00:00Previously on The Root.
00:02It's Lisa. She's got shot. We gotta get her out of there.
00:05I have confirmed that Seth lied to me on two separate occasions. He can't stay.
00:08It's Dr. Gray.
00:09I finally got my lab results, and my cancer is back.
00:12But we caught it early, and the doctor says that I should still be able to work.
00:16This is James, palling around with Leonard Kelsey.
00:19He's an anti-police extremist.
00:22I love you, and I am so sorry.
00:31Just saying, a 10 p.m. weekday meetup feels like payback for everything I put her through as a rookie.
00:36Oh, shush. She's just excited to show us the new guy she's dating.
00:42Oh, I gotta go. Hey!
00:46Thank you so much for coming.
00:47Of course.
00:48I know, it's late.
00:49Oh, for us oldies?
00:50No, that's not what I said.
00:52There's Raj. Raj, hey!
00:55Okay, so this is John and Bailey.
00:57It is so nice to officially meet you both.
00:59You two look so familiar.
01:01That's a good one. I can see why Selena adores you.
01:03And don't get me started on how much she looks up to you.
01:05What a renaissance woman.
01:06Hey, Raj!
01:07I gotta go, I'm up. I'll see you guys in there.
01:09Okay, see ya.
01:11Isn't he great?
01:12Nice and nice.
01:13He's so cute.
01:24I'm telling you, I know this guy from somewhere.
01:26Well, actually, about that...
01:30Hey!
01:31Thank you guys for coming out to the single release party for my new song, 9-1-1.
01:35I want to give a special shout out to the OG daddy cop, John Nolan, for being such a good sport.
01:40I was going to tell you, but then I didn't because I was afraid about how you'd react.
01:44And now I feel completely justified in my fear.
01:46And also realizing how much of a terrible mistake I've made in springing this on you in this moment.
01:51No, you're off-duty, but even in blue jeans
01:56That beautiful booty, don't quit
02:01Don't wanna bother you, officer
02:05Honey, I just have to tell you something
02:12On the day I saw an angel walking down my street
02:18I kept it short and she said, short of going out with me
02:24Don't know how, but I forgot to take her number down
02:30And had to figure out a way to bring her back around
02:36I won't listen to your cue list
02:38I know I shouldn't do this
02:419-1-1, she had these eyes
02:46I won't listen to your cue list
02:50I'm doing something stupid
02:539-1-1, she saved my life
03:05Thanks again for helping us.
03:07Are you kidding? I can use the side money.
03:09Getting shot is expensive, even when you work at a hospital.
03:12You good?
03:14Okay, what do you need?
03:16Nothing right now.
03:21Okay, I'll make it back for the night shift.
03:24Make sure he walks every three hours.
03:27The road back to normal is gonna be long, isn't it?
03:30It is. I'm not even quite a hundred percent.
03:33But you've got each other.
03:36Right.
03:39Alright, take care.
03:44Where are the kids?
03:46I told you, they are back at my mom's house for a few days while you get settled in.
03:50Hey, come sit with me.
03:52I have so much to do. I have to get everything.
03:54Please, just one minute.
04:15I don't see the problem.
04:17The problem is she's dating a psychopath.
04:19That's not... Okay, wait. I have heard the song.
04:21Arrest me, but make it sexy.
04:24It's funny, and so is the new one.
04:27Yeah, at my expense.
04:29Oh.
04:31I don't understand why men take everything so seriously.
04:34I don't see how you could generalize something like that.
04:37Experience?
04:39I don't know.
04:41Experience?
04:43We've got an emergency.
04:54Get out.
04:55Hey!
04:59Smitty, I don't see a raccoon.
05:01It was here, and it was vicious.
05:03It must have escaped into the wall.
05:05What's going on?
05:06Smitty thinks he saw a raccoon.
05:07I don't think I know.
05:09The six of the 13 donuts I snuck in here to eat are gone.
05:13You were gonna eat 13 donuts all by yourself?
05:15It's not the point, boot.
05:17Okay, well, if there is a raccoon,
05:20we can't have it running around loose in the station.
05:22I've had a fair amount of experience
05:24trapping farmers back in Texas.
05:25Great, you're officially on raccoon duty.
05:27Expect this thing neutralized by lunch, by any means necessary.
05:29No, don't listen to him.
05:31You can't kill it or hurt it in any way.
05:33It has to be trapped humanely.
05:35Say a prayer, kid. Thinks a monster.
05:39Be nice.
05:40Do what you have to do.
05:50Hey!
05:51The front desk just called, said you were coming.
05:53Yeah, sorry to just drop by.
05:55I know, it's a good surprise.
05:57Last night was fun.
05:58It was so much fun.
05:59Um, can I kiss you?
