Short filmTranscript
00:00You guys made mistakes. I've fixed them. Let's not make a big deal out of this.
00:05What mistakes did you see?
00:08I have a compulsion to put things right. If I see a mistake, I need to correct it.
00:12Ta-da! I have an IQ of 160.
00:14The technical term is high-potential intellectual.
00:17It means you have advanced cognitive abilities.
00:19Come do this whole time. We need you.
00:21You know this woman?
00:22I'm his partner.
00:23We're not partners. She's actually just a consultant.
00:25When you and I split up, we agreed. We're going to remain a family no matter what.
00:28Ludo thinks of you as his daughter.
00:30It's not the same.
00:31Your father loved you.
00:32That's why he left.
00:33I need you to find someone. Roman's team Kiera. He vanished 15 years ago.
00:37You got a deal.
00:38You made this for your dad?
00:39If you find him.
00:40It turns out Roman was working as an FBI informant.
00:43Two hours to make your move.
00:45Sounds like some kind of game.
00:46The kidnapper wants us to play by their rules.
00:48They're watching us.
00:49Ah, it's answering his phone.
00:50I got him!
00:53This kidnapper is really toying with me.
00:55Making a run for it.
00:56Then I'll take these for you.
00:58Ava and I are trolled for this game and Chloe's going to need a couple more years.
01:01Morgan, I know where he is.
01:03Roman is alive.
01:06Ava and I know where he is.
01:09Ava and I know where he is.
01:20Hey, to talk to the angels.
01:25Drawing circles in the clouds.
01:39Hey, how's it going over there?
01:41Pretty good. Just read him his third bedtime story.
01:43But only three bedtime stories? You got off easy.
01:46Thank you so much for babysitting. I really need it tonight.
01:49Of course. Are you on your way home?
01:51Yeah, I'm on my way.
01:52Okay, careful.
01:53Will do. Love you guys.
01:55Love you.
01:55Love you.
02:47Let's play. We have three, four minutes to make our move.
02:49The fun has just begun.
02:51They made me play games.
02:52They're running a white anime mess.
02:55And they're watching us.
02:56Whoever's playing games with us, it isn't David Ward-Bad.
02:58Well, then who the hell is this guy?
03:01Look!
03:08Help! Help me!
03:10What? What is it?
03:11No one can help you.
03:14What are you doing? Are you serious?
03:17He's cheating.
03:19My pillow's my rule.
03:20Stop, okay? First of all, it's a pillow fight. There's no way to cheat.
03:23Second of all, they are not your pillows.
03:25Oh, you!
03:27All right, she lulled me into a full sentence.
03:28It's not fair!
03:29Hello?
03:30I'm trying to read my baby sister to sleep.
03:33Oh.
03:34Okay, I'll do it. Quietly.
03:35Shh!
03:36Go by the way.
03:37You know, maybe if you weren't stuck in this house for like a week, you wouldn't be acting
03:40like animals.
03:43Wild animals. I can't.
03:44Snake attack!
03:55Your boss is here.
03:59Oh!
04:00Perfect timing. You're sleepy now, right? Go to bed.
04:03Okay.
04:03Do you mind?
04:04I got him.
04:05I got him. I got him.
04:07So?
04:09How are we holding up?
04:12Not great.
04:13Pretty terrible, actually.
04:16I don't know what's worse, being stalked by a deranged psychopath or having to lie to
04:19my kids about it.
04:20There's no need to scare them. We're going to catch this guy soon.
04:24Everything will be back to normal.
04:26I hope so.
04:27It's only a matter of time before they realize Ludo's not crashing on the couch because of
04:31a palm weevil infestation.
04:33They're native to his neighborhood. I figured Elliot would check. He did.
04:38Do you have anything else for me besides this homework?
04:41I wish I had more of an update on Roman.
04:44We're pretty confident Gio's contact had good intel. He's staying somewhere in Henderson,
04:50Nevada. We've got the force out there helping us get closer.
04:54Do you have an address?
04:55Not yet, but we'll get one.
04:59We'll figure it out.
05:02How's he doing?
05:05Karatek?
05:07He's ready to have you back.
05:09We all are.
05:37Whoa, whoa.
05:38Daph, where you going?
05:38I got plans.
05:40Really? At this hour?
05:43Settle yourselves.
05:44It's just a friend.
05:45And you guys need to get out of here, too.
