He shot her. I don't know
what to do. He just shot her.

He's here.

I know, I get it. I'm late.

Honestly, I didn't notice.

I got a ticket,
and I did stop this time.

Was it a complete stop?

Not necessarily.
That's poor time management.

By the sound of your voice,
this is somehow my fault?

This
get-out-of-jail-free card...

Not a get-out-of-jail-free card.

That is
a police consultant ID badge.

It's useless. I should just go
back to flirting to get out of tickets.

It doesn't work,
but at least it's fun.

Or quit rolling
through stop signs.

I don't need you to tell me
what I should and shouldn't do

- with stop signs...
- Morgan. Read the room.

You guys are so bad
at pretending to work.

I should put on a clinic.
What's going on?

Soto's up for captain.
Slot's been open for a while.

Word is
she's got the inside track.

Okay, that's exciting.

- Is that a good or a bad call?
- I was just about to ask you.

That's not what you all thought.

When I have news,
I will tell you.

You two, come.

911 had a call a few minutes
ago. You two should have the file.

Here's audio of the call.

He shot her.

I don't know what to do.
He just shot her.

He's here.

Dispatch traced the call
to the address of Raina Viera.

Okay, we could have two victims
and a shooter on the loose. Go.

Raina Viera,
you made a call to 911

about a shooting
and an intruder in your home.

No. I've already told the other
officers, I made no such call!

Okay, well,
we listened to the call,

and it was traced
to this address.

- Anyone else live here?
- I live alone.

No one else was here. I don't
know what else to tell you.

It wasn't me,
and that's the end!

Except that it was.

Are you calling me a liar?

No, she's just
calling you Gullah Geechee

from the coastal community
in the southeast.

Yeah, beautiful accent,
but it's also very rare.

In my life, I've only known
one other person who had it.

My old boss at the DMV.

Her name was Pearl.

Lord, Morgan.
I got to fire you, girl.

I have no idea
what you're talking about.

Well,
the picture over there of you

under the loblolly pines that
are native to South Carolina,

plus your accent,
which I've caught twice now...

And that's it.

Kinda prove that you did
make that 911 phone call.

Well, unless having an accent
is a crime, you can go.

We will be happy to go, ma'am,
as soon as we clear this up.

Would you mind if we just take
a quick look at your cell phone?

Why would I lie
about calling you?

We just want to make sure
you're safe. That's it.

Well, if it'll make you leave,
go ahead.

No 911 call.

- Weird.
- Yeah.

Well, just real quick, for me,

otherwise it's gonna drive me
nuts the whole way home.

You have
such a beautiful kitchen,

so what's up with these
cheap pans on your stove?

You know, I have pans like that.

That makes sense for me,

but it doesn't really fit
into this kitchen.

Is she for real?

We're good here.
We appreciate your cooperation.

She makes a call to 911
and then she denies it?

What does that tell you?

That maybe she saw something,
but now she's afraid to talk.

Exactly. So if someone's
pressuring her to stay quiet,

how do we leave now?

Because she told us
to get out of her house

and she hasn't
committed a crime.

Patrol canvassed the area.

No one saw or heard anything,
and my guy swept the place.

There's no sign of foul play
and no intruder hiding inside.

- Right now she's safe.
- What a relief!

I'll put in a request for unmarked
surveillance outside the house.

Roman asked me
to put eyes on you and Ava.

I sincerely wish
you'd stop using my computer.

Maybe you should get
a less guessable password.

I take it you're still worried
about Raina Viera.

Of course I am. Soto getting
surveillance approved helps.

She fast-tracked it,
which actually took some juice.

Maybe it's a sign that
Soto got the captain's gig.

- Really?
- Yeah.

Okay, so if she moves up
to captain, where do you go?

Probably in there
as acting lieutenant.

Then who am I with?

Someone else.

I don't want to be with someone
else. Unless it's Oz or Daphne.

- They're already partners.
- I can just work with them.

There's no throuples
in law enforcement.

That's just a failure
of imagination.

Yeah. Look, I get it. A mind like
yours, everything is organized chaos.

So when things outside your
control change, it's disruptive.

I don't like it.

If there is a transition, it will
be smooth. We'll make it work.

'Kay.

Karadec.

We did everything we could,
Morgan.

Did we? It wasn't enough.