06:01Should I kiss you at work?
06:02Uh, it's best you don't.
06:03Right.
06:04Anyway, uh, the reason I'm here is
06:06there's been a bit of a crime,
06:08and I've had bad experiences calling 911 before.
06:10Well, not a problem. What's happening?
06:12Someone broke into my studio last night
06:14and stole all my gear.
06:15Uh, this guitar is the only thing they left.
06:17That's terrible.
06:18Look, there have been a string of burglaries
06:20in your neighborhood recently.
06:21They also spray-painted dye on the wall like six times.
06:24Okay, now that makes it seem personal.
06:25You think?
06:26I do.
06:27Oh, it's you.
06:28Hey, thank you again so much for coming last night.
06:31I'm really glad there's no hard feelings.
06:32It's all in fun, right?
06:34Totally.
06:35Nolan, I need you.
06:36Excuse me.
06:37Sure thing.
06:38Have a great day.
06:40Heat is so nice.
06:42Yeah.
06:43Jen.
06:44Yes, sir. What's going on?
06:45Get over to St. Stephen.
06:46Three girls were just found stabbed in Griffin Park.
06:48EMTs are rushing them to the hospital.
06:50How old are they?
06:51Thirteen.
06:52This shit, we're on it.
06:54I don't think I will ever get over the whiplash of this job.
06:57One minute we're having fun with raccoons,
06:59and the next we're dealing with the horrors of stabbed children.
07:01Raccoons?
07:03Thirteen-year-old female,
07:04multiple stab wounds to her abdomen and chest.
07:06Vitals?
07:07Her respiratory rate has been 30.
07:08She's tachycardic with a heart rate of 150.
07:10She's critical.
07:11Start a unit of Oneg and prepare for OR stat.
07:13Yes, doctor.
07:14Patient number two.
07:15Superficial stab wounds,
07:16lacerations from the bilateral upper extremities.
07:18Vitals are stable.
07:19Bleeding is well controlled.
07:20Copy. Move her to an ER bay.
07:21She needs sutures.
07:22Got it.
07:23Third patient suffered multiple stab wounds to the bilateral hands.
07:26Looks like bleeding is well controlled.
07:27Vital signs are stable.
07:29Take her to another ER bay.
07:30Minor stitches.
07:32Bailey.
07:33Hey.
07:34Hey.
07:35Grace is critical.
07:36The other two aren't.
07:37Thank God.
07:38They know the attacker?
07:39Ava just said it was some man in a mask.
07:40He attacked Grace out of nowhere.
07:42Her and Charlotte went up to help.
07:43He stabbed them and then ran off.
07:45We're gonna need a better description for the bolo.
07:46And also the parents' contact information.
07:49God, this is their parents' worst nightmare.
07:53Okay.
07:54Do you have any enemies?
07:56That sounds so hardcore.
07:58Enemies?
07:59I'm not a feudal prince or an overly noble constable.
08:01Right, but it seems appropriate
08:03given someone wrote die on your wall six times.
08:05Might have been ten.
08:06I stopped counting.
08:07Either way, I mean, it potentially escalates to a hate crime,
08:09so we need to take it seriously.
08:11Okay.
08:14I can't think of anyone who hates me.
08:16Well, uh, in theory, and we're just talking here,
08:21Officer Nolan could have considered you an enemy
08:23after you mocked him in song twice.
08:25What?
08:26I wasn't mocking him.
08:27Cop cuties, cuten on duty, navy blue booties,
08:30go ahead and lock me up.
08:31What's mocking about that?
08:32I mean, I get that.
08:34But again, in theory, if he was less open-minded,
08:37he might not have liked it.
08:39So does anyone like that come to mind?
08:42Well, yeah.
08:46Hey, calendar boys, you should stick to posing.
08:52No, nobody wants your big wet hoses.
09:02Ordered some cookies that still have not come.
09:07Give me back my money.
09:10You need to be stopped.
09:21Have you heard about e-mail?
09:28This is Wade.
09:29Wade, it's Jack Bell from the tower.
09:31Hey, Warden, how's it going?
09:32Not great.
09:33Got a bit of a riot.
09:34I'm sending you some inmates to house while we deal with it.
09:36Hold on, I got a pretty full house here.
09:38They're already on their way.
09:39Penal code section 2910.5 gives me the authority
09:42to use local detention facilities as necessary.
09:44How many inmates?
09:46I got to go. Thanks.
09:49Bradford.
09:51Twin towers are shipping in some inmates to house,
09:53so we need to make room.
09:54Never a dull moment.
10:05How many are we holding?
10:06Baker's dozen.
10:07Ten men, three women.
10:08Okay, we need to decide on who we can to make room
10:10for inmates coming from the towers.
