Previously on "Major Crimes"...

REPORTER: Yesterday, three teenagers went missing

during a Catholic school field trip.

MASON: The boy on the far right, his name's Lucas Garza,

and he's been a Type-A diabetic since he was 7.

Where are the other two boys?

Middle boy, Ryan Rojas,

two months ago, his stepfather died,

putting him and his mother in financial trouble.

Your husband fell off your balcony after beating your son.

Miguel Diaz is a Dreamer.

He would never bring unwanted attention on to his family,

who are undocumented.

BUZZ: ‭Why don't you want us to look under the floor of your closet?

It's exactly a million dollars,

and every penny of it is legally ours.

The Diazes were obviously putting together a ransom.

You've actually made me suspect Ryan's biological father.

I said ‭you don't have to do this!

Oh, what the hell?

Oh, I forgot, there's the Diaz's neighbor

and his daughter, who has a driver's license.

We found Lucas Garza's body at a Catholic church.

You know who hangs out at Catholic churches?

Priests.

Father Jonas tried to stop me

from looking into the locker of Ryan Rojas.

Look, all I'm saying

is Father Jonas is a lot more involved

in that kid's life ‭than the average teacher.

He's been transferred to six different dioceses

over the past five years.

That's why I'm thankful we have someone here who is capable

of dealing with the priests of St. Joseph's

in an extremely personal way.

Where'd he go?

Father Jonas has left the country.

Synced & corrected by -robtor- www.addic7ed.com

This search is unnecessary.

It would have been, had the church cooperated. Instead...

‭We cooperated when you demanded to search a house of God.

Because there was a dead 15-year-old boy

found in your flower beds.

Father Jonas is gone.

And I have to say, Sharon,

this is not the way I expected to be treated.

Obstruction of justice is a very serious charge.

Attempting to break the sacred bond

between a penitent and a priest is not merely sacrilegious,

but grounds for excommunication.

No one was asking him to reveal what he'd heard in confession.

And consider how excommunicating the investigator

responsible for finding the boys would sound to the media.

Excuse me, Commander. I'll be right back.

All right, everybody, listen up.

This is what I need you to find...

Condoms. Needles. Insulin.

We're looking for anything scandalous

or even somewhat incriminating.

How about dust?

That's all that Jonas seems to have left behind.

BUZZ: And DNA. Maybe the techs can find something.

I'll take a run at that laptop in the common area.

See if Father Jonas left us any crumbs.

Well, the bathroom's scrubbed clean.

Not even a pubic hair.

TMI. TMI.

Yes. Thanks for the finer details, Wes.

Where, oh, where did our little priest go?

- SHARON: He's in Mexico? - Since late this afternoon.

And are you sure he didn't take the other two boys with him?

That's your theory?

He dumped Lucas

and fled south of the border with Ryan and Miguel?

Why not take all the boys?

Couldn't fit all three bodies in the trunk.

That is morbid, Sharon.

Yes, it is. ‭Where in Mexico is Father Jonas?

I can't say.

Who can?

Any further questions should be directed to me.

No more interviews with our orders, regulars,

or interns without my consent.

Your primary focus should be on finding these boys,

not hounding a respected and much-loved priest.

How much loved?

I won't tolerate remarks implying misbehavior

on the part of Father Jonas.

These boys have most likely run away from home.

And if you would look for them more aggressively...

I can assure you, Bishop Calhoun,

the search for Ryan and Miguel is being conducted on an epic scale.

Which is why it's important that we interview every suspect.

Suspects, yes. Priests? No.

Well, on the Venn diagram,

suspects and priests sometimes overlap.

Your bias against the Church

is leading you in the wrong direction.

Your Excellency, I'm a lifelong Catholic.

I hold no bias against the Church.

And I am in charge of this investigation.

Then stop these baseless accusations

and the reckless media coverage they've created.

If there's no reason to suspect Father Jonas,

why send him away?

Was the trip planned,

or did you find a great airfare for murder suspects online?

The Church was worried about Father Jonas's welfare.

Obviously, for cause.

- We can extradite him. - Can you?

Did you know Father Jonas holds dual citizenship?

Mexico might not feel obligated to hand over one of their own,

relations between our two countries being what they are.

These boys went missing

during a Catholic ‭school-sponsored field trip.

One of them was found dead on Church property.

That's not just a crime.

That's a civil lawsuit.

Every second ‭that you refuse to cooperate,

the damages in this lawsuit become more expensive.

