second year.
Is she moving out of state?

If he hurts her,

The last time he listened to you
was a very long
fucking time ago, Michelle.

What does it matter?
- It matters.

I think he wants
to be with me now.
Kind of seems that way, huh?
Jesus Christ, man. Move!
Get off the path, asshole.
I want to hire you.
For a friend.
- Okay.
- Her name's Claire.
Her husband just left her
for a 22-year-old,
and she's feeling really
really sad,
and ugly and alone,
and I was hoping
that I could pay you
to, you know, seduce her.
Okay, and this, uh,
this friend of yours,
this, uh
- Claire.
- Claire, right. She-she
You think that's what she wants?
To She wants to be seduced?
I mean, I don't think
it matters how far it goes.
I think she just, you know,
wants to be seen.
Seen?
Yeah, someone to notice her.
- Someone to want her.
- Uh-huh.
And this, um
this whole little caper
that you're arranging,
how would it
How do you think
it should go down?
I figured we'd be out
together at a bar.
- Mm. Mm-hmm.
- Um, have a few drinks.
And maybe you're at the bar,
- and you come over.
- Wow. And when I get there,
what do I say? What
Tell her she's smart.
- She's beautiful.
- She's interesting.
Claire, you are smart,
and you are beautiful,
and you are interesting.
- Not like that.
- Like what?
Like you mean it.
Where are you from,
Mrs. Stratton?
- She's from Dallas.
- Hmm.
Yeah, I don't give
a shit about Claire.
I want to know
where you're from.
Bakersfield.
What?
- See, I knew you'd laugh. What?
- You know Bakersfield?
You're from fucking Bakersfield?
Yeah, I'm from Bakersfield.
You're fr
You're a desert girl.
What? Yeah. What do you know
about Bakersfield?
Wow. What do you mean, "What

Olga is incapacitated.
Sh-She has great trouble
speaking.
Really? But she
can speak, though?
She has great trouble.
Yeah, you said that.
I'm sure with a guy
like you around,
you translate for her,

- Excuse me, gentlemen.
Man, it's good to see you, man.
Yeah. Welcome home.-
- You weren't lying, man.

Yeah. It's a peace of mind.

A place to clock

- I got this boy Luther,
right on the corner
of Market and Venice.
- Okay.

