[ indistinct radio chatter ]

[ siren wails ]

Hey, chief.

Victim is lisa mason.

She's a 34-year-old
White female.

She's also the wife of deputy
District attorney scott mason.

That's him over there.

I understood the body
Was found naked on the beach

Less than an hour ago.

How was she identified
So quickly?

The killer threw her wallet
And clothes here,

And the harbor division
Got her driver's license.

And one of their friendly
Detectives called mr. Mason?

That's not right.

Mason's a heavy hitter in
The d.A.'s major-crimes office.

Maybe they were thinking
A little professional courtesy.

[ scoffs ]

[ sighs ]

So, why are y'all up here
Instead of down there?

Commander taylor's orders.

Chief johnson,
I'd like to see my wife.

Please.

Mr. Mason, I'm terribly sorry
About your loss,

But I know that I don't need
To explain to someone

Who prosecutes murders
For a living

Why you can't
Go down there with me.

And though I've never met
Your wife,

I'm certain that she wouldn't
Want you to see her this way.

It will be
Much more helpful to us

If you would give us
Your statement, please.

Mr. Mason, why don't you
Come with me, sir, downtown?

We'll get
Your statement there.

Thank you very much.

Brenda:
Detective daniels is still at
The homeland security seminar?

For two more weeks.

So, this plan that
You've hatched with chief pope

Means we continue
Short-staffed.

Never mind.

Let me see
What's going on down here.

[ indistinct radio chatter ]

What is the point
Of keeping most of my squad

Out of the crime scene?

My call -- I want to keep
The crime scene simple

And avoid
Attracting the media.

And frankly, this is something
Not everyone needs to see.

I thought
She washed up on shore.

Flynn: nope.
Dry as a bone.

And you won't find any water
In her lungs, either.

These red marks --

Not the cigarette burns,
But the little dots --

Did the coroner's investigator
Say what they might be?

Those red dots
Are from a cattle prod.

They're all over
Her back, too.

Unfortunately, they are not
Limited to outside her body.

The killer
Used his weapon --

If that's what
You want to call it --

To seriously damage
Her organs.

There's some old bruising
Here.

How long
Has she been missing?

According to the husband,
Just since last night --

Dead between
7 and 10 hours.

[ indistinct radio chatter ]

There's some chaffing
Around her ankles...

Wrists, and neck.

She was tied up.

Standing. Tortured.
And strangled.

No sign of a gag,

So the killer either wanted
To hear her scream or...

She was anesthetized.

She's gonna be negative
For drugs, chief.

Victim felt everything.

I get the impression you've
Found bodies like this before.

In 1998,
Three other women

Were tortured and strangled
To death in the same way.

Three days apart, each one
Dumped in a l.A.-county beach.

Then the next year, the same
Thing happened all over again.

Press called the guy who did
This the "P.C.H. Killer."

P.C.H. --
Pacific coast highway?

Media nickname.
That must have fed his ego.

Seems like the kind of guy
Who likes a lot of attention.

Which I prefer he not get
Till after we find him.

There's one more thing.
Lieutenant.

Oh, yeah, he brands
Each victim on the heel

In the order
In which he kills them --

One, two, three,
With roman numerals.

So, take a look at this.

We're running
A little behind.

[ indistinct radio chatter ]

Thank you.

Hey, chief, we have
All available air assets

Up and flying our way.

Yeah, we're searching
Every beach in the county.

The second you find anything,
Let me know.

Bye.

You're welcome.

So, it says here
That in the previous cases,

The murders were considered
Part of a rape,

But semen was only discovered
On the bodies, not in them.

He's a real pervert --
Not a surprise.

So he ties them up
So that they feel helpless...

And then neuters them
With an electric prod...

And then brands
Their feet.

He's transforming them
From women to cattle.

And he's a psycho,
Also not a big shock.

And when he's finished
With them...

He dumps them
On a public beach, naked,

Indicating he believes
They deserve to be humiliated

For some reason.

Do we know why?

No idea,
But all of these women

Were involved
In long-term relationships --

Three of them were married
And three were engaged.

And all of them were
Messing around with men

Other than
Their significant others.

And all of them
Were divorced at least once.

