00:00Five, six, seven, eight!
00:05H-O-T-T-O-G-O
00:07Snapping, clapping, touchy-toes
00:09H-O-T-T-O-G-O
00:11H-O-T-T-O-G-O
00:14You can take me hard to go
00:17H-O-T-T-O-G-O
00:21You can take me hard to go
00:25Hey, buddy.
00:30You can take me hard to go
00:32You can take me hard to go
00:32A-O-T-O-G-O

01:02Updates on Willa Quinn.
01:03Still keeping a low profile since she landed in L.A.
01:06I checked with County.
01:07She tried to visit Eric Hayworth in jail two days ago.
01:09You were right to put her on the restricted visitors list.
01:11They turned her away.
01:12I'm sure she loved that.
01:14Let's put Hayworth in protective custody.
01:17You think she'd send an inmate after him?
01:19I don't know what that woman would do.
01:21Hayworth mentioned her and Roman Sinquera's abduction.
01:23I'm sure she wants to silence him.
01:25Let's not give her a chance.
01:27What about our wiretap?
01:28Are we up yet?
01:29I put in the request, but the D.A.'s dragging their feet, as usual.
01:31I'll stay on them.
01:32Captain Wagner also pulled some strings
01:34and got a surveillance detail in her hotel.
01:36They're keeping track of who's coming and going.
01:38Nothing notable yet, but they'll keep it supposed to.
01:42Oh, in the meantime, duty calls.
01:44Bodies spotted on a building in Mid-City.
01:46You mean in a building?
01:48No, on.
01:49Multiple 911 calls about it dangling off the side.
01:53I'll text you the address and have Morgan meet you there.
02:03This building is...
02:05I don't know what this building is.
02:06Looks like somebody dropped some spaghetti on the blueprints
02:09and just kind of went with it.
02:10Hmm.
02:11Tyler Villanueva, 24.
02:13Extensive rap sheet.
02:14Hmm.
02:15Let me guess.
02:17Vandalism.
02:20Looks like he's been busy, huh?
02:21Yeah.
02:22Blunt force trauma.
02:23Vic was hit with a hard cylindrical object before he fell.
02:26Not sure what yet.
02:27Been dead for a few hours, so killed early this morning.
02:30Said they found him hanging off the side of the building?
02:32Witnesses spotted him caught on an architectural feature there.
02:36Unis think he was two floors up when he was struck.
02:38Fell over a balcony.
02:39Poor guy.
02:41Ready to take a look?
02:50Set a cylindrical object to the head, right?
02:55Oh, I don't think spray cans are hard enough to cause that kind of damage.
02:58Wow.
02:59This is very...
03:00Disgusting.
03:02No.
03:03I was going to say cool, because it's art.
03:05Vandalism is not art, Morgan.
03:07It's a misdemeanor.
03:08And misdemeanors are not cool.
03:13You never paid it over anything when you were a kid?
03:16Right.
03:17I forgot.
03:17You weren't a kid when you were a kid.
03:19It is hot in here, huh?
03:21No wonder Tyler tagged at night.
03:22Well, it's an abandoned building.
03:24That means no utilities.
03:25Can't just turn on the A.C.
03:30Yeah, we got blood over here.
03:34Looks like the Vic was struck here.
03:36Fled as a salient.
03:38That way.
03:38Probably disoriented.
03:40Already losing blood.
03:41Hit the ledge and went over.
03:42Sound about right?
03:48This is the last piece Tyler was working on before he got killed.
03:51The colors match the paint on his hands.
03:54Defunct.
03:55Must be his tag grenade?
03:56Mm-hmm.
03:56Yeah, but check this out.
03:58This is not Tyler's.
03:59He was ragging somebody else's work before he got killed.
04:02What's ragging?
04:03Ragging, capping, painting over.
04:05Oh.
04:06Roman, huh?
04:07Yeah, the L.A. graffiti scene is how he got his start as a muralist.
04:10He said that taggers live by a code.
04:13Does that code mean some spray paint can get you killed?
04:17Well, if a tagger does some quick line work and somebody rags it, not a big deal.
04:23But if the artist did line work and started to add some shading, and then somebody paints
04:27over it, not cool, but also not the end of the world.
04:31But painting over a completed piece that took time and skill, that's a problem.
04:39And that could get violent.
