00:00Previously on Ballard
00:02Cops can be assholes. Doesn't make it personal.
00:05You were my partner and I should have had your back.
00:07I wasn't just your partner, I was your friend!
00:09No! Get out of me!
00:11You keep putting these walls up around yourselves.
00:14You're the one missing the view.
00:16Harmon Harris, he and this other guy, Adam Lennox,
00:20they said that they'd been out together that night.
00:22Ironically, this guy, Lennox, was a student in Harris' acting class.
00:27Sir, Perlin was interested in acting.
00:29Maybe Harmon Harris coached her too.
00:31Good lead as any.
00:32Dispo order? Who signed for it?
00:34A guy named Charlie Grant.
00:35He worked gangs with LaFont back in the day.
00:37So I'm gonna be roping him in.
00:38Is that a good idea?
00:40What am I supposed to know about some illegal getting whacked?
00:43The bullet that killed him is missing from property.
00:45And you signed the dispo order.
00:47You know, she has a habit of making false accusations
00:50and almost ruin a good man's career.
00:52Who would order a bullet to be destroyed in an unsolved murder?
00:55Look, it's one thing to let a John Doe go unsolved,
00:58but they destroyed the damn evidence?
01:01This is a cover-up.
01:02Why can't you see what's right in front of you?
01:04You wanna help me?
01:05Get your goddamn badge.
01:07Pop, I wanna go back.
01:09It's rotten.
01:11I struggled to find a reason to stay.
01:14Then why did you?
01:16When you knew what your so-called brothers were capable of?
01:19Because once you know that,
01:22someone has to watch the Watchmen.
01:26It's gonna be near impossible investigating potential corruption without stepping on a landmine.
01:48So we should just ignore it?
01:50That's not what he's saying.
01:51I'm just saying, given the circumstances, we might need more firepower.
01:55What we need is some physical evidence.
01:58If we loop in Burcham.
01:59No Burcham.
02:00And definitely no IA.
02:01Look, this doesn't work unless we're all on the same page.
02:03You need to start trusting me.
02:10No one knows about this until we figure out what's going on.
02:13And that includes the squad.
02:15As far as they're concerned, this is a John Doe murder until we can prove corruption.
02:19Gonna be hard to do.
02:20You don't have a bullet to work off of.
02:26That may not be the case.
02:27What do you mean?
02:28Head back to the Amundsen.
02:30Martina can fill you in.
02:31Fill me in on what?
02:32You may get that bullet after all.
02:45I told Hastings we were interviewing this witness again in the Laurel Wilson case.
02:48I just hope we don't stall out here.
02:51So, Adam Lennox.
02:53What was Bosh's take on him during the initial investigation?
02:56He thought he was covering for Harmon Harris.
02:58Just couldn't figure why.
02:59Maybe now that he's dead, he'll give it up.
03:01Gotta love LA.
03:04So, how do we find Adam?
03:06You said he works in craft service?
03:08Just find the donuts.
03:09Can I help you?
03:10You're Dolores, right?
03:11Yes.
03:12I understand that you knew Yulia Kravitz.
03:14I wanted to ask you a couple of questions about-
03:15You believe?
03:16I thought you got the guy who did it.
03:17Oh, I'm just a volunteer.
03:18And I'm not here about the investigation.
03:19I know Yulia came from Ukraine and I want to find her family, let them know what happened.
03:23I'm sorry.
03:24I'm sorry.
03:25I didn't know much about her family.
03:26Hmm.
03:27Did she ever say their names maybe?
03:28Or what town she was from?
03:29She didn't talk about home.
03:30It made her sad.
03:31She missed the coffee though.
03:32Wherever she was from, wherever she was from, they were famous for it.
03:35Adam Lennox.
03:36I'm Detective Ballard, LAPD.
03:39I have some questions for you about an old friend of yours, Harmon Harris.
03:50Harmon?
03:51I can't get away from her family of us, no.
03:54Are you not a fan of this?
03:58We need to tell you what's going on about her family, let them know what happened.
04:01I'm sorry.
