Professor Ryan.Oh, Officer Nolan.

Little late for class,
don't you think?

My apologies
for missing the exam.

I got, uh, stuck at work,
last-minute call.

Armed robbery.Is everyone alright?

Yes, thank you,
but about the exam,

is there any way
I could make that up?

I made my policy clear
on the first day --

a missed test
is a failed test.
Yes.

You also said in your
first lecture that, uh,

"Strict law is often
great injustice." Cicero.

Oh, okay.

Well, if you want an exception,
you'll need to earn it.

Tell me what I have to do.

You have to answer
one legal question.

Okay, that's easy.

[ Chuckles ]
Um...

A woman witnesses
a stabbing in a nightclub.

She's pretty sure
the assailant is Black

and that he has a scar
on his right arm.

Wait. She's sure that he has
a scar on his right arm

but not sure that
he's African-American?

Did I say
African-American?

Right. Black. Sorry.
Mm-hmm.

Uh, there are
over 400 club-goers,

so it's going to take a while
to interview them all.

And the longer you wait...

The more their memories
will have a chance to degrade,

and it would give theassailant a chance to
destroy any evidence.

And if you do not find
the culprit tonight,

you probably never will.

So who do you round up
to question?

"A," all the Black men,

"B," all the men,
regardless of color,

or, "C," everyone?

Are there
any more facts?

This isn't really easy to answer
based on what you've given me.

Well, this is not
an easy class.

Get me the right answer
by end of day tomorrow,

and I will let you
make up the exam.

Right. Thank you.
I will.

If you were to single out all
the Black men for questioning,

it wouldn't be,

they were all in the building

when the crime was committed
makes it legally okay, right?

even saw a Black guy?

No, the witness
wasn't definitive.

So what's the answer?

Well, you're going about this

It's about finding the answer
that she wants.

Or the one
that she doesn'twant.

"Question all the Black men."

Why? 'Cause she's Black?

Well, yeah. Right?

What?

She could
just be testing you --

to see if you'd censor yourself
with her to curry favor.

Hey. Let me bring you
up to speed.

This is Austin Abassi,
age 20,

son of Judge William Abassi.

Three days ago,
Austin was kidnapped

from his apartment
in Hollywood.

The kidnappers sent
an untraceable e-mail

demanding 100 grand
in ransom.

On Thursday night,
a backpack full of cash

was left at the designated
drop-off spot,

but Austin wasn't returned.

Let me guess -- they came up
with the 100K so fast,

the kidnappers
wanted more?

A million. That's when the Judge
finally called the police.

We processed
the crime scene.

A female DNA sample was found
on an empty beer bottle.

Did you get a match?She's not in our system,

but a familial DNA test
determined the sample

comes from the offspring
of someone we currently
have behind bars.

Someone I can't interview

because of
a conflict of interest.

-Oscar?
-You have got to be kidding me.

I'm guessing
your conflict of interest

is that he stabbed
your fiancé.

Technically, my conflict is
the desire to kill him for that.

But you wouldn't really.

I'm pregnant.
Don't try me.

O-Okay. So, wait.
Oscar has a daughter?

Not according
to any official records.

In fact, I can't find any
records of a relationship.

That doesn't surprise me.

Oscar's too much of a narcissist
to keep a girlfriend.

-What's going on?
-Did something happen?

Judge Abassi, Mrs. Abassi,

this is Detective Harper
and Officer Nolan.

They're going to be running down
a lead regarding this man --

Oscar Hutchinson.

He's currently serving
40 years at Cal Correctional

for multiple
violent felonies.

Harper and Nolan will be going
to the prison to question him.

Whatever resources you need,
you'll have them.

Yes, and if there's a deal
to be made, please, make it.

We need Austin
back safely.

Well, the good news is,
uh, with Oscar,

there's always
a deal to be made.

Sir, feel free to call us if
his stereo gets that loud again.

Have you ever been dumped
out of the blue before?

Let me think.

One time, my wife left the house
in the middle of the night,

and I didn't see her again
for two years.

Okay, I get it.
In the grand scheme of things,

this isn't that bad.
I just wanna know why.

Oscar has to be behind this
kidnapping somehow, right?

No record of
any female visitors,

and none of his mail has
ever referenced a daughter.

So either Oscar's been keeping
her a secret from us...

And why do that?...or he's unaware
that she even exists.

Which presents a clear argument
for nature over nurture

as a predicate
for criminal behavior.

If she's involved
in the kidnapping at all

and not just some kid who had
a beer at Austin's apartment

and went home
before he got grabbed.

There are so many unknowns,
