Motive (2013–2016): Season 1, Episode 11 - Brute Force - full transcript

Claire?

Did you know
Al Capone's brother was a cop?

His name
was James Vincenzo Capone.

Uh-huh.

And, in order to hide
the relationship,

he changed his name
to Richard James Hart

and he became
a Federal Prohibition Officer.

They called him
"Two-Gun" Hart.

Joey, I'm working.

Hey. Just check it out.

I mean, the guy should be



just as famous as his brother,

and nobody knows who he is.

Hey!

You got customers over here!

Relax, buddy.
It's just a beer.

Are you telling me what to do?

No, but I am.

If you know what's good for you,
you'll get out of here.

That's okay, Beth.

I can handle this.

- Oh, can you?
- Yeah.

Hey! Hey!

Hey!

Now give me that beer.



It's your funeral.

Beth asked me to call you.

So you like bullying women
and guys in wheelchairs, huh?

What, you mean
the skank and the gimp?

"Just as much
as we see in others,

we have in ourselves."

What's that supposed to mean?

It means I feel sorry for you.

Well, I feel sorry for you.

You telegraph your punches.

Look. Try short,
controlled jabs.

All right?

Short, controlled jabs.

Block with your arms!

I said block!

You're not blocking.

Okay, okay!

Okay.

Some people never learn.

Hey. Where's the guy
who found the body?

We've got him in the office.

Okay. I'll be
right there.

Well, hello.

Hey.

Where's Detective Lucas?

Date night,

which you and I know
I do not have,

so I said I'd cover for him.

Do you know that
my first husband

tried to save our marriage
with date nights?

And what happened?

I met my second husband.

Well, that's one way to do it.

God, if I had a dollar
for every guy who asks

to play with my handcuffs...

I'd only have a few bucks.

Well, I'd be rich.

Who's this?

This is Mark "Machine" Mason.

Stabbed twice in the back.

Body is still warm.
Rigor hasn't even set in yet.

This is recent.
Very recent.

I'm thinking between
10:00 and 10:30.

The weapon
was sharp and hollow.

Probably homemade.

Definitely homicide.

Well, so much for
going out with you.

Raincheque?

You know it.

Hey, Vega? It's Ange.

We got one.

Hi. I'm Detective Flynn.
I heard you found the body.

I don't believe it.

I can't believe
my brother's dead.

Brute Force
Original Air Date May 2, 2013

Mark was on the floor
when I came in.

Uh... he wasn't breathing

and I called the ambulance.

Take your time.

Was the door open
when you got here?

The gym door is always locked.

You got to be buzzed in
if you don't have a key.

You know who has keys?

All of our fighters.

Me. Beth.

Oh, God, Beth.

I have to tell her.

Can I go?

We just need a minute more
of your time.

Yeah. We're gonna need a list
of everyone with keys.

Those guys are like
family to us.

Of course,

which is why we need
to speak to them.

They could maybe help us find

the person who did this.

Can you think of anyone who
might want to hurt your brother?

Uh...

Last week, some no-neck
came into Beth's bar,

started causing trouble,

but Mark sorted him out.

He didn't come back around?

Actually, he signed up
for a year-long membership.

That was Mark, you know?

He'd kick your ass,

but you'd still
want to be his friend.

I'm sorry, guys.

I just can't stop thinking
about Beth, Mark's wife.

Yeah, of course.
Thank you.

Thank you.

Hey, Angie.

Angie.

All right, so this is
Mark Mason versus Joe Wilson.

Now, everybody thought
that Mason was gonna lose.

I mean, everybody thought.

Mason shatters Wilson's jaw.

I mean, you got to
check this thing out online.

The entire fight
lasts 15 seconds.

I did not know you were
such a boxing fan.

Well, he was more
than just a fighter.

Golden Gloves, Olympics...

You name it, he won it.

He retired undefeated.

Somebody broke that streak.

Hey.

Anything?

Yeah, I've got this.

Carl Gordon signed in
at 9:00 P.M.,

but didn't sign out.

He's on the list.
He's got his own key.

And Dr. Rogers
puts the time of death

between 10:00 and 10:30.

All right, Mr. Gordon,
let's rumble.

You call that a punch?

I don't want to
hurt your girlfriend.

Aw, that's all right.
She's got a twin.

- Oh, is that right?
- That's right.

All right, put 'em here.

There it is.

JC Square.

You know, I've been thinking.

