1
00:00:12,304 --> 00:00:14,223
- Come on, let me do it.
- Dude, hey, stop.

2
00:00:14,306 --> 00:00:15,515
Come on. Let go.

3
00:00:15,599 --> 00:00:17,684
You're gonna make me crash. No!

4
00:00:18,685 --> 00:00:19,770
No.

5
00:00:24,107 --> 00:00:26,193
Look, it's still filming.

6
00:00:27,236 --> 00:00:29,488
Is that a car?

7
00:00:59,601 --> 00:01:01,019
How did you find me?

8
00:01:01,103 --> 00:01:03,855
Well, when you wouldn't take my calls,
I had to stalk your reviews.

9
00:01:03,939 --> 00:01:07,943
Turns out Steve from Pen Tech, very
satisfied with his Thursday lawn care.

10
00:01:08,026 --> 00:01:09,236
Five stars.

11
00:01:09,319 --> 00:01:11,029
What can I help you with, Morgan?

12
00:01:11,113 --> 00:01:13,865
I was just wondering why you'd give me
your business card and then ghost me.

13
00:01:13,949 --> 00:01:16,827
Roman asked me
to check on you and his kid.

14
00:01:16,910 --> 00:01:18,537
I told him you were good.

15
00:01:18,620 --> 00:01:19,705
The job is done.

16
00:01:20,289 --> 00:01:21,999
So you and Roman are what? Pen pals?

17
00:01:22,082 --> 00:01:25,669
Before I got the call,
I hadn't spoken to the man in 15 years.

18
00:01:26,670 --> 00:01:29,131
So, someone you haven't spoken with
in over a decade calls,

19
00:01:29,214 --> 00:01:32,593
and you drop everything
to go pick up a backpack in Nevada,

20
00:01:32,676 --> 00:01:34,386
and then spy on my daughter and me?

21
00:01:34,469 --> 00:01:36,388
Yeah, well, it sure seems that way.

22
00:01:37,347 --> 00:01:38,557
Do you know where Roman is?

23
00:01:39,474 --> 00:01:41,310
Roman called me from a burner, all right?

24
00:01:41,393 --> 00:01:43,562
I didn't even see him
when I got out there, so.

25
00:01:45,105 --> 00:01:46,481
I want that backpack.

26
00:01:46,565 --> 00:01:50,027
Then, why don't you ask some
of your cop friends about that?

27
00:01:50,110 --> 00:01:51,737
- They can help you with it.
- Yeah, you're right.

28
00:01:51,820 --> 00:01:54,239
I am friends with some people in the LAPD…

29
00:01:54,323 --> 00:01:55,324
Mm-hmm.

30
00:01:55,407 --> 00:01:57,576
…including the Financial Crimes division.

31
00:01:57,659 --> 00:02:00,454
I wonder if they would peek
into your business for me.

32
00:02:00,537 --> 00:02:02,706
You know what?
You probably have nothing to worry about.

33
00:02:02,789 --> 00:02:04,624
I'm sure you've reported
every single dollar

34
00:02:04,708 --> 00:02:06,835
of your cash-only business
to the IRS, right?

35
00:02:08,045 --> 00:02:10,380
Good.
I'll be in touch with a time and a place.

36
00:02:10,464 --> 00:02:12,299
Keep up the five-star work, Arthur.

37
00:02:15,344 --> 00:02:18,513
One of the things I'm most proud of
as your lieutenant

38
00:02:18,597 --> 00:02:20,891
is this team's commitment to its duty.

39
00:02:20,974 --> 00:02:24,269
Every day, you tackle the toughest crimes
this city throws at you

40
00:02:24,353 --> 00:02:26,146
with honor and tenacity.

41
00:02:26,688 --> 00:02:29,900
And tenacious is also how
I would describe Captain Wagner.

42
00:02:30,567 --> 00:02:32,361
His track record speaks for itself.

43
00:02:32,444 --> 00:02:34,279
Welcome, Captain Nick Wagner.

44
00:02:38,450 --> 00:02:40,243
Thank you, Lieutenant Soto.

45
00:02:40,327 --> 00:02:43,455
I know what it's like
to have a change in command

46
00:02:43,538 --> 00:02:45,499
and all the uncertainties
that come with it,

47
00:02:45,582 --> 00:02:47,793
which is why I want to be clear up front.

48
00:02:47,876 --> 00:02:49,294
I'm not here to step on toes.

49
00:02:49,378 --> 00:02:52,589
My job is to support you,
so you can do yours.

50
00:02:53,173 --> 00:02:57,636
I'm looking forward
to getting to know you better.

51
00:03:01,515 --> 00:03:05,268
And to start that process, I'm gonna be
meeting with you individually.

52
00:03:05,352 --> 00:03:07,270
It's nothing formal. Just some talk.

53
00:03:07,354 --> 00:03:10,857
And since my office is on three,
I was hoping Lieutenant Soto

54
00:03:10,941 --> 00:03:13,944
wouldn't mind if I used hers
as home base for a few days.

55
00:03:14,945 --> 00:03:16,780
- Whatever you need, Captain.
- Great.

56
00:03:17,406 --> 00:03:19,408
Thank you, everyone.

57
00:03:21,034 --> 00:03:23,412
Detective Ozdil, free for a chat?

58
00:03:24,496 --> 00:03:25,539
Sure.

59
00:03:30,794 --> 00:03:33,922
Hey, you okay with all this?

60
00:03:34,005 --> 00:03:35,882
Are you referring to
getting kicked out of my own office

61
00:03:35,966 --> 00:03:38,218
or Captain Wagner in general?

62
00:03:38,301 --> 00:03:39,302
Yes.

63
00:03:39,386 --> 00:03:42,347
I'm fine, really.

64
00:03:42,431 --> 00:03:45,058
First few days of new command
is always a little bumpy.

65
00:03:49,062 --> 00:03:52,274
Daphne. What do we know about Wagner?

66
00:03:52,357 --> 00:03:54,443
Well……I know he's
one of the Wagners.

67
00:03:54,526 --> 00:03:57,237
- What does that mean?
- The Wagners are an LAPD dynasty.

68
00:03:57,320 --> 00:04:00,031
Grandfather, father, uncle.
All made captain.

69
00:04:00,115 --> 00:04:02,159
His dad retired a decade ago
and went into politics.

70
00:04:02,242 --> 00:04:04,619
I heard his dad pulled some strings
to get his son into command.

71
00:04:04,703 --> 00:04:06,580
Must be nice to have that kind of in.

72
00:04:06,663 --> 00:04:08,415
Hey, guys. I just got a call.

73
00:04:08,498 --> 00:04:10,834
Dead body found at Shay Ranch Pond.

74
00:04:10,917 --> 00:04:11,918
Go check it out.

75
00:04:27,225 --> 00:04:30,645
- What are we looking at?
- Victim was shot in the chest. No ID.

76
00:04:30,729 --> 00:04:33,482
Car is registered to a Tori Nolan.
Thirty-one.

77
00:04:33,565 --> 00:04:35,192
We pulled a pic from the DMV.

78
00:04:35,275 --> 00:04:37,819
We think the car
might have been stolen by the vic.

79
00:04:41,323 --> 00:04:45,911
No, she didn't steal Tori Nolan's car.
She is Tori Nolan.

80
00:04:45,994 --> 00:04:49,498
Looks like Tori
had some work done recently.

81
00:04:49,581 --> 00:04:53,460
Botox, microplaning, threads,
cheek fillers, eyelash extensions.

82
00:04:53,543 --> 00:04:55,128
She chopped her hair off
and dyed it brown.

83
00:04:56,713 --> 00:04:59,216
Sounds like she went through a lot
of trouble to change her appearance.

84
00:04:59,299 --> 00:05:02,552
Yeah, either she succumbed
to the pressures of being a woman in LA,

85
00:05:02,636 --> 00:05:04,429
- or she was hiding from someone.
- Mmm.

86
00:05:04,513 --> 00:05:07,849
Hey, these bullet wounds definitely
came from a small caliber, maybe a.380.

87
00:05:07,933 --> 00:05:10,101
Those are steam burns,
but look, these seem chemical.

88
00:05:10,185 --> 00:05:12,187
There's red staining
on her clothes and skin too.

89
00:05:12,270 --> 00:05:14,898
None of it looks like blood.
Some kind of dye?

90
00:05:17,484 --> 00:05:18,777
All the windows are missing.

91
00:05:19,736 --> 00:05:21,029
Might have been shot out.

92
00:05:27,661 --> 00:05:29,538
Looks like Tori had a storage unit.

93
00:05:29,621 --> 00:05:33,124
Hold on. Why is this still dripping?
The rest of the dash is dry.

94
00:05:34,000 --> 00:05:35,460
Okay.

95
00:05:36,962 --> 00:05:39,422
So Tori Nolan changed her face,
carried a gun,

96
00:05:39,506 --> 00:05:42,050
only to get shot, burned,
and dumped into a pond.

97
00:05:45,262 --> 00:05:48,181
Well, whoever she was hiding from,
it looks like they found her.

98
00:05:53,436 --> 00:05:56,731
Hula Hound.
And you know about this place because…

99
00:05:56,815 --> 00:05:59,192
I know all the bars in LA
with trivia nights.

100
00:05:59,276 --> 00:06:02,737
Don't judge me. Knowing random facts
is the whole point of a pub quiz.

