00:01Last day of training.
00:03Last day of Tim barking orders.
00:05Last day that they can fire us at a moment's notice.
00:07Last day of them recording every flaw for posterity.
00:10It's kind of bittersweet.
00:12Nope, just sweet. Sorry, sorry.
00:15Guys, stop apologizing.
00:17You guys have finally made it, and I'll be right behind you.
00:20Look, the extra month will fly by. You know it.
00:22Now, is Tim gonna do anything special to memorialize your last shift together?
00:27Not knowingly. You know, when you move on from an important relationship,
00:31there are steps you should take to ensure a healthy parting.
00:35We are going to work through every single one of them.
00:38Uh, how, if he doesn't know you're doing it?
00:40Trickery!
00:41Bye.
00:42That's... yeah.
00:44Who are you gonna ride with today?
00:46No idea. Gray's busy, and Smith is getting a back tattoo.
00:49Yes.
00:50Don't ask.
00:51So we are out of TOs, and I'm guessing finishing my rookie year at the front desk.
00:55Boo!
00:56Boo!
00:58Where's our gear?
00:59Wait.
01:00What?
01:01We started this journey together.
01:03I think we should end it that way. Don't you?
01:05Yeah.
01:06Then let's go.
01:12I thought we were tight.
01:14You did?
01:15Uh, we are. That's... I mean, why? What?
01:17You told your ethics, Professor, she should come for a ride along?
01:21No. We know. We didn't even, uh, discuss it.
01:24But I-I need to pass this class, so it's super important she doesn't get shot today.
01:29No promises. You ride with me, you ride the roller coaster.
01:32Okay, Nyla, I know...
01:33Hi! Good morning!
01:34Good morning.
01:35Uh, Professor Ryan, this is Detective Nyla Harper, my training officer.
01:38I'm told you're gonna be going on a ride along with us today.
01:41I hope that's okay.
01:42I didn't want to put you in an awkward position by asking you,
01:45but your watch commander said that you'd feel cheated if I didn't ride with you, so...
01:48And he was right.
01:51Uh, shall we?
01:52Mm.
01:53So, you, uh, sign all the paperwork that says that we are not liable if you are maimed or killed?
01:59I did. It seemed a bit excessive.
02:01No, it's not. I mean, we will try our best to protect you, but we cannot guarantee your safety.
02:07You will be exposed to all the same dangers that we are.
02:10Well, more farmers die yearly than cops do. I didn't have to sign a liability waiver to go apple picking.
02:16That's because you weren't picking them out of a wood chipper.
02:19Uh, hey, have you ever seen a body camera up close?
02:22No.
02:23Well, they're always running, uh, until we actually need them.
02:26We switch them on, then they start recording, and they go back two minutes so we can catch any of that last-minute action.
02:31Oh, yeah, they're always broken whenever the cops cross the line.
02:34You'd be surprised how many police officers actually want a body cam.
02:39That way, it makes it easier to disprove complaints.
02:42Okay, then you will not mind if I record the ride along myself as a research tool.
02:48No problem.
02:49Just as long as you turn it off when we hit the strip club for the lunch buffet.
02:57She's kidding. That buffet is terrible at that strip club.
03:03Ready to go?
03:04Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, I'm gonna win for you like I know you want me to do.
03:13You got yours on?
03:14Yeah.
03:15It's our last shift together. It's crazy, huh?
03:19Not really.
03:20Come on.
03:21You've been riding shoulder to shoulder for over a year now.
03:24Soon there'll be a new rookie sitting in that seat annoying the crap out of me for 12 hours a day.
03:28So you're not gonna miss riding with me? Not all?
03:31Not all.
03:32It's a job, not happy hour.
03:34Hmm. Denial? Check.
03:37What?
03:38Hmm? Nothing?
03:39No.
03:40No.
03:41No.
03:42Just nights and weekends.
03:43My day job is civil rights litigation.
03:45And then there's lecturing, the writing, the cable news hits.
03:46When do you sleep?
03:47Sleep?
03:48What's that?
03:49Oh, is that what you were doing in my class on Monday?
03:50What?
03:51No.
03:52No.
03:53Sometimes I just, I hold a blink for a really long time.
03:55You sure lying to your teacher is the way to go here?
03:56Actually, now that I hear it out loud, I'd like to revise my answer.
03:57Yeah.
03:58Uh-huh.
03:59So, uh, given how busy you are, why take the time for a right along?
