5. The Audit
The final week brings federal investigators to Alligator Alcatraz, but they're following money, not families. When efficiency expert Brad Thornton tries to frame Tommy as the ringleader of a criminal conspiracy to save his own career, Elena unleashes her masterpiece: three weeks of documented evidence showing systematic fraud totaling fifty million dollars. As the real criminals—politicians, contractors, and administrators—scramble to find scapegoats, Elena's counter-investigation reveals that family separation wasn't just cruel, it was profitable. The officials who took credit for Tommy's successes find their own words used as evidence against them in federal court. By week's end, seventeen people face racketeering charges, Tommy's case is dismissed, and the facility that was built on corruption is ordered demolished—transforming Elena's personal revenge into systematic justice.

00:00:03.200 --> 00:00:14.439
Calaruga Shark Media. The final week at Alligator Alcatraz started
2
00:00:14.480 --> 00:00:20.559
with what the remaining administration called comprehensive compliance verification and
3
00:00:20.600 --> 00:00:23.679
what everyone else recognized as the kind of investigation that
4
00:00:23.839 --> 00:00:29.239
ends careers and starts prison sentences. Federal auditors had descended
5
00:00:29.239 --> 00:00:33.079
on the facility like locusts on a wheat field, examining
6
00:00:33.119 --> 00:00:37.399
every contract, every expenditure, every decision that had been made
7
00:00:37.719 --> 00:00:41.679
since the place opened four weeks earlier. But these weren't
8
00:00:41.679 --> 00:00:45.159
the family reunification auditors that Tommy had been worried about
9
00:00:45.240 --> 00:00:50.280
back in week two. These were criminal investigators, and they
10
00:00:50.320 --> 00:00:55.240
weren't interested in operational efficiency. They were following the money.
11
00:00:56.200 --> 00:01:00.640
Elana's revelations about Congressman Hutchins had opened up a network
12
00:01:00.679 --> 00:01:05.959
of corruption that stretched far beyond one politician's greed. The
13
00:01:06.040 --> 00:01:09.799
contracts for Alligator Alcatraz had been part of a systematic
14
00:01:09.840 --> 00:01:14.040
scheme to funnel taxpayer money through detention facilities and into
15
00:01:14.040 --> 00:01:20.319
the pockets of well connected contractors, administrators, and politicians. And
16
00:01:20.359 --> 00:01:23.159
now that the scheme was falling apart, the people who
17
00:01:23.239 --> 00:01:27.879
profited from it were looking for someone to blame. Sunday morning,
18
00:01:28.480 --> 00:01:33.599
Tommy discovered that someone was him. This is episode five
19
00:01:34.599 --> 00:01:44.840
the audit. The accusation came in the form of a
20
00:01:44.879 --> 00:01:50.079
formal complaint filed by Brad Thornton, the efficiency expert who'd
21
00:01:50.079 --> 00:01:54.000
been taking credit for Tommy's improvements for the past three weeks.
22
00:01:54.840 --> 00:01:59.680
According to Brad's statement to the federal investigators, Tommy Esperanza
23
00:02:00.079 --> 00:02:07.200
had been manipulating facility operations and interfering with authorized procedures
24
00:02:07.239 --> 00:02:10.759
since the day he arrived. Brad claimed that Tommy had
25
00:02:10.800 --> 00:02:16.120
been operating an unauthorized command structure that bypassed official channels
26
00:02:16.159 --> 00:02:22.159
and violated federal detention regulations. Most seriously, Brad alleged that
27
00:02:22.199 --> 00:02:28.639
Tommy had been falsifying documentation and conducting illegal communications with
28
00:02:28.719 --> 00:02:33.759
outside parties to coordinate family reunifications that weren't properly authorized
29
00:02:33.759 --> 00:02:39.199
through official channels. It was a masterpiece of bureaucratic blame shifting.
