The Forgotten s01e09 Episode Script
Lucky John
Do you believe in luck? Or are you someone who thinks everything happes for a reason? If something good happens to you, was it supose to happen? Or are some of us more afortunaste than others? I always thought I was lucky.
If I flipped a coin a hundred times, I'd be right at least 75.
But even with all the luck in the world, I still ended up here.
Maybe it was fate.
It happened for a reason Or maybe the luck I depended on just finally ran out.
Sorry.
I know I'm a little late.
Hey.
Hi, greta.
Thanks for coming.
Oh, sure.
This is Weird In a "I used to love this person.
Now I'm meeting them for coffee" sort of way.
Uh, one of the reasons I called is, um, I'm working on a new case.
It's a john doe.
He had this old coin foundon hi.
It's from the mid-1800s, so I thought maybe The museum archives might be able to-- Well, our specialty's art, not coins, alex.
You know that.
No, I know.
I know.
I just thought Maybe if you have a minute, you could take a look.
Um Yeah.
O-okay.
I'll see what I can do.
Thank you.
What's going on, alex? I Just, uh, I just wanted to talk to you.
About what? I don't know.
I mean, uh, A lot's changed, and I guess after seeg you, I just wanted to Reconnect.
I'm not ready for that yet.
I should go.
Bye.
Thanks.
Oh, oh, no, over here.
You said by the window.
Yeah, I know, but that's the space for creativity, And this is the bagua for skills a knowledge.
Bagua? It's part of feng shui.
It divides the home into nine life areas, Like prosperity, health, family.
What about a hernia? Is there an area for getting a hernia? Okay, just put it down.
I know we wanna increase The positive vibe in here, but we got some work to do.
I got the file from russell this morning.
We got a john doe, white male, late 20s.
oh, he was found in a car? A stolen car by the freeway.
The body was stuffed in the trunk about four months ago.
Our first mob hit--two to the back of the head, right? Actually, it was just one, and it was in the chest.
The car was stolen from the parking lot At riverside train station.
The owner parked there In the morning, took the "l" to work, Came back, the car was gone.
How far did the police get? Not too far.
There was no d.
N.
A.
Or fingerprint matches In the database for our doe.
I'm asking russell to double-check that, But he was wearing a fancy sport jacket and jeans.
It looks expensive.
With an outfit like that, he could've been shot Somewhere else and then driven to a run-down area.
It says here that they found john doe's wallet.
They did, but it was picke clean--no I.
D.
, no credit cards.
The only thing they found on the inside was this.
It's a photograph of a kid, Wearing a hospital gown.
It could be a family member.
It could be someone Who needs him, somee doesn't know Where he is, what happened to him.
We should check local hospitals, 'cause if we can find him, he could give us our doe's name.
I'll go.
Um, actually, candace, would you mind Checking that out with tyler? Walter, I want you to come with me.
Where? Back to where they found the stolen car.
I know the area.
If I'm right, it could be sort of dangerous.
I could use the backup.
Roger that.
Which brings me to this--it was found in our doe's pocket.
That's a silver dollar.
But this is not just any silver dollar.
The date on it is 1860.
Wow.
God, that means it's probably pretty valuable.
Well, I'll check it out.
Walter, let's hit it.
This is why we're here? It's a tent city.
There must be a hundred homeless people here.
Maybe one of them can help.
Yeah, well, shouldn't the cops handle that? They tried, but this is not exactly a neighborhood That trusts cops.
Are you up for this? No.
Yes.
No.
Okay.
Let's just run! It's the cops! Whoa, whoa, wait.
No, no, we're not cops! We're not Cops.
Who the christmas are you, then? Uh, I'm alex.
This is walter.
We're, um We're just trying to ask a few questions about a dead body That was found in a trunk nearby.
What happened to your leg? Got it caught in a door of my lamborghini.
I'm delores.
Guy in a car? Yeah, I remember the police asking about it.
Well, delores, Anything you could tell us, we'd appreciate it.
Kind eyes, this one.
I like him.
Delores, are you hitting on me? Because I am shocked At your excellent taste in men.
Wanna buy me dinner? Uh When? Whenever you want.
If I help you, You come back and buy me dinner.
Don't worry.
I see your wedding ring.
Sure.
He can do that.
Okay.
There's a guy who used to stahere--louis.
The night that car showed up, I saw him talking to the driver.
The next day, this place was crawling with cops.
And louis hasn't been back since.
I'm rry.
I don't think he was a patient here.
Are you sure? We've been to almost every hospital in the city.
Well, I can ask around, but I run the pediatrics ward.
If he was one of our patients in the last few years, I'd probably recognize him.
This is our john doe.
Maybe he looks familiar? No.
Is he related to the boy? Mr.
Riggs, I need you to sign these.
Hey, I've seen him before.
You have? Yeah, about four months ago, maybe.
He came to one of our orientation sessions.
It's for people in the community who wanna volunteer.
Asked a lot of questions about the cancer ward.
I always hated hospitals.
But that was where I needed to be.
Not because I needed help-- Because I wanted to give it.
You get his name? No, that's just it.
I only remember 'cause he never gave it.
After a 2-hour session, he left.
Never signed up.
Well, we were right.
This silver dollar is valuable.
It is worth just over 12,000 bucks.
whoa.
Yeah, and there is a legend for this particular coin.
Is it spooky? I just got off the phone with a coin collection expert.
He said the story goes that this coin was used by Abraham lincoln.
That's not spooky.
Used when? First night of the battle of gettysburg.
Mary td lincoln asked her husband If the union would win the battle.
So he flipped a coin? Lincoln called heads.
It came up heads.
A few days later, the union won.
Wow.
That is Ridiculous.
That is not ridiculous.
It's Romantic.
What's romantic? You know, the idea that We can't control what happens, That luck decides people's lives.
excuse me.
yeah.
Alex.
You asked us to double-check our doe's d.
N.
A.
, So we ran it again.
First time we got nothing, But this time, we got a hit.
Well, how's that possible? Apparently, some states use private labs to test d.
N.
A.
They can't upload results to the federal database.
Bottom line--a private lab in ohio just sent Years worth of d.
N.
A.
To the government for uploading.
John doe was arrested for assault five years ago.
His name's in the system.
How soon can you get here? I'm on my way.
That coin may actually be lucky.
We might have just gotten our john doe's name.
Ugh.
Something's not right.
I thought we had a name.
I thought so, too.
