00:00Hey.
00:11Hi, so here's what I'm thinking.
00:13It's April Fool's Day, which means nothing counts, right?
00:16April Fool's is tomorrow.
00:17It's 12.01.
00:18And if we play our cards right, we can use April Fool's Day as a hall pass.
00:22We're not actually together, but we can pretend we're together,
00:25as an April Fool's Day prank, just for today.
00:28And if anybody raises a flag, we'll say,
00:31surprise, it's an April Fool's joke,
00:33and everyone will laugh, and we can...
00:35Uh-huh.
00:37Okay, wow.
00:38I've clearly been doing April Fool's wrong my whole life,
00:41so we're not actually together,
00:43but we're making out in secret like we are together,
00:45so what's the prank?
00:46Do you want to talk about April Fool's Day,
00:47or do you want to take your pants off?
00:58Oh, you get my email?
01:01You mean the one with the subject Ben Dover case?
01:03Yeah, not the most original April Fool's joke.
01:05It's not a joke.
01:06Dover's a real defendant
01:07who demanded a speedy trial nine days ago.
01:09Peters was handling it until he landed in the hospital
01:11with a severe case of food poisoning.
01:13So you're telling me that I have to go to trial tomorrow
01:15for a murder case I've never heard of
01:16because Ron Peters ate bad paella?
01:18Uh-huh.
01:19And that's not an April Fool's joke?
01:20Mm-hmm.
01:21I hate you.
01:22But this will pass,
01:23and then we'll go back to being besties.
01:24Uh, my wife's my bestie.
01:26Ugh, boring.
01:32Officer Nolan.
01:33Yeah.
01:34I'm your new rookie, Connor Craig.
01:35Oh, ha, nice try.
01:37Yeah, I don't, uh, I don't fall for April Fool's prank.
01:40Uh, no, sir, no, it's, it's not a prank.
01:43I, I just transferred over from West Valley.
01:45I've been training with, uh, Sergeant McAdams the last whole month.
01:47Oh, yeah, it's a good story.
01:49I would have gone with six months
01:51because nobody transfers divisions
01:53with one month left in their probation,
01:54and you should have picked a different T.O.
01:56McAdams is a department legend.
01:58That makes your prank easily disprovable.
02:01Yes, sir.
02:02All valid points if I were joking.
02:07Which I'm not.
02:09He's not joking.
02:10It's a last-minute transfer,
02:11and I forgot to tell you.
02:12My bad.
02:13Mm-hmm.
02:14Mm-hmm.
02:17Do I seem like a fan of tomfoolery off-season?
02:19No, sir, but that could all be part of your master plan.
02:22A five-year-long con to make me believe that you're not into pulling pranks,
02:25just to bring this on me now,
02:27which seems less and less likely now that I explain it.
02:29Exactly.
02:31Rather than looking to get for what's in the mouth,
02:33you should be doing backflips.
02:35Craig's record is exemplary and spotless.
02:38All you have to do is not screw up for the next 30 days,
02:41and you will be credited for turning out the second top-notch rookie.
02:45Yes, sir.
02:46So don't screw up.
02:47He said that already.
02:48Hmm.
02:56How exactly are we pulling this prank off?
02:58Exactly like this?
02:59Just sitting a little closer than we normally are.
03:02Hey, there's no chance Gray is pranking me with this rookie, is there?
03:09No.
03:10No, Gray hates pranks as much as I hate.
03:13Mediocrity?
03:14Subtitles?
03:15The designated hitter?
03:17Reasons?
03:18Are you implying I'm a hateful person?
03:19Yes.
03:20All right.
03:21Today is April Fool's Day,
03:23by far the most annoying day of the year.
03:26So with Officer Penn out for trial prep,
03:29Sergeant Bradford will be your go-to supervisor for the day.
03:32And for the news,
03:35Officer Nolan has a new rookie.
03:37Stand up, state your name and badge number.
03:40Officer Connor Craig, badge number 382610.
03:44Officer Craig trained under legendary Sergeant McAdams
03:47and earned top marks.
03:49But as we know, training isn't over until it's over.
03:52All right.
03:53Let's get to it.
03:54Be safe out there.
03:56I'm sorry. I'm nervous.
04:00My last CO didn't really let me drive much.
04:03But it's the required element of your training.
04:05Right.
