01:06she tried to visit eric hayworth in jail two days ago you were right to put her on the restricted
01:11visitors list they turned her away i'm sure she loved that let's put hayworth in protective custody
01:16you think she'd send an inmate after him i don't know what that woman would do hayworth mentioned
01:21her and roman sinquera's abduction i'm sure she wants to silence him let's not give her a chance
01:26what about our wiretap are we up yet i put in the request with the da's dragging their feet as
01:31usual
01:31i'll stay on captain wagner also pulled some strings and got a surveillance detail in her hotel
01:36they're keeping track of who's coming and going nothing notable yet but they'll keep it posted
01:41oh in the meantime duty calls body spotted on a building in mid city you mean in a building no
01:48on multiple 911 calls about it dangling off the side i'll text you the address and have morgan meet
02:03this building is i don't know what this building is looks like somebody dropped some spaghetti on the
02:08blueprints and just kind of went with it hmm tyler villanueva 24 extensive rap sheet
02:14hmm let me guess vandalism looks like he's been busy huh yeah blood force trauma vic was hit with a
02:24hard
02:24cylindrical object before he fell not sure what yet been dead for a few hours so killed early this
02:29morning you said they found him hanging off the side of the building witnesses spotted him caught on
02:33an architectural feature there the unis think he was two floors up when he was struck fell over a
02:38balcony poor guy ready to take a look
02:50set a cylindrical object to the head right
02:55i don't think spray cans are hard enough to cause that kind of damage
02:58wow this is very disgusting
03:02no i was gonna say cool because it's art vandalism is not art morgan it's a misdemeanor and misdemeanors
03:08are not cool right yeah no totally right misdemeanors are not cool you never paid it over anything when
03:15you were a kid right i forgot you weren't a kid when you were a kid and it is hot
03:20in here huh no wonder
03:21tyler tagged at night well it's an abandoned building that means no utilities can't just turn on the ac
03:29yeah we got blood over here
03:34looks like the vic was struck here fled his assailant that way probably disoriented already
03:40losing blood hit the ledge and went over sound about right
03:48this is the last piece tyler was working on before he got killed the colors match the paint on his
03:52hands
03:54defunct must be his tagger name yeah but check this out this is not tyler's he was ragging somebody
04:01else's work before he got killed what's ragging ragging capping painting over oh roman huh yeah the
04:08la graffiti scene is how he got his start as a muralist he said that taggers live by a code
04:13does that
04:14code mean some spray paint can get you killed well if a tagger does some quick line work and somebody
04:20rags it not a big deal but if the artist did line work and started to add some shading and
04:26then
04:26somebody paints over it not cool but also not the end of the world but painting over a completed piece
04:34that took time and skill that's a problem and that could get violent or in this case deadly okay well
04:43i'll have forensics process this area and tell everybody else what we're thinking
04:47yeah okay i'll see you when you land morgan and karadak are coming back from the crime scene
04:52the victim was a tagger went by the name defunct sadly prophetic yeah and they think the killer might
04:58be a rival artist you got a name of the rival not yet just some graffiti they left behind the
05:02gang
05:02unit keeps a graffiti binder to track activity throughout the city i'll put in a call hello selena
05:12catch her at a bad time
05:22i wonder how long soto's gonna let her sweat in there she look like she's sweating to you
05:27we're gonna figure out the connection between will and roman we just don't have the answers yet no we
05:31certainly don't so maybe we're asking the wrong questions uh morgan whatever you're thinking about
05:36doing don't she's not under arrest there's no reason i can't speak to her i know that this is
05:40extremely frustrating but you need to let soto handle this any luck on the binders flagged a few
05:46that could be the tagger but they're not you sure yeah i flipped through it tagger styles are very
05:51specific letter shape spray speed our guy's not in there you want to find that guy we need someone
05:56connected to the graffiti scene taggers aren't known to help cops i know someone who will i already called her
06:04i know i know it's hard for you to take a back seat on this hayworth didn't pull her name
06:08out of
06:08nowhere she knows what happened to roman you're right and i have a plan trust me
06:19i hope our interrogation room isn't too unpleasant our ballroom's being renovated a room's a room so

