MAN: Previously on Major Crimes...
2
00:00:03,503 --> 00:00:04,697
What's Mr Stroh want now?
3
00:00:04,904 --> 00:00:07,737
You got one week to get rid
of either the boy or the woman.
4
00:00:07,941 --> 00:00:11,843
So, our dead gangbangers
were murdered by the same guy
5
00:00:12,045 --> 00:00:13,774
who was writing letters
for Phillip Stroh?
6
00:00:13,980 --> 00:00:15,777
We're real close to catching him.
7
00:00:18,018 --> 00:00:19,212
RAYDOR: LAPD!
8
00:00:21,221 --> 00:00:22,347
It's not over yet.
9
00:00:22,555 --> 00:00:25,285
Unfortunately, the guy who tried
to kill you is still out there.
10
00:00:25,492 --> 00:00:29,053
Rusty, next week, you take
the stand against Phillip Stroh.
11
00:00:32,198 --> 00:00:34,223
(PANTING)
12
00:00:54,988 --> 00:00:56,182
(GRUNTING)
13
00:01:00,994 --> 00:01:02,484
Get off!
(GRUNTING CONTINUES)
14
00:01:05,865 --> 00:01:07,856

(GASPS)
18
00:02:26,679 --> 00:02:27,873
JULIO: It's all right.
19
00:02:28,815 --> 00:02:30,612
I wake up screaming too.
20
00:02:37,857 --> 00:02:40,121
This place is pretty scary, huh?
21
00:02:41,361 --> 00:02:43,556
You'll feel better after you say
your piece in court today.
22
00:02:43,763 --> 00:02:46,596
- Has there been an arrest?
- Don't worry about that guy.
23
00:02:46,799 --> 00:02:48,130
I'm gonna kill that guy.
24
00:02:48,635 --> 00:02:50,398
But what if he doesn't turn up?
25
00:02:50,603 --> 00:02:54,334
That's enough, Julio. Mr Beck,
you need to start getting ready.
26
00:02:54,541 --> 00:02:56,236
We got a big morning ahead of us.
27
00:02:56,476 --> 00:02:58,410
(KNOCK ON DOOR)
28
00:03:03,683 --> 00:03:05,150
Sit down.
Sit!
29
00:03:05,351 --> 00:03:07,216
- Yeah?
- SYKES: It's me.
30
00:03:15,128 --> 00:03:19,588
God, this place! Ever thought about
cleaning after yourself, Lieutenant?
31
00:03:19,799 --> 00:03:24,327
Yeah, the last person that said
that to me, Sykes, I divorced. Twice.
32
00:03:25,538 --> 00:03:28,132
Rusty, stop helping her
and get in the shower.
33
00:03:28,341 --> 00:03:29,740
What if there's news?
34
00:03:31,811 --> 00:03:33,039
There's not.
35
00:03:33,246 --> 00:03:34,804
We've followed up on
every single person
36
00:03:34,981 --> 00:03:37,472
for whom Phillip Stroh
served as defense counsel.
37
00:03:37,684 --> 00:03:39,584
Lot of fun, since he specialized
in sex crimes.
38
00:03:39,619 --> 00:03:41,519
And none of them are
connected to our suspect.
39
00:03:41,721 --> 00:03:43,211
Well, that can't be right.
40
00:03:43,423 --> 00:03:46,756
Okay, so this guy, this suspect...
41
00:03:46,960 --> 00:03:49,087
...is he going
to come after me again?
42
00:03:55,168 --> 00:03:56,465
We have his fingerprints.
43
00:03:56,669 --> 00:03:58,500
We have his DNA.
44
00:03:58,705 --> 00:04:02,471
We have bullets from his gun.
We have his face on film.
45
00:04:02,675 --> 00:04:05,701
And now we have
the FBI helping us, too.
46
00:04:05,912 --> 00:04:08,210
We will find this guy.
47
00:04:09,816 --> 00:04:10,942
I promise.
48
00:04:12,552 --> 00:04:13,678
We'll find him.
49
00:04:15,488 --> 00:04:17,251
Unfortunately, it's
gonna take a while.
50
00:04:17,457 --> 00:04:20,085
This is the best picture of his face
we could pull off your video
51
00:04:20,126 --> 00:04:21,024
from the chess park.
52
00:04:21,194 --> 00:04:23,719
RAYDOR: We've used
every image-processing tool available
53
00:04:23,830 --> 00:04:25,092
to create this composite.
54
00:04:25,231 --> 00:04:28,064
- But without a better front-facing view...
- We're screwed.
55
00:04:28,368 --> 00:04:31,735
So far, no hit off his prints or DNA
to any database, State or Federal.
56
00:04:31,938 --> 00:04:34,736
The bullets from his gun
don't match up to a known weapon.
57
00:04:34,941 --> 00:04:37,774
So, besides this loose
connection to Phillip Stroh,
58
00:04:37,977 --> 00:04:40,275
what's the sum total
we say about this man?
59
00:04:40,480 --> 00:04:43,711
He's white. About 5'10".
25 to 35 years of age.
60
00:04:43,916 --> 00:04:44,905
And get this.
61
00:04:45,385 --> 00:04:47,478
A bar customer where he picked
up his last victim said
62
00:04:47,520 --> 00:04:49,613
that the freak had
a good sense of humour.
63
00:04:50,089 --> 00:04:51,784
Which means
he's socially skilled.
64
00:04:51,958 --> 00:04:53,721
And from the way
he interacted with Rusty,
65
00:04:53,960 --> 00:04:57,123
it's equally clear that he is
comfortable with young people.
66
00:04:59,966 --> 00:05:02,434
Whenever I feel bad
about the stuff I've done...
67
00:05:03,202 --> 00:05:05,136
...I remember.
68
00:05:05,338 --> 00:05:07,602
Who I was isn't who I can be.
69
00:05:07,807 --> 00:05:11,470
The streets... they brought out
my worst instincts.
70
00:05:13,646 --> 00:05:15,978
But they could also
bring out my best.
71
00:05:16,182 --> 00:05:19,948
If I fight to do better,
who I become is up to me.
72
00:05:21,521 --> 00:05:23,648
- It's up to me.
- Good work, Jake.
73
00:05:24,390 --> 00:05:26,119
Remember that, guys.
It's up to you.
74
00:05:26,326 --> 00:05:27,884
It is up to you.
75
00:05:29,462 --> 00:05:30,690
Well done.
76
00:05:33,466 --> 00:05:35,195
So, I'll see you all tomorrow.
77
00:05:35,234 --> 00:05:36,963
And remember to hand your
attendance slips into the office.
78
00:05:42,875 --> 00:05:45,400
I thought Mrs Whitley
gave you this week off.
79
00:05:45,611 --> 00:05:47,579
She did, but before I left...
80
00:05:47,780 --> 00:05:50,476
What happened there?
Did you hurt yourself?
