Major Crimes (2012–2018): Season 4, Episode 10 - Fifth Dynasty - full transcript

[ Police radio chatter ]

Provenza: James, where are we?

That way.

I need more S.I.D personnel
back here post haste, okay?

Have you noticed that,
in addition to barbecues

and children's birthday parties,

backyards seem to attract murders?

Like moths to a flame.

Our victim, Chandler Ethan Ryan,

bought this house about two months ago.

Looks like he was chased out of the house...



And...

He was pulled down off this fence

before he could get away.

With a name like "Chandler Ethan Ryan,"

I'm assuming that he's not a mob boss.

Chandler is the son

of Superior Court Judge Virginia Ryan.

You mean "Fry-'em Ryan"?

Judge Ryan's had a security detail

for the last four weeks.

Uh, they're taking her downtown right now

so the captain can notify her in person,

as a professional courtesy.

As a professional courtesy,



we are informing you of your son's death.

You're welcome. Kendall?

One really hard blow with
a shovel to the neck.

I'm glad his mother didn't
have to see him like this.

Well, I'm not so thrilled
to see him like this myself.

[ Tarp rustling ] When did this happen?

Not very long ago. Oh.

Paint on his clothes is still wet.

Okay, Mike. [ Sighs ]
This is one of those times

where we need to collect every drop of blood

and make sure that it all belongs
to master Chandler here.

Sykes?

Neighbors called 9-1-1

after they heard breaking
glass and shouting.

Shouting? Well, do we know
what the argument was about?

No, but Judge Ryan only
lives three blocks from here,

and she had her bedroom
window shot out last month.

Do we have any idea who did it?

Uh, main suspects were
members of the Fifth Dynasty,

a white supremacist motorcycle gang.

A bunch of drug and arms
trafficking scumbags, sir.

Judge Ryan was handling a case

against two Fifth Dynasty higher-ups,

and the shot through her window

was likely an attempt at intimidation.

Knowing Fry-'em Ryan, it failed.

She got court-ordered
protection the next day.

Uh, it didn't extend to her family.

From what I've shot so far, sir,

it seems like someone's
taken this patio chair

and thrown it through the sliding glass door

while Chandler was still on the ladder.

Now I think if you follow the paint,

it details how the fight played out.

Well, with these two
Fifth Dynasty higher-ups

in the judge's court,

I'm guessing that they're out on bail?

Yes, sir, they are. I
put a want out on them.

Chandler bought this house
a couple of months ago

and has been camping out in the bedroom,

renovating before his wife-to-be shows up.

Here's their wedding web site. Cute couple.

Oh, well. Where's the fiancée?

Iowa. Moving here after the wedding.

- Oh.
- Okay.

So I found one brush and one roller.

Odds are our victim was alone.

Well, since we haven't found another body,

I'm inclined to agree with you.

But painting this house himself? Uh...

I thought that the judge's son was a lawyer.

Yeah, yeah, but more like the
community organizing type,

helping immigrant families
get back with their kids.

So it sounds like he was gearing
up for a political career.

Well... hmm. He was definitely
running from something.

Do you want me to bring the rest

of Fry-'em Ryan's family downtown?

I do.

If this is war,

and the bikers knew about this house,

who knows what else they'd be willing to do?

Woman: Katherine, get down! Get down!

Katherine, get down! Get
down on the floor! Get down!

[ Woman shouting ]

[ Girl screams ]

Man: Katherine! Katherine, stay down!

Aah! Uhh! Uhh! [ Grunting ]

[ Taps key ]

The guy on the right is Kenny Swills.

The other guy is Walter Redmond.

They've both been members
of the Fifth Dynasty M.C.

since they were teens.

Currently on trial for felony assault,

Judge Ryan presiding.

And tonight, neither of them are home.

And conviction would be a third strike

for both these assholes,

but they got a deal out of
the D.A. for seven years.

Sharon: Which I see Judge Ryan rejected.

So when the jury returns a guilty verdict,

our young friends Kenny and
Wally will go away for life.

Which is what the law intended.

- Judge Ryan.
- Captain.

I had a feeling that

being dragged out of bed
in the middle of the night

had something to do with these two maniacs.

Is this about another threat?

Um, if you'll go into my office,

uh, I'll explain why
you're here in one minute.

Take your time. Once I'm up, I'm up.

I have it from here. Thanks.

