Previously on Wild Cards. I know who killed your brother.

I've been waiting for over a year for breaking this case. You can't be

What do you got, Ricky?

Ellis has found him. His name is Billy O 'Brien, nicknamed Zippo. He's a mob

enforcer. We missed him. He had a police scanner in there. He must have known we

were coming. Damn it.

So this parole board walks into a bar.

Bartender says, hey guys, how about a round on the house?

And they say, sure, as long as no one's expecting any good behavior from us

tonight.

room George Graham this parole board has been convened to determine your

potential or lack thereof for reintegration and risk to the community

aware the initial term of your incarceration has been truncated due to

daughter's cooperation with the police and I want you to know how grateful I am

for this opportunity we need more than gratitude we need assurance that you

understand the impact of your crimes on your victims genuine insight can be a

strong indicator of personal growth absolutely

The time I've had inside these walls has given me a lot of opportunity to

reflect and understand how I came to be here.

I've been doing this a long time, Mr. Graham, but this situation is unusual to

say the least. So this is your time to tell us what you've learned and why we

should believe that you are now ready to become a law -abiding citizen.

Like most life stories you've probably heard, mine begins with a mixed -up

childhood. I won't bore you with the whole soap opera, but the bottom line is

the time I was 16, I was out and on my own.

Go on.

With no parents, no family, and no money, the streets will chew you up and

you out unless you figure out how to survive.

I was at my lowest, most desperate moment when I met someone who taught me

to do just that.

He became my mentor, teaching me the craft of the con artist trade.

I knew it was wrong, but when you don't know where your next meal is coming

from, you do what you have to do just to eat.

Anyway, in time, he became like a father to me.

So I worked really hard at everything he taught me.

And the harder I worked, the better I did, the more proud of me he became.

So where did all that get me?

In here.

There's so much I want to do with the time I have left on earth.

I want to give back to people, not take from them. I want to be a contribution

to society, not a detriment. But most importantly, I want to be a proper

to my daughter.

I want to be the kind of father I never had.

Nothing means more to me than that.

Hallelujah. Fresh air, sunshine.

Davis, my man, this is a two -clam day.

I don't get it.

Well, you know happy is a clam?

This is definitely a two -clam.

I guess we both have good reasons to celebrate today.

I asked my girl to marry me.

Really? Well, congratulations.

You're a good man, Davis. You're going to make a great husband.

I couldn't have done it without your help or advice.

Really good at this relationship stuff.

People are my business.

Listen, if there's any way I can ever repay you, you'll be the first to know.

Sweet, sweet freedom.

Hey! We did it!

You did it.

Both of you did it.

This is only the beginning, guys. What's going on with our other project?

One last piece to fall into place. And then we'll be sitting pretty.

When can I see it?

Patience, young grasshopper. You wouldn't rush Picasso, would you? No,

forge him. I mean, any five -year -old with a sharpie could see what you did.

Dad, you just got out of prison.

You know what? You're right.

Let's get out of here.

I never want to see this godforsaken place again.

Want to give it a try?

Take that as a yes.

We did it!

I can't believe it.

We did it!

Hey, Chief. What's going on?

You sitting down? I got news.

Sounds like bad news.

On the contrary.

I've just been informed the federal authorities have caught your brother's

killer.

And voila!

Home sweet home.

Wow.

Wanky. Yeah. Lots of period details.

Original flooring and gobs of natural light. As long as there's no bars on the

windows, I'm happy.

You guys look pretty settled in here.

I thought this place was just temporary until I got out.

Yeah, for sure. There's nothing here we can't leave behind in a flash. No

attachments. Material, emotional, or otherwise.

Eh, Mac?

Yes.

Absolutely.

That's all of us.

What's new from Talldark and Surly? I'm so sorry, guys. Um, I gotta get to the

station. Now? I thought you were all done with that cop stuff.

I'm out. You're off the hook.

