[ helicopter blades whirring ]

[ sirens wailing ]

Flynn: we'll check out
These two addresses.

You get this one.
Let me know what you find out.

Go! Go!

[ tires squeal ]

I'm gonna
Chat these people up.

Thank you.

Look, I'm gonna ask for
Some patience here, all right?

We'll have people come out
And speak to you.

[ tires screech ]

Her name is ruby williams.
She's 8 years old.

Her teacher said she went home
For lunch around noon.

When she didn't show up,
Her mom called the school,

Called
All of ruby's friends.

Nobody had seen her,
So at 12:29, she called 911.

That was
Nearly 90 minutes ago.

Responding officers
Checked the house,

Started retracing
Ruby's route from school.

No sign of her. At 1:00, they
Called for additional units.

Have we started a grid search
Of the neighborhood?

Yes, ma'am -- stopping every
Car, knocking on every door.

That have rolled out
From hollywood, wilshire,

And northeast division
To lend a hand,

And the fbi is here, too.

Afternoon.

All these
Different divisions,

There's no time
For a turf war, sergeant.

Everybody knows --
A child goes missing,

Priority homicide
Runs the show.

All right, then.
Thank you.

Gentlemen.

Good afternoon.

All right,
It's just after 2:00 p.M.,

Which means that ruby williams
Has been missing for two hours.

We'll start with the family,
And we'll work our way out.

The fbworking up profiles
On possible suspects.

What are the chances
She's still alive come sundown?

Saying someone found
This little girl with a friend

Under no circumstances
Do we use the word "Homicide"

In front of this family.

[ dog barking ]

Do the williamses
Have a computer?

Did we get permission
To take it?

I did a background check
On mom, dad, uncles --

No criminal record.

That's ruby's older brother,
Carlton.

He was supposed to
Walk her home, but he forgot.

Says he was
Playing video games.

We may be talking to him
Again later.

Mr. And mrs. Williams,
I'm deputy chief johnson.

I think you've already met
Sergeant gabriel.

We need to ask you
A few questions about ruby.

We've already talked
To four different people.

And I hope we're the last.
I really do.

Mrs. Williams, I know
You're going through an ordeal,

But I need you
To help me.

Will you please
Help me?

Mr. Williams, is ruby allowed
On the internet?

I don't let
Either of my kids go online

Unless there's a school project,
And then I supervise.

Her teachers love her.
She makes a's and b's.

Only reason
She's doing summer school

Is so that she can play
The violin.

She's got a solo
In the fall concert.

[ voice breaking ]
There she is, in the backyard,

Getting ready
For the easter pageant.

Thank you, grandma.
We love the dress.

Look at her.

She's a, um...
She's a beautiful little girl.

"Ode to joy."

With the other children
Hasin the neighborhood?

Does she have a relationship
With any of her grandparents?

My parents passed away
Wa before ruby was born.

Randall's mother
Lives in texas...

With my sister.
Ruby sees her at christmastime.

Has ruby been having any trouble
With her older brother?

How about
Noyou and your wife?

Ruby's got a good home here.
She's a happy little girl.

And we always tell her,

"If a stranger
Talks to you funny...

You run."

"Run, run, run!"

"Run, run, run."

[ sobs ]
[ violin plays ]

[ applause ]

We're gonna bring
Your little girl home.

I promise you that.

Pick it up.

[ dog whines ]

Thank you.

My gut tells me no.

Whatever resources you need,
You got it.

Look, will, I just don't think
The mother's in any shape

To go in front of the cameras
Right now.

Listen, brenda, assuming
The worst, this can only help.

You know
Most child abductors

Don't see their victims
As real people.

Let's let this guy see
What kind of pain he's causing.

[ sighs ]

All right.

This is my baby girl.

Her name is ruby williams.

If anyone out there
Knows anything,

If anyone saw her...

[ sobbing ] my baby!
Oh, my --

I want my baby.
Please.

I want my baby girl.

Find my ruby.

Oh, my lord,
Where's my baby?

Uh, the, uh, lapd
Is seeking information

Regarding the disappearance
Of 8-year-old ruby williams.

She was last seen
Walking home from school

Nearly three hours ago.

