00:01Previously on RJ Decker. You beat up a kid? He wasn't a kid. He was 20 years old.
00:05And as it turns out the son of a state senator. Lucille's are gonna put you on
00:08your ass, son. Why are you really here? I'm here to talk about this. What you're doing here, I
00:14respect it. But is it wise? You have a new COO. Someone who, with a single call from me,
00:20will violate you back to Appalachia. Accept the offer. You get sent back. I don't believe you'll
00:25ever get help. I think I realized what I wanted to say. What? Screw your dad. Lucas was sent
00:32to steal your camera. This time you found out why. Sir? Yeah. You mind telling me one more
00:44time what happened here tonight? Yeah, I was walking in my car. I saw the guy broken into
00:49the trunk. He sees me. He takes off with my camera. I'm a photographer. I can't lose my
00:53camera. So I chased him down. Caught him. He started throwing punches. I punched back.
01:00I called the cops. Yeah. See, that's not the story we're getting from him.
01:09Okay. Would you please turn around, show me your hands?
01:17Hey, RJ. You okay? Mm-hmm. You sure this is the right next move? It's the only next move.
01:38I appreciate all you being here.
01:41Mel, I think you're the only one that hasn't met Amy. Yeah, well, we can skip the formalities,
01:46yeah? You said there's things you need to tell us. Let's cut to the chase.
01:52Amy's father. The other day he had my CRO replaced. Threatened to use a guy to have me sent back
01:57to prison. Amy and I may know a way to have Victor sent to prison instead. We're here to ask
02:05your help. Okay. You all know this story. Lucas Lechoa breaks into my car. He runs up with one of
02:17my cameras.
02:18I chased him down. There's a fight followed by a joke of a trial and an 18-month prison sentence.
02:25That whole time I thought he was just some spoiled rich kid, and he did what he did because he
02:28felt
02:28like doing it. Turns out that was wrong. He was sent there that night by his father.
02:35My father thought there were pictures on the camera's SD card that could prove damaging. Lucas was
02:41supposed to steal the camera and destroy it. Well, what were the pictures of? I don't know. I didn't find
02:47out
02:47about any of this until things went sideways, and Lucas ended up in the hospital. I dug up some of
02:52my old notes, and according to the dates, the pictures had to be for my last two assignments
02:56at the newspaper. One was the birth of a baby hippo at the zoo in Miami. Unless Victor was the
03:00father,
03:01I doubt those were the pictures he'd be worried about. The other more likely candidate was a mob-style
03:05hit that went down in a fancy restaurant, Il Saborre. I remember that. I wrote a couple articles.
03:11The victim was a financial advisor, Peter Bellwether. A man in a ski mask gunned him down at his
03:17table. I was the first news person on the scene that night. I got there even before the yellow
03:21tape went up. Obviously, I don't remember capturing anything that would have been damaging to someone
03:25like Victor, but according to Emmy, there has to be a connection. Probably too much to hope Daddy did
03:32the shooting himself. He'd never put himself at that much risk, but obviously you do think murder's
03:36in his repertoire, right? Aside from the part he asked me to play in RJ's prosecution, he's kept me
03:42siloed from anything criminal. All I know for sure is that the possibility of
03:47RJ's photographs coming to light made him very nervous. Hence Lucas being sent to steal my camera.
03:53When that didn't work, Victor needed me on trial so my camera would end up in an evidence room.
03:58That way a friend of the family, maybe a cop on the payroll, or a crony at the DA's office
04:02could
04:02sneak in and steal the SD card. In other words, the pictures are long gone. Actually, they aren't.
04:08The SD card reached me before my father. I told him it was destroyed, but the truth was I gave
04:13it to
04:13someone to hold on to. I felt terrible about what I had said at RJ's trial. I thought, I don't
04:19know,
04:20I might need it someday. After this, I'm gonna go get it. I was hoping you could go through your
04:25old notes from when you wrote about Peter Bellweather's murder, see if there's anything
04:28that didn't make the articles that could help us figure out a connection of Victor.
04:31Absolutely. You want me to go to the station, go through the old case files, look for this thing?
04:35If you wouldn't mind. But wait, uh, before you go, there's something you both need to know. It's about
04:40the break-in at the house.
04:48Hey, I just want to say thanks for hosting. I appreciate it.
04:50Would you believe that wasn't my first cabal? I put a little, uh, coffee and pastry thing together
04:57a couple of weeks ago for a group who believed the moon landing was real. Just wasn't our moon.
