Short filmTranscript
00:044, King 82, in pursuit of a white sedan, license 6, Frank, Charlie, Indigo 940, heading south on Vine, requesting
00:11air support and backup.
00:13Suspect's name is Derek Price. He is armed and dangerous.
00:43How could anybody have you? How could anybody have you? How could anybody have you? Lose you. How could anybody
00:50have you? Lose you. And I lose their mind.
00:58He's got good news. I lost Derek. What about the weapon? You took it with him. Damn it. We need
01:05you back here right now. Why? What's going on? Got a lead on the game maker?
01:09Uh, yeah, we sure do. He just walked in. He did what?
01:31He really just walked in here? Says he heard his face was on the news last week. Wants to know
01:36why.
01:37Who is he? Matthew Clark. You got a record?
01:42Squeaky clean. Lives downtown, has for a year, works cash jobs.
01:47Cash jobs? Makes it hard to track his money or his movements.
01:52What about family? His mom did time for grand theft, but she died when he was a kid.
01:56So basically you're saying there's not much to tie him either to Maya Price or the others he abducted?
02:00No, he wouldn't have walked in here unless he knew he was going to be able to walk out.
02:04Let me talk to him. No, Adam will talk to him.
02:07We all know he came here to talk to me. And we can't give him what he wants, Maureen.
02:11I can handle it. No coloring outside the lines.
02:14We need more on this guy other than the fact that he is an organ donor.
02:18Still nothing from Daphne Ross?
02:20No, not yet.
02:25Anything?
02:27Front desk says a Roman Sincara checked in last week.
02:30Just like our friends here at Henderson told us.
02:32Okay, so we're in the right place. Roman is here.
02:34Or was.
02:36Maybe he forgot to check out before he left.
02:38I usually do.
02:43Hey.
02:44Hey.
02:54Thanks for coming in today, Matthew.
02:56You understand your rights.
02:58I do.
02:58And I've got nothing to hide, so why was my face on the news?
03:04Spencer Wallace.
03:05That's Sierra Schumann.
03:10And Lev Osdell.
03:16All three were abducted last week.
03:22That's terrible.
03:24By a man matching your description.
03:27Really?
03:28Hmm.
03:30Oh, they all look so sad.
03:32He's toying with us.
03:34Let him try.
03:35You know, they're all members of the same grief group.
03:37Meets once a month out in Echo Park.
03:39You know the one.
03:40The one you attended.
03:42It sounds like you think I did this, detective.
03:44I think when we bring these people in here, they'll identify you.
03:47From a grief group.
03:48Sorry.
03:49Detective, I think you lost me.
03:52Come on, what is Karadek doing?
03:53Is this an interrogation or our first date?
03:56Give him time.
03:56Matthew Clark came in freely.
03:58Of his own free will.
03:59We pushed too hard and he leaves.
04:01We could lose the only chance we have to find out what really happened to...
04:03Maya Price.
04:09Is this woman saying I abducted her too?
04:12Mm-hmm.
04:13We're still trying to locate her.
04:15Maya disappeared two nights ago.
04:17So it sounds like she's not saying much of anything.
04:20Hmm.
04:20He's taunting us.
04:23Morgan, let Karadek do his job.
04:29Where were you last night around 9 p.m.?
04:32I was at home reading a book.
04:34Why?
04:34Because my colleague saw you at a party on the Byrd Streets.
04:37Did she?
04:38She?
04:39Did you hear that?
04:39He said she.
04:40Karadek didn't specify a gender.
04:41We're gonna need more than a pronoun to press charges.
04:44Detective, I do have one of those faces.
04:48Tell me, how do you know David Roybeck?
04:51Wish I could be more helpful, detective, but I don't know anyone by that name.
04:55Morgan, that's not...
04:56She's lying.
05:00Is that your wife?
05:05A little something on the side.
05:10Is this fun for you?
05:12Playing games with people's lives?
05:17Whoever's texting, it must be very urgent.
05:20Are you in a love triangle, detective?
05:23I understand that badge can be very persuasive.
05:28Wait here.
05:30I'd love a snack.
05:31A cookie.
05:33Anything Pillsbury.
05:42Really, Morgan?
05:43Yeah, Adam.
05:44Knock it off.
05:44This guy has you both exactly where he wants you.
05:47I'm sorry.
05:48There's a mother missing, and this bozo's in here asking for cookies.