101
00:06:02,821 --> 00:06:04,447
- They love it.
- Mmm.

102
00:06:05,866 --> 00:06:07,450
Maybe they don't love it because,
you know,

103
00:06:07,534 --> 00:06:09,578
I'm banned from most of them,
but that's not why we're here.

104
00:06:09,661 --> 00:06:11,663
We're here because you said
Tori had a storage unit, right?

105
00:06:11,746 --> 00:06:13,081
- Yeah.
- Okay.

106
00:06:13,707 --> 00:06:14,958
Ta-da.

107
00:06:17,294 --> 00:06:19,754
Nobody's popping into
the Hula Hound for no reason,

108
00:06:19,838 --> 00:06:21,756
and I'm thinking
Tori's reason was proximity.

109
00:06:21,840 --> 00:06:23,550
Yeah, it's as good a place
to start as any.

110
00:06:23,633 --> 00:06:25,302
Tori's last known address
was in Koreatown,

111
00:06:25,385 --> 00:06:27,137
but landlord said
she hasn't lived there for years.

112
00:06:27,220 --> 00:06:29,764
- Let's go see what she was storing.
- Let's.

113
00:06:42,152 --> 00:06:44,446
- What do these mean?
- I don't know yet.

114
00:06:47,449 --> 00:06:49,284
There was no laptop in Tori's car.

115
00:06:49,367 --> 00:06:50,910
Maybe the killer took it.

116
00:06:59,210 --> 00:07:02,547
Whoa. Look at these.

117
00:07:07,719 --> 00:07:09,054
Ha.

118
00:07:09,137 --> 00:07:11,640
All these match up with
the places on the filing cabinets.

119
00:07:12,265 --> 00:07:14,726
Tori was traveling the world
under assumed identities.

120
00:07:14,809 --> 00:07:17,062
Who was this girl? Carmen Sandiego?

121
00:07:21,107 --> 00:07:24,694
It's gonna take days
to piece all that back together.

122
00:07:28,573 --> 00:07:30,533
We might not have to.

123
00:07:30,617 --> 00:07:34,079
Okay, so everywhere Tori traveled,
there was some sort of big scandal.

124
00:07:34,162 --> 00:07:36,498
Crystal Lake had
this massive E. coli outbreak

125
00:07:36,581 --> 00:07:38,917
from faulty water pipes in July of 2018.

126
00:07:39,000 --> 00:07:42,212
Late 2023, an American au pair agency

127
00:07:42,295 --> 00:07:44,881
was running a human trafficking ring
out of Cambodia.

128
00:07:44,964 --> 00:07:47,342
And do you see these red symbols
right here?

129
00:07:48,093 --> 00:07:49,427
Those are editing marks.

130
00:07:49,511 --> 00:07:53,264
And these numbers, they're dates
and issue numbers from a magazine.

131
00:07:53,932 --> 00:07:55,934
Tori wasn't
an international woman of mystery.

132
00:07:56,017 --> 00:07:57,811
She was an investigative reporter.

133
00:07:57,894 --> 00:08:01,398
Well, whatever story she was covering now
might have gotten her killed.

134
00:08:02,440 --> 00:08:04,651
Find anything in Tori Nolan's financials?

135
00:08:05,735 --> 00:08:06,903
Oz.

136
00:08:07,487 --> 00:08:10,740
- Oz.
- Uh. Sorry.

137
00:08:10,824 --> 00:08:13,993
Okay, you've been acting weird ever
since your meeting with the captain.

138
00:08:14,077 --> 00:08:16,329
- I thought you said it went well.
- Yeah, it did.

139
00:08:16,413 --> 00:08:18,665
I think. I don't know.

140
00:08:19,791 --> 00:08:22,001
You'll see when you meet with him.

141
00:08:24,713 --> 00:08:26,464
Daphne, what'd you find out?

142
00:08:26,548 --> 00:08:28,675
Okay, I cross-referenced the location,

143
00:08:28,758 --> 00:08:30,260
dates, and issue numbers you sent.

144
00:08:30,343 --> 00:08:33,221
Morgan was right. Tori was a journalist
for Takedown Magazine,

145
00:08:33,304 --> 00:08:35,974
an online publication
known for its exposés.

146
00:08:36,057 --> 00:08:38,893
According to her editor,
Tori always wrote under a pseudonym.

147
00:08:38,977 --> 00:08:42,856
Apparently she got doxed after an article
she published in her college newspaper.

148
00:08:42,939 --> 00:08:45,483
Having her private information
blasted all over the Internet

149
00:08:45,567 --> 00:08:47,277
was so traumatic
she dropped out of school.

150
00:08:47,360 --> 00:08:49,738
Did the editor know what Tori
was currently investigating?

151
00:08:49,821 --> 00:08:51,614
No, but that wasn't unusual.

152
00:08:51,698 --> 00:08:53,992
She said Tori would drop off the grid
when following a story.

153
00:08:54,075 --> 00:08:56,745
Good news is they insisted
on getting proof of life from her

154
00:08:56,828 --> 00:08:59,497
whenever she was undercover,
so I'm sending that to you now.

155
00:09:03,668 --> 00:09:06,713
This is recent. She had
the same nails on when she died.

156
00:09:06,796 --> 00:09:08,673
There's no grow-out around the cuticles.

157
00:09:08,757 --> 00:09:10,675
But this picture could
have been taken anywhere, Morgan.

158
00:09:10,759 --> 00:09:13,720
There's no landmarks or anything else
in the background we can use.

159
00:09:14,387 --> 00:09:15,430
Not true.

160
00:09:15,513 --> 00:09:16,973
You got a poodle dog.

161
00:09:19,350 --> 00:09:21,144
There's literally no poodle.

162
00:09:25,857 --> 00:09:27,358
Okay, I get it.

163
00:09:27,442 --> 00:09:31,071
We're looking for poodle dog plants, but
how do you know this is the right area?

164
00:09:31,154 --> 00:09:34,866
Because there was a fire in these hills
just a few months ago.

165
00:09:34,949 --> 00:09:38,203
Poodle dog bushes are pyrophytes.
Fire followers.

166
00:09:38,286 --> 00:09:41,956
Their seeds lay dormant until
the intense heat of a fire wakes them up.

167
00:09:42,040 --> 00:09:44,459
Based on the size of the plant
in this picture she took.

168
00:09:44,542 --> 00:09:46,586
This location fits the timeline.

169
00:09:47,712 --> 00:09:50,465
Yeah, yeah, yeah, look.
Look, we're getting close. See?

170
00:09:50,548 --> 00:09:52,592
Okay, stop. Check it out.

171
00:09:52,675 --> 00:09:54,886
- She took the picture right here.
- Hmm.

172
00:09:55,595 --> 00:10:00,475
Okay, if I am Tori, I am not taking
no trespassing for an answer.

173
00:10:00,558 --> 00:10:01,559
If you're Tori?

174
00:10:03,103 --> 00:10:05,563
Well, why would I? Any bozo
can buy a sign, tack it to a fence.

175
00:10:05,647 --> 00:10:08,233
Morgan, whoever put up that sign,
they might mean it.

176
00:10:08,316 --> 00:10:11,528
Tori's embedded herself in some dangerous
situations with some dangerous people,

177
00:10:11,611 --> 00:10:13,738
so we don't know
what we might be walking into here.

178
00:10:22,497 --> 00:10:23,957
What is this place?

179
00:10:24,040 --> 00:10:25,542
Oh, you don't have a teenager.

180
00:10:26,209 --> 00:10:27,836
This is a content house.

181
00:10:42,559 --> 00:10:46,312
These guys all live here and shoot videos
for their streaming platforms.

182
00:10:46,396 --> 00:10:48,356
Could explain Tori's enhancements.

183
00:10:48,439 --> 00:10:52,443
She'd have to be camera ready 24-7 if
she was going undercover as an influencer.

184
00:10:52,527 --> 00:10:56,281
Mmm. Well, this isn't really on
par with the other stories she went after.

185
00:10:56,364 --> 00:10:57,782
What was she investigating here?

186
00:10:58,950 --> 00:10:59,951
Can I help you?

187
00:11:00,034 --> 00:11:02,620
I'm Detective Karadec.
This is Morgan Gillory, LAPD.

188
00:11:03,621 --> 00:11:05,039
You recognize this woman?

189
00:11:06,166 --> 00:11:07,167
That's Darla.

190
00:11:08,459 --> 00:11:09,878
She lives here.

191
00:11:11,921 --> 00:11:13,047
Is she okay?

192
00:11:13,131 --> 00:11:16,301
No, unfortunately she's not. She's dead.

193
00:11:17,135 --> 00:11:20,889
Hey. Anyone else want
to take a dip in the gel-cuzzi?

194
00:11:25,059 --> 00:11:26,477
Uh, that's a no?

195
00:11:27,353 --> 00:11:29,314
Darla… Well, Tori, I guess,

196
00:11:29,397 --> 00:11:31,941
she'd only been in the house a few weeks,
but everyone liked her.

197
00:11:32,025 --> 00:11:34,736
- What kind of content did she make?
- ASMR videos.

198
00:11:34,819 --> 00:11:37,071
Her channel wasn't doing great,
but it was growing.

199
00:11:37,155 --> 00:11:38,865
When's the last time
you saw Tori?

