*
I love it!
It's over there. Let's go.
You should try one.
*
MAN: Oh, my gosh, look!
That's that boxer, Johnny D'Amato!
(people screaming, clamoring)
WOMAN: Someone, call 911!
Somebody help him! Johnny! MAN: Call 911!
*
MAN: 25 bucks is a steal.
I mean, look at the set list.
You get "Nobody Weird Like Me," "Subway to Venus,"
"Hollywood," "Higher Ground," "Out in L.A."
I mean, come on, it's a piece of Chili Pepper history.
Recorded in town over at the 7 Club.
No. It wasn't.
I was at that show.
Saturday, July 21, 1990.
First time I wore Doc Martens.
And the set list was,
"Pretty Little Ditty," "Out in L.A.,"
"Higher Ground," "Knock Me Down," "Backwoods,"
"Nobody Weird Like Me," and the encore was
a particularly awesome cover of "Dr. Funkenstein."
That is nothing more than a mix tape,
not worth more than a dollar.
You calling me a fraud?
Yeah. (phone ringing)
Oh, either that, or you're a total amateur. You choose.
Hey, Al. On my way.
Hey.
What's going on?
Vic's Johnny D'Amato.
The boxer?
Yeah. Are you a fan?
ANNOUNCER: Ladies and gentleman,
Johnny D'Amato, aka "The Face..."
Yeah. I-I just sat a few rows away from him
recently at the Pacquiao fight.
You were at that fight? Yeah.
With who?
Uh, Frank-- Francis.
Oh, Francis. Yeah.
Mr. Secret Service Guy.
Mr. Secret Service Guy, yep.
For someone who protects the president,
he seems to be spending a lot of time in New York.
Well, you know, New York has a lot of...
secrets that need servicing.
Uh-huh. Hey, guys.
So, Johnny was the guest of honor at the festival this year.
He was supposed to sign autographs at 2:00 p.m.,
right after the grand procession.
But instead, he showed up at 2:15...
looking like this. What about a canvass?
Um, UNI's did an initial sweep before we got here.
They didn't find anything.
AL: So, Johnny dropped here,
but this isn't where he was attacked?
Any idea where the primary crime scene is?
MURRAY: Nope. CSU couldn't track the blood trail
much further than a few yards.
Too much foot traffic from the festival.
AL: Anything else?
MURRAY: The last thing I have
is from Johnny's driver, Moses Perriman.
Mr. Perriman says he picked up Johnny at his loft on Church,
and then dropped him at the corner of
Broadway and Walker at 1300 hours.
That's at least ten blocks from here.
Driver know where Johnny was headed?
No, but as far as I can tell,
Moses was the last person to see him alive.
And, yeah, I got Jay to follow up with him.
All right, pull all the security footage from this area.
Maybe we'll get lucky.
AL: He sure was a hero to these folks.
Not if they saw his last fight.
Word on the street is, Johnny threw it.
That would piss off a lot of people.
AL: So, if Carrie's right
and Johnny threw the fight,
who do we think that would piss off?
Everybody.
We're talking, managers,
promoters, gamblers, all of them.
So, let's get a list together and...
Holy crap, Al. That's Andre Kade.
The rapper. You know...
"I know I'm no psychic, but I know that you like it..."
Okay, stop that.
He's also Johnny's manager,
which puts him at the top of our list.
Listen, I'm sorry about the weapons ban.
Ah, E-dawg, you know I hate having Mr. Parker
have to give up his gun.
Yeah, I can't allow it in Major Crimes.
I'm sorry, AK.
No, you're gonna be sorry if it goes missing.
That Beretta 92FS is worth more than you make in a year.
Luckily, I married rich.
(laughs)
AK, this is
Lieutenant Al Burns.
AK has donated $100,000
to find Johnny's killer.
That's right. Consider it a bounty.
Dead or alive kind of deal?
No. I mean, whatever helps.
Johnny was important to me.
AK's been his manager for two years.
No, I've been a fan for even longer.
That kid didn't know what he had or how to market it.
He was losing millions, so I reached out.
Who was handling him before?
Nobody.
I mean, he was.
Well, him and that crusty trainer of his, Casey.
Any idea who'd want Johnny dead
or why anyone would want to kill him?
AK doesn't know anything. I've asked him already.
Well, Johnny was a good guy.
People respected him.
He was a killer in the ring, but he had a code.
