40:49Just great.
40:56You fighting today, Clay?
40:58Great not, Dick.
40:59This time of year, the best fishing's off a boat.
41:01Now that Maya's life insurance is paying out, I think I may get one.
41:05Or didn't you hear they finally got the guy who killed her?
41:09Yeah, I think you mean the guy you paid to kill her.
41:12Detective.
41:14Seriously.
41:15Back then, how many times did you people go through my finances?
41:18Did you ever find a penny out of place?
41:20We didn't.
41:22But turns out, that's only because Wade Ennis wasn't paid with money.
41:25I don't think you could have gotten into bed with a dumber killer for hire.
41:29I mean, Wade was supposed to kill Maya on a Wednesday, but he went ahead and did it on a
41:32Tuesday.
41:33Which wouldn't have been a problem, except Wednesday was the night you were planning on having an alibi.
41:37But then again, Wade's stupid. He cut both ways.
41:39He left a cigarette butt in Maya's car, and that led to DNA, which was undeniably not yours.
41:44Before we knew Wade's name, I was calling him Popeye Cavs.
41:46His swole lower legs, after all, were his most identifying feature.
41:50Turns out, they were not the result of hard work in the gym.
41:52They were implants.
41:54More specifically, they were paying me for choking the life out of poor Maya.
41:58You wanted to hire someone to kill her.
42:00You asked for references from not just the sleaziest person you knew,
42:03but a sleazy person who owed you, your cousin Cecil.
42:07It didn't take him long to think of a guy named Wade who wanted calf implants, but couldn't pay for
42:11them.
42:13Wade took the job because what's won life against shapely or more contoured calves?
42:19Bought himself a wheelchair for after the surgery, then he went and did the deed.
42:23I don't know, Jack.
42:24It's hard to imagine there's any record of my cousin forming that surgery.
42:29No, there isn't.
42:30But there is a record of him prescribing antibiotics to him.
42:38Seems the surgery wasn't done under the best conditions, and Wade got a bad infection.
42:42How do I know all this?
42:44Because old Cecil already copped all of it.
42:47He's under arrest, Mr. Gregory.
42:49And now, so are you.
42:56You end up at Appalachia Academy asking some old friends to say hello.
43:09Girls on the beaches commit a sound
43:13If they don't show yards and yards of skin
43:18I still don't get why you won't let me write about what happened.
43:21Kath, in case you hadn't noticed, everyone is writing about what happened.
43:24No, they're writing about Clay Gregory getting arrested.
43:26They don't know that you were the driving force.
43:28No offense, sweetie.
43:29Well, my story, as you know, is complicated.
43:32So you went to prison.
43:33So what?
43:34This is Florida.
43:34Going to prison is like a rite of passage.
43:36Plus, you're trying to get a business out of the ground.
43:38You think people aren't going to want to hire the PI who brought down Clay Gregory?
43:42Well, think about it.
43:43In the meantime, since Mel here has decided I can stay in your pool house indefinitely.
43:47Uh, I said you don't have to rush to find a place.
43:51I suggest you give her all the glory.
43:58Hey.
43:59I just wanted to say congrats on getting your guy.
44:02Huh.
44:05This is the part where you say, hey, thanks for doxing that maniac he hired.
44:09Now we're even.
44:10Even?
44:11Do you think helping me out one time makes up for 18 months in prison?
44:14I mean, it was like a pretty big help.
44:16It was a start.
44:17I'll let you know when we're even.
44:19What's up, Arch?
44:20Dewey.
44:22Oh, you and this place, you were made for each other.
44:26What do you mean, the bar?
44:26Florida.
44:28Weirdest state in the union.
44:31None of it ever fazes you, huh?
44:33You treat everyone exactly the same.
44:36There's some other way.
44:41Oh, I almost forgot.
