Lunch today... you, me,
and our esteemed publisher,

- Aaron Pritchard.
- Hard pass.

Humor me. His family
keeps the lights on.

I keep a room right
here at Captain Cook,

so we're neighbors.

Hello,
Eileen. Did you get my e-mail?

Hello, concerned citizen.

How nice of you to call again.

First time in the Arctic?

Have you been up here before?



Some. I don't really like it.

There would have been 3
feet of snow on the ground

the night she went missing.

I think I'm angry.

The paper is looking
into some older cases.

For some reason we
can't get our hands

on Gloria Namnac's
police report.

Hey, Derek. We're
trying to get ahold

of the police department's
monthly reports.

I'm not sure if I'm
allowed to do that.

I'm upset that you
went behind my back.

This isn't about you.

It's about the story.
That's all that matters.

Is that right?



72 felony complaints
and not one charge.

Why aren't you
investigating violent crimes

against native women?

Durkin's going bye-bye.

Good work, team.

One thing... you
may not want to admit it,

but you need me on
this investigation,

so I gotta be able to trust you.

Just to say, no one complained
when I worked alone.

All right, gang, the
weekend is almost upon us,

but as most of you know,
it's not just any weekend...

It is opening weekend
of the state fair.

Need I remind you, 300,000
people go to the fair.

That's over half the state.

It might not be hard news,
but it matters to Alaskans,

so it matters to us.

Good speech. I'm in.

As usual, I'll
cover entertainment.

Headliner this year?

Hootie and the
Blowfish. I'm a fan.

I'll be food, and,
yes, I'll be covering

the Denali cream puffs.

- Miles?
- I'm all over everything.

And, for what it's
worth, I dig the fair.

Because Austin went to Bethel
to cover the fisheries council,

we'll need someone to do double
duty to cover the pig races.

Oh, I'll do it. I'll...
I'll bring my son, Finn.

It's gonna make his year.
He loves the pig races.

You talking politics again?

Uh, nope. Real pigs. Racing.

- With kids.
- With kids?

- It's a thing.
- The state fair.

Oh, yeah. I heard about that.

It's all very Alaskan.

We leave our cynicism at home
when we cover the fair, Eileen.

I'm sure we do. Are you going?

I've been asked to judge the
jam competition again this year.

- Well, that's just...
- An honor.

Yeah, that. And
I was just gon...

Returning to your work.

Jam on.

Finally, this year's
Giant Cabbage competition

will be covered by...

Gabriel Tovar.

Really? Me?

If that's okay with you.

Are you kidding?
My first story?

Absolutely. Thank
you, Stanley.

I'll be here most
of the weekend.

If you have something, send it.

All right, that's
it. Get to it.

- And have some fun tomorrow.
- That's so amazing.

Congratulations.

What's the first name of
the Meade police chief

before Durkin?

- Oren.
- Oren Conners.

I looked up his
address on Nexis.

There's nothing on him.

Well, based on what Durkin said,

he could be living
on the street now.

You know, we should try and
get a quote from the Governor

on the Durkin story.

Dig deeper, try
and find Skeeter.

Are you free to
work this weekend?

Nope. I'm busy.

- Busy doing what?
- Tournament.

What kind of tournament?

Basketball.

Look, I get that you're still
angry about what happened

in Meade, but just to say it,
I miss the Chatty Sunny Roz.

Knock, knock. The
Durkin story has pulled

2,000 views and rising.

And I just got word
the City Council

is suspending Durkin
pending an investigation.

Well done, you two.

We still don't know
who killed Gloria.

Let's hope your story
shakes something loose.

But we could work this weekend.

You could. Have a
great weekend, guys.

You, too.

So, things are better.

Much.

Maybe you should
take the weekend off.

Mm, no thanks.

Besides, half your newsroom
is working this weekend.

On the fair.

Do you want to cover it?

Weekends are good, Eileen.

Weekends suck. I'm
here to do a job.

And live.

Job first.

He tried to bribe you?

I couldn't believe
it. The gall.

Like I'd sacrifice my
integrity for $100.

A hundred bucks?
It's not nothing.

You can't be serious.

- I mean, it's just jam.
- I'm a judge.

It's the state fair.

- What's that?
- I don't know.

It was just left
on the front desk.

Janice gave it to me.

Does she know who it's from?

She didn't see.

Oh, fan mail.

That's a bullet.

It is, indeed.

That's a funny way of proposing.

