middle of the night.
181
00:07:51,862 --> 00:07:53,124
It was a double homicide?
182
00:07:53,211 --> 00:07:55,387
His own two boys.
183
00:07:55,475 --> 00:07:57,912
Drunk bastard had
custody for the weekend.
184
00:07:59,566 --> 00:08:01,959
[dog barking]
185
00:08:02,046 --> 00:08:04,135
Looks like
a bomb went off.
186
00:08:04,222 --> 00:08:05,833
Flashover.
187
00:08:05,920 --> 00:08:09,010
Simultaneous ignition
of all combustible material.
188
00:08:09,097 --> 00:08:10,272
Flashover.
189
00:08:10,359 --> 00:08:12,448
Smoke and gas layer
190
00:08:12,535 --> 00:08:14,058
got trapped at the ceiling.
191
00:08:16,017 --> 00:08:20,151
At 1,100 degrees, the
whole room burst into flames.
192
00:08:20,238 --> 00:08:22,197
Father said he was
asleep on the couch.
193
00:08:22,284 --> 00:08:23,459
Yeah, he
also said he couldn't get
194
00:08:23,546 --> 00:08:25,287
to the kids' room down the hall.
195
00:08:25,374 --> 00:08:26,854
Yeah, ran
into a wall of flame.
196
00:08:26,941 --> 00:08:29,987
With no burns on his bare feet?
197
00:08:30,074 --> 00:08:31,511
Thought he
ran out the front door.
198
00:08:31,598 --> 00:08:34,731
Yeah, just let in more
oxygen, fed the beast.
199
00:08:34,818 --> 00:08:36,428
Did you see the
crazed glass back there?
200
00:08:36,516 --> 00:08:38,126
Puddle configurations?
201
00:08:38,213 --> 00:08:39,823
Multiple points of origin.
202
00:08:39,910 --> 00:08:42,043
Burn marks on the
baseboards and walls.
203
00:08:42,130 --> 00:08:44,306
Yeah, all
the way down the hall.
204
00:08:44,393 --> 00:08:46,090
Seen hundreds of these.
205
00:08:46,177 --> 00:08:47,831
[Ray]
'Most of them do it
for the insurance.'
206
00:08:47,918 --> 00:08:51,052
- No. This place was a rental.
- 'Whatever.'
207
00:08:51,139 --> 00:08:52,619
Fire this
hot don't occur without
208
00:08:52,706 --> 00:08:55,317
the use of an accelerant.
209
00:08:55,404 --> 00:08:57,058
What, lighter fluid?
210
00:08:57,145 --> 00:08:59,930
Butane, propane,
maybe gasoline.
211
00:09:00,017 --> 00:09:01,889
Same result.
212
00:09:01,976 --> 00:09:05,196
[Ray]
'Got your pour patterns
on the floor right there.'
213
00:09:07,677 --> 00:09:08,939
Under the beds.
214
00:09:10,550 --> 00:09:13,422
Son of a bitch
burned his own kids up.
215
00:09:13,509 --> 00:09:15,555
Then ran out of the house.
216
00:09:17,426 --> 00:09:20,516
Three and five, those boys.
217
00:09:20,603 --> 00:09:22,170
That one just about
tore everybody up.
218
00:09:22,257 --> 00:09:23,693
Including Nick?
219
00:09:23,780 --> 00:09:25,652
Nick was going
through a divorce at the time.
220
00:09:25,739 --> 00:09:27,305
Rubbed him pretty raw.
221
00:09:27,392 --> 00:09:30,787
Sick bastard killed
his kids just to spite his ex.
222
00:09:30,874 --> 00:09:31,962
Nick put him away?
223
00:09:32,049 --> 00:09:33,311
Billingsley got life.
224
00:09:33,398 --> 00:09:35,270
He's lucky he
didn't get the needle.
225
00:09:35,357 --> 00:09:37,707
He didn't have the
decency to take his own life.
226
00:09:37,794 --> 00:09:40,318
Any reason Nick would
be looking into that case again?
227
00:09:40,405 --> 00:09:42,233
Never said nothing to me.
228
00:09:42,320 --> 00:09:44,235
[Scotty]
You remember
if this Joe Don had a brother?
229
00:09:44,322 --> 00:09:45,454
Maybe at the trial?
230
00:09:45,541 --> 00:09:46,760
I'm sorry, I don't.
231
00:09:46,847 --> 00:09:48,457
Is everything okay?
232
00:09:48,544 --> 00:09:49,937
[Lilly]
'Well, you hear from him, Ray'
233
00:09:50,024 --> 00:09:51,373
let us know.
234
00:09:56,508 --> 00:09:58,815
[Kat]
Joe Don Billingsley,
convicted in '08.
235
00:09:58,902 --> 00:10:01,122
Arson, double homicide.
236
00:10:01,209 --> 00:10:02,863
Doing life up in Rockford.
237
00:10:02,950 --> 00:10:05,387
Was. Till he caught a
shiv last week in the yard.
238
00:10:05,474 --> 00:10:07,781
Bled out.
Old Joe Don's gone.
239
00:10:07,868 --> 00:10:10,044
Could be the guy
Nick meant, got killed?
240
00:10:10,131 --> 00:10:11,480
A loudmouth
at the bar blamed Nick
241
00:10:11,567 --> 00:10:12,742
for his brother's death.
242
00:10:12,829 --> 00:10:14,135
[Will]
'Younger brother, Travis.'
243
00:10:14,222 --> 00:10:16,485
Popped twice for
DUI, resisting arrest.
244
00:10:16,572 --> 00:10:18,443
Well, now he's stalking Nick.
245
00:10:18,530 --> 00:10:20,576
He was fired
from his last job at Costco.
246
00:10:20,663 --> 00:10:22,534
We're trying to track
down a new work address.
247
00:10:22,622 --> 00:10:24,232
[Scotty]
Travis.
248
00:10:24,319 --> 00:10:25,755
Looks dumb enough
to go after a cop.
249
00:10:38,681 --> 00:10:40,640
Morning, Lieutenant.
250
00:10:40,727 --> 00:10:42,424
Something wrong
with the air upstairs, Pat?
251
00:10:42,511 --> 00:10:45,166
You know where
Detective Vera is, John?
252
00:10:47,168 --> 00:10:48,212
I guess I'm about to find out.
253
00:10:48,299 --> 00:10:50,171
Don't jerk me around.
254
00:10:50,258 --> 00:10:52,173
I know all about
the abandoned department vehicle
255
00:10:52,260 --> 00:10:53,522
[Pat]
'out on Conshohocken Road.'
256
00:10:53,609 --> 00:10:54,566
Okay.
257
00:10:54,654 --> 00:10:56,090
I also know that one of your
258
00:10:56,177 --> 00:10:58,179
detectives had it
towed to a private garage.
259
00:10:58,266 --> 00:10:59,441
One of my detectives?
260
00:10:59,528 --> 00:11:01,051
[Pat]
'Can't say I blame them.'
261
00:11:01,138 --> 00:11:03,010
Damaged vehicle,
reeking of Kentucky sour mash.
262
00:11:03,097 --> 00:11:04,141
Alright, get to it, Pat.
263
00:11:04,228 --> 00:11:05,360
That's a $35,000 vehicle
264
00:11:05,447 --> 00:11:06,970
that belongs to the department.
265
00:11:07,057 --> 00:11:08,450
[Pat]
'And I would like
to get it back'
266
00:11:08,537 --> 00:11:10,800
before the
commissioner gets wind of this.
267
00:11:10,887 --> 00:11:12,149
Good as new.
268
00:11:14,412 --> 00:11:15,979
I'll get right on it.
269
00:11:16,066 --> 00:11:17,807
As for Detective Vera,
I would suggest
270
