Ballard Season 1 Episode 7
Transcript
00:01Previously on Ballard.
00:03You have 72 hours to find something meaningful
00:07where this case goes to homicide.
00:09So, serial killer, huh?
00:12You got a name?
00:13I found a closed case from 2008.
00:15The victim was strangled in her bed.
00:17The family reported a gold bracelet missing from the scene.
00:20We found that bracelet among our killer souvenirs.
00:24The victim's boyfriend was convicted, but he always claimed innocence.
00:27If we reopen this case, we might find a link between the women and the real killer.
00:32And we could potentially free an innocent man.
00:34Mike and Denise were found within a 10-mile radius near a crest line.
00:39So she was the target. Mike was an obstacle.
00:42We said that we could trust him.
00:44Should've kept your mouth shut.
00:46Always a pleasure.
00:48You need a right.
00:49Thanks. I got one.
00:51Ibarra was gonna flip on the cartel, so Driscoll took him out.
00:54Driscoll's either incredibly reckless or he thinks he can't be touched.
00:57They got no leads. No suspects.
01:00You're young. Maybe you don't know how this works,
01:02but they're right outside looking for cracks.
01:05Like I said, I'm not a monster.
01:13I got it.
01:14Are you sure about this?
01:15He's gonna die!
01:16Make a vertical incision a half inch deep to create an opening.
01:19Push the tube into the incision until you feel it go through the trachea wall.
01:30No!
01:31No!
01:32Fuck!
01:33No!
01:34Ah!
01:42Did you know this man?
01:45Ma'am, look at me.
01:50Ma'am, look at me.
01:53Sorry, ma'am.
01:54Sorry, man. I can't ask you again.
02:00Did you know this, man?
02:04Yeah.
02:05And you're gonna have to speak up now. I can't hear you.
02:08Her throat was compressed in the attack.
02:09She'll be hoarse for a while.
02:12Yeah.
02:13I knew him.
02:16Help me out with something.
02:18Who pulled out the trach?
02:20Him or you?
02:22You gotta read me my rights now.
02:25Hey, buddy.
02:27An ambulance is waiting. Let's pick this up tomorrow.
02:32We need her clothes.
02:34This is not my first rodeo.
02:36You'll get her clothes once she's changed at the hospital.
02:41Come on. Let's go.
02:52Are you okay?
03:12I think it's gonna be fine.
03:15We'll get on my first power.
03:18Oh, my God.
03:21We'll be here.
03:24OK, alright.
03:34I think it's gonna be fine.
03:36All right.
03:36I feel like,
03:36I got laid out here.
03:37Let's go!
04:07Let's go!
04:37What the hell happened?
04:45You said someone tried to strangle her.
04:47No, it's, uh, related to the John Doe case.
04:50What?
04:51Wow!
04:52Uh...
04:53Probably hard to know, since it's under sheriff's jurisdiction.
04:59Right, they're very territorial.
05:01Can we go see her?
05:07I don't think visitors are going to be.
05:10Detective LaFont, some detectives from Homicide are here.
05:13They want to...
05:13Hey, Tom.
05:14Greg.
05:15What the hell?
05:16Sorry to intrude.
05:17Okay.
05:19Hey!
05:21Whoa, whoa!
05:22What the hell?
05:23What's going on?
05:23Oh, you didn't have to.
05:32Believe me, it was perfunctory.
05:37You look like hell.
05:40What happened?
05:41You know what I know.
05:44Bullshit.
05:44How come you never told me an ex-cop was a suspect in your John Doe case?
05:49I just didn't get a chance.
05:50It all came together so fast.
05:52But when I get back to work, I'm going to...
05:55I don't think about that.
05:57Homicide's taken the Brumman case.
06:06So those are...
06:07I'm sorry, flowers, not...
06:10Catwell flowers.
06:11You're taking the John Doe case, too.
06:14But it sounds like that one closed itself when Driscoll pulled his trick.
06:19Any more bad news?
06:21I'm going to put a protective detail on you until we sort all of this out.
