00:01Previously on The Rookie.
00:02How's it going with Raj?
00:03Long distance is challenging,
00:04but his European tour ends next week.
00:06Is there so far?
00:09As soon as you have something.
00:10Rita Sanchez, this is Bradley Wirth.
00:12We work with the Democratic Party,
00:14and we want you to run for district attorney.
00:15If you're not in 100%, I'm in.
00:17Now you're in the spotlight,
00:19and you will stay there until I find a way
00:21to hang these murders around your neck
00:24and lock you away forever.
00:26I'm not moving to D.C.
00:27John.
00:28No, I can't tear my life apart.
00:30Why are you blowing it all up like this?
00:32I'm trying to save our marriage.
00:34I didn't realize it was in jeopardy.
00:36Bailey.
00:46I really don't see how candles and crystals
00:48are going to improve my love life.
00:51Rose quartz will open your heart chakra
00:54and treat your emotional wounds.
00:55Also, I'm picking up a black tourmaline crystal
00:57to protect Raj on his journey home.
00:59Oh.
01:00To a spell the oak?
01:00Yes.
01:01And I'm looking forward to a little, you know.
01:06Is there a crystal for straight up getting laid?
01:08I mean, there are some pretty frisky gemstones.
01:11But mostly a crystal store is just a very calm and healing place.
01:14I paid you $500 for love spells that didn't work.
01:17With that attitude, I'm not surprised, Bach.
01:19Negativity is toxic.
01:21Give me my money back or I'm going to slap the taste out of your mouth.
01:25Sir, let's dial it back.
01:25Try it and I'll curse you.
01:27Go ahead, you crazy witch!
01:37You okay?
01:39Yeah.
01:40Yeah, there's nothing.
01:41All right, come on, buddy.
01:42I'm a cop.
01:43I'm telling you it's time to go.
01:46Sir, she stole $500 from me.
01:48Come on.
02:02Hey, remember eight weeks ago when I bought the perfect Valentine's Day gift for Tim?
02:07Oh, you mean eight weeks ago when I started my morning commute?
02:10Seriously, how is it possible that LA traffic keeps getting worse?
02:13I don't know.
02:14Blame car culture or inadequate mass transit.
02:16Hey, but let's focus back on the baseball autograph by Fernando Valenzuela that I bought Tim
02:21and which I hid so well and now cannot find.
02:24How is that possible?
02:25I don't know.
02:26I think I re-hit it after a few tequilas.
02:31What do I do?
02:32I feel like he probably got me something amazing.
02:36Hey, can I call you back?
02:38Sure.
02:39I will just be here, ripping up the floorboards.
02:41And I will still be in traffic.
02:45Hey.
02:45Hey, sis.
02:46I need your help.
02:47Let me guess.
02:47You forgot to buy Lucy a Valentine's Day present.
02:49No.
02:50I ordered one months ago.
02:51That full Korean skincare line that she loves.
02:53That's amazing.
02:54What's the problem?
02:55It never came.
02:56And they're not responding to my emails, so I need a last minute present.
02:59What about jewelry?
03:00That's so cliche.
03:01I wanted to get her something special.
03:03You're cute, but women really love it.
03:06Hey.
03:07Hey.
03:07Hi.
03:07Morning.
03:09Coffee.
03:11Happy, happy Valentine's Day.
03:12Happy Valentine's Day.
03:14Hey, we're not doing presents right now though, right?
03:16We're doing it, we're doing it tonight, right?
03:17No, no, yeah, tonight.
03:18Yeah.
03:18After the fundraiser.
03:19Oh yeah, okay, good, good.
03:20You are gonna love when I got you.
03:22Oh.
03:23Same.
03:29What happened to your face?
03:31Oh, an accident.
03:32Yesterday at the crystal shop.
03:34Although Selena thinks it's the curse.
03:36I don't believe in that kind of thing.
03:39Oh.
03:40Oh!
03:42Oh!
03:43Oh!
03:44Oh!
03:44Oh!
03:44My eye!
03:46Hey!
03:47Oh!
03:48Who's the idiot that deployed pepper spray?
03:50Officer Pencer.
03:52No!
03:52Something about a curse?
03:54Enough said.
03:56By the way, I can't believe you volunteered to host Wesley's fundraising.
04:00Oh, yeah, well, Bailey's on ship the whole week at the firehouse.
04:03We're going through a bit of a rough patch.
04:04I thought, why not mask my Valentine's misery with a hundred wealthy strangers and a dozen
04:10middle-class friends.
04:11Smart.
04:12I'm assuming the move to D.C. is causing the strike?
04:15Yeah, and I've been trying to come up with a solution that would make both of us happy.
04:20But, you know, marriage is about compromise.
04:23Not always.