Have we gotten anything useful
From the neighborhood canvass?

I'm entering data
From every field interview

Into the system
As fast as I can get it.

Let's see -- we have
Three different people

Saw a green truck
By the school around noon.

I also have a blue van,

A suspicious
Brown delivery vehicle,

And an ice-cream truck.

Yeah, we found
The green truck

We interviewed the ice-creame
Man, and he was gone by 11:00.

Hey, mike, you can cross off
The brown delivery truck, too.

Driver was uploading downtown
Between 12:00 and 1:30.

Supervisor backs him up.

Neighbor saw it parked
On the street three days ago.

When she tried to get a better
Look, the driver took off.

She see his face?

White guy,
Kind of average-looking.

That doesn't give us
Much to go on.

Hang on, chief.
I have a blue van.

Guy here saw it twice
This morning on this street.

Hey, chief --
Does silver count?

I got a white male
In a silver/blue van

Around 11:30
This morning.

What's the fastest way
Out of this neighborhood?

This is the route
From ruby's school to her house.

Then I got two exits.

I can either go this way --
I'm on the 101 in 10 minutes --

He heads north
Right into griffith park.

Then I can be at the 134
Or 5 freeways in 10 minutes.

Okay, these streets
Are businesses.

Maybe some of them
Have security cameras.

Look at every vehicle entering
And exiting the neighborhood

From 9:00 a.M. To 2:00 p.M.
Today.

Lieutenant provenza,
Please contact the city

About whoever runs
The traffic cameras.

Maybe our blue van
Ran a red light.

Lieutenant flynn --
Detective sanchez
Is with the k-9 unit.

Dogs found something.

[ vehicle approaches ]

[ car doors open, close ]

Buzz, would you
Document this, please?

Ohh. This is bad.
This is very bad.

Detective, didn't the search
Team cover this area already?

They checked the road
From the girl's school,

But this alley's
A dead end.

The dogs led us here.

Okay.

Ruby was doing exactly
What her parents told her to do.

The driver
Must have come up on her

Maybe tried to talk her in
The car, maybe a blitz attack.

Either way, she ran, and this
Is where she was grabbed.

See how her sleeves
Are inside out?

She was pulled
Right out of her jacket.

I got your blue van.

At 10:32 a.M.,

The van heads north
On hillhurst,

Passing
This liquor store.

Now, this film
Is from the same camera,

But 32 minutes later,
He's going the other way.

Here he comes again at 11:39,
Going back the other way.

He was trolling.
Right.

Now, we don't pick him up
On this camera again.

On the other side
Of the neighborhood, here,

Six blocks from where
You guys found the jacket.

This mini-mall camera
Picks him up at 12:21:23 --

21 minutes
After ruby left school.

Next clean shot we get of him
Is here -- 12:21:46.

He is leaving
The neighborhood.

Can't see the driver.

And here he is approaching
This intersection at 12:22:02.

Buzz: chief,
Think I got a plate number.

12:22:08, our blue van
Cuts through the gas station

At the red light.

Brenda:
Oh, he was in a hurry.

Make this bigger.

Okay -- 4dlx401.

Give me three seconds.

Let me print it out.

I got a vin number
And a name.

Roger a. Stimple.

Studio city address.

Does mr. Stimple
Have a rap sheet?

It's almost 4:00.

Guys, roger stimple is on parole
For sexual battery.

Have a parole officer meet us
At his address.

Commander taylor, please
Take over the command post.L.

Detective daniels, every bit of
Information comes through you.

Thank you.
Everyone else...

Van looks empty,
Chief.

Doesn't mean
She wasn't in there.

Detective sanchez,
Maybe he didn't hear us.

Would you mind
Giving it a try?

Get out!

Are you roger stimple?

Yeah.

Are you home alone, sir?

Hey, you guys
Can't go in there!Uby?

I'm afraid we can, sir.

As a condition
Of your parole,

You signed a consent form
Allowing searches

Of your person, property,
And residence without a warrant.

Go on.

Kitchen's clear!

Is that your blue van
Over there?Find it.

Yeah.

Man:
Find it. Find it.

Gabriel: lieutenant.

Stimple:
Why can't you leave me alone?

[ sighs ]

Okay.

