Le prime 200 righe.
Previously on Wild Cards.
I managed to get Jonathan Ashford's video diary.
It'll tell you everything you need to know.
If we pull off the perfect con,
no one will even know that we were there.
We came, we scored.
Poof!
She has no idea, does she?
No.
For you?
He's my best friend.
What do you want?
Six more months off my dad's sentence.
Two weeks.
You can't be serious. She's a con artist.
Meet my dad, George Graham.
Deal.
Max, there's a bomb in the station.
You need to get out of the building right now!
If I get up, the bomb will detonate.
The bomber said he'll issue his demands as soon as the entire building is empty.
No one else is to remain inside.
I'm not going anywhere.
On three.
One, two, three!
Dad, what's wrong?
What's wrong?
You were stuck in the police station with a bomb
that's what's wrong.
This again? What time is it?
Time for you to stop working with the police.
Dad, it's 5:00 a.m. The bomb thing is so last week.
And yet I can't sleep a wink just thinking about it.
I'm fine.
I still don't get why you decided to stay.
What was I supposed to do?
Say it sucks for you. There's a bomb under your butt,
see you later.
You're the one that told me to never leave anybody behind.
Hey, that's a friends and family promise.
Well, Chief Li is my friend. We're on the same team.
Honey, the cops are not your friends.
Do they ask you out for drinks after work?
Do you get invited over for holiday dinners?
No.
I'm your family. Ricky's your family.
With the police, it's a quid pro quo relationship.
You solve their cases, they shorten my sentence.
Which is why I'm calling you, I want you to quit.
Hard pass.
You're in jail because of me, remember?
Honey, I can do the rest of my time.
I don't want you putting yourself in danger for me.
Dad, I love you, but this isn't up to you.
I got my eye on the prize.
Soon enough, you'll be walking out of those gates a free man.
I'm not gonna be able to talk you out of this, am I?
No. Just go relax and let me get back to sleep.
All right.
Sorry I woke you, honey.
It's okay. I love you.
I love you, too, baby.
Oh, for the love of...
What now?
Sorry. I thought you were my dad.
Well, I'm up anyway, might as well solve a murder.
We'll go check it out. Thank you.
It's finally raining men, but I just feel sorry for him.
I never thought there'd be anything worse
than being found dead and naked.
But dead and wearing an adult diaper
definitely takes the cake.
Or what I'd call a deal breaker.
Incontinence is my guess.
It's been linked to suicidal ideation.
It's sad. It's just a little bit of pee.
Tell me about it. Every time I sneeze.
Strange.
Usually when people jump to their death,
they step off a ledge, they fall straight down.
But the car's got to be at least 10 feet from the building.
Well, maybe he took a running leap.
Hey, Detective...
didn't make it out for trivia last night, huh?
Paperwork, you know how it is.
Did you get an ID for the victim?
Yes, sir.
Neighbours say his name is Logan Hess, 33,
lives alone on the 15th floor.
Did you say Logan Hess as in Zagan Designs?
Yeah, that's him.
Wait, you know him?
Yeah. I have a bunch of their clothes.
Him and his partner are streetwear designers.
I'm talking bucket hats, tracksuits, retro kicks.
Well, let's go find out why he died in a diaper.
How is that furniture supposed to be comfortable?
It's not, it's art.
This kind of furniture transforms the standard condo
into a thing of beauty.
Like when I step into your car, it goes from meh to marvelous.
Why is there a deadbolt on the outside?
So whoever's inside couldn't get out?
This is Logan's bedroom.
He must have jumped from here.
Wrist restraints?
Hey, everybody has their kinks, okay?
Who are we to judge?
So...
you and the gang really get together for trivia night?
They do.
I mean, they invite me and everything
don't get me wrong,
but I would just find some way out of it.
What is that?
It's a hex nut.
Exciting.
It could be.
If it came loose, he could have pulled himself free.
You're talking like he was a prisoner in here.
Oh, there's a deadbolt on the door.
There's wrist restraints strapped to the bed.
I mean, it's his place and everything,
but I think he was trying to escape.
Escape so bad, he ran right through a high-rise window.
Okay. I know a lot of what we're seeing here,
says prisoner in his own home,
but the fur lining on those cuffs say something else.
You're not wrong.
Let me through!
No. It's impossible.
I'm sorry. Who are you?
I'm Jackson. I'm Logan's assistant.
How did this happen? How did he get out?
Oh, my God, I can't believe this is happening.
Okay. Take us through this step by step.
You do this every night?
Yeah, it's part of my job.
I buckle him into bed,
test the restraints and lock him in the room.
Then at 7:00 in the morning, I come back and let him out.
Okay, I've heard of assistants getting weird requests,
but this is, like, weird.
Logan suffered from somnambulism.
Possession?!
What's the matter with you? That's sleepwalking.
Yeah. He even takes a sleeping pill.
There was no way he was ever going
to run through a window again.
Again?
When he was 20, he sleepwalked right through a window.
It was on the first floor, so he didn't get hurt.
Then why buy a condo on the 15th floor?
He grew up in a kind of run-down neighborhood.
So having a view meant he finally made it.
Besides, he kept his phone by his bed.
One shout out to Siri, and he could call me or 911.
Well, what would he do if he had to use the...
Oh, that's why he wore a diaper.
You can't tell anyone about that.
I literally have to sign an NDA.
We found him lying mostly naked on the roof of a car.
I'm pretty sure that secret has sailed.
Now, I found this hex nut under his bed
must have come loose.
That's impossible.
I check it every night.
I have a video.
You take video?
Because he's a sleepwalker, Logan had to prove
he was taking every precaution he could to protect himself.
Without it, his business insurance would be null and void.
What is his business insurance have to do
with his sleepwalking?
Without Logan, there's a chance Zagan Designs could go under.
We're going to need to see that video.
Any idea who we can contact for next of kin?
He didn't have any family so,
his business partner was the closest person to him.
Thanks.
That was Metro PD.
They got Zane and his assistant waiting for us
back at the police station.
Can't believe we're about to meet Zane Finch.
I'm nervous. Are you nervous?
Not even a little bit.
But he's the new poster boy of street fashion.
I think I have something here for you.
Here we go.
No, I'm not wearing a scarf.
Of course not, that would be silly.
Thank God you wore a blazer today.
Is all this really necessary?
Of course it is.
How you dress expresses who you are to the outside world.
Yeah, that's what my badge is for.
Oh, really? How would I know?
Because I don't have one.
Maybe if I did, they would invite me to trivia night.
You're really overthinking this trivia night thing.
