00:00:00,175 --> 00:00:01,479
[narrator]
Previously on SWAT...
2
00:00:01,480 --> 00:00:03,568
You didn't have to do anything
special for today.
3
00:00:03,569 --> 00:00:06,136
Top of your class in law school to the
public defender's office. I'm proud of you.
4
00:00:06,137 --> 00:00:07,920
Does Hondo know you're still
in touch with your family?
5
00:00:07,921 --> 00:00:09,966
It's been ten years since
I've seen my mom in person.
6
00:00:09,967 --> 00:00:11,837
I actually got to hug
her on her birthday.
7
00:00:11,838 --> 00:00:13,230
I do not regret that.
8
00:00:13,231 --> 00:00:14,449
But if you're still associating
with criminals...
9
00:00:14,450 --> 00:00:16,233
They're still my family, Tan.
10
00:00:16,234 --> 00:00:18,061
[Hicks] Deputy Chief Bennett's
coming by SWAT today.
11
00:00:18,062 --> 00:00:19,845
You think she's coming here
to influence what you say?
12
00:00:19,846 --> 00:00:22,457
I might buy there's no ulterior
motive if she wasn't married
13
00:00:22,458 --> 00:00:23,806
to Warden Bennett
from the prison where
14
00:00:23,807 --> 00:00:25,329
we put that riot down
a couple weeks back.
15
00:00:25,330 --> 00:00:27,462
And let's get this on the
record, too, while we're at it.
16
00:00:27,463 --> 00:00:29,116
You're an incompetent moron.
17
00:00:29,117 --> 00:00:31,422
You got no business
running this or any prison.
18
00:00:31,423 --> 00:00:32,945
When my wife hears
how you handled things today...
19
00:00:32,946 --> 00:00:34,643
SWAT handled what you couldn't.
20
00:00:34,644 --> 00:00:36,210
I will tell the truth at
the inquiry into your husband.
21
00:00:36,211 --> 00:00:38,647
I don't care
what firestorm you cook up.
22
00:00:38,648 --> 00:00:40,171
I stand by my officers.
23
00:00:45,089 --> 00:00:47,438
Okay, your hat
and your water bottle
24
00:00:47,439 --> 00:00:49,745
are in your bag.
25
00:00:49,746 --> 00:00:51,312
Where's your lunch box?
26
00:00:51,313 --> 00:00:53,575
- Did we forget it again?
- Yeah.
27
00:00:53,576 --> 00:00:55,621
Wait here.
I'll go grab it.
28
00:00:56,622 --> 00:00:58,755
[sighs]
29
00:01:03,368 --> 00:01:05,370
[sighs]
30
00:01:10,375 --> 00:01:12,334
Gracie?
31
00:01:14,075 --> 00:01:15,553
Gracie, where are you?
32
00:01:15,554 --> 00:01:18,034
[Gracie screaming] Mommy!
33
00:01:18,035 --> 00:01:19,340
Gracie!
34
00:01:19,341 --> 00:01:21,559
Stop!
35
00:01:21,560 --> 00:01:24,214
- Mommy! Mommy!
- Gracie! Stop! Please, not...
36
00:01:24,215 --> 00:01:26,335
- Mommy!
- My daughter! Don't take my daughter away!
37
00:01:29,394 --> 00:01:30,786
Oh, my God.
38
00:01:30,787 --> 00:01:32,919
[man] 911.
What's your emergency?
39
00:01:34,965 --> 00:01:37,053
You forget your shovel?
40
00:01:37,054 --> 00:01:38,707
I assume
you're back to try again
41
00:01:38,708 --> 00:01:40,709
to dig up some more dirt on me.
42
00:01:40,710 --> 00:01:43,581
When you read the book How to
Win Friends and Influence People,
43
00:01:43,582 --> 00:01:45,627
I think you skipped
the chapter on charm.
44
00:01:45,628 --> 00:01:47,150
Well, I shoot from the hip
and I tell it straight.
45
00:01:47,151 --> 00:01:48,673
Must be nice
to have that luxury.
46
00:01:48,674 --> 00:01:52,329
Mm, well... Uh, I'm sorry
your husband lost his job.
47
00:01:52,330 --> 00:01:54,157
But the prison board did
a thorough investigation
48
00:01:54,158 --> 00:01:55,811
and put the blame
for the riot squarely
49
00:01:55,812 --> 00:01:58,466
on his shoulders, not SWAT's.
50
00:01:58,467 --> 00:02:01,077
Well, while I disagree
with the board's findings,
51
00:02:01,078 --> 00:02:02,992
I will accept their decision.
52
00:02:02,993 --> 00:02:04,733
And my husband did the right
thing and fell on his sword.
53
00:02:04,734 --> 00:02:06,517
- Ah.
- But I'm not here to talk about that.
54
00:02:06,518 --> 00:02:08,171
I'm here to talk
about Officer Gamble.
55
00:02:08,172 --> 00:02:10,173
Are you aware
56
00:02:10,174 --> 00:02:12,044
she's associating
with known criminals?
57
00:02:12,045 --> 00:02:13,481
Are you talking
about her family?
58
00:02:13,482 --> 00:02:15,700
Her brothers Leon and Judd,
as well as two cousins,
59
00:02:15,701 --> 00:02:18,225
are suspected of carrying out
several train cargo heists.
60
00:02:18,226 --> 00:02:20,531
They've been under surveillance
for the last three weeks.
61
00:02:20,532 --> 00:02:22,098
Early yesterday morning,
62
00:02:22,099 --> 00:02:25,710
LAPD's Cargo Theft Unit raided
their suspected stash house
63
00:02:25,711 --> 00:02:27,843
and came up empty.
I wonder why that is.
64
00:02:27,844 --> 00:02:29,366
- Maybe they got bad intel.
- Maybe
65
00:02:29,367 --> 00:02:31,194
somebody tipped them off
that the raid was happening.
66
00:02:31,195 --> 00:02:33,544
Are you implying
my officer is dirty?
67
00:02:33,545 --> 00:02:36,330
Surveillance caught Gamble
leaving her cousins' house
68
00:02:36,331 --> 00:02:38,288
the night
before the raid went down.
69
00:02:38,289 --> 00:02:40,551
How would she have even known
about the raid?
70
00:02:40,552 --> 00:02:41,944
The Cargo Theft Unit
71
00:02:41,945 --> 00:02:43,859
requested armed backup.
72
00:02:43,860 --> 00:02:46,296
Details were posted
to SWAT's bulletin board.
73
00:02:46,297 --> 00:02:48,342
Gamble could have seen
the alert and tipped them off.
74
00:02:48,343 --> 00:02:51,040
Or are you putting one of my
officers under the microscope
75
00:02:51,041 --> 00:02:53,303
- in an attempt to discredit me?
- As my daughter likes to say,
76
00:02:53,304 --> 00:02:55,871
you have real
main-character energy, but...
77
00:02:55,872 --> 00:02:57,786
and this might come
as a surprise...
78
00:02:57,787 --> 00:02:59,396
not everything is about you.
79
00:02:59,397 --> 00:03:01,616
And you say
I skipped the chapter on charm.
80
00:03:01,617 --> 00:03:03,008
There is gonna be
an investigation
81
00:03:03,009 --> 00:03:05,054
into Gamble
and her links to this crew
82
00:03:05,055 --> 00:03:07,317
and whether or not she's
working for them as an informant.
83
00:03:07,318 --> 00:03:09,363
- Oh...
- While it's ongoing,
84
00:03:09,364 --> 00:03:11,103
you need to bench her.
85
00:03:11,104 --> 00:03:12,888
IA moves at glacial speed.
86
00:03:12,889 --> 00:03:15,020
She'll end up sitting
in the armory for a year,
87
00:03:15,021 --> 00:03:17,327
twiddling her thumbs,
only to be found innocent.
88
00:03:17,328 --> 00:03:19,634
It is up to your discretion.
But if I were you,
89
00:03:19,635 --> 00:03:22,637
I would consider how it looks
if she ends up being guilty.
90
00:03:22,638 --> 00:03:24,073
[beeping]
91
00:03:24,074 --> 00:03:26,728
Oh.
You'll have to excuse me.
92
00:03:26,729 --> 00:03:28,904
As much as I love
our little chats,
93
00:03:28,905 --> 00:03:30,298
I got better things to do.
94
00:03:36,129 --> 00:03:38,392
All right,
at 7:20 this morning,
95
00:03:38,393 --> 00:03:41,046
six-year-old Gracie Walz was
abducted from her front yard.
96
00:03:41,047 --> 00:03:42,613
Fifteen minutes ago, a manager
97
00:03:42,614 --> 00:03:44,833
of a motel responded
to the Amber Alert,
98
00:03:44,834 --> 00:03:46,400
saying he saw Gracie
being dragged, screaming,
99
00:03:46,401 --> 00:03:47,792
into a room by this guy.
100
00:03:47,793 --> 00:03:49,185
Jerod Whitlock.
101
00:03:49,186 --> 00:03:51,318
He's got a long list
of felony convictions.
102
00:03:51,319 --> 00:03:53,624
Any of those felonies
child-related?
103
00:03:53,625 --> 00:03:56,584
Assault with a deadly weapon,
forcible coercion.
104
00:03:56,585 --> 00:03:59,195
It's not clear from this if any
of the charges involved minors.
105
00:03:59,196 --> 00:04:00,718
Detectives are already
at the hotel.
106
00:04:00,719 --> 00:04:02,285
I told them to set a perimeter,
107
00:04:02,286 --> 00:04:03,721
warned them to stay back
and out of sight.
108
00:04:03,722 --> 00:04:05,636
Does the suspect have
any connection to Gracie?
