Prostitution. guest photos, and then extortion. The congressman who showed up at Lynn's house had been secretly photographed of him and Lynn together, and had to obediently change his firm stance and agree to support the construction of a road to the real estate development owned by Pierce.
This time, prosecutor Raute is the next target, Rauter is a gay man, and Sid pays Matt Reynolds to go and have a time with Lauter, and then Sid secretly takes photos to expose the scandal, which he thinks can avenge Jack's last Christmas Eve threat.
Matt apparently doesn't remember Jack, and he inadvertently mentions the "French Dynasty" with Jack, which makes Jack learn some of the stories behind the organization and become suspicious. Jack asks Sid about Pierce, but Sid tells Jack from the perspective of a professional reporter that he has nothing to reveal about Pierce, and that he is a low-key rich man through and through.
Jack, who has just experienced a low point in his career, feels the intricacies of the industry like never before, and he ruined Matt's career for his own career, but Matt is still innocently looking forward to his career being able to improve, and he even had to cooperate with Sid, giving Matt an illusory hope, so that Matt successfully nodded to hook up with Raute.
Look at the fifty dollars Sid gave him - catch. After being hesitant and hesitant to try to make some effort, Jack rushed to the agreed place and tried to convince Matt not to do it. But Jack is a step late, and there is only Matt's body in the room, which makes Jack have mixed feelings. Not just because of Matt's death, but because some part of his heart collapsed.
At the same time, the night owl coffee house case was strong. The adulterer woman woke up and recovered, and Ed went to the hospital to pick her up, but unexpectedly learned that the woman had lied, and the suspects at that time actually had alibi. It also means that maybe those blacks are just there to "break Louis." is just that, the real culprit of the night owl tragedy is someone else.
Everywhere reporters rushed to the hospital scene to take pictures of Ed and the woman, but this time, Ed had no way to enjoy the heat of the spotlight, he just stood in place in shock, and it was difficult to hide the panicked look in his eyes.
The amount of information is so huge, all the clues seem to be coming together silently, and countless messages are pouring in, so that Nicholas has to pay full attention, but he does not feel tired at all, the whole story is moving very fast, on the contrary, he only feels the excitement and excitement in his body, as if solving a mathematical problem.
Nicholas leaned forward slightly, nervously clasping his nails, keeping an eye on every clue, trying to unravel all the mysteries before Ed, Jack, and Budd: what is the connection between the night owl murder, the "French dynasty", and the death of Matt Reynolds?
Bard has found a clue! Nicholas got excited, even more excited than Bud.
Bud looked through the photos of the Night Owl Café in the database, only to find blood on the walls - everyone except the cashier was found in the bathroom, and the medical examiner confirmed Budd's suspicions: the walls were stained with Stance's blood, the killer had a physical altercation with Stance before the shot, and none of the other dead had any signs of confrontation.
Bud then discovers that there are two coffee cups on Stans' table, and when he confirms that the woman sitting across from Stance is Susan, he immediately realizes a clue. Bud hurries to Susan's house to investigate, and Susan's mother recognizes Stance as Susan's boyfriend from the photo and tells him that Stance once had a heated argument with another man at home.
According to Susan's mother's testimony, Bud noticed a foul smell coming from under the floor, and then in the cellar, Bud found Buzz's body - it was Buzz who had an argument with Stance that day, and on Christmas Eve, Stance appeared to be unfamiliar with Buzz and Susan.
"Oh!" Nicholas couldn't suppress his low cry of excitement, not only him, but also many viewers at the scene exclaimed, obviously realizing that countless clues were being connected by an invisible dark line, and the thrill of approaching the truth made every audience excited.
Bard then gets a clue from Mitch Kirhan's former bodyguard, John Stebanado, that Buzz once had the sea in his hands. Lowe. Trying to find a buyer, Bard deduces that the deaths of Stance and Buzz may be related to the sea. Lowe. Because of the related.
Eddard is suspicious of the night owl murder, and after talking to the medical examiner, he follows Bard's clues to Susan's house, where he finds the body in the cellar. Ed returns the body to the police station and becomes concerned about Bud's whereabouts, he has no companions in the homicide team, he can only trust Jack, so he asks Jack for help. But at this time, Jack, who was distraught because of Matt, was obviously in no mood to deal with Ed.