Okay, tell Lieutenant Provenza and Julio

I want every known member
of Fifth Dynasty down here

to explain their whereabouts tonight.

And, Lieutenant Cooper
and Amy, I want you two

to find our missing
defendants, Wally and Kenny.

- We'll do our best, captain.
- You got it.

[ Whispers ] Thank you.

They fired through my kitchen window.

Only one shot. But I won't lie.

It scared the crap out of me.

I got the protection detail the next day.

Did we tie the bullet to
a Fifth Dynasty weapon?

No, which was this really
stupid mistake on their part.

If the 5Ds had used a gun
that we knew they owned...

You'd be conflicted out.

Guess they thought I'd recuse myself.

I won't.

[ Inhales deeply ]

Ginny, to your knowledge,

has the Fifth Dynasty contacted
any of your family members?

No.

Just me. Why are you asking that?

Could they have found out
about Chandler's new house?

Was your son's address made public at all?

Sh-Sharon... [ chuckles ] Sharon, hold on.

Did something happen to my son?

Oh, my God.

Ginny, I'm sorry to tell you that tonight,

someone broke through the glass door

in the back of Chandler's house.

And after a struggle...

He was murdered.

How?

A fight escalated into the backyard,

but that's all I can say for now. Oh, Ginny.

Oh, I'm so sorry, but I have
to ask you not to call anyone.

I'm not calling just anyone.
I am calling my son.

You have made a mistake.

No, this is not a mistake.

I just talked to him four hours ago.

I understand, but during that time...

I asked Chandler to come to dinner.

He was painting his dining room.
He is about to be married.

You have made a mistake.

[ Sighs deeply ]

He's not picking up.
It's probably on vibrate.

[ Sighs ]

Chandler. Chandler, it's me.

Would you call me back as
soon as you get this, please?

The police are telling me that...

The...

[ Voice breaks ] The police
are telling me that y...

[ Crying ]

[ Soft knock on window ]

[ Mouths word ]

[ Whispers ] Okay. [ Exhales slowly ]

- [ Sniffles ]
- We've taken extra precaution,

and patrol is bringing

your brother's family down here.

Do you have any other
family members in town?

Chandler is my only...

I...

I h...

I-I-I can't talk right now.

God.

Stay here.

I'll be back in a minute.

[ Crying ]

Captain, Lieutenant Tao wants me to tell you

that Judge Ryan's family is
on the elevator right now.

[ Whispers ] Okay. Thank you.

Why did you need us to come downtown?

Does this have something
to do with my sister?

- Is Chandler here?
- David, please. You're not their boss.

Mike Tao. Welcome, ma'am.

Andy Flynn. Hi. Wait a minute.

Don't you have three children? Two sons?

Yes. This is my oldest, Sean,
and my daughter Sophie.

Hi.

But my 13-year-old, Henry,

I assume he's coming down with Chandler

- if you're gathering the whole family.
- With Chandler?

- Are you saying Henry is with...
- Chandler,

helping him paint his new house.

David: Why? Is something wrong?

Flynn: Come with me. Like I said,

I'll explain in a second. Please, this way.

Lieutenant Provenza,

we're no longer looking at just a murder.

There was a 13-year-old boy

at Chandler Ryan's house tonight.

We've arrived very late
to a critical missing.

[ Elevator bell dings ]

If they know where my sister is,

- why can't they just say so?
- Okay, don't freak out, Gus.

The police don't like
to tell people anything

until they absolutely have to.
Hey, lieutenant, lieutenant.

What... what's going on? Is there news?

Oh, well, we're still hoping
to find the kid alive.

Paloma could be dead?

Oh, no. Sorry. Sorry. No,
I'm sure Paloma is fine.

I-I'm looking for a missing 13-year-old boy,

and I've been questioning Aryan
gang members all night long.

Uh, your... your former
probation officer, uh...

Cynthia?

- Yeah.
- Your probation officer? What did...

That... that's... that's
what they call social workers

from the Department of Children Services.

She used to monitor me
when I was a foster child.

Yeah, well, she's waiting for
you in the conference room.

If I run into Flynn,

I'll tell him to stick his
head in there for a minute.

Look, you're gonna have to excuse me, guys.

I got murder, kidnapping, Neo-Nazis.

Uh, so just... [ Chuckles]
Good luck with...

[ Police radio chatter ] Good luck.

[ Door closes ] Flynn:
Found a girl named Paloma

on a crime report from about a year ago.

