Previously on Tommy...

Arturo Lopez just got shanked

in county jail. He's dead. Arturo knew

where a ton of bodies were buried.

Are you really not worried about how

Arturo's death is gonna reflect on you?

No. Arturo had his fingers in a lot of pies, no doubt.

But the investigation is gonna show he was killed

by a guy with tattoos on his knuckles.

I want to talk to the family

of one of the guys who killed him.

Turns out they're living in a new townhome.

An expensive one.

You think the new townhome

- was payment for killing Arturo? - I don't know.

But I want to find out.

Norah, your father is already

on his way to the airport.

We don't want to keep him waiting.

It's his plane. They'll wait.

The pink diamonds are from Australia.

This deep shade is very rare.

Norah.

Excuse me, miss?

Are you sure you put all the rings back?

Of course. Why?

Uh, one is missing.

The Australian pink?

Well, I don't have it.

I'm afraid I'm going to have to ask you to stay

until we locate the ring.

Don't be ridiculous. We have a plane to catch.

Ah.

If you can please check your pockets.

Are you calling me a thief?

Morning. What's up?

The young woman was trying on rings.

One is missing.

I asked her to empty her pockets,

she refused.

I already told you I don't have your ring.

Maybe you stole it.

This one's yours.

Miss, how about

we go to the back? No one wants

to embarrass you. You just have to empty your pockets,

- show 'em your purse. - Don't touch me.

- Easy. - Okay, you're under arrest.

Seven million dollars, Art.

- I know. - For three years.

The Feds have given us a seven million dollar grant

for community policing.

That's not pocket change.

You know, I can't dig that out of my couch.

- We need the money. - Uh-huh.

So... so what's the holdup?

I don't know if you've noticed, but it's not

business as usual in D.C.

People at Justice are like abused kids,

scared to do anything that makes Dad angry.

Every grant is getting a serious up and down.

We've got the numbers to show the program works.

Wha-What else do they need?

Well, you didn't help yourself by going up against ICE

over that De La Puerta woman.

People noticed that. Look,

just sit tight and stay calm...

Yeah, you write me a check for seven million dollars,

I will show you calm.

See you, Tommy. Thanks.

Len Egan, as I live and breathe.

- Hey, Coop. - Hey.

Good to see you.

Chief, this is Len Egan.

Used to work homicide for us, but now he runs

a security business and dresses a lot better than he used to.

Pleased to meet you, Chief.

- And you. - And this is for you.

Blood in the Gutter.

It's a story about the Crenshaw Fireman case,

which I happened to work.

Guy killed 15 homeless

over ten years in South Central.

Egan collared him and wrote the book.

I hate the title. Not my idea.

But what are you gonna do?

Anyway, chapter of

- LAPD history for your bookshelf. - Thank you.

- Is that why you came by? - Actually, I'd appreciate

a minute, if you don't mind.

Okay.

I'm working with a Saudi businessman

named Sheikh Ahmoud Fayed.

About an hour ago, his daughter

got arrested for hitting a police officer

in the jewelry store at their hotel.

Some mix-up over a ring she tried on.

Tried on or tried to steal?

Well, that's the mix-up.

wealthy family, spoiled girl.

Why is it not that?

'Cause Norah is a good kid.

M... Maybe a little moody, but that's all.

Even if I wanted to overlook hitting an officer,

- what about the shoplifting charge? - Store's dropped it.

Probably because the family bought

ten times what she tried to lift.

Chief, this family has money and major flex.

You let this go, things calm down.

Push it, you're kicking a hornet's nest.

- Ah. So this is you doing me a solid. - At the end of the day,

this is a nice girl who messed up.

Do you really want to provoke a major dust-up

just so you can throw the book at her?

You say she's sorry?

I want to hear it from her myself.

Hi. I'm Chief Abigail Thomas. Are you the young lady's mother?

Yes. Thank you so much for coming.

This is just a misunderstanding,

and Norah is very sorry.

Well, the officer found the ring in her pocket.

She took off her ring to try on the new one.

It got mixed up.

It's hard to see how you get a $27,000 ring mixed up.

