Task 1x3

1. Why?

2. - I spent my whole life trying to get away from these people. - What do you mean, why?

3. - They murdered my brother. - Right.

4. - That's exactly why we're gonna stay away— - And then they had the nerve

5. to show up at the memorial service

6. and hug you

7. and shake my hand.

8. Jayson shook my hand with the same hand

9. he used to beat your father's brains out.

10. And I had to stand there and fuckin' nod my head...

11. and say, "Thank you for coming."

12. "Thank you for coming."

13. When I knew and you knew what they'd done to him.

14. So, yeah, I'm gonna take their money.

15. Yeah, I'm gonna take their money so we can have a better life.

16. Because there's gotta be a reason

17. - why your father died. - No, there's no reason for any of it.

18. - And don't act like some kind of martyr either. - I'm not acting like a martyr.

19. - 'Cause even if you did do it for the kids... - You asked me why.

20. they're now gonna spend the rest of their lives

21. without their father, hearing stories

22. about how he was a murderer, and a thief,

23. and a fuckin' kidnapper.

24. That's your legacy.

25. - That ain't my legacy. Nah. - Now it is.

26. Nah, that ain't my legacy. Nah.

27. I don't even know what I'm thinkin'.

28. You won't even make it to prison.

29. Jayson's gonna kill you first.

30. - He don't know it's me. - He'll find out.

31. Well, then let him come then.

32. Let him fuckin' come.

33. Let that motherfucker come

34. and shake my hand!

35. See what happens this time, motherfucker!

36. The hell is the matter with you?

37. Robbie, look at me. Robbie, look at me.

38. - You had a life. - A life?

39. What life?

40. Breaking my back out there to stink

41. like other people's shit and trash?

42. Come home and have my kids ask me

43. if their mother's ever comin' back?

44. And I ain't got an answer.

45. No, I'm fuckin' tired of that life.

46. I'm fuckin' tired of that life.

47. You need to take Sam to the police.

48. I just need a few days.

49. What's gonna change in a few days?

50. Money. A million dollars, maybe more.

51. Just, I do understand

52. that I fucked up, okay?

53. I understand that.

54. Just let me take care of my kids.

55. Okay?

56. Maeve, you're the only family I got left.

57. KYW News, time 8:16.

58. Warm and breezy in Independence Hall with...

59. Jesus Christ, we need to get a handle

60. on this fuckin' shitshow.

61. The SAC's all over me,

62. and I'm supposed to give a press conference at 2 p.m.

63. And I prefer not to stand up there

64. looking like a smacked ass.

65. - No one wants you looking like a smacked ass, Kath. - Well, thank you.

66. But we're combing through 500 tips,

67. trying to learn as much as we can about this crew.

68. - What do we know so far? - Liz, you wanna jump in here?

69. Yeah, that's Kenny Pollard.

70. He served two years at Rexler Correctional

71. for assaulting a night clerk at a 7-Eleven.

72. For the past six months, he's been employed

73. at Swain's Tree Surgery in Upper Darby.

74. Um, they were closed yesterday, but we asked the foreman...

75. for a meeting with all the employees

76. at, like, 9 a.m. Good morning, Task friends.

77. Anthony Grasso, this is SSRA Kathleen McGinty.

78. You're late, Grasso.

79. Yeah, sorry, it's, uh, Wawa. They had to make a fresh—

80. Forgive me for not giving a fuck.

81. - What else? - The DEA called this morning

82. with some intel. Aleah.

83. Central saw our bulletin on PACIC.

84. They had a tracker lock on a car.

85. Drug runner named Cosmo Giles out of Pittsburgh.

86. An informant tipped 'em that Giles was picking up

87. a major shipment from a group of bikers.

88. Only motorcycle gang known to move that kind of weight in PA

89. are the Dark Hearts.

90. We think this crew picked it off.

91. But that doesn't track.

92. Our— these guys have never stolen any drugs before.

93. They weren't after the drugs.

94. The meet was set for midnight, but it got pushed back.

95. Our crew went into that house

96. believing they were gonna pick up the money

97. - after the exchange. - But that would assume

98. that they knew that this was happening way ahead of time.

99. Right, we believe that they're working

100. with an informant inside the gang.

101. So, how much product did they get?

102. Big. Twelve kilos of pure fentanyl.

103. Wholesale, you're looking at 1.5 to 1.6 million.

104. Jayson. Perry.

105. - Freddy. - Freddy.

106. Wow. Who's getting married, Freddy?

107. Yeah, my oldest daughter, Camila, tonight at St. Paul's.

108. Come, follow me.

109. Yeah, you like her choice? He's a good human?

110. Ah, he's a worthless piece of shit.

111. Two kids with another woman.

112. No job, no education, zero ambition,

113. yet he's convinced my daughter that he's Prince Charming.

114. Guess I'm lucky I got no kids to disappoint me.

115. Yeah, well, lucky you. Come on in.

116. - Have a seat. - Thank you.

