The Outsider Page #4

Sheriff's Department pick

up a guy on assault charges

and immediately contacted us.

Last time I checked, we

were a major crimes unit.

You might want to remind

the Lieutenant that

next time he calls us in

for something like this.

I'll keep that in mind.

The assailant's a British National.

Military contractor, Iraq, Afghanistan.

Got picked up at the offices of

Most Industries down in Century City.

Apparently he got into a heated argument

and beat the living daylights

out of the security detaiI.

Here's the catch. He says

that his daughter was missing

and he was trying to track her down

through her last known employer.

Her name's Samantha Walker.

Our San Pedro victim?

Yeah, told the arresting officers

that they got the wrong girI.

Well, find out if

there's any truth to it.

Have Henderson pull the

file and bring it down here.

- Yeah.

- I'll see what I can get out of him.

Welcome to Los Angeles, Mr. Walker.

Long way across the pond, huh?

How long before I can get out of here?

Well, it's not that simple.

Sure it is.

I know all about the

American justice system.

- Oh, do you?

- Yeah, set the arraignment and let's go.

I've heard about your

daughter. I have a young son.

I can't imagine what

you're going through.

Is there anyone in this

town who'll listen to me?

I'm gonna say it again

for the last time.

My daughter's not dead.

The body they were gonna ship

back to London is not Samantha's.

Well, maybe you could tell me

why you busted up that place.

That guy, um, Schuuster...

He's not telling me everything.

He knows Sam.

You're right about that.

See, he gave us a full statement today

and luckily he's not

gonna press charges.

Well, isn't that big of him?

Well, he's got 12 months from

this date to change his mind,

so if I were you, Mr.

Walker, I'd leave it alone.

Look, I did not go in

there to cause trouble.

AII I want to do is find my girI, get

her safe, and bring her home, that's it.

Excuse me a minute.

Don't worry, mate. I'll be here.

All right, I pulled the

file. Here's what we're looking at.

There's not much on her.

Some parking tickets and

sh*t, untiI about a month ago,

when she got arrested at a DUl checkpoint

at a bar in the Valley called Cabos.

Look at this picture.

It was taken four weeks ago

the night she got arrested.

And this one was taken

at the crime scene

right after they pulled

the body from the water.

I don't know, it's hard to tell, but

the limey may be telling the truth.

Pull the box.

The police are cutting

him loose in an hour.

My contact at the department

said you refused to press charges.

Your contact?

That would actually imply that

you knew what you were doing.
