Previously on Ballard...

So what, you running
this thing now?

Keep doing your jobs and
the money will keep flowing.

I'll make sure the cartel
knows it's business as usual.

We traced another number
from Driscoll's cell phone.

I wanted you to see
it for yourself.

Wow. Wow.

-LAPD. Olivas, hands up.
-Hey, easy.

You got no idea
what you've done.

I bet it feels good. Knowing what
you've been through with Olivas.

Surprise. You used to love
watching your dad build his boards.

He died when I was
14. Surfing accident.

Tutu in there thought it would be
cathartic for me to build his board.

You know, everything's
coming up Cold Case unit.

You can feel it, right? Like something
big's coming around the corner?

November 2000.
Sawtelle. Check it out.

Naomi Bennett was assaulted?

-She was a victim.
-A victim who survived.

This is huge. She could
ID your serial killer.

These men may or may not have
been involved in your attack.

Can you tell me if you
recognize any of 'em?

It's number four.

Tom, it's him. Gary Pearlman.

The Councilman's dad?

We found a living victim.

Rawls, where are you?

I stopped by Jake's
place. I'm with his dad.

No, Gary!

Rawls?

Any sign of the shooter?

No, ma'am. Car's in the
garage. Must've left on foot.

Lock down this neighborhood.
No one goes in or out.

We're all over it.

How bad is it?

He's hanging in, but
we've gotta move.

No. Oh, no, Rawls. Goddamn it.

Where is your car?

Where is your car, Rawls?

You hang in there, okay?

Pull up DMV registration
for Ted Rawls.

Put out a crime broadcast
on his BMW ASAP.

Suspect is Gary Pearlman.
He is armed and dangerous.

Copy.

-Laffont.
-Um, what's the news?

He's hanging in, but he's
lost a lot of blood, Tom.

They're putting him in
the ambulance right now.

Any sign of Gary?

No, but I think he
stole Rawls's car.

We're putting out a BOLO. I need
you to coordinate with Metro.

Get Naomi somewhere safe until this guy
is in custody. I need her on lockdown.

Hey. Hey. Hey.

-I gotta go.
-Is that my dad?

-Jake. Jake.
-Is that my dad? Is he okay?

-Stop. Stop.
-What are you doing?

-What are you doing here? Where's my dad?
-Stop.

Jake, it's not your
dad. It's Rawls.

What?

These murders we've
been investigating...

they were committed
by your father.

-What? No. No, that can't... that can't be.
-Yes.

It was Gary all along.

No.

He killed Sarah. He
killed all of them.

I'm sorry. I'm so sorry.

No. No.

I want the major case
management system running

before the hour's up.
Willis, you're heading it.

Make sure we have canvas teams pulling
video in Pearlman's neighborhood

and start interviewing
potential witnesses.

I want Cyber up on...

Cooper. Take him to my office.

I want Cyber up Gary
Pearlman's bank accounts

on his phones, his
email, his social media.

And I wanna find
Ted Rawls's car.

Right now, that's the best
chance we have of locating Gary.

4 Series like that should come with
GPS tracking. I'll get into it.

Coglin, have one of your
people talk to Jake.

Get a list of friends and family
his father might seek out.

-Places he might go.
-Copy that.

Sir, I'd like to be
the one to talk to him.

Captain, no disrespect
to the detective...

I've built a rapport with him.

Sir, my team runs these drills.
We know what we're doing.

And I know these cases, and
I know the people involved.

-If the lieutenant would like to...
-Detective Ballard.

Coglin, I want her with Jake.

-Yes, sir.
-All right. Let's get to it.

You wanna tell me what the
hell happened with the DNA?

You ran Sarah's weeks ago. Why didn't
we get a familial match to the killer?

The only thing I can think of is that
Gary is not Sarah's biological father.

-You think the wife had an affair?
-She could have.

I've got a volunteer working it
right now with Darcy to confirm it.

Make me your first call.

Yes, sir.

You get Naomi squared away?

Yeah. Parker's taking her to a safe house
in Hollywood. She is pretty freaked.

I bet she is.

You busy?

After Mom died, he, um,
folded in on himself.

And all their friends
were hers anyway.

He's got nobody.
Except me, I guess.

So you can't think of
anywhere he may have gone?

Places he talked about?

You know, I found
her that night.

Sarah.

Got home from a friend's.

I thought everyone was
gone. It was so quiet.

I went upstairs.

Her door was open and...

God.

He must've heard me pull up and
that's why he went out the window.

