[DRAMATIC MUSIC]

Drop his w*apon!

Roy is gone, and you
gotta accept what happened.

The feds will put his face on the wall,

but they will never see or hear a thing.

Like it never happened.

But it did happen.

Now you got to make peace,
live your life.

Hailey, will you marry me?

Yes.

- Detective.
- Detective.

I got you something.

Hm.

So I guess I'll see you at home.

Mm-hmm.

Yo, you guys know

we all know you're doing it, right?

- Doing it?
- Doing it.

What's up?

Jay and Hailey are moving in together.

Tonight, I think, yeah?

I'm a trained observer.

You do know we all know
you're together, right?

Yeah, I'm aware of that.

What I don't get is
why that's a non-event,

but this is a thing.

We've been staying at each
other's apartments for months.

Well, 'cause then
you were just, like, doing it.

- Now you're doing it.
- It's the same thing.

Well, it's definitely
not the same thing.

For instance, did you know
that sometimes women

use the medicine cabinet
to store medicine?

Hailey, got a sec?

Let me tell you something right now.

I look around this room, you know what

the first thing I think is?

Here's a bunch of relationship experts.

Making some big changes in your life.

Yeah, I am.

We are.

Okay, apparently, the FBI got a tip.

Passed it onto CPD.

Seems a citizen spotted Roy Walton

at a hardware store in Dallas.

That seems unlikely.

Yeah, chances are,
the FBI knows it's not true.

They're just dropping it in our laps

to see who flinches.

Look, whatever it is,
I wanted you to know because...

[APPREHENSIVE MUSIC]

Now, more than ever, it's important

that we stay the course.

Do nothing unusual.

Say nothing to anyone.

Yep.

All units in the citywide,

bottle g*ng going at it,
th and Berkeley.


Armed robbery in progress,
South Drake.


Another one?

More calls coming in on Drake.

Reports of an expl*si*n, CFD responding.

Another one.

- Henry, plainclothes
officers responding.

Advise units to proceed
with extreme caution.

[INTENSE MUSIC]



- Henry and George on the scene.

Call's bona fide, keep the cars rolling.

Police, where are they?

- Took off towards Pulaski.
- Three of them?

Yeah, they're gone,
they blasted the doors,

- took the cash, took off.
- Getaway car?

Uh, four door dark, that's all I got.

They're over here.

Oh my God, help her! Please help her!

Okay, okay, okay! Okay.

- Oh, God! Get it out!
- No, no, no!

No, no, don't touch it, don't touch it!

If you pull it out, it could k*ll her.

What's your daughter's name?

Sydney. Sydney Rose.

Okay, Sydney Rose,
we got you, we got you.

Do you hear me? It's gonna be okay.

- George emergency,
roll an ambo to Drake.

I got got a tender age female.
She's got a projectile wound.

Advise Med, extremely critical.

Hey, it's gonna be okay.
Stay with us, stay with us.

It's okay.

[MOTHER CRYING]

Synced & corrected by -robtor-

- Same MO?
- Yeah.

We're pulling video to prove it,

but it's our robbery crew, definitely.

Same as the last three.

The armored car pulls up
to service the bank.

One of the offenders
pulls in front of them

with a truck to block
them in and then boom.

Two offenders pull up behind him,

blow the door before the guards
have time to engage.

They reach inside, it's grab and go.

Made out with grand, give or take.

We got a flash out on the getaway car.

Truck's hot?

Yeah, it's confirmed stolen
last night down in Chatham.

We're working on surveillance.

We recovered a coffee cup
on the console,

we'll see if anything pops.

It's going through DNA and prints now.

We'll find the route
that the armored vehicle

took to get here,
we'll pull traffic cams.

All right, do we know what kind

of expl*sives these guys used?

b*mb and Arson, they're
sending scraps and remnants

to Joliet, but it sounds like
they're pretty backed up.

Well, get up there in person,
light a fire under their ass.

We got blood in the street now.
Let's get on top of this.

[SUSPENSEFUL MUSIC]



How's the little girl?

She's out of surgery in Med,
touch and go.

All right, three men.

Body armor, big-ass weapons,
professional crew.

Everything's a match.

Body type, weaponry, MO.

This is definitely our crew.

Yeah, they use stolen
vehicles, torch them.

We got no footage of them
stealing the truck that they used.

And the prints on the coffee
cup came back to the owner

of the vehicle, he's happy
as hell to get his truck back.

