00:00:17,059 --> 00:00:18,310
Stop! LAPD!

00:00:26,402 --> 00:00:28,654
-Down, lady.
-[exclaims, screams]
7
00:00:33,367 --> 00:00:34,827
[suspect grunts]
8
00:00:56,849 --> 00:00:58,767
-Stay down.
-[grunting]
9
00:00:58,768 --> 00:01:00,560
-Stay, stay.
-[breathes shakily]
10
00:01:00,561 --> 00:01:01,936
You okay?
11
00:01:01,937 --> 00:01:03,813
-[panting] Yeah, I'm fine.
-[suspect grunts, groans]
12
00:01:03,814 --> 00:01:05,732
Windel here's gonna
need a doctor though.
13
00:01:05,733 --> 00:01:07,066
-[grunts]
-[radio chatter]
14
00:01:07,067 --> 00:01:10,112
-4-King-80, we need an RA. My location.
-[Windel groans]
15
00:01:11,280 --> 00:01:15,450
Black, male, conscious and,
uh... [panting] ...breathing.
16
00:01:15,451 --> 00:01:17,620
[operator on radio] Copy,
4-King. RA to your location.
17
00:01:20,414 --> 00:01:21,414
Jesus, Ballard.
18
00:01:21,415 --> 00:01:22,624
[panting]
19
00:01:22,625 --> 00:01:27,587
I thought... [grunts] ...cold
cases were gonna be safer.
20
00:01:27,588 --> 00:01:28,672
[panting]
21
00:01:30,466 --> 00:01:33,636
Yeah, well, I think that may
have been some wishful thinking.
22
00:01:51,737 --> 00:01:52,987
Honey, you didn't have to wait.
23
00:01:52,988 --> 00:01:55,991
Oh, just got out of my
interview five minutes ago.
24
00:01:56,575 --> 00:01:57,575
Plus, you're my ride.
25
00:01:57,576 --> 00:01:59,494
Ah. [chuckles]
26
00:01:59,495 --> 00:02:00,662
How'd it go?
27
00:02:00,663 --> 00:02:04,207
[clicks tongue] Prelim should show
my actions were within policy,
28
00:02:04,208 --> 00:02:06,876
but I gotta sit for a psych
eval before I head in.
29
00:02:06,877 --> 00:02:08,378
[sighs]
30
00:02:08,379 --> 00:02:10,922
It's worth it, knowing we
got Windel dead to rights.
31
00:02:10,923 --> 00:02:12,340
Agreed.
32
00:02:12,341 --> 00:02:14,802
Just, uh, watch your back.
33
00:02:15,594 --> 00:02:17,262
[inhales sharply] The
two guys who grilled me
34
00:02:17,263 --> 00:02:21,934
asked a lot of questions about you
in a digging-for-dirt kinda way.
35
00:02:23,686 --> 00:02:24,978
Good to know.
36
00:02:24,979 --> 00:02:26,313
Breakfast of champions?
37
00:02:27,189 --> 00:02:30,733
Maybe not, but we took on a whole
lot of bad business last night.
38
00:02:30,734 --> 00:02:32,111
A little good won't kill me.
39
00:02:33,320 --> 00:02:36,115
["Weary" playing]
40
00:03:16,822 --> 00:03:18,532
[sighs]
41
00:03:27,958 --> 00:03:30,543
You know, most cops would take the
day off after the night you had.
42
00:03:30,544 --> 00:03:33,213
[scoffs] You're still
getting to know me.
43
00:03:47,436 --> 00:03:49,188
[song continues]
44
00:04:00,741 --> 00:04:01,824
Oh.
45
00:04:01,825 --> 00:04:04,327
-You gave us a scare.
-Oh.
46
00:04:04,328 --> 00:04:07,288
Colleen's been mainlining local
news since she got in this morning.
47
00:04:07,289 --> 00:04:08,457
I'm a worrywart.
48
00:04:09,083 --> 00:04:10,960
Well, at least Windel
is off the street.
49
00:04:11,585 --> 00:04:12,794
Yeah.
50
00:04:12,795 --> 00:04:15,589
I mean, I wish it didn't
take ten years, but yeah.
51
00:04:23,389 --> 00:04:24,473
[sighs]
52
00:04:31,397 --> 00:04:32,773
Our first closed case.
53
00:04:33,399 --> 00:04:36,776
[stammers] I was gonna make a cake, but
I didn't know if anyone was gluten-free.
54
00:04:36,777 --> 00:04:38,736
Gluten-free is not a
real thing, Colleen.
55
00:04:38,737 --> 00:04:39,904
Uh, I'm pretty sure it is.
56
00:04:39,905 --> 00:04:41,572
And you know the case isn't
actually closed, right?
57
00:04:41,573 --> 00:04:43,324
It's just up to the courts now.
58
00:04:43,325 --> 00:04:44,535
Well, someone's cranky.
59
00:04:45,202 --> 00:04:46,495
Anyway, it doesn't matter.
60
00:04:52,543 --> 00:04:53,544
Here.
61
00:04:54,628 --> 00:04:56,296
Detective, the honors.
62
00:04:56,880 --> 00:04:58,340
I-I cleared the shelves.
63
00:05:02,720 --> 00:05:05,389
Figured we should
have a special place.
64
00:05:11,562 --> 00:05:12,730
[Ballard grunts]
65
00:05:14,398 --> 00:05:15,399
[sighs]
66
00:05:19,111 --> 00:05:21,612
Martina, where are the boxes I
brought from Property yesterday?
67
00:05:21,613 --> 00:05:24,491
-[stammers] They were there. I didn't...
-Just taking a peek.
68
00:05:24,992 --> 00:05:26,452
Not much to see really.
69
00:05:28,996 --> 00:05:31,831
Question. Out of all the cases, the
thousands of cases to choose from,
70
00:05:31,832 --> 00:05:32,999
why this one?
71
00:05:33,000 --> 00:05:34,709
You're welcome to find
one to work on your own.
72
00:05:34,710 --> 00:05:38,004
I'm just saying, it's got none of the
things that make it simple to close.
73
00:05:38,005 --> 00:05:40,089
No DNA, no prints, no ID.
74
00:05:40,090 --> 00:05:42,467
Just a body in the mountains
with a bullet in the head.
75
00:05:42,468 --> 00:05:44,594
Cases like that tend to
fall through the cracks.
76
00:05:44,595 --> 00:05:47,473
That's why you gotta open 'em
up and give them a fair shake.
77
00:05:48,557 --> 00:05:50,099
Even if there's nothing
simple about 'em.
78
00:05:50,100 --> 00:05:51,768
I'm just asking
the hard questions.
79
00:05:51,769 --> 00:05:54,812
It seems like our, uh,
resources would be better served
80
00:05:54,813 --> 00:05:58,067
by solving crimes against the
actual citizens of LA. Hmm?
81
00:05:59,860 --> 00:06:00,903
This is weird.
82
00:06:05,616 --> 00:06:06,617
What's that?
83
00:06:07,618 --> 00:06:09,036
The other reason
I want this case.
84
00:06:14,666 --> 00:06:16,794
This is from a bus
station in San Diego.
85
00:06:18,170 --> 00:06:21,006
One of the last places
John Doe was seen alive.
86
00:06:22,299 --> 00:06:23,300
That's him.
87
00:06:25,761 --> 00:06:27,220
[gasps]
88
00:06:27,221 --> 00:06:28,722
That baby was never found.
89
00:06:29,223 --> 00:06:32,058
[Colleen] And what did the
investigating officer say?
90
00:06:32,059 --> 00:06:33,643
[Ballard] IO is
ducking my calls,
91
00:06:33,644 --> 00:06:38,106
and I'm anxious to get some context
because the book just seems off.
92
00:06:38,107 --> 00:06:39,774
-Like something's missing.
-[Colleen] Hmm.
93
00:06:39,775 --> 00:06:41,234
[Pearlman] This way.
94
00:06:41,235 --> 00:06:42,819
Councilman Pearlman.
95
00:06:42,820 --> 00:06:44,446
A word in your
office, Detective.
96
00:06:51,495 --> 00:06:54,789
You've been at it two weeks,
