multiple stab wounds topped off with a knife in his chest.
The killer was careful. There's no fingerprints,

Well, he probably knew Karim.
Yeah, but maybe we're looking at this thing wrong.
Maybe it is about Karim. He's a boxer.
Maybe it was a fight that continued outside the ring.
No.
Karim and Eve's death are definitely connected.
See, Eve was trying to shed her old skin
and... And step into the person
she always knew she was on the inside.
The killer wanted her exposed in death.
This was just as much about him as it was about her.
Someone wanted both of them dead.

ARLO: You should have kept my parents out of this.
You know, you have a couple of hours left on your scavenger hunt.
You might want to use them.
SYD: No more games. This ends now.
Or Mommy and Daddy find out about Arlo
and how their little boy took his Bachelor's Degree in Computer Science
and became a drug-dealing killer.
Okay, let's meet. I'm on the promenade.

What?
I understand.
I understand why you didn't tell me about Michelle.
But I wish you had, because then I could have told you
that no matter what happens to her,
that you would never be alone.
'Cause you're part of the Baines family.
[CHUCKLES]
Thank you. That's...
I'm not playing.
What is this?
If something happens to me or Faith,
we want you to share custody of the kids with her sister.
For real?
Wait, there's like four names on here.
Well, I have brothers.
So you're kind of like fifth to get the prize.
So I'm like designated survivor?
Exactly.

Hey.
Thanks. I...

And if something ever happens to my brothers...
You're up.

It's over, Arlo.
You lose.
It's not over until I say it's over.
You have exactly one move left.
Cut a deal.
You know, Knox has a real hard-on for you.
Word came down that he wants me to make you a deal to join us.
Apparently, he thinks you have the tenacity
and skill set that we need,
not to mention the access to information.
I know Arlo's backup. I don't see him.
He wouldn't come alone.
Am I supposed to be flattered by this?
For what it's worth, I think you're a pain in the ass,
and you're ruining my fun.
Your parents sleeping in their bed tonight,
that's a courtesy I've extended to you,
but one call from me, and they're in a booking cell.
We need to get up there.
I thought you were gonna stay with Syd.
Something feels off.
Call off this hit and come quietly.
Detective, you burned down a club.
You stole my fentanyl.
You're not one of the good guys.
That's what I hate about cops.
They're liars.
You and I do the same thing.
We steal, kill,
but you guys never own up to it.
The hypocrisy!
That's what gets me.
Let's hit the rooftops, okay?
Split up?All right.

You're taking this too personally.
This isn't about you. I want Knox.
You tell me how to get to him, this goes a lot better...
Nobody gets to Knox.
Fine.That's how it works.

Okay, let's... Let's try this.
You tell me who you answer to.
Let's start there.
Don't move!
Put it down now.
Move.
[WHISTLES]
You said to come alone, but I guess neither of us did that.
You're out of moves, Arlo.
I win.
Oh, good.
She's a little late, but this will do.
Kat! Hey, Kat!
Hey again! Is this the lucky lady?
Did it fit okay?
ARLO: It was perfect.[CELL PHONE RINGS]

But I don't know her.
She knew my name, like she knew me.
She was Arlo's target all along.
And you've never met this Katherine Miller ever?
I have never seen this woman in my life.
And what... What the hell with Dante?
I know. I'm gonna deal with him.
How could you just get let him go?
I didn't! They have his son!
What was I supposed to do?
Whatever it is that you feel like you owe him,

As far as I'm concerned, Dante is just as dirty as his brother.