05:03What are you doing? What is this? Dress books? I still know a few guys that know a few guys.
05:08None of them traffic and murder, but you never know. Maybe somebody heard something once about
05:13that restaurant hit. Maybe they know how it connects to your girlfriend's daddy. She's not my...
05:21I know you think I should just accept his offer. Get my record expunged and be done with him. I
05:26know that.
05:27Look, I wanted to promise you, I get sent back to Appalachee, I will do my absolute best to not
05:32get
05:32murdered there. There ain't a snowball's chance you get murdered there. Because you go back,
05:38I go back. I'll punch Victor Ochoa in his big dumb face or something. I'll make sure I'm around to
05:45watch you back again. Hey, you never, uh, told us where you're not a girlfriend stashed the SD card.
05:53You need help getting it. Actually, it's something I gotta do on my own.
06:04Hey. How's the return trip to the murder of Peter Bellwether going? Poorly. I mean,
06:09he was by all accounts well-liked. But? He was a finance guy. He could have been in bed with
06:15anyone.
06:15A cartel, an oligarch. A certain Florida state senator? If he was working with Victor Ochoa so far,
06:21I'm not seeing it. How's it going at the station? Got a little sidetracked, uh, but I'll be there soon.
06:27I'll let you know if I find anything. Okay.
06:37That sucks. Detective Malabreu. I was just driving by when I thought I saw a guy messing with your car.
06:44He must have taken off running. Yeah, I guess so. Would you like to file a report?
06:48No, I'm okay. Evidence. I'll run some tests. You never know what might tie somebody to a crime.
06:59Have we met before? You look so familiar. Just have one of those faces. Yeah.
07:21Hey, how's it going? I'm about to have a conversation with one of your patrons.
07:27It's possible he might throw a few punches. This is for you to not call the cops until at least
07:33three
07:33of them land. Or two. You know, the good ones.
07:42Lucas. Hey.
07:48Emi sent me, okay? I need to get something from you. At first I thought it was time we talked.
08:01Emi wanted to come get the SD card, but I told her no, I had to do it.
08:06Because I told you an apology for a long time, Lucas. I was going through something two years ago.
08:14I had lost someone and my job. All the things I was seeing.
08:23Those are excuses. I'm not here for excuses. I'm here to tell you I'm sorry.
08:29And I'm sorry, Lucas.
08:33See, that's how messed up my family is. I mean, you kicked my ass.
08:38But only because I tried to rob you.
08:41Then I lied to the cops about what happened. Then I lied at court. But you, you're the one here
08:48to apologize.
08:49But here's the thing. I'm not sorry. What I saw in your eyes that night, you had to go away.
08:59You hadn't, you were going to kill somebody.
09:07Yeah, SD card, Lucas. I really need it.
09:14Before you ask, I never looked at what's on there.
09:18I didn't actually know how. All that ever mattered was it was leverage against my dad if me or Emi
09:22ever needed it.
09:25Hey, be careful, okay?
09:28You gotta be beating me up and everything, but I don't want you to, like, die.
09:35I appreciate that.
09:41You've been combing through these like it's the Supruder film.
09:44I don't know. All the pictures I took were after the murder.
09:48Maybe your dad just convinced himself I captured something.
09:50No, there has to be something.
09:53The other night, when I told you about Lucas and your camera,
09:57that it was one more thing I kept from you.
09:59I mean, you could have told him to go to hell, but you didn't.
10:06This thing I've been doing the last few months, um, ex-cons call it re-entry.
10:15A big part of it is forgiveness.
10:17Some of it's for yourself and some of it's for others.
10:23I look at you, I see you trying to change.
10:28I see you trying to live your life a different way.
10:33And I do. I think you're going through a re-entry, too.
10:44You know, it's funny.
10:47Before you and I met, I'd only ever heard your dad was corrupt.
10:50If this, all this, makes me think he might be connected to organized crime,
10:59tied to a gang, maybe even a cartel.
11:02It's not the first time it occurred to you, huh?
11:06And yet, after all the time I've been around him,
11:10I don't have a single thing we can bring to the police.
11:19It's going to be okay. It's all going to be okay.
11:26What?
11:29What are you doing?
11:31Just making sure Lucas didn't hit you.
11:34No. I told you, all we did was talk.
11:38Oh, yeah.
11:41Hey, Kath.
11:41Hey! I just got a call from me.