04:41Or in this case, deadly.
04:42Okay, well, I'll have forensics process this area and tell everybody else what we're thinking.
04:47Yeah, okay, I'll see you when you land.
04:50Morgan and Karadak are coming back from the crime scene.
04:52The victim was a tagger, went by the name defunct.
04:55Sadly prophetic.
04:56Yeah, they think the killer might be a rival artist.
04:59You got a name of the rival?
05:00Not yet, just some graffiti they left behind.
05:02The gang unit keeps a graffiti binder.
05:04To track activity throughout the city, I'll put in a call.
05:07Hello, Selena.
05:12Catch him at a bad time.
05:22I wonder how long Soto's gonna let her sweat in there.
05:25Does she look like she's sweating to you?
05:27We're gonna figure out the connection between Willa and Roman.
05:29We just don't have the answers yet.
05:31No, we certainly don't.
05:32So maybe we're asking the wrong questions.
05:34Uh, Morgan, whatever you're thinking about doing, don't.
05:37She's not under arrest.
05:38There's no reason I can't speak to her.
05:39I know that this is extremely frustrating,
05:41but you need to let Soto handle this.
05:44Any luck on the binders?
05:45Flagged a few that could be the tagger, but...
05:47But they're not.
05:48You sure?
05:49Yeah, I flipped through it.
05:50Tagger styles are very specific.
05:52Letter shape, spray speed.
05:54Our guy's not in there.
05:55We want to find that guy.
05:56We need someone connected to the graffiti scene.
05:58Taggers aren't known to help cops.
06:00I know someone who will.
06:01I already called her.
06:04I know.
06:05I know it's hard for you to take a back seat on this.
06:07Hayworth didn't pull her name out of nowhere.
06:09She knows what happened to Roman.
06:10You're right.
06:10And I have a plan.
06:12Trust me.
06:19I hope our interrogation room isn't too unpleasant.
06:22Our ballroom's being renovated.
06:24A room's a room.
06:25So.
06:27What brings you to L.A.?
06:29Well, after what you told me in New York,
06:30I had to come and clear my good name.
06:32Is that right?
06:34If Eric Hayworth is making accusations against me,
06:38I need to get to the bottom of it.
06:39I need to clear it up and put it to bed.
06:41Well, Mr. Hayworth is unavailable.
06:44Yeah.
06:45So I noticed.
06:48So I come with an offer.
06:51You told me that you had an old case,
06:54a missing person,
06:56um,
06:58Roman Sincuera?
07:00Well, I have contacts.
07:02And I can help you.
07:04And then we both get what we want.
07:06You get Sincuera,
07:07and I,
07:07I get to prove that I had nothing to do
07:09with whatever happened to him.
07:12See,
07:12I think that you're scared
07:14that we'll get to him first,
07:16and then you won't be able to make sure
07:18that he's gone forever.
07:21Trust me, Selena.
07:22Selena, you want me as a friend.
07:24I have enough friends.
07:28Including Eric Hayworth these days.
07:31He's been very cooperative.
07:35You remember that Blackberry
07:36I found in Roman Sincuera's backpack?
07:39I told you my texts were working on it.
07:42We pulled these messages off of it.
07:45There's some sort of code,
07:46so we can't really read them just yet,
07:49but
07:49the days and the times
07:51match the night that Roman disappeared.
07:54Like their instructions.
07:56See that?
07:59So I put a call into the DA.
08:02They're setting up a talk with me
08:03and my new friend,
08:05Eric Hayworth.
08:06I'm pretty sure he'll help us read them.
08:11Wow.
08:15Now I'm invested.
08:19So do tell me how that all goes for you.
08:22And if you change your mind
08:23about working together,
08:25let me know.
08:26Offer still stands.
08:31I am free to leave, right?
08:33This time.
08:36What's she doing?
08:37Wait, she's just gonna let her go?
08:39Hey!
08:40Hey!
08:41We are not done here.
08:42Morgan, calm down.
08:42Don't tell me to calm down, okay?
08:46Morgan!
08:46Let go of me!
08:47Morgan!
08:47This is your plan?
08:48As a matter of fact, yes.
08:50I needed to see her face
08:51and now I'm sure
08:53Willaquin is scared.
08:55And with Hayworth's help,
08:56we're about to find out why.
09:03Make anything of him?
09:05No.
