00:00Hey, you're not nervous I'm going to embarrass you in front of your old captain, are you?
00:07Of course not. I don't know why I'm so anxious.
00:09Russ has always been one of my biggest champions.
00:11He's the one that pushed me to go to Officer Kennedy's squad for my first tour.
00:15Well, I'm sure he's not coming all the way to L.A. so that he could tell you he's disappointed in you.
00:19I just wish he would give me some sort of idea what this is about, but that's Russ.
00:23There she is!
00:24Hey, Russ! It's so good to see you!
00:27John Nolan.
00:28Colonel Russell Wilkes, please, call me Russ.
00:31It's a pleasure to finally meet the man behind the story.
00:34Yeah, likewise. Sit down.
00:37Really appreciate you being here, John.
00:39No, 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.
00:46The SecDef has tasked me with putting together a working group inside the Pentagon.
00:50Wow.
00:51A team of my own choosing that will spearhead bring the battlefield medicine into the 22nd century.
00:56It's the most consequential assignment in my career.
00:59And you are the first person I'm asking to be a part of this.
01:05I mean, it's an honor just to be nominated.
01:07Totally. Russ is a genius.
01:09He could recruit anyone for this working group.
01:11And the fact that he called me first, I mean, that's pretty great.
01:15Yeah. A hundred percent. That's so cool.
01:17But I mean, our life is perfect right now. There's no way we're messing that up.
01:21No way. It's perfect.
01:30Police! Get down!
01:31This is Bailey Noon, L-E-F-D. I need an RA to Central Station Market.
01:34They have a male GSW victim. He's been shot in the head, in the back.
01:38Two suspects. Black hoodies, masks, and pants.
01:41One headed east towards Broadway in pursuit of second suspect.
01:44Move! Move!
01:45Move! Move!
01:46Move!
01:48Move! Move!
01:49Move! Move!
02:12Number four
02:15Why are you texting me when I'm right here?
02:16Letting you sleep.
02:17That's sweet.
02:18Wait, are you looking at real estate?
02:21We have to upgrade.
02:23We need more room, a second.
02:25Tub, a closet that fits all our clothes.
02:28I mean, sure, that would be nice,
02:29but we created our family here.
02:32Which I love, but now we're bursting at the seams
02:34and mama's ready to crack open that trust fund
02:37and get crazy.
02:38I'm not sure I like the sound of that.
02:40Tough.
02:41We have money.
02:42Uh, no, we have some money,
02:45but housing prices in a lair are insane.
02:49I guess it couldn't hurt to see what's out there.
02:51I love that you've learned to roll with me
02:52rather than resisting.
02:54Yes, you have successfully broken my spirit.
02:57Yay.
03:00Quickie before the kids wake up?
03:02Oh, um, whoa.
03:07Mom, come here.
03:08Too late.
03:12I like this one.
03:13I bet you could hang a swing set from that tree
03:16right there in the back.
03:17That was my favorite until I saw this.
03:20It has a pool and a gym and a screening room.
03:24Wait, hold up.
03:25You got screening room kind of money?
03:27Depends on which one of us you ask.
03:28Wesley is the king of frugality,
03:31so he would definitely say no,
03:32but I lived on credit cards until I met him,
03:34so I'm way more comfortable pushing the envelope.
03:37Hey, Nolan, did you tell Officer Hart
03:39that the shooters last night were furries?
03:43No, I said they were wearing hoodies.
03:45Are you taking the case?
03:46Yeah, do you mind just walking us through it?
03:48Yeah, uh, Bailey and I were coming back from dinner
03:51at Central Station Market.
03:52Date night?
03:53No, her former commanding officer
03:54came to offer her a job, a Pentagon think tank.
03:58Wow, you really married outside of your league.
04:00I know, right?
04:01So is she gonna take it?
04:02No, uh, it would mean relocating to D.C.,
04:04so it's a non-starter for us.
04:06I mean, it might be a non-starter for you,
04:07but I guarantee that your overachiever of a wife
04:10is seriously thinking about it.
04:11No, actually, she was laughing it off
04:14when we talked about,
04:15oh, my God, she's actually thinking about it, seriously.
04:18Okay, well, no, no,
04:19if that's something she really wants to do,
04:21relocating to D.C. could be cool.
04:23It's not.
04:23I spent time there during my joint ops days.
04:25It took me about three weeks to unclench
04:28every time I came home.
04:29Thank you for that insight.
04:31So, any clarity on the victim?
04:33Fred Wilson, 48, CPA, married,
04:36no kids, no criminal record.
04:38Making him an unlikely candidate
04:39for a targeted assassination.
04:41Is there anything else about the shooters
04:43that you didn't give heart?
04:45Sorry, I did not get a good look at them.
04:47What about CCTV, anything there?
04:48They were pretty covered up,
04:51but take a look at this.