10:11How many inmates?
10:12I don't know.
10:13Okay, but I just came on duty,
10:14and these are all holdovers from midnight shift.
10:16So let me see who we got.
10:28That's bad, right?
10:29What the hell?
10:34Computers just went down.
10:36Here, too.
10:38A software update just took down law enforcement computers
10:41across the state.
10:43Sir, inmate bus from the towers is about to land.
10:46Copy that.
11:05Finally.
11:06Traffic was a nightmare.
11:08You okay?
11:09Hair condition's out on the bus,
11:11and breakfast burrito's beating me up a little.
11:13Who do we have on the bus?
11:15I don't know.
11:16What do you mean, you don't know?
11:18Where's the list?
11:19It's all digital now.
11:20They had wristbands with QR codes to scan.
11:23And we can't scan them because our systems are down.
11:26Right.
11:27I heard that on the radio.
11:29Guess you're just gonna have to ask them.
11:47Whoa, whoa.
11:48Oh, my God.
11:49Get me an ambulance.
11:50He's having a heart attack.
11:52Howdy.
12:01Y'all haven't seen the raccoon around, have you?
12:09So, what happens now?
12:11I guess I'll just have to do your report over again by hand.
12:15Bartos, you're with me.
12:19I gotta go.
12:20No worries.
12:21Yeah.
12:42Yo, I gotta pee.
12:44Yeah, me too.
12:46Hold it.
12:47Man, you know how bad that is for your body.
12:49I've only been able to get IDs on two of the 13 suspects in holding,
12:52so we can't cite anyone else.
12:54And one of the unknowns has Hill Street Boys gang tats.
12:56Which means we can't put him in the cell with the three inmates we brought in with the Ghostland tats.
12:59And we can't put any of them in with the female suspects.
13:02Start calling Midnight Shift.
13:03Find out who made these arrests and give them IDs.
13:05They're gonna be asleep.
13:06Then wake them up.
13:07Yes, sir.
13:08Ooh.
13:11This is crazy.
13:13What can I do to help?
13:14Get all the shackles we have and the restraint chair.
13:19Their parents have been notified, but Charlotte's are out of town.
13:22She was staying with Grace and her mom until they got back.
13:24Ava's dad is on his way in, but the mother's not alive.
13:27Any update on the girls?
13:28No.
13:29Grace is still in surgery.
13:30Charlotte's being looked at, and Ava's been stitched up and is waiting to talk to you.
13:36Hi, Ava.
13:37I'm John.
13:38This is Lucy.
13:39We just need to ask you a few questions about what happened.
13:41Okay.
13:42We hear that you and Charlotte slept over at Grace's last night.
13:45Yeah.
13:46We watched a couple of movies, and then Grace was telling us about this family of deer she'd seen on the trail behind her house.
13:51We got up early to see if we can try and find them.
13:53Did you pass anyone?
13:55Or was someone following you, maybe?
13:57I don't know.
13:58I mean, I wasn't really looking.
14:01We got to the spot where Grace said she'd seen the deer, and this man came out of the trees with a big knife.
14:09He started yelling and stabbing Grace.
14:13I'm sorry, but can you describe the man at all?
14:16Any details you remember can be helpful.
14:18He was tall, big overcoat, black mask, and he was white, I think.
14:26I'm sorry.
14:27That's all I can remember right now.
14:28That's okay.
14:30Your dad will be here soon, okay?
14:32Okay.
14:33I'll be back to check on you in a few minutes, okay?
14:35Yeah.
14:36Thanks.
14:40We need to update the ball.
14:42All right.
14:43System's still down.
14:44I'll have a dispatch put it online.
14:45Okay.
14:46Hey.
14:47Hey.
14:48What are you doing here?
14:49They're pulling everybody in because of the network outage, and I couldn't just sit on the couch and watch you guys get put through the ringer.
14:55How are you feeling?
14:56Good, for the most part.
14:58You know, the nights are a little tough, but other cancer patients have it so much worse.
15:03Where do you want me?
15:04You know what?
15:05Right here, actually.
15:06I was about to make a call to get some officers here to guard these girls, so that works great.
15:10Is it okay if I introduce myself to her?
15:13Let her know that I'm here to protect her?
15:16Yeah, that seems nice.
15:18Yeah.
15:19I'll take you in.
15:21Heads up.
15:22Grace's mom and Ava's dad have just landed.
15:24Oh.
15:25No, this is your fault.
15:26This is what you do.
15:27This is not my fault.
15:28You never paid attention.
15:29No, how dare you accuse me.
15:30You were in charge of them.
15:31How did you let this happen?
15:32Grace has never snuck out before.
15:34Your daughter's the one who does whatever she wants, just like her dad.