81
00:05:50,616 --> 00:05:54,677
Oh. Yeah, I know.
I fell off my bike. First time ever.
82
00:05:54,887 --> 00:05:56,582
I meant to go away, but I thought...
83
00:05:56,789 --> 00:06:00,247
I know. You're waiting for Tyler
to come back, aren't you?
84
00:06:00,460 --> 00:06:01,791
He hasn't checked in
with us for three days.
85
00:06:01,828 --> 00:06:02,988
I just want to
make sure he's okay.
86
00:06:03,329 --> 00:06:07,459
Wade, I hate to see you wasting this
much energy on another hopeless kid.
87
00:06:07,667 --> 00:06:10,534
Tyler's more trouble
than he's worth, I promise you.
88
00:06:10,737 --> 00:06:12,705
We can't just abandon children
because they're troubled.
89
00:06:12,839 --> 00:06:15,706
We don't abandon kids.
They abandon us.
90
00:06:15,908 --> 00:06:18,035
And you ought to know that by now.
91
00:06:18,244 --> 00:06:21,008
Look, finish up your work
and take your vacation.
92
00:06:22,115 --> 00:06:24,879
Honestly, you look like
you could use a little getaway.
93
00:06:29,155 --> 00:06:30,782
The good news is he's localized.
94
00:06:31,023 --> 00:06:34,515
His letters were mailed from post
offices within this seven-mile radius.
95
00:06:34,694 --> 00:06:38,687
Now, our behavioral-science guys
feel pretty sure he lives in LA.
96
00:06:38,898 --> 00:06:39,956
What about the couch covers?
97
00:06:40,933 --> 00:06:45,370
They come from a company in Phoenix
called Imperial Synthetics.
98
00:06:45,571 --> 00:06:47,869
Sykes has been going
through their invoices
99
00:06:47,974 --> 00:06:49,100
from the past three years,
100
00:06:49,409 --> 00:06:51,707
cross-referencing them
with everything else we know.
101
00:06:51,911 --> 00:06:53,003
It might take a while.
102
00:06:53,212 --> 00:06:55,680
Captain, Phillip Stroh's attorney
is waiting in the break room.
103
00:06:55,882 --> 00:06:58,783
Linda Rothman is here?
104
00:07:01,187 --> 00:07:02,654
Linda!
105
00:07:02,855 --> 00:07:06,018
It's not like you to pay social calls
right before a hearing.
106
00:07:06,225 --> 00:07:09,092
Once again, the LAPD
jumps to the wrong conclusions.
107
00:07:09,295 --> 00:07:12,355
I'm here to see Rios,
but since you're both available
108
00:07:12,565 --> 00:07:14,590
perhaps you can
help our young DDA...
109
00:07:14,801 --> 00:07:17,235
understand the rare opportunity
I'm about to offer her.
110
00:07:17,303 --> 00:07:19,863
Uh-huh. Just... get to the point.
111
00:07:20,072 --> 00:07:22,597
Unless the situation has
been grossly exaggerated
112
00:07:22,642 --> 00:07:23,939
to justify a preliminary hearing,
113
00:07:24,143 --> 00:07:26,373
I understand
some deranged young man
114
00:07:26,579 --> 00:07:28,672
has tried to murder
your material witness?
115
00:07:31,417 --> 00:07:33,385
That is not an exaggeration.
116
00:07:34,320 --> 00:07:36,584
My client believes he may know
the identity of this young man.
117
00:07:36,789 --> 00:07:38,188
Really?
What a shock.
118
00:07:38,391 --> 00:07:40,552
Ms Rothman,
we already have evidence
119
00:07:40,760 --> 00:07:43,729
that Mr Stroh is in communication
with this psychopath.
120
00:07:43,896 --> 00:07:45,295
That's not really evidence, is it?
121
00:07:45,565 --> 00:07:47,692
An uncorroborated statement from
a rapist who barely speaks English?
122
00:07:48,434 --> 00:07:50,800
Before you get hot
under your kevlar vests,
123
00:07:51,137 --> 00:07:54,800
allow me to tell you a story that
I feel could make a big difference
124
00:07:54,841 --> 00:07:55,535
in all our lives.
125
00:07:56,442 --> 00:07:59,206
Afew years ago,
a boy like Rusty Beck,
126
00:07:59,412 --> 00:08:03,109
homeless, abandoned disappeared
off the streets of Los Angeles.
127
00:08:03,316 --> 00:08:05,841
Atypically for a teenager
in his situation,
128
00:08:06,052 --> 00:08:07,883
this boy was reported
missing to the police.
129
00:08:08,087 --> 00:08:10,715
The detective investigating
his disappearance
130
00:08:10,923 --> 00:08:14,552
managed to alarm a potential
suspect, a young man,
131
00:08:14,794 --> 00:08:18,457
who, in turn, contacted a lawyer
specializing in sex crimes;
132
00:08:18,631 --> 00:08:22,089
an attorney named Phillip Stroh.
133
00:08:23,002 --> 00:08:24,697
Ms Rothman...
134
00:08:27,707 --> 00:08:30,767
...if the suspect
that you are referring to
135
00:08:30,977 --> 00:08:34,174
is the man who tried
to kill my material witness,
136
00:08:34,380 --> 00:08:36,974
and you are
withholding that name,
137
00:08:37,183 --> 00:08:40,550
then you had better give it to us.
138
00:08:41,787 --> 00:08:42,776
Right now.
139
00:08:43,856 --> 00:08:46,416
Did I imply that I knew
this person's identity?
140
00:08:46,626 --> 00:08:49,925
No. I am simply relaying
information I received last night.
141
00:08:51,831 --> 00:08:53,355
Let's go back
to the other thing.
142
00:08:53,599 --> 00:08:56,363
Did you say Phillip Stroh may have
helped someone get away
143
00:08:56,536 --> 00:08:58,731
with kidnapping a teenage boy?
144
00:09:00,006 --> 00:09:02,270
I'm not sure it was just the one boy.
145
00:09:02,475 --> 00:09:05,000
Or that the crime
ended with kidnapping.
146
00:09:05,211 --> 00:09:07,042
This was delivered
to my house last night.
147
00:09:07,079 --> 00:09:08,046
As you can see,
I haven't opened it.
148
00:09:08,247 --> 00:09:10,545
But I can guess its contents.
149
00:09:16,756 --> 00:09:18,348
There are six names here.
150
00:09:23,863 --> 00:09:24,830
Six names?
151