04:06He did enough to evaluate me, but driving was his domain.
04:09Okay.
04:10Well, he was a legend, so I guess I'll defer to his judgment.
04:14But I still have to evaluate you fully.
04:16Of course.
04:17All right.
04:18Let's start with traffic stop procedures.
04:19Head north on La Brea.
04:21Closer we get to sunset, the more likely we are
04:23to find someone driving like a fool.
04:24Cool.
04:25That's right.
04:26No.
04:27North is left.
04:28North is left.
04:29North is left.
04:30Okay.
04:31I think I am seeing why McAdams didn't want you driving.
04:34Sorry.
04:35What?
04:36Nothing.
04:37What?
04:38Nothing.
04:39Nothing.
04:40It's just, uh, you're glowing.
04:41I'm what?
04:42Your aura.
04:43It's...
04:44You had sex.
04:45I did not.
04:46I did not.
04:47I did not.
04:48I did not.
04:49I am feeling kind of sparkly today though.
04:50So thank you.
04:51Okay.
04:52Okay.
04:53Okay.
04:54What?
04:55Nothing.
04:56It's just, I noticed your hand touched teams at roll call.
04:59Is that how you think sex works?
05:00Uh-huh.
05:01No, but seriously.
05:02I mean, you can trust me with your secret.
05:03We're roomies.
05:04No, I know.
05:05I know.
05:06I know that.
05:07But, seriously, nothing, nothing is going on.
05:09Okay.
05:10Yeah, I mean, that's what they said.
05:11I don't get it.
05:12I know.
05:13I know.
05:14I know.
05:15I know.
05:16I know.
05:17I know that.
05:18I know.
05:19It's just, I know.
05:20I know.
05:21It's just, I know.
05:22It's just, I noticed your hand touched teams at roll call.
05:24Is that how you think sex works?
05:25Uh-huh.
05:26No, but seriously, I mean, you can trust me with your secret, we're roomies.
05:27No, I, I know.
05:28I know that.
05:29But, seriously, nothing, nothing is going on.
05:31Okay.
05:32I don't get it.
05:34I'm sorry, but I can't do that.
05:36What's going on?
05:37Apparently, our social media intern posted that it was parking ticket, amnesty day.
05:42Just bring in your ticket, and all will be forgiven.
05:44We have a social media intern?
05:46Not for long, because I'm going to kill her.
05:48Okay.
05:49Everybody, listen up.
05:50If you are here because of the amnesty post, it's an April Fool's joke.
05:53Okay?
05:54You still have to pay your tickets.
05:55Now, the good news is, you're in the right place to get that done.
06:00Really?
06:01Thanks, but a whole new line is going to start up again as long as that post is up.
06:16Are you the social media intern?
06:18If you're looking for help setting up a TikTok account, it's not my job.
06:21Definitely not.
06:22Look, social media is the worst of us.
06:24I'm here because you posted that it was parking ticket amnesty day on the LAPD account.
06:28Fire, right?
06:29No, not fire, unless it's the kind you have to put out.
06:32Who approved this?
06:33Mmm, Captain gave me a long leash to increase our social following, ergo.
06:37Ergo, you made a promise we can't keep.
06:40Look, once parking tickets are issued, they're in the system.
06:42They can't legally be waived, which means you pissed off a bunch of people who are taking it out on us.
06:46Okay, can I offer a suggestion?
06:47No.
06:48Your whole vibe needs work.
06:49Yeah, there's like an art to giving criticism.
06:51I like to start with a compliment, then gently deliver the note, and then end it with a compliment.
06:55Like a little feel-good sandwich.
06:57Delete the tweet.
06:58Now.
06:59Oh, no.
07:00No, no, no, no, no.
07:01A dirty delete will get us canceled.
07:02But I can issue an apology statement with something cute.
07:05Fine.
07:06Get on it.
07:07Could've been an email.
07:08My God.
07:09Joe!
07:10Hey!
07:11Wesley!
07:12I heard you're taking over the Bendover case.
07:13Literally fell into my lap.
07:14I'm just trying to get up to speed, but I would love a continuance.
07:19Oh, I'm sure you would, but there's not a chance in hell.
07:22My client has a right to a speedy trial, and if you can't provide that, then you're violating his rights and the judge will dismiss the case.