06:25No, no, no.
06:27Driscoll's dead.
06:27I don't need a detail.
06:29It wasn't a question.
06:33Fine.
06:33I get to pick the team.
06:36Once you're cleared by the doctors, you can call Metro and make arrangements.
06:40But take a few days.
06:48Bye.
06:51Hey.
06:58Hey, Ballard.
06:59I got you staying at the Sand Dollar Motel until this all blows over.
07:03Sounds lovely.
07:06Appreciate it.
07:14Bye.
07:14Bye.
07:15Bye.
07:15Bye.
07:15Bye.
07:15Bye.
07:15Bye.
07:15Bye.
07:15Bye.
07:15Bye.
07:15Bye.
07:15Bye.
07:15Bye.
07:15Bye.
07:15Bye.
07:15Bye.
07:15Bye.
07:15Bye.
07:15Bye.
07:15Bye.
07:15Bye.
07:15Bye.
07:16Bye.
07:17Bye.
07:17Bye.
07:17Bye.
07:17Bye.
07:17Bye.
07:17Bye.
07:17Bye.
07:21Bye.
07:31Hey, a friend of yours?
07:34One of the few.
07:35Okay, room 210.
07:42We'll be here if you need us.
07:45Thanks.
07:49So LaFont dropped by my crib last night sometime after one.
07:53Gave me a phone.
07:55A dead ex-cop's phone.
07:58Said you wanted me to dump the data.
08:01Did you?
08:03Before I answer that, what the hell's going on?
08:06I can't explain, but first I gotta figure out how to get that phone back in the shade of custody.
08:11Already took care of it.
08:23Working with Mo on a need-to-know basis.
08:25I need to know.
08:26I need you to fill me in.
08:29Who's Anthony Driscoll?
08:32Murdered a John Doe in one of my cold cases.
08:35And then I find out this guy's running guns and drugs between the Zacatecas Nuevas cartel and the LAPD.
08:42Jesus, Ballard.
08:43Yeah.
08:44And he must have been in deep because he chose to pull his trach rather than get arrested.
08:48Doesn't sound like a cartel hit.
08:50The way he came for you, strangling's not their style.
08:54No.
08:55My guess is he was on his own.
08:56If this was a cartel hit, we wouldn't be sitting here right now talking.
09:02I'm sorry.
09:04I pulled you into some deep waters.
09:06Ah.
09:07Story of my life.
09:08I did dump Driscoll's phone.
09:11Found a bunch of numbers.
09:13Probably Berners, so I had to chase them down the old-fashioned way.
09:17Follow the pinks.
09:18Put faces to numbers.
09:19And I still cannot believe that you took a cell phone from a crime scene.
09:29I was going to give it back.
09:30Yeah.
09:33Oh, man.
09:34I'm beginning to like you more and more.
09:36I'm beginning to like you more.
10:06Oh, man.
10:36Hunt, what's up?
10:37Just checking on you.
10:39How you doing?
10:40I'm fine.
10:42It's just my voice is driving me crazy.
10:45How's the team holding up?
10:47Not well.
10:50Do you give any thought what you're going to tell them?
10:54Everything.
10:56Why didn't you tell us?
10:57I shouldn't even be telling you at this point.
11:02Well, at least now we know who's outside of the circle of trust.
11:06No, this is so much bigger than trust.
11:09This puts all of you in danger.
11:11They went after Javier Fuentes the same day Driscoll went after me.
11:15And I know that's not the job you volunteer for.
11:18So, if any of you want out, I understand.
11:23Okay.
11:36No more secrets.
11:40Circle of trust.
11:41Let's get back to work.
11:45Get back to work on what?
11:48They took both of our cases.
11:51Right.
11:51I don't know that yet.
11:52But, but I'm going to figure it out.
12:04Hello, this is KCAL News doing a story on the...
12:07This is ABC7 calling...
12:09Detective Ballard, Mike Suffolk with the LA Times.
12:13I was...
12:13Hello.
