The Closer (2005–2012): Season 7, Episode 17 - Fool's Gold - full transcript

[RINGING]

Your phone's been ringing,
why don't you pick It up?

I know who's calling
and I don't wanna talk to her.

FLYNN:
What if it's an emergency?

Then she ought to call 911, not me.

Hey, why don't we, uh, go down to McClure's
for the early bird special...

you know, hang out for the game?

Hang out at the bar?

- So, what's in it for me?
- You can watch me get drunk.

You know, uh,
carpooling has its tradeoffs.

If you live your life on the wagon,
now and then you have to drive It.



[PHONE RINGING]

. PROVENZA
Stop calling me.

[PROVENZA GROANS]

Excuse me, Lieutenant Provenza, sir.
.There's someone here to see you...

LIZ:
What's the matter, Louie...

.your phone doesn't sound broken
to me.

Liz.

I called you a million times.

- Which wife is Liz, again? His third?
PROVENZA: I told you no family...

That's definitely Heather.

PROVENZA: Not our kids, not our
grandkids, and certainly not you.

You wanna talk to me, call me at home.

- Me and Flynn are out here.
LIZ: Flynn and I.

Flynn and I out of here.
Louie, this Is an emergency.



- Correcting his grammar.
- Wow. His very first ex.

PROVENZA:
Okay, Liz, what's this about?

I had to sell my wedding ring and
In our divorce settlement...

- ...it says you paid $500 for it.
- Wait a minute, you sold our wedding ring?

LIZ: And do you know
how much I got for it, Louie?

- Forty-nine dollars.
- Forty-nine dollars.

You mailed the ring
to a place called Goldibucks?

Goldibucks is a legitimate business.
They advertise on TV.

And frankly,
I have to have the money. Now.

- Hey, Liz, is everything okay?
- No, It's not. It's Frank. He's sick.

His asthma is getting worse...

he needs insulin,
his blood pressure is through the roof.

It's getting harder and harder
to pay for his prescriptions.

- Oh, Liz, I'm so sorry.
- Flynn. Frank Is Just a dog.

Would you call him just a dog
In front of your grandkids?

Liz, please.
God, don't start an argument here.

We finally found an arrangement
that makes our relationship very strong.

What? We barely see each other.

That's the arrangement. Look, I found
the address for this Goldibucks place.

It's only 10 minutes from here.
We'll go there now...

and get the ring back,
which I can't believe you sold.

Doesn't our wedding ring
mean anything to you at all?

Of course, it does.
Here, I'll show you what it means.

[FRANK PANTING]

You're right, Liz,
Frank doesn't sound too good.

Doesn't look so hot either
This dog's still ugly as sin.

What can I say? I have a type.

[FLYNN CHUCKLES]

But thank you for taking me
to the gold store In an actual police car.

In the 10 years
Louie and I were married...

- ...he never once let me do a ride along.
- Really?

- Wanna turn on the siren?
- Could I?

- Oh, God.
- Yeah, yeah, just hit that switch right there.

[SIREN WAILING]

Oh, no, no, no. Frank, baby, calm down.
Don't get overexcited.

- Turn that damn siren off!
- Okay, okay, okay. I got It. I got It. I got It.

Easy back there,
think about your blood pressure.

Better be talking to this dog.

It's nice to see
he wasn't just an asshole at home.

Oh, you have no idea.

LIZ:
Come on, baby. Come on.

- So, what's the plan?
- The plan is to give whatever scam artist...

who owns this place
a good old fashioned what for.

Sorry, we're closing.

Oh, well, uh...

Uh, yeah, anyway, uh...

I would like to see
someone about, uh, this check.

Oh. Okay, well, just give me one moment and
let me see If there's anything I can do.

Are you allowed to show your badge?
I don't want you breaking any laws.

The constitution demands that to
enter a business on a legal call...

Liz, Liz, please. Please, if you want
your money back, let me handle It.

[MACHINE WHIRRING]

Ah. Oh.

Man, how can you work
with all that racket?