05:50He can ask for whatever he wants.
05:51It doesn't mean we're gonna give it to him.
05:52Hold on a second.
05:53He didn't ask for just cookies.
05:57He asked specifically for Pillsbury.
06:00What is that?
06:01Some kind of clue?
06:03The Pillsbury variation.
06:05In chess, it's a variation of the Queen's Gambit Declined.
06:09A move in which Black declines White's temporary pawn sacrifice to establish a solid position.
06:15It's basically an elaborate chess move to secure your defense.
06:18What the hell does that mean?
06:21It means we have to decline the temporary sacrifice.
06:25We've got to release Jason Howard.
06:27Whoa, whoa, Morgan.
06:27You do realize Derek is still out there.
06:29I know, and Maya's still out there, too.
06:31And the only way to get her back is to play this game.
06:32We don't have enough evidence to hold Jason Howard much longer, anyway.
06:36Adam and I will go talk to Jason while we keep Matthew on ice.
06:39Okay, I'll keep an eye on him.
06:40From which side of the glass?
06:41Oh, so you do know how to interrogate people.
06:50So you no longer believe that my client killed Maya Price?
06:54Not anymore, no.
06:55But now you're saying that someone else wants to kill me because they think that I killed Maya?
06:59Yes, that's right.
06:59Her ex, Derek Price.
07:01Right.
07:01Uh, so why?
07:03Jason, do you recognize this man?
07:05Matthew Clark?
07:08Nope.
07:08We're questioning him now.
07:10We suspect he fed Derek some false information so that he'd believe you killed Maya and try to get revenge.
07:16Revenge.
07:17Wow.
07:17This, this is insane.
07:19Okay, well, where's this Derek who wants to kill me?
07:21We don't know.
07:22We're searching for him now.
07:23Nice.
07:24And Maya.
07:25Until we find both, we need to offer you police protection.
07:28What are you proposing?
07:29Three officers outside the home.
07:30They can secure the perimeter and make sure that Derek never comes near you.
07:35Or, you're welcome to stay here.
07:37No, no, no.
07:37I'll go home.
07:39What about Maya?
07:40You think she's alive?
07:41We hope so.
07:42We think she might just be a pawn.
07:44A pawn?
07:45In what?
07:45A game that ends in a murder he could never be charged for.
07:50Oh, my murder.
07:51My murder.
07:53Right.
08:03Is everything okay?
08:04Everyone here is doing great.
08:06Hey, Mom!
08:07And Elliot wants to say something to you, so I'm going to hand him the phone now.
08:11Hi, okay, so the school talent show is tomorrow, and I wasn't going to do it, but a kid got
08:14pink eye, so a spot opened up, and I really want it, but I know when I'm really supposed
08:17to leave the house just because that man Dad said is stalking us.
08:24Buddy, you want to do a talent show, you're going to do that talent show.
08:27Why don't we just invite Officer Chester?
08:29Yeah?
08:29Yeah.
08:30So what are you going to do?
08:32That's the surprise, but it's super cool, and I know you're going to love it.
08:35Can you put your dad on?
08:36Yeah.
08:39I can't tell you what Elliot's doing for the talent show.
08:41I'm sorry.
08:42What do you mean you can't tell me?
08:43Elliot swore me to secrecy.
08:44Ludo, the kid gets bullied enough at school, now he wants to go up on stage in front of
08:48everyone and do something that he considers cool?
08:51Beowulf by Anonymous.
08:53Hello?
08:54You're a dink.
08:57He's going to get eaten alive.
08:58He's going to be fine.
09:00I'm going to help him.
09:01You?
09:01No.
09:02Why would you help him?
09:02You're not the one.
09:05Hey, are you doing okay?
09:07Hello?
09:08I'll call you back as soon as I can.
09:12Hello?
09:15Is anyone there?
09:18I've never been in one of these rooms before.
09:21I remember hearing about people who had confessed to things I didn't do.
09:24I never understood why.
09:26But now that I'm here, I get it.
09:29It's concrete walls.
09:32Glass.
09:34I only got in trouble once when I was a kid.
09:38Some friends and I were playing chicken.
09:42We were biking right toward each other.
09:50Don't blink.
09:50Don't blink.
09:56You swear if you lose.
10:12Morgan, you got to go.
10:14We heard about a bomb threat on a metro bus.
10:16What about this guy?
