SHAW LOOKS PISSED --

LIKE HE GOT STOOD UP
OR SOMETHING.

I FIND NOTHING CONNECTING SHAW
TO THIS ADDRESS.

I'LL MARK IT DOWN.

NOW WHAT?

HERE. LOOK.

YOU KNOW THIS GUY?

NO, BUT SHAW DOES.

HEY.
HEY, WHAT WAS THAT?

OH! THAT'S NOT GOOD.
NOT GOOD.

COME ON, MORRIS.
WE GOT TO STOP THIS.

HE'S GONNA KILL THIS GUY.

YOU KNOW HE'S --
JUST WAIT.

YOU WANT TO EXPLAIN
TO THE U.S. ATTORNEY

HOW WE SAT HERE AND FILMED A GUY
GETTING BEATEN TO DEATH

INSTEAD
OF SAVING HIS LIFE?

ALL RIGHT.
COME ON, DAMN IT.

WHOA, WHOA, WHOA,
WHOA, WHOA, WHOA.

WAIT, WAIT, WAIT, WAIT.
THEY'RE STOPPING.

OH. FIGHT'S OVER.

THE GUY SHAW BEAT UP NEEDS
AN AMBULANCE. I'M CALLING 911.

WOMAN: 911.
What's your emergency?

YEAH,
THIS IS AGENT BURNS, FBI.

I NEED L.A.P.D. TO RESPOND
TO 1919 NORTH KINGSLEY STREET.

TELL THEM WE NEED THE IDENTITY
OF THE VICTIM

AND TELL THEM TO GET HERE QUICK
BEFORE HE DRIVES AWAY.

YEAH, IT'S A DARK-BLUE PICKUP
PARKED IN THE DRIVEWAY.
HEY, SHAW'S ON THE MOVE.

GOD DAMN!
SHAW'S ON THE MOVE!
DRIVER NEEDS
MEDICAL ASSISTANCE.

L.A.P.D. NEEDS TO GET US
AN I.D. ASAP.

LET'S GO, BURNS!
START THE VEHICLE! LET'S GO!

YEAH, HE'S ALIVE.
HE'S ALIVE.

HE'S BEAT TO HELL,
BUT HE'S ALIVE.

WE'RE LOSING SHAW!
COME ON!

WHERE'S CHIEF JOHNSON?

UH, HER PARENTS DROPPED IN
FOR A QUICK VISIT,

SO WE'VE DECIDED TO LEAVE HER
OUT OF THIS FOR NOW.

WHAT DID THE FBI SAY
HAPPENED HERE?

WELL, THE GUY I SPOKE TO,

AN AGENT MORRIS, SAID THERE WAS
SOME KIND OF FISTFIGHT.

BUT WHEN THEY LEFT,
THE VICTIM WAS STILL ALIVE.

Flynn: WELL, IF IT
MAKES YOU FEEL ANY BETTER,

THE FEDS ARE TELLING THE TRUTH
ABOUT THE FIGHT.

THE BLOOD TRAIL STRETCHES
ABOUT 10 FEET THIS WAY,

BUT I'M PRETTY SURE
IT'S THE GUNSHOTS IN HIS HEAD

THAT KILLED HIM.

TWO, UP CLOSE.

SO HERE'S THE TIMELINE.

FBI DIALS 911
AT 7:32 P.M.

RIGHT?

OFFICERS ARE DISPATCHED,
ARRIVE AT 7:37 P.M.

VICTIM IS D.O.A.

SO WE'RE EXPECTED TO BELIEVE
THIS MURDER HAPPENED

IN THE FIVE MINUTES
BETWEEN THE FBI LEAVING

AND OUR OFFICERS
RESPONDING?

WHAT THE HELL KIND OF OPERATION
IS THE FBI RUNNING

THAT THEY LET THIS GUY
GET KILLED?

Taylor:
SURVEILLANCE, PROVENZA.

THEY JUST WANTED HIS NAME.

REGISTRATION AND PLATES

SAY HE'S A PAUL BURKE
OF SANTA MONICA, SIR.

ALL RIGHT.

LET ME CALL THE FBI.

NO, NO, NO.
JUST HOLD ON, COMMANDER.

HOLD ON.

I-I DON'T WANT TO GIVE
THE FBI THIS NAME

UNLESS WE GET WHAT WE NEED
IN RETURN.

LIKE THE NAME OF THE GUY
THEY HAD UNDER SURVEILLANCE

WHEN HE KILLED OUR VICTIM.

A.K.A. OUR MAIN SUSPECT.

THEY'LL NEVER GIVE US
THAT, ANDY.

WELL,
NOT WITH THAT ATTITUDE.

OUR BOY, JIMMY,
SAYS HE'S GONNA STAY

UP IN MANHATTAN
FOR CHRISTMAS.

SAYS HE AND HIS ROOMMATE,
THAT FRANK,

HAVE OTHER PLANS
FOR THE HOLIDAYS.

I'D THINK HE'D SEEN ENOUGH
OF FRANK.

I MEAN, THEY SHARE
THAT TINY, LITTLE APARTMENT,

BOTH OF THEM SPLITTING
ONE BEDROOM.

I-I JUST COULDN'T DO THAT.

NOW, CLAY JR. --
HE'S WORKING SO MUCH

THAT HE'S PROBABLY GONNA SPEND
CHRISTMAS IN HIS OFFICE.

WELL, YOU KNOW,

YOU AND WILLIE RAY
ARE ALWAYS WELCOME

TO SPEND THE HOLIDAYS
WITH US IF YOU --

AND DON'T GET ME STARTED
ON BOBBY!

I'M NOT RUNNING DOWN
MY KIDS.

DON'T YOU GET THAT IDEA
AT ALL.

BUT NOT ONE OF THEM CAN BREAK
AWAY TO MEET US FOR CHRISTMAS.

THAT'S JUST MIND-BOGGLING.

HELLO?

UH, SORRY TO BOTHER YOU,
CHIEF.

I NEED TO SPEAK TO YOUR HUSBAND
FOR A MINUTE.

WHY?
WHAT'S GOING ON?

OH, YOU KNOW, NOTHING.

UM, JUST LOOKING FOR SOME
BACKGROUND INFO.

WOW, THIS WAS UP-CLOSE
AND PERSONAL.

A lot of sooting.
SOOTING?

LIEUTENANT,
I

UH, CHIEF, I...

I-I NEED YOU TO PUT
SPECIAL AGENT HOWARD

ON THE PHONE, PLEASE.

LET'S MOVE
THE BODY ON 3.

1, 2, 3.

BODY?!
LIEUTENANT!

DID HE HANG UP ON ME?

WHERE'S MY CELL?

HELLO?

YES, LIEUTENANT PROVENZA.

PROVENZA: I have a victim
under surveillance.

UH, IS THAT -- WHY --

GIVE ME THE PHONE.

THE WORD IS "PLEASE."

"PLEASE GIVE ME
THE PHONE."

YEAH, LIEUTENANT,
GO ON.

I need to ask you about
an Agent Morris

who's dealing with it.

Yes, Lieutenant, we have
several surveillance situations

going on right now.

THE CHIEF.

Could you give me
a few more details?

