Teaser[]

At the Hollywood station, Edgar arranges dinner with his girlfriend at Mozza before Carl Nash arrives to tell Bosch that, six months prior, he witnessed Tony Allen arguing with another man about money while doing his rounds at Hidden Highlands. He says the guy must have come in with Tony, because there were no visitors registered on the log and that the guy also seemed like he was mobbed up.He agrees to try to identify the man from a six-pack but fails to pick out Rykov. However, he does identify Joey Marks from a second set of pictures and tries to get Bosch to confirm he's a made guy, but Bosch pretends not to know.

That afternoon, Bosch and Edgar arrive in Las Vegas , They discuss the FBI's interest in Rykov and Marks and search for an address that Allen had designated as an office in his tax returns.When they get to the Luxe Apartments, they tell the manager they're checking in on her well-being, because she was involved with a man who was murdered, and he leads them to Layla's apartment. It appears abandoned. Bosch asks the manager if she'd filled out an application when she moved in. The manager says she did, and Bosch says he'll pick it up before he leaves.

Edgar finds the girl's cellphone submerged in a pot filled with dirty dishwater, and Bosch finds an Armenian Bible with a photograph of a young Layla with an older woman.

Outside, Bosch and Edgar go up to one of the escorts arrested with Rykov while she's sunbathing. She admits that Layla disappeared when she heard that Allen was dead. She refers to Allen as Layla's "guardian angel," because Layla had been working in a cathouse before Allen got her out.

At the Olympic Coffee Shop in Los Angeles, George Irving meets with his father to discuss Arceneaux's plans for that night and identifies Mo as Vice detective Maureen O'Grady. Irvin says he knows it must be tough for George to get out from under his shadow, and George says he thinks he has a good shot with his current gig. Irvin expresses his confidence in his son's ability to take down Arceneaux and his associates' operations.

In Las Vegas, Bosch and Edgar visit Layla's previous address, but the brothel madam tells the girls in Armenian to "keep [their] fucking mouths shut" lest she tells Marks, who will "cut out [their] tongues." When Bosch threatens to sit there all day and turn away customers, he woman claims that Layla hasn't worked at the brothel for a couple of years, though another girl claims that Layla--whose real name is Lilliat Saroyan--met a client who fell in love with her. The madame tells the girl to keep her mouth shut, but the girl says the madame should, or she'll tell Marks the woman talked to the police. They continue trading insults as the detectives leave, and Bosch assures Edgar that he'll reach out to Felton to check into the brothel to find out if the women are being trafficked.

A man then tells Bosch not to call the police, and Bosch promises to tear the man's teeth out if he harms Eleanor or Maddie.

At the Clark County jail, Bosch explains to Rykov that Marks has kidnapped Eleanor and Maddie in order to trade them for Lucky.

Then he knocks Tom unconscious, zipties his arms, and takes his handgun. The detectives then head into the house, where Bosch holds Tom at gunpoint. It turns out Tom lied, and when another man (Billy) comes creeping up, Edgar subdues and handcuffs him.

Bosch then assures Felton that if Rykov gives up information on Marks, LVMPD will be his first call.

In the car on the way back to Los Angeles, Rykov denies killing Allen, despite Edgar's insistence that Marks ordered the murder. Rykov further claims that Warren is going to take apart Iverson's search warrant and remains convinced that Bosch planted the gun that he found in Rykov's toilet tank.

At O'Grady's residence, Arceneaux assures George that they didn't kill anyone at the drop house but just shot up the ceiling to get their attention. O'Grady gives George his part of the money. Soon after, Nash arrives, looking and acting a lot more sinister than he did when talking to Bosch. Arceneaux's crew address him as "Cap." He commends George on his performance and promises him that "there's good times ahead." He also claims that George is "the key that's gonna unlock a lot of new doors." George tells Nash that he's just glad to be part of the team, but Nash claims that George must survive "the Iron Rodeo" before that can happen.
