But knowing the truth and being able to prove it are different things entirely.

July 2012. After escaping capture thanks to the timely intervention of driver Eleanor Wallis, Jimmy Harmon and Robin Freeman are forced to lick their wounds — both emotional and physical — and reconsider their actions.