109
00:04:05,637 --> 00:04:07,159
No, it doesn't seem like it.
110
00:04:07,160 --> 00:04:09,031
Looks like a stranger abduction.
111
00:04:09,032 --> 00:04:11,120
With most stranger abductions,
the victim winds up dead.
112
00:04:11,121 --> 00:04:13,688
74% are killed within
the first three hours.
113
00:04:13,689 --> 00:04:15,211
[Hondo]
We're not giving Whitlock
114
00:04:15,212 --> 00:04:17,126
a chance to use
this kid as a hostage
115
00:04:17,127 --> 00:04:19,433
or do anything worse.
Y'all copy?
116
00:04:19,434 --> 00:04:21,305
- Roger.
- Copy.
117
00:04:26,571 --> 00:04:29,269
Suspect's in room 217. RHD
confirmed with the receptionist
118
00:04:29,270 --> 00:04:30,879
he hasn't left the room.
119
00:04:30,880 --> 00:04:32,750
[Hondo] All right, Tan,
Powell, take the rear in case
120
00:04:32,751 --> 00:04:35,492
he makes a break for it.
Deacon, you cover the front.
121
00:04:35,493 --> 00:04:36,886
Me and Gamble will head inside.
122
00:04:38,453 --> 00:04:40,193
[indistinct chatter in distance]
123
00:04:44,415 --> 00:04:47,243
Hold. D-team, report in.
124
00:04:47,244 --> 00:04:48,418
What's your status?
125
00:04:48,419 --> 00:04:49,619
25-David.
Moving into position.
126
00:04:52,684 --> 00:04:55,033
30-David.
I got the one-side covered.
127
00:04:55,034 --> 00:04:56,166
Moving.
128
00:05:01,084 --> 00:05:02,738
Jerod Whitlock,
stop right there.
129
00:05:04,130 --> 00:05:06,175
Suspect spotted us.
He's going back in the room.
130
00:05:06,176 --> 00:05:08,134
Suspect's on the balcony.
131
00:05:09,527 --> 00:05:11,746
[Tan] Give it up, Whitlock!
132
00:05:11,747 --> 00:05:13,356
Gamble, stay with the kid.
133
00:05:13,357 --> 00:05:14,967
Copy.
134
00:05:15,968 --> 00:05:17,492
[Hondo]
Hey, stop!
135
00:05:18,710 --> 00:05:20,668
Give it up.
136
00:05:20,669 --> 00:05:21,989
[Powell]
He's headed for the roof.
137
00:05:23,715 --> 00:05:25,282
Split. Take the right side.
138
00:05:30,635 --> 00:05:32,288
LAPD!
139
00:05:32,289 --> 00:05:33,769
Hondo, I'm on him.
140
00:05:39,427 --> 00:05:40,907
- Move, move, move, move!
- [exclaims]
141
00:05:44,432 --> 00:05:46,694
[grunts]
142
00:05:46,695 --> 00:05:47,825
[Deacon]
On your knees!
143
00:05:47,826 --> 00:05:49,045
Don't move!
144
00:05:50,481 --> 00:05:51,700
LAPD. Stop!
145
00:05:57,183 --> 00:05:58,315
[grunting]
146
00:06:01,753 --> 00:06:02,840
Hey!
147
00:06:02,841 --> 00:06:05,234
A for effort, at least.
148
00:06:05,235 --> 00:06:07,584
[Gamble]
Hondo, it's not Gracie.
149
00:06:07,585 --> 00:06:08,759
The girl in the room.
It's not her.
150
00:06:08,760 --> 00:06:10,500
Who's that little girl?
151
00:06:10,501 --> 00:06:12,067
It's my girlfriend's kid.
152
00:06:12,068 --> 00:06:14,809
I'm looking after her for
the day while my girl at work.
153
00:06:14,810 --> 00:06:18,029
What the hell, man? Did
somebody call 911 and report me?
154
00:06:18,030 --> 00:06:19,727
- Yes.
- Man, it's a sick world.
155
00:06:19,728 --> 00:06:21,163
A Black man
156
00:06:21,164 --> 00:06:22,773
can't do nothing
without somebody thinking
157
00:06:22,774 --> 00:06:24,819
- he doing something wrong.
- Why'd you run when you saw us?
158
00:06:24,820 --> 00:06:26,908
- It's a natural reaction to the cops.
- [Deacon] Yeah? Nothing to do
159
00:06:26,909 --> 00:06:28,388
with your two
outstanding warrants?
160
00:06:28,389 --> 00:06:30,956
Oh, come on, man. I can't
never catch a damn break!
161
00:06:37,093 --> 00:06:39,181
So, Gracie's still out there.
162
00:06:39,182 --> 00:06:40,791
She's been missing
an hour already.
163
00:06:40,792 --> 00:06:42,314
Tan, you said if
we don't find her
164
00:06:42,315 --> 00:06:43,968
in the first three,
we might never.
165
00:06:43,969 --> 00:06:45,405
Well, then the clock's ticking.
166
00:06:45,406 --> 00:06:47,451
We need to bring
that little girl home.
167
00:06:48,974 --> 00:06:50,933
[opening theme music playing]
168
00:07:24,812 --> 00:07:26,030
Window of opportunity
169
00:07:26,031 --> 00:07:28,989
for finding Gracie alive
is closing rapidly.
170
00:07:28,990 --> 00:07:31,248
Most child abductions are done
by people who know the victim.
171
00:07:31,273 --> 00:07:32,906
Usually a parent
who's lost custody.
172
00:07:32,907 --> 00:07:34,995
- Where's Gracie's dad in all this?
- Well, definitely wasn't him
173
00:07:34,996 --> 00:07:38,085
who took her. He died six
months ago of a brain tumor.
174
00:07:38,086 --> 00:07:40,436
I also found out
he was a cop up in Oxnard.
175
00:07:40,437 --> 00:07:41,567
- One of our own.
- Yeah.
176
00:07:41,568 --> 00:07:42,873
That why
Deputy Chief Bennett's here?
177
00:07:42,874 --> 00:07:44,788
No. But it's why
she's sticking around.
178
00:07:44,789 --> 00:07:46,790
She's on the board of the
Eagle and Shield foundation.
179
00:07:46,791 --> 00:07:48,661
Apparently knows the family.
180
00:07:48,662 --> 00:07:50,228
Gracie's mom managed to
catch the make and model
181
00:07:50,229 --> 00:07:52,361
of the vehicle. It's
a white Honda Civic.
182
00:07:52,362 --> 00:07:54,537
Now, she only got the first
three letters of the plate.
183
00:07:54,538 --> 00:07:55,973
I'll check to see
if there are any more leads.
184
00:07:55,974 --> 00:07:58,323
- [Hicks] Okay.
- [door opens]
185
00:07:58,324 --> 00:08:00,107
I've gone through a list
of child sex offenders
186
00:08:00,108 --> 00:08:01,544
in the area. There's one living
187
00:08:01,545 --> 00:08:03,720
three streets over
from Gracie's house.
188
00:08:03,721 --> 00:08:05,374
Michael Boswell.
189
00:08:05,375 --> 00:08:06,592
His phone's off,
190
00:08:06,593 --> 00:08:08,464
so I called his workplace.
191
00:08:08,465 --> 00:08:09,726
He didn't show up
this morning for his shift.
192
00:08:09,727 --> 00:08:11,729
Tan, grab Hondo
and get over there.
193
00:08:14,209 --> 00:08:15,688
Gamble.
194
00:08:15,689 --> 00:08:17,169
A word.
195
00:08:20,912 --> 00:08:22,956
Have you seen
your family recently?
196
00:08:22,957 --> 00:08:25,785
Uh, couple nights ago,
yeah. Why?
197
00:08:25,786 --> 00:08:28,222
Any particular reason
for the visit?
198
00:08:28,223 --> 00:08:31,965
Uh, no, we just, you know,
had a family dinner.
199
00:08:31,966 --> 00:08:34,141
- I owed them.
- Hmm. Your brothers
200
00:08:34,142 --> 00:08:35,969
and your cousins
are under investigation
201
00:08:35,970 --> 00:08:38,145
by the LAPD for cargo theft.
202
00:08:38,146 --> 00:08:39,495
- What?
- When you were there,
203
00:08:39,496 --> 00:08:41,235
visiting,
204
00:08:41,236 --> 00:08:42,933
that didn't come up
in the conversation?
205
00:08:42,934 --> 00:08:46,153
No. I had no idea until now.
206
00:08:46,154 --> 00:08:47,633
So, you didn't tip 'em off
207
00:08:47,634 --> 00:08:49,636
that an LAPD raid was imminent?
208
00:08:51,116 --> 00:08:52,595
I'm sorry, what are you saying?
209
00:08:52,596 --> 00:08:55,032
It sounds like you're accusing
me of being a dirty cop.
210
00:08:55,033 --> 00:08:56,947
I'm not accusing you
of anything.
211
00:08:56,948 --> 00:08:58,775
The deputy chief is.
212
00:08:58,776 --> 00:09:01,168
And she's opening
an investigation.
213
00:09:01,169 --> 00:09:03,388
Into what?
I didn't do anything.
214
00:09:03,389 --> 00:09:05,347
I had no idea
my brothers and cousins
215
00:09:05,348 --> 00:09:06,783
were into anything illegal.
216
00:09:06,784 --> 00:09:08,654
Trust me, if I had,
I wouldn't have went
217
00:09:08,655 --> 00:09:10,264
- anywhere near them.
- I'm not the one
218
00:09:10,265 --> 00:09:12,005
you're gonna need to convince.
219
00:09:12,006 --> 00:09:13,442
It's Internal Affairs.
