Crews and Reese investigate the murder of a man found sitting in the attic of a roofless house. What they learn is that the man was a con artist who would scam individuals into major home repairs, such as replacing a new roof, and then walk away with their money. As they start to sift through the various people he has scammed, they find that one, a kindly old lady who was bilked out of all of her savings, is the only one who had actually withdrawn her complaint against him. While they don't suspect her of murder, they do take an interest in her son who, it turns out, had an interesting way of dealing with what his mother had to go through. Charlie meanwhile learns more about the Bank of LA robbery from Mickey Rayborn but learns that he disappears later that day and that there are large pools of blood on the man's luxury yacht.