04:25Sometimes it's about one person making a sacrifice for the other.
04:30I did it.
04:31When Dominique was born and I chose to stay home.
04:34Now that I'm back to work, Wade is clearly having a hard time with the time commitment
04:39of my new career.
04:40I never see her.
04:42It's like I'm a bachelor without the fun of being single.
04:44I was hoping you would tell me it wasn't so bad.
04:46Hey, I love my wife.
04:48And I support her just like you support Bailey.
04:51100%.
04:51But do I like falling asleep every night waiting for her to come home from work?
04:56Or canceling plans because she caught an extra ship?
04:59No, I do not.
05:01Still, she's happy.
05:03And if she's happy, then I'm happy.
05:05Sounds like it.
05:09I'm happy.
05:10Yes, sir.
05:10Thank you for your perspective, sir.
05:19What about a watch for Tim's present?
05:22Uh, does this Tim need a watch?
05:24No.
05:25But he didn't need a signed baseball either.
05:29It was instinct.
05:31You know, I mean, I saw the curse coming and I just, like, hit.
05:35Behind miles.
05:36I know.
05:36I know.
05:38My job is to run towards danger.
05:40Not use my partner for cover.
05:42I mean, how can I say I'm fit to be a cop when I'm clearly a coward?
05:46You...
05:46Selena, you are not a coward.
05:49And curses, they're not real.
05:52So just, you know, cut yourself a little bit of slack, okay?
05:54I think he's gonna be okay.
05:57Sir, I need to search you.
05:58Is there anything sharp in your pockets that can stick me?
06:00Nope.
06:03Be careful of the spiders.
06:04Ow!
06:05Ow!
06:05What the hell?
06:06What's wrong with you, man?
06:07I like spiders.
06:08Okay.
06:09Uh, sir, any more surprises in your pockets?
06:11No.
06:12Just the spiders.
06:12Okay.
06:13We'll finish this search at the station.
06:14Jump in.
06:15Watch your head.
06:18You okay?
06:19Yeah.
06:20Yeah, just having one of those days.
06:22God, no need to think it's confirmation of the curse.
06:25Weird stuff happens all the time on the job.
06:27Oh, 100%.
06:29But maybe you should take an Uber back to the station, just for my safety.
06:39Call it in.
06:41Glasser murdered 10 people.
06:43They all deserve justice.
06:44Look, I agree, but we both live in the real world where our first priority is taking the
06:48strongest case to trial, the one we know we can win.
06:50Okay, so you're just dumping Remy Darden.
06:51No.
06:52No.
06:52But for now, I have to hold back on prosecuting Glasser for Remy's murder.
06:55Look, the DNA buffet that Glasser created to contaminate his killing floor ruined any chance
07:00of using forensic evidence.
07:01Now, if you could have identified him in the basement, then-
07:03Yeah, but I couldn't.
07:04Neither of us thinks that I should have lied about that.
07:06Of course not.
07:07But it makes the path to conviction more difficult, which is why I need to be mercenary and only
07:10prosecuting Glasser for what I can prove to a jury.
07:13Hope you told his dad yet, because if he calls you as much as he calls me to check in
07:17-
07:17Look, I haven't, but I will right after the deposition.
07:20Is there anything I should be thinking of going in?
07:22Given the obstacles, the DNA issues, the other serial killer, the Patsy that Glasser used, you need to be perfect.
07:31Great. No pressure.
07:36You know, putting out fires is our job. I'm gonna have to report you for a union violation.
07:42So, any idea who set the swan on fire?
07:44Nope. Wouldn't it just say the swan was floating alone on a lake when it ignited?
07:48It never saw anyone aboard.
07:52Gasoline and laundry detergent, which is basically napalm.
07:57This was set by a pro using a mechanism to delay the ignition.
08:03Here it is. He placed a lit cigarette between the coils, cover the boat in napalm, and set it out
08:08on the lake.
08:09The arsonist has about five minutes to clear it.
08:13You wanna know what makes this even more interesting?
08:15Our first call this morning was a fire at the Siegfried Dry Cleaners, with a coil that looked just like
08:21this.
08:22Swan and Siegfried, are you? That cannot just be a coincidence.
08:27I'm not seeing the connection.
08:28Ah, the story of Swan Lake. The lovers were Odette and Siegfried.
08:34What? We have culture and sexes.
08:36So, we are looking for a serial arsonist who loves the ballet.
08:40Um, why don't you see if you can get the security camera footage from the boathouse and see if anybody
08:45has a video on their cell phone.
08:46Yes, sir.
08:48Oh. Happy Valentine's Day?
08:52I guess that depends on your definition of happy.
08:54Right.
08:56Why don't I, uh, meet you at the station and lend my arson expertise to your investigation?
