1
00:00:07,709 --> 00:00:10,594
Oh, honey! Uh, you're home.
2
00:00:10,629 --> 00:00:13,866
I called your cell. Where... where were you?
3
00:00:13,901 --> 00:00:15,721
Uh, I sort of ate.
4
00:00:15,756 --> 00:00:17,601
Uh, I can pull out the menus if you want.
5
00:00:17,636 --> 00:00:20,952
No, thanks. I lost my appetite... About an hour ago.
6
00:00:20,987 --> 00:00:24,268
It was around the time your friend Captain Raydor
7
00:00:24,303 --> 00:00:26,151
showed up at my office.
8
00:00:26,646 --> 00:00:27,286
Oh?
9
00:00:27,763 --> 00:00:29,551
Apparently my wife
10
00:00:29,586 --> 00:00:31,786
is being vetted for chief of police.
11
00:00:32,252 --> 00:00:34,053
And I didn't even know she was in the running.
12
00:00:34,088 --> 00:00:36,141
I'm... I'm not. Look. See?
13
00:00:36,176 --> 00:00:38,738
I haven't turned in my application.
14
00:00:39,551 --> 00:00:41,391
How long have you known about this?
15
00:00:41,426 --> 00:00:43,232
- Only about a week.
- A week?
16
00:00:43,266 --> 00:00:45,904
A w... do you have any idea how humiliating it is
17
00:00:45,938 --> 00:00:48,893
being blindsided with questions about my DUIs
18
00:00:48,928 --> 00:00:51,813
and how many AA meetings I attend each week?
19
00:00:51,848 --> 00:00:53,845
I had no idea she was gonna talk to you about this.
20
00:00:53,880 --> 00:00:56,562
Brenda, this is one of the most powerful positions in the city.
21
00:00:56,597 --> 00:00:59,245
People are gonna make damn sure your husband isn't a liability.
22
00:00:59,280 --> 00:01:00,709
Well, the only reason Captain Raydor
23
00:01:00,744 --> 00:01:02,806
Is pushing me for this is because I'm a woman
24
00:01:02,841 --> 00:01:04,452
and to make trouble between me and Pope.
25
00:01:04,486 --> 00:01:07,126
And then besides, you were up for a promotion last year,
26
00:01:07,161 --> 00:01:08,389
and you never said a word about it.
27
00:01:08,424 --> 00:01:09,583
I never considered it seriously.
28
00:01:09,618 --> 00:01:12,367
Well, I'm not considering this seriously, either.
29
00:01:12,402 --> 00:01:13,763
- Really?
- Really.
30
00:01:20,941 --> 00:01:22,203
Why not?
31
00:01:22,204 --> 00:01:24,612
I mean, getting some emotional distance from your cases
32
00:01:24,647 --> 00:01:25,834
would be good for you.
33
00:01:25,869 --> 00:01:27,151
And it would be a hell of a lot safer.
34
00:01:27,186 --> 00:01:29,198
This job comes with bodyguards.
35
00:01:29,783 --> 00:01:31,119
What about your career?
36
00:01:31,154 --> 00:01:33,350
- Chief is a five-year commitment.
- Oh, don't make this about me.
37
00:01:33,385 --> 00:01:35,501
- You couldn't take another job outside of Los Angeles...
- I am not holding you back.
38
00:01:35,536 --> 00:01:36,261
For the next five years.
39
00:01:36,296 --> 00:01:38,749
Then there'd be all those events and dinners I'd have to go to.
40
00:01:38,784 --> 00:01:40,878
Yeah, as opposed to all the crime scenes you go to now.
41
00:01:40,913 --> 00:01:42,143
And what about Pope?
42
00:01:42,178 --> 00:01:44,738
He's had his heart set on this for years.
43
00:01:44,773 --> 00:01:47,263
What about Pope? Who cares about Pope?!
44
00:01:47,298 --> 00:01:50,464
Who would... who... who would take over major crimes?
45
00:01:51,036 --> 00:01:53,393
Oh. Okay. Now we're getting to it.
46
00:01:53,428 --> 00:01:55,952
For starters, you got three lieutenants in your squad.
47
00:01:55,987 --> 00:01:56,873
Promote one of them.
48
00:01:56,908 --> 00:01:58,935
Oh, right. Like it's that easy.
49
00:01:58,970 --> 00:01:59,940
Who would I choose?
50
00:01:59,975 --> 00:02:01,447
And there's civil-service issues,
51
00:02:01,482 --> 00:02:03,272
and... and it would require a whole lot...
52
00:02:03,307 --> 00:02:04,746
Look, do not answer that phone.
53
00:02:04,780 --> 00:02:06,848
Of bureaucratic rigmarole that you don't even... damn it.
54
00:02:06,883 --> 00:02:08,941
Yes, Detective. Hello. What is it?
55
00:02:09,401 --> 00:02:10,682
Evening, chief.
56
00:02:10,717 --> 00:02:13,005
Got rolled out to cover for Hollywood tonight.
57
00:02:13,040 --> 00:02:15,012
Apparently they're all at a retirement party.
58
00:02:15,047 --> 00:02:16,984
Brenda, we have to finish this discussion.
59
00:02:17,019 --> 00:02:19,711
I am serious. This is important.
60
00:02:19,746 --> 00:02:22,369
Anyway, it's a probable suicide,
61
00:02:22,404 --> 00:02:24,462
although we still have to establish a time of death.
62
00:02:24,496 --> 00:02:25,662
We are talking about a job
63
00:02:25,697 --> 00:02:26,963
I don't even want!
64
00:02:26,997 --> 00:02:27,715
W- why?
65
00:02:27,750 --> 00:02:30,290
This... this could be an amazing opportunity for you.
66
00:02:30,325 --> 00:02:32,831
- That's what I'm saying.
- Chief, are you there?
67
00:02:32,865 --> 00:02:35,175
Shh! They know nothing about this chief business, okay?
68
00:02:35,210 --> 00:02:36,624
Just one second. W...
69
00:02:36,659 --> 00:02:38,800
Yes, Detective. Just start knocking on doors.
70
00:02:38,835 --> 00:02:42,501
And let's confirm suicide before we jump
71
00:02:42,536 --> 00:02:43,665
to any conclusions, okay?
72
00:02:43,700 --> 00:02:45,233
Uh, I will be there in just...
73
00:02:45,268 --> 00:02:47,116
Provenza can handle a suicide.
74
00:02:47,151 --> 00:02:48,964
This is an important conversation.
75
00:02:48,998 --> 00:02:51,163
- They're fighting.
- We are not fighting.
76
00:02:51,164 --> 00:02:53,301
- Now they think we're fighting.
- We are fighting!
77
00:02:54,248 --> 00:02:55,064
Evening, chief.
78
00:02:55,099 --> 00:02:56,480
Delegate and hang up the phone.
79
00:02:56,515 --> 00:02:59,305
Chief, r-really, uh, we're almost done here.
80
00:02:59,339 --> 00:03:01,824
There's no need for you to ruin your evening.
81
00:03:01,859 --> 00:03:04,309
Apparently the victim's boyfriend called it in.
82
00:03:04,343 --> 00:03:05,412
And he just so happens to live
83
00:03:05,447 --> 00:03:07,610
in the second floor of that apartment building.
84
00:03:07,645 --> 00:03:09,474
- Just bring him down, huh?
- What?
85
00:03:09,509 --> 00:03:11,223
What is that, lieutenant? I can't hear you.
86
00:03:11,258 --> 00:03:13,199
Uh, uh, nothing. Nothing, chief.
87
00:03:13,234 --> 00:03:15,106
Uh, listen, I have this, okay?
88
00:03:15,141 --> 00:03:17,774
- So why don't you just, uh...
- Hang up.
89
00:03:17,809 --> 00:03:18,316
- Shh...
- You know...
90
00:03:18,351 --> 00:03:18,770
Hang up.
91
00:03:18,805 --> 00:03:20,924
- Do whatever you're doing.
Hang up...
92
00:03:21,438 --> 00:03:25,795
Um, if it's... if it's anything serious,
93
00:03:25,830 --> 00:03:28,373
- I'll... I- I-I'll call you. Cross my heart.
- No, no, no, no. Wait, wait, wait, wait.
94
00:03:28,408 --> 00:03:29,387
Hang up.
95
00:03:29,422 --> 00:03:31,496
Don't hang up.
96
00:03:31,531 --> 00:03:33,965
- He hung up.
- Good.
97
00:03:42,638 --> 00:03:44,107
I'm just gonna be a few minutes.
98
00:03:44,108 --> 00:03:45,454
Keep the doors locked.
99
00:03:45,837 --> 00:03:46,610
You want anything?
100
00:03:46,644 --> 00:03:50,313
No, I'm good, but it's a little cold.
101
00:03:53,062 --> 00:03:54,050
There you go.
102
00:03:56,875 --> 00:03:59,219
Gina Decker, age 27.
103
00:03:59,253 --> 00:04:00,671
- Is this her car?
- Uh, no.
104
00:04:00,706 --> 00:04:02,718
The car's registered to a Wayne West.
105
00:04:02,753 --> 00:04:04,134
Her boyfriend's name is Wayne.
106
00:04:04,169 --> 00:04:06,196
Yeah, Flynn's bringing him down now.
107
00:04:06,231 --> 00:04:08,224
I'm sorry I'm late. I was at the movies.
108
00:04:08,258 --> 00:04:10,300
Ah. Yeah? Got a hot date or something?
