00:00The following program contains mature subject matter. Viewer discretion is advised.
00:05Previously on Wild Cards.
00:07Hi.
00:07Name.
00:08Max Mitchell.
00:08We used to work with them, but for some reason got transferred to Sea Patrol.
00:11You're going to stay on the case.
00:12Thank you, ma'am.
00:13Both of you.
00:14What?
00:14Ma'am, you can't be serious. She's a con artist.
00:16I know who killed your brother.
00:18You know she's working really hard to get you out of here early.
00:21Sweet, sweet freedom.
00:22I managed to get Jonathan Ashford's video diary to tell you everything you need to know.
00:26You must be willing to walk away from anyone at the drop of a hat.
00:30If you cannot, that's your warning sign to cut them loose.
00:33Something definitely happens, but I don't want it to be weird between us.
00:37Friends?
00:38Friends.
00:39I know where the mole in the department is.
00:41Commissioner, you're under arrest.
00:43Take her away.
00:44Guys!
00:45The brass is putting you on leave.
00:47No, I'm good.
00:47What are you going to do?
00:48Finally take that trip, Daniel fucked about.
00:50That's awesome.
00:51You know, Mark?
00:52And you, if you want to come.
00:53Yeah.
00:54I just got to see about something first.
00:57Oh, you guys are geniuses.
00:59To access the account, there are 12 passwords.
01:02Ricky, try George.
01:05It's 103 million!
01:09Was I crazy to think she was going to show?
01:11Go, honey, go to him.
01:12I'll be fine.
01:16Mom?
01:37Mickey, take the new haircuts.
01:41Petrovitz, have you been here in the gym?
01:43You're looking buff.
01:45Carver, how's the bunions feeling?
01:49Whoa, miss.
01:50Where do you think you're going?
01:51Oh.
01:52Hold on.
01:55That's a toy.
01:56Excuse me?
01:57Joey, Max is a police consultant.
02:00Sorry, Max.
02:01He's new.
02:02Don't worry, Joey.
02:03I was new once, too.
02:06So, where's the action?
02:07It's right up here.
02:08I'll walk you over.
02:09Who are you working with today?
02:10I don't know.
02:11But between you and I, I hope not Yates.
02:13I thought you liked Yates.
02:14I love her.
02:15She's moving back.
02:16But lately, she's been a little bit.
02:17Oh, come on!
02:18Scary.
02:19Morning, Yates.
02:21Is it morning?
02:22I can't even tell anymore.
02:23I just left Simmons at another crime scene to come to this one.
02:26That's our 10th open case.
02:27This one's our 11th.
02:28Look, I know we've been understaffed since Ellis left,
02:31but maybe today things will turn around.
02:33Are you telling me to turn that frown upside down,
02:35in a manner of speaking?
02:36That's good advice.
02:37Do you want to hear some advice?
02:38Here we go.
02:39People, I'm officially declaring this no-murder month, okay?
02:42From this day forth, should a citizen of our city murder another,
02:47so help me, goddess, I will kill you myself.
02:53What do we got?
02:54Murder.
02:55I'm going to need this.
03:14What's the story, Olive?
03:15We just got here, but here's what we know.
03:17John Doe, no ID, no wallet.
03:19Early 20s, gunshot to the chest.
03:22We found a .32 caliber bullet.
03:23Went right through him.
03:24Okay, so no leads, nothing to go on?
03:26Not at the moment.
03:27Great!
03:28Another winner.
03:29Call me when you have something.
03:30We got something.
03:32See that blue line right there on his shirt?
03:33It's chalk.
03:35Is he saying he's a school teacher?
03:37No.
03:38Look at his fingers.
03:40I noticed those, but I don't know what they're from yet.
03:43It's from playing pool.
03:44Moving the cue back and forth on the skin.
03:46You got to play four to six hours a day to develop calluses like that.
03:49Trust me, I used to play a lot of pool growing up.
03:51Canvas every pool hall in a five-mile radius.
03:54I guarantee you someone's going to recognize him.
03:56Hop to it, Sparky.
03:57You heard the lady?
03:58Nice work, Mitchell.
03:59Can I have my coffee back?
04:00No.
04:12All right, and you're sure about that?
04:15Okay, I'm going to send an officer to your way to take your statement.
04:17Thank you very much.
04:18All right.
04:20Got an eyewitness in our carjacking case that's willing to testify, so...
04:24Case number 10, closed.
04:26Oh, great.
04:27Because we just picked up another one.
04:29You're kidding.
04:30Even I'm not that funny.
04:31Max, chief wants to see him.
04:34Thanks, Tony.
04:38Ah!
04:39Mine.
04:40That's the office coffee machine.
04:41You need to put it back in the kitchen.
04:43Never.
04:44Chief, you wanted to see me?
04:48Hey, Max.
04:49You miss me?
04:51You miss me?
05:02Hey.
05:03Hi.
05:05You're back.
05:06I'm back.
05:09Now that the internal investigation into the Russo affair is done,
05:12Ellis has been cleared of any wrongdoing,
05:13and his reinstatement has been approved.
05:15That's great.
05:16Yeah, and I was just telling Ellis that we're pretty backed up here,
05:18so I'd like him to start right away.
05:20Well, that's good, because Yates has been very overwhelmed with the caseload.
05:24Right.
05:24And since Max has stayed on as a consultant,
05:26I assumed you two would partner up again.
05:30Uh, that...
05:31works for me?
05:33Of course.
05:34Great.
05:36Your badge, detective?
05:38Collect your service weapon from the armory.
05:41Good to have you back.
