Ballard - Haystacks

While continuing to piss-off others within the department, Ballard (Maggie Q) makes headway on the case of the dead cleaning woman (stepping on the toes of the detective not paying attention to the case) which she closes by tracking down the homeless man who shot her earning a small victory and uncovering evidence of a police cover-up. In terms of the other linked cases, the leading suspect in the death of the councilman's (Noah Bean) sister is ruled out for his airtight alibi for the second murder. However, Ballard poking around that case does lead her to receive a visit from Harry Bosch (Titus Welliver) who offers a few words of advice and teases more potential help further down the line. It's an incrimental step to solving the larger mysteries at play, but a solid step nonetheless.
