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 off 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.
00:27Sarah Perlman 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?
01:00This 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.
01:07Papa, if I wanna go back, it's rotten.
01:10I struggled to find a reason to stay.
01:14Then why did you?
01:15When you knew what your so-called brothers were capable of?
01:18Because once you know that, someone has to watch the Watchmen.
01:25You're 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.
01:56What we need is some physical evidence.
01:58If we loop in Burcham.
01:59No Burcham. And definitely no IA.
02:01Look, this doesn't work unless we're all on the same page.
02:03You need to start trusting me.
02:05No one knows about this until we figure out what's going on.
02:12And that includes the Squad.
02:14As far as they're concerned, this is a John Doe murder until we can prove corruption.
02:18It's gonna be hard to do.
02:20You don't have a bullet to work off of.
02:25That may not be the case.
02:27What do you mean?
02:28Head back to the Amundsen. Martina 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, what was Bosh's take on him during the initial investigation?
02:56He thought he was covering for Harmon Harris, just couldn't figure why.
02:59Maybe now that he's dead, he'll give it up.
03:01Gotta love L.A.
03:04So, how do we find Adam?
03:06You said he works in craft service?
03:08Just find the donuts.
03:10Can I help you?
03:17You're Dolores, right?
03:19Yes.
03:20I understand that you knew Yulia Kravitz.
03:23I wanted to ask you a couple of questions about-
03:25You police?
03:26I thought you got the guy who did it.
03:28Oh, I'm just a volunteer.
03:30And I'm not here about the investigation.
03:32I know Yulia came from Ukraine, and I want to find her family.
03:35Let them know what happened.
03:36I'm sorry.
03:37I didn't know much about her family.
03:41Did she ever say their names, maybe?
03:43Or what town she was from?
03:45She didn't talk about home.
03:46It made her sad.
03:48She missed the coffee, though.
03:50Wherever she was from, they were famous for it.
03:56Adam Lennox?
03:57I'm Detective Ballard, LAPD.
03:59Some questions for you about an old friend of yours?
04:02Harmon Harris?
04:03Harmon?
04:04He died two years ago.
04:07You alibied for him back in 08 and the Laura Wilson murder, is that right?
04:11Yeah.
04:12I 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.
04:20Super 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.
04:28It's not settled until Laura's killer is found.
04:30Look, I know it wasn't Harmon.
04:34Okay.
04:35He was a decent guy.
04:37Took care of a lot of people back then.
04:39Must have been hard to lose in that.
04:42And Laura, too.
04:43She was so younger.
04:46The whole thing was a nightmare.
04:49But it wasn't Harmon.
04:52Tell us how you knew.
04:53Look, I was covering for him, but not because he killed Laura.
05:04He was with another guy.
05:07Intimately.
05:09And Harmon wasn't out?
05:10Well, Harmon didn't care who knew about him or what people thought.
05:14He was covering for the other guy.
05:17We both were.
05:18This guy's career just started to really take off.
05:20Powdering him would have ended all that.
05:24So I said it was me.
05:26We're going to need the name of Harmon's actual alibi.
05:28I can't do that.
05:30Mr. Lennox, we're talking about murder here.
05:33Phil.
05:35One second.
05:39We need that name.
05:41Do we?
05:42Right now?
05:44And add 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.
06:00Hey.
06:01Look, guys, I should really be getting back to...
06:03Wait, one more question.
06:04About the band you saw outside of Laura's a few nights before the murder?
06:07Yeah.
06:08License place started with a four.
06:10It was a blue four.
06:11It was a beater.
06:12Wait, it was a Ford?
06:14Mm-hmm.
06:15Didn't say that in the report.
06:17Funny.
06:19I wouldn't have known that back then.
06:21Uh, my 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.
06:44On our John Doe case...
06:45Oh, I have a lead.
06:47All right, Sean.
06:52I 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.
07:16It 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.
07:25You 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.
07:36You tell her yet?
07:37You joined the reserves?
07:39Yeah, that's a problem for future me.
07:42Look, about this morning...
07:44I know I got a little hot.
