00:00:20,875 --> 00:00:21,825
So.
3
00:00:21,946 --> 00:00:26,784
Officer-involved shootings often bring
up feelings of remorse and/or guilt,
4
00:00:27,402 --> 00:00:29,602
even if the officer's
life was threatened.
5
00:00:30,311 --> 00:00:32,561
How have you been
feeling since the attack?
6
00:00:32,712 --> 00:00:34,462
- Any nightmares?
- No. I'm fine.
7
00:00:37,966 --> 00:00:39,791
Well, I haven't been
sleeping much lately,
8
00:00:39,792 --> 00:00:43,636
but that's perfectly normal for someone
going through early onset menopause,
9
00:00:43,637 --> 00:00:45,997
which I might be according to my doctor.
10
00:00:47,565 --> 00:00:50,716
- Any flashbacks?
- No, just the occasional hot flash.
11
00:00:59,547 --> 00:01:03,443
So, you're fine?
Nothing major going on in your life?
12
00:01:04,608 --> 00:01:06,067
Yes. No.
13
00:01:06,779 --> 00:01:08,229
Well, uh, not... not really.
14
00:01:09,395 --> 00:01:13,756
My parents are coming to town today,
and my daddy's never met Fritz, so...
15
00:01:16,177 --> 00:01:17,965
- Who's Fritz?
- My boyfriend...
16
00:01:19,130 --> 00:01:20,539
Uh, fiancé.
17
00:01:21,089 --> 00:01:22,385
We just got engaged.
18
00:01:24,620 --> 00:01:26,521
Oh, my... my ring's in my purse.
19
00:01:27,048 --> 00:01:28,598
I'm getting it sized.
20
00:01:30,679 --> 00:01:33,024
And, I'm a... W- we're buying a house.
21
00:01:34,854 --> 00:01:40,362
So, then, other than possible
early onset menopause, getting engaged,
22
00:01:40,423 --> 00:01:43,565
having your parents come into town,
buying a new house,
23
00:01:43,566 --> 00:01:45,954
and being attacked with
a cattle prod then shooting
24
00:01:45,955 --> 00:01:47,805
and killing your assailant,
25
00:01:48,316 --> 00:01:51,034
there's nothing significant
happening in your life?
26
00:01:51,451 --> 00:01:53,372
Why do you have to say it like that?
27
00:02:00,610 --> 00:02:02,242
So, I'm done?
I can go?
28
00:02:03,084 --> 00:02:04,434
That's up to you.
29
00:02:05,404 --> 00:02:09,602
Brenda, if you're ever feeling unfine,
come back and see me.
30
00:02:10,465 --> 00:02:11,415
I will.
31
00:02:12,081 --> 00:02:13,095
Thank you.
32
00:02:14,481 --> 00:02:15,431
So, I...
33
00:02:16,728 --> 00:02:18,518
Thank you. Bye.
34
00:02:21,211 --> 00:02:22,787
It was very helpful.
35
00:02:23,835 --> 00:02:24,637
Good.
36
00:02:24,638 --> 00:02:27,398
You're always saying I need
to listen to outside opinions more,
37
00:02:27,399 --> 00:02:30,964
and the opinion of our best psychiatrist
is that I'm ready to go back to work.
38
00:02:30,965 --> 00:02:32,955
Really? Ready for work...
That's what she said?
39
00:02:32,956 --> 00:02:34,406
Yeah, more or less.
40
00:02:36,172 --> 00:02:40,227
"To Chief Pope, from Dr. Leonard,
R.E. you...
41
00:02:40,867 --> 00:02:44,194
"Deputy Chief Johnson is not
fit for full investigative duties.
42
00:02:44,371 --> 00:02:47,583
"She is exhausted,
disconnected, distracted,
43
00:02:47,603 --> 00:02:49,653
"and in denial of deep emotional issues.
44
00:02:49,909 --> 00:02:51,809
"Allowing deputy Chief Johnson to resume
45
00:02:51,810 --> 00:02:56,555
"a full workload could put her
and other members of the LAPD at risk."
46
00:02:56,748 --> 00:02:59,244
Well, that is just... nuts.
47
00:02:59,549 --> 00:03:02,045
According to the department shrink,
so are you.
48
00:03:02,609 --> 00:03:05,983
But since making you stay at
home will only make matters worse...
49
00:03:06,767 --> 00:03:08,327
Greg Pierson, a reporter for channel 8,
50
00:03:08,328 --> 00:03:10,778
wants to do an investigative
piece on the LAPD.
51
00:03:11,948 --> 00:03:13,475
I know, but this is a good one.
52
00:03:13,476 --> 00:03:17,167
He wants to draw attention to how
overburdened and understaffed we are,
53
00:03:17,168 --> 00:03:19,057
and that's a story
we need to get out there.
54
00:03:19,058 --> 00:03:21,106
So, you want me to
talk to this reporter?
55
00:03:21,107 --> 00:03:23,425
I was thinking a ride-along
with the deputy Chief
56
00:03:23,426 --> 00:03:27,041
and head of priority homicide
might be a nice gesture of cooperation.
57
00:03:28,162 --> 00:03:29,666
Pick Pierson up at his office.
58
00:03:29,667 --> 00:03:32,873
And, Brenda, I know he looks
like a 9th grader, but he's very sharp,
59
00:03:32,874 --> 00:03:35,974
so please keep your answers
as simple and clear as possible.
60
00:03:36,145 --> 00:03:39,495
Are you seriously giving me
advice on how to handle an interview?
61
00:03:39,785 --> 00:03:40,735
Yes, I am.
62
00:03:41,191 --> 00:03:42,641
Just please don't make news.
63
00:04:15,441 --> 00:04:16,391
Hey, Fritzy.
64
00:04:16,467 --> 00:04:18,573
Where are you?
You were supposed to be home by now.
65
00:04:18,574 --> 00:04:19,896
I'm at work. What are you doing?
66
00:04:19,897 --> 00:04:23,140
What am I doing? I'm trying to clean up
this place before your parents get here.
67
00:04:23,141 --> 00:04:24,741
No. No. No. No. Don't clean up.
68
00:04:24,829 --> 00:04:28,667
I'll do that when I get home, which will
be a little bit later than I thought.
69
00:04:28,668 --> 00:04:30,170
Wait. Wait. Wait. Wait. No. No.
70
00:04:30,171 --> 00:04:32,067
You're not suggesting
that I pick up your dad,
71
00:04:32,068 --> 00:04:33,918
who I have never met, all by myself?
72
00:04:34,172 --> 00:04:36,445
You've met my mother.
She'll introduce you.
73
00:04:38,027 --> 00:04:39,162
Okay, don't worry.
74
00:04:39,163 --> 00:04:41,813
My daddy has a great sense of humor,
and my mother,
75
00:04:42,335 --> 00:04:46,183
she's just gonna be reading signs
all the way back to the hotel anyway.
76
00:04:46,967 --> 00:04:49,392
Just let them drop their bags, check in,
77
00:04:49,447 --> 00:04:52,056
and I'll meet you at home later. Okay?
78
00:04:52,190 --> 00:04:53,813
- No. You can't...
- I promise.
79
00:04:53,814 --> 00:04:56,707
Oh, and, uh, don't say anything
about the engagement, okay?
80
00:04:56,708 --> 00:04:57,861
No. Wait. Bren...
81
00:05:00,316 --> 00:05:02,299
- Hello, Sergeant.
- Good to see you back.
82
00:05:02,300 --> 00:05:03,800
Yoo-hoo, Lieutenant Provenza.
83
00:05:03,955 --> 00:05:06,189
Pope asked me to drive
you and Greg Pierson around
84
00:05:06,190 --> 00:05:07,705
to free you up to talk to them, so...
85
00:05:07,706 --> 00:05:09,843
Pope? He's your buddy now, uh.
86
00:05:10,307 --> 00:05:12,307
You don't have to call him, Chief Pope?
87
00:05:12,397 --> 00:05:14,447
I suppose he assigned you to babysit me?
88
00:05:15,897 --> 00:05:17,047
Where are y'all going?
89
00:05:19,138 --> 00:05:21,188
- Nowhere.
- Has there been a homicide?
90
00:05:21,915 --> 00:05:22,865
Yeah.
91
00:05:23,208 --> 00:05:25,455
And, this one's pretty interesting,
too, Chief.