Daphne's finishing up
with the neighbors.

So far, no one saw or heard
anything suspicious.

No signs of gunshot wounds
or other damage.

Looks like
she just fell and hit her head.

Well, Raina had three missed
calls from somebody named Lucy.

- Let's find out who that is.
- Yeah, will do.

I got my own "" down here.

Yeah? You first.

Raina's got a stain
on the back of her shirt.

Doesn't look like dried blood.

Dirt maybe, right in the middle
of her back.

I doubt she put it there.

I zip myself into enough dresses.
That's a tough spot to reach.

Yeah, my thinking exactly.
Your turn.

Well, when you're about to eat
it at the top of the stairs,

you grab the banister, right?

Look at all the rings
on her hands.

There'd be scratches,
but there's not.

So either she jumped
or somebody pushed her.

Raina witnessed a murder
and somebody killed her

before she could
finish reporting it.

So where's that crime scene?

According to the neighbors, there
was a wild party across the street.

Let's start there.

This place doesn't look so good.

So, rough night?

Just a few people over
for a hang.

You mean a couple
of dozen people.

Throw in some alcohol,
things get out of hand.

Maybe someone left worse
than they came.

Or maybe they didn't leave
at all.

Whoa, I don't know what you
think happened here, man, but...

Any guns in the house, Logan?

Because we received a 911 call

from your neighbor
about a shooting.

And we're starting to wonder
if maybe they got shot here.

Maybe a drug deal gone bad?

Drug deal? Based on what?

How about not judging the cover of
a person without reading the book?

Boy. It was close.

No, not judging, just noticing
the unicorn sticker on your mailbox

signaling to your customers
that you're open for business.

Customers like that jittery guy out
there just circling around on his bike,

waiting for us to leave so he can
come in and you can sell him drugs.

Drugs that I'm guessing are in
that drawer that you looked at

when I mentioned your drugs.

Yeah, there they are.

Logan! Hey!

Right behind ya.

Yo, yo, yo. Give me the bike.
Sorry, man.

Logan!

So, Logan, here's what we're
thinking. Someone died at your party.

Raina had a front-row seat,
and you killed her.

I didn't kill anybody. And
Raina, bro, I was helping her.

Helping her how?

You were her dealer.

I don't identify
by that characterization.

I'm a legit unlicensed
neighborhood pharmacist.

Okay, so, drug dealer.

No. I rob Peter to treat Paul

when the system denies
the meds people need.

- And, what did Raina need?
- Migraine meds.

She fell on hard times, lost her
insurance, couldn't afford the meds.

So I hooked her up. I really liked
that lady. I would never hurt her.

Logan, around 9:30 this morning,
Raina made a 911 call reporting a murder.

- Where were you?
- With Raina.

She was showing me some stuff in her
basement, things she could sell for bills.

Then I get a call from Bones,
so I popped upstairs.

I hang up with him and
then Raina comes back upstairs.

And she made no mention of a
911 call or witnessing a murder?

No, I swear.
She was completely calm.

What time did you talk to Bones?

Probably around the same time
y'all got that 911 call, 9:30 or so.

Okay, so Raina calls 911 while
witnessing a murder from her basement?

That seems weird.

Yeah, assuming Logan's
telling us the truth.

But I think I have a way
to check his timeline.

Black light?

What are you looking for?
Is this like a fluid situation?

No, it's not. There's no way
Raina witnessed a murder in here

- unless it happened in here.
- Okay, so Logan might be lying.

If we can find his fingerprints
down here,

it means
he could be telling the truth.

Instead of waiting a day or two for
Forensics to dust and process prints...

You are bending the rules.
Look at you.

Logan's behavior tells me he's
got a ton of drugs in his system.

That changes the way
fingerprints look under a black light.

They shine brighter than
normal. You see the difference?

Yeah.

Yeah, I can almost guarantee
the glowing print is Logan's,

which puts him here in the basement,
but in order to clear him as a suspect,

we have to place him upstairs
at 9:30.

My turn.

Do you remember the four beeps
in the 911 call?

Yeah, it was faint,
but I heard it.

I don't know what to do.
He shot her.

Okay, I think that was
Raina's bougie coffee maker.

Yeah, she was drinking
a cup when we walked in.