200
00:11:38,948 --> 00:11:40,867
A day ago, maybe two.

201
00:11:40,950 --> 00:11:43,620
When everyone's filming,
we tend to lose track of time.

202
00:11:43,703 --> 00:11:45,580
Do you know anyone
who would want to hurt her?

203
00:11:45,663 --> 00:11:47,540
No, we've all had creeps
in our comments,

204
00:11:47,624 --> 00:11:49,876
but Tori never mentioned
anyone she was concerned about.

205
00:11:50,376 --> 00:11:52,170
Do you think one
of her followers killed her?

206
00:11:52,253 --> 00:11:53,755
Well, we're not ruling anything out.

207
00:11:53,838 --> 00:11:55,173
Thanks. We'll be in touch.

208
00:11:55,256 --> 00:11:58,134
No one claims
to know what happened.

209
00:11:58,218 --> 00:11:59,886
You got anything?

210
00:11:59,969 --> 00:12:02,680
Just that these kids are
under a crazy amount of pressure.

211
00:12:02,764 --> 00:12:04,766
You know, that bit that Prénkz was doing?

212
00:12:04,849 --> 00:12:07,810
A six-ounce box of gelatin makes two cups.

213
00:12:08,394 --> 00:12:10,730
A standard kiddie pool
is about 400 gallons.

214
00:12:10,813 --> 00:12:13,608
That's 3,360 boxes just to fill it up.

215
00:12:13,691 --> 00:12:16,694
I'm guessing from set-up to clean-up,
that's what?

216
00:12:16,778 --> 00:12:19,072
Thirty hours of work
for a 30-second video.

217
00:12:20,490 --> 00:12:22,575
That's barely gonna move the needle
on his goal chart.

218
00:12:22,659 --> 00:12:25,411
This guy Phineas is running
this place like a sweatshop.

219
00:12:30,541 --> 00:12:33,670
Okay. Looks like we found Prénkz's lair.

220
00:12:38,466 --> 00:12:39,467
Red dye?

221
00:12:39,550 --> 00:12:41,511
Like the red dye
that was all over Tori's body?

222
00:12:41,594 --> 00:12:43,805
What are you gonna say?
You don't know what happened.

223
00:12:43,888 --> 00:12:46,432
- Just let me talk!
- Play it cool. Okay, we're going in.

224
00:12:46,516 --> 00:12:48,643
Something you guys wanna tell us?

225
00:12:49,811 --> 00:12:52,438
- We did it. We did it. We killed her.
- Uh. It was an accident.

226
00:12:52,522 --> 00:12:53,731
One of you shot Tori?

227
00:12:53,815 --> 00:12:55,149
She was shot?

228
00:12:55,233 --> 00:12:56,734
How do you think you killed her?

229
00:12:56,818 --> 00:12:58,111
Like that.

230
00:12:58,945 --> 00:13:00,613
Oh, no, no, no, no, no, no. No. Karadec!

231
00:13:00,697 --> 00:13:01,864
- You might wanna turn back.
- What…

232
00:13:01,948 --> 00:13:03,950
- Oh!
- Oh, geez.

233
00:13:17,130 --> 00:13:21,718
Darla, um, Tori leaves the house
every Wednesday afternoon to do errands.

234
00:13:21,801 --> 00:13:26,848
Since we knew she'd be in her car, Prénkz
and I set up a situation in her back seat.

235
00:13:27,807 --> 00:13:29,434
What kind of a situation?

236
00:13:29,517 --> 00:13:31,311
The devil's toothpaste.

237
00:13:31,394 --> 00:13:34,772
Exactly what happened
to Detective Karadec, except bigger.

238
00:13:37,233 --> 00:13:38,526
Show me.

239
00:13:41,029 --> 00:13:43,239
Get ready.

240
00:13:43,322 --> 00:13:45,241
This is gonna get so many hits.

241
00:13:45,324 --> 00:13:47,744
Sorry, Darla,
but you asked for this.

242
00:13:50,163 --> 00:13:51,956
Oh, my God.

243
00:13:52,040 --> 00:13:53,583
- What do we do?
- I don't know.

244
00:13:53,666 --> 00:13:56,085
Hurry, the car's still rolling.
We need to get outta here.

245
00:13:56,169 --> 00:13:57,920
Just stop filming, Prénkz!

246
00:13:58,004 --> 00:13:59,422
Did you check on her?

247
00:13:59,505 --> 00:14:01,716
Well, we freaked out,
so we called Phineas.

248
00:14:01,799 --> 00:14:02,967
He runs Cloud House.

249
00:14:03,051 --> 00:14:04,844
Phineas said Darla
was fine but really mad.

250
00:14:04,927 --> 00:14:06,596
She was just gonna go
for a drive and cool off.

251
00:14:06,679 --> 00:14:09,390
No, with a force like that,
Tori was definitely concussed.

252
00:14:09,474 --> 00:14:10,641
She wasn't driving anywhere.

253
00:14:10,725 --> 00:14:13,478
You guys,
that was a really dangerous prank.

254
00:14:13,561 --> 00:14:16,230
I know. I didn't think it'd be
that big of an explosion.

255
00:14:16,314 --> 00:14:17,482
All right, what was in it?

256
00:14:17,565 --> 00:14:21,277
Just dye, soap, yeast, and peroxide.

257
00:14:21,360 --> 00:14:22,862
- How much peroxide?
- A lot.

258
00:14:22,945 --> 00:14:25,073
A lot. Okay, well,
that explains the steam burns.

259
00:14:25,156 --> 00:14:28,117
When hydrogen peroxide meets yeast,

260
00:14:28,201 --> 00:14:31,788
it produces a lot of oxygen
and a lot of heat.

261
00:14:31,871 --> 00:14:34,540
The oxygen forms a fabulous foam,

262
00:14:34,624 --> 00:14:38,836
and the higher the peroxide percentage,
the bigger the boom.

263
00:14:42,090 --> 00:14:44,008
It also explains
the lack of blood in Tori's car.

264
00:14:44,092 --> 00:14:45,384
The peroxide would have cleaned it up.

265
00:14:45,468 --> 00:14:46,594
Mmm.

266
00:14:46,677 --> 00:14:49,097
In the video,
you said Tori asked for it. Why?

267
00:14:49,764 --> 00:14:52,183
She stole my L3 protein powder.

268
00:14:52,266 --> 00:14:53,434
Live Laugh Lift.

269
00:14:53,518 --> 00:14:55,520
I was supposed to do
an exclusive promo for them.

270
00:14:55,603 --> 00:14:58,564
I'm the only content creator in
the country to get L3 before the launch.

271
00:14:58,648 --> 00:15:01,109
It was gonna bring a ton
of traffic to my channel,

272
00:15:01,192 --> 00:15:03,277
but Tori stole the powder
before I could film it.

273
00:15:03,361 --> 00:15:04,403
Why would she do that?

274
00:15:04,487 --> 00:15:06,823
Probably because her own channel
wasn't doing so well,

275
00:15:06,906 --> 00:15:08,282
so she wanted to sabotage mine.

276
00:15:09,742 --> 00:15:12,161
Those morons could've killed Tori
with that dumb prank,

277
00:15:12,245 --> 00:15:14,497
but I don't think they shot her.
I think someone else did.

278
00:15:14,580 --> 00:15:19,919
Look, red dye and tire tracks
extend down into those weeds.

279
00:15:20,419 --> 00:15:21,796
I think this is where Tori was shot.

280
00:15:27,718 --> 00:15:29,595
Wonder who would've wanted to do that.

281
00:15:36,894 --> 00:15:38,896
Let's get back to the car.
I'll put out a BOLO.

282
00:15:38,980 --> 00:15:40,731
Hold on……one second.

283
00:15:40,815 --> 00:15:42,817
Did you just try
and chase after a sports car?

284
00:15:42,900 --> 00:15:43,901
It was an instinct.

285
00:15:43,985 --> 00:15:47,155
Your instinct was that you could
catch up to a twin-turbo V-8?

286
00:15:47,238 --> 00:15:49,657
- Morgan.
- This might be the best day of my life.

287
00:15:49,740 --> 00:15:50,908
Uh-huh.

288
00:15:50,992 --> 00:15:52,743
I just wanna thank you
for that beautiful gift.

289
00:15:52,827 --> 00:15:53,828
Okay.

290
00:15:59,709 --> 00:16:01,335
We didn't know you'd be home early.

291
00:16:01,919 --> 00:16:03,838
Clearly. What is this?

292
00:16:03,921 --> 00:16:05,339
Oh, a PB and J.

293
00:16:05,423 --> 00:16:06,799
Cookies are not bread.

294
00:16:06,883 --> 00:16:10,178
Argh. Air patrol's out looking for a guy,
so I got a little time.

295
00:16:10,261 --> 00:16:12,555
That's so cool.
You should have asked for a fly along.

296
00:16:12,638 --> 00:16:15,099
Mmm. I prefer to do my barfing on land.

297
00:16:16,267 --> 00:16:18,436
Hey, uh, Elliot,
can you go grab your sister?

298
00:16:18,519 --> 00:16:20,146
I thought you were hiring a babysitter.

299
00:16:20,229 --> 00:16:21,898
Can you just go get her?

300
00:16:21,981 --> 00:16:24,066
Please? You're her favorite
person in the whole wide world.