12:15My name is Lillian Lee.
12:18I saw you on the news.
12:20I'm running out of hope.
12:21My son, he was killed.
12:24His name is Rayun.
12:26Rayun Lee.
12:27I call the detectives, but they no longer call me back.
12:34I want my son back.
12:36I fear he will never rest in peace because they never found his body.
12:49I found our new case.
12:51Who's in?
12:56The box was a mess.
12:58My guess is the regional I.O. pegged it as a gang killing and called it a day.
13:02It's going to be a heavy lift.
13:04Yeah, are you sure about this?
13:06There's no body.
13:07Just a pool of blood in the alley behind Ray's apartment.
13:09You ought to go home, rest for a couple days.
13:13No, I'd rather work.
13:14I go crazy looking my wounds.
13:15Honey, lemon ginger.
13:18Suze the vocal cords.
13:21A green Ford Fiesta was spotted on security footage leaving that alley around the time
13:27Ray disappeared.
13:28No plates, which seems gang-y.
13:31But the Vixelle pinged once after that up in La Cañada.
13:35Which seems considerably less gang-y.
13:37But it says here that Ray was affiliated with the Asian G's.
13:41Hmm.
13:41They had Koreatown on lock in 2018.
13:44Seven years later, territory's shifted.
13:46Maybe somebody will talk.
13:47Hmm.
13:48I don't know.
13:49I mean, gangs in my neighborhood can hold a grudge.
13:52When people tend to keep their mouths shut, even years later.
13:55We still have to try.
13:57So, Martina, Colleen, will you draft some flyers with the car info and the victim's photo?
14:02Push it out on LAPD socials.
14:04Rawls Parker, will you post those in the neighborhood?
14:06I mean, it's a long shot, but it's one the original investigator never took.
14:09Let's go talk to Ray's mom.
14:12Mm-hmm.
14:16Right thing to do, expanding the circle of trust.
14:20But you did leave out the part about Bosch and the cell phone you spent.
14:25I'm working up to it.
14:26The team needs to focus on this new case.
14:29The team needs to?
14:31Could use a win right now, don't you think?
14:35But, uh, why this case?
14:39I don't know, something in the mother's voice.
14:46They never found my father's body, either.
14:58Oh, shit.
14:59I spaced.
15:00What's up?
15:01It's Lancaster prison.
15:02I was supposed to go visit Jorge Ochoa today.
15:05Oh, the guy doing time for one of our serial killers' murders?
15:10Detective Renee Ballard.
15:12Yeah, I know.
15:13I'm sorry.
15:15Can you get me another appointment ASAP?
15:19Lancaster hasn't got the memo it's not our case anymore.
15:22He has not.
15:22I know he's gone.
15:25I just want to bury him so his soul can get to where it needs to go.
15:32He wanted to play baseball.
15:35Even scouts came to watch him play.
15:37But then he had an accident on his friend's motorcycle.
15:40They put a metal plate in his shoulder.
15:44No more baseball.
15:46After that, he had different friends.
15:49Rougher boys.
15:51But even God's favorite was a fallen angel.
15:54Ray was no angel, mom.
15:57He was in a gang.
15:58Did it to take care of us.
15:59But he was into some bad shit.
16:00If you don't say that, Jun would not say that.
16:03Um, Ray's brother Jun.
16:05Sorry, but if you want to know the truth, mom.
16:09Khalees need all the facts.
16:10He's right.
16:11We do.
16:13So I read in the case file that Ray got into an argument with another boy at school a few days before the shooting.
16:19Marcus Jung.
16:21Yeah.
16:22Him and Ray were friends.
16:24Until they weren't.
16:25Do you know what happened?
16:27I was just a kid.
16:28My kiss has twin face.
16:30Two-faced.
16:31I told the detective to go look at him, but because Marcus doesn't dress like a bad man.
16:37Marcus wasn't in a gang.
16:39The cops thought it was a gang thing.
16:41So they moved off, Marcus.
16:42And then they pretty much gave up altogether.
