00:00Everybody gather round, sign the brakes through the ups and downs, and let the spirits walk in.
00:07Professor Ryan.
00:08Oh, Officer Nolan, little A for class, don't you think?
00:12My apologies for missing the exam. I got a stuck at work, last-minute call, armed robbery.
00:16Is everyone all right?
00:17Yes, thank you. But about the exam, is there any way I could make that up?
00:21I made my policy clear on the first day, a missed test is a failed test.
00:25Yes. You also said in your first lecture that strict law is often great injustice. Cicero.
00:33Oh, okay. Well, if you want an exception, you'll need to earn it.
00:37Tell me what I have to do.
00:38You have to answer one legal question.
00:40Okay, that's easy.
00:43A woman witnesses a stabbing in a nightclub. She's pretty sure the assailant is black and that he has a scar on his right arm.
00:52Wait, she's sure that he has a scar on his right arm, but not sure that he's African American?
00:55Did I say African American?
00:57Right. Black, sorry.
00:58Mm-hmm. Uh, there are over 400 club goers, so it's going to take a while to interview them all.
01:05And the longer you wait...
01:07The more their memories will have a chance to degrade, and it will give the assailant a chance to destroy any evidence.
01:11And if you do not find the culprit tonight, you probably never will.
01:14So who do you round up to question?
01:17A, all the black men.
01:20B, all the men, regardless of color.
01:22A, or C, everyone.
01:25Are there any more facts? This isn't really easy to answer based on what you've given me.
01:30Well, this is not an easy class.
01:32Get me the right answer by end of day tomorrow, and I will let you make up the exam.
01:37Right. Thank you. I will.
01:39Hey, sorry to do this by text, but it's just not working with us.
02:07Yeah, what's going on?
02:13Well, I set up a lunch for you with the head of the man's security detail.
02:17There's a driver position opening, higher profile, better pay, and it'll get you to IA faster.
02:23But, um, I'm just not sure that's where I want to end up, you know?
02:28Well, I thought after the Doug Stanton situation, you'd be motivated to clean up the department.
02:32You want to be where you can do the most good, right?
02:34Yeah, yeah, of course.
02:35Then it's settled.
02:35I can't believe him.
02:40I know. Maneuvering me to IA like I have no say in it.
02:43No, not your dad. And that breaking up with me by text? What is he, 14? He doesn't have the guts to do it in person?
02:48Most guys don't. Look, just be happy he didn't ghost you.
02:51Can we get to work now?
02:52Did Emmett talk to you about this?
02:54No. Why would he?
02:54Because you're friends?
02:56We don't talk feelings. We drink and watch sports together.
02:59That's guy for friends.
03:00Well, straight guy for friends.
03:02Look, you want my advice? Walk it off. He's clearly not the right guy for you.
03:07That is the same advice he would give me if I got hit by a pitch. What is wrong with men?
03:12So much. Look, I am really sorry to hear that.
03:16But I will pick up some tequila and ice cream on the way home, and we can listen to my breakup playlist on repeat and maybe throw a few little shady prank calls to Emmett.
03:24Thanks.
03:26Here you go. Change of clothes, prenatal vitamins, anti-acid, anti-guess, ginger chews, and magnesium supplements.
03:32I have never loved you more.
03:34Have you heard anything from the kidnappers?
03:36Not since the last ransom demand. But I'm waiting on DNA results from the crime scene. Hopefully they come in before I get back to the bossy house.
03:43How's Judge Abassi holding up?
03:45As well as can be, I suppose, considering his son was abducted. You've argued in front of him. You know anyone who want revenge?
03:52Every criminal who ever stepped foot in his court.
03:54Half the lawyers.
03:56I'm going to need more clothes.
03:59DNA results?
04:01No, it's your mom texting me again.
04:03Yeah, sorry. She wants to talk about the baby's trust fund.
04:06Whatever the question is, my answer is yes.
04:08That has been well established. But believe me, there are complications to having money.
04:13Like always being able to pay the rent or buy food?
04:17Like having a child kidnapped for ransom.
04:18Finally, my DNA results.
04:25Um, I got to get changed. You can handle your mom, right?
04:29Uh, yeah. Mom, you're breaking up. I'm going to have to call you back.
04:32Perfect. Love you.
04:35I love you, too.
04:38I need a couple of unis on my kidnapping case. Could you spare Harper and Nolan?
04:42Sure thing. What do you need them for?
04:43I'm running down a lead. I have a conflict of interest.
04:46Something I should know about?
04:48Not yet.
04:49Okay. I'll call Harper and Nolan back in.
04:51Actually, have them meet me at the Abbasi house.
04:53Will do.
04:54Appreciate it.
04:56Looking good, Officer West.
04:57Don't always, Detective Lopez.
05:00So, Officer West, I've decided who it is you'll be riding with today.
05:04Great. Who's the lucky officer?
05:06Me.
05:06Sir?
05:07Considering your upcoming graduation from the FTO program,
05:11I thought it would be a good idea if we talked about your future in the department.
05:14Funny. I just had a similar conversation with my dad.