Yeah, I just got a few loose ends to tie up, okay? It won't be long. I just got

out. You're leaving already?

Stop pouting. Ricky's gonna make you lunch, and then I'll be right back,

Mwah.

Loose ends of my ass. Something's up.

Ah, don't mind her.

Okay, are you hungry?

Am I hungry?

Does Rick Springfield wish he had Jessie's girl? Can Jack Nicholson handle

truth? Does Kim Kardashian have a juice? Okay, okay.

Let me get you something.

In the meantime... What's this?

There's some videos you're going to want to see. Come on, Ricky. I'm not that

lonely. Not those kind of videos.

Sit. Watch.

George?

Take your time with these.

It's a lot to take in.

Well, hello, old friend.

Well, here we are.

Hey, I got your identity card.

That's Billy O 'Brien, otherwise known as Dippo. And we're sure that's him?

We're about to find out.

Kid was in the wrong place at the wrong time.

Tough luck for him, but I had to take him out.

Well, I heard the kid had a brother who's a cop. Name is Cole Ellis.

I don't need to worry.

They got no connection to me.

Hey, I gotta go.

What's your voice up, Bo?

Not much point in denying it.

Yes, it is.

So you admit to shooting Daniel Ellis two years ago?

You already got me admitting to that in the recording.

What more do you want? I want to know who hired you. In my business, you don't

ask for names.

I get the call, I do the job.

What did you mean when you said Daniel Ellis was in the wrong place at the

time? That's all he told me.

I don't know what place or what time, but the kid must have seen something he

should not.

I didn't get any more details because it's none of my business.

Who was the client? I told you, I don't know. You're lying. And you're taking

the path.

I give you a name and I get shipped in the shower.

I suck it up, I do my time.

15 to 20, I'm back on the streets, alive.

Show's over, folks.

Get me a lawyer!

No.

No, this is far from over.

Zippo was just the trigger man, and you know it. Somebody else ordered that hit,

and we need to find out who and why. That's true.

We need to press him harder.

He's signing a full confession right now. He's accepted the maximum sentence.

The prosecutor's drawing up the paperwork as we speak.

So where's the task force that was assigned to this? What do they have to

Both this department and our federal colleagues have spent an enormous amount

time, money, and manpower to find this person. What's that supposed to mean?

That they just gave up? They don't care anymore?

It means I share your frustration.

Look, if we keep pressing him now, he could give us everything.

With a full confession, we don't have any leverage over him.

Then pull the deal. That would mean taking this to trial. The prosecutor

not risk losing a slam -dunk conviction on a murderer.

So now after two years of tracking down every lead, turning over every stone,

obsessing over every detail, when we are literally this close to getting the

whole truth, you want me to just stop?

You?

Yes.

Any further attempt on your part to force the issue could be construed as a

conflict of interest and may actually jeopardize the conviction. Is that what

you want?

Alice, we are family in this department. I give you my word.

I will keep this case open and alive until every last person involved is

You and Max have done an amazing job the last few months.

And, of course, we'd like all our cases to be wrapped up with a neat little bow,

but you know, things rarely work out like that.

That is not good enough for me.

And it shouldn't be.

And I hope we get all the answers someday. But for now, I need you to

that this is as far...

As it may go.

To that effect, why don't you take a few days off?

No.

No.

Not when I'm this close.

For your own well -being.

It's a lot to process.

Right now, your job is to take care of yourself.

You know what? I'm going to leave before I say something I regret.

Max. Max. Let him blow off some steam.

He's right.

We're so close to the whole truth.

If we just keep investigating... You're forgetting there is no we anymore.

Your father's been released from prison and my dream team is done.

Yeah, technically. But I am more than happy to see this through.

Max. I am very proud of the way you've turned your life around and all you and

Elizabeth accomplished.

To be honest, your success rate has also helped my campaign for mayor.

The election's still a couple days away, but I'm ahead by three points.

