[TURNS OFF ENGINE]

[ENGINE KNOCKS]

WHERE THE HELL HAVE YOU BEEN?

THE GAME STARTS IN 10 MINUTES.

IT TOOK ME A HALF AN HOUR TO
GET THIS PIECE OF CRAP STARTED.

I THINK WE SHOULD TAKE YOUR CAR.

I'M JUST SAYIN'.

DODGERS, GIANTS,



PEREZ VERSUS SCHMIDT,

SKYBOX TICKETS,

AND WE'RE LATE BECAUSE
YOU DRIVE THE ONLY CAR

THEY EVER STOLE IN MEXICO

AND BROUGHT HERE TO SELL.

CAPTIONING MADE
POSSIBLE BY WARNER BROS.

THERE ANYTHING
YOU WANNA TELL ME?

WHAT DO YOU... YOU THINK I
KNOW SOMETHING ABOUT THIS?

I HAVE NEVER, EVER SEEN THAT
WOMAN BEFORE, ALIVE OR DEAD.

WAIT A MINUTE. WAIT A MINUTE.
WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU DOING?

I'M CALLING IT IN. WHAT
DO YOU THINK I'M DOING?

DO THAT, AND 5 MINUTES FROM NOW,
THIS PLACE'LL BE CRAWLING WITH COPS.

MAN, MAN, COME ON. THINK.

WOULD YOU RATHER
SPEND THE NEXT 2 HOURS



STANDING IN MY DRIVEWAY,
FILLING OUT PAPERWORK

OR SITTING IN A SKYBOX
AT DODGER STADIUM?

I PROMISE YOU, WHEN WE
GET BACK FROM THE GAME,

BLONDIE HERE WILL STILL BE DEAD.

[CAMERA WHIRS]

WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU DOING NOW?

I'M TAKING SOME
PICTURES. DO YOU MIND?

GAME STARTS IN 5 MINUTES.

HEY, RELAX. HOW ABOUT IF WE
PRETEND LIKE WE'RE POLICE OFFICERS?

ALL RIGHT, ALL RIGHT, LOOK,

IF MY CAR STARTS,
WE GO TO THE GAME.

IF IT DOESN'T, WE STAY,
AND WE DEAL WITH THIS.

[ELECTRIC CRACKLES]

[RADIO TURNS OFF]

[BRIEF CHEERING]

[ELECTRIC CRACKLE]

[RADIO OFF]

[TIRES SQUEALING]

SHE COULDN'T HAVE GONE FAR.

YOU LOOK LEFT. I'LL LOOK RIGHT.

IF I WAS A DEAD BODY,
WHERE WOULD I GO?

[TELEPHONE RINGS]

TAO.

MIKE, ANDY FLYNN.

YEAH, CAN YOU DO ME A FAVOR?

CAN YOU CHECK AND
SEE IF THERE'S BEEN

ANY ROLLOUT IN THE PAST HOUR?

[DISPATCH CHATTER]

[HELICOPTER]

CAN I HELP YOU TWO?

THANKS, COMMANDER, BUT IT'S
MORE A QUESTION OF US HELPING YOU.

COMMANDER TAYLOR? YES?

CAN YOU LOOK AT THIS, PLEASE?

[DISPATCH CHATTER]

IT'S HER, RIGHT?

YEAH, BUT IN YOUR GARAGE,

SHE DEFINITELY WAS
DRESSED AND NOT CUT OPEN.

ALL RIGHT, MOVE... MOVE
AWAY FROM THE BODY.

BOTH OF YOU, MOVE...
MOVE BACK. BACK.

WHY?

COMMANDER, PRIORITY HOMICIDE

IS TAKING OVER THIS CRIME SCENE.

THE HELL YOU ARE.

YOU DON'T HAVE THE AUTHORITY
TO TAKE OVER THIS INVESTIGATION.

CHIEF JOHNSON SENT US.

[ELEVATOR DINGS]

WITH ME, WITH ME, WITH ME.

[DISPATCH CHATTER]

WHAT THE HELL IS
GOING ON AROUND HERE?

I JUST GOT OFF THE
PHONE WITH TAYLOR,

WHO WAS ANGRIER
THAN I'VE EVER HEARD HIM,

AND YOU KNOW WHAT THAT'S SAYING.

WILL, I HAVE NO IDEA

WHAT YOU'RE TALKING ABOUT.

SINCE WHEN DO YOU ALLOW FLYNN
AND PROVENZA TO WALK OFF THE STREETS

AND TRY TO TAKE
OVER CRIME SCENES?

[TELEPHONE RINGS]

[LIFTS RECEIVER AND HANGS UP]

FIRST OFF, WILL, YOU YELL AT ME
WHEN I DON'T DELEGATE AUTHORITY,

AND THEN YOU YELL
AT ME WHEN I DO.

OH, COME ON. DON'T GIVE ME THAT.

GIVE YOU WHAT? I'M...

I'M TRYIN' TO FIGURE OUT HOW TO
RUN MY SQUAD TO KEEP YOU HAPPY.

WELL, YOU CAN START

BY TELLING ME WHAT
IS SO IMPORTANT

ABOUT THIS DEAD GIRL
THAT FLYNN AND PROVENZA

WOULD DISRESPECT
TAYLOR LIKE THAT

IN FRONT OF A DOZEN OFFICERS.

WELL, THIS DEAD GIRL...

WOMAN. WHATEVER. SORRY.

IT'S NOT EVERY DAY
A BODY TURNS UP...

IN THAT CONDITION.

MUTILATED CORPSES ARE A
DIME A DOZEN AROUND HERE.

YES, BUT THE WAY
SHE WAS MUTILATED.

CUT OPEN, PROBABLY FOR DRUGS.

THAT MAKES HER WHAT,
THE THIRD THIS YEAR?

YES, BUT HOW MANY
MUTILATED CORPSES TURNED UP...

WHERE SHE TURNED UP?

IN A SECLUDED STRIP
OF LAND OFF SEPULVEDA?

DO YOU HAVE ANY IDEA
WHO OWNS THAT LAND?

NO, I DON'T, BUT SINCE
YOU HAVE ALL THE ANSWERS,

WHY DON'T YOU TELL ME?

YOU KNOW WHAT, WILL?

I DON'T APPRECIATE YOUR
CONDESCENDING TONE,

AND I DON'T ENJOY BEING GRILLED

LIKE I'M SOME SUSPECT
OFF THE STREET.

NOW, I'LL EXPLAIN EVERYTHING
WHEN I HAVE ALL THE INFORMATION,

WHICH IS COMING IN
DOWNSTAIRS, WHERE I'M NOT,

SO IF YOU'LL EXCUSE ME.

YEAH, I'LL EXCUSE YOU FOR NOW,

BUT I CAN'T SPEAK FOR THE
REST OF PARKER CENTER,

AND EVENTUALLY THIS
WILL HAVE TO BE EXPLAINED.

[SIGHS]

[DISPATCH CHATTER]

EVERYTHING ALL RIGHT, CHIEF?

WHAT DO YOU THINK, SERGEANT?!

WHERE ARE PROVENZA AND FLYNN?!

