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.
00:50Please do.
00:51Okay.
00:51Oh-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o
00:54-o-o webu.
00:55Ooh!
01:15Guys, come on, let's go.
01:17Ludo's gonna be here any second. Breakfast is ready.
01:20So you've inherited my judgmental stare.
01:23But only Eva got that. Who happens to love toaster waffles?
01:26I'll have you know.
01:27Mmm, toaster waffles.
01:28One of them does. I can't keep track.
01:30Hot, hot. Here.
01:33What are these? Just 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-tied. Heightened peripheral vision.
01:44Fast reflexes. Important 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. Seniors 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.
02:03That'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?
02:43So 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
02:50to Accounts Payables, okay?
02:52Bye.
02:53Bye.
02:57I think what she means by Accounts Payables is...
02:59Yeah, yeah, yeah.
02:59I got it.
03:08The victim's name is Nathan Gould, 46.
03:12Address on his license.
03:13Puts 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 two.
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.
03:26No pulse, no respiration.
03:27Got a heartbeat back,
03:28but he hasn't regained consciousness.
03:30The ventilator'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 he was
03:36without 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 else?
03:56Nathan was a good guy.
03:58Hope you find you did this.
04:02Is that a hostess panel?
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?
04:18Yeah.
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, and I ran up the street to look for him.
04:27And things got busy, and 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 at one of these tables?
04:37Uh, I can't say I recall doing that, no.
04:39Of course you haven't.
04:40You like to put on a hazmat suit when you eat something crumbly.
04:42But just pretend for one second that you're a normal guy
04:44having a normal meal, okay?
04:49There you are, sipping on a refreshing drink
04:52on a hot summer day when, 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. I 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 he'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 around 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, and...
05:37and 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 into
05:50a comprehensive breakdown
05:51of the migratory patterns of ducks
05:53in the Los Angeles areas.
05:54Is that what you thought?
05:55Yeah.
05:56Well, it could.
05:56But that would be pointless
05:57because there were no ducks in that alley.
06:00Did 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.
06:06All right.
06:06We put a pen in the ducks.
06:08Vic's apartment's just a few blocks from here.
06:10If 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?
06:47Yeah!
06:48It looked like the inside
06:49of 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
07:12and 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,
07:25international phone number.
07:32Okay, those scary guys you were just talking about?
07:34The debt collectors?
07:35They know home addresses?
07:44We're nice people.
07:45You could have just knocked.
07:46Oh!
07:47Oh!
07:49Call the lieutenant!
07:50Have a set backup!
07:51Get up!
07:57Go!
07:59You okay?
08:00Good?
08:21You've reached Lieutenant Soto, please leave a message and I'll return your call as soon as I can.
08:30Hey! Cops!
08:47On your stomach! On your stomach! Hands behind your back!
08:56On your stomach!
09:04Uh-huh.
09:06Marco De Leon. Buddy ditched you pretty quick there, Marco. Did 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. Isn't that right, Marco?
09:17Oh, looky here. Found something.
09:20So this is what we're thinking, Marco. You and your business associate work for whoever Nathan Gould owed money to.
09:25And you or someone else who works for your boss slipped a plastic bag over Nathan's head this morning.
09:29He's still alive, by the way. Probably not gonna make it, though.
09:32Anyway, knowing that Nathan's never gonna make good on his debts, your boss sent you over here to recoup what
09:36you could in stolen valuables.
09:37Sound about right?
09:38Does he have anything else in his pocket? A weapon? A vial of something to inject?
09:42No.
09:43No. Why? What are you thinking?
09:46Thinking we may have misjudged our friend Marco here.
09:49And if I'm right about that, you are really gonna wanna introduce us to your boss.
09:52.
09:54.
10:13.
10:32Hey, Ray, we're here to ask some questions about Nathan Gould.
10:35I don't talk to cops.
10:37Works for me. I'm not a cop.
10:38And I wouldn't hate if this one didn't talk at all.
10:41Oh, my goodness.
10:43Is that the Whisper Shoe Ultra?
10:45Ah, electric card shuffler.
10:47Those are so cool.
10:49Does every table in here have one of those?
10:51Sure does.
10:53Oh, man, I wish my kid was here.
10:54He's going through a real card phase right now.
10:57Just the other day, he 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.
11:09Now!