The Archdiocese of Los Angeles

has paid out over $700 million in abuse scandals.

Closed churches. Shut down monasteries.

How much more can you afford to lose?

It's kind of you to care.

Perhaps that's a reaction to the great favor I'm doing you.

And that would be...?

Removing a line of inquiry that leads nowhere.

I'm sorry for these boys, one here illegally,

the other suffering from a troubled family life.

We will pray for their recovery

and the quick end to your investigation.

[DOOR OPENS]

Bastard.

There is precedent for hiding problem priests in Mexico.

You know, this could be a great opportunity

for our friends at the FBI

if they will tell us where in Mexico Father Jonas is from.

I'll discuss it with Special Agent Fey.

Meanwhile, I have avenues of my own I need to pursue.

Excuse me.

[DOOR CLOSES]

I've been standing here for almost an hour.

Nancy, so sorry.

But I'm about to make it worth your while.

There's a new person of interest in the St. Joseph's Three,

but this is not for attribution, understood?

If you're not gonna go on the record,

don't give me ‭the person-of-interest crap.

It looks like the missing boys killed their friend and ran off.

If that's not really the answer,

I want some good background on which I can follow up.

How about a young priest

who had a special fascination with these boys?

And who was repeatedly transferred

across the American southwest?

And whom the Church sent out of town yesterday afternoon...

to Mexico?

And the evidence ‭against this priest is...?

BUZZ: Hold on. I think this is the one.

They can't cross the border if it's a wall.

And if the "Mexi-cants"

try to launch themselves over the wall...

Sorry, sorry. ...we'll build a moat!

Sorry. There's so many of these videos

of Marvin just talking and shooting guns.

Talking where, though? That's not his backyard.

This is what I was looking for.

[LOUD, RAPID GUNFIRE]

- Ah, Buzz! The volume! - Sorry. Sorry. Sorry.

Hey, so, while your tech tries to find the right video,

you should know we have every station south of the border

eyes-open for Jonas.

If he's even there.

We have no way of knowing who exits into Mexico.

All our cameras are looking to see who comes in.

- This is war. We have to fight. - ‭No, no.

The Government failed us, but...

And this Marvin guy... he's an extremist.

He doesn't stand for

what the Department of Justice is trying to accomplish.

Whatever you need to tell yourself.

I tell myself that, regardless of my personal feelings,

I have an obligation to uphold the law.

- What do you tell yourself? - ‭Hey.

Oh, I'm... I'm sorry I'm late.

- [GASPS] - Oh!

- Man! - Ah.

- Buzz, Tao. - Oh.

- Sykes. - Julio!

- Julio. - Captain.

Oh, my goodness.

You still have five more days of bereavement leave left.

SANCHEZ: It really bothered me, sitting home,

watching all of this on the news

and having Mark ask me

if any more boys were getting kidnapped from St. Joseph's.

He's, uh... He's afraid to go back to school.

- Hey. FBI, right? - Mm-hmm.

Detective Sanchez, meet Special Agents Vega and Fey.

TAO: They are part of an ad hoc task force

assembled by Chief Mason to locate our missing boys.

So, who did it?

A handsy priest, the guy next door,

the kid's best friends... Who?

PAIGE: We're not there yet.

Detective Camila Paige, Missing Persons.

So sorry for your loss.

Julio, Detective Paige was gifted to us by Chief Mason.

Mason. You a spy?

No, she's not a spy.

She's a damn good detective is what she is,

and she also raised five younger siblings all on her own.

Now, you could get some hints from Cami

on single parenting if you treat her properly.

Yes, sir.

You okay?

Here it is. This. See?

Those "Mexi-cants" aren't coming here for jobs.

They're coming to take over

a civilization they couldn't build themselves.

Wow. ‭Welcome back to you, too.

- [CHUCKLES] - Sorry, Julio. I'll mute it.

- Watch... here. - [ELECTRONIC BEEPING]

You see? Marvin has ‭a Federal Firearms License,

just like Special Agent Vega said,

but that is a flash suppressor,

and he doesn't have any of those registered to his name.

That's enough for the feds to book him, isn't it?

And get us some alone time with his daughter, Kelly.

Is there something we can do to hurry this up?

Mm-hmm. Marvin Garret has an FFL to sell weapons.

Would the FBI care to join us to do a compliance check?

[POUNDING ON DOOR]

LAPD! Open up!