Well, that's never a good sign.

We should start a yoga class.

Yoga?

Yeah.

Look around you, man.
We ain't set up for yoga.

All we would need is open space
and some mirrors on the wall,

and I don't know
if you've noticed,

but we've got
a lot of open space.

If people want to do yoga,

they should go to a yoga studio,
all right?

Stop talkin' out your ass
and let's do this, huh?

What about boxercise?

Boxercise?

Yeah. It's like
boxing aerobics.

I know what boxercise is, man!

Check it. Check it.

We got three classes
a week, all right?

We got 30 people per class,

free for members,
$10 for drop-ins.

You could even teach a class.

This is a boxing gym.

A boxing gym that can
generate extra revenue

with exercise classes.

My knee's killing me.

So that's a no?

That's great.

I love these talks, Mark.

Dumbass.

We're closed!

Who is it?

- It's me!
- It's Joey.

We're still closed.

Beth, I need to talk to you!

'Kay. Fine. Let him in.

I don't care
how thirsty you are.

I'm not risking
my liquor licence.

Beth.

Joey, there's always...

Beth!

Mark's dead.

Joey, that's not funny.

I wish I was kidding.

Someone came into the gym

and he stabbed him.

Police are over there
right now.

I'm here.

Well, according
to the sign-in sheet,

you were at the gym tonight.

Yeah, it's the only
time I get to train.

My wife works days,

so I cook dinner
for her and the kids,

before hitting the gym,
then on to work.

What time did you get there?

Around 9:00.

"Machine" showed up
about a half-hour later.

He told me he needed
the place to himself.

Did he say why
he needed it to himself?

Nah. That was none
of my business.

And how was he
when he got there?

Was he happy? Or agitated?
Angry?

He was Machine.

Well, how was he as a trainer?

He made me
run the seawall backwards

with steel-toed boots on.

Spar wearing an eye-patch
to mimic a black eye.

Sounds intense.

I can't complain with
the results, I mean...

I'm 12 and 0.

I-I gotta...
I gotta go.

I gotta get back to the club.

Hey, can you think of anyone

who would argue
with the results?

Machine and "Bam-Bam"
had a falling out.

Bam-Bam?

Yeah. Ricky
"Bam-Bam" Perez.

Well, maybe Machine and Ricky
got together to patch things up?

Nah. Machine didn't have
a reverse gear.

Thanks.

I'm not shilling
no protein powder.

It's not shilling.
It's endorsing.

Why would I endorse it?

Protein powder
don't make you a champion.

It doesn't
not make you a champion.

Look, it's easy.

Okay, you do a couple
of photo shoots,

maybe a few public appearances,

maybe an infomercial.

Put your name on the label.

What, you want me endorse
something I'd never use, huh?

Lots of athletes endorse
products they don't use.

This... is a lie.

I don't lie.

If you sign this contract,

we don't have to
worry about our lease!

I'm not worried
about the lease.

I am!

That's why you're here.

You handle the business.

I handle the boxers.

Look.

I know we're having
some cash-flow problems,

but this,
this isn't the solution.

Then what is?

You figure it out.

I got faith in you,
knucklehead.

Thanks, dumbass.

Carl Gordon says

that you and Mark
had a falling out.

I wouldn't call it
a falling out.

Machine had this whack theory

that money perverted
the purity of the sport.

I wasn't interested
in some vow of poverty,

so we parted ways.

It was your idea to part ways?

Olympic Gold don't mean much

when all you've got
to show for it

is a dump of a gym
and a second-hand pick-up truck.

You know, Mr. Mason
seemed pretty happy

with his accomplishments.

He was the only one.

Joey busted his ass
to keep that place running,

and all he's got to show for it

is a lifetime of soft-serve,
you know what I'm saying?

I think I do.

And what kind of man
lets his wife pay his bills?

One who knows
that marriage is a partnership?

Between that
and changing Joey's piss-bag,

I'm surprised she hung around
as long as she has.

I see.

So maybe you're her knight
in shining armour?

I don't need to raid
another man's henhouse.

And you were nowhere near
Machine's gym last night?

Let's say
between 8:00 and midnight.

I was with my new manager.

Paul Sanders.

Here's his number...

And here's my number.

Well, thank you very much.

Any time, sweetheart.

Now we know why
they call him "Bam-Bam."

Thanks, babe.

Mm.

What's this?

Oh, pfft.
That's Joey's latest pitch.

