The following story is fictional and does
not depict any actual person or event.
2
00:00:05,704 --> 00:00:08,299
In New York City's war on crime,
3
00:00:08,299 --> 00:00:11,451
the worst criminal offenders
are pursued by the detectives
4
00:00:11,451 --> 00:00:13,259
of the Major Case Squad.
5
00:00:13,259 --> 00:00:15,125
These are their stories.
6
00:00:25,739 --> 00:00:27,378
You give great mic.
7
00:00:28,108 --> 00:00:29,487
Came by messenger, Elliot.
8
00:00:29,487 --> 00:00:31,702
It's marked "Urgent" and "Personal."
9
00:00:31,702 --> 00:00:32,926
Okay.
10
00:00:40,522 --> 00:00:42,440
Elliot, Elliot. Calm down.
11
00:00:42,440 --> 00:00:46,141
There is nothing that says that these
pictures have to run in my column.
12
00:01:00,961 --> 00:01:03,156
Not now, Evie,
we're about to go live.
13
00:01:04,350 --> 00:01:06,101
Opened it by mistake.
14
00:01:10,718 --> 00:01:13,631
TK, it's somebody named Elliot.
15
00:01:14,293 --> 00:01:16,223
He sounds upset.
16
00:01:16,954 --> 00:01:20,145
Thanks, sis.
You're late for school.
17
00:01:20,145 --> 00:01:21,397
Bye.
18
00:01:26,365 --> 00:01:28,792
Elliot. You got my package.
19
00:01:29,186 --> 00:01:31,467
It's not a bribe.
It's an opportunity.
20
00:01:31,467 --> 00:01:33,530
This is gonna be the hot new place.
21
00:01:33,530 --> 00:01:35,105
This is the final payment?
22
00:01:35,105 --> 00:01:38,039
The cat's in the bag
and the bag's in the river.
23
00:01:38,039 --> 00:01:40,161
Come on, push.
Get him to say it.
24
00:01:40,161 --> 00:01:42,407
In English.
25
00:01:42,407 --> 00:01:44,463
The pictures go away, right?
26
00:01:44,463 --> 00:01:45,637
Right.
27
00:01:48,092 --> 00:01:51,908
Look, I'm not out to ruin your life.
28
00:01:51,908 --> 00:01:54,511
You're an eagle scout
compared to some.
29
00:01:54,511 --> 00:01:57,707
It's not like you tried
to take advantage of some nun
30
00:01:57,707 --> 00:02:00,094
or some naive little high school girl.
31
00:02:01,139 --> 00:02:05,058
Some bum does that, there is
not enough money in the world.
32
00:02:06,238 --> 00:02:08,310
I do have a little integrity.
33
00:02:11,319 --> 00:02:12,635
What the hell was that?
34
00:02:17,891 --> 00:02:19,198
Help me.
35
00:02:20,181 --> 00:02:22,125
I can't hear anything.
36
00:02:22,903 --> 00:02:24,987
I can't hear anything!

43
00:03:20,179 --> 00:03:21,518
Hey, Wheeler.
44
00:03:21,898 --> 00:03:24,230
So you were overseas for six months.
The city's quiet.
45
00:03:24,230 --> 00:03:25,944
You come back, all hell breaks loose.
46
00:03:25,944 --> 00:03:27,444
I missed you too, Logan.
47
00:03:27,979 --> 00:03:31,609
Whoa, we got some crispy critters here.
48
00:03:31,609 --> 00:03:32,570
Catch me up.
49
00:03:32,570 --> 00:03:35,684
Victim's name was TK Richmond.
He worked for the Ledger.
50
00:03:35,684 --> 00:03:38,320
The DA's office
had him under surveillance.
51
00:03:38,714 --> 00:03:40,987
A gossip columnist?
What are you looking at him for?
52
00:03:40,987 --> 00:03:45,089
He was blackmailing Elliot Falls,
the local newscaster.
53
00:03:45,089 --> 00:03:48,106
- Gay sex?
- Nope. Call girls.
54
00:03:48,106 --> 00:03:50,408
Think Spitzer, not McGreevey.
55
00:03:50,408 --> 00:03:52,312
Elliot was wearing a wire
when the car blew.
56
00:03:52,312 --> 00:03:54,383
The bomb squad's trying
to piece together what happened.
57
00:03:54,383 --> 00:03:57,132
- And he survived this?
- Bellevue ER.
58
00:03:57,132 --> 00:03:59,918
Rattled, singed.
He'll be okay.
59
00:03:59,918 --> 00:04:01,961
Might need to speak up a little.
60
00:04:07,237 --> 00:04:11,042
I said, "who else knew
where you were meeting TK Richmond?"
61
00:04:11,042 --> 00:04:13,220
Just the guys from the DA's office.
62
00:04:13,220 --> 00:04:16,308
Look, I was trying to keep this quiet.
63
00:04:16,308 --> 00:04:18,182
For my family's sake.
64
00:04:18,182 --> 00:04:19,542
Good luck with that.
65
00:04:19,542 --> 00:04:21,737
How much did TK hit you up for?
66
00:04:21,737 --> 00:04:24,313
He'd already got me for 100 grand.
67
00:04:24,660 --> 00:04:27,240
Then he came back for another bite.
68
00:04:27,240 --> 00:04:32,586
Only this time, he got cagey.
He said it was for an investment.
69
00:04:32,586 --> 00:04:34,350
Some new restaurant.
70
00:04:34,350 --> 00:04:35,758
Place have a name?
71
00:04:35,758 --> 00:04:38,477
No. But I'd heard of the chef.
72
00:04:38,477 --> 00:04:40,503
He's been on our morning show.
73
00:04:42,349 --> 00:04:45,800
TK was always trying to get to the biz.
74
00:04:45,800 --> 00:04:48,211
He wanted to be a big player
in a corner booth.
75
00:04:48,211 --> 00:04:49,882
How big a player was he?
76
00:04:49,882 --> 00:04:54,938
The other day he told me
he reeled in a news guy for 50k.
77
00:04:54,938 --> 00:04:56,973
Was that his first fish?
78
00:04:56,973 --> 00:04:58,800
Three others.
$50,000 a pop.
79
00:04:58,800 --> 00:05:00,289
We're gonna need those names.
80
00:05:00,289 --> 00:05:03,202
Yeah, so am I.
I got architect bills, you know.
81
00:05:03,202 --> 00:05:05,233
You don't know your investors' names?
82
00:05:05,694 --> 00:05:10,115
Um, one of them is,
I think, into real estate.
83
00:05:10,115 --> 00:05:12,139
TK thought if he gave me the names,
84
00:05:12,139 --> 00:05:15,131
I'd go around 'em, which I would have.
85
00:05:15,655 --> 00:05:17,719
TK didn't have three other investors.
86
00:05:17,719 --> 00:05:19,614
He had three other marks
he was blackmailing.
87
00:05:19,614 --> 00:05:22,153
Elliot's dumb, but not dumb enough
to car-bomb himself.
88
00:05:22,153 --> 00:05:24,825
Maybe one of TK's other marks
blew up the deal.
89
00:05:25,843 --> 00:05:29,400
TK's been my legal guardian
since mom and dad died.
90
00:05:30,441 --> 00:05:33,069
He rented us this place last year.
91
00:05:33,526 --> 00:05:37,721
He knew that I wanted to stay in the city
and go to the performing arts high school.
92
00:05:37,721 --> 00:05:40,590
Your big brother,
he took care of you.
93
00:05:42,750 --> 00:05:44,617
Who would do this to him?
94
00:05:45,387 --> 00:05:48,119
Jeannie, you knew he was
a gossip columnist, right?
95
00:05:48,119 --> 00:05:49,880
Of course I did.
96
00:05:49,880 --> 00:05:52,276
He called me gal Friday.
97
00:05:52,523 --> 00:05:55,857
He'd write his columns, and
people would get mad, like that Elliot guy.
98
00:05:55,857 --> 00:05:58,551
And the next week,
they'd go out and laugh about it.
99
00:05:58,551 --> 00:06:01,235
Who else was angry besides Elliot?
100
00:06:01,659 --> 00:06:04,757
Once people got to know TK,
they really liked him.
101
00:06:04,757 --> 00:06:07,271
We'll need to see what stories
he was working on.
102
00:06:07,271 --> 00:06:08,911
Do you know where he kept his laptop?
103
00:06:08,911 --> 00:06:10,996
Only he didn't have one.
104
00:06:10,996 --> 00:06:14,619
He typed all of his stories
on that old Remington.
105
00:06:14,619 --> 00:06:18,493
And then I'd retype them on my desktop
and email them to the paper.
106
00:06:18,493 --> 00:06:20,584
Is this where he kept his fi...
107
00:06:20,584 --> 00:06:21,868
Whoa.
108
00:06:24,213 --> 00:06:26,786
We got valley of the dolls in here.
109
00:06:27,149 --> 00:06:29,511
Darvon. Secobarbital.
110
00:06:29,511 --> 00:06:31,514
Even his drugs were old school.
111
00:06:31,514 --> 00:06:34,207
He only used those to try to sleep.
