That's our life savings
you're talking about.

Some of these guys got families.
359

Look, why don't
we give you half?
360
00:16:30,156 --> 00:16:32,959
You could go to Belize
and we'll call it a day.
361
00:16:33,059 --> 00:16:35,929
Either you give me
362
00:16:36,363 --> 00:16:39,799
the entire three million
to keep me quiet,
363
00:16:39,899 --> 00:16:42,869
or I bring the
evidence to the cops
364
00:16:42,969 --> 00:16:44,571

on how to wire me
the money tomorrow.

Once it's in my account,
I'll give you the evidence.

you were so right.

does that appeal?

"The Office" last month, right?

ah, community,
420

Sometimes we need an

Hmm. So I guess this company,
425
00:20:48,214 --> 00:20:49,492
they, they all started
working remotely
426
00:20:49,516 --> 00:20:51,117
during COVID and
they never came back,
427
00:20:51,217 --> 00:20:53,286
and they need, uh, one
person in the office
428
00:20:53,386 --> 00:20:54,497
so it's not technically vacant,
429
00:20:54,521 --> 00:20:56,956
you know, for
insurance purposes.
430
00:20:57,357 --> 00:20:59,225
This was a dumb
idea. I should quit.

[Good Buddy] My experience,
432
00:21:00,460 --> 00:21:02,395
it's the smack after the smack

I just have to ask,
449
00:21:48,441 --> 00:21:50,543
what is your general philosophy
450
00:21:50,643 --> 00:21:53,913

to tell you something.

- Yeah?
- [Lucille] Yes!
468
00:22:35,722 --> 00:22:38,058
Okay, so, uh, how
does this work?

Come here, walk with me.
473
00:22:45,131 --> 00:22:47,300
As a ball girl, what
you're going to do, honey,
474
00:22:47,400 --> 00:22:49,302
is you're going to
field foul balls,
475
00:22:49,402 --> 00:22:51,104
and you're going to
interact with the fans,
476
00:22:51,204 --> 00:22:52,439
which can really be fun.
477
00:22:52,539 --> 00:22:53,840
And then before the game,
478
00:22:53,940 --> 00:22:55,742
you just pitch in
wherever you're needed,
479
00:22:55,842 --> 00:22:59,279
operating the pitching
machine, shagging balls.
480
00:22:59,379 --> 00:23:00,714
- Do explain that one.
- Simple.
481
00:23:00,814 --> 00:23:02,982
You just pick up
the loose baseballs

during batting practice.
483
00:23:03,917 --> 00:23:05,361
- Okay. I can do it.
- [Lucille] Yeah.
484
00:23:05,385 --> 00:23:06,953
- Okay?
- Yeah, yeah.
485
00:23:07,053 --> 00:23:07,754
I'm going to introduce you
486
00:23:07,854 --> 00:23:09,823
to the oldest member
of our family.
487
00:23:09,923 --> 00:23:11,391
His name is Rambo.
488
00:23:11,491 --> 00:23:13,460
And I should have
retired him years ago,
489
00:23:13,560 --> 00:23:16,396
but I don't have the
funds to get a new one.
490
00:23:16,496 --> 00:23:18,131
I'll show you how it works.
491
00:23:18,231 --> 00:23:19,332
You flip this switch.
492
00:23:19,432 --> 00:23:21,601
[machine rattling]
493
00:23:21,701 --> 00:23:24,804
Oh, I should tell you,
you gotta be real careful
494
00:23:24,904 --> 00:23:28,441
because every couple balls,
he just starts shooting wild
495
00:23:28,541 --> 00:23:30,610
and he could hit
anything in sight.
496
00:23:31,378 --> 00:23:32,846
- Uh, you see?
- Yeah.
497
00:23:33,513 --> 00:23:36,082
Wow. Uh, so what do you
do when that happens?
498
00:23:36,182 --> 00:23:38,318

Injury, bad luck, family curse.

his whole approach.

in the book to fix it.