04:02I didn't know much about her family.
04:03Did she ever say their names, maybe?
04:04He died two years ago.
04:07You alibied for him back in 08 and the Laura Wilson murder, is that right?
04:11Yeah, I told the detective back then that he'd be crazy to think Harmon could do something like that.
04:16That would be Detective Bosch?
04:18I forget his name. Super intense guy, though.
04:21Yeah, that would be Detective Bosch.
04:23So you were with Harmon all night?
04:26I thought we settled all this.
04:27It's not settled until Laura's killer is found.
04:31Look, I know it wasn't Harmon.
04:34Okay. He was a decent guy.
04:36Took care of a lot of people back then.
04:39It must have been hard to lose him then.
04:42And Laura, too. She was so young.
04:46That whole thing was a nightmare.
04:48But it wasn't Harmon.
04:52Tell us how you know.
04:56Look, I was covering for him, but not because he killed Laura.
05:00He was with another guy.
05:07Intimately.
05:08And Harmon wasn't out.
05:10Harmon didn't care who knew about him or what people thought.
05:13He was covering for the other guy.
05:15We both were.
05:18This guy's career just started to really take off.
05:20Powdering him would have ended all that.
05:23So I said it was me.
05:26We're going to need the name of Harmon's actual alibi.
05:28I can't do that.
05:29Mr. Lennox, we're talking about murder here.
05:32Phil.
05:34I...
05:34One second.
05:35I'm going to...
05:36We need that name.
05:40Do we?
05:41Right now.
05:43And I have this actor to those casualties.
05:46If Harmon is our killer, then he's dead.
05:49Why not try to prove it some other way?
05:51See if we can avoid any other collateral damage.
05:55We can always come back to him if we have to.
06:00All right.
06:00Look, guys, I should really be getting back to...
06:02Wait, one more question.
06:03About the van you saw outside of Laura's a few nights before the murder?
06:06Yeah.
06:08License place started with a Ford.
06:09It was a blue Ford.
06:11It was a beater.
06:12Wait, it was a Ford?
06:13Mm-hmm.
06:14Didn't say that in the report.
06:17Funny.
06:18I wouldn't have known that back then.
06:21My brother-in-law bought one just like it a couple of years ago.
06:24Definitely a Ford.
06:27Yesterday, on the Perlman case, this was our list.
06:30Over 3,000 blue vans that matched the description in Bosch's murder book.
06:34Today, we have narrowed it down to 378 blue Ford vans.
06:38Ooh, looks smaller.
06:39He's back.
06:40Split up these VIN numbers.
06:41Look for criminal records or anything else that may be a flag.
06:43On our John Doe case...
06:45I have a lead.
06:47All right, Sean.
06:50I hate to be that guy, but what are we looking at?
06:56Well, thanks to Martina and one of her classmates, that is the John Doe bullet that was destroyed.
07:01How did you get this?
07:03I promised him I'd go to a Lord of the Rings marathon.
07:06I don't think he meant...
07:07Yeah, they used photos of the bullet from the John Doe autopsy.
07:10Right.
07:11My friend, he interns at a place that builds renderings of crime scene evidence for lawyers.
07:15Oh, that's cool.
07:17It won't hold up in court.
07:18Doesn't have to.
07:19Just need a lead.
07:20Now I can take this to Firearms Freddy and see if he can connect it to any other crimes.
07:26You mind the radio?
07:28As you can see, I'm not exactly Bluetooth capable in here.
07:31My mom says the day they started putting computers in cars is the day it all went to hell.
07:35You tell her yet?
07:37You joined the reserves?
07:37Yeah, that's a problem for future me.
07:42Look, about this morning...
07:43I know I got a little hot.
07:46You just...
07:47making some moves I didn't expect.
07:51Like LaFont?
07:53I know you trust him, but...
07:54Look, he's like this car.
07:56He's more reliable than he looks.
07:57I'll try.
08:08Last five of the VIN are one, one, two, nine, eight.
08:12I'd rather not hold.
08:17Martina?
