ladies and gentlemen we need to find that car

uh lieutenant Flynn

could you please trace that phone call

see if it comes from a cellphone or landline

Detective Sanchez Daniels

I'd like you to check that poker game

and sergeant Gabriel

I need you to get the canons up here

we may have a possible fugitive or another victim

what's going on where are you

uh Chief Po

may I borrow you for a moment please

I need your judge to get a search warrant for the

Thompson's house what's up

I just talked to Mrs Thompson

and it looks like we may be missing

the judge's teenage son

what yeah

you're missing an earring

oh I was in a hurry oh

now why

why would they put bars on the windows

in such a nice neighborhood

well lots of people put them up after their rides

that was tacky

lieutenant on your signal

alright then go

here we go

Macky's house is up there on the left

liquor in the front poker in the rear

what are you 12

oh oh

you got a little temper

got a little Latino in you

yeah you want a little more Latino in you

you know what you gotta be this tall to ride my ride

oh stop

what over there

code 4 no kid

no car thank you

thank you very much gentlemen

good night thanks guys

don't open any drawers

the warrants only good for the boy

I know I heard you the first 3 times you said it

oh shoot

can I borrow your cellphone

what's wrong with yours I just

here

thank you

no will

it's me no

the boys not here no

of course yes

of course should be a second to know good night

real homie vibe

furniture's bolted to the floor

I don't know

sad

angry

confused

so what do you think

Keith Thompson is autistic

what's that like semi retarded

it's a developmental disorder

something we should all keep in mind

when trying to find this boy

so what do we have

dogs found about 100 homeless guys in the park

but no keep

Matthew says

the judge and Keith left the poker game around 10

that's the last anybody saw

took his son to a poker game

Keith's regular caregiver is out with the flu

still no sign in the Mercedes

nothing but the glass

Sanchez and Daniels found his factory

matches what would be on a 94 Mercedes

where'd you get that that place

uh if this is a routine carjacking

that car was chopped hours ago

wouldn't a carjacker who had no qualms killing a judge

also have killed Keith

Sanchez

you said you found these cigarettes close to the glass

yes I'm thinking that the carjacker probably waited

hoping for the first nice car to come along

no what about a specific nice car

you mean like a hit

judges tend to leave hurt feelings in their wake

anything from Thompson's previous trials

I collected files on the guys with the motives

and the means to settle out of court

what about the kid I mean

maybe he went a little Menendez on his rich old man

and now he's on the run and daddy's car

when the kid's autistic he's also a teenager

which is scary enough for me

besides murdering rocket science

Einstein was a bit autistic

I mean he was never diagnosed anything

but there was this documentary on

thank you lieutenant

at this point we can't rule anything out

where's my son Keith can I talk to Chief Johnson

okay let's get to work

here you go

why didn't you tell me Michael was dead

I'm so sorry Mrs

Thompson

I wish I could have told you more over the phone

but unfortunately

the least procedure requires that I confirm you are

who you say you are

before giving away any information I would have

where is my son I don't know

but I can assure you

that we are doing everything we can to find him

look I know that your son is autistic

and I know how upset you must be

but I need you to answer a few questions for me

can you do that

you called last night from Phoenix

that's where I live since the divorce

why are we calling your ex husband so late

I wasn't I was looking for Keith

I call him at 10:00 to say goodnight

and when no one answered at the house

I started to worry and I kept calling every 10 minutes

and then Michael saw

so your son lives with his father here

Michael has custody yes

raising an autistic child is expensive

and I needed to prove to the court

that I could support Keith

and the only faculty position I could find

was at Arizona State

it was the hardest decision of my life

but in the end

Michael and I both agreed that it was best for Keith

that he stay here

to have his little change in his routine as possible

he gets

gets very upset with change

how upset

I saw the furniture bolted to the floor

we did that for his own Protection

I mean

Keith gets frustrated with certain things

but he's just not capable of something like this

can you think of anyone who might be capable of it

how many people has Michael sentenced

over the last 10 years

I have been going over Judge Thompson's current trials

and one name keeps rising to the top

Eddie Hoke

busted him for running chop chops in the valley