and already I'm getting heat.
97
00:06:54,790 --> 00:06:55,915
This is about last night.
98
00:06:55,916 --> 00:06:57,834
This is about the
officer-involved shooting
99
00:06:57,835 --> 00:06:59,043
that's all over the news.
100
00:06:59,044 --> 00:07:01,129
Well, I certainly wasn't
looking to get shot at,
101
00:07:01,130 --> 00:07:02,839
but aren't we missing
the headline here?
102
00:07:02,840 --> 00:07:04,757
We got a murderer
off the street.
103
00:07:04,758 --> 00:07:09,095
The point is, we'd like you to make
headlines that are less controversial.
104
00:07:09,096 --> 00:07:11,430
To that end, the primary
focus of this unit
105
00:07:11,431 --> 00:07:13,474
remains the murder of
Councilman's sister.
106
00:07:13,475 --> 00:07:15,476
-Which we are working.
-[stammers] Really?
107
00:07:15,477 --> 00:07:17,520
Because it looks like
a study hall out there.
108
00:07:17,521 --> 00:07:18,646
Pick up the pace.
109
00:07:18,647 --> 00:07:22,317
I am trying, but big surprise, people
don't really like working for free.
110
00:07:23,694 --> 00:07:27,905
All these applicants, they're
weirdos and wannabe podcasters.
111
00:07:27,906 --> 00:07:30,199
With more money, I could bring
in a second sworn officer.
112
00:07:30,200 --> 00:07:31,409
There is no more money.
113
00:07:31,410 --> 00:07:32,995
Well then, I'm stretched thin.
114
00:07:33,620 --> 00:07:36,789
The rest are reserves and
volunteers. I can only ask so much.
115
00:07:36,790 --> 00:07:39,125
-You question Brian Richmond yet?
-Not yet.
116
00:07:39,126 --> 00:07:41,586
I want something more
actionable before I do.
117
00:07:41,587 --> 00:07:45,131
He was the number one suspect in '01.
Ex-boyfriend with a broken heart.
118
00:07:45,132 --> 00:07:46,716
He killed her.
119
00:07:46,717 --> 00:07:48,677
Sounds pretty actionable to me.
120
00:07:49,803 --> 00:07:52,347
Look, I don't wanna burn
him until we know for sure.
121
00:07:53,182 --> 00:07:55,516
I've asked Latent Prints
for everything we have.
122
00:07:55,517 --> 00:07:57,518
I am reinterviewing
every witness.
123
00:07:57,519 --> 00:08:00,062
-We just need more time.
-[Pearlman] More time.
124
00:08:00,063 --> 00:08:05,360
Man, do you know how
infuriating it is to hear that?
125
00:08:08,739 --> 00:08:09,865
We have to go.
126
00:08:14,161 --> 00:08:15,204
[sighs]
127
00:08:16,121 --> 00:08:18,957
I heard from friends on the force
you weren't much of a team player.
128
00:08:20,751 --> 00:08:23,712
I'm hoping you see this as an
opportunity to prove them wrong.
129
00:08:34,097 --> 00:08:38,727
Just so we're absolutely
clear, this is your last stop.
130
00:08:39,603 --> 00:08:42,773
If you don't close Sarah's
case, all of this goes away.
131
00:08:43,815 --> 00:08:45,150
And you're done.
132
00:09:05,087 --> 00:09:06,296
You good?
133
00:09:09,174 --> 00:09:10,175
Yeah.
134
00:09:14,596 --> 00:09:15,930
Keep up the good work.
135
00:09:15,931 --> 00:09:17,599
Stop by any time.
136
00:09:18,892 --> 00:09:19,935
I'll walk you guys out.
137
00:09:30,570 --> 00:09:32,405
He kinda seems like a jerk.
138
00:09:32,406 --> 00:09:33,573
I bet he's an Aries.
139
00:09:34,783 --> 00:09:35,992
And Rawls is friends with him?
140
00:09:35,993 --> 00:09:37,493
Yeah. They go way back.
141
00:09:37,494 --> 00:09:39,287
-High school, I think.
-Mmm.
142
00:09:39,288 --> 00:09:40,913
Pearlman put him here
to keep an eye on me.
143
00:09:40,914 --> 00:09:43,417
[sighs] I knew
it. Classic Aries.
144
00:09:46,211 --> 00:09:47,462
Let me show you something.
145
00:09:52,217 --> 00:09:54,636
Jake made me copies
of their home videos.
146
00:09:55,429 --> 00:09:56,805
Oh, gosh.
147
00:10:00,058 --> 00:10:02,394
This one was the last
one taken of Sarah.
148
00:10:03,603 --> 00:10:04,896
Two weeks before she died.
149
00:10:09,359 --> 00:10:12,486
[Pearlman] I can't believe the
DMV actually gave you a license.
150
00:10:12,487 --> 00:10:14,739
I'm serious. You're like
a public safety hazard.
151
00:10:14,740 --> 00:10:16,824
Says the guy with
three speeding tickets.
152
00:10:16,825 --> 00:10:18,409
[Pearlman] I got you something.
153
00:10:18,410 --> 00:10:21,579
Figured you could keep it in your
glove box until you get accepted.
154
00:10:21,580 --> 00:10:22,664
Aw.
155
00:10:23,540 --> 00:10:25,708
You just don't want me to
follow you to Fullerton.
156
00:10:25,709 --> 00:10:27,877
[Pearlman] Come on. You can't
have a Fullerton diploma
157
00:10:27,878 --> 00:10:30,005
hanging on your wall when
you're big in politics.
158
00:10:30,881 --> 00:10:31,881
Listen,
159
00:10:31,882 --> 00:10:35,176
I do have one piece
of real advice.
160
00:10:35,177 --> 00:10:36,511
Don't ever forget.
161
00:10:37,220 --> 00:10:38,764
The brake is the
one on the left.
162
00:10:39,556 --> 00:10:41,099
[scoffs] You suck.
163
00:10:42,351 --> 00:10:44,144
[Pearlman] Watch
out, Los Angeles.
164
00:10:49,566 --> 00:10:51,109
Oh, it reminds me of my kids.
165
00:10:52,652 --> 00:10:53,652
So sad.
166
00:10:53,653 --> 00:10:56,865
Jake's the one who found her.
You've seen the crime scene photos.
167
00:10:57,949 --> 00:11:00,243
That's how he remembers
her, not like this.
168
00:11:00,744 --> 00:11:03,288
This is the reason
why he pushes so hard.
169
00:11:04,915 --> 00:11:06,124
He needs answers.
170
00:11:07,918 --> 00:11:10,586
Hey, did you, um, hear back from
that IO on the John Doe case?
171
00:11:10,587 --> 00:11:11,671
Nothing yet.
172
00:11:12,297 --> 00:11:14,716
[sighs] I'm tired of waiting
for her to get back to me.
173
00:11:15,467 --> 00:11:16,635
I'll call you later.
174
00:11:26,103 --> 00:11:27,103
[dance music playing]
175
00:11:27,104 --> 00:11:29,105
-[Ballard] Excuse me.
-[patrons chattering]
176
00:11:29,106 --> 00:11:30,732
Zamira Parker working tonight?
177
00:11:34,194 --> 00:11:35,195
Thank you.
178
00:11:37,989 --> 00:11:40,533
Zamira Parker?
Detective Renée Ballard.
179
00:11:40,534 --> 00:11:43,869
I've been trying to
track you down all day.
180
00:11:43,870 --> 00:11:46,705
I have some questions for you about
a John Doe case you worked in 2020.
181
00:11:46,706 --> 00:11:49,042
Sorry. Not interested.
182
00:11:49,918 --> 00:11:52,921
Yeah. I kinda got that message
when you didn't return my calls.
183
00:11:53,713 --> 00:11:54,922