Well, I'm happy for you, but I don't... All good things must come to an end.

Must they?

Commissioner, your car is ready.

You'll have to excuse me. I'm, um...

Cooking risotto on the morning TV show. That's politics for you.

Cheer up, Max.

As my campaign says, there are better days ahead.

Anybody order some deep -fried comfort food?

I told Ronnie you were having a tough day, so he gave me extra packets of that

date blow orange sauce that you like.

Well, thanks, but I don't have much of an appetite.

Talk to me.

What do you want me to say, Max?

I'm happy we caught this shooter, that I have some overwhelming sense of

closure, because I don't. I want you to tell me the truth.

The truth is, for the first time in my career, I honestly don't care about the

rules anymore.

I'm not going to let this go. I can't just put it aside and wait.

I don't want him this close.

Well, you heard Russo. She's not letting you anywhere near this case.

And Yates, Simmons, Lee, they can't help you either.

I know.

God, if I could just get Zippo alone and talk to him.

He knows more than he's telling.

Well, he's in the system now, so you can't get to him without anyone finding

out.

But I think I know someone who can.

Maybe because I'm getting older, or maybe because today is Father's Day.

But I've been thinking a lot lately about my dad.

I was an only child, and I grew up in a small town, and we always had next to

nothing. And when my dad came back from Vietnam, he tried his best to hold it

together. But then we lost Mom to cancer, and then we lost the house, and

that, well, I guess he just couldn't do it anymore.

So one morning, I woke up alone in our cheap motel room.

And this bag was next to my bed with all my clothes and comic books, deck of

cards, and this note pinned to a $10 bill.

I am so proud of you and the man that you have become.

Take care, son.

I was 13 years old, and I never saw him again. But I understood what he was

going through, and I didn't blame him. Hell, he knew I knew what to do.

And it turned out this bag was the best thing he could have ever left me.

You don't believe you can fit your whole life into a sack this size. That is,

until you feel the heat coming for you. Then you'll find room to spare.

Because nothing, absolutely nothing matters more than your own freedom.

And you know, over the years, I always wondered if we'd ever run into each

again. And for all I know, maybe we did somewhere. We just didn't recognize each

other.

Go figure.

So glad you're back.

Hey, Dad.

It's good to see you, too.

Everything okay?

I just want to let you know I'm never going to leave you again, honey.

Got it.

Whatever you need, honey. I'll always be here for you.

Thanks, Dad. You're the best.

Ellis? George?

Congrats on the early release.

Couldn't have done it without the two of you, so from my heart, thanks.

Well, I'm glad you're in such a grateful mood.

Why? We need a favor.

Actually, I need a favor. Of course. You've given me the greatest gift of

freedom. And thanks to you, I'll never set foot on those concrete floors or lay

eyes on that barbed wire ever again.

The least I could do is try to make it up to you two. How can I help?

We need you to go back to prison.

George, you know you don't have to do this. I mean, you did just get released

few hours ago. Atlas had almost as much to do with my early release as Max did.

And now he's the one that needs help, and you know the rule.

Yeah, always lend a hand to those who need it.

There's our guy.

David. George. Hey.

What's going on? Looks like I'm cashing in that favor a little earlier than I

expected. Of course, anything.

What do you need?

You ever hear of a rooftop handshake?

What are we doing on the roof?

Hey! You Zippo?

Who's asking?

I'm Snake Eyes. This is my associate, Crazy Pete.

You don't want to know how we got that name. Now we're going to ask you a few

questions. You make it easy, you can go back to your cozy six -inch spring

mattress. You make it hard, you can take a dive off that roof.

You understand?

And who the hell are you?

Long answer.

Come on.

Now look, we're just looking for some friendly information.

You killed a man with connections, so we're going to need some answers about

death of Danielella. I'm not telling you a damn thing.

So be it.

Pull me

down! Pull me down! Happy to.

Don't think you'd be happy with the fall at the end. Okay, please, man, I'll

tell you whenever you want.

