All language subtitles for Pretty Hard Cases S2E05

In a team 33 in Marshall Court, shots
fired, officer down. I need an

now! I think I know where the gun is.

No serial, untraceable.

Perfect thing to use if you want to kill
a cop.

Hey! What are you doing? You're a liar.
You said you wouldn't tell, I didn't do

anything. His fingerprints were all over
the gun.

And now, maybe Sergeant Beauchamp can
get some justice?

This kid didn't do it. Good.

Prove it. That was like old times.

You are not working with Len. I can work
with Len. Have you forgotten how much

he messed you up? Sam was right to call
me.

Friends respect boundaries.

I'm going to go home.

Because at least I've got a family to go
home to. No wonder you need a vision

board to connect with people.

Their drug runner's mother is Deputy
Mayor Marley Briggs. Your daughter is

smuggling drugs for the Pandia Kinsey.
She stays in our custody. She is not a

criminal. You have to let her go.

They will kill me. Who will? The son of
Jupiter, the Pandia Kinsey.

All of them. The coyotes.

I've got something in the works.

What?

You got another man I should know about?

A dozen.

It's three o 'clock.

And you didn't tell anyone that you were
moving him?

Nobody. I don't know what happened. Adam
must have tipped someone off.

Sorry. Oh, my bad. Sorry.

I just want to say... Please.

I just wanted to say that I think it's
really important that we talk about our

work... This is not the time to discuss
our personal stuff, okay? I'm really

glad to hear you say that.

I agree.

You agree?

I do.

I need to focus.

I can't let Michael be the damage to
this case, especially now that Adam

got killed.

I mean, clearly, this is the coyotes
that Adam was talking about. And if they

were behind his shooting, then they
probably could be behind Gabrielle's

shooting. And if we can prove that, then
we can prove that Richie Clark is

innocent.

Hmm.

So we are on the same page.

Not you.

No, no. Go ahead.

I wouldn't dream of it.

As we all now know, Adam Gentle was
murdered last night in our custody.

Survived by one very hairless dog.

An embezzler's best friend.

We know Adam Gentle laundered money for
a number of different criminal

enterprises. And we're narrowing in on
the mob.

The last call Adam made before his
arrest?

Niccolo Carbone. Excuse me, sir. We have
reason to believe it isn't just the

mafia. Uh, not following.

Before he was killed, sir, Adam implied
that there was a new alliance. Yeah, so

the mafia, bikers, and Pendia Kinsei out
of Mexico, and who knows who else. He

called them the coyotes, sir. This was
obviously a mafia execution.

No, it was a real thing. They have their
own hand signal. Look at this. That's a

coyote. It's got the ears, and that
could be the jaws of it.

If we could just look into this new
syndicate. It sounds more like a

theory, unless I missed something. Do
you have anything concrete?

Not like concrete, but more like mushy
granite.

Okay, let's leave this a homicide.
They'll be taking over Adam's case from

And as your new unit commander, I'll
remind you to stay out of their way and

offer your full cooperation.

Which is it?

Stay out of their way or fully
cooperate?

Whichever they need.

This is the day your life will surely
change.

Well, that didn't work.

Shanks would not have dismissed our
theory about Adam's ambush.

Mm -mm.

Can you believe that guy?

But her seat is still warm.

Do you have anything concrete?

Michaels was right.

Excuse me?

Listen, we need something concrete.
Prove that the Coyotes are real. Figure

who the other players are. Adam can't be
the only weak link. But figuring out

this Coyote alliance can take weeks,
months.

There's got to be something else in
Richie's fire. Duff, we have read that

like a hundred times. There is nothing
in there. There's nothing.

Look, all you have is the word Coyote.

There's nothing there either. Really?
Because words are things. You want to

who said that?

Maya Angelou. And the Coyote is the
closest thing we have to a suspect in

Gabrielle's shooting.

Even if it takes us a little bit longer
to get there, that thing is the best

shot we have at Clarion Ritchie. Well,
that thing might as well be a half

shot.

Well, I guess you better do your thing.