112
00:06:35,768 --> 00:06:39,720
Well, maybe he didn't have a laptop,
but he must've kept notebooks.
113
00:06:39,720 --> 00:06:42,021
He didn't really take any notes.
114
00:06:42,021 --> 00:06:43,875
He didn't want
to get them subpoenaed.
115
00:06:43,875 --> 00:06:46,106
Sure. That makes sense.
116
00:06:46,106 --> 00:06:48,984
But the stories you typed for him.
Are they on your computer?
117
00:06:48,984 --> 00:06:53,145
Yeah. But if it's easier,
118
00:06:53,530 --> 00:06:56,122
I clipped every column he ever wrote.
119
00:06:57,607 --> 00:06:59,899
I'll go get you the scrapbook.
120
00:07:03,202 --> 00:07:07,092
Explosive itself isn't unusual.
Just a standard little pack of C4.
121
00:07:07,092 --> 00:07:08,356
How was it set off?
122
00:07:08,356 --> 00:07:09,857
Now that's interesting.
123
00:07:09,857 --> 00:07:12,464
TK pushed in the cigarette lighter,
124
00:07:12,464 --> 00:07:17,064
which sent the frequency
that ignited the charge in the headrest.
125
00:07:17,064 --> 00:07:19,876
It's been used a few times
in the Middle East, but not here.
126
00:07:19,876 --> 00:07:23,384
So we're looking for an old-time pro
who likes to stay on top of trends?
127
00:07:23,384 --> 00:07:25,683
Think Tony Bennett, not Steve and Eydie.
128
00:07:26,112 --> 00:07:28,912
Okay, Captain Petrosino.
Keep us posted.
129
00:07:29,843 --> 00:07:33,516
Not much, except whoever planted it
must've known TK was a smoker.
130
00:07:33,516 --> 00:07:35,287
Well, there's no great deduction there.
131
00:07:35,287 --> 00:07:38,640
He smoked everywhere.
The guy was a walking violation.
132
00:07:39,267 --> 00:07:41,891
Welcome back, Wheeler.
You were missed.
133
00:07:42,866 --> 00:07:45,241
Tan line on your ring finger.
134
00:07:45,241 --> 00:07:46,697
I got engaged.
135
00:07:46,697 --> 00:07:49,181
What? Since when?
136
00:07:49,181 --> 00:07:50,774
You'll meet him.
137
00:07:50,774 --> 00:07:54,897
TK's clips and phone records.
There may be a pattern.
138
00:07:54,897 --> 00:07:56,978
He would trash certain players relentlessly.
139
00:07:56,978 --> 00:07:59,421
Then there'd be a flurry
of back and forth phone calls.
140
00:07:59,421 --> 00:08:03,061
And suddenly he'd start writing
puff pieces about them.
141
00:08:03,061 --> 00:08:06,215
Hm. So he beat them till they beg for mercy,
and then he charged them.
142
00:08:06,215 --> 00:08:07,390
Who are we looking at?
143
00:08:07,390 --> 00:08:11,786
So far, a real estate developer,
a concert promoter, and a casino owner.
144
00:08:11,786 --> 00:08:14,703
Even odds on any of those worlds
breeding a killer.
145
00:08:15,069 --> 00:08:16,304
Track 'em down.
146
00:08:16,304 --> 00:08:21,039
Hey, remember the chef told us
that one of the investors was in real estate?
147
00:08:21,699 --> 00:08:24,714
It could be this blowhard.
148
00:08:24,714 --> 00:08:26,103
Ted Regan.
149
00:08:26,103 --> 00:08:29,453
He's got that big waterfront development
going up over in the West Side.
150
00:08:31,621 --> 00:08:34,697
By the way, Logan,
was this a, uh...
151
00:08:34,697 --> 00:08:36,501
welcome home gift?
152
00:08:36,501 --> 00:08:39,029
It's Falacci's.
She must have left it here by mistake.
153
00:08:39,029 --> 00:08:41,590
Yeah, I think she was marking my desk.
154
00:08:42,794 --> 00:08:44,845
She wanted to stay your partner.
155
00:08:44,845 --> 00:08:47,900
Well, hey, we got along okay.
156
00:08:47,900 --> 00:08:50,562
Believe it or not, she felt hamstrung
it made your case.
157
00:08:50,562 --> 00:08:52,598
She's training at Quantico.
158
00:08:53,678 --> 00:08:56,017
This should go over big with the feds.
159
00:08:57,885 --> 00:09:02,292
What? You gotta be kidding me.
$30 million. 30!
160
00:09:03,752 --> 00:09:06,732
This is Ted Regan you're dealing with here.
Not some pisser from Queens.
161
00:09:06,732 --> 00:09:08,774
Call me back when you grow a set.
162
00:09:10,111 --> 00:09:12,833
Sorry. Uh, what were we talking about?
163
00:09:12,833 --> 00:09:16,215
TK Richmond. He used to hit you
pretty hard in his column.
164
00:09:16,215 --> 00:09:20,886
He said your projects were bloated,
behind schedule, and over budget.
165
00:09:20,886 --> 00:09:23,622
My most recent projects,
he was a convert.
166
00:09:23,903 --> 00:09:26,384
Says I'm gonna be bigger than Donald Trump.
167
00:09:26,668 --> 00:09:28,837
So TK just saw the light?
168
00:09:29,470 --> 00:09:31,210
I do play to win.
169
00:09:31,210 --> 00:09:32,943
So did TK.
170
00:09:32,943 --> 00:09:35,577
- It turns out his column was for sale.
- Yeah.
171
00:09:35,577 --> 00:09:37,114
So is everything else in this town.
172
00:09:37,114 --> 00:09:39,511
Except TK used blackmail.
173
00:09:39,511 --> 00:09:42,948
You want me to research
what he had on you, Ted?
174
00:09:48,877 --> 00:09:51,035
TK was in a jam.
His sister moved in with him.
175
00:09:51,035 --> 00:09:52,119
They lived in a walk-up.
176
00:09:52,119 --> 00:09:53,850
So you gave them
one of your apartments.
177
00:09:53,850 --> 00:09:56,624
Yeah, it was a rental.
Legitimate lease.
178
00:09:56,624 --> 00:09:59,744
Stabilized. $1,100 a month.
Con Ed included.
179
00:09:59,744 --> 00:10:03,071
Wow. 2 bedrooms.
That's a steal.
180
00:10:03,071 --> 00:10:05,410
Yeah, I considered it
a long-term investment.
181
00:10:05,410 --> 00:10:08,583
Any other investments?
Maybe a restaurant?
182
00:10:09,038 --> 00:10:10,676
I might've put 100 into that.
183
00:10:10,676 --> 00:10:13,486
Why, he wasn't grateful
for how you helped him out?
184
00:10:13,486 --> 00:10:14,485
He pushed you?
185
00:10:14,485 --> 00:10:17,760
No, I pushed him, all right?
186
00:10:17,760 --> 00:10:20,614
I'm in the middle of a fight
with the City Planning Commission.
187
00:10:20,614 --> 00:10:22,530
I wanted him to bury anybody
188
00:10:22,530 --> 00:10:24,402
that was going to try and stop
Regan towers, all right?
189
00:10:24,402 --> 00:10:26,834
He dies now, not good.
190
00:10:26,834 --> 00:10:28,291
Not good at all.
191
00:10:28,734 --> 00:10:31,982
Listen, somebody in my business
would've killed him,
192
00:10:31,982 --> 00:10:33,857
you'd have never found the body.
193
00:10:37,195 --> 00:10:41,256
So my casino owner, your music exec,
and a real estate developer
194
00:10:41,256 --> 00:10:44,455
all claim to have good relationships with TK.
195
00:10:44,455 --> 00:10:45,642
Interesting.
196
00:10:45,642 --> 00:10:47,645
We underestimated the power of the press.
197
00:10:47,645 --> 00:10:50,604
He started out their extortionist,
ended up their publicist.
198
00:10:50,604 --> 00:10:53,301
Don't forget, he took in
half a million along the way.
199
00:10:53,301 --> 00:10:55,501
But the chef said
he hasn't seen a penny.
200
00:10:56,324 --> 00:11:00,116
Old car. Cheap rent.
What the hell did TK do with that money?
201
00:11:00,875 --> 00:11:02,121
He didn't need much.
202
00:11:02,121 --> 00:11:05,399
He said a gossip columnist
never had to pick up a check.
203
00:11:06,007 --> 00:11:09,002
I don't see any stocks or bonds.
Did he have property?
204
00:11:09,002 --> 00:11:11,801
No. He thought it would all crash.
205
00:11:12,536 --> 00:11:16,655
Um, excuse me.
I need to get ready. / Sure.
206
00:11:18,087 --> 00:11:19,621
How's his checking account?
207
00:11:19,621 --> 00:11:22,599
Up and down like a roller-coaster.
208
00:11:22,599 --> 00:11:29,353
Well, Rodgers said she didn't see
any drug habits except for pharmaceuticals.
209
00:11:29,353 --> 00:11:33,066
Big debits on Mondays in winter.
210
00:11:33,735 --> 00:11:35,473
How about spring?
