The guy you knew.

A lot of uniforms here.

Janice told me this was an open case,
but I didn't get all the details.

Was the victim a cop?

Daughter of one. Jimmy Lambert,
lieutenant downtown.

Beth.

Detective Wilkes.

My team's first on the scene.

This case started with you, so if you
could prep my men here. Still my case,

Trent. Of course.

But we're going to assist you, okay?
It's one of our own, Beth. All hands on

deck. How's Carol?

Not good.

Bullet passed right through her skull.
She was a surgeon. You find the slug?

Still searching. You identify where the
shot came from?

Rooftop, across the street, to the west
here.

You sure?

That's not an easy shot.

I'm sorry, who are you? Jack Larson, new
guy.

Trent Wilkes, robbery homicide. Jack
just transferred to TAU.

Okay. Yeah, I'm sure the shot came from
that rooftop. We found a sniper's nest.

He also left some fibers behind from a
screening mesh.

Mesh? That's what military snipers use
to camouflage their location.

Right. Looks like he was perched there
for hours just waiting, hiding.

Print? DNA?

Oh, New York. I would have led with
that.

Also, no surveillance footage.

This guy's really good at avoiding
cameras.

Anything you need, Beth?

What's his deal?

Why? Get a weird vibe.

It's you.

You make bad first impressions.

Do I?

Every time?

Maybe I suck. Do I suck?

The victim is Carol Lambert, 24.

TAU was called in two years ago when her
jock ex -boyfriend, Paul Watson,

decided he was going to stalk her during
their senior year of college.

He didn't take kindly to the fact that
she left him to pursue women.

I had her hurt.

The guy has a fragile ego.

All right, well, there's an APB out.
Full manhunt's in effect. We've got to

We have work to do.

Any word?

No, she's still in surgery.

You were supposed to protect her.

You told me I could trust you. You're
not helping things, Jimmy.

Sorry. Tell that to my baby.

She came to you for help. Come on, come
on.

You said you'd handle that. Come on,
come on, come on.

Paul was there.

I saw him.

At the wedding?

A couple hours before the ceremony.

Saw him in front of the hotel.

You saw me and you ran scared.

Thought that would be it.

Not gonna get away with this. We will
find Paul. Let us do our jobs. I did

And now my baby is on an operating
table.

While we're looking for Paul, is there
anyone else we should be looking at? You

got one job, lady.

Find Paul. They gotta go by the numbers.

You know this.

Anyone else you and Kara had a run -in
with?

No. Why are you still here?

You're a cop, Lieutenant. You can't tell
me I've been pissing people off.

I mean...

Purpose of grudges or someone you
arrested recently, anything like that?

Jimmy used to ride together.

The boys back at the station are going
over our caseload.

We'll reach out to him. I'm telling you,
it was Paul.

A couple weeks ago, a couple weeks ago,
Kara said that she thought she was being

followed. Did she see anyone?

No.

Why didn't you say something to me?

We didn't want to believe it.

We thought it was all behind her.

Let's take a walk. Come on.

I thought she was choking.

Gay?

How is that even possible?

We were doing it regularly.

And I'm telling you, man, she liked it.

Is that why you put that tape of you two
having sex online? That's right.

No, I didn't post it.

I'm not sorry that it's out there. The
dudes on my team were saying that I

turned her gay.

Now they can see that I was laying it
down right.

He was texting me and calling me all
through the night, so I turned my phone

off. And then at 2 in the morning, the
fire alarm went off in my building.

I went outside, and there he was staring
at me.

Did he threaten you?

No, but he had this look in his eyes
that I had never seen before. It was

he hated me.

I need you to leave her alone. I need
her to understand that she can't play

games with me. She's not playing games,
Paul.

She likes girls. Then why was he with me
in the first place?

Your feelings are hurt. No, I just don't
like being lied to.

She doesn't get to do that to me. Have
you ever been violent?

No.

But I can feel it.

What? What can you feel, Carol?

He wanted to get angry.

What do you think?

Paul guy's not winning me over.

The girl's sitting on Paul's apartment.

The guy's missing.

SID recovered the slug from the crime
scene. They're running ballistics. We

retrieved Tara's stalker diary from her
apartment.

After the restraining order was put in
place, there's very little contact with

Paul. But there are a couple of recent
entries where she states that she feels

like she's being watched, but she wasn't
sure it was Paul.

