So come with me, show you how to dream (DOOR OPENS, CLOSES) (PHONE CHIMES) (ELEVATOR BELL DINGS) Like shooting fish in a barrel.
Am I right, bro? (SCREAMS) (GRUNTING, CLATTERING) (GRUNTING AND CLATTERING CONTINUES ON TV) (GRUNTS) BOY: Central Intelligence.

DVD.
Action, comedy, romance.
Anyone? I got The Rock.
Central Intelligence.
Movies.
DVD.
Action, comedy, romance.
Anyone? Hello, mister.
If you like taking pictures, you got to love movies.
And if you love movies, you got to love The Rock.
I'm not interested.
You don't like The Rock? That's not what I said.
I love The Rock.
People think he's just an action star, but he does comedy, drama.
He does movies for even kids.
Did you even see Moana? He has range, man.
Okay.
I-I'll buy a couple movies from you if you just get off my back.
- Deal? - Deal.
Hanni.
Come on.
He's buying.
- HANNI: Rafi, come on.
He's buying.
- Hey, hey, hey.
I'm just buying some badass action movies.
I'm not causing any trouble.
Sorry.
That will never, ever happen again.
All my movies are 100% guaranteed badass.
You come back and tell me these are not badass, I will give you a full refund minus restocking fees.
Restocking fees? All right.
This looks nothing like The Rock.
It's an artistic rendering.
Debatable.
Where's my change? I will have to pay you back somehow.
Maybe with information.
Oh, yeah? What kind of scoops is an eight-year-old kid gonna give me? I'm nine.
And I know you're not a journalist, American.
Do you, now? What if I told you the bad people you are watching know you are here and planted a bomb in your car? Why are you telling me this? I told you.
I know things.
And I don't want to lose a valued customer.
See you around.
Or not.
(SPEAKING ARABIC) comedy, action and drama.
(ENGINE RUMBLES) (SCREAMING NEARBY) (GLASS BREAKING, CAR ALARM BLARING) (CAR ALARM STOPS) MANAGER: Dude.
He got away? Saw what he was doing to your car and I was like, "Not cool, bro.
" Not to my best tenant and best friend, Cole.
Nah It's not a big deal.
Happens all the time.
Dude, I appreciate your Zen.
It's like one of my favorite things about you, but, like I'll take care of it, George.
Trust me.
Oh.
It's-It's Gus, dude.
I got a badge.
But, hey, man, that's my other favorite thing about you, dude.
You just power through adversity, Cole.
When you see me in the city and we're broke, no Please don't let 'em in if we don't know them TRISH: Did you make coffee? Oh, hey, Mom.
Nice blouse, hey.
Dad, you know you look good in gray.
Single origin Ethiopian light roast, anyone? Thank you.
It's a big day.
Yeah, it is.
- You're up before noon.
- (LAUGHS) - Call that a national holiday.
- (LAUGHS) So you, you guys remember when I, uh, when I dropped out of college, right? - Remember that.
- Do we remember that? - I have nightmares.
- Do you? - Yes.
- Me, too.
Oh, yeah.
So, you know, I've been searching for what to do next.
You're going back to college.
He's going back to college.
- No, no.
Better.
- Better? Yeah.
I'm going to Costa Rica to apprentice in the coffee trade.
Yeah, get a little education while I work.
- Honey, Costa Rica.
- Yeah.
That's, that's big.
And that's dumb.
I mean, what's there to learn about coffee? It's black, it tastes like battery acid, but everybody loves the caffeine.
There, apprenticed.
What? Wh-why would you - Why can't I just - I'm just giving you the wisdom of my experience.
That's what parents are for.
- To advise you that this is a dumb idea - Honey.
- And that you're not gonna do it.
- What your - That's what we saved up for.
- No, honey.
What your father's saying No.
What he means is do it his way.
That's what I mean.
If you want to live in the same place your whole life, that's good for you, but I'm not making that mistake.
Mistake? So it's a mistake to pay your bills and keep a roof over your family's heads.
It's a mistake to build a future.
Look, I didn't even mean it like that.
You know why I didn't go traipsing around the world? Because I was here raising you.
So that you could have the privilege of talking back at me.
Well, I signed the paperwork.
All right? I'm going.
MURTAUGH: My mistake.
- I don't make mistakes.
- Oh.
- What's that? Coffee? - Here you go.
I don't even want to smell it.
I'm switching to tea.
That was my Listen.
This is important, okay? The victim You see, Scorsese, this is what a man who makes mistakes looks like.
Morning, Roger, Scorsese.
Wh-wh-wh-what happened? Huh? The car? Yeah.
Nothing.
It's something.
Did you get into an accident on your way here? No.
I found it like that this morning.
A hit and run? You're police; you can find this guy.
I know who it is; the guy's got his reasons.
The guy's got his reasons.
Can we Is the murder this way? Yes.
Murtaugh, the victim is a male in his mid-30s.
He just left a woman's apartment after picking her up from the bar.
Stabbed in the middle of his throat.
And we found him with a note in his mouth, that reads "I'm a pig who must die.
" Correct.
I'm feeling left out.
Ten years ago, we had a serial killer that was preying on womanizing men.
He killed four in a row.
- He got away? - Hell no.
I put that son of a bitch in jail.
He's there now.
LEO: Or did you Detective Murtaugh? Oh, and Leo's here for some reason.
Yes, because I represent Dan Harrison, a man who, years ago, you wrongfully convicted for four murders exactly like this one, hmm? Dan Harrison is guilty.
This is a copycat.
And how are you here? Because Leo Getz has a police scanner in his apartment, and by apartment, I mean my car.
Holy Magic Mike, you must be the new partner.
How do you do? I'm Leo Getz.
I'm part of the team here.
- You're not part of the team.
- I'm-I'm-I'm a a sidekick, at-at least.
You and I should get lunch, break the ice, get to know each other.
I'm not big on lunches.
This is L.
A.
, nobody says that.
What I meant to say is that I'm not big on ambulance-chasing lawyers.
But thank you.
And now I have your DNA.
So you know, my friend, I also happen to be the host of a moderately successful true crime podcast.
Detective Murtaugh, did you or did you not put an innocent man behind bars years ago, leaving a serial killer to roam the streets of Los Angeles? Speak right into the thing and answer in, like, a complete sentence, if you can.
I need a damn coffee.
Rafi? Hold on.
Rafi.
What are you doing here? Just picked him up on a felony vandalism charge.
He trashed someone's car.
What? That can't be right.
I didn't report anything.
It must have been the motel manager.
You need to release him.
- I can talk to the arresting officer.
- No.
I need to be booked.
- Okay.
- No.
- Release him.
- I need to be booked.
Well, then I'll post his bail.
I don't want his money.
I take full responsibility.
Felony vandalism, I plead guilty.
Okay, hold up, hold up.
Give us a moment Please.
Rafi, come on.
This is not where you want to be.
Let me get you out.
You just don't learn.
You keep throwing money at me like there's a price tag you can't see.
Know why I trashed your car? 'Cause ripping up the first five checks you sent didn't stop them from coming.
I wanted to help.
I know you enrolled in college here, I just figured You figured if you paid for my college you might forget you got my brother killed.
- No.
- You figured I would.
Rafi.
Stop trying to make it better.
Just be the bad guy.
Officer.
