Season 05 Episode 11
"White Lies Part 1"

I've been waiting to ask you stuff all week.

That's why I'm here,
Dwight...

To answer
your questions.

We've turned the tables
a little, haven't we?

I wonder
if I'm about to learn

as much about your life
as you did about mine.

Your honor, I object.

The defendant
cannot treat the witness



as if he were
at an appointment with his therapist.

Yes.

Mr. Darnell?

Dr. Bowman is present

to speak in his capacity
as a psychologist.

More specifically, to render his analysis of my mental...
- Objection sustained.

Mr. Darnell, since you insist
as acting as your own Attorney,

I continue
to give you leeway,

but once again,
I urge you to consult

with your court-appointed
Attorney for advice.

He's right there.

If he gives the game away here,

maybe he'll be arrogant enough
to answer some questions

about his Nazi friends
when court adjourns.



Tell us who
his Aryan shot-caller is.

During their investigation,
the Pasadena police...

They asked
for Dr. Bowman's services

in order that "through analyzing
the methodology

and potential motives
of these homicides

to locate and/or identify a suspect."

Is this an accurate description

of the job that you were asked
to perform, Dr. Bowman?

In brief, yes.
- Huh.

So, before we met
at the behest of detectives,

you had compiled
an imaginary portrait

of my... my...
My upbringing?

My character?

I speculated
on your personality.

By lumping me in
with a lot of other people?

Not a lot of other people, Dwight.

A lot of other murderers.

It is my understanding that
the word "murder" or "homicide"

is reserved
for the unlawful killing

of other human beings.

My so-called victims
were either involved with

or already were part of
an inferior race,

and therefore, it is my defense...
- Objection!

The 6 adults
and 2 children under 10

shot to death
by the defendant

were human in every sense of the word
- Sustained.

Claiming your victims
were unworthy of life

because they were minorities
is not a defense, Mr. Darnell.

Make your point,
if you have one.

I do.

Dr. Bowman,
am I correct in stating

that on July 16th
of last year,

you predicted
that I would be

at one of 12 addresses
in Pasadena

using this gun
to execute a married couple

who was intent on diluting
the purity of the white race?

We narrowed down the date
and some potential targets

in such a way to affect
your arrest if that's...

So, I stand here today
on trial for my life,

partly because
you took my individual nature

and reduced it
to a pattern?

You shrunk it down
to fit a generic profile?

That's one way
of looking at it.

What other possible way
could I look at it, doctor?

Well, one might also say
that in the final analysis,

you just weren't
very original.

Well, doctor,
since I'm so obvious,

maybe you could
offer the court

an illustration
of your predictive powers.

For example,
could you reveal

to the ladies and gentlemen of the jury

what I'm about to do in,
say, the next 10 seconds?

Get down!
Get down!

Get down, get down!
Get down, get down!

Move, move!

Stay with me, chief,
stay with me.

Excuse us.

Excuse us.
Lieutenant provenza,

how many people were
shot in the courtroom?

Can you confirm the death
of Dwight Darnell?

Can you tell us why the
courthouse has been blocked off?

Are there more threats?

Why is the LAPD
investigating the shooting

instead of
the sheriff's office?

'Cause the sheriff's office
has conflicts in this case.

What conflicts?
- They're called bullets. Excuse me.

So, is this an ethical
or a criminal investigation?

Yes.

All right.
To begin with,

I can keep the jurors sequestered
and give you their identities.

That might help.

We'll also need a list
of all the clerks and deputies

who had access
to the evidence,

because what happened here today
just wasn't a mass shooting.

It had to be
a conspiracy.

Dwight probably
won't live, but we'll see.

What about Dr. Joe?

It's 50/50.

I'm...

I am very sorry
about chief Taylor.

He was a cop's cop.

Never more than today.

And DDA Rosen, too.

God,
I don't believe it.

I'm gonna get
your prelim started

so you don't have to
come to the morgue, okay?

- Yes.
- Your honor?

Any idea how that gun
could have been loaded?

No, the disabling wire
is checked always

before it comes into court
by both the DDA and the deputy.

The wire was clipped.