That code include throwing $10 million bouts?
I heard about that, but I don't believe it.
Johnny was a true warrior.
All he cared about was the fight.
No way he dumped it.
Do you need anything else from me?
No. Thank you, AK.
Where were you this afternoon?
I would've thought you'd be there
for Johnny at the festival.
Well, I had business in Vegas over the weekend.
I came over here as soon as my plane touched down.
All right, so if we're done with the questions.
You need anything, bro,
call me on my cell.
(sighs)
"E-dawg"?
We go sailing sometimes.
Those are some very interesting circles
you're spinning in, Eliot.
Don't waste your time being envious of me.
I got the Boxing Commission, the Italian-American Society
and the world's largest hip-hop mogul on my ass,
and I haven't had my afternoon cappuccino.
Find the guy who wanted this kid killed.
Please and thank you.
Oh, what a shame.
I used to love to watch him move.
You were a fan, too?
Oh, I've been a devotee of the sweet science for years.
I used to moonlight as the on-call doctor
for the Golden Gloves when I was a resident at Beth Israel.
Joe Frazier once sent me flowers
for resetting his nose in the middle of a match.
I still miss it.
How does a world champion boxer end up like this?
I don't know.
Okay.
Cause of death was asphyxiation.
He choked on his own blood.
It's pretty straightforward.
The X-rays are useless--
too many breaks to figure anything out.
I know you want an I.D. on the weapon,
but right now, all I can say is he was hit with
something.
How's that for being specific?
Not very.
I'm considering,
because most of the bruising has a circular shape,
that maybe he was hit with the end of a metal pipe.
Maybe.
I really won't know for sure until I boil his head.
Oh, I know it sounds awful when you say it out loud,
but it's what I got to do.
(watch beeps)
Oh. Right after my protein bar.
(whispers): I'm on a new program.
MURRAY: I finally spoke to Johnny's mother, Maria.
She was getting ready for the festival
when some uniforms broke the news.
She's hysterical.
Says she has no idea who would do this to her son.
She know anything about Johnny throwing his last fight?
No. She never saw his fights,
never wanted to know anything about them.
And as a mother, I get it.
Does he have any other family?
Seems there's a father who's been out of the picture
for years, lives in Honolulu.
But there is an older brother, Bobby.
She know where Bobby might be? She didn't.
I checked his apartment and he wasn't there.
Apparently, he works as a day laborer around the city.
She doesn't know which site he's working today.
Track him down, we got to talk to him. Yeah.
So, Eliot knows AK?
Sailing buddies.
Wow. Mm.
Okay, anyways,
I was doing a little research into Johnny D'Amato,
because I'm more of a Mixed Martial Arts guy.
AK may not believe that Johnny took a dive,
but he is in the minority.
Check it out.
Facebook, Twitter, Tumblr--
they're all saying the same thing:
something was up with that fight.
Now, take a look
at round three.
(crowd cheering)
See, Johnny just drops his gloves.
I mean, come on, who does that?
Sure doesn't look like the Johnny D'Amato
I'm used to seeing.
Was he as good as they say? Oh, yeah.
He was like the Italian- American Sugar Ray Leonard.
Oh, you mean, the lightweight?
Lightweight? Jay,
as a New Yorker, as a sports fan,
you need to appreciate.
Sugar Ray Leonard is a legend.
Well, do you appreciate Anderson "The Spider" Silva?
Or Fedor Emelianenko?
No. Oh, get out of here.
And they were the greatest fighters of all time
in my sport, so we're even.
No, we're not even.
Boxing is an art.
That stuff you watch is a blood sport.
See, you say that like it's a bad thing.
(laughs)
So, if Johnny took a dive, why'd he do it?
Maybe someone ordered him to.
Like somebody owned him.
Could be.
Check with Organized Crime.
See if you can find a financial link to anybody
who may have had Johnny under their thumb.
Go back as far as you have to.
No problem.
You know who'd be really pissed off
if Johnny actually threw that fight?
His trainer, Casey McGraw.
Makes sense.
In addition to a couple of battery raps
he had as a teenager, look what he did to fighters
who didn't give a hundred percent.
He broke one guy's arm,
cracked five ribs on somebody else.
I don't even get why anybody would train with him.
He was the best.
Fighters thought he was worth the risk.
But you got to wonder what Casey would do
if one of his greatest fighters took a dive.