301
00:16:24,150 --> 00:16:25,902
I know you're just saying that
to manipulate me.

302
00:16:25,985 --> 00:16:27,069
Is it working?

303
00:16:27,653 --> 00:16:30,781
Yes, but only
because it's true. She's a big Elliot fan.

304
00:16:30,865 --> 00:16:33,492
- Aren't we all?
- Mmm. He's all right.

305
00:16:35,578 --> 00:16:37,246
Argh. Gross.

306
00:16:40,374 --> 00:16:42,251
The other reason I wanted
to swing by home was

307
00:16:42,335 --> 00:16:45,671
to let you know that
I tracked down Arthur this morning.

308
00:16:45,755 --> 00:16:47,340
- The guy who knows my dad?
- Mm-hmm.

309
00:16:47,423 --> 00:16:48,799
Does he know where he is?

310
00:16:48,883 --> 00:16:51,135
No, but he did agree
to give me his backpack.

311
00:16:51,219 --> 00:16:53,554
- Okay, let's go get it.
- Hey……hold on a second.

312
00:16:53,638 --> 00:16:55,973
We haven't figured out
a time or a place yet,

313
00:16:56,057 --> 00:16:58,267
but when we do, I will get the backpack.

314
00:16:58,351 --> 00:17:00,019
- I can't go with you?
- No.

315
00:17:00,561 --> 00:17:03,189
- Why not?
- We don't even know who this guy is.

316
00:17:03,272 --> 00:17:04,774
I'm not letting him anywhere near you. No.

317
00:17:04,857 --> 00:17:07,026
- But, Mom, what if he has information or…
- Ava.

318
00:17:07,568 --> 00:17:08,819
It's not a negotiation.

319
00:17:10,321 --> 00:17:11,322
Okay.

320
00:17:12,657 --> 00:17:13,950
I'll keep you posted.

321
00:17:20,873 --> 00:17:23,584
Phineas's orange Lamborghini
wasn't hard to find.

322
00:17:23,668 --> 00:17:26,212
Highway patrol picked him up
in Ventura an hour ago.

323
00:17:26,295 --> 00:17:27,880
So far he's had nothing to say.

324
00:17:27,964 --> 00:17:31,008
Keeping his mouth shut is probably
the smartest thing he's done in a while.

325
00:17:31,092 --> 00:17:32,093
Mm-hmm.

326
00:17:32,677 --> 00:17:34,345
I'm not interrupting, am I?

327
00:17:34,428 --> 00:17:38,224
No, Detectives Oz and Karadec
are letting Phineas sweat a bit

328
00:17:38,307 --> 00:17:40,309
before starting their interrogation.

329
00:17:40,393 --> 00:17:42,728
Good. So Detective Forrester has a minute.

330
00:17:43,563 --> 00:17:46,566
I hope you don't mind, but I stopped
at your desk and I couldn't resist.

331
00:17:46,649 --> 00:17:48,192
No, that's what they're there for.

332
00:17:48,901 --> 00:17:51,696
I never had a sweet tooth…
…until I joined the force.

333
00:17:51,779 --> 00:17:53,823
Now I can't go a day without having sugar.

334
00:17:53,906 --> 00:17:55,741
Oh, well, there is worse habits.

335
00:17:55,825 --> 00:17:59,203
True, and there's some habits
that serve you well on your job.

336
00:17:59,287 --> 00:18:00,746
I saw your file, Detective.

337
00:18:00,830 --> 00:18:04,041
Have you ever considered
sitting for the sergeant's exam?

338
00:18:04,750 --> 00:18:08,921
Y-Yeah, I thought about it,
but nothing serious.

339
00:18:09,005 --> 00:18:12,466
You should. I have a friend
that used to be a test assessor.

340
00:18:12,550 --> 00:18:15,177
He can give you tips,
get you the right study materials.

341
00:18:15,261 --> 00:18:18,806
That's great, but you know,
I'm really happy here and…

342
00:18:18,889 --> 00:18:21,058
No, of course you are,
but it never hurts to

343
00:18:21,684 --> 00:18:23,978
be curious about broadening your horizons.

344
00:18:24,061 --> 00:18:26,063
I'm sure Lieutenant Soto would agree.

345
00:18:27,189 --> 00:18:29,525
- I do.
- I love to hear it.

346
00:18:29,609 --> 00:18:32,153
- I'll set it up.
- Thank you.

347
00:18:36,198 --> 00:18:37,325
What did I miss?

348
00:18:37,408 --> 00:18:39,744
Nothing. They haven't started
the interrogation yet,

349
00:18:39,827 --> 00:18:41,621
but I'm glad you popped in, Morgan.

350
00:18:41,704 --> 00:18:44,040
I was hoping we could sit
down and have that talk and see…

351
00:18:44,123 --> 00:18:46,584
Ye… Oh. You know what, I-I… Great.

352
00:18:46,667 --> 00:18:49,253
I can't though 'cause I gotta give this
my attention, so later.

353
00:18:49,337 --> 00:18:51,047
Maybe someone can
tell me what this is about.

354
00:18:51,130 --> 00:18:52,131
Maybe.

355
00:18:52,715 --> 00:18:53,841
Of course.

356
00:18:53,924 --> 00:18:57,094
- Let's talk about Tori Nolan.
- Who?

357
00:18:57,178 --> 00:18:58,971
The reporter you shot
and then dumped in a pond.

358
00:18:59,055 --> 00:19:01,390
We're thinking you found out
she was embedded at your house.

359
00:19:01,474 --> 00:19:04,435
You were worried about the story
she'd run, and so you got rid of her.

360
00:19:04,518 --> 00:19:05,519
You mean Darla?

361
00:19:05,603 --> 00:19:07,521
So the details are familiar
but not the name.

362
00:19:07,605 --> 00:19:09,315
I d-didn't know that was Darla.

363
00:19:09,398 --> 00:19:11,734
I-I definitely didn't know
that she was a reporter.

364
00:19:11,817 --> 00:19:12,818
Why was she at Cloud House?

365
00:19:12,902 --> 00:19:14,779
We were wondering
the same thing, but then we had a look

366
00:19:14,862 --> 00:19:15,863
at your financials.

367
00:19:15,946 --> 00:19:18,491
- $200,000 sports car.
- Mmm.

368
00:19:18,574 --> 00:19:21,160
Several stays at the Ibiza Four Seasons.

369
00:19:21,243 --> 00:19:23,621
You work the kids hard,
pay them way less than they're earning,

370
00:19:23,704 --> 00:19:25,039
then skim all the profits for yourself.

371
00:19:25,122 --> 00:19:26,207
That sounds like a story to me.

372
00:19:26,290 --> 00:19:28,959
Any money that I take from
the creators is for their room and board.

373
00:19:29,043 --> 00:19:31,837
Right. 50K a month each.

374
00:19:31,921 --> 00:19:33,422
Seems a bit steep, doesn't it, Phineas?

375
00:19:33,506 --> 00:19:34,924
Even by Los Angeles standards.

376
00:19:36,550 --> 00:19:38,511
- I gotta do a quick mic pop.
- A what?

377
00:19:39,512 --> 00:19:40,971
I need to see his watch.

378
00:19:41,055 --> 00:19:42,264
Watch, please.

379
00:19:42,348 --> 00:19:43,432
Thank you.

380
00:19:46,727 --> 00:19:49,522
Check out the joints.
There's corrosion in there, you see that?

381
00:19:49,605 --> 00:19:53,609
That's what happens when titanium comes
in contact with concentrated peroxide.

382
00:19:54,193 --> 00:19:57,321
Ooh. You see, after the explosion,
Tori was covered in that, Phineas,

383
00:19:57,405 --> 00:19:59,657
and you must have gotten
a good bit of it on yourself too

384
00:19:59,740 --> 00:20:02,159
when you moved her body
from the driver's seat.

385
00:20:02,243 --> 00:20:05,121
You were in Tori's car
after Raquel and Prénkz foamed it.

386
00:20:05,204 --> 00:20:07,832
You're the one who shot her
and then moved the car.

387
00:20:09,250 --> 00:20:14,171
I moved the body,
but I swear I did not kill her.

388
00:20:14,255 --> 00:20:15,840
Uh. There was so much foam everywhere.

389
00:20:15,923 --> 00:20:18,259
I had no idea that she was shot
until I got to the pond.

390
00:20:18,342 --> 00:20:20,594
If you didn't kill her,
why'd you move the body?

391
00:20:21,220 --> 00:20:22,805
Because I'd lose the lease on the house.

392
00:20:22,888 --> 00:20:25,933
Landlord's been trying
to evict Cloud House for months.

393
00:20:26,016 --> 00:20:28,018
The neighbors hate us,
and if they kick us out,

394
00:20:28,102 --> 00:20:29,812
I'd have to shut the entire thing down.

395
00:20:29,895 --> 00:20:32,481
- Can you prove that you didn't kill her?
- I can.

396
00:20:32,565 --> 00:20:34,108
Do you guys know what bots are?

397
00:20:34,191 --> 00:20:35,860
Fake account holders on social networks.

398
00:20:35,943 --> 00:20:37,528
People use them
to pad their followers. Yeah.

399
00:20:37,611 --> 00:20:41,657
Exactly. Darla's number…
Tori's numbers were terrible,

400
00:20:41,741 --> 00:20:45,411
and right before Prénkz
and Raquel came running up,

401
00:20:45,494 --> 00:20:48,581
I was in my office buying bots
to pump up Tori's channel.