And you'll do yours.

Kelly. Let me help you with that.

No, I got it.

Wait a minute.

Really?

Now I'm starting to forget why I ever
liked you.

Hey, hey, hey. I'm trying to respect
your space.

Don't know how you're feeling after last
night.

Oh, it looks like it's a little too late
for you to be worried about being in my

face. No, it's fine by me. I'll be right
over once I'm done debriefing the

homicide. Oh, no, wait, Ashley.

You're right.

Maybe it's a good idea that we keep our
distance.

Last thing I need was Zowski seeing us
together.

Ah, that explains the stress phase.

I do not have stress. But if I did, it's
not about with Zowski.

Look, I've been over Richie Clark's
files a dozen times, and I've got

Well, it feels like you got nothing.

Start at the beginning.

Something my sponsor used to say when I
started getting clean.

Pretty sure that from a meme. Mr. Clark
has not been able to provide a solid

alibi.

I knew I liked you for a reason.

Oh, my gosh. Are you all right? Yeah,
I'm just great. I'm really good. It's

that oatmeal raisin cookies that look
like chocolate chip cookies are the

that I have trust issues. Do I have
anything on my... Am I good?

No, you're good. Okay, great. Are you
ready to hear my crazy coyote theory?

yeah, I am indeed. Okay, good, because I
have been doing some digging since the

debrief this morning, and bam!

Okay, wow. I don't mean bam like a gun,
because that's too soon. I'm just going

to put that away. I'm so sorry, Mr.
Gentle. Apologies.

Yeah, sure. Hey, where's Kelly? Isn't
she working this with you?

She's working on a different lead.

Okay. Okay.

So, what are we looking at here? Um,
okay.

Well, you're looking at a mosaic of
miscellaneous malefactors. Say that five

times fast. Sure. No,

stop. Okay.

We've got airplane Antonio, pink
cocaine. Mark Tremblay, the sons of

also pink cocaine. Mark Tremblay, a new
wave mafioso, Nicholas Carboni, shared

Adam as accountant, so I am betting that
Niccolo is also dealing what? Pink

cocaine. Yes.

Uh, okay, maybe.

It doesn't make them an alliance. They
could all have been buying separately

from Mexico.

Yeah, but remember what Adam said? He
said there are coyotes members

Okay, I want you to check this out. Look
at this. This is text messages that he

sent to Mark. Note the emoji on the
bottom. And this is text messages that

sent to Niccolo. Look at that. Look at
that. What's on the bottom? Let me hear

you say it. Oh, it's the same emoji.

Yes. Okay, so this emoji is this
alliance's version of an email

Ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding. Yes!

Yes! You're smelling what I'm cooking.
Look, it is the same emoji as the hand

gesture. Do they touch it?

Ow. Sorry. You okay? Yeah, they
shouldn't bite.

Okay, so if this is an alliance and if
this is their signature, Sam,

this could identify every player in
their network.

Hey, Richie.

I brought you something.

Oh.

Remember when we used to play horse?

We'd bet a bag of these every time, and
somehow you always ended up going home

with them, even when you lost.

How you holding up, huh?

Any problems on the range?

Question.

Have you ever seen either one of these
guys before?

How about the Coyotes? Ever heard of
them? It's some new gang alliance.

Is it my turn?

Yeah. Are you dumb?

Well, it's debatable.

Why?

You're the reason I'm in here.

And now you're trying to get me to
snitch on some randoms I've never seen

to help you. Bridget, I'm trying to help
you.

Okay? Look, you know what?

Forget about those guys.

So where were you the night of the
shooting?

Your file says you don't have an alibi,
but you had to be somewhere.

You know, when you first walked into the
community center, you talked a big game

about building bridges between Marshall
Court and the cops.

Me, Dane, everybody, we just laughed.

We thought you were crazy.

Then you started coaching the ball team.

I don't know.

For some reason, for a second, I thought
I could trust you.

You can trust me.

And, Richie, you have to.

Because if you don't talk to me, you're
going to spend the next ten years in a

jail cell for a crime that we both know
you didn't commit.