05:17Did he enlist you to help steer me to IA?
05:18No. IA is not the right path for you.
05:22But you know it is.
05:23Yes, I do.
05:25Now, go set up our shop.
05:31If you were to single out all the black men for questioning,
05:34it wouldn't be technically profiling
05:36because the added element that they were all in the building
05:39when the crime was committed makes it legally okay, right?
05:42It's a dark, crowded bar.
05:43Are we sure the witness even saw a black guy?
05:45No. The witness wasn't definitive.
05:47So, what's the answer?
05:49Well, you're going about this all wrong.
05:51It's not about finding the right answer.
05:52It's about finding the answer that she wants.
05:55Or the one that she doesn't want.
05:57I can't imagine she'd take me worthy of retesting
05:59if all I said was the question of the black men.
06:01Why? Because she's black?
06:02Well, yeah, right?
06:05What?
06:07She could just be testing you
06:08to see if you'd censor yourself with her to curry favor.
06:11Hey, let me bring you up to speed.
06:16This is Austin Abassi, age 20,
06:19son of Judge William Abassi.
06:20Three days ago, Austin was kidnapped
06:22from his apartment in Hollywood.
06:24The kidnapper sent an untraceable email
06:25demanding $100,000 in ransom.
06:27On Thursday night, a backpack full of cash
06:30was left at the designated drop-off spot,
06:31but Austin wasn't returned.
06:33Let me guess.
06:33They came up with $100,000 so fast,
06:35the kidnappers wanted more?
06:36A million.
06:37That's when the judge finally called the police.
06:39We processed the crime scene.
06:40A female DNA sample was found on an empty beer bottle.
06:43Did you get a match?
06:44She's not in our system,
06:45but a familial DNA test determined the sample
06:48comes from the offspring
06:49of someone we currently have behind bars.
06:51Someone I can't interview
06:53because of a conflict of interest.
06:57Oscar?
06:58You've got to be kidding me.
07:00I'm guessing your conflict of interest
07:01is that he stabbed your fiancé.
07:03Technically, my conflict is the desire to kill him for that.
07:05But you wouldn't really.
07:06I'm pregnant. Don't try me.
07:08Okay, so wait.
07:09Oscar has a daughter?
07:10Not according to any official records.
07:12In fact, I can't find any records of a relationship.
07:14That doesn't surprise me.
07:16Oscar's too much of a narcissist to keep a girlfriend.
07:19What's going on?
07:20Did something happen?
07:22Judge Abbasi, Mrs. Abbasi,
07:24this is Detective Harper and Officer Nolan.
07:26They're going to be running down a lead
07:27regarding this man, Oscar Hutchinson.
07:29He's currently serving 40 years at Cal Correctional
07:32for multiple violent felonies.
07:34Harper and Nolan will be going to the prison
07:35to question him.
07:36Whatever resources you need,
07:38you'll have them.
07:39Yes, and if there's a deal to be made,
07:42please, make it.
07:43We need Austin back safely.
07:45Well, the good news is,
07:46with Oscar, there's always a deal to be made.
07:51Sir, feel free to call us
07:52if his stereo gets down loud again.
07:55Have you ever been dumped out of the blue before?
07:58Let me think.
07:59One time,
08:01my wife left the house
08:02in the middle of the night
08:02and I didn't see her again for two years.
08:04Okay, I get it.
08:05In the grand scheme of things,
08:06this isn't that bad.
08:08I just want to know why.
08:09Can you please ask?
08:13Somebody tagged our shop?
08:16It can't be.
08:18It's been almost a decade.
08:19Since what?
08:20No, it's definitely him.
08:24The color palette,
08:25angle of the letters.
08:27What is happening right now?
08:34Get back up, get up, go get it.
08:36Control 7 out of 19,
08:37I got an on-view felony 594.
08:39Setting a command post at Pico and La Brea.
08:42Start me enough units for a six-block perimeter.
08:43It's Canvas Team,
08:44the Forensics Team,
08:45Air Support.
08:45Notify the press information officer.
08:47Oscar has to be behind this kidnapping somehow, right?
08:51No record of any female visitors
08:53and none of his mail
08:54has ever referenced a daughter.
08:55So either Oscar's been keeping her a secret from us.
08:58Then why do that?
08:58Or he's unaware that she even exists.
09:00Which presents a clear argument
09:02for nature over nurture
09:03as a predicate for criminal behavior.
09:04If she's involved in the kidnapping at all
09:07and not just some kid
09:08who had a beer at Austin's apartment
09:09and went home before he got grabbed.
09:11There's so many unknowns
09:12and I for one am confident
09:13that Oscar's gonna answer all of them.
09:17I'm kidding.
09:17He's gonna be a giant pain in the ass.
09:20Hey!
09:21It's my two favorite police officers.
09:23As you can see,
09:24we've mostly cleaned up the place after the riot.
09:27It's really hard to get brains out of cinder block.
09:29I guess you'd know.
09:30You don't get a lot of visitors, do you?
09:32I'm not sure what the point would be.
09:34I'm not going out of here on my feet.