220
00:09:13,443 --> 00:09:15,227
You're the SWAT commander.
221
00:09:16,359 --> 00:09:17,620
If you don't believe
I'm innocent,
222
00:09:17,621 --> 00:09:20,493
then what hope do I have
in convincing anyone else?
223
00:09:30,111 --> 00:09:33,113
My husband was a detective.
224
00:09:33,114 --> 00:09:34,854
He used to come home
from work with stories
225
00:09:34,855 --> 00:09:37,335
about all the awful things
he'd seen on the job.
226
00:09:37,336 --> 00:09:39,729
Robberies, murders.
227
00:09:39,730 --> 00:09:42,645
You know, bad things always
happened to other people,
228
00:09:42,646 --> 00:09:44,690
not to us.
229
00:09:44,691 --> 00:09:47,477
I wish he was here.
He'd know what to do.
230
00:09:50,741 --> 00:09:53,395
You've got the entire LAPD
231
00:09:53,396 --> 00:09:55,484
looking for Gracie.
232
00:09:55,485 --> 00:09:57,834
We will do everything we can
to find her.
233
00:09:57,835 --> 00:09:59,009
This is my fault.
I shouldn't have
234
00:09:59,010 --> 00:10:00,793
- let her out of my sight.
- No.
235
00:10:00,794 --> 00:10:02,230
This is not your fault.
236
00:10:03,797 --> 00:10:05,669
She forgot her lunch box.
237
00:10:06,800 --> 00:10:09,193
I went back inside to get it.
238
00:10:09,194 --> 00:10:11,891
Every day, I have to make her
239
00:10:11,892 --> 00:10:14,459
peanut butter
and banana sandwiches
240
00:10:14,460 --> 00:10:16,679
and cut them into triangles
241
00:10:16,680 --> 00:10:19,073
because that's the
way her dad did it.
242
00:10:21,206 --> 00:10:24,078
And she'll only drink
strawberry milk.
243
00:10:25,776 --> 00:10:29,040
Because he told her
that's what princesses drink.
244
00:10:31,172 --> 00:10:33,173
Hey. I know
245
00:10:33,174 --> 00:10:36,612
it's easy for me to sit here
and say, "Don't fall apart."
246
00:10:36,613 --> 00:10:38,744
Kate, the best thing you can
do for Gracie
247
00:10:38,745 --> 00:10:40,617
right now
is to hold it together.
248
00:10:42,706 --> 00:10:44,402
I, uh,
249
00:10:44,403 --> 00:10:46,448
gave the detectives some photos
250
00:10:46,449 --> 00:10:47,927
from my phone.
251
00:10:47,928 --> 00:10:50,582
But I remembered
252
00:10:50,583 --> 00:10:52,063
I had this one.
253
00:10:55,588 --> 00:10:58,547
She was wearing
that dress today.
254
00:10:58,548 --> 00:11:00,680
[knocking]
255
00:11:02,203 --> 00:11:03,769
Have you found her?
256
00:11:03,770 --> 00:11:05,032
We're still working on leads.
257
00:11:06,425 --> 00:11:08,687
Powell, a word?
258
00:11:08,688 --> 00:11:09,907
Excuse me.
259
00:11:15,216 --> 00:11:16,565
We got hits
on three white Hondas
260
00:11:16,566 --> 00:11:18,392
matching the one
that drove off with Gracie.
261
00:11:18,393 --> 00:11:20,046
Now, detectives cleared
the first two,
262
00:11:20,047 --> 00:11:21,308
but the owner
of the third one...
263
00:11:21,309 --> 00:11:22,788
he's got two charges
on his record.
264
00:11:22,789 --> 00:11:24,964
Violating a restraining order
and brandishing a weapon.
265
00:11:24,965 --> 00:11:26,183
So we've been asked
266
00:11:26,184 --> 00:11:28,534
to do the honors and
go knock on his door.
267
00:11:32,364 --> 00:11:33,451
[Tan]
Guess if you're on
268
00:11:33,452 --> 00:11:35,105
the sex offender registry
you don't
269
00:11:35,106 --> 00:11:37,107
get to be too picky
about where you live.
270
00:11:37,108 --> 00:11:38,935
I don't know about that, Tan.
271
00:11:38,936 --> 00:11:40,414
I've arrested a
few sex offenders
272
00:11:40,415 --> 00:11:42,374
living in mansions in
the Hollywood Hills.
273
00:11:44,855 --> 00:11:46,551
You keep a list in your head?
274
00:11:46,552 --> 00:11:48,684
Of the cases
that never leave you?
275
00:11:48,685 --> 00:11:50,947
I used to.
276
00:11:50,948 --> 00:11:53,384
But that list got too long.
277
00:11:53,385 --> 00:11:55,647
I had to figure ways
to deal with it instead.
278
00:11:55,648 --> 00:11:58,911
Every single one on my list
involves kids.
279
00:11:58,912 --> 00:12:00,435
Murdered, missing, worse.
280
00:12:01,654 --> 00:12:03,612
Kanesha's the one
that sticks with me most.
281
00:12:03,613 --> 00:12:05,178
I think about her all the time.
282
00:12:05,179 --> 00:12:07,006
What happened to Kanesha?
283
00:12:07,007 --> 00:12:08,791
She was ten.
284
00:12:08,792 --> 00:12:11,881
Went missing on her way home
from choir practice.
285
00:12:11,882 --> 00:12:14,797
Three blocks between
the church and her house.
286
00:12:14,798 --> 00:12:17,224
Broad daylight.
Not a single witness.
287
00:12:17,380 --> 00:12:18,670
It was my first week
working Vice
288
00:12:18,671 --> 00:12:20,933
and my sergeant assigned me
family liaison.
289
00:12:21,560 --> 00:12:23,370
- That's a tough job.
- Yeah.
290
00:12:23,841 --> 00:12:25,374
Every time I knocked
on their door,
291
00:12:25,399 --> 00:12:28,227
her mom would answer
looking so hopeful and...
292
00:12:28,551 --> 00:12:31,117
every time,
I had to let her down.
293
00:12:31,349 --> 00:12:33,598
Handling another person's
hope ain't easy, man.
294
00:12:34,318 --> 00:12:35,512
Especially when you
know that hope's
295
00:12:35,537 --> 00:12:37,733
probably gonna turn to grief.
296
00:12:38,076 --> 00:12:40,736
Her mom was a really nice lady.
297
00:12:41,138 --> 00:12:43,170
I must have sat
on her sofa for hours,
298
00:12:43,195 --> 00:12:45,762
drinking iced tea, listening
to her talk about Kanesha,
299
00:12:45,763 --> 00:12:49,636
- how she wanted to be Beyoncé when she grew up.
- [chuckles]
300
00:12:50,681 --> 00:12:51,985
It was awful.
301
00:12:51,986 --> 00:12:53,422
I-I felt like I was
keeping a secret from her.
302
00:12:53,423 --> 00:12:55,859
You know, some folks just
prefer to stay in the dark
303
00:12:55,860 --> 00:12:57,556
so they don't have
to face the fact
304
00:12:57,557 --> 00:12:58,993
that their kid's
never coming home.
305
00:12:59,905 --> 00:13:01,472
This is the street.
306
00:13:08,699 --> 00:13:11,615
Well, there's no guessing which
is our suspect's house.
307
00:13:15,923 --> 00:13:17,533
You here about Gracie?
308
00:13:17,534 --> 00:13:19,317
Where is she? She inside?
309
00:13:19,318 --> 00:13:21,754
[scoffs] Come on in.
See for yourself.
310
00:13:21,755 --> 00:13:23,365
- Gracie!
- Turn around.
311
00:13:23,366 --> 00:13:25,150
- All right, all right.
- [Tan] Gracie!
312
00:13:29,628 --> 00:13:30,111
All right.
313
00:13:30,503 --> 00:13:32,678
Soon as I got that
Amber Alert, I knew
314
00:13:32,679 --> 00:13:35,072
- you'd come knocking.
- Place is clear.
315
00:13:35,073 --> 00:13:36,595
Yeah, 'cause she's not here.
316
00:13:36,596 --> 00:13:38,206
Where were you this morning
between 7:00 and 8:00?
317
00:13:38,207 --> 00:13:41,165
I was peeing into a plastic
cup for a random drug test.
318
00:13:41,166 --> 00:13:43,167
Call my parole officer
if you don't believe me.
319
00:13:43,168 --> 00:13:45,126
Here, I...
I had a...
320
00:13:45,127 --> 00:13:46,779
a...
321
00:13:46,780 --> 00:13:48,434
[sighs]
322
00:13:53,831 --> 00:13:55,136
Yeah, neighbor from hell.
323
00:13:55,137 --> 00:13:56,485
Yeah, I'm sure they'd agree.
324
00:13:56,486 --> 00:13:57,616
I was 21. She was 17.
325
00:13:57,617 --> 00:13:59,009
Maybe you should have
checked her ID.
326
00:13:59,010 --> 00:14:01,054
Her parents reported me.
327
00:14:01,055 --> 00:14:03,840
And eight years I got,
for statutory rape.
328
00:14:03,841 --> 00:14:06,147
- You broke the law.
- And I did my time.
329
00:14:07,057 --> 00:14:08,758
[scoffs] I got an
engineering degree
330
00:14:08,759 --> 00:14:10,760
and the only job
that I can get is
331
00:14:10,761 --> 00:14:13,066
unclogging toilets at the
shelter down the street.
332
00:14:13,067 --> 00:14:15,112
And every time a
kid goes missing,
333
00:14:15,113 --> 00:14:16,853
you guys come
banging on my door,
334
00:14:16,854 --> 00:14:19,638
the neighbors smash my windows,
they threaten to kill me.