Okay, this is our doe, right? Mm-hmm.
He's a white male in his late 20s.
What's the issue? the d.
N.
A.
Is an exact match to the michael sacks in our system, But this is michael sacks.
Not much of a resemblance.
Michael sacks had a heart attack while his case was pending.
He died over four years ago.
Well, I'll tell you what happened.
John doe here has two sets of d.
N.
A.
I'm sensing a technical explanation.
Actually, itretty simple.
He got a bone marrow transplant.
At some point, he must have had cancer.
They obliterated his bone marrow with chemotherapy.
And the donor was michael sacks? Correct.
Michael sacks donated new bone marrow, And since bone marrow creates the red and white cells That form the blood-- they had identical d.
N.
A.
Exactly.
You test the blood, you get one result, But if you swab a cheek, you get another.
So can we track it? I mean, if he got a transplant, there must be a record.
Yeah, I thought so, but no.
There's a database for public donations.
We checked, but it's not on file.
So this wasn't a public donation.
No.
If you get bone marrow privately From a family member or friend, no national record.
Michael sacks was the key.
He made a bone marrow donation To a friend.
We just need to figure out who.
Was it luck? Was it fate? Either way, I was given a second chance at life, And nothing was gonna stop me from making the most of it.
So john doe had this picture in his wallet, And he was asking about how to volunteer at a cancer ward.
And now we find out that he had cancer? Correct.
Our john doe had a bone marrow transplant, But the cancer is just one piece of the puzzle.
What else do we know? I sent the wallet photo and john doe's sketch Out to the network.
We already got a few hundred tips.
It's gonna take a while to sort through.
And I'm still looking for louis, the guy delores told us about.
So far he hasn't show up at any of the downtown shelters.
Okay, lindsey? I'm gonna see if I can find anybody who knows michael sacks.
I have a few ideas where to look.
All right, I'll be back in an hour.
Where are you going? Uh, I asked an old friend to look into this lucky coin, And if there's a record of who owned this thing, She'll find it.
I thought you already looked into who owned the coin.
I did.
It was a dead end.
Who's this friend he's talking about? Hey.
Hey.
So I've been all over the historical forms online And the archives at the museum.
Any reference to the owner? Well, a reference, but no name.
It was bought in an online auction three year ago By an anonymous bidder.
Anonymous? But what I can tell you is that whoever bought it paid twice What it was worth to get it.
Here you go.
Greta, come on.
Just, whdon't you take a seat? Would you just talk to me, please? I mean, I'm right here.
I'm trying.
You really don't see it, do you? You weren't here when we were together, Not before our daughter was gone, And god knows not after.
That's not fair.
I mean, we were okay, But on lucy was taken, everything changed.
You know that.
You were gonna find lucy and bring her back, And so off you went-- for us! Yeah, that's right, except you stopped being my husband.
That last day we were together, we were at church.
We were at a vigil for lucy, And suddenly, you let go of my hand And just walked out.
Do you remember that? I'm sorry I wasn't there for you.
Truth is, I wasn't there for myself.
I didn't handle things well.
Clearly, I didn't handle things at all.
I've always known what we once meant to each other.
I have to go.
I ha a meeting.
Greta Yeah? Hey, I've got some good news.
I could use it.
I think I found a woman who knew michael sacks.
Her name is andrea hudson.
I called the precinct in ohio where he was arrested.
It took some begging on my part, But they dug up his old file, And she was his contact.
That is good news.
It gets better.
She is living in chicago.
She's on her way to the precinct To meet you and russell right now.
andrea hudson? Yes, yes.
Hi.
I'm detective russell.
This is alex donovan.
He works for the victim's rights group That's been assisting our investigation.
Thanks for coming in.
Of course.
Although, I have to ad I'm not sure why I'm here.
Well, you once knew a man named michael sacks.
Is that true? Yes.
We dated a long time ago.
This is about michael? As strange as it sounds, It's actually about michael's d.
N.
A.
We think michael was the donor of a bone marrow transplant.
We don't know how long ago.
Oh, it was 12 years ago.
Yes, michael and I were together then.
Great.
So you know who received that donation.
Of course.
Matthew.
Miael savehis life.
Matthew--that's his name? Matthew hudson-- he's my son.
Is he all right? When you've been through some tough times, And you come out the other side, It changes everything-- What you touch, how you feel.
It's not just about living.
It's about being truly alive.
I'm sorry.
We can take you to the medical examiner's office For official identification.
Matt had leukemia when he was 16.
By the time we realized, it was very advanced.
He had this photograph on him when he was found.
It's matthew, isn't it? He was down to about 100 pounds.
the medication wasn't enough.
He needed a bone marrow transplant, And even then, the doctors didn't think that he'd survive.
I was dating michael sacks at the time, And amazingly, he was the closest match.
So your boyfriend saved your son.
They said that matt's chances were less than a million to one, But somehow he made it.
Sounds like he was a tough kid.
He was lucky.
After that, um, it changed him.
Changed him how? He was the miracle kid, A living long shot.
He became obsessed with the odds involved.
All he cared about was numbers and statistics and-- He, uh, he had this coin on him.
Uh Some people consider this lucky.
That was him.
He was searching for things like that.
Some people he gambled on everything-- You know, pro sports, college, uh, even high school.
So you thought he had a gambling addiction.
He couldn't help himself.
Any chance he got to put his money on the long shot Like he was Mrs.
Hudson, when was the last time That you saw your son? On mother's day.
I-I didn't always approve of how matt lived his life.
The gambling was getting dangerous, and I told him so.
I-I wasn't close to him like I used to be.
But he always came to see me on mother's day.
Can you tell us anything about his life, where he was living? The last time we talked, He was working as a stockbroker downtown.
There was a girl.
I think her name was olivia.
Please.
He was my son.
I need to know what happened.
So this whole time we thought it was a family member, But he was carrying around a picture of himself.
I guess he kept it to remind him of what he went through.
Explains why he wanted to volunteer At a pediatric cancer ward.
Yeah, but not why he walked out.
That's true.
We still have a lot of questions to answer.
Matt hudson had a gambling problem.
Is that what got him killed? You think he owed someone money? Loan sharks! See, I knew this case had a mob connection.
At this point, we don't know what this case has.
So we're gonna attack it on two fronts.
First, we got matt's address from his mom.
Police ran it.
He was living with a woman named olivia hill.
Is that the girl he was dating? Sounds like it.
Maybe you and candace can go talk with her.
