"You gonna be hungry later, mama?" "oh, Dwight." "It's just a memento." "See, they emboss them on the top with little palm fronds." "See that?" "It's, like, their little logo." "Hmm." "Can you believe this place?" "Yeah." "So what's the occasion?" "I truly don't know." "Dwight." "Hello." "Hey." "Hi." "Oh." "Wow, Tony." "What's that..." "your southern-gentleman look?" "he likes it!" "Didn't take the Ferthermoore hotel" "As your kind of place, Tony." "Yeah, sure." "Well, Tony likes the finer things in life, Dwight." "I honestly don't think I could count" "The multitude of forks on this table." "Somebody tell me if I'm using the wrong one." "Are you all right, Tony?" "Yes." "You can stop asking me that." "Yes." "Okay." "Can I get a beer, please?" "Whatever you got on tap." "Oh, no, hold on, hold on." "Uh, may we please have a bottle of champagne?" "Dom Pérignon, '85." "Oh, and, uh, can you bring those little tomato soups now, please?" "I called ahead." "Tomato soup?" "Yeah." "They have tomato soup here?" "Yeah." "Oh, Dwight, that is my favorite." "That's nice." "It is." "It's just for you." "You know, I-I just wanted to say," "I am so pleased that we are all together" "On this..." "this beautiful sunny day" "In this wonderful city that I now call home." "Which is why I asked everyone to be here," "Because there is something that..." "Paul?" "Honey?" "Oh, my God." "Are you all right?" "Mama, mama, stand up." "Stand up." "Oh, my God." "Oh, my God." "Come on." "Mama, you all RI..." "Thank you, Dwight." "What the hell?" "You normally sip your soup like a..." "like a little kitten." "Is that for her?" "Well, it wasn't how I planned it, but..." "Yeah." "What?" "Oh, my God." "Paul, you have made me a better man," "And if you would be my wife, I promise, I will continue to strive..." "Tony." "Tony, you had me at "little kitten."" "I did?" "Oh!" "Yes!" "Oh, Tony, I can't believe this!" "What have you done?" "!" "I know." "Oh, my!" "D-Dwight!" "Can you believe this?" "!" "Nope." "Sure can't." "Welcome to the Bellew family, big guy." "Oh, my!" "Someone call the police!" "Please help me!" "Please." "Please, please help me." "Help me." "Excuse me a minute, mama." "Oh, all right, Dwight." "Miss?" "Detective Hendricks, MPD." "Is there something I can help you with?" "Detective?" "Yes." "My, um... my... uh, Greg." "He... he's gone." "The ceremony was supposed to start two hours ago," "And I've called his cell over and over." "I just don't understand." "Well, you know, day of the wedding, people got nerves." "No, that's not it." "Please." "You have to believe me." "All right, so when's the last time you saw him?" "Um, last night after the rehearsal dinner." "We kissed good night." "I just..." "I think something terrible's happened." "Well, what makes you think that?" "I just heard this, but he sent it at 4:00 in the morning." "I didn't leave my phone on." "I should have, but..." "All right." "Don't you worry, sweetheart." "I'm gonna look into this." "Thank you." "Thank you." "♪ I'm goin' to Memphis ♪" "♪ where the beat is tough ♪" "♪ Memphis ♪" "♪ I can't get enough ♪" "♪ oh, well, it makes you tremble ♪" "♪ and it makes you weak ♪" "♪ gets in your blood, that Memphis beat ♪" "Our bride's father is Gerald Orland." "City councilman?" "Good guy." "My mama lives in his district." "The groom's one of his aides." "The whole wedding party, both sides of the family," "Staying here at the hotel." "Everyone's worried sick." "Checked all the nooks and crannies," "Like you asked, Dwight..." "no Greg." "But I'm still waiting on confirmed access into the a/c vents." "Oh, and a copy of the booklet from the rehearsal dinner." "Their theme colors are Navy and pink." "Shenanigans went on the night of my wedding" "Put me in harm's way, that's for sure." "Thanks, Sutton." "Councilman Orland, good afternoon." "I'm lieutenant rice." "These are detectives Hendricks, white." "Thanks to you for getting over here so quick." "I know how this looks, but you got to understand," "Greg doesn't have a flaky bone in him." "He's like a son to me, and my daughter's my only angel," "So you'll forgive me if I'm just a little emotional with y'all." "We understand." "Thank you." "This is, uh..." "Don Watson." "This is my wife." "Lori