00:00Hey, you're not nervous I'm going to embarrass you in front of your old captain, are you?
00:06Of course not. I don't know why I'm so anxious.
00:08Russ has always been one of my biggest champions.
00:10He's the one that pushed me to go to Officer Kennedy's squad for my first tour.
00:14Well, I'm sure he's not coming all the way to L.A.
00:16so that he could tell you he's disappointed in you.
00:18I just wish he would give me some sort of idea what this is about, but that's Russ.
00:22There she is!
00:23Hey, Russ! It's so good to see you!
00:25Ah!
00:26Okay.
00:27John Nolan.
00:28Colonel Russell Wilkes, please, call me Russ.
00:31It's a pleasure to finally meet the man behind the story.
00:33Yeah, likewise. Sit down.
00:36I really appreciate you being here, John.
00:38No, I didn't give away too much over the phone, but what I'm here to discuss would affect both your lives.
00:43Seems only fair to include you in the conversation.
00:45The SecDef has tasked me with putting together a working group inside the Pentagon.
00:49Wow.
00:50A team of my own choosing, they would spearhead bring the battlefield medicine in the 22nd century.
00:55It's the most consequential assignment in my career, and you were the first person I'm asking
00:59to be a part of this.
01:04I mean, it's an honor just to be nominated.
01:05Totally.
01:06Russ is a genius.
01:08He could recruit anyone for this working group, and the fact that he called me first,
01:12I mean, that's, that's pretty great.
01:14Yeah, 100%, that's so cool, but, I mean, our life is perfect right now.
01:19There's no way we're messing that up.
01:20No way.
01:21It's perfect.
01:29Police, get down!
01:30This is Bailey Noon, L.A.S.D.
01:31I need an R-A to Central Station Market.
01:34We have a male GSW victim, he's been shot in the head, in the back.
01:37Two suspects, black hoodies, masks, and pants, one headed east towards Broadway, in pursuit
01:43of second suspect.
01:44Move, move!

02:18real estate we have to upgrade we need more room a second tub a closet that fits all our clothes
02:26i mean yeah sure that would be nice but we created our family here which i love but now we're bursting
02:33at the seams and mama's ready to crack open that trust fund and get crazy i'm not sure i like the
02:38sound of that tough we have money uh no we have some money but housing prices in a layer insane
02:45i guess it couldn't hurt to see what's out there i love that you've learned to roll with me rather
02:52than resisting yes you have successfully broken my spirit yay
02:56quickie before the kiss might go oh um
03:02mom come here
03:07too late i like this one i bet you could hang a swing set from that tree right there in the back
03:16that was my favorite until i saw this it has a pool and a gym and a screening room wait hold up
03:24you got screening room kind of money depends on which one of us you ask wesley is the king of
03:29frugality so he would definitely say no but i lived on credit cards until i met him so i'm way more
03:34comfortable pushing the envelope hey nolan did you tell officer hart that the shooters last night were
03:40furries no i said they were wearing hoodies are you taking the case yeah do you mind just walking
03:47us through it yeah uh bailey and i were coming back from dinner at central station market date night no
03:52her former commanding officer came to offer her a job uh pentagon think tank wow you really married
03:58outside of your league i know right so is she gonna take it no uh it would mean relocating to dc so
04:03it's a non-starter for us i mean it might be a non-starter for you but i guarantee that your
04:07overachiever of a wife is seriously thinking about it no actually she was laughing it off when we
04:13talked about oh my god she's actually thinking about it seriously okay well no no if that's
04:19something she really wants to do relocating to dc could be cool it's not i spent time there during
04:23my joint ops days it took me about three weeks to unclench every time i came home thank you for
04:29that insight so any clarity on the victim fred wilson 48 cpa married no kids no criminal record making him
04:37unlike the candidate for a targeted assassination is there anything else about the shooters that you
04:42didn't give heart sorry i did not get a good look at them what about cctv anything there they were
04:48pretty covered up but take a look at this
04:52uh looks like glitter's sf that would make him southern front no visible tattoos on the second
05:03shooter huh yeah so why would a member of a white supremacist gang partner up with a black man to
05:11execute a civilian in broad daylight told you he'd spot it you trained him well could be that our
05:16innocent cpa was helping the southern front to launder money or maybe he had a drug problem and
05:22owed them money we're trying to get the me to rush the talk screen but he's dodging our calls
05:27oh say no more i'll go deliver the ask in person let me collect my boot
05:30hey do you know what this is an iron you know what it's not a machete i am due in court in two hours
05:40to testify about a man attacking people on a bus with a machete okay something must have got switched