00:11:17,894 --> 00:11:19,113
you find out where he is
271
00:11:19,200 --> 00:11:20,897
and just what
the hell is going on
272
00:11:20,984 --> 00:11:22,420
before the end
of the working day.
273
00:11:22,507 --> 00:11:24,553
Oh, I'll get
to the bottom of it.
274
00:11:30,167 --> 00:11:31,691
Put your house in order, John
275
00:11:31,778 --> 00:11:33,823
or I'll do it for you.
276
00:11:39,829 --> 00:11:42,005
[Scotty]
Travis Billingsley.
277
00:11:42,092 --> 00:11:44,573
Detective Valens and Rush.
278
00:11:44,660 --> 00:11:45,835
That supposed
to impress me?
279
00:11:45,922 --> 00:11:47,315
Supposed to jog your memory.
280
00:11:47,402 --> 00:11:49,970
Last time you saw
Detective Nick Vera.
281
00:11:50,057 --> 00:11:51,319
Why? Something happened to him?
282
00:11:51,406 --> 00:11:52,363
Asked you a question, pal.
283
00:11:52,450 --> 00:11:53,887
How you know Detective Vera?
284
00:11:53,974 --> 00:11:55,366
Oh, so now
I'm supposed to help the police?
285
00:11:57,629 --> 00:11:59,806
How's that
for an impression, jackass?
286
00:11:59,893 --> 00:12:01,416
In case
you need my badge number.
287
00:12:01,503 --> 00:12:03,157
[Lilly]
This ain't a
courtesy call, Travis.
288
00:12:03,244 --> 00:12:06,290
You got into a bar fight
with Detective Vera last week.
289
00:12:06,377 --> 00:12:07,944
That wasn't a fight.
290
00:12:08,031 --> 00:12:09,293
Just tracked him down
to let him know what he did.
291
00:12:09,380 --> 00:12:10,338
Yeah, what'd he do?
292
00:12:10,425 --> 00:12:11,339
He put my brother away.
293
00:12:11,426 --> 00:12:12,775
Got him killed.
294
00:12:12,862 --> 00:12:14,385
Yeah, real sorry
they don't look kindly
295
00:12:14,472 --> 00:12:16,213
on scumbags who burn up
their own kids in prison.
296
00:12:16,300 --> 00:12:17,693
My brother wasn't a monster.
297
00:12:17,780 --> 00:12:19,129
Joe Don didn't do it.
298
00:12:19,216 --> 00:12:21,566
Right, buddy.
Nobody in jail did it, right?
299
00:12:21,653 --> 00:12:23,046
I had proof.
300
00:12:23,133 --> 00:12:24,439
I tried for months
to get Detective Vera
301
00:12:24,526 --> 00:12:25,832
to take another
look at the case
302
00:12:25,919 --> 00:12:27,268
but he wouldn't listen.
303
00:12:27,355 --> 00:12:28,791
[Pink Floyd
singing, "Hey You"]
304
00:12:28,878 --> 00:12:32,403
Detective, Detective Vera,
can I talk to you?
305
00:12:32,490 --> 00:12:33,709
It's about my brother.
306
00:12:33,796 --> 00:12:35,189
What's the name, buddy?
307
00:12:35,276 --> 00:12:38,453
- Travis Billingsley.
- Billingsley?
308
00:12:38,540 --> 00:12:40,672
[Travis]
'Called five times
about my brother, Joe Don.'
309
00:12:40,760 --> 00:12:43,545
He's doing
life up in Rockford for arson.
310
00:12:43,632 --> 00:12:44,589
Yeah, 'course. I remember.
311
00:12:44,676 --> 00:12:45,721
I just need you to hear me out
312
00:12:45,808 --> 00:12:47,375
'cause the DA won't and that
313
00:12:47,462 --> 00:12:48,855
court-appointed lawyer my
brother had was a joke--
314
00:12:48,942 --> 00:12:50,465
Well, it's a little late, pal.
315
00:12:50,552 --> 00:12:52,989
- He confessed.
- That's not true.
316
00:12:53,076 --> 00:12:54,817
Yeah. Check
the trial transcripts.
317
00:12:54,904 --> 00:12:55,905
He admitted he did it when he
318
00:12:55,992 --> 00:12:58,212
was in lockup awaiting trial.
319
00:12:58,299 --> 00:12:59,866
- Game over.
- 'That's just it, he didn't.'
320
00:12:59,953 --> 00:13:02,216
Check out the record
on that cellblock snitch.
321
00:13:02,303 --> 00:13:05,088
Inmate the DA put
on the stand was a liar.
322
00:13:05,175 --> 00:13:06,742
My brother would never
admit to setting that fire
323
00:13:06,829 --> 00:13:08,657
'cause he didn't do it.
324
00:13:08,744 --> 00:13:11,094
Everybody's innocent
in the can.
325
00:13:11,181 --> 00:13:14,010
But he never confessed
to you, did he, detective?
326
00:13:16,360 --> 00:13:18,710
Just asking you to take a look.
327
00:13:18,798 --> 00:13:20,147
Yeah, sure.
328
00:13:20,234 --> 00:13:22,236
I'll take a look.
329
00:13:26,240 --> 00:13:28,764
He didn't give a rat's ass.
330
00:13:28,851 --> 00:13:31,767
That cellblock snitch has
given false testimony before.
331
00:13:31,854 --> 00:13:33,813
Cody Blanchard lied when he
said my brother confessed.
332
00:13:33,900 --> 00:13:35,205
How do you know?
333
00:13:35,292 --> 00:13:36,685
'Cause he done it
three times before.
334
00:13:36,772 --> 00:13:37,817
That's how come
they kept letting him out.
335
00:13:37,904 --> 00:13:39,688
So, he's a serial snitch.
336
00:13:39,775 --> 00:13:40,994
That don't mean he lied.
337
00:13:41,081 --> 00:13:42,952
Another guy
he did it to got freed
338
00:13:43,039 --> 00:13:44,780
after he
recanted his testimony.
339
00:13:44,867 --> 00:13:47,130
That the only reason
you tracked Nick down?
340
00:13:47,217 --> 00:13:48,479
Let him know that?
341
00:13:48,566 --> 00:13:49,741
Wouldn't you?
342
00:13:51,091 --> 00:13:54,137
Lying SOB snitch
sealed my brother's fate
343
00:13:54,224 --> 00:13:55,356
and got rewarded for it.
344
00:13:57,401 --> 00:13:59,839
And now it's too late.
345
00:14:02,493 --> 00:14:03,451
[Kat]
'Called Frackville.'
346
00:14:03,538 --> 00:14:05,105
Found out Nick went to visit
347
00:14:05,192 --> 00:14:07,542
Billingsley's old cellblock
snitch a few days ago.
348
00:14:07,629 --> 00:14:09,196
Already landed back
in the can?
349
00:14:09,283 --> 00:14:10,371
Thieving drug fiend.
350
00:14:10,458 --> 00:14:12,590
Old habits die hard.
351
00:14:12,677 --> 00:14:14,331
[John]
'Anybody here seen Nick?'
352
00:14:17,204 --> 00:14:18,858
Not yet, boss.
353
00:14:18,945 --> 00:14:20,424
Don't know.
He's got plenty of time.
354
00:14:20,511 --> 00:14:21,991
Maybe he
took a sick day.
355
00:14:22,078 --> 00:14:24,559
So that's how we're
gonna play this, huh?
356
00:14:24,646 --> 00:14:26,343
- What's that, boss?
- 'Oh, cut the BS.'
357
00:14:26,430 --> 00:14:28,171
I know that Nick is
missing, along with his car.