08:20Martina?
08:23Martina?
08:23Hi, Dios.
08:28Sorry.
08:29These are my heavy-duty ones.
08:30The brain's not braining very well today.
08:32What's up?
08:33I think I have something.
08:35Slugging through these VIN numbers didn't seem particularly efficient,
08:38so I lobbed some details about the Laura Wilson killing over to some murder buddies on Reddit.
08:41Naturally.
08:42And this user named HootDunit reached out.
08:45Did you say HootDunit?
08:47Yeah, HootDunit.
08:48You know, the owl theory.
08:50The staircase?
08:51Anyway, Hoot messaged me about a homicide in Vegas in 98.
08:57Had some of the same deets, including a blue Ford van.
09:03Astonishingly accurate.
09:05You know AI's gonna take our jobs, right?
09:08AI's gonna kill us in our beds.
09:10Can you run it through Nibin without destroying the world?
09:13For a Florida ghost philodendron.
09:15Just a cutting.
09:17Done.
09:18As long as you can do it right now.
09:19Kathy Goodman, 27.
09:24Was on vacation in Vegas.
09:26Seen at the Tropicana.
09:28Oh, Tropicana.
09:29The first swim-up blackjack table in Nevada.
09:32How's your VIN list coming?
09:34Oh.
09:34Pfft.
09:37Single woman, traveling alone.
09:39Strangled to death in her motel.
09:42Blue Ford van.
09:43Spotted outside the night she died.
09:45This could be our guy.
09:46I should call Vegas PD, right?
09:48See if they'll send the murder book?
09:50You can't, actually.
09:53It needs to be someone with a badge.
10:00What?
10:02You can bribe him.
10:03Ding, ding, ding.
10:04We got one.
10:08Incident within the last five years?
10:10A Southeast Division case from November 2023.
10:14A suspect named Javier Fuentes.
10:17Charges?
10:18A gang member in possession of a loaded firearm discharging a firearm.
10:24Could be he's still in custody.
10:26Maybe we can keep him there for murder.
10:28You're right.
10:32Strangled in her bed, just like Laura and Sarah.
10:34Could be a third victim.
10:35Gotta get into the murder book to be certain.
10:37I reached out to the captain in Vegas.
10:39He's sending it over.
10:41And, um...
10:42Colleen's the one who figured it out.
10:47Colleen, go ahead.
10:49Rawls is right.
10:50We need confirmation.
10:51But if we work under the assumption that it is the same killer,
10:54we can assume that the van was manufactured before 1998,
10:58which narrows the amount of vans that we have to track
11:01from 378 to, uh, 54.
11:05Let's bump up the 54 and show me the Vegas book when it gets here.
11:08Mm-hmm.
11:09Okay.
11:10Great job.
11:12Hey.
11:13Hey.
11:13Hey.
11:14Did Parker tell you we got a hit on that John Doe dummy bullet?
11:18His name is Javier Fuentes.
11:20He's actually still in county.
11:21That's great.
11:22Yeah.
11:24Uh, um...
11:25Listen.
11:29Uh...
11:29What's up?
11:31It's about Chastain.
11:34Is he calling you now?
11:36Because he approached me outside of Patrick's Roadhouse.
11:38No, no, Renee.
11:40There's a car accident.
11:43Chastain is dead.
11:47No one else was injured.
11:49He just...
11:49He had a telephone pole.
12:02Let's get back to work.
12:03A strong one.
12:04All right.
12:05I'll be left.
12:05He's like, oh, my God.
12:05Let's go.
12:06I'll be left.
12:06Okay.
12:07I'll be right back.
12:07Let's do it.
12:08I'll be right back.
12:09Starting to take shape.
12:36Hey. Uh, you're early.
12:40Oh, am I? It's 9 o'clock.
12:43It is. I lost track of time.
12:46I'll take one of those.
12:48Oh.
12:51Well, look at you. Same goofy smile.
12:55Is that your dad?
12:57Yeah.
12:59Is he still around?
13:02No, he died when I was 14.
13:05Surfing accident.