Don't kill me. All right, then, fill it. They made me wait for him in the alley.

Oh, between 12th and Main Street at 9.

Kill him! Kill him when he arrives!

And then drop the body across town in the park up at 3rd. Okay, they wanted me

to make it look like a mogul. Why?

I don't know.

Okay, I was just following orders. Who gave the order? I had a guy who used to

throw jobs my way, all right?

Reggie Babs.

What? Reggie was an inmate here.

Got the shiv six months ago.

That's all I know. Okay, I swear, I swear, please don't throw me over.

Get gone, warm breath.

Thanks, Davis.

I'm kidding.

This was fun.

I feel like I was on the wire.

Oh, you're fine.

You sure this held a zipper on you? Trust me, if he knew anything else, he

have shared. That guy was squirming for his life. Now it finally makes sense.

The body was moved.

I always thought it was strange that nobody heard a gunshot in the park.

By the look of the alleyway at 12th and Mill Street, it's totally deserted.

Yeah, perfect place to kill somebody.

All right, so we have some new information. What now?

Now we talk to Tyson.

Who's Tyson?

He's a kid Daniel used to work with. He'd be in his 20s by now. He aged out

the system and fell back in with a rough crowd, so Daniel started playing

basketball with him on Tuesdays to help him get back on track.

Including the Tuesday that Daniel was murdered? Tyson said he was playing

basketball with Daniel the night he was killed, but that can't be true. Zippo

killed him across town at the same time.

Why would Tyson lie?

That's what we've got to find out.

Tyson? Hey, I'm Daniel's brother.

Appreciate you talking with me.

I was hoping to ask you a few questions.

Is this going to take long?

I just got off work.

I already told the police everything I knew back then. Look, they just picked

Daniel's shooter.

And we're going over the case files one last time.

Can you tell me about that night?

Daniel and I shot some hoops, like always.

And, um... Who won?

Uh, me.

Then the next day I heard that Daniel got killed. And I was like, whoa.

Shocked, you know?

What time did you guys meet up at?

Nine. Nine.

You sure it was nine? Yeah. Yeah, we always met at nine.

Are we done?

Yeah. That's great, Tyson.

Thank you.

Well? You're definitely lying.

Did you get anything else out of it?

No, but I didn't expect to.

Then why bother talking to him?

So we could fall.

He was so nervous when I was interviewing him, I knew he'd run right

got him to lie.

Then this place must be connected to Daniel's head.

That's what I'm thinking. Could even be a hub for whoever hired Zippo.

So who owned it?

Elena Ramos.

She's owned the Granville Jazz Club for the last six years.

Does Elena have a criminal record?

Nothing to speak of.

Divorced. 18 -year -old kid named Samson.

Samson Ramos.

God, I know that name.

Ricky, look in the box that I left there. It's Daniel's case files.

There's a list of all the kids that Daniel worked with. It should be the

one right on top.

Can you check and see if Samson was one of them? Yep, here it is.

You were right.

I knew it.

There's a note here that says Samson was never questioned by the police.

What does it all mean?

We just got one step closer to solving Daniel's murder.

Cynthia Smith?

That's right. Hi.

I'm Cole Ellis, Daniel's brother. The detective.

I remember you. We met at Daniel's funeral.

I'm sorry. That day, the blur for me. Of course.

What can I help you with? I was looking for some more information on a kid that

Daniel was working with here at the center.

Why? There's been a development in Daniel's case.

Well, I think we both know any information concerning our kids here is

confidential. I know. And I understand.

But...

Look, this kid could be the key to solving Daniel's case.

Come with me.

I'll tell you what I can for Daniel.

Thank you.

What was this boy's name?

Samson Ramos.

Oh, wow.

Samson.

When he first came to us, he had already fallen in with some bad people. He was

a tough case. I couldn't even get through to him. But Daniel, he saw

in him.

A sort of thoughtfulness.

