05x15 - Dead Man's Hand
Posted: 10/07/23 16:56
Well...
Good morning to you, joel.
Ooh.
Wakey, wakey, eggs and bakey.
Another late night,
huh?
Oh, I'm sorry.
Did I wake you when I came in?
No, but I can tell exactly
what you did after you got home.
You poured a glass of wine,
you had some popcorn...
...and fell asleep
watching the tv.
Oh.
Ha.
Let me ask you
a question.
Are your shoes
afraid of the dark?
No.
Then could you put them
in the closet, please?
And is it too much to ask
To at least put your
dirty dishes in the sink
After you use them?
I worked
a 14-hour day yesterday.
I was really tired
when I got home.
I'll straighten up now.
Why are you so mad?
I just told you.
The house is a mess.
But you seem
extra upset.
One second.
Wait, I --
wait!
Wait!
Wait, wait!
Don't...
...walk out.
Come in.
Sorry, will.
I --
Oh.
Captain raydor. Hi.
Chief johnson.
Thanks for taking time
to join us this morning.
I left
just as soon as I --
Sit. Sit.
Captain raydor has come to me
With a, uh,
delicate situation
Involving
one of her detectives
In force investigation
division.
Before we begin
to discuss this issue,
Chief, I would like you
and your division
To keep this investigation
Into detective moore's private
life entirely confidential.
Who's detective moore?
W-wait a minute.
I can't promise
confidentiality
Unless I know exactly
what it is that you're
asking me to do.
A few weeks ago,
captain raydor began to notice
Changes in one of her
detectives, ally moore.
What kind of changes?
Um, detective moore
became gradually
More anxious, unfocused,
and then this morning, I --
This morning,
I noticed some bruises
On the back of her neck
and her arm,
And when I asked her about them,
she told me she had fallen.
But you didn't
believe her.
The bruises were inconsistent
with her explanation,
And, no, I do not believe her,
And I am worried
about her safety.
All right, then.
So I should talk to her.
Um, before you do, I'm trying
to avoid creating problems,
And if I'm --
if I'm overreacting
To what I saw,
if I'm wrong about this --
But if you're right,
Then this is an as*ault
on one of our employees,
Which cannot be ignored
And which captain raydor should
not investigate on her own.
So I would like major crimes
to discreetly
Examine the life
of detective moore
And report back to me.
I-i can't start
a criminal investigation
Unless she files
a complaint of some kind.
I was hoping, chief,
that maybe you would be able
To see past the obstacles
in this particular situation.
The obstacles
that you're talking about
Are the justice system,
and I can't create charges
Out of thin air --
I need evidence!
Of course you do,
but you can easily
Do an oblique interview
with that husband.
I'm sorry. W-who's in charge
of this investigation?
You are.
Captain raydor,
I promise you
That chief johnson will pursue
this inquiry vigorously,
But let's leave to her
The when and where
she will approach the husband.
In the meantime,
we will tread very lightly here.
Is that clear?
Of course.
Um, if we're going to do this
by the book,
I should start
by getting a statement
From detective moore's
immediate superior officer.
I figured you'd ask that,
so I prepared one.
"At approximately 8:45 a.m.
This morning,
"I observed detective ally moore
in a sleeveless shirt.
"I spotted..."
"I spotted..."
"...visible bruises
on the back of her neck
"And then a second bruise on the
back side of her upper-left arm.
"When asked
about these injuries,
"Detective moore insisted
that they were caused by a fall
For which she needed
no medical attention,"
Signed captain sharon raydor.
We are not to mention
detective moore
By name
outside of this office,
Which means
that we tread lightly.
Treading lightly
for one of raydor's people.
Well, now,
there's irony for you.
Chief, I have
the background information
For the husband,
shawn moore.
6'4", 230 Pounds,
construction supervisor,
Collecting unemployment
for the past nine months,
But no record.
You want me
to bring him in?
No.
We're
treading lightly.
Tao: we could quietly canvass
the neighborhood,
See if anyone's seen
or heard anything.
Oh, that's an excellent idea,
lieutenant.
Help yourself.
Thank you.
Gabriel: detective moore's
personnel packet.
I put her in interview 2.
She's nervous as hell.
Told her we had an overlapping
investigation with f.i.d.
Thank you, detective.
Well, we'll see
what she has to say.
Chief, I think this is
a complete waste of time.
If moore did not report
her husband to raydor,
What makes you think
she's gonna talk to us?
Look, there's no point
in being reasonable about this.
We've been ordered
to look into it,
So that's exactly what
we're gonna do.
She needed a broom.
Is that
my personnel packet?
Yes...detective,
and I compliment you
On the number of excellent
evaluations you've compiled.
Captain raydor seems to hold you
in high esteem.
As I do her.
I-i was just wondering
which one of my investigations
Would have bumped up against
something in major crimes.
All right, then,
let's be direct,
Because
I appreciate direct,
And I see here
that you have completed
Our domestic-v*olence
seminar.
Oh, my god.
Detective, first thing
I want to do is assure you
That this interview
is entirely confidential.
Nothing you say here
will leave this room.
Fine.
All right, then.
So, how are things
at home?
Captain raydor
spoke to you?
Again, detective,
how are things at home?
Uh, as I told her,
things are fine.
I don't know why
captain raydor would
involve you to begin with.
Really?
I-is this
what you were wearing
When the captain first saw you
this morning?
No, I was...
Changing downstairs.
Would you please stand up,
remove your jacket,
And turn around?
Since we're not interviewing
a suspect,
I think you can zoom in
and toggle down.
Hmm.
That's not good.
Uh, may I see your neck,
please?
Toggle up, buzz.
No. It's not.
Where did you get
those bruises?
As I told captain raydor,
I fell.
Onto someone's open hand?
I wonder what your husband,
shawn, would say
If I questioned him
about those bruises.
Leave my husband
out of this.
All right, then.
I can't force you
to file a report,
But it is important
that you understand
That, as your supervisors,
if we suspect domestic abuse,
We are required
to document it.
Fine.
Consider it documented.
With pictures.
I am sending you down
to the s.i.d. Photo lab.
No way.
If you refuse to cooperate,
I need to document that, too...
As insubordination.
So, you and captain raydor
see a few bruises
And now your overreacting
Becomes part
of my permanent file?
Do you realize
what you're doing?
I'm just following rules.
And it would help
if you did the same.
Not even
a restraining order yet?
Taylor: she's probably
afraid to file.
Big guy like that
hitting her.
Well,
you did what you could.
That's it?
Chief pope told me
you asked for discretion.
Yes, and, uh,
he also asked
That this case
be taken seriously,
And yet I can see that
there's no one else here.
That's because
they're all out canvassing
Detective moore's
neighborhood,
Looking for something
that I can follow up on.
This is abuse,
plain and simple.
You didn't get an admission
Of abuse from her either,
captain.
And have you considered
What the husband's attorney
might do
If it turns out
he's innocent?
sh**t.
I could write those headlines.
Well, you are worried
about headlines, commander,
And I'm worried
about one of my employees
Getting the crap
b*at out of her.
Is there no way
to talk to the husband?
That's what I'd do.
You're not in charge here,
and I don't have what I need
To confront shawn moore.
You get people to confess
to m*rder all the time
And you're telling me that,
with these pictures in hand,
You can't pick up the phone
and call ally's husband
And ask him how she became
so severely beaten?
Captain!
I care
about this kind of v*olence
Every bit
as much as you do.
Okay.
I'll take your word
for it.
And I will expect
a more thorough report later.
Thank you.
Thorough.
Brenda: fritzi?
Fritzi?
No, no, no, no,
no, no, no, no, no.
Not on the table.
Not on the table.
What are you doing
up there, huh?
Huh?
What are you do
Hmm!
Pbht!
