It's all LAPD business. Keep my baby close. It won't take long.

I'm closing down the street.

I like to keep a little freak in the street.

Detectives. Where's my better half?

Bathroom.

Good morning, Morgan.

So, what do you think happened?

Well, I think we can rule out nothing. And we're off?

Melted candle, empty glass.

Clothes thrown everywhere.

Looks like a wild night that went south.

But was it murder?

100%. Well, you don't think so?

I think it was murder in a cover -up, but I want to know how you know.

Sounds like a challenge.

How fun.

See these hand towels?

You may remember that I used to be a professional cleaner.

Vaguely. Yes. The way that these towels are folded are a disgrace.

Look, the bottom two have two edges. The top one has three edges. That means the

killer used this top towel to clean up after himself. Cover his track.

Now, get down here and see what I'm seeing.

I can see just fine from up here, thanks, but what do you see? You see

streaks? Any self -respecting housekeeper is going to use a microfiber

bathroom floor.

Our murderer used that towel to wipe up this area.

Which suggests a cover -up. Exactly. Now, our Vic... It's okay if I call him

Vic? It's happening. Our Vic was not alone, because no man's going to spend

money on a hotel room this fancy.

unless he's planning on entertaining.

And my guess... could be Brunette.

Why? Did you find a hair sample?

Nah, but blonde seems too obvious, so I'm going with Brunette for now. Either

way, she had to be pretty attractive, because I don't mean to be

but the dead guy in the tub is super hot.

Morgan, please don't ever comment on the hotness of a victim ever again. Okay,

the manager opened the safe for us, and we found the victim's wallet. Inside,

$80 cash and an ID.

Ernest Lozano.

Mexico City.

Do a deep dive.

Anything, everything you can find on the guy. But stop by the security center

downstairs first. Look at last night's footage.

Got it. Yep.

Wonder what he was drugged with.

How do you know he was drugged?

Well, because who does their dishes in a hotel room?

Except you, maybe.

Anyway, this glass was rinsed out and wiped clean. And why would you do that

unless you were trying to get rid of white residue? Notice anything else

the glass?

It's a whiskey tumbler.

Lead -free, crystal cut, which is harder, more durable than glass,

most scratches.

Also refracts light beautifully.

You want me to know you drink whiskey so bad? Point being, this piece of

glassware is far more expensive than the others.

It must have been brought up to the room. That's right. So Lozano and his

brunette stopped at the hotel bar before coming up to the room, but you already

knew that. The tumbler was rinsed out, leaving little to zero trace of whiskey,

which strongly suggests a cover -up. And why cover it up unless it was murder?

Now, let's go hit the hotel bar.

I recognize him. He had a drink at the start of my shift around 7 p .m.

Was he with anyone?

A sexy brunette, maybe?

I'd say medium sexy.

Also, she was blonde.

Really?

Did it seem like business or pleasure?

Maybe both. The guy was definitely tying one on. Made sure to leave a generous

tip before they bounced.

Catch the name of his guest by any chance?

We were slammed, so I couldn't really hear their convo, but I want to say

name sounded like Candace or Gladys or Janice.

Thank you. Thank you.

So we scrubbed through last night's footage, and we found this at 8 .02 p

Lizano and his mystery woman down the fourth floor into the room, and then at

.33 p .m., right there, she leaves.

No one else used a key card to enter the suite until this morning when the

cleaners discovered Ernest Lozano's body. That must be our killer. I showed

photo of our mystery woman to the hotel doorman. He said she parked her red Kia

out front in a no -parking zone around 7 p .m. Shortly after, LADOT arrived and

started writing tickets.

So call LADOT, see if we can ID the red car. I already called. They didn't issue

a ticket to a red Kia out front of this hotel last night.

One of the only cars that don't get ticketed belong to cops and doctors.

aren't issued red cars. Right. So it must be vehicle code 21058.

Mm -hmm.

Yeah, it must be. Yeah.

Remind us about vehicle code 210 -58. It's an emblem allowing physicians

responding to emergencies to be exempt from laws governing parking.

There's a hospital less than a mile from here. Swing by and see if anyone

recognizes the woman from our hotel security footage, and we'll circle back

the precinct.

That sounds like a city council issue, not a major crimes issue.

Of course. Keep me posted. Bye.

How's the hotel case looking?

Daphne and Oz ID'd our suspect as a physician who works in the neighborhood.