04:04I'm finishing up a book on the future of policing.
04:06What would you say is the biggest challenge you're facing?
04:09Uh, what would you say is the biggest challenge you're facing?
04:12Uh-huh.
04:13Uh-huh.
04:14Uh-huh.
04:15Uh-huh.
04:16Uh-huh.
04:17Uh-huh.
04:18Uh-huh.
04:19Uh-huh.
04:20Uh-huh.
04:21Uh-huh.
04:22Uh-huh.
04:23Uh-huh.
04:24Uh-huh.
04:25Yup.
04:26Uh-huh.
04:27Uh-huh.
04:28Uh-huh.
04:29Uh-huh.
04:30Uh-huh.
04:31Uh-huh.
04:32Uh-huh.
04:33Uh-huh.
04:34Duckers.
04:35Uh-huh.
04:39Uh-huh.
04:40Uh-huh.
04:41Uh-huh.
04:42Uh-huh.
04:44Uh-huh.
04:45Uh-huh.
04:46Uh-huh.
04:47Uh-huh.
04:48Uh-huh.
04:49Uh, jeez.
04:50We were just observing with the71.
04:51I really worried about us to take some news the news day today.
04:54phone. Do you see yourself as my mentor? No, I'm your T.O. It's my job to make sure you're not
05:01dangerously incompetent when you hit the streets without supervision tomorrow. You know, when I was
05:06a rookie, I couldn't wait to get off probation. Oh, I am excited. Believe me. But I also know
05:12the importance of acknowledging your loss when going through something like this. Acknowledging
05:17your loss. What is this, some intro to psych closure BS? It's not BS. It's a widely used
05:24psychological model to help people cope with the end of a relationship. Relationship? Partnership,
05:30mentorship, whatever you want to call it. Look, I don't want to call it anything. It's not like you
05:34won't see me tomorrow at the station. You know, what's there to talk about? A lot. I have a list.
05:40A list. You know, littering is a $250 high. Worth it. Well, we were at denial, but now we've moved
05:56to anger. It's progress. Thank you. He's made out of the office. I mean, not just for today. You could
06:10bounce me from the program after that first day. Tell you my career. You sell for a sandwich when
06:17you're Philippe's. You just had breakfast. You questioning the pregnant lady? No, ma'am. No, ma'am.
06:23What? I mean, you're going to be a mom. And? I don't know. I mean, a lot's happened since we started
06:32out together. I knew my TO would be important in my career, but I don't know. I didn't realize how
06:39important you've been in my life. Lay off the sappy stuff. I'm nauseous enough as it is.
06:48Have you read my word? I have. I actually follow you on social media. Oh, and? I'd make a lot of
06:56the reforms you're pushing for, but some just aren't based in reality. Well, maybe not your reality.
07:03Look, either you want my opinion or you don't. If you are just here to confirm your own point of
07:07view, then I will stop engaging. No, no, no. That's not what I'm looking for. I'm just used
07:11to cops taking my head off any time I suggest changing a status quo. Thank you. You would
07:15be surprised how many cops actually know the system has to change, but just feel powerless
07:19to make it happen. Homeowner set off the alarm accidentally.
07:25A hundred bucks. Put it on my tab. So, you two getting along, huh? My two teachers?
07:30Yeah? We're bonding by making fun of you. Oh, outstanding. Let me get in on that. Have
07:35you noticed how much I've been saying like lately? Child abduction. Suspect is driving
07:42a gold Tacoma truck. Plate number 2, Queen Robert Ida 445. Victim was kidnapped from...
07:48City of Angels Hospital. How old? Five hours.
07:53Here we go. Air 3 is lifting now. I'm 10-9-7. Searching for the suspect vehicle.
08:09A newborn baby girl went missing 20 minutes ago. The hospital is going over the surveillance
08:14footage. Wait, don't all babies get low jack these days? Yeah, it was found in the elevator
08:17and cut off. Who owns the Tacoma? Uh, that would be the father, Jared Young. It's like they're
08:22going through a messy divorce. He was visiting the hospital earlier that day, but security
08:27had him leave. There may have been some kind of threat. So, he went back in and he just
08:30took the baby? Jared's got quite an extensive criminal history here. A lot of narcos, narco
08:34possession, possession of cell. Under the influence? Just the guy you want taking care of your
08:38newborn. Oh, we got the whole city looking for him. We won't get far. So, this baby that
08:42the, uh, whole city is mobilized to find, is she by any chance white? We issue plenty of
08:49amber alerts for children of color as well. Do you have a kid? Daughter. And, uh, you're
08:56sure your daughter would get the same attention as his son? From the media? No. But out here,
09:02we, we look just as hard. Mrs. Young, this is Detective Lopez. I'm out here searching for
09:08your baby. You have to find her. Yes, ma'am. We're doing everything we can, but I need
09:12your help. Is there any place your husband might take her? He lives in Bell Gardens. Yes, ma'am.