Watson." "Hi." "We're Greg's folks." "Don't like the sound of that message that he left Hilary." "When was the last time you all saw Greg?" "Was last night after dinner." "He said good night to Hilary and us and went up to his room." "Must've been... what?" "..." "Around 9:30." "Oh." "Would y'all excuse me for just a moment, please?" "So, 9:30?" "Well, actually, two of us grabbed a beer down here after that." "Me and his mom had been holding some diamond earrings for him." "It's a secret bride's gift for Hilary." "And she was getting him these vintage onyx cuff links" "For the groom's gift." "I passed it on to him, and we chatted a bit..." "Proud dad stuff mostly..." "he's my only son." "And then we went back upstairs." "11:00, maybe." "The news was already over." "Okay." "So around 11:00's the last time anybody saw him?" "Yes." "Actually, Greg called me around midnight." "We came back down to the bar." "We were here drinking until pretty late... maybe 1:30." "Oh, my God!" "You're Colin Stephens, the basketball player!" "I knew I knew you, man!" "What are you doing in our investigation?" "I'm Greg's best man." "oh, shut up!" "Shut up!" "Shut up!" "Do you all know anybody" "That might have wanted to hurt Greg?" "Not Greg." "No, everybody loves Greg." "You got to understand." "We call him "st." "Greg."" "His idol is Bobby Kennedy." "Wrote a thesis on him in school." "He's modeled his life after him." "Right." "Well, if we're gonna find Greg," "We're gonna need total honesty from you, warts and all." "Did Greg come with you to leopard ladies lounge last night, Colin?" "What?" "That strip club?" "No." "No way." "Well, the bar here closes at midnight." "You got the entry stamp right there on your hand." "Did Greg come with you, Colin?" "Yes, he did." "But he didn't participate with any of the ladies." "That was all me." "We left here around 1:00." "We were back by 2:30." "Hey, Dwight, I think I better head on down to leopard lounge" "And interview those ladies." "I mean, really go at them, 'cause my instincts are telling me..." "Hang on, Sutton." "So, did Greg go right back up to his room after that?" "I think so." "I..." "Look, I had a girl come back with me from the club." "Last I saw him, he was in the lobby." "All right, does anybody have any idea" "Where Greg might have gone after 2:30?" "No." "Nah." "Dwight, I am absolutely not allowed" "To show you security footage without a warrant." "No can do, Larry." "A warrant takes all day." "We ain't got that kind of time." "Look, I understand, but the clientele here is..." "Elite." "They do not tolerate indiscretion" "On the part of the hotel." "Dwight, I'll lose my job." "Larry, remember ijuniorear," "You were running for student council secretary" "And you were gonna get your ass kicked?" "I did you a solid, didn't I?" "Got the whole football tea" "And most of the marching band to vote for you." "That Ge you the edge, and you won." "Looking back over your life, Larry," "I got to say, seems to me," "That was the moment you truly blossomed," "Probably the reason you got this job in the first place." "Wouldn't you agree?" "Dwight..." "yeah, I would, too." "So wouldn't you say you owe me one?" "All right, these are the tapes from last night from 12:00 to 4:00." "Now, they're by floor, and there's two hours of footage on each." "Ooh, that's not a good thing." "What the hell's going on, Larry?" "Who took these?" "I don't know." "I can give you two minutes." "D for the record, Dwight, I'm not comfortable with this." "Those the earrings give you for Hilary?" "Two minutes." "Empty." "Greg's phone" "Password locked." "Curtain liner." "Shower's wet." "Water was on within the last few hours." "Is that blood?" "Somebody tried to wash this Dow." "Get something heavy." "Yeah." "Move." "Wait, why do you need something heavy?" "Stop!" "Hold on!" "What the hell are you doing?" "!" "Dwight!" "Dwight, forget student council!" "Why don't you..." "don't worry about it, At's Italian marlarry." "Plea!" "Oh." "Okay, stor a sec." "Whitehead, hold on." "Hold on, hold on." "Man, look at all this." "You're right." "Oh, God." "That's a lot of blood." "Yeah." "Yeah, yeah." "All right." "Hendricks, Gloria confirmed, it is Greg's blood type." "You don't lose that much blood