- There she is.
The woman of the hour.

In the time

- Ms. Isis, she was attacked
last night at her house.

- It seems like
she's gonna pull through.

- There are ligature marks
around her wrist,

which implies she was bound
during the attack, and--

- Have the authorities
said anything?

- No.
Not yet.

- Her face is cut and bruised.

She's barely recognizable.

- Did he make those promises

before or after
he attacked Isis?

- After.

- He's too high profile
to have just disappeared.

I want to offer you

I want you to do

- Rapper Connor Hanks

known as Lil Murduh
has been reported dead.

- Tell me you didn't do it.
- I don't know what you mean.

- I just keep
having these dreams,

visions of what happened
the night my parents died

like it wasn't just
a car accident.

I wasn't in the car, right?

But in my dream,
I'm in the backseat.

Daddy?

- Hey, hey, hey.
another nightmare?

- Yeah.
What are you doing here?

- I appreciate you agreeing

What's popping with you?

- This morning,
we've obtained pictures

showing
multi-Grammy award winner

- So the hospital blames
Isis's narcotic overdose

on equipment malfunction.

The equipment
manufacturer insists

Isis had
a preexisting condition.

- I knew Isis a long time.

I don't remember her having
any preexisting conditions.

- The manufacturer
calls it cocaine.

Even though there was
no trace in her system

at the time of death,

they're insisting her prior
heavy use was a factor.

- Here's what I believe.

Right before Larry
was arrested,

he had his hit squad
kill Isis and Lewis.

I believe the nurse
in this video

went into Isis's room

and gave her the overdose
that killed her.

- Yeah,
you're probably right,

but the hospital has no clue
who that woman is,

and LAPD's batting zero
with facial recognition.

Look, why don't we
slap Stillwell

with aggravated sexual assault,

bring him in,

would amount to nothing more

than a slap on the wrist.

Get the hell out of here,

I told you I did not kill Isis.
- Yeah, sure.

Your job is not to believe me.

But it is your job
to defend me.

- No, it's not.

- I know the truth
about your parents,

and I know you've
been dying to know

the real story
your entire life.

So the day you agree
to defend me

against what I'm sure
are gonna be trumped-up charges

from Beverly Rucker,
that's the day

I will tell you everything.

African-American male

killed in an alley off Pico.

Kid was found with
her contact info in his pocket.

- A rapper
with an entertainment lawyer's

number in his pocket.

Sounds like
a real class A felony to me.

part-time catering.

Connor Hanks took a swan dive
off the roof.

There's nothing
connecting the two,

Absolutely not.

You've cut her off

you can hurt Daniella

by buying
her grandfather's label?

They've been as warm

Criterium can buy Blackgammon.
