All language subtitles for High Potential 02x01 Pawns [2025-09-16 22-00] uswabc HQ

You guys made a mistake. I fixed them.
Let's not make a big deal out of this.

What mistakes did you see?

I have a compulsion to put things right.
If I see a mistake, I need to correct

it. Ta -da! I have an IQ of 160.

The technical term is high potential
intellectual.

It means you have advanced cognitive
abilities.

Come do this full time. We need you. Do
you know this woman? I'm his partner.

We're not partners. She's actually just
a consultant.

When you and I split up, we agreed we're
going to remain a family no matter

what. Ludo thinks of you as his
daughter. It's not the same. Your father

you. That's why he left. I need you to
find someone.

Roman Stinkera. He vanished 15 years
ago.

You've got a deal.

You made this for your dad? If we find
him. It turns out Roman was working as

FBI informant.

Two hours to make your move.

Sounds like some kind of game the
kidnapper wants us to play by their

They're watching us.

I'll have to answer his phone.

I got him.

The kidnapper is really toying with me.

Making a run for it. I don't take this
for you. Thank you. Ava and I are toiled

for this game and Chloe's going to need
a couple more years.

Morgan, I know where he is.

Roman, he's alive.

bedtime stories, you got off easy.

Thank you so much for babysitting. I
really needed tonight.

Of course. May I have you on my way
home? Yeah, I'm on my way. Okay,

Will do.

Love you guys. Love you.

Let's play.

We have 34 minutes to make our move. Fun
has just begun.

They made me play games. There ain't no
white anime mess.

And they're watching us. Whoever's
playing games with us, it isn't David

there. Well, then who the hell is this
guy?

Mom,

help! Help me!

What? What is it? No one can help you.

He's cheating.

My pillow is my rule. Stop, okay?

First of all, it's a pillow fight.

There's no way to cheat. Second of all,
they are not your pillows.

No, you!

All right, she lulled me into a false
intention.

Hello, I'm trying to read my baby sister
to sleep.

Oh. Okay, I'll do it. You know, maybe if
you weren't stuck in this house for

like a week, you wouldn't be acting like
animals.

Wild animals, I can't.

Your boss is here.

Oh.

Perfect timing. You're sleepy now,
right? Go to bed. Okay. Do you mind?

Thank you. I got him. I got him.

So, how are we holding up?

Not great.

Pretty terrible, actually.

I don't know what's worse, being stalked
by a deranged psychopath or having to

lie to my kids about it.

There's no need to scare them. We're
going to catch this guy soon.

Everything will be back to normal.

I hope so. It's only a matter of time
before they realize Pluto's not crashing

on the couch because of a palm weevil
infestation.

They're native to his neighborhood. I
figured Elliot would check. He did.

Do you have anything else for me besides
this homework?

I wish I had more of an update on Roman.

We're pretty confident Gio's contact had
good intel. He's staying somewhere in

Henderson, Nevada.

We've got the force out there helping us
get closer.

Do you have an address?

Not yet, but we'll get one.

We'll figure it out.

How's he doing?

Care to ask?

He's ready to have you back.

We all are.

Whoa, whoa.

Dad, where you going?

I got plans.

Really? At this hour?

Settle yourselves.

It's just a friend.

And you guys need to get out of here,
too. We can't be pulling back -to -back

all night. Yeah, you know what? She's
right.

Go home.

Why? It's not like I'm going to sleep
anyway.

Not until we catch the bastard.

Well, I appreciate the sentiment, but
burning yourself out is not going to

the cause.

Yeah? What about you?

I'll be right behind you.

You're a terrible liar. Yeah, that
wasn't great.

Later, guys.

See ya.

Okay.

Hey, why are you calling me so late?

There's my grumpy guy.

Nice to hear your voice, too.

Why are you working so late?

How do you know I'm working?

Well, you answered your phone at 2 a .m.
and you don't have a social life.

Yeah, you know, this guy went after one
of our own.