09:17We have officers on the way to his apartment now, but if he's not there, where would he
09:21be? He's out buying drugs if he has any money. And if he's not? Jared will do anything to
09:27get a fix, including selling our baby.
09:34I'll pick up two blocks up.
09:35Negative. Texas plates. Five hours old. That poor mother must be going out of her mind.
09:49Let me guess. You think if the parents have properly worked through their separation, this
09:53whole thing could have been avoided? No. Mom needs to get as far away from him as possible.
09:58But I do think that having easier access to counseling and mental health resources could
10:02prevent situations like this. Sure. But most guys still wouldn't go. Yeah, because
10:06we stigmatize mental health, treat it as less important than physical health. It's ridiculous
10:10that they teach sex ed in schools, but not how to be in a relationship. I wish someone taught
10:15me how to be in this one. Oh, so we are in a relationship.
10:20So what's the focus of your book? Uh, reinventing policing with a more limited mandate.
10:26Amen to that. You agree with taking resources away from police?
10:29If it lessens our low, then yes, absolutely. Yeah, we complain about it all the time. Police
10:34have become the catch-all for the city's problems. We're expected to be cops, uh, psychologists,
10:40social workers, teachers, mediators. And they only train us for one of those jobs.
10:45Gold truck. Two cars ahead. That's it.
10:49Control 7, Adam 15. We have eyes on the Amber Alert suspect vehicle heading west on Pico,
10:54passing Westlake. Seven out of 19 inbound on Olympic, passing Ardmore. Seven out of seven
10:59coming west from Wilshire and Rimpal, moving to intercept from the front.
11:02Air 3 responding, heading west from Bell Gardens. ETA to your location. Approximately six minutes.
11:07Can you parallel suspect until I get eyes on? Affirmative. Parallel?
11:11Yeah, we follow on side streets in the alleyways.
11:15Oh, so he doesn't spot you and run. Exactly. Last thing we want is him speeding through traffic
11:19with a baby in the car, especially since there's no wait. He's got an infant car seat in there.
11:22No, we'll just wait till we have enough units, and then we'll box him in.
11:25Intersection ahead. We still have him? Yeah, you better have a car like the head,
11:28but he's speeding up. He might have seen us before we made our turn.
11:33Seven out of 19, Maxwell and Pico, west of Target, waiting for him to pass.
11:37The suspect just went past speed 50 miles an hour. We'll move to parallel on the north.
11:44Copy that. Why don't you set up a roadblock? Roadblocks are considered a lethal measure.
11:48Didn't know that. Yeah, there's a strong chance a desperate driver will ram a roadblock.
11:52Clear. You only use them unless we have no other choice. Watch out, watch out.
11:57I can't see around the truck. Move it, move. I got it after this car.
12:01You see him? No. Well, maybe he turned around and we got stuck.
12:10You said in that 19, we've lost visual. You got eyes on him?
12:13Negative. We haven't reacquired visual.
12:15Where the hell is that airship?
12:17Air 3 is overhead, arriving on scene. Watch the suspect's 20.
12:21We lost visual. Pico east of Maxwell.
12:23If possible, he turned off and headed either north or south.
12:25Copy that. We're going to orbit.
12:26Contact. Suspect vehicle now heading north on Livingston. Repeat, north on Livingston.
12:37Copy on our way.
12:39Speed is approximately 65. Looks like he's heading for the freeway.
12:47Hold on. Suspect has sideswiped another vehicle. He's lost control.
12:50Tell me that wasn't our guy. He just T-C'd into a telephone pole.
12:56Can you see inside the truck, man?
12:59Negative.
13:12Kim!
13:12Police!
13:15Show me your hands!
13:17Where's your daughter?
13:18What?
13:19Keep your hands where we can see him.
13:26No kid. There's no kid in here. There's no kid.
