Speaker 9 Shocked today after an arrest in the infamous Gilgo Beach murder.

Speaker 10 The morning of July 14th, 2023, is one I'll never forget. The day they finally caught him.
Lisk, the Long Island serial killer.

Speaker 9 59-year-old Rex Huerman from Long Island is now charged in the murders of three women.

Speaker 10 10 years earlier, we had gone on our own hunt for Lisk. And even though we didn't find him, I had no idea how close we came.

Speaker 9 We're learning that Rex Huerman may have called a documentary filmmaker.

Speaker 8 Will you wait my house today?

Speaker 1 Yes, we are looking for you.

Speaker 8 See not a good thing to do.

Speaker 10 But as we dug deeper, we discovered the hunt for a serial killer was only half the story.

Speaker 1 There is no other way to describe this except explosive.

Speaker 8 Former Suffolk County Chief of Police James Burke was put in handcuffs.

Speaker 12 Steve, he's still denying the accusations.

Speaker 10 I'm Josh Zeman, and this is Monster, Hunting the Long Island Serial Killer. Available now.

Speaker 6 Previously, on Crook County.

Speaker 8 We're reporting this afternoon on the worst commercial air disaster in United States history.

Speaker 6 A tragic plane crash gave Ken a new direction.

Speaker 8 That's when I decided. I wanted to be a paramedic, firefighter.

Speaker 8 You know, I figured that's my career now. I'm going to do this.

Speaker 6 And Ken fell for a club girl named Honey.

Speaker 15 I'd see that big smile on her.

Speaker 8 Everything went away. All the bad stuff went away.

Speaker 6 Turf wars broke out across the city.

Speaker 8 There was a couple attempts to take over the clubs. Yeah, it was a fucking gun battle that broke out.

Speaker 6 And amidst all the chaos, Kenny made his exit.

Speaker 8 So I knew that was my cue and I took it. And I was gone.

Speaker 6 I was gone.

Speaker 6 My name is Kyle Tequila. Welcome to Crook County.

Speaker 6 Just by the way, I'm tired.

Speaker 6 I'd see cause I'm living a lie.

Speaker 8 Yeah, Crook County. Yeah, there's no doubt about that.
It's a den of thieves. The administration is a den of thieves.

Speaker 8 Technically, I'm out of the mob, but I'm still doing shady shit with the fire department, covering up fucking rush.

Speaker 8 And I raised my family doing that.

Speaker 6 Episode 7. The Devil Won't Leave Me Alone.

Speaker 8 I really wanted to get back into civilian life. I was ready for it.

Speaker 8 I was ready for it, man.

Speaker 8 I wanted to get back into civilian life. You have to understand that.
No, I didn't have to slick anything up. It was just like, thank God it's here.
I got a job.

Speaker 8 I'm in a fire department. I got a job.
I got a W-2.

Speaker 8 You know, I gotta pay taxes. You're on the grid.
Yeah, I'm on the grid, baby. You know,

Speaker 8 I was all excited. I was so just because I didn't want to expose you guys to any of that shit, man.

Speaker 8 To anywhere near that shit.

Speaker 8 So, no, there was no nothing. I just fell right into it.
It was natural.

Speaker 8 Got back together with your mom, lived together, got married.

Speaker 8 I said, Listen,

Speaker 8 I just finally decided,

Speaker 8 listen, I'm going to spend the rest of my life with this girl. I know she wants to have kids, so let's just get this over with.
I'm getting older. I'm with the departments now.

Speaker 8 Now I'm with the departments now. I'm with the fire department.

Speaker 8 And I says, Let's start having a life. Start having a normal life.

Speaker 8 You know, we had a Friday night wedding,

Speaker 17 big celebration because people are off of work. You know, it's Friday night.
It was a good night to have a wedding, I think. Everybody's in the party mood.
And Kathy was there.

Speaker 17 She was one of my bridesmaids. And we were having fun, fun, fun.
And finally, after we were married and Ken went to Minnesota for his paramedic, you know, training.

Speaker 17 He was there nine months and then he came back. And when he came back, back he says let's start a family and

Speaker 17 that night you were conceived he was like bing bang boom yeah and Kyle my son Kyle was conceived and nine months later on January 29th 1985

Speaker 17 I gave birth to a beautiful baby boy

Speaker 8 had you

Speaker 8 And life went on for 18 years or 19 years, 20 years.