THAT WAS NOT A
RHETORICAL QUESTION.

WHERE ARE FLYNN AND PROVENZA?!

[SLAM]

OFF DUTY.

CLEARLY THEY ARE NOT OFF DUTY,

BECAUSE THEY'RE TAKING
OVER CRIME SCENES.

DETECTIVE DANIELS, GET
ON THE PHONE AND FIND THEM.

NOW. NOW!

DID I EVER ONCE IMPLY
THAT I WOULD ALLOW Y'ALL

TO MAKE UP THE RULES
AS YOU WENT ALONG?

NO. DEFINITELY NOT.

NOT A CHANCE, CHIEF.

ARE YOU AWARE

THAT THIS IS EXACTLY
THE TYPE OF CONDUCT

I WAS BROUGHT TO THIS
DEPARTMENT TO END?

UH-HUH. YES, CHIEF. DEFINITELY

HAVE YOU PEOPLE HEARD
OF THE WORD "PROTOCOL"?

I WILL NOT BE BLINDSIDED
IN POPE'S OFFICE

TRYING TO FIGURE WHAT THE...

HECK YOU PEOPLE ARE UP TO! YES?

WHAT IS IT, DETECTIVE SANCHEZ?

GENTLEMEN, I WANT
AN EXPLANATION.

WELL, YOU KNOW I'VE BEEN HAVING A
LOT OF TROUBLE WITH MY CAR LATELY.

CRIME SCENE, LIEUTENANT FLYNN.

GET ME TO THE CRIME SCENE.

WELL, WE DECIDED TO
TAKE MY CAR TO THE GAME.

ONLY, WHEN WE OPENED
MY GARAGE DOOR,

THERE WAS A BODY ON THE FLOOR.

A BODY?

UM, DEAD FEMALE,
CAUCASIAN, MID-30s.

WHEN WAS THIS?

ABOUT 2 HOURS AGO.

ONLY, WE DECIDED NOT TO CALL
IT IN RIGHT AT THAT VERY MOMENT.

BECAUSE...

SKYBOX TICKETS?!

WHEN WE, UH... WHEN WE
GOT BACK TO MY GARAGE,

THE BODY WAS GONE.

AHEM. FORTUNATELY, IT TURNED UP.

UH, BUT BY THEN, THE VICTIM, UH,
HAD BEEN STRIPPED AND CUT OPEN.

ROBBERY/HOMICIDE WAS PROCESSING

WHAT THEY THOUGHT
WAS THE MURDER SCENE,

WHICH WE KNEW IT WASN'T,

SO I TOLD COMMANDER
TAYLOR THAT...

PRIORITY HOMICIDE WAS
TAKING OVER THE CASE.

WHY WOULD YOU DO THAT?

'CAUSE I FELT, UH,

WE NEEDED TO TAKE
CONTROL OF THE SITUATION.

AND HOW DOES THAT
SEEM TO BE WORKIN' OUT?

LOOK, I'M NOT SAYING THAT
MISTAKES WEREN'T MADE.

DO YOU THINK SO,
LIEUTENANT FLYNN?

AND TAKE OFF THOSE
IDIOTIC BASEBALL CAPS.

LIEUTENANT PROVENZA,

TELL ME ABOUT THE
DEATH OF THIS WOMAN.

THE VICTIM LOOKED LIKE SHE'D BEEN
DEAD 3, 4 HOURS WHEN WE FOUND HER.

WELL, THAT'S TRUE, CHIEF.
RIGOR MORTIS HAD SET IN,

BUT THERE WAS
VERY LITTLE LIVIDITY.

IN FACT, IF YOU TAKE A
LOOK AT THESE PICTURES...

YOU DIDN'T HAVE
TIME TO CALL IT IN,

BUT YOU HAD TIME
TO TAKE PICTURES?

I WANTED TO CALL IT IN.

OH, YEAH. YEAH, SURE.
YEAH, BLAME IT ALL ON ME.

WELL, IT'S YOUR DAMN GARAGE.
LOOK, I'M NOT GOIN' DOWN FOR THIS.

YOU RAT FINK. ENOUGH!

BOTH OF YOU!

SITTIN' ON THIS
INFORMATION MAKES ME

AN ACCOMPLICE AFTER THE FACT
AND TWICE AS NEGLIGENT AS Y'ALL.

WHAT I REALLY SHOULD DO

IS CALL A MEETING RIGHT NOW
BETWEEN TAYLOR AND POPE.

JUST... GO HOME.

IS THAT HOW THEY SAY,
"YOU'RE FIRED," IN THE SOUTH?

YOUR GARAGE IS A CRIME SCENE.

LIEUTENANT PROVENZA, GO
HOME AND WAIT FOR ME THERE.

LIEUTENANT FLYNN, WITH
ME, WITH ME, WITH ME.

YOU'RE ASKING US TO PARTICIPATE

IN AN UNAUTHORIZED
INVESTIGATION?

IT'S WORSE THAN THAT.

I'M ASKING YOU TO BE A PARTY
TO AN ACT OF NEGLIGENCE

THAT COULD COMPROMISE
YOUR CAREERS.

HOWEVER, I BELIEVE THAT
WE CAN RESOLVE THIS DILEMMA

IF WE ALL WORK TOGETHER.

I'LL NEED SOMEONE TO
ANALYZE THE PHOTOS

THAT LIEUTENANT FLYNN
TOOK FROM HIS CELL PHONE,

SOMEONE TO STAY IN TOUCH
WITH ROBBERY/HOMICIDE

AND REPORT BACK TO
ME ON THEIR PROGRESS,

AND SOMEONE, PREFERABLY
A FORMER S.I.D. OFFICER,

TO HELP PROCESS THE GARAGE.

AND WHAT ABOUT SERGEANT GABRIEL?

I THINK HE SHOULD
REMAIN IN THE DARK.

EVENTUALLY WE MIGHT
NEED HELP FROM SOMEONE

WHO HASN'T BEEN TAINTED
BY ILL-GOTTEN INFORMATION.

AND WE HAVE TO
WRAP UP THE MURDER

WITHOUT LETTING ANYONE KNOW
WHERE THE BODY WAS FOUND?

THAT IS A NECESSITY.

LIEUTENANT TAO,

DETECTIVE SANCHEZ AND DANIELS,

THE CHOICE TO ASSIST
IS ENTIRELY YOURS.

IF YOU'D PREFER TO
REMAIN ON THE OUTSIDE,

YOU'LL HAVE PLAUSIBLE
DENIABILITY, AND...

I WON'T THINK ANY LESS OF YOU.

Lt. Flynn: YOU CAN SEE BY THE PHOTO
THAT THE BACK DOOR WAS CLOSED,

BUT LATER IT WAS OPEN,
AND THE LOCK WAS BROKEN,

SUGGESTING THAT THE VICTIM OR WHOEVER
BROUGHT HER IN HERE ORIGINALLY HAD A KEY.

AND WHOEVER DRAGGED
HER OUT DID NOT.

THAT ALSO SUGGESTS THE
LANDLORD DIDN'T CHANGE THE LOCK

BEFORE I MOVED IN LIKE I ASKED,

WHICH SUGGESTS THAT
I SHOULD SUE HIS ASS.

