1. No, no, no, no, no.
Yo.
Copy !req
2. Too damn sloppy
on the heel stand...
Copy !req
3. to hop shuffle-ball change.
Copy !req
4. Here we go. Two.
A-one, two, three, four.
Copy !req
5. What do you think?
Too much for my first day?
Copy !req
6. Not enough.
Copy !req
7. Huh?
Copy !req
8. Yep.
We're always on the same page.
Copy !req
9. I like that.
Copy !req
10. Okay.
What do you think?
Copy !req
11. Huh?
Copy !req
12. You're pleased?
Copy !req
13. Great.
As long as you are happy.
Copy !req
14. Let's do it!
Huh? Yeah.
Copy !req
15. You're my best—
Copy !req
16. Am I in a dream?
- Chocolate-chip pancakes.
Copy !req
17. Eggs a la Elliot.
Copy !req
18. Oh.
Which are what exactly?
Copy !req
19. - Scrambled eggs.
- Sausage pucks.
Copy !req
20. - Uh-huh?
- Freshly brewed cup of coffee.
Copy !req
21. And a squeezed-forever-ago OJ.
Copy !req
22. You guys.
I don't even know what to say.
Copy !req
23. You're the best.
- We wanted you to be ready
Copy !req
24. for your first official day
doing...
Copy !req
25. What exactly are you doing?
Copy !req
26. Helping the cops solve cases.
Copy !req
27. Ooh.
Do you get your own squad car?
Copy !req
28. No, but I will be making
enough money
Copy !req
29. that we can get
our actual car back.
Copy !req
30. You know,
speaking of more money,
Copy !req
31. we should talk IRAs
at some point soon—
Copy !req
32. simple, SEP, and Roth.
- Uh, yeah.
Copy !req
33. Let's not get ahead
of ourselves.
Copy !req
34. The point is, this job,
you guys,
Copy !req
35. if I don't quit or get fired,
Copy !req
36. is gonna help us out
in lots of ways.
Copy !req
37. Oh.
Copy !req
38. Okay. Got to run.
Copy !req
39. Thank you so much again.
Copy !req
40. Don't eat those.
Copy !req
41. - Wasn't planning on it.
- Good morning!
Copy !req
42. - Dad!
- You are just in time.
Copy !req
43. And good news.
She's a barfer today.
Copy !req
44. Oh! Barfy baby!
I got her.
Copy !req
45. - Thank you.
- You're welcome.
Copy !req
46. Now that the LAPD is paying me
to manny.
Copy !req
47. I love you!
Copy !req
48. - Bye, Mom.
- Love you.
Copy !req
49. Sampson, you busted out
the monk straps?
Copy !req
50. What the heck?
Copy !req
51. Who's the lucky lady?
- She's a florist.
Copy !req
52. Loves chess.
Lives close.
Copy !req
53. You dog.
Copy !req
54. Better be invited
to that wedding.
Copy !req
55. Let's hope.
Copy !req
56. Aren't you our cleaning lady?
Copy !req
57. Not today.
Copy !req
58. Check back in with me tomorrow
after we see how this goes.
Copy !req
59. We're really doing this, huh?
Copy !req
60. We're doing it.
Copy !req
61. Damian Ross.
Fell three stories onto his car.
Copy !req
62. 911 got an anonymous call from
someone who heard the impact.
Copy !req
63. EMTs rushed him
to County General.
Copy !req
64. He's in surgery now.
Not sure if he'll make it.
Copy !req
65. At first blush,
I'm thinking suicide attempt.
Copy !req
66. Strange as it may sound, Damian
was found wearing tap shoes,
Copy !req
67. so maybe he jumped
after one last dance.
Copy !req
68. - Mm.
- "Mm" what?
Copy !req
69. Oh.
Copy !req
70. N-Nothing.
Just, I mean, you know...
Copy !req
71. No, I don't know.
Copy !req
72. Morgan,
if this is gonna work—
Copy !req
73. and I can't believe
I'm actually saying this—
Copy !req
74. you have to say
what you're thinking.
Copy !req
75. Okay.
Copy !req
76. I think we need to get up
on that roof.
Copy !req
77. Okay.
See how easy that was?
Copy !req
78. Okay.
So let it rip.
Copy !req
79. - Let it rip?
- Yeah.
Copy !req
80. I thought you were gonna hit me
with a bunch of obscure
Copy !req
81. scientific or historical details
about rooftops or something.
Copy !req
82. Okay. Well, "Lay it on me"
would work there
Copy !req
83. Okay.
Copy !req
84. Was anything attached to this
when you guys first got here?
Copy !req
85. The techs haven't been up here
yet,
Copy !req
86. so we're first to the scene.
- Okay.
Copy !req
87. - Uh, M-Morgan.
- What?
Copy !req
88. Gloves, please.
Copy !req
89. Yes. Gloves.
How could I forget the gloves?
Copy !req
90. So if something were attached
to this tripod
Copy !req
91. and it got knocked over,
it would be...
Copy !req
92. Huh.
Copy !req
93. Looks like you found
Damian's phone.
Copy !req
94. - Hmm.
- "Hmm"?
Copy !req
95. I don't know
if this was Damian's phone.
Copy !req
96. So you think someone else
was up here with him?
Copy !req
97. I certainly don't think he was
up here dancing by himself.
Copy !req
98. Whoever's phone this is
was left-handed
Copy !req
99. based on the smudge patterns.
Copy !req
100. We'll dust for prints.
Copy !req
101. I don't know
who this little guy is.
Copy !req
102. Ah. The Perros de Tijuana.
Mexican baseball team.
Copy !req
103. They won the title
a few years back.
Copy !req
104. Okay. So you're good for
the obscure sports references.
Copy !req
105. Got it.
What are you doing?
Copy !req
106. - Turning on the phone, Morgan.
- I can turn a phone on.
Copy !req
107. I'm sure you can.
Copy !req
108. It is possible that Damian was
a left-handed baseball fan,
Copy !req
109. you know.
- Oh!
Copy !req
110. Michelangelo's 1487 painting
"The Torment of St. Anthony."
Copy !req
111. It's a glorious depiction
of the struggle
Copy !req
112. suffered by the patron saint
of lost things.