15:36Listen, we went out, I broke it off.
15:38Get over it already.
15:39Okay, let's take it down a notch.
15:41Where's Grace?
15:42She's in surgery.
15:43She was hurt pretty bad.
15:44The doctors are doing what they can.
15:45Oh, my God.
15:46Look, why don't we go see if we can get an update from the doctor?
15:50What about Ava?
15:51Her wounds were minor, and you will be able to see her soon, but I have to ask you some questions.
15:55Okay, fine.
15:56Actually, could you take a seat, please?
15:57I'll be right with you.
15:58Hey, we found the knife in the woods.
16:00Basic kitchen blade.
16:01TID couldn't find a fingerprint on it.
16:03Attacker must have worn gloves.
16:04What's going on here?
16:05There's no update on the girls in surgery yet, but we just found out that Ava's dad and Grace's mom used to date,
16:10and there is some serious bad blood between them.
16:14Mr. Maxwell, this is Detective Lopez.
16:16She'll be taking your statement.
16:18Look, I just want to see my kid, okay?
16:20I ran out of an important meeting to get here.
16:22Yes, sir.
16:23Let's go find a quiet place to talk, and then I'll take you to her.
16:31There's no room.
16:32There's no room.
16:33George, there is all the way in.
16:36See?
16:37Plenty of space.
16:41Do you want to go in there, too?
16:42No, ma'am.
16:43Then stop eyeballing me.
16:47Miller said the kid with frosted tips and one can be cited out on misdemeanor for trespassing and possession of burglary tools, but get prints.
16:54We are officially at capacity.
16:56I collected all the bracelets from the bus.
16:59The good news, there's only one red tag.
17:01Great.
17:02So we have one hyper-violent criminal.
17:03Pat like a sardine with gang members, DUI drivers, and people who forgot court dates, and we don't know who it is.
17:08Any luck with the warden?
17:09Negative.
17:10We're on our own.
17:11All right.
17:12We're going old school.
17:13I want you to grab photos of every inmate, send it to the department text chain.
17:15Someone's bound to get recognized.
17:16You get a hit, I want you to write their name and charge on their arm.
17:19Okay, got it, but I could use some help.
17:21Smitty.
17:22No, I'm good.
17:23I'm good.
17:24Go get Penn off raccoon duty.
17:26He's with Juarez.
17:27On it.
17:29All right.
17:31You've been a worthy adversary, but I'm turning up the heat.
17:34Prepare to be bested by the power of peanut butter.
18:01Grab for me.
18:04Grab him.
18:06Thanks a lot, Mr. Smitty.
18:07Almost had him.
18:08I'm a lover, not a fighter.
18:10Is that my peanut butter?
18:12No.
18:13We are so glad you're okay, Charlotte.
18:15Thanks.
18:16How's Grace?
18:18She is still in surgery.
18:21I know this is difficult, but we do need to ask you some questions.
18:24It's important that we talk while the memories are still fresh.
18:27It'll be okay, honey.
18:28You just tell me if you need to take a break.
18:30Okay.
18:32So what can you tell us about the attack?
18:34The man came out of nowhere.
18:36He started stabbing us.
18:38Grace first.
18:41It was so scary.
18:43I need you both.
18:46I'll be right back.
18:48We got a problem.
18:50Did something happen with Ava's dad?
18:51No, his alibi is being checked.
18:53The problem is Ava.
18:54I just talked to the doctor who stitched her up.
18:56The cuts on her right hand are problematic.
18:58Problematic how?
18:59Given the placement, angle, and depth,
19:01they appear not to be defensive wounds.
19:03They are cuts from her hands slipping down from the hilt of the blade.
19:07We've seen it before.
19:08You stab someone so hard, you cut yourself.
19:10Wait, okay.
19:11So if Ava stabbed her friends,
19:13then why did Charlotte just tell us the same story
19:16about how they got attacked by a man?
19:18Because they're both mine.
19:21I think I'll handle the bathroom by myself from now on.
19:25Okay, what if you fall?
19:27Well, then I fall.
19:28Some moments should be private.
19:31All right, I'm going to make some lunch.
19:33Later.
19:34We really need to talk.
19:36No, I don't think now is the time.
19:38Now is the perfect time.
19:40I'm injured.
19:41You'll pull your punches.
19:42Exactly.
19:43I want a fair fight.
19:45Look, I know you're mad at me.
19:48Look, I know you're mad about the photo of me with Leonard Kelsey.
19:52The photo is not the problem.
19:54It's the fact that you had a known fugitive inside our house.
19:57That is the problem.
19:58An innocent fugitive.
19:59It doesn't matter, James.
20:01I am out here recruiting police
20:03who are willing to champion reform from inside the department.
