Major Crimes (2012–2018): Season 6, Episode 3 - Sanctuary City: Part 3 - full transcript
As Major Crimes continues to search for the remaining St. Joseph's Three, Sharon finds her personal life threatening her career.
Previously on "major crimes"...
Reporter: Yesterday, three
teenagers went missing
during a catholic
school field trip.
Mason: The boy on the far
right, his name's Lucas garza,
and he's been a type-a
diabetic since he was 7.
Where are the other two boys?
Middle boy, Ryan rojas,
two months ago,
his stepfather died,
putting him and his
mother in financial trouble.
Your husband fell off your
balcony after beating your son.
Miguel Diaz is a dreamer.
He would never bring unwanted
attention on to his family,
who are undocumented.
Buzz: Why don't you want us to
look under the floor of your closet?
It's exactly a million dollars,
and every penny
of it is legally ours.
The diazes were obviously
putting together a ransom.
You've actually made me
suspect Ryan's biological father.
I said you don't
have to do this!
Oh, what the hell?
Oh, I forgot, there's
the Diaz's neighbor
and his daughter, who
has a driver's license.
We found Lucas garza's
body at a catholic church.
You know who hangs
out at catholic churches?
Priests.
Father Jonas tried to stop me
from looking into the
locker of Ryan rojas.
Look, all I'm saying
is father Jonas is
a lot more involved
in that kid's life than
the average teacher.
He's been transferred
to six different dioceses
over the past five years.
That's why I'm thankful we have
someone here who is capable
of dealing with the
priests of St. Joseph's
in an extremely personal way.
Where'd he go?
Father Jonas has
left the country.
This search is unnecessary.
It would have been, had
the church cooperated.
Instead... we cooperated when you
demanded to search a house of god.
Because there was a
dead 15-year-old boy
found in your flower beds.
Father Jonas is gone.
And I have to say, Sharon,
this is not the way I
expected to be treated.
Obstruction of justice
is a very serious charge.
Attempting to break
the sacred bond
between a penitent and a
priest is not merely sacrilegious,
but grounds for excommunication.
No one was asking him to reveal
what he'd heard in confession.
And consider how
excommunicating the investigator
responsible for finding the
boys would sound to the media.
Excuse me, commander.
I'll be right back.
All right, everybody, listen up.
This is what I
need you to find...
Condoms. Needles. Insulin.
We're looking for
anything scandalous
or even somewhat incriminating.
How about dust?
That's all that Jonas
seems to have left behind.
Buzz: And DNA. Maybe
the techs can find something.
I'll take a run at that
laptop in the common area.
See if father Jonas
left us any crumbs.
Well, the bathroom's
scrubbed clean.
Not even a pubic hair.
Tmi. Tmi.
Yes. Thanks for the
finer details, Wes.
Where, oh, where
did our little priest go?
Sharon: He's in Mexico?
Since late this afternoon.
And are you sure he didn't
take the other two boys with him?
That's your theory?
He dumped Lucas
and fled south of the
border with Ryan and Miguel?
Why not take all the boys?
Couldn't fit all three
bodies in the trunk.
That is morbid, Sharon.
Yes, it is. Where in
Mexico is father Jonas?
I can't say.
Who can?
Any further questions
should be directed to me.
No more interviews
with our orders, regulars,
or interns without my consent.
Your primary focus should
be on finding these boys,
not hounding a respected
and much-loved priest.
How much loved?
I won't tolerate remarks
implying misbehavior
on the part of father Jonas.
These boys have most
likely run away from home.
And if you would look for
them more aggressively...
I can assure you,
bishop Calhoun,
the search for Ryan and Miguel is
being conducted on an epic scale.
Which is why it's important
that we interview every suspect.
Suspects, yes. Priests? No.
Well, on the venn diagram,
suspects and priests
sometimes overlap.
Your bias against the church
is leading you in
the wrong direction.
Your excellency,
I'm a lifelong catholic.
I hold no bias
against the church.
And I am in charge
of this investigation.
Then stop these
baseless accusations
and the reckless media
coverage they've created.
If there's no reason to
suspect father Jonas,
why send him away?
Was the trip planned,
or did you find a great airfare
for murder suspects online?
The church was worried
about father Jonas's welfare.
Obviously, for cause.
We can extradite him. Can you?
Did you know father Jonas
holds dual citizenship?
Mexico might not feel obligated
to hand over one of their own,
relations between our two
countries being what they are.
These boys went missing
during a catholic
school-sponsored field trip.
One of them was found
dead on church property.
That's not just a crime.
That's a civil lawsuit.
Every second that
you refuse to cooperate,
the damages in this lawsuit
become more expensive.
The archdiocese of Los Angeles
has paid out over $700
million in abuse scandals.
Closed churches.
Shut down monasteries.
How much more can
you afford to lose?
It's kind of you to care.
Perhaps that's a reaction to
the great favor I'm doing you.
And that would be...?
Removing a line of
inquiry that leads nowhere.
I'm sorry for these
boys, one here illegally,
the other suffering from
a troubled family life.
We will pray for their recovery
and the quick end
to your investigation.
[ Door opens ]
Bastard.
There is precedent for hiding
problem priests in Mexico.
You know, this could
be a great opportunity
for our friends at the FBI
if they will tell us where in
Mexico father Jonas is from.
I'll discuss it with
special agent fey.
Meanwhile, I have avenues
of my own I need to pursue.
Excuse me.
[ Door closes ]
I've been standing
here for almost an hour.
Nancy, so sorry.
But I'm about to make
it worth your while.
There's a new person of
interest in the St. Joseph's three,
but this is not for
attribution, understood?
If you're not gonna
go on the record,
don't give me the
person-of-interest crap.
It looks like the missing boys
killed their friend and ran off.
If that's not really the answer,
I want some good background
on which I can follow up.
How about a young priest
who had a special
fascination with these boys?
And who was
repeatedly transferred
across the American southwest?
And whom the church sent out
of town yesterday afternoon...
To Mexico?
And the evidence
against this priest is...?
Buzz: Hold on. I
think this is the one.
They can't cross the
border if it's a wall.
And if the "mexi-cants"
try to launch themselves
over the wall...
Sorry, sorry.
We'll build a moat!
Sorry. There's so
many of these videos
of Marvin just talking
and shooting guns.
Talking where, though?
That's not his backyard.
This is what I was looking for.
[ Loud, rapid gunfire ]
Ah, buzz! The volume!
Sorry. Sorry. Sorry.
Hey, so, while your tech
tries to find the right video,
you should know we have
every station south of the border
eyes-open for Jonas.
If he's even there.
We have no way of knowing
who exits into Mexico.
All our cameras are
looking to see who comes in.
This is war. We
have to fight. No, no.
The government failed us, but...
And this Marvin guy...
He's an extremist.
He doesn't stand for
what the department of
justice is trying to accomplish.
Whatever you
need to tell yourself.
I tell myself that, regardless
of my personal feelings,
I have an obligation
to uphold the law.
What do you tell yourself? Hey.
Oh, I'm... I'm sorry I'm late.
- [ Gasps ]
- Oh!
- Man!
- Ah.
- Buzz, tao.
- Oh.
- Sykes.
- Julio!
- Julio.
- Captain.
Oh, my goodness.
You still have five more
days of bereavement leave left.
Sanchez: It really
bothered me, sitting home,
watching all of this on the news
and having Mark ask me
if any more boys were getting
kidnapped from St. Joseph's.
He's, uh... he's afraid
to go back to school.
Hey. FBI, right?
- Mm-hmm.
Detective Sanchez, meet
special agents vega and fey.
Tao: They are part
of an ad hoc task force
assembled by chief Mason
to locate our missing boys.
So, who did it?
A handsy priest,
the guy next door,
the kid's best friends... who?
Paige: We're not there yet.
Detective Camila
Paige, missing persons.
So sorry for your loss.
Julio, detective Paige was
gifted to us by chief Mason.
Mason. You a spy?
No, she's not a spy.
She's a damn good
detective is what she is,
and she also raised five
younger siblings all on her own.
Now, you could get
some hints from cami
on single parenting if
you treat her properly.
Yes, sir.
You okay?
Here it is. This. See?
Those "mexi-cants"
aren't coming here for jobs.
They're coming to take over
a civilization they
couldn't build themselves.
Wow. Welcome back to you, too.
- [ Chuckles ]
- Sorry, Julio. I'll mute it.
Watch... here. [
Electronic beeping ]
You see?
Marvin has a federal
firearms license,
just like special
agent vega said,
but that is a flash suppressor,
and he doesn't have any of
those registered to his name.
That's enough for the
feds to book him, isn't it?
And get us some alone
time with his daughter, Kelly.
Is there something we can
do to hurry this up? Mm-hmm.
Marvin garret has
an ffl to sell weapons.
Would the FBI care to join
us to do a compliance check?
[ Pounding on door ]
LAPD! Open up!
[ Spectators murmuring ]
Hey, keep your distance, please!
Now, stand back. Stand back!
[ Pounding ]
You better have a damn
good explanation for this.
Federal firearms
license compliance check!
Sir, if you could please
step out onto your por...
Fascist pigs!
LAPD doesn't do federal
compliance checks.
But we do. FBI, sir.
I need you to step
outside right now.
Or I could cuff you and
put you in a patrol car.
Test me. Please.