30
00:02:40.520 --> 00:02:44.080
Brad was taking every improvement that Tommy's network had accomplished
31
00:02:44.599 --> 00:02:49.879
and reframing it as evidence of criminal misconduct. The beautiful
32
00:02:49.919 --> 00:02:55.120
irony was that Brad was technically correct. Tommy had been
33
00:02:55.159 --> 00:03:00.919
bypassing official channels, operating outside authorized procedures, and coordinating with
34
00:03:00.960 --> 00:03:05.680
Elena to manipulate paperwork. The difference was that Tommy had
35
00:03:05.719 --> 00:03:08.400
been doing it to help people, while Brad and his
36
00:03:08.520 --> 00:03:13.039
colleagues had been doing it to help themselves. But federal
37
00:03:13.039 --> 00:03:18.639
investigators don't much care about motivations. They care about violations,
38
00:03:19.360 --> 00:03:23.560
and Tommy had committed plenty of those. Elena found out
39
00:03:23.599 --> 00:03:27.360
about the complaint Monday morning when she overheard two guards
40
00:03:27.400 --> 00:03:31.840
discussing Tommy's impending arrest. She immediately sought him out to
41
00:03:31.840 --> 00:03:35.159
warn him about what was coming. They're going to try
42
00:03:35.199 --> 00:03:39.639
to make you the fall guy, she told him. Brad's
43
00:03:39.719 --> 00:03:42.800
painting you as the ringleader of a conspiracy to defraud
44
00:03:42.919 --> 00:03:49.000
the federal government. Tommy wasn't surprised. He'd been expecting something
45
00:03:49.080 --> 00:03:53.680
like this since the corruption investigation began. What kind of
46
00:03:53.680 --> 00:03:59.879
evidence they got, Elena's expression was grim. Phone records show
47
00:04:00.199 --> 00:04:05.560
calls to other facilities, documentation of transfer requests that bypassed
48
00:04:05.639 --> 00:04:10.879
normal procedures, witness statements from people you helped describing how
49
00:04:10.919 --> 00:04:16.680
you coordinated their family reunifications. In other words, they had
50
00:04:16.720 --> 00:04:20.800
evidence of everything Tommy had actually done. The question was
51
00:04:20.839 --> 00:04:31.199
whether they could prove why he done it. What Elena
52
00:04:31.240 --> 00:04:34.720
didn't tell Tommy immediately was that she'd been preparing for
53
00:04:34.800 --> 00:04:38.560
exactly this scenario since the day Congressman Hutchins was arrested.
54
00:04:40.319 --> 00:04:47.040
See Elena knew how these investigations worked. She'd seen plenty
55
00:04:47.040 --> 00:04:51.160
of corruption scandals during her fifteen years in Washington, and
56
00:04:51.199 --> 00:04:54.839
she understood that the first strategy of any criminal organization
57
00:04:55.240 --> 00:05:00.680
under investigation is to find a scapegoat, preferably someone without
58
00:05:00.680 --> 00:05:06.600
political connections or legal resources. Tommy was the perfect scapegoat.
59
00:05:07.519 --> 00:05:11.639
He was an immigrant facing deportation, he had no official authority,
60
00:05:12.360 --> 00:05:15.160
and he'd been operating outside proper channels since the day
61
00:05:15.199 --> 00:05:18.600
he arrived. It would be easy to paint him as
62
00:05:18.600 --> 00:05:22.040
a rogue actor who'd taken advantage of the facility's operational
63
00:05:22.160 --> 00:05:26.560
chaos to run his own schemes. But Elena had been
64
00:05:26.560 --> 00:05:31.879
documenting everything for three weeks. She'd been quietly recording conversations,
65
00:05:32.319 --> 00:05:36.720
copying documents, and maintaining detailed records of who had authorized
66
00:05:36.759 --> 00:05:41.480
what and when. She had evidence showing that every decision
67
00:05:41.519 --> 00:05:45.439
Tommy had made was either explicitly approved by the administration
68
00:05:46.160 --> 00:05:49.000
or ignored by officials who were happy to take credit
69
00:05:49.000 --> 00:05:54.360
for the results. More importantly, she had evidence showing that
70
00:05:54.399 --> 00:05:58.279
the real fraud at Alligator Alcatraz had nothing to do
71
00:05:58.360 --> 00:06:02.199
with Tommy's family reunificationtion efforts, and everything to do with
72
00:06:02.240 --> 00:06:07.000
a systematic scheme to steal money from federal detention contracts.