402
00:20:49,498 --> 00:20:50,833
Which you never would have done

403
00:20:50,916 --> 00:20:52,877
if you were planning
on getting rid of her a minute later.

404
00:20:52,960 --> 00:20:54,003
Exactly.

405
00:20:56,714 --> 00:20:57,798
Damn it.

406
00:21:04,805 --> 00:21:08,601
We booked Phineas for evidence tampering
and illegal transport.

407
00:21:08,684 --> 00:21:11,479
He offered up Tori's bag
as a bargaining chip for leniency.

408
00:21:11,562 --> 00:21:13,814
Said he took it
to keep anyone from ID'ing her.

409
00:21:13,898 --> 00:21:16,484
Somebody who loves cars didn't think we
could find her through her VIN number?

410
00:21:16,567 --> 00:21:18,486
Come on.

411
00:21:19,278 --> 00:21:22,031
Great. Tori has
state-of-the-art encryption on here.

412
00:21:22,114 --> 00:21:23,741
Not surprising for someone with her job.

413
00:21:25,409 --> 00:21:28,829
Raquel was right.
Tori did steal the protein powder.

414
00:21:28,913 --> 00:21:30,581
But why?
I checked Tori's Cloud House channel.

415
00:21:30,664 --> 00:21:32,666
- She never advertised it.
- Yeah, well, why would she?

416
00:21:32,750 --> 00:21:34,376
She didn't actually
care about her numbers,

417
00:21:34,460 --> 00:21:36,670
which means she wouldn't
sabotage somebody else's.

418
00:21:36,754 --> 00:21:37,880
Morgan, how about this?

419
00:21:37,963 --> 00:21:39,924
You recognize anything
in these lab results?

420
00:21:41,717 --> 00:21:44,762
Yeah, nothing super interesting,
except castoreum.

421
00:21:44,845 --> 00:21:46,555
- What's that?
- Beaver butt secretion.

422
00:21:46,639 --> 00:21:48,766
It's a flavoring agent.

423
00:21:48,849 --> 00:21:51,477
So is ethyl methylphenylglycidate.

424
00:21:51,560 --> 00:21:52,561
Artificial strawberry.

425
00:21:52,645 --> 00:21:55,773
I know that from my weekly fight
with my kids in the cereal aisle.

426
00:21:56,357 --> 00:21:57,358
Yep.

427
00:21:58,526 --> 00:21:59,527
Strawberry.

428
00:21:59,610 --> 00:22:02,363
Okay, so Tori wasn't
investigating the content house,

429
00:22:02,446 --> 00:22:05,032
she was investigating
the protein powder. Why?

430
00:22:05,115 --> 00:22:08,661
Yeah, the woman made a career
out of exposing major scandals.

431
00:22:09,286 --> 00:22:10,579
She covered corruption.

432
00:22:10,663 --> 00:22:13,040
She saved animals from abuse.

433
00:22:13,123 --> 00:22:16,418
She took on big oil.
And then protein powder?

434
00:22:16,502 --> 00:22:18,754
Going after a small-time
product doesn't make any sense.

435
00:22:21,966 --> 00:22:23,551
We said she was doxed, right?

436
00:22:23,634 --> 00:22:25,553
Yeah, she wrote an article
about a classmate

437
00:22:25,636 --> 00:22:27,638
who was running
a test-taker-for-hire business.

438
00:22:27,721 --> 00:22:29,223
He cyberbullied her for revenge.

439
00:22:29,306 --> 00:22:32,393
His name was, um, Robert Romano.

440
00:22:33,602 --> 00:22:35,354
Well, I think he goes by Bobby now.

441
00:22:44,905 --> 00:22:46,615
- Thank you.
- Robert Romano?

442
00:22:47,533 --> 00:22:49,618
Whoa, my full name.

443
00:22:49,702 --> 00:22:52,663
That's what my mom calls me
when I'm in trouble.

444
00:22:54,665 --> 00:22:56,584
- Wait, am I in trouble?
- No, we just wanna talk.

445
00:22:56,667 --> 00:22:58,085
It's an impressive operation you got here.

446
00:22:58,168 --> 00:23:01,380
Thanks, man.
Yeah, it's exciting times at L3.

447
00:23:01,463 --> 00:23:02,756
Yeah, our pre-orders are flying.

448
00:23:02,840 --> 00:23:05,384
I'm trying to stay humble,
but I got a feeling

449
00:23:05,467 --> 00:23:08,512
Live Laugh Lift is gonna
revolutionize the fitness industry.

450
00:23:09,430 --> 00:23:10,639
Really?

451
00:23:10,723 --> 00:23:13,392
Oh. 'Cause it kind of looks like
you're just repackaging

452
00:23:13,475 --> 00:23:17,146
a bunch of bulk protein powder from
China and slapping your label on it.

453
00:23:17,229 --> 00:23:19,315
Oh, no, no, no, no, no.
It's way more than that.

454
00:23:19,398 --> 00:23:20,941
- Is it?
- Yeah, yeah, yeah.

455
00:23:21,025 --> 00:23:23,944
L3 is a movement, okay?
This guy gets it. I can tell.

456
00:23:24,028 --> 00:23:26,447
Bobby, San Dimas
delivery is gonna be late.

457
00:23:26,530 --> 00:23:28,198
The truck got a flat.

458
00:23:28,741 --> 00:23:31,493
If you two are from the health department,
our certifications are in compliance.

459
00:23:31,577 --> 00:23:33,913
Don't worry, they're not
health inspectors. They're just cops.

460
00:23:35,372 --> 00:23:38,375
Guys, this is Lamar Vulpis.
He's my operations manager.

461
00:23:38,459 --> 00:23:40,002
Can we help you with something?

462
00:23:40,085 --> 00:23:41,712
Yeah, we were hoping to take
a look around, Lamar.

463
00:23:41,795 --> 00:23:43,130
Sure, you got a warrant?

464
00:23:43,213 --> 00:23:45,549
I don't know. Is there something here
that warrants a warrant?

465
00:23:45,633 --> 00:23:48,928
Whoa, no, no. We don't… They
don't need a warrant, dude.

466
00:23:49,011 --> 00:23:50,721
- We're just talking, right?
- That's right.

467
00:23:50,804 --> 00:23:53,682
Yeah. Look, Lamar, I'll call San Dimas.

468
00:23:53,766 --> 00:23:55,809
- You got it, Boss.
- Okay, thank you.

469
00:23:58,145 --> 00:24:01,273
I know, he seems pretty tough, right?
That's just his job.

470
00:24:01,357 --> 00:24:02,650
I couldn't run the place without him.

471
00:24:02,733 --> 00:24:03,984
- Hmm
- Yeah, I don't doubt it.

472
00:24:04,068 --> 00:24:06,320
I mean, your other businesses
were all scams, right?

473
00:24:06,403 --> 00:24:08,822
Designer shoe company that
turned out to be low-end knockoffs.

474
00:24:08,906 --> 00:24:10,950
The concert app that was
kicking out fraudulent tickets.

475
00:24:11,033 --> 00:24:12,743
Oh, yeah.
That one got you pinched for wire fraud.

476
00:24:12,826 --> 00:24:13,994
You did two years in prison, right?

477
00:24:14,078 --> 00:24:17,331
Mm-hmm. Yeah, the feds got interested
in you because of an anonymous tip,

478
00:24:17,414 --> 00:24:19,917
but she wasn't so anonymous for you,
was she?

479
00:24:21,168 --> 00:24:23,170
- Yeah, you're talking about Tori Nolan?
- Hmm.

480
00:24:23,253 --> 00:24:25,089
- She just has it out for me.
- Oh, yeah?

481
00:24:25,172 --> 00:24:27,549
You think it had anything to do
with the time you doxed her so bad

482
00:24:27,633 --> 00:24:29,009
she had to drop out of school?

483
00:24:29,093 --> 00:24:30,886
I really regret that.

484
00:24:31,887 --> 00:24:34,682
I was a stupid kid,
and I did stupid things.

485
00:24:39,645 --> 00:24:40,688
Please.

486
00:24:42,314 --> 00:24:43,899
So, why are you asking about Tori?

487
00:24:43,983 --> 00:24:46,568
Well, Bobby, um, she's dead.

488
00:24:49,571 --> 00:24:51,323
That's heavy.

489
00:24:51,407 --> 00:24:52,866
Mm-hmm.

490
00:24:53,826 --> 00:24:55,619
Wait, you don't think I
had something to do with it?

491
00:24:55,703 --> 00:24:56,704
Strong and smart.

492
00:24:56,787 --> 00:24:58,789
- He's the whole package.
- Thanks.

493
00:24:58,872 --> 00:25:00,499
When's the last time
you had contact with Tori?

494
00:25:00,582 --> 00:25:02,084
Well, she called me a week ago.

495
00:25:02,167 --> 00:25:04,211
She told me she was this big reporter now,

496
00:25:04,294 --> 00:25:06,505
and she was gonna take me
down for good this time.

497
00:25:06,588 --> 00:25:08,507
- Well, how was she gonna do that?
- I have no idea.

498
00:25:08,590 --> 00:25:09,591
I hung up on her.

