00:00It's gay, it's gay.
00:04Hey, you're not...
00:05Nervous I'm gonna embarrass you in front of your old captain, are you?
00:07Of course not.
00:07I don't know why I'm so anxious.
00:09Russ has...
00:10Russ has always been one of my biggest champions.
00:12He'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
00:18in you.
00:19I just wish he would.
00:20He would give me some sort of idea what this is about, but that's Russ.
00:23There she is!
00:24Hey, Russ!
00:25Russ, it's so good to see you!
00:26Ah!
00:27John Nolan.
00:29Colonel Russell Wilkes.
00:30Please, call me Russ.
00:32It's a pleasure to finally meet the man behind the story.
00:34Yeah, likewise.
00:35Russ, sit down.
00:37Really appreciate you being here, John.
00:39No, I...
00:40I didn't give away too much over the phone, but what I'm here to discuss will affect both
00:43your lives, so it seems only fair to me.
00:45to include you in the conversation.
00:46The SecDef has tasked me with putting together a working group inside the...
00:50of the Pentagon.
00:50Wow.
00:51A team of my own choosing.
00:52They will spearhead bring me battlefield medicine and...
00:55of the 22nd century.
00:56It's the most consequential assignment in my career.
00:59And you were the first...
01:00I presume I'm asking to be a part of this.
01:05I mean, it's an honor just to be nominated.
01:07Totally.
01:07Russ is a genius.
01:09He could recruit...
01:10anyone in this working group.
01:11And the fact that he called me first, I mean, that's...
01:14that's pretty...
01:15great.
01:15Yeah.
01:16A hundred percent.
01:16That's so cool, but I mean, our life is perfect right now.
01:20There's no way we're messing that up.
01:22No way.
01:23Perfect.
01:25No way.
01:26No way.
01:27No way.
01:28No way.
01:29No way.
01:30Police, get down!
01:31This is Bailey Noon, L.A.F.D.
01:33I need an RA to Central Station Market.
01:35There's a male GSW victim.
01:37He's been shot in the head, in the back.
01:39Two suspects.
01:39Black hoodie.
01:40Masks and pants.
01:41One headed east towards Broadway in pursuit of second suspects.
01:45Move, move, move!
01:50Oh, yeah.
01:51No way.
01:52No way.
01:53No way.
01:54No way.
02:19Wait, are you looking at real estate?
02:21We have to upgrade.
02:23We need more room.
02:24A second.
02:25Tub, a closet that fits all our clothes.
02:27I mean, yeah, sure, that would be nice, but we created our family.
02:32Which I love, but now we're bursting at the seams and mama's ready to crack open.
02:37That trust fund and 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 way are insane.
02:47I guess it couldn't hurt to see what's out there.
02:51I love that you...
02:52You've learned to roll with me rather than resisting.
02:54Yes, you have successfully broken my spirit.
02:57Yay.
02:58Yay.
02:59Quickie before the kids wake up.
03:01Did you guys wake up?
03:02Oh, um...
03:03Whoa.
03:04Whoa.
03:05Whoa.
03:06Whoa.
03:07Whoa.
03:08Mom, come here!
03:09Too late.
03:10I like this one.
03:14I bet you could hang a swing set from that tree right there in the back.
03:17That was my favorite until...
03:19I saw this.
03:20It has a pool and a gym and...
03:24a screening room.
03:25Wait, hold up.
03:26You got a screening room kind of money?
03:27Depends on which one of us you ask.
03:29Wesley is the king of frugality.
03:31So he would definitely say no.
03:33But I lived on...
03:34the credit cards until I met him.
03:35So I'm way more comfortable pushing the envelope.
03:37Hey, Nolan.
03:38Did you...
03:39tell Officer Hart that the shooters last night were furries?
03:43No.
03:44I said they were wearing hoodies.
03:45Are you taking the case?
03:47Yeah.
03:48Do you mind just walking us through it?
03:49Yeah.
03:49Uh, Bailey and I were coming back from dinner at Central Station Market.
03:52Date night?
03:53No.
03:54Her former...
03:54commanding officer came to offer her a job.
03:57Uh, Pentagon think tank.
03:58Wow.
03:59You really married outside of your league.
04:00I know, right?
04:01So is she gonna take it?
04:02No.
04:03Uh, I mean, we look...
04:04she's getting to DC, so...
04:05it's a non-starter for us.
04:06I mean, it might be a non-starter for you, but I guarantee that you're...
04:09overachiever of a wife is seriously thinking about it.
04:12No, actually, she was laughing at...
04:14off when we talked about, oh, my God, she's actually thinking about it.
04:17Seriously.
04:18Okay.
04:19Well, no, no.
04:20If that's something she really wants to do, relocating to DC could be cool.
04:23It's not.
04:24I spent time there during my joint ops days.
04:26It took me about three weeks to unclench every time I can...
04:29came home.