Better just hope
you're on my team, Bo.
You know I'm a solo act.
I'll see you around, man.
All right, sweetheart.
The warrant will be served
at the offices of
Hoke and Miller.
We have reason to believe
multiple partners
at the firm have
falsified invoices,
or otherwise embezzled money
from their clients in a scheme
lasting two years or more.-
Given this
new information regarding
the falsified documents,
I think that traditionally
Hey, what's the judge's
Wi-Fi password?
Can't give that out.
You see, Judge Wettick,
they've clearly been involved
in corporate malfeasance
"They've clearly been involved
in corporate malfeasance."
- You know, you can give it to me.
- She gave it to me before.
She lets me have it
all the time, you know.
I just don't remember
what it was.
It was named after her, uh
Her dog.
Her dog, that's right.
Thank you, Danny.
How do you spell that?
- Are you messing with me?
- No.
- You're messing with me.
- The name's Fido?
Like Fi Yeah.
It's not Fido, Danny.
It's not Fido. Hey, Judge.
We're done for the day,
Detective Sunday.
- That is a very nice outfit.
- Is that new?
Mm-hmm. What do you want?
Search warrant.
You need to go see
another judge.
Listen, it's not
corporate malfeasance.
It's a murder case.
Young girl.
It'll take you, like,
two minutes. Come on.
I'm so hungry.
Last night was amazing.
I just have that
nervous feeling.
Ah
'Cause I don't know
how you feel.
And
I don't want to
I don't know,
I don't want to pry.
And I want you to
Guess I want you to think
I'm, like
I don't know, like, a cool girl
who doesn't really care
as much as I actually do.
I'm scared as shit.
Yo, can I help you?
Yeah, I'm looking for Luther.
Who are you?
I'm J, I'm a friend of Bo.
- Told me to ask for Luther.
- I'm looking for some work.
- You know Bo?
- I do.
- Bet.
- Yeah.
- What's good, man?
- Come on in. I got you.
Right in there.
7:01.7:04.
7:08.
You must be pretty shocked.
I know I am.
Have you heard from Elizabeth?
Do you know where they are?
Our lawyer said
I shouldn't talk to you.
Come on, man.
Your wife kidnapped my son.
Please.
Please, if you know
anything, just
Just tell me,
and I'll do whatever I can
to protect them both.
So, her husband asks her,
he says, "Ellida,
do you love this stranger?"
And she says, "Love him?
How can I say?
I only know that, to me,
he's a terrible thing,
but that
"it's with him I feel I belong."
So, her husband says,
"Then I will consent
to let you go."
Hey, does that tickle?
That feels nice.
Your husband
ever paint your nails?
No.
Hey, you know how
I always thought of you,
- Mrs. Shannonhouse?
- Being so imposing.
Hmm.
Standing up there,
so big and powerful.
And now?
What do you think now?
I think you have
really pretty knees.
Pretty thighs.
- Okay, so her husband
- Mm-hmm.
- Wangle
- Mm-hmm.
He let her go?
Right?
Why?
He let her choose
what she wanted.
Okay, so now that
she can choose,
that means that
she can also choose to
- not go with her lover, right?
- Right.
So, what did she do?
She stayed with her husband.
And you?
If your husband said that
you could go with me,
would you have stayed with him?
I'm here, aren't I?
I'm here with you.
Yeah. Yeah.
Yeah, you are. Yeah.
- Yeah.
- Yeah.
Are you ever scared?
Yeah. Terrified.
Hey.
Don't worry, Mrs. Shannonhouse.
Hey. Venga, venga, venga.
Is that your dog?
The fuck? Course she's mine.
Uh, no, uh She-she was,
- she was following me.
- Following you?
Yeah, I saw her
down at the beach.
She followed me
all the way up here.
- Did you fucking feed my dog?
- I-I'm sorry?
Don't fucking feed my dog,
and stay the fuck away from us.
Hi.
It's you again. Hmm.
You told me that, uh,
I-I could come back if I was
able to secure a-a job,
and-and I just wanted you
to know that I did.
- Is this real?
- Yes, ma'am.
That was quick.-
Yeah. Lucky, I guess.
No such thing as luck.
Fair enough.
You want to see the place?
Yes, ma'am.
Entrez.
- Okay?
- Yeah.
Okay. My shoes?
You might want to leave them on.
Okay.
Where were you
staying at before?
I was, um
I was, I was upstate.
Upstate where?
At the-the desert.
You got references?
Uh, no, ma'am. I-I was a
- I was an inmate.
- High Desert State Prison.
Hmm. That's a different kind
of desert.
Yes, ma'am.
So, is this through your P.O.?
- No, ma'am.
- I-I-I don't have a P.O.
I was, I was exonerated
of my charges.
Well, how long
were you up there?
15 years.
15 years?
I guess you ain't got no pets.
- No, ma'am.
- Allergies?
'Cause there might
be a cat around here.
I think I'm okay.
You got any bad habits? Drugs?
No.
Weed is fine, so don't lie.
Yeah, well
Look, I live
right upstairs, so
- noise, I don't do.
- I hear everything.
Okay. Um
The lady that was here before,
she was nice and quiet.
She was a friend of mine.
She passed away
in that bathroom.
Her grandkids ain't
cleaned up shit, so
I know you're gonna
need some stuff.
If you want anything from here,
you could take it.
- You can have it.
- Ma'am, I'm
I'm-I'm more than happy to,