All Dwight had to do
was pull it out,

which he could have done
through the bag.

That's what I looked like
from where I was sitting.

Maybe deputy Simms
and Rosen

just did a visual check
of the wire, sir.

Wouldn't be unusual.

It's hard to believe
they had anything to do

with the conspiracy
since they both ended up dead.

Hey, Sharon?

Would you like to wait
in the judge's chambers?

I'm sure his honor
wouldn't mind?

No, I'm good, Andy.

I should stay with
the scene of my action.

Oh, uh, Sharon,
the spectators

and the reporters
that were present?

Should I continue to have
the deputies hold them, too,

or...
Or let them go?

Uh, captain, I can't believe
I'm about to say this.

Uh, but according
to the rules...

Uh, written by you...
- I know.

I used my firearm,
so I have to wait

until force investigation interviews me

before I can actively
continue with this case.

Yes, but that doesn't mean

that we can't talk
about it in front of you

or you ask
questions if you want.

We will see the jurors
and the people from the gallery

in just a few minutes, your honor.

I'll let them know, lieutenant.
- Thank you.

Before we go on,
this is a lousy day.

I'm feeling pretty upset myself.

So, if anyone needs a break

before we start figuring out who
put this conspiracy together,

it would be
completely understood.

Good.

Mike?

No prints on the clip
or the remaining bullet.

- Amy?
- After the shooting started,

deputy Simms tried
to activate Dwight's stun belt,

but the controls are jammed.

That's why Simms was
too late drawing his side arm.

He tried to shock Dwight first.

Well, if Dwight's plan

was to kill
as many people as possible,

he should have shot
the deputy first.

Unless Dwight knew
the stun belt was disabled.

How would he have known that, though?

That's a good question.

Here's a few more.

Who loaded
and enabled the gun?

How did Dwight know
the gun was loaded?

And why did he shoot
Joe Bowman first?

Just a question.

Well, was Dr. Joe
the primary target?

It looks that way to me,

and do you think,
for the time being,

that we should let the
conspirators, whoever they are,

think that Dwight succeeded
and that Dr. Joe is dead?

I could help with that.

- Captain?
- Oh.

Lieutenant camacho.

This is the, uh, weapon I fired.

I'll be just a second.

Did I mention,
in addition to profiling Dwight,

Dr. Joe also evaluated
his capacity to stand trial

and to act
as his own Attorney?

I am going to speak
with FID.

Thank you.

I'm coming.

So, there is a record of Dr. Joe
and Dwight's conversations.

Covered by privilege.

Well, as long as Dwight is alive.

Doctor, you're our
resident expert on the subject,

so as regards
to Dr. Joe?

I could report his death
to the media,

but you should have
deputy chief Howard

contact his next of kin
and warn them beforehand.

These will do as prelims.

I'll call you
if any of this changes.

Thank you.

Mike, why don't you look around,

for who had access
to Dwight Darnell's weapon?

There may be a standout.

I'll see
if I can find someone

with a swastika
tattooed on his forehead.

Uh, Amy, make sure that Dr. Joe
is anonymous, protected,

and as far as the rest
of the world knows, dead.

And keep an eye
on Dwight.

If he wakes up,
you need to talk to him.

I'll let you know
how it goes.

Uh, lieutenant,
you want me to grab

all the video
from the courtroom?

I want you to grab all the video
in the courthouse.

Let's find out who all was here today.
- Yes, sir.

Julio, you need to run parole
and probation searches

on every known Nazi
and skinhead.

In-include those in county,
as well.

Should we start
with Henry Colson, sir?

We can't rule out
what happened here

as payback for how his father
and brother died last week.

Yeah, good call,
good call, Julio.

Oh, and I was thinking.

Um, your foster kid,
Mark...

Now, he lived
with the colsons.

He might be able to ID
some members of z-brotherhood,

the ones that came to visit
when Dwight was there.

I'm sorry, sir.
But Mark isn't going anywhere

near these white power nut jobs.

Julio, look, the guy who killed
Mark's mother is dead.

It hasn't stopped
the violence much, sir.

I'll get a removal order
for Colson,

and we'll see if he had
anything to do with this.