Everybody loved Johnny.
Nobody wanted to kill him.
Besides that, I got nothing to say.
Ah, come on.
Casey, we got so much to talk about.
Yeah? Like what?
Well, I don't know.
Like Jack Dempsey,
the "Manassa Mauler."
1920, he was the man.
83 fights,
65 wins, 11 draws,
six losses, one no contest.
And I'm always up for chatting about Sugar Ray Robinson,
the original pound-for-pound king.
Look, we just need
a minute of your time.
For Johnny.
Take a break!
CASEY: All right, you've seen my sheet.
Cops aren't my favorite people.
I got five minutes. What do you want to know?
What happened to your hand?
I, uh, split a knuckle.
Part of the job.
AL: Where were you about 1:00 p.m.?
CASEY: At home.
Can anybody confirm that?
My cat.
All right, what's this about?
You think I had something to do with
what happened to Johnny?
Whoever killed Johnny killed me.
Johnny was the best.
He was my best.
Casey, you hear what people are saying
about Johnny's last fight?
There's no way he threw it.
I saw those knockdowns, Casey.
It-it didn't look good.
Well, he was distracted that morning, uh...
riled up, but... not in a good way.
He say what was bothering him?
No. Johnny... kept it to himself.
He kept quiet most of the time.
He... just kept it inside, you know?
But there's no way he took a dive.
It's not how I trained him.
He-he wouldn't do that.
Not to me.
You were like a father to him, huh?
I mean, you took care of him after his father left.
Yeah, him and his brother both.
I mean, they were like all the kids around here.
But Johnny, he was...
he was different from the rest.
I mean, I knew he had that special sauce.
And that face.
Oh, forget about it.
He was a star.
I want to show you something.
Okay, just look at this.
You see that? Yeah.
Johnny was quick as a rabbit.
That's what he was known for, "the combination."
There's not many people
can finish a combination with the same hand.
Right hook, left uppercut, left cross.
That's not bad.
You want to, uh, pop your hips at the end.
You'd be surprised the difference it makes.
Yeah? Yeah.
Ooh!
Oh.
This one's got the special sauce, too, huh?
Yeah. She's saucy, all right.
Thanks.
Hey, Al.
I've been doing a little research,
and as a New Yorker and a sports fan,
I feel obligated to tell you that your boy,
Sugar Ray Leonard, lost three times in his career.
What's your point, Jay? Oh, I'm just saying, you know...
How many losses does your guy Silva have?
Well, that's not really relevant, is it? Six.
You're not the only one around here knows how to do research.
Okay, so anyways, this is what I wanted to show you.
Johnny had some unusual connections.
You see this lady?
She's been in tons of photos with Johnny
over the years; her name is Dafina Dervishi.
Dervishi?
As in Agim and Edon Dervishi?
Afraid so.
So we're talking Albanian mob.
Yep. And that's not all.
I checked with NCIC;
it turns out, Johnny filed individual restraining orders
against four members of the Dervishi family
just three weeks ago. Why?
Doesn't say.
It's just a standard
"stay 1,500 feet the hell away from me" kind.
Anyways, let me introduce you to the family.
Agim, Edon, Megi and Dafina.
Agim's married to Dafina.
Edon is Agim's brother.
And Megi is married to Edon.
Now, I know they don't look it,
but... these folks are scary as hell.
Way to show off with Casey back there,
pulling out all the boxing stats.
Okay, I was not showing off.
I was engaging a possible suspect. (laughs)
Besides, I've always loved boxing.
Where do you think I got my sexy right hook?
Oh, the one you used on me?
I wouldn't describe it as "sexy."
December, 2001, Syracuse Christmas party.
I believe we were dating,
and you were hitting on the bartender.
Oh, I was not hitting on her.
I was engaging a confidential informant.
She was a slut. What is going on here?
I don't know.
(music playing, people laughing)
The cops. This is perfect.
Thank you, God. Come on. Come on.
Frank, keep rolling, keep rolling, keep rolling.
Hey, hey, hey. Shut that off.
Hey, you're not my executive producer. No, I am not.
I'm the guy who could lock you up for obstructing.
Shut that off!
Wait-wait-wait-wait.
We were just about to blow out the candles.
What are you doing?
We're here about the murder of Johnny D'Amato.
Sure, I knew Johnny; we all grew up together.