you know,
help get rid of
some of this stuff.
Yeah, I'd be happy about that.
I'll take a little
off your rent, first month only.
Thank you, ma'am.
Be right back.
- Sorry for your loss, ma'am.
- Thank you.
And don't-don't call me "ma'am"
no more. I don't like that.
You you got it.
We were founded in 1952
by a man of God
named Glenn Hewitt.
As you can tell, by day,
we're a traditional school,
but, uh, Glenn Hewitt
is so much more.
Students not only enjoy clubs,
sports and activities,
but also jobs, church,
uh, therapy and social-emotional
development.
You all really lucked out
with these two.
Keisha and Miguel are two
of our top students.
Keisha, would you
be comfortable sharing
with us what first
brought you here?
Yeah. When my mom died,
I lashed out.
Started running with
the wrong crowd, so my grandma
sent me here. And, uh,
it was a little rough at first,
but I really came to love it.
Hey.
If that dumpster
gets full, you can't
- put that stuff on the street.
- I'm not paying for a fine.
No problem.
And I saw your little article.
You forgot to tell me
that you was out here selling
your business, huh?
- Ah, it was a
- it was a long time ago.
Mm-hmm.
Look.
You can't be doing that business
here in my building.
Okay?
I don't do that anymore.
All right.
Hey, uh,
I found some of her, uh
you know,
personal belongings
- and some photos.
- No, no.
- You know, you're in them.
- I told you, I don't want
anything from in here. Toss it.
- Well, I'll tell you what.
- Why don't I just,
you know, leave them out
in the hallway, in case
you change your mind.-
Hey!
- Hi.
- Hi.
The treadmills, TVs,
- not working.
- Oh, yeah.
The last one went out today.
Really?
So why am I paying
75 bucks a month
to not watch
Will & Grace right now?
Probably because you're
too cheap to pay 350 bucks
at Equinox to watch
whatever the hell you want.
Is that so?
Or you could just use
your iPhone.
Do you even have Internet here?
Or you steal it from
the burger place next door?
We got it.
The password is
"Dress For The Body You Have,"
but the "A" is an ampersand.
Hey.
- Hi.
- You look nice.
Thank you.
Yo, can I hit that?
- Yeah, sure.
- What, you got a date?
Nah.
I got to go to this
gallery thing.
Show my face.
Well, you know,
I got some food cooking.
- Would you
- would you eat with me?
Come on. Come on, just
You don't want to go
on an empty stomach.
Let me cook for you.
No, I don't want to go at all.
Well, go ahead
and sit down. Put your
- put your feet up.
- That's it.
I'm gonna show you
what I can do.
I was a legend of Tier 3,
Cell Block C.
That sounds like a country song.
So, only women?
Ah, come on.
Yeah. Only women.
I figured you'd make
more money with men.
That's fair.
What, you got some
sort of hang-up?
Nah.
Not at all. It's just
You know, it's not my bag.
Well, sex is sex, right?
Not really about the sex.
- It's not? So what you selling?
- Cooking lessons?
You know, it's more about
what happens before, you know?
Happens after.
Hell, the women
that I work with,
I don't know, some of them
They're just lonely, you know?
- You know, they're sad.
- Some are
you know, a little angry,
a little frustrated. Some
some are bored.
Some are just busy.
It's my job to really see them,
and-and-and if I can, I
try to get them
to open up a little bit.
What you mean "open up"?
You know, it's like this window.
I walked in that apartment,
it was clear
nobody had touched that window
in years, you know.
- It was stuck.
- It just
And I knew if I forced it,
it was never gonna open.
It'd probably break.
So, I went slow.
I was I was soft.
I got it to open a little bit,
but I'll tell you what,
that whole room changed.
All of a sudden, I could
I could hear the ocean.
Have you ever had
a real relationship?
Lisa.
Hi, Julian.
It's fine. Come on.
- LAPD. Open up.
- We have a search warrant.
It's open.
Stay the fuck out.
You've reached the voice mail
of Olga Desnain.
Please leave your name
and number at the tone.
Put your hands up!-
"I don't remember."
That bullshit isn't gonna fly.
Enjoy the day.
Kevin Finnegan. Piece of shit.
Decides to confess
to a string of murders.
You know what that means,
Julian?
You're a free man.
But they all knew what
I was doing to pay the rent.
Everybody knew.
My name is Olga.
J'attendais pour le beau Julian.
Who's Julian?
You are, Johnny.
What are you doing
with that woman?
I don't know. I guess
whatever she wants.
Johnny.
You can't let him see you. No.
- What's the problem?
- Wait a second.
How long you been
teaching at the school?
This was my
second year.
Is she moving out of state?
She's moving out of state.
Colin.
She's your teacher.
If he hurts her,
I'll fucking kill him.
Colin ran off with the teacher.
- He'll listen to me.
- He will?
Yeah.
The last time he listened to you
was a very long
fucking time ago, Michelle.
I want to see the queen.
You want to see Olga,
and you want
to get back to work?
Why not?
Go.
Follow me.
Yeah. Oh, yeah.