09:07Well, Soda will get it out of Hayworth
09:08when she talks to him.
09:10Hey, we're close.
09:14Mmm.
09:15Mmm.
09:16It's a fancy restaurant.
09:18That's Lucia's favorite.
09:19We're celebrating.
09:20She put in an offer
09:21on a house in Lafayette Park
09:22and the seller just accepted it.
09:25Wow.
09:26That's a good school district.
09:27Think she'd mind
09:28if my family moved in?
09:30Unless she's already planning
09:31on maybe having a roommate one day.
09:33Well, we talked about it.
09:35What?
09:37Okay.
09:39You guys have been back together
09:40for like five minutes.
09:41Isn't that kind of
09:42rushing things a little bit?
09:43Well, I said we talked about it.
09:45That's it.
09:45But if that changes,
09:46you'll be the first to know.
09:47I don't need to be the first to know.
09:49You might want to notify
09:50your utility companies.
09:53Nicole?
09:55Hi.
09:58Margot.
09:58It's so good to see you.
10:00God, it has been forever.
10:02Last time I saw you,
10:03you were pregnant with your daughter.
10:04Ava, she's 16 now.
10:0616?
10:06It doesn't seem possible.
10:07Ah, tell me about it.
10:08And you know what else?
10:10Mm-hmm.
10:10She's an artist as well.
10:11Like her dad.
10:13Yeah, like her dad.
10:15Ah.
10:15Uh, Nicole Heisler,
10:17this is Detective Adam Karadek.
10:18Nice to meet you.
10:19Nice to meet you.
10:20Nicole is a professor of urban art,
10:22but when I met her,
10:23she went by the name Michelangelo.
10:26I was hoping you'd forgotten that.
10:28It's a tough one to forget.
10:30Thank you for coming in.
10:31We wanted to see if you could
10:32help us identify a tagger.
10:34This is what our victim was working on
10:35when he was killed.
10:38Wait, defunct is dead?
10:40You knew him?
10:41I knew his work.
10:43He was an up-and-comer in this scene.
10:45The piece we're actually interested in
10:46is the one that he was painting over.
10:48Do you recognize that style?
10:51Um, well, you see the flares
10:55and the drip marks along the side?
10:57They're as unique as a signature.
11:00Yeah.
11:02Cyclops.
11:02Half of these are Cyclops.
11:07And if I am remembering right,
11:10he and the funk had beef.
11:12Ragged over each other's work before.
11:14Do you know Cyclops' real name?
11:16Sorry, I don't.
11:17Well, if these are all Cyclops'
11:19I know where he works.
11:21His paint cans are all from the same store.
11:24Well, how do you know the guy worked there
11:25and wasn't just a customer?
11:26Well, anyone on a budget
11:28knows that dented food cans
11:29get restocked and resold at a discount.
11:32Same goes for dented spray paint cans,
11:34unless the dent is along the seam
11:35because then they could explode.
11:36These are safe because they're empty,
11:38but these cans really should have
11:39gone back to the wholesaler.
11:40So Cyclops didn't buy them from the store.
11:42He intercepted them because he worked there.
11:48What?
11:49Nothing.
11:50Just, I'm surprised.
11:52You working with the police?
11:53You seem happy.
11:56I like it.
11:58Well, you know, free coffee.
12:02Mm-hmm.
12:18Hey, order yourself something.
12:21Nah, I'm good.
12:22I see the cigars and bacon
12:23haven't killed you yet.
12:25Which one do you think will get me first?
12:27Look, Dad, I got a job to get back to
12:29and you don't summon me
12:30unless you need something.
12:32So, what's up?
12:35I've asked the city council
12:36to launch a panel
12:37to look into corruption.
12:39You?
12:40That's rich.
12:41I'm considering a run for Senate,
12:43so I'll be the face of it.
12:44Plays well with the voters.
12:46Yeah, that makes more sense.
12:47I've heard about this
12:49Morgan Guillory.
12:51Consultant of yours, right?
12:53I think she'd be perfect for her.
12:55Full benefits,
12:56opportunity for advancement.
12:58I'm sure we could pay her a little bit more
12:59than what LAPD's given her.
13:00Wait, wait a second.
13:01You want to offer her a job?
13:03Yeah.
13:03She's smart.
13:04Problem solver.
13:06Won't take no for an answer.