[SPECTATORS MURMURING]

Hey, keep your distance, please!

Now, stand back. Stand back!

[POUNDING]

You better have a damn good explanation for this.

Federal Firearms License Compliance Check!

Sir, if you could please step out onto your por...

Fascist pigs!

LAPD doesn't do ‭federal compliance checks.

But we do. FBI, sir.

I need you to step outside right now.

Or I could cuff you ‭and put you in a patrol car.

Test me. Please.

[DOOR CREAKS, CLOSES]

[KEYPAD BEEPS]

Detective Sanchez, Major Crimes.

I'd like to speak to someone with a cadaver dog, please.

No more word on the death of Lucas Garza,

but police arrested Marvin Garret.

REPORTER: ...understandably distraught

that their neighbor may have harmed their son.

As the St. Joseph's Three morphs into a story

including the possible murder of a diabetic 15-year-old...

...right next door to Marvin Garret,

who has no visible means of employment.

And police refuse to rule out

potential connections to drug cartels...

More like the connections to the Mexican cartels

can't be found.

Well, they're speculating.

You remember how ‭journalists are, don't you?

[CHUCKLES]

Look, um, have you heard that...

that Phillip Stroh ‭might be back in the country?

Oh. Um...

Mom told me.

Well, it isn't confirmed.

All of these people

were connected to Phillip Stroh's past in some way.

And they've ‭all been dropping dead...

"accidentally" or by "suicide."

But Andrea says that they all knew Stroh...

- and that he murdered them. - Uh-huh.

And you want me to do what with these names?

I'd like copies from local authorities

of their death investigations.

And you can get those for me, Buzz.

All right, I'll see what I can.

- Hey! It's us! - FLYNN: [CHUCKLES]

I've got to text my sister and tell her to go online

and look for me on the news.

I think that was a national.

Hey, superstar.

We're about to start the interviews.

I'll be right there, Lieutenant.

And don't worry.

I'll file for these death reports today.

[DOOR WHOOSHES]

Where my dad?

You know, my talking to you is gonna really upset him.

- Why, though? - Because it will.

After you yelled out your name

and told me to call the LAPD, he took away my cell.

And we don't have a landline.

Where is he? My dad?

TAO: He's with federal authorities.

He had an unregistered suppressor in his arsenal.

An unregistered suppressor? Is that bad?

- He has a license to s... - He was out of compliance with his FFL,

and he's under arrest.

Which is a bit of a problem because, as a minor,

we need to make sure that you're supervised.

- [DOOR CLOSES] - I'll try and make that

- as easy as possible on you. - Anything?

Uh, no, ma'am. Well, not bodies.

We dug up some parts of a new sprinkler system

not very well installed.

Well, no dead bodies. That's a positive.

TAO: We're trying to establish a timeline

around when Miguel, Lucas, and Ryan went missing.

Do you know where your father was last Thursday at 11:00 a.m.?

Where my dad was?

Uh, well, 11:00 a.m. last Thursday,

uh, Dad was with me all day.

- Homeschooling. - Really? What were you studying?

Um... uh, calculus...

and, uh, physics.

American history.

Discussing Andrew Jackson

and his first loss to John Quincy Adams.

- Why homeschooling? - L.A. Unified is a joke.

Even you liberals know that.

I'm not sending her to a place where she has to learn

surrounded by scary thugs who don't speak English.

There's private school. Parochial.

They protect illegals. Criminals.

Besides, I'm not paying for school

when it's supposed to be free.

So, was it calculus or history?

Either way, ‭they're each other's alibis.

It's gonna take hard evidence to break that.

Unless Kelly is involved somehow.

It's not always the girlfriend.

But when multiple boys are in the mix...

I'm trying to keep her from the wrong ideas

and the wrong kind of people.

Whatever Dad says, Miguel and Ryan are totally chill.

- Like me, you know? - When did you all become friends?

Miguel moved in next door when I was 12.

I met Lucas and Ryan year before last.

And when did you and Lucas start dating?

Look. Your father isn't here,

and he'll never know what we said.

Did you feel like your relationship with Lucas

wasn't real because your father

- didn't want you to... - No, no, no,

it was very real, twice as real as what my mom and dad had.

We would've been together, uh, six months next week.

And we did go out together.

Twice.

Why didn't your father like Lucas?

Did he ever threaten him?

No.

He threatened me.

He told me to, like, stay away from Lucas.