But I understand that the store is not pursuing the issue,

and I will consider dropping the assault charge

if your daughter apologizes.

- Yes. Of course she will. - Okay.

Officer Finley told me that

you were very upset when they got there,

which is no excuse.

But I am willing to cite and release you

- if you apologize to the officer. - No.

Excuse me?

I don't want to be released.

Uh, I don't understand.

I don't care about the ring.

I took it because I just...

I needed to slow things down.

You were trying to get arrested?

My parents are taking me back to Saudi Arabia against my will.

I have applied for political asylum.

A-A friend is helping. His name is Dan Ritter.

He's-he's one of my professors.

My guardian must have found out and told my parents.

And that's why they're in a hurry.

You can't talk to your parents and ask to stay?

There's no talking now.

If... if they take me back home,

I'll be locked away, maybe killed.

Just because I want the same freedom you take for granted.

They're kidnapping me.

- That sounds a little dramatic. - My sister

wrote an article criticizing the male guardian system.

My father locked her up.

Areen disappeared,

like she never existed.

Ask him what happened to her.

And then tell me I'm being dramatic.

I'm sorry,

but this is between you and your parents.

No. Now it's between you and me and your parents.

Thank you.

So, we good?

I just spoke to the D.A.

We're charging Norah with assaulting an officer.

I don't understand. You promised.

No, I said I would let it go if she apologized, and she didn't.

Excuse me.

What are you doing?

I as-I assured my client this was taken care of.

I am sorry to disappoint you.

If you do this, you're gonna get a storm you don't want.

Bring it on.

No statements about the Saudi girl

until the press gaggle at noon.

I don't want to go out on a limb

- before we know what's going on. - Got it.

- Vincent. - Hey.

- Where have you been? - Working.

You look good, Blake.

Uh-oh, a compliment.

What do you need?

If it's a statement about the Saudi thing...

It's not that. Can we talk in your office?

Sure.

- Arturo Lopez... - Yeah. You were

looking into the two guys who killed him,

whether they were paid off.

I'm pretty sure they were,

but it's complicated.

I need some information to lock it down.

- About this guy. - Who's Edward Wilson?

Homeless guy.

- Murdered two years ago. - I don't get it.

What's the link? Arturo was a lawyer and a high-end fixer.

How does he connect to a homeless guy?

That's what I'm trying to figure out.

I need Wilson's autopsy report.

I was wondering if you could check out

the murder book collection at the LAPD Homicide Library,

get me a copy.

Don't you have sources at the morgue?

I don't want to ring that bell just yet.

No one will notice if you pull a report.

Uh, why does it matter if anyone notices?

Maybe it doesn't.

Given the places the story reaches into,

it's hard not to be paranoid.

You know what, forget it. I shouldn't ask.

It's okay. I'll see what I can do.

Thank you, Blake.

I mean it. I owe you.

Hey, the boss wants to see us about this Saudi thing.

Just got off the phone with Len Egan.

He's got a few things to say.

Yeah, I bet.

The press is climbing all over this one.

Everyone loves a spoiled rich girl in handcuffs.

Egan said you were open

to letting her go until you talked to her.

What changed your mind?

Well, she told me that she stole that ring deliberately

to buy time. She's trying to get asylum.

- Asylum from her family? - Yeah, among other things.

Thought we didn't get involved in immigration issues.

This girl is saying that her life is in danger.

I can't just ignore that.

As far as the press is concerned,

It's a straightforward case of assault on an officer.

We're gonna hold her till her arraignment,

when she'll be charged.

In the meantime, I'd like to find out more

about this asylum claim, 'cause if what she says is true,

she's got an argument.

See if you can track down her professor,

Dan Ritter.

Norah says that he's helping her with the request.

Sure. But asylum applications can take months.

We can only hold her for what, 72 hours?

See what we can find out until then. In the meantime,

it's business as usual.

Got the secretary of state's office on the line.

Sacramento? What do they want?

No, ma'am. Washington.

The assistant secretary for near-eastern affairs

if you can meet with Sheikh Ahmoud Fayed.

Apparently he's the father of the girl who was arrested.