109
00:04:10,335 --> 00:04:10,965
Uh, no, sir.
110
00:04:11,000 --> 00:04:12,956
Uh, you know, looking at the blood,
111
00:04:12,991 --> 00:04:15,537
there's an absence of high-velocity misting
112
00:04:15,572 --> 00:04:18,243
that's inconsistent with a self-inflicted gunshot wound.
113
00:04:18,278 --> 00:04:19,334
Shorter words, Tao.
114
00:04:19,369 --> 00:04:21,093
If she held a gun to her head and pulled the trigger,
115
00:04:21,128 --> 00:04:22,846
there would be blowback on her left hand.
116
00:04:22,881 --> 00:04:26,072
- Buzz, you getting this? Huh? Huh?
- Yes, sir.
117
00:04:27,812 --> 00:04:29,616
Wait. Wait. So you're saying you think
118
00:04:29,651 --> 00:04:31,385
the driver shot her and left the gun?
119
00:04:31,420 --> 00:04:34,861
Look at the spatter here, huh? Nobody was sitting here.
120
00:04:34,896 --> 00:04:37,881
Excuse me, sir. Step back.
121
00:04:37,915 --> 00:04:42,118
Maybe the driver got out of the car
122
00:04:42,152 --> 00:04:46,420
and then shot her through the open window.
123
00:04:46,455 --> 00:04:48,055
Well, where is this boyfriend, huh?
124
00:04:48,089 --> 00:04:50,123
Wayne West, meet my pals.
125
00:04:50,158 --> 00:04:52,258
Ah, thank you for joining us, Mr. West.
126
00:04:52,293 --> 00:04:54,694
You look damp. Do you need a towel?
127
00:04:54,728 --> 00:04:56,428
Uh, no, man. No.
128
00:04:56,463 --> 00:04:58,129
Is this your car?
129
00:04:59,099 --> 00:04:59,632
Yeah, it is.
130
00:04:59,666 --> 00:05:02,413
Yeah, you discovered your girlfriend's body in it
131
00:05:02,448 --> 00:05:04,275
earlier this evening?
132
00:05:04,310 --> 00:05:05,085
I did. Right.
133
00:05:05,120 --> 00:05:06,967
And then you called the police.
134
00:05:07,002 --> 00:05:09,380
Then you thought you would freshen up a bit,
135
00:05:09,415 --> 00:05:12,143
maybe take a shower before we got here.
136
00:05:12,178 --> 00:05:14,345
Was that a mistake?
137
00:05:15,222 --> 00:05:16,717
Mr. West, uh,
138
00:05:16,752 --> 00:05:18,750
we need you to come downtown, make a statement.
139
00:05:18,785 --> 00:05:20,875
Really? Why? You know, I can make a statement right here.
140
00:05:20,910 --> 00:05:23,320
Um, uh, I was out with a friend.
141
00:05:23,354 --> 00:05:26,238
I came home. I found Gina dead in my car.
142
00:05:26,273 --> 00:05:28,257
And that's it.
143
00:05:28,291 --> 00:05:29,509
See, we hate to leave
144
00:05:29,544 --> 00:05:32,294
the victim's loved ones behind at the scene,
145
00:05:32,328 --> 00:05:34,173
especially when they're as upset as you are.
146
00:05:34,208 --> 00:05:36,153
- Right.
- Or are you just a little on edge?
147
00:05:36,188 --> 00:05:38,099
- Or on something.
- Whoa, please, guys.
148
00:05:38,134 --> 00:05:39,427
You... you told me she killed herself.
149
00:05:39,462 --> 00:05:41,069
Why are you acting like I had something to do with it?
150
00:05:41,104 --> 00:05:43,537
Oh, the thought never crossed my mind.
151
00:05:43,572 --> 00:05:45,636
Although she is parked in front of your apartment.
152
00:05:45,671 --> 00:05:46,774
She lives here, man!
153
00:05:46,808 --> 00:05:48,409
In the passenger seat of your car.
154
00:05:48,443 --> 00:05:49,743
That's her seat.
155
00:05:49,778 --> 00:05:52,778
Julio, I got to go to the bathroom.
156
00:06:00,135 --> 00:06:01,816
Lieutenants.
157
00:06:01,850 --> 00:06:02,950
Hey!
158
00:06:04,451 --> 00:06:06,317
Hey! I got him, I got him.
159
00:06:06,352 --> 00:06:09,720
Detective.
160
00:06:10,150 --> 00:06:12,381
Are you telling me that you have
161
00:06:12,416 --> 00:06:14,723
been holding on to this kid for a week?
162
00:06:14,758 --> 00:06:16,591
- Yes, sir.
- Hey! Hey!
163
00:06:16,625 --> 00:06:19,612
Keep it down! People are trying to sleep around here!
164
00:06:19,647 --> 00:06:20,994
Get back here!
165
00:06:21,029 --> 00:06:23,230
Come on!
166
00:06:23,264 --> 00:06:24,230
Oh! Aah!
167
00:06:24,265 --> 00:06:25,833
I thought I made it clear
168
00:06:25,868 --> 00:06:27,543
that you were to turn Ruben over
169
00:06:27,578 --> 00:06:29,770
to the department of children's services.
170
00:06:29,804 --> 00:06:32,405
I got approved for emergency foster care instead.
171
00:06:32,439 --> 00:06:34,246
When you were supposed to be searching
172
00:06:34,281 --> 00:06:35,637
for his mother in Mexico.
173
00:06:35,672 --> 00:06:37,565
Detective, this boy is intimately involved
174
00:06:37,600 --> 00:06:39,423
in a case that is officially still open.
175
00:06:39,458 --> 00:06:42,856
And we are responsible for his father's death.
176
00:06:42,891 --> 00:06:45,188
The FBI shot Ruben's father, not us.
177
00:06:45,223 --> 00:06:47,557
I know that your intentions are good, Julio,
178
00:06:47,591 --> 00:06:49,402
and... and... and... and I'm not unsympathetic
179
00:06:49,437 --> 00:06:50,449
to Ruben's situation,
180
00:06:50,484 --> 00:06:52,461
but this is not the proper environment for a child.
181
00:06:52,496 --> 00:06:53,996
Worked out okay for your niece.
182
00:06:54,030 --> 00:06:55,897
Hey, watch it.
183
00:06:56,284 --> 00:06:58,596
It is 2:00 in the morning, Detective.
184
00:06:58,631 --> 00:07:01,258
I hardly think that the scene of a murder or a suicide
185
00:07:01,293 --> 00:07:02,986
is any place for a child
186
00:07:03,021 --> 00:07:04,974
who just attended his father's funeral.
187
00:07:05,009 --> 00:07:06,473
We were at the movies when the call came in.
188
00:07:06,507 --> 00:07:08,578
I had no time to drop him at my mom's.
189
00:07:08,613 --> 00:07:11,323
I don't think you understand what you're getting into, Julio.
190
00:07:11,358 --> 00:07:13,380
That boy deserves more attention than you can...
191
00:07:13,414 --> 00:07:15,214
Sir, you think he's better off in the system
192
00:07:15,249 --> 00:07:17,632
instead of with me?
193
00:07:17,667 --> 00:07:19,384
My whole family is helping out, chief.
194
00:07:19,418 --> 00:07:20,766
I worry about what might happen
195
00:07:20,801 --> 00:07:22,080
if Ruben grows attached to you
196
00:07:22,115 --> 00:07:24,325
and then you are unable to find his mother.
197
00:07:24,360 --> 00:07:25,722
- He can end up back in the system.
- I will find her.
198
00:07:25,756 --> 00:07:27,991
I certainly hope so.
199
00:07:30,095 --> 00:07:32,228
Excuse me.
200
00:07:34,030 --> 00:07:37,029
As the gun moves closer to the head,
201
00:07:37,064 --> 00:07:39,940
say, between 6 to 18 inches,
202
00:07:39,975 --> 00:07:41,670
there's a slight gunpowder stippling
203
00:07:41,705 --> 00:07:43,336
at the point of entry.
204
00:07:43,371 --> 00:07:45,856
When that stippling is more concentrated,
205
00:07:45,891 --> 00:07:47,671
as in the case of the deceased,
206
00:07:47,706 --> 00:07:51,009
the gun was fired 1 to 6 inches from the skull,
207
00:07:51,043 --> 00:07:53,876
which is consistent with a self-inflicted gunshot wound.
208
00:07:53,910 --> 00:07:54,774
Chief, do you believe this?
209
00:07:54,809 --> 00:07:57,880
The good doctor wants to call our victim's death a suicide.
210
00:07:57,914 --> 00:07:59,521
And why shouldn't I, lieutenant?
211
00:07:59,556 --> 00:08:01,128
The body had no signs of a struggle,
212
00:08:01,163 --> 00:08:02,919
and she clearly didn't duck.
213
00:08:02,954 --> 00:08:04,629
Chief, the boyfriend, Wayne West,
214
00:08:04,664 --> 00:08:06,270
has a healthy criminal record
215
00:08:06,305 --> 00:08:07,904
that consists of a history of abuse.
216
00:08:07,939 --> 00:08:09,474
- and he tried to flee the crime scene.
- Come on, Detective.
217
00:08:09,509 --> 00:08:11,428
Ditching this baggie of meth along the way.
218
00:08:11,462 --> 00:08:13,243
Oh, lieutenant, what happened to your head?
219
00:08:13,278 --> 00:08:14,350
Oh, it's nothing, chief.
