00:24How many?
00:26Table for two, please.
00:27Meeting someone special?
00:28Very special.
00:29That's so sweet.
00:31Well, come on.
00:31Let's get you seated.
00:34Oh, wow.
00:35Some people can be so rude.
00:37No worries.
00:38Best seat in the house.
00:41I'll let you look that over while I get all that cleaned up.
00:44Excuse me.
00:46Do I look okay?
00:48I think you look dashing.
00:52Ooh-ooh-ooh.
00:57Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh!
01:00Oh.
01:00Oh!
01:01Oh!
01:15Guys, come on, let's go.
01:17Ludo's going to be here any second.
01:18Breakfast is ready.
01:20So you've inherited my judgmental stare.
01:23Not only Ava got that.
01:24Who happens to love toaster waffles?
01:26I'll have you know.
01:27Oh, toaster waffles.
01:28One of them does.
01:29I can't keep track.
01:30Hot, hot.
01:31Here.
01:31Hot.
01:33What are these?
01:34Just a little project I'm working on.
01:36Now that we have some walking around money,
01:38thought I'd hire a little part-time help.
01:40I recommend this one.
01:41Oh, yeah?
01:42She bleeds laser tag.
01:43Heightened peripheral vision.
01:44Fast reflexes.
01:45Important traits as Chloe starts walking.
01:47I feel like you picked her because she's pretty,
01:48but you're doing a good job of hiding it.
01:50Oh, I know her.
01:51She was a senior when I was a freshman.
01:53Yeah, what do you know about her?
01:54I don't know.
01:55Seniors don't talk to freshmen.
01:56Well, maybe dig around in our social media or something.
01:58I'm thinking about hiring somebody part-time.
02:00Oh, right.
02:02Back to work full-time today.
02:04That's right.
02:04And while I'm at work,
02:05I want to make sure that you guys
02:06are getting the support you need at home.
02:08Ludo needed some backup.
02:09I got him that.
02:10So tell me what you guys need.
02:11I'd still have to visit the morgue.
02:13I love that idea.
02:14You know, why don't you show me
02:15you can change Chloe's diaper
02:16without passing out from the smell,
02:18and we'll graduate to formaldehyde.
02:20What about you, Ava?
02:21I'd love to hear some news about my dad.
02:28I mean, it's okay.
02:29I know you haven't really had the chance
02:31to talk to Lieutenant Soto,
02:32but now that you're back,
02:33maybe she has some news?
02:36I'm definitely gonna look into it.
02:40But right now, I'm needed at a crime scene.
02:42You take over, okay?
02:43See if you can keep these guys alive
02:44until Ludo gets here.
02:45I love you.
02:46Goodbye.
02:47Pay me what you're gonna pay her.
02:48Oh, absolutely.
02:49You send that invoice to accounts payable, okay?
02:52Bye.
02:53Bye.
02:57I think what she means by accounts payable is...
02:59Yeah, yeah, I got it.
03:09Victim's name is Nathan Gould, 46.
03:12Address on his license
03:12puts him right in the neighborhood.
03:14Cafe hostess found him behind these dumpsters
03:16with a bag taped over his head.
03:17No money and credit cards are still here.
03:19No, phone too.
03:20Doesn't seem like a robbery.
03:21Maybe something more personal?
03:22Is he gonna make it?
03:23He was in cardiac arrest when we got here.
03:25No pulse, no respiration.
03:27Got a heartbeat back,
03:28but he hasn't regained consciousness.
03:30Ventilator's doing the breathing for him.
03:32So he could be brain dead.
03:34They'll be able to tell more at the hospital.
03:35We just don't know how long
03:36he was without oxygen before we landed.
03:38Poor guy's luck might have finally run out.
03:40Finally.
03:40You know this guy?
03:41Nathan was a frequent flyer.
03:43Rode with us more than once.
03:44History of suspicious injuries.
03:46Suspicious how?
03:47He told us he fell and broke his leg.
03:50Before that, it was burned his hand on the stove.
03:52Always just said he was clumsy.
03:54But you think someone else helped?
03:56Nathan was a good guy.
03:58Hope you find you did this.
04:02Is that a hostess final?
04:03Yeah, she's a little shaken,
04:04but I think she can answer some questions.
04:10He was so nervous.
04:12Said he was meeting someone special.
04:15That poor man.
04:17This is where he sat?
04:19I went inside to get some cleaning supplies,
04:21and when I came out, I thought he'd left.
04:24I found that pen,
04:25and I ran up the street to look for him.
04:27And things got busy,
04:28and I just forgot about cleaning up.
04:30I'm glad you did.
04:32Karadek, check this out.
04:34You ever spill a drink on yourself
04:36at one of these tables?
