Transcript
00:00Previously on Wild Cards.
00:02You know she's working really hard to get you out of here early.
00:05Once we wrap up our latest project, we'll be set for life.
00:08You, me, Ricky.
00:11I can't wait.
00:12We'll leave everything and everyone behind.
00:14Because I know who killed your brother.
00:16Ted was in the wrong place at the wrong time.
00:18Tough luck for him, but I had to take him home.
00:20I've been waiting for over a year for breaking this case.
00:22You can't be involved.
00:23What do you got, Ricky?
00:24Tell us they found him.
00:25His name's Billy O'Brien, nicknamed Zippo.
00:27He's a mob enforcer.
00:28We missed him.
00:29He had a police scanner in there.
00:30He must have known we were coming.
00:31Damn it.
00:34So this parole board walks into a bar.
00:36Bartender says, hey, guys, how about a round on the house?
00:39And they say, sure, as long as no one's expecting a good behavior from us tonight.
00:48Wow, tough room.
00:49George Graham, this parole board has been convened to determine your potential,
00:53or lack thereof, for reintegration and risk to the community.
00:57As you're aware, the initial term of your incarceration has been truncated due to your daughter's cooperation with the police.
01:04And I want you to know how grateful I am for this opportunity.
01:06We need more than gratitude.
01:08We need assurance that you understand the impact of your crimes on your victims.
01:13Genuine insight can be a strong indicator of personal growth.
01:16Absolutely.
01:18The time I've had inside these walls has given me a lot of opportunity to reflect and understand how I came to be here.
01:27I've been doing this a long time, Mr. Graham.
01:29But this situation is unusual, to say the least.
01:33So, this is your time to tell us what you've learned,
01:36and why we should believe that you are now ready to become a law-abiding citizen.
01:40Like most life stories you've probably heard, mine begins with a mixed-up childhood.
01:54I won't bore you with the whole soap opera, but the bottom line is,
01:57by the time I was 16, I was out and on my own.
02:01Gone?
02:01With no parents, no family, and no money,
02:05the streets will chew you up and spit you out,
02:08unless you figure out how to survive.
02:11I was at my lowest, most desperate moment,
02:15when I met someone who taught me how to do just that.
02:19Survive.
02:20He became my mentor, teaching me the craft of the con artist trade.
02:24I knew it was wrong,
02:26but when you don't know where your next meal is coming from,
02:29you do what you have to do just to eat.
02:32Anyway, in time, he became like a father to me.
02:36So, I worked really hard at everything he taught me.
02:40And the harder I worked, the better I did,
02:43the more proud of me he became.
02:49Having this time in here to think,
02:52I've come to realize I wasn't seeking money all these years.
02:57I was seeking approval.
02:58Affirmation that I mattered to someone.
03:04To anyone.
03:06So, where did all that get me?
03:08In here.
03:09There's so much I want to do with the time I have left on earth.
03:12I want to give back to people, not take from them.
03:15I want to be a contribution to society, not a detriment.
03:18But most importantly,
03:20I want to be a proper father to my daughter.
03:23I want to be the kind of father I never had.
03:29Nothing means more to me than that.
03:48This is definitely a two-clem.
03:52What's wrong?
03:54It's really gonna miss you, man.
03:56Don't worry, you can keep the remainder
03:58of my charcuterie of the month deliveries.
04:02I guess we both have good reasons to celebrate today.
04:05I asked my girl to marry me.
04:07What? Really?
04:08Well, congratulations.
04:10You're a good man, Davis.
04:11You're gonna make a great husband.
04:13I couldn't have done it without your help or advice.
04:15You're just really good at this relationship stuff.
04:17People are my business.
04:19Listen, if there's any way I can ever repay you,
04:21you're gonna be the first to know.
04:31Sweet, sweet freedom!
04:33Hey!
04:34We did it!
04:37You did it.
04:39Both of you did it.
04:41This is only the beginning, guys.
04:43What's going on with our other project?
04:44One last piece to fall into place.
04:45And then we'll be sitting pretty.
04:47When can I see it?
04:48Well, patience, young grasshopper.
04:49You wouldn't rush Picasso, would you?
04:51No, I'd just forge him.