07:35you remember that blackberry i found in roman sinchera's backpack i told you my texts were working
07:41on it we pulled these messages off of it they're in some sort of code so we can't really read
07:48them

09:16it's a fancy restaurant that's lucia's favorite we're celebrating she put in an offer on a house
09:21in lafayette park and the seller just accepted it wow that's a good school district i think she'd mind
09:28if my family moved in unless she's already planning on maybe having a roommate one day well we talked
09:34about it what okay you guys have been back together for like five minutes isn't that kind
09:42of rushing things a little bit i said we talked about it that's it but that changes you'll be the
09:46first to know i don't need to be the first to know you might want to notify your utility companies
09:55nicole hi
09:58it's so good to see you god it has been forever last time i saw you you were pregnant with
10:03your
10:03daughter ava she's 16 now 16 it doesn't seem possible yeah tell me about it and you know what
10:09else she's an artist as well like her dad yeah like her dad uh nicole heisler this is detective adam
10:18karadek nice to meet you nice to meet you nicole is a professor of urban art but when i met
10:23her she went
10:24by the name michelangelo i was hoping you'd forgotten that it's a tough one to forget
10:30thank you for coming in we wanted to see if you could help us identify a tagger this is what
10:35our
10:35victim was working on when he was killed wait defunct is dead you knew him i knew his work
10:43he was an up-and-comer in this scene the piece we're actually interested in is the one that he
10:47was
10:47painting over do you recognize that style um well you see the flares and the drip marks along the side
10:58they're as unique as a signature yeah cyclops half of these are cyclops
11:07and if i am remembering right he and the funk had beef dragged over each other's work before
11:14do you know cyclops is real ma'am sorry i don't well if these are all cyclopses i know where
11:20he
11:20works his paint cans are all from the same store well how do you know the guy worked there and
11:25wasn't
11:26just a customer well anyone on a budget knows that dented food cans get restocked and resold at a
11:31discount same goes for dented spray paint cans unless the dent is along the scene because then
11:35they could explode these are safe because they're empty but these cans really should have gone back
11:39to the wholesaler so cyclops didn't buy them from the store he intercepted them because he worked there
11:48what nothing it's just i'm surprised you working with the police you seem happy i like it well you know
11:59free coffee
12:19hey order yourself something no i'm good i see the cigars and bacon haven't killed you yet
12:25which one do you think will get me first look dad i got a job to get back to and
12:30you don't summon
12:30me unless you need something so what's up i've asked the city council to launch a panel to look into
12:37corruption you that's rich i'm considering a run for senate so i'll be the face of it plays well with
12:45the voters yeah that makes more sense i've heard about this morgan guillery consultant to yours right
12:53i think she'd be perfect for full benefits opportunity for advancement i'm sure we could
12:58pay her a little bit more than what lapd has given her wait wait a second you want to offer
13:02her a job
13:03yeah she's smart problem solver won't take no for an answer perfect and you know a hundred people
13:09who fit that description why are you looking at someone from my squad i touch a nerve there nikki
13:15come on son you and i both know that she's special i also know that she's not going to want
13:21to work
13:21with you well how about we let her decide that present her with the opportunity are you asking me
13:29to do this or are you telling me you're a big boy i'm sure you'll do what's best for everyone
13:49oh wow ah that's just wow i had to wear a hawaiian shirt and jorts the summer i worked at
13:56knots
13:56berry farm this is much worse did i see a picture no god excuse me hey we're looking for someone
14:04that works here it goes by the name uh cyclops do you know him
14:27you got about two feet of foam sticking out from behind that dumpster genius
14:31come on out damn it i didn't do anything yeah well tell that to tyler villanuever who
14:40defunct he was killed this morning someone killed defunct yeah i didn't have anything to do with that
14:45really your rival just so happened to get murdered while he was painting over your work yeah we were
14:49rivals but we called a truce we were working a job together what kind of job that weird building in
14:54case
15:07these pictures make you pretty upset hi anton how would you feel if someone drew one of your parking
