PREVIOUSLY ON "THE CLOSER"...
JUST GOT AN ADVANCED COPY

OF THE DEPARTMENT'S
NEW ORGANIZATIONAL CHART.

YOU WILL BE DIRECTING
ALL OF YOUR INQUIRIES

TO NEW ASSISTANT CHIEF
RUSSELL TAYLOR.

Delk: CHIEF JOHNSON

DID MAJOR CRIMES
INVESTIGATE THE MURDERS

OF AN ELDERLY
CONVENIENCE-STORE OWNER

AND HIS 8-YEAR-OLD GRANDSON,

REFERRED TO AS
THE "SHOOTIN' NEWTON" MURDERS?
WHAT IS THIS ABOUT?

TURELL'S MOTHER HAS FILED
A CIVIL SUIT AGAINST THE CITY,

THE L.A.P.D., CHIEF POPE,
YOURSELF,

AND EVERY MEMBER
OF YOUR DIVISION

FOR THE WRONGFUL DEATH
OF TURELL BAYLOR.

HOW ABOUT I JUST QUIT?

THEN I'LL TIE THIS LAWSUIT
AROUND YOUR NECK

AND TELL THE CITY ATTORNEY

THAT WHATEVER HAPPENED
TO TURELL BAYLOR
WAS A CONSEQUENCE

OF YOUR OWN
PERSONAL ACTIONS.

CHIEF!
CHIEF!

CHIEF, YOU OKAY?
CHIEF!

THIS IS DEPUTY CHIEF JOHNSON,
MAJOR CRIMES.

GOT AN OFFICER DOWN. REPEAT --
WE HAVE AN OFFICER DOWN!

Quintero:
DURING HIS YEARS OF SERVICE,

CHIEF THOMAS DELK EMBODIED THE
CORE VALUES OF THE L.A.P.D. --

TO SERVE AND PROTECT.

THE ANEURYSM
THAT CUT SHORT HIS LIFE

HAS ALSO ROBBED US OF HIS VISION

FOR OUR CITY'S FUTURE
IN LAW ENFORCEMENT.

CHIEF DELK WAS A FAMILY MAN,

AND HE BROUGHT THE SAME LEVEL
OF COMMITMENT AND DEDICATION

TO HIS SECOND FAMILY,
THE L.A.P.D.

AND I KNOW HE WOULD AGREE
THAT IN OUR INTERIM CHIEF,

THE TORCH HAS PASSED
TO A WORTHY LEADER,

ONE WHO WILL GUIDE US
THROUGH THIS NEXT

AND EVEN MORE DIFFICULT
TRANSITION.

CHIEF WILLIAM POPE.

WILL?

Pope: TODAY IS NOT ABOUT
OUR FUTURE PURPOSE,

BUT OUR PRESENT LOSS

AND THE TOO-SHORT LIFE OF A
30-YEAR VETERAN OF THE L.A.P.D.

THE KING IS DEAD.

YEAH.
LONG LIVE THE POPE.

I HAD THE PRIVILEGE OF WORKING
CLOSELY WITH CHIEF DELK

DURING THE FEW MONTHS
OF HIS TOO-SHORT TENURE.

ON BEHALF OF THE DEPARTMENT...

AND THE CITY,
I OFFER TOMMY'S WIFE, NICOLE,

AND HIS SONS,
CARLTON AND TOMMY JR.,

OUR DEEPEST CONDOLENCES.

BROTHERS AND SISTERS,
LET US PRAY.

Flynn: HOW LONG YOU THINK
THE COMMANDER'S

GONNA STARE
INTO THAT GRAVE?

YOU GUYS MIGHT WANT
TO CONSIDER PUTTING
TAYLOR ON SUICIDE WATCH.

DELK WAS HIS ONLY WAY UP.
POOR GUY.

Provenza: YEAH,
IT'S A REAL TRAGEDY.

FLYNN, LEND ME A HANKY.

MAJOR CRIMES.
DETECTIVE GABRIEL.

UH, CHIEF POPE?

LISTEN,
I WOULD HAVE TOLD YOU

THE MAYOR APPOINTED ME
INTERIM CHIEF,

BUT I JUST FOUND OUT MYSELF

IN THE CAR
ON THE WAY FROM THE CHURCH.

SO, I-I GUESS THIS MEANS
THAT COMMANDER TAYLOR

IS NOT GOING TO BE
ASSISTANT CHIEF?

THAT'D BE
A PRETTY GOOD GUESS. YEAH.

BUDGET SAVINGS, ANYWAY,
IN MY KEEPING BOTH POSITIONS.

SO WE'RE BACK TO NORMAL?

WELL, AS LONG AS THERE'S THE
WORD "INTERIM" IN FRONT "CHIEF,"

I NEED TO MOVE CAREFULLY.

BUT EVENTUALLY, YEAH.
A-AND WHAT ABOUT, UH,

CAPTAIN RAYDOR'S
INVESTIGATION

INTO MAJOR CRIMES,
THE SHOOTIN' NEWTON CASE?

IS THAT OVER, TOO?

Gabriel: CHIEF?
UH, ONE SECOND.

YEAH.

CHIEF?
WE CAUGHT A MURDER.

CHIEF

YES, DETECTIVE. MURDER.

WHERE?
Flynn:
OVER HERE, CHIEF!

HOW'D Y'ALL
GET HERE SO FAST?

DID YOU TAKE THE FREEWAY?
SEPULVEDA.

ANYWAY,
ABOUT AN HOUR AGO,

OFFICERS RESPONDED TO A 911 CALL
FROM INSIDE THE HOUSE.

WHEN THEY ENTERED,
THEY FOUND THE VICTIM --

FEMALE, EARLY 20s --
DEAD FOR DAYS.

WHO CALLED THIS IN?

THAT WOULD BE THE HOMEOWNERS,
DANIEL AND EMILY DIXON.

THAT'S THEIR SON, JESSE.

THEY JUST RETURNED
FROM VACATION

TO FIND THEIR HOME BURGLARIZED
AND THEIR HOUSE-SITTER DEAD.

THE, UM, VICTIM'S NAME
IS ASHLEY REED.

SHE WAS FOUND
BY MRS. DIXON.

UH, EXCUSE ME,
UH, DETECTIVE?

OH, UH, NO.
UM, SORRY, MR. DIXON.

THE PERSON THAT
YOU'D BE LOOKING FOR --

I'M DEPUTY CHIEF JOHNSON.

MR. DIXON, WOULD YOU MIND
TELLING ME WHAT Y'ALL DID

WHEN YOU FIRST GOT HOME?

DID YOU TOUCH ANYTHING?

NO, NO.
UM, I DON'T KNOW.

LIKE I TOLD THE OFFICER,

MY, UH, SON JUST GRADUATED
FROM HIGH SCHOOL.

WE TOOK HIM TO HAWAII
FOR 10 DAYS, UH, GOT BACK.

HE WAS GETTING THE BAGS
OUT OF THE CAR,

AND I HEARD MY WIFE SCREAM.

I RAN IN, AND, UH,
AND I SAW ASHLEY.

ASHLEY
WAS YOUR HOUSE

SHE WASN'T
JUST A HOUSE-SITTER.

HER MOTHER AND I ARE BEST
FRIENDS SINCE COLLEGE.

I'VE KNOWN
ASHLEY SINCE SHE WAS A BABY.

SHE WAS FAMILY.

OH, MY GOD.
THIS IS MY FAULT.

IT'S NOT YOUR FAULT.
I'M THE ONE
WHO ASKED HER TO STAY!

OH, MY GOD.

ASHLEY'S FAMILY'S
ALL IN CHICAGO.

WHAT AM I
GONNA TELL HER MOTHER?

BETTER LET US
DEAL WITH THAT, MA'AM.