Second, russell and I are gonna stop by matt's brokerage firm.
Uh, walter, any luck finding louis, Our long-lost homeless witness? Mm, not yet, but keep hope aliv I'm having dinner with delores tomorrow night.
That's right-- the, uh, big date.
I would pay to see that.
mm-hmm.
Mm.
you guys worked as brokers together? Yeah, before he got fired about a year ago.
Matt hudson was sharp-- maybe best trader I ever saw.
He just liked to be more aggressive than the rest of us.
Are you saying he, uh, liked betting on the long shots? Right.
Great guy.
He just-- he took the luck thing too far.
It was-- it was almost o.
C.
D.
With him.
Are you saying he was reckless? His style wasn't for everybody.
Betting the favorite? Playing the sure thing? That wasn't my style.
I didn't want to lose my job, But life's too srt to play it safe.
At the end, he invested a fortune For a tech client named bob teague.
Took a legitimate chance.
It didn't pan out, But that guy was angry--came up to the office all hopped up, Saying matt went too far.
Olivia, we're so sorry.
We didn't want to tell you on the phone.
Matt and I broke up five months ago.
He moved out.
And we weren't talking, so I didn't know he was missing.
How long were you together? I loved him.
I still love him.
And I thought he loved me.
Can I ask what happened? He couldn't do it.
I wanted a life with him.
We needed to move to the next level, But matt didn't think like that.
Most people have to work to live in the moment.
That's all he knew.
Everything was temporary-- Where he lived, his job Me.
When he lost his job as a broker, He moved on to his next adventure.
He opened a 24-hour dry cleaning store.
Dry cleaning? Really? I know.
Re you angry with him? I loved him.
This just came in.
When matt moved out of olivia's apartment, he stayed at a hotel.
He never came back, so they collected his things.
One suitcase--I guess that's all you need If your life is temporary.
Everything at olivia's apartment was hers.
Nothing belonged to him.
Hmm.
This did.
It's the only thing he kept.
Hmm.
Not the only thing.
"50% off"? I'll get someone to voucher these And send 'em to the lab right away.
Grace, that's gonna take a while.
It's evidence, alex.
You know the protocol.
You stole that? You took evidence in a homicide? I took one.
The police had a dozen of 'em there.
Whatever happened to the brokerage firm? I thought we had a suspect.
Bob teague, the angry tech client.
Russell checked his alibi.
He was golfing in palm springs when matt was murdered.
Well, as far as I can tell, There is only one 24-hour dry cleaner in the city.
I think we should go there right now.
Uh, not me.
I gotta get up early for the junior class bake sale.
Okay.
Uh, walter's with delores.
Candace, tyler, you two up for a little field trip? Sure.
You sure about this? I mean, we could find a restaurant.
A restaurant? Nah.
They charge ya triple for the food Just to pay for the ambiance.
And in chicago, ambiance is free.
Mmm.
I'm having a good time.
Me, too.
You sure your wife won't get jealous? She might, if she even notices I'm out of the house.
Mm.
Listen, delores, not to get all serious on you, But if I can help you in any way-- I don't want your help, walter.
Just your company.
Fair enough.
Maybe you can help me.
Louis--the guy you told us about? I really need to find him.
if you see him, Will you take these, find a pay phone and call me? So now what? Well, matt hudson might be connected to this place.
it's just a dry cleaners.
Excuse me? Yes? Yeah.
Do you-- Thanks.
You guys ready? Uh Yeah, I'd say we're ready.
Just go on back.
The casino had action, excitement.
It was the hottest place in town.
My dream was real.
I thought all I needed was right here.
I've heard of these places, Never known they actually existed.
Well, we can't start showing a sketch around here, But we need to find out who owns the place--quietly.
feelin' lucky.
I'll take, uh, $500 in chips, please.
How do you want it? Oh, give it to me in 50s.
You can put it on my credit.
Sorry, sir.
The owner has to approve anyone playing on credit.
That's okay.
I'm a personal friend of matt hudson's.
He can vouch for me.
Matt doesn't own the place anymore.
Since when? Sir, I just turn cards.
Really? Well, then we have a problem, Because I had a deal with matt hudson.
I can't let you play.
Whoa, hold on.
We--we had an arrangement.
Because I had a deal with matt hudson.
He set up my account.
I ca now you tell me he's gone? You don't give me any explanation? Sir, I'm the owner.
Is there a problem? How did you find this place? Hey, judd.
We need to talk.
You lied to me, judd.
Now I know I'm not a cop, But I was with a cop, and you also lied to her.
What was I supposed to do, admit I own an illegal casino? I, uh, I see the dilemma, and I sympathize.
Really, I do.
Unfortunately, this was matt's casino.
So what did you do, kill him to take over his business? No.
If I start asking around here, am I gonna find out You became the boss right after he disappeared? But I didn't kill him, okay? I didn't kill him.
Okay.
Matt didn't know what he wanted to do, So he started organizing some poker games in the back.
After a while, he got the idea to expand.
Just like that, the two of you went from brokers to criminals.
When was the last time you saw him? he was here the day he disappeared.
He went to the safe, took out a lot of cash-- I don't know why-- put it in a bag and left.
He never came back.
I took that money to change my life.
To start something real for the first time.
But the second I did, I was dead.
I just didn't know it.
All I know is matt wasn't happy his last month here.
Ever since olivia left him, he wasn't the same.
--He wanted to get out, find something stable.
That's what he said? His words.
He didn't even take his full cut.
He would leave a package of cash, And a guy would come pick it up.
What guy? His name is clayton riggs.
I made him show me his I.
D.
The first time he came in.
The guy left with a lot of money.
Hey.
Clayton riggs.
Why do I know that name? Because tyler and I met him at the hospital He ran the pediatric cancer ward.
Why? Because riggs lied to us.
Matt hudson wasn't a volunteer there, But he was helping those kids.
Alex.
I don't understand.
How did you guys even find this place? Uh There is a story there, T, uh, you don't want to hear it, and I don't want to tell it.
Okay.
Well, I don't appreciate being kept out of the loop.
Look, I have another crime scene to get to, But when I'm done, we'll talk.
It wasn't intentional.
Look, this is obviously a very sensitive discussion.
I'd appreciate it if you keep your voice down.
You accepted cash from an illegal organization, Mr.
Riggs.
That's a little bit more than sensitive.
It's a felony.
so? What are you gonna do? I'm not a cop.
I'm not here to arrest you.