00:09:27,333 --> 00:09:28,823
How horrible.
152
00:09:29,035 --> 00:09:32,163
However, I will remind you that
the young man Phillip Stroh advised
153
00:09:32,371 --> 00:09:34,202
was never charged with any crimes.
154
00:09:34,407 --> 00:09:35,704
Could we have more context?
155
00:09:35,908 --> 00:09:39,810
Perhaps running the names in that
envelope could provide you with that.
156
00:09:40,012 --> 00:09:43,345
Or, given recent events,
Mr Stroh might be convinced
157
00:09:43,549 --> 00:09:46,245
to set aside privilege
and identify this man.
158
00:09:46,452 --> 00:09:48,420
If you postpone
his preliminary hearing,
159
00:09:48,621 --> 00:09:50,213
take the death penalty
off the table,
160
00:09:50,423 --> 00:09:53,017
and allow him to serve his sentence
in the Federal prison of his choosing.
161
00:09:57,897 --> 00:09:59,797
Excuse me.
One moment.
162
00:10:05,471 --> 00:10:08,269
Rios, this offer gives you two
for the price of one.
163
00:10:08,474 --> 00:10:10,203
Take it and be grateful.
164
00:10:19,719 --> 00:10:23,450
Here we go.
Charles Perry, 16.
165
00:10:23,656 --> 00:10:26,819
A runaway found dead from multiple
stab wounds three years ago.
166
00:10:27,026 --> 00:10:30,792
The next names are teenage boys who
went off the grid the year before.
167
00:10:31,030 --> 00:10:34,363
Another kid on Stroh's list was
reported missing in Vegas in 2010.
168
00:10:34,533 --> 00:10:38,970
Gary Barton was arrested multiple
times for solicitation in 2011.
169
00:10:39,171 --> 00:10:40,263
Then nothing, ma'am.
170
00:10:40,573 --> 00:10:42,268
Finally! The DNAfrom our suspect.
171
00:10:42,475 --> 00:10:43,635
You found him?
172
00:10:43,843 --> 00:10:45,902
Afamilial hit to a Susan Mills
173
00:10:45,978 --> 00:10:48,037
currently being held
at Metropolitan Detention Center
174
00:10:48,214 --> 00:10:50,239
on a 20-year
Federal drug sentence.
175
00:10:50,449 --> 00:10:53,009
99 percent probability
this is our guy's mother.
176
00:10:56,422 --> 00:10:59,255
Ah, Captain, thank you
for coming back so fast.
177
00:10:59,458 --> 00:11:01,824
Rios has taken an extremely
stubborn attitude toward...
178
00:11:02,028 --> 00:11:04,929
Ms Rothman, we have located
the mother of our suspect.
179
00:11:05,364 --> 00:11:07,161
I expect that within a few hours
180
00:11:07,366 --> 00:11:10,767
she will give us the name
that Phillip Stroh is withholding.
181
00:11:10,936 --> 00:11:15,805
And I don't think that we'll need to
offer your client a deal after all.
182
00:11:15,941 --> 00:11:16,771
Hm.
183
00:11:18,110 --> 00:11:20,374
Without a deal,
I'll have no choice
184
00:11:20,579 --> 00:11:23,810
but to discredit
the people's material witness,
185
00:11:24,016 --> 00:11:25,881
if that means anything to you.
186
00:11:26,085 --> 00:11:28,246
Please tell Phillip Stroh we're
looking forward to seeing him
187
00:11:28,287 --> 00:11:30,448
Downtown in one hour, as planned.
188
00:11:30,656 --> 00:11:33,022
The accused has a right
to face his accuser
189
00:11:33,225 --> 00:11:34,692
not an obligation.
190
00:11:34,894 --> 00:11:38,330
Mr Stroh feels under the weather.
We'll continue without him.
191
00:11:40,433 --> 00:11:44,028
Linda, Stroh can still
save us the time it would take
192
00:11:44,236 --> 00:11:47,262
to pull this freak's name
from his mother.
193
00:11:47,473 --> 00:11:50,601
Yes, I almost forgot to say
as far as securing Mama's help...
194
00:11:51,477 --> 00:11:52,842
...I wish you luck.
195
00:11:55,214 --> 00:11:56,806
See you in a bit, Rios.
196
00:12:06,726 --> 00:12:10,719
So, Sharon's not even
coming to, like, say hello?
197
00:12:10,930 --> 00:12:12,363
She'd rather be here
198
00:12:12,565 --> 00:12:15,693
but she's hunting for the guy
who tried to kill you.
199
00:12:15,901 --> 00:12:19,337
Okay, well, why can't you come in?
Just for the beginning.
200
00:12:19,538 --> 00:12:23,030
I can't listen to you on the stand.
I'm involved in this case, too.
201
00:12:23,242 --> 00:12:25,733
Hearing you could
get my testimony excluded.
202
00:12:25,945 --> 00:12:29,108
Okay, what happens
after I finish today?
203
00:12:29,315 --> 00:12:31,112
Do I get to go home?
204
00:12:32,184 --> 00:12:37,349
If Rios can introduce the threatening
letters against you as evidence,
205
00:12:37,523 --> 00:12:39,684
and you do a good job...
206
00:12:41,560 --> 00:12:45,496
...then, yeah, you can maybe go home.
207
00:12:49,068 --> 00:12:52,196
And if the letters get...
What was the word you said?
208
00:12:52,738 --> 00:12:55,332
"Excluded."
Don't think about that.
209
00:12:56,108 --> 00:13:01,307
Look... this is definitely
not the advice I usually give.
210
00:13:01,514 --> 00:13:05,814
But when you get in there,
be completely honest.
211
00:13:06,685 --> 00:13:10,849
If you tell a lie or even try
to cover anything up,
212
00:13:11,056 --> 00:13:15,425
that Rothman woman will smell it
like a shark does blood.
213
00:13:16,529 --> 00:13:18,156
And you, my friend...
214
00:13:19,398 --> 00:13:21,525
...will be dead in the water.
215
00:13:23,135 --> 00:13:25,467
I think I need to teach you
216
00:13:25,671 --> 00:13:28,037
how to tie this knot yourself.
217
00:13:35,114 --> 00:13:36,479
You're up, kid.
218
00:13:37,082 --> 00:13:38,049
Thank you.
219
00:13:49,094 --> 00:13:52,996
As you walk through that door,
just remember I'm very proud of you.
220
00:13:55,501 --> 00:13:56,559
Very proud.
221
00:14:27,366 --> 00:14:30,164
JUDGE: Remain standing