LEO: In a case that rocked Los Angeles, our corrupt justice system convicted bartender Dan Harrison.
Guilty? Or did a rogue cop railroad an innocent man to get injustice? Sponsored by Marty's Muffins.
That's me? A "rogue cop"? You're featured heavily in episode three, "The Dirty Detective," where he makes this crazy case that you framed Dan Harrison.
- You listen to his podcast? - You listen to my podcast! I have a long commute, and Leo is a much better podcaster than he is an attorney.
I mean, it's complete fiction.
This is ridiculous.
His footprints were at every crime scene.
A lot of people wear shoes.
He had contact with every victim, and a 15-page typed manifesto indicting womanizers.
The evidence was overwhelming.
You say overwhelming.
I give you the theory that the killer was actually a woman who wanted vengeance on men and knew that she could frame Dan Harrison.
My audience demands (WHISPERS): that you reopen the case.
Well, you can tell both of them it's not gonna happen.
I put the right man behind bars ten years ago.
Excuse me, Detective.
We got lucky.
Gas station camera picked up a car leaving our scene this morning.
DMV got us an address.
Well, if you'll excuse me, I have to go put another killer away.
COLE: Totally on board with the copycat theory.
I noticed that one of the original victims - was the district attorney at the time.
- McGregor.
He made the case more high-profile.
And, before you ask, the answer is no.
There was no rush to judgment.
I wasn't gonna ask.
But everyone makes mistakes.
Well, I didn't.
Okay.
All right.
LAPD! (CLATTERING) (COCKS PISTOL) LAPD! Come out, come out, wherever you are.
Well, this looks vaguely suspicious.
That's a good picture of you.
You look handsome.
It's a murder board.
Hey! Stop! Stop! LAPD! (WOMAN SCREAMS) I said stop, man! WOMAN: Hey! Move! Move! Get out of the way! Move! I can see why you ditched the hoodie.
I mean, who would want to hide that gorgeous head of hair? I didn't do it, all right? I-I borrowed my mom's car to go after the security footage.
See, there's this podcast (GRUNTS) Hey, Roger.
WOMAN: Come on! We got our guy right here.
I think he might want his hoodie back.
I may have made a mistake.
AVERY: What am I looking at, - good news? - MURTAUGH: Nope.
The security cam video of the murder.
The killer's face is hidden, but look at what's in his hand.
Double-bladed garnish knife.
Yep, the very same specific weapon used at the original murders.
We never released that info to the public which raises questions, like: How did the killer know that? What are we gonna tell ADA Turner? Uh, Tur I don't know.
Nothing.
Why? - He's coming this way.
- Don't look.
Don't look.
Don't look.
Why Captain.
- Yeah.
- A new killer with the same weapon.
Murtaugh, please tell me you gave me the right guy to prosecute back then.
I gave you? We put Dan Harrison away, together.
My case was only as strong as the evidence you brought me.
All of which pointed to Harrison being guilty, and it still does.
There are there are other theories out there.
Enlighten me.
Detective.
Uh, well, in, uh, theory of theories on a short list is, uh - Captain? - Uh, the grooming - theory.
Mm.
- Yeah, grooming theory.
- Excuse me? - I mean, it's very possible that from behind bars, Harrison is grooming someone to kill on his behalf.
I mean, it's not unheard of with serial killers.
Yeah, and anyone - in law enforcement would know that.
- We all know about it.
- Situation.
- Situ It's a Yeah, they Fine.
Just find the killer, Murtaugh.
And make sure it's the right one.
I'm not taking the heat for your mistakes.
A grooming theory, - is that what you think it is? - I mean, it always sounds really good in true crime podcasts.
You need to get better hobbies.
(DOORBELL RINGS) Leo.
What are you doing here? I'm living a true nightmare.
What's every lawyer's worst fear? Overturn on appeal? I might have an innocent client.
I'm gonna make myself at home here.
LEO: I need help from a brilliant colleague.
(SCOFFS): Oh, no.
No, I will not help you tear apart my husband's case.
I don't even know why you came to me.
Because I want to protect Roger.
Oh, really? "The Dirty Detective"? Yes, I heard that.
Cheap theatrics.
If the original case was flawed, then any other attorney will rip Roger to shreds.
But I know that you will be fair.
(SIGHS) Fine.
I'll look it over.
Thank you.
That's all.
Get to work, counselor.
(WHISPERS): No.
(SIREN WAILING) COLE: So you think this copycat might be this prison guard? Jacob Porter.
He worked Dan Harrison's cell block for nine years.
He got transferred, but he's been back to visit every month.
Sounds like a grooming situation.
Or it could be a book club.
I don't know which one is crazier.
(SIREN BLARING) LEO: I'm here with Jacob Porter, Dan Harrison's prison guard for nine years.
Jacob, give me your impression Who's gonna play me in the show? Uh (WHISPERS): th-this is the show.
It's a podcast, so this is it.
You know, let's do that one more time.
Um, Jacob, what did you learn from nine years of guarding Dan Harrison? And the question on everybody's mind: Is he innocent? Well, Dan Harrison should be free.
Because he was wrongfully convicted, right? Because he is misunderstood.
Uh because he's innocent, yes? Dan Harrison isn't afraid to say what's wrong with society.
That womanizers deserve to be punished.
Uh so when you say "misunderstood," you mean? Willing to do what society was not.
Uh-huh.
Oh, wow, look at that.
(CHUCKLES SOFTLY) East Side, uh, East Side High.
Yeah, I work security there now.
That's a crazy coincidence, because, um, Beth Geary, who was the girlfriend of the copycat killer's victim, wasn't she is she a teacher over there at East Side High? Beth was not his girlfriend.
She wasn't.
Beth is a nice girl.
I'm sure, I'm sure that she is.
- She's a nice girl.
- Hey, you know what, Jacob, I'm gonna run, I'm gonna that's little boys' room, I'm gonna run to the little boys' room.
I got an irritable bowel like you would not wish on your enemy.
- (SIREN WAILING) - MURTAUGH: Leo, the answer's still no, I don't want to do your stupid podcast.
(WHISPERING): Murtaugh, I think I found your killer.
What the hell's going on, Leo? Where are you? I'm interviewing Dan Harrison's prison guard for my podcast.
Leo, what's the guard's name? Jacob Porter.
He killed the guy in the elevator.
We're on our way.
Oh, thank God.
(SIREN WAILING) Just a second! - Everything okay in there? - Hey, Jacob? I got some ceviche at a gas station.
- (FLUSHES TOILET) - Got some fierce squirts happening.
I could be a while.
(WHISPERS): Listeners, it's Leo Getz with In-Justice, and I am in Jacob Porter's bathroom right now - (TOILET FLUSHES) - trying to create a diversion and buy myself some time.
Looking for any means.
This can Hey, Jacob? I'm gonna need some briefs.
If you don't mind running out.
If there's a a st a men's store, or even a husky boys' store If you need to go out or something, you just leave me here and that's fine.
- You go ahead, you take your time.
- Okay.
I'm, uh, just trying to find my pants.
Oh, my God.
Oh, my God, listeners of In-Justice, I have just found what appears very much to be a set of of blood-soaked gloves.
That's gonna be considered People's Exhibit A.
(TIRES SCREECH) I'll take this side.
I'll go the back way.