already blown upstairs.'

you want to protect Nick'

all of you might want to start
thinking about your own badges.
361
00:14:36,223 --> 00:14:37,920
Look, we
got no idea where Nick went
362
00:14:38,007 --> 00:14:39,269
[Kat]
'but we're on it.'
363
00:14:39,356 --> 00:14:41,402
[muttering]
Alright, look.
364
00:14:41,489 --> 00:14:43,143
Think it's got
something to do with a guy
365
00:14:43,230 --> 00:14:46,059
Nick put away on an arson case
four years ago.
366
00:14:46,146 --> 00:14:47,321
Got killed
in prison last week.
367
00:14:47,408 --> 00:14:48,583
[John]
'Billingsley.'
368
00:14:48,670 --> 00:14:49,627
What does
this got to do with
369
00:14:49,714 --> 00:14:51,281
Nick cracking up his car?
370
00:14:51,368 --> 00:14:52,674
Don't know, but it's
the last case he was working on.
371
00:14:52,761 --> 00:14:54,023
That's it?
372
00:14:56,199 --> 00:14:58,593
[John]
Is there anything else I
need to get in front of here?
373
00:15:02,858 --> 00:15:04,077
Nick's in bad shape, boss.
374
00:15:04,164 --> 00:15:05,730
Something I don't know, Kat.
375
00:15:05,817 --> 00:15:07,689
It's not physical, John.
376
00:15:07,776 --> 00:15:09,996
His head's not right.
We're worried about him.
377
00:15:13,129 --> 00:15:14,609
Alright, talk to ADA Bell.
378
00:15:14,696 --> 00:15:16,350
See what he knows about
the Billingsley case.
379
00:15:16,437 --> 00:15:17,568
Rush and Valens
went to pay Billingsley's
380
00:15:17,655 --> 00:15:18,874

They're trying to track down
382
00:15:19,962 --> 00:15:21,790
his ex, see if he talked to her.
383
00:15:21,877 --> 00:15:23,400
I'll reach out
to Boyle over in Feds.
384
00:15:23,487 --> 00:15:25,315
See if we can get
a location on his cell phone.
385
00:15:25,402 --> 00:15:27,578
- We'll find him, boss.
- We'd better..
386
00:15:27,665 --> 00:15:29,667
Before he does
any more harm.
387
00:15:29,754 --> 00:15:32,540
Especially to himself.

'Hey, Julie.'
389
00:15:36,457 --> 00:15:37,849
What's going on?
390
00:15:37,937 --> 00:15:39,242
Is this about Nick?
391
00:15:39,329 --> 00:15:41,244
Have you seen him?
392
00:15:41,331 --> 00:15:42,724
He stopped by this morning.
393
00:15:42,811 --> 00:15:44,421
He didn't look
so good. Is he okay?
394
00:15:44,508 --> 00:15:45,727
Just showed up at your door?
395
00:15:45,814 --> 00:15:47,120
Really kind of threw me.
396
00:15:47,207 --> 00:15:49,209
I-I hadn't seen him
since the divorce
397
00:15:49,296 --> 00:15:51,646
and we never really
talked after that.
398
00:15:51,733 --> 00:15:53,387
- What'd he want?
- I don't know.
399
00:15:53,474 --> 00:15:55,606
But it looked like he
had something on his mind.
400
00:15:55,693 --> 00:15:57,260
I was trying
to get my kids ready.

