[R.J.]
Previously on R.J. Decker...

2
00:00:02,726 --> 00:00:04,418
Lead the way.

3
00:00:04,419 --> 00:00:07,351
Uh, actually, can I kiss you
first? Just to get it out of the way.

4
00:00:07,352 --> 00:00:09,822
"Get it out of the way."
'Cause that's so romantic.

5
00:00:09,823 --> 00:00:13,667
[Kelly] Gabriel's
already served ten years of life without parole.

6
00:00:13,668 --> 00:00:16,912
You're talking about a client
who confessed to killing a police officer.

7
00:00:16,913 --> 00:00:20,329
I wouldn't have approached you if I
wasn't convinced that Gabriel didn't do it.

8
00:00:20,330 --> 00:00:22,366
Where were you
when Officer Werner was shot?

9
00:00:22,367 --> 00:00:24,357
In an alley somewhere,
needle in my arm.

10
00:00:24,438 --> 00:00:26,267
They kept telling me I did it.

11
00:00:26,405 --> 00:00:27,579
I didn't do it.

12
00:00:27,580 --> 00:00:30,098
What I want is to hire you
to find the real killer.

13
00:00:30,099 --> 00:00:31,823
What if I find out
this guy really did it?

14
00:00:31,824 --> 00:00:33,481
My gut says he's innocent.

15
00:00:33,619 --> 00:00:36,898
Helping Gabriel Romero
would be a mistake,

16
00:00:37,037 --> 00:00:39,694
and I'm here to make sure
you understand why.

17

[mobile game sounds]

18
00:00:57,367 --> 00:00:59,611
You know, even on break,

19
00:00:59,749 --> 00:01:01,820
you're supposed
to look like a cop.

20
00:01:01,958 --> 00:01:03,201
It's just...

21
00:01:03,339 --> 00:01:06,411
I've been stuck on level 87
for three days now.

22
00:01:06,549 --> 00:01:07,722
Water or soda?

23
00:01:08,206 --> 00:01:09,256
Whatever's cold.

Mmm. I know.

29
00:01:28,778 --> 00:01:30,504
The flan.

30
00:01:30,642 --> 00:01:34,266
Barbecue is on Saturday,
Jessica's counting on me, yada, yada, yada.

31
00:01:35,233 --> 00:01:38,167
- You know,
I don't even like flan. - Not my problem.

32
00:01:38,305 --> 00:01:41,446
This is your problem
for telling Jessica that you can make one.

33
00:01:41,584 --> 00:01:43,103
She is pregnant, you know.

34
00:01:43,104 --> 00:01:45,276
Yeah, well, you can't blame me
for that. [chuckles]

35
00:01:45,277 --> 00:01:47,071
[Bobby] Well,
pregnant women get cravings.

36
00:01:47,072 --> 00:01:50,006
It is your civic duty
to make the damn flan.

37
00:01:50,144 --> 00:01:51,973
Speaking of duty,

38
00:01:51,974 --> 00:01:55,631
I just spent the last three hours
holding the rope for a fruit carton robbery

39
00:01:55,632 --> 00:01:59,257
while the brain surgeons
interviewed witnesses I already questioned.

40
00:01:59,395 --> 00:02:01,265
[chuckles]
It's gonna be us someday.

41
00:02:01,569 --> 00:02:03,571
Getting razzed
by the jealous unis.

42
00:02:03,709 --> 00:02:07,499
You think I'd ever give up the blues
and all the off-duty action they get me?

43
00:02:07,610 --> 00:02:09,301
[laughs] No.

44
00:02:09,302 --> 00:02:12,131
- Hey, can I get a bag, please?
- Are you at the convenience store?

45
00:02:12,132 --> 00:02:14,902
'Cause I could go
for a coconut slushie right about now.

46
00:02:19,587 --> 00:02:20,795
- [gunshots]
- Bobby.

47
00:02:20,933 --> 00:02:22,970
[gasps] No! No, Bobby!

48
00:02:24,282 --> 00:02:25,938
Are you okay?

49
00:02:31,012 --> 00:02:32,642
- [lock buzzing]

[grunts]

51
00:02:41,851 --> 00:02:43,646
Oh, hey, you can take
these off.

52
00:02:47,374 --> 00:02:49,721
It's okay.
They do this sometimes.

53
00:02:49,859 --> 00:02:51,378
Put me on close management.

54
00:02:53,690 --> 00:02:56,106
- Gabriel Romero.
- R.J. Decker.

55

Apalachee Correctional,
class of '24.

56
00:02:58,868 --> 00:03:00,559
- No joke?
- No joke.

57
00:03:00,560 --> 00:03:05,736
I've only ever seen close management
for transport or temporary punishment.

58
00:03:05,737 --> 00:03:07,394
Depends on the guard.

59
00:03:07,532 --> 00:03:11,260
No rhyme or reason except for the
fact that they think I killed a cop.

60
00:03:12,744 --> 00:03:14,021
And you didn't, right?

61
00:03:15,160 --> 00:03:16,506
Kill a cop?

62
00:03:16,644 --> 00:03:17,694
No.

63
00:03:18,888 --> 00:03:21,339
- I thought you
already knew that. - All I know is

64
00:03:21,340 --> 00:03:24,720
there were some pretty big holes
in the case against you ten years ago.

65
00:03:24,721 --> 00:03:27,585
Holes that would have given you
a good chance in an acquittal

66
00:03:27,586 --> 00:03:28,786
if you hadn't confessed.

67
00:03:28,863 --> 00:03:30,913
I'm here to talk a few
of them out with you.

68
00:03:30,914 --> 00:03:34,213
I want to start with the place
you were squatting back then.

69
00:03:34,214 --> 00:03:37,700
The abandoned house
on Powerline Road. Okay?

70
00:03:37,701 --> 00:03:42,151
The hoodie. The one the shooter
was wearing when he killed Officer Werner.

71
00:03:42,152 --> 00:03:45,811
The cops found it inside
the house two days after you were arrested.

72
00:03:45,949 --> 00:03:49,229
If you read all that stuff,
you know I told them it wasn't mine.

73
00:03:49,367 --> 00:03:52,497
Your lawyer, Kelly,
she says you think the hoodie was planted.

74
00:03:52,498 --> 00:03:55,717
The first 20-something hours
when I was in that room with the cops,

75
00:03:55,718 --> 00:03:58,188
I told them again and again
they had the wrong guy.

76
00:03:58,189 --> 00:04:01,654
They needed something
that would get me to stop fighting them,

77
00:04:01,655 --> 00:04:04,665
so they found
a hoodie just like that one, put it in the house.

78
00:04:04,727 --> 00:04:06,763
Yeah, that's one possibility.

79
00:04:06,764 --> 00:04:11,319
Another is it belonged to one
of the guys you were squatting with back then.

80
00:04:11,320 --> 00:04:12,562
Um, Dookie or Grey Worm.

81
00:04:12,700 --> 00:04:14,564
Ever get their real names?

82
00:04:15,358 --> 00:04:19,189
Ever hear their street names
again? Maybe from an inmate in here?

83
00:04:19,190 --> 00:04:21,225
Anything that could help me
find them now.

84
00:04:21,226 --> 00:04:22,745
No.

85
00:04:22,746 --> 00:04:25,471
And I had to guess,
they're not out there for you to find.

86
00:04:25,472 --> 00:04:28,164
They were junkies, same as me.

87
00:04:28,302 --> 00:04:30,615
Guys living the way
we were living,

88
00:04:31,167 --> 00:04:33,877
odds are better they've
both been dead for a long time.

89
00:04:34,308 --> 00:04:37,346
Okay. Let's talk about
what the police didn't find back then.

90
00:04:37,484 --> 00:04:38,761
The murder weapon.

91
00:04:38,762 --> 00:04:41,176
The theory back in 2016 is
you got rid of it somehow.

92
00:04:41,177 --> 00:04:43,647
You threw it in the ocean,
down a drain, whatever.

93
00:04:44,284 --> 00:04:47,594
But Kelly tells me it popped up
on the cops' radar a few months back.

94
00:04:47,632 --> 00:04:50,911
Somebody fired six rounds
into a billboard off US 441.

95
00:04:51,049 --> 00:04:52,913
Ballistics or whatever,

96
00:04:52,914 --> 00:04:56,225
they matched the casings
to the gun that killed Officer Werner.

97
00:04:56,226 --> 00:04:58,504
Police don't find that
as interesting as we do.

98
00:04:58,505 --> 00:05:00,782
Yeah, they think
somebody just found your gun,

99
00:05:00,783 --> 00:05:02,749
that the billboard shooting
was unrelated.

100
00:05:02,750 --> 00:05:03,993
Me?

101
00:05:04,131 --> 00:05:05,822
It makes me wonder

102
00:05:05,823 --> 00:05:08,997
if the person who actually
killed Bobby Werner never got rid of it.

103
00:05:08,998 --> 00:05:12,311
They just didn't use it
to commit another crime until a few months ago.

104
00:05:12,312 --> 00:05:13,865
I wondered the same thing.