05:47We can't be pulling back-to-back all-nighters.
05:49Yeah, you know what? She's right.
05:50Go home.
05:51Why?
05:52It's not like I'm going to sleep anyway.
05:54Not until we catch the bastard.
05:56Well, I appreciate the sentiment, but burning yourself out is not going to help the cause.
06:00Yeah? What about you?
06:01I'll be right behind you.
06:02You're a terrible liar.
06:04Yeah, that wasn't great.
06:05Later, guys.
06:06See ya.
06:10Okay.
06:19Hey, why you calling me so late?
06:22There's my grumpy guy.
06:24Nice to hear your voice, too.
06:26Why you working so late?
06:27How do you know I'm working?
06:28Well, you answered your phone at 2 a.m. and you don't have a social life.
06:31Yeah, you know, this guy went after one of our own.
06:33He got close to you, he got close to your kids, so it's been impossible for any of us to
06:36slow down.
06:37Really thought we would have found him by now, especially with his sketch all over the news.
06:40Yeah, so did I.
06:42You know, it's very detailed.
06:43Yes, it's very detailed.
06:44I worked really hard on that with two different artists.
06:46No, the nose is too aquiline.
06:49The zygomatics are just bananas.
06:50What are you doing?
06:51Oh, I thought I said a slight cleft and just a little dimple, but apparently I said John Travolta and
06:56I don't remember it.
06:57Clear the whole thing.
06:58Oh, God, I just gotta learn how to draw.
07:02I don't like this feeling, Karadek.
07:04It sucks.
07:05I hate it.
07:05Yeah, I do, too.
07:09Yeah.
07:12Get yourself some sleep.
07:14You, too.
07:35Morning, Chester.
07:36Hey, what you got there?
07:39Well, nothing says thanks for looking after my family like an open box of shortbread cookies.
07:44I would have brought you what I made Chloe for breakfast, but it was disgusting.
07:47Well, Lieutenant Soto didn't mention this assignment would have perks, so thank you.
07:52It's a quiet night?
07:53Yeah, yeah, all good.
07:55Hey, you all dressed up, where you going?
07:58Just gotta go run some errands.
07:59I'll see you later.
08:00All right.
08:14Nobody came by?
08:15No, just the usual.
08:17Babies, dogs, you know.
08:19What?
08:21Wrong address.
08:26Everything all right, Morgan?
08:27Yeah.
08:28I'm just gonna go around the corner for a sec.
08:30You want me to call for a police escort?
08:32That's okay.
08:32No, I'll be quick.
08:35Keep an eye on the house.
08:36You want me to call for a police?
08:38I'll be quick.
08:39...
08:39...
10:09Stephanie?
10:10Oz, it's really nice to see you back at work.
10:12You too.
10:13You doing okay?
10:14Yeah.
10:15Me neither.
10:16And yes, Morgan, we did get all of your texts.
10:19And two voice notes.
10:20Which were kind of hard to hear because it sounded like you were running.
10:23Yeah.
10:24What am I going to tiptoe or mosey?
10:27Of course I'm running.
10:28It's important.
10:28Have that dusted for Prince, please.
10:30What else is in this bag?
10:32Probably teething crackers or something.
10:34I don't know.
10:35Don't make a big deal out of it.
10:36Also, that bag looks like it can be used many more times.
10:38Give it back to me when they're done.
10:39Okay.
10:40So do we really think that this could be the game maker?
10:42Yes.
10:42Not sure.
10:43I am sure.
10:44Are you?
10:45Because last week there were a few other cases where you were pretty confident.
10:48I understand.
10:48Okay.
10:49I jumped the gun a couple of times.
10:50But you guys think about it.
10:51The song, The Lion Sleeps Tonight, paired with the jungle animal match game that he slipped
10:56into my grocery bag next to my children, it is him.
11:00What do we have so far?
11:01No, we're still gathering information starting with the person who lives at that address.
11:04Just one name on the lease, Maya Price.
11:07We left word for her this morning.
11:08Hopefully we're here back soon and she's okay.
11:10Maya Price is my sister.
11:12We can't find her.
11:161522 Wells Avenue.
11:17Where's mommy?
11:26I was babysitting Max last night.
11:29And I went to Maya's place this morning when she didn't show to pick him up.
11:34The front door was open.
11:35I just knew something was wrong.
11:37But how did you guys find out that she was missing?
11:40Our consultant, Morgan, happened to be walking by.