04:52I mean, any five-year-old with a sharpie could do what you did.
04:55Dad, you just got out of prison.
04:57You know what?
04:58You're right.
04:59Let's get out of here.
05:00I never want to see this godforsaken place again.
05:02Okay.
05:03I'm almost done, and then you can have a little catnip.
05:19Not too much.
05:20I know we're doing it lately.
05:26Alright.
05:27Should we give it a try?
05:30Take that as a yes.
05:32We did it!
05:48I can't believe it.
05:50We did it!
05:51We did it!
05:57Man, Daniel would love this.
06:07Hey, Chief.
06:08What's going on?
06:09You sitting down?
06:10I got news.
06:11Sounds like bad news.
06:12On the contrary.
06:13I've just been informed the federal authorities have caught your brother's killer.
06:33And voila!
06:35Home sweet home.
06:36Wow.
06:37Swanky.
06:38Yeah.
06:39Lots of period details.
06:40Original flooring and gobs of natural light.
06:44As long as there's no bars on the windows, I'm happy.
06:50You guys look pretty settled in here.
06:52I thought this place was just temporary until I got out.
06:55Yeah, for sure.
06:56There's nothing here we can't leave behind in a flash.
06:58No attachments.
06:59Material, emotional, or otherwise.
07:01Hey, Max?
07:02Yes.
07:03Absolutely.
07:05It's Alice.
07:06What's new from Tall, Dark, and Surly?
07:08I'm so sorry, guys.
07:09Um, I gotta get to the station.
07:11Now?
07:12I thought you were all done with that cop stuff.
07:14I'm out.
07:15You're off the hook.
07:16Yeah, I just got a few loose ends to tie up.
07:18Okay?
07:19It won't be long.
07:20I just got out.
07:21You're leaving already?
07:22Stop pouting.
07:23Ricky's gonna make you lunch, and then I'll be right back.
07:25Okay?
07:26Mwah.
07:27Who sends my ass?
07:28Something's up.
07:29Ah, don't mind her.
07:30Okay, are you hungry?
07:31Am I hungry?
07:32Does Rick Springfield wish he had Jessie's girl?
07:33Can Jack Nicholson handle the truth?
07:34Does Kim Kardashian have a juice...
07:35Okay, okay.
07:36Let me, let me get you something.
07:37In the meantime...
07:38What's this?
07:39There's some videos you're gonna wanna see.
07:40Ah, come on, Ricky.
07:41I'm not that lonely.
07:42Not those kind of videos.
07:43Sit.
07:44Watch.
07:45George, take your time with these.
07:46It's a lot to take in.
07:47Oh, yeah.
07:48Yeah.
07:49I'm, like, a cracker roll.
07:50Oh, man.
07:51That's, in the meantime...
07:52What's that?
07:53There's some videos you're gonna wanna see.
07:54Ah, come on, Ricky.
07:55I'm not that lonely.
07:56Not those kind of videos.
07:58Sit.
07:59Watch.
08:05George, take your time with these.
08:08It's a lot to take in.
08:14Well, hello, old friend.
08:21Well, here we are.
08:26Hey, I got here as soon as I could.
08:30That's Billy O'Brien, otherwise known as Zippo.
08:33And we're sure that's him?
08:34We're about to find out.
08:38Kid was in the wrong place at the wrong time.
08:41Tough luck for him, but I had to take him out.
08:42Huh. Well, I heard the kid had a brother who's a cop.
08:45Name is Cole Ellis.
08:47Ah, I don't need to worry.
08:49They got no connection to me.
08:51Hey, I gotta go.
08:54What's your voice, Zippo?
08:57Not much point in denying it.
08:59Yes, it is.
09:00So you admit to shooting Daniel Ellis two years ago?
09:04You already got me admitting to that in the recording.
09:06What more do you want?
09:07I want to know who hired you.
09:08In my business, you don't ask for names.
09:11I get the call, I do the job.
09:13What did you mean when you said Daniel Ellis was in the wrong place at the wrong time?
09:17That's all he told me.
09:18I don't know what place or what time.
09:21But the kid must have seen something he shouldn't have.
09:23I didn't get any more details because it's none of my business.
09:26Who was the client?
09:27I told you, I don't know.