I just want to learn about matt hudson And what happeto him.
He was a patient here.
we treated his leukemia.
Then about five months ago, matt came in to see me.
He took an orientation to learn about our programs.
He wanted to help.
But, uh, not as a volunteer.
No.
He said he had money.
He said he had made it the wrong way, But he was changing things, And he wanted the money to make a difference.
So you took it.
I took it for the kids.
I spent it all on the hospital.
It only lasted a few weeks.
Matt would leave the cash at his store.
Last time I went by, matt wasn't there.
Neither was the money.
I didn't know he was dead.
You can judge me, mr.
Donovan, But these kids need my help And there's nothing I wouldn't do for them.
So russell is a little angry That we didn't tell her about the casino sooner.
She wants the cops to handle it from here.
Are you gonna tell her About the hospital taking matt's money? No.
If she finds out herself, she can do what she wants, But I am not gonna be the one who tells her.
So what do we know? Well, matt hudson was changing things.
It's possible he was getting his act together.
The big question is, what happened the day he was killed? We know he went to the casino.
He went to the safe, took out some money, but why? We need to figure out where he went.
Well, maybe this will help.
The police got matt's cell phone records.
I've been looking them over, And he made one call on the day that he died To a restaurant in glen park.
It's called the good elephant.
Mm, don't know it.
Yeah, I don't--I don't either.
But everything that matt did seemed to be about luck.
So maybe there's some meaning there.
I know that elephants are lucky in some cultures.
This is walter.
Hey.
Okay.
Okay.
Thanks! You're the best, delores.
She called.
Louis is back.
Should we call russell now? Let's just go.
H-he could take off again.
Come on.
I told them, louis.
The guy who was driving that car-- I saw you talking to him.
That is crazy.
She's crazy! Say that again, I'll put you in my shirt pocket and won't let you out.
The cops found a body in that car--a murder victim.
Now do you want to get involved with that? You know, forget it, alex.
Let's call detective russell, lock him up.
Okay.
He said his name was jason.
He slept here a few times.
I helped him out, showed him around.
He was homeless? Yeah.
To be honest, he was kind of angry about it.
He didn't like sleeping outside.
Said he was gonna steal a car to sleep in during the day.
Were you with him when he stole it? No, no, no.
No.
I saw him later that night, though.
He came in here carrying this bla leather bag.
And something wrapped up, I don't know what.
You didn't see it? No.
Saw what he did with it, though.
He took it down to the corner, found a place to bury it.
I guess he thought no one was watching.
Did you talk to him? No, not then.
But he saw me on the way out.
That bag Was full of money A lot of money.
I saw it.
Louis, whatever it was that he buried, we need to find it.
Can you show us where he was standing? Yeah.
Okay.
I can't get in trouble for this? No.
The bullets fired from the gun you found Are a match with the slug from matt hudson's body.
So we found the murder weapon.
You found more than that.
The lab said the gun was wiped clean.
The guy who left it was smart but not smart enough.
He never wiped down the bullets in the chamber.
So the lab found a print.
Just a partial, but it was enough, though.
His name is jason burke.
He's 40 years old And a violent, persistent felon.
This guy is all bad.
Specializes in armed robbery.
He's a stickup king.
He did 10 years of a 12-year sentence For robbing a gas station.
He shot the clerk in the shoulder.
Check this out-- he was paroled from state Four days before matt's body was found.
I just talked to the parole officer.
He said burke's gone.
A few days after he was released, He failed to report in.
There's an arrest warrant.
Somehow matt hudson crossed paths with jason burke.
But how? Yeah, he was here.
Well, we knew he called, but he actually came in the restaurant? We had an appointment.
He wanted to discuss all the arrangements-- A certain brand of champagne, a certain song.
He wanted all of it to be perfect.
He said he was gonna win her back, but he never showed up.
Win her back? We were under the impression the relationship was over.
Every couple got engaged here.
Everyone's still married.
Lucky table.
Uh, when matt left the appointment, Did he say where he was going? Not to me, but he did ask me to call him a cab.
Okayso matt hudson got in to a yellow cab When he left the blue elephant.
This is where he went-- Lakeview jewelers.
I lived my life like it could end at any moment.
But olivia said I needed to change or she'd leave me.
And when she was gone, hmm, it jolted I loved her.
I finally realized that I needed to stand still And invest in something permanent in my life.
We got here as soon as we could.
Okay, this is it.
Matt hudson was here at 5:15 on the night he was killed.
This is don mcguffey.
He's the owner.
Mr.
Mcguffey, there are the people I was telling you about.
Could you show them what you showed us? Sure, be glad to.
They showed me the snshot of your john doe.
I recognized the face right away.
This is the tape from the day he was in here.
Nice young man.
Came in looking for a ring, Something to make a big impression.
And you sold him one? Yeah, that's the thing.
He bought a ring.
All I had to do was resize it.
I remember this one Because the boy paid me in cash.
Never came back to pick it up.
Can you freeze that? Sure.
Whoa.
That's--that's-- That's jason burke.
He was in the store at the same time matt hudson was? A career armed robber browsing a jewelry store? He was gonna rob this place.
Exactly.
But why risk robbing a store if you've got a guy With a bag of cash standing right in front of you? All right, so half the city is looking for jason burke.
If he's in chicago, we'll find him.
Jason burke gets released from prison.
He's got no money, no place to stay, So he starts sleeping at the tent city.
Which makes him angry, so he steals a car to sleep in.
Once he starts committing crimes, he doesn't stop.
He goes back to what he knows--armed robbery.
Finds a jewelry store and leaves his car outside Just in time to see matt hudson.
Exactly.
Alex, we have a situation.
He's back.
That guy jason-- He's come back looking for what he buried.
Louis, it's okay.
Take it easy.
Take it easy? What are you, high? People saw him.
He knows the box isn't there anymore.
He doesn't know that you gave it to us.
He thinks I'his iend.
He wants to kn if I know anything.
He left word with a guy who sleeps near me.
He said that he's back in the area.
He's coming back to see me.
He's in the area right now? Come on.
Okay, people, you got your assignments.
Suspect's name is jason burke, Last seen wearing a grey hooded sweatshirt and jeans.
This guy's killed once already before, So use extreme caution.
There's a photo if you need it.
Lieutenant? I'm detective russell.
Uh, anything you need? We're fine.
I got people positioned throughout the area.
If burke does show up, I want to be part of the takedown.
all units, heads up.