11:42I live one street over.
11:45Really?
11:45Yeah.
11:46It's a weird coincidence.
11:49Sarah, take us through everything from last night.
11:52Okay, Maya got some free tickets to see a show at Sound Nightclub.
11:56Any idea who she was with?
11:57A friend from work, I think.
12:00You know, she sent me a photo.
12:03Where do they work?
12:05AGM, Art for Gile Music.
12:07She also works part-time at Costco to make ends meet.
12:10Sarah, any chance that Maya may have had too much to drink, ended up crashing at someone else's place last
12:15night?
12:16No.
12:17No.
12:17She doesn't drink.
12:18She's the most responsible person I know.
12:25Sorry.
12:25I'm so scared that something happened to her and I'm...
12:31You know, I'm trying to hold it together for Max.
12:33What's the situation with Max's father?
12:36Derek, he's...
12:38He's a good guy.
12:39He just has bad habits.
12:41He struggled to hold down a job.
12:43It got kind of messy.
12:44Messy?
12:44How?
12:45Custody issues.
12:47We have a court date set next week.
12:53Sarah, do you recognize this man?
12:56He's connected to another case that we're working in and we think...
12:58And, um, that's all we have right now.
13:03No.
13:04I'd remember if I'd seen him before I don't forget faces.
13:07Sarah, as soon as we have some answers, we'll be in touch.
13:13That's it.
13:22Reminds me of my club days.
13:23Add that to the list of things Maya and I have in common.
13:26Now, if the doorman at the club said he saw Maya leave alone around 9.30pm last night,
13:30then the question becomes, where did she go?
13:32This parking lot.
13:33She hadn't been out in forever.
13:34She's not gonna drive around looking for a meter.
13:37Plus proximity, you know?
13:38Believe it or not, we don't love using pepper spray.
13:39Fair enough.
13:40Well, Maya drove a silver Honda Accord.
13:43If it's not here, I'll have Daphne put out a bolo on the car.
13:48I don't know, Morgan.
13:48This is just way too exposed.
13:50It's unlikely she was abducted here.
13:51There had to be a second location.
13:52Nope.
13:53This is the spot.
13:56Those busted street lights provided the perfect darkness for him to hide in.
14:00You see this?
14:03This is a little heel cap from her shoe.
14:07A shoe, not necessarily Maya's.
14:09I'm just gonna keep going.
14:12This is where he attacked her.
14:22She fought back.
14:23She got away by using her purse as a weapon.
14:29Got lip balm, candy, and these little glass fragments that smell like orange blossom.
14:37Must have been from a perfume sample from a department store.
14:40I'm familiar.
14:43Then she ran.
14:44It was a Friday night.
14:45There had to be a guard in that booth over there.
14:49She needed help.
14:55But she didn't get it.
14:57So then her heels must have left these marks, presumably as he was dragging her to his vehicle.
15:03Yeah, or hers.
15:05Which means she would have been parked in this spot right here.
15:09Karadek, look.
15:10There's two lines of heel marks and then it just turns into one.
15:13So at a certain point, only one heel was dragging and leaving a mark.
15:17That means she lost a shoe during the struggle.
15:20Found it.
15:30He crammed her unconscious body into the trunk of her own car.
15:36He was in control the whole time.
15:40And she knew it.
15:45I put the bolo out on Maya's car.
15:47Good.
15:48Now alert the press, let them know we'll have a briefing later today,
15:51and get a photo of Maya ready to go.
15:52And maybe show them a picture of this guy again.
15:55Not until we know we can tie the game maker to her abduction.
15:58Right now, we focus on finding Maya.
16:00I'm very focused on finding Maya, which is why I want to focus on the man who abducted her.
16:04I think she's right.
16:05There are too many coincidences.
16:06Prints are in on Morgan's mail.
16:08And?
16:09Yours and the postman's.
16:10Looks like Maya pulled a permit for a weapon a few months back.
16:13Protection from her husband?
16:14Let's find out.
16:15I want Derek in here for questioning Stan.
16:18And we're clear to search Maya's place.
16:20Let's get over there.
16:21Clock is ticking.
16:37Hmm.
16:38You know, this record doesn't fit the rest of her collection.
16:40We'll take it with us.
16:41Check it for prints.
16:45Locks are new.
16:47Probably installed in the last month or so.
16:49Okay, so it certainly appears like Maya purchased a gun.