11:16Uh, what just happened?
11:18Well, it turns out these card shuffling machines aren't as random as people think they are.
11:23Right, Ray?
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.
11:46You got stones.
11:48I'll give you that.
11:50Coming in here, lobbing accusations.
11:52Actually, Ray, I think you heard wrong.
11:54Thanks to my colleague here.
11:56We're pretty certain that you weren't involved in the attack on Mr. Gould.
11:59At least, not the one this morning.
12:01Yeah, see, when we found that empty syringe on Marco,
12:04we realized he was going to inject an air bubble into Nathan's bloodstream.
12:08So if Marco went there to kill Nathan then,
12:11that means you and your guys didn't attack Nathan earlier.
12:14Isn't that ironic?
12:15Hmm?
12:16Sending a guy to commit a murder proves that you didn't commit that murder.
12:20Send that one to Alanis.
12:22Right?
12:23But that makes me wonder,
12:25why did you send Marco with just an empty syringe?
12:29I mean, injecting an air bubble into someone's bloodstream,
12:33that would make their death look like natural causes, right?
12:35But someone like you in the reputation business
12:39would want Nathan's death to send a message.
12:43Unless you had a way to profit off of Nathan's death,
12:46but only if it looked like you didn't kill him.
12:52185-004-606, does 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,
13:00that was Ray's social security number.
13:04You see, before the current randomized system,
13:07social security numbers were issued based on the state
13:09where the applicant lived and when the application came in.
13:15Now, I can roughly guess your age,
13:17you know, even with the 10 or so years
13:19that hard living put on you.
13:21And thanks to that photo over there
13:22of you marching in the Mummers parade,
13:24which is an annual Philly thing,
13:26saying, I'm guessing you're from Pennsylvania.
13:27Both of us make sense with the number that we found.
13:30But that begs the question,
13:32why would Nathan Gould have his loan shark social security number?
13:36But you hate talking to cops,
13:38so I'll answer this one for you.
13:39You need someone's social security number,
13:41and in many cases a notary,
13:43which would explain the ink smudge,
13:45to make them the beneficiary of your life insurance.
13:49So, in other words, Ray,
13:51you forced Nathan Gould
13:52to make you the beneficiary on his insurance policy
13:54as a way to pay off his loans.
13:56And then because you love to stack the deck,
13:58you 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.
14:22Jessica, this is the old beneficiary form
14:26from your father's life insurance policy.
14:27We had the insurance company pull it for us.
14:29Until a few weeks ago,
14:31you were in line to collect $100,000 when your dad died.
14:33Made 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,
14:40much less that my name 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.
14:50Over his gambling habits, mostly.
14:52I 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,
15:03but 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.
15:15And we'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?
15:28Oh, um, ladybug was his nickname for me as a kid.
15:39Because he said I was cute and good luck.
15:45Here you go.
15:47Well, then, if the gift was for you,
15:50you're the person your dad was expecting to meet this morning.
15:52Can I ask why you didn't show?
15:54I did show. He didn't.
15:58So you were at Dudley Market in Venice around 7.45 this morning?
16:01No, I was waiting for him at Ground Wire in Toluca Lake.
16:04That's where we were supposed to meet.
16:11Thanks, Jessica. We'll reach out when we know more.
16:16Nathan Gould'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,
16:25so the lieutenant 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,
16:37but for some reason they ended up at two different cafes.
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 going?
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.
17:02Did you see any signs of a dog?
17:04I did not.
17:06I mean, I guess it's possible the dog could have died,
17:08but 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,
17:15who 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,
17:23despite there being no evidence of travel.
17:26Put that together with giving your dog away,
17:28and I think this man was planning on taking his 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.
17:52That's 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 discussing organ donations.
18:07So he's officially brain-dead.
18:09Yeah.
18:13Oh, some timing, huh?
18:15This poor woman just finally reconciles with her father.
18:21You okay?
18:23You just, I don't know, seem a little quiet for you?
18:27Ava asked if there was any news about her dad.
18:29You 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.
18:36Maybe 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, was 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.
19:51Uh, I told him the last time we saw each other and 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.
20:10Uh, the 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 he 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 we'll manage.
20:55Ava.
20:56Why don't you hang back for a second?
21:00We need to talk to you about something.