but he's hooked in everything murder

grand theft dope

this guy's a big fish and according to Thompson's clerk

Hope's defense was going down the tubes fast

the judge was overruling every single objection

Thompson was one of the good ones

and three days into the trial

the judge received a death threat

maybe I should bring him back in for question

carjacking is part of his DNA

actually I'd like to talk to him

well my guys have been working this case for months

we know what buttons to push

I'm not trying to steal credit

for Captain Tail's arrest

it's just that I whoa

whoa whoa

this isn't a listen contest

I just thinking the interest of finding the boy

alright okay

bring him in

and the two of you will question him together

go away

thank you

thank you you're welcome

this is harassment I should file for a mistrial

well

looks like the trial is suddenly moving in your favor

wouldn't you agree Mr Hoke

what can I say somebody out there likes me

that's a good thing Ed

cause I'm pretty sure nobody down here does

my client was in your cell when this murder took place

maybe

one of his loyal employees was just following orders

but let's put that aside right now

all I care about is finding the judge's son

before it's too late

let's say for the sake of discussion

that I might know where to find this kid

you do know this is all hypothetical right

of course I don't know anything about him

but if I did with this influence the charges against me

it might Deputy Chief Johnson

doesn't have the authority to make a deal

I could persuade the da to see

the value of this information

and

what kind of deal might you hypothetically recommend

I'll get back to you on that one thank you so much

it's a lot manager who saw the car

recognize a description from the police pulling

they have one of our undercover stake for 20 minutes

but nobody's coming back someone pop the trunk please

let's keep going as well as can be expected

did he mention anything about Michael about last night

nothing I tried to explain to him that Michael was dead

but I don't think it sunk in

there are some things he just doesn't understand

Michael always had a hard time with that

he really wanted kiss to be normal

public schools no special treatment

and something like this happens

and you realize how different he really is

do you mind if sergeant Gabriel

not trying to talk to you

oh he's not very talkative just give me a minute

Keith

some police officers wanna ask you a few questions

hi Keith I'm Brenda

you know

I heard if you can tell what kind of food that is

they give you a prize

he doesn't understand jokes is that what that was

um

Kate do you remember going to Mr Mackey's house

with your dad

do you remember going for a ride with your dad

after the poker game

Keith it's okay

oh

oh oh no no

no ah

no babe what

no ah

I'm so sorry he doesn't like to be touched

it's just reflex he didn't do it before

at the parking lot he was in shock

I'm so sorry ah

it's okay really

it's my fault

it'll be easier for him when he can get out of here

the doctor said that I can take him home tomorrow

uh actually

it's not quite that simple

uh Mrs

Thompson technically isn't Keith's legal guardian

but I'm his mother yes ma'am

oh unfortunately uh

what sergeant Gabriel is trying to say is that

you can't take your son home yet

you should be able to I know

but under the law there has to be custody here first

Children Services takes care of him until

but only for a few days you mean a foster home

this is crazy his father is dead

he should be with me you have no idea

the damage that this kind of disruption can do

to an autistic child it's horrible Jimmy

I know but you have my word

I will do everything I can to get your son back to you

as quickly as possible

what can we do to keep her from taking her son

well nothing

Children Services will pick Keith up at the hospital

and take him to his foster home

and then the courts will fast track to custody hearing

get him back to mom can we slow them down

you wanna prevent a mother from getting back

her traumatized autistic son

he's either my one witness or my prime suspect

if she gets custody she'll take him to Phoenix

and I'll end up having an extra daughter

wait wait wait

earlier you thought Hulk was the guy

now you think the kid did it

they said the ability to hold two contradictory ideas

at the same time so I'm genius either way

I need more time with that boy

okay look

I can arrange for you to transfer Keith

to the foster home how about you

couple of hours okay

just promise me one thing what

don't touch him cause I hear he doesn't like that

low functioning autistics have no language skills

they cannot survive independently by themselves

he's not like that according to his school records

he's very intelligent but he does have issues