715
00:33:40,387 --> 00:33:42,989
Uh, I knew I should have
had that machine replaced.
716
00:33:43,089 --> 00:33:43,923
I knew that.
717
00:33:44,024 --> 00:33:45,759
I found him this morning.
718
00:33:46,693 --> 00:33:48,261
So Rambo...
719
00:33:49,229 --> 00:33:50,230
killed Felix?
720
00:33:50,330 --> 00:33:52,098
Well, it looks that way.
721
00:33:52,198 --> 00:33:54,467
Lucille, I hate to
bring it up, but...
722
00:33:54,567 --> 00:33:56,736
- What?
- You could be looking
723
00:33:56,836 --> 00:33:59,005
at a wrongful death lawsuit.
724
00:33:59,606 --> 00:34:01,441
- A big one.
- [Lucille] Well, that'll be it.
725
00:34:01,541 --> 00:34:04,511
We'd have to shut down the
park, then move the team.
726
00:34:04,611 --> 00:34:06,513
It's the only family I got left.
727
00:34:06,613 --> 00:34:08,190
Oh, no, we're not going
to let that happen.
728
00:34:08,214 --> 00:34:11,584
Uh, everybody knew the
machine was faulty.
729
00:34:11,685 --> 00:34:13,787
It is my fault.
730
00:34:14,954 --> 00:34:17,991
Hey, so, hypothetically
speaking,
731
00:34:18,091 --> 00:34:19,993
if, uh, Felix, we know
he was a good kid,
732
00:34:20,093 --> 00:34:23,129
but if Felix here was, uh, high
733
00:34:23,229 --> 00:34:25,031
while he was using
the equipment,
734
00:34:25,131 --> 00:34:28,001
would that alleviate
some of this liability?
735
00:34:28,101 --> 00:34:30,503
- Well, I guess it...
- [Benny] Yeah.
736
00:34:30,603 --> 00:34:32,472
...it would. Why?
737
00:34:33,106 --> 00:34:36,509
Well, I, uh, I think
his gum was laced.
738
00:34:36,609 --> 00:34:41,014
Well, if he was on drugs,
it's easy enough to check.
739
00:34:41,114 --> 00:34:41,981
It is?
740
00:34:42,082 --> 00:34:44,384
Yeah, a simple reagent test.
741
00:34:44,484 --> 00:34:45,518
Oh.
742
00:34:46,519 --> 00:34:47,620
Retired cop.
743
00:34:47,721 --> 00:34:50,557
Okay. Uh, well, hmm.
744
00:34:50,657 --> 00:34:52,459
Okay, terrific.
745
00:35:00,066 --> 00:35:02,435
Negative, no sign of drugs.
746
00:35:02,535 --> 00:35:03,570
Wait, what?
747
00:35:03,670 --> 00:35:05,538
Oh, gosh, man. I know
I was tripping so hard.
748
00:35:05,638 --> 00:35:07,340
And we all saw
Felix on that mound.
749
00:35:07,440 --> 00:35:09,440
He was like a guy at a
Phish concert at the Sphere.
750
00:35:09,509 --> 00:35:11,211
I mean, come on,
he was tripping.
751
00:35:11,311 --> 00:35:13,179
- Geez.
- Honey.
752
00:35:13,279 --> 00:35:14,414
[Charlie] What?
753
00:35:14,514 --> 00:35:16,416
[Lucille] Appreciate
your concern,
754
00:35:16,516 --> 00:35:17,917
but the last thing I wanna do
755
00:35:18,018 --> 00:35:20,487
is sully this kid's reputation.
756
00:35:21,554 --> 00:35:23,757
I've done enough damage already.
757
00:35:24,057 --> 00:35:26,059
Lucille, this is not on you.
758
00:35:26,159 --> 00:35:27,599
We're going to figure
this out, okay?
759
00:35:27,827 --> 00:35:29,929
I talked to Felix. He
told me he was straight.
760
00:35:30,030 --> 00:35:32,599
He wasn't lying.
Something is amiss.
761
00:35:32,699 --> 00:35:34,634
We'll have more on Felix Domingo
762
00:35:34,734 --> 00:35:35,969
as the story develops.
763
00:35:36,069 --> 00:35:38,304
- [knocking on door]
- Skip.
764
00:35:38,405 --> 00:35:39,773
Hell of a start to the day.
765
00:35:39,873 --> 00:35:41,207
[TV shuts off]
766
00:35:41,307 --> 00:35:42,742
You need something?
767
00:35:42,842 --> 00:35:44,978
Yeah, I do, I sure do.
768
00:35:45,712 --> 00:35:48,415
So Felix in last night's game,
769
00:35:48,515 --> 00:35:50,817
uh, just a gut check,
770
00:35:50,917 --> 00:35:52,185
he look alright to you?
771
00:35:52,285 --> 00:35:53,453
He looked great.
772
00:35:53,553 --> 00:35:55,989
He was higher than a fly
on Willie Nelson's wall.
773
00:35:56,089 --> 00:35:57,791
- Yeah.
- But whatever it takes.
774
00:35:57,891 --> 00:35:59,993
I mean, I don't judge.
775