Care to tell me why?
184
00:11:54,923 --> 00:11:57,676
'Cause LAPD's in my rearview,
and I'm not looking back.
185
00:11:58,385 --> 00:12:01,303
-Besides, that case wasn't going nowhere.
-Is that why your book is so thin?
186
00:12:01,304 --> 00:12:03,639
Bitch, I did my job.
187
00:12:03,640 --> 00:12:05,016
There was a baby.
188
00:12:06,143 --> 00:12:07,853
A critical missing
you left out there.
189
00:12:08,353 --> 00:12:11,939
I tried, but no one
saw it as a priority.
190
00:12:11,940 --> 00:12:14,067
I do. I'm reopening it.
191
00:12:14,568 --> 00:12:15,861
You want a cookie?
192
00:12:20,282 --> 00:12:22,701
In your chrono, you listed
four trips to that motel.
193
00:12:24,995 --> 00:12:26,413
You left something out.
194
00:12:28,123 --> 00:12:29,207
What makes you say that?
195
00:12:29,833 --> 00:12:31,793
What was it? Did
something happen?
196
00:12:39,217 --> 00:12:40,552
You wanna know what I left out?
197
00:12:41,761 --> 00:12:43,889
Somebody at the LAPD was
covering something up.
198
00:12:47,392 --> 00:12:48,642
Things didn't square up.
199
00:12:48,643 --> 00:12:52,146
We found a John Doe in the foothills,
and I tracked him back to this flophouse.
200
00:12:52,147 --> 00:12:53,856
-This random...
-The Sunbeam.
201
00:12:53,857 --> 00:12:55,065
That's the one.
202
00:12:55,066 --> 00:12:58,402
I start talking to
this guy. This burnout.
203
00:12:58,403 --> 00:13:01,197
He don't know anything about
the John Doe or the baby,
204
00:13:01,198 --> 00:13:04,575
but he tells me about an altercation
that happens the night before.
205
00:13:04,576 --> 00:13:06,702
You didn't put anything about
this in your murder book.
206
00:13:06,703 --> 00:13:08,955
He said people were
yelling in the parking lot.
207
00:13:09,539 --> 00:13:10,539
He goes out there,
208
00:13:10,540 --> 00:13:12,833
and he sees the motel manager
getting into it with some woman.
209
00:13:12,834 --> 00:13:15,211
Black-and-white shows
up. Hauls the lady off.
210
00:13:15,212 --> 00:13:17,046
Not unusual in a
place like that.
211
00:13:17,047 --> 00:13:19,256
-When I started...
-Hey, Z. It's crowded out here.
212
00:13:19,257 --> 00:13:20,466
We gotta open up.
213
00:13:20,467 --> 00:13:21,593
I need five minutes.
214
00:13:24,012 --> 00:13:26,723
When I start asking the
manager about the altercation,
215
00:13:27,349 --> 00:13:28,682
he gets real uncooperative.
216
00:13:28,683 --> 00:13:30,100
So I head back to the barn,
217
00:13:30,101 --> 00:13:33,730
and I start looking up all the 911
calls, any record of a roll-out.
218
00:13:34,272 --> 00:13:35,272
Nothing.
219
00:13:35,273 --> 00:13:36,815
Nothing in the sergeant's log?
220
00:13:36,816 --> 00:13:38,317
That's what I'm saying.
221
00:13:38,318 --> 00:13:41,320
Someone buried that 911
call and the roll-out.
222
00:13:41,321 --> 00:13:42,988
Now, who would wanna do that?
223
00:13:42,989 --> 00:13:44,990
That's why it's not in the book.
224
00:13:44,991 --> 00:13:48,244
If you suspect that the cops were
involved, why not try to prove it?
225
00:13:48,245 --> 00:13:49,328
Uh-huh.
226
00:13:49,329 --> 00:13:52,415
'Cause calling the LAPD out on
their shit always goes so well.
227
00:13:53,458 --> 00:13:55,251
Besides, I wasn't there
much longer after that.
228
00:13:55,252 --> 00:13:57,837
I quit, like a
week or two later.
229
00:14:00,340 --> 00:14:02,424
Only thing I regret is
leaving them cases behind.
230
00:14:02,425 --> 00:14:03,802
You want another shot at it?
231
00:14:04,719 --> 00:14:05,762
The John Doe case.
232
00:14:07,389 --> 00:14:10,641
Assuming you can keep your suspicions
about the department on the down-low.
233
00:14:10,642 --> 00:14:12,476
There's a reason I'm not
a cop anymore, Detective.
234
00:14:12,477 --> 00:14:14,521
I'm not asking you to
put the uniform back on.
235
00:14:15,564 --> 00:14:17,148
All right, just look
at the evidence.
236
00:14:18,149 --> 00:14:19,568
We could really use your take.
237
00:14:20,068 --> 00:14:21,069
[clicks tongue]
238
00:14:22,070 --> 00:14:23,071
I don't know.
239
00:14:24,698 --> 00:14:25,699
Okay.
240
00:14:31,371 --> 00:14:33,915
You know, that baby would
probably be six years old.
241
00:14:38,837 --> 00:14:40,088
Think about it.
242
00:14:43,550 --> 00:14:45,302
[partner] Thinking
about bringing her on?
243
00:14:45,844 --> 00:14:47,219
It crossed my mind.
244
00:14:47,220 --> 00:14:49,139
I'd have to reel her in slow.
245
00:14:50,348 --> 00:14:52,016
Oh, we're getting
a fridge tomorrow.
246
00:14:52,017 --> 00:14:56,979
So this Parker give you any idea why
she flamed out of RHD after six months?
247
00:14:56,980 --> 00:14:58,897
She did not. [clears throat]
248
00:14:58,898 --> 00:15:01,775
Probably drugs, right? Booze?
249
00:15:01,776 --> 00:15:02,860
Let's just wait and see.
250
00:15:02,861 --> 00:15:04,529
She might not even show up.
251
00:15:06,239 --> 00:15:09,950
Detective, that jewelry store homicide,
I think I have a new approach.
252
00:15:09,951 --> 00:15:13,996
It's 80 degrees in here. [sighs] I
swear to God, this thing is useless.
253
00:15:13,997 --> 00:15:16,749
[Colleen] I'm setting up eBay alerts
for the items that were stolen.
254
00:15:16,750 --> 00:15:19,126
Over 300 pieces, so
it'll take a while,
255
00:15:19,127 --> 00:15:21,545
but if anything matches
up, I'll get notified.
256
00:15:21,546 --> 00:15:23,756
Didn't that go
down in, like, '09?
257
00:15:23,757 --> 00:15:24,840
[Colleen] '07. Why?
258
00:15:24,841 --> 00:15:27,301
And you think the killer's just
now trying to unload those goods?
259
00:15:27,302 --> 00:15:28,637
Well, no.
260
00:15:29,262 --> 00:15:31,597
But it could give us
something to trace back.
261
00:15:31,598 --> 00:15:33,307
I have a really good
feeling about this.
262
00:15:33,308 --> 00:15:35,726
Whoa. It's like a
library in here.
263
00:15:35,727 --> 00:15:36,935
Parker.
264
00:15:36,936 --> 00:15:38,729
Glad you could make it in.
265
00:15:38,730 --> 00:15:41,358
I call it the Library
of Lost Souls.
266
00:15:41,983 --> 00:15:43,734
Zamira Parker, meet
Colleen Hatteras.
267
00:15:43,735 --> 00:15:45,194
-She's one of my volunteers.
-Hi.
268
00:15:45,195 --> 00:15:48,405
I met her last year when she came
to RHD with a theory on a case.
269
00:15:48,406 --> 00:15:49,490