Are you there,
Lieutenant?

Hello?
UH, YEAH,

THIS AGENT MORRIS
ADMITS TO WITNESSING

MOST OF WHAT HAPPENED
TO OUR VICTIM,

WHOSE NAME THE FBI WANTS,

AND I CAN GIVE YOU THAT,

BUT IN RETURN,
I WANT THE NAME

of the guy that Morris
had under surveillance.

UH, NOW, IF HE TURNS OUT
NOT TO BE THE SHOOTER,

HE COULD BE THE LAST PERSON
TO SEE OUR VICTIM ALIVE.

WILL NO ONE PICK UP THEIR PHONE?

SO, YOU, UH,
YOU WANT TO TRADE INFO.

PROVENZA: That's right.

THE IDENTITY
OF OUR DEAD GUY

FOR THE NAME
OF YOUR SUSPECT.

OKAY, LIEUTENANT.

LET'S DO IT.
YOU FIRST.

Ah. Yes.

UH, WELL, THE VICTIM
IS PAUL BURKE

FROM SANTA MONICA.

WORKED FOR THE LAURA B
CATERING COMPANY.

CATERING.
VERY INTERESTING.

I WILL GET BACK TO YOU WITH
THE NAME YOU WANTED SHORTLY.

HELLO. NO, UH...
AGENT HOWARD.

FRITZ.

HE'LL...
HE'LL GET BACK TO ME...

SHORTLY, HE SAID.

NOT ME.

UH, LIEUTENANT, IT'S --

THIS IS RIDICULOUS!

I'VE NEVER BEEN TREATED
LIKE THIS BEFORE IN MY LIFE.

IT'S NOT RIDICULOUS --
IT'S A FEDERAL ISSUE

AND NOT YOUR BUSINESS
AT THE MOMENT.

CLAY...

WILLIE RAY, I'M SO SORRY.

I HATE TO LEAVE.

BUT THIS IS SOMETHING
THAT JUST CAN'T WAIT.

OH, WE UNDERSTAND.

CRIME DOESN'T STOP
FOR DINNER IN THIS HOUSE.

MATTER OF FACT,
IT PAYS FOR DINNER.

YOU GO MAN
THOSE BARRICADES, SON.

FRITZ.

CLAY.

I JUST WANT TO TELL YOU...

HOW VERY PROUD
WE ARE OF YOU.

T-THANK YOU, CLAY.

HOW VERY PROUD.

THANK --
THANKS VERY MUCH.

HONEY...
Fritz: THANK YOU.

...HE HAS TO GO.

IF YOU'RE MEETING MY DIVISION,
I'M GOING, TOO.

NO, NO, NO, NO, NO.

THIS IS CLASSIFIED FBI BUSINESS.
TOP SECRET.

TOP SECRET?
L-LIKE THE WAY YOU PAID GAVIN

AND DIDN'T TELL ME --
THAT KIND OF TOP SECRET?

OH. YEAH, THAT WAS
HORRIBLY SELFISH OF ME,

USING MY INHERITANCE
FOR YOUR LEGAL FEES.

THE THINGS I HIDE!

LOOK, IF YOU'RE
REALLY INTERESTED

IN UNCOVERING
SOME SECRETS,

WHY DON'T YOU FIND OUT
THE REASON

BEHIND YOUR PARENTS'
BLITZ VISIT

AND WHY YOUR MOTHER
IS SO QUIET

OR THAT HUG
YOUR DAD JUST GAVE ME?

WHAT WAS THAT ABOUT?

Willie Ray: BRENDA?

SAY GOODBYE TO FRITZI

AND BRING IN
THE REST OF THE DINNER.

ANYWAY, I DON'T KNOW HOW
TO BREAK THIS TO YOU,

BUT YOU ARE GONNA HAVE TO

SPEND SOME TIME ALONE
WITH YOUR PARENTS.

I LOVE YOU.
I'LL BE BACK AS SOON AS I CAN.

BYE!

Tell her right now when
there's no distraction. Shh.
NO.

WELL, I GUESS IT'S JUST US
FOR DINNER, THEN.

WHICH MIGHT MAKE IT EASIER

TO SAY WHAT IT IS
YOU FLEW OUT HERE TO TELL ME.

WHICH IS OBVIOUSLY TOO SERIOUS
TO TALK ABOUT ON THE PHONE.

WELL, WHY DON'T WE JUST HAVE
A NICE DINNER WITH EACH OTHER,

AND THEN WHEN
FRITZI COMES BACK --
ENOUGH, WILLIE RAY.

ENOUGH.

LET'S JUST...

GET IT OUT THERE.

CLAY...NOT RIGHT BEFORE
WE EAT.

THERE'S NEVER GOING TO BE
A GOOD TIME!

DAMN IT!

DOCTOR SAID

DON'T TAKE AWAY
MY CONTROL!

DOCTOR?

WHAT KIND OF DOCTOR,
DADDY?

WELL...

I'VE HEARD
YOU POLICE PEOPLE SAY,

"I'VE GOT SOME GOOD NEWS
AND SOME BAD NEWS."

WELL, SO DO I.

GOOD NEWS IS...

I'M NOT GONNA DIE.

BAD NEWS IS, WELL...

I'VE GOT CANCER.

THERE IT IS.

HEY.

THAT'S TERRIBLE NEWS
ABOUT YOUR DAD.

HOW'S HE FEELING
THIS MORNING?

I DON'T KNOW.

LET'S -- LET'S TALK
ABOUT IT LATER.
OKAY.

EVERYONE, THIS IS
SPECIAL AGENT MORRIS.

HE'S ONE OF THE GUYS
WHO FILMED THE CONFRONTATION

BETWEEN OUR VICTIM
IN THE PICKUP, PAUL BURKE,

AND THE OTHER GUY.

WHO WE SHOULD CALL
"THE ASSAILANT"?

THE NAME OF
OUR SURVEILLANCE SUBJECT

IS ERIC SHAW.

DETECTIVE SANCHEZ,
YES.

I WANT TO THANK AGENT MORRIS
FOR FILMING THE MURDER FOR US.

THERE'S NO MURDER
ON THAT TAPE, DETECTIVE.

WE WOULD HAVE HEARD
THE TWO GUNSHOTS BEFORE WE LEFT.

Provenza:
YOU KNOW, I APPRECIATE...

YOU GETTING ERIC SHAW'S NAME
BACK TO ME

IN SUCH A TIMELY MANNER,

BUT YOU'LL FORGIVE ME
IF WE ALL FEEL

THAT THERE MAY BE
SOME STRINGS ATTACHED.

NOT STRINGS --
CHAINS.

Fritz: ERIC SHAW IS THE LINCHPIN
IN AN INVESTIGATION

INVOLVING INTERSTATE TRAFFICKING
OF STOLEN PROPERTY.

OH, WHOOPTY-DO.

Morris:
THROUGH WORK BY OUR FIELD
OFFICERS IN MIAMI AND NEW YORK,

WE'VE JUST SUCCEEDED
IN TRACING MILLIONS OF DOLLARS

IN FURNITURE, ART,
AND ELECTRONICS

TO BURGLARIES
HERE IN LOS ANGELES,

AND TO ERIC SHAW THROUGH PAWN
SHOPS HE OPERATES IN FLORIDA

AND AUCTION HOUSES
IN MANHATTAN HE DEALS WITH.