[VOICE BREAKING] But I...

I loved him...

We're very sorry for your loss, Kelly.

Did you know your father called Lucas' parents once?

Damn right I called them.

I ordered them to keep their son away from my daughter

or I'd report him to the police.

Oh, well, you totally should have done that.

See, one of the LAPD's main missions

is to stop teenagers from dating each other.

How did you explain your dislike of Lucas to his father?

I told them we were different. We weren't Catholic.

We weren't brown. We were born in America.

Lucas Garza was born in America.

Where were his parents born? Or his grandparents?

Where were you born, by the way?

You the token Latino?

I heard on the news

the Garzas are third-generation Americans like me

and Daniella Rojas's family is from San Antonio...

Pre-Alamo.

Why is the news even talking about

how long people have been here?

Let's turn off the politics.

Switch back to Kelly for a moment, Buzz.

MAN: ...is more American than you'll ever be.

PAIGE: Did Lucas have problems with his parents, too?

Not like me.

Well, I mean, Lucas worried

about his father having to go to rehab.

How did that make Lucas feel?

Lucas didn't understand

why his father chose drugs over his family.

And I think... [SNIFFLES]

I think Lucas blamed himself a little.

I wish I could talk to him again.

[SIGHS] Just for a minute.

And what about Miguel and his mom and dad?

- Did they have issues, as well? - ‭No.

Well, except being terrified they'd get deported.

They were all afraid of that except for his big sister.

Her husband's an American citizen, so she's safe.

That's why that little bastard tried to date my daughter...

so he could marry her someday and get his green card.

But Kelly's too smart for that.

She knows what Mexicans are like.

And yet she dated a Mexican American boy.

She dated the American part.

FLYNN: What about Ryan Rojas and your daughter?

- What was the nature... - Ryan interested in my daughter?

[LAUGHS] That never happened.

- Obviously. ‭ - Why? Why is that obvious?

That boy whistled when he walked.

What does that mean?

Ryan had a crush on Miguel.

I mean, he never said it. But...

I could tell.

Was Ryan out to everyone?

Not to his mom. ‭Or the rest of his family.

But we knew.

And he said he'd talked about it to Father Jonas.

I don't... I don't know how that worked out for him, but...

Father Jonas. Ah, ‭the secrets you didn't share.

His relationship with Ryan seems like a very, very big deal.

And maybe his relationship with the other boys, too.

You wanna know what I think happened to those boys?

'Cause I'm pretty sure I could tell you. Really?

Neighbor boy got jealous of diabetic boy dating my daughter,

so he and his compadre killed him.

You know that Latin temper, right?

They would never get physical with each other.

Especially not over me. Miguel...

Miguel would never hurt Lucas.

Now, this is important, Kelly.

And I know it might be a secret, a really big secret.

But did the boys tell you

why they might be skipping out on the field trip

or where they might be going?

If there's anything that you can tell us about

where Ryan, Miguel, and Lucas went last Thursday morning,

anything at all...

[BREATHES DEEPLY]

I don't want my father to know.

TAO: We won't tell him. We promise.

Don't be afraid, Kelly. You won't be punished.

Okay, uh, look, uh...

I wasn't supposed to say anything,

but, uh, Lucas told me that he and Miguel and Ryan

were doing something every guy in L.A. wanted to do

and that he was gonna get the best selfies ever.

Selfies? Of what?

Him, Miguel, and Ryan doing the coolest thing on earth.

And they didn't mention where they were gonna do it?

No. I wanted to know where.

But Lucas was like, "How can it be a surprise if I tell you?"

And I asked, "What if you get caught skipping?"

And he said they'd be back before the field trip was over

and... and no one would ever know they'd been gone.

I'll tell you where I think they are.

I think they're at your cabin.

Cabin? What cabin?

NOLAN: Maybe it's a trailer,

near where you shoot off your mouth and your guns

- for an Unhyphenated America. - VEGA: Listen, my friend.

You're facing time in a federal prison.

If I were you, I'd start helping here.

If you were me, you'd ask for your lawyer,

which is what I'm doing.

[RAPID GUNFIR]

PAIGE: Any idea where your father took those videos of himself?

No.

I just thought he was driving off to visit some girlfriend

he didn't want to tell me about.

Oh, my God.

You know, before my mom died,

he'd never have done anything like this.

And now he's just...

[SIGHS] He's so angry.

Angry where, though?

