Hey, buddy.
Updates on Willa Quinn.
Still keeping a low profile since she landed in L .A. I checked with county.
tried to visit Eric Hayworth in jail two days ago. You were right to put her on
the restricted visitors list. They turned her away.
I'm sure she'd love that.
Let's put Hayworth in protective custody.
You think she'd send an inmate after him? I don't know what that woman would
Hayworth mentioned her and Roman Sinqueira's abduction. I'm sure she
silence him.
Let's not give her a chance.
What about our wiretap? Are we up yet? I put in the request for the DAs dragging
their feet, as usual.
I'll stay on him. Captain Wagner also pulled some strings and got a
detail in her hotel.
They're keeping track of who's coming and going. Nothing notable yet, but
they'll keep us posted.
Oh, in the meantime, duty calls.
Body spotted on a building in Mid -City.
You mean in a building?
No, on.
Multiple 911 calls about it dangling off the side.
I'll text you the address and have Morgan meet you there.
This building is... I don't know what this building is. Looks like somebody
dropped some spaghetti on the blueprints and kind of went with it.
Hmm. Tyler Villanueva, 24.
Extensive rap sheet.
Hmm.
Let me guess.
Vandalism.
Looks like he's been busy, huh?
Yeah. Blunt force trauma.
Vic was hit with a hard cylindrical object before he fell. Not sure what
Been dead for a few hours, so killed early this morning.
You said they found him hanging off the side of the building?
Witnesses spotted him caught on an architectural feature there.
Unis think he was two floors up when he was struck. Fell over a balcony.
Poor guy.
Ready to take a look?
Is that a cylindrical object in the head, right?
I don't think spray cans are hard enough to cause that kind of damage.
Wow, this is very... Disgusting.
No, I was going to say cool, because it's art.
Vandalism is not art, Morgan. It's a misdemeanor, and misdemeanors are not
Right. Yeah, no.
Totally right.
Misdemeanors are not cool.
You never painted over anything when you were a kid?
Right. I forgot. You weren't a kid when you were a kid.
It is hot in here, huh? No wonder Tyler tagged it night.
Well, it's an abandoned building. That means no utilities.
Can't just turn on the A .C.
We got blood over here.
Looks like the Vic was struck here, fled as a salient that way, probably
disoriented, already losing blood, hit the ledge and went over.
Sound about right?
This is the last piece Tyler was working on before he got killed. The colors
match the paint on his hand.
Defunct. Must be his tagger name.
Yeah, but check this out. This is not Tyler's.
He was ragging somebody else's work before he got killed. What's ragging?
Ragging, capping, painting over.
Roman, huh? Yeah, the L .A. graffiti scene is how he got his start as a
muralist. He said that taggers live by a code.
Does that code mean some spray paint can get you killed?
Well, if a tagger does some quick line work and somebody rags it, it's not a
deal.
But if the artist did line work and started to add some shading, and then
somebody paints over it, not cool, but also not the end of the world.
But painting over a completed piece that took time and skill, that's
a problem.
And that could get violent.
Or in this case, deadly.
Okay, well, I'll have forensics process this area and tell everybody else what
we're thinking.
Yeah, okay. I'll see you when you land.
Morgan and Keredak come back from the crime scene. The victim was a tagger,
by the name Defunct.
Sadly prophetic.
Yeah, they think the killer might be a rival artist.
You got a name of the rival? Not yet, just some graffiti they left behind.
The gang unit keeps a graffiti binder. To track activity throughout the city,
I'll put in a call.
Hello, Selena.
Catch you at a bad time.
I wonder how long Soto's going to let her sweat in there.
She look like she's sweating to you?
We're going to figure out the connection between Willa and Roman. We just don't
have the answers yet.
No, we certainly don't. So maybe we're asking the wrong questions.
Morgan, whatever you're thinking about doing, don't.
She's not under arrest. There's no reason I can't speak to her. I know that
is extremely frustrating, but you need to let Soto handle this.
Any luck on the binders?
Flagged a few that could be the tagger, but... But they're not.
You sure?
Yeah, I flipped through it.
Tiger's styles are very specific.
Letter shape, brace bead, our guy's not in there. We want to find that guy. We
need someone connected to the graffiti scene.