73
00:06:08.120 --> 00:06:13.519
Elena's counter investigation had uncovered financial irregularities that made Congressman
74
00:06:13.600 --> 00:06:20.120
Hutchins's embezzlement look like petty theft. Patriot Nutrition Services hadn't
75
00:06:20.199 --> 00:06:24.560
just been providing expired food. They'd been billing the government
76
00:06:24.639 --> 00:06:28.120
for meals that were never delivered, using inflated prices for
77
00:06:28.199 --> 00:06:33.240
basic supplies, and creating fictional invoices for services that existed
78
00:06:33.279 --> 00:06:37.920
only on paper. The construction contracts for the facility had
79
00:06:37.959 --> 00:06:41.120
involved massive cost overruns that were hidden through a network
80
00:06:41.160 --> 00:06:45.199
of shell companies and subcontractors. Money that was supposed to
81
00:06:45.199 --> 00:06:49.000
go toward basic infrastructure had been diverted to consultant fees,
82
00:06:49.439 --> 00:06:55.800
administrative costs, and equipment purchases that never materialized. Most damaging
83
00:06:55.839 --> 00:07:00.839
of all, Elena had discovered that senior facility administers had
84
00:07:00.879 --> 00:07:06.720
been taking kickbacks from contractors in exchange for overlooking safety violations,
85
00:07:06.720 --> 00:07:11.319
ignoring quality standards, and approving expenditures that should never have
86
00:07:11.399 --> 00:07:15.920
been authorized. The total amount of money stolen from the
87
00:07:15.959 --> 00:07:20.560
Alligator Alcatraz project was somewhere north of fifty million dollars,
88
00:07:21.680 --> 00:07:23.879
and none of it had anything to do with Tommy's
89
00:07:23.879 --> 00:07:31.040
efforts to reunite families. Elena's plan for protecting Tommy was
90
00:07:31.079 --> 00:07:35.120
typically elegant. Instead of trying to prove his innocence, she
91
00:07:35.279 --> 00:07:40.839
was going to prove everyone else's guilt. Monday afternoon, while
92
00:07:40.879 --> 00:07:44.360
Brad Thornton was giving his statement to federal investigators about
93
00:07:44.399 --> 00:07:49.920
Tommy's criminal conspiracy, Elena was delivering her own evidence to
94
00:07:49.959 --> 00:07:54.759
a different set of investigators, ones who specialized in contractor
95
00:07:54.839 --> 00:07:59.800
fraud and financial crimes. Elena's documentation showed a pattern of
96
00:07:59.800 --> 00:08:04.279
si systematic theft that had been ongoing since before Alligator
97
00:08:04.319 --> 00:08:09.879
Alcatraz opened. The corruption wasn't limited to one facility or
98
00:08:09.920 --> 00:08:13.920
one set of contracts. It was a network that involved
99
00:08:14.000 --> 00:08:19.439
multiple detention centers, dozens of contractors, and government officials at
100
00:08:19.480 --> 00:08:24.879
every level of the immigration enforcement system. The investigators Elena
101
00:08:24.920 --> 00:08:30.720
spoke with weren't interested in family reunification procedures. They were
102
00:08:30.759 --> 00:08:34.240
interested in following money trails that led to Swiss bank accounts,
103
00:08:34.559 --> 00:08:38.720
shell companies, and real estate purchases that couldn't be explained
104
00:08:38.799 --> 00:08:44.919
by official salaries. By Tuesday morning, the nature of the
105
00:08:44.960 --> 00:08:51.440
investigation at Alligator Alcatraz had shifted completely. Instead of focusing
106
00:08:51.519 --> 00:08:57.120