Nobody wanted to listen to her
270
00:15:49,491 --> 00:15:51,200
because she doesn't have a
law enforcement background.
271
00:15:51,201 --> 00:15:53,869
Former soccer mom. Current
empty nester. [chuckles]
272
00:15:53,870 --> 00:15:55,789
[Ballard] But her
theory got us our guy.
273
00:15:56,748 --> 00:15:58,499
And this is Thomas Laffont.
274
00:15:58,500 --> 00:16:00,959
My first partner after
I made detective.
275
00:16:00,960 --> 00:16:04,088
He retired a few years ago, but I
pulled him back in as a reserve.
276
00:16:04,089 --> 00:16:05,339
[Parker] I remember your name.
277
00:16:05,340 --> 00:16:07,091
I was only in RHD
for a few months,
278
00:16:07,092 --> 00:16:09,510
but the guys would not stop
talking about your interviews.
279
00:16:09,511 --> 00:16:10,595
Just a few months, huh?
280
00:16:11,471 --> 00:16:12,638
Ted Rawls.
281
00:16:12,639 --> 00:16:13,807
Pleasure.
282
00:16:14,307 --> 00:16:15,432
Ted's a local business owner.
283
00:16:15,433 --> 00:16:19,019
Private security, but I've
been a reserve for 12 years.
284
00:16:19,020 --> 00:16:22,981
Councilman Pearlman thought Ballard
could use a little help down here.
285
00:16:22,982 --> 00:16:25,734
[chuckles] Okay. You
going in the field today?
286
00:16:25,735 --> 00:16:27,236
I wasn't planning to. Why?
287
00:16:27,237 --> 00:16:29,321
A lot of hardware for
a guy riding a desk.
288
00:16:29,322 --> 00:16:31,032
It's like you're
about to go to battle.
289
00:16:34,661 --> 00:16:37,913
Parker was the IO on the
John Doe case we just pulled.
290
00:16:37,914 --> 00:16:39,707
Thought I could use her input.
291
00:16:39,708 --> 00:16:42,711
I'm just looking at evidence. I'm
not here to knock on any doors.
292
00:16:43,545 --> 00:16:46,714
Copy that. Well, everything we
have is here and on the board.
293
00:16:46,715 --> 00:16:49,258
[Parker] You know, I called
this the Santa Muerte case
294
00:16:49,259 --> 00:16:51,802
after that figurine we found
in his bedroom at The Sunbeam?
295
00:16:51,803 --> 00:16:53,762
I wondered what that was.
296
00:16:53,763 --> 00:16:56,014
[Parker] Santa Muerte is a
folk saint out of Mexico.
297
00:16:56,015 --> 00:16:59,644
A lot of immigrants carry them.
They think they offer protection.
298
00:17:00,520 --> 00:17:01,603
Didn't much help here.
299
00:17:01,604 --> 00:17:04,022
[Ballard] Is that how you figured
our John Doe was undocumented?
300
00:17:04,023 --> 00:17:06,693
Yeah, I mean, there
wasn't a ton of detail.
301
00:17:07,360 --> 00:17:09,027
And the department was
focused on other cases.
302
00:17:09,028 --> 00:17:11,698
Makes sense. The killer's probably
already back across the border.
303
00:17:15,368 --> 00:17:17,703
Martina Castro,
meet Zamira Parker.
304
00:17:17,704 --> 00:17:20,873
Martina is our intern with
an eye towards law school.
305
00:17:20,874 --> 00:17:23,292
She's trying to get
this place organized.
306
00:17:23,293 --> 00:17:24,793
Is that from Latent Prints?
307
00:17:24,794 --> 00:17:26,920
All they've got on the
Sarah Pearlman crime scene.
308
00:17:26,921 --> 00:17:28,422
Thank you.
309
00:17:28,423 --> 00:17:29,590
Now, this one I've heard of.
310
00:17:29,591 --> 00:17:31,592
Yeah, Councilman
Pearlman's sister
311
00:17:31,593 --> 00:17:34,512
is why this unit's up and
running in the first place.
312
00:17:39,350 --> 00:17:40,977
This is footage from the scene.
313
00:17:46,941 --> 00:17:48,610
[Parker] It's like
a time capsule.
314
00:17:50,028 --> 00:17:51,029
They're all like that.
315
00:17:52,155 --> 00:17:53,363
We get to go back and forth,
316
00:17:53,364 --> 00:17:57,160
but the families, somehow,
they're always stuck back there.
317
00:17:58,411 --> 00:17:59,621
[Parker sighs]
318
00:18:04,751 --> 00:18:07,879
Sixteen. Strangled the night
before her Sadie Hawkins dance.
319
00:18:09,964 --> 00:18:11,757
Oh, what? Is that...
320
00:18:11,758 --> 00:18:12,841
Her retainer, yeah.
321
00:18:12,842 --> 00:18:14,552
She lost it during the struggle.
322
00:18:16,638 --> 00:18:17,638
You got the palm print.
323
00:18:17,639 --> 00:18:19,181
What palm print?
324
00:18:19,182 --> 00:18:21,433
It's from the window that
the killer climbed out of.
325
00:18:21,434 --> 00:18:22,601
I've been trying
to track it down
326
00:18:22,602 --> 00:18:23,727
-for a week.
-Oh.
327
00:18:23,728 --> 00:18:25,771
-It's a miracle it still exists.
-Yeah.
328
00:18:25,772 --> 00:18:28,691
Looks like it was a waste of time.
It's too smeared to be usable.
329
00:18:29,192 --> 00:18:30,651
I'm not thinking
about the print.
330
00:18:30,652 --> 00:18:33,029
Uh, I'm thinking about
the tape used to lift it.
331
00:18:34,239 --> 00:18:37,242
There's a chance that it grabbed
some DNA the killer left behind.
332
00:18:39,327 --> 00:18:41,454
-That's smart.
-That's what I said.
333
00:18:42,372 --> 00:18:44,874
Touch DNA has come a long
way since the early aughts.
334
00:18:46,084 --> 00:18:47,794
2001, you said?
335
00:18:48,503 --> 00:18:49,878
[Ballard] Yeah.
336
00:18:49,879 --> 00:18:52,256
[sighs] The dusting powder
tends to absorb oil,
337
00:18:52,257 --> 00:18:56,218
and 24 years later, sample's
gonna be pretty degraded.
338
00:18:56,219 --> 00:18:57,427
But you'll take a look at it?
339
00:18:57,428 --> 00:18:59,430
Sure, just don't
get your hopes up.
340
00:19:00,431 --> 00:19:02,641
What kind of timeline
you thinking?
341
00:19:02,642 --> 00:19:04,893
Thirty days, minimum.
Get used to 60.
342
00:19:04,894 --> 00:19:05,979
Sixty?
343
00:19:07,313 --> 00:19:09,857
This is for the Pearlman case.
You know, the councilman.
344
00:19:09,858 --> 00:19:11,692
You run the cold case unit?
345
00:19:11,693 --> 00:19:13,069
Yeah.
346
00:19:14,279 --> 00:19:16,030
I'll move it to the
front of the line.
347
00:19:17,949 --> 00:19:20,284
[Ballard] I'm sure the councilman
will really appreciate it.
348
00:19:20,285 --> 00:19:22,161
I'm not doing it
for the councilman.
349
00:19:22,829 --> 00:19:24,539
You're Detective Ballard, right?
350
00:19:26,124 --> 00:19:28,041
I heard about what
you did last year.
351
00:19:28,042 --> 00:19:29,127
Thought it was brave.
352
00:20:19,427 --> 00:20:20,929
[music playing in distance]
353
00:20:26,559 --> 00:20:27,602
Hey, baby girl.
354
00:20:28,603 --> 00:20:30,103
How you doing?