105
00:05:14,624 --> 00:05:15,674
I hoped.

106
00:05:16,454 --> 00:05:18,628
But if you really did time,
then you know.

107
00:05:19,284 --> 00:05:20,389
A place like this?

108
00:05:23,115 --> 00:05:24,462
Hope can hurt.

109
00:05:31,641 --> 00:05:32,691
Hey.

110
00:05:33,436 --> 00:05:35,093
How'd it go with Gabriel?

111
00:05:35,094 --> 00:05:37,991
I didn't get a lot more
than what was already in the files.

112
00:05:37,992 --> 00:05:39,856
Well, what did you think
about him?

113
00:05:39,857 --> 00:05:43,859
I mean, I-I think it's hard
to get around the fact that he confessed. I do.

114
00:05:43,860 --> 00:05:47,242
But like you said... I mean, you almost
took a plea deal in your dad's case.

115
00:05:47,243 --> 00:05:51,153
Yeah, and I wasn't sleep-deprived
or going through withdrawal like Gabriel.

116
00:05:51,696 --> 00:05:54,630
My gut says you could be right.
He could be innocent.

117
00:05:54,768 --> 00:05:57,118
If only gut feelings
were admissible in court.

118
00:05:57,119 --> 00:06:00,117
We're gonna need a lot more
if we're gonna get him out of that place.

119
00:06:00,118 --> 00:06:03,570
Still, it's sort of
a relief knowing you don't think I'm crazy

120
00:06:03,708 --> 00:06:04,916
for wanting to help him.

121
00:06:05,054 --> 00:06:06,158
Not crazy at all.

122
00:06:06,159 --> 00:06:09,575
There is one more thing
you need to know about all this.

123
00:06:09,576 --> 00:06:11,266
Something
I didn't wanna tell you

124
00:06:11,267 --> 00:06:13,820
until you could get
your own impression of Gabriel.

125
00:06:13,821 --> 00:06:14,891
Okay.

126
00:06:15,720 --> 00:06:16,997
It's about Mel.

127
00:06:20,656 --> 00:06:22,451
Mel, got a minute?

128
00:06:22,589 --> 00:06:24,763
For you? When don't I?

129
00:06:27,847 --> 00:06:33,530
I assume Emi told you
about our little meeting the other night.

130
00:06:33,531 --> 00:06:35,911
Meeting's a funny way
to describe an ambush in a parking lot.

131
00:06:35,912 --> 00:06:38,327
She said you warned her to stay
away from the Gabriel Romero case?

132
00:06:38,328 --> 00:06:41,089
I didn't warn anyone.
I just wanted to make sure she had all the facts.

133
00:06:41,090 --> 00:06:42,884
If you wanted her to know
Bobby Werner was a friend,

134
00:06:42,885 --> 00:06:44,368
all you had to do was
pick up the phone.

135
00:06:44,369 --> 00:06:45,749
Instead, you tried
to intimidate her.

136
00:06:45,750 --> 00:06:47,544
Sorry. Is there
some sort of etiquette

137
00:06:47,545 --> 00:06:49,891
for telling someone to
not help a guy who murdered a cop in cold blood?

138
00:06:49,892 --> 00:06:52,550
- I get that this is
personal for you. - "Personal"?

139
00:06:52,688 --> 00:06:54,738
I was on the phone with Bobby
when he died.

140
00:06:54,739 --> 00:06:58,106
I heard the shots, and there
wasn't a damn thing I could do to help him.

141
00:06:58,107 --> 00:06:59,971
Nobody could.

142
00:06:59,972 --> 00:07:02,179
Because right after Gabriel Romero
shot Bobby through the back of the head,

143
00:07:02,180 --> 00:07:04,077
he planted two more bullets
right here.

144
00:07:04,078 --> 00:07:07,047
Why? All because Bobby dared
to arrest him a few times.

145
00:07:07,048 --> 00:07:09,289
That's the kind of guy your girlfriend's
trying to get out of prison.

146
00:07:09,290 --> 00:07:10,809
[sighs]

147
00:07:10,810 --> 00:07:13,362
You're gonna help him anyway.

148
00:07:13,363 --> 00:07:15,745
I mean, if Emi's right
about this guy...

149
00:07:15,883 --> 00:07:19,300
I have been where he has been,
but he is not facing 18 months.

150
00:07:19,439 --> 00:07:21,441
He is facing the rest
of his life.

151
00:07:21,579 --> 00:07:23,270
Mmm. Hmm.

152
00:07:23,408 --> 00:07:26,860
Well, if he gets out,
maybe he can become a PI too,

153
00:07:26,998 --> 00:07:28,586
and you can explain to him

154
00:07:28,724 --> 00:07:31,794
how much of the job depends
on you having friends who are cops.

155
00:07:31,795 --> 00:07:34,176
How often you need them
to share information with you

156
00:07:34,177 --> 00:07:36,179
or get you access
to a crime scene.

157
00:07:36,317 --> 00:07:40,425
And you can explain to him how they
would never ever do those things for someone

158
00:07:40,563 --> 00:07:43,333
who tried to help someone
who murdered one of their own.

159
00:07:45,741 --> 00:07:46,791
Got it.

160
00:07:48,019 --> 00:07:51,678
And just in case you don't,
stay away from this place.

161
00:07:52,333 --> 00:07:53,818
Stay away from me.

162
00:08:01,998 --> 00:08:03,206
[door closes]

163
00:08:08,453 --> 00:08:10,179
I've seen Mel mad before.

164
00:08:11,007 --> 00:08:12,181
This was different.

165
00:08:14,148 --> 00:08:16,288
- I'm sorry.
- I mean, it is what it is.

166
00:08:16,426 --> 00:08:20,396
If I find proof that Gabriel didn't
kill Bobby Werner, she'll have to accept it.

167
00:08:20,810 --> 00:08:24,434
But you get that if I find something
that tells us he did kill him...

168
00:08:24,573 --> 00:08:26,954
No, you have to bring it
to the police.

169
00:08:27,092 --> 00:08:30,371
Okay. The way I see it,
there are two paths for us to go down.

170
00:08:30,372 --> 00:08:33,304
First, there's the street names
of the guys Gabriel used to live with.

171
00:08:33,305 --> 00:08:34,962
Dookie and Grey Worm.

172
00:08:34,963 --> 00:08:37,377
The police never bothered identifying
them because Gabriel confessed.

173
00:08:37,378 --> 00:08:39,001
There's no point.

174
00:08:39,002 --> 00:08:41,554
But if either of them
could have been the shooter back in 2016...

175
00:08:41,555 --> 00:08:43,592
- We have to find them.
- Yeah.

176
00:08:43,730 --> 00:08:46,284
Wish, he's in a Facebook group
for ex-cons.

177
00:08:46,285 --> 00:08:49,217
He's been poking around,
asking if anybody knows these guys.

178
00:08:49,218 --> 00:08:51,426
I might be able to help out
with the names too.

179
00:08:51,427 --> 00:08:55,189
Ochoa Development's
been chasing squatters away for a long time.

180
00:08:55,327 --> 00:08:58,296
It's sad, but it's dangerous
to let them stay.

181
00:08:58,434 --> 00:09:00,125
I'll talk to the security guys,

182
00:09:00,263 --> 00:09:04,026
ask if anyone has ever had an
issue with a Dookie or a Grey Worm.

183
00:09:04,647 --> 00:09:05,959
God, that sounds wrong.

184
00:09:06,097 --> 00:09:08,306
I'll go down the second path.
The gun path.

185
00:09:08,307 --> 00:09:11,204
I'll try to find the person
that shot up that billboard a few months back.

186
00:09:11,205 --> 00:09:12,723
The one for
the accident attorney.

187
00:09:12,724 --> 00:09:15,209
Nick Nolan.
"Don't get mad. Get money."

188
00:09:15,347 --> 00:09:19,017
I mean, if he's as sleazy as he looks,
he's gonna have his share of enemies.

189
00:09:19,075 --> 00:09:22,925
The question is could one of them be
the same guy that shot a cop ten years ago?

190
00:09:25,219 --> 00:09:27,187
[Nick speaking broken Spanish]

191
00:09:37,611 --> 00:09:39,406
[R.J.] Excuse me.

192
00:09:39,544 --> 00:09:43,274
Did you mean to say you'd start her
case once you get her cheek in your hand?

193
00:09:44,894 --> 00:09:47,794
[scoffs]
Lisa, call Mrs. Melendez.

194
00:09:47,932 --> 00:09:50,969
Tell her I meant to ask
for her check, not her cheek.

195
00:09:51,452 --> 00:09:52,695
[scoffs]

196
00:09:52,833 --> 00:09:54,663
Damn AI translator.

197
00:09:54,801 --> 00:09:57,320
- Thanks, uh...
- R.J. Decker.

198
00:09:57,458 --> 00:09:59,115
I'm a private investigator.

199
00:09:59,116 --> 00:10:01,600
Well, you will be top
of the list next time I need someone followed.

200
00:10:01,601 --> 00:10:03,843
- Drop your r�sum� with Lisa.
- I'm not looking for work.