92
00:05:25,456 --> 00:05:29,256
Dead body found inside a room that's
locked from the outside. Now, inside,
93
00:05:29,439 --> 00:05:31,918
there are no windows and no locks.
94
00:05:33,128 --> 00:05:34,608
- Really?
- No.
95
00:05:35,177 --> 00:05:38,414
Some academy award-winning writer
found dead in the Hollywood hills.
96
00:05:38,415 --> 00:05:39,486
Probably O.D.'d.
97
00:05:39,487 --> 00:05:42,037
He was only a nomination.
He didn't actually win.
98
00:05:48,015 --> 00:05:49,060
You want to come along?
99
00:05:49,061 --> 00:05:50,511
- What's the address?
- No!
100
00:05:50,638 --> 00:05:53,746
If you give her that address,
I swear to god I will tell Pope...
101
00:05:53,747 --> 00:05:55,148
Chief Pope.
102
00:05:57,854 --> 00:05:59,361
I'm sorry, Chief.
103
00:06:02,339 --> 00:06:04,643
- Well, I'm driving.
- A- actually...
104
00:06:11,723 --> 00:06:13,473
Should we be talking or something?
105
00:06:13,588 --> 00:06:16,588
Just do what you normally do.
Pretend we're not even here.
106
00:06:18,331 --> 00:06:20,831
Does he really need
to film the back of my head?
107
00:06:21,106 --> 00:06:22,456
Just act natural.
108
00:06:22,707 --> 00:06:23,657
She is.
109
00:06:26,505 --> 00:06:29,226
Maybe we should just stop
by the crime scene for one minute.
110
00:06:29,227 --> 00:06:30,177
No. No.
111
00:06:34,752 --> 00:06:36,606
What I'm really hoping for here,
you guys,
112
00:06:36,607 --> 00:06:38,847
is a sense about
how outnumbered you are.
113
00:06:39,176 --> 00:06:42,126
Now, I-i did a little research.
I got a couple addresses.
114
00:06:42,374 --> 00:06:46,062
Supposed to be gathering
places for one of the local gangs.
115
00:06:47,639 --> 00:06:49,200
Washington and Ridgeley.
116
00:06:50,133 --> 00:06:51,533
Take Franklin. It's faster.
117
00:06:51,861 --> 00:06:53,404
Franklin's not even on the way.
118
00:06:53,405 --> 00:06:56,620
Franklin takes us into the hills,
and we are not going there.
119
00:07:03,812 --> 00:07:05,382
That was a bit of a let down.
120
00:07:05,739 --> 00:07:08,539
Maybe the next address
will be a little more exciting.
121
00:07:09,873 --> 00:07:13,323
Now, if you don't mind my asking,
what makes a homicide a priority?
122
00:07:14,019 --> 00:07:17,354
I mean, how do you,
um, prioritize murders, anyway?
123
00:07:19,272 --> 00:07:22,376
Three bodies or more,
critical missings with children,
124
00:07:22,639 --> 00:07:25,057
homicides involving
high-profile individuals.
125
00:07:25,375 --> 00:07:26,427
Actually, you guys
126
00:07:26,428 --> 00:07:28,935
sometimes have more to do
with that determination than we do.
127
00:07:28,936 --> 00:07:30,381
You know, maybe we should just check
128
00:07:30,382 --> 00:07:33,040
and see if there's an example
of one of these high-profile cases.
129
00:07:33,041 --> 00:07:33,991
Maybe not.
130
00:07:36,420 --> 00:07:37,494
So, essentially,
131
00:07:37,495 --> 00:07:41,095
rich, white people are considered
more important than poor minorities?
132
00:07:41,604 --> 00:07:44,654
No, sir. Just seems that
way because of the media coverage.
133
00:07:45,690 --> 00:07:49,083
Does the LAPD also have priority
divisions for theft or for rape?
134
00:07:49,421 --> 00:07:52,088
Well, I'm not really qualified
to answer some of your questions,
135
00:07:52,089 --> 00:07:53,818
but if you really
want to see how we work,
136
00:07:53,819 --> 00:07:55,892
we should just take you
to a priority crime scene.
137
00:07:55,893 --> 00:07:58,271
Sergeant Gabriel,
you know the address, I presume.
138
00:07:58,272 --> 00:08:02,222
Chief Pope has suggested we let Mr.
Pierson direct our route today.
139
00:08:02,303 --> 00:08:05,303
Would you like me to call
in and ask him if he wants us...
140
00:08:06,775 --> 00:08:07,725
Down!
141
00:08:49,896 --> 00:08:53,976
532h. Officer needs help.
Shots fired. We're at the corner of...
142
00:08:55,183 --> 00:08:57,696
Damn it. Santa Fe, 400 south.
143
00:08:58,742 --> 00:09:01,042
- Need help now!
- Sergeant, I need a towel!
144
00:09:02,535 --> 00:09:05,360
All units, officers need help.
400 south, Santa Fe.
145
00:09:05,518 --> 00:09:06,968
- Oh, help him.
- Oh, my...
146
00:09:10,207 --> 00:09:11,157
Ah, Chief.
147
00:09:12,276 --> 00:09:14,164
I know. I know, Sergeant.
148
00:09:16,117 --> 00:09:19,213
- 532 Henry, come in.
- We need help now!
149
00:09:19,460 --> 00:09:21,924
- It's okay.
- Santa Fe, 400 south!
150
00:09:22,304 --> 00:09:23,854
It'll be okay. Help is coming.
151
00:09:25,055 --> 00:09:28,955
Hang in there, man. Just calm down,
all right. Just calm down. Just breathe.
152
00:09:31,367 --> 00:09:32,317
Help him.
153
00:09:40,226 --> 00:09:42,403
Yoo-hoo! Brenda?
154
00:09:43,921 --> 00:09:44,871
No. Wait. Wait.
155
00:09:46,337 --> 00:09:47,817
Okay. I got you.
156
00:09:52,380 --> 00:09:54,628
Mr. Johnson, I-I'm sorry.
157
00:09:55,022 --> 00:09:57,260
T- the cat was trying to... the...
158
00:09:57,819 --> 00:09:59,972
- I'm sorry.
- Man ought to have a dog.
159
00:10:00,813 --> 00:10:02,226
Can talk sense to a dog.
160
00:10:02,831 --> 00:10:06,155
Where's Brenda?
I thought you said she'd be here by now?
161
00:10:06,236 --> 00:10:08,626
Yeah, I did.
She must have hit some traffic.
162
00:10:08,654 --> 00:10:10,926
Can I get you something to drink?
163
00:10:11,212 --> 00:10:12,173
Iced tea.
164
00:10:12,174 --> 00:10:13,778
I don't think they have iced tea, Clay.
165
00:10:13,779 --> 00:10:16,045
Of course they have iced tea.
Everybody's got iced tea.
166
00:10:16,046 --> 00:10:17,497
Not in Los Angeles.
167
00:10:17,553 --> 00:10:18,608
Don't do that.
168
00:10:18,724 --> 00:10:20,813
- I didn't say anything.
- You were going to.
169
00:10:20,814 --> 00:10:24,344
I have ice, and I think I have tea.
170
00:10:25,166 --> 00:10:27,666
You know, I think he
could really use a bourbon.
171
00:10:27,667 --> 00:10:29,277
I bet they don't even have bourbon.
172
00:10:29,278 --> 00:10:31,471
Make it a double. He's driving me crazy.
173
00:10:36,089 --> 00:10:37,939
Are you all right? W- what happened?
174
00:10:39,092 --> 00:10:40,966
Oh, no. This blood... it's not mine.
175
00:10:41,350 --> 00:10:45,804
This is, uh, Chad, and, uh, this is Roy.
They'll be staying with us for a bit.
176
00:10:46,498 --> 00:10:47,485
Oh, honey.
177
00:10:49,947 --> 00:10:51,147
Ma, I'm fine. I just...
178
00:10:51,797 --> 00:10:53,274
I need to shower. Daddy.
179
00:10:54,609 --> 00:10:55,809
Willie Rae, let her go.
180
00:11:11,774 --> 00:11:13,549
There are two SWAT
guys in the living room,
181
00:11:13,550 --> 00:11:17,000
a black-and-white out in front
of the house. Tell me what happened.