10:16We believe the threat was him.
10:24Someone on the bus heard it ticking and called 9-1-1.
10:27Anyone see who left the back?
10:29No.
10:29And the cameras on the bus were broken.
10:31Where's the bomb?
10:31There wasn't one.
10:32It's just a timer with a thumb drive taped to the back.
10:38They recognize your woman.
10:45She's singing Bizarre Love Triangle by New Order.
10:49That's why Matthew Clark mentioned a love triangle in his interrogation.
10:52When was this video recorded?
10:53I wish I could tell you.
10:54Whoever made the video wiped all the metadata.
10:56Great.
10:56That means even after we find Derek,
10:58we can't use this video to prove to him that Maya's still alive.
11:00It gets weirder.
11:01The bag tested positive for ammonium nitrate,
11:04a chemical used in bomb making it.
11:05Okay, so he wants us to know there is a bomb.
11:07It's just not here.
11:08And we have less than two hours to stop it.
11:10Helen of Monaco.
11:11I don't recognize that brand.
11:12It's a brand new bag.
11:13What's with this loose thread?
11:15Do you think that means something?
11:16Everything means something with him.
11:27Oh, my God.
11:37We need to know when this bus started its route,
11:39because if it was after Matthew walked into our precinct,
11:41he just gave himself the best alibi ever.
11:43Yeah, the entire Los Angeles Police Department.
11:56We're almost in Canada.
11:58We're Detectives Özdemir Forster with the LAPD.
12:01What, you guys lost?
12:02No, no.
12:03We just want to talk to you for a minute.
12:04Hmm.
12:07I gotta be somewhere.
12:16What am I missing?
12:17There's got to be something here.
12:18Yeah, well, I hope you're right,
12:19because we're running out of time.
12:20I had the techs put a rush on that bag.
12:22The only DNA they're going to find on that bag
12:24is from whoever Matthew paid to drop it on the bus,
12:26and I doubt he showed him in space.
12:27Lieutenant must still be in with him.
12:30Here.
12:33It's Oz.
12:40Hey, any news?
12:41We found Roman.
12:42He wouldn't talk with us,
12:44so we're tailing him now.
12:46There he is.
12:49I'm sending you a photo now.
13:07That's not Roman.
13:10Are you sure?
13:12Got a fairly decent look at the guy
13:13when we had a child together,
13:15so, yeah, pretty sure.
13:17I've never seen that man before in my life.
13:19Okay, then we need to find out who he is
13:21and why he's using Roman's name out here in Nevada.
13:25Yeah, we got you.
13:26How's that other thing?
13:27Oh, you mean catching the guy
13:28who tried to drown my favorite coworker?
13:30You heard me, Daphne.
13:31I get it.
13:32Just be careful.
13:33You too.
13:37Gotta go.
13:40Hey, you good?
13:44Good enough.
13:47What more do you want me to say?
13:49You could start with a solid alibi.
13:51I can't be the only person in this city
13:53who stays at home to read.
13:55Only one suspected of abducting four people,
13:58including one of my own.
13:59Go ahead.
14:00Check my bank accounts, my car.
14:02Hell, you can search my apartment.
14:04You consent to a warrantless search of your place?
14:07Knock yourselves out.
14:09I've got nothing to hide.
14:12He wouldn't let us in that apartment
14:13if there wasn't something to find.
14:17We check the units above, below, and on either side.
14:19No trace of any explosives.
14:21You're good to go.
14:25Come on.
14:26Come on.
14:26What's this man trying to tell me?
14:28And he likes monkeys.
14:30Morgan, we gotta hustle.
14:31Less than an hour before a bomb might go off
14:33and we still have no idea where Maya is.
14:34So far, all we've learned about Matthew Clark
14:36is he volunteers at the local hospital.
14:40Said he was reading last night, right?
14:42Yeah.
14:42Not the best alibi.
14:43So maybe it wasn't an alibi.
14:47Maybe it's a clue.
15:02This one's upside down.
15:05It's about the man who saved the world,
15:07Stanislav Petrov.
15:08Please give me the shortest possible version.
15:10Petrov was a Soviet colonel during the Cold War.
15:12He was in charge of a nuclear warning system
15:14that falsely reported a missile launched by the United States.
15:17Let's get them.
15:19Come on.
15:19You can decide.
15:20Let's get them.
15:23If Petrov had reported the alert,
15:25it would have started a nuclear war.
