00:00It's hard to say goodbye.
00:07So much of my life happened here.
00:11All those years with Tamara, with Jackson, and now you.
00:19I feel like every important thing in my adult life happened in here.
00:25But now you're emerging from this chrysalis and becoming a beautiful butterfly.
00:32Is it too much?
00:33No, it's perfect. You're perfect.
00:41Sorry, am I really?
00:42No, no, we're just getting a slow start.
00:44Sorry, come on in.
00:45Hey, well, you can put some of your stuff in my room for now.
00:48Oh, that's all I have.
00:49What? Are you kidding?
00:50No, Carl life is all about minimalism.
00:53But if you have anything you want to leave behind, feel free.
00:56You know, I mean, Tim has a bed. Do you really need to bring yours?
01:00What?
01:02Sorry.
01:03Could you actually just, um, put that back?
01:06You are welcome to come visit anytime you want.
01:11Yes.
01:12Take care of his place for me.
01:13I will.
01:14This is so gross. I don't even want to put this on my chair.
01:24I'm calling it. There's not enough dry cleaning in the world.
01:28Why did that idiot have to throw his gun in the sewer?
01:30I know, as if murder wasn't bad enough, he had to go and ruin my favorite boots.
01:35What's that smell?
01:37That is the sweet aroma of a closed case.
01:40It smells like industrial waste.
01:42You know, sometimes I wonder what I'm still doing here.
01:45I'm rich, you know, like really rich.
01:48I don't need any of this.
01:50What are you going to do, huh?
01:51Retire, have lunch at the country club every day?
01:55I'd also do Pilates and bring books and go shopping and travel.
02:00Being the boss isn't just about getting the work done.
02:04You've got to play a smart political game.
02:06I know. I've filled in for you before.
02:08A day here or there is not the same.
02:11Tim, you are the watch commander now.
02:16No acting, no interim. You're him.
02:22Now, problem solving is never ending.
02:24Memos pile up fast.
02:26If you don't have a system, you'll fall behind.
02:28Understood.
02:29Yeah, that's it. Any questions?
02:31No, I'm good.
02:32That's my desk.
02:36Right.
02:37Sorry, it's going to take some getting used to.
02:41Um, so if you need anything...
02:43I know where the task force office is.
02:45Good luck.
02:49Hey, I don't want to make you late for roll call,
02:52but girlfriend Lucy has a couple of things she'd like to say to you
02:55before you started your shift, so good luck.
02:58You've earned this, and you've got this.
03:02Girlfriend Lucy?
03:04Yes.
03:05Well, technically, I guess it's live-in girlfriend Lucy now, so...
03:08Technically, I think you have to be fully unpacked before we can call you then.
03:11But that's not the point.
03:13Either way, L-I-G-F Lucy is officially clocking out, and Sergeant Chen is taking over.
03:19This is weird.
03:21Maybe.
03:22But our jobs are too important to let our relationship interfere.
03:25We really need to be professional.
03:28Okay.
03:29Well, I appreciate L-I-G-F Lucy's kind words.
03:34I will tell her if I see her.
03:36You will tell her.
03:38Okay.
03:39First day as roving supervisor.
03:43Nervous?
03:44Oh, no.
03:45Nothing could be more challenging than working with the dream team, so...
03:48At least on night's shift, your boyfriend wasn't a watch commander.
03:51Wow.
03:52I do have a good plan for dealing with that, though.
03:54It's strict compartmentalization.
03:56Sounds unhealthy.
03:57What? No.
03:58I think it's good.
03:59Clear boundaries and no confusion.
04:01See you at roll call.
04:03So, any advice for dealing with your OTO?
04:06Nolan's tricky.
04:08He seems like the nicest person in the world, but he can lay down the law.
04:11Hmm.
04:12Don't take him for granted.
04:13Understood.
04:16Hey.
04:18It is so weird seeing Tim in Gray's office.
04:21It feels like everything's changing all at once.
04:23Tim's the new Gray.
04:24I'm the new Tim.
04:25Miles is the new Selena.
04:27So, who am I?
04:28You're just Nolan.
04:42Okay, knock it off.
04:43We have a number of changes today.
04:46First, Nolan will take over training Officer Penn.
04:49Finally got him straightened out, so try not to mess it up.
04:52I'll do my best.
04:53But don't do your best.
04:54Do my best.
04:55Second, Sergeant Chen is taking over as roving supervisor.
04:59And finally, in T-minus 36 hours, the President of the United States arrives in Los Angeles.
05:07Sorry, I think I'm coming down with something.
05:12Probably just an allergy.
05:14It is an honor to host the President in our fair city.
05:17And we will ensure that his visit is safe and productive.
05:19A Secret Service advance team lands shortly, and they'll be operating out of our station for the next 48 hours.