182
00:11:17,726 --> 00:11:19,276
There was a shooting.
183
00:11:19,710 --> 00:11:22,310
I tried to help the victim,
but he didn't make it.
184
00:11:23,366 --> 00:11:25,356
Look, I don't want my
parents to worry about me,
185
00:11:25,357 --> 00:11:28,057
and you shouldn't be in
here when they're out there.
186
00:11:28,195 --> 00:11:32,028
Would someone mind telling
me what's going on? Roy.
187
00:11:32,893 --> 00:11:35,193
I'm sorry, ma'am.
I'm not at liberty to say.
188
00:11:35,421 --> 00:11:38,176
Say what? That someone
tried to shoot my daughter?
189
00:11:39,441 --> 00:11:40,891
So you already know?
190
00:11:41,138 --> 00:11:43,489
Of course. Just not all the details.
191
00:11:45,859 --> 00:11:48,944
Well, ma'am, your daughter
and Sergeant Gabriel weren't hit.
192
00:11:48,945 --> 00:11:52,245
One of the passengers was killed.
The other one's gonna make it.
193
00:11:52,745 --> 00:11:53,995
Kitchen's clear.
194
00:11:59,190 --> 00:12:01,039
So, as you can see, I'm fine.
195
00:12:02,884 --> 00:12:05,034
Now, how are you
and daddy getting along?
196
00:12:05,381 --> 00:12:06,331
I don't know.
197
00:12:06,853 --> 00:12:08,203
Where's your ring?
198
00:12:09,977 --> 00:12:13,061
Oh, it's, uh, in my purse in evidence.
199
00:12:14,355 --> 00:12:15,305
Sorry.
200
00:12:15,681 --> 00:12:18,449
Look, please don't leave
my parents alone out there,
201
00:12:18,971 --> 00:12:21,163
and please don't
tell them I got shot at.
202
00:12:22,394 --> 00:12:25,017
- You got shot at?
- Yes, but they missed.
203
00:12:26,115 --> 00:12:29,415
Look, now we got the SWAT detail,
so everything's gonna be fine.
204
00:12:29,585 --> 00:12:31,835
Please, just please,
look after my parents.
205
00:12:33,645 --> 00:12:34,595
Okay.
206
00:12:53,810 --> 00:12:55,897
So, y'all ready to go to dinner?
207
00:12:56,519 --> 00:12:58,856
Roy said someone was trying to kill you.
208
00:13:01,417 --> 00:13:03,919
- Sorry, ma'am.
- You had no choice, son.
209
00:13:04,215 --> 00:13:05,665
We're staying here.
210
00:13:06,088 --> 00:13:07,943
No. No. No. That's not necessary.
211
00:13:08,128 --> 00:13:10,262
Honey, we've already
cancelled the hotel,
212
00:13:10,263 --> 00:13:13,013
and Roy's sending a squad
car to pick up our luggage.
213
00:13:13,181 --> 00:13:16,709
- I'll cook something.
- No. W-we're going out to dinner.
214
00:13:16,885 --> 00:13:18,635
Hey, maybe we should take it easy?
215
00:13:19,020 --> 00:13:21,070
No. I'm not gonna let this ruin our fun.
216
00:13:21,212 --> 00:13:24,698
Just because we have this
silly SWAT detail doesn't mean
217
00:13:24,812 --> 00:13:29,789
that we can't do what we were planning,
like going to the beach and chinatown.
218
00:13:29,929 --> 00:13:32,700
Honey, the only site
we're here to see is you.
219
00:13:35,186 --> 00:13:36,636
Oh, all right, then.
220
00:13:36,698 --> 00:13:38,706
But y'all are gonna
stay in my bedroom, okay?
221
00:13:38,707 --> 00:13:41,657
Oh, no. No,
you're the one that got shot at.
222
00:13:42,153 --> 00:13:43,777
We'll sleep on the fold out.
223
00:13:44,496 --> 00:13:45,791
The only question is...
224
00:13:47,880 --> 00:13:49,495
Where's Fritz gonna sleep?
225
00:13:51,975 --> 00:13:53,119
Oh, but...
226
00:13:54,135 --> 00:13:55,085
Well, I... I...
227
00:14:11,660 --> 00:14:13,310
we're gonna need a bigger board.
228
00:14:14,802 --> 00:14:17,204
We've moved that writer suicide
over to Hollywood division,
229
00:14:17,205 --> 00:14:19,259
so you all are on this
shooting full time now.
230
00:14:19,260 --> 00:14:22,813
Chief Johnson believes that you
are the best detectives in the building,
231
00:14:22,814 --> 00:14:24,044
so prove her right.
232
00:14:24,577 --> 00:14:27,094
Lieutenant Provenza, you're in charge.
What do you got?
233
00:14:27,095 --> 00:14:28,045
Tao.
234
00:14:31,848 --> 00:14:34,599
Ballistics confirmed
our casings are .223 rounds.
235
00:14:34,832 --> 00:14:38,712
M16, AR15... some kind of
serious firepower. Probably gangs.
236
00:14:39,378 --> 00:14:40,334
Sanchez.
237
00:14:40,335 --> 00:14:43,647
Santa Fe, Mateo... That's not
big gang territory, but they do travel,
238
00:14:43,648 --> 00:14:46,428
and she's ticked off plenty
of them over the past couple of years.
239
00:14:46,429 --> 00:14:48,434
I've been on the line
with special investigators
240
00:14:48,435 --> 00:14:50,262
at the county lockup
and the state prisons.
241
00:14:50,263 --> 00:14:51,613
Now, they're following up to see
242
00:14:51,614 --> 00:14:54,984
if any of their snitches have
heard anything about a hit on a cop.
243
00:14:55,971 --> 00:14:56,921
Flynn.
244
00:15:01,875 --> 00:15:05,233
We're checking out everybody
that Chief Johnson has either arrested,
245
00:15:05,234 --> 00:15:08,945
investigated, or helped convict,
along with their friends and families,
246
00:15:09,169 --> 00:15:12,219
starting with the most recent
and are working our way back.
247
00:15:13,865 --> 00:15:16,065
I'm expecting a similar
list from Atlanta.
248
00:15:16,633 --> 00:15:19,830
What about D.C.? There were
a lot of people that hated her there.
249
00:15:19,831 --> 00:15:21,190
Already contacted them.
250
00:15:23,062 --> 00:15:24,412
All right, so, is that it?
251
00:15:24,999 --> 00:15:28,398
No, sir. In about 20 minutes,
we are interviewing the witnesses.
252
00:15:34,118 --> 00:15:35,568
Oh, hello, Sergeant.
253
00:15:41,394 --> 00:15:42,744
So, how you doing?
254
00:15:43,716 --> 00:15:44,666
I'm a...
255
00:15:45,635 --> 00:15:49,985
I'm kind of pissed at being shot at,
but, um, how are you?
256
00:15:51,600 --> 00:15:54,174
- I'm so sorry.
- For what? You didn't do anything.
257
00:15:54,175 --> 00:15:57,065
- I almost got you killed.
- Oh, forget it, Chief. That's a...
258
00:15:57,066 --> 00:15:59,111
And I have been so mean to you.
259
00:15:59,288 --> 00:16:01,359
Chief, really, it's okay. I- I'm fine.
260
00:16:04,606 --> 00:16:06,756
All right,
let's get this over with, huh?
261
00:16:07,077 --> 00:16:08,527
Here you go, Chief.
262
00:16:10,071 --> 00:16:11,621
Uh, who's gonna interview who?
263
00:16:16,588 --> 00:16:17,538
Call it.
264
00:16:17,629 --> 00:16:19,479
- Tails.
- Heads. Come on, Gabriel.
265
00:16:29,339 --> 00:16:31,034
So, Chief, this is a little awkward.
266
00:16:31,035 --> 00:16:32,635
No, Lieutenant. Go right ahead.
267
00:16:34,372 --> 00:16:35,822
When do I get my purse back?
268
00:16:36,442 --> 00:16:39,185
Your purse.
Um, your purse is in evidence.
269
00:16:41,393 --> 00:16:43,293
- Okay.
- So, do you have any leads?
270
00:16:43,824 --> 00:16:46,674
- Anyone see the shooter's car?
- Whoa. Whoa. Time out.
