1
00:01:51,821 --> 00:01:54,240
How'd a water stain get there?
2
00:01:54,699 --> 00:01:57,576
It rained maybe twice this last year.
3
00:01:58,869 --> 00:02:01,038
It's like everything's papier mâché.
4
00:02:04,583 --> 00:02:06,377
Stop thinking.
5
00:02:08,337 --> 00:02:10,298
I don't like being on a ledge.
6
00:02:10,381 --> 00:02:13,134
Nobody gets rich
on their own money.
7
00:02:14,468 --> 00:02:16,721
I never really knew what to do with it.
8
00:02:17,888 --> 00:02:19,348
Money.
9
00:02:21,767 --> 00:02:23,811
I see that about myself.
10
00:02:27,231 --> 00:02:30,234
You always said you want lots of land.
11
00:02:31,235 --> 00:02:32,611
Yes.
12
00:02:33,195 --> 00:02:35,614
But you need children to leave it to.
13
00:02:37,199 --> 00:02:38,909
It's never really yours.
14
00:02:39,618 --> 00:02:40,828
You don't take it with you.
15
00:02:41,370 --> 00:02:43,456
You don't take anything with you.
16
00:02:43,539 --> 00:02:47,043
Just yourself, whatever that was.
17
00:02:47,376 --> 00:02:50,963
I've worked my whole life, same as you.
18
00:02:51,630 --> 00:02:54,842
And not being poor
is better than the opposite.
19
00:03:00,389 --> 00:03:02,641
My old man back in Chicago,
20
00:03:03,309 --> 00:03:05,603
when I was a kid...
21
00:03:06,103 --> 00:03:09,482
...he used to lock me
in the basement when he'd go on a bender.
22
00:03:10,691 --> 00:03:14,320
Usually last the night.
Let me out the next day.
23
00:03:15,029 --> 00:03:17,573
Thought he was keeping me safe, I guess.
24
00:03:19,075 --> 00:03:21,744
This one time, I was six,
25
00:03:23,162 --> 00:03:25,456
he puts me down there,
26
00:03:25,748 --> 00:03:27,750
and I wake up,
27
00:03:28,501 --> 00:03:30,378
and it's locked.
28
00:03:31,128 --> 00:03:33,255
It had happened before.
29
00:03:34,840 --> 00:03:39,970
Anyways, I guess he ended up arrested.
I guess.
30
00:03:40,054 --> 00:03:41,472
God, baby.
31
00:03:41,639 --> 00:03:43,432
Well...
32
00:03:44,475 --> 00:03:46,477
By the second morning
33
00:03:47,770 --> 00:03:49,647
I was out of food.
34
00:03:51,190 --> 00:03:55,027
The third day, the, uh, lightbulb burned out.
35
00:03:56,821 --> 00:03:58,739
Pitch black in there.
36
00:04:00,533 --> 00:04:02,827
That's when the rats started coming out.
37
00:04:04,787 --> 00:04:06,580
I dozed off and...
38
00:04:08,165 --> 00:04:11,961
I felt the thing, you know, nibbling my finger.
39
00:04:18,134 --> 00:04:19,718
I woke up.
40
00:04:20,511 --> 00:04:23,180
It was, you know, chewing my finger.
41
00:04:25,307 --> 00:04:27,184
What did you do?
42
00:04:28,060 --> 00:04:32,189
I grabbed it in the dark with my hands
and I started smashing it.
43
00:04:34,358 --> 00:04:36,694
And I just kept smashing it
44
00:04:38,487 --> 00:04:41,532
till it was nothing but goo in my hands.
45
00:04:49,540 --> 00:04:51,625
Two more days I was in there,
46
00:04:53,377 --> 00:04:55,004
in the dark,
47
00:04:56,755 --> 00:04:58,883
till my dad comes home.
48
00:05:10,853 --> 00:05:14,773
Sometimes I wonder how many things
you have like that
49
00:05:17,234 --> 00:05:19,236
that I don't know about.
50
00:05:20,237 --> 00:05:21,405
Ever since, I wonder,
51
00:05:22,781 --> 00:05:25,201
what if he never comes home?
52
00:05:29,788 --> 00:05:31,415
What if
53
00:05:33,751 --> 00:05:35,753
I'm still in that basement
54
00:05:37,254 --> 00:05:38,839
in the dark?
55
00:05:47,598 --> 00:05:49,433
What if I died there?
56
00:05:58,484 --> 00:06:00,361
That's what that reminds me of.
57
00:06:00,444 --> 00:06:02,279
What?
58
00:06:04,782 --> 00:06:06,367
That water stain.
59
00:06:09,078 --> 00:06:11,455
Something's trying to tell me that
60
00:06:13,457 --> 00:06:15,459
it's all papier mâché.
61
00:06:17,253 --> 00:06:19,255
Something's telling me to wake up.
62
00:06:21,715 --> 00:06:23,425
Like...
63
00:06:27,638 --> 00:06:29,306
Like I'm not real.
64
00:06:31,517 --> 00:06:33,477
Like I'm only dreaming.
65
00:06:37,273 --> 00:06:40,776
TOD between 4:00 and 9:00 a.m.,
morning of the 26th.
66
00:06:40,985 --> 00:06:43,988
Tox shows Xanax, alcohol,
67
00:06:44,071 --> 00:06:47,074
also had gonorrhea, for what it's worth.
68
00:06:47,157 --> 00:06:51,203
Hydrochloric acid on his eyes.
Burn pattern tells us he was on his back.
69
00:06:51,287 --> 00:06:54,498
Lack of spray around the orbital cavity
indicates precision.
70
00:06:54,665 --> 00:06:57,209
Some kind of glass eyedropper, maybe.
71
00:06:57,293 --> 00:06:58,294
He's our body.
72
00:06:58,836 --> 00:07:01,714
I don't see that changing,
so why don't you all fill me in?
73
00:07:01,880 --> 00:07:04,174
Victim is a key figure
in a state's investigation.
74
00:07:04,258 --> 00:07:06,427
- What state investigation?
- Newly formed.
75
00:07:06,510 --> 00:07:10,097
We're looking into various allegations
made against Vinci in the papers.
76
00:07:10,180 --> 00:07:13,601
Vinci detectives have been
on Caspere as a missing person for two days.
77
00:07:13,684 --> 00:07:16,562
We have the man's house,
which was burglarized.
78
00:07:16,645 --> 00:07:17,771
You want to shut us out,
79
00:07:17,855 --> 00:07:20,065
we'll continue
our investigation autonomously.
80
00:07:20,149 --> 00:07:23,569
In Vinci, so everybody
can keep their little corners to themselves,
81
00:07:23,652 --> 00:07:26,989
but, ladies and gentlemen,
PD is solving this case.
82
00:07:27,072 --> 00:07:31,285
I understand Ventura.
How does the state have any claim here?
83
00:07:32,369 --> 00:07:34,455
Our officer found the body.
84
00:07:34,538 --> 00:07:36,248
This could get you
out from under, Woodrugh.
85
00:07:36,332 --> 00:07:39,126
That actress bullshit.
You'd be detailed as a state's investigator.
86
00:07:39,668 --> 00:07:41,837
The Caspere homicide
is your public investigation.
87
00:07:41,920 --> 00:07:44,631
Looking into Vinci PD
is your confidential mandate,
88
00:07:44,840 --> 00:07:47,301
gathering intel for a grand jury.
89
00:07:47,384 --> 00:07:50,304
This probe is very important
to the governor's office.
90
00:07:50,387 --> 00:07:51,930
Say this goes your way.
91
00:07:52,014 --> 00:07:54,391
How's it play for my boy here
once the dust settles?
92
00:07:55,559 --> 00:07:56,685
Everything shakes out,
93
00:07:56,769 --> 00:07:59,521
you'll be offered a chance
to remain investigator.
94
00:07:59,605 --> 00:08:01,690
In line for a state detective shield.
95
00:08:01,899 --> 00:08:04,485
We can wipe away all that admin hassle.
96
00:08:04,568 --> 00:08:06,070
When this is over,
97
00:08:08,155 --> 00:08:10,532
can I just go back to being on the bike?
98
00:08:11,450 --> 00:08:14,370
You can see abrasions
on his wrists and ankles,
99
00:08:14,453 --> 00:08:16,538
lividity on his torso.
100
00:08:16,622 --> 00:08:20,918
He was bound upside down, or close to it.