05:24Let's show them how real law enforcement is done.
05:27Copy?
05:28Copy.
05:29Yes, sir.
05:30Dismissed.
05:31Sergeant Chen, a minute.
05:32Yep.
05:35Okay, this right here.
05:36This is the current department bible on presidential visits.
05:39Wow.
05:40So don't lose it?
05:41Don't even joke about losing it.
05:43Okay.
05:45Oh, wow.
05:47That's really intricate.
05:48Yeah.
05:49Apparently this President guy is pretty important.
05:50Look, I've been coordinated with the Secret Service for the last month.
05:53The only thing left to lock down is the motorcade route.
05:57And since you're a watch commander now, it falls to me, right?
06:00Okay.
06:01Correct.
06:02This is not as simple as getting the President from point A to point B.
06:04The route needs to comply with all Secret Service protocols.
06:07And my recent proposal is in there.
06:08We're just waiting for a sign off on a few items.
06:10Am I locked into your plan?
06:12No.
06:13If you think you can do better, feel free.
06:14But it would be a heavy lift on your first day.
06:16And the rethink can't get in the way of your other duties.
06:18So if you were me, stick to the current plan.
06:21Got it.
06:22Okay.
06:23So if I do lose it...
06:25Oh, I'm joking.
06:27Gray would have thought that was funny.
06:29Doubt it.
06:30Chen.
06:31Um...
06:32Yes, I...
06:34Roll call was okay.
06:35Right?
06:36Speaking as Sergeant Chen.
06:39Because Lucy has left the building.
06:40Yes, I remember.
06:41You were maybe, like, a tad too gruff?
06:43They're grown-ups.
06:44I'm not gonna coddle them.
06:45No, I totally agree.
06:46It's just, you know, Gray would always end on a good note.
06:49Be safe out there.
06:50Okay.
06:51Well, that was his thing.
06:52You know, I need to find my own style.
06:55I know.
06:56And you will.
07:00Every TO rookie relationship is unique.
07:02As long as it's based in respect, we shouldn't have any problems.
07:05So, what is next in your Rookbook checklist?
07:08Conservating and informing.
07:09Okay.
07:10But shouldn't that wait until after the circus comes to town tomorrow?
07:13Every day's a circus in Los Angeles.
07:15Part of your training is going to be multitasking.
07:17I assume you've already started cultivating a list of potential CIs?
07:20Oh, yes, sir.
07:21My top candidate is a high-end sex worker I helped out a few weeks back.
07:24Good instincts, but I wouldn't start with her.
07:28A CI cop relationship is complicated on a good day
07:31without the emotional complexities that her profession might bring.
07:34All right.
07:35Well, what about Dave Kaiser?
07:37His garage does a lot of work on cars, but it's on the front.
07:40How long has he been sober?
07:41A couple months.
07:42Not nearly long enough.
07:43All right.
07:46Pass Andy.
07:47Pass Andy.
07:48Now, he has good connections, but he's not that bright.
07:53I'm not looking for a financial advisor.
07:56Most criminals are dumb.
07:57Right.
07:58But the CI needs to be smart enough to be able to maintain a lie.
08:01Yeah, I know that.
08:02I've recruited informants before back in Texas.
08:05Okay.
08:06It's your call.
08:07I'm only here for guidance.
08:08If you think Fast Andy is your guy, let's go recruit him and see how that goes.
08:12I'm not buying it.
08:13Kids in self-care all day, every day?
08:17I think you'd get bored.
08:19So I'll start a business.
08:21Hire my BFF to run it with me.
08:24What kind of business?
08:25Harper.
08:26Lopez.
08:27Bradford.
08:28Good to see you.
08:29All right.
08:30Agent Butler.
08:31This is Sergeant Chen.
08:32She's taking over my old position.
08:33Detective Harper and Lopez have volunteered to help you run down threats.
08:36I don't remember volunteering.
08:38Me neither.
08:39This is my right hand.
08:40Agent Kevin Kelvin.
08:41I'm sorry.
08:42Kevin...
08:43Kevin Kelvin?
08:44My parents are fans of alliteration.
08:45Who is it?
08:46Here's the watch list.
08:47As you know, most of them are cranks.
08:49But with POTUS landing tomorrow, we need to make sure that there's no signs of escalation.
08:53Major life events, weapon purchases...
08:55I know what escalation looks like.
08:56Of course you do.
08:57My apologies.
08:58You want us to start at the top of the list?
09:00No.
09:01They're an order of assessed threat.
09:02We'll take the most worrying.
09:03Why don't you start around...
09:0520?
09:06Sure thing.
09:11Start at 20?
09:12He might as well have just said, waste your entire day tugging a mouth breather.
09:16What I'm saying, if we work for ourselves, we wouldn't have to jump through anybody else's hoops.