09:02Sounds good.
09:05Hey, I'm almost home. I'm just a flight and a layover and a flight away.
09:09Yay!
09:10Maybe we could have dinner tomorrow. I mean, if you're not too tired and if you don't mind having a
09:15meal with a coward.
09:15Are you kidding? The whole reason I booked this Planes, Trains and Automobiles ass return trip is so I could
09:20get back to you as quickly as possible.
09:23Translation, Estoy tan emocionado de verte.
09:26Oh, well then, hurry up and get trans back here.
09:30Yes, ma'am. See you soon.
09:32Bye.
09:34Ah, see. Clearly the curse did not get on you.
09:39Please help! Help me! No, no, no, no! I need help!
09:44Are you alright?
09:45Uh, a witch! She put a curse on me!
09:48Oh, my God. I was there. What happened to you?
09:51It all started this morning when I slipped in the shower and I chipped my tooth.
09:55I-I took a ceiling fan to the head when it spun off the mount.
09:58I was chased for three blocks by a pack of stray dogs. I lost my wallet. My phone.
10:03Please, I need to get this curse taken off me.
10:06Even if she did put a curse on you, it's not technically a crime.
10:10You should go tell the owner you're sorry. Beg for forgiveness. I mean, even offer her money.
10:13Anything to get her to reverse it. And the sooner the better.
10:16Okay, okay. Thank you. Thank you. Yes! Yes! Yes! Yes!
10:37You okay? Yeah. Uh, yeah. It's just, it's just a guy was hit by a truck earlier and it happened
10:46like right in front of us.
10:46That's terrible. He'd been cursed. Never mind.
10:50But I-I saw it with my own eyes yesterday at this crystal shop I go to. No judgment.
10:55None given. I spent way too many hours looking at the lizards at my local pet store.
10:59We all got our hobbies? Right. Yeah.
11:02Well, the thing is, I-I-I was there when the curse happened and I hid behind Miles so it
11:08wouldn't get on me.
11:09And now Miles has had a run of bad luck and this guy is dead and I'm worried that Miles
11:12is next and it's my fault.
11:14I mean, I should have jumped in front of the bullet. I mean, the-the curse. Whatever.
11:17The point is, my cowardice put my roommate in jeopardy.
11:21You've gotten two accommodations for bravery the last 18 months. No one can call you a coward.
11:27Yes, that's true. But how do you know that?
11:31Oh, um, I-I-I looked you up after our last case together. Not in a creepy way.
11:39Um, hey, I-I heard there's some kind of big party going on tonight. You going to that?
11:42Oh, uh, it's-it's a fundraiser for, uh, Wesley's campaign.
11:46Oh. No, no, no, but you should-you should probably come.
11:49Oh. Yeah, you know, just like donate donate bucks or something.
11:51You want me to? Yeah. It'll be fun.
11:54Okay. Yeah. All right, great. Um, looking forward to it.
11:57Okay. I'll see ya.
12:00Oh, man. Hey!
12:02Oh, no, no, no. What-what-what happened?
12:04Oh, suspect had a pocket full of spiders. Turns out I'm allergic, but I slammed some Benadryl.
12:08Okay, no, Miles. We have to go back to the crystal shop and get the curse reversed.
12:12What? No, I-I can't. No, no, no, Miles.
12:14The guy she aimed it at is dead. Got hit by a truck this morning.
12:18Oh, okay. That's crazy. I-I really can't go right now. We just gotta power through it.
12:26Detective Harper. You claim you were attacked in the Westview basement.
12:30I did not claim. I was attacked.
12:33And did you see this person's face?
12:35No.
12:36Well, I appreciate the fact that you've been honest about that from the start, but it means that you ultimately
12:40decided my client was the attacker based on what?
12:44A feeling?
12:45No. Other factors. My 15-plus years as a police officer, his physicality...
12:51His physicality? Aren't there millions of people in L.A. County with the same approximate height and weight?
12:55Asked and answered. Detective Harper cannot definitively identify Liam Glasser.
13:00Well, I'm simply establishing that Detective Harper jumped to conclusions about my client's involvement without any evidence.
13:05That's a big swing. Do you want to lay foundation for that assertion, or should we just strike Dad now?
13:10Detective Harper, on the day that you first met my client at the Mid-Welshire station, did you subsequently follow
13:16him to his truck for a conversation at approximately 5.30 p.m.?
13:20I did.
13:21And what was the nature of your conversation with Mr. Glasser?
13:24I told him that I thought he was involved in the Westview murders.
13:28What specific unarticulable facts landed you at that conclusion?
13:32I did not have any evidence at this time.
13:35So you just decided to find a way to frame my client?
13:37I resent that allegation.