21:03So, at least as of a few weeks ago, my dad was living in Nevada, according to this Arthur
21:09guy.
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?
21:20I 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.
21:30I want you to tell 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 ways.
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 745 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., and the ringtone is set to the duck
22:57sound.
22:58That's what the cafe host has heard in the alleyway.
23:01The killer wanted somebody to find his body around 8 o'clock in the morning, long enough
23:06after the attack to make sure he was brain dead, but soon enough to make sure his organs were
23:11still 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.
23:43You 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, is 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.
24:10CafƩ'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, give 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?
24:58She stayed back at the hospital to ask a few more questions.
25:01This attack was timed 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,
25:37who 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.
25:52Yes, I remember you.
25:54Yeah.
25:54Has it been decided where Nathan's heart's going yet?
25:59I'm, uh, sorry.
26:00I wouldn't know.
26:02Aren'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,
26:28but that woman seemed afraid to answer.
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.
26:35Hmm.
26:36Because maybe they want the heart for themselves.
26:38One 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.
27:09What the hell happened?
27:11Are you okay?
27:13You can uncut her 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.
27:21I'm aware.
27:24Oh, honey.
27:25I am so sorry.
27:25Just leave me alone, okay?
27:29Okay.
27:31So what happens now?
27:32We take her in.
27:33No.
27:34Listen, 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?
27:42How 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, and forget
27:48it 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.
27:54On your feet.
27:55No, don't touch my daughter, okay?
27:57Just don't put your hands on.
27:57Morgan, it's all right.
27:58I know it's all right.
27:59I'm all right.
28:00Ma'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
28:07over some paint is completely insane.
28:10Can we all agree on that?
28:11I mean, it's fake!
28:23Ava.
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.
28:38Thanks, Gina.
28:39You got it.
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.
29:39But I was wrong.
29:41I was wrong.
29:41This was way worse than not knowing.
29:43What do you mean?
29:44My dad's been alive this whole time.
29:49I've been alive.
29:53I'm sorry.
29:58I was wrong.
30:00I don't know.
30:06He had to be sick.
30:15I'm sorry.
30:16more than anything in the whole world okay you know i'm actually working on a case right now
30:24where this father was estranged from his daughter and once he came back into the picture
30:31the only thing he cared about was making it right and 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 so i figured i'd start with
30:50their biggest donors these guys mm-hmm you were looking at a who's who of la philanthropy
30:59what about him carson wood looks like he's a big producer
31:04this photo wasn't from that premiere do you see who's behind him uh-huh oh my god mom seriously
31:11do you live under a rock she's an actress she's in like everything right okay anyway this whole
31:16thing went down about this dress she dissed the designer and they were going back and forth for
31:21like weeks but that happened like over a year ago really look at you and you didn't think you were
31:29anything like me i mean first we get arrested together okay okay can we look this guy up yeah
31:40let's see
31:43there he is
31:46old
31:49old oh all these are yeah that one's definitely old okay so if you're right
31:54this guy hasn't been seen in public for months but he's posting old pictures
31:57as if they're recent shady might be more than shady maybe he's been hiding the fact that he's sick
32:12all right
32:13everything good with morgan yeah she had to visit ava's school clear up a little truancy thing
32:16yesterday what's going on here showed up just as carson wood was about to head out
32:20i suggested he wait because people didn't like that so you decided to block the driveway
32:24things are getting a little tense copy that
32:29carson wood detectives karadek and forrester lapd mind if we ask you a few questions to get you the
32:34hell out of my driveway ask away make it quick does the name nathan gould mean anything to you
32:41should it he's a murder victim whose death we're investigating never heard of him
32:45p.s i don't know if you looked at me but i'm literally on my way to get a heart
32:50transplant i'm not
32:51running around killing people well uh now that you mention it one of the reasons we're here is
32:56to see if you're in the market for a new heart sir we believe mr gould was killed so that
32:59his would
32:59be available for transplant as for killing him yourself i think you could hire some people to do
33:03it can't argue with that hey karadek the gps is set for the airport not saint claire's mr wood would
33:11we be right that you pressured saint claire's hospital to bump you to the top of their transplant list
33:14maybe i did maybe i didn't doesn't matter got a better heart waiting for me in utah