Business as usual.

Chief Thomas, I am Sheikh Ahmoud Fayed.

Please forgive our intrusion.

Yes, you are excused.

You want me to release your daughter,

but I'm afraid I can't do that.

I'm sorry the situation evolved as it has.

But yes, you are right,

I am here to help expedite Norah's release,

as any father would.

But also to perhaps offer some perspective into her actions.

- Please. - Now,

Norah has always

wanted to study in the U.S.

And currently she is studying pre-law here,

almost a year, She's getting high marks...

So why take her back to Saudi Arabia now?

School year isn't over.

Her guardian, Gamal,

has informed me that she's having serious troubles.

Psychological issues.

She was seeing a therapist.

Well, a lot of college freshmen do.

Well, the stress has overwhelmed Norah.

She has been diagnosed with anxiety

and depression.

I believe she told you she is applying

for political asylum?

- She did. - She's never said

anything like that before she came here.

Chief Thomas,

she needs rest, not a prison cell.

Well, she seemed rational when I spoke to her.

Unless she's being paranoid when she said that

you imprisoned her sister for writing an article.

Did I get that right?

She said that about Areen?

Yeah, she did.

You be the judge.

I will arrange for you to speak with her sister this evening.

And then, perhaps,

you will see that I only have Norah's

best interests at heart.

Thank you.

I just got a call

from Doheny Division.

They're asking if they should, uh, send Norah to county jail.

They're not equipped to hold her overnight.

Well, she's already scared.

County would be a disaster for her.

Have them bring her here.

We'll put her in one of our holding cells.

How's that gonna look, putting this girl under your wing?

I will deal with that when it happens.

Any luck with the professor?

I can't find anyone who has seen Ritter since Monday.

He's missed classes, office hours.

People in his department

say it is not like him to just disappear.

- Any family you can talk to? - Single guy, lives alone.

All right, uh, put some people on this.

We got to find this guy.

On it.

Ms. Sullivan? Find everything you need?

Yeah. Thanks.

_

_

Hey, Mom. What are you reading about?

Sheikh Ahmoud Fayed.

TMZ says he is

the 31st-richest person on the planet.

Does he come across that way...

expect everyone to do what he wants?

No, he seemed reasonable.

I mean, u-until he suggested his daughter was mentally ill

because she wanted to finish school.

Mm. Textbook male rationalization.

Girl's not doing what I want? Must be crazy.

Well, he's not entirely off base, though.

Norah is stressed.

She's making some questionable choices.

You know? Some melodramatic claims.

I have a call with her sister in a few minutes.

Hopefully she can tell me who's crazy

and who's really a victim.

Uh, thank you for calling, Ms. Fayed.

Please call me Areen.

Okay. I'm Tommy.

So, Norah tells me that your father

is holding you prisoner.

- Is that true? - I haven't left

this wing of my father's house in almost two years.

What exactly did you write?

I proposed that the male guardian system

is outdated and unnecessary.

Women here are considered legal minors

from birth until death.

A 50-year-old widow can't go to the market

without her teenage son's permission.

So, Norah's guardian, uh, Gamal, I guess,

uh, he accompanies her everywhere?

Yes. There's also an app called Absher that lets him track her

and alerts him if she tries to use her passport.

Which must be how he figured out she applied for asylum.

So, this article upset your father?

No. He agrees with me.

But many Saudis, men and women, called for my beheading.

So your father saved you?

Yes. The only way that he could.

Do you think he would do the same thing to Norah

if she returned home?

It's complicated.

By applying for asylum,

Norah is demonizing our way of life.

The more press coverage that her arrest gets,

the more people learn of her rebellion

and call for her death.

So by detaining her as she asked,

we are actually making things worse for her?

You asked if my father would lock her up.

He would, to save her life.

♪ Hard ♪

♪ Mm, mm, mm, mm ♪

♪ Oh, so long. ♪

You lied to me about your sister.

How?

She can't leave our house.

For her protection.

My father may be a reluctant jailer,

but he's still a jailer.

What would you have him do differently?

Fight. Resist.

He tells us he agrees with us in private,

then does what Saudi culture dictates in public.