and live." "All right." "First blush, I'd say this is personal." "Eve of a wedding." "Marrying the boss's daughter." "Greg's in a pressure cooker." "Maybe he gets into a fight." "Weddings, people are drunk and angry... traditionally." "Political family on top of it." "Could be something there." "What don't fit is how the murder went down." "Sneaking Greg's body down six floors, out the hotel," "Nobody notices?" "The security cameras are hidden," "But this guy knew he was being videotaped," "Knew where to sneak in, steal the footage." "So you think it's an inside job," "Somebody that knew the place intimately." "Yeah, could be, y'all, 'cause all the strippers are saying" "None of them saw Greg after he left with Colin, and I believe them." "Just to be on the safe side," "I'm gonna haul in a few of the more suspicious ones." "Give them the once-over, make sure they ain't holding out on us." "Focus, David." "Go downstairs, talk to the g.M." "Find out who worked the late shift last night." "Copy that." "You two talk to the family." "Everybody's painting Greg as perfect, no enemies." "Nobody lives like that," "Especially not in the business he's in." "I have some bad news." "The thing that's killing me now..." "Is what it means for the city." "Greg... he would've done anything for Memphis." "Councilman, was Greg having trouble with anyone at work?" "I mean, there are a lot of hotheads in politics, right?" "Fellas, people in the political field" "Spend most of their time working on misdirection," "Trying to look as clean as possible when they're not." "Greg was the real thing." "He was all heart, and everybody loved him for it." "He's one of those guys who actually would've" "Made a difference down the line, and we all knew it." "What about in his personal life?" "Working together so close, you see any problems there?" "He and Hilary are madly in love." "He has a great friend in Colin," "Good friends from Vanderbilt." "Every Sunday, they'd come 'round," "And we'd all make a big family..." "Dinner." "Something else?" "Well, it's nothing, but it's all I got." "Greg and his dad had an argument" "The other night at rendezvous." "You know, I don't know what that was," "But Greg was pretty worked up." "Don would know more." "Thank you, councilman." "Yeah." "Two nights..." "oh, the rendezvous." "Yeah, sure." "He..." "sounds so petty now," "But Greg got up in the middle of dinner" "To take a phone call." "It's a family rule..." "not allowed." "So I got cross." "It's not allowed, so why'd Greg do it this time?" "Must've been important, 'cause when he saw who it was, he jumped up." "Did he tell y'all what it was about?" "I asked, 'cause I-I didn't like the worried look on his face." "But he just..." "he got very snippy with us." "And he wasn't quite the same through dessert." "We need to get that call log." "Oh, honey." "What if he never comes back?" "Psst, psst, psst, psst!" "Could excuse us just a minute, please?" "Hey, Sutton, you know chip, from the precinct?" "Lazy-eyed trustee, empties the garbage?" "Yeah." "He's facing charges on some kind of cellphone fraud." "See if he can't crack the password on Greg's phone." "Copy that." "But listen, y'all, there's been a series of thefts" "At this hotel last couple of months." "And get this... two weeks ago, guy walks up to his room," "Finds a hotel employee going through his suitcase." "Winds up with a broken nose." "Too dark to I.D. The perp," "So that guy could still be working here." "Somebody breaks into Greg's room," "Finds him drunk, all hell breaks loose." "Employees know the back way, security cams." "We need to find out who's behind these robberies." "So, you haven't seen anything out of the ordinary at all?" "You sure about that, hairnet?" "'cause you're in here every damn day, not doing nothing but loading." "All right, take a walk." "Those are some nice baubles, ma'am." "Qué?" "Your earrings." "Muy, uh, beautiful." "Manuel!" "Manuel!" "Translator's out sick." "Can't find one damn person around here who speaks Spanish." "Great." "And we don't speak a lick." "What the hell are we supposed to do, then?" "Uh, uh, n-not mine." "This not mine." "Uh, sorry." "No... no inglés." "These here, uh, diamond earrings..." "They were from Greg's room." "You... you were trying to steal these," "And he walked in on you, and you killed him." "Bang!" "They don't understand a word you're saying." "No." "Bruto." "Pendejo!" "Uh, nobody in room." "Nobody dead." "But there was a loud fight next door, seis veinte... 