117. Talk to me.

118. We were hoping for your help in dealing with a problem.

119. Ah. The Halloween crew

120. that's been knocking off your houses.

121. That's them.

122. Humor me.

123. Why would I help you?

124. Because right now...

125. we control the pipeline.

126. You own the city.

127. West of Pittsburgh belongs to us. That's the agreement.

128. Because of these raids,

129. our distributors are missing product.

130. Pretty soon, they're gonna start pursuing other ways to bring it in.

131. Well, I haven't felt the squeeze, man.

132. - It's been business as usual. - You will. Soon.

133. 'Cause when that product isn't there, those same distributors

134. are gonna turn to our competition.

135. The Ecuadorians out of Boston, the Colombians.

136. Any one of the dozen other DTOs would be very fucking happy

137. making inroads into this market.

138. If they make inroads in our market, Freddy,

139. it's only a matter of time before they start coming for yours.

140. So, nobody wants that.

141. Huh. What are you proposing?

142. Someone's looking to move 12 kilos, they come to you,

143. you call us first.

144. We just want back what they stole.

145. What's in it for me?

146. 25% wholesale.

147. Fifty.

148. Twenty-five is us being generous.

149. And I thought I should ask for 80.

150. Given that you're the ones with the 12-inch cock

151. jammed in your asses.

152. You know what's the first thing I bought when I made some money

153. in this country?

154. - A Cadillac? - Hmm.

155. A new set of fucking teeth.

156. See, one day I was out in Lancaster

157. shopping with my wife.

158. We stopped at a cafe to grab something to eat

159. on our way home.

160. I excused myself, went to the bathroom.

161. Two bikers jumped me while I was in there.

162. Beat the shit out of me.

163. Knocked out six teeth, fractured my jaw.

164. And when they were finished,

165. they pulled out their cocks...

166. and pissed all over me.

167. I had $5,000 in my pocket.

168. They weren't interested in that.

169. See, they beat me because they didn't like the way I talk.

170. They didn't like the way I look.

171. They didn't like my skin color.

172. Now, why is it that dinosaurs like you still exist in a market

173. where my product is cheaper, purer, and faster?

174. These rural counties you guys bleed dry?

175. They'd rather buy their products off of you backwards ass-fucks

176. with your ridiculous Boy Scout badges,

177. even if it costs 'em more money.

178. Even if your product has been stepped on

179. with so much rat poison and horse tranquilizer

180. that it literally melts the skin off their fucking bones.

181. Even after all of that, they'd rather buy from you,

182. because they don't like the way I look.

183. You gonna help us or no?

184. 50%.

185. Or, I pull out my cock

186. and I piss all over your ugly bearded faces.

187. Hey, hey, Gertie. Gertie. I got watermelons.

188. No, no, no, no. Don't you— don't come near me.

189. - What's the matter with you? - What's the matter with me?

190. - I got blood on my hands 'cause of you. - 'Cause of me?

191. It wasn't supposed to go down like that.

192. - Hey, hey. - Walk in, walk out.

193. - No bodies. - There was a delay.

194. The exchange got moved back. Jayson was out

195. when the call happened. I didn't know.

196. It was your job to know.

197. - I couldn't have known. - Just like it was your job

198. to know there was a fucking kid in that house.

199. You fucked us! Easy, easy.

200. Easy, easy. Take a walk.

201. Okay? Let me handle this.

202. You better calm him down. He's a liability right now.

203. He's scared. Every cop in the tri-state area

204. is bangin' on doors looking for us.

205. I didn't fuck you, Robbie.

206. You said you wanted a bigger score.

207. A score, yeah.

208. Not a pile of fentanyl and a six-year-old kid.

209. That wasn't my fault.

210. Where is he, anyway?

211. He's fine.

212. What are you gonna do with him?

213. Just... help me move this stuff.

214. You can't move it. Not yet.

215. - Why not yet? - 'Cause I heard Jayson this morning.

216. He went and sat down with Freddy Frias.

217. You try to move that much product around here,

218. he's gonna find out about it. Sit tight.

219. Don't you hear what I'm sayin'?

220. I can't sit tight. I need this money.

221. I think they're gonna get rid of Jayson.

222. Perry's here. Our plan is working.

223. I don't give a fuck about our plan no more.

224. What do you mean, you don't give a fuck about our plan?

225. - Why did we start this in the first place? - Eryn.

226. Because he killed your brother.

227. Yeah, because you were fuckin' him.

228. 'Cause I loved him.

229. Come here. Hey.

230. I need this money for my kids.

231. You can't move these drugs. I'm sorry.

232. I have to go.

233. Don't do anything until you hear from me.

234. Eryn.

235. We're on our own.

236. She got what she wanted.

237. Gotta look out for ourselves now.

238. You know someone?

239. Oh, these are the bullets we found inside the bodies

240. of Joanne Nance and Warren Clarke.

241. I ran the results through NIBIN to see if the gun was involved

242. in any other crimes, and believe it or not,

243. we got a hit.

