00:05Stop it, capital, H-O-T-T-O-G-O
00:09H-O-T-T-O-T-O
00:12You can take me hard to go
00:15H-O-T-T-O-T-O
00:19You can take me hard to go
00:23Hey, buddy.
01:00Updates on Willa Quinn.
01:01Still keeping a low profile since she landed in L.A.
01:04I checked with County.
01:05She tried to visit Eric Hayworth in jail two days ago.
01:07You were right to put her on the restricted visitors list.
01:09They turned her away.
01:10I'm sure she loved that.
01:12Let's put Hayworth in protective custody.
01:15You think she'd send an inmate after him?
01:17I don't know what that woman would do.
01:19Hayworth mentioned her in Roman Cinqueira's abduction.
01:21I'm sure she wants to silence him.
01:23Let's not give her a chance.
01:25What about our wiretap?
01:26Are we up yet?
01:27I put in the request, but the D.A.'s dragging their feet, as usual.
01:29I'll stay on them.
01:30Captain Wagner also pulled some strings
01:32and got a surveillance detail in her hotel.
01:34They're keeping track of who's coming and going.
01:36Nothing notable yet, but they'll keep it supposed to.
01:40Oh, in the meantime, duty calls.
01:42Bodies spotted on a building in Mid-City.
01:44You mean in a building?
01:46No.
01:46On.
01:47Multiple 911 calls about it dangling off the side.
01:51I'll text you the address and have Morgan meet you there.
02:01This building is...
02:03I don't know what this building is.
02:04Looks like somebody dropped some spaghetti on the blueprints
02:07and just kind of went with it.
02:08Hmm.
02:09Tyler Villanueva, 24.
02:11Extensive rap sheet.
02:12Hmm.
02:13Let me guess.
02:16Vandalism.
02:18Looks like he's been busy, huh?
02:19Yeah.
02:20Blood force trauma.
02:22Vic was hit with a hard cylindrical object before he fell.
02:24Not sure what yet.
02:25Been dead for a few hours, so killed early this morning.
02:28You said they found him hanging off the side of the building?
02:30Witnesses spotted him caught on an architectural feature there.
02:34Unis think he was two floors up when he was struck.
02:36Fell over a balcony.
02:37Poor guy.
02:39Ready to take a look?
02:48Set a cylindrical object to the head, right?
02:53Oh, I don't think spray cans are hard enough to cause that kind of damage.
02:56Wow.
02:57This is very...
02:58Disgusting.
03:00Hmm.
03:00No.
03:01I was gonna say cool, because it's art.
03:04Vandalism is not art, Morgan.
03:05It's a misdemeanor.
03:06And misdemeanors are not cool.
03:07Right.
03:08Yeah, no.
03:09Totally right.
03:09Mr. Minors are not cool.
03:12You never paid it over anything when you were a kid?
03:14Right.
03:15I forgot.
03:15You weren't a kid when you were a kid.
03:17It is hot in here, huh?
03:19No wonder Tyler tagged at night.
03:20Well, it's an abandoned building.
03:22That means no utilities.
03:23Can't just turn on the A.C.
03:28Hey, we got blood over here.
03:32Looks like the Vic was struck here.
03:34Fled as assailant.
03:36That way.
03:36Probably disoriented.
03:38Already losing blood.
03:39Hit the ledge and went over.
03:41Sound about right?
03:46This is the last piece Tyler was working on before he got killed.
03:49The colors match the paint on his hands.
03:52Defunct.
03:53Must be his tag grenade?
03:54Mm-hmm.
03:54Yeah, but check this out.
03:56This is not Tyler's.
03:58He was ragging somebody else's work before he got killed.
04:00What's ragging?
04:01Ragging, capping, painting over.
04:03Oh.
04:04Roman, huh?
04:05Mm-hmm.
04:05Yeah, the L.A. graffiti scene is how he got his start as a muralist.
04:08He said that taggers live by a code.
04:11Does that code mean some spray paint can get you killed?
04:15Well, if a tiger does some quick line work and somebody rags it,
04:19not a big deal.
04:21But if the artist did line work and started to add some shading
04:24and then somebody paints over it,
04:26not cool, but also not the end of the world.
04:30But painting over a completed piece that took time and skill,
04:36that's a problem.
04:37And that could get violent.
04:39Or in this case, deadly.
04:40Okay, well, I'll have forensics process this area
04:43and tell everybody else what we're thinking.
04:45Yeah, okay.
04:46I'll see you when you land.
04:48Morgan and Karadak are coming back from the crime scene.
04:50The victim was a tagger, went by the name defunct.
04:53Sadly prophetic.
04:54Yeah, they think the killer might be a rival artist.
04:57You got a name of the rival?
04:58Not yet, just some graffiti they left behind.