101
00:08:21,877 --> 00:08:26,340
Attorney general's office has concerns
about obfuscation on the part of Vinci PD.
102
00:08:26,423 --> 00:08:29,134
Detective Bezzerides,
you'll be primary commander of the detail.
103
00:08:29,218 --> 00:08:31,845
Secondary is gonna be a Vinci guy, Velcoro.
104
00:08:31,929 --> 00:08:34,390
Your DB was into a lot of LA County money.
105
00:08:34,473 --> 00:08:36,684
His house was broken into,
so you're going to Vinci.
106
00:08:37,309 --> 00:08:39,812
Vinci detective with you, word is he's bent.
107
00:08:39,895 --> 00:08:42,523
Work him. Leverage something to turn him.
108
00:08:42,606 --> 00:08:44,525
We'll have a full state probe up inside a week.
109
00:08:44,608 --> 00:08:47,277
Caspere's death is a window into everything.
110
00:08:47,444 --> 00:08:49,655
And what is "everything" exactly?
111
00:08:49,780 --> 00:08:51,281
You know anything about the city of Vinci?
112
00:08:56,495 --> 00:09:00,833
It started out as a vice haven,
early 1900s.
113
00:09:00,916 --> 00:09:03,210
Went industrial in the '20s.
114
00:09:03,293 --> 00:09:06,296
Pushed out residents
from manufacturing zones.
115
00:09:08,590 --> 00:09:10,676
Worst air polluter in the state.
116
00:09:10,759 --> 00:09:15,431
Annually emits or processes
27 million pounds of toxic waste.
117
00:09:19,726 --> 00:09:23,897
Reds tried to stop my grandfather
from industrial rezoning.
118
00:09:24,231 --> 00:09:25,566
Same thing.
119
00:09:26,692 --> 00:09:30,487
Geldof's been after us
since we won the last EPA suit.
120
00:09:30,654 --> 00:09:33,615
It's about money, Detective Velcoro.
121
00:09:33,699 --> 00:09:36,285
Caspere was one of the architects
of the community renewal initiative.
122
00:09:36,368 --> 00:09:42,624
Passing legislature, our city gets to keep
75% of its county tax revenue for eight years.
123
00:09:42,708 --> 00:09:44,793
- And what's that worth?
- About $900 million.
124
00:09:44,877 --> 00:09:46,128
Being kept from the county general fund.
125
00:09:46,211 --> 00:09:47,671
Hell, Ernst, it's our money.
126
00:09:47,755 --> 00:09:51,175
Vinci's a goddamn success story
in a depressed economy.
127
00:09:51,300 --> 00:09:53,969
State's gonna use the homicide
to dig into whatever they can, Ray.
128
00:09:54,052 --> 00:09:57,097
Wherever the Caspere case goes,
we need you running point.
129
00:09:57,264 --> 00:09:59,975
Control the sprawl.
Control the flow of information.
130
00:10:00,058 --> 00:10:03,312
Dixon is secondary to you,
staging out of Vinci.
131
00:10:03,520 --> 00:10:07,524
You'll be working under a Ventura
detective commanding the task force.
132
00:10:10,319 --> 00:10:11,904
That clear to you, Detective?
133
00:10:12,279 --> 00:10:14,573
10-4, Lieutenant. Just one question.
134
00:10:15,574 --> 00:10:17,201
Am I supposed to solve this or not?
135
00:10:21,079 --> 00:10:23,207
Just no surprises, Detective Velcoro.
136
00:10:23,332 --> 00:10:29,129
Ray accepts dualities must be effected
to, uh, serve public interests.
137
00:10:30,506 --> 00:10:32,216
I really do.
138
00:10:34,009 --> 00:10:36,011
- Bound?
- Vinyl fabric.
139
00:10:36,094 --> 00:10:38,347
You can see the edge
of the buckle's imprint on both wrists.
140
00:10:38,430 --> 00:10:39,973
Tape residue.
141
00:10:40,057 --> 00:10:42,976
Pelvic wounds
are from a 12-gauge at point-blank range.
142
00:10:43,060 --> 00:10:45,813
Some kind of Super X heavy load.
143
00:10:45,896 --> 00:10:48,607
Came after the eye stuff.
Official COD is heart attack.
144
00:10:48,690 --> 00:10:50,692
-Trauma-induced.
-A coup de grace.
145
00:10:50,776 --> 00:10:53,904
Lividity indicates he was placed
in an upright position after death.
146
00:10:53,987 --> 00:10:57,908
Spent a few hours that way.
Nothing under his nails, no prints.
147
00:10:58,408 --> 00:10:59,868
No trace at all?
148
00:11:09,378 --> 00:11:12,130
His eyes?
What the fuck kind of modus operandi is that?
149
00:11:12,214 --> 00:11:13,632
Doc said it was hydrochloric acid.
150
00:11:14,383 --> 00:11:16,677
And a shotgun blast happened.
151
00:11:16,760 --> 00:11:19,263
Torture. Somebody wanted
to know something.
152
00:11:19,346 --> 00:11:20,514
Yeah, his house was tossed.
153
00:11:20,931 --> 00:11:22,641
Somebody's making a move.
154
00:11:23,600 --> 00:11:26,103
What? What does that mean?
155
00:11:26,937 --> 00:11:30,357
-You knew Caspere?
-There's deals being done upstate.
156
00:11:30,440 --> 00:11:32,734
- A lot of money moving around.
- What deals?
157
00:11:33,819 --> 00:11:35,862
You pull my string? Is that how this works?
158
00:11:35,946 --> 00:11:38,740
Jesus, Frank. The more I know,
the better I can deal with this.
159
00:11:38,824 --> 00:11:39,908
This is what you deal with.
160
00:11:39,992 --> 00:11:42,369
Caspere was important
to this thing I have going on.
161
00:11:42,452 --> 00:11:44,037
I've got to clean it up now.
162
00:11:44,121 --> 00:11:46,832
So, you beat the bushes
until you figure it out.
163
00:11:46,915 --> 00:11:48,834
You ain't no sheriff's brownie.
You're a detective.
164
00:11:48,917 --> 00:11:50,752
Who's your best informant?
165
00:11:51,086 --> 00:11:52,087
Are you serious?
166
00:11:53,463 --> 00:11:55,007
Fucking hell, Raymond.
167
00:12:19,865 --> 00:12:22,326
Yeah, yeah, that's right. Fuck me.
168
00:12:45,223 --> 00:12:47,267
So good to see you.
169
00:12:48,435 --> 00:12:52,731
-Why don't you visit me more?
-Just busy. The job.
170
00:12:52,814 --> 00:12:56,193
The job. We haven't had dinner in ages.
171
00:12:56,443 --> 00:12:58,153
That's why I brought you this, Ma.
172
00:12:58,236 --> 00:12:59,863
Don't give me that "Ma" shit.
173
00:13:00,030 --> 00:13:01,782
It's too late for us to start all that now.
174
00:13:02,699 --> 00:13:04,034
Well, you ought to eat something.
175
00:13:05,494 --> 00:13:06,495
Oh, I don't touch bread.
176
00:13:07,037 --> 00:13:09,081
Peel that skin off for me, Paulie.
177
00:13:11,708 --> 00:13:13,752
So strong.
178
00:13:16,296 --> 00:13:19,299
I saw your old prom date the other day.
179
00:13:19,383 --> 00:13:21,009
She got fat.
180
00:13:21,385 --> 00:13:24,805
I remember her.
Couldn't wait to have somebody's baby.
181
00:13:24,888 --> 00:13:28,392
She was nice. She was nice to me.
182
00:13:29,810 --> 00:13:32,145
All the girls are nice to you, Paulie.
183
00:13:32,980 --> 00:13:34,981
You haven't figured that out by now?
184
00:13:39,236 --> 00:13:42,656
Want to stay tonight?
We can watch a Clint movie.
185
00:13:42,906 --> 00:13:44,491
You can have your old room.
186
00:13:45,951 --> 00:13:47,327
I'm working on something.
187
00:13:47,411 --> 00:13:50,706
-Just came to see...
-Who is she, you scamp?
188
00:13:51,123 --> 00:13:52,541
You rake.
189
00:13:53,750 --> 00:13:56,044
You got hound's blood just like your daddy.
190
00:13:56,128 --> 00:14:00,716
I'm not gonna be around for a while.
I've got to work around LA and the coast.
191
00:14:02,592 --> 00:14:04,386
-Special detail.
-Mmm.
192
00:14:05,721 --> 00:14:08,598
Then stay. We can play cards.
