The Rookie Season 8 Episode 2
Transcript
00:00Hard to say goodbye?
00:07So much of my life happened here.
00:11All those years with Tamara, with Jackson, and now you.
00:20I feel like every important thing in my adult life happened in here.
00:23But now you're emerging from this chrysalis and becoming a beautiful butterfly.
00:28It's too much.
00:32No, it's perfect. You're perfect.
00:39Sorry, am I really?
00:41No, no, we're just getting a slow start.
00:42Sorry, come on in.
00:44Hey, well, you can put some of your stuff in my room for now.
00:47Oh, that's all I have.
00:48What? Are you kidding?
00:49No, Carl Life is all about minimalism.
00:52But if you have anything you want to leave behind, feel free.
00:55You know, I mean, Tim has a bed. Do you really need to bring yours?
00:58What?
01:01Sorry.
01:01Could you actually just, um, put that back?
01:06You are welcome to come visit any time you want.
01:10Yes.
01:10Take care of this place for me.
01:12This is so gross. I don't even want to put this on my chair.
01:22I'm calling it. There's not enough dry cleaning in the world.
01:27Why did that idiot have to throw his gun in the sewer?
01:29I know, as if murder wasn't bad enough, he had to go and ruin my favorite boots.
01:33What's that smell?
01:35That is the sweet aroma of a closed case.
01:39It smells like industrial waste.
01:41You know, sometimes I wonder what I'm still doing here.
01:43I'm rich, you know, like really rich.
01:46I don't need any of this.
01:48What are you going to do, huh?
01:49Retire, have lunch at the country club every day?
01:53I'd also do Pilates and see books and go shopping and travel.
01:59Being the boss isn't just about getting the work done.
02:02You got to play a smart political game.
02:04I know. I have filled in for you before.
02:07A day here or there is not the same.
02:10Tim, you are the watch commander now.
02:14No acting, no interim.
02:17You're him.
02:17Now, problem solving is never ending.
02:23Memos pile up fast.
02:24If you don't have a system, you'll fall behind.
02:26Understood.
02:27Um, yeah, that's it.
02:29Any questions?
02:29No, I'm good.
02:31All right.
02:34That's my desk.
02:35Right.
02:37Sorry, it's going to take some getting used to.
02:40Um, so if you need anything...
02:41I know where the task force office is.
02:44Good luck.
02:47Hey, I don't want to make you late for roll call,
02:50but girlfriend Lucy has a couple of things she'd like to say to you
02:54before you start at your shift.
02:55So, good luck.
02:57You've earned this, and you've got this.
03:01Girlfriend Lucy?
03:03Yes.
03:04Well, technically, I guess it's live-in girlfriend Lucy now, so...
03:07Technically, I think you have to be fully unpacked
03:09before we can call you then.
03:11But that's not the point.
03:12Either way, L-I-G-F Lucy is officially clocking out,
03:16and Sergeant Chen is taking over.
03:18This is weird.
03:20Maybe.
03:20But our jobs are too important to let our relationship interfere.
03:24We really need to be professional.
03:27Okay.
03:27Well, uh, I appreciate L-I-G-F Lucy's kind words.
03:33I will tell her if I see her.
03:35No, you can tell her.
03:36Okay.
03:39First day as roving supervisor.
03:42Nervous?
03:42Oh, no.
03:43Nothing could be more challenging than working with the dream team, so...
03:46At least on night shift, your boyfriend wasn't a watch, Commander.
03:49Wow.
03:50I do have a good plan for dealing with that, though.
03:52It's strict compartmentalization.
03:55Sounds unhealthy.
03:56What?
03:56No, I think it's good.
03:58Clear boundaries, and no confusion.
04:00See you at roll call.
04:02So, any advice for dealing with your OTO?
04:05Nolan's tricky.
04:06He seems like the nicest person in the world,
04:08but he can lay down the law.
04:10Don't take him for granted.
04:11I understood.
04:14Hey.
04:15Hey.
04:16It is so weird seeing Tim in Gray's office.
04:19It feels like everything's changing all at once.
04:22Tim's the new Gray.
04:22I'm the new Tim.
04:24Miles is the new Selena.
04:25So, who am I?
04:27You're just Nolan.
04:28We have a number of changes today.
04:45First, Nolan will take over training Officer Penn.
04:48Finally got him straightened out, so try not to mess it up.
04:51I'll do my best.
04:52But don't do your best.
04:53Do my best.
04:54Second, Sergeant Chen is taking over as roving supervisor.
04:57And finally, in T-minus 36 hours,
05:02the President of the United States arrives in Los Angeles.
05:05Sorry, I think I'm coming down with something.
05:10Probably just an allergy.
05:12It is an honor to host the President in our fair city.
05:14And we will ensure that his visit is safe and productive.
05:17A Secret Service advance team lands shortly,
05:19and they'll be operating out of our station for the next 48 hours.
05:21Let's show them how real law enforcement is done.
05:25Copy?
05:25Copy.
05:26Yes, sir.
05:26Dismissed.
05:27Sergeant Chen, a minute.