04:30Thank you for that insight.
04:31So, any clarity on the victim?
04:33Fred Wilson...
04:3448, CPA, married, no kids, no criminal record.
04:38Making him an...
04:39unlikely candidate for a targeted assassination.
04:41Is there anything else about the shooters that you'd...
04:44didn't give heart?
04:45Sorry.
04:46I did not get a good look at them.
04:47What about CCTV?
04:48Anything there?
04:49They were pretty covered up.
04:51But...
04:52take a look at this.
04:54So...
04:55Well, there's no clue.
04:56I'm going to get a watch here.
04:57I'm going to get a picture, right?
04:58Unfortunately, I'm going to get the film out.
04:59I'm going to go to the film out.
05:00So let's do that.
05:01When I came to the film out, I'm going to go to the film out here.
05:03I wanted to hang out and have fun.
05:04It could be nice.
05:05I can't show you what I found.
05:06It was nice.
05:07It's like my dad, it's fun.
05:08I wanted to get the film out.
05:09My dad wanted to make it.
05:10I can't show you what I'm going to go after.
05:12I got so much.
05:13I got so much fun, I got so much fun.
05:14But hopefully, it's made fun.
05:16I got so much fun.
05:19I got this movie out.
05:20front to launder money or maybe he had a drug problem and owed them money. We're trying to get
05:25the ME to rush the talk screen, but he's dodging our calls. Oh, say no more. I'll go deliver the ask.
05:30In person, let me collect my boot.
05:35Wait, do you know what this is? An iron? You know what it's not? A machete.
05:40I am due in court in two hours to testify about a man attacking people on a bus with a machete.
05:45Okay, something must have got switched around in the evidence locker. We'll figure it out.
05:47No, no, no. The case is time not waived.
05:50We don't find it fast. That psycho is going to be let free.
05:52Okay, have you told the prosecutor?
05:54No.
05:55It's Wesley, and I am just trying to keep him in blissful ignorance as long as possible.
05:59Help.
06:00Help me.
06:00That's the case number.
06:01No, I know, but it's wrong.
06:03The case number isn't wrong. The eye-
06:05The data might be wrong, but numbers are just numbers.
06:09Fine.
06:10So, the point is, I have to be at court, and I need-
06:15That machete, like, ASAP.
06:16Case number?
06:17Oh, okay.
06:18Uh, we're not going to find it by using the case number.
06:20The numbers got switched.
06:21Well, if you don't have the case number, then I can't help you.
06:23Oh, Wesley's going to kill me.
06:24It's-
06:25Maybe it's just a typo, right?
06:28The first eight numbers are the date.
06:29The crime was-
06:30The crime was on January 20th.
06:31Try 2010-2026.
06:35Try 2002-01-2026.
06:40Wow, 2001-2025.
06:45Are you sure he-
06:50Did you use the new data entry procedure?
06:51We changed it a few months ago.
06:53Of course I did.
06:54I-
06:54I-
06:55But I wasn't the one who logged the entry because you wouldn't approve the-
07:00over time.
07:00I had Smitty do it.
07:04What?
07:05What the hell is your problem?
07:06Uh, good morning?
07:07I have bent over backwards to treat you-
07:10Well, and this is how you repay me.
07:11I don't-
07:12I'm sorry.
07:12I don't know what's happening right now.
07:13Like hell.
07:14You know-
07:15Your little innocence act would be a lot more believable if they weren't in your office.
07:18Just know this.
07:20If you go through with it, I will do everything in my power to absolutely destroy you.
07:25Yeah.
07:26Yeah.
07:26Yep.
07:28Yeah.
07:29Yeah.
07:29Yeah.
07:30Hi, who are you? What are you doing in my office and why has it sent Vivian into a rage?
07:35Rita Sanchez. This is Bradley Wirth. We work with the Democratic Party and...
07:40We want you to run for district attorney.
07:42And now it makes sense. That's a hard no.
07:45For me, by the way. But thanks for stopping by.
07:47Look, you obviously know that Vivian Eckhart's running on a post since Del Monte dropped out of the race.
07:50Yeah, but that was a month ago. Why come to me now?
07:52Candidly, we've been having a hard time finding someone to take up...
07:55his mantle.
07:56So I'm your last choice?
07:59Hardly.
08:00Look, Mr. Evers, I wish there was time for us to...
08:05to do our usual dance of seduction and ego stroking. But as you rightly pointed out, we're up against...
08:10the deadline to enter this race is in three days.
08:12And Vivian becoming DA's worst case scenario for the people...
08:15of the city. I mean, she has the most regressive record in your office.
08:18Oh, I agree. But there's zero chance...
08:20of me beating her. I was temporarily disbarred.
08:22Because of your dealings with Elijah Stone. We know.
08:24Yeah, and we are...
08:25prepared to embrace that.
08:26I mean, you're a hero who put his life and career on the line to take down a very...