Franchises.

Well, I hope you told him no.

Oh, you're not actually
considering this?

I've shot down
so many of his ideas lately.

Because he's trying to make you
into something you're not.

Look at this. Look.

You are a boxing gym, okay?

You are not
a fast-food restaurant.

You know, you got a little...
A little something.

Did I get it?

No. It's still there.
It's just...

What is it?

Joey! Mark!

Mark! That was Joey!

What happened?

Joey!

Ah!

Stabilize his neck, Carl.
What the hell happened, man?

The railing broke, man.

The railing broke.

Man, I said I'm fine!

- Just give me a sec.
- Don't move, all right?

Beth, call 911.

- I said I'm fine!
- Don't move, all right?

Oh, God.

So Mark told
Carl Gordon last night

that he needed the gym
for a private meeting.

Any idea who that was with?

That would be me.

You live with him.

Why are you meeting at the gym?

Ever since the accident,
Joey's been living with us.

We weren't getting
much personal time.

We were trying to get pregnant.

Ahh. I see.

And now, what time
did you leave the gym?

About 10:00?

I only had a half-hour.

Oh, Angie?

The hostess at Quattro confirms

that Ricky Perez had
a lovely, leisurely meal

with his new manager,
Paul Sanders.

Oh.

Two bottles of champagne later,

they invite her back
to Mr. Sanders' house

for a private party.

Aw, Bam-Bam!
I thought what we had was real.

I hate it when
suspects have alibis.

Yeah, I didn't do much better.

Everyone who has a key
to the gym checks out.

All right. So our killer
doesn't have a key.

Or he doesn't need one.

Wow. You gotta fix your hair.

- You gotta fix your hair.
- Really?

It's sticking out a little.

Better?

Yeah.

No signs of jimmying, but...

Faulty latch, huh?

Thanks.

All right, why would you
break into a boxing gym?

Well, it's not for the smell,

that's for sure.

Stinky.

Valuables...

Angie.

Guess what's missing.

Gold medals.

Always comes down
to love or money.

Right in here.

If you want to know
if anything's stolen,

wouldn't it be easier
to just go to the gym?

It's still
an active crime scene.

Yeah, about that.

Uh...

Hate to sound callous,

but how long do you think
we'll have to stay closed?

Well, we should be able
to release it tonight.

In the meantime,

we were hoping you wouldn't mind
taking a look at these photos

and telling us
if anything's missing.

Okay.

Well, all the equipment
looks like it's there.

Unless they stole towels.

Man...

The gold medals are missing.

So those weren't in a safe?

No, they're not.
Mark... man!

Aw, damn it.

I told him not to
put them on display.

It's definitely tempting.

When I arrived last night,

there was someone in the alley.

He's always back there.
He was rooting through trash.

- Breaking into cars.
- Can you describe him?

Skinny dude.

Short blond hair. 5'8".

A scar on his cheek.

You do know you can
stop any time, right?

You don't have to do this.

I gotta earn it. 19...

20.

All right.
That's 20 for 20.

Thanks, man.

Get yourself something to eat.

You wanted to talk?

Yeah.

I'm dropping Perez
from the roster.

That's a bad idea.

It's not a debate.
I'm telling you this

out of courtesy.

Last time I checked,
this was a partnership,

which means we have to agree

on every business decision.

I don't like the way
he's looking at Beth.

That's it?

That's my wife

and your sister-in-law
we're talking about.

That's right,
and this is a business,

not a clubhouse.

You don't like the way
he's looking at her,

then you tell him,

but we've invested too much
in Perez just to drop him!

Damn it, Joey! Why's it always
gotta be about money with you?

Why is it never
about money with you?

Perez is good!

He could go pro, Mark.

He's gone.

No, he's not.

Now it's my turn to say no.

Way to break the door,
tough guy.

Okay. So, sometime
between 10 and 10:30,

the killer breaks in the back,

stabs Mark, steals the medals,

then leaves.

Are you thinking
what I'm thinking?

How does a transient
get the jump

on a professional boxer?

Apparently not,
because I was thinking

we should go to
the pawnshops. Lucas?

This stab wound
damaged the liver.

He'd have been in pain,
but he would've survived it.

This is the one
that killed him.

The weapon sliced
the common iliac artery.

He bled out quickly.

The weapon looks like
some kind of shiv.

Yeah. A shiv
with a hilt.

Both wounds have
the exact same depth.