193
00:14:09,182 --> 00:14:11,101
You can have your old room.
194
00:14:14,563 --> 00:14:16,773
You been getting
any more shifts at the restaurant lately?
195
00:14:20,068 --> 00:14:23,530
Not with my carpal tunnel.
I'd lose my state check, anyway.
196
00:14:24,573 --> 00:14:26,700
I thought Bill
was letting you work off the books.
197
00:14:26,783 --> 00:14:30,287
Oh, Bill?
Don't talk to me about that motherfucker.
198
00:14:33,790 --> 00:14:37,878
Are you gonna give yourself up
or do this the hard way?
199
00:14:37,961 --> 00:14:41,048
There ain't no easy with me.
You know that.
200
00:14:41,131 --> 00:14:44,092
Damn. I so hate making a mess.
201
00:14:44,176 --> 00:14:47,345
A lot of paperwork, you know.
It messes with you.
202
00:14:48,013 --> 00:14:51,016
Screw you. I did my time in prison.
203
00:15:23,340 --> 00:15:25,592
We're listing contents
against insurance audits.
204
00:15:25,675 --> 00:15:27,427
See what was stolen.
205
00:15:29,346 --> 00:15:32,766
Well, somebody was looking for something.
Would explain the torture.
206
00:15:32,849 --> 00:15:35,894
Maybe. Guy really
thought about fucking a lot.
207
00:15:48,573 --> 00:15:50,075
Do you mind?
208
00:15:54,704 --> 00:15:58,083
Psychiatrist appointments.
He was seeing a shrink.
209
00:15:58,667 --> 00:16:00,544
We need to call
every appointment in that calendar.
210
00:16:01,378 --> 00:16:04,214
Should check
all those circled dates against his GPS.
211
00:16:04,548 --> 00:16:06,007
Yeah.
212
00:16:13,849 --> 00:16:16,560
You pull off that e-cig. Not a lot of people do.
213
00:16:16,643 --> 00:16:20,730
This place gets a day-to-day influx
of 70,000 people, right?
214
00:16:21,439 --> 00:16:22,482
Where do they live?
215
00:16:22,566 --> 00:16:25,902
I tried one once. It felt like it was smoking me.
216
00:16:27,070 --> 00:16:28,947
A real cigarette
wouldn't make you feel like that.
217
00:16:31,533 --> 00:16:36,288
Maybe it was just a little too close
to sucking a robot's dick.
218
00:16:36,371 --> 00:16:37,622
I don't know.
219
00:16:53,638 --> 00:16:55,515
Caspere was my bank on this thing.
220
00:16:55,599 --> 00:16:59,269
My disposal company set this up.
Chemical runoff. We took the risk.
221
00:16:59,352 --> 00:17:02,063
And that risk afforded you
the chance to buy into the corridor.
222
00:17:02,147 --> 00:17:04,232
But I'm telling you, that buy was never made.
223
00:17:04,316 --> 00:17:07,027
Caspere had me down
for 12 parcels below Monterey.
224
00:17:07,110 --> 00:17:10,196
Frank, I can only account
for what purchases Caspere completed.
225
00:17:10,280 --> 00:17:12,741
-Are you saying that I...
-Mr. McCandless,
226
00:17:12,824 --> 00:17:15,869
Mr. Caspere
had effectively sold Mr. Semyon the land
227
00:17:15,952 --> 00:17:18,038
while acting
as a short-term holding company.
228
00:17:18,872 --> 00:17:21,541
All we're trying to do
is ensure the deal for our parcel
229
00:17:21,625 --> 00:17:23,668
goes through despite Caspere's tragedy.
230
00:17:23,752 --> 00:17:26,713
If you got this transaction legally
documented, it shouldn't be hard.
231
00:17:26,796 --> 00:17:28,048
You know we have issues.
232
00:17:28,131 --> 00:17:30,717
If we had a fucking paper trail,
we'd be doing this through banks.
233
00:17:30,800 --> 00:17:33,094
Well, otherwise I'd say
you're in the unenviable position
234
00:17:33,178 --> 00:17:34,679
of being owed money by a dead man.
235
00:17:34,763 --> 00:17:36,723
That's $5 million of my money.
236
00:17:36,806 --> 00:17:40,852
Hold it, we were given to understand
that our partnership was with Catalast.
237
00:17:40,977 --> 00:17:43,063
Had Mr. Caspere made payment,
it would have been.
238
00:17:43,146 --> 00:17:46,107
And your name would have been added
to the corporate charter for the development.
239
00:17:46,191 --> 00:17:48,235
-But he didn't.
-How do I know that?
240
00:17:48,318 --> 00:17:50,153
We're not gangsters, Frank.
241
00:17:50,654 --> 00:17:52,405
This is unacceptable.
242
00:17:52,489 --> 00:17:54,616
Since Caspere's remaining
interests have been voided,
243
00:17:54,699 --> 00:17:57,160
I can provide you the same parcel, same price.
244
00:17:57,243 --> 00:17:59,746
-$7 million.
-The same?
245
00:17:59,829 --> 00:18:00,872
We were quoted 10.
246
00:18:01,039 --> 00:18:02,165
Not by me.
247
00:18:07,128 --> 00:18:08,546
Motherfuck.
248
00:18:09,297 --> 00:18:11,007
Motherfuck me.
249
00:18:12,175 --> 00:18:16,012
We sold off our Vinci assets
to put in with Caspere and...
250
00:18:19,140 --> 00:18:20,225
I went liquid for this deal.
251
00:18:20,308 --> 00:18:22,394
What can I tell you, Frank?
It sounds like Mr. Caspere
252
00:18:22,477 --> 00:18:24,312
was playing fast and loose with your capital.
253
00:18:24,521 --> 00:18:28,024
I can offer you the buy-in again,
but it sounds like you're short.
254
00:18:28,400 --> 00:18:29,484
I can get it back.
255
00:18:29,567 --> 00:18:32,195
Find another stake, it'd be worth your while.
256
00:18:32,696 --> 00:18:33,905
Excuse me.
257
00:18:39,494 --> 00:18:41,788
Shit. Seven, he says?
258
00:18:41,871 --> 00:18:44,291
Seven's the same as ten to me at this point.
259
00:18:44,374 --> 00:18:46,292
Can't round off zero.
260
00:18:56,761 --> 00:18:58,221
Am I diminished?
261
00:18:59,347 --> 00:19:01,641
Is that my message to the goddamn...
262
00:19:05,145 --> 00:19:07,564
My business partner takes my money,
263
00:19:07,939 --> 00:19:09,607
gets tortured and murdered,
264
00:19:10,734 --> 00:19:12,235
and what?
265
00:19:13,278 --> 00:19:16,239
I'm waiting on this Velcoro burnout
to make like Rockford?
266
00:19:20,410 --> 00:19:21,953
Get everybody.
267
00:19:22,037 --> 00:19:25,665
Stan, Ivar, his cousins, our Glendale people.
268
00:19:25,749 --> 00:19:27,459
Fucking Blake, wherever the fuck he's been.
269
00:19:27,542 --> 00:19:29,586
Frank, we can look at your remaining assets.
270
00:19:29,711 --> 00:19:31,588
I don't have any fucking assets.
271
00:19:32,464 --> 00:19:35,050
The house and the poker room
were double mortgaged.
272
00:19:37,927 --> 00:19:39,554
This was fucking everything.
273
00:19:39,763 --> 00:19:42,724
That's what you meant. Frank, why did you...
274
00:19:42,807 --> 00:19:45,143
Leave it. I'll get it back.
275
00:19:47,604 --> 00:19:49,439
Every dime.
276
00:19:50,940 --> 00:19:54,652
That was maybe a month ago.
277
00:19:55,320 --> 00:19:56,696
September.
278
00:19:56,780 --> 00:19:59,407
Celebrated breaking ground
on the Red Line extension,
279
00:19:59,491 --> 00:20:04,496
and the imminent production
of a major Hollywood movie.
280
00:20:04,579 --> 00:20:07,749
Big news for the city. And Ben had a hand...
281
00:20:07,832 --> 00:20:11,127
Could you tell us anything about
Mr. Caspere's demeanor at the party?
282
00:20:11,211 --> 00:20:14,047
Was he with someone? A date?
283
00:20:17,342 --> 00:20:20,178
A woman he had been seeing.
284
00:20:21,930 --> 00:20:23,181
I think.
285
00:20:24,974 --> 00:20:27,644
Can't quite recall her name.
