00:01Previously on RJ Decker.
00:02What are you wearing?
00:03Excuse me.
00:04Change your shirt and meet me at the address I'm about to send you.
00:06Who needs you to change your shirt?
00:08Wish.
00:09Yeah, you might have a new client for me.
00:11Welcome to the humble abode of the Carter family.
00:13That's Holden, I think he may have relaxed.
00:15RJ, Holden has been found.
00:17Holden was about to blow the whistle.
00:19He was willing to go up against his own boss.
00:21Holden wasn't supposed to die.
00:23The plan was only to discredit him.
00:26I still think it was me.
00:27It was not you.
00:35Of course I'll have to notify the police.
00:38This is a case for homicide.
00:41Homicide?
00:41I don't think you fully understand, Bigelow.
00:45You've been murdered.
00:46RJ, is that you?
00:48Yeah.
00:49Are you alone?
00:51Yes, very.
00:53Aw, no love connection?
00:55No, it wasn't her type.
00:56Dude, you're everybody's type.
01:01Maybe you could have worn a nicer shirt.
01:03Yeah, or my prison blues.
01:06I thought my criminal record might be a deal breaker,
01:09but it turns out she asked Mauricio to set us up because she only dates felons.
01:13Creepy.
01:14Yeah.
01:15But doesn't that make you her type?
01:17Apparently I'm not felonious enough.
01:19She likes to repeat offenders.
01:23Okay.
01:24Maybe when it comes to matchmakers, we can do better than our old pals from Apalachee.
01:30Sorry, what?
01:31Who's we?
01:32The algorithms for the dating apps are like insano.
01:34I can help you poke around online tomorrow and try to find the right one.
01:37Algorithms?
01:38I think I'd rather go back to prison.
01:40And why are you so determined to fix me up all of a sudden?
01:44I'm just trying to help you make better choices, that's all.
01:48Better than what?
01:49I saw you having drinks with Emi Ochoa at FM station and you looked friendly.
01:55That's not what you think.
01:56We were married.
01:57Okay, I know what you look like when you want to have sex.
02:00Emi Ochoa and I are not sleeping together.
02:02And if we're not, she feels bad about what happened.
02:04She wants to make up for it.
02:06And how exactly does one make up for perjuring oneself and sending an innocent person to prison?
02:10She brought me a case last week.
02:11It worked out.
02:12We went out for a drink to celebrate.
02:13That's it.
02:14I'm fine.
02:15Everything's fine.
02:16Okay?
02:18So if you'll excuse me, I have an early meeting with a client tomorrow.
02:22I'm not going to sleep with him either.
02:28Okay, here's Louise on her way to yoga.
02:32Playing mahjong at the club.
02:36Buying groceries.
02:37Bob.
02:40As much as I'd like to keep taking your money.
02:42I've been following your wife for a week.
02:44I have seen nothing that tells me she's cheating on you.
02:47Look at Louise.
02:49Now look at me.
02:50She is at least a nine.
02:52I am a five.
02:54And that's why my psoriasis isn't acting up.
02:56I should have known better than to think that I could keep her happy.
02:59Are you sure this whole affair thing isn't just all in your head?
03:02I mean, are you sure?
03:04Do you see these earrings?
03:06Yeah.
03:06I didn't buy those for her.
03:08I checked her credit card receipts.
03:10She didn't buy them for herself.
03:11And when I asked her about it, she said that they were gifts from her mother.
03:15But I know that she's lying.
03:21I love her, Mr. Decker, so much.
03:24And I need to know what's going on.
03:26Because if I know what's going on, maybe I can fix it.
03:30Maybe I can make her love me again.
03:46I'm playing diamonds, cash and chicks.
03:51Putting fancy things around my neck.
03:55And I'd give her one hell of a neck.
04:00I'm playing diamonds, cash and chicks.
04:07Another dollar, another day.
04:12Senoritas and Saint Tropez.
04:16Pouring chili on my Frito-Lays.
04:20No, ma'am, I ain't on no holiday.
04:26Playing diamonds, cash and chicks.
04:30Putting fancy things around my neck.
04:35And I'd give her one hell of a neck.
04:39I'm playing diamonds, cash and chicks.
04:45It's just a four to the one to the five.
04:51Again and again till you get just right.
04:55It might take all day and all through the night.
05:00But even then, babe, you ain't qualified.
05:05I'm playing diamonds, cash and chicks.