Speaker 6 And life did go on. And it was good.
A few years after I was born, we welcomed baby Corey into the family. Mom retired from work to focus on raising the kids, and dad was full-time at the firehouse.

Speaker 6 It couldn't have been more different from the nightmare Ken was living only a few years prior. Just a regular, boring, suburban family doing regular, boring family shit.

Speaker 6 Exactly how he wanted it.

Speaker 5 I will always say that my childhood was fucking fantastic.

Speaker 6 You remember my brother, Corey.

Speaker 18 Our hockey days, I mean, they would travel fucking hundreds of miles, you know, on weekends,

Speaker 18 get us hotel rooms. And, you know, we just, we,

Speaker 18 at that the time, it was bliss.

Speaker 5 It was perfect.

Speaker 6 Well, maybe not exactly perfect.

Speaker 18 I do remember him beating the shit out of another dad, an opponent's dad.

Speaker 5 You know,

Speaker 15 I couldn't find the specifics though on it yeah he got pissed at one of like the kids on the other team right right because he was being like a little shit sure yeah and the dad was the dad of that kid was not happy that Ken because he Ken was coach coach Ken he was the coach of your hockey team so the dad on this other team was not happy that Ken was calling out his son so he comes sauntering over to the bench to have words with Ken and he tries to dive over the bench.

Speaker 15 He tries to jump, pull himself up over into the bench.

Speaker 8 Like once

Speaker 15 of the other guy? Yeah, the dad tried to jump into the box to go after Ken.

Speaker 15 And Ken just laid the motherfucker out.

Speaker 18 Could imagine.

Speaker 13 And of course, like the whole place is going like bananas at this point.

Speaker 6 Like it's pure chaos.

Speaker 15 And then the cops come and the fire department comes. And of course, naturally.

Speaker 8 Well, he's a fire. He walks away scott free.

Speaker 13 There's witnesses.

Speaker 15 He's like, he tried to come in my box and protecting my kids, and they let him go. And they arrested the other guy for assault.

Speaker 13 It's just so amazing.

Speaker 18 He's like fucking just out there, man. Holy shit.

Speaker 15 Total wild man.

Speaker 6 There were, of course, those occasional flashes of violence we experienced growing up that were shocking and confusing to us.

Speaker 6 But other signs, more subtle, yet even more dangerous, remained unknown to us at the time.

Speaker 6 Even though they were right under our noses.

Speaker 16 You wanted to keep this away from us.

Speaker 8 Oh, God, yes. That was primary.

Speaker 12 Yeah. And mine.
So I guess just talk about that.

Speaker 16 You wanted to keep this away from us. Were there ever times where it got close?

Speaker 16 Because I remember once where you came home and you had a scar on your shoulder, like a fresh scar on your shoulder.

Speaker 16 And it was very noticeable because you used to just wear dago tees all the time.

Speaker 8 It's not like you're trying to hide the thing.

Speaker 8 That was a gunshot.

Speaker 8 I think I told you I had something removed, like a mole or... Yeah, mole.
Something removed, but I never had a mole there.

Speaker 8 But it was a gunshot. It was a gunshot, Road.
Yeah, it was a small caliber gunshot. What happened?

Speaker 8 I got shot. I can't remember what that incident was.

Speaker 8 Fuck, what was that?

Speaker 8 I'm going to have to really think back on this one. I got shot twice.
I got shot in our left arm. I got shot in the right shoulder.
And

Speaker 8 I get them both mixed up. But let me think about this for a minute.

Speaker 8 Right there? Yeah. That scar under the bottom.
That right there. Yeah.

Speaker 8 Came out.

Speaker 8 Oh, wow. Came out somewhere over here.
They were both small calipers. This one went all the way through.
That one was buried. One of my shoulder was buried.
It had to be dug out.

Speaker 6 I don't know how you can forget the details of a gunshot wound, let alone two of them. But I guess when you've lived the life that he's lived, a couple shots to the arm don't really mean much.

Speaker 6 The troubling thing is, these bullet wounds happened after I was born.

Speaker 6 After he had supposedly left the outfit.

Speaker 8 Well,

Speaker 8 I kept it very much away from my boys. And when I got on the fire department finally,

Speaker 8 I was bound and determined to get out of it completely. Of course, that never happened.
That never really happened.

Speaker 6 I asked my mom about these gunshot wounds, and here's what she had to say.

Speaker 17 I just had no idea, and I'm shocked to this day that

Speaker 17 he led this double life for so long.