Copy !req
113. Well, maybe Damian was
a Catholic.
Copy !req
114. Until we know for certain—
- You know, Karadec,
Copy !req
115. normally I drive a 1970
Oldsmobile Vista Cruiser.
Copy !req
116. It's in the shop right now.
But I love that car.
Copy !req
117. I love it so much. It loves me.
We take good care of each other.
Copy !req
118. It's probably the healthiest
relationship I've ever had.
Copy !req
119. Here's my point.
Damian loved his car.
Copy !req
120. He was obsessed with it.
Copy !req
121. If he was trying to take
his own life,
Copy !req
122. I am not buying for a second
Copy !req
123. that he would take his
beloved '81 Cutlass with him.
Copy !req
124. And you may very well be right,
Morgan.
Copy !req
125. But that's still just a theory.
I need—
Copy !req
126. Evidence!
You need your evidence.
Copy !req
127. You love your evidence.
I'm learning that.
Copy !req
128. Have you ever seen
tap dancing live?
Copy !req
129. It's captivating.
Here's what I think.
Copy !req
130. Damian was up here,
dancing under the stars,
Copy !req
131. fully immersed
Copy !req
132. in the intoxicating art
of improvisation that is tap,
Copy !req
133. when someone pushed him
over the edge.
Copy !req
134. So I just checked in with CSI
to see if Damian
Copy !req
135. had his cellphone on him
when he arrived at the hospital.
Copy !req
136. - And?
- He did.
Copy !req
137. This phone belongs
to someone else.
Copy !req
138. So now we pray
to St. Anthony
Copy !req
139. that he helps us find whoever
pushed Damian off this roof.
Copy !req
140. Daphne,
I need an update on Damian.
Copy !req
141. I'm on hold
with County General.
Copy !req
142. Stand by.
- Oz, talk to me.
Copy !req
143. Fast-tracking CSI evidence
from Damian's car.
Copy !req
144. Good. Karadec and Morgan
are in transit
Copy !req
145. with the suspect's phone.
Copy !req
146. I want it processed
within the hour.
Copy !req
147. - Selena.
- Lieutenant Melon.
Copy !req
148. Do what do I owe the pleasure?
- You feeling generous today?
Copy !req
149. I need an extra pair of hands
in robbery/homicide.
Copy !req
150. Oh.
Well, it's your lucky day,
Copy !req
151. because we're just hanging
around here in major crimes
Copy !req
152. with a whole lot of nothing
to do.
Copy !req
153. This is serious.
Copy !req
154. Six jewelry stores hit
in the last two months.
Copy !req
155. I'm getting hammered
in the press.
Copy !req
156. Cap's all over me.
Copy !req
157. I'm even catching heat
from my girlfriend
Copy !req
158. 'cause she's too scared to go
shop for an engagement ring.
Copy !req
159. Aren't you supposed to shop
for the engagement ring?
Copy !req
160. I need to catch this guy before
someone gets hurt or killed.
Copy !req
161. You know I wouldn't ask if
I didn't really need the assist.
Copy !req
162. 'Cause if there was a scuffle
on the roof,
Copy !req
163. we can assume
our suspect's gonna—
Copy !req
164. - Have scratches. I get it.
- Well, not just scratches.
Copy !req
165. I mean, based on this photo.
Look.
Copy !req
166. That's an ass pattern.
Copy !req
167. An ass pattern.
Copy !req
168. Yeah.
Copy !req
169. Listen.
I've fallen a lot in my life.
Copy !req
170. And trust me,
whoever made those marks
Copy !req
171. has lacerations
all over the buns
Copy !req
172. and likely a bruised coccyx.
Copy !req
173. Tailbone.
- I know what a coccyx is.
Copy !req
174. Daphne, what's the latest
on Damian?
Copy !req
175. - Still on hold.
- Hey. Melon alert.
Copy !req
176. - Oh.
- Melon alert?
Copy !req
177. All right. Listen up.
Teamwork makes the dream work.
Copy !req
178. And right now our friends
in robbery need our help.
Copy !req
179. Beggars can't be choosers.
I'll take anyone.
Copy !req
180. Except the cleaning lady.
Copy !req
181. You owe me one.
Copy !req
182. I'll ride with Lieutenant Melon.
Copy !req
183. Damian's out of surgery
but on life support.
Copy !req
184. It could go either way.
- All right.
Copy !req
185. So starting right now,
we treat this as a murder case
Copy !req
186. because of this young man dies,
it will be.
Copy !req
187. Daphne,
pull all security footage
Copy !req
188. from surrounding buildings.
Copy !req
189. We need eyes on everyone
who was there that night.
Copy !req
190. You two go to the hospital.
Copy !req
191. See if this boy's family knows
anyone who might want him dead.
Copy !req
192. I'll be right there.
Copy !req
193. Hey.
Can I talk to you for a second?
Copy !req
194. Of course.
Copy !req
195. So, when I agreed
to take this job—
Copy !req
196. I promised to look into
your missing ex.
Copy !req
197. Um, S...
Copy !req
198. Roman Sinquerra.
Copy !req
199. Yeah. I'm assuming you might
need more than just his name.
Copy !req
200. You said he disappeared
15 years ago.
Copy !req
201. Can you tell me what happened?
Copy !req
202. Yes. He went out to buy
diapers for Ava, my oldest.
Copy !req
203. She was just a baby back then.
Copy !req
204. He was driving a 1995
Mazda RX-7,
Copy !req
205. California plates— AAHQ729.
Copy !req
206. It's the last time I saw him.
Copy !req
207. - Had you and Roman been—
- Fighting? No.
Copy !req
208. Listen.
I know what it sounds like.
Copy !req
209. Like he went out for milk
and never came back.
Copy !req
210. It's a cliché for a reason.
Copy !req
211. That wasn't Roman.
Copy !req
212. All right.
I'll see what I can find.
Copy !req
213. Thank you.
Copy !req
214. You know what the best part
of my day has been so far?
Copy !req
215. Am I gonna be flattered
or offended?
Copy !req
216. Hopefully neither.
Copy !req
217. The best part of my day was
showing up to that crime scene
Copy !req
218. and not seeing a body
on top of that car.
Copy !req
219. Pretty sure I don't have to
tell you why.