05:09And I ain't hired for my intellect.
05:14I'm just out here paying my respects.
05:19To the T-bombs and the T-birds and even T-rex.
05:24I'm playing diamonds, cash and chicks.
05:30Four to the one to the five.
05:33Again and again till we get it right.
05:39It's just the four to the one to the five.
05:44Again and again till we get it right.
05:49It's just the four to the five.
05:51Hey, Bob.
05:52I've been thinking.
05:52Maybe you're right.
05:53Maybe the affair is all in my head.
05:55Bob, do you want to think about a storage locker on 19th Street?
06:00No.
06:00Why?
06:01Did Louise go to a storage locker?
06:02Is that where you are now?
06:04No, I'm in front of a house on Palmetto.
06:06She just went inside.
06:07Does it have a fountain in front with pink flamingos?
06:09Yeah, it does.
06:11Son of a...
06:11That's the Howard's house.
06:13She must be there to meet Preston.
06:14Okay, who's Preston?
06:15We know him and his wife from the club.
06:17He and Louise both played in the pickleball tournament.
06:19Bob, listen to me.
06:21Everything's gonna be okay.
06:22Deep breaths.
06:23And repeat after me, okay?
06:25Everything...
06:26Everything.
06:27Is gonna be...
06:32Mr. Decker, are you there?
06:35Mr. Decker, are you there?
06:50Fire Marshal says it's looking like an accident.
06:53There's a gas leak somewhere inside, then a spark.
06:55Happens sometimes in these old houses that haven't converted to electric.
06:58What about bodies?
06:59One.
07:00Hadley Burns had no ID yet.
07:01It's gotta be my client's wife.
07:03I saw her go inside right before it happened.
07:06Respectfully, a homicide detective.
07:07Not a tragic accident, detective.
07:09Yeah, I get it then.
07:10Unless you're thinking the Fire Marshal has it wrong.
07:13My client was convinced his wife was having an affair.
07:16Maybe with the guy that lives in this house.
07:1830 seconds after she went inside, the place goes up in smoke.
07:22What?
07:23What?
07:23You think what?
07:24He rigged the house, waited for you to confirm she was here, and then...
07:27What's possible?
07:28I mean, he eyes up until now seem like nothing but a nice guy.
07:30But who knows?
07:34No, no, no, no, no!
07:37Sir, you have to stay back.
07:39This is my house, please.
07:39Sir.
07:40I need to find my wife.
07:41Sir.
07:41Her name is Natalie.
07:42Detective Melabreu, are you Preston Howard?
07:44Yes.
07:45I've been trying to reach my wife, and I can't be so much.
07:47She wasn't in there.
07:48Mr. Howard, there was one fatality, but we have reason to believe it was someone other
07:52than your wife.
07:53You're saying somebody other than Natalie?
07:54Mr. Howard, do you know Louise Vernon?
07:58Yeah, but we go to the same country club.
08:01You're saying she was inside my house?
08:03Did she do this?
08:04Didn't he say she was coming here to me to you today?
08:07Me?
08:09Well, why?
08:10Why would she?
08:11Why isn't anybody trying to find my wife?
08:13Mr. Howard, but first, I know the fire marshal has some questions about your house.
08:19I can't believe it.
08:20I can't believe that Louise is gone.
08:22Like I said, the person who died, the body, it hasn't been identified yet.
08:27You said you saw her go inside.
08:29Who else could it be?
08:31Mr. Vernon, have you ever been inside the Howard's house?
08:34Uh, they hosted a holiday cocktail thing a few years ago.
08:39Why?
08:40You called Mr. Decker this morning.
08:42He told you he saw Louise go inside.
08:45Then...
08:49You...
08:50You think that I blew it up somehow?
08:53Are you insane?
08:54You did hire a PI because you thought your wife was cheating on you.
08:57I...
08:58I told you how much I loved her.
09:00I told you I wanted to fix things.
09:02I know.
09:03I know.
09:04Please, just go.
09:09Thoughts?
09:11My gut says he didn't do it.
09:13And yet?
09:14Yeah, jealous husband, dead wife.
09:16I know.
09:16Two and two almost always equal four.
09:18And yet, the fire marshal's preliminary take was the explosion was accidental.
09:23And yet, Louise was up to something this morning.
09:25The car rental, the wig, the storage locker...
09:27I repeat, two plus two almost always equal four.
09:30Look, she was having an affair.