God help him
if he did.

Well, I've never been
very sure about god, Andy.

But today?

Today, I believe in the devil.

But I can confirm
there were five deaths,

including LAPD assistant chief
of operations Russell Taylor,

whose position
I am temporarily filling

while the LAPD finds those

who aided and abetted
Dwight Darnell.

I will take
a few questions.

What about the report
from the coroner's office

that Dr. Joe Bowman
was shot and killed

while giving testimony
on the stand?

I'm not going to talk about
any of the other murders

until relatives
have been notified.

Yes.

Last week,
the LAPD was responsible

for two fatalities inside
the so-called z-brotherhood.

Was this shooting
an attempt

to get revenge
on law enforcement?

I-I have no idea.

Now, all we know for sure
is this was a conspiracy

against the justice system
and the people who serve it,

and frankly, an attack on our
common ideas of civilization.

Okay, Julio.

How are we doing

with our parole and probation
searches of Nazi world?

Not great, sir.

There's one weird thing,
and it's not the first time

the z-brotherhood
has done something like this.

Most of them live in a group
of old apartment complexes

on the same city block,
and they own all the buildings.

Birds of a feather?

Should flock off,
preferably to another city.

They do flock off, sir,
but only to other neighborhoods.

The brotherhood
causes trouble,

tries to move out blacks
and latinos around its property.

Then the city steps in,
condemns the building,

pays them off, and redevelops.
Pays them off.

Again, these maniacs
in a real-estate con.

How come we don't know more
about these zyklon dirtbags?

Well, sir,
until recently,

they were just everyday
drug dealers and gun runners.

I mean,
they preached white power,

but mostly just sold meth
in L.A. and weapons in Mexico.

This particular
real-estate issue...

There's nothing
really illegal about it.

We should
get search warrants

and tear the brotherhoods'
apartment buildings apartment.

Catch them with this
million dollars worth of weapons

that are still missing.

Sir, search warrants?

We'd need probable cause
for each apartment.

I mean, where's
the evidence for that?

Maybe all of their properties
could be condemned again, huh?

Flynn?
- Yeah, well, Dwight had no visitors,

while he was at county
awaiting trial,

and he cycled
a lot of cellmates,

but no skinheads
or Nazis in the bunch.

Mike.

The gun was only signed
into evidence a few times.

Richwood's clerk, Jan Adamms,
was in charge of that.

She's on her way up.

I have the video ready,
lieutenant.

Top right is
the judge's clerk,Jan

Here we go.

Well, she certainly
looked surprised.

Did he suffer?

Dr. Joe,
or was it quick?

Buzz, turn off
this monitor, please.

Uh, Rysty,
your mother

is on her way back
from the FID interview.

Uh, if you could wait
in her office...

I could...
I could work on the tip line.

I could... I could prepare
background checks from the callers.

I-I don't want to...
I don't want to just sit around.

I want to help. Okay?

Dr. Joe, was...
He was my... he was my friend.

Rusty, Rysty,
I have known...

Russell Taylor...

Since his first day on the job,

and we're all dealing with
tragedy here today.

That's why I need you
to pull it together.

Go into your mom's office,
wait for her.

Rusty, she shot someone today.

I need you to be
a source of strength for her

during this operation.

And I would be...

I would be
very grateful...

If you could do that.

Meet judge Richwood's
clerk, Jan Adamms.

She's agreed
to fully cooperate.

Except I... I don't understand

why the officers
read me my rights.

Oh, standard procedure,Jan
Just standard procedure.

And listen, we... we want
to thank you for your help.

But... but you can't think
that I'm involved.

Oh, no, no. We just need
to properly eliminate you.

Just as we did the jury and
all the people in the gallery.

We weren't suspicious
of the spectators or the judge,

but we had to...
How did it go at FID?

Good.

I'm still not cleared for the field

until I meet with
behavioral sciences tomorrow,

but I already know
what they're going to ask.

I hope so.
You helped write the questions.

And the answers.

Is this
Richwood's clerk?

Uh, yes, ma'am.

All right, what do you want to know?