DO YOU HAVE ANYTHING USEFUL
TO ADD, LIEUTENANT PROVENZA?

UH, YEAH.

YEAH. THE, UH...

THE VICTIM WAS WEARING HEELS,
BUT THERE WEREN'T ANY IMPRINTS,

SO THAT MEANS, UH,
SHE DIDN'T WALK IN.

SHE WAS CARRIED IN
AND LAID TO HER REST.

WHOEVER BROKE IN WAS EITHER IN A
BIG HURRY OR INCREDIBLY CARELESS,

'CAUSE I JUST PULLED 3 FRESH
PRINTS OFF THE DOOR HANDLE.

[CELL PHONE RINGS]

[RING]

CHIEF JOHNSON.

YEAH, UH, ROBBERY/HOMICIDE JUST
GOT A POSITIVE I.D. ON THE VICTIM, CHIEF.

HER NAME IS KATHERINE LANDIS.

KATHERINE LANDIS.

GOOD. I WANT FINANCIALS,
PRIORS, PARKING TICKETS,

PHONE RECORDS, ANYTHING
YOU CAN FIND ON HER.

RIGHT AWAY, CHIEF.

DETECTIVE SANCHEZ
HAS SOME INFO FOR YOU.

CHIEF, WHEN I ENLARGED
FLYNN'S PHOTOS,

I NOTICED WHAT LOOKED LIKE THE
EDGE OF AN AIRLINE TICKET ENVELOPE

STICKING OUT OF
THE VICTIM'S POCKET.

I MATCHED THE INSIGNIA
TO AERO ESCONDIDO,

A TINY AIRLINE CONNECTING
OAXACA AND LOS ANGELES.

GOOD. FIND OUT IF AERO ESCONDIDO

HAD ANY FLIGHTS ARRIVING
IN LAX IN THE LAST 12 HOURS,

AND IF THEY DID, PLEASE LOCATE

THE SECURITY TAPES IN THE
2 HOURS FOLLOWING ARRIVAL.

THANK YOU, DETECTIVE
SANCHEZ. THANK YOU.

CHIEF. YES.

AHEM. YOU KNOW HOW I SAID
I... I DIDN'T KNOW THE VICTIM?

WELL, I DIDN'T,

BUT I-IT TURNS
OUT I HAVE BEEN...

I HAVE BEEN READING HER MAIL.

WHAT?!

LOOK, THIS LANDIS WOMAN WAS
THE TENANT HERE BEFORE ME,

AND SHE DIDN'T LEAVE A
FORWARDING ADDRESS.

SO WE KEEP GETTING INFORMATION
WE CAN'T USE IN A CASE WE DON'T HAVE.

LIEUTENANT, I WANT A COPY
OF THE CORONER'S REPORT

AS SOON AS IT'S DICTATED,

AND DON'T SHOW IT TO ANYONE
ELSE BEFORE YOU SHOW IT TO ME.

THANK YOU.

WE ARE CALLING EVERYONE
WHO HAD KEYS TO THIS GARAGE,

STARTING WITH YOUR LANDLORD.

AW, JEEZ. DO WE HAVE TO DO THAT?

I MEAN, MY LEASE IS UP. IF WE HARASS
THIS GUY, I KNOW HE'S GONNA RAISE MY RENT.

QUICKLY, QUICKLY, QUICKLY.

WOULD YOU LOOK AT THIS?

NOW I HAVE TO REPLACE THE
LOCK AND RESET THE DAMN DOOR.

THERE'S NO RUSH. WHENEVER YOU
GET AROUND TO IT'S FINE WITH ME.

MR. SARKESIAN,
WHAT CAN YOU TELL US

ABOUT THE PREVIOUS TENANT?

I BELIEVE HER NAME
WAS KATHY LANDIS.

ASK THE NEIGHBORS.

EXCUSE ME, MR. SARKESIAN.

I DON'T THINK I'VE MADE
CLEAR EXACTLY WHO I AM.

I'M DEPUTY CHIEF BRENDA
LEIGH JOHNSON OF THE L.A.P.D.,

AND I DON'T GIVE TICKETS.

I ARREST PEOPLE.

SO UNLESS YOU'RE CERTAIN

THAT EVERY PROPERTY YOU OWN

IS IN COMPLETE COMPLIANCE
WITH ALL MUNICIPAL HOUSING CODES,

I'D ANSWER MY QUESTIONS
WITHOUT HESITATION.

DO WE UNDERSTAND
EACH OTHER, SIR?

KATHY LANDIS LIVED
HERE 4, 5 YEARS AGO

WHILE SHE WAS PREGNANT.

GIVE ME A SCREWDRIVER!

AND THE FATHER OF HER
CHILD, DID HE LIVE HERE AS WELL?

NO, NO. MR. SPENGLER, HE
AND HIS WIFE LIVED IN LOS FELIZ.

THEY WERE PAYING
HER TO HAVE THEIR BABY.

I'M SURPRISED YOU REMEMBER
THEIR NAME, MR. SARKESIAN.

I REMEMBER THE PEOPLE
WHO WRITE THE CHECKS.

AFTER THE BABY WAS
BORN, THEY STOPPED PAYING.

I NEVER GOT ANOTHER DIME
FROM THAT WORTHLESS BITCH.

[CELL PHONE RINGS]

HOLD THAT THOUGHT, WOULD YOU?

[RING]

CHIEF JOHNSON.

Det. Daniels: THEY PICKED UP THE
VICTIM'S BOYFRIEND, SCOTT CAMPBELL.

OH, THANK YOU,
DETECTIVE DANIELS.

JUST TRY AND STALL THAT
INTERVIEW AS LONG AS POSSIBLE.

WE'RE HEADING BACK NOW.

THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR
YOUR HELP, MR. SARKESIAN.

OH, AND, UM, SINCE
PRIOR TO MOVING IN,

LIEUTENANT PROVENZA
HAD ASKED FOR THE LOCKS

TO BE CHANGED AND THEY WEREN'T,

I'M OBLIGED TO
REPORT THAT VIOLATION.

UNLESS OF COURSE
YOU MIGHT BE ABLE

TO RENEW HIS LEASE
AT THE CURRENT RATE.

YEAH. THANK YOU.

THANK YOU SO MUCH.

[INDISTINCT]

WHEN THEY PICKED UP LANDIS'
BOYFRIEND, SCOTT CAMPBELL,

THERE WAS A KNIFE AND 20 CONDOMS
FILLED WITH BLACK-TAR HEROIN IN HIS CAR.

YOU THINK SCOTT CAMPBELL
KILLED HER FOR THE DOPE?

NO. SHE WAS DEAD WHEN
CAMPBELL CUT HER OPEN.

WE KNOW THAT,
BECAUSE IT WAS AFTER

SHE WAS REMOVED FROM
LIEUTENANT PROVENZA'S GARAGE,

AND WHOEVER REMOVED THE BODY'S

NOT THE SAME PERSON
WHO PUT IT THERE.

BUT WHAT IF SHE WASN'T MURDERED,

IF ONE OF THE CONDOMS
BROKE AND SHE OVERDOSED?

