Saving Grace s03e05 Episode Script

Moooooooo

No, Gussy.
You gotta stay.
I know.
I'm sorry.
Tomorrow we'll G-O to your favorite place D-O-G P-A-R-K.
Promise.
We'll see your girlfriend Peaches.
Okay? If I could take you with me, I would.
Can't take dogs to Louie's.
- Shit.
- Guess who's awake.
Hey.
Earl? You're quick! Okay! Okay, okay! We're gonna have to do this again when Grace gets here.
All right.
To the best damn moving crew anyone could ever ask for.
We know you all had better things to do this week - so thank you.
- Nah! It's a great apartment! - Neighbors seem real nice.
- Nice or not, I kinda prefer my neighbors 80 acres away.
- Oh, then you're kinda screwed.
- Oh! Amanda! Amanda, Amanda, Amanda! Amanda! Amanda! I think you know everybody here except for Butch's fiancée, Kendra.
- This is my sister-in-law, Amanda.
- Rafe's wife.
I see you on the news all the time.
Congratulations.
- Oh, thank you.
- Sweetheart.
Hey.
Hey.
The novena for Rafe I didn't even know what that was.
I had to look it up.
- Just prayers.
- For nine consecutive days.
Thank you.
So No pressure, but, um, this is my first night out since Rafe died so y'all better show me a good time.
All right.
Last time we talked, you spoke English.
Perfect English.
Shit.
Don't move.
There's a tarantula on your head.
It's just a phone.
It's okay.
Yeah? Address? Okay.
I gotta go.
But I'll be back tomorrow.
- Ronnie, here you go.
- Oh, right on.
Where's Grace? Hospital.
Coma girl.
- Oh, shit.
- What? Well, I loved my brother and I miss my brother but she's gonna play Rafe's favorite song over and over.
There it is.
What did I tell you? I hate this song.
# My, my, my, my, my, my, my baby # Yeah? - Yeah.
- Ham - Okay.
- Don't worry.
We'll keep Amanda occupied.
- There goes our weekend.
- Someone's weekend's gonna be a lot worse than ours.
# Will be all right # # Everything will be all right # # 'Cause even when you're Even when ## Moo! #So pretty and, oh, so bold # # Got a heart full of gold on a Ionely road # - # She said, "I don't even think that God can save me"# - # Save me # # Am I gaining ground Am I losing face # # Have I lost and found my saving grace # # Thankful for the gift my angels gave me ## Perry's talking to Larceny.
Larceny's talking to Animal Control.
I'm not sure bovicide's our jurisdiction.
Shell casings everywhere.
Looks like the gun was a.
45.
And someone had a party.
Patrol said 911 call came from teenage boys.
Maybe they were out cow tipping, got bored.
How much we looking at, Butch? Over $40,000 worth of U.
S.
D.
A.
prime beef all from Lazy 7 Ranch.
There's a meatpacking plant four or five miles up the road.
- Could have been headed there.
- Could have been busted out of there.
- Some animal rights group maybe.
- Yeah.
Who kills the cows? Dead cow central.
Yeah.
Okay.
Thanks.
They gave it to Larceny.
Grace? Has she stopped talking? I got here at 5:30.
She hasn't said a word since.
Good morning.
That's what she's been saying.
But this is different.
- She's trying to communicate.
- What do the doctors say? Same thing nurses say the brain's a mysterious thing.
It's not Spanish.
I'm thinking Galician or Portuguese.
I'm thinking it's Earl's version of a practical joke.
Something about popcorn.
Okay.
I heard "papa" and "milhu.
" That translates to "pope corn.
" Shit.
Who do we know speaks Portuguese or Galician? Larceny found the body at daybreak.
Cows were killed what? A mile up the road.
Same road.
- It's gotta be connected.
- Means we got two crime scenes.
Who wants the cows? - Think it's a dump? - Yeah.
This amount of blood was passive.
And there's no exit wound.
But I can feel a projectile just under the surface of the skin.
His thumb's broken.
There may have been a struggle.
No shell casings, but I found fresh tire marks.
Let's turn him over.
