00:00Previously on The Rookie.
00:02Detective Harper, did you tell my client I will find a way to hang these murders around your neck and
00:06lock you away forever?
00:08As an officer of the court, I have no choice but to report your conduct with Glasser to internal affairs.
00:16We should go to D.C.
00:17John.
00:17No, I mean it.
00:18We are strong enough to navigate the separation.
00:21And you really want it.
00:247 Adam 15 and Adam 300 to monitor.
00:271067 in the alley at 4th and Cole.
00:30Woman covered in blood, pounding on doors.
00:41Not 15, code 6.
00:47Any more information from that 911 call?
00:49No, just a bloody woman in distress.
01:06Guys, we got blood here.
01:09Adam 300, requesting additional units.
01:12Copy that, Adam 300.
01:13Additional units in a row.
01:17Pulling your weight
01:20Through the sky
01:30No, easy.
01:31Easy.
01:32I got you.
01:33Get the med kit.
01:34Request RA female victim, multiple stab wounds.
01:37You'll be all right.
01:38We have an ambulance on the way.
01:39You're in your location.
01:43Jordan.
01:44Jordan?
01:45Is that who hurt you?
01:52Sure.
01:53I don't know.
01:56Adam 300, be advised.
01:58That man in a vault.
02:19Control, we have another victim in a van.
02:22Control, we have another victim in a van.
02:44Hey, I'm sorry for inviting myself over like this.
02:48No, no, no, no.
02:48James has the school run this morning, so...
02:51I'm all good.
02:53Show me.
02:54So, Jordan Sharp, Courtney Sutton.
02:57Best friends since Palm's Middle School.
02:59No criminal records, no fixed address.
03:01Jordan's parents say that they were taking a year off
03:03to do the whole van life thing,
03:04trying to chart a path post-college.
03:06Is there an early theory on why they were brutalized?
03:08According to Border Control,
03:09they were going back and forth to Baja, Mexico,
03:11six times just this year.
03:13So, drug mules.
03:15Yeah.
03:15Pretty girls with clean records.
03:17That is a cartel's dream.
03:19Border Patrol just waves them through.
03:21Yeah, I mean, young women like this
03:22with the confidence to just go out into the world
03:24and deal with whatever it hands them,
03:26they're usually pretty naive about the world.
03:28I know I was.
03:30Hold up.
03:31You were hashtag van life.
03:33I dropped out of grad school
03:35and took a little bit of time to find myself.
03:37I spent nine months showering outdoors
03:39and eating roadside burritos.
03:40Oh, okay.
03:41We are going to put a pin in that conversation.
03:43Any clue on who they could be mewling for?
03:46You know, their social media posts...
03:48Um, where is it?
03:50Yeah, okay.
03:51It's said that they spent a lot of time in Scorpion Bay.
03:53That is Costa Sangre's territory.
03:56Well, that explains the brutality of the murders.
03:59The cartel was trying to send a message.
04:00I mean, but why?
04:01It could be a dozen reasons.
04:02They screwed up, they stole,
04:04they were in the wrong place at the wrong time.
04:07My love, defensive wounds like this,
04:09they fought like hell to survive.
04:11I mean, the last thing Courtney did
04:13was try to just get her friend help.
04:16I know they made mistakes,
04:18but they did not deserve to die like this.
04:19This is crazy.
04:20No, they didn't.
04:22I want in on this.
04:24Now?
04:27And you charged your headphones?
04:28Yes.
04:29And you remembered to pack everything?
04:30Yep.
04:31Your night guard?
04:32Nope.
04:33Oh, gosh.
04:36And contact lens solution.
04:38Dang it!
04:42How did you know exactly what I'd forget?
04:45You've never once remembered in all our travels.
04:47Really?
04:47Yeah.
04:48I learned to ask for a contact lens solution
04:49in four languages.
04:51Are you going to do okay?
04:53I'm fine.