09:28You're lying.
09:28And you're taking the pass!
09:31I give you a name and I get shipped in the shower.
09:34I suck it up.
09:35I do my time.
09:3615 to 20, I'm back on the streets.
09:38Alive.
09:39Show's over, folks.
09:41Get me a lawyer!
09:43No.
09:45No, this is far from over.
09:46Zippo was just the trigger man and you know it.
09:48Somebody else ordered that hit and we need to find out who and why.
09:51That's true.
09:52We need to press him harder.
09:53He's signing a full confession right now.
09:55He's accepted the maximum sentence.
09:57The prosecutor's drying up the paperwork as we speak.
10:00So where's the task force that was assigned to this?
10:01What do they have to say?
10:02Both this department and our federal colleagues have spent an enormous amount of time, money,
10:07and manpower to find this person.
10:09What's that supposed to mean?
10:10That they just gave up?
10:11They don't care anymore?
10:12It means I share your frustration.
10:15Look, if we keep pressing him now, he could give us everything.
10:17With a full confession, we don't have any leverage over him.
10:23Then pull the deal.
10:24That would mean taking this to trial.
10:26The prosecutor will not risk losing a slam dunk conviction on a murderer.
10:31So now after two years of tracking down every lead,
10:34turning over every stone, obsessing over every detail,
10:37when we are literally this close to getting the whole truth,
10:40you want me to just stop?
10:42You?
10:44Yes.
10:46Any further attempt on your part to force the issue
10:48could be construed as a conflict of interest
10:50and may actually jeopardize the conviction.
10:52Is that what you want, Ellis?
10:55Ellis, we are family in this department.
10:58I give you my word.
11:00I will keep this case open and alive
11:02until every last person involved is caught.
11:06You and Max have done an amazing job the last few months.
11:10And, of course, we'd like all our cases to be wrapped up
11:13with a neat little bow,
11:14but you know, things rarely work out like that.
11:17That is not good enough for me.
11:19And it shouldn't be.
11:20And I hope we get all the answers someday.
11:23But for now,
11:24I need you to prepare
11:27that this is as far as it may go.
11:31To that effect,
11:33why don't you take a few days off?
11:36No.
11:37No.
11:38Not when I'm this close.
11:40For your own well-being.
11:42It's a lot to process.
11:43Because right now,
11:44your job is to take care of yourself.
11:50Wait.
11:56Wow.
11:57You know what?
11:58I'm going to leave before I say something I regret.
12:04Max.
12:05Max.
12:05Let him blow off some steam.
12:08He's right.
12:10We're so close to the whole truth.
12:12If we just keep investigating, we...
12:13You're forgetting there is no we anymore.
12:15Your father's been released from prison,
12:17and my dream team is done.
12:19Yeah, technically.
12:20But I am more than happy to see this through.
12:23Max.
12:23I am very proud of the way you've turned your life around
12:27and all UNLs have accomplished.
12:29To be honest,
12:30your success rate has also helped my campaign for mayor.
12:34The election's still a couple days away,
12:35but I'm ahead by three points.
12:37Well, I'm happy for you,
12:39but I don't...
12:40All good things must come to an end.
12:43Must they?
12:47Commissioner?
12:48Your car is ready.
12:49Ah.
12:49You'll have to excuse me.
12:51I'm, um...
12:51cooking risotto on the morning TV show.
12:55That's politics for you.
12:57Cheer up, Max.
12:58As my campaign says,
13:00there are better days ahead.
13:02Tell that to Ellis.
13:20Anybody order some deep-fried comfort food?
13:23I told Ronnie you were having a tough day,
13:25so you gave me extra packets
13:26of that Dayglo orange sauce that you like.
13:28Well, thanks,
13:29but I don't have much of an appetite.
13:33Talk to me.
13:35What do you want me to say, Max?
13:37I'm happy we caught this shooter,
13:38that I have some...
13:39overwhelming sense of closure,
13:41because I don't.
13:42I want you to tell me the truth.
13:46Truth is,
13:47for the first time in my career,
13:48I honestly don't care about the rules anymore.
13:50I'm not gonna let this go.
13:51I can't just put it aside and wait.
13:54I don't want him this close.
13:55Well, you heard Russo.