Can anyone verify that?
No.

Did anyone borrow your van
While you were sleeping?

This ain't fair.
Answer the question!

No! You guys
Keep picking on me!

Mr. Stimple...

Why can't you
Leave me alone?

I was minding
My own business.

Find it.
You don't have the right!

Find it.

[ barking ]

We get anything
From the suspect's van?

Brenda:
Mr. Stimple, your rights
Were read to you in the car.

What about the car under
The tarp? Is that his, too?

1977 mercury cougar.
In less than mint condition.

There's no way he's keeping
A clunker like that under canvas

Chief johnson is having them
Tear it apart right now.

I'm gonna do my best
To get you through this
As quickly as possible.

But first, is there anyone
You'd like us to call?

Your wife
Or your girlfriend?

I don't have
A girlfriend.

What about your boss?

I was laid off
Three weeks ago.

Oh.
That's too bad.

What were you doing?

I was landscaping.

Mostly mow and blow.

What do you do now?
For work, I mean.

It's not that easy
To get a job

As a registered
Sex offender...Is it?

You're referring to your
Conviction for sexual battery.

Some girl
Says I groped her...

And I get 2 1/2 years.

Now I got to move again --

After you guys dragged me
Out of my house in handcuffs.

All because
A dog barked at my van.

That must be
Very frustrating.

Especially after you've already
Served your time in prison.

No matter what I do...

Nobody trusts me.

Oh, my mother's gonna think
This is my fault.

Why is that?

When I got fired, she said
She didn't want me to come home

And not to bother her
Anymore.

She didn't even want to hear
My side of the story.

"Blame roger first."

That's her mantro.

Or motto or whatever.

That's terrible.

That is so unfair.

When the rest of the world
Lets you down,

You should always be able
To count on your mother.

She's supposed to love you
No matter what.

And right now,
There's another little girl...

That I'm sure would like
To talk to her mother and can't.

Might have heard about her
On the news.

Little girl
Went missing today.

I'm sure her mother is just
Desperate to hear her voice.

And I-I feel strongly
That you can help us with this,

Because
You were driving around

In the neighborhood
Where she went missing.

So if you know anything
Or you saw anything,

I'd really like to know.

Roger.

You know where I might find
This little girl? Niffles

[ sniffles ]

What little girl?

Her name
Is ruby williams.

She's 8 years old.

She likes to play
The violin.

And this afternoon,
On her way home from school,

She was abducted.

She was in your van!

If something happened, I want to
Help you figure this out.

This is your chance
To explain yourself.

I want a lawyer.

Interview over.

I'll be right back.

[ door opens ]

[ chair thuds ]

Fritz, are we any closer
To finding the girl?

Hang on, will.

Didn't get anything from the van
Or the apartment?

No. No.
He's lawyered up.

And I need something
That ties him to ruby williams,

Other than the testimony
Of a german shepherd.

Don't look at me
Like that.

And how would you like me
To look at you?

Don't judge me.

I know that look.

Well, you know, I know a little
Something about looks, too.

Looking at you...

You know something
About this little girl.

She's not that little.

Oh, really?

You see, everyone...Pretends
Kids...Don't want sex.

But they do.

You remember
When you were a kid?

That's all
You thought about.

There's nothing wrong
With it.

It's biology.

And besides...

Black girls
Are different.

Is that right?

I mean, look at her.

Black girls are
Way more sexually mature

Than white girls.

That's why
They have kids so young.

You probably grew up
Swimming in black ass.

It's the way they walk.

Shake...Shake...

Shakin' their thing.

But the chief said no.
Kill the fi said kill it!

Do not leave this room!

Why not?

Because sergeant gabriel...

Is about to make a break
In the case.

No, detective daniels, don't say
Anything to the family yet.

Could be a hoax.

No, no. He wouldn't tell me.
He told sergeant gabriel.

Yes, it is amazing.

Uh, it doesn't matter
Who he told -- we know.

Send four black-and-whites
To the vermont canyon entrance

By the pay phones
At the rest area.

And, uh, send the k-9s.

Sergeant gabriel,
Just to be clear --

Roger said
That he left ruby at the park.

He didn't say that she was dead.
Is that right?