00:36:00,093 --> 00:36:02,128
I mean, I'm working
on not judging.
776
00:36:02,562 --> 00:36:04,197
Something I'm working on.
777
00:36:04,931 --> 00:36:07,100
[Deb Lux] [on TV] It's
not all sad news today.
778
00:36:07,200 --> 00:36:10,270
Some lucky citizen
has won $3 million
779
00:36:10,370 --> 00:36:13,239
betting on last night's
historic Cheesemonger loss.
780
00:36:13,340 --> 00:36:15,475
A five-game parlay
at 22-to-one odds
781
00:36:15,575 --> 00:36:17,310
- was cashed in at a...
- Jesus.
782
00:36:17,711 --> 00:36:18,945
Sad, isn't it?
783
00:36:19,045 --> 00:36:20,285
Used to be fans actually rooted
784
00:36:20,380 --> 00:36:21,681
for the home team.
785
00:36:22,148 --> 00:36:24,317
Win or lose, we were
all in it together.
786
00:36:25,018 --> 00:36:27,554
Now it's all about the odds
and working the angles.
787
00:36:28,621 --> 00:36:30,623
Getting rich by
expecting the worst.
788
00:36:34,894 --> 00:36:36,162
[Charlie] Beep beep.
789
00:36:36,262 --> 00:36:37,297
Huh.
790
00:36:37,397 --> 00:36:39,532
Uh, hiya, Carl.
791
00:36:39,899 --> 00:36:41,601
Can I ask you a question?
792
00:36:41,701 --> 00:36:42,945
- Yeah, yeah, yeah.
- [Charlie] Uh,
793
00:36:42,969 --> 00:36:46,773
do you know if anyone had a,
uh, a grudge against Felix?
794
00:36:46,873 --> 00:36:50,110
'Cause, uh, I think
someone spiked his gum.
795
00:36:50,577 --> 00:36:53,279
Why would anybody have it out
for the new guy? [chuckles]
796
00:36:53,813 --> 00:36:55,181
Oh, wow!
797
00:36:55,482 --> 00:36:56,850
Super cool! Is that a...
798
00:36:57,283 --> 00:36:59,719
That's a no grill,
huh? Is it solid gold?
799
00:36:59,819 --> 00:37:02,689
My aunt died and left me
a real big inheritance.
800
00:37:02,789 --> 00:37:04,090
Yeah, bullshit.
801
00:37:04,657 --> 00:37:07,360
I won it playing trivia
down at the, uh, pub.
802
00:37:07,460 --> 00:37:08,938
Obvious bullshit. I
mean, I don't even need
803
00:37:08,962 --> 00:37:10,263
my special thing for that one.
804
00:37:10,363 --> 00:37:12,432
- Whoa.
- What are you bothering me for?
805
00:37:12,532 --> 00:37:14,000
I'm just a ball player,
806
00:37:14,100 --> 00:37:15,935
a regular minor
league ball player.
807
00:37:16,036 --> 00:37:17,303
Yeah, yeah, no.
808
00:37:17,404 --> 00:37:19,272
I, uh, I know you are.
809
00:37:22,809 --> 00:37:25,278
Nobody wanted the kid
to get hurt, alright?
810
00:37:26,646 --> 00:37:28,181
[clicks tongue]
Right, obviously.
811
00:37:28,281 --> 00:37:31,017
Yeah, no, obviously
not. It's just, uh...
812
00:37:32,519 --> 00:37:33,853
y-you did, right?
813
00:37:33,953 --> 00:37:35,321
You-you spiked his gum.
814
00:37:35,922 --> 00:37:37,824
Just to get him out
the game though,
815
00:37:37,924 --> 00:37:39,759
and then he went and
fucked around with Rambo.
816
00:37:39,859 --> 00:37:42,462
And the whole thing
was a freak accident.
817
00:37:42,562 --> 00:37:45,398
I mean, I-I feel bad
about it, really.
818
00:37:46,433 --> 00:37:47,734
I believe you, I do.
819
00:37:47,834 --> 00:37:51,037
I-I just, um, I'm trying
to square, you know...
820
00:37:51,137 --> 00:37:53,340
I mean, here's Felix,
he's throwing a no hitter.
821
00:37:53,440 --> 00:37:55,108
Why would you want
him out the game?
822
00:37:55,709 --> 00:37:58,478
Strip club after
the game, fellas!
823
00:37:58,578 --> 00:38:01,081
- [group] Hell yeah!
- Drinks on your boy!
824
00:38:04,250 --> 00:38:06,052
What's good, ball girl?
825
00:38:08,288 --> 00:38:09,356
I see.
826
00:38:09,456 --> 00:38:11,224
They spiked the gum
that killed Felix
827
00:38:11,324 --> 00:38:13,560
so that they could, uh, lose
the game and win the bet.
828
00:38:13,660 --> 00:38:15,604
It's not like we're talking
criminal masterminds here.
829
00:38:15,628 --> 00:38:17,764
All they gotta do is check
these guys' bank accounts.
830
00:38:17,864 --> 00:38:19,432
Yeah, but you need
a search warrant