286
00:20:27,727 --> 00:20:31,564
-Ernst?
-A Miss Tascha, I believe, sir.
287
00:20:31,648 --> 00:20:34,401
He see a lot of girls?
Enough you wouldn't know her name?
288
00:20:34,484 --> 00:20:38,113
I believe
Ben maintained an active social life.
289
00:20:39,114 --> 00:20:42,575
We didn't often cross paths that way.
290
00:20:43,326 --> 00:20:45,036
We only met over business.
291
00:20:46,079 --> 00:20:48,414
You wouldn't have any pictures
from the party, sir,
292
00:20:48,498 --> 00:20:50,083
by any chance?
293
00:20:50,458 --> 00:20:52,877
Something to help us identify the girl.
294
00:20:57,382 --> 00:20:59,467
Mr. Caspere was dedicated to his community.
295
00:20:59,551 --> 00:21:02,345
A community of 95 residents.
296
00:21:02,429 --> 00:21:05,765
He did not seem distressed
by anything last you saw him?
297
00:21:05,849 --> 00:21:08,768
No, just the usual headaches.
298
00:21:09,894 --> 00:21:12,689
County can't forgive our independence.
299
00:21:12,772 --> 00:21:16,651
And you didn't talk to him much
outside of business get-togethers?
300
00:21:16,734 --> 00:21:19,737
- And cabinet meetings, occasionally.
- Mmm.
301
00:21:20,655 --> 00:21:23,992
Well, thank you, Your Honor. That'll do us.
302
00:21:24,075 --> 00:21:27,203
Do you recall what time Mr. Caspere
left your house, night of the party?
303
00:21:28,079 --> 00:21:30,582
I believe around 11:00, maybe 12:00.
304
00:21:30,707 --> 00:21:33,126
-Around the time things broke up.
-With Miss Tascha?
305
00:21:34,043 --> 00:21:35,670
Thank you, Your Honor.
306
00:21:35,753 --> 00:21:36,921
Thank you, Detective.
307
00:21:37,463 --> 00:21:40,508
I'd like to see this solved as soon as possible.
308
00:21:45,889 --> 00:21:50,226
Got his bank records, phone calls.
Don't know if he had any of the lines, though.
309
00:21:50,393 --> 00:21:52,478
I'm starting to think
he must have kept other accounts.
310
00:21:52,562 --> 00:21:54,647
Hey, kid, just save it for the debrief.
311
00:21:56,274 --> 00:21:59,611
Why are you here?
You're not even an investigator, right?
312
00:22:01,237 --> 00:22:03,615
Special detail. State owns the case.
313
00:22:03,865 --> 00:22:06,951
Found his lawyer, too.
Had to hump all over LA for this shit.
314
00:22:07,243 --> 00:22:09,454
Oh, and this one fag at the bank
315
00:22:10,288 --> 00:22:12,040
tried, like, hitting on me.
316
00:22:12,790 --> 00:22:14,000
Almost clocked the guy.
317
00:22:14,083 --> 00:22:15,919
Yeah? Why would you do that?
318
00:22:17,420 --> 00:22:20,840
Hey, no trouble here, stud.
Just leave me out of it, all right?
319
00:22:42,779 --> 00:22:44,405
His insurance had these forms.
320
00:22:44,781 --> 00:22:49,369
Items likely stolen from Caspere's place,
we can put out pawn sheets on them.
321
00:22:50,787 --> 00:22:51,829
What'd you guys get?
322
00:22:51,955 --> 00:22:55,333
Oh, the young man here,
he got a dynamite anecdote.
323
00:22:58,002 --> 00:22:59,712
Last withdrawal was five days ago.
324
00:23:00,296 --> 00:23:04,759
Nothing jumps except this.
Once a month, $4,000 cash withdrawal.
325
00:23:10,390 --> 00:23:11,432
Let me see this.
326
00:23:17,814 --> 00:23:19,274
The withdrawals seem
to come around the time
327
00:23:19,357 --> 00:23:21,484
of these blank days in his calendar.
328
00:23:23,361 --> 00:23:25,738
-Did you get his GPS?
-Yeah.
329
00:23:28,032 --> 00:23:29,117
Here.
330
00:23:31,327 --> 00:23:33,037
There's nothing on those dates.
331
00:23:33,162 --> 00:23:36,124
Car didn't go anywhere.
Says his Mercedes was a lease.
332
00:23:36,207 --> 00:23:39,210
-Well, that makes sense.
-Not city. Catalast Group.
333
00:23:39,377 --> 00:23:40,670
Why'd Catalast lease him a car?
334
00:23:45,800 --> 00:23:48,177
Maybe somebody should call them.
335
00:23:56,060 --> 00:23:57,186
You tight with him?
336
00:23:57,854 --> 00:23:59,439
I'm not tight with anybody.
337
00:24:03,234 --> 00:24:05,695
Can I, uh, pick up here tomorrow?
338
00:24:07,196 --> 00:24:08,615
Sure.
339
00:24:25,465 --> 00:24:26,466
I gotta go.
340
00:24:36,559 --> 00:24:38,770
-What?
-These coordinates.
341
00:24:38,853 --> 00:24:40,313
They're up north.
342
00:24:40,605 --> 00:24:43,066
Monterey County, Fresno, Gilroy.
343
00:24:43,566 --> 00:24:45,568
A lot of them on weekends.
344
00:24:57,955 --> 00:24:59,040
Hey.
345
00:25:00,291 --> 00:25:01,751
Where's Chad?
346
00:25:05,797 --> 00:25:07,256
He's not coming.
347
00:25:07,924 --> 00:25:10,259
What? Why?
348
00:25:10,593 --> 00:25:12,929
You're gonna ask me why? Really?
349
00:25:13,054 --> 00:25:14,180
You fucking prick.
350
00:25:14,263 --> 00:25:15,807
What, that thing at the school?
351
00:25:15,890 --> 00:25:17,809
I apologized to Chad,
and it's between me and him.
352
00:25:17,892 --> 00:25:19,102
That's not the end of the story
353
00:25:19,185 --> 00:25:20,186
-and you know it.
-How's that?
354
00:25:20,269 --> 00:25:22,397
The police said that someone
beat up Wit Conroy.
355
00:25:23,106 --> 00:25:25,358
Said it had something
to do with a schoolyard altercation.
356
00:25:25,441 --> 00:25:26,651
Well, I don't know anything about that,
357
00:25:26,776 --> 00:25:29,779
but sometimes a good beating
provokes personal growth.
358
00:25:30,029 --> 00:25:31,906
It's not like you know any other way, right?
359
00:25:32,824 --> 00:25:34,283
God damn it.
360
00:25:34,784 --> 00:25:37,954
Chad gets anxious
when he has to be around you.
361
00:25:38,037 --> 00:25:39,831
Do you get that? Do you even see it?
362
00:25:39,914 --> 00:25:42,291
That's bullshit. We talk,
363
00:25:42,375 --> 00:25:45,211
we build models, we write letters,
I got him this recorder.
364
00:25:45,294 --> 00:25:46,546
And how many times
has he written you back?
365
00:25:46,629 --> 00:25:49,549
He needs me, all right,
even if he doesn't know it.
366
00:25:49,632 --> 00:25:51,509
And if he gets anxious,
it's probably because he knows
367
00:25:51,592 --> 00:25:53,511
he's gonna have to listen to his mom
talk shit about his dad.
368
00:25:53,594 --> 00:25:57,223
You... You're bad, Ray.
369
00:25:57,306 --> 00:25:58,766
You're a bad person.
370
00:25:58,850 --> 00:26:01,436
-And you're bad for my son.
-Don't say that.
371
00:26:02,353 --> 00:26:03,855
You know me.
372
00:26:05,064 --> 00:26:06,983
We had something and...
373
00:26:08,276 --> 00:26:10,445
What I done for you,
things started to slip away from me...
374
00:26:10,528 --> 00:26:14,365
No, you didn't do that for me, Ray.
Don't you dare say that you did that for me.
375
00:26:14,449 --> 00:26:17,827
I had a right by any natural law. I had a right.
376
00:26:24,834 --> 00:26:26,753
I came to tell you this in person.
377
00:26:26,836 --> 00:26:28,546
Richard didn't want me to.
378
00:26:28,838 --> 00:26:31,048
I'm getting an emergency writ
for supervised visits.
379
00:26:31,340 --> 00:26:33,384
What? No.