Sends his regards.

We eliminated the possibility

of them having a man on the inside.

Every robbery has been a
different armored truck company.

Look, we got bombs going off
middle of the city,

broad daylight, all on video
more clear than I get

trying to watch the Sox.

So please, please tell me we're
not circling the drain here.

Oh, I don't think we are.

Joliet ID'd the expl*sive material

used in the robbery
as m*llitary grade C .

And the chemical footprint matches
a batch stolen from DF Tubbs.

The army base?

Army reserve. It's out in the boonies.

Yeah, these devices are
m*llitary style sticky bombs.

They go way back.

We used them to bust
into tanks in World w*r II.

Okay, so the robbers,

they build the devices a certain way.

The lab reverse engineers them,
and this is their best guess.

They take C , and they
pack it into the light bulbs.

Then they wrap the light bulbs
in these cotton socks,

then they dip the cotton sock
into this gunk.

It's... it's the sticky
stuff made from...

Boiled tree bark.

Yeah, that's right.

Juniper trees.

No, that's not right.

It's made from, um, hold on.

Eastern red cedar.

Which is not actually a cedar.

It's a juniper.

It's the only variation of juniper

that grows in Illinois.



They should be down in a sec.

And thanks a lot for coming our way.

You guys are doing us a solid.

Wouldn't mind some answers ourselves.

Not every day bricks of C
walks out the door.

I really, really hope that's true.

There you go.

Staff Sergeant.

Detectives, here's the list
you asked for.

The manifest of every
man and woman who was

on base the weekend the C was stolen.

- Whoa.
- That's the problem.

There were , airmen and personnel

from other services in and out of there.

We were doing a huge training exercise.

Probably not a coincidence.

That would have been the time
to do something like this.

We gave up trying to figure
out who ran off with it.

Yeah, sure, thanks for your time.

Happy hunting.

How are we gonna get through this list?
There's so many names.

I'm just looking for one.



Elliot Knox?

What, you know him?

Warsaj Kalay.

What?

Afghanistan.

Okay, so, outside of the Taliban,

there aren't many people
who would use this

exact recipe to make a sticky b*mb.

One of them is Elliot Knox.

The other one is me.

Knox and I did two tours
together in Afghanistan.

He was EOD.

His job was to disable
and defeat enemy IEDs.

We hit it off at first.
We're both from Chicago, and I thought

he was a good guy.

And then?

Turned out, not a good guy.

We scrubbed Knox.

He's had a hard time of it.

Divorce, bankruptcy,
bounced around a lot.

It was hard to pin down an LKA

'cause he's had trouble paying rent.

Doesn't have much of a sheet.

Nah, he was rolled up eight years ago,
for a five-finger discount.

He walked out
of a QuickMart with a hoagie.

That's it, clean ever since.

So I haven't seen this
guy in or years,

but he's a pretty good match
for one of our offenders.

This guy right here.

I'd bet almost anything
Knox stole the C .

He's making the bombs, and he's
using them to rob the trucks.

He know you're a cop?

There's no reason why he would.

All right, so let's track
him down, see if you're right.

Don't think we've met.

Halstead, th Rangers.

Alex Argrett, th Cav.

Hey, thank you.

Losing an arm?

No, man, for signing up to go some
place where you could lose an arm.

Glad you found us.

Yeah, actually, I've been
to this group a few times.

When I first got home.

I don't know why I stopped coming.

Welcome back then.

That true?

Jay really used to come here?

I don't know.

There he is. There's Knox.

Heavenly father, bless
and protect these veterans.

Gave so much for so many.

All right, here we go.

ALL: Not for kings.

Not for glory.

For the one next to me.

All right, let's get some chairs.

Halstead, it's Knox.

Knox?

Dude, small world.

Hey, bro, if you want me to split,

I can because I'm here all the time, so.

No, no, we're good.

I got past that a long time ago.

It's great to see you, man.

Thanks, yeah, uh, sit over here.

Yo, this is Ricky Halstead.

I haven't seen this dude
in forever and a day.

But no finer man to have
next to you in the sandbox.

[TENSE MUSIC]

Ricky?

Knox just called him
Ricky Halstead, right?

- Yeah, he did.
- What's that about?

I have no idea.

Couple old buddies
find each other in here.

You want to share?

Well, Ricky and I
did two spins together.

Kunar, Warsaj Kalay,

up and down the Korangal Valley.