One, two, three.
Shit.
- You could say that again.
- Shit.
There's a small Hasidic community about three miles from here.
They run the meatpacking plant, pretty much keep to themselves.
It rained all day yesterday.
How long's he been dead? - If he is Hasidic - lf? What else could he be? Come on, Henry.
Talk Yiddish to me.
The Hasids have very strict rules about touching a body.
And I got very strict rules about solving a murder.
Get his liver temp.
Guys, we gotta know how long he's been dead.
Get the temp.
Yeah, Butch? Repeat that? Okay.
That's a rabbi coming.
- In Hasidim, it's "rebbe.
" - "Rebbe"? Rebbe Jory Quecksilber.
He's looking for his friend who's been missing since last night.
Whatever you do, don't touch him.
Mae had to do a report at school.
Hasids can speak to women.
But he won't look you in the eyes unless you're family.
Don't touch him.
- What's with the things? - Curls? It's one of their customs.
- What? "Thou shalt not cut your sideburns?" - Facial hair.
I have an uncle in L.
A.
who's Hasid.
Today's the Sabbath.
That's why he's walking.
- They don't drive on the Sabbath.
- Henry? Get the temp.
Take it! I'm looking for Benjamin Weinstein.
Hebrew prayer book.
No name inside.
Aren't they supposed to wear hats? Yes.
He's been dead about 11 hours.
That puts it last night around 8:00.
You okay, Henry? - The rebbe's gonna want to attend the autopsy.
- What else is he gonna want? The body within 24 hours and a restricted autopsy.
You better run that shit past Perry.
- Right.
- Aren't they in temple all night on Fridays? Not all night.
8:00.
He should have been home for Shabbat dinner.
Am I the only Jew you know? - Pretty much.
- Couple of D.
A.
's.
- Cody Greenblat moved to Dallas.
- Excuse me.
Hey, the rebbe I.
D.
'd the body as Benjamin Weinstein.
He was last seen leaving temple last night around 7:00.
He never showed up at his daughter's house for supper.
- Did she file a missing person's report? - Yeah.
2:15 this morning.
A bunch of men looked all night, all on foot.
That's when the rebbe came across the dead cattle.
Excuse me.
I need to speak to Benjamin's daughter.
We'll notify his family, sir.
What does he think happened to his friend? He thinks Benjamin was praying and stumbled across the wrong gentile.
Rebbe, can I walk back with you and ask you a few questions? What is your emergency? I see dead cows.
Please speak up.
What is your emergency? I see dead cows.
Dude, give it here.
Hang up.
Hang up before they can trace it.
Operator traced the call to Lance Iverson, freshman at Madison.
- Patrol's bringing him in.
- Obviously an honors student.
Good morning.
Got some doughnuts.
Ah, you the man! - I'm starving.
- Fantastic.
I hear you're all searching for a hat and a gun out on Highway 74.
Yeah.
And I think we need you out there.
Support could use your help handing out food and water.
Listen, you could meet up with academy recruits and your fellow Explorers.
- Thank you, Captain Perry.
- You kidding? After the bravery you showed around here a few weeks ago, I want you on the front line.
Cool! See you, Clay.
Cow timeline The cattle were picked up last night at 5:00 p.
m.
at Lazy 7 Ranch.
Supposed to be delivered to Aaron & Sons Meats off Highway 74.
Cattle never made it.
They died here they were gonna die anyway.
Anybody inspect these cows to make sure they weren't diseased? I had my vet come out.
He said the cattle looked fine advised we do a few necropsies just to be sure.
Lazy 7 Ranch is a family-run business.
Larceny hadn't spotted any red flags, but we're following up.
- Okay.
This shit happen often? - Uh, ranch wars, feuds but no true rancher would ever hurt an animal out of revenge.
Who transported these cows? Deep Fort Transport Company out of Altus employs the driver.
Wayne Wilson, no record.
Been with the company for 18 years making the Friday delivery to Aaron & Son for 16 years.
Should have dropped off the cows at 8:00.
What happened when he didn't show up? Nothing.
Plant's closed from Friday evening to Sunday morning.