16:49Well, we're going to do everything we can to find out what happened, okay?
16:55Mm-hmm.
17:00Marcus.
17:01Marcus.
17:02I don't know.
17:05I think we're going to have a nice way to it.
17:07For sure.
17:07Yeah.
17:09Okay, I think we're going to have a shot for three more minutes.
17:12Detective Ballard.
17:12Detective LaFonna.
17:14We wanted to talk to you about Ray Lee.
17:19Yeah, um, hey, I'm going to catch up with you.
17:22Bye.
17:22He tried to jump me into the A and G's.
17:30He was recruiting me hard, and I felt the pull, you know.
17:33But I had people on my side.
17:34My mom, my teachers, the counselor at school, all trying to keep me on the straight and narrow.
17:39But when Ray got killed, look, that was a big reality check.
17:44It's just what can happen when you're in that life.
17:47I got it together quick after that.
17:49Can you tell us about the fight you had with Ray the week he disappeared?
17:53It's become like one of those urban myths, you know?
17:56We just had some static.
17:58About what?
17:59He thought I was stringing him along about joining up.
18:02But it got blown way out of proportion.
18:04People started talking like it was this cage match.
18:07And then this video started circulating.
18:10What video?
18:11Some kid uploaded cell phone footage of the fight.
18:14My mom had a lawyer friend get it taken down a couple of weeks later.
18:17They don't want hurting my prospects.
18:19Sure looks like things worked out for Marcus.
18:22Maybe at Ray's expense.
18:24Let's see where he was the day that Ray disappeared.
18:27And then maybe Colleen can dredge up that video he was talking about.
18:31Mm-hmm.
18:31Hey, I am calling an audible.
18:35You look exhausted.
18:36LaFont.
18:36You're going back to the hotel.
18:42Get some rest.
18:44Handcuffs if necessary.
18:46Burner boy is back there.
19:03Seven o'clock.
19:06Another blue suitor.
19:08I don't know him.
19:10I'll call in the shop number, see who signed it out.
19:12Man, Ballard and all these cops.
19:19What's she gotten into?
19:22Some bad shit, brother.
19:23Oh, honey.
19:51Oh, honey.
19:52Oh, my God.
19:58Okay.
20:00Okay.
20:04Oh, baby.
20:22I thought you told me to get some rest.
20:35I did, but I'm calling early because we got a lead.
20:39A witness replied to the flyer we put out.
20:42Away.
20:43Away. Surprised me, too.
20:46He lives up in Montrose, just west of La Cañada.
20:49That's where the Vicks' cell phone pinged last.
20:51Radio.
20:53He said he was heading out on an early hike up Colby Canyon
20:56on the morning in question.
20:57Saw someone coming out of the hills in jeans and a hoodie,
21:00all dirty, wearing work gloves.
21:02He drove away in a green Ford.
21:04Okay, but why would somebody remember all these details
21:06seven years later?
21:08I am so glad you asked.
21:10I am now going to read his statement.
21:12Word for word.
21:14Ahem.
21:16I got there and realized there was no pit toilet
21:20at the trailhead.
21:21I just finished my coffee.
21:23So, anyway, I found some bushes and I'm in the middle
21:27of doing my business when someone came out of nowhere.
21:32It came down right through there.
21:33My dog went crazy, pulling on the leash.
21:36I got my pants around my ankle, so I go ass over tea kettle
21:40into the dirt.
21:41Anyway, when I saw the flyer about the green Ford,
21:43it was the first thing I thought of.
21:45It was right over there.
21:55Can you get that after a while?
21:57the car running is so hot?
21:59I should have to walk like that.
22:00I've moved back in the bar.
22:02The car running is so hot,
22:03I've moved to sleep so hard.
22:04I have to go so much to keep going.
22:05I can't wait till the car running is so hot.
22:06The car running is almost gone.
22:07I have to go so hot in the car running.
22:08Where are you going?
22:09I've moved to sleep.
22:10Oh, I've moved to sleep.