They're bringing her in for questioning as we speak. You like her for it? Oh,

very much. We have her on hotel security footage entering and exiting the

victim's room around the time of the murder. Yeah. It's open and shut.

Fully requested, defendant. Thank you.

Uh -oh. You good with that? Need some help?

No one can help me with this.

I'm gonna have to rely on someone I'd rather not deal with.

Welcome to my world.

Dr. Iris Bowman, tell us about your relationship with Ernest Lozano.

I wouldn't call it a relationship.

What would you call it?

Harmless fun.

We met three months ago at a hotel bar and hit it off.

I can't believe he's dead.

When you say hit it off... It's exactly what you think it means.

Ernest would reach out whenever he was in town. It was...

No strings attached fun between two adults.

Hmm. Well, what did you know about him? Ernest was a curator in Mexico City.

He wasn't like most LA guys.

He was fun, charming, cultured. What did your husband think about this casual

sling?

My husband died in a car accident nine months ago.

What Ernest and I had was temporary.

He was meant to be a band -aid on my life.

So what happened last night?

Nothing.

He was in town. I met him at our spot. We had a drink or two.

Went up to our room.

Drew a bath.

But then Ernest fell asleep.

So I left. Well, see, the thing is, Dr. Bowman, we have you on security footage

entering Lozano's room and then exiting 30 minutes later.

After that, not a soul enters or exits that room. And now, Ernest Lozano is

dead.

I told you everything.

He was alive when I left.

Do I need a lawyer? There will be one. You have the right to remain silent and

refuse to answer questions. She didn't do it.

The candles. There were candles lining the bathtub.

I have the same ones at home. I got them on clearance. They smell like laundry.

But the problem is they only burn for about four hours.

I'm sorry. I don't know. Is that a long time? For a candle? What?

No. A tea light burns longer. No. All of the candles were melted down all the

way except for this one.

Something put out this candle.

And you know what puts out fire?

Water? Yes, Doctor.

Water. Water. Out of the tub fire, in this case, bath water. Bath water put

this lone candle. So that means there was a tub fight. There was thrashing

around. Bath water splashed out and extinguished the flame.

The candle looked like it had been burning for about an hour and a half.

Okay, so you are saying that when Dr. Bowman left the room, all the candles

burning, and an hour after that, something happened in that room. And

was in that room.

Can I leave now?

Um... Yeah.

Free to go.

Speaking of good... Huh?

Our only suspect walks out the door.

Mahomes, under on passing yards, over on rushing yards.

Next WNBA Finals, Aces, Moneyline, Wilson.

Huh.

Fifteen years ago, Roman Sinqueira painted a mural downtown.

You wrote the citation and the report, but both are illegible. What does this

say? Look, if you're so interested, give me 2K.

Fine, 1K.

No? 500?

I don't care how low you go. I'm not going to pay you for information.

Whatever thing is happening in NASCAR, 1 ,000 on numbers 10 through 19.

And that's it.

I love you, Mom.

Bye.

Read this address out loud now.

14641 Willington Street.

No such place.

There's a Washington Boulevard and a Billington Street, but neither has a

Well, there's definitely a 14641 Billington Street. Again, no such place.

Fifty bucks says there is. There isn't.

But if you want to give me your money like that, sure, I'll check it out.

Okay.

Wow.

There used to be nothing but chop shops and stash houses on this street.

Now they got a CrossFit gym. Vegan Nashville hot chicken restaurant. Third

coffee shop. It's beautiful.

Why?

This was the street, right?

I could have sworn the mural was here.

Maybe I didn't write this.

Turn around, Mellon.

14614 Billington.

Looks like a sign protected a part of that mural.

It's a cool fish tail.

That's a bird's wing.

Those are feathers, not skin.

That's a fish tail.

It's a bird's wing.

Double or nothing.

Why not?

Definitely feathers.

We have news on our victim.

What's up? We heard back from Ernest Lozano's colleagues in Mexico City.

They said he's alive and well and showing up for work every day.

Yeah.

Local police questioned Lozano about his ID showing up at the hotel of a

murdered man. He told them about a ride he took a couple years ago in L .A. On

the drive, he and the driver joked about how much they looked alike. Later that

night, he realized he lost his wallet. So our victim... Is not Ernest Lozano.

Okay, put pressure on the lab for DNA and fingerprints from the crime scene

I'll look more closely at... Where's the evidence box?