he's an emotional frequently says inappropriate things

he's very literal minded

he gets fixated on minor details

he gets agitated when his routine is altered

and he's extremely uncooperative

anything

or anyone gets in the way of him doing what he wants

does he have a Georgia accent

but we can figure out how

haha

if we can figure out how to communicate with this boy

he might be able to tell us who pulled the trigger

even if he's the shooter

looks like he might have a violent streak

let's start by putting together photos for Keith

to look at known associates of Eddie Hope

former defendants judgement

put away carjackers

chief kid's not gonna tell us anything

he's in his own world now pack your bags sergeant

cause we're going there for a visit

now you take your time

tell me if you recognize anyone

your breath smells bad

that's cause I've been up for 36 hours

hey

but you might want your phone back

I left it in my car along with your earring

oh it's all over the place today

I'm going to be late for my piano lesson

piano lesson

oh god 6

7 8

where you been listening to

the first four bars of the entertainer

over and over for a full hour

I took the kid this piano listen

listen I need you head over to the Impam

check out the judge's car

s I d's already been over the car

no I'm not looking for forensics

I wanna know about the GPS system

12 paces by 14 paces GPS system

yeah um

oh heads up

um Pope's looking for you and not in a good way thanks

how long do you think it'll take you to get back to me

6

4 paces by six paces

like an eternity

that's all I had that was fresh

my dad is late

he was supposed to pick me up from school

does he know where I am

Keith uh

didn't your mom tell you anything about your day

my mom was in Phoenix 3

3 north 1 1 2 West

you live by yourself you live alone that's right

have you ever visited your mom in Phoenix

yes did your dad drive you there

no

we flew in an airplane

my dad is late

uh Kate

your dad's not gonna pick you up today

do you understand why

the man with the gun shot him

that's right do you remember that

do you remember the man with the gun

I don't wanna talk about that

but you do understand what happened to your dad

yes

my dad is dead like grandma

she's dead too

so you don't get to see them anymore

no

where is it where is what

where is dad

it's about that

no no

no you need to take off that towel what

excuse me no

he doesn't like the color red

no why is he still here

no you need to take off your towel

no I just got off the phone with his mother

no who stopped by his foster home to see her son

only to find that he was not there

and Children Services didn't know why no

she's a little upset I

I stopped by earlier this morning

but there was no answer I pulled in a big favor

so you could be the one to transfer him

now are you gonna charge him with something

then you better tell me

you're taking him right to his foster home

I'm taking him right to his foster home

GPS wasn't an option on 94 Mercedes

this was an aftermarket upgrade

usually

you don't see a unit like this on a high end yacht

I would have been right off key sailing

why is that cause he's obsessed with geography

he likes to know exactly where he is

what's so great about the system

the judge had it set to turn on automatically

so as soon as you start the car

the voice comes on and tells you exactly where you are

that must be why I freaked out my car

mine didn't go on automatically

hmm but the coolest thing is how precise it is

tell us exactly where you are in longitude and latitude

to the thousands of degree

okay

what's the longitude and latitude of Mackey's house

3 4 point one one three North and 1 1 8.299 West

uh what about Griffith Park where we found the body

3 4 point one three two North

and 1 1 8.280 West is all of LA 34 North and 1 18 West

most of it

a degree of longitude or latitude is pretty big

Keith

was only saying the numbers after the decimal point

so 1 3 2 is really 34.132 and 2

80 is really 1 1 8 point two eight zero Griffith park

the carjacker would have turned off the cars

take the judge out

shoot him and then when he turned the car back on

the GPS would announce automatically

longitude and latitude what about 1

2 4

2 6 6

I thought that would have been the poker game

but our killer made another stop

according to case numbers

carjacker stop right around here

can't believe our best lead came from Rain Man

it was a joke come on is that what that was

now why would someone who just shot a judge

and has an autistic teen

locked in the trunk of a stolen car

I'm here I don't know

but at times like this

I have always depended on the paranoia of shopkeepers

three of the shops have security cameras

to give us partial views we got a few blind spots

but we've basically got it okay see it

black Mercedes 300C E

this is the judge's car

which makes this

oh man