04:54We are going to be fine.
04:56We're going to be better than fine.
04:58This is a trial run.
04:59It's five days.
05:00I'm going to go look for an apartment,
05:01meet the new team.
05:02I'm now moving, moving,
05:03until the end of the month.
05:08The car is here.
05:09I got to go.
05:11I love you.
05:12I love you.
05:15Go.
05:16Okay.
05:17Bye.
05:18Bye.
05:24Now, it's a non-starter.
05:26Look, you want to call down
05:27the wrath of God
05:27on Costa Sangre in L.A.?
05:28I'm all in.
05:29An undercover op
05:30with Lucy in Mexico?
05:31Forget it.
05:32We got no jurisdiction.
05:33TID found a cigarette pack
05:34in the weeds under the van.
05:36Mexican packaging.
05:37And the girls don't smoke.
05:39Finding a pack
05:39of Mexican cigarettes in L.A.
05:41is not out of the ordinary.
05:42Yeah, but there are other
05:42key forensics
05:43that also point to Mexico.
05:44And the murders were gruesome,
05:46even for the cartel.
05:47If that was done by a local,
05:49the streets would be buzzing,
05:50and I have heard nothing.
05:52I don't need your buy-in.
05:55I need your support
05:56to go to Gray.
05:57I hear the Monica task force
05:59is targeting
05:59Costa Sangre's boss,
06:01Rogelio Zambada.
06:02Those women
06:02were low-level drug mules.
06:04You're going to have to climb
06:05two miles of food chain
06:06to get to Zambada.
06:07And why isn't Lucy here with you
06:08pushing for this?
06:09She wants this approved
06:10on its merits
06:11without the girlfriend factor.
06:13But she will use it
06:14if you say no to me.
06:16Have you heard back from I.A.?
06:20I got my notice of intent,
06:21but the hearing
06:22has not been scheduled.
06:23And if you are implying
06:25that I am using this
06:26as a way to delay
06:27my showdown
06:28with internal affairs...
06:30No, I'm wondering
06:30why you're spearheading
06:31the mission
06:31when you made it very clear
06:32over the last four years
06:34that you were done
06:34with long-term undercover work
06:36after it pretty much
06:36destroyed your life.
06:39When I was working
06:40undercover with the cartels,
06:41I knew so many girls
06:42that either ended up
06:44missing or dead,
06:45and nobody cared.
06:47If I.A. takes my badge,
06:48at least I know
06:49that I spent
06:50the last of my time here
06:51trying to get justice
06:52for these two women.
06:57Okay.
06:59That's my answer.
07:00So you'll support us
07:01going to the task force?
07:02Yeah.
07:03And?
07:03And I will find
07:04the resources to cover it.
07:06But none of this matters
07:07if Grace says...
07:08No.
07:08Zambada's not a front-burner target.
07:10And even if I believe
07:11that you had a shot
07:12of getting close to him,
07:13Garza's not going
07:14to divert focus
07:15from our current targets.
07:16He will if you ask him.
07:18Sir.
07:19If you don't say yes,
07:21we both know
07:22that these murders
07:23will go unsolved.
07:24Careful, Sergeant.
07:25I've seen plenty of tragedy
07:26on this job.
07:27I don't need a lecture
07:28on justice.
07:32With all due respect,
07:34sir,
07:34I...
07:36You have never
07:37been these girls.
07:38You have never experienced
07:40the particular type of pain
07:41and fear that they went through.
07:43How brave they had to be
07:44to go out into the world
07:45knowing how treacherous it is
07:47simply because they're female.
07:49And yeah,
07:49how that bravery
07:50and naivety
07:51caused them to be
07:52vulnerable to the cartel.
07:54I'm not excusing
07:55their criminality.
07:57I just...
07:59It shouldn't have cost them
08:00their lives.
08:03When you're looking back
08:04on your deathbed,
08:06you...
08:07No.