Taggers aren't known to help top.
I know someone who will. I already called her.
I know. I know it's hard for you to take a back seat on this. Hayworth didn't
pull her name out of nowhere. She knows what happened to Roman. You're right.
And I have a plan.
Trust me.
I hope our interrogation room isn't too unpleasant.
Our ballroom's being renovated.
A room's a room.
Phil.
What brings you to L .A.? Well, after what you told me in New York, I had to
come and clear my good name.
Is that right?
If Eric Hayworth is making accusations against me, I need to get to the bottom
of it. I need to clear it up and put it to bed.
Well, Mr. Hayworth is unavailable.
Yeah.
So I noticed.
I come with an offer.
You told me that you had an old case, a missing person, Roman
Sinqueira. Well, I have contacts, and I can help you.
Now, we both get what we want. You get Sinqueira, and I get to prove that I had
nothing to do with whatever happened to him.
See, I think that you're scared that we'll get to him first.
And then you won't be able to make sure that he's gone forever.
Trust me, Selena. You want me as a friend.
I have enough friends, thank you.
Including Eric Hayworth, who's there with you.
He's been very cooperative.
You remember that blackberry I found in Roman Sinqueira's backpack?
I told you, my techs were working on it. We pulled these messages off of it.
There's some sort of code, so we can't really read them just yet, but the days
and the times match the night that Roman disappeared, like their instructions.
See that?
So I put a call into the DA.
They're setting up a talk with me and my new friend, Eric Hayworth.
I'm pretty sure he'll help us read them.
Wow.
Now I'm invested.
So do tell me how that all goes for you.
And if you change your mind about working together, let me know.
Offer still stands.
I am free to leave, right?
This time.
What's she doing?
Wait, she's just going to let her go?
Hey, hey, we are not done here. Morgan, calm down. Don't tell me to calm down,
okay?
Morgan! Let go of me! Morgan!
This is your plan? As a matter of fact, yes.
I needed to see her face, and now I'm sure.
Willa Quinn is scared.
And with Hayworth's help, we're about to find out why.
Make anything of him?
No.
Well, Soto will get it out of Hayworth when she talks to him.
Hey, we're close.
Hmm. Hmm.
It's a fancy restaurant.
That's Lucia's favorite.
We're celebrating. She put in an offer on a house in Lafayette Park, and the
seller just accepted it.
Wow. That's a good school district.
Think she'd mind if my family moved in?
Unless she's already planning on maybe having a roommate one day.
Well, we talked about it.
What?
Okay.
You guys have been back together for, like, five minutes. Isn't that kind
rushing things a little bit i said we talked about it that's it but that
you'll be the first to know i don't need to be the first to know you might want
to notify your utility companies nicole hi
margaret it's so good to see you god it has been forever last time i saw
you you were pregnant with your daughter ava she's 16 now 16 it doesn't seem
possible tell me about it and you know what else she's an artist as well Like
her dad.
Yeah, like her dad.
Nicole Heisler, this is Detective Adam Karadek. Nice to meet you.
Nice to meet you.
Nicole is a professor of urban art, but when I met her, she went by the name
Michelangelo. I was hoping you'd forgotten that. It's a tough one to
Thank you for coming in. We wanted to see if you could help us identify a
tagger. This is what our victim was working on when he was killed.
Wait, defunct? Dead?
You knew him?
I knew his work.
He was an up -and -comer in this scene.
The piece we're actually interested in is the one that he was painting over.
Do you recognize that style?
Um, well, you see the flares and the drip marks along the side?
They're as unique as a signature.
Cyclops. Half of these are Cyclops.
And if I am remembering right, he and the funk had beef.
Ragged over each other's work before.
Do you know Cyclops' real name?
Sorry, I don't.
Well, if these are all Cyclops', I know where he works.
His paint cans are all from the same store.
Well, how do you know the guy worked there and wasn't just a customer?
Well, anyone on a budget knows that dented food cans get restocked and
a discount.
Same goes for dented spray paint cans, unless the dent is along the seam
then they could explode.
These are safe because they're empty, but these cans really should have gone
back to the wholesaler. So Cyclops didn't buy them from the store. He
intercepted them because he worked there.