Copy !req
220. But now...
Copy !req
221. Now we don't know
what we're walking into.
Copy !req
222. You know, in this line of work,
Morgan,
Copy !req
223. you have to hope for the best
but be prepared for the worst.
Copy !req
224. It's your first day, so if you
want to wait in the waiting—
Copy !req
225. I'm good.
Copy !req
226. Okay.
Copy !req
227. Ms. Ross.
Copy !req
228. Please.
Call me Winnie.
Copy !req
229. Winnie, I'm Detective Karadec.
This is Morgan Gillory.
Copy !req
230. She's assisting me
on your son's case.
Copy !req
231. We are so sorry
about what happened.
Copy !req
232. How's he doing?
Copy !req
233. The doctors said they don't
know if he'll survive the night.
Copy !req
234. And if he does, they don't know
if he'll walk again.
Copy !req
235. But growing up where he did,
he's beat the odds before.
Copy !req
236. He'll do it again.
Copy !req
237. I know this is
a very difficult time, Winnie.
Copy !req
238. We believe somebody pushed
Damian off that roof, and...
Copy !req
239. Well, I have to ask.
Copy !req
240. I know what you're gonna ask,
Detective, and the answer is no.
Copy !req
241. There is nobody in this world
who would want to hurt my boy.
Copy !req
242. You know, on the way over here,
I had the opportunity
Copy !req
243. to watch your son tap,
and it took my breath away.
Copy !req
244. Your kid can really dance.
Copy !req
245. When Damian falls in love
with something, watch out.
Copy !req
246. Passionate and stubborn,
that one.
Copy !req
247. I wonder who he gets that from.
Copy !req
248. Damian has made his share
of mistakes
Copy !req
249. before he started working
at BSB.
Copy !req
250. But they've helped him
get his life together.
Copy !req
251. I'm sorry.
I'm not familiar with BSB.
Copy !req
252. Um, Body Shop Brothers.
It's a custom auto shop.
Copy !req
253. They hire at-risk youth
and ex-cons
Copy !req
254. to fix up cars and get
their lives back on track.
Copy !req
255. Damian is saving the money he's
making from working at the shop
Copy !req
256. for a plane ticket to New York.
Copy !req
257. He's Broadway-bound...
Copy !req
258. if he can... just pull—
pull through this time,
Copy !req
259. if he can just...
Copy !req
260. Beat the odds again.
Copy !req
261. Like you said.
Copy !req
262. Mama Ross?
Copy !req
263. Pardon me a moment.
Copy !req
264. I see two lefties.
Copy !req
265. And at least one Catholic.
Not exactly a smoking gun.
Copy !req
266. - The phone was his.
- Whose?
Copy !req
267. The one who's got his arm
around Ms. Ross.
Copy !req
268. You see that elbow scar
Copy !req
269. tattooed over
to look like baseball stitching?
Copy !req
270. That's from a Tommy John
injury,
Copy !req
271. from a torn ulnar ligament.
Copy !req
272. I think he was a pitcher.
Copy !req
273. For the Perros de Tijuana.
Copy !req
274. Sorry to interrupt.
Copy !req
275. I'm Detective Karadec.
Copy !req
276. Can we talk?
It'll just take a minute.
Copy !req
277. Mm.
Damian.
Copy !req
278. Quite the talent.
- He's next level, no question.
Copy !req
279. Good-looking too.
Copy !req
280. So, Roland, how jealous of him
were you?
Copy !req
281. Jealous enough
to push him off a roof?
Copy !req
282. I told you.
Copy !req
283. I didn't push him.
- But you fought with him.
Copy !req
284. That's when you dropped
your phone, right?
Copy !req
285. No!
Damian and I never fought.
Copy !req
286. Check his coccyx!
Copy !req
287. Sounds like you have
a suggestion.
Copy !req
288. - They got to check his coccyx.
- I know this looks really bad.
Copy !req
289. We have reason to believe
there's bruises and lacerations
Copy !req
290. on the suspect's... backside.
Copy !req
291. We could get a warrant
and make you show us.
Copy !req
292. Or you could just tell us.
Copy !req
293. Make the right choice
for us all. Please.
Copy !req
294. You're right.
Copy !req
295. We were up there last night.
Copy !req
296. But Damian,
he's like a brother to me.
Copy !req
297. We met at the shop.
Copy !req
298. When I told him I used to dance,
he offered to teach me.
Copy !req
299. He helped me get my life
back together.
Copy !req
300. Then what happened on the roof?
Copy !req
301. Someone else pushed him.
Copy !req
302. Roland, do you actually
expect us to believe that?
Copy !req
303. I don't know
where the guy came from, okay?
Copy !req
304. He must have been waiting there
or something,
Copy !req
305. because one minute
we were dancing, and then...
Copy !req
306. he knocked me on my ass.
Copy !req
307. By the time I got up,
Damian was gone, him too.
Copy !req
308. So I ran.
- And let me guess.
Copy !req
309. it was too dark
for you to see his face.
Copy !req
310. Without a witness who actually
saw Roland push Damian,
Copy !req
311. we barely have enough
to hold him.
Copy !req
312. Daphne, what about eyes
in the sky?
Copy !req
313. Well, security cameras
across the street
Copy !req
314. show Damian's car pull in
at 1:42 a.m.
Copy !req
315. - Any cameras in the alley?
- No.
Copy !req
316. Got them everywhere else, though.
Copy !req
317. It's an old office building.
No occupants since last year.
Copy !req
318. Maybe squatters took up
residence in the building
Copy !req
319. and didn't like the noise
coming from upstairs.
Copy !req
320. We checked. They got
the space locked down tight.
Copy !req
321. No one going in or out
in the last week.
Copy !req
322. So either our third guy
teleported in and out
Copy !req
323. or he doesn't exist.
Copy !req
324. He might.
Copy !req
325. What'd you guys do
with Damian's car?
Copy !req
326. I see I'm not the only one
Copy !req
327. who likes a little color
on the nails.
Copy !req
328. What have we got here?
Mushroom Mimosa?
Copy !req
329. - Biscotti Body, but close.
- Ooh!
Copy !req
330. - Oh, boy.
- Okay. I'm sorry.
Copy !req
331. I'm not the one who names
nail polishes.