What's going on, detective?
Does this have
to do with Miguel?
We are conducting a
search of the premises.
That's all I can say.
What'd you do, you bastard?
What did you do to my son?!
[ Camera shutter clicks ]
No weapons so far. No.
I don't know where he was
shooting or filming his vlog,
but it wasn't here.
Check out this bookcase.
Looks fake to me.

Marvin has a library?

Sanchez: It's a

through the back gate?
Um, okay, but, um,

He'll be meeting you downtown.

[ Door creaks, closes ]
[ Keypad beeps ]
Detective Sanchez, major crimes.
I'd like to speak to someone
with a cadaver dog, please.
No more word on the
death of Lucas garza,
but police arrested
Marvin garret.
Reporter:
Understandably distraught
that their neighbor may
have harmed their son.
As the St. Joseph's
three morphs into a story
including the possible murder
of a diabetic 15-year-old...
right next door
to Marvin garret,
who has no visible
means of employment.
And police refuse to rule out
potential connections
to drug cartels...
More like the connections
to the Mexican cartels
can't be found.
Well, they're speculating.
You remember how
journalists are, don't you?
[ Chuckles ]
Look, um, have you heard that...
That Phillip stroh might
be back in the country?
Oh. Um...
Mom told me.
Well, it isn't confirmed.
All of these people
were connected to Phillip
stroh's past in some way.
And they've all
been dropping dead...
"accidentally" or by "suicide."
But Andrea says that
they all knew stroh...
And that he murdered
them. Uh-huh.
And you want me to do
what with these names?
I'd like copies from
local authorities
of their death investigations.
And you can get
those for me, buzz.
All right, I'll see what I can.
Hey! It's us!
[ Chuckles ]
I've got to text my sister
and tell her to go online
and look for me on the news.
I think that was a national.
Hey, superstar.
We're about to
start the interviews.
I'll be right there, lieutenant.
And don't worry.
I'll file for these
death reports today.
[ Door whooshes ]
Where my dad?
You know, my talking to
you is gonna really upset him.
Why, though? Because it will.
After you yelled out your name
and told me to call the
LAPD, he took away my cell.
And we don't have a landline.
Where is he? My dad?
Tao: He's with
federal authorities.
He had an unregistered
suppressor in his arsenal.
An unregistered
suppressor? Is that bad?
He has a license to s... he
was out of compliance with his ffl,
and he's under arrest.
Which is a bit of a problem
because, as a minor,
we need to make sure
that you're supervised.
[ Door closes ] I'll
try and make that
as easy as possible
on you. Anything?
Uh, no, ma'am. Well, not bodies.
We dug up some parts
of a new sprinkler system
not very well installed.
Well, no dead bodies.
That's a positive.
Tao: We're trying to
establish a timeline
around when Miguel, Lucas,
and Ryan went missing.
Do you know where your father
was last Thursday at 11:00 A.M.?
Where my dad was?
Uh, well, 11:00
A.M. last Thursday,
uh, dad was with me all day.
Homeschooling. Really?
What were you studying?
Um... uh, calculus...
And, uh, physics.
American history.
Discussing Andrew Jackson
and his first loss to
John Quincy Adams.
Why homeschooling?
L.A. unified is a joke.
Even you liberals know that.
I'm not sending her to a
place where she has to learn
surrounded by scary thugs
who don't speak English.
There's private
school. Parochial.
They protect
illegals. Criminals.
Besides, I'm not
paying for school
when it's supposed to be free.
So, was it calculus or history?
Either way, they're
each other's alibis.
It's gonna take hard
evidence to break that.
Unless Kelly is
involved somehow.
It's not always the girlfriend.
But when multiple
boys are in the mix...
I'm trying to keep her
from the wrong ideas
and the wrong kind of people.
Whatever dad says, Miguel
and Ryan are totally chill.
Like me, you know? When
did you all become friends?
Miguel moved in next
door when I was 12.
I met Lucas and
Ryan year before last.
And when did you
and Lucas start dating?
Look. Your father isn't here,
and he'll never
know what we said.
Did you feel like your
relationship with Lucas
wasn't real because your father
didn't want you to... No, no, no,
it was very real, twice as real
as what my mom and dad had.
We would've been together,
uh, six months next week.
And we did go out together.
Twice.
Why didn't your
father like Lucas?
Did he ever threaten him?
No.
He threatened me.
He told me to, like,
stay away from Lucas.
[ Voice breaking ] But I...
I loved him...
We're very sorry
for your loss, Kelly.
Did you know your father
called Lucas' parents once?
Damn right I called them.
I ordered them to keep their
son away from my daughter
or I'd report him to the police.
Oh, well, you totally
should have done that.
See, one of the
LAPD's main missions
is to stop teenagers
from dating each other.
How did you explain your
dislike of Lucas to his father?
I told them we were
different. We weren't catholic.
We weren't brown. We
were born in america.
Lucas garza was born in america.
Where were his parents
born? Or his grandparents?
Where were you born, by the way?
You the token latino?
I heard on the news
the garzas are third-generation
Americans like me
and Daniella rojas's
family is from San Antonio...
Pre-alamo.
Why is the news
even talking about
how long people have been here?
Let's turn off the politics.
Switch back to Kelly
for a moment, buzz.
Man: Is more American
than you'll ever be.
Paige: Did Lucas have
problems with his parents, too?
Not like me.
Well, I mean, Lucas worried
about his father
having to go to rehab.
How did that make Lucas feel?