04:59Uh, looks like the litter's SF.
05:00That would make him Southern Front.
05:02No visible tattoos on the second shooter.
05:06Huh.
05:06Yeah.
05:07So why would a member of a white supremacist gang
05:10partner up with a black man
05:12to execute a civilian in broad daylight?
05:14Told you he'd spot it.
05:15You trained him well.
05:16Could be that our innocent CPA
05:18was helping the Southern Front
05:20launder money,
05:21or maybe he had a drug problem
05:23and owed them money.
05:24We're trying to get the ME
05:25to rush the talk screen,
05:26but he's dodging our calls.
05:28Oh, say no more.
05:29I'll go deliver the ask in person.
05:30Let me collect my boot.
05:34Hey.
05:35Do you know what this is?
05:37An iron?
05:38You know what it's not?
05:39A machete.
05:39I am due in court in two hours
05:41to testify about a man
05:42attacking people on a bus
05:44with a machete.
05:44Okay, something must have got switched
05:45around in the evidence locker.
05:46We'll figure it out.
05:47No, no, no.
05:48The case is time not waived.
05:49If we don't find it fast,
05:50that psycho is gonna be let free.
05:52Okay, have you told the prosecutor?
05:54No.
05:55It's Wesley,
05:55and I am just trying to keep him
05:57in blissful ignorance as long as possible.
05:59Help me.
06:00That's the case number.
06:01No, I know, but it's wrong.
06:03The case number isn't wrong.
06:04The item might be wrong,
06:05but numbers are just numbers.
06:09Fine.
06:10So the point is,
06:12I have to be at court,
06:14and I need that machete, like, ASAP.
06:16Case number?
06:17Oh.
06:18We're not gonna find it
06:19by using the case number.
06:19The numbers got switched.
06:21Well, if you don't have the case number,
06:22then I can't help you.
06:23Oh, Wesley's gonna kill me.
06:24It's, uh, relax.
06:25Maybe it's just a typo, right?
06:27The first eight numbers are the date.
06:29The crime was on January 20th.
06:30Try 2010-2026.
06:33Wow.
06:3420-01-2025.
06:38Are you sure you used the new data entry procedure?
06:42We changed it a few months ago.
06:43Of course I did.
06:44I can't.
06:45But I wasn't the one who logged the entry
06:46because you wouldn't approve the overtime.
06:48I had Smitty do it.
06:49What the hell is your problem?
06:51Uh, good morning.
06:52I have bent over backwards to treat you well,
06:54and this is how you repay me.
06:55I don't, I'm sorry.
06:56I don't know what's happening right now.
06:57Like hell.
06:58You know your little innocence act would be a lot more believable
06:59if they weren't in your office.
07:00Just like you, man.
07:01I know.
07:02You know, I'm sorry.
07:03I'm sorry.
07:04I'm sorry.
07:05I'm sorry.
07:06I'm sorry.
07:07I'm sorry.
07:08I'm sorry.
07:09I don't know what's happening right now.
07:10I'm sorry.
07:11I'm sorry.
07:12I'm sorry.
07:13I'm sorry.
07:14I'm sorry.
07:15I'm sorry.
07:16We're in your office.
07:18Just know this.
07:19If you go through with it, I will do everything in my power
07:21to absolutely destroy you.
07:30Hi.
07:31Who are you?
07:32What are you doing in my office,
07:33and why has it sent Vivian into a rage spiral?
07:34Rita Sanchez.
07:36This is Bradley Wirth.
07:37We work with the Democratic Party,
07:38and we want you to run for district attorney.
07:41And now it makes sense.
07:43That's a hard no for me, by the way,
07:44but thanks for stopping by.
07:45Look, you obviously know that Vivian Eckhart's running on a post
07:47since Del Monte dropped out of the race.
07:48Yeah, but that was a month ago.
07:50Why come to me now?
07:51Candidly, we've been having a hard time
07:52finding someone to take up his mantle.
07:54So I'm your last choice?
07:57Hardly.
08:00Look, Mr. Evers,
08:02I wish there was time for us to do our usual dance of seduction
08:05and ego stroking, but as you rightly pointed out,
08:08we're up against it.
08:09The deadline to enter this race is in three days.
08:11And Vivian becoming DA is worst-case scenario for the people of the city.
08:14I mean, she has the most regressive record in your office.
08:17Oh, I agree.
08:18But there's zero chance of me beating her.
08:19I was temporarily disbarred.
08:20Because of your dealings with Elijah Stone, we know.
08:22Yeah, and we are prepared to embrace that.
08:25I mean, you're a hero who put his life and career on the line
08:28to take down a very dangerous kingpin.
08:30Voters love a man who's willing to stand up for what's right.
08:32Not to mention you're married to a cop,
08:34which automatically makes you a more attractive candidate
08:37to anyone worried that progressive means soft on crime.