Daniel could see the good in just about anybody.

Well, one day, I caught the kid with drugs here at the center.

So what happened? Did you kick him out? Nope.

Daniel made it his personal mission to make sure he got through to Samson.

So with Daniel's help, he turned things around? Oh, yeah.

180 degrees.

Before long, Samson was mentoring other kids here at the center.

Daniel saved that kid's life.

Do you know where he is now? No idea.

He came by here looking for Daniel the day after he got killed.

I had to deliver the news to him.

I'm sure that was difficult.

Yeah. How did he take it? Like every other kid I had to tell.

Devastated.

He'd become a fixture around here.

A real dedicated mentor.

So, a couple of days later, I wondered where he went.

Did you reach out to him?

Well, I ended up talking to his mother.

And she said Samson was so broken up about Daniel's death that he didn't want

come back here.

I thought that was kind of odd.

So I called again the next day.

And that's when she said he was gone.

Do you know where he went?

Well, his mother said that she sent him out of town and lived with his aunt.

And then she told me never to call again.

I remember her being very terse about him.

Did that strike you as suspicious at the time? Yes and no.

Daniel was a flame.

He burned bright for a whole lot of people.

With that extinguished, even I wanted to run away.

Trust me, I did too.

I did, in a lot of ways.

You don't think he had anything to do with Daniel's death, do you? I don't

I hope not.

There's one more thing.

Do you remember a kid named Tyson?

Yes. Did Tyson and Samson know each other? No.

Tyson's older.

They never would have crossed paths.

All right.

Well, I appreciate you taking the time to talk to me. And I know you didn't

to. Thank you. Anything for Daniel.

You're welcome.

Detective.

Yeah.

I once asked Daniel why he stuck it out with the difficult cases.

He said because life wasn't easy, but anything could be accomplished with a

little tough love and a lot of hard work. That sounds like Daniel.

He said he learned that from you.

I still can't find anything on

Samson Ramos.

It's like he just disappeared.

Okay, this is what we know. Daniel was killed right here in the alley behind

Mill Street. And his body was moved to the jogging path across town to make it

look like a mugging near his house. Okay, so Tyson lied about seeing Daniel

twice. Second time, after talking to Ellis, he went straight to the

Where he was let in by Elena Ramos, owner and operator.

Whose son, Samson, was mentored by Daniel and disappeared days after

murder. We're good at this.

Yeah, we should start our own police department.

Yeah, there's no money in it.

I could just talk to Samson. He could tell us what happened.

Well, I just found him.

What? How?

I wasn't getting anywhere using the name Samson Ramos.

But, of course, he's not going to use his real name if he's in hiding.

So I tried his mother's maiden name, and voila.

He's in his first year at college, out east.

Someone moves away and changes their name. They don't want to be found.

But why wouldn't Samson want to be found?

What does he know? What did he see?

Well, his mom sent him away right after Daniel's murder, so that couldn't have

been a coincidence.

Maybe he's guilty of something, or he saw something and he's scared.

I need to talk to him. Now that I know who he is, I can get you his number,

pronto. No, it's got to be face to face.

If I call him, he'll just hang up on me.

The woman at the center was very clear. Him and Daniel were really close.

Okay, Ricky, we'll get you a flight, and we'll figure out what's really going on

inside that club.

I'm going to need a new outfit.

On it?

No. Hey, you may be a good detective, but wardrobe.

That's my department.

You guys have done enough already, and I appreciate it. Okay, but Daniel is my

brother.

I'm willing to take this risk, but I can't ask you guys to do the same.

When's he going to get it?

I don't know. Look, Daniel was your family, but you're our family now.

I don't know what to say.

Say you'll pay for her new outfit, because I can guarantee you it will not

cheap. Oh, yeah, it definitely won't.

No.

All right, what are you thinking?

How are you going to infiltrate the club?

The less you know, the better.