09:36Unless you come bearing a pardon.
09:38No such luck.
09:38Hmm.
09:39Then what are you doing here
09:41asking questions about visitors?
09:43DNA turned up at a crime scene
09:44that links directly to you.
09:46But you have been in here, so...
09:48What are the matches in the polymorphic markers?
09:50You learn a lot about DNA in my line of work.
09:52Six out of 13.
09:54It's a first degree relative.
09:57Since both my folks are dead
09:58and I'm an only child,
10:00I got a kid.
10:05What do you do?
10:06She is connected to a kidnapping.
10:09Oh, way to go!
10:10You really had no idea you were her father.
10:13No.
10:15Wow.
10:16That's a lot to process.
10:17Well, all this time
10:18I had an organ donor on the outside.
10:20I'm going to really hit that prison huge harder now.
10:22Okay.
10:23I'm going to need you to make a list
10:24of every woman that could be the mother.
10:27Yeah.
10:28That's not going to be that easy.
10:30I don't like to brag,
10:31but that was quite popular back in the day.
10:34All right.
10:35On to the next leak.
10:36Hold up now.
10:37Hold.
10:39A drive around my old haunts
10:42might really jog the memory.
10:44Forget it.
10:44You got to give to get, detective.
10:46You want help?
10:47I want a day pass.
10:48You're going to do it.
10:49Because we both know
10:50you wouldn't have driven all the way out here
10:51if you had any other leads.
10:56Road trip.
11:00Judge Abbasi must have friends
11:02in high places
11:02to get this approved so fast.
11:04You know Oscar's going to try
11:05to rabbit the first chance he gets, right?
11:07We're not going to give him that chance.
11:14They say fashion is cyclical.
11:17Think this is coming back in?
11:18Yeah, that's going to take a few more cycles.
11:21Hey, I'm happy to see
11:22they updated your look
11:22with some modern jewelry.
11:24All right, so here's how this is going to work.
11:26You stop cooperating,
11:27it's back to prison.
11:28You mislead us,
11:29it's back to prison.
11:30You say a joke
11:31that I don't really think is funny,
11:32it's back to prison.
11:33I'm sensing a pattern.
11:35You try to escape,
11:36it's back to prison.
11:37Maybe by way of the emergency room.
11:39No, that's not how we roll.
11:40But Judge Abbasi
11:41might not be as dispassionate,
11:42and I bet
11:43he can get you transferred
11:44to a supermax
11:45just as easily
11:46as he got you out on furlough.
11:48There's no reason to be like that.
11:49We're a team,
11:50so where's my stuff?
11:56All the names and numbers
11:57of my conquests
11:58are right on here.
12:04You got a charger?
12:06When was the last time
12:07someone went through this?
12:11I'll probably get a few bucks
12:12for this on eBay.
12:13Keep looking.
12:15For Lila.
12:18Ah,
12:19this is the charger.
12:21Juice this baby up in the car
12:23while we're getting
12:23an early lunch.
12:25It's cruel and unusual punishment
12:27to deprive a prisoner
12:28of nourishment.
12:29Start boobin'.
12:30Well, The Three Eyes
12:30is active from 2006, 2010.
12:33Victims all over the city.
12:34Just when I thought
12:35I got close to catching him,
12:36he stopped.
12:37I thought maybe he died
12:38or got arrested
12:38on other charges.
12:40Still check VCAP
12:41every three months
12:41to see if he pops up
12:42in another city.
12:42He must have been
12:43a seriously hardcore guy
12:44for you obsessed like that.
12:45What was his main crime?
12:48This.
12:50He's a tagger.
12:52Costs to see
12:52hundreds of thousands
12:53of dollars.
12:54In property damage,
12:55it doesn't explain
12:56why you were so obsessed
12:57with...
12:58What?
12:58Hold on.
13:00Three Eyes tagged
13:01your shop
13:02back when you were
13:03a rookie?
13:03My T.O.
13:05was chasing a suspect.
13:06I was guarding
13:06a vehicle full of evidence.
13:08A vehicle that was
13:09ten feet away
13:11from your shop?
13:12It was right under
13:12your nose.
13:13I was ordered
13:14to keep my eyes
13:15on the car.
13:16I just let the army
13:16where you follow orders
13:17to a T.
13:18Oh, man,
13:18I could just imagine
13:19the relentless teasing.
13:20Did they give you
13:20a nickname?
13:21Please say yes.
13:22No.
13:23That's why you're
13:24so intent on
13:24catching this guy.
13:25It's personal.
13:26He's a criminal
13:27and it's our job
13:27to stop him.
13:28I mean,
13:29the statute of limitations
13:30on these crimes
13:30ran out years ago.
13:32Even if we were
13:33to track him down
13:33for tagging our shop,
13:35it's a misdemeanor.
13:37Is that really
13:37the best use of our time?
13:41I will get us
13:42a fresh shop.
13:45Colleen.
13:46This is Oscar.
13:47Hey.
13:47Listen,
13:48is there any chance
13:48I knocked you up
13:49in the late 90s?
13:52Hello?