Wayne just puts the cattle in a pen, signs the time, and he's done for the day.
Larceny put out a BOLO for Wayne and his truck.
He's not picking up his cell phone.
No answer at his house.
- Well, he's either dead, injured or guilty.
- Mmm.
Who owns Aaron & Sons? Mmm.
"Tavi" Edelstein.
- "Tavi"? - T-O-V-I.
I think that's pronounced Tovi.
Well, let's talk to him, see if he's heard from Wayne Wilson.
You know, an 18-wheeler just does not disappear off the face of the Earth.
Enjoy your walk? Any idea who would do this, Esther? No.
Any idea why your father was walking down Highway 74 last night? No.
We found this near his body.
Tatte's prayer book.
Your father have any connection to the meatpacking plant Aaron & Sons? - He used to work there.
- Why'd he quit? He retired.
Is it okay if I look around? How come your father has two refrigerators and two stoves? The Torah tells us not to boil a kid in its mother's milk.
We don't mix meat and dairy.
Ever heard of Wayne Wilson? He's a truck driver.
He's been delivering cows to Aaron & Sons for 16 years.
No.
Benjamin was last seen leaving temple at 7:00 p.
m.
Rebbe gave me the names of everyone there.
He was supposed to walk to his daughter Esther's house.
What made Benjamin head north instead of south? I thought temple was supposed to last all night.
Me too, but on Friday it starts at sunset, goes for less than an hour.
That means that Benjamin left early, 'cause sunset last night was at 6:46.
So he leaves temple.
He's on foot.
Ends up dead 2.
6 miles from the meatpacking plant, 1.
3 miles from the dead cattle.
He couldn't walk that far by 8:00.
He have a car? Yeah, but they can't drive on Sabbath or use a phone or turn lights on.
- What, they can't turn on lights? - The Sabbath is about resting.
So this is work? I don't know, man.
Something about lighting a fire.
Let's compare Benjamin's tires to the tracks Rhetta found at the scene.
Benjamin could have crossed paths with the cattle killer.
And the cattle kittle Cow The cattle The cattle The cow killer took him out too.
Maybe someone had a beef with Aaron & Sons.
Okay, the son who owns the meatpacking plant now is Tovi Edelstein.
Rebbe said he and Benjamin were close.
Bobby and Butch, stay on the cows.
Ham, you and Grace, Benjamin Weinstein, womb to tomb.
- And shivah.
- Shivah.
Shalom, brother Gusman.
You're very handsome in your yarmulke.
That's Portuguese for "Hey, how you doing?" Rhetta has her ways.
She's gonna translate what she's saying.
You will not stump me, Earl.
What do you know about Hasidic Jews? You got a couple hundred years? Would a Hasidic Jew - ever go without his hat on the Sabbath? - Nope.
He'd wear some kind of head covering out of respect for God.
Reminds him there's a higher power than his own limited mind.
You meet a new fella? He Hasidic? Yes.
His name's Benjamin.
How about temple? Leaving early how big a deal is that? This ain't about some new fella.
It's about some case.
How is their Sabbath different from church on Sunday? - Jesus Christ.
- Besides him.
Different rituals, different prayers.
Giving thanks for your blessings and enjoying a good meal.
- I love their potato pancakes.
- They're called latkes.
- What do you think? - Doesn't really fit you.
- You don't like it? - No.
And I don't like you not looking me in the eye either.
If you want to look like a Hasidic girl, you gotta cover your elbows.
- Thanks for the tip.
- You going to shul? Plan on interrogating people of prayer? Well, I'd interrupt mass if I have to.
Yeah, I'm going to shul.
Well, I hope you get something out of it.
Me too.
Like a murderer.
- You ever been to temple before? - No.
I thought it'd be bigger.
Me too.
I thought there'd be pillars, you know? God's chosen people.
Can't this wait until after Shabbat? I'm sorry, Rebbe.
No disrespect, but we are investigating a murder.
Is Tovi Edelstein here? I wasn't driving.
Mitchell Montgomery was driving.
He's 17.
He's got a license.
And he wasn't drinking.