Well, I see here

that you've been with the judge
for six years.

Yes.
And you manage the evidence?

Unless it's locked up in a safe.

Which you have
the combination for.

All the clerks have the combination.

We s-sign the evidence
in and out,

and we're particular with firearms.
All the clerks?

There are three signatures
from you

on this bag
that contains Dwight's weapon.

One for deputy Simms,
DDA Rosen.

No, no, no,
that's not my signature.

- What?
- Oh, my God, that's not even

how I spell my name.
We use two m's for "adamms,"

and the person who signed this
used one.

This is... This is forged.

Someone
forged my name on the evidence.

If that's true, the bags
could have been switched.

Oh, my God, you're gonna think
that I... oh, my God.

Just calm down,
calm down.

Take a deep breath,

and we'll go through this together.

Including you,
how many others would you say

have the combination to that safe?

Working at the court right now?

Well, I...
10, maybe?

Oh, my God.

Oh, my God.
- Working now?

What does she mean by "working now"?

Uh, there are people no longer
employed by the court

who have the combination
to the evidence safe?

Oh, sure, yeah.
- How many?

I have no idea.

I mean, the safe came in 2004,

and the combination
hasn't changed since then.

We get new clerks all the time.

Excuse me.

So, a lot of people
could have unlocked that safe.

All right, then.

Jan, I need you to write down...

Everything that happened today

from the time you arrived
this morning for work.
- Buzz Watson, Major Crimes.

We need to go through county,
state, and sheriff's office

employment records
and find all these people.

First, gather all the clerks
that worked at court today

and get writing samples
from each of them, please.

I'll be back
in a minute.

Captain,
Henry Colson's downstairs.

You're up, Julio.

As soon as you can.
All right, I'll call you.

Yeah, good.
Captain?

I'm getting someone to look
at the clerk's handwriting

and we're going to keep an eye
on her after she leaves here,

but she doesn't strike me
as someone who could be

a part of a major conspiracy like this.

A conspiracy in which
Dr. Joe was the primary target.

If Dr. Joe
was the target,

I can think of a thousand
easier ways to kill him.

But can you think
of a better way

to disguise
your real intention

than shooting up
an entire courtroom?

Still, maybe the little creep
just hated his shrink.

One... one second, please,
one second.

Amy?... Yes.

Ah, good.
Good, okay.

As far as I'm concerned,
that's even better.

Yes, a-and please let us know
how it goes.

Right, thanks.

So, Dr. Joe is out of surgery.

He's in the recovery room,

and even though he's not
completely in the clear yet,

his doctor said that
Amy can talk to him soon.

Anything else?

Um... yes.

We now can get all the records
we want from Dr. Joe

because Dwight Darnell

died on the operating table
three minutes ago.

Okay.

Have you told Rysty
anything at all about Dr. Joe?

Well, no, while the issue
was still in doubt,

I... captain.

You had to shoot the guy.

That's not the problem, lieutenant.

What I am finding difficult,

is that I took a human life today,

and I still can't locate
a single part of me

that feels bad about it.

We need people to believe
Dr. Joe is dead.

If friends and family
show up at the ICU...

Yeah, but what if he dies,

and then I never
get to see him again?

No, we can't think that way.

Why would
this Dwight Darnell freak

shoot at Dr. Joe in the first place?

Because Dwight was assessed
by Dr. Joe

to see if he was competent
and sane.

- So?
- It is possible

that Dwight said something
during that evaluation

that was more important
than either of them knew.

But... but wouldn't
all of that be privileged?

I mean,
how could anyone else

know what they were
talking about?

Yes, that is another
really good question.

Well,
don't ask me.

I had as little to do with
Dwight as possible, all right?

I was never even
near him in jail.

Look, bringing me here
from county again

after what happened
to my father and my brother,

if you guys are about
to make an arrest or something,

it's gonna look like
I'm telling you stuff.

You are gonna tell us
stuff, Colson, or guess what?

We'll arrest some of
your brotherhood buddies
and then let you out.

- What?
- Without charging you.

What do you think zyklon
would make of that?

Hey, are you trying
to get me killed?

Is that it?