So now I'm just supposed to trust you.

Because you said I can.

I did.

Then it's over. Wait, wait, wait. Go
even, please.

Go. Richie, I'm going to get you out of
here, okay?

Buddy!

Okay, Bingo Ramirez, known associate of
the Uptown Killers, used the same emoji

to end off a text thread with Adam on
May 5th.

It's like I'm in the lead. No, you're
not, you're not. Stop. Wait, I found

something in Adam's file. Okay, can you
look up Will French, please?

Why do I know that name?

Oh, la, la.

Look at that. Will French.

I wonder what else he will do. Do you
hear what I did with the... Very cute.

That is right. He is that park bench
real estate agent. He didn't just sell

properties. He flips them.

And it looks like he is having an open
house today for Mimico.

So why is this guy using the coyote
emoji?

I don't know.

Home purchases, renovation costs.

Maybe he's a surrogate. Maybe Squeaky
Clean Will is buying and selling

properties for the coyotes to clean
their dirty, dirty money. What won't

do? Again, I did the, did you see that?

Why don't we look into him and see if we
can find something on him, check out

his properties, see if he's involved.

Okay, what are we thinking here, like an
intel gathering up, a bump?

Oh, are we talking about, you see, maybe
we should wait for Duff, you know, the

Nicholson? No, we should go with... Star
bro stool.

He's got this.

Besides, Bingo put me in the lead, all
right? I found the most coyote fillers.

don't think that you did. Did you look
at my list? I don't remember. My list

huge. Actually, I did.

Wow. He's in the lead a lot.

And Bingo was his name -o.

Hey. Hey.

Where is everybody?

I think Barb took the kids out for ice
cream.

Okay.

So do you want to go out and eat or are
you just going to lie around moping

about purse boy all day?

I'm not moping. I'm broke as a joke.
Plus, Barbara said she was going to make

her secret pasta sauce later tonight.
No. The secret is barbecue sauce. You'd

rather starve. Trust me.

Okay. But luckily, you don't have to.

Money. How did you get that?

Probably the same way you got your
savings to pay for your mom's lawyer.

Okay. I know hustlers.

Dude, I am one. You are not. You are
smart. You are an honor student.

Yeah, well, Honor World doesn't pay the
bills.

I'm on my own in two months.

Hey, it's fine. It's just until I save
enough for rent and school.

All right. Well, what's the hustle?

Pretty easy, actually. This guy I know,
Tobin, he gets me to move stuff, like

pick up and deliver stuff. Deliver what?

I don't know what's inside.

Hey, Tobin said not to open that. Well,
I think personally that Tobin should try

using reverse psychology.

Jackie, Jackie, don't!

Huh.

I picked it up and I brought it straight
here.

Where's whatever's supposed to be
inside?

Oh, man, I think Tobin got played.

What are you going to do now, hustler?

Drop off tomorrow.

It's fine.

Tobin knows I would never rip him off.

I'm going to handle it.

I'm going to handle it.

Listen, I'm here because I want to help
Richie, and I know you can help her.

I know you can help her. Trust me.

Dame, Dame.

Listen, Richie is not doing well.

If you saw something the night of that
shooting, you can tell me.

Please.

Please. You're dumb.

Apparently, yes.

I'm still asking. You ever heard of a
gang called the Coyotes?

Why are you riding me?

Think I want to end up like Richie?

Hey, Crystal, thanks for meeting me.
What's this about? I need your help

with Richie.

He won't talk to me.

Come on.

Friends. At least we used to be. Look,
we both want the same thing here.

Don't. Don't try to make us the same.

I work with these kids every day.

I do anything for any one of these kids.
Oh, yeah?

Because if you were really looking out
for these kids, you wouldn't be hanging

out with Keegan if you knew what he did.
I do know.

He told me.

I said you came back around and you'd
only be a matter of time before I found

out.

Okay.

Keegan's out of the picture.

And yeah, he made a terrible mistake.

But at least he never stopped showing
up.

You know, after Keegan and I fell out, I
started avoiding everything that we did

together.