09:31She changed her car in her appearance to visit a neighborhood where she could have been recognized.
09:35Her death?
09:35Act of God, not act of Bob.
09:38Okay.
09:39Look, something's up at the storage locker.
09:41It was big.
09:41It's way too big for a wig and a change of clothes.
09:44I'm gonna check it out.
09:44Okay, you find something that tells you that the explosion wasn't an accident, you let me know.
09:48Meantime, I'm gonna go focus on crimes.
09:50I know we're murders.
10:01Gotcha.
10:02Let's go.
10:20And see.

11:39black market i recognized that from a bulletin one of those companies emailed me and if i had to

15:49before that blunt force trauma to the head you broke in natalie caught you by surprise and there

17:58together
17:59we told preston he could stay with us as long as he needs i can't even imagine losing your home
18:05and
18:05your wife all in an instant grant's been out there with him all morning but it's so hard
18:10neither of us knows what to say you've known the howards a long time god 15 years
18:17i know it's none of my business but if you're here to confirm the stove was the source of the
18:21leak be
18:21gentle he told us he's been meaning to replace that old gas range for years actually miss summers we're
18:26here to tell him that that old gas stove wasn't the cause of natalie's death oh my god well he'll
18:32be
18:32he'll be so relieved i'm not so sure he will you're saying what happened to natalie wasn't an accident
18:41you're saying that she was murdered emmy believes that based off the skull fracture the weapon was
18:46something heavy and rounded like a pipe killer only set the explosion to cover their tracks
18:53you asked me about louise vernon yesterday it sounded like she had been by the house yeah because she had
18:58but as it turns out she wasn't there to hurt anyone she was there to rob the place i'm not
19:02sure the
19:03flpd was ready to share that particular detail but yes it's true we like louise vernon for a series
19:10of robberies in this part of town hold on we were robbed last year yeah so were two other houses
19:15on
19:16this street are you saying that she was the one who probably but but it's not what we're here for
19:20and we were able to prove louise didn't kill natalie so mr howard can you think of anybody else who
19:25may
19:26have wanted to hurt her no one i mean natalie was a saint i mean things were good with you
19:33guys
19:34what do you mean your marriage no bumps in the road nothing like that
19:41you think that i killed my wife just routine questions mr howard the hell they are
19:46you don't say another word not without an attorney okay all we're trying to do is eliminate mr
19:50howard howard as a suspect yeah well sorry you're not going to do that here
19:57that grant's a real charmer huh yeah humble too
20:02it's a conspicuous inconspicuous consumption doesn't it detective abrayu
20:07so sorry i i didn't want to say anything in front of preston but
20:11there was some trouble in their marriage not that i think he would ever hurt natalie but i just
20:18wouldn't want you to find out later that we'd held anything back what kind of trouble
20:22preston asked grant for a loan a few weeks ago something about natalie spending too much
20:29that's all i know
20:33imagine my surprise you reaching out in the middle of the day saying you'd like to meet in public no
20:41less what do you mean well your newspaper hasn't exactly been kind to my family over the years
20:51not sure what your readers would think if they saw us having coffee together miss de la croix
20:56first it's catherine second i don't think our readers would be the least bit surprised they
21:01know the broward county herald's only ever after the facts not sure my father would agree but it's
21:07nice to finally put a face to the byline my assistant said you had some questions about ed carter
21:14for decades he oversaw one of the biggest chains of drug rehab clinics in the state now he stands
21:19accused of defrauding thousands of clients and orchestrating the death of his own son it's no secret
21:24he's always been one of your father's biggest donors just like it's no secret that in light of
21:29those allegations my father returned mr carter's most recent donation and introduced legislation to
21:36increase funding and oversight for addiction treatment it's my understanding you played a big
21:39part in bringing ed carter down you you worked with a private investigator to team up for law
21:44enforcement i'm afraid that because the investigation is ongoing i can't comment on that at this time
21:50huh what about the pi i see a lot to comment i understand he has some interesting ties to your
21:55family too your stepbrother in particular
22:03sort of a no-no when you've agreed to an interview is that what this is an interview
22:10because it seems more like an invasion of your ex-husband's privacy
22:14after he did what he did to lucas you think we didn't find out every little thing we could about
22:18him i think you mean what lucas did to rj he was the one who committed a crime that day