Lola, come on.
358
00:20:43,201 --> 00:20:45,869
Jesus, Tutu. You're gonna
bust an eardrum in here.
359
00:20:45,870 --> 00:20:50,708
The Menace had his workers there again.
Nothing but hammers and handsaws all day.
360
00:20:51,292 --> 00:20:52,418
Driving me nuts.
361
00:20:52,919 --> 00:20:54,420
Uh, grab me a Phillips-head.
362
00:20:55,088 --> 00:20:56,088
Where is it?
363
00:20:56,089 --> 00:20:58,715
I don't know. Look
around. Check the drawers.
364
00:20:58,716 --> 00:20:59,884
It's got a blue handle.
365
00:21:03,805 --> 00:21:05,681
You know, we could
just buy a new vacuum.
366
00:21:05,682 --> 00:21:09,142
[groans] Why are you laying
a beating on my kitchen?
367
00:21:09,143 --> 00:21:10,812
[grunting] Yeah.
368
00:21:12,855 --> 00:21:14,272
[sighs] What's wrong with you?
369
00:21:14,273 --> 00:21:15,483
Nothing.
370
00:21:19,487 --> 00:21:21,155
Oh, right. Perfect
place for that.
371
00:21:22,532 --> 00:21:24,533
You need to call that
lifeguard friend of yours.
372
00:21:24,534 --> 00:21:25,952
What's his name? Aaron?
373
00:21:26,661 --> 00:21:28,704
You're always more relaxed
after a night at his place.
374
00:21:28,705 --> 00:21:29,789
Tutu.
375
00:21:30,540 --> 00:21:31,540
What?
376
00:21:31,541 --> 00:21:33,500
A roll in the hay
always did it for me.
377
00:21:33,501 --> 00:21:35,378
Ugh. Still does.
378
00:21:35,878 --> 00:21:37,546
You know what, let's not, okay?
379
00:21:37,547 --> 00:21:38,755
Thanks. [sighs]
380
00:21:38,756 --> 00:21:41,633
Maybe you ought to let him
take you to dinner for once.
381
00:21:41,634 --> 00:21:42,885
Get to know him a little.
382
00:21:43,678 --> 00:21:45,762
Lord knows the only people
you ever get close to
383
00:21:45,763 --> 00:21:48,141
are those poor dead souls
in the cases you work.
384
00:21:49,017 --> 00:21:51,018
Oh, well, that explains
why I'm so close to you.
385
00:21:51,019 --> 00:21:53,395
You're halfway in the
grave already, Grandma.
386
00:21:53,396 --> 00:21:54,647
Ha!
387
00:21:59,485 --> 00:22:00,486
[Ballard chuckles]
388
00:22:06,409 --> 00:22:08,660
You know that "nothing"
that was bothering you?
389
00:22:08,661 --> 00:22:10,830
It have anything to do with
that business last year?
390
00:22:11,998 --> 00:22:13,624
A woman at the
lab brought it up.
391
00:22:15,626 --> 00:22:18,045
Do I need to have words
with this lab lady?
392
00:22:18,046 --> 00:22:19,881
[chuckles] No.
393
00:22:20,381 --> 00:22:21,382
She meant well.
394
00:22:24,135 --> 00:22:25,844
It's just that any time
someone mentions it,
395
00:22:25,845 --> 00:22:27,430
I feel like I'm
right back there.
396