22:11Let's go!
22:12Oh, I'm so happy.
22:13Oh!
22:14That's a hot shot.
22:15Hey, guys, I was in the car.
22:16Oh, I'm like, my boy.
22:17Yeah, it's a hot shot.
22:18There's a hot shot, aren't even nice,
22:19you don't have to do the best.
22:20That's him.
22:50Ballot, check it out.
23:20Amen.
23:25Did you find a gun?
23:35Were there prints?
23:37Yeah, we're processing the gun now.
23:39In Colby Canyon?
23:41Look, June, I know you want to help,
23:43but you got to let us do our jobs.
23:45Same thing the cops said seven years ago.
23:47June, look what she's done.
23:49June, she helped put your brother to rest.
23:52Just because they found the potty, Mom,
23:54doesn't mean this is over.
23:58I headed to Lancaster in the morning
24:13to go talk with Jorge Ochoa.
24:17Do you think you can...
24:19Have firearms fast-tracked gun.
24:23I'm honored.
24:26Also, uh...
24:28See if Colleen has made any progress on the video
24:31first thing tomorrow.
24:32You know, I never put it together.
24:43What happened to your dad?
24:46How it drives you.
24:54You know, you could always stay with us.
24:55Leo would love to have you.
24:58And Tutu.
25:01Especially on Bachelor Night.
25:03Oh.
25:05And leave all this?
25:09Thank you for the offer.
25:12But it's not the motel.
25:14It's just not home.
25:15Hey, what's up?
25:31You talked to Ochoa yet?
25:33No, not yet.
25:33I'm on the Sierra Highway.
25:35I'm about 40 minutes out.
25:37Any news on the gun we found with Ray's body?
25:39Firearms Freddy says it was registered
25:41to a Miss Christa Fortson.
25:43Any connection to Marcus or Ray?
25:45Not according to Miss Fortson.
25:47You spoke to her.
25:48Uh, she has an early shift at Denny's.
25:51So I swung by there and got a short stack.
25:53Said she bought a bunch of guns back in the day
25:57for an ex-boyfriend gang member.
25:59Ah, young love.
26:01Yeah.
26:01He'd dole them out to his buddies.
26:03Any chance he wants to tell us which buddies?
26:06Not likely.
26:07He's dead.
26:08And Miss Fortson's alibi checks out.
26:11Great.
26:12Swing and a miss.
26:14Yeah.
26:14Talk soon.
26:15Ugh.
26:26Sorry I didn't make it in the other day.
26:29I'm not going anywhere.
26:30That's Elena's.
26:42Your fiance?
26:44Are those your initials?
26:46Yeah.
26:48Where did you get this?
26:49In a storage unit that belonged to the person
26:51who actually killed your fiance.
26:53What do you mean?
26:55Who?
26:55I don't know that yet, Jorge.
26:57But I think you're innocent.
27:01I need to hear from you, though.
27:02I am.
27:03I am.
27:04I told my lawyer that he said the DNA was too hard to explain.
27:07He wanted me to take a plea,
27:08but I was never going to do that because I was in guilty.
27:11So you went to trial?
27:14The jury didn't believe me.
27:17Then I had no more money to fight.
27:18I loved Elena.
27:23I'd never hurt her.
27:27She gave me one, too, with her initials.
27:31It said, Mi Vida, E.C.
27:36They took it when they arrested me.
27:39She got promoted at her job.
27:41That she was so proud.
27:44When it meant long hours,
27:46we'd be apart more.
27:47So she bought these with her own money
27:51so we'd have each other.
27:55Always.
27:59I don't know about her.
28:00Her DNA's a killer.
28:01It's not foolproof.
28:02She was Jorge's fiance.
28:03Of course they slept together.
28:05Yeah, says the woman with a probable concussion.
28:09This gold bracelet belonged to his fiance.
28:12Her name is Elena Cervantes.
28:14You know where I found it?
28:15In the storage unit of a serial killer I'm investigating.
28:19And why didn't you leave with this?