13:07Perfect.
13:08And you know a hundred people
13:09who fit that description.
13:10Why are you looking at someone from my squad?
13:13That touch of nerve there, Nicky?
13:15Come on, son.
13:17You and I both know that she's special.
13:19And I also know
13:20that she's not going to want to work with you.
13:22Well, how about we let her decide that?
13:25Present her with the opportunity.
13:28Are you asking me to do this,
13:30or are you telling me?
13:31You're a big boy.
13:33I'm sure you'll do what's best for everyone.
13:49Oh, wow.
13:51Ah, that's just, wow.
13:53I had to wear a Hawaiian shirt and jorts
13:55the summer I worked at Knott's Berry Farm.
13:57This is much worse.
13:59Did I see a picture?
14:00No, got me.
14:02Excuse me.
14:03Hey, we're looking for someone that works here.
14:04It goes by the name, uh, Cyclops.
14:06Do you know him?
14:13Please, go!
14:15How's he moving so fast in that stupid costume?
14:19Stop!
14:28You got about two feet of foam
14:29sticking out from behind that dumpster, genius.
14:32Come on out.
14:34Damn it.
14:35I didn't do anything.
14:36Yeah?
14:37Well, tell after Tyler Villanueva.
14:39Who?
14:39Defunct.
14:40He was killed this morning.
14:42Someone killed Defunct?
14:44Yo, I didn't have anything to do with that.
14:45Really?
14:46Your rival just so happened to get murdered
14:47while he was painting over your work?
14:49Yeah, we were rivals, but we called a truce.
14:51We were working a job together.
14:52What kind of job?
14:53That weird building.
14:54In case.
14:56We were being paid to tag it.
15:07These pictures make you pretty upset, huh, Anton?
15:10How would you feel if someone drew on one of your parking tickets?
15:12Or whatever you cops care about?
15:14Well, I can tell you we wouldn't kill anyone for it.
15:16I didn't kill the guy.
15:17Like I said, me and Defunct had a truce
15:19because we were both hired to tag that building.
15:21Okay, so who hired you?
15:23I don't know.
15:24Someone.
15:25I didn't get a name.
15:26I never met the guy.
15:27Nothing.
15:28We're gonna need more than that.
15:30What do you smell like an ashtray?
15:31Oh, sorry.
15:32I had lunch with the command.
15:34In an ashtray?
15:35I got nothing for you.
15:36You took a job from an anonymous client to tag a building.
15:39Guys like me and Defunct
15:41throw our work on online forums.
15:42A couple months back,
15:43I saw a post offering to pay taggers to cover in case.
15:46Wait.
15:46Someone posted a criminal one ad.
15:49I thought it might be the cops.
15:50But it said the building was abandoned,
15:52there'd be no security,
15:53and they're paying crypto
15:54to keep both sides anonymous.
15:55So?
15:56I DM back.
15:57Seems like a pretty big risk.
15:59In case you forgot,
16:00I work as a dancing hammer.
16:02I needed the cash.
16:03Turns out the gig was legit.
16:04I got paid.
16:05And as far as I knew,
16:06me and Defunct were good.
16:07You mind telling us where you were
16:08between five and seven this morning?
16:10At my girlfriend's.
16:12And your Belinda.
16:14Two hours away.
16:15Oh, and your girlfriend would never lie for you.
16:17She might.
16:18But I'm guessing your boys at Highway Patrol wouldn't.
16:21Yeah, they pulled me over
16:21leaving there on my way to work.
16:23Ask them.
16:26I never thought the cops
16:27would get me out of trouble.
16:29Why would someone pay people
16:30to tag that one building?
16:31Try to cover up as much of it as possible?
16:33Well, it doesn't look like the owners
16:34are going to be any help.
16:35Says here they're a Hong Kong consortium
16:37that ran out of money three years ago
16:39and haven't been heard from since.
16:40A consortium of them.
16:43What are you looking for?
16:44The architect.
16:45Takes a lot of time and planning
16:47to design a building like that.
16:48They can't have been thrilled
16:49at the new paint job.
16:51Does this job ever get to you?
16:53What do you mean?
16:54Working at major crimes,
16:55dealing with murder all day.
16:56Yeah, I mean,
16:57it doesn't help that I can remember
16:58absolutely everything,
16:59but I like it.
