Sonny's son Jose tells the detectives he thought his father went back to Mexico, but suspected something was wrong when he couldn't find him. Valens tries to speak to Jose in Spanish, but Jose says he doesn't understand since he was born in Philly. Jose says he wanted to be like his father, but he grew too big. He states the last time he saw his father was after he lost a race. Jose says his father's assistant, Angelo Rivera, took advantage of him. They meet with Angelo at a city horse stable. He says Sonny was like a father to him. The detectives tell him they know he was arrested for theft and for possession of drugs. Angelo says he took the pain killers and became addicted after he broke his collar bone. He remembers when Sonny defended him after another jockey named Ric Yanko criticized his riding style. Later, Rush explains that her mom worked at a race track and she would wait there until she got off work.

Jeffiries and Vera go to a bar and meet with Ric. They inform him they found Sonny's body and suspect he had something to do with it since he became successful after he disappeared. Ric says Sonny made him a better rider. He shows them that he was paralyzed from the waist down by a horse in '92. He explains that the jockeys had a brotherhood like bond. He remembers when Sonny told him about an operation he refused to have. He remembers the horse owner, Baxter, told Sonny that he is his boss and shouldn't spend his money carelessly. Ric says even though Baxter hated Sonny, he couldn't fire him since he had a three year contract. He believes Baxter thought Sonny was worth more dead than alive.

At the race track, Vera and Jeffries ask Baxter about Sonny. He explains that Sonny was one of his best riders. He adds as long as Sonny had his head on straight, he was a very good jockey. He thinks Sonny's female trainer was a bad influence. He remembers when Sonny got angry at him when he wanted to send one of his best horses out to stud. Sonny said he didn't want to ride another horse named Sapphire because he was too young. Baxter ordered him to ride because of his contract. Baxter says that the trainer, Kristi Duren, filled Sonny's head with ideas that they needed to treat the horses better. He explains that Sonny moved in with Kristi. Later, Jeffries informs Vera that Kristi is in the city. Vera tells Stillman that they located a safe deposit box that belonged to Sonny. Stillman shows Vera a picture of him asleep in his car. He orders Vera to get a physical.