244. In 2017, the Dark Hearts held a rally out in Reading.

245. A rival club named The Vipers showed up

246. and all kinds of hell broke loose.

247. In the end, three Viper members were killed.

248. The slugs that killed two of those members are a match.

249. Meaning that the same weapon used in Reading

250. - was also used in the house. - Right.

251. So, the gun that killed Warren Clarke

252. and Joanne Nance belonged to a member of the Dark Hearts.

253. May I? Yeah, sure, have at it.

254. - Thanks, Hank. - Yeah, you got it, Grasso.

255. Alright, bring it in.

256. Uh, we got a tight schedule to keep,

257. so I'd appreciate it if you make it brief.

258. This is a missing child case, sir.

259. We're gonna take as long as we need.

260. Alright, listen up. These two ladies here

261. got questions about Peaches.

262. Morning.

263. TFO Agents Stover and Clinton.

264. Uh, some of you may be aware Kenny Pollard, or Peaches,

265. was killed the other night in a home invasion.

266. - So, we're here because— - Cut to the chase, Scooby-Doo.

267. Yeah, uh, yeah, we're here...

268. - looking for any— - Looking for a pair of tits?

269. 'Cause I don't see one between the two of yous.

270. We're federal agents here to investigate a federal crime

271. with federal jurisdiction.

272. Which means shut the fuck up.

273. As TFO Stover was saying,

274. we're looking for a six-year-old boy named Samuel Nance.

275. Any information about Peaches' business or friends,

276. however trivial it might seem, is important right now.

277. And if you're nervous about talking

278. or scared about being labeled a snitch,

279. have a look at the reward at the top of the flyer

280. and see if that changes your mind.

281. Alright, back to work. Let's go.

282. We're burning daylight.

283. Get back to work.

284. Morning.

285. Something I can help yous with?

286. Yeah, looking for Jayson Wilkes.

287. I haven't seen him.

288. Huh. Hey, boss, doesn't that guy over there

289. - look a hell of a lot like him? - Mm-hmm.

290. Thanks.

291. On your right is Perry Dorazo at the bar.

292. Yeah, I see him.

293. - Jay? - Mm?

294. Feds are here.

295. Thanks.

296. Here you go. You recognize that?

297. - No. - Zephyr Bar in Reading.

298. A fight broke out between your club

299. and some members of the Vipers.

300. The fuck's this have to do

301. with what happened at Derek Nance's house?

302. Afternoon.

303. - Special Agent Tom Brandis. - TFO Anthony Grasso.

304. How are you?

305. Something we can help you with?

306. Yeah, we got a ballistics report

307. that confirms that the weapon that was used

308. to kill Warren Clarke and Joanne Nance

309. was the same one that killed two Vipers

310. at a shootout at the Zephyr Bar in Reading in 2017.

311. Which means that the murder weapon belonged to someone inside your gang.

312. You got a leak.

313. You know it. We know it.

314. Eight of your drug houses hit in the past ten months,

315. and this crew's being slipped information

316. by someone inside of your gang.

317. Most likely the person who owns that gun.

318. When we find him, we have a chance of finding Sam Nance.

319. What'd you say your name was again?

320. Agent Special?

321. Tom Brandis.

322. - Tom Brandis? - Mm.

323. We'll take everything under consideration, won't we?

324. Listen, there's a little boy missing.

325. - No shit. - We're coming up on 72 hours,

326. and we're asking you for your help in finding him.

327. Finding what, his dead body? You know it, we know it.

328. Perry, I wanna know who you were out in Reading with.

329. Reading?

330. Reading was seven fuckin' years ago.

331. - Huh? - Doesn't matter.

332. Quiz me on what I had for breakfast, I couldn't tell you

333. if it was oatmeal, green eggs and ham.

334. I want a list of every person

335. - in that bar with you. - Something funny?

336. Yeah. You guys. You're a fucking joke.

337. We got a little boy missing, we're running out of time.

338. Y-You got better things to do? You don't wanna help us?

339. We got our own ways of finding Sam.

340. It don't involve either of you.

341. Now, get the fuck out.

342. - Nice. - That's it.

343. Nice.

344. I'll see you around.

345. Take care of yourselves.

346. Hey.

347. Who was there that day in Reading?

348. Hey, you!

349. Remember to stay out of the road, or you'll get hurt.

350. Mm, shucks.

351. The water's deeper over here if you want to swim.

352. I can't swim.

353. Have you ever tried?

354. Come here.

355. When I was little, I went to a birthday party

356. with all the girls from my school.

357. Everyone was swimming except for me.

358. My dad just picked me up and threw me into the pool.

359. That's how I learned to swim.

360. Please don't do that to me.

361. - It's cold. - Yeah.

362. Ooh.

363. First, we gotta teach you how to float.

364. There you go.

365. Now...

366. turn yourself into a starfish.

367. Legs and arms out big and wide.

368. There you go.

369. - Maeve? - Mm?