[ tires screech ]

Where are the phones?
Where are the phones?!

[ groans ]

Ruby!

Ruby!

Damn it!

[ dogs barking ]

[ gasps ]

[ helicopter blades whirring ]

[ wails ]

She's 8 years old!

Mrs. Williams: no!!

No!!

No!!

No!!

In my office.

What did you do?

We found her, didn't we?
Doesn't matter what I did.

Nothing matters more.

Roger stimple
Didn't look like that

When I left
The interview room.

So, I need to know,
Sergeant --

Did you beat
The suspect?

That is not something
He desethat you get to decide

On your own
In an interview room

Are you seriously
Taking his side? Your fists.

He killed her.
I got a confession.

You got an admission.

Roger told you
Where to find her.

Not that he took her,
Not that he killed her.

And since you beat
That admission out of him,

A jury won't be able
To hear it anyway.

I promised that mother I was
Gonna bring her daughter home.

And that's exactly
What I was trying to do.

You committed
A criminal act.

When roger gets a lawyer
And tells him what you did

And I.A.
Hears his complaint...

What about your future?

Well, what do you --
What do you want me to do now?

Just go home.

Wait till
You hear from me.

[ sighs ]

It's the way they walk.

Shake...Shake...

Shakin' their thing.

Buzz, why did you stop
The taping?

I thought
When you, uh, left the room,

The interview was over.

I have made myself
Perfectly clear --

Unless I stop that tape
Myself,

It stays on as long as
The suspect is in the room.

Chief...

I killed the feed.

Why?

Because...

I thought
It was a good idea.

Lieutenant, I want you
To take charge of the prisoner.

And gets medical attention
Maif he needs it.D

We don't have to book him
Or let him see his lawyer

Until he's arraigned, which
Means we have less than 43 hours

To tie him to ruby's murder
Some other way.

I want the squad working,
But no one sees this tape

Or knows about
What sergeant gabriel has done.

Have I made myself
Very clear?

Yes, ma'am.

Thanks.

Listen, your instincts
About roger's second car

Were right on.

Just like roger's --
Same blue paint on the bumper --

Tied to two separate abductions
Five years ago,

Before our guy went to jail
On that sexual-battery charge.

Two girls, african-american,
Ages 9 and 11.

They were never found.

So ruby wasn't
His first victim.

Well,
Last few years on parole

Must have been
A cooling-off period.

But he just lost his job, and
You said his family cut him off?

He's got some kind
Of a...Mother thing.

Yeah, just the kind of
Stressor events to set him off.

I should have never left gabriel
Alone in that room.

I saw how mad he was.

I knew he was upset.

You told pope about it
Yet?

No.

I'm still looking
For a way out.

Well, you tie roger stimple
To these other missing girls...

[ knock on door ]

It's okay. It's okay.

Detective.
You're working late.

We found out
That the landscaping firm

Where roger stimple
Used to work

Had a contract at the park
Where ruby was found.

Couldn't you have called with
This information, detective?

May I come in?

I'm not sure
What david told you.

But he knows
What he did was wrong.

Well, that's a start.

Please do not let this be
The last thing he does

As a police officer.

That may not be up to me.

As soon as the suspect shows up
In court with his lawyer,

David's actions
Are gonna be front and center,

And the only way out of this
Is gonna be for me to lie.

Is that
What you want me to do?

You know, I wonder.

Would you be here
Pleading david's case

If y'all weren't dating?

But we are dating.

I don't want to talk about that.
I don't want to discuss it.

[ sighs ]

Chief...

I know that
You and commander taylor

Have a complicated
Relationship.

But he cares a lot
About david,

And sometimes...

He has solutions
To these kinds of things.

Chief...We checked
Stimple's home computer.

No sign of pornography --
Child or other.

30-year-old single man
Lives alone -- no pornography.

Now, that's suspicious.

Matches the padlock
On the fence at the park.

Match the prints we found
In the park's bathroom.

That's probably
Where he raped her.

Roger's dna is on file
From previous busts.

It'll take a few days
To get a match.

Okay, what about
The two other missing girls?

I'm checking their case files
Against roger's mercury

And his whereabouts
Five years ago.

If our scumbag
Killed those girls,

He probably buried them
In the park.