It's temporary.
We're putting In a new security system.

Yeah, so, what exactly
can I help you guys with?

Well, first off, I'm sure a sweet-looking
girl like yourself had nothing to do with It.

FLYNN: But-
- But someone here...

didn't give this poor old lady
the proper payment for her ring

And if you could help us out,
we'd be very grateful.

Okay. Yeah. Uh, Liz Provenza. Well,
I can't write you a check...

but let me see if I can find
your jewelry and return It to you.

Give me one sec.
Liz Provenza, Liz Provenza.

Uh-huh.

Well, she's going to the back to get the
ring and your constitution Is still sacred.

What the hell is he doing?
Rooting for truffles?

Liz Provenza. Got it.

PROVENZA:
Thank you. Thank you very much.

- Beautiful and quick.
- Oh, sorry.

Anybody tell you
that you have an amazing smile?

- Good lord.
- What? She does.

- Thank you.
- Bye. Bye-bye.

We have to lock the door.

- Bye. See you.
FLYNN: Yeah, okay, sure. Bye.

PROVENZA:
If you wanna sell the ring so bad...

LIZ:
So badly.

Oh, right, so badly, so badly...

I know a guy in the jewelry business
who'll give us what the ring Is worth.

One minute.
Frank needs to stretch his legs.

His legs are five inches long.

Do you hear how bad Frank is wheezing?
Just write her a check.

PRO VENZA:
I've written her 473 checks.

I've bought the house that she and that dog
live in. No more checks.

Louie, isn't that the woman
who was helping us?

She said they were locking up.

Whoa, whoa, whoa.

All the jewelry, it's gone. Oh, God.

Don't jump to any conclusions.

PROVENZA: Liz, Liz.
- Frank, come back..

- That women, she pulled off her glove.
- Don't eat that, Frank.

No, Frank, give me the glove.
Oh, no, Frank, flop give me the gloves.

- No, Frank. Frank. Frank. Frankie.
- Give me the glove.

FLYNN:
Come on, Frank. No.

That rubber glove was worn by a robber
in a robbery...

- ...that we let happen.
- No, small-time robbery, no big deal.

- Chief.
- No. Not yet.

- Lieutenant Tao.
- Victim's name tag reads Milo Billings.

His Facebook page is up on his computer.
Says he's 64 years old.

Kendall found broken ribs.

Maybe it was cardiac arrest during the
robbery, which would make this murder.

- If I could just explain-
- I said, not yet.

- Detective Gabriel?
GABRIEL: Yeah, well, uh, Milo's name's...

all over these business documents.
They have him listed as the owner.

- Yeah, well, I can-
- What part of “not yet”...

are you misunderstanding?

- Detective Sanchez?
- You see the chords, chief?

These feed from four security cameras
connected to a hard drive...

that used to be there.

Well, at least we won't have
to watch video of you two on the news...

ignoring a robbery and a murder.

- Okay, your turn, what happened? I
- Okay, chief, when we arrived here...

there was a girl who we thought was
an employee packing up for the night.

She was packing up, all right.

And neither of you saw
or heard anything...

that would indicate
there was a robbery going on?

They were drilling the safe
while you were here?

Okay, in our defense, chief, the girl said
she was Installing a new security system.

Does she have a name?

How about a description?

Oh. Uh, she was pretty.

- Ah, yeah, I mean, sexy even.
- Yeah, I mean she was cute, nice legs.

FLYNN: Yeah.
- She was 5'9”, looked between 28 and 32...

wore brunette wig, blue eyes,
could've been contacts.

Only time we saw her male partner
was when they were running.

Chief, this is my first ex-wife, Liz,
and her dog Frank.

Now, we came here to get back a ring
that she sold by mall.

It's a pleasure, Liz and Frank.

P ROVE NZA:
There is some good news.

Uh, the female thief,
she dropped a latex glove.

Now, with any luck, we'll be able
to get a print off the Inside of It

- Okay. Where's the glove?
- Well, it's, uh, temporarily unavailable.