It doesn't explain

why someone got
the drop on him.

That is probably the knee.

Makes sense.

The killer knows

that Mason's left knee
is compromised

from a previous injury.

He sneaks up, hits it,

then stabs him.

"Hits it"?

That's a bit of understatement.

Look at this.

That knee was pulverized.

What?

Well, it's one thing
to break Mason's knee

to disable him, but that...

That looks like rage.

Bam-Bam.

Get in the ring.

Sure.

Come on, Bam-Bam,
mess him up.

You're damn right
I'm gonna mess him up.

What the hell are you doing?

I'm training my fighter.

Your...? "Our" fighter!

Whatever.

That's right boys.
See me knock this fool out.

Hey. What're we doing?

Are we dancing
or are we fighting?

Whatever you want, old man.

Didn't see that coming, did you?

All right. Let's go.
All right.

Old man versus
young Bam-Bam.

You want a real fight?
You think you're funny?

Come on!

Never underestimate
your opponent, son.

Go to hell.

Carl, help him up.

What?

It's not my fault
if he wants to quit.

Mrs. Mason?
Tony Manning. CKET 4 news.

Can we have a few
minutes of your time, ma'am?

Please, just leave me alone.

Are you able to tell us,

has there been any progress
with the investigation?

No comment!

What about the police?

Do the police
have any suspects?

This is private property!

If you don't leave,
I'm gonna call the cops.

Please, Mrs. Mason...

What's going on?

Tony Manning.
CKET 4 news.

You're Joey Mason, right?
Mark's brother?

Don't talk to him.

I know that this is
a difficult time for you,

but Mark Mason
was a national hero.

Can we ask you a few questions?

You leave her alone
and you got a deal.

You got it.

I had no idea there were
so many pawnshops in this city.

Betty have any answers?

Nope. Only
more questions.

We did get
a composite sketch, though.

Oh, good.

Let's get out
to the patrol cars,

see if anyone recognizes him.

Flynn! Vega!

You're going to want
to see this.

All of us...

His family, his friends,

his colleagues
at Machine's gym,

we're all lost without him.

I'm asking his killer
to please do the right thing

and surrender
to the authorities.

A heartfelt plea
from Mark Mason's brother,

Joey Mason,

to the "Gold-Medal Killer."

He's described as a homeless man
in his mid-30s

with a scar on his right cheek.

This mystery man
is wanted for the brutal murder

of former Olympic
Boxing Champion Mark Mason.

This is Tony Manning, CKET...

"Gold-Medal Killer."
That's, that's great.

Here come the crazies.

Tony Manning from CKET 4

is on line three for Angie.

He wants a comment.

Sure.

Can I use your phone?

Hey.

I was beginning to think
you weren't going to show.

Again.

And miss this quality time
with my loving brother?

Not on your life.

I tell you, man.

Watching you dismantle
Bam-Bam the other day...

took me back.

It was like Athens
all over again.

Yeah. You know...

felt pretty good
blowing out the pipes.

It was like classic Machine.

Like you never even
hurt your knee.

You must be in some crazy pain
right now, huh?

Pain is just weakness
leaving the body, bruh.

Does this person
have a scar on his cheek?

It's on his forehead. I see.

Is it shaped
like a lightning bolt?

No, ma'am,
I'm not making fun of you.

Why is it that you think

that your husband
killed Mr. Mason?

I don't think being lazy
is the same as being homeless.

How have things been lately

between you and your husband?

Do you know
who killed Mark Mason?

Oh, you did?

And where did you shoot him?

In the face?

Well, we're gonna come
right over

and arrest you right now.

Detective?
This man wants

to talk to you
about the Mason case.

Wait, wait!
Hey, get back here!

Uh... sir, I'm kind of
tied up right now.

Would you mind waiting for me
in the lobby?

You'll want to talk to me.

And why is that, Mister...?

Uh, Beaumont.
Because I have...

These.

I spotted the medals

just before I emptied
the container into the truck.

So whereabouts
did you find them?

Uh, the alley behind Victoria,
at 22nd.

Victoria and 22nd.

That's only
a few blocks from the gym.

You see anything else?

Nothing like those medals.

Can I go now?

Did you see him in the alley?

No. I just saw the medals.

Is... is there a reward
for those medals?

Okay. Thank you
for stopping by.

We'll be in touch.

Mr. Beaumont,
we'd really appreciate

if you could keep this
to yourself.