07:28Oh, right, you're smiling because you smell blood in the water, because I only have the rest of the day to make sure your client doesn't walk.
07:33What a hundred percent?
07:34Mm-hmm.
07:35See, being a public defender is a thankless, bad-paying job with few wins against a DA's office that punishes the poor and loves to rub my nose in the mud at every turn.
07:44See, your distress is a rare moment of karmic joy that I would've brought popcorn for had I known in advance.
07:51Mm-hmm.
07:52But, uh, hey, you want to cut your losses and save the rest of your day, then drop the charges.
07:57I can't.
07:58It's murder.
07:59There's an eyewitness.
08:00What about a plea deal?
08:01Nope.
08:02There's an eyewitness guy who's innocent and adamant to have his day in court.
08:05Okay.
08:06See, they're bright and early.
08:07I've definitely been bringing popcorn.
08:10Angela, hey.
08:17I need to ask you a favor.
08:19All right.
08:21Oh, I have seemed to drop my pen.
08:25Sorry.
08:26One sec, I love it.
08:27Hey, you called for backup?
08:28No.
08:29Witnesses.
08:30Oh, shit.
08:32You are definitely being pumped.
08:35Right?
08:36There is no way this is a rookie with 12 months of training.
08:39Maybe he's just nervous about impressing you.
08:41You know, not first time training with a new deal.
08:43You are?
08:44Easy as pie.
08:45Okay.
08:46Well, this is all wrong.
08:48Oh, yeah.
08:49You made that ticket out to yourself.
08:52Oh, shoot.
08:53Uh, I'm sorry.
08:55I'm a little rusty.
08:56My last T.O. wasn't into traffic enforcement.
08:59My bad.
09:00Not nerves.
09:01Good luck.
09:02But you were gonna...
09:03Gotta go!
09:07Where are you going?
09:08Oh, right.
09:09Sorry.
09:10Won't have it so hard.
09:127 Adam 15.
09:13I have a 415 family.
09:153107 Avon Street.
09:17Male and female in the verbal details to your box.
09:197 Adam 15.
09:20Show us something.
09:23Okay.
09:24Tell me you've handled domestic disputes before.
09:26I've handled domestic disputes before.
09:28Okay.
09:29But...
09:30But for reals, I haven't.
09:31Then why would you tell me?
09:33Well, you told me to tell you.
09:35But I'm excited to experience my first with you.
09:38What do I need to know?
09:39Okay.
09:40Cops like to use acronyms to remember things.
09:44And today you're going to learn the gambit.
09:46The G-M-B-I-T of domestic disputes.
09:54It's always a good idea just to stand to the side.
09:59Just in case of potential incoming gunfire.
10:01You think he's going to shoot at us?
10:02No.
10:03But you should do things the right way every time.
10:05That way the moves become automatic.
10:07Knock on the door.
10:08Police!
10:09Open up!
10:13What do you want?
10:14Wait.
10:15Did you call in?
10:16No.
10:17No, baby.
10:18I would never.
10:19Uh, sir, we received multiple calls about a disturbance.
10:23We just wanted to make sure that everything was all right.
10:25We're fine.
10:26And you're not coming in my house without a warrant.
10:28Now the first step in gambit is G.
10:31Get inside.
10:32Now explain to the gentleman we don't need a warrant
10:34to investigate domestic violence,
10:36and that we hate to disturb him, but by law,
10:38we can't leave until we resolve this.
10:41What if he slams the door on us?
10:43Well, then we would have to destroy the door
10:44and probably arrest him.
10:49You got two minutes.
10:57You two look so familiar.
10:59Have we met?
11:00I'm a friend of James Murray and his wife, Nyla.
11:03Teddy and I were at that fundraising gala last month.
11:05That's right.
11:06Children of the fallen.
11:07And you had a drunken altercation with Sergeant Bradford.
11:10All right.
11:11Now we are in the house.
11:13Step two is M. Make it safe.
11:15Do you see anything unsafe?
11:19You know, someone, not you, Teddy,
11:23might use that bottle as a weapon,
11:25which would mean we would have to use force,
11:27so let's not have that.
11:35I am so sorry.
11:36He just lost his job, and it's been a really tough week.
11:39Tough week.
11:40You don't have to tell everybody
11:41on our business all the time.
11:42Which brings us to B, as in be observant
11:45so that we can I investigate.