Is that how they
do it in Alaska?

Gabriel, did Janice see
who left the package?

No. She was in the bathroom.

We need to call the police.

You have a camera in the lobby?

No. We had one
in the old place.

Eileen, you need to let
Stanley know, and the lawyers.

- This is serious.
- She's right.

I'm not sure that'll
do much good,

but if it makes you
feel better, fine.

For the record, I've
gotten much worse.

At least this is
in a pretty box.

Can I share
some good news with you?

Please do.

I got my first assignment.

- Really?
- Mm-hmm.

Covering what?

Giant Cabbages.
At the State Fair.

You won't forget that one.

Any tips?

Make sure you
get the correct spelling

of your subjects' name.

You'd be surprised
how many people don't.

That's good. Okay. Thanks.

Yup.

Hey, that bullet...
Does it worry you?

I don't love it, but I see crap
like that as a badge of honor.

People get upset when
the lights get turned on

and the truth is laid bare.

I see.

Don't let it worry you, really.

And hey, have fun
with your story.

It's a good one.

I will.

Have a good weekend.

Will do.

Eileen Fitzgerald.

Did you get my gift?

I did.

Things are getting
serious between us.

Oh, you just can't
help yourself, can you?

Care to elaborate?

You destroyed a man's life.

Durkin? He did
that to himself.

Yeah, everyone's
wrong except you.

I won't watch you turn
our state upside down

just because you were
run out of New York.

Is that what you think happened?

I know it. We all do.

The next bullet you
receive won't be in a box.

Hello, my friend.

Where were we?

That looks so good!
Hi, I'm Yuna Park...

Hold on, everyone!

We're at the last one,
and it looks like a doozy!

How's it going, my friend?

I'm actually a little
nervous. Is that crazy?

No way.

You're nervous because you care.

Want a gummy? It might help.

Weed gummy? No, no, thank you.

I need to stay focused.

Me, too.

All right, here comes the judge.

Ladies and gentlemen,
it's official.

The winner of the
biggest cabbage contest,

weighing in at 135 pounds, is...

Erica Block!

It's go time, homie.

Hi. Sorry to interrupt.

I'm Gabriel Tovar with
The Daily Alaskan.

Congratulations on your win.
That must be so exciting.

Thank you.

Can I get a proper
spelling of your name?

Erica, E-R-I-C-A.

Block, B-L-O-C-K.

- Oh.
- Oh.

- Ah!
- Ah! Sorry...

- Me, too.
- I'm so sorry.

- I'm very nervous.
- So am I.

I've... I've never
talked to a reporter before.

You're my very first interview,

so I guess we can be
nervous buddies together.

Um, and has it always
been your dream

to win the largest
cabbage award?

Uh, I just kind of
fell into it, I guess.

We grow cabbage, and they
grew really big, so...

why not?

And now tomorrow, you'll
be crowned Biggest Cabbage.

Or, I guess your cabbage will.

Um, that must feel great.

It kind of does.

- Erica.
- Okay, I'm coming.

Uh, sorry.

That's my dad.

It was nice to
meet you, Gabriel.

Yeah, I'll see you
tomorrow at the ceremony.

I hope so. Bye.

Bye.

Gabriel?

Hi, Eileen.

I'm sorry to
interrupt your work.

What's up?

So, I have a problem.

I just wrote up
my story and it...

it's not very good.

Why?

It just... It's...

It's a little short,
and it feels a little...

Boring?

Yeah, boring is accurate.

Well, it is about cabbages.

Look, just keep digging.

In print, you have the
opportunity to go deeper.

Go talk to the subject again.

Okay. Yeah, um, I'll
see her tomorrow

at the award presentation.
I guess I could ask...

You're doing a story
about cabbages.

Go to the farm. That's
where the story is.

Okay, thing is, is I...

I didn't get an address
or a phone number.

Gabriel, it's a working farm.

Track her down.
That's what we do.

- You're right.
- Gotta go.

Well, next round's on me as
a gesture of appreciation

for letting us totally...

own you guys!

Look at you. That gussak you're
working for is rubbing off.

Mnh-mnh. Nope.

No, I told you. No work talk.

- I need a break from that place.
- Come on.

You had to know we would
be grilling you about

that fancy New York white
woman coming to take your job.

That's never going to happen.

So, what's she like?

Give us some dirt.

Ugh.

You know those geese that
come up every summer?

They don't stay here for long,
but they make a lot of noise,

and they act like
they run the place?