Chief. Chief.
We got, uh, pope down --
Lieutenant!
Sst!
Chief johnson,
if you could.
I'm sorry.
What was that all about?
I take it your interview
with detective moore
Regarding
her domestic-abuse situation
Didn't go well yesterday?
Did captain raydor
call you?
No, I spoke with her in person
at the crime scene.
What crime scene?
At approximately 1:00 a.m.
This morning,
A 911 call was put out from
detective moore's residence.
When the responding officer
arrived,
Her husband, shawn,
fired at him with her w*apon.
The officer returned fire,
k*lling him.
Oh.
So ally isn't dead?
But the husband is,
going on eight hours now.
F.i.d.
Was sent to the scene
Because it's
an officer-involved sh**ting,
Which captain raydor
believes
Is a direct result
of your not taking
Detective moore's problem
seriously enough,
And I'm inclined
to agree with her.
Your failure
to interview the husband
Endangered the lives
of two l.a.p.d. Officers.
Let me be clear
about this.
Detective moore
would not file charges,
And you insisted
on discretion --
"Tread lightly" -- which
is exactly how I proceeded.
If this had been a m*rder,
You would have been here
all night.
In a m*rder case, I don't need
a criminal complaint.
There's a dead body.
Yeah, well, you got
one of those now! You happy?!
Because when the press
gets word
That we knew one of our officers
was in danger
And we did not move aggressively
to fix it --
And let me be clear,
you did not move aggressively!
Look --
why didn't you interview
the husband?!
Answer that!
It's because captain raydor
suggested it!
And don't try
to pretend otherwise!
Maybe you
just don't care anymore
About how this might affect
the department,
But understand this --
I do care.
You and your squad will go
To detective moore's house
immediately,
And the domestic-abuse case
will remain open
Until you have proven,
to my satisfaction,
That we did
everything possible
To avoid
what happened last night!
Buzz, how did you get here
so much faster than we did?
My gps is really good.
Why don't we get gps?
It's called a map.
Officer.
Excuse me, chief.
I have my hands full
here already,
And given
the circumstances,
I'm just not sure what else
there is for you to do.
I've already heard it,
captain,
From someone
higher ranking than you.
I'll need a briefing.
Your case is over.
Not according to chief pope.
So...
After you, captain,
after you.
Raydor:
at 1:02 a.m. This morning,
A 911 call was placed
from this residence
By detective ally moore,
With whom i-i do believe
Major crimes
is slightly familiar.
Ally managed to lock herself
inside the bathroom long enough
To cry for help
to the operator.
While the radio call went out,
Her husband
knocked down the door,
Dragged her across the floor
and, at some point,
Smashed her face
against this doorframe.
Sergeant ryan dunn was the first
one on the scene at 1:05 a.m.
So, he entered here?
Yes, with w*apon drawn.
Now, shawn moore, your suspect,
was right here,
And he was in possession
of his wife's g*n.
Here?
Right.
Mr. Moore fired
at sergeant dunn.
And missed.
Sergeant dunn returned fire,
hitting mr. Moore twice,
And your suspect collapsed
right here.
And where's ally moore
right now?
Ally is at ucla hospital
receiving treatment
For the concussion she received
during the att*ck,
Or maybe perhaps
it was just another bad fall.
I r--
I-i don't want to
second-guess your case.
Okay. Uh, I'm going to need
to speak to sergeant dunn.
Sorry.
Regardless of what chief pope
might think,
Sergeant dunn's o.i.s.
Falls under my jurisdiction,
And you're not going
to talk to him
Until I finish my report.
Okay,
let's make this easier.
I order you to make
sergeant dunn
available immediately
To be interviewed
by a neutral third party.
And who might that be?
How you doing, sergeant?
Good to see you.
Monroe: sergeant dunn has
already given his statement,
Which couldn't have been
more clear and straightforward.
Yeah, we know.
So, why are we here?
Just a few questions.
And he's gone over his action
with captain raydor.
What more
do you people need?
Gabriel: look, sergeant dunn
has only had
One other officer-involved
sh**ting his entire career.
F.i.d. Cleared him before.
They'll do it again.
Major crimes has a case
related to the suspect
Who was sh*t to death
last night.
That's all.
What do you want to know?
First...
Had you ever met detective moore
before last night?
No.
Well, not to my knowledge.
So, you were
completely unaware
That the l.a.p.d.
Had mounted an inquiry
As to whether
detective moore
Was the target
of domestic abuse?
Well, looks like whoever was
conducting that investigation
Dropped the ball.
Yeah.
You know what, sergeant?
You don't know jack
about that,
So why don't you just stick
to your own actions?
How about that?
Uh...yes, sir.
Good.
Now...you were first
on the scene, correct?
Yes, sir.
When I heard the radio call.
And how quickly
were you able to respond?
Less than 3 minutes.
1:05 A.m.
I parked.
I got out of the car.
I heard screaming
inside the house.
I kicked in the front door.
I entered
with my w*apon drawn.
And what did you see?
A white male, 30 to 40,
6'3" or more,
Pointing a g*n at a woman
on the floor at his feet.
And then what?
I ordered the guy
to drop the g*n.
Drop it now!
He turned and fired at me,
so I returned fire.
He kept moving toward me.
I fired again.
He hit the floor.
I kicked the g*n
out of his hand.
That's when I cleared
the house.
I saw the victim had
a bloody gash on her head,
So I called paramedics.
And detective moore's
state of mind?
Well, she kept screaming at me
for sh**ting her husband.
Screaming at you
for sh**ting her husband.
Tell me -- sergeant,
did detective moore mention
How her husband
happened to get her g*n?
Um, what do you mean?
Well,
i-i'm just wondering,
If she was so afraid
of her husband,
Why -- why would you keep a g*n
in your house?
I don't know.
To protect herself.
Wait. Did -- did
detective moore say that?
Well...yeah.
She said her husband
had been abusing her,
And that's why she kept her g*n
in the house.
And before I could ask any more
questions, backup arrived.
The paramedics came,
and --
At, uh, let's see.
1:07 A.m.
Yes, sir.
Thank you, sergeant.
Thank you, mr. Monroe.
Well, I think
that we can all agree
That, as it regards your
domestic-abuse investigation,
This interview is damaging.
Yes, captain.
It certainly is.
Brenda: well, first off,
sergeant dunn rattled off
About 500 things that he did
during two minutes
At the crime scene
before backup arrived.
Where's the box with the,
uh, chicken and the beef
And the pork
and the shrimp thing I like?
What's it called again?
The happy family.
Mm.
It's right here.
Thank you.
Hot mustard?
They forgot it again.
Oh!
Uhh!
When I spoke to detective moore
yesterday,
I did everything
but stand on my head
To convince her
to file a report,
But she wouldn't do it,
And -- and -- and will
starts yelling at me
For ignoring the husband.
I didn't ignore
the husband!
You would never ignore
the husband.
Exactly!
It's completely unfair.
And don't you think
it's unfair?
Yeah.
It's really unfair.
So, why don't you quit?
Quit what?
Your job,
if it's so horrible.
Oh, come on.
I can't quit.
Well, then please
stop complaining about it.
Maybe you don't realize,
but ever since you've come home,
You have only talked about you,
your job, and the food --
"My m*rder, my victim,
the mustard."
How about asking
how my day went?
You know, "hey, fritz,
How's your -- your little job
at the fbi?"
Hey, wait a minute.
That's not fair.
I never make light
of your job.
I-i-i was just about to ask you
how your day was...honey.
D-don't...don't be mad.
You want to know
how my day was?
Yes, I do.
It was
extremely frustrating,
And now I'm exhausted,
so I'm going to bed.
You can finish off
the happy family by yourself,
And could you please
just...
Put everything away
when you're finished?