Working from home. See you tomorrow.

Morgan.

Molly.

This is the best movie night ever.

All right, the trick is to see if we can notice things other people can't.

What do you think these keys go to?

Bike lock, PO box, and car keys.

You are my son.

Ava, can you grab us a couple of photos? I can't touch surfaces because of my

gloves.

Okay, this is interesting.

You see this stitching right here? Thank you.

Two photos.

Oh, hi.

Strange boy in my house. Who are you?

I'm Ryder, Ava's friend.

Oh, yeah?

What are you doing?

What does it look like?

Studying? I couldn't find the cookies, so I got cheese puffs.

Thank you, I love you. I bought those. These are mine. Can I stay in the

for a second?

Okay, don't freak out.

Ludo said I could have Ryder in my room as long as we shut the door if our music

got too loud.

Oh, he did.

Oh, what?

Man, what a problem solver. That's great, because my primary concern here

the decibel level of your music. No, Mom, we were just studying.

To be continued.

I assume you got my poster.

You never take evidence home, Morgan.

Ever.

You have got to be kidding me.

What?

He's wearing gloves.

You're upset, and you're allowed to have all your feelings, but people bring

their work home all the time.

My daughter's in her room working on homework right now.

Elliot, go bug your sister. Quick, run. Keep the door open.

Ava, I'm coming to bug you!

Morgan, this goes against all rules and all protocol for handling evidence.

Well, what's the worst that could happen?

Um, you know, I don't know. Let me think.

Oh, right, everything in here becomes inadmissible in court and we can't

the murderer.

Yeah, that's bad.

That'd be bad. And I get that.

I did think about that, but here's the thing. I really want to help you figure

out who your dead guy is.

Silly me. I was going to use dental records and fingerprints.

There's so many clues in this evidence box that you guys missed.

Did anybody even look at the shoes?

There's some meds all over the floor.

He must have lived or worked near a construction site. Oh, great.

We'll just visit the one construction site in Los Angeles.

Okay.

Look at the man's pants.

This is not the original stitching.

This repair was done by a professional.

See the threads?

What about them? They don't cross.

You don't find that the tiniest bit strange?

Um, I can say with full confidence I have never in my life thought about how

threads cross on a pant hem. Well, lucky for you, I've spent a lot of time

thinking about it. The whole hyperactive brain thing makes it hard to fall

asleep. For a long time, the only thing that would put me down was watching

sewing and alterations videos.

Now, the victim's pants were repaired without crossing. That is something that

is unique to tailors from Madagascar, because they have a superstition that

crossing your stitches is unlucky.

Oh, you know what? Just make a list of all of the tailors from Madagascar in

area. I don't think the LAPD has a magical database of seamstresses and

crossed reference by ethnicity, but I can check.

Well, all you need to do is find all of the tailor and alteration shops in L .A.

and find the ones with the longest names.

Because long names are uniquely Madagascan?

No, but their naming customs are unlike anywhere else in the world.

All of their names are unique, and every name has meaning. And when two people

get married, they just smash their names together into one big giant long name.

It's super romantic.

Okay, so, compile a list of tailors in Los Angeles, find the ones with the

longest names, and then look for one by a construction site.

Easy peasy, lemon squeezy.

Yeah, okay. Well, we'll get into that tomorrow.

Okay. And Morgan, don't ever use that phrase again.

Probably will.

So Ryder seems nice.

Connie, so does P .O. said.

Parole officer, yeah, I get it.

Because he was in juvie.

Chino, he was tried as an adult.

You, you are so, so funny.

But seriously, tell me all about him. I want to know.

I gotta go or I'll be late. Put your phone away. I guess we're doing this the

hard way.

Do you mean for that to run? I will be asking the questions, okay?

Tell me about Ryder. All we were doing was studying.

It always starts with studying, and then you're lying about where you were, and

the next thing you know, you're a single mom with three kids pretending to be a

cop.

I am not pretending, thank you very much. I am consulting.

Oh, yeah, I know. You don't even have a badge.

You think I need a badge?

Okay.

I will have you know, I walk into a space, and people are like, who is this?

Okay, and then the other people are like, I don't know, but she definitely

belongs here. Okay, Mom, this is cringe. I gotta go.

Take away. they all yell.

You know, give that lady accent.

When can I get a badge?

Please, stop ringing the bell. Okay.

How old were you when you started dating?