620." "Basketball..." "basketball play... player's room." "Um..." "We heard two men, loud." "You know what the fight was about?" "Cocaína." "The basketball player..." "They were screaming about cocaína." "We were in the room earlier..." "We took pictures on the camera" "To sell to el national enquirer." "Um..."big star con Las... con Las drogas"" "Is a scandal, lot of money." "Whoa." "That's some jumbo-size helping there, Colin." "So, Colin's doing coke like he's drinking water." "Plus, he lied to us about the last time he saw Greg." "And he didn't mention nothing about this big fight." "Hey, Dwight, chip cracked Greg's phone," "And there's something y'all got to hear." "Colin called him last night at 3:00 A.M." "Greg, you need to get it together, dawg!" "You hear me?" "!" "You need to listen up," "Or I swear to God, I'm gonna bash your head in!" "You made $8 million last year, Colin." "That's more than enough to hire somebody" "To disappear Greg's body out of this hotel" "And steal the security footage." "What?" "!" "Are you kidding me?" "!" "I had nothing to do with this!" "That rage comes quick, don't it?" "Look, Greg is my best friend." "I know I been doing too much of this stuff lately," "But you don't understand." "It's hard when we're in the off season." "Somebody in my position," "You get used to being pumped up all the time." "And then there's nothing." "It helps." "And that's what we were arguing about." "He wanted me to stop." "And he was right, and I will." "But I would never hurt him." "I'd throw myself in front of a bus for the guy, straight up." "Colin, we got you on the voicemail" "Saying you'd bash his head in." "And this girl that you said you spent "the whole night" with..." "That's a made-up cellphone number you gave us, and you know it." "Okay, look." "I went out after we got back from the club." "I met up with a buddy of mine I Score from." "I was there until the sun came up." "You can ask him if you want to." "What about the message?" "all right, look." "Last night, I found out there was another girl." "I was stunned." "Hilary is like a sister to me," "And Greg is already like a part of their family," "So maybe I wild out on his voicemail a little bit." "Greg is cheating on Hilary?" "This girl's calling him, wouldn't leave him alone," "Wanting to meet up with him the night of the man's wedding." "He said it was nothing," "Said it was just a girl he met at a work thing." "But I could tell she meant something." "Okay, so what's this girl's name?" "I don't know." "If he's telling the truth, girl's number's in Greg's phone." "Track her down, Hendricks." "Do you know how many little boys look up to you?" "Oh, my gosh, look." "Look, I-I have a card." "It's from California, and it's legal." "I have cramps really bad," "So I use marijuana for medical purposes." "Uh, l-listen, darling," "Last I checked, this here's Tennessee." "We ain't narcotics." "We're looking for Rachel Stein." "We want to talk to her about Greg Watson." "I don't know a Greg." "Rachel... she's out of town..." "For work." "She left late last night." "What's work?" "Well, she's a reporter for the Memphis voice." "She know Greg from the newspaper?" "I told you, I don't know a Greg." "But, look, I'm just Rachel's roommate." "We're not, like, close or anything." "If you should hear from her," "Could you ask her to give us a call?" "Yes, sir." "Thank you." "Thank you." "Think we got the wrong girl, Dwight?" "Rachel Stein called Greg four times last night," "Seven times last week." "She's the one." "Phone went straight to voicemail again." "What if Rachel wasn't Greg's girl on the side?" "What if it was a business thing?" ""r." "Stein."" "Don't be discreet or nothing, there, cowboy." "Business why she wanted to meet him at 2:30 A.M." "The night before his wedding?" "He's in politics." "She's a journalist." "He could be a source." "Makes more sense with Greg being the type" "Didn't even get a lap dance at his bachelor party." ""city hall," "planning and zoning"..." "These are her work notks." "This one's got notes from this week," "And it's got a "g." "W."" ""g." "W."