Copy !req
332. Morgan, you've got three
very patient officers with you
Copy !req
333. here in the impound garage,
and I can tell you
Copy !req
334. that at least one of them would
like to know the reason why.
Copy !req
335. Well, the reason why is...
plasma chameleon paint.
Copy !req
336. See, plasma chameleon paint
is known
Copy !req
337. for its color-changing
properties
Copy !req
338. because the pigment makes
the color change
Copy !req
339. depending on the angle
and the lighting.
Copy !req
340. And that is why it is used
sometimes for nail polishes
Copy !req
341. and sometimes for custom
paint jobs for luxury cars.
Copy !req
342. Now, your lab f—
Well, our lab—
Copy !req
343. Our lab found traces of
paint in the trunk of the car,
Copy !req
344. which didn't surprise us,
given that he does work
Copy !req
345. in an auto-body shop
that paints cars.
Copy !req
346. But Damian loved this baby so
much, there's no way
Copy !req
347. he wasn't vacuuming every square
inch of it over the weekends.
Copy !req
348. That is correct.
Copy !req
349. And since there's not a trace
of that paint
Copy !req
350. on the outside of the car
Copy !req
351. and I highly doubt any of
those men hopped into the trunk
Copy !req
352. and painted his nails...
Anybody?
Copy !req
353. You think whoever
pushed Damian off the roof
Copy !req
354. worked at the body shop
and hid in the trunk of his car.
Copy !req
355. Yes, I do.
Copy !req
356. Roland was telling the truth.
Copy !req
357. There was a third man
on the roof,
Copy !req
358. and that man hitched a ride
to the scene of his own crime.
Copy !req
359. That would explain why we
didn't see anyone arriving.
Copy !req
360. The assailant got out
of the car in the alley
Copy !req
361. and then followed them up.
- It's a good theory, Morgan.
Copy !req
362. The only problem is
that this is an '81 Regal.
Copy !req
363. The trunk-release
safety feature wasn't introduced
Copy !req
364. until the mid-'80s, which means
Copy !req
365. if someone did sneak
in the trunk,
Copy !req
366. they wouldn't have been
able to get themselves out.
Copy !req
367. I thought about that too.
Copy !req
368. But what if one
of Damian's co-workers
Copy !req
369. decided to give him
a little unwanted trunk job?
Copy !req
370. That sounded grosser
than I wanted to.
Copy !req
371. - Morgan, you are not helping.
- Close me in.
Copy !req
372. I don't think
that's a good ide—
Copy !req
373. That was aggressive.
Copy !req
374. This is getting weird.
Copy !req
375. - Mm-hmm.
- Okay. Yeah. Give her a minute.
Copy !req
376. Yeah. There's no more
minutes for this.
Copy !req
377. Yeah.
Found it.
Copy !req
378. Little rigged
latch-release thingy.
Copy !req
379. Turns out... trunk job it is.
Copy !req
380. Looks like you and Morgan
Copy !req
381. have to go see
the Body Shop Brothers.
Copy !req
382. Am I helping now?
Copy !req
383. Detective Karadec.
Copy !req
384. Knox, right?
Copy !req
385. Chased you through Echo Park
a few years back.
Copy !req
386. What was it? Stolen property?
Identity theft?
Copy !req
387. Both.
Copy !req
388. What are you doing here,
Detective?
Copy !req
389. Just doing my job.
Copy !req
390. We have reason to believe
that the person
Copy !req
391. who tried to kill Damian
works here too.
Copy !req
392. Detective...
Copy !req
393. if you're insinuating
what I think you're insinuating,
Copy !req
394. we don't appreciate that.
- Yeah.
Copy !req
395. I'm not here to earn
your appreciation, Knox.
Copy !req
396. I'm here to find out
who tried to kill Damian.
Copy !req
397. - Then go find him already.
- I have an idea.
Copy !req
398. Uh, hear me out.
Copy !req
399. What if we did a trade?
Copy !req
400. Brought yourself a random
hot blonde, man?
Copy !req
401. I don't know about random.
Copy !req
402. She's a consultant.
Let me handle this, please.
Copy !req
403. What kind of trade?
Copy !req
404. You guys tell us
where you were last night
Copy !req
405. and we get Damian's car
back to the shop ASAP.
Copy !req
406. It's at impound.
That takes months.
Copy !req
407. What if it doesn't have to?
Copy !req
408. I'm listening.
Copy !req
409. I bet Detective Karadec here
could call in a favor
Copy !req
410. and get Damian's car back faster
than he ran you down, Knox.
Copy !req
411. Which isn't really saying much,
but...
Copy !req
412. Morgan, actually, I can't.
Copy !req
413. That way, you guys
will have time to fix up his car
Copy !req
414. and get it all ready for him
when he wakes up
Copy !req
415. and comes home
from the hospital.
Copy !req
416. I didn't know the guy,
but I'm getting the sense
Copy !req
417. he would do
the exact same thing for you.
Copy !req
418. Damn right he would.
Copy !req
419. Excuse me.
Copy !req
420. Give me two minutes
with these guys.
Copy !req
421. - For what?
- Two minutes,
Copy !req
422. and I will get their alibis or
I quit right here on the spot.
Copy !req
423. - You promise?
- Can you go?
Copy !req
424. Just make a phone call.
See if you can get the car.
Copy !req
425. Otherwise, we're not getting
anything out of them.
Copy !req
426. You know that.
Copy !req
427. Two minutes.
Copy !req
428. Okay.
Copy !req
429. Getting the sense that some
of you are very angry
Copy !req
430. about what happened
to your friend.
Copy !req
431. Or numb.
Copy !req
432. Heartbroken.
Copy !req
433. All very reasonable emotions
to have right now.
Copy !req
434. But wouldn't you guys feel
a little bit better
Copy !req
435. if you could help us find
the guy who hurt your friend?
Copy !req
436. You guys got to tell me
where you were last night.
Copy !req
437. 'Cause if you don't tell me
right now,
Copy !req
438. the cops are gonna waste time
talking to other people like you
Copy !req
439. who did absolutely nothing
wrong.
Copy !req
440. Go ahead, man.
Copy !req
441. Yeah.
Uh, I guess I'll go first.