and raise your right hand.
222
00:14:30,369 --> 00:14:32,030
Do you solemnly swear
to tell the truth,
223
00:14:32,238 --> 00:14:34,763
the whole truth, and nothing
but the truth, so help you God?
224
00:14:35,774 --> 00:14:37,537
- I do.
- Be seated.
225
00:14:38,444 --> 00:14:40,844
Could you please spell your name
for the record?
226
00:14:41,046 --> 00:14:45,073
Sure. It's Russell.
R-U-S-S-E-L-L.
227
00:14:45,284 --> 00:14:47,047
Thomas, T-H-O-M-A-S...
228
00:14:48,020 --> 00:14:51,183
As ajuvenile, your first name
and middle initial are plenty.
229
00:14:51,390 --> 00:14:53,290
DDA Rios, your direct.
230
00:14:53,492 --> 00:14:54,823
Thank you, Judge Grove.
231
00:14:56,095 --> 00:14:58,359
Russell, how do people
normally address you?
232
00:14:59,565 --> 00:15:02,500
- Everyone calls me Rusty.
- Where do you reside, Rusty?
233
00:15:02,701 --> 00:15:05,932
44111 Los Feliz Boulevard,
Apartment 1109.
234
00:15:06,138 --> 00:15:07,503
And with whom do you live?
235
00:15:08,407 --> 00:15:11,899
My guardian.
Captain Sharon Raydor of the LAPD.
236
00:15:12,111 --> 00:15:14,773
Why don't you live with family?
237
00:15:14,947 --> 00:15:16,676
My father...
238
00:15:21,587 --> 00:15:24,647
Sorry. My father signed away
his parental rights last year.
239
00:15:25,424 --> 00:15:28,120
And a while before that, my mother...
240
00:15:30,229 --> 00:15:31,787
She ran off with her boyfriend.
241
00:15:32,665 --> 00:15:35,031
And why did she leave you?
242
00:15:37,269 --> 00:15:39,100
Her boyfriend didn't like me.
243
00:15:39,305 --> 00:15:40,567
And my mom had...
244
00:15:42,274 --> 00:15:44,003
Has... has a drug problem.
245
00:15:44,209 --> 00:15:45,471
I'm not sure.
246
00:15:45,678 --> 00:15:49,705
Look, if you wanna know why my mom
ran off, you have to ask her.
247
00:15:50,582 --> 00:15:53,210
But... you'd have to find her first.
248
00:15:58,057 --> 00:16:01,754
RAYDOR: Thank you for allowing us
to interview you today Ms Mills.
249
00:16:01,961 --> 00:16:03,758
Do you know why you're here?
250
00:16:03,963 --> 00:16:07,364
- Something about my son, Ryan?
- How many sons do you have?
251
00:16:07,566 --> 00:16:10,729
Just one, but I haven't
seen him since 1998.
252
00:16:10,936 --> 00:16:12,460
Before I stopped using heroin.
253
00:16:12,671 --> 00:16:16,004
Wonderful! There are 97 Ryan Mills
in the Federal database.
254
00:16:16,208 --> 00:16:19,041
Think we could have come up with
a suspect with a more common name?
255
00:16:19,244 --> 00:16:23,271
We're especially interested
in where Ryan might be living now.
256
00:16:23,482 --> 00:16:24,881
Where Ryan might be living?
257
00:16:29,121 --> 00:16:30,645
I have no idea.
258
00:16:31,623 --> 00:16:33,716
Anyway, if he's in trouble,
why would I help you?
259
00:16:33,926 --> 00:16:36,087
Maybe 'cause you're
up for parole in six months.
260
00:16:36,295 --> 00:16:39,093
How do you feel about
another five years in prison?
261
00:16:40,799 --> 00:16:41,959
Your Honor, I object.
262
00:16:42,167 --> 00:16:44,397
I fail to see how the sad story
of Russell's adolescence
263
00:16:44,503 --> 00:16:46,095
relates to the charges
against my client?
264
00:16:46,305 --> 00:16:48,205
Your Honor, if the defense doesn't
plan to ask Rusty questions
265
00:16:48,240 --> 00:16:50,140
about his time on the streets...
266
00:16:50,342 --> 00:16:52,833
I never suggested the witness's
character should be off the table.
267
00:16:52,978 --> 00:16:56,277
- Ms Rothman, you're overruled.
- Thank you, Your Honour.
268
00:16:57,349 --> 00:17:01,342
Rusty, when you found yourself alone
on the streets in Los Angeles,
269
00:17:01,553 --> 00:17:02,952
how did you survive?
270
00:17:07,426 --> 00:17:08,393
Hustling.
271
00:17:10,162 --> 00:17:14,326
Mostly... I hustled.
272
00:17:14,533 --> 00:17:17,593
By hustling, you mean
engaging in acts of sex-for-hire
273
00:17:17,803 --> 00:17:20,670
with men who picked you up
on the street?
274
00:17:22,374 --> 00:17:23,898
Yes, that's what I mean.
275
00:17:25,210 --> 00:17:26,268
It was easy money.
276
00:17:26,879 --> 00:17:29,848
I was just trying to find some way
for Ryan and me to survive.
277
00:17:30,049 --> 00:17:32,745
- And pay for your drug habit?
- Yes.
278
00:17:33,986 --> 00:17:38,446
I was strung out back then,
but one night we met a man.
279
00:17:38,657 --> 00:17:42,684
A nice man. I thought
he was a nice man. Henry Jinks.
280
00:17:43,562 --> 00:17:46,395
He took an interest in us.
We moved in with him for a while.
281
00:17:46,598 --> 00:17:49,158
He had a place in Marina del Rey.
282
00:17:52,271 --> 00:17:55,138
I'm not sure you'll understand
what happened after that.
283
00:17:55,340 --> 00:17:56,898
It doesn't sound
that complicated.
284
00:17:57,109 --> 00:17:59,202
You needed heroin
and a place to stay.
285
00:17:59,411 --> 00:18:01,811
You started sleeping
with Henry Jinks.
286
00:18:02,381 --> 00:18:03,541
No.
287
00:18:05,317 --> 00:18:07,148
I didn't sleep with him.
288
00:18:09,888 --> 00:18:11,378
Not me.
289
00:18:17,196 --> 00:18:18,254
My God.
290
00:18:18,464 --> 00:18:22,059
I'll go run Henry Jinks's name.
See what comes up.
291
00:18:22,267 --> 00:18:27,500
Are you saying that this really
great guy slept with your son?
292
00:18:29,141 --> 00:18:30,733
There were two bedrooms.
293
00:18:31,910 --> 00:18:34,902
I had one.
Henry and Ryan shared the other.
294
00:18:36,048 --> 00:18:38,141
I didn't think anything of it
at the time.