16:52There was a record of sale from two weeks ago, but I can't find a weapon anywhere.
16:55All right, Derek.
16:55We'll keep looking, all right?
16:56Okay.
17:16Karadek?
17:17Yeah?
17:18Look at this.
17:19Prada, Gucci, Versace.
17:21That's thousands of dollars of stuff Maya can't afford.
17:24Gifts from someone.
17:25Yeah, but they're all missing.
17:26Yeah.
17:26Maybe they were stolen.
17:47Karadek!
17:48Karadek!
17:49Yes?
17:50Morgan?
17:51I'm pretty sure those expensive items weren't stolen.
17:53They were sold.
17:54Let's go.
17:55Go where?
17:55The Boneyard.
17:57The Boneyard?
17:58Yes, of course.
17:59Why wouldn't we be going to the Boneyard?
18:00You guys check out Maya's work.
18:02Artful Gile Music.
18:03Call me with anything.
18:03I'm gonna get it.
18:10Fritzie.
18:12Good to see you.
18:13Hey, it is too late to buy back your mixer, Morgan.
18:16It's long gone.
18:17No, I don't want the mixer.
18:19I also have a job now that allows me to keep my appliances.
18:21We're here on official police business, Fritzie.
18:24You're a cop?
18:25No, but they do sign my paychecks.
18:26This woman is missing.
18:29And I know she recently got rid of some pretty pricey designer stuff.
18:35So...
18:35So I'd like them, please.
18:37She could have sold that stuff anywhere.
18:38Yeah, but she also picked up an electronic piano for her kid.
18:41What, I have a monopoly on electronic kiddie pianos?
18:44Fritzie.
18:45There was a sticky spot on the side of it in the shape of a dog bone.
18:49You sell people stuff, and then you take off the price tag,
18:51but you never remove the goo.
18:52Pain in the ass to get off.
18:54I know.
18:56Okay, fine, all right?
18:57But I did a good deal by that lady.
18:59But I can't be handing over a thousand dollars of goods to you.
19:02It's hard enough to keep the lights on as it is these days.
19:04Uh, the LAPD will put it on their tab.
19:06There is no tab, Morgan.
19:08The LAPD will reimburse you from the city slush fund.
19:10Not a thing.
19:12Fritzie, why don't you just turn over the items?
19:13Otherwise, I went up to fast-track a warrant for a more invasive search of this place,
19:16and who knows what kind of illicit goods we'll find in here.
19:19What are you doing?
19:19It's too much.
19:20You trying to feel big?
19:22He's trying to feel big.
19:22This guy's trying to keep his lights on.
19:24Fritzie, I am so sorry.
19:25I'll tell you what.
19:26You let me borrow this stuff,
19:27and I promise to give it back to you as soon as we're done with it.
19:30Fine.
19:31Yeah?
19:32All right.
19:32Well, thank you, sir.
19:35And if what you're saying about that lady is true,
19:37you might want to talk to the fella she was arguing with out in my parking lot.
19:41Did you get a look at him?
19:42No.
19:43But my cameras did.
19:56Derek, the reason why we brought you in here today is because Maya's been missing since
19:59last night.
19:59She was abducted from a car lot in Hollywood.
20:02Oh, my God.
20:03Oh, my God.
20:05I had no idea.
20:09What about Max?
20:10Is Max okay?
20:11Max is fine.
20:11He's with Sarah.
20:13And you would have known sooner, but we couldn't find you.
20:15Well, I was having a few drinks at a bar in NoHo.
20:18Okay?
20:19I had more than a few drinks.
20:20I was upset.
20:22I haven't seen my kid much lately.
20:23Looks like things got pretty heated between you two outside the boneyard.
20:34Look, she'd been dodging my calls.
20:36I admit, it was a mistake to follow a gift.
20:39She'd been getting expensive gifts from someone.
20:42And I got jealous.
20:44I admit that.
20:45Okay?
20:47Look, I would never hurt her.
20:52Did you know that Maya recently purchased a firearm, Derek?
20:55I mean, why might she do that?
20:58What?
20:59No.
21:00No.
21:01No.
21:01Maya hates guns.
21:03He didn't do it.
21:04We're wasting time.
21:05Maybe he did.
21:06Maybe he didn't.
21:07Maybe he knows something we don't.
21:09Derek, what happened to your aunt?
21:14Honestly, I don't know.