13:40Did you tell my client, quote,
13:42I will find a way to hang these murders around your neck and lock you away forever? Unquote.
13:53May I remind you that you're under oath?
13:55I'm aware.
13:57Yes, I did say that, but I didn't...
14:00No, Detective Harper answered in the affirmative.
14:05Find a way.
14:07Wait till the jury hears that.
14:11Good news.
14:12I got Harris to cover the back half of my shift so I can spend Valentine's night with you.
14:17And if we're too tired to work things out, we can have satisfying, yet emotionally complicated sex.
14:23Uh, tempting. Not saying no, but we would have to do it in front of the hundred or so mostly
14:28strangers who are invading our house tonight.
14:31Wesley's fundraiser.
14:32Right. I forgot.
14:35I'm ready for my first Arson 101 lesson.
14:38Oh, you don't look good.
14:40Oh, it looks a lot worse than what it really is.
14:42Although the, uh, spider bites, it's pretty bad.
14:45Okay. Okay.
14:47Well, in a fire investigation, we look for seven things.
14:51Do you have any idea what those are?
14:52What kind of accelerant they use, diffuse to light it, and, uh, all right, all right, um, five other things.
15:00Point of origins, burn patterns, fire behavior, forced entry, missing items.
15:06Correct. And when I put those factors through the arson database, Arnold McKenna's name popped out.
15:12Arnold's been a fire starter for the last 20 years in and out of prison, including a stint that was
15:17two years ago last August.
15:19So what's his motive, other than really liking fires?
15:22Revenge, mostly. He burned down the home of a former employer, a carpet cleaner that stiffed him, and the car
15:28of an ex-girlfriend that he claimed cheated on him.
15:31So what, the swine did him wrong somehow? What's going on?
15:33Yeah, there seems to be a disconnect, the whole Valentine's Day element.
15:37I mean, has he set thematic fires before?
15:39No, I mean, it would be new for Arnold.
15:41Right. Well, let's go get him.
15:43Uh, how about you do that solo and let me give some medical attention to Miles?
15:48Yeah. Okay.
15:50How's the present hunt going?
15:51Uh, badly. You can't still be in the car.
15:54No. I am back in the car after a day of wrangling 17 hormonal preteens in an un-air-conditioned
16:00classroom.
16:01Oh my gosh. Okay, um, so I'll try and be quick.
16:04Um, I remember Tim talking about this book that he used to read over and over again.
16:09It was, it was his escape when things were bad.
16:12It was a sci-fi book, right?
16:13Yes. Do you remember the title? I want to get him a copy of it for Valentine's Day.
16:17Sorry, I don't. But I can picture the cover.
16:20It was this buff guy with a girl with ridiculous breasts and they were fighting a tentacle creature.
16:27It took place on the moon.
16:28Okay. Cool. Thank you. I could definitely work with that.
16:36Yeah. No, no, no. That's not gonna work. I need the full line.
16:41Cleanser, serum, toner, all of it.
16:43No, I didn't wait to buy a gift. I ordered it from Korea and it didn't...
16:47Okay, you know what? Can you transfer me to the jewelry department, please?
16:51Yeah. Thank you.
16:54I didn't do it. Every time there's a fire in this city, you always drag me in here.
16:59Well, it wasn't me. So just give me the details, I'll give you my rock-solid alibi, and I can
17:04get on with my day.
17:05Where were you this morning?
17:07Home. Alone.
17:08So much for rock-solid.
17:10You weren't near Echo Park Lake? A swan boat was set on fire.
17:14Nope.
17:15What about at 6 a.m.? There was a fire at Siegfried Dry Cleaners.
17:18Swan Lake. Cute. But it wasn't me. I hate the ballet.
17:22But you'd love a 1.7 to 0.3 ratio of gasoline to laundry detergent to create your accelerant
17:29with a, uh, sous-son of orange juice concentrate to make it nice and sticky.
17:36Not like I patented that or anything.
17:39No, but you might have taught it to someone who's doing a little bit of Valentine's Day fire-starting.
17:46Give us a minute.
17:52Hey, hey.
17:53What's going on?
17:54LAFD just put out a fire at the Romeo Bakery, and they found a half-burned mosquito coil at the
17:58scene.
17:59Well, it couldn't have been Arnold, which means he definitely has a protege out there.
18:03I'll get a court order to tap his phone. Whoever his student is, Arnold might reach out and give him
18:08an attaboy.
18:09We should definitely be putting eyes on everything and anything Juliet adjacent.
18:14Mr. Darden, how do you feel about the prosecutor's office declining to charge Liam Glasser with the murder of your
18:18son, Remy?
18:19What?
18:20We have a source that says the district attorney's office dropped the charges.
18:25No, no, that's not right.
18:27No, Glasser killed my son.
18:29I was promised.