271
00:16:47,096 --> 00:16:50,111
I'm more interested right
now in your recollections,
272
00:16:50,511 --> 00:16:52,261
starting with what route you took.
273
00:16:52,920 --> 00:16:56,053
Uh, we were headed west on Santa Fe,
274
00:16:56,654 --> 00:16:59,654
and Chief wanted to come
to your crime scene instead.
275
00:17:00,566 --> 00:17:01,866
I wouldn't take her there.
276
00:17:01,867 --> 00:17:03,482
Did you see where the shots came from?
277
00:17:03,483 --> 00:17:06,249
I felt it.
It was coming from my right side,
278
00:17:06,920 --> 00:17:09,860
and it sounded close,
but, um, I didn't, uh...
279
00:17:10,622 --> 00:17:11,772
I didn't see anything.
280
00:17:11,869 --> 00:17:12,819
Nothing?
281
00:17:13,836 --> 00:17:16,486
- Anything might help.
- No. And, I've been trying,
282
00:17:16,996 --> 00:17:18,625
but I can't remember seeing anything...
283
00:17:18,626 --> 00:17:20,883
not a face, not a color of a car.
284
00:17:20,884 --> 00:17:22,674
I don't even know
if there was a car there.
285
00:17:22,675 --> 00:17:24,825
I should have been
paying more attention.
286
00:17:25,523 --> 00:17:27,373
- I'm sorry.
- It's okay, Sergeant.
287
00:17:27,898 --> 00:17:29,274
Just take it easy.
288
00:17:31,730 --> 00:17:36,713
Have you received any death threats, had
any unusual contact with gang members
289
00:17:37,417 --> 00:17:39,527
or subjects of a past investigation?
290
00:17:40,318 --> 00:17:41,268
No.
291
00:17:41,384 --> 00:17:42,645
What about your love life?
292
00:17:42,646 --> 00:17:45,346
Dating anybody who might
have an angry ex-boyfriend?
293
00:17:48,674 --> 00:17:50,643
No ex-boyfriends that I know of.
294
00:17:51,914 --> 00:17:53,314
But you are dating someone?
295
00:17:55,099 --> 00:17:56,049
Yeah.
296
00:17:58,961 --> 00:18:00,561
Does this somebody have a name?
297
00:18:06,464 --> 00:18:08,065
Irene Daniels.
298
00:18:09,977 --> 00:18:11,177
Detective Daniels?
299
00:18:11,775 --> 00:18:13,225
Who knew about this?
300
00:18:19,604 --> 00:18:20,980
Saw them at the movies.
301
00:18:22,140 --> 00:18:24,908
How long have you and she been,
um, uh...
302
00:18:27,236 --> 00:18:29,196
About a year now, and in that time,
303
00:18:29,300 --> 00:18:32,292
I haven't met any of her
exes or she hasn't mentioned any.
304
00:18:32,293 --> 00:18:33,467
Now, can we move on?
305
00:18:33,940 --> 00:18:35,602
We were pulling away from a stop sign,
306
00:18:35,603 --> 00:18:38,603
and I heard a loud report,
so I dropped down to the floor.
307
00:18:38,800 --> 00:18:40,763
- And, how many shots did you hear?
- Five.
308
00:18:40,764 --> 00:18:43,049
15, maybe 20.
309
00:18:44,365 --> 00:18:46,084
How many times do I have to say it?
310
00:18:46,085 --> 00:18:48,435
I heard five shots.
I remember counting five.
311
00:18:48,486 --> 00:18:50,373
I told myself to be sure to count.
312
00:18:51,197 --> 00:18:54,697
Seemed like it went on forever.
And, there were some other noises...
313
00:18:57,349 --> 00:18:58,299
some screaming.
314
00:18:59,937 --> 00:19:02,698
- You sure?
- Lieutenant, I'm positive.
315
00:19:05,365 --> 00:19:07,865
Pierson's cameraman
kept rolling the whole time.
316
00:19:07,889 --> 00:19:10,507
Ma'am, are you sure
you want to see this?
317
00:19:10,633 --> 00:19:11,666
Yes. Yes, I am.
318
00:19:12,290 --> 00:19:13,561
Buzz, play it, please.
319
00:19:14,809 --> 00:19:18,809
Pierson direct our route today. Would
you like me to call in and ask him if...
320
00:19:27,933 --> 00:19:29,540
I could have sworn it was five.
321
00:19:29,676 --> 00:19:32,875
21 shots were fired,
lasting 4.3 seconds.
322
00:19:35,682 --> 00:19:38,009
Buzz, roll the crime-scene video.
323
00:19:40,840 --> 00:19:44,176
Now, it looks as though the
shots came from one position...
324
00:19:44,446 --> 00:19:47,321
either stationary,
or a slow-moving vehicle.
325
00:19:47,950 --> 00:19:51,301
Deputy Chief Johnson and Sergeant
Gabriel have blood on them...
326
00:19:52,999 --> 00:19:54,619
none of which appears to be theirs.
327
00:19:54,620 --> 00:19:59,078
The casings we did find were in
one area, like the asshole was waiting.
328
00:20:02,301 --> 00:20:04,556
Hey, folks,
you want to step back, please?
329
00:20:05,355 --> 00:20:07,705
- Is she all right?
- She's fine. She's fine.
330
00:20:13,475 --> 00:20:15,498
Lieutenant Provenza, keep me updated.
331
00:20:16,634 --> 00:20:19,138
And you two go home.
Take the rest of the week off.
332
00:20:19,139 --> 00:20:22,639
I'm sure you both have significant
others who are worried about you.
333
00:20:30,061 --> 00:20:32,811
People think we don't get shot at.
Buzz, get the car.
334
00:20:35,541 --> 00:20:36,991
You two were lucky.
335
00:20:37,365 --> 00:20:38,815
No. I don't believe in luck.
336
00:20:40,428 --> 00:20:43,728
You know what, Lieutenant?
If I were running this investigation,
337
00:20:44,938 --> 00:20:47,636
I'd want the witnesses
to see that car in person.
338
00:20:49,523 --> 00:20:52,233
You know,
I was just thinking the same thing.
339
00:20:58,666 --> 00:20:59,616
Lieutenant Tao.
340
00:21:11,896 --> 00:21:15,346
Lieutenant Tao, how many casings
were recovered at the crime scene?
341
00:21:16,678 --> 00:21:20,558
We're trying to,
um, jog the witnesses' memory.
342
00:21:22,020 --> 00:21:23,003
21 casings.
343
00:21:23,196 --> 00:21:24,699
And, how many bullets hit the car?
344
00:21:24,700 --> 00:21:27,689
I can't say for sure 'cause a couple
could have gone through the windows,
345
00:21:27,690 --> 00:21:30,529
which wouldn't leave bullet holes,
but I'm counting 17.
346
00:21:30,530 --> 00:21:35,007
17 or more out of 21?
All concentrated in the same area.
347
00:21:36,085 --> 00:21:37,724
That's pretty solid marksmanship.
348
00:21:37,725 --> 00:21:39,135
Yeah, but he missed.
349
00:21:39,540 --> 00:21:42,573
No. He didn't miss. I wasn't his target.
350
00:21:48,642 --> 00:21:52,156
You can either slap me on the wrist
about insufficient neighborhood police
351
00:21:52,157 --> 00:21:55,079
presence, or you can tell me you're
taking that money out of my budget.
352
00:21:55,080 --> 00:21:56,030
Pick one.
353
00:21:56,534 --> 00:21:59,584
When might Chief Pope have
a moment to speak with me today?
354
00:22:00,885 --> 00:22:02,735
- Are you okay?
- Better than okay.
355
00:22:03,006 --> 00:22:04,995
Great. That's great. Why?
356
00:22:05,194 --> 00:22:07,379
Because the guy you thought
was trying to shoot at me
357
00:22:07,380 --> 00:22:09,461
was actually shooting at Greg Pierson.
358
00:22:09,779 --> 00:22:11,355
So, you can call off the SWAT team,
359
00:22:11,356 --> 00:22:14,065
and I can get on with doing
my job and investigating this murder.
360
00:22:14,066 --> 00:22:15,666
- Not gonna happen.
- But why?
361
00:22:15,939 --> 00:22:18,970
Until we have the shooter in custody,
the security detail stays in place.
