"We must have done something in a past life to deserve him." "I know." "What's the bad news?" "You're looking at it." "Morgan Campbell." "He's kind of a big deal." "Hedge-fund guy." "Aren't all those guys big deals?" "Yeah, but Campbell is the mayor's big deal, so there's a lot of pressure from downtown to wrap this one up real quick." "All right, I'm gonna go out on a limb and guess that he doesn't live or work around here." "Mnh-mnh." "Way out in the Palisades." "He was obviously carrying a briefcase or something that he didn't want to let go of." "Yep." "Cracked his skull there." "Van Stone wants us to investigate it under the theory of -- Mugging gone bad." "Yeah." "Okay, you know what?" "Call me crazy, but..." "When I mug a guy, I take his $30,000 watch." "Did he still have a wallet on him?" "Found this, Detective." "Okay." "Worst mugger ever." "It happens." "Mugger didn't mean to kill the guy, got scared, took off." "Hey." "Michelle." "Check that out." "Ugh." "Dudes see psychics?" "Creepy, right?" "Like a guy in a nail salon." "Yo, Glo, I feel very dirty saying this, all right, but I'm gonna have to go with Van Stone on this one." "Some meth head probably grabbed the briefcase, tried to bolt," "Campbell fought back." "Maybe." "Or the thing in the case is what he was after." "You know, I really hate it when you say "maybe" like that." "I really do." "It bugs me." "It goes through my skin." "Why is that?" "'Cause your "maybe" -- come on." "It doesn't mean "maybe."" "Your "maybe" means you have a different theory and everybody else is wrong." "Well, I am just wondering what Campbell was carrying in that briefcase that was worth dying for." "And why is he in this park?" "I don't care why." "I just care that we catch the dirtbag who killed this guy." "Nice of you to show up, Sheppard." "Did you stop for a muffin and a latte on the way in?" "No, I just figured I'd give you a head start." "I saw the watch." "I saw the wallet." "I still say it's a mugging gone south." "How hard could it be?" "Why don't you go to the church over there, see if anybody saw anything." "I'm gonna go see the wife and, uh, give her the good news." "Hey, Van Stone." "You know what?"

"Did you notice that zodiac print back there?" "Yeah." "My cousin has one just like it, but each sign is represented by a different sexual position." "Now, she says she did every one except for Gemini." "I know, I know." "You're wondering about the psychic card in Campbell's wallet -- if he's the one who's into the whole astrology stuff or if it's the wife." "You know, she played it pretty cool back there, but I could hear those wheels turning, you know what I mean?" "She's hiding something." "I'm still tasting egg."

"First off, don't yuck my yum, okay?" "Second, major crimes has been looking into Campbell's firm for fraud." "Turns out the guy is worth like 60 mil, but they think it's all a house of cards." "Yeah, but -- Now, that doesn't get him mugged at the park, but that does tells us that not everybody loved Morgan Campbell." "I can explain the park." "Campbell took 300 grand from his personal account yesterday -- cash." "Teller told me that he put it into a leather briefcase." "Okay, which answers the broken fingers." "Campbell didn't want to give up the money." "Huh, I guess Campbell was the one into psychics." "There are three of them on his credit-card bill." "So you think he was supposed to meet somebody at the park?" "Not at the park." "Near the park." "I just talked to the priest at the church up there." "He told me that Campbell asked him to bless his briefcase full of cash." "And he said that he told the priest that he was cursed." "Cursed?" "Like how?" "I'm not sure." "But if all of his investments had turned to crap, he was desperate." "Okay, so you think someone overheard Campbell confiding to the priest and then they grabbed the cash?" "No." "No?" "I think he was set up by one of those psychics." "Of course you do." "Hello, sir." "Wasn't her." "Madame what's-her-name in there didn't know about the murder." "She remembered seeing Campbell but was surprised that he was dead." "Yeah, well, I have a possible explanation for that." "Lieutenant called while you were in there getting your palm read." "He said Van Stone found a witness." "He's on the way down to the station tonight to make an I.D." "Well, was the suspect a fortune-teller?" "Why do you always do this?" "Why is it so hard for you to believe that Campbell was just in the wrong place at the wrong time?" "Because people don't just get mugged when they're carrying 300 grand in cash -- it's too convenient." "It happens all the time -- God looks down, he says," ""Hey, you, it's your turn to get mugged and killed." "Nothing personal." "Have a nice day."" "Campbell had big money problems, all right?" "He had three psychics on his last Amex bill." "He was panicked." "Or superstitious." "Come on, glo, you saw the zodiac print in the man's house." "I bet one of those other two psychics sensed his desperation, sent him to that church, took the money, and killed him." "Did you just not hear me say the thing about the thing?"