I'm serious, Max. What's going on? Shh! Shh! It's not a plan. Shh! Shh!

Don't worry.

I got a plan.

Hello, this is Carmen.

Carmen, this is Duke Calloway.

I'm a talent scout from down near Jackson.

I had the pleasure of being introduced to your musical stylings by a friend who

gave me your demo.

Oh, my.

And which friend might that be?

A good one.

Now, let me tell you, when I listened to your demo, I was shocked.

Shocked, I'll tell you.

Why? I could not believe the velvety, luscious, smooth voice I was listening

came from someone singing down in that dusty old Granville.

Why, thank you. Music is my life, but it sure doesn't pay the bills.

Well, sounds like you're in need of an opportunity.

And if you listen, I believe you'll hear one knocking right about now.

Okay. I shared your demo with a colleague of mine who works in the

business, and she's prepared to offer you a one -year contract to perform in

of her Caribbean Festival cruise ships.

And let me guess, you're going to ask me for a cut. No, not at all. I'll have my

friend send your agent, I believe her name is Anna Silvers, the paperwork.

And I get a cut of their cut.

You spoke to my agent.

Now, the cruise leaves tomorrow from Miami, which means you'll need to be on

flight tonight.

Tonight? I have a show. I can't just leave.

Oh, it's a tough call.

I understand.

But let me tell you this.

I believe there are moments in life that define a person.

Forks in the road that changed the course of our lives. And Carmen, this is

of those moments.

Turn around.

Miss Carmen, shall I take you home to pack?

Damn.

What's up, Elena?

Our headliner just canceled and we have a full house tonight.

And a jam doll?

Helena Le Fleur.

A little birdie told me you're behind the eight ball, and here I am, a canary

without a cage.

I have no idea what you just said, but I do need a singer.

Now, where can I change?

Monday's blue, Tuesday's gray, and Wednesday too.

Thursday, I don't care about you. It's Friday, I'm in

love.

Monday, you can fall apart.

Tuesday, Wednesday, break my heart.

Thursday doesn't even start.

It's Friday.

I'm in love.

Saturday, wait.

And Sunday always comes too late.

But Friday, never hesitate.

I don't care if Monday's black.

Tuesday, Wednesday, heart attack.

Thursday, never looking back. It's Friday.

I'm in love.

Shall I say it, or do you want to have the pleasure?

Felina LeFleur, you're hired.

I worked on my set list.

You want to take a look?

No Sinatra.

Makes Carmine Lagoza emotional.

Brings down the whole bar.

Well, how will I know who Carmine is? He's a big guy, really bad ties.

You can't miss him.

Elena, uh, Locke's here. He just parked outside.

Damn it.

Who's Locke? None of your business.

Elena!

I'm guessing that's Locke?

Stay away from him.

OK. So who's he?

Word of advice, the key to working here is you don't see nothing, you don't hear

nothing.

Who is that guy?

That's Roman Locke. He's one of the biggest crime bosses in the city. No

arrests. I saw him in a hand of an envelope full of cash.

My guess?

Protection money.

Sounds right. Doing some digging and this is one bad dude.

Drugs, extortion, gambling, and he doesn't play nice with people who cross

Murder? That's definitely in his bag of tricks.

Wait, how are you looking all this up right now? Aren't you driving?

He's not the one behind the wheel.

Dad, you just got out of prison. You don't even have a license.

Actually, I have nine.

How's the gig going, sweetie?

Well, I'm singing for likely murderers, but other than that, it's great.

My set list is coming along nicely.

Yeah, well, the other singer is definitely living her best cruise ship

sent me a selfie from the buffet.

Wait, that job was real?

Of course it was.

I am deeply connected in the cruise ship world. Besides, what do we always say?

The best cons are the ones where everybody wins.

I know.

Where are you guys going?

Check out Tyson's place?

We know he's lying to us. With Ellis away and you at the club, we wanted to

sure this trail didn't go cold. Yeah, maybe something will show up that'll

us an idea how Tyson's connected.