05:29Yep.
05:29Okay, this right here.
05:33This is the current Department Bible on presidential visits.
05:35Wow.
05:36So don't lose it?
05:37Don't even joke about losing it.
05:39Okay.
05:41Oh, wow.
05:43That's really intricate.
05:44Yeah.
05:45Apparently, this President guy is pretty important.
05:47Look, I've been coordinated with the Secret Service for the last month.
05:49The only thing left to lock down is the motorcade route.
05:53And since you're a watch commander now, it falls to me, right?
05:56Okay.
05:57Correct.
05:57This is not as simple as getting a President from point A to point B.
06:00The route needs to comply with all Secret Service protocols.
06:02My recent proposal is in there.
06:04We're just waiting for a sign-off on a few items.
06:06Am I locked into your plan?
06:07No.
06:07If you think you can do better, feel free.
06:09But it would be a heavy lift on your first day.
06:11And the rethink can't get in the way of your other duties.
06:13So if you were me, stick to the current plan.
06:16Got it.
06:17Okay.
06:18So if I do lose it...
06:20Oh, I'm joking.
06:23Gray would have thought that was funny.
06:24Doubt it.
06:25Jen, um...
06:27Yes.
06:28Roll call was okay, right?
06:32Speaking as Sergeant Chen.
06:34Because Lucy has left the building.
06:35Yes, I remember.
06:36You were maybe, like, a tad too gruff.
06:38They're grown-ups.
06:39I'm not going to coddle them.
06:40No, I totally agree.
06:40It's just, you know, Gray would always end on a good note.
06:43Be safe out there.
06:44Okay.
06:45Well, that was his thing.
06:46You know, I need to find my own style.
06:49I know.
06:51And you will.
06:54Every T.O. rookie relationship is unique.
06:57As long as it's based in respect, we shouldn't have any problems.
07:00So, what is next in your Rookbook checklist?
07:02Conservating and informing.
07:03Okay.
07:04But shouldn't that wait until after the circus comes to town tomorrow?
07:07Every day's a circus in Los Angeles.
07:09Part of your training is going to be multitasking.
07:11I assume you've already started cultivating a list of potential CIs?
07:14Oh, yes, sir.
07:14Our top candidate is a high-end sex worker I helped out a few weeks back.
07:18Good instincts.
07:18But I wouldn't start with her.
07:21A CI cop relationship is complicated on a good day without the emotional complexities that her profession might bring.
07:27All right.
07:28Well, what about Dave Cosby?
07:30His garage does a lot of work on cars for the southern front.
07:32How long has he been sober?
07:34A couple months.
07:35Not nearly long enough.
07:36All right.
07:38Fast Andy.
07:40Fast Andy.
07:41Now, he has good connections.
07:43But he's not that bright.
07:46I'm not looking for a financial advisor.
07:48Most criminals are dumb.
07:49Right.
07:50But the CI needs to be smart enough to be able to maintain a lie.
07:53Yeah, I know that.
07:54I've recruited informants before back in Texas.
07:57Okay.
07:58It's your call.
07:59I'm only here for guidance.
08:00If you think Fast Andy is your guy, let's go recruit him and see how that goes.
08:03I'm not buying it.
08:05Kids in self-care all day, every day.
08:08I think you'd get bored.
08:10So, I'll start a business.
08:11I'll hire my BFF to run it with me.
08:15What kind of business?
08:16Harper.
08:17Lopez.
08:18Bradford.
08:19Good to see you.
08:20All right.
08:20Agent Butler.
08:21This is Sergeant Chen.
08:22She's taking over my old position.
08:23Protectors Harper and Lopez have volunteered to help you run down threats.
08:26I don't remember volunteering.
08:28Me neither.
08:29This is my right hand.
08:31Agent Kevin Kelvin.
08:32I'm sorry.
08:32Kevin?
08:33Kevin Kelvin?
08:34My parents are fans of alliteration.
08:36Who isn't?
08:36Here's the watch list.
08:38As you know, most of them are cranks.
08:39But with POTUS landing tomorrow, we need to make sure that there's a job.
08:41There's no signs of escalation.
08:43Major life events, weapon purchases.
08:44I know what escalation looks like.
08:46Of course you do.
08:47Yeah.
08:47My apologies.
08:48You want us to start at the top of the list?
08:50No.
08:50They're an order of assessed threat.
08:51We'll take the most worrying.
08:53Why don't you start around 20?
08:56Sure thing.
08:57Start at 20?
09:02He might as well have just said, waste your entire day tugging a mouth breather.
09:05What I'm saying, if we work for ourselves, we wouldn't have to jump through anybody else's
09:09hoops.
09:10Doing what?
09:11Well...
09:12All right, so we have narrowed it down to private investigation firm or spa resort.
09:19Two solid choices, and we've only been thinking on it for three waste of time door knocks.
09:23Who's lucky number four?
09:24Jerry Hudson, 34, gun enthusiast, posts under the username six separate tyrannis414, and
09:32threats to the president are varied in many.