Well, that doesn't
Narrow down the field
Very much, lieutenant.

Well, there's something else
They all have in common.
Maybe you've noticed.

They're all pretty.

Which makes me think that
Since the wounds

Were inflicted during the murder
And there were no drugs,

That the women
Went with him willingly.

So even though our serial
Killer's a sexual pervert --

He doesn't look like one.

Have you spoken to all
The victims' ex-husbands?

Yeah.
Dead ends.

Or maybe I just didn't know
What to ask them.

You want to speak to
Lisa mason's first husband, too?

Yes.

So, three women
In nine days.

He must choose his victims
In advance.

How does he do that,
I wonder?

I hate to suggest it,
But I've always felt our killer

Might be part of l.A. County
Law enforcement.

P.C.H. Runs through areas

Supervised by the sheriff's
Department, l.A.P.D.,

Santa monica, huntington,
Long beach police department.

So by leaving bodies
On all these different beaches,

He's creating
Cross-jurisdictional issues,

Counting on
Slow communication.

And he's managed to dump
Six bodies

Along a well-traveled
Highway

During two massive manhunts
Without being caught.

Flynn: every law-enforcement
Agency in the county

Still hands their cases over
To the same district attorney.

And we just happen to have
A deputy d.A.

Waiting in an interview room
For you.

And though his wife
Didn't come home last night,

Mr. Deputy d.A. Scott mason
Didn't report her missing.

Seems neglectful.

All right.

Thank you, lieutenant.

Lieutenant provenza,
Could you please call the morgue

And get a prelim
On mr. Mason's wife a.S.A.P.?

And, lieutenant flynn,
Please send out a request

For follow-ups to all reports
Of screaming in the county

Over the last week.

These women didn't go quietly.
Thank you.

Mason:
The p.C.H. Killer.

We thought
He was probably dead.

Unfortunately, no.

I'm sorry, mr. Mason.

I have several questions
That need answered

And in a hurry,
Because, as you may remember,

This particular guy --

Murders in threes.

And due to our
Time constraints,

I only have about 60 hours
Before this guy's gonna
Kill again.

I feel a particular obligation
To just jump right in here.

So, um...
Is there a reason

That you failed
To report your wife missing

When she didn't come home
Last night?

We live in echo park,
And she works on the westside.

She sometimes stays overnight
At her sister's in santa monica.

Last night,
She called me to say

That she was
Too tired to drive home.

And that was the last time
You spoke with her?

Yes.

Yes,
That was the last time.

Since you seem to know
A bit about

This so-called
P.C.H. Killer's m.O. --

Not that much, really.

All that information
Was pretty carefully handled.

Oh.

Then you may not know
That he tends to choose women

That are divorced.

Which would fit.

Lisa left her first husband
About a year and a half ago.

Okay.

Another characteristic
Of the victims --

They were all straying outside
Their primary relationships.

So, are you aware, or do you
Have any reason to believe,

That your wife
Was having an affair?

No.
No, sh--

Lisa would never
Do something like that.

And can you account for your own
Whereabouts last night, sir?

I was at home, by myself.

Okay.

Just one last thing --

In order to find the lunatic
That did this to your wife,

I need you
To sign this consent form

Allowing us
To search your house.

Search my house?
For what?

E-mails on computers,
Phone records,

Appointment books -- frankly,
Anything that'll help --

No, no.
Why would I agree to that?

[ knock on door ]

Because if you don't
Agree, sir,

I'm leaving this room
To call the district attorney

To inform him that a deputy
In his major-crimes office

Is standing between me
And a serial killer.

And I say this because
I want you to understand

That I will not permit this
Investigation to be compromised

By your affiliation
With law enforcement.

There is a woman's life
At stake here.

Do not test me on this,
Sir.

Sign the consent form.

Excuse me.

We found the first victim.

On which beach?

Not on the beach.
County morgue.

Three and a half days ago,
Homicide investigators

From the l.A.
Sheriff's department

Brought her in
From malibu beach.

Don't know why
They didn't call you.

Her face
Is unrecognizable.

That's one difference
Between the two bodies.

Your murderer smashed in
Our jane doe's face

With a blunt instrument --

Broke her cheek bones,
Knocked out some teeth.