I think it was set to turn on
at 9:30 in the morning,

but the thing is,
coffee makers like these

beep eight times
when the pot is ready.

I've had some really bad bosses
with great taste in coffee.

- But we only heard four beeps.
- That's right.

Somebody turned the alarm off,
and I think that someone was Logan.

This proves Logan was here
at 9:30,

so she definitely made
that 911 call from down here.

But why? What could she
have seen from the basement?

Let's see.

Who are you? Look.

- 2007's calling.
- Raina had a second phone.

Yeah, but without cell service.

That doesn't matter. Since '96,
the FCC requires that all cell phones,

active or not, have
the capability to call 911.

- You knew that already, didn't you?
- Yeah, I did.

I was hoping you did too,
'cause I thought

it'd be nice
to let you have this one.

Appreciate it.

Okay,
she turned it on from here,

made the call from here,
but why? What did she see?

Three boxes of brand-new
cheap pots and pans?

Buy one, get two free?

No, she needed them as backups
'cause she kept burning hers.

She was leaving the stove on,
and she was also putting items

from her kitchen
in the wrong spots.

The pills she was taking weren't
for migraines. Those pills also treat

early onset dementia.

So Raina wasn't lying when she
said she didn't make the 911 call.

- She just didn't remember.
- Dementia can rob you of your memories

but can also jumble them all up

so new memories can get lost
and old ones can resurface.

But something
would've had to trigger it.

You think while she was looking
for stuff to sell,

maybe something set her off?

Yeah, I think so. And, honestly,
it really could be anything.

It could be a smell or a sound.

Morgan.

Or a bloodstained dress.

- That looks like a trigger to me.
- Yeah, that would do it.

So Raina did witness a murder.

The question is:
when did she see it?

So Raina witnessed a murder. We
just don't know when it happened.

If we can date the dress,
we can date the cold case.

The earliest age most
people start to form memories

is around three or four.

Given Raina's age, we can
rule out any cases prior to 1975.

That's 50 years of cold cases.

15,320 cases, give or take.

Someone needs
to whittle that down.

Didn't you tell me one time that
vintage is your love language, Morgan?

I've never once said "love language"
to you, but I can take a crack at it.

Lot of staring. Everybody just
staring right at me.

Yeah, a little space.
Thank you.

I need a lighter.

You just asked for space.
Now you need a lighter?

Yeah, I'm a complex woman.
Can I have a lighter, please?

This fabric
has a slight shine to it.

It's not as glossy as satin, but
it's more polished than cotton.

I think it might be Tencel.

- Anything else?
- Yeah, some scissors.

You do know this is evidence,
right, Morgan?

Yeah. Yeah. You should
probably turn around.

Yep, burns quick and clean.

This is Tencel, which
was not available until 1985.

Now the fabric
is just the first clue.

Is the US registered
identification number the second?

It most certainly is, Daphne.
Okay, 178549.

This dress was manufactured
by Cibrian Creations,

but they went out of business
in 2015.

Okay, you guys know when they
started putting tags in clothes?

In 1971, manufacturers had
to provide clear instructions

so that people
wouldn't screw up their clothes

when they were doing laundry.

In 1998, the FTC approved
the use of symbols.

The care tag in this dress,
it's all symbols.

Now the final piece of the
puzzle is the one that's missing.

There's no bar code.
There's no inventory number.

This dress was made
before the year 2000.

See, I like this staring.

That time frame leaves us
with 200 cases.

Yeah, but Raina's 911 call,
she said the person was shot.

And then there were nine.
No, that's not it.

Okay, only one case
had a victim wearing a dress

that looks a lot like Raina's.

Greta St. John, 25-year-old black
woman, up-and-coming singer,

last seen New Year's Eve 2000
at a club called the Black Jewel.

She was found across town
in an alley.

Died of a gunshot wound
to the chest,

but no weapon found
at the scene,

no witnesses,
not many suspect interviews.

The ME didn't even list
a clear time of death.

The ME noted powder burns
and shrapnel on her right side

but did very little about it.

This case
didn't get any attention.

Young Black woman found
on the wrong side of town.

Let me guess, it wasn't a
top story on the evening news.

Okay, so 25 years ago, Raina
witnessed the murder of Greta St. John.

And then was killed before
she could tell us what she knew.

It stands to reason that Raina and
Greta were killed by the same person,

likely someone
who knew them both.