335
00:14:19,639 --> 00:14:23,381
Okay, thanks.
Alibi holds.
336
00:14:23,382 --> 00:14:24,818
Let's go.
337
00:14:27,343 --> 00:14:29,866
Hey, can y-can you just...
338
00:14:29,867 --> 00:14:32,427
Can you please just tell my
neighbors that I didn't take that kid?
339
00:14:33,479 --> 00:14:34,698
Fine.
340
00:14:38,029 --> 00:14:39,988
[knocking]
341
00:14:49,958 --> 00:14:52,176
Guess no one's home.
342
00:14:52,247 --> 00:14:53,988
Let's check the back.
343
00:14:56,633 --> 00:14:57,938
Come on.
344
00:14:58,939 --> 00:15:00,419
[door closes]
345
00:15:01,855 --> 00:15:03,769
Excuse me. We're looking
for your neighbor,
346
00:15:03,770 --> 00:15:05,945
Robert Dunne.
Have you seen him today?
347
00:15:05,946 --> 00:15:07,730
He's, uh, he's on vacation.
348
00:15:07,731 --> 00:15:10,254
Ah. Any idea
where he went?
349
00:15:10,255 --> 00:15:12,517
Uh, Baja.
It's one of those, uh, uh,
350
00:15:12,518 --> 00:15:14,040
adults-only cruises.
351
00:15:14,041 --> 00:15:16,173
[chuckles] It's not
my thing, but, hey...
352
00:15:16,174 --> 00:15:18,175
Does he drive
a white Honda Civic?
353
00:15:18,176 --> 00:15:19,307
Uh, yeah.
354
00:15:19,308 --> 00:15:21,352
Yeah, he-he drove it down
to Long Beach,
355
00:15:21,353 --> 00:15:22,745
where he caught the ship from.
356
00:15:22,746 --> 00:15:24,747
Any idea when he might
be back, Mr...
357
00:15:24,748 --> 00:15:27,228
Oh, uh, Owens. Stephen Owens.
358
00:15:27,229 --> 00:15:30,840
- Uh, and no. No, I got no idea, sorry. What's this about?
- Well, a car
359
00:15:30,841 --> 00:15:32,798
with a similar description was
used in a crime this morning.
360
00:15:32,799 --> 00:15:35,758
Oh. Well, are-are you sure
it was his car?
361
00:15:35,759 --> 00:15:38,064
Oh, we're just checking
on some leads.
362
00:15:38,065 --> 00:15:39,327
Thank you for your time.
363
00:15:39,328 --> 00:15:41,112
Yeah, okay.
[chuckles]
364
00:15:43,245 --> 00:15:44,985
Who's watching
your neighbor's cat?
365
00:15:47,074 --> 00:15:49,206
Oh, uh, I am.
I'm-I'm... I'm watching it.
366
00:15:49,207 --> 00:15:51,862
So, wouldn't you know
when he's coming back?
367
00:15:53,211 --> 00:15:55,168
Uh, yeah, it's-it's
next week sometime.
368
00:15:55,169 --> 00:15:56,605
But I-I don't-I don't know
the exact date.
369
00:15:56,606 --> 00:15:59,957
I'd have to look it up, so...
Uh, if you'll excuse me.
370
00:16:01,524 --> 00:16:03,351
Let's go.
371
00:16:03,352 --> 00:16:04,657
He's acting really weird.
372
00:16:05,963 --> 00:16:07,616
We'll run a check on him
when we get back to HQ.
373
00:16:07,617 --> 00:16:09,661
If he has a key to
the neighbor's house,
374
00:16:09,662 --> 00:16:11,925
who's to say he doesn't
have a key to the car, too?
375
00:16:13,927 --> 00:16:16,233
What if his neighbor
didn't drive to Long Beach?
376
00:16:16,234 --> 00:16:17,495
What if he kept his car here
377
00:16:17,496 --> 00:16:19,324
and Owens used it
to abduct Gracie?
378
00:16:20,804 --> 00:16:22,152
We need to bring him
in for questioning.
379
00:16:22,153 --> 00:16:23,371
Powell, we can't just
bring him in for questioning
380
00:16:23,372 --> 00:16:24,720
because we think he's weird.
381
00:16:24,721 --> 00:16:26,591
We'd need actual proof
that he borrowed the car.
382
00:16:26,592 --> 00:16:28,680
Gracie's been missing
for two hours.
383
00:16:28,681 --> 00:16:32,423
My gut tells me something
is off about that guy, Deac.
384
00:16:32,424 --> 00:16:35,165
Notice how he didn't ask what
crime the car was used for?
385
00:16:35,166 --> 00:16:38,517
Yeah. People usually do want to
know all the lurid details.
386
00:16:41,999 --> 00:16:43,216
[knocking]
387
00:16:43,217 --> 00:16:44,740
Mr. Owens, we were
388
00:16:44,741 --> 00:16:46,785
just wondering if we could
ask you a few more questions.
389
00:16:46,786 --> 00:16:48,439
Uh, about what?
390
00:16:48,440 --> 00:16:49,832
[loud whimpering in distance]
391
00:16:49,833 --> 00:16:51,660
You live alone?
392
00:16:51,661 --> 00:16:53,140
Yeah.
393
00:16:54,054 --> 00:16:55,620
Hey, what...
394
00:16:55,621 --> 00:16:59,015
- what-what are you doing? Y-You can't do that.
- Powell...
395
00:16:59,016 --> 00:17:01,713
- Mr. Owens, we are conducting a search for a missing child.
- Yeah, well,
396
00:17:01,714 --> 00:17:03,236
you cannot come into my house
without a search warrant.
397
00:17:03,237 --> 00:17:04,282
I know my rights.
398
00:17:10,114 --> 00:17:11,855
[whimpering nearby]
399
00:17:14,901 --> 00:17:16,381
[whimpers]
400
00:17:18,775 --> 00:17:20,733
[Deacon]
Powell.
401
00:17:22,605 --> 00:17:24,257
Did you find anything?
402
00:17:24,258 --> 00:17:26,782
- No. It's just a dog.
- What did I tell you?
403
00:17:26,783 --> 00:17:28,871
Now, get the hell
out of my house.
404
00:17:28,872 --> 00:17:30,960
- Hey, stop that. Don't do that!
- Hey,
405
00:17:30,961 --> 00:17:32,265
stay back. Don't move.
406
00:17:32,266 --> 00:17:34,225
Peanut butter, bananas.
407
00:17:36,227 --> 00:17:37,507
These are all Gracie's
favorites.
408
00:17:39,275 --> 00:17:40,815
Hey... Get off me!
409
00:17:41,034 --> 00:17:43,818
Where the hell is Gracie?
410
00:17:44,020 --> 00:17:45,978
What did you do with her?
411
00:17:47,950 --> 00:17:49,970
The suspect you brought in
has no priors
412
00:17:50,019 --> 00:17:51,722
and we got no hard evidence
that he took Gracie.
413
00:17:51,746 --> 00:17:53,025
I know he took her.
414
00:17:53,050 --> 00:17:55,512
A hunch isn't enough to get
a judge to issue a warrant.
415
00:17:55,537 --> 00:17:58,533
Especially after that
unauthorized entry you pulled.
416
00:17:58,558 --> 00:18:00,384
I'm not saying
you made a bad call.
417
00:18:00,409 --> 00:18:02,431
Other than violating
a man's rights.
418
00:18:02,460 --> 00:18:03,721
We don't have enough
to charge him
419
00:18:03,722 --> 00:18:05,549
unless Deacon and Tan
get him to crack.
420
00:18:05,550 --> 00:18:06,680
Did we get inside the
neighbor's house yet?
421
00:18:06,681 --> 00:18:07,942
Owens has a key.
422
00:18:07,943 --> 00:18:09,509
He could have
stashed Gracie there.
423
00:18:09,510 --> 00:18:11,642
We're trying to get ahold of
the landlord to get us access.
424
00:18:11,643 --> 00:18:13,253
The lawful kind.
425
00:18:16,038 --> 00:18:17,430
In the meantime,
426
00:18:17,431 --> 00:18:18,605
I want you to see
what you can do
427
00:18:18,606 --> 00:18:21,087
to dig into Owens' private life.
428
00:18:25,241 --> 00:18:26,807
[door closes]
429
00:18:26,832 --> 00:18:29,355
If you took Gracie,
it's best to own up now.
430
00:18:29,356 --> 00:18:31,966
- Let us help you fix this.
- I-I didn't snatch any child.
431
00:18:31,967 --> 00:18:33,577
This is a wrongful arrest
432
00:18:33,578 --> 00:18:36,188
and I am gonna sue
your asses into the ground.
433
00:18:36,189 --> 00:18:38,146
Once we find evidence,
which we will,
434
00:18:38,147 --> 00:18:40,148
we are gonna nail your ass
to the wall.
435
00:18:40,149 --> 00:18:42,760
I'm sorry, what was that,
Officer Tan?
436
00:18:42,761 --> 00:18:43,805
Annie.
437
00:18:47,505 --> 00:18:48,766
Who is that?
438
00:18:48,767 --> 00:18:50,550
Annie Kay.
439
00:18:50,551 --> 00:18:52,509
Deacon's wife.
She's a public defender.
440
00:18:52,510 --> 00:18:54,075
[scoffs]
441
00:18:54,076 --> 00:18:55,468
- What are you doing here?
- I read through the charge sheet
442
00:18:55,469 --> 00:18:56,730
on the way over here.
443
00:18:56,731 --> 00:18:58,819
You guys made entry
without probable cause.