Wasn't five minutes later

before he came through the front
door like he just got home himself.

I looked up to him.
He came to my games.

He helped me with homework.
He gave me advice.

I mean, none of it
makes any sense.

How can... How can he be this...
this monster at the same time?

-Hey.
-Hi.

You talk to Jake?

He's in rough shape. It's
good that you're here.

Have you heard anything yet?

No. I'm on my way
to the hospital now.

If there's anything I can do...

Thank you.

Colleen. How's Rawls?

Uh... Last I
heard, in surgery.

But I haven't seen
the doctor in a while.

Okay, I'm on my way to you.

Okay. Hey, listen,
I heard from Darcy.

That palm print on the
windowsill in Sarah's bedroom,

it definitely belongs to Gary.

Jesus.

And, uh, Jake and Sarah
don't share paternal DNA.

So mom had an
affair. What a mess.

What about Gary? Any
news on where he is?

Not yet. But we'll find him.

I just... I can't believe it was
him. He seemed like such a nice man.

I gotta go. Call me if
there's any updates.

Lewis is covering this area of quadrants.
He's gonna upload. You two split it.

-Captain.
-Whatever you get,

-let me know immediately.
-Excuse me.

I know that the assumption is always
that the suspect is going to run,

but I don't think Gary
Pearlman is going to do that.

Why wouldn't he?

You know we found a woman, Naomi Bennett,
that he left for dead back in 2000.

So?

So based on what I know about him, I don't
believe that he would leave her behind.

Sir.

Explain.

She's not just a loose end.

The guy wants to rabbit.
There is no doubt in my mind.

I agree. He wants to run.

But there's a part of him,

the part that killed all those
women, that won't let him do that.

The fact that Naomi is still out there
and she's alive means that... she won.

I don't think he'll
walk away from that.

-I'm sorry. This is just a complete...
-Just wait a second, goddamn it.

Say you're right, then what?
What would you have us do?

Make sure he knows that somehow.

How do we do that?

-Put me on the news.
-What? Like this isn't already a circus.

-Captain, we need to focus our resources...
-Sir, let me tell him

what he's leaving behind.

And then maybe, I don't know,
but maybe he will reveal himself.

I hope you brought
a change of clothes.

The diligent work of the
LAPD's Cold Case unit

uncovered a mountain of evidence
that Gary Pearlman left behind,

including, most recently,
a living victim.

A woman who survived to
tell her tale and to ID him.

Now, with the full force of the
department focused on locating him,

we are confident Gary Pearlman
will be in custody very soon.

When we count the casualties
this man left behind,

it's not just the women he murdered,
and their families who suffered,

but his family suffered too.

And with that, I know that Jake
Pearlman would like to say a few words.

Dad. Please. Just
turn yourself in.

Anything you do now is
only gonna make it worse.

Please, do the right
thing and cooperate.

They got a location
on Rawls's BMW.

Yeah. A block away from Union Station,
where people go to leave the city.

MTA security has Pearlman on
camera entering the building,

but they lost him in the crowd.

He could be anywhere.

-Hey, can you bring up that track...
-Yeah, well, I need...

Come on, I need a
name. I need a name.

San Francisco, Phoenix,
Bakersfield, San Diego.

And those are just the train
tickets that he bought.

He also bought two bus
tickets and a subway pass.

According to his credit card
company, he rented a car too.

I want your team coordinating
with MTA, Greyhound,

Amtrak, Budget Rent
a Car, whatever.

Follow each lead down,
however long it takes.

-One of them is gotta lead us to him.
-Yes, sir. SIS is on it.

Sir.

If we need more context on Pearlman,
we'll reach out to you. Understood?

What's going on?

He's in the wind.

Damn.

You good?

Yeah. Let's just
get to the hospital.

Bet you're happy
now. Huh, Renée?

Now that IA bought whatever
bullshit that you sold 'em.

It's not bullshit.

You ruined my husband's career.

Olivas made his own choices.

No. You did that.

You lumped him in with
all those dirty cops.

Zamira, you know. You were
his partner. He's a good man.

Janet, there are...

Why don't you go to the hospital
first? I'll meet you there.

Right. Okay.

How could you do
that to our family?

You don't need to
believe me, all right?

But if you wanna
know the truth...

Captain Berchem will
tell you everything.

Take care of yourself.

Sir, I just got to the hospital.

Ballard, a woman was found
in the trunk of her car.

Alive, thank God.

But she works at the
Robeks in Union Station.

