Previously on "L.A.'s Finest"...

Gabriel Knox is a ghost story

criminals whisper in the dark.

Somebody tortured me.

They shot me, and they left me for dead.

You think he's here in L.A.

And Ray Sherman knows how to find him.

Nice to meet you, Ray.

We need to talk about your partner.

I don't answer to you.

With what I know, of course you do.

That is long over. It's in the past.

Funny thing about the past,

never seems to stay behind you.

Dante?

I was just checking out
the old neighborhood.

He was outside
when I came back from my run.

There's drugs missing.
I need you to help me find Ray,

I have nowhere else to go.

- Hey, Arlo.
- Find your brother.

And get my drugs back!

Are you sure this is
the same Dante Sherman?

Ray Sherman's brother? I'm positive.

All that talk about, "I got your back..."

That was bullshit.

This is not the same.

We have to trust each other.

No more secrets.

Arcanos mayores.

Tower.

Devil.

Five of pentacles.

Ten of swords.

All facing away.

Lo siento.

You don't control the fates, Juanita.

How can I combat my...

Impending failure?

Ataque.

Quietly...

Attack.

Miss. I hate to bring it up, but Raul...

I can't afford...

It's settled. You keep the shop.

Your apartment upstairs is rent free.

I own the building now.

But Raul would never sell the building.

Syd, it's good to see you again.

Is today the day?

Do I finally get your confession?

I'd have to be a sinner first.

Guess I dressed up for nothing.

You know...

You don't have to suffer alone.

Maybe I don't want to drag
other people into my suffering.

Even Job, the man who suffered
most at the hand of God,

had friends to comfort him.

Job 211-13.

"Job's three friends,
Eliphaz, Bildad, and Zophar,"

they left their homes to comfort him.

And when they saw him,
they sat on the ground with him,

seven days, seven nights.

No one said a word

"because they saw
how great his suffering."

Impressive.

Though you've missed
the forest for the trees.

The point isn't that
the friends were silent.

It's that after all he went through,

Job still had friends.

Izzy, have you thought about

what you're gonna wear tonight?

No, but you obviously have.

This shouldn't be that difficult.

It's a press event. Okay?

Everyone has to dress up.

- Even Nancy.
- Even Nancy?

What the hell's that supposed to mean?

I'm just saying that

we have to dress to impress.

I'm not gonna pretend to be
something that I'm not.

You are a beautiful,
brilliant young woman.

But for the presser tonight,
can you be those things

in an appropriate outfit?

Let's just indulge your father

in his old-school misogyny for tonight.

Come on. It's his issue, not ours.

Sure.

Thank you.

You know that I love
the way that you dress.

Damn straight you do.

See you tonight.

I'm gonna see you
in a couple weeks, all right?

There's just some things that
Daddy needs to take care of.

It's gonna be okay.

Now, say hi to your mother for me, okay?

All right, Ray.
Say hi to your brother.

While you're at it,
tell him to deliver the drugs.

Dante, get out of town.

I told you. I don't have your drugs!

And I didn't burn down your club!

I. Don't. Believe. You!

Hey, come on!

Pull it over, moron!

It's called a car wash, José.

You get one so you can
see through the windshield

and not put a divot in my baby.

My name is Frank.

My car insurance's gonna...

Can I just pay for the work?

You want to pay for it?

That's an $11,000 bumper, amigo.

That car is worth...

I ain't paying for that.

Well, he couldn't have jumped from here.

And there's no way
he would would have made it

from all the way up there.

I mean, you can't just
fall from the sky.

What?

So we're...
we're just gonna pretend like

you didn't just walk away
from me yesterday

and you haven't been returning my calls?

- We're just gonna...
- didn't happen?

I don't know, are we gonna pretend like

you didn't do a background
check on me, which is,

- like, a major violation?
- My God. Okay, here we go.

Look, after what you've done,

you don't get to dig into my life.

Nobody cares what you did, McKenna!

Everybody's got a past.

And for the record, I wasn't
digging into your life.

I was looking into
Ray Sherman, which led me

to his brother, Dante,
which led me to you.

And you shouldn't be surprised,

'cause I saw Dante at your house.

Because of you!

You are dragging me into your mess.

I know what Gabriel Knox
did to you, but...

I don't even know what
Gabriel Knox did to me.

I've got the scars,
I've got the medical records,

but when I close my eyes at night,

I can't even see the asshole's face.

Asshole's face?

Yeah, that sounded
differently in my head.

