Bosch

So, what is that?

The Reggie chip.

That's how he proposed to Mom.

Or decided to.

Yes, no.

He flipped it three times before he got a "yes."

He gave it to her.

She gave it to me.

For good luck.

He still doesn't know.

Keep trying. You'll get through.

Why don't you wait?

We can go to the bank together.

I need to get her instructions. The will.

So we can do this the way she wants.

Okay.

See how your day goes.

You can always call me, I can meet you there.

I know.

Thanks.

-That's Jerry. -Yeah.

Okay if I stay in here?

Of course. He'll understand.

Jerry, come on in.

Eleanor, it's Jay.

My brother's in town. Call when you get this.

Yeah, I've heard this before.

-There's two of 'em. -One after the other.

Same language. The brother, twice?

Federal code.

Griffin pulling her in to protect her.

Tried. What else?

An outgoing text.

Screen grab from a video

sent late Saturday night to this number.

Blocked subscriber.

Griffin.

I've got Max on it.

15 minutes later, Eleanor calls you.

She was jazzed. Back in the hunt.

Hmm.

Ran facial recognition.

No hits local.

Federal, a flag

and a dead-end phone number for further inquiries.

Someone wants to keep this guy a ghost.

Ghost who killed her, had her killed.

Ghost makes Eleanor for a Fed,

and/or thinks she makes him.

She sends this.

Griffin checks it out. Whoa.

Major bad guy.

Monday morning, calls her in.

She took this.

The video was taken

20 minutes before she texted the screen grab.

At a restaurant called "Golden Soup."

San Gabriel.

Leave now, it's less than an hour.

Want company?

-Take your ride? -Yeah.

Hey.

Reggie's Skype account-- it looks like it's been closed.

We'll find him.

I'm gonna take a ride with Jerry.

I left the car keys out on the counter.

I might not go.

Whatever you decide. I'll be on my cell.

Me, too.

I love you.

Dad?

-

-

-

Let's play spot-the-Fed.

I already started.

Cable truck as we drove in.

Couple with the tiny dog.

Maybe we should rethink our approach.

I want soup.

Harry Bosch.

Jerry Edgar, I presume?

Chuck Tang.

What are you doing here?

You can't really be here.

Look, Harry, I can't begin to imagine.

I'm not asking you to, Chuck.

Don't jerk me off. Who is he?

A person of interest in a major counterintelligence operation.

You're set up here, waiting for him.

Homeland Security, geopolitics.

The stakes are sky-high, and you are directly in our arena.

Fine. We'll wait here with you.

His daughter just lost her mom, and you're talking about stakes.

The man is a Chinese national.

-He didn't pull the trigger. -You saying he wasn't involved?

I'm saying that if you go anywhere

near him, you'll jeopardize the case

that Eleanor gave her life for.

You want to do that?

No, I don't.

Thank you.

Let me know if you need any help.

New Bosch-- Helpful Harry.

He's right. We don't want to screw up their case.

We leave their person of interest alone?

Homicide's our arena.

We'll go after the shooters first.

As long as we're out of here before this goddamn protest.

-Here you are. -Oh, hold-hold on a second, okay?

-Oh. I'm sorry. Egg whites only. -Oh, sure.

-Oh.

What the fuck?!

He stole my phone!

This was

-a rush order. -Howard Elias. Hot case.

Nah. Lincoln dropped off last night.

The test was authorized for after-hours.

Nothing to test. Our courier banged in sick.

We couldn't get your evidence from property.

It's still there?

Well, it would be if I hadn't caught it when I came in,

and I sent someone over, but we are way backed up here today.

Yeah, well, this one's a high priority.

Straight from the chief. Yeah, I get it.

Do my best.

Times called me this morning about Francis Sheehan.

Prime suspect.

Your boy Bosch and his task force are leaking like a sieve.

The same Bosch who ran interference

for RHD's Friday night antics?

You're not here about Sheehan.

Rumor is you're making changes.

The tenth floor has always complained

about my unit's caseload.

Some of my command staff think you're not pulling your weight.

Do you agree with them?

Send in Detectives Bennett and Pell.

Chief.

I understand you've had a breakthrough on River Watch.

Person of interest.

Undocumented individual overheard,

two separate occasions,

bragging about the torching of an old folks' home.

Reliable sources?

CI's we've used before, solid results.

We have a description, a name.

Uh, Bondigas.

Says he lit the match, made a pile of money.

A contract job.

Yeah, we've made a few discreet inquiries.

Didn't want to spook 'em.

Construction site's downtown.

CI says he's a welder.

Bosch has some intersect with this, doesn't he?

A cold case connected to Caffrey,

the ex-cop who died in the fire.

We reached out.

Bosch must be pretty busy with Elias.

Well, I'll fill him in the next time we talk.

Good work.

Thank you, sir.

Listen, Chief, I...

I wouldn't put too much faith in rumors, Captain.

If I decide to make changes in RHD, trust me,

you'll be the first to know.

I don't know what you're worried about, Allen.

The thing's not built yet. The penthouses are 70% sold.

-It's not me. It's my board. -Who?

Jamie Leonard? His firm's taking two full floors.

We need to restructure the new loan. You're too leveraged.

This is legacy.

We're all leveraged one way or another.

Leverage, risk-- that's how this city changes.

The bank needs breathing room. You need to shift some equity.

Fine. Whatever you need.

Two percent of your phase three top sheet should do it.

It's no problem. Send the papers, I'll sign them.

-Oh, shit. -

-Look at this. -Oh, a good car wash

will fix that right up. It's just dust.

Hell, have it detailed. On me.

Golden Soup's ground zero.

Poker game.

who was playing, how they got there.

The Chinese national didn't play. If he had,

Eleanor would have taken his picture earlier.

So he showed up late.

Why?

We've got to talk.

I thought we were.

If I'm in, I'm in all the way,

which means no surprises. Not this time.

No apology for what I did with Gunn.

I'm talking about now. Moving forward.

How does this go?

We're gonna find who killed Eleanor.

That's not what I'm asking.

But that's my answer.

We get there, see how it goes down.