09:36Mr. Hudson, LAPD, we have a few questions for you.
09:44Angela?
09:45Jerry Hudson, LAPD, come out with your hands up.
10:15We have a few questions for you.
10:45Impressive and terrifying.
10:54Everything's labeled.
10:55Makes it easy to see what's missing.
10:57What is most troubling is sniper riffle.
11:00I think it means rifle.
11:02I think his spelling is the least of our problems.
11:04Now, it is important that you be completely clear with your CI.
11:15That's a delicate balance.
11:16You want to motivate your CI to cooperate, but at the same time, you can't keep them out of
11:20jail.
11:20You can't even promise to be lenient.
11:22I'm not the DA.
11:23Got it.
11:24Andy, it's good to see you.
11:26Thanks for taking the time.
11:26No problem.
11:27I got to make this quick, though, because my boss sees all over me about the business
11:29I have with the money.
11:30I mean, how am I supposed to know Obama's not on the 100?
11:34Those fakes can be tricky.
11:35Exactly.
11:36So, what's up?
11:38I have a business proposition.
11:39You've got connections on your side of the law.
11:41I've got connections on my side of the law.
11:43What do you say we work together?
11:44You want me to snitch?
11:45Nah, you don't have to tell me anything you don't want to, but if you hear something
11:48you want to pass along, hit me up.
11:50How much is it worth to you?
11:51Well, let's not focus on the money.
11:52So, nothing?
11:53Look, LAPD's budget is limited, but the real benefit is our relationship.
11:58You help me, I help you.
12:00I mean, how?
12:01We can discuss that.
12:02So, let's discuss it now.
12:067 out of 15, detectives requesting 10-21 for assignment.
12:11Copy, calling shortly.
12:12Look, you murdered someone, I can't help you, right?
12:15But smaller offenses, I have some leeway.
12:17Okay, I can see the value in that.
12:19Okay.
12:20All right, we gotta go.
12:23Here's my card.
12:24The cell is on there.
12:26Thanks, man.
12:27Hey, you don't want a pop before your leave?
12:29I'll just open a bottle of vodka.
12:30We don't drink on a job.
12:32Yeah, me neither.
12:33Yeah.
12:37What?
12:38Nothing?
12:40You happy with how that went?
12:41Yes, sir.
12:42Now it's up to Andy.
12:45How am I supposed to make sure POTUS is never 10 minutes away from a hospital?
12:517 out of 300, we question supervisor on Blix and Hortense, priority x-ray.
12:567 out of 300, responding.
12:57Okay.
13:03Okay.
13:04Okay.
13:07Hey.
13:17Must be bad if the watch commander came out.
13:18Not good.
13:19Heavily armed suspect on the Secret Service watch list is in the wind.
13:21What exactly is this guy's history with the president?
13:24Cyber threat team flagged Hudson a year ago.
13:25He was posting about revolution, rooting out to hear any all-standard fare.
13:29About six months ago, he started demanding a meeting with the president, sending handwritten
13:32letters directly to the White House.
13:34We'll need copies of those letters.
13:35I'll send you copies of our reports.
13:37Not the reports, the originals.
13:38I can assure you our analysts are very thorough.
13:40No doubt, but I insist.
13:42Just say yes.
13:44Fine.
13:45But I want every available officer out looking for this guy.
13:47Okay.
13:48Absolutely.
13:49Sir, you go.
13:51You'll have all available resources in full coordination with our divisions.
13:54Good.
13:56I want to embed Agent Kelvin with your team.
13:58Yeah, no problem.
13:59We can do that for you.
14:00Officer Juarez?
14:03Agent Kelvin's going to ride with you.
14:04He's going to help question Hudson's family members.
14:06Let's go.
14:06At what point do you cancel the president's visit?
14:11We are nowhere near that point.
14:13For all we know, this guy could be out on a hunting trip.
14:15I know that this is high-level stuff.
14:18This is my everyday.
14:19So let's just chase down the bad guy and check him off the list.
14:24I'm just going to say it.
14:25Not a fan.
14:26That's twice.
14:27It felt like he defaulted talking to Tim, right?
14:28Am I crazy?
14:29No.
14:29I don't think he meant anything by that.
14:31We've worked together before.
14:32He's just comfortable with me.
14:33Mm-hmm.
14:33All right.
14:34I'll go talk to him.
14:34No.
14:35No.
14:35No, that definitely is worse.
14:37It's fine.
14:38We eat ingrained misogyny for breakfast.
14:41Lopez just sent details on our suspect, Jerry Hudson.
14:45She wants us to talk to Jerry's coworkers at Third Street Surplus.
14:48Copy that.
14:50That Lopez again?
14:51Fast-handed.
14:52He's got a lead already?
14:54Not exactly.
14:55It's mostly memes.
14:57Oh, this one's not a meme.
14:58He wants to know if I can track down a...
15:01Girl he once dated, she was smoking hot.
15:03What if she's gotten fat?
15:05Never mind.
15:05He's not interested.
15:09You're an Aries?
15:10Oh, yeah.
15:11It was a gift.