201
00:10:03,844 --> 00:10:05,121
I'm looking for a gun.

202
00:10:05,122 --> 00:10:06,812
Specifically the gun
that was used

203
00:10:06,813 --> 00:10:08,745
to shoot up
one of your billboards a few months ago.

204
00:10:08,746 --> 00:10:10,195
- That?
- Yeah.

205
00:10:10,196 --> 00:10:12,714
Anyone you can think of
that might have wanted to use your face

206
00:10:12,715 --> 00:10:13,795
for target practice?

207
00:10:13,923 --> 00:10:14,973
Pick a drawer.

208
00:10:14,974 --> 00:10:17,201
After three decades
of suing people,

209
00:10:17,202 --> 00:10:19,479
beating them in court,
and generally pissing people off,

210
00:10:19,480 --> 00:10:22,070
the list of potential suspects
is quite extensive.

211
00:10:26,971 --> 00:10:28,144
[exhales]

212
00:10:29,732 --> 00:10:31,182
- Mr. Decker?
- Yeah?

213
00:10:31,838 --> 00:10:35,807
Mr. Nolan may not be worried
about the person who shot up his billboard,

214
00:10:36,497 --> 00:10:37,913
but some of us are.

215
00:10:39,052 --> 00:10:41,502
I'm no detective,
but I did a little digging.

216
00:10:41,641 --> 00:10:44,711
I came up with a list of people
who were really angry with Nick

217
00:10:44,747 --> 00:10:46,162
around the time of the...

218
00:10:47,336 --> 00:10:49,096
- incident.
- Oh.

219
00:10:49,234 --> 00:10:50,684
Okay. Well...

220
00:10:51,685 --> 00:10:53,722
Thank you so much.
This is incredible.

221
00:10:53,860 --> 00:10:55,240
- [chuckles]
- Uh...

222
00:10:55,378 --> 00:10:58,623
Are you sure you don't want
to leave a r�sum� with me?

223
00:10:58,761 --> 00:11:00,211
[chuckles]

224
00:11:01,971 --> 00:11:03,145
Maybe next time.

225
00:11:07,149 --> 00:11:08,357
[doorbell rings]

226
00:11:17,815 --> 00:11:18,865
Mel.

227
00:11:19,644 --> 00:11:20,714
Oh, my God.

228
00:11:21,577 --> 00:11:23,199
[chuckles] This is a surprise.

229
00:11:23,337 --> 00:11:24,994
- Hi, Jess.
- Hi.

230
00:11:28,308 --> 00:11:29,516
What is it?

231
00:11:31,380 --> 00:11:33,278
It's gonna start
all over again.

232
00:11:33,416 --> 00:11:35,453
The lawyers, the reporters,

233
00:11:35,454 --> 00:11:38,869
anyone and everyone
who ever had an opinion about Gabriel Romero...

234
00:11:38,870 --> 00:11:41,220
just out there saying
whatever they wanna say.

235
00:11:42,046 --> 00:11:44,516
I don't know
what I'm gonna tell Bobby's parents.

236
00:11:44,565 --> 00:11:46,878
Hey, if you want,
I'll talk to them too.

237
00:11:49,985 --> 00:11:54,299
Danielle was so young the last time
Gabriel tried to appeal his conviction.

238
00:11:54,990 --> 00:11:56,888
But now she's old enough

239
00:11:57,026 --> 00:12:00,936
to hear the kids at school talking about
how her dad's killer might be set free.

240
00:12:01,065 --> 00:12:02,894
- I mean, he confessed.
- I know.

241
00:12:03,032 --> 00:12:05,562
Why can't we have closure?
Don't we deserve that?

242
00:12:11,661 --> 00:12:12,801
When Bobby died,

243
00:12:13,698 --> 00:12:15,804
you dropped off food,

244
00:12:15,942 --> 00:12:17,598
you cleaned out
Bobby's locker...

245
00:12:18,392 --> 00:12:20,222
You were there for us.

246
00:12:20,981 --> 00:12:23,511
Even after everyone else
went on with their lives.

247
00:12:23,950 --> 00:12:25,089
Still am.

248
00:12:25,641 --> 00:12:28,651
And look, this thing with
Gabriel, it might not go anywhere.

249
00:12:28,782 --> 00:12:31,132
I just didn't want it
to get sprung on you again.

250
00:12:31,267 --> 00:12:33,200
I wanted you to be ready.

251
00:12:34,615 --> 00:12:35,858
Thank you.

252
00:12:36,548 --> 00:12:37,757
For everything.

You bring Higgins and TC?

[laughs]

257
00:13:06,164 --> 00:13:08,235
Uh, is Griff Saunders
working tonight?

258
00:13:08,373 --> 00:13:10,824
Yeah. Uh, green cape,
selling shots.

259
00:13:10,962 --> 00:13:12,239
Gotcha. Thank you.

260
00:13:19,833 --> 00:13:21,179
Plasma shot?

261
00:13:21,317 --> 00:13:24,631
Yeah, I am interested in shots,
just of a different caliber.

Nick Nolan,
the accident attorney.

263
00:13:27,289 --> 00:13:30,839
A couple months back someone
fired six rounds at one of his billboards.

264
00:13:31,396 --> 00:13:33,086
What are you talking
about, man?

265
00:13:33,087 --> 00:13:35,158
[sighs] Nick deposed you
three times

266
00:13:35,159 --> 00:13:37,367
as a witness against
the restaurant you used to work for.

267
00:13:37,368 --> 00:13:39,266
Three times
for a slip-and-fall.

268
00:13:39,267 --> 00:13:42,475
Great for Nick's billable hours, not so great for you.
The restaurant fired you.

269
00:13:42,476 --> 00:13:45,906
A couple days later,
someone perforated Nick's face on a billboard.

270
00:13:45,907 --> 00:13:47,826
Hell of a coincidence,
don't you think?

271
00:13:47,827 --> 00:13:50,795
Griff, you can talk to me,
or you can talk to the cops.

272

I'm not Griff.

to take down Doctor Doom,
but nope.

285
00:14:55,273 --> 00:14:57,172
Why do you look
so disappointed?

286
00:14:57,173 --> 00:15:00,105
Because, Griff, unless you were
very advanced for your age,

287
00:15:00,106 --> 00:15:03,116
I don't think
you murdered a cop when you were nine years old.

288
00:15:08,321 --> 00:15:11,703
I can't believe it. A cop.
My gun was used to kill a cop.

289
00:15:11,841 --> 00:15:16,156
Yeah, and look, Griff, I need
to know where you got it, okay?

290
00:15:16,294 --> 00:15:19,297
- Did you- Did you buy it
off someone? - No, no, I found it.

291
00:15:19,435 --> 00:15:20,485
Where?

292
00:15:21,196 --> 00:15:24,146
In a dumpster. All right, I was a kid.
It was like ten years ago.

293
00:15:24,147 --> 00:15:27,235
I was looking for bottles
to recycle, saving up for the new Minecraft.

294
00:15:27,236 --> 00:15:28,928
I thought it was cool,
so I took it.

295
00:15:29,066 --> 00:15:33,035
- It was stupid, I know, but-
- Yeah, you were nine years old. It's okay.

296
00:15:34,623 --> 00:15:37,384
My mom and I lived
in a pretty sketchy area back then.

297
00:15:37,385 --> 00:15:41,215
I thought the gun could be used to protect
us, you know, if any bad guys broke in,

298
00:15:41,216 --> 00:15:42,976
which never happened, luckily,

299
00:15:42,977 --> 00:15:45,322
and we ended up moving
to a pretty good neighborhood.

300
00:15:45,323 --> 00:15:48,154
And I only held on to it
'cause, honestly,

301
00:15:48,292 --> 00:15:50,121
I didn't know
how to get rid of it.

302
00:15:50,259 --> 00:15:52,249
And funny thing is,
I never even shot it.

303
00:15:53,193 --> 00:15:55,782
Okay, look,
not until Slick Nick cost me my job.

304
00:15:55,920 --> 00:15:58,888
I got angry. I got drunk,
and I shot up his billboard.

305
00:15:59,579 --> 00:16:02,769
- You still have the gun, right?
- Yes, it's back in my apartment.

Just follow me home
and I'll give you the damn thing.

00:16:13,006 --> 00:16:16,285
this is the first one
I've ever seen that took the life of a cop.

310
00:16:16,803 --> 00:16:18,046
Yeah.

311
00:16:18,184 --> 00:16:19,771
It's different somehow.

312
00:16:20,427 --> 00:16:22,602
And you wanted me
to see it because...

313
00:16:23,292 --> 00:16:25,191
[stammers] I need your help.

314
00:16:25,329 --> 00:16:27,859
I'm no crime scene technician,
but I try to keep up.

315
00:16:27,860 --> 00:16:29,608
I know there's
some kind of scanner

316
00:16:29,609 --> 00:16:31,644
that can find impressions
left deep in gun metal,

317
00:16:31,645 --> 00:16:34,062
even after that metal's
filed down. Uh...