33:19wait so you're saying you don't want nathan gould's heart is that the one at saint claire's doc
33:24said it wasn't a great match technical stuff not my department and if that concludes our business
33:30i'd appreciate you getting out of the way time's the one thing i don't have
33:38hey how'd it go with the school i convinced him that 30 minutes in a holding cell can serve as
33:42detention but whatever that's not why i called i got a message from soto st claire's hospital called
33:46oh yeah yeah we know carson wood didn't even need nathan's heart guessing it got put back into the
33:51system well it would have but it's been stolen how does someone steal a heart that's what we're
33:56trying to figure out hospital said everything went normally with the organ removal they took the
34:00heart out of nathan they packed up a transport that's when it was supposed to be driven to another
34:03hospital but that's when everyone lost track of it someone with knowledge of the process intercepted
34:07the heart on its way out of the building so far we haven't spotted anything on the hospital
34:10surveillance but we're still looking how much time can pass between taking out a heart and putting it into
34:15someone else hospital says six hours tops two of which have already passed and that's how much time
34:20we have someone this killer cares about is about to get a heart transplant which means our best chance
34:26to find the killer is while that person is still in a hospital bed after the patient's safe and sound
34:31our guy could be in the wind now it felt like the transplant coordinator was hiding things yesterday
34:36let's have her back in for a conversation now that the pressure's off from wood maybe she'll be more
34:41forthcoming i'm starting to feel like i should have a lawyer no that's definitely where you could go
34:47given that we could charge you with obstructing an investigation you might lose your job so lawyering
34:51up might be the smart move but the truth is we're not looking to come after you we need to
34:56find nathan
34:57gould's killer and we need to find him now if you help us we'd be inclined to forget your role
35:01in all of
35:01us my role in this i didn't have a choice if we didn't find mr wood a heart he would
35:10have cut off
35:11millions in funding that's money we use to save countless lives who are not here to judge
35:22okay we have reason to believe that at one point nathan gould and his killer were cooperating let's say
35:28carson wood never interfered who would have gotten the heart then nathan gould left behind a directed
35:34donation he named the person he wanted his heart to go to and when mr wood pressured us to find
35:41him a
35:41heart the committee and i we invalidated mr gould's directive whose name was on the directed donation i
35:52don't know i deleted any record on the hospital system you deleted the intended recipient's name
35:58and you don't even remember who it was it's not that i don't remember i didn't even look that person
36:06is something i don't want to think about
36:11so their name should still be on the transplant list right
36:17yeah is this the information we got from the transplant coordinator the unos database yes
36:22you're looking at everyone waiting on a heart in the southwestern united states good because that
36:25heart only has about two hours of viability left how are we going to narrow this down
36:43nope okay this one this one this one i'll live too far away to get the heart in time
36:52these are the wrong blood type and since a key factor in a heart match is body size
36:59you're out you're out you are definitely out
37:03here we go hey good work morgan you can just reach out to each of these hospitals we won't have
37:08to
37:10i gotta check something real quick but if i'm right i know where to find the killer
37:20rosemary caferi 70 years old at eaton general in end-stage heart failure she's the one getting
37:25the heart how did you know because she was the only one left whose profile said she was on albuterol
37:32yeah paramedics said people were stealing albuterol because of a drug shortage i don't doubt that there
37:36was a drug shortage but people were not stealing albuterol one of the paramedics was for his mother
37:41that's what you had to check that's right caferi was rosemary's second husband's last name her first
37:46husband was a bishop just like one of our paramedics christopher bishop he's rosemary's son
37:53christopher and nathan knew each other because of nathan's injuries they must have shared their
37:57struggles with each other so when nathan decided to end his life he offered to direct his heart
38:01to christopher's mother but then nathan changed his mind which meant christopher had to take matters into
38:06his own hands he 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 close enough to christopher's firehouse so we could show up to
38:36his shift before the call came in and give himself an alibi and he could make sure that he was
38:39the
38:40paramedic who was taking the call he did all this to save his dying mother well i'll have unis posted
38:46to stop christopher and give eden general a heads up we're gonna stop her from getting the heart aren't we
39:05i had no idea i swear i was only told that heart was available
39:15does he know that you know he dropped off the heart along with the paperwork saying it was for you
39:20and
39:20he left mr ghoul's directed donation was still on file here too we had the hospital text christopher
39:26is your next of kin and say they needed him to come back which he did we have him investing
