of your corporate offices.

We're at 11579, Fulton in Century City.

What's this in regards to?

God morning, how you doing?

Good morning.

I have an appointment scheduled

with Most Industries today.

Karl Schuuster?

Yeah, yeah, that's exactly who it is.

I haven't seen him come by yet.

Well, I like to be early

for these types of things.

You know what it's like.

You know what they say, early

bird gets the worm and all that.

Just sign in there for me, please.

Yep.

You can take the elevator, 11th floor.

Appreciate it, thanks.

Most Industries.

One moment, please. Can I help you?

Hi, yeah, good morning.

Uh, I'm here to inquire about

my daughter, Samantha Walker.

Do you recognize her?

Sorry, Most Industries,

how may I direct your call?

You're the girI I spoke with earlier.

One moment, please.

I'm sorry, Mr. Schuuster isn't

meant to be in the office today,

but if you'd like to leave your number,

I'll be glad to let him now you stopped by.

Well, thanks very much.

Is that his office?

- No, sir, you can't go up there.

- Is that his office?

Sir... Excuse me, sir!

Sir, you can't go up there!

Sir! You can't just run upstairs!

So I need all those numbers in

place. You guys cross-check, okay?

You can't go up there!

- What the hell is this?

Sir, excuse me, sir!

Oh, my God. Excuse me.

I'm so sorry, sir.

That's okay, honey. Thanks,

Marissa, it'll be all right.

You're Karl Schuuster?

Uh, yeah, yes, I am.

Um, you got me at a

little disadvantage here.

My name's Lex Walker.

I don't know what's going on here, but let

me just start off with a little apology.

See, I got a terribly hectic

schedule today, I'm gonna be tied up.

In the interest of speeding things up,

what can I do for you?

What are you here for?

You knew my daughter, Samantha Walker?

Hmm... Is that right?

Yeah, she worked for you.

Well, for at least this company anyway.

Well, I understand why you'd think that,

but something you should know is

that I have hundreds of employees

and I guess a pretty large

portion of them I've never met,

and I'm afraid your

daughter is one of them.

Well, gentlemen, you

can leave now. Thank you.

Uh, do me a favor, Saphire should

be sitting right outside that office.

Would you ask him to come in

and show this gentleman down

to human resources, thanks.

And now, Mister, uh, Walker, um,

I've got a webinar presentation.

She was killed over a week ago.

And the body they were gonna

ship back to London wasn't hers.

Your corporate office was one

of the last numbers she called.

Uh, jeez, I'm... I'm...

I'm very sorry to hear about

that, accept my condolences.

I just need some help.

Tell me the last time she was here,

times, dates, anything,

please, I'm begging you.

I'd really love to help you,

but if you came here for

those answers from me,

I'm sorry, again, I really am.

I don't know, this city, it's...

I don't know, it just gets rougher...

It's rotten, especially if you're a pretty,

little blonde, you know? It's just...

I never mentioned the color of her hair.

I'm sorry, uh... Saphire.

Please, just look at her picture.

That's her. It's a

different girI, it's not Sam.

Sorry.

Can you show him

downstairs, please, guys?

All right.

Good luck to you.

Follow me.

Certainly,

sir, just one moment.

Transferring you now.

Most Industries.

One moment, please.

- There's one other thing.

- It's time to leave.

You want to watch that hand,

mate. You might just lose it.

From a proper gent like

you? I don't think so.

Most Industries.

And I'm not asking you again.

I need security to

suite 712 immediately!

Down!

Down! Get on the ground now!

On your knees! Down!

Get your hands behind your back.

I could swear I

just left here an hour ago.

Lieutenant's

been all over my ass.

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.

With all due respect, with Walker

in jaiI, it buys us more time.

For what?

I mean, if the girI was alive,

the easiest way to track her

is through the one man that

wants her as badly as we do.

Now that would be a good

idea, don't you think?

Don't worry, I'm on it.

You're on it, you're on it.

See, here's the thing.

You were responsible for

all this in the first place.

Why in God's name would I let you

go f*** this up over again, why?

We trailed her, from her