21:16I can't remember.
21:17I made it back to my auntie's place, and then I passed out.
21:20Maya is my whole world.
21:24Love of my life.
21:27And I miss my son.
21:29I've made mistakes, yes.
21:31But I would never.
21:34You have to find her.
21:40Uh, we're digging into Derek's alibi.
21:43Okay.
21:44Oz and Daphne came back with someone I think you're going to want to talk to.
21:48Barry Gibb?
21:49The woman that Maya was with at the club.
21:58We had a blast.
22:00It was obvious she needed a night to herself.
22:03Custody battle was stressing her out, and she was freaking out over how expensive lawyers can be.
22:07Your boss, uh, Jason Howard, correct?
22:10We'd like to talk to him, but he's been hard to locate.
22:12That doesn't surprise me.
22:14He net put his way into the CEO position years ago, and he has the work ethic to prove it.
22:18He's more likely to be on a scouting trip to Italy or at one of his vacation homes than to
22:24be at the office.
22:26Hmm. Gross.
22:27Uh, was Maya seeing anyone?
22:29Maybe somebody who could afford designer stuff?
22:32She told me about the gifts.
22:35I have my suspicions on who sent them, but she wouldn't confirm it.
22:39You think Jason was sending her those gifts?
22:40I'm pretty sure the only reason he comes to AGM at all is to see her.
22:44He gave us those tickets to the club.
22:46Told Maya she deserved to let go for a night.
22:49I mean, do you think maybe...
22:51No. Hell no.
22:53Maya would never.
22:54She felt weird about taking the tickets in the first place.
22:58But it was gaga night and peer pressure.
23:04Am I a bad friend?
23:06You're here, aren't you?
23:10You know, you kind of look like her.
23:17Hey Daphne, what else we got on Jason?
23:19Half a dozen sexual harassment complaints over the last five years.
23:22Looks like they all settled out of court.
23:24Sounds like he's paying people to be quiet.
23:26No, not people. Women.
23:31Morgan, where are you going?
23:32To get some air.
23:37I've got a record player that was made in 2014.
23:40Died my hair of blue, it came out of seasick, sort of green.
23:44I like vintage dresses when they fall just below my knees.
23:47I pretend I scraped them climbing in the tree.
23:50I've got a record player that was made in 2014.
23:54Died my hair of blue, it came out of seasick, sort of green.
23:57And I vintage dresses when they fall just below my knees.
24:00I pretend I scraped them climbing in the trunk.
24:04And I think all I'm ever chilling is trying to convince myself from climbing in the trees.
24:11Let's call your favorite judge.
24:12We need a search warrant for any and all residences linked to Jason Howard.
24:15Okay, I know you guys aren't 100% sold on my game maker theory yet,
24:19but hopefully this should clear things up.
24:21I'm guessing this is what the inside of your mind looks like?
24:23Oh, buddy, not even close.
24:25Okay, you ready?
24:26Jason Howard is a diabetic, just like Spencer.
24:30As a matter of fact, he is on the board of a research initiative at County General,
24:34meaning he would know exactly how long a person could be without insulin.
24:37He's also a painter.
24:39These are his original works.
24:41Kind of reminds you of the ones that we found hanging in the gallery.
24:44Guys, turns out a trust fund and a work aversion
24:47gives you a lot of free time for hobbies,
24:49because he's also a certified scuba instructor.
24:53I mean, half the guy's Instagram pictures are of him in exotic locations,
24:57you know, teaching impressionable young women in wetsuits
25:00all about the secrets of the abyss.
25:03You ready for the big finish?
25:04I have to admit, this is pretty fun.
25:08Mm-hmm.
25:10Mm-hmm.
25:11Mm-hmm.
25:17So?
25:19Jason and the Game Maker are one and the same.
25:21No!
25:21No!
25:22It's a trap.
25:24Guys, I just went into the war room.
25:25It took me like five minutes to get all this stuff off the internet.
25:28He's trying to get us to focus over here so he can keep slithering around over there.
25:32It's just too easy.
25:34This is what I think.
25:35The Game Maker is trying to frame Jason
25:38to be a part of whatever game this is he's currently playing.
25:42Or, it's Jason, it's always been Jason,
25:45and your guy is just a good Samaritan who helped save the frozen jerky.
25:49Okay, then how did that card game get into my groceries?
25:52Well, whoever's doing this has pulled off more complicated tricks than that.