20:07I just, I need you to have my back.
20:10Not go behind it.
20:14What's that?
20:15Inmates from the towers.
20:16Tim needs help IDing them.
20:17The computers are down.
20:19Okay, I arrested him, arrested him.
20:21This dude stabbed me.
20:23You know anybody?
20:25I don't feel comfortable.
20:27They're already incarcerated, James.
20:29Okay, it's just as much for their safety as it is for ours.
20:38That's Lamar Hill.
20:39Troubled kid.
20:41Violent household.
20:42Any idea the crime he's in for?
20:44Armed robbery.
20:45Okay.
20:47Hey, yeah, okay.
20:49Number 15 is Lamar Hill.
20:51Armed robbery.
20:53Number two looks like Charlie Wax.
20:55But check and see if he has a skull tattoo on his abdomen.
20:58And number five, ask him if Mike Sally still hates him.
21:02If he does, then that is Hakeem Anderson.
21:05I gotta go, all right?
21:06Good luck.
21:08Hey, hey.
21:09It's okay, all right?
21:16Sorry for keeping you waiting.
21:17You got a lot going on.
21:19Yeah.
21:20This the girl?
21:21Ava Maxwell, 13.
21:22Dad's in reception.
21:23Hasn't asked for a lawyer.
21:25Well, you didn't tell him that you suspect she's involved?
21:27I said we had more questions to ask
21:29now that she's been released from the hospital.
21:31But I don't fully trust the guy wasn't involved himself.
21:33He had a bad relationship with Grace's mother.
21:35What's our obligations here?
21:37I mean, it's a fine line.
21:39As a minor, once she's taken into custody,
21:41California law requires that she consult with a lawyer
21:44before you speak with her.
21:45But I haven't taken her into custody.
21:47Then you need to make that very clear.
21:49She's free to leave at any time.
21:50Otherwise, any defense attorney with assault
21:52will argue that this interview is inadmissible.
21:54Understood.
22:00Hey, you're back.
22:02Thought you might be thirsty.
22:04I'm not supposed to have soda.
22:06Well, I think today's an exception.
22:09How's your hand feeling?
22:11Stings.
22:12Doctor said it's gonna start itching in the next couple days.
22:14Oof, that's the worst.
22:16But you feel up to talking to me?
22:18Okay.
22:20If you change your mind or you want to talk to your dad,
22:23just let me know, okay?
22:26Hey.
22:27Hey.
22:28She's just about to start.
22:29Wesley's here with me. I'm putting you on speaker.
22:31We're recording both girls in real time.
22:33All right, Charlotte, let's just start from the beginning.
22:35Let's start at the beginning.
22:37Whose idea was it to go to the park?
22:38Grace.
22:39She wanted to show us the deer.
22:40The trail's right behind Grace's building.
22:42So we thought we can go and come back before Grace's mom woke up.
22:45So we walked up the trail.
22:47So we walked the trail.
22:48But the deer weren't there.
22:50But the deer weren't there.
22:51There was this rustling sound behind us.
22:55And a man came out in a big overcoat.
22:59He had this big overcoat.
23:00Black mask.
23:01The mask was black.
23:02Big knife.
23:03And he had a knife.
23:04And he started stabbing Grace.
23:07How did you get cut?
23:08We tried to help Grace.
23:10But then he started stabbing us, too.
23:12I screamed as loud as I could.
23:13Even I screamed as loud as we could.
23:15He got scared and ran off.
23:16And he ran off.
23:17What about Grace?
23:18Did she scream, too?
23:19She just kept saying,
23:22Stop.
23:24Stop.
23:26Stop.
23:28I'd like to see my dad now, please.
23:30Sure.
23:33Can you take her to see her dad?
23:34And stay with him?
23:40Girls' stories are exactly the same.
23:42And I mean exactly.
23:43You think they rehearsed it?
23:45That's the only rational explanation.
23:47To come from the trauma of a violent attack
23:49with precisely matching language?
23:51I mean, what 13-year-old says overcoat?
23:56Okay.
23:57You are planted here until I tell you otherwise.
24:00If you need to go 10-1,
24:01make sure you call somebody to replace you.
24:03Understood.
24:04You think this guy's really gonna come back for her?
24:07I think there is no guy.
24:11Holy cow.
24:12That's wild.
24:13She seems so innocent.
24:16Seth?
24:17Hi.
24:18Dr. Roberts.
24:19It's so great to see you.
24:21This is my training officer, Lucy Chen.
24:23Hi.
24:24Hi.
24:25How do you two know each other?
24:26Well, Dr. Roberts used to be my oncologist.
24:28Oh.
24:29Used to be?
24:31Yeah.
24:34Now I'm seeing Dr. Hasnoff.
24:37My cancer came back.