05:42It's good to be back, sir.
05:45Oh, and, uh...
05:46dig in that new haircut, sir.
05:48We think he lost a bet.
05:51Not that I don't like it.
05:52Because I love it.
05:53Your old silky mane made you look soft.
05:55Now you look like a bullet.
05:58Deadly and mean.
05:59Get out of my office.
06:01Gone like the wind.
06:02Mackie, come on.
06:10Hey, I know that...
06:12Look, can I just say something first?
06:14Please?
06:16Sure.
06:17Look, I am sorry I sprung that whole...
06:21come away with me thing onto you.
06:23It was wrong with me to do that.
06:25It was just after years of trying to find Daniel's killer,
06:27once I finally did, it was like...
06:30I was lost.
06:32And I was reaching out for something to hold onto,
06:34and...
06:35and I was wrong.
06:37And I see that now, and...
06:40I'm really sorry.
06:42And you do not owe me any kind of explanation
06:44for why you didn't show up at the dock, okay?
06:45I mean that.
06:47It's really sweet of you not to mention anything in front of Lee,
06:49but if you do not want to work together,
06:52I totally understand that.
06:53Just give me the word, and I'll make it happen.
06:57Thank you for all of that.
07:00But it's all good.
07:02We can move on.
07:04Onward, upward, moving on up.
07:07Okay, great.
07:09It's, uh...
07:10It's really good to see you.
07:14So, where have you been this last month?
07:18I took the boat down to Mexico.
07:19I was gonna travel around a little bit,
07:21but I ended up just settling down in this little surfing town.
07:23What'd you do there?
07:24I ate, drank, surfed, bummed around a little bit.
07:29It's hard for me to imagine you bumming around.
07:32Yeah, it was for me, too.
07:33Trust me.
07:33But, uh, no, I needed to clear my head.
07:35Honestly, I was trying to figure out how to just be myself again, you know?
07:39Well, you do seem a little bit more chill.
07:41And as long as I don't see you wearing a puka shell necklace
07:44or asking you to play hacky sack,
07:45we'll be okay.
07:46Because those are deal breakers.
07:48Yeah, I think I can manage that.
07:50Honestly, I was surprised to see you still working here,
07:52because, I don't know, I kind of had this funny feeling
07:55you were going to skip town that night, so...
07:56Good for you.
07:57You, uh, proved me wrong.
07:58Well, since my dad got out of the joint,
08:00he needs to see his parole officer every week.
08:03We can't leave.
08:04I needed a legit job.
08:06They offered, and...
08:09voila!
08:11Detective Mitchell.
08:13Kept the badge.
08:15Yeah.
08:16It was my one non-negotiable.
08:25Well, I'm glad you made the choice to stay
08:26instead of going back to a life of crime.
08:29You are done with all the crime, right?
08:32Oh, yeah.
08:33All that's behind me.
08:34Dust in the rearview mirror.
08:35Second.
08:35So, anything else going on?
08:37Nothing new in the exciting life of Max Mitchell.
08:42Um...
08:46Mom?
08:48Hi, Peanut.
08:53It's me.
08:57Oh.
09:00Oh, God.
09:06Mom?
09:09Vivian?
09:22Nope.
09:24Nothing new.
09:24Just, uh, same old, same old.
09:29Chief Lee, he wants us in the observation room.
09:31Looks like somebody IDs your Vic from this morning.
09:36Max, you were right.
09:38That's Monty.
09:39He owns a Third Street billiards room.
09:41Yeah, that's him.
09:41Tommy Z.
09:42That's what everybody called him.
09:44How'd you know him?
09:45He started coming around my place with his friends
09:47when he was around...
09:49I don't know, 16.
09:50Troublemakers.
09:51I got a lot of kids like that.
09:53Skipping school and playing pool.
09:55This kid was different.
09:56He was the most gifted player I have ever seen.
09:59Within a year, he was beating the pros.
10:00He could have been one of the all-time greats.
10:03When's the last time that you saw him?
10:05Last night.
10:06He came in, played a few games, and then left.
10:08Nothing out of the ordinary.
10:09Do you think of anybody who might want to mess with him?
10:11No, not this kid.
10:13He lit up every room he walked into.
10:15You couldn't help but like him.
10:17He was a good kid.
10:18Seems as though Tommy was a rising star in the tournament circuit
10:22until about a year ago when he stopped competing professionally.
10:25So why did he stop?
10:26I don't know.
10:33What was Tommy doing for a living?
10:36I don't know.
10:37I mean, this and that.
10:40You know, odd jobs.
10:42Tommy was a pool hustler.
10:43How do you know that?
10:44Well, he won every professional tournament he was in,
10:47and then he suddenly stopped.
10:48The only reason someone that good stops competing
10:50is because they don't want to get recognized in pool halls.
10:52There's a lot more money to be made traveling across the country,
10:55fleecing players, and in sanctioned contests.
10:57Why didn't Monty tell us that?
10:59Because he doesn't want cops coming around his place.
11:00Owners usually take 15% of the action.
11:03So Tommy left the pool hall around 2 a.m.
11:05and was killed around 2.30 a.m.
11:07If it wasn't a random mugging,
11:08maybe someone followed him on the side of the bar.
11:10Unis took statements down the pool hall.
11:12Nobody mentioned anything suspicious.
11:14That's not surprising.
11:15They are gambling illegally.
11:17Well, if we go in there flashing badges,
11:18even bedazzled ones,
11:20we'll get a whole lot of nothing.
11:22That's what I wish you.
11:22Good luck with that new guy.
11:24Because Simmons and I are not taking on another case.