370. I think you're a better teacher than your dad.

371. Thanks, Sam.

372. That's the thing about gettin' older.

373. You get to choose what you take from your parents.

374. And what you leave behind.

375. - Hey, Sam? - Mm-hmm?

376. You're floating.

377. Hey.

378. It's so good to see you.

379. - Hey. - Hey.

380. You got your hair cut.

381. It's too short.

382. I tried telling the guy, but...

383. Suddenly, it's all gone.

384. I think you look handsome.

385. Are you making any friends, or what?

386. Not really.

387. I mean, I mostly keep to myself.

388. How's Dad doing?

389. Good. Yeah, he's good.

390. He's, um, he's working again.

391. He asks about you all the time.

392. Really?

393. Drove all the way out to drop my suit off for sentencing

394. and never even came inside.

395. Were you able to try it on? The— the suit?

396. It's a little big, now that I got all skinny, you know.

397. But, it's okay.

398. How are you feeling about that?

399. - Sentencing? - Mm-hmm.

400. I— I don't feel anything, I guess.

401. Just like...

402. whatever the judge says, I— I just got to deal with, you know?

403. Because it's all my fault.

404. It's— it's all my fault.

405. What am I gonna do, you know?

406. I think it's this one here.

407. Shelley. Hey, it's Cliff Broward.

408. What are you doing here?

409. Is Ray home?

410. Who's there, Shel?

411. Hey, hey!

412. - The fuck you doing here? - Heard you finally got out.

413. Figured I'd stop by, say congratulations.

414. A friend of mine, Robbie.

415. Hey, nice to meet you.

416. Uh, yeah, well, come on in. Come in.

417. Shel, you remember Cliff. We were cellmates

418. for a couple years back in Lycoming.

419. She don't remember shit.

420. Come on back.

421. Um, why don't you go outside? You know, sit down, relax.

422. I'll get us a few beers.

423. - You have to be at your game in 30 minutes. - Yeah, no shit.

424. - Well, it's a 15-minute ride... - Gonna have a few beers, not a big deal.

425. and that's if there's no traffic. If there's traffic...

426. - They came to congratulate me. - ... it's more like 30.

427. Shel!

428. Now, say it one more time.

429. Tell me one more time that I gotta be at that fucking game.

430. Hey, fellas. Here we go.

431. What are you doing with yourself these days, anyway?

432. What ain't I been doing?

433. I'm, uh, reffing men's rec league games,

434. uh, out in Media.

435. Boys are getting big, huh?

436. - Yeah, it's wild, isn't it? - Mm.

437. I caught the older one the other night in the basement.

438. He had his head up this girl's shirt.

439. And she was cute, too. I almost asked him

440. to let his father have a turn, you know what I'm saying?

441. You, um, you still connected like you used to be?

442. - Connected? - Yeah, we're looking to move some dope.

443. We'd be willing to cut you in if you can help us.

444. And here I thought you were stopping by

445. just to say congratulations.

446. So, how much dope are you talking?

447. Twelve kilos.

448. Where the fuck did the two of you come up with 12 birds?

449. Don't ask where or how.

450. Just, can you move it or not?

451. Fuckin' A, brother.

452. I mean, I'm not Escobar here, you know?

453. - Freddy Frias. - Nah.

454. Gotta go outside normal channels.

455. Why's that?

456. Oh, okay. I see.

457. We're talking stolen dope.

458. Can you move it or not?

459. Well, look, if you want to avoid Frias, you got two options.

460. Now, you step on the dope yourself,

461. and you go retail out in Kensington.

462. What's the second option? - Exactly.

463. Lee.

464. - Lee Whitehead? - Yeah.

465. - He's still a player? - Yeah.

466. You trust him?

467. I don't know him that well,

468. but Shelley grew up with him out in Ridley.

469. The last I heard, he was in deep with the Colombians.

470. And the bikers have blocked them out of the market for years,

471. so they'll jump at the chance.

472. But he's gonna want to see the product first.

473. Just tell us when and where.

474. But it's gotta happen quick.

475. Alright, I'll reach out.

476. Fuck me, man.

477. This day just got interesting.

478. - Denny? - Hi, there.

479. - Have a seat. - Okay.

480. What was so important you couldn't tell us over the phone?

481. It wasn't that I couldn't tell yous.

482. I just wanted some assurances first.

483. - Assurances? - Yeah.

484. This 25K here, will you explain to me

485. how I might come to receive that?

486. Well, you provide information that leads to a conviction

487. in the abduction of Samuel Nance.

488. Mm-hmm. Dead or alive?

489. I mean, don't matter if the kid's dead or not?

490. A couple of weeks back, Peaches and I are working,

491. when he tells me he bought an engagement ring for three grand.

492. I says, "You might convince your fiancée it cost three grand,

493. but you ain't bullshitting Denny."