13:56She's not letting you anywhere near this case.
13:58And Yates,
13:59Simmons, Lee,
14:00they can't help you either.
14:02I know.
14:02God, if I could just get Zippo alone
14:04and talk to him.
14:05He knows more than he's telling.
14:07Well, he's in the system now,
14:08so you can't get to him
14:09without anyone finding out.
14:17But I think I know someone who can.
14:19Maybe because I'm getting older,
14:24or maybe because today is Father's Day.
14:27But I've been thinking a lot lately about my dad.
14:31I was an only child,
14:32and I grew up in a small town,
14:33and we always had next to nothing.
14:36And when my dad came back from Vietnam,
14:38he tried his best to hold it together.
14:40But then we lost mom to cancer,
14:42and then we lost the house,
14:43and after that, well,
14:45I guess he just couldn't do it anymore.
14:47So one morning,
14:49I woke up alone in our cheap motel room,
14:52and this bag was next to my bed
14:53with all my clothes and comic books,
14:56deck of cards,
14:58and this note pinned to a $10 bill.
15:02I am so proud of you
15:04and the man that you have become.
15:07Take care, son.
15:09I was 13 years old,
15:11and I never saw him again.
15:12But I understood what he was going through,
15:14and I didn't blame him.
15:16Hell, he knew I knew what to do.
15:18And it turned out this bag
15:20was the best thing he could have ever left me.
15:22You don't believe you can fit your whole life
15:24into a sack this size,
15:26that is, until you feel the heat coming for you.
15:28Then you'll find room to spare,
15:30because nothing,
15:31absolutely nothing,
15:32matters more than your own freedom.
15:36And you know, over the years,
15:37I always wondered
15:37if we'd ever run into each other again.
15:40And for all I know,
15:42maybe we did somewhere.
15:44We just didn't recognize each other.
15:48Go figure.
15:56So glad you're back.
15:57Hey, Dad.
16:01It's good to see you, too.
16:03Everything okay?
16:04I just want to let you know
16:05I'm never going to leave you again, honey.
16:07Got it.
16:08Whatever you need, honey.
16:09I'll always be here for you.
16:10Thanks, Dad.
16:12You're the best.
16:15Ellis?
16:16George,
16:17congrats on the early release.
16:19Couldn't have done it without the two of you,
16:21so, from my heart, thanks.
16:23Well, I'm glad you're in such a grateful mood.
16:27Why?
16:27We need a favor.
16:28Actually, I need a favor.
16:30Of course.
16:31You've given me the greatest gift of all,
16:33freedom.
16:33And thanks to you,
16:34I'll never set foot on those concrete floors
16:36or lay eyes on that barbed wire ever again.
16:39The least I could do
16:40is try to make it up to you, too.
16:41How can I help?
16:42We need you to go back to prison.
16:52George, you know you don't have to do this.
16:54I mean, you did just get released a few hours ago.
16:57Ellis had almost as much to do
16:58with my early release as Max did.
17:00And now he's the one that needs help,
17:02and you know the rule.
17:02Yeah, I'll always lend a hand to those that need it.
17:05There's our guy.
17:07Davis.
17:08George.
17:08Hey.
17:09What's going on?
17:10Looks like I'm cashing in that favor
17:12a little earlier than I expected.
17:13Of course, anything.
17:15What do you need?
17:17You ever hear of a rooftop handshake?
17:25What are we doing on the roof?
17:27Hey!
17:28You Zippo?
17:29Who's asking?
17:30I'm Snake Eyes.
17:31This is my associate, Crazy Pete.
17:33You don't want to know how we got that name.
17:35Now, we're going to ask you a few questions.
17:37You make it easy,
17:38you can go back to your cozy six-inch spring mattress.
17:41You make it hard,
17:42you can take a dive off that roof.
17:44You understand?
17:45And who the hell are you?
17:46Wrong answer.
17:47Wrong answer.
17:49Come on.
17:49Come on.
17:51Now, look,
17:52we're just looking for some friendly information.
17:54You killed a man with connections,
17:56so we're going to need some answers
17:57about the death of Daniel Ella.
17:58I'm not telling you a damn thing.
18:00So be it.
18:01Oh, hey!