Speaker 17 And without us really knowing about it.

Speaker 6 I just think it's so interesting that his job as a firefighter, you know, the hours are 24 on and 48 off.

Speaker 6 So it's the perfect excuse for him, if he had to go do something for the outfit, to say, hey, I'm taking an extra shift and be gone for a day or two and go handle that and you wouldn't even think twice about it.

Speaker 8 Exactly.

Speaker 17 Yeah. Who knows what he was doing? I have no idea.
I mean, it makes me sick to my stomach. Especially when you have children.
I mean, my god, I mean, you're just

Speaker 17 making it so unsafe for your family being in a world like that and doing things like that and jeopardizing your family and our safety. And

Speaker 17 because I didn't know this was going on. You know, if I would have known this was going on, I definitely would have said bye-bye and got out of there years ago.

Speaker 17 But this is

Speaker 17 pretty new to me within the last few years. So

Speaker 17 I can't take back those years, but I just thank God that nothing ever happened to me and my family because of his irresponsibilities and his horrible ways of life.

Speaker 6 So what the hell was happening all that time? Why is my dad getting shot at if he supposedly left the mob?

Speaker 8 So I'm working as a paramedic, firefighter and um

Speaker 8 just when you think you're away from all this shit all right you're done you're done with all this fucking this shady lifestyle i'm covering up fucking murders that these cops are doing

Speaker 8 just when i think i'm getting out of this shit i'm right fucking back in it

Speaker 5 Yeah, I just like it.

Speaker 8 It's the devil. It's fucking, it's following me wherever the fuck I go.
I can't shake this son of a bitch. He won't fucking leave me alone.

Speaker 8 My name's Mike, and I was a partner with your dad at a private ambulance company and at two different fire departments that we worked together at,

Speaker 8 probably over the course of 18 years. So it was quite a long time together.
Your dad's the one person I really felt comfortable with.

Speaker 8 You know, that feeling, because, you know, sometimes you have a shitty partner and you're on the ambulance and you're thinking, well,

Speaker 8 I hope nothing really bad happens today because I'm with this guy, you know.

Speaker 8 But when I was with your dad on the ambulance, whether it was at the private ambulance company or at the firehouse, I was like, doesn't matter matter what happens because we can handle anything that comes down the pipe.

Speaker 6 I remember seeing Mike a lot when I was a kid. Of all my dad's friends, he was my favorite.
Sure, he was big and loud and the perfect picture of an 80s-era Chicago firefighter.

Speaker 6 But I think it's because I've never seen my dad laugh as hard as when he was around his buddy Mike.

Speaker 6 Plus, he rocked the best mustache I've probably ever seen.

Speaker 8 My earliest memory of you, you were small, like three.

Speaker 8 You were were talking to me. I don't remember what we were talking about.
And your dad was being an ass that day. You said something to me and I said, yeah, that's because daddy's a dick.

Speaker 8 And you said, daddy's a dick. And Ken and I could not quit laughing.
You kept repeating, daddy's a dick, daddy's a dick. Your mom was so mad at us.

Speaker 8 for teaching you that.

Speaker 6 Ken had only been a firefighter for a year or so before Mike was hired at the same same station. But even that early in his career, he had already made a name for himself.

Speaker 8 I was brand new EMT. They hired me.
He wasn't there at the time. He was on a vacation in Arizona.

Speaker 8 And all these guys were like, yeah, Ken is this great guy and he's a legend and all of this shit they're telling me. And I was like...

Speaker 8 Okay, this guy must practically walk on water, you know. And he came back from Arizona and he was like telling everybody what to do.
And I was just watching, you know.

Speaker 8 And then

Speaker 8 one day they paired me up with him. We were working on the ambulance together and before we went into a place to take care of a patient, he tells me, I do all the talking.
I call the hospital.

Speaker 8 I take care of everything. I'll tell you what to do.
You just listen to me and do what I tell you. And I told him, fuck you, man.

Speaker 8 I know what I'm doing. I'm not one of these mopes that you work with here.
I said, I know what's going on. Don't talk to me like that.
And we were friends ever since then. There you go.

Speaker 8 I was the first person that stood up to him there.

Speaker 6 He tells me a story about Ken's first partner before he and Mike became partners.

Speaker 8 He had a partner who was a

Speaker 8 very strange person.

Speaker 8 And

Speaker 8 he was trying to tell Ken what to do. And Ken was yelling at him.
And the guy started screaming at him. I know, the guy like lost his mind and started screaming at Ken.