... that's, uh, "Greg Watson."" "What else you got?" "Well, it's got missing pages." "Must've tore them out." "You got a pencil?" "Yeah." "Ah, old school." "Nice." "There another "g." "W." here with a line over to..." "What is it?" "..." ""green street."" ""green street port."" "That mean anything?" "Then there's - what is that?" ""kidnap" or "kickbox"?" "Okay, okay, here it is." "Green street port complex." "It's a..." "it's a big mall" "They've been trying to build out by the River," "But the city keeps blocking it." "What's Greg got to do with a mall?" ""kickbacks." says "kickbacks."" "I'll bet Greg was told Orland's office would get kickbacks" "If he helped them push the green street port through." "But Greg, being an ethical guy," "He reached out to Rachel to tell her." "I bet that's why she wanted to meet with him about it last night." "That's why she was calling." "That's big business Greg's messing with." "Miss Stein, this is, uh, Detective Dwight Hendricks" "From the Memphis police department calling you again." "I need to speak with you immediately." "Thank you." "Paula Ann?" "What?" "What's going on with you?" "Oh." "Well..." "You know, Tony made me an offer I couldn't refuse." "The way you're abusing that machine," "I don't know whether to congratulate you or console you." "Oh, Tanya." "I'm a little worked up, I guess." "Well, you are gonna be married." "Well, it's only been two days," "And Tony is looking at me all of a sudden" "With his baby-bird face," "Like he's foreseeing this life of domestic comforts." "And I just..." "I feel like I'm too old to be somebody's wife." "You're scared it's gonna be like the first time, huh?" "Honey, I wouldn't NT to repeat that again, either." "Listen, what you need to do is make Tony your second wife." "what?" "My wife?" "When men get married the second time," "It's always somebody hot, young, with lots of fun hobbies." "It keeps their blood pumping." "well, that sounds good, 'cause I'll tell you," "Laundering socks, all that mess," "That will take me to an early grave, that's for sure." "Oh, no, you need to tell him," ""this ain't your mama's marriage, Tony." ""no sandwich-making, no ironing," ""separate bank accounts," "And, mister, you got to bring the sex."" "I like this." "No sandwiches." ""make me a damn sandwich!"" "and he needs to hang on to those looks," "Keep them intact..." "no beer bellies up in here." "Oh, yeah, probably thinks he can let that slide" "Soon as that ring's on." "Mm-hmm." "No, sirree." "If I marry a hunk, I want a hunk." "No switcheroo." ""make me a damn sandwich!"" "Councilman Orland, were you aware" "That Greg was approached about the green street port project" "And asked to try to influence you?" "No." "Absolutely not." "That happened?" "Yes, sir." "What about this guy, Chester Bayonne," "The developer behind this project..." "What do you know about him?" "Oh, I don't like where you're going with this." "That guy and a lot of guys like him..." "They flock to Memphis" "Thinking that there's still some opportunity here" "For manipulation and corruption." "Damn it!" "If they so much as touched one hair on Greg's head," "So help me, I..." "I'm sorry." "If there's anything that I or my office can help you with," "You just let me know." "Chester Bayonne's under investigation in Arkansas" "For bribery and tax evasion." "He's already put $5 million of his own money" "Into developing green street port," "And when it's done, it's gonna be worth $300 million." "Getting in between a rich man and his millions..." "That ain't good." "Yeah, and guess what, Dwight." "He's right there." "Chester Bayonne eats dinner here every night of the week." "Rachel Stein's boyfriend just came in to the precinct." "She never made it to Chicago." "In fact, she never got on the plane." "He hasn't heard from her since last night at 9:00." "I don't remember extending any invitations to dinner." "Well, the beauty of being a police Detective is" "You got an invitation to this entire city," "Anytime you want." "Mr. Bayonne, you approached a young man" "By the name of Greg Watson" "About pushing your mall project