08:40Look, I don't want Vivian to win any more than you do, but I...
08:44But nothing.
08:45A Vivian victory will hurt a lot of people.
08:47And right now, you're our last hope at stopping her.
08:49It may be a long shot, but isn't it worth the risk?
08:55I thought you didn't have time to stroke my ego.
08:58You have to let me see him.
09:01I don't, actually.
09:02On TV, the family has to identify the body.
09:04Yeah, we don't do that anymore.
09:06That's right, ma'am. It's no longer policy.
09:09But trust me, it's for the best.
09:11Seeing your loved one like that, it...
09:13it changes how you remember them forever.
09:16I don't understand.
09:18Fred was a saint. Why would someone want to kill him?
09:21Well, that's what we're trying to figure out.
09:24He's really dead?
09:26Yes, ma'am. I'm afraid so.
09:28And we are so sorry for your loss.
09:30Okay. Thank you.
09:37Thanks for the assist.
09:38Grief makes people a little crazy,
09:41and I don't like dealing with them when they're normal.
09:43Why? You work with the dead, I suppose.
09:47Uh, anything jump out at you, the preliminary autopsy?
09:50No. A run-of-the-mill gun homicide.
09:52The bullet to the head killed him instantly,
09:54but the shot to the body was fatal as well.
09:56Any signs of drug use?
09:57No, but the-the talk screen is underway.
10:00I'll let Harper and Lopez know the second it comes in.
10:03Perfect. Thank you very much.
10:04I once had a widower insist on seeing his wife's body
10:07back when I was in Sugar Land.
10:09Ended up suing the city for mental anguish.
10:11Did he win?
10:12No. Case got dismissed when he was convicted of her murder.
10:15Wow.
10:17Hey! Police! Let her go!
10:20Whoa! Hey! Hi! Hi!
10:21It's all-it's all good. She's-she's fine.
10:23I'm fine.
10:24Yeah, I can see that.
10:26But two minutes ago, you were grieving.
10:28I'm still grieving.
10:29It manifests itself in unknowable ways.
10:32Right. But you brought your boyfriend
10:33to help you identify your husband's body?
10:35Well, I needed emotional support.
10:39She's very sensitive.
10:41Yeah. Well, you can emotionally support each other
10:43on the way to the station. Let's go.
10:45Oh.
10:46This way.
10:47This way? Yes.
10:48Okay.
10:49Put your hands down.
10:50Yes, sir.
10:51Wow.
10:52I know this looks bad.
10:53Understatement.
10:55Your husband was murdered, and in less than 24 hours,
10:58you were getting busy with your side piece
11:00down the hall from his body.
11:02I didn't even want to be there.
11:03Uh, I told Faith it would look weird,
11:06but she insisted.
11:08So you were just trying to be a good boyfriend?
11:11Todd is a terrible boyfriend.
11:14He's a lot of fun, but anything that requires emotional depth.
11:17Okay, what about Fred?
11:18What was he like?
11:19He was always super cool anytime that I came by.
11:23You're saying Fred knew about the affair?
11:25It wasn't an affair.
11:26It was an open marriage.
11:29The whole thing was Fred's idea.
11:31Guy wanted a little bit of peace.
11:33Is it possible that Todd wanted you all to himself?
11:36Listen, I am twice divorced.
11:39I am still paying alimony to the first.
11:42I am not trying to put a ring on it.
11:44There's a reason why Todd is divorced.
11:47Todd is a good time, like Coney Island.
11:51Fred, on the other hand, was deep and soulful and romantic.
12:00Like Paris.
12:03Coney Island is fun to visit, but you don't move there.
12:07Oh, Paris.
12:09What do you think?
12:10I think people are crazy.
12:11But neither of them is a physical match for the shooters.
12:14Still doesn't rule out murder for hire.
12:16Um, yeah.
12:18Did you put Wesley up to this?
12:20No idea what you're talking about, but if it's pissing you off,
12:23I'm happy to take credit.
12:25If 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?
12:33Sure seems like it.
12:35But why?
12:36No idea.
12:37But I'm gonna find out.
12:39Oh, husband!
12:41You only call me husband when you're mad.
12:43What did I do?
12:44You tell me.
12:45Vivian just stopped by.
12:46She told you I was running for DA.
12:48Wait, you're running for DA?
12:50Since when?
12:51No, no, no. Wait.
12:52It got sprung on me this morning.
12:53What does that mean?
12:54Some people came to talk to me about taking over Sean's campaign.
12:56And you told them no.
12:57I did.
12:59Initially.
13:00But...
13:01But...
13:02Now you're thinking about it?
13:03I mean, I'd at least like to discuss it.
13:05But I am supposed to be on my way to court right now.
13:08Only Lucy texted to tell me that our key piece of evidence is missing.