Subject is wearing a purple hooded sweatshirt And blue jeans.
I cannot seeis hands.
Be advised he may have a weapon.
On my call Takeim down now.
Go, go, go! Move! we have subject in custody.
break it up! All right, break it up now! Break it up! Hey, hey! That's not him! Burke's over here! He's over here! Oh! Aah! It's scary to think that your life can end Because you're in the wrong place at the wrong time Or be saved because you were in the right one.
Me? I never saw it coming.
I decided to stop living life Like there was no tomorrow, and then There was no tomorrow.
In the end, I died exactly how I lived-- So why did it happen? Did my luck run out? or was it meant to be? I'll never know.
But I do know this-- I didn't go out betting on a long shot.
I put everything on the surest thing I knew.
And now she knows.
She deserved to know.
My name is matt hudson.
I almost died today, And I keep thinking Why didn't I? Look, I, uh I was wrong.
I walked out on you that day, and I'm sorry.
That day at the vigil, I just I couldn't be there.
So I've been thinking.
And if you're ready to give me a second chance I think I'm ready to give you one.
If I flipped a coin a hundred times, I'd be right at least 75.
But even with all the luck in the world, I still ended up here.
Maybe it was fate.
It happened for a reason Or maybe the luck I depended on just finally ran out.
Sorry.
I know I'm a little late.
Hey.
Hi, greta.
Thanks for coming.
Oh, sure.
This is Weird In a "I used to love this person.
Now I'm meeting them for coffee" sort of way.
Uh, one of the reasons I called is, um, I'm working on a new case.
It's a john doe.
He had this old coin foundon hi.
It's from the mid-1800s, so I thought maybe The museum archives might be able to-- Well, our specialty's art, not coins, alex.
You know that.
No, I know.
I know.
I just thought Maybe if you have a minute, you could take a look.
Um Yeah.
O-okay.
I'll see what I can do.
Thank you.
What's going on, alex? I Just, uh, I just wanted to talk to you.
About what? I don't know.
I mean, uh, A lot's changed, and I guess after seeg you, I just wanted to Reconnect.
I'm not ready for that yet.
I should go.
Bye.
Thanks.
Oh, oh, no, over here.
You said by the window.
Yeah, I know, but that's the space for creativity, And this is the bagua for skills a knowledge.
Bagua? It's part of feng shui.
It divides the home into nine life areas, Like prosperity, health, family.
What about a hernia? Is there an area for getting a hernia? Okay, just put it down.
I know we wanna increase The positive vibe in here, but we got some work to do.
I got the file from russell this morning.
We got a john doe, white male, late 20s.
oh, he was found in a car? A stolen car by the freeway.
The body was stuffed in the trunk about four months ago.
Our first mob hit--two to the back of the head, right? Actually, it was just one, and it was in the chest.
The car was stolen from the parking lot At riverside train station.
The owner parked there In the morning, took the "l" to work, Came back, the car was gone.
How far did the police get? Not too far.
There was no d.
N.
A.
Or fingerprint matches In the database for our doe.
I'm asking russell to double-check that, But he was wearing a fancy sport jacket and jeans.
It looks expensive.
With an outfit like that, he could've been shot Somewhere else and then driven to a run-down area.
It says here that they found john doe's wallet.
They did, but it was picke clean--no I.
D.
, no credit cards.
The only thing they found on the inside was this.
It's a photograph of a kid, Wearing a hospital gown.
It could be a family member.
It could be someone Who needs him, somee doesn't know Where he is, what happened to him.
We should check local hospitals, 'cause if we can find him, he could give us our doe's name.
I'll go.
Um, actually, candace, would you mind Checking that out with tyler? Walter, I want you to come with me.
Where? Back to where they found the stolen car.
I know the area.
If I'm right, it could be sort of dangerous.
I could use the backup.
Roger that.
Which brings me to this--it was found in our doe's pocket.
That's a silver dollar.
But this is not just any silver dollar.
The date on it is 1860.
Wow.
God, that means it's probably pretty valuable.
Well, I'll check it out.
Walter, let's hit it.
This is why we're here? It's a tent city.
There must be a hundred homeless people here.
Maybe one of them can help.
Yeah, well, shouldn't the cops handle that? They tried, but this is not exactly a neighborhood That trusts cops.
Are you up for this? No.
Yes.
No.
Okay.
Let's just run! It's the cops! Whoa, whoa, wait.
No, no, we're not cops! We're not Cops.
Who the christmas are you, then? Uh, I'm alex.
This is walter.
We're, um We're just trying to ask a few questions about a dead body That was found in a trunk nearby.
What happened to your leg? Got it caught in a door of my lamborghini.
I'm delores.
Guy in a car? Yeah, I remember the police asking about it.
Well, delores, Anything you could tell us, we'd appreciate it.
Kind eyes, this one.
I like him.
Delores, are you hitting on me? Because I am shocked At your excellent taste in men.
Wanna buy me dinner? Uh When? Whenever you want.
If I help you, You come back and buy me dinner.
Don't worry.
I see your wedding ring.
Sure.
He can do that.
Okay.
There's a guy who used to stahere--louis.
The night that car showed up, I saw him talking to the driver.
The next day, this place was crawling with cops.
And louis hasn't been back since.
I'm rry.
I don't think he was a patient here.
Are you sure? We've been to almost every hospital in the city.
Well, I can ask around, but I run the pediatrics ward.
If he was one of our patients in the last few years, I'd probably recognize him.
This is our john doe.
Maybe he looks familiar? No.
Is he related to the boy? Mr.
Riggs, I need you to sign these.
Hey, I've seen him before.
You have? Yeah, about four months ago, maybe.
He came to one of our orientation sessions.
It's for people in the community who wanna volunteer.
Asked a lot of questions about the cancer ward.
I always hated hospitals.
But that was where I needed to be.
Not because I needed help-- Because I wanted to give it.
You get his name? No, that's just it.
I only remember 'cause he never gave it.
After a 2-hour session, he left.
Never signed up.
Well, we were right.
This silver dollar is valuable.
It is worth just over 12,000 bucks.
whoa.
Yeah, and there is a legend for this particular coin.
Is it spooky? I just got off the phone with a coin collection expert.
He said the story goes that this coin was used by Abraham lincoln.
That's not spooky.
Used when? First night of the battle of gettysburg.
Mary td lincoln asked her husband If the union would win the battle.
So he flipped a coin? Lincoln called heads.
It came up heads.