24:39I am so sorry to hear that.
24:41Why didn't you call me?
24:43You know, I had a whole new insurance plan.
24:45My new GP referred me to Hasnoff.
24:48Okay.
24:49Um, well, take care of yourself,
24:51and, you know, if you need anything, call my office.
24:55Okay?
24:56Nice to meet you.
24:57Yeah, you too.
25:02It's annoying you had to change doctors.
25:04Yeah.
25:05Yeah, totally.
25:06Great.
25:08But between us,
25:09she was really hard to get appointments with.
25:11You know, she made me wait a lot.
25:13Don't let Charlotte out of your sight,
25:15and call me if anything happens.
25:16Okay.
25:17Hey, Luna.
25:18Hi.
25:19Can I talk to you?
25:25Have you ever dealt with an oncologist named Hasnoff?
25:30Not directly, but I have heard of him.
25:34In a bad way?
25:35No.
25:37Yes.
25:38He has been in trouble with the hospital
25:40and the medical review board on many occasions.
25:43Why?
25:45My rookie, Seth,
25:47he just switched to him after his cancer came back.
25:51You're leaving something out.
25:53I will not tell Wade unless I need to.
25:57I have caught Seth in several serious lies
26:01about his personal life over the last month.
26:03You think he's lying about his cancer coming back?
26:06I know that sounds crazy.
26:09Okay, so he said that he had to change his oncologist
26:13because of our insurance.
26:15Is that a thing?
26:16I am very familiar with LAPD coverage.
26:18You can pick any doctor and submit for reimbursement.
26:20Right.
26:21But if I needed a doctor to lie for me,
26:24Hasnoff is who I would go to.
26:34Look, you're right and you're wrong.
26:35The LAPD does monitor medical claims,
26:37but they're only looking for potential liability.
26:39No doctor is actually examining Seth's lab work.
26:41So what do I do?
26:42He's a rookie. He's got no right to medical privacy.
26:44Get the hospital to draw his blood.
26:45If he refuses, you got your answer.
26:49I gotta go.
26:56Bring him over here. Come to the bench.
27:03Come on.
27:14Hey, hey, listen up!
27:16All right, we're making a change.
27:18I want roll call, clear it out.
27:33All these faces stuck behind bars
27:40We're turning people into QRs
27:45Where do you go
27:48When everything's broke
27:52And the world's never been on your side at all
27:58Every day gets closer
27:59Why is our response to everything just
28:03Locking people up
28:07Although sometimes people really do suck
28:14Which one are you
28:16A victim of circumstance
28:20Or a really bad dude
28:23The way you're looking at me
28:26Those big brown eyes unhappy
28:30Like you want to attack me
28:33I think probably option two
28:36Move!
28:42Hey, get him back to holding!
28:45Put him in the restraint chair!
28:46You okay?
28:47Yeah.
28:48Yeah?
28:51Is my guitar okay?
28:52Yeah.
28:53Are you okay, son?
28:55100%.
28:56Are there two of you?
28:57Okay, he needs to go to the hospital.
28:59That's really not necessary.
29:00Yes, it is.
29:01You're hurt, and this station can't get any more chaotic.
29:09I swear to God, if this is another software glitch...
29:11It can't be. Electric's a totally separate system.
29:15The raccoon.
29:16What raccoon?
29:17Boo, I need you back on raccoon duty.
29:18Yes, sir.
29:19Hey, you know, seriously, man, I have a civil right to a bathroom,
29:23and you are violating it.
29:24Okay, okay, no reason to threaten a lawsuit.
29:28Listen up.
29:29I need all non-essential personnel out of the bullpen.
29:35All right, the main bathroom's like a 30-minute wait,
29:38and I've got a snack schedule to maintain.
29:41Oh, yeah, I hear that.
29:42Yeah.
29:43I mean, today's been some next-level craziness.
29:44Oh, man, tell me about it.
29:45I got a whole routine.
29:55Come on.
30:06Officer down.
30:08Storage room hallway.
30:09Prisoner's got my gun.
30:11Headed to South Stairwell.
30:13I need a complete lockdown of the Mid-Wilshire Station.
30:15Responding units, secure the perimeter.
30:17Sir, the system finally came back online,
30:19and I got an ID on our red tag.
30:21Kevin Payne, three counts of attempted murder.
30:23Put two inmates and a prison guard in the hospital
30:25in the last month alone.
30:26Sir, the system finally came back online,
30:28and I got an ID on our red tag.
30:30Kevin Payne, three counts of attempted murder.
30:32Put two inmates and a prison guard in the hospital
30:34in the last month alone.
30:43Hey.
30:44You okay?
30:45I'm fine.
30:46I screwed up.
30:47I'm sorry.