But I assure it will
show up in a day or so.

- The dog, uh...
- Frank ate the glove.

- Shut up, Frank.
- Lieutenant Tao, do you think it's possible...

.that the glove will make it through
in a usable fashion?

Drug mules use balloons made out
of this material all the time.

All right, look, uh,
we need to hang on to Frank, here.

You can't hold Frank, he has a doctor's
appointment tomorrow afternoon.

This is a violation of his civil rights.

Liz. Liz, dogs do not have civil rights.

Their owners do. You can't impound
my dog without my permission.

All right, look,
we need to keep Frank, so...

Liz, maybe you could stay with us too,
If you don't mind.

I'll help you anyway I can.

Frank truly needs someone who
will pay attention to him.

GABRIEL:
I found a search warrant, chief.

So you came here
with your ex-wife and a warrant.

Wait a minute, our warrant, no.

Chief,
uh, I don't think this warrant is legit.

- Why'
- Because it's signed by a Judge Judy.

RAYDOR:
These suspects identify themselves...

as L.A.P.D. officers
with badges and guns.

They produce a warrant,
seize all the gold In the store...

.saying they need to examine it
for stolen property.

Then they take the surveillance footage.
And I know all this...

because PSB has been investigating
these robberies for three months.

It still doesn't mean these guys are cops.

Anyone can download a
warrant off the internet.

The warrant left today demonstrates
a professional understanding of the law...

and I can't afford to just hope that these
people are thieves Impersonating officers.

She's right. She can't.

So the case belongs
to Professional Standards.

I see no reason
for Major Crimes to be involved.

- Excuse me?
- You haven't heard Chief Johnson's side.

This robbery was different
than the others...

which is why I think
that Major Crimes should be Involved.

Significantly different, how?

The thieves were interrupted
and left tools behind.

Interrupted by whom?

- I'll get back to that.
- Lieutenants Flynn and Provenza.

- There was a murder.
- I thought the victim died of a heart attack.

During the commission of a felony
which makes this a murder.

Is there any way
I can just avoid asking this question? No.

No, there isn't. Okay.

Flynn and Provenza witnessed
a robbery-slash-murder...

without stopping it
or collecting any evidence?

Uh, the female robber
took off her latex glove.

- So we do have fingerprints?
- We're having to wait.

Why are we waiting? I'm
the chief of police.

I'll call the Print Section
and we'll put a rush on It.

The glove is not with Print Section.

Of course not. Where is it?

Lieutenant Provenza's ex-wife, Liz, was
with him at the store and her dog Frank.

Frank got to the glove first and...

consumed it.

If I'm understanding you correctly,
and fear that I do...

Lieutenant Provenza's ex-wife's dog
ate the evidence.

And we're having to wait
for it to reappear.

All right, you know what, captain?
If this Is what you really want, then fine.

You continue investigating the robberies
and Major Crimes can handle the homicide...

but I want you, Chief Johnson,
to work together and to share Information.

And please remember how the words
“together” and “share”...

are traditionally defined.

BRENDA:
When will Frank be done with the glove?

Sometime in the next 24 hours
according to Dr. Morales' best guess.

Is there any way to speed this up?

- Laxatives.
- Frank's too sick for that.

BRENDA:
All right then, we wait.

So, what we know
about our victim Milo Billings?

Okay. He's been arrested a couple times
over the last 20 years...

mostly low-level con jobs.
He's basically a street scam-artist.

Milo found away to steal
with the store front.

He decided to cash in .on the gold craze.

He and his partner, Jerry Cooper,
opened up Gold bucks two years ago.

Yeah, preying on desperate,
gullible divorcees.

Are we talking about your dating life?

Uh, Detective Gabriel, I need to speak to
Jerry Cooper as quickly as possible, please.

Hello, everyone.
In the interest of sharing...

here's all in the info
on the previous gold-store robberies...

that PSB's been working on.

We haven't been able to identify the thieves
so we're calling them Bonnie and Clyde.

Did you guys check your stolen inventory
list with pawn shops' mail?