Of course I'll do that.
You're awfully touchy lately.
What's that all about?
So, in two days of canvassing,
no one has ever heard anything
In detective moore's
neighborhood --
No yelling, no arguing,
no g*nshots,
So I'm thinking
they must have
A mind-your-own-business clause
in their mortgages.
Lieutenant flynn,
Were you able to time
sergeant dunn's actions?
I did a walk-through
of the crime scene,
Including the conversation
That dunn had with moore
outside the house.
He would had to have
been there like...
Four minutes by himself.
But backup showed up
in two.
Tao: another
little complication --
Prelim for the morgue
Says the two sh*ts fired
at shawn moore --
One hit him in the spine, the
other one hit him in the brain.
So he couldn't have
been advancing
When dunn fired at him.
Well, he was either
instantly paralyzed
or instantly dead.
Chief, detective moore's waiting
for you in interview 2,
And captain raydor's here.
Thank you, buzz.
Oh!
That woman!
I see you have ally moore
waiting in an interview room.
Yes, captain,
I'm still trying to finish up
With my domestic-abuse
case.
Hate to be the bearer
of bad news,
But you're not gonna be making
an arrest in that case, chief.
Your suspect is dead.
If anyone's gonna interview
ally moore,
It's gonna be me.
Captain, I certainly understand
the desire
To want to protect
one of your own.
Well,
somebody has to do it
Because you certainly didn't,
chief.
We're in the middle
of an officer-involved sh**ting.
Ally moore's
a percipient witness.
You know what, captain?
Major crimes
has a domestic-abuse case
That's also still open.
That is until chief pope
says otherwise.
So, if you really
want to lessen
The burden
on detective moore, you...
You two should, um,
question her together.
Okay.
You know what?
That's fine.
Um, excuse us, commander.
After you.
Oh, god.
This is so horrible.
I am so sorry.
You do not need
to apologize, detective.
I have to.
Because of my refusal
to cooperate,
An officer was forced
to put his life at risk,
And my husband is dead.
Well, you're not the only one
responsible for that.
I shouldn't have tried
to handle it by myself.
Handle what yourself?
When you sent me
to get my photographs,
I knew it wouldn't be long
before somebody
Was gonna talk to shawn,
so when I got home that night,
I told him
that he'd gone too far
And that
he couldn't hit me anymore
Because I couldn't hide it
anymore,
And he got mad at me.
And that's when
he att*cked you.
Yes.
And you locked yourself
in the bathroom.
Yes.
Dialed 911 --
Uh, captain...why don't we let
detective moore tell the story?
Oh. I'm sorry.
Please, continue.
Um, I told the operator
that...
My husband
was trying to k*ll me
And to send help.
I think...
I was screaming.
Shawn knocked down
the bathroom door,
And then he dragged me
into the living room,
Mostly by my hair,
And then he smashed my face
into something --
I don't even know what --
And I couldn't see for a moment,
and my face went hot,
And then I saw
he had my g*n in his hands,
And then
there was yelling,
And then shawn
moved away from me,
And...
Then I heard g*nshots.
Let me ask you this --
How exactly did your husband
gain possession of your w*apon?
Uh...
Well,
w
Your husband fired
at sergeant dunn using your g*n.
How did he get it?
Oh.
Um, well,
he knew where I kept it.
Which was where,
exactly?
In my vehicle.
So, I d-- I didn't think
that shawn
Could get to my g*n
if it was out of the house,
But maybe he -- he got my keys
when I was in the bathroom.
Yeah.
Will you apologize
to sergeant dunn for me?
Because I think
that I yelled at him
When he tried to save me.
And I'm sorry for that.
Chief johnson,
I have some concerns
About sergeant dunn's
original statement.
Why, captain?
Because of everything
he accomplished
In the very short amount of time
before backup arrived?
Or is it the contradictory
physical evidence
From the morgue?
Or could it be the placement
of detective moore's g*n?
Well, I am curious also
Why detective moore
and sergeant dunn's statement
Regarding her w*apon
are so drastically different.
It's the one question
they didn't expect us to ask.
So, you do believe
they knew each other
Prior to this incident.
Oh, yes, captain, I do.
So, what proof do you have
that sergeant dunn
And detective moore
knew each other?
They denied it.
Okay, let's talk about
what I mean by "proof,"
Because when I use that word,
I mean some physical evidence
That we can all look at,
you know, and go, "ahh!"
Fine.
How about this?
F.i.d.'S photos
from the crime scene.
Look -- sergeant dunn
parked his patrol car
Right in front
of the house.
To which
he had been dispatched.
It was dark,
addresses are hard to see,
And you never park
a patrol car directly
in front of the house.
Okay, when I say
"physical evidence,"
I mean, you know,
fingerprints, dna, or --
or how about phone records?
E
No e-mails.
Did anyone ever actually
see them tog
Why don't I
just stop guessing
And just tell me
exactly how you concluded
That dunn and moore had
a relationship of some kind?!
Come in!
What is that, captain?
Sergeant dunn's
officer-involved-sh**ting report
From three years ago.
That's one o.i.s. Report?
It is.
And along
with sergeant elliot,
There was a second
relatively new f.i.d. Detective
Who assisted him
in the investigation
Of sergeant dunn's case.
Detective ally moore.
So dunn and moore had met.
Oh, I bet they were more
than just friends.
All right.
What's the next step?
These are the b*ll*ts fired
from dunn's g*n three years ago
During his officer-involved
sh**ting...
And these are the b*ll*ts
that were fired
Into shawn moore's body
two nights ago.
The b*ll*ts
don't match up.
They do not.
But wait.
There's more.
God!
This is the b*llet
That was fired at sergeant dunn
by shawn moore
The night before last.
Are you telling us,
In as long a way as possible,
of course,
That the b*llet fired
at sergeant dunn
Came from his own g*n?
Yes.
O-o-okay.
So, wait a minute.
Dunn's g*n...
I'm confused.
What lieutenant tao
is trying to say
Is that during the rescue
of ally moore,
The b*ll*ts fired
from sergeant dunn's g*n
Were not fired
from sergeant dunn's g*n.
Exactly.
Okay, so, where are
the ballistics
From detective moore's
w*apon?
Not back yet.
But it's being rushed.
Well, not fast enough,
lieutenant,
Because I don't have it.
Now --
Uh, all right, everyone.
I need to know exactly
where dunn and moore are
At this very moment, please.
Thank you so much.
Are you going
to all this trouble
Just to show there was a motive
for the domestic abuse?
First you yell at me for not
moving aggressively enough,
And now you're questioning me
for moving too aggressively.
Okay, I'm not gonna
second-guess you on the crime.
Thank you.
But this, I think,
you're gonna miss.
Miss what?
This team you've created,
these people.
Honestly, from the way
you were handling this
case at the beginning,
I thought you had
checked out already.
Will, what on earth
are you talking about?
You're moving back
to d.c., Right?
Look, I know
about fritz's promotion.
Oh.
Get -- come with me.
What promotion?
Oh, uh...
Maybe I'm wrong.
Uh, yeah, you know what?
I'm -- I'm -- I'm --
I think I'm wrong.
Wrong about what?
Okay, somebody
at d.o.j. Told me
That fritz
had been offered command
Of the fbi's critical incident
response team.
I know nothing about this --
nothing!
Well, why didn't you say
something?
Well,
because I didn't think
There was anything
I could do about it,
And I was pissed off
that you hadn't told me.
Oh,
I cannot believe this!
So, wait a minute.
Hold on.
So you're not going?
Look, even if I was thinking
about leaving,
Don't you think
I'd come to you first?
Why?
Why would fritz
not mention this to me?
Maybe because
he didn't want you to know
And that's what you do
When you want to keep
a secret -- you hide it.