25:55Look, we're just saying, isn't it possible?
25:57Sometimes the easiest answer is the right one.
25:59I don't care if it's possible. This is what's happening.
26:02You still have to follow protocol.
26:03I want to be on your side here, Morgan.
26:05But why would he go to so much trouble to frame this particular guy?
26:09Gosh, Oz, I'm not sure. Let's find him and ask him.
26:11All right, enough.
26:12For now, we keep all investigative pads wide open until the facts tell us otherwise.
26:17Go be with your kids. Keep your phone closed.
26:26The stress is getting to her. She's not a cop.
26:29She certainly didn't sign up for this.
26:31Selena, stop.
26:32Adam, she said no.
26:35Said no to what?
26:36The job. When I offered it to her, I pushed her into it.
26:39I promised to help her with the Roman case if she came on as a consultant.
26:43Why are you telling me this now?
26:44Because I put her in this position.
26:46No, you gave her an opportunity.
26:49You did the right thing by bringing her on. We need her.
26:54If she goes rogue and something happens, maybe I just take her off the case.
27:00You trust me?
27:02You know I do.
27:03Okay. Well, I trust her.
27:09Would you like me to take over? Now that all the work is done, that's when I really shine.
27:13It's okay. I'm good.
27:16Are you?
27:20It's Roman.
27:21I think they're getting pretty close to finding him.
27:23What happens if they find him?
27:24What happens if they don't find him?
27:27I just really want this for Ava.
27:29I'll eat later if that's cool.
27:30Wait, where are you going?
27:31Keisha's having a few people over.
27:33Oh, it's dinner time.
27:34You know I'm still a growing boy.
27:36Okay, it'll be ready soon.
27:37It's not a really great day for that because we're having family night tonight.
27:41Again?
27:42We've been doing this for like a week now.
27:44Mom, I'm not stupid.
27:45I know something's going on.
27:46I'll set the table.
27:48Where are the cookies?
27:50Uh, the cookies.
27:53It doesn't matter because we eat our growing food before we even think about cookies.
27:57You know, the Ayurvedic system believes that a small portion of dessert sets up the digestive system for...
28:04I'll wait.
28:04Yeah, you'll wait.
28:06Hey.
28:08Of course you're not stupid.
28:10Yes, we need to talk, but can we do it when we have a little bit more privacy, please?
28:15Yeah.
28:23Hi, Morgan.
28:24Hey.
28:25Did you get my text?
28:26No.
28:30We're going to a party?
28:31You've got to be kidding me.
28:34Hell.
28:40The hell kind of party is this?
28:42Jason's hosting an album release for one of his artists.
28:45Said he couldn't get out of it, but he's happy to talk to us here.
28:47Let's just take the weird win.
28:49Weird like these masks look kind of like the game makers?
28:52Duly noted.
28:53Is there a mask that speaks to you or would you like me to match one to your aura?
28:58I tell you what, this one right here is yapping at me, but I think you should match his aura.
29:02Yeah.
29:02No, that will not be necessary.
29:04Yeah.
29:04Go nuts.
29:06Uh huh.
29:07Really get in there.
29:08Yep.
29:09Yeah.
29:10Bingo.
29:11Nailed it.
29:13Bye.
29:15Oh, Morgan.
29:17I need you to focus.
29:18We still have to find Jason.
29:19I am focused and I already found him.
29:21It's right over there in front of that wall of 19 year olds.
29:25Detectives.
29:26Thanks for showing up.
29:28Uh, can I get you anything?
29:30Yeah.
29:30A quieter place to talk.
29:32Maya's worked for me almost a year.
29:34She schedules all my stuff.
29:36My social and philanthropic stuff.
29:39Is that why you bought her so many gifts, Jason?
29:41Gifts?
29:43Tickets to Sound Nightclub?
29:45Those are comps.
29:47Just generous.
29:49Yeah.
29:50A lot of stores on Rodeo Drive that would agree.
29:52Not to mention your platinum card.
29:55I was worried that you'd find out about that.
29:57No, why would you say that?
29:58Because I didn't buy those things.
30:00Maya did.
30:01She has access to my credit card for work stuff.
30:04And my people noticed a transaction in my statement last week and I confronted her.
30:09So you did not fire her even though she stole thousands of dollars from you?
30:12Well, she denied it.
30:13And I have a soft spot for single moms.
30:19Besides, it's just money.