Different last name, but maybe your sister.

I'm gonna show you this picture in a minute,

but first, I need to explain a few things.

Paloma was arrested? Well, why? I...

It's not as serious as it sounds.

No charges were filed.

She was with a woman and
a couple of older kids.

They were spotted shoplifting. They ran off,

got away in a van with stolen plates.

But Paloma was left behind.

Found her a foster home,

where she's been for over
a year without incident.

She seems very happy.

And how do you know
there's been no incidents?

I've done four home visits.

Things look really good for Paloma.

Yeah, well, I've been on the other end

of a home visit several times,

and I was coached and threatened
about what I could say.

Look, look, look, I... I'm
no foster anything, okay?

I'm Paloma's real brother,

and she'd be better off with me.

And that's what your mother would think,

that Paloma would be better off with her.

Because if you I.D. your sister,
we have to locate your mom.

I thought...

You said that the search was unofficial.

Unofficial...

Until you look at this picture

and say, "this is my sister."

After that, we have to notify your mother.

I gotta go.

It's your move, kid.

[ Sighs ] So...

If you positively I.D. Paloma,

we have to swab her D.N.A.
to see if it matches yours.

Then we have to locate your
mom and your stepfather.

If you don't recognize her,
she stays where she is,

and you have no right to involve yourself.

So do you wanna look?

Yeah.

It...

It looks like Paloma.

But I need to see her in person.

I wanna see her,

and then I'll tell you.

I have to take that up
with her foster family.

I'll talk to them and see what they say.

Tao: And the last time you were
with your missing son was?

I haven't seen Henry since I dropped him off

at Chandler's new house
with some hamburgers.

That was around 6:00 last
night, and the plan was for me

to pick him up this morning
on my way home from golf.

- So he had a change of clothes with him?
- Uh, yes, of course.

Another pair of blue jeans
and a back sweatshirt.

Dark blue, mom. I-I let
him borrow one of mine

- so he wouldn't get paint on his new T-shirt.
- What T-shirt?

Uh, red with white letters.
"Earth is our only planet."

David: Instead of taking my wife's D.N.A.,

shouldn't you be finding these two bikers

from my sister's trial?

We've been rolling up the Fifth Dynasty

all night, Mr. Farrell, serving warrants,

impounding motorcycles.

We have all of L.A.P.D.
patrol on the lookout,

sheriff's deputies, FBI agents.

We have an entire floor that is overflowing

with Fifth Dynasty gang members.

Eventually, we will find
someone who understands

it's to their advantage to help us.

What more could they be doing?

I'll tell you what more they could be doing.

They could be tracing Henry's cell phone,

except that you took it away from him.

Because he talked back to me!

Hey! Could you try and act
better than the bikers?

Why aren't we all out there looking for him

instead of sitting here doing D.N.A. tests

and talking about Henry's wardrobe?!

It's for the body, David.

What?

They're taking D.N.A. and asking
questions about his clothes

so if they find Henry's body,
the police can identify him.

Mr. Farrell, it's in no one's best interest

to kill Henry.

If the Fifth Dynasty was
interested in doing that,

- they would have done it...
- When they murdered my son.

[ Sighs ]

- Ginny...
- Please. Please, don't.

We can deal with all of
that once Henry is found.

And the best way for us to help them do that

is to stay calm and to stay here.

Captain, may I speak to you, please?

[ Exhales ] If there is more going on here

than you can say in front of my family,

I would like to know.

Ginny, there's a huge conflict of interest

between this investigation and your trial.

- And if you won't recuse yourself...
- If you can prove that

these monsters murdered my
son and kidnapped my nephew,

I will be removed from this case.

But until that happens, I see no...

You should take your own advice.

Let me do my job.

Your family needs you.

And right now Chandler needs me.

[ Opens door ]

Oh, no, Ginny, please.

- Okay, okay.
- Please, please, please.

[ Door closes ]

Okay, it is hard, but... okay.

- Thank God...
- Mm.

That you are handling this.

Thank God.

[ Exhales ]

Anything?

I'll talk to this guy,

but no one's giving up our
missing 5D defendants

or even admitting to having seen the kid.

I mean, we're running out of
Nazis to interrogate, ma'am,

so I recommend moving on
to their back warmers.

- Yeah, and what are those?
- "Back warmers."

It's what they call their girlfriends.

Charming. Yeah.