UM,
I'M GONNA LOOK INSIDE NOW,

BUT IF YOU COULD KEEP TALKING
TO, UH, LIEUTENANT PROVENZA HERE

ABOUT ASHLEY, WE'D LIKE
TO LEARN EVERYTHING WE CAN.

I'M SORRY.

THANK YOU.

I'M...
PLEASE DON'T BE MAD AT...

I PUT A BLANKET
OVER HERE.

I JUST...
COULDN'T STAND THE THOUGHT

OF ANYBODY SEEING ASHLEY
LIKE THAT.

L

OKAY, BUZZ. COME ON.
LET'S GO UPSTAIRS.

WAS IT THE FALL
THAT KILLED HER?

HER NECK'S BROKEN, BUT ANYTHING
ELSE I CAN'T SAY FOR SURE.

THERE'S A LOT OF DECOMP.

SHE'S BEEN DEAD
A GOOD FOUR OR FIVE DAYS.

SHE'S PRACTICALLY NAKED.

HER SHIRT'S TORN.

ANY SIGN OF SEXUAL ASSAULT?

HARD TO TELL ON A BODY
IN THIS CONDITION.

YOU'LL HAVE TO
ASK THE DOCTOR.

YEAH, THAT'S HER.
ASHLEY REED.

GOT HER ILLINOIS
DRIVER'S LICENSE

AND HER STUDENT I.D.
FROM USC.

I ALSO FOUND HER CELLPHONE IN
A SUITCASE FULL OF CLOTHES

IN THE DOWNSTAIRS
GUEST ROOM.

WHAT WAS SHE DOING UPSTAIRS?

WOW.

THIS IS WORSE
THAN THE MASTER BEDROOM.

WELL, HE IS A TEENAGER.

SOME OF THIS MESS IS PROBABLY
FROM BEFORE THE BREAK-IN.

BUT, LOOK, FLAT-SCREEN TV
IS STILL HERE.

SO IS THE STEREO.
AND THE XBOX.

IF THIS IS WHAT
THEY LEFT BEHIND...

...WHAT DID THEY TAKE?

Tao: CELL?

YEAH.
BATTERY'S DEAD.

NOT A PROBLEM.

NO SIGN OF FORCED ENTRY,
CHIEF.

WELL, IF IT WASN'T A BREAK-IN,

WHO WOULD ASHLEY OPEN THE DOOR
FOR DRESSED LIKE THIS?

THE, UH, DIXONS' STORY
SEEMS LEGIT.

THEY SHOWED ME THEIR PLANE
TICKETS TO MAUI,

AND THEN I HAD THEM OPEN UP
THOSE FANCY SUITCASES.

AND DID YOU SEE
THOSE SUNBURNS?

I MEAN, GUESS THEY NEVER
HEARD OF SKIN CANCER.

LET'S JUST MAKE SURE
THAT THEY WEREN'T HERE

DURING THE TIME
OF THE MURDER,

SO CHECK THE AIRPORTS
AND THE HOTEL IN MAUI.

CHIEF, THE HOUSE HAS DEFINITELY
BEEN PICKED OVER,

BUT THEY DIDN'T BOTHER
WITH THE BIG-TICKET ITEMS.

MAYBE
THEY WERE INTERRUPTED.

Sanchez:
I DON'T KNOW, CHIEF.

THIS BURGLARY
LOOKS REALLY AMATEUR.

YEAH, SO, MAYBE
SOMEBODY RAPES ASHLEY,

THROWS HER OVER THE RAIL,
AND THEN JUST STAGED THE SCENE.

I GOT ASHLEY'S PHONE WORKING.

THE LAST FEW DAYS,

SHE'S RECEIVED
LOTS OF THE SAME TEXT MESSAGES.

"WHERE ARE YOU?"

HOWEVER, THE LAST MESSAGES
SHE REPLIED TO WERE SENT --

FIVE DAYS AGO?

EXACTLY.

4:30 P.M. FROM A. BANKS,
"PICK YOU UP AT 6:30?"

TO WHICH ASHLEY REPLIED,
"GREAT."

AND THEN AT 9:14 P.M.,
ANOTHER ONE FROM A. BANKS.

"HOW WAS BEDTIME?"

ASHLEY WROTE BACK,
"ALL IS WELL.

KIDS ARE ASLEEP.
HAVE FUN."

SO, SHE WAS
HOUSE-SITTING HERE

AND BABYSITTING
SOMEWHERE ELSE.

OKAY, SO, WE HAVE A PHONE NUMBER
FOR AN A. BANKS.

CAN WE GET AN ADDRESS?

MRS. BANKS?

GOOD MORNING.
I'M DEPUTY CHIEF --

OH, GOD.
WHAT HAPPENED?

IS IT ALEX?

ALEX?
IS THAT YOUR HUSBAND?

YES. YES.
WAS THERE AN ACCIDENT?

UH, NO, MA'AM.
SORRY TO ALARM YOU.

WE JUST WANT TO ASK YOU A FEW
QUESTIONS ABOUT ASHLEY REED.

ASHLEY?
SHE'S ONE OF ALEX'S STUDENTS.

HE'S A JOURNALISM
PROFESSOR.

AND DOES ASHLEY
ALSO BABYSIT FOR YOU?

LIKE LAST WEDNESDAY EVENING,
FOR EXAMPLE?

UH, YES.

MY HUSBAND AND I WENT TO DINNER
FOR OUR ANNIVERSARY.

WHAT'S THIS ABOUT?

AND HAVE YOU HEARD
FROM MS. REED SINCE?

NO, NOT SINCE
ALEX DROVE HER HOME.

OH, GOD.

DID SOMETHING HAPPEN?

IS ASHLEY
FILING A COMPLAINT?

MA'AM?

OH, MY GOD.

THIS IS WHY HE POURED ME
THAT EXTRA WINE AT DINNER.

HOW COULD I BE SO STUPID?

HE HASN'T SAID A THING ABOUT HER
FOR ALMOST A WEEK.

I'M SORRY. I...I HAVE TO
CALL HIM RIGHT AWAY.

MRS. BANKS, MAY I COME IN
FOR A MOMENT, JUST TO TALK?

THANK YOU.

THE HUSBAND?

YES. FIND HIM.

Raydor: SO, TURELL BAYLOR
CONFESSED TO THE MURDER

OF 74-YEAR-OLD
CHARLIE NILES

AND HIS 8-YEAR-OLD GRANDSON,
CHRIS.

THIS CASE COULD NOT BE
PROSECUTED, HOWEVER,

BECAUSE, AS YOU KNOW,
AT YOUR REQUEST,

THE D.A.'S OFFICE HAD GIVEN
MR. BAYLOR IMMUNITY

IN EXCHANGE
FOR HIS STATEMENT.

CHIEF JOHNSON THEN RELEASED
MR. BAYLOR AT HIS HOME.

LATER THAT DAY,

HE WAS FOUND BEATEN TO DEATH
BEHIND HIS RESIDENCE.

BUT CHIEF JOHNSON'S CONDUCT
DURING THIS INVESTIGATION,

AND THAT OF HER DIVISION,

FELL ENTIRELY WITHIN
CALIFORNIA STATE LAW

AND THE RULES AND POLICY
OF THE L.A.P.D.

CASE CLOSED.

I AM DONE.

I GOT TO SAY, CAPTAIN,
ON THE FACE OF IT,

THIS AUDIT SEEMS
INCREDIBLY SUPERFICIAL.

SIR?

I WANT YOU TO GO BACK DOWN
TO MAJOR CRIMES,

INTERVIEW EVERYONE, AND MAKE
SURE WE HAVE NO VULNERABILITIES.

WE ALWAYS
HAVE VULNERABILITIES.

OKAY.