05:00The gang unit keeps a graffiti binder
05:02to track activity throughout the city.
05:03I'll put in a call.
05:05Hello, Selena.
05:10Catch you at a bad time.
05:19I wonder how long Soto's going to let her sweat in there.
05:21She look like she's sweating to you?
05:23We're going to figure out the connection between Will and Roman.
05:26We just don't have the answers yet.
05:27No, we certainly don't.
05:29So maybe we're asking the wrong questions.
05:30Uh, Morgan, whatever you're thinking about doing, don't.
05:33She's not under arrest.
05:34There's no reason I can't speak to her.
05:35I know that this is extremely frustrating,
05:37but you need to let Soto handle this.
05:40Any luck on the binders?
05:41Flagged a few that could be the tagger, but...
05:43But they're not.
05:44You sure?
05:45Yeah, I flipped through it.
05:46Tiger styles are very specific.
05:48Letter shape, spray speed.
05:50Our guy's not in there.
05:51We want to find that guy.
05:52We need someone connected to the graffiti scene.
05:54Taggers aren't known to help cops.
05:55I know someone who will.
05:56I already called her.
06:00I know.
06:00I know it's hard for you to take a back seat on this.
06:03Hayworth didn't pull her name out of nowhere.
06:04She knows what happened to Roman.
06:05You're right.
06:06And I have a plan.
06:07Trust me.
06:14I hope our interrogation room isn't too unpleasant.
06:17Our ballroom's being renovated.
06:19A room's a room.
06:20So.
06:22What brings you to L.A.?
06:24Well, after what you told me in New York,
06:26I had to come and clear my good name.
06:28Is that right?
06:29If Eric Hayworth is making accusations against me,
06:33I need to get to the bottom of it.
06:34I need to clear it up and put it to bed.
06:36Well, Mr. Hayworth is unavailable.
06:39Yeah.
06:40So I noticed.
06:43So I come with an offer.
06:46You told me that you had an old case, a missing person, um, Roman Sincera.
06:55Well, I have contacts, and I can help you.
06:59And then we both get what we want.
07:00You get Sincera, and I get to prove that I had nothing to do with whatever happened to him.
07:06See, I think that you're scared that we'll get to him first,
07:11and that you won't be able to make sure that he's gone forever.
07:15Trust me, Selena.
07:17You want me as a friend.
07:19I have enough friends.
07:22Including Eric Hayworth.
07:24He's there.
07:25He's been very cooperative.
07:29You remember that blackberry I found in Roman Sincera's backpack?
07:34I told you my texts were working on it.
07:36We pulled these messages off of it.
07:39There's some sort of code, so we can't really read them just yet.
07:43But the days and the times match the night that Roman disappeared.
07:48Like their instructions.
07:50See that?
07:53So I put a call into the DA.
07:55They're setting up a talk with me and my new friend, Eric Hayworth.
08:00I'm pretty sure he'll help us read them.
08:05Wow.
08:09Now I'm invested.
08:13So do tell me how that all goes for you.
08:15And if you change your mind about working together, let me know.
08:20Offer still stands.
08:25I am free to leave, right?
08:27This time.
08:30What's she doing?
08:31Wait.
08:31She's just gonna let her go?
08:33Hey!
08:33Hey!
08:34We are not done here.
08:35Morgan, calm down.
08:36Don't tell me to calm down, okay?
08:39Morgan!
08:39Let go of me!
08:40Morgan!
08:40This is your plan?
08:41As a matter of fact, yes.
08:43I needed to see her face and now I'm sure.
08:46Willaquin is scared.
08:48And with Hayworth's help, we're about to find out why.
08:56Make anything of them?
08:58No.
08:59Well, Soda will get it out of Hayworth when she talks to him.
09:03Hey.
09:04We're close.
09:07Mmm.
09:08Mmm.
09:09It's a fancy restaurant.
09:10That's Lucia's favorite.
09:12We're celebrating.
09:13She put in an offer on a house in Lafayette Park and a seller just accepted it.
09:18Wow.
09:18That's a good school district.
09:20Think she'd mind if my family moved in?
09:22Unless she's already planning on maybe having a roommate one day.
09:26Well, we talked about it.
09:28What?
09:30Okay.
09:31You guys have been back together for like five minutes.
09:34Isn't that kind of rushing things a little bit?
09:36Well, I said we talked about it.
09:37That's it.
09:37But if that changes, you'll be the first to know.
09:39I don't need to be the first to know.
09:41You might want to notify your utility companies.
09:45Nicole.
09:47Hi.
09:50Morgan.
09:50It's so good to see you.
09:52God, it has been forever.
09:54Last time I saw you, you were pregnant with your daughter.
09:56Ava, she's 16 now.
09:5816?