"But anyway, I went online and found all this great stuff, like, about the -- the beans -- well, you know what we should do?" "We should go to Silver Lake, 'cause there's a store there that grinds their own beans, and they're organic." "I heard airplanes roaring all last night." "I'm sorry, sweetie." "That was Uncle Davey's espresso maker." "My fault." "Do you think you could take them to school?" " Yeah." " I got to go see a lady about a thing." "Mm." "Sounds exciting." "You gonna make her cry?"

"You just love pissing people off, don't you, Sheppard?" "Yeah, that does seem to happen a lot, doesn't it?" "Okay." "Michelle:" "A wife, a mistress, and a girlfriend?" "That's a bold play on your part." "I would say Campbell is the player." " How long has he had the mistress?" " About three years." "Isn't that like having a second wife?" "Really, what is the upside to that?" "Mnh." "Different skill set, maybe?" "I bet that young one seems like she has a very specialized skill set." "What are you thinking, bringing Campbell's wife down here?" "I'm thinking I'll talk to her." "She already got a lawyer." "She's not gonna give you anything." "I already got it." "She didn't do it." "She's sitting next to two other women that were banging her husband." "How much more motive do you need, Sheppard?" "Hey, look at their handbags." "Ten to one Campbell gave them all that same handbag at the same time." "And they're just sitting together, like it's no big deal." "They're not idiots." "They're playing it cool." "I'm telling you -- Barbara Campbell knew that her husband was cheating on her, and she was totally okay with it." "Ridiculous." "Fine." "I'll go ask her." "Sheppard." "Mrs. Campbell, I am so sorry."

"Funny, isn't it?" "You think you're gonna hate them, and you actually end up kind of grateful." "Here." "Please." "You've been through it?" "Uh, yeah." "Kicked mine to the curb last year, and I never looked back." "I remember the day Morgan brought home those little blue pills." "I thought we were done with all that nonsense, and he's jumping into bed like he's a teenager again." "Those pills sent more women into therapy..." "I never slept so well as when he had those two going at once." "I just don't want my son to find out." "I understand." "I just have a few questions for you, and then we'll get you out of here, okay?" "All right." "Do I need a lawyer?" "I saw that Barbara Campbell had a lawyer." "I don't think I'm gonna ask you anything that you won't be able to answer." "Had you met Mrs. Campbell before today?"

"I was Morgan's mistress." "And yes, she was fine with it." "Relieved, actually." "Because she didn't have to have sex with him?" "And Morgan liked a lot of sex." "We had sex." "It was fun." "It was nothing serious." "I mean, it's only been a couple months." "Did you know that he had another girlfriend?" "I assumed." "Were you aware that Mr. Campbell was having financial problems?"

"I never really thought about it like that." "Nick says that's why we live with Uncle Davey -- so you can save him again if he gets in trouble." "We live with Uncle Davey because he's our family."

"So you think Curtis Moyers killed Morgan Campbell?" "Yeah, but I don't think that that was the plan." "I mean, look -- if Moyers knew that Campbell was in the church getting the money blessed, he was probably waiting at the park, figured he would grab and go." "Didn't expect Campbell to fight back." "Campbell fell, split his head open, Moyers took the cash." "Okay, say you're right." "How does a guy like Curtis Moyers get Campbell to show up with the cash?" "He doesn't." "Moyers was just supposed to steal it." "But he screwed that up." "So we got to find out who hired Curtis Moyers." "You said he was arguing with a woman?" "Yeah." "You got somebody in mind?" "Campbell's mistress, the wife..." "No, I'm pretty sure that it's not the wife." "Look, I know that she seems cold, but she loves her son, and I-I just don't see her killing his dad." "I agree."