28:21Because I was testing your faith in me, Damani.
28:23And you failed, by the way.
28:26You in?
28:26Yeah, I think I have.
28:30Good.
28:31This guy really deserves someone who's going to dig down.
28:34Well, I'll get the shovel.
28:37How's Javi?
28:38He's hanging on.
28:39You got any idea who came for him?
28:41Not yet.
28:43I'm working on it.
28:44Be in touch.
28:45Yeah.
28:45Whoa, whoa, whoa, hey.
28:59Hey.
29:01You got to treat her nice.
29:02Thanks.
29:12What's all this?
29:14I've got someone working on an age progression for a bar's kid.
29:18Are you all?
29:19Yeah.
29:20I called missing persons, but they're taking too long,
29:22so I went to DCFS myself.
29:24You know, asked for every kid around his age.
29:28Figured I'd look for a match.
29:30I just, uh...
29:32I didn't realize there'd be so many.
29:37So you got its hooks in you, huh?
29:43Gotcha.
29:44I found it.
29:45Marcus's video.
29:49His lawyer did a good job burying it,
29:51but I found a snip daisy chain.
29:52The Internet never forgets.
29:55Get back!
29:56Get back!
29:56Get out of here!
29:58I got it!
29:59I got it!
30:01I got it!
30:01I got it!
30:02I got it!
30:03I got it!
30:04I got it!
30:04I got it!
30:05I got it!
30:05I got it!
30:06I got it!
30:06I got it!
30:07I got it!
30:07I got it!
30:10Marcus, get out of here!
30:13Now!
30:13Yeah, you got it!
30:15All right, show's over!
30:16Come on, Mr. Kim!
30:17Let him fight!
30:18Wait, freeze it.
30:18I know that name.
30:20Him.
30:22Nathan Kim's a teacher of the school.
30:25Regional IO interviewed him,
30:27and he said that the fight wasn't a big deal,
30:29that it was blown out of proportion.
30:31Same thing Marcus said.
30:32Why did Mr. Kim play that down?
30:35For his benefit or for Marcus's?
30:37Let's find out.
30:39Stay on Gael?
30:41Let's go, Rolls.
30:44How long do you think
30:45Bertrand's gonna keep this detail on you?
30:48Until he decides I'm not in danger at home.
30:50You know I could upgrade your protection with some of my private sector guys in your house?
31:02Thanks, Green Beret.
31:03They work at the Oscars.
31:04Sounds a little fancy for me, no?
31:06You'll be free of charge, of course.
31:08That is within our budget.
31:10Can I think about it?
31:11Sure.
31:12Hey, hang on.
31:13Fawn's texting.
31:16Apparently Marcus was at a swim meet in Bakersfield the day that Ray disappeared.
31:19He broke their record for the 50-meter freestyle.
31:22Great.
31:22So he's not our guy.
31:24Doesn't look like it.
31:25Let's go talk to Mr. Kim.
31:26All right, job's over!
31:38Pretty heated in this video, Mr. Kim.
31:40And rough with Ray, considering he was one of your former students.
31:44I know.
31:46It's not a good look.
31:48This gang thing, it gets me.
31:51I grew up in this neighborhood, used to ride my bike all over, never once locked it up.
31:58And at some point, things changed.
32:03All the work I do in the classroom, it goes down the drain the second these gangs start promising
32:08them quick money and some street cred.
32:12Is that what was happening with Marcus?
32:14He had so much promise.
32:16But I could just see him at this fork in the road.
32:20And I mean, look at Ray.
32:22He was exactly where Marcus was just a few years before.
32:25And I lost that fight with him.
32:29And he ended up dead.
32:31Do you think Ray died because of his gang affiliation?
32:36I know he did.
32:37And he had a long list of enemies by the time he died.
32:41You remember who was on that list?
32:43Seven years ago.
32:45Man, I talked to the detective back then.
32:47There was a kid named Ashton Reed.
32:52Eddie Fortson was another one.
32:55Victor Cabrera.