You know, even in -- in the best
of relationships,
Sometimes there's stuff
That people want to keep
to themselves.
He didn't want me to know,
so he kept it hidden.
Oh, no.
Oh, no, no.
Oh.
Oh, my.
Lieutenant provenza?
I got dunn on one line,
moore on the other.
Have them both meet me
at the morgue, please.
What are you gonna do
at the morgue?
What I should have done
yesterday.
Which is?
Find out what shawn moore
has to tell me.
Y-yes, that's him.
That's shawn.
Thank you so much,
detective moore.
And again, I apologize
For your having to come down
here to make the identification.
The paperwork
was misplaced.
Chief, sergeant dunn.
Thank you so much,
lieutenant.
Uh, I believe the two of you
have already met.
Yeah.
Good to see you,
detective.
You seem calmer
than you did the other day.
Yes, I'm better.
Thank you.
What's going on
here?
Oh, I'm just finishing up
my investigation
Into your officer-involved
sh**ting.
This is your second
in three years, correct?
That's right.
And if I'm not mistaken,
detective moore
Was involved in both?
Oh, there's no need
to deny it, detective.
It's well-documented.
You two
obviously know each other.
You've even been to detective
moore's house, sergeant dunn.
I know that
because of where you parked
On the night
of your so-called action.
And that indicates
Not only do the two of you
know each other professionally
But you're on something
like intimate terms.
Ryan,
don't say anything.
That's all right,
detective.
Your husband can tell us
everything we need to know.
For example,
the way he was sh*t.
Hmm.
One of the rounds
hit here
On the outside-right
pectoral,
Did some heavy-duty damage,
too.
There's also...
A slightly upper trajectory
to this entrance wound,
So readjusting
the musculature...
...until both the entry
and internal wounds are aligned,
We can see
that when he was sh*t...
Shawn's arms were raised,
So he couldn't have been
aiming a g*n at anyone.
Which makes your statement,
sergeant, complete bullshit.
Speaking of which,
The b*ll*ts that we pulled
from shawn's body here
Don't match those from
your sh**ting three years ago.
So I asked myself,
"how could that possibly be?"
And then we decided to test
detective moore's w*apon,
And the results
were absolutely fascinating
Because, although the barrel
of your g*n doesn't match
Your previous
officer-involved sh**ting,
The barrel of her g*n does.
So, if you arrived
at detective moore's house
And knocked down the door and
shawn moore was already dead,
All you had to do was...
Fire your w*apon at the wall
and then...
...switch barrels with ally...
...and your big, fat lie
would have been confirmed
By the physical evidence.
Ballistics would have shown
That sergeant dunn here k*lled
your husband instead of you.
The only question
As far as I'm concerned,
detective, is this --
Did sergeant dunn plan on
helping you m*rder your husband
Or is this something that
you convinced him to cover up
When he arrived
on the scene?
It wasn't m*rder!
It was -- it was self-defense!
Look at her face!
Ryan, trust me.
Be quiet.
Yes, ryan, be quiet!
And look at her,
particularly her arm.
Officers.
What? No!
Hey!
Doctor,
would you please?
Let me go!
What the hell
are you doing?
Proving that the hand
that did this was not
your husband's hand.
Look at the outline
of the fingers on ally's arm.
See how small they are
compared to her husband?
Shawn moore did not cause
these injuries.
Ally did this to herself.
Although I have to
compliment you, detective.
You played the role
of the abused wife perfectly.
You behaved
like a textbook victim,
Except for one thing...
You didn't hide your injuries
very well.
Because the plan you made
to k*ll your husband
Depended on me seeing
How badly injured
you appeared to be.
What -- I --
why would she do all that?
To gain your sympathy...
And your g*n.
Which brings me back
to my question.
Sergeant dunn, did you conspire
with ally moore
To k*ll her husband?
Did you?!
You don't want to
go anywhere, son.
So far,
you've only lost your job.
Your freedom's
still up for grabs.
I didn't plan
anyone's m*rder.
Gabriel: wait, wait.
Before you say anything,
sergeant,
First you need to waive
your rights.
Oh, god.
Listen to me,
sergeant.
I want to believe that you were
manipulated by ally moore.
I was,
and so was captain raydor.
But I need to know
Exactly how much
of what happened to shawn moore
Was planned and what you
thought of on the spot,
Because if you knew
In advance that she was going
to m*rder --
No, hold on, just...
Okay.
I waive my rights.
Look, when you guys began
your investigation,
Ally told me she couldn't risk
another b*ating from shawn.
But he wasn't
b*ating her.
I didn't know that!
I-i thought he was,
And she begged me to stay close
to the house that night...
...knowing you'd be the first
to respond to the 911 call.
Did you know that she was gonna
k*ll her husband?
Stage the crime scene?
Smash her own head
up against the doorframe?
Aah!
Aah!
Listen...
The only thing I told her
was to "protect yourself."
I never said
"sh**t your husband."
When I went to the house,
shawn was dead!
Ally was bleeding,
And -- and I thought
after all she'd been through
That I should say
I k*lled the guy,
And the only way
to make that work
Was to fire off a round
into the wall
And then switch the barrels
of the two g*ns.
Oh.
Maybe she suggested it.
Look,
the only reason I did it
Was because of what happened
to her face.
I mean, why would she do that
to herself?
Because she's
a little sociopath.
And I hope, for your sake,
that she confirms your story.
You are not gonna
believe
Why ally moore wanted to
k*ll her husband.
You mean
there's a better reason
Than the affair she was having
with sergeant dunn?
Well, that all depends on
how you feel about real estate.
Ally and shawn moore
had an interest-only loan
On their house
that was about to reset,
And they were going to lose
their home unless --
Unless one of them d*ed
And the mortgage insurance
kicked in.
Well, it is awfully hard
to refinance these days.
I would also like to say
that I am fully aware
That at the beginning
of this investigation,
I was a total bitch.
I'd say it was more
in the middle...
...a-and near the end.
But I still believe
that if you had talked
To the husband earlier
that he might --
He might still be alive.
Yes,
I've thought about that
And about how
I might have resisted
Talking to him because --
Because I suggested it.
It's possible.
Um, but, um,
I did want to say
That, uh, i-i do think
that it might be beneficial
For the l.a.p.d. If we were
to work a bit better together.
If you would
just do what I say.
Ha ha ha.
The thing is...
We just don't
like each other.
No. We don't.
No, mnh-mnh.
Oh, my goodness, no.
And you know what?
That is a very difficult
dynamic to change.
It is.
It's very hard
on everyone.
Mm-hmm.
Okay. Well, good.
Thank you so much
for a final report.
Sure.
Thank you.
Um...
Have a good night,
chief.
Good night.
Good night to you.
Hi.
Hey.
What are you doing?
You were taking a long time
to get home.
I was looking for something
to snack on,
But everything in here
is spoiled.
Is that from
the cuban chicken place?
Yeah, there was a line,
So i-it took longer
than I thought it would.
Why --
w-why didn't you tell me
About the promotion
you were offered?
Why didn't I tell you?
You want to move
back to d.c.?
That's what I thought.
Plus, we'd have to give up
2/3 of our income.
Plus, you'd have to find
another job.
Plus...
Plus, plus, plus.
So, is -- is -- is my job
holding you back?
I didn't used to think so.
I-i honestly thought
going into rehab
Meant I would never even
be considered
For a promotion again,
But I was wrong,
And they may come to me
eventually
With something
I really want to do.
That would mean
we'd have to sit down and...
You know...seriously discuss
the idea of moving.
That's just the second-best
reason I've heard today
For not buying a house.
Hey.
Maybe I've been irritable
about just the idea
Of asking you to choose
between me and your career
Because...
I didn't know
which one you'd pick.
Want to see me choose
between you and my career?