04:37Uh, I can't say I recall doing that.
04:38No.
04:39Of course you haven't.
04:40You like to put on a hazmat suit
04:41when you eat something crumbly.
04:42But just pretend for one second
04:43that you're a normal guy
04:44having a normal meal, okay?
04:49There you are,
04:50sipping on a refreshing drink
04:52on a hot summer day
04:53when, uh-oh,
04:54you spill it all over the table.
04:56It drips through the cracks
04:58and lands all over your unprotected pants.
05:05Mm-hmm.
05:06I know.
05:07But look at these spills.
05:09They all landed evenly.
05:10All over the ground,
05:11the chairs.
05:12There weren't even butts in the seat.
05:15The spills were staged.
05:17Someone knew Nathan was gonna be here
05:18and wanted to make sure
05:19he'd sit by the alley.
05:21What time would you say you seated him,
05:22and when did you find him in the alley?
05:23I guess he got here
05:25around a quarter to eight.
05:26Okay, so how'd you find the body?
05:28I heard ducks.
05:29Ducks?
05:30Ducks quacking somewhere in the alley.
05:33I went to look,
05:34and...
05:36and I found him.
05:38I think that's all we have for now.
05:40If there's any other questions,
05:41we'll be sure to let you know.
05:42Okay.
05:48What?
05:49I thought you were gonna launch
05:50into a comprehensive breakdown
05:51of the migratory patterns of ducks
05:53in the Los Angeles areas.
05:54Is that what you thought?
05:55Yeah.
05:55Mm-hmm.
05:56Well, it could,
05:56but that would be pointless
05:57because there were no ducks in that alley.
05:59Did you see signs of ducks?
06:01There was no poop.
06:02That's all ducks do.
06:03They poop.
06:03I don't know what she heard,
06:04but I don't think it was ducks.
06:05All right.
06:06We put a pen in the ducks.
06:08Vic's apartment's just a few blocks from here.
06:09If the paramedics were convinced
06:11someone was repeatedly hurting him,
06:12let's go find out who.
06:20Well, books on player stats,
06:22half a dozen team schedules.
06:24Nathan Gould really loved his sports.
06:26Oh, yeah?
06:27Who's his team?
06:28Enlighten me.
06:29Me?
06:30I can't even figure out
06:31what his favorite sport is.
06:32I've been all over this place.
06:33There's not a baseball cap or a jersey,
06:36not a banner on the wall.
06:37This place is wild, though.
06:38If anybody this obsessed with stats
06:40was actually into sports,
06:41do you know what it would look like in here?
06:48It looked like the inside of a stadium gift shop.
06:51But I did also notice
06:52this very impressive stack of overdue bills,
06:55a sport I'm very familiar with.
06:57Looks like Nathan was only a couple weeks away
06:59from having everything turned off.
07:00So you don't think Nathan loved sports.
07:01You think he loved gambling.
07:03And I don't think gambling loved him back,
07:05which could explain all those mysterious injuries
07:07that the paramedics were talking about.
07:09Nathan had fallen behind on his debts
07:11and to the kind of people who do worse
07:13than turn off the water when the payment's late.
07:17Hmm.
07:20What do you think it is?
07:22No, it could be a bank account
07:24or a passcode, international phone number.
07:32Okay, those scary guys you were just talking about,
07:34the debt collectors, they know home addresses.
07:44We're nice people.
07:45You could have just knocked.
07:49Call Lieutenant.
07:50Have a set backup.
07:58Okay, good?
08:04Aww.
08:21You've reached Lieutenant Soto.
08:23Please leave a message
08:24and I'll return your call as soon as I can.
08:29Hey!
08:30Cops!
08:47On your stomach!
08:49On your stomach!
08:50Hands behind your back.
09:07Marco DeLeon.
09:08Buddy ditched you pretty quick there, Marco.
09:10Did I hurt your feelings?
09:11He's not my buddy.
09:12Well, no, not after a stunt like that.
09:14I think what Marco means is they're just business associates.
09:16Isn't that right, Marco?
09:17Oh, looky here.
09:19Found something.
09:20So this is what we're thinking.
09:22Marco, you and your business associate work for whoever Nathan Gould owed money to.
09:25You or someone else who works for your boss
09:27slipped a plastic bag over Nathan's head this morning.
09:29He's still alive, by the way.
09:31Probably not gonna make it, though.
09:32Anyway, knowing that Nathan's never gonna make good on his debts,
09:35your boss sent you over here to recoup what you could and stolen valuables.
09:38Sound about right?
09:38Does he have anything else in his pocket?
09:40A weapon?
09:40A vial of something to inject?
09:42No.
09:43No.
09:44Why?