13:11So is there any chance that we can just table this until tonight?
13:13Fine.
13:14But only because yelling at you in the bullpen might come across as unprofessional.
13:18I love you.
13:24Everything okay?
13:25Are you free for dinner tonight?
13:26Depends.
13:27Can I bring James?
13:28As long as you tell him he has to be Team Lopez on the penalty of death.
13:33We'll be sure to prep him.
13:36I remember Lucy gave me the machete and I logged it like I always do.
13:40Okay, so that right there is the problem, Smitty.
13:42The system changed.
13:43Most of the world uses day, month, year.
13:45Month, day, year was causing all of these issues for us with our international cases,
13:49which is why we switched.
13:51You know?
13:52Didn't you read the memo?
13:53Sorry.
13:54Wait.
13:55I just heard that out loud.
13:56Of course you did.
13:57Important memos are always covered in the roll call.
14:01Why do I have a panicked ADA knocking on my door to ask for my help to find a missing machete?
14:06Because Smitty wasn't listening when you went over the change in how we filed case numbers.
14:10What?
14:11The day, month, year thing?
14:12Yeah.
14:13I didn't go over it.
14:14My last day as watch commander was crazy.
14:16I left it for you to do.
14:17I thought you handled it.
14:18Oh, it's not my fault.
14:19It's yours.
14:20Everyone got the memo.
14:21It's still your fault, Smitty.
14:22Well, it's still on him for trusting me.
14:24I didn't trust you.
14:25I thought he covered it and I just didn't follow up.
14:27I can't believe I dropped the ball out.
14:28I don't care whose fault it is.
14:30I need the machete.
14:31Smitty used the old system, right?
14:33Try 01, 20, 20, 26.
14:36I can't.
14:37It's a drop down menu.
14:39There's no 20th month.
14:40What, so you can enter the 20th month, but you can't retrieve the 20th month?
14:43Correct.
14:44No, that's wrong.
14:45It shouldn't work that way.
14:46But that is how it works.
14:47Wesley says the judge is losing his patience.
14:50If he can't produce the evidence, he's prepared to dismiss the case.
14:53Guys, this is bigger than one case.
14:56Everything Smitty and Log has been misfiled.
14:58Going back two months.
15:01Did the widow shed some light?
15:02Uh, not exactly, but her doorbell cam did.
15:04This is from two days ago.
15:05The car is registered to a Ryder Frost, known member of the Southern Front.
15:10Well, that tattoo is a match.
15:11Definitely could be our shooter.
15:12Any idea who the other fella is?
15:14Not yet, but his tats are 54th Street Gang.
15:16Besides the racial element, don't SF and the 5-4 compete for the same meth business?
15:21They did up until a few months ago when the Armenians pushed Southern Front further into the valley.
15:25But they are certainly not allies.
15:27They case the garage, but not the house.
15:29Any idea what they were looking for?
15:31We've got a last known for Ryder.
15:32We're hoping you go ask him.
15:34Wait!
15:36Control in the pursuit of suspect at Green World Lake Apartments, some backup.
15:40Come on, come on.
15:41Come on.
15:42Come on.
15:43Come on.
15:44Yeah!
15:45Yeah!
15:46Yeah!
15:47Yeah!
15:48Yeah!
15:49Yeah!
15:50Yeah!
15:51Yeah!
15:52Yeah!
15:53Yeah!
15:54Yeah!
15:55Yeah!
15:56Yeah!
15:57Yeah!
15:58Yeah!
15:59Yeah!
16:00Yeah!
16:01Yeah!
16:02Yeah!
16:03Yeah!
16:04Yeah!
16:05Yeah!
16:06Yeah!
16:07Yeah!
16:08Yeah!
16:09Yeah!
16:10Yeah!
16:11Yeah!
16:12Yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah
16:16And he couldn't root
16:26Stop!
16:29Come on Ryder, there's nowhere to go
16:32Put your hands on your head
16:33down on your knees
16:39Wait wait wait.
16:40Stop, stop.
16:41C'mon!
17:00I'm sorry, are these cases from the future?
17:02Apparently the system didn't know what to do with month 20,
17:04and so it just made the math work,
17:05and 12 months plus 8 is August 2027.
17:08Cases from 21st become September of next year and so on.
17:10This is unbelievable.
17:11The judge granted a continuance,
17:13but we need the machete by noon tomorrow.
17:15Yep, don't worry. We will have it.
17:17I'll stick around. I feel responsible.
17:18No, it's completely on me.
17:19I should have clarified.
17:20You are on your way out.
17:21Okay, you guys are both Spartacus, okay?
17:23Let's please start opening the boxes.
17:25Are you coming?
17:26No.
17:27Russ, I thought you had a flight to catch.
17:30I do, but I couldn't leave L.A. without making one last appeal.