Mmm.
Mmm.
Mmm!
Good morning to you, joel.
Ooh.
Wakey, wakey, eggs and bakey.
Another late night,
huh?
Oh, I'm sorry.
Did I wake you when I came in?
No, but I can tell exactly
what you did after you got home.
You poured a glass of wine,
you had some popcorn...
...and fell asleep
watching the tv.
Oh.
Ha.
Let me ask you
a question.
Are your shoes
afraid of the dark?
No.
Then could you put them
in the closet, please?
And is it too much to ask
To at least put your
dirty dishes in the sink
After you use them?
I worked
a 14-hour day yesterday.
I was really tired
when I got home.
I'll straighten up now.
Why are you so mad?
I just told you.
The house is a mess.
But you seem
extra upset.
One second.
Wait, I --
wait!
Wait!
Wait, wait!
Don't...
...walk out.
Come in.
Sorry, will.
I --
Oh.
Captain raydor. Hi.
Chief johnson.
Thanks for taking time
to join us this morning.
I left
just as soon as I --
Sit. Sit.
Captain raydor has come to me
With a, uh,
delicate situation
Involving
one of her detectives
In force investigation
division.
Before we begin
to discuss this issue,
Chief, I would like you
and your division
To keep this investigation
Into detective moore's private
life entirely confidential.
Who's detective moore?
W-wait a minute.
I can't promise
confidentiality
Unless I know exactly
what it is that you're
asking me to do.
A few weeks ago,
captain raydor began to notice
Changes in one of her
detectives, ally moore.
What kind of changes?
Um, detective moore
became gradually
More anxious, unfocused,
and then this morning, I --
This morning,
I noticed some bruises
On the back of her neck
and her arm,
And when I asked her about them,
she told me she had fallen.
But you didn't
believe her.
The bruises were inconsistent
with her explanation,
And, no, I do not believe her,
And I am worried
about her safety.
All right, then.
So I should talk to her.
Um, before you do, I'm trying
to avoid creating problems,
And if I'm --
if I'm overreacting
To what I saw,
if I'm wrong about this --
But if you're right,
Then this is an as*ault
on one of our employees,
Which cannot be ignored
And which captain raydor should
not investigate on her own.
So I would like major crimes
to discreetly
Examine the life
of detective moore
And report back to me.
I-i can't start
a criminal investigation
Unless she files
a complaint of some kind.
I was hoping, chief,
that maybe you would be able
To see past the obstacles
in this particular situation.
The obstacles
that you're talking about
Are the justice system,
and I can't create charges
Out of thin air --
I need evidence!
Of course you do,
but you can easily
Do an oblique interview
with that husband.
I'm sorry. W-who's in charge
of this investigation?
You are.
Captain raydor,
I promise you
That chief johnson will pursue
this inquiry vigorously,
But let's leave to her
The when and where
she will approach the husband.
In the meantime,
we will tread very lightly here.
Is that clear?
Of course.
Um, if we're going to do this
by the book,
I should start
by getting a statement
From detective moore's
immediate superior officer.
I figured you'd ask that,
so I prepared one.
"At approximately 8:45 a.m.
This morning,
"I observed detective ally moore
in a sleeveless shirt.
"I spotted..."
"I spotted..."
"...visible bruises
on the back of her neck
"And then a second bruise on the
back side of her upper-left arm.
"When asked
about these injuries,
"Detective moore insisted
that they were caused by a fall
For which she needed
no medical attention,"
Signed captain sharon raydor.
We are not to mention
detective moore
By name
outside of this office,
Which means
that we tread lightly.
Treading lightly
for one of raydor's people.
Well, now,
there's irony for you.
Chief, I have
the background information
For the husband,
shawn moore.
6'4", 230 Pounds,
construction supervisor,
Collecting unemployment
for the past nine months,
But no record.
You want me
to bring him in?
No.
We're
treading lightly.
Tao: we could quietly canvass
the neighborhood,
See if anyone's seen
or heard anything.
Oh, that's an excellent idea,
lieutenant.
Help yourself.
Thank you.
Gabriel: detective moore's
personnel packet.
I put her in interview 2.
She's nervous as hell.
Told her we had an overlapping
investigation with f.i.d.
Thank you, detective.
Well, we'll see
what she has to say.
Chief, I think this is
a complete waste of time.
If moore did not report
her husband to raydor,
What makes you think
she's gonna talk to us?
Look, there's no point
in being reasonable about this.
We've been ordered
to look into it,
So that's exactly what
we're gonna do.
She needed a broom.
Is that
my personnel packet?
Yes...detective,
and I compliment you
On the number of excellent
evaluations you've compiled.
Captain raydor seems to hold you
in high esteem.
As I do her.
I-i was just wondering
which one of my investigations
Would have bumped up against
something in major crimes.
All right, then,
let's be direct,
Because
I appreciate direct,
And I see here
that you have completed
Our domestic-v*olence
seminar.
Oh, my god.
Detective, first thing
I want to do is assure you
That this interview
is entirely confidential.
Nothing you say here
will leave this room.
Fine.
All right, then.
So, how are things
at home?
Captain raydor
spoke to you?
Again, detective,
how are things at home?
Uh, as I told her,
things are fine.
I don't know why
captain raydor would
involve you to begin with.
Really?
I-is this
what you were wearing
When the captain first saw you
this morning?
No, I was...
Changing downstairs.
Would you please stand up,
remove your jacket,
And turn around?
Since we're not interviewing
a suspect,
I think you can zoom in
and toggle down.
Hmm.
That's not good.
Uh, may I see your neck,
please?
Toggle up, buzz.
No. It's not.
Where did you get
those bruises?
As I told captain raydor,
I fell.
Onto someone's open hand?
I wonder what your husband,
shawn, would say
If I questioned him
about those bruises.
Leave my husband
out of this.
All right, then.
I can't force you
to file a report,
But it is important
that you understand
That, as your supervisors,
if we suspect domestic abuse,
We are required
to document it.
Fine.
Consider it documented.
With pictures.
I am sending you down
to the s.i.d. Photo lab.
No way.
If you refuse to cooperate,
I need to document that, too...
As insubordination.
So, you and captain raydor
see a few bruises
And now your overreacting
Becomes part
of my permanent file?
Do you realize
what you're doing?
I'm just following rules.
And it would help
if you did the same.
Not even
a restraining order yet?
Taylor: she's probably
afraid to file.
Big guy like that
hitting her.
Well,
you did what you could.
That's it?
Chief pope told me
you asked for discretion.
Yes, and, uh,
he also asked
That this case
be taken seriously,
And yet I can see that
there's no one else here.
That's because
they're all out canvassing
Detective moore's
neighborhood,
Looking for something
that I can follow up on.
This is abuse,
plain and simple.
You didn't get an admission
Of abuse from her either,
captain.
And have you considered
What the husband's attorney
might do
If it turns out
he's innocent?
sh**t.
I could write those headlines.
Well, you are worried
about headlines, commander,
And I'm worried
about one of my employees
Getting the crap
b*at out of her.
Is there no way
to talk to the husband?
That's what I'd do.
You're not in charge here,
and I don't have what I need
To confront shawn moore.
You get people to confess
to m*rder all the time
And you're telling me that,
with these pictures in hand,
You can't pick up the phone
and call ally's husband
And ask him how she became
so severely beaten?
Captain!
I care
about this kind of v*olence
Every bit
as much as you do.
Okay.
I'll take your word
for it.
And I will expect
a more thorough report later.
Thank you.
Thorough.
Brenda: fritzi?
Fritzi?
No, no, no, no,
no, no, no, no, no.
Not on the table.
Not on the table.
What are you doing
up there, huh?
Huh?
What are you do
Hmm!
Pbht!
Chief. Chief.