I bet you were that guy who dated the same girl all four years of high school

and then on prom night you made a pact to lose your... Hello.

Are you Raisa Rikota Harimalala?

Indeed. You may call me Rai.

Right. Real quick, do you recognize this man?

Mr. Eduardo.

Is he dead?

Eduardo was his last name?

No. Eduardo was his first name. Yes.

Do you know his last name? No. Mr. Eduardo, he always pays in cash.

Can you tell us anything about him?

Mr. Eduardo is one of my regulars. He finds these Anna suits secondhand. I

them look nice again.

Oh, I'm thrilled. You do realize there could be thousands of Eduardo's in Los

Angeles, though, right? Sweet.

Did you hear that?

Sweet, sweet sounds of the city.

Okay, tailor shop, construction site, now what?

Now we just gotta find a parking lot.

Cool.

Yep, right here.

Why do we care about parking?

Don't get mad at me.

Of course, you brought his keys. Well, it's still in the evidence bag, and it's

a good thing I did.

Because...

Eduardo's Toyota.

Next time.

Forrester, what do you need?

Hey, Daph, I just sent you the plates on our victim's vehicle. Do your thing.

Probably the car Ernest Lozano lost his wallet in.

And I will have to call you back. Bye. Morgan, Morgan, no, no, no.

Don't, don't.

Gloves. Sorry, gloves.

No, it's not the gloves. I mean, actually, yes, you do need gloves, but

you touch anything, just ask me first, okay? No, you're totally right. I

apologize. You've said that before.

Won't happen again. Except I did already touch everything.

He's got suits, charging cables, little waters, hands... You guys are rideshare

driving. Yes!

How'd you do that so fast?

Easy peasy, lemon squeezy.

Daphne says the car is registered to an Eduardo Cortez who lives in this

building. Ten years ago, the guy did time in prison for credit card fraud.

Since then, he's been a rideshare driver.

Pretty fancy building for a driver. Are we sure this is our guy?

Eduardo Cortez's driver's license.

Yeah, that's him. How do you have a hot driver's license photo?

260, and this should be the place.

Morgan, what did I tell you? I'm just kidding.

You're fun.

You're a lot of fun.

Daddy! Daddy! Hello?

Can I help you?

Sorry to intrude, ma 'am. I'm L .A. B .D. Detective Adam Karadack. This is

consultant Morgan Guillory.

Do you happen to know Eduardo Cortez?

He's my husband.

Is he okay?

Cheers.

I let my cool down. It's been too hot.

Thank you guys for sharing your tea with me. Your friends are all really nice.

Do you have a favorite friend?

I won't tell the crowd.

Stanley. He can take photos, too.

Stanley can take photos?

No way.

Let me see this.

So cool.

My daddy gave him to me. He also gave me that dictionary.

Oh.

Words are important.

We've been together for 10 years.

I met Eduardo after he was released from prison.

How long had he been driving? He used to drive up until three years ago when he

started at his cousin's wine distribution business.

Was it strange that he hadn't come home?

His job required quite a bit of travel, so Eduardo being away felt normal.

I can't believe he's gone.

Do you recognize this woman?

I don't. Who is she?

I'm sorry, but Eduardo was not traveling for work.

We found his body in a Hollywood hotel room, and he was with this woman the

night he was murdered.

What the hell was that? This woman just found out her husband died. Maybe give

it a sec before you whip out a picture of his mistress. If Regina knew about

Eduardo's infidelity, she had strong motive to kill him, Morgan. I needed to

her unvarnished reaction.

Oh, that's good. Don't think about that.

Seems like there's a lot about this job you don't think about. You know, like

taking evidence home with you. You know, every once in a while, I start to get

tricked into thinking that maybe you're a normal person, and then sure enough,

you remind me you're just a heartless police robot.

Why would Eduardo use a fake ID?

Why would someone change their entire identity just to cheat on their wife?

It doesn't add up.

Finances don't really add up either.

Sweet apartment, the car, altering the suits to make them look expensive.

Well, go home, get rest, and do not take evidence with you.

It's a pretty normal day.

Ava with glued to her phone.

Elliot worked on his geography project.

Chloe ate a crayon, but it was a green one, so I feel it was the most natural

and least toxic.

Did Chloe have a guest?

Chloe the baby did not have a guest.

She didn't have any floppy -haired teenage boys swing by?