Jane doe?

Didn't they find her I.D.
And clothes on the beach?

That's the other
Dissimilarity.

This victim was dumped
Without her personal belongings.

But in addition to the semen,
Cigarette burns,

And prod marks,
Which match lisa mason's body...

There's also this.

It's the same killer.

Okay, exactly when and where
Did the sheriffs find her?

Okay, we need to get
Whoever this deputy slade guy is

Into pope's office
Right now.

This looks
A lot more personal.

Slade: so,
This jane doe we found,

Ran her prints through afis,
No hit.

Didn't have a name
Or even a face, really,

To check
With missing-persons reports.

So I went out on my own

And had a plastic surgeon
Help us to construct this --

A computer-generated
Portrait.

And did you identify her?

Slade: no, but we've had people
Knocking on every door

In malibu
With that picture.

I took it to bars and
Restaurants. Nobody knows her.

My partner and I were rookies
During the previous murders.

There's no possible way we could
Have known the significance --

What about entering
The murder into vicap?

Taylor:
Fellas, I don't think we need
To figure out how we got here

As much as how we move on.

I agree. In my opinion --
And if you think the sheriff

Will have an issue with this,
Deputy slade, please speak up --

Investigating these murders
Separately doesn't make sense.

We agree.
We agree.

In fact, I was told,
If you want her,

We can hand off
Our jane doe to you,

Increase our patrols
Along the p.C.H.,

And coordinate with
The local police departments.

Except all that
Was done last time.

The killer turns
Our extra surveillance

Along the p.C.H.
To his advantage,

So it's either not enough
Or it's too much.

And the bigger problem is

If we concentrate our resources
On the highway,

By the time the killer
Gets to the beach,

He'll have tortured
And murdered another woman,

And that is simply
Not acceptable.

But if a highly visible force
Gets out on the road

And if the sheriff's department
Helps us make it clear

That we are sparing
No resources here,

Maybe this nutjob will back off
Until we can find him.

I certainly hope so.

'cause right now...

We've got about
48 hours left

Before he's supposed
To kill again.

Fritz: no I.D. Yet from
This computer-generated photo,

So I've scoured the different
County police departments

For their short-term
Missing lists --

Women between 19 and 45.

Now, these aren't
Full reports yet,

But one of them
Might hit the mark.

Just cross-check these

With the ones
I've already gone through.

Brenda: so, our killer
Is strong enough

To carry the bodies
Down the hill

And smart enough
To cover his tracks.

Who would be that familiar
With the county beaches?

I wish I knew, chief.

Drives me crazy
I never got this guy. Crazy.

This cattle prod is like
The one used by our killer.

It's not strong enough
To spread the electric shock

Through the entire body
Like a stun gun, okay?

It's designed to hurt,
Not kill.

And you can order this
Online.

Let's call the company
That makes this thing

And have them send us
Their customer database.

And this battery pack --

Let's see how long
It's good for.

Maybe our guy
Just ordered a few more.

Well, I can tell you
One thing, chief,

Deputy district attorney
Mason

Has got
A very interesting...Closet.

[ laughs ]

All sorts of things that vibrate
And...Glow in the dark.

And lisa mason
Never set foot

In her sister's house
Yesterday.

And she hasn't spent a night
There in over five months,

So that part of mason's story
Doesn't hold up.

Did you notice
If d.D.A. Mason

Had a lot of sunblock
In his house?

I didn't think to look.
Why?

He's not very tan, is he?

How would mason know
The county beaches well enough

To drop off the bodies
In eight different places?

That kind of knowledge would put
Some color in your cheeks,

Wouldn't it?

I think we have a match!

The jane doe
From the morgue.

Tammy reynolds.

Yeah, her boss called
About her two days ago.

She was supposed to be back
At work on monday,

Not officially missing yet.

She could still be on vacation
With her husband,

Who's name is robert --
Robert reynolds.

Brenda: on vacation?
Where?

Doesn't say.

Robert reynolds --
38, has a condo in santa monica,

A boat in the marina, couple
Of drug arrests in the '90s.

Has anyone reported
Mr. Reynolds missing?

Uh, can't tell from here.

Let me look into it.

I guess he's handsome.