15:26Okay, I get it.
15:27He's sending us a message.
15:28But, I mean, it's not exactly a crime
15:29to improperly shelve your books.
15:31What does that mean?
15:32I'm saying that we have to let Matthew go
15:34and keep searching for Maya and Derek.
15:35What?
15:35Are you insane?
15:36Morgan, we don't have any evidence.
15:38No, it's not a game anymore.
15:39This is about escalation.
15:40He's telling us this is war.
15:44Until one of us blinks.
15:47Let me see that video of Maya again.
15:49What, do you think we missed something?
15:50It pulled up Maya's video.
15:51Okay.
15:54Yes, look at her eyes.
15:55They're blinking like crazy.
15:56I never, I get this way.
15:58I just don't...
15:59In the Vietnam War,
16:00a U.S. naval officer was captured,
16:02and they made him send home a video message
16:04saying that he and his fellow prisoners
16:05were doing just fine.
16:06They were being treated fairly, right?
16:07I have adequate food.
16:08Only the whole time,
16:09his eyeballs were going nuts.
16:11And I received medical care
16:12when I require it.
16:17It's Morse code.
16:18It's Morse code.
16:18Yeah, not letters.
16:20These are numbers, see?
16:22Two, four, nine, two...
16:26She's repeating 2492.
16:282492 Blue Jay Way.
16:29That's Jason's address in the Byrd Streets.
16:30So Maya's telling us to go there,
16:31but we already conducted a sweep of Jason's house.
16:33Yeah.
16:33I mean, even if she was there
16:34when they recorded this video,
16:35she's certainly not there now.
16:37So maybe the message isn't from Maya.
16:43I think he's sending us this.
16:48But that just feels really sloppy, right?
16:51Like, why have us double back?
16:53While he was there at Jason's party,
16:54maybe he left something there for us to find.
16:56If so, we gotta find it fast.
16:58Come on, clock's ticking.
17:01I'm not cleaning that up.
17:09I hope you find what you're looking for.
17:41According to the stopwatch you left, we have less than a minute.
17:43I'm telling you, this doesn't feel right. Why would he send us back here?
17:46What? Do I need my lawyer for this?
17:48No, we just need to look around.
17:49For what?
17:49We don't know.
17:50You need to search my place, but you don't know what you need to look for.
17:52Listen, we might find something here that can help us find Maya, okay?
17:55Look, I'm not trying to be difficult, but in terms of my own comfort...
17:58Hey, bud, we're in a bit of a time crunch here, so help us help you.
18:01Time's up.
18:02What?
18:20You've got to be kidding me.
18:21That bomb was in one of your cars, Lieutenant.
18:24And until we know more, you're still safer with us, believe me.
18:27How are you going to protect me?
18:29You can't even protect yourselves.
18:33Let's go.
18:36Where the hell's he going?
18:37Jason Howard just hired his own private security.
18:40Well, look, I don't blame him.
18:41We're lucky no one was inside that car.
18:42Yeah, we're lucky.
18:43I'm feeling super lucky.
18:44Morgan, do you need more time?
18:46I don't need time.
18:47I need us to get this guy.
18:49How the hell did this happen?
18:51Well, apparently, he put a bomb on Karadek's car the day of the party.
18:54But why come after us?
18:55He's never targeted the police before.
19:01The message wasn't for us.
19:03The message was for Jason.
19:04Matthew Clark needed my car to blow up outside Jason's house,
19:07so he'd stop letting us protect him.
19:08And we still have no idea where Derek is.
19:12Yeah, or how to find Maya.
19:13Adam, contact Jason's lawyer.
19:15See if she'll listen to reason, even if he won't.
19:18I'll get an update on Derek.
19:19And Morgan, I want you to go home,
19:21check on your family now while you can.
19:23Lieutenant.
19:23We have no witnesses, no evidence, no leads.
19:25The minute we do, you'll hear from me.
19:27Go home, get some rest.
19:29Looks like it's gonna be a long night anyway.
19:33Go, go, go, go, go.
19:53Hey.
19:54Sorry about before.
19:56Why don't you let us give you a ride back to L.A., huh?
19:58I never told you where I was going.
20:00Your jacket did.
20:01Yeah, like blue.
20:02Look, we know you're not Roman Cenguera,
20:04so why don't you tell us why you're using his name?
20:06Well, that depends.