What? Nothing.
Just, I'm surprised. You working with the police?
You seem happy.
I like it.
Well, you know, free coffee.
Welcome.
Hey, order yourself something.
No, I'm good.
I see the cigars and bacon haven't killed you yet.
Which one do you think will get me first?
Look, Dad, I got a job to get back to, and you don't summon me unless you need
something. So, what's up?
I've asked the city council to launch a panel to look into corruption.
You.
That's rich.
I'm considering a run for Senate, so I'll be the face of it.
Plays well with the voters.
Yeah, that makes more sense.
I've heard about this Morgan Guillory.
Consultant of yours, right?
I think she'd be perfect for it.
Full benefits, opportunity for advancement.
I'm sure we could pay her a little bit more than what LAPD's given her. Wait,
wait a second.
You want to offer her a job? Yeah. She's smart.
Problem solver.
Won't take no for an answer.
Perfect. And you know a hundred people who fit that description.
Why are you looking at someone from my squad?
That touch of nerve there, Nicky?
Come on, son.
You and I both know that she's special.
And I also know that she's not going to want to work with you.
Well. How about we let her decide that?
Present her with the opportunity.
Are you asking me to do this, or are you telling me?
You're a big boy. I'm sure you'll do what's best for everyone.
Oh, wow.
Ah, that's true.
Wow. I had to wear a Hawaiian shirt and jorts the summer I worked at Knott's
Berry Farm.
This is much worse.
Can I see a picture?
No. Got it.
Excuse me.
Hey, we're looking for someone that works here. Goes by the name Cyclops.
Do you know him?
Wait, no!
How'd they move it so fast in that stupid costume?
Stop!
You got about two feet of foam sticking out from behind that dumpster, genius.
Come on out.
Damn it.
I didn't do anything.
Yeah, well, tell that to Tyler Villanueva.
Who?
Defunct. He was killed this morning.
Someone killed Defunct?
Yeah, I didn't have anything to do with that. Really?
Your rival just so happened to get murdered while he was pinning over your
Yeah, we were rivals, but we called the truce. We were working a job together.
What kind of job?
That weird building. In case.
We were being paid to tag him.
These pictures make you pretty upset, huh, Anton?
How would you feel if someone drew on one of your parking tickets? Or whatever
you cops care about.
I can tell you we wouldn't kill anyone for it. I didn't kill the guy.
Like I said, me and Defunct had a truce because we were both hired to attack
that building.
Okay, so who hired you? I don't know.
Someone. I didn't get a name. I never met the guy.
Nothing. We're going to need more than that.
Why do you smell like an ashtray?
Oh, sorry.
I had lunch with the command.
In an ashtray?
I got nothing for you.
You took a job from an anonymous client to tag a building. Guys like me are
defunct. They're all working on online forums.
A couple months back, I saw a post offering to pay taggers to cover in
Wait. Someone posted a criminal want ad.
I thought it might be the cops.
But it said the building was abandoned, there'd be no security, and they're
paying crypto to keep both sides anonymous.
So, I DMed back. Seems like a pretty big risk.
In case you forgot, I work as a dancing hammer.
I needed the cash.
Turns out the gig was legit. I got paid.
And as far as I knew, me and Defunct were good. You mind telling us where you
were between 5 and 7 this morning?
At my girlfriend's.
And you're Belinda.
Two hours away.
Oh, and your girlfriend would never lie for you. She might.
But I'm guessing your boys at Highway Patrol wouldn't. Yeah, they pulled me
leaving there on my way to work. Ask them.
I never thought the cops would get me out of trouble.
Why would someone pay people to tag that one building? Try to cover up as much
of it as possible.
Well, it doesn't look like the owners are going to be any help. It says here
they're a Hong Kong consortium that ran out of money three years ago and haven't
been heard from since.
A consortium of them?
What are you looking for?
The architect.
It takes a lot of time and planning to design a building like that. They can't
have been thrilled at the new paint job.
Does this job ever get to you?
What do you mean? Working on major crimes, dealing with murder all day.
Yeah, I mean...
It doesn't help that I can remember absolutely everything, but I like it.