What's in it for me?

You get to sleep
in your own bed.

Thank you for coming.

But thank you.

Thank you so much.

I don't get it.

Why go to all the trouble
of stealing the medals

if you're just gonna dump 'em?

Panic? Or remorse.

Or a fake-out.

Well, Beth Mason said

she was trying to get
pregnant with Mark, right?

Yeah, but she was also

the last person
to see him alive.

Joey found the body.

Many hands make light work.

You know,
there are professional crews

that can do that.

I was Mark's cornerman.

I'm used to his blood.

What can I do for you guys?

Well, you could do us a favour.

Just check with us

before you talk
to the press again.

I thought it would help.

Yeah.

It's just that involving
the press, it's like a...

It's a little bit of
a double-edged sword.

Yeah. Too much
information can

get in the way
of an investigation.

You know, conspiracy
theories fly,

manpower gets stretched.

You know, it can
be a real mess.

Okay. I'm done. I promise.

How are you and Beth
holding up?

As good as could be expected,
I guess.

Hmm. She seems
like a strong one.

That's what attracted Mark
to her in the first place.

Two Alpha personalities
like that?

I bet there were
some real fireworks.

Mark and Beth never fought.

They were, uh, they were tight.

Like, child-safety-lock tight.

She's the only one
he would listen to.

Hard to imagine
Mark "Machine" Mason

taking orders from anyone.

Well, beauty tamed the beast.

Joey and Mark?

Those two could yell
at each other one second

and be laughing the next.

After Joey's accident,

it wasn't even
a question for Mark.

He was coming to live with us.

That must have
caused some stress

on your marriage, no?

Well, you take care of family.

You ever seen
this person hanging

around the neighbourhood?

That's "Push-Ups."

He would
never tell me his name,

but he would offer
to do push-ups for money.

Beth? Beer guy
needs your autograph.

Okay, thanks.
Can you give me a sec?

Actually, we're good,
so thank you for your time.

Thank you.

Okay.

Hey. It's Claire,
right?

Beth said that, uh,

she was here
the night of the murder?

Shouldn't you guys
be out looking

for the real killer?

Well, we have to account
for everyone's whereabouts.

It's nothing personal.

We were both here.

All night?

Uh, Beth ran dinner
over to Machine.

Maybe, like, 9:30.

She would've been
back around 10:00.

She was here until we closed.

We were cleaning up

when Joey came
to tell her the news.

And how was she
when she got back?

She was happy.

I mean, until Joey showed up.

Up until then,
it had been a J.F.D.

"Joey-Free Day."

Beth didn't
get along with Joey?

Oh. No, don't get me wrong.

I mean, Beth loves Joey.

Um, he's just, uh...

He's had a really hard time
adjusting to his new situation.

It's been frustrating.

For all of them.

Okay. Thank you.

So much for
the tight-knit Mason family.

Beth?

Hey, Beth!

Look.

I know that things have been
strained between us lately,

but everything that's happened
has made me realize

that nothing is more important
to me than family.

Here.

Joey, this is your worker's
compensation check.

I-I can't take this.

Yes, you can, and you will.

And you're gonna keep taking it

until I've paid you back
all the money you lent for the gym.

I-I just have
one request.

Give me a year
to turn the gym around.

Wow, Joey...

I-I don't know what to say.

No, no.
I don't deserve a thank-you.

I've been too busy
feeling sorry for myself.

Those days are over.

I'll think about it.

Okay Beth.

Mm-hmm. Yeah.

How do you know the government
killed Mr. Mason.

His ghost told you.

Oh! His ghost told your cat?

Yeah. I see.

I'm just gonna
put you on hold here.

Thanks, guys. That's funny.

Just trying
to solve a murder here.

Hey, Lucas.
How are things?

Six more confessions
and counting.

Oh, you need a break.

Why don't you work on this?

Staff at Broadway
drop-in center

think that "Push-Ups"
might be Tyler Switzer.

Mr. Switzer has schizophrenia.

We've checked with the other
shelters and the kitchen

no one has seen him
for a few days.

Tyler Switzer
has no criminal record,

and he hasn't been
arrested recently.

Well, we're looking
for family members,

emergency contacts,
you know, that stuff.

Found him.

So this is the guy
that Joey described

being in the alley
on the night of the murder.

Yeah, that's him.

Betty, meet Tyler Switzer.

Yeah, I can pretty much
guarantee you,

Mr. Switzer
is not your killer.