Copy !req
442. Okay.
Copy !req
443. First up is Dane.
Copy !req
444. Dane was on his fifth
Copy !req
445. and hopefully final date
with, uh, Lola last night.
Copy !req
446. The woman sounds like
a nightmare.
Copy !req
447. I hope he makes a good choice,
but he's young and stupid.
Copy !req
448. Then we got "Big Bear" Knox.
Copy !req
449. Knox was in Big Bear
with his dad.
Copy !req
450. They have a family cabin.
Copy !req
451. They go there pretty much
weekly to vamp it up a bit.
Copy !req
452. Fun perk of the job— I did get
an open invite to visit.
Copy !req
453. Not a perk of the job.
Copy !req
454. Not for you.
Copy !req
455. Then we got Slappy.
Tall drink of water.
Copy !req
456. Handsome fella.
He's a tough nut to crack.
Copy !req
457. But I tell you what—
- Morgan.
Copy !req
458. Is it safe to assume
you have this kind of info
Copy !req
459. on all these guys?
Copy !req
460. Yeah.
That was the job.
Copy !req
461. Where were you?
Copy !req
462. - Um...
- So Slappy was on a date with—
Copy !req
463. Uh, Morgan, hold up.
Copy !req
464. I'm in the middle
of painting a picture.
Copy !req
465. You guys keep interrupting,
I have to say.
Copy !req
466. And I'm sure it's as stunning
as the Sistine Chapel,
Copy !req
467. but we really don't have time
for this.
Copy !req
468. Oh.
I'm sorry.
Copy !req
469. You don't have time
Copy !req
470. to give these gentlemen
the benefit of the doubt?
Copy !req
471. Did you all hear that?
Interesting.
Copy !req
472. Is that because they have
a hard time with authority?
Copy !req
473. Who doesn't?
- Lots of people.
Copy !req
474. Just download Daphne
with the details.
Copy !req
475. I'll make a case file
to share with a four-person team
Copy !req
476. that will track and trace
the movements of every suspect
Copy !req
477. as part of our ACP.
Copy !req
478. ACP.
Copy !req
479. Alibi confirmation protocol.
Come on.
Copy !req
480. Right.
She's a lot more fun than you.
Copy !req
481. All right.
We got our work cut out for us.
Copy !req
482. Mm.
Copy !req
483. I want to find out which one
of these body-shop bros
Copy !req
484. is our prime suspect by sunrise.
Copy !req
485. And since it turns out Roland
was telling the truth
Copy !req
486. about the third person...
- I'll process this release.
Copy !req
487. Did you know
that in 13th-century Sweden,
Copy !req
488. anyone could put a thief
to death?
Copy !req
489. Anyone!
Copy !req
490. Say I caught Ava swiping
my Rubik's Cube.
Copy !req
491. I could chop her head off,
and it would just be like,
Copy !req
492. "Ho-hum. Why is the head
rolling around the floor?"
Copy !req
493. "Don't know. I guess she
must have stolen something."
Copy !req
494. Ava, did you take
Elliott's Rubik's Cube?
Copy !req
495. Yeah, Mom.
I lust after that Rubik's Cube.
Copy !req
496. When are we getting
the car back?
Copy !req
497. I'm tired of leaving 45 minutes
early to take the bus.
Copy !req
498. As soon as I can afford
to get it out of the shop.
Copy !req
499. You've been saying that
forever.
Copy !req
500. I know I have, Ava.
Copy !req
501. And every single time
I have to say it again,
Copy !req
502. it kills me a little more.
Copy !req
503. Ava got an A
on her art project,
Copy !req
504. You did?
That's great.
Copy !req
505. Why didn't you tell me?
Let me see it.
Copy !req
506. I think it shows
some real Cubist influence.
Copy !req
507. Look!
It's Whiskers!
Copy !req
508. Buddy, that is really good.
Copy !req
509. It's okay.
Copy !req
510. Follow me.
Copy !req
511. What are you showing me?
Copy !req
512. This.
Copy !req
513. What are they?
Copy !req
514. They're murals painted
all over Los Angeles.
Copy !req
515. Aren't they great?
Copy !req
516. Yeah.
They're pretty cool.
Copy !req
517. Your father painted those.
Copy !req
518. Awesome.
Thanks for showing me these.
Copy !req
519. Hey. You've been upset that
you didn't inherit my talents.
Copy !req
520. But look.
You got your dad's.
Copy !req
521. I got the talent of the guy
who walked out on us. Cool.
Copy !req
522. He did not walk out on us, Ava, okay?
Copy !req
523. I know it in my bones.
He just didn't do it.
Copy !req
524. He loved us.
Copy !req
525. And now I've got the full weight
of the LAPD looking into it.
Copy !req
526. We're gonna get to the truth.
Copy !req
527. How about they work on getting
our car back instead?
Copy !req
528. So, what?
Copy !req
529. Just because you can't sleep,
I don't get to either?
Copy !req
530. Do you remember how Damian's
mom said no one in the world
Copy !req
531. would want to hurt her son?
Copy !req
532. Mm-hmm. Sometimes
even moms get it wrong, Morgan.
Copy !req
533. Maybe this time we did.
Copy !req
534. Let's dance.
- What are we doing?
Copy !req
535. Come on.
Copy !req
536. Okay.
Copy !req
537. We thought the third man came up
onto the roof to kill Damian.
Copy !req
538. - And now you don't?
- Well, maybe.
Copy !req
539. But the best place
for the killer to hide
Copy !req
540. where he wouldn't be seen
by the dancers is over here,
Copy !req
541. behind this structure.
Copy !req
542. So when Damian is close
to the edge,
Copy !req
543. that is the killer's moment.
Copy !req
544. He's got to move
without hesitation.
Copy !req
545. He bolts forward.
He knocks over the tripod.
Copy !req
546. The cellphone goes flying.
- All of which we already know.
Copy !req
547. So what are we missing?
- We forgot to look up.
Copy !req
548. Are you familiar
with the opposition effect?
Copy !req
549. Remind me
Copy !req
550. The opposition effect
is an astronomical phenomenon
Copy !req
551. during the first-
and last-quarter phases
Copy !req
552. of the moon cycle.