211
00:11:36,143 --> 00:11:40,337
March, way down,
and then some deposits.
212
00:11:41,628 --> 00:11:44,512
Sunday football, March Madness,
April baseball.
213
00:11:44,512 --> 00:11:46,050
We may have a gambler here.
214
00:11:46,050 --> 00:11:48,341
Who was on a hot streak the last month.
215
00:11:50,809 --> 00:11:53,877
Whoa. Not enough to make up
for what he lost.
216
00:11:54,092 --> 00:11:56,278
I bet there's some angry bookies out there.
217
00:11:56,278 --> 00:11:59,583
I'm sorry, I don't want to keep
people waiting at the funeral.
218
00:11:59,583 --> 00:12:01,176
How about we give you a lift?
219
00:12:08,423 --> 00:12:11,039
New York is such a busy city.
220
00:12:11,039 --> 00:12:14,149
A lot of people just sent cards and bouquets.
221
00:12:15,296 --> 00:12:17,463
The arrangements are beautiful.
222
00:12:22,255 --> 00:12:26,984
Hey, three of his blackmail
victims sent flowers.
223
00:12:33,202 --> 00:12:35,711
- You know who I am?
- No.
224
00:12:35,711 --> 00:12:37,518
Does that look right to you?
225
00:12:38,754 --> 00:12:40,169
I'm not playing.
226
00:12:44,486 --> 00:12:45,518
Hey!
227
00:12:55,223 --> 00:12:57,291
Hey, hey, hey! You!
228
00:12:58,599 --> 00:12:59,946
You forget something?
229
00:13:03,825 --> 00:13:07,073
'K, Joey Snails.
You got a permit for that Browning?
230
00:13:07,073 --> 00:13:09,668
Look, guys, I got the diabetes.
I can't do anymore time.
231
00:13:09,668 --> 00:13:11,427
Can you give me
a little rhythm on this one?
232
00:13:11,427 --> 00:13:12,974
What were you doing at that service?
233
00:13:12,974 --> 00:13:14,202
Straight up?
234
00:13:14,202 --> 00:13:17,108
TK was a heavy duty gambler.
He owed my boss 50 large.
235
00:13:17,108 --> 00:13:18,354
Yeah, and now he's dead.
236
00:13:18,354 --> 00:13:20,083
Look, I had nothing to do with that.
237
00:13:20,447 --> 00:13:22,370
He's gone, makes it harder
for me to collect.
238
00:13:22,370 --> 00:13:24,152
I don't like bothering family at funerals.
239
00:13:24,152 --> 00:13:25,826
Besides, he was starting to dig out.
240
00:13:25,826 --> 00:13:27,186
TK didn't have any money.
241
00:13:27,186 --> 00:13:29,066
Did he say how he was working
his way back?
242
00:13:29,066 --> 00:13:31,849
We wouldn't take his book anymore.
But he had another runner in Chinatown.
243
00:13:31,849 --> 00:13:33,769
Last month or so, he got on a streak.
244
00:13:33,769 --> 00:13:35,623
- That's what he told you.
- Bragged about it.
245
00:13:35,623 --> 00:13:38,688
Said he had the inside line on which
players were doping to cover up injury.
246
00:13:38,688 --> 00:13:40,575
An inside line on just one team?
247
00:13:40,575 --> 00:13:43,622
No. Two sports.
Basketball and baseball.
248
00:13:43,622 --> 00:13:45,132
So is that enough?
249
00:13:45,392 --> 00:13:47,054
Sorry, Joey, but a gun's a gun.
250
00:13:47,054 --> 00:13:48,838
Can... can we get a bite?
I skipped breakfast.
251
00:13:48,838 --> 00:13:49,984
My sugars are crashing.
252
00:13:49,984 --> 00:13:53,492
We got a real nice brunch
down at One Police Plaza.
253
00:13:55,829 --> 00:13:58,257
TK never wrote about sports.
254
00:13:58,257 --> 00:13:59,639
Who's his inside line?
255
00:13:59,639 --> 00:14:02,682
I wonder if his "Dr. feelgood"
treated any athletes.
256
00:14:03,894 --> 00:14:06,188
The newer drugs never worked for TK.
257
00:14:06,608 --> 00:14:08,496
So I prescribed secobarbital.
258
00:14:08,496 --> 00:14:10,650
He liked that old Hollywood mystique.
259
00:14:10,650 --> 00:14:14,666
Dr. Jacoby, did TK ever ask you
about your other patients? Any athletes?
260
00:14:14,938 --> 00:14:16,319
Not that I can recall.
261
00:14:16,319 --> 00:14:18,030
But even if he did,
I can never talk about it.
262
00:14:18,030 --> 00:14:21,370
You know, doctor-patient confidentiality.
It's the law.
263
00:14:21,370 --> 00:14:26,140
Hey, listen. TK bragged that he had
inside information on players' injuries.
264
00:14:26,140 --> 00:14:31,124
So don't give us that doctor-patient
confidentiality crap. Okay?
265
00:14:31,124 --> 00:14:32,856
I'm a medical professional.
266
00:14:32,856 --> 00:14:35,467
Oh, then you wouldn't mind us
telling the state board
267
00:14:35,467 --> 00:14:37,954
that you're involved in
a homicide investigation.
268
00:14:37,954 --> 00:14:42,981
Detectives, call my lawyer if you
have any other questions.
269
00:14:46,402 --> 00:14:50,300
A doctor who keeps a criminal defense
lawyer's card in his pocket.
270
00:14:50,300 --> 00:14:52,299
Do you think that's a bad sign?
271
00:14:52,877 --> 00:14:54,432
I'd say so.
272
00:14:55,013 --> 00:14:56,761
Off the record, we got the records...
273
00:14:56,761 --> 00:15:01,587
Dr. Jacoby's name came up in a sports
steroids investigation a year and a half ago.
274
00:15:01,587 --> 00:15:04,550
The DEA's been tracking
his prescriptions ever since.
275
00:15:04,550 --> 00:15:07,492
And what a practice he has.
276
00:15:07,492 --> 00:15:11,201
Athletes juicing, musicians on painkillers.
277
00:15:11,201 --> 00:15:13,517
Actors on everything.
278
00:15:13,517 --> 00:15:15,441
Is that Spencer London?
279
00:15:15,441 --> 00:15:20,793
It was. Spencer London died
on a movie set in Louisiana last month.
280
00:15:21,554 --> 00:15:24,418
In one of his columns,
TK ran a blind item
281
00:15:24,418 --> 00:15:28,314
about a movie star in trouble down south.
282
00:15:29,477 --> 00:15:31,810
Here it is. Bayou Binge.
283
00:15:31,810 --> 00:15:34,853
"What film crew is worried
their male star is popping so many pills,
284
00:15:34,853 --> 00:15:36,885
he'll never make it to wrap."
285
00:15:37,427 --> 00:15:40,717
The press called Spencer's death
heart failure.
286
00:15:40,717 --> 00:15:42,707
What was Jacoby feeding him?
287
00:15:43,391 --> 00:15:44,709
Well...
288
00:15:48,592 --> 00:15:51,862
Um, here we go.
289
00:15:51,862 --> 00:15:56,736
Anti-anxiety. Antidepressants.
Sleeping pills. Painkillers.
290
00:15:56,736 --> 00:15:58,550
Anything for his heart?
291
00:15:59,001 --> 00:16:00,644
None of the above.
292
00:16:01,280 --> 00:16:03,891
Spencer dropped dead
before the movie finished shooting.
293
00:16:03,891 --> 00:16:06,126
Find out if TK visited the set.
294
00:16:20,125 --> 00:16:23,098
The movie is called Contract Man.
295
00:16:23,098 --> 00:16:25,409
We're hoping for a Christmas release.
296
00:16:26,528 --> 00:16:29,004
You were able to finish the shoot
after Spencer died?
297
00:16:29,004 --> 00:16:32,839
Well, we did need to use a double
for the last couple days of shooting.
298
00:16:32,839 --> 00:16:35,551
Look at Spencer.
Look at how great he looks.
299
00:16:35,551 --> 00:16:38,418
Given his history,
hiring him was risky.
300
00:16:38,418 --> 00:16:41,054
But I knew that he had this role in him.
301
00:16:41,054 --> 00:16:44,354
Ms. Tyson. If he looked so great,
302
00:16:44,354 --> 00:16:47,711
why did you have to fly
Dr. Jacoby down to the set to see him?
303
00:16:47,711 --> 00:16:51,318
Well, Spencer started to feel sick
towards the end of the shoot.
304
00:16:51,318 --> 00:16:54,570
but he was a real trooper.
He wanted us to stay on schedule.
305
00:16:54,570 --> 00:16:57,060
So the doctor gave him
a few B-12 shots.
306
00:16:57,060 --> 00:16:58,273
Some antibiotics.
307
00:16:58,273 --> 00:17:02,014
No. The doctor gave him
half a dozen schedule II drugs.
308
00:17:02,014 --> 00:17:04,892
We have the DEA records.
None of them were for his heart condition.
309
00:17:04,892 --> 00:17:05,987
Of course they weren't.