07:47You're just making some moves I didn't expect.
07:51Like LaFont?
07:53I know you trust him, but...
07:55Look, he's like this car.
07:56It's more reliable than he looks.
08:01I'll try.
08:08The last five of the VIN are one, one, two, nine, eight.
08:13I'd rather not hold.
08:18Martina?
08:20Martina?
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, so I lobbed some details about the Laura Wilson killing over to some murder buddies on Reddit.
08:42Naturally.
08:43And this user named Hoot Dunnit reached out.
08:45Did you say Hoot Dunnit?
08:47Yeah, Hoot Dunnit.
08:48You know, the owl theory.
08:50The staircase?
08:53Anyway, Hoot messaged me about a homicide in Vegas in 98.
08:58Had some of the same dates, including a blue Ford van.
09:01Astonishingly accurate.
09:05You know AI's gonna take our jobs, right?
09:07AI's gonna kill us in our beds.
09:09Can you run it through Nibin without destroying the world?
09:13For a Florida ghost philodendron.
09:16Just cutting.
09:17Done.
09:18Long as you can do it right now.
09:20Kathy 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.
09:36Single woman, traveling alone.
09:39Strangled to death in her motel.
09:42Blue Ford van, spotted 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.
10:01What?
10:03You can bribe him.
10:04Ding, ding, ding.
10:05I got one.
10:09Incident within the last five years?
10:11Southeast Division case from November 2023.
10:13A suspect named Javier Fuentes.
10:17Charges?
10:19A gang member in possession of a loaded firearm,
10:22discharging a firearm.
10:25Could be he's still in custody.
10:27Maybe we can keep him there for murder.
10:31You're right.
10:33Strangled in her bed, just like Laura and Sarah.
10:35Could be a third victim.
10:36Gotta 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...
10:43Colleen's the one who figured it out.
10:47Colleen, go ahead.
10:49Rawls is right.
10:51We need confirmation.
10:52But if we work under the assumption that it is the same killer,
10:55we can assume that the van was manufactured before 1998,
10:59which narrows the amount of vans that we have to track from 378 to 54.
11:04Let'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.
11:14Hey.
11:15Did Parker tell you we got a hit on that John Doe dummy bullet?
11:18Guy's name is Javier Fuentes.
11:20He's actually still in county.
11:22That's great.
11:23Yeah.
11:25Um...
11:27Listen.
11:29Uh...
11:30What's up?
11:31It's about Chastain.
11:35Is he calling you now?
11:36Because he approached me outside of Patrick's Roadhouse the other...
11:38No, no, Renee.
11:41There's a car accident.
11:43Chastain is dead.
11:48No one else was injured.
11:49He just...
11:51He had a telephone pole.
12:02Let's get back to work.
12:03No one else was injured.
12:04No one else was injured.
12:05Yeah, you're still injured.
12:06He is injured.
12:07He's injured.
12:08No one was injured.
12:09He's injured.
12:10But I wasn't injured.
12:11I was injured.
12:12He hurt.
12:13He's injured.
12:14He was injured.
12:15But I was injured.
12:16So I guess I'll get to work.
12:17We'll get to work.
12:19I'll get back to work.
12:20Starting to take shape.
12:36Hey.
12:38Uh, you're early.
12:40Oh, am I?
12:41It's nine o'clock.
12:43It is.
12:44I lost track of time.
12:46I'll take one of those.
12:47Oh.
12:50Well, look at you.
12:53Same 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...
13:13Well, 14.
13:15That's young.
13:18No.
13:20It's just one of those things, you know?
13:23It's always there.
13:42You picked up your badge.
13:44Yeah.
13:45I'm official now.
13:49Hey.
13:50I heard about your old partner.
13:53That's rough.
13:55How long are you guys working together?
13:57Four years.
14:01Put me this close to Chacha, you expect me to think straight.
14:03Mr. Fuentes, you were arrested in...
14:06Call me Little Ivy.
14:07I want to hear it come out of your mouth.
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.
14:20Maybe, except we've just connected that gun to a murder.
14:23No comeback for that.