Copy !req
553. That is when the moon is at
a 90-degree angle to the sun,
Copy !req
554. and that's when it's at
its brightest.
Copy !req
555. - And that happened last night.
- Not only that.
Copy !req
556. Roland called 911 at 2:14 a.m., right?
Copy !req
557. So let's say he needed 10,
15 minutes
Copy !req
558. to get down off the roof,
get himself safe,
Copy !req
559. pull himself together,
and make a phone call
Copy !req
560. Which would have placed the
time of impact shortly after 2.
Copy !req
561. Which places the moon...
right there.
Copy !req
562. So what do you think
the killer saw?
Copy !req
563. Roland and Damian were in
full shadow.
Copy !req
564. The moon was shining
right into the killer's eyes.
Copy !req
565. Moving fast
under these conditions,
Copy !req
566. he couldn't see
who it was he was pushing.
Copy !req
567. Damian's mom was right.
No one wanted to kill her boy.
Copy !req
568. Our assailant pushed
the wrong guy.
Copy !req
569. He meant to kill Roland.
Copy !req
570. We released him from custody
a few hours ago.
Copy !req
571. If someone still wants him dead,
they could try again.
Copy !req
572. We got to find Roland
before the killer does.
Copy !req
573. Yeah.
Copy !req
574. Hey, mama.
Copy !req
575. Hey.
Everybody's okay back there?
Copy !req
576. We're good.
I already put Chloe to bed.
Copy !req
577. And our son's Mandarin's
really coming along.
Copy !req
578. Though I guess I wouldn't know.
- Yeah. Ava's okay?
Copy !req
579. She is still in her room.
Copy !req
580. She came out for some ice cream
Copy !req
581. and acknowledged me with
a grunt, which is reassuring.
Copy !req
582. Daphne just texted me Roland's
number and home address.
Copy !req
583. Ludo, I got to go.
Copy !req
584. I'm gonna be later than
I thought.
Copy !req
585. I'm so sorry.
- Yeah. Is everything okay?
Copy !req
586. Yeah. No. I'm fine.
Don't worry about me, okay?
Copy !req
587. Thank you so much.
- Mor—
Copy !req
588. Yeah. She's gone.
Copy !req
589. - Yeah?
- Roland, it's Detective Karadec.
Copy !req
590. Who?
Copy !req
591. Can you turn the music down, please?
Copy !req
592. - Not in my car, bro.
- He's not at home.
Copy !req
593. It's Detective Karadec
with the LAPD, Roland.
Copy !req
594. Where are you, buddy?
Copy !req
595. We need you to get
someplace safe.
Copy !req
596. - What?
- We believe you are in danger.
Copy !req
597. Sorry, man.
Can't hear you.
Copy !req
598. This is Roland.
Leave a message.
Copy !req
599. I'll have Daphne see if
she can locate him with a trace.
Copy !req
600. - I think he's at Gateway Towers.
- What?
Copy !req
601. It's a warehouse
that hosts parties.
Copy !req
602. - And you think he's there?
- Yeah.
Copy !req
603. I heard the song change
from "Flip Fantasia"
Copy !req
604. to Culture Beat,
so I googled "'90s remix party,"
Copy !req
605. and the only one that came up
for tonight
Copy !req
606. was at Gateway Towers.
- Gateway Towers.
Copy !req
607. It's a little crime-fighting
tool called Google.
Copy !req
608. This might be a good time
to call for backup.
Copy !req
609. They're on the way,
but we don't have time to wait.
Copy !req
610. Okay.
When Roland left the precinct,
Copy !req
611. he was wearing a green hoodie,
Copy !req
612. black-and-white
Adidas Superstars,
Copy !req
613. and a red Casio watch.
Copy !req
614. Let's hope he didn't change.
Copy !req
615. Hey!
Copy !req
616. Hey!
Where's Roland?
Copy !req
617. - I don't know.
- Is he here?
Copy !req
618. - What's going on?
- They're looking for Roland.
Copy !req
619. How many times can you arrest
a guy in one day?
Copy !req
620. We're trying to help
the young man.
Copy !req
621. Where is he?
- I don't know, man.
Copy !req
622. He was here.
I ain't seen him in a minute.
Copy !req
623. Please help us find him.
Copy !req
624. Okay.
Copy !req
625. We're going this way.
Copy !req
626. Excuse me.
Copy !req
627. Aah.
I feel like I'm on the bus.
Copy !req
628. Roland!
Copy !req
629. Hey!
Roland!
Copy !req
630. No, I'm John.
Copy !req
631. Nice to meet you, John.
Excuse me.
Copy !req
632. Yo, yo!
He's over here!
Copy !req
633. Roland. Roland, come on, man.
We got to get you out of here.
Copy !req
634. You—
Copy !req
635. You know, Morgan,
what happened tonight
Copy !req
636. is just part of the job.
Copy !req
637. It's the worst part of the job.
Copy !req
638. I wish I could tell you
it gets easier, but it does not.
Copy !req
639. We didn't get here fast enough.
Not tonight.
Copy !req
640. But next time we will.
Copy !req
641. And when we do, I know we're
gonna have you to thank for it.
Copy !req
642. 'Cause what you did on that roof
tonight, that was...
Copy !req
643. that was something.
Copy !req
644. Can't really take
all the credit for it.
Copy !req
645. I had an assist.
- Oh, yeah?
Copy !req
646. Yeah. My daughter Ava.
Her dad's a painter.
Copy !req
647. He was a painter.
I don't know if he still paints.
Copy !req
648. I haven't seen him
in a long time, but, um,
Copy !req
649. he used to tell me light was the
most important part of the job.
Copy !req
650. Hey, guys.
Copy !req
651. Found something
you're gonna want to see.
Copy !req
652. - If this is too much for you—
- No. I'm good.
Copy !req
653. Let's find this guy.
Copy !req
654. All those people and nobody
noticed a man being shot?
Copy !req
655. Too loud.
Plus all the lights.
Copy !req
656. The gunshot was just
one more flash in the dark.
Copy !req
657. But if we look closer...
Copy !req
658. Looks like Roland knew
his killer.
Copy !req
659. And the killer knew everyone
there would have a phone on,
Copy !req
660. so he hid his face.