11:43Edith, across the street, she said there's something in our driveway,
11:46something that couldn't possibly be there,
11:48because if it were, my wife's head would surely explode.
11:50Uh, yeah. Sorry, Kath.
11:53Edith is right.
11:54When I heard Victor had someone burn his son's boat down,
11:57I didn't think it'd be wise to keep my trailer parked in a lot,
12:00owned and managed by a trauma development.
12:03Anyway, where are you? I saw your cars in here.
12:05I came to the station to go over the Peter Bellwether files with Mel.
12:08And?
12:09So far, nothing that connects to Victor.
12:10I did reach out to Peter's widower, a guy named Stephen Crane.
12:14I got to know him a little after Peter died.
12:15He sat down for a couple of interviews.
12:17He said he'd come and talk to me one more time.
12:19I'll let you know if the name Victor Ochoa means anything to him.
12:27You want new tires, Ray?
12:30Send me the bill.
12:31I can buy my own damn tires.
12:33I called you here because the one who did this is the same homicide detective
12:37whose house you had me break into.
12:38You were sloppy.
12:39That sketch, someone got a good look at you.
12:42That sketch had nothing to do with this.
12:47You think Emilia gave you up?
12:50My daughter would never turn against her family.
12:54You went too far.
12:56Sending me to Torch Lucas' boat was a mistake.
12:58You're the one who was sloppy.
12:59Ray.
13:00No.
13:00I've been taking care of things for you a long time now.
13:03It's time for you to take care of things.
13:06Get your damn house in order before it's too late.
13:14It's so good to see you, Steven.
13:16Thank you for coming in.
13:17Please.
13:18You were so kind to me after Peter died.
13:20He wrote such wonderful things about him.
13:22It really meant a lot.
13:25Um, but I'm a little confused.
13:27If you're working on some sort of follow-up,
13:30why are we meeting here instead of at the Herald?
13:32There's been a new development in Peter's case,
13:35or at least the possibility of one.
13:37Oh?
13:37I'll get right to the point, Mr. Crane.
13:39Does the name Victor Ochoa mean anything to you?
13:42As in, as in the politician?
13:45We're just trying to figure out if Peter ever did any business with him.
13:48I, I'm not sure.
13:51I, I, I don't think so.
13:53Are you sure Peter never crossed paths with Victor Ochoa in any capacity?
13:58Professional, social?
14:00I'm sorry.
14:00I'm suddenly not feeling well.
14:03Um, could we, could we finish this at another time?
14:06Steven, wait, wait.
14:07Do you remember the story you told me about the panhandler on Broward Boulevard?
14:11The man people drove past on their way to the beach,
14:14windows up ice ford like he wasn't even there?
14:16But Peter saw him, right?
14:18Pulled over one day and sat on the curb with him.
14:20Got him a job.
14:21You said that was who Peter was.
14:24Gentle, decent,
14:25incapable of letting anyone feel invisible.
14:31He deserved better than what happened to him.
14:35You're right.
14:38He did deserve better.
14:42I'll tell you what happened.
14:48Oh, hey, if Edith called with another update, it's true.
14:51I did go inside the house, but only to look for food.
14:54How'd it go with Peter's widower?
14:55He gave us a name.
14:57His own.
14:58I'm sorry, what?
14:59A few years ago, he had a knee replacement, got hooked on opioids.
15:03When the prescriptions ran out, he started buying from dealers.
15:06They turned him on to heroin.
15:08Peter found out and gave him a choice, get clean or get out.
15:11I'm guessing they had a brain up.
15:13Steven would have been left with nothing,
15:14so he paid their pool guy 10 grand to shoot
15:17Peter in his favorite restaurant.
15:19Steven's sober now, and the guilt over what he'd done
15:21was killing him.
15:22So when he saw a chance to make things right today...
15:24Yeah, he took it.
15:25Peter Bellwether's murder is finally solved.
15:28Except it has nothing to do with Victor Ochoa.
15:40Coming in.
15:41Put your pants on.
15:45I make my mom's paella, and you don't come in too much?
15:48Sophia's worried about you.
15:51Yeah, I don't know.
15:52I've just, I've been through everything.
15:55The scene inside the restaurant where Peter Bellwether was killed,
15:58the scene outside the restaurant,
15:59even the frickin' baby hippo with the zoo, and...
16:03I thought for sure I'd find a link to Victor, but...
16:06I'm not seeing it.