Pearlman car-jacked her.
That's how he got out of there.

Where's the car?

Authorities found it near the
Mexican border in Arizona.

They're flagging him with Border Patrol,
but Gary probably crossed hours ago.

We missed him, Ballard.

Yeah. Okay, thanks.

Surprised to see
you in your blues.

Figured he would've liked it.

Some people might assume
that Reserves are outsiders.

Not full sworn, not
brothers in blue.

I think they're as blue as
the rest of us. Maybe more so.

Because they don't do
it for the pension.

They certainly don't
do it for the salary.

They do it because they're part of the
world that they're trying to improve.

And Rawls... Ted.

He wanted to make a difference.

And he may not have
been full-time sworn,

but he was no tourist.

And when you lose a guy like
that, you don't just lose the man.

You lose the justice that
he was gonna chase down too.

So we have to go out there
and chase it down for him.

Ted...

you were an important
part of our team...

and you will be missed. Dearly.

He thought I was
still angry with him.

He knew you wouldn't always be.

How you doing, Ballard?

Hey.

What is it?

I can't stop thinking about
this guy at my dad's funeral.

One of his front
teeth was missing.

Anyway, he told me
later that morning

that it was actually my
dad who knocked it out.

They were 18. Got
into a bar fight.

Next day, my dad shows up at the pier
for this new gig on a long-liner.

And guess who he's working with?

Gap-tooth guy.

They thought for sure one of them was
gonna go overboard by the end of the day.

But you know how it goes.
Small boat, big ocean.

Friends for life.

Yeah.

I guess you're not
coming back to Homicide.

No. I think I'm
good where I'm at.

It's quiet around here.

After hours.

How you holding up?

Not even sure I've
really processed it.

Uh...

His records were a mess, but
I think I got everything.

Thanks for putting
all this together.

There are still victims
we haven't ID'd yet,

so this could help us do that.

Some of this could
even lead us to him.

Yeah. Good.

You know, all this, um...

who he is... ...I just can't
wrap my head around it.

I feel like...

like I'm in one of
those Escher drawings

where everything holds together
but nothing makes sense.

It's ironic, you know.

I pushed for all this to
get closure and some peace.

I got everything but.

You gave that to
other people though.

Other families
that were hurting.

You have to remember
that. It matters.

I hope so.

Hey, do you mind if I take
a few of his things with me?

I can have Hastings
bring it to his family.

That'd be nice.

He, um, called me on his way
to my house that morning.

He was angry with me. He was
coming over to have a word.

About what?

He thought it was pretty messed up how
you got blindsided in that news interview,

and he thought we were crazy
to think about replacing you.

I've, uh, decided to
suspend my campaign.

Not like I had a chance
after all this, so...

But, um, I want you to know that you'll
still have friends on the council,

even after I'm gone.

I appreciate that.

Thank you.

Hey. Um...

When you do find him, if
you can, bring him in alive.

Hey, Tutu.

Just wanted to say hi,
see how you were doing.

I'm fine. I'm just working.

How's it feel?

Quiet.

And a little weird, to be honest. His
protein powder is still in the break room.

Mmm. When are you coming home?

I think now's a good time.
I'll pack up and head out.

Good. I'll chill a couple.

Like the sound of
that. Love you.

Yeah, yeah.

You really think you're gonna
walk away from this, Renée?

Huh?

We both know how this ends.

You bitch!

This is Detective Renée Ballard.
Ahmanson Training Center.

Advise responding units code
4, suspect's in custody.

I need an RA for a male, white,
approximately 70 years old,

suffering from a
pretty messed-up hand.

You know, I knew she was one of
them the minute I saw her face.

Standing at the counter, going
on and on with the salesgirl.

I'm sorry. You said she was
one of them. Who is them?

A certain kind of woman.

Uppity, selfish, not ladylike.

You said she was talking
to the salesperson.

Yeah. At the jewelry store.

She had just gotten a promotion,

and, uh, she was going to put
everything on hold for this job.

Marriage. Kids.

I was doing him a favor, you know?
She wasn't the marrying kind.

We'll come back to that.

We didn't connect any,
uh, souvenirs to Sarah.

I guess you had plenty
around the house.

She seemed like a nice girl.

Honor roll, cheerleader...
...theater club.

How did your daughter
fit the pattern?

She wasn't my daughter.

But I raised her
anyway, like she was.

Because I-I believe
in family first.

And yet she dared to
accuse me of infidelity.

That night?