362
00:22:18,971 --> 00:22:21,018
You are too important
to this department.
363
00:22:21,019 --> 00:22:24,369
Well, I'm flattered, but I
cannot operate under these conditions.
364
00:22:24,879 --> 00:22:27,866
Maybe I should remind you that you're
not supposed to be operating at all
365
00:22:27,867 --> 00:22:30,858
until you are cleared
for active duty by Dr. Leonard.
366
00:22:30,859 --> 00:22:31,809
Come on, Will.
367
00:22:32,473 --> 00:22:35,304
- Nobody has to know.
- Good. Nobody has to know. Good.
368
00:22:35,305 --> 00:22:37,794
That will make it like Gabriel
and Daniels dating for a year.
369
00:22:37,795 --> 00:22:39,715
- It's not like they're partners.
- Don't care.
370
00:22:39,716 --> 00:22:42,762
That's important enough that I would
have expected you to tell me about it.
371
00:22:42,763 --> 00:22:46,349
Look, we can talk about this later.
Right now you need to go home.
372
00:22:46,451 --> 00:22:49,201
- Is that an order?
- Yeah, if it has to be.
373
00:22:53,003 --> 00:22:55,703
Guess I didn't realize
how much I was bothering you.
374
00:23:06,797 --> 00:23:09,747
Once again, Chad,
I-I did not mean to hurt your feelings.
375
00:23:10,378 --> 00:23:11,330
It's okay.
376
00:23:11,518 --> 00:23:13,568
Now, what are you gonna tell Chief Pope?
377
00:23:13,673 --> 00:23:17,593
- That we went straight home.
- Thank you. Thank you so much.
378
00:23:20,025 --> 00:23:22,945
Mr. Kimble,
how are you feeling today, sir?
379
00:23:23,856 --> 00:23:26,406
I remember putting my camera down,
and that's it.
380
00:23:26,872 --> 00:23:29,318
Mr. Kimble,
we're very sorry about your friend.
381
00:23:29,319 --> 00:23:30,269
Thanks.
382
00:23:31,592 --> 00:23:35,392
You know, I've been doing this job
long enough to recognize the real deal.
383
00:23:35,961 --> 00:23:38,861
This kid, he had...
he had network written all over him,
384
00:23:39,190 --> 00:23:42,548
and I guess I kind of
thought he'd bring me with him.
385
00:23:44,821 --> 00:23:45,771
I was wrong.
386
00:23:47,286 --> 00:23:50,070
I'm so sorry about all of this,
just so sorry.
387
00:23:50,579 --> 00:23:51,604
Thank you.
388
00:23:51,605 --> 00:23:52,973
It's all just so unfair.
389
00:23:54,076 --> 00:23:55,376
Greg was such a good man.
390
00:23:56,427 --> 00:23:57,677
The work he did.
391
00:23:58,959 --> 00:24:01,940
- You're pulling a Pierson.
- Excuse me?
392
00:24:02,172 --> 00:24:04,541
You know,
kiss ass and lie to your subject
393
00:24:04,901 --> 00:24:06,683
till they tell you the story you want.
394
00:24:06,684 --> 00:24:09,034
- I wasn't trying to...
- I worked with Greg.
395
00:24:09,675 --> 00:24:12,179
I've seen the technique
enough to recognize it.
396
00:24:14,387 --> 00:24:17,210
You're saying Greg lied to people?
Who did he lie to?
397
00:24:17,930 --> 00:24:18,880
Everybody.
398
00:24:19,763 --> 00:24:21,213
He lied to you guys.
399
00:24:21,608 --> 00:24:22,569
He did?
400
00:24:22,570 --> 00:24:26,329
Greg wasn't doing a feature
on the overburdened LAPD.
401
00:24:26,617 --> 00:24:29,067
He was about to expose
how incompetent you are.
402
00:24:29,826 --> 00:24:31,673
Really? We're incompetent?
403
00:24:31,977 --> 00:24:36,368
There are thousands of fugitives in L.A.
who you guys say you can't catch.
404
00:24:36,720 --> 00:24:40,591
Greg did some basic research,
followed up a few simple tips,
405
00:24:41,040 --> 00:24:42,390
and found a bunch of them.
406
00:24:42,511 --> 00:24:45,284
One of them crashed at
those two addresses he gave you.
407
00:24:45,285 --> 00:24:47,813
So, while we thought Greg
was actually helping us out,
408
00:24:47,814 --> 00:24:49,901
he was setting us
up to look like idiots.
409
00:24:49,902 --> 00:24:51,092
That is not cool.
410
00:24:52,276 --> 00:24:57,596
Well, like Greg used to say, sometimes
you have to lie to tell the truth.
411
00:24:57,787 --> 00:25:00,937
Well, in my experience,
most people don't like being lied to.
412
00:25:01,756 --> 00:25:04,256
- What was this fugitive's name?
- I don't know.
413
00:25:05,210 --> 00:25:06,457
All right, Sergeant Gabriel,
414
00:25:06,458 --> 00:25:09,560
would you please have Lieutenant
Provenza look into those two addresses?
415
00:25:09,561 --> 00:25:11,906
See what a little
basic research turns up.
416
00:25:14,589 --> 00:25:17,428
If you could give me some
background information on anyone else
417
00:25:17,429 --> 00:25:21,379
who might have had a "Pierson" pulled
on them, I would greatly appreciate it.
418
00:25:22,955 --> 00:25:26,419
These gas pumps aren't just taking your
money. They're taking your identity.
419
00:25:26,420 --> 00:25:30,216
Tonight, I'll expose the southland gas
stations that are the biggest culprits,
420
00:25:30,217 --> 00:25:32,034
and we'll tell you
how to protect yourself
421
00:25:32,035 --> 00:25:33,785
against this all-too-common crime.
422
00:25:34,827 --> 00:25:35,777
Fast-forward.
423
00:25:39,289 --> 00:25:40,239
Stop.
424
00:25:40,962 --> 00:25:44,423
At these four-star restaurants, not all
the wild animals end up on your plate...
425
00:25:44,424 --> 00:25:47,457
Fritz, did you know Roy
here raises german shepherds?
426
00:25:47,984 --> 00:25:49,184
No. I didn't know that.
427
00:25:49,729 --> 00:25:52,712
Roy and I haven't really
had much of an opportunity to chat.
428
00:25:52,713 --> 00:25:55,471
Some of his dogs have
been trained to smell drugs.
429
00:25:55,989 --> 00:25:58,425
Just one... Klaus. He's a good boy.
430
00:25:59,770 --> 00:26:01,099
Get that camera out of here.
431
00:26:01,100 --> 00:26:03,568
All of you get out of
here before I call the cops.
432
00:26:03,569 --> 00:26:06,247
- It's a free country, sir.
- Get out of here.
433
00:26:12,175 --> 00:26:13,125
Fast-forward.
434
00:26:13,917 --> 00:26:18,188
My mom's gonna be bummed when
she hears this guy died. She loved him.
435
00:26:18,940 --> 00:26:20,891
Such a nice-looking young man.
436
00:26:21,300 --> 00:26:25,907
He's the first guy I've come across
that seems to realize that L.A.'s nuts.
437
00:26:27,075 --> 00:26:28,275
Who'd want to kill him?
438
00:26:28,370 --> 00:26:31,275
Corporate accountants, lawyers,
city councilmen, insurance company...
439
00:26:31,276 --> 00:26:32,476
Oh, pause it! Pause it!
440
00:26:32,498 --> 00:26:34,570
- Please.
- Please. Pause it.
441
00:26:36,039 --> 00:26:37,271
What is going on, Brenda?
442
00:26:37,272 --> 00:26:40,711
Greg Pierson gave me two
addresses when we were in that car.
443
00:26:40,975 --> 00:26:42,265
Excuse me, daddy.
444
00:26:42,526 --> 00:26:45,226
His cameraman said he
was following up on some tips.
445
00:26:45,664 --> 00:26:48,714
I think I might know where
those tips might have come from.
446
00:26:52,445 --> 00:26:54,692
Lieutenant Tao, uh, I need you...
447
00:26:55,765 --> 00:26:56,715
What?
448
00:26:57,212 --> 00:26:59,659
Oh, it's, uh, 11:30.
449
00:27:02,322 --> 00:27:05,555
Oh, right.