We got, uh, pope down --
Lieutenant!
Sst!
Chief johnson,
if you could.
I'm sorry.
What was that all about?
I take it your interview
with detective moore
Regarding
her domestic-abuse situation
Didn't go well yesterday?
Did captain raydor
call you?
No, I spoke with her in person
at the crime scene.
What crime scene?
At approximately 1:00 a.m.
This morning,
A 911 call was put out from
detective moore's residence.
When the responding officer
arrived,
Her husband, shawn,
fired at him with her w*apon.
The officer returned fire,
k*lling him.
Oh.
So ally isn't dead?
But the husband is,
going on eight hours now.
F.i.d.
Was sent to the scene
Because it's
an officer-involved sh**ting,
Which captain raydor
believes
Is a direct result
of your not taking
Detective moore's problem
seriously enough,
And I'm inclined
to agree with her.
Your failure
to interview the husband
Endangered the lives
of two l.a.p.d. Officers.
Let me be clear
about this.
Detective moore
would not file charges,
And you insisted
on discretion --
"Tread lightly" -- which
is exactly how I proceeded.
If this had been a m*rder,
You would have been here
all night.
In a m*rder case, I don't need
a criminal complaint.
There's a dead body.
Yeah, well, you got
one of those now! You happy?!
Because when the press
gets word
That we knew one of our officers
was in danger
And we did not move aggressively
to fix it --
And let me be clear,
you did not move aggressively!
Look --
why didn't you interview
the husband?!
Answer that!
It's because captain raydor
suggested it!
And don't try
to pretend otherwise!
Maybe you
just don't care anymore
About how this might affect
the department,
But understand this --
I do care.
You and your squad will go
To detective moore's house
immediately,
And the domestic-abuse case
will remain open
Until you have proven,
to my satisfaction,
That we did
everything possible
To avoid
what happened last night!
Buzz, how did you get here
so much faster than we did?
My gps is really good.
Why don't we get gps?
It's called a map.
Officer.
Excuse me, chief.
I have my hands full
here already,
And given
the circumstances,
I'm just not sure what else
there is for you to do.
I've already heard it,
captain,
From someone
higher ranking than you.
I'll need a briefing.
Your case is over.
Not according to chief pope.
So...
After you, captain,
after you.
Raydor:
at 1:02 a.m. This morning,
A 911 call was placed
from this residence
By detective ally moore,
With whom i-i do believe
Major crimes
is slightly familiar.
Ally managed to lock herself
inside the bathroom long enough
To cry for help
to the operator.
While the radio call went out,
Her husband
knocked down the door,
Dragged her across the floor
and, at some point,
Smashed her face
against this doorframe.
Sergeant ryan dunn was the first
one on the scene at 1:05 a.m.
So, he entered here?
Yes, with w*apon drawn.
Now, shawn moore, your suspect,
was right here,
And he was in possession
of his wife's g*n.
Here?
Right.
Mr. Moore fired
at sergeant dunn.
And missed.
Sergeant dunn returned fire,
hitting mr. Moore twice,
And your suspect collapsed
right here.
And where's ally moore
right now?
Ally is at ucla hospital
receiving treatment
For the concussion she received
during the att*ck,
Or maybe perhaps
it was just another bad fall.
I r--
I-i don't want to
second-guess your case.
Okay. Uh, I'm going to need
to speak to sergeant dunn.
Sorry.
Regardless of what chief pope
might think,
Sergeant dunn's o.i.s.
Falls under my jurisdiction,
And you're not going
to talk to him
Until I finish my report.
Okay,
let's make this easier.
I order you to make
sergeant dunn
available immediately
To be interviewed
by a neutral third party.
And who might that be?
How you doing, sergeant?
Good to see you.
Monroe: sergeant dunn has
already given his statement,
Which couldn't have been
more clear and straightforward.
Yeah, we know.
So, why are we here?
Just a few questions.
And he's gone over his action
with captain raydor.
What more
do you people need?
Gabriel: look, sergeant dunn
has only had
One other officer-involved
sh**ting his entire career.
F.i.d. Cleared him before.
They'll do it again.
Major crimes has a case
related to the suspect
Who was sh*t to death
last night.
That's all.
What do you want to know?
First...
Had you ever met detective moore
before last night?
No.
Well, not to my knowledge.
So, you were
completely unaware
That the l.a.p.d.
Had mounted an inquiry
As to whether
detective moore
Was the target
of domestic abuse?
Well, looks like whoever was
conducting that investigation
Dropped the ball.
Yeah.
You know what, sergeant?
You don't know jack
about that,
So why don't you just stick
to your own actions?
How about that?
Uh...yes, sir.
Good.
Now...you were first
on the scene, correct?
Yes, sir.
When I heard the radio call.
And how quickly
were you able to respond?
Less than 3 minutes.
1:05 A.m.
I parked.
I got out of the car.
I heard screaming
inside the house.
I kicked in the front door.
I entered
with my w*apon drawn.
And what did you see?
A white male, 30 to 40,
6'3" or more,
Pointing a g*n at a woman
on the floor at his feet.
And then what?
I ordered the guy
to drop the g*n.
Drop it now!
He turned and fired at me,
so I returned fire.
He kept moving toward me.
I fired again.
He hit the floor.
I kicked the g*n
out of his hand.
That's when I cleared
the house.
I saw the victim had
a bloody gash on her head,
So I called paramedics.
And detective moore's
state of mind?
Well, she kept screaming at me
for sh**ting her husband.
Screaming at you
for sh**ting her husband.
Tell me -- sergeant,
did detective moore mention
How her husband
happened to get her g*n?
Um, what do you mean?
Well,
i-i'm just wondering,
If she was so afraid
of her husband,
Why -- why would you keep a g*n
in your house?
I don't know.
To protect herself.
Wait. Did -- did
detective moore say that?
Well...yeah.
She said her husband
had been abusing her,
And that's why she kept her g*n
in the house.
And before I could ask any more
questions, backup arrived.
The paramedics came,
and --
At, uh, let's see.
1:07 A.m.
Yes, sir.
Thank you, sergeant.
Thank you, mr. Monroe.
Well, I think
that we can all agree
That, as it regards your
domestic-abuse investigation,
This interview is damaging.
Yes, captain.
It certainly is.
Brenda: well, first off,
sergeant dunn rattled off
About 500 things that he did
during two minutes
At the crime scene
before backup arrived.
Where's the box with the,
uh, chicken and the beef
And the pork
and the shrimp thing I like?
What's it called again?
The happy family.
Mm.
It's right here.
Thank you.
Hot mustard?
They forgot it again.
Oh!
Uhh!
When I spoke to detective moore
yesterday,
I did everything
but stand on my head
To convince her
to file a report,
But she wouldn't do it,
And -- and -- and will
starts yelling at me
For ignoring the husband.
I didn't ignore
the husband!
You would never ignore
the husband.
Exactly!
It's completely unfair.
And don't you think
it's unfair?
Yeah.
It's really unfair.
So, why don't you quit?
Quit what?
Your job,
if it's so horrible.
Oh, come on.
I can't quit.
Well, then please
stop complaining about it.
Maybe you don't realize,
but ever since you've come home,
You have only talked about you,
your job, and the food --
"My m*rder, my victim,
the mustard."
How about asking
how my day went?
You know, "hey, fritz,
How's your -- your little job
at the fbi?"
Hey, wait a minute.
That's not fair.
I never make light
of your job.
I-i-i was just about to ask you
how your day was...honey.
D-don't...don't be mad.
You want to know
how my day was?
Yes, I do.
It was
extremely frustrating,
And now I'm exhausted,
so I'm going to bed.
You can finish off
the happy family by yourself,
And could you please
just...
Put everything away
when you're finished?
Of course I'll do that.
You're awfully touchy lately.