Is it odd that the killer
Started up again

After eight years
By offing his own wife?

Well, it looked
A lot more personal.
I don't know.

Do you want to split up?

F.B.I. Will take the condo.
You guys take the marina.

Yes, that would be
A good idea.

Lieutenant provenza, could you
Please get us a search warrant

For mr. Reynolds' boat?

Detective sanchez,
Sergeant gabriel,

I'm gonna want some backup
When we get to the marina.

Lieutenant tao,
Now that we have them,

Let's start looking through
Lisa mason's computer files,

Maybe she met
Mr. Reynolds online.

And, uh, lieutenant flynn,

If you could do some background
Work on tammy reynolds,

See if she fits the profile
Of our other victims.

Thank you.

Hey.

I know you're exhausted
And this is important,

But if you're not done by
1:00 this afternoon,

You're still gonna have
To delegate for an hour

So we can make that follow-up
With your doctor.

Yes, yes, I know.

Delaney: as soon as you show me
That warrant,

I'll be happy
To let you pass.

If I could see if mr. Reynolds
Is onboard his boat...

The reynolds haven't been here
Since last saturday

When they took the boat out,
A little sunset tour.

Hardly worth all this fuss.

It's not a fuss.
It's a murder investigation.

Excuse me, sir.

Please, mr. Reynolds
Brought his boat

Back from vacation
And then took it out again?

They haven't been on vacation
Since last year.

You maybe have the wrong boat
Anyway, huh?

Hello, danny, how you doing?
Come on through.

You're letting everyone in
But us. Everyone.

Chief.

Oh.

Here is my legal authority.

Now step aside, sir.

Move!

Thank you.

[ seagulls squawking ]

Excuse me, sir.
What are you doing?

I -- I got an order
To straighten up the boat.

What order? When?

Mr. Reynolds called me
Sunday afternoon,

Said he cut himself
Cleaning fish,

Wanted me to see if I could
Clean the blood off his deck.

We'll take care of that.
Thank you, sir.

Blood.

Just keep moving.

Clear!

The galley's clear.

There's more blood
In the sink.

Nobody here, chief.

There was.

[ indistinct radio chatter ]

Provenza:
[ clears throat ]

We found some teeth.

I'm sending them
To the morgue

To see if they match
Tammy reynolds' mouth?

What are you thinking,
Chief?

I'm thinking I understand why
No one heard the victims scream.

They're dying out there,
Lieutenant.

We've been concentrating on
The wrong initial in p.C.H.

Our killer doesn't bring the
Victims down from the highway.

He's swimming them in
From the pacific.

Where is robert reynolds?

I mean, at this point,

We're moving into a manhunt,
Aren't we?

There's still another victim
To think about, lieutenant.

I don't want to
Find that guy carting
Another dead woman around.

I have to go for a bit.

While I'm on my way back
To the murder room,

I want to have this boat
Taken apart.

We're looking for floatation
Devices and oxygen tanks.

Get some divers in here,
Too.

Let's find out
What's underneath this thing.

I want that blood tested
For type.

And I want those results
As soon as possible.

Thank you, lieutenant.

Yes, ma'am.

Dr. Dioli:
Based on your labs,

I have a preliminary diagnosis
Of early onset menopause

And all the suffering
That goes with that --

Hot flashes, cramps,
Weight gain,

Also water retention,
Followed by night sweats,

Premature wrinkling,
And mood swings.

Oh, but...This isn't supposed
To be happening.

I'm about 100 years
Too young.

Yes, you are several years
Below the average age.

But you're not in control
Of your body.

And in your case,
It may be genetic.

Have you ever asked your mother
When she went through --

No.

Well, maybe you should
Give her a call.

Today, I feel fine.

Yes, and if you're lucky, you'll
Have lots of days like that.

I don't.

I haven't slept in three years,
And I keep a fan in my purse.

So, if it's not genetic, why
Else would this be happening?

Well, that's the question.

I've found
That early onset menopause

Is sometimes only a symptom
Of another illness.

And we should look to see
What that might be, yes?

Well, yeah, absolutely.

So, we'll take
Some more blood today,

And then I'll see when we can
Schedule you for a sonogram.

W-w-wait, wait, wait.