310
00:17:05,987 --> 00:17:09,337
His heart condition was congenital.
He never even knew about it.
311
00:17:09,337 --> 00:17:12,208
Did you see that blind item
about Spencer in TK's column?
312
00:17:12,208 --> 00:17:15,229
Those blind items can be about anyone.
313
00:17:15,229 --> 00:17:16,970
Was TK around during the shoot?
314
00:17:16,970 --> 00:17:20,534
No. He came down
for the memorial service.
315
00:17:20,534 --> 00:17:24,108
He flirted with a few extras.
He ate some alligator sausage.
316
00:17:24,108 --> 00:17:26,580
And then he went to New Orleans.
317
00:17:26,580 --> 00:17:28,281
He's a gossip columnist.
318
00:17:28,281 --> 00:17:31,829
And he never asked about your
"Dr. Feelgood" or Spencer's drug use?
319
00:17:31,829 --> 00:17:35,674
Honestly, this is the first time
I'm hearing about any of it.
320
00:17:36,253 --> 00:17:39,934
Spencer was giving
the performance of his life.
321
00:17:39,934 --> 00:17:44,713
And before you two showed up,
the only scandal surrounding his death
322
00:17:44,713 --> 00:17:49,771
was that he had a heart condition
that nobody knew about until it was too late.
323
00:17:51,838 --> 00:17:54,887
Spencer London
did have a fatal heart attack,
324
00:17:54,887 --> 00:17:58,148
and he did have a congenital defect.
325
00:17:58,937 --> 00:18:01,729
He died of an aortic aneurysm.
326
00:18:01,729 --> 00:18:04,139
It's like a bomb going off in your chest.
327
00:18:04,557 --> 00:18:07,601
The artery ruptured, and he was
probably dead in about 30 seconds.
328
00:18:07,601 --> 00:18:10,595
- It ruptured on its own.
- Well, it might have eventually.
329
00:18:10,595 --> 00:18:12,060
And it was a reasonable call
330
00:18:12,060 --> 00:18:14,711
until the tox screen
came back a few weeks later.
331
00:18:15,189 --> 00:18:17,864
And Spencer had
so many drugs in his system.
332
00:18:17,864 --> 00:18:20,691
It's a wonder his heart
didn't burst sooner.
333
00:18:20,691 --> 00:18:24,223
Why do all cops think if they just stayed
in school, they could've been doctors?
334
00:18:25,037 --> 00:18:26,579
So the coroner missed it.
335
00:18:26,579 --> 00:18:28,543
Well, not if you read the report.
336
00:18:28,543 --> 00:18:30,758
But by then, he'd already held
a press conference
337
00:18:30,758 --> 00:18:32,326
and announced the cause of death.
338
00:18:32,326 --> 00:18:35,455
And insurance claims had been filed,
body was in the ground,
339
00:18:35,455 --> 00:18:37,373
why not just bury the tox report with it.
340
00:18:37,373 --> 00:18:40,255
Wouldn't be the first time a Hollywood death
got hushed up.
341
00:18:41,781 --> 00:18:46,085
Detectives, I'm not a full-time coroner,
I'm just a country doctor.
342
00:18:46,085 --> 00:18:47,739
We're not high-tech.
343
00:18:47,739 --> 00:18:49,902
Tox screens don't come back in an hour.
344
00:18:49,902 --> 00:18:51,552
We get all that, Dr. Benway.
345
00:18:51,552 --> 00:18:54,819
We just don't understand why you announced
Spencer London's cause of death
346
00:18:54,819 --> 00:18:56,809
before his tests were done.
347
00:18:56,809 --> 00:18:58,982
Ma'am, you should've seen his heart.
348
00:18:58,982 --> 00:19:00,823
You'd a made the same call.
349
00:19:00,823 --> 00:19:04,576
Then why not correct that call
when his tox report came back?
350
00:19:04,576 --> 00:19:07,612
The man was gone.
Why hurt his family?
351
00:19:07,612 --> 00:19:10,770
Yeah, and besides, you'd already held
your press conference.
352
00:19:11,076 --> 00:19:14,800
Did a reporter named TK Richmond
question you after that conference?
353
00:19:14,800 --> 00:19:16,122
As a matter of fact, yes.
354
00:19:16,122 --> 00:19:18,685
He was one of those obnoxious New Yorkers.
355
00:19:18,685 --> 00:19:19,691
No offense.
356
00:19:19,691 --> 00:19:21,722
Oh, no offense taken.
How'd you handle him?
357
00:19:21,722 --> 00:19:24,311
I didn't.
The movie people took care of it.
358
00:19:24,815 --> 00:19:26,718
The movie people?
359
00:19:26,718 --> 00:19:27,930
Beverly Tyson?
360
00:19:27,930 --> 00:19:30,821
No. Her husband, Barry Freeburg.
He's head of the studio.
361
00:19:30,821 --> 00:19:32,025
And you called him?
362
00:19:32,025 --> 00:19:34,045
No, he came up to me
after the memorial.
363
00:19:34,045 --> 00:19:39,902
He was very interested in my experience
in helping the local victims of hurricane Katrina.
364
00:19:40,379 --> 00:19:43,507
He saw the cinematic possibilities.
365
00:19:43,507 --> 00:19:47,543
And what?
He thought it might make a movie?
366
00:19:47,543 --> 00:19:51,943
As a matter of fact, I'm writing
what Barry called a film treatment.
367
00:19:51,943 --> 00:19:54,089
It's like a blueprint.
368
00:19:54,678 --> 00:19:55,994
Yeah.
369
00:19:57,416 --> 00:20:00,224
Barry Freeburg's company, BFP films,
370
00:20:00,224 --> 00:20:03,701
is a silent partner on his wife's movie.
They're doing distribution.
371
00:20:03,701 --> 00:20:06,615
Now wait a minute.
Let's try to put this together here.
372
00:20:06,615 --> 00:20:10,019
All right, so this producer broad,
Beverly Tyson,
373
00:20:10,019 --> 00:20:13,685
her star OD's on company-supplied drugs.
374
00:20:13,685 --> 00:20:17,338
Her husband Barry blows into town,
tries to do damage control.
375
00:20:17,338 --> 00:20:20,648
Bribes the country doctor
to give a clean bill of death.
376
00:20:20,648 --> 00:20:23,302
And then tries to make the deal with TK.
377
00:20:23,302 --> 00:20:25,793
But TK's a shark and he's in the hole.
378
00:20:26,693 --> 00:20:28,471
So he gets greedy.
379
00:20:28,998 --> 00:20:30,907
And then he gets the back
of his head blown off.
380
00:20:49,512 --> 00:20:51,327
That was fantastic.
381
00:20:51,741 --> 00:20:54,406
Just great. Just great.
382
00:20:54,406 --> 00:20:56,621
Mr. Freeburg, do you still want me
to pass by your office?
383
00:20:56,621 --> 00:20:58,279
Sure, sure.
End of the day on Friday.
384
00:20:58,279 --> 00:21:01,082
Talk to my assistant.
She'll set the whole thing up.
385
00:21:02,469 --> 00:21:05,052
Mr. Freeburg, we talked to your office.
386
00:21:05,052 --> 00:21:08,495
Yeah, right, right, right.
The detectives about TK.
387
00:21:08,495 --> 00:21:11,043
Yeah, terrible, terrible tragedy.
388
00:21:11,043 --> 00:21:12,680
You must've known him a long time.
389
00:21:12,680 --> 00:21:16,686
Sure, yeah, yeah. I'd see him
at all the openings and all the parties.
390
00:21:16,686 --> 00:21:17,978
He was on everybody's list.
391
00:21:17,978 --> 00:21:21,288
Is that how he ended up as Spencer
London's memorial in Louisiana?
392
00:21:21,288 --> 00:21:23,580
Another tragedy.
So young.
393
00:21:23,580 --> 00:21:26,914
Who knew the guy
was a walking time bomb?
394
00:21:26,914 --> 00:21:28,894
Heart's a mysterious organ.
395
00:21:30,034 --> 00:21:32,338
It may've been more than his heart.
396
00:21:32,338 --> 00:21:35,289
We spoke to the doctor
who performed the autopsy.
397
00:21:35,604 --> 00:21:36,971
Really?
398
00:21:36,971 --> 00:21:40,659
I'm surprised Benway would give up
Spencer's privacy like that.
399
00:21:40,659 --> 00:21:43,290
Didn't you get him a screenplay deal?
400
00:21:43,290 --> 00:21:44,714
Katrina Nights.
401
00:21:44,714 --> 00:21:48,127
Sure, sure, sure.
That doc's got amazing stories.
402
00:21:48,127 --> 00:21:51,143
I mean, imagine you have to decide
which patient you save
403
00:21:51,143 --> 00:21:52,890
before the waters come in.
404
00:21:52,890 --> 00:21:56,347
Imagine having to choose whether or not
to go public with a tox screen
405
00:21:56,347 --> 00:21:58,153
when you have a movie deal.
406
00:21:58,153 --> 00:22:00,727
Just trying to save Spencer's
family from the vultures.
