00:03Hey, you're not nervous I'm going to embarrass you in front of your old captain, are you?
00:06Of course not. I don't know why I'm so anxious. Russ has always been one of my biggest champions.
00:10He's the one that pushed me to go to Officer Kennedy's squad for my first tour.
00:14Well, I'm sure he's not coming all the way to LA so that he could tell you he's disappointed in
00:18you.
00:18I just wish he would give me some sort of idea what this is about, but that's Russ.
00:22There she is!
00:23Hey, Russ! This is so good to see you!
00:26Hey!
00:27John Nolan.
00:27Colonel Russell Wilkes, please, call me Russ.
00:30It's a pleasure to finally meet the man behind the story.
00:33Yeah, likewise. Sit down.
00:35I really appreciate you being here, John.
00:38No, I didn't give away too much over the phone, but what I'm here to discuss would affect both your
00:42lives.
00:42It seems only fair to include you in the conversation.
00:45The SECDEF has tasked me with putting together a working group inside the Pentagon.
00:49Wow.
00:50A team of my own choosing that will spearhead bring me battlefield medicine into the 22nd century.
00:55It's the most consequential assignment in my career, and you are the first person I'm asking to be a part
01:00of this.
01:03I mean, it's an honor just to be nominated.
01:06Totally. Russ is a genius. He could recruit anyone for this working group, and the fact that he called me
01:12first, I mean, that's pretty great.
01:14Yeah, 100%. That's so cool, but I mean, our life is perfect right now. There's no way we're messing that
01:20up.
01:20No way. It's perfect.
01:28Police, get down!
01:29This is Bailey Noon, LAFD. I need an RA to Central Station Market.
01:34There's a male GSW victim. He's been shot in the head, in the back.
01:37Two suspects. Black hoodies, masks, and pants.
01:40One headed east towards Broadway in pursuit of second suspect.
01:44Move, move!

03:16that was my favorite until i saw this it has a pool and a gym and a screening room wait
03:24hold up you got
03:24screening room kind of money depends on which one of us you ask wesley is the king of frugality so
03:30he
03:30would definitely say no but i lived on credit cards until i met him so i'm way more comfortable pushing
03:35the envelope hey nolan did you tell officer hart that the shooters last night were furries
03:42no i said they were wearing hoodies are you taking the case yeah do you mind just walking us through
03:47it
03:47yeah uh bailey and i were coming back from dinner at central station market date night no her former
03:53commanding officer came to offer her a job uh pentagon think tank wow you really married outside of your league
03:59i know right so is she gonna take it no uh it would mean relocating to dc so it's a
04:04non-starter for us i mean it
04:05might be a non-starter for you but i guarantee that your overachiever of a wife is seriously thinking about
04:10it
04:10no actually she was laughing it off when we talked about oh my god she's actually thinking about it
04:16seriously okay well no no if that's something she really wants to do relocating to dc could be cool
04:22it's not i spent time there during my joint ops days it took me about three weeks to unclench every
04:27time i came home thank you for that insight so any clarity on the victim fred wilson 48 cpa married
04:35no
04:35kids no criminal record making him an unlikely candidate for a targeted assassination is there
04:41anything else about the shooters that you didn't give heart sorry i did not get a good look at them
04:46what about cctv anything there they were pretty covered up but take a look at this
04:58uh looks like the litter's sf that would make him southern front no visible tattoos on the second shooter
05:05huh yeah so why would a member of a white supremacist gang partner up with a black man
05:11to execute a civilian in broad daylight told you you'd spot it you trained him well could be that
05:16our innocent cpa was helping the southern front to launder money or maybe he had a drug problem and
05:22owed them money we're trying to get the me to rush the talk screen but he's dodging our calls oh
05:27say no more i'll go deliver the ask in person let me collect my boot

06:20well if you don't have the case number then i can't help you oh wesley's gonna kill me
06:23it's uh relax maybe it's just a typo right the first eight numbers are the date the crime was
06:29on january 20th try 2010-2026 try 02-01-2026 wow 20-01-2025
06:47are you sure you use the new data entry procedure we changed it a few months ago of course i
06:53did i keep
06:55but i wasn't the one who logged the entry because you wouldn't approve the overtime i had smitty do
07:00it
07:03what the hell is your problem uh good morning i have bent over backwards to treat you well and
07:09this is how you repay me i don't i'm sorry i don't know what's happening right now like hell
07:13you know your little innocent act would be a lot more believable if they weren't in your office
07:17just know this if you go through with it i will do everything in my power to absolutely destroy you
