Isn't she pretty?
My first car.
Uh...my car
was your first car.
I mean, if we're including cars
I've stolen,
this is probably,
like, my fifth.
What?
Joke.
The seized car auction was
definitely the way to go.
I got such a good deal.
You are gonna take it
to the mechanic, though, right?
You never know what these cars
have been through.
Yeah. Tim set me up
with this guy.
What? He did?
Yeah.
Oh, you have a heart
after all.
Oh, relax, okay?
It was purely self-interest.
You would be a total drag
to ride with
if she died in a fireball
of mangled metal on the 405.

Why exactly do they call it
"Day in the Hole"?
Because any day on the job,
there are "holes" in staffing...
but typically,
it's only for a day,
and it's always within
the county of Los Angeles.
But you pissed off
your union president so badly,
he catapulted you
all the way to the border.
What can I say?
I'm a bit
of an overachiever.
But we are making
a vacation out of it
with Ellroy and Nell,
because we're "roll with it"
kind of people.
Damn right we are.

[ Chuckling ] Hey.
Welcome to
this little oasis.
Uh, where,
I might add, uh...
[ Chuckles ]
...it seems like no one
is minding the store.
Oh, I think they get like
three visitors a year.
So check-in's
on the honor system,
and housekeeping will be by
in the morning to tidy up.
Oh, that's a shame.
I was really looking forward
to ringing
that little bell.
Oh, yay, you're here!
Hi!
Hi!
So good to see you again!
Hello.
Hello.
Well, you said
this place was quaint,
but I think it feels more
in the "abandoned" category.
And haunted.
Kidding.
Or am I?
Do not tease me
like that.
Nell would kill to stay
in a haunted motel.
I mean, my listeners
would love it.
I've got
that murder podcast.
What? How do I
not know about that?
I've mentioned it, like,
a bunch of times.
Sorry.
You really should listen.
It's super fun.
Ellroy does
all the forensic analysis.
Yeah.
Yeah, absolutely.
I bet... Which...
Uh, which ones are we?
Oh, you're
in the corner suite...
"suite" is...
Uh, I don't know.
Y-You'll see.
Oh.
Well, this isn't
too bad.
It's surprisingly clean.
I wouldn't be
too sure about that.
You want me to grab
the black light
from my trunk...
check for fluids?
Uh, no. We're good.
We're good. We're...
Thank you, yeah.
[ Vehicle approaching ]

Yes. John.
And, uh, this is Bailey.
That's Nell.
Hey.
And over there
is Ellroy.
Nice to meet you all.
I'm Gabrielle.
Uh, I know you've had
a long ride,
but I was told you were
gonna be working with me
while my boss
is on vacation.
Uh, great.
Let me just change my clothes,
and, uh,
we can hit the road.
You can give me
the lay of the land.
Um... [ Chuckles ]...
this motel wouldn't happen
to be haunted, would it?
Uh...no, ma'am.
That's too bad.
Any murders take place here?
Big or small.
Ooh!
How about, like,
just a hostage situation?
Really giving me
hostage vibes.
Uh, no.
How about aliens?
No.
Tamara:
I don't understand.
Somebody packed the car
with half a million in heroin,
and then lost it?
How does that happen?
You don't just forget
where you parked your drug car.
You might if you're high
on the drugs
that you're transporting.
Okay, here we go.
Previous owner of your car
is Jake Butler.

So, how long
have you been on the job?
Two months.
I joined after getting
my degree in criminology
from UC Riverside.
So far, I haven't really had
a chance to use
what I've learned.
Quiet town?
[ Chuckles ]
Imagine the vacuum of space,
and then make it 10% quieter.
You know,
I looked you up.
You've been involved
in some really cool cases.
"Cool" is not the term
I would use.
How would you
describe them?
Intense.
[ Birds chirping ]
[ Engine shuts off ]
I thought you were
taking me to the police station.
Oh, this is
the station...
offices and holding cells
are in back.
Oh, is it
a diner/police station?
Or is it
a police station/diner?
Depends on whether
you're here to file a report
or get some pie.

Hey, Gabby.
Is this him?
Yes, John Nolan.
I'm Martina Sanchez.
Gabby says you're
a big-deal LA cop.
She's really hoping
you'll teach her some things.
Ay. Martina.
What?
We both know you're too shy
to ask him yourself.
Well, I'm happy to impart
any knowledge I can.
Thank you.
Anything going on?
Mrs. Gonzales
stopped by again.
Her cactus is growing weird.
Weird, you say?
Wrong angle.
We'll get right on that.
Please do.