Mm-hmm.

So why didn't they just let
you do the story on your own?

Editor's call.
It's a big story.

He wanted her experience.

Yeah, but is she gonna
do what they always do...

Write some stories and split
after exploiting our pain?

Not if I have a say in it.

That piece you did on that
Meade cop was awesome.

Yeah. It was.

Thanks.

Hey!

- How's the food?
- Good.

All of it. Too much of it.

Hi, Finn.

Ooh, thank you. Finn,
you remember Yuna.

- Say hi.
- Hi.

You having fun?

The pigs are pretty cool.

The pigs are faster
than usual this year,

and they definitely play dirty.

Doping?

Yeah, I
wouldn't be surprised.

Austin's really missing
the bigger story here.

Hmm.

What's going on with you two?

What? Nothing. We're just...

Smiling at each other a lot?

I don't know.

Austin's a really great guy,
but he's got a lot on his plate

with his ex-wife and
son and everything,

and we work together.

- Huh.
- "Huh" what?

I don't know. Maybe
don't overthink it.

Men usually don't.

Mom, look! Here they come!

Oh, here they come!
Here it comes around the corner!

We got Bacon! We got Billy!

- Gabriel, hi.
- Hi, Erica.

I realized my story
was a little thin,

and I was hoping I could ask
you a few more questions.

Um, okay.

Um...

What kind of questions?

Nothing too serious, I promise.

Hey. Who's this?

Hello, sir. Gabriel Tovar
with The Daily Alaskan.

I interviewed Erica after
her win at the fair.

Oh. What brings you
by today, Gabriel?

Oh, I was hoping to see
where the cabbages are grown,

learn a little bit more
about your process.

I'm just trying to
flesh out my reporting.

I think Erica can help
you out with that.

You game, sweetheart?

- Yeah.
- There you go.

Come on inside.

Do you mind putting your
cellphone in the box?

It's a house rule we have.

We like everyone to stay
present at the farm.

Cellphones tend to get
in the way of that.

I hope that's okay?

Yeah, if it's a house
rule, it's okay with me.

All I need is my pad.

I appreciate that.

Is the no phone rule part
of your farming philosophy?

I guess you could say that.

Yeah, we believe in
a simpler lifestyle.

I used to work in
the tech industry,

and I had an epiphany

that they were doing
more harm than good.

I see.

And can you give me any examples
of the harm technology does,

and what you prefer
about farm life?

Lots.

But I assure you, it would
bore you and your readers.

So, uh, I should
get back to work.

And, uh, you two can get
started on your tour.

Right, of course. Thank
you for your time.

Hi, Eileen.
It's Rushmi.

It's been a while.

I just read your
reporting from Alaska.

Not surprisingly,
it's very good work.

I'm glad you found a new home.

You're missed here
atThe Vanguard.

I'm here if you ever
want to connect.

Excuse me. I need some room.

Hey!

Hey. How you feeling?

What happened?

You passed out, hit your head.

I think you're gonna need
a couple of stitches.

What are
you doing here?

First on the scene.

- Terrific.
- Whoa, hey, Eileen.

I need you to take some
big breaths for me, okay?

Your heart rate is
still pretty high.

I'm fine. Can you take
me back to the hotel?

Uh, no. They
need to examine you,

figure out what happened.

I know what happened. Can
you just take me home?

What happened?

I had a panic attack.

Oh, my God. That
is very unpleasant.

Yeah. That's the salmon part of
the organic salmon fertilizer.

It's not too good on the
nose, but it works magic.

Yeah, noted.

Come on, I'll show you
where the cabbage grows.

It's really pretty.

Wow.

I guess I'll have to sketch it
since I don't have my phone.

Yeah, sorry about that.

My dad is kind of intense
when it comes to technology.

Is it more than cellphones?

Everything... computers,
TVs, anything with a chip.

Wow. I don't think I could
live without my devices.

What about at school?

Home-schooled.

Oh, by your parents?

My dad. Um...

My mom died when I was 11.

I'm sorry.

She got cancer.

Brain tumor.

My dad became convinced
it was from her cellphone.

Oh. So, that explains...

Yeah, he just changed.

Everything about our life
was suddenly dangerous.

He said we have to stop
feeding the monster

and that technology
was eating us alive.

And then we moved here.

So is it just the two
of you on the farm?

I mean, we have some people
who help us with the work,

but, yeah, it's mostly
just me and my dad.