07:30hi who are you what are you doing in my office and why has it sent vivian into a rage
07:34spiral rita
07:34sanchez this is bradley worth we work with the democratic party and we want you to run for district
07:40attorney and now it makes sense that's a hard no for me by the way but thanks for stopping by
07:45look
07:45you obviously know that vivian eckhart's running on a post since del monte dropped out of the race
07:49yeah but that was a month ago why come to me now candidly we've been having a hard time finding
07:53someone to take up his mantle so i'm your last choice hardly
08:01look mr evers i wish there was time for us to do our usual dance of seduction and ego stroking
08:07but as
08:07you rightly pointed out we're up against it the deadline to enter this race is in three days and
08:11vivian becoming da is worst case scenario for the people of the city i mean she has the most
08:15regressive record in your office oh i agree but there's zero chance of me beating her i was
08:19temporarily disbarred because of your dealings with elijah stone we know yeah and we are prepared
08:24to embrace that i mean you're a hero who put his life and career on the line to take down
08:28a very
08:29dangerous kingpin voters love a man who's willing to stand up for what's right not to mention you're
08:34married to a cop which automatically makes you a more attractive candidate to anyone worried that
08:38progressive means soft on crime look i don't want vivian to win any more than you do but but nothing
08:44a vivian victory will hurt a lot of people and right now you're our last hope at stopping her
08:49it may be a long shot but isn't it worth the risk
08:52i thought you didn't have time to stroke my ego
08:59you have to let me see i don't actually on tv the family has to identify the body yeah we
09:05don't do
09:05that anymore that's right ma'am it's no longer policy but trust me it's for the best seeing your
09:12loved one like that it it changes how you remember them forever i don't understand fred was a saint why
09:20would someone want to kill him well that's what we're trying to figure out he's really dead yes ma'am
09:27i'm afraid so and we are so sorry for your loss okay thank you
09:37thanks for the assist grief makes people a little
09:40crazy and i don't like dealing with them when they're normal why you work with the dead i suppose
09:47uh anything jump out at you the preliminary autopsy no uh run-of-the-mill gun homicide the
09:52bullet to the head killed him instantly but the the shot to the body was fatal as well any signs
09:57of
09:57drug use no but the the talk screen is underway i'll let harper and lopez know the second it comes
10:02in perfect thank you very much i once had a widower insist on seeing his wife's body back when i
10:08was
10:08in sugarland ended up suing the city for mental anguish did he win no case got dismissed when he was
10:14convicted of her murder wow hi hi it's all it's all good she's she's fine i'm fine yeah i can
10:25see that
10:26but two minutes ago you were grieving i'm still grieving it manifests itself in unknowable ways
10:32right but you brought your boyfriend to help you identify your husband's body well i needed emotional
10:38support she's very sensitive yeah well you can emotionally support each other on the way to the
10:44station let's go oh this way this way yes okay put your hands down yes sir wow
10:51i know this looks bad understatement your husband was murdered and in less than 24 hours you were
10:58getting busy with your side piece down the hall from his body i didn't even want to be there
11:04uh i told faith it would look weird but she insisted so you were just trying to be a good
11:10boyfriend
11:11todd is a terrible boyfriend he's a lot of fun but anything that requires emotional death okay what about
11:18fred what was he like he was always super cool anytime that i came by you're saying fred knew about
11:24the affair it wasn't an affair it was an open marriage the whole thing was fred's idea i wanted a
11:32little
11:32bit of peace is it possible that todd wanted you all to himself listen i am twice divorced i am
11:40still
11:40paying alimony to the first i am not trying to put a ring on it there's a reason why todd
11:45is divorced
11:48todd is a good time like coney island fred on the other hand was deep and soulful and romantic
12:01like paris coney island is fun to visit but you don't move there oh her paris what do you think
12:10i think people are crazy but neither of them is a physical match for the shooters still doesn't
12:15roll out murder for hire oh yeah did you put wesley up to this no idea what you're talking about
12:22but
12:22if it's pissing you off i'm happy to take credit if he insists on moving forward i can't guarantee
12:28that i'll be able to keep you out of the crossfire did she just threaten me sure seems like it
12:34but why
12:36no idea but i'm gonna find out oh husband you only call me husband when you're mad what did i
12:43do you
12:44tell me vivian just stopped by she told you i was running for da wait you're running for da since
