Plot: 1947 - Cole Phelps (Joe Alwyn) arrives home late at night to find his
wife Marie (Katie Findlay) waiting up for him. Marie says that when he
wasn't home by midnight that she called the precinct and they said he
left there at 8:00 PM. Phelps says that he simply went out after work to
blow off some steam with some of the other detectives. Marie comments
that the tax payers will sure be happy to know that LA's finest are
spending all night getting drunk instead of solving mysteries. Phelps
tells Marie that he doesn't want to do this with her and simply wants to
get some sleep. Marie demands answers after she catches a whiff of the
smell of a woman's perfume on Phelps. He becomes agitated as Marie
becomes more aggressive and belligerent on the issue. He yells at her
that he just wants to get some sleep. She goes into the bedroom and
throws a blanket and a pillow at Phelps and yells that he can sleep on
the couch for the foreseeable future. Phelps clutches and raises his
fist. Marie dares him to hit her. He lowers his hand and Marie goes to
sleep in the bedroom, locking the door behind her.
Phelps wakes up after spending the night on the couch. His body is stiff and sore. He goes into the kitchen, but for once there is no breakfast or coffee waiting for him. Phelps quietly gets dressed and heads out to his car. When he gets to the station, Phelps pours himself a tall cup of coffee and parks himself at his desk in the detective's room. His partner, Det. Rusty Galloway (Brent Sexton) jokes that it looks like he's quite the rough night. Phelps says he'd honestly rather not talk about it. Galloway tells Phelps to grab his hat and come with him.
Galloway and Phelps sit at a greasy spoon diner. Galloway orders eggs, potatoes and coffee for Phelps and himself. Phelps mentions the similarities between their last couple of cases and the Black Dahlia/Werewolf Murder case. He says that they seem too similar to ignore a possible connection. Galloway dismisses Phelps' connection, saying they've already arrested the murderers in those cases. Phelps argues that even Galloway didn't think Rooney killed Deidre Moller, and only circumstantial evidence was found against Alonzo Mendez for the murder of Celine Henry. No fingerprints were found matching his at the scene. Galloway scoffs, countering that any killer wearing gloves could avoid that. Galloway says that he doesn't think the murders were committed by the same person even if Mendez and Rooney or Hugo Moller weren't the killers. The city is going to hell in a hand basket and a bunch of sick freaks are copying the Dahlia case to try to get away with murders since that pervert managed to get away. It's copycat syndrome - nothing more. As the food arrives, Phelps says that hopes Galloway is right, but isn't so sure.
While driving back to the station, Phelps and Galloway overhear a call on the radio that there has been a report of a group of men acting suspiciously in a warehouse. Realizing they're just around the corner from the location, Phelps radios in that they can head over. The dispatch informs him that there are two or three GTA suspects with a delivery truck, believed to be stolen. Galloway is annoyed that Phelps picked up the call and takes a swig from his flask.
Frank Morgan (Mark Pellegrino) is at the loading dock of a warehouse, packing crates into the back of a delivery truck. Phelps and Galloway arrive at the warehouse and announce that everyone needs to freeze and show some identification. Morgan runs into the warehouse, and two men come out ready to fight the detectives. Phelps and Galloway subdue and cuff the two men just as Morgan comes running out of the warehouse and gets behind the wheel of the delivery truck. Galloway tells Phelps to chase after while he deals with the two men they subdued. Phelps runs out to the car and gives chase. Morgan recklessly drives the truck, trying to escape Phelps, but ends up crashing into a fountain in a public park. Phelps pulls the driver out of the truck and is surprised to recognize Frank Morgan. Morgan puts his hands up and allows Phelps to cuff him. Phelps opens up the back of the truck and finds that the crates are full of canned fish. Phelps puts Morgan in the back of his car and tells him to say hello to Adrian Black in prison for him.
That night, Phelps drives his car to the Blue Room Jazz Club. He watches the front of the club as Elsa Lichtmann (Diane Kruger) enters the club for her usual set. Phelps sighs and drives away from the club, and parks in front of the Moller residence. Through the windows, he watches as Hugo Moller (Sean Astin) and his daughter Michelle Moller (Caitlin Carmichael) eat dinner together as a family. Hugo notices the car parked out front and pulls the curtains closed. Phelps then drives home. He grabs a dozen roses that he purchased and brings them inside. He gives Marie the roses and sits down on the couch with his two young children. They start jumping around on the couch next to him. Phelps closes his eyes with a slight smile.