So, let me ask you this.
Why would she want to have
that young girl killed?
Madam Olga.
So, why would Madam Olga
pay Finnegan
to kill that girl like he did
with you right next to her, huh?
What does it matter?
- It matters.
- Yeah.
It matters. The fucking girl,
her whole life in front of her.
- You, 15 years of your life.
- That matters.
Leave it alone, Detective.

You just leave shit alone?

Get off the path, asshole.
I want to hire you.
For a friend.
- Okay.
- Her name's Claire.
Her husband just left her
for a 22-year-old,
and she's feeling really
really sad,
and ugly and alone,
and I was hoping
that I could pay you
to, you know, seduce her.
Okay, and this, uh,
this friend of yours,
this, uh
- Claire.
- Claire, right. She-she
You think that's what she wants?
To She wants to be seduced?
I mean, I don't think
it matters how far it goes.
I think she just, you know,
wants to be seen.
Seen?
Yeah, someone to notice her.
- Someone to want her.
- Uh-huh.
And this, um
this whole little caper
that you're arranging,
how would it
How do you think
it should go down?
I figured we'd be out
together at a bar.

- Um, have a few drinks.
And maybe you're at the bar,
- and you come over.
- Wow. And when I get there,
what do I say? What
Tell her she's smart.
- She's beautiful.
- She's interesting.
Claire, you are smart,
and you are beautiful,
and you are interesting.
- Not like that.
- Like what?
Like you mean it.
Where are you from,
Mrs. Stratton?
- She's from Dallas.
- Hmm.
Yeah, I don't give
a shit about Claire.
I want to know

speaking.
Really? But she
can speak, though?
She has great trouble.