13:58Sasha.
14:00Baby.
14:01It's Oscar.
14:04Okay,
14:04I'm going to take
14:05that one as a no.
14:07Hello?
14:08Betty.
14:09I'm thinking about it.
14:10You know,
14:10I was just thinking
14:11of you, too.
14:11Okay,
14:12put it on speaker.
14:13We always tore it up,
14:15didn't we?
14:15Sure as hell did.
14:18Listen,
14:19um,
14:20is there any chance
14:21you and I
14:21had a kid together?
14:22But I'm down to try.
14:24I still have a few
14:25eggs left in me.
14:26Well, listen,
14:26they give me
14:27conjugal visits.
14:28Okay,
14:28you know what?
14:28That's it.
14:30Are you there?
14:31This is not
14:32a dating service.
14:33If you are not helping,
14:34you are going back.
14:38Baby,
14:39I'll call you back.
14:41Look,
14:42if it's not Betty,
14:43it's probably Margaret.
14:45She works at a diner,
14:46like,
14:46I don't know,
14:47ten blocks or so from here.
14:48Worth a shot, right?
14:51Fine.
14:51I think you should teach
14:59at the academy.
15:01I mean,
15:01yeah,
15:02sure,
15:03when I'm
15:03Nolan's age.
15:05They need you now.
15:06The good you can do
15:07as a teacher
15:08is exponential.
15:09I know it's not
15:10what you were picturing,
15:11but keep an open mind.
15:12Once you hit P2,
15:14I can steer you
15:15to assignments
15:15that will help
15:16prepare you to teach.
15:17I'm
15:18obviously
15:19grateful
15:20for your faith in me.
15:22Great.
15:22I'll set up a lunch
15:23with a few instructors
15:24on Tuesday.
15:25I'm actually
15:25supposed to be meeting
15:26with the mayor's team
15:27on Tuesday,
15:29but I'm sure
15:30I could do both.
15:38Control 7, Adam 7.
15:39I have an
15:39OnView 594
15:41tagging in progress
15:42at South Ripon Olympic.
15:43Sir,
15:57are you okay?
15:59I'm good.
16:00Go.
16:03Damn it.
16:04Altered down,
16:05South Ripon Olympic.
16:06Are you having
16:07a heart attack, sir?
16:07No.
16:08No, it's my back.
16:08Are you sure?
16:09Yeah, I'm sure.
16:10Is he having a heart attack?
16:11No, it's just my back.
16:12Where's the tagger?
16:13He went left
16:14around the corner.
16:14I stay here
16:15and call an ambulance.
16:17Don't move.
16:18Sir, don't get up.
16:20Oh.
16:20Don't move.
16:24Oh.
16:30Oh.
16:31Come on.
16:32Come on.
16:33All right.
16:41All right.
16:42Let's go.
17:12Son of a...
17:42What I should do is take a photo of everybody holding their IDs as they leave the club.
17:46That way I can circle back.
17:48Yeah, but that's not one of the options.
17:49I know.
17:50Wren versus U.S. Supreme Court says you can profile as much as you want, as long as there's at least some pretense.
17:55I don't think that's what they meant.
17:56It is what they meant.
17:57I got my law degree online two years ago.
18:00You know I'm licensed to practice in five states and the unincorporated territory of Guam.
18:04Okay, what's your take on this?
18:05There's a stabbing at a nightclub.
18:07The victim says she's pretty sure the suspect is black and he has a scar on his right arm.
18:12Wait a minute, wait a minute.
18:13She's sure about the scar but only pretty sure that he's black?
18:16That's what I said.
18:17Something's off.
18:17Obviously, she's creating a diversion while he's probably in the back robbing the place.
18:23That's what you get for asking a sociopath.
18:31I love the smell of a greasy spoon.
18:33Sit wherever you want.
18:35Oscar?
18:36I thought you were in prison for the next 40 years.
18:39Early release.
18:41Good behavior.
18:42Seriously?
18:42No.
18:43He's helping us with the case and then he's going straight back.
18:45Hey, you're no fun.
18:47Can I have some pie?
18:48Did you and Oscar have a good?
18:50God, no.
18:53Oscar?
18:54I'm sorry, do I know you?
18:56You lousy...
18:57Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa.
18:58Man, what's all this about?
19:00You knock me up and disappear and then I find out you're in jail for murder?
19:04Wait, Ashley is Oscar's kid?
19:06You cheated on me with Cindy?
19:08Hold on, I think it's coming back to me.
19:10You son of...
19:10Ladies, please, I appreciate how difficult this must be for you,
19:14but right now we need to speak with your daughter.
19:16Is she in trouble?
19:17I hope not, but the sooner we find her, the sooner this guy gets back behind bars.
19:21Let me get a pen.
19:25Sir, don't get up.
19:27I'm such a chip.
19:27Remind me.
19:29Which one of us gives the orders?
19:31You do, sir?
19:32Yeah.
19:37Dan?
19:38Oh, you work with Emmett, right?
19:40Yes and yes.
19:41Is your misconsciousness any point?
19:46No.