And that... that's the valley of death.

And that's, you know, you know.

I got back from that so messed
up I couldn't eat spaghetti.

'Cause the noodles and the red sauce

looked like guts, you know,
and I wasn't alone.

Most of our guys got...
Got pretty messed up.

Everybody except Ricky.

And I mean, we were getting these

firefights, like... like, two,

three a day, RPGs flying in,
and Halstead is just...

[WHISTLES]

I used to think it's why
this guy became a sn*per.

Man, he doesn't have the same heart rate

as us mere mortals, you know?

Same body temp. Dude's...

Guy's like a reptile.

[LAUGHTER]

I mean it.

Later, men!

Hey, thanks, Alex, take it easy.

All right, man.

Yeah, Ricky, hold up.

Are you doing okay, bro?

There's got to be some
reason you came into the gym

today after all these years.

Yeah, I don't know.
It's been a hard time.

You know, I'm going through the process

of moving right now,
and I found some old photos

from when we were in country.

I guess it brought some stuff up.

Yeah.

Look, man, do you...
You want to hang out later?

I can bring the photos over,
you'd get a kick out of them.

We could, I don't know, whatever,

drink too much, talk about
our screwed up lives.

[LAUGHS]

Yeah, I think I remember how to do that.

All right, man.

All right, brother, see you.

All right, I'm on with Knox at :

at his house up near Loyola.

So two hours ago, an undercover
from b*mb and Arson

went for a little dog walk.

They had a canine
sniff around Knox's property

for any indications
of b*mb making material.

The dog gave a positive at a vent

coming from the basement, but passive.

Okay, not enough for a search warrant.

Right, so the plan is,
I'm going to gain access

to Knox's home.

You guys will be outside in support.

Hopefully, I find
some evidence and then...

Crash the party. What's the go word?

- Juniper.
- Good.

So we grab Knox, flip him,
and break this thing open.

Let's do it.

Jay.

What's the deal with this Knox guy?

He's something else.

You know I can tell you hate him, right?

No, I don't think about him at all.

It was kind of nice listening
to you talk about the army.

You never do, right, Ricky?

Don't call me that.

Okay, I'm sorry.

No, don't apologize either, just...

Just don't call me that.

Oh, wow.

I forgot about that pipe hitter.

- What's his name?
- Muldoon.

[KNOX CHUCKLES]

He's the who actually
thought the army handed out

Camaros when you finish boot camp.

He looks like it too. Look at his face.

I gotta take a leak.
You want a fresh one?

Yeah, yeah.

Bathroom's by the front door.

Oh, man.

[SUSPENSEFUL MUSIC]



[DOOR CLICKS OPEN]

The hell are you doing down here, Ricky?

Damn it.

Get frosty, looks like he got made.

Copy you.

Chaspaki mine, sticky bombs.

You still using juniper trees?

That's the go word, let's go.

[INTENSE MUSIC]



It's no business of yours.

What is all this?

I think it's time for you to go, man.

Dude, are you in some kind of trouble?

- Right now, Rick.
- Whoa, whoa, okay.

- Come on.
- Okay, man.

- Just move to the door.
- Okay, I'm going.

Chicago PD!

- Where are you?
- Back off!

Basement... basement!

Back up, get against the wall.

I'm a cop, you're under arrest.
Turn around.

Turn around, put your hands out.

Jay, you good?

We're down here!

Do not move.

This is what do you do now, huh?

You come into that gym,
you use everybody in there.

Then you come into my home
and you spit in my face.

It's a good fit for you, Ricky.

Lets you chase the past.

Got nothing to do with the past.

It's got nothing to do with me at all.

Yeah, God forbid somebody can't live up

to your standards, right?

- [PHONE CHIMES]
- Let's move.

You might want to rethink your approach

- before we get upstairs.
- Screw you, man.

There was a little girl at the
bank when the b*mb went off.

- She get hurt?
- She just d*ed.

How old was she?

Nine.

Name was Sydney Rose.

How'd she die?

Shrapnel.

The device you built k*lled this kid.

So you know what happens now, right?

Yeah, I think I can put
two and two together.

Okay, good.

Look, nobody was supposed to get hurt.

I swear to God that was all...

Listen, Knox.

The only reason
you're sitting here right now?

'Cause I want to hear your story.

I mean, I really want to hear it.

But let me tell you something.

One lie, one omission,

it's game over,

- you understand me?
- Yeah.

