00:03Good to see you again.
00:04What took you so long?
00:06Look, why don't you get ready? I'll take you back.
00:17Okay, Dottie.
00:18Make sure to get you your favorite room.
00:21I really needed this.
00:23Get settled. I'll be back in a minute.
00:29Fine.
00:32Come on in, Kai.
00:34I'm ready for you.
00:36My calves could use your thumbs.
00:39Wish you had more than two.
00:42Okay.
00:43Okay.
00:44Okay.
00:47Okay.
00:59Okay.
01:05Oh, why not?
01:06Just throw it on the floor. No problem.
01:14So, you...
01:15Ta-da.
01:16Mom, have you seen my controller?
01:18Uh, you're gonna have to be a little more specific.
01:20The one for my S75K drone with a three-axis gimbal.
01:23I don't know why I asked. That didn't help.
01:25I looked everywhere.
01:25I don't think you're supposed to be taking it to school, though, bud.
01:27Good morning. Here, do you need any help?
01:29Oh, Chloe, what's for breakfast?
01:32Ooh, mashed bananas.
01:34Ooh, mashed bananas. What's going on?
01:38Do you have good news to share?
01:41How do you do that?
01:42Was it that obvious?
01:44I mean, I am your mom, but yes.
01:46Well, I'm gonna need you to give me a ride Saturday mornings.
01:49Starting this Saturday.
01:50No way!
01:52A ride where?
01:53Oberlin Design Center.
01:54I got into that art class that I applied for.
01:56They said I beat out 60 other students for the spot.
01:58Ava!
01:59I'm so proud of you!
02:01Congratulations, Ava.
02:02That's a 1.67 acceptance rate.
02:03That's more competitive than some ivies.
02:05Not sure how you know that, but thank you.
02:09Good morning, Lieutenant.
02:10Do you have good news to share with me?
02:20Hey, how's she doing?
02:22Unconscious, but stable.
02:24CT scan didn't reveal any brain damage.
02:26Right now, we just have to wait for her to wake up.
02:28Her masseuse found her unconscious.
02:30He did CPR.
02:31If he hadn't gotten there when he did.
02:33And I doubt she saw whoever did this since they pinned her to the table.
02:38I didn't know they were close.
02:41Dottie's been a mentor to Daphne since she joined the LAPD.
02:45Hey, Daphne, listen.
02:47If you don't feel comfortable being part of this investigation...
02:49No, no, I'm good.
02:51All right, I'm happy to hear that.
02:53Because I want you running lead on this case.
02:56I've never led an investigation, and Dottie and I are close.
02:59Which is why you have context that we don't.
03:02I know you won't let any feelings that you have interfere with your ability to find who did this.
03:06No, we will find them.
03:08Good.
03:09Karatek is already on his way to a suspicious overdose case on the east side.
03:13I'll have Oz join him, and then we can update them on Dottie later.
03:16But for now, Morgan, I want you to stick with Daphne.
03:20You got it.
03:34She's going to be okay.
03:36That woman is as tough as it gets.
03:38She'll be all right.
03:39I didn't realize you and Dottie were so close.
03:42She was my field training officer.
03:44We spent five years in a patrol car seeing every kind of mess you can think of.
03:48It made detective around the time Dottie started teaching full-time.
03:52But we stayed close.
03:53Dottie was like a surrogate mother to me.
03:56And like most mother-daughter relationships.
03:59It's complicated.
04:00She wanted me to take the sergeant's exam.
04:02I thought that's what you wanted.
04:03I did.
04:04Okay, so what happened?
04:07I've watched what Soto and Dottie have put up with for years.
04:12The hoops, double standards.
04:14I just figured what's the point.
04:17And Dottie disagreed.
04:19She said some things.
04:21I said some things.
04:23We haven't talked since.
04:28I mean, Dottie comes in every Tuesday morning for the 60-minute deep tissue.
04:32Well, it looks like this place has a lot more than massages.
04:34Yeah, I mean, we offer IV drip treatments, Botox injections, laser removal, chemical pills, stuff like that.
04:39What's with the sensors on everybody's arm?
04:41Uh, they're proprietary vital sensors.
04:43They track hydration, temperature.
04:44We use them for all of our treatments.
04:46I would explain the adhesive on Dottie's wrist.
04:48Can you tell us exactly what happened after Dottie went into the massage room?
04:51I got paid to the front desk.
04:53This delivery person was trying to drop off some oils that I didn't order, but was insistent that I pay
04:56for them anyway.
04:57How long were you gone, do you think?
04:58About 10 minutes or so.
05:00Went back to the room.
05:00I knocked on the door.
05:01When I didn't hear anything, I went inside and I found her unconscious.
05:04No one heard Dottie's attack.
05:06I mean, she must have put up a fight.
05:08Massage rooms are soundproof.
05:09Mm-mm.
05:10Mm-mm.
05:10Okay.