According to the file, there was
a guy named Eddie Friedman

who managed the Black Jewel
at the time of the murder.

- Go look, see what he knows.
- Lucy,

the woman that called Raina
three times, just got back to me.

- She's willing to talk to us.
- Divide and conquer.

You guys track down Eddie.
We'll talk to Lucy.

Copy that.

What can you tell us
about Greta St. John?

She had a voice
like no other.

The New Year's Eve show was
her moment. She was about to go big.

And did that rub anyone
the wrong way?

Yeah. Raina Viera.

So, Lucy, how did Raina
and Greta know each other?

They were rivals
at the Black Jewel.

Raina was a singer too,

but she didn't like talking
about Greta all too much.

Any specific reason why?

I met Raina
when I photographed her

for a piece I did
in Static Vinyl magazine.

It was about lost voices
of the '90s,

talented women who just never really
broke into the cutthroat LA music scene.

I think it was hard for Raina
to talk about Greta.

She defied the odds
when Raina hadn't.

Greta's evolution as an
artist was... something else.

It made sense to all of us
why her star was rising.

During that New Year's Eve show,
everyone knew who the star was.

This doesn't really sound
like an artist on her way up.

You're right.
See, that was Greta before.

And this... is Greta after.

Wow. That hardly sounds
like the same woman.

So this song was recorded

after something happened.
What was it?

Mac Epps.

His name came up in my research.

He was Greta's manager at first,

but then he started working
with Raina,

and now he owns the Black Jewel.

So two rivals and the same
manager? Sounds like a bad idea.

Did Raina ever talk about Epps?

Not really, but I did get the
sense that she blamed him

for her career never taking off.

He was shady. After Epps
got arrested on a drug charge,

Greta found her voice, I mean,
literally and figuratively.

But after Epps got out,
he wanted to be a part of it.

Did Greta give in
to his demands?

No, and he didn't take it well.

He started harassing her.

The rumor was the only reason

he started managing Raina
was to get close to Greta.

He was using Raina as a pawn.

I think Raina realized he wasn't
really interested in her career.

Then why didn't she leave?

He was a dangerous man
with powerful friends, even then.

And that's why Greta
wanted nothing to do with him.

He turned her family's life
upside down for decades.

It explains why everyone
was radio silent

during the original
investigation into Greta's murder.

I should have told the cops
what I knew back then,

but I was scared.

We all were.

If you have any photos or videos

from the Black Jewel that we
could borrow, that'd be helpful.

You bet. I have more than
you could ever want or need.

We think Raina may have been
keeping a secret that got her killed.

Do you have any idea
what that could be?

No, I have no idea
who would want to hurt her.

I can't believe she's gone.

She and I got really... close.

She was
like a second mother to me.

We're gonna find who did this.

The mailbox is full and cannot
accept any messages at this time.

How long till the lab gets back to
us with the results on that stain?

A lot longer than we'd like. But
you know what's faster than the lab?

Me?

Can I have
everyone's attention, please?

You may have heard that I was
up for the captain's chair.

Turns out you're stuck with me.

Don't be so disappointed.

Right now, all I know is they're
bringing someone in from another squad,

but no matter who the captain
is, I expect you to treat him

with the same respect
you treat me.

You're still my squad.

Continue to do me proud
just like you always do.

Let's get back to work.

- It's not fair.
- Should have been you.

Clearly they don't know who
keeps things on the rails around here.

I appreciate all that.

Why are you being
so cool right now? I hate this.

What are this new guy's
qualifications? I'm assuming it's a guy.

Statistically, yes.

But you know what I hate?

Unsolved cases.
We have two right now.

So how about we focus
on who killed Greta and Raina.

So, suspects?

Well, Eddie Friedman
alibied out.

He was at Corbyn Lanes
with his bowling league.

Lucy Hastings was at
a photo shoot at Griffith Park.

She was alone, but her pictures
were time-stamped.

That leaves Mac Epps
as our prime suspect.

He's built an empire,

a mix of illicit and legitimate
businesses, including the Black Jewel.

Yeah, and he had a motive
to kill Greta

because she was about to blow
up and wasn't taking him with her.

What about Raina? Does he look
good for her murder too?

Well, Raina moved into her current
home shortly after Greta's death.