318
00:16:35,028 --> 00:16:37,138
The ghost of a serial number,
for example.

319
00:16:37,139 --> 00:16:39,756
Yeah, you're talking about
a magneto-optical scanner.

320
00:16:39,757 --> 00:16:41,655
- Yes.
- So you want me to take it back

321
00:16:41,793 --> 00:16:45,694
to the crime lab
and use our scanner to trace where it came from?

322
00:16:45,832 --> 00:16:49,082
Yeah, I mean, if this really is
the gun that killed Bobby Werner,

323
00:16:49,083 --> 00:16:52,424
the serial number
could lead us to the person that actually did it.

324
00:16:52,425 --> 00:16:55,842
'Cause that person
couldn't possibly be Gabriel Romero?

325
00:16:55,980 --> 00:16:57,602
No, I didn't say that.

326
00:16:57,603 --> 00:17:00,087
If the serial number
connects us back to Gabriel, okay, then we know.

327
00:17:00,088 --> 00:17:03,538
[chuckles] No, not okay, because then
I broke a bunch of rules for nothing.

328
00:17:03,539 --> 00:17:05,989
All I'm trying to do
is find the truth about what happened that night.

329
00:17:05,990 --> 00:17:08,888
So if I don't help you,
I'm someone who doesn't care about the truth?

330
00:17:08,889 --> 00:17:10,063
No, no.

331
00:17:10,684 --> 00:17:12,734
No, I'm sorry.
No, that's not what I meant.

332
00:17:12,824 --> 00:17:14,861
I may not be a cop,

333
00:17:15,586 --> 00:17:17,450
but I work with them.

334
00:17:17,588 --> 00:17:20,039
They treat me like
I'm one of their own.

335
00:17:20,040 --> 00:17:24,007
Helping someone like Gabriel Romero,
it's not just opening an old wound,

336
00:17:24,008 --> 00:17:26,942
it's me digging in
with both hands and ripping.

337
00:17:27,080 --> 00:17:28,806
Okay, I get it. I do. I get it.

338
00:17:28,807 --> 00:17:31,946
But just say for a minute,
say Gabriel didn't do it.

339
00:17:31,947 --> 00:17:34,086
Say the serial number leads me
someplace else.

340
00:17:34,087 --> 00:17:37,817
Wouldn't they appreciate
an actual cop killer being brought to justice?

341
00:17:38,402 --> 00:17:39,452
I can't.

342
00:17:40,645 --> 00:17:41,784
I cannot help you.

343
00:17:41,922 --> 00:17:43,269
I'm sorry.

344
00:17:45,719 --> 00:17:47,169
[sighs]

345
00:17:47,307 --> 00:17:48,357
[Trudy] But...

346
00:17:49,999 --> 00:17:51,553
Harbor Forensics might.

347
00:17:51,691 --> 00:17:53,313
They're an independent lab.

348
00:17:53,451 --> 00:17:57,662
Sometimes we sub out work
that we have when we're overloaded with cases.

349
00:17:57,663 --> 00:18:00,078
If you have the money,
they'll run any tests that you want.

350
00:18:00,079 --> 00:18:02,667
But you didn't hear it from me,
R.J., okay?

351
00:18:03,530 --> 00:18:04,580
Thank you.

352
00:18:07,810 --> 00:18:10,089
- [door closes]
- [sighs]

353
00:18:10,710 --> 00:18:12,056
Let's see now...

354
00:18:12,574 --> 00:18:13,624
There you are.

355
00:18:14,472 --> 00:18:16,164
Oh, babe...

356
00:18:16,165 --> 00:18:18,993
This is two mornings
in a row now I've woken up at 5:00 a.m.

357
00:18:18,994 --> 00:18:21,307
to find your side
of the bed empty.

358
00:18:21,308 --> 00:18:23,791
Weird, considering your shift's
supposed to start at 9:00.

359
00:18:23,792 --> 00:18:28,176
I got a lot of work to do, so figured
I'd hit it early, but this is gonna help.

360
00:18:28,314 --> 00:18:29,453
Thank you.

361
00:18:29,454 --> 00:18:33,145
This work, is it also
the reason you jolted awake the other night

362
00:18:33,146 --> 00:18:34,706
like you'd been electrocuted?

363
00:18:37,254 --> 00:18:38,304
Something's up.

364
00:18:38,945 --> 00:18:40,429
Wanna just tell me about it?

365
00:18:43,398 --> 00:18:47,488
It's been nice that up until now, you and R.
J. have been such compatible work wives,

366
00:18:47,505 --> 00:18:51,164
but you're a cop who works
for the people.

367
00:18:51,302 --> 00:18:54,754
He's a PI who works
for the people who give him money.

368
00:18:54,755 --> 00:18:57,894
Something like this, you guys finding
yourselves on opposite sides of a case,

369
00:18:57,895 --> 00:18:59,825
- it's sort of
inevitable, right? - No.

370
00:18:59,828 --> 00:19:03,694
I didn't choose to be
on the phone with Bobby the night he was killed.

371
00:19:03,832 --> 00:19:06,386
R.J. did choose to try
and help the guy who did it,

372
00:19:06,524 --> 00:19:08,354
and he could have said no.

373
00:19:08,355 --> 00:19:11,494
He could have told Emi to go find some
other PI, and it doesn't just piss me off.

374
00:19:11,495 --> 00:19:12,545
That...

375
00:19:13,393 --> 00:19:14,443
hurts.

376
00:19:14,444 --> 00:19:19,674
I'm sorry. Didn't wanna tell you about all this.
Didn't wanna put you in the middle.

377
00:19:19,675 --> 00:19:21,021
Middle?

378
00:19:21,505 --> 00:19:22,678
There is no middle.

379
00:19:23,610 --> 00:19:25,509
There's just us, you and me.

380
00:19:26,095 --> 00:19:28,167
Everything else is just noise.

381
00:19:28,822 --> 00:19:30,065
I know what I got.

382
00:19:34,897 --> 00:19:37,247
- [? soft music playing]
- [Emi] I found Dookie.

383
00:19:39,039 --> 00:19:41,145
Sorry, not in here.

384
00:19:41,283 --> 00:19:42,560
It's someone's name.

385
00:19:42,698 --> 00:19:44,217
This place is very clean.

386
00:19:44,355 --> 00:19:45,494
[sighs]

387
00:19:48,014 --> 00:19:50,223
A former security guy
remembered him.

388
00:19:50,361 --> 00:19:52,777
He had been kicked out
of Ochoa buildings

389
00:19:52,915 --> 00:19:56,160
at least a dozen times
in the years before and after the murder.

390
00:19:56,298 --> 00:19:58,576
His real name was
Marco Duquesne.

391
00:19:58,714 --> 00:19:59,991
Was.

392
00:19:59,992 --> 00:20:01,751
He died four years ago.
Overdose.

393
00:20:01,752 --> 00:20:04,548
Okay. If he was the guy
that killed Bobby,

394
00:20:04,549 --> 00:20:06,652
proving it now
just got a whole lot tougher.

395
00:20:06,653 --> 00:20:07,703
Yeah.

396
00:20:07,758 --> 00:20:09,863
- Who's Trudy?
- Uh, what?

397
00:20:10,001 --> 00:20:13,557
I asked Wish how the hunt for the
other squatter was going, Grey Worm.

398
00:20:13,558 --> 00:20:15,627
- [mouthing] I'm sorry.
- [Emi] He said not great,

399
00:20:15,628 --> 00:20:18,518
but he mentioned the lab
Trudy told you to bring the gun to.

400
00:20:18,631 --> 00:20:20,771
She's like CSU or something?

401
00:20:20,909 --> 00:20:23,256
[sighs] Yeah, or something.

402
00:20:24,533 --> 00:20:26,673
- [chuckles]
- Oh.

403
00:20:26,811 --> 00:20:28,019
Oh!

404
00:20:29,607 --> 00:20:31,540
Trudy's a friend.

405
00:20:32,092 --> 00:20:33,784
- Kinda, yeah.
- Hmm.

406
00:20:34,405 --> 00:20:35,924
Okay, it's okay.

407
00:20:36,511 --> 00:20:40,549
Seriously, I mean...
[scoffs] ...we're allowed to have friends.

408
00:20:41,032 --> 00:20:42,758
- I have friends.
- You do?

409
00:20:43,414 --> 00:20:47,729
I mean, I have friend friends,
not, you know, "friends."

410
00:20:48,937 --> 00:20:50,110
At least right now.

411
00:20:50,594 --> 00:20:52,285
- Friends are good.
- Yeah.

412
00:20:52,941 --> 00:20:54,331
- Yeah.
- [computer chimes]

413
00:20:54,460 --> 00:20:56,738
Oh. Uh, yeah, Harbor Forensics.

414
00:20:56,876 --> 00:20:59,465
This is the lab
where I took the gun.

415
00:20:59,603 --> 00:21:02,847
They successfully recovered
the serial number.

416
00:21:02,985 --> 00:21:05,850
Last registered owner was
a guy named Arthur Langford.

417
00:21:06,679 --> 00:21:07,729
Hmm.