09:45What are you thinking?
09:46Thinking we may have misjudged our friend Marco here.
09:49And if I'm right about that,
09:50you are really gonna want to introduce us to your boss.
10:32Hey, Ray.
10:33We're here to ask some questions about Nathan Gould.
10:35I don't talk to cops.
10:37Works for me.
10:37I'm not a cop.
10:38And I wouldn't hate if this one didn't talk at all.
10:41Oh, my goodness.
10:42Is that the Whisper Shoe Ultra?
10:45Ugh.
10:45Electric card shuffler.
10:47Those are so cool.
10:49Does every table in here have one of those?
10:52Sure does.
10:53Oh, man.
10:53Wish my kid was here.
10:55He's going through a real card phase right now.
10:57Just the other day,
10:58he made me sit through an entire YouTube video
11:00on the ins and outs of how this machine works.
11:03Isn't that so random?
11:06Everybody out.
11:09Um...
11:09Now!
11:16Uh, what just happened?
11:18Well, it turns out these card shuffling machines
11:20aren't as random as people think they are.
11:23Right, Ray?
11:24Right?
11:29And that one, in particular, the Whisper Shoe Ultra, is really not random.
11:39In ways a disreputable house could use to stack the odds.
11:44Definitely not something Ray wants getting out there.
11:47You got stones.
11:48I'll give you that.
11:50Coming in here, lobbing accusations.
11:52Actually, Ray, I think you heard wrong.
11:54Well, thanks to my colleague here, we're pretty certain that you weren't involved in the attack
11:59on Mr. Gould.
11:59At least, not the one this morning.
12:01Yeah, see, when we found that empty syringe on Marco, we realized he was going to inject
12:05an air bubble into Nathan's bloodstream.
12:08So if Marco went there to kill Nathan then, that means you and your guys didn't attack
12:13Nathan earlier.
12:14Isn't that ironic?
12:15Hmm?
12:15Sending a guy to commit a murder proves that you didn't commit that murder.
12:21Send that one to Alanis, right?
12:23But that makes me wonder, why did you send Marco with just an empty syringe?
12:30I mean, injecting an air bubble into someone's bloodstream, that would make their death look
12:34like natural causes, right?
12:35But someone like you in the reputation business would want Nathan's death to send a message.
12:43Unless you had a way to profit off of Nathan's death, but only if it looked like you didn't
12:50kill him.
12:511-8-5-0-0-4-6-0-6.
12:53Does that number sound familiar?
12:57It does.
12:57It did sound familiar.
12:59Do you see that?
12:59That number we saw at Nathan's, that was Ray's social security number.
13:04You see, before the current randomized system, social security numbers were issued based on
13:09the state where the applicant lived and when the application came in.
13:15Now, I can roughly guess your age, you know, even with the 10 or so years that hard living
13:20put on you.
13:21And thanks to that photo over there of you marching in the mummers parade, which is an
13:24annual Philly thing, I'm guessing you're from Pennsylvania.
13:27Both of those make sense with the number that we found.
13:30But that begs the question, why would Nathan Gould have his loan shark social security number?
13:36But you hate talking to cops, so I'll answer this one for you.
13:40You need someone's social security number, and in many cases a notary, which would explain
13:44the ink smudge, to make them the beneficiary of your life insurance.
13:49So, in other words, Ray, you forced Nathan Gould to make you the beneficiary on his insurance
13:54policy as a way to pay off his loans.
13:56And then because you love to stack the deck, you sent Marco to make sure you collect.
14:00I didn't force Nathan to do anything.
14:01It was his idea.
14:03Really?
14:04Care to elaborate?
14:07I'm not getting the sense that he does.
14:09Hmm.
14:10Well, we want to know who else is mad enough to kill Nathan.
14:12We need to find out whose name he took off the life insurance.
14:15See you, Ray.
14:23Jessica, this is the old beneficiary form from your father's life insurance policy.
14:27We had the insurance company pull it for us.
14:29Until a few weeks ago, you were in line to collect $100,000 when your dad died.
14:33It made us wonder how you felt about it when he changed the form.
14:36This is the first I'm hearing my dad even had a life insurance policy, much less that my
14:40name was on it.
14:42Honestly, I'm surprised.
14:43Wasn't exactly good with money.
14:45Sounds like you two weren't close.
14:47He and my mom split when I was eight, over his gambling habits mostly, I think.
14:53Where's your mom now?
14:54Denver, my stepdad.
14:56I came back out here after school for work.
14:59I tried to keep in touch with my dad over the years, but they never followed through.
15:05Until a couple months ago, he reached out, out of the blue.
15:09He said he was going away soon and he wanted to make things right before he did.