through." "Right." "Oh, you remember that?" "Of course..." "I needed the city council's support" "To make green street successful." "Why wouldn't I be in contact with someone like Greg?" "And were you aware" "That he considered your communication inappropriate?" "If he did, he was mistaken." "Oh, really?" "'cause I'd say offering a cash rebate for political efforts" "Is inappropriate." "right through the front door, huh?" "I like your style." "Well, Greg Watson's got an overactive imagination." ""had." he's dead, asshole." "Pardon me, ma'am." "Killed last night" "At the same time that he was gonna meet a reporter" "To talk about your corrupt ass." "Right." "But the meeting never happened, so why should I care?" "You know about the meeting?" "How?" "Maybe you know about Rachel Stein," "Where she might be." "Listen, y'all." "I've lived in a lot of States," "And I've rubbed elbows with a lot of people like you." "And you should know," "This conversation is an exercise in futility." "Well, you should know, Chester," "That things work different around here." "Here you go." "Hey!" "That was my damn latte!" "Pissant!" "Rookie beat cop." "Could somebody get her another cup of coffee, please?" "It's good to see you, birdie." "Been too long." "I thought you two rookies were gonna blow my damn case." "Lieutenant, this here is, uh, sergeant birdie Thorpe," "Undercover at the 14th." "When I was walking beat, she was my supe." "Rice is our new lieutenant." "Hey." "It is nice to meet you." "They don't make lieutenants like this 'round the 14th." "Damn, girl." "You work out?" "excuse me." "Stand up." "First of all, thank you." "Second of all, you are speaking to a superior." "Now, I do not know how old you are," "But you are way too old to be ignorant" "About sexual harassment in the workplace." "You think women marched and went on hunger strikes and died" "So that you could have the freedom to be ridiculous?" "Hmm?" "They did not." "Dwight, what's she doing here?" "Well, uh, birdie was just telling us," "She's been building a case on Chester Bayonne" "For the last eight months." "Carry on, then, Thorpe." "The guy's running heroin as an offshoot to his construction business," "Addition to a hundred other Shady trades." "But I ain't heard nothing about him offing this Greg Watson kid." "If Chester was gonna hide a body, where would he do it?" "Too many options." "Don't try." "But you know what?" "Here's something." "He arranged a last-minute meeting" "With this guy Ric Stanislav..." "It was really random..." "for tomorrow morning." "He related to your thing?" "No." "Stanislav..." "w-why's that familiar?" "Russian." "If it's the same guy," "We liked him in the Carter murder-for-hire" "In Germantown two years ago." "Green port construction site, 6:00 A.M. Tomorrow." "Don't screw up my thing, jerk-offs." "Lieutenant." "Oh, for goodness' sakes, Thorpe." "crap!" "Hey, where's the coffee?" "all right, here we go." " Stanislav." " Bayonne." "Turn it up, nut brain." "I can barely hear it." "Sorry!" "They're flexible, right?" "Bendy?" "Of course." "It's in their genes." "All right, and they come with leotards" "And choreography and whatnot?" "I told you..." "like cirque Du Soleil, but Ukraine." "You make the tent." "You get the girls." "All right." "You get half now, half when the show opens." "What the hell?" "This whole meeting's about a circus?" "Cirque Du Soleil is so much more than a circus, y'all." "They're leaving." "Get down, get down." "Get down!" "We gonna follow them?" "What's that car?" "Was that there the whole time?" "Think so." "So what?" "Y'all think just 'cause there's an abandoned car" "On a construction site" "That maybe there's something in it?" "My God." "Wonder how long it's been there, baking in the heat." "Greg." "Rachel Stein." "Something weird here." "Look at the position he's in." "Bullet through the head, execution style," "But look at the way he's holding his side." "There's no wound there," "So why'd he die in this position?" "Fifth pocket..." "That's where I kept my diary key as a kid." "I got a feeling this is something more important than that." "Take such ins known hide this thing...." "Looks like a bank statement." "Whose is it?" "Green street port llc..." "That's Chester Bayonne's