Yeah, it's like a little...

It's like a... like a little...

tiny asshole in the middle.

Little asshole face.

Disgusting.

Yeah.

You can't keep ducking me on this.

My past needs to stay where it is.

You need to respect that.

I'm gonna go downstairs and finish up.

Yo, so these guys Rob a bank,

then dump their getaway car

all the way out here in the boonies?

Man, white people.

All right, so our bank robbers
wear masks and gloves.

Nobody's ID'd race yet, but
you're saying they're white.

Hey, man, look around.

Ain't no brothers driving
where "the hills have eyes,"

not even to ditch a getaway car.

100 bucks... two white dudes
and a Samoan.

Samoan?

Yeah, diversity hire.

Hey.

When your wife calls, you answer.

Every time you don't pick up,

she's wondering if this
the time you don't call back.

Come on.

You have it?

Yeah.

You sure about this?

Hurry up before Roth
does bathroom check.

You sure you're sure?

Wait.

Girl! That was intense.

- I-I thought you were really...
- Let me do it.

- Mind if I join you?
- Hey! Please, of course.

Sit down. Good to see you.

Two more.

Whoa! A little early...

Never too early.

Here's to you, Mr. District Attorney.

Mr. Interim.

I don't know what I'm gonna do

without you there to give me...

Guidance?

The wisdom of my years?

Shit.

I work harder to keep
you from giving me shit.

That's right.

Ooh.

Speaking of which, some of us
still have work to do.

I just came by...

to give you this.

Thanks, boss, for everything.

Hey, listen.

When you're an A.D.A., you're,
you're a prosecutor.

It's... it's easy to tell
who the bad guys are.

But after tonight,
you're gonna be a politician.

It won't be so easy
to tell the good from the bad.

You're a boy scout. You hold on to that.

Won't be as easy as you think.

Victim is Lowell Hudson.

Owns a helicopter
sightseeing tour company.

So maybe Lowell was
taking out a tour and fell out?

Right. He owns one of those
magical helicopters that,

you know, keep flying
even when the pilot

accidentally falls out.

Or maybe Lowell
was pushed out of his chopper...

for being a smart ass.

Did he have a partner?

He did, in fact.

Todd Kendrick.

We just got a new helo.

A big Robinson R44.

Lowell figured if we could take
a few more people up at a time,

we could make a few extra bucks.

We were in debt up to our eyeballs.

Lowell loved the company.

He really, um...

He really...

He really, really what?

Focus!

He really blamed himself
that we weren't doing great.

We're partners, but he was
the business guy.

I just flew the helos.

We were up in the R44 doing
an initial FAA A-D eval.

- Just the two of you?
- Yeah.

We're up, and Lowell is... distracted.

Outta nowhere, he throws the door open.

Only takes a second for
the downwash to catch him.

It was all I could do
to keep the helo on axis

against the wash.

Lowell was gone.

- Not bad.
- Yeah, like a B-minus.

- Yeah.
- Excuse me?

You didn't stick the landing.

- Neither did Lowell.
- Too soon.

- Too soon?
- Yeah, a little soon.

I-I didn't have to come here.

Sure you did.

How else were you gonna
tell us this story

that you spent the last
few hours rehearsing?

What?

Tense shift... it's a dead giveaway.

The first part of your story,
I mean, that was in past tense,

so it was probably true.

You were in debt.

Lowell blamed himself.

See, when people rehearse,
they tend to replay events

like they're happening now.

Lowell is distracted.

He throws open the door.

Was your radio down?

I'm just wondering why
there wasn't a mayday call.

'Cause Lowell was your friend, right?

Wouldn't you call for help?

I want a lawyer.

Now he calls for help.

You're free to go.

We can't hold you here
for being a bad liar.

But be somewhere we can find you.

That's our killer.

You're just suspicious
of everyone, aren't ya?

How is he not guilty?

No, I mean, obviously
he knows something,

but have you ever been in
a helo when the door's open?

Downwash is a bitch.

He'd need both hands to stay on axis.

So, somebody else must
have been in the chopper

when Lowell was pushed.

- Yeah.
- Hey, hey, hey!

Get ready to drop to number two
on the leader board.

Teletypes confirmed our burnt car

linked the merchant's bank robbery to

three other heists this month.

Same M.O., a professional crew.

So we're gonna be needing
the big board for this one.

'Cause y'all not using it, right?

You're not... using...

So that's four crimes
you guys won't be solving

instead of just one?