He got close to you, he got close to
your kids, so it's been impossible for

of us to slow down.

Really thought we would have found him
by now, especially with his sketch all

over the news.

Yeah, so did I.

You know, it's very detailed.

Yes, it's very detailed. I worked really
hard on that with two different

artists. No, the nose is too aquiline.

The zygomatics are just bananas. What
are you doing? Oh, I thought I said a

slight cleft and just a little dimple,
but apparently I said John Travolta and

don't remember it. Clear the whole
thing.

God, I just haven't learned how to draw.

I don't like this feeling, Carraduck. It
sucks. I hate it. Yeah, I do too.

Yeah.

Get yourself some sleep.

You too.

Morning, Chester.

Hey, what you got there?

Well, nothing says thanks for looking
after my family like an open box of

shortbread cookies.

I would have brought you what I made
Chloe for breakfast, but it was

Well, Lieutenant Soto didn't mention
that the family would have perks, so

you.

A quiet night?

Yeah, yeah. All good.

Are you all dressed up? Where are you
going?

Just got to go run some errands.

I'll see you later.

All right.

Nobody came by?

No, just the usual.

Babies, dogs, you know.

What?

Wrong address.

Everything all right, Morgan? Yeah, I'm
just going to go around the corner for a

sec. You want me to call for a police
escort? That's okay. No, I'll be quick.

Keep an eye on the house.

Why is no one picking up their phones?
I've been texting like a maniac.

You guys, it's the game maker.

He sent me this piece of mail so that I
would walk by a very specific house.

I know it was him.

Do you have any idea how rare it is for
the U .S. Postal Service to deliver mail

to the wrong address?

Between optical character recognition,
barcode scans, and the Zip Plus 4 code

system?

It's super rare, and he knows that I
know that. And he also knows that the

street next to mine is a cul -de -sac.

I would have to walk past that house to
get to this address.

I know it was him.

Good morning, Morgan. Welcome back.

I blasted in? A little bit.

It's too much.

Sorry.

Good morning, Daphne.

Oz, it's really nice to see you back at
work.

You too.

You doing okay?

Yeah. Me neither.

And yes, Morgan, we did get all of your
texts.

And two voice notes.

Which were kind of hard to hear because
it sounded like you were running. Yeah.

What am I getting, tiptoe or mosey?

Of course I'm running. It's important.
Have that dusted for prints, please.

What else is in this bag?

Probably feeding crackers or something.
I don't know. Don't make a big deal out

of it. Also, that bag looks like it can
be used many more times. Give it back to

me when they're done.

Okay, so do we really think that this
could be the game maker? Not sure.

I am sure. Are you? Because last week
there were a few other cases where you

were pretty confident. I understand.
Okay, I jumped the gun a couple of

but you guys think about it. The song...

The lion sleeps tonight, paired with the
jungle animal match game that he

slipped into my grocery bag next to my
children. It is him.

What do we have so far? No, we're still
gathering information, starting with the

person who lives at that address.

Just one name on the leaf. Maya Price.
We left word for her this morning.

Hopefully we'll hear back soon and she's
okay.

Maya Price is my sister.

We can't find her.

1522 Wells Avenue?

Where's Mommy?

I was babysitting Mac last night, and I
went to my place this morning when she

didn't show to pick him up. The front
door was open.

I just knew something was wrong.

But how did you guys find out that she's
missing?

Our consultant, Morgan, happened to be
walking by.

I live one street over.

Really? Yeah.

It's a weird coincidence.

Sarah, take us through everything from
last night.

Okay, Maya got some free tickets to see
a show at Sound Nightclub. Any idea who

she was with?

A friend from work, I think.

Yeah, she sent me a photo.

Where do they work?

AGM, Art Fogaro Music.

She also works part -time at Costco to
make ends meet.

Sarah, any chance that Maya may have had
too much to drink, ended up crashing at

someone else's place last night?

No, she doesn't drink. She's the most
responsible person I know.

Sorry, I'm so scared that something
happened to her, and I'm...

