Next door, Flaco and his wife Beatriz are speaking with Lisbon. Merriman once again shows his disgusting colors with his cavalier regard for his history of violence against women. Tensions begin to build up, although Lisbon is able to get between them - but then Jane strolls through, and makes it explode with just the right words in Merriman’s ear. With new information that Charlotte had been in the venue an hour before the fight began, they decide to bring in both of the fighters. They exchange information Jane points out the opposing fighter’s ‘tell’ and Benton hints there may be more to Manny Flaco than is meeting the eye.ĭawn May claims to have given the gun to her cousin Bobby who was killed in Iraq, so that is a dead end. Jane wanders away to talk to Floyd Benton, a trailer who used to work with Merriman. They ask about fight fixing, which Artash vehemently claims does not happen. With that interview cut short, they head to the gym where the fighters are training. Jane has a look around the office, and while Lisbon is getting Tom a glass of water, he collapses with a major cardiac arrest. They take a look around her home office, and they take the notebooks she had been filling with notes for the book into custody. Lisbon and Jane go to Tom Mitchell’s, Charlotte’s dad. He says he had given the gun to a lady friend of his that he hasn’t seen since his arrest, Dawn May. Like so many, he has found religion behind bars. Naturally, they follow up that lead, going to find Joe Reyes who is leading a church service. He doesn’t seem too bothered that Charlotte is dead, and inquires if she was raped as well, because “she was kind of hot.” The gun used to kill Charlotte was also used in a murder in 2001, committed by Joe Reyes, and never recovered.
Flaco’s manager, Len Artash, is quick to deny involvement, and Merriman is focused on other things. The victim is Charlotte Mitchell, a plucky little author who was writing a book about the fight and its contenders, Rowdy Merriman and Manny Flaco, who came out of the fight victorious. Rigsby is attending a mixed martial arts while a murder is occurring backstage. Meanwhile, LaRoche focuses his investigation on Rigsby, who in turn is forced to ask Cho for a huge favor in order to keep his job.