15:12tickets or whatever you cops care about oh i can tell you we wouldn't kill anyone for it i didn't
15:16kill
15:16the guy like i said me and defunct had a truce because we were both hired to attack that building
15:21okay so who hired you i don't know someone i didn't get a name i never met the guy nothing
15:28we're gonna need more than that why do you smell like an ashtray oh sorry i had lunch with command
15:34and an ashtray i got nothing for you you took a job from an anonymous client to tag a building
15:39guys
15:40like me and defunct do our work on online forums a couple months back i saw a post offering to
15:44pay
15:45taggers to cover in case wait someone posted a criminal one ad i thought it might be the cops but
15:50it
15:51said the building was abandoned there'd be no security and they pay in crypto to keep both
15:54sides anonymous so i dm back seems like a pretty big risk in case you forgot i work as a
16:01dancing
16:01hammer i needed the cash turns out the gig was legit i got paid and as far as i knew
16:06me and defunct were
16:07good you mind telling us where you were between five and seven this morning at my girlfriend's
16:12and your belinda two hours away oh and your girlfriend would never lie for you she might
16:18but i'm guessing your boys at highway patrol wouldn't yeah they pulled me over leaving
16:22there on my way to work ask them i never thought the cops would get me out of trouble why
16:29would
16:29someone pay people to tag that one building try to cover up as much of it as possible well it
16:33doesn't
16:34look like the owners are going to be any help says here they're a hong kong consortium that ran out
16:38of
16:38money three years ago and haven't been heard from since a consortium of them what are you looking for the
16:44architect takes a lot of time and planning to design a building like that they can't have been
16:49thrilled at the new paint job does this job ever get to you what do you mean working at major
16:54crimes
16:55dealing with murder all day yeah i mean it doesn't help that i can remember absolutely everything but
17:00i like it why trying to fire me again oh maybe the opposite city council starting an anti-corruption
17:06panel and your name came up clearly they haven't seen me help myself in the bulk foods aisle
17:12you've been an asset here but sounds like a great opportunity well thank you very much but
17:16i'm not looking for an opportunity we should think about it's a 95 okay why are you trying to push
17:20this
17:20job on me you want to get rid of me of course not council just asked me to pass along
17:26the offer
17:26okay great you did it you passed it along can we uh get back to the job that i like
17:30doing thank you
17:31okay gerald lee in case is the culmination of years of work blah blah blah an inseparable part
17:38of my soul oh come on well if anybody has thoughts on that graffiti it could be him
17:48thanks for coming in mr lee we assume you heard about what happened at the encase building
17:52yeah it's awful i feel so guilty yeah the way i first reacted why how'd you react my first thought
18:01wasn't about the man who was killed i worried what would happen to my building makes sense you poured a
18:07tremendous amount of time and energy into it there's nothing like it in the world the beams on
18:12the outside make the support structure part of the design that's why i named it in case did you know
18:17the taggers were hired to deface the building you're kidding you didn't know who would pay someone to do
18:23that that's what we were hoping you could tell us i had no idea i mean the building has its
18:28critics
18:28some people didn't get it really but if all that graffiti was some kind of critique jokes on them
18:35why is that in case it's finally going to get finished until a few weeks ago the only people
18:41interested were developers who wanted to tear it down for the land that couldn't have felt good
18:45you're right it didn't but all that graffiti tanked the value someone swooped in and bought it in a private
18:52sale private sale that means the name of the buyer isn't public any chance you know it i can i
18:59can try
18:59and do some digging yeah or you could just tell us see i think you know who the buyers are
19:04you just
19:04don't want us to know because they're about to finish your building we read about how important this
19:08building is for your career mr lee but if that buyer had something to do with tyler villanoeva's murder
19:14and you protect them that's accessory so unless you want to read about your grand opening from prison
19:19you might want to think about coming up with that name this is latmore i'm detective karadek finally
19:31brad the police are here you're here about the graffiti um actually yes
19:53it's subtle my husband called a few days ago when it happened we thought you guys weren't coming
19:57my apologies it's the first we're hearing it's definitely defunct meaning he was here just before