18:31Wesley Evers promised me that Glasser would pay.
18:36I was going to call home first thing this afternoon, but the deposition ran low.
18:40Gabriel Darden should not be hearing this from a reporter. Somebody leaked it.
18:44My bet's on Vivian.
18:45She sees you coming up in the polls. She's looking to take your legs out.
18:49By destroying the grieving father.
18:50She's a cold-blooded predator.
18:52That's the reason you're running in the first place, to bring empathy back to the DA's office.
18:57We need to put out a statement. I'll send you a draft in 20.
19:05So what's the damage from my deposition?
19:08Honestly, pretty catastrophic.
19:10If I call you as a witness to trial, Malcolm will have free reign to impeach your testimony.
19:15He will paint you as a crooked cop to the jury.
19:17I never, not once, stepped out of line on that case with regard to evidence.
19:21Yeah, but you let your emotions get the better of you.
19:24I just, I wanted to wipe that smirk off his face.
19:26Okay.
19:29I screwed up.
19:30But Angela can testify. She was there for most of it.
19:33She's not the lead detective.
19:35And she's my wife.
19:37Which is just another way that the defense will highlight the prejudice against Glasser.
19:41Plus, if I don't call you, Malcolm will likely add you to his list.
19:45He'll put you up there as a hostile witness. It's a mess.
19:47And unfortunately, Nyla, it gets worse.
19:52As an officer of the court, I have no choice but to report your conduct with Glasser to internal affairs.
19:57If I don't make the call that I hate, Malcolm will.
19:59And then I get disbarred for covering it up.
20:16Like one million dollars.
20:20I miss this.
20:22You, me, out laughing about our nonsense.
20:26Me too.
20:29Hey, I've been thinking, how would you feel if we designate one night a week as date night?
20:36That way, no matter how busy we each get, it's on our calendar.
20:41Oh, and why is this funny?
20:43I'm just appreciating the role reversal.
20:46For two decades, I wanted you to have a more predictable schedule,
20:50and so now the show is on the other foot, and I'm completely empathetic.
20:55But I'm also a little amused.
20:58Touche.
21:02Hey, stranger.
21:03Hey.
21:04You look like you could use a drink.
21:05That obvious?
21:06Tim might have mentioned trouble on the home front.
21:08You need a shoulder to cry on. I owe you.
21:11Oh, no, you don't.
21:12I mean, I appreciate the offer, but we're working it through, I think.
21:17I'm here. I'm here.
21:19Oh, God, we've really packed it in here.
21:21I could barely get in our front door.
21:23Hi, Bob.
21:24You look beautiful.
21:26Oh, so do you.
21:27Thanks.
21:29Happy Valentine's Day.
21:31Oh, I didn't get... I thought we weren't doing presents.
21:33I'm gonna go scope out the dessert table.
21:35Thank you for the beer.
21:37Okay.
21:41Good for a lifetime of cohabitation would be the noon till death do us part.
21:47I don't... I don't get it.
21:48I'm not going to D.C.
21:49I'll call Ross in the morning and I'll tell him.
21:52What?
21:52You have always been there for me, John, through secret husbands, impetuous behavior, and emotional minefields.
22:01And over the last few days, I realized how hard it must have been for you to tell me no
22:08about D.C.
22:09And I also realized, instead of listening, I took your head off and ran away from the conversation.
22:18You are the love of my life, John.
22:21I don't want to be anywhere you're not.
22:24I feel the same way.
22:29When were you going to tell me you're going after Harper?
22:31Who now is not coming, by the way?
22:33Okay, I'm not going after her.
22:35I have a legal obligation.
22:36Which you didn't feel when I threatened to kill Elijah in his kitchen.
22:39That was a sanctioned sting operation.
22:41There's no gray area here.
22:42Angela, I'm trying very hard, very hard not to blame Nyla because she is our friend.
22:48But I might actually lose this trial because of what she did.
22:51Liam Glasser might walk free.
22:52So take a moment, consider who you're mad at right now, and whether that's deserved.
22:58You two are so cute.
23:00Love the passion.
23:03Well, we are very passionate about justice.
23:07I am not having a good time with this campaign.
23:09Join the club.
23:13I can't wait any longer.
23:15No, look, I'm all for being adventurous, but this might cross a line.
23:17Get your mind out of the gutter.
23:19I want to give you your gift.
23:21Oh.
23:23Wow, okay.
23:24I really hope it's the right one.
23:30You said how much this meant to you.
23:32I tried to find you a new one, but they're out of print.
23:35I can't.
23:37Is this signed?
23:38Yeah, the librarian who helped me find it knows the author who lives in L.A.
23:41And he was just so thrilled that the book meant so much to someone.
23:45Do you like it?
23:48I love it.