18:02Come on!
18:04Help!
18:05Oh, hey!
18:07Oh, God!
18:09Pull me down!
18:10Pull me down!
18:10Happy to.
18:11Don't think you'd be happy with the fall at the end.
18:13Okay, please, Matt.
18:14I'll tell you whenever you want.
18:15It's not.
18:16Don't kill me.
18:17All right, then.
18:17Spill it.
18:17They made me wait for him
18:18in the alley
18:19between 12th and Mound Street
18:21at 9.
18:22Kill him!
18:23Kill him when he arrived!
18:24And they dropped the body
18:25across town in the park
18:26off its herd.
18:27Okay?
18:28They wanted me to make it look
18:29like a muggin.
18:29Why?
18:30I don't know.
18:31Okay?
18:31I was just following an order.
18:32Who gave the order?
18:33I had a guy
18:34who used to throw jobs my way,
18:35all right?
18:36Reggie Babs!
18:39What?
18:40Reggie was an inmate here
18:41at the shiv six months ago.
18:43That's all I know!
18:44Hey, okay!
18:44I swear!
18:45I swear!
18:45Please don't throw me over!
18:51No, no, no, no!
18:52Hey!
18:53Oh, God!
18:53Please, no!
18:56Hey!
18:57Hey!
19:00Get gone, warm breath.
19:01Thanks, Davis.
19:02I'm kidding.
19:03This was fun.
19:04I felt like it was on the wire.
19:06Oh, you're fine.
19:10You sure that's all that's good for him?
19:11Trust me, if he knew anything else,
19:13he would have shared.
19:14That guy was squirming for his life.
19:16Now it finally makes sense.
19:17The body was moved.
19:19I always thought it was strange
19:20that nobody heard a gunshot in the park.
19:22By the look of the alleyway
19:23at 12th and Mill Street,
19:24it's totally deserted.
19:26Yeah, perfect place to kill somebody.
19:27All right, so we have some new information.
19:29What now?
19:30Now we talk to Tyson.
19:31Who's Tyson?
19:33He's a kid Daniel used to work with.
19:35He's in his 20s by now.
19:36He aged out of the system
19:37and fell back in with a rough crowd,
19:38so Daniel started playing basketball
19:40with him on Tuesdays
19:41to help him get back on track.
19:42Including the Tuesday
19:43that Daniel was murdered?
19:44Tyson said he was playing basketball
19:45with Daniel the night he was killed,
19:47but that can't be true
19:48if Zippo killed him across town
19:49at the same time.
19:50Why would Tyson lie?
19:52That's what we've got to find out.
19:53Tyson, hey, I'm Daniel's brother.
20:06Appreciate you talking with me.
20:08Just hoping to ask you a few questions.
20:09Is this going to take long?
20:11I just got off work.
20:12I already told the police
20:13everything I knew back then.
20:15Look, they just picked up Daniel's shooter,
20:16and we're going over the case files
20:17one last time.
20:19Can you tell me about that night?
20:22Oh.
20:23Daniel and I shot some hoops,
20:25like always, and, uh...
20:28Who won?
20:29Uh, me.
20:32Then the next day I heard
20:33that Daniel got killed,
20:35and I was like, whoa.
20:38Shocked, you know?
20:39What time did you guys meet up at?
20:41Nine.
20:42Nine.
20:43You sure it was nine?
20:44Yeah, yeah, we always met at nine.
20:46Are we done?
20:48Yeah, that's great, Tyson.
20:50Well?
20:58He's definitely lying.
21:00Did you get anything else out of him?
21:01No, but I didn't expect to.
21:03Then why bother talking to him?
21:06So we could follow him.
21:07He was so nervous when I was interviewing him,
21:31I knew he'd run right to whoever got him to lie.
21:33Then this place must be connected to Daniel's head.
21:37That's what I'm thinking.
21:37Could even be a hub for whoever hired Zippo.
21:40So who owns it?
21:41Elena Ramos.
21:43She's owned the Granville Jazz Club for the last six years.
21:47Does Elena have a criminal record?
21:48Well, nothing to speak of.
21:55Divorced.
21:56Eighteen-year-old kid named Samson.
21:58Samson Ramos.
22:00God, I know that name.