831
00:38:19,532 --> 00:38:20,934
to check a bank account.
832
00:38:21,034 --> 00:38:23,970
Right now, there isn't
enough evidence to get one.
833
00:38:24,270 --> 00:38:25,270
I-I-I don't understand.
834
00:38:25,338 --> 00:38:27,049
They're just going to
let the ballpark close?
835
00:38:27,073 --> 00:38:28,108
That doesn't seem right.
836
00:38:28,208 --> 00:38:29,542
I mean, what about an autopsy?
837
00:38:29,642 --> 00:38:32,245
There's gotta be some
kind of, uh, evidence
838
00:38:32,345 --> 00:38:35,448
what kind of drug it was that
they put inside Felix's gum, no?
839
00:38:35,548 --> 00:38:38,351
Well, I asked my old partner to
send me a copy of the report.
840
00:38:38,451 --> 00:38:39,919
It should be getting
here any minute.
841
00:38:40,020 --> 00:38:41,588
- Hmm.
- [phone chimes]
842
00:38:43,189 --> 00:38:45,825
Okay, here's the autopsy report.
843
00:38:45,925 --> 00:38:47,027
Let's see.
844
00:38:47,494 --> 00:38:52,198
Uh, yep, death by
blunt force trauma.
845
00:38:52,565 --> 00:38:55,502
Let's see, did they
even do a tox report?
846
00:38:56,036 --> 00:38:58,538
Hey, uh, could I
take a look at that?
847
00:38:58,638 --> 00:39:00,306
Oh, sure, be my guest.
848
00:39:00,407 --> 00:39:01,574
Oh, thanks.
849
00:39:04,310 --> 00:39:07,180
I wanna save that
ballpark too, you know?
850
00:39:07,547 --> 00:39:10,583
My old man used to take
me there every weekend.
851
00:39:10,684 --> 00:39:13,219
There's nothing better
than a Sunday double header
852
00:39:13,319 --> 00:39:15,055
with your pops. [chuckles]
853
00:39:15,922 --> 00:39:18,391
Well, I don't even really
know what I'm looking at here,
854
00:39:18,491 --> 00:39:20,727
but I think it says here
that the ball was going
855
00:39:20,827 --> 00:39:22,262
over a hundred miles an hour.
856
00:39:22,362 --> 00:39:23,263
What's that?
857
00:39:23,363 --> 00:39:25,131
The ball that killed Felix,
858
00:39:25,231 --> 00:39:27,133
according to this
coroner's report,
859
00:39:27,233 --> 00:39:28,968
it looks like the skull fracture
860
00:39:29,069 --> 00:39:31,838
was caused by a ball
861
00:39:31,938 --> 00:39:35,175
that was over a
hundred miles an hour.
862
00:39:35,275 --> 00:39:36,275
Wow.
863
00:39:36,609 --> 00:39:39,279
I didn't think Rambo had
that kind of speed in him.
864
00:39:39,379 --> 00:39:41,114
Yeah, no shit, Benny. No shit.
865
00:39:41,214 --> 00:39:43,817
[machine rattling]
866
00:39:43,917 --> 00:39:45,185
Ah, shise.
867
00:39:45,285 --> 00:39:47,987
Come on, Rambo,
you Cold War relic.
868
00:39:48,088 --> 00:39:49,489
You can do better than that.
869
00:39:50,090 --> 00:39:52,092
Concentrate, concentrate!
870
00:39:52,192 --> 00:39:53,526
Let 'er rip!
871
00:39:56,096 --> 00:39:58,098
- [Russ] Hey.
- Oh!
872
00:39:58,198 --> 00:39:59,833
Benny said you wanted to talk.
873
00:39:59,933 --> 00:40:01,001
Yeah, hi, Russ.
874
00:40:01,101 --> 00:40:02,635
Quick question.
875
00:40:02,736 --> 00:40:04,204
Is there anyone on either team
876
00:40:04,304 --> 00:40:05,839
that can throw over a hundred?
877
00:40:05,939 --> 00:40:09,009
Nah, anyone throws that fast,
they're not doing it here.
878
00:40:09,109 --> 00:40:10,777
That's a ticket to the show.
879
00:40:11,845 --> 00:40:14,014
Yeah, that's what I thought.
880
00:40:14,114 --> 00:40:15,281
Why you wanna know?
881
00:40:15,382 --> 00:40:16,525
It's just the coroner, you know,
882
00:40:16,549 --> 00:40:18,018
he had mentioned
that the fastball
883
00:40:18,118 --> 00:40:19,486
that killed Felix, uh,
884
00:40:19,586 --> 00:40:21,688
well, it was going over
a hundred at least.
885
00:40:21,788 --> 00:40:24,858
And, uh, well, we all know
that Rambo here can't do that,
886
00:40:24,958 --> 00:40:27,127
and, and you can't either, so...
887
00:40:27,227 --> 00:40:28,395
Thanks a lot.
888
00:40:28,495 --> 00:40:29,638
No, I'm sorry, I didn't