Copy !req
661. And this is all we got?
Copy !req
662. Yeah, for now.
Copy !req
663. Any update on Damian?
Copy !req
664. Last we called the hospital,
it was still touch and go.
Copy !req
665. You okay?
Copy !req
666. Yeah.
Copy !req
667. I'm just gonna take
a little walk.
Copy !req
668. There's nobody in this world
who would want to hurt my boy.
Copy !req
669. In this line of work, Morgan,
you have to hope for the best
Copy !req
670. but be prepared for the worst.
Copy !req
671. Yes?
Copy !req
672. Do you have this
on surveillance?
Copy !req
673. - Uh, yeah.
- Play it.
Copy !req
674. Uh, excuse me.
What are you doing?
Copy !req
675. Play the robbery.
Copy !req
676. Okay.
Copy !req
677. Oh.
You take orders from her now.
Copy !req
678. This is highly inappropriate.
Copy !req
679. Uh...
Copy !req
680. Hang on.
Hang on.
Copy !req
681. Stop.
Right there.
Copy !req
682. You see those sparks
after the muzzle flash?
Copy !req
683. The color and the trajectory.
That is a very old gun.
Copy !req
684. Oh, now you're
a munitions expert.
Copy !req
685. I'm not, but I took my kids
to Pioneer Town once,
Copy !req
686. and the gunsmith went on and on
about guns in the Wild West.
Copy !req
687. What's going on?
Copy !req
688. Come here.
Look at these sparks.
Copy !req
689. These sparks occur
when there is copper
Copy !req
690. or lead left in the barrel—
Copy !req
691. usually a very old
or poorly maintained gun.
Copy !req
692. And they cause a flash,
like the one in this robbery
Copy !req
693. and in the one
that killed Roland.
Copy !req
694. So great.
Our robber is at the OK Corral.
Copy !req
695. You're saying you think
his robber and our killer
Copy !req
696. are the same guy?
- I'm saying same gun.
Copy !req
697. What do you think?
Copy !req
698. I think you should give
her some time with your board.
Copy !req
699. You serious?
My
board?
Copy !req
700. - Coming through. Thanks.
- Excuse us.
Copy !req
701. Eyes up.
Copy !req
702. Lieutenant Melon
has terrible handwriting.
Copy !req
703. Oh, the worst.
Copy !req
704. You really think his robber
is our killer?
Copy !req
705. I don't know, but I know
we got to figure it out.
Copy !req
706. Okay.
So where do we start?
Copy !req
707. We start with why.
Copy !req
708. Why would this guy
want to murder Roland?
Copy !req
709. You believe this?
Copy !req
710. The cleaning lady
is rearranging my boards.
Copy !req
711. You see a cleaning lady.
I see more.
Copy !req
712. Okay, Sparkles.
That's enough.
Copy !req
713. Morgan, what do you got?
Copy !req
714. I noticed something.
Copy !req
715. We've got five robberies, right?
Copy !req
716. The first three are here,
here, and here.
Copy !req
717. And at each site,
Copy !req
718. an eyewitness saw the robber get
into a different getaway car—
Copy !req
719. a red Camaro, a blue Mini...
Copy !req
720. And an orange Corvette.
Copy !req
721. She gonna read my entire
case board back to me?
Copy !req
722. Now, at the fourth
and fifth site,
Copy !req
723. there was no report
of a getaway car at all.
Copy !req
724. So it's possible the driver
could have parked farther away.
Copy !req
725. Or something happened
to the car.
Copy !req
726. Or practice makes perfect.
Copy !req
727. They got faster
and no one saw him go.
Copy !req
728. What do you think?
Copy !req
729. I think the robber lost
his getaway car.
Copy !req
730. More importantly,
I think he lost his driver.
Copy !req
731. Now, see what these last two
jewelry stores have in common?
Copy !req
732. Okay.
I'll give you a clue.
Copy !req
733. Oh, now she's drawing
on my map.
Copy !req
734. Uh...
Copy !req
735. Really?
Does no one take public transit?
Copy !req
736. Okay. Well, guess who does.
This guy.
Copy !req
737. So let me walk you through this.
This is the red line.
Copy !req
738. Right here are two stops
along the red line.
Copy !req
739. These are two jewelry stores
Copy !req
740. that are within one block
of those two stops.
Copy !req
741. You think the robber
was on foot?
Copy !req
742. Yes, I do.
Copy !req
743. And I think the missing
getaway driver,
Copy !req
744. someone who had access
to multiple cars...
Copy !req
745. was Roland.
Copy !req
746. Think about it.
He worked at the shop.
Copy !req
747. Any of the cars
that stayed there overnight,
Copy !req
748. he would have had access to.
Copy !req
749. And the robber started hitting
stores on foot a month ago.
Copy !req
750. That's right, and that
was around the same time
Copy !req
751. that Damian helped Roland
escape a life of crime
Copy !req
752. and they started posting
their dancing videos together.
Copy !req
753. That's right.
Copy !req
754. So Roland tells the robber,
"I'm out."
Copy !req
755. But the robber can't trust
that Roland won't out him.
Copy !req
756. He knows that Damian and Roland
Copy !req
757. are dancing on rooftops
all over L.A.
Copy !req
758. He decides to rig Damian's trunk
to push Roland off the roof.
Copy !req
759. But he pushes the wrong guy.
Copy !req
760. Now he's got to find Roland
at the club.
Copy !req
761. And to make sure
he does it right this time...
Copy !req
762. he brings his gun.
Copy !req
763. This is great police work,
Morgan,
Copy !req
764. but do you know who this guy is?
Copy !req
765. No.
I don't.
Copy !req
766. But I do have an idea
about how we can find him.
Copy !req
767. All units and 6A37.
We have a 187.
Copy !req
768. Respond Code 3.
Copy !req
769. Repeat— All units and 6A37.
We have a 187.
Copy !req
770. Respond Code 3.
Copy !req
771. Hands in the air!
Nobody move!
Copy !req
772. - LAPD! Put your hands up!
- Drop your weapon!
Copy !req
773. - Freeze! LAPD!
- Put the gun on the ground.
Copy !req
774. Slowly.
Lay down on the floor.
Copy !req
775. Belly on the floor.
Now. Down.