32:56Did you say Fortson?
32:58Yeah, he was a student in my class.
33:00Any relation to Krista?
33:03That was his sister.
33:06Why?
33:06God I killed Ray was registered to Krista Fortson.
33:13Why didn't she have an alibi?
33:15Yeah, she did.
33:16Which makes her brother our best bet.
33:27Hey, if this ain't about the child support, then what is it?
33:30Murder, Eddie.
33:31Ray Lee.
33:32Oh.
33:34Hi.
33:34I...
33:35Ray Lee.
33:37He was shot multiple times.
33:39With a gun registered to your sister.
33:41And we know you had beef with him, too.
33:43Ray who?
33:43I don't know, Ray.
33:44Well, you went to school together.
33:47Eddie?
33:47I went to school with lots of people.
33:50You were both on the baseball team.
33:52You rode together to away games.
33:53Okay.
33:54I don't know Ray.
33:54Your sister told us about the guns she bought.
34:00She'd buy one for you, too?
34:03We're processing that gun right now for Prince.
34:06If we find yours, Eddie, you'll be paying child support from prison.
34:12Yeah.
34:15Krista gave me that gun.
34:16But it wasn't because I wanted to kill no one, okay?
34:18I was getting messed with.
34:22At school.
34:23You mean bullied?
34:25Krista told me I could use it.
34:27Flash it around.
34:27Get the upperclassmen to ease off me.
34:30But it wasn't a week before someone stole it from my locker.
34:34My sister was pretty bad.
34:36You been to Colby Canyon?
34:38Colby Canyon?
34:39I don't know.
34:40What's that?
34:40The hiking trail.
34:41Not the two.
34:42That place.
34:44Never been.
34:45No.
34:45No.
34:45Only the four-point whatever's got to go.
34:47What do you mean?
34:48From my school.
34:50One of the teachers took all the smart kids once a year for bonding.
34:53Trust falls.
34:54All that kind of shit.
34:55What teacher?
34:57I don't know.
34:57What's his name?
34:58Mr. Uh...
34:59Mr. Kim.
35:03Yeah.
35:05I never made the cut.
35:07Gotta go back and talk to him again.
35:09About what?
35:09All we have is a hunch and the word of a former student.
35:12We're gonna need more.
35:14Yeah.
35:15Well, we're not gonna get anything this late.
35:17So, first thing in the morning, we start from scratch on Nathan Kim.
35:22Good night.
35:26Hey, Rawls.
35:27If that offer for security still stands, I'll take it.
35:32Oh.
35:33Yeah.
35:35Consider it done.
35:37Hmm?
35:38Appreciate you.
35:51Hey.
35:53I wanted to get this all cleaned up before you got here.
35:56Oh, thank you.
36:03I see you upgraded your protection detail.
36:06Pretty impressive.
36:07I got some help from a friend.
36:10Is Tutu home yet?
36:11Outside with Lola.
36:17Hey, Colleen, what's up?
36:18You know I can't help myself, so I did some digging into Nathan Kim's vehicular history.
36:24Turns out his mom owned a green Ford Fiesta at the time of Ray's murder.
36:28No way.
36:30Do we know where it is now?
36:31Donated to charity after she passed in 2021.
36:34I'll call tomorrow morning as soon as they open.
36:36If we can find the new owner, maybe there's some physical evidence left behind.
36:40Yeah, it's a big if and a big maybe, but it's worth a shot.
36:44Nice find, Colleen.
36:46Now put your laptop away.
36:48Copy that.
36:57Hi, girl.
36:59Oh.
37:00Oh.
37:03Oh, sorry.
37:04Here.
37:07Oh.
37:13I hate you.
37:16Oh.
37:16Are you ever gonna tell me about that tattoo?
37:23Uh, yeah.
37:26After my dad died, I was...alone.
37:31My mom was already long gone.
37:35I fell in with some...some people, and it...
37:40Anyway, it wasn't good.
37:42I was really messed up.
37:45So I got this.