380
00:26:33,468 --> 00:26:35,178
We're petitioning for sole custody.
381
00:26:36,804 --> 00:26:37,972
What?
382
00:26:38,473 --> 00:26:39,432
No, why?
383
00:26:39,515 --> 00:26:43,352
Because this can't go on. It can't.
384
00:26:44,395 --> 00:26:46,606
I mean, look at yourself.
385
00:26:46,689 --> 00:26:49,275
You will not... No. Please, please, don't.
386
00:26:49,358 --> 00:26:52,528
You used to have something,
a decency.
387
00:26:52,653 --> 00:26:55,072
You were good at being decent
388
00:26:55,156 --> 00:26:57,366
until something happened.
389
00:26:57,867 --> 00:26:59,952
You were fine as long
as everything else was fine.
390
00:27:00,036 --> 00:27:03,623
But then something happened and you
weren't strong enough to stay decent.
391
00:27:03,706 --> 00:27:05,374
-And now...
-You won't get away with it.
392
00:27:05,458 --> 00:27:09,045
I will burn this entire fucking city
to the ground first.
393
00:27:10,713 --> 00:27:13,132
I'll petition for a paternity test, too, Ray.
394
00:27:13,216 --> 00:27:16,302
-If you make me.
-Don't. Please. Please, don't.
395
00:27:16,803 --> 00:27:18,262
Don't do that, please.
396
00:27:18,346 --> 00:27:21,057
God damn it, look, he's all I...
397
00:27:21,432 --> 00:27:22,475
All right, I'm a piece of shit,
398
00:27:22,558 --> 00:27:25,102
but that boy is all I have
in my entire shitty life.
399
00:27:25,603 --> 00:27:27,021
No, babe.
400
00:27:27,563 --> 00:27:29,899
Then don't you know he deserves better?
401
00:28:12,024 --> 00:28:13,359
Oh, fuck. Son of a bitch.
402
00:28:13,442 --> 00:28:16,070
- Some asshole just rear-ended my car.
- Look, you mother...
403
00:28:16,612 --> 00:28:17,780
Fuck.
404
00:28:19,991 --> 00:28:22,118
Fuck!
405
00:28:22,827 --> 00:28:24,161
Son of...
406
00:28:24,245 --> 00:28:25,830
Oh, fuck.
407
00:28:27,790 --> 00:28:30,626
Next time, we put you in trunk.
408
00:28:40,511 --> 00:28:41,971
Fuck!
409
00:28:42,346 --> 00:28:44,724
Jesus, buddy. What was that about?
410
00:28:44,807 --> 00:28:47,935
Oh, God, thank you. Fuckin'...
411
00:28:48,519 --> 00:28:50,438
Why would somebody
come after you like that, guy?
412
00:28:50,521 --> 00:28:51,981
I mean, that was crazy, right?
413
00:28:52,064 --> 00:28:54,692
I don't know. They just...
414
00:28:54,775 --> 00:28:55,943
What did you do to piss somebody off?
415
00:28:56,027 --> 00:28:57,945
-Can you think of anything?
-What does that mean?
416
00:28:58,029 --> 00:28:59,572
I don't know what that means.
I'm asking you.
417
00:28:59,655 --> 00:29:02,658
What you might have did
to get guys like that after you.
418
00:29:03,326 --> 00:29:04,785
Wait, do I know you?
419
00:29:04,869 --> 00:29:07,079
I've never seen you before,
but I saw the whole thing.
420
00:29:07,163 --> 00:29:09,206
And I wish we could figure out what you did.
421
00:29:09,290 --> 00:29:12,084
Like some kind of behavior
that guys like that would have issue with.
422
00:29:12,168 --> 00:29:14,337
Like mouthed off, or made a gesture,
423
00:29:14,420 --> 00:29:16,297
or you run a book in Vinci sweatshops.
424
00:29:16,380 --> 00:29:19,050
What? Is that what this is?
425
00:29:19,133 --> 00:29:21,969
Is what what what is?
Is that what you think this is?
426
00:29:22,053 --> 00:29:25,598
It just seems to me
like you pissed off some serious people.
427
00:29:25,681 --> 00:29:27,975
Maybe you ought to take more care.
428
00:29:28,976 --> 00:29:30,519
Just a thought, pal.
429
00:29:50,289 --> 00:29:53,334
Velcoro and Bezzerides to see Dr. Pitlor.
We called ahead.
430
00:30:18,109 --> 00:30:20,861
-You do surgeries here?
-Only cosmetic.
431
00:30:20,945 --> 00:30:23,364
The clinic employs
a small group of medical professionals
432
00:30:23,447 --> 00:30:25,574
who cover a variety of services.
433
00:30:28,703 --> 00:30:30,287
This is quite a shock.
434
00:30:31,789 --> 00:30:36,794
Anything he might have told you
that indicated trouble, enemies?
435
00:30:38,587 --> 00:30:42,883
The reputation of this clinic
rests on its discretion, Officers.
436
00:30:43,509 --> 00:30:45,511
Confidentiality.
437
00:30:45,845 --> 00:30:49,598
Your patient was murdered.
He's got no living family.
438
00:30:55,396 --> 00:30:57,440
Somebody burned out
his eyes with acid, Doc.
439
00:31:05,948 --> 00:31:09,785
Well, of course I am willing to help.
440
00:31:11,037 --> 00:31:12,455
I would hope I can, at least.
441
00:31:12,830 --> 00:31:14,373
What were you treating him for?
442
00:31:14,457 --> 00:31:18,002
A number of things. Neuroses, anxiety,
443
00:31:18,294 --> 00:31:20,588
a painful past, like many.
444
00:31:22,506 --> 00:31:24,633
-Guilt.
-Guilt over what?
445
00:31:24,717 --> 00:31:27,636
Ben had a weakness for young women.
446
00:31:27,720 --> 00:31:29,889
Paying for them, more specifically.
447
00:31:29,972 --> 00:31:31,557
He frequented escorts,
448
00:31:31,640 --> 00:31:35,061
although it ignited in him
tremendous shame and self-loathing,
449
00:31:35,478 --> 00:31:39,106
which resulted in further
damaging tendencies.
450
00:31:40,775 --> 00:31:43,152
-Old cycles.
-How long had he been seeing you?
451
00:31:44,737 --> 00:31:45,738
About three years.
452
00:31:45,821 --> 00:31:48,491
Was he making any progress, his therapy?
453
00:31:48,574 --> 00:31:51,243
I like to think so.
His relapses were less frequent,
454
00:31:51,327 --> 00:31:54,079
and he didn't compound them
with further damaging behavior.
455
00:31:54,163 --> 00:31:56,665
His habit,
did he ever mention any girls by name?
456
00:31:57,249 --> 00:31:59,543
Favorite service? Favorite girl?
457
00:31:59,627 --> 00:32:03,088
No, not that I recall,
but I'd be willing to go back over my notes.
458
00:32:03,172 --> 00:32:06,717
What about the name Tascha?
He, uh, ever mention her?
459
00:32:08,344 --> 00:32:11,388
Did he ever mention violence?
Trouble with a girl, a pimp?
460
00:32:11,472 --> 00:32:15,101
He was sexually obsessed,
but he was not aggressive.
461
00:32:15,184 --> 00:32:18,562
More passive.
462
00:32:21,398 --> 00:32:25,361
That's about as detailed
as I'll get airing Ben's personal issues.
463
00:32:27,530 --> 00:32:29,698
This was helpful. Thank you.
464
00:32:32,868 --> 00:32:35,746
Your ID said Antigone Bezzerides.
465
00:32:35,830 --> 00:32:39,959
Are you related
to Eliot Bezzerides by any chance?
466
00:32:40,042 --> 00:32:42,670
- You know him?
- I used to, a bit, a long time ago.
467
00:32:42,753 --> 00:32:44,880
I did some social theory
with the Good People.
468
00:32:45,339 --> 00:32:47,216
He had a daughter, I remember.
469
00:32:48,425 --> 00:32:49,635
Good Lord, was that you?
470
00:32:49,885 --> 00:32:51,470
I left all that behind.
471
00:32:52,346 --> 00:32:54,306
It was a fucked-up place.
472
00:32:54,390 --> 00:32:57,309
Well, all kinds of secrets in the world.
473
00:32:57,393 --> 00:32:59,061
All kinds of truth.
474
00:32:59,436 --> 00:33:01,814
Five kids living there when I was growing up.
475
00:33:01,897 --> 00:33:04,150
Two are in jail now, two committed suicide.