Yeah, where? I spent three hours

trying to match up Marvin's private shooting range

to a satellite map... and nothing.

- Ain't police work fun? - [DOOR OPENS]

Okay, turn down those interviews for a second

and listen to this.

...is a person of interest

in the case of the St. Joseph Three.

This priest has been relocated several times,

most recently when he was alleged to have had affairs

with several mothers of students in his last school.

A source inside the LAPD has confirmed to me...

- [TV TURNS OFF] - Chief! You tipped her off?

You said that this investigation was not a press opportunity.

I changed my mind.

Oh. So it's okay for you to decide that, but not me?

Uh-huh. See, I'm the boss.

And sometimes the press can go where we can't.

This story's going to make the Church very, very angry.

What'll they do? Un-christen us?

- I'm not Catholic. - I am.

Well, the important thing here

is that Father Jonas was doing the moms of his students.

He did seem close to Ryan's mom and to Ryan.

Maybe he got close to Ryan to get closer to his mom.

As an observant detective who looks closely at details,

I noticed that the mothers of our missing boys were all,

in their own way, extremely attractive.

I agree.

It would be wrong to rule out the married mothers.

You know, I may end up liking you after all,

Special Agent Fey.

All right, three missing boys, three attractive women,

one handsome priest.

But how does that all add up to murder?

BUZZ: The death reports you requested came in last night.

One suicide and lots of accidents.

RUSTY: How many clumsy people did Stroh know?

A drowning. An electrocution.

A single car accident. A fall off a hillside.

There doesn't seem to be a pattern.

Stroh is the pattern.

Buzz, he links ‭all of these people together.

But why would he come back after getting completely away?

This just... It doesn't make no sense.

Stroh's psychotic.

Maybe looking for sense is a waste of time.

Maybe I need to find out more about all these people.

Where are we on Father Jonas? Have you found him yet?

Well, the FBI is running point on Jonas

with the Mexican authorities.

SHARON: In the meantime, we're confirming

the alibis of all our parents.

Especially the women, since one of them

might have been straying from her marriage.

But I doubt Father Jonas was sneaking them into the rectory.

I think double-checking Dr. Garza's alibi

is a very good idea.

Dr. Dad killed his only son?

- He was taking a lot of drugs. - With the addict,

it's the disease calling the shots,

not the person.

Or in light of what we know about our missing priest,

maybe Dr. Garza found out his wife was having an affair

with Father Casanova and blamed his son.

Father Jonas is a known mother-lover.

And Ms. Garza is a lot younger than her husband

and, well, more than just a little attractive.

- Excuse me. - ‭Are... Are you rating her?

- SANCHEZ: Ma'am? - ‭No.

- Yes, Julio? - ‭I'm just saying...

If the dad did it, why take the other boys,

unless it was to make it look like a plot by the Church?

None of these questions matter

while Miguel and Ryan are still missing.

If they're dead, and we don't find their bodies,

the defense will use them as a credible alternative

to whomever we arrest.

And if they're alive... Guys, if Miguel and Ryan are alive,

they're my number-one suspects.

These boys didn't just vanish, okay?

They didn't have the resources.

And they weren't planning to disappear.

They were coming back before the field trip was over.

Uh, these kids are either dead

or they're being held against their will.

But if you trust the wires we're running, not for a ransom.

Hmm. Well, too bad we don't have a suspect

who's taken a vow of poverty.

Oh, wait.

But there's also Ryan's biological father,

who might only want out of his back child support payments.

Or gangsters, who might believe

the death of Ryan's stepfather was not so accidental.

Or Marvin Garret, who didn't want his daughter

anywhere near these boys.

Or maybe the Diazes were lying from the start

and their son was kidnapped

by the people they were fleeing in Mexico.

Too bad we don't have a suspect that just went to Mexico.

- Oh, wait. - [CHUCKLES]

But can we put Father Jonas at the museum last Thursday?

Wait. Are you really pushing this idea

that the priest had an affair with Lucas's mom?

She's not a single mother. It's outside his pattern.

Okay, okay. Let's start by checking Dr. Garza's alibi.

BUZZ: The day her son went missing,

Sara Garza texted her husband at work.

Yes, but do we know that Dr. Garza

was actually at the office?

If we'd known Mateo was keeping

the unused painkillers returned by patients,

we would have intervened.

And the moment ‭he admitted to it, we did.

But you continued working with Dr. Garza afterward.