08:30dangerous kingpin. Voters love a man who's willing to stand up for what's right.
08:34Not to mention...
08:35you're married to a cop.
08:36Which automatically makes you a more attractive candidate to anyone worried that progressive...
08:40means soft on crime.
08:41Look, I don't want Vivian to win any more than you do, but I...
08:45But nothing. A Vivian victory will hurt a lot of people. And right now you're our last hope.
08:50It's stopping her. It may be a long shot, but isn't it worth the risk?
08:55I thought you didn't have time to stroke my ego.
09:00You have to let me see him.
09:02I don't actually...
09:03On TV, the family has to...
09:05to identify the body.
09:06Yeah, we don't do that anymore.
09:07That's right, ma'am. It's no longer possible.
09:10But trust me, it's for the best. Seeing your loved one like that, it...
09:15it changes how you remember them forever.
09:17I don't understand.
09:20Fred was a saint. Why would someone want to kill him?
09:23Well, that's what we're trying to figure out.
09:25He's really dead.
09:27Yes, ma'am. I'm afraid so. And...
09:30we are so sorry for your loss.
09:32Okay. Thank you.
09:35Thanks for the assist.
09:39Thanks for the assist.
09:40Grief makes people a little... crazy.
09:42And I don't like dealing with them when they're normal.
09:44Why, you were...
09:45sick with the dead, I suppose.
09:48Uh, anything jump out at you?
09:50The preliminary autopsy?
09:51No. Uh, run-of-the-mill gun homicide.
09:53The bullet to the head killed him instantly.
09:55But the shot to the body was fatal as well.
09:57Any signs of drug use?
09:58No, but, uh...
10:00The talk screen is underway.
10:01I'll let Harper and Lopez know the second it comes in.
10:04Perfect. Thank you.
10:05Thank you very much.
10:06I once had a widower insist on seeing his wife's body
10:09back when I was in Sugar Land.
10:10Ended up suing the city for mental anguish.
10:12Did he win?
10:13No. Case got dismissed.
10:15When he was convicted of her murder.
10:16Wow.
10:20Police, let her go.
10:21Whoa!
10:22Hi, hi.
10:23It's all... it's all good.
10:24She's... she's fine.
10:25I'm...
10:25I'm fine.
10:26Yeah, I can see that.
10:27But two minutes ago, you were grieving.
10:29I'm still...
10:30It manifests itself in unknowable ways.
10:33Right.
10:34But you brought your boyfriend to help you...
10:35identify your husband's body?
10:36I...
10:37I...
10:38Needed...
10:39Emotional support.
10:40She's very sensitive.
10:41Yeah.
10:42Well, you can emotionally support each other on the way to this...
10:45station.
10:46Let's go.
10:47Oh.
10:48This way.
10:49This way?
10:50Yes.
10:51Okay.
10:52Put your hands down.
10:50Yes, sir.
10:51Wow.
10:52I know this looks bad.
10:54Under...
10:55Understatement.
10:56Your husband was murdered, and in less than 24 hours, you were getting busy.
11:00with your side piece down the hall from his body.
11:03I didn't even want to be there.
11:05Uh...
11:06I told Faith it would look weird, but...
11:08she insisted.
11:09So you...
11:10you were just trying to be a good boyfriend.
11:12Todd...
11:13is a terrible boyfriend.
11:15He's a lot of fun, but anything that requires emotional depth.
11:18Okay, what about Fred?
11:19What was he like?
11:20He was always super cool.
11:22Anytime that I came by...
11:24You're saying Fred...
11:25knew about the affair?
11:26It wasn't an affair.
11:27It...
11:28was an open...
11:29marriage.
11:30The whole thing was Fred's idea.
11:32Guy wanted a little bit of peace.
11:34Is it possible...
11:35that Todd wanted you all to himself?
11:37Listen, I am...
11:39twice divorced.
11:40I am...
11:41still paying alimony to the first.
11:43I am...
11:44not trying to put a ring...
11:45on it.
11:46There's a reason why Todd is divorced.
11:49Todd is...
11:50a good time.
11:51Like Coney Island.
11:52Fred, on the other hand...
11:54was...
11:55deep...
11:56and...
11:58soulful...
11:59and...
12:00romantic.
12:01Like...
12:02Paris.
12:05Coney Island is fun to visit...
12:07but you don't...
12:08move there.
12:09Oh, her...
12:10Paris.
12:11What do you think?
12:12I think people are crazy.
12:13But...
12:14neither of them is a physical matter.
12:15and that's where the shooters...
12:16Still doesn't rule out murder for hire.
12:18Well...
12:19Yeah.
12:20Wesley up to this.
12:21No idea what you're talking about...
12:23but if it's pissing you off...
12:24I'm...
12:25happy to take credit.
12:26If he insists on moving forward...
12:28I can't guarantee that I'll be able to keep you...