What good is that?

We can't find Dan Ritter.

Is there a relative who can sponsor you here?

No.

Processing an asylum claim could take months,

and it's not even a sure thing.

We have to release you in 48 hours.

Dan was getting faculty letters of support for me,

calling USCIS to try to expedite things.

You have to find him.

I understand what you're trying to do here, Norah,

it's just not realistic.

Saudi women don't get realistic choices.

My sister had to choose between beheading

and living in her room.

And because I reject that, am I delusional?

I came here

to get a law degree, basically because I thought

it would infuriate my father.

And that was shallow.

I know that now.

But since I've been here,

I have learned how knowledge can be a weapon.

I want to get my degree and go home when I'm ready,

armed for the fight.

Will you help me?

Are you satisfied, Chief?

Areen Fayed is safe and happy.

Well, she's safe.

But you understand why she's there.

Yes, I understand why it's necessary.

It's not a life

I would want for my daughter.

And nothing changes the fact

that Norah assaulted a cop.

Who doesn't have a mark on her.

I want a peaceful resolution,

- but... - But what?

In my country, we have a saying.

"Let the sword decide only after the plan has failed."

- Have we failed? - I am not releasing Norah

until the legal process is done.

If you think that's a failure,

then, yes, I guess we failed.

I wish this had ended

another way, for both of us.

Is that a threat?

Goodbye.

Really hope that sword talk is just a metaphor.

Sadly, my daughter has lost touch with reality.

But so has the LAPD if they continue to hold

a mentally unbalanced young woman

over a misunderstanding.

Norah struck a police officer by accident.

And for that we are sorry, but she needs our help,

not a punishment.

Last week,

a young woman by the name of Katherine Jones

was arrested for assaulting a police officer.

She was released within hours.

That young woman is Chief Thomas' daughter.

Yes, the chief was able to get her own child out of jail

in record time.

Thank you very much.

No questions. No quest...

He just accused me of nepotism?

I'll handle it, don't worry.

Kate did not assault anyone.

I have to set the record straight.

If you defend your daughter in public, you'll have to call out

the officers who arrested her.

Okay? The press will plant you

right in the middle of your family and the LAPD.

You don't want to be there, trust me. I'll take care of it.

So, Egan's still using his contacts

in the department.

I-I'm not sure he'd do that. He was a good cop.

Oh, yeah? The LAPD did not pay for that suit.

You release the girl, and this all ends.

Are you sure this is worth it?

She wants the chance to choose her life.

Not have it chosen for her.

I know what it feels like to fight for that.

So yes, it is worth it.

Then you'll need somebody on your side.

I got a suggestion you're not gonna like.

Yeah?

Cop was assaulted.

Get the police union on board.

Ask Lou Woods for help? Yeah.

You're right. I don't like it.

Chief, Deputy A.G. Hughes is here.

Okay.

Ah. Art, so, what is the news?

The attorney general called the deputy attorney general,

said the president is concerned over the sheikh's mistreatment.

Why does he care?

Do you know how many weapons the Saudis buy

from the U.S. government?

He cares a lot.

What does this mean to the community policing grant?

That? Off the table. Gone.

That's seven million out the door.

That's the least of it.

They're threatening to investigate the arrest

as a civil rights violation.

They'll say you're targeting Muslims.

The federal Civil Rights Division?

They can put every questionable arrest the LAPD has made

on your watch under a microscope, and will.

You've given the feds a gift.

They get to say they're defending Muslim civil rights.

Y-You got to push back. Call Lou Woods.

Dylan. Don't let that ball touch those bumpers.

- Chief Thomas. - Got a minute?

Are you here about the vicious slapping?

I'm trying to protect an LAPD officer.

That's a job we share.

You don't want people thinking they can just

hit one of our cops and walk, do you?

I talked to the officer, and she's willing to let it go.

And she told you that.

Makes me think you're protecting somebody else.

Like, maybe that little Muslim gal

you got tucked up at headquarters?

Let's say I was willing to work with you.

What do you need?

Public statement confirming the seriousness

of the assault charge.