anyway he was in there for 8 minutes and 20 seconds

long enough for a stiff drink

okay let's breathe there

load up

could you make a copy that please

everyone gets one robbery homicide

advice your mother everyone

check it against our short list

I send someone over the bar please

see if we can put a name on this face thank you

name's Jason Murphy About a year and a half ago

we busted his brother for carjacking

third strike Thompson gave him the maximum sentence

life

Murphy insisted the whole time his brother was in this

and kind of flipped out at the sentencing

tried to go after Thompson

got a collection of hook bet on

where do we find this Murphy

he moved to San Francisco two months ago

moving back great thank you

thank you

is Keith here I went to the foster home

they didn't know where he was

yes he's here

can I see him uh

I'm afraid not just yet first

we need your son's help and identify the suspect

what I I don't really need your permission Julian

but I was hoping for your support

don't worry about Kate

he'll just be looking at the monitor

it's very important that we make sure we have the right

man

just promise me that if he gets upset

you won't make him continue

I promise

now you stay close by and check in a couple of hours

that'll give me some time

to see if I can pull some strings

at family court maybe push up your custody here okay

okay okay thank you

okay so some men are gonna show up on the TV

and I want you to tell me

if you've seen anything before

it'll be just like earlier

except this time the pictures will be on the screen

go ahead

I believe we have a positive idea

excuse me Deputy Chief Johnson

are we gonna interview Murphy sometime today

some of us have families things we need to do

I'm not ready for him just yet

alright look

we got a partial print off the car

we got his blood by the broken window glass

what are you waiting for when we picked up Murphy

San Francisco he had $75,000 cash on him

where did he get that

and why did he stop that intersection

I don't know maybe he stopped to take a leak

or maybe that's where he got paid

okay then let's go ask him if you don't mind lieutenant

I like to have the answers for ask questions

okay

yeah like I told the other guy

he was in here on Wednesday night

catch him yet

did he talk to anybody while he was in here

no I just sat

had a shot and took off you sure about that

sure as I can be I mean

we get pretty busy in here after 10 o'clock

so he might have talked to someone

Sanchez

come here

look calm the machine

you got a quarter relax over there

tell we're gonna need a phone dump on this number

Brenda I am through covering your ass for today

I just spent way too long dealing with a justifiably

pissed off mother you need to speak with this woman now

I will

I just found out that Jason Murphy made a phone call

Wednesday night about 20 minutes after the murder okay

good can you prove conspiracy

I'm just getting ready to talk to him right now great

terrific

there's just one person I needed to speak with first

Julian I owe you an apology

sometimes I get so wrapped up in my own investigation

that I just have blinders on to everything

else I understand I have a child with the same problem

right uh anyway

uh I have some good news

and that is that I spoke to my friend at Family Court

and he's gonna shuffle some things around

and put you to the head of line

thank you thank you

how soon can I take you well

it should all be settled by tonight

I just need you to fill out some paperwork

and you can use my office

oh I forgot that the FBI is here today

and I told him that they could use my office shoot

do you mind if I put you some place else

no okay

thank you so much I am so sorry

this is the only room that's available really

it's okay I'm fine

whatever helps speed things along okay

so um

I have an interview right now

but as soon as the messenger arrives

with the rest of your paperwork

I told Sergeant Gabriel to come and get me

and I'll be all yours door open or closed

open is fine open it is

hah

Louis said not to talk to anybody really

well she'll be here in a few minutes

in the meantime you don't have to talk

you can just listen

here is the story that the da is going to tell the jury

at your murder trial you hated Judge Thompson

because he put your brother away for life

so on Wednesday night you followed him to a poker game

you waited you smoke three cigarettes

the filters of which are now as rich in DNA

as they are in nicotine are you following me

okay shh

you then call Jack the judge

but we're surprised to find his 15

year old son in the backseat

you then forced the judge to drive to Griffith Park

shot him twice the kid freaked out

so you stuck him in the trunk of the car

that's how you got that cut on your lip

you don't like being touched

then you stopped the roost