17:33Well, I guess you better come in then.
17:37Oh!
17:39You've really made a nice life for yourself here, noon.
17:42I can, uh, I can see why you'd hesitate before giving it up,
17:47but anything I can say to convince you?
17:52Can I ask why? I'm not a doctor or a scientist.
17:56I don't have a PhD. Why are you asking me?
17:59Maybe you've been around long enough to know that having a few extra letters after your name doesn't make you a genius.
18:04I also know that if I bring you a problem, you won't rest until you've looked at it from every conceivable angle twice before bringing me a solution.
18:11But what if I can't find a solution?
18:13Hell, girl, that's why they call it a think tank.
18:15It does me no good to have a bunch of identical people with identical viewpoints looking in identical directions.
18:21Baseball team can't be all pitchers.
18:23Need somebody to play shortstop.
18:25All right. I'm gonna miss my flight if I don't get going.
18:28So, you know, take a few days to think about it.
18:30Talk it over with your man and call me.
18:33I will.
18:34You know, noon, if you don't want the job because it's not the right fit or the right time, that's fine. I get it.
18:42But deciding that you're not good enough before somebody else can, that's the coward's way.
18:48I know you're not a coward.
18:51No, sir. I'm not.
18:57Giddy up.
19:06Yeah. All right.
19:08Okay, thanks for the update.
19:10Suspect in the Central Station Market shooting fell to his death.
19:13That's awful.
19:14Yeah, guy thought he was an action hero. Tried to leap between two buildings.
19:17Any leads on the second shooter?
19:18No, but the brass has been blown up my phone.
19:20If a guy falls to his death in a police pursuit, everyone's got questions.
19:25Captain.
19:26Always a pleasure.
19:28I do not miss that.
19:30I don't think I've seen him sleep more than four consecutive hours since he took this job.
19:33I 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,
19:42the optics weren't great for him.
19:44Do you think he should be worried?
19:45I think that watch commander is a thankless job.
19:49You're not in the field, but you're responsible for every knucklehead that is.
19:52Patrol officers want resources you can't give them.
19:54The brass expects results that you realistically can't produce.
19:58And when there's bad press and they're looking for a head to roll.
20:01Right, I don't think of it that way.
20:03Because I made it look easy.
20:06You'll get the hang of it.
20:11The machete! Yes!
20:13I gotta call Wesley.
20:14All right, way to beat on that.
20:23Hey, that sounds horrible.
20:24It wasn't pretty.
20:25That's for sure.
20:26Nolan and I barely had time to twist before it was all over.
20:29Oh, so where does that leave the case?
20:31Still trying to ID the second shooter.
20:34Hmm.
20:36Hey, did you know the Armenians pushed the southern front's mess trade deeper into the...
20:40Deeper into the valley?
20:41Yep.
20:42Happened a few months ago.
20:43That's why I read every gang report the department puts out, and I haven't seen anything about that.
20:47Yeah, see, those reports only get you so far.
20:49I mean, the best information is usually through word of mouth, which is great for me, because I know people from all over the city.
20:56Well, how can I compete with that when I just got here?
20:59It takes time to cultivate that kind of trust.
21:01True, but, I mean, you'd be shocked by what some of these low-level game makers put on social media.
21:06The LA Gang subreddit is a great resource.
21:09Look, I gotta stay up anyway.
21:11I've got a 2 a.m. Zoom date with Raj.
21:13Why don't I show you some of my favorite accounts to follow?
21:16Who knows?
21:17Who knows? You might see something on Ryder.
21:20Well, all right. Let's go, coach. I'm ready.
21:23Hey, good to see ya.
21:25You, too.
21:26How you doing?
21:27Thought we might need this.
21:28Ooh. Very thoughtful.
21:30Hi.
21:31What do you guys think? Should we crack it now or save it for dinner?
21:33My vote is now.
21:34Okay.
21:35And don't be stingy with the pores.
21:38Everyone clear on the plan?
21:40Oh, yes, yes. James Snow's agreed with everything you say, and keep the starry-eyed reformer talk on our minimum.
21:46Perfect.
21:47Operation Kill a Dream is a go.
21:49Mm-hmm.
21:50He has a point.
21:52We complain all the time about undocumented witnesses being too scared to testify, instituting a policy that would protect them from deportation.
21:59That would be a game changer.
22:01I thought we were supposed to be Team Lopez.
22:04I 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 the larger point, which is we'd be opening our lives up to public scrutiny, which would be hard enough for you and me. And I worry what it'll do to the kids.
22:19So why?
22:20But I also want them to grow up knowing that their father is willing to fight for the rights of everybody, even when it's difficult.
22:27Hey, ma'am.
22:28What?
22:29You started it.
22:30Think of what I'd be in the position to influence as the DA. I could end cash bail, expand victim services, emphasize counseling.