Lucas didn't understand
why his father chose
drugs over his family.
And I think... [ Sniffles ]
I think Lucas
blamed himself a little.
I wish I could
talk to him again.
[ Sighs ] Just for a minute.
And what about Miguel
and his mom and dad?
Did they have
issues, as well? No.
Well, except being
terrified they'd get deported.
They were all afraid of
that except for his big sister.
Her husband's an American
citizen, so she's safe.
That's why that little bastard
tried to date my daughter...
So he could marry her
someday and get his green card.
But Kelly's too smart for that.
She knows what
Mexicans are like.
And yet she dated a
Mexican American boy.
She dated the American part.
Flynn: What about Ryan
rojas and your daughter?
What was the nature... Ryan
interested in my daughter?
[ Laughs ] That never happened.
Obviously. Why?
Why is that obvious?
That boy whistled
when he walked.
What does that mean?
Ryan had a crush on Miguel.
I mean, he never said it. But...
I could tell.
Was Ryan out to everyone?
Not to his mom. Or
the rest of his family.
But we knew.
And he said he'd talked
about it to father Jonas.
I don't... I don't know how
that worked out for him, but...
Father Jonas. Ah, the
secrets you didn't share.
His relationship with Ryan
seems like a very, very big deal.
And maybe his relationship
with the other boys, too.
You wanna know what I
think happened to those boys?
'Cause I'm pretty sure
I could tell you. Really?
Neighbor boy got jealous of
diabetic boy dating my daughter,
so he and his
compadre killed him.
You know that
Latin temper, right?
They would never get
physical with each other.
Especially not
over me. Miguel...
Miguel would never hurt Lucas.
Now, this is important, Kelly.
And I know it might be a
secret, a really big secret.
But did the boys tell you
why they might be
skipping out on the field trip
or where they might be going?
If there's anything that
you can tell us about
where Ryan, Miguel, and Lucas
went last Thursday morning,
anything at all...
[ Breathes deeply ]
I don't want my father to know.
Tao: We won't tell
him. We promise.
Don't be afraid, Kelly.
You won't be punished.
Okay, uh, look, uh...
I wasn't supposed
to say anything,
but, uh, Lucas told me
that he and Miguel and Ryan
were doing something
every guy in L.A. wanted to do
and that he was gonna
get the best selfies ever.
Selfies? Of what?
Him, Miguel, and Ryan doing
the coolest thing on earth.
And they didn't mention
where they were gonna do it?
No. I wanted to know where.
But Lucas was like, "how
can it be a surprise if I tell you?"
And I asked, "what if
you get caught skipping?"
And he said they'd be back
before the field trip was over
and... and no one would
ever know they'd been gone.
I'll tell you where
I think they are.
I think they're at your cabin.
Cabin? What cabin?
Nolan: Maybe it's a trailer,
near where you shoot off
your mouth and your guns
for an unhyphenated america.
Vega: Listen, my friend.
You're facing time
in a federal prison.
If I were you, I'd
start helping here.
If you were me, you'd
ask for your lawyer,
which is what I'm doing.
[ Rapid gunfire ]
Paige: Any idea where your
father took those videos of himself?
No.
I just thought he was driving
off to visit some girlfriend
he didn't want to tell me about.
Oh, my god.
You know, before my mom died,
he'd never have
done anything like this.
And now he's just...
[ Sighs ] He's so angry.
Angry where, though?
Yeah, where? I spent three hours
trying to match up Marvin's
private shooting range
to a satellite
map... And nothing.
Ain't police work fun?
[ Door opens ] Okay, turn down
those interviews for a second
and listen to this.
Is a person of interest
in the case of the
St. Joseph three.
This priest has been
relocated several times,
most recently when he was
alleged to have had affairs
with several mothers of
students in his last school.
A source inside the LAPD
has confirmed to me...
[ TV turns off ] Chief!
You tipped her off?
You said that this investigation
was not a press opportunity.
I changed my mind.
Oh. So it's okay for you
to decide that, but not me?
Uh-huh. See, I'm the boss.
And sometimes the press
can go where we can't.
This story's going to make
the church very, very angry.
What'll they do? UN-christen us?
I'm not catholic. I am.
Well, the important thing here
is that father Jonas was
doing the moms of his students.
He did seem close to
Ryan's mom and to Ryan.
Maybe he got close to
Ryan to get closer to his mom.
As an observant detective
who looks closely at details,
I noticed that the mothers
of our missing boys were all,
in their own way,
extremely attractive.
I agree.
It would be wrong to rule
out the married mothers.
You know, I may end
up liking you after all,
special agent fey.
All right, three missing
boys, three attractive women,
one handsome priest.
But how does that
all add up to murder?
Buzz: The death reports you
requested came in last night.
One suicide and
lots of accidents.
Rusty: How many clumsy
people did stroh know?
A drowning. An electrocution.
A single car accident.
A fall off a hillside.
There doesn't
seem to be a pattern.
Stroh is the pattern.
Buzz, he links all of
these people together.
But why would he come back
after getting completely away?
This just... It doesn't
make no sense.
Stroh's psychotic.
Maybe looking for
sense is a waste of time.
Maybe I need to find out
more about all these people.
Where are we on father
Jonas? Have you found him yet?
Well, the FBI is
running point on Jonas
with the Mexican authorities.
Sharon: In the meantime,
we're confirming
the alibis of all our parents.
Especially the women,
