were you pacing the floors waiting for updates during this? i don t know if i paced the floors, but i was eager to get updates. i had information they were starting to trust him, they were talking, that kind of thing. but beaumont had absolutely no idea a breakthrough moment arrived. it was a saturday night. keene and hall were in the prison s tv room, watching america s most wanted again. here comes a big prisoner, big muscular, buff guy. he walked to the tv, turned the channel. hall looks at me, quietly mumbles under his breath, hey, that s not right, i was watching that. i thought this is a prime opportunity for me. jimmy, a martial arts expert who continued working out in prison was ready for this moment. he got up and changed the channel back. he jumped up, slobbering all over. you turn that channel again i ll rip your hand off, you don t touch that tv, going on all crazy and stuff. turns the channel, sits back
the info, pulled the rug out from under me. while jimmy was wondering where they were, beaumont was looking for him, too. we were like where could he be? he is in prison for god s sakes. they lost you. they lost me. but had they also lost their best chance at finding the body of tricia reitler? coming up. i try not to dwell on that at all because it eats at me, and it s it s very hard to deal with that he was close. what were you thinking telling larry hall you re out of here? when the inside man continues. here when the inside man continues. to meet someone. this is jamie. you re going to be seeing a lot more of him now. -i m not calling him dad. -oh, n-no. -look, [sighs] i get it. some new guy comes in helping your mom bundle and save with progressive, but hey, we re all in this together. right, champ? -i m getting more nuggets. -how about some carrots? you don t want to ruin your dinner. -you re not my dad!