20:01he died and looking to collect wait someone died what's this about well this is about your friend
20:07defunct who the guy who wants you to pay up the thing is mr latmore we're here because your employer
20:14rabner hughes industries just bought the encase building and you are their head of acquisitions
20:17mm-hmm now we were planning to ask if you'd hired defunct and another tagger to deface the building
20:22but seeing this that's uh definitely a yes and you and defunct got into a dispute over the money
20:27yeah one sec your husband hasn't been telling you the truth and the reason the police never showed
20:30up is because he didn't call him go ahead what happened defunct tried to shake you down for extra
20:34so you killed him i i didn't kill anyone rabner hughes wanted encase and if i didn't deliver i was
20:41out but
20:41the owner wouldn't budge on the price so you hired the taggers hoping their graffiti would drive the price
20:45down okay and did rabner hughes pay for that no i got the money out of our girl's college fund
20:52what
20:53oh my so if you paid him what's with the garage door well the plan worked faster than expected and
20:59i
20:59tried to pro-rate then he came by the house and i paid him out you can see both transfers
21:03ma'am
21:08second payments before defunct was killed brad had no motive any idea how he found your house
21:13yeah i can answer that you sent him a screenshot of your bank balance did he want to make sure
21:18you
21:18had the money yeah you had your location turned on just let him right to you my mother was right
21:24sandy
21:24get in the house brad starting to feel like defunct wasn't killed over anything to do with the tagging
21:34we should head back to the building maybe he walked in on something else
21:44okay so defunct ragged cyclops in there
21:49got bashed right around here what did he see it's still so hot in here my pits are blasting
22:00uh karadek
22:04i wasn't here before
22:12i think i see a propane torch
22:18multiple propane tanks i've got to shut it off
22:24no karadek wait stop stop there's gasoline in that glove the whole place is gonna blow up the glove
22:29yes gasoline dissolves latex that glove is basically just a slow fuse and when it finally eats through
22:39morgan get out of here well what are you doing hey there's still time to turn it off i'm right
22:44behind you go
22:45come on

24:02Morgan.
24:05I'll give you one more guess.
24:06But she, uh... I... Ow.
24:08Easy, easy, Adam.
24:10I didn't mean...
24:11I know you didn't.
24:14You look incredible.
24:18Dinner.
24:19Lucia, I'm so sorry.
24:20No, no, no.
24:22There's no reason to be sorry.
24:23You're okay.
24:25That is all that matters.
24:26Toast, can you at least put some avocado on it?
24:29No apple juice.
24:30Throw that right in the trash.
24:31You need some protein.
24:31Bring him avocado toast
24:33and just all the meats you have, okay?
24:34He's a big meat guy.
24:36Oh!
24:37Sorry to interrupt, Lucia.
24:39Lucia.
24:39Uh, hi.
24:41You look hot.
24:43You don't.
24:44You look bad.
24:45You almost got your head blown off, you moron.
24:49Glad you're okay.
24:50Thanks.
24:53What... what is this?
24:54It's a gallbladder.
24:55I don't know, a hospital gift shop.
24:56It was that or a uterus.
24:57Right choice.
25:02Is this...
25:02Chocolate chip cookie with all the chocolate chips picked out.
25:05Yes.
25:05I washed my hands thoroughly before I jumped in there.
25:09Why not just a sugar cookie?
25:11It's not the same thing.
25:12It's not the same thing.
25:14Has anyone else hurt in the explosion?
25:16Just a little cracked concrete on one side.
25:19So the building's still standing?
25:20Mm-hmm.
25:20Thanks to us, we got there and called it in on time.
25:24Were they able to...
25:25Oh.
25:26Okay.
25:27Someone get some sleep, okay?
25:29Uh-huh.
25:29Uh-huh.
25:43Here.
25:43Oh.
25:44Thanks.
25:45Yeah.
25:48You okay?
25:50Yeah.
25:51I'm fine.
25:53It's just...
25:55Dating a cop, you know this kind of thing can happen,
25:58but you're never ready for it.
26:00Yeah.
26:03Before I got the call, I was, um...
26:06Sitting in the restaurant.
26:08Alone.
26:09And, uh...
26:10I had this flashback.
26:13What it was like before...
26:16Adam getting wrapped up in the case and...
26:20forgetting our plans.
26:22Forgetting about me.
26:24But that didn't happen.
26:25No.
26:26He is different now, and I...
26:29I think you had something to do with that change.
26:32Well, just after a whole day with me, he's ready to go home.
26:39It's just so hard to see him like this.
26:42Well, he is the careful one.
26:44I'm the more elite-before-you-look type.
26:46Same.
26:48Now, last year I was in the ER.
26:49Really?
26:50Mm-hmm.
26:51I took a shortcut through the park
26:53and slammed my bike into a statue of George Washington
26:57and took a hoof to the elbow.