What's the situation with Max's father?

Derek, he's... He's a good guy. He just
has bad habits.

He struggled to hold down a job. It got
kind of messy.

Messy? Huh?

Custody issues.

They have a court date set next week.

Sarah, do you recognize this man?

He's connected to another case that
we're working in. And that's all we have

right now.

I'd remember if I'd seen him before. I
don't want her to say this.

Sarah, as soon as we have some answers,
we'll be in touch.

Maya's in my club days.

That's the list of things Maya and I
have in common.

Now, if the doorman at the club said he
saw Maya leave alone around 9 .30 p .m.

last night, then the question becomes,
where did she go?

This parking lot.

She hadn't been out in forever. She's
not going to drive around looking for a

meter. It's less proximity, you know.
Believe it or not, we don't love using

pepper spray. Fair enough.

Well, Maya drove a silver Honda Accord.

If it's not here, I'll have Daphne put
out a bolo on the car.

I don't know, Morgan. This is just way
too exposed. It's unlikely she was

abducted here. There had to be a second
location.

Nope. This is the spot.

Those busted streetlights provided the
perfect darkness for him to hide in.

You see this?

This is a little heel cap from her shoe.

A shoe, not necessarily Maya's. I'm just
going to keep going.

This is where he attacked her.

She fought back. She got away by using
her purse as a weapon.

Got lip balm, candy.

These little glass fragments that smell
like orange blossom must have been from

a perfume sample from a department
store.

I'm familiar.

Then she ran.

It was a Friday night. There had to be a
guard in that booth over there.

She needed help.

But she didn't get it.

So then her heels must have left these
marks, presumably as he was dragging her

to his vehicle.

Yeah, or hers.

Which means she would have been parked
in the spot right here.

Karadek, look.

There's two lines of heel marks, and
then it just turns into one.

So at a certain point, only one heel is
dragging leading to a mark. That means

she lost a shoe during the struggle.

He crammed her unconscious body into the
trunk of her own car.

He was in control the whole time.

And she knew it.

I put the bolo out on Maya's car.

Good. Now alert the press. Let them know
we'll have a briefing later today and

get a photo of Maya ready to go. Done
and done. And maybe show them a picture

this guy again.

Not until we know we can tie the game
maker to her abduction. Right now, we

focus on finding Maya. I'm very focused
on finding Maya, which is why I want to

focus on the man who abducted her. I
think she's right. There are too many

coincidences. Prints are in on Morgan's
mail.

And? Yours and the postman's. Looks like
Maya pulled the permit for a weapon a

few months back.

Rejection from her husband?

Let's find out. I want Derek in here for
questioning Stan.

And we're clear to search Maya's place.

Let's get over there. Clock is ticking.

You know, this record doesn't fit the
rest of her collection.

Take it with us. Check it for prints.

Locks are new.

Probably installed in the last month or
so.

Okay, so it certainly appeared like Maya
purchased the gun. There was a record

of steal from two weeks ago, but I can't
find a weapon anywhere.

All right, Daph, we'll keep looking, all
right? Okay.

Karadek? Yeah. Look at this.

Prada, Gucci, Versace.

That's thousands of dollars of stuff
Maya can't afford.

Gifts from someone.

Yeah, but they're all missing.

Maybe they were stolen.

Yes, Morgan?

I'm pretty sure those expensive items
weren't stolen.

They were sold. Let's go.

Go where?

The boneyard.

The boneyard?

Yes, of course. Why wouldn't we be going
to the boneyard?

You guys check out Maya's work. Artful
gallant music. Call me with anything.

Pretty.

Good to see you.

Hey, it is too late to buy back your
mixer, Morgan. It's long gone. No, I

want the mixer. I also have a job now
that allows me to keep my appliances.

We're here on official police business,
Fritzie.

You're a cop?

No, but they do sign my paychecks. This
woman is missing.

And I know she recently got rid of some
pretty pricey designer stuff.

So?

So I'd like them, please.

She could have sold that stuff anywhere.