Speaker 8 And Ken grabbed him by the neck and started choking him.

Speaker 8 And the guy's head turned purple and he passed out on the back, on the back step of the ambulance.

Speaker 15 This was the guy that you worked with?

Speaker 8 Yeah, he was a paramedic that we worked with. And he just kind of turned, his head turned purple and he just kind of slumped over on the ambulance bumper.

Speaker 8 And then he wakes up, you know,

Speaker 8 your dad let go of his neck and the guy like woke up right away and he goes you guys saw that you guys saw that he assaulted me I was like

Speaker 8 I don't see nothing I'm going home and all the firemen were like I didn't see nothing what happened we didn't see anything he was the little mob boss huh

Speaker 6 you know the old saying you can take the boy out of the mafia but you can't take the mafia out of the boy You know, taking it down a notch is not his specialty either.

Speaker 8 Once he gets cranked up, he pretty much doesn't care who's there. He's gonna say his piece.

Speaker 6 With Ken and Mike now partnered up, they quickly acquired a reputation as bossy and confrontational, and probably a little psychotic.

Speaker 8 They wouldn't let us work together anymore.

Speaker 8 And the firemen were crying. They went to the chief, and the chief made the No More Mike and Ken rule because we weren't allowed to work together on the ambulance anymore.

Speaker 6 Rule or not, Mike and Ken are gonna do what Mike and Ken are gonna do.

Speaker 8 We would watch Doctor Who together on Sunday nights, and then it started getting busy. On Sunday nights, we were having a hard time watching Doctor Who because we would have to do ambulance calls.

Speaker 8 So we both decided we weren't gonna work Sunday nights anymore because we wanted to be able to watch Doctor Who uninterrupted.

Speaker 8 So

Speaker 8 they were mad because we told them, yeah, we can't do any more Sunday nights because we're missing Doctor Who and it's not right.

Speaker 8 So we made our own Mike and Ken rule for that one. Yeah, it's about time.

Speaker 6 As fun as it is to hear these old stories, and it really is, it's been an absolute joy catching up with Mike. I now know that missing Doctor Who on a Sunday night was the least of the problems.

Speaker 6 And though Ken was no longer in a day-to-day relationship with the outfit, the crime and corruption of police and officials in Cook County would inevitably make its way back into his life.

Speaker 8 So,

Speaker 8 a cop would fucking kill somebody, whether by accident or out of anger, revenge, I don't know. Anyway, you kill a civilian.
But,

Speaker 8 and here's the sick twist here, man.

Speaker 8 Ken's got to come in as a paramedic,

Speaker 8 listen to the story that the cops are sticking to,

Speaker 8 and then I have to take, I have to look at the injuries of the dead guy and tailor their story to fit the fucking injuries.

Speaker 8 And I got to document this shit.

Speaker 8 In a million fucking years, did I ever think that was going to happen?

Speaker 8 I mean, I mean, who even thinks of shit like that?

Speaker 8 Was this just a given part of your new career now? Or like, were you getting paid like

Speaker 8 this for doing this kind of thing? No, this is no, this is

Speaker 4 this is the culture.

Speaker 8 This is the culture.

Speaker 8 This is the part of my job. That's part of the job.

Speaker 6 I asked Mike what he thinks about this.

Speaker 8 It's kind of a hard thing to deal with, but that's how everything worked at that time.

Speaker 8 One of the ones that stands out to me was there was a cop and he was wasted and he crashed into a car and he hurt the people in their car real bad

Speaker 8 and usually you know that would result in tickets and an arrest and stuff and the cops our cops came over and told us

Speaker 8 don't mention that you smelled alcohol on this guy's breast or anything don't put it in your report don't mention it to the hospital we don't want to get this guy in trouble and I was like

Speaker 8 He hurt people. He's wasted and he hurt people.
And they were like, don't do it. And, you know,

Speaker 8 you know, they did the wrong thing, and no one's going to hold them accountable for it.

Speaker 6 He tells me a few other awful stories of police brutality. But this next one was so cruel and vile, it truly shocked me.

Speaker 8 We had a guy, and he was huge. He was like a 400-pound guy, you know, like 22, 23 years old, who worked in the hospital cafeteria

Speaker 8 at a hospital in that area. And we knew this guy.
He was a nice kid, you know. He didn't ever hurt anybody.