He knows the place
Inside and out.

Then why didn't he
Bury ruby?

He probably panicked
When he heard our helicopters,

I'm telling you, chief --
Lefthose girls are out there.

Griffith park
Is over 4,000 acres.

We'd never find them
Without roger's help.

So, we get him to tell us.

It worked with ruby. Why not
Iwith these previous two girls?

Get gabriel,
Have him talk to him --

It's not...That...Simple.

Well, then,
What am I missing?

Excuse me, everyone.

I wanted to, uh,
Thank all of you personally

For your hard work
And dedication.

I know it's, uh...

It's just awful

When an investigation
Ends the way this one did.

Phd handled it quickly,
Professionally,

And you got a predator
Off the street.

Thank you,
Chief pope.

Do we have a booking photo
Of the suspect?

I'd like to release it
To the press.

Uh...There's been
A...Slight complication.

What's that?

Well, there's some question
As to whether roger's confession

Came after he invoked
His right to counsel.

I don't understand that.
If he invoked, he invoked.

If he confessed,
He revoked, right?

Uh, it fell
Somewhere in between.

And, unfortunately,
We didn't get it on tape.

It doesn't hurt us too bad,
But the thing is, chief,

We think
This guy roger's responsible

For at least
Two other child abductions.

We don't want
To taint other witnesses

By releasing roger's photo.

So we're going to keep
His identity under wraps

Until we're done
With the investigation.

But I want this sorted out
By the time he's arraigned

So I can smear his face
All over the news.

Okay. Good.

Thank you, commander.

Chief johnson,
You wanted to talk?

Gabriel let his emotions
Get the better of him.

It's happened
To all of us.

What gabriel did was, uh...
It was immature.

It wasn't just immature.

He acted in such a way

That I now can't see
How to close my case

Without permanently damaging
His career.

And make no mistake, commander,
I will close my case.

Whoa.

Let's not forget --
Gabriel's not the bad guy here.

There's a child killer
In the mix.

Whose admission
I can't use.

Too bad you can't get roger
To confess again.

I've been trying to figure out
How to do that all night.

You haven't
Booked the suspect yet?

No. He's still
In isolation.

You know what, chief?

You have a lot to do
Still,

What with having to look after
These other two missing girls.

Why don't I take roger
Off your hands?

Have robbery homicide
Book him.

I don't see
How that's gonna help me.

Oh...It will.

It will.

You wanted to see me,
Chief?

Yes. Lieutenant, what have
We got on roger's second car?

So far, nada.

S.I.D. Took some fibers,

And they're looking
For blood, hair,

Anything that'll match one of
The girls from five years ago.

[ sighs ] it'll take weeks,
If it works at all.

Thank you.

Chief...Um...

[ clears throat ]

I did a bad thing once.

I'm talking about
The first time.

It was many years ago.

I was very young,
Like gabriel,

And my heart --

Back when
I had a heart --

Was in the right place.

But I was stubborn,
I was stupid, and...

I did something
That I'm not proud of.

But...

People grow.

People change.

And...

Well...
Look at me now.

[ knock on door ]

Excuse me, chief.
We just got a call from lockup.

Roger wants to talk
To you.

Yes. Commander taylor's
Bringing him up right now.

I'm here
To protect and serve.

[ crying ]
You're not protecting me.

I wanted you out of there
So you'd be safe.

[ sniffles ]

What's the problem?

What happened?!

He did this to me!

He put me in the cell
With other prisoners!

How other prisoners
Treat people like roger.

How did they find out
Who he was?

I don't know. Maybe some guard
Must have said something.

Isn't there a rule
Against putting child molesters

In general population?

Whoa, whoa, whoa.
Wait a minute.

Is that what you are, roger?
Are you a child molester?

I didn't --
'cause before,
You said you weren't.

You denied everything.
What's it gonna be?

Are you a child molester
Or not?!

What are you, roger?!
Do you like little girls, huh?!

What are you, roger?!
Are you a child molester?!

He told them about me!

Mr. Stimple,
Do not answer that question!

Commander, that's enough.

[ whimpering ]

Sorry. Sorry, chief.

Please help me.

I can't do anything
For you!