19:47Any pain in your chest?
19:48No.
19:49I threw my back out.
19:51It happens two times a year like clockwork.
19:53Well, I still got to take you to make sure there's nothing else.
19:55So, you're going out with Emmett, right?
19:57Was.
19:58Oh!
19:58Oh, sorry.
19:59We're going to have a break up with you.
20:00You're gorgeous.
20:02Do I really need to be here for this?
20:03No, sir.
20:05I, uh, finished canvassing.
20:07No one got a good look at the tag.
20:08We're going to transport him.
20:10You follow?
20:11No, I have to wait for my TO.
20:13Officer West will take over from here.
20:15Too bad.
20:15Do you want to go out later?
20:19Tonight?
20:20God, yes.
20:20Okay.
20:21Okay.
20:21Great.
20:23Uh, Jackson, we'll give you my number.
20:26Bye.
20:28What are you doing?
20:29What?
20:30A girl can ask a guy out.
20:31A guy that works with your ex.
20:33That is not why I did that.
20:34Mm-hmm.
20:35Oh.
20:36No coming.
20:37Boot.
20:38Let's go.
20:38Not a word about the shop.
20:40Give him my number.
20:41I'll see you.
20:45So, you're my dad, huh?
20:48Mom told me you were a roadie for Matchbox 20.
20:50Yeah.
20:51Better than telling you I was serving 20.
20:54It's more like 40.
20:55How do you know Austin Abasi?
20:57Uh, we're dating a little.
20:59When was the last time you saw him?
21:01I don't know.
21:01A week ago, maybe two.
21:03Is he okay?
21:04He's been kidnapped.
21:06And you're lying to us.
21:07I'm not.
21:08Crime scene techs found your DNA on a beer bottle in Austin's apartment.
21:12That DNA wouldn't have survived a week.
21:13You need to come clean.
21:14Right now.
21:15As Ashley's lawyer, I'm going to advise her not to talk to you until we've conferred.
21:20Okay, that's not going to happen because you're not a real lawyer.
21:22And even if you were, there are rules against family representing family.
21:26Wrong.
21:27I passed the bar.
21:28And as far as that being rules, it's more like guidelines.
21:31And even if they were rules, we're family by blood only.
21:34You do not want him as your lawyer.
21:37He's a nine-time loser.
21:39If you tell them anything without first getting advice of counsel, you're guaranteed to do jail time.
21:44Okay.
21:46He's my lawyer.
21:48Could I have a moment alone with my client, please?
22:00So you're in on it?
22:01Maybe.
22:02Come on, kid.
22:04Snippin' out cons is on the family crest.
22:06Okay.
22:09Austin's parents cut him off.
22:10So we figured if he was kidnapped, his parents would have to pay up.
22:15Okay, that's not the most original idea, but still, if you execute it properly, I guess.
22:20Where is he now?
22:21A friend's apartment in Culver City.
22:24Okay, I'm gonna see you through this.
22:26But you have to insist that I'm with you every step of the way.
22:29They're going to try and separate us.
22:31Okay.
22:32You know, I really can't picture you and Mom together.
22:37You're kidding me.
22:38She was the love of my life.
22:41Officers!
22:48Yeah, what we have here is a victimless crime.
22:52Austin was having a disagreement with his parents about money.
22:55So he faked his own kidnapping?
22:56Not the most original idea.
22:57And not victimless either.
23:00Austin's parents have been going through hell with worry.
23:03Whatever.
23:03They're loaded.
23:06Not a million dollars loaded.
23:08They have been frantically trying to pull money together.
23:10Who said anything about a million?
23:13Austin sent an email asking for a hundred K.
23:15That was delivered yesterday.
23:18And he didn't tell you.
23:20That snake's trying to cut me out.
23:23I'm gonna kill him.
23:23That's my girl.
23:26And as your lawyer, I recommend that you refrain from making any kind of threats.
23:30Even in jest.
23:31Do you know where Austin is now?
23:33Yeah.
23:34Okay.
23:35What?
23:35I...
23:36I don't want to be in handcuffs.
23:38Oh, no one does.
23:38You get used to it.
23:45Austin?
23:47That bastard.
23:48He must have taken the money in the split.
23:50Everybody freeze.
23:54Control 7, item 15.
23:56Update my call to a suspicious circumstance.
23:58I have blood at the location.
24:00And the occupant is missing.
24:01Possible 207.
24:02And I need a unit to escort a prisoner back to Cal Correctional.
24:05Uh, wait a minute.
24:06Who else did you tell about your fake kidnapping plan?
24:08Don't answer that.
24:09Your so-called lawyer does not have your best interest at heart.
24:13He is only looking to extend his time out of prison.
24:15If you actually care about Austin, you'll help us find him.
24:19The only way you're going to stay out of prison is by moving your way up the food chain.
24:24Take us to your boss.
24:25You order takeout?
24:33No.
24:41Don't hurt me.
24:44Police.
24:45What's in the bag?
24:46I don't know.
24:46It's a task fast gig.
24:48Pick it up from A, drop it off at B.
24:50Where was point A?