444
00:18:58,820 --> 00:19:00,125
We heard what we took
to be a child.
445
00:19:00,126 --> 00:19:02,301
A barking labradoodle.
446
00:19:02,302 --> 00:19:05,086
Your client is suspected of
abducting a six-year-old girl.
447
00:19:05,087 --> 00:19:07,567
And your evidence
is peanut butter and bananas.
448
00:19:07,568 --> 00:19:09,830
She's torpedoing them.
449
00:19:09,831 --> 00:19:11,571
Even if you had something
more substantial,
450
00:19:11,572 --> 00:19:13,704
- none of this would be admissible in court.
- [Owens] Thank you.
451
00:19:13,705 --> 00:19:15,053
This is what I've been
trying to tell...
452
00:19:15,054 --> 00:19:16,316
- Be quiet.
- Shut up.
453
00:19:17,709 --> 00:19:18,839
You don't have anything
on my client.
454
00:19:18,840 --> 00:19:19,884
You need to let him go.
455
00:19:19,885 --> 00:19:21,233
A word?
456
00:19:21,234 --> 00:19:23,236
Outside.
457
00:19:29,460 --> 00:19:30,982
[door closes]
458
00:19:30,983 --> 00:19:32,636
What in God's name, Annie?
459
00:19:32,637 --> 00:19:35,421
That man abducted
a six-year-old child.
460
00:19:35,422 --> 00:19:36,814
- Allegedly.
- A little girl.
461
00:19:36,815 --> 00:19:38,032
And she's out there somewhere.
462
00:19:38,033 --> 00:19:39,251
Those O.J. cops
463
00:19:39,252 --> 00:19:40,818
did a better job
of collecting evidence.
464
00:19:40,819 --> 00:19:42,472
You want to find her?
465
00:19:42,473 --> 00:19:43,864
Do your job properly.
466
00:19:43,865 --> 00:19:45,300
For God's sakes.
467
00:19:45,301 --> 00:19:48,303
The best chance we have
to find this little girl
468
00:19:48,304 --> 00:19:51,437
is to convince that man to
talk, but you're letting him walk.
469
00:19:51,438 --> 00:19:53,744
I'm not letting him, the law is.
470
00:19:53,745 --> 00:19:55,006
Even if he's guilty,
471
00:19:55,007 --> 00:19:56,224
he's not gonna
say anything anyway.
472
00:19:56,225 --> 00:19:58,444
Thanks to you.
473
00:19:58,445 --> 00:20:00,403
I will fight to maintain
my client's innocent
474
00:20:00,404 --> 00:20:01,665
until you prove
475
00:20:01,666 --> 00:20:03,101
beyond a reasonable
doubt that he is guilty.
476
00:20:03,102 --> 00:20:05,190
Those are our jobs.
477
00:20:05,191 --> 00:20:08,019
I want to find this little
girl as much as you do.
478
00:20:08,020 --> 00:20:09,368
- You could have fooled me.
- David, we are
479
00:20:09,369 --> 00:20:10,717
- [door opens]
- on the same side here.
480
00:20:10,718 --> 00:20:12,415
[sighs]
Cut Mr. Owens loose.
481
00:20:12,416 --> 00:20:13,677
Your wife is right.
482
00:20:13,678 --> 00:20:16,027
- We can't hang on to him.
- Owens isn't about
483
00:20:16,028 --> 00:20:18,769
to have a "come to Jesus"
moment and start yapping.
484
00:20:18,770 --> 00:20:20,161
We're better off letting him go.
485
00:20:20,162 --> 00:20:21,380
We'll keep him
under surveillance.
486
00:20:21,381 --> 00:20:22,468
Maybe he'll lead us to Gracie.
487
00:20:22,469 --> 00:20:24,035
If he knows
he's under a microscope,
488
00:20:24,036 --> 00:20:25,558
he's not gonna take any risks.
489
00:20:25,559 --> 00:20:29,257
- You let him walk, we lose our shot.
- Not necessarily.
490
00:20:29,258 --> 00:20:31,259
Powell and Gamble are still
digging into Owens.
491
00:20:31,260 --> 00:20:33,131
There's a chance
they'll find something
492
00:20:33,132 --> 00:20:34,828
and we just take
another run at him.
493
00:20:34,829 --> 00:20:36,178
I'll update Gracie's mom.
494
00:20:46,972 --> 00:20:49,669
[sighs]
Okay. Got it.
495
00:20:49,670 --> 00:20:51,018
That was RHD.
496
00:20:51,019 --> 00:20:52,672
The landlord let them
into the neighbor's house.
497
00:20:52,673 --> 00:20:53,891
No sign of Gracie.
498
00:20:53,892 --> 00:20:55,240
No white Honda
in the garage either.
499
00:20:55,241 --> 00:20:56,589
You find anything on Owens?
500
00:20:56,590 --> 00:20:59,418
No. He's more than
vanilla. He's tofu.
501
00:20:59,419 --> 00:21:01,681
Degree in accounting.
No wife, no kids.
502
00:21:01,682 --> 00:21:02,900
According to his LinkedIn,
he volunteers
503
00:21:02,901 --> 00:21:04,815
at a humane society
and counts bird-watching
504
00:21:04,816 --> 00:21:07,427
and growing vegetables
as his hobbies.
505
00:21:08,776 --> 00:21:11,778
What if I'm wrong?
506
00:21:11,779 --> 00:21:14,955
What if he is just a normal guy
who's into birds and vegetables?
507
00:21:14,956 --> 00:21:17,218
I mean, a lot of people like
peanut butter banana sandwiches
508
00:21:17,219 --> 00:21:18,698
and-and strawberry milk.
509
00:21:18,699 --> 00:21:20,352
Why... what if someone
else snatched Gracie
510
00:21:20,353 --> 00:21:21,701
and we're just wasting our time?
511
00:21:21,702 --> 00:21:25,749
I am not doubting your gut
for a second, Powell.
512
00:21:25,750 --> 00:21:28,142
You shouldn't, either.
A woman's intuition
513
00:21:28,143 --> 00:21:29,274
plus a cop's sixth sense?
514
00:21:29,275 --> 00:21:31,320
Winning combo, if you ask me.
515
00:21:35,716 --> 00:21:37,151
How'd it go with Owens?
516
00:21:37,152 --> 00:21:38,370
He crack?
517
00:21:38,371 --> 00:21:39,458
He say anything about Gracie?
518
00:21:39,459 --> 00:21:42,200
No.
We're letting him go.
519
00:21:42,201 --> 00:21:44,333
Was it because of
the entry I made?
520
00:21:49,817 --> 00:21:51,210
Is that Annie?
521
00:21:52,298 --> 00:21:53,428
[Deacon]
Yeah.
522
00:21:53,429 --> 00:21:55,082
She drew the short straw.
523
00:21:55,083 --> 00:21:56,563
She's Owens' public defender.
524
00:22:00,306 --> 00:22:02,307
You still doubt your gut?
525
00:22:02,308 --> 00:22:05,005
Not for a second.
That bastard took her.
526
00:22:05,006 --> 00:22:08,531
Yeah.
And he knows that we know,
527
00:22:08,532 --> 00:22:10,359
and that we can't
do anything about it.
528
00:22:16,876 --> 00:22:18,486
Deputy Chief, may I
529
00:22:18,542 --> 00:22:19,846
- have a word, please?
- Officer Gamble.
530
00:22:19,847 --> 00:22:21,357
I assume you've spoken
with Commander Hicks?
531
00:22:21,382 --> 00:22:23,644
About these lies
going around about me?
532
00:22:23,669 --> 00:22:25,453
Do I at least get
a chance to defend myself?
533
00:22:25,478 --> 00:22:27,348
You'll get a chance to
respond to the allegations
534
00:22:27,373 --> 00:22:29,679
once the investigation
is underway.
535
00:22:29,704 --> 00:22:31,574
All due respect, word gets out
536
00:22:31,599 --> 00:22:33,295
that I am being investigated
for corruption
537
00:22:33,320 --> 00:22:34,756
and my career is over.
538
00:22:34,819 --> 00:22:36,167
Look, if you're innocent,
it won't even matter.
539
00:22:36,168 --> 00:22:38,256
I am innocent.
540
00:22:38,257 --> 00:22:40,084
- There's no "if."
- You associate
541
00:22:40,085 --> 00:22:41,781
with known criminals.
542
00:22:41,782 --> 00:22:43,827
- That's not exactly a good look for a police officer.
- I was
543
00:22:43,828 --> 00:22:46,264
having chicken wings
and some beers with my family.
544
00:22:46,265 --> 00:22:49,224
I was not tipping anyone off
about a police raid.
545
00:22:50,312 --> 00:22:52,749
Is this really about that?
546
00:22:52,750 --> 00:22:54,054
What else would it be about?
547
00:22:54,055 --> 00:22:55,752
Commander Hicks.
548
00:22:55,753 --> 00:22:57,188
I know you don't like him.
549
00:22:57,189 --> 00:22:58,537
But using me
550
00:22:58,538 --> 00:23:00,713
to get to him
for some personal vendetta...
551
00:23:00,714 --> 00:23:03,021
Officer Gamble, do I need
to remind you of your rank?
552
00:23:04,631 --> 00:23:06,937
No.
553
00:23:06,938 --> 00:23:10,636
Can I remind you that you were
once in my position?
554
00:23:10,637 --> 00:23:15,032
Are you really gonna
throw me under the bus?
555
00:23:15,033 --> 00:23:16,903
Well, I wouldn't disagree
with anyone who thought
556
00:23:16,904 --> 00:23:18,862
Hicks' reign at
SWAT had gone past
557
00:23:18,863 --> 00:23:20,907
its expiration date,
but this investigation
558
00:23:20,908 --> 00:23:22,779
is a totally separate issue.