15:13I'm a Cancer.
15:14Of course.
15:15And I bet you're a Gemini ascending.
15:17You're good.
15:18I dabble.
15:20But I've learned to downplay it at work.
15:22Oh, me too.
15:23Everyone is so judgmental of New Age spirituality.
15:26How long have you been in the Secret Service?
15:30I joined right out of college.
15:32Let me guess.
15:33You watched in the line of fire at an impressionable age?
15:36Not exactly.
15:37Oh.
15:39I don't know you well enough yet.
15:40Oh, come on.
15:43This shop is a safe space.
15:45Here, I'll go first.
15:46I believe the reason why tarot works is because it's connected to the non-linearity of time.
15:55So the tarot isn't sending you a message.
15:58You are sending yourself a message from the future by influencing the cards.
16:02I have never thought about it that way before.
16:05That makes a lot of sense.
16:06I know.
16:07So, what made you want to protect the president?
16:12I had all these dreams when I was a kid.
16:15Real vivid.
16:17And they had all these historical details that I just couldn't possibly know any other way.
16:21Like from a past life?
16:23Yeah.
16:24And I realized I was Abraham Lincoln.
16:27Reborn.
16:28Like Abraham Lincoln Lincoln?
16:31That's the one.
16:33Well, that's why you joined the Secret Service.
16:35to stop what happened to you from happening to another president.
16:40It's not what I put on my application, but yeah.
16:44Well, that's amazing.
16:46Okay.
16:477 Adam 13, EMT report triggered Arbolo.
16:49Suspect Jerry Hudson was just taken to St. Stephen Hospital.
16:52You're the closest unit.
16:53Control, show us responding.
16:59Hey, did you just bring in Jerry Hudson?
17:01Yeah, he was in a single car accident.
17:02Lost control in an intersection, hit a light pole.
17:04We need to talk to him.
17:05He's being triaged in baseball.
17:08He just took off.
17:09Call security and tell them to lock down the hospital.
17:10Any chance he's armed?
17:12I did a pretty furrow exam.
17:14If there was a gun, I would have felt it, but there was an empty knife sheet.
17:17Okay.
17:177 Lincoln 13, I need additional units to St. Stephen Hospital for at-large suspect Jerry Hudson.
17:24Description to follow.
17:25Brown hair, blue jeans, white shirt, blood on his face and neck from a head injury.
17:29What happened to his car?
17:30They were hooking it up to go to the in-pound lot when I left.
17:47Half a mile on foot with a head injury.
17:51I bet we beat him here.
17:52You'd lose that bet.
17:577 Adam 15, eyes on Hudson.
17:59We need backup at Mid-City.
18:00Good night.
18:22Motor pole guys are going to kill me.
18:40Shops get damaged all the time.
18:41It's not your fault.
18:42I've totaled five.
18:43Seriously?
18:44Back in Texas, they would give you a medal for being a proper lawman.
18:47Hey, they found the tow truck abandoned a half mile away.
18:52Shouldn't be hard to find him, right?
18:53He won't make it far on foot.
18:54We have no idea how long he's been planning this.
18:56He could have switch cars stashed across the city, people helping him.
18:58Secret Service has to cancel the visit now, right?
19:00I wouldn't count on that, but they are changing his motorcade route, so I gotta go.
19:04What do you want us to do, Sarge?
19:05Right.
19:06Um, okay, get back to the station, check in with Harper and Lopez.
19:09They're talking to Hudson's ex-girlfriend, so hopefully they'll learn something that'll help us find him.
19:13All right.
19:14How are you doing, Margaret?
19:17I am Detective Harper.
19:19This is Detective Lopez.
19:20Hi.
19:21I hope you don't mind.
19:22My mom wanted to come.
19:23Whatever makes you most comfortable.
19:25I always knew the jury was bad news.
19:27Mom.
19:28Well, I did.
19:28How long did you two date?
19:30Uh, about ten months.
19:32Six months too long.
19:33But every time I tried to break it off, he had some crisis, and I felt guilty, so I stayed.
19:38When did his obsession with the president start?
19:41Um, he was already a little bit paranoid when I first met him.
19:45But it just felt like talk.
19:48Conspiracies about the deep state, you know.
19:50But then it got worse.
19:52He got worse.
19:55He thought that he was being watched, said his boss was CIA, that strangers on the street were reporting on him.
20:00He thought that if he could get to the president, he could make it stop.
20:03I gently pushed back, tried to encourage him to go see someone.
20:07He accused me of being one of them, threatened to hurt me.
20:11Did he?
20:11No.
20:14He punched a hole in the wall and left.
20:16I changed the locks, took my vacation time, went camping for three weeks.
20:21By the time I got back, he seemed to have moved on.
20:25Mom, it's such a tragedy.
20:29He really used to be a nice guy.
20:32Honey.
20:33Mom.
20:35He was.
20:36He made me feel special.
20:38Made me laugh.
20:40And I just watched him go down the rabbit hole and there was nothing that I could do to save him.
20:46Do you have someplace safe you can stay until he's in custody?
20:50She can stay with me.