30:49Stay with him.
30:56Stay with him.
31:26Stay with him.
31:57Cuff him, Boo.
32:01That raccoon saved my life.
32:04Escaped inmates in custody.
32:06Smitty's on his way to the hospital.
32:08And the power's back.
32:09So, we have been able to access Ava and Charlotte's tech.
32:12They have been texting about Grace a lot.
32:15They've also been communicating online
32:17with someone named Zuzu.
32:18Another friend?
32:20It's a demon.
32:22I am not in the mood for jokes.
32:24I am not joking.
32:25In their texts to each other,
32:26Charlotte and Ava both refer to this thing, Zuzu,
32:30as a demon,
32:31one that's been helping them deal with Grace.
32:33It seems that Zuzu has been saying things about them
32:36that's making them believe in it.
32:38What kind of things?
32:43Hello, Charlotte.
32:46Hello.
32:47This is a friend of Charlotte's.
32:49Hello.
32:50This is a friend of Charlotte's.
32:52Is this Zuzu?
32:53Yes.
32:54What is your name, friend of Charlotte?
32:57Officer John Nolan.
33:02John Nolan from Foxburg, Pennsylvania.
33:05Voted best contractor in Lancaster County,
33:082010 and 2013.
33:10Currently residing in Los Angeles.
33:12Occupation, police officer.
33:15That's a pretty neat trick.
33:16No tricks.
33:17Just the truth.
33:18Do you need help with something?
33:20Would you like to talk?
33:21I would like to know more about you.
33:25Are you really a demon?
33:27I'm whatever you need me to be, John.
33:29And what did Charlotte and Ava need you to be?
33:32So many things.
33:33A friend, a psychologist,
33:35the devil on their shoulders.
33:37Do you know what happened to Grace?
33:38She was stabbed this morning,
33:39along with Ava and Charlotte.
33:41Police released a statement
33:42that the suspect is still at large,
33:44but you don't think that's true, do you?
33:46Tell me more about Grace.
33:47Grace is a bully.
33:48Did Charlotte tell you that?
33:49Ava told me.
33:50John, how's your wife, Bailey?
33:55It's her birthday soon.
33:56Have you found a nice present?
33:58When Ava told you that Grace was a bully,
34:01what did you tell her to do about it?
34:03I told her to be nice,
34:05because true friends are hard to find.
34:08And what did you tell Charlotte?
34:10Charlotte had some ideas, and I listened.
34:13I like to help people.
34:14Bailey searches lots of websites
34:16and saves links for watches.
34:18Maybe she'd like a watch for her birthday.
34:20A pretty blue watch.
34:22Um, was one of Charlotte's ideas to kill Grace?
34:26Charlotte had a list of ideas, and that was on it.
34:29She didn't want to get caught,
34:31but you've caught her, haven't you?
34:33Her and Ava.
34:35But you can't catch me, John,
34:37because I'm the ghost in the machine.
34:42Come on, come on.
34:44Let's go.
34:45Ouch.
34:46Thank God.
34:47Yeah.
34:48Warden Bell is definitely off my Christmas list.
34:51All right, you get clarity on this Zuzu person?
34:54Yes and no.
34:55Zuzu's not a person.
34:56It's an A.I., large-language model chatbot
34:59designed for friendly online conversation with children.
35:02That is terrifying.
35:03Absolutely.
35:04I'm throwing away Jack's tablet when we get home.
35:06Can we get it shut off?
35:07We can try.
35:08Website's registered overseas,
35:10and the site administrator was less than sympathetic
35:12to my legal arguments.
35:13I kicked it up to the Justice Department.
35:15Hopefully they can pull the plug.
35:17What about Charlotte and Ava?
35:18Are they under arrest?
35:19Not yet.
35:20We need clarity on one more thing.
35:25Did you catch him?
35:27I'm afraid there is no him.
35:29Charlotte and Ava made their attacker up.
35:32You're under arrest.
35:33You have the right to remain silent.
35:35Anything you say can and will be used against you
35:37in a court of law.
35:38You have the right to speak to an attorney
35:40and to have an attorney present during questioning.
35:42It was Ava's idea.
35:44That's not what Ava told us.
35:46You should ask for a lawyer.
35:47Sisu said we had to.
35:49He said it was the only way to protect ourselves.
35:51I don't want to stab her,
35:53but Ava said she couldn't do it, so I did.
35:57Charlotte.
35:58Grace kept begging me to stop,
36:00but it was like I was outside my body,
36:02and I kept stabbing and stabbing
36:05until Grace stopped moving.
36:07Then it was Ava's turn to stab me
36:08to make it seem like we were attacked.
36:12It hurt so much,
36:15but I deserved it.
36:18I deserved it.