09:58It doesn't seem possible.
09:59Tell me about it.
10:00And you know what else?
10:02She's an artist as well.
10:03Like her dad.
10:05Yeah.
10:06Like her dad.
10:07Nicole Heisler.
10:08This is Detective Adam Karadek.
10:10Nice to meet you.
10:11Nice to meet you.
10:11Nicole is a professor of urban art, but when I met her, she went by the name Michelangelo.
10:17I was hoping you'd forgotten that.
10:19It's a tough one to forget.
10:21Thank you for coming in.
10:22We wanted to see if you could help us identify a tagger.
10:25This is what our victim was working on when he was killed.
10:30Wait, defunct is dead?
10:31You knew him?
10:32I knew his work.
10:34He was an up-and-comer in this scene.
10:36The piece we're actually interested in is the one that he was painting over.
10:39Do you recognize that style?
10:42Um, well, you see the flares and the drip marks along the side?
10:49They're as unique as a signature.
10:51Yeah.
10:53Cyclops.
10:53Half of these are Cyclops.
10:58And if I am remembering right, he and the funk had beef, ragged over each other's work before.
11:05Do you know Cyclops' real name?
11:07Sorry, I don't.
11:08Well, if these are all Cyclopses, I know where he works.
11:12His paint cans are all from the same store.
11:14Well, how do you know the guy worked there and wasn't just a customer?
11:17Well, anyone on a budget knows that dented food cans get restocked and resold at a discount.
11:22Same goes for dented spray paint cans, unless the dent is along the seam, because then they could explode.
11:27These are safe because they're empty, but these cans really should have gone back to the wholesaler.
11:31So Cyclops didn't buy them from the store.
11:33He intercepted them, because he worked there.
11:38What?
11:39Nothing.
11:40It's just, I'm surprised.
11:42You working with the police?
11:44You seem happy.
11:46I like it.
11:48Well, you know.
11:49Free coffee.
11:52Free coffee.
12:08Hey, order yourself something.
12:11Nah, I'm good.
12:12I see the cigars and bacon haven't killed you yet.
12:15Which one do you think will get me first?
12:17Look, Dad, I got a job to get back to, and you don't summon me unless you need something.
12:21So, what's up?
12:24I've asked the city council to launch a panel to look into corruption.
12:28You?
12:30That's rich.
12:31I'm considering a run for Senate, so I'll be the face of it.
12:34Plays well with the voters.
12:35Yeah, that makes more sense.
12:37I've heard about this Morgan Guillory.
12:41Consultant of yours, right?
12:42I think she'd be perfect for it.
12:44Full benefits, opportunity for advancement.
12:47I'm sure we can pair her a little bit more than what LAPD's given her.
12:50Wait, wait a second.
12:51You want to offer her a job?
12:52Yeah.
12:53She's smart.
12:54Problem solver.
12:55Won't take no for an answer.
12:56Perfect.
12:57And you know a hundred people who fit that description.
12:59Why are you looking at someone from my squad?
13:02I touch a nerve there, Nicky?
13:04Come on, son.
13:06You and I both know that she's special.
13:08And I also know that she's not going to want to work with you.
13:11Well, how about we let her decide that?
13:14Present her with the opportunity.
13:17Are you asking me to do this, or are you telling me?
13:20Here, big boy.
13:21I'm sure you'll do what's best for everyone.
13:37Oh, wow.
13:39Ah, that's just, wow.
13:41I had to wear a Hawaiian shirt and jorts the summer I worked at Knott's Berry Farm.
13:46This is much worse.
13:48Can I see a picture?
13:48No.
13:49Got it.
13:50Excuse me.
13:51Hey, we're looking for someone that works here.
13:53It goes by the name, uh, Cyclops.
13:54Do you know him?
14:03How's he moving so fast in that stupid costume?
14:07Stop!
14:16You got about two feet of foam sticking out from behind that dumpster, genius.
14:20Come on out.
14:22Damn it.
14:23I didn't do anything.
14:25Yeah?
14:25Well, tell that to Tyler Villanueva.
14:27Who?
14:28Defunct.
14:28He was killed this morning.
14:30Someone killed defunct?
14:32Yo, I didn't have anything to do with that.
14:33Really?
14:34Your rival just so happened to get murdered while he was painting over your work?
14:37Yeah, we were rivals, but we called a truce.
14:39We were working a job together.
14:40What kind of job?
14:41That weird building.
14:42In case.
14:43We were being paid to tag it.
14:53These pictures make you pretty upset, huh, Anton?
14:55How would you feel if someone drew on one of your parking tickets?
14:58Or whatever you cops care about.
14:59Well, I can tell you we wouldn't kill anyone for it.
15:01I didn't kill the guy.