22:22but rj went
22:23to prison thanks in no small part to the testimony you gave at his trial i take it you don't
22:28like that
22:28i've been in rj's orbit but did it ever occur to you that i genuinely want to help him if
22:36you want to
22:36help him maybe you'd like to take this opportunity to admit on the record that you perjured yourself two
22:42years ago of course that might mean a little prison time for you
22:49it's been a pleasure miss delacroix
22:58same thanks you've been a big help
23:02million dollar life insurance policy on his recently deceased wife plus the 2.5 from the house assuming
23:08that was insured too preston howard's money troubles are over between the windfall and the attention
23:13this case is getting it's gonna have lawyers lining up to represent him good ones hope you got a good
23:17look at him today because we won't see him again for a while i bet you 50 bucks you're wrong
23:25i'm sorry for the way that grant spoke to you he wasn't wrong a lawyer would make a lot of
23:31sense
23:33and more importantly i think i might know who killed natalie over all the years mr howard
23:41i've never paid much attention to our finances natalie always took care of the bills about a month ago
23:48i noticed that the balance in our joint savings it seemed low when i looked into it i saw that
23:54she
23:54had been making some big cash withdrawals every month going back almost a year always just under ten
24:00thousand dollars 10k being a threshold for reporting to the irs she said that it had to be some kind
24:06of mistake and that she would look into it but she seemed she seemed afraid and i was worried
24:17so the next time that she said she had errands to run i followed her she went to the bank
24:23made a cash
24:23withdrawal and she drove straight to dixie court it's a rough area she gave the money to a guy that
24:28i'd never seen before tattoos everywhere even on his face and when she got home i asked her point
24:36blank are you buying drugs are you gambling she wouldn't tell me she just said that it was the
24:44last time i told her look whatever's going on it's okay but we can go to the police she said
24:51that she was
24:52planning to go herself she just said that she needed more time whatever natalie got herself into i don't know
25:03but maybe this guy wasn't okay her putting it into it
25:08well can you tell us exactly where you saw natalie meet with him yeah
25:24what's your favorite
25:26like chocolate or vanilla the beatles of the stones crockett or tubs clubs of what
25:38are you really gonna sit there and pretend you don't know the guys from my advice
25:42i know the guys from fort lauderdale vice i'm talking about the tv show the one you know what
25:46absolutely forget it forget it you are a terrible stakeout partner why don't you call
26:17I had no idea it was Mrs. H's.
26:21Well, we have pictures of her, too, if you'd like to see them, Andre.
26:24I get why you brought me here.
26:26A nice white lady coming to see a guy with his face all tattered on.
26:29Oh, God, you're not here because of the ink on your face.
26:32You're here because of the ink on your rap sheet.
26:33You got eight arrests for possession of a controlled substance,
26:3611 more for possession with intent to distribute.
26:38I was a dealer.
26:40Emphasis on was.
26:41So if we were to test what's left of Mrs. H,
26:44we wouldn't find any drugs in her system?
26:45No, I left all that behind.
26:47I work as a youth counselor now.
26:49How do you explain all that money Natalie Howard is bringing you there?
26:52It's for a community center I'm helping get built.
26:54The construction site you picked me up at, that's where it's going to be.
26:58Name for my baby brother, Omari.
27:00He's the reason me and Mrs. H met.
27:02And how do they know each other?
27:04Actually, they didn't.
27:06He died last year.
27:08Hit and run.
27:10Story made a lot of the papers because he had just got a full ride to Miami.
27:16Yeah, boy, Kahoot.
27:18But whoever ran him down didn't give a damn who he was.
27:22Left him there to die.
27:23Mrs. H showed about the funeral, told my mom she read about it.
27:26Said she knew what we were going through because she lost a son to a drunk driver.
27:30When I told her I was trying to get a community center built, name it after Omari,
27:34she plans to 100 grand.
27:35People donating that amount don't tend to do it in cash.
27:38They write checks.
27:40They want the tax deductions.
27:41Honestly, I thought it was a little sus too.
27:44She said she wanted to be anonymous.
27:46That the only person deserved any attention was Omari.
27:50Can you account for your whereabouts on Tuesday between 10 a.m. and noon?
27:53I can.
27:53So can a couple hundred other people.
27:56I was at Mercer Elementary School giving a talk about staying away from drugs.
28:05Let's just say everything he told us was on the level.
28:08Natalie Howard was taking money out for good reason.
28:11When Preston Howard found out about it, why not just tell him the truth?