I can't even talk to you,

Because
You've asked for a lawyer!

I want to talk.

Okay.

Fine.

Let's get a doctor
To take a look at you,

And then we'll talk.

No. Not him.

Can't we just
Keep this white?

Let's go.

Brenda:
Thank you, doctor.

Roger, just to be
Perfectly clear,

You are now saying
That you want to talk to me.

In fact, you asked to talk.

I heard he had a little scuffle
In the general population.

Honestly, chief, there was
No safe place to put this guy.

You don't have to talk to me
Without your attorney present.

You understand that, too?

Uh-huh.

Okay.

Again,
Just for the record,

You were just treated
By a doctor

For wounds
You say you received

From your fellow prisoners
In your holding cell.

They attacked
And beat you.

They're gonna kill me!
They're gonna kill me!

I can't go back down there!

It's okay.
It's okay, roger.

I won't send you back.

I swear.
You're safe with me.

And I promise you,

I will look into
Whoever did to you, okay?

Okay?

[ whimpers ]

Roger...

Let's you and I
Talk about ruby.

Because we looked for her
By the pay phones,

But she wasn't there.

I want to help y'all
Find her.

Look, I made a mistake.

I was wrong
Not to talk to y'all before.

All I know is,
I was driving through the park,

And there she was,

Just walking alone,
By herself.

In the park?

Yeah.

And I used to work
In that park.

It's not safe for a kid
To walk around alone like that.

So I offered her a lift.

That's why your dogs
Smelled her in my van.

She wanted
To call her folks.

So I-I took a service road
That I know,

And I dropped her off
By the phones.

I gave her some change
To call home,

And then I took off.

I'm telling you,
That's what happened.

Do you remember --
Was she wearing her pink jacket?

Yeah.

Yeah, that sounds right.

She had her hands
In her pockets.

And about what time
Was this?

I think -- I think
It was maybe around 12:00.

And you never
Got out of your van?

No.

This explains a lot --

How she got in your van,

Why she was in
That remote part of the park.

Yeah. Yeah.
I was just trying to help.

And you're helping now.
You're helping a lot.

Because, roger...

You see, we didn't find her
By the pay phones,

But we did find her.

She was dead, roger.

Oh, man.

I can't believe it.

Did you see anything suspicious
In the park,

A car that didn't belong
Or someone walking around?

Yeah.

Yeah, well, you know,
This could be nothing,

But there was
This one dude I saw

As we were heading
To the phones.

He's a young guy,
Maybe 20, 25.

He was black or hispanic.

You know, kind of cuban black,
You know what I mean?

He's a big guy.

Oh, man.

There are bad people
Out there.

Roger...

You say you saw ruby
In the park around noon.

That's when her teachers
Saw her leaving school.

The same time
Well...E got pictures

Of your van
Driving in her neighborhood.

You say you didn't
I drive allget out of your van,

But we've got
Your footprints all over.

That doesn't
Mean anything!

And you say you saw ruby
In her pink jacket,

Which we found in the alleyway
Where she was abducted.

Now, it is high time
That you tell me the truth.

The whole truth, roger.

Please.

Let's you and I
Help each other.

Otherwise...

There's nothing left
To talk about.

All right. I'm gonna go find
Commander taylor.

No!
Don't send me back there!

What choice do I have?!

[ crying ]
It's so hard.

Look.

You agreed to talk to me.
That's an important first step.

Now let me help you
Make the next one.

Because I know -- I know
What you're going through.

'cause girls that age...

They are so beautiful.

Other guys, they pretend that
They don't feel the same way,

But they do.

And the girls want it,
Too.

They just can't admit it...

Because their mothers
Would pass judgment.

But I'm not
Passing judgment, roger.

I just want to know
What happened.

[ crying ]
I was driving around,

And I seen this girl
I seen before.

You couldn't help
But notice her.

And I don't go for girls
Who don't want me.

I've been on the other end
Of that thing when I was a kid.

No. She's into it.

All you were doing
Was giving her a ride.

Exactly.

We were just
Driving around.

It was all just fun,
You know?

I wasn't gonna do anything.

But she wanted it.

She was flirting
So...With you.

You two fool around?

Then right in the middle of it,
She changed.

She got all mad at me.