lost your fastball

throw over 90 for years now.

all things considered,

[Russ] What?
935
00:42:27,013 --> 00:42:28,948
Well, uh, the other night
at the pub, you know,
936
00:42:29,049 --> 00:42:31,317
you said that you lost your
fastball and it was the truth.
937
00:42:31,418 --> 00:42:32,461
But then last night, you said
938
00:42:32,485 --> 00:42:33,696
the same thing,
and it was a lie.
939
00:42:33,720 --> 00:42:35,422
So sometime in between,
something happened
940
00:42:35,522 --> 00:42:39,192
that fixed that mental block
and got you your fastball back.
941

Well, cards on the table,
945
00:42:47,267 --> 00:42:48,644
I know that you guys
have been throwing
946
00:42:48,668 --> 00:42:50,737
these last few games,
and I also know
947
00:42:50,837 --> 00:42:52,272
that you spiked Felix's gum.
948
00:42:52,372 --> 00:42:53,707
Your buddy Carl admitted it.
949
00:42:54,040 --> 00:42:55,442
Jesus, Carl.
950
00:42:55,842 --> 00:42:58,945
Gotta say I didn't
think you were involved.
951
00:42:59,045 --> 00:43:00,222
Nah, 'cause, you
know, you didn't play
952
00:43:00,246 --> 00:43:02,248
during those last five
losses that scored you
953
00:43:02,349 --> 00:43:05,885
the big payout, and
also 'cause I liked you.
954
00:43:06,586 --> 00:43:09,022
But then, then I
put it together.
955
00:43:09,122 --> 00:43:11,825
You were supposed to start
that last game, not Felix.
956
00:43:11,925 --> 00:43:14,294
That's why the guys were
trying to get him out
957
00:43:14,394 --> 00:43:16,029
and get you in.
958
00:43:16,129 --> 00:43:17,430
Alright, fine.
959
00:43:17,530 --> 00:43:19,332
We threw those last
few games. So what?
960
00:43:19,432 --> 00:43:20,633
Have you seen our record?
961
00:43:20,734 --> 00:43:22,135
We were going to lose anyway.
962
00:43:22,235 --> 00:43:26,072
Gosh, cashing in on
your own failure.
963
00:43:26,473 --> 00:43:28,508
That's where you ended up.
964
00:43:29,142 --> 00:43:32,712
So you're born with this
one-in-a-million gift.
965
00:43:32,812 --> 00:43:34,080
And then, what?
966

I see.
970
00:43:45,458 --> 00:43:48,762
So that's what Felix told you
the night you murdered him,
971