A few days later, the union won.
Wow.
That is Ridiculous.
That is not ridiculous.
It's Romantic.
What's romantic? You know, the idea that We can't control what happens, That luck decides people's lives.
excuse me.
yeah.
Alex.
You asked us to double-check our doe's d.
N.
A.
, So we ran it again.
First time we got nothing, But this time, we got a hit.
Well, how's that possible? Apparently, some states use private labs to test d.
N.
A.
They can't upload results to the federal database.
Bottom line--a private lab in ohio just sent Years worth of d.
N.
A.
To the government for uploading.
John doe was arrested for assault five years ago.
His name's in the system.
How soon can you get here? I'm on my way.
That coin may actually be lucky.
We might have just gotten our john doe's name.
Ugh.
Something's not right.
I thought we had a name.
I thought so, too.
Okay, this is our doe, right? Mm-hmm.
He's a white male in his late 20s.
What's the issue? the d.
N.
A.
Is an exact match to the michael sacks in our system, But this is michael sacks.
Not much of a resemblance.
Michael sacks had a heart attack while his case was pending.
He died over four years ago.
Well, I'll tell you what happened.
John doe here has two sets of d.
N.
A.
I'm sensing a technical explanation.
Actually, itretty simple.
He got a bone marrow transplant.
At some point, he must have had cancer.
They obliterated his bone marrow with chemotherapy.
And the donor was michael sacks? Correct.
Michael sacks donated new bone marrow, And since bone marrow creates the red and white cells That form the blood-- they had identical d.
N.
A.
Exactly.
You test the blood, you get one result, But if you swab a cheek, you get another.
So can we track it? I mean, if he got a transplant, there must be a record.
Yeah, I thought so, but no.
There's a database for public donations.
We checked, but it's not on file.
So this wasn't a public donation.
No.
If you get bone marrow privately From a family member or friend, no national record.
Michael sacks was the key.
He made a bone marrow donation To a friend.
We just need to figure out who.
Was it luck? Was it fate? Either way, I was given a second chance at life, And nothing was gonna stop me from making the most of it.
So john doe had this picture in his wallet, And he was asking about how to volunteer at a cancer ward.
And now we find out that he had cancer? Correct.
Our john doe had a bone marrow transplant, But the cancer is just one piece of the puzzle.
What else do we know? I sent the wallet photo and john doe's sketch Out to the network.
We already got a few hundred tips.
It's gonna take a while to sort through.
And I'm still looking for louis, the guy delores told us about.
So far he hasn't show up at any of the downtown shelters.
Okay, lindsey? I'm gonna see if I can find anybody who knows michael sacks.
I have a few ideas where to look.
All right, I'll be back in an hour.
Where are you going? Uh, I asked an old friend to look into this lucky coin, And if there's a record of who owned this thing, She'll find it.
I thought you already looked into who owned the coin.
I did.
It was a dead end.
Who's this friend he's talking about? Hey.
Hey.
So I've been all over the historical forms online And the archives at the museum.
Any reference to the owner? Well, a reference, but no name.
It was bought in an online auction three year ago By an anonymous bidder.
Anonymous? But what I can tell you is that whoever bought it paid twice What it was worth to get it.
Here you go.
Greta, come on.
Just, whdon't you take a seat? Would you just talk to me, please? I mean, I'm right here.
I'm trying.
You really don't see it, do you? You weren't here when we were together, Not before our daughter was gone, And god knows not after.
That's not fair.
I mean, we were okay, But on lucy was taken, everything changed.
You know that.
You were gonna find lucy and bring her back, And so off you went-- for us! Yeah, that's right, except you stopped being my husband.
That last day we were together, we were at church.
We were at a vigil for lucy, And suddenly, you let go of my hand And just walked out.
Do you remember that? I'm sorry I wasn't there for you.
Truth is, I wasn't there for myself.
I didn't handle things well.
Clearly, I didn't handle things at all.
I've always known what we once meant to each other.
I have to go.
I ha a meeting.
Greta Yeah? Hey, I've got some good news.
I could use it.
I think I found a woman who knew michael sacks.
Her name is andrea hudson.
I called the precinct in ohio where he was arrested.
It took some begging on my part, But they dug up his old file, And she was his contact.
That is good news.
It gets better.
She is living in chicago.
She's on her way to the precinct To meet you and russell right now.
andrea hudson? Yes, yes.
Hi.
I'm detective russell.
This is alex donovan.
He works for the victim's rights group That's been assisting our investigation.
Thanks for coming in.
Of course.
Although, I have to ad I'm not sure why I'm here.
Well, you once knew a man named michael sacks.
Is that true? Yes.
We dated a long time ago.
This is about michael? As strange as it sounds, It's actually about michael's d.
N.
A.
We think michael was the donor of a bone marrow transplant.
We don't know how long ago.
Oh, it was 12 years ago.
Yes, michael and I were together then.
Great.
So you know who received that donation.
Of course.
Matthew.
Miael savehis life.
Matthew--that's his name? Matthew hudson-- he's my son.
Is he all right? When you've been through some tough times, And you come out the other side, It changes everything-- What you touch, how you feel.
It's not just about living.
It's about being truly alive.
I'm sorry.
We can take you to the medical examiner's office For official identification.
Matt had leukemia when he was 16.
By the time we realized, it was very advanced.
He had this photograph on him when he was found.
It's matthew, isn't it? He was down to about 100 pounds.
the medication wasn't enough.
He needed a bone marrow transplant, And even then, the doctors didn't think that he'd survive.
I was dating michael sacks at the time, And amazingly, he was the closest match.
So your boyfriend saved your son.
They said that matt's chances were less than a million to one, But somehow he made it.
Sounds like he was a tough kid.
He was lucky.
After that, um, it changed him.
Changed him how? He was the miracle kid, A living long shot.
He became obsessed with the odds involved.
All he cared about was numbers and statistics and-- He, uh, he had this coin on him.
Uh Some people consider this lucky.
That was him.
He was searching for things like that.
Some people he gambled on everything-- You know, pro sports, college, uh, even high school.
So you thought he had a gambling addiction.
He couldn't help himself.
Any chance he got to put his money on the long shot Like he was Mrs.
Hudson, when was the last time That you saw your son? On mother's day.
I-I didn't always approve of how matt lived his life.
The gambling was getting dangerous, and I told him so.
I-I wasn't close to him like I used to be.
But he always came to see me on mother's day.