He was sober.
When my parents get back, you're not gonna tell them about this, are you? Uh, I may tell your parents now, Lance.
Phones work great in France.
I just gotta wait and see how much bullshit you try to feed me.
None.
I swear.
We all saw them at the same time.
Looked like piles of dirt in the road.
Had to get right up on it to see it was cows.
It was like a horror movie.
Write down the names of everyone who was with you last night.
- You got your phone on you? - Yes, sir.
Why aren't you writing? We didn't kill those cows.
We found them.
I called you.
You see anyone else out off Highway 74? No, sir.
Let me see your phone.
I'm here to ask questions too, Detective only of God.
I don't understand any of this.
You understand why 30 cows supposed to be delivered to your plant were killed? No.
- You got any disgruntled employees? - No.
What about with your beef? Our beef is sold across the world.
Best kosher meat you will ever find.
How you doing, Esther? I know who you should talk to.
I thought about the dead cows some more.
Tatte worked for Aaron & Sons for 30 years.
He was a meat inspector.
- That's an important job? - Yes.
Let me run ahead on this prayer, and then I can talk to you, okay? Okay.
Tatte didn't want to retire.
The rebbe made him, and Tatte followed the rebbe's order.
But the new meat inspector Tatte wasn't happy with his work.
In fact, he was pissed.
Benjamin sees you doing something that isn't in accordance with Jewish law you're gonna hear about it.
He'll correct you.
My son he's four.
- Cut off his payess.
- Oh, my God.
Is he okay? Of course.
They'll grow back.
- What did he cut off? - His payess.
Curls.
Benjamin was upset.
So was I, but it's not the end of the world.
Was Benjamin upset last night? His prayer book Please, may I have it back? I translated the Portuguese.
She's praying.
- To God? - No, to Barry Switzer.
"Help me, your daughter Yemaja with blessings of popcorn and hominy.
" Something, something, and then it goes on "Giving hope to the hopeless and surrendering to God.
" - Her name is Yemaja.
- And she's praying! I just I think that's beautiful.
Okay, what are you doing? - Nothing.
- Mmm.
I talked to this guy at the Portuguese embassy.
He sounded sexy.
I faxed him her photo and mine.
He invited me to the Azores.
- The Azores.
- Well, before you go packing your bikini I've got something pretty darn interesting to show you.
Several fabulous prints off the prayer book.
None of them match Benjamin.
That's interesting item number one.
Wow.
Two This is his shirt.
- He was wearing this underneath.
- Jewish wife beater.
Tzitzis.
Tzitzis.
I wonder if people think we're weird.
Oh.
Duh! The popemobile.
Duh! The pope.
Both of Benjamin's shirts have two kinds of blood on them his own and Yeah.
Cow blood.
I freaking guessed! I freaking guessed! Give me the science.
This was the bullet taken out of Benjamin.
These are the bullets out of the cows.
Same gun fired them all.
I tested Benjamin's hand.
Found residue.
Hoo-hoo! We have been way too polite, people.
How could we not run a gun check on Benjamin, you know? What's he own? Compact.
45 Smith & Wesson Chiefs Special.
- Had it eight years.
- See, that changes everything.
Yeah.
Benjamin wasn't out there to pray.
He was out there to kill the cows.
- Yeah, but why? - In his mind, there was something wrong with them.
They weren't kosher.
So who kills Benjamin the kids with the hat? They see a crazy old man out there shooting cows.
Some kind of shit goes down.
They struggle, gun goes off.
- Why call the cops? - Yeah, why? Love Earl's.
Yeah! Best barbecue in the city! - Whoo-hoo! - Whoo! - Whoo! - Whoo! Thought you were with the search party.
Came back for the lunch run.
I'm going back out.
You guys need anything else? No, man.
We're cool.
What about Wayne Wilson, man the truck driver? That's the dude we gotta find.
Have you talked to his family? Anyone worried about him yet? No family.
He's not due back at work till Monday.
- Who? - The truck driver Wayne Wilson.
His credit card was used this morning at the Pink Lady in El Reno.
- Perry stepped up patrol.