13:28Your baby. Where is he?
13:29At the hospital with her mom.
13:31Then why did you run?
13:32Got him drugs.
13:36If he doesn't have the baby, who does?
13:38Never thought I'd be disappointed if meth head wasn't taking care of a newborn.
13:48I guess there's still plenty of time for the mess of this kid's childhood once we get her back.
13:53If we get her back.
13:56You know, whenever you need Halloween costumes for Lopez Jr., my mom has dozens in storage.
14:02I'm talking cop uniforms for every age.
14:05You never really wanted to be anything else?
14:09Astronaut? Ninja? Ninja astronaut?
14:12I mean, that would be cool, but...
14:15Mm-mm. No.
14:17I guess I just wanted to be my dad.
14:19It was like my way of feeling close to him when he wasn't around.
14:22Is that a lot?
14:24Yeah.
14:24I mean, he was a detective when I was born, trying to make a name for himself.
14:29A lot of long hours.
14:31But you were close.
14:32Yeah, eventually.
14:34And mom was kind of on her own until I was 12.
14:37And that's when he moved up.
14:38We got more stable hours.
14:40Mm-hmm.
14:40I mean, I always loved him, don't get me wrong.
14:45Even when he wasn't around, I have a lot of great memories, you know?
14:50Of course.
14:51You know, you and Wesley are going to be awesome parents.
14:54I know.
14:57It's just, we both get so wrapped up in our cases, we barely make time to have dinner together.
15:03How are we supposed to make time for a kid?
15:05Wesley is loaded.
15:07You get yourself a nanny.
15:08Or three.
15:09So a stranger can raise my child?
15:11Well, I mean, there won't be a stranger when you get to know him, you know?
15:15Look, you are not the first detective to have to balance work with the kid.
15:19Talk to Harper about how she did it.
15:22Harper, can you send three to a backup channel?
15:27Sure, go to 11.
15:28Don't record this.
15:33I need you to give me the reels on something.
15:36How difficult was it to go back to work after Lila was born?
15:39Honestly, I barely remember.
15:41I almost died giving birth, so.
15:44But, uh, that's not going to happen to you.
15:47Giving birth can be a wonderful experience, I've been told.
15:53Definitely get the epidural.
15:55Don't worry, I'm not a lunatic.
15:56I'm thinking of scheduling a C, but I'm worried that the stitches and everything will keep me off work even longer.
16:03I worried about the same thing, but you know what?
16:05I got stitches anyway, just not in my stomach.
16:08Okay, change us back to channel one.
16:10Well, I think I want to hear this.
16:13Tell me the truth.
16:15Am I going to poop myself?
16:17And I'm out.
16:18Wow.
16:20I wish I could say no.
16:22Why can't we just do that Twilight Sleep thing they did back in the 50s?
16:26I asked.
16:27Apparently it is grossly unethical.
16:30Detectives, are you done?
16:33Yes, sir.
16:33We must seem callous, joking while a kid is missing.
16:42No, I get it.
16:42I'm sure it's hard to work these kinds of cases.
16:45Calls involving kids are the worst.
16:47You can't help but think, what if they were mine?
16:49Yeah, I don't have kids, but I feel the same way every time another black kid gets shot by police.
16:59Well, the hospital sent the video of the kidnapping.
17:03You can't see your face.
17:06That is just terrifying.
17:08A stranger snatching your baby when you're not there to protect them?
17:11Don't worry.
17:12I will personally stand to watch over your kid until you leave the hospital.
17:15You better.
17:17Do they have an ID on the kidnapper?
17:18Not yet.
17:19Listen to me.
17:20We're going to find her, all right?
17:23And that baby's going to be fine.
17:25We'll see.
17:32I don't have time for this.
17:33Every minute we waste waiting for an ID on this woman is a minute she could be hurting this kid.
17:37Or worse.
17:38Look, you need to get your head right in case this goes bad.
17:41I'm squared away.
17:42The fact that you just said that means you're not.
17:46Look, you've been lucky on the job so far.
17:50No.
17:50All right.
17:51Sorry.
17:52I came out wrong.
17:54You've been through hell.
17:56Stuff that would have broken a lot of veteran cops.
17:58But a dead kid is different.
18:01A dead kid changes you forever.
18:03I really hope our last shift together doesn't end with that.
18:11Yeah.
18:11Me too.
18:14Okay.
18:15So what's next on your list?
