06x04 - Sanctuary City: Part 4

[bunniefuu]

Previously on "Major Crimes"...

SYKES: Three teenage boys go missing

from a school field trip,
then one of them

winds up back at school, dead.

We found Lucas Garza's body
at a Catholic church.

You know who hangs out
at Catholic churches?

Priests.

Father Jonas tried to stop me

from looking into the locker
of Ryan Rojas.

Where in Mexico is Father Jonas?

I can't say.

Maybe Dr. Garza found out

his wife was having an affair

with Father Casanova and blamed his son.

Mateo received a very angry phone call

from a Marvin Garret.

Marvin Garret, you're under arrest.

What'd you do, you bastard?
What did you do to my son?!

None of these questions matter

while Miguel and Ryan are still missing.

And if they're alive,

they're my number-one suspects.

Earlier today, Miguel Diaz and Ryan Rojas

have been found in Mexico.

Questions remain.

Were they victims or perpetrators?

I want a court order removing
Ryan and Miguel

from FBI custody.

Okay. So, now what do we do?

We hope that Sharon
‭is just dehydrated or exhausted.

And we... we get briefed
in the only way possible.

WOMAN: From the moment the St.
Joseph's Three went missing

until just a few hours ago,

authorities have been able
to produce only one thing...

questions.

MAN: Anxious parents are eager

to see their children.

The Diaz family is evidently
leaving for the FBI...

a chance to reunite with their son.

Our source in the FBI has informed us

that Ryan and Miguel were found in Mexico

in what increasingly looks
like a hoax gone wrong.

What we know for certain
is that neither boy

was considered physically harmed.

Or admitted to a hospital.

WOMAN: We need
‭an E.R. doctor immediately!

She lost consciousness and hit her head.

Happened minutes ago.

E.R. NURSE: You can take her
to critical bay number .

- I'm okay.
- Sir, ‭I know that this is hard.

- Please wait out here while we help her.
- I'm her husband.

Okay, sorry,
‭but we don't allow family to...

Also, I have one of these.

WOMAN: We've contacted Rosarito police,

who had been holding Ryan and Miguel

in custody for several days

on suspicion of trafficking dr*gs.

But the Mexican authorities
did not explain

why they delivered the boys to the FBI,

and the death of Lucas Garza
has not been mentioned.

Ms. Rojas, have you been in contact

with the FBI about your son?

DANIELLA: Please move!
I don't want to hit you!

Was your son involved
with the death of Lucas Garza?

Were your son and his friends
with anyone else?

Was anyone else involved?!

Yes, Father Jonas is in Mexico,

doing unrelated missionary work
very far away from Rosarito,

where these two boys were found

in the custody of the local authorities

and, as I understand it, in possession

of a large amount of opioids.

It is very irresponsible
under the circumstances

to suggest Father Jonas or the Church

had anything to do with
the disappearance of these boys,

whom we can only assume

are lucky to be alive

and in the safe hands
of the American government.

He means the FBI,

who have had those boys now

for over hours without sharing jack.

Don't expect them to be
overflowing with human kindness

after the way you threw them out.

With Major Crimes temporarily
under your command...

And as my first official act,

I'd like to say what a terrible idea

this joint task force
with the FBI turned out to be.

They did nothing but lie,

withhold information, act superior.

It was outrageous and unprofessional

and probably contributed

to the collapse of Sharon Raydor,

who, by the way,
‭is still undergoing tests

while we stand here.

Are you done complaining?

Don't ask the impossible.

At least the FBI found these boys.

I don't see a report on my desk
with your names on it

saying you even
‭looked for them in Mexico.

Rosarito dropped them in their laps.

It had nothing to do
with the FBI's investigation.

Plus, the FBI let us
antagonize the Church

by not sharing crucial information

while we were serving exhumation orders.

We raided Marvin Garret's
white-pride clubhouse

and could've ended up in a sh**t

with his crazy, unhyphenated friends.

I've addressed the FBI
about their behavior,

and they've addressed us about ours.

From now on,
‭let's aim for civility, huh?