05:12If we have any more questions, I'll be in touch.
05:15It's like I need another reason not to want a massage.
05:18Not how you like to unwind?
05:19No.
05:20Lay face down, try not to think about anything for an hour.
05:22Can't see who's touching me.
05:23No, thank you.
05:24Dottie used to say you can't pour from an empty cup.
05:26Yeah, well, she might want to find a new happy place because this spa is a perfect place to get
05:30attacked.
05:30Yeah, and without her weapon, she was relaxed and vulnerable and easier, Mark.
05:34Yeah, and that delivery sounded more like a distraction than a mistake, right?
05:37So who would know that she was getting a massage?
05:39Well, like you said, her spa appointments were routine.
05:43So a lot of people at the LAPD.
05:44Her classroom is a place to start.
05:47So now that's our call, check it back out!
05:50Dottie runs 51 continuing ed courses here at the police academy.
05:54Forensics, interrogation, ethics.
05:57She earned those weekly massages.
05:58Do you know anyone who would have wanted her dead?
06:00Dottie is very by the book.
06:02Any time she sees any misconduct, she would report it.
06:06And that, uh, not everyone appreciated that.
06:08They didn't like her doing her job?
06:10Well, not everyone loves being told how to act.
06:13Especially by a woman?
06:14And a woman of color.
06:20This is her office.
06:21Okay, Morgan, you want to start over there? I'll check out over here.
06:24You got it.
06:28No way.
06:29What?
06:30Look at you two.
06:32Oh, wow.
06:33She framed that.
06:34That was from the day I meet detective.
06:37That's cute.
06:38Nothing seems out of place.
06:40Yeah.
06:41Might not look like it, but...
06:44When I took Dottie's class, everything was always in order.
06:48Perfectly tidy stacks of things.
06:50Papers clipped the same way, top left.
06:54But those papers are clipped, top right.
06:56These binders are out of alphabetical order, and that tray is a mess.
07:00You know what?
07:01For Dottie, this is a mess.
07:03Kira, you think someone went through her stuff and then tried to clean it up after?
07:08What are these?
07:09Let me see.
07:14Let me see.
07:23I know who's here.
07:27Right there, the red hair.
07:28Not you.
07:29Him.
07:49Did you just tackle your first suspect as a lead investigator?
07:54You're not gonna say things like this the whole case, are you?
07:56I probably am.
08:07Any word on Dottie?
08:08We just got off the phone with the hospital.
08:10I'm still waiting for an update.
08:11And now this guy's gonna be Daphne's first solo interrogation.
08:14Yeah.
08:14We're not exactly easing her in having a question of fellow officer.
08:18Hmm.
08:18Daphne can handle it.
08:19Dottie wasn't her only mentor.
08:21Time to see how she puts your training to use.
08:23You mean our training.
08:25By the way, I got an update on Arthur's attacker.
08:28His name's Eric Hayworth.
08:29He's from New Jersey.
08:30He's in a hospital across town after the beating Arthur gave him.
08:33As soon as the doctor's clear, Hayworth will bring him in for questioning.
08:38There she is.
08:45You know, when I woke up this morning, I didn't expect to get a lesson in excessive force.
08:49I didn't expect to have to give one.
08:52Officer Hoff, we've detained you today under suspicion for the attempted murder of Dorothy Reynolds.
08:59Can you describe your connection to the victim?
09:02Did you get that from my textbook?
09:04How about you focus on my question?
09:05How about you find me someone who doesn't need training wheels?
09:08Took you down, didn't I?
09:09Well, luck finds everyone at least once.
09:12Push me a cop like me on an investigation like this?
09:16You're out of your league.
09:18I can tell.
09:25Hey, should we...
09:28Since you brought it up, let's talk about what kind of cop, probationary cop, who loses his gun outside a
09:40Rams game.
09:44Hey, one mistake, and Reynolds writes me up, and all of a sudden I'm radioactive?
09:48You know what something like this does to my career, my life?
09:51It's not your life I'm worried about.
09:53It's Dottie's.
09:55Okay, I heard that she might have not reported the file, so yeah, I panicked.
09:59But do you have any idea what it feels like to have everything you've worked for dangled off a cliff?
10:05No, but I do know that you had motive, means, and a history of losing your little temper with Kyle.
10:11Hey!
10:12That's not true!
10:16You know what I think?
10:18I think fear makes people do stupid things.
10:21And right now, you don't look angry to me.
10:24You look scared.
10:27Tell me, Officer Hoff, where were you this morning?
10:35I was at home.
10:37With my girl.
10:40I made the coffee, he just...
10:43No, no, wait.
10:44She made the coffee, I made the toast.
10:47I burnt it again.
10:54Nice work in there.
10:56Playing the newbie to make him feel in control.
10:57I thought I'd give it a try, see if it worked.
11:00Talk to me.
11:00What you got to tell you?
