[Indistinct radio chatter]

Flynn: I know.

Okay, victim's name is Drew Hudson,

a D1 from Sex Crimes.

Provenza: No.

The roll-out didn't say anything
about a dead cop.

Yeah, well, obviously Taylor
wants to keep it quiet

while we determine if Hudson
had integrity challenges.

Sykes: And his supervisor...

who says Hudson was on vacation...

is heading downtown
to brief the Captain.

Let's not jump to conclusions.

Since when?

Just because the guy is black...

Uh, we found enough drugs in his body

to imply intent to distribute,

but tell Patrice she's doing a good job

with your sensitivity training.

Body is down this way.

The pool guy showed up for
his weekly cleaning this morning

and saw Hudson's body
through the window.

Almost 20 stab wounds
from a large knife,

mostly in the back.

Well, this is Hollywood.

T.O.D., Kendall?

Say... an hour either side of midnight.

Didn't even pull his gun
from his holster.

How do you get a drop
on a cop like this?

Provenza: Well, maybe he was high.

What kind of drugs did he have?

Crystal meth.

Might have been lifting evidence
from the locker.

Hmm. Some kind of ligature

on the front of the guy's ankles...

Not sure what that is.

What is Mike doing out there?

[Horn honks in distance]

He thinks he's been here before.

When... a previous life?

Uh, Lieutenant?

There are little holes near the bottom

of both sides of this doorway.

It's gone now,
but someone strung a tripwire.

Oh.

Ah. So, when Hudson fell down,
someone jumped on him.

So whoever killed Hudson
was waiting for him.

Uh, whose place is this, anyway?
Where are they?

There's no food in the refrigerator.

Empty closets, no pictures, no dishes.

Provenza: Okay, this is going to be
a massive print and collection job,

and if our cop was high...

Uh, he wasn't, sir.

I saw him last night

at the bar in the Fontenot Hotel.

But I spoke to him.

He looked at me like,
"Don't blow my cover."

He was working on something, sir.

Not according to his supervisor.

And what were you doing
at the Fontenot Hotel?

Um... I was being stood up again.

Tao: I got it!

This is where the cartel leaders
met up with the FBI.

What? Hudson was connected
to the cartel?

- How do you figure that?
- No, no, no.

You see this barcode?

It means that all this furniture
came from a property house.

This place is designed to be
a rental for film locations.

We shot an episode
of "Badge of Justice" here

- back in season one.
- Oh, my God.

- I didn't recognize this place...
- "Badge," "Badge," "Badge."

...because it's been redecorated.

We had more of a neo-Palladian
vibe going on.

Anyway, I texted BOJ's location manager,

and she says the house is
represented by a service,

and the company set to film here

is called 18 and Out Entertainment.

So, how did a murdered detective

become the star of their show?

Valdez: Well, this was not
your average film company.

Their CEO, Bo McClaren,
is a famous porn star,

and his brand is Barely Legal.

He has sex with girls
the minute they turn 18,

and he films it.

Uh, here he is.

Sharon: Ugh. Auditions girls
from all over the country.

Detective, I take it
that you are checking

to see if any of those
young women are underage.

Or if Bo was maybe
"rehearsing" with them

before their birthdays,

but couldn't prove it.

Taylor: Any chance this Bo guy
resented your investigation

and took it out on Hudson?

I doubt it.

When we had no luck
on the underage-sex front,

we passed the case on to Narco,

thought they might have a better chance

getting Bo on a drug charge,

and we moved on.

Well, Hudson didn't.

I just found all this stuff
in his apartment...

fresh notes on McClaren,

interviews with someone named "Juliet"

dated this month.

It's not clear
if he was working the case

or the girl, ma'am.

Does the "Juliet" mean something to you?

No, not that I can think of.

Uh-huh. So, tell me, Valdez,

this vacation that
‭Hudson was supposedly on...

Was it planned?

Not exactly.

Four days ago,
he asked for the week off.

Look, he needed some personal leave...

doesn't make him a bad cop.

Provenza: No, what makes him a bad cop

are the 20 grams of meth
we found on his body.