418
00:21:07,783 --> 00:21:10,441
- What?
- He died in 1997.

419
00:21:10,579 --> 00:21:13,341
He couldn't have murdered
Bobby Werner in 2016.

420
00:21:14,514 --> 00:21:17,206
According to this,
his widow still lives in Boca.

421
00:21:17,345 --> 00:21:21,556
Maybe she can explain how her husband's
gun ended up in the hands of a cop killer.

422
00:21:22,626 --> 00:21:28,494
You wanted to ask me about
a gun that Arthur used to own?

423
00:21:28,632 --> 00:21:29,771
Yes, I do.

424
00:21:29,909 --> 00:21:31,566
It's this one, a Beretta 92.

425
00:21:31,567 --> 00:21:34,809
I'm afraid it was used
in the commission of a crime.

426
00:21:34,810 --> 00:21:38,745
I'm trying to figure out
how it went from Arthur to the person who had it.

427
00:21:38,883 --> 00:21:43,060
Well, if it's the gun I think
it is, it went missing about ten years ago.

428
00:21:43,543 --> 00:21:46,650
I was modifying the house
to make it easier to move around.

429
00:21:47,444 --> 00:21:51,586
Had to move all sorts of things
around, including Arthur's gun locker.

430
00:21:52,207 --> 00:21:53,897
That's when I noticed
it was gone.

431
00:21:53,898 --> 00:21:55,865
And did you report it missing?

432
00:21:55,866 --> 00:21:57,281
Of course I did.

433
00:21:57,419 --> 00:21:58,627
[chuckles]

434
00:21:58,765 --> 00:22:01,561
I told my grandnephew Flynn
about it right away.

435
00:22:01,699 --> 00:22:03,322
He was a policeman then.

436
00:22:04,944 --> 00:22:06,152
I'm sorry.

437
00:22:06,290 --> 00:22:09,155
Did you just say
y-your grandnephew was a cop?

438
00:22:09,880 --> 00:22:11,260
[Emi] Hey.

439
00:22:11,399 --> 00:22:14,678
Hey, does the name
Flynn Magnuson mean anything to you?

440
00:22:14,816 --> 00:22:17,991
Of course.
He was Bobby Werner's partner in 2016.

441
00:22:18,647 --> 00:22:21,063
Yeah, well, he could be
a lot more than that.

442
00:22:21,201 --> 00:22:24,031
He might be the person
who orchestrated Bobby's murder.

443
00:22:31,953 --> 00:22:36,354
Hi, can I get your name
and who you're here to see?

444
00:22:36,355 --> 00:22:39,065
Yeah, my name's R.J. Decker,
and matter of fact, Flynn,

445
00:22:39,565 --> 00:22:40,738
I'm here to see you.

446
00:22:42,568 --> 00:22:45,218
You're sure it was
my uncle's gun that killed Bobby?

447
00:22:46,019 --> 00:22:47,711
I think you mean
your gun, right?

448
00:22:47,712 --> 00:22:51,092
At least it became your gun
after you stole it out of your aunt's house.

449
00:22:51,093 --> 00:22:54,510
I mean, I know you're not a cop anymore,
but possession is still nine-tenths.

450
00:22:54,511 --> 00:22:55,788
Am I right?

451
00:22:56,409 --> 00:22:57,790
Yeah, I looked into you.

452
00:22:57,928 --> 00:22:59,412
Six months after Bobby died,

453
00:22:59,413 --> 00:23:01,827
you were accused
of excessive force against a shoplifter.

454
00:23:01,828 --> 00:23:05,073
You and the FLPD,
you parted ways.

455
00:23:05,074 --> 00:23:06,694
What's that got to do
with anything?

456
00:23:06,695 --> 00:23:09,457
Well, it made me wonder
if it wasn't a one-time thing.

457
00:23:09,595 --> 00:23:11,251
It was part of a pattern.

458
00:23:11,390 --> 00:23:13,140
Maybe a pattern
Bobby didn't like.

459
00:23:14,151 --> 00:23:16,921
Maybe he was planning on
reporting you, you found out,

460
00:23:16,922 --> 00:23:18,430
and you set him up
to be killed.

461
00:23:18,431 --> 00:23:19,570
What?

462
00:23:19,571 --> 00:23:21,364
Why else would you steal
your uncle's gun?

463
00:23:21,365 --> 00:23:23,297
Why else would you file
the serial numbers down?

464
00:23:23,298 --> 00:23:24,575
It was supposed to...

465
00:23:26,266 --> 00:23:27,836
It was supposed to be
a drop gun.

466
00:23:27,837 --> 00:23:31,857
Something I could plant if me or
Bobby ever had to justify a shooting.

467
00:23:31,858 --> 00:23:34,208
When I started bringing the gun
out on patrol,

468
00:23:34,209 --> 00:23:36,103
it wasn't just me
I thought I was protecting.

469
00:23:36,104 --> 00:23:37,974
I thought I was protecting
Bobby too.

470
00:23:37,975 --> 00:23:40,107
But when I told him about it,
he flipped.

471
00:23:40,108 --> 00:23:41,834
He said the gun went or he did.

472
00:23:45,769 --> 00:23:47,279
Man, after Bobby died,
I just...

473
00:23:49,531 --> 00:23:50,774
lost it.

474
00:23:50,912 --> 00:23:52,914
Eventually I was diagnosed
with PTSD,

475
00:23:53,052 --> 00:23:55,642
but that wasn't until after
I hurt that shoplifter.

476
00:23:57,539 --> 00:24:00,439
But you get how
none of that explains how your gun ended up

477
00:24:00,577 --> 00:24:02,302
in the hands
of a killer, right?

478
00:24:03,269 --> 00:24:05,739
After me and Bobby talked,
I brought the gun home.

479
00:24:05,823 --> 00:24:09,482
Before I could figure out
what to do with it, someone broke in one night.

480
00:24:09,620 --> 00:24:13,382
My laptop, some watches,
the gun, all gone.

481
00:24:13,383 --> 00:24:15,522
My laptop and watches,
I didn't care about,

482
00:24:15,523 --> 00:24:18,871
but the gun, knowing
it was in the hands of some criminal,

483
00:24:19,009 --> 00:24:21,701
someone who might use it,
terrified me.

484
00:24:21,839 --> 00:24:23,220
[sighs]

485
00:24:23,221 --> 00:24:24,945
Guess I was right to be scared,
because now you're telling me

486
00:24:24,946 --> 00:24:26,576
it ended up with
Gabriel Romero.

487
00:24:27,051 --> 00:24:30,421
It ended up in someone's hands.
I'm not sure that person was Gabriel.

488
00:24:30,676 --> 00:24:31,918
I know one thing for sure.

489
00:24:31,919 --> 00:24:33,747
Romero wasn't the guy
who broke into my apartment.

490
00:24:33,748 --> 00:24:35,301
Wh-What? What do you mean?

491
00:24:35,302 --> 00:24:36,991
I couldn't report what happened

492
00:24:36,992 --> 00:24:39,462
because if anybody but me
found the guy who did it...

493
00:24:39,463 --> 00:24:41,651
Yeah, they could tell them
about the drop gun.

494
00:24:41,652 --> 00:24:43,412
So I did my own investigation.

495
00:24:43,413 --> 00:24:45,344
Found some fingerprints,
asked the lab to run them,

496
00:24:45,345 --> 00:24:47,761
said it was part
of this other thing I was helping on,

497
00:24:47,762 --> 00:24:50,867
some store on Sunrise Boulevard
that kept getting graffitied.

498
00:24:50,868 --> 00:24:53,008
- Okay. And?
- No hits.

499
00:24:54,216 --> 00:24:56,667
Gabriel, he was
in the system back then.

500
00:24:56,805 --> 00:24:59,359
His name would have come up,
but it didn't.

501
00:25:00,533 --> 00:25:03,783
The store that
kept getting graffitied, you remember the name?

502
00:25:10,543 --> 00:25:13,613
I take it you asked me
to meet you here so Mel wouldn't see you?

503
00:25:14,202 --> 00:25:17,212
Or what, instead of a gun,
do you have a body for me to look at?

504
00:25:17,343 --> 00:25:19,345
No, no, no, no gun, no body.

505
00:25:20,035 --> 00:25:21,243
Okay.

506
00:25:22,141 --> 00:25:23,191
But I need your help.

507
00:25:23,729 --> 00:25:25,006
Mm-hmm.

508
00:25:25,007 --> 00:25:27,455
Back in 2016, a week before
Bobby Werner was killed,

509
00:25:27,456 --> 00:25:29,746
his partner asked the crime lab
to run prints.

510
00:25:29,747 --> 00:25:32,426
He said they were left by
someone who vandalized a store

511
00:25:32,427 --> 00:25:34,083
called Sand Dollar Beachwear,
but they weren't.

512
00:25:34,084 --> 00:25:35,912
They were left
at the scene of another crime.

513
00:25:35,913 --> 00:25:38,623
The theft of the gun
that was used to kill Bobby Werner.

514
00:25:38,709 --> 00:25:40,021
- What?
- Yeah.