20:07Did they start letting LAPD make arrests out of state?
20:10We just want to talk.
20:11That's it.
20:12Right.
20:13Have a nice drive home, detectives.
20:17Morgan Guillory sent us.
20:22Sorry.
20:25Never heard of him.
20:31What happened to the chips?
20:32Oh, what a beautiful greeting.
20:34Where's Ludo?
20:35Elliot's room.
20:36They still practicing for the talent show?
20:38Mm-hmm.
20:39I tried to talk some sense into both of them, but...
20:42Do you know what he's doing?
20:43No.
20:44Uh-uh.
20:45Did you try listening at the door?
20:46Yeah, but all I heard was Elliot pushing back on creative differences.
20:50Okay.
20:51All right.
20:51Well, I guess we'll see tomorrow.
20:54No, I'm not going.
20:55Yeah, you're going.
20:56No, no, no.
20:56Uh-huh.
20:57I'm not going.
20:57Mm-hmm.
20:58You're gonna be there.
20:59You're gonna support your brother.
21:00And you're gonna support your mom.
21:01This is gonna be quite a challenge for me.
21:03Yeah, no kidding.
21:04Might be the greatest social train wreck in school history.
21:09Oh, boy.
21:14Hey, Mom.
21:15Perfect timing.
21:16Ella and I were just about to take five.
21:18Mind if I jump in?
21:20He's all yours.
21:22Wow.
21:23You guys rehearsed in some sort of a Tasmanian devil routine?
21:26Tasmanian devils are often depicted as hyperactive and aggressive,
21:30but they're actually pretty shy and solitary animals.
21:32Except when feeding or mating.
21:34Yeah, I know.
21:35I was just doing a little Looney Tunes thing.
21:37So, y'all ready for tomorrow?
21:38I will be.
21:40Okay.
21:40Well, I can't wait to see it, whatever it is.
21:44You're worried I'm going to do something super nerdy and get my butt kicked.
21:47Me?
21:48No.
21:49No, I don't.
21:50I don't.
21:51It's okay.
21:52I'm worried, too.
21:55Are you?
21:56Oh, buddy.
21:58I was maybe feeling a little bit nervous.
22:02You and I were not like other people, and honestly, I think that's cool.
22:05But sometimes, it can make us a little bit of a target, right?
22:10You know what?
22:10I'm actually dealing with a bully at my work right now.
22:14I think that might be why I'm feeling a little overprotective.
22:16But I don't want you to be scared.
22:18I want you to work really hard on whatever this is, and go out there tomorrow and have
22:22fun and be proud of yourself, no matter what the reaction is.
22:26I will.
22:27And they might make fun of me.
22:28But sometimes you have to lose the battle to win the war.
22:34Right.
22:35Right.
22:37Maybe I'm not supposed to win.
22:40What do you mean?
22:41The guy at work, he was reading a book about Stanislav Petrov.
22:44The man who saved the world.
22:46I think he's telling me to be more like Petrov.
22:50I think the only way I can beat this guy is if I'm willing to lose.
22:58Dad, break's over!
22:59It's getting weird in here!
23:01I think screaming should be your talent.
23:03What happened?
23:03I gotta go.
23:04Where?
23:05Play a game of chicken.
23:08What did you say to her?
23:16We need to talk.
23:19Come on in.
23:29This is quite a surprise.
23:31I doubt that.
23:32Did you find your missing woman?
23:34No, not yet.
23:35Your friends at the LAPD, do they know you're here?
23:39Morgan Guillory?
23:44No.
23:45Pool closes at 10, restaurant is at 11.
23:57If you really think I did all of those horrible things, why would you come here alone?
24:09Because if you wanted me dead, I already would be.
24:12I think you like this game as much as I do.
24:15I think that's why you're here.
24:16You're wrong.
24:19I don't like it.
24:20I'm here to quit.
24:26It's a game of chicken, right?
24:28You knew I was standing on the other side of that glass.
24:30You wanted me to know that you loved playing this game when you were a little kid.
24:33Two sides racing toward each other.
24:35If no one swerves, total annihilation.
24:56I don't believe you.
24:57You don't have to believe me.
24:59I'm just done.
25:01You know where I live.
25:02You know where I buy groceries.
25:04You've proven that you can get to me and my children.
25:08And I will protect them.
25:11So I have to protect myself for their sake.