11:01We have him on B&E, but I don't think he's our guy.
11:04His speech pattern shifted when he talked about his alibi.
11:07He stumbled, doubled back, added details later.
11:10That's how real memory works.
11:11Liars stay smooth.
11:13Good instincts.
11:14Now it's time to find out who else wanted Dottie dead.
11:16You can ask her yourself.
11:18She's awake.
11:2360 minutes of peace every Tuesday is all I ask for.
11:27So sorry, Dottie.
11:29We were really worried about you.
11:31Are you sure you're ready to talk?
11:33The sooner we do this, the sooner we find whoever attacked me.
11:36What do you remember?
11:39Hold up.
11:40Is the leader made you lead detective?
11:42Just this one time.
11:43She wouldn't have done it if she didn't think you were ready.
11:45Can we not do this right now?
11:48Okay, Dottie, can you think of anybody who might want you dead?
11:51Every LAPD officer since 1995 has been through my classes or seen my signature on their walking
11:56papers.
11:57Some circles, some circles, I ain't too popular.
11:59Okay, well, I saw the calendar in your phone.
12:02Looks like you've been busy.
12:03You had an ethics convention, keynote speaker at a sorority alumni event, town hall meeting,
12:09anything unusual happen at any of those?
12:11Not that I can think of.
12:12I honestly have no idea who would do this.
12:15It's okay.
12:16You're gonna find them.
12:24Hey, is Morgan okay?
12:26She's fine.
12:27How are you?
12:30I'm a sitting duck in here for whoever sent Hayworth after me.
12:33You should have thought of that before you beat the man half to death.
12:36The man ambushed me first, remember?
12:40So what do you expect me to do?
12:41Just turn the other cheek?
12:43No, I expected you to be smarter than that.
12:46What did Hayworth say?
12:47Tell you the truth, we don't get to talk that much because I ran out of time.
12:51But what I did find out is that the man is ex-military, most likely special forces, and
12:57that's why it took me a minute to get them to confess to taking Roman.
13:00There's such a thing as a forced confession.
13:02But what if it's true?
13:04Then he can tell us where he took Roman that night.
13:06Exactly.
13:08And who ordered it?
13:12Come on!
13:13You have one job.
13:15Morgan, what's going on?
13:16Every single pen is betraying me is what's going on.
13:19Feel me in depth?
13:21Well, Officer Hoff's alibi checked out, so we cut him loose.
13:24Dottie offered a few names.
13:25Cadets, she failed.
13:26Officers, she reported.
13:29Oz.
13:30Yeah.
13:31Give me a couple of your pens, I'll take a peek at your overdose case.
13:33Really?
13:34Uh, Morgan, we're good.
13:35Keep your eyes on the Dottie board.
13:36Actually, it couldn't hurt.
13:37The sooner you wrap up that case, the sooner you two can get back on Dottie's.
13:40All hands on deck.
13:41Beat it.
13:42Mm-hmm.
13:42Okay, what do you got so far?
13:43Luke Knight, 28, personal trainer, found dead in his apartment after an ibuprofen overdose.
13:48The amount in his system indicates murder.
13:50Lack of pills in his stomach and the injection site on his arm suggests he was dosed intravenously.
13:54Time of death was sometime between 8 p.m. and 10 p.m. last night.
13:57Anybody else find it weird that both victims went to the same spa?
14:00Wait, are you saying our cases are connected?
14:03How do you know that?
14:04You see this stuff on Luke's wrist?
14:06Dottie had that in the exact same spot.
14:08The ME said it was some kind of adhesive residue.
14:10Yeah, it's from the sensors that the spa uses to track vitals.
14:13Or a number of other things.
14:14Not once you add in these red marks on Luke's wrist.
14:18You could have just pointed.
14:20The spa puts those sensors on with an adhesive that has lithium salts in it.
14:24But in someone whose pH levels are all over the place, you get a chemical reaction.
14:28So the marks mean Luke wore the same sensor from the spa?
14:31And according to Dottie's masseuse, these sensors are specific to this spa only.
14:34So, same patches?
14:36Same killer.
14:37I suggest we go find her.
14:41Dottie!
14:41Come for the queen, you best not miss.
14:44What are you doing here?
14:45She checked herself out against doctor's orders.
14:47You're damn right I did.
14:49I'm not sitting around eating Jell-O while y'all do the hard work to find whoever did this.
14:53So, who wants to get me up to speed?
14:58You're saying the person who tried to kill me killed this guy.
15:01That's our working theory.
15:02So, we find the connection between you and Luke Knight.
15:04We find our killer.
15:05Have you ever seen him before?
15:06Not a day in my life.
15:08So, what's next?
15:09We take it from the top.
15:11Go over everything.
15:11Oz, what do we know?
15:12Dottie and Luke were at the same spa at different times.
15:15Our killer went after Dottie at the spa, but went after Luke at his home.