NO. THE VICTIM WOULD HAVE
SUFFERED SEIZURES, THROWN UP,

PROBABLY BITTEN
HER LIPS AND TONGUE.

[DING] FROM THE
ANGLE OF HER HEAD,

I'D SAY HER NECK WAS BROKEN.

AERO ESCONDIDO HAD ONE
FLIGHT ARRIVE THIS MORNING,

AND LANDIS WAS ON IT.
SECURITY TAPE'S ON THE WAY.

GOOD. ALSO LANDIS
WORKED AS A SURROGATE,

SO MAKE SURE THAT TAO

HAS THE CORONER DO
A PREGNANCY CHECK.

CHIEF, IF YOU WANT TO STOP CAMPBELL
FROM SAYING WHERE HE FOUND THE BODY,

YOU BETTER HURRY.

[NO AUDIO]

WHY AREN'T THEY USING
ROBBERY/HOMICIDE'S INTERVIEW ROOM?

TECHNICAL PROBLEMS
WITH THEIR MONITORS.

BLESS ME, REVEREND MOTHER,

FOR I HAVE SINNED.

WE ARE ALL GOIN' TO HELL.

DON'T GIVE ME THAT BULLSHIT.

3 HOURS AGO, I WAS AS CLOSE
TO HER AS I AM TO YOU RIGHT NOW.

YOU THINK I WANTED TO
DEFILE HER THAT WAY?

I... I LOVED KATHY. WE WERE... WE
WERE GETTING READY TO HAVE A KID.

WE WERE GONNA BE A FAMILY.

IF YOU LOVED HER, THEN
WHY DID YOU KILL HER

AND LEAVE HER WITH
HER INTESTINES...

SHE WAS DEAD WHEN I FOUND HER!

GOODNESS, WHAT
HAVE I WALKED IN ON?

YOU'RE NOT TELLING ME ANYTHING!

WELL, THANKS TO YOUR
ALLOWING ROBBERY/HOMICIDE

TO KEEP THIS INVESTIGATION,

THE VICTIM'S BOYFRIEND
IS ABOUT TO CONFESS.

OH, WELL, THAT'S GREAT.

DO YOU MIND IF I OBSERVE?

OH, BE MY GUEST.

THANK YOU.

THANK YOU SO MUCH.

I HAD TO GET THE DRUGS,
BECAUSE IF I DIDN'T,

I WAS DEAD. DO YOU UNDERSTAND?

ACTUALLY, NO, I DON'T.

THIS ONE LOOKS AS
GUILTY AS SIN, DOESN'T HE?

START FROM THE BEGINNING.

KATHY CALLED ME
FROM THE AIRPORT.

WHEN... WHEN SHE HADN'T
SHOWN UP 2 HOURS LATER,

I PINGED HER G.P.S. PHONE.

YOU PINGED IT?

I-IT GAVE ME HER LOCATION.

BUZZ, IT IS JUST AMAZING TO ME

WHAT A SUSPECT WILL SAY
WITHOUT THEIR LAWYER PRESENT.

[AUDIBLE] WHY, THIS GRILLING
WOULD GRIND TO A HALT

IF A SUSPECT ASKED FOR A
LAWYER HE'S ENTITLED TO.

OH, NO.

OH, NO.

NO. DID Y'ALL HEAR
THAT IN THERE?

WHAT JUST HAPPENED?

I-I'M NOT SAYIN' ANYTHING
ELSE TILL I GET A LAWYER.

I WANT MY LAWYER.

OK, BEFORE I WAS ANGRY.

NOW I'M WORRIED, AND...
AND FRANKLY I'M BAFFLED.

WILL, THIS WAS A
COMPLETE ACCIDENT.

AND I SUPPOSE PROVENZA AND FLYNN

TRYING TO TAKE OVER THE
MURDER SCENE THIS AFTERNOON,

THAT WAS A COMPLETE
ACCIDENT, TOO, HUH?

DEPUTY CHIEF JOHNSON, WAS
WHAT JUST HAPPENED DOWN THERE

REALLY AN IDIOTIC MISTAKE,

OR IS THERE SOMETHING
YOU'RE NOT TELLING ME?

YOU HAVE INFORMATION
FROM THE F.B.I., DON'T YOU?

YES.

YES, I... I DO, WILL.

I... I WILL DENY SAYING IT,

BUT THIS CASE ISN'T
ABOUT ONE WOMAN

CUT OPEN FOR DRUGS AND
DUMPED ON SEP-UL-VEDDA AVENUE.

SEPULVEDA BOULEVARD.

SHE DOESN'T EVEN KNOW
THE NAME OF THE STREET.

THERE MAY BE EVIDENCE

THAT CAMPBELL CUT
OPEN AND DISPOSED OF 4, 5,

WHO KNOWS HOW MANY WOMEN
THE SAME WAY IN NEVADA, ARIZONA.

SO WE'RE TALKING ABOUT
A MULTISTATE SCENARIO.

EXACTLY. EXACTLY. A
MULTISTATE SCENARIO.

THAT IS IT.

AND THE F.B.I. IS WITHIN
ONE DAY AT THE MOST

OF TAKING OVER THIS CASE.

AND WH-WHAT ABOUT THE D.E.A.?

AND THEY INVOLVED, TOO?

CHIEF POPE, I HAVE
ALREADY SAID TOO MUCH.

AND I REALLY MEAN THAT.

FRITZ. UHH. I MAY HAVE
MADE A TERRIBLE MISTAKE.

Sgt. Gabriel: NO ONE'S
TELLING ME ANYTHING.

CAN'T YOU JUST LEVEL WITH ME?

IS THERE SOMEONE
OUTSIDE, DETECTIVE?

Det. Daniels: UH, YEAH.
IT'S SERGEANT GABRIEL.

OH. TELL HIM ABOUT THE
SPECIAL JOB WE HAVE FOR HIM.

THE SPECIAL JOB. RIGHT. UH...

LOOK, DAVID, THE CHIEF
WANTS YOU TO PULL AND COPY

THE BAYLIS MURDER BOOK AND
BATES-STAMP ALL THE COPIES.

THAT'S LIKE 2,000 PAGES.

I MEAN, ARE YOU KIDDING ME?

SO WHEN... WHEN
YOU SAY, "SPECIAL JOB,"

YOU MEAN "SPECIAL" LIKE AS IN
SPECIAL OLYMPICS OR SPECIAL BUS?

I MEAN, WHAT IS
REALLY GOIN' ON HERE?

CHIEF. OH.

I FOUND THE ADOPTIVE
PARENTS, THE SPENGLERS,

WHO USED KATHY
LANDIS AS A SURROGATE.

WHAT ADOPTIVE PARENTS?

Det. Daniels: I CAN'T TELL YOU.

ARE YOU IN THE LADIES'
ROOM, LIEUTENANT PROVENZA?

YEAH. I FOUND THE
ADOPTIVE PARENTS.

WAIT FOR ME...
[SLAMS SHOE] OUTSIDE.

[GASPS]

Dep. Chief Johnson:
GOODNESS. WHY, JEEZ.

[SIGHS] SORRY.

FRITZ, IT'S MY INVESTIGATION.