Is that you?

[SUSPENSEFUL MUSIC]

- No.
- No.

Is that you?

No, I swear on my mother's
grave this is not me.

Listen, I make the expl*sive
devices and then I sell them.

They do the rest.

Yeah, okay, they.

So who's they?

I don't know.

I don't know who they are.

Listen to me, I'll help you.

I'll tell you everything I know.

I meet one guy, and I sell to him...

Okay, what's his name?

Matthew Davis, years old, no priors.

According to Knox,
Davis is his only contact.

Mm-hm.

And all of Knox's alibis check out.

He wasn't at one damn robbery.

So Knox meets with Davis,
but he's not gonna be able

to testify that Davis
is one of the robbers.

Right, Davis buys the bombs.

Maybe he sells them to the crew.

We got a ping order in,
connect Davis to the robberies

that way, but other than that,
we got no proof.

All right, so bottom line.

We got zero evidence tying
any offender to any of this.

Sorry for the interruption.

The feds have now left three messages.

They're looking for you.

They want to confirm
all Roy Walton's vehicles,

make and model.

- Send them the case files.
- That's what I said.

And I'm pretty sure the new
round of fed boys can't read,

nor can they read my tone,
so please call them back.

Everything good, boss?

Yeah, they're just confirming
for their bulletins.

Okay, so we use Davis.

I mean, Knox is already
fully cooperating.

We have him reach out to Davis,
sell him some expl*sives.

We keep flipping on up.

All right, Jay, advise State's Attorney

- we got a cooperating defendant.
- Yeah.

Hailey, brief Knox, wire him up.

Before you meet up with Davis,

hold this button down,

and then this
indicator light will come up.

That's it.

Can you say something?

So you're Halstead's partner, huh?

Yep.

Guess you must know him pretty good.

Pretty good.

I love that guy, you know.

Even now.

We had a good thing, back in the day.

[SENTIMENTAL MUSIC]

What happened?

w*r happened.

I made a mistake, and it was bad.

One look at Ricky's face,
I knew it was bad.

It's the job, you know?

Puts you in these places
where the right thing

is wrong and the wrong
thing is... is right.

[PHONE BUZZES]

Matthew Davis.

[SUSPENSEFUL MUSIC]

- _
- _

_

So what happens now?

You go home, you wait.

You hope the crew
gets back in touch with you

or we find another way.

But above all else you
hope like hell I don't find out

that you tipped them off.

That's what you think happened here?

If you didn't, explain to me
why they pulled the plug.

Because I'm expendable, Ricky.

To the army, to these guys, to you.

You watch, soon as my use expires

you'll kick me to the curb.

I'm bringing you home, aren't I?

- You're free man, right?
- Come on, man.

We know the terms of my deal.

I get to stay a free man
if you find the robbery crew,

and right now, as nearly
as I can tell, you got nothing.

Shut up.

Get out of the car, go inside,
and you wait by the phone.

You answer it on the
first ring, you understand me?

You do anything stupid,
I'm gonna slap the cuffs

back on you myself.

Get out of my car.

Yes, sir.

Little harsh.

You don't know him like I do.

No, but he was making some sense to me.

Units on the citywide,

we have an armed robbery in progress.

Armored vehicle, North Park Bank,

Catalpa and Winchester.

You gotta be kidding me.

Go, go, go.

[INTENSE MUSIC]

[g*nf*re]

Get down!

Get down!

[PERSON SCREAMS]

- Henry, - , - !

sh*ts fired at the police.
We got one down.

Police coming up behind you!
Stay back, stay back!

We need ambo and cars now!

- Where's the other two?
- Gone!

They left his ass behind.

[TIRES SQUEAL]

You two behind me! Get behind the car!

- Hailey, I'm moving!
- Go! I got you!


Stay down! Stay down.



Stop the car!

Get out of the car now!

Get out of the car.

[DRIVER SCREAMS]

[INDISTINCT CHATTER]

- What do we got?
- MO's completely changed.

They didn't even try to blow the doors

off the truck this time.

Instead, they ex*cuted
a guard who was pushing

a cart of cash into the bank.

- That's why it went south.
- Yeah, it became a sh**t.

Two offenders managed to take off.

Third guy couldn't get to them,
so they left him.

Okay, so why the new MO?

Apparently, the companies
got together and decided

to add a third guard
to the back of the trucks.