220
00:08:14,385 --> 00:08:16,703
I just kissed the pavement a bit when I tackled that guy.
221
00:08:16,738 --> 00:08:19,134
Kissed the pavement. Listen to him.
222
00:08:21,471 --> 00:08:24,549
Uh, hey, doc, don't you think it's a little awkward
223
00:08:24,584 --> 00:08:27,475
that she held the gun away from her head?
224
00:08:27,510 --> 00:08:30,458
It's not uncommon for someone to reconsider
225
00:08:30,493 --> 00:08:31,663
at the last moment.
226
00:08:31,698 --> 00:08:34,695
Doctor, would you mind doing a tox screen for meth
227
00:08:34,730 --> 00:08:36,418
before you make your official determination?
228
00:08:36,452 --> 00:08:37,969
You're looking for an overdose?
229
00:08:38,004 --> 00:08:39,451
Because I-I'm pretty certain
230
00:08:39,486 --> 00:08:41,389
it was the hole in her head that killed her.
231
00:08:41,423 --> 00:08:43,177
I'd just like a little more time to figure out
232
00:08:43,212 --> 00:08:45,958
exactly how she got that hole to begin with, that's all.
233
00:08:46,367 --> 00:08:48,547
You... stay.
234
00:08:48,969 --> 00:08:51,328
Chief, Mr. West has been read his rights,
235
00:08:51,362 --> 00:08:53,897
and he's dying to talk to you.
236
00:08:54,776 --> 00:08:56,345
Thank you, commander.
237
00:08:57,765 --> 00:08:59,300
I can't believe she blew her brains out.
238
00:08:59,335 --> 00:09:01,120
Oh, Mr. West, you don't want to look at that.
239
00:09:01,155 --> 00:09:02,302
Right this way.
240
00:09:02,337 --> 00:09:05,705
That's just very upsetting. Detective?
241
00:09:06,035 --> 00:09:06,924
It's a tragedy, man,
242
00:09:06,959 --> 00:09:10,407
b ut I guess Gina was going through some things.
243
00:09:12,197 --> 00:09:15,544
Oh. Shocker. This way.
244
00:09:17,513 --> 00:09:19,246
Just have a seat.
245
00:09:20,943 --> 00:09:21,915
Thank you.
246
00:09:21,949 --> 00:09:25,070
So, uh, Mr. West, you were saying that Gina
247
00:09:25,105 --> 00:09:27,985
was going through a lot recently?
248
00:09:28,020 --> 00:09:31,699
Uh, yeah, yeah, stuff with her kid, you know?
249
00:09:31,734 --> 00:09:35,498
Her asshole ex-husband was suing for permanent custody,
250
00:09:35,533 --> 00:09:37,622
uh, said that Gina wasn't fit to be a mom
251
00:09:37,657 --> 00:09:39,070
'cause she was a-a druggie,
252
00:09:39,105 --> 00:09:42,912
so the judge told her clean up or else.
253
00:09:42,947 --> 00:09:44,339
And did she?
254
00:09:44,374 --> 00:09:45,731
Hell, yeah.
255
00:09:45,766 --> 00:09:48,297
J- just got back from rehab last week.
256
00:09:48,332 --> 00:09:51,224
Mr. West, earlier this evening, you told my detectives
257
00:09:51,259 --> 00:09:54,359
that you were out with a friend during the time of Gina's death.
258
00:09:54,394 --> 00:09:56,726
Is there someone we can talk to that can confirm that?
259
00:09:57,343 --> 00:10:00,681
You... so you're still not buying the whole suicide angle?
260
00:10:01,515 --> 00:10:04,797
We're exploring all possibilities, Mr. West.
261
00:10:04,832 --> 00:10:07,754
Okay, t-t-talk to my buddy Paul.
262
00:10:07,789 --> 00:10:09,122
Um...
263
00:10:09,572 --> 00:10:13,418
Paul... Olson.
264
00:10:13,453 --> 00:10:15,851
I- I was with him until I called you guys.
265
00:10:15,886 --> 00:10:18,331
I can... I can give you his number.
266
00:10:18,365 --> 00:10:21,815
I didn't do this. I- I loved Gina.
267
00:10:21,850 --> 00:10:23,539
Uh-huh.
268
00:10:25,763 --> 00:10:27,276
Uh, y-y-you know what else?
269
00:10:27,311 --> 00:10:28,607
You know, now... now that I think of it,
270
00:10:28,642 --> 00:10:31,871
You... you should talk to, um, her ex-husband, too.
271
00:10:31,906 --> 00:10:33,564
T- the last thing that dude wanted
272
00:10:33,599 --> 00:10:35,115
was for her to get visitation ever again,
273
00:10:35,150 --> 00:10:37,951
let alone custody to their daughter, you know?
274
00:10:37,985 --> 00:10:41,020
I mean, that's what you're looking for, right... motive?
275
00:10:41,054 --> 00:10:43,489
I mean, I didn't have any motive, you know?
276
00:10:43,524 --> 00:10:45,464
And why would I leave her body outside of our place?
277
00:10:45,499 --> 00:10:48,068
I mean, if it were me, I would take it out to the desert,
278
00:10:48,103 --> 00:10:50,121
pour some gravy on it, let the coyotes do the rest.
279
00:10:50,156 --> 00:10:52,363
You know, that way... poof! You know?
280
00:10:52,398 --> 00:10:53,631
Just gone.
281
00:10:53,665 --> 00:10:55,599
Wow. Wow.
282
00:10:55,634 --> 00:10:58,235
Uh, sounds like you got your plan all figured out.
283
00:10:58,270 --> 00:11:00,404
No, I think things through.
284
00:11:00,438 --> 00:11:02,333
I can see that. Yes.
285
00:11:02,368 --> 00:11:04,762
Uh, so, uh, this... t- that cop told me
286
00:11:04,797 --> 00:11:07,156
that I-I had the right to remain silent.
287
00:11:07,191 --> 00:11:08,489
So... so, when does that start?
288
00:11:08,524 --> 00:11:10,236
Oh, any time now.
289
00:11:10,271 --> 00:11:12,124
You also have the right to an attorney,
290
00:11:12,159 --> 00:11:13,480
because you are under arrest.
291
00:11:13,514 --> 00:11:14,948
What? Why?
292
00:11:14,983 --> 00:11:16,850
For possession of methamphetamine.
293
00:11:16,885 --> 00:11:18,018
Sleep tight, Mr. West.
294
00:11:18,052 --> 00:11:19,920
- Detective, would you?
- Oh, come on.
295
00:11:21,555 --> 00:11:23,889
Put your hands behind your back, please.
296
00:11:25,225 --> 00:11:27,359
Ow. Gentle.
297
00:11:27,393 --> 00:11:29,260
Just don't get junkie on me, okay?
298
00:11:29,295 --> 00:11:30,362
Come on, man.
299
00:11:30,396 --> 00:11:31,830
This is a new suit.
300
00:11:43,439 --> 00:11:44,851
- Morning, chief Johnson.
- Oh.
301
00:11:44,886 --> 00:11:46,341
Everything all right?
302
00:11:46,342 --> 00:11:48,093
Just missing the old building.
303
00:11:48,128 --> 00:11:50,209
Yeah, parking three blocks away
304
00:11:50,244 --> 00:11:52,291
does take some getting used to.
305
00:11:52,326 --> 00:11:54,393
Oh, man.
306
00:11:55,829 --> 00:11:58,345
Pretty exciting about Pope, don't you think?
307
00:11:58,380 --> 00:12:00,862
I mean, he is the closest thing to a lock
308
00:12:00,897 --> 00:12:02,691
for chief of police I can think of.
309
00:12:02,726 --> 00:12:03,665
Oh, I don't know.
310
00:12:03,700 --> 00:12:07,056
The commission has a lot of candidates they're considering.
311
00:12:07,091 --> 00:12:09,744
It's Pope. Trust me.
312
00:12:10,464 --> 00:12:12,376
And you know what that means?
313
00:12:12,410 --> 00:12:14,178
- What?
- Musical chairs.
314
00:12:14,212 --> 00:12:16,025
Everybody changes jobs.
315
00:12:16,060 --> 00:12:20,483
In fact, you could become the new assistant chief,
316
00:12:20,517 --> 00:12:23,886
especially with LAPD's emphasis on diversity.
317
00:12:23,921 --> 00:12:25,655
Pope's number two...
318
00:12:25,689 --> 00:12:28,361
That would be a nice position for you.
319
00:12:28,788 --> 00:12:29,725
Would it?
320
00:12:29,759 --> 00:12:33,294
And should you be promoted...
321
00:12:33,329 --> 00:12:35,464
I would be honored to take over major crimes.
322
00:12:35,498 --> 00:12:37,132
Oh.
323
00:12:37,166 --> 00:12:40,806
That would be... that would be something...
324
00:12:40,841 --> 00:12:42,215
to... to consider.
325
00:12:42,250 --> 00:12:45,540
I had been, um, thinking about who would replace me
326
00:12:45,575 --> 00:12:48,374
if I were to become unavailable.
327
00:12:48,409 --> 00:12:52,004
The more seamless we... we make the transitions, the better.
328
00:12:52,039 --> 00:12:54,582
I mean, who's closer to major crimes than me?
329
00:12:55,452 --> 00:12:57,817
Oh. Excuse me.
330
00:12:57,852 --> 00:13:00,520
Well, thank you, commander, for thinking ahead.