He overdosed and was
brought into the morgue

the day before your
Mark Mason was murdered.

Sounds like
a pretty good alibi.

Also means that Joey's a liar.

Oh, this is a stretch,
even for you.

No. It's not a stretch.
It's a theory.

Joey Mason may have lied,

but it doesn't prove
he's a killer.

Then why make up a story about

a homeless guy in the alley

unless he was trying
to play us?

That's why we have to conceal

the fact that
we've found Tyler.

I don't like the idea of

not informing the family.

Well, neither do I,

but it's the only
leverage we've got.

How much time do you need?

Two days at most.

You got 24 hours.

Why do you always
take my estimates

and cut them in half?

Because I have
so much faith in you.

Now, go catch me a killer.

You want anything else
with that? Fries?

A smoking gun would be nice.

Wouldn't it?

Uppercut!

Here we go! And, up! Up!
Up! Up!

We're gonna double it out!

Five-six-seven and...

Go! Come on! Up!

Hit! Hit! Hit!

Squat! Use those legs!
Come on!

So much for
the grieving period.

Now uppercut with it!
Hit! Hit!

Punch! Punch!

Do you recognize
any of these men

as the man from the alley?

Um...

It was dark, but...

Three.

Maybe your number two
kind of looks like the guy.

Hmm.

Is one of these guys
the suspect?

Oh, we can't tell you that.

I wish I could
be more definite.

So do we.

I should take this.

Yeah. Okay. Thanks.

Hello?

And how have you been coping

since the loss of your brother?

Well,
it's been difficult, man.

I just want to thank everybody

for their kind words,
their cards, emails.

It's nice to know

that Mark touched
so many hearts.

And the police?

I want to thank them
most of a...

I got to buy a suit.

I have some work to do.

Joey, have they told you,
do they have any leads?

Unfortunately,

I'm not at liberty
to divulge that information.

Well, we appreciate
you taking the time.

Now, I contacted
the police myself,

but they declined

to comment on the progress
of the case, excep...

Aw, he's a slippery one,
this one.

Or, if I were
the devil's advocate,

he's innocent.

He found his brother's body.

He lied about the homeless guy
in the alley.

He stole those medals
to make it look like a robbery.

I think he killed his brother.

Well, if he did,
it wasn't for the money.

There's no love connection
between him and Beth.

I just...

I don't see Joey Mason
killing his brother.

Why? Because they're brothers,
or because he's in a wheelchair?

Little bit of both, actually.

Anyone's capable of murder,

especially family.

How about Cain and Abel?
Remember them?

Well, Cain killed Abel
because of envy.

Joey Mason shared in
his brother's success

and his failure.

What are the other sins
from that movie?

Or from the Bible.

Wow. Lust. Gluttony.

Greed. Wrath.
Sloth. Pride.

That one. Pride.

This one likes to be the centre
of attention, doesn't he?

Hey, news guy.

Detective Flynn.

Your message was cryptic.

But it worked.
Here you are.

Without camera.
As requested.

Thank you. Listen.

I could get into
a lot of trouble

if anybody knew that
I was talking to you,

so this has to be
off the record. Okay?

Why are you talking to me?

When I called you
for a comment the other day,

all I got was a dial tone.

Ah.

"A source inside the police,
who wishes to remain anonymous."

Mm. Because
of your report,

we recovered Mason's medals.

You cannot report that.

We have identified

the man that Joey Mason
saw outside the gym

the night of
his brother's murder.

What's his name?

I can't tell you that.

He's a person of
interest right now.

But an arrest is imminent,

and that you can report.

Thanks for the tip.

Joey!

Joey, they have a suspect.

What?

Who?

They won't say,

but they're expecting
to make an arrest soon.

Like, it's all over the news!

I thought that they might.

They asked me to look
at a photo line-up.

I guess I helped
more than I thought.

Wait! What... what?
Why didn't you tell me?

After everything
you've been through,

I didn't want, uh, didn't want
you get your hopes up.

Oh, Joey.

Joey, I owe you an apology.

For what?

I haven't been
the best sister-in-law lately.

Beth, you're talking crazy.

No. I...

Things have been so much harder
since your accident.

You know, money was tight.

Everything was just different.

And then,
what happened with Mark, I...

I just...
I started to blame you for it.

You actually thought that
I could kill Mark?

Joey...