And union support

if the feds open a civil rights investigation.

Mm. That'd be real helpful of me.

- What do you want? - The kid who claimed

he got attacked in custody?

His family is suing the two guys who arrested him.

Just give the officers some public support.

Say he behaved appropriately and I'll make your statement.

They didn't behave appropriately.

They made a bad arrest,

and that kid got the crap beat out of him because of it.

The officer who got slapped doesn't need our protection.

You want me to say she does.

That's not the same thing.

You want me to be your guy?

You got to be my gal.

That's how it works.

You will never be my guy.

Your funeral.

No go?

He made me an offer I could refuse.

Cooper called.

Dan Ritter's dead.

- What? How? - Found his body

at the bottom of a cliff in the canyon.

Near a hiking trail.

Somebody tried to make it look like an accident,

but the M.E. says he got hit in the head, dumped later.

Ritter was murdered.

Hey.

Sorry I'm late. I had to go to a crime scene.

Me and Luna already ate.

You can, uh, order a pizza if you want.

Are you okay?

Isn't that self-cleaning?

They sent me home from school today

after the news broke about the sheikh's statement.

I guess some parents complained.

Oh, that is ridiculous.

I'll-I'll call the headmaster tomorrow.

I-I... You didn't do anything wrong.

No, don't. It's not your fault.

The people who run the school are idiots.

I don't even know why I'm there.

Anyway...

that's not the headline.

Henry left today.

We're splitting up,

- for real. - You okay?

Uh, honestly?

Yeah.

I have been on this roller-coaster,

trying to recapture some happy feeling

from when we got married,

and truthfully, I don't even know if it was ever there.

Now that it's decided, I feel like I can breathe

for the first time in months.

And you doing the right thing.

Just, have to tell my daughter that her family's breaking up.

She'll still have a family.

I've been through this.

I can help you figure out what to say.

I'm glad you're here.

Daniel Ritter. 29, single.

Taught philosophy.

Killed by a blow to the head with a blunt object.

Body dumped sometime between 6:00 p.m. and midnight Monday.

Keller, I didn't expect to see you at the scene.

This case just land on your desk?

No, Chief. I asked for it.

I know there were some, uh, issues last time.

I'd like another chance to show what I can do.

- I got no time for personal beefs. - Won't be any.

I'm good.

All right. What do you got?

Ritter taught his last class at noon Monday,

then nothing.

We're talking to friends and colleagues, checking financials,

going through security footage.

Well, we know he was helping Norah, which would not

have made him popular with her family.

Yeah, but what would murdering him accomplish?

Her asylum bid was a long shot

- to begin with. - This guy, Gamal Hadiri,

Norah's bodyguard... maybe he took his job a little too seriously?

Yeah, maybe.

Chief, Rima Fayed would like to speak with you.

All right, put her through.

In person.

Hey, this is Vincent.

Sorry I missed your call. Tell your story at the beep.

Hey. It's Blake.

Uh, I'm officially worried, which I know is dumb

because you can take care of yourself.

Uh, so...

...let me know you're okay.

Please.

I don't even have a cell phone.

Call me old-fashioned,

but I prefer face to face,

and ladies-only privacy is a rare commodity.

I'm still trying to get used to having a security detail.

At least I get to send them home.

Does it ever bother you...

relying on men?

I was 22 when the Taliban

came to power in Afghanistan.

My best friend had her fingertips cut off

for wearing nail polish.

I am content in Saudi Arabia.

Norah isn't.

I love Norah.

But she is naive.

Don't let her idealism blind you.

As mothers,

we must be wise when our children are not.

The longer you hold my daughter,

the worse it will be for her when she returns home,

and she will return.

Are we talking threats of beheading?

I don't think Norah is unstable.

Neither do we, but my husband must stress

that she's mentally ill in the press

to keep her safe.

Saudis do not see girls like her as rebels.

Uh...

To them, Norah is a terrorist

who might incite other young women

to reject our way of life.

Did you or your husband ever meet a professor of Norah's,

Dan Ritter?

Gamal told us about Mr. Ritter.

He was afraid that Norah was developing feelings

for her handsome professor.