Can you tell us anything about his life, where he was living? The last time we talked, He was working as a stockbroker downtown.
There was a girl.
I think her name was olivia.
Please.
He was my son.
I need to know what happened.
So this whole time we thought it was a family member, But he was carrying around a picture of himself.
I guess he kept it to remind him of what he went through.
Explains why he wanted to volunteer At a pediatric cancer ward.
Yeah, but not why he walked out.
That's true.
We still have a lot of questions to answer.
Matt hudson had a gambling problem.
Is that what got him killed? You think he owed someone money? Loan sharks! See, I knew this case had a mob connection.
At this point, we don't know what this case has.
So we're gonna attack it on two fronts.
First, we got matt's address from his mom.
Police ran it.
He was living with a woman named olivia hill.
Is that the girl he was dating? Sounds like it.
Maybe you and candace can go talk with her.
Second, russell and I are gonna stop by matt's brokerage firm.
Uh, walter, any luck finding louis, Our long-lost homeless witness? Mm, not yet, but keep hope aliv I'm having dinner with delores tomorrow night.
That's right-- the, uh, big date.
I would pay to see that.
mm-hmm.
Mm.
you guys worked as brokers together? Yeah, before he got fired about a year ago.
Matt hudson was sharp-- maybe best trader I ever saw.
He just liked to be more aggressive than the rest of us.
Are you saying he, uh, liked betting on the long shots? Right.
Great guy.
He just-- he took the luck thing too far.
It was-- it was almost o.
C.
D.
With him.
Are you saying he was reckless? His style wasn't for everybody.
Betting the favorite? Playing the sure thing? That wasn't my style.
I didn't want to lose my job, But life's too srt to play it safe.
At the end, he invested a fortune For a tech client named bob teague.
Took a legitimate chance.
It didn't pan out, But that guy was angry--came up to the office all hopped up, Saying matt went too far.
Olivia, we're so sorry.
We didn't want to tell you on the phone.
Matt and I broke up five months ago.
He moved out.
And we weren't talking, so I didn't know he was missing.
How long were you together? I loved him.
I still love him.
And I thought he loved me.
Can I ask what happened? He couldn't do it.
I wanted a life with him.
We needed to move to the next level, But matt didn't think like that.
Most people have to work to live in the moment.
That's all he knew.
Everything was temporary-- Where he lived, his job Me.
When he lost his job as a broker, He moved on to his next adventure.
He opened a 24-hour dry cleaning store.
Dry cleaning? Really? I know.
Re you angry with him? I loved him.
This just came in.
When matt moved out of olivia's apartment, he stayed at a hotel.
He never came back, so they collected his things.
One suitcase--I guess that's all you need If your life is temporary.
Everything at olivia's apartment was hers.
Nothing belonged to him.
Hmm.
This did.
It's the only thing he kept.
Hmm.
Not the only thing.
"50% off"? I'll get someone to voucher these And send 'em to the lab right away.
Grace, that's gonna take a while.
It's evidence, alex.
You know the protocol.
You stole that? You took evidence in a homicide? I took one.
The police had a dozen of 'em there.
Whatever happened to the brokerage firm? I thought we had a suspect.
Bob teague, the angry tech client.
Russell checked his alibi.
He was golfing in palm springs when matt was murdered.
Well, as far as I can tell, There is only one 24-hour dry cleaner in the city.
I think we should go there right now.
Uh, not me.
I gotta get up early for the junior class bake sale.
Okay.
Uh, walter's with delores.
Candace, tyler, you two up for a little field trip? Sure.
You sure about this? I mean, we could find a restaurant.
A restaurant? Nah.
They charge ya triple for the food Just to pay for the ambiance.
And in chicago, ambiance is free.
Mmm.
I'm having a good time.
Me, too.
You sure your wife won't get jealous? She might, if she even notices I'm out of the house.
Mm.
Listen, delores, not to get all serious on you, But if I can help you in any way-- I don't want your help, walter.
Just your company.
Fair enough.
Maybe you can help me.
Louis--the guy you told us about? I really need to find him.
if you see him, Will you take these, find a pay phone and call me? So now what? Well, matt hudson might be connected to this place.
it's just a dry cleaners.
Excuse me? Yes? Yeah.
Do you-- Thanks.
You guys ready? Uh Yeah, I'd say we're ready.
Just go on back.
The casino had action, excitement.
It was the hottest place in town.
My dream was real.
I thought all I needed was right here.
I've heard of these places, Never known they actually existed.
Well, we can't start showing a sketch around here, But we need to find out who owns the place--quietly.
feelin' lucky.
I'll take, uh, $500 in chips, please.
How do you want it? Oh, give it to me in 50s.
You can put it on my credit.
Sorry, sir.
The owner has to approve anyone playing on credit.
That's okay.
I'm a personal friend of matt hudson's.
He can vouch for me.
Matt doesn't own the place anymore.
Since when? Sir, I just turn cards.
Really? Well, then we have a problem, Because I had a deal with matt hudson.
I can't let you play.
Whoa, hold on.
We--we had an arrangement.
Because I had a deal with matt hudson.
He set up my account.
I ca now you tell me he's gone? You don't give me any explanation? Sir, I'm the owner.
Is there a problem? How did you find this place? Hey, judd.
We need to talk.
You lied to me, judd.
Now I know I'm not a cop, But I was with a cop, and you also lied to her.
What was I supposed to do, admit I own an illegal casino? I, uh, I see the dilemma, and I sympathize.
Really, I do.
Unfortunately, this was matt's casino.
So what did you do, kill him to take over his business? No.
If I start asking around here, am I gonna find out You became the boss right after he disappeared? But I didn't kill him, okay? I didn't kill him.
Okay.
Matt didn't know what he wanted to do, So he started organizing some poker games in the back.
After a while, he got the idea to expand.
Just like that, the two of you went from brokers to criminals.
When was the last time you saw him? he was here the day he disappeared.
He went to the safe, took out a lot of cash-- I don't know why-- put it in a bag and left.
He never came back.
I took that money to change my life.
To start something real for the first time.
But the second I did, I was dead.
I just didn't know it.
All I know is matt wasn't happy his last month here.
Ever since olivia left him, he wasn't the same.
--He wanted to get out, find something stable.
That's what he said? His words.
He didn't even take his full cut.
He would leave a package of cash, And a guy would come pick it up.
What guy? His name is clayton riggs.
I made him show me his I.
D.
The first time he came in.
The guy left with a lot of money.