Meth? Whoa, whoa, whoa.

Nobody mentioned any drugs here.

No one's mentioning it again
outside of this room

until we know for an absolute certainty

how it connects to an L.A.P.D. officer.

Well, Hudson used to work in Narco.

Maybe he used those contacts.

No, no, no. I knew Drew.

He wasn't dirty.

He was a great cop
and a great human being.

I personally will vouch for him...

Detective,
‭however you feel about Hudson,

he was still involved somehow,
one way or the other,

with Bo McClaren.

Captain, we have prepped
a security video

from the hotel bar.

Andy, would you please invite our
famous young porn star in for a chat?

This way, please.

And let me know when my visitor arrives.

[Door opens]

[Clears throat] ‭So...

We're all going to get to see
how you dress for a date.

Detective Drew Hudson
enters the bar at 7:27 alone

about 20 minutes before Julio.

Fast-forward, Buzz.

[Keyboard clacks]

Detective Hudson
doesn't talk to anybody.

When Sanchez comes in,
he sits and waits for a while.

You didn't take off your tie?

Nothing happens for a half an hour.

Seemed longer.

Tao: Julio goes up to the bar,

has the brief exchange with
our victim he told us about,

and he leaves.

And then, seven minutes later,
this woman enters.

- Sharon: Stop right there.
- [Keyboard clacks]

Can you enlarge her face, Buzz?

[Keyboard clacking]

[Computer dings, warbles]

Wow. Look at that resolution.

Detective Valdez,
‭do you recognize this woman?

Could she be our Juliet?

[Exhales softly]

I have no idea.

Tao: Okay, then. Moving on.

Madame X speaks with Detective Hudson

for about 20 minutes.

Nothing unusual happens

until he starts getting ready to leave.

And she gives him some sort
of... an envelope, maybe?

That envelope wasn't on the body.

This woman didn't follow him out?

Buzz: No. The bartenders change shifts,

- and then she drinks until last call.
- [Cellphone chimes]

Provenza: Hope she didn't
drive herself home.

Um, Detective Valdez, please forward

all information relating to
the Bo McClaren investigation

to Major Crimes.

Everyone else, let's try
to identify this woman.

Excuse me.

[Door opens]

[Keyboard clacks, computer dings]

[Door opens]

[Beck exhales sharply]

I'm... I-I'm sorry.

Uh...

- [Door closes]
- I'm sorry to interrupt you at work.

I just... I didn't want
to discuss it on the phone,

and it affects our son.

I'm sure we can work something out.

Have a seat, Sharon.

Have a seat.

So, um, something happened

when I was with Gary last winter,

somethinthat I didn't
know about until later.

And you're worried
it will affect your deal?

No, it's not that.

I, um...

I'm pregnant.

I'm about four months along.

Um, it was a big surprise,

and I didn't mention it sooner

because the doctor said there was
still a chance that I could miscarry,

but now it looks like
I'm doing really well, so...

Sharon, that's, um...

That's wonderful.

Mm.

I'm so glad you feel that way.

Mm.

It's just, um, I don't know
what Rusty's gonna think,

and I've gotten to the point

where I'm afraid
‭of his reactions to things.

Mm.

So, I was wondering if, um...

You would like me to tell him?

- Would you?
- ‭Mm.

Gary won't be involved
in the baby's life at all...

or mine.

And I just... I'm just hoping
that Rusty sees this

as an opportunity to be a big brother,

and that he'll be happy about it.

Yeah... he could be.

Although I do think
he'll have some questions.

Yeah. He always has questions.

Let's just hope
they're easier than usual.

Bo: Do you know what day
this is, Madeline?

Tell us... Why is this day
important to you?

It's my birthday.

See?

18 as of midnight.

And how are you gonna celebrate?

I think that's all we can
comfortably watch together.

Speak for yourself.
I'm proud of my work.

Although, of course, this is unedited.

We only shot it four days ago.

But I like to start my frequent
meetings at the L.A.P.D.

with a demonstration
of how helpful I can be.