It's a new policy that
they decided to announce

publicly as a deterrent.

That way if a crew blew
the truck from the outside,

then the third guard
can engage from inside

before they could get in.

Yeah, it's the only card
they had left to play.

Yeah, it makes sense.

It's more violent,
messier, but in theory,

it gets them in and out quickly.

All right, talk to me.

Our dead offender is Paul McBride.

, relatively short sheet.

But his cousin Cooper McBride,
he's a heavy hitter.

Cooper did six years for
pulling cartridges out of ATMs.

Now, he hasn't been heard
from since he got out,

but Cooper is six feet tall.

Which matches the body type
of one of our offenders.

I mean, it's got to be him.

It's got to be Cooper McBride's crew.

Yeah, except we still
got zero hard evidence.

All right, let's scrub
the bodies for DNA.

Hey, Sarge, Knox was a fail.

I say we sent him downstate,
we just start fresh.

Hold on, Knox was not a fail.

He didn't get made,
he didn't make a mistake.

The only reason
the robbery crew ghosted him

is because they stopped using bombs.

I think we should double down on him.

No way.

Look, you guys have your own history,

and that's what you're judging him on.

But these guys, this robbery crew?

They can't keep doing this,
they have to find a better way.

What they need is somebody to help them

with the third guard.

So what they really need is a sn*per.

Look, Jay, I get you got a problem

with this guy,
but unless you got another way,

Knox is it.

So what's it gonna be?

What the hell am I doing back here?

You arrest these guys or what?

New plan.

You're gonna introduce me
to Davis as a sn*per for hire.

You know how to find Davis?

Yeah, I mean, his family's owned the bar

for, like, a million years.

He's always hanging around there.

Can you get this done?

Well, the alternative is life in prison?

Yeah, I can do this.

Look at us, huh?

Brothers in arms again.

Let's clear something up right now.

You made the wrong call in Afghanistan.

So did I.

And I haven't forgotten any of it.

And I just hope to hell
that we're not making

the wrong call right now.

Everything's so black
and white with you.

Some of us aren't so lucky.

Just do this one right, you hear me?

- It's all I'm asking of you.
- I will.

I got your back, Ricky, I do.

[APPREHENSIVE MUSIC]



Matthew, how you doing, man?

What are you doing here, Knox?

I told you we ain't buying.

I'm not here for that.
And I'm not alone.

You kidding?

You don't bring people here.

Calm down, I saw what
happened on the TV.

I don't know what you're talking about.

- I'm trying to make a connect.
- You better shut up right now.

Me and him were in the army together.

The guy's a sn*per, best I ever saw.

I don't care who he is.

All right, okay, I get it.

But I don't think yelling and
grabbing your piece in a bar

- is gonna get you exactly...
- We own this bar!

How about he talks and you listen?

You can't risk blowing
the trucks anymore, right?

And this whole plan
you came up with of taking

the guard out point blank?

It's stupid, it's a mess,
so you're out of the game.

If you hire me, I can take him
out from , yards away.

You grab the goods,
it's over before they know

it started, and you
get to keep making money.

What, you do this for a living?

You're a professional sn*per?

No, man, I ain't a professional nothing.

I got back from the w*r with ability

and skills that don't translate to much.

Cut me and Knox in for a piece,
everybody wins.

[TENSE MUSIC]



Come on.

Prove it.

Prove what?

Prove you can take the sh*t.

See the truck?

Find the smiley face.

What, from here?

It's a quarter mile, is that a problem?



Where do you want it?

How about the left eye?

His left?

Sure.

He's not going to make it.

[LAUGHS]

You know what we do?

I've had my eye on a job.

It's a truck that services poker rooms.

Lands at a bank,
that's a hell of a lot of cash.

I didn't think we'd be able
to do the job, but with you...

You'll all be fine.

Great.

But if you miss the sh*t,
or if anything goes wrong

at all, we k*ll him, you understand?

I put him down like a dog.

I won't miss. Come on.



You talk to the Feds yet?

Yeah, like I said, it was nothing.

Just for the bulletins.

Where is he?

Roy's body.

Two b*ll*ts from my
service w*apon are in him.

No, they're not.

I policed your slugs, handled the rest.

It's done.

I have a right to know.

You don't need
another secret to hold onto.

Sarge, we have problems.

Go ahead.

TACT team says the
armored vehicle is on track,

they should be here any minute,

but there's no sign of the robbery crew.