since one of them
might have been
straying from her marriage.
But I doubt father Jonas was
sneaking them into the rectory.
I think double-checking
Dr. Garza's alibi
is a very good idea.
Dr. Dad killed his only son?
- He was taking a lot of drugs.
- With the addict,
it's the disease
calling the shots,
not the person.
Or in light of what we know
about our missing priest,
maybe Dr. Garza found out
his wife was having an affair
with father Casanova
and blamed his son.
Father Jonas is a
known mother-lover.
And Ms. Garza is a lot
younger than her husband
and, well, more than
just a little attractive.
Excuse me. Are...
are you rating her?
Sanchez: Ma'am? No.
Yes, Julio? I'm just saying...
If the dad did it, why
take the other boys,
unless it was to make it
look like a plot by the church?
None of these questions matter
while Miguel and
Ryan are still missing.
If they're dead, and we
don't find their bodies,
the defense will use them
as a credible alternative
to whomever we arrest.
And if they're alive... guys,
if Miguel and Ryan are alive,
they're my number-one suspects.
These boys didn't
just vanish, okay?
They didn't have the resources.
And they weren't
planning to disappear.
They were coming back
before the field trip was over.
Uh, these kids are either dead
or they're being
held against their will.
But if you trust the wires
we're running, not for a ransom.
Hmm. Well, too bad
we don't have a suspect
who's taken a vow of poverty.
Oh, wait.
But there's also
Ryan's biological father,
who might only want out of
his back child support payments.
Or gangsters, who might believe
the death of Ryan's stepfather
was not so accidental.
Or Marvin garret, who
didn't want his daughter
anywhere near these boys.
Or maybe the diazes
were lying from the start
and their son was kidnapped
by the people they
were fleeing in Mexico.
Too bad we don't have a
suspect that just went to Mexico.
Oh, wait.
- [ Chuckles ]
But can we put father Jonas
at the museum last Thursday?
Wait. Are you really
pushing this idea
that the priest had an
affair with Lucas's mom?
She's not a single mother.
It's outside his pattern.
Okay, okay. Let's start by
checking Dr. Garza's alibi.
Buzz: The day her
son went missing,
Sara garza texted
her husband at work.
Yes, but do we
know that Dr. Garza
was actually at the office?
If we'd known Mateo was keeping
the unused painkillers
returned by patients,
we would have intervened.
And the moment he
admitted to it, we did.
But you continued working
with Dr. Garza afterward.
He never exhibited any
signs of deterioration.
Look, I admire Dr. Garza,
but I'm not risking
my master's in nursing
so he can pop
pills before surgery.
As I said before,
though he struggled,
Mateo only took
the oxy at night,
never while he was at work.
A doctor who gets high a lot
... isn't that rather dangerous?
He wasn't "high a lot."
Enough to go to rehab.
Mateo suffered from a disease.
And wisely he sought
professional help for it.
And how did Mrs.
Garza spend her time
while her husband
sought professional help?
Sara? She managed the
financial side of the practice.
Why?
Well, dealing with her
family's health issues
must have been
stressful for her.
Did Mrs. Garza ever seek
support outside her family?
Support?
Tao: Or sympathy from someone
who understood what
she was going through.
For example, did she
develop a closer relationship
with one of her son's
teachers at St. Joseph's?
A priest who might have
been interested in consoling her
through difficult times.
I'm not sure... Are
you suggesting...
Sara garza wasn't
having an affair.
While the doctor was away,
Mrs. Garza was either at
work or taking care of her son.
Maybe you don't understand
how labor-intensive
managing Lucas's diabetes was.
Is there anyone who didn't
know about Lucas's health issues?
Andrea, what do you think?
You mean Lucas
garza was kidnapped
specifically to
deprive him of Insulin?
If someone knew he'd
die without his medication...
That would be murder.
If... if we could prove intent.
I'm not sure how these
questions relate to this...
This tragedy.
I mean, you people understand
that that's what this is, right?
This is a tragedy.
All right, we came
in here to help,
but if you're gonna make
it... uh, we're not done yet,
so why don't you hold off on
the self-righteousness a minute?
You may not be done, but
i'm pretty sure that we are.
Are you? Would
you rather talk to us?
Or should we pick up the
phone and call the medical board?
I'm not sure the California
state licensing board
is going to be
okay with the whole
"oh, he only takes
drugs at night" thing.
Look. Suddenly they're all ears.
Why are you being so hostile?
There are two
other boys missing.
This is a tragedy
for their parents, too.
You understand
that, right, doctor,
that this is all a tragedy?
We don't want you to go
while we are still feeling curious.
Curious about...?
What procedure was Dr. Garza
performing last Thursday morning
around 11:00 A.M., when
his son first went missing?
- And who was with him?
- Thursday morning.
Dr. Garza wasn't...
Look, by prior arrangement,
he was going to a meeting
of narcotics anonymous
on Thursday morning.
It's part of his recovery.
We were told Dr. Garza
was in surgery all day.
And that's why his wife
didn't want to disturb him
when their son went missing.
Sara probably didn't
want to discuss...
She probably didn't want to
discuss the addiction issue.
Because it's not relevant.
Dr. Garza walked
back after lunch
into three consecutive
knee surgeries.
Okay, while we're
in the alibi business,
let's get one more.
Wait, wait, Sharon,
wh-where are you going?