Speaker 8 And he went to the bar one night, and these off-duty cops were harassing him and force-feeding him shots. And then they strapped a feed bag on him and made him eat out of a feed bag.

Speaker 8 And they were forcing food down his throat. And they were just torturing the kid.

Speaker 8 And then the kid went home

Speaker 8 and passed out laid on his back in the kitchen and just kept vomiting so he aspirated and he died

Speaker 8 and

Speaker 8 that was another one where they were like

Speaker 8 just put the facts into the thing leave out you know any hearsay like you know off-duty cops were involved or anything

Speaker 8 don't even mention that

Speaker 8 your dad was furious that they bullied that kid

Speaker 8 and basically killed him

Speaker 8 and there was no way to prove it you know there's nothing we could do to prove it

Speaker 8 they killed the kid They killed a young man. They ended his life.
And he never hurt anybody. That's the thing.
It's not like he was a terrible person or something.

Speaker 8 He was a nice kid, you know, that never hurt anyone.

Speaker 8 Now, I got, you know, you know, so, so Ken's going to die one day. So, and now Ken's got to talk, you know, sitting in front of the big guy and try to explain his way out of this one.
All right.

Speaker 8 You know, where I had every fucking opportunity in the world to do the right thing.

Speaker 8 But

Speaker 8 I chose not to. I mean, it wasn't much of a choice, though, was it? Well, I had a family, Kyle.
You You guys were born.

Speaker 8 I had a family to fucking raise.

Speaker 8 I'm not going to jeopardize my family.

Speaker 6 At first, I didn't understand why covering up murders for these crooked cops would be a required part of the job. And even more, how not doing it could jeopardize our family.

Speaker 6 But But Jeff Cohn of the Chicago Tribune isn't surprised and shared an interesting perspective on this sad reality.

Speaker 21 There was a significant issue in Chicago where the outfit had infiltrated the police department. They had operatives, you know, all the way up to,

Speaker 21 you know, there was a guy who went down in a case who was the chief of detectives who wound up running his own sort of jewel theft ring.

Speaker 21 I mean, they had major, major corruption problems related to organized crime. And so they could basically operate with impunity, more or less.

Speaker 21 And it got so bad in Crook County that you actually had a criminal court judge who threw a murder case on a guy who was in the outfit.

Speaker 21 So it went all the way to sort of cross the threshold that a lot of people never thought that it could get to.

Speaker 8 Yeah, Crook County. Yeah, there's no doubt about that.
It's a den of thieves. The administration is a den of thieves.

Speaker 6 But these abuses aren't just a symptom of the Chicago crime family's clause within law enforcement.

Speaker 6 Because there's another family with their own set of rules that enabled these types of injustices to thrive.

Speaker 8 It's the brotherhood of the cops, you know, and you're so dependent on them.

Speaker 8 They saved my life a bunch of times that I wouldn't even be here today if I hadn't stayed on the right side of that, you know?

Speaker 8 Because you don't want to be the guy that they're like, oh, they know you're working on this ambulance and then you're calling for police to come help you

Speaker 8 and they go slow because that could happen.

Speaker 8 I don't want to be the guy that they go slow to save their life, you know.

Speaker 8 So

Speaker 8 it's really a hard place, and

Speaker 8 it's a tough decision to make, and you got to live with it.

Speaker 8 For some people,

Speaker 8 you know, that don't really have like a soul or a conscience, that's easy, you know. But those are hard decisions to live with.

Speaker 22 Hey, this is Danielle Robé, host of Bookmarked by Reese's Book Club, a podcast where great stories, bold women, and irresistible conversations collide.

Speaker 22 You know, cotton is a part of so many of life's everyday comforts, from what we wear to what we wrap ourselves in, and it's especially present in the quiet, cozy moments, like reading a book you can't put down.

Speaker 22 Which brings me to our new segment, the book nook, where we explore the rituals that make reading feel just right. For me, that means cotton everything.

Speaker 22 I live in LA, it's summer, and even when it's warm, I want to feel wrapped up and relaxed. When I'm home, I curl up with this super soft cotton blanket.

Speaker 22 It's lightweight and breathable and perfect for long reading stretches. I've got my favorite matching cotton lounge set on too.
It's basically my reading uniform.

Speaker 22 And I'm nestled on my couch by the window, iced coffee clinking, book in hand. It's truly my ideal reading setup.