Ed tells Jack that his father was killed by an unknown bandit, that the man is still at large, and that in order to remember him forever, he made up the name "Rollo Tommasi", which is how he became a police officer. The driving force of Cha. It's just a pity that he doesn't know when this dream has been lost.
Ed's words resonated with Jack, and he couldn't even answer Ed's question, "Why are you a police officer?" Examine? Matt's death made Jack have mixed feelings, and the sentence "I don't remember" made the entire movie theater quiet, and everyone deeply felt the helplessness hidden behind the darkness, and all the blood, justice, and dreams were turned into magnesium lights, banknotes, and promotions in the squeeze of reality.
Jack nodded and agreed to help, in exchange for hoping that Ed would find out the cause of Matt's death and the murderer. Two people who seem the most unlikely to work together have come together!
Jack secretly follows Bud in his car, first detects the conversation between Bud and John, and then finds Bud walking into Lynn's house, when Ed arrives and they witness Bud and Lynn pestering in the house. In the scene of Mian, the two people don't seem to be playing on the spot at all, but really fall in love. Looking at this scene, Ed's face stiffened and thoughtful.
However, Jack discovers that his case and Ed's case are linked to the "French Dynasty", as well as Pierce, who they find but find nothing - Pierce denies his connection to the "French Dynasty". So Ed asked Jack to see the autopsy results, and he went to Lynn's house to find out about Bud and see if there was any deal between Bud and Pierce.
After Jack and Ed left, Pierce dialed the phone, and on the other end of the line was Sid, the editor-in-chief of Shhhhhh
"Oh!" The audience exclaimed, Nicholas was almost about to shoot the case, all the clues were connected, and the huge network of contacts behind the "French Dynasty" was clearly displayed, but what was the connection between ...... "French Dynasty" and the night owl tragedy? Nicholas could barely contain his excitement and stared intently at the big screen.
Lynn challenged Ed's bottom line step by step, and infinite sparks burst out between the two of them, tense and full of temptation. Confused, it made the mouth of almost every audience in the movie theater dry, not to mention Ed, his sanity gradually lost control, and finally he had a relationship with Lynn. But all this was photographed by Sid, who was hiding in the house.
Jack gets the autopsy results and discovers that the deceased is Buzz. Jack then flipped through the old files and found that Buzz and Stance were a couple, and twelve years ago, they had arrested many people and questioned Pierce about using Sid in the "boo" magazine to secretly photograph celebrities. The person in charge of the prostitute photo blackmail is Dudley. In these cases, charges were later dropped due to lack of evidence.
The scheming Jack immediately thinks of Buzz, Stance, Pierce, Sid and others and selling. Lewdness, drugs. He couldn't wait for Ed to return, so he decided to go to Dudley himself to find out the situation. But when Dudley learned that Jack didn't tell anyone else, he turned around and shot Jack directly, and then Jack understood: Dudley is also one of the criminals at large!
Dudley asks what else he has to say, and Jack struggles to utter a name, "Rollo Tomasi."
Dead silence, there was a dead silence in the entire movie theater, no one exclaimed, no one shouted, and everyone held their breath the moment they saw Dudley shoot Jack. Who would have thought that the amiable Dudley was behind it, the cynical Jack died for justice, and the hypocritical and rigid Ed became the only hope. It all came too suddenly, and Jack's death was so shocking that everyone stopped breathing, until Jack smiled on the screen before he died, and the hairs on his back stood on end, and his soul began to tremble slightly.
Unconsciously, silently, surging forward.
Ed was shocked to hear that Jack had been shot dead in the middle of the night and abandoned the park, and his instinct was that it must have something to do with yesterday's autopsy report. When Dudley asks Ed about one of Jack's friends, "Rollo Tommasie", Ed suddenly realizes that the person in front of him is the murderer!
Nicholas couldn't help but shudder, one after another, looking at Ed's panicked pupils couldn't help but dilate slightly in fear, but in the face of Dudley, he had to try to suppress the turbulence and anger in his heart, and said calmly, "No, I don't know. The tremor that came from the depths of his soul was like a tidal wave, and Nicholas began to tremble.
Such a powerful power comes not only from the performance, not only from the story, but also from the delicate truth.