And the only other time I
see people is at church.

Where do you go to church?

The Holy Cross Lutheran Church.

How long have you been
having panic attacks?

I'm a newbie.

It was my 3rd.

Have you been under a
lot of stress recently?

No. I don't know.

Yeah.

Was there anything
that you could point to

that precipitated it?

I got jostled by a
few Swedish tourists

in the elevator.
That's about it.

When can I leave?

I'm sorry, but you
really clonked your head.

I need to make sure that
you don't have a concussion,

and I need to keep you under
observation for a few hours.

A few hours?

Hey.

You're still here.

I'm not about to
leave you here alone.

How are you?

Fine.

Can you stop staring
at me with that face?

Any idea what triggered it?

Can we not talk
about this right now?

Of course.

That... That piece
you did with Durkin

was really excellent reporting.

Great. Can we get a
bigger travel budget?

Might need to wait a
little bit on that one.

Why can't you just authorize it?

Or does your dad really
hold the purse strings?

I'm sorry. I have a terrible
personality when I unravel.

Don't we all.

But I understand
your frustrations

with the budget at the paper.

I'm doing my best.

I just hope that
you can be patient.

I think I got the
patient thing down.

You know, my dad
could be intense, too.

Yeah? In what way?

Well, mostly work.

He worked in the oil industry.

He was disappointed I
didn't go to work with him,

but I have no interest in it.

Well, I think it's brave
for you to go on your own.

I couldn't do that with my dad.

Are you worried about him?

I mean, he's just been
different since my mom passed.

Can you give me an example?

Like, he started going
to these meetings.

Anti-technology meetings?

Yeah. That's when he started
to become moody and secretive.

Secretive how?

Like, this barn...

I've been playing in
there since I was a kid,

and one day, he just
told me to stay out.

Can I see what's inside?

Well, he locked it.

That's what I
mean. It's weird.

I'm just worried he's
going too far with it all.

What's too far?

I don't know.

I... Can we not talk about
this anymore, Gabriel?

Sure.

Can we keep this between us?

Sure.

But you do have someone that
you can talk to about it, right?

In Alaska?

How about in New York?

Someone you trust?

I'm not sure I trust
myself at this point.

Well, you gotta figure
out why this is happening.

I gotta figure out how
to get out of here.

The Jello looks really
good in the cafeteria.

What about some of that for now?

Sure. Lemon.

Uh, thank you again, sir.

Your farm is very impressive.

Oh, you're welcome. It
was a pleasure having you.

And good luck with your article.

Oh, right... cellphone.

Unless, of course, you're
willing to live without it.

Uh, not quite yet,
but thank you.

All right.

And thank you for the tour.

I think I got what I needed.

You're welcome.

And you know where to reach
me if you ever want to talk.

I think you're really
nice and smart,

and I'm glad that
you're a reporter.

Gabriel.

How'd you get in here?

I'm just taking a look around.

It's helpful to see what it
takes to make a farm work,

for my story.

Well, I'm glad you
find that interesting,

but I think it's time
for you to leave now.

Oh, of course. Sure.

How are the radishes?

Eileen, I
need your advice.

- Yeah?
- Yeah.

I just left the farm, and I
know something's wrong there,

but I'm not quite
sure what it is.

I want to talk it
through with you.

Sure. Uh, why don't
you, uh, pick me up?

Really? Okay. Your hotel?

No, uh, First
Anchorage Hospital.

What? Why are you there?

Just pick me up.
Out front. Now.

Okay.

Hi, Stanley.

Where are you?

I'm just running a few errands.

I talked to Aaron.

Well, I guess it's pretty
clear who can't keep a secret.

He was worried.

And so am I.

I'm fine, Stanley.

It doesn't sound to
me like you're fine.

I'm so sorry,
Stanley. I gotta go.

I'll check in with you later.

Thanks
for picking me up.

Are you okay? Why were
you at the hospital?

Not important.

So what do you
want to talk about?

I did what you said.
I went to the farm,

and you were right.
That's where the story is.

I interviewed Erica,
and she told me her dad

is acting very strange.

Don't most kids think
that about their parents?

Maybe, but it's just
the two of them,

and he's become very anti-tech.

She said he's acting
weird and secretive.

Did you see anything?
Hear anything?

No. Erica let me into the barn

that he usually keeps locked,

but I looked around
and... Hold on.

I just realized something.
They had fertilizer

in the barn... tons of it.