I knew this was coming. Look, Ryder seems like a nice kid. I think it's

It's not fine. We both knew that she was going to have friends over sooner or

later. Ava's 15.

What were you doing when you were 15?

Lifting. Hanging with my boys.

I'm kidding. I didn't lift or have boys. But Ava's different. I know Ava's

different. But teenage boys are all the same. Well, we're both trying to figure

it out, okay? I think we just need to trust Ava. So let's calm down and...

tell me to calm down. You overstepped.

In a major way. Okay, you're on one of your famous Morgan rants, so I'm going

give you a little space. I am not on a Morgan rant. I am doing what's best for

my kid. Ava is my daughter.

Right.

I'm just the mani.

That's not what I said.

That's not what I meant. Can you please come back here so we can... Okay.

The water's left just doesn't add up.

I'm late. I'm sorry. Sorry I'm late. It was a crazy kid morning, but who cares

about that? Who cares about kids?

I've got donuts. Hell yeah. I love it when you're late.

So many options.

Can't go wrong with glaze, right?

Never. Nope.

No, maybe it's a sprinkle. Might be a sprinkle stick. Yeah, I don't know. Just

pick a damn donut.

Okay. Medical examiner's report just came in.

Eduardo Cortez's cause of death is drowning with trace amounts of alcohol

whistle. He looks sober on the CCTV footage when he's walking with Iris.

Bartender says he tagged one off.

Could have been all the panic the lab found in his system. They also found

residue on the glassware. Well, Xanax's main side effect was severe drowsiness

and dizziness.

Still, no one other than Dr. Bowman used a keycard to enter the room that night.

But the cams prove that she isn't the killer.

What if the murderer entered the room in a way that didn't require a key card?

What are you talking about, Maura?

I'm talking about the murderer going into the room through the window.

The room is on the fourth floor.

You'd have to be Spider -Man.

Really, Oz?

I brought donuts.

Look, would it be easy? No. But is it doable? I think so.

Right here.

I didn't see it when I was there in person because there was a crime scene

photographer standing in front of me, but... Do you see?

What are we looking at? The window latches. See, all of those are turned to

left except for this one, which is turned to the right, which means it's

unlocked.

The murderer could have done the deed and then exited through the window, but

not been able to lock it from the outside.

Except it's on the fourth floor, Martha.

What other leads do we have?

Cortez's financials. A prelim check showed he had no debt.

Lived in a fancy apartment. Drove a beat -up car.

Yeah, he did wear old suits and doctor him up to look expensive.

All right, keep digging into his finances. Oz, check out Morgan's window

It comes finally.

The yellow light, it could have just come.

Hey, big news.

I just got back from the hotel.

The manager said it's policy for the cleaners to lock the windows when they

finish cleaning the room each morning. So if a window was unlocked, you guys

must have done it that day.

So it was left unlocked. But the question wasn't whether the window was

unlocked. Could someone get up to the window? I think someone could. Not me,

someone. Look.

There are recessed windows and a lot of ledges. And between those, crevices and

indentations. Check this out.

What is that? Powder?

Yes. It's powder. It's magnesium carbonate. That's the powder climbers

guys. Okay. Thank you.

You wanted a deep dive into Eduardo Cortez's money? I just learned he

totally more than $200 ,000 in the past year from a woman named Brenda Walker.

Her address.

This is it.

I feel like an assisted living community isn't exactly a hotbed for criminal

activity.

LAPD, is this Glenda Walker's room?

Uh, yeah.

Can we ask her some questions?

You can try.

Glenda, do you know Eduardo Cortez?

Sorry, I don't. Should I?

What about Ernest Lozano?

Oh, yes.

Ernest is my fiancé.

We made plans to fly to Mexico City. He's picking me up any minute now.

Oh.

Can I ask why you gave him $200 ,000?

She what?

Her mom?

Is that true?

It's for our home in Mexico City.

I gave Ernest my half and he's taking care of everything.

It has a lovely guest room just for Kyle.

Kyle, you mind if we speak in private?

Yeah.

How long has she been like this?

My mom got diagnosed almost a year ago.

It's getting worse.

Doctors say it's dementia.

Yeah. Did you ever meet this Ernest?

No. No, I was living up north when they first met.

So, my mom got sick.

Stopped hearing from the guy.

to have to establish some boundaries because Karadek was just here the other

night. I have a Roman question.

So this.

Roman's work.