What's that all about?
So, in two days of canvassing,
no one has ever heard anything
In detective moore's
neighborhood --
No yelling, no arguing,
no g*nshots,
So I'm thinking
they must have
A mind-your-own-business clause
in their mortgages.
Lieutenant flynn,
Were you able to time
sergeant dunn's actions?
I did a walk-through
of the crime scene,
Including the conversation
That dunn had with moore
outside the house.
He would had to have
been there like...
Four minutes by himself.
But backup showed up
in two.
Tao: another
little complication --
Prelim for the morgue
Says the two sh*ts fired
at shawn moore --
One hit him in the spine, the
other one hit him in the brain.
So he couldn't have
been advancing
When dunn fired at him.
Well, he was either
instantly paralyzed
or instantly dead.
Chief, detective moore's waiting
for you in interview 2,
And captain raydor's here.
Thank you, buzz.
Oh!
That woman!
I see you have ally moore
waiting in an interview room.
Yes, captain,
I'm still trying to finish up
With my domestic-abuse
case.
Hate to be the bearer
of bad news,
But you're not gonna be making
an arrest in that case, chief.
Your suspect is dead.
If anyone's gonna interview
ally moore,
It's gonna be me.
Captain, I certainly understand
the desire
To want to protect
one of your own.
Well,
somebody has to do it
Because you certainly didn't,
chief.
We're in the middle
of an officer-involved sh**ting.
Ally moore's
a percipient witness.
You know what, captain?
Major crimes
has a domestic-abuse case
That's also still open.
That is until chief pope
says otherwise.
So, if you really
want to lessen
The burden
on detective moore, you...
You two should, um,
question her together.
Okay.
You know what?
That's fine.
Um, excuse us, commander.
After you.
Oh, god.
This is so horrible.
I am so sorry.
You do not need
to apologize, detective.
I have to.
Because of my refusal
to cooperate,
An officer was forced
to put his life at risk,
And my husband is dead.
Well, you're not the only one
responsible for that.
I shouldn't have tried
to handle it by myself.
Handle what yourself?
When you sent me
to get my photographs,
I knew it wouldn't be long
before somebody
Was gonna talk to shawn,
so when I got home that night,
I told him
that he'd gone too far
And that
he couldn't hit me anymore
Because I couldn't hide it
anymore,
And he got mad at me.
And that's when
he att*cked you.
Yes.
And you locked yourself
in the bathroom.
Yes.
Dialed 911 --
Uh, captain...why don't we let
detective moore tell the story?
Oh. I'm sorry.
Please, continue.
Um, I told the operator
that...
My husband
was trying to k*ll me
And to send help.
I think...
I was screaming.
Shawn knocked down
the bathroom door,
And then he dragged me
into the living room,
Mostly by my hair,
And then he smashed my face
into something --
I don't even know what --
And I couldn't see for a moment,
and my face went hot,
And then I saw
he had my g*n in his hands,
And then
there was yelling,
And then shawn
moved away from me,
And...
Then I heard g*nshots.
Let me ask you this --
How exactly did your husband
gain possession of your w*apon?
Uh...
Well,
w
Your husband fired
at sergeant dunn using your g*n.
How did he get it?
Oh.
Um, well,
he knew where I kept it.
Which was where,
exactly?
In my vehicle.
So, I d-- I didn't think
that shawn
Could get to my g*n
if it was out of the house,
But maybe he -- he got my keys
when I was in the bathroom.
Yeah.
Will you apologize
to sergeant dunn for me?
Because I think
that I yelled at him
When he tried to save me.
And I'm sorry for that.
Chief johnson,
I have some concerns
About sergeant dunn's
original statement.
Why, captain?
Because of everything
he accomplished
In the very short amount of time
before backup arrived?
Or is it the contradictory
physical evidence
From the morgue?
Or could it be the placement
of detective moore's g*n?
Well, I am curious also
Why detective moore
and sergeant dunn's statement
Regarding her w*apon
are so drastically different.
It's the one question
they didn't expect us to ask.
So, you do believe
they knew each other
Prior to this incident.
Oh, yes, captain, I do.
So, what proof do you have
that sergeant dunn
And detective moore
knew each other?
They denied it.
Okay, let's talk about
what I mean by "proof,"
Because when I use that word,
I mean some physical evidence
That we can all look at,
you know, and go, "ahh!"
Fine.
How about this?
F.i.d.'S photos
from the crime scene.
Look -- sergeant dunn
parked his patrol car
Right in front
of the house.
To which
he had been dispatched.
It was dark,
addresses are hard to see,
And you never park
a patrol car directly
in front of the house.
Okay, when I say
"physical evidence,"
I mean, you know,
fingerprints, dna, or --
or how about phone records?
E
No e-mails.
Did anyone ever actually
see them tog
Why don't I
just stop guessing
And just tell me
exactly how you concluded
That dunn and moore had
a relationship of some kind?!
Come in!
What is that, captain?
Sergeant dunn's
officer-involved-sh**ting report
From three years ago.
That's one o.i.s. Report?
It is.
And along
with sergeant elliot,
There was a second
relatively new f.i.d. Detective
Who assisted him
in the investigation
Of sergeant dunn's case.
Detective ally moore.
So dunn and moore had met.
Oh, I bet they were more
than just friends.
All right.
What's the next step?
These are the b*ll*ts fired
from dunn's g*n three years ago
During his officer-involved
sh**ting...
And these are the b*ll*ts
that were fired
Into shawn moore's body
two nights ago.
The b*ll*ts
don't match up.
They do not.
But wait.
There's more.
God!
This is the b*llet
That was fired at sergeant dunn
by shawn moore
The night before last.
Are you telling us,
In as long a way as possible,
of course,
That the b*llet fired
at sergeant dunn
Came from his own g*n?
Yes.
O-o-okay.
So, wait a minute.
Dunn's g*n...
I'm confused.
What lieutenant tao
is trying to say
Is that during the rescue
of ally moore,
The b*ll*ts fired
from sergeant dunn's g*n
Were not fired
from sergeant dunn's g*n.
Exactly.
Okay, so, where are
the ballistics
From detective moore's
w*apon?
Not back yet.
But it's being rushed.
Well, not fast enough,
lieutenant,
Because I don't have it.
Now --
Uh, all right, everyone.
I need to know exactly
where dunn and moore are
At this very moment, please.
Thank you so much.
Are you going
to all this trouble
Just to show there was a motive
for the domestic abuse?
First you yell at me for not
moving aggressively enough,
And now you're questioning me
for moving too aggressively.
Okay, I'm not gonna
second-guess you on the crime.
Thank you.
But this, I think,
you're gonna miss.
Miss what?
This team you've created,
these people.
Honestly, from the way
you were handling this
case at the beginning,
I thought you had
checked out already.
Will, what on earth
are you talking about?
You're moving back
to d.c., Right?
Look, I know
about fritz's promotion.
Oh.
Get -- come with me.
What promotion?
Oh, uh...
Maybe I'm wrong.
Uh, yeah, you know what?
I'm -- I'm -- I'm --
I think I'm wrong.
Wrong about what?
Okay, somebody
at d.o.j. Told me
That fritz
had been offered command
Of the fbi's critical incident
response team.
I know nothing about this --
nothing!
Well, why didn't you say
something?
Well,
because I didn't think
There was anything
I could do about it,
And I was pissed off
that you hadn't told me.
Oh,
I cannot believe this!
So, wait a minute.
Hold on.
So you're not going?
Look, even if I was thinking
about leaving,
Don't you think
I'd come to you first?
Why?
Why would fritz
not mention this to me?
Maybe because
he didn't want you to know
And that's what you do
When you want to keep
a secret -- you hide it.
You know, even in -- in the best
of relationships,
Sometimes there's stuff
That people want to keep
to themselves.