476
00:33:04,233 --> 00:33:05,693
How's that for social theory?
477
00:33:06,068 --> 00:33:07,111
And the fifth?
478
00:33:07,528 --> 00:33:09,196
She became a detective.
479
00:33:28,382 --> 00:33:31,802
To curb public speculation
in this homicide,
480
00:33:31,886 --> 00:33:34,179
it's become necessary to announce
that our offices
481
00:33:34,263 --> 00:33:36,015
are conducting a criminal probe
482
00:33:36,098 --> 00:33:39,977
into the incorporated city
of Vinci in LA County.
483
00:33:40,269 --> 00:33:42,438
- This investigation is long overdue.
484
00:33:43,480 --> 00:33:47,943
And we ask all state
and city officials to cooperate...
485
00:33:48,027 --> 00:33:50,779
Attorney General
just announced a shakedown.
486
00:33:55,075 --> 00:33:57,870
-You're not supposed to bring that here.
-It's short 10.
487
00:33:59,663 --> 00:34:03,459
When you took over from Gene Slattery,
we established terms.
488
00:34:03,834 --> 00:34:06,962
Short wasn't part of it, Frank.
489
00:34:07,046 --> 00:34:10,049
I'm pulling some stuff together.
Adding revenue streams.
490
00:34:10,132 --> 00:34:11,342
I just need a couple of weeks.
491
00:34:11,425 --> 00:34:13,928
I sold the rent farms
and waste disposal business
492
00:34:14,011 --> 00:34:15,554
to pull together corridor money.
You know that.
493
00:34:15,638 --> 00:34:17,890
You still owe
the poker room kickback.
494
00:34:17,973 --> 00:34:19,808
Sell some of that land if you need to.
495
00:34:19,975 --> 00:34:22,561
Caspere died with my money in his pocket.
496
00:34:22,645 --> 00:34:27,274
I've had outside interest re: the poker room.
497
00:34:27,358 --> 00:34:29,151
Think they can turn a higher gross.
498
00:34:29,944 --> 00:34:31,946
-Higher vig.
-What outside interest?
499
00:34:32,029 --> 00:34:35,199
Just so you know, it's a seller's market.
500
00:34:37,660 --> 00:34:40,746
You seriously gonna
bust my balls over 10 G's?
501
00:34:40,829 --> 00:34:43,332
I kept this place tight as a drum six years.
502
00:34:44,041 --> 00:34:46,585
Who squashed
the undocumented workers alliance?
503
00:34:46,794 --> 00:34:48,003
That hit and run?
504
00:34:48,128 --> 00:34:51,257
Your son's face was so coke-dusted
he looked like a clown.
505
00:34:51,340 --> 00:34:53,217
Tony, yeah.
506
00:34:56,011 --> 00:34:58,389
My son, I fear,
507
00:34:58,514 --> 00:35:01,475
is losing his fucking mind.
508
00:35:01,684 --> 00:35:03,686
Like his departed mother.
509
00:35:04,436 --> 00:35:08,357
Some people can't handle the deep trip.
510
00:35:08,649 --> 00:35:10,401
I fear he is a destroyer.
511
00:35:10,484 --> 00:35:14,280
In my day, you understand,
it was about consciousness expansion,
512
00:35:14,363 --> 00:35:16,031
tracing the unseen web.
513
00:35:16,991 --> 00:35:19,535
Children are a disappointment.
514
00:35:20,536 --> 00:35:22,705
Remain unfettered, Frank.
515
00:35:24,957 --> 00:35:26,625
They closer on who killed Caspere?
516
00:35:30,713 --> 00:35:33,465
Catalast is taking over his action.
517
00:35:33,549 --> 00:35:34,550
Everything's happening.
518
00:35:35,509 --> 00:35:39,346
My farkakte offspring
I will set up with a club in Oakland.
519
00:35:39,430 --> 00:35:41,432
Let him be a boy prince elsewhere.
520
00:35:41,515 --> 00:35:43,225
Whoever killed Caspere, they have my money.
521
00:35:44,226 --> 00:35:46,395
- How's that?
- The holding company is empty.
522
00:35:46,478 --> 00:35:49,982
The land was never purchased,
and I'm fucked out of my life's work.
523
00:35:50,065 --> 00:35:52,317
Now I need a direction to turn, Austin.
524
00:35:52,401 --> 00:35:54,611
Or I may just start pulling down walls.
525
00:35:56,822 --> 00:35:59,533
That doesn't sound like a smart play, gever.
526
00:36:00,367 --> 00:36:02,328
Innuendo is nobody's friend.
527
00:36:02,494 --> 00:36:05,748
You're not worried whoever did Caspere
might be part of something bigger?
528
00:36:06,248 --> 00:36:08,751
Muscling in on the corridor,
secret handshakes and whatnot.
529
00:36:08,834 --> 00:36:10,377
Ben had his own journey,
530
00:36:10,461 --> 00:36:16,050
and what punched his ticket
could have come from some personal pocket.
531
00:36:17,760 --> 00:36:21,180
Nobody muscles me, Frank.
532
00:36:22,306 --> 00:36:25,017
State attorney will get his piece,
Caspere will get closed,
533
00:36:25,100 --> 00:36:28,812
the world will turn, uncaring of our struggles.
534
00:36:34,068 --> 00:36:35,527
They close Caspere,
535
00:36:36,653 --> 00:36:38,113
I want a tip.
536
00:36:38,197 --> 00:36:40,240
I want time alone with the guy that did it.
537
00:36:43,160 --> 00:36:45,788
You are industrious, Frank.
538
00:36:46,121 --> 00:36:48,248
I want to see you make it through this.
539
00:36:50,125 --> 00:36:51,627
Who wants to move
on the poker room?
540
00:36:51,710 --> 00:36:56,006
Kickback's an extra 15 next week, Frank.
22.50 the week after.
541
00:36:56,090 --> 00:36:57,466
You don't come through then,
542
00:36:58,342 --> 00:37:00,552
I have to entertain other interests.
543
00:37:01,762 --> 00:37:02,971
It's business.
544
00:37:03,806 --> 00:37:05,307
Sure.
545
00:37:18,487 --> 00:37:21,073
Now this is making some sense, right?
546
00:37:21,156 --> 00:37:22,491
It explains his home decor.
547
00:37:22,825 --> 00:37:25,828
Nine to one, the cash withdrawal
every month was a hooker blowout.
548
00:37:25,911 --> 00:37:28,413
Guy's regularly in touch
with criminal elements.
549
00:37:30,999 --> 00:37:32,418
Pimps,
550
00:37:32,876 --> 00:37:34,503
they break in, tortured him somewhere.
551
00:37:34,628 --> 00:37:36,255
Probably trying to get access to assets.
552
00:37:36,338 --> 00:37:37,756
I think it's more twisted than that.
553
00:37:38,340 --> 00:37:40,426
What was done to him, that shit in his house.
554
00:37:40,509 --> 00:37:43,095
He's into a lot of stuff we're just scratching.
555
00:37:43,178 --> 00:37:47,141
Well, we can have Woodrugh
work prosts, escort services.
556
00:37:47,641 --> 00:37:48,725
He'd be smooth for that.
557
00:37:50,853 --> 00:37:52,437
Sure.
558
00:37:56,191 --> 00:37:58,944
You know that expression
about flies and honey?
559
00:37:59,027 --> 00:38:01,613
Hmm. The fuck do I want
with a bunch of flies?
560
00:38:01,697 --> 00:38:03,866
Well, you don't have flies, you can't fly-fish.
561
00:38:18,130 --> 00:38:20,007
What is this fucking place?
562
00:38:21,008 --> 00:38:23,552
Yeah. Suburban flight,
563
00:38:23,886 --> 00:38:26,263
heavy manufacturing
moves inland or overseas,
564
00:38:26,346 --> 00:38:28,223
plants close.
565
00:38:28,307 --> 00:38:32,269
Except here, a bunch of good capitalists
ran in for cheap leases, tax incentives,
566
00:38:32,561 --> 00:38:34,938
immigrant labor, sweatshop economics.
567
00:38:35,022 --> 00:38:36,356
You don't have a problem with that?
568
00:38:36,440 --> 00:38:40,652
No, my strong suspicion is
we get the world we deserve.
569
00:38:45,157 --> 00:38:47,242
Why are you here? This place?
570
00:38:48,869 --> 00:38:51,371
I did time in the LA Sheriffs.