Looking through criminal history
for our missing defendants,

I found a restraining order
against Walter Redmond,

filed in 2013 by his
girlfriend, Louise Rogers.

Detective, do you think
that he is hanging out

with the woman who filed a
restraining order against him?

I don't know, ma'am, but six months ago...

- Mm-hmm?
- She paid Walter and Kenny's bail.

Thank you.

Yes, Amy, I need you at a new address.

Cooper: We should call
for some thermo imaging,

just to see if anybody's home.

We've only been here three hours.

For us, babe, that's quality time.

Well, you know, we could spend
even more quality time together

if you transfer back to S.I.S.

I love where I am.

And working together might
not be our best option.

What are you talking about?
Your own captain is dating

- in her division and...
- And they are both very careful

about how they manage themselves at work.

Uh, hey.

Here we go.

[ Car door closes ]

[ Door squeaks ]

Well, either that's one
extremely thirsty young lady...

Or she's a party planner.

I think our first guests
have already arrived.

I saw a shade move in
the window by the door.

They may have seen us.

All right. Let's go.

[ Crickets chirping ]

What?

Oh.

What?

Hi. I'm Detective Sykes.

This is Lieutenant Cooper of the L.A.P.D.

And we are wondering if you've
seen either of these two men

in the last 24 hours.

Uh, no. Why? Are they in trouble again?

Okay, how about this boy?
Have you seen him around? Has...

[ Door slams in distance ]

Ma'am, is someone else here?

No. No. Just me.

Really? Because it sounds
like there's definitely...

[ Motorcycle engine starts ]

Oh, shit.

- Hey, yo!
- L.A.P.D.! Stop! Police!

[ Engine revving ]

Chuck, watch out!

Ohh!

[ Whispers ] Shit!

[ Engine idling ] Stay back!

Okay, you have the right to remain silent.

[ Grunting ] Anything you say can
and will be used against you

in a court of law. You have
the right to an attorney.

If you cannot afford an attorney,

one will be appointed for you by the State.

- Cooper: Sorry, mein fuhrer...
- Aah! Aah!

But before you ride off
to your next hate rally,

we need to talk to you about
a missing 13-year-old boy.

[ Continues grunting ]

[ Car alarms blaring ]

[ Blaring continues ]

[ Laughing ]

[ Blaring continues ]

[ Laughter continues ]

Paloma's foster family

seems to be doing all the right things.

They've made an application
to adopt. They want her.

And would all of that stop

if Gus identifies Paloma as his sister?

Oh.

Yeah.

But... but he wants to visit her.

Doesn't Gus have rights, too?

If Paloma recognizes Gus,

that is a bell that can't be unrung.

And D.C.F.S. will have to act.

And if her mother's still in Vegas,

Paloma's off to Nevada.

- And she couldn't come back?
- No.

Look, even if Gus wanted to take Paloma,

he doesn't have a place of his own yet.

- He doesn't have a job.
- Okay, then, um,

he should back off for now.

But how do we get him to do that?

Maybe Mariana could help us out.

If she were here.

Mariana is still very present in Gus' mind,

and he feels guilty about her.

At least we know where Paloma is.

There's another child I still have to find.

And Kenny's not gonna help.
He's demanding a lawyer.

Too bad. We have exigent circumstances.

Don't worry. Gus wants to do
right by both his sisters.

Sanchez: When a boy under the age of 14

is missing and presumed kidnapped,

we call that exigent circumstances,

and that means that your
right to an attorney

and your right to remain
silent do not exist.

Sharon: There's a very good
chance, Kenny, that in court,

we won't be able to use anything
you say tonight against you.

But we can use it to find the boy.

Sykes: If the kid dies, however,
before you talk to us,

you're looking at something
worse than a third strike.

You'll be eligible

for the death penalty and prosecution

- by the U.S. attorney's office for kidnapping.
- No, no. No, no, no, Your Honor,

- you can't come...
- Are you really

going to throw me out, Lieutenant?

For over 20 years, I have never questioned

a single word that you've said on the stand.

Your Honor, we're interviewing a defendant

in a trial over which you're presiding.

Who may be about to confess
to the murder of my son.

It is becoming increasingly clear

that I will not be finishing this case.

Please, I am asking you as
a mother, not as a judge.

Your Honor. Thank you.

Please, stand here.

Don't speak and don't interfere.

[ Switch clicks ] Sanchez:
...On the other hand,

if you help us find Henry
Farrell, and he's alive,

then that little resisting arrest stunt

that you just pulled,

maybe we can just make that go away.