20:52I have a shotgun and I'm not afraid to use it.
20:54Let's try and avoid that.
20:55We'll give you a panic button and have units check on you regularly.
20:58Listen, you knew him as well as anyone.
21:01Do you really think that he would hurt the president?
21:05Uh, I think that Jerry is a very disturbed man who has the means and ability to do great violence.
21:16Hey, so, how'd it go today?
21:19Well, we have an armed wannabe assassin on the loose.
21:22The president lands in 16 hours.
21:23Other than that...
21:24It's always something.
21:26Is there anything I can do?
21:27No.
21:28All under control.
21:29Secret Service brought additional resources.
21:31Nightship detectives are fully briefed, as are the sergeants.
21:34Okay.
21:35Good night.
21:40Hey, hi.
21:41I have bad news.
21:42I heard you have to redo the motorcade route.
21:44Yes.
21:44So, um, I'm gonna need to rain check on our romantic first night living together dinner.
21:49I'm sorry.
21:49That's okay.
21:50All right.
21:50You want me to stay around and help?
21:52No.
21:53You're worried it'll look like I don't trust you and I'm taking over.
21:56Yes.
21:57Even though I know that's not what you'd be doing, it's just, you know, appearances are important,
22:01especially right at the beginning of a new job, so...
22:03It's okay.
22:04Listen, I'll keep my ringer on.
22:05Call me if you have any questions and no one needs to know.
22:09You know, in my mind, I'm kissing you right now.
22:16So, first day is my T.O.
22:18How did I do?
22:19As Sergeant Bradford would say, you performed all tasks adequately.
22:23My C.I. choice was, uh, disappointing.
22:26Well, I don't know.
22:27Maybe he'll pay off.
22:29We're good.
22:31We'll see.
22:32Maybe Abraham Lincoln was just messing with you.
22:34I thought about that, but he seemed so earnest.
22:37Like, I think he really believes it.
22:41Are you sure you don't want to come sit on the couch?
22:43I'm not used to all this soft furniture, so it's going to take me a minute.
22:48Hey, even if Agent Past Live does believe it, is that such a bad thing?
22:53Everyone thinks they were someone special in their past life.
22:56No, but there's no way that everyone was Cleopatra or Diego Rivera.
23:00You know what the problem is?
23:01I think it says something about his personality, you know?
23:04Like, it's so self-aggrandizing.
23:06Out of all my past lives, not a single one was famous.
23:10You remember your past lives?
23:11Like, all of them?
23:12Well, let's not get into it.
23:14Who keeps texting you?
23:15My C.I.
23:17Well, if it's important, take the call.
23:19Let's see.
23:20It's a video of a kangaroo fighting a deer.
23:27Okay, I have not seen this.
23:29No.
23:39Line of sight is too clear on the western edge.
23:42This guy's a sniper.
23:45Take another run at it.
23:47We'll be back at 4 a.m. for an update.
23:49Hello?
24:02Am I talking to Sergeant Chen or L-I-G-F Lucy?
24:05I don't even know anymore.
24:07Still working on the motorcade route?
24:08You know, here's the thing.
24:09I cannot shut Sepulveda down for three hours.
24:12It's just not even on the table.
24:13And don't even get me started on Wilshire.
24:15We do not have the manpower to cover even half of those rooftops, so...
24:19So it's going to be an all-nighter?
24:20For sure.
24:21Have you eaten, at least?
24:23No, but it's not a big deal.
24:24I mean, there's a vending machine that I can go get something from.
24:29God forbid.
24:30This is really sweet.
24:34I think I'm going to cry.
24:36At work, you would never.
24:38You're right.
24:39Have you changed your mind about help?
24:43No, but you could stay and eat with me and listen while I complain about the secret service
24:48without offering any advice, like the supportive, live-in boyfriend you are.
24:54You got it.
24:55We live in a disaster-prone area.
24:58We need to be ready for anything.
24:59And if we raised chickens, we'd have a guaranteed source of protein.
25:04How are you going to protect them from the coyotes?
25:06I'll build them a fortress in the yard.
25:08I'll have my strong, handsome husband build them a fortress in the yard.
25:13As you can see, the suspect has barricaded himself inside the dispensary and is refusing to come out.
25:18You can't arrest me!
25:20I have immunity!
25:21Call Officer Finn!
25:25Great.
25:29Hey, uh, what's up?
25:33What's Channel 7?
25:35Nolan told me to turn it on.
25:36Oh, it's an old people's way to watch the news.
25:41The suspect is still refusing to comply with the police.
25:44Customers and staff are...
25:45Andy, Andy, what the hell are you doing?
25:46I need you to call off the cops, man.
25:48No, you need to put the phone down and walk out the door with your hands on your head.
25:51You said you could get me out of trouble!
25:52So you went to rob a pot dispensary to test that out?
25:56No.
25:56Law enforcement hopes to draw him out as quickly as possible.
26:00I'm in trouble.
26:01You're in trouble.
26:02Ben, do you know how much trouble you caused last night?