Trying to fire me again?
Oh, maybe the opposite.
City Council's starting an anti -corruption panel, and your name came
Clearly they haven't seen me help myself in the bulk food aisle.
You've been an asset here, but it sounds like a great opportunity.
Well, thank you very much, but I'm not looking for an opportunity.
Well, you should think about it. It's a nine -to -five. Okay, why are you trying
to push this job on me?
You want to get rid of me?
Of course not.
Council just asked me to pass along the offer. Okay, great. You did it. You
passed it along. Can we get back to the job that I like doing?
Thank you.
Okay, Gerald Lee.
In case it's the culmination of years of work, blah, blah, blah, blah, an
inseparable part of my soul.
Oh, come on. Well, if anybody has thoughts on that graffiti, it could be
Thanks for coming in, Mr. Lee. We assume you heard about what happened at the
encase building.
Yeah, it's awful.
I feel so guilty.
The way I first reacted.
Why? How'd you react?
My first thought wasn't about the man who was killed. I worried what would
happen to my building.
Makes sense. You poured a tremendous amount of time and energy into it.
There's nothing like it in the world.
Beams on the outside make the support structure part of the design.
That's why I named it in case.
Did you know the taggers were hired to deface the building?
You're kidding.
You didn't know. Who would...
pay someone to do that? That's what we were hoping you could tell us. I had no
idea. I mean, the building has its critics.
Some people didn't get it. Really? But if all that graffiti was some kind of
critique, joke's on them. Why that?
In case it's finally going to get finished.
Until a few weeks ago, the only people interested were developers who wanted to
tear it down for the land.
That couldn't have felt good.
You're right, it didn't.
But all that graffiti tanked the value.
Someone swooped in and bought it in a private sale. Private sale.
That means the name of the buyer is in public.
Any chance you know it?
I can try and do some digging.
Yeah, or you could just tell us.
See, I think you know who the buyers are. You just don't want us to know
they're about to finish your building. We read about how important this
is for your career, Mr. Lee.
But if that buyer had something to do with Tyler Villanueva's murder and you
protect them, that's accessory. So, unless you want to read about your grand
opening from prison.
Might want to think about coming up with that name.
This is Lattimore.
I'm Detective Karadek. Finally.
Brad, the police are here.
You're here about the graffiti.
Um, actually, yes.
Subtle. My husband called a few days ago when it happened. We thought you guys
weren't coming. My apologies. It's the first we're hearing. Definitely defunct.
Minnie was here just before he died and looking to collect.
Wait, someone died?
What's this about?
Well, this is about your friend defunct.
Who?
The guy who wants you to pay up.
The thing is, Mr. Latmore, we're here because your employer, Rabner Hughes
Industries, just bought the encase building. And you are their head of
acquisitions. Now, we were planning to ask if you'd hired Defunct and another
tagger to deface the building, but seeing this, that's definitely a yes.
And you and Defunct got into a dispute over the money. Yeah, one sec. Your
husband hasn't been telling you the truth, and the reason the police never
showed up is because he didn't call them. Go ahead. What happened?
Defunct tried to shake you down for extra, so you killed him?
I didn't kill anyone.
Ravner Hughes wanted in case and if I didn't deliver I was out but the owner
wouldn't budge on the price So you hired the taggers hoping their graffiti would
drive the price down.
Okay, and did Ravner Hughes pay for that?
No, I got the money out of our Girls college fund what oh my So if
you paid him what's with the garage door?
Well, the plan worked faster than expected and I tried to Pro -rate then
by the house and I paid him out. You can see both transfers Ma 'am
Second payments before Defunct was killed.
Brad had no motive. Any idea how he found your house?
Eh, I think I can answer that.
We sent him a screenshot of your bank balance. Did he want to make sure you
the money?
Yeah. You had your location turned on. Just let him write to you.
My mother was right.
Sandy. Get in the house, Brad.
Starting to feel like Defunct wasn't killed over anything to do with tagging.
We should head back to the building. Maybe he walked in on something else.
Okay, so defunct rag cyclops in there got bashed right around here.
What did he say? It's still so hot in here. My pits are blasting.
Uh, Karadek?
That wasn't here before.