14:39Hold up.
14:40Him?
14:42You know him?
14:43No, no, no, no.
14:44There's no way I'm doing time for someone else's 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.
14:54I...
14:54I found it.
14:59All I know is I didn't kill that dude.
15:01I wouldn't go near him.
15:02Why?
15:03Who is he?
15:03There's a coyote for the cartel.
15:09Which one?
15:11Tell us.
15:13Or your name starts coming out of our mouths on the streets.
15:17Little Javi.
15:23Zacatecas.
15:24Nuevas.
15:25Okay.
15:26Now tell me who that is.
15:28Pending confirmation, we no longer have a John Doe.
15:36So our undocumented father on the run was a coyote.
15:39I'm stunned.
15:40Doesn't change the job.
15:42Solve the murder.
15:45What 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.
15:51He had an alibi.
15:52Javier was on a job in Fresno at the time he bought it, was killed.
15:56Got the gun afterward.
15:56So he's off the board.
15:59Great.
16:00Still progress, guys.
16:01Because 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 and her will with.
16:24You going?
16:25Yeah, 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.
16:44Hey, 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.
16:58Ha!
16:59I'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.
17:17You know, one of my security guys, Andre, he's from Kiev, ex-military.
17:23He might be able to help.
17:25Um, wow.
17:27Yeah.
17:27You'd do that?
17:29I'm happy to.
17:30I'll get his number.
17:34Happy birthday to you.
17:38Happy birthday to you.
17:41Happy birthday, dear Ray.
17:46Happy birthday to you.
17:50You're going to help me blow it up?
17:51Yeah.
17:52Ready?
17:52One, two, three.
17:54Yay!
17:57Did you guys make this yourself?
17:58Daddy made that ugly once.
18:01Of course he did.
18:01That is true.
18:02Good for you.
18:09We found a 95 Blue Ford registered to a dude named Coleman up in Topanga, and he's got a record for stalking.
18:17Well, that fits our guy's MO.
18:18That's what I thought.
18:20But the court documents are sealed for privacy, so 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.
18:38Martina said Topanga.
18:45I didn't know she meant this far out.
18:47Yeah, 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?
18:59Oh.
19:00But we don't know anything about this guy.
19:02What's the harm to calling 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.
19:10Big deal.
19:12Easy for you to say.
19:24Are you Andre?
19:25I am.
19:29And you're Colleen.
19:32Oops.
19:34I hear Ukrainians are coffee connoisseurs.
19:36Is that 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?
19:50A loyal employee would never answer this question.
19:55Well, then you pass the test.
19:59Oh.
20:01Sorry.
20:02Your policeman?
20:07Undercover.
20:10Very deep.
20:11Long 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?
20:36I 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.
21:03Right.
21:06Four King-80 requesting backup airship in 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.
21:30Looks like we're on our own.
21:36Great.
21:42Look at that dust.
21:55Whoa.
21:55Whoa.
21:55Great.
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 this badly for everyone.
22:14Exit the vehicle.
22:25Exit the vehicle.
22:25Put your hands up.
22:29Police!
22:29Exit the vehicle!
22:30Exit the vehicle!
22:30off end.
22:51Exit the vehicle.
22:54Passengers sighted clear.
22:55Exit the vehicle.
22:56Exit the vehicle.
22:57Exit the vehicle.
22:58Exit the vehicle.
22:58Exit the vehicle.
22:59LAPD drop your weapon now
23:07Get off my goddamn land
23:08I don't care what kind of P.I. you are
23:09We are LAPD drop 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
23:23She has everything
23:25Drop it
23:27Come on buddy
23:31Put your hands behind your head
23:40Get on your knees
23:41Get on your knees
23:43I just want to see my kids
23:46I just want to see my kids
23:48Alright
23:49I'm not a stalker
23:51I swear
23:52I don't kill anybody
23:53She's willing to see them
23:56Okay
24:05Easy does it
24:06Come on
24:11Think 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
24:20Okay
24:20I see you
24:21But
24:21If you're going to get me into soccer
24:23I'm going to get you
24:24Into football
24:25The stairway field
24:26Concussion factory
24:27I don't think so
24:28No
24:28What?
