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

44:47ain't what it should be,