15:02Like I said, me and defunct had a truce because we were both hired to tag that building.
15:06Okay, so who hired you?
15:08I don't know.
15:09Someone.
15:10I didn't get a name.
15:11I never met the guy.
15:12Nothing.
15:13We're going to need more than that.
15:15Why do you smell like an ashtray?
15:16Oh, sorry.
15:17I had lunch with the command.
15:19And an ashtray?
15:19I got nothing for you.
15:21You took a job from an anonymous client to tag a building.
15:24Guys like me and defunct throw our work on online forums.
15:27A couple months back, I saw a post offering to pay taggers to cover in case.
15:31Wait.
15:31Someone posted a criminal one ad.
15:33I thought it might be the cops.
15:35But it said the building was abandoned, there'd be no security, and they're paying crypto to keep both sides anonymous.
15:40So, I DM back.
15:42Seems like a pretty big risk.
15:43In case you forgot, I work as a dancing hammer.
15:46I needed the cash.
15:48Turns out the gig was legit.
15:49I got paid.
15:49And as far as I knew, me and defunct were good.
15:51You mind telling us where you were between 5 and 7 this morning?
15:55At my girlfriend's?
15:57And your Belinda.
15:58Two hours away.
15:59Oh, and your girlfriend would never lie for you.
16:01She might.
16:02But I'm guessing your boys at Highway Patrol wouldn't.
16:05Yeah, they pulled me over leaving there on my way to work.
16:07Ask them.
16:10I never thought the cops would get me out of trouble.
16:13Why would someone pay people to tag that one building?
16:15Try to cover up as much of it as possible?
16:17Well, it doesn't look like the owners are going to be any help.
16:19It says here they're a Hong Kong consortium.
16:21It ran out of money three years ago and haven't been heard from since.
16:24A consortium of them.
16:27What are you looking for?
16:28The architect.
16:29It takes a lot of time and planning to design a building like that.
16:32They can't have been thrilled at the new paint job.
16:35Does this job ever get to you?
16:36What do you mean?
16:37Working on major crimes, dealing with murder all day.
16:39Yeah, I mean, it doesn't help that I can remember absolutely everything, but I like it.
16:44Why?
16:44Trying to fire me again?
16:45Oh, maybe the opposite.
16:47City council started an anti-corruption panel and your name came up.
16:51Clearly they haven't seen me help myself in the bulk foods aisle.
16:55You've been an asset here, but it sounds like a great opportunity.
16:58Well, thank you very much, but I'm not looking for an opportunity.
17:01Well, you should think about it.
17:01It's a 95.
17:02Okay, why are you trying to push this job on me?
17:04You want to get rid of me?
17:06Of course not.
17:07Counsel just asked me to pass along the offer.
17:09Okay, great.
17:10You did it.
17:10You passed it along.
17:11Can we get back to the job that I like doing?
17:14Okay, Gerald Lee.
17:16In case it's the culmination of years of work, blah, blah, blah, blah.
17:20An inseparable part of my soul.
17:22Ew, come on.
17:22Well, if anybody has thoughts on that graffiti, it could be him.
17:31Thanks for coming in, Mr. Lee.
17:33We assume you heard about what happened at the in-case building.
17:35Yeah, it's awful.
17:38I feel so guilty.
17:39Yeah.
17:40The way I first reacted.
17:42Why?
17:42How'd she react?
17:43My first thought wasn't about the man who was killed.
17:45I worried what would happen to my building.
17:49Makes sense.
17:49You poured a tremendous amount of time and energy into it.
17:52There's nothing like it in the world.
17:53The beams on the outside make the support structure part of the design.
17:57That's why I named it in-case.
17:59Did you know the taggers were hired to deface the building?
18:02You're kidding.
18:03You didn't know.
18:04Who would pay someone to do that?
18:06That's what we were hoping you could tell us.
18:07I had no idea.
18:09I mean, the building has its critics.
18:11Some people didn't get it.
18:12Really?
18:12But if all that graffiti was some kind of critique, joke's on them.
18:17Why's that?
18:19In case it's finally going to get finished.
18:21Until a few weeks ago, the only people interested were developers who wanted to tear it down for the land.
18:26That couldn't have felt good.
18:27You're right.
18:28It didn't.
18:29But all that graffiti tanked the value.
18:31Someone swooped in and bought it in a private sale.
18:34Private sale.
18:35That means the name of the buyer isn't public.
18:37Any chance you know it?
18:39I can try and do some digging.
18:41Yeah?
18:42Or you could just tell us.
18:44See, I think you know who the buyers are.
18:45You just don't want us to know because they're about to finish your building.
18:48We read about how important this building is for your career, Mr. Lee.
18:52But if that buyer had something to do with Tyler Villanueva's murder and you protect them, that's accessory.