28:14She'll do you one better.
28:15Why did she tell him she was planning to go to the police?
28:18One sec.
28:21Hey, what's up?
28:22Am I catching you at a bad time?
28:24No, it's a good time, actually.
28:25I just got out of an interrogation.
28:27Funny.
28:28I'm calling because I went through one of those myself today.
28:41Hey.
28:42Hey, how was your day?
28:43You get up to anything interesting?
28:45I did, actually.
28:47I'm doing a story in that big win you had, the Ed Carter thing.
28:51I thought I should have a conversation with Emmy Ochoa.
28:54Oh, really?
28:54Funny.
28:55You didn't mention that story to me.
28:56Oh, I'm sorry.
28:57Are we keeping score now when it comes to things one of us didn't tell the other?
29:01I get what you like about her, by the way.
29:03I mean, her capacity for forgiveness, her willingness to get to bed figuratively, of course,
29:07with the meth addict who tried to kill her brother for, you know, no reason at all.
29:12I mean, people have been sainted for less.
29:14I told you, okay?
29:15I told you.
29:16She regrets what she did.
29:17I'm glad that's enough for you.
29:19It isn't for me.
29:25Found something.
29:26Yeah.
29:26When you're done with your personal calls?
29:27Sorry.
29:29What did Catherine do now?
29:31Listen, you are, for all your faults, one of the coolest customers I've ever met.
29:36Nothing ever seems to bother you except for when my wife calls you on your BS.
29:41I'm going to go on a limb and say it has something to do with Emmy Ochoa.
29:44Let's just say Catherine decided to introduce herself today, and we'll just leave it at that.
29:50Oh, man.
29:52Did I ever tell you about the day you were sentenced, what Catherine did?
29:57Mm-mm.
29:58Went home, got in bed, and didn't get out for three days.
30:02I remember thinking, like, hey, what the hell?
30:05This is her ex.
30:06You know, most people, they hear their ex is going to prison, they throw a party.
30:09And I will admit that, like, for a millisecond, I thought maybe she wasn't over you.
30:13But then I realized, no, my beautiful wife, your beautiful ex, she just loves bigger than I understood.
30:22And when you love that big, you worry that big.
30:26My question for you is, do you love being loved big?
30:31Because if you don't...
30:40You said you had something.
30:42Yeah.
30:46Everything Andre Blake told us checked out.
30:48He was at that school the day the Howard's house blew up, and his brother was killed in a hit
30:52-and-run last year.
30:54Okay, so as far as suspects go, we're back to square one.
30:57In the death of Natalie Howard, yes.
30:59In the death of baby bro, not so much.
31:02Natalie Howard never had a kid, let alone one killed by a drunk driver.
31:05So, I wondered, why show up at Omari Blake's funeral?
31:08Why pledge a hundred grand to a community center being built in his honor?
31:13Let me guess, once Natalie's death was ruled a homicide, you got access to her phone records.
31:18Way ahead of you.
31:19The night Omari Blake died in that hit-and-run, guess whose phone was pinging off the nearest tower?
31:24Okay, so if Natalie Howard killed Omari, but Omari's brother didn't kill Natalie, then maybe one of the family members
31:31found out the truth and killed her to get revenge.
31:37Sorry, it's my client. I'm sorry.
31:40Hey, Bob, what's up? You need an update?
31:41No, I just got home. Someone must have broken in. Everything is torn apart.
31:45I didn't want to call the police because of everything going on with Louise, but...
31:50Okay, Bob, take a deep breath. Just get out of the house. I'll be there and, like...
31:54I just heard something. I think the person who did this missed...
31:58Bob. Bob, what was that? Bob, misery. What was that? Bob!
32:13Paramedics say he'll make it, but...
32:15Blow us to the back of the head. Odds are you to see who did it.
32:18Blow to the back of the head is, like, Natalie Howard.
32:20You think the guy who killed her did this?
32:22I mean, as far as signatures go, hitting people on the head is not a very unique one.
32:26Even if you're right, what motive would they have for attacking them both?
32:30Well, any luck, the answer's gonna come from that guy right there.
32:34Mr. Adult Onesie?
32:35Actually, Mr. Ring Camera. He just told me his has a great view of Bob's driveway.
32:44Hey, are you seriously using terrycloth again?
32:46How many times have I told you, microfiber only?
32:56Hey, if you're looking for Preston, he isn't here.
