Billy Summers

Billy and Alice plan to go back to Bucky. They research Roger Klerke online. He is a hugely powerful media mogul who owns Trump’s favorite news network, WWE. He also owns Channel 6 in Red Bluff, the only TV station to get footage of the Allen shooting. Billy realizes that this explains why Channel 6 was at the courthouse and not at the fire. Klerke wanted footage of the murder.

Billy tells Alice what Nick told him about Klerke and why he wanted Allen killed. Klerke had his son, Patrick Klerke, killed by Joel Allen. Nick brokered that job. There had been a power struggle between Klerke’s two sons, and Patrick had attempted to blackmail his father with photographic evidence that he had raped young girls in Mexico. When he murdered Patrick, Joel Allen discovered this evidence. This was the information he was willing to trade in his plea deal.

Before returning to her own room for the night, Alice tells Billy how to remove his fake tan and that she loves him. He responds that he loves her too because he does not want to lie to her.

Billy calls Nick, who confirms that the hunt has been called off and says that he will transfer $300,000 to Billy immediately, with the rest to follow.