Did PD recover Paul's laptop in the
apartment?

Yeah, I'm still going through it, but
the browser history shows that he was

looking at Kara's wedding announcement
in the LA Times a couple days ago. That

could have been the trigger that
reignited his obsession.

I did the assessment. Paul was a howler.
He made email threats, he texted her,

wanted attention, but there was never
any history of violence, no mental

issues, no other illegal misconduct. The
victim's father encountered Paul at the

wedding locale this morning. You're
saying I missed it?

No, I'm not saying that. That's what you
heard.

We get over 300 cases a year with a 56 %
recidivism rate. You know how many of

those freaks go south without warning?
Can we just find Paul Watson?

We're reaching out to friends, family,
anyone that might know his whereabouts.

Paul modified his behavior in response
to the restraining order. He was afraid

of jeopardizing his future. This doesn't
add up. Shooter sat in nets for hours,

waiting to take one single shot. I mean,
that takes training and precision.

Did Paul have experience with guns? Was
he a military boy?

No, he grew up in Colorado hunting.
That's it. The attack was covert. That

requires discipline.

It was unemotional. It doesn't fit
Paul's harassment pattern. Paul was a

rejected stalker. Rash, impulsive,
angry. And I'm agreeing with you.

Patrol's got a lead on Paul Watson.

A car with missing plates, same make and
model as his, was found near an airport

motel where a man matching his
description checked in, paying cash.

Get us to backup. Don't let the location
out. I don't want a bunch of angry cops

showing up before I do.

What are you doing?

Why are you running?

Let's stop with the running.

Hey.

Paul's ready.

Is his lawyer here?

He says he doesn't need one.

Thanks for coming.

Let's do this.

Paul, this is Deputy DA Amanda Taylor.

Before you say anything, I need you to
acknowledge in her presence that you

waive your rights. Yeah, fine. I don't
need a lawyer because I didn't shoot

Kara. You are aware that everything
you're saying here is on record and can

will be used against you.

Yes, I get it.

I'd like to acknowledge that Paul Watson
understands his Miranda rights by law.

It's all yours.

Thanks.

But you never went to her wedding?

No. We have a witness putting you at the
hotel this morning, Paul. I'm sorry,

yes, I was at the hotel, but it was
hours before the wedding. Giving you

cut up your little diaper's neck on the
roof across the wall? No.

So why did you run from us?

When I heard that Kara had been shot, I
knew that her father and every cop in L

.A. would come after me.

Jimmy the hard -ass.

Why didn't you come to me?

Would you have believed me?

Do you believe me now?

We found a rifle in your motel room.

I have to protect myself.

That's it.

I didn't shoot Kara.

I'm not... There was no gunshot residue
found on Paul's hand or clothing.

And his rifle wasn't fired recently. Or
he wore gloves and dumped the actual

rifle he used. And we have no recent
evidence of Paul harassing Kara. What

you doing at the hotel this morning?

I just wanted to apologize to her for
being an ass.

We did your retired tweet or an email.

You violated the restraining order.

You and Ben told me to get some therapy.
I did. It helped.

That whole thing with Kara, it was the
first time in my entire life where I

couldn't get my way.

I was a school jerk, and yeah, I did
mess with her, but I get that now.

So you should have a wedding.

I just wanted one minute.

One minute with her before her wedding
so I could wish her well.

Maybe I didn't think it through.

After everything that went down between
us, I...

I thought it would matter to her. Seems
like he's actively trying to get over

Kara. That's not typical of a revengeful
stalker. Yeah, or he's just lying.

Okay.

What happened?

I never even saw her because her lunatic
dad chased me away.

I didn't shoot Kara.

We can't let the guy walk.

Well, we don't have enough to hold him.
I can build a circumstantial case with

what we have.

A disgruntled stalker with motive and
opportunity.

That's not enough for trial.

We put enough pressure on him, he'll
plead to it. For the last nine years, I

worked homicides in New York City, and
I'm telling you, this guy's not a liar.

Why is it that New Yorkers remind us
where they're from?

Now, call me unpopular, but I don't
think Paul did it. Are you serious?

Yeah. I'm with Jack.

Paul's an emotional hothead, but we're
looking for the complete opposite of

Paul. And who would that be?