13:07And Dr. Tutu in there thought it would be cathartic for me to build his board, so...
13:13I'm 14. That's young.
13:18Yeah.
13:20It's just one of those things, you know?
13:23It's always there.
13:42You picked up your badge.
13:44Yeah. I'm official now.
13:48Hey. I heard about your old partner.
13:52That's rough.
13:54How long are you guys working together?
13:56Four years.
13:57Put me this close up, Cha Cha. You expect me to think straight.
14:04Mr. Fuentes, you were arrested and...
14:06Call me Little Ivy. I want to hear it come out of your mouth.
14:09No.
14:10You were arrested for possession and discharge of a firearm, November 2023?
14:15Pro violation in time served. If I ever get in front of a judge.
14:19Maybe. Except we've just connected that gun to a murder.
14:24No comeback for that.
14:39Hold up. Him?
14:42You know him?
14:43No, no, no, no. There's no way I'm doing time for someone else or shit.
14:46I walked in here on two legs and I got jumped over a plate of mashed potatoes.
14:49If you didn't do it, where'd you get the gun?
14:53I don't remember. I... I found it.
14:59All I know is I didn't kill that dude. I wouldn't go near him.
15:02Why? Who is he?
15:07He's a coyote for the cartel.
15:09Which one?
15:11Tell us.
15:12Or your name starts coming out of our mouths on the streets.
15:17Little Javi.
15:22Sacatecas. Nuevas.
15:25Okay. Now tell me who that is.
15:32Pending confirmation, we no longer have a John Doe.
15:36So our undocumented father on the run was a coyote. I'm stunned.
15:40Doesn't change the job. Solve the murder.
15:46What about the guy in jail who got caught with a gun?
15:48He didn't do it.
15:49Not your woo-woo talking?
15:50No. He had an alibi.
15:52Javier was on a job in Fresno at the time he bought it and was killed.
15:56Got the gun afterward.
15:57So he's off the board.
15:59Great.
16:00Still progress, guys. Because of Martina's bullet.
16:02If I were giving out stickers, she'd get two.
16:04Hey, do we have the murder book on the Tropicana victim?
16:07Yeah, but it's pretty thin.
16:09Nothing concrete linking her to our killer.
16:12Let me have a look.
16:14And guys, let's keep moving on those vans.
16:17Hey, Valerie.
16:18I heard the funeral is tomorrow.
16:21I guess it's my finding an arrival with.
16:24You going?
16:26Yeah, there's a lot going on.
16:27We'll see.
16:37You bring that in?
16:39Yep.
16:40Trying to warm this place up a bit.
16:42My next project is the conference room.
16:49Hey, are you, uh, still looking for that Ukrainian girl's parents?
16:54Yes, but I'm striking out.
16:56I actually think I've reached the end of the internet.
16:59Huh.
17:00I've seen a lot coming from you.
17:01Yeah.
17:02I think I found the town that she's from.
17:04They have a coffee company that won an award.
17:07They grow coffee in Ukraine?
17:08Yeah, they roast coffee in Ukraine.
17:11Anyway, I can't reach anybody over there.
17:14It's like, ah, it's like a black hole.
17:16Yeah.
17:18You know, one of my security guys, Andre, he's from Kyiv, ex-military.
17:23He might be able to help.
17:25Um, wow.
17:27Yeah.
17:28You'd do that?
17:29I'm happy to.
17:31I'll get his number.
17:33Happy birthday to you.
17:38Happy birthday to you.
17:42Happy birthday, dear Bella.
17:47Happy birthday to you.
17:51You gonna help me blow it out?
17:52Yeah.
17:53Ready?
17:54One, two, three.
17:55Yay!
17:57Did you guys make these yourself?
17:59Boyce?
18:00Yeah, he made the ugly ones.
18:01Of course he did.
18:02That is true.
18:03Good for you.
18:10We found a 95 Blue Ford registered to a dude named Coleman up in Topanga,
18:15and he's got a record for stalking.
18:17Well, that fits our guys, M.O.
18:18That's what I thought.