16:07Either he was wrong about what I captured on my camera,
16:09or I'm wrong now.
16:11Unless I figure out some kind of connection,
16:12this only ends one way.
16:14Me going back to Appalachia, and maybe for good this time.
16:18And I've dragged everyone I care about into Victor Ochoa's crosshairs
16:21for no reason.
16:22Aye, RJ.
16:26You are such an idiot.
16:29My dad used to say,
16:32careful who you let get close.
16:34Choose wisely.
16:36I never would have chosen you, but you wormed your way in anyway.
16:40And that makes it not just your fight anymore.
16:44Kath, Wish, Emmy Ochoa, me, we're all in it.
16:49Something in here got you sent to prison,
16:51and my money says you'll find it,
16:52because it turns out you're...
16:56a pretty good investigator.
17:00Actually, I take that back.
17:01Not the part about you being good.
17:04The part about you finding how these pictures connect to Victor Ochoa.
17:07You would have had to know what to look for.
17:10What do you mean?
17:10That?
17:12Right there?
17:13That's Ray Mergado's car.
17:14Are you sure?
17:15I should be.
17:16I stuck a knife in those tires this morning.
17:21But Ray didn't kill Peter Bellwether.
17:23So why would Victor be so worried about us being able to put him there?
17:27Maybe that murder isn't the only crime that went down that night.
17:36Let me guess.
17:38You got the guy who slashed my tires.
17:40Oh, no, I'm sorry, Mr. Mercado.
17:42That crime remains a mystery.
17:44Unlike the one we asked you here to talk about.
17:47That's your car.
17:48Yeah?
17:49I'll save you the trouble.
17:50It's definitely your car.
17:51This picture was taken on the evening of March 4th, 2024, by Mr. Decker here.
17:56Pretty unremarkable photo, isn't it?
17:58And yet a great deal of effort was made to make sure it never came to light.
18:02And we think we know why.
18:03Mr. Decker was in the area that night because of a murder in a restaurant.
18:06But you were there because of a death in a building across the street.
18:11One that didn't come to light until two days later.
18:14Jessica Laurent.
18:16Do you recognize her?
18:18She was supposed to get married that April.
18:20When she didn't show up for work on March 6th,
18:22her fiancé went to her apartment and found her hanging from a rafter.
18:26Yeah, the MA ruled it a suicide.
18:28But we think you got her wrong.
18:31You strangled her.
18:32And you made it look like a suicide.
18:34Why would I do that?
18:35Same reason you'd do anything, Ray.
18:38Victor Ochoa told you to.
18:40Jessica Laurent was an architect.
18:41A damn good one.
18:43Very in demand.
18:44A source tells us that your boss, Victor,
18:46he'd been chasing her for years to do a job with Ochoa development.
18:49She kept saying no.
18:51Yeah, Victor doesn't like hearing the word no, does he?
18:53A source.
18:55We don't have enough to charge you.
18:56Not yet.
18:57But we're getting close.
18:59This is your window, Ray.
19:01Give us Victor now, or there isn't going to be a lifeboat left when you need one.
19:06Are we done here?
19:11Yeah.
19:14Do me a favor.
19:16Say hi to Amelia for me.
19:25What do you think?
19:26Any chance Ray takes matters into his own hands, goes to say hi to Emmy himself?
19:30Well, she would say no, but you're assuming Victor wouldn't just order him to do it.
19:34Meanwhile, I got my best guy keeping an eye on Ray, just in case.
19:37Your best guy wouldn't happen to look like Shaggy from Scooby Doo, would he?
19:40You're saying that like Shaggy didn't solve like a bunch of mysteries.
19:52Going for a ride.
19:56Really should have peed first.
20:03Emmy, do you honestly believe your father had Jessica Laurent killed?
20:07You've met Ray Mercado once or twice?
20:09Uh, yeah.
20:10Yeah, your dad's friend.
20:11More like his fixer.
20:13The police think he killed Jessica, but taking a hard look at him.
20:17Any luck, he'll confess, flip on my father.
20:21I'm here in case he doesn't.
20:24Before Jessica died, you were commissioning more work from her than anyone else in town.
20:29Did she ever talk to you about my father?
20:31Listen, Emmy, there are very few people that scare me.
20:36Your father does.
20:39I understand, Bruce.
20:43I really do.
20:47Hey, listen.
20:48If you think it'll help, I can give you some names.
20:51Jessica's friends.
20:52You can talk to all of them.