IF YOU WANT FURTHER ANALYSIS
OF OUR LEGAL DEFENSE,

THEN I THINK
THE CITY ATTORNEY --

NO. I'M NOT OPENING OUR FILES
TO AN OUTSIDERS. PERIOD.

MY RELATIONSHIP WITH CHIEF
JOHNSON IS ALREADY COMPLICATED.

YEAH, WELL,
YOU'RE THE ONE WHO DECIDED

ON A CAREER
IN INTERNAL AFFAIRS.

LOOK, I DON'T KNOW
EXACTLY WHAT HAPPENED THAT DAY,

BUT OBVIOUSLY DROPPING
TURELL BAYLOR OFF

IN FRONT OF ANGRY
GANG MEMBERS

WAS NOT CHIEF JOHNSON'S
FINEST HOUR.

AND INSISTING ON IMMUNITY FOR
A CHILD KILLER WAS NOT YOURS.

LISTEN, CAPTAIN.

I PLAN ON KEEPING THIS JOB.

PART OF THAT PLAN
IS MAKING SURE THIS LAWSUIT

DOES NOT REFLECT BADLY
ON THE L.A.P.D.

YOU WILL GO BACK DOWN TO MAJOR
CRIMES AND FINISH YOUR AUDIT.

SEEING THAT
I AM LEGALLY PROHIBITED

FROM DISCUSSING
WITH CHIEF JOHNSON

WHY I AM HAUNTING
HER MURDER ROOM,

WOULD YOU PERHAPS
CONSIDER TELLING HER

THAT I AM THERE
UNDER DIRECT ORDERS FROM YOU?

WHAT DO YOU THINK?

Gabriel: THIS IS THE WORST PART
OF MY JOB.

GREAT TO SEE YOU AS WELL,
DETECTIVE.

YOU KNOW WHAT I MEAN.

NOW, THERE'S NOT MUCH
I CAN TELL YOU.

FIVE DAYS ON THE FLOOR
EVEN WITH THE A.C. RUNNING,

THE BODY'S
IN TERRIBLE CONDITION.

THE INTRACRANIAL BLEEDING
AND THE BROKEN NECK

ARE CONSISTENT WITH A FALL.

BUT LOOK.

BRUISING ON THE BICEP
THAT APPEARS TO BE PERIMORTEM.

SHE WAS GRABBED...TRYING TO GET
AWAY FROM HER KILLER, MAYBE.

OR BEING
THROWN OFF THE LANDING.

A

NO EVIDENCE OF FOREIGN
BIOLOGICAL MATERIALS,

THOUGH SHE WAS DEAD FOR SO LONG
BEFORE YOU FOUND HER,

I CAN'T RULE IT OUT.

WHEN YOU OPENED HER UP,

COULD YOU SEE
IF MS. REED WAS PREGNANT

OR RECENTLY HAD AN ABORTION?

YOU KNOW SOMETHING I DON'T?

ASHLEY WAS BABYSITTING
FOR ONE OF HER PROFESSORS,

A MR. ALEX BANKS,

THE MAN WHO DROVE HER HOME
THE NIGHT SHE DIED.

AND ACCORDING TO HIS WIFE,

THE PROFESSOR HAD AN AFFAIR WITH
ANOTHER STUDENT 10 MONTHS AGO.

HOW'D THE WIFE FIND OUT?

THE PROFESSOR PAID
FOR THE YOUNG WOMAN'S ABORTION

ON HIS CREDIT CARD.

HMM. CARELESS.

THAT'S WHY IT'S A GOOD IDEA
TO KEEP CASH AROUND THE HOUSE.

SO YOU THINK ASHLEY HERE

MIGHT HAVE BEEN THE PROFESSOR'S
LATEST GIRLFRIEND?

MAYBE SHE JUST
FOUND HIM MORE RESISTIBLE.

THE LAST ONE HE KNOCKED UP.

THIS ONE HE KNOCKED DOWN.

AH. EVERYTHING ABOUT THE DIXON
MAUI TRIP CHECKS OUT.

THEIR ALIBI HOLDS.

SO, I HAD THE FAMILY
GIVE ME A LIST

OF EVERYTHING THAT WAS STOLEN
FROM THE HOUSE, CHIEF.

THANK YOU.

Tao: I DOUBT WE'LL RECOVER
ANY OF IT, CHIEF, BUT, UH,

I'M PUTTING IT INTO THE STOLEN
PROPERTY SYSTEM JUST IN CASE.

CHIEF, I GOT
PROFESSOR A. BANKS MIRANDIZED

AND WAITING FOR YOU
IN INTERVIEW 1.

I, UH, TOOK HIS CELLPHONE,

SO HE HASN'T HAD A CHANCE
TO SPEAK TO HIS WIFE,

BUT HE'S GOT
LOTS OF QUESTIONS.

YEAH, SO DO I.

CHIEF. CHIEF!

COULD YOU HANG ON THERE
JUST ONE SECOND?

W-WHAT'S THE MATTER,
LIEUTENANT?

UM...CAPTAIN RAYDOR.

AND I KNOW YOU ASKED ME TO GIVE
HER EVERYTHING SHE NEEDS,

BUT NOW SHE WANTS TO INTERVIEW
EVERY MEMBER OF OUR DIVISION,

STARTING WITH ME.

I'M TELLING YOU, THE GUYS
ARE STARTING TO ASK QUESTIONS.

CHIEF...

WHAT IS THIS ALL ABOUT?

I DON'T KNOW ANYMORE.

CAPTAIN RAYDOR, MAY I SPEAK
WITH YOU FOR A MOMENT, PLEASE?

OH, OF COURSE.
YES.
THANK YOU.

WHAT ON EARTH
ARE YOU STILL DOING HERE?

I AM CONDUCTING
A TRANSPARENCY AUDIT

ON THE
SHOOTIN' NEWTON MURDERS.

ORDERED BY CHIEF DELK,
AND HE'S DEAD.

I'M POSITIVE THAT CHIEF POPE
WILL REVERSE THAT DECISION.

BUT UNTIL I AM ORDERED TO LEAVE,
YOU UNDERSTAND?

UNTIL I AM ORDERED TO LEAVE,
THEN I MUST PROCEED.

I NEED TO INTERVIEW EVERY MEMBER
OF YOUR DIVISION,

INCLUDING COMMANDER TAYLOR
AND BUZZ WATSON, STARTING NOW,

AS LONG
AS IT DOESN'T INTERFERE

WITH THE PROPER EXECUTION
OF THEIR DUTIES.

ALL RIGHT THEN.

UH, DETECTIVE SANCHEZ,
PLEASE GET A WARRANT

TO SEARCH THE PROFESSOR'S HOME,
CAR, AND OFFICE.

AND, UH, TAKE BUZZ ALONG WITH
YOU TO DOCUMENT EVERYTHING.

BUT YOU HAVE
AN INTERVIEW, CHIEF.

SHOULDN'T I --
NO. THANK YOU.

AND, COMMANDER TAYLOR,
ARE YOU HERE?

Taylor:
YEAH, I'M HERE, CHIEF.

OF COURSE YOU ARE.

UM, I'D LIKE YOU TO SUPERVISE
THE REST OF THE SQUAD

ON A GRID SEARCH.

PLEASE GET COPIES
OF THE THEFT REPORTS

AND SEE IF YOU CAN FIND
THE DIXONS' STOLEN PROPERTY

ANYWHERE BETWEEN THEIR HOME
AND THE PROFESSOR'S.

YES, MA'AM.
A-A GRID SEARCH.

BREAKS UP MY DAY
A LITTLE.

IS THIS GRID SEARCH
REALLY NECESSARY?

IF THE BURGLARY WAS A COVER-UP
FOR ASHLEY REED'S MURDER,

THEN THE KILLER OR KILLERS
WOULD HAVE DUMPED THE ITEMS

AS QUICKLY AS POSSIBLE.