You didn't just know him though, right?
You subsidized him before he went pro.
We found a lot of money flowing
from your bank accounts into Johnny's.
Yeah, I've been helping Johnny's poor ass out
ever since high school.
Me and my girls, we all have a cut of him.
It's like a syndicate.
You know, like what they have with horses,
and, uh, other studs?
Like, you owned him?
No, nobody owned Johnny. We forgave a debt.
It was like we were proud of him.
So what were the restraining orders about?
Our show, Staten Island Syndicate Wives.
He was pissed off that we kept taping him-- whatever.
We were exciting enough without him, anyway.
Besides, Johnny was kind of a jerk.
You loved him, but he was a jerk.
Which is it?
Both.
Johnny was a home-wrecker.
He was stepping out with my slut-bag
sister-in-law over there.
My brother-in-law, Edon, is such an idiot.
I told him he shouldn't marry her.
Anyone who goes shopping
at the Outlet Collection at Jersey Gardens,
gonna be cheap in more ways than one.
Megi was cheating with Johnny?
You know this for a fact?
I know she was cheating with somebody.
She had the hots for Johnny ever since high school.
It was bound to happen eventually.
I mean, I love her,
but she's a putane, which means...
He knows what that means.
Did Edon know about this theory of yours?
So, you think I let the cat out of the bag, huh?
That I just set my own brother-in-law up for murder?
There's no way that I would even be talking to you
if I didn't know for a fact
that Scorsese over there has been filming us 24 hours a day,
all week.
And you can check the tape, so...
You have to pay for Johnny!
(people murmuring)
All right, relax.
Bobby!
Bobby D'Amato!
It was them. Johnny's dead because of them!
They killed Johnny.
All they wanted was for Johnny to be famous.
But if he hadn't been famous, he'd still be alive.
Johnny's dead because of them!
CARRIE: Bobby,
put the bat down.
They took my brother.
You don't want your mother to bury two sons
in one week, right?
Put it down.
(sobbing)
We've been looking for you, Bobby.
Where you been?
I don't know. Nowhere.
I can't believe he's gone.
I can't believe it.
What makes you think
they're involved in Johnny's death?
Because Johnny told me he was afraid of them.
Did he say why?
They're connected, you know that, right?
They're mobbed up
from-from some country-- I don't even know where.
Albania. It's north of Greece.
BOBBY: Whatever.
These people, they knew
that Johnny was gonna make it big,
so they wanted to get him under their wing.
Taking him out, paying for stuff.
I wanted to tell him to stay away,
but what am I gonna do, you know?
Tell my brother not to live his dream?
Any specific threats?
Yeah, a couple of months ago.
I don't know what it was about,
but Johnny told me they wanted him
to do something that he didn't want to do.
He said he didn't want me involved.
He said he wanted to... protect me.
My baby brother.
If only I'd been there today.
I shouldn't have gone to work.
I... I needed the money.
Like, ever since my old man left,
I swore to my mother that I would take care of Johnny,
I would look out for him.
What am I supposed to say?
How do I face her?
Please...
Please, you got to find who did this.
Let's get you a ride home.
(indistinct police radio chatter)
Hey, guys.
Okay, so here's the deal.
I'm getting you all that Syndicate footage ASAP,
just like you asked, because I'm all about helping the NYPD.
That's great.
Can I just say
that what happened here, with the guns
and you and the Albanians and the guy--
it was amazing.
You both were amazing.
Real American hero-type stuff.
I just got three words for you to think about:
Major Crimes NYC.
On TV. On cable.
That's seven words.
Nine, actually.
You don't want to be cable-famous?
Cable famous?
Al?
You're already famous in my eyes.
Guess that's a no.
Well, you know where I am if you change your mind.
You're missing out.
We can make a lot of money.
The depths of the cracks would indicate to me
that Johnny was punched to death.
Which is weird. He's a boxer,
and there are no defensive wounds.
His blood alcohol came back at .13 percent,
there were no drugs in his body,
so he was conscious at the time of the attack.
And the alcohol might have slowed him down, but not enough.
Yeah, yeah. And look.
You see those scratches around the area of the impact?
That would be consistent...
With a heavy ring.
Johnny was really worked over.
The fact that his lower teeth were knocked out, to me, says...
BOTH: Uppercut.
The temporal bone, shattered.
That could indicate a right hook.