515
00:25:40,022 --> 00:25:42,609
Ten years ago,
there weren't any hits off the prints,

516
00:25:42,610 --> 00:25:45,922
but it's possible the guy that really
did it has committed other crimes since then.

517
00:25:45,923 --> 00:25:47,853
If he got arrested
for even one of them...

518
00:25:47,856 --> 00:25:50,203
Yeah, he would be
in the system now.

519
00:25:50,341 --> 00:25:51,584
Yes.

520
00:25:52,516 --> 00:25:54,207
- [chuckles] Okay.
- What?

521
00:25:54,345 --> 00:25:57,625
Just... I thought
I made myself clear yesterday

522
00:25:57,763 --> 00:26:00,473
that I'm not comfortable
helping you with any of this.

523
00:26:00,766 --> 00:26:01,816
You did.

524
00:26:01,870 --> 00:26:03,941
R.J., do you remember
how we met?

525
00:26:04,079 --> 00:26:06,634
You asked me
to run prints then too.

526
00:26:06,772 --> 00:26:08,946
Right? You were trying
to help your ex, Emi.

527
00:26:08,947 --> 00:26:11,948
It makes me wonder
your willingness to go against Mel

528
00:26:11,949 --> 00:26:15,746
to come and ask
me for help again, even after I told you not to.

529
00:26:16,436 --> 00:26:19,626
I mean, how much
of this is really about helping Gabriel Romero

530
00:26:19,888 --> 00:26:21,878
and how much of it is
about helping Emi?

531
00:26:24,444 --> 00:26:27,620
What I'm trying to do here,
free a guy who might be innocent,

532
00:26:27,758 --> 00:26:30,948
catch a guy who may have killed
a cop, it has nothing to do with us.

533
00:26:31,072 --> 00:26:32,901
Nothing. It's bigger than us.

534
00:26:33,039 --> 00:26:36,802
Oh, I agree. The question is,
is it bigger than you and Emi?

535
00:26:39,218 --> 00:26:40,599
[sighs]

536
00:26:42,221 --> 00:26:43,271
Right.

537
00:26:44,361 --> 00:26:48,031
Yeah, I'll look into finding
the Sand Dollar Beachwear report from 2016.

538
00:26:48,158 --> 00:26:51,368
I'll run the prints again.
Anything comes of it, I will call you.

539
00:26:53,335 --> 00:26:54,785
Anything doesn't, I won't.

540
00:26:57,926 --> 00:26:59,721
- [phone ringing]
- [sighs]

541
00:27:03,035 --> 00:27:06,452
- Hey, buddy.
- [Wish] Remember Manolo from Apalachee?

542
00:27:06,590 --> 00:27:09,144
Yeah, he stole a horse trailer,

543
00:27:09,145 --> 00:27:12,008
ended up with a kidnapping charge
'cause there was a jockey inside.

544
00:27:12,009 --> 00:27:13,804
Well, Manolo's out now.

545
00:27:13,942 --> 00:27:18,188
He gave me a lead on that other guy
Gabriel was squatting with, Grey Worm.

546
00:27:18,189 --> 00:27:20,638
Unfortunately, he didn't have
a current address,

547
00:27:20,639 --> 00:27:25,091
but Manolo did know
where Grey Worm's gonna be at 5:00 today.

548
00:27:26,472 --> 00:27:28,822
I ain't been called Grey Worm
since I got clean.

549
00:27:29,855 --> 00:27:31,166
Six years.

550
00:27:31,995 --> 00:27:35,065
Folks used to think
I looked like the guy from Game of Thrones.

551
00:27:35,999 --> 00:27:39,036
Skinny, quiet, dangerous.

552
00:27:40,313 --> 00:27:41,867
Drugs had a hand in all three.

553
00:27:42,488 --> 00:27:45,249
Did you have many run-ins
with the cops back then?

554
00:27:45,387 --> 00:27:47,458
Uh, how many's "many"?

555
00:27:48,923 --> 00:27:55,811
Look, if y'all are here to ask me
if I helped Gabriel kill that cop, then-

556
00:27:55,812 --> 00:27:58,282
Actually, we don't think
anyone helped Gabriel.

557
00:27:58,283 --> 00:28:00,505
We don't think he had
anything to do with it.

558
00:28:00,506 --> 00:28:01,989
The gun that was used
to kill Werner,

559
00:28:01,990 --> 00:28:04,164
it was actually stolen
out of someone's apartment.

560
00:28:04,165 --> 00:28:05,855
Whoever did it
left fingerprints.

561
00:28:05,856 --> 00:28:08,962
Those fingerprints are being
run through the system right now.

562
00:28:08,963 --> 00:28:12,069
They won't be mine.
Look, I never messed with no guns.

563
00:28:12,932 --> 00:28:15,942
So if your next question is,
"Well, where were you the night

564
00:28:16,004 --> 00:28:19,249
the cop got shot," my answer
is Cypress Bay Medical.

565
00:28:21,113 --> 00:28:24,564
I OD'd. Almost died.

566
00:28:25,289 --> 00:28:28,189
I won't have the records,
but they will, so you can ask 'em.

567
00:28:28,879 --> 00:28:32,745
Or you could trust me
when I say Gabriel did do what they say.

568
00:28:34,885 --> 00:28:37,115
I'm sorry, how can you be
so sure about that?

569
00:28:37,116 --> 00:28:41,649
You know where me and him
were staying back then, house off Powerline?

570
00:28:41,650 --> 00:28:44,550
The night after I got out
of the hospital, I went back.

571
00:28:44,551 --> 00:28:47,966
I heard Gabriel got arrested,
figured I'd go back and get my stuff

572
00:28:47,967 --> 00:28:50,141
before the cops
found the place, turned it upside down.

573
00:28:50,142 --> 00:28:54,077
Only I walk in
on someone, member of the Los Cuerpos de Sangre.

574
00:28:54,215 --> 00:28:56,458
- You know them?
- Yeah, I do. Street gang.

575
00:28:56,459 --> 00:28:59,253
Next thing I know,
I'm up against a wall with a gun to my head.

576
00:28:59,254 --> 00:29:01,290
"Is this where
Gabriel Romero crashes?

577
00:29:01,291 --> 00:29:03,568
Which room is his?
Where does he keep his stuff?"

578
00:29:03,569 --> 00:29:06,123
- What was
his interest in Gabriel? - Her interest.

579
00:29:06,710 --> 00:29:07,815
Isn't it obvious?

580
00:29:08,470 --> 00:29:11,301
Los Cuerpos put Gabriel up
to shooting that cop.

581
00:29:11,957 --> 00:29:13,786
It was a hit.

582
00:29:13,787 --> 00:29:16,236
Only reason
she would've been there.

583
00:29:16,237 --> 00:29:18,963
They heard he got scooped up,
sent someone to the house to make sure

584
00:29:18,964 --> 00:29:21,932
that there was nothing there
to connect them to Gabriel.

585
00:29:22,968 --> 00:29:25,833
Yeah, what if she wasn't there
to-to clean anything?

586
00:29:25,834 --> 00:29:27,834
I mean, what if she was there
to plant something?

587
00:29:27,835 --> 00:29:30,907
The hoodie. The one with
the skeleton hands on the back.

588
00:29:31,045 --> 00:29:32,494
Los Cuerpos kills Werner.

589
00:29:32,632 --> 00:29:35,325
Uh, the cops start zeroing in
on Gabriel,

590
00:29:35,463 --> 00:29:38,053
so the gang starts feeding them
evidence that fits.

591
00:29:38,362 --> 00:29:40,813
The woman you saw,
can you describe her?

592
00:29:41,469 --> 00:29:42,642
Twenty something.

593
00:29:43,298 --> 00:29:44,990
Little thing. Latina.

594
00:29:45,128 --> 00:29:48,798
She cussed me out in Spanish
before taking off on a red Ducati motorcycle.

595
00:29:51,134 --> 00:29:53,964
- Are you sure about
the motorcycle? - Positive.

596
00:29:59,970 --> 00:30:01,178
Is that her?

597
00:30:02,490 --> 00:30:04,837
Yeah. Yeah, man, definitely.

598
00:30:04,975 --> 00:30:06,665
Guess who used
to own a red Ducati.

599
00:30:27,377 --> 00:30:30,587
Breaking into a cop's house
is a good way to get yourself shot.

600
00:30:31,484 --> 00:30:33,284
I have a key to this place, remember?

601
00:30:34,798 --> 00:30:40,562
I didn't break in anywhere,
unlike you, ten years ago.

602
00:30:41,287 --> 00:30:44,057
The abandoned house
where Gabriel Romero was staying.

603
00:30:44,704 --> 00:30:47,707
I found the guy
you put the fear of God into that night.

604
00:30:48,639 --> 00:30:51,642
He remembered you.
He remembered your old motorcycle.

605
00:30:54,783 --> 00:30:58,304
Gabriel was scooped up
just one day after he shot Bobby.

606
00:30:58,305 --> 00:31:01,444
The detectives who were
handling the interviews, they were friends.