24:29Come on
24:30Rams play like two miles away
24:31From your office
24:32We'd make a pretty great
24:34Second date
24:34You're very confident
24:36It's one of my flaws
24:39Seriously though
24:42I would kill for the experience
24:43You're getting in cold cases
24:44And shooting for detective
24:46In a couple years
24:47What?
24:53Just picturing you in a suit
24:55And how do I look?
25:01They're paying this guy
25:0250 million a year
25:03And it's a total waste
25:05With this offensive
25:05Hey Teddy
25:07Hey
25:08Hey buddy
25:09Miss kickoff
25:09Yeah
25:10Sorry
25:10I was stuck in the woods
25:11For an hour
25:12Waiting for the blue suits
25:13To impound that
25:13Let's get you a drink
25:15Huh?
25:15Yeah
25:16You okay just talking about dad
25:21Okay
25:21I don't want to get his hopes up
25:23About Sarah
25:23Until we got a solid lead
25:24Ow
25:25Oh man
25:26Right
25:27It's probably going to be a while
25:29Ballard's got us chasing down
25:30Every van this side of Vegas
25:31Hey look
25:34She might be a pain
25:35But she's right for the job
25:36You got to be kidding me
25:38Hey Jakey
25:39They're going for it
25:40On fourth and one
25:41Okay
25:42Yeah
25:43Jake can feel what he wants
25:47About Ballard
25:47But he pays me to think for him
25:50If she's bungling the investigation
25:52I need to know
25:53Oh
25:55No I wouldn't go that far
25:57Oh
25:59Yeah
26:00Oh
26:01Sounds like you and Rolls
26:08Had a real butch and Sundance
26:09Bombing out there in Topanga
26:10I mean it got a little intense
26:12But
26:13Then the guy settled down
26:14I wasn't worried about the suspect
26:16I was worried about Rolls
26:18Four hours together
26:19I thought you'd be the only one
26:22Driving back from Topanga
26:23He is a police boy for sure
26:27But he didn't do too badly out there
26:30What about the suspect Coleman
26:32Well Darcy's rushing his DNA
26:35But he's not our guy
26:36I'm sure of it
26:37Between him and Javier
26:40We're 0 for 2
26:41Yeah
26:41Just got confirmation
26:44From the authorities in Mexico
26:45Luis Ibarra is definitely our John Doe
26:49And
26:50He had a baby
26:51A year before he went missing
26:53So
26:54The kid in the video is probably his
26:56Do you know where the kid is now?
26:58Federales are tracking down next to Ken
27:00To notify them
27:01Maybe with them?
27:03Let's hope
27:03Interesting choice of venue
27:07Yeah, no cops
27:09Then they make it killer
27:10Singapore's length
27:11Okay
27:11Guys, where do we go from here?
27:14Javi's intel is holding up
27:15But it's not getting us any closer
27:16To who killed our John Doe
27:17I think we should track down
27:19Ibarra's family ourselves
27:20They may know something
27:22We can't count on the Federales
27:24So tomorrow
27:25Tomorrow
27:25Tomorrow you're out, right?
27:28Why?
27:30The funeral
27:30I don't know if I'm going to that
27:35He was your partner
27:38You shouldn't let those RHD assholes
27:41Keep you away
27:42She's right
27:44Whatever the baggage
27:46You'll regret it if you don't go
27:48Alright
27:48Now we're
27:51Sorry, I didn't mean to pry
27:53I just was
27:53It's all good
27:55Fine
28:05I don't know if I'm going to
28:07I don't know if I'm going to
28:08I don't know if I'm going to
28:09I don't know if I'm going to
28:10I don't know if I'm going to
28:11I don't know if I'm going to
28:12I don't know if I'm going to
28:13I don't know if I'm going to
28:14I don't know if I'm going to
28:15I don't know if I'm going to
28:16I don't know if I'm going to
28:17I don't know if I'm going to
28:18I don't know if I'm going to
28:19I don't know if I'm going to
28:20I don't know if I'm going to
28:21I don't know if I'm going to
28:22I don't know if I'm going to
28:23I don't know if I'm going to
28:24I don't know if I'm going to
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.