331
00:13:01,562 --> 00:13:03,164
Uh, yes, lieutenant? What is it?
332
00:13:03,199 --> 00:13:05,756
Yeah, chief. I got an address on the victim's ex-husband.
333
00:13:05,791 --> 00:13:07,460
I can send Gabriel down if you want.
334
00:13:07,495 --> 00:13:10,792
Oh, yes, tell the Detective I'll be right...
335
00:13:10,826 --> 00:13:13,421
For starters, you got three lieutenants in your squad.
336
00:13:13,456 --> 00:13:14,461
Promote one of them.
337
00:13:17,165 --> 00:13:18,070
Actually, no.
338
00:13:18,105 --> 00:13:21,300
Lieutenant, I'd like you to join me for this notification.
339
00:13:21,334 --> 00:13:23,134
I'll meet you at your car, okay?
340
00:13:23,169 --> 00:13:24,371
Sure.
341
00:13:27,205 --> 00:13:28,998
You know, as assistant chief,
342
00:13:29,033 --> 00:13:32,743
you get your own parking space right here in the building.
343
00:13:32,777 --> 00:13:34,077
Hmm.
344
00:13:34,821 --> 00:13:35,980
Come on, my sweet.
345
00:13:38,202 --> 00:13:41,118
Oh, but I'm gonna take you to the toy store again...
346
00:13:41,153 --> 00:13:42,286
Now?
347
00:13:42,320 --> 00:13:44,655
- Against my better judgment.
- Yes.
348
00:13:44,690 --> 00:13:47,691
Excuse me, ma'am.
349
00:13:47,725 --> 00:13:48,811
I'm lieutenant Flynn.
350
00:13:48,846 --> 00:13:51,293
This is deputy chief Johnson from the LAPD.
351
00:13:51,328 --> 00:13:54,229
Is Darren Tatem here?
352
00:13:57,410 --> 00:13:59,462
In you go, my girl.
353
00:13:59,975 --> 00:14:01,763
My dad's making his music.
354
00:14:01,798 --> 00:14:04,432
When I dance to it, he cracks up.
355
00:14:04,467 --> 00:14:06,234
You must have some great moves.
356
00:14:06,269 --> 00:14:08,002
- What's your name?
- Cody.
357
00:14:08,036 --> 00:14:10,370
May I ask what this is regarding?
358
00:14:10,405 --> 00:14:13,840
Yes. We have some information for Mr. Tatem, ma'am.
359
00:14:13,874 --> 00:14:16,926
Well, his doctor wants him to take it easy,
360
00:14:16,961 --> 00:14:19,978
but I suppose a few minutes wouldn't hurt, huh?
361
00:14:20,012 --> 00:14:22,080
He's just down the hall.
362
00:14:23,929 --> 00:14:24,448
Is he sick?
363
00:14:24,483 --> 00:14:26,650
Um, you could say that. Yes.
364
00:14:30,397 --> 00:14:31,673
Daddy.
365
00:14:32,764 --> 00:14:34,956
Daddy, police officers.
366
00:14:48,107 --> 00:14:49,292
Hello, Mr. Tatem.
367
00:14:49,327 --> 00:14:51,967
I'm deputy chief Brenda Leigh Johnson of the LAPD,
368
00:14:52,001 --> 00:14:53,615
and this is lieutenant Flynn.
369
00:14:53,650 --> 00:14:55,903
We're so sorry to bother you this morning.
370
00:14:55,938 --> 00:14:58,350
We were hoping you could answer a few of our questions.
371
00:14:58,385 --> 00:14:59,630
Sure, I guess.
372
00:14:59,665 --> 00:15:01,105
Anything I can get you?
373
00:15:01,140 --> 00:15:02,546
Uh, I'm fine, mom. Thanks.
374
00:15:02,580 --> 00:15:04,167
Now you go with grandma, okay?
375
00:15:04,202 --> 00:15:05,445
Okay.
376
00:15:05,485 --> 00:15:06,951
Come on, my sweet girl.
377
00:15:06,985 --> 00:15:08,019
Bye, daddy.
378
00:15:08,053 --> 00:15:09,120
Bye.
379
00:15:11,656 --> 00:15:13,222
Lymphoma.
380
00:15:13,257 --> 00:15:16,196
Mom and dad help me fight the good fight.
381
00:15:16,230 --> 00:15:17,569
You play beautifully.
382
00:15:17,604 --> 00:15:18,328
Thank you.
383
00:15:18,363 --> 00:15:20,590
It's part of a score I'm rushing to finish.
384
00:15:20,625 --> 00:15:21,640
You do all your work here?
385
00:15:21,675 --> 00:15:23,468
Yeah. I don't get out much right now.
386
00:15:23,503 --> 00:15:25,261
I imagine these are not the questions
387
00:15:25,296 --> 00:15:27,942
that you came here to ask.
388
00:15:29,119 --> 00:15:31,979
How are things between you and your ex-wife, Mr. Tatem?
389
00:15:32,013 --> 00:15:33,862
Strained. Why?
390
00:15:33,897 --> 00:15:36,689
- When was the last time you saw her?
- I don't know.
391
00:15:36,724 --> 00:15:39,119
About a week ago, when she got out of rehab.
392
00:15:39,154 --> 00:15:40,771
Why? What happened?
393
00:15:40,806 --> 00:15:42,022
Well, I'm afraid we have some bad news
394
00:15:42,056 --> 00:15:44,424
for you and your daughter, Mr. Tatem.
395
00:15:44,458 --> 00:15:46,259
Gina was found dead last night.
396
00:15:49,629 --> 00:15:51,996
And the bad news is?
397
00:15:52,563 --> 00:15:54,156
Sorry.
398
00:15:54,191 --> 00:15:56,033
It's just a lot of water under the bridge.
399
00:15:56,067 --> 00:15:58,042
Did she OD?
400
00:15:58,077 --> 00:16:00,017
Yeah. On lead.
401
00:16:06,509 --> 00:16:09,078
Your ex-wife died of a gunshot wound to the head.
402
00:16:09,113 --> 00:16:09,908
She shot herself?
403
00:16:09,943 --> 00:16:13,146
That's unclear a- at this point.
404
00:16:13,180 --> 00:16:15,639
But, um, to your knowledge, did your ex-wife, Gina,
405
00:16:15,674 --> 00:16:19,585
own a gun like this one, perhaps?
406
00:16:21,321 --> 00:16:24,524
Um, no, not... not that I ever knew of.
407
00:16:29,064 --> 00:16:30,050
Sir?
408
00:16:30,751 --> 00:16:33,397
If... if you're here wondering whether I shot her,
409
00:16:33,431 --> 00:16:34,002
the answer is no.
410
00:16:34,037 --> 00:16:36,887
Like I said, I-I don't get out much lately.
411
00:16:38,676 --> 00:16:40,603
Gina's boyfriend, Mr. West,
412
00:16:40,637 --> 00:16:42,637
told us that there were some custody issues
413
00:16:42,672 --> 00:16:44,955
that you and your ex-wife were dealing with.
414
00:16:44,990 --> 00:16:47,239
I just wanted her to get clean, that's all.
415
00:16:47,274 --> 00:16:50,209
Now, I had the courts force her into rehab
416
00:16:50,243 --> 00:16:53,292
in order to give Cody the best possible chance
417
00:16:53,327 --> 00:16:54,646
at a... at a healthy home.
418
00:16:54,680 --> 00:16:57,930
I mean, I- I even gave Gina $25,000
419
00:16:57,965 --> 00:17:01,352
when she got out just to get her back on her feet again.
420
00:17:01,386 --> 00:17:05,274
I'm just... I'm t-trying to make the best
421
00:17:05,309 --> 00:17:09,162
of a-a truly t-terrible situation, you know?
422
00:17:09,196 --> 00:17:10,764
For Cody.
423
00:17:11,528 --> 00:17:14,967
When did you say you gave your ex-wife this $25,000?
424
00:17:15,001 --> 00:17:17,491
The money is not in her account.
425
00:17:18,483 --> 00:17:22,540
But, uh, if you look here, boyfriend Wayne West...
426
00:17:22,574 --> 00:17:24,776
It says he deposited $25,000
427
00:17:24,810 --> 00:17:27,093
into his bank account four days ago.
428
00:17:27,128 --> 00:17:29,377
Two days after Gina got out of rehab.
429
00:17:30,611 --> 00:17:34,246
Detective Sanchez, where are we on Wayne West's alibi?
430
00:17:35,549 --> 00:17:37,242
Julio.
431
00:17:38,550 --> 00:17:41,068
Detective Sanchez, have you been able to confirm
432
00:17:41,103 --> 00:17:43,586
Mr. West's alibi at the time of the shooting?
433
00:17:43,620 --> 00:17:44,295
Oh, right, chief.
434
00:17:44,330 --> 00:17:47,122
Um, I-I called the number he gave us.
435
00:17:47,157 --> 00:17:50,684
This guy, Paul Olson... I had to leave a message,
436
00:17:50,719 --> 00:17:52,354
and Olson hasn't called me back yet.
437
00:17:52,389 --> 00:17:53,990
Have you tried paying him a visit?
438
00:17:54,025 --> 00:17:55,298
Not yet, chief. No.
439
00:17:55,333 --> 00:17:57,802
Well, is that something that you could possibly do?
440
00:17:59,772 --> 00:18:01,272
Say, now?
441
00:18:09,013 --> 00:18:10,680
Chief. Chief.