09:20Doing what?
09:21Well...
09:25All right, so we have narrowed it down to private investigation term or spa resort.
09:30Two solid choices and we've only been thinking on it for three wasted time door knocks.
09:34Who's lucky number four?
09:35Jerry Hudson, uh, 34.
09:37Gun enthusiast.
09:38Post under the username six separate tyrannis414 and threats to the president are varied in many.
09:47Mr. Hudson, LAPD, we have a few questions for you.
09:49Angela?
10:03Jerry Hudson, LAPD!
10:04Come out with your hands up!
10:06Let's go.
10:36Clare, you got anything?
10:53Angela?
11:02Impressive and terrifying.
11:05Everything's labeled.
11:06Makes it easy to see what's missing.
11:08What is most troubling is sniper rifle.
11:11I think it means rifle.
11:13I think his spelling is the least of our problems.
11:24Now, it is important that you be completely clear with your CI.
11:27That's a delicate balance.
11:29You want to motivate your CI to cooperate,
11:31but at the same time, you can't keep them out of jail.
11:33You can't even promise to be lenient.
11:35Not the DA.
11:36Got it.
11:37Andy, it's good to see you.
11:38Thanks for taking the time.
11:39You know, Paolo, I gotta make this quick, though,
11:40because my boss sees all over me about the business I have with the money.
11:43I mean, how am I supposed to know Obama's not on the 100?
11:46Those fakes can be tricky.
11:48Exactly.
11:49So, what's up?
11:51I have a business proposition.
11:52You've got connections on your side of the law.
11:54I've got connections on my side of the law.
11:56What do you say we work together?
11:57You want me to snitch?
11:58Nah, you don't have to tell me anything you don't want to,
12:00but if you hear something you want to pass along, hit me up.
12:03How much is it worth to you?
12:04Well, let's not focus on the money.
12:06So, nothing?
12:07Look, LAPD's budget is limited, but the real benefit is our relationship.
12:11You help me, I help you.
12:13Help me how?
12:14We can discuss that.
12:16So, let's discuss it now.
12:187 out of 15, detectives requesting 10-21 for assignment.
12:24Copy, calling shortly.
12:26Look, you murdered someone, I can't help you, right?
12:29But smaller offenses, I have some leeway.
12:32Okay.
12:33I can see the value in that.
12:34Good.
12:35All right.
12:36We gotta go.
12:37Here's my card.
12:39The cell is on there.
12:41Thanks, man.
12:42Hey, you don't want a pop before y'all leave?
12:44I'll just open a bottle of vodka.
12:45We don't drink on a job.
12:47Yeah, me neither.
12:48Yeah.
12:53What?
12:54Nothing?
12:55You happy with how that went?
12:56Yes, sir.
12:57Now it's up to Andy.
13:04How am I supposed to make sure POTUS is never 10 minutes away from a hospital?
13:077 out of 300, we question supervisor on Blix and Hortense, priority x-ray.
13:127 out of 300, responding.
13:20Okay.
13:21Hey.
13:22Must be bad if the watch commander came out.
13:35Not good.
13:36Heavily armed suspect on the secret service watch list is in the wind.
13:38What exactly is this guy's history with the president?
13:40Cyber threat team flagged Hudson a year ago.
13:42He was posting about revolution, rooting out tyranny all standard fare.
13:45About six months ago, he started demanding a meeting with the president, sending handwritten
13:49letters directly to the White House.
13:51Only copies of those letters.
13:52I'll send you copies of our reports.
13:53Not the reports, the originals.
13:55I can assure you our analysts are very thorough.
13:57No doubt.
13:58But I insist.
13:59Just say yes.
14:00Fine.
14:01But I want every available officer out looking for this guy.
14:05Okay.
14:06Absolutely.
14:07Sir, you go.
14:08You'll have all available resources in full coordination with our divisions.
14:12Good.
14:13I want to embed Agent Kelvin with your team.
14:16Yeah, no problem.
14:17We can do that for you.
14:18Officer Juarez?
14:19Agent Kelvin's going to ride with you.
14:23He's going to help question Hudson's family members.
14:25Let's go.
14:27At what point do you cancel the president's visit?
14:30We are nowhere near that point.
14:31For all we know, this guy could be out on a hunting trip.
14:34I know that this is high-level stuff.
14:36This is my everyday.
14:38So let's just chase down the bad guy and check him off the list.
14:42I'm just going to say it.
14:44Not a fan.
14:45That's twice.
14:46It felt like he defaulted talking to Tim, right?
14:48Is he crazy?
14:49No.
14:50I don't think he meant anything by that.
14:51We've worked together before.
14:52He's just comfortable with me.
14:53Mm-hmm.
14:54All right, I'll go talk to him.