12:51when no no wait it got sprung on me this morning what does that mean some people came to talk
12:55to
12:55me about taking over sean's campaign and you told them no i did initially but but now you're thinking
13:03about it i mean i'd at least like to discuss it but i am supposed to be my way to
13:07court right now
13:08only lucy texted to tell me that our key piece of evidence is missing so is there any chance that
13:12we
13:12can just table this until tonight fine but only because yelling at you in the bullpen might come
13:16across as unprofessional thank you i love you everything okay are you free for dinner tonight
13:26depends can i bring james as long as you tell him he has to be team lopez on the penalty
13:32of death
13:32uh we'll be sure to prep him i remember lucy gave me the machete and i logged it like i
13:39always do
13:40okay so that right there is the problem smitty the system changed most of the world uses day month year
13:46month day year was causing all of these issues for us with our international cases which is why we
13:51switched you know didn't you read the memo sorry wait i just heard that out loud of course you didn't
13:57important memos are always covered in the roll call why do i have a panicked ada knocking on my door
14:04to ask for my help to find a missing machete because somebody wasn't listening when he went over the
14:08change and how we filed case numbers what the day month year thing yeah i didn't go over it my
14:15last
14:15day his watch commander was crazy i left it for you to do i thought you handled it oh it's
14:19not my
14:19fault it's yours everyone got the memo it's still your fault smitty well it's still on him for trusting
14:24me i didn't trust you i thought he covered it and i just didn't follow up i can't believe i
14:28dropped the
14:28ball i don't care whose fault it is i need the machete smitty use the old system right try zero
14:35one
14:35twenty twenty twenty six i i can't it's a drop down menu there's no 20th month well so you can
14:41enter
14:41the 20th month but you can't retrieve the 20th month correct no that's wrong it shouldn't work
14:45that way but that is how it works wesley says the judge is losing his patience if you can't produce
14:51the evidence he's prepared to dismiss the case guys this is bigger than one case everything smitty
14:57logged has been misfiled going back two months did the widow shed some light uh not exactly but her
15:03doorbell cam did this is from two days ago the car is registered to a rider frost known member of

24:47Is it just me or these numbers starting to blend together?
24:50It is, not just you.
24:52Everything okay with the press?
24:54Ryder's death was ruled in accidents,
24:56but there's always a chance they could reopen the case
24:58or blame me for this whole evidence-logging mess.
25:02Hey, just take the win.
25:03You're right.
25:06Look, I swear, if I lose Watch Commander because of Smitty...
25:09That's not going to happen.
25:10I have been manifesting that we will find this machete all day.
25:14Manifesting?
25:15Mm-hmm.
25:15God, I got you away from waters just in time.
25:18Shut up.
25:21You've got to be kidding me.
25:22Hmm?
25:26Oh, my God.
25:29This is it. This is it.
25:31Thank God. All right, let's go home.
25:33Okay.
25:36Wait, where are you?
25:37A yurt in Finland.
25:39The Northern Lights have been amazing the last few nights.
25:43Jealous.
25:44I know. I wish you were here to see them with me.
25:45Me, too. I miss you.
25:47Hey, Selena, I might have found something.
25:49So, Ryder...
25:50Is that Miles? Hey, Miles.
25:51Hey, man. How's the Great White North?
25:53He saw the Aurora.
25:54Oh, cool.
25:55Who's Ryder?
25:55A suspect in a murder.
25:57Well, that sounds important. Do you need to go?
25:58No.
25:58Just give me one second.
26:01What's up?
26:02Okay, so I was looking through Ryder's jewelry file.
26:04Between the ages of 9 to 14, he lived in four different foster homes.
26:08One was located in the 54th Street Territory.
26:10Foster parents were Mabel and Raphael Sinclair.
26:13Now, Raphael died a few years ago heart attack.
26:15But look at what I found on Mabel.
26:22Babe, I'm sorry. I gotta go.
26:24No worries. Have fun solving your murder.
26:26We will.
26:30This is Mabel Sinclair.
26:32Most 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.
26:54Selena ran his bin and found the body shop doing the repairs on his car.
26:58The bumper tested positive for blood.
27:01French sticks are running the sample.
27:02What's Ryder's connection to this woman?
27:04Oh, Mabel was his foster mother.
27:09That's the second shooter.
27:10That 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, Mabel wasn't dead.
27:25All I remember is going out to bring my trash cans in and then waking up here.
27:32And they told me it was a hit and run.
27:34Unfortunately, the man suspected of hitting you with his car was murdered.
27:38We have reason to believe your former foster sons, Ryder Frost and Kingston Holmes, want a revenge for what happened
27:44to you.