17:00Why?
17:01Trying to fire me again?
17:02Oh, maybe the opposite.
17:03City council starting
17:05an anti-corruption panel
17:06and your name came up.
17:08Clearly they haven't seen me
17:09help myself in the bulk foods aisle.
17:12You've been an asset here,
17:13but sounds like a great opportunity.
17:15Well, thank you very much,
17:16but I'm not looking for an opportunity.
17:17Well, you should think about it.
17:18It's a 95.
17:19Okay, why are you trying
17:19to push this job on me?
17:21You want to get rid of me?
17:23Of course not.
17:24Council just asked me
17:25to pass along the offer.
17:26Okay, great.
17:27You did it.
17:27You passed it along.
17:28Can we get back to the job
17:29that I like doing?
17:31Okay, Gerald Lee.
17:33In case it's the culmination
17:35of years of work,
17:36blah, blah, blah, blah,
17:36an inseparable part of my soul.
17:39Ew, come on.
17:39Well, if anybody has thoughts
17:40on that graffiti,
17:41it could be him.
17:48Thanks for coming in, Mr. Lee.
17:50We assume you heard
17:51about what happened
17:51at the in case building.
17:53Yeah, it's awful.
17:55I feel so guilty.
17:56Yeah.
17:58The way I first reacted.
17:59Why? How'd she react?
18:00My first thought wasn't
18:02about the man who was killed.
18:03I worried what would happen
18:05to my building.
18:06Makes sense.
18:07You poured a tremendous amount
18:08of time and energy into it.
18:09There's nothing like it in the world.
18:11The beams on the outside
18:13make the support structure
18:14part of the design.
18:15That's why I named it in case.
18:17Did you know the taggers
18:18were hired to deface the building?
18:20You're kidding.
18:21You didn't know.
18:22Who would pay someone to do that?
18:24That's what we were hoping
18:24you could tell us.
18:25I had no idea.
18:26I mean, the building
18:28has its critics.
18:29Some people didn't get it.
18:30Really?
18:31But if all that graffiti
18:32was some kind of critique,
18:34joke's on them.
18:35Why is that?
18:37In case it's finally
18:38going to get finished.
18:39Until a few weeks ago,
18:40the only people interested
18:41were developers who wanted
18:42to tear it down for the land.
18:44That couldn't have felt good.
18:45You're right, it didn't.
18:47But all that graffiti
18:48tanked the value.
18:50Someone swooped in
18:51and bought it in a private sale.
18:52Private sale?
18:53That means the name
18:54of the buyer isn't public.
18:55Any chance you know it?
18:58I can try and do some digging.
19:00Yeah, or you could just tell us.
19:02See, I think you know
19:03who the buyers are.
19:04You just don't want us to know
19:05because they're about
19:06to finish your building.
19:07We read about how important
19:08this building is
19:09for your career, Mr. Lee.
19:11But if that buyer
19:12had something to do
19:13with Tyler Villanueva's murder
19:14and you protect them,
19:16that's accessory.
19:17So, unless you want to
19:17read about your grand opening
19:19from prison,
19:20you might want to think
19:20about coming up with that name.
19:28Mrs. Latmore,
19:29I'm Detective Karadek.
19:30Finally.
19:31Brad, the police are here.
19:33You're here about the graffiti.
19:35Um, actually, yes.
19:53Subtle.
19:53My husband called a few days ago
19:55when it happened.
19:56We thought you guys weren't coming.
19:57My apologies.
19:58It's the first we're hearing.
19:59It's definitely defunct.
20:00Minnie was here just before he died
20:02and looking to collect.
20:03Wait, someone died?
20:04What's this about?
20:05Well, this is about
20:06your friend defunct.
20:08Who?
20:09The guy who wants you to pay up.
20:11The thing is, Mr. Latmore,
20:13we're here because your employer,
20:14Rabner Hughes Industries,
20:15just bought the encase building.
20:16And you are their head of acquisitions.
20:18Mm-hmm.
20:18Now, we were planning to ask
20:19if you'd hired defunct
20:20and another tagger
20:21to deface the building,
20:22but seeing this,
20:22that's, uh, definitely a yes.
20:25And you and defunct
20:26got into a dispute over the money.
20:27Yeah, one sec.