YOU'RE SENDING
YOUR ENTIRE DIVISION

ON A CITYWIDE SCAVENGER HUNT

IN ORDER TO FRUSTRATE
MY INVESTIGATION.

YOUR INVESTIGATION
IS GOING TO BE HISTORY

THE MOMENT
I BRIEF CHIEF POPE.

WELL, I'D LOVE TO BE A FLY ON
THE WALL FOR THAT CONVERSATION.

MAKE SURE YOU LET ME KNOW
WHAT POPE SAYS.

PROFESSOR BANKS?

I'M SO SORRY
TO HAVE KEPT YOU WAITING.

I'M DEPUTY CHIEF JOHNSON.

I WANT TO THANK YOU SO MUCH
FOR DROPPING IN.

I
DIDN'T DROP IN. I WAS
PRACTICALLY ARRESTED.

WHEN IS SOMEONE GONNA
TELL ME WHAT THE HELL
IS GOING ON HERE?

OH, I APOLOGIZE.

UM...

WE'RE CONDUCTING
AN INVESTIGATION,

AND WE DIDN'T WANT ANY DETAILS
LEAKED TO THE PRESS.

SO, I'M SURE BEING
A JOURNALISM PROFESSOR,
YOU CAN UNDERSTAND.

MAYBE IF WE WERE
IN SOVIET RUSSIA.

PART OF MY CITIZENSHIP TEST

COVERED THE OPENNESS
OF THE AMERICAN LEGAL SYSTEM,

SO I'M JUST A LITTLE BIT
SURPRISED TO BE DRAGGED DOWNTOWN

ON SECRET POLICE BUSINESS.

IT'S NOT A SECRET, AND YOU DID
GET YOUR RIGHTS READ TO YOU.

ARE YOU FAMILIAR
WITH A YOUNG WOMAN

BY THE NAME OF ASHLEY REED?

"FAMILIAR"?

YES, I'M FAMILIAR
WITH ASHLEY.

SHE'S A STUDENT
IN MY JOURNALISM SEMINAR.

I'M HER INDEPENDENT-STUDY
ADVISER.

DO YOU HAVE A PERSONAL
RELATIONSHIP WITH HER,

O

SHE'S DONE SOME WORK
FOR MY FAMILY.

SHE LOOKED AFTER YOUR
CHILDREN FOR YOU AND
YOUR WIFE LAST WEEK,

IS THAT RIGHT?
YES.

AND WHEN SHE WAS DONE?

I DROVE HER BACK TO...

WHERE SHE WAS HOUSE-SITTING
NEARBY, SO...

AND WHEN
YOU DROPPED HER OFF,

DID YOU BY ANY CHANCE
WALK HER TO THE DOOR?

N-NO,
I DON'T BELIEVE I DID.

JUST A SIMPLE QUESTION,
PROFESSOR.

EITHER YOU WALKED HER
TO THE DOOR, OR YOU DIDN'T.

I DIDN'T.

SHE GOT OUT OF THE CAR,
AND I WENT STRAIGHT HOME.

SO, YOU DIDN'T GO
INSIDE THE HOUSE WITH HER?
NO.

YOU DIDN'T
TAKE HER CLOTHES OFF?

GOD, NO.

WHAT THE HELL IS THIS ABOUT?

HAS -- HAS ASHLEY
MADE A COMPLAINT?

DO YOU HAVE A HISTORY
OF COMPLAINTS, SIR?

I DON'T UNDERSTAND
YOUR QUESTION.

WELL,
HOW ABOUT THIS, THEN --

HAVE YOU EVER
HAD SEXUAL RELATIONS

WITH ANY OF THE GIRLS
IN YOUR CLASS?

OF COURSE NOT.

SO, IF I WERE TO ASK
ALL YOUR CURRENT STUDENTS

AND THE FORMER ONES THAT
QUESTION, THEY WOULD AGREE?

ABSOLUTELY.

NOW, THESE QUESTIONS
ARE INCREDIBLY PERSONAL,

AND I HAVE NO IDEA
WHAT THEY'RE ABOUT AT ALL.

I'LL GIVE YOU THE HEADLINE.

"CO-ED BRUTALLY SLAIN."

NOT A PICTURE YOU CAN PUT
ON THE FRONT PAGE, I IMAGINE.

NOW, TAKE A GOOD LOOK,
PROFESSOR, IF YOU WOULD.

DO YOU RECOGNIZE THAT WOMAN?

I KNOW IT MIGHT BE HARD

'CAUSE SHE'S BEEN DEAD
FOR FIVE DAYS.

ASHLEY'S...

BEEN DEAD FOR FIVE DAYS?

AND FROM WHAT
YOU JUST TOLD ME,

YOU WERE THE LAST PERSON
TO SEE HER ALIVE.

YOU CAN'T THINK I DID THIS.

WELL, THE THOUGHT
CROSSED MY MIND,

ESPECIALLY
SINCE YOU JUST LIED

ABOUT HAVING AN AFFAIR
WITH ONE OF YOUR STUDENTS

AND THE ABORTION
YOU PAID FOR --

AT LEAST IF WHAT YOUR WIFE
TELLS ME IS TRUE.

YOU SPOKE TO SARA?

OH, MY.
DID I JUST REVEAL MY SOURCE?

OH, WELL.

[ CLEARS THROAT,
SMACKS LIPS ]

WOULD YOU LIKE TO COMMENT
ON THE MURDER OF ASHLEY REED,

FOR THE RECORD?

YES, SIR. IT --
IT IS A-A BIG TASK AHEAD.

BUT, UH...UNDER THESE
UNFORTUNATE CIRCUMSTANCES,

I'M, UH,
I'M VERY GRATEFUL

TO HAVE
SUCH SUPPORTIVE PARTNERS.

OKAY.

THANK YOU, SIR.

OKAY. BYE-BYE.

COULD YOU KNOCK,
JUST SINCE I'M CHIEF?

INTERIM CHIEF.

YOU WANTED TO SEE ME?
YES.

WHY DID YOU PULL
20 UNIFORMS OFF PATROL

AND SEND THEM ON A GRID SEARCH
WITH YOUR ENTIRE DIVISION?

BECAUSE I COULDN'T
GET A CONFESSION,

AND IF THE SUSPECT FAKED
THE BURGLARY OF THE DIXON HOUSE

TO COVER UP THE RAPE
AND MURDER OF MY VICTIM,

THEN HE PROBABLY DUMPED WHATEVER
HE STOLE ON THE WAY HOME.

SO, YOU SEND YOUR WHOLE SQUAD
OUT ON...

LEGITIMATE POLICE BUSINESS

AND NOT JUST
TO AVOID CAPTAIN RAYDOR?

OH, WILL.

PLEASE, PLEASE.

CAN'T YOU JUST
MAKE HER GO AWAY?

IT'S...INCONVENIENT.
I KNOW.

LOOK, WHEN DELK
ASSIGNED RAYDOR THIS AUDIT,

I OPENLY OPPOSED IT.

BUT SINCE IT'S UNDERWAY NOW,
WE NEED TO SEE IT THROUGH.

BY THE WAY, I SAW MYSELF
ON TV IN THE UNIFORM.

WHY DID YOU NOT TELL ME
I'D GOTTEN SO...

SORRY. YOU'RE FAT.
FEEL BETTER?

LOOK.

I'M A LITTLE MORE CONCERNED
ABOUT CAPTAIN RAYDOR

INTERVIEWING MY ENTIRE DIVISION
AND ASKING TAYLOR ABOUT ME.

YEAH, I KNOW.
THAT'S ANNOYING.

AND -- AND HOW MUCH LONGER

IS HE GONNA STAY
IN THAT STUPID CUBICLE?