- Yes, but nothing's turned up so far.
- Gold has an extremely low melting point.

All Bonnie and Clyde would need is a pot,
a blowtorch and some borax...

to turn their loot into gold bars.

Why don't you let me take care
of where the gold goes...

- ...and you concentrate on the murder?
- It's all one thing to me.

If we don't go about this properly,
the thieves will say...

...the victim was dead when they broke Into
the store, that they tried to revive him.

We have to get the right kind of confession
to call this a murder.

Uh, chief? Jerry Cooper, he's on his way up.
Want him in Interview Room 1?

- You found Mr. Cooper already?
- No, he came in on his own.

Oh, all right then.
I guess I'll go talk to him.

Chief, shouldn't I interview
this person with you?

Uh, why don't you go on ahead
and I'll be right there?

Thank you.

Why do you think Mr. Cooper
showed up here on his own?

- Because Milo said the cops raided us.
- Milo said that?

- When did you talk to Mr. Billings?
- I was on the phone with him...

when the cops came into our store.

[CHUCKLES]

Listen to me, our store, technically
we're fifty-fifty, but I'd say...

Milo was more in charge if you had to
pick, like, a totally responsible party.

So if there were things
that didn't belong...

at Goldibucks, they are Milo's.

I wouldn't even know about them.

Mr. Cooper, what exactly did Milo say
to you on the phone?

That two cops were in the store
with a warrant...

...insisting we had stolen which
if we did, that would be Milo's.1

This is very important, Mr. Cooper.

Did Milo describe the police officers
who entered your store?

Just that they were a man and a woman.

Why aren't you asking Milo
what they looked like? He was there.

Mr. Cooper, I'm sorry to inform you
that your partner...

Milo, died of a heart attack today
when your store was robbed.

What?

You're telling me...

[SOBS]

We were robbed?

Oh, my God.
Tell me, what did they take?

Did you hear the part
about your partner dying of a heart attack?

Yeah, yeah, very sad.
His diet you wouldn't believe.

But the inventory, what's missing?

Oh, my God.

It...

It looks like everything
in the display cases.

Okay. That's not so bad.
We're insured for that.

- What else?
- The stuff in the back room.

Back room.
That's worse, but also insured.

- And?
- The safe was cleared out.

They took everything in the safe.
Not the safe.

- Oh, my God.
- Mr. Cooper, what was in the safe?

What was in the safe?

What was in the safe?

Ahh, urn...

Nothing much.

My personal valuables, a baseball card...

my birth certificate,
a picture of me with Bruce Willis.

Do you have a Valium or a Xanax...

.like the 50 milligram kind I take
when my parents visit?

Buzz, can you, uh, put me through
to the chief, please?

Sure thing.

Uh, chief, I need to talk to you
about some of Goldibucks'...

recent financial transactions.

Okay, you have to help me
get my stuff back.

I need to on the news.

Talk to the robbers.
You let victims do that, right?

When they've lost a child, Mr. Cooper,
not a bracelet.

Mr. Cooper, if there was something
specific In that safe...

something unique
and you could describe it to us...

.we would have a much better chance
of finding those thieves.

So if you do find my stuff, you
have to look at all of It?

You can't just hand it back to me?

Captain Raydor, why don't you explain
to Jerry here...

how he is now in the center
of our ongoing Investigation? Pardon me.

RAYDOR [ON MONITOR]:
We believe that the people who robbed...

Goldibucks are either
police impersonators...

or police officers acting illegally.

MR. COOPER [ON MONITOR]:
Oh, that's even more against the law.

- Isn't it?
- What's this guy's criminal record?

Okay. So financials for Goldibucks...

were pretty consistent
until a week ago when they received...

a half million dollar wire transfer
from the Cayman Islands.

Freeze those accounts. That is connected
to something In the Goldibucks safe.

Something Jerry wants
and It's not his Bruce Willis photo.

But Jerry has no criminal
or violent history.

And Raydor has been telling him
that police officers might be involved.