I NEVER THOUGHT I'D SAY THIS,

BUT I NEED YOU TO MAKE
A FEDERAL CASE OUT OF IT.

WE WOULD NEVER HAVE CHOSEN

ANYONE AS UNSTABLE
AS KATHY LANDIS,

BUT WE TRIED FOR
YEARS TO HAVE A BABY.

BUT AFTER THE
SIXTH MISCARRIAGE...

WE DECIDED TO FIND A SURROGATE.

YEAH, WE CHECKED AROUND.

THE MORE ESTABLISHED SERVICES

WERE MORE THAN WE
COULD POSSIBLY AFFORD.

SO YOU FOUND AN
UNLICENSED BROKER.

A TOTAL SLEAZEBAG
ATTORNEY NAMED ALLAN ROTH.

BIG MISTAKE.

WE SHOULD HAVE KNOWN.

A WOMAN LIKE KATHY
LANDIS WAS THE ONLY KIND

THAT'D HAVE ANYTHING
TO DO WITH HIM.

BUT WE WERE DESPERATE.

WHAT KIND OF TROUBLE IS SHE IN?

IT'S MY SAD DUTY TO TELL YOU

MS. LANDIS' BODY WAS
DISCOVERED TODAY

UNDER QUESTIONABLE
CIRCUMSTANCES.

A-ARE YOU SAYING
SHE WAS MURDERED?

I'M SORRY, BUT I'M NOT SHOCKED.

ARE YOU?

HONESTLY?

YOU'RE NOT SURPRISED?

KATHY LANDIS HUNG AROUND
WITH PEOPLE LIKE ROTH.

SOCIALIZE WITH DRUG
DEALERS AND LOWLIFES,

YOU MIGHT END UP DEAD.

WHEN WAS THE LAST TIME

EITHER OF YOU SPOKE
TO OR SAW MS. LANDIS?

WELL, OUR DAUGHTER JUST
TURNED 4, SO THAT'S HOW LONG.

Dep. Chief Johnson: DID YOU HAVE MUCH
CONTACT DURING THE PREGNANCY?

AT FIRST, WE WOULD BRING
HER FOOD, STUFF LIKE THAT,

BUT THEN ROTH KEPT US AWAY.

WHEN EMMA WAS BORN UNDERWEIGHT

AND WITH COCAINE IN HER BLOOD,

WE UNDERSTOOD WHY.

THE DOCTORS WARNED US EMMA
MIGHT BE DEVELOPMENTALLY DELAYED,

BUT AS YOU CAN SEE, SHE'S
A HAPPY, HEALTHY KID TODAY.

AND HAVE YOU DEALT
WITH MR. ROTH SINCE?

UH, WELL, ACTUALLY, WE... WE
THOUGHT ABOUT SUING HIM AT FIRST.

BUT WE JUST HAD SO
MUCH TO DEAL WITH,

AND THEN WE WERE JUST RELIEVED
TO HAVE HIM OUT OF OUR LIVES.

SPEND 5 MINUTES WITH
HIM. YOU'LL UNDERSTAND.

AH. YOU GET THE FEELING BUSINESS
ISN'T EXACTLY BOOMING FOR THIS GUY?

UH, YEAH?

ALLAN ROTH?

UH-HUH.

DEPUTY CHIEF BRENDA
LEIGH JOHNSON OF THE L.A.P.D.

THIS IS LIEUTENANT FLYNN.

WE'VE GOT A FEW QUESTIONS
WE NEED TO ASK YOU.

YEAH, SURE. OF COURSE.

I'M... I'M JUST WRAPPING
IT UP WITH A CLIENT.

CAN YOU GIVE ME
ONE... ONE MINUTE?

WE'LL BE RIGHT HERE.

YOU KNOW, IT TURNS OUT
THE VICTIM AND HER BOYFRIEND

HAD A BUSINESS IMPORTING
MEXICAN FOLK CRAFTS.

NOW, THE TOTAL INCOME OVER
THE PAST 3 YEARS WAS ABOUT $40,000.

YET SOMEHOW THEY MANAGED TO BUY A
HOUSE IN SILVER LAKE FREE AND CLEAR.

I SUPPOSE A LITTLE SUPPLEMENTAL
DRUG INCOME GOES A LONG WAY.

YEAH, NO JOKE. I
MEAN, THIS PLACE

IS LIKE STATE-OF-THE-ART
EVERYTHING.

THERE'S NO BABY YET,

BUT THEIR KID'S ROOM IS TOTALLY
DECKED OUT AND READY TO GO.

LOOK AT THIS. TOYS.

[TELEPHONE RINGS]

GIANT DOLLHOUSE.

[RING]

WHO ARE YOU CALLING?

MR. ROTH.

[RING]

[RING]

UNH.

[RING]

EVERY DOCUMENT ON
THIS TABLE IS PRIVILEGED.

EVERY DOCUMENT WAS PRIVILEGED
BEFORE YOU THREW THEM AWAY.

I DIDN'T THROW 'EM
AWAY. I DROPPED 'EM.

WHILE EVADING
ARREST. IS THAT IT?

DID YOU THROW THEM AWAY OR
DROP THEM WHILE EVADING ARREST?

[SIGHS]

I THREW 'EM AWAY.

THAT'S WHAT I THOUGHT.

NOW, I NOTICED THAT
SEVERAL OF YOUR BABIES

WENT TO OREGON,
WASHINGTON, NEVADA.

YOU DO REALIZE THAT YOU
VIOLATED INTERSTATE ADOPTION LAWS.

[SIGHS] CAN WE GO BACK
TO EVADING ARREST?

ABSOLUTELY NOT.

I WANT A LAWYER.

WELL, IF I WERE YOU,
I WOULDN'T THINK

OF SPEAKING TO THE
F.B.I. WITHOUT ONE.

WHAT... WHAT DO WE GOTTA
INVOLVE THE F.B.I. FOR?

I'M SURE THAT WE CAN COME
TO SOME KIND OF AGREEMENT.

I'M NOT INTERESTED IN REACHING
AN AGREEMENT, MR. ROTH.

I AM ONLY INTERESTED IN
FINDING KATHY LANDIS' KILLER.

SOMEBODY KILLED KATHY LANDIS?

YOU KNOW, THAT ALMOST
SOUNDED CONVINCING, MR. ROTH.

WHAT DO YOU THINK,
LIEUTENANT FLYNN?

I HAD NO IDEA KATHY
LANDIS WAS DEAD. SERIOUSLY.

OH, NO. WHAT? WHAT, YOU THINK
I HAD SOMETHING TO DO WITH IT?

TELL ME ABOUT THE
SPENGLER PREGNANCY.

DOES... I...

I DON'T... COMPLETELY
UNEVENTFUL.

UM, KATHY LANDIS GAVE
THEM A BEAUTIFUL BABY GIRL.

I BELIEVE THAT BABY WAS BORN UNDERWEIGHT
AND TESTED POSITIVE FOR COCAINE.

WAS IT?

I DEAL WITH SO MANY COUPLES.

AW, COME ON, LOOK, I
DID EVERYTHING I COULD

TO GET KATHY LANDIS OFF DRUGS.