No way she bought that house in
her 20s unless she won the lottery.

Which is why we looked
at the deed.

The first few years,
Mac Epps's name was on it.

It was either a gift or more
likely a payment for her silence.

A silence she maintained until
a dementia-induced episode

led her to reveal the truth.

Any indication Epps knew
that could be a possibility?

Well, we dug up CCTV footage from
outside of the Black Jewel a few days ago

- and we found this.
- That is Mac Epps.

Yeah, doesn't look like
a friendly reunion.

No, it looks
like a motive for murder.

I think it's time
to visit the Black Jewel.

I know your silences, Morgan.

My silences? It's not a thing.

It's a thing.

You get quiet a lot.

You got family-drama quiet,
a little furrow of the brow

and you start messing with your
cuticles like you're trying to dig up a secret.

There's case-frustration quiet,
clenching of the jaw

and your eyes start scanning like you're
mentally breaking apart the crime scene.

There's the pissed-at-me quiet.
That's a classic.

It's a stone-cold stare and
a little flare of the nostrils.

And then we've got this one
right here,

which is the
something-you-want-to-say quiet.

Pursing of the lips,
distant look.

Whatever. I'm just worried
about Soto, aren't you?

- Have you talked to her?
- No. I don't plan to.

- That's it?
- Every cop's wired differently.

If she wanted
to open up to me, she would.

Okay, so your silence is just
"do nothing, say nothing."

Yeah.

Well, it's dumb,
and I don't care for it.

- Right back to the pissed-at-me quiet.
- All right!

Mr. Epps isn't expecting you,
so I have to ask him if it's okay.

It's okay
because I said it's okay. Okay?

You know what?
Just let him do his thing.

Otherwise he's gonna pull his badge
out, get all showy. It's pretty annoying.

- Hey, boss. We got...
- Mac Epps.

- Detective Karadec, LAPD.
- This is my... -Yo, my man.

I don't really care who you are
or whatever she is.

Let me tell you how we do it
in the Black Jewel.

Make an appointment, come back
during office hours. Cool?

- Yeah, I don't think so.
- You can't.

Assaulting an officer
is a serious charge, son.

I tried to warn you, didn't I?
I just... I just warned him.

Thank you. Hi. Hi, I'm Morgan.

- Can I scooch?
- Hi. Yeah.

I'm Julie. I love this jacket. Girl, I
see you, your style is everything.

- Thank you.
- Yeah.

- Is this for everyone?
- You know what?

I asked the same thing when I
got here and I didn't get an answer,

- so I've just been going in.
- You just jumped right in anyway?

You got to. - I like your style too.

Do me a favor.
Ask your questions and go.

Two names. Greta St. John,
Raina Viera.

- What about 'em?
- They're both dead, Mac.

Greta for 25 years,
case still cold.

Raina, about 36 hours or so.

I mean, you got anything
to say about that, Mac?

Nah, nothing.

That's interesting because
you managed both of them.

Matter of fact, you... you bought Raina a
house shortly after Greta was murdered.

Suspicious timing, you know?

One thing has nothing to do
with the other.

I made a deal with Raina.
A big one.

I got the rights to her music
in exchange for the house.

But you know what?
I lost my ass on that deal.

Her career never took off,
but I let her have the place

out of the goodness of my heart.

Aw. That's nice.

Um, speaking of your heart, you
were more than Greta's manager.

She had a compass tattoo on
her wrist, and I see that North Star.

Perfect match.
Two tools of navigation.

The compass leads the way.
The North Star holds steady.

That's so romantic.

So maybe Greta wasn't just
walking away from your business.

Maybe she was walking away
from you.

Something personal went down
after that New Year's Eve celebration.

Ball drops, confetti flies, and then
maybe a few hours later, the next day...

You know what?
I've heard enough.

Now, either y'all leave now,
or I'ma tag my lawyer in on this.

JJ Pierce. They call him "The
Badge Collector." Heard of him?

I haven't heard of JJ.

- Have you heard of nickel dermatitis?
- No.

It's a reaction to cheap metals
like the ones that are in foil confetti.

When I saw pictures of Greta
before midnight,

her skin was so smooth
and clear, beautiful.

But at midnight, the ball
dropped and so did the confetti.

And wherever the confetti landed
on her skin, there were hives.