29:40She thought you could use some solidarity today.
29:55As 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.
30:22Well, I 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.
30:54Ken 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.
31:08And then he would tell you that it made you look fat.
31:12To my friend, Ken.
31:20I know I let you down, Renee.
31:28I'd like to think I wouldn't have.
31:32But honestly, I know what it's like.
31:37You need to keep your head down.
31:42We're the one you're six.
31:52Glad we came.
31:54I'm glad she came.
31:58I could see why she read you in.
32:05It 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.
32:28I tried so hard to get him to rehab.
32:32He was scared it would ruin his career.
32:33I had no idea it was that bad.
32:44And 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.
32:57Saying that she was back for more.
33:01But 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.
33:48Tell me.
33:49Yulia's parents were killed
33:56in the conflict.
33:59The whole town was pretty much leveled.
34:03Which is why you haven't been able to
34:06do your magic.
34:08Your internet magic.
34:11Not your other magic.
34:16Okay.
34:17I'm sorry, Colleen.
34:18That's...
34:19That's...
34:20Wow.
34:30You can...
34:31You can go back inside.
34:32I just...
34:34I need a minute.
34:35I'll be okay.
34:35Okay.
34:36I'll be okay.
34:37I'll be okay.
34:38I'll be okay.
34:39I'll be okay.
34:40I'll be okay.
34:41I'll be okay.
34:42I'll be okay.
34:43I'll be okay.
34:44I'll be okay.
34:45I'll be okay.
34:46I'll be okay.
34:47I'll be okay.
34:48I'll be okay.
34:49I'll be okay.
34:50I'll be okay.
34:51I'll be okay.
34:52I'll be okay.
34:53I'll be okay.
34:54I'll be okay.
34:55I'll be okay.
34:56I'll be okay.
34:57Thanks for coming yesterday.
35:10Meant 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.
35:25But 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.
35:54I promise you that's not the case.
35:57Well, I'll take it to the DA.
35:59But she'll only deal if the intel's good.
36:09The gun that killed Ibarra was, like, recycled.
36:13We 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.
36:25Go on.
36:26The ring of cops is running hot guns.
36:29They take him straight off the streets and sell him to the cartel for big bank.
36:33It's not just guns.
36:36They got 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.
36:47Then what's a fool like you know about it?
36:50I needed a piece.
36:53You ask, you get.
36:53Who gave it to you?
36:58It was definitely a cop.
37:00L.A.P.D.
37:02White dude.
37:0440s.
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.
37:15A few years back, a huge raid lock to five homeboys.
37:19Two got sent to intensive care.
37:22Compliments of this dude.
37:23That'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.
38:05What did Javi say, uh, mid-forties, white, here are six candidates.
38:14How did you get these?
38:16Apparently there are still some women who are not immune to my roguish charms.
38:21Oh, 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.
38:41In lieu of termination, resigned 2022.
38:45Under the influence of illegal narcotics.
38:48Wait, what'd you say his name was?
38:49Anthony Driscoll.
38:53Anthony, 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.
39:08That'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, uh, first thing tomorrow.
39:29I gotta pick up Ralph from doggy daycare, okay?
39:31Obviously.
39:32First thing tomorrow.
39:33Bye!
39:33Bye!
39:38You good?
39:40Oratory, I'm on anyone asking me that for the next couple months.
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.
40:04The complaint you filed.
40:06I guess they'll leave us, right?
40:07Yeah.
40:08You 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.
40:18At a party.
40:23Justine saw me afterwards and...
40:26I thought he would back me up, but he didn't.
40:28So, Malibas got away with it.
40:30I'm sorry.
40:31I'm sorry that happened to you.
40:42Me too.
40:45Thanks.
40:52Have a good night, Balor.
40:53Good night.
41:15Come on.
41:17So, tell me about your new girlfriend.
41:47So, tell me about your girlfriend.
42:09So, tell me about your girlfriend.