You know I'm a solo act.
I'll see you around, man.
All right, sweetheart.
The warrant will be served
at the offices of
Hoke and Miller.
We have reason to believe
multiple partners
at the firm have
falsified invoices,
or otherwise embezzled money
from their clients in a scheme
lasting two years or more.-
Given this
new information regarding
the falsified documents,
I think that traditionally
Hey, what's the judge's
Wi-Fi password?
Can't give that out.
You see, Judge Wettick,
they've clearly been involved
in corporate malfeasance
"They've clearly been involved
in corporate malfeasance."
- You know, you can give it to me.
- She gave it to me before.
She lets me have it
all the time, you know.
I just don't remember
what it was.
It was named after her, uh
Her dog.
Her dog, that's right.
Thank you, Danny.
How do you spell that?
- Are you messing with me?
- No.
- You're messing with me.
- The name's Fido?
Like Fi Yeah.
It's not Fido, Danny.
It's not Fido. Hey, Judge.
We're done for the day,
Detective Sunday.
- That is a very nice outfit.
- Is that new?
Mm-hmm. What do you want?
Search warrant.
You need to go see
another judge.
Listen, it's not
corporate malfeasance.
It's a murder case.
Young girl.
It'll take you, like,
two minutes. Come on.
I'm so hungry.
Last night was amazing.
I just have that
nervous feeling.
Ah
'Cause I don't know
how you feel.
And
I don't want to
I don't know,
I don't want to pry.
And I want you to
Guess I want you to think
I'm, like
I don't know, like, a cool girl
who doesn't really care
as much as I actually do.
I'm scared as shit.
Yo, can I help you?
Yeah, I'm looking for Luther.
Who are you?
I'm J, I'm a friend of Bo.
- Told me to ask for Luther.
- I'm looking for some work.
- You know Bo?
- I do.
- Bet.
- Yeah.
- What's good, man?
- Come on in. I got you.
Right in there.
7:01.7:04.
7:08.
You must be pretty shocked.
I know I am.
Have you heard from Elizabeth?
Do you know where they are?
Our lawyer said
I shouldn't talk to you.
Come on, man.
Your wife kidnapped my son.
Please.
Please, if you know
anything, just
Just tell me,
and I'll do whatever I can
to protect them both.
So, her husband asks her,
he says, "Ellida,
do you love this stranger?"
And she says, "Love him?
How can I say?
I only know that, to me,
he's a terrible thing,
but that
"it's with him I feel I belong."
So, her husband says,
"Then I will consent
to let you go."
Hey, does that tickle?
That feels nice.
Your husband
ever paint your nails?
No.
Hey, you know how
I always thought of you,
- Mrs. Shannonhouse?
- Being so imposing.
Hmm.
Standing up there,
so big and powerful.
And now?
What do you think now?
I think you have
really pretty knees.
Pretty thighs.
- Okay, so her husband
- Mm-hmm.
- Wangle
- Mm-hmm.
He let her go?
Right?
Why?
He let her choose
what she wanted.
Okay, so now that
she can choose,
that means that
she can also choose to
- not go with her lover, right?
- Right.
So, what did she do?
She stayed with her husband.
And you?
If your husband said that
you could go with me,
would you have stayed with him?
I'm here, aren't I?
I'm here with you.
Yeah. Yeah.
Yeah, you are. Yeah.
- Yeah.
- Yeah.
Are you ever scared?
Yeah. Terrified.
Hey.
Don't worry, Mrs. Shannonhouse.
Hey. Venga, venga, venga.
Is that your dog?
The fuck? Course she's mine.
Uh, no, uh She-she was,
- she was following me.
- Following you?
Yeah, I saw her
down at the beach.
She followed me
all the way up here.
- Did you fucking feed my dog?
- I-I'm sorry?
Don't fucking feed my dog,
and stay the fuck away from us.
Hi.
It's you again. Hmm.
You told me that, uh,
I-I could come back if I was
able to secure a-a job,
and-and I just wanted you
to know that I did.
- Is this real?
- Yes, ma'am.
That was quick.-
Yeah. Lucky, I guess.
No such thing as luck.
Fair enough.
You want to see the place?
Yes, ma'am.
Entrez.
- Okay?
- Yeah.
Okay. My shoes?
You might want to leave them on.
Okay.
Where were you
staying at before?
I was, um
I was, I was upstate.
Upstate where?
At the-the desert.
You got references?
Uh, no, ma'am. I-I was a
- I was an inmate.
- High Desert State Prison.
Hmm. That's a different kind
of desert.
Yes, ma'am.
So, is this through your P.O.?
- No, ma'am.
- I-I-I don't have a P.O.
I was, I was exonerated
of my charges.
Well, how long
were you up there?
15 years.
15 years?
I guess you ain't got no pets.
- No, ma'am.