14:55No.
14:56No.
14:57That definitely is worse.
14:58It's fine.
14:59We eat ingrained misogyny for breakfast.
15:01Lopez just sent details on our suspect, Jerry Hudson.
15:04She wants us to talk to Jerry's coworkers at Third Street Surplus.
15:08Copy that.
15:10That Lopez again?
15:12Fast-handed.
15:13He's got a lead already?
15:14Not exactly.
15:15It's mostly memes.
15:17Oh, this one's not a meme.
15:18He wants to know if I can track down a...
15:21Girl, he once dated.
15:23She was smoking hot.
15:24But if she's gotten fat, never mind.
15:26He's not interested.
15:30You're an Aries?
15:31Oh, yeah.
15:32It was a gift.
15:34I'm a cancer.
15:35Of course.
15:36And I bet you're a Gemini ascending.
15:38You're good.
15:39I dabble.
15:40But I've learned to downplay it at work.
15:43Oh, me too.
15:44Everyone is so judgmental of New Age spirituality.
15:48How long have you been in the Secret Service?
15:51I joined right out of college.
15:53Let me guess.
15:54You watched In the Line of Fire at an impressionable age?
15:58Not exactly.
15:59Oh.
16:00I don't know you well enough yet.
16:02Oh, come on.
16:04This shop is a safe space.
16:06Here.
16:07I'll go first.
16:10I believe the reason why tarot works is because it's connected to the non-linearity of time.
16:18So the tarot isn't sending you a message.
16:20You are sending yourself a message from the future by influencing the cards.
16:25I have never thought about it that way before.
16:28That makes a lot of sense.
16:29I know.
16:30So, what made you want to protect the president?
16:34I had all these dreams when I was a kid.
16:39Real vivid.
16:40And they had all these historical details that I just couldn't possibly know any other way.
16:45Like from a past life?
16:46Yeah.
16:47And I realized I was Abraham Lincoln.
16:50Reborn.
16:51Like Abraham Lincoln Lincoln?
16:54That's the one.
16:57Well, that's why you joined the Secret Service.
16:59To stop what happened to you from happening to another president.
17:03That's not what I put on my application, but yeah.
17:08Well, that's amazing.
17:107 Adam 13 EMT report triggered Arbolos.
17:13Suspect Jerry Hudson was just taken to St. Stephen Hospital.
17:16You're the closest unit.
17:17Control, show us responding.
17:24Hey.
17:25Did you just bring in Jerry Hudson?
17:26Yeah.
17:27He was in a single car accident.
17:28Lost control in an intersection.
17:29Hit a light pole.
17:30We need to talk to him.
17:31He's being triaged in Bay 12.
17:32Hey.
17:33Go ahead.
17:34He just took off.
17:35Call security.
17:36Tell them to lock down the hospital.
17:37Any chance he's armed?
17:38If there was a gun, I would have felt it, but there was an empty knife sheet.
17:41Oh, okay.
17:42Uh, so, 7th and 13, I need additional units to St. Stephen Hospital for at-large suspect Jerry Hudson.
17:48Description to follow.
17:49Brown hair, blue jeans, white shirt, blood on his face and neck from a head injury.
17:55Nothing.
17:56What happened to his car?
17:57They were hooking it up to go to the in-pound lot when I left.
18:10Half a mile on foot with a head injury?
18:15I bet we beat him here.
18:20You'd lose that bet.
18:21Seven out of 15.
18:22Eyes on Hudson.
18:23We need backup at Mid-City.
18:24God!
18:51Motor pole guys are gonna kill me.
19:04Shops get damaged all the time.
19:06It's not your fault.
19:07I've totaled five.
19:08Seriously?
19:09Back in Texas, they would give you a medal for being a proper lawman.
19:14Hey.
19:15They found the tow truck abandoned a half mile away.
19:17Shouldn't be hard to find him, right?
19:18He won't make you far on foot.
19:19We have no idea how long he's been planning this.
19:21He could have switch cars stashed across the city, people helping him.
19:24Secret Service has to cancel the visit now, right?
19:26I wouldn't count on that.
19:27But they are changing his motorcade route, so I gotta go.
19:30What do you want us to do, Sarge?
19:31Right.
19:32Um, okay, get back to the station, check in with Harper and Lopez.
19:35They're talking to Hudson's ex-girlfriend, so hopefully they'll learn something that'll help us find him.
19:39Okay.
19:40Hi.
19:43Hi.
19:44How you doing, Margaret?
19:45I am Detective Harper.
19:46This is Detective Lopez.
19:47Hi.
19:48I hope you don't mind.
19:49My mom wanted to come.
19:50Whatever makes you most comfortable.
19:52I always knew the jury was bad news.
19:54Mom.
19:55Well, I did.