We could see a propane torch.
And multiple propane tanks.
I've got to shut it off.
Tannik, wait, stop, stop!
There's gasoline in that glove, the whole place is going to blow up. The
Yes.
Gasoline dissolves latex. That glove is basically just a slow fuse.
And when it finally eats through... Morgan, get out of here.
Well, what are you... Hey, there's still time to turn it off.
I'm right behind you.
Go.
You're right. I have to call this thing. Are you okay?
Are you okay?
Huh? Oh, my God!
Yeah, I'm... Oh, no, no, no, no. I'm okay. I'm okay.
I got you. I got you.
Oh, no.
No.
Officer Dan!
I'll give you one more guess.
Lucia, I... Ow.
Easy, easy, Adam.
I didn't mean... I know you didn't.
You look incredible.
Dinner.
Lucia, I'm so sorry. No, no, no.
There's no reason to be sorry.
You're okay.
That is all that matters.
Oh, can you at least put some avocado on it? No apple juice. Throw that right in
the trash. You need protein.
Bring him avocado toast and just all the meats you have. Okay? He's a big meat
guy. Oh!
Sorry to interrupt, Lucia.
Uh, hi. You look hot.
You don't. You look bad.
You almost got your head blown off, you moron.
I'm glad you're okay.
Thanks.
What? What is this?
It's a gallbladder. I don't know, a hospital gift shop. It was that or a
Right choice.
This? Chocolate chip cookie with all the chocolate chips picked out. And yes, I
washed my hands thoroughly before I jumped in there.
Why not just the sugar cookie?
It's not the same thing.
Was anyone else hurt in the explosion?
Just a little cracked concrete on one side. So the building's still standing?
Mm -hmm.
Thanks to us, we got there and called it in on time.
Were they able to... Oh.
Okay. Get some sleep, okay?
You okay?
Yeah, I'm fine.
It's just, dating a cop, you know, this kind of thing can happen, but you're
never ready for it.
Yeah.
Before I got the call, I was sitting in the restaurant alone, and I
had this flashback of what it was like before.
Adam getting wrapped up in the case and forgetting our plans, forgetting about
me.
But that didn't happen. No.
He's different now, and I... I think you had something to do with that change.
Well, just after a whole day with me, he's ready to go home.
It's so hard to see him like this.
He is the careful one. I'm the more leap -before -you -look type.
Same.
Now, last year, I was in the ER.
Really? Mm -hmm.
I took a shortcut through the park and slammed my bike into a statue of George
Washington and took a hoof to the elbow.
Oh. See that? Hoof elbow.
Mm -hmm. Worse.
Awful.
I'm going to check on Adam.
Thanks for being there for him, Morgan.
You're a really good friend.
Nope. How's he doing?
They're going to keep him a couple days for observation, but he's going to be
just fine.
So things have gone from a little graffiti to someone trying to burn down
whole building. They sure did.
And it's looking like the killer and the arsonist are the same guy.
Emmy thinks one of those propane tanks is the murder weapon. The shape of the
cylinder matches Defunct's head wound.
So the arsonist and Defunct run into each other. Mm -hmm. The first time this
guy tried to set the fire, Defunct saw him.
So the arsonist killed him.
Problem was the funk ended up dangling off the side of a building, so the
left and then came back later.
Forensics say they're still trying to lift prints and DNA off what's left of
tanks, but it's going to take time. So who would want to take it down?
Anybody with eyeballs?
Very ugly building.
But we were wondering the same thing. We talked to Gerald Lee, the architect.
He talked about that building like it was his baby.
Unlikely he would want to destroy it. Same with Ravner Hughes Industries. I
mean, they bought it to fill it with tenants.
Still wouldn't hurt to ask Lee or Brad Lapmore to see what their thoughts are
the subject.
It's Wagner.
He is checking on Karaduck and seeing if he can help out with the case. Give it
a thumbs down? Take him up on it. Bring him along on the re -question of
Lapmore. And you two, go talk to the architect.
Sure, but only because Soto is making me say...
Sure. Thanks.
You know, that job you mentioned, if the offer still stands, I think I'm
interested.
Really? Yeah.
Better hours, better pay, less murder.