- Allergies?
'Cause there might
be a cat around here.
I think I'm okay.
You got any bad habits? Drugs?
No.
Weed is fine, so don't lie.
Yeah, well
Look, I live
right upstairs, so
- noise, I don't do.
- I hear everything.
Okay. Um
The lady that was here before,
she was nice and quiet.
She was a friend of mine.
She passed away
in that bathroom.
Her grandkids ain't
cleaned up shit, so
I know you're gonna
need some stuff.
If you want anything from here,
you could take it.
- You can have it.
- Ma'am, I'm
I'm-I'm more than happy to,
you know,
help get rid of
some of this stuff.
Yeah, I'd be happy about that.
I'll take a little
off your rent, first month only.
Thank you, ma'am.
Be right back.
- Sorry for your loss, ma'am.
- Thank you.
And don't-don't call me "ma'am"
no more. I don't like that.
You you got it.
We were founded in 1952
by a man of God
named Glenn Hewitt.
As you can tell, by day,
we're a traditional school,
but, uh, Glenn Hewitt
is so much more.
Students not only enjoy clubs,
sports and activities,
but also jobs, church,
uh, therapy and social-emotional
development.
You all really lucked out
with these two.
Keisha and Miguel are two
of our top students.
Keisha, would you
be comfortable sharing
with us what first
brought you here?
Yeah. When my mom died,
I lashed out.
Started running with
the wrong crowd, so my grandma
sent me here. And, uh,
it was a little rough at first,
but I really came to love it.
Hey.
If that dumpster
gets full, you can't
- put that stuff on the street.
- I'm not paying for a fine.
No problem.
And I saw your little article.
You forgot to tell me
that you was out here selling
your business, huh?
- Ah, it was a
- it was a long time ago.
Mm-hmm.
Look.
You can't be doing that business
here in my building.
Okay?
I don't do that anymore.
All right.
Hey, uh,
I found some of her, uh
you know,
personal belongings
- and some photos.
- No, no.
- You know, you're in them.
- I told you, I don't want
anything from in here. Toss it.
- Well, I'll tell you what.
- Why don't I just,
you know, leave them out
in the hallway, in case
you change your mind.-
Hey!
- Hi.
- Hi.
The treadmills, TVs,
- not working.
- Oh, yeah.
The last one went out today.
Really?
So why am I paying
75 bucks a month
to not watch
Will & Grace right now?
Probably because you're
too cheap to pay 350 bucks
at Equinox to watch
whatever the hell you want.
Is that so?
Or you could just use
your iPhone.
Do you even have Internet here?
Or you steal it from
the burger place next door?
We got it.
The password is
"Dress For The Body You Have,"
but the "A" is an ampersand.
Hey.
- Hi.
- You look nice.
Thank you.
Yo, can I hit that?
- Yeah, sure.
- What, you got a date?
Nah.
I got to go to this
gallery thing.
Show my face.
Well, you know,
I got some food cooking.
- Would you
- would you eat with me?
Come on. Come on, just
You don't want to go
on an empty stomach.
Let me cook for you.
No, I don't want to go at all.
Well, go ahead
and sit down. Put your
- put your feet up.
- That's it.
I'm gonna show you
what I can do.
I was a legend of Tier 3,
Cell Block C.
That sounds like a country song.
So, only women?
Ah, come on.
Yeah. Only women.
I figured you'd make
more money with men.
That's fair.
What, you got some
sort of hang-up?
Nah.
Not at all. It's just
You know, it's not my bag.
Well, sex is sex, right?
Not really about the sex.
- It's not? So what you selling?
- Cooking lessons?
You know, it's more about
what happens before, you know?
Happens after.
Hell, the women
that I work with,
I don't know, some of them
They're just lonely, you know?
- You know, they're sad.
- Some are
you know, a little angry,
a little frustrated. Some
some are bored.
Some are just busy.
It's my job to really see them,
and-and-and if I can, I
try to get them
to open up a little bit.
What you mean "open up"?
You know, it's like this window.
I walked in that apartment,
it was clear
nobody had touched that window
in years, you know.
- It was stuck.
- It just
And I knew if I forced it,
it was never gonna open.
It'd probably break.
So, I went slow.
I was I was soft.
I got it to open a little bit,
but I'll tell you what,
that whole room changed.
All of a sudden, I could
I could hear the ocean.
Have you ever had
a real relationship?
Lisa.
Hi, Julian.
It's fine. Come on.
- LAPD. Open up.
- We have a search warrant.
It's open.
Stay the fuck out.