Nick.
404
00:16:05,573 --> 00:16:07,140
Uh..
405
00:16:07,227 --> 00:16:09,011
Thanks. If only
I had time to read it.
406
00:16:09,098 --> 00:16:12,058
What are you doing here?
407
00:16:12,145 --> 00:16:15,626
I don't know. Uh..
408
00:16:15,713 --> 00:16:18,368
Just felt like I
needed to see you.
409
00:16:18,455 --> 00:16:19,674
How've you been doing?
410
00:16:19,761 --> 00:16:22,111

No. Uh, sorry.
414
00:16:27,464 --> 00:16:28,683
You're right.
415
00:16:28,770 --> 00:16:32,556

getting my son ready for school.

I know you got remarried. I..

started preschool.

a two-year-old daughter.

can't find my other shoe.

Can you hold on one second?
I'll be right back.
426

can talk for a minute.

Figured it
must be important, but..
433
00:17:13,423 --> 00:17:14,772
Didn't say
where he was headed?
434
00:17:14,859 --> 00:17:17,253
Never got that far.
435
00:17:17,340 --> 00:17:19,081
It looked like
he'd been up all night
436
00:17:19,168 --> 00:17:20,691
like he was working a case.
437
00:17:22,737 --> 00:17:24,347
Is he okay?
438
00:17:24,434 --> 00:17:26,306
We don't know,
but if you hear from him again

You guys don't talk?

Was it about
the Billingsley case?

Billingsley.
Man, that's ancient history.
462
00:18:14,310 --> 00:18:15,746
Yeah. So was Joe Don.

Caught a shiv
up in Rockford last week.
464
00:18:17,531 --> 00:18:19,359
Yeah, I heard about
that from your partner.

Hard row to hoe for a baby
killer inside these walls.
466

So, what did Detective Vera
want to know about Joe Don?

Oh, man, I mean,
what is it with this case?
468
00:18:26,757 --> 00:18:27,932
I already testified to the DA.
469
00:18:28,019 --> 00:18:29,369
Ain't the
question we asked you.
470
00:18:31,545 --> 00:18:33,634
Aah!
471
00:18:33,721 --> 00:18:35,549

about you. Detective Vera!

00:18:44,558 --> 00:18:46,647
- Why'd he come talk to you?
- No disrespect, Detective.

It don't have
to be like this, okay?

ball with your guy

but he just
took it the wrong way.
480
00:18:53,523 --> 00:18:55,438
You testified that Joe
Don told you he did it.
481
00:18:55,525 --> 00:18:57,092
- Burned his house down.
- That's right.
482
00:18:57,179 --> 00:18:59,529
That what I told the DA,
detective, on the record.
483
00:18:59,616 --> 00:19:01,227
While he was awaiting
trial in county lockup.
484
00:19:01,314 --> 00:19:02,358
Damn right.
485
00:19:02,445 --> 00:19:03,446
He said that if he couldn't
486
00:19:03,533 --> 00:19:04,752
have custody of them kids
487
00:19:04,839 --> 00:19:06,275
then that bitch
couldn't, either.
488
00:19:06,362 --> 00:19:08,538
And that's why
he set that house on fire.
489
00:19:08,625 --> 00:19:10,018
Joe Don said this
to you even though
490
00:19:10,105 --> 00:19:11,672
he never confessed
to me or anybody else?
491
00:19:11,759 --> 00:19:13,891
We were on the same
cellblock, detective.
492
00:19:13,978 --> 00:19:16,024
Yeah, but he
didn't have a cellmate.
493
00:19:16,111 --> 00:19:18,940
When exactly did he
tell you he did it?
494
00:19:19,027 --> 00:19:20,942
When I was
walking by his cell.
495
00:19:21,029 --> 00:19:21,986
What, through the food slot?
496
00:19:22,073 --> 00:19:23,597
Yeah, that's right.
497
00:19:23,684 --> 00:19:26,513
He said he lit
that bitch up with gasoline.
498
00:19:28,036 --> 00:19:29,907
- Uh-huh.
- Mm.
499
00:19:29,994 --> 00:19:32,171
He said because he wanted
custody of those kids, right?
500
00:19:32,258 --> 00:19:33,346
- That's what he said.
- Both of them?
501
00:19:33,433 --> 00:19:34,608
The boy and the girl?
502
00:19:34,695 --> 00:19:35,652
Yeah, that's
right, both of them.
503
00:19:35,739 --> 00:19:37,306

Joe Don
didn't have a little girl.
507
00:19:44,444 --> 00:19:45,967
He just had two boys.
508

Look, man!
509
00:19:47,142 --> 00:19:48,448
I just told that DA, detective
510
00:19:48,535 --> 00:19:49,753
what he wanted to hear
511
00:19:49,840 --> 00:19:51,668
just like I'm telling you.
512
00:19:51,755 --> 00:19:53,453
What's that?
513
00:19:53,540 --> 00:19:55,716
[Cody]
What do you want me
to say? He did it?
514
00:19:55,803 --> 00:19:56,847
Then he did it.
515
00:19:56,934 --> 00:19:58,153
Whatever you want me to say.
516
00:19:58,240 --> 00:19:59,198
You just give
me the right information
517
00:19:59,285 --> 00:20:00,590
before I take the stand
518
00:20:00,677 --> 00:20:03,506
and I'll say
it right, don't you worry.
519
00:20:03,593 --> 00:20:06,205
A man is dead
because of your lying ass.
520
00:20:07,728 --> 00:20:09,599
Because of me?
521
00:20:09,686 --> 00:20:11,862
I thought it was you
who put him in here.