Poker night, food truck, even our work
here.

And that was wrong, Crystal. I know
that.

You know, I miss this place.

Richie, Dane, the others, I mean, they
used to practically live in there.

Yeah.

The city shut it down about a month
after you left.

The kids were so crushed when we had to
cancel the basketball program.

It's too bad.

It was a good team.

Mad skills, mad skills, we got mad
skills.

You stay undefeated because we do our
drill. If you trying to play us, you

better have a will. Mad skills, mad
skills, we got mad skills.

Look, I made a few calls about this
place.

There's somebody I want you to meet.

Coming in loud and clear. Okay,
remember, just be yourself.

Lean into what's real. Three years of
improv at Tuckin City.

I got that.

Right on the target.

Hello.

Okay, Nathan, show me what you got. Move
in.

You must be Will French.

I've seen your face on a few bus stops
lately.

I know.

It's horrifying.

I hate myself, but business is business.

Hey, everybody's got to have a gimmick,
right?

Absolutely. You know what mine is?

Total discretion.

That's a great suit.

Plastic surgeon.

Comes with the territory.

I could have given you a nose job
yesterday.

Never let on.

That is good to know.

But what about genioplasty?

Not saying I'm thinking about it, except
maybe I'm thinking about it.

Yes, and... Okay, that's the signal. Our
boy needs backup. Hang

in there, Dr.

Griffin.

Pretty sure I don't need my knees done.

Okay, but my approach is holistic.

Chin implant.

Chin, chin, chin implant.

Facial harmony. What the hell is facial
harmony?

Listen, I'd love to take your money, but
I have to say your chin is pretty

solid.

If you came here looking for a deal,

you just might find one. Is that a
birthmark?

What's your name?

Charlie Griffin.

Charlie Griffin.

I just might call you Doc.

Suits me fine.

Let me show you the house.

Dr. Griffin.

My boy right there.

Thank you so much, Miss Briggs, for
coming.

Detective Duff.

Nice to put a face to the voice and a
rather persuasive voice at that.

I would like you to meet Crystal Smith.

former director of programming and
community services here at the center.

nice to meet you, Ms. Smith.

I'm glad you made the time, Deputy
Mayor.

Well, Detective Duff here was very
convincing.

So, this is the place that's going to
save my reputation.

Yep, this is it.

Not exactly as I imagined, but I'm here
now, so let's hear the pitch.

You know where you're standing, Deputy
Mayor. It's Marshall Court.

One of the city's most publicized
neighborhoods when it comes to gun

And drug abuse.

But there is so much more to this
community.

With over 50 ethnicities reported on our
local census, it's one of the most

diverse communities and voter
demographics in the city.

We look out for each other.

And we take notice when people look out
for us, too.

A little help from City Hall could go a
long way.

It helps shift the focus of the press in
your favor since Lorraine's arrest.

Your daughter may have been a part of
the problem, but you could be part of

solution.

Fine.

Come here.

Right this way.

It's a great house.

I'm just not sold on the neighborhood.

It's pretty dull.

Do you have any listings anywhere else?

This guy's got places all over the city.

Yeah, tell me about it. He even has a
place up north. You know what? Will has

mentioned every place in the GTA except
for one.

You can ask him about Port Credit.

And the bridal pass.

I mean, you're living on the same street
with Drake.

What about Port Credit?

Brother West, anything over there?

Easy, Dr.

Griffin. Come on, come on, come on,
Nathan. Lean into what's real.

Why Port Credit?

That's just my dad.

No, he's 64.

Still works over at the Ford plant near
Burlington.

He used to drive me through that area
after work as a kid.

Yeah, we'd pick out our favorite houses
and talk about med school.

Dream big, you know?

I guess I've always wanted something in
that area ever since.

I know you.

You're a dreamer.

And I know that feeling.

It's a $215 pocket square. These are $1
,800 shoes. And if you saw where I grew

up... Now, look, I haven't moved my
business that far west yet.

But if I come across something, I'm
going to holler at you, Doc.