407
00:22:00,727 --> 00:22:03,033
- Like TK Richmond?
- Yeah, TK.
408
00:22:03,033 --> 00:22:06,769
He planted those blind items
just to get me going, you know?
409
00:22:06,769 --> 00:22:08,932
We talked about it,
came to an agreement.
410
00:22:08,932 --> 00:22:10,376
He moved on to other stories.
411
00:22:10,376 --> 00:22:12,383
And you're saying
he didn't come back at you?
412
00:22:12,383 --> 00:22:14,994
Come on, from what we hear about TK,
he liked to, you know,
413
00:22:14,994 --> 00:22:16,676
squeeze the lemon till it exploded.
414
00:22:16,676 --> 00:22:19,952
What are you saying,
that I planted the bomb?
415
00:22:20,666 --> 00:22:23,577
Come on.
I can't even program my own DVR.
416
00:22:23,577 --> 00:22:25,704
But you do know how
to make screenplay deals.
417
00:22:25,704 --> 00:22:28,854
Very good, Detective.
Very good. Okay.
418
00:22:28,854 --> 00:22:30,644
Maybe I should give you a deal.
419
00:22:30,644 --> 00:22:33,201
You gotta look at the second act of your life.
Can't be a cop forever.
420
00:22:33,201 --> 00:22:35,436
And I know you've got stories.
421
00:22:35,436 --> 00:22:37,247
I got a few stories all right.
422
00:22:37,247 --> 00:22:39,334
But let's get back to TK's deal, okay?
423
00:22:39,334 --> 00:22:40,882
Okay, TK...
424
00:22:40,882 --> 00:22:45,269
It was, uh, before the memorial
I gave him 50 grand. Totally legit.
425
00:22:45,269 --> 00:22:46,646
He turn in a script?
426
00:22:46,646 --> 00:22:48,544
Naw, just a pitch.
427
00:22:48,544 --> 00:22:52,411
Writers, you know?
They got a lot of problems with deadlines.
428
00:22:52,411 --> 00:22:55,762
All right, um, listen,
I gotta get back to the girls.
429
00:23:00,214 --> 00:23:05,682
The sweet smell of success.
"I love this dirty town."
430
00:23:05,682 --> 00:23:08,822
Burt Lancaster. Played a corrupt
gossip columnist.
431
00:23:08,822 --> 00:23:11,761
If he didn't have the goods on someone,
he's make them up.
432
00:23:11,761 --> 00:23:14,560
Anybody want to murder
the gossip columnist?
433
00:23:14,560 --> 00:23:16,033
Everybody.
434
00:23:16,459 --> 00:23:19,256
Makes you wonder
what TK's version was about.
435
00:23:20,377 --> 00:23:24,434
Screenplay?
My brother wasn't writing a screenplay.
436
00:23:24,434 --> 00:23:26,927
He might've been doing
some research for it down south.
437
00:23:26,927 --> 00:23:29,265
- His trip to New Orleans?
- Yeah.
438
00:23:29,265 --> 00:23:32,677
You said he didn't take notes,
but did he bring anything back?
439
00:23:32,677 --> 00:23:35,283
Uh, he brought me
some Mardi Gras beads.
440
00:23:35,283 --> 00:23:36,500
That's it?
441
00:23:36,500 --> 00:23:38,744
No, um, one more thing.
442
00:23:41,354 --> 00:23:44,702
Alligator sausage.
Does that help?
443
00:23:45,583 --> 00:23:49,618
I never got to try it.
TK said it tasted like chicken.
444
00:23:52,061 --> 00:23:53,516
Yeah.
445
00:23:54,530 --> 00:23:56,247
Only gamier.
446
00:23:56,247 --> 00:24:00,517
"Select dailies from Contract Man."
The Spencer London movie.
447
00:24:02,913 --> 00:24:04,228
Action.
448
00:24:06,750 --> 00:24:07,934
Whoa.
449
00:24:11,071 --> 00:24:12,412
- Cut.
- Damn it.
450
00:24:12,412 --> 00:24:15,329
Guy can't even walk straight.
What is this, a blooper reel?
451
00:24:15,329 --> 00:24:16,675
Keep rolling. I can do this.
452
00:24:16,675 --> 00:24:18,708
More like a blackmail reel.
453
00:24:18,708 --> 00:24:21,558
Here's Spencer trying to hide
a bomb in a tape deck.
454
00:24:23,912 --> 00:24:25,787
It's the opening, it's too small.
455
00:24:25,787 --> 00:24:27,689
I mean who the hell built this piece of...
456
00:24:27,689 --> 00:24:30,417
- Don't laugh at me.
- This guy's a disaster.
457
00:24:30,417 --> 00:24:32,939
What did he... blow up the boat
by accident?
458
00:24:32,939 --> 00:24:34,873
No, it's part of the plot.
459
00:24:35,326 --> 00:24:37,346
He's supposed to be a contract killer.
460
00:24:37,346 --> 00:24:40,690
He blew up this jogger on that boat.
461
00:24:41,463 --> 00:24:43,665
Jogger on a boat.
Wait a minute.
462
00:24:43,665 --> 00:24:47,280
The bomb's in that cassette player,
if he could ever get it in.
463
00:24:48,311 --> 00:24:52,302
Oh, the explosion was triggered
by a tape deck.
464
00:24:52,302 --> 00:24:54,112
I wonder when they figured that out.
465
00:24:54,112 --> 00:24:57,409
- Logan, it's a movie.
- No, no, no, no.
466
00:24:57,409 --> 00:25:00,074
This movie is based on a real case.
467
00:25:00,074 --> 00:25:03,851
When I was a white shield,
a guy comes back from a jog,
468
00:25:03,851 --> 00:25:06,563
gets blown up on his house boat.
469
00:25:14,833 --> 00:25:16,512
I didn't know they solved it.
470
00:25:18,025 --> 00:25:19,597
It's pretty clever.
471
00:25:21,394 --> 00:25:23,362
Yep, this is it.
472
00:25:23,362 --> 00:25:25,992
Tony Fabre, heir to a supermarket chain.
473
00:25:25,992 --> 00:25:29,695
Some mob ties.
Killed by a boat bomb.
474
00:25:30,147 --> 00:25:31,504
When did you guys break this?
475
00:25:31,504 --> 00:25:34,894
We didn't. It's still an open case.
Bomb squad found traces of C4,
476
00:25:34,894 --> 00:25:36,573
but we could never figure out
how the trigger worked.
477
00:25:36,573 --> 00:25:38,204
Could it have been set off
by a tape deck?
478
00:25:38,204 --> 00:25:40,565
There was one on-board,
a Marantz, just like in your movie.
479
00:25:40,565 --> 00:25:43,726
And in everybody's den in those days.
My dad had one too.
480
00:25:43,726 --> 00:25:46,497
In the movie, the victim presses play
to trigger the bomb.
481
00:25:46,497 --> 00:25:49,421
TK pushes in a cigarette lighter.
Are we talking about the same bomber?
482
00:25:49,421 --> 00:25:51,745
Same explosive,
similar behind-the-panel trigger.
483
00:25:51,745 --> 00:25:52,899
It's a possible signature.
484
00:25:52,899 --> 00:25:54,941
Hello, one of these bombers is fictional.
485
00:25:54,941 --> 00:25:57,532
The writer probably read
some articles and made the rest up.
486
00:25:57,532 --> 00:25:59,920
No, I don't think so.
Fabre went out for a jog.
487
00:25:59,920 --> 00:26:03,089
He was wearing a Walkman.
That's information we never released.
488
00:26:03,089 --> 00:26:06,421
You track down your screenwriter,
the bomb squad would like a word with him.
489
00:26:07,147 --> 00:26:09,942
Contract Man was in
development for five years.
490
00:26:09,942 --> 00:26:13,133
I... I'm the seventh writer
working with the third director.
491
00:26:13,133 --> 00:26:14,879
It's not your original story.
492
00:26:14,879 --> 00:26:17,667
I'm miles from what they started with.
493
00:26:17,667 --> 00:26:19,981
I'm taking it to arbitration for sole credit.
494
00:26:19,981 --> 00:26:23,347
The bomb on the boat,
you know, in the tape deck.
495
00:26:23,347 --> 00:26:24,560
Was that your idea?
496
00:26:24,560 --> 00:26:26,973
Uh, that was from the first draft.
497
00:26:26,973 --> 00:26:28,660
Well, how about the victim
that was out jogging?
498
00:26:28,660 --> 00:26:30,752
You know, with the walkman.
You?
499
00:26:30,752 --> 00:26:33,927
Um, I... I think that was
from the first draft, too.
500
00:26:33,927 --> 00:26:35,594
But I did a lot to set it up.
501
00:26:35,594 --> 00:26:38,444
The original structure sucked.
502
00:26:38,444 --> 00:26:40,466
Who wrote that first draft?
503
00:26:40,466 --> 00:26:41,720
Uh...
504
00:26:47,344 --> 00:26:51,658
Francesco X. Cesare
is the name on the title page.
505
00:26:51,658 --> 00:26:54,776
I never heard of the guy.