18:20But the court documents are sealed for privacy,
18:22so we don't know much more than that.
18:23Yeah, I can check it out.
18:24Our firm deals with these kind of creeps all the time.
18:26Yeah, I'll swing by, see if there's anything suspicious enough for a warrant.
18:30You going alone?
18:31No backup?
18:32You volunteering?
18:34Great.
18:35City ride won't start, and I'm not waiting for a jump, so hope you like a bumpy.
18:39Oh.
18:40Oh.
18:41Oh.
18:43Martinez said Topanga.
18:44I didn't know she meant this far out.
18:46Yeah, we should have taken my Beamer.
18:49Bulletproof windows.
18:50Perks of owning my own security company.
18:52It's a doorknock, Rawls.
18:53Calm down.
18:58You nervous?
18:59No.
19:00But we don't know anything about this guy.
19:02What's the harm to call him for a little bit of backup?
19:04I call out the whole dog and pony show, and he's not our killer.
19:07You got a little bit of egg on your face.
19:08Oh, man.
19:09Big deal.
19:10Big deal.
19:11Easy for you to say.
19:13Are you Andrei?
19:26I am.
19:29And you're Colleen.
19:31Oop.
19:34I hear Ukrainians are coffee connoisseurs.
19:36Is it good?
19:38No.
19:39But I will have another.
19:41Oh, okay.
19:42I appreciate you helping me.
19:44Can I pay you for your time?
19:46I am paid well by Mr. Rawls.
19:49Is he a good boss?
19:51A loyal employee would never answer this question.
19:55Well, then you pass the test.
19:59Oh.
20:01Sorry.
20:02I'm sorry.
20:05Your policeman?
20:07Undercover.
20:08Very deep.
20:19Long drive for a whole lot of nothing.
20:22You know, a little positivity goes a long way in this job.
20:26We should get some.
20:35Rawls?
20:38I told you this was just a doorknock.
20:42I'm just taking a look.
20:44You know what's so frustrating about you?
20:46You could actually be good at this if you quit acting like a boot.
20:50Look, I know you're going through it right now with your old partner and all, but I'm not your enemy.
20:59Son of a bitch.
21:01Now what do we do?
21:02Now we call for backup.
21:03All right.
21:09Four King 80 requesting backup airship to Topanga Canyon.
21:17That's not good.
21:22Where the hell is this guy going?
21:24Four King 80 requesting backup airship in Topanga Canyon.
21:29Looks like we're on our own.
21:39Great.
21:41Look at that dust.
21:55Whoa.
21:55Whoa.
21:55Whoa.
21:55Whoa.
21:55Whoa.
21:59Great.
22:05All right.
22:06Keep your eyes on the back doors as we approach.
22:09I'm going to cover you while you clear the passenger side, but slow and easy.
22:13Shots fired in as badly for everyone.
22:24Exit the vehicle.
22:25Put your hands up.
22:26Police, exit the vehicle.
22:30Exit the vehicle.
22:30Call.
22:54Passengers sight clear.
22:55Clear.
22:55Clear.
22:56Clear.
22:56Clear.
22:57Clear.
22:57Clear.
22:57Clear.
22:59Clear.
22:59Clear.
23:00LAPD, drop your weapon now!
23:07Get off my goddamn land.
23:08I don't care what kind of PI you are.
23:09We are LAPD.
23:10Drop your weapon.
23:12We are bullshit restraining orders.
23:13We are investigating murder.
23:15Murder?
23:16Put the gun down.
23:17What's she saying now?
23:20Drop your weapon now!
23:21It's not fair.
23:22Backup's on the way, sir.
23:24She has everything!
23:26Drop it.
23:30Come on, buddy.
23:39Put your hands behind your head.
23:41Get on your knees.
23:42Get on your knees.
23:44I just want to see my kids.
23:47I just want to see my kids.
23:49All right?
23:50I'm not a stalker.
23:51I swear.
23:52I won't kill anybody.
23:54She just wants to see them.
24:00Okay, buddy.