And these cracks
are very deep, and that could mean...
Straight left cross.
Exactly.
CASEY: You see that?
Johnny was quick as a rabbit.
That's what he was known for, "the combination."
Right hook, left uppercut, left cross.
Johnny was killed by his own combination.
No, no, no. I'm not stirring nothing!
This is my family you're talking about.
What do you think I'm supposed to say?!
Gimme. Gimme.
Hey, you (bleep).
You tell her
that if she's gonna keep spreading lies as often
as she spreads her legs... Mm-hmm.
...that I'm gonna come over there and end her.
(speaking Albanian)
All right, thank you.
CARRIE: Hey.
Murray's on her way over to Gleason's.
I don't like that split knuckle,
and I don't like his weak-ass cat alibi.
What's up?
Not my IQ, since I started watching
the Staten Island Syndicate Wives footage.
I've gotten to know the real Dervishis pretty darn well.
Come on,
you look like a thug, Edon.
Dinner tonight's, like, fancy.
Hey, get that thing out of my face.
You make me look like a girl.
I don't make you look like a girl.
I try to make you look presentable.
Hey, I am presentable.
Oh. Is that what that whore down at the bar tells you?
Cuckoo. That you're presentable?
You're crazy! Like some kind of bitch...
Okay. What about their alibis?
Airtight. Want to see what the family was up to
around Johnny's time of death?
Hey, this is my bedroom.
This is where I sleep with my wife.
(speaking Albanian)
You're (bleep) dead, idiot!
Shut...
I actually looked that up.
You don't want to know what he's saying, trust me.
You're kidding me with this.
I know, but, you know, once I started watching it,
I really couldn't stop.
Like the day Agim got a pedicure.
You got to see it; it's... pretty funny.
DAFINA: Baby, baby. Come sit down.
What the...? Eh.
Make it quick; I have a sandwich.
Baby, you are gonna love it.
You deserve to be pampered.
You are my... mm. You're such a sweet... mm.
DAFINA: Don't forget his toes, too, please.
AGIM: Not the toes, baby.
They're disgusting.
Wait, Jay, stop. Right there. Go back.
CARRIE: That girl-- tighten up on her.
CASEY: There's not many people can throw a combo
finishing with the same hand.
There was a photo of her in Casey's office.
Does he have a granddaughter, a niece,
anything like that?
Yep. A granddaughter, Anna McGraw.
What's she doing in this footage?
JAY: Well, hold on,
there's more of her.
MEGI: Look!
It's a big man with a little stick.
Hey, you talking (bleep) about my husband?!
(laughing) Huh?!
(speaking Albanian) Huh? Say it again.
AL: This must've been
before Johnny's restraining order kicked in.
You know, his mom said he wasn't seeing anybody.
Well, she was wrong.
They're in a relationship, all right.
But I can tell you something else:
the way he's touching her, I think she's pregnant.
(Megi and Dafina arguing)
D-Do you have an address for her?
JAY: Yep. 251 Walker Street.
Okay, that is one block from where Johnny's driver
dropped him off.
That's where Johnny stopped before the festival.
Maybe Casey was there, found out about the relationship,
about the pregnancy.
Casey's a pretty traditional guy.
She just graduated from college.
I'm guessing he didn't like the situation.
Sounds like motive to me.
CARRIE: No. I saw Casey's face.
How he felt about Johnny.
I'm not buying it. All right.
Murray,
you got eyes on Casey?
Almost.
Good.
We're gonna need you to bring him in.
Sorry, Al.
Casey's not going anywhere.
He's dead.
Not really sure what this was about
if it wasn't personal.
There's no sign of a forced entry.
No struggle.
The safe was left untouched.
So this was an execution.
Connected to Johnny's murder?
You know how I feel about coincidences.
(chuckles) Yeah, you're not a fan.
Right.
Get me a list of everybody who's been
in and out of the building in the last 24 hours.
You got it.
Anna.
Thank you for coming down.
ANNA: What's happening?
Why is everybody dying?
I know this is hard.
Losing your grandfather...
and losing Johnny.
You knew about me and Johnny?
(sighs)
Anna,
is there anybody you know...
who would want to hurt your grandfather?
No.
Everybody loved him.
He was like a father to half the kids in the neighborhood.
He...
had such a good heart.
What about Johnny?
No.
I mean, I-I don't know other fighters.