12:30out of the crossfire.
12:33Did she just threaten me?
12:34Sure she...
12:35It seems like it.
12:36But...
12:37Why?
12:38No idea.
12:39But I'm gonna find out.
12:40Oh, husband.
12:42You only call me husband when you're mad.
12:44What did I do?
12:45You tell me.
12:46Vivian just stopped by.
12:47She told you I was running for DA.
12:49Wait.
12:50Since when?
12:51No, no, no.
12:52Wait.
12:53It got sprung on me this morning.
12:54What does that mean?
12:55Some people came to talk to me about taking over Sean's campaign.
12:57And you told them no.
12:58I did.
13:00Initially.
13:01Initially.
13:02But...
13:03But...
13:04Now you're thinking about it?
13:05I mean...
13:05I'd at least like to discuss it.
13:06But...
13:07I am supposed to be on my way to court right now.
13:09Only Lucy texted...
13:10to tell me that our key piece of evidence is missing.
13:12So is there any chance that we can just table this until tonight?
13:14Fine.
13:15But only because yelling at you in the bullpen might come across as unprofessional.
13:19I love you.
13:20Oh my God.
13:21You got random words.
13:22Right.
13:24What was what?
13:25What's wrong name?
13:27What's wrong?
13:28I think people had some type and...
13:30What have I thought about who the eighties are one pic?
13:33What is wrong?
13:34Yeah.
13:36No.
13:39What is wrong?
13:42Now let's go.
13:44Okay.
13:44All right.
13:45That's it.
13:45That's okay.
13:46Anyway.
13:47was causing all of these issues for us with our international cases, which is why we switched.
13:52You know, didn't you read the memo? Sorry, wait, I just heard that out loud.
13:57Of course he didn't. Important memos are always covered in the roll call.
14:02Why do I have a panicked ADA knocking on my door to ask for my help to find a missing machete?
14:07Because Smitty wasn't listening when he went over the change in how we filed case numbers.
14:11What? The...
14:12Day, month, year thing? Yeah.
14:14I didn't go over it. My last day as watch commander was crazy.
14:17I left it for you to do.
14:18I thought you handled it.
14:19Oh, it's not my fault. It's yours.
14:21Everyone got the...
14:22The memo is still your fault, Smitty.
14:23Well, it's still on him for trusting me.
14:25I didn't trust you. I thought he covered it.
14:27And I just didn't follow up. I can't believe I dropped the ball out.
14:29I don't care whose fault it is. I need the machete.
14:32Smitty used the old system, right? Try 01, 20, 20, 20...
14:37I can't. It's a drop-down menu. There's no 20th month.
14:41Well, let's see. You can enter the 20th month.
14:42But you can't retrieve the 20th month?
14:43Correct.
14:44No, that's wrong. It shouldn't work that way.
14:46But that is...
14:47That's how it works.
14:48Wesley says the judge is losing his patience.
14:51If you can't...
14:52If you introduce the evidence, he's prepared to dismiss the case.
14:55Guys, this is bigger than one case.
14:57Everything Smitty and Log has been misfiled. Going back two months.
15:02Did the widow shed some light?
15:03Not exactly, but her doorbell cam did. This is from two days ago. The car is...
15:07registered to a Ryder Frost, known member of the Southern Front.
15:11Well, that tattoo is...
15:12Definitely could be our shooter. Any idea who the other fella is?
15:15Not yet, but his tats are 54th Street game.
15:17Besides the racial element, don't SF and the 54 compete for the same meth business?
15:22No.
15:22They did up until a few months ago when the Armenians pushed Southern Front further into the valley.
15:26But they are certainly...
15:27They are certainly not allies.
15:28They case the garage, but not the house. Any idea what they were looking for?
15:32We've got a last known for Ryder. We're hoping you go ask him.
15:37Let's go.
15:38Let's go.
15:39Let's go.
15:40Let's go.
15:41Let's go.

15:57Let's go.
15:58Let's go.
16:00Let's go.
16:01Let's go.
16:02Let's go.
16:03Let's go.

16:26Stop.
16:27Let's go.
16:28Let's go.
16:29Let's go.
16:30Come on, Ryder.
16:31There's nowhere to go.
16:32Put your hands on your head.
16:34Down on your knees.
16:37Let's go.
16:38Let's go.
16:39Wait, wait, wait.
16:40Stop.
16:41Stop.
16:42Let's go.

16:52Let's go.
16:54Let's go.
16:55Let's go.
16:56Let's go.
16:57Let's go.
17:00I'm sorry.
17:01Are these cases from the future?
17:02Apparently the system didn't know what to do with month 20 and so it just made the math work and 12 months plus 8.
17:07Is August 20, 27.
17:08Yeah.
17:09Cases from 21st become September of next year and so on.
17:11This is unbelievable.
17:12The judge granted a continuance but we need the machete by noon tomorrow.