26:09The Department of Public Relations has been fielding calls nonstop about cops making immunity deals with dirtbags.
26:13It was entirely my fault, sir.
26:15I was unclear with my CI.
26:16In Miles' defense.
26:17No, there is no defense for him or you.
26:19Letting him make a CI deal with Fast Andy?
26:21You know better than that.
26:23I was giving him enough space to make it a teachable moment.
26:25Well, now it's a teachable moment for both of you.
26:27How do you think this looked on my first day as watch commander?
26:29I'm so sorry, sir.
26:30I would bear you both under the doghouse, but the president lands in two hours and we are no closer to finding Jerry Hudson.
26:36Suit up!
26:37Yes, sir.
26:38Yes, sir.
26:39Once again, I'm so sorry, sir.
26:42Noted.
26:43Now, get your head in the game.
26:44Today's going to be a bear.
26:45We'll deal with the fallout tomorrow if we still have jobs.
26:50I don't think you see my vision.
26:52Okay, a security company slash resort slash makeup line is hard to picture.
26:56We wouldn't do them all at once.
26:58Morning.
26:58Wesley is killing my dream.
27:01Uh, it's not your dream.
27:02You came up with it yesterday.
27:04I'm going to work.
27:10Force of habit?
27:11No, close the door.
27:14First of all, I want to be clear.
27:16This is temporary.
27:17With the president coming to town, they want a seasoned veteran back in the office.
27:23Which is why they asked me to return as watch commander for the day.
27:26Okay.
27:27Damn, this has nothing to do with you or the job you're doing.
27:29I mean, it has something to do with it.
27:31The stakes are way too high.
27:32And God forbid something happens today.
27:34There can't be a newbie at the helm.
27:36It'll look like we went in unprepared.
27:38I get it.
27:39All right, what do you need from me?
27:40Get everybody in roll call.
27:41Yes, sir.
27:41All right.
27:42This is only temporary, so please try to contain your disappointment.
27:58Now, we're all aware of the most pressing issue.
28:01The president lands in two hours, and we have a wannabe assassin on the loose.
28:04The decision has been made to continue to visit, so I need everyone on this.
28:09Detectives Harper and Lopez and Agent Butler will get you up to speed.
28:13Our suspect is Jerry Hudson, avid collector of conspiracy theories and weapons,
28:17the most alarming of which is a Ferret M82.
28:20According to the range master at Hudson's Range, Hudson is accurate up to 800 yards.
28:24The two stops that POTUS is making, first at UCLA for a speech,
28:28then at a fundraiser at Hancock Park, are well secured.
28:30But we are adding an awning to cover the entrance and exit at each location.
28:34Sergeant Bradford will be coordinating motorcade route.
28:36No, that assignment will remain with Sergeant Chen.
28:39I'm a utility player today.
28:41Fine.
28:42As of 0600 this morning, we have locked in a primary and secondary route for both locations.
28:47Because of the elevated threat level, street closures will be more extensive than normal.
28:53I know, but it is what it is.
28:56Be prepared for angry motorists and an increase in reckless behavior.
29:01You got anything to add?
29:04Listen, today is why we wear the uniform.
29:10Okay, not just to keep the president safe, but to ensure the safety of all Angelenos.
29:15Communication is key.
29:17Eyes open.
29:18Stay sharp.
29:20Let's win the day.
29:21Nice speech.
29:28And thank you.
29:30No need to pay the demotion forward.
29:32Look, your plan is great.
29:33You thought through threat, seasoned agents would have missed.
29:36Are you okay?
29:37I'm fine, Sergeant Chen.
29:40What's our first order of business?
29:43Shutting down the west side of Los Angeles.
29:45Here we go.
29:45Let me see you take off.
29:49Let me see you take off.
29:49I need a tow truck in sector seven, north side of fourth.
29:52Let me see you take off.
29:53Take off.
29:54Let me see you take off.
29:56Let me see you take off.
29:58Let me see you take off.
30:03Jerry's creative spelling does not make his angry letters to the president any easier to read.
30:08Took me a minute to figure out he wasn't raging against pubic policy.
30:12Pubic?
30:13Oh, right.
30:14Public.
30:14That's almost as good as the deep state will know my furry.
30:17Hard to say who it's the most.
30:19The president, justice department, CIA, or the English language.
30:23No, it's definitely the FBI.
30:25I can't tell you how many times he's railed against the Pheebs.
30:30Actually, it doesn't say the Pheebs.
30:32It says Pheebs betrayed him.
30:34Pheebs deserves to die.
30:36Pheebs as in Phoebe.
30:37Margaret Phoebe Dawes.
30:43I think I figured out what we're wrong on our first day.
30:46You ignored my advice and misled to CIA.
30:49That's it.
30:50What I realize is I've had a lot of coaches in my day, and I tend to respond best to real hard asses.
30:55Like Tim?
30:56Yeah, more of a drill sergeant type.
30:58Look, so if I'm messing up, just get in my face.
31:00Yeah, I can take it.
31:02Um, yeah, what do you got?
31:05Hudson's plan is in his letters.