(SHRIEKS) No, no.
Please.
I have I have a wife who's about to maybe get out of jail.
- Please, could we just talk - Freeze! Drop it! Hey.
Come on, Jacob, drop the knife.
No one has to get hurt.
Dan Harrison is a hero.
He understands - Tell your listeners that.
- Okay.
Okay.
Yeah, yeah.
Okay.
Why don't we both put our weapons down together? Or-or maybe even just he puts down his weapon.
(SCREAMING) (LEO SHRIEKING) It's okay, Leo.
We got him.
(GRUNTS) It's not okay.
(PANTING): I wasn't recording.
Now I'm recording.
Would you guys mind doing one more of those? At that moment, I knew that I was to become the killer's next victim.
And the last thing that any podcaster wants is to become part of the narrative.
Well, sources say Dan Harrison groomed Jacob Porter to kill as he killed.
Do you still claim Dan is innocent? There are a lot of questions that need to be answered, and my expert defense team will not rest until they are.
- Thank you.
I'm - And I'd also like to point out that this podcast is brought to you by Marty's Muffins.
Make it Marty's Muffins, or make it nothin'.
Marty's Muffins, the muffin of truth.
- Enter "Getz" in the box, and you - Marty's Muffins? (TV TURNS OFF) Are you part of Leo's defense team? I am Leo's defense team.
Honey, listen, he asked me for a favor, and I'm just I'm just looking over some files.
You know, his whole mission was to prove me wrong and vilify me.
Why would you help him do that? I don't think that was his mission.
And even if it was, it isn't mine.
Someone was gonna take another look at your case, Roger, and for good reason.
It didn't have to be the lawyer that I share a bed with.
Well, better her than someone who doesn't have - - your best interests at heart.
- Oh, well, lucky me.
Yes.
Lucky you.
I am a damn good defense attorney.
- How that What? - And I can tell even a preliminary look at Dan Harrison's case files that he had a bad one.
It doesn't matter who his lawyer was.
- Everyone knew he was guilty.
- Okay, Roger, he says he had an alibi for one of the murders.
His attorney didn't even follow up.
No case is perfect.
You can always look back and poke holes.
Maybe you should try it.
RAFI: Don't come looking for Hanni again.
I don't want him involved in this anymore.
Okay.
Look, I totally get it.
But the intel's he's been able to get has been very valuable.
- Valuable to you.
- And to you and your brother.
The information he can provide you guys can leverage this thing.
You don't like to listen, do you? I know you want out of here, Rafi.
Go to college, maybe even the U.
S.
I can talk to my people, get you visas, resettlement allowance.
That's a pretty damn good trade.
There's a hard drive we're looking for.
A lot of lives are at stake.
- Maybe Hanni can get a location.
- We're not interested.
I know you're scared, okay? I know I'm asking a lot of him.
But you have to know that I would never let anything happen to Hanni.
I promise.
Think about it.
You guys would love California.
MURTAUGH: Look at them.
These are your victims, Dan.
This guy was a district attorney that you murdered in cold blood last Thursday night.
No, no.
I wasn't even in town Thursday night, I swear.
- Hey.
- Hey.
What are you doing here? Just putting this case to bed.
I mean, it was already in bed, but it got up.
Had a bad dream.
Now it's back.
Closed.
Shut.
Cool.
That's what I thought you were doing.
I mean, we had him on multiple murders.
DNA evidence.
Eyewitnesses.
The jury took all but a half hour to convict.
I mean, so if there's anything to this alibi claim that Trish keeps talking about, then it would've came up.
We followed every lead.
I know we did.
I think we did.
Did we? Did What do you think? Roger, you're a great detective.
Question I'd be asking is why are you torturing yourself over this one? What if I was wrong? What if I made a mistake? What kind? 'Cause there's only two.
Mistakes you have to live with and mistakes you can fix.
If it's one of those, consider yourself lucky and fix it.
That's a good plan.
ROGER JR.
: Hey, Mom.
Tangy with a floral undertone.
Then I got to hold you You don't want to come It's good, right? - Very good.
Thank you, baby.
- Okay, good.
(BOTH CHUCKLE) - You're excited about this, aren't you? - Yeah.
Anything you want? Anything you need? Um Dad's support would be great.
I will see what I can do.
- Okay? Yeah.
- LEO: Ding-dong.
Shabbat shalom.
In the kitchen! I brought some muffin refreshment for my cocounsel.
- We are not cocounsel.
- Yes, we are.
The dream team.
- I'm the face, you're the brains.
- Hmm.
What is that amazing smell? It's, um Wait, wait.
(SNIFFS) Don't tell me.
(SNIFFS) I get hints of - asparagus? (SNIFFS) - No.
And a whisper of Don't.
(SNIFFS) A whisper of sausage.
ROGER JR.
: It's floral undertones.
Oh.
Well Try that.
Tell me what you think.
Oh, so hot! (WHOOPS) It's very good, though.
- ROGER JR.
: You should tell my dad.
- I will do that.
That is a life-changing cup of joe.
- (CHUCKLES) RJ.
- This is what I'm trying to do.
- Excuse us for a second.
- LEO: Oh.
Okay.
Want to see something I learned in the French part of Canada? Bonjour.
Okay, so, innocent? Don't tell me.
Tell me.
Don't tell me.
- Tell me.
- Okay, Leo.
- Mm-hmm.
- After poring over the files, - there are some glaring mistakes.
- Mm-hmm.
- Like the alibi.
- Yes.
Okay.
Visiting his sister in Arizona? She's dead.
I can't prove it.
What about the witness to the McGregor crime scene? Okay.
He was a vagrant.
Nobody could find him.
But I got a pretty good episode out of it because he said he saw somebody put on giant shoes like a clown and go traipsing through the blood and then take off in a North Valley Sanitation truck.
I called that one "Red Nose, Red Herring.
" Dan Harrison wears a size 15 shoe.
Well, why would somebody put on Dan's shoes unless They were trying to frame him.
I think I'm having indigestion.
AVERY: Roger.
What is so big you needed to call me in on a Saturday? I think I need to recuse myself from this case.
What are you talking about? I spent the night looking over Harrison's alibi - for the McGregor murder.
- And? I got a record from a-a car rental company.
It appears that he was in Arizona on the night of the murder.
Or at least his license was.
Okay, so we reopen the case.
I messed up.
I mean, I'll face whatever disciplinary action is appropriate.
I mean, that's only right.
What's right is having my best detective working this case.
I don't think Turner's gonna feel the same way.
You go tell the ADA you have my full and unwavering support.
Narrowed down the McGregor murders to two main suspects.
How do you have suspects already? Well, I was thinking that if Harrison didn't kill McGregor, then maybe it was somebody he was prosecuting at the time.
That's a good idea.
You have any leads? Yeah.
The Orasco brothers were facing racketeering charges, and the Van Nuys exotic pet smuggling ring.
Ooh.
Was there a zebra? What about weasels? Gentlemen.
Rog.
Cappy.
Magic Mike.
- I'll sit.
- Okay, Roger.
I am sorry.
I know you don't want to hear this, but we have a lead.
And I might have an innocent client.
I know.
I never wanted this for us.
A vagrant in the McGregor murder says he saw someone tamper with the crime scene and take off in a North Valley Sanitation truck.
- North Valley.