17:16Yep.
17:17Don't worry.
17:17We will have it.
17:18I'll stick around.
17:19I feel responsible.
17:20It's completely on me.
17:21I should have clarified.
17:22You are on your way out.
17:22Okay.
17:23You guys are both Spartacus.
17:24Okay.
17:25Let's please start opening the boxes.
17:26Are you coming?
17:27No.
17:27Russ, I thought you had a flight to catch.
17:31I do.
17:32But I couldn't leave LA without making one last appeal.
17:34Well, I guess you better come in then.
17:37Oh, really made a nice life.
17:42Let's wrap yourself here noon.
17:43I can see why you'd hesitate.
17:47If we're giving it up, but anything I can say to convince you?
17:52Can I ask why?
17:53I'm not a doctor or a scientist.
17:56I just-
17:57I don't have a PhD.
17:58Why are you asking me?
18:00Maybe I've been around long enough to know that-
18:02Having 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-
18:07Until you've looked at it from every conceivable angle, twice, before bringing me a solution.
18:12But what if I can't find a solution?
18:14Hell, girl, that's why they call it a think tank.
18:16It does me no good to have a bunch of-
18:17A bunch of identical people with identical viewpoints looking in identical directions.
18:22All right.
18:23Baseball team can't be all pitchers.
18:24You need somebody to play shortstop.
18:25All right.
18:27I miss my flight if I don't get going.
18:29So, you know, take a few days to think about it.
18:31Talk it over.
18:32Talk it over with your man.
18:33Come call me.
18:34I will.
18:37You know, Noon.
18:38If you don't want the job because it's not the right fit or the right time-
18:42That's fine.
18:43I get it.
18:44But deciding that you're not good enough before somebody else can-
18:47That's the coward's way.
18:48I know you're not a coward.
18:52No, sir.
18:53I'm not.
18:54I'm not.
18:57I was.
18:58I got it.
18:59Giddyop.
19:02Yeah.
19:07All right.
19:09Okay, thanks for the update.
19:11Suspect.
19:12In the Central Station Market shooting fell to his death.
19:14That's awful.
19:15Yeah, I thought he was an action hero.
19:16I tried to leap between...
19:17Any leads on the second shooter?
19:19No, but the brass has been blown up my phone.
19:21If a guy falls...
19:22There's a death in a police pursuit.
19:23Everyone's got questions.
19:26Captain.
19:27Always a pleasure.
19:30I do not miss that.
19:31I don't think I've seen him sleep...
19:32More than four consecutive hours since he took this job.
19:34I know being sidelined for the president's visit...
19:37It shook Tim up.
19:38And even though it was more of a CYA decision by the brass, an indictment...
19:42on his performance.
19:43The optics weren't great for him.
19:45Do you think he should be worried?
19:46I...
19:47I think that watch commander is a thankless job.
19:50You're not in the field, but you're responsible for every nothing...
19:52the typical head that is...
19:53Patrol officers want resources you can't give them.
19:55The brass expects results that you...
19:57realistically can't produce and when there's bad press and they're looking for a
20:02the role because I made it look easy
20:07you'll get the hang of it
20:12the machete yes I gotta call Wesley I wait to be no man
20:17I got a crack in my tooth
20:22oh yeah that sounds horrible it wasn't pretty that's for sure
20:27Nolan and I barely had time to twist before it was all over
20:30so where does that leave the gate
20:32still trying to ID the second shooter
20:37hey did you know the Armenians pushed the southern front's mestrate deeper into the
20:42valley yep happened a few months ago
20:44that's what I read every game report the department puts out
20:47and I haven't seen anything about that
20:48yeah see those reports only get you so far
20:50I mean the best information
20:52is usually through word of mouth which is great for me because I know people from all over the city
20:57well how can I compete with that when I just got here
21:00it takes time to cultivate that com
21:02true but I mean you'd be shocked by what some of these low-level game makers put on social
21:07media the LA gang subreddit is a great resource
21:10look I gotta stay up
21:12anyway I've got a 2 a.m. zoom date with Raj
21:15why don't I show you some of my favorite accounts
21:17accounts to follow who knows you might see something on writer
21:20all right let's go
21:22coach I'm ready
21:23hey good to see you
21:26you too
21:26thank you
21:27thought we might need this
21:28ooh very thoughtful
21:31what do you guys think
21:32should we crack it now or save it for dinner
21:34my vote is now
21:35okay
21:36and don't be stingy with the pores
21:37everyone clear on the plan
21:40oh yes yes
21:41jamie snows
21:42agree with everything you say
21:43and keep the starry-eyed reformer talk on a minimum
21:47perfect
21:48operation kill a dream is a go
21:50mm-hmm
21:51he has a point
21:52we complain all the time about undocumented witnesses being too scared to testify
21:57instituting a policy that will protect them from deportation that would be a game-changer
22:02I thought I was supposed to be Team Lopez
22:04I know but it's a good idea
22:06I'm not
22:07saying it's not a good idea but I think we're getting away from the larger point which is
22:12we'd be opening our lives up to public scrutiny which would be hard enough for you and me
22:17and I worry what it'll do to the kids
22:20so do I
22:22but I also want them to grow up knowing that their father is willing to fight for the rights of everybody
22:27even when it's difficult
22:28hey ma'am
22:29what?
