Deputy Chief Irving weighs his options.—Anonymous
- A man, Tony, drives a silver Bentley convertible at night, he talks to a woman , Baby, on the hands free. He stops for a blonde woman with car trouble, as he says he will call AAA, he is shot in the back by a man in a hoodie.
Six months after his suspension, Harry Bosch jogs down the street near his house. He shaves his beard and Maddie calls to wish him luck. Harry drives in to Hollywood Station, at first everyone acts like a regular work day. Crate and Barrel break the ice and a warm reunion follows. Lt Billets calls him in, assigns him to Edgar and a new Detective Ferris. She returns his gun, ID and badge.
The three cops go to a house to pick up a sex offender. A man in O2 mask and wheelchair says his son is not home. Bosch looks around, then tips the wheelchair over declaring this is Chilton Hardy, the suspect. Hardy escapes and Bosch chases, then catches him near the freeway. Edgar is impressed with Bosch's fitness.
At the Station Harry greets the new Captain, a gruff no nonsense man. Sgt. Mankiewicz tells Harry that Capt Pounds was re-assigned to Art Theft Detail.
DA O'Shea, Reverend Ott and Deputy Chief Irving have lunch and plan an announcement.
Bosch is questioned by a Grand Jury, he is led to admit he was the Officer-in-Charge during the Waits' escape.
Sgt. Washington and Irving chat, Washington doesn't know what is going on with the Grand Jury.
After his first day back Harry is reflective and tosses away cigarettes. He calls Maddie, they make small talk, Eleanor is at the Casino until midnite, Reggie Woo has gone back to Hong Kong.
At a Mulholland Drive Scenic Overlook, a patrol cop approaches the abandoned Bentley, he pops the trunk, and is startled by the smell. Harry is called to the scene.
On site Harry reams out the officer, Billets is there and they update. Det. Ferris is re-assigned, the ME says the body is dead three days. Inside, they find his wallet and money, it is Anthony Allen, who was in Las Vegas Saturday. Allen is a porn film producer. They find a small photo of an attractive brunette in the wallet. Bosch and Edgar are told to go to the dead man's house.
Connie Irving comes downstairs to hear Irvine Irving playing piano, the big announcement is on Sunday, Irving explains the plans and rumours. She kisses him and is thankful their son George is off the streets.
At a bar, George Irving drinks up with a partner, Eddie Arsenault. They go to a hotel room and surprise a man getting a blowjob. They shake him down for the $5000 in his wallet and a future monthly fee. Arsenault reports in to someone and says George did well. George goes to a washroom and texts someone from a stall.
Bosch and Edgar speculate on when Allen was killed. They pull up to the gate of the Hidden Highlands subdivision. The security chief is a former Detective Carl Nash, he hires former cops and moonlighters. Bosch knows him and recalls he had to leave the LAPD due to Internal Affairs.
Veronica Allen is a gorgeous 40-something blonde. She knows her husband fooled around with strippers and porn actresses. She hasn't spoken to Allen since mid-week, she assumed he was staying with a new girlfriend in Las Vegas. Veronica admits she was a former porn actress also. Outside, Nash says Harry needs a warrant to review security video. Nash is surprised to learn Anthony Allen is dead, he offers to help out.
Det. Ferris checks out the Bentley, he finds a hidden compartment with cash, $245,000. Billets is happy to see it and calls Edgar. The LAPD cops go to the T&A Films office, Jerry finds a thumb drive, Harry finds a DVD starring Veronica, an R-rated flick. Harry finds a hidden camera in the office, a tech gets into the recordings and they wind back to Saturday 11:30 pm. Two men are seen entering the office at 4:00 am, and de-bugging the place. They seem to be pros. Bosch finds an exterior camera that may have video too.
Veronica has a nervous cigarette by her window, Carl Nash watches her from outside.