[breathes deeply, clears throat]
397
00:22:32,351 --> 00:22:33,770

Remember me?

00:23:30,827 --> 00:23:32,828
I worked a murder back in 2020.
405
00:23:32,829 --> 00:23:34,622
Mexican guy. Had a baby.

Ringing any bells?

Yeah, I can see how we
all might blend together.
411
00:23:53,057 --> 00:23:55,393
Record like yours, you've
probably seen a lot of cops.

I'm curious to see if anybody
came around looking for him.
415
00:24:01,023 --> 00:24:05,069
You're asking about someone
who died, what, five years ago?
416
00:24:07,196 --> 00:24:09,448
No wonder you people
got such a stellar rep.
417
00:24:11,117 --> 00:24:12,409
I got nothing.
418
00:24:12,410 --> 00:24:14,619

So you get the same stuff you did
when you were actually on the job?
432
00:24:55,411 --> 00:24:56,494
Yeah, pretty much.

Get to carry a gun, badge, check
out equipment, drive a city ride.
434
00:25:02,501 --> 00:25:05,046
Sorry those perks don't
apply to the interns.
435
00:25:05,546 --> 00:25:07,881
Oh, I'm mostly here for the
college credit. [chuckles]

Uh-huh. What kind of law
are you interested in?
437
00:25:11,552 --> 00:25:13,429
Maybe corporate law or finance.
438
00:25:13,971 --> 00:25:15,972
And you chose this internship?

Well, I figured at
one of those big firms

whole semester restocking coffee pods.

She told you it
would be a long shot.

Hmm. We got a fridge.
445
00:25:28,945 --> 00:25:30,029
Yeah.

Starting to feel like a
real unit around here.
447
00:25:34,700 --> 00:25:37,744
Colleen, that's evidence. It
doesn't belong on your desk.
448
00:25:37,745 --> 00:25:39,537
I'm sorry, it's just...
449
00:25:39,538 --> 00:25:42,250
[stammers] I get some
weird energy off of it.
450
00:25:43,167 --> 00:25:45,293
Weird energy? What
does that mean?
451
00:25:45,294 --> 00:25:48,296
You know, uh, like...
like a sense of things.
452
00:25:48,297 --> 00:25:50,925
Thought it'd be good to keep it
close by while I work the case.
453
00:25:56,514 --> 00:25:58,099
Can I see you in
my office, please?
454
00:26:02,478 --> 00:26:03,479
Close the door.
455
00:26:06,691 --> 00:26:09,276
Please don't tell me you
think you're psychic. [sighs]
456
00:26:09,277 --> 00:26:15,031
[stammers] I have intuitions. I... I
know things about people. Like an empath.

00:26:15,032 --> 00:26:16,199
[sighs] Oh, my God.
458
00:26:16,200 --> 00:26:18,118
Is that a problem? I thought
it could be useful if I...
459
00:26:18,119 --> 00:26:20,453
Imagine this jewelry
store case goes to trial.
460
00:26:20,454 --> 00:26:24,041
If a defense attorney got wind of this,
they would eviscerate you on the stand.

I just don't want it
undermined by anything.
464
00:26:30,923 --> 00:26:35,719
[stammers] I understand. I'll
just... I'll keep this to myself.
465
00:26:35,720 --> 00:26:37,430
-Thank you. Yep.
-And I'll put the...
466
00:26:39,932 --> 00:26:41,017
[Ballard sighs]
467
00:26:42,518 --> 00:26:45,353
-Parker, good morning.
-Yeah, hey.
468
00:26:45,354 --> 00:26:47,981
I'm about to head to
that motel. The Sunbeam.
469
00:26:47,982 --> 00:26:49,066
Anything I should know?
470
00:26:50,067 --> 00:26:52,736
Um, actually, I just
stopped by there.
471
00:26:52,737 --> 00:26:53,821
Oh, really?
472
00:26:54,530 --> 00:26:56,615
And here I thought we
weren't knocking on doors.
473
00:26:57,658 --> 00:26:59,160
Yeah, uh, listen.
474
00:27:01,245 --> 00:27:04,457
Going back to that place,
it just reminded me, um...
475
00:27:05,666 --> 00:27:09,211
This thing dried up,
like, five years ago.
476
00:27:10,171 --> 00:27:12,173
What do you think we're
gonna get from it now?
477
00:27:13,174 --> 00:27:14,341
Well, I don't know.
478
00:27:14,342 --> 00:27:16,052
Past is always present.
479
00:27:16,886 --> 00:27:20,306
But if no one cares enough to
dig, then it just stays buried.
480
00:27:21,724 --> 00:27:23,184
I don't think this
is me anymore.
481
00:27:24,143 --> 00:27:25,603
You know, maybe it never was.
482
00:27:27,229 --> 00:27:28,563
What if you're wrong?
483
00:27:28,564 --> 00:27:30,024
You did go to that motel.
484
00:27:31,233 --> 00:27:32,610
So you do care.
485
00:27:34,737 --> 00:27:36,405
Look, just give me
a day of your time.
486
00:27:37,239 --> 00:27:38,532

-The lab got DNA off that print tape.
-You're kidding.

00:28:03,224 --> 00:28:05,350
The killer's DNA's been
there this whole time.
494
00:28:05,351 --> 00:28:06,684
[sighs] I know.
495
00:28:06,685 --> 00:28:09,062
Now we need to find a
profile to compare it to.
496
00:28:09,063 --> 00:28:11,648
-You still got a line on the ex-boyfriend?
-Brian Richmond?
497
00:28:11,649 --> 00:28:13,733
Pearlman sure
thinks he's our guy.
498
00:28:13,734 --> 00:28:15,902
[Laffont] Good luck getting
a warrant for his DNA.
499
00:28:15,903 --> 00:28:17,946
Even back then, they didn't
have enough probable cause.
500
00:28:17,947 --> 00:28:19,907
Oh, I'll get it some other way.

Nelson. I was just
about to call.
505
00:28:36,132 --> 00:28:40,511
I heard you're running some DNA
tests. Something about a palm print.
506
00:28:41,095 --> 00:28:43,346
Yeah, we found a palm
print in the case file.
507
00:28:43,347 --> 00:28:44,889
[Nelson] Does it match Richmond?
508
00:28:44,890 --> 00:28:47,143
Well, it's impossible
to say right now.
509
00:28:47,768 --> 00:28:51,104
[Nelson] Look, I don't want to hear
about this through the grapevine.
510

I want to hear it from you.
511
00:28:54,024 --> 00:28:56,860
Yeah, understood. We should have
something meaningful any minute now.
512
00:28:56,861 --> 00:28:58,027
You'll be the first to know.
513
00:28:58,028 --> 00:28:59,447
Fantastic.