Do I got your number?

You can certainly have it.

All right, let me grab you a car.

Okay.

This doesn't make sense.

The title is from the land registry.
It's up to date. I mean, it says right

he owns 2621 Stadner Street in Port
Credit.

Yeah, it's not listed on his site
either.

So, what's Will hiding in Port Credit?

Look, I know it's a fixer -upper, Deputy
Mayor, but... Yeah, perfect.

I'll support the funding.

I'll run it through my emergency fund,
and I'll have workers here as early as

next month. Thank you, Ms. Briggs. I'll
have my publicist, Patty, give you a

call to set up a photo op.

Monday okay?

You can round up a few kids.

Actually, one last thing.

We want to rename the center.

It's named after a former slave owner,
and the city turned down a last

I think that's a fantastic idea.

Really? Mm -hmm.

Hey, we were thinking the Donald Moore
Recreation Center.

Or Chantal Dunn.

Yeah.

Maybe Jean Augustine.

The Briggs Legacy Center has a really
nice ring to it, don't you think?

Float it by your people, see how it
fares. Thank you. Detective, pleasure.

Miss Smith, I'll be in touch.

Sure will.

Thank you so much.

The Briggs. Legacy?

It's better than no. I mean, it is
better. Okay.

Okay,

listen. You were good, okay? Dr.
Griffin, great. But, I mean, he's no

Scarborough Stool, fam.

I'll bet you a roti anapati.

How about that?

Yeah.

Anyway, I should go.

Okay, peace.

Nathan's got eyes on will still.

Nathan's got eyes on something because
this property is vacant.

That's Hungarian.

No, is that Swedish? I don't know.

French. Yes. Yeah. Great. Yeah, that's
good.

Well, listen, good news is that if it is
vacant, we can get in there to check it

out without a warrant. Better news is
surrogates sometimes buy houses for

underground criminals to hide out in, so
if Will is a coyote surrogate and he's

lying about owning a house... This could
be a coyote hideout.

Hey,

I got you something.

No meal, no raises.

Thank you.

You're welcome.

Um, can I ask you a question?

I just, like, noticed that you and
Nathan, like, got in close these past

months, and I just wonder, and it's no
big deal, but, like, do you guys ever

just thought to go from, like, bromance
to no -mance?

Wow. Uh, you know, come to think of it,
no.

No. Of course. Yeah.

What's the, um...

Like, if you had a secret, what would
that be? Like, to your bro bond? What do

you guys... Is it, like, do you go to a
hot tub? Because they're nice. Or hot

yoga, that's a good thing to do
together.

Probably do that. Or maybe hot tub yoga,
because that's a really wonderful thing

to try.

What is it? That's not a thing. It's a
real thing. I don't think so. No, it's

excellent. It's a really excellent
thing.

No, listen.

Truth is, we show up at work, we have
each other's back, and we get the job

done. Yeah, of course. You keep it
profesh. Like, you don't...

Axe throwing.

No, sleepovers. Why would we ever do
that? So that's great.

Right. Good.

Is it really about me and Nathan?

What?

Oh, my God.

What's he doing?

Is he fumigating?

I don't know, but we've got to get in
that house.

I mean, is it safe?

I thought just the same.

I wasn't even out there when that cop
got shot.

I still need more than that, Richie.

Look, even if you don't trust me after
today, you trust Crystal, right?

So where were you?

I was at the community center.

With who?

By myself.

Really?

Believe what you are.

It doesn't matter. I can't prove it. I'm
sorry.

Sorry. I believe you. I believe you,
okay?

What were you doing there by yourself?

I was shooting around.

Poor choice of words.

Just saying.

You still trash your horse, though?

Okay.

Okay, trash is an overstatement. I'm
better than you.

I still got mad skills even at my age,
OK?

Right, right.

I was going to try out for the ball team
when I got to college.

I guess it's not happening now.

Hey, hey, hey, hey. Look at me.

Look at me. We're getting you out of
here, OK?

We're going to get you cleared.

OK. OK.