24:51Car wash on Melrose.
25:01I'll drain a pint of blood every two hours until I get my million bucks.
25:05Oh my God.
25:06Angela, don't know what to congratulate you on first.
25:23Detective or baby?
25:25As long as your president is letting me keep this case, it doesn't matter.
25:28Oh, sorry.
25:29Judge Abbasi already reached out to the SAC personally.
25:32My guys are en route.
25:34We'll take it from here.
25:35You should, uh, go home.
25:36Get some rest.
25:38Put your feet up.
25:40Angela, you're going to be a mom.
25:42Congratulations.
25:43You know, I recently became a parent myself, if you want any tips.
25:46Oscar Hutchinson?
25:47And you must be the daughter, girlfriend, co-conspirator?
25:52And my client.
25:53You can't speak to her alone without me present.
25:55You're a felon and a family member.
25:58Well, we can stand here arguing about my standing.
26:00Or we can say goodbye to LAPD.
26:02Go in, make a deal, catch the kidnapper, and have you home by dinner.
26:05All right.
26:08Let's go.
26:08Both of you.
26:09Sir, you can't trust him.
26:11This is not my first day, officer.
26:14Listen, it was really nice seeing you two again.
26:17And, Nolan, because you're such a good Samaritan, I'm going to help you answer that law class question.
26:21The answer is A, detain all the black guys.
26:23Because, well, that's what cops do.
26:27And, Angela, listen, if you need a birth coach, I just got my doula certification.
26:32And, you know, we can negotiate a really good, nice price.
26:35All right.
26:35Let's go, smart guy.
26:37Good job not killing him.
26:39Thanks.
26:40I'm going to go pack up my stuff.
26:46Yes?
26:46Professor Ryan, it's John Nolan.
26:48Do you have an answer for me?
26:50Not yet.
26:51Am I limited to the answers that you gave me?
26:53Yes.
26:53The thing is, that description isn't reliable.
26:56So, as an officer, I'd have to hone in on the other witnesses.
27:00She hung up on me.
27:02This isn't funny.
27:03I'm sorry.
27:03I need this makeup test.
27:05I know.
27:06I'm going to stop.
27:06I'm going to stop.
27:07Where should we go tonight?
27:09Do you think he likes sushi?
27:10Everybody likes sushi, right?
27:11What?
27:12You disapprove?
27:13You think I'm just dating him to make Emma jealous?
27:16And, yeah, maybe I am.
27:18But he deserves it.
27:19Em, it's...
27:20Will you say something, please?
27:23Look, today's the first time you've talked about Emmett in weeks.
27:26Well, you hate it when I talk about personal stuff.
27:27Yeah, you still do.
27:29But in all those conversations, you haven't said one word about your boyfriend.
27:33What are you saying?
27:35Look, maybe Emmett treated the relationship like it didn't matter because you treated it like it didn't matter.
27:40All right, focus up.
27:47You read the file.
27:48You think Three Eyes is done for the day?
27:49Um, no.
27:54He tagged two police cars, but they're already being repainted, and he got interrupted when he tagged that building.
27:59He'll want to throw up a full tag somewhere that makes a statement.
28:03Exactly.
28:04And we'll be there to catch him.
28:05Eagle Eye.
28:11What?
28:12The nickname I got.
28:15After the shot got tagged under my nose.
28:17But it wasn't my T.O. came up with it.
28:19It was Isabel.
28:21It kind of became her pet name for me.
28:23Aw, that's sweet.
28:25Yeah.
28:28Seven out of 19, falling accident, 8950 South Ridley Drive.
28:33Injuries unknown.
28:35Seven out of 19 responding.
28:41Where's Jackson?
28:42Cab report said officer's down.
28:43He's not answering his cell.
28:44Percy, Jackson's fine.
28:46I got hurt.
28:47He's just getting us a cup of coffee.
28:49What happened?
28:50Trying to chase down the tag or put my back out.
28:53You know you're too old for that.
28:55Follow my lead, take a desk job, pays better.
28:57I hear you've been pushing Jackson toward IA.
29:01We need him.
29:01There's a lot more dugs to weed out.
29:03That's true.
29:04But Jackson's in a unique position to make a difference.
29:08So I think he'll have more of an impact at the academy than IA.
29:11Well, he's my son.
29:12You don't think I know what's best for him?
29:13I know he's your son.
29:14I'm not trying to...
29:16You're gonna have my dad?
29:18I'll come back once you guys are finished planning my career.
29:21Ma'am, don't move.
29:34All right, an ambulance is on its way.
29:35I think it's broken.
29:37Uh, Tim?
29:38Just one second.
29:39Ma'am, can you tell me exactly what happened?
29:40Eagle eyes.
29:41You should look up.
29:42You're three eyes?
29:51What?
29:52No.
29:52You tagged my shop twice.
29:55Technically three times.
29:57Shut up.
29:58It's not as easy as it used to be.
29:59I'm exhausted.
30:05So I get to participate in the prison garden program.
30:09It's three times a week.
30:11Practically smelled of fresh air.