15:15We've seen each other more in the last couple months than we have in decades.
15:19Jessica, when your dad was attacked, he was carrying a pin on him in a gift box.
15:24It was a ladybug.
15:25Does that mean anything to you?
15:29Oh, um, ladybug was his nickname for me as a kid.
15:40Because he said I was cute and good luck.
15:45Here you go.
15:47Well, then, if the gift was for you, you're the person your dad was expecting to meet this
15:51morning.
15:52Can I ask why you didn't show?
15:54I did show.
15:56He didn't.
15:58So you were at Dudley Market in Venice around 7.45 this morning?
16:02No, I was waiting for him at Ground Wire in Toluca Lake.
16:04That's where we were supposed to meet.
16:11Thanks, Jessica.
16:12We'll reach out when we know more.
16:16Nathan Gold's daughter?
16:17Yep, Jessica.
16:18We're checking her alibi, but we don't like her for it.
16:20What you got there?
16:21I just noticed the hotel across the street from the cafe had security cameras, so the
16:25tenant wanted me to check and see if it caught the attack, but nothing.
16:29Anything interesting?
16:30Well, Nathan and his daughter were estranged for most of her life.
16:33He'd reached out recently and reconciled.
16:36They were supposed to meet this morning, but for some reason they ended up at two different
16:39cafes.
16:40We're still figuring that out.
16:41One thing she mentioned, he told her he was planning to go away for a while.
16:45So did he book any airline tickets or hotel rooms that would let us know where he was
16:48going?
16:48I've been going through his credit card and bank statements.
16:51I haven't seen anything about travel plans.
16:56Well, this is weird.
16:58He had a subscription for a specialty dog food that he canceled a few weeks ago.
17:02We were just at his place.
17:03Did you see any signs of a dog?
17:04I did not.
17:06I mean, I guess it's possible the dog could have died, but what if he gave it away?
17:09That would make a lot more sense.
17:11Go on.
17:12Well, Nathan recently reconciled with his daughter, who he hasn't had any contact with for years.
17:17He settles his debts with a loan shark by signing over his life insurance, right?
17:21And then he tells his daughter he's going away, despite there being no evidence of travel.
17:26Put that together with giving your dog away, and I think this man was planning on taking
17:29his own life.
17:31That's what he meant by going away for a while.
17:33So somebody decides to kill the guy right when he's about to kill himself.
17:37But why?
17:49They didn't have any stevia.
17:50It's fine.
17:51Or oat milk.
17:52Less fine.
17:53I don't think he'd want their decaf, so.
17:58So you went with hot water.
18:00What a treat.
18:03This is the hospital's transplant coordinator.
18:05They're discussing organ donations.
18:07So he's officially brain-dead.
18:09Yeah.
18:14Some timing, huh?
18:15This poor woman.
18:16Just finally reconciles with her father.
18:21You okay?
18:23Just, I don't know, seem a little quiet?
18:25For you?
18:28Ava asked if there was any news about her dad.
18:30You haven't told her about Arthur yet, huh?
18:32No.
18:33Well, even I've heard her say she wants you to treat her like a grown-up.
18:37Maybe take her at her word.
18:47You think he was going to take his own life?
18:50You didn't know.
18:53Oh.
18:55Emmett.
18:57His dog.
18:58Dad asked me to take care of him while he traveled.
19:02Why did he want to die?
19:04It's just a theory right now, but we think he actually may have been protecting you.
19:08Your dad owed money to some loan sharks.
19:10They would have kept hurting him eventually.
19:12Probably a lot worse.
19:13Knowing how these people operate, we'd think that maybe they threatened to come after you next.
19:16So, by changing his life insurance policy and offering to end his own life,
19:20we think he was making sure you didn't end up paying for his sins.
19:22Yeah.
19:23Was your dad close with anyone he would have talked to about this?
19:27We had barely gotten to know each other again.
19:30I just, I don't know enough about his life to say.
19:35Did your dad know you were pregnant?
19:39How did you know?
19:40Oh, well, the smells in here are driving you nuts.
19:42I see that saltine peeking out of your purse and you've got ginger tea.
19:46Been there a few times.
19:49Congratulations.
19:53I told him the last time we saw each other.
19:57And he was so excited.
20:00We joked about how much fun it is to have a ton of doctor visits.
20:04It was the one thing we bonded over.
20:07He told you about his injuries?
20:09Um, his injuries?
20:10No, no.
20:10The visits that he talked about were to a cardiologist.
20:13He said he recently had a whole series of scans and tests.
20:17Did he mention any specific symptoms?
20:18No.
20:19If anything, it was the opposite.
20:21He went out of his way to make sure I knew that everything was fine.