442
00:18:10,715 --> 00:18:13,502
Uh, clearly Wayne West stole money from Gina.
443
00:18:13,537 --> 00:18:16,098
But he owned the car she died in. He reported her dead.
444
00:18:16,133 --> 00:18:18,660
He went off and took a shower and cleaned himself up.
445
00:18:18,695 --> 00:18:20,045
And then he fled the scene.
446
00:18:20,080 --> 00:18:21,986
What are we waiting on Sanchez for?
447
00:18:22,021 --> 00:18:23,262
All right, lieutenant.
448
00:18:23,297 --> 00:18:25,293
You want another crack at Mr. West yourself?
449
00:18:29,097 --> 00:18:31,498
Tell us about the money.
450
00:18:32,382 --> 00:18:33,233
Oh, man.
451
00:18:34,754 --> 00:18:37,603
Okay. This looks bad, I know.
452
00:18:37,637 --> 00:18:40,239
But, um, did you talk to my friend?
453
00:18:40,273 --> 00:18:41,874
Because I-I was with him.
454
00:18:41,908 --> 00:18:43,842
Well, your friend is avoiding us.
455
00:18:43,876 --> 00:18:44,843
What?
456
00:18:47,561 --> 00:18:48,946
Okay. Look.
457
00:18:49,781 --> 00:18:51,007
Gina's ex gave me that money.
458
00:18:51,042 --> 00:18:53,983
Really? Because he told us he gave it to her.
459
00:18:54,018 --> 00:18:55,351
No.
460
00:18:57,323 --> 00:18:58,788
No way! No!
461
00:18:59,277 --> 00:19:00,256
Okay, okay.
462
00:19:00,257 --> 00:19:03,377
Uh, he gave me that money 'cause he wanted me to convince Gina
463
00:19:03,412 --> 00:19:05,071
to sign away her parental rights, okay?
464
00:19:05,106 --> 00:19:06,051
That... that... that's the truth.
465
00:19:06,086 --> 00:19:08,597
Did he also want you to put a bullet in her skull?
466
00:19:08,631 --> 00:19:10,404
Man, please. He... he was her ex.
467
00:19:10,439 --> 00:19:12,816
Mr. Tatem is probably dying, Mr. West.
468
00:19:12,851 --> 00:19:15,136
I don't think sole custody was an issue for him anymore.
469
00:19:15,171 --> 00:19:16,044
Look, I know, okay?
470
00:19:16,079 --> 00:19:17,292
But... but he's loaded, okay?
471
00:19:17,327 --> 00:19:19,820
So... so I guess the thing is, when he kicks it,
472
00:19:19,855 --> 00:19:22,248
All that money goes into a trust for the girl,
473
00:19:22,283 --> 00:19:24,642
a trust that Gina would control unless someone,
474
00:19:24,676 --> 00:19:27,127
I. E. me, could convince her to sign away her rights.
475
00:19:27,162 --> 00:19:29,579
Well, did you convince her like Tatem paid you to?
476
00:19:29,614 --> 00:19:30,981
I w...
477
00:19:32,584 --> 00:19:34,786
You know, it... it was never the right moment, so...
478
00:19:34,821 --> 00:19:37,219
Mr. West, you had far more to gain
479
00:19:37,253 --> 00:19:39,254
if Gina got custody of her daughter.
480
00:19:39,288 --> 00:19:41,326
And yet you want us to believe
481
00:19:41,361 --> 00:19:46,141
that you agreed to sell yourself short for $25,000?
482
00:19:46,176 --> 00:19:47,750
You know, who's to say she wouldn't skip on me
483
00:19:47,785 --> 00:19:49,496
as soon as things went her way?
484
00:19:49,497 --> 00:19:50,342
Besides, you think...
485
00:19:50,377 --> 00:19:52,232
You think I want that whiny little brat around?
486
00:19:52,267 --> 00:19:55,035
No, man, just give me the $25,000 up front.
487
00:19:55,069 --> 00:19:57,972
Least I know what's in it for me, you know?
488
00:20:00,408 --> 00:20:03,477
Uh, chief, can I talk to you two for a second?
489
00:20:03,512 --> 00:20:05,271
Yes, Detective.
490
00:20:06,048 --> 00:20:07,716
Just a moment, Mr. West.
491
00:20:10,286 --> 00:20:11,486
I didn't do it!
492
00:20:13,488 --> 00:20:16,689
Darren Tatem just wired another $25,000
493
00:20:16,723 --> 00:20:18,790
into Wayne's account.
494
00:20:18,824 --> 00:20:21,189
This is beginning to look less and less like a suicide.
495
00:20:21,224 --> 00:20:22,988
And more like a murder for hire.
496
00:20:30,852 --> 00:20:31,553
Yeah.
497
00:20:31,588 --> 00:20:32,219
More?
498
00:20:32,254 --> 00:20:33,774
Uh, yeah, a little bit more.
499
00:20:35,014 --> 00:20:36,135
Okay.
500
00:20:37,182 --> 00:20:38,971
Chief, I'm sorry.
501
00:20:39,006 --> 00:20:41,640
My mother had to go to work, and my sister's sick,
502
00:20:41,675 --> 00:20:42,756
and he had no other place...
503
00:20:42,791 --> 00:20:45,073
Have you found Mr. West's alibi yet?
504
00:20:45,108 --> 00:20:46,129
Not yet, no.
505
00:20:46,164 --> 00:20:46,885
But...
506
00:20:50,190 --> 00:20:52,258
Detective, you are holding up my investigation.
507
00:20:52,293 --> 00:20:53,760
Chief, I went by Olson's apartment.
508
00:20:53,794 --> 00:20:55,528
A neighbor there said he skipped to Vegas.
509
00:20:55,562 --> 00:20:57,363
And I have the police there looking for him.
510
00:20:57,397 --> 00:21:00,600
But I have no other way to verify West's alibi.
511
00:21:01,434 --> 00:21:04,265
Chief, good news... Sanchez found someone else
512
00:21:04,300 --> 00:21:06,739
who can verify Wayne West's alibi.
513
00:21:12,740 --> 00:21:16,861
Detective, a choice needs to be made regarding your situation.
514
00:21:16,896 --> 00:21:19,104
And lieutenant Provenza is going to help you make it.
515
00:21:22,666 --> 00:21:24,714
Lieutenant, with me. With me.
516
00:21:31,277 --> 00:21:32,795
Chief, I'm sorry.
517
00:21:32,830 --> 00:21:34,500
He's just new to this whole taking-care-of-kids thing,
518
00:21:34,534 --> 00:21:37,004
- and I was just trying to help out.
- Then stop covering for him.
519
00:21:37,039 --> 00:21:39,220
Tell me about this new alibi.
520
00:21:39,255 --> 00:21:40,417
We were going through Tatem's accounts,
521
00:21:40,452 --> 00:21:42,127
and found a series of payments he recently made
522
00:21:42,162 --> 00:21:43,370
to a private investigator.
523
00:21:43,405 --> 00:21:44,714
Gabriel's bringing the guy in right now.
524
00:21:44,749 --> 00:21:45,508
Good.
525
00:21:45,991 --> 00:21:47,309
Here. Let me get the door for you.
526
00:21:47,843 --> 00:21:49,511
Thank you.
527
00:21:49,711 --> 00:21:51,295
West didn't kill anyone.
528
00:21:51,330 --> 00:21:52,772
I was following him the whole night.
529
00:21:52,807 --> 00:21:54,214
Got it all written down right here.
530
00:21:54,249 --> 00:21:56,057
- May I?
- Here.
531
00:21:56,092 --> 00:21:58,184
You were hired by Mr. Tatem. Is that correct?
532
00:21:58,218 --> 00:21:58,625
Yeah.
533
00:21:58,660 --> 00:22:02,214
There were some custody issues, and Tatem wanted me to find out
534
00:22:02,249 --> 00:22:04,106
if his ex-wife was still on drugs.
535
00:22:04,141 --> 00:22:06,241
Tore him up thinking she was gonna raise their little girl.
536
00:22:06,276 --> 00:22:08,427
I... I felt for the guy.
537
00:22:08,462 --> 00:22:09,415
Okay. Here we go.
538
00:22:09,450 --> 00:22:13,796
Thursday night, 6:27 P. M., West is picked up by a friend.
539
00:22:13,831 --> 00:22:15,503
Gina remains at the apartment?
540
00:22:15,538 --> 00:22:17,141
Yeah. That's why I stayed on West.
541
00:22:17,176 --> 00:22:19,043
I figured I'd see if he was buying for her.
542
00:22:19,078 --> 00:22:20,336
- Was he?
- Couldn't prove it.
543
00:22:20,370 --> 00:22:22,566
But he was definitely using, though.
544
00:22:22,601 --> 00:22:25,126
And he scored some meth that night with his friend.
545
00:22:25,161 --> 00:22:29,584
I- it says here West got home at 10:15 P. M.
546
00:22:29,619 --> 00:22:31,925
Right, when he discovered her body.
547
00:22:31,960 --> 00:22:34,231
He freaked and called 911 on his cell,
548
00:22:34,266 --> 00:22:36,684
and I left, got some sleep.
549
00:22:37,634 --> 00:22:38,503
Sorry.
550
00:22:39,294 --> 00:22:41,842
How often were you reporting to Mr. Tatem?
551
00:22:41,877 --> 00:22:43,276
Every day at some point.
552
00:22:43,311 --> 00:22:44,640
- By phone?