- TRISH: Mm-hmm.
That's the Orasco Brothers' company.
Well, bring them in.
- Come with me.
- And I'll talk to Turner.
What do I do? I-I get an agent? You file an appeal, Leo.
Let's go.
- Hey.
- Yeah.
I made a mistake.
Thanks for pushing me.
I'll always push you.
That's when you know I have your back, hmm? (SIREN WAILING) (TIRES SCREECH) (INDISTINCT CHATTER) AVERY: LAPD.
Hands in the air.
Against the wall.
Everybody up.
- Let's clean them out.
- Hold on.
Leave him.
AVERY: What you got? Unclear.
Cole? Just as I suspected.
Jelly doughnut.
J Jelly doughnut? Or cream-filled.
You were eating it before we got here.
Then you realized, "Oh, boy.
It's the coppers.
I got to hide some stuff fast.
" (CLICKS) Huh.
Why don't you open that up and show us where you stashed the rest of the doughnuts? MURTAUGH: I appreciate you coming in on a weekend.
But it's important.
No problem.
What's your big news? I was wrong about Dan Harrison.
He didn't commit the murders.
- Killer's still out there.
- (SCOFFS) Come on.
That's ridiculous.
- This case is closed.
- I'm afraid not.
There's evidence that Harrison had an alibi for the McGregor murder.
So, you know, we have to look into other suspects.
I'm sorry.
I screwed up.
You know, Murtaugh, I was afraid you were gonna say this.
You know what I think your problem is? You're just too good a cop.
Detective Murtaugh, meet the Orasco brothers.
AVERY: AnAnything good in there? Well, these guys were into all kinds of illegal activity extortion, bribery.
I mean, this ledger shows payments to some high-up government officials.
Everything just went away with McGregor's death? Unless Wait.
Mike Turner's in here.
He took over the case from McGregor and dropped all the charges.
Murtaugh's with him right now.
Move! Let's move.
MURTAUGH: So you killed all those people, and framed Dan Harrison, and I put away an innocent man for ten years? Oh, Harrison was a real-deal psycho.
He killed three people, probably would kill more.
So you just tag on Gregor murder made it look like one of Harrison's victims? Turner's idea.
Worked, too.
(TIRES SQUEALING) (SIREN WAILING) So you just shoot me, huh? Nah.
You're beloved.
LAPD won't rest until they find the killer.
Ah, it's much easier if you off yourself.
- Nobody's gonna buy that.
- No? Depressed cop who couldn't hack it as captain, scorned by a public that thought he was corrupt and responsible for framing a man.
You jump off the courthouse rooftop? There's a kind of symmetry to it.
You want to do the honors, Murtaugh? Why don't you come get me? Oh.
That's why I have these guys.
Don't get my hands messy.
- LAPD! Hands in the air! - (GUNSHOT) (GUNFIRE) Oh! (YELLING) Cover me! Rog, hold on! Grab the rope! (GROANING) (GRUNTS) (MURTAUGH YELLS, ROPE SQUEAKS) Hold on, Rog! I got you! Oh! Oh.
Oh.
(MUTTERS) (SHRIEKS, GRUNTS) I need Fire and Rescue on the west side of the building now! (GUNFIRE CONTINUES) I can't hold on! I'm gonna get you through this.
Just talk to me.
About what?! (GRUNTS) I don't know.
Anything.
Where would you rather be than here? I don't know.
Home?! - That's not very exotic.
- Well, forgive me for not being so exciting.
I think I'm gonna die! All the more reason for you fantasize.
(SIREN WHOOPING) (FIRE TRUCK HORN HONKING) (GROANS) You ever been to Borneo? No.
Where's that? Just a hop, skip and jump from the Philippines.
(GRUNTING) Rainforests.
(GROANS) The most beautiful beaches you've ever seen.
- (ROPE CREAKING) - Sparkling blue water.
We should go.
Yeah.
Sure, whatever.
(FIRE TRUCK HORN BLOWING) (INDISTINCT SHOUTING) (MAN GRUNTS) - (GASPING) - (CLICKING) (GROANING) Turner, hands in the air! Okay, don't shoot! FIREMAN: Let's move! Go! Go! Go! (ROPE CREAKING, GROANS, MUMBLES) Cole, let go, or we're both gonna go over! - Sorry, Roger.
- (ROPE CREAKING) I made a commitment to take you - to Borneo - (METALLIC CLINK) and I intend to keep it.
(MURTAUGH YELLS, COLE GRUNTS) (BOTH YELLING) - Let's go! - Come on! Move it! Yeah, set it up! (INDISTINCT SHOUTING) (GARBLED RADIO TRANSMISSION) I'm never leaving my house again.
- Hey, guys, can I try that again? - No.
MURTAUGH: Leo, not everything belongs on a podcast.
I almost died.
Come on, just-just one interview to seal your legacy as the hero of this macabre tale.
Leo, I just did my job.
And there you have it.
He just did his job, the same way that we did our job, clearing a man of one of the four of the murders of which he had been accused.
And there he is.
Oh, hey, Magic Mike.
Hey, Cole, Cole, I hear that you are ex-CIA.
You must have a lot of stories to tell, huh? - Hard pass.
- Oh, come on! Let me tell your story.
The world needs a good guy to root for.
How do you know I'm not a bad guy? (RECORDER BEEPS) MURTAUGH: So you think you're one of the bad guys, huh? No, I just didn't want to star in his podcast.
Yeah.
You want to get those checked out, huh? No, I already did.
It's not a big deal.
It's just a little rope burn.
Thank you.
- (COINS CLINKING) - Chips? Yes, please.
Why-why don't you let me, uh? - Yeah.
Do you mind? - Yeah.
So, are we gonna do this thing or what? Hmm? Borneo.
There's a red-eye tonight.
We can be there in two days.
You're wrong.
No, I'm not.
I've been there a bunch of times.
We can even use miles.
Not that.
You're one of the good guys, Cole, whether you want to believe it or not.
Hey, hey, hey, hey, let me help you out.
(GRUNTS SOFTLY) Whew! So I guess this is it.
Mom told me she's gonna take me to the airport, so Hey, listen, man, you know I don't like to admit stuff like this, but you were right.
I've had my share of mistakes.
You? No.
I'm still not convinced about this whole Costa Rica thing.
It feels a bit impulsive to me.
I mean, where where are you gonna eat? Hmm? Where are you gonna stay? Well, I'm gonna stay on a farm with some of my friends, and I don't know what I'm gonna eat, but I promise, I won't starve.
(SIGHS) Did you just slip me some cash? Yeah, some walk-around money.
Maybe get yourself a meal off the farm.
Thanks, Dad.
And call.
A lot.
Not text message, you know? Like real verbal communication.
- You got it? Okay.
- Got it.
And, um, about what I said the other day It's just you al you always know what you wanted to do, and I-I don't, so I got to go look for it.
Come on, Ma.
No, you promised you wouldn't cry.
And I'm not.
- All right, take these to the car, okay? - All right.
- You need help? - I got it.
I love you.
I'm proud of him.
He should see more of the world than me.
Baby, you're an L.
A.
police detective.
You see more in one day than most people do in a lifetime.
(LUGGAGE WHEELS ROLLING) Mom, Dad, I don't think I can go.
Okay.
Well, you know, just stay here.
