L.A.'s Finest

Walker, you okay?

Yeah. Yeah, I'm good.

This is Detective Walker from Robbery-Homicide.

We have an explosion, fire.

Multiple injuries.

Local business owner

and beloved community activist Gi Choi died

in an explosion and fire in his residence

in Koreatown this evening.

Police fear that violence could escalate

if the individuals responsible for this act of terror

are not apprehended soon.

LAPD has contained areas around Koreatown,

but fear of widespread violence has the city on edge.

Yeah, I'm leaving now. Okay.

One dead, several wounded.

Baines and Walker were on the scene.

Thank God they're okay.

Jesus, a bomb?

This K-Town thing is out of control.

You got a key to lock up?

I don't leave home without it.

I'll see you down there.

All right, on our way.

Bens okay?

Yeah, a little banged up, but they'll live.

Choi? Not so much.

Looks like another fun night in Koreatown.

Yo. I forgot to tell you.

What? Frost is dirty.

Yeah, no shit.

I mean, anyone that goes to a furry sex party...

What is that? In a, in a horse costume?

I mean... Let me put this another way.

Frost is corrupt.

What? Why?

She deleted a couple names out of Jen's digital black book

and erased it from the case file.

Whoa. That's huge.

Who was it?

I don't know. Fletcher's working on it.

Man, it had to be someone important

for her to cross a line like that.

Important people have important secrets. Man.

Could be what got Jen killed.

You know, if Calloway catches you snooping around

before you find anything...

Like, really find anything... You're done.

Don't worry about Calloway.

I mean, he was been riding you so hard

since he has been head of department.

Yes, he has.

So hard.

No.

You go ahead.

He's a good time.

Izzy's a stranger around the house these days.

And when she is home, she locks herself in her room.

Yeah, that's her job, McKenna.

She's a teenager. And she's been through some stuff.

Yeah, well, she acts like the kidnapping never happened,

and she doesn't even ask about

me and Patrick and all the weirdness between us.

Well, maybe she doesn't want to know.

This Izzy scares me.

She's different.

I mean, she's making us breakfast.

Excuse me. Do you have any of those Toy Story Band-Aids

for my boy? Dude,

you're talking really loud. And lollipops!

He likes lollipops, too.

Sorry. He just escaped from the nursing home.

You guys okay? Yeah, he's deaf, and I'm good,

but Calloway's waiting for y'all inside.

What the hell happened?

What the hell happened?

Word got out

that we liked Choi for Reuben's murder.

So some of Leon's boys came and vandalized Choi's place.

Yeah, Leon found the kids who did it,

brought them here to help clean up.

All these people came out.

Kind of turned into a block party.

But Leon made peace with Choi

before he left, Choi goes inside

to open up a package, and boom.

Well, maybe Leon's olive branch was just a ruse

- to get the bomb planted inside. - I don't know.

A ton of people were in and out of there.

Anyone could've dropped that package.

Leon showing up here would've been trending on social media.

There's got to be a ton of videos and photos out there, right?

Yeah, we'll dig into it. Come on.

Go back to your neighborhood!

Go back to your mansion in the Hills, rich boy!

And take your bangers with you.

This is our neighborhood!

What's wrong with you people?

I'm just trying to save these kids...

Our kids... From killing each other!

I lost my brother in these streets!

Reuben didn't have to die.

Choi did this.

He burned down the community center.

He doesn't want peace, he wants power.

He wants to divide us!

He forgot what we came from!

Yo, man, Choi's dead.

Did you hear that?

What?

Yeah, your boys blew up his house.

Explosives were concealed in a package.

Wow.

It's got to be Leon or his people, right?

Getting revenge for Reuben's death?

A bomb isn't his style.

Leon's whole persona is brash and macho and in-your-face,

so... That's his brand.

Outside the ring, when the cameras are off, he's not that guy.

Leon is a legend out here.

When he fights, bars are packed, lines out the door,

kids standing on their toes peeking in the windows to watch.

Reuben was like Leon's brother.

You come at the champ's boy,

you're coming at the neighborhood.

Well, that doesn't exactly

narrow the suspect pool, just widens it right out.

Whether it's Leon responsible or not,

Choi's people will definitely be coming to look for payback.

Agreed. We need to find Leon.

Last thing we need is a dead middleweight champion.

That's what's left of the box the bomb was in.

EFP IED with a directional charge.

You see that on the Discovery Channel?

No, I was EOD Special Ops in the Navy.

"Explosive Ordnance Destruction Unit."

It's the military's version of our bomb squad. Got it. Yeah.

He knows about this, and I'm just now finding out?

I read your personnel folders when I took over the squad.

Your partner was awarded the Navy Cross over in Iraq.

Really?

Is that so? I did not know that.

You're doing some old Hurt Locker type of thing

in the Navy, and this is the first time you bring it up.

On your six!

Get out of here, man!

What you doing here?

You don't belong here no more!

You wanted him dead.

You know what you did.

How dare you show your face here?

- Can I just talk to you, please? - Hey, Dulce, stop.

Just think about your son, okay?

Go back where you came from!

I didn't do it! Okay? I swear I didn't do it.

You couldn't stand Gi raising your son like his own.

You wanted him dead, and now you got your wish!

Let me talk to my son. I just want to talk to my son.

I didn't do it. I didn't do this.

You're a dead man! I'm a what?

You're a dead man!

I'm a what? You gonna kill me? Ricky. Ricky, no.

Baines, get him of here! Go!

Chill! All right?

Let's go. Walk away.

All right, get him out of here, guys.

We got to find Choi's killer fast.

The explosion and fire that claimed

the life of community leader Gi Choi last evening

has led to widespread civil unrest in Koreatown.

Fire ripped through the...

Crazy night?

Not fun.

You get any sleep?

I am running on fumes

and coffee. That's two nights in a row.

You got to start taking care of yourself.

I'll be fine.

It's Izzy I'm worried about.

What happened? Nothing.

I just...

Have you been giving her extra money?

$20 here, $40 there. Why?

Nothing.

Nance, if something's going on with Izz, you got to tell me.

No, I mean, obviously, things aren't, like, great between us,

and so, she's probably noticed.

I'm worried about what's going on in her head.

You know? The scars you can't see.

I guess with the campaign,

I've been a little checked out. Me, too.

Maybe we should make an effort

to pay more attention?

Agreed.

You know we're gonna have to talk to her about

us.

Yeah.

Yo! Y'all really got to start locking your door. I got to go.

Have a good one. You, too.

What's up? Morning.