So, in addition to coming in
without my lawyer,

I like to do a little...

it's called a "show and tell."

Be our guest.

Now, forgive me if this part
seems over-rehearsed.

I've just had to perform it
many, many times.

18 and Out Entertainment
is a legitimate business

complying with every law...
state, federal, and municipal.

Here you'll find my tax information...

- [Lunchbox unzipping]
- ...dating back to 2010,

as I have be audited every single year.

- These are records of STD testing...
- Patrice's idea of my lunch.

...required of every performer

before and during each shoot.

And here are our permits,

my business license,
our insurance policy,

as well as...

some customer reviews... just for kicks.

Reviews, huh?

People love my work.

- Where do you find your co-stars...
- [Sighs]

...the 18-year-old girls?

These women find me, Detective.

They submit themselves,

either through my website

or one of our other
social-media platforms.

The porn industry isn't always
respectful to women.

I am.

I treat these women as adults,

which, legally, they are.

Were you with one of these
"adults" last night?

No.

I was home alone,
went to sleep around 9:00,

woke up at 6:00.

That's early to bed, early to rise

for an actor like you.

Hey, series work can be a grind.

I need to look my best for camera.

You don't seem surprised

that we're asking you for an alibi.

I'm used to being on the shit-list

of every cop in the L.A.P.D.

Including this guy's?

Yes, including Detective Hudson.

He questioned me a few times,

sent city employees out
to check our permits,

convince landlords it was
a health hazard to rent to us.

A real jerk.

Though, of course,

condolences to his family and all that.

What happened to him?

He was murdered last night in a house

with your company's name
on the lease agreement.

I already told you where I was.

I've installed security cameras
all around my duplex

just so the L.A.P.D.
can confirm my whereabouts

whenever necessary.

Flynn: Does anybody want
to watch any more video

of this asshole?

Beyond that,
I don't know how I can help.

Not while I'm having
this fabulous lunch.

Maybe, uh, patrol can bring it in later.

Sykes: Do you know this woman?

Yeah. That's Lisa Cornell.

She's my producing partner. Why?

Lieutenant. Mike.

At least now we know where she works.

Look, if this is...
if this is about murder,

maybe I should get my attorney involved.

You could.

Though, I have to say,
that would bring an end

to us looking at you
as being 100% cooperative.

Sanchez: Well, maybe you can tell us

why we found Detective Hudson dead

in a house rented by your company

right after he was seen
having drinks with your partner.

Lisa: I was trying to get him
to leave us alone.

[Exhales sharply]

I gave him $15,000 cash.
That's what was in the envelope.

So, you paid off Detective Hudson

to get him to drop his investigation

- into 18 and Out?
- ‭No!

No, I was trying to get him

to stop selling drugs to our performers.

Drugs? What kind of drugs?

Meth, mostly.

But also X and Molly.

Look, I'm a producer.

I also supervise the makeup
for all of Bo's co-stars.

That close to their faces,

I could tell that
‭the girls were getting high.

We are supposed to be
a completely drug-free set,

no alcohol, even.

But Drew kept coming around,
offering the girls great deals,

and not every payment that he accepted

was in cash, either.

Sharon: $15,000.

You find any money
on Detective Hudson's body?

Just a few 20s.

But our friend Bo over here

didn't mention that
Hudson visited the sets.

Well, he also failed to mention
the freely flowing meth.

Who would you people have
believed... me or him?

Tao: Why pay him off last night?

Specifically, what changed?

The drugs... They got
way too strong or tainted.

[Voice breaking] There were two girls...

Jodi Albertson and Kim Murphy...

they overdosed, both of them.

It was after they left set,

but [Sobs] I think that
it finally dawned on Drew

that he could get caught,

and I took the opportunity
to negotiate his departure.

Buzz, contact Dr. Morales
and get some information

on Jodi Albertson
and Kim Murphy, please.

I wasn't bribing a police officer.

I was paying a drug dealer
to leave me alone.

Is that against the law?

What did Bo have to say about that?

He doesn't know.

And seeing as it concerns drugs,

he doesn't want to know.

He won't notice $15,000 missing
from the accounts?