08:07Sorry.
08:09What?
08:10Sir, the politics
08:11and the bureaucracy
08:12of this will not matter.
08:14What will matter
08:14is that
08:16you stood up
08:17for these women.
08:21Well,
08:23so much for not
08:24lecturing me.
08:26Okay.
08:27Let's say I'm on board.
08:28What's this gonna cost
08:29the task force?
08:30Very little.
08:31Tim can get us
08:31the funding
08:32and the physical resources.
08:33The only thing we need
08:34is one FBI agent
08:35to give the op legitimacy
08:37with the Mexican government,
08:38preferably someone
08:39who speaks Spanish.
08:46What?
08:47So Bailey on her way to D.C.?
08:49Yeah, her flight
08:50left 20 minutes ago.
08:51You won't mind
08:51if I loan you to Lopez
08:52for surveillance assignment?
08:53No, whatever she needs.
08:55We're good.
08:55You want to fill him in?
08:56Sure.
08:58Man of the hour
08:59is Keyshawn DeMarco,
09:01otherwise known as Hamster,
09:02but don't let the cute nickname
09:03fool you.
09:04Keyshawn has an affinity
09:05for brute force trauma
09:06that he's parlayed
09:08into a growing
09:08leg-breaking business.
09:09Last week,
09:10you saw the two witnesses
09:11in a RICO case I'm trying?
09:12Almost caused a mistrial.
09:13We have a warrant
09:14for his arrest,
09:14but he's gone off the grid.
09:15I got round-the-clock surveillance
09:17authorized on several
09:18of his haunts.
09:19I need you and your rookie
09:20to post up outside
09:21his baby mama's house,
09:22Kennedy Stowe.
09:24Whoa.
09:25Try not to let
09:26the impressive front porch
09:28distract you from the fact
09:29that Kennedy threw
09:29a classmate through
09:30a window in high school.
09:31She's hot and dangerous.
09:33Officer Penn,
09:34this assignment could last
09:35until you're scheduled
09:35to graduate the FTO program.
09:37You'll be under a microscope
09:38until it's complete.
09:39Yes, sir.
09:39We'll let you down.
09:47Six hours.
09:49No one's coming or out.
09:50Well, if Hamster
09:50was easy to find,
09:52Lopez wouldn't have
09:52half the station on it.
09:58You know,
09:58quit looking for the
09:59hot mama sighting
10:00and why did you focus
10:02a little bit?
10:03We'll give your eyes a rest
10:04and you'll learn
10:05about the neighborhood.
10:09It's a roll call.
10:11It looks like random
10:11letters and numbers,
10:12but it's a list of gang members.
10:14The numbers stand
10:15for letters and alphabet.
10:16Exactly.
10:18Simple code,
10:18but it can give you
10:19a lot of information.
10:20Most of the numbers
10:21up there are 14 and two.
10:2314 for N,
10:25two for B
10:26means no whole boys.
10:28Hamsters gang.
10:28Exactly.
10:29It means you feel safe here.
10:30It feels easy
10:31amongst friends.
10:32So I'll be back.
10:36And Sugarline
10:38are new things.
10:40Like if you saw
10:40Misty Foreman
10:41packing up the kids
10:42to take to her mother's,
10:44I mean,
10:44and her husband Carl
10:45was dealing again.
10:46But it's different here.
10:49Something's going on at once.
10:50I feel like I'm running behind.
10:54I keep thinking
10:54I should hit some
10:55neighborhood hangouts
10:56in my off hours.
10:57You know,
10:57keep a low profile
10:58and get a better feel
10:59for what's going on.
11:00Okay, that's a bad idea.
11:02Not only is it inherently unsafe,
11:03but it's against regulations.
11:05Don't go policing
11:05in your off-duty hours.
11:09All right.
11:11Release is here.
11:12I'll do a deep dive
11:13into an old boy database tonight.
11:14Great.