WE'VE HAD HIM UNDER
CONSTANT SURVEILLANCE NOW

FOR THE LAST THREE DAYS,

HOPING TO DISCOVER THE DETAILS
OF HIS OPERATION.

WE THINK YOUR VICTIM
PROVIDED US WITH THE KEY.

PAUL BURKE AND ERIC SHAW

WERE PARTNERS
IN A CATERING COMPANY

WE NOW THINK WAS USED TO CASE
EXPENSIVE HOMES

IN THE HOLLYWOOD HILLS.

THE BLUE DOTS
REPRESENT HOMES

BURGLARIZED IN THE LAST YEAR
IN L. A.

THESE YELLOW DIAMONDS
SHOW HOMES

WHERE BURKE'S COMPANY MET
ABOUT A JOB.

SO, SHAW CATERED EVERY RESIDENCE
THAT HE ROBBED,

AND YOU GUYS JUST NOW
PUT THAT TOGETHER?

NO, BRIGHT EYES.

EVEN YOU L.A.P.D. MUTTS
COULD HAVE FIGURED THAT OUT.
MUTTS?

HEY, HEY, LIEUTENANT,
LIEUTENANT, LIEUTENANT.

THEY DIDN'T CATER
ANY OF THESE HOMES. ALL RIGHT?

ONCE THEY GOT A GOOD LOOK
AT THE HOUSES,

THEY WOULD INTENTIONALLY
OVERBID THE JOB.

THAT WAY, ANOTHER COMPANY
WOULD COME IN

AND WORK THE PARTY,

AND BURKE AND SHAW
WOULD COME BACK LATER

AND BURGLARIZE THE HOUSE.

Brenda:
SO THE CATERING CONNECTION

WAS COMPLETELY HIDDEN.

YES.YES.

BUT WE ARE CONFIDENT

THAT IF WE CAN EXPLOIT
THIS LEAD,

WE CAN CLOSE OUR CASE

AND WE CAN ROLL UP
SHAW'S ENTIRE ORGANIZATION.

WELL,
WHAT ABOUT OUR MURDER?

WE WANT THE L.A.P.D.
TO FEEL FREE TO PURSUE THAT

AS LONG AS THEY DON'T DISRUPT
OUR SURVEILLANCE OF SHAW.

BUT SHAW IS OUR SUSPECT.

Morris: NO, HE'S NOT.

WE JUST SHOWED YOU VIDEO PROVING
SHAW DIDN'T MURDER ANYBODY.

Flynn:
SO WHERE'S THE VIDEO OF SHAW

FOR THE REST OF THE EVENING?
OR BEFORE?

WHY DON'T YOU
SHOW US THAT?!

WAIT -- WAIT A MINUTE.

UM, DID WE MAKE
OUR NOTIFICATIONS?

YEAH. UH, CHIEF,
LATE LAST NIGHT,

WE TALKED TO BURKE'S WIFE
AND SON.

Provenza:
AND WE SHOULD FOLLOW UP THERE

BECAUSE THE VICTIM
HAD JUST TOLD HIS WIFE

HE WANTED A DIVORCE.

THE BURKES ARE ON THEIR WAY IN
RIGHT NOW, CHIEF.

THERE.
PEOPLE YOU CAN TALK TO.

AND DIVORCE --

THAT'S A GREAT MOTIVE
FOR MURDER.

SO, OTHER SUSPECTS.

JUST DON'T MENTION
THE NAME ERIC SHAW

OR ANYTHING
ABOUT A THEFT RING.

UNDERSTOOD?

WELL, THAT SOUNDS QUITE A BIT
MORE LIKE A COMMAND

THAN AN ASK, AGENT MORRIS,

AND ALLOW ME TO POINT OUT

THAT MOST OF THESE BURGLARIES
AND CERTAINLY THIS MURDER

TOOK PLACE IN THE CITY
OF LOS ANGELES,

WHERE I HAPPEN TO BE
CHIEF OF POLICE.

WE GET TO SET THE PRIORITIES
ON THIS ONE.

WE'RE TALKING
ABOUT CLEARING

ALMOST 40 OF
YOUR OPEN CASES, WILL.

THAT'S A WIN-WIN
FOR EVERYONE.

LET'S INTERVIEW
THE FAMILY FIRST,

SEE WHAT THEY HAVE TO SAY.

WE'D DO THAT ANYWAY.

THANK YOU SO MUCH
FOR THE BRIEFING, AGENT MORRIS.

EXCUSE ME.

DO YOU WORK FOR ME

OR FOR YOUR HUSBAND?

HONESTLY, WILL,

I DON'T KNOW
IF I CAN WORK AT ALL RIGHT NOW.

OKAY. LOOK, IF -- IF YOU'RE
FEELING MORE STRESSED OUT

ABOUT THIS
FEDERAL LAWSUIT...

NO, IT'S NOT THAT.

IT'S MY -- IT'S MY FATHER.
HE'S REALLY SICK.

HE JUST TOLD ME
LAST NIGHT.

Oh, God, Brenda.

I'M S--
I'M SO SORRY.

I-I THINK
MAYBE I SHOULD...

GO HOME FOR CHRISTMAS,
WILL.

I KNOW IT'S NOT SCHEDULED,
BUT...

NO, THAT'S...

UH

WHAT -- WHAT EXACTLY IS WRONG
WITH YOUR DAD?

THYROID CANCER.

I LOOKED IT ALL UP
LAST NIGHT ONLINE.

DADDY'S GONNA SUFFER
FROM HIGH BLOOD PRESSURE,

EXHAUSTION, MOOD SWINGS.

HE PRACTICALLY BIT
MY MOTHER'S HEAD OFF LAST NIGHT.

YOU KNOW...

IT...

IT MIGHT BE EASIER ON YOUR MOM
AND DAD THAN YOU THINK.

WHY DO YOU SAY THAT?

BECAUSE THEY'RE HERE NOW,

HANDING OUT GIFTS.

OH, FOR HEAVEN'S SAKES.

[ TELEPHONE RINGING,
POLICE RADIO CHATTER ]

IS THAT A SNOWMAN WEARING
A POLICEMAN'S UNIFORM?

Willie Ray: IT IS!

AND WHEN CLAY AND I SAW IT,
WE JUST KNEW YOU SHOULD HAVE IT.

WELL, THANK YOU.

HOW GREAT.

HEY.

YOU SHOULD BE HOME,
RESTING.

WE'RE ONLY GONNA BE HERE
TWO MORE DAYS.

WE WANT TO MAKE
THE MOST OF IT.

SPREADING A LITTLE HOLIDAY CHEER
NEVER HURT ANYBODY.

UH, EXCUSE ME, CHIEF.

OH, DETECTIVE SANCHEZ!

THE LAST LITTLE BOY
ON SANTA'S ROUTE.

WE KNEW THAT YOU PROBABLY HAVE
A LOT OF THESE AT HOME,

BUT THESE ARE FOR WORK.

FELIZ NAVIDAD, DETECTIVE.