So? It's a farm.
That makes sense.

Not there. They only use
organic salmon fertilizer.

That's their whole approach.

Was there a lot of it?

Yes, like three or four pallets.

Okay, well, not to get
ahead of ourselves,

but fertilizer is
ammonium nitrate.

That's used to blow things up.

Get to her. Give
her the permission

she needs to tell you more.

That's your job. Got it?

- Mm-hmm.
- Good.

Do it.

Hello?

Erica, hi. It's Gabriel.

I can't talk, Gabriel.

My dad is really upset
you were in the barn.

I'm sorry, but I really
need to talk to you

as soon as possible.

I can't. I'm sorry.
I have to go.

Wait, please.

You have church
tomorrow morning, right?

I'm going to come.
I'll see you there.

No, he'll be with me.

- Erica?
- I'll be right there, Dad.

I have to go. I'm sorry.

I'll be there. At
church. Tomorrow.

Hey. How are you?

- Hey, Dad. I'm just gonna go.
- Sure, okay.

Hi.

Thank you for meeting me.

This is really hard for me.

What is?

Erica, this is your
chance to help your dad.

You can talk to me.

What is that?

Some of the people from
the group my dad meets with

gave it to him.

He keeps it hidden in his room.

It's really messed up.

I don't want my dad
to do something bad.

Can I see it?

Gabriel, he's all I have.

This is insane.

"There comes a
time when true Patriots

must erase the mistakes of
the past and the present,

and overthrow our economic
and technological systems

by whatever means necessary."

"That includes violence if
it furthers our purpose.

Signed, Genesis."

We did a story on these
guys about a year ago.

I think it was Austin.

Genesis is a legit
eco-terrorist group.

Call Austin. See
what he knows.

We have a story here.

We got the pieces of a story.

We have a very unstable guy

who's hoarding
bomb-making materials,

and he's tied to a group of
crazies who advocate violence.

We have a farmer
stockpiling fertilizer

and exercising his
first amendment rights.

- You're ignoring the facts.
- I'm stating the facts.

There's something here, but
we're making some leaps.

Stanley, come on.

Go back and put it
to Block directly.

Short of more facts, we need
to get him on the record

confirming his intent or
his connection to Genesis.

So we ask him if he's
planning to build a bomb?

That's exactly what we do.
This is when it gets fun.

That doesn't seem like fun.

It's a certain type of fun.

- What else?
- We should make a call, Bob.

I agree.

Are you gonna tell the feds?

Yes. We have to.

Well, don't let them
piss on his story.

Go. Get a comment.

Ready?

Do you see him?

No.

There.

All right. Look him in the
eye. Ask the questions.

Don't let him go
till he answers.

Right.

Mr. Block?

This is my colleague,
Eileen Fitzgerald.

I don't want you talking
to Erica ever again.

You've lost our trust.

We don't want to talk to
her. We want to talk to you.

Really?

When I was in your barn,
I saw your stockpile

of ammonium nitrate fertilizer.

So what? It's a farm.

Ammonia nitrate can also
be used to make a bomb.

Am I being accused
of something here?

Just asking a question.

You're planning to build a
bomb with those materials?

Why would I build a bomb?

Are you a member of the
eco-terrorist group Genesis?

Where'd you...
Where'd you get that?

Can you answer the question?

Did you steal that
from my house?

Okay, if so, I will have
you arrested right now.

He didn't steal it.

Then how did he get it?

I gave it to them, Dad.

What? Why would you do that?

'Cause I don't wanna lose you,
and I feel like I already have.

N-No. No, come on.

Never. I... I'm...

She's scared, Mr. Block.

She's worried about your
involvement with Genesis.

Okay, don't tell me
about my daughter.

She's all I have left.

Okay? I don't want her to
grow up in a world like this.

She needs to be protected.
That's what I'm trying to do.

I'm not a terrorist.

You are if you blow things
up to make your point.

Okay. We gotta go.

I'll be in the car.

Erica, I'm sorry.

Are you okay?

Yeah.

You wanna come with us?

No, I need to go be with my dad.

I need to go help him.

He's a good man.

Thank you.

Ted, I'm
here with Bob Young.

Good to meet you, Bob.

Uh, same here, Agent Creighton.

One of my reporters came
across a large amount

of ammonium nitrate at an
organic farm in the Valley.

Any reason to believe
it isn't being stored

for its intended purpose?