But she also picked up an electronic
piano for her kid. What, I have a

on electronic kiddie pianos?

Chrissy, there was a sticky spot on the
side of it in the shape of a dog bone.

You sell people stuff, and then you take
off the price tag, but you never remove

the goo.

Paying me has to get off. I know.

Okay, fine, all right. But I did a good
deal by that lady.

But I can't be handing over $1 ,000 of
goods to you.

It's hard enough to keep the license as
it is these days.

The LAPD will put it on their tab. There
is no tab on it.

The LAPD will reimburse you from the
city's slush fund. Not a thing.

Fritzie, why don't you just turn over
the items?

Otherwise, I'm going to have to fast
-track a warrant for a more invasive

of this place, and who knows what kind
of illicit goods we'll find in here.

are you doing?

It's too much. You trying to feel big?

He's trying to feel big. This guy's
trying to keep his lights on. Fritzie, I

so sorry.

I'll tell you what. You let me borrow
the stuff, and I promise to give it back

to you as soon as we're done with it.

Fine. Yeah?

All right. Well, thank you, sir.

And if what you're saying about that
lady is true, you might want to talk to

fella she was arguing with out in my
parking lot.

Did you get a look at him?

No.

But my cameras did.

Derek, the reason why we brought you in
here today is because Maya's been

missing since last night.

She was abducted from a car lot in
Hollywood.

I had no idea.

What about Max? Is Max okay? Max is
fine.

He's with Sarah.

And you would have known sooner, but we
couldn't find you.

Well, I was having a few drinks at a bar
in NoHo.

Okay, I had more than a few drinks. I
was upset.

I haven't seen my kid much lately.

Looks like things got pretty heated
between you two outside the boneyard.

Look, she'd been dodging my calls.

I admit it was a mistake to follow a
gift.

She'd been getting expensive gifts from
someone.

And I got jealous. I admit that.

Okay?

Look, I would never hurt her.

Did you know that Maya recently
purchased a firearm, Derek?

I mean, why might she do that?

What? No.

Maya hates guns.

He didn't do it. We're wasting time.

Maybe he did, maybe he didn't.

Maybe he knows something we don't.

What happened to your hand?

Honestly, I don't know.

I can't remember. I made it back to my
buddy's place and then I passed out.

Maya is my whole world.

Love of my life.

Can I miss my son?

I've made mistakes, yes, but I would
never.

You have to find her.

We're digging into Derek's alibi.

Okay. Oz and Daphne came back with
someone I think you're going to want to

to.

Barry Gibb?

The woman that Maya was with at the
club.

We had a blast.

It was obvious she needed a night to
herself.

Custody battle was stressing her out,
and she was freaking out over how

expensive lawyers can be.

Your boss, Jason Howard, correct?

We'd like to talk to him, but he's been
hard to locate.

That doesn't surprise me.

He not put his way into the CEO position
years ago, and he has the work ethic to

prove it.

He's more likely to be on a scouting
trip to Italy or one of his vacation

than to be at the office.

Hmm, gross.

Was Maya seeing anyone?

Maybe somebody who could afford designer
stuff?

She told me about the gifts.

I have my suspicions on who sent them,
but she wouldn't confirm it.

You think Jason was sending her those
gifts?

I'm pretty sure the only reason he comes
to AGM at all is to see her.

He gave us those tickets to the club.

Told Maya she deserved to let go for a
night.

I mean, do you think maybe... No.

Hell no.

Maya would never.

She felt weird about taking the tickets
in the first place.

But it was Gaga night.

And peer pressure.

Am I a bad friend?

You're here, aren't you?

You know, you kind of look like her.

Hey, Daphne, what else we got on Jason?
Half a dozen sexual harassment

complaints over the last five years.
Looks like they all settled out of

Sounds like he's paying people to be
quiet. No, not people.

Women.

Morgan, where are you going? Get the
mayor.

I've got a record player.