on Tommy's alleged violations of detention procedures, investigators were examining
107
00:08:57.159 --> 00:09:02.879
financial records, interviewing contractors, and requesting documentation from banks and
108
00:09:02.919 --> 00:09:08.159
accounting firms. Brad Thornton's complaint about Tommy got buried under
109
00:09:08.159 --> 00:09:12.240
an avalanche of evidence showing financial crimes that dwarfed anything
110
00:09:12.320 --> 00:09:15.440
Tommy could have been accused of. But the most beautiful
111
00:09:15.480 --> 00:09:18.799
part of Elena's counter attack was how it used the
112
00:09:18.840 --> 00:09:26.360
administration's own in competence against them see For three weeks,
113
00:09:26.879 --> 00:09:32.639
Warden Fitzpatrick, Deputy Warden mackenzie, assistant Warden Crenshaw, and efficiency
114
00:09:32.679 --> 00:09:36.759
expert Brad Thornton had been taking credit for every improvement
115
00:09:37.000 --> 00:09:41.919
at Alligator Alcatraz. They'd issued press releases about their innovative
116
00:09:41.960 --> 00:09:47.919
family reunification programs. They'd given presentations about their efficient crisis
117
00:09:47.960 --> 00:09:53.559
management procedures. They'd submitted reports to Washington claiming responsibility for
118
00:09:53.600 --> 00:09:58.559
the facility's operational successes. All of that documentation was now
119
00:09:58.559 --> 00:10:02.080
evidence in a criminal invas instigation. If Tommy had been
120
00:10:02.159 --> 00:10:07.519
running an unauthorized operation that violated federal procedures, then the
121
00:10:07.559 --> 00:10:11.039
administrators who'd been taking credit for that operation were either
122
00:10:11.080 --> 00:10:16.360
complicit in the violations or grossly negligent in their oversight responsibilities.
123
00:10:18.039 --> 00:10:23.639
If Tommy had been manipulating paperwork and falsifying documents, then
124
00:10:23.679 --> 00:10:27.000
the supervisors who'd been approving those documents and praising the
125
00:10:27.080 --> 00:10:31.120
results were either part of the conspiracy or incompetent to
126
00:10:31.159 --> 00:10:35.639
the point of criminal negligence. If Tommy had been operating
127
00:10:35.679 --> 00:10:40.320
outside proper channels, then the officials who'd been reporting his
128
00:10:40.399 --> 00:10:44.039
successes as evidence of their own effective management were either
129
00:10:44.159 --> 00:10:47.080
lying to federal agencies or admitting that they had no
130
00:10:47.200 --> 00:10:51.600
idea what was happening in their own facility. Elena had
131
00:10:51.600 --> 00:10:56.360
created a situation where prosecuting Tommy would require prosecuting everyone
132
00:10:56.639 --> 00:11:00.919
who'd been taking credit for his work, and those people
133
00:11:00.960 --> 00:11:07.440
had much more to hide than family reunification efforts. Tuesday evening,
134
00:11:08.440 --> 00:11:13.120
brad Thornton quietly withdrew his complaint against Tommy, citing new
135
00:11:13.159 --> 00:11:18.600
information that suggested the situation was more complex than he'd
136
00:11:18.600 --> 00:11:22.559
initially understood. What he meant was that his lawyer had
137
00:11:22.600 --> 00:11:27.080
explained that accusing Tommy of criminal conduct would inevitably lead
138
00:11:27.080 --> 00:11:30.639
to questions about Brad's own role in the facility's operations,
139
00:11:31.720 --> 00:11:46.240
and those questions would not end well for Brad. By Wednesday,