499
00:25:09,675 --> 00:25:12,386
That kind of negative energy is not
what Live Laugh Lift is all about.

500
00:25:12,469 --> 00:25:16,015
It's nonsense anyway,
because L3 is legit.

501
00:25:16,098 --> 00:25:18,851
Okay, so that must have really pissed you
off, that she was trying to take it down.

502
00:25:18,934 --> 00:25:21,145
I wouldn't hurt anyone.

503
00:25:21,228 --> 00:25:23,439
You can look around all you want.
I'm an open book.

504
00:25:26,525 --> 00:25:28,360
- Morgan…
- Karadec, he's an open book.

505
00:25:29,111 --> 00:25:31,321
- Yeah, I'm cool with it.
- He's cool with it.

506
00:25:32,614 --> 00:25:35,325
He was at a gym across
town when Tori was shot.

507
00:25:36,243 --> 00:25:38,579
Because I never skip leg day.

508
00:25:38,662 --> 00:25:40,706
- Can you verify that?
- Yes.

509
00:25:47,171 --> 00:25:48,672
Oh, you meant, like, an alibi.

510
00:25:48,756 --> 00:25:51,050
Yeah, my pump partner can vouch for me.

511
00:25:51,133 --> 00:25:54,053
Oh, God, this keeps getting better.

512
00:25:54,136 --> 00:25:57,306
I'll check out Bobby's alibi,
see if the gym had cameras.

513
00:25:57,389 --> 00:26:00,184
You're saying you don't trust
the word of his pump partner?

514
00:26:00,267 --> 00:26:01,685
Well, even if his story is true,

515
00:26:01,769 --> 00:26:03,645
it doesn't mean he had
nothing to do with Tori's death.

516
00:26:03,729 --> 00:26:05,898
- He could've hired someone to kill her.
- Yeah, maybe.

517
00:26:05,981 --> 00:26:07,608
His nav app doesn't have him going
to Cloud House,

518
00:26:07,691 --> 00:26:09,651
however it does say
that he stops by a place

519
00:26:09,735 --> 00:26:11,737
called Serenity Arms at least once a week.

520
00:26:11,820 --> 00:26:13,280
- Mmm.
- It sounds like a cult.

521
00:26:13,363 --> 00:26:15,199
No, actually,
it's a halfway house for ex-cons.

522
00:26:15,282 --> 00:26:17,117
Maybe Bobby stayed there
after he got out of prison.

523
00:26:17,201 --> 00:26:18,744
Might be a good place
to get some confirmation

524
00:26:18,827 --> 00:26:20,245
as to how reformed he actually is.

525
00:26:23,040 --> 00:26:26,043
Great, I'm being summoned for
my meeting with the captain.

526
00:26:26,126 --> 00:26:27,961
No, thank you. It's good timing though.

527
00:26:28,045 --> 00:26:30,214
I gotta grab my car from the station
and deal with a family thing.

528
00:26:30,297 --> 00:26:31,298
Everything okay?

529
00:26:31,381 --> 00:26:34,968
Oh, yeah. Never any drama
in the Gillory household.

530
00:26:35,052 --> 00:26:36,053
Oh, never.

531
00:26:42,184 --> 00:26:44,353
Detective Karadec, come in.

532
00:26:46,146 --> 00:26:47,397
Don't worry, it's not yours.

533
00:26:47,481 --> 00:26:48,482
I wasn't worried.

534
00:26:48,565 --> 00:26:51,276
Nor should you be.
I didn't even read your file.

535
00:26:51,360 --> 00:26:53,237
Your reputation precedes you. Please.

536
00:27:06,458 --> 00:27:08,335
Morgan Gillory, tell me about her.

537
00:27:08,418 --> 00:27:10,254
I thought this meeting was about me.

538
00:27:10,337 --> 00:27:12,131
It is, but she's your partner,

539
00:27:12,214 --> 00:27:15,217
and I think we can
both admit that it's unconventional

540
00:27:15,300 --> 00:27:17,970
and really not your style, Detective.

541
00:27:18,053 --> 00:27:19,054
So, you have read my file.

542
00:27:19,138 --> 00:27:22,850
I don't need to read anything to know
that you're a badge-and-oath kind of guy.

543
00:27:22,933 --> 00:27:26,603
But Morgan, she doesn't strike me
as somebody who stays in her lane.

544
00:27:28,313 --> 00:27:29,439
Well, we work well together

545
00:27:29,523 --> 00:27:31,817
- if that's what you're getting at.
- You certainly do.

546
00:27:31,900 --> 00:27:34,653
Your case rate has increased
ever since you two teamed up.

547
00:27:35,612 --> 00:27:38,156
You were smart
to claim her as your partner.

548
00:27:39,366 --> 00:27:41,785
You don't know Morgan if you
think anyone can claim her.

549
00:27:43,287 --> 00:27:44,288
Mmm.

550
00:27:51,295 --> 00:27:53,714
Was there something else you needed,
Detective?

551
00:27:56,049 --> 00:27:57,217
No.

552
00:27:58,844 --> 00:28:02,222
Hey, heard back from the guy
that runs Serenity Arms, Gavin Tillman.

553
00:28:02,306 --> 00:28:04,433
- He's available to meet.
- Hmm. Let's go.

554
00:28:22,618 --> 00:28:23,869
I think you forgot something.

555
00:28:23,952 --> 00:28:25,704
- I wanna talk first.
- About what?

556
00:28:25,787 --> 00:28:27,706
This is very simple.
You've got the backpack.

557
00:28:27,789 --> 00:28:30,000
You give me the backpack.
End of transaction.

558
00:28:33,253 --> 00:28:36,924
So, you really think that,
uh, whatever's in that bag

559
00:28:37,007 --> 00:28:40,427
will give you answers
and not just more questions?

560
00:28:42,471 --> 00:28:43,597
You didn't look in it, did you?

561
00:28:45,849 --> 00:28:46,892
Why?

562
00:28:47,935 --> 00:28:50,687
I don't know,
I thought about it, you know?

563
00:28:51,229 --> 00:28:52,940
But I know Roman, okay?

564
00:28:53,023 --> 00:28:54,942
The dude is solid, and he wouldn't just

565
00:28:55,025 --> 00:28:58,153
up and disappear from
his people for no reason.

566
00:28:58,236 --> 00:29:02,491
So, I keep asking myself,
what the hell happened 15 years ago

567
00:29:02,574 --> 00:29:04,785
that was bad enough
to make a good man run?

568
00:29:04,868 --> 00:29:08,747
And to be quite honest, I'm not sure
if I wanna know the answer to that.

569
00:29:08,830 --> 00:29:09,915
Do you?

570
00:29:09,998 --> 00:29:12,084
Yes, so give us the bag.

571
00:29:12,167 --> 00:29:15,504
What are you…
How did you know where I was?

572
00:29:15,587 --> 00:29:18,215
The family tracker app.
You can see my location, I can see yours.

573
00:29:18,298 --> 00:29:20,050
- No, we're not doing this, okay?
- No, Mom, stop.

574
00:29:20,133 --> 00:29:21,343
We didn't get the bag yet.

575
00:29:21,426 --> 00:29:23,220
You can go,
but I'm not leaving here without it.

576
00:29:26,306 --> 00:29:27,766
No, it's…

577
00:29:28,475 --> 00:29:33,063
You look just like your dad when he's
about to start digging into something.

578
00:29:36,775 --> 00:29:38,735
- You really knew my dad?
- Oh, yeah.

579
00:29:39,903 --> 00:29:42,781
You know, him and me, we went way back.
I mean, we came up together.

580
00:29:42,864 --> 00:29:44,616
We were practically inseparable.

581
00:29:46,034 --> 00:29:47,786
And he spent so much time at my house,

582
00:29:47,869 --> 00:29:51,081
ate so many meals,
that my mom started calling him Plates.

583
00:29:56,128 --> 00:29:57,379
We need your help.

584
00:29:59,506 --> 00:30:03,927
I don't understand why my dad left me,
but I need to.

585
00:30:10,767 --> 00:30:14,104
All right, look, I get it, okay?

586
00:30:14,896 --> 00:30:19,693
When I heard his voice, it was
like time hadn't passed, but it had.

587
00:30:19,776 --> 00:30:22,612
I mean 15 years is
a long time to disappear.

588
00:30:26,867 --> 00:30:28,118
And I miss him.

589
00:30:28,201 --> 00:30:31,997
My mom's like ridiculously smart,
so if there's a clue in that bag,

590
00:30:32,080 --> 00:30:35,083
she'll find it
and then maybe we'll find him.

591
00:30:41,006 --> 00:30:42,007
Please?

592
00:30:45,052 --> 00:30:46,845
All right. Okay.

593
00:30:47,888 --> 00:30:49,097
I'll get it to you.

594
00:30:49,181 --> 00:30:51,099
Wonderful. Ready?

595
00:30:55,604 --> 00:30:57,314
- I know you didn't want me here…
- Not another word.

596
00:30:57,397 --> 00:30:58,732
- No. Do you see? I helped.
- Ava, stop it.

597
00:30:58,815 --> 00:31:01,485
- He wouldn't have given it to us if I…
- We will talk about this later.

598
00:31:01,568 --> 00:31:05,197
Right now, I am so angry I don't trust
anything that would come out of my mouth.

599
00:31:13,955 --> 00:31:15,999
What can you tell us
about Bobby Romano?