20:53But just please promise me that you will be careful.
21:01Everyone I talked to about Jessica Laurent believed that she killed herself.
21:06Really?
21:06No one had questions?
21:07No one.
21:08And yet, I know my father was trying hard to recruit her around that time.
21:14Suspicious, but it isn't proof of anything.
21:17Well, Ray's not rated albums either.
21:19Not yet, anyway.
21:22What?
21:24It's just been crazy the last couple of days.
21:29We haven't had a chance to talk about us about what happened the other night.
21:38No.
21:40No, we have not.
21:43This thing that we do, whatever it is we are to each other, I've been trying to figure it out.
21:52Can't just be hookups in places that have wheels on them, can it?
22:02Hey, what's going on?
22:04I'm still at Ray's shop, but just, something feels off.
22:09What do you mean?
22:10I see smoke.
22:12I mean, it could be from an engine, could be he's out there burning files or evidence or something.
22:19I thought maybe I'd, you know.
22:20No, no, no, no, stay in the car.
22:23Are you sure?
22:25Gary, I don't want you getting yourself in any trouble, okay?
22:28All right.
22:29Whoa, whoa, hold on, hold on.
22:33Looks like we got a visitor.
22:35What do you mean?
22:36I mean, somebody's headed up to the shop.
22:39Just stay put, all right?
22:50Door's open, man.
22:51Don't quite have an angle on it.
22:58Don't quite have an angle on it.
22:58Wish, what the hell was that?
22:59Call 911.
23:00Do it now.
23:12Oh, come on.
23:13Stay with me, big guy.
23:14Hey, hey.
23:16Hey, come on, talk to me.
23:17Who did this?
23:18Was it Victor Ochoa?
23:19Huh?
23:35You all right?
23:37Sorry, it's just, I knew Ray my whole life.
23:41He was a good guy once upon a time.
23:45I mean, I can count the people my father trusts on one hand.
23:48For him to do this, Ray must have been closer to talking about Jessica Laurent's murder than we thought.
23:53I don't know.
23:55The name of your dad's is getting paranoid.
23:56Ray didn't have much to say at the end.
23:58What do you mean?
23:59Wish I asked him who did it.
24:00All he said was peppermint, stick, thumb.
24:06Does that mean something to you?
24:08I think I know what he was trying to say.
24:11He just died before he could say the last word.
24:13Drive.
24:14Peppermint, stick, thumb, drive.
24:16My father has a safe at home where he keeps important documents.
24:18I've seen the thumb drive Ray was talking about in there.
24:21It's striped like a candy cane.
24:23Do you know what was on it?
24:24No, I've never seen it outside of the safe, but I'm betting whatever it is,
24:28it ties my father to what happened to Jessica Laurent.
24:30Do you think you can get inside the safe?
24:32The safe?
24:33No problem.
24:34The house?
24:35My father's security won't let me within 100 feet of it right now.
24:39But that might be okay.
24:42I may only need to get within 101.
24:48Sir, there's something going on in front of the house.
25:01She got here just a few minutes ago.
25:03She's saying she won't move until you two have talked.
25:07Okay.
25:10I assume you're here to talk about what happened to Ray.
25:13I'm pretty sure you mean what you had done to Ray.
25:15Ray was a familia.
25:17I loved him.
25:18I would have never hurt him.
25:19Yourself?
25:19No.
25:20If I had to guess, it was one of them.
25:22Or I don't know.
25:23A friend suggested the other day you may have ties to organized crime.
25:27Maybe you borrowed a Sicario from some nice cartel.
25:30Amelia, please, let's take this inside.
25:32I'm not going anywhere with you.
25:33You want to talk?
25:34We'll do it right here.
25:44How's it going out there?
25:46Good.
25:47Two of the three security guards that Emmy told us about are taking in the show.
25:50Okay.
25:50Let me know if that changes.
25:52Why would I hurt Ray?
25:54Because two years ago, he killed Jessica Laurent for you.
25:57No, that's not true.
25:59The pictures RJ took that night, the ones I told you I destroyed, I didn't...
26:04One of them shows Ray's car parked across from her building.
26:21I appreciate you doing this now.
26:24What?
26:25Being an accessory to whatever this is.
26:28I know you don't like Emmy all that much.
26:31She's grown on me.
26:34Okay.
26:43Uh-oh.
26:44Uh-oh?
26:44What's uh-oh?
26:45The code Emmy gave me for the safe.