00:29:13,252 --> 00:29:14,462
[machine buzzing]
517
00:29:18,757 --> 00:29:21,509
Don will be with you in a
minute. Take a look around.
518
00:29:21,510 --> 00:29:22,720
Thanks.
519
00:29:28,476 --> 00:29:31,896
Is this your stuff?
Brian, is that your name?
520
00:29:33,439 --> 00:29:34,565
Yeah.
521
00:29:35,483 --> 00:29:37,526
Do you mind giving me
a quote on a piece?
522
00:29:39,278 --> 00:29:40,403
Kind of on a roll here.
523
00:29:40,404 --> 00:29:43,281
Uh, but Don can help you
out. He knows my price.
524
00:29:43,282 --> 00:29:44,575
Give me a minute.
525
00:30:09,058 --> 00:30:10,141
House of Ink.
526
00:30:10,142 --> 00:30:11,560
Yo, Brian, it's for you.
527
00:30:13,604 --> 00:30:14,772
[Brian sighs]
528
00:30:16,524 --> 00:30:17,525
Sorry.
529
00:30:24,114 --> 00:30:25,157
It's Brian.
530
00:30:26,492 --> 00:30:28,661
Uh, yeah. Let me check.
531
00:30:30,829 --> 00:30:31,997
I got time Thursday.
532
00:30:33,374 --> 00:30:35,668
Friday? Sorry, I
heard you wrong.
533
00:30:38,045 --> 00:30:40,213
Yeah, I'll do Friday. Yeah.
534
00:30:40,214 --> 00:30:42,967
Hey, I'm-I'm double parked.
I'm gonna check on my car.
535
00:30:48,889 --> 00:30:51,016
I can spot you cops a mile away.
536
00:30:54,478 --> 00:30:56,814
Police already ruined
my life with this.
537
00:30:57,690 --> 00:30:59,316
Leave me alone.
538
00:31:08,951 --> 00:31:11,578
Hey. Looking for Cold Cases.
539
00:31:11,579 --> 00:31:14,080
-[officer] Uh, someone call you a pass?
-Afraid not.
540
00:31:14,081 --> 00:31:15,498
Figured I could just stop by.
541
00:31:15,499 --> 00:31:17,542
Haven't been out here
since I was a recruit.
542
00:31:17,543 --> 00:31:18,919
Sure don't miss that rope climb.
543
00:31:19,878 --> 00:31:22,005
You're Olivas. RHD?
544
00:31:22,006 --> 00:31:24,591
You addressed my academy class
about proper evidence collection.
545
00:31:24,592 --> 00:31:25,717
[chuckles]
546
00:31:25,718 --> 00:31:27,303
Job can't always be sexy.
547
00:31:29,221 --> 00:31:31,807
-[officer] Stairs on the left.
-Appreciate you.
548
00:31:40,316 --> 00:31:41,816
-[Olivas clears throat]
-Oh.
549
00:31:41,817 --> 00:31:43,943
Hey, there. Uh,
Zamira Parker around?
550
00:31:43,944 --> 00:31:45,903
She just stepped out.
She should be right back.
551
00:31:45,904 --> 00:31:47,614
Thomas Laffont.
552
00:31:47,615 --> 00:31:49,240
Robert.
553
00:31:49,241 --> 00:31:50,992
You are Mr. RHD.
554
00:31:50,993 --> 00:31:53,202
[stammers] And your name was?
555
00:31:53,203 --> 00:31:55,705
Colleen Hatteras.
I-I'm a volunteer.
556
00:31:55,706 --> 00:31:58,541
Got a lot of admiration
for people like you.
557
00:31:58,542 --> 00:31:59,710
Oh.
558
00:32:00,294 --> 00:32:01,920
[stammers] There she is.
559
00:32:02,796 --> 00:32:04,297
Parker and I were
partners for a bit.
560
00:32:04,298 --> 00:32:06,884
You wouldn't believe who
they got me rolling with now.
561
00:32:07,468 --> 00:32:09,802
Pietras. Dude with the floss?
562
00:32:09,803 --> 00:32:10,929
Olivas.
563
00:32:12,848 --> 00:32:13,932
What are you doing here?
564
00:32:14,642 --> 00:32:18,269
A woman called down to RHD
earlier, asked for Parker.
565
00:32:18,270 --> 00:32:20,898
When I told her she no longer
worked there, lady hung up on me.
566
00:32:21,732 --> 00:32:25,109
Call came from a motel tied to a case
that we worked on back in the day.
567
00:32:25,110 --> 00:32:27,071
The Sunbeam. Remember that dump?
568
00:32:27,946 --> 00:32:29,530
Anyway, I asked around,
569
00:32:29,531 --> 00:32:31,741
heard that Parker was dipping
her toe down here with you.
570
00:32:31,742 --> 00:32:33,326
Case is cold, isn't it?
571
00:32:33,327 --> 00:32:34,619
Sadly, yeah.
572
00:32:34,620 --> 00:32:37,121
But if it's something that
you might take a look at,
573
00:32:37,122 --> 00:32:38,623
I am more than
willing to help out.
574
00:32:38,624 --> 00:32:40,376
You probably have
enough on your plate.
575
00:32:41,669 --> 00:32:42,670
Fair point.
576
00:32:43,420 --> 00:32:44,879
Anyway, glad I came down.
577
00:32:44,880 --> 00:32:46,923
Wanted to see your
whole operation.
578
00:32:46,924 --> 00:32:48,133
Well, now you've seen it.
579
00:32:48,634 --> 00:32:49,760
Thanks for stopping by.
580
00:32:55,516 --> 00:32:57,559
It's good to see
you folks. Laffont.
581
00:33:02,981 --> 00:33:04,399
Feel free to just
call next time.
582
00:33:04,400 --> 00:33:06,151
[sighs] Ballard, come on.
583
00:33:07,736 --> 00:33:09,070
Ain't it time we
bury the hatchet?
584
00:33:09,071 --> 00:33:10,947
Oh, I plan on burying it.
585
00:33:10,948 --> 00:33:12,241
In your goddamn back.
586
00:33:18,747 --> 00:33:20,040
Always a pleasure.
587
00:34:09,006 --> 00:34:10,381
[Aaron] You were looking
pretty good out there.
588
00:34:10,382 --> 00:34:11,466
[Ballard chuckles]
589
00:34:11,467 --> 00:34:14,261
-Passed up some nice sets though.
-Yeah.
590
00:34:15,053 --> 00:34:16,930
I got some things on my mind.
591
00:34:18,849 --> 00:34:22,477
Sometimes it's just nice
to sit out there, you know?
592
00:34:22,478 --> 00:34:24,855
I got coffee if you wanna talk?
593
00:34:25,522 --> 00:34:26,648
I gotta go meet someone.
594
00:34:27,191 --> 00:34:28,191
Rain check?
595
00:34:28,192 --> 00:34:29,318
Anytime.
596
00:34:33,071 --> 00:34:34,113
I'll call you.
597
00:34:34,114 --> 00:34:35,407
I'll answer.
598
00:34:36,492 --> 00:34:37,910
Come on, baby girl.
599
00:34:38,952 --> 00:34:40,120
Let's go.
600
00:34:57,429 --> 00:34:59,473
[Ballard] Thanks for meeting me.
601
00:35:01,099 --> 00:35:02,935
You know, I remember
when you joined up.
602
00:35:03,769 --> 00:35:07,147
It was encouraging to see another
woman climb the ranks like you did.
603
00:35:09,191 --> 00:35:10,609
Why you charming me?
604
00:35:12,611 --> 00:35:17,198
I'm hoping that whatever made you
leave, you'll put it behind you,
605
00:35:17,199 --> 00:35:19,618
'cause I think you'd be a
great addition to my team.
606
00:35:23,705 --> 00:35:25,289
You know, me and my brothers,
607
00:35:25,290 --> 00:35:27,292
we was always told to
watch out for the cops.
608
00:35:28,877 --> 00:35:30,254
It was always us against them.
609
00:35:32,840 --> 00:35:37,094
So when I went into the Academy,
everybody thought I was out of my mind.
610
00:35:38,929 --> 00:35:40,389
Lost a lot of friends.