11:47Teddy has clearly had too much to drink.
11:49Anita is upset.
11:50Why don't you go talk to her
11:51and figure out what happened?
11:55No.
11:56Just go talk to her alone.
11:58Walk behind me.
11:59Stay where I can see you.
12:03Hey, don't say nothing about nothing.
12:06Cops trying to jam me up in my own house.
12:08You're new, huh?
12:10Let's talk about you.
12:12What's going on?
12:13We're here to help.
12:14He just gets drunk,
12:16then mad at the world,
12:18everybody else did him wrong,
12:19and nothing is his fault.
12:20He's never hit me, but...
12:23He scares me,
12:25and I am so tired of being scared.
12:28Well, look, we can take care of him today.
12:30But if this continues,
12:32you can always call us.
12:33We also have resources to help you
12:35if you decide
12:37when you want to get away from him.
12:40Yeah.
12:41Which brings us to T,
12:43for take appropriate action.
12:44What do we have, Officer Gray?
12:45Negative two, seven, three, five.
12:47But she wants him to leave.
12:48She's afraid.
12:49Well, she's just gonna have
12:50to be afraid, then.
12:51It's not a crime to tie one on
12:53in my own house.
12:54I know my rights.
12:56We are simply concerned
12:58that you are a danger to yourself
13:00or to others.
13:01So you're gonna have to come with us.
13:03No criminal charges.
13:04Just to see a nurse
13:05so you can sober up
13:06and cool down alone.
13:08Officer Craig,
13:09search Teddy for weapons
13:10and escort him to the shop.
13:12Hey, don't touch me.
13:13I'll pay your salary.
13:17That changes.
13:19The taking action part of it,
13:21now there will be criminal charges.
13:23And that is the gambit
13:26of handling a domestic disturbance.
13:28I don't understand.
13:32On paper,
13:33the kid's a rockstar trainee.
13:35All his daily observation reports
13:37are signed off.
13:38Craig's checklist
13:39is practically complete.
13:40Yes, sir.
13:41And yet there are significant holes
13:43in his training.
13:44His officer's safety
13:45and his perception of danger
13:47are nonexistent.
13:48He struggled with a basic traffic citation.
13:50I find that hard to believe.
13:52McAdams is a highly respected FTO.
13:55I know.
13:56But I am telling you, sir,
13:57there is no way Officer Craig
13:58is going to be ready in a month.
13:59Hell, he...
14:01He may not even make it
14:02to the end of the day.
14:04So what do you want me to do?
14:05Um...
14:07It's ultimately your call.
14:08But I would think carefully
14:10before bouncing him.
14:11You trained a stellar first rookie.
14:13But if you're handed an LAPD Legends trainee
14:16and he fails in a week,
14:18the captain might think
14:19the problem is you.
14:21Understood.
14:24And you're sure this isn't a prank?
14:26Because...
14:27No, I'm...
14:28Sorry.
14:29Listen.
14:30But if it was...
14:32I'm on it.
14:34Why are we here?
14:36Instead of the bend-over lead investigator.
14:38I left two messages for Detective Berman
14:40that he has not returned.
14:41And I do not have time to wait.
14:42I have to decide by tonight
14:43whether I am going to trial
14:44or dropping charges.
14:45But as a thank you,
14:46I'm ordering lunch in from Republique.
14:48Oh, well, you should have led with that.
14:49As you can see from the file,
14:51our victim, Frank Horbolt,
14:52was killed in the parking garage
14:53of his office building.
14:54Now, the eyewitness,
14:55a maintenance worker,
14:56claims to have seen Ben Dover
14:57following Horbolt
14:58out of the elevator
14:59and returning alone
15:00five minutes later
15:01and dropping something
15:02into a garbage can.
15:03The police later found
15:05the murder weapon
15:06in that same trash can.
15:07Is there a relationship
15:08between Dover and the victim?
15:09No.
15:10They work in the same building
15:11but no direct contact.
15:12So your whole case
15:13basically rests on
15:14the believability of your witness?
15:15Yep.
15:16She's in there
15:17waiting to talk to us.
15:18Come on.
15:20Hey.
15:25Um, I-I was told
15:27that I wouldn't have to testify.
15:30Told by who?
15:31Detective Berman.
15:32He said that, um,
15:33the killer would take a plea deal.
15:34No sweat.