BEFORE NEXT PREGNANCY, I
EVEN OFFERED TO LOAN HER MONEY

SO THAT SHE COULD GO
TO REHAB. SHE REFUSED.

YOU USED KATHY LANDIS
AGAIN AFTER THE SPENGLERS?

YEAH.

IT... YEAH.

AND I PAID FOR IT, BELIEVE ME.

HOW WAS THAT?

BABY WAS STILLBORN.

IT WAS TRAGIC. IT
WAS. IT WAS TRAGIC.

AND THE SANSONES... THAT'S THE
OTHER COUPLE, THEY WERE FURIOUS.

THEY DEMANDED THEIR MONEY BACK.

YOU THINK I GOT A DIME
FROM KATHY LANDIS?

HELL, NO. I'M STILL
PAYIN' 'EM BACK.

AND HOW RECENTLY DID YOU
TRY TO COLLECT FROM HER?

OH, I WROTE KATHY
LANDIS OFF 3 YEARS AGO.

SHE'S A TOTAL LOOSE CANNON.

AND YOU HAVEN'T
SPOKEN TO HER SINCE?

UH, BEFORE YOU ANSWER THAT,

KEEP IN MIND I WILL ACCESS
YOUR PHONE RECORDS.

SHE CALLED ME 2 WEEKS AGO.

SHE... SHE WANTED TO
BE A SURROGATE AGAIN.

I TOLD HER GET LOST.

YOU KNOW WHAT PEOPLE LOOK
LIKE WHEN THEY'RE COKED UP?

HER EYES WERE WIDE, AND HER
TEETH WERE GRINDING. THAT WAS HER.

YOU JUST SAID SHE CALLED YOU.

ARE YOU NOW SAYING
SHE CAME TO SEE YOU?

RIGHT. YES. SHE CALLED ME,

AND THEN SHE CAME TO SEE ME.

WHAT?!

MR. ROTH, I HAVE LOOKED
THROUGH ALL YOUR PAPERWORK,

AND I FIND NOTHING RELATED TO
THE SPENGLERS AND KATHY LANDIS.

YEAH, WELL, YOU KNOW, I MIGHT
NEVER HAVE DRAWN UP A CONTRACT.

SOMETIMES, WHEN I
FELT IT WAS APPROPRIATE,

I WOULD DO BUSINESS
ON A HANDSHAKE.

REALLY?

AND HAVE YOU EVER SHAKEN SOMEONE
SO HARD YOU BROKE THEIR NECK?

LET HIM STEW,

AND WE'LL FIND THIS OTHER
COUPLE, THE SANSONES,

AND WHERE THEY WERE
WHEN KATHY LANDIS DIED.

WHAT'S THE POINT?

EVERYTHING WE'VE GOTTEN SO FAR

IS INADMISSIBLE IN COURT.

ONCE THE F.B.I. TAKES
CAMPBELL INTO CUSTODY,

I'LL BE ABLE TO
LEGITIMIZE EVERYTHING.

HOW THE HELL ARE
YOU GONNA DO THAT?

CORONER'S PRELIMINARY NOTES,

THEY CONFIRMED OUR
VICTIM DIED 4 TO 6 HOURS

BEFORE ROBBERY/HOMICIDE
FOUND HER.

CAUSE OF DEATH: A BROKEN
FIFTH CERVICAL VERTEBRA,

WHICH TRANSECTED
THE SPINAL CORD.

AND WAS SHE PREGNANT?

HIGHLY DOUBTFUL. THE CORONER
SAYS LANDIS HAD A HYSTERECTOMY.

CHIEF. YES.

COMMANDER TAYLOR'S
BEEN PUSHING DISCUSSIONS

BETWEEN PROSECUTORS
AND CAMPBELL'S LAWYER.

WORD IS THEY ARE VERY
CLOSE TO MAKING A DEAL.

IF CAMPBELL MAKES A
DEAL WITH PROSECUTORS,

HE'LL SAY WHERE
THE BODY WAS FOUND.

YEAH, I UNDERSTAND
THAT, DETECTIVE SANCHEZ.

HAS ANYONE HEARD FROM FRITZ?

UH, I MEAN, UH, SPECIAL
AGENT HOWARD?

THEN ANY SUGGESTIONS

ON HOW WE CAN DELAY
A PLEA AGREEMENT

BEING BROKERED ON THE
SIXTH FLOOR? ANYTHING?

I HOPED IT WOULDN'T
COME TO THIS.

THERE COMES A TIME
IN EVERY MAN'S LIFE

WHEN HE HAS TO BE WILLING
TO FALL ON HIS SWORD.

LOOKS LIKE, FOR
ME, THAT TIME IS NOW.

HEY, FLYNN, I'M RESIGNING
TO SAVE YOUR ASS.

WOULD YOU HANG UP THE PHONE?

ASSHOLE.

ANYWAY, LOOK,

TO EVERYBODY ELSE
HERE EXCEPT FLYNN,

I SAY...

[ALARM BLARING]

BOMB THREAT.

EVERYBODY OUT.

LEAVE YOUR THINGS.

IT'S A BOMB THREAT.

[ALARM BLARING]

[DISPATCH CHATTER]

[BULLHORN] STAND CLEAR
OF THE BUILDING ENTRANCE

TILL THE SEARCH IS COMPLETE.

[SIRENS]

PLEASE, STEP BACK
AND STAND CLEAR

UNTIL I GIVE YOU
FURTHER INSTRUCTIONS.

[HELICOPTER]

STAND CLEAR OF THE
BUILDING ENTRANCE

TILL THE SEARCH IS COMPLETED.

YOU KNOW YOU'RE GOTTA
COUGH IT OUT. JUST KEEP TALKING.

SORRY I'M LATE.

OHH! OH, THANK GOD YOU'RE HERE.

WHAT DID I MISS?

UH, IT'S JUST A BOMB THREAT.

THAT'S ALWAYS A DRAG, HUH?

NOT ALWAYS.

SO, LISTEN... UH-HUH.

I RAN CAMPBELL. UH-HUH.

THIS GUY'S A PLAYER.

HE'S WAY UNDER THE RADAR.

HIS ONE OUTSTANDING
WARRANT, FROM WHEN EL PASO P.D.

CAUGHT HIM WITH 3 OUNCES
OF METH AND $4,000 IN CASH.

YEAH. IN OTHER WORDS, HE'S
WANTED FOR NARCOTICS TRAFFICKING,

CONSPIRACY TO COMMIT
MONEY LAUNDERING,

CONSPIRACY TO DISTRIBUTE...

INTERNATIONAL DRUG TRAFFICKING.

THIS IS ONE VERY BAD GUY WITH
SERIOUS TIES TO THE GULF CARTEL.

I'M TAKIN' HIM.

Cmdr. Taylor: THIS IS NONSENSE.

[DOOR OPENS]

[DOG BARKING]

WATCH YOUR HEAD.

CODE 4. CODE 4.

ALL CLEAR.

I'M NOT ANSWERING ANY
QUESTIONS WITHOUT MY LAWYER.

[SIGHS]

YOUR DEAL WITH THE L.A.P.D.
IS BEHIND YOU, MR. CAMPBELL.