559
00:23:22,780 --> 00:23:24,519
It's about my not
tolerating corruption
560
00:23:24,520 --> 00:23:26,521
within the LAPD ranks.
561
00:23:26,522 --> 00:23:29,350
How many times
do I need to say it?
562
00:23:29,351 --> 00:23:30,831
I'm clean.
563
00:23:31,919 --> 00:23:34,007
You know, I really,
564
00:23:34,008 --> 00:23:35,880
really hope that's the case.
565
00:23:40,014 --> 00:23:41,407
Do you?
566
00:23:50,285 --> 00:23:51,330
Hey.
567
00:23:51,722 --> 00:23:52,897
You okay?
568
00:23:54,333 --> 00:23:56,116
What if I screwed up
our only chance
569
00:23:56,117 --> 00:23:58,728
at finding this little girl?
570
00:23:58,729 --> 00:24:00,730
Powell, you might be the
only reason we have a chance
571
00:24:00,731 --> 00:24:02,253
at finding her.
572
00:24:02,254 --> 00:24:04,690
Your hunch led us
to the suspect.
573
00:24:04,691 --> 00:24:05,909
Owens knows
we'll be watching him.
574
00:24:05,910 --> 00:24:07,432
He's not gonna do anything now.
575
00:24:07,433 --> 00:24:11,436
I can't tell if that's better
for Gracie or worse.
576
00:24:11,437 --> 00:24:14,439
If Gracie is still alive,
that means she's likely safe
577
00:24:14,440 --> 00:24:17,311
- for the moment.
- Locked up somewhere,
578
00:24:17,312 --> 00:24:18,530
terrified and alone.
579
00:24:18,531 --> 00:24:19,749
Hondo, the world is huge.
580
00:24:19,750 --> 00:24:21,795
She could be anywhere.
581
00:24:24,319 --> 00:24:26,495
You and I both know
how most of these cases end.
582
00:24:28,454 --> 00:24:30,194
You felt something was off
with the suspect.
583
00:24:30,195 --> 00:24:33,110
You followed that hunch
and now we have a real lead.
584
00:24:33,111 --> 00:24:34,894
There is a time
585
00:24:34,895 --> 00:24:37,115
to call it quits,
and that time ain't here yet.
586
00:24:43,730 --> 00:24:46,340
Finally got ahold of Stephen Owens'
neighbor... the one on the cruise.
587
00:24:46,341 --> 00:24:47,646
Says he didn't take his car
to Long Beach.
588
00:24:47,647 --> 00:24:48,995
He left it at home
589
00:24:48,996 --> 00:24:50,301
- in the garage.
- Yeah, but the car wasn't there
590
00:24:50,302 --> 00:24:51,519
when RHD checked the house.
591
00:24:51,520 --> 00:24:53,347
Owens must have used it
to abduct Gracie,
592
00:24:53,348 --> 00:24:55,001
- just like Powell guessed.
- Mm-hmm.
593
00:24:55,002 --> 00:24:56,220
We find the car,
we might find the girl.
594
00:24:56,221 --> 00:24:58,048
We won't find it.
He's covering his tracks.
595
00:24:58,049 --> 00:24:59,571
Powell, you went
inside his house.
596
00:24:59,572 --> 00:25:00,703
Was there anything you saw
that could tell us
597
00:25:00,704 --> 00:25:01,791
who this guy is
598
00:25:01,792 --> 00:25:03,401
or where he might
have taken her?
599
00:25:03,402 --> 00:25:06,099
I was looking for Gracie. I
wasn't checking out the decor.
600
00:25:06,100 --> 00:25:07,535
What about photographs?
601
00:25:07,536 --> 00:25:09,146
Any sense that he has friends
or family come and stay?
602
00:25:09,147 --> 00:25:10,887
Anyone we might talk to?
603
00:25:10,888 --> 00:25:12,671
I wasn't looking for
anything like that.
604
00:25:12,672 --> 00:25:15,326
Besides, everything was,
like, weird, creepy landscapes.
605
00:25:15,327 --> 00:25:17,197
He had these
black-and-white photographs
606
00:25:17,198 --> 00:25:20,113
all across the wall with, like,
a farmhouse
607
00:25:20,114 --> 00:25:21,898
- or a barn, it...
- [Gamble] Hold up.
608
00:25:21,899 --> 00:25:23,727
Photos like this?
609
00:25:25,424 --> 00:25:27,077
Yes, exactly like that.
610
00:25:27,078 --> 00:25:28,818
- How did you find them?
- Owens is a tax accountant.
611
00:25:28,819 --> 00:25:30,602
I was going through
his list of clients.
612
00:25:30,603 --> 00:25:31,734
One of them is a photographer,
613
00:25:31,735 --> 00:25:32,952
Denton Pryor.
614
00:25:32,953 --> 00:25:34,562
Dude thinks
he's Ansel Adams or something.
615
00:25:34,563 --> 00:25:35,999
Maybe the photos
are how Pryor pays
616
00:25:36,000 --> 00:25:37,478
for getting his taxes done.
617
00:25:37,479 --> 00:25:39,394
Click on "other work."
618
00:25:41,527 --> 00:25:43,442
Pryor takes
school portraits, too.
619
00:25:45,400 --> 00:25:46,574
Pryor's logo.
620
00:25:46,575 --> 00:25:48,446
He took Gracie's school picture.
621
00:25:48,447 --> 00:25:49,664
So, this guy, Denton Pryor
622
00:25:49,665 --> 00:25:51,318
and our guy Stephen Owens
know each other.
623
00:25:51,319 --> 00:25:52,667
Which means
they could be accomplices.
624
00:25:52,668 --> 00:25:54,104
Who abducted Gracie together.
625
00:25:54,105 --> 00:25:56,802
Denton Pryor has
a previous arrest in Arizona
626
00:25:56,803 --> 00:25:58,499
for inappropriate contact
with a child.
627
00:25:58,500 --> 00:25:59,674
Pleaded guilty
to a lesser charge,
628
00:25:59,675 --> 00:26:01,067
did some community service,
629
00:26:01,068 --> 00:26:02,286
then left town.
630
00:26:02,287 --> 00:26:03,591
So, Pryor lives in Venice,
631
00:26:03,592 --> 00:26:05,724
his studio is a few blocks away,
632
00:26:05,725 --> 00:26:07,595
which means Gracie
could be at either.
633
00:26:07,596 --> 00:26:08,858
It's circumstantial,
634
00:26:08,859 --> 00:26:10,424
but it's got to be
enough to get a warrant.
635
00:26:10,425 --> 00:26:11,686
I'll call a judge.
636
00:26:11,687 --> 00:26:12,862
We will split up,
check 'em both.
637
00:26:12,863 --> 00:26:14,473
Let's roll.
638
00:26:18,912 --> 00:26:20,913
LAPD with a search warrant.
639
00:26:20,914 --> 00:26:22,133
Tan.
640
00:26:27,734 --> 00:26:29,693
- Right side clear.
- Left side clear.
641
00:26:32,091 --> 00:26:33,701
Closet clear.
642
00:26:45,477 --> 00:26:46,478
[Hondo]
Go.
643
00:26:48,072 --> 00:26:51,291
Clear.
644
00:26:51,292 --> 00:26:53,206
- She's not here.
- [phone vibrates]
645
00:26:53,207 --> 00:26:54,817
It's Deacon.
646
00:26:54,818 --> 00:26:58,212
No sign of Pryor or Gracie
at his apartment, either.
647
00:27:01,041 --> 00:27:02,216
[gasps softly]
648
00:27:05,872 --> 00:27:07,787
Please don't let this
be what I think it is.
649
00:27:13,471 --> 00:27:15,341
The FBI have ID'd
the other four kids.
650
00:27:15,436 --> 00:27:18,525
They were all abducted,
first one back in 2018.
651
00:27:18,635 --> 00:27:20,549
Seems like Stephen
Owens and Denton Pryor
652
00:27:20,574 --> 00:27:22,271
have been doing this
for some time now,
653
00:27:22,296 --> 00:27:24,515
snatching a child
every 18 months or so.
654
00:27:26,052 --> 00:27:27,574
Hicks told the cops
sitting on Owens' house
655
00:27:27,575 --> 00:27:28,792
to bring him in for questioning.
656
00:27:28,793 --> 00:27:30,707
Good.
The gloves are off.
657
00:27:30,708 --> 00:27:32,274
We're getting answers
this round.
658
00:27:32,275 --> 00:27:34,320
Owens is not walking out
of here a second time.
659
00:27:34,321 --> 00:27:35,756
We also have a BOLO out
on Denton Pryor, too.
660
00:27:35,757 --> 00:27:37,453
- We'll get both of them.
- [phone chimes]
661
00:27:37,454 --> 00:27:39,238
Hopefully before they have a
chance to do anything to Gracie.
662
00:27:39,239 --> 00:27:40,978
It's a message from Hicks.
663
00:27:40,979 --> 00:27:44,504
Patrol unit sitting on Stephen
Owens' house just reported in.
664
00:27:44,505 --> 00:27:46,549
Come on.
He hopped a back fence.
665
00:27:46,550 --> 00:27:47,986
He's in the wind.
666
00:27:49,379 --> 00:27:50,859
[blows]
667
00:27:54,384 --> 00:27:55,776
What's the secret?
668
00:27:55,777 --> 00:27:57,212
'Cause I wouldn't mind
knowing it. How you dealt
669
00:27:57,213 --> 00:27:59,213
with those cases you couldn't
get out of your head?