That actually reminds me,

we found something we thought
might help with your jumper.

You're just carrying
that around in your pocket?

- Yeah.
- He... he... he's getting good.

Look at her face. Look at her face.

You know, Lou, he's trying.

I got to bounce.

- What? Right now?
- Yeah. Izzy.

Okay. All right,
I'll see you later tonight.

Wait.

You're gonna come still?

Yeah.

I just didn't think you'd want to
after this morning.

I'll be there.

Cool.

Yo, McKenna, can I get a minute?

You've got, like, five floors.

I'll be blunt.

Syd's gonna get herself
arrested if she's lucky.

Killed if she's not.

You want to help her? Help me.

That's really dramatic.

Syd says you were
off the clock at club Cyrk

the night before it burnt down.

Just two girls out for drinks.

But I've got witness statements
saying you

pulled your service weapon
on the owner, Ray Sherman.

Your witnesses don't happen
to work for Ray, do they?

You're the smart one.

I'm guessing you were there to stop Syd

from doing something impulsive.

Be smart now.

If she's into something,
it could blow back on you.

Time's up.

Dick.

Don't say I didn't warn you!

Arlo?

I don't have your drugs, but, you know,

maybe we can work something out...

make a deal.

Ray?

How many times do you
want me to say it?

- I don't have your fentanyl.
- He isn't taking us seriously.

I guess we need
to show them Sherman brothers

just how serious Gabriel Knox is.

- Dante...
- Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait!

If you don't deliver
Mr. Knox's fentanyl,

- you're next.
- No, no, no, no!

I'll find your... I'll find your...

Or should we visit your son first?

I'll find your drugs!
Just give me some time.

I might know where they are.

Sorry, Ray. Time's up.

No! I'll find the drugs!

Izzy! We're late!

Waiting on you.

Well?

It's cute.

That's it?

Yeah.

I'm gonna throw on a lip,
maybe pull my hair back.

Okay.

So I can say with
absolute confidence

that Patrick McKenna
will be a credit to this city

as interim D.A.

I've learned
everything I know...

Ooh. Syd, I love the dress.

Thanks, Izzy. Nice dome.

- Thank you.
- As interim D.A.,

I will continue his legacy of integrity

and service to the city of Los Angeles.

Thank you.

All right, let's do this.

Can't I stay with Syd?

Mnh-mnh. If I gotta go, you gotta go.

- Okay.
- Smile with your teeth.

- Let's do this.
- Okay.

- Congratulations.
- Thanks.

Don't freak out.

What's there to freak out about?

I am dressed to impress.

Actually, I think it looks really cool.

- You do?
- Yeah.

Very Emma Gonzalez.

Yeah.

Mr. McKenna, a photo, please?

Hey. I'm proud of you.

I'm worried about her.

Yeah, me too.

- You dodged a bullet.
- Excuse me?

A man dense enough to ignore that dress

isn't worth your time.

You window shopping?

I was.

But I think I found
what I'm looking for.

And what's that?

Call it a spiritual connection.

So we're soulmates now?

Maybe... In a previous life.

Little cheesy.

A little cheesy.

My ex-husband believed in mystics.

So when our marriage was on the rocks,

he dragged me to a reading.

The psychic told us our souls
were linked in the past.

Ancient Egypt.
I was a slave. He was my master.

Figures.

She said we found
each other in this life

to reverse the sins of the past.

My husband filed
for divorce the next day.

You're better off without him.

I know.

Time to go press the flesh.

Pleasure was mine.

Not entirely.

Um...

Be right back.

Can I get some more?

Want a drink?

What the hell are you doing here?

Tequila with one ice cube is
still your drink, right, Perez?

- Right?
- It's McKenna.

I know who you are.

What is wrong with you?

What's wrong with me?

Ray's... dead.

Knox killed him.

And I found him behind this club,

this club that were
gonna open to get out

from underneath Knox.

They're coming for me next.

So...

You know what's interesting about it?

They burned him alive...
they burned him alive

because they think that...
that he stole some drugs

and burnt down the club.

But you and I, we both know
what really happened, don't we?

God.

Dante, I-I'm so sorry.

I know that that's bullshit,
because you hated Ray.

And the feeling was mutual, okay?

But that guy always came good for us.

You know that.

You owe him.

So, what do you want from me?

I want you to do your job.

And I want you to find who did this.

- Good to see you, Patrick.
- Thanks for coming.

You need to leave right now.

You owe me.

Go. Please.

Totes sorry about all this.