05:45around the evidence locker we'll figure it out no no the case is time not waived if we don't find
05:49it fast that psycho is going to be let free okay have you told the prosecutor no it's wesley and i am
05:55just trying to keep him in blissful ignorance as long as possible help me that's the case number no i
06:01know but it's wrong the case number isn't wrong the item might be wrong but numbers are just numbers
06:06fine um so the point is i have to be at court uh and and i need that machete like asap case number
06:15oh okay uh we're not gonna find it by using the case number the numbers got switched well if you
06:20don't have the case number then i can't help you oh wesley's gonna kill me it's uh relax maybe it's
06:25just a typo right the first eight numbers are the date the crime was on january 20th try 2010-2026
06:32try 0201-2026
06:38wow 2001-2025
06:43are you sure you use the new data entry procedure we changed it a few months ago of course i did i keep
06:54but i wasn't the one who logged the entry because you wouldn't approve the overtime i had smitty do
07:00it
07:00what the hell is your problem uh good morning i have bent over backwards to treat you well and
07:09this is how you'd be paying me i don't i'm sorry i don't know what's happening right now like hell
07:13you know your little innocent act would be a lot more believable if they weren't in your office
07:17just know this if you go through with it i will do everything in my power to absolutely destroy you
07:22hi who are you what are you doing in my office and why has it sent vivian into a rage spiral rita
07:34sanchez this is bradley worth we work with the democratic party and we want you to run for district
07:40attorney and now it makes sense that's a hard no for me by the way but thanks for stopping by look
07:45you obviously know that vivian eckhart's running on a post since del monte dropped out of the race
07:49yeah but that was a month ago why come to me now candidly we've been having a hard time finding
07:53someone to take up his mantle
07:54so i'm your last choice hardly
07:58look mr evers i wish there was time for us to do our usual dance of seduction and ego stroking but
08:07as you rightly pointed out we're up against it the deadline to enter this race is in three days and
08:11vivian becoming da is worst case scenario for the people of the city i mean she has the most
08:15regressive record in your office oh i agree but there's zero chance of me beating her i was
08:19temporarily disbarred because of your dealings with elijah stone we know yeah and we are prepared
08:24to embrace that i mean you're a hero who put his life and career on the line to take down a very
08:29dangerous kingpin voters love a man who's willing to stand up for what's right not to mention you're
08:34married to a cop which automatically makes you a more attractive candidate to anyone worried that
08:38progressive means soft on crime look i don't want vivian to win any more than you do but i but
08:44nothing a vivian victory will hurt a lot of people and right now you're our last hope at stopping her
08:49it may be a long shot but isn't it worth the risk
08:52i thought you didn't have time to stroke my ego
08:57you have to let me see i don't actually on tv the family has to identify the body yeah we don't do
09:05that anymore that's right ma'am it's no longer policy but trust me it's for the best seeing your loved
09:12one like that it it changes how you remember them forever i don't understand fred was a saint why
09:20would someone want to kill him well that's what we're trying to figure out he's really dead
09:27yes ma'am i'm afraid so and we are so sorry for your loss okay thank you
09:37thanks for the assist grief makes people a little crazy and i don't like dealing with
09:42them when they're normal why you work with the dead i suppose
09:45uh anything jump out at you the preliminary autopsy no a run-of-the-mill gun homicide the
09:52bullet to the head killed him instantly but the shot to the body was fatal as well any signs of
09:57drug use no but the the talk screen is underway i'll let harper and lopez know the second it comes in
10:03perfect thank you very much i once had a widower insist on seeing his wife's body back when i was in
10:08sugarland ended up suing the city for mental anguish did he win no case got dismissed when he was
10:14convicted of her murder wow hi hi it's all it's all good she's she's fine i'm fine yeah i can see
10:25that but two minutes ago you were grieving i'm still grieving it manifests itself in unknowable ways
10:32right but you brought your boyfriend to help you identify your husband's body well i needed emotional
10:38support she's very sensitive yeah well you can emotionally support each other on the way to the
10:43station let's go oh this way yes put your hands down yes sir wow i know this looks bad understatement
10:55your husband was murdered and in less than 24 hours you were getting busy with your side piece down the
11:00hall from his body i didn't even want to be there uh i told faith it would look weird but she insisted so
11:09you were just trying to be a good boyfriend todd is a terrible boyfriend he's a lot of fun but anything