25:15Can you imagine being a little kid and losing your mom?
25:24I'm not going to do that to them.
25:26This is my fault.
25:27I put us in danger.
25:28I was trying to prove that I could do this, but I can't because you are smarter than me.
25:32So you win.
25:35That's it.
25:36It's done.
25:38Just tell me where Maya is.
25:44Your partner's probably worried about you.
25:48Adam!
25:49We just got a hit on Derek's credit card, a location on the east side.
25:52Morgan's not answering.
25:53We'll keep trying her.
25:54Right now, I need you to make sure we get to Jason before Derek does.
25:57Send me the address.
25:59I wish I could help you, Morgan.
26:01But like I said, I don't know anything about this missing woman.
26:04What?
26:06That's it?
26:07Nothing?
26:10No.
26:11Come on.
26:11No.
26:12I gave you what you wanted.
26:13I quit.
26:14You won.
26:15The game is over.
26:16I really do hope you find her.
26:27Hey, Morgan.
26:30It's an old building.
26:32The elevator's been acting up.
26:33You should probably play it safe.
26:36Take the stairs.
26:57Morgan, where are you?
26:58Just checking something out.
26:59You?
27:00Derek just checked into a hotel on the east side.
27:02We think Jason did too, but he's not picking up, so I'm headed over there to try to find him
27:05before Derek does.
27:06Do you hear that?
27:08Bizarre love triangle.
27:09Where are you?
27:10I'm at Matthew's apartment building, third floor.
27:12Maya?
27:13What the hell are you doing over there?
27:15Maya!
27:16Morgan, I'm standing back.
27:16No, I'm fine.
27:17Go get Jason.
27:18Maya!
27:18Morgan?
27:19Morgan, hello.
27:20Maya!
27:23LAPD.
27:26Hey, Jason and Derek both checked in a half hour ago.
27:29Morgan?
27:31Morgan, talk to me.
27:33Oh, God, that sucks.
27:39Hi, yeah.
27:40Do you want to help out?
27:41Go get the super or something.
27:43Come on.
27:43Maya!
27:45I know this looks weird, okay?
27:47Don't you call the cops.
27:49I'm on the phone with one.
27:51Maya!
27:58Another?
28:00Uh, no.
28:01Another's not going to help.
28:11I'm on the roof.
28:13Here, Dick, we're calling for the super.
28:14He has a key.
28:16I've got eyes on Jason.
28:20Go good!
28:21Derek, Derek!
28:21No!
28:22No!
28:22No!
28:25LAPD!
28:26Guns down!
28:27Oh, my God, what's going on?
28:29Now!
28:32Derek, I need you to listen to me, man.
28:34Okay?
28:35He killed her.
28:35I've never killed anybody in my life.
28:37Sick bastard.
28:39Maya?
28:39I know.
28:40I got her right here.
28:40I got her right here.
28:41Derek, Maya is alive.
28:43Okay, Maya.
28:43I work with the police.
28:44Derek is about to kill someone who he thinks killed you,
28:47and I need you to tell him that you're alive, okay?
28:48Why'd you lie to me?
28:49Derek!
28:50He killed her.
28:51Derek, Derek, I'm okay.
28:52I'll never see her again,
28:53and I'll never be able to make it up to her.
28:56Morgan, I need you to keep her talking.
28:58Personal details, whatever it takes.
28:59Make him believe it.
29:01Hi, uh, Derek, we were married in Santa Barbara,
29:04and we always, we never took a honeymoon,
29:06but we always said we were going to,
29:07and Max, when he was born,
29:09we barely made it to the hospital.
29:10Maya?
29:11And he was eight pounds and seven ounces,
29:13and I want you to see him again, Derek.
29:19It's her.
29:27It's all...
29:29I'm sorry, okay.
29:31I'm sorry.
29:32You did it.
29:34You did it.
29:34It's okay.
29:35Is Max okay?
29:36Yes, he's fine.
29:37He's okay.
29:38It's okay.
29:39It's okay.
30:05The DA still doesn't think there's enough evidence
30:08to arrest Matthew for Maya's abduction.
30:10What are you talking about?
30:11We found her in his apartment building.
30:12Yeah, well, the landlord says
30:14the apartment's been vacant for weeks,
30:15and CSU still hasn't found anything yet.
30:17And since Maya didn't see the man who abducted her...
30:19Then we are right back where we started.