22:30you started it
22:31you started it
22:32think of what I'd be in the position to influence as the DA
22:35I could end cash bail
22:37expand victim services
22:39emphasize counseling
22:40institutional changes
22:41institutional changes
22:42it's always hard
22:43right but does that mean that I shouldn't try
22:45what about the house?
22:47yeah
22:48yeah well we would probably have to wait on that
22:49I mean optics wouldn't
22:50and you'd be fine
22:51letting public
22:52perception dictate how we live our lives
22:54in service of real reform
22:55in service of real reform
22:57maybe
22:59real change requires sacrifice
23:02but I would not do it at the expense of our family
23:04I would need to know that you were on board
23:05100%
23:07no
23:09no
23:10no
23:11no
23:12no
23:13no
23:14god
23:15no
23:16no
23:17no
23:18oh
23:19Should I be worried?
23:20No, not at all.
23:21I just know you had a really hard day
23:23and I wanted to do some-
23:24something nice for you.
23:25Ooh.
23:26Yeah.
23:27Uh-huh. And, uh...
23:29What do you really want in exchange
23:31for this totally no-strings-attached feast?
23:34A conversation...
23:37about DC.
23:38I-I didn't know-
23:39We needed to have one.
23:40I know.
23:41And that is my fault.
23:42But...
23:43all day-
23:44I have not been able to get this idea out of my head.
23:47And Russ stopped by.
23:49on the way to the airport
23:50and gave me his final appeal
23:52and it made me question...
23:54why I was so quick to shut it down.
23:57Well-
23:58And before you tell me no or-
23:59give me 100 reasons why it won't work.
24:01All I ask is that you spend some time-
24:04to explore the idea.
24:05And by that you mean-
24:06See you at transferring to DC poli-
24:08See you at transferring to DC poli-
24:09what the police would look like.
24:10Make some calls.
24:11Ask some questions.
24:12Kick the tires.
24:13And-
24:14what if we come to different conclusions?
24:17We abort the mission.
24:19Either we're both in
24:20or we're both out.
24:21We need both keys to launch the torpedoes.
24:23Yes.
24:24What do you think?
24:25What do you think?
24:29What do you think?
24:30I think I want you to be happy and-
24:32If this is something-
24:33I think I want you to be happy and-
24:34If this is something-
24:34you want, then I will do everything I can from my end to see if it's feasible.
24:39We're in this together.
24:44We're in this together.
24:49Is it just me or these numbers starting to blend together?
24:52It is not just you.
24:54Are you okay with the press?
24:55Ryder's death was ruled an accident, but there's always a chance.
24:59They could reopen the case or blame me for this whole evidence-logging mess.
25:03Hey, just...
25:04Take the win.
25:05You're right.
25:07I swear, if I lose Watch Commander because of Smitty...
25:10That's not gonna happen.
25:11I have been manifesting that we will find this machete all day.
25:15Manifesting?
25:16Mm-hmm.
25:17God, I got you away from waters just in time.
25:19Shut up.
25:20You gotta be kidding me.
25:23Hmm?
25:24Huh?
25:27Oh my God.
25:29Okay.
25:38Where are you a yurt in Finland the northern lights have been
25:43Amazing the last few nights jealous. I know I wish you were here to see them with me me, too
25:48I miss you. Hey, Selena, I might have found something so Ryder
25:51Yeah, Miles. Hey, Miles
25:53Hey, man, how's the great white north? He saw the Aurora. Oh, cool. Who's Ryder? Oh, suspect
25:58in a murder. Well, that sounds important. Do you need to go? No, just give me one second
26:03What's up? Okay, so I was looking through Ryder's jewelry file between the ages of 9 to 14
26:08He lived in four different foster homes one was located in the 54th Street territory foster parents were
26:13Mabel and Raphael Sinclair and Raphael died a few years ago heart attack, but look
26:18at what I found on maple
26:23Babe, I'm sorry. I gotta go. No worries. Have fun solving your
26:28murder. We will
26:33This is Mabel Sinclair most of the kids in the neighborhood just call her mom since they know what everything
26:38If you need food, a place to stay clean clothes, Mabel will hook them up. Well, last week Mabel was a victim
26:43of a hit and run while crossing her street witnesses saw a red sedan speeding away from the scene, but
26:48no arrests have been made. Anyone care to guess what kind of car Fred Wilson drove?