670
00:28:00,434 --> 00:28:03,392
It ain't the ones we solve
that stick with us, Tan.
671
00:28:03,393 --> 00:28:05,568
It's the ones we don't.
672
00:28:05,569 --> 00:28:07,744
That's why you can't stop
thinking about Kanesha.
673
00:28:07,745 --> 00:28:11,139
Right. But if you can't
solve the case,
674
00:28:11,140 --> 00:28:12,533
how you let it go?
675
00:28:16,580 --> 00:28:19,756
I had a Kanesha story
like yours.
676
00:28:19,757 --> 00:28:21,062
Edward Miller.
677
00:28:21,063 --> 00:28:23,108
He was six years old.
678
00:28:23,109 --> 00:28:25,980
He went missing playing in
his front yard with his cousins.
679
00:28:25,981 --> 00:28:28,330
His grandmother thought he went
with his mother to the store.
680
00:28:28,331 --> 00:28:30,594
- Guessing they didn't find him.
- No.
681
00:28:32,814 --> 00:28:34,641
I was a beat cop at the time.
682
00:28:34,642 --> 00:28:36,295
There had a detective
assigned to the case,
683
00:28:36,296 --> 00:28:38,819
but a little Black kid going
missing at that time, it...
684
00:28:38,820 --> 00:28:40,516
it didn't cause much of a stir.
685
00:28:40,517 --> 00:28:42,562
Not sure much has changed.
686
00:28:42,563 --> 00:28:43,737
Edward's grandmother
and my grandmother
687
00:28:43,738 --> 00:28:45,086
went to same church,
688
00:28:45,087 --> 00:28:47,349
so I found myself
organizing search parties,
689
00:28:47,350 --> 00:28:50,004
talking to every CI
and sex offender in the system.
690
00:28:50,005 --> 00:28:51,745
But nothing.
691
00:28:51,746 --> 00:28:53,660
Tan, I felt so bad
that I couldn't
692
00:28:53,661 --> 00:28:55,619
bring that family peace that...
693
00:28:57,752 --> 00:28:59,579
I just avoided 'em.
694
00:28:59,580 --> 00:29:00,841
Hear you on that.
695
00:29:00,842 --> 00:29:02,321
It was my grandmother
696
00:29:02,322 --> 00:29:03,757
who eventually sat me down,
and she told me
697
00:29:03,758 --> 00:29:06,716
that my guilt
wasn't helping nobody.
698
00:29:06,717 --> 00:29:08,196
His family needed truth.
699
00:29:08,197 --> 00:29:10,721
So I went to Edward's folks...
700
00:29:11,809 --> 00:29:14,202
and I looked 'em
right in the eye.
701
00:29:14,203 --> 00:29:16,161
And I admitted that I didn't
think their little boy
702
00:29:16,162 --> 00:29:19,207
was ever coming home,
and it was hard,
703
00:29:19,208 --> 00:29:22,210
feeling like I had
completely crushed their hopes.
704
00:29:22,211 --> 00:29:25,171
But I saw that it actually
gave them some closure.
705
00:29:26,520 --> 00:29:27,608
And that...
706
00:29:29,044 --> 00:29:31,264
it gave me some, too.
707
00:29:33,091 --> 00:29:35,093
[indistinct chatter]
708
00:29:37,487 --> 00:29:38,792
[Deacon]
Annie.
709
00:29:38,793 --> 00:29:39,967
Trying to get ahold of you.
710
00:29:39,968 --> 00:29:41,577
I was in court.
My phone was off.
711
00:29:41,578 --> 00:29:42,926
It's about Stephen Owens.
712
00:29:42,927 --> 00:29:45,102
We found more evidence
that he abducted Gracie.
713
00:29:45,103 --> 00:29:47,279
Enough that a judge signed off
on an arrest warrant,
714
00:29:47,280 --> 00:29:48,584
but he's gone AWOL.
715
00:29:48,585 --> 00:29:50,369
Now, we traced his phone
back to his house,
716
00:29:50,370 --> 00:29:51,935
but he must have left it behind.
717
00:29:51,936 --> 00:29:54,416
If we don't catch up to him,
we may never find Gracie.
718
00:29:54,417 --> 00:29:55,635
Annie, did he say
anything to you,
719
00:29:55,636 --> 00:29:57,419
anything about where
he might be going
720
00:29:57,420 --> 00:29:59,073
- when he left HQ?
- He said he needed
721
00:29:59,074 --> 00:30:01,249
to check in on his dog,
but he didn't ditch his phone.
722
00:30:01,250 --> 00:30:03,164
- He texted me ten minutes ago.
- What?
723
00:30:03,165 --> 00:30:05,035
"Why are there cops
watching my house?
724
00:30:05,036 --> 00:30:07,037
Am I still under
investigation?"
725
00:30:07,038 --> 00:30:08,798
He's got a second phone
we didn't know about.
726
00:30:10,216 --> 00:30:11,433
We can trace it.
727
00:30:11,434 --> 00:30:13,175
- All right, I got to go.
- Okay.
728
00:30:16,352 --> 00:30:17,744
I heard the investigation
729
00:30:17,745 --> 00:30:19,528
into Officer Gamble
starts tomorrow.
730
00:30:19,529 --> 00:30:22,270
Oh, please, come on in.
731
00:30:22,271 --> 00:30:24,011
Have you decided yet
if you're going to bench her?
732
00:30:24,012 --> 00:30:25,839
[scoffs]
733
00:30:25,840 --> 00:30:28,320
I got too many people out sick.
734
00:30:28,321 --> 00:30:30,626
I can't afford to have
an officer counting bullets
735
00:30:30,627 --> 00:30:32,541
while the other ones
are in the firing line.
736
00:30:32,542 --> 00:30:33,760
You can't keep her in the field.
737
00:30:33,761 --> 00:30:35,457
No one will trust her
to have your back.
738
00:30:35,458 --> 00:30:36,850
We traced Stephen Owens'
second phone.
739
00:30:36,851 --> 00:30:38,068
He's at Union Station.
740
00:30:38,069 --> 00:30:39,419
What are you still
doing here? Go.
741
00:30:41,899 --> 00:30:43,465
I-I think I might have
742
00:30:43,466 --> 00:30:45,685
found something,
it's just a hunch.
743
00:30:45,686 --> 00:30:47,121
Let's hear it.
744
00:30:47,122 --> 00:30:50,167
Both perps are obsessed
with images of this farm.
745
00:30:50,168 --> 00:30:51,691
I think it's because
that's where
746
00:30:51,692 --> 00:30:53,083
they're taking the children.
747
00:30:53,084 --> 00:30:55,172
The photo's geotagged.
It's out in Simi Valley.
748
00:30:55,173 --> 00:30:57,392
I can't figure out who
the owner is, but what if
749
00:30:57,393 --> 00:30:58,785
this is where Gracie's at?
750
00:30:58,786 --> 00:31:00,221
I know it's just a hunch...
751
00:31:00,222 --> 00:31:01,309
The others can go
to Union Station.
752
00:31:01,310 --> 00:31:02,528
Take Tan and get out
to the farm.
753
00:31:02,529 --> 00:31:04,573
I'll dot your I's
and get you a warrant
754
00:31:04,574 --> 00:31:06,662
so you can search the place.
755
00:31:06,663 --> 00:31:09,578
[man] Remember to tap your card
before boarding.
756
00:31:09,579 --> 00:31:11,493
All right, Hicks alerted
station patrol cops
757
00:31:11,494 --> 00:31:13,408
to be on the lookout for Owens.
No sign so far.
758
00:31:13,409 --> 00:31:14,583
Could have hopped
a train already.
759
00:31:14,584 --> 00:31:16,455
His phone triangulated
just minutes ago.
760
00:31:16,456 --> 00:31:17,891
He's still within the building.
761
00:31:17,892 --> 00:31:19,371
All right, Gamble,
you and Stevens
762
00:31:19,372 --> 00:31:20,981
take the waiting room
and the platforms.
763
00:31:20,982 --> 00:31:23,811
We'll check out the main
concourse and ticket office.
764
00:31:42,525 --> 00:31:45,048
This is definitely the place.
765
00:31:45,049 --> 00:31:47,138
That barn was in
one of Pryor's photos.
766
00:31:51,752 --> 00:31:52,969
Doesn't seem like
anyone's been here
767
00:31:52,970 --> 00:31:55,711
in years.
768
00:31:55,712 --> 00:31:57,800
26-David, no sign of the
suspect in the waiting room.
769
00:31:57,801 --> 00:31:59,019
We'll try the platform.
770
00:31:59,020 --> 00:32:00,107
[Hondo]
Roger. No luck
771
00:32:00,108 --> 00:32:01,456
on the main concourse either.
772
00:32:01,457 --> 00:32:03,372
We're moving on
to the ticket office.
773
00:32:09,073 --> 00:32:10,074
Our white Honda.
774
00:32:13,556 --> 00:32:15,123
Gracie.
775
00:32:17,560 --> 00:32:19,953
She's got to be
around here somewhere.
776
00:32:19,954 --> 00:32:22,086
Let's look over there.
777
00:32:26,134 --> 00:32:27,788
Over here.
It's loose.
778
00:32:28,832 --> 00:32:30,356
[grunts]
779
00:32:39,147 --> 00:32:40,496
Gracie?
780
00:32:41,671 --> 00:32:42,933
Gracie, you here?
781
00:32:55,032 --> 00:32:56,382
Where the hell is she?
782
00:32:57,992 --> 00:32:59,385
Check out these marks.
783
00:33:00,516 --> 00:33:02,038
This was moved. Help me out.

Gracie.
787
00:33:21,668 --> 00:33:24,539
Hey. Okay.