20:26Why would someone who's fine put themselves through a series of tests?
20:37Oh, we're like 20 minutes early.
20:39I didn't even realize.
20:39I know.
20:40So impressed.
20:41I'm not sure how we pulled that off.
20:42I like this look on us.
20:43I can get some alone time in the hydroponics lab before homeroom.
20:47Bye.
20:47Love you.
20:48Bye.
20:48Have a good day.
20:49The joys of being a dweeb.
20:51Not sure what I'm supposed to do, but I'll manage.
20:55Ava.
20:56Why don't you hang back for a second?
21:00I need to talk to you about something.
21:04So, at least as of a few weeks ago, my dad was living in Nevada?
21:08According to this Arthur guy.
21:10Did he say how long he was living there for?
21:13No.
21:16And all we know about Arthur is that he's a landscaper?
21:19I guess so.
21:21I know.
21:21It's not a lot of information, and we're going to keep digging around.
21:24I just didn't want to fill you in too early, because I didn't want you to get your hopes
21:27up, or you let down.
21:29No, I want you to sell me everything.
21:31I know you do.
21:32I heard you, so that's why I was filling you in on this.
21:39Oh, I got to go to work.
21:42Are you okay?
21:43Yeah, I'm fine.
21:44Are you sure?
21:45Because if not, I'll just tell him I'm not coming in today.
21:47You're going to play hooky.
21:47Mom, it's okay.
21:48I'm fine.
21:50Okay.
21:51I love you.
21:52I love you.
21:58Can you find your way to school from here?
22:00Yeah, Mom.
22:01I'll plug it in a Waze.
22:22Hey, Daphne, you got Nathan Gould's phone?
22:24Yep, TID unlocked it.
22:26Nathan got an email the night before the attack, claiming to be from his daughter Jessica, changing
22:30their meeting to 7.45 at the cafe in Venice.
22:32Let me guess, this is not Jessica's email address.
22:34I checked, it's a fake.
22:35Yeah, that would explain why Nathan and Jessica ended up sitting at different cafes.
22:38Whoever did this wanted Nathan at that cafe, and alone.
22:41Since Nathan and Jessica had just reconciled, he might not have even noticed the email came
22:45from an unknown address.
22:50Um, Morgan, what are you doing?
22:52There's an alarm set on Nathan's phone for 8.01 a.m.
22:54And the ringtone is set to the duck sound.
22:58That's what the cafe hostess heard in the alleyway.
23:01The killer wanted somebody to find his body around 8 o'clock in the morning.
23:06Long enough after the attack to make sure he was brain dead, but soon enough to make sure
23:10his organs were still viable.
23:12I think Nathan Gould was killed for his heart.
23:26Robbed again.
23:27Call the cops.
23:29Good timing.
23:31Cops are here.
23:33Sorry, I didn't see you.
23:34You were saying something about being robbed?
23:36He's kidding about calling the cops.
23:38People steal things off the bus when we're on calls.
23:40Even more so lately with all the drug supply shortages.
23:43We just write it up.
23:45But it's not the controlled stuff.
23:46That's locked up.
23:47It's not the controlled stuff, right?
23:50Albuterol.
23:51Asthma men.
23:51We got more in back of the house.
23:53Is there something we can help you with?
23:55We had some questions about the Nathan Gould call.
23:57We're hoping you can walk us through the timeline.
23:59Sure.
24:00Shoot.
24:01Well, the 9-1-1 call, it came in around 8.01, 8.02.
24:04Is that about right?
24:04Yeah, sounds right.
24:05Just after our shift started, which was at 8.
24:07And how long after that for you to arrive on scene?
24:09About five minutes.
24:10Café's close.
24:11And maybe another three minutes after that to get a heartbeat back.
24:15One last question, Taduzzi.
24:18How long would a victim have to be down in order to guarantee they'd be brain dead?
24:2511 minutes.
24:27Give or take.
24:30Appreciate it.
24:46You were right.
24:48Of course I was right.
24:50Also, you should think about stocking up on albuterol if you need it.
24:52They're having a theft problem, apparently.
24:54I'm all good there, but thank you.
24:57Where's Soto?
24:57But she stayed back at the hospital to ask a few more questions.
25:01This attack was time to turn Nathan Gould into the perfect organ donor.
25:04He was down for at least 11 minutes before help arrived.
25:06I've been thinking about it.
25:07I think there's more.
25:09Nathan was in on it.
25:10The cardiac workup.
25:12He was making sure his heart was in good shape.
25:13Right.
25:13We already knew that he was planning on killing himself.
25:16Nathan had arranged with someone to give them his heart.
25:17But then he found out he was going to become a grandfather, and he changed his mind,
25:20so the killer had to kill him.