26:51A red Camry
26:53So you think Fred hit Mabel? Oh, more than that. Selina ran his bin and found a box
26:58shop doing the repairs on his car the bumper tested positive for blood
27:03Six are running the sample. What's Ryder's connection to this woman? Oh, Mabel was his foster mother
27:08That's the second shooter. That is Keeson
27:13Holmes 22 proud member of the 5-4 and former foster brother to Ryder Frost
27:18So they murdered Fred Wilson as revenge for killing Mabel
27:21Wow
27:23Mabel wasn't dead
27:27All I really...
27:28I remember is going out to bring my trash cans in and then we...
27:33I was waking up here and they told me it was a hit and run. Unfortunately, the man suspected...
27:38of hitting you with his car was murdered. We have reason to believe your former foster sons, Ryder
27:43Frost and Kingston homes want a revenge for what happened to you
27:48It was painful enough losing Ryder and Kingston to the streets. I don't think I...
27:53can take knowing that they killed a man because of me
27:58We're very sorry
28:00But I'm afraid that's not all. Ryder died yesterday
28:03Trying to jump between rooftops
28:05They were just hurt little boys
28:08And I didn't leave at all you know
28:09When Ryder first came to us he was...
28:13He's so shut down.
28:18He barely said two words to me that first month, the Kingston, he always...
28:23He always had this way about him, this lightness.
28:28Even after all he'd been through, but then...
28:33He started to do everything together.
28:38And bit by bit, I got to...
28:43See Ryder for the sweet, sensitive boy he was.
28:48What happened?
28:49Ryder's mom came back into the picture.
28:53With her skinhead boyfriend.
28:55And once he was gone, all of...
28:58Kingston's light went with him.
29:01He started to...
29:03Act out, getting in trouble.
29:08And he was finally put away on some trumped up vandalism.
29:13Charge.
29:14And then...
29:15He joined the gang.
29:18In prison.
29:21And suddenly...
29:23The two boys I saw become brothers.
29:28Were turned into mortal enemies by the streets.
29:32I'm...
29:33I'm sorry for how much pain this has caused you.
29:35But we like to bring Kingston in without any more bloodsh-
29:38Shed.
29:39Do you have any way of contacting him?
29:41Sigh.
29:42Sigh.
29:43Sigh.
29:44Sigh.
29:45Sigh.
29:46What do you want me to say?
29:48Sigh.
29:49Hey, the judge signed off on the wiretop.
29:50We should be good to go on a few.
29:51Great.
29:52Uh...
29:53What you were saying yesterday about DC and needing to unclench...
29:58It can't be that bad, right?
29:59Uh...
30:00All right.
30:01Maybe I've just...
30:02I've been spoiled.
30:03By L.A.
30:04I'm sure the city has a lot of great things about it.
30:06But from what I saw...
30:08Being a cop there just means a lot of crowd control around government offices.
30:13Usually...
30:13In crappy weather, snowstorms in the winter, swamp-like humidity in the...
30:18Summer, you get two weeks of cherry blossoms a year and that's about it.
30:23Uh...
30:24Also, speaking as someone who thought transferring to another department would be easy...
30:28Be prepared to relearn everything you thought you knew.
30:32Yeah.
30:33All right.
30:34We gotta go.
30:38Be prepared to make sure you wanted to come to our desk.
30:39Uh...
30:40Uh...
30:41Uh...
30:42Uh...
30:43Uh...
30:43I don't know.
30:44I don't know.
30:45I don't know.
30:47I don't know.
30:48It's me, baby.
30:49Oh, thank God.
30:51I tried to visit you and ask you, but they said...
30:53Well, I am a little banged up, but I'll be all right.
30:58I wish I could come see you.
31:00Well, me too.
31:01You heard about...
31:03Ryder?
31:06Oh, you know...
31:07Me and Ryder...
31:08We don't really mess with each other anymore.
31:11He's dead, baby.
31:12Kill.
31:13You're cold.
31:14Running away from what you boys did.
31:16I don't know.
31:18I don't know what you're talking about.
31:19Kingston, please.
31:21You never were a...
31:23I'm a good liar.
31:24You need to...
31:28tear yourself in.
31:29I can't.
31:30You know what happened the last time I went inside?
31:32I had to join the 542...
31:33just to make it out alive.
31:34What other choice do you have?
31:36Just don't worry about me, Mom, okay?
31:37Just don't...
31:38Don't worry.
31:39I got a way out.
31:40Into Mexico where I can disappear.
31:42Mexico where...
31:43What the heck do you know about Mexico?
31:45You know, Kingston, this is Detective Nyla...
31:48Harper of the LAPD.
31:49Are you working with the cops?
31:51She is trying to save your life...
31:53Listen to me.
31:54If you run, things will end badly for you.
31:56But if you turn yourself in...
31:58we can try and help you...
31:59...
32:00...
32:01...
32:02...
32:03...
32:03But please...
32:04He's scared.
32:05Don't hurt him.