15:35Why are you nervous
15:36about testifying?
15:37I'm not.
15:38I'm just-
15:39Berman said that-
15:40Okay, forget about what Berman said.
15:41Let's talk about your testimony.
15:42You said that you saw Ben Dover
15:44follow Frank Horbolt
15:45into the garage.
15:46There were a few minutes
15:48between them
15:49but Berman said that-
15:50Hold on.
15:51Did Detective Berman coach you
15:52on what to say
15:53in your testimony?
15:54No.
15:55No.
15:56No, it's just he,
15:57um,
15:58defined coach.
16:00Okay.
16:01You know what?
16:02Just, um,
16:03let's give us a couple minutes.
16:09You should drop the case.
16:10She'll get killed in a cross-examination.
16:11Okay, but is she lying
16:12or did Berman just shape her testimony
16:14to be more definitive?
16:15Neither is good.
16:17Will you talk to Berman?
16:18Forget it.
16:19Look, if I do it,
16:20he's gonna shut down
16:21and I don't have time to pressure him.
16:22I have to make a decision
16:23in a couple hours.
16:24I need to know if this case is winnable.
16:25We'll do it for a price.
16:28A spa weekend
16:29for me and my partner.
16:30Mm-hmm.
16:31And when you say my partner,
16:32you mean my wife?
16:33Unless she thinks
16:34that we should give her husband a freebie.
16:36Oh, hell no.
16:37Mm-hmm.
16:38Two-bedroom suite
16:39at Malibu Beach Resort
16:40while the men watch the children.
16:43Okay.
16:44Mm-hmm.
16:50I-I don't understand.
16:51Am I in trouble?
16:52No, I just need to speak
16:53to your old training officer
16:54about some deficits
16:55in your training.
16:56Hi.
16:57I'm looking for Sergeant McAdams.
16:58His station says
16:59he's here taking some statements.
17:00He's in the ER.
17:01I-I memorized the Rook book.
17:02Go ahead.
17:03Ask me anything.
17:04Yeah.
17:05It's not about the rule book.
17:06It's about a failure
17:07to translate words into actions.
17:11There he is.
17:13All right.
17:14Just stay here.
17:15Okay?
17:16Say hi for me.
17:17All right.
17:20Sergeant McAdams.
17:22Yeah.
17:23John Nolan from the Mid-Wilshire Station.
17:25Okay.
17:26I was hoping to ask you a few questions
17:27about your old rookie,
17:28Connor Craig.
17:29You as New Teal?
17:30I am.
17:31And I've noticed some gaps in his training.
17:34You heard it cause trouble?
17:36No, sir.
17:37No, I'm just...
17:38I'm looking for some clarity.
17:40I-I mean, you are a legend in the department,
17:42and this kid spent a year with you,
17:44but he has no practical understanding of the job.
17:54Look, I was supposed to retire last year.
17:56Stayed on as a favorite of my captain.
17:58Craig shows up.
17:59He's got no instincts, no fire,
18:00no command presence.
18:01Why not just bounce her?
18:02And go out on a loser?
18:03Finish my career on a fail?
18:05No way.
18:06So I carried him.
18:07Only took low-impact calls.
18:09I got the seniority to pull it off, so...
18:11Only you did chicken out in the end.
18:13You forced the transfer
18:15so that you wouldn't be the one
18:16who put an untrained cop onto the street.
18:19You got no right to judge me.
18:22Actually, I do.
18:24Because I'm the cop who could've been killed today
18:26on a domestic.
18:27Because the kid you sent me
18:28doesn't know enough to have my back.
18:38Did you say hi back?
18:42Are you gonna bounce me?
18:43Honestly?
18:44I should.
18:46Instead, I'm gonna give you the rest of the day
18:48to prove that you are worth the risk.
18:50Do not make me regret it.
18:54Okay.
19:01Come on, knock it off!
19:05It isn't right.
19:06You have to let us go.
19:07What's going on?
19:08He's not honoring our get-out-of-jail-free cards.
19:11That's not a thing.
19:12Then why is it on the LAPD's social media account?
19:16What?
19:24What the hell were you thinking?
19:31Raising your voice in the workplace
19:33is a sign of weakness, not strength.
19:35You posted get-out-of-jail-free cards.
19:37Oh, I couldn't just delete the parking ticket tweet.