Bird's wing or fishtail? Please tell me it's a bird's wing. I got 50 bucks on

it. It's a bird's wing. Yes.

It's a phoenix, actually. Do you want to see the whole thing?

I would, in fact.

Is this relevant to anything other than your bet?

A month before he went missing, Roman was cited for painting a mural in an

unauthorized location.

Back then, the area was a hotbed for criminal activity.

Well, Roman wasn't a criminal. Well, then I'm wondering if he saw something

the area he shouldn't have.

I don't know. He didn't say anything about it. I'm sure he would have.

Oh, wow.

Isn't that cool?

It really is.

Keep it.

Keep all of them. It might be useful.

Great. Do you want a cookie?

I'm not sure if that's a serious question or not. But if it is, yeah. I

joke around about cookie.

I'm not concerned about your bowels. I just hide the good stuff where the kids

will never look.

You are a genius.

Had I known this when I was raising my kids, my books would have been full of

cookies.

I bet you could fit a lot of cookies in a dictionary.

Thank you for letting me look at your daddy's gifts.

How much is in there?

Ballpark, 50 grand.

What did Eduardo get this money?

Working theory, he was seducing vulnerable women and scamming them out

money. Take it away.

Give it back to those women.

Want to see my Stanley photos?

I sure do want to see your Stanley photos.

Oh, cute.

That's my daddy.

Sage's stool.

Thank you.

Your drink's on the way. Dirty vodka martini on the rocks.

Weird drink for my weird guy.

Yeah, well, martini glasses are what's weird.

It's a poorly designed barware, terrible for people with large hands. And how

did you guess my drink? Well, I've been cleaning up in major crimes for months.

I know you better than you know yourself.

Oh, you do? I do. Okay.

Well, tell me about myself, then. You fill your car up every two weeks at the

same spot next to Union Station.

You love yourself a French dip from Philips. You avoid the 405 at all costs.

your favorite donut is not a donut.

It's an apple fritter.

So where was my fritter earlier?

I haven't decided if I like you yet.

What was so important that we couldn't talk about it on the phone?

Yes.

So we know that Eduardo was conning rich, vulnerable women to get their

And who?

Meets a lot of rich, vulnerable women.

A hotel bartender?

Mm -hmm.

Hey!

Whoa,

what are you doing? I'm not going back to prison.

Put the gun down.

Morgan!

Why didn't you tell me what I was walking into?

Well, I didn't know all that was going to happen. I could have gotten stabbed.

Okay, well, I think you're overreacting just a teeny bit. No, I am not

overreacting. We both could have been seriously hurt. Okay, but we didn't,

right? And how about a little... little bit of gratitude. Oh, gratitude.

Gratitude. Gratitude for what? I gave you a break in the case. Oh, thank you,

Morgan, for giving me a break in the case in the most idiotic way possible.

How can someone as smart as you are do so many stupid things?

Why does everyone feel like they have the right to just call me stupid?

You know what? I don't have to take this. I don't need this job that bad.

This job does not need you. Perfect. I quit.

There's no way Horton quit. I heard she stormed off to the hotel.

Daphne, meet me in interrogation. Oz, get started on the paperwork.

Salt, battery, extortion, buying and selling of stolen goods. And Eduardo

Cortez's murder.

We know you guys shared a cell in prison.

What was your relationship like with Eduardo after being released?

Look, you pulled a knife on a cop.

You want to minimize your jail time, this is your chance.

When I got out, I was doing okay bartending.

But I knew that Eduardo was struggling.

He helped me on the inside, so I felt like I owed him.

When I started at the hotel, he came up with the plan. To exploit vulnerable

women. I only gave him possible marks. After that, whatever Eduardo did with

these women is on him.

But you got to find his face.

Sure, but I had nothing to do with his death. Why would I want Eduardo killed?

He was my goose.

I laid golden eggs.

Prado admitted to running a con with our victim, but he lawyered up.

Any other leads?

Yeah, a few.

I'll chase them down.

Oh, uh, one more thing.

Morgan quit.

She didn't quit.

No, she made it pretty clear.

I chewed her out after the hotel incident, and she stormed off yelling

didn't need the job.

She'll be back.

She needs this.

You quit?

Well, he was yelling, I was yelling. I don't know why he felt attacked.

He really liked that job.

Liked? I loved that job.

It was a sweet gig, and they paid me for child care.