I never saw that side of him, the...
the killer they said he was in the ring.
With me... he was gentle.
He was the father of your child.
(sighs)
But I lost the baby.
Six weeks ago.
Sunday.
Sorry to hear that.
But when I told him, he was so sweet.
He said it made him... understand what was important.
He was gonna quit boxing.
Open a gym with my grandfather.
They were celebrating
that morning.
Right before Johnny died.
(sighs)
We were gonna tell my grandfather
that we were together.
And that we were gonna get married.
We were gonna try again.
To start a family.
(clears throat)
So that's why Johnny was so distracted
during his last fight.
He just found out Anna lost the baby.
Poor girl. Yeah.
So, if Johnny was quitting and going into business with Casey,
that may give us the link between the two crimes.
Mm. Well, I followed up with Bobby's alibi.
Time card shows
he was clocked in over at Mari-Tan Construction
in Long Island City for his entire shift.
Okay. Hmm.
And ballistics came back on the slug Webster pulled
from Casey's chest.
It was a nine millimeter.
It came from a Beretta 92FS.
You know who packs a Beretta 92FS?
AK's bodyguard, Mr. Parker.
Johnny tell you he was quitting boxing
and going into business with Casey?
He did. And you didn't think
to mention that back at Major Crimes? No.
Johnny wanted to quit the pro circuit
every five minutes.
He called it a circus.
He didn't care about the money.
CARRIE: You weren't very fond of Casey, were you?
You did an interview last year, March 3, for ESPN.
You were quoted as saying,
"Casey was like an old mule who needed to be
put out to pasture."
Good memory.
I stand by that. Well, then,
you should be happy to hear that he's dead;
shot right through the heart.
Whoa. Uh, not that way.
Not retire permanently.
Really?
Last month, you set up a $40 million fight
for Johnny in Vegas.
Johnny going into business with Casey
would've messed that up.
We're supposed to believe you were cool with that?
Detective, I've got a lot on my plate.
So if you could get to the point.
Here's the point: we think you had
Mr. Parker kill Johnny.
Then you had him kill Casey. You were in Vegas yesterday,
but we checked your plane's manifest.
Mr. Parker wasn't on it.
He never left the city.
I think we're done here.
I gave you my time out of respect for Eliot,
but now... you can talk to my lawyer.
Okay.
We'll leave.
Right after you give me the Beretta
on your right hip.
I'm not giving up Bonnie.
KADE: Don't worry, Mr. Parker.
Bonnie's not going anywhere without a warrant.
You named your gun "Bonnie."
That's cute.
DAFINA: He was stepping out with my slut-bag sister-in-law.
Can I ask you a question?
What's it like to kiss a girl with a lip ring?
A diamond one, no less.
You're the one who's been having an affair with Megi, aren't you?
That's her in your ad.
I don't care how famous you are
or how many guns with fancy names your Mr. Parker has.
What do you think's gonna happen
when an Albanian mobster finds out
you're sleeping with his wife?
It would be really bad for you if that got out.
This one's not too good at keeping secrets.
Aw, thanks.
(sighs)
Whoa.
Gold plated?
Eliot's not gonna like you taking Mr. Parker's only gun.
Now, that's not his only gun, is it?
He also has a registered Desert Eagle
50 caliber, don't you? (phone ringing)
AL: Let me guess,
you call that one "Clyde," right?
(chuckles)
Yeah, Murray.
(gasps)
Really?
So, that gentleman over there
was Dumpster diving for dinner,
and he found this.
We know whose blood this is?
MURRAY: Not yet.
The lab's putting a rush on it.
After we got the call, CSU came out,
luminoled the area, and they found blood
on these pallets.
I thought you guys might want to take a look.
Thanks.
You know, these pallets-- they haven't moved since
we were here yesterday, Al.
Look at the way they're set up.
Just like a hiding place, right?
What if he was hiding there the whole time?
CARRIE: Could've used our arrival at the scene
as a diversion.
And then walked right out of here.
Bobby.
Johnny's brother was here.
He said he wasn't anywhere near the festival.
But he lied; I saw him.
Hey, Bobby!
We need to talk to you for a minute, okay?
Bobby!
I need a 10-85 at Mari-Tan Construction.
39th and Vernon.
(lock clicks)
Al! Al!
Behind you!
*
Take it from me, that's gonna hurt for a while.
You popped your hips on that one.