They're late.

Just let it play.

Vehicle's not here yet.

That's not all.

Knox is at the crew's place.

Well, how the hell do you know that?

Because I put a tracker on his car.

I texted him to say
I'm in position at the bank,

I called, still nothing.

So either he's playing us,
or he got made.

All right, Adam, Kim,
you hold anchor here.

Jay, Kev, you're with us, let's go.

[INTENSE MUSIC]



- Knox's car is out front.
- Copy.

Jay, Kev, you hit the front.

Hailey, you got the left,
I got the right, let's go.

Copy that.

I got a body.

Hailey.

Yeah, hey.

It's Cooper McBride.

He was ex*cuted, close range.

They pulled out his fingernails.

Not they.

Knox.

- What?
- [g*nshots]

Sarge?!

Sarge, are you hit? Are you good?

I'm good!

Got a live one here.

Lobbed a few at me.

Show me your hands, real slow!

Come on out, drop it!

It's Davis.

Thank God, I thought you were Knox.

Please, help me.

[DAVIS GROANING]

- Clear, nobody else in there.
- Here.

Just hang tight,
ambulance is on the way.

Just tell us what happened.

We were packing for the job.

Knox, he showed up over here.

Walked up and sh*t me, left me to die.

Made McBride tell him where the money is

from the other job.

I don't know what
the hell he did to him.

McBride was screaming.

Where is he, where is Knox?

He took off in one of our cars.

- What car?
- It's some junker van. I don't know!

There's cars in and out
of here all the time.

Where's he headed?
Where do you keep the money?

[SUSPENSEFUL MUSIC]

Jay, Hailey, closing on your position.

Five minutes out.

I'm two minutes behind.

Crew's unit's down there.

It's open at both ends.

Why don't you drop me off around here

then go around the side,
and meet in the middle.



Get your hands in the air,
get on your knees now!

Hands in the air, Knox.

Hands in the air, now!

Drop your w*apon now
and get on your knees!

Drop your w*apon and get on your knees!

I've been on my knees a long time.

Put the g*n down.

I had my chance, I had to take it.

You k*lled a guy.

World's a better place because of it.

Doesn't work like that.

Right, you know how it works.

That's not for someone
like me to understand, huh,

'cause, let's just face it,
I'm just meat.

Put the g*n down.

Here, have this skill,
but don't use it like that.

And take this r*fle and k*ll
him, but don't k*ll him!

Put your w*apon down!

And come along on the robbery job, Knox,

and we'll just decide later if we want

to k*ll you like a dog afterwards.

But don't you think,
boy, don't you do that.

Don't you decide what's right
and what's wrong

and what's fair and who deserves what,

'cause that is for somebody else.

I'm going to say this one more time,

put the g*n down and get on your knees,

or I will k*ll you if I have to.

You feel that?

You do exactly as she says
and keep your mouth shut,

or the next thing that comes
out of it's gonna be a b*llet.

Get on your knees, now.

[g*n CLATTERS ON GROUND]

- Hands out!
- All right, all right.

Damn it, I wanted to help you,

Ricky, I... I really did.

- This just felt right.
- Get up.

- Henry, offender's in custody.

I'm sorry for holding things back.

I know I don't talk about
my time in the army that much.

It's not that I want to keep
anything from you, it's just...

You don't have to tell me anything.

You can, and I'll love you all the same.

[PENSIVE MUSIC]

"Ricky" is short for "Ricochet."

One day, outside the wire...

I sh*t a guy yards away

by bouncing a round off
of an armored Humvee.

My guys didn't think I could make it.

The name stuck.

And I liked it.

What about Knox?

He said he did something,
he made a mistake?

There was a guy in our
unit that everybody loved.

His name was Lopez,
and he couldn't resist

handing out candy to all
the local kids on base.

So the Taliban used a kid to k*ll him.

And Knox decided to take
matters into his own hands,

so he went out one night, off the books,

and he found the man responsible.

And he k*lled everyone in the house.

Everyone.

Knox wasn't charged, though.

He served out his tour.

Yeah, he covered it up.

He lied.

The truth is,
I could have done something.

I should have.

And I didn't.

I like that he told you it was
a mistake, though, that's good.

He probably believes that too.

It's insane what we tell ourselves.

And it was straight up m*rder.

It was m*rder and lies.



Well, confession can
definitely make you hungry.

You got anything you want to share?

I'm an open book, you know that.