- Mostly.
553
00:22:44,675 --> 00:22:46,385
He came by the office a few times
554
00:22:46,420 --> 00:22:48,095
when he was feeling up to it.
555
00:22:48,532 --> 00:22:50,563
So he's still able to get around.
556
00:22:50,597 --> 00:22:52,305
A- and that night, the... the night that Gina died...
557
00:22:52,340 --> 00:22:53,294
Did you talk to him then?
558
00:22:53,329 --> 00:22:55,700
I did. I told him West was getting high.
559
00:22:55,734 --> 00:22:58,335
So Mr. Tatem knew Gina was by herself.
560
00:22:58,369 --> 00:23:00,570
Coroner's investigator said she was dead by 10 P. M.
561
00:23:01,614 --> 00:23:04,549
But why would he pay me to prove his ex-wife was still using
562
00:23:04,584 --> 00:23:06,308
if he was just gonna kill her anyway?
563
00:23:06,343 --> 00:23:08,853
I promise that is the first question I'm gonna ask him.
564
00:23:13,765 --> 00:23:15,846
Sir, we're here to speak with Darren Tatem.
565
00:23:15,881 --> 00:23:17,927
He's busy, so unless you have a warrant, I...
566
00:23:17,962 --> 00:23:19,419
If you'll excuse us.
567
00:23:20,264 --> 00:23:21,841
Lieutenant Tao, upstairs, please.
568
00:23:21,876 --> 00:23:22,673
Lieutenant Provenza.
569
00:23:22,708 --> 00:23:26,159
Sir, is Mr. Tatem in his recording studio?
570
00:23:26,193 --> 00:23:28,829
I'll take that as a yes. And his daughter... is she here, too?
571
00:23:28,864 --> 00:23:30,262
Cody went shopping with my wife.
572
00:23:30,297 --> 00:23:32,064
Look, showing up with all these people here
573
00:23:32,098 --> 00:23:33,831
is completely unnecessary.
574
00:23:33,866 --> 00:23:35,667
Darren will cooperate in any way he can.
575
00:23:35,701 --> 00:23:36,768
Good. Detective.
576
00:23:36,802 --> 00:23:39,237
He's very sick. Don't you understand that?
577
00:23:39,271 --> 00:23:41,640
Look, he hasn't done anything wrong!
578
00:23:42,014 --> 00:23:44,341
Why don't you just tell me what you want?!
579
00:23:44,375 --> 00:23:45,475
Mr. Tatem.
580
00:23:45,969 --> 00:23:48,612
- My son didn't do anything!
- Mr. Tatem.
581
00:23:50,284 --> 00:23:51,682
Mr. Tatem, open this door!
582
00:23:51,717 --> 00:23:53,081
Wait! Wait! Darren, please!
583
00:23:53,116 --> 00:23:54,849
Sir... sir... sir, just stay back, okay?
584
00:23:54,884 --> 00:23:57,942
Mr. Tatem, we need to talk to you. Open this door now.
585
00:23:57,977 --> 00:23:59,453
- Please, let me go in.
- Sir, I said stay back!
586
00:23:59,487 --> 00:24:00,824
- This is ridiculous!
- Stay back!
587
00:24:00,859 --> 00:24:02,765
- You want it open?
Yes.
588
00:24:02,800 --> 00:24:05,508
Mr. Tatem, we know you hired a private investigator.
589
00:24:05,543 --> 00:24:07,162
He told you that Gina was by herself.
590
00:24:07,197 --> 00:24:09,662
- Just leave him alone! That woman shot herself!
- Sir, will you shut up?!
591
00:24:09,696 --> 00:24:11,297
- That woman shot herself!
- Will you shut up?!
592
00:24:11,331 --> 00:24:12,943
We know Wayne West didn't kill her.
593
00:24:12,978 --> 00:24:15,701
You just transferred another $25,000 to frame him.
594
00:24:15,735 --> 00:24:16,870
Please leave my family alone.
595
00:24:16,905 --> 00:24:19,353
- No.
- Could you please just leave them alone?
596
00:24:19,388 --> 00:24:20,609
That's up to you, Mr. Tatem.
597
00:24:20,644 --> 00:24:22,711
Open this door. We need to talk to you.
598
00:24:22,745 --> 00:24:24,444
- Dad, I love you.
- Darren?
599
00:24:24,948 --> 00:24:26,435
- Hurry, Detective.
- I'm trying.
600
00:24:26,470 --> 00:24:29,149
And I love mom, too, okay? And tell Cody.
601
00:24:29,571 --> 00:24:32,070
Tell her that she was everything to me. Never doubt it.
602
00:24:32,105 --> 00:24:34,569
- Open the door. Get it open now.
- I'm trying, chief.
603
00:24:35,497 --> 00:24:36,797
Darren! Darren!
604
00:24:36,831 --> 00:24:38,566
No! Oh, my God!
605
00:24:38,600 --> 00:24:41,350
- Oh, my God!
- Chief, you all right?
606
00:24:41,385 --> 00:24:43,570
- 4-king-62. 4-king-62. I have a gunshot wound.
- Oh, Darren, what did you do?
607
00:24:43,604 --> 00:24:45,938
Male, 30s. I need paramedics, two additional units,
608
00:24:45,972 --> 00:24:47,839
and a supervisor now... do you copy?
609
00:24:47,874 --> 00:24:49,708
- Darren, what did you do? What did you do?
- All units, 4- king-62 is requesting
610
00:24:49,742 --> 00:24:51,909
- Two units and a supervisor.
- Look at this.
611
00:24:52,719 --> 00:24:55,656
"I killed her. For Cody. I'm sorry. "
612
00:25:05,872 --> 00:25:07,763
Now, this was definitely a suicide.
613
00:25:08,181 --> 00:25:09,488
No argument here.
614
00:25:09,523 --> 00:25:10,658
You know, when people shoot themselves
615
00:25:10,692 --> 00:25:12,203
in the mouth like this,
616
00:25:12,624 --> 00:25:14,427
they always press their tongue against the barrel
617
00:25:14,462 --> 00:25:15,795
at the moment of truth.
618
00:25:16,482 --> 00:25:17,887
Interesting, no?
619
00:25:20,232 --> 00:25:22,029
How sick was he?
620
00:25:22,064 --> 00:25:24,083
Well, about as sick as you can be.
621
00:25:24,118 --> 00:25:26,102
Uh, the cancer was everywhere.
622
00:25:26,137 --> 00:25:29,167
He had a few weeks left, max.
623
00:25:29,202 --> 00:25:30,770
Would he have known that for sure?
624
00:25:31,218 --> 00:25:33,944
No responsible physician would have told him anything else.
625
00:25:34,708 --> 00:25:38,449
So why not just... turn himself in?
626
00:25:39,271 --> 00:25:40,198
I don't know.
627
00:25:40,233 --> 00:25:42,098
In his condition, the judge probably grants bail.
628
00:25:42,133 --> 00:25:43,963
He spends whatever time he has left at home.
629
00:25:43,998 --> 00:25:44,762
With his daughter.
630
00:25:44,797 --> 00:25:48,084
And his morphine drip. Hm. But to each his own.
631
00:25:50,590 --> 00:25:54,098
Let's just go back over everything, j-just to be safe.
632
00:25:54,643 --> 00:25:56,378
The... the timeline, the finances.
633
00:25:56,413 --> 00:25:58,114
Just recheck everyone's story.
634
00:25:58,721 --> 00:26:00,331
Thank you so much, doctor.
635
00:26:00,366 --> 00:26:02,044
Oh, um...
636
00:26:03,141 --> 00:26:06,043
The tox results for Gina Decker.
637
00:26:06,077 --> 00:26:07,966
Even though I'm still pretty certain
638
00:26:08,001 --> 00:26:09,820
it was the bullet that killed her,
639
00:26:09,855 --> 00:26:12,684
she was pretty jacked up on meth at the time of death.
640
00:26:16,996 --> 00:26:19,775
So she would've lost custody regardless.
641
00:26:20,192 --> 00:26:22,344
Wow. If Tatem had only known.
642
00:26:22,379 --> 00:26:24,298
That's what bothers me.
643
00:26:24,333 --> 00:26:26,584
He did know. I- I mean, he had to.
644
00:26:26,619 --> 00:26:28,835
His PI told him Wayne West was using.
645
00:26:28,869 --> 00:26:29,639
Wait a minute. I'm sorry.
646
00:26:29,674 --> 00:26:31,983
Are you questioning the confession now?
647
00:26:32,018 --> 00:26:33,974
You mean the seven words he typed on his computer?
648
00:26:34,008 --> 00:26:35,914
Just because he didn't say them to your face
649
00:26:35,949 --> 00:26:37,511
doesn't make it any less real.
650
00:26:38,449 --> 00:26:40,580
Anyway, uh...
651
00:26:40,614 --> 00:26:43,782
Speaking of custody issues, I've been thinking.
652
00:26:43,816 --> 00:26:45,982
If I make chief,
653
00:26:46,813 --> 00:26:50,514
I might move you into my job...
654
00:26:51,609 --> 00:26:55,656
In which case, we would need to begin to consider
655
00:26:55,690 --> 00:26:57,924
who might take over your division.
656
00:26:58,394 --> 00:26:59,893
Wow.
657
00:27:01,095 --> 00:27:02,495
Uh, okay, yes.
658
00:27:02,529 --> 00:27:05,451
Um, I-I'll start thinking about that.