11:15that requires emotional depth okay what about fred what was he like he was always super cool any time
11:22that i came by you're saying fred knew about the affair it wasn't an affair it was an open marriage
11:29the whole thing was fred's idea i wanted a little bit of peace is it possible that todd wanted you all to
11:36himself listen listen i am twice divorced i am still paying alimony to the first i am not trying to put a
11:43ring on it there's a reason why todd is divorced todd is a good time like coney island fred on the other
11:53hand was deep and soulful and romantic like paris coney island is fun to visit but you don't move there
12:08over her paris what do you think i think people are crazy but neither of them is a physical match for the
12:14shooters still doesn't rule out murder for hire yeah did you put wesley up to this no idea what you're
12:22talking about but if it's pissing you off i'm happy to take credit if he insists on moving forward
12:27i can't guarantee that i'll be able to keep you out of the crossfire
12:32did she just threaten me sure seems like it but why no idea but i'm gonna find out oh husband
12:41you only call me husband when you're mad what did i do you tell me vivian just stopped by
12:46she told you i was running for da wait you're running for da since when no wait it got sprung
12:52on me this morning what does that mean some people came to talk to me about taking over sean's campaign
12:56and you told them no i did initially but uh now you're thinking about it i mean i'd at least like
13:04to discuss it but i am supposed to be my way to court right now only lucy texted to tell me that our key
13:10piece of evidence is missing so is there any chance that we just table this until tonight fine but only
13:14because yelling at you in the bullpen might come across as unprofessional thank you i love you
13:24everything okay are you free for dinner tonight it depends can i bring james as long as you tell
13:29him he has to be team lopez on the penalty of death uh we'll be sure to prep him i remember lucy gave
13:37me the machete and i logged it like i always do okay so that right there is the problem smitty the
13:43system changed most of the world uses day month year month day year was causing all of these issues
13:48for us with our international cases which is why we switched you know didn't you read the memo
13:54sorry wait i just heard that out loud of course you didn't important memos are always covered
13:59in the roll call why do i have a panicked ada knocking on my door to ask for my help to find a
14:05missing machete because smitty wasn't listening when you went over the change and how we filed case
14:09numbers what the day month year thing yeah i didn't go over it my last day as watch commander was crazy
14:16i left it for you to do i thought you handled it oh it's not my fault it's yours everyone got the memo
14:21it's still your fault smitty well it's still on him for trusting me i didn't trust you i thought he
14:26covered it and i just didn't follow up i can't believe i dropped the ball i don't care whose
14:29fault it is i need the machete smitty used the old system right try zero one twenty twenty twenty six i
14:37i can't it's a drop down menu there's no 20th month once you can enter the 20th month but you can't
14:42retrieve the 20th month correct no that's wrong it shouldn't work that way but that is how it works
14:47wesley says the judge is losing his patience if you can't produce the evidence he's prepared to
14:53dismiss the case guys this is bigger than one case everything smitty log has been misfiled going back
14:58two months did the widow shed some light uh not exactly but her doorbell cam did this is from two
15:05days ago the car is registered to a writer frost known member of the southern front well that tattoo is
15:11a match definitely could be our shooter any idea who the other fella is not yet but it's tasked for 54
15:15street gang besides the racial element don't sf and the five four compete for the same meth business they
15:21did up until a few months ago when the armenians pushed southern front further into the valley but
15:26they are certainly not allies they case the garage but not the house any idea what they were looking
15:31for we've got a last known for ryder we're hoping you go ask him
15:44wait
15:49control the pursuit of sus and back at dream royal lake apartments some backup
16:08come on come on
16:19come on
16:29rider there's nowhere to go put your hands on your head down on your knees
16:47oh
16:59i'm sorry are these cases from the future apparently the system didn't know what to do with month 20 and
17:03so it just made the math work and 12 months plus eight is august 20 27. cases from 21st become
17:08september of next year and so on this is unbelievable the judge granted a continuance but we need the
17:13machete by noon tomorrow yep don't worry we will have it i'll stick around i feel responsible it's
17:18completely on me i'm sure to clarify you are on your way out okay you guys are both spartacus okay
17:23let's please start opening the boxes are you coming no
17:28russ i thought you had a flight to catch i do but i couldn't leave l.a without making one last appeal