26:47Uh, she said it was her birthday, but it's not working.
26:49Her dad must have changed the code.
26:51Miha, think.
26:53Am I a stupid man?
26:54What could I possibly gain from Jessica Laurent's death?
26:57What did you gain by torching Lucas' boat?
27:02You're a bully.
27:04Bullies don't need agendas.
27:05They need targets.
27:07They need to hurt people so they can feel big.
27:15Yeah, that's three attempts.
27:16According to the internet, this model of safe, after a fourth failed attempt, you're locked out for an hour.
27:21I don't think this argument's gonna last that long.
27:25Uh, hang on.
27:26I have an idea.
27:29I've made mistakes.
27:31Terrible mistakes.
27:33But killing Ray is not one of them.
27:35I'm begging you, believe me.
27:39Come back to me.
27:41Together, I promise, we can fix all of this.
27:44I-I can't come back.
27:47It's too late.
27:48You and your friend, you want me out of office.
27:53Maybe even in prison.
27:54But it would be a mistake, because you're right.
27:58I do have dangerous friends.
28:00More than you can even understand.
28:02But I maintain those relationships for the good of the city.
28:06For the good of the state.
28:07I do what I have to do to keep the peace.
28:11To save lives.
28:15080758.
28:16What's that?
28:17Just try it.
28:19080758.
28:25Oh my god.
28:27It works.
28:31He changed the code from Demi's birthday to his home.
28:33The nice thing about malignant narcissists.
28:35Your self-obsession can make them predictable.
28:38You stay this course, I won't try to stop you.
28:43But there may come a time when I can no longer protect you.
28:51These past few years, are you hiding things from me?
28:54Asking me to perjure myself?
28:56To send a good man to prison?
28:58If that was you protecting me?
29:01I wish you hadn't.
29:13Hey, we have the thumb drive.
29:14We're headed to you.
29:15Turn around.
29:15Go someplace else.
29:17Why?
29:18What's going on?
29:18A couple of cops were just here looking for you.
29:21What?
29:21Seems old Victor finally made good on his threat.
29:24You knew CRO?
29:25He had you violated.
29:26There's a warrant out for your arrest.
29:44Hey.
29:45Hey.
29:46Just, uh, checking in on you, old buddy.
29:50Yeah, I'm good.
29:51Thanks.
29:52I am, as you know, a law-abiding citizen now.
29:57Have been and tend to be.
30:00But like I told you the other day, I know people that know people.
30:03One of them might be able to help you go someplace else.
30:06Get a fresh start.
30:08Which, are you asking me if I want to go on the run?
30:10I'll answer that question with another question.
30:12How many times you want to go to prison for something you didn't do?
30:21I just sent you a number.
30:23You need it.
30:24You call it.
30:26Okay?
30:26Yeah, I got it.
30:27Okay.
30:28Thanks.
30:43Yeah, hi.
30:44Uh, I'm calling because I need your help.
30:52Hey.
30:52I was starting to worry you weren't going to show.
30:56Did you get it?
31:03So?
31:06So, it's strange.
31:08Good strange or bad strange?
31:09Every single file here is the work of Jessica Lorentz.
31:13Blueprints, floor plans, elevations, all from the same building downtown, Seabright Tower.
31:18Yeah?
31:18She designed the place a few years ago.
31:20Oh, but I'm confused.
31:21I thought you said she didn't do any work with Otoe Development.
31:23She didn't.
31:24Seabright Tower is one of Bruce's buildings.
31:26He's the guy I went to see the other day, the investor.
31:28He worked with Jessica all the time.
31:30But if Seabright Tower isn't one of your dad's projects, why the hell is this thumb drive in his safe?
31:35It had to have come from Ray.
31:37He must have taken it the night and killed her.
31:40If he didn't, he wouldn't have known to tell Wish about it.
31:43Ray didn't have access to the safe.
31:44Right, so what?
31:45Two years ago, your dad sent Ray to steal it?
31:47Maybe there was some design element he was trying to rip off.
31:52But I don't know, for someone like Jessica Lorentz, Seabright Tower was borderline mundane.
31:58High-end, luxurious, but more substance than style.
32:02So, in other words, after all that work this morning, the only thing we might be able to hang on
32:06your dad is intellectual property theft.
32:08It's okay.
32:10We'll figure it out.
32:13Yeah, we sort of need to figure it out by 5 p.m.
32:16That's what I'm doing to turn myself into the police.