32:07He's not a kid anymore.
32:08Miss Sinclair.
32:09He killed a man in cold blood.
32:10So now we have to go get him.
32:11So now we have to go get him.
32:13...
32:14...
32:15...
32:16...
32:17...
32:18...
32:19...
32:21...

34:50And in return, the streets gonna lure you back.

35:28Yeah, but we're looking at a potential murder in progress.

37:34Go!
37:35Go!
37:36Go!
37:37Ah, thank you for that.
37:39Um, look, I realize this was a bit of a talk.
37:42Tough one. You all right?
37:44I'll be all right.
37:46I know I shouldn't feel...
37:47A little sympathy, but...
37:49He's just a boy.
37:51Look, no one is saying you can't...
37:52I feel sympathy.
37:53But at the end of the day,
37:54he did make the choice to pull that trigger.
37:57Why don't you go home?
37:59I'll take care of the paperwork.
38:00Yes, sir.
38:03You bet.
38:05Uh...
38:07It amazes me how one man can wreak such...
38:12There's a lot of havoc on the entire LAPD.
38:14Smitty is a force of nature.
38:16Uh, got a minute?
38:17Yeah, Sean, what's up?
38:18Well, Bailey has been offered a pretty impressive...
38:22job in D.C., a Pentagon think tank.
38:25And I was just wondering what a...
38:27transfer to the DCPD would be like.
38:30Yeah, I can get you and...
38:32touch with a few people.
38:34But you do know you would have to start at the very bottom again.
38:37including redoing the Academy.
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.
38:47But your annual salary would be much less than you make in L.A.
38:51Plus the cost of living...
38:52in D.C. is just as expensive.
38:54So in the long run, your bonus really won't make...
38:57a difference.
38:58Especially if Bailey's only making the government salary.
39:00Right.
39:01I'm sorry.
39:02if this is not the answer you were looking for.
39:04No, no.
39:05That's, um...
39:07I was just looking for the truth.
39:09Yeah, well...
39:10good luck.
39:15Hey.
39:17The L.A.P.D. would be sad to see you go.
39:22Thank you, sir.
39:23Stoned in Salem...
39:26Saw...
39:27Guess where?
39:29Where then?
39:30We went!
39:31We went!
39:32We went!
39:33That's great!
39:34Did the judge give you any grief about the evidence?
39:36I think he was...
39:37Too 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...
39:47as an excuse when mislabeling case numbers.
39:49You know...
39:50You're a really good watch comm...
39:52Commander.
39:53I'm figuring it out.
39:54No, listen.
39:55No matter what kind of craziness is going on at the station, you're...
39:57always the center of comm.
39:59And the rest of us need that.
40:00I need that.
40:03Mm-hmm.
40:04Tell you what, list of things we can't trust Smitty with is getting longer.
40:07Do you think he's doing it on purpose?
40:09Weaponizing competence?
40:10Yeah.
40:11I don't think he's going to...
40:12I'm a teacher.
40:13I don't think he's going to be a teacher.
40:14I don't think he's going to be a teacher.
40:17I don't think he's going to be a teacher.
40:19I don't think he's going to be a teacher.
40:20Hey.
40:21Sorry I missed it.
40:22I'm going to be a teacher.
40:23I'm just going to get that.
40:24I'm going to eat a little bit better.
40:25And bedtime.
40:27You should run for D.A.
40:30Are you sure?
40:32Because if you're not in 100%...
40:34I'm in.
40:35The more I thought about it, the more I...
40:37I realized this was exactly why you joined the D.A.'s office in the first place.
40:42And I'm proud you want to set that example for our children, especially because every day...
40:47I see firsthand the people, our system has failed.
40:51And inevitably...
40:52The ones who suffer the most are other kids.
40:56You sure you are?
40:57Are you okay waiting on a new house?
40:58No.
41:00But like you said...
41:02Real change requires sacrifice.
41:07I love this house.
41:09You brought home two babies here.
41:11Yeah.
41:13We also made two babies here.
41:15We also made two babies here.
41:17So we did it.
41:18Mm-hmm.
41:23No food to entice me with, I see.
41:25No, but I have one.
41:27Wine.
41:31Listen, I don't want to...
41:32Beat around the bush.
41:33I did my due diligence.
41:34And I am sorry, honey.
41:36I don't think...
41:37The only thing I can do, D.C.
41:38It would mean starting all...
41:42Over again as a rookie.
41:43Only this time, instead of being 45, I'd be 50.
41:47Oh.
41:51What if...
41:52It's time for me to leave...
41:54I'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.
42:03And I meant it when I said it.
42:07But now...
42:09You still want it.
42:12So what does that leave us?
42:17Bye, bye.
42:18Bye.
42:19Bye.
42:22You
42:27You
42:32You
42:37You
42:42You
42:47You
42:52You
42:54You
42:57You
43:02You