Bev might know how to reach him.
506
00:26:54,776 --> 00:26:58,022
Beverly Tyson, the producer?
She brought you this story?
507
00:26:58,022 --> 00:26:59,179
And twisted my arm.
508
00:26:59,179 --> 00:27:02,028
Kept saying this was
her big passion project.
509
00:27:02,634 --> 00:27:05,568
First writer of Contract Man.
510
00:27:05,568 --> 00:27:07,318
Uh, could you...
511
00:27:09,678 --> 00:27:12,837
What does that have to do
with TK's murder?
512
00:27:12,837 --> 00:27:15,312
We're not sure, but we're trying
to get in touch with him.
513
00:27:15,312 --> 00:27:17,346
That can't happen.
514
00:27:17,346 --> 00:27:18,842
Frank is dead.
515
00:27:18,842 --> 00:27:22,112
He died right after we optioned the script.
516
00:27:22,112 --> 00:27:24,347
Oh, that's too bad.
517
00:27:24,347 --> 00:27:26,239
You remember how he died?
518
00:27:26,239 --> 00:27:31,451
Uh, I think it was a car accident
about five years ago out in Long Island.
519
00:27:31,451 --> 00:27:33,157
It was a very sad story.
520
00:27:33,157 --> 00:27:35,140
Contract Man was his first screenplay.
521
00:27:35,140 --> 00:27:37,179
I never even got a chance to meet him.
522
00:27:37,179 --> 00:27:38,736
Then how did you find it?
523
00:27:38,736 --> 00:27:40,566
It was in the slush pile.
524
00:27:40,566 --> 00:27:44,121
It's, uh, scripts that are submitted
without an agent.
525
00:27:44,121 --> 00:27:47,247
I like to slog through them
looking for a pearl,
526
00:27:47,247 --> 00:27:49,972
and something about this one
just grabbed me.
527
00:27:49,972 --> 00:27:51,958
You ever ask him who it was based on?
528
00:27:51,958 --> 00:27:55,045
I never got the chance.
It's too bad.
529
00:27:55,045 --> 00:27:57,475
He would've had a brilliant career.
530
00:27:59,746 --> 00:28:02,899
- Boy, can she spin a story.
- Yeah.
531
00:28:03,454 --> 00:28:05,599
Only one thing doesn't track.
532
00:28:05,951 --> 00:28:10,630
If she never met Francesco Cesare,
how come she called him Frank?
533
00:28:13,013 --> 00:28:16,203
We can't find a Francesco X. Cesare
in the writers' guild.
534
00:28:16,203 --> 00:28:18,411
And there's no record of
anyone by that name
535
00:28:18,411 --> 00:28:21,848
dying in a car accident
in Long Island ever.
536
00:28:22,649 --> 00:28:24,222
Why would she lie about that?
537
00:28:24,222 --> 00:28:25,764
That's what we were wondering.
538
00:28:25,764 --> 00:28:29,464
So we took another look at Bev Tyson.
539
00:28:29,464 --> 00:28:33,402
Turns out her birth name was Beverly
Banducci of Todt Hill, Staten Island.
540
00:28:33,402 --> 00:28:35,828
Nice family, Catholic schools,
541
00:28:35,828 --> 00:28:37,942
father owns a dry cleaner,
nothing hinky.
542
00:28:37,942 --> 00:28:40,014
Not until she's 18
543
00:28:40,014 --> 00:28:43,159
when she gets collared
for shoplifting at the local mall.
544
00:28:44,846 --> 00:28:48,518
Wouldn't be the first time a Catholic
school girl goes bad for a while.
545
00:28:48,518 --> 00:28:51,090
Yeah, but look who she was arrested with.
546
00:28:51,625 --> 00:28:53,376
Frank Chess.
547
00:28:53,376 --> 00:28:55,778
AKA Francesco Cesare.
548
00:28:55,778 --> 00:28:58,890
We think it's the name he wrote under
to make himself sound more authentic.
549
00:28:58,890 --> 00:29:01,251
Do we have anything more
on Frank Chess?
550
00:29:01,251 --> 00:29:02,970
Oh, yeah, you bet.
551
00:29:02,970 --> 00:29:05,455
He's a capo in the Severini crime family.
552
00:29:05,455 --> 00:29:08,117
Pushed the button on seven guys,
never got convicted.
553
00:29:08,117 --> 00:29:09,232
Any bombings?
554
00:29:09,232 --> 00:29:11,881
Suspect in two, and one car bombing.
555
00:29:11,881 --> 00:29:15,840
Five years ago, Chess got jammed up,
testified against his associates.
556
00:29:15,840 --> 00:29:18,369
A month later, he dies in a car crash.
557
00:29:18,369 --> 00:29:20,860
Here's a copy of the death certificate.
558
00:29:21,643 --> 00:29:25,646
Only problem is, local precinct has
no record of the crash.
559
00:29:27,508 --> 00:29:29,991
Because there was none.
560
00:29:30,280 --> 00:29:32,652
Feds faked this as a cover.
561
00:29:33,971 --> 00:29:36,096
In Contract Man,
Spencer London's character
562
00:29:36,096 --> 00:29:39,199
goes into witness protection
after his last hit.
563
00:29:39,199 --> 00:29:42,247
Spencer played it,
but Frank Chess lived it.
564
00:29:42,247 --> 00:29:45,830
And then his high school girlfriend
made a movie about him.
565
00:29:45,830 --> 00:29:48,150
It's a real passion project.
566
00:30:14,296 --> 00:30:17,105
Logan, Wheeler, meet
US Marshal Mary Shannon.
567
00:30:17,105 --> 00:30:19,404
She's with the federal
witness protection program.
568
00:30:19,404 --> 00:30:20,787
Detectives.
569
00:30:20,787 --> 00:30:23,931
We caught a break.
Mary's in town transporting a witness,
570
00:30:23,931 --> 00:30:26,782
and she was Frank Chess'
WITSEC inspector.
571
00:30:26,782 --> 00:30:29,102
Oh, so what can you tell us
about Chess?
572
00:30:29,102 --> 00:30:32,135
Total pain in the ass.
Typical little dick tough guy.
573
00:30:32,135 --> 00:30:34,437
And you relocated him to Albuquerque?
574
00:30:34,437 --> 00:30:35,580
Five years ago.
575
00:30:35,580 --> 00:30:37,918
Mope stepped off the plane
bitching about the dry heat
576
00:30:37,918 --> 00:30:40,145
and demanding we import him
real sopressata.
577
00:30:40,145 --> 00:30:41,545
How long did he last?
578
00:30:41,545 --> 00:30:44,204
Maybe three years,
then he went off the reservation.
579
00:30:44,204 --> 00:30:46,453
We wrote him out of the program
for noncompliance.
580
00:30:46,453 --> 00:30:48,006
That must've hurt his feelings.
581
00:30:48,006 --> 00:30:50,443
- You have any idea where he is now?
- No, not a clue.
582
00:30:50,443 --> 00:30:52,429
If you find him,
don't let the smile fool you.
583
00:30:52,429 --> 00:30:53,654
Guy's a psychopath.
584
00:30:53,654 --> 00:30:55,694
Sound like you miss him.
You want in on the hunt?
585
00:30:55,694 --> 00:30:57,289
Oh, I wish I could.
586
00:30:57,289 --> 00:30:59,502
I'm due back in Albuquerque
by 10:00 tonight.
587
00:30:59,502 --> 00:31:01,741
- Thanks.
- See ya.
588
00:31:02,821 --> 00:31:04,585
She's a slice.
589
00:31:04,585 --> 00:31:07,200
I wonder what you do in Albuquerque
on a Sunday night at 10:00.
590
00:31:07,200 --> 00:31:09,672
Not your problem.
Just track down Frank Chess.
591
00:31:09,672 --> 00:31:12,386
Already started with Bev.
I've just got her phone records.
592
00:31:12,386 --> 00:31:14,019
So who's in her top five?
593
00:31:14,019 --> 00:31:18,350
Most calls are in Santa Monica,
Beverly Hills, Vail.
594
00:31:18,350 --> 00:31:20,045
And here we go.
595
00:31:20,045 --> 00:31:24,111
A number of long calls to Wet Works
Auto Detailing and Custom Sound.
596
00:31:24,111 --> 00:31:26,042
Margate, New Jersey.
597
00:31:26,042 --> 00:31:28,310
Right next door to Atlantic City.
598
00:31:28,310 --> 00:31:30,655
Take the boy out of the mob, but...
599
00:31:36,986 --> 00:31:38,306
Hold it, Frank.
600
00:31:38,532 --> 00:31:40,291
Hey, hey, hey, what's going on?
601
00:31:40,291 --> 00:31:43,072
Frank Chess, we're offering you
a free ride back to the city.
602
00:31:43,072 --> 00:31:46,327
Hey, where's your warrant?
What's your probable cause?
603
00:31:47,119 --> 00:31:50,659
Here's our warrant,
and there's my probable cause.
604
00:31:53,862 --> 00:31:56,841
You guys are making a mistake.
I'm in the program.
605
00:31:56,841 --> 00:31:58,667
Not anymore. Let's go.
