Motive

Someone tried to implicate you in a murder, Neville.

You've already looked at

every possible source in the company,

and you couldn't find a leak.

I need to step down as primary on this case.

The doctor needs to run more tests, so...

Okay, I'll get Angie to take point.

I mean, at first, I didn't think anything of it.

Just a guy nosing around my car.

Then I started thinking about it,

and I have seen him in front of my house.

I'll get in touch with Threat Assessment Unit.

Oh, come on, I don't need protection.

Are you listening to this guy?

You don't know what you're talking about, okay?

That, my friend, is a Patek Philippe.

You ever heard of it?

It's worth more than you make in a month.

Scratch that, a year.

There a problem here, gentlemen?

Yes, there is, actually.

I'm trying to buy in to the next game,

and this moron is telling me that my watch is a counterfeit.

Take a look. Look at it.

He's right.

It's worthless.

Ken, my dad gave me this watch.

That's between you and your father.

Well, it's gotta be worth something.

I mean, come on.

Get up now. Don't make a scene.

Get out.

All right, all right!

Gentlemen.

Talk about desperate. Am I right?

I do not want to be that guy right now.

Look, guys, this isn't my fault.

I was up until that tourist joined the table.

He's the one you should kick out, Ken.

Jesse, Jesse...

How much money do you owe me?

Like, 25.

You want me to front you another five

so you can lose that, too?

Well, when you put it like that,

it sounds like a bad idea.

Look, I wouldn't ask

if I didn't think that my luck was going to turn, Ken.

Ow! Ow! Ow!

Your luck is turning, Jesse...

- Not in the face. - Wait, wait, wait...

Don't come back here until you've got my money.

Betty's just finishing up with her examination,

then we can have the crime scene.

Okay, great.

So, I'm quitting, you know,

to pursue my lifelong dream of country music.

Yeah?

Yeah.

You hate country music.

Don't you joke about quitting.

You thought I wasn't listening.

Well, welcome back, partner.

But I am.

Two homicides in one morning. It's going to be a busy day.

Hey.

Hey.

Victim's name is Ken Leung.

Two gunshot wounds,

one to the head, one to the chest.

Murder weapon's on the counter

in the kitchen.

The one to the chest is what killed him.

The second one was unnecessary,

medically speaking.

Insurance or overkill, right?

So they left the gun, huh?

It could be professional.

Yeah.

When do you think you'll get to the autopsy?

Uh, Lucas's victim is on the way to the morgue right now,

so I can probably do Mr. Leung later tonight.

Okay, thanks.

So, we have a third murder.

Point Grey.

Cross wants me to head over.

Everybody get's a body.

I'm here for my order.

It's not ready yet.

You said today.

No, you asked if it could be ready today.

I said, I'll see what I can do.

- How soon? - Tomorrow.

A rush job is another two grand.

All right.

Each.

These passports better be perfect.

Your own mother won't be able to tell the difference.

It's not my mother I need to convince.

Can you put a rush on that fingerprint report?

Thanks.

So, what's the word?

Turns out our victim, Ken Leung,

is the deputy leader of the Golden Tiger triad.

He's been promoted.

Oh, so you know him.

We've crossed paths.

Gang Squad tell you his brother, George,

is in charge of west coast operations?

Yes, they did,

only they referred to him as "Mountain Master."

- Because they like to show-off. - Yeah, they do.

We're going to need to talk to the brother.

Any other suspects?

Take your pick.

The guy was a career criminal.

There's also an ex-wife in the mix.

He called her this morning at 3:00,

and there was a call from a Jesse Simon

over the weekend.

Okay, start with the ex.

I should be there when you talk to George.

Why?

I can handle a mountain master.

Didn't say you couldn't.

I've been expecting this

since we first started dating.

Never pictured myself living in a place like this

when I got the news, though.

Ken called you this morning at 3:00 A.M.

Why?

He was drunk.

Rambling.

Said he'd screwed up.

With you?

That would imply he cared about me.

Did he say how he screwed up?

I assumed it had something to do with work.

I was surprised he even called me.

That's not a common occurrence.

We didn't have much to say to each other.

I lost my daughter because of him.

She's with a foster family now.

I'm sorry, that must have been very hard on you.

I didn't kill Ken.

I'm angry.

I'm not stupid.

You know who his brother is, right?

We do.

Just tell me when Ken was killed.

I'll tell you where I was.

Actually I'll need your movements for the last 24 hours.

Here.

Can you think of anyone who might have wanted to hurt Ken?

Yeah, that's something I want to go on record about.

Here's my card, in case you think of anything.

Thank you for your time.

Teri?

Charlie, I need to talk to you.

Now's a bad time.

It's really important.

Let me call you back.

Charlie? Charlie!

Son of a bitch!

Okay, uh...

What does $500 get me?

Take your pick.

That one.

What?

Bullets?

500 gets you a gun.

Everyone, I apologize for the interruption.

Here's a little something to sweeten the pot.

She's exceptional at her job.

You're quite the mahjong player.

You been playing long?

Online for a couple of years.

It's the same concept as gin rummy.

You're a professional card player?

No, my grandfather loved cards.

I learned math playing Blackjack with him.

Oh, bingo.

Congratulations.

Oh, that's not necessary.

Well, at least let me buy you a drink.

No, thanks.

I need to be able to focus.

Of course.

Keep an eye on table three.

Ronald Hanlon's last hours alive

were spent in sheer agony.

His body is still warm to the touch,

which means he died within the last couple of hours.

But the beating took place much earlier than that.

I mean, judging from the bruising and swelling

around the fractures,

I'm thinking, maybe, late last night,

early this morning.

Any idea when you can get to the autopsy?

Brian and Angie's bodies are up first.