made a phone call drove to lax

left the kid in the trunk of the car and headed home

San Francisco here's your flat manifest

3 Parliament cigarettes equals line in white

which equals death penalty

please Mr Murphy

don't talk

however if someone hired you to kill the judge

and you were willing to tell me that person's name

oh I shouldn't have said Dale

I'm sorry my fault

if you were willing to write down

the name of that person

I guarantee you that

the state of California

will not charge you for any crime

I'll confirm this information and then our deal is good

that's good Hulk

warmed up hope you've been paying attention

sergeant Gabriel we can teach you a thing or two

yes sir

about interrogation I mean

don't pay attention to the other stuff

no sir

so here's the rest of your paperwork

we just have to dot the I's across the T's

um let's see some contact information

uh is this still your permanent address

yes is this your home phone

yes is this your cell phone

no really

you didn't buy a prepaid cell phone at Circle

K and Tempe two weeks ago

no

oh okay

well

so the court's major concern is your financial history

and apparently you recently withdrew $75,000

all in increments under $10,000

what was that for I just bought a house

and I'm fixing it up

so kid can have his own room when he visits

help me prove it okay

and how long do you know this man

I've never seen him before really

then why did he call you

20 minutes after he murdered your husband

I I don't think I should say anymore

these are the Catherines

they have 3 foster children already

and they live in this four bedroom house in Echo Park

34.123 north latitude 1

18.342 east longitude

do those numbers mean anything to you

because yesterday you had no idea

anyway one of their kids was just busted

recently for selling drugs

Keith will be sharing a room with him

why are you doing this to me

and this is the Sloan Group Home

they have a 50 million dollar endowment

they specialize in taking care of children

with special needs they also have two own site

occupational therapists for autism

what do you want from me I want you to choose

choose what

where Keith could be living while you're in prison

this is crazy I know

this is Jason Murphy's handwriting

I asked him who paid him to kill the judge

and he wrote down Jillian Thompson

now

it's time the interview where I weed you your rights

you have the right to remain silent

in a court of law you have the right to an attorney

if you can you turn that on

I don't know that was her

do you understand these rights

now you can either get an attorney

and I'll go straight to Children's Services

or we can keep talking and you tell me the truth

lie to me one more time

and you can kiss the Sloan house goodbye

Michael was hurting Keith

he was trying to force him to be a regular kid

he's not a regular kid

do you have any idea how brutal the children

in his class are how much they ridicule them

kids can be cruel how do you know Jason Murphy

he called the house once he threatened Michael

so you knew

he wouldn't be morally opposed

to murdering your husband

and you offered him $75,000 to do it

yes

why did Murphy call you later that night

he was upset Keith wasn't supposed to be in the car

he wanted more money

before he would tell me where he was

so when you called Josh Johnson's cellphone

you knew that the police would answer

and you'd have an excuse to come to LA to pay him

you are a piece of work

Michael was a son of a bitch

he didn't care about Keith or me

he cared about winning

he got to every divorce lawyer in town

no one would represent me I didn't stand a chance

you're not a mother

you don't know how it feels

I had to sit in my courtroom

and hear them tell me

that I wasn't fit to raise my own child

the child that I gave birth to

when Michael took away Keith

he took away my life

I guess now we're even

ha

you told me he was being held in West LA

I was in traffic for two hours

did I say that oh

I'm so sorry I've been so scared today

um but don't worry

Mr Murphy didn't say a word

and like I promised

I'm not gonna charge you with anything

um do I get to keep 75 ran

sure why not

my client is free to go well uh no

um not exactly

this is Special Agent Howard

um he works with the FBI and um

we are happy to be dating

and um

now I said I was gonna charge you with anything

and I won't but um

there's a new law making carjack in a federal fence

and I believe it has death penalty attached to it

Mr Howard here will fill you in on all the details

I thank you again so much for all your help

I never get tired of saying this

you have the right to remain silent

anything you say can

or may be used against you in a court of law

where am I where am I

where am I where am I

you're taking him to Sloan House

where am I

where am I where am I

where am I where am I where am I