PAIGE: Goes both ways, Chief.

We should've known
the boys were found immediately

and been included in
notifications and interviews.

Memories get fuzzy,

becoming memories of memories
even after a day.

And the first interviews
with missing kids

are hugely important.

Or the first interviews with suspects.

TAO: They knew Lucas was a diabetic.

Keeping him from his insulin

during a drug-trafficking scheme,

that's felony m*rder.

Which means Miguel and Ryan
are our business,

not the FBI's.

Which is why, if you'd give me
a moment to explain,

the FBI agreed to pass them
directly to us

instead of releasing them
to their parents,

along with all copies of notes
pertaining to their interviews.

Contact the bureau about the transfer.

Probably best to let someone
else make that call, Lieutenant.

Thank you.

- Wha... Uh...
- [ DOOR CLOSES ]

Lieutenant, I'll talk to Vega.

No, actually, I'll talk to Fey,

uh, make sure we set up
the transfer of those boys

back to us properly.

Wish the FBI did video interviews.

Well, maybe the notes will help us.

Cami, everyone needs to study
the notes that the FBI took

- in the interviews with Ryan and Miguel.
- [ ELEVATOR BELL DINGS ]

Each word those boys uttered

could be an opportunity
to catch them in a lie.

I'll keep going through the laptop
we found at Marvin's place.

Now, if he forcibly tried to
deport those boys to Mexico...

But does Marvin have anything
to do with the opioids?

The news said that Mexican
authorities found o...

Wait, wait, look, I will come up
with the questions.

Your job is to assemble some answers.

I'll be back after I see the commander.

[ ELEVATOR BELL DINGS ]

Okay. Uh, they already did,
like, an EKG or an EEG...

or maybe both... and an MRI.

All of that for the flu?

Doctor said it was standard.

Oh.

Oh, well, I-I'm sure
that they saw her insurance

and realized that she could afford

every expensive exam in the book.

But don't you worry about it

'cause I've had all those tests myself.

And look at me.

[ KNOCK ON DOOR ]

[ MONITOR BEEPING ]

[ GASPS ] Lieutenant!

You didn't need to come
all the way down here.

Aw, Commander, you certainly seem

to be better ‭than when I last saw you.

So, uh, have you gotten a diagnosis yet?

No. We're waiting for the doctor.

To tell us what we already know,
which is she had the flu,

she works too much,
and she needed some rest.

What's going on with the case?

Sharon, you're off the clock.

But I'm curious.

Well, the FBI is turning
over the boys to us,

and, uh, we want to transport them to PAB

without the parents knowing.

Well, maybe I can get back
before you talk to them.

- Oh, my God. Mom.
- What?

Sharon, you'll need
a physician to sign off

on whether you can go back to work or not

because them's the rules.

The rules, Mom. The rules.

PROVENZA: Look, the boys are alive,

and they've already told
their story once to the FBI.

We're just going to confirm the details.

Do any of the details include

why the boys left
‭the field trip to begin with

or where they were going?

Uh, not that I know of.

But Nolan and Paige

have been checking every special event

advertised in that area on that day.

So far, there's no event

that a kid would describe
as "the coolest thing."

Uh, mind if I talk to my patient?

- Sharon Raydor?
- Yes, that would be me.

Hi. I'm Dr. Carson Jacobs.

- Hello.
- ‭Hello.

Your internist, Dr. Evans, asked
me to look at the results

- of all your tests.
- ‭Right.

Uh, if I could just
talk to you alone for a minute?

I'm her son.

I'm her husband. Well, almost.

And I am her esteemed colleague.

Colleagues are definitely leaving.

Children, leaving,

and unmarried partners are also leaving.

You want me to hold that for you
while you wait outside?

SHARON: Andy, it's okay.

Why can't I go home?

Ryan, we know you and Miguel
have been through a lot.

We just have a few questions.

We've been working really hard
to find you guys,

but before we can release you
to your parents,

there's important stuff we're
required to ask you by law.

It's just telling us what happened to you

and especially to Lucas.