Like you said, I should at least consider it, right?
No, you shouldn't.
Why not?
Because you'd be working for my father.
He's spearheading the panel, and the only reason why he wants you is because
wants to use you to make him look good.
I'm sorry, Morgan.
Obviously, this is your decision to make, but you shouldn't be making one
without all the facts.
And I apologize. I should have been up front from the start.
Yeah, you really should have.
Then I wouldn't have had to figure it out for myself, which I did.
Of course you did. You mentioned city council. Your dad's on it. It wasn't
exactly a Christopher Nolan movie.
So you're not interested in the job? No.
Just wanted to see if you'd be honest with me.
Took me a little longer than I should have.
But you got there.
Thank you.
Your family's important to your dad, right? How's he going to feel about me
turning him down?
Honestly, Morgan, I couldn't care less.
You again.
You're new.
Brad Latmore, Captain Wagner.
My wife took the kids.
They're staying with their mom.
So thanks for that. Thank me?
Okay, all the stupid things you did, that's my fault?
What, are you one of my kids?
Mind if we take this inside?
Yeah.
We wanted a buy -in case, not level it.
The whole neighborhood's coming up because they're putting in a new rail
Rents are going to go through the roof.
Any idea who would want to burn it? We found evidence of an arson attempt
inside. Really?
Maybe we should have waited to pull the trigger. The price would be lower now.
I'm joking.
Hilarious. Hey, you know your model's wrong.
It doesn't match the real thing. It's rotated 90 degrees.
Oh, yeah. I think the original clients asked for that change at the last
Beams on the outside make the support structure part of the design.
That's why I named it in case.
It is hot in here, huh?
No wonder Tyler said goodnight.
Have you ever been inside the building, Brad?
Uh -uh. Tell you what, it's real hot in there.
Hey, you're going to break it.
No, I probably won't. But even if I did, Sandy's going to get it.
Right? The way it is positioned now, the side that gets the most sun has a ton
of concrete. But the way you've got it, the side that would get the most sun
doesn't have that much concrete. It's all glass and...
noodles or whatever that's supposed to be.
That filming is not supposed to get hot.
Part of the design is it's supposed to stay cool.
That could be a problem.
What kind of problem?
Well, I'm not an expert, but that could cause the whole structure to come down.
Well, that sounds bad.
Just a quick update on the case, please.
Shouldn't you be resting?
I can rest and listen.
Where's Lucia?
She stepped out.
Did you send her on a pointless errand so you could call us?
I sent her to get me some water.
Hydration is not pointless.
Can we get to the case, please?
Even before she comes back and catches you on the phone? Yeah, you got it.
We're thinking that whoever rigged that fire did it to hide the fact that the
building was about to fall down.
It's going to come down? Morgan and the captain got the building plans from that
exec you saw. Brad Latmore?
We had the plans examined by experts.
You remember when we felt like it was really hot in there? It was right before
the building exploded and you almost got yourself killed like an idiot?
Yes, Morgan. My memory is intact.
It gets crabby when nothing affects yourself. I am begging you to go on.
Well, it turns out the original clients decided to rotate the building at the
last second. They went up to Paul's office to face the mountain.
The problem is they rushed the plans through. So now the side of the building
with the most concrete got the most sun, which made the building get too hot.
And that's not good.
Like any high -rise tier in L .A., NCASE has earthquake shock absorbers at its
base. They're called seismic isolators.
But according to the experts we talked to, those shock absorbers get too hot,
they lose their flexibility, and they don't work.
The way it is now, any earthquake above a five, and that building's coming down.
And now that we know this, we realize the fire that you guys found was
specifically set up to damage the concrete on that side of the building.
as if somebody wanted to be able to redesign one side of the building
anybody asking why.
The architect.
Lee.
Exactly.
He must have bumped into Defunct while setting the fire.
And he knew he couldn't leave a witness.
His whole career is hanging on the success of a case.
This lets him fix the mistake, save the building, and avoid a scandal.
We've been trying to reach Lee since yesterday. Send Muniz to his house, his
office. He's in the wind.
Oh, hey, I gotta go. Bye.
You were trying to sneak in a call. He was. So busted.