Along with all the meth

in the house where you were staying,

and the road flare

your friend dumped in
the gas tank of our car.

Sanchez: Tell us where Henry is,

or you've ridden your bike
for the very last time.

ÿComprende?

Henry who?

Right, I'm just askin'.

Henry Farrell, the 13-year-old
nephew of Judge Ryan,

who you and your Fifth Dynasty
friends abducted last night

after murdering her son Chandler.

[ Laughs ]

Judge Ryan's boy's dead?

That's just real sad.

Sharon: Where were you last night?

With Walter and his girlfriend,

and we didn't get no good news

about judge Ryan's boy being knocked off,

I can promise you that.

How did it happen?

Come on, share the details.

Besides, what use would I have with a kid?

Where would I put him? Why would I take him?

To intimidate Judge Ryan
into recusing herself

from your trial for felony assault.

It's a big gang. I can't control
people's reaction to the bitch.

This country has gone to the dogs.

Black president.

Wetback cops.

You people... You wanna declare war.

The Aryan race

will fight back.

All right, come on. How
much more of this crap

- do we have to listen to?
- [ Cell phone alert chimes ]

But not by kidnapping little kids.

Yeah, I'm a badass, man.

That's what the white
race needs... badasses.

But I'm not a degenerate.

Chandler Ryan was a race traitor.

Did you know that?

He was working immigration, trying to fill

the great state of California
with people like you.

[ Clicks switch ]

Sorry to interrupt, Captain,

but, uh, Chief Taylor would
like to see you in his office

- right now.
- White people made this country

- the most powerful on earth!
- [ Door opens and closes ]

You expect us to just give
that up? Without bloodshed?

As long as it's your blood, buddy.

What's going on? Chief Taylor's in New York.

Sorry. Uh, Judge Ryan was
standing right next to me.

As you know, per standard procedure,

we've been monitoring
the Farrell house phone

in case there was a ransom demand.

When suddenly, we get an
outgoing call from that phone

to Sean Farrell.

How?

Officers went to the house to check it out,

and guess who they found sitting in the den,

watching TV?

Ah, Captain. This is the
lady I was telling you about.

Captain Raydor, meet Henry Farrell.

Apparently, he was dropped off
at his house a little while ago

by some men on motorcycles.

Lucky break for our case, huh?

Oh, it certainly is.

Henry, I'm so happy to see you're safe.

Now... Maybe you could tell me

where on earth have you been?

So when the bikers
dropped you at your house,

what did they say?

To tell my Aunt Ginny to back off.

Aunt Ginny's a judge.

Mm, with one less case to try.

So you got home, Henry,

and you found that your house was empty.

Yeah.

Is that when you called your brother?

Sean told us you called him. Is he wrong?

No. Sean...

I wanted him to know I was home safe.

Sharon: That was the
right thing to do, Henry.

How many bikers were there?

- I don't know. Maybe six?
- Can you describe them?

They... they... they blindfolded me.

Provenza: Is that right?

Uh-huh.

With a bandana.

Mike, while we continue to talk to Henry,

could you do a LexisNexis
search of Chandler's legal work

and dump his phones, without
bothering Judge Ryan about it?

And make sure Henry's brother
Sean is comfortable as well.

Yes, ma'am.

Henry, this... this blindfold,

um, was it over your helmet
or under your helmet?

Helmet?

Well, yeah. I mean, they
weren't riding around town

with a blindfolded kid on the back of a bike

without a helmet, were they? [ Chuckles ]

Yeah. I did. I was wearing a helmet.

Over the blindfold.

[ Clears throat ]

Henry, why don't we start at the beginning,

when they grabbed you
and killed your cousin?

Did you see Chandler die?

Henry, can you tell us how that happened?

I...I don't think I can talk about it.

Flynn: Why didn't you tell
us that Henry called you?

I mean, don't you think
your parents and your aunt

would like to have known that
your little brother was safe?

I-I didn't wanna get Henry in trouble.

Sanchez: Trouble for what?

You talked to your brother for four minutes.

What did he tell you?

Did he tell you that he killed Chandler?

What? No!

No! He... those bikers killed Chandler.

Henry's only 13.

Flynn: If Henry didn't
do anything to Chandler,

why were you so worried
that he would get in trouble?

H-he ran away last night,

and everybody's freaking out about it.