Bless me, father,
for I have sinned.
It's been about four weeks
since my last confession,
and in that time,
I've lied several times
to criminal suspects
and suffered doubts about
my relationship with god,
with this church, and with you.
Are your doubts
really spiritual?
Is it god who's let you
down or the justice system?
The justice system
hasn't abandoned
Miguel Diaz and Ryan rojas.
Neither has this church.
We've held three vigils
and two prayer services
and been a sanctuary
for the Diaz family.
And helped put a person of
interest beyond questioning
when he might have told us
what his favorite young
students were up to.
A priest we now hear
has been transferred for...
For sexual improprieties
with adult women.
Please don't
confuse sin and crime.
The church forgives
and offers absolution.
Father Jonas was interested
in providing these boys
with a bedrock of faith
for their troubled lives.
If he cares so much
about the boys,
why wasn't father
Jonas on the field trip?
Because he was conducting
funerals for the poor
at another church...
as he does every Thursday
and Friday morning.
Last week, father Jonas
buried six undocumented people
with no family in L.A.,
spending money he
gets from his relatives
on their coffins and headstones.
Father Jonas conducts
funerals at other churches?

Are you sure tomorrow

Well, I'm sure it
would work without me,
but I'm doing
something outrageous,
and the chief will
want me to explain.
I begin by saying how shocked
and alarmed we are by the LAPD,
as though these families
haven't grieved enough
without the city attempting
to exhume the bodies
of their deceased loved ones.
I'm appalled that, even
in these problematic times,
the authorities would
target undocumented people
who make this city work
and for whom the catholic
church has offered a haven.
What about father Jonas alcaraz?
Have you offered
him a haven, too?
Father Jonas is being persecuted
for his service to Christ.
Oh, boy, here we go.
The self-righteousness
starts all over again.
Your focus on a man of god
instead of the loss suffered
by the Diaz family confuses me.
Alexa? Emilio?
Alexa: Please, please
don't ignore our son.
Our son is still out there.
And Ryan is still

Commander, am I to understand
that you ordered exhumations
in a catholic cemetery?
And we're trying
to dig up bodies
with no discernible
connection to this case?
Buzz, turn that off.
Sharon: Yes and no.
The people on the
headstones aren't linked,
but the funerals were
conducted by father Jonas,
who also supplied the coffins
the day after the
boys went missing.
[ Cellphone ringing ]
The suggestion being
that our missing priest
could have interred
the other boys
with the people he
was already burying.
I see. Well, Miguel and
Ryan have to be somewhere.
Why aren't one of you

The church won't cooperate.

Reporter: Yesterday, three
teenagers went missing
during a catholic
school field trip.
Mason: The boy on the far
right, his name's Lucas garza,
and he's been a type-a
diabetic since he was 7.
Where are the other two boys?
Middle boy, Ryan rojas,
two months ago,
his stepfather died,
putting him and his
mother in financial trouble.
Your husband fell off your
balcony after beating your son.
Miguel Diaz is a dreamer.
He would never bring unwanted
attention on to his family,
who are undocumented.
Buzz: Why don't you want us to
look under the floor of your closet?
It's exactly a million dollars,
and every penny
of it is legally ours.
The diazes were obviously
putting together a ransom.
You've actually made me
suspect Ryan's biological father.
I said you don't
have to do this!
Oh, what the hell?
Oh, I forgot, there's
the Diaz's neighbor
and his daughter, who
has a driver's license.
We found Lucas garza's
body at a catholic church.
You know who hangs
out at catholic churches?
Priests.
Father Jonas tried to stop me
from looking into the
locker of Ryan rojas.
Look, all I'm saying
is father Jonas is
a lot more involved
in that kid's life than
the average teacher.
He's been transferred
to six different dioceses
over the past five years.
That's why I'm thankful we have
someone here who is capable
of dealing with the
priests of St. Joseph's
in an extremely personal way.
Where'd he go?
Father Jonas has
left the country.
This search is unnecessary.
It would have been, had
the church cooperated.
Instead... we cooperated when you
demanded to search a house of god.
Because there was a
dead 15-year-old boy
found in your flower beds.
Father Jonas is gone.
And I have to say, Sharon,
this is not the way I
expected to be treated.
Obstruction of justice
is a very serious charge.
Attempting to break
the sacred bond
between a penitent and a
priest is not merely sacrilegious,
but grounds for excommunication.
No one was asking him to reveal
what he'd heard in confession.
And consider how
excommunicating the investigator
responsible for finding the
boys would sound to the media.
Excuse me, commander.
I'll be right back.
All right, everybody, listen up.
This is what I
need you to find...
Condoms. Needles. Insulin.
We're looking for
anything scandalous
or even somewhat incriminating.
How about dust?
That's all that Jonas
seems to have left behind.
Buzz: And DNA. Maybe
the techs can find something.
I'll take a run at that
laptop in the common area.
See if father Jonas
left us any crumbs.
Well, the bathroom's
scrubbed clean.
Not even a pubic hair.
Tmi. Tmi.
Yes. Thanks for the
finer details, Wes.
Where, oh, where
did our little priest go?
Sharon: He's in Mexico?
Since late this afternoon.
And are you sure he didn't
take the other two boys with him?
That's your theory?
He dumped Lucas
and fled south of the
border with Ryan and Miguel?
Why not take all the boys?
Couldn't fit all three
bodies in the trunk.
That is morbid, Sharon.
Yes, it is. Where in
Mexico is father Jonas?
I can't say.
Who can?
Any further questions
should be directed to me.
No more interviews
with our orders, regulars,
or interns without my consent.
Your primary focus should
be on finding these boys,
not hounding a respected
and much-loved priest.
How much loved?
I won't tolerate remarks
implying misbehavior
on the part of father Jonas.
These boys have most
likely run away from home.
And if you would look for
them more aggressively...
I can assure you,
bishop Calhoun,
the search for Ryan and Miguel is
being conducted on an epic scale.
Which is why it's important
that we interview every suspect.
Suspects, yes. Priests? No.
Well, on the venn diagram,
suspects and priests
sometimes overlap.
Your bias against the church
is leading you in
the wrong direction.
Your excellency,
I'm a lifelong catholic.
I hold no bias
against the church.
And I am in charge
of this investigation.
Then stop these
baseless accusations
and the reckless media
coverage they've created.
If there's no reason to
suspect father Jonas,
why send him away?
Was the trip planned,
or did you find a great airfare
for murder suspects online?
The church was worried
about father Jonas's welfare.
Obviously, for cause.
We can extradite him. Can you?
Did you know father Jonas
holds dual citizenship?
Mexico might not feel obligated
to hand over one of their own,
relations between our two
countries being what they are.
These boys went missing
during a catholic
school-sponsored field trip.
One of them was found
dead on church property.
That's not just a crime.
That's a civil lawsuit.
Every second that
you refuse to cooperate,
the damages in this lawsuit
become more expensive.
The archdiocese of Los Angeles
has paid out over $700
million in abuse scandals.
Closed churches.
Shut down monasteries.
How much more can
you afford to lose?
It's kind of you to care.
Perhaps that's a reaction to
the great favor I'm doing you.
And that would be...?
Removing a line of
inquiry that leads nowhere.
I'm sorry for these
boys, one here illegally,
the other suffering from
a troubled family life.
We will pray for their recovery
and the quick end
to your investigation.