32:59Had to go make some funeral arrangements for Natalie.
33:01Actually, Mr. Summers, we're here for you.
33:06We have video of this car arriving at Bob Vernon's house just minutes before someone assaulted him last night.
33:11There's lots of cars like this out there.
33:13Yeah.
33:14But only one lux guy won, right?
33:18Lawyer.
33:27This is what you've been doing?
33:29Yeah.
33:30Well, a complicated case.
33:31I thought some visual aids might help.
33:33I would say it looks like something Sophia may, but I don't know if she can do better than this.
33:38Three couples, all friends from the same country club, all connected by the murder of Natalie Howard.
33:43And by the bandit of Broward, a.k.a. Louise Vernon.
33:46Exactly. She did rob the Summers' house. She attempted to rob the Howard's house.
33:51I think she's the reason Grant went to Bob's house last night.
33:55Revenge?
33:55Asset retrieval. I told Louise it's my least favorite job, but it's a thing for a reason.
33:59Someone steals your stuff, you want it back.
34:02Louise's storage locker was a detail we kept out of the press.
34:04Yes, exactly. That's why I think Grant went to her house last night, tore it up, looking for something she
34:08stole.
34:09Why wouldn't he just contact the police, ask if his property was recovered?
34:12Well, you're assuming what he was looking for, he'd be okay with the police knowing about.
34:15What, like a brick of cocaine or something?
34:17Spidey Sen says no, but that's only because based on the items retrieved from the storage locker, she wasn't into
34:21drugs.
34:22Only things that were nice.
34:24What nice thing would have tied Grant to a crime?
34:26Don't know, but I gotta think it's the same reason he killed Natalie Howard.
34:31Well, lucky for us, we have a bandit who can just tell us what she stole.
34:35You really think what happened to Bob was my fault?
34:38Well, we think they're connected, yeah.
34:42All this awfulness.
34:47Just because I was bored and needed a little excitement in my life.
34:51Bob's doctor said he opened size this morning.
34:56He didn't say anything, but she thinks it's a good sign.
35:01She thinks he's gonna be okay.
35:04That's good, Louise.
35:06I'm glad.
35:09You said this is the claim Grant and Don fought with their insurance company after I robbed them,
35:13but I'm still a little fuzzy on what I'm supposed to be looking for.
35:17Something that isn't there.
35:19The idea is you stole something that could have gotten Grant in trouble.
35:23And if you did, there's a good chance you wouldn't have made a claim for it.
35:29Like the dog that doesn't bark, right?
35:32It's the absence of things that matters.
35:34I'm guessing you stole the complete works of Sherlock Holmes at some point.
35:42Wow.
35:44I'm the one being accused of theft?
35:47What do you mean?
35:49Grant and Don have been ripping off their insurance company.
35:54Erte statuette?
35:55Yeah.
35:56Poochie dress?
35:57Emerald brooch?
35:59They claimed at least 20,000 bucks worth of stuff that I definitely didn't take.
36:06You, uh, want to charge him for fraud?
36:08I'm willing to testify.
36:10Oh, yeah.
36:10In exchange for reducing the charges against you?
36:13Actually, I...
36:15I was hoping I could get permission to visit Bob's room.
36:19I...
36:19I know I'm under arrest,
36:22but...
36:23I'd like to hold his hand.
36:25Maybe even be there when he wakes up.
36:29You find something that proves Grant Summers is a killer,
36:31and I'll work on that and the charges.
36:39Huh.
36:41The most valuable thing I took from Grant and Don's house?
36:44The one they could have made a huge legitimate claim for?
36:46Mm-hmm.
36:48It's not listed here.
36:55There.
36:56Right there.
36:59Ostrous skin with 18-karat gold hardware.
37:02There were only six made.
37:03One of them was auctioned at Sotheby's last year.
37:05Sold for over 200,000.
37:08Of course, I...
37:09I couldn't swear it would have attracted too much attention,
37:12but...
37:13sure it was nice to look at.
37:14Okay, maybe Grant stole it.
37:16They didn't make a claim because they were timed to the crime.
37:18A murder?
37:18An attempted murder?
37:19Exploded the house off?
37:20Or a stolen bag?
37:21I don't think so.
37:21A stolen bag worth over 200 grand.
37:24I don't think it was the bag he was looking for.
37:26I think it's what was inside the bag.
37:28Did you know that was in there?
37:30No.
37:30I told you I never used the bag, but I don't get it.