659
00:27:05,486 --> 00:27:07,650
How do I look? Seriously?
660
00:27:07,685 --> 00:27:10,635
Fine. Nice.
661
00:27:10,670 --> 00:27:11,936
Where are you going, anyway?
662
00:27:11,970 --> 00:27:15,558
This event/dinner thing
663
00:27:15,593 --> 00:27:18,141
with a bunch of, uh, city council members.
664
00:27:18,175 --> 00:27:19,542
Ugh.
665
00:27:19,576 --> 00:27:22,510
You don't know how lucky you are you don't have to do this stuff.
666
00:27:22,545 --> 00:27:23,811
What about Taylor?
667
00:27:24,393 --> 00:27:25,414
What about him?
668
00:27:25,449 --> 00:27:26,783
You know, for major crimes.
669
00:27:28,434 --> 00:27:31,331
Well, think about it. He's... he's been very supportive.
670
00:27:31,366 --> 00:27:33,619
So send him a basket of muffins.
671
00:27:39,805 --> 00:27:41,493
Have a nice dinner.
672
00:27:43,859 --> 00:27:46,731
You're talking in the realm of ifs and maybes,
673
00:27:46,766 --> 00:27:48,499
and I'm talking in the realm of facts.
674
00:27:48,534 --> 00:27:50,001
- I don't believe this.
- It's not as simple as you're making it out to be.
675
00:27:50,035 --> 00:27:51,970
- It's not that simple.
- Over here?
676
00:27:52,004 --> 00:27:54,785
Lieutenant! You need to handle this.
677
00:27:55,437 --> 00:27:57,148
Chief, this isn't about Sanchez.
678
00:27:57,183 --> 00:27:58,476
Gabriel, come on.
679
00:27:59,988 --> 00:28:00,787
What's it about?
680
00:28:00,822 --> 00:28:03,705
Nothing, chief. E- everything's fine. Nothing.
681
00:28:07,391 --> 00:28:09,694
Tatem did not kill his ex-wife.
682
00:28:09,695 --> 00:28:10,906
Why do you say that?
683
00:28:12,126 --> 00:28:13,757
'Cause we were going back through everything.
684
00:28:13,791 --> 00:28:16,293
And lieutenant tao and I took a look at Tatem's computer.
685
00:28:16,328 --> 00:28:18,795
We were looking at the score that he was finishing up.
686
00:28:20,482 --> 00:28:21,931
Lieutenant, the score?
687
00:28:29,621 --> 00:28:31,761
The program he works on...
688
00:28:31,796 --> 00:28:36,276
is automatically set up to save changes every five minutes.
689
00:28:37,970 --> 00:28:41,115
Could you open the list of changes, please, lieutenant?
690
00:28:41,150 --> 00:28:42,929
Oh, boy. Here we go.
691
00:28:43,935 --> 00:28:47,179
Right. Okay.
692
00:28:48,442 --> 00:28:50,961
If you'll notice the dates and times of these saves,
693
00:28:50,996 --> 00:28:53,393
You'll see they occurred during the evening of Gina's murder,
694
00:28:53,428 --> 00:28:56,561
starting at 6:00 P. M. and continuing past 11:00.
695
00:28:56,595 --> 00:28:58,294
But that doesn't mean he was actually there.
696
00:28:58,329 --> 00:29:00,206
You said the program saves automatically.
697
00:29:00,241 --> 00:29:02,055
Only if changes are made.
698
00:29:02,089 --> 00:29:05,492
So he had to have been working on the score during that time,
699
00:29:05,527 --> 00:29:07,189
or it wouldn't have changed anything.
700
00:29:07,224 --> 00:29:10,005
- Exactly.
- Chief, please.
701
00:29:15,302 --> 00:29:17,464
Chief, we've already solved this case once.
702
00:29:17,499 --> 00:29:19,697
It's wrapped up with a bow on top.
703
00:29:19,732 --> 00:29:24,289
Now, if you untie that bow, you know what will happen.
704
00:29:42,760 --> 00:29:45,256
This isn't the kind of decision we make on our own.
705
00:29:49,374 --> 00:29:52,102
Detective Gabriel, since this is still a custody case,
706
00:29:52,137 --> 00:29:53,734
I'd like to see Cody Tatem.
707
00:29:54,273 --> 00:29:56,804
Have her grandparents bring her in, please. Thank you.
708
00:29:59,596 --> 00:30:00,750
Yes, ma'am.
709
00:30:08,344 --> 00:30:10,352
We'll, uh, head down here.
710
00:30:11,673 --> 00:30:13,856
Sorry for the inconvenience.
711
00:30:16,260 --> 00:30:17,927
Thank you, commander.
712
00:30:17,962 --> 00:30:19,595
Oh, no job too small.
713
00:30:20,426 --> 00:30:21,473
Mr. And Mrs. Tatem,
714
00:30:21,508 --> 00:30:24,162
thank you so much for coming down here tonight.
715
00:30:24,623 --> 00:30:25,929
Right this way.
716
00:30:34,838 --> 00:30:38,428
Seems like we're running our own little daycare here lately.
717
00:30:38,463 --> 00:30:42,309
Um, Detective Sanchez here would be happy to watch Cody
718
00:30:42,344 --> 00:30:43,900
While we talk, if you don't mind.
719
00:30:44,404 --> 00:30:46,731
Cody, okay?
720
00:30:46,766 --> 00:30:48,549
Okay, sweetie. Lieutenant Flynn.
721
00:30:50,308 --> 00:30:51,797
Come on, sweetheart.
722
00:30:52,184 --> 00:30:53,316
Excuse me.
723
00:30:53,351 --> 00:30:54,323
Excuse me. Yes?
724
00:30:54,358 --> 00:30:56,435
You said that you had some questions
725
00:30:56,470 --> 00:30:57,569
about Darren's death?
726
00:30:57,604 --> 00:31:00,658
Yes. I have what I hope will be comforting news for you both.
727
00:31:00,693 --> 00:31:02,768
And that is that we've been able to establish
728
00:31:02,803 --> 00:31:04,494
that your son was not responsible
729
00:31:04,529 --> 00:31:07,126
- for the death of Gina Decker.
- What?
730
00:31:07,543 --> 00:31:09,830
I'm sorry. I fail to see how that's comforting news to us,
731
00:31:09,831 --> 00:31:11,565
considering that it was your investigation
732
00:31:11,600 --> 00:31:13,734
- that forced Darren to commit suicide!
- Sir.
733
00:31:13,768 --> 00:31:16,670
Our investigation did not force him to confess.
734
00:31:18,130 --> 00:31:20,796
Which of you was he trying to protect by killing himself?
735
00:31:20,831 --> 00:31:23,382
- What are you talking about?
- No one. That's... that's ridiculous!
736
00:31:23,417 --> 00:31:25,247
We're... we're... we're not answering anything else.
737
00:31:25,282 --> 00:31:27,535
You will if you want to retain custody of your granddaughter.
738
00:31:27,570 --> 00:31:30,601
What? You wouldn't dare try to keep her here.
739
00:31:30,602 --> 00:31:32,254
I've done worse things.
740
00:31:33,381 --> 00:31:35,051
I'm beginning to think that you have, too.
741
00:31:37,989 --> 00:31:39,460
Let's find out.
742
00:31:45,377 --> 00:31:46,991
You first.
743
00:31:47,498 --> 00:31:48,710
- Albert.
- Sir.
744
00:31:49,184 --> 00:31:52,367
Sir, I need you to come with me down the hall, please.
745
00:31:52,976 --> 00:31:54,738
Thank you.
746
00:31:54,739 --> 00:31:55,569
Right this way.
747
00:32:03,701 --> 00:32:06,365
Uh, it'll just be a few minutes.
748
00:32:06,400 --> 00:32:08,994
All right, now, Mrs. Tatem,
749
00:32:09,029 --> 00:32:11,284
I've gone around and around on this case,
750
00:32:11,319 --> 00:32:13,540
and, frankly, I'm tired of being lied to.
751
00:32:13,574 --> 00:32:14,892
So I'm gonna make this very simple.
752
00:32:14,927 --> 00:32:17,310
Detective Gabriel here has read you your rights.
753
00:32:17,344 --> 00:32:18,418
First I'm gonna talk to you,
754
00:32:18,453 --> 00:32:20,180
and then I'm gonna talk to your husband.
755
00:32:20,215 --> 00:32:21,873
And if I believe that the two of you
756
00:32:21,908 --> 00:32:24,048
conspired to kill your ex-daughter-in-law...
757
00:32:24,083 --> 00:32:25,817
No. Wait. That never happened.
758
00:32:25,851 --> 00:32:26,596
...Then little Cody, who's already lost
759
00:32:26,631 --> 00:32:29,655
her mother and her father, will also lose you
760
00:32:29,689 --> 00:32:31,662
when the department of children's services
761
00:32:31,697 --> 00:32:32,793
puts her into foster care.
762
00:32:32,827 --> 00:32:34,395
Oh, God, no. Please, please, please...
763
00:32:34,429 --> 00:32:37,598
However, if I believe that one of you acted on your own,
764
00:32:37,632 --> 00:32:40,338
then the remaining grandparent will be awarded full custody
765
00:32:40,373 --> 00:32:42,735
and be able to take Cody home tonight.
766
00:32:49,592 --> 00:32:50,576
Are we done yet?
767
00:32:51,162 --> 00:32:53,279
Mrs. Tatem.