15:19Maybe the attempt at the spa got interrupted somehow?
15:21Or that was the killer's plan all along.
15:23You know, two different murders in two different places, hoping we wouldn't make the connection.
15:27Okay, so we know Dottie's movements to and from the spa, but we need to track Luke.
15:30Morgan, you and I go back to the spa to see who Luke interacted with.
15:35Dottie, would you like to join us?
15:37Why not?
15:38Not every day.
15:39I get to revisit my attempted murder.
15:41Okay.
15:43Why don't you guys go?
15:44I got stuff to do back here.
15:46The killer could be a staff member or a guest who tracked them there.
15:49Okay, Karadek and Oz go to the gym where Luke trains his clients.
15:52See if anyone there had motives to kill him.
15:53Cross-reference them with anyone who had an issue with Dottie.
15:56And we can ID who one of them both did.
15:57All right?
15:58Let's go.
16:02I knew something was wrong when Luke didn't come in.
16:04I see him every morning at 4.45 a.m. when he starts training clients.
16:08Sounds pretty dedicated.
16:10What kind of clients was Luke bringing in?
16:12Celebrities, high earners.
16:13Luke was just starting out, but he was on the rise.
16:16He was all over social media.
16:17Was he on bad terms with anyone?
16:19Not that I saw.
16:20Most people only care about results, and Luke always got them there.
16:24You recognize this woman?
16:26Hmm.
16:28Sorry.
16:29Well, Phyllis, thanks for your time today.
16:30If we need anything else, I'll...
16:32I'll be here.
16:36Yeah.
16:37She's right.
16:38Luke had some pretty high-profile clients.
16:41Oh, wait.
16:41Is it...
16:42Caption says, taking my new trainer to Malaysia.
16:45Posted that three weeks ago.
16:46Well, who was his old trainer?
16:49Vaz Ahmadi.
16:50Maybe Luke poached him from Vaz.
16:52And if Vaz blamed Luke for stealing his golden goose...
16:54That's motive.
16:55Mm-hmm.
16:55We need to talk to him.
16:57Well, I don't think we have to go far.
17:02There you go.
17:03Oh, shit.
17:04Squeezing, squeezing.
17:05Did you train this man?
17:06Yeah, I was his trainer.
17:08Must have stung when Luke took such a high-profile client.
17:10Look, Luke was young and hungry.
17:13He was chasing my career.
17:14You gotta admire the hustle.
17:16You recognize this woman?
17:19Where were you at nine last night?
17:21Training Teddy for a military movie.
17:24We did it live.
17:26It's on there.
17:29One last hole.
17:30Hole.
17:31You see how Teddy's keeping his core tight?
17:33That's the key right here.
17:34Get the demons out right here, Teddy.
17:36Come on.
17:36Hey, resistance out.
17:37Come on.
17:41I've been baking all afternoon.
17:44I'm good.
17:45Thanks.
17:46What's wrong?
17:48Nothing.
17:50Well, that's not true.
17:51You want to tell me what's going on,
17:53or are we just going to do this all night?
18:01I can't believe Ava got in,
18:03but I think we all know why.
18:05What the hell is that supposed to mean?
18:08Is this Justin Kidd suggesting that you got in this class
18:11because you're black?
18:12Sounds like it.
18:17Oh, my love.
18:21You know,
18:23I am very familiar with being underestimated
18:26for all kinds of reasons,
18:29but the color of my skin has never been one of them.
18:33And I can sit here and talk to you
18:35until I'm blue in the face
18:35about how talented I think you are
18:37or how I know that you belong
18:38in every single room that you're in.
18:43But I don't think that matters right now, does it?
18:48I'm sorry.
18:50What can I do?
18:51How can I help?
18:53You can't.
19:04Do you want me to put a hit out on this child?
19:07Because I will.
19:08I know.
19:10I think I should have figured this one out on my own.
19:14Okay.
19:17I'm right here.
19:28I hear I have you to thank for saving my life.
19:31You know I couldn't let my favorite client go out like that.
19:33I never did get that massage.
19:35Yeah, we'll fix that when you finish your investigation.
19:38On the house.
19:43What?
19:43Nothing.
19:44Miss Reynolds.
19:45Hi.
19:45Kirk Hartford.
19:47I own the spa.
19:48Miss Reynolds.
19:48Words cannot express how sorry I am.
19:51Relax.
19:51I have no plan to sue.
19:53Unless you give me a reason.
19:55We think Dottie wasn't the only target.
19:58Another guest, Luke Knight,
19:59was killed in his apartment between 8 and 10 p.m.
20:02He had residue from one of your fancy hydration trackers,
20:05so we're thinking he was here yesterday.
20:08Let me check.
20:11Luke Knight.
20:13Huh.
20:14No record of that name as a guest.
20:16But he had on one of your trackers.
20:18Maybe Luke used a different name,
20:20or one of your employees took him on as a client off the books.
