During interrogation, Hugo claims that he was friends with the murder victim, Bonnie Ellis, and that he was helping her with a peace treaty. Hugo tells Bell and Jet that he is being set up by a dirty cop who took his gun last year. Hugo called Bonnie to warn her about a police officer who was in charge of a sex trafficking scheme.