18:16Surround yourself with people who support, value, and energize you, which you may have
18:29to wait until later.
18:30Then reflect on the lessons learned, both the good and the bad, and express gratitude.
18:36Okay.
18:39So what have I taught you that you're grateful for?
18:43Um, hmm.
18:46Not to second guess myself.
18:49Yeah, early on, one look from you could send me into a tailspin.
18:54Plain clothes day.
18:56Mm-hmm.
18:56But I've learned to trust my instincts, even if they go against what you would do, which
19:01will be crucial for undercover work.
19:03Are you serious about being at UC?
19:07Yeah.
19:09Why?
19:09Do you not think I'm tough enough?
19:11No, it's not about being tough.
19:13I mean, look, you're as tough as they come.
19:15It's just, you're sensitive.
19:20You are!
19:21Look what happened with Tamara.
19:23You gave her your car for crying out loud.
19:26And today, today, this whole need to relive the last year.
19:30Talk about our feelings.
19:31I happen to think that caring about people connecting with them is what makes me a good
19:36cop.
19:37It does.
19:38Just not a good use signal.
19:40Look, to work undercover, you have to be able to lie to someone's face, make them believe
19:45you're their best friend, and then stab them in the back.
19:48I just don't think you have that killer instinct.
19:54Ouch.
19:56I'm sorry.
19:57But it's better you hear it now.
19:59You're right.
20:07And I appreciate your honesty.
20:10You always tell me the truth, no matter how painful it's going to be.
20:14And you deserve the same from me.
20:20I've been struggling with being honest with you all day.
20:26I've been hiding behind this stupid closure checklist, trying to get up the courage to tell
20:31you something.
20:32I have feelings for you.
20:45I've been through a lot this year.
20:53I mean, you saved my life.
20:56And I didn't want to say anything before, because I didn't want to put you in a weird
21:01position.
21:02But now, I mean, I think, I think the reason why you're so protective of me, and why you
21:10don't want me to be an undercover cop is because, because you have feelings for me, too.
21:21Lucy.
21:21No, listen.
21:23I know it's complicated.
21:24You're my TO, and you're responsible for me.
21:28I know that you would never cross that line, but starting tomorrow, I guess, you're not.
21:37And I...
21:44First of all, I would just like, thank you.
21:51Uh, you're...
21:53You're...
21:55You see, I'm, I'm flattered.
21:58I am.
22:01You're a great girl.
22:03Woman.
22:05Woman.
22:05And I...
22:07Listen.
22:08Are you kidding me?
22:24Are you kidding me?
22:25Wait, I'm sorry.
22:26Are you sorry?
22:27Wait, just, wait.
22:28Light your face.
22:29Check.
22:30Make you think I've fallen for you?
22:32Double check.
22:33Aw, and stab you in the back when you think we're best friends.
22:37Triple check.
22:38Look at me in the face.
22:39And tell me, you don't think I have the killer instinct to do undercover work.
22:44With me in my face.
22:45Look at me in the face.
22:46All right.
22:47All right.
22:48You're fine.
22:49You're fine.
22:50Mm-hmm.
22:51It's weird now, isn't it?
22:52Nope.
22:53I was just making a point, it...
22:55And you're undermining it by feeling guilty.
23:02It's weird now, isn't it?
23:05Nope.
23:07I was just making a point.
23:09And you're undermining it by feeling guilty.
23:18You're out of your mind.
23:20You want to try the Camden experiment in Los Angeles.
23:23I'm sorry, what's the Camden experiment?
23:25Fire all police officers, make them reapply for their jobs.
23:28Oh, just that?
23:29Well, you're both good cops.
23:32You'll be back on the force in no time.
23:34But running new background checks on every single officer,
23:37most especially combing through their social media posts,
23:39that'll get rid of most of the problem.
23:41We'd be coming back to a gutted force.
23:43I mean, you would be down 10%, maybe 20,
23:47but you would be coming back to a better force.
23:50And what about the kid that goes missing the day we're all fired?
23:53I mean, it wouldn't happen overnight.
23:55It would happen gradually, in stages.
23:57But without major action, things will never get better.
24:037-man-15, we have a possible suspect ID on Amber Alert.
24:06Last name's the same, first name Rita.
24:09Suspect's husband called 911.
24:11Make contact to take his statement.
24:13Address is being sent to your box.
24:15Copy that.
24:15We got it on our way.