17:33well i guess you better come in then thank you
17:40really made a nice life for yourself here noon i can uh i can see why you'd hesitate before giving
17:46it up but anything i can say to convince you can i ask why i'm not a doctor or a scientist i don't have a phd
17:57why are you asking me maybe you've been around long enough to know that having a few extra letters
18:02after your name doesn't make you a genius i also know that if i bring you a problem you won't rest
18:06until you've looked at it from every conceivable angle twice before bringing me a solution what if
18:11i can't find a solution hell girl that's why they call it a think tank does me no good to have a bunch
18:16of identical people with identical viewpoints looking in identical directions baseball team can't be all
18:23pitchers need somebody to play shortstop all right i miss my flight if i don't get going so you know
18:28take a few days to think about it talk it over with your man and call me i will
18:36you know if you don't want the job because it's not the right fit or the right time that's fine i get
18:42it but deciding that you're not good enough before somebody else can that's the coward's way
18:47i know you're not a coward no sir i'm not
18:57giddy up
19:06yeah all right okay thanks for the update suspect in the central station market shooting fell to his
19:13death that's awful yeah i got that he was an action hero trying to leap between two buildings
19:17any leads on the second shooter no but the brass has been blown on my phone you know a guy falls
19:21to his death in a police pursuit everyone's got questions captain always a pleasure
19:28i do not miss that i don't think i've seen him sleep more than four consecutive hours since he took
19:32this job i know being sidelined for the president's visit shook him up
19:37and even though it was more of a cya decision by the brass an indictment on his performance the
19:43optics weren't great for him do you think you should be worried i think that watch commander is a
19:48thankless job you're not in the field but you're responsible for every knucklehead that is patrol
19:52officers want resources you can't give them the brass expects results that you realistically can't
19:57produce and when there's bad press and they're looking for a head to roll right i didn't think of it
20:02that way because i made it look easy you'll get the hang of it
20:11the machete yes i gotta i gotta call wesley i'll wait a beat on that
20:23hey that sounds horrible it wasn't pretty that's for sure nolan and i barely had time to twist before
20:28it was all over oh so where does that leave the case still trying to id the second shooter
20:36hey did you know the armenians pushed the southern front's mass trade deeper into the deeper into the
20:41valley yep happened a few months ago that's what i read every gang report the department puts out and
20:46i haven't seen anything about that yeah see those reports only get you so far i mean the best
20:50information is usually through word of mouth which is great for me because i know people from all over
20:55the city well how can i compete with that when i just got here it takes time to cultivate that kind
21:01of trust true but i mean you'd be shocked by what some of these low-level game makers put on social
21:06media the ellie gang subreddit is a great resource look i gotta stay up anyway i've got a 2am zoom date
21:12with raj why don't i show you some of my favorite accounts to follow who knows you might see something
21:18on writer all right let's go coach i'm ready hey good to see you you too how you doing i thought we
21:26might need this oh very thoughtful what do you guys think should we crack it now or save it for dinner
21:32my vote is now okay and don't be stingy with the pores
21:38everyone clear on the plan oh yes yes james snows agreed with everything you say and keep the starry-eyed
21:44to perform a talk on a minimum perfect operation killer dream is it go he has a point we complain
21:52all the time about undocumented witnesses being too scared to testify instituting a policy that would
21:57protect them from deportation that would be a game changer i thought we're supposed to be team lopez
22:03i know but it's a good idea i'm not saying it's not a good idea but i think we're getting away from
22:09the larger point which is we'd be opening our lives up to public scrutiny which would be hard enough
22:15for you and me and i worry what it'll do to the kids so do i but i also want them to grow up knowing
22:23that their father is willing to fight for the rights of everybody even when it's difficult hey man
22:30you started it think of what i'd be in the position to influence as the d.a
22:34i could end cash bail expand victim services emphasize counseling institutional change is
22:41always hard right but does that mean that i shouldn't try what about the house
22:46yeah well we would probably have to wait on that i mean optics wouldn't and you'd be fine
22:50letting public perception dictate how we live our lives in service of real reform
22:57maybe real change requires sacrifice but i would not do it at the expense of our family i would need