- I'm listening, lieutenant.
- Well, If you need a dirty cop, chief...

I'm at your service.

Well, I could direct Jerry to your house,
but he'll be showing up to make a deal...

with a crooked cop
and his female partner.

Oh, no. Never, not in a million years.

I spent 10 years in the same house with
that woman and that is just never...

You have no choice.
Lieutenant, right now, where you go...

Frank goes, and where Frank goes...

Louie, I swear I don't know
how you live with this smell.

The smell is your dog.

All I'm getting is wheezing.

I will admit, Louie,
there are times I miss you.

When we get together with our kids
and our grandkids and you laugh.

I always did love your laugh.

It might've been interesting
to have gotten through the rough patches...

just to see how we would've ended up.

And there were parts
of our relationship that always worked.

Oh, yeah. Well.

I'm sure there must be things
you miss about me too.

Oh, yes, of course.

Ah, look.

I can show you right now
what I miss the most.

I turned off the wire. We're alone.
I could kill the lights.

And we've probably got
a good five minutes.

And what would we do with the other four?

Jerry's approaching the house.

- Here we go.
LIZ [OVER RADIO]: Okay.

I've got audio now.

- Yes, who is it?
- Jerry Cooper,

You robbed my store today.

Don't beat me up.

I'm here to offer you a deal.

Get in here.

Get in here.

Good boy.

All right, he's not a wearing wire.
No wires.

He's not carrying a gun.
So take your positions.

All right,
sit down in this chair right now.

What are you doing accusing me
of being a robber?

No, no. I don't care
what you did at Gold bucks today.

I'm insured
and so my business partner died.

He was a criminal like you, no offense.

I am just an unemployed appraiser
who got caught up In the wrong crowd...

and all I need really is for you to give
me back two little things you stole...

- ...before you melt the rest down.
- Which two little things?

Good. See? We're already bargaining.

That's great.
All right, now, I should tell you...

.that for those two little things
I will pay you $10000.

- Ten thousand dollars?
- Okay, okay, $25,000.

PROVENZA [OVER RADIO]:
What two items are we talking about?

That was quick.
What are we dealing with here?

Show me what you stole
.and I'll pick them out.

Oh, no, no, you're trying to low ball us.

All right, Liz, melt everything.

MR. COOPER [OVER RADIO]: You don't
know the value of what you have.

- I'm the expert here.
PROVENZA: Oh.

Oh.

You're the expert, are you? All right.
How much, uh, If I throw In this ring?

Uh, I'd give you 50 extra bucks.

Sixty. Wait, higher, lower, what? What?

This ring...
This ring is worth $500. I don't trust you.

I don't trust you to look
through all our loot.

No, you're a con artist
scamming people to mail their gold In...

so you can rob them
of their possessions.

I resent that.

When a customer decides
to send a necklace or a ring to me...

that item clearly doesn't have
much personal value to them anymore.

I still don't trust the guy.

MR. COOPER:
Oh, God.

[PHONE BUZZING]

I don't have time for a long drawn out
negotiation with a pair of robbers.

I need the coins.

That's what I want,
the double eagle coins

Double eagles, double eagles.

He's talking about
some rare coins that are worth...

Wow.

Please.

Please.

We can split the money. Oh, my God.

[PHONE BUZZING]

Milo sold the coins to the guy
on the other end of this call.

He's a horrible human being,
eats flies, kills puppies.

You'll probably love him.

Help me, somebody.

Hello.

Oh, no, no, no, everything's cool.

Milo? Do you wanna talk to Milo?

Milo's, uh, busy.

Why? What?

No, no, flop look, look, look. I will
sort this out and I will call you back.

The buyer says that he's already talked
with someone else...

who says they have the coins.

Be ready to move.

You already gave the coins
to someone else.

This...

This is some kind of trap.

Frank! Heel, heel!

TAO: The dog! The evidence.
- Frank?

- Frank!
- You mean, me?

Stop!

TAO: Frank! Frank!
GABRIEL: Frank! Frank!