I mean, there's plenty of coffee right here in Los Angeles.
- Mm-hmm.
Mm.

Passport expired last week.
TRISH: What? Yup.

Hmm.
No, I No, I-I get it.
I get it.

When you're feeling low and you can't see the light Everything Everything is gonna be all right Where is your car? Finally took it to the shop.
Seems like someone took out a little aggression on it.
No.
It was a lot of aggression.
It felt good.
Things are moving so fast Really? How good? I suppose it depends on how much anger and frustration you have inside.
I have a bit.
And I also got the insurance.
And I truly believe everything (GRUNTING) Everything's gonna be all right You're right.
That felt good.
You're nuts, man.

Action, comedy, romance.
Anyone? Hello, mister.
If you like taking pictures, you got to love movies.
And if you love movies, you got to love The Rock.
I'm not interested.
You don't like The Rock? That's not what I said.
I love The Rock.
People think he's just an action star, but he does comedy, drama.
He does movies for even kids.
Did you even see Moana? He has range, man.
Okay.
I-I'll buy a couple movies from you if you just get off my back.

Hanni.

Sorry.
That will never, ever happen again.
All my movies are 100% guaranteed badass.
You come back and tell me these are not badass, I will give you a full refund minus restocking fees.
Restocking fees? All right.
This looks nothing like The Rock.
It's an artistic rendering.
Debatable.
Where's my change? I will have to pay you back somehow.
Maybe with information.
Oh, yeah? What kind of scoops is an eight-year-old kid gonna give me? I'm nine.
And I know you're not a journalist, American.
Do you, now? What if I told you the bad people you are watching know you are here and planted a bomb in your car? Why are you telling me this? I told you.
I know things.
And I don't want to lose a valued customer.
See you around.
Or not.
(SPEAKING ARABIC) comedy, action and drama.
(ENGINE RUMBLES) (SCREAMING NEARBY) (GLASS BREAKING, CAR ALARM BLARING) (CAR ALARM STOPS) MANAGER: Dude.
He got away? Saw what he was doing to your car and I was like, "Not cool, bro.
" Not to my best tenant and best friend, Cole.
Nah It's not a big deal.
Happens all the time.
Dude, I appreciate your Zen.
It's like one of my favorite things about you, but, like I'll take care of it, George.
Trust me.
Oh.
It's-It's Gus, dude.
I got a badge.
But, hey, man, that's my other favorite thing about you, dude.
You just power through adversity, Cole.
When you see me in the city and we're broke, no Please don't let 'em in if we don't know them TRISH: Did you make coffee? Oh, hey, Mom.
Nice blouse, hey.
Dad, you know you look good in gray.
Single origin Ethiopian light roast, anyone? Thank you.
It's a big day.
Yeah, it is.
- You're up before noon.
- (LAUGHS) - Call that a national holiday.
- (LAUGHS) So you, you guys remember when I, uh, when I dropped out of college, right? - Remember that.
- Do we remember that? - I have nightmares.
- Do you? - Yes.
- Me, too.
Oh, yeah.
So, you know, I've been searching for what to do next.
You're going back to college.
He's going back to college.
- No, no.
Better.
- Better? Yeah.
I'm going to Costa Rica to apprentice in the coffee trade.
Yeah, get a little education while I work.
- Honey, Costa Rica.
- Yeah.
That's, that's big.
And that's dumb.
I mean, what's there to learn about coffee? It's black, it tastes like battery acid, but everybody loves the caffeine.
There, apprenticed.
What? Wh-why would you - Why can't I just - I'm just giving you the wisdom of my experience.
That's what parents are for.
- To advise you that this is a dumb idea - Honey.
- And that you're not gonna do it.
- What your - That's what we saved up for.
- No, honey.
What your father's saying No.
What he means is do it his way.
That's what I mean.
If you want to live in the same place your whole life, that's good for you, but I'm not making that mistake.
Mistake? So it's a mistake to pay your bills and keep a roof over your family's heads.
It's a mistake to build a future.
Look, I didn't even mean it like that.
You know why I didn't go traipsing around the world? Because I was here raising you.
So that you could have the privilege of talking back at me.
Well, I signed the paperwork.
All right? I'm going.
MURTAUGH: My mistake.
- I don't make mistakes.
- Oh.
- What's that? Coffee? - Here you go.
I don't even want to smell it.
I'm switching to tea.
That was my Listen.
This is important, okay? The victim You see, Scorsese, this is what a man who makes mistakes looks like.
Morning, Roger, Scorsese.
Wh-wh-wh-what happened? Huh? The car? Yeah.
Nothing.
It's something.
Did you get into an accident on your way here? No.
I found it like that this morning.
A hit and run? You're police; you can find this guy.
I know who it is; the guy's got his reasons.
The guy's got his reasons.
Can we Is the murder this way? Yes.
Murtaugh, the victim is a male in his mid-30s.
He just left a woman's apartment after picking her up from the bar.
Stabbed in the middle of his throat.
And we found him with a note in his mouth, that reads "I'm a pig who must die.
" Correct.
I'm feeling left out.
Ten years ago, we had a serial killer that was preying on womanizing men.
He killed four in a row.
- He got away? - Hell no.
I put that son of a bitch in jail.
He's there now.
LEO: Or did you Detective Murtaugh? Oh, and Leo's here for some reason.
Yes, because I represent Dan Harrison, a man who, years ago, you wrongfully convicted for four murders exactly like this one, hmm? Dan Harrison is guilty.
This is a copycat.
And how are you here? Because Leo Getz has a police scanner in his apartment, and by apartment, I mean my car.
Holy Magic Mike, you must be the new partner.
How do you do? I'm Leo Getz.
I'm part of the team here.
- You're not part of the team.
- I'm-I'm-I'm a a sidekick, at-at least.
You and I should get lunch, break the ice, get to know each other.
I'm not big on lunches.
This is L.
A.
, nobody says that.
What I meant to say is that I'm not big on ambulance-chasing lawyers.
But thank you.
And now I have your DNA.
So you know, my friend, I also happen to be the host of a moderately successful true crime podcast.
Detective Murtaugh, did you or did you not put an innocent man behind bars years ago, leaving a serial killer to roam the streets of Los Angeles? Speak right into the thing and answer in, like, a complete sentence, if you can.
I need a damn coffee.
Rafi? Hold on.
Rafi.
What are you doing here? Just picked him up on a felony vandalism charge.
He trashed someone's car.
What? That can't be right.
I didn't report anything.
It must have been the motel manager.
You need to release him.
- I can talk to the arresting officer.
- No.
I need to be booked.
- Okay.
- No.
- Release him.
- I need to be booked.
Well, then I'll post his bail.
I don't want his money.
I take full responsibility.
Felony vandalism, I plead guilty.
Okay, hold up, hold up.
Give us a moment Please.
Rafi, come on.
This is not where you want to be.
Let me get you out.
You just don't learn.
You keep throwing money at me like there's a price tag you can't see.
Know why I trashed your car? 'Cause ripping up the first five checks you sent didn't stop them from coming.
I wanted to help.
I know you enrolled in college here, I just figured You figured if you paid for my college you might forget you got my brother killed.
- No.
- You figured I would.
Rafi.
Stop trying to make it better.
Just be the bad guy.
Officer.