30:21Yeah.
30:21Totally.
30:22Just money.
30:24Ooh.
30:24Well, those are beautiful.
30:26What are those?
30:27Tonto daggers?
30:28Yeah.
30:29Yeah, I bought those in Seki City.
30:31They belong to a samurai.
30:34Are you a collector?
30:35Me?
30:36No.
30:37Those are a teeny bit outside my price range, but I love how you've displayed them.
30:41Yeah, they're arranged by shogunate periods.
30:43They sure are.
30:45Let's see.
30:46Minamoto, Taira, Toto, Ashikaga, Oda, Tokugawa.
30:50Except one's missing.
30:51The Takeda.
30:52It's not there.
30:56You don't strike me as a guy who would display an incomplete set.
31:00Jason, I'm gonna need you to think real hard on this one.
31:03Where were you last night around 9.30?
31:05I was here.
31:07I had my chef make me a meal.
31:09I got up in some paperwork, and then I went to bed early.
31:11Now, if you'll excuse me, I have to get back to my party.
31:14Taffy Boy needs me.
31:15I hope you find Maya.
31:16I really do.
31:17You guys can see yourselves out, right?
31:19Yeah.
31:20Okay.
31:26Well, he's lying.
31:27That man doesn't work during the day, let alone at night.
31:33You're waiting on me to leave so you can poke around Jason's den without a warrant, aren't you?
31:37Yeah.
32:12Morgan.
32:14Morgan.
33:20Hey, don't move.
33:22Mask off now.
33:50Excuse me.
33:51Hey.
33:52I saw him.
33:53Who?
33:54Him.
33:55I know I saw him.
33:55He was just here.
33:56Where did he go?
33:57I don't know.
33:59Okay, well, Morgan, we still have to find Maya.
34:00Yeah.
34:01Morgan.
34:08I want your badge number and your phone number.
34:12Hey.
34:13Garrida?
34:14Hey.
34:16Come here.
34:17Where is she?
34:18Where's Maya?
34:19Did you kill her?
34:21Now, where is she?
34:27Hey, I got your messages.
34:29The doors and windows are locked and Chester's on alert.
34:31How are you holding up?
34:33I think it's going to be a long night.
34:36He was smiling at me.
34:38He's enjoying this.
34:39You guys are good?
34:40Yeah, we're doing okay.
34:42I think it was the right thing to do, telling the kids what's happening.
34:46Are they scared?
34:47Yes.
34:48But mostly for you.
34:50I told them.
34:51Their mom's got the entire police department looking out for her.
34:56You're a good dad.
34:59I'll be homeless as I can.
35:00Be safe.
35:17Jason is not saying another word.
35:20Which means we're no closer to finding Maya.
35:22Maybe Jason isn't telling us where Maya is because Jason doesn't know where Maya is.
35:28Well, he knew where she was the night she was taken.
35:31The gifts were bought on his card.
35:32Her bracelets and his pool.
35:34The missing dagger from his wall.
35:35Yeah, I'm not saying the evidence doesn't point to Jason.
35:38I'm the one who said it would.
35:39Remember?
35:40We just got to figure out why.
35:45How dark was it at the party?
35:47One face.
35:48All those people.
35:50What are you implying?
35:51Are you implying I didn't see him?
35:52No, we know you saw him.
35:53It would just really help if one of us could see him too at some point.
35:56Yeah, it sure would help.
35:58I would love that.
35:58But only I saw him at the party.
36:00Just me.
36:01That's how he wanted it.
36:02It was clearly by design.
36:04So what is the game, Morgan?
36:06I don't know what the game is.
36:07Maybe the game is figuring out what the game is.
36:10And yes, I hear how crazy that sounds.
36:12But what else can we expect from this guy?
36:16Are you?
36:17Are you really suggesting that I don't remember his face?
36:21That man is a danger to my children.
36:25Okay?
36:26I'm never going to be able to forget his face.
36:29Long after we're done with this.
36:30Long after we get him and we put him away.
36:32And you guys move on to another case.
36:34He's going to live up here.
36:36Cemented inside of my brain.
36:37Along with all of the other things I got to look out for.
36:39And I'm going to make sure my kids are okay.
36:42So if we could just, you know, close the book on this whole Morgan made up an imaginary man thing,
36:47that would be great.
36:49Okay, I've got something.
36:51A salvage yard in Sun Valley just reported Maya's car.