571
00:38:52,539 --> 00:38:54,416
I just needed better pay.
572
00:38:55,083 --> 00:38:56,418
Regular hours.
573
00:38:57,878 --> 00:39:00,380
I had a son.
574
00:39:04,885 --> 00:39:06,720
They told you about me, I'm sure.
575
00:39:06,929 --> 00:39:09,431
Yeah, bosses said you're a solid investigator.
576
00:39:09,640 --> 00:39:12,809
I know you wouldn't think it,
but I don't bullshit.
577
00:39:12,976 --> 00:39:14,269
What would you say if you did?
578
00:39:14,353 --> 00:39:15,854
Can I tell you what you
may or may not have heard,
579
00:39:15,938 --> 00:39:18,774
but almost definitely will hear
about my busted marriage?
580
00:39:18,857 --> 00:39:21,485
Rumors have me
killing this piece of filth who hurt my wife.
581
00:39:21,568 --> 00:39:23,612
Same rumors put me in hock
to a Southland mob.
582
00:39:23,695 --> 00:39:25,489
And if you know who to ask,
you might hear I like to get wet
583
00:39:25,572 --> 00:39:26,865
now and then from a number of bad habits.
584
00:39:26,949 --> 00:39:28,700
-Any of that true?
-Oh, yeah.
585
00:39:28,784 --> 00:39:31,662
-Which parts?
-Bad habits.
586
00:39:33,664 --> 00:39:35,457
Never lost one yet.
587
00:39:37,376 --> 00:39:38,377
You?
588
00:39:38,585 --> 00:39:41,380
Oh, I don't distinguish
between good and bad habits.
589
00:39:42,673 --> 00:39:44,007
What's with all the knives?
590
00:39:44,091 --> 00:39:46,385
Could you do this job
if everyone you encountered
591
00:39:46,468 --> 00:39:49,012
could physically overpower you?
592
00:39:49,096 --> 00:39:50,722
I mean, forget police work.
593
00:39:50,806 --> 00:39:52,849
No man could walk around like that
without going nuts.
594
00:39:52,933 --> 00:39:55,227
So, they're equalizers. Makes sense.
595
00:39:55,310 --> 00:39:57,813
No, I'd still wear them
even if I wasn't on the job.
596
00:39:58,814 --> 00:40:00,607
Fundamental difference between the sexes
597
00:40:00,691 --> 00:40:04,069
is that one of them
can kill the other with their bare hands.
598
00:40:04,653 --> 00:40:07,990
Man of any size lays hands on me,
he's gonna bleed out in under a minute.
599
00:40:10,534 --> 00:40:13,453
Well, just so you know, I support feminism.
600
00:40:13,996 --> 00:40:16,290
Mostly by having body image issues.
601
00:40:23,130 --> 00:40:25,590
What's that thing Pitlor mentioned?
602
00:40:25,674 --> 00:40:27,676
Your dad, the Good People?
603
00:40:28,427 --> 00:40:33,181
It was this, like, commune around Guerneville
in the late '70s, '80s.
604
00:40:33,974 --> 00:40:35,392
Hippie shit.
605
00:40:36,685 --> 00:40:38,729
You had to look out for yourself, huh?
606
00:40:47,154 --> 00:40:48,989
That's you.
607
00:41:05,130 --> 00:41:09,676
Look, I'm, uh, trying
to effect transparency between us.
608
00:41:09,760 --> 00:41:11,428
The reason being...
609
00:41:13,555 --> 00:41:15,307
I don't know if you know this,
610
00:41:15,390 --> 00:41:18,769
but us, the investigation,
611
00:41:18,852 --> 00:41:20,354
I don't think it's supposed to work.
612
00:41:21,146 --> 00:41:24,066
-Why is that?
-State attorney's investigation.
613
00:41:24,149 --> 00:41:27,194
They must have tapped you.
You know, the kid, too.
614
00:41:27,277 --> 00:41:29,696
Why wouldn't they have
a team of state grand jury investigators
615
00:41:29,780 --> 00:41:32,157
working Vinci instead of just you and the kid?
616
00:41:32,240 --> 00:41:35,285
Why wouldn't the SA
do a full-court press on this?
617
00:41:39,873 --> 00:41:41,500
You want honest?
618
00:41:42,084 --> 00:41:44,336
Tell me, how compromised are you?
619
00:41:54,846 --> 00:41:57,808
Anyways, good night.
620
00:42:32,342 --> 00:42:35,053
What is that? Why didn't you tell me?
621
00:42:37,305 --> 00:42:39,099
- What the fuck?
- Hmm?
622
00:42:42,519 --> 00:42:45,397
'Cause that right there
is a bunch of unbridled horseshit.
623
00:42:45,856 --> 00:42:47,983
You've read about the girl.
624
00:42:48,066 --> 00:42:51,736
Goes to jail for one more fuckup,
tries to say I did something wrong.
625
00:42:51,820 --> 00:42:52,904
That's it.
626
00:42:52,988 --> 00:42:56,032
-Then why didn't you tell me?
-'Cause I don't want to think about it.
627
00:42:56,116 --> 00:42:57,576
-Are you gonna lose your job?
-No.
628
00:42:57,993 --> 00:42:59,995
I got a new assignment
through the state attorney.
629
00:43:00,495 --> 00:43:02,164
I'm gonna be a detective after.
630
00:43:02,330 --> 00:43:05,876
Listen, this paper talks about you
being in this Black Mountain Security thing.
631
00:43:05,959 --> 00:43:09,337
I told you, I don't talk about the desert.
632
00:43:09,880 --> 00:43:12,507
But this Black Mountain Security,
they did things, bad...
633
00:43:24,019 --> 00:43:26,521
So that's it? You're just...
You're just taking off?
634
00:43:26,605 --> 00:43:28,815
Come on, I just told you.
635
00:43:28,899 --> 00:43:31,818
I gotta go to LA to work for a while.
636
00:43:31,902 --> 00:43:34,488
Special detail. Special investigator.
637
00:43:34,571 --> 00:43:36,698
-That's it.
-God, you smell like a bar rag.
638
00:43:37,282 --> 00:43:39,534
They say vodka don't smell,
but that's bullshit.
639
00:43:39,993 --> 00:43:41,620
You smell just like my uncle.
640
00:43:41,703 --> 00:43:43,538
I'm just going down south a while.
641
00:43:44,039 --> 00:43:46,082
-Mmm-hmm.
-That's it.
642
00:43:46,374 --> 00:43:48,543
-And your apartment?
-Still there, Em.
643
00:43:52,047 --> 00:43:53,590
What are you doing?
644
00:43:59,095 --> 00:44:02,432
I can't do this anymore. I tried.
645
00:44:06,269 --> 00:44:07,729
It's work.
646
00:44:08,688 --> 00:44:10,565
It's a good thing, Em.
647
00:44:10,649 --> 00:44:11,983
No.
648
00:44:13,401 --> 00:44:14,861
You barely talk.
649
00:44:15,821 --> 00:44:18,156
I don't know your family.
You don't want to know mine.
650
00:44:18,240 --> 00:44:19,449
-Who are you?
-Oh, fuck off.
651
00:44:19,533 --> 00:44:21,076
Who the fuck am I supposed to be?
652
00:44:21,159 --> 00:44:23,411
-I don't know who you're supposed to be.
-Jesus Christ.
653
00:44:23,495 --> 00:44:26,164
Yeah, fuck off. Go.
654
00:44:27,123 --> 00:44:29,793
God, whatever happened to you, I can't fix it.
655
00:44:31,253 --> 00:44:33,255
There's nothing wrong with me.
656
00:44:34,965 --> 00:44:36,716
I'll call you this weekend.
657
00:44:37,551 --> 00:44:40,512
Don't. I don't want to hear from you, Paul.
658
00:44:40,595 --> 00:44:42,013
You can't give me more than this.
659
00:44:42,764 --> 00:44:44,599
You're not... You're not right.
660
00:44:45,642 --> 00:44:49,020
Sometimes I'm with you and I can tell that...
661
00:44:51,606 --> 00:44:53,024
Fuck it.
662
00:44:53,108 --> 00:44:54,526
I gotta go.
663
00:44:54,609 --> 00:44:56,528
Don't come back.
664
00:44:56,778 --> 00:44:59,865
It's on you, not me.
665
00:45:00,907 --> 00:45:02,909
I can't see you again, Paul.
666
00:45:03,285 --> 00:45:04,870
You hurt me seeing you.