The FBI said Lucas was found

in St. Joseph's in a flower bed.

- [ GROANS ] The FBI.
- SYKES: The FBI told you that?

They couldn't just say he was found dead.

- I can't believe it.
- No, no.

They had to give the circumstances.

Wonderful.

It was, you know, upsetting.

And crazy.

Like, he couldn't see how
things could ever go wrong.

Turn Miguel up.

The whole thing was his idea.

What whole thing?

Where was Lucas taking you?

We already told the FBI
we don't know, okay?

We don't know where Lucas was taking us.

He just told us he had
the greatest surprise ever,

and we trusted him.

SYKES: Surprise? What kind of surprise?

He said we'd find out Thursday morning

if we'd slip off with him
on the field trip.

So we agreed to go when Lucas told us to.

And in the museum,
about an hour before lunch,

Lucas says our ride is waiting
and to hurry.

And we'll be back before anyone
knows we're gone.

Back from where?

I don't know back from where.
I've already...

Well, so far,
‭their stories are matching up

to all the notes the FBI made.

Well, they've had eight days to practice.

Who was your ride?

If I knew, I'd tell you.

Well, we started running
to this, like, green curb

between the museum and science center.

And Lucas was just laughing
and saying, "Check this out."

And it's a black limo,

and Lucas just had this look on his face

like, "How dope is this?"

And he says it's gonna take us
someplace awesome,

so we get in.

"Someplace awesome." Where?

Still no idea.

Because then we're inside
the limo, and...

You know that thing between
where we sit and the driver,

- the partition?
- ‭Mm-hmm.

Well, suddenly, that thing comes down,

and a dude's arm comes in
from the driver's seat,

and he has some kind of mask on his face.

And he's spraying stuff at us
from a hose.

It stung and tasted chemically.

SANCHEZ: What kind of chemical?

I don't know,
but we... we tried to get out,

- but the doors were locked.
- [ DOOR BEEPS ]

And the next thing I know,
Ryan went down.

- How the hell could they still...
- And then I went down...

- ...not know where they were going?
- ...and I guess Lucas went down.

And I was thinking...

The last thing I was thinking,
"We're dead."

- SYKES: And then what?
- And then I woke up.

Could've been days later.

It was pitch black. I was on the floor.

But then, after a second,

I realized I wasn't actually
on the floor.

I was on the ground.

I was outside,
and Miguel was just shaking me

because he woke up first.

We waited till sunrise,
and then we realized

we were in the middle
of the desert somewhere.

We looked for the limo,
but we couldn't find it,

so we started walking, like,
looking for a road or something.

It was brutal. So hot.

Our throats were just burning

'cause of the desert
or the chemical stuff.

I don't know. It was just brutal.

And where'd you walk?

Just picked a way. Found some house.

They gave us water,
but that barely helped.

And after they found out
we were Americans,

we figured out we were in Mexico.

And after they called
the policía, it only got worse.

They went through our backpacks,

and they said they found dr*gs,

but I never touched oxy in my life.

And I tried to explain, but I don't know

if they wouldn't listen
or they couldn't understand.

You don't speak Spanish?

I understand it pretty well,

but, no, I-I don't speak it.

Look, where are my parents? Are they...

Are we in trouble?

Because you're undocumented?

Does the whole world know about this?

[ SIGHS ]

My dad must be pissed.

Well, ‭it's not word for word...

...but it's in the same vicinity.

The biggest bullshit story
I've ever heard.

You tell Sanchez to shift gears.

I mean, they had to have known
where Lucas was taking them.

Or thought they knew.

Lieutenant Provenza wants you
to start the pushback.

Miguel, I'm gonna let you in
on a little secret.

That's a camera.

People in another room are watching us,

and they're also watching detectives

interview your friend Ryan.

And you see this in my ear?

That's so they can let me know

whether or not yours
and Ryan's stories match up.

And guess what I just heard.

What?

Ryan said the dr*gs belong to you.

What?

No. I don't believe it.