20:28Your husband hasn't been
20:29telling you the truth,
20:29and the reason the police
20:30never showed up
20:31is because he didn't call him.
20:32Go ahead.
20:32What happened?
20:33Defunct tried to shake you down
20:34for extra, so you killed him?
20:35I...
20:36I didn't kill anyone.
20:38Rabner Hughes wanted to encase,
20:39and if I didn't deliver,
20:41I was out,
20:41but the owner wouldn't budge
20:42on the price.
20:43So you hired the taggers
20:44hoping their graffiti
20:44would drive the price down?
20:46Okay, and did Rabner Hughes
20:47pay for that?
20:48No, I got the money
20:49out of our...
20:51girl's college fund.
20:52What?
20:53Oh, my.
20:54So, if you paid him,
20:56what's with the garage door?
20:57Well, the plan worked
20:58faster than expected,
20:59and I tried to prorate.
21:01Then he came by the house,
21:02and I paid him out.
21:03You can see both transfers.
21:05Ma'am?
21:08Second payments
21:09before Defunct was killed,
21:11Brad had no motive.
21:12Any idea how he found your house?
21:13Eh, a guy can answer that.
21:15You sent him a screenshot
21:16of your bank balance.
21:17Did he want to make sure
21:18you had the money?
21:19Yeah.
21:19You had your location turned on.
21:21Just let him write to you.
21:22My mother was right.
21:24Sandy...
21:24Get in the house, Brad.
21:31Starting to feel like
21:31Defunct wasn't killed
21:32over anything to do
21:33with the tagging.
21:34We should head back
21:35to the building.
21:35Maybe he walked in
21:36on something else.
21:44Okay.
21:45So, Defunct ragged Cyclops
21:46in there...
21:49got bashed
21:50right around here.
21:53What did he see?
21:54God, it's still so hot in here.
21:55My pits are blasting.
22:00Uh, Karadak?
22:04That wasn't here before.
22:13I think I see a propane torch.
22:18Multiple propane tanks.
22:20I've got to shut it off.
22:24No, Karadak, wait.
22:25Stop, stop.
22:26There's gasoline in that glove.
22:27The whole place is going to blow up.
22:28The glove?
22:29Yes.
22:32Gasoline dissolves latex.
22:33That glove is basically
22:34just a slow fuse.
22:35And when it finally eats through...
22:39Morgan, get out of here.
22:40Well, what are you doing?
22:42Hey, there's still time
22:43to turn it off.
22:43I'm right behind you.
22:45Go.
22:45Oh.
23:01Come on.
23:06Ah!
23:07Oh.
23:09Ah!
23:10Ah!
23:11Ah!
23:12Ah!
23:13Ah!
23:13Ah!
23:14Ah!
23:20No!
23:24Oh, God! There you are!
23:27Are you crazy?
23:28You're right. I have to call this in.
23:30Are you okay? Are you okay?
23:32Oh, my God!
23:33Yeah, I...
23:34Oh, no, no, no, no!
23:35I'm okay.
23:36I'm okay.
23:37I got you!
23:38I got you!
23:39I got you!
23:41Oh, no!
23:42No!
23:42Okay.
23:44Officer Dan!
24:02Morgan.
24:05I'll give you one more guess.
24:06But she, I...
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.
24:21No, no, no.
24:21There's no reason to be sorry.
24:23You're okay.
24:25That is all that matters.
24:26Toast?
24:27Can you at least put some avocado on it?
24:28No apple juice.
24:30Throw that right in the trash.
24:31It needs protein.
24:31Bring him avocado toast and just all the meats you have, okay?
24:34He's a big meat guy.
24:36Oh!
24:37Sorry to interrupt, Lucia.
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.
25:01Is this?
25:02A chocolate chip cookie with all the chocolate chips picked out.
25:05And yes, I washed my hands thoroughly before I jumped in there.
25:09Why not just a sugar cookie?
25:11It's not the same thing.
25:14Was anyone else hurting the explosion?
25:16Just a little cracked concrete on one side.
25:19So the building's still standing?
25:20Mm-hmm.
25:21Thanks to us, we got there and called it in on time.
25:23Were they able to?
25:25Oh.
25:26Okay.
25:27I'm gonna get some sleep, okay?
25:29Uh-huh.
25:42Here.
25:44Thanks.
25:45Yeah.
25:48You okay?
25:50Yeah.