20:23We closed early for an all-staff meeting.
20:25Everyone was here at 9 p.m.
20:26Which means no one who works here could have killed Luke.
20:34It doesn't make any sense.
20:35Why would Luke wear a custom sensor from a spa he never went to?
20:38Did you guys find anything at the gym?
20:40Boz lost a client to Luke,
20:42but he was live streaming during the murder.
20:43TID says it's legit.
20:45So we've got nothing.
20:46Hey.
20:47Hey, that's not on you.
20:48I'm the lead detective.
20:50Of course it's on me.
20:52Look, until we tie Dottie with Luke,
20:54we're right where we started.
20:55Well, maybe what we all need is some sleep
20:57and the clarity of a new day.
21:01Yeah.
21:02Let's just pick this up tomorrow.
21:04Hey.
21:06Ava, you okay?
21:07You know, your mom already left for the day.
21:09I know.
21:10I had my friend Brittany give me a ride over here.
21:13I was wondering if you had time to talk.
21:16Yeah.
21:17Let me see.
21:20Dottie?
21:20You feeling all right?
21:22Fine.
21:22Well, y'all need to up your snack game in the kitchen.
21:26Dottie.
21:27Whoa, hey.
21:27Dottie.
21:28I got you.
21:30I'm fine.
21:31I just need to sit down.
21:33Okay, I am taking you back to the hospital.
21:40You don't need to stay here all night.
21:42I'm sure you have better places to be.
21:44I am exactly where I want to be.
21:51I think about our fight.
21:54And what I could have said differently.
21:57I think about what you could have said differently as well.
22:04However, I feel like every time we talk, it's about what I should do next.
22:09And sometimes, I need you to listen.
22:11I do listen.
22:13Like now?
22:18Go on.
22:19I don't want to take the sergeant's exam because...
22:22Because Soto got passed over.
22:24I know.
22:25So what?
22:26Why not just take the damn test?
22:29Why not show them who you are?
22:32Why don't you keep throwing yourself at the wall?
22:35That's how we break through.
22:36Because I don't want to spend my whole life trying to make people believe in me.
22:40So what do you want?
22:56You sure it's okay I came by?
22:57Yeah.
22:58Yeah.
22:59What's going on?
23:00I got into this design class.
23:02Yeah, I heard.
23:03You did?
23:04Yeah.
23:05Your mom pretty much told the entire LAPD.
23:08She's really proud of you.
23:10She said you were so excited.
23:12I was.
23:13Until I saw this post.
23:22The quietest belief that a black woman is good at something.
23:27I've had front row seats of this show many times.
23:30I showed it to my mom, but this isn't her battle to fight, so...
23:37What do you do when people say stuff like this to you?
23:43Well, first I put them in their place.
23:46And then I show them how wrong they are.
23:49I just can't help thinking that other kids agree with Justin.
23:53He's just the only one who actually said it.
23:55And now you're wondering if you should even take the class.
23:58Why would I sit in a room full of kids who don't even think I deserve to be there?
24:02What do you think I should do?
24:09What is your heart telling you to do?
24:17Hey, so I know you told me not to fly my drone at school.
24:20I don't love where this is going.
24:21And technically I didn't.
24:23I went across the street to test the gimbal.
24:25That's what keeps it steady whenever it's tracking the moving target.
24:28Oh, we're targeting people now.
24:29Oh, just for fun.
24:30I was tracking a kid running laps, and that's when I saw someone shatter Mrs. Kim's window.
24:33Wait, really?
24:34Yeah, and everybody thinks it was Theo because he hates Mrs. Kim for always giving him detention.
24:38But it wasn't Theo.
24:39It was actually a delivery guy unloading equipment from his truck.
24:42Hang on.
24:43Everybody thought it was the kid who hated this lady, but really it was a total stranger?
24:48Yeah.
24:48I think we should tell the school.
24:50Some circles, I ain't too buckled.
24:52Are you saying our cases are connected?
24:54I honestly have no idea who would do this.
24:58Yeah.
25:00Yeah, I think we should.
25:01I think we should.
25:37I think I figured out what we've been doing wrong.
25:41Looking for someone with motive.
25:43That's usually how we conduct a murder investigation.
25:45Yeah, if the attacker knows the victim.
25:47But what if it was a total stranger?
25:49What if it was someone who had no idea who you were until they studied you?
25:53You think someone's been following Dottie.
25:55I do.
25:56And in order to figure out who, I've done a little light-stalking myself.
26:00According to your doorbell camera, you leave your house around 8 o'clock every morning.
26:04Your credit card shows me that you get your coffee around noon every day,
26:07which I don't know how you're waiting that long, but that's on you.
26:10Then you get home around 6 p.m. every night.
26:13You took in your neighbor's trash cans when they went to Morocco.
26:16You found a home for this very cute little kitty who was living underneath your porch.
26:20Okay, now that's getting weird. How do you know all that?
