first door on your right.

Thanks.

Well, Mr. McCaleb.

Detective Arrango.

I thought you were dead

or retired.

I hear you want to talk

about Gloria Torres.

Can we talk privately?

About what?

- I'm looking into her death.

- Here we go, same old sh*t.

I'll give you five minutes, that's it,

before I toss your ass right out.

- My partner will be here in a minute.

- Want a doughnut?

I want to know who you're working for.

Her sister, right?

That's right.

I knew it. Son of a b*tch.

Let me see your ticket.

I don't have a license,

if that's what you mean.

Is it stuffy in here?

Is it hot?

No.

Just get a little air.

Let me give us some air

and make it more comfortable.

Okay, let me get this straight. You're

conducting a homicide investigation...

...into the Gloria Torres case?

That's true.

You don't have a license to practice

as a private investigator in California?

That's right.

Do you know it's a crime to practice

as an investigator without a license?

Will you knock off the crap?

I just wanted to have a talk.

Knock off the tape too.

- He's blocking the microphone anyway.

- Why didn't you say?

In the three years we've

interrogated here, maybe I forgot.

Come on, fellas. I'm just

here to help. Have a doughnut.

How do you know Graciella Rivers?

She's an acquaintance.

I told her I'd look into it. That's all.

If you guys aren't gonna have one,

I'm gonna have one.

Look.

I don't care what her sister told you,

Mr. Former FBI Profiler.

This ain't the type of case you like.

This ain't a glamorous case

that will get headlines.

This isn't Charles Manson

or Ted f***ing Bundy.

This is an ordinary

convenience-store robbery.

Some idiot with a gun...

...with the right ratio

of balls to brains pulled the trigger.

I told her I'd check it out.

You've been on this a while,

and a fresh pair of eyes won't hurt.

I won't grandstand anybody.

I'll give any information to you first.

I'm not trying to one-up anyone.

What do you want?

A copy of the murder book

and a video walk-through of the scene.

I was always good with crime scenes.

- No can do.

- Why not?

- No way, man.

- How often does the sister call you?

Every day, weekends, holidays...

Believe it or not, we got feelings.

It hurts me to tell her there

are no leads or suspects.

I can get her off your case.

I tell her I looked into it, you're

doing a good job, she stops calling.

You were always good at a crime scene.

But the key word is "were. "

Are you still?

You just give me a copy

of the tape, that's all.

Oh.

We got more than

just the crime-scene tape.

We've got the crime.

Bring the doughnuts. Come on.

WALLER:

That's Kyungwon Kang, the owner.