Think of it as a game of "Pin
the Tail on the Dreamer Kid"

who's about to get deported back
to Mexico for drug trafficking.

No, Ryan wouldn't say that.

Somebody did this to us, and I know who.

That r*cist jerk who lives
next to Miguel... Marvin.

Miguel thinks he did this.
Marvin hates us.

Can't trip 'em up.

- Look, you guys, look.
- They might even be telling the truth.

PROVENZA: What about ol' Marv?

How you coming
‭with his immigrant directory?

Well, we're still working through it.

Marvin finally made bail,

and the FBI didn't charge him
with anything else,

so they really don't think he's involved

with any kidnapping, either.

Ye gods. Tao, it's the parents.

Where's Ryan?

Uh, we were just about to call you.

Uh, Ryan and Miguel are undergoing

routine questioning with the police.

If I don't see Miguel in one
minute, I'm calling a lawyer.

TAO: Look, we're just trying to help.

If you want to call lawyers,

then we'll arrest your kids,

and you can see them in court tomorrow.

Or...

Or you could just sit and relax

while we finish our initial review,

and then we will arrange for each of you

to have a very short visit with your kid.

No? Then who did? Who?

[LAUGHS]Who... Who would kidnap you?

No one would've kidnapped you

if you'd kept with the field trip.

Why didn't you stay at the museum, huh?

No, a kidnapping involves a ransom,

and this may be hard to hear,

but you ain't got nobody

So, let's start from where the doctor

asked me to leave the room.

[ BOTH LAUGH ]

And, uh, you try to remember,
word for word,

what he said to you, okay?

Word for word.

DR. JOE: Everything I hear
will be completely confidential.

To you, Ryan Rojas might be a suspect,

but, to me, he's a patient who survived

a very traumatic experience.

And as a psychologist, my first
order of business is...

These boys want us to believe
that they ran off with Lucas

with absolutely no idea
about where they were going.

Now, I don't know
‭if you know this, doctor,

but teenagers tend to lie
when they screw up.

So unlike adults.

HOBBS: It's a lie
‭he's sticking to, Lieutenant,

and I'm out on a limb
charging these boys with m*rder.

Do you have any evidence?

Oh, details, details.

Without details,
‭the defense's star witness

is going to be Dr. Morales, who will say

Lucas Garza d*ed
‭of complications from diabetes.

- But...
- I know. I know.

The k*ller or K*llers
may have starved Lucas

to make his m*rder seem
like natural causes.

The boys were found with opioids.

But you don't have alibis
for Dr. Garza or Father Jonas,

who's proving as difficult
to find as the boys were.

And, frankly,

I am worried that,
‭with the commander out sick,

there isn't a real plan here.

I find that offensive, Hobbs.

I have been a detective for years.

I know exactly what I'm doing.

Besides all that,
‭this is the commander's plan,

including having Dr. Joe
talk to Ryan about his issues.

What issues?

His stepfather fell off the balcony
of their condo and d*ed.

Or maybe he was pushed.

BUZZ: And Ryan's natural father
has an alibi,

but he's still a sociopath.

And Kelly Garret said
Ryan's only just starting

to talk about being gay

and that he has a crush on Miguel.

Wait. Let's assume
‭what Ryan told us is true.

He's sprayed with a chemical agent,

loses consciousness,

wakes up ‭in the middle of a desert,

is thrown in a Mexican jail

because dr*gs were planted on him,

is rescued only to find one
of his best friends is dead.

All that spells a week of severe trauma.

So what's another day?

And now we should assume
that it didn't go down

like Miguel and Ryan said

because they conveniently don't remember

anything that happened

between the time
‭they disappeared and woke up.

BUZZ: And they can't even explain

why they were leaving the field trip,

beyond everything being Lucas' idea.

Ah, Lucas.

Lucas, who is conveniently dead.

Doctor, that's why we need you

to catch Ryan ‭in just one, little lie.

That will give us...

Lieutenant, my job is to talk
to this boy privately,

no listening in,
‭and assess his mental fitness.

It's your job to catch him in lies.

Sorry. Sorry.