26:21You posted it on Neighborhood Hub.
26:24Most people use this forum to complain about each other,
26:26but Dottie uses it to be nice and help people.
26:29Okay, check this out.
26:30This post is from three weeks ago at 7.49 a.m.
26:35To the jerk who blocked me in my driveway and made Cassie late for school,
26:39next time you're getting towed.
26:40See that motorcycle?
26:41That's across from my house right before I left for work.
26:44Mm-hmm.
26:44This is two weeks ago at 12.02 p.m.
26:48Whoever keeps running over the flower beds on West 7th, stop.
26:52Community garden right next to my favorite coffee shop.
26:54Mm-hmm.
26:55And this last one, 5.55 p.m.
26:59Well, the guy who revs his motorcycle every evening, please stop.
27:02I just put the twins down.
27:05That's my neighbor Sam.
27:06Like you said, I get home around 6 p.m.
27:08And look at that motorcycle.
27:09Okay, all these posts showing the same motorcycle around your daily routine,
27:13this isn't a coincidence.
27:14Morgan's right.
27:15Someone's been following you.
27:16And if Dottie's attacker didn't know her,
27:18then maybe Luke's didn't know him either.
27:20But we haven't found anyone who had a reason to kill Luke and Dottie.
27:23Because we're not looking for one killer.
27:25We're looking for two.
27:26Someone wanted Luke dead.
27:28And someone wanted to kill me.
27:30And they swapped targets so nobody could connect them to their victims.
27:33Our killers made a murder pact.
27:38Everyone with a reason to kill Luke has a solid alibi.
27:41Same for anyone who might have wanted Dottie dead.
27:43But if Morgan's right, the killers made a deal that swapped victims.
27:46So the one after Dottie killed Luke,
27:48and the one after Luke went for Dottie but botched the job?
27:51Exactly.
27:51Now we've run Luke's rivals, clients he dropped.
27:54Any of them could have agreed to go after Dottie in a murder pact.
27:56But only one of them was at the spa when she was attacked.
27:59Vaz Imadi.
28:01The trainer who lost his star client to Luke.
28:03His digital signature at the spa check-in was illegible,
28:06but the staff was able to ID him from his photo.
28:08Please tell me we got more on this guy than jealousy in a spa day.
28:11I think you guys should see this.
28:13I was going over Vaz's D&B records.
28:16Now, that's his license plate number.
28:199Z9984.
28:20Now check this neighborhood hub post.
28:22See that motorcycle outside Dottie's?
28:23He can't make out all the numbers on the plates, but...
28:25It's a partial match, yeah.
28:26I can only think of one reason Vaz would have been following Dottie.
28:29We'll see if you can find us another.
28:36I checked the garage.
28:37No sign of Vaz's motorcycle.
28:38He left his door wide open.
28:40Looks like our boy ran.
28:41Judging from all these past due bills, Vaz was in debt.
28:44So Luke was cutting into his business more than he let on.
28:47Hmm.
28:48This strap matches the lickature marks around Dottie's throat.
28:51I bet Vaz used a strap like this to show him to Dottie,
28:53but when she fought back, he had to tighten his grip,
28:55which cut into his hand, causing the need for these ointments.
29:01Y'all like what I did there?
29:02I was channeling my inner Morgan.
29:04How'd I do?
29:05Not bad.
29:06But where is she?
29:07I'm in the bedroom!
29:10What is all this?
29:12Looks like Vaz was juicing.
29:14All that pressure training celebrities.
29:15Makes sense he might try to cut some corners.
29:17Or, this is all about recovery.
29:19If you're Vaz, your body is your brand.
29:21And if your livelihood is dependent on performance,
29:24you're gonna take every opportunity you can to bounce back faster.
29:27But I didn't see any recovery supplements in his kitchen.
29:30Vitamins, electrolytes, amino acids.
29:32He was getting it some other way.
29:34If we have these catheters tested,
29:36I bet they're gonna find traces of nutrients
29:37that he was getting through an IV drip.
29:40If Luke heard Vaz was getting recovery IVs,
29:42he probably did the same.
29:43And if the killer knew that,
29:44he could switch out Luke's IV filled with micronutrients.
29:46With a fatal dose of ibuprofen.
29:48We need to find who treated Vaz.
29:50If we're right, they could be the other half of our murder pact.
29:58Eric Hayworth.
30:00Does the name Roman Sinquera mean anything to you?
30:03Nope.
30:05Should it?
30:06You abducted him 16 years ago.
30:09I think I'd remember.
30:10Well, I suggest you think real hard about your next words.
30:13Unless you like the view from inside your cell.
30:19I'd rather take my chances with you
30:21and be locked up and flip on her.
30:26Who's her?
30:32I don't know.
30:34She doesn't have a name.
30:35Just the sound she leaves behind.
30:41Lady, you have no idea who you're dealing with.