Mark would be so proud of you,

I mean, the way you've
stepped up to the plate.

You know, people used to ask me

how it felt
to live in Mark's shadow...

I don't know...

Because I always felt like
I was basking in his glow.

Mark didn't
believe in compromise,

and he never
doubted his beliefs.

An obstacle was nothing more
than a challenge to him.

Telling the press
we had a suspect

is a bit of a hail Mary,
don't you think?

When I broke...

Well, you saw
how slippery he was

with that photo line-up.

Only way we're gonna
get him is by

lulling him into
a false sense of security.

Mark was the one
that showed me

that I still have
so much more to live for.

There's something
different about him.

Yeah. He thinks
he got away with murder.

The kind of guy we should all
try and aspire to be.

There's something else.

That I always wanted to be.

A man I was
so very proud to know.

Mark was my brother

and he was my hero.

I looked up to him...

even before I was in this...
this chair.

We're going to need
a search warrant.

I think I know
where the murder weapon is.

This is Mark's funeral.

We realize
it's an inconvenience,

but time's of the essence.

We won't be able
to arrest Mark's killer

without your help,

so, I'm sorry.

Joey, you don't
have to do this.

You said that
Mark would be proud of me

for stepping up to the plate.

This is me
stepping up to the plate.

Okay.

She's gone.

What we're about to tell you

is privileged information.

Nobody can know.

We've analyzed

all the evidence
from Mark's murder,

and there's no way a stranger
killed your brother.

Your brother was killed
by someone who knew him.

It's the only way someone could

get close enough to him.

And you don't have to
protect her anymore.

P-protect her?

Yeah.

We know it was Beth.

Beth?

Oh, come on.
Drop the act, Joey.

We know that's why
you made up the story

about the homeless guy
in the alley.

You talk to us now, we'll
drop the obstruction charges.

You lie to us again,

we'll charge you
at the full extent of the law,

you understand?

Pain is just weakness
leaving the body, bruh.

Yeah, but if
you overexert yourself,

who knows what kind
of damage could happen.

I mean, I sure don't.

I don't know how bad
your knee even is.

In fact...

I don't believe
there's ever been

anything wrong with your knee.

You know what you do?

You always walk away
so you won't have to lie.

I walk away when
I'm tired of your crap.

All these years,

you've preached
about determination

and commitment,

but you know what, man?

You're just a quitter!

I'm not a quitter!

No, you're a liar!
You lied to me!

- Because you wouldn't listen!
- We could've turned pro!

We could've been
world champions!

And you're still not listening!

There is no "we"
in that equation!

I bled with you, man,
I've trained with you!

I broke my back in
this dump because of you!

I never twisted your arm!

Mark and Beth, uh...

They were fighting
all the time.

She'd been funding the gym
for a while now,

with, um, profits from the bar.

So she was tired
of underwriting

her husband's pipe-dream?

Steals the medals,
makes it look like a robbery.

Most likely.

She never confessed to you?

She doesn't know
that I suspect her.

Then why protect her?

Yeah. Why send us
on a wild goose chase?

I know that
it was wrong. I, um...

She's family.

I'm sorry. That's all I...
that's all I know.

- I have to...
- We, uh...

We can't let you go anywhere.

What... what is...
What is this?

Joey Mason?

This is a search warrant
for your wheelchair.

Watch your arm.

What are you...
are you kidding me?

Are you kidding? Oh...

You... why would I
kill my brother?

Athens.

A... Athens, what?

If you want
to disable someone...

That's one, maybe two shots.

You destroyed
your brother's knee.

You really went to town on it.

You want to tell us about that?

I bled with you!

I broke my back in this dump

because of you!

I never twisted your arm!

I never asked you to stay!

That's 'cause you never had to!

I believed in you, man.

I gave up my life...

my dreams...

For your lies.

But you would've never
had a life if it wasn't for me.

You know, Beth was right.

You've turned into a parasite.

Ah!

I can live without you.

We've got blood.

Joey Mason,
you are under arrest

for the murder of Mark Mason.

We've got a car around back.
Let's take him that way.

No! Wait!
No, no, no, no!

No, no. No, no.
You're wrong!

What? Joey, tell them
that they're wrong.

Joey! Tell them something.
No, no, no, no. No.

Hold on. Hold on.
Joey, say something.

Joey! Say something!

Oh, my God.

After everything
he did for you?

The undefeated Mark Mason.

I beat him.

Me.

Congratulations.