23:03to know that you were on board 100 percent hello whoa something smells good because i cooked
23:16more than cooked candles should i be worried no not at all i just know you had a really hard day and i
23:22want to do something nice for you oh uh-huh and uh what do you really want in exchange for this totally
23:31no strings attached feast a conversation about dc i didn't know we needed to have one i know and that
23:40is my fault but all day i have not been able to get this idea out of my head and russ stopped by on
23:48the way to the airport and gave me his final appeal and it made me question why i was so quick to shut it
23:55down well and before you tell me no or give me 100 reasons why it won't work all i ask is that you
24:02spend some time to explore the idea and by that you mean see what transferring to dc police would look
24:09like make some calls ask some questions kick the tires and what if we come to different conclusions we
24:17abort the mission either we're both in or both out we need both keys to launch a torpedoes yes
24:23what do you think i think i want you to be happy and if this is something you want then i will do
24:35everything i can from my end to see if it's feasible we're in this together
24:41is it just me or these numbers starting to blend together it is not just you everything okay with
24:53the press writer's death was ruled in accidents but there's always a chance they could reopen the case
24:59or blame me for this whole evidence logging mess hey just take the win you're right
25:04look i swear if i lose watch command because of smithy that's not gonna happen i have been
25:11manifesting that we will find this machete all day manifesting god i got you away from waters just in
25:17times you gotta be kidding me
25:26oh my god
25:31thank god all right let's go home
25:36wait where are you a yurt in finland the northern lights have been amazing the last few nights jealous
25:43i know i wish you were here to see them with me me too i miss you hey selena i might have found
25:49something so ryder is that miles hey miles hey man how's the great white north he saw the aurora
25:54oh cool who's ryder a suspect in a murder well that sounds important do you need to go no just
25:59give me one second what's up okay so i was looking through ryder's juvie file between the ages
26:05of nine to fourteen he lived in four different foster homes one was located in the 54th street
26:09territory foster parents were mabel and rafael sinclair and rafael died a few years ago heart
26:14attack but look at what i found on maple
26:22uh babe i'm sorry i gotta go no worries uh have fun solving your murder we will
26:31this is mabel sinclair most of the kids in the neighborhood just call her mom since they know
26:35whatever they need food a place to stay clean clothes mabel will hook them up well last week
26:40mabel was a victim of a hit and run while crossing her street witnesses saw a red sedan speeding
26:45away from the scene but no arrests have been made anyone care to guess what kind of car
26:49fred wilson drove all right camry so you think fred hit mabel oh more than that selena ran his
26:55vent and found the body shop doing the repairs on his car the bumper tested positive for blood
27:01francis are running the sample what's ryder's connection to this woman oh mabel was his foster
27:05mother that's the mother that's the second shooter that is keeson holmes 22 proud member of the five
27:13four and former foster brother to ryder frost so they murdered fred wilson as revenge for killing mabel
27:21mabel wasn't dead
27:25all i remember is going out to bring my trash cans in and then waking up here and they told me it was a
27:33uh a hit and run unfortunately the man suspected of hitting you with his car was murdered we have
27:38reason to believe your former foster sons ryder frost and kingston holmes want a revenge for what
27:44happened to you it was painful enough losing ryder and kingston to the streets i don't think i can take
27:52knowing that they killed a man because of me we're very sorry but i'm afraid that's not all ryder died
28:00yesterday trying to jump between rooftops they were just hurt little boys underneath it all you know
28:08when ryder first came to us he was
28:13so shut down he barely said two words to me that first month the kingston he always had this way about
28:22him this lightness even after all he'd been through
28:30but then
28:33they started to do everything together and bit by bit
28:40i got to see ryder for the sweet sensitive boy he was what happened ryder's mom came back into the
28:50picture with her skinhead boyfriend and once he was gone all of kingston's light went with him
29:00he started to act out getting in trouble
29:06and he was finally put away on some trumped up vandalism charge and then he joined the gang in prison
29:17and suddenly the two boys i saw become brothers were turned into mortal enemies by the streets i'm sorry for
29:31how much pain this has caused you but we'd like to bring kingston in without any more bloodshed
29:36do you have any way of contacting him
29:44what do you want me to say
29:47hey the judge signed off on the wiretap we should be good to go on a few great uh

37:23Hey, kids, process.