30:46But I do.
30:48Which is why I'm not saying another word
30:50until you cook up some things that I'm gonna need to cooperate.
30:58What you got for me?
31:00We got the labs back.
31:01It's confirmed.
31:02Vaz's catheters contained IV recovery residue.
31:04Means Vaz's partner in the pack administered IVs and used one to kill Luke.
31:07But we know it couldn't have been an employee from the spa.
31:09So maybe our killer supplied IVs to the spa.
31:12That would give them access to the sensors as well.
31:14And then they used one to track Luke's vitals as they were slowly poisoning him.
31:17Yeah.
31:17Which means Kirk Harper wasn't being honest.
31:21Maybe Dottie should call a lawyer.
31:28Someone want to tell me why I'm here?
31:30You said no one on staff at my spa was involved in the attack, right?
31:33That's right.
31:34But someone you work with was.
31:35Where do you get your IV bags?
31:38IV bags?
31:40What do they have to do with anything?
31:41Quite a bit.
31:42Including whatever it is that you're hiding.
31:44I have nothing to hide.
31:45Then you won't mind giving us the name of your IV supplier.
31:48I wish I could.
31:50But any information about my suppliers is confidential.
31:54Is it?
31:55Well, you know what, Kirk?
31:57Speaking of information, IV bags typically have a lot of it on them.
32:00Product name, composition, volume, storage instructions.
32:04But your IV bags are blank, which makes me wonder.
32:07Is Kirk providing bootleg formulas at his spa?
32:10And if that's true, you're looking at fraud, health code violations,
32:14reckless endangerment.
32:15Should I keep going?
32:16I don't think you need to.
32:20Lately, business has been tough.
32:23I've been cutting costs, so...
32:25I use a black market supplier for the IVs.
32:28They give me a discount, I give them some of our sensors.
32:31We need a name.
32:34Phyllis Martell.
32:38Phyllis Martell worked at the trainer's gym, an ideal place to sell bootleg recovery IVs.
32:43Seems like Vaz has been her client for a while.
32:46How do you go from wellness sessions to a murder pact?
32:50Well, if I had to guess, based on Luke's post, he stole Vaz's big shot client about a month ago.
32:56Around the same time, Phyllis must have been upset with Dottie for some unknown reason.
33:00So they vented to each other about the people they hated, but over time, all that feeding off each other
33:04turned dark.
33:05One of them probably mentioned being better off with their enemies gone, and suddenly...
33:09A murder pact was born.
33:10But we still don't know why Phyllis wanted Dottie dead.
33:12No.
33:13But I know who to ask.
33:15Wow, I have not thought of Phyllis since so long.
33:19She was supposed to be my big sister in college, but it didn't exactly end up that way.
33:23Big sister as in a sorority?
33:25If I be the new, my mother and aunt saw what it led us.
33:29This wasn't a sorority about parties.
33:31It was about pride, discipline, striving for excellence in a world that didn't make room for women like us.
33:39But for Phyllis, I think it was more about exerting power and control.
33:44How bad was the hazing?
33:46Well, the physical and psychological abuse was so bad, one of our pledges had to go to the ER.
33:52So I turned in the chapter.
33:55Well, that couldn't have been easy.
33:57Eventually, I joined 5-8-A-N-U at another school, but I think Phyllis got suspended.
34:01I don't know what happened to her after that.
34:03I did.
34:04Phyllis was charged with a felony.
34:07She didn't do time, but with the conviction, we know second chances are even harder for us.
34:11She wanted to do law school.
34:13I guess that didn't happen.
34:15But this was all decades ago.
34:16Why would she try to have me killed now?
34:18Three weeks ago, a judge denied her request to have her felony record removed.
34:22This was just before she crashed your sorority alumni event where she heard you speak.
34:26So the judge turned her down.
34:27Then she saw me, the person she thinks ruined her life, and it pushed her over the edge.
34:32Exactly.
34:33Then a few days later, Vaz Amati, the man who attacked you in the spa, started following you.
34:37Because he agreed to kill me if Phyllis took out Luke Knight.
34:40Do we know where she is now?
34:41We located Phyllis' RV.
34:42Morgan's on the way, but I need to talk to you first.
34:44I'm going with you.
34:45Wait.
34:46Daph, I need to see this through.
35:02All clear.
35:03You can come in.
35:05According to the witness across the street, Phyllis parked her RV here a few hours ago.
35:09They didn't see where she went, but maybe something in here can point the way.
35:11So this is where she ended up, huh?
35:15Overdue statements, max credit cards, empty bank accounts.
35:18Are there any toiletries in that bathroom?
35:21No.
35:21And there's no luggage.
35:23She packed a bag.
35:24She's on the run.
35:25And she's armed.
35:26Q-tips, oil.
35:28She cleaned a weapon.
35:29She left, but clearly not in her RV.
35:34Nope.
35:35She took another bus.