Said she was gonna tell the cops
What we done.

Which is so perfect --

Just lead me on and...
Then just flip like that.

And I got mad.

Roger...

If something happened --

If there was an accident,
You need to tell me.

'cause the dna...

That's gonna link you
To ruby,

And the d.A.'s gonna
Make you out to be a monster

In a very public trial.

Is that how you want
Your mother to see you?

Is that how you want
The world to see you?

I know that there's an
Explanation that only you have,

And I want to hear
Your side of the story.

But if I'm gonna help you,
I need to hear it from you.

[ crying ]

She just started
Screaming.

She was making
So much noise.

I was just trying
To keep her quiet.

I didn't want
To hurt her.

[ sniffles ]

But her neck...

It snapped...So easy.

Then she got quiet.

I know how it sounds,
But...

It was an accident.

You didn't mean it.

Well,
At least now we know.

Thank you, roger.
I know that that was hard.

There's two more things
I want to talk to you about.

[ sobbing ]

[ knock on door ]

Chief johnson's just about done
With roger stimple.

She played him
Perfectly, chief --

Got confessions on both ruby
And the two other girls.

That's excellent.
Thank you.

Oh, and, uh...

Let's not release
His booking photo to the press.

Use the dmv shot instead.

I don't want people
To see a fat lip and
Feel sorry for this guy.

Yes, sir.

I'm hungry.

They'll be serving first meal
In a couple hours.

You can eat in your cell.

Wait.

What's gonna happen to me?

You'll be kept in isolation here
Until morning.

Then you'll be handed over
To county,

Which is under the supervision
Of the sheriff's department.

And after that...

I have no idea.

You don't understand.

If they put me back
In general population...

They'll beat me.

[ crying ]
They'll beat me.

No, roger.
I do understand.

What I'm trying
To tell you is...

I don't care.

[ door opens ]

[ door closes ]

[ breathing shakily ]

[ sighs ]

[ knock on door ]

Yes, detective,
What is it?

I, uh...

Just wanted
To say thank you.

There's nothing
To thank me for.

Well,
You got the confession.

I did.

And because this one will
Certainly be a capital case,

Roger's lawyer
Will insist on a trial.

And david will have to testify
About what he did.

I need to advise chief pope
Of all this in the morning,

Before roger's lawyer
Breaks it to reporters.

And what will this mean
For david?

Well, we'll see.

Won't we?

[ trash-can lid clanks ]

Oh, sorry.

Sorry, sorry, sorry.

Hello?

Fritz:
Sorry to wake you, chief.

I've got good news
And better news.

It only took a couple of hours
Okay, what'sfor the search team

To find the remains
Of the two other girls

Right where roger said
They'd be.

What's the better news?

No trial.

You can take their shoelaces
And their belt,

But they still find a way
To hang themselves.

The idea of life in prison
Must've been just too horrible.

He wrote a suicide note
On his hand?

Provenza: it's more of
An apology, actually...

To his mother.

[ knock on door ]

Hey, you wanted
To see me, chief?

Yes.
[ clears throat ]

Come in.

Roger stimple hanged himself
In his cell this morning.

There will be no trial,
So you're off the hook on that.

I just wanted to say
I'm really sorry

For causing
So much trouble.

"I'm sorry" won't cut it,
Sergeant.

I want you to know that I'm
Really mad about this situation.

I'm really mad at you
For having caused it,

And I'm really mad
That I have to be the one

To enter it
In your permanent record.

But I can't sweep this
Under the rug

Just because
You're my favorite.

In accordance
With departmental regulations,

I have asked
That commander taylor

Investigate your conduct
With roger stimple,

And he has written you up
For excessive force.

You're writing me up.

We have both spoken
Okayto chief pope,

And he has decided that
A 10-day suspension without pay

Is the necessary
And appropriate response.

Now, you can sign that report,
Acknowledging that you agree

With commander taylor's
Findings,

And hand over your gun
And your badge,

Or you can hire a lawyer

And roll the dice
With internal affairs.

It's your choice.

[ thud echoing ]

[ thud echoing ]

If I put you in a room
With another roger stimple,

Is this
Gonna happen again?

I don't know.

Don't come back
Until you do.