OH! WONDERFUL!

THANK YOU.
I MEAN, GRACIAS.

CHIEF, THE VICTIM'S FAMILY'S
HERE, AND --

OH, UH, ONE SECOND,
DETECTIVE.

LOOK, DADDY, I THINK
I SHOULD DRIVE Y'ALL HOME.

OH, BRENDA LEIGH,

WHEN HAVE I EVER WANTED YOU
TO MAKE A BIG FUSS OVER ME?

IF YOU DON'T DO YOUR JOB,
IT'LL MAKE ME FEEL WORSE.

NOW, YOU GO ON.

GO ON, NOW.

WE'RE AMONG FRIENDS.

OKAY.

UH, DETECTIVE SANCHEZ,
YOU CAN BRING THE FAMILY IN.

I CAN'T.
WHY NOT?

YOU'LL SEE.

EXCUSE ME.

IS THAT...

YES, MA'AM, ERIC SHAW.

WHAT ON EARTH
IS HE DOING HERE?

HIS SISTER, LAURA,
WAS OUR VICTIM'S WIFE.

PAUL BURKE WAS ERIC SHAW'S
BROTHER-IN-LAW,

AND YOU DIDN'T KNOW IT?

Morris: LOOK,
WE ONLY VERY RECENTLY

CONNECTED SHAW
TO THESE ROBBERIES.

I THOUGHT YOU HAD HIM
UNDER CONSTANT SURVEILLANCE.

HOW IS IT HE'S JUST SHOWING UP
IN MY BREAK ROOM

WITHOUT YOU KNOWING IT?

THESE INVESTIGATIONS
ARE COMPLEX. WE DON'T --

YOU LOST HIM LAST NIGHT...
DIDN'T YOU?

OH, MY.

SO HOW DO YOU KNOW THAT SHAW
DIDN'T JUST CIRCLE THE BLOCK

AND THEN COME BACK
AND SHOOT MY VICTIM?

OH, THERE'S NO PROOF
OF THAT.

WELL, I'LL GIVE HIM PROOF
WHEN I SHOW HIM THAT VIDEO...

NO, NO, NO, BRENDA!
...THAT YOU MADE LAST NIGHT.

IF SHAW KNOWS WE'RE ONTO HIM,
WE'D LOSE OUR CHANCE

TO TAKE DOWN THE REST
OF HIS RING.

WE WANT EVERYONE.

YOU CANNOT QUESTION HIM.

SO WHAT DO YOU
WANT ME TO DO?

TALK TO EVERYONE ELSE
IN THE VICTIM'S FAMILY

AND COMPLETELY IGNORE SHAW --
IS THAT IT?

DON'T YOU THINK
HE'LL NOTICE?

ALL RIGHT, LOOK.

I KNOW EXACTLY
HOW WE'LL HANDLE THIS.

SORRY, CHIEF. JUST, UH,
CLEARING THE TABLE FOR YOU.

Brenda:
THANK YOU SO MUCH.

DETECTIVE GABRIEL.

Gabriel:
UH, DEPUTY CHIEF JOHNSON,

THIS IS MR. BURKE'S WIFE,
LAURA,

AND THEIR SON, IAN.

AND THIS IS LAURA'S
BROTHER AND SISTER,

ERIC AND EMILY SHAW.

AND THIS IS...

I'M FRITZ HOWARD,
AND I'M SO SORRY FOR YOUR LOSS.

HE'LL BE TAKING NOTES.

AND I WANT TO APOLOGIZE,
MRS. BURKE,

FOR ASKING YOU
AND YOUR SON

TO COME DOWN HERE SO SOON
AFTER A TRAGEDY LIKE THIS,

BUT WE DO HAVE SOME
FORMAL QUESTIONS FOR YOU.

Eric: WHAT KIND OF FORMAL
QUESTIONS ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT?

MY SISTER'S IN SHOCK.

SHE SHOULDN'T EVEN BE HERE
RIGHT NOW.

ERIC, ERIC, IT'S FINE.

I-I WANT TO HELP.

PLEASE.

Gabriel: OKAY.

WELL, WE NEED TO START
WITH ASKING EACH OF YOU

WHERE YOU WERE LAST NIGHT
BETWEEN 6:00 P.M. AND 9:00 P.M.

UM, I WAS AT HOME
WITH IAN,

AND I MADE DINNER,

AND WE TALKED
FOR A LONG TIME.

ABOUT?

I WAS THINKING I SHOULD
TAKE SOME TIME OFF FROM COLLEGE.

MOM DIDN'T WANT ME TO.

AND, "EMILY," IS IT?

YEAH.

I WAS, UM, AT MY APARTMENT
WATCHING A CHRISTMAS MOVIE.

AND I WAS WITH HER.

WHICH MOVIE WAS THAT?

"IT'S A WONDERFUL LIFE."

YEAH, RIGHT.

MORE LIKE "FIGHT CLUB."

HEY, MORRIS.
HERE'S A LITTLE TIP.

WHEN FOLLOWING SOMEONE,
WHEREVER THEY GO,

YOU GO.

MRS. BURKE,
DO YOU HAVE ANY IDEA

WHAT YOUR HUSBAND WAS DOING
IN HOLLYWOOD LAST NIGHT?

NO.

ALL OF OUR FRIENDS
LIVE ON THE WEST SIDE.

ANY CATERING JOBS?
NO.

WE -- WE DON'T HAVE ANY
CLIENTS IN THAT AREA RIGHT NOW.

DO WE, ERIC

NO.

OH, ARE ALL OF YOU IN THE
CATERING BUSINESS TOGETHER?

BUT NOT WORKING...

IN THAT AREA
AND NOT LAST NIGHT.

SO...

SO, IT WAS STRANGE
YOUR HUSBAND BEING THERE?

DAD DID A LOT
OF STRANGE THINGS LATELY.

IN WHAT WAY?

HOW ABOUT COMING HOME
LAST WEEK

AND TELLING MY MOTHER HE'S NOT
IN LOVE WITH HER ANYMORE?

AND THEIR MARRIAGE IS OVER...

BECAUSE HE JUST DECIDED IT WAS.

AND TELLING ME
IT'S NONE OF MY BUSINESS.

IS THAT STRANGE ENOUGH
FOR YOU?

'CAUSE IT'S PRETTY STRANGE
TO ME.

IAN, IAN.

YOUR DAD...
WAS A GOOD MAN.

LAURA, YOU DON'T KNOW
THE WHOLE STORY.

NO. NO. DON'T AIR IT HERE.
WHAT WHAT?

EMILY, WHAT ARE YOU
TALKING ABOUT?

I'M SORRY YOU GOT TO FIND OUT
LIKE THIS.

BUT PAUL WAS WHERE
THEY FOUND HIM LAST NIGHT

BECAUSE HE WAS SLEEPING
WITH CLAUDIA.

CLAUDIA SHIPLEY?

YOUR EX

SHE -- SHE WORKS FOR US!

YEAH.

YOU FOUND HIM IN HOLLYWOOD
LAST NIGHT

BECAUSE HE WAS LEAVING
HER APARTMENT.

OH, MY GOD!

Provenza: WE NEED TO FIND
THIS CLAUDIA SHIPLEY.