Um, I was at the community center today.
I thought only Crystal had keys to get

in. So how did you?

My grandfather used to be the custodian.

I still have his keys.

Did you ask him for the keys the night
of the shooting? Maybe he's your alibi.

You think I haven't thought of that?

He left his keys behind when he moved to
the nursing home.

Are we going to talk about the fact that
you just had these on hand?

No, thank you.

Upstairs is clear.

Yeah, down here too.

What's back there?

It's a pantry.

Yeah, it's a pantry, but with another
door inside.

I know. I checked it already. It's
locked.

I figured it connected to the garage. I
was going to check on our way out.

I don't think it's locked. I think it's
just stuck. You know what I'm going to

do? I'm going to start back here.

Yeah? I'll give myself like a run and
start like this.

They're gonna come at it, bam, and I'm
gonna kick it like... Yeah!

What?

He's just really cute.

Funny, I have never been more attracted
to you. Really? Yeah.

Is it the whole full -body condom suit
that's doing it for you? It definitely

is. Protection is, like, super high. It
is, right?

Sam!

Are you okay?

I'm okay.

Oh, God.

I guess it wasn't just an empty pantry.

I know a lot of this stuff.

The separatory funnel.

It's a robo -tub vacuum.

These are TLC plates.

I mean, I could keep going.

Okay. Acetone? This, ladies and
gentlemen, and our non -binary friends,

indeed a drug lab.

Was?

Well, yeah. I mean, the tools are all
here, but there's no drugs.

And the acetone's probably used to clean
it all up.

Find anything?

Uh, I don't know. Just like a bunch
of...

really ugly lady suitcases, obviously
designed by men, but... I don't know. Do

you think, uh... they were used to
transport drugs?

It's possible.

Maybe the lab can tell us.

Yeah. We should call this one to Nathan.
Okay. Come on.

Let's get the hell out of here. Yeah.

Okay.

But you haven't been back at Marshall
Court in a pack of minutes.

All right, thank you for your time, Mr.
Clark.

Yes, I'm doing everything I can to help
your grandson.

Mm -hmm.

Okay.

Take care.

Oh, my gosh.

So your mom finally driving you out your
own house?

Almost, but this doesn't belong to me.

Who is it, then?

Uh, possibly the coyotes.

Who's that guy?

This is Will French, park bench real
estate mogul. He owns an empty house in

Port Credit where we found the remnants
of a possible coyote drug lab.

Okay, so did you bring him in? I mean,
maybe he knows something about

Gabrielle's shooting?

Well, the property was vacant and the
drugs were gone, so we have plausible

deniability.

So... So you have nothing.

Except for that.

Hoping the lab will be able to tell us
if there were drugs inside.

What's that?

Could be nothing, but you should get
your guy to the lab to test it when

down there.

Thank you.

Yeah.

So, um, what happened to Richard Clark?

You know, I realized he never disclosed
his alibi, so I went to go see him.

Said he was playing basketball at the
Rundown Community Center, but he was

alone, so... No street cams?

Nope, I checked. I checked everything.

You know what? Sometimes two nothings
make a something.

And it sounds like a meme.

No. Third year of criminology class.
Professor Graham, he looked a lot like

Selleck, so I paid close attention.

What? Let's go do what we do.

Go where?

Martial court.

In the meantime, I'm going to get Nuz.

Drop this down to the lab.

Let's go!

No, the dim lights aren't working
either.

Are you really practicing your jump shot
right now?

Read the room without a key.

Technically, that doesn't make sense
given there's only two people in the

Well, technically, your form is
ridiculous.

But we don't have time for this right
now.

Take a shot. Trust me.

You know,

I haven't missed a free throw in this
gym in 2018.

That doesn't count. It was too dark in
there.

Exactly. There's no light. And Richard
says he was here at night.

I wish he was lying, or... There's still
electricity in this place.

It's a smaller one.

It's a smaller one.

It's a smaller one.

Fine. I'm going to use this one.

This might be.

Voila. Right.

A small one.

And on the first day.

Oh, yes.

It was light.