Ooh, this is exciting.

twice a week here.

We'll be right there.
Trouble?
Bar fight.
Well, big cities
and small towns...
you can always count on someone
to be drunk by 9:00 a.m.
Your first hour on the job,
and you're already getting
all the exciting stuff.
You must be good luck.
Or bad.
Maybe you were separated

He's a year older than me.
And he was born in Florida.
Plus, ah, he really doesn't
look that much like me.
Mm. The hell he doesn't.
Not the brightest
bulb, though.
Oh. Oh, my God.
[ Laughs ]
It's... It's Tim...
and Dim.
[ Laughter ]
Okay. Come on.
Let's get this over with.
That's good.
[ Chuckling ]
Yo, this is blowing my mind!
It's like we're looking in
a fun-house mirror of handsome.
Sit down, Dim... Jake.
You need to focus.
Okay.
Have we met before?
No.
That, I'd remember.
Oh, you would.
We found your car.
Dude, you found it?
[ Chuckling ] Yo, thank you,
thank you, man.
I mean, some asshat
stole it from me last week.
Your car wasn't stolen...
it was towed.
You parked in front
of a hydrant.
Oops.
My bad.
So, where's the car now?
In evidence.
We found four kilos of black tar
heroin inside of it.
What? Yo, that's crazy.
I mean [chuckles]
it ain't mine.
Your fingerprints are
all over the bags.
Which means this is decision
time for you, Jake.
You help us,
we help you.
Otherwise, it's
back to prison.
Bruh, I thought that
we had a bond.
Where are the drugs from?
[ Sighs ]
Mexico.
I was hired to drive them
across the border,
but, you know, I hit up
my girl's place when I got back
in town... you know
what I'm saying?
Anyway, I went back out,
the car wasn't there.
I've been freaking out
ever since.
Alright. Who are you supposed
to deliver the drugs to?
Roy Hajek.
Got the job through
a slinger we both know.
Have you ever met Hajek
or any of his crew?
No. Why?
You know,
they've never met.
So Tim could
go undercover as Dim,
and... and... and we would
arrest a major trafficker.
Forget it.
What?
Come on, you totally pulled
off playing the hitman.
I agree.
It's too good of
an opportunity to pass up.
You just want to see me
pretend to be Dim.
Duh.
Fine.
I'll do it.
Yes! Oh, okay, okay.
So, uh, we got
to dirty you up, and then...
and then we have to
slick back your hair, 'cause,
you know, that guy was,
like, kind of greasy.
You are enjoying this
way too much.
Ooh! And tattoos...
we got to get tattoos.
When we get to the bar,
don't park right out front.
Oh, but it's just
the Benedict brothers.
They fight
every other day.
Doesn't matter.
Always do things the right way.
That way,
when the danger is real,
the moves are automatic.

No.

You invited me.
I absolutely did not.
Well, it was
certainly implied.
I mean, why do you think
I got this Airstream, dude?
It's so we didn't have

I didn't even know you
owned an Airstream.

Morning.
Hey, I was just about
to call you.
I ran our suspect's prints
the minute the system
came online.
He's seriously a bad guy.
Blair Darvill.
Great name.
I see why you'd want to
keep it secret, though.
Number one on the ATF's
most wanted list.
Weapons trafficking,
attempted murder.
They're gonna be
pretty psyched when I call
and tell them you're here.
Yeah.
Here's the thing.
When I didn't
show up last night,
my guys started
looking for me.
You should really let me go
before they get here.
Nice try.
Ellroy: Hey, John, could
you come out here,
uh, for a minute?
Too late.
Keep an eye on him.
Mnh.
Man: LAPD.
You're a long way
from home.
How can I help you?
Let's just say
we can help each other.
You have a friend
of mine in custody.
I am here
to pay his bail.
Oh, score.Ellroy.
Sorry.
That's not how bail works.
He has to go in front
of a judge first.
But you already know that.
I do.
But sometimes cops play hard
to get before they take a bribe.
Right. Well, I don't
take bribes.
Your friend's going away
for a long time.
And I'd bet that much money
that there's
an outstanding warrant
or two for your arrest,
so why don't you
show me some ID?
Are you sure you really want to
play it like that?