18:58So, unless you want to read about your grand opening from prison, you might want to think about coming up
19:02with that name.
19:09Mrs. Latmore.
19:10I'm Detective Karadek.
19:11Finally.
19:12And this is...
19:13Brad, the police are here!
19:14You're here about the graffiti?
19:16Um, actually, yes.
19:33Subtle.
20:02My husband called a few days ago when it happened.
20:04Definitely a yes.
20:05And you and DeFunk got into a dispute over the money.
20:07Yeah, one sec.
20:08Your husband hasn't been telling you the truth.
20:09And the reason the police never showed up is because he didn't call him.
20:12Go ahead.
20:12What happened?
20:13DeFunk tried to shake you down for extra, so you killed him?
20:15I...
20:16I didn't kill anyone.
20:18Rabner Hughes wanted to end case, and if I didn't deliver, I was out.
20:21But the owner wouldn't budge on the price.
20:22So you hired the taggers hoping their graffiti would drive the price down.
20:25Okay.
20:26And did Rabner Hughes pay for that?
20:27No, I got the money out of our...
20:31girl's college fund.
20:32What?
20:33Oh, my.
20:34So, if you paid him, what's with the garage door?
20:36Well, the plan worked faster than expected, and I tried to...
20:40pro-rate.
20:41Then he came by the house, and I paid him out.
20:42You can see both transfers.
20:45Ma'am?
20:48Second payments before DeFunk was killed.
20:50Brad had no motive.
20:51Any idea how he found your house?
20:52Eh, a guy can answer that.
20:54You sent him a screenshot of your bank balance.
20:56Did he want to make sure you had the money?
20:58Yeah.
20:59You had your location turned on.
21:00Just let him write to you.
21:02My mother was right.
21:03Sandy.
21:04Get in the house, Brad.
21:10Starting to feel like DeFunk wasn't killed over anything to do with the tagging.
21:13We should head back to the building.
21:14Maybe he walked in on something else.
21:23Okay.
21:23So, DeFunk's ragged Cyclops in there got bashed right around here.
21:32What did he see?
21:33It's still so hot in here.
21:34My pits are blasting.
21:39Uh, Karadak?
21:43That wasn't here before.
21:52I think I see a propane torch.
21:57And multiple propane tanks.
21:59I've got to shut it off.
22:04Karadak, wait, stop, stop!
22:05There's gasoline in that glove.
22:06The whole place is going to blow up.
22:07The glove?
22:08Yes.
22:10Gasoline dissolves latex.
22:12That glove is basically just a slow fuse.
22:14And when it finally eats through...
22:18Morgan, get out of here.
22:19Well, what are you doing?
22:20Hey, there's still time to turn it off.
22:22I'm right behind you.
22:24Go.
22:26Uh...
22:40Come on.
22:44Come on.
23:04Oh, God, there you are.
23:06Are you crazy?
23:07You're right.
23:07I have to call this set.
23:09Are you okay?
23:09Are you okay?
23:10No.
23:11Oh, my God.
23:13Yeah, I...
23:13Oh, no, no, no, no.
23:14I'm okay.
23:14I'm okay.
23:15Oh, my God.
23:17I got you.
23:17Oh, I got you.
23:19Oh, no, no.
23:23Officer Dan.
23:39Morgan.
23:41I'll give you one more guess.
23:42Lucia, I...
23:44Ow.
23:45Easy, easy, Adam.
23:47I didn't mean...
23:48I know you didn't.
23:50You look incredible.
23:54Dinner.
23:55Lucia, I'm so sorry.
23:57No, no, no.
23:58There's no reason to be sorry.
23:59You're okay.
24:01That is all that matters.
24:02Oh, can you at least put some avocado on it?
24:05No apple juice.
24:06Throw that right in the trash.
24:06He needs some protein.
24:07Bring him avocado toast and just all the meats you have, okay?
24:10He's a big meat guy.
24:12Oh, sorry to interrupt.
24:14Lucia.
24:15Uh, hi.
24:16You look hot.
24:18You don't.
24:20You look bad.
24:21You almost got your head blown off, you moron.
24:24I'm glad you're okay.
24:26Thanks.
24:29What?
24:29What is this?
24:30It's a gallbladder.
24:31I don't know, a hospital gift shop.
24:32It was that or a uterus.
24:33Right choice.
24:37Is this...
24:38Chocolate chip cookie with all the chocolate chips picked out.
24:40And yes, I washed my hands thoroughly before I jumped in there.
24:44Why not just a sugar cookie?
24:46It's not the same thing.
24:50Is anyone else hurt in the explosion?
24:52Just a little cracked concrete on one side.
24:54So the building's still standing?
24:55Mm-hmm.
24:56Thanks to us, we got there and called it in on time.