The farmer appears
to be affiliated

with an eco-terrorist
group called Genesis.

- Are you aware of them?
- We are.

How'd you get on to this guy?

Well, his farm,
uh, won the contest

for the biggest cabbage
at the State Fair.

And his connection to
this Genesis group?

He was in possession of
an anti-tech manifesto

published by them.

It clearly supported
the use of violence.

Does the guy have a name?

Brandon Block. Does
that ring a bell?

No, it doesn't.

B-L-O-C-K?

Correct.

Where's the farm?

Ted, we are considering
running a story

on Block and his
connection to Genesis.

If this guy blows something
up and people die,

we don't wanna wear that.

Sure, but hypothetically,
if we were aware

that someone was planning
an attack in Alaska,

we would make an arrest well
before the planned event.

Gotcha.

Okay, Ted.

I'll be in touch.

You think an attack is imminent?

Hard to tell, but
something is cooking.

What'd you get?

He's unhinged.

He's not a mastermind,
but he's a foot soldier.

Did he tell you he's using the
fertilizer to build a bomb?

Most terrorists don't disclose
that information, Bob.

They're funny that way.

- If he didn't confirm it...
- We have enough, Stanley.

- This is a good story.
- It's not enough to publish.

- You're wrong.
- I agree.

- Noted.
- We have a manifesto.

He has a First Amendment
right to read whatever.

Did you cave to the FBI?

I don't appreciate
the accusation.

- And you're wrong.
- We are close.

You uncovered something
the FBI didn't even have.

That is meaningful.

But I'm sorry, we
are short here.

This story is not
ready to publish.

- We're not done.
- Good.

Come on, Gabriel.

You pissed off?

Yeah. I kind of am.

Good. Use that. Make 'em pay.

- Make who pay?
- Everyone.

Anyone who stands between
you and telling your stories.

You know what I mean.

I think I do.

Eileen Fitzgerald.

This is Oren Conners.

Chief Conners. Thank
you for calling.

Stay mad.

We've been looking for you.

I read your article
about Durkin.

Yeah, what'd you think?

I think I have
something for you.

Can you meet me at the
River Grill, 5:00 p.m.?

I sure can.

You leaving?

Yeah, I am.

Got time for a
beer at, uh, Beard?

You don't drink.

You do.

And my bet is, you could
use one right about now.

I want you to know that the
fact that we aren't publishing

is not a reflection
of your work,

but a reflection of the
bar we set as journalists.

I understand that, in theory.

But in practice, it sucks.

- Mm-hmm.
- I get it.

But publishing a
story that's not there

can do a lot more
harm than good.

You should know that the FBI
didn't have Brandon Block

on their radar. They do now.

- They told you that?
- They did.

I just spoke to my
contact there again.

This is how Genesis works...

They target damaged
people, they groom them,

and, ultimately,
they radicalize them.

It sounds like Brandon Block

was about to do
something very stupid,

and you may have prevented that.

And by sharing that
information with the FBI,

you may have helped save lives.

So, Gabriel...

Welcome to the newsroom.

You mean...

Be it a blessing or a curse,

you are now a reporter
for The Daily Alaskan.

Are you serious?

In addition to your
current duties.

And I can't give you a
financial bump right away.

I understand.

Thank you...

very much.

He's inside.

- Did you bump your head?
- I did.

On the ground.

Big night?

Isn't every night in
Alaska a big night?

No, I was drinking
all the time back then.

Wrapped a cruiser
around a light pole.

I had zero credibility.

So, are you saying you guys
made headway on Gloria's case?

Durkin did. He was
my lead investigator.

But as you guys reported, he
didn't want to pursue any leads.

But you were the chief.
Why didn't you push him?

I was a drunk.

I had no leverage.

Durkin was after my
job, and he got it.

Reading your article
brought it all back.

Shook me up.

Grateful for that.

Look, understand,
whoever killed Gloria

is sure that he
will never be found.

You have advantage.

What kind of advantage?

Thank you.

Yeah.

Is this what I think it is?

The un-redacted police report.

Look, here's two names...
Ezra Fisher and Rega Horne.

Durkin had two
persons of interest.

Durkin doesn't matter anymore.

These guys do.

Well, you got your wish...
Working on the weekend.

Barely. It's Sunday night.
That's almost Monday.

Where should I drop you?

Hotel bar is fine.

So how'd the tournament go?

Good. We won.

Well, that doesn't surprise me.

Is this you being nice?

Should we go?