'Hey! Hey!'
523
00:20:14,082 --> 00:20:16,171
I don't get it.
I played the game.
524
00:20:16,258 --> 00:20:18,782
I fed you and the DA
what you need and-and-and
525
00:20:18,869 --> 00:20:19,870
this, this is the thanks I get?
526
00:20:19,957 --> 00:20:21,263
Yeah, the thanks.
527
00:20:21,350 --> 00:20:22,308
Well, that cop
had a screw loose, no?
528
00:20:22,395 --> 00:20:24,005
The truth is, Joe Don didn't say
529
00:20:24,092 --> 00:20:26,268
any of that BS to you
about offing his kids, right?
530
00:20:27,748 --> 00:20:29,489
Difference does it make?
531
00:20:29,576 --> 00:20:30,794
[Cody]
'I mean, if he didn't do that'
532
00:20:30,881 --> 00:20:32,666
then he
did something else, right?
533
00:20:33,884 --> 00:20:35,234
I mean, we all did it in here.
534
00:20:35,321 --> 00:20:36,496
[Lilly]
The difference is
535
00:20:36,583 --> 00:20:38,019
he's dead, Squirrel.
536
00:20:38,106 --> 00:20:40,021
Yeah, well,
I wasn't glad to hear
537
00:20:40,108 --> 00:20:43,807
that Joe Don got stuck, but,
uh, huh, that man was twisted.
538
00:20:43,894 --> 00:20:45,418
Oh, yeah.
And he was in denial, too.
539
00:20:45,505 --> 00:20:46,984
What are you talking about?
540
00:20:47,071 --> 00:20:50,466
Oh, he would cry
himself to sleep every night.
541
00:20:50,553 --> 00:20:52,338
Just crying about them kids.
542
00:20:52,425 --> 00:20:53,600
Yeah, then he would write
543
00:20:53,687 --> 00:20:57,038
letters to
some crackpot scientist.
544
00:20:57,125 --> 00:20:58,996
What scientist?
How do you know?
545
00:20:59,083 --> 00:21:00,694
A little C.O. bird told me.
546
00:21:00,781 --> 00:21:02,130
He's working on his appeal.
547
00:21:02,217 --> 00:21:04,872
You know, thought
he could get him out.
548
00:21:04,959 --> 00:21:06,526
What's a name worth to you?
549
00:21:06,613 --> 00:21:10,181
Worth keeping your acorns
out of a vice, Squirrel.
550
00:21:12,967 --> 00:21:15,404
This is Joe Don
Billingsley's old house.
551
00:21:15,491 --> 00:21:17,450
FBI tracks Nick's
phone to this location.
552
00:21:17,537 --> 00:21:19,539
Yeah. Why
would he come back here?
553
00:21:22,063 --> 00:21:23,586
Who you calling?
554
00:21:23,673 --> 00:21:25,022
Nick.
555
00:21:29,810 --> 00:21:31,594
[cell phone ringing in distance]
556
00:21:35,555 --> 00:21:36,947
[muffled ringing]
557
00:21:38,253 --> 00:21:40,951
[ringing grows louder]
558
00:21:41,038 --> 00:21:42,213
It's his.
559
00:21:46,914 --> 00:21:48,742
Last call an hour ago to me.
560
00:21:48,829 --> 00:21:50,221
Home phone.
561
00:21:50,309 --> 00:21:51,222
Why wouldn't he
just call your cell?
562
00:21:51,310 --> 00:21:54,400
[Will]
'I don't know.'
563
00:21:54,487 --> 00:21:56,793
[female #1]
'You have one unheard message.'
564
00:21:56,880 --> 00:21:58,404
[phone beeping]
Left a voicemail.
565
00:21:58,491 --> 00:22:00,536
[Nick over voicemail]
'Hey, man, uh, it's Nick.'
566
00:22:00,623 --> 00:22:03,539
'I just wanted
to tell you, uh, it's been'
567
00:22:03,626 --> 00:22:05,454
'great working with you.'
568
00:22:05,541 --> 00:22:07,587
[Nick]
'You've always been
a-a...a good friend to me.'
569
00:22:09,458 --> 00:22:10,894
'I think
I still owe you 50 bucks.'
570
00:22:10,981 --> 00:22:13,984
'Anyways, um...that's about it.'
571
00:22:15,159 --> 00:22:16,509
'Sorry about the whole mess.'
572
00:22:23,298 --> 00:22:25,169
[Scotty]
Hey, boss.
573
00:22:25,256 --> 00:22:28,390
Next time you two get the
instinct to protect me, don't.
574
00:22:29,565 --> 00:22:31,306
Where are we on Nick?
575
00:22:31,393 --> 00:22:33,656
[Scotty]
'Running down
a list of calls, messages'
576
00:22:33,743 --> 00:22:35,615
anyone who talked to Nick
in the past 24.
577
00:22:35,702 --> 00:22:37,268
[Lilly]
'Yeah, there was a
recent call on his cell'
578
00:22:37,356 --> 00:22:40,620
to Jeannette Peterson,
Billingsley's ex-wife.
579
00:22:40,707 --> 00:22:42,012
[Scotty]
'Miller and
Jeffries are headed over'
580
00:22:42,099 --> 00:22:43,100
to talk to her now.
581
00:22:43,187 --> 00:22:45,276
Also, calls to a Goran Petrovic
582
00:22:45,364 --> 00:22:46,539
a professor over at Temple.
583
00:22:46,626 --> 00:22:48,410
One yesterday
and one last week.
584
00:22:48,497 --> 00:22:50,499
[Scotty]Correspondence records at Rockford
585
00:22:50,586 --> 00:22:52,414
show Billingsley
wrote multiple letters
586
00:22:52,501 --> 00:22:54,024
[Scotty]
'to the same Dr. Petrovic.'
587
00:22:54,111 --> 00:22:56,026
- What kind of professor?
- Chemical engineering.
588
00:22:56,113 --> 00:22:57,724
Also worked for multiple
589
00:22:57,811 --> 00:23:00,857
companies that served
private military suppliers.
590
00:23:00,944 --> 00:23:02,424
Hit the campus.
Pay the doc a visit.
591
00:23:02,511 --> 00:23:03,599
You talk
to Criminal Intelligence?
592
00:23:03,686 --> 00:23:05,209
Oh, yeah, we got teams
593
00:23:05,296 --> 00:23:06,907
of plainclothes cops
trying to track him down.
594
00:23:06,994 --> 00:23:09,039
Alright, tell
them no paper trail.
595
00:23:09,126 --> 00:23:11,215
[Lilly]
I just said find him, bring
him in, no questions asked.
596
00:23:11,302 --> 00:23:13,130
Yeah, don't take "no"
for an answer from Nick.
597
00:23:13,217 --> 00:23:15,089
And, Scotty,
get that damn car back.
598
00:23:21,661 --> 00:23:23,358
[Goran]
'Used to design
all sorts of nasty'
599
00:23:23,445 --> 00:23:25,926
explosives with military applications.
600
00:23:26,013 --> 00:23:27,536
Lucrative, yes.
601
00:23:27,623 --> 00:23:29,408
But also insane.
602
00:23:29,495 --> 00:23:31,279
I prefer teaching.
603
00:23:31,366 --> 00:23:34,238
Detective Vera asked you to
review the JD Billingsley case?
604
00:23:34,325 --> 00:23:35,326
Given that he was
605
00:23:35,414 --> 00:23:36,893
the original investigator
606
00:23:36,980 --> 00:23:39,505
and seemed quite
desperate, yes, I took a look.
607
00:23:39,592 --> 00:23:41,855
Well, the fire marshal
determined that it was arson.
608
00:23:41,942 --> 00:23:44,161
Which frankly,
I found stunning.
609
00:23:44,248 --> 00:23:45,206
Though I shouldn't anymore.
610
00:23:45,293 --> 00:23:46,250
Why's that?
611
00:23:46,337 --> 00:23:47,991
Most fire marshals only have
612
00:23:48,078 --> 00:23:49,950
high school degree and certified