Hey, I just make the meth,
all right? That is all.

These monsters.

What the hell
do they think they're doing?

I don't know,

but this conspiracy is the work
of a highly organized mind.

And I can't see yet
how it was done.

So, if you hear anything
that'll give us a search warrant

for the city block
of apartments

that these worthless bastards
own, please chime in.

Why are you blaming me for everything?
- Okay, okay.

No, listen! I don't even
have to talk to you!

Calm down, you Moron!
Calm down! And you listen to me.

You want to deal drugs? I don't care.

You want to sell guns?

It doesn't matter to me
because I don't work that beat!

- But shooting a deputy D.A...
- Jew.

- A court-appointed Attorney...
- Mexican.

An LAPD psychologist.

Homo.

An assistant chief of police.

Black guy. Come on.

The deputy was white.

And Dwight shot him, too.
Explain that.

Dwight shot Simms?

No, that never happened.

Now you guys are lying.

He knows Simms. How?

From jail?

Simms was a trusted lifer
with the sheriff's office,

assigned to high-powered
prisoners like Dwight.

Took the place of regular
bailiffs during the trials.

Simms handled the evidence.

But...He was murdered.

He was also
slow to the draw,

and the controls
to the stun belt were jammed.

Simms conspired with Dwight
in his own murder?

You said that he was white,
and Dwight didn't shoot whites.

If I don't hear the name

of the z-brotherhood's
shot-caller in the next minute,

I am sending you back to jail

with a note on your ass

saying that "i told the police
about Erin Simms!"

And then we'll see
if your Nazi friends

really don't kill white people.

Before I say anything else...

I need protection, man.

I need protection.

Oh, no.

He's not getting
any protection from us.

We will figure out
if there really are connections

between deputy Simms and
what happened in the courthouse

some other way.

I suggest you start
with a warrant

and go through every inch
of deputy Simms' life

and let me know what you find.

Protection.

We're the ones
who need protection.

Captain, Simms was law enforcement

and a victim
of this conspiracy?

Someone loaded Dwight's gun,
lieutenant.

I think
this is one of those times

when we need
to gather our facts first

and develop
a theory of the crime later.

Sanity is a relative thing.

Dwight wasn't
legally crazy,

but he had a persecution complex
as big as all outdoors.

Typical of
the white power movement.

- Had he been persecuted?
- Not really.

He was smarter
than he was disciplined.

Didn't have much
impulse control, obviously.

And he, uh,
he never hinted

at who ordered him
to kill his victims?

All these
mixed-race couples?

No, he said
he thought it up himself.

That felt true.

Did you know
he committed all his murders

on the birthdays
of famous Nazis?

Which is partly how I...

Oh.

Is there a hand mirror around?
I'd like to see my face.

You know,
let's finish with this first.

Your, um, your nurse
is giving me the evil eye.

Well,
that's not nice.

Hello.

I'm fine,
don't worry.

Oh.

Hi, James.

How long
am I gonna be dead?

Until we find out
if anyone else wants to kill you.

Did Dwight
ever explain

why he decided
to murder these people?

Not directly,
but in our third session,

he said the Aryan movement
was coming together

under someone new.

Dwight said the zyklon
brotherhood had changed leaders?

He never admitted
to being part of zyklon.

He kept it
generic Aryan,

but yes, there was a name of a guy.

Huh.

Would it be
in your notes?

You know,
that's a great idea.

Yes, I recorded
all our sessions.

And do you remember
where those recordings are?

Mm-hmm.

Oh, do you want me
to tell you where to find them?

- Yes, I do.
- Oh.

Dwight's dead?

Yes.

In my office
in the bottom drawer

of my right file cabinet

in a little red box
marked "Darnell."

Get my notes, too,

and listen for the bit
during our third session

where Dwight starts to say...
What was it?

"It's not illegal
because we have no...

Say in making
our own laws anymore.

The county is divided up,

and we are getting
less and less of it.

My rights are being taken away.

Can you give me
an example of how,

in your personal,
everyday life,

you, Dwight, have lost your rights?
- Sure.

There's racial quotas
to get into college.