24:05Easy, doesn't it?
24:10Come on!
24:12Think about it.
24:13Two basic rules.
24:14All you need is a ball.
24:15It's the most accessible sport in the world.
24:17And the most popular.
24:19Okay, okay.
24:20I see you.
24:21But if you're going to get me into soccer,
24:23I'm going to get you into football.
24:25The steroid-fueled concussion factory?
24:27I don't think so.
24:28I don't know what to come on.
24:30Rams play like two miles away from your office.
24:33We'd make a pretty great second date.
24:35You're very confident.
24:38It's one of my flaws.
24:41Seriously, though.
24:42I would kill for the experience you're getting in cold cases.
24:45I've been shooting for detective in a couple years.
24:49What?
24:53Just picturing you in a suit.
24:55Yeah.
24:57And how do I look?
24:58They're paying this guy 50 million a year,
25:04and it's a total waste with this offensive line.
25:07Hey, Teddy.
25:08Hey.
25:08Hey, buddy.
25:09This kickoff.
25:09Yeah, sorry.
25:10I was stuck in the woods for an hour
25:12waiting for the blue suits to impound that.
25:14Let's get you a drink.
25:15Yeah.
25:16Yeah.
25:20No case talking about it, okay?
25:21I don't want to get his hopes up about Sarah until we've got a solid lead.
25:25Oh, man.
25:26Right.
25:26It's probably going to be a while.
25:29Ballard's got us chasing down every band on the side of Vegas.
25:33Hey, look.
25:34She might be a pain, but she's right for the job.
25:37You've got to be kidding me.
25:38Hey, Jakey.
25:39They're going for it on fourth and one.
25:42Okay.
25:43Yeah.
25:45Jake can feel what he wants about Ballard,
25:48but he pays me to think for him.
25:50If she's bungling the investigation, I need to know.
25:55Oh.
25:56No, I wouldn't go that far.
25:59Oh, yeah.
26:00Sounds like you and Rawls had a real Butch and Sundance moment out there in Topanga.
26:11I mean, it got a little intense, but then the guy settled down.
26:15I wasn't worried about the suspect.
26:16I was worried about Rawls.
26:18Four hours together?
26:21I thought you'd be the only one driving back from Topanga.
26:25He is a police boy for sure.
26:28But he didn't do too badly out there.
26:30And what about the suspect, Coleman?
26:33Well, Darcy's rushing his DNA, but he's not our guy.
26:36I'm sure of it.
26:38Between him and Javier, we're 0 for 2.
26:41Yeah.
26:43Just got confirmation from the authorities in Mexico.
26:46Luis Ibarra is definitely our John Doe.
26:49And he had a baby a year before he went missing.
26:53So the kid in the video is probably his.
26:56Do you know where the kid is now?
26:57The federales are tracking down next to Ken to notify them.
27:01Maybe with them?
27:03Let's hope.
27:05Interesting choice of venue.
27:08Yeah, no cops.
27:09Then they make it killer, Singapore's length.
27:11Okay.
27:12Guys, where do we go from here?
27:14Javi's intel is holding up, but it's not getting us any closer to who killed our John Doe.
27:17I think we should track down Ibarra's family ourselves.
27:21They may know something.
27:22We can't count on the federales.
27:24So tomorrow, why don't we do the first thing?
27:26Tomorrow you're out, right?
27:28Why?
27:30The funeral.
27:34I don't know if I'm going to that.
27:37He was your partner.
27:39You shouldn't let those RHD assholes keep you away.
27:42She's right.
27:45Whatever the baggage, you'll regret it if you don't go.
27:48All right.
27:50Howard.
27:51Sorry, I didn't mean to pry.
27:53I just was...
27:53It's all good.
27:55Fine.
27:55Fine.
27:56Fine.
27:56Fine.
27:57Fine.
27:57Fine.
27:58Fine.
27:58Fine.
27:59Fine.
27:59Fine.
28:00Fine.
28:00Fine.
28:01Fine.
28:01Fine.
28:02Fine.
28:02Fine.
28:03Fine.