600
00:31:16,083 --> 00:31:17,834
I've run this place 22 years,

601
00:31:17,918 --> 00:31:22,089
and I can honestly say
I've never met anyone like Bobby.

602
00:31:22,172 --> 00:31:23,757
- Is that a good thing?
- Oh, yeah.

603
00:31:23,840 --> 00:31:26,093
See, a lot of people land here,
they're fresh out of prison.

604
00:31:26,176 --> 00:31:28,595
They're mad at the world.
They want to burn it all down.

605
00:31:28,678 --> 00:31:30,222
But not Bobby.

606
00:31:30,305 --> 00:31:33,266
He dusted himself off
and decided to make the world better.

607
00:31:33,350 --> 00:31:34,810
With protein powder?

608
00:31:34,893 --> 00:31:39,314
Okay, yeah, I know it
sounds silly, but Bobby believes in it.

609
00:31:39,397 --> 00:31:40,398
What's the harm?

610
00:31:41,024 --> 00:31:44,236
Well, if Bobby felt
so strongly about his business,

611
00:31:44,319 --> 00:31:46,988
how far do you think
he'd go to protect it?

612
00:31:48,698 --> 00:31:49,783
What are you asking?

613
00:31:49,866 --> 00:31:51,451
A woman's been murdered.

614
00:31:51,535 --> 00:31:53,245
Um, Tori Nolan.

615
00:31:53,328 --> 00:31:55,664
She and Bobby had a bit of a past.
Do you know that name?

616
00:31:55,747 --> 00:31:58,750
Bobby mentioned Tori a few times
when he first got here,

617
00:31:58,834 --> 00:32:01,503
said that she actually helped
put him in prison,

618
00:32:01,586 --> 00:32:03,046
but he wasn't angry about it.

619
00:32:03,130 --> 00:32:05,924
Like I said, Bobby left all
that behind when he got out.

620
00:32:06,424 --> 00:32:08,760
But then… she threatened him.

621
00:32:08,844 --> 00:32:10,971
- He told us she called him.
- Oh, she did more than that.

622
00:32:11,680 --> 00:32:13,014
She showed up at his warehouse.

623
00:32:13,098 --> 00:32:15,934
She said not only
would she ruin his launch,

624
00:32:16,017 --> 00:32:19,062
but she'd see to it that
he went back to prison for life.

625
00:32:19,146 --> 00:32:20,355
What did Tori find out?

626
00:32:22,190 --> 00:32:23,358
Bobby wouldn't say.

627
00:32:23,441 --> 00:32:26,820
But when he missed his last group
session that morning, I called him.

628
00:32:27,487 --> 00:32:29,531
He was frantic.

629
00:32:29,614 --> 00:32:33,743
He said……"I should have
taken care of this ten years ago."

630
00:32:35,412 --> 00:32:38,123
Look, I thought he meant get
a restraining order or something.

631
00:32:39,291 --> 00:32:40,917
I didn't think he'd hurt her.

632
00:32:45,881 --> 00:32:48,383
- LAPD.
- Bobby, open the door.

633
00:33:00,812 --> 00:33:02,814
How long has Bobby been dead?

634
00:33:02,898 --> 00:33:04,774
ME says a few hours.

635
00:33:04,858 --> 00:33:07,694
An employee told us that Bobby was
very upset after we spoke with him,

636
00:33:07,777 --> 00:33:10,113
sent everyone home early
and locked himself in his office.

637
00:33:10,197 --> 00:33:13,491
And we're guessing that's where he
swallowed enough pills to overdose?

638
00:33:13,575 --> 00:33:14,659
- Mm-hmm.
- What'd he take?

639
00:33:14,743 --> 00:33:17,495
It's a new party drug called Dazzle Kitty.

640
00:33:17,579 --> 00:33:21,208
It's a euphoria inducing stimulant
like ecstasy, but five times more potent.

641
00:33:21,291 --> 00:33:24,211
In large quantities,
it can cause cardiac arrest,

642
00:33:24,294 --> 00:33:25,879
which we believe
is what happened to Bobby.

643
00:33:25,962 --> 00:33:27,923
The L3 was a cover for shipping the drugs.

644
00:33:28,006 --> 00:33:30,091
We found bags of it
hidden in the powder canisters.

645
00:33:31,259 --> 00:33:34,095
Now, most of these are real companies just
purchasing protein powder,

646
00:33:34,179 --> 00:33:35,430
but this code, 44889,

647
00:33:35,513 --> 00:33:37,933
corresponds to the orders
that had bags of drugs in the powder.

648
00:33:38,016 --> 00:33:40,268
We assume they're being trafficked
to distributors around the country.

649
00:33:40,352 --> 00:33:44,856
We also found a.380 pistol in his desk
that matches the gunshot wounds on Tori.

650
00:33:44,940 --> 00:33:47,567
- We're sending to ballistics for testing.
- Beef and barley soup!

651
00:33:50,946 --> 00:33:52,322
Beef and barley soup.

652
00:33:52,948 --> 00:33:54,991
Saying it again doesn't
make it any clearer, Morgan.

653
00:33:55,075 --> 00:33:58,745
Somebody wants us to think that
Bobby killed Tori and then OD'd.

654
00:33:58,828 --> 00:34:00,747
- But you don't buy it.
- No, when we were here earlier,

655
00:34:00,830 --> 00:34:02,415
Bobby couldn't wait to show us around.

656
00:34:02,499 --> 00:34:04,751
Now he's not the brightest bulb,
but even he's smart enough

657
00:34:04,834 --> 00:34:07,629
to not want cops digging around
in a place where there's drugs.

658
00:34:07,712 --> 00:34:09,798
- Plus, the soup.
- Soup?

659
00:34:09,881 --> 00:34:11,591
I opened his mouth
and I smelled inside of it,

660
00:34:11,675 --> 00:34:13,635
and it definitely smells
like beef and barley soup.

661
00:34:13,718 --> 00:34:15,303
And he dribbled
a little bit on his T-shirt.

662
00:34:15,387 --> 00:34:16,972
You can see it there.
That wasn't there before.

663
00:34:17,055 --> 00:34:20,058
This guy ate the soup
and died right around the same time.

664
00:34:20,141 --> 00:34:22,102
- Okay?
- There's no soup container.

665
00:34:22,185 --> 00:34:23,728
We checked all the trash cans, nothing.

666
00:34:23,812 --> 00:34:25,730
We also checked the sink drain.

667
00:34:29,943 --> 00:34:31,903
- Is that…
- A carrot?

668
00:34:31,987 --> 00:34:34,823
Mm-hmm.
And a half-melted capsule of Dazzle Kitty.

669
00:34:35,448 --> 00:34:39,035
So, either Bobby drugged his own soup,
ate it,

670
00:34:39,119 --> 00:34:41,871
and then high as a kite,
dumped the rest down the drain,

671
00:34:41,955 --> 00:34:44,916
magicked the container
away before passing out…

672
00:34:45,583 --> 00:34:48,378
- Or…
- Or someone else put the drug in the soup.

673
00:34:48,461 --> 00:34:49,963
And that someone wants us to think

674
00:34:50,046 --> 00:34:52,632
that the drug operation and Tori's
murder were all Bobby's doing.

675
00:34:52,716 --> 00:34:54,676
And now that he's dead,
it's a closed case.

676
00:34:54,759 --> 00:34:57,053
Yes. I think whoever killed Bobby
also killed Tori

677
00:34:57,137 --> 00:34:58,221
and masterminded the whole thing.

678
00:34:58,930 --> 00:34:59,973
Then who's the brains?

679
00:35:19,826 --> 00:35:21,828
- Freeze!
- Hands up!

680
00:35:21,911 --> 00:35:24,414
Gavin Tillman,
get out of the vehicle with your hands up.

681
00:35:38,595 --> 00:35:40,805
I hope you're curious how
we found out about this,

682
00:35:40,889 --> 00:35:42,682
'cause I've been
pretty excited to tell you.

683
00:35:42,766 --> 00:35:44,476
At first, we thought, "Oh, for sure,
it's Lamar."

684
00:35:44,559 --> 00:35:46,895
Yeah, we brought him in for questioning,
but he wouldn't give anything up.

685
00:35:46,978 --> 00:35:49,022
He's loyal, isn't he? I'll give him that.

686
00:35:49,105 --> 00:35:51,149
But Bobby didn't get the same courtesy.

687
00:35:51,232 --> 00:35:53,943
Lamar was very quick to tell
us that he met Bobby in prison,

688
00:35:54,027 --> 00:35:57,447
and Bobby brought him
into his L3 drug operation.

689
00:35:57,530 --> 00:36:00,909
See, the problem there is that
neither of those things are true.

690
00:36:00,992 --> 00:36:02,786
A, Bobby had no idea
there was a drug operation,

691
00:36:02,869 --> 00:36:04,746
and B,
they weren't in prison at the same time.

692
00:36:04,829 --> 00:36:05,997
They sure weren't.

693
00:36:06,081 --> 00:36:10,377
After they got out, they spent time
at your halfway house, Serenity Arms.

694
00:36:10,960 --> 00:36:13,630
Once we made that connection,
Lamar was much more cooperative.

695
00:36:13,713 --> 00:36:15,215
Oh, yeah, he gave you right up.