24:16Yeah, if she reaches out, please, please, please, please call me.
24:25Okay.
24:26Yeah, no, I gotta go.
24:30Mr. Sassane, I'm Detective Harper.
24:33This is Officer Nolan.
24:34I understand that your wife, Rita, was here with the baby?
24:37Yeah, I don't know where she is.
24:40I tried calling everyone that I know.
24:43I tried to stop her from leaving, but she was holding that baby, and it was just so little.
24:48I know.
24:49They can look so fragile at that age.
24:51Tell us about your wife.
24:53Is there anything that could have precipitated this?
24:55You don't know?
24:56We lost our daughter, Casey, this morning to Sid's.
25:03Rita went into the nursery to check on her, and then I heard screaming, so I ran in, and
25:09she was so still, so cold.
25:14I'm so sorry.
25:15Sir, how old was she?
25:17Two months.
25:19That's why your wife was at the hospital today?
25:21Yeah, we raised Casey to the emergency room, hoping that they could do something, but it
25:25was too late.
25:27And then there was so many questions and forms, and it took me a while to realize that Rita
25:35had left.
25:36She wasn't answering herself, so I thought maybe she came home, but she wasn't here, and
25:41then she just showed up like nothing had happened, and she was just holding this little baby and
25:48calling her Casey and saying that everything had been a big mistake.
25:52Okay.
25:52Okay, we're going to have to initiate child death protocol, treat the police like a crime
25:57scene, notify homicide, the district attorney, and CPS.
26:01Wait, wait, wait, wait.
26:01We didn't kill our daughter.
26:03It was Sid's.
26:04Yes, sir.
26:05I understand.
26:06I'm not saying that we believe that you harmed your child, but we do have protocols we have
26:09to follow.
26:10Yes, sir.
26:10It's a hard fact is what most people consider to be Sid's is actually accidental suffocation.
26:17It was off bedding or a toy.
26:19Right now, if we have to focus on your wife, is there anywhere you think she might have gone?
26:24I don't know.
26:25I've reached out to everyone I can think of, but she's not really herself right now.
26:29Has she been depressed lately?
26:31Yeah.
26:32I mean, she hasn't been eating or sleeping.
26:34The doctor said she had PPD, but Rita refused any help.
26:38Has she been drinking a lot?
26:40Any drugs or medication?
26:42No.
26:42The doctor prescribed antidepressants, but Rita wouldn't take them.
26:45I'm just so scared.
26:46Thank you, sir.
26:47Okay.
26:48Please don't hurt her.
26:50She's not herself right now.
26:51You have to promise me that you won't hurt her.
26:53Please.
26:54Please.
27:07Updated Amber Alert.
27:09New suspect vehicle is a green Ford Fiesta.
27:11License plate 3 Paul Charles Ida 026.
27:15Suspect is Rita Cizane, 31-year-old white female who lost her baby to Sid's.
27:24This case is all the nightmares in my closet combined.
27:26I know.
27:27I'm sorry.
27:28How am I ever going to let my kid out of my sight?
27:31With all the things we see on the job, the things I know about people?
27:34Look, the things we see are outliers.
27:37Look, every day we show up on people's worst day.
27:40We see the exception, not the rule.
27:42I know that up here, but...
27:45Look, whether the kid is with you or Wesley or Nanny, they'll be fine.
27:50Okay?
27:50It's just so different from the way I grew up.
27:54Wesley was raised by a nanny.
27:56But when my mom went to work, she put me in the back room and the other women would check in on me.
28:02Can't exactly drop off Lopez Jr. and holding every morning.
28:06Oh, no.
28:07Smitty is surprisingly maternal.
28:10That is the most horrifying idea I've ever heard.
28:13And I want it to be a reality show so bad.
28:16I would watch the hell out of that.
28:17Rita is negative on any previous 5150 holds and there are no registered firearms in her name.
28:24If this woman's doctor couldn't get through to her, how will you?
28:26I mean, this woman is in crisis.
28:28She needs a psychiatrist.
28:29Yeah, but the baby needs a cop.
28:30The honest truth is we don't have enough information to know what we're dealing with.
28:34But that's every call.
28:36It's a constant struggle to figure things out before it's too late.
28:397 out of 19.
28:43Go to Channel 9.
28:44Go for 7 out of 19.
28:46Did you study postpartum depression in your psych major?
28:49Yeah.
28:50PPD is fairly common.