11:27Vomino, Simmons.
11:29That was Spanish.
11:30She wants enchiladas.
11:32Did she just call me the new guy?
11:34Okay, you two.
11:34Come up with a plan.
11:38Don't I always?
11:51Hey, everyone.
11:53We heard this is where the action is.
11:55Who wants to shoot some pool?
12:09Well, I was hoping for a little more fanfare than that.
12:15Hey, uh,
12:16who do you got to know around here
12:17to get in on one of the pool tables?
12:19It'll be a while.
12:21Why, did somebody die?
12:24As a matter of fact, yes.
12:27Oh, my bad.
12:29He was murdered.
12:30Who was he?
12:31Tommy Z.
12:32Best pool player in town.
12:34At least he used to be.
12:35Did you know him?
12:37Everybody knew Tommy.
12:39Everybody liked him.
12:41Why is it always a good one, Zip?
12:43Do you need a straw?
12:44Because you're crying into your drink.
12:51Everyone loved Tommy, right?
12:53I mean, the kid was overflowing with charm.
12:57And he wasn't only my friend.
12:59He was the best player I have ever seen.
13:02Maybe,
13:04maybe the only guy who could have beaten me in my prime.
13:09To Tommy.
13:10Tommy.
13:11Yeah.
13:15We're gonna wrap this up.
13:17I got a game waiting.
13:19Hey, kid.
13:20A little respect.
13:24Ignore him.
13:25No class.
13:27Thanks, Al.
13:29Guess not everybody loved Tommy.
13:31I'll start working the tables,
13:33flash some cash around.
13:34Once these locals sense an easy mark,
13:37their lips will start laughing.
13:38Talk to that lady at the bar.
13:40She seems like a regular,
13:41and there's a little more she wants to say.
13:43Go get her, Tiger.
13:49Damn it, kid.
13:52It's not fair.
13:54I'm sorry, Tom.
13:56Give anything to see you walk through that door again.
13:59Mom, where have you been for the past 15 years?
14:04Do you remember Monaco?
14:06Hard to forget.
14:07Last time I saw you.
14:08And that casino con I wanted to pull?
14:10The one I told you was too dangerous and out of our league?
14:12Well, that was just the point.
14:14I wanted us to set our sights higher,
14:15reach for that brass ring.
14:17You did it anyway.
14:18Must be something in the jeans.
14:20Turns out you were right, dear.
14:22I got caught.
14:23So you've been in prison all these years?
14:27No.
14:28That would have been much easier.
14:30And safer.
14:31No, I have been on the run from Gideon Varga.
14:37No, Viv.
14:39Who's Gideon Varga?
14:41No one really knows,
14:42because nobody's ever seen his face.
14:44He has his hands in everything.
14:45Extortion, drugs, smuggling, casinos.
14:48Turns out Varga was behind the casino I robbed.
14:53How have I never heard of this guy?
14:55Some say he doesn't exist.
14:56That he's a myth.
14:57That his real talent is to be invisible.
14:59That's how he stayed untouchable.
15:01Come on.
15:02These days, nobody's untouchable.
15:06Gideon Varga is.
15:08He's the devil himself.
15:14Hey.
15:16Hey.
15:17You said you were looking for a game?
15:19Rack him up, champ.
15:21When I was a little girl,
15:22Daddy would always bring my brothers to the local pool hall.
15:25When I asked to go, do you know what he would say?
15:27Girls can't play pool.
15:28Can you believe that?
15:29My God.
15:30That's terrible.
15:31So I gave up,
15:32but I never stopped dreaming of it.
15:34Then last month,
15:35my whole life flipped like a pancake.
15:38My filthy rich grandma died and left me everything.
15:40Of course, I did the decent thing
15:42and bought my daddy and my brothers
15:44a brand spanking new double wide.
15:46But I kept the rest of Granny's millions for myself.
15:48So now that I'm retired,
15:49I'm going to learn how to play some nine ball
15:52and get a private massage therapist
15:54and a personal chef.
15:57Oh, and a dog walker
15:58because rich folks
15:59don't need to be picking up anybody's doo-doo.
16:02Oh, speaking of that.
16:04Hey, Siri,
16:06remind me to get a dog.
16:10Wow.
16:11Well, I learned so much from you.
16:12I feel like I took advantage.
16:14We should have played for bigger bucks.
16:16Luckily,
16:17that's more where that came from.
16:19But first, I'm parched.
16:24Well, I certainly sold my trailer trash
16:27to Rich's story.
16:28Okay, did you learn anything interesting?
16:30Police.
16:31Does Netflix cancel every show I like?
16:33Is Oatmelt still disgusting?
16:34Hey, Max, just give me the rundown, please.
16:37Okay.
16:38That is Kelly,
16:40Tommy Z's grief-stricken girlfriend.
16:42And from what everybody says,
16:44she gladly would have taken a bullet for him.
16:46That there
16:47is Salvatore,
16:48Tommy's steak horse.
16:49So he finds all the matches
16:51and puts up the money for the bets.
16:52And pays all expenses
16:53for the three of them
16:54to travel the country hustling.
16:55Probably takes a nice chunk
16:56of their winnings, too.
16:57If Tommy was his cash cow,
16:59he wouldn't want to kill him.
17:00No.
17:02But he might.
17:04That's Jose.
17:05I heard Salvatore originally
17:06staked him
17:07that Tommy came along at all.
17:08He's just too good, so.
17:11Jose got kicked to the curb.
17:12Well, I heard
17:13the night Tommy was killed,
17:14Tommy and Jose played pool
17:16until 2 a.m.