If you mean...
A symptom of something else,

Do you mean like -- like cancer
Or something like that?

That's not the first thing
That leaps to mind.

It can also be
Ovarian failure

Or a viral infection
That migrated to your organs.

I-I can't know.

So let's schedule you
For the sonogram

And see where that leads us,
Okay?

That would be great.
Thank you.

I'll be back
In a few minutes.

Did you find anything
In robert reynolds' condo?

Some of the same leather gear
Mason had, but no blood.

Hey, come on.
Hey.
[ crying ]

You're gonna be fine.

[ sobbing ] no, I'm not.

I'm gonna be old and wrinkled
And retain water and --

Hey, listen.
Hold on.

Look, I was planning on doing
This at dinner tonight.

I think it probably would have
Been a little more romantic,

But...

Chances are you're still
Gonna be working.

And this damn thing doesn't
Really fit in my pocket.

What damn thing?

I know in your heart you're
A bit of an old-fashioned girl.

So...

You see, uh...

I've arrived
At that place

Where I can't imagine life
Without you.

And, uh...

Let me just say...

I love you

More than anything else
In the world.

And, brenda,
Will you marry me, please?

[ sobbing ] you're only asking
Me 'cause you feel sorry for me.

No, I don't.
Not at all.

I don't feel sorry for you.
I am not being nice.

You are the woman I have been
Looking for my whole life.

And I'm taking advantage of you
When you're most vulnerable

Because I want you
To say yes.

So please say yes.

Oh, it's so beautiful.

Is it okay
If I keep my own name?

Of course.

Well...I guess
If you don't have

Any better sense
Than to ask me,

I guess I better
Marry you.

Because I think you're the guy
I've been looking for, too.

And here we are.

We found each other.

We found each other.

Gabriel: uh, chief?

Lieutenant provenza's
Still waiting for the divers
Down at the marina,

But I have d.D.A. Mason
In an interview room
If you're ready.

If you could just
Babysit him for a moment.

Okay.

Good work, chief.

We have everyone looking
For reynolds.

Including the coast guard
Since you made it clear

That he's murdering
These women at sea.

But d.D.A. Mason doesn't have
Much experience on the water

And he's one of us
And he just lost his wife,

So I wonder if questioning him
Now is a good use of our time.

It is.

I know every law-enforcement
Agency in the county

Is looking for our killer,
But so is someone else.

Who?

His next victim.

And she may have already
Found him.

And what makes you think mason
Can help you with that?

The woman's sizes
In his leather gear

And the previous bruising
On his wife's body.

Excuse me.

[ telephone rings ]

[ indistinct radio chatter ]

Tammy reynolds was definitely
Divorced last year.

Married reynolds
Six months ago.

Pictures of reynolds
We got off the internet.

He posted them himself.

It might be how he met
His victims --

Likes attention, pervert,
And tan.

Has anyone reported
Mr. Reynolds missing?

No, but he didn't disappear
Right away.

Made a few calls
After his wife's murder --

One call to his office,

One to the boat-maintenance guy
For the cleaning,

And one to the restaurant
Where his wife worked.

I have the names
And addresses

Of lisa and tammy's
Ex-husbands.

Lisa's lives in london --
Jeremy something --

And tammy's ex has a small
Business on pacific street,

Lucas d. Jones.

Would you like me
To call them?

No.
Thank you, lieutenant.

We may be notifying them
Of a death,

Which we have to do in person
When we have the time.

[ cellphone rings ]
Sorry.

Yes, lieutenant?

The blood in the cabin
Corresponds to tammy's type.

And, uh, the morgue matched
The teeth we found to her mouth.

So that's done.

Now, the blood on the deck
May be male.

Uh, hold on, lieutenant.
Hold on.

Okay.

So it looks like reynolds and
His wife had a domestic dispute,

Which pushed the guy
Back into psycho mode.

If it's reynolds,
Where did he kill lisa mason?

He hadn't been back
To the marina since saturday.

Does he have another boat
Somewhere?

Not registered.

And what have
The divers found?

They haven't got here yet.

Have they come across anything
That could have helped

Mr. Reynolds get his wife
To shore completely dry,

Like a rubber raft
Or a body bag?