295
00:18:38,350 --> 00:18:41,046
Except Ryan
had more stability in his life.
296
00:18:42,454 --> 00:18:44,547
How old was Ryan at the time?
297
00:18:47,493 --> 00:18:48,482
Fourteen.
298
00:18:51,196 --> 00:18:52,185
Almost.
299
00:18:54,333 --> 00:18:55,925
Almost 14.
300
00:18:57,136 --> 00:19:00,537
This is very hard to talk about.
I'm a different person now.
301
00:19:00,739 --> 00:19:03,640
I've written Ryan
several letters of apology
302
00:19:03,842 --> 00:19:05,002
in case he ever found me.
303
00:19:05,210 --> 00:19:06,472
Part of my making amends.
304
00:19:06,678 --> 00:19:09,579
Letter writing,
runs in the family, I guess.
305
00:19:09,781 --> 00:19:13,114
And what did you make amends
to Ryan for in those letters?
306
00:19:13,819 --> 00:19:15,582
Henry stopped
bringing home drugs.
307
00:19:16,588 --> 00:19:18,249
Which was very hard for me.
308
00:19:21,560 --> 00:19:23,027
So Henry...
309
00:19:25,597 --> 00:19:27,531
He gave me $20,000.
310
00:19:29,001 --> 00:19:32,528
To go and start my life over
in San Francisco.
311
00:19:33,972 --> 00:19:35,098
Without Ryan?
312
00:19:36,208 --> 00:19:37,903
I was coming back on his birthday.
313
00:19:38,610 --> 00:19:40,077
And when was that?
The date?
314
00:19:40,279 --> 00:19:42,304
September 15, 1998.
315
00:19:42,514 --> 00:19:45,483
And I did come back,
but Henry had moved away,
316
00:19:45,684 --> 00:19:48,209
and... he took...
317
00:19:50,022 --> 00:19:52,286
He... He took Ryan with him.
318
00:19:52,891 --> 00:19:54,518
Finally something we can use.
319
00:19:54,726 --> 00:19:59,026
He was 14 in 1998.
That makes him 29 now.
320
00:19:59,231 --> 00:20:00,459
Run this through the DMV.
321
00:20:00,666 --> 00:20:04,102
See how many guys we turn up
that are from Los Angeles county
322
00:20:04,303 --> 00:20:07,704
and they were born
on September 15, 1984.
323
00:20:07,906 --> 00:20:08,634
Yes, sir.
324
00:20:08,807 --> 00:20:10,672
Don't you think he might
have changed his identity by now?
325
00:20:10,909 --> 00:20:13,275
Criminals change their names
all the time,
326
00:20:13,445 --> 00:20:15,970
but they almost always
keep their birthday.
327
00:20:16,181 --> 00:20:17,978
Keep me posted, guys.
328
00:20:18,183 --> 00:20:19,650
I'm gonna check on something
for your captain.
329
00:20:23,488 --> 00:20:24,921
Maybe I should never have
gone away in the first place.
330
00:20:24,957 --> 00:20:26,356
(SNIFFS)
331
00:20:27,125 --> 00:20:30,526
Maybe...
Maybe... I should've waited it out.
332
00:20:35,167 --> 00:20:37,635
Tyler! You're back! Finally!
333
00:20:37,836 --> 00:20:41,203
- Hey, Wade. What? You miss me?
- Where have you been?
334
00:20:41,406 --> 00:20:42,395
You know how it is...
335
00:20:42,641 --> 00:20:44,472
One minute you're bumming
a cigarette on Santa Monica Boulevard.
336
00:20:44,710 --> 00:20:46,541
The next you're waking up
on Zuma Beach.
337
00:20:46,745 --> 00:20:50,340
- Why? Something wrong?
- I have to leave.
338
00:20:54,453 --> 00:20:57,047
What do you mean, "leave"?
What, like, away from LA?
339
00:20:59,124 --> 00:21:00,091
(SCOFFS)
Leave and go where?
340
00:21:00,292 --> 00:21:03,489
I don't know yet,
but I wanted to see you first.
341
00:21:03,695 --> 00:21:05,526
See if you were all right.
342
00:21:06,265 --> 00:21:07,664
You're all right, right?
343
00:21:08,400 --> 00:21:10,595
Wade... you can't go.
344
00:21:10,802 --> 00:21:14,499
You're the only person in the world
who actually cares about me.
345
00:21:14,706 --> 00:21:17,436
I feel the same way about you,
but I have to go. I have to.
346
00:21:17,643 --> 00:21:18,541
Why, though?
347
00:21:21,813 --> 00:21:23,212
Um...
348
00:21:23,915 --> 00:21:24,882
There's a guy.
349
00:21:32,190 --> 00:21:33,418
What guy?
350
00:21:34,559 --> 00:21:38,825
There's a guy I owed a favor to.
He wanted me to do something for him.
351
00:21:39,064 --> 00:21:41,430
I tried to get it done. I really did.
352
00:21:42,301 --> 00:21:43,359
But I couldn't.
353
00:21:44,536 --> 00:21:46,367
I would have left already, but I...
354
00:21:47,939 --> 00:21:51,841
I had to see you... to say goodbye.
355
00:21:52,044 --> 00:21:57,277
And... and to explain that my going
away has... nothing to do with you.
356
00:21:58,650 --> 00:21:59,674
Take me with you.
357
00:22:01,953 --> 00:22:04,387
Oh, man. Really?
358
00:22:07,959 --> 00:22:11,986
No, no, no. Tyler, I couldn't
do that. No, you need...
359
00:22:12,197 --> 00:22:13,596
Dude, I know what I need.
360
00:22:15,200 --> 00:22:16,167
I need you.
361
00:22:17,636 --> 00:22:18,933
Please don't leave without me.
362
00:22:20,739 --> 00:22:21,706
Please.
363
00:22:22,708 --> 00:22:24,141
WOMAN:
911. What's your emergency?
364
00:22:24,343 --> 00:22:26,470
RUSTY:
Someone just tried to kill me.
365
00:22:26,678 --> 00:22:28,646
That's the emergency. I got away.
366
00:22:28,847 --> 00:22:31,372
But, he hit me with a shovel
and he threw me over a cliff.
367
00:22:31,583 --> 00:22:35,747
- Do you need medical attention?
- No! But, the guy is still up there now.
368
00:22:35,954 --> 00:22:37,444
He was burying a body.
369
00:22:38,590 --> 00:22:42,822
That's the call the people's witness
described making to the authorities.
370
00:22:43,028 --> 00:22:44,427
The call that helped the LAPD
371
00:22:44,896 --> 00:22:49,299
find and unearth four murdered
girls buried in Griffith Park.
372
00:22:49,501 --> 00:22:54,097
The call that led this young man