11:15I'm going to make cheesesteak
11:16and watch Commando.
11:17Two things Bailey hates.
11:20El Mesquital campsite.
11:22This is where Courtney
11:22and Jordan
11:23spent their time in Baja.
11:24I pulled previous
11:25satellite imagery
11:26for the last six months.
11:27There's obviously
11:28a lot of camper turnover,
11:29but a few of the vehicles
11:31have been there
11:31the whole time.
11:32Understood.
11:33Receipts from Jordan's van
11:35show that they bought
11:35Ozempic from a local farmacia
11:37and sold it across the border
11:38for a hefty profit.
11:39We think this is how
11:40the cartel targeted them
11:41as potential meals.
11:42So we'll follow
11:43in their footsteps.
11:44Hopefully they'll see us
11:44as equally easy targets.
11:46Great.
11:46Let's talk undercover personas.
11:48The Bureau of Cyber Unit
11:49has the ability
11:50to launch social media pages
11:51for each of you
11:52that appear to go back
11:52over several years.
11:53And they will hold up
11:54to a metadata check?
11:55Yeah.
11:56Score.
11:57All right.
11:58So I have one.
11:59My name is Shia Sun,
12:01but I go by Shia.
12:02I was born in Chicago.
12:03I went to Kansas City Art Institute
12:05where I got a degree
12:06in fiber arts.
12:17I sold a couple of pieces,
12:19but I realized that there
12:20wasn't much money to be had
12:22in textile sculpture.
12:23I met the love of my life
12:25two years ago,
12:26and we've been joined
12:27at the hip ever since.
12:28And I am that love
12:30of her life, Avery Reed.
12:31I was raised in Alaska
12:33but hated every frigid moment of it.
12:36So I left
12:37and went to California
12:38at the age of 18
12:39and never looked back.
12:44We wake up with the sun
12:47in our eyes.
12:49It's no surprise
12:50that we get so much done.
12:53But we always, yes, we always,
12:55we always have fun.
12:58Yes, we always, yes, we always,
13:01Surfing is my passion.
13:03I work odd jobs
13:04but never really wanted a career.
13:06I just want enough cash
13:07to chase the endless summer.
13:13It'll be four weeks,
13:16minimum.
13:18I don't know.
13:19You just moved in.
13:20It's like you're already moving out.
13:22You could think of it
13:23as an excuse
13:24to play your video games
13:26at full volume all weekend.
13:28Okay, you make my life
13:29sound so empty.
13:30No, no, no, no.
13:31Okay, okay.
13:32How about this?
13:33The longer I'm gone,
13:35the happier you'll be
13:37when I come back.
13:38Hmm?
13:39Yeah.
13:46Hey, sweetie.
13:46Mommy's got to go now.
13:49Okay.
13:50Leah?
13:51Yes?
13:51Remember Mommy said
13:52I was going to have to leave
13:53for a little while.
13:54You'll be back?
13:56I will be back, yes,
13:57as soon as I can, okay?
13:58Okay.
14:00I love you.
14:01I love you.
14:04Mommy, would you please?
14:07Okay.
14:11What are you trying?
14:12One.
14:14Hey.

14:17it's got to stop and ready to go.
14:21Okay, uh,
14:22let's do this.
14:23I'll let you guys
14:23say goodbye.
14:29I want you to know
14:30it is a tribute
14:31to your excellent mothering
14:33that she is so secure.
14:36Okay.
14:38You got this.
14:39Come on.
14:41I love you.
14:41And I love you, too.
14:45All right, come on.
14:54I know, I know.
14:57It'll be worth it.
14:58Okay.
15:01You ready?
15:02Yeah.
15:04Yeah.
15:12Lord, I wish we had
15:13something to do out here.
15:15You keep drinking all that coffee,
15:16you'll have something to do,
15:17all right.
15:19Why are you so tired, anyway?
15:21I've been up nights,
