    Episode 6: MY LIFE IN CRIME PART TWO
    20 Oct 2026

    A late-night party, a speed bump, and a highway car chase once again land Granville on the wrong side of the law...this time in jail. His cellmate is a drunken, raving lunatic, whom Granville manages to appease with a white lie. But the bigger reckoning comes after bail, when he must confess everything to his no-nonsense attorney father. What follows is an unexpected turn that reveals the confounding complexity of father-son relationships. Sometimes, maybe, crime does pay.