CLAUDIA?

ARE YOU --
ARE YOU SURE, ERIC?

YES, I'M SURE.

I FOUND OUT WHEN SHE TEXTED ME
BY MISTAKE,

THINKING I WAS PAUL.

OH, SO BOTH OF YOU WERE SLEEPING
WITH THIS CLAUDIA SHIPLEY?

DID YOU NOT HEAR THE PART
ABOUT HER BEING MY EX?!

PAUL WAS CHEATING
ON MY LITTLE SISTER.

THAT'S WHAT BOTHERED ME.

AND DID YOU...CONFRONT HIM
ABOUT THIS?

WE ASK ABOUT A CONFRONTATION,
MR. SHAW,

BECAUSE WE ASSUME THAT YOU KNOW
WHERE YOUR EX-GIRLFRIEND LIVED.

AND THERE WERE SIGNS
OF A STRUGGLE

IN THE DRIVEWAY OUTSIDE
HER APARTMENT BUILDING.

Emily:
WELL, IT LOOKS LIKE PAUL

WAS PISSING OFF MORE PEOPLE
THAN JUST US.

I DON'T KNOW WHAT GETS INTO MEN
AFTER THEY TURN 40.

I REALLY DON'T.

Laura:
I DON'T BELIEVE IT.

PAUL WAS NOT
SEEING CLAUDIA.

YEAH, LAURA...
HE WAS.

MR. SHAW,
I NEED TO ASK YOU --
MRS. BURKE, IAN...

YOUR FAMILY HAS BEEN THROUGH
A TERRIBLE ORDEAL,

AND I CAN ASSURE YOU THAT
CHIEF JOHNSON AND THE L.A.P.D.

ARE GONNA WORK TIRELESSLY
TO CONCLUDE THIS INVESTIGATION.

IN THE MEANTIME, I DON'T THINK
WE NEED TO TAKE UP

ANY MORE OF YOUR TIME
THIS MORNING.

I WANT TO THANK YOU
FOR COMING IN.

AND AGAIN, WE'RE VERY, VERY
SORRY FOR YOUR LOSS.

DETECTIVE?

THANK YOU.

THANK YOU.

THANK YOU.

THANK YOU SO MUCH.

SORRY I'M LATE.

BIG PILE-UP ON THE 405,

BEEN BACKED UP WITH TRAFFIC
FATALITIES ALL MORNING.

YOU ALL RIGHT?

YOU SEEM A LITTLE DOWN,

AND YOU HAVEN'T
INTERRUPTED ME YET.

UH, I-I WAS
JUST WONDERING --

DO YOU KNOW HOW SERIOUS
THYROID CANCER CAN BE?

BY THE TIME I USUALLY
FIND IT IN SOMEONE,

IT'S EXTREMELY SERIOUS.
WHY?

MY FATHER HAS IT.

OH. NO.
WHAT STAGE?

FIRST. FIRST.

OH. DON'T WORRY.

THYROIDECTOMY.

IT'S A VERY SIMPLE
SURGERY.

VERY SIMPLE.

AND POST-OP, HE'LL JUST
HAVE TO FIND A BALANCE.

WHEN YOU SAY
"SIMPLE SURGERY,"

HOW SIMPLE IS IT,
REALLY?

LIKE THIS.
SEE?
OHH...

HERE'S THE VICTIM'S
THYROID.

I GRABBED IT
WHILE WE WERE TALKING.

IT'S THAT EASY.

OF COURSE, YOUR FATHER
WILL HAVE TO BE ANESTHETIZED,

AND THEY SHOULDN'T CUT
THROUGH HIS NECK LIKE THAT,

BUT STILL...

DOCTOR,
YOU DIDN'T HAVE TO DO THAT.

OH, DON'T WORRY.
THIS GUY WON'T MISS IT.

THYROID --

THAT'S GREEK FOR "SHIELD."

LOOKS LIKE A LITTLE SHIELD,
DOESN'T IT?

AND THEY GUARD US, TOO,
THYROIDS.

THEY KEEP US FROM HAVING
EMOTIONAL BREAKDOWNS

AND CRIPPLING
MOOD SWINGS.

JUST THINK OF IT AS A REGULATOR
FOR YOUR INNER DIVA.

SO THAT'S IT?

JUST A QUICK LITTLE SURGERY
AND THE PERSON RECOVERS?

WELL, NOT THIS GUY,
BUT GENERALLY, YES.

RECOVER.

NOW, YOUR FATHER WILL HAVE
TO WATCH HIS CALCIUM LEVELS

FOR THE REST OF HIS LIFE.

HIS EMOTIONS WILL BE
ALL OVER THE PLACE.

BUT I'M SURE
HE'LL FIND A BALANCE.

I CAN TELL YOU THIS MUCH.

THE PROCEDURE USUALLY
WORKS OUT BETTER

THAN GETTING SHOT TWICE
IN THE HEAD.

OUCH.

AND BEATEN UP, TOO.

YOUR VICTIM
HAD A VERY BAD NIGHT.

THERE'S A LOT OF SOOTING
AT THE WOUNDS,

SO THE WEAPON WAS DISCHARGED
AT CLOSE RANGE.

HMM, BUT WHAT'S
REALLY INTERESTING

IS THE MARK ON THE SCALP.

SEE THIS BRUISING
AROUND THE BULLET HOLES?

IT'S KIND OF LIKE A LITTLE
TATTOO OF THE MURDER WEAPON.

A SMALL
DOUBLE-BARRELED GUN.

BUT WHAT KIND,
I WONDER?

Tao: A .41-CALIBER
DERRINGER, CHIEF.

Brenda:
OKAY, WELL, IF YOU ASK ME,

THAT MAKES FOR A PRETTY RARIFIED
MURDER WEAPON.

LIEUTENANT FLYNN, WOULD YOU
PLEASE LOOK INTO REPORTS

ON MISSING DERRINGERS

AND SALES OF BULLETS
THAT WENT WITH IT?

YEAH, I'LL CHECK SOME
PAWN SHOPS, TOO.

YOU NEVER KNOW.

CHIEF?

GOT CLAUDIA SHIPLEY
IN INTERVIEW 2.

OH, GOOD.

AND, UH...OH.

DO YOU REALLY NEED
TO SIT NEXT TO ME

AND PASS NOTES
LIKE WE'RE IN HOMEROOM?

WHAT DO YOU CARE
ABOUT THIS WOMAN?

SHE WAS SHAW'S
EX-GIRLFRIEND.

AFTER WHICH SHE WAS DATING
MY VICTIM.

WHAT DOES CLAUDIA SHIPLEY HAVE
TO DO WITH YOUR INVESTIGATION?

Gabriel: UH, CHIEF?

WHEN WE PICKED CLAUDIA UP,

SHE WAS AT THE AIRPORT
ON HER WAY TO BRAZIL

WITH $1.8 MILLION
IN HER CARRY-ON.

THAT SOUNDS
A LITTLE SUSPICIOUS.

LOOK, WE ARE WORKING
A MURDER HERE,

NOT A BUNCH
OF BURGLARIES.