23:49No, I love you.
23:54It's incredible.
24:00Did I get mine now?
24:04I'm sorry.
24:05I'll be right back.
24:06Okay.
24:12Excuse me.
24:13I need her for a minute.
24:14I was having a connection.
24:17You can do better.
24:19She found it.
24:20Cool.
24:22You knew?
24:23Yeah.
24:23She needed help remembering the title.
24:25It's signed.
24:27It's amazing.
24:27I'm sorry.
24:28You knew she was going to give me the most thoughtful gift ever, and you didn't say anything?
24:32You told me to buy jewelry.
24:34I got earrings.
24:35She like them?
24:36I didn't give them to her.
24:37Not after this.
24:38It's not a competition to see who can get the best gift.
24:40Okay, you know what?
24:41It is now.
24:42I'm going to see if I can plan a trip to Paris in the next ten minutes.
24:44If she asks where I am, just cover for me.
24:51You made it.
24:52You kidding?
24:53Pretty girl asks you out to a party, you don't say no.
24:55You can buy a suit and some pricey Corona.
24:58Wow, you look beautiful.
25:01Oh, thank you.
25:02Oh, whoa.
25:02No, sorry.
25:03Sorry.
25:03That's not.
25:04Selena.
25:05What?
25:06Hi.
25:07Oh, cool.
25:08I thought you were supposed to let him till tomorrow.
25:12Well, I forgot that you gain a day when you're coming back, and I'm nine hours off, and...
25:16Uh, am I interrupting something?
25:19Yeah, of course not.
25:19Yeah, I do.
25:20What?
25:20You asked me out.
25:21No, I did not.
25:22No, I said you should come, that it would be fun.
25:25And, well, I'm now realizing that could be misinterpreted, but it wasn't my intention to...
25:31Sorry, I'm too jet-lagged to follow this.
25:33Do I have anything to worry about?
25:34You do not.
25:34Great.
25:35Yeah.
25:35I'm going to get a drink.
25:36Why don't you guys come find me after you work it out?
25:38Yeah.
25:41Gilmore, I am so sorry.
25:43Um, I feel like, um, it's...
25:48I'm sorry.
25:49Excuse me.
25:58Thank you for coming.
25:59Now, I joined the DA's office because I believe that everyone, regardless of their means, their
26:05race, or their social status, deserves justice.
26:07Liar!
26:08What about my son?
26:12All right.
26:14You're going to fight your back.
26:18Who's this?
26:20This is mine.
26:21This is mine.
26:23All right.
26:24All right.
26:24All right.
26:25All right.
26:26All right.
26:30All right.
26:33This is a nightmare.
26:34You acted in self-defense, protected your wife, who didn't even protect him, by the way,
26:38but I love that you did it.
26:39Okay.
26:40I assaulted a grieving father.
26:41We need to make a statement.
26:42No.
26:43You are blowing up the internet, getting praise across the political spectrum.
26:47I, hell, Joe Rogan called you an American hero.
26:50Oh, this is Rogan's people.
26:51I'm trying to get you on the podcast today.
26:54Hey.
26:54This is breaking my brain.
26:56The people that usually hate progressives are settling my demographic.
26:58Whatever it takes.
27:00We're in this to win it.
27:01So, you need to find a way to be a badass and a saint at the same time.
27:05Mm.
27:05Oh, perfect.
27:11These are beautiful.
27:13You open them.
27:14Well, yeah.
27:17We kind of got lost in all of the excitement from last night, and I happened to find myself
27:22looking through your pockets, and I love them.
27:29Okay.
27:30Good.
27:30But just know it is a second choice gift.
27:32I mean, I bought you every item above that overpriced South Korean face stuff you love,
27:37but it didn't ship in time.
27:38And then you got me the most thoughtful present in recorded history, and I'm so sorry that
27:44it's not a better gift.
27:45Are you kidding?
27:46Yeah.
27:46They match my necklace.
27:48These are incredible.
27:49Okay?
27:51Mm.
27:52You know, I actually bought you a different gift first, too.
27:56Oh, yeah, yeah.
27:56The Fernando Valens with a baseball hidden behind the washing machine.
27:59You found it, and you didn't tell me?
28:01I didn't want you getting mad at me for criticizing your hiding spots.
28:04What?
28:04The green horn in the academy would have found that in, like, six seconds.
28:07But I love you.
28:13My name is Mandy Fisk.
28:15She did six months for arson last year.
28:18Arnold McKenna called her last night at 934.
28:21You sure you're all right?
28:22Uh, yes, sir.
28:24Elevator door caught me good as I was leaving this morning, but I just need to walk it off.
28:33Hi.
28:34Can I help you?
28:35You sure can.
28:36Why don't you invite us in, and I'll tell you how.