19:39I mean, that screamed scandal.
19:40So I retracted it with something that is clearly a joke.
19:43Not to the growing number of criminals in Holding demanding we release them.
19:47This is not funny.
19:48No, how dumb people are is always funny.
19:50It's clear on the post it's an April Fool's joke.
19:52See?
19:53It says, April Fool's, this is not redeemable.
19:55In tiny print no one can read.
19:57Okay, Boomer, go find your glasses.
19:59I'm sorry, Boomer?
20:00This is not my fault.
20:01Those Delulus didn't even scan the QR code.
20:03If they had, they would have seen this.
20:07Okay, you know what?
20:08Your reckless behavior has cost us department time and resources.
20:11And the fact that you keep making excuses
20:12lets me know that you don't see why that's a problem.
20:14You're fired.
20:15Uh, you can't fire me.
20:16I'm a civilian employee.
20:17You're right.
20:18You've been fired by the Office of Support Services,
20:20and they were happy to let me be the one to tell you.
20:22So pack up your stuff and be grateful
20:23you're not leaving this room in handcuffs.
20:27You don't have to be so mean about it.
20:33Hey!
20:34What the hell are you guys up to?
20:36Let me guess, you must be Berman.
20:37Oh, like you don't know.
20:38Look, we get why you're not happy,
20:40but the DA's office had us assigned to this case
20:42when they couldn't get into contact with you.
20:43Yeah, well, that's not how things work, and you know it.
20:46What, do you think I don't know who your husband is?
20:47Okay, why don't you just take a deep breath
20:49before you say something you're gonna regret?
20:51Why don't you go screw yourself?
20:53Okay, that's enough of that.
20:54We didn't set out to jam you up,
20:56but we've been inside your case for five minutes,
20:58and it's a hot mess.
20:59So we're gonna go inside and talk to the victim's widow
21:02and try to get some clarity.
21:04We were gonna invite you,
21:05but now you can go screw yourself.
21:09Was the widow really inside waiting to talk to us?
21:11No, I just wanted to see his face when I said it,
21:14and he looked panicked.
21:15The question is why?
21:23I'm sorry, okay?
21:24It took longer than I thought to get you bailed out.
21:26I would've never been in there in the first place
21:27if you hadn't sold me out.
21:29Baby, please, I didn't sell you out.
21:31I just...
21:33Sometimes you can get a little scary.
21:35Get over it.
21:36Look, you are so weak.
21:40Give me the damn keys.
21:44Today.
21:49She bailed him out.
21:50How many times do I have to tell you about this damn seat?
21:53Why would she do that?
21:54People in abusive relationships
21:56often do things that are against their best interests.
21:59He looks more angry than when we arrested him.
22:02What should we do?
22:03You gave her that card for victim resources, right?
22:05You told her she could call them or us at any point?
22:08Yeah.
22:09Yeah.
22:10I even circled the one Sergeant McAdams said we're the best.
22:12Best we can hope for is that she uses one of them.
22:15People are gonna make their own choices.
22:18We're here for when they make bad ones.
22:21Wow.
22:22We never even did this when we were actually together.
22:23Well, that's because we didn't have a deadline.
22:24Okay.
22:25Midnight, right?
22:26Yes, please.
22:27Do you think it's been long enough?
22:28I mean, I think a little longer.
22:30We should really get back to work and do things.
22:33Things?
22:34Yes.
22:35Things like crime.
22:36We need to stop crime.
22:37Okay.
22:38Do you insist?
22:39I do.
22:40I do insist.
22:41It's your shirt.
22:42No.
22:43No.
22:44No.
22:45No.
22:46No.
22:47No.
22:48No.
22:49No.
22:50No.
22:51No.
22:52No.
22:53No.
22:54No.
22:55No.
22:56No.
22:57No.
22:58No.
22:59No.
23:00No.
23:01Hi.
23:02Hey.
23:03Y-uh-we should get back out there.
23:06Yeah, unless you and Tim need to discuss something in private.
23:09No.
23:10I think we covered everything.
23:11Yeah.
23:12Okay, ladies.
23:15Uh-oh.
23:17What?
23:19A social media intern I just fired posted this.
23:22City of Los Angeles.
23:23For the next three hours, all crime is legal.
23:25Go nuts and don't call us.
23:27Peace sign, emoji wearing sunglasses.