Nickel can trigger hives very
quickly, in under a minute.

They were still there
in the autopsy photos.

You put all that together,
and what I'm saying is,

Greta was murdered in this club
just a few hours after midnight.

- I'm done talking.
- Well,

we're not done digging.

I have a feeling
we'll see you again real soon.

And next time, put out
some little share plates.

- It's less confusing and more sanitary.
- Morgan.

See how many times

I put my fingernails in there?

I just got a call
from Epps's lawyer, JJ Pierce.

What does The Badge Collector
have to say?

That if we ever go back to the
Black Jewel without a warrant,

he will add to his collection.

Well, this is interesting.

Soto, look at this picture.

And this one a week later.

And then this one
a month after that.

Do you see what I see?

- She had a baby.
- She had a baby.

Um, I don't get it.

Yeah, well,
that doesn't surprise me.

Love you, LA.

Nobody really teaches
you about women's bodies.

People think the party returns
when the pregnancy ends,

but being postpartum sucks.

Look, she's got a splint on
'cause she had mommy wrist.

Repetitive hand and wrist movements
while holding a baby can do that.

She ditched the heels 'cause
you're not hauling around a kid

and a diaper bag in high heels.
That's just dumb.

And then she started styling her hair
differently because it was falling out.

All of these are symptoms of that
three-month period after a baby's born.

It's called
the fourth trimester.

And then when Epps was behind
bars, Greta really found herself.

I think it's because she became
a mom, and to protect her child,

she had to hide that baby
from a dangerous father.

She had Epps's baby, and when he
eventually found out about the child,

there was a confrontation
and he killed her.

How do we prove he pulled the
trigger? That gun is long gone.

But maybe
it left something behind.

Here's what I'm thinking.

Look at all these pictures of
Epps. Do you see his right hand?

- Do you notice anything?
- Yeah, New Year's Eve, no scar.

New Year's Day, a bandaged hand.

He hurt himself that night.

That's right. And Greta's autopsy
photos, the right side of her face.

- Powder burns on her jaw.
- Yeah, given to her from Epps's gun.

He shot her in the chest,

but that wouldn't have caused
the powder burn on her face,

so he fired again.

But that wouldn't have caused
the scar on his hand.

An explosion would.

The only way a gun explodes
is by firing it after it was jammed.

So the first shot
was to her chest,

the second shot was a jam,

and the third shot exploded,
ripping through his hand,

and burning her face.

And Raina witnessed
the entire thing.

What did you do?

Which explains
the blood on Raina's dress.

Greta!

That scar puts the murder
weapon in Epps's hand.

Looks like The Badge
Collector's about to get his warrant.

I'll get it within the hour.

You go back to the club, I'll get
Daphne and Oz to go to his home.

- You stay here.
- What? No, I'm coming with you.

- Morgan, it's not safe.
- I will be fine.

Karadec, I need to see
the look on his smug face

when he finds out
we got him for murder.

I cannot risk you getting hurt
in a raid.

I'll bring in Greta's killer.
You find her child.

Fine, but when you get him...

You'll see his smug face when
I put him in the box. Promise.

Excuse me. Move, move, move.
Excuse me.

Epps!

Outta the way. Move, move.
Excuse me. Outta the way.

Let me go!

- Put the gun down, Epps!
- Nah, I like where it is.

The place is surrounded. The
only way out for you is in cuffs.

You must be crazy if you think
I'm going back inside.

You should have thought about
that before you killed Greta St. John.

Greta got exactly
what she deserved.

You tell me what kind of woman
keeps a man from his child?

For years,
I searched everywhere.

You stand down right now
and I promise you

I will do everything I can
to help you find your child.

It's too late! You stand down, or
she's gonna end up just like Greta.

If you do that, Mac, you leave
me no choice but to respond.

I'd rather be carried by six
than tried by 12.

Let's see who blinks first.

Who's that guy?
I don't like him from out here.

- Internal Affairs.
- What?

You discharge your weapon,
it's a big deal.

He saved Julie's life, and
it's not like he killed the guy.

Doesn't matter.
This is the process.

Well, should I be worried?

Epps killed Greta. I think he
killed Raina. You can't expect me

- to just sit at home.
- It's policy.

You have to be cleared by behavior
science section before you can return to work.