I don't understand.
Are you a good guy or a bad guy?

Jerry Cooper, you're under arrest.

- For what?
- For about 48 hours.

I don't understand.
Do you have the coins or not?

What do you call those coins again?

The double eagles, a $20 gold coin,
minted in 1933 but never monetized.

- Coins were supposed to be destroyed.
- So how do these exist, sir?

A small number
were stolen before the melt...

which means
any 1933 double eagle out there...

regardless of how it was acquired, is
property stolen from the U.S. government...

which, oddly enough
Is why they are valued so highly.

- Yeah, at 8 million apiece.
- Jerry said he had two of them.

Which is why I'm about to wake up
some of my people.

If you'll excuse me a minute, chief.

[PHONE BUZZES]

So the $500000
in the Goldibucks account...

must've been a down payment.

Chief, Jerry's buyer keeps calling...

but his number's blocked and
I've been pinging cell towers...

Chief, it smells like the evidence
might be on the way.

Oh.

Liz, why don't you and I
take Frank for another walk?

It's not a bad idea.

- He's getting that expression on his face.
- Thank you so much.

How can I help, chief?

- Carry the evidence bag for Captain Raydor.
- Oh, okay.

If we can't trace the call, we'll have
to have Jerry pick it up. Lieutenant?

Lieutenant?

Oh. Yeah, yeah, right.

- Hello, Jerry.
- You guys entrapped me.

Sorry about that, but we needed
to find out what was in the safe

So why don't you tell me how you ended up
with two stolen 1933 double eagle coins?

I did not steal them.
Some woman mailed them Into Goldibucks.

And I'm sure you gave her a fair price.

Milo paid her. And she cashed her check,
even sent us a thank you note, okay?

So not stolen.

Now, that we've got that sorted out,
can I go?

Unfortunately, Jerry, it's illegal
to even possess the double eagles.

Damn it.

Milo said no one would care.
But you do. People care.

[PHONE BUZZING]

You were planning on selling those coins to
the person on the other end of this call.

Not me. Milo.
Milo was planning to sell them.

And, okay, he was going to pay me for
recognizing their value, but It was all him.

And now, he's dead.

I told him cut back on the bacon.

Why not try margarines
on your steak instead of butter?

The people who gave Milo
that heart attack...

and robbed your store
are about to sell the coins themselves.

Now, we have frozen your accounts,
Je[I boy.

So, what do you think's going to happen
when Milo's buyer finds out...

that you can't repay the $500000
that he advanced you?

You're in danger now,
so answer that phone...

.the next time it rings and ask Milo's
buyer if he's met with the robbers.

[PHONE BUZZING]

Or don't pick up and I'll answer it
and tell them you cooperate with police.

Just, just...

[MR. COOPER WHIMPERING]

I'm dead. Dead.

Speak up.

- Hey, Victor, what's up?
VICTOR [OVER PHONE]: What's up, Jerry?

What's up?

Milo tells me you guys have the coins.

You show me the coins...

you take my $5OOOOO and now,
Milo is not answering his phone.

And another thief I deal with
Is calling me saying...

.that he and his lady friend
have the coins.

So let me ask you,
Jerry the idiot, what's up?

MR. COOPER:
Um...

Tell me, Victor...

these other guys,
did they show you the eagles?

VICTOR: I'm meeting with them
tomorrow at 9 a.m. at my gallery.

How about you meet with us too?

Either they have the coins or you do.

And if you don't,
then bring me my money.

Anything else and I'll kill you.
Sound good?

Tomorrow at 9.

- Can I just check my calendar?
- Tell him you'll be there.

No. I don't have the coins or the money,
he'll kill me.

You won't be there alone.
You'll be perfectly safe. I

Jerry?

Jerry, you there?

MR. COOPER [OVER PHONE]:
Sorry, reception.

Ah, anyway,
It turns out, I'm completely free.

I'll be there.

Oh, hey, chief. Guess what.

- Frank dropped the kids off at the pool.
- What does that mean?