So I wasn't accepted
because some dumb Mexican was.

- California universities don't have racial quotas.
- No, that's bullshit, - That's not true!

And you were turned down because of
your grades. English lit, "d."

Algebra, "f."

World history, "d."

If you would read Jordan Graff,

who is a Harvard law graduate,
by the way,

you would realize that
the public-school currICUlums

have been adjusted

so that white people
do more poorly than minorities!

It's all being done
on purpose!

Okay.

I'll read Jordan Graff.

Who is he?

He is someone who is
helping us regain our fatherland.

Do you know this Jordan Graff,
personally?

Yes, I do, very well.

He's not my real dad, of...
Of course, but... you know,

my real dad
should be recognized

as a king in this stupid country.

But, uh, Jordan graff,
he...

Treats me like a son.

Let's go back.

I thought you didn't know
who your real dad was.

I don't know his name.

I'm not supposed to,

but he's the real power
behind our cause.

And I will meet him one day.

Wait, hold on.
Pause it right there, please.

Jordan graff...
Why have we not heard about him?

Or Dwight's father?
- In his notes, Dr. Joe says

that Dwight was probably trying
to get attention from graff

because he idealized him

and seemed delusional on the
subject of his father, ma'am.

It says here Dwight
is estranged from his mother,

wildred Darnell,
also her maiden name.

Uh, we're very near
the end of the session.

Please,
let's get it over with.

Oh, yes, go ahead.

Well, maybe your father

will show up for you at the trial.
- Maybe he will.

And maybe I will prove to him
that I was a worthy soldier.

I guess we'll see.

That's all
we have time for today, Dwight.

Thank you
for your cooperation.

I'm done, deputy.

You can take Mr. Darnell
back to his cell.

Stop, stop.

Dwight was talking to Dr. Joe
with a deputy

present in the room.
What deputy?

Did he note his name?
Uh... no, ma'am.

Well, if it was deputy
Simms, that's a big coincidence.

- Why do you say that?
- We haven't searched his house yet,

but we did get through
his computer at work

and his e-mail account.

Simms was having an affair
with another clerk of the court.

What? Who?

A 32-year-old Asian-American
woman named Hai Sun,

working for judge Norris
most of last year.

Doesn't sound like part of
the white power movement to me.

Where is she... Hai sun?

Wouldn't you know it,

she left work early today
before the shooting,

and no one has seen her since.

This is
the end of hour 3

of my examination
with Dwight Edward Darnell.

In addition
to leaving early yesterday,

Hau Sun, our court clerk
we've linked to deputy Simms,

did not show up for work
this morning,

was not at her home,
which we searched.

Her phone doesn't ping
anywhere in Southern California.

Also missing... her car,
her luggage, and her cat.

We have Hai's picture
in every police vehicle

and have alerted every airport
and train station

across the country.

- So far, nothing.
- What about deputy Simms?

Lots to discuss.

In his house,
we found $150,000 in cash.

Seemed suspicious.

Also,
property records indicating

he owns a 5,000-square-foot
residence in cabo,

plus bank statements from Panama
showing the account holder

with a balance
of $4 million and change.

- But worse.
- Worse?

Deputy Simms
had three burner phones,

and he used one of them
to call Ava Jarvis several times

before she ran away from
the witness protection program

with my foster kid, Mark.

And also, let's not forget
that deputy sheriff Simms

was in all the sessions
that Dwight had with Dr. Joe.

So, why don't we just
arrest this guy,

and then we...
Oh, wait.

He was shot to death
in the courtroom yesterday.

I mean, does anyone
seriously believe

this guy planned his own murder
with $4 million in the bank?

- I mean, come on, people.
- What does your captain say?

She's at behavioral science

doing her mandatory interview
for shooting Darnell,

but I know she would like
a reason to search

every single one of those
apartments in Nazi land.

I may have that covered,
but, uh, you'll want SWAT along,

in case they start using all
these weapons we're looking for.

I'll let the captain know when
we have the search issue solved.

And listen.

Losing chief Taylor like this?

Well, calling him a hero...

Doesn't help us today.

But that's how
we'll end up remembering him.