32:19What?
32:20Yeah, your dad.
32:21He did what he said he was going to do.
32:23He got me violated.
32:26Rick, it's okay.
32:28I-I called Mel a little while ago.
32:30I...
32:31She's going to make me a five-hour surrender myself.
32:34Any luck, she and my attorney will straighten out this little misunderstanding with the CRO.
32:38It could be up by morning.
32:39RJ, you know my father isn't going to let that happen.
32:49What?
32:50What is it?
32:51I-I don't know.
32:51It's this file.
32:53I mean, if this is what I think it is, your dad might not have been the one who want
32:56Jessica
32:56Lorentz dead after all.
32:59That's okay.
33:00It's maybe even good, because if I'm right, the person who did can give us your dad on a platter.
33:10Mr. Vincor, believe you know Emmy Ochoa?
33:14Uh, I do.
33:16Just spoke yesterday, as a matter of fact.
33:18I assume you're here for the same reason I am?
33:21Background on Jessica?
33:22Oh, Miss Ochoa has already done her part.
33:24She's been very helpful, but we still have some questions.
33:27As I believe you know, we've been circling the possibility that
33:29Jessica was killed by a man named Ray Medagano.
33:33That's his car parked across from her apartment the night she died.
33:38Very troubling.
33:40You mean seeing his car there, or seeing yours?
33:43Made us wonder, did Ray kill Jessica?
33:46Or did he just handle the cleanup?
33:49Uh, I-I don't understand.
33:51What are you suggesting?
33:52I-I would never.
33:55If she and I worked together, that's why I would have been there that night.
33:58I told Detective Abreu that Jessica designed Seabright Tower for you.
34:02And I explained how things work in our business.
34:05Sprinting to put up one building so it can pay for the next.
34:08The Seabright Tower was leveraged to the hilt.
34:10It had to be on time.
34:12Financing these things, it can be risky.
34:15The structural integrity of your buildings can't be.
34:18You've seen this before, yes?
34:21Yeah.
34:22I think you've seen this too.
34:27Jessica created the day she died.
34:29Mr. Cho explained it's a standard stress test.
34:32Shows how a building will stand up to wind shear.
34:34Jessica discovered a fatal flaw in the Seabright Tower site plan.
34:38Those two neighboring buildings create a wind tunnel
34:41that can amplify tropical storm force gusts.
34:44She showed it to you.
34:46Told you to slam on the brakes, only you couldn't.
34:48It would have cost you tens, maybe hundreds of millions of dollars.
34:51At first we thought maybe you hired Ray to kill her.
34:54Then we saw your car.
34:55Made us wonder, why would you go there with him?
34:57Unless you didn't. You were there first.
35:00You killed Jessica.
35:01And then in a panic, you called the most corrupt,
35:04most connected person you knew for help.
35:06My father. He sent Ray.
35:08Ray made it look like Jessica killed herself.
35:11No. No.
35:13These models are theoretical.
35:16Storm simulations, overstate risk, all the...
35:18I'm not here to talk about engineering.
35:19I'm not even here to book you for Jessica Lorenz's murder.
35:22Not enough proof. Ray's murder, on the other hand.
35:24When I came to see you, I told you the police were leaning on him.
35:29I assume that's why you killed him?
35:31To make sure he couldn't tell them about you?
35:33These shell casings? They're registered to a gun we know you own.
35:38And this blood? You cut yourself on a fence as you fled.
35:42Without Ray around to clean up after you, I gotta say,
35:44you're not very good at murder.
35:46Tell me something.
35:48Why do you suppose my father held on to that thumb drive?
35:53Blackmail material.
35:56In case he needed to leverage me.
35:58You're the one with the leverage now.
36:00Tell the truth about the role he played.
36:02Give the DA a reason to not pursue the death penalty.
36:10It happened, just like you said.
36:14Every bit of it.
36:18I'll tell you everything.
36:19I like him.
36:28I can't.
36:37I know, man.
36:40I can't.
36:56it's funny you think you won but my attorneys have already assured me that the state's case
37:03against me is a joke i'll make bail in a matter of hours and then if the district attorney
37:10an old friend actually decides he wants to prosecute me it'll come down to my word against
37:17bruce vinkers you're right i didn't win the war just the battle but heck of a battle am i right
37:26i mean before today you were untouchable now now you're gonna be under a microscope the size of
37:33seabright tower you remember seabright tower big building home to almost 200 people but you were