140
00:11:46.799 --> 00:11:50.960
the investigation had expanded to include not just Alligator Alcatraz,
141
00:11:51.840 --> 00:11:55.919
but the entire network of detention facilities that shared contractors
142
00:11:56.039 --> 00:12:01.399
and administrators with the failed Facility's evidence had shown that
143
00:12:01.440 --> 00:12:06.759
the corruption at Alligator Alcatraz wasn't an isolated incident. It
144
00:12:06.840 --> 00:12:09.519
was part of a systematic scheme that had been operating
145
00:12:09.559 --> 00:12:15.799
for years across multiple facilities and states. Federal prosecutors were
146
00:12:15.799 --> 00:12:21.039
now looking at charges for racketeering, conspiracy, money laundering, and
147
00:12:21.200 --> 00:12:27.279
federal contractor fraud. The investigation involved the FBI, the Department
148
00:12:27.320 --> 00:12:34.039
of Justice, and multiple congressional oversight committees. Patriot Nutrition Services
149
00:12:34.480 --> 00:12:39.639
had been shut down and its assets frozen. The construction
150
00:12:39.799 --> 00:12:44.120
companies that had built Alligator Alcatraz were under investigation for
151
00:12:44.240 --> 00:12:49.600
fraudulent billing practices, and a dozen government officials were facing
152
00:12:49.720 --> 00:12:55.559
termination and potential criminal charges. But the most satisfying development
153
00:12:55.960 --> 00:12:59.679
from A Lana's perspective was what happened to the people
154
00:12:59.679 --> 00:13:03.039
who tried to make Tommy the scapegoat for their own crimes.
155
00:13:04.200 --> 00:13:08.200
Warden Fitzpatrick was suspended pending investigation of his role in
156
00:13:08.279 --> 00:13:15.639
approving fraudulent contracts and overlooking safety violations. His innovative management
157
00:13:15.679 --> 00:13:19.639
techniques were now being examined as evidence of either criminal
158
00:13:19.679 --> 00:13:27.159
negligence or wilful participation in contractor fraud. Deputy Warden mackenzie
159
00:13:27.559 --> 00:13:32.399
was facing questions about how his adaptive crisis management protocols
160
00:13:33.039 --> 00:13:36.879
had somehow failed to detect millions of dollars in fraudulent
161
00:13:36.960 --> 00:13:43.279
billing and contract manipulation. Assistant Warden Crenshaw's Heritage Dining program
162
00:13:44.000 --> 00:13:47.000
was being investigated as potential evidence of her knowledge that
163
00:13:47.039 --> 00:13:50.919
the facility was serving unsafe food while billing the government
164
00:13:51.000 --> 00:13:56.759
for premium nutrition services. And Brad Thornton. Poor Brad Thornton,
165
00:13:56.799 --> 00:13:59.919
who tried to save his career by destroying Tommy's reputation,
166
00:14:01.360 --> 00:14:04.960
was discovered to have been receiving consulting fees from several
167
00:14:04.960 --> 00:14:09.840
of the contractors who were now under federal investigation. All
168
00:14:09.919 --> 00:14:16.000
of their innovative detention management techniques and breakthrough operational achievements
169
00:14:16.960 --> 00:14:29.919
were now being reframed as evidence of systematic corruption. Thursday
170
00:14:29.960 --> 00:14:33.240
morning brought what Elena had been working toward since the
171
00:14:33.320 --> 00:14:37.639
day she was wrongfully detained, the complete collapse of the
172
00:14:37.679 --> 00:14:41.600
system that had destroyed her life and separated hundreds of families.