19:56How long did you two date?
19:57Uh, about ten months.
19:59Six months too long.
20:00But every time I tried to break it off, he had some crisis, and I felt guilty, so I stayed.
20:05When did his obsession with the president start?
20:08Um, he was already a little bit paranoid when I first met him.
20:13But it just felt like talk, conspiracies about the deep state, you know.
20:18But then it got worse.
20:20He got worse.
20:22He thought that he was being watched, said his boss was CIA, that strangers on the street were reporting on him.
20:28He thought that if he could get to the president, he could make it stop.
20:31I gently pushed back, tried to encourage him to go see someone.
20:35He accused me of being one of them, threatened to hurt me.
20:39Did he?
20:40No.
20:41Uh, he punched a hole in the wall and left.
20:45I changed the locks, took my vacation time, went camping for three weeks.
20:49By the time I got back, he seemed to have moved on.
20:54It's such a tragedy.
20:57He really used to be a nice guy.
21:01Honey.
21:02Mom.
21:03He was.
21:05He made me feel special and made me laugh.
21:09Um, and I just watched him go down the rabbit hole and there was nothing that I could do to save him.
21:16Do you have someplace safe you can stay until he's in custody?
21:20She can stay with me.
21:21I have a shotgun and I'm not afraid to use it.
21:24Let's try and avoid that.
21:25We'll give you a panic button and have units check on you regularly.
21:28Listen, you knew him as well as anyone.
21:30Do you really think that he would hurt the president?
21:33Uh, I think that Jerry is a very disturbed man who has the means and ability to do great violence.
21:43Hey.
21:44So, how'd it go today?
21:45Well, we have an armed wannabe assassin on the loose.
21:46President lands in 16 hours.
21:47Other than that.
21:48It's always something.
21:49Is there anything I can do?
21:50No.
21:51All under control.
21:52Secret Service brought additional resources.
21:53Nightship detectives are fully briefed as are the sergeants.
21:54Okay.
21:55Good night.
21:56Hey, hi.
21:57I have bad news.
21:58I heard.
21:59You have to redo the motorcade route.
22:00Yes.
22:01So, um, I'm gonna need to rain check on our romantic first night living together dinner.
22:05I'm sorry.
22:06That's okay.
22:07All right.
22:08You want me to stay around and help?
22:09No.
22:10You're welcome.
22:11I'm sorry.
22:12I'm sorry.
22:13I'm sorry.
22:14I'm sorry.
22:15I'm sorry.
22:16I'm sorry.
22:17I'm sorry.
22:18I'm sorry.
22:19I'm sorry.
22:20I'm sorry.
22:21I'm sorry.
22:22I'm sorry.
22:23I'm sorry.
22:24I'm sorry.
22:25You're worried it'll look like I don't trust you and I'm taking over.
22:28Yes.
22:29Even though I know that's not what you'd be doing.
22:31It's just, you know, appearances are important.
22:33Especially right at the beginning of a new job.
22:35So.
22:36It's okay.
22:37Listen, I'll keep my ringer on.
22:38Call me if you have any questions and no one needs to know.
22:42You know, in my mind, I'm kissing you right now.
22:49So, first day is my T.O.
22:51How did I do?
22:52As Sergeant Bradford would say, you performed all tasks adequately.
22:55My CI choice was, uh, disappointing.
22:58I don't know.
22:59Maybe he'll pay off.
23:01We're good.
23:03We'll see.
23:05Maybe Abraham Lincoln was just messing with you.
23:07I thought about that, but he seems so earnest.
23:10Like, I think he really believes it.
23:13Are you sure you don't want to come sit on the couch?
23:16I'm not used to all this soft furniture, so it's gonna take me a minute.
23:22Hey, even if agent past life does believe it, is that such a bad thing?
23:26Everyone thinks they were someone special in their past life.
23:29But there's no way that everyone was Cleopatra or Diego Rivera.
23:33You know what the problem is?
23:35I think it says something about his personality, you know?
23:38Like, it's so self-aggrandizing.
23:41Out of all my past lives, not a single one was famous.
23:44You remember your past lives? Like, all of them?
23:47Well, let's not get into it.
23:48Who keeps texting you?
23:50My CI.
23:51Well, if it's important, take the call.
23:53Let's see.
23:55It's a video of a kangaroo fighting a deer.
24:02Okay, I have not seen this.
24:04Huh.
24:13No.
24:15Line of sight is too clear on the western edge.
24:18This guy's a sniper.
24:21Take another run at it.
24:23I'll be back at 4 a.m. for an update.
24:37Hello?
24:38Am I talking to Sergeant Chen or LIGF Lucy?
24:41Oh, God, I don't even know anymore.
24:43Still working on the motorcade route?
24:44You know, here's the thing.