613
00:23:50,037 --> 00:23:52,953
after one 40-hour
course in fire investigation.
614
00:23:53,040 --> 00:23:54,433
[Lilly]
Ray Crawford's been on the job
615
00:23:54,520 --> 00:23:57,131
30 years, he's done
hundreds of arson cases.
616
00:23:57,218 --> 00:23:59,786
Instincts and
experience is no substitute
617
00:23:59,873 --> 00:24:01,222
for scientific method.
618
00:24:01,309 --> 00:24:04,181
And this finding
completely ignores it.
619
00:24:04,268 --> 00:24:05,574
What did
you tell Detective Vera?
620
00:24:05,661 --> 00:24:08,142
I told him the truth.
621
00:24:08,229 --> 00:24:09,883
From the photos,
it appears that the fire
622
00:24:09,970 --> 00:24:12,581
reached upwards
of 1,800 degrees.
623
00:24:12,668 --> 00:24:14,801
- Flashover from the accelerant.
- Not necessarily.
624
00:24:14,888 --> 00:24:17,325
The temperature is
affected mostly by ventilation.
625
00:24:17,412 --> 00:24:18,892
But what about the burn patterns
626
00:24:18,979 --> 00:24:21,590
and the...the puddle
configuration under the bed?
627
00:24:21,677 --> 00:24:24,941
The effects of flashover can
look like evidence of arson
628
00:24:25,028 --> 00:24:27,596
[Goran]
'but these
burn patterns aren't indicative'
629
00:24:27,683 --> 00:24:29,990
of an accelerant.
630
00:24:30,077 --> 00:24:31,295
So how did the fire start?
631
00:24:31,382 --> 00:24:32,471
[Goran]
That's hard to tell.
632
00:24:32,558 --> 00:24:33,820
From these pictures
633
00:24:33,907 --> 00:24:35,822
'it appears that
the point of origin'
634
00:24:35,909 --> 00:24:37,606
'was most likely the kitchen.'
635
00:24:39,434 --> 00:24:41,480
But you can't say
for sure what caused it?
636
00:24:41,567 --> 00:24:42,611
[Goran]
Not for certain.
637
00:24:42,698 --> 00:24:43,656
Which why I'm baffled
638
00:24:43,743 --> 00:24:45,440
by the fire marshal's finding.
639
00:24:45,527 --> 00:24:47,181
Oh, Crawford's
been at it a long time.
640
00:24:47,268 --> 00:24:48,574
He learned from the old timers.
641
00:24:48,661 --> 00:24:50,314
Might explain
why it's based on, uh
642
00:24:50,401 --> 00:24:52,055
junk science
and old wives' tales.
643
00:24:52,142 --> 00:24:53,579
Yeah, but Joe Don, he escaped
644
00:24:53,666 --> 00:24:54,623
with no burns on his feet.
645
00:24:54,710 --> 00:24:55,798
How's that possible?
646
00:24:55,885 --> 00:24:57,626
Because fire burns upward.
647
00:24:57,713 --> 00:24:59,410
And one that reaches flashover
648
00:24:59,498 --> 00:25:01,412
is the next hottest thing
to hell.
649
00:25:01,500 --> 00:25:03,719
And unless you're confronted
with that type of heat
650
00:25:03,806 --> 00:25:06,722
you just can't understand it,
detective.
651
00:25:06,809 --> 00:25:08,681
You're right. I don't.
652
00:25:08,768 --> 00:25:10,247
He left his kids inside.
653
00:25:10,334 --> 00:25:11,510
As soon as he went outside
654
00:25:11,597 --> 00:25:12,554
to find another way in
655
00:25:12,641 --> 00:25:15,383
he just let in more oxygen.
656
00:25:15,470 --> 00:25:17,516
Fed the beast.
657
00:25:17,603 --> 00:25:21,215
Even a fireman wouldn't go
back into this blast furnace.
658
00:25:23,173 --> 00:25:25,349
So what you're saying is..
659
00:25:25,436 --> 00:25:28,091
...it's possible Joe Don
was telling me the truth?
660
00:25:28,178 --> 00:25:30,572
I see no evidence of arson.
661
00:25:33,053 --> 00:25:34,576
That's good. Right?
662
00:25:35,969 --> 00:25:37,666
If he wasn't already dead.
663
00:25:41,017 --> 00:25:42,758
Seemed to take
the news pretty hard.
664
00:25:42,845 --> 00:25:45,239
You think the fire
started in the kitchen.
665
00:25:45,326 --> 00:25:46,849
Older house like that
666
00:25:46,936 --> 00:25:49,417
nine times
out of ten, it's faulty wiring.
667
00:25:49,504 --> 00:25:51,767
Yeah, but there's
no way to tell for sure.
668
00:25:51,854 --> 00:25:53,943
Usually, there'd
be some prior issues
669
00:25:54,030 --> 00:25:56,946
with overloaded
circuits, browning outlets.
670
00:25:57,033 --> 00:25:59,601
But you'd have to ask
somebody who lived in the home.
671
00:25:59,688 --> 00:26:00,907
[Jeannette]
'Joe Don getting killed'
672
00:26:00,994 --> 00:26:04,998
all these detectives
coming round here again.
673
00:26:05,085 --> 00:26:06,782
It's like the
nightmare never ends.
674
00:26:06,869 --> 00:26:08,479
Detective Vera
came by here?
675
00:26:08,567 --> 00:26:09,524
Yesterday.
676
00:26:09,611 --> 00:26:11,004
Asking me all those questions
677
00:26:11,091 --> 00:26:12,701
about things
I'd rather not relive.
678
00:26:12,788 --> 00:26:14,268
Going over your statement.
679
00:26:14,355 --> 00:26:18,881
I didn't care to
but I trust Detective Vera.
680
00:26:18,968 --> 00:26:22,015
Joe Don was pretty
upset when I moved out.
681
00:26:22,102 --> 00:26:23,582
He lost his job.
682
00:26:23,669 --> 00:26:25,105
Drinking too much.
683
00:26:25,192 --> 00:26:28,108
He just.. He wasn't
the same man I married.
684
00:26:28,195 --> 00:26:29,588
I filed for separation
685
00:26:29,675 --> 00:26:34,114
and...then he...
he found out I was dating.
686
00:26:34,201 --> 00:26:35,811
He threaten you or the kids?
687
00:26:35,898 --> 00:26:38,771
He said some
pretty...terrible things.
688
00:26:41,164 --> 00:26:43,166
But, um..
689
00:26:45,516 --> 00:26:48,694
...I couldn't deny
the boys their father.
690
00:26:48,781 --> 00:26:50,391
[Jeannette]
You know, when
they told me that
691
00:26:50,478 --> 00:26:52,567
he set the house on fire
692
00:26:52,654 --> 00:26:55,091
I couldn't believe it.
693
00:26:55,178 --> 00:26:56,397
You know..
694
00:26:58,312 --> 00:27:02,838
...nobody should
experience a loss like that.
695
00:27:02,925 --> 00:27:04,753
Jeannette, did
Detective Vera
696
00:27:04,840 --> 00:27:07,495
ask you anything
else about the house?
697
00:27:07,582 --> 00:27:12,065
He kept asking about
when I lived in the house.
698
00:27:12,152 --> 00:27:14,328
About the kitchen.
699
00:27:14,415 --> 00:27:17,853
He said he'd never let
another man raise his boys.
700
00:27:17,940 --> 00:27:19,942
I lost everything.
701
00:27:20,029 --> 00:27:22,597
Jeannette, I need to ask you
about the time before you left
702
00:27:22,684 --> 00:27:24,120
when you
still lived in the house.