696
00:36:15,298 --> 00:36:17,926
Yeah, but Lamar insisted he had nothing
to do with Tori and Bobby's deaths,

697
00:36:18,009 --> 00:36:19,260
and he had the alibis to prove it.

698
00:36:19,344 --> 00:36:22,806
He sure did. No, that was all you.
But you were honest with Karadec and Oz.

699
00:36:24,391 --> 00:36:26,142
Bobby did tell you
about Tori in his sessions,

700
00:36:26,226 --> 00:36:28,520
and Bobby did talk to you
about Tori's threats.

701
00:36:28,603 --> 00:36:31,481
Bobby had no idea what Tori
was talking about, but you did.

702
00:36:31,564 --> 00:36:34,192
Tori reaching out to Bobby blew her cover.

703
00:36:34,275 --> 00:36:35,443
You knew exactly where to find her.

704
00:36:35,527 --> 00:36:37,612
So, you waited at Cloud House,

705
00:36:37,696 --> 00:36:39,572
and when Tori's car came into view,
you shot her.

706
00:36:40,865 --> 00:36:42,492
You couldn't have predicted
the state she'd be in,

707
00:36:42,575 --> 00:36:44,244
but you just used it to your advantage.

708
00:36:44,327 --> 00:36:45,954
At that point, Bobby was a liability.

709
00:36:46,037 --> 00:36:48,623
Lamar said he called you right after
we showed up to the warehouse.

710
00:36:49,374 --> 00:36:51,418
You needed to tie up loose ends.

711
00:36:52,585 --> 00:36:54,921
When we talked to you at
the halfway house, Bobby was already dead.

712
00:36:56,423 --> 00:36:58,466
- I want a lawyer.
- Oh, I bet you do.

713
00:36:58,550 --> 00:36:59,926
Maybe more than one.

714
00:37:00,009 --> 00:37:01,594
Go deep on that bench.

715
00:37:05,223 --> 00:37:07,016
Spoke to the editor of Takedown Magazine.

716
00:37:07,100 --> 00:37:10,019
They're gonna finish Tori's last
article and put out a tribute issue.

717
00:37:10,103 --> 00:37:11,479
- Oh, yeah?
- Yeah.

718
00:37:11,563 --> 00:37:14,357
Aw, I like that.
The world needs more Toris in it.

719
00:37:14,858 --> 00:37:15,859
Yeah.

720
00:37:15,942 --> 00:37:18,236
I'm gonna get out of here
before the captain ambushes me.

721
00:37:18,319 --> 00:37:20,447
You know, you can't avoid him forever.

722
00:37:20,530 --> 00:37:21,823
Um. I have owed

723
00:37:21,906 --> 00:37:25,785
the Culver City Public Library
$3.50 since the '90s,

724
00:37:25,869 --> 00:37:28,371
so, I'm gonna beg to differ.

725
00:37:28,455 --> 00:37:31,875
Mmm. You know there's always some growing
pains when a new person joins a team.

726
00:37:32,542 --> 00:37:33,543
There is?

727
00:37:34,252 --> 00:37:37,672
I remember nothing but
absolute delight when I came on board.

728
00:37:38,506 --> 00:37:39,507
Oh.

729
00:37:40,383 --> 00:37:41,384
See ya.

730
00:37:52,729 --> 00:37:54,481
Hey, you need some help?

731
00:37:54,564 --> 00:37:55,565
No, I'm good.

732
00:37:56,566 --> 00:37:58,860
She just needs
some coolant or she gets cranky.

733
00:37:58,943 --> 00:38:01,696
Not cranky, assertive.

734
00:38:01,780 --> 00:38:03,573
I thought you were
gonna come by for a chat today.

735
00:38:04,199 --> 00:38:07,076
Nah, I made that up to buy some time
so I could get out of it.

736
00:38:07,160 --> 00:38:08,953
Plus, I was busy, you know, doing my job.

737
00:38:09,037 --> 00:38:10,663
Yeah, you like working here.

738
00:38:12,248 --> 00:38:15,710
- Is that a question?
- No, that's a surprised observation.

739
00:38:15,794 --> 00:38:17,462
- Why surprised?
- I just heard some rumors

740
00:38:17,545 --> 00:38:21,257
you don't respond positively to authority.

741
00:38:22,717 --> 00:38:26,596
I don't respond positively
to authority that abuses their power.

742
00:38:26,679 --> 00:38:27,889
Is that how you see me?

743
00:38:27,972 --> 00:38:29,474
I don't know.

744
00:38:31,059 --> 00:38:32,477
I haven't decided on that yet.

745
00:38:32,560 --> 00:38:35,230
Well, what have you decided on?

746
00:38:35,313 --> 00:38:37,148
Um…

747
00:38:37,232 --> 00:38:40,360
I've decided I'd like you
to get your car out of my way

748
00:38:40,443 --> 00:38:41,778
so I can go home to my kids.

749
00:38:41,861 --> 00:38:43,571
All right, Gillory.

750
00:38:45,031 --> 00:38:46,032
Let me have it.

751
00:38:50,537 --> 00:38:52,997
All right……Let's see.

752
00:38:53,957 --> 00:38:55,792
You're from a legacy family, right?

753
00:38:55,875 --> 00:38:58,378
So, that tells me you
could take the easy road,

754
00:38:58,461 --> 00:39:01,548
but you choose not to because you
want to prove to everybody that you can.

755
00:39:01,631 --> 00:39:04,884
And that's admirable,
but it also makes you smug.

756
00:39:06,010 --> 00:39:09,764
You like being captain.
You like the respect, like the authority.

757
00:39:09,848 --> 00:39:10,890
Love the boots.

758
00:39:10,974 --> 00:39:12,475
But you also miss being in the field

759
00:39:12,559 --> 00:39:14,102
a little bit more than
you thought you would.

760
00:39:14,185 --> 00:39:16,896
You like to be in the action, right?
'Cause that makes you feel important.

761
00:39:17,897 --> 00:39:18,898
Anything else?

762
00:39:20,316 --> 00:39:21,317
Mm-hmm.

763
00:39:23,069 --> 00:39:26,030
You like to keep people guessing
if your interest in them is real

764
00:39:26,114 --> 00:39:28,283
or just a way to get something you want.

765
00:39:29,367 --> 00:39:30,368
Pretty good.

766
00:39:31,911 --> 00:39:33,705
You got two out of the three.

767
00:39:33,788 --> 00:39:35,832
Oh, yeah? Which one did I get wrong?

768
00:39:41,129 --> 00:39:43,464
I'm not as good at this game as you are.

769
00:39:47,176 --> 00:39:48,970
But I've learned one thing for sure.

770
00:39:50,096 --> 00:39:52,098
You give Morgan Gillory a puzzle,

771
00:39:52,181 --> 00:39:54,851
she won't stop thinking
about it until it's solved.

772
00:40:02,317 --> 00:40:03,318
Good night, Morgan.

773
00:40:18,625 --> 00:40:19,626
Hey.

774
00:40:21,169 --> 00:40:22,211
Hey.

775
00:40:24,631 --> 00:40:25,965
You're still mad.

776
00:40:28,259 --> 00:40:31,012
Yeah, I am.

777
00:40:32,847 --> 00:40:34,599
I love you more than
anything in this world,

778
00:40:34,682 --> 00:40:37,852
so I'm gonna do whatever I need
to do to keep you safe.

779
00:40:37,936 --> 00:40:40,647
If I say no to you,
I expect you to listen.

780
00:40:40,730 --> 00:40:42,941
- But nothing bad happened.
- That's not the point.

781
00:40:43,024 --> 00:40:46,194
I told you no, and you went off
and did whatever you wanted to do anyway.

782
00:40:46,277 --> 00:40:48,696
- Sounds familiar.
- Excuse me?

783
00:40:48,780 --> 00:40:51,449
If you don't agree with someone,
you never listen to them.

784
00:40:51,532 --> 00:40:53,993
What would you have done if you were me?

785
00:40:54,077 --> 00:40:55,828
- Yeah, exactly.
- Ava.

786
00:40:57,497 --> 00:41:01,542
You're not wrong, okay?
The difference is I am an adult.

787
00:41:02,335 --> 00:41:05,296
- I get to make those choices. You don't.
- You're such a hypocrite.

788
00:41:05,380 --> 00:41:08,383
Okay, I'm glad the SAT prep is paying off,
but let's watch the tone, please.

789
00:41:08,466 --> 00:41:10,051
I'm serious. You're being unfair.

790
00:41:10,134 --> 00:41:12,929
I'm being your mom.
Ava, I make mistakes all the time.

791
00:41:13,012 --> 00:41:14,180
This isn't one of them, okay?

792
00:41:14,263 --> 00:41:16,599
- And actions have consequences.
- What does that mean?

793
00:41:16,683 --> 00:41:19,102
It means I need to think about
how much I want to involve you

794
00:41:19,185 --> 00:41:21,145
in the stuff with your dad
until I can trust you again.

795
00:41:21,229 --> 00:41:23,773
You're never gonna trust me enough
because you don't want to.

796
00:41:23,856 --> 00:41:25,858
I'm sorry, trust is something
that you earn from a p…

797
00:41:25,942 --> 00:41:28,236
No, stop. You think you're some cool mom
or something,

798
00:41:28,319 --> 00:41:29,612
but you're really just embarrassing.
