Sanchez (Raymond Cruz) reconstructs the shooting. Gabriel (Corey Reynolds) finds the Vic's partner arrested the suspect Kyle (Aaron Perilo) is a car thief. Deputy Mike Burton (Gino Anthony Pesi) placed him under arrest. Taylor (Robert Gossett) arrives saying it's their case now. Pope (JK Simmons) wants Kyle interviewed by them.
Brenda interviews Kyle alone and you just know something will go wrong. If the rest of the team were given duties by her, Tao (Michaal Paul Chan) was still around and could have sat in on the interview with her, at any rate a uniformed officer could have kept an eye on the suspect when she went out. Thought that was the usual procedure. She asks Kyle if he's a cop killer or if he just got in with the wrong crowd. Also explaining he's equally responsible for the killing and hopes he makes the right choice.
Tao IDs the suspect's prints which match David whose photo is on Kyle's phone. He calls her out of interrogation and finds prints matched three non-criminals. Kyle pulls out a gun which makes you wonder how he smuggled that in. Even if he was searched by Burton, wasn't he meant to have been searched again when he entered the building. Buzz (Phillip P Keene) also conveniently leaves the camera unattended, why all the mistakes this episode? Buzz comes up behind Brenda and saves her by stopping her from re-entering the room.
Kyle shoots himself adding, "this was meant for Dave." Brenda says it was her responsibility to ensure he was properly searched. Provenza (GW Bailey) calls to say he's found the Honda. Tao can't leave until he's interviewed by FID. Brenda thanks Buzz for saving he rife, "now let's see if you can act." Well he acted just fine in the previous episode when he filmed the suspect.
Taylor doesn't believe she did anything wrong, "cop killer shot himself, one down, one to go." Pope commends Buzz for his action. Raydor (Mary McDonnell) asks if she's okay as she nearly died. Brenda tells her she was alone and Buzz responds he was the one who knocked on the door to pull her out. Raydor can resume investigating the incident and has 72 hours within which she has to file a report. Brenda wants Burton, who was meant to have been taken into custody.
Provenza thinks new rules will come into play now to search suspects and Gabriel's fine with that. Tao finds David's prints in the car. Provenza says they should search his house and they don't need a warrant as it's a fresh pursuit. Burton is missing and appears to be looking for David. Brenda specifically asked Taylor to keep an eye on him and he's found at David's house, with David a DB. Provenza thinks he could have shot him with his own gun.
Goldman already knows about the incident with Brenda and Gavin should have been told too since Brenda refuses to believe there's a leak in the Division. Gavin thinks he should drop all his clients and represent only her for life. Brenda questions Fritz (Jon Tenney) about the joint task force between the sheriff's office and the FBI and their 'special problems'. They are working on high tech car thieves. Burton applied to join and was turned down along with his partner.
Burton wanted the theft to be investigated all the way leading to the man at the top. Raydor notices Burton admitting responsibility for not searching Kyle properly. Middle men came for the Maserati. Burton and partner followed them and were made. Brenda states David left his own car behind and he knew he'd return for it. Burton claims he was already dead. Brenda exclaims he crossed the line and that's what the rule book is for. Raydor wonders if she knows what she's saying and suggests Fritz should playback this interview for her. The parking lot hasn't been burned.
Gabriel promises Fritz that Brenda will go to the courtroom and listen to the verdict. Sanchez notices the fit woman as the car thieves return for the stolen Aston Martin. Flynn (Tony Denison) finds the cars are being sent to Argentina. Gabriel deduces the refrigerated shipping containers means they can ship cars with computers. Brenda notices the name of the restaurant, 'Recoleta' which is a place in Argentina. Brenda asks Fritz to give the suspects their calls as this will lead to the man at the top. Obviously it had to be the bald guy, Rios (Gonzalo Menendez) since there were no other suspects and they both call him. He escapes with the money and a gun and Brenda sneaks up on him from behind minus her heels.
Judge Gerald Blake finds the crimes committed by Turrell had to have been tried in court but due to a lack of evidence grants the defence motion and dismisses the case. Gavin didn't tell her about this as she would have told the leak. They toast Gavin. Think his services will be required again. Brenda thanks Raydor for standing by her. Pope wants her to talk to someone without losing her temper. Had to be that weasel Goldman who is just out to make a name for himself in bringing down a Deputy Chief. He doesn't care about justice. Pope wants her to get more info out of him.
He's filed a new Federal case. Lawsuits involving the son of the Russian crime boss who died the night he was revealed as an informant and was released from her custody. Stimple hanged himself in custody. A policeman was murdered in jail. Brenda shakes as he carries on. Accusing her of civil rights violations and all are going to pay, including the LAPD and the city. Brenda thinks he has a personal vendetta. He tells her she's never met him and he's going to "put an end to all your works." That's his intention.
Does this mean the work of the leak extends beyond just reporting what's happening in Major Crimes and extends all the way to info being leaked to criminals too. So as one door closes for Brenda concerning Turrell, another one opens relating to the deaths of other criminals. How can she be responsible for those? Whatever happened was out of her hands but clearly this is just for her to make her exit at the end of the season as probably all this will get too much for her. Which explains the title of this episode, not only uttered by Provenza, but also the whole other can of worms being opened up by Goldman. Oh someone take care him and put him out of his misery and us too! Ha.
Brenda: "right over the line that we never, ever supposed to cross. The Justice System works pretty well until someone starts thinking that they're smarter than the Sheriff's office, the FBI and the entire LAPD. Do you see what happens when you throw away the rule book...people die."
The Russian mob boss referred to, as far as I can recall, was in 1.3 The Big Picture where Stana Katic made an appearance as a prostitute pre-Castle days. The episode with Stimple was 3.4 Ruby, where the team investigated the rape and murder of a black girl, which Gabriel found to be particularly reprehensible. He beat a confession out of him and put his career on the line. Stimple hanged himself, saving Gabriel from a trial, but Gabriel admitted his actions and was suspended without pay.
Gino Anthony Pisi was Klaus's witch in the Vampire Diaries. As well as being in Cold Case, NCIS, NCIS: Los Angeles, The Mentalist etc.