23:28Emoji wearing sunglasses, peace sign.
23:32Here we go.
23:35Libby posted the purge alerts across all social media platforms before changing the passwords,
23:40and we can't take them down until IT hacks into the account.
23:42Which could take hours.
23:43I mean, people have to know this is a joke.
23:45Most people will see it that way, but there are plenty that won't.
23:48911's already getting swamped with calls.
23:49Looting, robberies, and a host of assaults.
23:52All right.
23:53We're on citywide tactical alert with mandatory holdover until further notice.
23:58In progress, crime against persons are priority one.
24:01Refer all property crimes to online reporting.
24:0410-7 reporting will be held until end of shift.
24:07How bad is this going to be?
24:09Pretty bad.
24:10The police told me I could do it on the internet.
24:12It's not going to stand up in court.
24:13But there will be lawsuits, especially from the crime victims who claim that their injuries were caused by the LAPD posting this.
24:19Bottom line is this.
24:19Make sure your arrests have all the criminal elements, your evidence is solid, and your reports are spotless.
24:24Okay.
24:25Everyone's 10-8.
24:26Be safe out there.
24:31I'm going to leave you here at the station.
24:33What?
24:33No.
24:34Officer Craig, you remain a wild card with serious officer safety issues.
24:40I can't go face whatever craziness is about to jump off while I have to be worried about you.
24:44With all due respect, sir, that's your job as a training officer.
24:48I didn't realize that I wasn't being fully trained before, and that's on me, but you said we'd spend the rest of the shift evaluating me, and what better way to do that than when the pressure's on?
24:58Otherwise, you're no better than McAdams.
24:59I'm sorry, that last part was way over the line, but I stand by the rest.
25:10All right, you're in.
25:11I won't let you down.
25:13I won't let you down.
25:13It's not me I'd be worried about.
25:15My wife is a ninja warrior assassin.
25:17If she ends up a widow because of you, there won't be enough left of you to fit into a bucket.
25:22Not a joke.
25:22He must have been going 90 miles an hour.
25:43Should we go after him?
25:44Negative.
25:45Gray wants us focused on crimes against persons.
25:47We can get his license plate from the dash cam later.
25:497 Adam 15, multiple callers report shots fired in the alley 3100 block Avon Street.
25:55Hospital 1054 lane by the vehicle.

34:51It's all right. Stay there. Stay right there.
34:52No.
35:08No. Go. Save her.
35:32You can get a case dismissed.
35:34Okay. No.
35:35You can get a case dismissed, and you're dismissed.
35:39You've got a case dismissed.
35:41Oh, I've got a case dismissed.
35:42You've got a case dismissed, and...
35:44Please! Show me your hands.
35:46Did a man drag a woman through here?
35:48There.
35:49SWAT is coming through here. They are heavily armed.
35:51If I were you, I would restrain myself and sit down.
35:53Oh, look out!
36:18You okay?
36:24Yeah.
36:32Come here. Get up.
36:33Wait. Wait. What are you... What are you doing?
36:35Arresting you.
36:36But I was held hostage. Doesn't that count for something?
36:38No. You were at the clerk's office filing a wrongful termination lawsuit against the LAPD
36:42after instigating mass violence on the job.
36:44You're not the victim here.
36:45You caused all this.
36:46I'm sorry.
37:08So what?
37:09I got no feel-good sandwich here for you, Libby.
37:11People are dead because of your recklessness.
37:13You're lucky you're not one of them.
37:14I-I really didn't think that anyone was going to take this seriously.
37:18I-I'm so sorry.
37:20Got the arrest warrant for Detective Berman.
37:22Detective who?
37:23Berman from West Hollywood.
37:25Turns out Berman is having an affair with the wife of our murder victim.
37:28Berman killed his competition and blackmailed a witness to frame Ben Dover for his crime.
37:33Ben Dover?
37:34Yes, sir. Dover is a real person with an unfortunate name.
37:38I hate April Fool's Day.
37:39See, if you need backup for the arrest, you're gonna have to wait.
37:42Oh, I had the arrest come to the backup, sir.
37:44I had Berman's captain call him down here to assist with the scene.
37:48Smart.
37:48Yeah, I'll try.
37:51Hello.
37:52It's me. Where are you?
37:53Downtown, just landing at a crime scene.
37:56It's set up.