Copy !req
776. Hands behind your back!
Copy !req
777. Let's go.
Copy !req
778. He looks confused.
Are you confused, Griff?
Copy !req
779. - Lawyer.
- You don't want to talk.
Copy !req
780. I get it.
You don't have to.
Copy !req
781. But I bet you're wondering
how we knew you'd be here.
Copy !req
782. Can I tell him?
- Tell him.
Copy !req
783. See, I think
you really were upset
Copy !req
784. about what happened to Damian.
Copy !req
785. The red eyes, the tears—
Those were real.
Copy !req
786. 'Cause you didn't mean
to hurt him.
Copy !req
787. But, you see,
mixed in with that sadness,
Copy !req
788. I saw something else— guilt.
Copy !req
789. Oh, side note.
Copy !req
790. Contrition—
gonna be helpful for you
Copy !req
791. when you're talking to
the parole board
Copy !req
792. after you're convicted
of murdering Roland.
Copy !req
793. So how did we manage to show up
and spoil your party?
Copy !req
794. Well, joke's on you.
It's
our
party, bud.
Copy !req
795. And we invited you
because we noticed
Copy !req
796. that every time you would rob
a jewelry store,
Copy !req
797. it would happen
right after a Code 3 went out
Copy !req
798. on the police scanner.
Copy !req
799. You figured
the fewer units available,
Copy !req
800. the likelier chance you'd have
to be able to get away.
Copy !req
801. But luckily for the residents
of Los Angeles,
Copy !req
802. there's no actual Code 3
happening tonight.
Copy !req
803. Just a 211— yours.
Copy !req
804. Let's go.
Copy !req
805. Heard a little rumor.
Copy !req
806. Somebody just closed their first
official case with the LAPD.
Copy !req
807. So I did help.
Copy !req
808. You had your moments.
Copy !req
809. Which is why Soto asked me
to give you this—
Copy !req
810. first official paycheck.
Copy !req
811. Lands early.
Copy !req
812. No way.
Copy !req
813. Oh.
Copy !req
814. Wow.
Copy !req
815. Karadec.
Copy !req
816. Yeah.
Got it.
Copy !req
817. That was the hospital.
Copy !req
818. Damian's awake.
Copy !req
819. Please come on in.
Copy !req
820. Hi.
Copy !req
821. There's somebody
I want you to meet.
Copy !req
822. These are the people I told you
Copy !req
823. were trying to figure out
what happened.
Copy !req
824. Thank you.
Copy !req
825. Damian moved his toes today.
Copy !req
826. Oh.
No way.
Copy !req
827. The doctors believe
with some work,
Copy !req
828. he'll be dancing in no time.
Copy !req
829. - That's right.
- You know, because of you,
Copy !req
830. I was able to find out this guy
has never seen a tap show.
Copy !req
831. What, you got something
against a good time?
Copy !req
832. - No. No. I-I love a good time.
- Mm.
Copy !req
833. One day I'll get you
some tickets.
Copy !req
834. Both of you.
Copy !req
835. Least I could do.
Copy !req
836. I heard about Roland and Griff.
Copy !req
837. It's over now, though.
Don't worry.
Copy !req
838. Nah.
I'm just getting started.
Copy !req
839. Now, what the hell are y'all
still doing here?
Copy !req
840. Get your ass back to the shop
and fix my car— now!
Copy !req
841. Oh, gosh.
Copy !req
842. That's what I said,
for the record.
Copy !req
843. - Uh-huh. Yeah.
- Take care.
Copy !req
844. I need some wheels.
Copy !req
845. For real, though.
Copy !req
846. That was not too bad
for your first case, Gillory.
Copy !req
847. I'm just glad
I was able to help.
Copy !req
848. Mm-hmm. Have you thought about
quitting while you're ahead?
Copy !req
849. You know, go out on top?
- You do not want me to quit.
Copy !req
850. You're having way too much fun.
- Oh, I am, huh?
Copy !req
851. - Yeah.
- Like driving you all over town?
Copy !req
852. No. No.
That does have to stop.
Copy !req
853. No way!
Copy !req
854. I'm so sorry to just pop by,
Morgan.
Copy !req
855. You're firing me
in the comfort of my own home.
Copy !req
856. That's a classy move.
I respect that.
Copy !req
857. You want to come in?
- No. No. That's okay.
Copy !req
858. I have some news.
Copy !req
859. You're on my way home.
I thought you'd want to hear it.
Copy !req
860. What is it?
Copy !req
861. I followed up on Roman's car.
Copy !req
862. Turns out it ended up
in police impound
Copy !req
863. three days after he disappeared.
Copy !req
864. It was abandoned
in a Costco parking lot
Copy !req
865. a couple of miles
from where you both lived.
Copy !req
866. In the short inventory of items
discovered in the car
Copy !req
867. was a box of diapers.
Copy !req
868. Which, of course,
begs the question—
Copy !req
869. If Roman really wanted to
abandon your family,
Copy !req
870. why would he stop
and buy diapers first?
Copy !req
871. We're gonna find out
what happened to Roman.
Copy !req
872. I promise.
Copy !req
873. Thank you.
Copy !req
874. Freeze.
Copy !req
875. Morgan Gillory, major crimes.
Copy !req
876. Oh, it worked.
Copy !req
877. You're frozen.
Copy !req
878. There she is, Janitor Genius.
Copy !req
879. That brain of hers is going
to help us close a lot of cases.
Copy !req
880. Looks like a wild
night that went south.
Copy !req
881. But was it murder?
Copy !req
882. 100%.
Copy !req
883. I have no idea who
kidnapped my daughters.
Copy !req
884. Do you see this?
Copy !req
885. Her girls were holding this
in one of the pictures I saw.
Copy !req
886. I know who took the girls.
Copy !req
887. All right, the trick is
to see if we can notice
Copy !req
888. things other people can't.
Copy !req
889. Ta da.
Copy !req
890. I'm sorry, who is she?
Copy !req
891. Morgan.
Morgan.
Copy !req
892. Morgan.
Copy !req
893. You never take
evidence home, ever.
Copy !req
894. You have got to be kidding me.
Copy !req
895. What?
Copy !req
896. He's wearing gloves.
Copy !req
897. New "High Potential," October
8 on ABC, and stream on Hulu.