problem priests in Mexico.

be a great opportunity
for our friends at the FBI

Mexico father Jonas is from.

Meanwhile, I have avenues
of my own I need to pursue.

but this is not for
attribution, understood?
If you're not gonna
go on the record,
don't give me the
person-of-interest crap.
It looks like the missing boys
killed their friend and ran off.
If that's not really the answer,
I want some good background
on which I can follow up.
How about a young priest
who had a special
fascination with these boys?
And who was
repeatedly transferred
across the American southwest?
And whom the church sent out
of town yesterday afternoon...
To Mexico?
And the evidence
against this priest is...?

think this is the one.
They can't cross the

And if the "mexi-cants"

evidence to break that.
Unless Kelly is
involved somehow.
It's not always the girlfriend.
But when multiple
boys are in the mix...
I'm trying to keep her
from the wrong ideas
and the wrong kind of people.
Whatever dad says, Miguel
and Ryan are totally chill.
Like me, you know? When
did you all become friends?
Miguel moved in next
door when I was 12.
I met Lucas and
Ryan year before last.
And when did you
and Lucas start dating?
Look. Your father isn't here,
and he'll never
know what we said.
Did you feel like your
relationship with Lucas
wasn't real because your father
didn't want you to... No, no, no,
it was very real, twice as real
as what my mom and dad had.
We would've been together,
uh, six months next week.
And we did go out together.
Twice.
Why didn't your
father like Lucas?
Did he ever threaten him?
No.
He threatened me.
He told me to, like,
stay away from Lucas.
[ Voice breaking ] But I...
I loved him...
We're very sorry
for your loss, Kelly.
Did you know your father
called Lucas' parents once?
Damn right I called them.
I ordered them to keep their
son away from my daughter
or I'd report him to the police.
Oh, well, you totally
should have done that.
See, one of the
LAPD's main missions
is to stop teenagers
from dating each other.
How did you explain your
dislike of Lucas to his father?
I told them we were
different. We weren't catholic.
We weren't brown. We
were born in america.
Lucas garza was born in america.
Where were his parents
born? Or his grandparents?
Where were you born, by the way?
You the token latino?
I heard on the news
the garzas are third-generation
Americans like me
and Daniella rojas's
family is from San Antonio...
Pre-alamo.
Why is the news
even talking about
how long people have been here?
Let's turn off the politics.
Switch back to Kelly
for a moment, buzz.
Man: Is more American
than you'll ever be.
Paige: Did Lucas have
problems with his parents, too?
Not like me.
Well, I mean, Lucas worried
about his father
having to go to rehab.
How did that make Lucas feel?
Lucas didn't understand
why his father chose
drugs over his family.
And I think... [ Sniffles ]
I think Lucas
blamed himself a little.
I wish I could
talk to him again.
[ Sighs ] Just for a minute.
And what about Miguel
and his mom and dad?
Did they have
issues, as well? No.
Well, except being
terrified they'd get deported.
They were all afraid of
that except for his big sister.
Her husband's an American
citizen, so she's safe.
That's why that little bastard
tried to date my daughter...
So he could marry her
someday and get his green card.
But Kelly's too smart for that.
She knows what
Mexicans are like.
And yet she dated a
Mexican American boy.
She dated the American part.
Flynn: What about Ryan
rojas and your daughter?
What was the nature... Ryan
interested in my daughter?
[ Laughs ] That never happened.
Obviously. Why?
Why is that obvious?
That boy whistled
when he walked.
What does that mean?
Ryan had a crush on Miguel.
I mean, he never said it. But...
I could tell.
Was Ryan out to everyone?
Not to his mom. Or
the rest of his family.
But we knew.
And he said he'd talked
about it to father Jonas.
I don't... I don't know how
that worked out for him, but...
Father Jonas. Ah, the
secrets you didn't share.
His relationship with Ryan
seems like a very, very big deal.
And maybe his relationship
with the other boys, too.
You wanna know what I
think happened to those boys?
'Cause I'm pretty sure
I could tell you. Really?
Neighbor boy got jealous of
diabetic boy dating my daughter,
so he and his
compadre killed him.
You know that
Latin temper, right?
They would never get
physical with each other.
Especially not
over me. Miguel...
Miguel would never hurt Lucas.
Now, this is important, Kelly.
And I know it might be a
secret, a really big secret.
But did the boys tell you
why they might be
skipping out on the field trip
or where they might be going?
If there's anything that
you can tell us about
where Ryan, Miguel, and Lucas
went last Thursday morning,
anything at all...
[ Breathes deeply ]
I don't want my father to know.
Tao: We won't tell
him. We promise.
Don't be afraid, Kelly.
You won't be punished.
Okay, uh, look, uh...
I wasn't supposed
to say anything,
but, uh, Lucas told me
that he and Miguel and Ryan
were doing something
every guy in L.A. wanted to do
and that he was gonna
get the best selfies ever.
Selfies? Of what?
Him, Miguel, and Ryan doing
the coolest thing on earth.
And they didn't mention
where they were gonna do it?
No. I wanted to know where.
But Lucas was like, "how
can it be a surprise if I tell you?"
And I asked, "what if
you get caught skipping?"
And he said they'd be back
before the field trip was over
and... and no one would
ever know they'd been gone.
I'll tell you where
I think they are.
I think they're at your cabin.
Cabin? What cabin?
Nolan: Maybe it's a trailer,
near where you shoot off
your mouth and your guns
for an unhyphenated america.
Vega: Listen, my friend.
You're facing time
in a federal prison.
If I were you, I'd
start helping here.
If you were me, you'd
ask for your lawyer,
which is what I'm doing.
[ Rapid gunfire ]
Paige: Any idea where your
father took those videos of himself?
No.
I just thought he was driving
off to visit some girlfriend
he didn't want to tell me about.
Oh, my god.
You know, before my mom died,
he'd never have
done anything like this.
And now he's just...
[ Sighs ] He's so angry.
Angry where, though?
Yeah, where? I spent three hours
trying to match up Marvin's
private shooting range
to a satellite
map... And nothing.
Ain't police work fun?
[ Door opens ] Okay, turn down
those interviews for a second
and listen to this.
Is a person of interest
in the case of the
St. Joseph three.
This priest has been
relocated several times,
most recently when he was
alleged to have had affairs
with several mothers of
students in his last school.
A source inside the LAPD
has confirmed to me...
[ TV turns off ] Chief!
You tipped her off?
You said that this investigation
was not a press opportunity.
I changed my mind.
Oh. So it's okay for you
to decide that, but not me?
Uh-huh. See, I'm the boss.
And sometimes the press
can go where we can't.
This story's going to make
the church very, very angry.