Bo doesn't deal with the bills.

As he likes to tell it,
I'm the workhorse.

He's the stud.

The only number that he cares about

is how many women that he's...

[Sighs] Well, you know.

Any idea how Drew wound up dead
at one of your locations

just a few hours after you paid him off?

Not a clue.

In fact, just sitting there
and talking with him...

it shook me up so badly

that I... I needed to have a few drinks.

Buzz: Uh, Captain?

Uh, Dr. Morales says
that Jodi and Kim's bodies

have already been released
to their families.

He does, however, have another
young lady who came in recently...

same cause of death.

Morales: Overdose from a mixture
of meth and antidepressants.

Antidepressants are uppers
built to built energy and mood.

Meth is an upper, too.

So if you take too much of both,

your heart goes into cardiac arrest.

Her brother's in town now
from Salt Lake City

waiting for us to release her body.

What about Jodi Albertson
and Kim Murphy?

Overdose on the same drug combo,

which is how I was able
to identify the intoxicants

in this young girl so quickly,

not that it's a particularly
rare form of substance abuse.

Lots of teens being
treated for depression

use meth without realizing
it messes with their heart.

But the pattern here is... striking.

How so?

The two previous girls, like Madeline,

died on or right after their birthdays.

- And they were all just 18.
- ‭Flynn: ...just 18.

Yeah. We know.

♪ ♪

[Static]

Rusty: This security video

from the ATM where your father
and uncle were killed,

it'll be pretty gruesome, Buzz.

You want me to watch it first?

Also, the official report says

that the police reviewed
the tape, like, 100 times.

Do you really think that you
might see something they missed?

No, but there have been a lot
of technological advances

since 1986.

I could digitize the video

and run it through some software

designed to extrapolate
from still images,

and that might give us

- a little something to follow-up on.
- [VCR clicking]

[Sighs]

This old VCR is not working.

Maybe Lieutenant Tao can help you.

This is my problem,

and I am not bothering Lieutenant Tao

with some old case that doesn't
concern anyone else but me.

I asked him one question last week,

and that's it.

Y-yeah, no, I-I understand

not wanting to ask anyone else for help.

But we have a segment
of "Identity" to do, Buzz.

So, how... how long do you think

- it's gonna take you to fix all this?
- [Keypad beeping]

Or is there another part of
the story we could tell, maybe?

Rusty, do you have minute?

Uh, well, hopefully, I'm about
to record my next post.

Oh, um, the, uh...
the communications department

decided to stream "Identity"
on their website.

Oh! That's wonderful.

Will I see you at home later?

I was planning
to stay over at Gus' tonight

while his roommate's out of town. Why?

Uh, Captain, we got
‭Madeline's death investigation

from Beverly Hills.

[Exhales] Um...

What's... what's going on?
Is everything okay?

Nothing to worry about.

Um, we'll talk tomorrow.

Buzz, take your time.

I'll let you know if we need you.

Mom says you can take your time.

I've taken 30 years.
Another day won't hurt me.

Anyway, I can't let this
interfere with my job.

But... but she... she just said...

Look, this may be a story for you,

but it's my life,

and this is how I have to get it done.

[Sighs] Man.

[Exhales] Oh, the 20th century.

Sykes: The detectives
from Beverly Hills PD

treated Madeline Kimball's death
as an accidental overdose.

But her hair samples were
negative for long-term abuse.

She could have been a first-time user,

or she didn't take the drugs willingly.

Is there any connection between
Madeline and Detective Hudson?

Uh, two, ma'am.

First, her body was found
in a room at the Fontenot Hotel,

where she'd been staying for a month.

And Bo McClaren was footing the bill.

Any other connection?

Well, we got Madeline's phone
from Beverly Hills PD,

and it's got both Bo
and Drew Hudson's names

in her Snapchat contacts.

Maybe Bo got jealous...

killed Madeline, then Drew Hudson.

Uh, patrol e-mailed us

security footage from Bo's house.

His alibi for Drew's murder
looks legitimate.