No. No.

You want me to look around

And see if he borrowed
Any of that stuff from someone?

Yes, lieutenant,
And look very hard, please,

Because I'm worried we may be
Looking for the wrong man.

You got it, chief.

Chief johnson, I want you
To tell me exactly why I'm here.

Obviously, my wife was murdered
By a serial killer.

And from what my friends
In the sheriff's office tell me,

The first victim died
When I was in sacramento.

Mr. Mason, our search warrant
Produced evidence

Indicating that you
And your wife

Shared a less traditional view
Of marriage

Than the average couple.

Okay. None of that stuff
Is illegal to have or to buy.

Yes, but the amount
Of that stuff

Indicates more than
Simple experimentation.

And from the woman's sizes,
I have to assume

That your wife shared
Your interests, yes?

Look, sir,
In less than 39 hours,

Another woman could be
Found naked, tortured,

And strangled to death
On a beach.

I am trying to stop that
From happening.

And as an officer of the court
And the husband of the victim,

It is your duty
To help me.

Now, there are old bruises
On your wife's body,

Yet she was only abducted
Two nights ago.

So I need to know
Where those bruises came from.

Are you accusing me
Of domestic abuse?

You know I'm not.

I'll rephrase.

Were you and your wife
Into s&m?

Okay, you know what?
I'm -- I'm...

All right, yes, we were.

How does that help you?

Because I wonder if
This attitude that y'all have

Towards sex included,
As the victimology suggests,

Partners outside
Your marriage.

I asked you that question
Before, sir,

But this time,
I need a more truthful answer.

And this will really help?
Yes, sir.

Okay.

Yes, we had
An open relationship.

Is that enough?

No. I need to know
If you ever met any of the men

With whom your wife
Was having sex.

No, not met.

Then can you describe them?
Excuse me?

Can you tell me what kind of man
Your wife is attracted to?

Physically?
Did she have a type?

She's trying to get
An I.D. On reynolds,

Figure out how he met
Lisa mason.

It's a legitimate
Line of questioning, chief.

I didn't want to post
My picture on the internet

And neither did she.

Is there any way that we can
Accomplish what you want here

Without ruining my wife's
Reputation and mine?

She was
The victim here, right?

I-I'm very sorry.

But this is not
A judgment of your lifestyle.

It is a hurried
And difficult inquiry

Into how the killer
And your wife may have...

Found each other.

So, if you didn't
Meet people online,

I'm assuming that y'all went
To a bar or something like that.

My wife and I belong to
A private club called the verge.

It's a space organized
For these kind of...Encounters.

Look,
It was just sex, okay?

I loved lisa,
And lisa loved me.

I don't doubt it.

C-can you tell me
If you ever noticed

What kind of man attracted
Your wife's attention?

'cause one of those men
May have been her killer,

And you may have seen him, sir,
Just in passing.

I'm particularly interested
In anyone with access to boats

Or specific knowledge
Of the l.A. Coastline.

What, do you think she talked
To them about geography?

Maybe you heard a name.
Robert reynolds --

Names?!
There are no names, okay?

All right, you want every
Dark detail. Here you go.

She liked really fit guys
In their mid-30's to mid-40's.

Military types
Were a big plus.

And she was into getting tied
Up, which didn't interest me,

So sometimes she went
To the verge on her own.

They have a special night
For bondage.

So you and your wife
Had sex at the club?

It's a sex club.

What do you think we did?

So, this sex club, the verge,
Has over 6,000 members,

Almost 2,000 of whom
Are female.

Now, you're not gonna even have
Time to find them all,

Let alone talk to them.

Some of these women are from
Out of town and will be single.

All our victims are divorced
And from l.A. County,

So it is reasonable
To assume

That the killer's next victim
Will fit this profile.

We've already got
An all-out manhunt

In progress
For this robert reynolds --

The area beaches, the highways,
All the local marinas.

We are straining
The limits of what county
Law enforcement can do.

But obviously, the killer is
Choosing his victims in advance,

And the verge
Could help him do that.

Now, we know that reynolds
Was a member.

And based
On that information,

We've included the verge
On the list of places
We're watching. And that's it.

But we are
Only concentrating

On one side
Of this search operation.