26:59Oh.
26:59See that?
27:00Hoof elbow.
27:01Mm-hmm.
27:01Worst.
27:02Awful.
27:05I'm gonna check on Adam.
27:08Thanks for being there for him, Morgan.
27:11You're a really good friend.
27:27Yep.
27:30How's he doing?
27:31They're gonna keep him a couple days for observation,
27:33but he's gonna be just fine.
27:35So things have gone from a little graffiti
27:37to someone trying to burn down the whole building.
27:39They sure did.
27:40And it's looking like the killer
27:41and the arsonist are the same guy.
27:43ME thinks one of those propane tanks is the murder weapon.
27:46Shape of the cylinder matches Defunct's head wound.
27:48So the arsonist and Defunct run into each other.
27:51Mm-hmm.
27:51The first time this guy tried to set the fire,
27:54Defunct saw him,
27:55so the arsonist killed him.
28:02Problem was Defunct ended up dangling off the side of a building,
28:05so the killer left and then came back later.
28:07Forensics is still trying to lift prints and DNA
28:09off what's left of the tanks,
28:10but it's gonna take time.
28:11So who would want to take it down?
28:12Uh, anybody with eyeballs?
28:14Very ugly building.
28:15But we were wondering the same thing.
28:17We talked to Gerald Lee, the architect.
28:19He talked about that building like it was his baby.
28:21Unlikely he would want to destroy it.
28:22Same with Rabner Hughes Industries.
28:24I mean, they bought it to fill it with tenants.
28:26Still wouldn't hurt to ask Lee or Brad Latmore
28:29to see what their thoughts are on the subject.
28:31It's Wagner.
28:33He is checking on Karadek
28:34and seeing if he can help out with the case.
28:36Give it a thumbs down.
28:37Take him up on it.
28:38Bring him along on the re-question of Latmore.
28:40And you two go talk to the architect.
28:43Sure.
28:43But only because Soto is making me say, sure.
28:49Eh.
28:58You know that job you mentioned, if the offer still stands,
29:01I think I'm interested.
29:03Really?
29:04Yeah.
29:05Better hours, better pay, less murder.
29:07Like you said, I should at least consider it, right?
29:12No, you shouldn't.
29:14Why not?
29:16Because you'd be working for my father.
29:18He's spearheading the panel, and the only reason why he wants you
29:21is because he wants to use you to make him look good.
29:26I'm sorry, Morgan.
29:28Obviously, this is your decision to make,
29:30but you shouldn't be making one without all the facts.
29:33And I apologize.
29:34I should have been up front from the start.
29:38Yeah, you really should have.
29:40Then I wouldn't have had to figure it out for myself, which I did.
29:44Of course you did.
29:45You mentioned city council.
29:47Your dad's on it.
29:47It wasn't exactly a Christopher Nolan movie.
29:52So you're not interested in the job?
29:53No.
29:54I just wanted to see if you'd be honest with me.
29:59Took me a little longer than it should have.
30:01What you got there?
30:06This panel's important to your dad, right?
30:08How's he going to feel about me turning him down?
30:11Honestly, Morgan, I couldn't care less.
30:20You again.
30:22You're new.
30:23Brad Latmore, Captain Wagner.
30:26My wife took the kids.
30:27They're staying with their mom.
30:29So thanks for that.
30:30Thank me?
30:31Okay, all the stupid things you did, that's my fault?
30:33What are you, one of my kids?
30:34Mind if we take this inside?
30:36Yeah.
30:43We wanted a buy-in case, not level it.
30:46That whole neighborhood's coming up because they're putting in a new rail line.
30:49Rents are going to go through the roof.
30:50Any idea who would want to burn it?
30:52We found evidence of an arson attempt inside.
30:55Really?
30:56Maybe we should have waited to pull the trigger.
30:57The price would be lower now.
31:00I'm joking.
31:01Hilarious.
31:02Hey, you know your model's wrong.
31:04It doesn't match the real thing.
31:05It's rotated 90 degrees.
31:06Oh yeah, I think the original client's asked for that change in the last minute.
31:11Beams on the outside make the support structure part of the design.
31:16That's why I named it in case.
31:18It is hot in here, huh?
31:20No wonder Tyler tagged a knife.
31:23Have you ever been inside the building, Brad?