to be detained by the police
373
00:22:54,306 --> 00:22:57,707
to be attacked by Phillip Stroh,
to be threatened
374
00:22:57,909 --> 00:22:59,968
at the defendants instigation,
from giving his testimony here...
375
00:23:00,412 --> 00:23:01,401
Objection!
376
00:23:01,546 --> 00:23:03,036
Your Honour, the prosecution
can present no evidence
377
00:23:03,248 --> 00:23:06,081
that my client attempted
to intimidate Russell in any way.
378
00:23:06,284 --> 00:23:09,685
Your Honour, we have almost
30 threatening letters sent to...
379
00:23:09,888 --> 00:23:11,753
The authenticity of those
letters is doubtful at best.
380
00:23:11,990 --> 00:23:14,356
Doutbful? That's not what
you were saying three hours ago!
381
00:23:14,559 --> 00:23:17,824
Hold on, ladies! I don't allow
cross-talk in this courtroom.
382
00:23:18,029 --> 00:23:19,792
You'll address me, not each other.
383
00:23:20,532 --> 00:23:24,127
First... what are
these threatening letters?
384
00:23:24,369 --> 00:23:27,532
Your Honour, both this boy
and his guardian Captain Raydor,
385
00:23:27,706 --> 00:23:30,436
received menacing letters saying
terrible things would happen...
386
00:23:30,642 --> 00:23:32,542
if they continued to
assist the prosecution.
387
00:23:32,677 --> 00:23:34,144
The people intend
to link those letters...
388
00:23:34,312 --> 00:23:37,804
What you intend to do and what you
can prove are two different things.
389
00:23:38,016 --> 00:23:40,041
Neither the prosecution,
nor the witness
390
00:23:40,085 --> 00:23:42,076
may enter these letters
into the record during the hearing
391
00:23:42,287 --> 00:23:43,879
if Ms Rothman objects.
392
00:23:44,556 --> 00:23:46,649
Let's keep it moving, DDA Rios.
393
00:23:46,858 --> 00:23:49,156
We still have
several witnesses to go.
394
00:23:51,897 --> 00:23:54,695
Your Honor, this is normally
when I would ask if Rusty
395
00:23:55,033 --> 00:23:56,398
could identify the person
in the courtroom
396
00:23:56,435 --> 00:23:57,766
who tried to kill him.
397
00:23:57,969 --> 00:24:01,598
But, by sheer coincidence,
Mr Stroh has fallen ill this morning.
398
00:24:01,807 --> 00:24:04,298
So, if I may approach the witness...
399
00:24:08,613 --> 00:24:11,173
Can you point out
which of these six men
400
00:24:11,349 --> 00:24:14,512
held a knife to your throat,
and slashed your leg?
401
00:24:18,757 --> 00:24:20,418
Sure. It's number four.
402
00:24:25,464 --> 00:24:30,561
Let the record show that the witness
identified a photo of Phillip Stroh.
403
00:24:30,769 --> 00:24:32,794
No further questions at this time,
Your Honour.
404
00:24:33,004 --> 00:24:34,335
Ms Rothman, your witness.
405
00:24:54,226 --> 00:24:59,095
You didn't wait for the police
after your heroic 911 call, did you?
406
00:24:59,297 --> 00:25:00,355
No, I didn't.
407
00:25:00,565 --> 00:25:03,363
Let's listen to the rest
of the conversation
408
00:25:03,635 --> 00:25:06,160
between the witness
and the emergency operator.
409
00:25:07,305 --> 00:25:09,432
- WOMAN: Sir...
- RUSTY: What are you looking at?
410
00:25:09,641 --> 00:25:11,734
Sir, are you under the influence?
411
00:25:11,943 --> 00:25:14,741
No, I'm not under the influence!
Are you?
412
00:25:14,946 --> 00:25:17,972
Or do you not care that you have
some killer on the loose?
413
00:25:18,183 --> 00:25:22,119
Sir, the GPS on your phone says
you're across from the Greek Theatre.
414
00:25:22,320 --> 00:25:26,222
Stand by the box office.
We'll send some police officers to you.
415
00:25:28,693 --> 00:25:31,321
Could you give me
your name and age, sir? Sir?
416
00:25:31,530 --> 00:25:34,124
Are you there?
Is anybody there? Hello?
417
00:25:35,367 --> 00:25:38,427
An emergency worker trained
to detect drug users
418
00:25:38,637 --> 00:25:41,868
over the phone,
inquired if you were high.
419
00:25:42,073 --> 00:25:44,541
- But I wasn't.
- Why not wait for the authorities?
420
00:25:44,743 --> 00:25:46,643
Because obviously, you knew
that the police would want
421
00:25:46,678 --> 00:25:48,578
to speak with a sober eyewitness.
422
00:25:48,780 --> 00:25:51,408
I wasn't drinking or taking drugs.
423
00:25:51,616 --> 00:25:53,208
Because, underage hustlers
never do anything like that, do they?
424
00:25:53,251 --> 00:25:54,843
Your Honour, I object!
425
00:25:55,053 --> 00:25:58,386
Even if Ms Rothman is more familiar
with underage hustlers,
426
00:25:58,590 --> 00:26:02,253
she can't make inferences about
the witness based on stereotyping.
427
00:26:02,494 --> 00:26:07,693
Sustained. Ms Rothman, the question
about drugs has been answered.
428
00:26:10,535 --> 00:26:14,562
When the police finally caught up
with you, they asked your age.
429
00:26:15,607 --> 00:26:16,904
What did you say, Russell?
430
00:26:18,043 --> 00:26:20,443
- That I was 18.
- But you weren't. You were 16.
431
00:26:20,645 --> 00:26:21,942
You lied, didn't you?
432
00:26:22,147 --> 00:26:24,547
- Yes, but only...
- What else did you lie about?
433
00:26:31,389 --> 00:26:34,290
About having sex for money.
434
00:26:35,060 --> 00:26:38,826
OK. So, how many lies
did you tell the police altogether?
435
00:26:39,030 --> 00:26:42,625
- Between five and ten, five and 500?
- I don't know.
436
00:26:42,834 --> 00:26:45,394
You lied about what
you were selling on the streets.
437
00:26:45,604 --> 00:26:48,596
Did you lie about why your mother
left you? About being gay?
438
00:26:48,807 --> 00:26:50,502
- Your Honour, I object!