22:39Institutional change is always hard.
22:41Right, but does that mean that I shouldn't try?
22:43What about the house?
22:45Yeah, well, we would probably have to wait on that. I mean, optics would...
22:49And you'd be fine letting public perception dictate how we live our lives?
22:53In service of real reform?
22:57Maybe.
22:58Real change requires sacrifice.
23:00But I would not do it at the expense of our family. I would need to know that you were on board.
23:04100%.
23:06Hello.
23:10Oh.
23:11Something smells good.
23:13Because I cooked.
23:15More than cooked. Candles? Should I be worried?
23:19No, not at all. I just know you had a really hard day and I wanted to do something nice for you.
23:24Oh.
23:25Yeah.
23:26Uh-huh. And, uh, what do you really want in exchange for this totally no-strings-attached feast?
23:33A conversation.
23:35About D.C.
23:37I-I didn't know we needed to have one.
23:39I know. And that is my fault.
23:41But, all day, I have not been able to get this idea out of my head.
23:46And Russ stopped by on the way to the airport and gave me his final appeal and it made me question why I was so quick to shut it down.
23:56Well-
23:57And before you tell me no or give me 100 reasons why it won't work, all I ask is that you spend some time to explore the idea.
24:05And by that you mean?
24:06See what transferring to D.C. police would look like. Make some calls, ask some questions, kick the tires.
24:13And what if we come to different conclusions?
24:16We abort the mission. Either we're both in or we're both out.
24:20We need both keys to launch the torpedoes.
24:22Yes.
24:23What do you think?
24:25I think I want you to be happy and if this is something you want then I will do everything I can from my end to see if it's feasible.
24:40We're in this together.
24:48Is it just me or these numbers starting to blend together?
24:51It is not just you.
24:52Hey, everything okay with the press?
24:54Ryder's death was ruled an accident, but there's always a chance they could reopen the case.
24:59Or blame me for this whole evidence-logging mess.
25:02Hey, just take the win.
25:04You're right.
25:05Look, I swear, if I lose Watch Commander because of Smitty.
25:09That's not gonna happen.
25:11I have been manifesting that we will find this machete all day.
25:14Manifesting?
25:15Mm-hmm.
25:16God, I got you away from waters just in time.
25:18Shut up.
25:22You gotta be kidding me.
25:23Hmm?
25:26Oh my God.
25:30This is it! This is it!
25:31Thank God.
25:32Alright, let's go home.
25:33Okay.
25:37Wait, where are you?
25:38A yurt in Finland.
25:40The Northern Lights have been amazing the last few nights.
25:43Jealous.
25:44I know.
25:45I wish you were here to see them with me.
25:46Me too.
25:47I miss you.
25:48Hey, Selena.
25:49I might have found something.
25:50So Ryder...
25:51Is that Miles? Hey, Miles.
25:52Hey, man.
25:53How's the Great White North?
25:54He saw the Aurora.
25:55Oh, cool.
25:56Who's Ryder?
25:57A suspect in a murder.
25:58Well, that sounds important.
25:59Do you need to go?
26:00No.
26:01Just give me one second.
26:02What's up?
26:03Okay, so I was looking through Ryder's Juby File.
26:05Between the ages of nine to 14, he lived in four different foster homes.
26:08One was located in the 54th Street Territory.
26:11Foster parents were Mabel and Raphael Sinclair.
26:14And Raphael died a few years ago, heart attack.
26:16But look at what I found on Mabel.
26:23Babe, I'm sorry. I gotta go.
26:24No worries. Have fun solving your murder.
26:27We will.
26:31This is Mabel Sinclair.
26:33Most of the kids in the neighborhood just call her mom.
26:35Since they know whatever they need, food, a place to stay, clean clothes, Mabel will hook them up.
26:40Well, last week, Mabel was a victim of a hit and run while crossing her street.
26:43Witnesses saw a red sedan speeding away from the scene, but no arrests have been made.
26:47Anyone care to guess what kind of car Fred Wilson drove?
26:50A red camera.
26:51So you think Fred hit Mabel?
26:53Oh, more than that.
26:55Selena ran his vent and found the body shop doing the repairs on his car.
26:59The bumper tested positive for blood.
27:01French sticks are running the sample.
27:03What's Ryder's connection to this woman?
27:04Oh, Mabel was his foster mother.
27:09That's the second shooter.
27:11That is Keyeson Holmes, 22, proud member of the 5-4 and former foster brother to Ryder Frost.
27:16So they murdered Fred Wilson as revenge for killing Mabel.
27:20Well, uh, Mabel wasn't dead.
27:26All I remember is going out to bring my trash cans in and then waking up here and they told me it was a hit and run.
27:35Unfortunately, the man suspected of hitting you with his car was murdered.
27:39We have reason to believe your former foster sons, Ryder Frost and Kingston Holmes, want revenge for what happened to you.
