Truth Be Told

So you got your clearance back.

Your lawyer did it for me.

Technically, now I'm an investigator.

I'm close to something.

What?

What's going on?

Warren.

What did you find?

Your father was unaccounted for at the time of Chuck Buhrman's murder.

No, he was on patrol with his partner.

There was a gap. Over an hour.

And he showed up to his next call with blood on his shoes.

-Jesus Christ. -Warren.

My father had me shanked.

What?

Oh, my God.

And he will do it again. He obviously doesn't want me talking.

-You need to get into protective custody. -You think that will work?

Do you have any idea how far his reach is?

-You're getting played. -Like hell.

He's a convict, Pop.

He'd tell you Big Bird shanked him if he thought it'd get him out of there.

-You didn't see what I saw. -No.

But I heard the shit you been spillin' about Owen Cave.

-Excuse me? -Your new episode?

Shining that hot guilty light on Cave without any real evidence?

The man went ghost for 74 minutes

and then shows up to his next call tracking blood on the carpet.

Not enough.

You were right there when we found that shit.

I'm not saying it ain't him.

But you do not go blowing the man up publicly without knowing 100%.

I'm not a prosecutor. I'm a podcaster.

Hey, my name is on this thing too.

And what are you doing? Aren't you supposed to be keeping her in check?

-Since when? -Thank you!

But it wouldn't hurt to focus on the Buhrmans.

Enough!

Okay? That's our guy.

Jesus Christ!

Why is this such a leap for you? He testified against his own son.

He never visited for 19 years, and the moment he does his son gets shanked.

The man deserves to burn in hell!

You got no proof, Pop.

Just like you got no proof that Owen killed Chuck.

Then get me some, damn it. That's why you're here.

Get me some.

You know what? I'm done with this shit.

What?

Markus!

Markus.

What's going on with you?

I was gonna ask you the same thing.

-Speak your mind. -All right.

Your eyes are way off the main goal here.

I mean, look at you. You're hell-bent on burying Owen Cave.

Clearly he's pushed some buttons in you.

-I'm just going after the truth. -Really.

Okay, so now you don't want to work with me anymore?

You know, I could've never given you any of this.

No matter how hard I worked.

I never asked you to.

And Ingram and I worked for this together.

I know, I know. Women's lib and all that.

No, no, no, no.

You understand we made choices

and sacrifices and decisions to live the way we wanted.

As you can see, there are no kids running around in here.

Yeah, yeah.

Listen.

If you want me to keep digging, fine. I'll dig.

But we're playing with people's lives here, Pop.

Are you ready for the consequences?

Hey, Mom. I didn't...

I didn't know you were coming.

Look, you really shouldn't be here.

This place is crawling with germs.

I don't care.

I had to see you.

I know--

Is your wound healing okay?

Yeah.

Did they find out who did it?

No, Mom.

I read this article the other day in the library,

and there's this...

There's this cancer doctor out at USCF...

No. No, Mom. Mom, listen.

He's doing this new experimental treatment that I think you should--

No, Warren.

It won't help.

I'm sorry, sweetie, but I know.

I just know.

Mom.

How's your garden?

Tell me about it.

Knew that would get ya.

Heard from your father yet?

I got nothing for him if I did.

You trying to get me drunk?

Oh, yeah.

That podcast has been disrupting our life,

so I... am going to disrupt it right back.

Cheers.

You're not slick.

What?

You got something brewing. I can see it.

Can't a man want to spend a minute with his wife?

Come here.

Come on. Follow me.

Follow me.

Damn it.

-Yeah? -So, how's the digging?

Hey, Pop.

I'm on it. I'm down at city hall.

They're open this early?

I gotta pick up my daughter from school later.

I didn't wanna have to stand around in line all day.

Well, I've been digging.

Been looking into Owen's non-police life.

The things at the margin. You know, try to understand him better.

And your shovel hit something.

He's listed as the founder of an organization called "Angel's Halo."

Sounds angelic.

Sounds bullshit. He's the only name on it.

And when cops do public service stuff, they promote it heavily.

But this one's got nothing. No footprint. A single donor.

So what do you think it is?

Well, that's what we have to find out.

I'll text you the address.

"We"?

So we tag-teaming it again, huh?

Another lucky day for you. See you in 30 minutes.

Back into the field with Markus?

We're just trying to figure out this Owen Cave stuff.

We need to talk about your father.

I plan to draw up a restraining order against him.

So you ganked me last night?

Last night was real, and you know that. So is this.

That's my daddy.

He put his hands on my wife.

This is my family, Ingram. You're not blood. You don't get a say!

I heard you crying yourself to sleep.

Your own father scared you, Poppy.

Is there something you're not telling me?

You know as well as I do something needs to be done.

I can't do it.

You don't have to.

I'll handle it.

You're gonna have to work around him. You can't go at him directly.

Okay.

I wish Susan hadn't made me executor.

This is all very overwhelming.

Well, why don't you let me help you?

You know, you could move out of the hotel and stay with us. Save some money.

I'll think about it.

Hello?

Hello? Vivienne?

I have to call you back.

-What's going on? I haven't heard-- -I'll call you back. All right?

Promise.

Everything okay?

Why would you do that?

I mean, sorry. You won't tell me anything.

I just wanna stay connected, you know. I don't wanna lose you.

-My God, this is all our stuff. -I didn't know she kept everything.

You used to love this.

I like the name "Vivienne."

The British accent kinda threw me, but...

I really like the picture of your husband and... son?

You look real happy.

Sorry. I really shouldn't have done that.

I have to get out of here.

What? What about all this stuff?

Just lock it up. I'll meet you in the car.

Angel's Halo is Owen Cave's business, not mine.

But its official address is here.

That was just for the registration. I helped him set it up. That's all.

So what are you? His business manager?

Christen!

I advise Chief Cave, okay?

Scan and shred.

Look, if Angel's Halo is really legit, you don't have to worry about--

Everything that I do is above board here.

You want information?

Call Mr. Cave yourself.

Thank you.

Hey, I'll take another run at him later.

Or try a softer target.

What are you talking about?

That receptionist was giving you a lot of heat.

Come on now.

She was looking at you the exact same way DeeDee Royce used to.

DeeDee. That used to bother you.

You only thought it bothered me.

-Still picking up your daughter? -Not for a while.

Good. Then catch DeeDee 2.0 on one of her breaks

and see if you can turn that heat into some info on Owen.

-I'll see what I can do. -I bet you will.

What's up?