We were hoping to find my stash
before you got home.

Ray told us that you had it,
so we, figured

you were a night owl.
This is early for you, yeah?

Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait.
I got to get this.

Ooh!

Nice.

Now...

Where's our shit?

I want Knox.

Careful what you wish for.

Get the hell out of my house.

Hey.

What's up, kiddo?

I think we work best
with healthy boundaries

based on my respectful deference

to you as an authority figure.

- Respectful?
- Mostly.

Really?

Um...

You know, I...

I rebelled when I was around your age.

And I did something really bad...

my mom would've killed me
if she found out about it.

So I hid it from her for a year.

It's the biggest one I got, as well...

I was in love.

Needless to say,
I wasn't as brave as you.

You just, like, went for it,

and you're not hiding from anyone.

Thanks.

Being a teenager's really hard,

and... and it can get pretty dark.

I just want you to know that if...

If you ever want to,
like, talk about anything...

I'm here for you.

Yeah. Um...

I just, I'm...

I miss her.

I'm sorry.

Why?

You know? You didn't...

Drive drunk and plow into our car.

I know, honey.

But I can be sorry you lost your mom.

I guess.

Thanks.

Do you have to do that?

It's the cleanest thing in here, bro.

I can get Mr. Knox's fentanyl back.

- I know who took it.
- You don't know anything.

I sent you the details.

But you don't know who Syd is.

She's some cop. She's nobody.

A nobody who put your man in stitches.

Atticus had a bad night.

I'll take care of it.

Mr. Knox has lost faith in you.

That's why I'm here.

Well, it's unnecessary.

You all set?

He's good to go?

Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa!

You tried it your way.

You underestimated her, and you failed.

So, Mr. Knox would prefer
I take over the day-to-day.

From here on out, you'll do
exactly as I instruct.

Have I made myself clear?

I need an answer, Arlo.

Communication is everything.

Yes, you've made yourself clear.

Excellent.

Because that's the only warning you get.

What's up?

Salt-N-Pepa hit a road block
in their case.

"Thanks for the freedom.
Keep up the bad police work."

"love, the bank robbers."

See, you done messed up now, Nancy.

All right? Now I gotta come at you.

You left me no choice.

Gave me a chuckle.

Long night?

Something like that, yeah.

So, did you figure out
who pushed Lowell

out of the helicopter?

No, but check this out.

Passenger manifests.

These three people don't have
any payment records.

Paula Downey, Seth Lynwood,
and Chris Torrance.

So, the company's going out of business,

but they're giving away free flights?

That's what I thought.
So obviously I dug deeper,

and those three people don't exist.

Kendrick filed flight times
with the tower

and had to list names
for the company records,

but those flights were empty.

So Paula Downey, Seth Lynwood,
and Chris Torrance.

Hey! Just 'cause we hit
a dead end doesn't mean

you got to dunk on us, all right?

- What?
- I can hear you.

Downey, Lynwood, Torrance?

What... what are you taking about?

Where the robberies were...
in Downey, Lynwood, and...

Wait, what are you talking about?

Where was that last burned car?

Hansen Hills.

Check this out.

Rachel Hansen!

Wait, what?

So, walk us through the crimes.

Okay, we got four heists
with escape routes we don't know.

They come in hard and fast.

They take the drawers,
whatever's on the customers,

but they never hit the vault.

And they peel out
less than 90 seconds

before the units get to the scene.

Okay, you guys were wondering
how their escape routes

always avoided the black-and-whites?

Well, they got eyes in the sky.

And that solves their second problem.

Car swap.

Yeah, torch the car
to get rid of any trace.

That's right. And meanwhile,

your boy Kendrick flies them away.

No tracks to follow.

Just said that.

- This one.
- I know.

All right, so what do you think?

We'll shout you out in the report.

- What?
- This is our case.

- Right?
- Whoa!

You woulda spend the day
googling Downey McTorrance

if I hadn't brought you in on this.

Just got a call.
Glendale First National Bank.

All right, well,
if our theory is correct,

then we know exactly where
Kendrick and his heist crew

will be landing, so...

Right.

- What?
- We'll split the credit.

- What?
- We'll split the credit!

All right, Cookies and Cream, let's go.

I told you there was a Samoan!

Yeah, but you said three
white dudes. There's only one!

They're falling back! Let's go!

Backup's here in 10 minutes.

Yeah, they'll be ghosts by then.

All right, take the door.
We'll go around back.

- Shit.
- They got us boxed in.