What'll they do? UN-christen us?
I'm not catholic. I am.
Well, the important thing here
is that father Jonas was
doing the moms of his students.
He did seem close to
Ryan's mom and to Ryan.
Maybe he got close to
Ryan to get closer to his mom.
As an observant detective
who looks closely at details,
I noticed that the mothers
of our missing boys were all,
in their own way,
extremely attractive.
I agree.
It would be wrong to rule
out the married mothers.
You know, I may end
up liking you after all,
special agent fey.
All right, three missing
boys, three attractive women,
one handsome priest.
But how does that
all add up to murder?
Buzz: The death reports you
requested came in last night.
One suicide and
lots of accidents.
Rusty: How many clumsy
people did stroh know?
A drowning. An electrocution.
A single car accident.
A fall off a hillside.
There doesn't
seem to be a pattern.
Stroh is the pattern.
Buzz, he links all of
these people together.
But why would he come back
after getting completely away?
This just... It doesn't
make no sense.
Stroh's psychotic.
Maybe looking for
sense is a waste of time.
Maybe I need to find out
more about all these people.
Where are we on father
Jonas? Have you found him yet?
Well, the FBI is
running point on Jonas
with the Mexican authorities.
Sharon: In the meantime,
we're confirming
the alibis of all our parents.
Especially the women,
since one of them
might have been
straying from her marriage.
But I doubt father Jonas was
sneaking them into the rectory.
I think double-checking
Dr. Garza's alibi
is a very good idea.
Dr. Dad killed his only son?
- He was taking a lot of drugs.
- With the addict,
it's the disease
calling the shots,
not the person.
Or in light of what we know
about our missing priest,
maybe Dr. Garza found out
his wife was having an affair
with father Casanova
and blamed his son.
Father Jonas is a
known mother-lover.
And Ms. Garza is a lot
younger than her husband
and, well, more than
just a little attractive.
Excuse me. Are...
are you rating her?
Sanchez: Ma'am? No.
Yes, Julio? I'm just saying...
If the dad did it, why
take the other boys,
unless it was to make it
look like a plot by the church?
None of these questions matter
while Miguel and
Ryan are still missing.
If they're dead, and we
don't find their bodies,
the defense will use them
as a credible alternative
to whomever we arrest.
And if they're alive... guys,
if Miguel and Ryan are alive,
they're my number-one suspects.
These boys didn't
just vanish, okay?
They didn't have the resources.
And they weren't
planning to disappear.
They were coming back
before the field trip was over.
Uh, these kids are either dead
or they're being
held against their will.
But if you trust the wires
we're running, not for a ransom.
Hmm. Well, too bad
we don't have a suspect
who's taken a vow of poverty.
Oh, wait.
But there's also
Ryan's biological father,
who might only want out of
his back child support payments.
Or gangsters, who might believe
the death of Ryan's stepfather
was not so accidental.
Or Marvin garret, who
didn't want his daughter
anywhere near these boys.
Or maybe the diazes
were lying from the start
and their son was kidnapped
by the people they
were fleeing in Mexico.
Too bad we don't have a
suspect that just went to Mexico.
Oh, wait.
- [ Chuckles ]
But can we put father Jonas
at the museum last Thursday?
Wait. Are you really
pushing this idea
that the priest had an
affair with Lucas's mom?
She's not a single mother.
It's outside his pattern.
Okay, okay. Let's start by
checking Dr. Garza's alibi.
Buzz: The day her
son went missing,
Sara garza texted
her husband at work.
Yes, but do we
know that Dr. Garza
was actually at the office?
If we'd known Mateo was keeping
the unused painkillers
returned by patients,
we would have intervened.
And the moment he
admitted to it, we did.
But you continued working
with Dr. Garza afterward.
He never exhibited any
signs of deterioration.
Look, I admire Dr. Garza,
but I'm not risking
my master's in nursing
so he can pop
pills before surgery.
As I said before,
though he struggled,
Mateo only took
the oxy at night,
never while he was at work.
A doctor who gets high a lot
... isn't that rather dangerous?
He wasn't "high a lot."
Enough to go to rehab.
Mateo suffered from a disease.
And wisely he sought
professional help for it.
And how did Mrs.
Garza spend her time
while her husband
sought professional help?
Sara? She managed the
financial side of the practice.
Why?
Well, dealing with her
family's health issues
must have been
stressful for her.
Did Mrs. Garza ever seek
support outside her family?
Support?
Tao: Or sympathy from someone
who understood what
she was going through.
For example, did she
develop a closer relationship
with one of her son's
teachers at St. Joseph's?
A priest who might have
been interested in consoling her
through difficult times.
I'm not sure... Are
you suggesting...
Sara garza wasn't
having an affair.
While the doctor was away,
Mrs. Garza was either at
work or taking care of her son.
Maybe you don't understand
how labor-intensive
managing Lucas's diabetes was.
Is there anyone who didn't
know about Lucas's health issues?
Andrea, what do you think?
You mean Lucas
garza was kidnapped
specifically to
deprive him of Insulin?
If someone knew he'd
die without his medication...
That would be murder.
If... if we could prove intent.
I'm not sure how these
questions relate to this...
This tragedy.
I mean, you people understand
that that's what this is, right?
This is a tragedy.
All right, we came
in here to help,
but if you're gonna make
it... uh, we're not done yet,
so why don't you hold off on
the self-righteousness a minute?
You may not be done, but
i'm pretty sure that we are.
Are you? Would
you rather talk to us?
Or should we pick up the
phone and call the medical board?
I'm not sure the California
state licensing board
is going to be
okay with the whole
"oh, he only takes
drugs at night" thing.
Look. Suddenly they're all ears.
Why are you being so hostile?
There are two
other boys missing.
This is a tragedy
for their parents, too.
You understand
that, right, doctor,
that this is all a tragedy?
We don't want you to go
while we are still feeling curious.
Curious about...?
What procedure was Dr. Garza
performing last Thursday morning
around 11:00 A.M., when
his son first went missing?
- And who was with him?
- Thursday morning.
Dr. Garza wasn't...
Look, by prior arrangement,
he was going to a meeting
of narcotics anonymous
on Thursday morning.
It's part of his recovery.
We were told Dr. Garza
was in surgery all day.
And that's why his wife
didn't want to disturb him
when their son went missing.
Sara probably didn't
want to discuss...
She probably didn't want to
discuss the addiction issue.
Because it's not relevant.
Dr. Garza walked
back after lunch
into three consecutive
knee surgeries.
Okay, while we're
in the alibi business,
let's get one more.
Wait, wait, Sharon,
wh-where are you going?
To get some spiritual advice.