606
00:31:58,667 --> 00:32:01,052
We'll stop by little Italy
on the way back,
607
00:32:01,052 --> 00:32:02,869
pick you up some sopressata.
608
00:32:10,237 --> 00:32:11,698
Who's that?
609
00:32:11,989 --> 00:32:13,596
Frank Chess.
610
00:32:14,689 --> 00:32:17,725
Francesco Cesare, your screenwriter.
611
00:32:22,141 --> 00:32:24,104
I've never seen him before.
612
00:32:24,578 --> 00:32:27,041
You wanna try another take?
613
00:32:36,045 --> 00:32:38,136
Does my husband know about this?
614
00:32:38,136 --> 00:32:42,869
Your husband? Oh, lady,
that is the least of your problems.
615
00:32:42,869 --> 00:32:44,972
You've been doing nothing but lying to us.
616
00:32:44,972 --> 00:32:46,730
You know you're up
for a murder charge here?
617
00:32:46,730 --> 00:32:48,266
- Murder?
- Yeah.
618
00:32:48,266 --> 00:32:49,447
What are you talking about?
619
00:32:49,447 --> 00:32:52,516
I... I just didn't want my husband
to find out about me and Frank.
620
00:32:52,516 --> 00:32:54,395
You're having an affair with him?
621
00:32:57,624 --> 00:33:00,571
Take it slow.
When did it start?
622
00:33:00,571 --> 00:33:02,244
Should I call a lawyer?
623
00:33:02,244 --> 00:33:05,141
Uh... You know any
won't call your husband?
624
00:33:08,482 --> 00:33:11,520
I hadn't seen Frank since high school.
625
00:33:12,685 --> 00:33:16,533
He got in touch with me
when he went into the program.
626
00:33:16,790 --> 00:33:19,988
He was out west and he was bored.
627
00:33:19,988 --> 00:33:21,545
He sent me a script.
628
00:33:21,545 --> 00:33:25,248
I visited him on my way to Sundance.
629
00:33:25,248 --> 00:33:30,334
We would meet sometimes
at a little spa in Taos.
630
00:33:30,334 --> 00:33:33,774
And then twice a year
wasn't enough for us.
631
00:33:34,153 --> 00:33:36,709
He left witness protection for you?
632
00:33:36,709 --> 00:33:38,988
He's crazy about me.
633
00:33:39,916 --> 00:33:43,586
And I'd forgotten what it was like,
to feel wanted like that.
634
00:33:43,586 --> 00:33:47,009
I can't even get Barry
to turn off his BlackBerry.
635
00:33:47,009 --> 00:33:48,844
Barry doesn't know
about you and Frank.
636
00:33:48,844 --> 00:33:52,844
He knew that Frank had sent me a script
that I was excited about.
637
00:33:52,844 --> 00:33:55,055
It wasn't just about the sex.
638
00:33:55,055 --> 00:33:57,738
It was the whole life that Frank had led,
639
00:33:57,738 --> 00:33:59,835
the aura of danger.
640
00:33:59,835 --> 00:34:02,037
The aura of danger?
641
00:34:02,536 --> 00:34:04,559
This help you to get off?
642
00:34:06,365 --> 00:34:08,050
Oh, my God.
643
00:34:09,928 --> 00:34:16,518
No, you have to understand.
Frank... he left that life behind him.
644
00:34:17,291 --> 00:34:21,856
You can't believe that he would
do something like this to TK.
645
00:34:22,396 --> 00:34:27,912
Listen, you got a stone-cold killer
to leave witness protection for you.
646
00:34:27,912 --> 00:34:29,837
You never wondered what else
he might do for you?
647
00:34:29,837 --> 00:34:34,382
No, not my Frankie. No.
648
00:34:38,675 --> 00:34:41,029
You think that's the story of my life?
649
00:34:41,705 --> 00:34:43,122
You got some imagination.
650
00:34:43,122 --> 00:34:46,242
Come on, Frank. We found 20 ounces
of C4 in your garage
651
00:34:46,242 --> 00:34:48,171
and a trigger mechanism in a BlackBerry.
652
00:34:48,171 --> 00:34:50,090
Barry Freeburg next on your hit parade?
653
00:34:50,090 --> 00:34:51,585
I don't know about any of this.
654
00:34:51,585 --> 00:34:54,926
It's not like we haven't
done the math, Frank. Come on.
655
00:34:54,926 --> 00:34:57,532
We know you're crazy about Bev,
656
00:34:57,532 --> 00:35:02,345
and we know that Bev didn't want TK
writing about Spencer London's overdose.
657
00:35:03,573 --> 00:35:05,642
Bevie had nothing to do with it.
658
00:35:06,389 --> 00:35:10,544
TK got sparked because he figured out
that the movie was based on me.
659
00:35:11,405 --> 00:35:13,279
He was gonna out me.
660
00:35:13,279 --> 00:35:15,795
There's a lot of people
wanna know where I am.
661
00:35:15,795 --> 00:35:17,784
How'd you know he was gonna out you?
662
00:35:18,430 --> 00:35:22,250
I overheard Bev talking
to her husband on the phone.
663
00:35:22,550 --> 00:35:24,616
She thought I was still in the shower.
664
00:35:27,170 --> 00:35:32,390
So you decided completely
on your own to kill TK.
665
00:35:34,937 --> 00:35:38,999
Gimme a pen and paper.
I'll start writing right now.
666
00:35:43,903 --> 00:35:45,994
Well, the DA should be happy.
667
00:35:45,994 --> 00:35:48,518
- But you're not?
- They're both lying.
668
00:35:48,518 --> 00:35:51,098
TK didn't take notes.
Didn't do research.
669
00:35:51,098 --> 00:35:55,026
How likely is it he found out
Frank Chess was the Contract Man?
670
00:35:55,026 --> 00:35:56,903
So what are we saying here?
671
00:35:57,524 --> 00:36:01,025
That Bev and Barry tricked
Frank into killing TK?
672
00:36:02,656 --> 00:36:05,502
Unless TK had something else on him.
673
00:36:05,832 --> 00:36:08,079
Something money couldn't fix.
674
00:36:08,926 --> 00:36:09,886
What have you got?
675
00:36:09,886 --> 00:36:12,640
TK on tape the night he died.
676
00:36:12,933 --> 00:36:16,392
It's not like you tried
to take advantage of some nun
677
00:36:16,392 --> 00:36:18,697
or some naive little high school girl.
678
00:36:18,697 --> 00:36:22,265
Some bum does that,
there's not enough money in the world...
679
00:36:22,265 --> 00:36:25,084
- TK have a soft spot for nuns?
- No.
680
00:36:25,724 --> 00:36:29,471
But his sister Jeannie,
a naive high school girl,
681
00:36:29,471 --> 00:36:32,372
who wants to be an actress.
682
00:36:33,963 --> 00:36:36,746
Wheeler, give her a shoulder.
683
00:36:39,236 --> 00:36:44,037
Now that TK's gone.
I have to go live with my aunt in Maine.
684
00:36:44,037 --> 00:36:46,714
What about the performing arts high school?
685
00:36:48,026 --> 00:36:50,895
I don't really want to be
an actress anymore.
686
00:36:51,740 --> 00:36:56,155
I'll just study something else,
like veterinary science.
687
00:36:57,105 --> 00:37:00,688
Jeannie, you're the one thing
in the world your brother cared about.
688
00:37:00,688 --> 00:37:03,465
No matter what anyone else says,
689
00:37:03,726 --> 00:37:06,135
he always looked out for me.
690
00:37:06,808 --> 00:37:09,152
Then you need to look out for him.
691
00:37:09,718 --> 00:37:12,113
You said you don't want to act anymore.
692
00:37:12,564 --> 00:37:14,735
What made you change your mind?
693
00:37:14,735 --> 00:37:17,554
Just too hard to break in.
694
00:37:18,681 --> 00:37:21,052
But your brother knew everyone.
695
00:37:22,250 --> 00:37:24,705
Couldn't he help you get auditions?
696
00:37:26,382 --> 00:37:28,711
Maybe with Barry Freeburg?
697
00:37:29,583 --> 00:37:31,175
He did.
698
00:37:33,566 --> 00:37:35,791
You met him at the soundstage?
699
00:37:35,791 --> 00:37:37,931
I was supposed to.
700
00:37:40,403 --> 00:37:44,785
But Mr. Freeburg asked me
to come by his office instead.
701
00:37:47,293 --> 00:37:49,993
5:30 on Friday.
702
00:37:52,188 --> 00:37:55,782
He asked all of his assistants
to go home.
703
00:37:55,782 --> 00:37:58,176
Do I have to talk about this?
704
00:37:58,665 --> 00:38:00,229
It's okay.
705
00:38:01,581 --> 00:38:03,911
I was 16 once.
706
00:38:08,411 --> 00:38:10,912
Just tell me what you told TK.
707
00:38:12,119 --> 00:38:15,133
I didn't have to tell him anything.
708
00:38:18,443 --> 00:38:20,176
He just looked at my face
709
00:38:20,176 --> 00:38:23,433
and he knew that something
really bad had happened.