AND IF CLAUDIA SHIPLEY
REALLY IS THE KILLER,

WHICH IS PROBABLY
THE CASE,

AND SHE'S FLEEING
WITH HUGE WADS OF CASH,

THEN YOU SHOULD THANK ME
FOR FINDING HER

SO THE FBI WON'T LOOK LIKE
THE WOR COPS ON EARTH

FOR HAVING LOST SHAW
TO BEGIN WITH.

I THINK YOU'RE GETTING
A LITTLE MORE ANGRY

THAN THE CIRCUMSTANCES
WARRANT.

AND WE BOTH KNOW WHY.

YOUR PARENTS NEED
A LITTLE MORE ATTENTION

THAN THE L.A.P.D. DOES
THIS AFTERNOON.

LET ME INTERVIEW CLAUDIA.

TAKE THIS OPPORTUNITY
TO SPEND SOME MORE TIME

WITH YOUR MOM AND DAD.

I CANNOT...

BELIEVE...

THAT YOU WOULD USE
MY FATHER'S CANCER

TO MANIPULATE ME INTO GIVING UP
THIS INTERVIEW.

I CANNOT BELIEVE IT!

IT IS AWFUL,
JUST SHAMEFUL.

SHAMEFUL.

THAT REALLY SHOULD
HAVE WORKED.

YOU'D THINK!

SHE'S GOOD.
VERY GOOD.

GOOD AFTERNOON,
MS. SHIPLEY.

I'M DEPUTY CHIEF
BRENDA LEIGH JOHNSON.

I'M SO SORRY TO HAVE INTERRUPTED
YOUR TRIP TO BRAZIL.

BUT WE HAVE SOME QUESTIONS

ABOUT AN INCIDENT
THAT HAPPENED

OUTSIDE OF YOUR APARTMENT
BUILDING.

DID YOU HAPPEN TO SEE OR HEAR
ANYTHING UNUSUAL

LAST NIGHT, EARLY EVENING,
AROUND 7:30?

WELL, YES, I HEARD
THERE WAS A MURDER.

DID YOU KNOW THE VICTIM?

I DON'T...THINK SO.

UH, I WASN'T THERE
WHEN IT HAPPENED.

SO, CLAUDIA, YOU'RE COMPLETELY
UNAWARE OF THE FACT

THAT THE VICTIM LAST NIGHT
WAS YOUR BOSS

FROM THE CATERING COMPANY,
PAUL BURKE?

WHAT?

OH, MY GOD.
NO, YOU'RE KIDDING. WHY?

WHAT WAS MR. BURKE DOING
AT MY APARTMENT BUILDING?

WE WERE WONDERING
THE SAME THING.

DO YOU AND MR. BURKE SEE
EACH OTHER OUTSIDE OF WORK?

NO. GOD, HE WAS MARRIED.

CLAUDIA, WE HAVE
THE VICTIM'S CELLPHONE,

AND IT'S FULL
OF TEXT MESSAGES...

FROM YOU.

SO WHERE WERE YOU LAST NIGHT
BETWEEN 6:00 P.M. AND 9:00 P.M.?

I WAS ON A FILM SET...

WITH A LOT OF OTHER
BACKGROUND ARTISTS.

I WAS DOING A MOVIE.

OH. YOU'RE AN ACTOR.

I THOUGHT YOU WERE A WAITER
FOR A CATERING COMPANY.

I DO BOTH.

WORKING TWO JOBS --

THAT EXPLAINS
THE $1.8 MILLION

THAT YOU WERE TAKING ON
YOUR SPONTANEOUS TRIP TO BRAZIL.

ALL RIGHT.

ALL RIGHT.

I KNEW PAUL HAD BEEN MURDERED,
AND I WAS SCARED.

WHY?
'CAUSE OF THAT MONEY.

PAUL WAS KEEPING IT
AT MY APARTMENT.

AND NOW PAUL WAS DEAD.

SO I THOUGHT SOMEONE
MIGHT KILL ME TO TAKE IT.

WELL, CLAUDIA,
YOU SHOULD KNOW

THAT WE ARE GETTING READY
TO SEARCH YOUR APARTMENT

RIGHT THIS MINUTE.
WAIT.

YOU'RE GONNA...
SEARCH MY PLACE?

YES, WE ARE!

OKAY.

UM...

ARE YOU THE PERSON
THAT CAN...

MAKE DEALS?

SURE.

I CAN MAKE A DEAL.

THE REASON
THAT I BRING THIS UP

IS, WHEN YOU'RE SEARCHING
MY APARTMENT,

YOU MIGHT FIND
SOME FURNITURE,

UM, SOME ART THINGS...

SILVER, MAYBE,
THAT MIGHT BE...

I DON'T KNOW,
STOLEN PROPERTY.

BUT YOU NEED TO KNOW THAT I DID
NOT TAKE ANY OF THOSE THINGS.

BUT NO GUN?
NO! ARE YOU KIDDING?

I HATE GUNS!

SO HOW DID ALL THIS
STOLEN PROPERTY MAKE IT
INTO YOUR APARTMENT --

MISS SHIPLEY?

I'M SPECIAL AGENT HOWARD
OF THE FBI.

THIS IS
SPECIAL AGENT MORRIS.

I THINK YOU SHOULD KNOW
IN ADVANCE

THAT DEPUTY CHIEF JOHNSON'S
"DEALS"

ALMOST ALWAYS INCLUDE
A LOT OF PRISON TIME.

AND THOSE MADE BY THE FBI
INVOLVE SOMETHING CALLED

THE WITNESS PROTECTION
PROGRAM.

NOW, I THINK, HONESTLY,

YOU WOULD BE BETTER OFF
COMING WITH US.

YOU'D REALLY SEND ME
TO PRISON?

YEAH. PROBABLY.

YOU KNOW, GUYS,

YOU'RE WELCOME.

I'M GLAD WE COULD FIND SOMEONE
TO HELP YOU WRAP UP YOUR CASE.

FUNNY, I-I DON'T REMEMBER
SAYING "THANK YOU."

HEY, CHIEF.

IT'S NOT ALL BAD.

IT ISN'T?

HOMELESS GUY WAS ARRESTED
WITH THIS THIS MORNING.

SCARED THE CRAP
OUT OF SOME DRIVERS

WHEN HE WAS PANHANDLING
WITH IT.

MORE EFFECTIVE THAN A SQUEEGEE.

HERE.
LET ME SEE THAT.

HE'S STILL IN BOOKING.

HE SAID HE FOUND IT NEAR
THE LA BREA OFF-RAMP OF THE 10.

HERE. TAKE A LOOK AT THIS.

SEE

LINES UP. HUH?
PERFECT FIT.

NOW, LOOK AT THIS.

MATCHES THE WOUND
AND THE BRUISING.

THIS DERRINGER WAS STOLEN
FROM THIS HOUSE

IN THE HOLLYWOOD HILLS,

WHICH HAPPENS TO BE
ONE OF THE HOUSES

THAT THE GANG BURGLARIZED.

NOW, THERE ARE NO PRINTS
ON THE GUN...

BUT THAT TIES IT TO SHAW.

WE NEED TO DO MORE

THAN JUST TIE IT TO HIM,
LIEUTENANT.

WE NEED TO PUT IT
IN HIS HAND.