607
00:31:01,445 --> 00:31:05,691
They told me they knew
he was the guy, but there was a problem.

608
00:31:05,692 --> 00:31:07,174
They didn't have
a murder weapon,

609
00:31:07,175 --> 00:31:09,833
no prints, no DNA,
no physical evidence, period.

610
00:31:11,076 --> 00:31:12,456
So I went looking for some.

611
00:31:13,561 --> 00:31:15,114
I took a personal day.

612
00:31:15,252 --> 00:31:19,878
I hit the streets, asked
around, found somebody who knew someone,

613
00:31:19,879 --> 00:31:23,604
who heard a rumor that Gabriel had
been squatting in some abandoned house.

614
00:31:23,605 --> 00:31:26,436
So I went to that house,
and I'm not there 60 seconds

615
00:31:26,437 --> 00:31:28,161
before some other junkie
comes in.

616
00:31:28,162 --> 00:31:31,303
So I think fast, I tell him
I run with Los Cuerpos,

617
00:31:31,304 --> 00:31:33,752
just anything to keep him
from thinking that I'm a cop,

618
00:31:33,753 --> 00:31:35,686
and then he confirms it to me.

619
00:31:35,824 --> 00:31:37,378
I had the right place.

620
00:31:37,516 --> 00:31:39,566
This was where Gabriel
had been staying.

621
00:31:39,567 --> 00:31:43,107
Meanwhile, Gabriel's on, what,
hour 30 of being interrogated?

622
00:31:43,108 --> 00:31:46,076
At least. And he was still
crying, still playing the victim.

623
00:31:46,214 --> 00:31:48,527
And just like that,
anonymous tip comes in.

624
00:31:48,528 --> 00:31:52,081
It's about the house. The cops go
there, they find the shooter's hoodie.

625
00:31:52,082 --> 00:31:53,324
No, they find Gabriel's hoodie.

626
00:31:53,325 --> 00:31:55,435
And that's the straw
that breaks his back.

627
00:31:55,436 --> 00:31:58,122
- He confesses.
- I know what you're thinking.

628
00:31:58,123 --> 00:32:00,503
You think I called in the tip,
but you know what the funny part is?

629
00:32:00,504 --> 00:32:04,060
All that work for por nada,
the tip came from someone else.

630
00:32:04,198 --> 00:32:07,960
That was fine by me because
all I cared about was justice for Bobby.

631
00:32:08,547 --> 00:32:10,963
It's funny, you being
inside the house

632
00:32:10,964 --> 00:32:13,447
the night before the cops found
the shooter's hoodie there.

633
00:32:13,448 --> 00:32:15,002
I'm sorry, excuse me?

634
00:32:15,003 --> 00:32:17,451
Maybe when you heard there was
no evidence to use against Gabriel,

635
00:32:17,452 --> 00:32:20,144
you didn't just go looking
for some, you created some.

636
00:32:20,145 --> 00:32:23,155
You found a hoodie just
like the shooter wore. You planted it.

637
00:32:24,597 --> 00:32:27,307
- You've lost your damn mind.
- I came here as a courtesy.

638
00:32:27,308 --> 00:32:30,706
Remember the murder weapon
nobody could find back then? I found it.

639
00:32:30,707 --> 00:32:32,708
I traced it to the person
it was stolen from.

640
00:32:32,709 --> 00:32:36,436
Right now I'm waiting on evidence that
could tell me exactly who killed Bobby.

641
00:32:36,437 --> 00:32:38,957
If it does,
everything's gonna come out.

642
00:32:39,750 --> 00:32:40,820
Everything.

643
00:32:42,305 --> 00:32:44,535
So you can believe
that I planted evidence,

644
00:32:44,617 --> 00:32:46,240
but you can't believe

645
00:32:46,378 --> 00:32:49,808
that Gabriel Romero is guilty
of a murder he actually confessed to?

646
00:32:50,796 --> 00:32:52,246
You know me.

647
00:32:53,626 --> 00:32:55,076
Not lately.

648
00:33:02,773 --> 00:33:04,016
[knocking on door]

649
00:33:07,330 --> 00:33:08,380
Hi.

650
00:33:09,677 --> 00:33:10,816
Hey.

651
00:33:10,954 --> 00:33:12,438
- Hey.
- Come on in.

652
00:33:15,062 --> 00:33:17,412
- I was worried about
you last night. - Oh, yeah?

653
00:33:17,443 --> 00:33:20,584
Everything you told me about
your conversation with Mel...

654
00:33:20,722 --> 00:33:23,173
Well, had to be done.

655
00:33:25,693 --> 00:33:27,143
- Here.
- Thank you.

656
00:33:30,077 --> 00:33:35,392
Still no word about
the fingerprints from your, uh, friend?

657
00:33:36,014 --> 00:33:39,120
To be fair, that was a... that
was a hard conversation too.

658
00:33:39,140 --> 00:33:41,984
If she doesn't find the report

659
00:33:41,985 --> 00:33:44,055
that Bobby's old partner
says he submitted back then,

660
00:33:44,056 --> 00:33:47,611
or if she does, but the prints
still aren't in the system,

661
00:33:49,234 --> 00:33:53,272
she may not call me
at all, so...

662
00:33:57,276 --> 00:34:00,417
Well, I wanted
to thank you again for- for doing this.

663
00:34:01,211 --> 00:34:02,695
I know, it's not easy.

664
00:34:03,317 --> 00:34:06,768
Yeah, I mean, if helping people
like Gabriel were easy,

665
00:34:06,906 --> 00:34:08,286
everybody would be doing it.

666
00:34:08,322 --> 00:34:10,841
No, I don't think they would.

667
00:34:13,223 --> 00:34:15,605
You're a good man, R.J. Decker.

668
00:34:17,848 --> 00:34:18,898
I'm glad you're...

669
00:34:20,472 --> 00:34:21,749
I'm glad you're my friend.

670
00:34:27,375 --> 00:34:28,997
[phone ringing]

671
00:34:29,584 --> 00:34:30,792
Sorry.

672
00:34:33,588 --> 00:34:34,969
Ah.

673
00:34:40,388 --> 00:34:43,219
- Hey.
- [Mel] Hey. Can we meet?

674
00:34:51,986 --> 00:34:53,036
No one else is here?

675
00:34:53,505 --> 00:34:54,885
No. [sighs]

676
00:34:55,472 --> 00:34:58,242
In case you're wondering,
I have a key to this place too.

677
00:34:58,613 --> 00:34:59,993
What are we doing here, Mel?

678
00:35:01,789 --> 00:35:04,585
I'm about to owe
a whole bunch of people apologies.

679
00:35:05,206 --> 00:35:06,896
I figured I should start
with you.

680
00:35:08,175 --> 00:35:12,765
First, I want you to know that everything
I told you last night was the truth.

681
00:35:13,318 --> 00:35:17,080
I did not plant that hoodie,
and it matters to me that you know that.

682
00:35:19,979 --> 00:35:21,188
I believe you.

683
00:35:23,535 --> 00:35:25,916
I know everything now,
or at least I know a lot.

684
00:35:26,572 --> 00:35:30,482
The gun you found, the one that was
used to kill Bobby, he said someone stole it.

685
00:35:30,483 --> 00:35:32,232
The person who stole it,
they left prints,

686
00:35:32,233 --> 00:35:34,523
prints that you think
belonged to the killer.

687
00:35:35,892 --> 00:35:37,756
So you talked to Trudy?

688
00:35:40,483 --> 00:35:42,413
Hey, Mel, what is it?
What's going on?

689
00:35:43,831 --> 00:35:47,261
She found something, something
that has to go through channels now.

690
00:35:48,146 --> 00:35:52,356
And there's, um, still some things I wanna
ask you about because I wanna understand.

691
00:35:53,668 --> 00:35:56,671
If it's gonna mean
that I had it wrong and you had it right,

692
00:35:57,914 --> 00:36:02,332
then Gabriel Romero spent the last ten
years of his life in prison for nothing.

693
00:36:10,927 --> 00:36:12,031
I-I just...

694
00:36:12,860 --> 00:36:15,345
I-I-I don't understand.

695
00:36:15,346 --> 00:36:19,486
All these years being told it was
Gabriel, that it could only be Gabriel.

696
00:36:19,487 --> 00:36:21,213
I know, I know it's a lot.

697
00:36:22,525 --> 00:36:25,873
The gun, you-you said
it belonged to Flynn Magnuson.

698
00:36:25,874 --> 00:36:29,358
You don't think he had
anything to do with Bobby getting killed?

699
00:36:29,359 --> 00:36:31,084
No, he said it was stolen.
I believe him.

700
00:36:31,085 --> 00:36:33,535
Respectfully, I don't know you,
so I don't know why

701
00:36:33,536 --> 00:36:35,192
I should listen
to anything you believe.

702
00:36:35,193 --> 00:36:39,127
I know it's hard,
but all the evidence says Gabriel was framed.

703
00:36:39,818 --> 00:36:44,995
The person who did it,
they were meticulous, evil.