22:02Ricky, look in the box that I left there.
22:04It's Daniel's case files.
22:06There's a list of all the kids that Daniel worked with.
22:08Should be the first one right on top.
22:09Can you check and see if Samson was one of them?
22:11Yep, here it is.
22:12You were right.
22:14Anyway.
22:14There's a note here that says Samson was never questioned by the police.
22:18What does it all mean?
22:19We just got one step closer to solving Daniel's murder.
22:34Cynthia Smith?
22:36That's right.
22:36Hi, I'm Cole Ellis, Daniel's brother.
22:40The detective.
22:41I remember you.
22:42We met at, um, Daniel's funeral.
22:45I'm sorry.
22:46That day's a bit of a blur for me.
22:48Of course.
22:48Um, what can I help you with?
22:50I was looking for some more information on a kid that Daniel was working with here at the center.
22:54Why?
22:54There's been a development in Daniel's case.
22:57Well, I think we both know any information concerning our kids here is confidential.
23:00I know, and I understand, but look, this kid could be the key to solving Daniel's case.
23:11Come with me.
23:12I'll tell you what I can for Daniel.
23:16What was this boy's name?
23:17Samson Ramos.
23:20Oh, wow.
23:22Samson.
23:23When he first came to us, he had already fallen in with some bad people.
23:28He was a tough case.
23:29I couldn't even get through to him.
23:30But Daniel, he saw a sweetness in him.
23:34A sort of, uh, thoughtfulness.
23:36Daniel could see the good in just about anybody.
23:38Well, one day, I caught the kid with drugs here at the center.
23:42So what happened?
23:43Did you kick him out?
23:44Nope.
23:45Daniel made it his personal mission to make sure he got through to Samson.
23:49So with Daniel's help, he turned things around?
23:51Oh, yeah, 180 degrees.
23:53Before long, Samson was mentoring other kids here at the center.
23:57Daniel saved that kid's life.
24:00Do you know where he is now?
24:01No idea.
24:03He came by here looking for Daniel the day after he got killed.
24:08I had to deliver the news to him.
24:12I'm sure that was difficult.
24:13Yeah.
24:14How did he take it?
24:15Like every other kid I had to tell.
24:19Devastated.
24:21He'd become a fixture around here.
24:24A real dedicated mentor.
24:26So a couple of days later, I wondered where he went.
24:31Did you reach out to him?
24:32Well, I ended up talking to his mother.
24:35And she said Samson was so broken up about Daniel's death that he didn't want to come back here.
24:43Well, that was kind of odd.
24:44So I called again the next day.
24:47And that's when she said he was gone.
24:49Do you know where he went?
24:51Well, his mother said that she sent him out of town to live with his aunt.
24:55And then she told me never to call again.
24:57I remember her being very terse about it.
25:00Did that strike you as suspicious at the time?
25:02Yes.
25:02I know.
25:05Daniel was aflame.
25:06It burned bright for a whole lot of people.
25:08With that extinguished, even I wanted to run away.
25:14Oh, trust me.
25:15I did, too.
25:17And I did.
25:18In a lot of ways.
25:20You don't think he had anything to do with Daniel's death, do you?
25:23I don't know.
25:24I hope not.
25:26There's one more thing.
25:27Do you remember a kid named Tyson?
25:31Yes.
25:31Did Tyson and Samson know each other?
25:33No.
25:34Tyson's older.
25:35They never would have crossed paths.
25:36All right.
25:39I appreciate you taking the time to talk to me.
25:41And I know you didn't have to.
25:43Anything for Daniel.
25:45You're welcome.
25:47Detective.
25:50Yeah.
25:53I once asked Daniel why he stuck it out with the difficult cases.
25:59He said because life wasn't easy,
26:02but anything could be accomplished with a little tough love and a lot of hard work.
26:06That sounds like Daniel.
26:08He said he learned that from you.
26:14I still can't find anything on Samson Ramos.
26:24It's like he just disappeared.
26:26Okay, this is what we know.
26:27Daniel was killed right here in the alley behind Mill Street.
26:30And his body was moved to the jogging path across town to make it look like a muggy near his house.
26:34Okay, so Tyson lied about seeing Daniel twice.