17:17Tommy won
17:18and then left with 50 grand.
17:20But when they found Tommy's body,
17:21the cash was gone.
17:23Maybe Jose's jealousy
17:24got the better of him.
17:25He kills Tommy,
17:26his known rival,
17:27and then he steals the 50K
17:28he felt was rightfully his.
17:29And now,
17:30Jose has Salvatore
17:31back as his steak horse.
17:33Seems like Tommy's death
17:35only benefits Jose.
17:36I think we just found
17:37your next game.
17:44Blow on it,
17:45Reggie honey,
17:46for good luck.
17:46Anything for you, sugar?
17:49Well, now I'm definitely
17:50going to win.
17:54You're up.
17:55Well, I don't know
17:55which one it hit first.
17:57They all look so cute.
18:00They're numbered.
18:01You're supposed to
18:03seek the new order.
18:07Damn, honey.
18:08I guess your
18:09blower's busted.
18:14So you knew that guy
18:15who got shot, right?
18:17Timmy something?
18:18Tommy.
18:19What about him?
18:20I heard you got
18:21beat by him bad last night.
18:24We're going to talk?
18:25We're going to play.
18:27Rumor has it
18:28you lost 50 grand.
18:30Ouch.
18:30And if I win,
18:31you're going to promise
18:32not to shoot me.
18:33What the hell
18:34are you talking about?
18:36Sure,
18:37I was pissed at Tommy.
18:38But the only thing
18:39I killed last night
18:40was a bottle of rye.
18:41Passed out,
18:42woke up on that table
18:43this morning.
18:44What say?
18:45Got a game over here.
18:47We're not done playing.
18:48Actually,
18:49we're done.
19:01I passed out.
19:02Not the most
19:03original alibi.
19:05No,
19:05but it should be
19:06easy enough to confirm.
19:12What the hell's that?
19:13Voodoo doll.
19:14Of who?
19:15Ellis.
19:16Why do you have
19:17a pencil voodoo doll
19:19of Ellis?
19:20To control him.
19:21Find me a licorice
19:22and a marshmallow.
19:23I need to make one of Max.
19:26What's going on?
19:27What are you doing?
19:28We've got to take them
19:28down a notch, okay?
19:30Why?
19:30Wake up, Simmons.
19:31When Ellis left,
19:32you and I,
19:33we became the number one team.
19:35The go-to guys.
19:36You know what I mean?
19:37Now that he's back,
19:38he could retake
19:39that number one spot.
19:39And I'm not
19:40going to let that happen.
19:42Okay?
19:42I've got to taste the gold
19:43and I want more.
19:44Okay.
19:45Um,
19:47what I think you need
19:49is a nice night's rest
19:51for us to close a case
19:54and you'll feel
19:55bright as rain.
19:56Huh?
19:57No voodoo?
19:58No voodoo.
19:59I'm just going to make him
19:59do the mock right now.
20:00Give me that.
20:01Come on.
20:03Fine.
20:07Hey, great.
20:08Yes?
20:11Do you have any more of these?
20:12No.
20:14Do you have one of me?
20:15No.
20:17I don't.
20:18Hand it over.
20:25What are you going to do with this?
20:26I talk to it sometimes
20:28when I'm lonely.
20:29Okay?
20:29There's a lot of hours
20:30between quitting time
20:31and clocking in.
20:34It's actually kind of sweet.
20:36It's weird and creepy.
20:41But it's sweet.
20:44Yeah.
20:46Just out of curiosity,
20:47do you ever wake up
20:48in the middle of the night
20:49doing the tango?
20:50Give me that.
20:50Give me that.
20:50Yeah.
20:51Okay.
20:56Yo, Bert!
20:58Hi, Bert.
20:59What's up?
20:59My blood pressure,
21:00cholesterol, and rent.
21:03Oh, you bastard!
21:04Kelly!
21:05Hey!
21:06Hey!
21:06Hey!
21:11Hold on a second.
21:12Is this your jacket or not?
21:13It's Tommy's.
21:14I took it last night.
21:15Jose West passed out
21:15using it as a blanket.
21:16I was keeping it safe for Tommy.
21:18What's the big deal?
21:19The big deal is that
21:20Tommy's dead.
21:22What?
21:23I had no idea.
21:24You killed Tommy
21:25and took it.
21:26No!
21:27No!
21:27No!
21:28Stop!
21:29Where?
21:31Here.
21:32Take it.
21:33Yeah, and try to do
21:34a nice thing, huh?
21:35Let me just get
21:36something from the pocket.
21:40How'd you get that?
21:42You bet big last night
21:43and lost.
21:43None of your business.
21:45Oh, yeah?
21:45Your two-year-old tab
21:46is my business.
21:53It's okay.
21:56Happy now?
21:57Paid in full.
21:58I guess hell
21:59has frozen over.
22:01Well, suddenly
22:01I'm not that thirsty anymore.
22:03Plenty of other
22:03establishments
22:04would appreciate
22:05our patrons
22:05such as myself.
22:12What's his deal?
22:14Bit of a loser,
22:14I'm afraid.
22:15Can never catch a break.
22:16He bet big for
22:17Jose to win last night.
22:20For a loser,
22:21that's some wad of cash
22:22he was flashing around.
22:23How does a broke gambler
22:24walk in here
22:25with a dead man's jacket
22:26and a pocket full of cash?
22:38What the hell?
22:39Take it easy, Bert.
22:41We just want to know
22:42about the coat.
22:42The coat?
22:43I gave it back.
22:44Who the hell are you anyways?
22:45The police.