Yeah. Yeah, it's on over here, too.

All right. Let's go to the gym. Maybe
there's something there.

Maybe there's something right here.

If Richie had to turn the breakers on to
use the gym, I could probably switch

the security systems on, too.

Yeah. Alright, let's go.

Do not open it.

Nanique, you got something for me?

Hey, Tobin.

Look, this is exactly how I got it. I
didn't open it and I didn't take

I swear.

Good job.

Being cut soon.

A couple times of shooting.

Um, 10 .05 p .m.

You really think he spent three hours in
the gym by himself?

I don't know.

He was probably on a try -not -work -out
routine.

Oh. Uh -oh.

He did get better.

Come on, come on, come on.

Just a few more minutes.

10 .05!

Hello. We got something.

Yep, yep. Okay.

We're gonna... So this little piece of
pink rubber that you found, live results

came back. Let me guess.

Cocaine? How'd you know?

Eh, I've seen this stuff before.

They turn the coke solid so it's hard to
spot and easy to smuggle in. I mean...

It's been disguised as printer toner,
metal moldings. Suitcase lining.

It's suitcase lining. Exactly.

And that equipment that we found in that
basement lab is what Hazmat, presumably

the coyote chemist, was using to turn it
back into its powder form.

Same cocaine as Anthony, same cocaine as
the bikers. Adam, Mark, Niccolo, Bingo

Ramirez, they're all working as part of
the same network. All signing their

texts with that same coyote emoji.

All moving that same pink cartel
cocaine.

Yeah, Sam was right. This is huge.

Well, partially right. I had some
friends in fraud spend the day going

Will French's finances.

All his home purchases are with clean
money.

Renovations, too. He is not a coyote
surrogate.

So they're using this guy's property as
a pink coke lab for the pandemia, can't

they? Exactly.

It doesn't make any sense. Why risk all
that clean money to align with these

guys? So we have to keep tabs on Will
French.

He may not be our surrogate, but he is
definitely our way in.

Richie Clark is getting out.

What?

I thought you wanted us to keep our
distance.

I've ceased to care about that. Look,
I'm happy.

You're happy. So let's just try being
happy.

I'm a grown -ass woman.

I don't need to sneak around.

Good.

I'll see you at your place later.

Sounds good.

Sounds real good.

Okay.

Ready? Yeah.

Duff, I've been thinking the night...

I just wanted to say... Okay, Sam,
please, I already told you, I don't want

talk about what happened with us.
Neither do I.

Listen, I've been thinking and... I try
so hard to be your

friend.

Really hard.

And I really just keep messing up the
one thing that we do well together.

So, what?

I'm thinking maybe we just keep it
profesh.

What do you think?

I think the word profesh is the variant
of the system of professionalism.

But I think maybe you're right.

Okay.

I'm ready.

So, what's the word?

Richie will be fully exonerated. Now,
it'll take a few days, but it's your

thing.

If you don't mind, I'm going to call his
grandfather.

Of course.

Thanks.

How's that for building a bridge? A
tenuous bridge, but a bridge

Detective Duff, can I talk to you right
quick?

Off the book?

If I share something with you, this
better not be another Richie situation.

I get it.

Understood. I wasn't completely honest
with you earlier.

About what?

That night that cop got shot.

Some guy paid me $200 to set off some
fireworks by that shot -tipper thingy.

Wait, wait, wait. You have a friend in
jail. You have information that could

help. You don't come forward?

In this neighborhood, we know better
than to trust cops.

Richie knew the risk he was taking
talking to you guys. He gets that.

But what you did for Marshall Court
today, Richie and the community center,

you're all right.

The guy who paid you off, who do you
look like?

Nah, it was dark.

This guy had to be white.

He had this massive red hickey on his
neck, like this thing was huge, fam.

Thanks, appreciate it. Okay.

Hey, hey, hey, hold on, hold on, hold
on.

Is that how you saw, look like him?

Yeah, that hickey's still.

Well, y 'all know where to find me.

Do you know what it means?

Little French probably lured us here.
Little French could be Gabrielle