Bless me, father,
for I have sinned.
It's been about four weeks
since my last confession,
and in that time,
I've lied several times
to criminal suspects
and suffered doubts about
my relationship with god,
with this church, and with you.
Are your doubts
really spiritual?
Is it god who's let you
down or the justice system?
The justice system
hasn't abandoned
Miguel Diaz and Ryan rojas.
Neither has this church.
We've held three vigils
and two prayer services
and been a sanctuary
for the Diaz family.
And helped put a person of
interest beyond questioning
when he might have told us
what his favorite young
students were up to.
A priest we now hear
has been transferred for...
For sexual improprieties
with adult women.
Please don't
confuse sin and crime.
The church forgives
and offers absolution.
Father Jonas was interested
in providing these boys
with a bedrock of faith
for their troubled lives.
If he cares so much
about the boys,
why wasn't father
Jonas on the field trip?
Because he was conducting
funerals for the poor
at another church...
as he does every Thursday
and Friday morning.
Last week, father Jonas
buried six undocumented people
with no family in L.A.,
spending money he
gets from his relatives
on their coffins and headstones.
Father Jonas conducts
funerals at other churches?
We need priests
all over this diocese.
We are low on
personnel these days.

Mnh.
Are you sure tomorrow
wouldn't work without you?
Well, I'm sure it
would work without me,
but I'm doing
something outrageous,
and the chief will
want me to explain.
I begin by saying how shocked
and alarmed we are by the LAPD,
as though these families
haven't grieved enough
without the city attempting
to exhume the bodies
of their deceased loved ones.
I'm appalled that, even
in these problematic times,
the authorities would
target undocumented people
who make this city work
and for whom the catholic
church has offered a haven.
What about father Jonas alcaraz?
Have you offered
him a haven, too?
Father Jonas is being persecuted
for his service to Christ.
Oh, boy, here we go.
The self-righteousness
starts all over again.
Your focus on a man of god
instead of the loss suffered
by the Diaz family confuses me.
Alexa? Emilio?
Alexa: Please, please
don't ignore our son.
Our son is still out there.
And Ryan is still
out there, too.
Commander, am I to understand
that you ordered exhumations
in a catholic cemetery?
And we're trying
to dig up bodies
with no discernible
connection to this case?
Buzz, turn that off.
Sharon: Yes and no.
The people on the
headstones aren't linked,
but the funerals were
conducted by father Jonas,
who also supplied the coffins
the day after the
boys went missing.
[ Cellphone ringing ]
The suggestion being
that our missing priest
could have interred
the other boys
with the people he
was already burying.
I see. Well, Miguel and
Ryan have to be somewhere.
Why aren't one of you
at the cemetery then?
The church won't cooperate.
Filed an injunction against
us to prevent the exhumation.
Uh, we just got
a tip from Mexico.
- About Jonas?
- Don't get your hopes up.
Let us work it, and if it pans
out, we'll get back to you.