36:54Go check it out.
36:56You call me as soon as you land on the scene.
37:02Lieutenant Soto.
37:04Officer Sigmund.
37:05How are things in Nevada?
37:07That's right.
37:08That's right.
37:09Roman Sinqueira.
37:11What do you got?
37:14The car showed up last night.
37:16I saw your bolo when I ran the vent.
37:18You see you brought it in?
37:19No.
37:20Sorry.
37:21This is it.
37:23She's all yours.
37:24She's all yours.
37:42Hey.
37:44Are you okay?
37:46I don't know.
37:47What do you think?
37:48You know, if we pull Jason's prints off the dagger and get him to talk, maybe we can get to
37:51Maya.
37:51Just because she's wounded doesn't mean she isn't still alive, Morgan.
37:55Morgan.
37:58You heard?
38:00I did.
38:01I also heard from our friends in Nevada.
38:04They called with an address.
38:07Roman?
38:07I think so.
38:09I came after they called.
38:10I figured you'd want to hop in a car.
38:12I can drive.
38:13It's just a few hours away.
38:14No.
38:14No, I'm not.
38:15I can't leave my kids here with that guy still out there.
38:17Daph and I can go if you want.
38:18Yeah.
38:19Whatever you need, Morgan.
38:20What is going on?
38:22After everything we went through last week, I filled them in too.
38:29Okay.
38:30Yeah, thank you.
38:31We'll call you as soon as we have eyes on it.
38:36Who called him?
38:39Roman?
38:40No, Derek.
38:41Maya's ex, the dad.
38:42He was at the police station when we got there with Jason.
38:45Did somebody call him and give him a heads up that we had made an arrest?
38:48No, Major Crimes doesn't notify victims' families about active investigations.
38:51But he knew we were going to be there.
38:53He was waiting for us when we came in with Jason, do you remember?
38:57If we didn't tell Derek that Jason might have killed Maya, who did?
39:02Hello?
39:02Derek, this is the LAPD.
39:05It's about Maya.
39:06I wish we had better news.
39:08It was him.
39:10You think the game maker called Derek?
39:12He must have wanted Derek to see Jason getting arrested.
39:15Why?
39:16That's what we got to find out.
39:18First, I thought he sent this to me to get my attention, lead me to Maya's house.
39:21But what if I'm not the only person who got this flyer in the mail?
39:28It would be pretty easy to steal Jason's credit card if he had a key.
39:36He's the one who sent Maya all those gifts and made it look like Jason did it.
39:39He stole her bracelet when he abducted her, dropped it in the pool, and then he grabbed the weapon on
39:45the way out.
39:49Okay, but why do all this?
39:50Just to frame Jason?
39:51No.
39:52I think leading us in the wrong direction was only part of the game.
39:54So what's the rest?
39:56What's his next move?
39:57Well, look at all these gifts.
39:58All the red ones are either Versace or Gucci.
40:01What do those two men have in common?
40:02They were murdered.
40:03They were both shot and killed.
40:06Where's Derek?
40:07You think Derek is his next victim?
40:09Not exactly.
40:11Keep going, I'm listening.
40:14The weapon that Maya supposedly registered for?
40:17We never found it.
40:18Yeah, I don't think she ever bought a gun at all.
40:20I think he wanted Derek to think that she did.
40:22Did you know that Maya recently purchased a firearm?
40:25What?
40:25The game maker knew Derek would want revenge.
40:27So he placed a gun in Maya's house after we searched it.
40:31It's possible Maya was just fate and she could still be alive.
40:34Yeah, it's possible.
40:35I mean, we're still waiting on DNA and a blood type from Maya's trunk.
40:38Yeah, I hope so.
40:38But if she's not part of the game anymore, he doesn't need her.
40:41Look, we did everything we were supposed to do, right?
40:43We played the game, we played it his way.
40:44None of the other victims died.
40:46Maybe he's not a murderer.
40:47Not if he got someone else to do it for him.
40:53So it's Jason, he wants dead.
40:54We gotta find Derek.
41:05The game maker created a murderer.
41:07And we put the weapon right in his hand.
41:25Derek!
41:26Stop!
41:47This is it.
41:52Roman Sincera?
42:00The lab should have the blood test results in 24 hours.
42:03Excuse me.
42:09Apparently you're looking for me.
42:24So I
42:25So
42:35So
42:52So
42:53so faster