30:22Hey, don't worry.
30:23They'll see the inside of a prison cell cell cell.
30:25I don't think so.
30:30Do you remember the photograph
30:31of the monkey we found in his apartment?
30:33It's a Tarsier monkey.
30:35I think he hung it up on the wall as a reminder.
30:37A reminder of what?
30:38Tarsier monkeys refuse to be taken into captivity.
30:41The second they get inside of a cage,
30:42they get so stressed out
30:44that they start to self-mutilate
30:45and try and kill themselves.
30:48He's saying he won't be taken alive.
30:51Hey, look who's back.
30:53Sorry we didn't bring you a souvenir from Vegas.
30:56I'm sorry we didn't catch the guy.
30:58It's all right.
30:59Secretly hoping to put the cuffs on him myself.
31:01Hey, guys, take a look at this.
31:02Maya's medical records just came in.
31:04No broken bones, no bruises,
31:06no drugs in our system.
31:08How do you abduct someone
31:09without leaving a scratch?
31:12The blood in the trunk matched Maya's
31:14and she didn't have any cuts.
31:17How's it possible?
31:22Because the blood didn't leave Maya's body
31:25within the last 48 hours.
31:32What are you thinking?
31:35What are you thinking?
31:46You're back.
31:47Please.
31:58To what do I owe this pleasure?
32:00Oh, you know, I just,
32:02I was reading about your mom.
32:05Oh.
32:07Yeah, she worked at a hotel in Bel Air,
32:10is that right?
32:10Up until the point where
32:12she was accused of stealing by a guest.
32:14My mom never stole anything.
32:16Oh.
32:17But in her file,
32:19it's pretty clear she confessed.
32:20It was a forced confession.
32:22But she still died in jail, right?
32:24Left you bouncing around
32:25from family member to family member,
32:27just being a lonely kid
32:28with nobody to play with.
32:31See, I don't think you ever meant
32:33to hurt Maya at all.
32:35I think you were just trying
32:36to get my attention.
32:37But you did need for Derek
32:39to think that Maya was dead.
32:40This is the LAPD.
32:41It's about Maya.
32:42Because he needed to be mad enough
32:44to go kill Jason.
32:46Thus the blood.
32:49I don't understand.
32:50Yeah, that happens a lot.
32:52Let me help you.
32:53Maya's blood was on the dagger
32:55in her trunk,
32:56but Maya didn't have any cuts on her.
32:58So that leads me to ask myself,
33:00where the heck did that blood come from?
33:02Right?
33:03And then I remembered,
33:04uh, this guy is such a good guy.
33:07He volunteers at his local hospital,
33:09the very same hospital
33:11where Maya donated blood.
33:18Maybe your mom wasn't a thief,
33:20but her son sure is.
33:22I was just texting with my partner.
33:24Yeah, they checked the footage
33:25at the hospital.
33:26Sure enough, there you are,
33:27stealing Maya's blood.
33:29So officers will be here
33:30any minute to arrest you now,
33:33but I just wanted to make sure
33:34that I got here first,
33:35because I really wanted
33:36to see your face
33:37when you realized
33:39you will end up in a cage.
33:45Well played.
33:57She was a good mom.
33:59She worked so hard.
34:01She always made time for me.
34:03Gosh.
34:05I bet she would be so proud
34:07that you honored her memory
34:08by harming another mom.
34:10I never hurt anyone.
34:13Oh, it didn't hurt Maya
34:15to be kidnapped
34:15and taken away from her child?
34:17What about Jason?
34:18You set him up to be killed.
34:19He didn't have anything
34:19to do with any of this.
34:20The rich are all the same.
34:26They rig the game
34:27so that they always win,
34:28and we always lose.
34:34We're just pawns to them, Morgan.
34:37Disposable.
34:38Like my mom,
34:39just a convenient scapegoat
34:42for a fraudulent insurance claim.
34:44Some rich jackass destroyed.
34:47My life turned her into a criminal,
34:49and the police,
34:51they helped them do it.
34:59I believe you.
35:05I just don't care.
35:16My mom died in prison.
35:20My mom died in prison.
35:32I believe you.