Come on, Solomon. You know how
long it takes to get an appointment.

It's my job to make sure you follow
the rules, not help you break them.

Okay, fine. So call and get me
on the books first thing.

- That is not breaking the rules.
- No, but it's bending them.

And that is not my style.

It used to not be yours.

I wouldn't ask
if it wasn't important.

Every case is important, Adam.

I'm sorry. Policy is policy.

Doesn't policy say
that we withhold judgments

and investigate every case to
the fullest extent of the law?

That didn't happen
for Greta St. John.

If the job had been done right,

I wouldn't have had to pull that trigger,
and Raina Viera would still be alive

because Mac Epps would have been
in prison and not out running the streets.

What does policy say about that?

Just this
once I will make the call.

Thank you. Whatever time
they have, I'll be there.

Then go with Morgan
to the impound.

Check Epps's car for anything
tying him to Raina's murder.

Yeah.

I've heard some things
about this consultant.

Then you know
how invaluable she is.

Her value comes with a lot of
things that make me nervous.

Kind of nervous that has me
looking at your reports a bit more often.

What happens with my squad
is none of your business.

Till it is.

Good night, Selena.

Pretty clean car
for such a giant dirt bag.

Let's just hope we find something in
here that helps us prove he killed Raina.

Hey, you okay?

I'm fine. Why?

Because you just shot
somebody yesterday.

You don't go from that to fine
in 24 hours.

I told you it was a clean shot.
IA will clear me.

I'm not worried about your
badge. I'm worried about you.

Typically when someone pretends
that something big doesn't matter,

it means that it really does.

You and Soto are doing a lot
of pretending that you're fine.

A cop's worst nightmare is
having to discharge their weapon.

Yeah, I bet. How many times
have you done that?

Three. But I never hit anyone
till now.

Epps had a gun pressed
to a young woman's temple.

He'd killed before, would have
had no problem doing it again,

so I had exactly two options.

Let him go or shoot him.
Knowing that if I missed...

You might kill the person
you're trying to protect.

How'd you do that? Weren't you
worried you might accidentally hit her?

Every morning I start
my day at the gun range.

Discipline. Repetition.

Endless hours
focused on one thought.

What would I do if a day
like yesterday ever came?

I'd seen that shot in my mind every
day for the last 20 years, and I took it.

I knew I wouldn't miss.

Check this out.
Some kind of pass.

Monday is when Raina was killed.

It's a visitor's pass
to a federal prison.

So Epps was visiting a prison
on Monday.

California's got
13 federal prisons.

I'll have Daphne and Oz
start calling each one.

Are there any near the Mojave
Desert? 'Cause that's where this car was.

Yucca moth. They're dependent
on Joshua trees for survival,

so if one hit Epps's windshield,
this car was in the Mojave.

Well, the only one out that way is
Victorville, but it's a two-hour drive.

Epps confessed to killing Greta
25 years ago.

But if he was two hours away in
the desert when Raina was killed...

Then he's not our guy.

All right, so... Raina helped
Epps cover up Greta's murder.

Which is why we've been thinking.

Epps pushed Raina down the
stairs to keep Greta's murder a secret.

But the prison in Victorville
confirmed he was there

at the time of Raina's murder.

That means
Raina and Greta were killed

by two different people
25 years apart.

Okay, so if Raina's murder
wasn't about keeping secrets,

maybe it was about revenge.

You're thinking
someone found out Raina's role

in Greta's murder
and then killed her.

Yep, so now we need to be
thinking about family members.

Maybe even Greta's child. We still
have no idea what happened to the baby.

Well, there was no record
of Greta giving birth in LA.

She could've used an alias.

Or given birth
somewhere else entirely,

making it nearly impossible
to find her child.

Well, hang on, I think I know
exactly what happened to Greta's kid.

And to Raina.

Detective, Ms. Gillory, is
there news about Raina's case?

- Yes, we've had a big break actually.
- Thought you'd like to know.

We finally know who killed her.

That's great.

It's you.

What? I loved Raina.

That might be true,
but you also killed her.

I couldn't have killed her.
I told you I was at work.

Right. You said that,
at the time of the murder,

you were taking pictures
at Griffith Observatory.

With one of your cameras
that has the built-in time stamp.

You know what's more reliable
than a time stamp? The sun.