30:13And a case of ginger ale a week?
30:15Name brand.
30:16Not the discount crap.
30:17Fine.
30:19Just tell me who's got Austin.
30:21Where was the proof of life photo taken?
30:23You know, speaking of ginger ale, I'm super dry.
30:25Oh.
30:25And I have an awful lot to tell you.
30:27Fine.
30:28But you're giving it all up when I get back.
30:52You know what we love about you, Oscar?
30:55It's that you're so damn predictable.
31:04Well, you can't blame a lifer for trying.
31:06Shouldn't we have told the FBI?
31:08I text Lopez.
31:09She said we filled him in once Oscar took us to the kidnappers and we made the arrest.
31:12Told you before, I can't betray my client's trust unless we get something in return.
31:16You've got no leverage here.
31:18The FBI is not going to deal with you now.
31:20And if we charge you with obstruction of justice,
31:22the warden's going to take away all of your privileges.
31:25Fine.
31:28But I want a cupcake.
31:29After.
31:30A cupcake?
31:31I heard they've gotten fancy since I went in.
31:34Deal.
31:34Now, what do you know?
31:35Well, according to my daughter, the only other person that knew about the scam was Austin's
31:39drug dealer, Malcolm Green.
31:41Works out of a chop shop in Silmar.
31:42All right, we're going to do some recon, see if you're telling the truth.
31:56No problem.
31:57I'll just hang out here by myself.
31:59Maybe I'll take a nap.
32:00Oh, come on, Oscar.
32:01We've been through far too much for you to pretend like you're not just trying to escape the second we turn our back.
32:05So we got you a babysitter.
32:12That's the guy you want me to watch?
32:13Yep.
32:14Give me your handcuff keys.
32:15What?
32:16So he doesn't trick you into letting him go.
32:18Like that could happen.
32:22Fine.
32:23If you hear gunshots, call in the cavalry.
32:28But do not leave him.
32:30You should tell Oscar about your plans to become a DJ.
32:32Happy to.
32:35Too harsh?
32:36For Oscar?
32:37No.
32:38It's time to send the judge another package.
32:54Go get a pint of blood from the kid.
32:56That's the same as a liter, right?
32:58How should I?
32:59I don't speak metric.
33:00But a pint's definitely less than a quart.
33:02Dude, same as last time.
33:05Come on.
33:05Right?
33:06I don't see Austin, but I think we're running out of time.
33:09These two idiots are going to kill him without meaning to.
33:12Control 7 out of 15.
33:13We have the 207 suspects.
33:14We have exigent circumstances.
33:16We are making entry.
33:18I need code 3 backup.
33:19Notify the supervisor.
33:27I bought it.
33:28I bought it.
33:28I get it.
33:29I get it.
33:29I got it.
33:30I got it.
33:30I'm good.
33:31I'm good.
33:32I get it.
33:32I get it.
33:33I got it.
33:33I got it.
33:34I'm good.
33:35I get it.
33:35I got it.
33:56Whoa.
33:57I've only seen that in movies.
33:59I'm going to buy a Porsche
34:03and a stripper.
34:05Two strippers.
34:06What are you going to do with your money?
34:08Dude, quit it!
34:10He doesn't look so good.
34:12Much better than you.
34:14He's fine.
34:16He doesn't look fine.
34:20Well, I earned more money than I did
34:22last year in that auto thing we did.
34:24Yeah.
34:25Of course.
34:33Must have been a ghost or something.
34:55My grandma told me this story
34:56about this ghost that was haunting toilets.
34:59Grandma?
35:00Really keep you stuck, man.
35:01Out there type of stuff.
35:04Police!
35:05Get down on the ground.
35:06Hand on the ground.
35:07Drop it right now.
35:08Right now, drop it.
35:09Down on your knees.
35:09Get down on the ground.
35:10Down on your knees.
35:12Interlect your fingers.
35:16You got them?
35:17Got them.
35:207-15.
35:22We are code 5.
35:24Seems good for EMTs.
35:2525-year-old male, unconscious,
35:27but breathing.
35:29Heavy blood loss.
35:30Okay, Austin.
35:33You're going to be all right, buddy.
35:34We got help on the way.
35:41You said you were going to make a deal
35:43that I wouldn't see the inside of a jail cell.
35:46Yeah.
35:48I might have lied about that.
35:49You're the worst father ever.
35:53Is there a mug for that?
35:56Oh, hello.
35:58I love a man of his word.
35:59It's going to take a little while to process you.
36:01You're going to want to keep your blood sugar up.
36:03Oh, a cupcake.
36:05Thanks.
36:09I didn't know you had that kind of cruelty in you.
36:12Oh, it's not about that.
36:13See, as parents, that's what we do.
36:15We sacrifice for our children.
36:17Sheriff's department will be here shortly.
36:18Take you back to prison.
36:20I do feel something, you know.
36:23About having a kid.
36:24Knowing the old Hutchinson bloodline
36:26isn't going to die with me.
36:27And yet you still put yourself first
36:29every step of the way.
36:30That's all I know.