26:37Second time, after talking at Ellis, he went straight to the Granville.
26:40Where he was let in by Elena Ramos, owner and operator.
26:43Whose son, Samson, was mentored by Daniel and disappeared days after Daniel's murder.
26:49We're good at this.
26:50Yeah, we should start our own police department.
26:51Yeah, there's no money in it.
26:53I could just talk to Samson.
26:54He could tell us what happened.
26:55Well, I just found him.
26:57What?
26:58How?
26:59I wasn't getting anywhere using the name Samson Ramos.
27:02But of course, he's not going to use his real name if he's in hiding.
27:05So, I tried his mother's maiden name.
27:08And voila.
27:10He's in his first year at college, out east.
27:12Someone moves away and changes their name.
27:14They don't want to be found.
27:15But why wouldn't Samson want to be found?
27:17What does he know?
27:18What did he see?
27:19Well, his mom sent him away right after Daniel's murder, so that couldn't have been a coincidence.
27:22No.
27:22Maybe he's guilty of something.
27:24Or he saw something and he's scared.
27:26I need to talk to him.
27:27Now that I know who he is, I can get you his number.
27:30Pronto.
27:31No.
27:31It's got to be face to face.
27:33If I call him, he'll just hang up on me.
27:34The woman at the center was very clear.
27:36Him and Daniel were really close.
27:37Okay, Ricky will get you a flight and we'll figure out what's really going on inside that club.
27:41I'm going to need a new outfit.
27:42On it?
27:43No.
27:43Hey, you may be a good detective.
27:46But wardrobe, that's my department.
27:49Yep.
27:49You guys have done enough already and I appreciate it.
27:51Okay, but Daniel was my brother.
27:54I'm willing to take this risk, but I can't ask you guys to do the same.
27:59When's he going to get it?
28:00I don't know.
28:01Look, Daniel was your family, but you're our family now.
28:05Roger, die, amigo.
28:07Can't shake us now, babe.
28:08We're in this land.
28:12I don't know what to say.
28:14Say you'll pay for her new outfit.
28:15Because I can guarantee you it will not be cheap.
28:17Oh, yeah.
28:17It definitely won't.
28:18No.
28:21All right, what are you thinking?
28:23How are you going to infiltrate the club?
28:24The less you know, the better.
28:26I'm serious.
28:27Max, what's going on?
28:28Shh.
28:29Shh.
28:29It's not a plan.
28:30Shh.
28:30Shh.
28:30Shh.
28:33Don't worry.
28:35I got a plan.
28:36I got a plan.
28:43Hello.
28:43This is Carmen.
28:45Carmen.
28:45This is Duke Callaway.
28:47I'm a talent scout from down near Jackson.
28:50I had the pleasure of being introduced to your musical stylings by a friend who gave me your demo.
28:55Oh, my.
28:56And which friend might that be?
28:58A good one.
28:59Now, let me tell you, when I listened to your demo, I was shocked.
29:03Shocked, I'll tell you.
29:04Why?
29:05I could not believe the velvety, luscious, smooth voice I was listening to
29:10came from someone singing down in that dusty old Granville.
29:14Why, thank you.
29:15Music is my life, but it sure doesn't pay the bills.
29:19Sounds like you're in need of an opportunity.
29:22And if you listen, I believe you'll hear one knocking right about now.
29:26Okay.
29:27I shared your demo with a colleague of mine who works in the cruise ship business,
29:31and she's prepared to offer you a one-year contract to perform in one of her Caribbean festival cruise ships.
29:39Um, let me guess, you're going to ask me for a cut.
29:41No, not at all.
29:43I'll have my friend send your agent, I believe her name is Anna Silvers, the paperwork,
29:48and I get a cut of their cut.
29:49You spoke to my agent.
29:51Now, the cruise leaves tomorrow from Miami, which means you'll need to be on a flight tonight.
29:55Tonight, I have a show.
29:57I can't just leave.
29:58Well, it's a tough call.
30:00I understand.
30:01But let me tell you this.
30:03I believe there are moments in life that define a person.
30:08Forks in the road that change the course of our lives.
30:11And Carmen, this is one of those moments.
30:14Turn around.
30:17Mrs. Carmen, shall I take you home to pack?