YOU'RE IN F.B.I. CUSTODY NOW,

AND IF YOU DON'T COOPERATE,
SPECIAL AGENT HOWARD

WILL HAVE YOU THROWN
INTO PRISON AS A DRUG SNITCH.

DO WE UNDERSTAND EACH OTHER?

GOOD.

NOW, I WANT YOU TO KNOW,
BEFORE I ASK YOU THESE QUESTIONS,

THAT I AM STRONGLY
INCLINED TO BELIEVE

THAT YOU DID NOT
KILL YOUR GIRLFRIEND,

AND WHAT YOU TELL ME NOW WILL
GREATLY ASSIST ME IN DISCOVERING WHO DID.

I'M GONNA TAPE-RECORD
EVERYTHING YOU SAY.

WOULD YOU LIKE TO WAIVE
YOUR RIGHT TO AN ATTORNEY?

YES.

WHERE DID YOU DISCOVER
THE BODY OF KATHERINE LANDIS?

IN A GARAGE, UH, THIS
PLACE KATHY USED TO RENT.

AND HOW DID YOU GET TO THE BODY?

I KICKED IN THE BACK DOOR
AND DRAGGED HER OUT.

AND WHAT DID YOU
DO WITH THE BODY?

I...

[ALL SIGH]

SO WHAT HAPPENS TO
SCOTT CAMPBELL NOW?

WELL, HE RATS OUT HIS
DRUG CONTACTS TO THE F.B.I.,

AND THEN IN A FEW YEARS,
HE TURNS UP IN PHOENIX

AS THE NICE NEIGHBOR IN THE NEW
HOUSE WHO NEVER HAS TO WORK.

AHEM. I'D JUST LIKE
TO SAY TO EVERYONE

ON BEHALF OF FLYNN AND MYSELF

HOW SORRY WE ARE FOR THE
THINGS WE PUT YOU THROUGH

AND HOW MUCH WE APPRECIATE

WHAT YOU WERE
WILLING TO DO FOR US.

LIEUTENANT PROVENZA, THANK
YOU SO MUCH FOR THAT APOLOGY.

THAT WAS SHORT, SWEET,
AND ENTIRELY INSUFFICIENT.

WHOEVER KILLED KATHERINE
LANDIS IS STILL OUT THERE,

AND NO ONE IS LOOKING
FOR HER MURDERER BUT US.

SO THE VICTIM'S A
FORMER SURROGATE

WHOSE BOYFRIEND CUT
HER OPEN FOR DRUGS.

THAT'S THE BIG SECRET?

ACTUALLY, NO, IT'S NOT.

WELL, WHEN DO I FIND OUT?

NEVER. I NEED YOU TO ACCEPT

THAT YOU GOT TO THIS
PLACE BLINDFOLDED,

BUT FROM NOW ON,
YOU SEE EVERYTHING.

WELL, DO I AT LEAST GET TO
KNOW WHY YOU'RE NOT TELLING ME?

SERGEANT, KEEPING
YOU ON THE OUTSIDE

WAS A REFLECTION OF HOW
VITAL YOU ARE TO THIS SQUAD.

SO WHY DIDN'T YOU LET ME HELP?

YOU DID, AS SOMEONE I
KNEW I COULD COUNT ON

WHEN EVERYTHING ELSE FELL APART.

I HAVE HALF A DOZEN
OF THE OTHERS,

BUT I HAVE ONLY GOT ONE OF YOU.

I TOLD YOU ALREADY,

KATHY LANDIS CAME
TO SEE ME 2 WEEKS AGO,

BECAUSE SHE WANTED
TO BE A SURROGATE AGAIN.

MR. ROTH, THE CORONER
HAS ESTABLISHED

THAT KATHERINE LANDIS WAS
UNABLE TO BEAR CHILDREN.

YES. NO, I KNOW...

YES, I KNOW THAT. NO,
SHE COULDN'T HAVE KIDS.

SHE... I... I MEAN, SHE... SHE DIDN'T
WANNA BE A SURROGATE AGAIN.

WHAT I MEANT IS SHE WANTED
TO USE MY SURROGACY SERVICE.

YOU KNOW, SHE HAD
STRAIGHTENED HER LIFE OUT,

AND... AND SHE'S...
WELL, SHE WANTED TO...

SHE WANTED TO HAVE
A BABY OF HER OWN.

I DON'T CLAIM TO BE AN EXPERT

ON CHILD REARING, MR. ROTH,

BUT I DO KNOW THAT
YOU DON'T PUT AN INFANT

IN A PRINCESS CANOPY BED.

AS YOU CAN SEE, KATHERINE LANDIS

WAS PREPARING FOR THE
ARRIVAL OF AN OLDER CHILD.

I'M GUESSING A 4-YEAR-OLD GIRL.

I DON'T KNOW
ANYTHING ABOUT THAT.

WE THINK YOU DO.

THE F.B.I. IS ON MY
SPEED DIAL, MR. ROTH.

WE ARE SO CLOSE, I'M
PRACTICALLY IN BED WITH THEM.

NOW, YOU CAN CONTINUE TO LIE

ABOUT WHAT HAPPENED BETWEEN
YOU AND KATHERINE LANDIS,

AND I'LL HAVE YOU PROSECUTED
FOR SELLING CHILDREN,

OR YOU CAN BE A
COOPERATING WITNESS

AND TELL ME WHY KATHERINE
LANDIS REALLY CAME TO SEE YOU.

EITHER WAY, THE STORK IS DEAD.

THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR
AGREEING TO SPEAK WITH US AGAIN.

UH, WE JUST GOT A FEW
LOOSE ENDS TO TIE UP.

AFTER AN INTERVIEW LIKE
THE ONE WE HAD YESTERDAY,

IT IS ROUTINE FOR US TO DO
A BASIC BACKGROUND CHECK.

WE LOOK FOR PRIOR ARRESTS,

REPORTS OF DOMESTIC
DISTURBANCES, THAT KIND OF THING.

A FEW WEEKS AGO, A MRS. HENSLEY
FROM NEXT DOOR CALLED THE POLICE

TO SAY THAT THERE WAS A WOMAN
ON YOUR FRONT LAWN MAKING THREATS.

WELL, THAT'S THE FIRST I'VE
HEARD OF A POLICE REPORT.

IF THE COMMOTION WAS OVER BY
THE TIME THE OFFICER DROVE BY,

I IMAGINE HE WOULDN'T
HAVE BOTHERED YOU.

UH, I SPENT 3 HOURS
WITH ALLAN ROTH TODAY,

AND HE TRIED TO CONCEAL
THAT 2 WEEKS AGO,

HE'D GIVEN KATHERINE
LANDIS YOUR HOME ADDRESS.

THAT WAS A TERRIBLE VIOLATION
OF YOUR CONFIDENTIALITY,

AND HE WILL BE PUNISHED,
BUT AM I CORRECT IN ASSUMING

THAT IT WAS MISS LANDIS WHO WAS
CREATING THAT DISTURBANCE OUT FRONT?