22:46In between Tommy's coat
22:47and that wad of cash
22:48you were flashing around,
22:49you just became
22:50our number one suspect
22:50for this murder.
22:56Since when is it
22:57a crime to borrow a coat?
22:58When that coat
22:58is full of cash
22:59and belongs to a murdered man.
23:01I told everyone
23:02Jose was leaping it off
23:03he was using
23:04Tommy's coat as a blanket.
23:05I didn't want him
23:06to puke all over it.
23:07Oh, you're a prince.
23:08However, Tommy
23:09left Monty's pool hall
23:11with 50 grand in his pocket
23:12and took a bullet
23:13in the chest.
23:14When they found the body
23:15the money was gone.
23:16And today,
23:16you show up
23:17a newly rich man.
23:20I can't explain.
23:21Yeah, so can I.
23:21You got pissed off at Tommy,
23:23you followed him
23:23outside the bar
23:24and you shot him
23:24and then you stole his 50k.
23:26No, I didn't kill Tommy,
23:27I swear.
23:27Bert, you made a big bet
23:29last night
23:29and you lost.
23:30Just admit it.
23:31But that bet
23:32I placed on Jose,
23:33it wasn't my money.
23:35Really?
23:37It was Salvatore's money.
23:38He paid Bert
23:40to place the bet
23:41on Jose to win.
23:41Why would Salvatore
23:42bet against his own player?
23:43Because the game was fixed.
23:44Tommy was supposed
23:45to throw the match.
23:46Salvatore knew
23:47if he was seen
23:47betting against
23:48one of his own players.
23:49Everyone would know
23:50it was fixed.
23:51So he had Bert
23:52place the bet for him.
23:53What he didn't know
23:54is that Tommy placed a bet
23:56and he didn't throw the match.
23:57He won 50 grand.
23:59So Tommy screwed over Salvatore
24:00then the kid ends up
24:01shot and robbed.
24:03I don't need to
24:03connect the dots, do I?
24:05We did a little digging
24:06into Salvatore.
24:07Turns out he was a pretty
24:07great pool player himself
24:08back in the day.
24:10Hustled himself
24:11across the map.
24:12Yeah, and got the priors
24:13to prove it.
24:15Portland, Winnipeg,
24:16Rochester.
24:18An awful wagering,
24:19theft.
24:21Recurring assault charges.
24:23Not a guy you want
24:24to mess with.
24:25Got anything solid on him
24:26on this case?
24:26Not yet, but if we can
24:28find out why he betrayed him,
24:29then it should give us
24:30a clearer picture
24:30of what happened that night.
24:32Work fast
24:33before this guy
24:33hits the road again.
24:35I'm going to need a minute
24:36to process Bert's release,
24:37okay?
24:37I'll be right back.
24:38Okay.
24:45Hey, baby girl.
24:46I'm trying to reach you.
24:47Ricky's back from Zurich
24:48in the morning,
24:49so we got to make
24:49a decision now.
24:50Are we in or out?
24:53Gideon Varga
24:54is not the sort of man
24:55who forgives and forgets.
24:57But if you've never seen
24:58Varga, who caught you?
25:00Tomo Hayashi,
25:01Varga's right hand.
25:03While I was waiting for them
25:05to decide how to dispose of me,
25:07I managed to slip away
25:09and steal a car
25:11from a valet stand.
25:14You staged the car accident?
25:15I had to improvise.
25:17Tomo was right on my tail,
25:18so I leapt from the car
25:19before sending it
25:20over the cliff
25:21and into the sea.
25:23Rather operatic, I know,
25:24but I really had to sell it.
25:27And the money you stole?
25:29Unfortunately,
25:29it went down with the car.
25:31But Varga didn't believe
25:32you were really dead.
25:33Not without a body.
25:34I hoped he'd think
25:35I'd been swept out to sea,
25:36but every time I felt safe,
25:38I'd hear a report
25:39that Varga was still
25:40looking for me.
25:41Like I said,
25:42the guy really knows
25:43how to hold a grudge.
25:44But the only saving grace
25:46was that he thought
25:49that I was working alone.
25:50He didn't know my identity,
25:51nor did he know about
25:52you or your father.
25:53That's the secret
25:54that kept you both safe.
25:59So why did you come back?
26:01Over the years,
26:02I found moments
26:04to watch the two of you
26:05from afar,
26:06because I knew the risks
26:07of getting too close,
26:08but I just missed you
26:10both so terribly.
26:13Then you landed in prison,
26:15and it was impossible
26:16to keep eyes on you,
26:17and I just felt
26:20like I'd been cut off
26:22from my heartbeat.
26:29When I heard
26:30you were being released,
26:31I just...
26:34I just...
26:42what I didn't know
26:44was that Varga
26:45had uncovered
26:46one of my aliases,
26:47which tripped an alert
26:48at the border,
26:49and Tomohayashi
26:50caught up with me.
26:58with an ultimatum
26:59with an ultimatum
26:59from Varga.
27:01Repay every last cent
27:03I stole,
27:04or...
27:05Or he'll kill you?
27:06No.
27:07If it was just that,
27:08she wouldn't have come back.
27:11When Hayashi
27:12found me outside the prison,
27:15unfortunately,
27:16you were all exposed
27:19to all those years
27:20of being so careful,
27:22just gone in an instant.
27:25So if you
27:26don't pay Varga back...
27:30We're all dead.
27:32How much do you owe?
27:34Well, it's not a
27:35small amount of money,
27:37per se.
27:38How much, Vivian?
27:39A hundred million.
27:44It's not exactly
27:45chump change.
27:46Call me.