Okay, then we shoot
our way back to the chopper.

Look, keep your head down.

Take it.

There's two left.

What does that mean?

- Draw his fire!
- You draw his fire.

You've got the better shot.

My ass!

Drop your weapon!

You didn't have to kill him,
you asshole.

It's okay.

Drop your weapon, Kendrick.

I said we could cut Lowell in.

It was Zeke's idea to do it in the air.

Lowell said no.

Zeke just pushed him.

It's my fault.

I got Lowell killed.

It's okay. It's done.

Hey. If you guys write up the report,

you can take the credit.

Word?

Yeah. You owe us.

I love you.

Love you, too.

Let me guess, let me guess.

You're standing over here
looking shook as a new baby deer

because you forgot
to call Michelle back.

No.

But here's why I couldn't pick up

with you over my shoulder.

- What?
- We're not telling people yet,

but she was calling
about her appointment.

This is fantastic!

Who's the father?

Come here!

Congratulations, man.

Everybody in the office thought
you was shooting blanks.

This is great, man.

So, what were they looking for?

$20 million worth of fentanyl.

- Give or take.
- Are you kidding me?

They could've killed you!

Knox is a businessman.

A dead cop isn't good for business.

So... so all this shit,
all this damage you have caused

is because of that?!

That is 50 times
more potent than heroin.

Two milligrams is a lethal dose.

There's over 100 pounds here...

enough to kill 26 million people.

So, no, no. I-I d...
I didn't plan any of this.

Yes, I-I burned down the club.

But before I did, I found
that hidden in a back room.

So I couldn't just leave it there.

Ray's dead because of that.

Because you stole that fentanyl.

And, yeah, he made bad choices,
but you know what?

So did I.

And I wouldn't be here if it
wasn't for Ray and Dante!

If you think I'm gonna weigh Ray's life

against all of the people
who could've died because

Knox wanted to put
that poison on the streets...

do the math, McKenna!

You... You were right.

You are right.

There is no way that I can get to Knox

without affecting the people
that I care about.

Be real.

If I would have told you
that I knew Ray...

Yeah.

I would have done things differently.

I'm sorry.

I need to get rid of this stuff.

I really got to get rid of this stuff

before somebody else gets hurt.

And I think I have an idea, but there is

no way I can dig myself
out of this hole alone.

You have a shovel?

That's a metaphor, right?

'Cause I don't actually have a shovel.

Yeah. It's a metaphor.

Did they lose their shit?

It's not about that.

I heard James and them talking about it.

They think it's hot.

It's definitely not about that.

Might as well enjoy the fringe benefits.

And for future reference,

there are much easier ways
to get a fake.

That's the point.

Fake won't work. Gotta be real.

You may want to spend
some more time by the pool.

It's close enough, okay?

Thank your cousin for me.

Who the hell are you?

Calm down.

I heard you were looking... for me.

Hi.

Can you drop the gun?
You're the one who called me.

Patel?

You should get better locks, dude.

Why... why are you at my house?

You first. Who told you about me?

Well, the kind of person
who wouldn't want me

- to answer that question.
- Ooh. Mysterious.

How did you find out where I live?

It's, like, sort of what I do.

You should consider this
a "proof of concept."

How does this... how does...
how does the whole...

how does it work?

Did your mystery person
tell you my price?

Okay.

It's cool. I'll wait.

I'm looking for this, um...
this dickhead millennial.

Name's Arlo.

He sent me Ray's location
from this phone.

I'm on it.

Hey.

You read my mind.

I keep thinking about
the guy from the reception.

Hines.

I saw you talking to him last night.

What was that all about?

Um... he was drunk.

I just asked him to leave.
Nothing, really.

Didn't seem like nothing.

What do you mean?

Well, he shows up claiming
to have lived in this house,

then he crashes my press event?

That's not a coincidence.

I'm the D.A. now...

the face of law enforcement in the city.

That puts a target on my back.

I think this guy
wants something from me.

What do you think he wants?

I'm not sure.

Maybe it was a mistake taking this job.

You okay?

Yeah.

Okay.

I got work to do.

'Night.

Hey.

I love you.

Daniel, I'm sorry to see you go.

Now, tell me about the new guy.

Hey, Jen. Come on in.

I didn't think you'd call me
after last time.

Well, what can I say?

I like what I like.

I brought my bag of tricks.

And my own to-go cup.

That's very thoughtful.

I'm glad you came.

I'm gonna need your expertise.

Did it work?