25:22Unbelievable.
25:26Everything okay?
25:27Yeah.
25:28You're not going to blast the old-timey car horn, are you?
25:30More than one novelty ringtone per case?
25:32I don't think so.
25:33That would be overkill.
25:34Fair enough.
25:35Because it seems to me our next question is, who is Nathan Gould's heart going to?
25:39We find them.
25:40I think we find our killer.
25:46Excuse me.
25:47Hi.
25:48I work with the police.
25:49I saw you talking to Jessica Gould yesterday about her father's organ donations.
25:53Yes, I remember you.
25:54Yeah.
25:54Has it been decided where Nathan's heart's going yet?
25:59I'm sorry.
26:00I wouldn't know.
26:01Aren't you the hospital's transplant coordinator?
26:04And you're on the committee, right?
26:05Yeah, they call you guys the God Committee.
26:07You literally get to decide who lives and who dies.
26:09If you can't answer our questions, then who can?
26:13I, I meant I don't know off the top of my head.
26:16Make an appointment with my office and I'll look it up for you.
26:20Okay?
26:23Any luck?
26:25I didn't realize a question about where a donor heart was going was scary, but that woman seemed afraid to
26:29answer.
26:29Same deal with the transplant surgeon.
26:31I get the feeling these guys are circling the wagons.
26:32As if someone with a lot of pull is keeping them quiet.
26:35Because maybe they want the heart for themselves.
26:37One thing I did find out, Jessica Gould has given her consent.
26:40So Nathan's set to be taken off life support tomorrow.
26:42Organs will be harvested then.
26:43Meaning if we're right and someone is forcing the hospital to give them the heart.
26:47It'd be good to find out who first.
26:49Hello?
26:51What?
26:52Where is she?
26:55I'll be right there.
26:57Ava just got arrested.
27:10What the hell happened?
27:11Are you okay?
27:13You can uncut for now, please.
27:14Can't do that.
27:15Building owner caught her vandalizing his property.
27:19Ava, it's one of your dad's murals.
27:21Yeah, I'm aware.
27:24Oh, honey, I am so sorry.
27:25Just leave me alone, okay?
27:29Okay.
27:31So what happens now?
27:32We take her in.
27:33No, listen, that's not necessary, all right?
27:36Her dad painted that.
27:37This is a family matter.
27:38I will take care of it.
27:39Tell that to the owner.
27:40Guy wants to press charges.
27:42That's the owner?
27:43How about this?
27:43I go smooth it over with him.
27:44We assure him the young lady's going to come back, clean this mess up later.
27:47And forget it ever happened.
27:48No paperwork for you.
27:49Sorry, detective.
27:51If the girl really wanted to clean this up, she had her chance before you got here.
27:54Come on, on your feet.
27:55No, don't touch my daughter, okay?
27:57Just don't put your hands on her.
27:57Morgan, it's all right.
27:58I know it's all right.
27:59I'm all right.
27:59Ma'am.
28:00Don't call me ma'am, okay, sir?
28:01Don't call me ma'am right now.
28:02I don't need that from you.
28:03What I need from you is to understand that giving a 15-year-old girl a criminal record over
28:08some paint is completely insane.
28:10Can we all agree on that?
28:11I mean, it's fake!
28:12Hey!
28:23Can we not hear?
28:28Because of her?
28:30Ava, that woman has her own problems to deal with.
28:35No offense.
28:37Yeah.
28:39Thanks, Gina.
28:40You got her.
28:45Treat her like a grown-up, he said.
28:49You're welcome.
29:11Hi.
29:14I'm sorry.
29:17Oh, buddy.
29:19Come here.
29:20I'm sorry.
29:22I messed up.
29:24Sometimes I forget that there's a right time to drop huge information on someone and a wrong
29:28time, which would be right before you send her off to school.
29:34It wasn't that.
29:36I know I said I wanted to know everything, but I was wrong.
29:41This was way worse than not knowing.
29:43What do you mean?
29:44My dad's been alive this whole time, living his life.
29:48One stayed over.
29:50And with everything you've been finding out, I actually let myself believe he cared, that
29:58he didn't abandon us.
29:59I still believe that.
30:00How?
30:01Because I know who your dad was.
30:02And we haven't heard his side of the story yet, you know?
30:05Maybe there's a reason that he's had to stay away my whole life.
30:10I can't, for the life of me, wrap my mind around what that reason would be.
30:14But the one thing I do know is that he loved you more than anything in the whole world.
30:20Okay.
30:22You know, I'm actually working on a case right now where this father was estranged from his
30:27daughter.
30:28And once he came back into the picture, the only thing he cared about was making it right.
30:35And that's what all this is about?
