Got in rehab and we fell in love

and there you go.

Was she the only one in rehab?

That's ancient history.

You sure about that, Hoss?

Listen, l got 1 0 days

to retirement.

Full benefits for me and my family,

so why would l screw that up?

Three?

Was that him?

The boy?

David?

You shouldn't think...

You did a dime.

[PHONE LlNE RlNGS]

ClCERO [OVER PHONE]: Cicero.

Hey, it's me. Did l wake you up?

No.

You said on your message

to give you a call, so...

Okay, here's the deal.

Both of our victims

were informants.

Could be something there, right?

COP:
Yeah, could be.

Nice work.

ClCERO:

Okay, l need you to follow up on it.

l gotta be in court,

but l really think we're getting close.

lt's gotta have something to do

with how they got set up.

Did you hear about that stabbing

in Henderson?

Yeah, yeah, what about it?

l got a hunch it might be our guy.

lt's not his m.o.

Our guy's a shooter,

not a stabber.

Like l said, l got a hunch.

Yeah, so did Quasimodo.

Look where it got him.

l'm gonna go ask a few questions.

After you do the follow-up, right?