He didn't want me to know,
so he kept it hidden.
Oh, no.
Oh, no, no.
Oh.
Oh, my.
Lieutenant provenza?
I got dunn on one line,
moore on the other.
Have them both meet me
at the morgue, please.
What are you gonna do
at the morgue?
What I should have done
yesterday.
Which is?
Find out what shawn moore
has to tell me.
Y-yes, that's him.
That's shawn.
Thank you so much,
detective moore.
And again, I apologize
For your having to come down
here to make the identification.
The paperwork
was misplaced.
Chief, sergeant dunn.
Thank you so much,
lieutenant.
Uh, I believe the two of you
have already met.
Yeah.
Good to see you,
detective.
You seem calmer
than you did the other day.
Yes, I'm better.
Thank you.
What's going on
here?
Oh, I'm just finishing up
my investigation
Into your officer-involved
sh**ting.
This is your second
in three years, correct?
That's right.
And if I'm not mistaken,
detective moore
Was involved in both?
Oh, there's no need
to deny it, detective.
It's well-documented.
You two
obviously know each other.
You've even been to detective
moore's house, sergeant dunn.
I know that
because of where you parked
On the night
of your so-called action.
And that indicates
Not only do the two of you
know each other professionally
But you're on something
like intimate terms.
Ryan,
don't say anything.
That's all right,
detective.
Your husband can tell us
everything we need to know.
For example,
the way he was sh*t.
Hmm.
One of the rounds
hit here
On the outside-right
pectoral,
Did some heavy-duty damage,
too.
There's also...
A slightly upper trajectory
to this entrance wound,
So readjusting
the musculature...
...until both the entry
and internal wounds are aligned,
We can see
that when he was sh*t...
Shawn's arms were raised,
So he couldn't have been
aiming a g*n at anyone.
Which makes your statement,
sergeant, complete bullshit.
Speaking of which,
The b*ll*ts that we pulled
from shawn's body here
Don't match those from
your sh**ting three years ago.
So I asked myself,
"how could that possibly be?"
And then we decided to test
detective moore's w*apon,
And the results
were absolutely fascinating
Because, although the barrel
of your g*n doesn't match
Your previous
officer-involved sh**ting,
The barrel of her g*n does.
So, if you arrived
at detective moore's house
And knocked down the door and
shawn moore was already dead,
All you had to do was...
Fire your w*apon at the wall
and then...
...switch barrels with ally...
...and your big, fat lie
would have been confirmed
By the physical evidence.
Ballistics would have shown
That sergeant dunn here k*lled
your husband instead of you.
The only question
As far as I'm concerned,
detective, is this --
Did sergeant dunn plan on
helping you m*rder your husband
Or is this something that
you convinced him to cover up
When he arrived
on the scene?
It wasn't m*rder!
It was -- it was self-defense!
Look at her face!
Ryan, trust me.
Be quiet.
Yes, ryan, be quiet!
And look at her,
particularly her arm.
Officers.
What? No!
Hey!
Doctor,
would you please?
Let me go!
What the hell
are you doing?
Proving that the hand
that did this was not
your husband's hand.
Look at the outline
of the fingers on ally's arm.
See how small they are
compared to her husband?
Shawn moore did not cause
these injuries.
Ally did this to herself.
Although I have to
compliment you, detective.
You played the role
of the abused wife perfectly.
You behaved
like a textbook victim,
Except for one thing...
You didn't hide your injuries
very well.
Because the plan you made
to k*ll your husband
Depended on me seeing
How badly injured
you appeared to be.
What -- I --
why would she do all that?
To gain your sympathy...
And your g*n.
Which brings me back
to my question.
Sergeant dunn, did you conspire
with ally moore
To k*ll her husband?
Did you?!
You don't want to
go anywhere, son.
So far,
you've only lost your job.
Your freedom's
still up for grabs.
I didn't plan
anyone's m*rder.
Gabriel: wait, wait.
Before you say anything,
sergeant,
First you need to waive
your rights.
Oh, god.
Listen to me,
sergeant.
I want to believe that you were
manipulated by ally moore.
I was,
and so was captain raydor.
But I need to know
Exactly how much
of what happened to shawn moore
Was planned and what you
thought of on the spot,
Because if you knew
In advance that she was going
to m*rder --
No, hold on, just...
Okay.
I waive my rights.
Look, when you guys began
your investigation,
Ally told me she couldn't risk
another b*ating from shawn.
But he wasn't
b*ating her.
I didn't know that!
I-i thought he was,
And she begged me to stay close
to the house that night...
...knowing you'd be the first
to respond to the 911 call.
Did you know that she was gonna
k*ll her husband?
Stage the crime scene?
Smash her own head
up against the doorframe?
Aah!
Aah!
Listen...
The only thing I told her
was to "protect yourself."
I never said
"sh**t your husband."
When I went to the house,
shawn was dead!
Ally was bleeding,
And -- and I thought
after all she'd been through
That I should say
I k*lled the guy,
And the only way
to make that work
Was to fire off a round
into the wall
And then switch the barrels
of the two g*ns.
Oh.
Maybe she suggested it.
Look,
the only reason I did it
Was because of what happened
to her face.
I mean, why would she do that
to herself?
Because she's
a little sociopath.
And I hope, for your sake,
that she confirms your story.
You are not gonna
believe
Why ally moore wanted to
k*ll her husband.
You mean
there's a better reason
Than the affair she was having
with sergeant dunn?
Well, that all depends on
how you feel about real estate.
Ally and shawn moore
had an interest-only loan
On their house
that was about to reset,
And they were going to lose
their home unless --
Unless one of them d*ed
And the mortgage insurance
kicked in.
Well, it is awfully hard
to refinance these days.
I would also like to say
that I am fully aware
That at the beginning
of this investigation,
I was a total bitch.
I'd say it was more
in the middle...
...a-and near the end.
But I still believe
that if you had talked
To the husband earlier
that he might --
He might still be alive.
Yes,
I've thought about that
And about how
I might have resisted
Talking to him because --
Because I suggested it.
It's possible.
Um, but, um,
I did want to say
That, uh, i-i do think
that it might be beneficial
For the l.a.p.d. If we were
to work a bit better together.
If you would
just do what I say.
Ha ha ha.
The thing is...
We just don't
like each other.
No. We don't.
No, mnh-mnh.
Oh, my goodness, no.
And you know what?
That is a very difficult
dynamic to change.
It is.
It's very hard
on everyone.
Mm-hmm.
Okay. Well, good.
Thank you so much
for a final report.
Sure.
Thank you.
Um...
Have a good night,
chief.
Good night.
Good night to you.
Hi.
Hey.
What are you doing?
You were taking a long time
to get home.
I was looking for something
to snack on,
But everything in here
is spoiled.
Is that from
the cuban chicken place?
Yeah, there was a line,
So i-it took longer
than I thought it would.
Why --
w-why didn't you tell me
About the promotion
you were offered?
Why didn't I tell you?
You want to move
back to d.c.?
That's what I thought.
Plus, we'd have to give up
2/3 of our income.
Plus, you'd have to find
another job.
Plus...
Plus, plus, plus.
So, is -- is -- is my job
holding you back?
I didn't used to think so.
I-i honestly thought
going into rehab
Meant I would never even
be considered
For a promotion again,
But I was wrong,
And they may come to me
eventually
With something
I really want to do.
That would mean
we'd have to sit down and...
You know...seriously discuss
the idea of moving.
That's just the second-best
reason I've heard today
For not buying a house.
Hey.
Maybe I've been irritable
about just the idea
Of asking you to choose
between me and your career
Because...
I didn't know
which one you'd pick.
Want to see me choose
between you and my career?
Mmm.
Mmm.
Mmm!
