Rogelio Braga's face in the background of Stevie's photos instantly indicates that she is in more danger than she realizes, and Emilio feels compelled to step in. Before opening January Investigations, Emilio worked for the Justice Department. A case involving Braga resulted in the death of an informant and blew his cover and three years of work.