"I-I even sent him to a church so he could have his money blessed." "Oh, you really tried to help this guy out, huh?" "Yeah." "Oh, okay, okay." "I get it." "Well, let me ask you one last question, okay?" "And I want you to think real hard before you answer it." "Who paid you to send him to that particular church?" "Oh, hi, Sam." "I'm sorry to bother you." "I just have a couple of quick questions for you." "You can get your mother if that would make you more comfortable." "Oh, yeah." "She's, uh, she's not here." "She and her lawyer left about an hour ago." "Oh, okay." "Well, I'll just -- I'll make it brief, then." "Um..." "I've noticed that sometimes young people pick up on things that adults miss, or they'll hear something that adults don't hear, and " "You're here asking if I might have heard something that would explain why my dad was...killed?" "Yeah, or just anything that might have upset him." "Well, I know that his business was failing." "Did your mom know that?" "I don't know." "Did they fight about that?" "Well, they fought about everything." "I-I don't even " "I don't even know why they stayed together." "I think I can answer that." "I imagine they stayed together because they both loved you." "[ Cellphone ringing ] Excuse me." "[ Beep ] Sheppard." "Michelle:" "Hey, don't go all "I told you so" on me, but I found your psychic." "Campbell was set up." "I'll see you back at the station." "Lieutenant, we found the psychic that told Campbell to get the money blessed." "He I.D.'d Curtis Moyers as the guy who asked him to set Campbell up." "Now all we have to do is figure out who hired Moyers." "It was Campbell's wife." "No." "But I have a pretty good " "I'm telling you it was the wife." "She confessed." "Barbara Campbell's in with Van Stone right now." "Son of a bitch." "Mrs. Campbell, when did you first learn that your husband had been unfaithful?" "I'd known about it for quite some time, but I " "Uh, we're busy, Sheppard." "I'll talk to you later." "Yeah, well, actually, I wasn't looking to talk to you." "I was hoping that I could have a few words with Mrs. Campbell." "We're right in the middle of this, and I'm asking you to leave right now." "Okay." "Sorry." "Where were we?" "Look, I just want you to know that I don't believe you." "Sheppard." "You're right." "You're right." "You know, we can help you if you have been threatened " "Out of here..." "Now." "I apologize for that." "[ Chuckles ] Wow." "Yep." "Not my finest hour." "Van Stone's not gonna forget this one." "He'll have you written up." "I know." "Gloria, why is it that everybody can be wrong except for you?" "I can be wrong." " But not about the wife?" " No." "I buy the mistress, I buy the girlfriend, but not the wife, and certainly not with a confession." "Van Stone is just sitting there, taking whatever is handed to him." "Moyers is dead." "The one guy who could finger her is out of the way, so why does she confess, huh?" "Why say it's her if she's already gotten away with it?" "Makes no sense." "There are other theories, you know." "Say the wife's the one who's into the whole astrology, psychic stuff." "Maybe she felt guilty 'cause it got him killed." "Maybe." ""Maybe."" "We gonna go through this again, or you gonna tell me what you really think?" "Of course I'm gonna tell you what I really think." "When have I not told you what I really think?" " All the time!" " That's not true." " You " " I always tell you." " No, you don't." "Hi." "We're sorry to bother you, Ms. Monroe." "Would you mind getting your driver's license for us?" "I'm sorry." "What?" "If you could just get your wallet, please." "Okay." "Um..." "Driver's license?" "I'll tell you in a sec." "I'm sorry I'm not dressed." "It's just these past couple of days, it's been really hard for me to get out of bed." "Um, that won't be necessary." "I don't understand." "Thanks very much for your time." "Let's go." "Now we know who killed Morgan Campbell." "Here you go." "Have a seat." "Thank you." "Mm-hmm." "What's Sam Campbell doing here?" "Oh." "You know Sam?" "Yeah." "He's Morgan's son." "I mean, I've seen him before." "We've never really talked." "Really?" "Well, what about today, when Detective Sheppard was over at his house?" "I wasn't." "She saw your handbag." "Oh, that?" "No, Morgan