24:46I cannot shut Sepulveda down for three hours.
24:48It's just not even on the table.
24:50And don't even get me started on Wilshire.
24:52We do not have the manpower to cover even half of those rooftops, so...
24:56So it's gonna be an all-nighter?
24:57For sure.
24:58Have you eaten, at least?
25:00No, but it's not a big deal.
25:01I mean, there's a vending machine that I can go get something from.
25:06God forbid.
25:11This is really sweet.
25:12I think I'm gonna cry.
25:13At work, you would never.
25:15You're right.
25:16Have you changed your mind about help?
25:20No.
25:21But you could stay and eat with me and listen while I complain about the Secret Service without offering any advice, like the supportive, live-in boyfriend you are.
25:32You got it.
25:33We live in a disaster-prone area.
25:36We need to be ready for anything.
25:37And if we raised chickens, we'd have guaranteed source of protein.
25:42How are you gonna protect them from the coyotes?
25:44I'll build them a fortress in the yard.
25:47I'll have my strong, handsome husband build them a fortress in the yard.
25:52...clear, but as you can see, the suspect has barricaded himself inside the dispensary and is refusing to come out.
25:57You can't arrest me!
25:58I have immunity!
26:00Call Officer Pitch!
26:04Great.
26:11Hey, uh, what's up?
26:12What's Channel 7?
26:14Nolan told me to turn it on.
26:16Oh, it's an old people's way to watch the news.
26:21The suspect is still refusing to comply with the police.
26:24Customers and staff are-
26:25Andy, Andy, what the hell are you doing?
26:26I need you to call off the cops, man.
26:28No, you need to put the phone down and walk out the door with your hands on your head.
26:31You said you could get me out of trouble!
26:33So you went to rob a pot dispensary to test that out?
26:36No.
26:37Law enforcement hopes to draw him out as quickly as possible.
26:41I'm in trouble.
26:42You're in trouble.
26:46Penn, do you know how much trouble you caused last night?
26:49The Department of Public Relations has been fielding calls non-stop about cops making immunity deals with dirtbags.
26:54It was entirely my fault, sir. I wasn't clear with my CI.
26:57In Miles' defense.
26:58There is no defense for him or you.
27:00Letting him make a CI deal with Fast Andy?
27:02You know better than that.
27:03I was giving him enough space to make it a teachable moment.
27:06Well, now it's a teachable moment for both of you.
27:08How do you think this looked on my first day as Watch Commander?
27:10I'm so sorry, sir.
27:11I would bear you both under the doghouse, but the President lands in two hours and we are no closer to finding Jerry Hudson. Suit up!
27:18Yes, sir.
27:19Yes, sir.
27:20Once again, I'm so sorry, sir.
27:23Noted.
27:24Now, get your head in the game. Today's gonna be a bear.
27:26We'll deal with the fallout tomorrow if we still have jobs.
27:29I don't think you see my vision.
27:33Okay, a security company slash resort slash makeup line is hard to picture.
27:38We wouldn't do them all at once.
27:40Morning.
27:41Wesley's killing my dream.
27:43Uh, it's not your dream. You came up with it yesterday. Going to work.
27:48Hmm.
27:53Force of habit?
27:54No. Close the door.
27:55First of all, I want to be clear. This is temporary.
28:02With the President coming to town, they want a seasoned veteran back in the office.
28:06Which is why they asked me to return as Watch Commander for the day.
28:09Okay.
28:10Tim, this has nothing to do with you or the job you're doing.
28:12I mean, it has something to do with it.
28:14The stakes are way too high. And God forbid something happens today.
28:17There can't be a newbie at the helm. It'll look like we went in unprepared.
28:21I get it. All right, what do you need from me?
28:23Get everybody in real court.
28:25Yes, sir.
28:26All right.
28:34All right.
28:36This is only temporary, so please try to contain your disappointment.
28:40Now, we're all aware of the most pressing issue.
28:44The President lands in two hours, and we have a wannabe assassin on the loose.
28:49The decision has been made to continue to visit, so I need everyone on this.
28:53Detectives Harper and Lopez and Agent Butler will get you up to speed.
28:57Our suspect is Jerry Hudson, avid collector of conspiracy theories and weapons, the most alarming of which is a Barrett M82.
29:05According to the Rangemaster at Hudson's Range, Hudson is accurate up to 800 yards.
29:10The two stops that POTUS is making, first at UCLA First Speech, then at a fundraiser at Hancock Park, are well secured.
29:16But we are adding an awning to cover the entrance and exit at each location.
29:20Sergeant Bradford will be coordinating motorcade routes.
29:22No, that assignment will remain with Sergeant Chen. I'm a utility player today.
29:26Fine. As of 0600 this morning, we have locked in a primary and secondary route for both locations.