My husband was angry.

Norah knew that she was promised to a man

of our choosing back home,

and Ahmoud trusted her to-to be

a-an obedient daughter

and a good, chaste Muslim girl.

Ritter was murdered.

We never met him.

Apparently your husband is on his way to my office.

Didn't he know we were meeting?

I didn't tell him.

I wanted this to be between us.

Ooh, I guess I'm gonna have to order more couches.

- Chief Thomas, good morning. - Phil Goldstein.

- Sheikh Fayed's attorney. - Nice to meet you.

- What do you got? - Court order

and some much-needed common sense.

Norah Fayed should have been cited and released two days ago.

This farce has gone on long enough.

Oh, I'm afraid I don't agree. 72 hour hold.

We still have 24 hours.

According to California State Law, AB 1810,

you can't hold anyone charged with a crime committed

because of a diagnosable mental disorder.

That will be relevant

at her arraignment, when she's charged.

Until then, she's ours.

Chief Thomas, this court order is a good faith attempt

to get you to release Norah.

And if I don't?

We will file suit

and D.C. will back us up.

I will tie up your department in court,

- and you will be to blame. - You won't be the first to try.

About that court order,

the judge should've mentioned that Norah needs to be evaluated

by two independent

psychiatrists approved by both sides.

How about we let the lawyers huddle?

Excuse me.

You're gonna like this.

This is campus security footage

from outside Ritter's office.

This is Monday,

just after his noon lecture let out.

That's Ritter.

And that's Sheikh Fayed.

Rima said they'd never met Ritter.

I got to say it's convenient,

you coming down to headquarters.

Now we can talk about Dan Ritter's murder.

My client is cooperating in good faith.

- How about we all try? - Can you explain this?

I wanted to speak with Mr. Ritter.

Did you consider an e-mail?

Were you aware he was helping your daughter apply for asylum?

- Of course. - Couldn't have been thrilled about that.

- Don't answer that. - I knew asylum was Norah's idea.

I did not blame Mr. Ritter for that.

- Then why the rough treatment? - I was concerned,

as a father, that he was trying to seduce her.

And you wanted to put a stop to it.

- All right, we're done. - No, we're not. Your client

was one of the last people to see a murder victim alive.

So what happened when you met?

He said that

there was no seduction, no romance

on his part.

He said he would never jeopardize his career

by sleeping with a student.

- I believed him. - So you just let him walk?

What else would I do?

The Sheikh's associates will confirm

Mr. Ritter wasn't harmed.

I'm sure they will.

What would have happened to Norah

if she'd had sex with Dan Ritter?

Sharia law calls for 100 lashes.

This is a different entrance to Ritter's university office.

30 minutes after he was grabbed.

Guess the Sheikh told the truth.

And look who drops by to say hi.

Where's her guardian?

I don't know where Gamal went.

I had to tell Dan that my parents

were pulling me out of school.

Did he tell you he'd just had a talk with your father?

- No, but I knew he was upset. - Was it common

for Gamal to just disappear and not tell you where he went?

No. He was always there.

I know he went to my parents' hotel that day,

but then I didn't see him until the next morning.

I'll bring him in.

Vincent?

Vincent? It's Blake.

_

_

_

Here you go.

Thank you.

So, just to be clear,

you go with Norah everywhere?

Uh, everywhere there is mixed company.

I guard her person, her honor, her...

- reputation. - Did you feel that Dan Ritter

was a threat to her reputation?

She had a crush on him.

I worried she might do something foolish.

When did you last see Dan Ritter?

Monday.

With Norah at his lecture.

So there's no chance

we would find you on security camera footage

from Mr. Ritter's house from later that night?

No.

- She is a nice-looking girl. - What?

Norah. You attracted to her?

No.

She is my second cousin.

And... my charge.

Jealousy is a powerful thing.

And this was a vicious attack.

Takes a lot of force to kill a man.

Tell me, Gamal, if we rolled up your sleeves,

would we find scratches there?

No.

Because we found skin cells

under Dan Ritter's nails.

Apparently he fought his attacker.

There's enough DNA under his nails to test against the sample

we're gonna take from this bottle.