494. Well, this pisses him right the fuck off.

495. Pulls a wad of cash out, rams it under my nose.

496. He says, "Take a whiff of that, you old prick."

497. I says, "The fuck you get that?" So, he starts bragging.

498. Says he earned it hitting the houses.

499. What do you think he meant by that, "hitting houses"?

500. Drug houses. He was robbing 'em.

501. Says he was tagging 'em with Cliff.

502. Cliff? Who's— who's Cliff?

503. Cliff Broward.

504. He worked with us a couple of years back

505. before moving on to a trash outfit called, uh, J&W.

506. - Okay. - And did he say how Cliff

507. knew about these drug houses?

508. Yeah, scavenged through people's trash.

509. Find evidence they're stepping on dope,

510. they'd raid the houses together.

511. Hey, wait, wait. Where's you going?

512. - Hey, what's next? - Uh, yeah, we'll be in touch.

513. Hey, don't you want my address? Wire information?

514. - Hey. - Coworker at Swain's

515. said Peaches confessed to robbing drug houses

516. with a friend named Cliff Broward.

517. - Who's Cliff Broward? - Waste worker at J&W.

518. Broward would ID the drug houses by digging through people's trash

519. - and they'd hit 'em together. - Oh, that explains

520. all the other houses our guys hit.

521. You mean the drug houses that didn't belong

522. - to the Dark Hearts? - Right.

523. You know, it's kinda genius if you think about it.

524. Hey, do you have an address on Broward?

525. Address?

526. Uh, 122 Mason Avenue. I'm texting it to Grasso now.

527. - Texting it to Grasso now. - Okay.

528. We're gonna surveil the house.

529. I'll reach out to Central and have SWAT stage nearby.

530. Do we need a search warrant?

531. No warrant. Exigent circumstances.

532. There might be a kid inside the house.

533. We're going in right away.

534. That's them on the left.

535. - Hey. - Have a look at the door.

536. Let me see.

537. It looks like somebody broke in.

538. How long till SWAT's staged?

539. They're gathering on Sidwell Ave.

540. Should be active in 15.

541. No, I don't wanna wait that long. Let's hit it now.

542. Ready?

543. - Aleah, Grasso, take the stairs. - Got it.

544. - Good on left? - Yep.

545. On right.

546. Clear.

547. - Hey, you okay? - Yeah.

548. - You good? - Yep.

549. Lizzie.

550. Lizzie!

551. You stop!

552. Police!

553. Fuck!

554. 55-David-7,

555. foot pursuit, a masked individual

556. in blue jeans headed south

557. - on Edmonds Road. - Fuck. You good?

558. - Go, go, go, go. - Alright.

559. Headed south across the park!

560. Susan?

561. Stop! Jesus Christ!

562. You alright?

563. - Okay. Look at me. - Susan.

564. - Hm? - Susan.

565. It's Aleah.

566. Hey! Stop!

567. Don't move! Don't move!

568. Don't fucking move! Huh? Don't fucking move!

569. 55-David-3, suspect apprehended.

570. Lawrence Park. Send avail units.

571. - You good? - Yeah.

572. Whoa!

573. Is that my fucking house?

574. Keep going. Turn left, turn left.

575. They're all over my fucking house, man.

576. I know. I see 'em.

577. Fuck are we gonna do?

578. Robbie, what the fuck are we gonna do?

579. Anyway, you know about his bullshit,

580. and you're gonna do what you're gonna do, so.

581. - Right. - Yeah, I know.

582. I don't even know how to talk to her when she gets that way.

583. Come and dance with me. Come on.

584. Come on.

585. What is up your ass, anyway?

586. Well, if you have to ask, then it's probably not worth answering, huh?

587. - Mm. - I'm sorry I didn't come back last time.

588. I have one heart.

589. You fucking prick.

590. Could you please stop messin' with it, hm?

591. What am I missing, Dee?

592. What are you missing?

593. Stuff that's been happening, it's coming from the inside.

594. Are you sure?

595. Feds came by earlier. It's one of us.

596. What are you seeing that I'm not?

597. I'm not seein' anything.

598. Come on.

599. You are like the mother hen here.

600. Everyone chirps to you.

601. Well, I mean...

602. Rayna came over a few weeks ago.

603. - Rayna? - Yeah, Shane's wife.

604. She and the kids came over to the house,

605. stayed a couple of nights. She said...

606. Shane's been acting different and...

607. Different how?

608. I mean, you know, like how he was when he got home

609. after being deployed, everything's triggering him.

610. She said that, I don't know, he's not sleeping.

611. Kids are scared of him, so.

612. What, you think— you think maybe he's the one

613. that's been tipping the crew to these houses?

614. So I'm clear, sir, you are refusing

615. additional medical attention at this time.

616. - Is that correct? - Yes.

617. Even after I recommended a scan?

618. - What— what'd I just say? - Well.

619. - What— no. - Look, what— why are you doing that?

620. - 'Cause it makes me look like an asshole. - But I just—

621. Look, you've suffered a Grade 2 concussion.

622. - Yeah. - I am not permitted to let you drive.

623. - Is there someone here who can take you home? - Yeah. Me.

624. - I'll drive him home. - Wonderful.