24:59Were they able to...
25:00Oh.
25:01Okay.
25:02Let's go get some sleep, okay?
25:04Uh-huh.
25:04All right.
25:17Here.
25:18Oh.
25:19Thanks.
25:20Yeah.
25:23You okay?
25:25Yeah.
25:26I'm fine.
25:28It's just...
25:30Dating a cop, you know this kind of thing can happen,
25:33but you're never ready for it.
25:35Yeah.
25:37Before I got the call, I was, um...
25:41Sitting in the restaurant.
25:43Alone.
25:44And, uh...
25:45I had this flashback.
25:47What it was like before...
25:50Adam getting wrapped up in a case and...
25:54Forgetting our plans.
25:56Forgetting about me.
25:58But that didn't happen.
26:00No.
26:00He is different now, and I...
26:03I think you had something to do with that change.
26:06Well, just after a whole day with me, he's ready to go home.
26:13It's just so hard to see him like this.
26:16You know, he is the careful one.
26:18I'm the more leap-before-you-look type.
26:20Same.
26:22You know, last year I was in the ER.
26:23Really?
26:24Mm-hmm.
26:24I took a shortcut through the park and slammed my bike into a statue of George Washington
26:30and took a hoof to the elbow.
26:32Oh.
26:33See that?
26:33Hoof elbow.
26:34Mm-hmm.
26:34Worst.
26:35Awful.
26:38I'm gonna check on Adam.
26:42Thanks for being there for him, Morgan.
26:44You're a really good friend.
27:00Yep.
27:03How's he doing?
27:04You're gonna keep him a couple days for observation, but he's gonna be just fine.
27:08So things have gone from a little graffiti to someone trying to burn down the whole building.
27:12They sure did.
27:13And it's looking like the killer and the arsonist are the same guy.
27:16Emmy thinks one of those propane tanks is the murder weapon.
27:19Shape of the cylinder matches Defunct's head wound.
27:21So the arsonist and Defunct run into each other.
27:23Mm-hmm.
27:24The first time this guy tried to set the fire, Defunct saw him.
27:28So the arsonist killed him.
27:34Problem was, Defunct ended up dangling off the side of a building.
27:37So the killer left and then came back later.
27:39Forensics is still trying to lift prints and DNA off what's left of the tanks, but it's
27:43gonna take time.
27:43So who would want to take it down?
27:45Uh, anybody with eyeballs.
27:47Very ugly building.
27:48But we were wondering the same thing.
27:49We talked to Gerald Lee, the architect.
27:51He talked about that building like it was his baby.
27:53Unlikely he would want to destroy it.
27:55Same with Ravner Hughes Industries.
27:56I mean, they bought it to fill it with tenants.
27:58Still wouldn't hurt to ask Lee or Brad Lapmore to see what their thoughts are on the subject.
28:04It's Wagner.
28:05He is checking on Karadek and seeing if he can help out with the case.
28:08Give it a thumbs down.
28:09Take him up on it.
28:10Bring him along on the re-question of Lapmore.
28:12And you two, go talk to the architect.
28:15Sure.
28:15But only because Soto is making me say, sure.
28:21Send.
28:30You know, that job you mentioned, if the offer still stands, I think I'm interested.
28:35Really?
28:36Yeah.
28:36Better hours, better pay, less murder.
28:39Like you said, I should at least consider it, right?
28:44No, you shouldn't.
28:46Why not?
28:47Because you'd be working for my father.
28:49He's spearheading the panel, and the only reason why he wants you is because he wants to use you to
28:54make him look good.
28:57I'm sorry, Morgan.
28:59Obviously, this is your decision to make, but you shouldn't be making one without all the facts.
29:04And I apologize.
29:06I should have been up front from the start.
29:08Yeah, you really should have.
29:11If, then I wouldn't have had to figure it out for myself, which I did.
29:15Of course you did.
29:16You mentioned city council.
29:17Your dad's on it.
29:18It wasn't exactly a Christopher Nolan movie.
29:22So you're not interested in the job?
29:24No.
29:25Just wanted to see if you'd be honest with me.
29:30Took me a little longer than it should have.
29:32But you got there.
29:37This panel's important to your dad, right?
29:38How's he going to feel about me turning him down?
29:42Honestly, Morgan, I couldn't care less.
29:51You again.
29:53You're new.
29:54Brad Latmore.
29:55Captain Wagner.
29:56My wife took the kids.
29:58They're staying with their mom.
29:59So thanks for that.
30:00Thank me?
30:01Okay, all the stupid things you did, that's my fault?
30:03What are you, one of my kids?
30:05Mind if we take this inside?
30:06Yeah.
30:13We wanted a buy-in case, not level it.