27:45It was painful enough losing Ryder and Kingston to the streets.
27:51I don't think I can take knowing that they killed a man because of me.
27:57We're very sorry, but I'm afraid that's not all.
28:00Ryder died yesterday trying to jump between rooftops.
28:04They were just hurt little boys underneath it all, you know?
28:08When Ryder first came to us, he was so shut down, he barely said two words to me that first month.
28:20But Kingston, he always had this way about him, this lightness, even after all he'd been through.
28:29But then they started to do everything together and bit by bit, I got to see Ryder for the sweet, sensitive boy he was.
28:48What happened?
28:49Ryder's mom came back into the picture with her skinhead boyfriend.
28:54And once he was gone, all of Kingston's light went with him.
29:00He started to act out, getting in trouble.
29:07And he was finally put away on some trumped up vandalism charge.
29:13And then he joined the gang in prison.
29:18And suddenly the two boys I saw become brothers were turned into mortal enemies by the streets.
29:31I'm sorry for how much pain this has caused you, but we like to bring Kingston in without any more bloodshed.
29:38Do you have any way of contacting him?
29:40What do you want me to say?
29:45Hey, the judge signed off on the wiretop. We should be good to go on a few.
29:50Great. What you were saying yesterday about D.C. and needing to unclench, it can't be that bad, right?
29:59All right, maybe I've just been spoiled by L.A.
30:02I'm sure the city has a lot of great things about it, but from what I saw, being a cop there just means a lot of crowd control around government offices, usually in crappy weather, snowstorms in the winter, swamp-like humidity in the summer.
30:18You get two weeks of cherry blossoms a year and that's about it.
30:22Also, speaking as someone who thought transferring to another department would be easy, be prepared to relearn everything you thought you knew.
30:31Yeah, all right, we gotta go.
30:46Mama?
30:47It's me, baby.
30:48Oh, thank God. I tried to visit you in the ICU, but they said blood family only. They made it sound like you were dying.
30:54Well, I am a little banged up, but I'll be all right.
30:57I wish I could come see you.
30:59Well, me too.
31:00You heard about Ryder?
31:05Well, you know, me and Ryder don't really mess with each other anymore.
31:10He's dead, baby. Killed. Running away from what you boys did.
31:15I don't know what you're talking about.
31:18Kingston, please. You never were a good liar.
31:25You need to turn yourself in.
31:28I can't. You know what happened the last time I went inside? I had to join the 5-4 just to make it out alive.
31:33Well, what other choice do you have?
31:35Just don't worry about me, Mom, okay? Just don't worry. I got a way out.
31:39Into Mexico where I can disappear.
31:41Mexico? What the heck do you know about Mexico?
31:44You know, Kingston, this is Detective Nyla Harper of the LAPD.
31:48Are you working with the cops?
31:50She is trying to save your life. Listen to me. If you run, things will end badly for you.
31:55But if you turn yourself in, we can try and help you.
32:01Please. He's scared. Don't hurt him.
32:06He's not a kid anymore, Miss Sinclair. He killed a man in cold blood.
32:09So now we have to go get him.
32:10Yo! What's up, Kay?
32:26They got you working the door already, huh?
32:28Damn. A little tree on the come-up.
32:31What's up, Kay?
32:32They got you working the door already, huh?
32:35Damn. A little tree on the come-up.
32:375-4 for life.
32:42Yo, P-Mac.
32:59Uh, can we talk?
33:01Sure!
33:02Come here.
33:04You good?
33:06Talk to me.
33:12I gotta... I gotta get out of town.
33:15You sure you got that hookup with the cartel tunnels into Mexico?
33:19For sure. Why? What happened?
33:22Unless you know the better. Just trust me on that.
33:25When you say trust me, I trust you, okay?
33:28Make a few phone calls. Look, relax.
33:30Have a drink. You know we got you.
33:36You know what I mean?
33:52Yo, what?
33:54I truly didn't believe you'd be stupid enough to bring your dumb ass back around here.
33:59After all the disrespect showing us.
34:02Yeah, you hidden civilians. You working with Nazis.
34:06Trace on Kingston's phone landed at 4700 Hilldale.
34:09Copy that.
34:13Pull over up here.
34:17But the address is on the next block.
34:19Yeah, you recognize that tag?
34:2254th Street.
34:24We roll up hot. We could have spotters anywhere.
34:27Exactly. Let's go.
34:28Yo, young'un.
34:37It's your big moment, man.
34:39This the moment you prove how much you love the streets by taking care of a traitor-ass bitch that's disrespecting her.
34:44This the moment you prove to me you a good soldier.
34:47And you follow orders.
34:49All right?
34:49And in return, the streets gonna lure you back.
34:52And wherever you go, the five-fold follow.
34:57For life.
34:58Now you take care of this bitch.