Let's call your favorite judge. We need
a search warrant for any and all

residences linked to Jason Howard. Okay,
I know you guys aren't 100 % sold on my

game -maker theory yet, but hopefully
this should clear things up.

I'm guessing this is what the inside of
your mind looks like. Oh, buddy, not

even close. Okay, you ready?

Jason Howard is a diabetic.

Just like Spencer, as a matter of fact,
he is on the board of a research

initiative at County General, meaning he
would know exactly how long a person

could be without insulin. He's also a
painter.

These are his original works. Kind of
reminds you of the ones that we found

hanging in the gallery.

Guys, turns out a trust fund and a work
aversion gives you a lot of free time

for hobbies because he's also...

A certified scuba instructor.

I mean, half the guy's Instagram
pictures are of him in exotic locations,

know, teaching impressionable young
women in wetsuits all about the secrets

the abyss.

You ready for the big finish? I have to
admit, this is pretty fun.

Jason and the Game Maker are one and the
same.

No, no, it's a trap.

Guys, I just went into the war room. It
took me like five minutes to get all

this stuff off the internet.

He's trying to get us to focus over here
so we can keep slithering around over

there. It's just too easy.

This is what I think. The Game Maker is
trying to frame Jason to be a part of

whatever game it is he's currently
playing.

Or...

It's Jason. It's always been Jason. And
your guy is just a good Samaritan who

helped save the frozen turkey. Okay,
then how did that card game get into my

groceries? Well, whoever's doing this
has pulled off more complicated tricks

than that. Look, we're just saying,
isn't it possible?

Sometimes the easiest answer is the
right one. I don't care if it's

This is what's happening.

You still have to follow protocol.

I want to be on your side here, Morgan.
But why would he go to so much trouble

to frame this particular guy?

Gosh, Oz, I'm not sure. Let's find him
and ask him. All right, enough.

For now, we keep all investigative paths
wide open until the facts tell us

otherwise.

Go be with your kids. Keep your phone
closed.

The stress is getting to her. She's not
a cop.

She certainly didn't sign up for this.
Selena, stop.

Adam, she said no.

Said no to what? The job.

When I offered it to her, I pushed her
into it. I promised to help her with the

Roman days that she came on as a
consultant.

Why are you telling me this now?

Because I put her in this position. No,
you gave her an opportunity.

You did the right thing by bringing her
on. We need her.

If she goes rogue and something happens,
maybe I just take her off the case.

You trust me?

You know I do. Okay.

Well, I trust her.

Would you like me to take over? Now that
all the work is done, that's when I

really shine.

It's okay. I'm good.

Are you?

It's Roman.

I think they're getting pretty close to
finding him. What happens if they find

him? What happens if they don't find
him?

I just really want this for Ava.

I'll eat later, if that's cool. Wait,
where are you going?

Keisha's having a few people over.

Oh, it's dinner time. You know, I'm
still a growing boy.

Okay, it'll be ready soon.

It's not a really great day for that,
because...

We're having family night tonight.

Again? We've been doing this for like a
week now. Mom, I'm not stupid. I know

something's going on.

I'll set the table.

Where are the cookies?

Uh, the cookies.

It doesn't matter because we eat our
growing food before we even think about

cookies. You know, the Ayurvedic system
believes that a small portion of dessert

sets up the digestive system for... I'll
wait. Yeah, you'll wait.

Hey, of course you're not stupid.

Yes, we need to talk, but can we do it
when we have a little bit more privacy,

please?

Yeah, thank you.

Hi, Morgan.

Hey. Did you get my text?

No.

We're going to a party? You've got to be
kidding me.

He's hosting an album release for one of
his artists.

Said he couldn't get out of it, but he's
happy to talk to us here. Let's just

take the weird win.

Weird like these masks look kind of like
the Game Makers?

Duly noted.

Is there a mask that speaks to you, or
would you like me to match one to your

aura?

I tell you what, this one right here is
yapping at me, but I think you should

match his aura.

No, that will not be necessary.

Yeah, go nuts.

Uh -huh.