He has millions of dollars,

so whether he just didn't like
being investigated,

or our cop was moving in
on his girlfriend,

he could have hired someone
to off Hudson.

Well, either way, that's not
enough for a search warrant,

so what do you want to do now?

Dr. Morales said that
Madeline's older brother is here

waiting to take her body home.

Let's see what he knows.

Nathan: Bo was the worst thing
that's ever happened to her.

Let me show you.

Before she met Bo,

these were the types
of pictures she posted.

And then that jerk started
talking to her online,

encouraging her to open a new account

and post things like this.

Taylor: He hasn't called a lawyer?

Provenza: He's not really a suspect.

If his sister bought drugs
from a dirty cop,

he has a civil suit against us
the size of our budget.

Well, finding Detective Hudson's killer

is our first priority.

Yes, but the money is
a very close second, though...

extremely close.

Flynn: So, you think all these photos

are the result of Bo's influence?

Of course they are.

And they sent her Instagram
followers through the roof.

Her pictures got reposted everywhere.

I always thought that
girls t-that needed

this kind of attention

came from broken homes or whatever,

but Madeline...

Madeline was loved.

And all it took to ruin everything

was Bo flying up to see her.

W-Wait. Bo McClaren went to
Salt Lake before she turned 18?

Yeah.

Yeah, and Madeline didn't tell us.

But I started following Bo
on Instagram, too,

and he posted a picture
of her... in person...

and then all these guys

started making
disgusting comments on them.

- [Computer beeps]
- Tao: Yep.

There's a post geo-tagged in Salt Lake

on Bo's Instagram account...
two months old.

Caption reads,
"Scouting new talent in Utah.

Can't wait to give Madeline
the ultimate birthday present."

Did Madeline post this photo, too?

Did he send it to her?

Uh, we can image-search the picture

and see where else it turns up.

...into thinking that she was special,

to con her into coming to L.A.

When did Madeline fly out?

About a month ago,
right after graduation.

Bo must have sent her a ticket,

because we didn't even know she was gone

until after she landed.

I thought that that cop
that met her at the airport

might have changed her mind, but...

What cop... Hudson?

Hudson met her at the airport? Why?

Could you panic more quietly, please?

We need to hear this.

Flynn: What do you mean,

she met a cop at the airport?

What, you guys didn't know?

She said that there was
a detective from the L.A.P.D.

waiting for her
‭when she got off the plane.

Did she mention the officer's name?

No. She thought that I called
the L.A.P.D. to bring her home,

and... and left me
this screaming voicemail.

- [Computer beeps]
- There she is.

- After that message...
- ‭Oh, boy.

...we didn't hear from her for weeks.

Look at the name on Madeline's
new Instagram account.

"Juliet2yourRomeo."

"Juliet" was the name in Hudson's
files about Bo McClaren.

Provenza: He wasn't selling her drugs.

He was using her
as a criminal informant.

- ...waiting for her birthday to...
- Taylor: Oh, God.

He put he a minor
in this cesspool as a C.I.

without protection, and she died?

Just when I thought things
couldn't get any worse.

I have to loop the City Attorney
here on this right away.

- I tried to tell her...
- [Door opens]

...to reach out to that cop, you know?

If Hudson was just trying

to roll up Bo McClaren's
operations on his own

using Madeline...

Then he... he took his own vacation

to find Madeline's killer.

He's not a dirty cop.

No. But by going solo,
he got himself killed,

and probably Madeline, too.

Which is why we don't

investigate criminal suspects alone.

Do you guys... do you know
if she filmed anything yet?

Oh, no.

We can't let him release that.

I mean, she's dead!

Surely he wouldn't post that.

Provenza: I'm beginning to wonder

about how low you can go, Mr. McClaren.

We know that you use girls
who mean nothing to you

for financial gain.

But apparently you're scumbag enough

to do it the ones you care about, too.

Can we skip the insults

and just get right to the questions?

And you can address me, not my client.

He put Madeline up in a fancy hotel,

wined and dined her
‭more than his other "co-stars."

So what? Taking a girl out to dinner

isn't against the law, even in Utah.