28:43Clear the couch, carefully.
28:46What's this about?
28:48Why don't you have a seat, and I'll try to explain.
28:55The LAPD has been monitoring a phone that belongs to Arnold McKenna.
29:00He called you last night, 934?
29:03Oh, that's who that was.
29:05I heard static on the line, so I hung up.
29:08The call lasted for three minutes.
29:11Over the last 36 hours, several fires have been started that match Arnold's M.O.
29:16However, they've got a bit of a romantic streak that really doesn't fit Arnold's temperament.
29:22Yeah, he's more of a revenge guy.
29:28Look, Arnold's a creep.
29:30We were in the same halfway house when I got out of prison.
29:32He took a shine to me.
29:35Kept boasting about how powerful he was, thinking it was going to help him get in my pants.
29:38Wouldn't listen when I told him that I don't like boys.
29:42For real, he was obsessed, and I told him to get lost.
29:44But not before you stole his special method for starting fires.
29:47No.
29:48That's what the phone call was about last night.
29:50Someone is using his formula in setting fires, but it isn't me, and I told him that.
29:54It's not just you.
29:56You have a partner.
29:57You're wrong.
29:57Come on.
29:58Swan Lake, Romeo and Juliet, you're flirting with someone through fires.
30:02A call in response.
30:04So, who is your other half?
30:06No one.
30:06Baby, you gotta see this.
30:09The Juliet cake shop went up like a torch.
30:11Check out this video on my phone.
30:13Mmm.
30:15I'd love to see it.
30:16Perhaps I'll take a look while Officer Penn puts you both in cuffs and reads you your rights.
30:23Watch your head.
30:35Hi.
30:36Thank you so much for coming in.
30:37I want to make this clear right up front.
30:39My client does not accept any legal liability for events that have occurred since her argument
30:43with Greg Clark two days ago.
30:44Oh, no.
30:45I'm not trying to arrest Rhiannon for anything.
30:48I want her to remove the curse off my friend Miles.
30:51To promise any kind of restorative action could be taken as an admission of guilt.
30:55No, please.
30:56It's my fault.
30:57I should have protected him.
30:58And I know you're a good person who wouldn't want her abilities to harm an innocent man.
31:02Not that they have or will.
31:04But this conversation is over.
31:06No, no.
31:07Okay, please.
31:08I'll pay.
31:08Call it a charitable donation.
31:11I'll sign whatever waiver you want.
31:14$1,000.
31:15Cash.
31:19Done.
31:20Yeah.
31:21I will send it after my shift.
31:26I'm sorry.
31:27It's not your fault.
31:29Wesley was just doing his job.
31:31Have you heard from IA yet?
31:32No.
31:33They'll need to review all the facts before bringing me in.
31:37But it would probably be best for us to keep things purely professional until this is all over.
31:46Yeah, I guess so.
31:50I set all the fires.
31:51Sally had nothing to do with it.
31:53Mandy, don't!
31:54Look, given we have her confessing to setting one of the fires and we have it on video, that's not
31:59going to stick.
32:00Please.
32:00I talked her into it.
32:01She's not even really a fire bug.
32:04She's just in love with me and I took advantage.
32:07She doesn't deserve to go to prison.
32:08She lit the fires, Mandy.
32:10I can't just let her go.
32:12Look, you can always try your luck with the DA's office.
32:22Look, I'm not judging you.
32:24It's your money.
32:24But if this Rhiannon woman truly believed in her mystical powers, she wouldn't be jacking you up for a thousand
32:29bucks just to clean up her spray and pray method of cursing.
32:32Yeah, totally.
32:32But I have to save my house.
32:34Then I'm taking my crystal business elsewhere.
32:37Yeah.
32:37I don't know.
32:39I don't know.
32:39Ah!
32:41Oh, my God.
32:46Sir.
32:47Sir.
32:48Hey.
32:48Are you okay?
32:49Is he okay?
32:52This entrance is what's cursed.
32:55Oh, my God.
32:57Oh, my God.
33:03Oh, my God.
33:19Hey, let me talk to Nolan.
33:21I'm sure he'll let us take Miles for a few hours to get this curse removed.
33:24I'm afraid to wait any longer to get this done.
33:46What happened?
33:51Oh, my God.
33:53There was an explosion in the Sally port.
33:55Jeez.
33:59Oh, careful.
34:00Careful.
34:01You've got a huge piece of glass in your arm.
34:03No, no, no.
34:03Leave it.
34:03Leave it.
34:04Leave it.
34:04We've got to get you a tourniquet first.
34:05Right.
34:06Right.
34:06Yeah.
34:06Okay.
34:08We have to help everyone.
34:09I need to find Miles.
34:11I need to find Miles.
34:12First, go to the kit room.