Really get in there, yep.

Yeah, bingo.

Nailed it.

Thank you.

Morgan, I need you to focus. We still
have to find Jason.

I am focused, and I already found him.

It's right over there in front of that
wall on 19 -year -olds.

Detectives, thanks for showing up.

Can I get you anything?

Yeah, a quieter place to talk.

Maya's worked for me almost a year.

She schedules all my stuff, my social
and philanthropic stuff.

Is that why you bought her so many
gifts, Jason?

Gifts?

Tickets to Sound Nightclub?

Those are comps.

Just generous.

Yeah. A lot of stores on Rodeo Drive
that would agree.

Not to mention your platinum card.

I was worried that you'd find out about
that.

Now, why would you say that? Because I
didn't buy those things. Maya did.

She has access to my credit card for
work stuff, and my people noticed the

transaction of my statement last week,
and I confronted her. So you did not

her, even though she stole thousands of
dollars from you? Well, she denied it.

And I... I have a soft spot for single
moms.

It's just money.

Yeah.

Totally. Just money.

Ooh. Those are beautiful.

What are those? Tonto daggers?

Yeah. Yeah, I bought those in Seki City.
They belong to a samurai.

Are you a collector?

Me? No.

No. Those are a teeny bit outside my
price range, but I love how you've

displayed them.

Yeah, they're arranged by shogunate
periods.

They sure are.

Let's see.

Minamoto, Taira, Toto, Ashikaga, Oda,
Tokugawa.

Except one's missing. That's Takeda. Not
there.

You don't strike me as a guy who would
display an incomplete set.

Jason, I'm going to need you to think
real hard on this one.

Where were you last night around 9 .30?

I was here.

I had my chef make me a meal. I got up
and did some paperwork and then I went

bed early.

Now, if you'll excuse me, I have to get
back to my party.

Tappy boy needs me. I hope you find
Maya. I really do.

You guys can see yourselves out, right?

Yeah.

Okay.

Well, he's lying. That man doesn't work
during the day, let alone at night.

You're waiting on me to leave so you can
poke around Jason's den without a

warrant, aren't you? Yeah.

Morgan.

Don't move.

Mask off now.

Jason Howard, you're under arrest for
the kidnapping of Maya Price.

You have the right to remain silent.
Anything you say can and will be used.

Excuse me.

Hey. I saw him.

Who? Him.

I know I saw him. He was just here.
Where did he go? I don't know.

Okay, well, Morgan, we still have to
find Maya. Yeah.

Morgan.

I want your badge number and your phone
number.

Hey.

Herodotus? Hey, come here.

Where is she?

Where's Maya?

Did you kill her?

Tom, where is she?

Hey, I got your messages.

The doors and windows are locked and
Chester's on alert.

How are you holding up?

I think it's going to be a long night.

He was smiling at me. He's enjoying
this.

You guys are good?

Yeah, we're doing okay.

I think it was the right thing to do.

Telling the kids what's happening.

Are they scared?

Yes, but mostly for you.

I told them their mom's got the entire
police department looking out for her.

You're a good dad.

Thank you. I'll be homeless as they can.

Be safe.

Jason is not saying another word.

Which means we're no closer to finding
Maya.

Maybe Jason isn't telling us where Maya
is because Jason doesn't know where Maya

is.

Well, he knew where she was the night
she was taken. The gifts were bought on

his card.

Her bracelets and his pool.

The missing dagger from his wall.

Yeah, I'm not saying the evidence
doesn't point to Jason. I'm the one who

it would. Remember?

We just got to figure out why.

How dark was it at the party?

One face.

All those people.

What are you... Are you implying I
didn't see him? We know you saw him. It

just really help if one of us could see
him, too, at some point. Yeah, it sure

would help. I would love that. But only
I saw him at the party. Just me.

That's how he wanted it. It was clearly
by design.

So what is the game, Morgan?

I don't know what the game is.

Maybe the game is figuring out what the
game is. And yes, I hear how crazy that

sounds, but what else can we expect from
this guy?