Hey.
Clayton riggs.
Why do I know that name? Because tyler and I met him at the hospital He ran the pediatric cancer ward.
Why? Because riggs lied to us.
Matt hudson wasn't a volunteer there, But he was helping those kids.
Alex.
I don't understand.
How did you guys even find this place? Uh There is a story there, T, uh, you don't want to hear it, and I don't want to tell it.
Okay.
Well, I don't appreciate being kept out of the loop.
Look, I have another crime scene to get to, But when I'm done, we'll talk.
It wasn't intentional.
Look, this is obviously a very sensitive discussion.
I'd appreciate it if you keep your voice down.
You accepted cash from an illegal organization, Mr.
Riggs.
That's a little bit more than sensitive.
It's a felony.
so? What are you gonna do? I'm not a cop.
I'm not here to arrest you.
I just want to learn about matt hudson And what happeto him.
He was a patient here.
we treated his leukemia.
Then about five months ago, matt came in to see me.
He took an orientation to learn about our programs.
He wanted to help.
But, uh, not as a volunteer.
No.
He said he had money.
He said he had made it the wrong way, But he was changing things, And he wanted the money to make a difference.
So you took it.
I took it for the kids.
I spent it all on the hospital.
It only lasted a few weeks.
Matt would leave the cash at his store.
Last time I went by, matt wasn't there.
Neither was the money.
I didn't know he was dead.
You can judge me, mr.
Donovan, But these kids need my help And there's nothing I wouldn't do for them.
So russell is a little angry That we didn't tell her about the casino sooner.
She wants the cops to handle it from here.
Are you gonna tell her About the hospital taking matt's money? No.
If she finds out herself, she can do what she wants, But I am not gonna be the one who tells her.
So what do we know? Well, matt hudson was changing things.
It's possible he was getting his act together.
The big question is, what happened the day he was killed? We know he went to the casino.
He went to the safe, took out some money, but why? We need to figure out where he went.
Well, maybe this will help.
The police got matt's cell phone records.
I've been looking them over, And he made one call on the day that he died To a restaurant in glen park.
It's called the good elephant.
Mm, don't know it.
Yeah, I don't--I don't either.
But everything that matt did seemed to be about luck.
So maybe there's some meaning there.
I know that elephants are lucky in some cultures.
This is walter.
Hey.
Okay.
Okay.
Thanks! You're the best, delores.
She called.
Louis is back.
Should we call russell now? Let's just go.
H-he could take off again.
Come on.
I told them, louis.
The guy who was driving that car-- I saw you talking to him.
That is crazy.
She's crazy! Say that again, I'll put you in my shirt pocket and won't let you out.
The cops found a body in that car--a murder victim.
Now do you want to get involved with that? You know, forget it, alex.
Let's call detective russell, lock him up.
Okay.
He said his name was jason.
He slept here a few times.
I helped him out, showed him around.
He was homeless? Yeah.
To be honest, he was kind of angry about it.
He didn't like sleeping outside.
Said he was gonna steal a car to sleep in during the day.
Were you with him when he stole it? No, no, no.
No.
I saw him later that night, though.
He came in here carrying this bla leather bag.
And something wrapped up, I don't know what.
You didn't see it? No.
Saw what he did with it, though.
He took it down to the corner, found a place to bury it.
I guess he thought no one was watching.
Did you talk to him? No, not then.
But he saw me on the way out.
That bag Was full of money A lot of money.
I saw it.
Louis, whatever it was that he buried, we need to find it.
Can you show us where he was standing? Yeah.
Okay.
I can't get in trouble for this? No.
The bullets fired from the gun you found Are a match with the slug from matt hudson's body.
So we found the murder weapon.
You found more than that.
The lab said the gun was wiped clean.
The guy who left it was smart but not smart enough.
He never wiped down the bullets in the chamber.
So the lab found a print.
Just a partial, but it was enough, though.
His name is jason burke.
He's 40 years old And a violent, persistent felon.
This guy is all bad.
Specializes in armed robbery.
He's a stickup king.
He did 10 years of a 12-year sentence For robbing a gas station.
He shot the clerk in the shoulder.
Check this out-- he was paroled from state Four days before matt's body was found.
I just talked to the parole officer.
He said burke's gone.
A few days after he was released, He failed to report in.
There's an arrest warrant.
Somehow matt hudson crossed paths with jason burke.
But how? Yeah, he was here.
Well, we knew he called, but he actually came in the restaurant? We had an appointment.
He wanted to discuss all the arrangements-- A certain brand of champagne, a certain song.
He wanted all of it to be perfect.
He said he was gonna win her back, but he never showed up.
Win her back? We were under the impression the relationship was over.
Every couple got engaged here.
Everyone's still married.
Lucky table.
Uh, when matt left the appointment, Did he say where he was going? Not to me, but he did ask me to call him a cab.
Okayso matt hudson got in to a yellow cab When he left the blue elephant.
This is where he went-- Lakeview jewelers.
I lived my life like it could end at any moment.
But olivia said I needed to change or she'd leave me.
And when she was gone, hmm, it jolted I loved her.
I finally realized that I needed to stand still And invest in something permanent in my life.
We got here as soon as we could.
Okay, this is it.
Matt hudson was here at 5:15 on the night he was killed.
This is don mcguffey.
He's the owner.
Mr.
Mcguffey, there are the people I was telling you about.
Could you show them what you showed us? Sure, be glad to.
They showed me the snshot of your john doe.

This is the tape from the day he was in here.
Nice young man.
Came in looking for a ring, Something to make a big impression.
And you sold him one? Yeah, that's the thing.
He bought a ring.
All I had to do was resize it.
I remember this one Because the boy paid me in cash.
Never came back to pick it up.
Can you freeze that? Sure.
Whoa.
That's--that's-- That's jason burke.
He was in the store at the same time matt hudson was? A career armed robber browsing a jewelry store? He was gonna rob this place.
Exactly.
But why risk robbing a store if you've got a guy With a bag of cash standing right in front of you? All right, so half the city is looking for jason burke.
If he's in chicago, we'll find him.
Jason burke gets released from prison.
He's got no money, no place to stay, So he starts sleeping at the tent city.
Which makes him angry, so he steals a car to sleep in.
Once he starts committing crimes, he doesn't stop.
He goes back to what he knows--armed robbery.
Finds a jewelry store and leaves his car outside Just in time to see matt hudson.
Exactly.
Alex, we have a situation.