173
00:14:42.120 --> 00:14:48.240
Federal prosecutors announced indictments against seventeen people, including Congressman Hutchins,
174
00:14:48.519 --> 00:14:53.519
his brother Big Jim, three facility administrators, and a dozen
175
00:14:53.600 --> 00:15:00.840
contractors and government officials. The charges included racketeering, conspiracy, fraud,
176
00:15:01.480 --> 00:15:07.639
money laundering, and civil rights violations. The investigation had uncovered
177
00:15:07.639 --> 00:15:12.960
evidence that the family separation policies weren't just cruel, they
178
00:15:13.000 --> 00:15:18.279
were profitable. Contractors were being paid extra for facilities that
179
00:15:18.399 --> 00:15:23.879
processed people quickly without regard for family unity, creating financial
180
00:15:23.919 --> 00:15:28.559
incentives for systematic cruelty. More importantly, for the people who
181
00:15:28.559 --> 00:15:33.200
had been detained at Alligator Alcatraz, the investigation had revealed
182
00:15:33.240 --> 00:15:37.000
that many of the deportation orders and detention decisions had
183
00:15:37.000 --> 00:15:43.039
been based on fraudulent documentation and manipulated procedures. A federal
184
00:15:43.120 --> 00:15:46.480
judge ordered a comprehensive review of every case that had
185
00:15:46.519 --> 00:15:51.879
been processed through facilities connected to the corruption scheme. Dozens
186
00:15:51.919 --> 00:15:55.399
of people who had been deported were having their cases reopened.
187
00:15:56.639 --> 00:16:00.519
Families that had been separated were being reunited through properly
188
00:16:00.559 --> 00:16:07.360
funded legal assistance programs. Elena's revenge wasn't just personal, it
189
00:16:07.399 --> 00:16:12.840
was transformative. But the best part from Tommy's perspective was
190
00:16:12.840 --> 00:16:16.000
that none of the criminal charges included anything related to
191
00:16:16.039 --> 00:16:22.320
family reunification efforts or underground communication networks. Federal prosecutors had
192
00:16:22.320 --> 00:16:25.879
bigger fish to fry than a maintenance worker who'd helped
193
00:16:25.879 --> 00:16:37.559
people find their relatives. Friday afternoon, as Alligator Alcatraz prepared
194
00:16:37.600 --> 00:16:41.399
for its final closure, Tommy received word that his own
195
00:16:41.480 --> 00:16:46.840
case had been resolved. Due to irregularities in the original
196
00:16:46.879 --> 00:16:53.000
detention order and procedural violations in the case processing, Tommy's
197
00:16:53.080 --> 00:16:59.279
deportation proceedings were being dismissed. The corruption investigation had revealed
198
00:16:59.279 --> 00:17:01.799
that his arrest and detention had been part of a
199
00:17:01.799 --> 00:17:05.720
broader pattern of quotas and targets that violated federal due
200
00:17:05.759 --> 00:17:11.519
process requirements. Tommy was free to go, not just released
201
00:17:11.559 --> 00:17:17.319
pending hearings, but completely free. His legal status was being regularized,
202
00:17:17.680 --> 00:17:21.640
his work authorization restored, and his record cleared of any
203
00:17:21.680 --> 00:17:26.599
immigration violations. Elena had made sure that Tommy's case was
204
00:17:26.640 --> 00:17:30.519
included in the broader review of detention decisions connected to
205
00:17:30.559 --> 00:17:35.720
the corruption scheme, and Elena's documentation had shown that Tommy's
206
00:17:35.759 --> 00:17:38.799
arrest had been part of a systematic effort to inflate
207
00:17:38.839 --> 00:17:43.920
detention numbers for financial benefit rather than legitimate law enforcement purposes.