LEO: In a case that rocked Los Angeles, our corrupt justice system convicted bartender Dan Harrison.
Guilty? Or did a rogue cop railroad an innocent man to get injustice? Sponsored by Marty's Muffins.
That's me? A "rogue cop"? You're featured heavily in episode three, "The Dirty Detective," where he makes this crazy case that you framed Dan Harrison.
- You listen to his podcast? - You listen to my podcast! I have a long commute, and Leo is a much better podcaster than he is an attorney.
I mean, it's complete fiction.
This is ridiculous.
His footprints were at every crime scene.
A lot of people wear shoes.
He had contact with every victim, and a 15-page typed manifesto indicting womanizers.
The evidence was overwhelming.
You say overwhelming.
I give you the theory that the killer was actually a woman who wanted vengeance on men and knew that she could frame Dan Harrison.
My audience demands (WHISPERS): that you reopen the case.
Well, you can tell both of them it's not gonna happen.
I put the right man behind bars ten years ago.
Excuse me, Detective.
We got lucky.
Gas station camera picked up a car leaving our scene this morning.
DMV got us an address.
Well, if you'll excuse me, I have to go put another killer away.
COLE: Totally on board with the copycat theory.
I noticed that one of the original victims - was the district attorney at the time.
- McGregor.
He made the case more high-profile.
And, before you ask, the answer is no.
There was no rush to judgment.
I wasn't gonna ask.
But everyone makes mistakes.
Well, I didn't.
Okay.
All right.
LAPD! (CLATTERING) (COCKS PISTOL) LAPD! Come out, come out, wherever you are.
Well, this looks vaguely suspicious.
That's a good picture of you.
You look handsome.
It's a murder board.
Hey! Stop! Stop! LAPD! (WOMAN SCREAMS) I said stop, man! WOMAN: Hey! Move! Move! Get out of the way! Move! I can see why you ditched the hoodie.
I mean, who would want to hide that gorgeous head of hair? I didn't do it, all right? I-I borrowed my mom's car to go after the security footage.
See, there's this podcast (GRUNTS) Hey, Roger.
WOMAN: Come on! We got our guy right here.
I think he might want his hoodie back.
I may have made a mistake.
AVERY: What am I looking at, - good news? - MURTAUGH: Nope.
The security cam video of the murder.
The killer's face is hidden, but look at what's in his hand.
Double-bladed garnish knife.
Yep, the very same specific weapon used at the original murders.
We never released that info to the public which raises questions, like: How did the killer know that? What are we gonna tell ADA Turner? Uh, Tur I don't know.
Nothing.
Why? - He's coming this way.
- Don't look.
Don't look.
Don't look.
Why Captain.
- Yeah.
- A new killer with the same weapon.
Murtaugh, please tell me you gave me the right guy to prosecute back then.
I gave you? We put Dan Harrison away, together.
My case was only as strong as the evidence you brought me.
All of which pointed to Harrison being guilty, and it still does.
There are there are other theories out there.
Enlighten me.
Detective.
Uh, well, in, uh, theory of theories on a short list is, uh - Captain? - Uh, the grooming - theory.
Mm.
- Yeah, grooming theory.
- Excuse me? - I mean, it's very possible that from behind bars, Harrison is grooming someone to kill on his behalf.
I mean, it's not unheard of with serial killers.
Yeah, and anyone - in law enforcement would know that.
- We all know about it.
- Situation.
- Situ It's a Yeah, they Fine.
Just find the killer, Murtaugh.
And make sure it's the right one.
I'm not taking the heat for your mistakes.
A grooming theory, - is that what you think it is? - I mean, it always sounds really good in true crime podcasts.
You need to get better hobbies.
(DOORBELL RINGS) Leo.
What are you doing here? I'm living a true nightmare.
What's every lawyer's worst fear? Overturn on appeal? I might have an innocent client.
I'm gonna make myself at home here.
LEO: I need help from a brilliant colleague.
(SCOFFS): Oh, no.
No, I will not help you tear apart my husband's case.
I don't even know why you came to me.
Because I want to protect Roger.
Oh, really? "The Dirty Detective"? Yes, I heard that.
Cheap theatrics.
If the original case was flawed, then any other attorney will rip Roger to shreds.
But I know that you will be fair.
(SIGHS) Fine.
I'll look it over.
Thank you.
That's all.
Get to work, counselor.
(WHISPERS): No.
(SIREN WAILING) COLE: So you think this copycat might be this prison guard? Jacob Porter.
He worked Dan Harrison's cell block for nine years.
He got transferred, but he's been back to visit every month.
Sounds like a grooming situation.
Or it could be a book club.
I don't know which one is crazier.
(SIREN BLARING) LEO: I'm here with Jacob Porter, Dan Harrison's prison guard for nine years.
Jacob, give me your impression Who's gonna play me in the show? Uh (WHISPERS): th-this is the show.
It's a podcast, so this is it.
You know, let's do that one more time.
Um, Jacob, what did you learn from nine years of guarding Dan Harrison? And the question on everybody's mind: Is he innocent? Well, Dan Harrison should be free.
Because he was wrongfully convicted, right? Because he is misunderstood.
Uh because he's innocent, yes? Dan Harrison isn't afraid to say what's wrong with society.
That womanizers deserve to be punished.
Uh so when you say "misunderstood," you mean? Willing to do what society was not.
Uh-huh.
Oh, wow, look at that.
(CHUCKLES SOFTLY) East Side, uh, East Side High.
Yeah, I work security there now.
That's a crazy coincidence, because, um, Beth Geary, who was the girlfriend of the copycat killer's victim, wasn't she is she a teacher over there at East Side High? Beth was not his girlfriend.
She wasn't.
Beth is a nice girl.
I'm sure, I'm sure that she is.
- She's a nice girl.
- Hey, you know what, Jacob, I'm gonna run, I'm gonna that's little boys' room, I'm gonna run to the little boys' room.
I got an irritable bowel like you would not wish on your enemy.
- (SIREN WAILING) - MURTAUGH: Leo, the answer's still no, I don't want to do your stupid podcast.
(WHISPERING): Murtaugh, I think I found your killer.
What the hell's going on, Leo? Where are you? I'm interviewing Dan Harrison's prison guard for my podcast.
Leo, what's the guard's name? Jacob Porter.
He killed the guy in the elevator.
We're on our way.
Oh, thank God.
(SIREN WAILING) Just a second! - Everything okay in there? - Hey, Jacob? I got some ceviche at a gas station.
- (FLUSHES TOILET) - Got some fierce squirts happening.
I could be a while.
(WHISPERS): Listeners, it's Leo Getz with In-Justice, and I am in Jacob Porter's bathroom right now - (TOILET FLUSHES) - trying to create a diversion and buy myself some time.
Looking for any means.
This can Hey, Jacob? I'm gonna need some briefs.
If you don't mind running out.
If there's a a st a men's store, or even a husky boys' store If you need to go out or something, you just leave me here and that's fine.
- You go ahead, you take your time.
- Okay.
I'm, uh, just trying to find my pants.
Oh, my God.
Oh, my God, listeners of In-Justice, I have just found what appears very much to be a set of of blood-soaked gloves.
That's gonna be considered People's Exhibit A.
(TIRES SCREECH) I'll take this side.
I'll go the back way.
(SHRIEKS) No, no.
Please.