I'm sorry for calling so late.
450
00:27:06,156 --> 00:27:09,307
I need you to pull some
phone records for me, please.
451
00:27:10,379 --> 00:27:11,474
It's an 800 number.
452
00:27:12,787 --> 00:27:14,346
I did you one better than that, Chief.
453
00:27:14,347 --> 00:27:17,228
The network records all their tips,
and they keep all their recordings.
454
00:27:17,229 --> 00:27:18,660
In case they get sued, I guess.
455
00:27:18,661 --> 00:27:20,861
I know where you can
find Alberto Ramirez.
456
00:27:21,274 --> 00:27:23,090
Sir, can you please
tell us your name and...
457
00:27:23,091 --> 00:27:25,227
Excuse me. Thank you.
458
00:27:27,607 --> 00:27:28,838
What's going on here?
459
00:27:28,839 --> 00:27:30,781
- Hello, Commander.
- Pardon me,
460
00:27:31,460 --> 00:27:35,405
but didn't Chief Pope forbid you two
to be involved in this investigation?
461
00:27:35,494 --> 00:27:38,804
We're just doing a little follow-up,
Commander, with our primary witnesses.
462
00:27:38,805 --> 00:27:41,506
Don't you usually do that
at the home of the witness?
463
00:27:41,507 --> 00:27:43,827
Oh, my goodness,
Commander, with the price of gas?
464
00:27:43,828 --> 00:27:46,356
We thought we would
just save the department a few bucks
465
00:27:46,357 --> 00:27:47,830
by bringing them down here.
466
00:27:49,044 --> 00:27:52,736
Well, I suggest you get them out
of here before Chief Pope comes back in.
467
00:27:52,737 --> 00:27:54,882
If he finds you're
helping violate policy,
468
00:27:54,883 --> 00:27:57,733
especially on a case involving
a member of the press...
469
00:28:00,431 --> 00:28:01,981
Thank you, Commander.
470
00:28:02,272 --> 00:28:03,422
You're welcome, Chief.
471
00:28:22,468 --> 00:28:24,229
He's staying at 549 Ridgeley.
472
00:28:24,718 --> 00:28:27,318
If he's not there,
you can find him at 2107 Mateo.
473
00:28:27,748 --> 00:28:29,298
Okay, let me just repeat that.
474
00:28:29,971 --> 00:28:30,921
Hello? Sir?
475
00:28:31,426 --> 00:28:32,976
So the caller sets Pierson up.
476
00:28:33,179 --> 00:28:36,458
Gives him two addresses, and while
you're on your way to the first one,
477
00:28:36,459 --> 00:28:38,161
he has time to set up at the other.
478
00:28:38,162 --> 00:28:40,194
And 2107 Mateo doesn't even exist,
479
00:28:40,195 --> 00:28:42,619
but it's right near the
intersection where you two got hit.
480
00:28:42,620 --> 00:28:45,576
And what about the fugitive,
Alberto Ramirez?
481
00:28:45,865 --> 00:28:47,865
Okay, he used to live at 549 Ridgeley,
482
00:28:48,042 --> 00:28:50,440
but the guy's been in jail
for two months. He's a junkie.
483
00:28:50,441 --> 00:28:52,561
- Where did the call come from?
- Private residence.
484
00:28:52,562 --> 00:28:54,097
Mr. And Mrs. Deke Hawthorn.
485
00:28:54,120 --> 00:28:56,651
Deke Hawthorn...
isn't that the Hawthorn lodge guy?
486
00:28:56,652 --> 00:28:58,902
- Oh, man, I love that place.
- What place?
487
00:28:58,929 --> 00:29:01,191
Well, it's an L.A. institution, Chief,
488
00:29:01,261 --> 00:29:03,027
one of the oldest
steak houses in the city.
489
00:29:03,028 --> 00:29:05,087
Steak house...
you're not doing the place justice.
490
00:29:05,088 --> 00:29:07,090
It's a, uh, wild game restaurant.
491
00:29:07,346 --> 00:29:09,189
You know, elk, venison.
492
00:29:10,153 --> 00:29:11,369
The Hawthorn lodge.
493
00:29:11,673 --> 00:29:13,247
They closed, like, over a year ago.
494
00:29:13,248 --> 00:29:15,889
- They closed? Why?
- I think I know.
495
00:29:16,777 --> 00:29:18,696
This report contains some shocking video
496
00:29:18,697 --> 00:29:20,737
that may be difficult
for more sensitive viewers.
497
00:29:20,738 --> 00:29:22,016
Get that camera out of here.
498
00:29:22,017 --> 00:29:24,614
All of you get out of
here before I call the cops.
499
00:29:24,615 --> 00:29:25,858
It's a free country, sir.
500
00:29:25,859 --> 00:29:27,140
Okay, freeze that.
501
00:29:27,849 --> 00:29:30,094
Okay, that old guy there,
that's Deke Hawthorn.
502
00:29:30,095 --> 00:29:33,995
His grandfather opened the restaurant
in the '20s. He's a big-game hunter...
503
00:29:34,110 --> 00:29:37,481
Whole family is.
Weekly special usually consisted of

00:29:37,482 --> 00:29:40,032
whatever they brought
back from the hunt.
505
00:29:43,557 --> 00:29:45,257
Okay. Roll the crime-scene video.
506
00:29:48,488 --> 00:29:53,337
So Pierson does an exposé on Hawthorn
lodge, claiming health-code violations,
507
00:29:53,431 --> 00:29:55,591
and two months later
they have to close down.
508
00:29:55,592 --> 00:29:57,292
A lot of people trusted this guy.
509
00:29:57,302 --> 00:29:59,454
Losing a family business...
that's motive.
510
00:29:59,455 --> 00:30:01,373
Maybe we should talk to Deke Hawthorn.
511
00:30:01,374 --> 00:30:02,774
What's the matter with you?
512
00:30:03,110 --> 00:30:05,760
I can't believe it.
I may have eaten rat droppings.
513
00:30:08,238 --> 00:30:09,781
Okay. Go back. Go back.
514
00:30:11,567 --> 00:30:12,767
Okay, stop there, Buzz.
515
00:30:18,181 --> 00:30:19,581
He look familiar to anyone?
516
00:30:19,589 --> 00:30:22,939
That's the same guy that's
with Deke Hawthorn in that news video.
517
00:30:27,332 --> 00:30:30,051
Okay, Lieutenant Provenza,
find Deke Hawthorn, please,
518
00:30:30,052 --> 00:30:34,161
and see if he knows who this young
man is, and then bring them both in.
519
00:30:34,522 --> 00:30:37,641
Let's see if we can find out
exactly whose voice is on that tip-line.
520
00:30:37,642 --> 00:30:38,592
So...
521
00:30:39,194 --> 00:30:41,494
- are you going to interview them?
- I am...
522
00:30:44,768 --> 00:30:47,815
not allowed to participate
in any investigation.
523
00:31:46,982 --> 00:31:49,382
Ma, why are you reading
yesterday's newspaper?
524
00:31:50,258 --> 00:31:53,362
Your father has today's.
I'll read that one tomorrow.
525
00:31:54,594 --> 00:31:56,281
You know, I was thinking,
526
00:31:56,817 --> 00:31:59,824
you could invite some of
your friends from work over tonight.
527
00:31:59,825 --> 00:32:02,960
- We can have a cookout.
- Ma, they're busy working.
528
00:32:04,966 --> 00:32:07,913
- Do you need pancakes, sweetheart?
-No. I'm not hungry.
529
00:32:16,103 --> 00:32:17,383
I'll make some pancakes.
530
00:32:18,805 --> 00:32:22,413
Roy, Chad, would you boys
like to help me in the kitchen?
531
00:32:23,338 --> 00:32:24,411
Yes, ma'am.
532
00:32:26,924 --> 00:32:28,293
She never listens to me.
533
00:32:29,386 --> 00:32:31,261
- Are we upsetting you?
- No.
534
00:32:31,339 --> 00:32:33,955
- Do you want us to go?
- No, daddy.
535
00:32:34,692 --> 00:32:36,820
I am upset, but not at you.
536
00:32:36,980 --> 00:32:40,230
It's that stupid psychiatrist
who won't let me go back to work.