27:46There isn't much time left.
27:49Hey.
27:50You all right?
27:51Yeah.
27:52You ready to find out
27:53why Tommy screwed
27:54over Salvatore?
27:55Baby,
27:56I was born ready.
28:00Wow.
28:01You got more game
28:02than a truck stop arcade.
28:04You ever think about
28:04getting yourself
28:05a steak horse
28:05like Salvatore?
28:07Nah.
28:07Well, I hear he and Tommy
28:08had a pretty sweet deal
28:10going on.
28:10So we can turn
28:11sour off real quick.
28:12You're saying, uh,
28:13that their love boat
28:14started leaking?
28:16I heard them arguing
28:17outside in the alley.
28:18He was taking out the trash
28:19and the two of them
28:19were really going at it
28:21after the big game
28:21between Tommy and Jose.
28:24So, uh,
28:25what were they fighting about?
28:26I only caught bits and pieces
28:27so we can't be sure.
28:29But,
28:31lately,
28:32I've heard a rumor.
28:33I don't think it was about pool.
28:35I think it was a bigger problem.
28:36Like what?
28:37Like girl problems.
28:38You've heard
28:39two's company,
28:40three's a crowd?
28:41Traveling around together,
28:42two guys and one girl?
28:43Are you saying
28:44Kelly cheated on Tommy
28:45with Salvatore?
28:46Sal's got money.
28:47He's a charmer.
28:49Wouldn't doubt he snuck
28:50in a side pocket shot
28:51when the real player
28:52wasn't looking.
28:53Double or nothing?
28:54Maybe later.
28:59So,
29:00you heard the rumors too?
29:02Certainly explains
29:03why Tommy stuck it to him
29:04with his
29:05screw you win.
29:06He was punishing Salvatore
29:08for sleeping with his girlfriend.
29:09Nothing like a messy romance
29:10to foul up
29:11a good partnership.
29:16Speak of the devils.
29:18Love our spat.
29:19I don't know.
29:20Let's find out,
29:21shall we?
29:24I know,
29:25I know it hurts,
29:27honey.
29:28I was a wreck
29:29when my robber died.
29:31But,
29:32day after day,
29:33you just
29:33figure out
29:35how to survive.
29:36Thanks,
29:36Myrna.
29:37and Jin helps.
29:38Make it two this time.
29:40Make it three.
29:41I'm buying.
29:42Oh.
29:43You're lucky
29:44you have such amazing people
29:45to help you get through this,
29:46Kelly.
29:47Amen to that.
29:48Now,
29:49if you'll excuse me,
29:51Mama's got a tinkle.
29:53Oh!
29:53Oh!
29:54Oh,
29:54geez,
29:55Myrna,
29:55careful.
29:56Why do you have a gun?
29:59No, no, no,
30:00that's not mine.
30:01Wait a minute.
30:02Hold on a second.
30:07It's a 38 millimeter.
30:08Same caliber gun
30:09that killed Tommy.
30:12That's my gun,
30:13Kelly.
30:14How the hell
30:14did you get my gun
30:15out of my safe?
30:15I've never seen it before.
30:17I didn't do this.
30:18One of the rounds
30:18has been fired.
30:19You need to call the cops.
30:21No.
30:21No, no, no, no, no.
30:22We don't call the cops.
30:22This is your gun
30:23and it might have killed someone.
30:24So unless you want
30:25to go down for that,
30:26I'd pick up that phone
30:27and start dialing.
30:43Wait,
30:44what are you?
30:46You're cops?
30:47Yeah,
30:47we are.
30:48I'm a cop.
30:49She's not.
30:50I have a badge.
30:51It's bedazzled.
30:52Thanks.
30:53He's just jealous.
30:54Kelly,
30:54the ballistics report
30:55just came back
30:56and your gun
30:57is a match
30:58for the murder weapon.
30:58I told you
30:59it's not my gun.
31:00Somebody put it there.
31:02Did you kill Tommy
31:02because you were having
31:03an affair with Sal?
31:04I would have never
31:05cheated on Tommy.
31:06Somebody started
31:07that stupid rumor.
31:09I was trying to get
31:10Tommy to leave Salvatore.
31:11Why?
31:12Tommy used to love
31:13the game
31:13just for the joy of it.
31:14But when Salvatore
31:16recruited him
31:16and the money
31:17started rolling in,
31:18he changed.
31:20Money became
31:21all he cared about.
31:22The last trip we did
31:23was the worst.
31:24Took this guy
31:24in Winnipeg
31:25for everything he had.
31:26The guy was clearly
31:27in over his head.
31:29But Salvatore
31:29kept saying
31:30that wasn't our problem.
31:31What were you
31:32and Sal
31:32arguing about?
31:35Salvatore
31:35always held on
31:36to the winnings.
31:37And now he won't
31:38give me Tommy's cut.
31:39Says Tommy screwed
31:40him on the last game
31:41so he's owed.
31:42Where were you
31:43when Tommy walked
31:44out of the bar
31:44that night?
31:45I stayed around
31:46until past three
31:46hoping Tommy would
31:47cool off and come back.
31:50But he never did.
31:53Now I know why.
32:02So,
32:03you believe her?
32:03I do.
32:04I think she loved Tommy.
32:06Besides,
32:06why keep the murder weapon
32:07in your purse?
32:09Maybe Salvatore
32:10shot Tommy
32:11and planted the gun
32:11on her.
32:12Or Kelly actually
32:13did do it.
32:13She was just waiting
32:14for the right time
32:14and put the gun
32:15back in the safe.
32:15Do you really believe that?