Why didn't he mention her to us before?

You were questioning Bo
about the death of Drew Hudson.

Madeline's accidental overdose
never came up.

We're not so sure it was accidental.

Maybe your client gave Madeline
an overdose, Charles,

to shut her up.

- To shut her up? What for?
- Bo, not another word.

You let them explain,
you let me respond.

Madeline cozied up to Detective Hudson

by telling him about
‭you drugging teenage girls.

You had to keep her quiet,
and Hudson, too.

Does he seem genuinely surprised?

Don't forget, he's an actor.

Hardin: This wasn't about my client.

He knew nothing
about the drugs... Tell them.

I never bought drugs,

never gave girls drugs.

I'm not part of that process.

Tao: Oh. So now it's a "process."

I never touch drugs.

No, you just knowingly
look the other way

while three girls die.

Three girls?! What?!

Jodi Albertson, Kim Murphy.

- They died from the same batch of...
- No, they did not!

Jodi and Kim went back home
to Indiana and Idaho!

They went to the morgue!

Okay. Lisa told me they'd left.

She told me they just went home.

If somebody was getting
these girls drugs,

it was Lisa, not me.

Lisa... ‭your partner/makeup artist.

Why was she giving these girls drugs?

Sometimes these gir... women
get stage fright, okay?

- Lisa used to act herself, so she knows...
- Hardin: Okay, that's it.

Bo doesn't take drugs himself,

and he doesn't give drugs
to the girls, all right?

If this is true, then Lisa
lied to us about everything.

Maybe Lisa also lied about the murder.

Hardin: ...Cope with being naked
on camera in different ways.

And, as we all know,

if, uh, an actress develops
a case of nerves,

production and scheduling

demands that producers help them out.

"As we all know"? Really?

...And sets and locations can be...

- Excuse me.
- ‭...intimidating places

- for newcomers making film debuts.
- [Door closes]

[Door opens]

Sharon: All right, Bo.

If you weren't personally involved

in giving the girls drugs

and you want to prove it,
call Lisa right now.

Tell her you want to rush
and film something

with a couple of new performers
tomorrow.

And that your co-stars seem like
they might be very anxious.

- [Rusty exhales softly]
- [Door closes]

Hey!

I thought you'd be at work already.

We set a trap last night
for our suspects,

and then we need to see
if she takes the bait,

which could happen at any moment.

So, why don't you sit down for a sec?

Okay.

Uh, what's going on?

Well... [Clears throat]

...your mother came
to visit me yesterday.

Oh, no.

Well, it's not exactly negative.

What's that supposed to mean?

It means that she is pregnant,

and, um, I'm afraid

the father of the child is Gary.

This is real?

She said this?

Oh, my God. [Sighs]

I fully understand how this
could be upsetting for you.

Oh, "upsetting"? Sharon,
this is not just upsetting.

And I don't even know what to
think about it myself, really.

But your mother is more stable.

So, getting pregnant
with... with Gary's child

is more stable?

Sharon, she has a job

that doesn't even
pay her enough to make rent.

She's house-sitting
at different apartments,

and... and right now is
the longest she has been sober

since I was 6 years old.

I see the challenges,

and I also think about how fragile
people in recovery can be.

I think about that a lot.

Yeah, but I...

- I finally feel like she was...
- [Cellphone vibrating]

...starting to get her life
back on track, and...

Maybe it would help you to
stop thinking about your mother

and focus on what's best for the child.

Lieutenant, ‭could you hold on a second?

You're not gonna like this either,

but I told Sharon
‭that she could come here tonight

to talk to you about it.

Uh, she shouldn't have this baby.

That is your mother's choice, young man.

It's not yours.

Yes, Lieutenant?

On her way to meet Bo,

our producer has made a pit stop
at a familiar location.

Sharon: [Through cellphone] All right.

Let's hope we catch her in the act.

Oh, well, we're prepared
for her reaction.

We'll call you back, 5 or 10.

Thanks.

[Footsteps approaching]

[Lisa clears throat]

Hi.

I'm here to, uh, pick up
the to-go order.