34:14Grab all the respirators.
34:15Yeah.
34:16Ugh.
34:17Jeez.
34:18Oh.
34:19Oh.
34:20I'm here.
34:21I'm right here.
34:33No.
34:34Mm-hmm.
34:40No.
34:51Do you have any more?
34:53Hey, what's it?
34:54Oh?
34:54Oh.
34:56Oh.
34:57Oh.
34:59Oh!
35:00Oh.
35:12I'm coming!
35:15Help!
35:17I need help!
35:19Job, I need help!
35:21I need help!
35:23I need help!
35:26Come on!
35:28Come on!
35:28Come on!
35:30Nylon!
35:31Nylon!
35:31You okay?
35:32Yeah, I'm okay.
35:33Okay.
35:34There's masks in the box.
35:36I'm gonna go back there.
35:39Okay.
35:40Okay, you okay?
35:40Yeah.
35:41You okay?
35:45All right, we're on three.
35:47Ready?
35:48One, two, three!
36:01I'll get the masks.
36:02I'll get the keys.
36:04I'll get the keys.
36:07Help!
36:12Here.
36:14Can you walk?
36:15Come on.
36:17Take your way out.
36:26Help!
36:27Help!
36:28Help!
36:29Help!
36:30Help!
36:30Look out!
36:35Help!
36:36Can we ?
36:40Help!
36:43Help!
36:44Help!
36:45Help!
36:46Help!
36:46Help!
36:46Come on.
36:47Fuck!
36:48Oh!
36:48Ugh!
36:49Ooh!
37:11Oh!
37:14Aw!
37:22Help.
37:24Help.
37:36Help.
37:40Stop, baby.
37:41Come on.
37:48Bradford!
37:52Bradford, let's go! Come on!
38:02Put this on.
38:08Come on, get up.
38:19No!
38:20No!
38:29He can't stay here.
38:30I'm not leaving him behind.
38:38Hank, over here, it's Jack.
38:40We need the surface!
38:49We need the surface!
39:03Move!
39:06Mom!
39:10I'm about to go!
39:13Mom!
39:16Mom!
39:18Mom!
39:27I, uh, I'm checking on a patient, Mandy Fisk. She was burned in that fire.
39:32Arnold McKenna, you're under arrest for use of a weapon of mass destruction and attempted murder times a thousand.
39:39And just so you know, Mandy and her girlfriend are gonna make it, but you're gonna go to prison for
39:43the rest of your life.
39:44Get them out of here.
39:48Hey!
39:49Hey!
39:50Oh!
39:50Oh!
39:52I thought it lost you.
39:54I thought it lost you.
40:01Thanks for the save.
40:05Well, it's what we do.
40:07Although it would be so great if we never had to survive a fire again.
40:13Tell me about it.
40:17Look who I found out in the lobby.
40:19James should be landing any minute.
40:21We need to talk each other down on the way over here.
40:23Thanks.
40:24I know you said we should keep it purely professional, but how about we start that tomorrow?
40:33Come here.
40:35Oh.
40:50Hey.
40:52How's he doing?
40:53Oh, he's okay.
40:55Concussion.
40:56Lots of blunt force trauma bruising, some second-degree burns, but it could have been a lot worse.
41:02But it wasn't, because you saved him.
41:05It was my fault he was in danger in the first place.
41:07Okay.
41:08Regardless, that's taken care of now, too.
41:11I gave Rhiannon a thousand dollars to lift the curse.
41:14She promised it's effective right away.
41:16Oh, my God.
41:18I will pay you back.
41:19Oh, please.
41:20I sold so much merch on my tour, I'm loaded.
41:23Are you, uh, huggable?
41:25Gently.
41:27Well, I have a newfound respect for firefighters.
41:31And you, in general, if I need it back.
41:33And I have an even greater respect for your stubborn-headed bravery.
41:37But next time leave the fire rescue to the professionals, we dress for it.
41:42Yes, dear.
41:45You should go to D.C.
41:46John.
41:46No, listen, I-I mean it.
41:48We are strong enough to navigate the separation, and you really want it.
41:53I took it personally, and it was never about us.
41:57You think I'll get bored of this in a year and chase a new challenge back home?
42:02I'm sure I have no idea what you're talking about.
42:11I'm sure I have no idea what that is.
42:14I'm not sure where it is.
42:14I'm not sure where it is.
42:15I'm getting a deal, but I'm not sure where the military is going.
42:17I don't know where to come.
42:17I love that.
42:17I love that.
42:23Yeah, yeah.
42:23But I'm not sure where I am.
42:23I don't know where I am.
42:24I love my work.
42:27I know I love you, but I love you.
42:27How do you do?
42:27I love you, I love you.
42:45Damn it.