611
00:35:41,139 --> 00:35:43,183
Mama started looking
at me funny, it was...
612
00:35:45,310 --> 00:35:47,646
But I thought I could make
it better for all of 'em.
613
00:35:49,064 --> 00:35:50,649
[Ballard] Didn't
work out that way.
614
00:35:51,316 --> 00:35:53,110
[sighs] No, it did not.
615
00:35:53,861 --> 00:35:56,070
Then I meet you, and I think,
maybe, I don't know, like,
616
00:35:56,071 --> 00:35:57,906
I could finally do some good.
617
00:35:59,283 --> 00:36:02,744
But getting involved
with this case again,
618
00:36:03,412 --> 00:36:05,414
working with the LAPD
again, it just...
619
00:36:07,583 --> 00:36:09,585
it just reminded me why
I left it all behind.
620
00:36:11,670 --> 00:36:12,796
Why did you leave?
621
00:36:15,299 --> 00:36:16,425
A lot of hypocrisy.
622
00:36:18,010 --> 00:36:19,428
Lot of assholes.
623
00:36:22,264 --> 00:36:23,765
A lot of victims too.
624
00:36:25,267 --> 00:36:27,352
But, yeah, the assholes
are definitely a thing.
625
00:36:28,145 --> 00:36:30,689
How do you think I ended up
heading the Cold Case unit?
626
00:36:32,900 --> 00:36:34,943
I tried to call one
of those assholes out,
627
00:36:35,527 --> 00:36:38,155
department sided with him
and then I got booted.
628
00:36:39,907 --> 00:36:42,450
What better way to keep
the troublesome woman quiet
629
00:36:42,451 --> 00:36:45,370
than to silo her in the
ass-end of the LAPD?
630
00:36:48,790 --> 00:36:52,920
Bottom line is, I think
they wanted me to quit.
631
00:36:53,629 --> 00:36:55,088
But that's not happening.
632
00:36:58,634 --> 00:37:02,930
This asshole you keep
talking about, was it Olivas?
633
00:37:09,436 --> 00:37:10,686
You know, I'll
tell you something.
634
00:37:10,687 --> 00:37:13,273
It's actually why I
pulled the John Doe case.
635
00:37:15,108 --> 00:37:18,612
No better way to stick it to the guy than
to solve the case he couldn't, right?
636
00:37:22,407 --> 00:37:23,784
Why don't you do it with me?
637
00:37:25,619 --> 00:37:27,162
Officially join the unit.
638
00:37:28,121 --> 00:37:31,708
I know you wanna go by that
motel after what Olivas said.
639
00:37:36,046 --> 00:37:38,798
Look, I have a stack
of résumés on my desk,
640
00:37:38,799 --> 00:37:41,551
a bunch of people who think
it'd be neat to solve a crime.
641
00:37:42,177 --> 00:37:43,679
But they're tourists.
642
00:37:46,515 --> 00:37:47,557
I want you.
643
00:37:49,434 --> 00:37:50,477
What do you say?
644
00:37:59,820 --> 00:38:00,821
Okay.
645
00:38:02,489 --> 00:38:03,740
Hell with it, I'm in.
646
00:38:29,683 --> 00:38:30,684
[radio chatter]
647
00:38:50,954 --> 00:38:51,955
[in Spanish] Excuse me.
648
00:38:52,873 --> 00:38:53,874
What happened?
649
00:38:54,416 --> 00:38:55,834
Yulia is dead.
650
00:38:56,001 --> 00:38:57,085
Someone killed her.
651
00:38:57,961 --> 00:38:59,004
Yulia?
652
00:39:00,881 --> 00:39:02,006
She works here?
653
00:39:02,007 --> 00:39:05,052
[sobs] She's a
cleaning woman like me.
654
00:39:05,594 --> 00:39:06,595
[speaks Spanish]
655
00:39:14,394 --> 00:39:15,812
[in English] Oh, my God.
656
00:39:18,565 --> 00:39:19,691
[line ringing]
657
00:39:21,651 --> 00:39:24,111
-[Ballard] Detective Ballard.
-Renée, it's Darcy.
658
00:39:24,112 --> 00:39:27,073
Even though you weren't able to
get any DNA off Brian Richmond,
659
00:39:27,074 --> 00:39:29,950
I went ahead and ran that Touch DNA
from the palm print through CODIS.
660
00:39:29,951 --> 00:39:31,410
And I got a case-to-case hit.
661
00:39:31,411 --> 00:39:32,662
No shit.
662
00:39:34,414 --> 00:39:38,000
Sarah Pearlman's killer left DNA
behind at another crime scene.
663
00:39:38,001 --> 00:39:40,003
Yeah, it's another murder too.
664
00:39:41,922 --> 00:39:45,299
A woman named Laura
Wilson. Back in '08.
665
00:39:45,300 --> 00:39:48,053
We might have a goddamn
serial killer on our hands.
666
00:40:15,205 --> 00:40:16,289
Wow.
667
00:40:17,833 --> 00:40:19,334
You don't see many
books this clean.
668
00:40:21,336 --> 00:40:22,754
Who was the investigator?
669
00:40:28,009 --> 00:40:30,345
[sighs] You gotta be kidding me.
670
00:40:34,224 --> 00:40:35,559
[sighs]
671
00:40:36,143 --> 00:40:37,686
Harry fucking Bosch.
672
00:40:50,282 --> 00:40:51,283
Here we go.
673
00:40:53,118 --> 00:40:56,788
I do wonder if running cold
cases is secondary trauma.
674
00:40:57,581 --> 00:40:59,582
It's a position you
were forced into
675
00:40:59,583 --> 00:41:02,668
because your brother's in blue
turned their backs on you.
676
00:41:02,669 --> 00:41:04,253
Why are we catching a fresh one?
677
00:41:04,254 --> 00:41:07,054
You missed the part where she said
Yulia might be tied to the John Doe?
678
00:41:07,424 --> 00:41:08,591
Where'd you get the gun?
679
00:41:08,592 --> 00:41:10,926
Street guys call him Montana.
He was definitely a cop.
680
00:41:10,927 --> 00:41:13,889
Gonna be near impossible
investigating potential corruption.
681
00:41:15,140 --> 00:41:16,140
[moans]
682
00:41:16,141 --> 00:41:18,350
Everyone is mad at the LAPD...
683
00:41:18,351 --> 00:41:19,977
-[groans, grunts]
-Stay down.
684
00:41:19,978 --> 00:41:21,353
...And I'm the punching bag.
685
00:41:21,354 --> 00:41:23,856
I would kill for the experience
you're getting in Cold Cases.
686
00:41:23,857 --> 00:41:26,400
[Ballard] The killer is out there right
now, and he could still be active.
687
00:41:26,401 --> 00:41:28,777
He's methodical. He's not
choosing these women randomly.
688
00:41:28,778 --> 00:41:30,946
There's just something
we're not seeing.
689
00:41:30,947 --> 00:41:33,073
You assured me that
my sister's case...
690
00:41:33,074 --> 00:41:36,285
Your sister is not more or less
important than any of my victims.
691
00:41:36,286 --> 00:41:39,455
[captain] Homicide has more
resources for something this size.
692
00:41:39,456 --> 00:41:42,751
We have 14 victims now. That's
14 families waiting for answers.
693
00:41:43,668 --> 00:41:45,003
You have 72 hours.
694
00:41:46,671 --> 00:41:48,381
Why the hell is it
always two steps back?
695
00:41:49,341 --> 00:41:51,425
-This is sick.
-And it stops here.

00:41:52,844 --> 00:41:56,597
Then why did you? When you knew what
your so-called brothers were capable of?
698
00:41:56,598 --> 00:42:00,101
[Grandaddy Parker] Because
someone has to watch the watchman.
