* CrimeAfterCrime: [[spoiler: Paired with RevealingCoverUp. These are the motivations of corrupt vice detectives Don Ellis and Kevin Long, who have been using their positions to run a prostitution entrapment ring: they have prostitutes entrap wealthy men in compromising positions, take video and photos of the encounter, and threaten to release them to the public and ruin the men's professional and personal lives unless they pay up. One such victim is Dr. George Schubert, who pays them with jewelry, including a watch, due to not having the cash due to gambling issues. The detectives then sell the jewelry to Paul and Peter Nguyen, who ran a jewelry store that didn't ask too many questions. Eventually, Vince Harrick, an LA County Sheriff's Deputy, buys said watch for his wife, Lexi Parks, an assistant city manager, as a Christmas present. Everything is fine until the watch breaks, and when Lexi calls the brand's service center to get it fixed, she discovers that the watch has been reported stolen (seemingly by Schubert's wife, from whom he concealed his troubles). She calls the Nguyen brothers to get an explanation (as possessing stolen property could put her and her husband in legal trouble), and when they repeatedly give her the run-around, she threatens to open an official inquiry into their business practices. Ellis and Long soon get wind of this and, realizing that any inquiry will eventually lead back to them and their entrapment/extortion scheme, decide they have to get rid of Lexi. However, they also realize that simply murdering her will only bring more questions and investigation unless they serve up a patsy to close the case. To that end, they force their confidential informant James Allen, a male prostitute and drug dealer to collect DNA from his secret lover/client David Foster after a meet-up. They then break into Lexi's home at night, murder her, put Foster's stolen DNA both all over and inside her to frame him as a rapist and murderer, and then murder Allen to both cover their tracks and leave Foster with no way of confirming his alibi (that he was meeting Foster for another rendezvous). When Bosch and Chandler begin digging into the truth, Ellis and Long do everything possible to interfere with their investigation: they perform an unwarranted traffic stop and arrest Honey on false charges in order to get into her files on the case, put a tracker on Bosch's car and follow him all over town, murder the Nguyen brothers and steal and destroy their security footage to cover their tracks again, try cozying up to Maddie to see what she knows, and eventually try to run Bosch off the road. It all comes to a head in a shootout at Dr. Schubert's home between Bosch and the two detectives, in which the doctor is killed, Long is wounded, and Ellis escapes, goes on the run and is eventually killed by Maddie after a final confrontation with her father.]]