I have I have a wife who's about to maybe get out of jail.
- Please, could we just talk - Freeze! Drop it! Hey.
Come on, Jacob, drop the knife.
No one has to get hurt.
Dan Harrison is a hero.
He understands - Tell your listeners that.
- Okay.
Okay.
Yeah, yeah.
Okay.
Why don't we both put our weapons down together? Or-or maybe even just he puts down his weapon.
(SCREAMING) (LEO SHRIEKING) It's okay, Leo.
We got him.
(GRUNTS) It's not okay.
(PANTING): I wasn't recording.
Now I'm recording.
Would you guys mind doing one more of those? At that moment, I knew that I was to become the killer's next victim.
And the last thing that any podcaster wants is to become part of the narrative.
Well, sources say Dan Harrison groomed Jacob Porter to kill as he killed.
Do you still claim Dan is innocent? There are a lot of questions that need to be answered, and my expert defense team will not rest until they are.
- Thank you.
I'm - And I'd also like to point out that this podcast is brought to you by Marty's Muffins.
Make it Marty's Muffins, or make it nothin'.
Marty's Muffins, the muffin of truth.
- Enter "Getz" in the box, and you - Marty's Muffins? (TV TURNS OFF) Are you part of Leo's defense team? I am Leo's defense team.
Honey, listen, he asked me for a favor, and I'm just I'm just looking over some files.
You know, his whole mission was to prove me wrong and vilify me.
Why would you help him do that? I don't think that was his mission.
And even if it was, it isn't mine.
Someone was gonna take another look at your case, Roger, and for good reason.
It didn't have to be the lawyer that I share a bed with.
Well, better her than someone who doesn't have - - your best interests at heart.
- Oh, well, lucky me.
Yes.
Lucky you.
I am a damn good defense attorney.
- How that What? - And I can tell even a preliminary look at Dan Harrison's case files that he had a bad one.
It doesn't matter who his lawyer was.
- Everyone knew he was guilty.
- Okay, Roger, he says he had an alibi for one of the murders.
His attorney didn't even follow up.
No case is perfect.
You can always look back and poke holes.
Maybe you should try it.
RAFI: Don't come looking for Hanni again.
I don't want him involved in this anymore.
Okay.
Look, I totally get it.
But the intel's he's been able to get has been very valuable.
- Valuable to you.
- And to you and your brother.
The information he can provide you guys can leverage this thing.
You don't like to listen, do you? I know you want out of here, Rafi.
Go to college, maybe even the U.
S.
I can talk to my people, get you visas, resettlement allowance.
That's a pretty damn good trade.
There's a hard drive we're looking for.
A lot of lives are at stake.
- Maybe Hanni can get a location.
- We're not interested.
I know you're scared, okay? I know I'm asking a lot of him.
But you have to know that I would never let anything happen to Hanni.
I promise.
Think about it.
You guys would love California.
MURTAUGH: Look at them.
These are your victims, Dan.
This guy was a district attorney that you murdered in cold blood last Thursday night.
No, no.
I wasn't even in town Thursday night, I swear.
- Hey.
- Hey.
What are you doing here? Just putting this case to bed.
I mean, it was already in bed, but it got up.
Had a bad dream.
Now it's back.
Closed.
Shut.
Cool.
That's what I thought you were doing.
I mean, we had him on multiple murders.
DNA evidence.
Eyewitnesses.
The jury took all but a half hour to convict.
I mean, so if there's anything to this alibi claim that Trish keeps talking about, then it would've came up.
We followed every lead.
I know we did.
I think we did.
Did we? Did What do you think? Roger, you're a great detective.
Question I'd be asking is why are you torturing yourself over this one? What if I was wrong? What if I made a mistake? What kind? 'Cause there's only two.
Mistakes you have to live with and mistakes you can fix.
If it's one of those, consider yourself lucky and fix it.
That's a good plan.
ROGER JR.
: Hey, Mom.
Tangy with a floral undertone.
Then I got to hold you You don't want to come It's good, right? - Very good.
Thank you, baby.
- Okay, good.
(BOTH CHUCKLE) - You're excited about this, aren't you? - Yeah.
Anything you want? Anything you need? Um Dad's support would be great.
I will see what I can do.
- Okay? Yeah.
- LEO: Ding-dong.
Shabbat shalom.
In the kitchen! I brought some muffin refreshment for my cocounsel.
- We are not cocounsel.
- Yes, we are.
The dream team.
- I'm the face, you're the brains.
- Hmm.
What is that amazing smell? It's, um Wait, wait.
(SNIFFS) Don't tell me.
(SNIFFS) I get hints of - asparagus? (SNIFFS) - No.
And a whisper of Don't.
(SNIFFS) A whisper of sausage.
ROGER JR.
: It's floral undertones.
Oh.
Well Try that.
Tell me what you think.
Oh, so hot! (WHOOPS) It's very good, though.
- ROGER JR.
: You should tell my dad.
- I will do that.
That is a life-changing cup of joe.
- (CHUCKLES) RJ.
- This is what I'm trying to do.
- Excuse us for a second.
- LEO: Oh.
Okay.
Want to see something I learned in the French part of Canada? Bonjour.
Okay, so, innocent? Don't tell me.
Tell me.
Don't tell me.
- Tell me.
- Okay, Leo.
- Mm-hmm.
- After poring over the files, - there are some glaring mistakes.
- Mm-hmm.
- Like the alibi.
- Yes.
Okay.
Visiting his sister in Arizona? She's dead.
I can't prove it.
What about the witness to the McGregor crime scene? Okay.
He was a vagrant.
Nobody could find him.
But I got a pretty good episode out of it because he said he saw somebody put on giant shoes like a clown and go traipsing through the blood and then take off in a North Valley Sanitation truck.
I called that one "Red Nose, Red Herring.
" Dan Harrison wears a size 15 shoe.
Well, why would somebody put on Dan's shoes unless They were trying to frame him.
I think I'm having indigestion.
AVERY: Roger.
What is so big you needed to call me in on a Saturday? I think I need to recuse myself from this case.
What are you talking about? I spent the night looking over Harrison's alibi - for the McGregor murder.
- And? I got a record from a-a car rental company.
It appears that he was in Arizona on the night of the murder.
Or at least his license was.
Okay, so we reopen the case.
I messed up.
I mean, I'll face whatever disciplinary action is appropriate.
I mean, that's only right.
What's right is having my best detective working this case.
I don't think Turner's gonna feel the same way.
You go tell the ADA you have my full and unwavering support.
Narrowed down the McGregor murders to two main suspects.
How do you have suspects already? Well, I was thinking that if Harrison didn't kill McGregor, then maybe it was somebody he was prosecuting at the time.
That's a good idea.
You have any leads? Yeah.
The Orasco brothers were facing racketeering charges, and the Van Nuys exotic pet smuggling ring.
Ooh.
Was there a zebra? What about weasels? Gentlemen.
Rog.
Cappy.
Magic Mike.
- I'll sit.
- Okay, Roger.
I am sorry.
I know you don't want to hear this, but we have a lead.
And I might have an innocent client.
I know.
I never wanted this for us.
A vagrant in the McGregor murder says he saw someone tamper with the crime scene and take off in a North Valley Sanitation truck.
- North Valley.
- TRISH: Mm-hmm.