30:38Part of it, I'm looking for somebody who needs a heart transplant.
30:43Somebody powerful enough to intimidate an entire hospital to get it.
30:48So I figured I'd start with their biggest donors.
30:51These guys.
30:52Mm-hmm.
30:53You were looking at a who's who of L.A. philanthropy.
30:59What about him?
31:01Carson Wood.
31:02Looks like he's a big producer.
31:04This photo wasn't from that premiere.
31:06Do you see who's behind him?
31:08Uh-huh.
31:09Oh, my God.
31:10Mom, seriously, do you live under a rock?
31:12She's an actress.
31:12She's in, like, everything.
31:14Right.
31:14Okay.
31:15Anyway, this whole thing went down about this dress.
31:18She dissed the designer, and they were going back and forth for, like, weeks.
31:21But that happened, like, over a year ago.
31:24Really?
31:25Mm-hmm.
31:26Look at you.
31:28And you didn't think you were anything like me.
31:30I mean, first we get arrested together.
31:33Okay.
31:34Okay.
31:36Can we look this guy up?
31:38Yeah.
31:40Let's see.
31:43There he is.
31:46Old.
31:48Old.
31:50Oh, all these are old.
31:51Yeah, that one's definitely old.
31:52Okay, so if you're right, this guy hasn't been seen in public for months, but he's posting
31:57old pictures as if they're recent.
32:00Shady?
32:00Might be more than shady.
32:02Maybe he's been hiding the fact that he's sick.
32:13Everything good with Morgan?
32:14Yeah.
32:14She had to visit Ava's school, clear up a little truancy thing yesterday.
32:17What's going on here?
32:18Showed up just as Carson Wood was about to head out.
32:21I suggested he wait, because people didn't like that.
32:23So you decided to block the driveway?
32:25Things were getting a little tense.
32:26Copy that.
32:29Carson Wood, Detectives Karadek and Forrester, LAPD.
32:32Mind if we ask you a few questions?
32:33If I get you the hell out of my driveway, ask away.
32:36Make it quick.
32:38Does the name Nathan Gould mean anything to you?
32:41Should it?
32:42He's a murder victim whose death we're investigating.
32:44Never heard of him.
32:46P.S.
32:46I don't know if you looked at me, but I'm literally on my way to get a heart transplant.
32:50I'm not running around killing people.
32:53Well, uh, now that you mention it, one of the reasons we're here is to see if you're in the
32:56market for a new heart, sir.
32:57We believe Mr. Gould was killed so that his would be available for transplant.
33:01As for killing him yourself, I think you could hire some people to do it.
33:03Can't argue with that.
33:05Hey, Karadek.
33:06The GPS is set for the airport, not St. Clair's.
33:10Mr. Wood, would we be right that you pressured St. Clair's Hospital to bump you to the top of their
33:14transplant list?
33:14Maybe I did, maybe I didn't.
33:16Doesn't matter.
33:17Got a better heart waiting for me in Utah.
33:19Wait, so you're saying you don't want Nathan Gould's heart?
33:22Is that the one at St. Clair's?
33:24Doc said it wasn't a great match.
33:26Technical stuff.
33:27Not my department.
33:28And if that concludes our business, I'd appreciate you getting out of the way.
33:32Time's the one thing I don't have.
33:38Hey, how'd it go with the school?
33:39I convinced him that 30 minutes in a holding cell can serve as detention, but whatever, that's not why I
33:43called.
33:44I got a message from Soto.
33:45St. Clair's Hospital called.
33:47Oh, yeah, yeah, we know.
33:48Carson Wood didn't even need Nathan's heart.
33:50Guessing it got put back into the system?
33:52Well, it would have, but it's been stolen.
33:54How does someone steal a heart?
33:56That's what we're trying to figure out.
33:57Hospitals said everything went normally with the organ removal.
33:59They took the heart out of Nathan.
34:00They packed it for transport.
34:01That's when it was supposed to be driven to another hospital.
34:03But that's when everyone lost track of it.
34:05Someone with knowledge of the process intercepted the heart on its way out of the building.
34:09So far, we haven't spotted anything on the hospital surveillance, but we're still looking.
34:12How much time can pass between taking out a heart and putting it into someone else's?
34:16Hospital says six hours tops, two of which have already passed.
34:19Then that's how much time we have.
34:22Someone this killer cares about is about to get a heart transplant,
34:25which means our best chance to find the killer is while that person is still in a hospital bed.
34:30After the patient's safe and sound, our guy could be in the wind.
34:32Now, it felt like the transplant coordinator was hiding things yesterday.
34:36Let's have her back in for a conversation.
34:38Now that the pressure's off from Wood, maybe she'll be more forthcoming.