Wait, does Ellis know about that? Not strictly.

No, but he should know. When you want paperwork done, you call your boring cop

friends. When you want some breaking and entering done, you call us.

Well, I can't argue with that logic.

Just be careful, okay?

Samson? Yeah?

Cole Ellis.

Daniel's brother?

Yeah.

Yeah, he talked about you all the time.

The hero brother who puts bad guys away.

Yeah, well, I'm here because there's some more bad guys that need to be put

away.

Specifically, the ones that killed Daniel.

What does that got to do with me? I think you know something about his case,

you're afraid to talk.

I'm sorry you came all this way, man. I don't know what you're talking about.

Samson, he was my brother, okay?

Just hear me out, please.

Look, you think I don't know how crazy it is to come all this way, asking

someone for help who I don't even know?

Because I do.

Okay, but that's what I'm doing.

Daniel spent his whole life helping people that everybody else gave up on.

People like you, Samson.

And I'm just... I'm just asking those people not to give up on him.

Look, I already told you.

I don't know anything.

I want someone else to help you, please.

Samson, just wait, okay? Enough, man!

Leave me alone.

Just take this, okay?

I know you got more to say and I know you're scared, but if you change your

mind, call me.

Let me guess.

Carmine?

I'll lay off the Sinatra.

Hey, what a great surprise, but shouldn't you be studying?

Hey, hey, whoa, slow down. Are you okay?

Samson, you have nothing to worry about.

They're just tying up loose ends. They already caught the guy who did it.

What do we say?

You didn't see anything?

You don't know anything.

You weren't there exactly.

I know.

I love you too, Buttercup.

I'm gonna call you later, okay?

Okay.

You okay?

I pay you to sing.

Not to be nosy.

Look, I don't mean to cry. I can just tell when people are upset.

And a boss bitch like you, I'm sure people forget to ask you how you're

I'm fine. It's, um...

It's just my kid.

Oh. I didn't know you were a mom.

What's their name?

His name is Samson.

Do you have any pictures?

He has kind eyes.

Just like you.

So what's wrong?

I, uh... I sent him to go in love with his aunt a few years ago to stay out of

trouble at home.

But then something just happened over there.

It's just really hard to have your baby so far away.

And you can't get him to come back?

Not that simple.

Well, sounds like you're doing what's best for him.

That's what a good mom does.

But I know...

It's easier said than done when you're that far apart.

I lost my mom when I was a teenager.

And there's nothing I wouldn't give to have one more hour with her.

I'm sorry for your loss.

Yeah. You just learn to live with it, you know?

It's not like you can change it.

Elena!

Duty calls.

I'm ready to talk.

I wanted to tell the truth about what had happened.

I really did.

But my mom said no. She said it was too dangerous.

Samson, I'm going to protect you and your mom, okay?

No matter what it takes, I promise.

You'll be safe.

Now tell me what you wanted to say.

I'm the reason your brother is dead.

Still got it.

Come on.

Let's get going.

There's no telling when Tyson might be returning home.

Ah, for a low -level criminal, Tyson's living pretty large.

Well, he's been couch surfing. This is his friend's place.

Look for anything that might give us an idea why Tyson lied about being with

Daniel the night of his murder.

Oh, God.

What is it? I'm judging by the content of this fridge. The guy's a vegan.

George, focus.

Hey. What are you doing here?

Just

finished

talking with the kid. He's terrified, but he's telling the truth.

What'd he say?

Samson was there. He heard everything.

Roman Locke sent a hit on Daniel. He's the reason my brother's dead.

Now we need to find him.

Well, not a problem.

I'm looking at him right now.

What? Max, stay away from him. He's dangerous.

Ryan Stanton just agreed to testify, and I'm bringing him home.

We're going to end this. Now.

Okay, just get home fast, Ellis.

All right.

You're a damn cop, and you're going to die.