36:31I know I'm wasting my breath on this,
36:34but if you really want to improve yourself in prison,
36:37stop taking random degrees
36:39and just take a hard look inside.
36:41If you want to be more than just a cautionary tale
36:43to that girl, you've got a lot of work to do.
36:58So I've got to know.
37:00Why'd you start up again after all these years?
37:03My husband dumped me for his massage therapist.
37:07And I realized I wasted the last seven years of my life.
37:10So what, you wanted to get back at him for leaving you?
37:13No.
37:16I just wanted to feel young again.
37:20You're being charged with a misdemeanor.
37:38You'll have to pay a fine.
37:40Otherwise, you're free to go.
37:42And for what it's worth,
37:43you're still young.
37:45And your husband's an idiot.
37:50Thanks.
38:00Hey.
38:01Oh, hi.
38:03You still on for tonight?
38:05Um,
38:06I didn't have the purest motives
38:09when I asked you out earlier.
38:11You're trying to get back at Emmett.
38:13Isn't it?
38:13Why did you say yes?
38:16Dude keeps beating me at Pictionary.
38:18I could use a win.
38:19So we're being equally petty.
38:21Great.
38:24Look,
38:25the guy broke up with the overtext.
38:28He has this coming.
38:30But if you've changed your mind...
38:32Yeah,
38:33I have.
38:34I want to go out for the right reasons,
38:36not because I'm hurt and angry.
38:39I respect that.
38:39But mark your calendar.
38:42I'm going to ask you out again in two weeks.
38:45Deal.
38:45Everybody says
38:47I knew I'd let you go.
38:51I'll be back again.
38:55Oh.
38:57What?
38:58What?
39:00You called me down here.
39:02No, I didn't.
39:03I did.
39:04Look,
39:06I really appreciate you both
39:08for having such an interest
39:10in my future.
39:11And I know I wouldn't have
39:12these career options
39:13if you hadn't opened the door.
39:15Like,
39:15I have to find my own path.
39:18And
39:18it was way too soon
39:20to know what that is.
39:23I just hope that you both
39:24are okay with me coming to you
39:26for advice
39:26as I
39:27figure things out.
39:30Of course.
39:30Yeah.
39:35But you better come to me first.
39:37I am your father.
39:38He's right.
39:39But he is
39:40a little close to the situation,
39:42so you better check in
39:43with me after.
39:44For more balanced,
39:45the bigger.
39:45Right.
39:47Yes, sirs.
39:49Kidnapping yourself
39:50to get your parents' money?
39:53That is messed up.
39:54Sadly,
39:55I knew
39:55more than a few
39:56Austin Abbas's
39:57growing up.
39:58You know,
39:59I was heard money
39:59could ruin a kid.
40:01I just thought
40:02that was something
40:02rich people said
40:03to keep
40:04poor people
40:05in our place.
40:07I'm gonna call
40:08Patrice tomorrow,
40:09discuss how we
40:10structure the trust
40:11so our kid
40:12doesn't grow up
40:13to be an entitled jerk.
40:15That sounds like a plan.
40:19So are we gonna
40:20talk about Oscar?
40:24When I found out
40:25Oscar was connected,
40:26I fantasized
40:27about tearing him
40:28apart with Bearcats
40:29and then peeing
40:30on what was left.
40:31Then I realized
40:32that saving that kid's
40:33life was the only
40:34thing that mattered.
40:36Oscar just wasn't
40:37worth the effort.
40:38Amen to that.
40:40You know,
40:41your fantasies
40:41are gruesome.
40:42That's not what you
40:43said last night.
40:44Professor Ryan.
40:52Oh, you almost
40:53missed your deadline.
40:54Almost.
40:55So, do you have
40:56an answer to my question?
40:58Yes.
40:58No, actually.
40:59Um, I spent the day
41:01trying to figure out
41:02the answer you
41:02were looking for.
41:03Clearly, the racial
41:04element of the question
41:05wasn't accidental,
41:06so was it all just
41:08a test to see
41:09what I would do
41:10to avoid a feeling
41:11great?
41:12And then I realized
41:13something that gave
41:14me the clarity
41:14that I needed.
41:15The consequences
41:16of doing my job
41:17wrong are too extreme
41:19to just pick an answer
41:21to curry favor
41:22with you.
41:23I can't pick A,
41:24question of the black
41:25men, because that
41:25would just be wrong.
41:26I can't pick B or C.
41:28There's not enough
41:28information.
41:30We both know
41:31what damage a false
41:33arrest can do
41:34to a person's
41:34reputation,
41:35to their psyche.
41:37So, if failing
41:39the answer to the
41:40question means I
41:41don't make up my
41:43exam and get an F,
41:45so be it.
41:48Hmm.
41:52Okay.
41:52You have 45 minutes.
41:58Yes.
42:01Oh, do you mean
42:02right now?
42:03Mm-hmm.
42:04Yeah, okay, that's
42:05for it.
42:07I didn't expect this.
42:09Did they have to work?
42:12John
42:12Nolan.
42:22We'll see you next time.
42:23We'll see you next time.
42:52Damn it.