Do you remember
any electrical problems
704
00:27:26,122 --> 00:27:27,428
with the lights
or the outlets?
705
00:27:27,515 --> 00:27:29,648
What problems
didn't the house have?
706
00:27:29,735 --> 00:27:31,867
Lights were always
flickering on and off.
707
00:27:31,954 --> 00:27:33,216
Did you tell your landlord?
708
00:27:33,303 --> 00:27:35,175
Cheap bastard
never fixed anything.
709
00:27:35,262 --> 00:27:37,656
Do you remember any problems
with the wiring in the kitchen?
710
00:27:37,743 --> 00:27:38,874
The switches
or the outlets?
711
00:27:38,961 --> 00:27:41,660
Why are you asking me this?
712
00:27:41,747 --> 00:27:44,010
He's dead, my kids are gone.
713
00:27:44,097 --> 00:27:45,664
- It's important.
- Why?
714
00:27:45,751 --> 00:27:46,926
[instrumental music]
715
00:27:49,624 --> 00:27:52,453
I don't know how
to say this but..
716
00:27:52,540 --> 00:27:54,542
...it's possible Joe Don
didn't set that fire.
717
00:27:58,198 --> 00:28:00,461
You must be joking.
718
00:28:00,548 --> 00:28:02,855
You're the one
who told me he did it.
719
00:28:02,942 --> 00:28:05,074
The police,
the fire department
720
00:28:05,161 --> 00:28:07,250
the lawyers,
it has to be true!
721
00:28:07,337 --> 00:28:08,687
I'm not so sure anymore.
722
00:28:08,774 --> 00:28:10,514
Well, I don't
have any doubt, detective.
723
00:28:10,601 --> 00:28:12,342
You tell me how a man
724
00:28:12,429 --> 00:28:16,042
doesn't run back in
there to save his own sons.
725
00:28:16,129 --> 00:28:18,609
The neighbors,
they saw him on the street
726
00:28:18,697 --> 00:28:20,829
while my babies burned up.
727
00:28:20,916 --> 00:28:22,526
How could
he not go back in there?
728
00:28:22,613 --> 00:28:23,702
Tell me that!
729
00:28:25,660 --> 00:28:27,923
Those were your kids,
would you stand outside
730
00:28:28,010 --> 00:28:30,883
while they burned alive?
731
00:28:30,970 --> 00:28:34,147
Jeannette, what was wrong
with the wiring in the house?
732
00:28:34,234 --> 00:28:36,236
You know, every time
you'd plug in the toaster
733
00:28:36,323 --> 00:28:38,238
the fridge would go out.
734
00:28:38,325 --> 00:28:39,500
In the kitchen?
735
00:28:39,587 --> 00:28:42,155
One time
the outlet melted down.
736
00:28:42,242 --> 00:28:43,722
I lost a bunch
of breast milk.
737
00:28:43,809 --> 00:28:45,288
Joe Don finally called
an electrician
738
00:28:45,375 --> 00:28:47,638
and the landlord
got all upset about it.
739
00:28:47,726 --> 00:28:48,727
The landlord?
740
00:28:48,814 --> 00:28:50,467
Bela.
741
00:28:50,554 --> 00:28:52,121
He only wanted to use
his handyman
742
00:28:52,208 --> 00:28:53,862
to fix everything
on the cheap.
743
00:28:53,949 --> 00:28:55,255
Look, I-I don't understand
744
00:28:55,342 --> 00:28:57,431
why you keep asking me
about the house.
745
00:28:57,518 --> 00:28:58,954
Should talk
to insurance company.
746
00:28:59,041 --> 00:29:00,739
I'm still trying to
get them to pay up.
747
00:29:00,826 --> 00:29:02,262
Oh, that's got to be
rough on you, Bela.
748
00:29:02,349 --> 00:29:05,961
Yeah, I should not
have rented to that family.
749
00:29:06,048 --> 00:29:07,920
[Bela]
Now, that man was alcoholic.
750
00:29:08,007 --> 00:29:11,662
It's always bad when man
of house cannot hold on to job.
751
00:29:11,750 --> 00:29:13,926
Understand that house
had a lot of electrical issues.
752
00:29:14,013 --> 00:29:16,232
Issues? No issues.
753
00:29:16,319 --> 00:29:18,669
You cannot put blame
on me for what happened.
754
00:29:18,757 --> 00:29:20,454
Oh, we didn't say that, Bela.
755
00:29:20,541 --> 00:29:22,935
Maybe we should talk
to your handyman.
756
00:29:23,022 --> 00:29:25,894
Why you detectives
keep harassing me?
757
00:29:25,981 --> 00:29:28,767
[Lilly]
So what happened when Joe Don
hired his own electrician?
758
00:29:28,854 --> 00:29:31,117
Oh, that stupid
waste of money.
759
00:29:31,204 --> 00:29:33,075
You know how much
electrician charges per hour?
760
00:29:33,162 --> 00:29:35,512
Yeah, sounded
like you needed one.
761
00:29:35,599 --> 00:29:38,298
Joe Don was problem tenant.
762
00:29:38,385 --> 00:29:41,431
Always overloading
circuits, clogging up pipes
763
00:29:41,518 --> 00:29:43,869
asking for more time
before paying rent, always!
764
00:29:43,956 --> 00:29:46,872
No, the way we heard it, your
handyman couldn't fix anything.
765
00:29:46,959 --> 00:29:48,656
[Scotty]
There's old wiring,
lights flickering
766
00:29:48,743 --> 00:29:50,571
browning outlets,
and you send over
767
00:29:50,658 --> 00:29:51,964
a guy who can't
screw in a light bulb.
768
00:29:52,051 --> 00:29:53,617
That's ridiculous.
769
00:29:53,704 --> 00:29:55,315
Jorge is very good handyman.
770
00:29:55,402 --> 00:29:56,664
I know him personally.
771
00:29:56,751 --> 00:29:59,014
Joe Don's ex told us
a kitchen outlet melted.
772
00:29:59,101 --> 00:30:00,494
He told them just
773
00:30:00,581 --> 00:30:02,931
"plug it into the bottom".
That your idea?
774
00:30:08,371 --> 00:30:09,764
I am not negligent.
775
00:30:11,331 --> 00:30:12,593
I have lawyers
who can prove this.
776
00:30:12,680 --> 00:30:14,464
Yeah, sure you do.
777
00:30:14,551 --> 00:30:17,641
Look, I manage three
apartment buildings.
778
00:30:17,728 --> 00:30:20,079
People always
want something for nothing.
779
00:30:20,166 --> 00:30:22,342
Never mind
if it's a fire hazard.
780
00:30:22,429 --> 00:30:24,518
I did not start that fire.
781
00:30:27,738 --> 00:30:29,392
This is not my fault.
782
00:30:29,479 --> 00:30:33,092
Oh, yeah, it...
It's nobody's fault.
783
00:30:34,658 --> 00:30:36,399
Hey, call just came in.
784
00:30:36,486 --> 00:30:37,966
Got a jumper
at 12th and Ridge.
785
00:30:38,053 --> 00:30:40,664
It's two blocks up
from Nick's place.
786