29:33Because of the elevated threat level, street closures will be more extensive than normal.
29:39I know, but it is what it is.
29:42Be prepared for angry motorists and an increase in reckless behavior.
29:47You got anything to add?
29:49Listen. Today is why we wear the uniform.
29:56And not just to keep the President safe, but to ensure the safety of all Angelenos.
30:02Communication is key. Eyes open. Stay sharp. Let's win the day.
30:13Nice speech. And thank you.
30:17No need to pay the demotion forward. Look, your plan is great.
30:20You thought through threats, seasoned agents would have missed.
30:23Are you okay?
30:25Yeah, I'm fine, Sergeant Chen.
30:27What's our first order of business?
30:29Shutting down the west side of Los Angeles.
30:32Here we go.
30:37I need a tow truck in Sector 7, north side of 4th.
30:40Huh. Jerry's creative spelling does not make his angry letters to the President any easier to read.
30:56Took me a minute to figure out he wasn't raging against pubic policy.
31:00Cubic? Oh, right. Public.
31:02That's almost as good as the deep state will know my furry.
31:05Hard to say who he eats the most.
31:07The President, Justice Department, CIA, or the English language.
31:11No, it's definitely the FBI.
31:13I can't tell you how many times he's railed against the Pheebs.
31:18Actually, it doesn't say the Pheebs.
31:20It says Pheebs betrayed him.
31:22Pheebs deserves to die.
31:24Pheebs as in Phoebe.
31:28Margaret Phoebe Dawes.
31:32I think I figured out what was wrong on our first day.
31:34You ignored my advice and misled a CEO.
31:37That, too.
31:38What I realized is I've had a lot of coaches in my day,
31:41and I tend to respond best to the real hard asses.
31:44Like Tim?
31:45Yeah, more of a drill sergeant type.
31:47Look, so if I'm messing up, just get in my face.
31:49Yeah, I can take it.
31:51Um...
31:53Yeah, what do you got?
31:54Hudson's plan is in his letters.
31:56Let me guess. Kill the President?
31:57No, he's starting with Pheebs.
31:59Pheebs, his ex-girlfriend's middle name.
32:01We have to get to her now.
32:02We're on the way. Come on.
32:11You've reached Margaret. Sorry I missed you.
32:13Hey, it's Detective Harper. Call me as soon as you get this.
32:16Okay, thanks.
32:17She's not with her mom, either.
32:19Wait, hold on.
32:21Hey, Margaret, where are you?
32:23I'm at work.
32:24Okay, I need you to get out of there and go someplace safe.
32:27Harry's coming, isn't he?
32:28We are on our way right now.
32:31What was that?
32:32That's him. You gotta hide.
32:34What?
32:35I need all available units at 416 Warner.
32:37Any room with a door that locks, a bathroom, or...
32:39My box office.
32:40Okay, that's perfect.
32:41Barricade yourself in there.
32:42Do not come out until we get there.
32:44Okay!
32:45Run!
32:46Run!
32:47Run!
32:48Run!
32:49Run!
32:50The police are out there!
32:51Hide!
32:52Hide!
32:53Go, go, go!
32:54Go!
32:55Die!
33:10Get down!
33:19Let's go!
33:21Let's go!
33:46You left away from Mitchell?
33:47No, we're going in.
33:48Good.
33:51You good?
34:00Go.
34:01Get out.
34:02Go.
34:03Come on.
34:04Don't stop until you get across the street.
34:06We'll go left.
34:07You take center.
34:08Copy.
34:09So let me be careful, Officer Penn.
34:11There is no room for you to be a cowboy today.
34:14We have both seen firsthand how things can go wrong in a gunfight.
34:17Stay on my six, focus on your sector, and control your fire.
34:20Yes, sir.
34:21Let's do this.
34:22Let's do this.
34:23Let's go!
34:24Come in, relax.
34:25Hey!
34:27Come in,
34:33Let's go!
34:38Come in!
34:41Now you get some piace-
34:42Did you hear that?
35:01Is anyone injured?
35:03No, we're okay.
35:04Does anyone know where Margaret is?
35:05No, we haven't seen her.
35:06All right, stay low, stay quiet.
35:08We have additional units on the way.
35:10We have six secured upstairs.
35:11Margaret is not with them.
35:12Repeat, Margaret is not with them.
35:22All right, stay here.
35:23Protect them.
35:24But don't argue, just do it.
35:26Yes, sir.
35:41All right, let's wait.
36:03All right.
36:08Shoot her down!
36:19Suspect down!
36:22Control 715.
36:24We have a suspect in custody.
36:26Need an ambulance for one suspect.
36:27Two gunshot wounds in the shoulders.
36:29He's conscious and breathing.
36:30We are code four.
36:32Hey, you okay?
36:34Yeah.