704
00:36:46,411 --> 00:36:49,172
I'm confused. Are you saying
you know who killed him?

705
00:36:50,242 --> 00:36:51,292
Don't you?

706
00:36:52,831 --> 00:36:55,181
I'm guessing Bobby told you
about the drop gun.

707
00:36:55,182 --> 00:36:57,697
He was pissed at Flynn,
probably talked it out with you,

708
00:36:57,698 --> 00:36:59,043
and knowing him, he was torn.

709
00:36:59,044 --> 00:37:00,596
He didn't wanna have
anything to do with the gun,

710
00:37:00,597 --> 00:37:02,495
but he didn't want
to jam up Flynn either.

711
00:37:02,496 --> 00:37:05,086
Yeah, Bobby told you
about Gabriel too, didn't he?

712
00:37:05,087 --> 00:37:07,603
That Gabriel had threatened him
a few times.

713
00:37:07,604 --> 00:37:10,882
You went and did a little
detective work of your own, looked into Gabriel,

714
00:37:10,883 --> 00:37:14,922
found out where he spent his nights,
an abandoned house off Powerline Road.

715
00:37:15,612 --> 00:37:18,857
Gabriel was much
smaller back then, barely out of his teens.

716
00:37:19,513 --> 00:37:21,239
Your build, his build?

717
00:37:21,377 --> 00:37:24,587
It would have been hard
to tell them apart in a big, bulky hoodie.

718
00:37:24,588 --> 00:37:27,623
Flynn Magnuson, not a good cop,
he'd tell you that himself,

719
00:37:27,624 --> 00:37:30,694
but he did do one smart thing
after someone stole his drop gun.

720
00:37:31,041 --> 00:37:32,180
He looked for prints.

721
00:37:32,181 --> 00:37:34,251
Ten years ago,
when he tried to run them,

722
00:37:34,252 --> 00:37:36,362
you weren't in the system,
but you are now.

723
00:37:36,363 --> 00:37:38,565
Thanks of all things
to you volunteering

724
00:37:38,566 --> 00:37:40,774
to chaperone field trips
at your daughter's school.

725
00:37:40,775 --> 00:37:42,156
Mel, this is insane.

726
00:37:42,294 --> 00:37:44,089
Why would I kill Bobby?

727
00:37:44,090 --> 00:37:46,573
Usually it's about
sex or money. In this case we're thinking money.

728
00:37:46,574 --> 00:37:49,507
Bobby's death came
with a significant line of duty payout,

729
00:37:49,508 --> 00:37:52,511
lifetime benefits,
tuition waivers for your kid.

730
00:37:52,512 --> 00:37:55,237
And there's the fact that
Bobby wasn't your first husband to die

731
00:37:55,238 --> 00:37:56,722
under tragic circumstances.

732
00:37:56,723 --> 00:38:00,380
Jessica isn't actually
your first name, it's your middle name,

733
00:38:00,381 --> 00:38:04,005
and you only started
going by it when you came here from Michigan.

734
00:38:04,006 --> 00:38:08,354
Gladwin, to be specific, that's where
you married your high school sweetheart, Kyle.

735
00:38:08,355 --> 00:38:10,529
He died in a car crash
when you were both 19.

736
00:38:10,667 --> 00:38:14,757
Only three months after you convinced
him to take out a big life insurance policy.

737
00:38:14,758 --> 00:38:18,225
A lot of people in Gladwin
think you steered into that tree on purpose.

738
00:38:18,226 --> 00:38:21,022
Mel, we're friends.

739
00:38:22,817 --> 00:38:26,511
The only, and I mean
the only thing about you

740
00:38:26,649 --> 00:38:29,790
I don't think is a lie
is your love for Danielle,

741
00:38:29,928 --> 00:38:35,036
and you can spare her some pain
and confusion if you just come clean now.

742
00:38:40,214 --> 00:38:41,664
No, I don't think so.

743
00:38:44,425 --> 00:38:45,599
There's a team outside.

744
00:38:45,600 --> 00:38:50,982
It's a warrant to search your
house, your financials, your computer.

745
00:38:50,983 --> 00:38:54,159
Let's see just
how many problems Bobby's death solved for you.

746
00:38:59,095 --> 00:39:01,565
[Kelly] An evidentiary
hearing's been granted.

747
00:39:04,307 --> 00:39:05,357
That fast?

748
00:39:05,358 --> 00:39:06,757
[Emi] I pulled a few strings.

749
00:39:06,758 --> 00:39:09,243
I used some
of my father's old connections

750
00:39:09,381 --> 00:39:12,631
to get Kelly an immediate
chamber meeting with your trial judge.

751
00:39:14,041 --> 00:39:15,629
Am I getting out?

752
00:39:15,767 --> 00:39:19,184
There's still work to do,
but if the state attorney's office

753
00:39:19,322 --> 00:39:23,464
agrees to an uncontested
motion, you could be out within 90 days.

754
00:39:27,710 --> 00:39:28,814
[Emi] We saw your mom.

755
00:39:29,608 --> 00:39:31,230
We gave her the good news.

756
00:39:32,024 --> 00:39:34,233
She's doing well,
she can't wait to see you.

757
00:39:37,789 --> 00:39:38,839
Thank you.

758
00:39:43,726 --> 00:39:47,212
Ten years, ten freaking years
of holding that woman's hand,

759
00:39:47,350 --> 00:39:49,110
thinking she was my friend.

760
00:39:49,111 --> 00:39:51,698
You know, think of
the stupidest you've ever felt

761
00:39:51,699 --> 00:39:55,289
multiply that times 1000,
that's how stupid I feel.

762
00:39:56,048 --> 00:39:58,338
I don't want to turn this
into a competition,

763
00:39:58,430 --> 00:40:02,227
but I've felt pretty stupid
a few times.

764
00:40:02,365 --> 00:40:03,608
[scoffs]

765
00:40:04,816 --> 00:40:06,127
And whatever she is,

766
00:40:06,265 --> 00:40:08,820
sociopath, psychopath,
malignant narcissist,

767
00:40:08,958 --> 00:40:12,168
all of the above,
she was a very good actress.

768
00:40:14,446 --> 00:40:18,236
You guys didn't happen to find any
smoking guns after I left today, did you?

769
00:40:18,416 --> 00:40:20,521
I'm hoping it's just
a matter of time.

770
00:40:21,522 --> 00:40:22,730
To Bobby.

771
00:40:24,076 --> 00:40:25,284
Hell yeah.

772
00:40:28,364 --> 00:40:32,463
Sounds like you really
stepped in it with Trudy.

773
00:40:32,464 --> 00:40:34,190
[laughing] No way.

774
00:40:34,191 --> 00:40:37,779
[chuckles] Yeah, Jessica's fingerprints
weren't the only thing we talked about.

775
00:40:37,780 --> 00:40:41,369
Don't worry, you leave it
to your hermana, I'll handle it.

776
00:40:41,508 --> 00:40:42,558
I'll take care of it.

777
00:40:42,612 --> 00:40:43,820
Got it.

778
00:40:43,958 --> 00:40:45,477
[phone ringing]

779
00:40:51,720 --> 00:40:55,141
Change your mind
about confessing?

780
00:40:55,142 --> 00:40:56,419
[Jessica] No.

781
00:40:57,247 --> 00:41:00,377
I'm not worried
about the things you took out of my house today.

782
00:41:00,630 --> 00:41:03,820
They're not going
to help you prove this insane theory of yours.

783
00:41:04,047 --> 00:41:05,739
[? "Cities in Dust" playing]

784
00:41:05,877 --> 00:41:08,017
There is one thing
I can't get past though.

785
00:41:10,882 --> 00:41:17,233
Bobby's parents were granted
emergency temporary custody of Danielle today.

786
00:41:19,166 --> 00:41:20,650
It happened so fast.

787
00:41:22,721 --> 00:41:28,451
It's almost like someone knew
how preoccupied I would be.

788
00:41:29,625 --> 00:41:33,115
You know, most crazy people I've
met, they don't know they're crazy,

789
00:41:33,116 --> 00:41:34,905
but even you have to see
you're not the person

790
00:41:34,906 --> 00:41:36,908
she should be
with right now, right?

791
00:41:40,152 --> 00:41:42,396
I don't know who I am
without her, Mel.

792
00:41:48,747 --> 00:41:53,545
I wonder who you'll be
without your family.

793
00:41:54,822 --> 00:41:55,892
What?

794
00:41:58,826 --> 00:42:01,484
Jessica, tell me where you are.

795
00:42:03,037 --> 00:42:04,087
Jessica.

796
00:42:05,868 --> 00:42:06,938
Jessica?

797
00:42:09,388 --> 00:42:11,529
Jessica? Jessica, please.

798
00:42:13,772 --> 00:42:14,822
Jessica?

799
00:42:16,706 --> 00:42:17,845
Jessica?

800
00:42:19,985 --> 00:42:23,402
Jessica, please tell me
where you are right now, Jessica.

801
00:42:24,852 --> 00:42:25,991
Jessica!

802
00:42:26,041 --> 00:42:30,591