208
00:17:45.759 --> 00:17:48.960
Tommy walked out of Alligator Alcatraz the same way he'd
209
00:17:48.960 --> 00:17:54.319
walked in, quietly, without ceremony, carrying a small bag of
210
00:17:54.359 --> 00:17:57.480
personal belongings and a head full of knowledge about how
211
00:17:57.559 --> 00:18:00.759
systems work and how they can be changed. But he
212
00:18:00.880 --> 00:18:06.000
wasn't walking out alone. Elena was with him, her own
213
00:18:06.039 --> 00:18:11.599
asylum case approved through the whistleblower Protection program. Luis had
214
00:18:11.640 --> 00:18:14.400
been released earlier in the week after his legal aid
215
00:18:14.440 --> 00:18:17.480
attorney discovered that his detention order had been based on
216
00:18:17.640 --> 00:18:22.759
falsified documentation. Maria and David had been reunited and released
217
00:18:22.920 --> 00:18:26.279
through the family unity provisions of the federal court order.
218
00:18:26.839 --> 00:18:30.160
Old Pete had been released to a community supervision program
219
00:18:30.640 --> 00:18:32.960
that allowed him to return to his work as a
220
00:18:33.000 --> 00:18:36.680
fishing guide, with the understanding that his knowledge of the
221
00:18:36.720 --> 00:18:40.480
immigration detention system would be valuable to the legal aid
222
00:18:40.559 --> 00:18:45.359
organizations that were now monitoring the facilities. Dozens of others
223
00:18:45.359 --> 00:18:48.920
who been part of Tommy's network were being released their
224
00:18:48.960 --> 00:18:52.799
cases expedited through the legal assistance programs that Elena had
225
00:18:52.799 --> 00:18:57.119
helped coordinate. The community that had been built at Alligator
226
00:18:57.160 --> 00:19:02.119
Alcatraz wasn't being scattered across the day attention system. It
227
00:19:02.240 --> 00:19:06.079
was being freed to continue its work in the outside world.
228
00:19:14.240 --> 00:19:17.440
Saturday morning, Tommy stood at the entrance to what had
229
00:19:17.480 --> 00:19:22.680
been Alligator Alcatraz, watching demolition crews prepare to tear down
230
00:19:22.680 --> 00:19:26.039
the buildings that had housed a thousand people over four
231
00:19:26.160 --> 00:19:30.720
chaotic weeks. The facility was being closed not just because
232
00:19:30.720 --> 00:19:35.640
of the corruption scandal, but because federal investigators had determined
233
00:19:35.880 --> 00:19:38.640
that it should never have been built in the first place.
234
00:19:39.799 --> 00:19:43.440
The environmental violations alone were enough to require its complete
235
00:19:43.519 --> 00:19:47.160
removal and the restoration of the wetland area to its
236
00:19:47.240 --> 00:19:51.839
natural state. Elena joined him as he watched the bulldozers
237
00:19:51.880 --> 00:19:59.039
move into position. Any regrets, she asked, Tommy thought about
238
00:19:59.079 --> 00:20:02.440
that for a moment. Four weeks ago, he'd been arrested
1
00:00:03.200 --> 00:00:14.439
2
00:00:14.480 --> 00:00:20.559
3
00:00:20.600 --> 00:00:23.679
4
00:00:23.839 --> 00:00:29.239
5
00:00:29.239 --> 00:00:33.079
6
00:00:33.119 --> 00:00:37.399
7
00:00:37.719 --> 00:00:41.679
8
00:00:41.679 --> 00:00:45.159
9
00:00:45.240 --> 00:00:50.280
10
00:00:50.320 --> 00:00:55.240
11
00:00:56.200 --> 00:01:00.640
12
00:01:00.679 --> 00:01:05.959
13
00:01:06.040 --> 00:01:09.799
14
00:01:09.840 --> 00:01:14.040
15
00:01:14.040 --> 00:01:20.319
16
00:01:20.359 --> 00:01:23.159
17
00:01:23.239 --> 00:01:27.879
18
00:01:28.480 --> 00:01:33.599
19
00:01:34.599 --> 00:01:44.840
20
00:01:44.879 --> 00:01:50.079
21
00:01:50.079 --> 00:01:54.000

00:01:54.840 --> 00:01:59.680