FLYNN:
No sign of Clyde yet...

but we're so close to Bonnie,
we can smell it.

We got the glove.

FLYNN: Great, huh?

Urn, I'll start working on a print.

I got this feeling
that It's already In the system.

- Oh, thank you so much, Sharon.
RAYDOR: No problem, chief.

Lieutenant Tao, Detective Sanchez I'm
Incredibly sorry to ask you this...

do you mind helping Captain Raydor?

Sure.

Good dog, Frank.

That may be the last wonderful
loving thing he ever does.

All my hopes for him
were bound up with that ring.

Now, what do we do?

Look, urn, after we clear things up
with Jerry tomorrow...

I'll get you
what that ring is really worth.

I promise.

- I don't think I can do this.
BRENDA: You're perfectly safe.

As soon as the people
who robbed your store show up...

we'll arrest everyone.
And I'll be with you the whole time.

Victor Markoff is never gonna believe
I would date you.

- Why not?
- He's a much better appraiser than I am.

And he's never gonna believe
that one of me Is worth any of you.

You underestimate yourself.

Right now, I can't think of anyone else
on Earth I'd rather be with than you.

Now, come on. Go on.

- Jerry and no Milo.
- Milo doesn't close deals, I do.

I see you've been
spending your money, huh?

- And your name, dear?
- It's Brenda.

What a lovely gallery you have,
the pieces are amazing.

So you brought a date,
but did you bring the double eagles?

- Vu p, I brought them.
- May I see them?

Well, we need to discuss the price first.

The price has been set at $8 million.

This was agreed upon and Is non-negotiable.

Any other previously discussed issues
you'd like to raise?

Oh.

How wonderful to see you again.

Jerry says he has the coins.

I don't know what he's trying to pull,
they're here.

- Those are the double eagles.
- Thank you, Jerry.

So let me properly introduce myself.

I'm Deputy Chief Brenda Leigh Johnson,
L.A.P.D. and you're all under arrest.

POLICEMAN: Don't move. Down on
the ground. Hands where I can see them.

Do it now.

Not you, Jerry.
You're gonna meet my husband.

- Husband?
- Yes.

Chief, we got Clyde,
but there's no sign of Bonnie.

Read him his rights
and see if he'll talk to us.

GABRIEL:
Chief, meet Paul Woods.

He was a chemistry teacher
at West Calvin High School...

.before being laid off three years ago,
been unemployed ever since.

That's a big hole in your resume, sir.

- Let's talk about where that time has gone.
- Sure.

But let's do it with a lawyer over lunch.

Seriously, I'm hypoglycemic
and I need to eat soon.

BREN DA:
Okay.

POPE:
He had the double eagle coins?

That's five years right there.

Plus, impersonating an officer.

BRENDA: Milo died of a heart attack
because Clyde was robbing his store

I want him for murder.

We got her. We got Bonnie.
Her name's Audrey Wrangle.

- And they're bringing her right up.
- The print came out?

We had to match it up with
.some partials we found.

Atypical fingerprint has 10 points,
but, now this is very Interesting...

It worked.

All right, uh, lieutenant, Liz,
Is this the woman from Goldibucks?

- Urn, I thought she had more of a glow.
FLYNN: Do you have one...

where we could see her hands?
LIZ: Oh, for God's sake.

PROVENZA: Oh, yeah.
- No doubt in my mind, chief.

- It's definitely the same young woman.
- Thank you.

- Is she a cop?
- She was a lawyer...

which is why she'd have a print
on file...

.and why she was also able to write up
such a realistic warrant.

She lost her job in real estate in 2008.

- She's asked for an attorney.
- Neither one of them is talking.

Yeah, but they don't know that.

Detective Gabriel?

Lieutenant Flynn,
Paul said he was very hungry.

- Would you like us to take his lunch order?
- That's a great idea.

Keep him busy for five minutes.

It'll take that long
to go through our specials.

- Thank you.
- Liz, uh, you need to come out.

You don't want Frank to see this.

Okay. I'm obviously
missing something here.