28:04Fine.
28:05Fine.
28:06Fine.
28:06Fine.
28:07Fine.
28:08Fine.
28:09Fine.
28:10Fine.
28:11Fine.
28:12Fine.
28:13Fine.
28:14Fine.
28:15Fine.
28:16Fine.
28:17Fine.
28:18Fine.
28:19Fine.
28:20Fine.
28:21Fine.
28:22Fine.
28:23Fine.
28:23Fine.
28:24Fine.
28:24Fine.
28:25Fine.
28:55You two made a great team.
29:11Just came by to offer my condolences.
29:15Never lost a partner.
29:16Can't imagine.
29:18Saved us some seats over here.
29:21Robert.
29:23Hey, Tom.
29:25I didn't know you were coming.
29:36Blame her.
29:39She thought you could use some solidarity today.
29:42As most of you know, Ken Chastain was my boot detective just a thousand years ago.
30:08First day I met him, Cap called me in.
30:12I'm expecting to meet my new partner.
30:15And there was this kid.
30:17Baby face, wide eyes, ready to fight for the good in the world.
30:22I thought to myself, how in the hell did this mook make detective?
30:30Well, pretty quickly I found out that he had the stuff.
30:35No doubt the guy was a goofball.
30:37But we all know that that goofball act is vital to how we survive doing this job.
30:46It's how we look past that line of life and death that we all walk every day.
30:53Ken Chastain could always be depended on.
30:59When things got bad, he was the guy you wanted in your corner.
31:03He was the one who would give you the shirt off his back.
31:05And then he would tell you that it made you look fat.
31:13To my friend, Ken.
31:16Ken.
31:20I know he let you down, Renee.
31:28I'd like to think I wouldn't have.
31:30But honestly, I know what it's like.
31:37You need to keep your head down.
31:42Widow on your six.
31:52Glad we came.
31:54I'm glad she came.
31:58I can see why she read you in.
32:00It would have meant a lot to him that you're here.
32:12I know things didn't end well between you.
32:17We had a lot of good times, too.
32:20He told me about your argument the other night.
32:25He's been messed up for a while.
32:26I tried so hard to get him to rehab.
32:32He was scared it would ruin his career.
32:37I had no idea it was that bad.
32:39And he knew he got it wrong, Renee.
32:49About Olivas.
32:52He overheard something at work recently.
32:54Olivas joking about sleeping with an ex-partner.
32:58Saying that she was back for more.
33:00But it was the way that Olivas said it.
33:03It was like he had crossed a line with this woman.
33:06And Ken realized...
33:08You were telling the truth.
33:12It hit him hard, Renee.
33:18Take care of yourself.
33:19Oh.
33:38Hey.
33:39Morning.
33:40Did you ever hear back from Andre?
33:42I did.
33:42That's why I wanted to catch you before you went inside.
33:45Tell me.
33:51Um.
33:54Yulia's parents were killed.
33:57In the conflict.
34:00The whole town was pretty much leveled.
34:02Um.
34:05Which is why you haven't been able to do your magic.
34:08Your internet magic.
34:11Not your other magic.
34:12Okay.
34:17I'm sorry, Colleen.
34:18That's...
34:20Wow.
34:30You can go back inside.
34:32I just...
34:34I need a minute.
34:35I'll be okay.
34:35Okay.
34:36I'll be okay.
35:06Thanks for coming yesterday.
35:10It meant a lot.
35:11It was no trouble.
35:17So why are we here?
35:18Mr. Fuentes is very eager to help the LAPD out in any way he can.
35:23Oh, he was very eager to do a lot of things last time we saw him.
35:26But his cooperation predicated on a deal.
35:29What kind of deal?
35:32Time served and protection.
35:34Why should we trust an ex-con with known ties to the cartel?
35:37That's exactly why.
35:38If he's talking, he needs assurances.
35:42Look, due to backlogs, my client has been denied trial for longer than the sentence he would have received.
35:48And he's endured life-changing injuries as a result.
35:50We like time served and witness protection.
