Bosch

Turn the page?

It's all there, signed by your lawyer and the D.A.

Plead to manslaughter, take your chances with the judge.

11-year max, right?

Right.

Okay. Shoot.

Start with the house where you took the girls

and the man you gave them to.

Mariposa, south of Santa Monica.

The house at the end of the street.

Um, the guy you're looking for is named Hector Cruz.

What's the security setup?

Two, three guys.

- Weapons? - Never seen them, but yeah,

sure, they're strapped. They're cartel.

- Cameras? - Cameras.

Yeah, they got cameras.

But pro tip, you drive up there in a van

and you'll get right up on them.

They get a lot of vans

- coming and going. - All right.

Edge, get your people, take the surveillance van.

- Roger that. - Pierce, Vega, you're backup.

Call me as soon as it's secured.

If this asshole's lying, I want to know about it.

You got it.

Tell me about Daisy Clayton.

Daisy was a clusterfuck.

I wanted to take her, not kill her.

- What went wrong? - What didn't?

I mean, the first time, it was a scam. It was a setup.

Her boyfriend jumps out of the closet with his fucking camera

and gets my I.D.

There's nothing I could do about it.

Must've pissed you off.

Well, I got over it.

And next time?

I see Daisy on the street,

and I talk her into my van.

Little street whore had a knife in her sock.

And?

Well, I had to fucking defend myself.

It was her or me, man.

So I grabbed the knife and I-I cut her.

It was self-fucking-defense.

You cut her throat in self-defense.

Yeah, that's why I better not be getting

no 11 years for this shit.

The whole, the whole thing was on her.

No sign of Cruz, but we got a line on him.

Intel's legit. We rescued three.

- Good work. - But L.T.,

there's room in the house for a whole lot more.

Lock it down.

They rescued three.

Soaked her in bleach

to get rid of the DNA.

The sex was her idea.

14-year-old girl.

I knew no one would believe me.

And?

And then I drove around for a while

trying to come up with a plan.

Go on.

I'd cleaned one of the Butcher's crime scenes,

so I thought I could just sort of

slip Daisy into the lineup, you know?

That's enough for now.

You better hope you serve all 11. Every minute of it.

No matter how long or short it is,

I'm gonna be there when you get out, waiting for you, you fuck.

And you won't see me coming.

Count on it.

Jerry.

Can you book him for me? Something I got to to do.

- No problem. - Thanks, brother.

What did you say to him in there?

After you cut the feed?

Told him to have a pleasant stay in prison.

- What are you doing with that? - Returning it.

Her mother?

Well, make sure to tell her about

the three girls we did save.

Like it'll make a difference.

Liz?

Liz?

Liz.

Oh, shit.

Oh, no.

First my son, and now Dwight.

What do I do, Jerry?

What am I supposed to do now?

They were my whole life.

What about your church?

Maybe there's somebody there you can talk to.

Lean on.

There is. I-I, I can.

I thank God for them.

You can call me anytime.

Thank you. I-I will.

Naomi, I'm so sorry, but I-I have to ask you a few questions.

I am so sorry.

Oh, it's-it's, it's all right.

You-you do what you have to do.

After he picked up your things from the church,

did he say where he was going?

No.

You-you told the detectives he left me a note.

A few days ago.

He said to give this to you if anything should happen.

I-It's like he knew what was coming.

Officials stress that although the two-acre fire

is not fully contained, the chance of it spreading

to nearby structures remains low,

and dying winds will help further mitigate that risk.

Now breaking news in the L.A. city mayoral campaign.

At a hastily-called press conference this morning

outside his Hancock Park home, Chief Irving announced

he is bowing out of the mayoral race

and throwing his support to Councilwoman Susanna Lopez.

- The popular police chief's endorsement... -¿Qué pasa?

Is expected to vault Lopez to a commanding lead

over Valley businessman Jack Killoran among likely voters.

After his statement, Chief Irving took the time to answer

a few questions regarding his decision.

She's honest and has the city, not herself, as priority one,

which is what L.A. needs now.

And I think it's about time this city had a Latina mayor.

I look forward to working with her, as chief of police.

Chief Irving, please, just one question...

You think I'm just gonna let you hand the election to Lopez?

I take it you got my answer.

Making a big mistake, Irv.

I still have the tape.

Jack, as an ex-politician,

I'd advise you to save your dignity.

Now, you release the tape now and you reveal yourself

to be a vindictive political hack.

And I expose your attempt to extort me,

which could have legal ramifications.

Take my advice:

let sleeping dogs lie.

Who was that?

The car czar.

Wishing me luck.

So...

are we happy?

Yes.

It's the right thing to do.

That's all that matters.

Harry.

Sorry to hear about Elizabeth Clayton.

Yeah. Me, too.

Blamed herself,

couldn't bear the guilt, or the fact the system

placed such a low value on her child's life.

Her killer cuts a deal for 11 years for what he did.

So it goes.

- Hey, there. - Hey, Michael.

What up?

- Harry. - Yeah?

I want you to look at something.

Letter Dwight Wise left me.

"When the system fails,

righteous men rise up."

What do you think it means?

It means you got to do what you got to do.

That look like self-defense to you?

Detective, we have been through this.

- Dillon will do time. - 11 years for a child's life.

In exchange for his intel and his testimony,

we have taken down a major human trafficking operation.

Cruz is in custody, we saved three girls,

and who knows how many more in the future. That's a win.

We didn't save that girl's mother.

A damn shame, a tragedy.

What about the other nine? I recovered a dozen IDs.

And we are working those names.

Cruz and his crew are going down for a very long time.

It's the greater good, Detective.

If we could prove Daisy didn't carry a knife,

it wasn't self-defense,

he's caught in a lie, his deal is dead.

We can try him for murder and really get the greater good.

We have some measure of justice here, Detective.

We have to live with that.

You know, somebody once said,

"When the system fails, righteous men will rise up."

But not here, I guess.

Shame on us.

It's like I can't move on.

It haunts me, his evil spirit.

I just... I can't get rid of it.

Nobody bats a thousand.

Hey, you did the best you could.

It's just different when you know for a fact

who the guy is and what he's done.

And nothing you can do about it.

He's playing you, laughing at you.

I can see the look on his face.