I'M NOT QUITE SURE
HOW TO DO THAT YET.

YOU THINK WE SHOULD SHARE
THIS INFORMATION WITH THE FBI?

OH, SURE.

JUST AS SOON AS WE FIGURE OUT
HOW TO USE IT.

SO, DID CLAUDIA SHIPLEY
SAY ANYTHING ABOUT THE MURDER?

YOU KNOW I CAN'T REVEAL
WHAT CLAUDIA TOLD ME.

MY INTERVIEW WITH HER LANDED
YOU A MAJOR PIECE OF INFORMATION

THAT YOU WOULDN'T HAVE
GOTTEN OTHERWISE.

THANK YOU, MAMA.

SHE SERVED HER PURPOSE.
THAT'S ALL I CAN SAY.

YOU MEAN SHE SERVED
YOUR PURPOSE.

SO, WHAT, YOU FOUND LOTS
AND LOTS OF STOLEN GOODS
AT HER APARTMENT,

AND SOME OF THEM CAME FROM SHAW,
IS THAT IT?

IS IT TOO MUCH TO ASK
THAT WE FINISH OUR DESSERT

BEFORE YOU TWO START YAMMERING
ABOUT A MURDER?!

CLAY, DON'T DO THIS
TO YOURSELF.

YOU'RE TIRED.

YOU NEED TO FINISH YOUR PIE
AND GO TO BED.

DO NOT TELL ME
WHAT TO DO!

I DO NOT NEED --

BUT, DADDY, MAMA WAS JUST SAYING
THAT YOU WERE TIRED.

AND DON'T YOU INTERRUPT ME,
BRENDA LEIGH!

I MEAN IT, NOW.

IF I AM TIRED,

IT'S BECAUSE I'M TIRED
OF PEOPLE TELLING ME I'M TIRED,

ESPECIALLY YOU,
WILLIE RAY.

I AM BONE-WEARY

OF THE WORD "TIRED"!

NOW, Y'ALL CAN GO BACK
TO IGNORING ME

BECAUSE NOW I AM
GOING TO BED.

WHAT WAS THAT ALL ABOUT?

WELL, NOW YOU KNOW
WHAT I'VE BEEN DEALING WITH.

IS HE LIKE THAT EVERY DAY,
WILLIE RAY?

NO, NO.
AND DON'T WORRY ABOUT IT.

YOU HAVE YOUR OWN LIVES
TO DEAL WITH.

MAMA, THIS IS TOO MUCH
FOR YOU TO MANAGE ON YOUR OWN.

LOOK, I HAVE VACATION DAYS
ALL STORED UP,

AND -- AND I'LL COME OUT
TO ATLANTA TO VISIT YOU

JUST AS SOON
AS YOU WANT ME TO.

WELL, YOUR FATHER AND I
WOULD LOVE THAT, BRENDA LEIGH.

BUT IT'S NOT NECESSARY,
REALLY.

WE HAVE THE SURGERY
THE FIRST OF THE YEAR.

THEN CLAY HAS
HORMONE-REPLACEMENT THERAPY,

AND THAT TAKES A FEW WEEKS
TO GET RIGHT.

SO I'M THINKING
THAT AFTER THE SURGERY

WOULD BE THE BEST TIME,
IF YOU WANT TO.

WE DO. WE DO.

WELL, I CAN BOOK
THE TICKETS FOR --

THE SECOND WEEK
IN JANUARY.

IF YOU CAN.

THAT WOULD BE
A WONDERFUL TREAT.

HAVING MORE OF
THE FAMILY TOGETHER

MIGHT HELP YOUR FATHER
RECOVER FASTER.

THE TRUTH IS,

CLAY THINKS THAT HE HAS
COMPLETELY DEALT

WITH THIS DIAGNOSIS,
AND HE HASN'T.

I HAVE TO
HELP HIM UNDERSTAND

THAT HE HASN'T
DEALT WITH IT.

I TELL YOU --
THIS PIE IS DELICIOUS.

Y'ALL OUGHT TO
TRY A BITE.

NOW, I'M GONNA GO IN
AND GIVE CLAY A PEP TALK.

I'LL BE RIGHT BACK.

WHAT ARE YOU THINKING?

THAT SOME FAMILIES ARE EASIER
TO BRING TOGETHER THAN OTHERS.

A WISCONSIN MAN VACATIONING
HERE IN LOS ANGELES

REPORTED SEEING A GUN
BEING THROWN FROM A VEHICLE

ALONG THE 10 FREEWAY
JUST AFTER THE MURDER.

UNFORTUNATELY, THE DRIVER
WAS LOST AT THE TIME

AND NOT SURE WHERE
ALONG THE FREEWAY

HE SAW THE WEAPON
GET DUMPED.

AND AS YOU KNOW,

IT'S A LONG STRETCH
OF ROAD.

Tao: SO, WHAT WE'RE GONNA DO
IS WE'RE GONNA DETAIL

10 PATROL OFFICERS
TO FIND THIS GUN.

WE'LL START HERE, CHECK SOME
OF THE FREEWAY INTERCHANGES,

AND STOP AT THE EXIT
NEAREST THE APARTMENT.

TAKES ABOUT TWO WEEKS.

BECAUSE
IT'S A SMALL WEAPON

AND IT WON'T BE EASY
TO FIND.

Provenza:
WE OWE IT TO ALL OF YOU

TO LOOK FOR IT
JUST AS HARD AS WE CAN.

WILL THAT SOLVE THE CASE?

I DON'T CARE ANYMORE.
I DON'T WANT TO BE INVOLVED.

THIS IS...

IT'S NOT WHAT I WANTED MY LIFE
TO BE ABOUT.

EXCUSE ME.

EXCUSE ME.

WELL, SIT DOWN.
SIT DOWN, IAN.

SIT DOWN.

LAURA WILL WANT TO KNOW
ABOUT THIS LATER.

AND SO WILL YOU.

GO ON, DETECTIVE.

WELL, IF,
WHEN WE CAN LOCATE THE WEAPON

WE CAN CONNECT IT
TO AN INDIVIDUAL...

I thought we already
found the gun.

We did.

Now we're just...encouraging
someone else to go hunt for it.

...WE FOUND A TON OF
STOLEN GOODS IN HER APARTMENT,

AND IF CLAUDIA TURNS UP,

WE'RE HOPING SHE'LL BE ABLE
TO HELP US SORT THINGS OUT.

YOU LOOKING FOR THIS?

YOU HAVE THE RIGHT
TO AN ATTORNEY.

IF YOU CANNOT AFFORD ONE,

ONE WILL BE APPOINTED TO YOU
BY THE STATE.

DO YOU UNDERSTAND
THESE RIGHTS, EMILY?

YEAH.

THIS IS ALL
A BIG MISUNDERSTANDING.

NO, IT'S NOT.
I UNDERSTAND PERFECTLY.
[ DOOR CLOSES,
ENGINE TURNS OVER ]

YOU CAME BACK HERE
TO RECOVER A MURDER WEAPON.

I DIDN'T KILL ANYONE.

ALL RIGHT, THEN.
YOU...TOSSED IT...

...FOR SOMEONE ELSE.