34:59We ain't got all day.
35:20Swat's ten minutes out. You got eyes on Kingston?
35:28Yeah.
35:29But we're looking at a potential murder in progress.
35:31We can't wait.
35:36Now smoke this fool.
35:41Police!
35:42Go, go, go!
35:44Police!
35:46Police! Drop your weapon!
35:47Show me your hands if you're up there!
36:02Go!
36:04Order!
36:07Go, go!
36:11Cover us.
36:12Go!
36:17Stay down! Stay down!
36:22Stay down!
36:34Wait!
36:35Wait, wait, wait, wait, please, please, please, please, please, please, please, please, you can just say that you didn't see me.
37:04You can say that you didn't see me.
37:06You can say that you didn't see me.
37:07Trey, please!
37:08Please.
37:08Get on your stomach.
37:10Go.
37:12Drop the gun.
37:15えて with you here.
37:16The key is processed.
37:37Ah, thank you for that.
37:39Um, look, I realized this was a bit of a tough one.
37:42You all right?
37:43I'll be all right.
37:44I know I shouldn't feel sympathy, but he's just a boy.
37:50Look, no one is saying you can't feel sympathy, but at the end of the day, he did make the
37:54choice to pull that trigger.
37:58Why don't you go home?
37:59I'll take care of the paperwork.
38:01Yes, sir.
38:03You bet.
38:05Uh, it amazes me how one man can wreak such havoc on the entire LAPD.
38:13Smitty is a force of nature.
38:16Uh, got a minute?
38:17Yeah, sure.
38:17What's up?
38:18Well, Bailey has been offered a pretty impressive job in D.C., a Pentagon think tank.
38:25And I was just wondering what a transfer to the D.C.P.D. would be like.
38:30Yeah, I can get you in touch with a few people.
38:33But you do know you would have to start at the very bottom again, including redoing the
38:38Academy.
38:39I've done it before.
38:40You were also five years younger.
38:42Yes.
38:43You would get a pretty hefty signing bonus.
38:46That's a perk.
38:46But your annual salary would be much less than you make in L.A.
38:50Plus, the cost of living in D.C. is just as expensive.
38:54So, in the long run, your bonus really won't make a difference.
38:57Especially if Bailey's only making the government salary.
39:00Right.
39:01I'm sorry if this is not the answer you were looking for.
39:04No, no.
39:04That's, um...
39:07I was just looking for the truth.
39:09Yeah, well, good luck.
39:15Hey.
39:18The L.A.P.D. would be sad to see you go.
39:21Thank you, sir.
39:29Guess what?
39:30What?
39:31We won.
39:32That's great.
39:33Did the judge give you any grief about the evidence?
39:35I think he was too confused by the explanation to challenge it.
39:40Take the win.
39:41Mm-hmm.
39:42I prepared a ten-minute lecture for tomorrow's roll call
39:44to make sure no one can ever again use ignorance as an excuse
39:47when mislabeling case numbers.
39:49You know, you're a really good watch, Commander.
39:52I'm figuring it out.
39:53No, listen.
39:54No matter what kind of craziness is going on at the station,
39:56you're always the center of calm.
39:59And the rest of us need that.
40:00I need that.
40:03Mm-hmm.
40:03Tell you what.
40:04The list of things we can't trust Smitty with is getting longer.
40:07Do you think he's doing it on purpose?
40:09Yes.
40:09Weaponized incompetence?
40:10Yeah.
40:11I don't think he's that strategic.
40:19Hey.
40:21Sorry I missed dinner.
40:24And bedtime.
40:27You should run for DA.
40:30Are you sure?
40:31Because if you're not in 100%...
40:34I'm in.
40:35The more I thought about it, the more I realized this was exactly why you joined the DA's office
40:40in the first place.
40:41Hmm.
40:42And I'm proud you want to set that example for our children,
40:45especially because every day I see firsthand the people our system has failed.
40:49And inevitably, the ones who suffer the most are other kids.
40:56You sure you're okay waiting on a new house?
40:58No.
40:59But like you said, real change requires sacrifice.
41:06And I love this house.
41:09We brought home two babies here.
41:11We also made two babies here.
41:16So we did.
41:17Mm-hmm.
41:22No food to entice me with, I see.
41:24No, but I have wine.
41:28No.
41:30Listen, I don't want to beat around the bush.
41:32I did my due diligence, and I am sorry, honey.
41:36I don't think I can do DC.
41:38It would mean starting all over again as a rookie.
41:43Only this time, instead of being 45, I'd be 50.
41:47Oh.
41:50What if...
41:51I'm not ready to say no.
41:57Well, you did say we both had to be in, or you would walk away.
42:02I know, and I meant it when I said it.
42:06But now...
42:08You still want it.
42:13So where does that leave us?
42:21We'll see you next time.