31:27No.
31:27Tell you what, it's real hot in there.
31:30Hey, you're gonna break it.
31:32No, I probably won't.
31:33But even if I did, Sandy's gonna get it.
31:35Right?
31:36The way it is positioned now, the side that gets the most sun has a ton of concrete.
31:41But the way you've got it, the side that would get the most sun doesn't have that much concrete.
31:46It's all glass and noodles or whatever that's supposed to be.
31:50That building's not supposed to get hot.
31:52Part of the design is it's supposed to stay cool.
31:55That could be a problem.
31:56What kind of problem?
31:57Well, I'm not an expert, but that could cause the whole structure to come down.
32:01Well, that sounds bad.
32:12Just a quick update on the case, please.
32:14Shouldn't you be resting?
32:15I can rest and listen.
32:17Where's Lucia?
32:18She stepped up.
32:20Could you send her on a pointless errand so you could call us?
32:23I sent her to get me some water.
32:25Hydration is not pointless.
32:25Mm-hmm.
32:26Can we get to the case, please?
32:28You mean before she comes back and catches you on the phone?
32:30Yeah, you got it.
32:30Uh, we're thinking that whoever rigged that fire did it to hide the fact that the building
32:35was about to fall down.
32:36It's gonna come down?
32:37Morgan and the captain got the building plans from that exec you saw?
32:40Brad Latmore?
32:41Yes.
32:41We had the plans examined by experts.
32:43You remember when we felt like it was really hot in there?
32:45It was right before the building exploded and you almost got yourself killed like an idiot?
32:49Yes, Morgan.
32:50My memory is intact.
32:51It gets crabby when it doesn't get enough exercise.
32:53I am begging you to go on.
32:55Well, it turns out the original clients decided to rotate the building at the last second.
33:00They went at the boss's office to face the mountains.
33:02Problem is they rushed the plans through.
33:04So now the side of the building with the most concrete got the most sun,
33:07which made the building get too hot.
33:09And that's not good.
33:11Like any high-rise here in L.A., and Case has earthquake shock absorbers at its base.
33:15They're called seismic isolators.
33:18But according to the experts we talked to, those shock absorbers get too hot.
33:22They lose their flexibility and they don't work.
33:26The way it is now, any earthquake above a five and that building's coming down.
33:30And now that we know this, we realize the fire that you guys found was specifically set up to damage
33:34the concrete on that side of the building.
33:36Almost as if somebody wanted to be able to redesign one side of the building without anybody asking why.
33:41The architect. Lee.
33:45Exactly.
33:47He must have bumped into defunct while setting the fire.
33:51And he knew he couldn't leave a witness.
33:54His whole career is hanging on the success of the case.
33:57This lets him fix the mistake, save the building, and avoid a scandal.
34:01We've been trying to reach Lee since yesterday.
34:03Send Eunice to his house, his office.
34:05He's in the wind.
34:06Oh, hey, I gotta go. Bye.
34:10You were trying to sneak in a call. He was.
34:12So busted.
34:14You said before these new buyers that looked back the building was gonna be torn down?
34:18Yeah, that must be why Lee felt the need to set the fire.
34:21I mean, before that, his problem was gonna take care of itself.
34:23And the debris around the blowtorch included spray cans, right?
34:27You think he's trying to make the fire look like the taggers caused it?
34:29Yeah, absolutely. Those blowtorches are the same ones the taggers use.
34:33They help quick-dry the paint and control where the drips go.
34:35We're guessing he checked back to see if the fire worked.
34:37And once he realized we got there in time to prevent more damage, he fled.
34:41We've notified all the travel authorities, flagged his passport, car, credit cards, bank accounts.
34:46The last purchase he made before we stopped it was a sleeping bag and a lantern.
34:50But no food rations?
34:52Hmm.
34:54Go check out his house, his office, see if you can find any clues to where he'd hide.
35:05Do you really think you can lay up there and pretend I didn't just see you get off the phone
35:08with work?
35:09I know you better than that.
35:12And I know you better than the thing I could fool you.
35:15Mm-hmm.
35:15But I still might be able to surprise you.
35:26I think I owe you a date.
35:29Is this Arlo's?
35:30Mmm.
35:31How did you get Arlo's?
35:33I had it delivered.
35:35The nurses helped me set it up.