So wait, why did you call me all the way over here if you didn't need a mani?

I just wanted to tell you in person that I'm really sorry about what I said to

you the other night.

You were the closest thing Ava has to a father, and we're all really lucky to

have you in our lives.

Now, if you can just apologize like that to the LAPD, I'm pretty sure you could

get that sweet job back.

LAPD, you're bossy. You know how I feel about authority.

I do know.

Hot dog on a stick, H &R Block, Magic Castle.

Kaiser Permanente Sunset, Kaiser Permanente Culver City, Kaiser

get it. I quit a lot.

Well, we'll figure it out.

Although I do think I should tell you, yesterday at pickup, I heard Elliot

bragging to his classmates about his mom being a detective.

I've never heard Elliot boasting about his driving instructor dad or his

cleaning lady mom, have you?

Well, we gotta tell him to stop bragging about his mom being a cop. Everyone's

gonna think he's a narc.

Thanks for the apology.

Bye.

How does the lawyer make it clear there's no confession coming? Yeah, it's

He's not our guy.

Couldn't have been in the hotel room at the time of death. Staff confirmed his

alibi, and we're getting security footage from the downstairs bar. And his

nails.

I told you.

Hey. I know which one I want.

Can we please get back to the case?

Yes. As I was saying, his fingernails. What about him? The victim wasn't

scratched to death, Morgan. No, he was not. But in order to climb the exterior

of a hotel and get into the fourth floor window, the murderer would have to have

short nails. The bartender had long flamenco guitar nails. But you know who

short nails? I do.

Me too. We all have short nails, so what? We're all murderers. What's your

point, Morgan? This question is for Karadek.

Do you know who has short fingernails?

Members of the Long Beach Climbing Club.

Kyle.

Explain. Kyle the climber. He could easily get up in that window.

He snuck up on Eduardo. He forced him underwater.

Kyle wanted revenge for his mother. Daphne Osgo arrest Kyle Walker. Get him

here ASAP.

Excellent work, Morgan.

Detective, get the confession and close it up.

I thought you quit.

Oh, I did.

But you need me, admit it.

Good work, Morgan.

Thank you.

You couldn't have done it alone.

What'd you say?

I said you couldn't have done it alone.

Kyle.

Kyle couldn't have done it alone. He doesn't appear on any of the CCTV

He had an accomplice.

Someone who drugged Eduardo's drink. Someone who unlatched the window.

who was already inside the room that night.

explained the nature of our relationship.

Sure, but you left out the part where you gave Eduardo $390 ,000.

We know he lied to you.

We know he took your money.

What we want to know is how did you meet Kyle Walker?

So, Kyle, how did you come into contact with Dr. Iris Bowen?

met Kyle at the hotel?

I started staking out the place where I knew she met this new guy.

And that's where you met Iris?

She was with him.

I just wanted to ruin his scam, so I tried to warn her, but it was too late.

I'd already given him so much.

I was humiliated. I was furious.

But Kyle wanted revenge. He came up with a plan to kill him. It was Iris.

She wanted revenge.

The police can't help us. You could have taken this to the authorities.

We could have helped you.

Help? No one could help me. One day I was married to the love of my life, and

the next day he was gone.

I spent six months convinced I'd never be whole again, let alone love again.

And then in a hotel bar of all places, I met Ernest.

He brought light back into my life.

And in return, I gave him everything.

He said my money was going to our vacation house in Mexico City.

So, once Kyle told me about the scam, I just... decided to

take back what was mine.

See, that's the thing, Kyle. It doesn't matter who came up with what. You're

both complicit.

Can I ask you guys something?

What kind of man takes advantage of a woman whose memory is so far gone that

doesn't even know who or where she is?

Who targets a mother whose memory is so eroded that she doesn't even remember

her son?

Come on, Kyle.

It's time to go.

Wait, wait, wait, wait.

Before you lock me up or whatever you're going to do, I need to say goodbye to

my mom.

I'm in Colorado now.

You got the job.

You're looking at Rocky Mountain Park's newest employee.

Oh, that is fantastic, sweetie. You always wanted to move there.

I'm not going to be able to stop by anymore.

But I'm going to call you. Okay, I'm going to check in.

Will you promise me that you're going to keep up with your physical?

Don't worry too much about me. You always have.

I'll be okay.

Yeah, I love you, Mom.

I'm just a regular police robot.

Well, I'll see you tomorrow.