788
00:33:24,540 --> 00:33:26,759
Are you okay?
789
00:33:26,760 --> 00:33:28,630
We're police officers.
We're here to help.
790
00:33:28,631 --> 00:33:30,850
You're safe now.
I'm gonna take you home
791
00:33:30,851 --> 00:33:32,068
to your mommy, okay?

793
00:33:33,723 --> 00:33:35,507
She's shackled to the bed.
794
00:33:35,508 --> 00:33:37,987
There are bolt cutters
in the car, I'll go get 'em.
795
00:33:37,988 --> 00:33:40,120
And I can use the car radio,
let HQ know we found her.
796
00:33:40,121 --> 00:33:41,949
There's no reception out here.

Hey, hey, hey, hey.
809
00:34:30,301 --> 00:34:31,911
That's not as easy
as it looks, man.
810
00:34:31,912 --> 00:34:34,217
You cut in the wrong place and
that windpipe gets in the way,
811
00:34:34,218 --> 00:34:36,350
you're only gonna pass out
from the pain.
812
00:34:36,351 --> 00:34:39,135
And you will wake up handcuffed
to a hospital bed.
813
00:34:39,136 --> 00:34:40,441
But if you actually know
how to do that correctly,
814
00:34:40,442 --> 00:34:41,616
I will put a bullet
through your shoulder
815
00:34:41,617 --> 00:34:43,139
before you can even try.
816
00:34:43,140 --> 00:34:44,793
And you will still wake up
handcuffed to a hospital bed.
817
00:34:44,794 --> 00:34:46,230
So, you choose.

More police are
on their way by now.

Your buddy Owens has been
arrested already, too.

Just let us go.
It's over.

Hey.

00:37:32,442 --> 00:37:34,226
You here to see Owens?
858
00:37:34,251 --> 00:37:35,729
I've already seen him.
859
00:37:35,941 --> 00:37:38,987
Left him writing his statement.
Could be a while.
860
00:37:38,988 --> 00:37:40,379
He came clean?
861
00:37:40,380 --> 00:37:42,294
Told him you found Gracie.
862
00:37:42,295 --> 00:37:44,296
He knew she'd be able
to identify him.
863
00:37:44,297 --> 00:37:45,559
So, he decided it was probably
864
00:37:45,560 --> 00:37:47,038
in his best interest
to start talking.
865
00:37:47,039 --> 00:37:48,686
You know a judge
won't show leniency.

Even if he gives up all
the info on the other crimes.

it wasn't on
the California side of town.
874
00:38:05,144 --> 00:38:07,668
Arizona.
875
00:38:07,669 --> 00:38:09,583
Death penalty.
876
00:38:09,584 --> 00:38:12,368
Ah, sometimes I hate my job
just having to defend people
877
00:38:12,369 --> 00:38:16,024
- that make me sick to my stomach.
- Hey, I'm sorry.
878
00:38:16,025 --> 00:38:18,156
And I'm sorry about earlier.
You were right.
879
00:38:18,157 --> 00:38:19,637
We are on the same team.
880
00:38:20,875 --> 00:38:22,876
I'm really sorry
about that O.J. comment.
881
00:38:22,901 --> 00:38:24,946
- That was low.
- [chuckles] Yeah,
882
00:38:24,947 --> 00:38:26,730
it was-it was harsh.
883
00:38:26,731 --> 00:38:29,124
But you doing
your job so well...
884
00:38:29,125 --> 00:38:31,648
that made us do our job better.
885
00:38:31,649 --> 00:38:33,476
It's how we got Gracie
back to her mom.
886
00:38:33,477 --> 00:38:35,304
Oh, that's a win for both of us.
887
00:38:35,305 --> 00:38:36,827
'Cause now I don't
have to prepare a defense
888
00:38:36,828 --> 00:38:37,959
for a child killer.
889
00:38:37,960 --> 00:38:39,787
Mm.
890
00:38:39,788 --> 00:38:41,484
- Shall we go home, see our kids?
- Yeah.
891
00:38:41,485 --> 00:38:43,356
- Yes, please.
- All right.
892
00:38:51,060 --> 00:38:54,453
Commander. I'm just now
finding out there's gonna be
893
00:38:54,454 --> 00:38:56,455
an investigation into Gamble?
You didn't think to tell me?
894
00:38:56,456 --> 00:38:58,066
- It's been a busy day.
- These are
895
00:38:58,067 --> 00:39:00,503
career-ending accusations.
Where the hell is the evidence?
896
00:39:00,504 --> 00:39:02,984
[Bennett] Gamble went to
visit her family.
897
00:39:02,985 --> 00:39:05,726
The next day, a police raid on
their stash house came up empty.
898
00:39:05,727 --> 00:39:07,684
Sounds like a whole lot
of speculation to me.
899
00:39:07,685 --> 00:39:09,033
She was visiting family.
900
00:39:09,034 --> 00:39:10,383
That doesn't
make her a criminal.
901
00:39:11,646 --> 00:39:13,690
I took in Darryl
after he got out of juvie
902
00:39:13,691 --> 00:39:15,823
while his father was in prison.
903
00:39:15,824 --> 00:39:17,694
I went into business
with Darryl and Leroy
904
00:39:17,695 --> 00:39:20,479
after he got out.
Does that make me a criminal?
905
00:39:20,480 --> 00:39:21,872
You gonna investigate
me as well?
906
00:39:21,873 --> 00:39:22,960
I know you want
to believe Gamble,
907
00:39:22,961 --> 00:39:25,964
but could you
100% vouch for her?
908
00:39:27,313 --> 00:39:28,487
Yes.
909
00:39:28,488 --> 00:39:30,794
It's okay not to be certain.
910
00:39:30,795 --> 00:39:32,535
In fact, I want my officers
911
00:39:32,536 --> 00:39:33,841
to entertain some doubt.
912
00:39:33,842 --> 00:39:35,277
Oh, yeah, that's funny.
913
00:39:35,278 --> 00:39:36,452
Because I don't see you
doing none of that
914
00:39:36,453 --> 00:39:37,888
when it comes to Gamble.
915
00:39:37,889 --> 00:39:39,368
[Hicks] That's why it's
better to investigate.
916
00:39:39,369 --> 00:39:42,676
If Gamble's innocent,
this will all get worked out.
917
00:39:42,677 --> 00:39:45,243
"If."
You too?
918
00:39:45,244 --> 00:39:47,550
And I'm benching Gamble
until the inquiry's done.
919
00:39:47,551 --> 00:39:48,986
Sir, if you pull her
920
00:39:48,987 --> 00:39:50,205
from active duty,
921
00:39:50,206 --> 00:39:51,641
people are gonna
automatically assume
922
00:39:51,642 --> 00:39:53,034
she's done something wrong.
923
00:39:53,035 --> 00:39:54,470
I'll connect with you tomorrow.
924
00:39:54,471 --> 00:39:56,254
And I expect both of you
925
00:39:56,255 --> 00:39:58,475
to accept the findings
of this investigation.
926
00:40:03,001 --> 00:40:04,741
And if Gamble's guilty...
927
00:40:04,742 --> 00:40:06,875
You'll expect me
to fall on my sword.
928
00:40:08,706 --> 00:40:10,141
[short chuckle]
929
00:40:10,166 --> 00:40:13,516
I think she'd prefer
to disembowel me herself.
930
00:40:13,838 --> 00:40:16,361
You want to tell Gamble
she's benched or shall I?
931
00:40:16,362 --> 00:40:19,103
You should have
had Gamble's back.
932
00:40:19,104 --> 00:40:20,757
Like you just did?
933
00:40:20,758 --> 00:40:23,499
I saw you hesitate
when Bennett asked
934
00:40:23,500 --> 00:40:26,589
if you'd stake your reputation
and the team's on Gamble.
935
00:40:26,590 --> 00:40:30,332
When I gave you carte blanche
to pick someone for the team,
936
00:40:30,333 --> 00:40:32,769
that wasn't a go-ahead
to throw a human grenade
937
00:40:32,770 --> 00:40:34,598
into the middle of SWAT!
938
00:40:36,556 --> 00:40:38,383
Now, Bennett's gonna
use this as an excuse
939
00:40:38,384 --> 00:40:40,821
to come in here
with her witch's broom
940
00:40:40,822 --> 00:40:42,431
and do a clean sweep
through SWAT.
941
00:40:42,432 --> 00:40:45,304
So what?
We ain't got nothing to hide.
942
00:40:47,219 --> 00:40:48,568
All these years.
943
00:40:49,918 --> 00:40:51,832
Are you telling me
you're still that naive
944
00:40:51,833 --> 00:40:53,835
about the way the world works?
945
00:40:56,185 --> 00:40:57,926
You're dismissed.
946
00:41:03,235 --> 00:41:05,194
[door opens, closes]
947
00:41:13,942 --> 00:41:16,074
Hey, Mrs. Marks.
948
00:41:17,510 --> 00:41:19,034
Officer Tan.
949
00:41:20,209 --> 00:41:21,688
You got news on my Kanesha?
950
00:41:21,689 --> 00:41:24,125
I'm sorry.
I wish I did.
951
00:41:24,126 --> 00:41:25,735
I was just
thinking about her today,
952
00:41:25,736 --> 00:41:27,956
and wondering
how you were getting on.
953
00:41:28,552 --> 00:41:31,249
Well... Want to come in?
954
00:41:31,468 --> 00:41:32,860
I got some iced tea
in the fridge.
955
00:41:33,509 --> 00:41:35,598
That'd be great.
956
00:41:38,140 --> 00:41:39,315
[door closes]
957
00:41:43,972 --> 00:41:47,394