You said before these new fires, it looked like the building was going to be
torn down?
Yeah, that must be why Lee felt the need to set the fire. I mean, before that,
his problem was going to take care of itself.
And the debris around the blowtorch included spray cans, right?
You think he's trying to make the fire look like the taggers caused it? Yeah,
absolutely. Those blowtorches are the same ones the taggers use. They help
-dry the paint and control where the drips go. We're guessing he checked back
see if the fire worked, and once he realized we got there in time to prevent
more damage... What?
We've notified all the travel authorities, flagged his passport, car,
cards, bank account. The last purchase he made before we stopped it was a
sleeping bag and a lantern.
But no food rations?
Hmm.
Go check out his house, his office, see if you can find any clues to where he
died.
Do you really think you can lay up there and pretend I didn't just see you get
off the phone with work?
I know you better than that.
And I know you better than to think I could fool you.
But I still might be able to surprise you.
I think I owe
you a date.
Is this Arlo's?
How did you get Arlo's? I had it delivered.
The nurses helped me set it up.
Oh, also.
The best vintage I could find.
Oh, this is exquisite.
Is it Napa?
Cabateria. Oh.
Cheers.
I love you.
I wonder what his dating profile interests are. Himself?
Laptop needs a password.
I'll get it to TID and see if I can crack it.
What you got there?
I think this is what encase is made of. It's called bendable concrete.
And it's not the first time Lee's used it.
Is that important?
Uh, yeah.
I think it just helped me figure out where he's hiding.
He really loves an ugly gray wall. I think he's gonna find prison
pleasing.
How did that brick tell you where he'd be?
Oh, it's not a brick. It's a miniature.
This guy kept every single sketch he ever made and every article that was
written about him. Which, I mean, okay. But one of the articles was about how he
had planned for years to build in case. Ever since the first time he worked with
bendable concrete when he was hired by a client to build an underground bunker.
The sleeping bag and the lantern.
Yes, that explains why he didn't have to stock up on food. He knew the bunker
would be completely empty except for a big food supply.
But how did this thing tell you it was a bunker?
Well, when we were searching Lee's office, I noticed a detail on the
See the rectangle on the top?
It's a door.
Nicole!
Hi! Hi.
Uh, Nicole Heisler, this is my boss, Lieutenant Soto. I heard you were
on the case. I was glad I could do something.
I got your message that you caught Defunct's killer.
I've been talking to Taggerson Newman.
They wanted me to say thanks.
That's nice.
You didn't have to come all the way down here to do that, though.
No. I also wanted to give you something.
Really, it's for Ava.
Roman helped get me out of the life.
He gave me that.
Wanted me to see the difference a female artist could make.
I thought it might inspire his daughter, too.
She's really gonna love this.
Thank you.
You know, she also might really love to talk to you sometime if you want to try
not to let 16 more years go by before we bump into each other.
Call me anytime.
I will.
Thank you.
Oh, wait. No, no. You know you can't keep it, right? I'm not gonna keep it.
just gonna borrow it. I'm just gonna swing by the hospital and fill care deck
in.
Good night.
Good
night.
Miss Quinn.
You still in L .A.? Yes, and I thought I'd share some news.
I heard that the FBI took Eric Hayworth into federal custody.
Really?
Nobody told me.
Yeah, I just found out myself.
Apparently, they got a tip that he had information on an old murder FBI agent,
Lila Flynn.
In other words, you had Hayworth move somewhere. I can't get to him, but you
can.
Oh, I'm sorry, dear. I have to go. I'm just walking into a meeting, but I'm
we'll speak soon.
One second.
Hey, now, that is a 30 -year -old whiskey.
I guess I should know better than expect you to ask politely.
You should.
And you're right, it is a 30 -year -old.
The owner of the club is a client.
I bought him the bottle.
So any word from the prodigal son?
Yes.
Nick is not sidelining Morgan Guillory.
Time being, she's staying at Major Crimes.
So there.
Done your errand, and I'm out. Whatever you're doing, you have to find another
way.
Well...
Do I need to remind you that we're in this together?
I know where all your bodies are buried.
If I go down, you're coming with me.
And you are right.
We are going to have to figure out another way.