- No ID?
- Nada.

00:30:59,509 --> 00:31:01,337

messed up from the swan dive.

'Six stories up.'

793
00:31:14,481 --> 00:31:15,786
That ain't him.
794
00:31:21,183 --> 00:31:22,271
It's good you got
that department vehicle
795
00:31:22,358 --> 00:31:23,969
back in
serviceable condition.
796
00:31:24,056 --> 00:31:25,927
Any such luck
with your detective?
797
00:31:26,014 --> 00:31:27,973
No.
798
00:31:28,060 --> 00:31:29,888
Hey, that's too bad.
799
00:31:31,106 --> 00:31:32,151

of what you did to my son

- No, let me finish.

I know Matt was a screw up.

Wife and I,
we tried everything.
808

Rehab, kicked
him out of the house.
809
00:31:54,651 --> 00:31:56,653
More rehab, none of it worked.
810
00:31:56,740 --> 00:31:58,220
Now, this
is none of my business.
811
00:31:58,307 --> 00:32:00,614
No, it was everybody's
business. That was the problem.
812

Everybody in
this whole damn department
813
00:32:02,050 --> 00:32:03,182
knew that he was my son.

'he got a pass, skated
by, and Matt knew it.'
816
00:32:06,663 --> 00:32:09,362
He counted on it.
817
00:32:09,449 --> 00:32:10,929
Till you finally locked him up.
818
00:32:11,016 --> 00:32:12,669
- I don't need to hear this.
- No, you do.
819
00:32:12,756 --> 00:32:14,976
I had to, Pat!
It was his fourth time!
820
00:32:17,065 --> 00:32:20,590

to get straightened out, John.

is tough with a record.'

But, finally, he did it.
823
00:32:25,508 --> 00:32:27,075
He even got married.
824
00:32:29,208 --> 00:32:32,298
Last month..
825
00:32:32,385 --> 00:32:34,909
...he actually
gave me a grandson.
826
00:32:36,650 --> 00:32:39,305
I heard. Congratulations.
827
00:32:39,392 --> 00:32:43,396
Which is right about when I
finally admitted to myself
828
00:32:43,483 --> 00:32:44,919
that getting locked
up was the best thing
829
00:32:45,006 --> 00:32:47,052
that ever happened to my son.
830
00:32:48,967 --> 00:32:52,187
Which, I guess, is my
roundabout way of saying
831
00:32:52,274 --> 00:32:53,232
you were right.
832
00:32:55,060 --> 00:32:56,365
So, I'm going to
return the favor.
833
00:32:56,452 --> 00:32:57,584
Pat, it was a long time ago.
834

When or if you
get your detective back

'Send him
to psych services.'

take away his badge.

'Take care of it, John.'

it's the only way.

842
00:33:20,999 --> 00:33:22,478
Yeah, okay, thanks.
843
00:33:22,565 --> 00:33:23,914
That was the fire station.
844
00:33:24,002 --> 00:33:25,525
Said Nick was
just there 15 minutes ago.

- Got into it with Crawford.
- Fight?

in and Nick took off.

Alright, call Lil and Scotty.
849
00:33:31,400 --> 00:33:32,662

He on foot?

Hell if I know. Couple of the
guys tossed him out on his ear.

I didn't break his jaw!