35:36If I were to be pressed
35:40I'm gonna put it to the test
35:44You wanted it to be blessed
35:50And in your heart
35:54You know it to be true
35:59You know what you gotta do
36:02My mom died in prison
36:04But I won't
36:49It's all yours
36:53Matthew Clark
36:54You're under arrest for the kidnapping
36:56of Maya Price
36:58Spencer Wallace
37:00Sierra Schumann
37:02And me
37:23You're just as limbo as she is
37:28Sorry sorry sorry sorry sorry
37:31Okay
37:33Oh she's still spinning
37:34Yeah I'm getting dizzy
37:37Someone's gotta teach her about leaving
37:39I'm wanting more
37:44Okay
37:52Elliot's up next
37:52Sit up sit up and smile
37:54Next up we have Elliot
37:56Who will be doing well
37:58I'll let you see for yourselves
38:00Here we go
38:10Good evening
38:12Nerd
38:14Most of you only know me as Elliot
38:17But tonight you got to meet MC squared
38:19I came up with the name
38:21Okay
38:23Here we go
38:24Here we go
38:25Here we go
38:26La la la la la la hey
38:28Here we go
38:30La la la la la la hey
38:33Here we go
38:34Give me a chance
38:36And then you'll see
38:39Here we go
38:40I'm like you
38:41And you are just like me
38:44Give me a chance
38:47And then you'll see
38:48Here we go
38:50I'm like you, and you are just like me
38:55You let me drop a truth bomb, mic check, one, two
38:58See the labels coming at me? Yeah, I seem to
39:00Weird know-it-all, all the gossip in the hall
39:03Like I'm some kind of puzzle that you can't solve
39:05Or you can stop and ask my name, it's a triple dog
39:08Daryl, say E equals me equals MC squared
39:11I'm just a kid with an active mind
39:13But I'm really just like you, we should kick it sometime
39:16We don't need all the labels, just meet me at the table
39:18My brains wired different, but I bet that we're able
39:21To overcome this lame divide
39:23And find some calm down, we can reside
39:32Woo!
39:33Oh yeah!
39:35Woo-hoo!
39:37Woo-hoo-hoo!
39:37Yeah!
39:39And she swerved!
39:40Woo!
39:42Yeah!
39:43Woo-hoo-hoo-hoo!
39:44All right!
39:45Woo!
39:46Woo-hoo-hoo-hoo!
39:49So, you guys were surprised?
39:51Not at the part where you broke the microphone
39:53I wonder where he gets his lyrical genius from
39:56Oh boy
39:57Can I go say something to those idiots?
39:59Say something, do something, I'm not watching
40:02Hey
40:04You did it
40:12Hey guys
40:14Why don't I meet you outside, okay?
40:16Sure
40:16Come on
40:17Either way, superstar
40:25Who are you?
40:27I'm Arthur
40:27Okay, Arthur, you want to tell me why the hell you're at my kid's school
40:30And why you were using Roman's name?
40:32Take it easy
40:33I'm here because he told me that you were the one person he could trust
40:38But he also told me that he can't trust law enforcement
40:42When did he tell you all of this?
40:43Last week
40:47So, if you want to tell me why the one person he's looking out for is actually hanging out with
40:52the people he's running from
40:54Then please
40:56Don't hesitate to call
40:59What was in the backpack?
41:03What backpack?
41:04The backpack you had in Nevada
41:06I saw a picture and you had it and I know it wasn't yours
41:08And what makes you think that?
41:11Well, no Dodgers fan is going to wear an Angel's pin on the strap of their backpack
41:15That was Roman's team
41:16Plus, he never threw anything away
41:18He wanted to fix it himself
41:19Which explains the stitching on the seams
41:21So, you think I stole his bag?
41:23Or he gave it to you
41:24Either way, I want to know what was in the backpack
41:26I assume that was why you were in Henderson, right?
41:28Look
41:30Roman asked me to put eyes on you and Ava
41:32Just to make sure you two were okay
41:38You have a good night, Morgan
41:42I still thought the audience could have put the answer to call and response
41:46You know what I mean?
41:49So, why did that girl get first place?
41:50She's just doing stupid ballet
41:53A motion has been put forward to get ice cream in order to celebrate MC Squared here
41:58How do you vote?
41:59Aye
42:00It's unanimous
42:01Motion passed
42:02Last one of the car has to pay
42:07Mom?
42:09Who is he?
42:20I don't know yet
42:21I don't know yet
42:26It's really worth it
42:26Who is this girl?
42:51She's just doing gravity
42:52In the picture
42:52For me, I really appreciate this
42:55so faster