company." "So, Greg had concrete evidence against Chester." "500k transferred to HLO corp." "What is that?" "HLO corp, bank of Nassau, Bahamas." "Bona fide offshore account." "HLO." "When was the payment made?" "August 10th." "Isn't that the day after the green street permit" "Passed the city council?" "That's your kickback." "Question is, to whom?" "HLO." "HLO." "HLO." "Hilary Lorraine Orland." "Councilman's beloved daughter." "I got two dead bodies" "At a construction site for a development that wired" "Half a million dollars to your offshore account." "I got bank records." "I'm gonna break Chester Bayonne," "And he's gonna turn on you faster than a racehorse." "You want to save yourself, you better get the first word in." "You realize what this is gonna do to Memphis?" "One of the city's most trusted men..." "Not only a damn sellout, but he's a murderer." "You sound ridiculous, Hendricks." "I didn't murder anyone." "I'm not a criminal." "No, you're a politician." "Yes, I am." "And I understand things about this city" "That you're too scared to face, young man." "That's good." "Don't tell me how Memphis will feel." "I know the pulse of this town keener than you ever will." "You're like an infant criticizing how a war is fought." "You got no clue." "Everyone who's ever made any kind of history in this town" "Has sacrificed their principles briefly" "For a little bit of comfort." "Because dealing with this city," "Sometimes you need a little bit of comfort." "It's the Memphis story." "Can your wife back your alibi" "That she was with you the night Greg and Rachel were killed?" "Yes, she can..." "11:00 P.M., 7:00 A.M.," "When we met Hilary for an early breakfast," "Before she heard that message and..." "Everything changed." "Where'd you get those cuff links?" "Hilary gave them to me." "When'd she give them to you?" "Why?" "Councilman, when did Hilary give you those cuff links?" "Breakfast... the same breakfast that I told you..." "Is there anything new?" "Any news?" "Something's troubling me, Hilary." "You gave your father those cuff links meant for Greg," "Even before you knew he was missing." "Well, I changed my mind about them." "I realized they weren't really Greg's style." "Why?" "W-what exactly are you implying?" "We found Greg's phone in his room around 2:00." "Now, the problem is, the room was robbed before that." "And if the phone was there, the thieves would've taken it." "Okay." "But I wish you'd just stop and tell me what it is you're implying." "I ain't implying." "I'm saying." "After Greg was shot, you took his phone," "Called yourself, and left that creepy message." "And you used it to lure Rachel Stein to the construction site." "Then you knew you could drop it all in Chester's lap," "Him being the slimy bastard that he is." "We're gonna ping the guy who pulled the trigger for you," "Stole those security tapes, cleaned up this whole mess." "And he's gonna give you up fast as he can." "You're gonna go to jail for this, Hilary." "Please." "Please, just listen to me." "I loved Greg, and I know he loved my father," "But this city..." "this amazing, complicated city" "That needs our protection..." "This city cannot bear to know certain truths about him." "And for decades, he made their dreams," "The simple rewards for their lives and survival possible." "And after all that..." "All he wanted was a small reward for his work." "Maybe it wasn't right," "But it was human, wasn't it?" "You're right." "What your father did was human." "But I got to wonder," "How human is it to murder somebody you love?" "I didn't murder Greg." "No, you didn't, but you sure as hell paid somebody to do it for you." "Greg refused to understand." "He thought I'd stand with him as he exposed this corruption." "But I tried to tell him, as I'm telling you now," "There is something more Noble than the truth," "And that is the innocence of the people," "The constituents." "You know, it's not just my father." "It's generations of my family" "Who have worked tirelessly on behalf of the people," "And to have their name and my name" "And my children's name turn to mud..." "I couldn't." "I would not let him do that." "But now you've done it, Hilary." "This is preposterous!" "These charges are never gonna stick!"