LET'S SEE, UM,
YOUR SISTER, LAURA.

HER HUSBAND ASKED
FOR A DIVORCE.

SHE FINDS HIM IN CLAUDIA'S
APARTMENT AND SNAPS.

HOW ABOUT YOUR NEPHEW?

WAS THE PAIN OF WATCHING
HIS FATHER LEAVE HIS MOTHER

TOO MUCH TO BEAR?

OKAY, LEAVE THEM
OUT OF THIS.

OR MAYBE IT WAS
YOUR BROTHER, ERIC.

PAUL WAS DIVORCING HIS SISTER

AND SLEEPING
WITH HIS EX-GIRLFRIEND.

NO. NO.

THE GUN'S MINE.

ERIC GAVE IT TO ME.

YOU SURE ABOUT THAT?

YEAH. ME...

MY BROTHER --
WE'RE THE BLACK SHEEP.

WE ALWAYS HAVE BEEN.

THAT'S WHY WHEN ERIC GOT
CLAUDIA'S TEXT BY MISTAKE,

I KNEW -- I KNEW HE WAS GONNA
LOSE IT WITH PAUL.

SO I FOLLOWED HIM.

AND YOU WATCHED HIM
BEAT UP PAUL?

YEAH.

YEAH, I WAS GONNA JUMP OUT
AND STOP HIM

IF HE WENT TOO FAR.

BUT HE DIDN'T.

AND THEN,

AFTER ERIC LEFT,

I -- I EVEN WENT TO CHECK
ON THE ASSHOLE.

DIDN'T WANT PAUL TO BLEED
TO DEATH OR ANYTHING,

ESPECIALLY NOT BEFORE HE TOLD US
WHERE HE'D TAKEN ALL THE MONEY

WE TRUSTED HIM TO HOLD.

AND HOW WAS HE

HE'D BEEN AFRAID
OF EVERYTHING

HE WAS GONNA LOSE
IN THE DIVORCE.

BUT AFTER THE FIGHT,

HE LOOKED AT ME AND SAID,

NOW...HE COULD WALK AWAY
FROM LAURA,

AND HE'D OWE HER NOTHING.

AND HE TOLD ME

THAT HE'S GONNA TAKE
ALL THE MONEY

THAT WE MADE
IN THE BURGLARIES,

WHICH REALLY WASN'T FAIR.

AND THEN HE SAID,

HE...

HE SAID,
"THAT CRAZY BITCH I MARRIED

"WILL FINALLY GET
WHAT SHE DESERVES

FOR GIVING ME
SUCH A WORTHLESS SON."

SO I TOOK THE GUN
OUT OF MY PURSE,

AND I SHOT HIM
IN THE HEAD.

TO PROTECT MY FAMILY,

I SHOT HIM.

IF YOU WERE ONLY FOLLOWING
YOUR BROTHER

BECAUSE YOU WERE WORRIED
ABOUT HIM,

WHY DID YOU HAVE
A LOADED GUN IN YOUR PURSE?

I...

I HAD BEEN CARRYING THAT
DERRINGER AROUND FOR MONTHS.

I LIKED IT.

AND I NEVER LIKED IT MORE

THAN WHEN I WAS BLOWING
PAUL'S HEAD OFF.

WE FINISHED BOOKING EMILY,
SO I THINK WE'RE DONE HERE.

OH, GREAT.
THANK YOU.

UM...

IF YOU DON'T MIND ME
BUTTING IN,

MY SISTER
HAD THYROID CANCER.

OH, I'M SO SORRY.

WAIT A MINUTE.
HOW DID YOU FIND OUT --

OH. YOUR FATHER

WHEN THEY WERE HANDING OUT
THE GIFTS --

"MERRY CHRISTMAS.
I'VE GOT CANCER."

THERE'S NO EASY WAY
TO SAY IT, I GUESS.

GUESS YOU'RE RIGHT
ABOUT THAT.

H

OH, SHE'S FINE NOW.

BUT I LEARNED A LOT
FROM WHAT HAPPENED TO HER.

LIKE

WELL...

NO MATTER HOW FRUSTRATED
I GOT WITH HER,

I ALWAYS TRIED TO KEEP
HER BEST INTERESTS AT HEART,

BECAUSE SHE WASN'T ABLE
TO DO THAT FOR HERSELF.

YOU'LL SEE.

BUT IF YOU EVER NEED
TO TALK ABOUT IT,

I KNOW STUFF.

THANKS. THANKS.

I'LL REMEMBER THAT.

GOOD NIGHT.

OH, SORRY.
AM I LATE?

UH, WHAT TIME
IS THE RESERVATION?

YOU'RE GOOD.

VERY GOOD, ACTUALLY.

I HOPE WE'RE NOT GOING ANYPLACE
TOO CHICHI.

WELL, MAMA,
IT'S YOUR LAST NIGHT HERE.

WE HAVE TO GO SOMEPLACE
A LITTLE UPTOWN.

BEFORE WE GO,

I'D LIKE TO...
SAY SOMETHING.

I-I'M SORRY THAT I WAS SO SHORT
WITH EVERYBODY LAST NIGHT.

Y'ALL DIDN'T DESERVE THAT.

ESPECIALLY YOU,
WILLIE RAY.

I KNOW I COULDN'T GO
THROUGH THIS

WITHOUT Y'ALL.

SO, FROM NOW ON,

I'M GONNA BE
ON MY BEST BEHAVIOR.

I PROMISE.

AND IF ANYTIME
I FAIL TO DO THAT,

YOU SHOULD FEEL FREE
TO HIT ME OVER THE HEAD

OR SOMETHING.

NO, NO, I MEAN IT.

HIT ME IN THE HEAD
UNTIL I PULL IT ALL TOGETHER.

I DON'T THINK
THAT WILL BE NECESSARY...

BUT I'LL KEEP IT IN MIND.

DADDY, I HAVE SOMETHING
TO TELL YOU, TOO.

I SPOKE TO JIMMY
AND BOBBY

AND CLAY JR. TODAY,

AND WE'RE ALL GONNA COME VISIT
YOU AFTER CHRISTMAS.

Willie Ray:
OH, NOW, CLAY,

ISN'T THAT NICE?

BUT THE BOYS
WILL BE WORRIED ABOUT ME

ALL DURING CHRISTMAS.

WILLIE RAY, I THINK WE SHOULD
GET ON THE PHONE RIGHT NOW

AND -- AND -- AND
SETTLE THIS THING,

TALK TO THEM ABOUT IT.

WE CAN DO THAT
BEFORE DINNER.

CLAY, IT'S THREE HOURS LATER
ON THE EAST COAST.

NOW, DON'T START
BOSSING ME AROUND!

WHEN I MAKE A DECISION,

IT DEPENDS ON THE NEEDS
OF THE MOMENT,

THE FACTS,
AND THE CRISIS AT HAND.

NOW, I WILL NOT
HAVE MY SON --

WE HAVE RESERVATIONS,
CLAY.

IT'S KIND OF A GREAT PLACE,
TOO, DADDY.

I THINK YOU'LL LIKE IT.

THANK YOU, FRITZ.

ANYTIME, CLAY.

ANYTIME AT ALL.