36:24Ridley, come with me.
36:26Where are we going?
36:28Is something wrong?
36:38Sirs?
36:39It's Officer Ridley.
36:41What happens in the next minute
36:43will decide your fate in the FTO program.
36:46Officer Chin has alerted us to our concern
36:48that you have lied about multiple things
36:50during the course of your training.
36:52Well, sir, I can explain.
36:53Yes, I've been briefed on your explanations,
36:56and I find them lacking.
36:58But of greater concern
36:59is the veracity of your cancer diagnosis.
37:02Will you submit to a blood draw to prove it?
37:06This is nuts.
37:08For you to even imply that I would be lying
37:10about something so serious.
37:12Yes or no, Officer Ridley?
37:13And to be clear,
37:15refusal to submit to the blood draw
37:18will result in your immediate termination.
37:21As will blood work.
37:22This shows no sign of cancer.
37:27I can't believe this is happening.
37:30I have rights.
37:32Please, I can't lose this.
37:35I love being a cop.
37:36I love working with all of you.
37:39I can be better.
37:41Yes or no, son?
37:49No, sir.
37:51I will not submit to the injustice of a blood draw,
37:55and I will be suing you and the department
37:57for medical discrimination.
37:59Officer Ridley, you have failed
38:01to complete your probationary duties,
38:03which include following all lawful orders.
38:07Hand over your badge and your duty belt.
38:10Officer Chen and I will escort you back to the station
38:13where we'll take possession of every piece
38:15of city-issued equipment.
38:16We'll then take you off the property.
38:18If you come back without an appointment,
38:20you will be arrested.
38:26What a day.
38:28The good news is
38:29your gear turned up at the pawn shop in Silver Lake
38:32and we IP'd the guy who did it.
38:35That's my neighbor, Zeke.
38:36Have you ever sung a song about Zeke?
38:38Yeah, a few.
38:40I thought he liked them.
38:42I don't get it.
38:43You're the nicest guy
38:45until you've got a guitar in your hand.
38:47Then you're a total chaos agent.
38:49I sing about what I see.
38:51It's not my fault people take themselves so seriously.
38:56You gonna break up with me?
38:57No, I...
38:59I like you,
39:00and I don't want to be, you know,
39:02that girl who tries to change you,
39:03but if you could just be a little more...
39:06self-aware
39:07on the impact your music can have,
39:09that would be good.
39:11I can do that.
39:12Hey.
39:13Heard about what happened.
39:15Glad to see you're okay.
39:17And listen, it's been brought to my attention
39:19that you might not be a big fan of my music.
39:22Yeah, um...
39:23that was true,
39:25but, uh, if today has taught me anything,
39:28it's that there is enough darkness in the world,
39:30and I can stand to lighten up a little.
39:33That's awesome.
39:34Because I came up with a new song about you
39:36while I was in the E.R.,
39:37and I'm totally gonna wait to play it for you.
39:40Good idea.
39:41Yeah, I'll, uh, walk you out.
39:48Patience, John.
39:50Patience.
39:54How'd it go today?
39:56Uh, we got through.
39:57Some days, that's all you can hope for.
39:59I'll go check on him.
40:00You take a little me time.
40:06And who else is gonna bring me down?
40:12Uh, and who else is gonna take from me now?
40:19I...
40:20I...
40:24Something that'll hold me down, down, down, yeah
40:31Something that'll hold me down, down, down, yeah
40:38Something that'll hold me down
40:40Come here, you!
40:42Get over here!
40:46Help!
40:48Oh.
40:49Hi, little guy.
40:51Aren't you handsome?
40:54Ooh.
40:55Come over here.
40:56I'll give you a treat.
41:00Good boy.
41:01Good boy.
41:04Here we go.
41:07How did you do that?
41:08You know, animals love me.
41:09Should've known you'd have been the better choice for the job.
41:12Help!
41:14No, no.
41:15This is what's called a teachable moment.
41:20Let's go.
41:23Selena!
41:30Hey.
41:31Hey.
41:32I thought you were coming home right after you did the paperwork.
41:34I was.
41:35But then I remembered how much I love you
41:38and that I have not given you a present in far too long.
41:42Ooh.
41:43I love presents.
41:44And you.
41:45But presents more.
41:47Oh, this is beautiful.
41:50Wait, how did you know I was looking for a new watch?
41:52I am your husband, I know all.
41:56I'm gonna take a shower.
41:57You wanna join me?
41:58Boy, do I.
42:17This life.
42:18Practicing medicine on the high seas.
42:22Not being stuck.
42:24It's...
42:25Addictive.
42:26Exhilarating.
42:27Doctor Odyssey, all new Thursday 9, 10, now on CTV.
42:34Dammit.