35:36That stop goes to the main station.
35:38The only bus is leaving around this hour, Route 137 straight to Tijuana.
35:41I don't think she's going on vacation.
36:03Hey, drive.
36:05Go.
36:07LAPD.
36:08Everyone stay seated and remain calm.
36:11Oh, my God.
36:12She has a gun.
36:13Someone help us.
36:14Hey, hey.
36:14Quiet.
36:15Quiet.
36:15Phyllis Martell, keep your hands visible and walk to the front door.
36:20Tim.
36:22Phyllis, we can talk this out, but I need you to let everyone off the bus.
36:31They can go, but I'm not leaving.
36:34Go.
36:35Go.
36:35Go.
36:35Just go.
36:36Go.
36:37She's letting them out.
36:38Go.
36:38Clear them.
36:38Clear them.
36:39Keep it moving.
36:40Keep it moving.
36:40Go.
36:41Follow these officers.
36:42Go.
36:42Go.
36:43Go.
36:43This way, sir.
36:43This way.
36:44Go.
36:45She's not coming off that bus.
36:46Her hate for me runs too deep.
36:48I'm not going to be the one to get her off that bus.
36:50Daddy's right.
36:50Definitely needs to be here.
36:55Phyllis.
36:56I'm coming on.
37:02Phyllis, I'm coming in.
37:05Coming up the steps slowly.
37:09Are you by yourself?
37:10Yes.
37:11It's just me.
37:12No one else is coming on this bus, okay?
37:15My name is Detective Daphne Forrester.
37:18We both know that this can end quietly, but I need you to put your gun down.
37:23You don't know what I've lost.
37:24Maybe not.
37:26But I know what it's like to feel invisible.
37:31You've spent your whole life proving who you are to people who have already made up their minds.
37:36You don't owe them that anymore, Phyllis.
37:41Right now, you can decide who you are.
37:45Not them.
37:47I don't know if I can.
37:48Yes, you can.
37:51And it starts with putting that gun down and walking out of here on your own terms.
37:59A mistake doesn't define you.
38:17Come with me, man.
38:30Come with me, man.
38:37Hey, you wanted to see me?
38:39Yeah, close that.
38:43Hayward's willing to talk,
38:44but he wants full immunity in exchange for his cooperation.
38:47Are you considering?
38:48Arthur swears he's the one who took Roman, and I believe him.
38:52So far, all Hayward's given us is the name of his employer,
38:55a Willa Quinn.
38:58Who that is, how she fits in all this,
39:00he won't say yet.
39:02When are you going to tell Morgan?
39:04Good morning.
39:05How do you think she'll take?
39:07I don't know.
39:12I heard you made some arrests.
39:15We did.
39:16Loss won't be coming after you or anybody else.
39:18I'm glad Luke's family found closure, too.
39:21Thank you, Morgan.
39:23It's the least I can do to pay you back for all those nice things
39:25you said about me during my performance review, Dottie.
39:28I don't remember saying anything nice about you.
39:31Thanks for proving me right.
39:33You got it.
39:40You look good out there.
39:42Hmm.
39:42I had a decent teacher.
39:48I push you as hard as I do because you're a bright light that I saw dimming.
39:53People like you don't get to fade out.
39:56Not if I can help it.
39:57I know.
39:59And I won't.
40:02That's my girl.
40:03So throw me a line and I promise
40:07I'll hand you a broad job all day.
40:09Hey, Morgan.
40:10You got a second?
40:11Yeah, of course.
40:12So I talked to Ava.
40:14Yeah.
40:14I know.
40:15She told me.
40:15If it's okay with you, I want to talk to her again.
40:18There are some things I wasn't clear on at that time.
40:21Daphne, anything you want to say to my daughter?
40:24I trust you.
40:26It's okay.
40:27I'm sorry you burned if I'm honest.
40:31I took a wrong turn.
40:33I've had to re-
40:34Rachel, are you there?
40:48Hey.
40:49Hi.
40:51Thanks for coming.
40:52Are you kidding?
40:53I love it here.
40:54Okay, I used to come here all the time
40:56when I was a little girl.
40:57Really?
40:58Butterscotch, pecan, biscuits.
40:59Oh, yes.
40:59Okay.
41:00So you know.
41:01I know.
41:02Okay.
41:02Yes.
41:05So have you decided about the class?
41:08Mm-mm.
41:09Not yet.
41:09Okay.
41:10Next, I'll have some time.
41:12Yesterday, when I asked about what you wanted to do,
41:16I was deflecting.
41:19Because what I needed to tell you,
41:21I wasn't ready to hear for myself.
41:23We cannot control what others say or do.
41:27You don't have to change yourself for any of that.
41:30Decide who you are in this world, despite how it sees you.
41:34And do what makes you happy.
41:36Because your path isn't about proving anything to anyone.
41:40It's about choosing a life that's most true for you.
41:45Every single time.