Male, ex -military, 30s.

Precision sharpshooter, maybe Green
Beret or some specialty team.

Analytical, stoic, outwardly not
emotional, but internally he's in the

his feelings, consumed by them.

The man's obsession controls him, fuels
him, keeping him focused and precise.

He's obsessed.

My gut says he's not done.

It's not working.

Oh, we have to do it manually.

Get the crane in.

He did it. Now all we have to do is he
has to bring Bill.

Hey.

You didn't finish your dinner.

Are you hungry?

No.

He didn't.

Are you sure?

Yes.

Hey. Honey, you didn't clean your room.

What did I say, huh?

Honey, I'm coming.

So how'd you get the spot?

Excuse me?

TAU is a specialized unit.

Elite. Was that insult accidental or
intentional?

No, seriously.

There were 300 applicants for your spot.

Beth chose you.

That's a good question.

I'll have to ask her sometime.

Unless you were a favor.

Somebody owes somebody something.

You're the IOU.

I want you to ask Beth herself.

I will.

Beth! Felicity came back on the slug
from the rooftop?

Not a match for Paul's rifle. Well,
that's not a surprise.

Right, but this is.

Our bullet matched the slug taken out of
a gang member who was shot and killed

in South Central. When was he shot?

Early this morning, before Kara.

Somebody sent.

I know.

Work up a profile on the new victim.
Maybe it'll give us something.

On it. His girlfriend is in house for
questioning. I'll talk to her. Get back

me.

Okay, honey, it's time for bed.

Okay. Put everything away, please.

Thank you.

Daddy will be home any minute, okay?

Okay.

Coffee? No.

I've been here all day. I'm going home.

I know this is a tough time and
answering all these questions is a

if you know who shot Jesse, you can help
me out. I told every cop here.

I straight up don't know.

Tiny, you know what I really enjoy after
a hard day at work?

Do I look like I care?

There's this little bar in Silver Lake
that makes the best Moscow mule. I'm

meeting my friend there tonight. I think
you know her.

Cleo Tate. Who?

Your probation officer.

I didn't do anything.

No track marks on your arm say
otherwise.

You're a bitch.

I prefer assertive.

Sit down.

I still don't know who shot Jesse.

Anything out of the ordinary happened
lately?

Did Jesse ever talk about being followed
or watched?

Yeah.

He said he thought there was someone in
the apartment one day.

A couple of weeks ago, I saw him looking
over his shoulder, so I asked him about

it. He said it was nothing.

He thought he was being paranoid.

What did you think?

He either was or wasn't.

He was in a gang, so he's been followed,
marked.

Had his ass whooped more times.

Nearly done.

Do you know this man?

Paul Watson?

No.

This woman was shot today with the same
gun used to kill Jesse.

What's her name?

Kara Lambert. Do you know her?

No.

But I think Jesse said there's a cop
with the same last name.

Jimmy Lambert?

Yeah, Jimmy Lambert.

Jimmy Lambert arrested the dead banger
Jesse Hightower a few years ago when he

was still on the street.

He used him as a CI instead of putting
him away. But here's the weird thing.

They became friends.

Friends. That's what the girlfriend
said.

When Jimmy was a kid, he was on a bad
track. A cop turned things around for

Jimmy was trying to play it forward.

He tried to get Jesse out of the life,
encouraged him and his girlfriend to get

their GEDs. Jimmy would come by, check
in on him like he really cared. It was a

work in progress, but they had this odd
father -son relationship.

Jesse Hightower is dead?

We know you were looking out for him.

That kid had a lot of potential.

He was killed with the same gun that was
used on Kara.

Well, that doesn't make sense.

My daughter didn't even know him.

Why would Paul shoot Jesse?

Well, I said he wouldn't. Maybe someone
with an axe to grind against you? Are

you saying that I'm the common
denominator here?

Yes. Does anyone have a grievance
against you? More importantly, who else

be in danger? We need a list of your
family members. Who's closest to you?

My sister and her family in town for the
wedding. We're securing everyone on the

guest list. Who else? My brother in
Chicago.

Okay, but there has to be more family
and friends. Maybe an old partner could

help put together a list for us.

Jimmy, where's Frank? We were told he'd
be with you.

He just left.

How close are you guys?

He's my closest friend.

Get him on the phone.