25:51I'm fine.
25:53It's just dating a cop.
25:56You know this kind of thing can happen, but you're never ready for it.
26:00Yeah.
26:03Before I got the call, I was, um, sitting in the restaurant alone and, uh, I had this flashback
26:13of what it was like before Adam getting wrapped up in the case and forgetting our plans, forgetting about me.
26:23Yeah.
26:24But that didn't happen.
26:25No.
26:26He's different now and I, I 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.
26:42You know, 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.
26:50Really?
26:50Mm-hmm.
26:51I took a shortcut through the park and slammed my bike into a statue of George Washington and took a
26:57hoof to the elbow.
26:59Oh.
26:59See that?
27:00Hoof elbow.
27:01Mm-hmm.
27:01Mm-hmm.
27:01The worst.
27:02Awful.
27:05I'll check on Adam.
27:08Thanks for being there for him, Morgan.
27:11You're a really good friend.
27:27Yep.
27:29How's he doing?
27:30They're gonna keep him a couple days for observation, but he's gonna be just fine.
27:35So things have gone from a little graffiti to someone trying to burn down the whole building.
27:39They sure did.
27:40And it's looking like the killer and 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, Defunct saw him.
27:55So the arsonist killed him.
27:57Ah!
28:00Ah!
28:00Ah!
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 off what's left of the tanks, but 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 Lapmore to see what their thoughts are on the subject.
28:32It's Wagner.
28:33He is checking on Karadek and 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 Lapmore.
28:40And you two go talk to the architect.
28:43Sure.
28:43But only because Soto is making me say, sure.
28:49Sant.
28:58You know, that job you mentioned, if the offer still stands, I 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.
29:19And the only reason why he wants you is 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.
29:59It took me a little longer than it should have.
30:01Did you get there?
30:06This panel's important to your dad, right?
30:08How's he gonna feel about me turning him down?
30:11Honestly, Morgan, I couldn't care less.
30:20You again.
30:22You're new.
30:23Brad Latmore.
30:25Captain Wagner.
30:25My 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?
30:35Mind 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 gonna 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've 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.
31:04Doesn't match the real thing.
31:05It's rotated 90 degrees.
31:06Oh, yeah.
31:07I think the original client's asked for that change at the last minute.
31:11Beams on the outside make the support structure part of the design.
31:17That's why I named it in case.
31:18It is hot 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?
31:58Well, 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 is Lucia?
32:18She stepped out.
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.
32:26Mm-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.
32:30We're thinking that whoever rigged that fire did it to hide the fact that the building was about to fall
32:36down.
32:36It's gonna come down?
32:37Morgan and the captain got the building plans from that exec you saw, Brad Latmore.
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.
32:56Well, 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, which made the building get
33:08too 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, they lose their flexibility and they
33:24don'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 Successman 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.
34:07I gotta go.
34:08Bye.
34:10You were trying to sneak in a call.
34:12He was.
34:12So busted.
34:14You said before these new buyers, it looked like 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.
34:30Those blowtorches are the same ones the taggers used.
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.
34:40We'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.
34:53Go check out his house, his office, see if you can find any clues to where he'd hide.
35:04Do you really think you can lay up there and pretend I didn't just see you get off the phone
35:09with 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?
35:32How 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.
35:41Oh.
35:43This is exquisite.
35:45Is it Napa?
35:47Cafeteria.
35:48Oh.
35:50Cheers.
35:51Mm-hmm.
35:56Mm-hmm.
35:58Mm-hmm.
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.
36:56And 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.
37:23He 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.
38:09See 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.
38:45Wanted 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 want to try not to let
39:0116 more 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.
39:21Well...
39:21I'm just gonna swing by the hospital and fill Karadek in.
39:24Okay.
39:25Good night.
39:38Ms. Quinn.
39:40You still in LA?
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?
39:52Nobody told me.
39:53Yeah, 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, I have to go.
40:10I'm just walking into a meeting, but I'm sure we'll speak soon.
40:27One second.
40:30Okay.
40:38Hey, now.
40:39That is a 30 year old whisper.
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.
41:12The 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.
41:24Well, do I need to remind you that we're in this together?
41:31I 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 knees.
41:55See you next time.
42:01Bye.
42:05Bye.
42:16Bye.
42:25So fast, sir!
42:28Ha!