625. Can you sign here, please?

626. - You alright, boss? - Am I alright?

627. I just got thrown down a flight of stairs

628. and landed on my fucking head, Grasso.

629. Are we set up here?

630. I've got her inside one, and he's in two.

631. Alright. Uh, get Easley,

632. tell him we need pole cam surveillance

633. outside of Cliff Broward's house in case he comes home.

634. I— I can do that.

635. - What's the story on these two? - Well, she's clean.

636. Um, Ray's carrying a list of drug priors and domestics.

637. All the domestics were dropped when she refused to press charges.

638. Uh, he's currently on parole

639. looking at a seven-year back time on a distro.

640. Aleah, sit with her, build a rapport,

641. and see if you can get her to talk.

642. - Thanks. - Thank you.

643. Good luck.

644. Evening, Ray.

645. I didn't get an opportunity to introduce myself

646. before you tossed me down the stairs.

647. Tom Brandis, FBI.

648. Detective Grasso.

649. Mind telling us what you were doing

650. inside of Cliff Broward's house?

651. Cliff's an old pal.

652. I was, uh, playing a prank on him

653. when you scared the shit out of me.

654. How stupid do you think we are, Ray?

655. - On a scale of one to ten? - Here's what we know.

656. Cliff was part of a crew that stole 12 kilos of fentanyl

657. from a biker's place Sunday night.

658. My guess is that has something to do

659. with what you were doing inside his house.

660. That's— that's an interesting theory.

661. Our colleagues are speaking with your wife now, Ray.

662. If she tells us something different, things are gonna get very bad for you.

663. Yeah, well, my wife, she ain't gonna tell you shit.

664. Shelley, we know it's not all you.

665. I read through your file.

666. Alrighty.

667. Uh, we got cheese crackers, or Tajin peach rings.

668. You know, you wouldn't think Tajin and peach rings

669. would go together, but they are actually really good.

670. I've been where you're sitting, Shelley.

671. I know that shame.

672. See this?

673. That's when he knocked me into the corner

674. of the kitchen island.

675. Broken cheekbone and eye socket.

676. There's a titanium plate and three screws in here.

677. I didn't press charges, that time or any time.

678. I wrote my social security number

679. on the bottom of every pair of shoes I own,

680. just so my mother would be able to identify my body

681. when he killed me.

682. There are mornings even now, four years later...

683. when I'll be feeling completely fine,

684. just going about my day.

685. And then suddenly, I...

686. I feel my windpipe tighten.

687. Just out the blue. No reason or trigger, just...

688. suddenly, I can't breathe.

689. It's the same feeling I'd had when he would sit on my chest...

690. and choke me with both hands.

691. Lord knows I— I opened that door to escape a million times.

692. And the reason I didn't leave sooner

693. was because when I did open that door

694. and I looked outside...

695. all I saw was darkness.

696. There's light.

697. Cliff, he came by our place earlier...

698. asking Ray to move some drugs.

699. Mm, there was another guy there,

700. but I didn't know who he was.

701. At approximately 3:15 this afternoon, Cliff Broward,

702. and an unidentified male showed up at your place

703. in Upper Darby.

704. The three of you sat on the patio, you drank beer,

705. and you discussed how you were gonna help them

706. move 12 kilos of stolen fentanyl.

707. After Cliff left, you sat Shelley down

708. and you coerced her into robbing Cliff

709. so that the two of you could steal the drugs

710. and collect the money for yourselves.

711. Do you need me to continue?

712. - What are you guys offering me? - Who was the other person there with Cliff Broward, Ray?

713. - The offer. - We'll drop the conspiracy charges.

714. Who's the other person, Ray?

715. I don't know the other guy.

716. Bobby, or Danny, or...

717. But, yeah, Cliff asked me to move the drugs for him.

718. - Was there a kid with them? - A kid? What kid?

719. A six-year-old boy named Samuel Nance who was kidnapped.

720. No, there wasn't any kid. Why?

721. - There was no kid? - No.

722. - Where's Cliff? - Beats me.

723. I went looking for him, same as you guys.

724. No, you went to rob him.

725. How did you leave things?

726. - Leave things? - After Cliff left,

727. what were the next steps you discussed?

728. I told Cliff I— I knew someone who might be interested.

729. Someone being?

730. I said that a certain friend

731. could move a stash of that size out of the normal channels,

732. but he would want to see the drugs first.

733. I told Cliff I would text him the location.

734. So, right now, Cliff's waiting on your text to set the meet?

735. Unlock it.

736. What do you use to communicate with Cliff?

737. Snapchat. No way to track.

738. Text? Drop a pin? What?

739. - Pin. - Where? Where?

740. Bailey Park, usually 10:00, 11:00,

741. - after the park clears out. - Text Cliff now.

742. Set the meet at Bailey Park at 11 p.m.

743. Notify everyone. We'll have a briefing

744. - at County at 8 a.m. - Copy that.

745. Thanks for your time, Ray.

746. - So, we're good here, right? - Yeah, yeah, we're all good, Ray.