That's the Orasco Brothers' company.
Well, bring them in.
- Come with me.
- And I'll talk to Turner.
What do I do? I-I get an agent? You file an appeal, Leo.
Let's go.
- Hey.
- Yeah.
I made a mistake.
Thanks for pushing me.
I'll always push you.
That's when you know I have your back, hmm? (SIREN WAILING) (TIRES SCREECH) (INDISTINCT CHATTER) AVERY: LAPD.
Hands in the air.
Against the wall.
Everybody up.
- Let's clean them out.
- Hold on.
Leave him.
AVERY: What you got? Unclear.
Cole? Just as I suspected.
Jelly doughnut.
J Jelly doughnut? Or cream-filled.
You were eating it before we got here.
Then you realized, "Oh, boy.
It's the coppers.
I got to hide some stuff fast.
" (CLICKS) Huh.
Why don't you open that up and show us where you stashed the rest of the doughnuts? MURTAUGH: I appreciate you coming in on a weekend.
But it's important.
No problem.
What's your big news? I was wrong about Dan Harrison.
He didn't commit the murders.
- Killer's still out there.
- (SCOFFS) Come on.
That's ridiculous.
- This case is closed.
- I'm afraid not.
There's evidence that Harrison had an alibi for the McGregor murder.
So, you know, we have to look into other suspects.
I'm sorry.
I screwed up.
You know, Murtaugh, I was afraid you were gonna say this.
You know what I think your problem is? You're just too good a cop.
Detective Murtaugh, meet the Orasco brothers.
AVERY: AnAnything good in there? Well, these guys were into all kinds of illegal activity extortion, bribery.
I mean, this ledger shows payments to some high-up government officials.
Everything just went away with McGregor's death? Unless Wait.
Mike Turner's in here.
He took over the case from McGregor and dropped all the charges.
Murtaugh's with him right now.
Move! Let's move.
MURTAUGH: So you killed all those people, and framed Dan Harrison, and I put away an innocent man for ten years? Oh, Harrison was a real-deal psycho.
He killed three people, probably would kill more.
So you just tag on Gregor murder made it look like one of Harrison's victims? Turner's idea.
Worked, too.
(TIRES SQUEALING) (SIREN WAILING) So you just shoot me, huh? Nah.
You're beloved.
LAPD won't rest until they find the killer.
Ah, it's much easier if you off yourself.
- Nobody's gonna buy that.
- No? Depressed cop who couldn't hack it as captain, scorned by a public that thought he was corrupt and responsible for framing a man.
You jump off the courthouse rooftop? There's a kind of symmetry to it.
You want to do the honors, Murtaugh? Why don't you come get me? Oh.
That's why I have these guys.
Don't get my hands messy.
- LAPD! Hands in the air! - (GUNSHOT) (GUNFIRE) Oh! (YELLING) Cover me! Rog, hold on! Grab the rope! (GROANING) (GRUNTS) (MURTAUGH YELLS, ROPE SQUEAKS) Hold on, Rog! I got you! Oh! Oh.
Oh.
(MUTTERS) (SHRIEKS, GRUNTS) I need Fire and Rescue on the west side of the building now! (GUNFIRE CONTINUES) I can't hold on! I'm gonna get you through this.
Just talk to me.
About what?! (GRUNTS) I don't know.
Anything.
Where would you rather be than here? I don't know.
Home?! - That's not very exotic.
- Well, forgive me for not being so exciting.
I think I'm gonna die! All the more reason for you fantasize.
(SIREN WHOOPING) (FIRE TRUCK HORN HONKING) (GROANS) You ever been to Borneo? No.
Where's that? Just a hop, skip and jump from the Philippines.
(GRUNTING) Rainforests.
(GROANS) The most beautiful beaches you've ever seen.
- (ROPE CREAKING) - Sparkling blue water.
We should go.
Yeah.
Sure, whatever.
(FIRE TRUCK HORN BLOWING) (INDISTINCT SHOUTING) (MAN GRUNTS) - (GASPING) - (CLICKING) (GROANING) Turner, hands in the air! Okay, don't shoot! FIREMAN: Let's move! Go! Go! Go! (ROPE CREAKING, GROANS, MUMBLES) Cole, let go, or we're both gonna go over! - Sorry, Roger.
- (ROPE CREAKING) I made a commitment to take you - to Borneo - (METALLIC CLINK) and I intend to keep it.
(MURTAUGH YELLS, COLE GRUNTS) (BOTH YELLING) - Let's go! - Come on! Move it! Yeah, set it up! (INDISTINCT SHOUTING) (GARBLED RADIO TRANSMISSION) I'm never leaving my house again.
- Hey, guys, can I try that again? - No.
MURTAUGH: Leo, not everything belongs on a podcast.
I almost died.
Come on, just-just one interview to seal your legacy as the hero of this macabre tale.
Leo, I just did my job.
And there you have it.
He just did his job, the same way that we did our job, clearing a man of one of the four of the murders of which he had been accused.
And there he is.
Oh, hey, Magic Mike.
Hey, Cole, Cole, I hear that you are ex-CIA.
You must have a lot of stories to tell, huh? - Hard pass.
- Oh, come on! Let me tell your story.
The world needs a good guy to root for.
How do you know I'm not a bad guy? (RECORDER BEEPS) MURTAUGH: So you think you're one of the bad guys, huh? No, I just didn't want to star in his podcast.
Yeah.
You want to get those checked out, huh? No, I already did.
It's not a big deal.
It's just a little rope burn.
Thank you.
- (COINS CLINKING) - Chips? Yes, please.
Why-why don't you let me, uh? - Yeah.
Do you mind? - Yeah.
So, are we gonna do this thing or what? Hmm? Borneo.
There's a red-eye tonight.
We can be there in two days.
You're wrong.
No, I'm not.
I've been there a bunch of times.
We can even use miles.
Not that.
You're one of the good guys, Cole, whether you want to believe it or not.
Hey, hey, hey, hey, let me help you out.
(GRUNTS SOFTLY) Whew! So I guess this is it.
Mom told me she's gonna take me to the airport, so Hey, listen, man, you know I don't like to admit stuff like this, but you were right.
I've had my share of mistakes.
You? No.
I'm still not convinced about this whole Costa Rica thing.
It feels a bit impulsive to me.
I mean, where where are you gonna eat? Hmm? Where are you gonna stay? Well, I'm gonna stay on a farm with some of my friends, and I don't know what I'm gonna eat, but I promise, I won't starve.
(SIGHS) Did you just slip me some cash? Yeah, some walk-around money.
Maybe get yourself a meal off the farm.
Thanks, Dad.
And call.
A lot.
Not text message, you know? Like real verbal communication.
- You got it? Okay.
- Got it.
And, um, about what I said the other day It's just you al you always know what you wanted to do, and I-I don't, so I got to go look for it.
Come on, Ma.
No, you promised you wouldn't cry.
And I'm not.
- All right, take these to the car, okay? - All right.
- You need help? - I got it.
I love you.
I'm proud of him.
He should see more of the world than me.
Baby, you're an L.
A.
police detective.
You see more in one day than most people do in a lifetime.
(LUGGAGE WHEELS ROLLING) Mom, Dad, I don't think I can go.
Okay.
Well, you know, just stay here.
I mean, there's plenty of coffee right here in Los Angeles.