- What did Wayne have against Benjamin? Besides shooting his load? - The cows.
- Did Wayne even know Benjamin? - Of course he knew Benjamin.
- Yeah, but Esther didn't.
- Esther didn't work with Wayne.
- Neither did Benjamin.
- Did so.
- Did not, man.
The Hasidims don't work with goyim.
- They don't fraternize with goyim.
- Unless they have to.
- Kind of like Sooners and Longhorns.
- You know what? Stop.
If we want to solve this case, we got to understand this religion.
All right.
Jews follow 613 commandments, man.
I can't even follow 10.
A lot of their rules have to do with food.
You know, catching it, killing it, cooking it.
- Hmm.
- You know.
Benjamin had two stoves, two refrigerators so he could keep meat from the dairy.
- Keep them kosher.
- To the extreme.
Gotta be why he was upset with the new inspector.
- That's the "sho-ket"? - The shohet, yeah.
- Shohet.
- He's the one, you know slaughters the animal humanely so it doesn't suffer.
And then someone approved by the Kosher Authority used to be Benjamin he inspects the meat.
- Who is it now? - David Weinberger.
Hired by Tovi Edelstein three months ago.
- Slaughter humanely.
- Boneless ribs.
How is that possible, man? I'll show you.
Anybody got a big, dumb animal handy? Oh, Bevo will do.
You can never come back from this, Grace.
- Look at this.
Okay.
- Grace! - Don't do it! - These are Oh.
All right Oh, wow.
Look at that.
Very sharp too.
- No.
- Oh.
Uh-huh.
Uh-huh.
Uh-huh, uh-huh, uh-huh, uh-huh.
Okay.
Okay.
You sever the neck in a split second.
- Whoopsie! Ooh.
- Ooh! - Take that, man.
- You drain all the blood.
Ooh.
Big, white, fluffy clouds of blood.
Ooh.
And then the meat inspector checks to see if it's kosher.
Mmm.
Oh! Now that's kosher, boys! - Are just dead.
- What are you doing? - Amanda.
- Is that Rafe's shirt? What are you What are you doing? Why are you wearing his shirt? - Threw it on at Ham's.
I'm sorry.
- Give me - Give me Give me Give me - I'm sorry.
Nicky's gonna stay with the kids at your house as long as you need, all right? I want you to get some sleep.
I'm so sorry, Ham.
It's okay.
It's okay.
No, it's it's not.
Your whacked-out sister-in-law making a scene.
And I know how you feel about Grace.
Please tell her I'm sorry too.
No, it's okay.
She understands.
She understands.
- How do you do it? - What's that? How do you smile so much? I pray every night I wake up, and he's sleeping right next to me.
He's not coming back, Amanda.
- You can't wake up if you never go to sleep.
- Hmm.
I'm so tired.
Hey, Rafe ever tell you about the time he couldn't sleep? Man, he was a vampire.
He was up every night till dawn.
You know, and Mom tried everything warm baths, singing, reading.
Even put whiskey in his milk.
Nothing worked.
I mean, nothing.
Then one night I was on the rocking chair, and Rafe climbed up and within four rocks, he was out.
And from then on, I was his nightly rocker.
That is so sweet.
How old was he? Sixteen.
Are these Rafe's clothes? Yeah.
I was, uh, gonna bring them to Goodwill but I'm keeping his OU jersey.
Oh, it stinks.
Smells just like feet.
I always hated this thing.
He was so proud he got it for free.
I was gonna tell him to stop wearing it.
Well, tell him now.
He's-He's right here.
You put Rafe's ashes in a beer can? Yeah.
Here.
I should get some sleep.
All right, all right.
Tatte thought that Tovi cared more about his profit margin than about Jewish law.
Yeah.
And Tovi thought that Tatte was a pain in the ass.
And your father was mad.
Mad enough to kill 30 of his cows? Oh, no.
Tatte would never do that.
He did, Esther.
He shot the cows.
He had to reload five times.
Oh, Tatte.
You're Ba'al Teshuvah.
One who has returned.
I left when I turned 18.
I, uh I came back when I was 22.