It's going straight to Bush. What's his
address?

1949 Sterling Drive, Studio City.

I'll get uniforms en route.

Hey.

How's Jimmy?

He's a wreck.

Still at the hospital.

And Tara?

No word yet.

I tried calling you, but you weren't
picking up your phone.

Yeah, they made me turn my phone off at
ICU.

I'd forgotten to turn it back on.

I'll make you something to eat. Why
don't you go shower?

Perfect.

Thank you, baby.

You want a ride? Sure.

Come on.

Can I help you? I'm Lieutenant Beth
Davis. Who's at home with you, Mrs.

My husband and son. Please.

You're bleeding.

Why?

I didn't see a trace. He was built under
six feet wire. He's strong. Guy was

fast. He knew what he was doing.

He sat in Frank's closet for hours?

He sat on a rooftop unseen for longer.
He's special ops. He has to be.

Could be someone you arrested or
convicted. He's angry. Thinks you

Or he believes you hurt someone he cares
about.

Beth Davis.

Think ex -military, proficient with guns
and knives.

All right, got it.

Two guys you asked us to check out. They
both have alibis.

I keep a list of all the people that
have made credible threats against me in

office.

I think there are a few more that fit
that profile. Those are from last year.

This is this year.

Who's that in the photo with you, Jimmy?

That's me and Jesse at the Midtown Youth
Center.

And Karen Frank?

Yeah.

Today's victims.

What are you thinking, Jack?

Jimmy at his desk.

Look where I'm sitting.

Who sits here?

My officers? Men under my command? Not
perps?

Never. We're looking for a cop.

One of my men?

Someone who sat right here staring at
your loved ones while you reprimanded

made them feel small.

This is where it began.

This is where he started plotting
against you.

Anyone work for you who's ex -military?

Most of my men are ex -military. Someone
who sat right here, Jimmy. And he's

someone with a grievance against you.

Thanks, man.

I fired him two years ago.

Former Special Forces sharpshooter in
Afghanistan.

Give me a last known on Silas Martin,
former LAPD, Metro Division.

Send patrol to his house. He's armed and
dangerous.

Right, Jimmy. What do we need to know?

He killed a teenager in a high school
parking lot.

Said the kid pulled a gun, but no weapon
was recovered at the scene.

His military records were clean, but
when I did some digging, I found that he

was treated for anxiety as a kid.

And I think there were even more issues.

The man was unstable.

I had to let him go.

His appeal dragged on and on.

His termination was finalized six months
ago.

Did he ever threaten you?

No.

He barely said anything at his hearing.

I knew he was upset, but I would have
never expected this. The dismissal was

just a trigger.

The way he's responding is tied to an
underlying psychosis.

Bitch.

We got an address.

Ben, I...

Judge,

did you buy the mail piled up by the
door? He hasn't been here for a couple

days.

Found anxiety meds in the bathroom.
Doesn't look like he's been taking them.

needs them. I saw serious combat in
Afghanistan based on his records.

You're going to like his taste in
wallpaper.

Saw the legal filings from the hearings
and appeals.

Diagrams of the shooting that cost him
his job.

Where's the gun?

He was trying to prove his innocence.

No local family, no real friends, no
girlfriend.

LAPD was all he had. So when his appeals
were rejected six months ago, he really

did lose everything.

Stopped taking his meds, his rational
thinking was thrown off.

Jimmy became the target of his anger and
frustration.

He wants revenge.

Not revenge. Revenge is about damaging
the enemy. This is resentful stalking.

He needs retribution against Jimmy for
firing him, but he also needs to prove

his righteousness.

But resentful stalkers rarely turn to
violence.

Look at a new guy. He read the manual.

Yeah, but this guy's a soldier. Violence
is in his nature.

After his appeals were rejected, he
probably thought, you know, he needed to

escalate to regain some power and
control in his life.

Guys, you need to see this.

SID, just unlock, please.

Silas was getting ready for war.

But why target Jimmy's loved ones?

Jimmy took away the thing that Silas
valued most. His job. His identity.

So he's taking from Jimmy what he values
most.

Kara, Jesse, and Frank. The photos he
saw every time he went into Jimmy's

office. He must have thought about it
over and over and over a thousand times,

fantasized until it wasn't enough.

He had to make it real.