28:51Affects one in eight new moms.
28:53In most cases, they feel tired, alone, guilty.
28:56Some feel a lack of attachment and then guilt for not feeling attached.
28:59Some are overwhelmed by paranoia, visions of horrible things happening to their own child.
29:07I see Rita turn down treatment.
29:10That tells me she's probably dealing with shame, trying to cope alone, isolating.
29:15Now add to that the trauma of finding her child unresponsive.
29:17That could precipitate a mental break.
29:20If it's an extreme case of PPD, which is rare, she could be thinking about harming herself or a baby.
29:26Tim, Green Fiesta.
29:27Late to match.
29:27That's our car.
29:28Nolan, we found Rita's car 21000, block of Manningham.
29:32On our way.
29:38Control 7, Adam 19.
29:39We've located the Fiesta from the revised Amber Alert.
29:4321000, block of Manningham.
29:44No sign of suspect or child.
29:47It's still hot.
29:50She must have just ditched it.
29:51Hey, you looking for the driver?
29:53Yeah, you see where she went?
29:55Nah.
29:55I was walking by when she parked on the curb.
29:57How long ago?
29:58About five minutes.
29:59Enough time for Butch and I to circle the block.
30:01Did she have a baby with her?
30:02No idea.
30:03I just watched her totally demolish that parking spot.
30:06Reminded me of my ex-wife.
30:08Yes, sir.
30:08Please call us if you remember anything else.
30:10Okay.
30:10Control 7, Adam 19.
30:11I got the vehicle unoccupied.
30:13This is a suspect here less than five minutes ago.
30:15She's on foot.
30:16We need backup in an airship.
30:18Secure a 10-block radius for a grid search.
30:23I don't like this.
30:24She wouldn't have abandoned the car unless she stopped for a reason.
30:27Odds art won't be a good one.
30:28We've got to find her fast.
30:29This is crazy.
30:35There's no way we find her and the baby in time.
30:37We've got multiple units and an airship searching.
30:39We will find them.
30:40How?
30:41They could be anywhere.
30:41No.
30:42On foot with a newborn and a five-minute head start, she's definitely within our grid.
30:46Someone will have seen her.
30:47We just pray we find her before she does something rush.
30:50Up on the right.
31:00Up on the right.
31:05Not her.
31:06Can I make a suggestion?
31:12Of course.
31:13Would it be helpful to have Rita's husband brought down here for when she's found?
31:18It could be dangerous.
31:20We don't know what the situation was like at the house.
31:22And even if the baby's death truly was accidental, there could have been marital issues that added to Rita's PPD.
31:28We'd be introducing a wild card to an already tenuous situation.
31:31So it's all on you?
31:32I mean, no matter what you find when you get to her, you have to be ready to deal with it?
31:36What if you make a mistake?
31:38We have to live with it.
31:40If we can.
31:42All units, Air 3 has eyes on the suspect.
31:45Fourth Street Bridge, repeat.
31:47Fourth Street Bridge.
31:49She has the baby.
31:50She's standing in the railing.
31:51Possible jumper.
31:52Repeat.
31:53Possible jumper.
31:54Here we go.
31:55Control, advise, fire.
31:56We have a possible jumper on Fourth Street Bridge.
31:58See if they have a crash pad available.
32:00We'll also need R, A, and backup units.
32:02Go too high.
32:17Maybe I should stay back.
32:19It's up to you, but a friendly face, not in uniform, might actually calm the situation.
32:24How do you want to play this?
32:25You go talk to her.
32:26Are you sure?
32:27Yeah, I'll step in if I need to.
32:31Why Nolan?
32:34He has a way of connecting with people in crisis situations.
32:38Hi, Rita.
32:40I'm John.
32:43How do you know my name?
32:44Ethan told me he's very worried about you.
32:47I'm fine.
32:50Who's that you got there?
32:52Casey?
32:53Who's this?
32:54Casey?
32:56Casey looks a little bit cold.
32:58Why don't we bring her inside off the bridge?
33:00No.
33:01She's fine with her mom.
33:02Do you mind if I just make sure?
33:05Stay back.
33:06Okay.
33:07Yeah, I'll stay back.
33:08We can just talk.
33:09How's she doing?
33:19It's touch and go.
33:20What do you need?
33:21Keep them back.
33:22We don't want to spook them.
33:24I know it can feel isolating being a parent to a newborn.