35:37Oh.
35:37Also, the best vintage I could find.
35:42Ooh.
35:43This is exquisite.
35:45Is it Napa?
35:47Cafeteria.
35:47Oh.
35:50Cheers.
36:03I love you, Lucia.
36:09I love you too, Adam.
36:32I wonder what his dating profile interests are.
36:34Himself?
36:36Laptop needs a password.
36:38I'll get it to TID, see if they can crack it.
36:50What you got there?
36:52I think this is what encase is made of.
36:54It's called bendable concrete.
36:57And it's not the first time Lee's used it.
37:01Is that important?
37:02Uh, yeah.
37:04Cause I think it just helped me figure out where he's hiding.
37:22He really loves an ugly gray wall.
37:25I think he's gonna find prison aesthetically pleasing.
37:30How did that brick tell you where he'd be?
37:32Oh, it's not a brick.
37:33It's a miniature.
37:35This guy kept every single sketch he ever made.
37:38And every article that was ever written about him.
37:41Which, I mean, okay.
37:43But one of the articles was about how he had planned for years to build encase.
37:47Ever since the first time he worked with bendable concrete,
37:50when he was hired by a client to build an underground bunker.
37:56The sleeping bag and the lantern.
37:57Yes, that explains why he didn't have to stock up on food.
38:00He knew the bunker would be completely empty except for a big food supply.
38:03But how did this thing tell you it was a bunker?
38:06Well, when we were searching Lee's office, I noticed a detail on the miniature.
38:10See the rectangle on the top?
38:11That's a door.
38:14Nicole!
38:15Hi!
38:16Hi.
38:17Uh, Nicole Heisler.
38:18This is my boss, Lieutenant Soto.
38:19I heard you were helpful on the case.
38:21I was glad I could do something.
38:23I got your message that you caught Defunct's killer.
38:27I've been talking to taggers who knew him.
38:29They wanted me to say thanks.
38:32That's nice.
38:33You didn't have to come all the way down here to do that, though.
38:35No.
38:36I also wanted to give you something.
38:38Really, it's for Ava.
38:41Roman helped get me out of the life.
38:43He gave me that.
38:45He wanted me to see the difference a female artist could make.
38:48I thought it might inspire his daughter, too.
38:54She's really gonna love this.
38:57You know, she also might really love to talk to you sometime if you wanna try not to let 16
39:02more years go by before we bump into each other.
39:05Call me anytime.
39:07I will.
39:17Oh, wait.
39:18No, no.
39:18You know you can't keep it, right?
39:19I'm not gonna keep it.
39:20I'm just gonna borrow it.
39:20I'm just gonna swing by the hospital and fill Carradick in.
39:23Okay.
39:25Good night.
39:38Ms. Quinn.
39:40You still in L.A.?
39:41Yes.
39:42And I thought I'd share some news.
39:45I heard that the FBI took Eric Hayworth into federal custody.
39:51Really?
39:53Nobody told me.
39:54Yeah, I just, I just found out myself.
39:57Apparently, they got a tip that he had information on an old murder.
40:02FBI agent, Lila Flynn.
40:04In other words, you had Hayworth move somewhere I can't get to him, but you can.
40:08Oh, I'm sorry, dear.
40:10I have to go.
40:10I'm just walking into a meeting, but I'm sure we'll speak soon.
40:13Bye.
40:16Looks like I'm on my knees again.
40:24Feels like the world's a world today.
40:30Yeah.
40:33Looks like I'm on my knees again.
40:37Feels like the walls of the walls today.
40:41Looks like I'm on my knees again.
40:45I guess I should know better than expect you to ask politely.
40:49You should.
40:55And you're right, it is a 30-year-old.
40:58The owner of the club is a client.
41:00I bought him the bottle.
41:06So, any word from the prodigal son?
41:08Yes.
41:09Nick is not sidelining Morgan Guillory.
41:12And the time being, she's staying at major crimes.
41:16So, there.
41:17Done your errand, and I'm out.
41:19Whatever you're doing, you have to find another way.
41:25Well, do I need to remind you that we're in this together?
41:31You and I know where all your bodies are buried.
41:34If I go down, you're coming with me.
41:38And you are right.
41:41We are going to have to figure out another way.
41:47Looks like I'm on my way together.