31:06Let me guess.
31:07Kill the president?
31:08No, he's starting with Pheebs.
31:10Pheebs, his ex-girlfriend's middle name.
31:11We have to get to her now.
31:13We're on the way.
31:13Come on.
31:14You've reached Margaret.
31:23Sorry I missed you.
31:24Hey, it's Detective Harper.
31:25Call me as soon as you get this.
31:27Okay, thanks.
31:28She's not with her mom either.
31:31Wait, hold on.
31:32Hey, Margaret.
31:33Where are you?
31:34I'm at work.
31:34Okay, I need you to get out of there and go someplace safe.
31:38Harry's coming, isn't he?
31:39We are on our way right now.
31:41What was that?
31:43That's him.
31:43You gotta hide.
31:44What?
31:44I need all available units at 4262, Warner.
31:47Any room with a door that locks, a bathroom, or...
31:49My box is office.
31:50Okay, that's perfect.
31:51Barricade yourself in there.
31:52Do not come out until we get there.
31:54Okay.
31:54Run, run, run, run.
31:58The police are on our way.
31:58Hide, hide.
32:00Go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go.
32:02Go, go, go.
32:18The hide.
32:20Get down.
32:24Let's go.
32:55You left away from Mitchell?
32:56No.
32:57We're going in.
32:58Good.
33:01You good?
33:10Go.
33:10Get out of here.
33:11Go.
33:13Come on.
33:13Don't stop until you get across the street.
33:15We'll go left.
33:16You take center.
33:16Copy.
33:19So do me carefully, Officer Penn.
33:21There is no room for you to be a cowboy today.
33:23We have both seen firsthand how things can go wrong in a gunfight.
33:26Stay on my six, focus on your sector, and control your fire.
33:30Yes, sir.
33:31Let's do this.
33:32Let's do this.
33:32Let's do this.
33:32Let's do this.
33:32Let's do this.
33:33Let's do this.
33:33Let's do this.
33:34Let's do this.
33:34Let's do this.
33:34Let's do this.
33:35Let's do this.
33:35Let's do this.
33:35Let's do this.
33:36Let's do this.
33:37Let's do this.
33:37Let's do this.
33:37Let's do this.
33:38Let's do this.
33:38Let's do this.
33:38Let's do this.
33:39Let's do this.
33:39Let's do this.
33:39Let's do this.
33:40Let's do this.
33:41Let's do this.
33:41Let's do this.
33:41Let's do this.
33:41Let's do this.
33:42Let's do this.
33:42Let's do this.
33:42Let's do this.
33:43Let's do this.
33:43Did you hear that?
34:10Is anyone injured?
34:11No.
34:12We're okay.
34:12Does anyone know where Margaret is?
34:14No, we haven't seen her.
34:15All right.
34:15Stay low.
34:16Stay quiet.
34:17We have additional units on the way.
34:18We have six secured upstairs.
34:19Margaret is not with them.
34:20Repeat, Margaret is not with them.
34:30All right.
34:31Stay here.
34:31Protect them.
34:32What?
34:32Don't argue.
34:33Just do it.
34:34Yes, sir.
34:34Let's go.
34:56Shoot her down!
35:24Shoot her down!
35:26Suspect down!
35:28Control 715.
35:30We have a suspect in custody.
35:32Need an ambulance for one suspect.
35:33Two gunshot wounds in the shoulders.
35:35He's conscious and breathing.
35:36We are code 4.
35:38Hey, you okay?
35:40Yeah.
35:42Is it over?
35:43Yeah, it's over.
35:44It's okay.
35:46It's okay.
35:48Who am I kidding?
35:50I do this job for free.
35:54Well, POTUS is in the air and we are out of here.
36:00Thank God.
36:01No, no.
36:02Not that I'm expressing relief that you are leaving.
36:05It's just this town loses their mind when you just drop their commute.
36:08I totally understand.
36:09It was a pleasure working with you.
36:11Likewise.
36:12I really mean it.
36:13I don't tell too many people about the past life thing.
36:17And it was nice talking to someone who believes me.
36:20Of course.
36:22And who knows?
36:23Maybe we connect so well because in a past life I was Mary Lincoln.
36:29Or Donna Wilkes Booth.
36:32I'm kidding.
36:34Okay.
36:35I don't take myself that seriously, right?
36:37Oh.
36:38Kevin Kelvin of the Secret Service.
36:39His name is Kevin Kelvin?
36:40Yes.
36:41Not the point, but...
36:42You know what?
36:43Never mind.
36:44I'm just glad this crazy day is over.
36:45I heard you guys were the heroes.
36:47He's doing our job.
36:48Oh, he's being modest.
36:49Your former training officer is as brave as the first man who ate an orchard.
36:53Don't I know it.
36:54I've been thinking about your coaching preference.
36:55The drill sergeant thing?
36:56Yeah.
36:57I'm not gonna do that.
36:58We don't always get to pick the personality of our supervisors.
36:59And it's not my job to be your preferred T.O.
37:00It is your job to learn how to deal with me.
37:01Got it?