747. We're gonna drop the conspiracy charges

748. because you've been so cooperative.

749. Unfortunately, you also assaulted a federal officer,

750. which is a clear violation of your parole.

751. Whoa, whoa, whoa, wait a minute. You said that—

752. No, I said I'd drop the conspiracy charge, and I did.

753. Now, you're gonna be transferred out to a jail

754. in Delaware County.

755. Judge is gonna violate your parole first thing in the morning.

756. You fucking lying prick, piece of shit, motherfucker!

757. - Good luck to you. - Piece of shit!

758. Know what I've been thinking about?

759. Canada.

760. Canada? What about Canada?

761. Just, like, pictures I've seen.

762. It's really beautiful up there.

763. It's just like islands everywhere.

764. Places you could disappear.

765. How would we make it out there?

766. The police got my face now. We know that much.

767. You remember Bartos?

768. The truck driver from Ridley used to smuggle shit

769. for my brother?

770. He drove a route up through Manitoba,

771. way up north, all the way to the Discovery Islands.

772. Could, uh...

773. could talk to him about getting us across.

774. Is that him? That Ray?

775. Wants to meet at the park tomorrow night.

776. Let's go.

777. - Where are we going? - Scope it out, make a plan.

778. I don't trust this fucking Ray guy.

779. We gotta be prepared.

780. Oh, thanks for saving my ass today.

781. Get outta here.

782. Save mine next time, huh?

783. Uh, do you wanna get, like, a drink, maybe?

784. 'Cause I happen to know a bar in Delco

785. where the manager lets me smoke.

786. Hm. You asking me out, Stover?

787. Ew, no.

788. Sure, I'll get a drink with you.

789. DJ Grassanova!

790. Okay, horrendous.

791. I agreed to retire Snickerdoodle.

792. It's got to be a fair, you know.

793. Hey, could, um...

794. can I confess something?

795. What happens on Barnaby's back deck

796. stays on Barnaby's back deck.

797. I froze tonight when Ray went after Tom.

798. Eh, people freeze, Stover.

799. Well, have you?

800. - Sure. - Bullshit, you're just saying that

801. - to make me feel less awful. - Nah, every cop I know has frozen once.

802. Yeah, well, it's— it's not just once.

803. That's the thing.

804. And cops talk, and, like, that's kind of why

805. they dumped me off to Task, you know?

806. And just like, fucking, you go and make me

807. someone else's problem, you know?

808. I think you're inside your own head, you know?

809. You need to— you need to forget the noise.

810. Trust your instincts and you'll react.

811. What if I make the wrong decision?

812. Well, you won't. You're a good person.

813. You know, good people make good decisions.

814. Oh, no, that's the most bullshit line I've ever heard.

815. I— oh, my God.

816. I know so many good people

817. that have made so many nasty...

818. vindictive fucking, like, horrible decisions.

819. You know, including my— including my ex, who, like...

820. he fucked my best friend

821. when I was at a family reunion.

822. - It was awful. - That— that is awful.

823. - Isn't that awful? - That is awful, yeah.

824. That's awful. And it— what I said sounded—

825. it sounded better in my own head before.

826. Yeah, you know, I wasn't gonna say it,

827. but with a name like Grassanova,

828. I was kind of expecting you to just be a little bit smoother.

829. I'll update my handle for you, Stover.

830. Yeah. Instead of, you know, Grassanova,

831. you could be...

832. - Grassa-no-pussy. - Oh, my God.

833. Or— or like, uh,

834. or— or, uh, Grassa-gets-no-assa.

835. You know, lately, that would fit.

836. PSP Stover!

837. - Stover! - Oh, fuck my fucking life.

838. I shouldn't have brought you to a statie bar.

839. - Whoo! - Oh, my God.

840. Hey, what are you— what are you guys doing here?

841. Hey, h-how's Task life treating you, Stove-top?

842. - Yeah, it's great, we're, you know... - Listen.

843. - Hey, listen. - Yeah.

844. Stay as long as you want, alright?

845. The barracks will be just fine without you.

846. That's true.

847. - It's good seeing you, Stove-Top. - Later, Stover.

848. - Stover! - Stover!

849. Nine-ball, over here!

850. Rack 'em up, rack 'em up, rack 'em up!

851. What time is it?

852. - Shit. I gotta take off. - What?

853. - Yeah, I got— - I just bought another pack of cigarettes.

854. I know, I gotta— I gotta meet up with someone, so.

855. - Yeah. - Oh, yeah.

856. - Hey. - Yeah.

857. You— I'll see you tomorrow. Yeah?

858. - Yeah, I'll see you tomorrow. - Alright.

859. Hey, so can I get...

860. Yo! Listen up!

861. Uh. Hello, everybody.

862. - How you doing? - What the fuck?

863. Uh, listen, it's, um,

864. it's a hard time to be a cop.

865. Easy.

866. - Easy, easy. - Alright, alright. Yeah, we deserve it.