She found some
things in my truck

and she thought I was
cheating on her mother.

She found your
souvenirs. The lipstick.

She thought you were having an
affair. She had no idea that...

She shouldn't have been
looking through my things.

That's enough.

He cop to all your victims?

The ones we've ID'd, yeah.

Laffont's working the other three
unmatched souvenirs we have left.

What about Laura? He
give you anything new?

Only that he killed her because she
wasn't gonna make his coffee anymore.

Come again?

Laura was a barista
at Gary's local spot.

She was nice to him.
She talked to him.

He liked her until she
landed the commercial,

and then he said that she,
uh, was no longer humble,

she was bragging about
getting the role,

and that she didn't have
to pour coffee anymore.

Just... He was upset that
she was leaving him behind.

Let me guess. All goes
back to his childhood.

Mom left when he was eight, dad
took it out on him pretty severely.

Told him he was the reason.

And the world gains
another psychopath.

Looks like he really did
a number on this place.

Caught me by surprise. I thought he'd
go after our living victim, Naomi,

but I had the psychology
right. Just the wrong target.

Probably a good thing you don't
actually think like a killer.

Glad you got the bastard though.

Even after all those years of
haystack blown over the investigation.

Well, the past is
always present, right?

Renée, let me tell
you something.

Anyone ever takes me out,
I hope you catch the case.

That's a high compliment,
coming from you.

What about your conspiracy case?
Olivas and those other shit-bird cops.

Well, it's with the
DA's office now.

They're keeping me at
arms length, of course.

I should know more
when I see you next.

Ah. Here's everything
I got on Laura's case.

It's a long list of
casualties with this guy.

Yeah. It is.

Till next time.

You got back late last night.

Yeah. I went out with the team.

We needed some time
to be together.

It's beautiful. You gonna
finally take it out?

How could I not?

He'd be proud of you.

Renée! Renée!

-Hey.
-Hey, Harry. What are you doing here?

I reached out to my
friend in the DA's office,

asked about your
conspiracy case.

Tell me.

Goes before the
grand jury next week.

Charging six officers.

-Six? I gave them seven names.
-I know.

They're gonna kick Olivas.
He's gonna walk. Sorry.

So, I want you to be on that two
o'clock call with the mayor...

Chandler. Why isn't Robert Olivas
being charged with conspiracy?

Give us a moment.

How did you know?

The evidence my team collected
indicated he was higher up

than any other
officer we gave you.

Then I believe you've
answered your own question.

He made a deal?

With what? What did he offer?

Conspiracy cases always require
an insider who's gonna flip...

We gave you Manny Santos.

Manny is low-level. We needed
more. Olivas raised his hand.

Of course he did. And you
had to take the easy way.

I know, given your history
with Detective Olivas,

that you might feel...

My history?

He told us about the issues between you,
which you should've shared from the start.

My history has nothing to do with the
fact that he's committed serious crimes.

Detective, you're not seeing
the bigger picture here.

No, I'm seeing it.
Pretty damn clear.

Parker, shit's gone sideways
with Olivas. Call me back.

What the hell, Ballard?
What are you doing here?

You snake! You don't care who
you hurt or who you leave behind!

You always get away
with it! Always!

Calm down, Ballard.
Don't be so upset.

You think the world is
fair, but it's just not.

And it's not my fault either.

I just know how to make
the most out of it.

I'm gonna be fine. I'm gonna weather
all of this because I always do.

But you... you're gonna spend the
rest of your career in that basement,

clawing to get out.

You know, I've
been where you are.

Certain that the wind's
gonna blow in my direction.

But what you don't know is the
whispers have already started.

You're gonna be
toxic in the LAPD.

They're gonna wipe your
name from everything.

Where's your wife, by the way?

She take off already?
Took the boys with her?

You've got me to thank for that.
I put her in touch with Berchem.

Give me a reason.

My career may be in a basement, but
at least it's not in a fucking box.

Who could he possibly
have to trade?

I don't know.

We'll probably find out in a year or
two, when everything comes to light.

But at least he doesn't
have a badge to hide behind.

Bet you wish I never
knocked on your door.

Nah.

I mean, don't get me wrong,

it kills me that he won't get
an ounce of what he deserves,

but... at least I'm
not alone in all this.

-Can I help you?
-Detective Renée Ballard?

That's me.

You're under arrest

for the murder of
Detective Robert Olivas.

What?

Ballard, somebody
shot him. He's dead.

Uh, can you hold on just
for one second please?

You... You don't need to...