BRENDA, LOOK, I CAN'T START
SHUFFLING PEOPLE AROUND

UNTIL MY OWN SITUATION
IS SETTLED, OKAY?

TAYLOR IS TEMPORARY.
RAYDOR IS TEMPORARY.

UNLESS YOU WANT
SOMEBODY NEW COMING IN

WHO MAY OR MAY NOT
DISMANTLE MAJOR CRIMES,

WE NEED TO FOCUS
ON MAKING ME PERMANENT.

WELL, WHAT'S THE POINT
OF BEING IN CHARGE

IF YOU CAN'T CHANGE
ANYTHING BUT YOUR DIET?

JUST BE PATIENT, WILL YOU?
I'M WORKING ON IT.

THESE THINGS TAKE TIME.

Taylor: YOU SPEND YOUR
WHOLE LIFE IN THE SYSTEM.

YOU TRUST THAT YOUR HARD WORK
AND YEARS OF SERVICE

ARE BEING RECOGNIZED AND -- AND
GOOD THINGS WILL COME TO YOU.

THEN, POOF,
YOUR REWARD DROPS DEAD

RIGHT IN FRONT
OF YOUR EYES.

Should have
brought my own car.

I PLAYED THE GAME.

I-I-I PLAYED THE GAME
AS WELL AS ANYONE.

GUESS I WAS JUST
RIDING THE WRONG HORSE.

PROBABLY THE EXTRA WEIGHT
THAT KILLED HIM.

GABRIEL!

GABRIEL,
DID YOU FIND ANYTHING?

UH, NO, ACTUALLY.

THE, UH, GARBAGE
ON THIS SIDE OF THE STREET

WAS PICKED UP YESTERDAY.

SO, I SENT THE PATROL OFFICERS
TO THE DUMP,

AND WHEN THEY GET BACK
WE CAN CHECK

ACROSS THE STREET OVER THERE
AND SEE WHAT THEY FIND IN --

OH, NO. NO.
NO WAITING.

NOW, I AM NOT GOING TO STAY HERE
ANY LONGER THAN I HAVE TO.

SO, YOU GET YOUR COVERALLS,
YOUNG MAN.

YOU'RE GOING IN.

ARE YOU GONNA HELP?

I DON'T DUMPSTER.

MA'AM, THIS WARRANT GIVES US
THE RIGHT TO SEARCH YOUR HOME,

GARAGE, AUTOMOBILES, COMPUTERS,
AND E-MAIL ACCOUNTS.

BUT IF YOU COULD
SIGN THIS CONSENT FORM,

IT WOULD SHOW
YOUR COOPERATION.

I NEED
TO TALK TO MY HUSBAND.

HE'S NOT
ANSWERING HIS PHONE.

HAVE YOU...FOUND SOME KIND
OF EVIDENCE THAT HE --

I MEAN,
IS HE UNDER ARREST?

MA'AM, WE JUST NEED
TO SEARCH THE HOUSE.

HOPE YOU GUYS AREN'T TOO HOT.

IF I FIND A BIG UMBRELLA IN
HERE, I'LL MAKE YOU SOME SHADE.

HE HAD ME TO HIS HOUSE,
YOU KNOW -- DELK --

RIGHT BEFORE HE DIED.

"TRUST ME," HE SAYS.
"I GOT BIG PLANS FOR YOU."

HEY, WAIT.
WAIT, WAIT, WAIT. HEY.

WHOA. HANG ON.
HANG ON.

GABRIEL, GET DOWN HERE.

GLADLY.

HUH?

NOW, THAT'S THE SAME KIND OF
LUGGAGE THAT THE DIXONS HAD,

THE ONES
THEY TOOK TO HAWAII.

YOU SURE?
YEAH, YEAH.

MUST BE PART OF A SET.
OPEN THAT UP, DAVID.

UNBELIEVABLE.

GOOD CATCH, LIEUTENANT.
YEAH.

GOOD CATCH.

YEAH.

OH.
IT'S PASSWORD-PROTECTED.

LET ME SEE IF I CAN GET AHOLD
OF THE MANUFACTURER.

SOMETIMES, IF YOU GIVE THEM
A SERIAL NUMBER,

THEY CAN GIVE YOU
A WORKAROUND.

EXCELLENT JOB, COMMANDER.

CAN'T BELIEVE
YOU FOUND ANYTHING.

WELL, NEVER BET AGAINST MY
YEARS OF EXPERIENCE, CAPTAIN.

YEAH. WE COULDN'T
HAVE DONE IT WITHOUT YOU.

A REGULAR NANCY DREW.

Tao: ENGLISH.

DID YOU FIND
PROFESSOR BANKS' FINGERPRINTS

ON ANY OF THE ITEMS
THAT YOU RECOVERED?

UH, NO. BUT WE'LL GET HIM.
DON'T YOU WORRY.

TECH...SUPPORT!

HEY, SO, I'M ENTERING
THE STUFF WE FOUND

INTO THE STOLEN PROPERTY SYSTEM,
AND IT'S A FUNNY THING --

THE DIXONS, THEY NEVER MENTION
A MISSING LAPTOP.

REPRESENTATIVE.

MAYBE THE COMPUTER
BELONGED TO ASHLEY REED

AND THE PROFESSOR TOOK IT

TO HIDE INCRIMINATING
COMMUNICATION BETWEEN THEM.

REPRESENTATIVE.

REPRESENTATIVE!

OH, GEEZ.
I'M GONNA BE HERE ALL NIGHT.

CHIEF, THE PROFESSOR'S WIFE
IS HERE TO SEE HIM.

WE SET THEM UP
IN THE BREAK ROOM.

I WIRED THE WALLS AND THE
CEILING TILES LIKE YOU ASKED.

I CAN'T GUARANTEE THAT
THEY'LL ALWAYS BE ON CAMERA,

BUT THE SOUND
SHOULD BE FINE.

ALL RIGHT, THEN.

LET'S SEE
WHAT THE, UH, LOVEBIRDS

HAVE TO SAY TO EACH OTHER.

HOW MANY MORE WERE THERE?

JUST TELL ME, ALEX.

HOW MANY OTHER STUDENTS
WERE YOU SCREWING?

NONE, SARA.

IT'S NOT TRUE.

LET'S JUST
GET IT ALL OUT, OKAY?

NOW THAT THINGS
ARE AS BAD AS THEY CAN BE.

THE POLICE TORE APART
OUR HOUSE, ALEX,

RIGHT IN FRONT
OF THE CHILDREN.

JUST TELL ME WHAT YOU DID
TO THAT POOR GIRL.

YOU DON'T REALLY BELIEVE
I MURDERED HER.

DO YOU SERIOUSLY THINK

THAT I'M CAPABLE
OF SOMETHING LIKE THAT?

I DIDN'T THINK YOU WERE CAPABLE
OF CHEATING ON ME, EITHER,

AND I NEVER
IN A MILLION YEARS THOUGHT

THAT YOU COULD LIE TO
MY FACE WHILE YOU WERE
DESTROYING OUR FAMILY!

I PROMISED I WOULD NEVER

DO ANYTHING LIKE THAT
TO YOU AGAIN.

I'VE BEEN TAKING
OUR COUNSELING SERIOUSLY.

I'M SPENDING MORE TIME
WITH THE KIDS.

I AM TRYING SO HARD
TO REBUILD OUR TRUST.

YEAH, WELL,
IT'S NOT WORKING.

DID YOU MARRY ME
TO BECOME A CITIZEN?

JUST TELL THE TRUTH, ALEX.

WAS I A WAY OUT OF VISAS
AND GREEN CARDS?

OH, LET'S NOT HAVE
THIS CONVERSATION AGAIN!

I UNDERSTAND
WHY YOU'RE SO UPSET. I DO.

BUT THIS IS IMPORTANT.