37:47You know, I figured, even if I was lost,
37:50that maybe he could watch over me.
37:53I love that.
38:03Oh, gosh.
38:09You've been so good to me.
38:12It's easy to be good to you.
38:15These last few days,
38:21something's kinda...snuck up on me in all the chaos.
38:27When you called that night,
38:31realizing you were in trouble,
38:34it made me think...
38:36Hmm.
38:46I'm on my way in.
38:58Get ready to love me.
39:00Uh, okay.
39:01We found the donated Ford.
39:02And with the current owner's consent, FSD is processing it as we speak.
39:16No shit.
39:17And we hit the jackpot.
39:18Cause nobody ever wiped the GPS data off the nap.
39:20Guess where Nathan Kim was the night Ray died.
39:22Colby Canyon.
39:23You love me, right?
39:24Hang on, I got another call.
39:26Detective Renee Ballard.
39:27June is gone.
39:28He said one of his teachers killed Ray.
39:30Mr. Kim, I don't know what he's gonna do.
39:32Alright, I'm headed there.
39:33What?
39:34What?
39:35Alright, I'm headed there.
39:36No!
39:37No!
39:38No!
39:39No!
39:40No!
39:42No!
39:43No!
39:44No!
39:45No!
39:46No!
39:47No!
39:48No!
39:49No!
39:50No!
39:54No!
39:55No!
39:56No!
39:57No!
39:58No!
39:59Black and White's got here first. They saw a young Asian male barricaded inside, and they called SWAT.
40:06Shit! We gotta move.
40:09Rawls, you're coming with Mila Fon Parker. Watch the back.
40:29Rawls got a crowbar.
40:34June?
40:34Go away! Please, do something!
40:36Shut up!
40:38June, it's Detective Fowler.
40:40Shut up!
40:40You put out the gun and walked towards the door. We got this guy.
40:43He killed Ray! Nobody did anything!
40:47Colby Canyon. That's where you take the smart kids. Same place you buried my brother!
40:52I don't know what you're talking about.
40:55Bullshit! You're lying!
40:57Tell him what you did, Nathan.
40:58You're crazy. I didn't do anything.
41:01We have the evidence. We have your car. You don't have time.
41:08Okay, okay! I didn't want to hurt anyone. I just went there that night to scare him.
41:13You took a gun!
41:13Guns are all he understood!
41:16I didn't go there to kill him. But think about it. How many kids did I save?
41:21Shut up!
41:21June!
41:22We have everything we need, June.
41:24All right, I told you I wouldn't quit. Put the gun down. All right?
41:28Let us come in there. Do our jobs. We got him! Put the gun down.
41:39Come on! Help us!
41:45Put it down.
41:45June, come to me. Come to me. Come to me. Turn around. On the ground. On your knees.
41:57Don't move! Don't move!
42:06Stay away, huh?
42:07I got him! I got him! I got him! I got him!
42:09Come on!
42:10Hands behind you, pack!
42:11I'm sorry.
42:16I know.
42:22Spoke to the DA.
42:24I explained to her about June, and she's going to push for a low term.
42:27This poor mother.
42:29At least she has answers now.
42:31It sucks it took so long.
42:33Well, that's because the original investigator was looking for a bad guy that looked like a bad guy.
42:37Sometimes they just look like us.
42:39What do you say we put this one on the shelf, too?
42:42They bought a case.
42:44It's definitely as good as closed.
42:47Oh, um, one sec.
42:55Well, a little more work to do.
43:01You want to put it up?
43:03You went through hell with this one?
43:05No.
43:06That's your case.
43:09Hey, Harry.
43:23You traced another number from Griscoll's cell phone.
43:35I wanted you to see it for yourself.
43:36Kids, where are you going?
43:50Hey, hey, slow.
43:51You gotta be fucking kidding me.
43:54Oh, my God.
43:58You Hoo.
43:59Follow me today.
43:59Oh, God.
44:12Oh, God.
44:13Oh, God.
44:15Oh, God.
44:17Oh, God.
