Explicații IMDb: Detective Renée Ballard runs a rag-tag LAPD team, investigating cold cases. Her main focus is a 24-year-old case, the murder of the sister of a now-Congressman (hence the focus).
Explicații TMDb: Ballard reopens a mysterious John Doe case while pursuing justice for a councilman's murdered sister. As she navigates reluctant witnesses, department politics, and her own demons, Ballard and her team uncover buried secrets that suggest corruption within the police force.
Explicații Wikipedia: The episode begins, at night, with Detective Renée Ballard and her partner, Thomas Laffont, pursuing a suspect. Ballard chases the suspect into a dry cleaners where the suspect opens fire at her, forcing her to shoot back. Ballard is able to catch and arrest him just before Laffont arrives. The next day, her partner tells her OIS asked questions in his interview on the shooting that suggest they want her fired. At work that day, she reviews a John Doe case and is accosted by councilman Jake Pearlman for not making progress investigating the murder of his sister, Sarah Pearlman. In the John Doe case Ballard reaches out to the detective, Samira Parker, who initially investigated it. Parker tells her that the LAPD covered up an altercation at the motel where the victim was last seen alive. Ballard invites the detective to join her unit as a volunteer, and she does, showing up at the office the next day and meeting the other members of the task force, reserve officer Ted Rawls, law student Martina Castro, volunteer and stay-at-home mom Colleen Hatteras, and Laffont. The team is given a piece of evidence from the councilman's sister's case, which Ballard has tested for DNA. Afterward, she returns home to her grandmother and discusses her personal problems, including an incident which occurred the previous year. The next day, Parker reinvestigates the motel but finds nothing, and RHD is informed about this. At work, Ballard finds the eccentricities of Hatteras may interfere with the case, and Parker tells her she doesn't want to continue investigating. Shortly after, Ballard is informed that DNA was found on a handprint at the scene of Sarah Pearlman's murder. Ballard then attempts to procure the DNA of the main suspect in the case, Brian Richmond, Sarah's ex-boyfriend, but fails. Detective Olivas from RHD (who has history with Ballard) arrives to speak with Parker who was his former partner. He tells them that a woman had called RHD asking for Samira but hung up when he told her Samira no longer worked there. Olivas goes as far as offer to help out with the case. Ballard turns him down and reprimands him, insisting that Olivas call instead next time. Later, Ballard tries to get Parker to permanently join her unit, admitting she was assigned to cold cases after being harassed by Olivas and calling him out. She persuades Parker to join by revealing that she decided to take the John Doe case because Olivas couldn't solve it. The next day, Parker arrives at the motel and finds a cleaning woman there was killed. Ballard, meanwhile, is informed that the DNA from the scene of Sarah Pearlman's murder was a match to DNA found in another cold case, the murder of Laura Wilson in 2008. When Ballard checks the murder book of that case, she finds it was investigated by Harry Bosch.