710
00:38:28,566 --> 00:38:31,305
So TK leverages Spencer's drug overdose,
711
00:38:31,305 --> 00:38:34,759
not just for money,
but also to get his sister an audition.
712
00:38:34,759 --> 00:38:38,817
Then Barry gets back at TK.
By bending his sister over the couch.
713
00:38:40,329 --> 00:38:41,522
Nice people.
714
00:38:41,522 --> 00:38:44,948
And when TK puts it together,
he must've been out for Barry's blood.
715
00:38:45,289 --> 00:38:47,315
TK's dead, Frank's in jail.
716
00:38:47,315 --> 00:38:50,244
How come Barry's the last man standing?
717
00:38:50,244 --> 00:38:51,682
I'll tell you what.
718
00:38:52,204 --> 00:38:53,825
I'll ask him.
719
00:38:54,658 --> 00:38:58,033
You said you wanted to talk in private,
detective. No lawyers, no partners.
720
00:38:58,033 --> 00:38:59,109
What's on your mind?
721
00:38:59,109 --> 00:39:01,558
We just made an arrest on TK's murder.
722
00:39:01,558 --> 00:39:04,676
Organized crime guy
by the name of Frank Chess.
723
00:39:05,159 --> 00:39:08,272
Good to know but
why the special trip?
724
00:39:08,272 --> 00:39:11,223
Well, the DA believes that
the movie your wife was producing
725
00:39:11,223 --> 00:39:14,123
was based on Frank Chess's life.
726
00:39:14,123 --> 00:39:18,404
Chess killed TK to keep his whereabouts
out of the gossip column.
727
00:39:18,990 --> 00:39:21,012
My god, does Bev know any of this?
728
00:39:21,012 --> 00:39:25,504
You should ask her about that.
There's something else I found out.
729
00:39:25,504 --> 00:39:30,711
Something that I haven't shared with the DA
or even my partner yet.
730
00:39:30,711 --> 00:39:32,335
What's that?
731
00:39:33,942 --> 00:39:38,816
This is the signed statement
from TK's younger sister Jeanie.
732
00:39:39,654 --> 00:39:41,902
She says you raped her.
733
00:39:46,305 --> 00:39:48,016
It's all lies.
734
00:39:48,458 --> 00:39:51,237
She's a shakedown artist,
just like her brother.
735
00:39:51,237 --> 00:39:53,232
What really did happen?
736
00:39:53,232 --> 00:39:56,722
Okay, uh...
TK demanded I give her a part.
737
00:39:56,722 --> 00:39:59,404
She comes over
with a skirt up to here.
738
00:39:59,404 --> 00:40:02,058
She starts working it.
It's late at night.
739
00:40:02,058 --> 00:40:03,619
We're alone.
740
00:40:03,619 --> 00:40:05,223
What do I look like, Gandhi?
741
00:40:05,223 --> 00:40:06,879
So the sex was consensual.
742
00:40:06,879 --> 00:40:08,388
Absolutely.
743
00:40:09,906 --> 00:40:11,922
Thing is...
744
00:40:12,495 --> 00:40:17,025
Jeannie was 16.
She just hit 17 last week.
745
00:40:17,025 --> 00:40:18,787
I had no idea.
746
00:40:18,787 --> 00:40:22,448
- Believe me, if you'd seen this girl...
- Oh, I saw her all right.
747
00:40:23,207 --> 00:40:26,906
Problem is we're talking
statutory rape, Barry.
748
00:40:26,906 --> 00:40:29,275
This isn't just a publicity nightmare.
749
00:40:29,275 --> 00:40:31,917
You're looking at a serious
criminal charge.
750
00:40:31,917 --> 00:40:33,663
Do I have to be?
751
00:40:34,049 --> 00:40:36,505
How about some breakfast, Detective?
752
00:40:36,505 --> 00:40:39,234
Yeah, I'm feeling a little hungry.
753
00:40:39,894 --> 00:40:42,262
You been at this a long time, huh?
754
00:40:43,015 --> 00:40:45,427
Seems like my whole life.
755
00:40:45,427 --> 00:40:49,263
When we were talking the other day
about your second act,
756
00:40:49,263 --> 00:40:53,283
I can't imagine the department
757
00:40:55,465 --> 00:40:57,379
I'm just thinking out loud here.
758
00:40:57,379 --> 00:40:59,817
You know those stories
you told me about the other day?
759
00:40:59,817 --> 00:41:01,701
Any of them make a good movie?
760
00:41:01,701 --> 00:41:03,106
I'm not a writer, Barry.
761
00:41:03,106 --> 00:41:05,008
Oh, I got writers.
762
00:41:05,008 --> 00:41:08,367
I need your street smarts.
Your soul.
763
00:41:08,367 --> 00:41:10,481
Yeah, well, you can have that.
764
00:41:11,871 --> 00:41:16,716
But, uh, there's someone else
that could use some attention too, the girl.
765
00:41:17,219 --> 00:41:19,697
Well, she's in a needy place.
766
00:41:19,697 --> 00:41:22,197
I... I definitely want to help her out.
767
00:41:22,197 --> 00:41:24,577
Just so there's no hard feelings.
768
00:41:26,859 --> 00:41:30,005
So we have an understanding.
769
00:41:35,595 --> 00:41:37,941
Yeah, we do.
770
00:41:37,941 --> 00:41:40,227
But there's someone I want to be
straight up with you about.
771
00:41:40,227 --> 00:41:41,717
Go ahead. We're partners.
772
00:41:41,717 --> 00:41:44,671
Okay. Frank Chess.
773
00:41:46,049 --> 00:41:47,974
He was doing your wife.
774
00:41:47,974 --> 00:41:49,893
Sorry I have to be the one
to tell you that.
775
00:41:49,893 --> 00:41:52,008
You think I didn't know that?
776
00:41:52,008 --> 00:41:54,483
- What do I look like a chump?
- What do you mean?
777
00:41:54,483 --> 00:41:57,196
You don't get to be the head
of a major studio
778
00:41:57,196 --> 00:42:01,388
by being too dumb to realize
when there's another clown in the tent.
779
00:42:01,388 --> 00:42:02,898
So you just let it go on?
780
00:42:02,898 --> 00:42:04,604
I filed it away.
781
00:42:04,604 --> 00:42:08,874
I knew that eventually I'd get more out
of Frank than she ever would.
782
00:42:08,874 --> 00:42:12,583
Well, just how did you get Frank
to take care of TK anyway?
783
00:42:12,583 --> 00:42:15,071
It's like putting together a movie.
784
00:42:15,071 --> 00:42:18,484
All you gotta do is know
how to package the elements.
785
00:42:18,748 --> 00:42:21,751
I told her that her lover was in trouble,
786
00:42:21,751 --> 00:42:24,014
and she's very proactive.
787
00:42:24,014 --> 00:42:25,801
Frank swore he acted on his own.
788
00:42:25,801 --> 00:42:28,293
Yeah, for now.
But he's a rat.
789
00:42:28,293 --> 00:42:31,839
Once he finds out she put him up to it,
he'll turn on her.
790
00:42:31,839 --> 00:42:34,114
So you put out the contract,
791
00:42:34,114 --> 00:42:36,363
and those two had no idea
they were being played.
792
00:42:36,363 --> 00:42:37,382
That's very good.
793
00:42:37,382 --> 00:42:38,857
That's what I do.
794
00:42:38,857 --> 00:42:41,920
No one gets over on Barry Freeburg.
795
00:42:41,920 --> 00:42:46,973
Not my wife, not Frank,
not that little bottom feeder TK.
796
00:42:46,973 --> 00:42:50,385
That son of a bitch was gonna keep on
grinding me down,
797
00:42:50,385 --> 00:42:52,364
so I gave his sister an audition.
798
00:42:52,364 --> 00:42:56,537
I gave her the part of a lifetime.
799
00:42:58,075 --> 00:43:00,430
Detective, if you're thinking
you're getting over on me,
800
00:43:00,430 --> 00:43:02,476
you're not, cause I got your number.
801
00:43:02,476 --> 00:43:03,564
How's that?
802
00:43:03,564 --> 00:43:05,612
Oh, how's that? Let's see,
803
00:43:05,612 --> 00:43:10,852
I've got you recorded accepting a bribe
and agreeing to a cover-up.
804
00:43:15,415 --> 00:43:17,578
Right back at you, pal.
805
00:43:18,780 --> 00:43:21,908
Statutory rape and felony murder.
806
00:43:24,746 --> 00:43:26,344
Barry Freeburg, you're under arrest.
807
00:43:26,344 --> 00:43:29,533
Okay, this'll never hold up.
This is entrapment, pure and simple.
808
00:43:29,533 --> 00:43:31,144
You know, when I get out
from underneath this,
809
00:43:31,144 --> 00:43:34,680
you better watch out cause I got
a lot of friends around town.
810
00:43:37,900 --> 00:43:41,191
- Nice house.
- Yeah, yeah.
811
00:43:41,191 --> 00:43:44,885
Well, so much for my second act.
812
00:43:44,885 --> 00:43:46,488