He never exhibited ‭any signs of deterioration.

Look, I admire Dr. Garza,

but I'm not risking my master's in nursing

so he can pop pills before surgery.

As I said before, though he struggled,

Mateo only took the oxy at night,

never while he was at work.

A doctor who gets high a lot... isn't that rather dangerous?

He wasn't "high a lot."

Enough to go to rehab.

Mateo suffered from a disease.

And wisely he sought professional help for it.

And how did Mrs. Garza spend her time

while her husband sought professional help?

Sara? She managed the financial side of the practice.

Why?

Well, dealing with ‭her family's health issues

must have been stressful for her.

Did Mrs. Garza ever seek support outside her family?

Support?

TAO: ‭Or sympathy from someone

who understood ‭what she was going through.

For example, did she develop a closer relationship

with one of her son's teachers at St. Joseph's?

A priest who might have been interested in consoling her

through difficult times.

I'm not sure... Are you suggesting...

Sara Garza wasn't having an affair.

While the doctor was away,

Mrs. Garza was either at work or taking care of her son.

Maybe you don't understand

how labor-intensive managing Lucas's diabetes was.

Is there anyone who didn't know about Lucas's health issues?

Andrea, what do you think?

You mean Lucas Garza was kidnapped

specifically to deprive him of insulin?

If someone knew he'd die without his medication...

That would be murder.

If... ‭lf we could prove intent.

I'm not sure how these questions relate to this...

this tragedy.

I mean, you people understand that that's what this is, right?

This is a tragedy.

All right, we came in here to help,

- but if you're gonna make it - ...Uh, we're not done yet,

so why don't you hold off on the self-righteousness a minute?

You may not be done, but I'm pretty sure that we are.

Are you? Would you rather talk to us?

Or should we pick up the phone and call the medical board?

I'm not sure the California State Licensing Board

is going to be okay with the whole

"Oh, he only takes drugs at night" thing.

Look. Suddenly they're all ears.

Why are you being so hostile?

There are two other boys missing.

This is a tragedy for their parents, too.

You understand that, right, Doctor,

that this is all a tragedy?

We don't want you to go while we are still feeling curious.

Curious about...?

What procedure was Dr. Garza performing last Thursday morning

around 11:00 a.m., ‭when his son first went missing?

- And who was with him? - Thursday morning.

Dr. Garza wasn't...

Look, by prior arrangement,

he was going to a meeting of Narcotics Anonymous

on Thursday morning.

It's part of his recovery.

We were told Dr. Garza was in surgery all day.

And that's why his wife didn't want to disturb him

when their son went missing.

Sara probably didn't want to discuss...

she probably didn't want to discuss the addiction issue.

Because it's not relevant.

Okay, while we're in the alibi business,

let's get one more.

Wait, wait, Sharon, wh-where are you going?

To get some spiritual advice.

Bless me, Father, for I have sinned.

It's been about four weeks since my last confession,

and in that time, I've lied several times

to criminal suspects

and suffered doubts about my relationship with God,

with this Church, and with you.

Are your doubts really spiritual?

Is it God who's let you down or the justice system?

The justice system hasn't abandoned

Miguel Diaz and Ryan Rojas.

Neither has this church.

We've held three vigils and two prayer services

and been a sanctuary for the Diaz family.

And helped put a person of interest beyond questioning

when he might have told us

what his favorite young students were up to.

A priest we now hear has been transferred for...

For sexual improprieties with adult women.

Please don't confuse sin and crime.

The Church forgives and offers absolution.

Father Jonas was interested

in providing these boys with a bedrock of faith

for their troubled lives.

If he cares so much about the boys,

why wasn't Father Jonas on the field trip?

Because he was conducting funerals for the poor

at another church...

...as he does every Thursday and Friday morning.

Last week, Father Jonas buried six undocumented people

with no family in L.A.,

spending money ‭he gets from his relatives

on their coffins and headstones.

Father Jonas conducts funerals at other churches?

We need priests all over this diocese.

We are low on personnel these days.

Sharon...

it could be your search for these boys

has led you to the wrong place.

[KNOCK ON DOOR]

Good evening. Sorry to be so late.

Pop quiz.

Take it apart.

Now put it back together.

- Good. - ‭I'm getting better.

Andy took me back to the firing range earlier this evening.

Keep practicing.

And remember, ‭this is just as a last resort.

Enough about guns.

Did you and Gus ever talk?

No.