He planned and stopped meticulously over
these last six months. And decided to

turn Kara's wedding into Jimmy's day of
reckoning. Guys, check this out.

I'm U .S. Special Forces.

Silas Martin. I was a proud officer of
the LAPD.

I want to state officially and for the
record that you, Lieutenant James

Lambert, dirtied my name and my
reputation.

This is manifesto.

I showed up at every hearing where I sat
through lie after lie.

I trusted that the victim would
vindicate me. But you, James Lambert,

my faith. My name and my badge, they
were everything to me. You stole them

me. I was what, the innocent lamb in
your evil lion's den?

You drove me to what I've become.

This guy's lost it. I may not survive.

But I find solace in knowing that my
final act, I will reveal you for the

that you are.

And then you and your lies will be
forever distinguished on this plane. I

have my justice, and the truth will
prevail.

This is his endgame.

He made Jimmy suffer, and now he wants
to confront him. He wants Jimmy to admit

he lied to declare his innocence.

Where's Jimmy now?

With Kara at the hospital.

Get back to you with those staff.

Okay. Thanks.

Hey!

I'm still in here.

Come on.

They're funny guys.

Would you like a coffee?

No, I'm good.

I know I'm not what you want for your
daughter. Not now, Terry.

I'm sorry.

About everything.

Don't worry about it.

You're off the hook.

It's all my fault.

I'm sorry.

No worries.

Where's Jimmy Lambert?

I saw him around 20 minutes ago. He went
down that hallway.

I thought he had gone to grab something
to eat.

And that's the last time you saw him?
Yeah.

Keep this hole safe.

You too. With me.

Come on, wake up. No sleeping.

We need to talk, Jimmy.

I think you have something you want to
tell me.

Why are you doing this?

You know why.

Your lies have come home to roost.

Huh?

How does it feel?

Got to fight me now, do you, huh?

Are you ready to tell me the truth?
Because I really... Oh, God, Jimmy, I

to hear the truth.

I know that that kid had a gun.

Wake up!

Jimmy?

Come on, Jimmy!

What'd you do with the gun?

Huh? Who moved the gun? Tell me!

I know that that kid, that kid had a
gun, Jimmy. There was no gun.

We looked.

You're lying, Jimmy.

Why did you keep lying? I saw a gun in
his hand. He was going to shoot me.

Did my daughter have a gun, too?

No.

That's your fault.

It was your fault, Jimmy.

It was your fault.

You made me do that.

There's a gun aimed at your back.

Turn around and put your hands up.

I said put your hands up.

I'm in OR6.

I got Silas and Jimmy.

Get some help in here.

How's she doing?

The doctors induced a coma while they
wait for the swelling in her brain to go

down. But they're hopeful.

You okay, Jimmy?

Doctors check you up?

Yeah, I'm all right.

I just can't help thinking that... There
is nothing more you could have done.

All that matters now is that Kara makes
it.

Well, she has to.

And when she wakes up, we're going to
have a wedding, right, Terry?

Nice job, nigga.

You think?

I do.

Have a good night.

Hey, Ben, your assessment on Paul was
right on, man.

I know.

Night.

You got a second?

No. There's nothing more to talk about.
You shouldn't have followed me here.

This isn't just about you and me. This
is about our son.

How is Ethan?

You're about seven years too late to
play that card.

I gave you two weeks, Jack. Time's
ticking.

Leave L .A., or I'm going to force your
hand.

Is something I need to know about you
and Amanda?

No.

So if I clocked some serious tension
between the two of you, I'd be totally

wrong? You know how I always make a bad
first impression.

Right.

Whatever it is, fix it. I don't want it
poisoning my unit.

You know, I'm getting hungry. You want
to grab a bite to eat?

No, thanks.

You sure?

Yes, and you don't need to ask me again.

What if I want to ask?

The answer will always be no.

Got it.

I know why you hate me.

Yeah, why's that?

I was a favor. My captain pushed my
transfer on your captain, and you had to

take me. I know I wasn't your first
choice.

Shocker.

Or even your second choice.

I know you had 300 other applicants.

372.

You were not even in the top 20.

I'll try harder.

Good thing you don't suck.

What, you think I'm doing a good job?

Good night, Jack.

Good night.

I don't see anyone, honey.

Stay tuned for scenes from our next
episode.