37:33What's so special about a license plate?
37:35Ordinarily not much, but I think this one's going to prove one of the Summers is a killer.
37:44The Summers.
37:46Do you recognize these?
37:50Of course, they were all stolen from my home, but I'm confused.
37:54Is that why you asked me to come here?
37:57To give them back to me?
38:00Because I thought you had questions about the little misunderstanding between Grant and Bob Vernon.
38:05You mean when Grant misunderstood a pipe to the back of Bob's skull?
38:09Grant went there to talk to Bob about what Louise had done.
38:12And things got heated, and Bob came at him.
38:16Grant was just defending himself.
38:19What about this?
38:22Recognize this?
38:24No, that isn't mine.
38:27You sure?
38:28Because a bag like that, it's easy to trace.
38:30Your husband got it at auction a year ago, just before your 50th birthday,
38:34which, according to social media posts, you celebrated at Cabrera in Miami.
38:43Yes, sorry.
38:44I remember now.
38:46I have so many bags.
38:48I suppose I just, I forgot about this one.
38:51That must be nice.
38:52To be so rich, you could forget about one that costs six figures.
38:55What about this?
38:57Recognize that?
38:59That appears to be a plate from a car I reported stolen last year.
39:04Well, not just last year.
39:05The day after your birthday party.
39:08I'm confused.
39:09Did you find the car?
39:10No, odds are we never will, because odds are you and Grant got rid of it.
39:14That's crazy.
39:15Why would we do that?
39:16Because it was your car that struck and killed a kid named Omari Blake last year.
39:22At first, we thought it was Natalie who did it, but no, she was just the passenger, wasn't she?
39:27We traced the chain of title on the car.
39:301975 Mercedes SLC.
39:32It's a real classic.
39:33Originally purchased by your father the week you were born.
39:35He transferred the title to you when you turned 16.
39:38And you could have just gotten rid of the plate along with the car,
39:40but it was more than just proof of a crime, wasn't it?
39:46It was proof of how much Daddy loved you and how special you are.
39:50Yeah, so much more special than some random 17-year-old on a bike.
39:55It's too bad that we stole your bag before you had a chance to get this out.
40:01Obviously, you managed to swear Natalie to secrecy that night.
40:05But unlike you, her conscience, it got to her.
40:09She ended up donating $100,000 to a community center in Omari's name.
40:13Recently, she told her husband there was something she needed to tell him.
40:16And we think she was going to spill about what really happened that night.
40:19And we think she gave you the opportunity to do the same.
40:22And instead, you sick your psycho husband on her.
40:27No.
40:28No, Grant would never.
40:30He's a good man.
40:32So good he wouldn't take a plea deal to pin Omari and Natalie's murder on you?
40:36Because you should know the DA's office is about to offer him one.
40:39In about 20 minutes.
40:41Unless, of course, you're going to talk about a deal for yourself.
40:51Kath.
40:53You made it.
40:54You said in your text you had a much better story for me than Emi Ochoa dupes Florida P.I.
40:59a second time.
41:00How could I resist?
41:01Look, about that, I...
41:02It's okay.
41:04I overstepped.
41:05Not a lot.
41:07But enough.
41:09So still pals, Emi?
41:10Well, it depends how good this other story is.
41:12Well, actually, you have your choice of two.
41:14I hear it.
41:14My client, Bob Vernon, husband of the infamous band of Broward, he hasn't talked to the press since he got
41:19out of the hospital.
41:20But for the life of a cop who just talked the DA into a plea deal that would see her
41:24serve less than a year, you'd make an exception.
41:28And behind door number two?
41:31You see that group over there?
41:34It's the family of Omari Blake.
41:37I just told them how Don and Grant Summer, they couldn't turn on each other fast enough.
41:42They're both probably going to go away for life.
41:44Now, it doesn't bring Omari back, but they're all glad to be finally getting some justice.
41:49Now, I figured a piece in the Herald would be a good way to remind people who he was.
41:53How much he was loved.
41:55Not to mention some good publicity for the community center of the building.
42:01You're really going to make me choose.
42:03Well, it depends.
42:05You're going to quit trying to make me go on the dating apps?
42:07I'll let you know after we talk to the Blakes.
42:11All right.
42:12Let's talk to the Blakes.
42:14Let's talk to the Blakes.
42:45Let's talk to the Blakes.
42:50Let's talk to the Blakes.