Captain.

I found something on the LexisNexis search

of Chandler's legal work

that may have a bearing on this case.

- Is there a connection to the Fifth Dynasty?
- No.

- There's a link between Chandler and his mother.
- Henry saw some guys drag

Chandler into his backyard, and he ran.

I-I... he's ashamed.

- Oh, my God.
- Don't make him feel like a coward.

Lieutenant, will you let
Andy know about this?

[ Folder thuds ] Before I continue

the investigation into the Fifth Dynasty,

I need to discuss what may be some...

relevant legal work...

in which Chandler was involved.

What the...

This has nothing at all to
do with the Fifth Dynasty.

No, it doesn't.

It is one of three

nondisclosure agreements

involving Chandler, approved in your court.

See? Here's your signature.

And nondisclosure agreements...

Can no longer be enforced
since Chandler's death.

[ Scoffs ]

Oh, good lord.

Do you wanna hear about this? Fine.

The Suarez family... they
were trying to extort Chandler

by accusing him of all these horrible things

because they were having
trouble staying in San Diego.

That is the price we sometimes pay

for trying to help these people.

And, you know, if they can prove

- that they're victims of crimes...
- Stop!

Stop.

The allegations made by Eva Suarez

regarding her son...

Were vile and untrue.

Chandler never touched that boy.

It was malicious blackmail.

What in the name of God

made you dig up all these lies?

It's an ongoing interview
with your nephew, Your Honor.

Sanchez: You claim that
Henry had nothing to do

with Chandler's death. What about you?

Is there something that
you're not telling us?

No. No, I-I don't know anything.

You suspect Sean of murdering Chandler?

Just watch.

Okay, Sean, let me ask you another question.

Maybe off-topic.

When did Chandler first start molesting you?

M-molesting me?

Stop this line of questioning at once!

You have no authority here.
This is not your courtroom.

I am offering you a chance
to listen to something

- you have refused to hear before.
- Molesting? [ Scoffs ]

- Do you wanna stay or do you wanna go?
- I don't even know what you're talking about.

Molesting? I... Where did you get that?

From Henry.

You haven't even found Henry yet.

Sanchez: Henry told us
what Chandler did to him.

And we know he did it to
at least three other kids,

and so we wonder if he did it to you, too.

And you can... [ Lowers volume ]

This is ridiculous and unprofessional.

If you are suspecting Sean
of murdering Chandler,

you are handing him a defense!

Unless it's the truth.

Chandler was a success. Sean was...

I hate to say this...
But the boy is a loser.

He flunked out of college.
He's still living at home!

And what Chandler did to Henry last night?

And the Suarez boy and God knows who else...

Are all those kids losers, too?

Did you just look the other way

as your son was molesting minors,

or did you actively protect him

against the consequences of his actions?

Because that is either
an extreme form of denial

or it is concealment of evidence.

Which is it, Ginny?

I have never concealed evidence in my life.

Then this would be a very bad time

to start doing that,

because then I would think
that you are actively involved

in covering up Chandler's sexual assaults,

and I will act accordingly.

Buzz.

[ Raises volume ] Look, I, um...

[ Sighs ] I can't talk about it.

[ Clears throat ]

All right, Sean, we
understand that this is hard,

but if you tell us the truth now,

that will give us mitigating circumstances

to discuss with the D.A., and that...

I don't wanna talk about it!
Can you not understand?

- I don't wanna talk about it!
- Do you want Henry growing up,

feeling that he's responsible
for what you did to Chandler?

Do you think that that's going
to make it better for him?

It won't! And if you don't talk to us, Sean,

this goes to a courtroom.

[ Voice breaking ] I don't
have to take the stand.

No, no, but Henry will.

And they will ask him all
about him and Chandler.

How much do you want

your little brother to
relive this in public?

[ Sniffles ]

[ Sniffles ]

I used to love Chandler.

I mean, he was...

He was everything anyone
wanted to be. And then...

[ Breathes unevenly ]

It started happening,

and I couldn't avoid him.

I mean, our family is so close.

And I didn't think Aunt
Ginny would believe me.

So I just kinda...

[ Whispers ] Shut down

and tried not to rock the boat.

And my... my senior year of
high school... I don't know.

Maybe he found somebody else.

And I went away to
college for a little while,

but...

I had a hard time holding it together.

And when I came back, Henry had changed.

He was different.

[ Voice breaking ] He had changed.