Looking for the killer
Is important,

But it's also important
To find the woman

That he is about
To murder.

Now, if you would just let me
Have some extra people

To contact the women
On this list --

We don't have
Any extra people.

I said, "That's it."

I heard you say
You wanted to talk

To the ex-husbands
Of the other victims.

That sounds like
A good idea.

All right, fine.

Pardon me, sir.

[ elevator bell dings ]

Flynn: chief.
Yes.

So, now what, chief?

Well, I guess I'll talk
To tammy reynolds' ex,

This lucas d. Jones,

While I'm still alert
Enough to drive,

And see if he can tell me
Something I don't already know.

Meanwhile, I want you
And the rest of the squad

To start calling all the women
On that list from the verge,

But discretely, discretely
Start warning them.

We'll do what we can,
Chief.

Thank you, lieutenant.

I appreciate it.

[ seagulls squawking ]

[ door closes ]

Hello?

[ bell dings ]

Anyone here?

[ machine buzzing ]

[ buzzing stops ]

Hey.

Didn't mean to interrupt
Your work.

Nah, it's slow lately.

More time
For surfing, then.

When I have the energy.

You scared the living daylights
Out of me earlier.

You are the, uh, police lady,
Right?

I am.

Brenda johnson, l.A.P.D.,
And you must be lucas d. Jones?

"D" stands for daniel,
But people call me danny.

Hmm.

Can I help you
With something?

[ cellphone rings ]
Oh, sorry.

I'm just here
To, uh, follow up on, um...

That phone call
Mr. Reynolds made,

Asking you
To clean his boat.

[ ringing continues ]

Sorry, I just, uh,
I need to get this.

Hey, no problemo.

Brenda: hello?

Chief,
We found reynolds.

Where?

Tied up under his boat
With his head cut off.

Divers just brought him up.

Right now we're identifying him
By his tattoo.

Chief?

Chief, you there?

Chief?

Yes, lieutenant?

Well, that's interesting.

Chief...Anything wrong?

Yes, lieutenant.
Yes.

Um, I'm just gonna
Finish this call,

And I'll be --
I'll be right back.

Sure. Okay.

Chief?

Lieutenant, I need backup
At 37401 pacific street.

Chief, I can't hear you.

I said,
I need backup at 3740--

Aah!

Aah!

[ breathing heavily ]

Where's
Mr. Reynolds' cellphone?

Did you use one of those
Boats you were repairing
To murder lisa mason?

Are there any other victims
We should know about?

[ gun cocks ]

[ brenda groans ]

[ muffled heartbeat ]

Chief.

It's from
Lieutenant flynn.

"Remember, chief,
When recovering from shock,

It's important to keep
Your legs elevated."

[ laughs ]
For heaven's sake.

Well, flynn's a class act.

Ow. Ow.

You sure you want to hear
All this?

Yes.
Just summarize.

All right.

Danny's father
Was a long beach police officer,

Mother...An exotic dancer.

She divorced three times.

Danny went into the navy
At 17, boat mechanic,

Eventually tried to become
A s.E.A.L.

Let me guess -- he failed
The psychological profile.

He did.
Are you surprised?

[ sarcastically ] very.
Go on.

So, in 1998,
He comes to l.A.,

Becomes a freelance
Boat mechanic,

Kills a lot of people,

Then married a girl
Named tammy.

She divorced him
Last year

And remarried robert reynolds
Six months ago.

And danny jones reverts,

Joins the verge
With a fake I.D.,

And --
What's the matter?

Mr. Jones should be telling me
This, not you.

Are you seriously upset

You didn't get a confession
From this guy?

I got him by luck.

Killing someone's not my idea
Of closing a case anyway.

The lucky thing is you got him
Before he got you.

And one other thing --
Take a good look at that.

Who's that?

Melinda trent.

And tonight,
She had a date with danny jones,

Who she met at the verge.

They were going on
A sunset sail.

You kept that guy
From killing someone.

And you were right...
About everything.

Melinda trent.

Remember that name.

You know what?

What?

I'm so glad
Not to be dating ever again.

I mean,
Really...Really glad.

Ow.
Ah.

Does that hurt?

No.

Does that?

No.