Now, this is odd.

That you'd just walk up to a bar
at this hour,

my old expert on Internet dating here

has an order waiting for you.

Uh, do you mind if we take
a look in that bag?

Hey!

We got a runner headed outside!

[Panting]

L.A.P.D. Stay still.

In case you haven't figured
it out yet, Ms. Cornell,

you're under arrest.

Stop! L.A.P.D.! Stop!

Stop!

[Shouts indistinctly]

Don't move! Get your hands up!

[Panting]

You have the right to remain silent.

- Anything you say...
- [Handcuffs click]

...can and will be used against
you in a court of law.

You have the right to an attorney.

If you cannot afford one,

one will be appointed for you
by the state.

[Sighs]

Well, that was unpleasant.

- Any luck?
- ‭No.

Despite having his fingerprints
on a large bag of drugs

and running from the police,

Brady the bartender
has denied any wrongdoing

and invoked his rights.

I've got him on distribution,

but nothing on either murder.

Unless, in the search of his apartment,

you guys found a knife

matching up
to Detective Hudson's wounds,

hopefully with dried blood on it?

No, but we did find two keys

belonging to the house
where Hudson was murdered.

A location rented by Bo's company,

and Lisa said she was in charge

of all the business side of things.

- Two keys?
- ‭Mm.

It's helpful, but still circumstantial.

The most frustrating thing about this...

Mm?

...is Bo McClaren will walk out of here

free as a lark.

I'm not so sure about that.

Provenza: We're not interested

in hearing you say, "I did it," Lisa,

because that we already know.

We have two people...

you and your buddy
Brady the bartender...

and only one deal to hand out.

Gilman: Hilarious.

Without Lisa's statement, nothing says

Detective Drew Hudson
wasn't selling drugs

on the 18 and Out sets, too.

Except her business partner
who's already given her up.

Oh, and by the way... It occurs to me

that the family of this Madeline girl

could end up with a big, fat
lawsuit against the L.A.P.D.

no matter what was going on.

So, instead of walking in here
and saying, "Boo,"

why not make us a reasonable offer?

Okay, how about I prosecute Lisa

for two murders instead of four?

- Excuse me?
- Wait, what?! Four?!

Uh, you remember Jodi and Kim...

the girls that you were
so weepy about yesterday?

They overdosed on your drugs.

Four murders?

Look, those young women
took the drugs themselves.

They misused them.

And Lisa has an unbreakable alibi

for when your cop was murdered.

Yes. She met Drew at the hotel

so that you could
get your alibi on camera.

Brady was finishing his shift.

As I settled my tab, he left
while you and Drew were talking.

And Brady had a key to the location

where Detective Hudson
was stabbed to death...

a location rented by you.

Do you know why you're so worried?

Because you know Brady
and you know how scared he is.

He ran off, and he left you
holding the bag!

If you don't talk to us, he will!

And at trial, the way

you help vulnerable teens
with their stage fright

will be carefully explained to the jury.

And they won't like that.

It makes the death penalty

- sound like a public service.
- Hobbs: Yeah.

We have special circumstances
wherever you look...

double homicide, lying in wait.

What was the other one?
Oh, I know... killing a cop.

I didn't kill him!
I was at the bar! I d...

You didn't swing the ax,

but you placed Detective
Hudson's head on the block...

Oh! ‭...and that is good
enough for Murder One.

So, you're gonna tell me

everything I want to know right now,

or I'm moving on to run-away Brady

and you can take your chances in court.

[Whispering]

Come on, Lisa.

Give me what I need.

Give me what I need.

No murder charges,
no consecutive sentences.

We take the max on manslaughter

and possession
with intent to distribute,

all served concurrently... nothing else.

That depends on what
her hypothetical statement

sounds like.

I-I never gave meth
to anybody that didn't want it.

And... and Bo was pleased

that the scenes
were going more smoothly,

and that his... his co-stars,
they seemed less inhibited.

But sometimes for... for these girls,

- the crash can be really hard.
- Thank you, Lisa.

That was very helpful.