Turn it off. I've heard enough.

Sorry, Your Honor, but
you wanted a briefing.

- Flynn: Changed how?
- And unless we handle this now,

you're going to have to listen
to this for weeks on end

in open court.

Sanchez: How had he changed, Sean?

He didn't wanna play games anymore.

He didn't talk.

[ Sniffles ] And when he
went over to Chandler's to...

To help him paint, he
tried to back out of it.

But my parents made him go,

just like they always made me go.

And later, after Chandler...

After Chandler molested Henry last night...

Henry had called me from
Chandler's house phone,

crying.

[ Whispers ] He was hurt. And
my parents were asleep,

so I went over there to pick him up.

And on the way over,

I just...

[ Inhales sharply ] I got angrier.

And angrier...

Thinking about it.

I wanted to scare Chandler.

What the hell are you doing, Sean?!

I wanted him to know that he couldn't do...

to Henry what he did to me.

What I did to you?

I didn't do anything you
didn't want me to do!

I wanted to warn him.

I wanted him to know that
he had to leave Henry alone.

You liked it!

- What did you say?!
- Hey! Sean! [ Grunts ]

I think what happened... [ Sniffles ]

Was that he said that I liked it.

You think I liked it?

- You think I liked it?!
- Uhh!

[ Body thuds ] But I didn't like it.

Chandler: Sean, stop, please.

[ Heartbeat thumping ]

Please! [ Loud clank ]

Uhh!

[ Gurgles ]

I really didn't like it.

[ Breathes unevenly ]

Your Honor...

We are well aware

that you do not like the
deal-making process.

- But with this interview and the examination of Henry...
- No. N-no, no.

[ Whispers ] No, no.

There may be...

There may have been...

May I...

May I at least have the opportunity

to talk to my family

before you call a lawyer for Sean?

[ Whispers ] Yeah, of course.

Thank you.

[ Birds chirping ]

Just, uh, making a few
notes in the murder book.

Judge Ryan spoke up for her nephew in court.

She pleaded for every consideration.

But it's still going to be manslaughter.

Well, it's better than murder.

We can be pretty sure that
Sean did not go to that house

- intending to kill anyone.
- Man: Detail, left!

One good thing...

Ballistics matched the gun Chuck
and I found on Kenny Swills

- to the attack on Judge Ryan's home.
- Mm.

And his friend Walter Redmond blew up a car.

Once we find him, he and
Kenny both go away forever.

Judge Ryan does get
something out of all this.

I don't think she'll see it like that.

There's no good way to bury a child.

♪

Man: In the name of the Father, and
of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit,

Mariana Wallace, rest in peace.

Amen.

♪

Man: Detail, right turn!

Exit.

You okay, Gus?

[ Whispers ] I, uh...

[ Voice breaking ] I-I appreciate very much

being able to lay Mariana to rest like this.

But I just feel it's unfair,

making me agree not to meet
with Paloma till she's 18.

Do you want Paloma to lose
everything that she has, Gus?

No. No, I don't. But I just want...

Gus, we made a deal, and
we've kept our end of it.

Mariana has been properly laid to rest,

and you know Paloma is all right.

Do you know how many
people would give anything

to hear those words?

"Your loved one is all right."

It doesn't always work out that way.

♪

Leaving Paloma with this family...

Is that really what the State wants,

or what all of you want?

I-I think it's what Mariana would've wanted,

because she loved Paloma so much.

And Paloma has a chance
now at a normal life.

Gustavo... [ clears throat ]
I know it seems unfair, but...

Sometimes older brothers...

Sometimes older brothers

have to make sacrifices

for their younger siblings.

How are you feeling?

Well, I did everything I set out to do. I...

I found Alice's real name. [ Sniffles ]

Thanks to you, she's had a proper burial.

Thanks to us.

- [ Sighs deeply ]
- And yet?

I can't tell Mariana that I found Paloma.

[ Sniffles ] Or that Paloma's all right.

Or that... that Gus is here with her.

I can't even tell Alice...

Because I'll always think of her as Alice...

You know, I...

I can't even tell Alice how
much she meant to me.

But you can tell other people.

And someday, you can stand here with Paloma

and you can share the whole story with her.

[ Breathes unevenly ]

[ Sniffles ]

Yeah, I just...

I just wish I would've
been able to help her.

[ Exhales sharply ]

I wish I could've helped her.

I think you did.

You did.