867. I know, I know, and I'm not here to say

868. we're all, uh, honest and upright.

869. You know, I've worked with enough corrupt,

870. incompetent pricks to know that ain't true.

871. In fact, I'm looking at a few of them right fucking now.

872. How you doin'? Um, but, uh, um,

873. today, I want to toast, uh, one of the good ones.

874. PSP Lizzie Stover.

875. I don't know, she makes me feel like there are still

876. a few honorable blues left in this god-awful, shitty profession, so.

877. Cheers. Cheers, everybody.

878. - Cheers! - Cheers to Lizzie!

879. - I'm fine. - Hello?

880. I'm fine. You can go home now, Aleah.

881. - Hello? - Oh, my God.

882. What happened?

883. He was assaulted earlier.

884. Assaulted?

885. At a career fair?

886. Ah, for Christ's sake!

887. Okay.

888. Your father and I are working an FBI Task Force together.

889. Aleah Clinton.

890. Sorry. I'm Sara, Tom's daughter.

891. Uh, what happened exactly?

892. Oh, he took a bad spill earlier while we cleared a house.

893. The medics suggested a CT scan, but your father declined.

894. No driving allowed.

895. Ibuprofen's okay for the headache,

896. but no alcohol.

897. Mm.

898. Alright.

899. Goddamn it.

900. - Appreciate you bringing him home, Aleah. - Of course.

901. Fuck.

902. Since when are you back in the field?

903. Kathleen needed someone to fill in.

904. And you thought that was a good idea?

905. Wasn't exactly like I had a choice, believe me.

906. So, this is what you do now? You come out here

907. and you drink alone all night?

908. I'm sorry about yesterday.

909. No.

910. No, I am.

911. I know I probably sound like the world's biggest bitch right now.

912. You don't sound like that.

913. Just, um, kills me that we've fallen apart.

914. Especially Emily and I.

915. We were so close.

916. I hope you know when I say those things,

917. I'm only trying to protect you.

918. I don't want what happened to Mom...

919. to happen to you.

920. Doctors, psychiatrists, medications.

921. Ethan's issues just consumed her.

922. She was the most social person I knew and, by the end,

923. she never even left the house.

924. She was afraid...

925. to leave him alone.

926. I don't wanna lose you like I lost her.

927. That's what scares me the most.

928. But if you want me to back off, you know, of course, I will.

929. Because the truth is, you're the one who's gonna be left here

930. with him, Dad, you know.

931. I'll be back in Chicago with the baby, and...

932. Emily will be off at college.

933. I don't want him here.

934. Why do you think I haven't gone to see him?

935. I'm so fucking angry.

936. I can't forgive him for what he did.

937. I think you need to speak to Emily then.

938. What time is it?

939. - They're late. - Two minutes.

940. - It's still late. - Come on, relax.

941. We're— we're ready for this, right?

942. Mm-hmm, we are.

943. I just couldn't sleep at all last night.

944. I know, I could feel you tossing and turning.

945. And you're sure?

946. No, I'm not sure.

947. I think there's no such thing as sure, you know.

948. How do I know we're doing the right thing?

949. Mm-hmm.

950. A feeling.

951. Yeah, now you're starting to sound like me.

952. Yeah, feelings, feelings. Everything's a feeling.

953. Well, you were a feeling, and that didn't turn out so bad.

954. Who's gonna love 'em more than we are, right?

955. They're here. They just pulled in.

956. Okay, here we come.

957. Alright, everybody, let's go.

958. What do we say? Do we congratulate them?

959. No, no. Uh, egotistical.

960. - Oh yeah, that's way too— - We're not so fucking special.

961. So stu— uh, what do we say?

962. Um, "We couldn't imagine letting you go, so we decided not to."

963. That's good. That's good, I like that.

964. - Hey, Joe. Good morning. - Hi.

965. - You got a minute, Tommy? - Sure, come on in.

966. - Coffee? - Yep.

967. - What do you got? - Called that agent down in Mercer County

968. - about that rules violation we discussed. - Yeah?

969. Club member that Jayson Wilkes allegedly killed

970. was Billy Prendergrast.

971. But that ain't why I'm here.

972. - Uh-huh. - Pictures came back

973. from that pole cam you requested at Cliff Broward's house.

974. - Let's see. - You see that car?

975. It arrives at 10:56 p.m.,

976. only 90 minutes after you arrested Ray Lyman.

977. And doesn't leave until 4:13 in the morning.

978. Plates came back to a Brandon Symentz,

979. a known lieutenant within the Dark Hearts.

980. How do the Dark Hearts know about Cliff Broward?

981. How tight's your circle on this?

982. - Task? - Mm-hmm.

983. Myself.

984. A Chester police officer.

985. A state trooper.

986. And a county detective.

987. And you vetted 'em all?

988. No, I didn't vet 'em. I inherited 'em.

989. Dark Hearts are getting info from someone.

990. You think it's coming from inside Task?

991. My advice?

992. Suspect everyone.