768
00:32:54,482 --> 00:32:57,985
Darren was our only child.
769
00:32:58,019 --> 00:32:59,253
And when it became clear
770
00:32:59,287 --> 00:33:02,012
that he wasn't going to beat the cancer,
771
00:33:02,047 --> 00:33:04,702
the only thing we had to hold on to
772
00:33:04,737 --> 00:33:07,995
was that he would live on with us through Cody.
773
00:33:08,947 --> 00:33:11,365
And Thursday morning,
774
00:33:11,400 --> 00:33:16,136
when Darren told us that Gina had tested clean
775
00:33:16,170 --> 00:33:20,473
and... after he was gone
776
00:33:20,507 --> 00:33:24,945
we were g-going to lose Cody, too...
777
00:33:24,979 --> 00:33:27,463
Had you tried to arrange it so that you and your husband
778
00:33:27,498 --> 00:33:29,398
would retain custody of your granddaughter?
779
00:33:29,433 --> 00:33:32,252
Of course! We hired lawyers.
780
00:33:32,286 --> 00:33:36,957
But in California, when the mother is deemed fit...
781
00:33:36,992 --> 00:33:41,093
the grandparents have no custodial rights.
782
00:33:41,128 --> 00:33:43,228
Let's get to Thursday night, shall we?
783
00:33:46,456 --> 00:33:48,166
My husband...
784
00:33:48,644 --> 00:33:52,103
he called Gina...
785
00:33:52,137 --> 00:33:55,579
and told her he wanted to meet
786
00:33:55,614 --> 00:33:59,681
and that there would be a lot of money in it for her
787
00:33:59,716 --> 00:34:03,748
if she would just sign away her parental rights.
788
00:34:04,817 --> 00:34:08,587
But she... she refused to meet Albert.
789
00:34:12,092 --> 00:34:14,727
So I went instead.
790
00:34:16,047 --> 00:34:17,323
Wait.
791
00:34:17,358 --> 00:34:18,600
You did?
792
00:34:21,617 --> 00:34:23,390
I brought our checkbook,
793
00:34:23,425 --> 00:34:26,405
hoping I could pay her enough money
794
00:34:26,439 --> 00:34:29,007
to get her to sign the papers.
795
00:34:29,042 --> 00:34:32,278
And you also brought a gun?
796
00:34:33,723 --> 00:34:34,940
Yes.
797
00:34:37,101 --> 00:34:38,116
I did.
798
00:34:38,150 --> 00:34:40,821
Mrs. Tatem, let me warn you that if your story
799
00:34:40,856 --> 00:34:42,879
does not match your husband's, I'll be forced to think
800
00:34:42,914 --> 00:34:44,523
- that the two of you planned it together.
- My husband didn't do it.
801
00:34:44,557 --> 00:34:45,991
No. Listen to me. I did it.
802
00:34:48,461 --> 00:34:50,262
I did it.
803
00:34:51,898 --> 00:34:54,333
Tell me how you planned it.
804
00:34:54,657 --> 00:34:57,202
I didn't plan it.
805
00:34:58,204 --> 00:35:00,840
I just knew it had to be done.
806
00:35:04,653 --> 00:35:08,782
Gina was surprised to see me.
807
00:35:09,393 --> 00:35:12,051
But I told her I just wanted to talk.
808
00:35:13,054 --> 00:35:16,890
She was hungry, so I offered to buy her dinner.
809
00:35:17,398 --> 00:35:18,944
I was low on gas,
810
00:35:18,979 --> 00:35:23,529
and Gina's license had been revoked,
811
00:35:23,563 --> 00:35:25,897
so we got in Wayne's car.
812
00:35:25,931 --> 00:35:28,166
But before we drove away,
813
00:35:28,201 --> 00:35:32,303
I- I asked Gina where she was comfortable going,
814
00:35:32,337 --> 00:35:34,241
considering how she was dressed.
815
00:35:34,276 --> 00:35:38,645
And she... she took that entirely the wrong way.
816
00:35:38,679 --> 00:35:42,049
She ended up screaming at me.
817
00:35:42,552 --> 00:35:47,088
That's when she said that after Darren died,
818
00:35:47,122 --> 00:35:50,425
we would never see Cody again.
819
00:35:52,163 --> 00:35:55,767
There was nothing left to discuss.
820
00:35:57,097 --> 00:35:59,468
I got out of the car.
821
00:36:01,560 --> 00:36:04,940
She was so mad, she wouldn't even look at me.
822
00:36:07,143 --> 00:36:10,178
I reached into my purse for the gun.
823
00:36:12,447 --> 00:36:14,882
I leaned into the car.
824
00:36:17,986 --> 00:36:20,387
And I shot her in the head.
825
00:36:24,236 --> 00:36:25,626
Where'd you get the gun?
826
00:36:26,386 --> 00:36:29,062
It was Darren's.
827
00:36:29,522 --> 00:36:31,531
I'd hidden it from him.
828
00:36:34,335 --> 00:36:36,736
Afraid he might do something stupid.
829
00:36:39,129 --> 00:36:41,107
I guess he replaced it.
830
00:36:42,710 --> 00:36:45,111
Did he know you killed Gina?
831
00:36:48,449 --> 00:36:51,451
Not until you showed him a picture of his gun.
832
00:36:53,002 --> 00:36:54,833
And what about your husband?
833
00:36:55,742 --> 00:36:58,596
He doesn't know anything.
834
00:37:00,861 --> 00:37:05,532
I decided to let Darren go...
835
00:37:05,566 --> 00:37:10,369
with the knowledge that Cody would be safe.
836
00:37:12,139 --> 00:37:15,908
But you took away all the time Darren had left...
837
00:37:15,943 --> 00:37:19,306
with Cody, with your husband, with you.
838
00:37:19,341 --> 00:37:22,670
Your son killed himself to protect you.
839
00:37:23,700 --> 00:37:25,943
And worst of all, Mrs. Tatem,
840
00:37:25,978 --> 00:37:29,524
blood work from our morgue shows that Gina was still using.
841
00:37:29,559 --> 00:37:32,124
So she would have lost custody anyway.
842
00:37:34,786 --> 00:37:36,864
You only know that
843
00:37:36,899 --> 00:37:40,170
because I put a bullet in her brain.
844
00:37:41,500 --> 00:37:44,169
And what would have happened to Cody if I hadn't?
845
00:37:45,561 --> 00:37:48,874
We all know. Don't we?
846
00:37:51,811 --> 00:37:53,345
I had to do it.
847
00:37:55,510 --> 00:37:57,315
I had to.
848
00:38:02,533 --> 00:38:04,823
I'm gonna bring your husband in now
849
00:38:04,857 --> 00:38:07,497
so you can tell him yourself what you did.
850
00:38:13,440 --> 00:38:15,267
Good luck to you, Mrs. Tatem.
851
00:38:27,247 --> 00:38:29,214
- Bringing the husband in now, chief.
- Thank you.
852
00:38:29,699 --> 00:38:32,718
Chief, you know, we could write this up as manslaughter.
853
00:38:33,615 --> 00:38:35,454
She brought a gun with her, lieutenant.
854
00:38:35,489 --> 00:38:36,655
And good intentions.
855
00:38:37,209 --> 00:38:40,005
Is this how you want custody battles decided...
856
00:38:40,040 --> 00:38:42,928
by knocking off everyone unqualified to be a parent?
857
00:38:42,962 --> 00:38:45,330
We'd have a world full of orphans.
858
00:38:53,253 --> 00:38:55,774
Write it up as a murder.
859
00:38:55,808 --> 00:38:57,509
We'll let the jury decide.
860
00:38:57,982 --> 00:38:59,545
Yeah, chief.
861
00:39:20,391 --> 00:39:21,602
Do you want me to turn this off, chief?
862
00:39:21,637 --> 00:39:22,770
Uh, no.
863
00:39:22,805 --> 00:39:24,773
- Can I borrow headphones, please?
- Sure.
864
00:39:30,173 --> 00:39:32,446
You sure she's not lying to you?
865
00:40:01,777 --> 00:40:03,401
I am now.
866
00:40:46,985 --> 00:40:48,224
Rough day?
867
00:40:48,259 --> 00:40:50,111
You could say that.
868
00:40:52,984 --> 00:40:54,582
Thanks.
869
00:40:59,831 --> 00:41:02,424
You decide to turn in your application for chief or not?
870
00:41:02,947 --> 00:41:04,493
No...
871
00:41:04,527 --> 00:41:06,303
Because the only person in my division
872
00:41:06,338 --> 00:41:08,747
who's begun to share my priorities is Gabriel,
873
00:41:08,782 --> 00:41:12,131
and he'd never even be considered because of his rank.
874
00:41:12,132 --> 00:41:13,235
And maybe his record.
875
00:41:14,370 --> 00:41:18,699
You know, Pope went outside the department to find you.
876
00:41:18,734 --> 00:41:20,718
You could do the same.
877
00:41:20,753 --> 00:41:23,327
Of course, you'd have to be chief to do it.
878
00:41:27,389 --> 00:41:28,857
I don't know.
879
00:41:33,349 --> 00:41:34,688
We'll see.
880
00:41:38,029 --> 00:41:38,860
Maybe you're right.
881
00:41:38,894 --> 00:41:42,696
Maybe... getting a little emotional distance
882
00:41:42,730 --> 00:41:44,330
wouldn't be such a terrible thing.
883
00:41:44,365 --> 00:41:45,431
Mm.
884
