Started talking about this incident that

0:03

you witnessed it. Start

0:06

telling me that there was a cover

0:08

up, drugs and the officials

0:11

cover up.

0:13

It.

0:13

Couldn't believe it.

0:15

From iHeart podcasts.

0:16

It's like the police knew. It's

0:19

like they knew who he was before

0:21

they got here.

0:23

A story about money, power and corruption

0:26

at the places we should trust the most.

0:29

The Medical School of Dean at USC

0:31

was leading a secret double life.

0:35

Yes, absolutely breathing, I'm

0:37

a doctor.

0:37

Actually, like, there's no way that

0:40

that guy's a doctor.

0:42

I'm Paul Pringle and I'm an investigative

0:44

reporter for the La Times.

0:46

Harriet's it's not someone who's rattled,

0:49

but there was something about the call that rattled

0:52

her.

0:52

This is the story of an investigation that

0:55

starts in a hotel room in Pasadena,

0:57

California. It reaches all the

0:59

way to the top with two of the most powerful institutions

1:02

in the city of Los Angeles.

1:03

When people fall in line, they fall in line.

1:06

Only a month or two after the investigation

1:09

began, I received some strange

1:11

visitors at my house.

1:13

Hey, how did you find this out?

1:15

How did you link us together? There are actually

1:17

several instances that looking back, I realized,

1:19

oh, everyone knew.

1:22

This is Fallen Angels, a

1:24

Story of California Corruption.

1:26

As an investigative report, every story

1:28

could be all lost. I had to get this story published

1:31

otherwise it would just betray blind a journalist

1:33

in the first place.

1:34

It's just like real aggressively, let's

1:36

go, let's get to the bottom of this.

1:37

Hey man, I've given you everything

1:39

I could possibly give you.

1:41

We're always going to have predators. It's

1:44

the good people who stand by and do nothing that allow

1:46

them to flourish.