I'm going to write him a letter by hand and put it in the mail,

like they did in the 1980s,

just to say, "No hard feelings."

Mom. Mom?

Have you thought about staying home tomorrow just to sleep in?

I bet you that the LAPD can get by for a day on their own.

I am sure that they could.

But I keep thinking about those two missing boys,

and I'm not sure that staying home would be restful.

You know what?

That is quite an impressive murder board

that you've assembled.

Except without the murders.

I don't even know ‭why I'm doing it, really.

It feels a bit ‭like "monkey see, monkey do."

If I could just prove that Stroh killed these people...

[SIGHS]

Oh, boy.

[HAND PATS]

Mnh.

Are you sure tomorrow wouldn't work without you?

Well, I'm sure it would work without me,

but I'm doing something outrageous,

and the Chief will want me to explain.

I begin by saying how shocked and alarmed we are by the LAPD,

as though these families haven't grieved enough

without the city attempting to exhume the bodies

of their deceased loved ones.

I'm appalled that, even in these problematic times,

the authorities would target undocumented people

who make this city work

and for whom the Catholic Church has offered a haven.

What about Father Jonas Alcaraz?

Have you offered him a haven, too?

Father Jonas is being persecuted

- for his service to Christ. - Oh, boy, here we go.

The self-righteousness starts all over again.

Your focus on a man of God

instead of the loss suffered by the Diaz family confuses me.

Alexa? Emilio?

ALEXA: Please, please don't ignore our son.

Our son is still out there.

And Ryan is still out there, too.

Commander, am I to understand that you ordered exhumations

in a Catholic cemetery?

And we're trying to dig up bodies

with no discernible connection to this case?

- Buzz, turn that off. - SHARON: Yes and no.

The people on the headstones aren't linked,

but the funerals were conducted by Father Jonas,

who also supplied the coffins

the day ‭after the boys went missing.

[CELLPHONE RINGING]

The suggestion being that our missing priest

could have interred the other boys

with the people he was already burying. I see.

Well, Miguel and Ryan have to be somewhere.

Why aren't one of you at the cemetery then?

The Church won't cooperate.

Filed an injunction against us to prevent the exhumation.

Uh, we just got a tip from Mexico.

- About Jonas? - Don't get your hopes up.

Let us work it, and if it pans out, we'll get back to you.

As usual, a pleasure sharing information.

Even when we don't really expect anything from them,

they still manage to disappoint.

Oh, my gosh. Oh, my gosh.

I might have Marvin's vlog location, I think.

- Uh, look at this. - [COMPUTER BEEPS]

See that? Those trees? Watch this.

Based on his receipts for gas

and the dates the videos were posted,

I finally figured out which way Marvin headed

when he was vloging... right off Highway 126.

- Near Piru. - Yes!

Here's a satellite map that I think matches up with...

See? There! The rocks? The trees?

Doesn't that look like Marvin's firing range?

Here's another undocumented worker they didn't coerce

out of the country... Rogelio Perez.

August 24, 2015,

Perez reports he was assaulted by three men

while leaving for work.

And that's nowhere near it. Here's another beautiful story.

A man named Dale Lewis was arrested for assault

of a Maria Solis a couple months ago.

Said Marvin's videos were his inspiration.

He's building an army online.

Oh, my God. Commander?

Commander?

Earlier today, Miguel Diaz and Ryan Rojas

have been found in Mexico.

This was the scene just moments ago

as FBI officials led the boys off a plane

and into federal custody.

Questions remain.

Were they victims or perpetrators?

- Although two of them have been found... - What the hell?

- ...the story of the St. Joseph Three... - The FBI was working a tip all right.

- ...is far from over. - FEY: ‭I understand you're upset.

Upset? No, we're not upset. We're enraged.

You knew Miguel and Ryan were found and you said nothing?

I had my detectives and patrol officers out conducting a raid,

looking for these boys.

What if we had shot someone

and you already had him in your custody?

You put us in harm's way for no good reason.

This is not just unprofessional.

This is inexcusable.

The boys were in Mexico, making it an FBI problem.

- And your tone is... - Oh, my tone?

You're concerned about my tone?

Commander, we talked to the boys.

They were found with opiates on their person.

We're drug-testing them. If you'd like...

No. What I'd like is for you to collect your things

and go now.

They go now!

And I want a court order removing Ryan and Miguel

from FBI custody.

This case is our jurisdiction!