Are you... Are you really suggesting
that I don't remember his face?

That man is a danger to my children.

Okay?

I'm never going to be able to forget his
face.

Long after we're done with this, long
after we get him and we put him away,

you guys move on to another case, he's
going to live up here, cemented inside

my brain, along with all of the other
things I've got to look out for to make

sure my kids are okay.

So if we could just, you know, close the
book on this whole Morgan made up an

imaginary man thing, that would be
great.

Okay, I've got something.

A salvage yard in Sun Valley just
reported Maya's car.

Go check it out.

And you call me as soon as you land on
the scene.

Lieutenant Soto.

Officer Sigmund, how are things in
Nevada?

That's right. That's right. Roman
Sinqueira.

What do you got?

The car showed up last night.

I saw your bullet when I ran the vent.

You see who brought it in?

No, sorry.

This is the... It's all yours.

Hey.

Are you okay?

I don't know. What do you think?

You know, if we pull Jason's prints off
the dagger and get him to talk, maybe we

can get to Maya.

Just because she's wounded doesn't mean
she isn't still alive, Morgan.

Morgan!

You heard?

I did.

I also heard from our friends in Nevada.

They called with an address.

Really? I think so.

I came after they called. I figured
you'd want to hop in a car.

I can drive. It's just a few hours away.

No, no, I'm not. I can't leave my kids
here with that guy still out there.

Daphne, I can go if you want. Yeah,
whatever you need, Margie. What is going

After everything we went through last
week, I filled them in, too.

Okay. Yeah, thank you. We'll call you as
soon as we have eyes on it.

Who called him?

Roman? No, Derek.

Maya's ex, the dad. He was at the police
station when we got there with Jason.

Did somebody call him and give him a
heads up that we had made an arrest?

No, Major Crimes doesn't notify victims'
families about active investigations.

But he knew we were going to be there.

He was waiting for us when we came in
with Jason, do you remember?

If we didn't tell Derek that Jason might
have killed Maya, who did?

Hello? Derek, this is the LAPD.

It's about Maya.

I wish we had better news.

It was him.

You think the game maker called Derek?

He must have wanted Derek to see Jason
getting arrested.

Why?

That's what we've got to find out.

First, I thought he sent this to me to
get my attention and leave me to Maya's

house. But what if I'm not the only
person who got this flyer in the mall?

It would be pretty easy to steal Jason's
credit card if he had a key.

He's the one who sent Maya all those
gifts and made it look like Jason did

He stole her bracelet when he abducted
her, dropped it in the pool, and then he

grabbed the weapon on the way out.

It's okay, but why do all this? Just to
frame Jason?

No. I think leading us in the wrong
direction was only part of the game.

So what's the rest?

What's his next move? Well, look at all
these gifts.

All the red ones are either Versace or
Gucci.

What do those two men have in common?
They were murdered.

They were both shot and killed.

Where's Derek?

You think Derek is his next victim?

Not exactly.

Keep going, I'm looking.

The weapon that Maya supposedly
registered for? We never found it.

Yeah, I don't think she ever bought a
gun at all. I think he wanted Derek to

think that she did.

Did you know that Maya recently
purchased a firearm?

What? The game maker knew Derek would
want revenge.

So he placed a gun in Maya's house after
we searched it.

It's possible Maya was just baiting. She
could still be alive. Yeah, it's

possible. I mean, we're still waiting on
DNA and a blood type from Maya's trunk.

Yeah, I hope so, but if she's not part
of the game anymore, he doesn't need

Look, we did everything we were supposed
to do, right? We played the game, we

played it his way. None of the other
victims died.

Maybe he's not a murderer.

Not if he got someone else to do it for
him.

So it's Jason he wants dead.

We gotta find Derek.

The game maker created a murderer.

And we put the weapon right in his hand.

This is it.

Romance in Canada?

The lab should have the blood test
results in 24 hours.

Excuse me.

Apparently you're looking for me.