30:16The whole neighborhood's coming up because they're putting in a new rail line.
30:19Rents are going to go through the roof.
30:20Any idea who would want to burn it?
30:22We found evidence of an arson attempt inside.
30:25Really?
30:26Maybe we should have waited to pull the trigger.
30:27The price would be lower now.
30:29I'm joking.
30:31Hilarious.
30:31Hey, you know your model's wrong.
30:33It doesn't match the real thing.
30:34It's rotated 90 degrees.
30:36Oh, yeah.
30:36I think the original client's asked for that change in the last minute.
30:41Beams on the outside make the support structure part of the design.
30:46That's why I named it a case.
30:48It is hot in here, huh?
30:50No wonder Tyler tagged a knife.
30:53Have you ever been inside the building, Brad?
30:56Uh-uh.
30:57Tell you what, it's real hot in there.
31:00Hey, you're going to break it.
31:01No, I probably won't.
31:02But even if I did, Sandy's going to get it.
31:04Right?
31:05The way it is positioned now, the side that gets the most sun has a ton of concrete.
31:10But the way you've got it, the side that would get the most sun doesn't have that much concrete.
31:15It's all glass and noodles or whatever that's supposed to be.
31:18That building's not supposed to get hot.
31:21Part of the design is it's supposed to stay cool.
31:24That could be a problem.
31:25What kind of problem?
31:26Well, I'm not an expert, but that could cause the whole structure to come down.
31:30Well, that sounds bad.
31:39Just a quick update on the case, please.
31:41Shouldn't you be resting?
31:42I can rest and listen.
31:44Where is Lucia?
31:45She stepped up.
31:47Could you send her on a pointless errand so you could call us?
31:50I sent her to get me some water.
31:52Hydration is not pointless.
31:53Mm-hmm.
31:53Can we get to the case, please?
31:55You mean before she comes back and catches you on the phone?
31:56Yeah, you got it.
31:57We're thinking that whoever rigged that fire did it to hide the fact that the building was about to fall
32:02down.
32:03It's going to come down?
32:04Morgan and the captain got the building plans from that exec you saw, Brad Latmore.
32:08We had the plans examined by experts.
32:09You remember when we felt like it was really hot in there?
32:11It was right before the building exploded and you almost got yourself killed like an idiot?
32:15Yes, Morgan.
32:16My memory is intact.
32:18It gets crabby when it doesn't get enough exercise.
32:20I am begging you to go on.
32:22Well, it turns out the original clients decided to rotate the building at the last second.
32:26They wanted the boss's office to face the mountains.
32:29Problem is, they rushed the plans through.
32:30So now, the side of the building with the most concrete got the most sun, which made the building get
32:35too hot.
32:35And that's not good.
32:37Like any high-rise here in L.A., in case has earthquake shock absorbers at its base.
32:41They're called seismic isolators.
32:44But according to the experts we talked to, those shock absorbers get too hot.
32:48They lose their flexibility and they don't work.
32:52The way it is now, any earthquake above a five, and that building's coming down.
32:55And now that we know this, we realize the fire that you guys found was specifically set up to damage
33:00the concrete on that side of the building.
33:02Almost as if somebody wanted to be able to redesign one side of the building without anybody asking why.
33:07The architect.
33:09Lee.
33:10Exactly.
33:13He must have bumped into defunct while setting the fire.
33:16And he knew he couldn't leave a witness.
33:20His whole career is hanging on the success of the case.
33:23This lets him fix the mistake, save the building, and avoid a scandal.
33:26We've been trying to reach Lee since yesterday.
33:28Send Unis to his house, his office.
33:31He's in the wind.
33:32Oh, hey, I gotta go.
33:33Bye.
33:35You were trying to sneak in a call.
33:37He was.
33:37So busted.
33:39You said before these new buyers, it looked like the building was gonna be torn down?
33:43Yeah, that must be why Lee felt the need to set the fire.
33:46I mean, before that, his problem was gonna take care of itself.
33:48And the debris around the blowtorch included spray cans, right?
33:52You think he's trying to make the fire look like the Tigers caused it?
33:54Yeah, absolutely.
33:55Those blowtorches are the same ones the Tigers use.
33:57They help quick-dry the paint and control where the drips go.
34:00We're guessing he checked back to see if the fire worked.
34:02And once he realized we got there in time to prevent more damage, he fled.
34:05We've notified all the travel authorities, flagged his passport, car, credit cards, bank accounts.
34:10The last purchase he made before we stopped it was a sleeping bag and a lantern.
34:15But no food rations?
34:17Hmm.
34:18Go check out his house, his office, see if you can find any clues to where he'd hide.
34:29Do you really think you can lay up there and pretend I didn't just see you get off the phone
34:33with work?
34:33I know you better than that.