I don't understand.

If your DNA from this bottle

matches the DNA on Dan Ritter's body,

then you have been lying to us, Gamal.

Are you arresting me?

No. You're free to go.

I...

Yeah, he's on his way down now, car two.

Got him.

We should have let him cool his heels a while.

We got eyes on him.

What, do you think he's gonna run?

I think he's gonna run to someone.

Gamal just stopped his elevator.

I don't know what he's doing.

I did everything you asked...

but they know.

Who is he talking to?

I understand.

He's coming back up.

All right, come on.

Gamal?

Hold it, there.

I will need a lawyer.

Why?

I killed Ritter.

To protect Norah.

I love her.

Gamal Hadiri is in custody.

He confessed to Dan Ritter's murder and the DNA backs it up.

That is highly regrettable, but it does not change

the facts of my daughter's detention.

Which, as of six minutes ago,

has lasted for 72 hours. Congrats Chief,

you ran out the clock.

Norah...

please, it is over.

We fly home this evening.

No.

Your plans may need to change.

Norah's a material witness.

She was one of the last people to see Ritter alive.

She'll need to testify at Gamal's trial.

That could be over a year from now.

Yes. So, since we know

it would be difficult to get her back from Saudi Arabia,

- we're detaining her until trial. - You're saying she's a flight risk?

Exactly. When we told the D.A. about Areen's

house arrest, and that Norah

could expect the same treatment,

he agreed that we should keep her here.

Of course, she won't be a prisoner. She will

continue her studies, live her life...

I want to speak to the D.A. about this.

You're twisting the system into a pretzel...

Enough.

Norah,

if you want so badly to be an American...

...so be it.

But you will no longer be my daughter.

Ahmoud, Ahmoud...

Are we done here?

I guess we are.

I know it's what I wanted, but...

it's not how I wanted it.

Gamal made me crazy sometimes,

but he's not a bad man.

He supported his whole family

by guarding me, and...

they're very poor.

He supported his family? Did they live in Jeddah?

Yes. Um... how did you know?

Well, Gamal made two calls from the elevator.

To your parents' hotel suite

and one to a private number

in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia.

Who picks up a hotel phone?

A woman who doesn't use a cell phone.

Why would Gamal call my mother?

I think he may have killed Dan Ritter for her.

Poor Dan.

He was just trying to help me.

But it makes sense.

If Gamal told my mother that I was falling for Dan...

which... to be honest, I was...

she would've panicked.

In her mind, a strategic marriage is everything.

And, if I gave up my virginity...

She would have lost another daughter.

So, Gamal must have called your mother

to make sure his family

would be taken care of if he confessed.

And then he called his family to say goodbye.

He'll never admit the truth.

Neither will she.

Cheer up, boss.

You won, right?

Let's go to the airport.

You going somewhere?

Of course.

Chief Thomas.

Detaining my family is becoming a theme.

Sorry for the inconvenience.

Are you?

I am trying to figure out Gamal.

'Cause I cannot imagine

you would choose a guardian who would fall in love

with your daughter.

Two young people.

All that time together.

No plan is perfect.

Gamal is not in love with Norah.

He killed Dan Ritter because you told him to.

And I thought my daughter had a gift for drama.

You told me we have to be wise

for our children. I get that.

You thought you knew best.

Removing temptation.

That does not mean that you can get away with murder.

You caught the murderer.

Gamal's story will never change.

It's not justice.

We did everything for Norah.

We gave her more freedom

than she'd ever known,

and still that wasn't enough.

Now she's dead to me.

You killed my daughter.

Where is my justice?

No, that one is on you.

You're a good chief.

A sheikha.

We're not so different.

Women always have power.

We just have to use it subtly in this man's world.

I have a police force

of 12,000 men and women behind me.

I have the law and I have a gun.

There's nothing subtle about my power.

Power is slippery.

When I was a teenager, I wore miniskirts

in the streets of Kabul.

Now women wear burqas.

Regimes change, women feel powerful, but...

men always come out on top.

No, not always.

Enjoy it while you can.

Am I free to go?