- How'd the tat go over? - Tatte wanted to kill me.
All this must seem crazy to you.
No.
Yeah.
A little.
You miss your freedom? Bacon? - I don't have time, Grace.
I have a husband and seven kids.
- Oy.
The men can keep their businesses and careers.
- Women build the future.
We raise the children.
- Yeah.
We've been looking all over for you, Wayne.
- You been hiding out? - Shit.
Well, you would too, you seen what I seen.
And I read the paper.
I didn't kill that crazy old Jew.
- I don't even know who he is.
- How is that? You used to work at the meat plant.
That's why I took the Friday shift.
Only time them Jew boys ain't around.
If you didn't know him, how'd you know he was crazy? Stand in the middle of a highway like one of The Supremes? Scared the piss out of me.
I figured someone was hurt.
I should have run him over.
I get out.
He come up, pointing his gun, make me open up the truck.
Cattle start coming out, he's pointing and shooting and singing.
- Sounds pretty crazy to me.
- Why didn't you call the police? I called Tovi.
I went over to the plant.
Figured he'd call the cops.
- You called Tovi last night? - Yeah.
And he answered? My phone.
Check it.
You said this Jewish man was singing when he shot the cows.
Saying something about the president.
Kept saying, "Barack! Barack!" Barukh ata Adonai Eloheinu melekh ha-olam - Now what's he doing? - Guarding the body.
He can't be left alone until it's buried.
Twenty-third Psalm.
Takes me way back.
- What are you doing here? - Do you believe in prayer? This about the girl? We can talk later.
- I asked you a question, Grace.
- I'm doing my job.
Well, so am I.
Welcome to Brazil.
They call this the Room of Miracles.
This is where you brought Yemaja.
Who? What's with all the body parts? Plastic and wax replicas.
Put up whatever ails you, countless voices pray for your recovery.
Wow.
Anyone I know? - Anyone she knows? - Just some folks helped by prayer.
This is a cool room.
- I need to go back to work.
- First, I want an answer.
- Shit, Earl.
- It's an old candomblé blessing.
African slaves used to do it.
- Does Ham know I'm gone? - All kind of prayers.
Popcorn prayers, Hebrew prayers screaming, cussing, questioning.
All prayers.
Prayers in here may be important.
You know, "Please let me score a touchdown.
" "Please let me find a parking place" What about that crap? You don't think God can handle the big and small? Some dope prays for the light to turn green same time a family's praying for their sick baby? Light turns green, baby dies.
Why doesn't he save the baby? I don't know.
God makes the decisions, not our desires.
Really? God makes the decisions? - Yes.
- So Okay.
God God decides to kill six million Jews machete a million Africans? God decided to give y'all a choice.
The people who gassed six million Jews or machete'd one million Africans made that call.
But God's the decider.
He could have stopped them.
He can do anything he wants.
He could have created each one of you to worship him but what would be the fun in that? He wants you to come to him on your own to pray because you want to.
But why would I pray for someone who stands by and does nothing when he could do everything? Is that what you want? If God did everything, then what would you do? Dance.
Laugh.
The same things I've always done.
Dancing's always been one of my favorite prayers.
I still don't see the point in prayer.
It prepares you to see God in any situation.
I don't feel it.
Not the kind of prayer you're talking about.
What do you think summoned me? Thy kingdom come, thy will be done on Earth as it is in heaven to a world that lives only in our memory Why did your people arrest Tovi? We didn't arrest him.
We, uh We're questioning him.
This is harassment.
You need to let my people grieve.
One of your people may be responsible for a man's murder.
God's justice requires that we follow Jewish law.
Tomorrow, we start to sit shivah seven days of uninterrupted mourning.
Are you asking me to put this investigation on hold for a week? - Yes.
- No.
Gentiles will never understand.
We're not here to please you, Captain.
We're here to please God.
In this case, we're here for Benjamin.
So, please.
Let me, uh, help you with the door.
Oh, shit.
S-Sorry.
Excuse me.
We bury the prayer book with the deceased.
May I have it back for Esther? So that Benjamin is buried according to Jewish law.