32:16You gotta remember
32:17this whole thing
32:17is centered around
32:18a rumor
32:18of an alleged affair.
32:20So either it's true
32:21or the whole thing
32:22is a frame-up
32:22to make him look guilty
32:23but I would do that.
32:24Somebody who had
32:25access to the safe
32:26and somebody
32:28who hated Tommy
32:28enough to kill him?
32:32Somebody
32:33who had access
32:34to the safe.
32:36What are you thinking?
32:38Give me a sec.
32:42Bingo.
32:51Hey!
32:52You wanna play a game?
32:54Me?
32:55No.
32:56I don't play anymore.
32:58Okay.
32:58Well, I'm sure
32:59someone else
32:59will wanna play
33:00for this 20K.
33:04Hey,
33:06what the hell,
33:07huh?
33:07For old time's sake.
33:29I guess I still got it.
33:31That's what everybody says.
33:33Hey, Tommy had his
33:33last game
33:34at this table,
33:35didn't he?
33:36I heard it was
33:37one hell of a game.
33:38Tooth and nail
33:38to the end, right?
33:40But nobody knew
33:41that the game
33:42was fixed.
33:44It was not.
33:45Then why'd you have
33:45Bert bet against Tommy
33:46on your behalf?
33:47Because the game
33:48was fixed.
33:49Tommy was supposed
33:49to throw the match,
33:50but he didn't.
33:51What?
33:51You fixed the game
33:52at my place?
33:53It was Salvin'
33:53Josee.
33:54I just went along
33:55with it.
33:55Are you crazy?
33:56Sal,
33:57what the hell
33:57are you thinking?
33:58What is all this?
33:59Focus, Sal.
33:59You got 20K
34:00on the line.
34:07Well, my turn.
34:10Okay, so let's review here.
34:13Tommy was supposed
34:14to throw the game,
34:15but didn't.
34:15Because of that,
34:16it makes sense
34:17that people heard you
34:18arguing about the fact
34:19that he beat Jose.
34:21That wasn't the only thing
34:22you two were arguing
34:23about that night,
34:24was it?
34:24There was juicy goss
34:26going around
34:27that you were sleeping
34:28being with Kelly,
34:29and Tommy caught wind
34:30of it.
34:30I never touched Kelly.
34:32I mean, I know that,
34:33but Tommy didn't,
34:34and he was pissed.
34:35And that's why
34:36he decided to screw
34:37you over on the game.
34:45Who the hell are you?
34:46Somebody who likes
34:47to play games.
34:48Speaking of,
34:49there was somebody else
34:49who was playing you,
34:50and everyone else
34:52in this bar.
34:52That affair rumor
34:53wasn't just gossip.
34:55Somebody started
34:55that for a reason.
34:56You want to know
34:56who that was?
34:57It was Myrna,
34:58the lady who's always
34:59at the bar.
35:00I think her name's Myrna.
35:05Who are y'all looking at?
35:06Myrna told everyone
35:07that Salvatore
35:08was sleeping with Kelly.
35:11What?
35:11I didn't do anything.
35:13You remember Winnipeg?
35:14Yeah.
35:14What about it?
35:15There was a man there.
35:16You took him
35:17for all that he was worth.
35:20He was already
35:21way over his head
35:22in the game,
35:23not to mention
35:23that his house
35:25was triple mortgaged.
35:27He was humiliated
35:28that he was about
35:29to lose his house,
35:29so he killed himself,
35:31leaving behind his wife,
35:33Myrna.
35:36She's crazy!
35:37Oh, really?
35:38So you're saying
35:38this isn't you?
35:40When you found out
35:41who hustled your husband,
35:42you wanted to get even.
35:42So you followed the trio
35:44back to the pool hall,
35:45and you set yourself up
35:46as some innocent barfly.
35:47You kicked up
35:48the character for weeks,
35:49noticing the trio's
35:50personalities,
35:51their insecurities,
35:52weaknesses,
35:53making up rumors
35:54about them,
35:54all to set them up.
35:55And then there's
35:56the matter of the gun.
35:59It was in that moment
36:01I saw the reflection
36:02of the safe keypad
36:04from where I was standing.
36:06And then I realized
36:08I'm in Myrna's spot.
36:09You took the gun
36:10from Monty's safe,
36:11killed Tommy with it,
36:12and planted it on Kelly.
36:14Nuts!
36:15You can't prove anything.
36:16Actually, we can,
36:17because Tommy's stolen cash
36:18was just recovered
36:19at your hotel room.
36:22It's over, Myrna.
36:24You can drop the act now.
36:28That little punk
36:29ruined my life.
36:31He deserved what he got.
36:33Myrna, you're under arrest
36:34for murder.
36:35Now that you got your revenge,
36:36what do you hope
36:37the life sentence was worth?
36:38You're a cop?
36:39Yeah.
36:41You coming?
36:41In a sec.
36:43All right, let's go, Myrna.
36:44Let's go.
36:45And by the way, Sal,
36:50never hustle a hustler.
37:00Just like old times,
37:02nice work, you two.
37:03Thank you, sir.
37:04Who's the best?
37:06Aw, thanks, Gates.
37:08We are, that's who.
37:10Okay.
37:10Just solved another case,
37:12so drinks on us.
37:14Drinks on you?
37:15Drinks on me.
37:15Coming?
37:16Sure.
37:17I'll come.
37:18Rain check.
37:19I just got back
37:20to boats a mess.
37:21Boo.
37:22See you at Brownie's.
37:23Next time, promise.
37:27Nice work today, partner.
37:30I guess the dream team
37:32is back together.