gave us all the same bag." "He thought it was funny." "Oh." "Yeah." "[ Chuckles ]" "Yeah, I know." "But Barbara Campbell had hers with her today at the station, and Kathleen Monroe had hers at her house, which..." "Leaves you." "I don't know what to tell you about that." "What's, uh, what's she doing here?" "Who she?" "T-that woman my dad was seeing." "Oh, Ashley?" "Oh, she came in 'cause she says she knows who's responsible for your dad's death, yeah." "Don't act like you don't know Ashley's name, okay?" "It's insulting to me." "I know that she was at your house today." "He says he knows who's responsible for killing his dad." "I thought his mom confessed." "Who told you that?" "I-I thought -- I thought my mom confessed." "Well, she did." "But she's just protecting the real killer." "You learned Campbell was gonna lose everything, probably even go to jail." "The wife will get whatever's left," "Kathleen Monroe got the big condo that he bought her, and you end up with nothing." "Is that fair?" "I mean, you're doing all the heavy lifting, right?" "No." "I mean, the wife sure ain't putting out." "I mean, you finally get the big fish, and he goes bust." "So you thought..." ""I should get some seed money." ""Say... 300 grand."" "She is crazy hot, isn't she?" "I mean, a woman like that interested in a kid like you?" "And the fact that she was putting out for your dad made it all the better, didn't it?" "Gave you a little secret to have on him." "Finally you had some power, huh?" "I bet you could convince Morgan Campbell to do just about anything you wanted, huh?" "Even go see a psychic." "No." "You told your mother." "You told her about Ashley and everything that had happened, and she said that she would take care of it." "But you never expected her to take the fall for it, did you?" "I mean, that was -- that was even worse than what happened to your dad, wasn't it?" "A-Ashley said that we could be together." "You know, t-that -- that she and I would..." "Look, w-we love each other." "Okay, we " " I-I just -- I couldn't " "I couldn't take care of her the way that my dad could, with -- with these clothes and -- and stuff." "So you hatched a plan to get some money of your own." "Nobody was supposed to get hurt." "[ Sobs ]" "He wasn't supposed to die, was he?" "Just grab the cash..." "Walk off into the sunset." "But your little friend Curtis Moyers -- he screwed up, didn't he?" "That's why you killed Moyers." "Look, I've got nothing to say, so either you let me go, or you let me call my lawyer." "Call the lawyer." "Sam just gave you up." "So why did Campbell take all that money to the priest?" "No, he'd lost millions, so Ashley convinced him to see a psychic." "And the psychic told him to take it to the priest." " He was that stupid?" " Desperate." "But I get the impression that Ashley Spicer can make most men do just about anything she wants." " Ask Sam Campbell." " Or Curtis Moyers." "She confess to killing Moyers?" "Making a deal." "Between all the physical evidence and Sam Campbell's testimony, we've got her cold." "[ Knock on door ]" "Come in!" "Wanted to see me, sir?" "Yeah." "Sheppard has something she wants to say to you." "I do?" "Fine." "All right, look, just because I was right and you were wrong on the Campbell murder didn't give me the right to interrupt your own feeble investigative path." "Is that supposed to be some sort of lame-ass apology to dissuade me from writing you up?" "No, this is." "As lead Detective, the mayor has requested that you join him and his wife for lunch tomorrow so he can personally thank you for such a quick and satisfying resolution to this case." "Lame-ass apology..." "Accepted." "Thanks." "[ Speaks Thai ]" "I'll tell you later." "Come on." "You want anything else?" "Uh, yeah." "Could you bring in some, uh, uh, uh, water from the garage?" "Yeah." "Good job." "Nicholas:" "Thanks." "Hey, uh, Leo, we're gonna eat soon, baby." "Hey, Leo, can you come out here, please?" "Leo, do you know how these got here?" "What do you mean?" "Leo, did you put them here?" "Did they feel scared outside?" "Because this is a new neighborhood for them, right?" "I see." "Why do you think they decided to hide here?" "'Cause it's safe." "Why did they pick our house to be safe?" "'Cause you're here."