So, Brady read on the Internet

that antidepressants can help

to ease the come-down from the meth.

So you gave them to Jodi and Kim?

Look, I'm not a doctor, okay?

I didn't know that
you can't mix these things!

And then, of course,

the motel maids find
Jodi and Kim, not me.

I-I didn't even know that they were dead

for a couple of days.

What happened with Madeline?

It was her birthday,

and I could tell that she was anxious,

so I just offered her a little bump.

And just... she just couldn't handle it.

I guess she just didn't
have a tolerance,

and she went from zero to 60,

and she just kept saying,

"Oh, my God, it's happening to me!

It's happening to me, just like
it happened to Jodi and Kim!"

Only she had never even met Jodi or Kim!

So that's how you learned

that Madeline was talking
to Detective Hudson.

I had no idea the police
were investigating anything

until that moment.

And... and Madeline
was so messed up that I...

...I had to drive her back to the hotel.

Where you handed her off to Brady,

and you told him
that she was an informant!

I didn't know that he was gonna

deliberately gonna give her
those antidepressants!

And she was friends with that cop!

Provenza: "That cop"?

That cop's name was
Detective Drew Hudson.

Now, when Madeline died,
Detective Hudson...

I thought that he was going to kill me.

I guess that he had been
in daily contact with Madeline,

and he was convinced

that she was going to help him
arrest Bo for drug dealing,

at least, that's what he told me.

And Detective Hudson explained to me

that he was working the case alone,

and that if I helped him to get Bo...

Sanchez: Then he'd find a way
to keep you out of it.

So you set up a meeting
with Hudson at the bar,

lied to him... told him what?

That there were drugs
hidden at the location

in a bag with Bo's prints on it.

A-And, yes, I gave him
the key to the house.

But, look, uh, this whole thing...

This was all Brady's plan.
I argued against it.

She says all this in court

before we arrest Brady on these charges

so she can't take it back,

and I give her one count of Murder Two,

and one count ‭of Conspiracy to
Commit Murder.

Wait, wait! We were talking about...

That's what it's gonna be, Gilman,

or I'll get what I need from Brady

and you can take her statement
and shove it up your ass.

Sanchez: That's
a double-homicide with a cop!

So, the bartender and
the makeup artist go to jail,

and the sexual predator... he goes free.

We'll see.

Provenza: And you do not want a jury...

We'll see.

...to pass judgment on your life.

Uh, Captain, I just spoke
to Madeline's brother.

In return for his family not suing us,

he wants to make sure
all of Bo McClaren's video

featuring his little sister
is destroyed.

You think that's doable?

Very doable, and that also allows you

to treat Detective Hudson's death

as a tragedy for the L.A.P.D.
and for his family.

Which it is, yes. Which it is.

McClaren and his attorney
are waiting with Flynn

by the elevator.

I'll go and ask them
for the video, then.

Oh, no. I'll talk to them. Um, Amy?

And we're not going to ask for anything.

Come on. Come on.

How is that my problem?

Flynn: If you knew the girls were high,

[Elevator doors close]

Hey, Sharon.

Your moral values aside,

these girls only got
what they asked for.

Really?

The meth took away their ability

to properly understand their actions.

When it comes to sex,

who properly understands their actions?

Beck: I didn't exactly plan
on having you, either.

Was that a mistake?

Look, I admit that your life was hard.

But you turned out okay.

Mom, the only reason we are even here,

having this conversation,

is because I witnessed a murder victim

being buried in Griffith Park.

Are... are you planing on
arranging something like that

for your next kid, too?

Well, I can't have an abortion.

I'm too far along.

I'm... I'm not even
suggesting that, Mom.

Well, what are you suggesting,

besides that I'm a terrible person

with no ability to change?

That you have the baby, Mom,

but you put it up for adoption

so that the child has

a decent chance at a normal life.

[Sighs]

I won't hold anything
that you just said...

[Swallows]

...against you, Rusty.

Because I know I've done terrible things

and Gary did terrible things.

But I... I can't do this all on my own.

So, if you can't support me...

then... I might have to let
someone else have my baby.

I will think about