33:27She's not looking at the baby.
33:32She's trying to convince herself that it's her baby she's holding.
33:35Yeah.
33:36Deep down inside, she knows it's not.
33:38What happens when she figures out the truth?
33:40It's hard to say for sure.
33:41It could break the spell or it could send over the edge, literally.
33:45Control, what's the ET on fire?
33:46Wait, for a minute.
33:48Might as well be two hours.
33:49Are you thirsty?
33:52Nolan.
33:54Can I talk to her?
33:55Hey, Rita, I'm going to introduce you to my friend Angela, okay?
33:58Okay.
34:00Hi, Rita.
34:01I'm here to help.
34:03Is this Casey?
34:05Yes.
34:07I love that name.
34:09My fiance and I can't agree on a name for our baby.
34:12How did you choose?
34:14I don't know.
34:16When she was born, she just looked like a Casey.
34:21How far along are you?
34:23Fourteen weeks.
34:24I'm already scared about giving birth.
34:27The pain.
34:28Don't worry about the pain.
34:31Once they put your baby in your arms
34:33and you look down into those beautiful eyes,
34:37it was all worth it.
34:39I heard all newborns have blue eyes.
34:42Not Casey.
34:45Dark brown right from the start.
34:48Most amazing head of hair.
34:51I hope if I have a daughter, she's born with hair.
34:54My cousin's little girl,
34:55she was bald for like the first 18 months.
34:59Everyone thought she was a boy.
35:00I love putting Casey's hair in little pigtails.
35:04She always fights me, but she looks so cute.
35:08Rita, can you do something for me?
35:12Can you look at Casey?
35:14Just look in those pretty brown eyes.
35:19Please, Rita.
35:20I need you to look in her eyes.
35:22It's not Casey, is it?
35:38Come on.
35:40Here.
35:41I got her.
35:43I'll get her back to her mother, okay?
35:44Okay.
35:49Tell her I'm sorry.
35:52Thank you, Rita.
35:56It was a very brave thing you did,
35:57and now I need you to come with me, okay?
36:01My baby died.
36:03I know.
36:04I'm so sorry.
36:08Come on.
36:10Come on.
36:14Mom!
36:17Mom!
36:20Mom!
36:20Mom!
36:20Mom!
36:22Mom!
36:24Mom!
36:32Well, thank you for today.
36:33This is an experience I will not forget.
36:36Well, we should schedule another one of these little ride-alongs so that we can continue the conversation.
36:42No, that won't be necessary.
36:43the book's already written isn't it i sent it to my publisher last week what then what was today
36:52about that just an anecdote for the book tour no i didn't know the day was going to end up the way
36:56it did but how do you write a book about policing without having seen it up close oh i have seen it
37:01believe me today may have been my first ride along but it was not my first time sitting in the back
37:05seat of a cop car i see but if you're going to fix an engine don't you think it would be helpful
37:09to look under the hood that is a flawed analogy officer nolan because a car is not actively
37:13trying to keep you from fixing it excuse me look i get that the path to real change seems almost
37:24impossible i mean police departments are pros at circling the wagons when public opinion turns
37:29against them but i promise you the only way things really will change is if cops get on board i agree
37:38the cops only act when activists make so much noise they cannot be ignored like in camden look
37:45you're talking to two police officers who would like to see things change and we're not the only
37:50ones at the station that feels this way i just think that maybe you could benefit from some of our
37:57insights all right you sold me great i'll tell sergeant gray i'm sure he'd love to be part of the
38:09conversation oh thank you and thank you both for the ride along i will see you in class looking forward
38:16i think that went well all things considered yeah yeah no she's definitely going to give you an a
38:25you think no she is going to make you earn it in class like the rest of her students
38:30fair enough yeah you any plans for the rest of the night hugging my daughter until she is sick of
38:35it and then hugging her some more sounds nice nolan i'll see you tomorrow all right sir wow how'd it
38:43go with professor ryan good i think she's going to be calling you to talk about uh police before
38:48for her book you pointed my way to get back at me for the ride along no sir no i just know how
38:55committed you are to making things better even if it does mean having to admit you're wrong to do it
39:00oh i'm sorry when was i ever wrong well nothing comes to mind offhand i guess there was that one
39:10time you said if i succeeded your house would be flooded with middle-aged losers looking for an
39:15eat pray love path to reinvention i wrote it down you haven't succeeded yet officer no one yes sir