37:33Yeah, guess it is.
37:38Well, uh,
37:40don't spend too long
37:40on that report.
37:42I don't think anybody
37:43reads them anyways.
37:44Right.
37:47Um, hey,
37:48I know we didn't get a chance
37:50to chat much today,
37:51so I just wanted to ask,
37:54you doing okay?
37:56Yeah.
37:57Why?
37:58No, it was just a couple
37:59moments today where it felt like,
38:01I don't know, like,
38:02there was something on your mind.
38:04Nope.
38:06Not me.
38:07Not a care in the world.
38:08Okay.
38:09Just me.
38:11Oh.
38:12Have a good night.
38:14You too.
38:16Okay.
38:19We need to talk.
38:23Sidebar, please.
38:32Look, I don't want to speak ill
38:33of your undead mother here,
38:35but are you kidding me?
38:35She shows up out of the blue
38:37asking for a hundred million
38:38the same night we finally
38:39get the Ashford money.
38:40It's a little convenient.
38:41There's no way she knows
38:42about the Ashford money,
38:43and I know it looks bad,
38:44but coincidences do happen.
38:46She's a professional liar.
38:47So are we.
38:48She abandoned you,
38:49left you to raise Max all alone.
38:51Do you really want to hand her
38:52our hard-earned dough?
38:53It's not a question of want.
38:55Gideon Vargas, no joke.
38:56If what she says is true,
38:57we'll all be dead
38:58if we don't pony up the cash.
39:00If it's true,
39:02I vote no.
39:04Look,
39:04it's going to take
39:05at least a month
39:05to get the money out
39:06of the Swiss accounts,
39:07launder it to cash,
39:08and get it back here.
39:09We might as well get started.
39:10We can decide later.
39:13Oh, honey, I'm sorry.
39:14I can't imagine
39:15what you're going through.
39:16Whatever you want to do,
39:17we'll do.
39:26Everything except for tonight?
39:27So you sure about this?
39:29Yeah.
39:30That's the only way
39:31for a fresh start.
39:32Get the money off to Varga
39:33and let's just be done with this.
39:36Bon voyage.
39:37And a million.
39:39We could have been great together.
39:41Okay, well, let me know
39:41if anything goes wrong
39:42with the handoff, okay?
39:43Where are you?
39:44I've just finished
39:45grabbing a bite with the team
39:46and I have one more stop to make.
39:54Police!
39:55Come out with your hands up.
40:00Mom?
40:02Hi.
40:06Max?
40:07What, um...
40:08What are you doing here?
40:09Ronnie and Zagros
40:10were extra greasy tonight
40:11and I didn't want you
40:12to miss out on the heartburn.
40:13But I...
40:14So you got other dinner plans?
40:16Some market and steak tonight?
40:19You lucky boy.
40:20No, actually, Max,
40:22I should have mentioned
40:23this earlier, but...
40:25Hi.
40:27Max, this is, uh, Jessica.
40:29Wow, finally.
40:30I've heard so much about you.
40:32Oh, nice to meet you.
40:36Uh, we met down in Mexico.
40:38She was taking some time off
40:40and so was I
40:41and, uh...
40:42Anyway, she's a journalist.
40:44Uh, are you still on vacation?
40:47No, I...
40:48I live here in town.
40:50Do you want to stay for dinner?
40:51Oh, no.
40:52No, that's okay.
40:53I...
40:54I gotta go.
40:55Um, I was just
40:56dropping off these egg rolls.
40:58They pair really great
40:58with the steak.
41:00Right.
41:01Have a good night.
41:02Yeah.
41:02Yeah.
41:03Good night.
41:06Nice to meet you.
41:13She seems really nice.
41:15Yeah, she, uh, she is.
41:18I'm gonna grab a beer.
41:19You want one?
41:20Yeah.
41:21Great.
41:21Thanks.
41:31Ricky!
41:32We need two pints of ice cream
41:34and a 90s rom-com stacked.
41:38What's going on?
41:43Who are you?
41:44This is Tomo Hayashi.
41:47I'm pure on behalf of Mr. Varga.
41:48I was just explaining to your family
41:50that there's been a misunderstanding.
41:53You see, Mr. Varga demands payment
41:54in full before the deadline.
41:56That doesn't cover it.
41:57This money covers Vivian's
41:59original debt of $98 million,
42:01but after 15 years
42:03with inflation and interest,
42:05you're about $30 million short.
42:07Oh, no, no, that's news to me.
42:11When's the deadline?
42:13It's in exactly 20 minutes.
42:16Oh, that's impossible.
42:17It is.
42:18Which is why Mr. Varga
42:19is offering another way
42:20to pay your remaining debt.
42:21Oh, that is so sweet of him.
42:24It's a task suited to your skills.
42:26If you accomplish it,
42:27he will consider you debt-free.
42:30No!
42:31We've already done
42:31everything he's asked.
42:33For all we know,
42:34he'll keep pushing the goalposts.
42:36Either he'll take the cash,
42:37or we'll disappear with it.
42:39You can run,
42:40but you'd be drastically
42:42underestimating Varga's resources.
42:45You'd leave the others unprotected.
42:48What others?
42:50You may be willing to risk your lives,
42:54but will you risk theirs?
43:05What's the job?
43:09You are going to steal us a diamond.
43:45You are going to steal us a diamond.
43:48You are going to steal us a diamond.
43:49You are going to steal us a diamond.
43:50You are going to steal us a diamond.
43:50You are going to steal us a diamond.
43:50You are going to steal us a diamond.
43:50You are going to steal us a diamond.