And quickly
bringing to justice

the perpetrators
of this conspiracy

is the best way
to deal with our loss.

This is great work here.

Let's keep it up.

Oh, hello.

Uh, I'm sorry
to bother you.

I'm Jennifer Edwards.

I'm looking for
a detective Buzz Watson.

Detective Watson?

Oh, uh, hi,
I-I'm Buzz Watson.

Excuse me
just one second.

Sorry, Jennifer.

Um,
let's go this way.

This e-mail scared me to death,

and this old photo of Gene?

Why are you sending me
all this stuff?

I haven't had anything...

Anything to do with Gene
since I was 20.

Sorry to upset you,

and I... I didn't pick you
specifically.

I looked for every Jennifer,
Jen, Jenny Edwards

or Edwards as a maiden name
on Linkedin, Twitter, Facebook.

Well,
I'm the lucky winner, then.

What did Gene say to you about me?

Gene is using you as an alibi.

An alibi?

For what?

Over 30 years ago,
Gene says he was with you

on a night when we think
he was robbing an ATM, and...

And those two brothers
were shot to death.

Is that it?

Gene told you
about that?

Not exactly.

The murders
were all over the news,

and they're talking about
how the killers

only got like $60
and a Swiss army watch.

And the morning after
it all happened,

Gene was actually wearing
a Swiss army watch,

which I'd never seen before.

I asked Gene
where he got it.

He blew up.

He pulled me across the table
by my hair,

and he told me to never ask him
where he got anything again.

Or I could
end up dead.

So, Gene Hecht was not with you
the night of the murders?

No,
but when I saw that watch,

I... I think
he killed those guys.

Uh, Gene had a partner.

He robbed the ATM
with someone.

I don't know who that would be.
Gene didn't have friends.

Oh, my gosh.

Here, I thought
I was in trouble,

but I'm... I'm not,
right?

Um, if you'll just
write everything down

that happened that day

and agree
to make a video statement,

I can probably
assure my bosses

that you were no way involved
with the murders.

However,
if you don't...

The paperwork's
coming together right now.

If you agree to help redevelop
these zyklon properties,

the city Attorney's office
will condemn them today.

Except the last time
I partnered

with the housing authority
on properties like this,

some of my workers were shot at
during demolition.

One of them was beaten
within an inch of his life.

Major Crimes
was not involved

in your previous run-ins
with the z-brotherhood.

We will coordinate with SWAT
and special operations

so that safety
is the first priority.

What?

Pardon me because I-I know

this is a period of grieving
for all of you, but right now,

it seems that the LAPD can't
even protect your own officers.

Mr. Borja, we are
a great Police Department...

One of the best
in the world.

But law enforcement
also depends upon

the cooperation of community
and business leaders

to help us
maintain the law.

This isn't the time
to allow ourselves

to be intimidated or held back
from doing the right thing.

I'm not worried about myself,

but my projects are also my families.

I-I can't risk their lives.

Mr. Borja, we're already
in mourning for one of our own,

and there are
a million dollars worth

of missing weapons out there

we have to find,
or more lives will be lost.

Now, if you don't take on this project,

the housing authority would need
to get us another partner.

That'll take time, and
those weapons could slip away.

And the longer
these psychos go unchallenged,

the more aggressive they become.

Well, can... can I wait
and sign up

after you made your arrests?

We may have trouble
making arrests

without condemning
the properties.

For search warrants,
we need to show probable cause

for each individual
in each apartment.

That will be
nearly impossible to do.

We need
to show up en masse,

search everything at the
same time, because otherwise,

these Nazi bastards
will just move stuff around.

- Ms. Darnell?
- Yes.

I'm, uh, I'm sorry
to trouble you, captain.

I, uh, I tried
to get to the hospital

before Dwight's body
was taken away,

but I didn't make it.

I'm really desperate
to see my son.

I understand, but unfortunately,

his autopsy is still ongoing.

Wait, au-autopsy?

I thought
that autopsies were only used

to determine
the cause of death,

and you killed Dwight,
didn't you, captain?

Yes, I did.