A couple cool things about
the Griffith Observatory:

The observation deck has these
bronze lines built into it,

and it shows you the position of
the sun in the sky throughout the year.

And that weird ring sculpture
with the wire through it,

that's actually a sundial.

So your time stamp said you took
those pictures at noon on a Monday,

but the sun tells me they were
taken around 3 p.m.-ish last December.

This is crazy.

- No, it's not crazy.
- It's science.

And we can prove you're
the one that pushed Raina.

Raina had a smudge on the back of
her shirt, drove my partner here crazy.

Yeah, I couldn't figure out
what that stain was.

So once again, your profession
was your undoing.

Turns out it was silver nitrate,

something photographers like yourself
use when you're developing pictures.

You must have had a small amount of
it on your hands when you pushed her.

The only question was
why would she do that?

Why would you kill Raina? You said
she was like a second mother to you.

We're guessing that all went out
the window as soon as you realized

she was lying to you about your
actual mother, Greta St. John.

The last time we were here,

you said that Epps terrorized
Greta's family for decades.

It's not something you would know,
Lucy, not unless you were family.

Unless you were the reason that
Greta made all those sacrifices.

I just came here searching for answers
about what happened to my mom.

Yes, I found Raina, and
I kept my identity a secret.

But then she...

started having all these
episodes, because of her dementia.

That's when she confessed to me that she
was a part of covering up my mom's death.

But she wouldn't give you
the whole story.

No, and... I find out
that Mac Epps is my dad,

and that he probably killed her.

So I just wanted Raina to tell
me the truth about what happened.

So I did. I confronted her,
but then she just...

she flipped out on me, threatened
to never speak to me again.

I snapped.

Look, I swear... I swear
I did not mean to kill her.

Lucy, we got justice for your mom, and
now we have to do the same thing for Raina.

My God.

You're under arrest for
the murder of Raina Viera.

Come on. This way.

Seriously, Gillory?
We can get you a computer.

I'll go get it myself.

How am I gonna make you nervous about
your search history if I'm on my own computer?

Y-You were right.

I'm sorry. Could you say
that again? I didn't hear you.

What was I right about?

I've been taking care
of myself for a long time.

So long that sometimes I forget what it's
like to have somebody looking out for me.

You were right about me
not going to the Black Jewel.

Certain things a police consultant
does not need to be around.

- You were right too.
- Yeah?

My "do nothing, say
nothing" silence, it's not optimal.

You have no plans
to change that, do you?

Well, I don't need to.
I've got you.

Something else?

Yeah, one last thing.

You're allowed
to be pissed with me.

- Morgan, what did you do?
- Nothing.

No, I didn't mean you're
allowed to be pissed at me.

You can. You're my boss.

You can do whatever you want,
but that's not what I'm talking about.

I feel like I lost track of this
conversation before it started.

Despite your
overwhelming qualifications,

you were passed over
for captain.

And I have to assume that part of
you wonders if that has anything to do

with you being a woman.

- Because if it were me...
- You would have gone scorched earth.

Absolutely, and I would have
loved every single second of it,

so they're lucky
that you're not me.

You're you.

You gotta be strong
for everybody out there.

I understand that.

One of the beautiful things
about me not being a cop is...

Is that
I can be pissed with you.

Anything you need.
Anytime you need it.

I could just be your friend.

I'm pissed.
It should have been me.

Yeah.

This never happened.

I never even cared in the first place. I
don't know what you're talking about.

- Hi.
- Hi.

All I want is
to enter my house justified.

Okay.

It's just a line from
an old western I love.

It's a line from the Bible.

That's right, it is.
Peckinpah stole it.

Anyway,
it's my clumsy way of saying

you look like somebody who's
proud of a good day's work.

Thank you. I am.

I'm also so tired
I might fall asleep in my car.

All I want is to fall asleep
in my car justified.

So what's someone like you
doing in a police station?

Trying to get that mustache
to make sense?

That's good.

I've heard about you.

- Excuse me?
- Morgan Gillory, right?

Major Crime's secret weapon.

I didn't mean to freak you out. I've
just been looking forward to meeting you.

Okay.

- Are you not getting off?
- Nah, I was supposed to get off at three.

I just wanted
to finish our conversation.

Third floor. That's Command.

So it is. Nick Wagner.

Your new captain.