30:19Damn.
30:32What's up, Alina?
30:34The headliner just canceled, and we have a full house tonight.
30:37And a jam doll?
30:40Selena LaFleur.
30:42A little birdie told me you're behind the eight ball, and here I am.
30:45Canary without a cage.
30:46I have no idea what you just said, but I do need a singer.
30:51Now, where can I change?
30:54I don't care if Monday's blue, Tuesday's gray, and Wednesday too.
31:15Thursday, I don't care about you.
31:19It's Friday, I'm in love.
31:24One day you can fall apart.
31:28Tuesday, Wednesday, break my heart.
31:33Thursday doesn't even start.
31:36It's Friday, I'm in love.
31:40Saturday, I'm in love.
31:45And Sunday always comes too late.
31:49But Friday, never hesitate.
31:54I don't care if Monday's black.
31:58Tuesday, Wednesday, heart attack.
32:02Thursday, never looking back.
32:06It's Friday, it's Friday, I'm in love.
32:10It's Friday, I'm in love.
32:11It's Saturday, I'm in love.
32:15And Sunday always comes too late.
32:19But Friday, never hesitate.
32:24I don't care if Monday, I don't care if Monday's blue.
32:31Tuesday's gray, and Wednesday too.
32:36Thursday, I don't care about you.
32:40It's Friday, I'm in love.
32:45All right, all right.
32:46I don't care if nobody's in love.
32:55Shall I say it, or do you want to have the pleasure?
32:59Selina LeFleur, you're hired.
33:02You're hired.
33:14I worked on my set list. You want to take a look?
33:20No, Sinatra. Makes Carmine Lagoza emotional. Brings down the whole bar.
33:25Well, how will I know who Carmine is?
33:27He's a big guy, really bad ties. You can't miss him.
33:30Elena, Locke's here. He just parked outside.
33:34Damn it. Who's Locke? None of your business.
33:51Elena!
33:52I'm guessing that's Locke?
33:54Stay away from him.
33:56Okay.
34:00So, who's he?
34:02Word of advice. The key to working here is you don't see nothing. You don't hear nothing.
34:06Hey. Who is that guy?
34:08It's Roman Locke. He's one of the biggest crime bosses in the city. No arrests.
34:12I saw Elena hand him an envelope full of cash. My guess? It's protection money.
34:18Sounds right. He's doing some digging and this is one bad dude.
34:20Drugs, extortion, gambling, and he doesn't play nice with people who cross him.
34:22Murder?
34:23Definitely in his bag of tricks.
34:24Wait, how are you looking all this up right now? Aren't you driving?
34:28He's not the one behind the wheel.
34:30in the city no arrests i saw alina hand him an envelope full of cash my guess it's protection

40:56I wanted to tell the truth of what had happened.
40:59I really did.
41:00My mom said no.
41:02She said it was too dangerous.
41:03Samson, I'm going to protect you and your mom, okay?
41:06No matter what it takes, I promise, you'll be safe.
41:11Now tell me what you wanted to say.
41:16I'm the reason your brother is dead.
41:18I'm the reason why Tyson lied about being with Daniel the night of his murder.
41:46Oh, God.
41:50What is it?
41:51Judging by the contents of this fridge, the guy's a vegan.
41:54Leave the fridge alone.
41:55After two years of prison food, I can't help myself.
41:58But you could lock me up for the rest of my life,
42:00and I still wouldn't need tofu balls and cashew cream.
42:03George, focus.
42:04Right now, a party.
42:28Hey.
42:30What are you doing here?
42:40Just finished talking with the kid.
42:42He's terrified, but he's telling the truth.
42:44What did he say?
42:45Samson was there.
42:46He heard everything.
42:47Roman Locke sent a hit on Daniel.
42:49He's the reason my brother's dead.
42:51Now we need to find him.
42:52Well, not a problem.
42:53I'm looking at him right now.
42:55What?
42:56Max, stay away from him.
42:57He's dangerous.
42:57All right?
42:58Samson just agreed to testify, and I'm bringing him home.
43:00We're going to end this.
43:02Now.
43:02Okay, just get home fast, Ellis.
43:04All right.
43:05You're a damn cop, and you're going to die.
