at the Chinatown

Express tonight

and called the 911?

Of course.

It began

earlier in the day.

I was watering my plant.

I looked out my window

at my apartment.

The one you visited.

I saw a dark-colored vehicle with two

men inside parked across the street.

I didn't think

anything of it,

otherwise I would have

reported it then.

We began our night,

my employee and myself.

And around

approximately 12:38,

I looked in my

rearview mirror

and I saw what looked

like the same men

in the same vehicle

following us.

I made an evasive maneuver.

I circled back and tailed

them to the restaurant.

At which point,

I saw them go inside

and recognized them as the same

men from the home invasion.

You told me

you didn't see the men.

That you didn't get

a good look at them.

Well, it all came back lo me

when I saw them going in.

Their shapes

and their movements.

And then I saw that one of the

men had a gun under his shirt,

so I immediately got my

phone and dialed 911.

That's your story?

That's what happened. That's

why I'm sitting here with you.

I think that

the men saw my footage

and they tracked me down.

You want to know

what I think?

Yes, please.

I think you withheld

information.

I think you saw the two men in the

murder house in Granada Hills

and you saw the car

and you sat on it

to get something

you could film.

What do you think

about that?

I think that would be

a very unprofessional thing

for me to do in my business.

It would be murder.

I can understand why

you're looking into it,

but I didn't do

anything like that.

Nothing that could

be considered wrong.

You don't fool me

for a minute.

I'm glad.

I think everything

you said is a lie.

I wish my partner was here

to back up what happened.

You left your dead partner.

No, the ambulances arrived.

They're trained

professionals.

Yeah, and you seem real

broken up about that.

No, um...

He died doing

what he loved.

You filmed him dying.

Yeah. That's what I do.

It's my job.

I like to say that

I? you're seeing me,

you're having the worst

day of your life.

Any Rampart unit,

ambulance to 11 Rampart

on Second Avenue.

Victim, female, white.

Unknown property taken.

Congratulations.