We found Johnny's blood all over your toolbox.
And his championship ring.
He gives you his championship ring, and you...
kill him with it.
I got to say, you impressed me.
The stunt you pulled at the Dervishis',
where you showed up and accused them
on camera, and then...
you get a co-worker to punch your time card for you,
so your alibi is golden.
I mean, you're a smart guy, Bobby.
I don't know what you're talking about.
Johnny was supporting you, wasn't he?
Which is... which is what a brother should do.
But it's weird, because we looked into his financials,
and about a month ago,
the checks he was sending you-- they stopped.
He was cutting you off, wasn't he?
Yeah.
Yeah, I begged him.
I told him I just needed a little more time
to get on my feet.
But he said no.
You begged you brother for help, and he said no?
(sighs)
Look, that's why I went to the festival--
to-to talk with him.
But he wouldn't listen.
So I hit him.
And he didn't hit you back, did he?
No, no.
And I'm thinking, "What?
What, I'm-I'm not good enough?"
Like, my baby brother thinks
that I'm some kind of schmuck that he doesn't even
need to put his hands up? Like I'm nothing?
So you hit him again and again to get him to hit you back,
to get him to fight. Right?
I-I don't know. I guess so.
I didn't mean to kill him.
I'm sorry.
I didn't mean to.
That might not do it. Doesn't matter.
He was drunk, they're fighting.
Most he gets is manslaughter for the brother.
And Johnny's a fighter. Bobby may walk on self-defense.
AL: Which is why we need to get him for the trainer.
Carrie have enough?
She will.
You know who I met?
Casey.
Your brother's trainer, Casey.
I-I didn't like him.
What did you think of Casey?
(sighs)
You know, I wanted to train with Casey.
See, I was there first.
I was sweeping up that gym when I was ten years old.
Wow.
And what then? He-he meets Johnny and...?
Yeah. Casey saw Johnny...
it's like I never existed.
And the two of them just cut you out?
Yeah.
I mean, Casey wouldn't even let me into the gym
to watch my brother box.
You know those gyms that-that Johnny and Casey
were gonna build together? Yeah.
So, I asked my brother, "C-Can I help out?
Can I get a piece of something?"
And before he can even answer me,
Casey's there saying, "No. No, no, no.
It-it's time to cut him off."
That I was a parasite.
He called you a parasite?
Johnny was your brother, he was your blood.
Casey was the parasite.
That's right. And he took my brother right out from under me.
All of this is Casey's fault.
He's the reason you guys weren't close anymore.
And I'll tell you something, if I had a Beretta,
I would've walked up and shot him through the heart, too.
That's right, that's why I killed him.
He took everything from me.
Everything!
(sighs)
I never meant to hurt Johnny.
(whispers): I never meant to hurt Johnny.
I believe you.
I do.
(sighs)
Ah.
Confession whisperer.
That was nicely done.
Especially like the way you
played the empathy card with Bobby, drew him out.
Well, that's my version of a rope-a-dope.
It's a boxing term, Eliot.
Stick to sailing.
Speaking of which, just to prove
that there's no hard feelings, AK doubled the money
that he intended to use for the reward
and he donated it to the local Boys and Girls Club
in Johnny and Casey's names.
Aw, well, I am sure you will be at that photo op.
He also donated a case of his new vodka, Vodka Kade,
to Major Crimes.
Now, that is thoughtful, because I could use
a drink right now.
I mean, of course, you know, I couldn't accept it.
It's in your trunk, isn't it?
AL: No, no. Not his style.
It's at his Hamptons house.
Oh. To which, by the way...
uh... oh, that's right,
neither of you are ever invited again.
So... are you actually dating
Mr. Secret Service Guy now?
Define "dating."
Was it five dates?
Define "date."
You know what, you're right.
None of my business.
Next time,
I'm the one taking you to a fight.
Why wait?
Let's do it right now.
Right here. Right here?
Right now. Let's do it.
Yeah?
Oh, finally get my rematch, huh?
Let's go.
Yeah. I'm ready for that right hook this time.
Put them up. Come on. Come on.
Come on. Come on. (laughs)
Come on. Come on. Come on, right here.
Come on.
Why are you dancing around like that?
What's wrong with you? You got to bob and weave.
Show me, come on. "Bob and weave"?
Put your hands up; this is a fight.
You know we're just sparring, right?
Yeah.