34:43I'm starting to feel like I should have a lawyer.
34:46No, that's definitely a way you could go, given that we could charge you with obstructing an investigation.
34:49You might lose your job, so lawyering up might be the smart move.
34:52But the truth is we're not looking to come after you.
34:55We need to find Nathan Gould's killer, and we need to find him now.
34:59If you help us, we'd be inclined to forget your role in all of this.
35:02My role in this, I didn't have a choice.
35:06If we didn't find Mr. Wood a heart, he would have cut off millions in funding.
35:12That's money we use to save countless lives.
35:16We're not here to judge.
35:22Okay.
35:23We have reason to believe that at one point, Nathan Gould and his killer were cooperating.
35:27Let's say Carson Wood never interfered.
35:29Who would have gotten the heart then?
35:31Nathan Gould left behind a directed donation.
35:35He named the person he wanted his heart to go to.
35:38And when Mr. Wood pressured us to find him a heart,
35:43the committee and I, we invalidated Mr. Gould's directive.
35:48Whose name was on the directed donation?
35:51I don't know.
35:53I deleted any record on the hospital system.
35:56You deleted the intended recipient's name, and you don't even remember who it was?
36:00It's not that I don't remember.
36:03I didn't even look.
36:05That person is something I don't want to think about.
36:11So their name should still be on the transplant list, right?
36:16Yeah.
36:18Is this the information we got from the transplant coordinator?
36:20The UNOS database?
36:21Yes.
36:22You're looking at everyone waiting on a heart in the southwestern United States.
36:25Good, because that heart only has about two hours of viability left.
36:27How are we going to narrow this down?
36:41No.
36:41Mm-mm.
36:42Nope.
36:43Okay.
36:45This one, this one, this one.
36:49I'll live too far away to get the heart in time.
36:52These are the wrong blood type.
36:55And since a key factor in a heart match is body size, you're out.
37:00You're out.
37:01You are definitely out.
37:03Here we go.
37:05Good work, Morgan.
37:06You can just reach out to each of these hospitals.
37:36No, we won't have to.
37:52You can just reach out to each other.
37:58So when Nathan decided to end his life,
38:00he offered to direct his heart to Christopher's mother.
38:02But then Nathan changed his mind.
38:04Which meant Christopher had to take matters into his own hands.
38:07He staged the messy tables to make sure that Nathan sat exactly where he wanted him to.
38:13And then he dragged his body into the alley.
38:23And he set an alarm to make sure that someone would find Nathan at exactly the right time.
38:32This even explains the where and when.
38:34Close enough to Christopher's firehouse so we could show up to his shift before the call came in and give
38:37himself an alibi.
38:38And he could make sure that he was the paramedic who was taking the call.
38:41He did all this to save his dying mother.
38:44Well, I'll have Unis posted to stop Christopher and give Eden General a heads up.
38:50We're gonna stop her from getting the heart, aren't we?
39:05I had no idea.
39:08I swear.
39:09I was only told that the heart was available.
39:14Does he know that you know?
39:17He dropped off the heart along with the paperwork saying it was for you and he left.
39:21Mr. Gould's directed donation was still on file here too.
39:24We had the hospital text Christopher as your next of kin and say they needed him to come back, which
39:28he did.
39:29We have him in custody now.
39:32He's gonna go to prison, isn't he?
39:35Mom.
39:36You're gonna let me see him?
39:40Please.
39:41Please.
39:43Please.
39:45Please.
39:46Please.
39:47I'll have my officers bring him in.
39:51Of course, you will go back on the waiting list for another heart.
39:55I really...
39:56I don't really care about them now.
40:07Oh, my.
40:10My sweet boy.
40:13Hey, Mom.
40:15Hey, sweetheart.
40:17Come here.
40:18I'm sorry.
40:20Oh, I'm so sorry.
40:22I'm so sorry.
40:23I love you so much.
40:25I love you too.
40:26I tried.
40:28I tried.
40:33I tried.
40:43Police checks are all done with this.
40:46I think your dad meant to give it to you.
40:53Actually, he already gave me one just like it.
40:57I think he meant to give this one to her.
41:03Can I ask you a question?
41:06Your dad was absent your whole life, and you let him back in.
41:10How did you do that?
41:14Guess that's how my mom raised me.
41:19You take care.
41:32Angela Lee, 17, congenital defect, got progressively worse.
41:38Eventually, the docs couldn't repair it.
41:42She got the heart.
41:43I never loved you, falling just the way you were.
41:52See you tomorrow, Gilroy.
41:59Bye.
42:06Bye.
42:07Bye.
42:07I feel it, I feel it, I feel it, I feel it
42:55So faster!
42:58Ha!