37:02Got it.
37:03Good.
37:04That was a very drill sergeant thing to say.
37:06I contain multitudes.
37:07Hey.
37:08Hey.
37:09Thanks for stepping in today.
37:10There's nothing you couldn't have done.
37:11Brassett.
37:12Brassett and brassett.
37:13Oh, man.
37:14I've been planning to help you.
37:15You've already done some stuff.
37:16And you've got to help him.
37:17You can't help him.
37:18You've got to make sure.
37:19You've got to help him.
37:21He's got to help him.
37:22You've got to help him.
37:23We've got to help him.
37:24You've got to help him.
37:25You've got to help him.
37:26Got to help him.
37:27Got to help him.
37:28He's a hard one.
37:29How's he gonna help him?
37:30Oh.
37:31He going to help him out.
37:32How's he going to help him?
37:33Well, I can't help him.
37:34you couldn't have done,
37:36Brass just doesn't know you.
37:37So start forging those relationships.
37:39Bring coffee to the weekly meetings,
37:41memorize their kids' names.
37:42I get it.
37:42I need to work on my social game.
37:44Exactly.
37:45Lucy can give you some pointers.
37:47All right, that's it.
37:48All yours.
37:50Tell you what, this job's a lot harder
37:51than I thought it would be.
37:53If it's any consolation, it doesn't get any easier.
37:56Great to hear.
37:57If you need anything, I just want to talk.
38:00I know where to find you.
38:00All right.
38:02Yeah.
38:02Sir.
38:03Oh.
38:05Got a minute?
38:07Yeah.
38:08Hey, listen, nice work today.
38:11Your accommodation is being talked about,
38:12which should put this fast Sandy screw up to bed.
38:14About that, um, can I speak freely?
38:18Sure.
38:20Officer Penn is my rookie now,
38:22but I can't train him effectively
38:24if I have you second-guessing my methods every shift.
38:27Now, I'm aware you have a decade of seniority over me.
38:31You're right.
38:33I am painfully aware of what second-guessing feels like,
38:36and it won't happen to you again.
38:37Officer Penn is yours to train.
38:40Now, that said, fast Andy was a perfect storm of stupid.
38:42Now, as your watch commander, it is my job to yell at you
38:45if your training produces a bad result.
38:47Understood.
38:49Uh, for what it's worth, I admire how you handled yourself today.
38:55That could not have been easy.
39:02That was nice.
39:04So, are you ready to go home for our first official night together?
39:11Uh, God, yes.
39:14You know, great work with the president's visit today.
39:17I know, right?
39:18Thank you for saying that.
39:20I know.
39:21So, I changed my mind.
39:22I know.
39:23Fully endorsed my wife, embracing a lifestyle that involves zero gunfights with presidential assassins.
39:28Sorry you missed your window.
39:29I already gave up on that athleisure wear company.
39:31I didn't even know that was on the table.
39:33And all the other new hustles Harper and I are dreaming about.
39:36I'm not ready to quit this job just yet.
39:39Yeah, I figured.
39:40But I do have a new dream.
39:42Mmm.
39:43It involves a suite at the Four Seasons.
39:46Tonight?
39:47Yes.
39:48My mom's watching the kids.
39:50I'll meet you in the hotel bar in 30 minutes.
39:53Yeah.
39:54You'll be Max, an international man of misery.
40:00And I'll be Christina.
40:02Mmm.
40:03An insatiable corporate shark in town for a conference.
40:07I'd love that for us.
40:08You can get your ass in the car.
40:09I'll be there in 30.
40:12Okay.
40:20Welcome home.
40:22I got a smile on the floor.
40:25Look, I wasn't sure where you wanted anything, so I, uh, I held off.
40:29Oh, it's my baby.
40:32Come here.
40:33Hi.
40:36This is kind of overwhelming.
40:38Yeah.
40:39That's a lot to do.
40:40You want to just go out to dinner?
40:41Yes.
40:42I really, really do.
40:43That's okay.
40:44Can we bring Kojo?
40:45It's gonna severely limit our restaurant options.
40:47But, I mean, how could we not?
40:49For sure.
40:50Kojo!
40:51Let's go.
40:52Good boy.
40:53Let's go, let's go.
40:54Come here.
40:55Okay.
40:56All right.
40:57Ready?
40:58Yeah.
40:59Let's do it.
41:00Wait, wait, wait.
41:05Okay, now we can go.
41:07Come on.
41:08One day, you'll make it home.
41:14The Pit's Noah Wiley and stand-up comedian Tig Notaro on a new Jimmy Kimmel Live, later
41:22tonight.
41:23Wow.
41:24What?
41:25Nolan, you arrested a guy this morning?
41:27I caught him trespassing at the rec center.
41:29There was a triple homicide and their 15-year-old daughter was dragged into the woods.
41:34All they had was a fingerprint.
41:35Until now.
41:36It's in our best interest to keep him in the dark.
41:40So you should do the interview.
41:42He's not just a murderer.
41:43He's worse.
41:47I have found a new soulmate.
41:49He's got another girl.