But we still need
an autopsy

to establish
if Dwight was high

when he shot up
the courtroom yesterday, ma'am.

Also, the pathologist
has to file a report

before your son's body can be
released to a funeral home.

I see.

Um, but Dwight
will be cleaned up?

I mean,
he'll be made presentable.

I-I could look
at his face?

Yes, of course.

Okay.

I only wish
that we had been able

to end the violence...
A different way.

Me, too.

But since you are here,

I wondered
if you'd mind my asking.

In his evaluation
with behavioral sciences,

Dwight mentioned
that he was planning on

meeting with his father,
maybe even at the trial.

I... I don't see
how that would be possible.

Um, his father was a marine

that I had a short affair
with, when I was just 16.

Not only
did he drop me flat,

but he never showed even the
slightest interest in Dwight.

He died in Iraq.

Your son also mentioned
someone named Jordan Graff,

who he seemed...
- Thank you, but I've heard all I need to hear

about Mr. Graff and his movement.

Well, do you know
where we can find Mr. Graff,

if he is really responsible, ma'am?
- I don't know him.

All I know is that
he came between me and my son.

Or maybe I'm responsible.

I became a mother way too young,
and now that mistake is...

Oh, my God,
I have ruined so many lives.

I just have one more question,
Ms. Darnell, please.

Did you ever meet a Sheriff's
deputy named Erin Simms

who managed your son's movement
when he was in county jail?

No, I, um...

I was too ashamed
to visit Dwight in jail.

And now I'll never
talk to him again.

I'm really sorry.
I have to go.

I'll...I'll walk you out.

I would rather you not.

Thank you.

Are you all right,
ma'am?

Martin Borja
signed the paperwork.

The city housing authority has
officially condemned Nazi land,

and we're on our way to do
safety checks of their property

and find those weapons.

Take SWAT, vest up.

Hopefully when you find
those weapons,

it will help us
unwind this conspiracy.

Don't worry, captain.

I'm feeling lucky.

Sykes, Sanchez?

Pardon me, excuse me.
Hey, no! Excuse me!

Hey, back off!

The fifth amendment prohibits
the taking of private property

for use in government
without just compensation.

I live here,
and what you are doing

constitutes an extralegal
search of our premises.

I suggest you look into
Kelo vs. New London,

wherein the supreme court
decided that government...

We do not recognize
the power of the supreme court

to negate
our fifth amendment rights.

You're gonna be paid
for your properties

at commercially assessed value.
- No, no, no, this is not gonna go down

like every other time
you people have done this.

I will file an injunction
against the police department.

Hold on, you yourself
are gonna file an injunction?

I myself, yes.
I represent the property.

I represent the owners.

Excuse me, do you have
any form of ID, sir?

Why do I need
to show you my ID?

Oh, I'm under arrest
for something now?

Why shouldn't we arrest you
for obstruction of justice

and find out who you are
in the back of a police car?

This is an abuse of power
under the color of authority.

Oh, you're gonna take my money
now, too? That's perfect.

Oh, Mike, look who it is...
Mr. Jordan Graff.

Well, Mr. Graff,

we'd be really happy
to hear you make that case.

Why don't you just
step over that way

and answer
a few questions?

We want to tap that brilliant
legal mind of yours.

Violating
my civil rights!

You're violating my civil rights!
- Your civil rights?

I can tell you're a big fan
of civil rights.

LAPD! LAPD!

All right, let's make
sure the building is clear.

- Lieutenant?
- Go, Mike.

We found Jordan Graff,

Dwight's fearless leader, downstairs.

Trying to practice law
without any sense.

Well, what do you know?

Must have been an Attorney,
after all.

See if he can talk himself
into an arrest.

Lieutenant! Lieutenant!

Wait, Mike. Wait.

I have a feeling
we just found the weapons.

Send SID to the East Wing
of the first floor

and have them grab Graff's
prints while you're at it.

Catching a break here.

We're catching a break.

That's Hau Sun.
Scratch that, Mike.

Uh, instead of SID,
send Kendall in here right away.

And, uh,
let the Captain know

that we have found
our missing court clerk.

and she can meet her... at the morgue.