- No one ever asked me that?
439
00:26:50,709 --> 00:26:54,270
The witness is a minor and
any question about his orientation
440
00:26:54,479 --> 00:26:57,414
is not only irrelevant,
but completely inappropriate.
441
00:26:57,616 --> 00:27:02,144
Sustained.
Ms Rothman, the witness is 17.
442
00:27:03,288 --> 00:27:04,915
Move on.
443
00:27:07,025 --> 00:27:08,390
(PHONE RINGING)
444
00:27:08,526 --> 00:27:09,493
Yes, Chief.
445
00:27:09,628 --> 00:27:12,597
I've been listening
to the kid testify.
446
00:27:12,664 --> 00:27:14,359
Thank you for that, Chief.
447
00:27:14,499 --> 00:27:16,899
- How's he holding up?
- Fine. Okay.
448
00:27:17,102 --> 00:27:19,935
When we first picked Rusty up,
he lied about his age,
449
00:27:20,138 --> 00:27:23,972
which makes me wonder,
if our suspect is fixated on boys,
450
00:27:24,175 --> 00:27:26,166
maybe he lied about his age, too.
451
00:27:27,512 --> 00:27:31,107
Rusty tried to make himself older but
our suspect would wanna be younger.
452
00:27:31,316 --> 00:27:33,580
- Right.
- Thank you, Chief. Thank you.
453
00:27:33,785 --> 00:27:35,446
Thank you for looking in on Rusty.
454
00:27:35,654 --> 00:27:37,679
- I do appreciate that.
- Glad to be here.
455
00:27:37,889 --> 00:27:40,619
- Stay focused, Captain. Later.
- Yes, sir.
456
00:27:40,825 --> 00:27:44,784
Captain, our guy is maybe pretending
to be younger. How much younger?
457
00:27:44,996 --> 00:27:49,490
Yeah, younger means our batch run
goes from hundreds to thousands!
458
00:27:49,701 --> 00:27:51,635
He's concerned
about extra printer ink!
459
00:27:51,836 --> 00:27:54,805
Julio, keep September 15th,
but add the next five years.
460
00:27:55,040 --> 00:27:57,201
And let's hurry up
because this dirtbag
461
00:27:57,375 --> 00:27:59,639
isn't just waiting for us
to find him.
462
00:27:59,811 --> 00:28:03,110
Captain, I've got a receipt for 40
sets of these plastic couch covers
463
00:28:03,348 --> 00:28:06,374
sent to a teenage homeless shelter
for teenagers called Angel City.
464
00:28:06,584 --> 00:28:08,142
There's a connection to Gary Barton,
465
00:28:08,353 --> 00:28:12,653
the boy on the list that was
arrested many times for soliciting.
466
00:28:12,857 --> 00:28:15,849
Each time it was within
a half-mile of Angel City Shelter.
467
00:28:16,061 --> 00:28:19,690
Charles Perry the first victim,
was a resident at Angel City
468
00:28:19,864 --> 00:28:20,853
when he went missing.
469
00:28:21,332 --> 00:28:22,560
Excellent, Amy.
Julio?
470
00:28:22,767 --> 00:28:25,964
Captain, there are thousands of guys
born on September 15th.
471
00:28:26,171 --> 00:28:29,470
It's gonna take hours to print up
all of their photos from the DMV.
472
00:28:30,241 --> 00:28:33,074
Lieutenant Provenza, grab Buzz
and some consent forms.
473
00:28:33,278 --> 00:28:35,371
We should look
over Angel City Shelter.
474
00:28:35,580 --> 00:28:37,673
They should look over these photos.
475
00:28:37,882 --> 00:28:41,374
ROTHMAN: Let's examine this 911 call
from a different perspective.
476
00:28:41,586 --> 00:28:43,144
How many times have you been
477
00:28:43,354 --> 00:28:46,687
to that section of Griffith Park
where the bodies were found?
478
00:28:46,891 --> 00:28:49,519
Five or six... about.
479
00:28:49,728 --> 00:28:50,922
And was it fun for you?
480
00:28:52,297 --> 00:28:54,390
No. It was... horrible.
481
00:28:54,599 --> 00:28:56,624
It was how I made money to eat.
482
00:28:56,835 --> 00:28:59,360
It'd be fair to characterize
your situation
483
00:28:59,571 --> 00:29:01,732
when you made
the 911 call as desperate?
484
00:29:01,940 --> 00:29:05,876
I was hungry, half-naked,
chased by a killer and shoved off a cliff.
485
00:29:06,077 --> 00:29:08,045
- I was desperate! Sure!
- Your Honor?
486
00:29:08,246 --> 00:29:10,714
You need to answer
Ms Rothman's questions
487
00:29:10,915 --> 00:29:13,577
without adding
a lot of extraneous detail.
488
00:29:13,785 --> 00:29:15,116
You understand, Rusty?
489
00:29:18,256 --> 00:29:21,054
I was desperate. Yes.
490
00:29:21,259 --> 00:29:23,124
Those are the kind
of boys we're here to help.
491
00:29:23,328 --> 00:29:25,728
People say they're runaways,
but they're not.
492
00:29:25,930 --> 00:29:29,229
They're more like thrown-aways.
We're fill a void in their lives.
493
00:29:29,434 --> 00:29:31,026
Yeah. Yeah, yeah. Excuse me.
494
00:29:31,870 --> 00:29:34,668
Who orders the plastic couch covers
for this place?
495
00:29:34,873 --> 00:29:36,101
That'd be Wade Weller.
496
00:29:36,307 --> 00:29:39,401
He's in charge of the safe spaces.
497
00:29:40,745 --> 00:29:43,646
Is this Wade Weller?
Do you recognize him?
498
00:29:43,848 --> 00:29:45,645
I don't know. Maybe.
The...
499
00:29:45,850 --> 00:29:48,944
This one's the wrong hair color.
I can't say for sure.
500
00:29:49,154 --> 00:29:51,281
Does Wade Weller
have his own office here?
501
00:29:51,489 --> 00:29:52,649
He has a desk right here.
502
00:30:05,804 --> 00:30:06,998
Where is Mr Weller now?
503
00:30:08,039 --> 00:30:11,805
He took a boy who's been out of the
shelter to DCFS for a health check.
504
00:30:13,378 --> 00:30:15,505
You don't mind if I have a beer?
505
00:30:15,713 --> 00:30:18,910
- I'm a long way from 21.
- You're an old soul. It's one beer.
506
00:30:20,752 --> 00:30:23,118
- Be back up in a minute.
- All right.
507
00:30:28,426 --> 00:30:30,690
His application and employee record.
508
00:30:32,463 --> 00:30:36,194
He lists his birthday