37:56An arrest warrant with your name on it just came across my desk.
37:59They're about to put you in cuffs, dude.
38:01I never called you.
38:02What's he doing?
38:10I don't know.
38:10Trying out some mime school?
38:13The call was a tip-off.
38:14Berman!
38:15Show me your hands!
38:24Hands now!
38:25Then, Officer Craig noticed a glass at the scene, still wet with alcoholic beverage.
38:36He photographed it where he found it.
38:37Before, a group of rioters took over your crime scene and destroyed yet another shop.
38:42The dissipation rate of alcohol and Anita's fingerprints on the glass placed her at the
38:48scene near the time of the murder.
38:50We believed that she was lying in wait for him to come home and then confronted him outside
38:53the vehicle and shot him multiple times, hoping that we would pin the murder on the
38:59perch.
38:59I understand you also had your first tactical retreat.
39:02Is that what cops call running away?
39:03Yeah, it just sounds cooler when you say it that way.
39:05Ah, yeah.
39:05Then, yes, sir.
39:07Uh, after some time, we circled back and the crowd had moved on.
39:10But not before damaging our shop, stealing Teddy's watch and wallet, and posting selfies
39:16with the corpse.
39:17Which means it'll be easier to identify and arrest.
39:20Nice to see people's stupidity works in our favor this time.
39:24Ah, good news.
39:25Rampart just picked up Anita at Union Station trying to get on a train to Flagstaff.
39:29They're bringing her in now.
39:30All right.
39:31So, Officer Craig, after everything you've seen tonight, this career is still something
39:35you want to pursue?
39:37Oh, yes, sir.
39:39Uh, this career is everything I've ever dreamed about.
39:42A lot of my friends thought I was crazy for joining the Academy, but, um, you know, I
39:46believe helping people is my calling.
39:48And if you can find it in your heart to give me a proper chance, I promise you won't regret
39:53it.
39:56All right.
39:56I will endorse your continuation in the FTO program, but I will have to reassign you
40:02to a different, much quieter division to make sure you have the best opportunity to succeed.
40:09Yes, sir.
40:09Thank you, sir.
40:10You're welcome.
40:11All right.
40:12Dismissed.
40:12Thank you for giving me a second chance.
40:21Connor, you stepped up when it mattered.
40:23And I know you are transferring out, but, uh, I'm always here as a resource.
40:28Just, you know, be chill about it.
40:29I will.
40:31Later.
40:31Hey.
40:34Hey.
40:35Things got interesting out there with your rookie.
40:37A little fighting, a little, uh, tactical retreating, a little murder salt.
40:41Not bad for my first purge.
40:42Don't even joke about that.
40:43Bradford, chin.
40:45In here.
40:47See you tomorrow.
40:49Hopefully.
40:49It's come to my attention that you two are back in a romantic relationship when you
40:54both know it's against the rules.
40:56He's your supervisor, for God's sakes.
40:58Yeah.
40:59Yes, sir.
40:59But, um, look, we've been trying to fight the feeling for a long time, but...
41:03April Fools!
41:05April Fools!
41:08Are you okay?
41:11Sir, what's going on?
41:13Oh, my God.
41:13Sir?
41:13Are you having a heart attack?
41:14Whoa!
41:15Oh, my God.
41:15Call.
41:16Call.
41:16Are you all right?
41:17Sit back.
41:17Oh, my God.
41:19Gotcha.
41:25I thought you hated pranks.
41:27I do.
41:30But to wipe the smug look off your faces, it was worth joining in this one time.
41:37Yes.
41:38We deserve that, but you nearly scared me half to death.
41:41Good.
41:42Good, good, good.
41:43Remember that next time you think about trying to fool me.
41:46Now, go.
41:49Have a good night.
41:51Happy?
41:52Thrilled.
41:53I mean, that worked out perfectly.
41:54And we still have 55 minutes left.
41:56My problem is I live 30 minutes away.
41:58Not if we hurry.
42:00Uh, where are you, uh, going?
42:02Oh, home.
42:02I'll see you there.
42:04Yeah, I'll, uh, see you there.
42:08There is definitely something going on between us two.
42:11Okay.
42:12blah, blah, blah, blah.
42:17The hell's that thing is?
42:19Okay, yeah.
42:20Yeah.
42:20Okay.
42:51Damn it.