537
00:32:41,425 --> 00:32:44,321
Which probably thrills you
to no end 'cause you've been wanting me
538
00:32:44,322 --> 00:32:47,172
to quit being a police
officer since the day I started.
539
00:32:48,225 --> 00:32:50,648
All we've ever wanted
was for you to be happy.
540
00:32:50,826 --> 00:32:52,408
I am happy, daddy.
541
00:32:53,096 --> 00:32:54,746
What can't you just accept that?
542
00:32:56,455 --> 00:32:57,405
Look, honey...
543
00:33:01,511 --> 00:33:03,528
when you wanted to go to Georgetown,
544
00:33:04,188 --> 00:33:07,140
I said no, and you went anyway.
545
00:33:07,315 --> 00:33:10,119
When you wanted to go to work
for the state department,
546
00:33:10,238 --> 00:33:12,955
I said no. Well, you did it anyway.
547
00:33:13,365 --> 00:33:17,456
Then when you called and said you're
going to work for the D. C. police,
548
00:33:17,552 --> 00:33:19,263
your mama nearly had to sit on me
549
00:33:19,343 --> 00:33:22,422
to keep me from driving the van
up there and kidnapping you.
550
00:33:25,328 --> 00:33:29,839
Over the years, I've tried
to stand in your way several times,
551
00:33:29,984 --> 00:33:33,298
and you always ran
right over me. Capiche?
552
00:33:34,754 --> 00:33:36,804
If you want to go back to work,
553
00:33:37,100 --> 00:33:38,884
you go back to work.
554
00:33:40,194 --> 00:33:42,350
I've always found it's easier
555
00:33:42,540 --> 00:33:45,449
to ask for forgiveness than permission.
556
00:33:46,396 --> 00:33:48,677
Know what I mean?
557
00:33:57,368 --> 00:33:59,164
Aren't you supposed to be at home?
558
00:33:59,259 --> 00:34:00,633
Just poking my head in.
559
00:34:00,713 --> 00:34:03,227
Mind waiting out here
for a minute, please?
560
00:34:03,771 --> 00:34:05,464
Hi, everybody.
561
00:34:07,697 --> 00:34:08,697
Fine.
562
00:34:11,846 --> 00:34:13,547
Did you talk to the psychiatrist?
563
00:34:13,643 --> 00:34:15,775
No. What'd I miss?
564
00:34:15,957 --> 00:34:20,174
Well, two months after Pierson's
rat exposé, the Hawthorn lodge closed.
565
00:34:20,388 --> 00:34:22,621
Six months after that,
Deke Hawthorn dies.
566
00:34:22,701 --> 00:34:25,154
- How?
- Pills. 20 of them all at once.
567
00:34:26,182 --> 00:34:28,388
So, who's our friend
from the news video?
568
00:34:28,556 --> 00:34:30,154
It's Bill Hawthorn. Deke's son.
569
00:34:30,274 --> 00:34:33,688
He used to work for his dad, but now
he's a waiter at a diner downtown.
570
00:34:33,689 --> 00:34:34,852
Lives at home with mom.
571
00:34:34,853 --> 00:34:36,824
It could have been Bill
who called the tip-line.
572
00:34:36,825 --> 00:34:38,865
- Did you search their house?
- The Hawthorns own
573
00:34:38,914 --> 00:34:42,404
eight registered rifles. Looks like
everyone in the Hawthorn family hunted.
574
00:34:42,542 --> 00:34:45,968
We found seven at the house.
The one that was missing was an ar15.
575
00:34:46,064 --> 00:34:49,485
Mrs. Hawthorn said it was up north
at the family lodge.
576
00:34:50,143 --> 00:34:52,296
So, no rifle.
577
00:34:54,405 --> 00:34:56,518
Did Lieutenant Flynn read
Mr. Hawthorn his rights?
578
00:34:56,612 --> 00:34:59,375
Well, of course he did, Chief,
and the kid waived them,
579
00:34:59,664 --> 00:35:03,226
but he doesn't have much to say,
and our evidence is circumstantial.
580
00:35:04,259 --> 00:35:07,163
Your evidence isn't circumstantial.
It isn't even evidence.
581
00:35:07,300 --> 00:35:09,410
It's supposition and coincidence.
582
00:35:10,735 --> 00:35:12,883
You don't even have the murder weapon.
583
00:35:14,098 --> 00:35:16,638
W- wait a minute, Chief.
Just wait a minute here.
584
00:35:16,725 --> 00:35:20,151
- Maybe Flynn can get this kid to...
- To let him go.
585
00:35:22,397 --> 00:35:25,297
But if we let him go, he could lawyer up
or he could leave town.
586
00:35:25,410 --> 00:35:26,678
Well, he isn't talking,
587
00:35:26,797 --> 00:35:28,460
and you guys don't have any evidence,
588
00:35:28,580 --> 00:35:32,030
so I don't see what
other choice you have but to let him go.
589
00:35:33,532 --> 00:35:35,143
Nice to see y'all.
590
00:36:10,291 --> 00:36:12,544
You know what? You look very familiar.
591
00:36:13,433 --> 00:36:14,660
Really?
592
00:36:14,795 --> 00:36:17,128
- Where do I know you from?
- I- I don't know.
593
00:36:17,247 --> 00:36:19,769
- You're going down, right?
- Yeah, thanks.
594
00:36:22,477 --> 00:36:24,302
We've met before. I know we have.
595
00:36:24,421 --> 00:36:27,858
- I don't think so, ma'am.
- Are you sure? I could have sworn...
596
00:36:36,024 --> 00:36:37,853
Excuse me.
597
00:36:38,272 --> 00:36:40,898
Oh, we're going up. Shoot, I'm sorry.
598
00:36:43,193 --> 00:36:46,476
You know, it's funny that you don't
rember me because I remember you.
599
00:36:47,401 --> 00:36:49,277
Yeah, I really just don't...
600
00:36:51,369 --> 00:36:53,192
Grab the next one.
601
00:36:56,799 --> 00:36:58,724
You're the man who tried to kill me.
602
00:37:00,318 --> 00:37:01,399
What?
603
00:37:02,571 --> 00:37:04,493
- That's not true.
- Oh, it is true,
604
00:37:04,919 --> 00:37:06,414
and I can prove it.
605
00:37:06,543 --> 00:37:08,902
You knew I was gonna be
with Greg Pierson three days ago,
606
00:37:08,965 --> 00:37:11,088
and you called his tip-line
with two bogus addresses
607
00:37:11,153 --> 00:37:13,351
so you could lure me
to that street corner
608
00:37:13,687 --> 00:37:15,657
where you were waiting to kill me.
609
00:37:16,853 --> 00:37:18,001
But you missed.
610
00:37:18,187 --> 00:37:20,737
You don't know
what you're talking about.
611
00:37:22,402 --> 00:37:24,888
Channel 8 recorded
your voice on this tip-line.
612
00:37:25,126 --> 00:37:27,429
I know where you can find
Alberto Ramirez.
613
00:37:27,852 --> 00:37:29,422
Are the elevator security cameras on?
614
00:37:29,541 --> 00:37:32,262
- Uh, yeah.
- Can you pull up this one?
615
00:37:32,771 --> 00:37:34,084
Do you have audio?
616
00:37:34,926 --> 00:37:37,528
Sergeant, I thought I told you
to take the rest of the week off.
617
00:37:37,570 --> 00:37:39,696
You have no idea
what you're talking about.
618
00:37:39,745 --> 00:37:42,452
The security cameras are recording
everything you and I are saying
619
00:37:42,509 --> 00:37:43,804
in this elevator right now.
620
00:37:43,923 --> 00:37:47,041
So all I have to do is match
what you say in here
621
00:37:47,272 --> 00:37:51,022
to that message you left on the tip-line
in our voice-recognition lab,
622
00:37:51,262 --> 00:37:53,011
and I can positively identify you.
623
00:37:53,131 --> 00:37:55,993
- We got a voice-recognition lab?
- Non.
624
00:37:56,367 --> 00:37:59,694
I can also match the gunshot residue
on your hands and face.
625
00:37:59,822 --> 00:38:02,794
Oh, I'm sure that you've washed them
thoroughly since then,
626
00:38:02,929 --> 00:38:05,067
but unless you wash them
with iodine and bleach,
627
00:38:05,180 --> 00:38:07,798
that residue stays on your skin
for five days.