IF YOU TALK
TO THE POLICE AGAIN,

YOU NEED TO TELL THEM...

...THAT I CAME STRAIGHT HOME
AFTER I DROPPED ASHLEY OFF

AND THAT YOU WERE AWAKE
WHEN I GOT INTO BED.

W WHY?

BECAUSE THAT'S WHAT
I TOLD THEM.

HERE WE GO.

LET'S HOPE.

YOU MEAN, YOU DIDN'T
COME STRAIGHT HOME?

OH, MY GOD, ALEX.

WHAT DID YOU DO?

I, UH...

I...DROVE AROUND
FOR A LITTLE BIT.

WHAT DID YOU DO, ALEX?

I WAS TIRED,
AND -- AND I-I --

NO!
JUST TELL ME THE TRUTH!

WHAT DID YOU DO?!

I DROVE BY
CHLOE'S HOUSE AGAIN.

CHLOE

THAT'S THE FORMER
STUDENT/MISTRESS.

WHAT?

SARA, LET ME
EXPLAIN WHY --

YOU...YOU WENT
TO THAT WHORE'S HOUSE AGAIN?

ARE YOU SERIOUS?

WHILE I WAS PASSED OUT
FROM THE EXTRA WINE THAT
YOU PUT IN MY GLASS

WHILE YOUR OWN CHILDREN
WERE SLEEPING IN THEIR BEDS...
DON'T USE THEM --

...ON OUR ANNIVERSARY?!

IT WAS --
IT WAS THE WRONG THING TO DO.

I AM REALLY SORRY,

AND I AM COMPLETELY ASHAMED
RIGHT NOW.
OH.

BUT I DID NOT
GO IN TO HER HOUSE.
ASHAMED.

WHAT ARE YOU --
I DID NOT
GET OUT OF THE CAR.

I DID NOT
TALK TO HER EVEN!

AND I CAME RIGHT HOME!
WHY ARE YOU EVEN
TELLING ME THIS?!

BECAUSE I LIED TO THE POLICE,

AND THEY MAY ASK YOU
WHERE I WAS...

...SO IF STILL MEAN...

ANYTHING TO YOU, SARA...

LISTEN.

KNOWING HOW THIS
WILL MAKE YOU FEEL,

I WOULD NEVER TELL YOU
THAT I DROVE BY CHLOE'S HOUSE

UNLESS IT WERE TRUE.

HMM?

IF YOU COULD JUST --

DON'T...TOUCH ME.

SARA...THIS IS MY LIFE...

WE'RE TALKING ABOUT.

IT'S NOT WHAT YOU THINK.

YOU WANT TO KNOW
WHAT I THINK?

I THINK
YOU NEED A LAWYER.

I THINK I NEED ONE, TOO.

THAT'S ENOUGH
TO HOLD HIM OVERNIGHT.

LIEUTENANT FLYNN,
WOULD YOU PLEASE

EXTEND AN INVITATION
TO THE PROFESSOR, PLEASE?

MM-HMM.

Fritz: I TOLD YOU.
DIDN'T I TELL YOU?

I TOLD YOU,
DO NOT TRUST POPE.

LOOK, WILL IS IN A DIFFICULT
POSITION RIGHT NOW.

DIFFICULT POSITION?
HE'S CHIEF.

AND NOW THAT HE'S ON TOP,
HE'S GONNA FIGHT TO STAY THERE,

EVEN IF THAT MEANS
THROWING YOU UNDER THE BUS.

YOU KNOW, WILL
IS ON THIS LAWSUIT, TOO.

IT'S RAYDOR.

NOW SHE WANTS TO INTERVIEW
MY ENTIRE DIVISION.

AH-HA!
WHAT "AH

POPE SICCED RAYDOR ON YOU
SO YOU COULD TAKE ALL THE BLAME,

AND HE GETS TO KEEP
HIS FOURTH STAR.
NO.

YOUR FRIEND CHIEF DELK
SICCED RAYDOR ON ME.

AND SHE'S STILL FOLLOWING YOU,
ISN'T SHE?

BECAUSE POPE WANTS HER TO.

HE IS A SURVIVOR, THAT GUY,
LIKE A -- LIKE A COCKROACH.

LOOK, WHEN IT COMES TO WILL,
YOU ARE JUST IRRATIONAL.

YEAH, WELL, YOU'RE --
YOU'RE JUST TOO TRUSTING.

I GUARANTEE YOU, IF YOU DON'T
LOOK OUT FOR YOURSELF,

NO ONE ELSE IN THE L.A.P.D. --
AND I MEAN NO ONE --

IS GONNA END UP
HAVING YOUR BACK.

LIEUTENANT TAO,
YOU'RE STILL AT WORK?

I'm sorry
to call so late, Chief.

YOU KNOW THAT COMPUTER
WE FOUND IN THE DUMPSTER?

I COULDN'T
GET PAST THE PASSWORD,

AND THE COMPANY WAS NO HELP.

I'M SORRY.

OH, THAT'S OKAY.

I JUST THINK IT'S SO GREAT
YOU STAYED SO LATE

TO HELP ME WITH MY CASE.

I KNEW YOU HAD MY BACK!

HEY, TAO DOESN'T COUNT.

OKAY.

OH, BUT, CHIEF,
HERE'S SOME NEWS.

I just got around to entering
the laptop into the S.P.S...

THAT'S THE "STOLEN PROPERTY
SYSTEM."

I KNOW WHAT THAT MEANS,
LIEUTENANT.

WELL, I-IT TURNS OUT
IT WAS STOLEN.

WELL, OBVIOUSLY,
IT WAS STOLEN.

No, no, no, Chief.

THE LAPTOP WAS PUT INTO
THE SYSTEM...FOUR MONTHS AGO.

FOUR MONTHS AGO?

THEN WHO OWNED IT
BEFORE LAST WEEK?

WELL, I DON'T REMEMBER NEEDING
A PASSWORD TO ACCESS IT,

BUT THIS IS MY OLD LAPTOP,
ALL RIGHT.

AND WHAT MAKES YOU SO SURE?

THE, UH, "Q" IS STICKY,
AND IT'S ABOUT TO FALL OUT.

AND THIS SCRATCH
ON THE TOP HERE,

I HAD THE COMPUTER
ON THE SOFA,

AND MY DOG JUMPED UP ON IT
AND DID THAT WITH HER NAILS.

OH,
AND I BROUGHT MY RECEIPT.

SEE THERE.
GERALD WEIN.

UH-HUH.
THAT'S ME.

DO YOU KNOW HOW THE BURGLARS
GAINED ENTRY INTO YOUR HOME?

DON'T REALLY KNOW.

SOMEHOW
THEY DISABLED THE ALARM.

THERE WASN'T ANY SIGN
OF A BREAK-IN.

AND WHERE WERE YOU,
MR. WEIN,

DURING THE TIME
OF THE BURGLARY?

I TOOK THE FAMILY SKIING
UP IN DODGE RIDGE.

WE WERE GONE FOR A WEEK.

WE CAME HOME TO FIND
THE FRONT DOOR OPEN

AND THE HOUSE
COMPLETELY TRASHED.

BUT IT WASN'T
AS BAD AS IT LOOKED.

THEY DIDN'T
TOUCH THE ARTWORK,

AND ASIDE FROM THE COMPUTER
AND SOME OF MY WIFE'S JEWELRY,

NOT MUCH WAS STOLEN.

IN FACT, THE DETECTIVE
WHO CAME TO THE HOUSE --

HE SAID THE WHOLE THING
LOOKED AMATEUR.

DID HE NOW?

A-AND WHO KNEW Y'ALL
WERE GOING OUT OF TOWN?

IT WASN'T A SECRET.
MY...ASSISTANT, I GUESS.