2 WEEKS AGO, KATHY LANDIS
APPEARED OUT OF NOWHERE

DEMANDING TO SEE EMMA.

CRAIG ARGUED WITH HER.

SHE LEFT, AND THAT WAS THAT.

AND YET THE FOLLOWING
DAY, YOU HIRED AN ATTORNEY

SPECIALIZING IN
CUSTODY DISPUTES,

AND LAST WEEK A
PRIVATE INVESTIGATOR.

THIS IS A PICTURE TAKEN FROM
A SECURITY CAMERA AT LAX

DATE- AND TIME-STAMPED
9:25 A.M. YESTERDAY.

MR. SPENGLER, IS THAT
A PICTURE OF YOU...

ESCORTING KATHY LANDIS OUTSIDE
OF THE INTERNATIONAL TERMINAL?

CRAIG?

[CLEARS THROAT]

I THINK IT WOULD BE A GOOD IDEA

IF YOU AND YOUR DAUGHTER WENT
INTO ANOTHER ROOM, MRS. SPENGLER.

HONEY, I...

ELLEN, JUST DO WHAT THEY SAY.

COME HERE, BABY.

GIVE ME A HUG, BIG HUG.

OK.

I WANNA MAKE THIS CLEAR.

MY WIFE KNOWS NOTHING ABOUT
WHAT HAPPENED YESTERDAY.

IF YOU CAN CONVINCE ME OF THAT

AND I CAN CONVINCE
THE DISTRICT ATTORNEY,

PERHAPS HE'LL ALLOW YOUR WIFE TO
MAINTAIN CUSTODY OF YOUR DAUGHTER.

KATHY LANDIS SAID
SHE WANTED EMMA,

SAID WITHOUT A LEGAL CONTRACT,

SHE THOUGHT SHE'D GET CUSTODY.

SHE'D DONE HER STINT IN REHAB.

MY NEW LAWYER THOUGHT THAT
WOULD GIVE HER A FIGHTING CHANCE.

SHE'S BEEN SMUGGLING HEROIN.

MY DAUGHTER'S BEEN
THROUGH ENOUGH.

I WASN'T ABOUT TO LET
HER FALL INTO THE HANDS

OF A DRUG-DEALING DEGENERATE.

YOUR PRIVATE
INVESTIGATOR TOLD YOU

WHEN KATHERINE LANDIS WOULD
BE RETURNING FROM THE DRUG RUN?

YES.

I KNEW SHE WOULDN'T MAKE
A SCENE AT THE AIRPORT,

NOT WHEN SHE WAS CARRYING,

SO AFTER I GOT HER INTO MY CAR,

I OFFERED HER MONEY IF
SHE WOULD JUST DISAPPEAR,

GET OUT OF OUR
LIVES. SHE LAUGHED,

SAID SHE DIDN'T NEED ANY MONEY,

ALL SHE WANTED WAS HER CHILD.

HER CHILD.

BUT YOU HAD ANOTHER OPTION.

YES, AND WHEN SHE REALIZED

THAT I WAS TAKING
HER TO THE POLICE...

SHE WENT...

CRAZY.

THINGS GOT OUT OF HAND.

I DIDN'T MEAN TO HURT HER.

BUT YOU KILLED HER,

AND YOU DUMPED HER BODY
OFF SEPULVEDA BOULEVARD.

SEPULVEDA? NO.

I WAS PANICKED.

I DIDN'T KNOW WHAT THE
HELL I WAS GOING TO DO,

AND THEN I REMEMBERED THAT I
ACTUALLY STILL HAVE A KEY TO THE, UH,

PLACE SHE WAS STAYING
WHEN SHE WAS PREGNANT,

SO I... I THOUGHT THAT
IF I LEFT HERE THERE,

MAYBE THAT WOULD
BE THE END OF IT,

MAYBE WE COULD JUST
GO ON WITH OUR LIVES.

I'LL GIVE YOU 5 HOURS TO TURN YOURSELF
IN ON CHARGES OF MANSLAUGHTER.

THIS IS A WARRANT.

IT LISTS EVERYTHING THAT YOU
AND YOUR LAWYER WILL NEED

WHEN YOU SIT DOWN WITH ME AND THE DISTRICT
ATTORNEY LATER ON THIS AFTERNOON...

BABY DOCUMENTS
AND CANCELED CHECKS.

AND IF YOU WOULD PLEASE
BRING THAT KEY TO THE GARAGE.

I ASSUME THAT
YOU'RE A GOOD FATHER,

MR. SPENGLER, AND A
DECENT HUMAN BEING.

THAT SAID, IF YOU TRY AND RUN,

I WILL MAKE CERTAIN THAT YOU ARE
CHARGED WITH FIRST-DEGREE MURDER

AND YOUR WIFE AS AN ACCESSORY.
DO I MAKE MYSELF CLEAR?

ALL OF THIS...

IT WAS JUST BECAUSE I WANT
TO KEEP MY DAUGHTER SAFE.

YOU WERE PROTECTING YOUR OWN.

I CAN UNDERSTAND THAT.

UHH! THANK YOU.

WELL, I HAVE, UH,
SPOKEN TO THE D.A.,

AND SPENGLER'S PLEA
TO MANSLAUGHTER

WON'T REVEAL WHERE
HE DISPOSED OF THE BODY.

THEN WE'RE OUT OF THE WOODS.

NO. NO, NO, NO.

THERE IS STILL ONE PIECE

OF POTENTIALLY INCRIMINATING
EVIDENCE FLOATING AROUND.

OK, LOOK, CHIEF, I JUST
WANT YOU TO KNOW

THIS KIND OF THING, IT'LL
NEVER HAPPEN AGAIN.

OH, I KNOW THAT, LIEUTENANT.

JUST LIKE I KNOW THAT
UNDER MOST CIRCUMSTANCES,

YOU TWO ARE CONSCIENTIOUS
AND DISCIPLINED

AND...

GENEROUS.

MALLOY'S?

THAT'S WHERE YOU'RE
TAKING THE SQUAD FOR DINNER.

A CASE OF McCRAE RIDGE 1997?

MMM. MY FAVORITE MERLOT. HEH.

THOUGH IN A PINCH, I'LL
TAKE BERINGER HOWELL.

SERGEANT GABRIEL LIKES
HIS SUITS FROM FRED SEGAL.

DANIELS LOVES OPIUM,
THE PERFUME, OF COURSE.

3 BOTTLES SHOULD BE PLENTY.

DETECTIVE SANCHEZ WANTS
A 47-INCH FLAT-SCREEN TV,

AND LIEUTENANT TAO'S SON
HAS JUST BEEN BEGGING HIM

FOR SOMETHING
CALLED A MACBOOK PRO.

YOU CAN ASK TAO HOW MANY
GIGA-WHATEVERS TO BUY.

WHAT ISN'T ON THIS LIST?

OH, I'M SO GLAD YOU ASKED.

THOUGHTFUL. HEH.

THE METS ARE PLAYING
THE DODGERS NEXT MONTH,

AND AGENT HOWARD, WHO TRULY WENT
ABOVE AND BEYOND THE CALL OF DUTY,

WOULD JUST LOVE A PAIR OF...

SKYBOX TICKETS.
