00:00Hi, I'm Valeria Castillo. I work for the Los Angeles Herald.
00:04I'm here to see yesterday's case reports.
00:06Oh, okay.
00:07Are you a crime reporter?
00:09Um, not yet. I write for the style section.
00:12I'm going on 15 years, but I'm over it.
00:15It's all been reduced to sex tips and celebrity gossip and clickbait.
00:19So you're fishing for a real story.
00:21Actually, I've already got one.
00:23Do you know anything about a bunch of robberies at five-star hotels?
00:26First I've heard of it.
00:27Well, a concierge at the Borden told me that two guests were beaten and robbed her in the last few
00:32weeks.
00:33Now, neither victim wanted her to contact the police.
00:35When I went to other stations to look through the crime reports,
00:38I found three similar incidents in hotels around town.
00:42Is there a description of the attacker?
00:44No, because none of the men gave one, but the cases have to be connected.
00:48Yeah, I mean, it sure seems like it.
00:49Right?
00:50You know, you don't want the case reports.
00:53There's actually a lot more information in the CAD printouts.
00:56What are those?
00:56Computerated dispatch reports.
00:58Why are you volunteering to show her those?
01:00This is a report from the Herald, and these are public-facing documents.
01:04Valery Castillo?
01:05They're only public-facing when asked for.
01:08Can I see the CAD reports, please?
01:12Fine. Give them door.
01:14Thank you. Not a fan of the press?
01:16The Herald's got a bias against the police.
01:18We do.
01:19It's implicit.
01:19Unlike your bias against me?
01:21Cute.
01:23You know, the media will say or do anything to get you to back up their headline.
01:27And make sure she gives you those printouts back, and get ready to roll.
01:30We're gonna hit the streets as soon as I change.
01:31Yes, sir.
01:32You shouldn't let him talk to you like that.
01:34He's my training officer.
01:35It's just kind of his style.
01:37War being an ass is in style.
01:40But he sure can wear a suit.
01:41No, no, no.