How is taking a lunch order
going to get her to talk?

Quiet. You'll spoil everything.

BREN DA Hello, there.

I know you've asked for a lawyer,
which was very smart.

So I can't question you,
but, urn, while we're waiting...

I'd love for you to have a seat
so I could show you something.

Oh, I'm sorry, it's Ms. Wrangle,
not Mrs. Woods.

I'm so sorry. I just assumed that you
two were married. That'll make this easier.

PROVENZA:
Write all this down. I'm not repeating It.

Do you guys have
a chef in the building?

What do you think, we order takeout?
We're the police.

And you can handle detail orders?
I got major gluten allergies.

Yeah, well, you just make sure everything
on our menu list ends up on this notepad.

RAYDOR:
Paul is talking to us, Audrey...

.and because you're not married
he can testify against you.

He wouldn't do that.

Now, I think we'll start...

- ...with a list of our wheat-free alternatives.
- Go for it.

- First, we have a quinoa pasta.
- Mm.

PROVENZA:
That can go with several sauces.

BRENDA:
I can't ask you this, so ask yourself...

.how were we able to find you so quickly
after arresting Mr. Woods?

And we have vegetarian lasagna...

a very nice chicken parmesan.

You have vegetarian lasagna and
chicken parmesan that Is gluten free?

He's saying the murder was all your fault.

- Murder?
BRENDA: Don't say anything.

We're not letting you get away
because we broke the Miranda warning.

Yeah, we like to get convictions for people
who beat elderly storeowners to death.

Okay, wait, wait, wait.

- We did not beat anyone.
- Stop talking, Audrey.

- You've asked for a lawyer.
- Then I revoke until he gets here...

because we did not beat that man up.

Okay, yes, we came in and we flashed .our badges.
Yes, okay, we did that.

But that old guy, he just keeled over.

Okay. We didn't beat him.
We tried to give him CPR, but he just died.

There was no murder. It was a heart attack.

A heart attack that happened
during the commission of a felony.

As an attorney you're familiar
with the felony murder rule, yes?

Urn...

What is that again?

- Hello again.
FLYNN: You.

We could've had
something special and now...

- So is that his confession?
- No, he wouldn't talk.

This is what's for lunch.

BRENDA:
I can't believe I had to beg Pope...

to investigate this murder with you.

It's hard being close to people you work with.
It's always hard.

You gotta be patient with people
who drive you crazy.

I find that good relationships
sometimes depend...

on what you're willing to overlook.

Chief, this is the last of the forged art
we found at the Markoff gallery.

Okay, good.

Let's just move it out of the way so
that Frank can't get to it, please.

- And, uh, these, chief? I
- The FBI will take those.

- What'd you do with Jerry Cooper?
- I believe you mean John Hugh Smith.

I've never met anyone excited
to Join the witness protection program.

- Can I see the gold coins?
- Oh, I'm sorry, miss.

That's government property.

So now all government property
is suddenly off limits to me?

Well, not all.

Liz, the department owes you a
thank you for all you've done.

You're welcome, Andy.

Oh, and if you ever wanna just vent,
we all get together every couple of months.

- Who's we?
- Louie's other wives.

We think of you as the fifth.

I should leave if I'm gonna make
this vet appointment for Frank..

Were you able to find
the right amount of money for the ring?

I'm buying it from you...

since I'm the only one
that it meant anything to.

Oh, stop. It means something to me.

It reminds me of that very special day...

when we officially went from two people
who loved each other to husband and wife.

And when I look at it, I
also see our children...

and our grand kids...

and the life we might've had.

But you'll still take the check.

Yes.

- Oh.
- I.J h...

I think that'll take care of Frank's
medical bills for a while.

Oh, and, urn, here...

I own it now.

So...

keep it safe.

Oh, Louie.

You know, after we get Frank home I
couldn't drive you to McClure's...

.and if you buy me dinner, I'll sit at the
bar and watch you drink for a few hours.

PROVENZA:
Well, if you need the company.