628
00:38:08,137 --> 00:38:10,244
- It doesn't.
- And I'm quite sure
629
00:38:10,433 --> 00:38:12,923
that it will match
your father's ar15 rifle,
630
00:38:13,000 --> 00:38:15,535
which you could have easily converted
into an automatic weapon
631
00:38:15,636 --> 00:38:17,789
using a $20 kit you bought
on the internet.
632
00:38:17,881 --> 00:38:19,784
Look, lady, I don't know
who you think I am,
633
00:38:19,903 --> 00:38:22,301
but I don't know anything
about any of this, okay?
634
00:38:22,434 --> 00:38:27,032
- You're crazy.
- I... am... not... crazy.
635
00:38:33,455 --> 00:38:36,556
I'm not the one who shot
21 rounds into a police car.
636
00:38:36,668 --> 00:38:39,410
I'm not the one who tried
to make it look like a gang drive-by.
637
00:38:39,501 --> 00:38:41,398
I'm not the one who killed one person,
638
00:38:41,479 --> 00:38:43,996
wounded another, and then
returned to the scene of the crime
639
00:38:44,076 --> 00:38:45,307
to admire his handiwork.
640
00:38:45,359 --> 00:38:47,468
- You don't understand...
- Do you have any idea
641
00:38:47,592 --> 00:38:50,755
how the LAPD feels about someone
who tries to kill one of their own?
642
00:38:51,055 --> 00:38:52,725
Two of their own?
643
00:38:53,181 --> 00:38:56,756
My partner, my friend,
was in that car with me.
644
00:38:57,910 --> 00:38:59,938
And it doesn't end
with the police, Bill.
645
00:39:00,271 --> 00:39:02,426
Judges, juries, prison guards...
646
00:39:02,570 --> 00:39:05,623
they all share a special contempt
for someone who tries to hunt down
647
00:39:05,815 --> 00:39:08,029
and murder a police officer.
648
00:39:08,166 --> 00:39:09,997
That's a capital crime, Bill.
649
00:39:10,140 --> 00:39:11,624
You think this elevator's small?
650
00:39:11,704 --> 00:39:13,626
Just wait until you step
into the gas chamber.
651
00:39:13,745 --> 00:39:16,374
- Why are you doing this to me?
- Why am I doing this to you?!
652
00:39:16,704 --> 00:39:18,374
You're the one who tried to kill me.
653
00:39:18,494 --> 00:39:21,723
- No, I didn't. I swear to...
- Yes, you did. I was there, Bill.
654
00:39:22,077 --> 00:39:24,296
A bullet went into
the back of my car seat,
655
00:39:24,525 --> 00:39:26,472
and if I hadn't ducked,
I would be dead.
656
00:39:26,591 --> 00:39:29,179
And what did I ever do to you?
What did I ever do?
657
00:39:29,280 --> 00:39:31,851
Nothing. I swear.
Why did I deserve to sit curled up
658
00:39:31,987 --> 00:39:35,834
in the footwell of my car
while blood and glass rained down on me?
659
00:39:36,023 --> 00:39:38,556
Why me, Bill?
Why did you try to kill me?
660
00:39:38,652 --> 00:39:40,547
I wasn't aiming at you!
661
00:39:44,550 --> 00:39:46,006
It was him!
662
00:39:47,090 --> 00:39:48,099
Pierson.
663
00:39:48,921 --> 00:39:51,230
- He killed my father.
- Your father committed suicide.
664
00:39:51,326 --> 00:39:52,396
No, he didn't!
665
00:39:53,797 --> 00:39:57,358
Pierson killed him with that story
he did on our restaurant!
666
00:39:57,446 --> 00:40:00,309
Hawthorn lodge was my dad's life.
667
00:40:00,932 --> 00:40:04,901
And Pierson destroyed it.
He planted those rats! I know he did!
668
00:40:06,025 --> 00:40:09,027
M- my dad n-never did anything
to deserve that.
669
00:40:09,176 --> 00:40:11,098
He never did anything to anybody.
670
00:40:11,178 --> 00:40:12,825
So you shot him.
671
00:40:13,622 --> 00:40:14,622
Yeah.
672
00:40:22,881 --> 00:40:27,786
I... I never meant
for anyone else to get hurt.
673
00:40:28,178 --> 00:40:29,199
I didn't.
674
00:40:29,940 --> 00:40:32,544
I did not... I didn't even know
you were gonna be there
675
00:40:32,663 --> 00:40:34,767
until you picked him up in the car.
676
00:40:35,266 --> 00:40:38,476
And, look,
I know how to use a gun, okay?
677
00:40:38,896 --> 00:40:42,454
I was so careful not to aim at you.
678
00:40:43,166 --> 00:40:44,757
And I came back...
679
00:40:44,952 --> 00:40:48,582
I came back to make sure
that you were okay. I did!
680
00:40:50,534 --> 00:40:52,545
And y-you are, you know. You...
681
00:40:55,637 --> 00:40:56,701
You're okay.
682
00:41:02,450 --> 00:41:04,958
People need to know
what he did to my dad.
683
00:41:06,512 --> 00:41:08,462
People need to know the truth.
684
00:41:09,014 --> 00:41:10,141
They will.
685
00:41:11,980 --> 00:41:13,841
Get back! Back against the wall!
686
00:41:14,100 --> 00:41:17,075
Turn around! Turn around!
687
00:41:17,266 --> 00:41:18,392
What's going on?!
688
00:41:18,514 --> 00:41:20,652
- Don't move!
- I don't understand what's happening!
689
00:41:20,732 --> 00:41:22,583
- Face the wall!
- But you're okay.
690
00:41:22,696 --> 00:41:26,164
I'm alive but I'm not okay.
691
00:41:28,586 --> 00:41:30,399
Don't ever do that again.
692
00:41:32,005 --> 00:41:35,834
Look, I'm gonna need my purse back
from evidence...
693
00:41:36,350 --> 00:41:37,435
please.
694
00:41:48,453 --> 00:41:50,627
It was really nice of you
to invite us for dinner.
695
00:41:50,747 --> 00:41:53,237
It's our way of saying thank you.
696
00:41:53,370 --> 00:41:57,649
So, Brenda, Roy was telling us
that we really need to see the...
697
00:41:57,752 --> 00:42:01,777
- Oh, what is the name of that museum?
- The getty. Ever been, Fritz?
698
00:42:03,832 --> 00:42:06,126
- No, Roy, I haven't.
- It's awesome.
699
00:42:06,532 --> 00:42:09,256
And your father is interested
in visiting
700
00:42:09,433 --> 00:42:13,239
that aircraft carrier
at the maritime museum in San Diego.
701
00:42:13,373 --> 00:42:15,858
- That seemed a bit of...
- Fritz and I are engaged.
702
00:42:18,862 --> 00:42:20,112
I knew it!
703
00:42:20,735 --> 00:42:22,903
- Nice. Good for you.
- How did you know?
704
00:42:23,025 --> 00:42:25,095
A mother knows these things.
705
00:42:25,283 --> 00:42:29,676
And besides, your hand kept
reaching over to feel your ring finger
706
00:42:29,820 --> 00:42:31,484
as if something was missing.
707
00:42:31,564 --> 00:42:33,536
Well, it was in evidence.
708
00:42:33,808 --> 00:42:38,973
- Here it is.
- Oh, honey, that is beautiful.
709
00:42:39,384 --> 00:42:43,288
Well, agent Howard
of the federal bureau of investigation,
710
00:42:43,568 --> 00:42:45,574
did it not occur to you
to pick up a telephone
711
00:42:45,678 --> 00:42:47,600
and call and ask for my blessing?
712
00:42:48,913 --> 00:42:50,697
Well, I'm sorry, sir,
713
00:42:51,166 --> 00:42:54,260
but Brenda and I are both adults,
and I love your daughter.
714
00:42:58,248 --> 00:43:01,623
Relax, son. I'm just messing with you.
Come on.
715
00:43:02,433 --> 00:43:05,371
You do hug, don't you?
I mean, you have a cat.
716
00:43:10,461 --> 00:43:13,925
- That's not my cat.
- It is now, son.
717
00:43:14,112 --> 00:43:17,186
And you better make that cat
very happy.
718
00:43:17,894 --> 00:43:20,570
Hey, you two, smile.