MY WIFE'S SISTER
HAD OUR COMPLETE ITINERARY,

AND MY SON POSTED IT
ON HIS FACEBOOK PAGE.

SO, BASICALLY, THE WORLD.

TEENAGERS.

YEAH. GOSH,
THEY GROW UP SO FAST.

IT MAY HAVE BEEN OUR LAST
VACATION TOGETHER AS A FAMILY.

DENNIS IS OFF TO COLLEGE
IN THE FALL.

JUST GRADUATED HIGH SCHOOL.

JUST GRADUATED HIGH SCHOOL?

REALLY

Flynn:
RIGHT THIS WAY, PLEASE.

THANK Y'ALL SO MUCH
FOR COMING DOWN.

ANYTHING
WE CAN DO TO HELP.

WE'RE ALL JUST SO DEVASTATED
ABOUT ASHLEY.

HAVE YOU SPOKEN
TO HER MOTHER YET?

SHE WON'T TALK TO ME.

DID YOU FIND
WHO DID THIS?

UH, WE'VE MADE AN ARREST.
YES.

OH, THANK GOD.
OH, WELL,
THAT'S GOOD NEWS.

WHO WAS IT?

SOMEONE WITH A HISTORY
OF BAD BEHAVIOR...

...BUT WE'RE HAPPY TO SAY
THAT WE RECOVERED

MOST OF THE ITEMS
STOLEN FROM YOUR HOUSE.

IT ALL SEEMS SO TRIVIAL
AT THIS POINT.

WELL, IT'S BEEN VERY HELPFUL
IN CLOSING OUR CASE.

OH, THERE'S MY WATCH.
Provenza: OH, SIR. SORRY.

IF YOU DON'T MIND, WE HAVE A
SYSTEM HERE WE HAVE TO MANAGE.

YEAH, MR. AND MRS. DIXON,
IN ORDER TO ENSURE

ALL RECOVERED PROPERTY IS
RETURNED TO ITS RIGHTFUL OWNER,

WE NEED A SIGNED DECLARATION
FOR EACH INDIVIDUAL ITEM.

SO, IF YOU COULD JUST FILL OUT
THESE FORMS HERE IN TRIPLICATE

AND DATE AND SIGN AT THE "X,"
THAT WOULD BE GREAT.

YOU CAN SIT DOWN
RIGHT OVER HERE.

THEN I HAVE TO INPUT EVERYTHING
INTO THE COMPUTER.

WE CAN START WITH THE WATCH,
IF YOU LIKE, SIR.
OKAY. THANK YOU.

Flynn: YOU WANT
TO PUT PUT THESE GLOVES ON?

YOU DON'T WANT TO GET
ANY FINGERPRINT DUST
ALL OVER YOUR HANDS.

YEAH. AND, JESSE, WE HAVE
YOUR THINGS OVER HERE.

MY THINGS?

THE THIEF TOOK A SPECIAL
INTEREST IN YOUR ROOM.

RIGHT THIS WAY.

COME ON IN, JESSE.
HAVE A SEAT.

YOU'RE OFF TO COLLEGE
NEXT YEAR, HUH?

THAT'S EXCITING.

YEAH, I GUESS.
HMM.

THIS IS ONE FANCY PEN.

LET ME GUESS --
GRADUATION PRESENT?

YEAH.
I GOT A FEW OF THOSE.
UH-HUH.

DON'T PEOPLE KNOW

Y'ALL ONLY USE COMPUTERS
THESE DAYS?

SPEAKING OF WHICH...

FOUND YOUR LAPTOP.

THANKS.
IF YOU COULD JUST,
UH, BOOT IT UP FOR US

SO WE CAN LIST IT AS YOURS
AND WRAP THIS THING UP.

YEAH. SURE. OKAY.

ALL GOOD, THEN?

IT'S YOURS?

YEAH.
GREAT.

YOU KNOW, IT'S FUNNY.

WHILE I WAS INVESTIGATING
ASHLEY'S MURDER,

I FOUND A SERIES OF OTHER
BURGLARIES IN YOUR NEIGHBORHOOD.

REALLY?

IN FACT, I WAS JUST VISITING
WITH A MR. WEIN.

NAME RING A BELL?

HIS SON, DENNIS, WAS A SENIOR
IN HIGH SCHOOL WITH YOU.

THEIR HOUSE WAS BURGLARIZED

WHEN THEY WERE ON FAMILY
VACATION, JUST LIKE YOURS.

YOU SEE, WE SPOKE TO A
MR. SIMMONS AND A MRS. PRESTON,

AND THEY ALSO HAD BURGLARIES

THAT OCCURRED
WHILE THEY WERE OUT OF TOWN.

AND WOULD YOU BELIEVE
THEY ALSO HAVE KIDS

WHO JUST GRADUATED
FROM YOUR HIGH SCHOOL.

I DON'T REALLY RECOGNIZE
THOSE NAMES, SO, UM...

REALLY? HMM.
THAT'S ODD.

THEIR PARENTS
KNEW YOU REALLY WELL.

SAID YOU AND THEIR KIDS
WERE THICK AS THIEVES.

SO, TELL ME, JESSE,

IF YOU REALLY
DON'T KNOW THESE PEOPLE,

HOW IS IT THAT THIS COMPUTER,
WHICH YOU JUST SAID WAS YOURS,

WHICH YOU SOMEHOW
FAILED TO REPORT AS STOLEN,

WHICH HAS YOUR PASSWORD ON IT,
ENDED UP IN YOUR ROOM,

WHEN WE KNOW FOR A FACT THAT
IT WAS STOLEN FROM MR. WEIN?

UM...WELL --

COME ON, JESSE.

IT'S CLEAR
YOU AND YOUR FRIENDS

WERE ROBBING
EACH OTHER'S HOUSES.

WHAT I WANT TO KNOW
IS WHY.

BEFORE YOU TELL ME...
DETECTIVE GABRIEL?

JESSE DIXON, YOU HAVE
THE RIGHT TO REMAIN SILENT.

ANYTHING YOU SAY CAN
AND WILL BE USED AGAINST YOU

IN A COURT OF LAW.

YOU HAVE THE RIGHT
TO AN ATTORNEY.

IF YOU CANNOT
AFFORD AN ATTORNEY,

ONE WILL BE APPOINTED TO YOU
BY THE STATE.

OR WE COULD BRING YOUR PARENTS
IN ON THIS, GET THEIR ADVICE.

YOU WANT ME TO GO GET
YOUR MOM AND DAD?
NO, LOOK. NO, WAIT.

IT ALL STARTED ON A DARE.

LIKE, UM, YOU KNOW,
COULD WE REALLY PULL OFF

BREAKING INTO
EACH OTHER'S HOUSES

WITHOUT GETTING CAUGHT AND
TAKING SOME OF THE COOL STUFF

OUR PARENTS WOULDN'T
CARE ABOUT SO MUCH

OR THAT INSURANCE COMPANIES
WOULD REPLACE?

THERE WAS NO SIGN
OF FORCED ENTRY

AT ANY OF THESE HOUSES.

OKAY, BECAUSE WE PUT EVERYTHING
INTO A PILE --

HOUSE KEYS, ALARM CODES,
YOU KNOW,

THE PASSWORDS THAT YOU USE
IF THE RENT-A-COPS COME AROUND.

AND, LOOK.
OUR -- OUR PARENTS ARE RICH.

HALF THE STUFF WE TOOK

THEY PROBABLY DIDN'T EVEN
NOTICE WAS GONE.

I-IT WAS JUST SOMETHING
WE DID DURING OUR SENIOR YEAR.

IT WAS A JOKE.

A JOKE?

BECAUSE I DON'T THINK
THAT MURDER IS SO FUNNY.

NOW, WHO ALL WAS IN
THIS LITTLE GANG OF YOURS, HUH?