667
00:45:07,747 --> 00:45:09,291
You're doing this.
668
00:45:10,292 --> 00:45:11,960
This isn't me doing this.
669
00:45:13,128 --> 00:45:14,671
This isn't me.
670
00:46:17,359 --> 00:46:18,735
Frank.
671
00:46:19,194 --> 00:46:21,279
Surprised you're visiting
this pit you stuck me with.
672
00:46:22,030 --> 00:46:23,531
It's hard work up in here.
673
00:46:24,407 --> 00:46:27,077
I gotta say, being back in here, I don't miss it.
674
00:46:27,702 --> 00:46:30,705
-Seems like a headache looking back.
-Fucking right, it's a headache.
675
00:46:30,872 --> 00:46:34,292
Vendors, purchase orders, licenses.
676
00:46:34,376 --> 00:46:37,170
Every one of these bitches
think that she's Pretty Woman.
677
00:46:39,839 --> 00:46:44,135
I need to know if any of your girls knew a guy,
liked young trim.
678
00:46:45,053 --> 00:46:47,764
- Maybe, like, a few months ago.
Mmm-hmm.
679
00:46:47,847 --> 00:46:49,891
He booked a date at his place.
680
00:46:51,851 --> 00:46:54,521
In Vinci? The big house?
681
00:46:56,231 --> 00:47:00,402
No, this place small. In Hollywood.
Took-over home.
682
00:47:00,485 --> 00:47:01,820
You remember where it was?
683
00:47:02,737 --> 00:47:04,572
Go ahead, girl, speak.
684
00:47:07,701 --> 00:47:09,285
I write them down.
685
00:47:09,703 --> 00:47:14,040
Danny says you pay attention to streets,
always know where you are.
686
00:47:16,126 --> 00:47:19,796
This guy, he do anything scary?
687
00:47:19,879 --> 00:47:21,339
Anything might have pissed somebody off?
688
00:47:21,423 --> 00:47:25,385
No. He kind of weak, you say?
689
00:47:26,136 --> 00:47:28,596
Just, uh, want to watch.
690
00:47:28,805 --> 00:47:30,306
Write it down where you met him.
691
00:47:35,353 --> 00:47:38,440
I hope this goodwill
does not go unnoticed on your end, Frank.
692
00:47:39,065 --> 00:47:40,984
Everybody needs friends, see?
693
00:47:47,490 --> 00:47:49,868
This is Hollywood Division Vice Squad.
694
00:47:49,951 --> 00:47:52,412
Please leave your message
after the beep and we'll get back to you.
695
00:47:53,621 --> 00:47:58,376
This is Detective Bezzerides
with state police detail 93009.
696
00:47:58,460 --> 00:48:01,129
I was hoping to speak with a vice detective...
697
00:48:01,212 --> 00:48:03,965
If you are satisfied
with your message, press one.
698
00:49:11,866 --> 00:49:14,202
- Yeah.
- Уо, you remember that missing girl?
699
00:49:14,327 --> 00:49:15,745
I talked to her old roommate.
700
00:49:15,829 --> 00:49:18,122
Said Vera last called her a couple months ago.
701
00:49:18,206 --> 00:49:19,916
Asked if anybody had
come around looking for her.
702
00:49:20,375 --> 00:49:23,878
I checked her phone records and a call
came from a Guerneville address.
703
00:49:24,546 --> 00:49:25,630
How's it going down there?
704
00:49:25,713 --> 00:49:27,715
It's a pain in the ass, you know?
705
00:49:27,799 --> 00:49:31,594
Not much so far. It's, um...
Might be a hooker job, some pimp.
706
00:49:32,303 --> 00:49:34,931
Let me let you go. Catch up tomorrow?
707
00:49:35,014 --> 00:49:36,432
Sure.
708
00:49:36,516 --> 00:49:38,101
Bye.
709
00:50:00,373 --> 00:50:02,083
Wait for me!
710
00:51:01,643 --> 00:51:02,810
How's that for detecting?
711
00:51:03,311 --> 00:51:06,606
Caspere had another house.
Place he brought girls.
712
00:51:06,689 --> 00:51:09,317
-You check it out?
-No, I don't want to go near it.
713
00:51:09,400 --> 00:51:12,403
And my people
ain't exactly proficient in evidence handling.
714
00:51:12,487 --> 00:51:13,947
Figured you'd go in as police,
715
00:51:14,030 --> 00:51:16,074
see what you can,
see what I might need to know.
716
00:51:16,157 --> 00:51:19,202
Grab anything that pushed towards Caspere's
dealing with land purchases.
717
00:51:19,369 --> 00:51:21,079
Yeah, what's going on with that?
718
00:51:21,162 --> 00:51:24,082
Money. Place is about to be worth
a whole lot more.
719
00:51:24,624 --> 00:51:27,126
- This is Hollywood.
- So?
720
00:51:27,210 --> 00:51:28,920
Listen, I've been wanting to ask you,
721
00:51:30,630 --> 00:51:32,423
things shake out like I expect,
722
00:51:32,507 --> 00:51:37,387
this time next year,
you might be Chief of PD, Vinci.
723
00:51:38,221 --> 00:51:39,347
How'd that be?
724
00:51:39,514 --> 00:51:41,766
Chief? I don't want that, Frank.
725
00:51:41,849 --> 00:51:44,435
Did I ask you if you want that?
What's up with you, huh?
726
00:51:44,519 --> 00:51:46,813
I'm lining stuff up for you here.
727
00:51:46,896 --> 00:51:48,523
That job pays 300K a year.
728
00:51:48,690 --> 00:51:51,025
You could hire
a hell of a family lawyer for that.
729
00:51:51,818 --> 00:51:54,862
That right there.
730
00:51:57,699 --> 00:51:59,325
You, uh...
731
00:51:59,409 --> 00:52:02,620
You remember how we got together?
732
00:52:02,704 --> 00:52:04,163
I remember you dumping a body.
733
00:52:04,247 --> 00:52:08,209
The reasons for all this, all that,
734
00:52:08,710 --> 00:52:12,213
might not exist for me anymore. You see?
735
00:52:14,048 --> 00:52:16,384
I got no reason to keep at this.
736
00:52:16,884 --> 00:52:20,596
Meaning you'd consider life in prison,
what, a positive?
737
00:52:20,763 --> 00:52:22,473
No, I ain't saying that either.
738
00:52:22,724 --> 00:52:25,101
What, you have other options here
I'm not privy to?
739
00:52:25,184 --> 00:52:27,395
Everybody's got the one option,
740
00:52:27,770 --> 00:52:29,564
you want it bad enough.
741
00:52:31,274 --> 00:52:32,608
You used to be a hard man.
742
00:52:32,692 --> 00:52:35,236
-I'm tired.
-Then get some sleep.
743
00:52:35,611 --> 00:52:37,405
After you check the place out.
744
00:52:38,823 --> 00:52:40,199
Get back to me.
745
00:52:41,159 --> 00:52:42,410
And, Ray?
746
00:52:46,039 --> 00:52:48,666
I don't want to hear you talk like that again.
747
00:53:02,430 --> 00:53:03,598
You want another beer, Ray?
748
00:53:04,098 --> 00:53:07,393
No, I, uh, gotta take off, I guess.
749
00:53:07,852 --> 00:53:08,936
He's keeping you busy.
750
00:53:10,605 --> 00:53:11,856
Yes, ma'am.
751
00:53:21,616 --> 00:53:23,076
You ought to take some time.
752
00:53:23,576 --> 00:53:25,119
A vacation.
753
00:53:25,203 --> 00:53:27,121
Have you ever been to San Miguel de Allende?
754
00:53:27,205 --> 00:53:29,040
-No.
-That's where I'm from.
755
00:53:29,457 --> 00:53:33,836
Mountains, waterfalls, this plaza.
756
00:53:33,920 --> 00:53:36,464
Well, that sounds really nice.
757
00:53:37,173 --> 00:53:39,258
Maybe I could show it to you sometime.
758
00:53:39,509 --> 00:53:43,054
I think the only way I get a vacation
is if I croak.
759
00:53:43,137 --> 00:53:45,223
You should get another job, then.
760
00:53:45,306 --> 00:53:46,974
It's too late for that, darlin'.
761
00:53:48,935 --> 00:53:50,812
That and about a million other things.
762
00:53:57,985 --> 00:53:59,028
Your money.
763
00:54:02,073 --> 00:54:03,533
That's not mine.