Speaker 22 Thanks to Cotton for bringing this segment to life and reminding us that comfort and style can go hand in hand. Don't forget to check the tag for Cotton.

Speaker 13 You know, the other side of this is,

Speaker 6 and I don't know if you know any of this stuff.

Speaker 13 You know, he was a very private guy, but did you know of any of his involvement in organized crime?

Speaker 8 I know that he was in Cook County jail prior to when I met him because he left his wallet on laying on the dresser.

Speaker 8 He threw his wallet on the dresser at the private ambulance company in the room where we would sleep. And he had an inmate card, you know, for when he was out on parole after getting out of jail.

Speaker 8 And I was like, okay.

Speaker 8 So

Speaker 8 that's one of the things I asked him about and he gave me very little detail on it I think he said like two sentences and then that story was done he had said something about

Speaker 8 pimping

Speaker 8 for

Speaker 8 the outfit and he wasn't gonna do that stuff anymore and that was it that was the end of the conversation he didn't want to say another word about it and I already knew him well enough to not ask another question about it because I wasn't going to get anything anyway.

Speaker 10 Yeah, that was a charge for

Speaker 13 keeper of a house of prostitution.

Speaker 8 Right. I actually read about it in the paper,

Speaker 8 you know, when it went down, when they busted the place.

Speaker 8 But, you know, and then he told me about it and it didn't click in my mind till like a year later.

Speaker 8 You know, that that was probably the same thing, you know.

Speaker 6 Mike tells me there were other hints too that Ken was probably connected.

Speaker 6 One incident in particular took place at my parents' wedding, which was right around the time Mike and my dad became partners and a year before I was born.

Speaker 8 I actually went to their wedding and the reception. I was a little drunk and got in a confrontation with some very Italian people there.
Oh boy. Yeah.

Speaker 8 And there was a guy with the.

Speaker 8 I remember this guy, he was a smaller guy, you know, and he had a shiny suit. he had a very shiny silvery suit

Speaker 8 and I was laughing about it and I was telling the people at my table how he's a fattigati that's a word that my sister and I use for real italian people we call them fatigatis you know and uh what does that mean huh do you know what that means no

Speaker 8 I think it's just a made-up word you know

Speaker 8 he's a fatigati yeah right you know so that's what we call him and he heard me say it, and he thought I was making fun of him. So he came over and got confrontational with me.

Speaker 8 So I was off my chair in a hot second and got confrontational right back with him. Then

Speaker 8 his friends started coming over and then the people I was sitting with were getting off their chairs. And I remember your dad coming over and diffusing the whole thing.

Speaker 8 Yeah, because

Speaker 8 that was about to get ugly. And that's not the thing to do at a wedding reception.
It happens.

Speaker 8 It happens more than you would possibly think. I've been on that call a bunch of times where a wedding reception turned into a brawl or a stabbing.

Speaker 8 And

Speaker 8 he didn't, I don't think he wanted his wedding reception to be that. So he came over and intervened.
And I don't know if he thought he was saving my life or what, but you know.

Speaker 16 Those are probably some pretty serious people. Yeah.

Speaker 8 But I was young and strong and good for the scrap back in those days. And I was willing to get in it too.

Speaker 6 Whether Mike was good for the scrap or not, from what I've learned about my father's past, I think Mike was right. Ken probably did save his life that day.

Speaker 6 And as close as Mike and Ken were, I'm certain that my father did whatever he could to keep that dark world away from his friend, just like he kept it away from us, even though it was circling right overhead.

Speaker 8 I was working full-time as a firefighter paramedic and raising my family, but I was still connected. And I always had that pendulum swinging over my fucking head that I could be called in at any time.

Speaker 8 And I was called in a couple of times.

Speaker 8 But I always had to keep that on the deal.

Speaker 8 I mean, no one could work, couldn't know, family couldn't know. Nobody could know.

Speaker 8 I can remember heading off to work with the fire department still. And I'm on the Eisenhower Expressway.
I see him. That fucking guinea fuck.
And I know who he is.

Speaker 8 He's a soldier, but he's a higher-end soldier. I've had experiences with him in the past.
And I never liked him, never appreciated him, never even wanted to recognize him as a human fucking being.

Speaker 8 And that was my mission: to snuff the fucking life out of this guy.

Speaker 8 Next week, on Crook County.

Speaker 8 He saw me, he spun out of control and the race was on.

Speaker 5 That's how simple it can be to murder somebody.

Speaker 8 I'm just saying.