According to Oklahoma law, all items have to be entered into evidence.
I'm sorry, Mr.
Quecksilber.
Tovi Edelstein asked for a lawyer and Mitchell Montgomery's tires do not match the tracks at the crime scene.
- There's no blood in his car either.
- We gotta cut him loose.
Listen.
Tovi violated the Sabbath by using the phone.
That's a huge deal, right? As an emergency They can use the phone in an emergency.
No.
Still, Tovi's car is the one I'm interested in.
What's he drive? A Chevy Impala.
Rhetta said we're looking for a GM vehicle.
The new inspector, David Weinberger what's he drive? Got nine kids, drives a Ford minivan.
Seventeen people alibi him Friday night at 8:00.
Tovi we've got enough for a warrant on his phone and his car.
It's so cool how they do the search grid! They didn't find the gun, but they did find a Hebrew prayer book in Grid 17.
It was about a mile from your body dump.
- Rhetta's got it down in her lab.
- Hey, man.
- Ham didn't even know you were gone? - Never mentioned anything.
- And he didn't see Earl? - He never mentioned anything.
- Just try.
- I don't think I can.
- You have to.
- I can't.
l Just try.
Holy.
Sorrowful.
Glorious.
Like Earl pulled back the veil, and I could hear the whole world praying.
- Oh, my gosh.
- It was wild.
He revealed the power of prayer to you in Brazil and Yemaja is praying in Portuguese.
Think I'm supposed to go to Brazil? I think you're supposed to pray.
- Hey.
- I interrupt something? They found Benjamin Weinstein's prayer book.
I had the Hebrew translated.
It's his name.
Shit.
Where'd they find it? Buried in a trash can at a gas station on Western and Highway 74.
Is that the one found near his body? Yeah.
Still can't match the prints on it.
- Check Tovi Edelstein.
- Already did.
He got arrested for drunk driving a few years ago.
What about with the tires? Were you able to narrow it down at all? GM what? We got P225/60R16 tires with a 113.
8- inch wheelbase.
Most likely Buick of some size, maybe 10 years old.
- Shit! - What? You run the vehicles of everyone belonged to that temple? Yeah.
What happened? We know you're a man of God.
We know you didn't mean to kill Benjamin.
I was raised Catholic, so we have that whole guilt thing in common.
I know this has got to be eating you up inside.
- You violated the Sabbath last night.
- Twice.
First time to take a call from Tovi at 7:42.
- You spoke for 43 seconds.
- How did you get my phone records? You drive a 1999 Buick Park Avenue Your tires match the tire tracks at the crime scene.
That gave us enough for a warrant.
We're towing it from our parking lot to our garage so we can see if Benjamin's blood's inside.
We have a warrant for that too.
Second time you violated the Sabbath you drove out to meet Benjamin.
Did you go to try to reason with him? - Benjamin wanted more meat to pass inspection.
- And you wanted peace.
And Jewish law is open to interpretation.
There's no reasoning with Benjamin.
What happened? You find him walking toward the meatpacking plant? - He was so upset.
He got into your car.
- You yelled at Benjamin.
- For killing the cows, man drawing attention.
- Benjamin yelled back.
"You did nothing nothing to stop bad meat from passing inspection.
" - Things got heated.
- You didn't mean to kill him.
You didn't even mean to touch him.
But you wanted to take the gun away from Benjamin.
You grabbed it.
So hard you broke his thumb.
- Benjamin tried to take the gun back.
- The gun went off.
- You must have been so scared.
- So you started driving.
You pulled over, pushed Benjamin out of the car.
That's when your prayer book fell out.
We thought it was Benjamin's, and you knew that, which is why you asked for it back.
Because you thought if you could bury it with Benjamin, you might get away with it.
Be able to keep the peace.
The Torah says "Whoever destroys one life destroys the world entire.
" How are you gonna live with that? What have I done? What have I done? Help your people, Yemaja with blessings of popcorn and hominy.
Mother of all living things we ask you to give hope to the hopeless that we may surrender to the amazing power of God.
Guide us, Yemaja.
Help your people, Yemaja.