00:30:36,935 --> 00:30:38,630
This is our guy.
Oh, my God. This is him.

511
00:31:26,150 --> 00:31:28,175
I don't know
what you think Wade's done.
512
00:31:28,386 --> 00:31:30,479
But I promise you,
he's a terrific guy.
513
00:31:30,688 --> 00:31:33,885
- Let me call Wade and get this...
- I'll hold onto this for you.
514
00:31:34,092 --> 00:31:36,083

Thanks.

Dude, this game is sick.
I didn't know you play.
517
00:31:44,502 --> 00:31:46,936
Yeah, I'm a regular killing machine.
518
00:31:47,138 --> 00:31:50,574
I bet...
What's in the basement?
519
00:31:51,576 --> 00:31:53,840
Is that where you keep your victims?
520
00:31:59,250 --> 00:32:01,616
No. I wrap my victims up
in plastic couch covers.
521
00:32:01,819 --> 00:32:05,255
Like the one you're sitting on,
and then I bury them in the backyard.
522
00:32:05,456 --> 00:32:06,718
Or dump them somewhere.

We can tell where Weller is within three feet.

You can get a warrant faster.
527
00:32:21,105 --> 00:32:23,369
I need to know more
than where Mr Weller is.
528
00:32:23,541 --> 00:32:26,135
- I need to know where he's going.
- Detective.
529
00:32:26,344 --> 00:32:28,642
I'll let you know
when the warrant's in place.
530
00:32:29,847 --> 00:32:32,782
The boy that Wade Weller
took to DCFS.
531
00:32:32,984 --> 00:32:35,953
I need his name and a description.
532
00:32:36,154 --> 00:32:40,557
Tyler Lang. He's a brunette.
Slight build. Very sensitive.

struggling with life on the street,

you've still been
under a lot of stress.
539
00:33:02,213 --> 00:33:05,341
- How are you holding up?
- Fantastic. Thanks for asking.
540

Fantastic?
541
00:33:06,784 --> 00:33:10,276
Is that why your guardian asked
the psychologist Dr Joseph Bowman
542
00:33:10,488 --> 00:33:13,651
to perform an evaluation
of your mental status?
543
00:33:14,092 --> 00:33:15,582
No. That was...
544
00:33:20,565 --> 00:33:21,691
Um...
545
00:33:27,205 --> 00:33:29,173
That was for another reason.
546
00:33:30,708 --> 00:33:32,039
What reason?
547
00:33:34,178 --> 00:33:38,512
It was related to a lie
that I told Captain Raydor.
548
00:33:40,885 --> 00:33:44,548
So you're still lying to the police?
I'm surprised. About what this time?
549
00:33:47,592 --> 00:33:51,426
About what did you lie to the police?
550
00:33:51,629 --> 00:33:53,563
- I don't think I can say.
- Your Honor?
551
00:33:53,765 --> 00:33:56,928
- I can't... I can't answer that.
- Your Honor?
552

Rusty, you will answer truthfully,
as you have been sworn to do.

About what did you lie to the police?
554
00:34:08,346 --> 00:34:10,439
I lied about all of the threatening
letters I had received
555
00:34:10,481 --> 00:34:12,540
about my testimony
against Phillip Stroh.
556
00:34:12,784 --> 00:34:16,151
- Your Honor, I object!
- To your own question? Too late!
557
00:34:16,320 --> 00:34:18,914
You asked and demanded an answer.
558
00:34:19,123 --> 00:34:23,082

I'd like to read them, DDA Rios.

after we're done here today.
560

- Ms Rothman?
- No further questions, Your Honor.

you want to grab him

off the surface streets
before he hits Chinatown,
566
00:34:50,655 --> 00:34:52,486
this is the time to throw
up your road blocks.
567
00:34:52,690 --> 00:34:56,421
Shut it all down now,
and ride the side streets.

- We're almost there.

I want to locate Weller before
the public knows I'm looking for him.

why don't we pull the whack job over?

He's got a child with him.

it looks like

there may be a parking lot across
from where the suspect stopped.

00:43:21,865 --> 00:43:23,025
...is who I love.
680
00:43:25,269 --> 00:43:28,830
And all of you is coming home.