35:53Not if he's involved.
35:55I promise you that's not the case.
35:57Well, I'll take it to the DA, but she'll only deal if the intel's good.
36:03The gun that killed Ibarra was, like, recycled.
36:14We know the cartel runs guns through Mexico and back.
36:17It's not our jurisdiction.
36:18It's not the cartel.
36:20It's the cops.
36:21Go on.
36:27The ring of cops is running hot guns.
36:30They take them straight off the streets and sell them to the cartel for big bank.
36:34It's not just guns.
36:36They cut their hands on all the cartel shit.
36:38Drugs, trafficking.
36:39Is this why Ibarra was killed?
36:41You're not listening.
36:43This is way bigger than a coyote or some fool like me running big on the block.
36:46Then what's a fool like you know about it?
36:50They needed a piece.
36:52You ask, you get.
36:54Who gave it to you?
36:58Was definitely a cop.
37:00L.A.P.D.
37:02White dude.
37:04Forties.
37:05Street guys call him Montana.
37:07He lives for this gang shit, but he doesn't mind playing sheriff either.
37:11He's playing both sides?
37:13Uses his badge for fun.
37:14A few years back, a huge raid locked up five homeboys.
37:19Two got sent to intensive care.
37:22Compliments of this dude.
37:25That's all I know.
37:28But if you find him, I bet you'll find the others.
37:36And there's no chance Javi was talking about a different raid.
37:39No, this has to be the one.
37:41It's the right time frame.
37:42Five lockups, two ICUs.
37:44Though it is unclear who put those two in the hospital.
37:47Of course it is.
37:49If I did want to keep that quiet.
37:51I could pull personnel files for everyone on the raid.
37:54Try to narrow it down based on Javi's description, but that would leave a paper trail.
37:57Lucky for you, I got them already.
38:00And with no digital footprint.
38:01Look at you burying our lead.
38:03You know I have a flair for the dramatic.
38:06What did Javi say?
38:08Mid-forties, white.
38:11Here are six candidates.
38:14How did you get these?
38:16Apparently there are still some women who are not immune to my roguish charms.
38:20Oh, Linda from personnel?
38:22Still?
38:23Why the tone of surprise?
38:33This guy, Anthony Driscoll.
38:35He's got more than a few complaints against him for excessive force.
38:38Javi said Montana was violent.
38:40In lieu of termination, resigned 2022.
38:45Under the influence of illegal narcotics.
38:48Wait, what did you say his name was?
38:49Anthony Driscoll.
38:52Anthony, a.k.a. Tony.
38:55Who's another Tony with a violent streak and a drug problem?
38:58Tony Montana?
39:02Y'all, Scarface is like a patron saint to gangbangers.
39:06All right, let's get a six-pack in front of Javi.
39:10That's him right there.
39:13That's the cabrone called Montana.
39:23Let's start a workup on Driscoll.
39:24Everything that he did in the department and everything he's done since.
39:27Oh, first thing tomorrow.
39:29I gotta pick up Ralph from doggy daycare, okay?
39:31Obviously.
39:32First thing tomorrow.
39:33Bye.
39:38You good?
39:40Oratory, I'm on anyone asking me that for the next couple months.
39:43Okay.
39:44You good?
39:45You kidding?
39:47Finally got confirmation on what I suspected after all these years?
39:50I'm ready to get those fuckers.
39:54Aren't you?
39:57I'm just preparing myself.
40:00Last time I came from one of the Brotherhood, it didn't go so well.
40:02The complaint you filed against Olivas, right?
40:07Yeah.
40:09You know what that was about?
40:10Figured if you wanted me to know.
40:12I want you to know.
40:16He tried to assault me at a party.
40:23Justine saw me afterwards, and I thought he would back me up, but he didn't.
40:28So, Oliva's got away with it.
40:37I'm sorry that happened to you.
40:42Me too.
40:45Thanks.
40:46Have a good night, Ballard.
40:53Okay.
40:54So.
41:24Tell me about your new girlfriend.
41:54Tell me about your new girlfriend.