34:37And I know you better than the thing I could fool you.
34:39Mm-hmm.
34:40But I still might be able to surprise you.
34:43Dr. Freelander, to emergency staff.
34:45Dr. Freelander, to emergency staff.
34:50I think I owe you a date.
34:53Is this Arlo's?
34:54Mm.
34:55How did you get Arlo's?
34:57I had it delivered.
34:59The nurses helped me set it up.
35:01Oh, also, the best vintage I could find.
35:05Oh, this is exquisite.
35:08Is it Napa?
35:10Cafeteria.
35:11Oh.
35:14Cheers.
35:26I love you, Lucia.
35:33I love you, too, Adam.
35:55I wonder what his dating profile interests are.
35:57Himself?
35:59Laptop needs a password.
36:01I'll get it to TID, see if I can crack it.
36:12What you got there?
36:14I think this is what Encase is made of.
36:16It's called bendable concrete.
36:19And it's not the first time Lee's used it.
36:23Is that important?
36:25Uh, yeah.
36:26Because I think it just helped me figure out where he's hiding.
36:43He really loves an ugly gray wall.
36:46I think he's going to find prison aesthetically pleasing.
36:50How did that brick tell you where he'd be?
36:52Oh, it's not a brick.
36:54It's a miniature.
36:55This guy kept every single sketch he ever made and every article that was ever written about him.
37:01Which?
37:02I mean, okay.
37:03But one of the articles was about how he had planned for years to build Encase, ever since the first
37:09time he worked with bendable concrete when he was hired by a client to build an underground bunker.
37:16The sleeping bag and the lantern.
37:18Yes, that explains why he didn't have to stock up on food.
37:20He knew the bunker would be completely empty except for a big food supply.
37:23But how did this thing tell you it was a bunker?
37:26Well, when we were searching Lee's office, I noticed a detail on the miniature.
37:29See the rectangle on the top?
37:31It's a door.
37:34Nicole!
37:35Nicole!
37:35Hi!
37:36Hi.
37:37Uh, Nicole Heisler.
37:38This is my boss, Lieutenant Soto.
37:39I heard you were helpful on the case.
37:41I was glad I could do something.
37:43I got your message that you caught defunct killer.
37:47I've been talking to Tagus who knew him.
37:49They wanted me to say thanks.
37:51That's nice.
37:52You didn't have to come all the way down here to do that, though.
37:55No.
37:55I also wanted to give you something.
37:58Really, it's for Ava.
38:00Roman helped get me out of the life.
38:03He gave me that.
38:05Wanted me to see the difference a female artist could make.
38:08I thought it might inspire his daughter, too.
38:13She's really going to love this.
38:16You know, she also might really love to talk to you sometime if you want to try not to let
38:2016 more years go by before we bump into each other.
38:24Call me anytime.
38:26I will.
38:36Oh, wait.
38:36No, no.
38:37You know you can't keep it, right?
38:38I'm not going to keep it.
38:38I'm just going to borrow it.
38:39Well...
38:40I'm just going to swing by the hospital and fill Karadek in.
38:43Hey.
38:44Good night.
38:45Good night.
38:56Miss Quinn.
38:58You still in L.A.?
39:00Yes.
39:01And I thought I'd share some news.
39:03I heard that the FBI took Eric Hayworth into federal custody.
39:09Really?
39:11Nobody told me.
39:12Yeah, I just...
39:13I just found out myself.
39:15Apparently, they got a tip that he had information on an old murder.
39:20FBI agent, Lila Flynn.
39:22In other words, you had Hayworth move somewhere.
39:24I can't get to him, but you can.
39:26Oh, I'm sorry, dear.
39:28I have to go.
39:28I'm just walking into a meeting, but I'm sure we'll speak soon.
39:32Bye.
39:35Looks like I'm on my knees again.
39:43Feels like the walls of the walls in the air.
39:51Looks like I'm on my knees again.
39:56Hey, now.
39:57That is a 30-year-old whiskey.
40:03I guess I should know better than expect you to ask politely.
40:07You should.
40:13And you're right.
40:13It is a 30-year-old.
40:16The owner of the club is a client.
40:18I bought him the bottle.
40:24So, any word from the prodigal son?
40:26Yes.
40:27Nick is not sidelining Morgan Guillory.
40:31The time being, she's staying at Major Crimes.
40:34So, there.
40:35Done your errand, and I'm out.
40:37Whatever you're doing, you have to find another way.
40:43Well, do I need to remind you that we're in this together?
40:49You know, I know where all your bodies are buried.
40:52If I go down, you're coming with me.
40:56And you are right.
40:59We are going to have to figure out another way.
41:13Catch an all-new explosive episode of R.J. Decker next on ABC.
41:19It's a professional hit, private vaults.
