L.A.'s Finest

Baines.

Baines.

Hey.

Baines. Baines.

Hey. You all right?

You all right?

What happened?

Where's... where's Ward?

Where's Ward?

- Let's go, let's go! - There he is, there he is.

Damn it.

- Let's go. - Easy. I get it, he's pissed.

Mr. Kline.

- I knew you brought heat, but... - Shut up.

What did you tell them?

Nothing.

What do they know?

They know I killed Ricky.

That's it.

That's not it.

They know I work for you.

That's everything.

You got to believe me.

I do.

This wasn't an extraction.

It was an execution.

Van was recovered a few miles away.

- An inferno. - Ward?

Body was burnt to a crisp.

Can't be sure till the tests come back, but...

Yeah, it's Malcolm Ward.

Who wanted to kill Ward so bad

that they would come at LAPD like this?

They hit us with a car.

We were in there, Lieutenant.

You guys okay to keep going on this?

- More than okay. - Motivated.

Good.

Run the prints on the dead gunman.

I want to know who he is, where he lives,

what he had for breakfast.

We're gonna figure out who did this.

You're gonna get through this, you know.

You never wobbled, like other toddlers.

One day, I was in the kitchen,

and I was standing in there and,

you came storming up.

I thought you were gonna give me a hug, but you just,

you pushed me aside and you said "Move",

and ran right to your mother who was standing behind me.

You should have seen the smile that was on your mom's face when,

you ran and hugged her legs.

"Though she be but little,

she is fierce."

She was teaching Shakespear in her English class.

She's right, you know?

You are fierce.

From that moment that you pushed me aside

and told me to move until now,

this moment,

and forever.

Your mother

she's gone,

but just because you can't reach out and hold on to her,

doesn't mean she isn't with you.

Izzy, she is always with you.

And so am I.

I love you, Isabel.

It feels like everyone else has moved on,

and it all just happened in my head.

You are the most important thing in the world to me.

You know that, right?

You guys have an incredible bond

and have been through so much.

You okay?

- I'm sorry. - So sorry.

What happened?

Nathan Baker.

- What? - You know what he was doing.

You know what happened.

I mean, he definitely feels like

- the most likely suspect... - No, he did it.

He killed Dad. So, I don't know,

go get him, arrest him, kill him. Just do something.

Izzy, that's not how it works, babe.

I know that's not how it works, Syd, but

he killed my father.

- Nico, stay with Iz. - Yeah. All right.

Hey.

Nathan Baker?

Did you do it?

- Did you do it? - Whoa. Jesus.

- Did you do it? - What are you talking about?

- Did you kill him? Did you kill Patrick? - McKenna.

Let him answer.

He's dead?

Patrick McKenna is dead?

Wow.

You can put your gun down. I didn't kill him.

I was pissed he won that election, but

I was just trying to ruin his life, I wasn't trying to...

How'd he die?

Doesn't matter.

If you ask me, he got off easy.

What are you so mad about? Didn't you divorce his ass anyway?

Okay, hey. Hey, hey, hey. No, no, no.

- Stop... Stop it. Stop it. - Move.

D... don't. Don't.

This is exactly what he wants.

Leave. Now.

Have a nice evening, Detectives.

McKenna, hey. McKenna, calm down.

Okay? Calm down. We'll just talk about it, all right?

Are you really telling me to calm down?

You, of all people, Syd?

- You're hurting. - Yeah, no shit.

- We can work through it, okay? - What are we, 12?

What are we gonna do?

Write in our diary?

What good is that gonna do?

Patrick's dead, McKenna.

And it's okay to grieve.

I'll grieve when I find the killer.

- Who are you? - Who am I? Who are you?

My God. It happened here?

Where's my niece?

Yeah, the... the mahogany one with the brass trim is... is fine.

Okay, yeah. As long as that's the best one.

Okay.

Okay, thanks, bye.

Aunt Karen.

- Hi. - Sweet girl.

I'm so sorry.

- I got on a plane as soon as I heard. - Yeah.

Hi, Karen.

Nancy.

Have you found the monster that did this yet?

No. We have some leads, but...

Let's get you out of this house.

You'll stay at my hotel with me?

We were planning on staying

at my brother's apartment for a little bit, so...

Nonsense. I have plenty of room and,

that'll free you up to do whatever you need to do.

Whatever I need to do? What... what does that mean?

There are arrangements to be made,

um, things to be done.

I'll take care of Izzy while you see to Patrick's affairs.

Yeah.

Go pack a bag. I've got a car on the way.

Okay, yeah.

Did this happen because of you?

Are you really coming into this house accusing me...

Did one of your case get that poor girl's father killed?

After she's already lived through witnessing her mother's death?

When my sister married Patrick,

he had just passed the bar.

Had she known that one day, both of them...

God, save it, Karen.

We both know you never liked Patrick

when he married your sister, and

you hated him when they split up.

But I love my niece,

- and now she's got nobody left. - She has me.

She needs to be with family now.

Um... That's our car.

Okay...

We'll just go, then?

Yeah, you should, you should get out of here. This...

It... it'll be good for you...

- Okay. - To get out of here.

You know, just a different atmosphere.

Okay.

- I love you. - I love you.

Okay.

I've made a decision.

The panel's called for Friday.

We'll hear your confession then.

In the meantime, you can work your active cases.

And Baines and Emma?

Clear.

Congratulations, Lieutenant. You have

single-handedly snuffed out

police brutality and corruption in the LAPD.

Didn't have to go like this.

Yeah, it does.

McKenna.

Lieutenant.

I'm sorry for your loss.

Thank you.

I'm surprised you're here.

Izzy's with her aunt. And...

The funeral arrangements have been made, so.

I need this.

That's fine. You can stay.

Thanks.

Any word on Patrick's case?

We questioned Nathan Baker this morning.

He's threatening to sue LAPD over your visit, by the way.

I'm sorry.