I'VE GOT FINGERPRINTS
FROM ALL THESE ROBBERIES.

ALL I NEED IS THE NAMES
TO GO WITH THEM.

ALL RIGHT.

UH, DETECTIVE GABRIEL, WOULD YOU
PLEASE MANAGE THE SUSPECT HERE

WHILE I GO
AND INFORM THE PARENTS?

JESSE DIXON, YOU'RE UNDER ARREST
FOR THE MURDER OF ASHLEY REED.

STAND UP
AND PUT YOUR HANDS --
NO, YOU CAN'T --
YOU CAN'T ARREST ME.

I WASN'T THERE.
I WASN'T THERE!

IT DOESN'T MATTER
THAT YOU WEREN'T THERE.

YOUR LITTLE SENIOR PRANK

WAS ACTUALLY
A CRIMINAL CONSPIRACY,

AND WHEN SOMEONE
GETS MURDERED

DURING THE COMMISSION
OF THAT CRIME,

IT'S FELONY MURDER.

PLEASE,
THERE WAS NO CONSPIRACY.

YOU JUST ADMITTED
YOU WERE PART OF A GANG.

BUT I QUIT. I DID.
A LONG TIME AGO.
OH, COME ON.

WE'RE SUPPOSED TO
BELIEVE THAT?
IT'S THE TRUTH!

OKAY, SO YOU QUIT,
BUT NOT BEFORE TELLING THEM

YOU WERE GONNA BE
GOING OUT OF TOWN.
AND NOW ASHLEY IS DEAD.

I SWEAR TO GOD, I HAD NO IDEA
THEY WERE GONNA HIT MY HOUSE.

I WOULD'VE WARNED THEM
ASHLEY WAS THERE.

I LOVED ASHLEY.

OKAY, SO, WHO ARE THEY,

THE REST OF YOUR
MERRY PRANKSTERS?

I-I KNOW ABOUT DENNIS,
BUT WHO ELSE?

PLEASE. YOU'RE ASKING ME
TO RUIN THE LIVES OF MY FRIENDS.

YOU JUST SAID
YOU LOVED ASHLEY,

AND HER LIFE LOOKS PRETTY RUINED
TO ME, DON'T YOU THINK?!

THEY DIDN'T JUST
STEAL FROM YOUR PARENTS.

DIDN'T YOU NOTICE?
THEY TOOK YOUR STUFF, TOO.

DON'T YOU THINK
THEY WERE SENDING YOU

A PRETTY SERIOUS MESSAGE?

HAVE YOU SPOKEN
TO YOUR CO-CONSPIRATORS

SINCE ASHLEY'S MURDER?

WHAT DID THEY SAY?

THAT THEY STOLE YOUR STUFF

AND RAPED ASHLEY
TO GET BACK AT YOU?
NO, NO, NO, NO.

THEY DID NOT RAPE ASHLEY!

THE DIDN'T EVEN KNOW
SHE WAS THERE, ALL RIGHT?

ASHLEY -- THEY ALL SAID
ASHLEY SURPRISED THEM.

SHE RAN OFF
TO CALL THE POLICE,

AND THEY WERE JUST
TRYING TO STOP HER.

THERE WAS NO RAPE!
IT WAS AN ACCIDENT!

I NEED
TO HEAR THAT FROM THEM.

I WANT NAMES NOW!

YOU REALLY THINK
THAT YOUR FRIENDS

ARE GOING TO TRUST YOU
TO KEEP QUIET FOR THE
REST OF YOUR LIFE?

THEY'RE NOT.

YOU'RE A LOOSE END,
MY FRIEND.

AND IN MY BUSINESS, LOOSE ENDS
DON'T FARE SO WELL.

WHAT DO YOU THINK, JESSE?

Flynn: OKAY,
SO, WHAT DO YOU WANT,

THE, UH, SKU NUMBER
OR THE SERIAL NUMBER?
Tao: GIVE ME BOTH.

OKAY.

WE GOT BRAVO, ALPHA, SIX.

BRAVO, ALPHA, SIX.

FOUR, FOXTROT,
CHARLIE, ECHO.

FOUR, FOXTROT,
CHARLIE, ECHO.

HOW MUCH LONGER
IS THIS GONNA TAKE?

OH, UM...

NOT LONG.

THANK YOU, JESSE.

WE'LL ROUND UP THESE
LITTLE FRIENDS OF YOURS.

I GUESS, UM...

I GUESS I WON'T BE GOING TO
BERKELEY THIS FALL, WILL I?

NO, BUT, UH, WE'LL FIND
SOME OTHER STATE INSTITUTION

WITH A LIBRARY
IN IT FOR YOU.

WILL YOU LET ME
TELL MY PARENTS?

I'D RATHER
THEY HEAR IT FROM ME.

SURE.

Brenda: CAPTAIN.

CHIEF JOHNSON.

ONCE AGAIN,
YOU'VE MANAGED TO SEND

YOUR ENTIRE SQUAD OF ELITE
DETECTIVES INTO THE FIELD,

THIS TIME TO APPREHEND
A GROUP OF SUSPECTS

THAT COULD HAVE EASILY
BEEN PICKED UP BY PATROL.

MURDER SUSPECTS,
SEVEN OF THEM IN ALL.

TEENAGERS. SO, LOTS OF PARENTS
TO DEAL WITH.

LOOK,
WHETHER OR NOT YOU LIKE IT,

WHETHER OR NOT I LIKE IT,
FRANKLY,

I HAVE TO
FINISH THIS AUDIT,

WHICH I MEANS I NEED
TO SPEAK TO YOUR PEOPLE.

NO, YOU DON'T.

YOU'RE QUESTIONING MY
INVESTIGATION AND MY ORDERS.

THAT AUDIT SHOULD BEGIN
AND END WITH ME.

BUT IT WON'T.

EXCUSE ME.

PROFESSOR BANKS, UH, WE HAVE
JUST FINISHED ARRESTING

ALL THOSE RESPONSIBLE FOR
THE MURDER OF ASHLEY REED.

YEAH, I HEARD ABOUT THAT,
A BURGLARY RING GONE AWRY.

GOOD FOR YOU.

OF COURSE,
THE REAL IRONY HERE IS,

IF I HAD ACTUALLY BEEN
HAVING AN AFFAIR WITH ASHLEY,

IF I WALKED HER TO THE DOOR
AND GONE INSIDE...

SHE MIGHT STILL BE ALIVE.

WELL, THAT'S THE BEST
JUSTIFICATION FOR ADULTERY

I'VE HEARD IN A LONG TIME.

ANYWAY, UM,
WE ARE OFFICIALLY SORRY

ABOUT ANY MISUNDERSTANDING,
AND YOU'RE FREE TO GO HOME.

THANKS.

BUT IT'S BEEN MADE
QUITE CLEAR TO ME

THAT I DON'T HAVE A HOME
TO GO TO ANYMORE.

I'M...SORRY ABOUT THAT.

I KNOW THIS ALL HAPPENED

DURING A DIFFICULT TIME
IN YOUR MARRIAGE.

I CERTAINLY KNOW
HOW HARD IT IS

TO BE ACCUSED OF THINGS
YOU HAVEN'T DONE.

YEAH.

I'M NOT EXACTLY INNOCENT,
THOUGH, AM I?

THAT'S THE TROUBLE.

I CHEATED ON MY WIFE
AND MY FAMILY...

...MORE THAN ONCE,
HONESTLY,

BECAUSE I THOUGHT
I COULD GET AWAY WITH IT.

BUT NOT EVERY MISTAKE
CAN BE FIXED WITH AN APOLOGY,

NO MATTER
HOW SORRY YOU ARE.

EXCUSE ME.
WELL, YOU'RE OWNING UP
TO WHAT YOU'VE DONE.

THAT'S A START.

AT WHAT?