36:37Is it over?
36:38Yeah, it's over.
36:39It's okay.
36:41It's all over.
36:44Who am I kidding?
36:45I do this job for free.
36:52Well, POTUS is in the air,
36:54and we are out of here.
36:55Thank God.
36:57No, no, not that I'm expressing relief
37:00that you are leaving.
37:01It's just this town loses their mind
37:02when you disrupt their commute.
37:04I totally understand.
37:06It was a pleasure working with you.
37:07Likewise.
37:08I really mean it.
37:09I don't tell too many people
37:10about the past life thing,
37:14and it was nice talking
37:15to someone who believes me.
37:17Of course.
37:19And who knows?
37:20Maybe we connect so well
37:22because in a past life,
37:23I was Mary Lincoln.
37:26Or John Wilkes Booth.
37:28I'm kidding.
37:31I was kidding.
37:35Okay, I don't take myself
37:36that seriously, right?
37:37Oh.
37:38Kevin Kelvin,
37:39the Secret Service agent.
37:40His name is Kevin Kelvin?
37:42Yes.
37:42Not the point, but...
37:44You know what?
37:45Never mind.
37:45I'm just glad
37:46this crazy day is over.
37:48I heard you guys
37:49were the heroes.
37:51Just doing our job.
37:52Oh, he's being modest.
37:53Your former training officer
37:54is as brave
37:55as a first man
37:56who ate an oyster.
37:57Don't I know it.
37:58I've been thinking
38:02about your coaching preference.
38:04The drill sergeant thing?
38:05Yeah.
38:05I'm not going to do that.
38:07We don't always get
38:07to pick the personality
38:08of our supervisors,
38:10and it's not my job
38:11to be your preferred TO.
38:12It is your job
38:13to learn how to deal with me.
38:15Got it?
38:16Got it.
38:17Good.
38:18That was a very
38:19drill sergeant thing to say.
38:22I can tell you
38:23multitudes.
38:28Hey.
38:30Hey.
38:31Thanks for stepping in today.
38:32There's nothing
38:33you couldn't have done.
38:34Brass just doesn't know you.
38:36So start forging
38:37those relationships.
38:38Bring coffee
38:38to the weekly meetings,
38:40memorize their kids' names.
38:41I get it.
38:41I need to work
38:42on my social game.
38:43Exactly.
38:44Lucy can give you
38:45some pointers.
38:46All right.
38:47That's it.
38:47All yours.
38:49Tell you what.
38:50This job's a lot harder
38:51than I thought it would be.
38:52If it's any consolation,
38:54it doesn't get any easier.
38:56Great to hear.
38:57If you need anything,
38:58I just want to talk.
38:59I know where to find you.
39:00All right.
39:02Sir.
39:05Got a minute?
39:06Yeah.
39:08Hey, listen.
39:09Nice work today.
39:11Your accommodation
39:11is being talked about,
39:12which should put
39:13this fast Andy screw up to bed.
39:14About that.
39:15Um,
39:17can I speak freely?
39:18Sure.
39:20Officer Penn
39:21is my rookie now,
39:22but I can't train him
39:23effectively if I have you
39:25second-guessing my methods
39:26every shift.
39:27Now,
39:28I am aware
39:28you have a decade
39:29of seniority over me.
39:32You're right.
39:33I am painfully aware
39:35of what second-guessing
39:36feels like,
39:37and it won't happen
39:37to you again.
39:38Officer Penn
39:39is yours to train.
39:41That said,
39:42fast Andy
39:42was a perfect storm
39:43of stupid,
39:44and as your watch commander,
39:44it is my job
39:45to yell at you
39:46if your training
39:46produces a bad result.
39:48Understood.
39:49Uh, for what it's worth,
39:54I admire how you
39:55handled yourself today.
39:57That could not
39:57have been easy.
40:05That was nice.
40:06So, are you ready
40:10to go home
40:11for our first
40:13official night together?
40:15God, yes.
40:17You know,
40:18great work
40:19with the president's
40:19visit today.
40:20I know, right?
40:22Thank you for saying that.
40:23So, I changed my mind.
40:25I now fully endorsed
40:26my wife embracing
40:27a lifestyle that involves
40:28zero gunfights
40:29with presidential assassins.
40:31Sorry, you missed
40:32your window.
40:32I already gave up
40:33on that athleisure wear
40:34company.
40:35I didn't even know
40:36that was on the table.
40:36And all the other
40:37new hustles Harper
40:38and I are dreaming about.
40:40I'm not ready
40:41to quit this job just yet.
40:42Yeah, I figured.
40:44But I do have
40:45a new dream.
40:46Mm.
40:47It involves a suite
40:48at the Four Seasons.
40:50Tonight?
40:51Yes.
40:51My mom's watching