37:35Ah, thank you for that.
37:37Um, look, I realize this was a bit of a tough one.
37:40You all right?
37:41I'll be all right.
37:43I know I shouldn't feel sympathy, but he's just a boy.
37:47Look, no one is saying you can't feel sympathy, but at the end of the day, he did make the choice to pull that trigger.
37:53Look, why don't you go home? I'll take care of the paperwork.
37:58Yes, sir.
38:00You're good.
38:02Uh, it amazes me how one man can wreak such havoc on the entire LAPD.
38:11Smitty is a force of nature.
38:13Uh, got a minute?
38:14Yeah, Sean, what's up?
38:15Well, Bailey has been offered a pretty impressive job in D.C., a Pentagon think tank.
38:22And I was just wondering what a transfer to the D.C.P.D. would be like.
38:28Yeah, I can get you in touch with a few people.
38:31But you do know you would have to start at the very bottom again, including redoing the academy.
38:36I've done it before.
38:38You were also five years younger.
38:39Yes.
38:40You would get a pretty hefty signing bonus.
38:43That's a perk.
38:44But your annual salary would be much less than you make in L.A.
38:48Plus, the cost of living in D.C. is just as expensive.
38:51So, in the long run, your bonus really won't make a difference.
38:55Especially if Bailey's only making the government salary.
38:58Right.
38:58I'm sorry if this is not the answer you were looking for.
39:01No, no, that's, um...
39:03I was just looking for the truth.
39:06Yeah, well, good luck.
39:12Hey.
39:15The L.A.P.D. wouldn't be sad to see you go.
39:19Thank you, sir.
39:26Guess what?
39:28What?
39:28We won.
39:30That's great.
39:31Did Judge give you any grief about the evidence?
39:33I think he was too confused by the explanation to challenge it.
39:37Take the win.
39:38Mm-hmm.
39:39I prepared a ten-minute lecture for tomorrow's roll call
39:42to make sure no one can ever again use ignorance as an excuse
39:45when mislabeling case members.
39:46You know, you're a really good watch commander.
39:50I'm figuring it out.
39:51No, listen.
39:52No matter what kind of craziness is going on at the station,
39:54you're always the center of calm.
39:56And the rest of us need that.
39:58I need that.
40:00Mm-hmm.
40:01Tell you what, list of things we can't trust Smitty with is getting longer.
40:04Do you think he's doing it on purpose?
40:06Yes.
40:07Weaponized incompetence?
40:08Yeah.
40:08I don't think he's that strategic.
40:17Hey.
40:18Sorry I missed dinner.
40:22Hey, bedtime.
40:22You should run for DA.
40:28Are you sure?
40:30Because if you're not in 100%...
40:31I'm in.
40:33The more I thought about it, the more I realized this
40:35was exactly why you joined the DA's office in the first place.
40:39Mm-hmm.
40:39And I'm proud you want to set that example for our children.
40:43Especially because every day I see firsthand the people, our system has failed.
40:48And inevitably, the ones who suffer the most are other kids.
40:53You sure you're okay waiting on a new house?
40:56No.
40:56But, like you said, real change requires sacrifice.
41:03And I love this house.
41:06We brought home two babies here.
41:09We also made two babies here.
41:14So we did.
41:15Mm-hmm.
41:15No food to entice me with, I see.
41:22No, but I have wine.
41:25No.
41:28Listen, I don't want to beat around the bush.
41:30I did my due diligence.
41:31And I am sorry, honey.
41:33I don't think I can do DC.
41:36It would mean starting all over again as a rookie.
41:41Only this time, instead of being 45, I'd be 50.
41:44Oh.
41:45What if I'm not ready to say no?
41:54Well, you did say we both had to be in or you would walk away.
41:59I know.
42:00And I meant it when I said it.
42:04But now...
42:06You still want it.
42:10So where does that leave us?
42:15This killer's underestimating you?
42:24Good.
42:25But they won't even see you coming.
42:29What now?
42:30We get him.
42:30You still want it?
42:32Oh, I'm trying to say you guys did.
42:39And kill him.
42:43Also...