27:45It was painful enough losing Ryder and Kingston to the streets.
27:50I don't think I can take knowing that they killed a man because of me.
27:56We're very sorry, but I'm afraid that's not all.
28:00Ryder died yesterday trying to jump between rooftops.
28:03They were just hurt little boys underneath it all, you know?
28:08When Ryder first came to us, he was so shut down.
28:15He barely said two words to me that first month.
28:19The Kingston, he always had this way about him.
28:23This lightness, even after all he'd been through.
28:30But then they started to do everything together and bit by bit.
28:40I got to see Ryder for the sweet, sensitive boy he was.
28:46What happened?
28:47Ryder's mom came back into the picture with her skinhead boyfriend.
28:53And once he was gone, all of Kingston's light went with him.
28:59He started to act out, getting in trouble.
29:05And he was finally put away on some trumped-up vandalism charge.
29:12And then he joined the gang in prison.
29:19And suddenly, the two boys I saw become brothers
29:26were turned into mortal enemies by the streets.
29:31I'm sorry for how much pain this has caused you,
29:33but we'd like to bring Kingston in without any more bloodshed.
29:37Do you have any way of contacting him?
29:44What do you want me to say?
29:47Hey, the judge signed off on the wiretap.
29:49We should be good to go in a few.
29:50Great.
29:52What you were saying yesterday about D.C.
29:54and 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.
30:04But from what I saw, being a cop there just means a lot of crowd control
30:09around government offices, usually in crappy weather,
30:13snowstorms in the winter, swamp-like humidity in the summer.
30:17You 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,
30:26be prepared to relearn everything you thought you knew.
30:30Yeah, all right, we got to go.
30:45Mama?
30:46It's me, baby.
30:47Oh, thank God.
30:49I tried to visit you in the ICU, but they said blood family only.
30:52They made it sound like you were dying.
30:53Well, I am a little banged up, but I'll be all right.
30:57I wish I could come see you.
30:58Well, me too.
30:59You heard about Ryder?
31:04You know, me and Ryder don't really mess with each other anymore.
31:09He's dead, baby.
31:11Killed.
31:12Running away from what you boys did.
31:15I don't know what you're talking about.
31:18Kingston, please.
31:19You never were a good liar.
31:24You need to turn yourself in.
31:27I can't.
31:28You know what happened the last time I went inside.
31:30I had to join the 5-4 just to make it out alive.
31:32What other choice do you have?
31:34Just don't worry about me, Mama, okay?
31:36Just don't worry.
31:36I got a way out.
31:38Into Mexico where I can disappear.
31:40Mexico?
31:41What the heck do you know about Mexico?
31:44You know, Kingston, this is Detective Nyla Harper of the LAPD.
31:47Are you working with the cops?
31:49She is trying to save your life.
31:51Listen to me.
31:52If you run, things will end badly for you.
31:54But if you turn yourself in, we can try and help you.
32:01But please.
32:02He's scared.
32:04Don't hurt him.
32:05He's not a kid anymore, Miss Sinclair.
32:07He killed a man in cold blood.
32:08So now we have to go get him.
32:31Yo!
32:33What's up, Kay?
32:34I got you working the door already, huh?
32:36Damn, I was trying to come up.
32:405-4 for life.
32:54Yo, P-Man.
32:57Uh, can we talk?
32:58For sure!
32:59Come here.
33:01You good?
33:06Talk to me.
33:10I, I gotta, I gotta get out of town.
33:13You should, you should get that hookup with the cartel tunnels into Mexico.
33:17So, why?
33:19What happened?
33:20Unless you know the better.
33:21Just trust me on that.
33:23When you say trust me, I trust you, okay?
33:26Make a few phone calls.
33:27Look, relax.
33:28Have a drink.
33:30You know we got you.
33:31I think I'm okay.
33:34I think I'm not going to take you.
33:36I'm not going to take you.
33:37I don't know what I'm saying.
33:37You know we got you.
33:37Hey, I'm not going to be a background.
33:39Hey, I'm left.
33:40What's up?
33:40One three.
33:44You know, I totally didn't believe you'd be stupid enough to bring your dumb ass back around
33:56here.
33:56After all the disrespect showing us.
34:00Yeah, you hidden civilians.
34:02You working with Nazis.
34:04Trace on Kingston's phone landed at 4700 Hilldale.
34:07Copy that.
34:11Pull over up here.
34:15But the address is on the next block.
34:17Yeah, you recognize that tag?
34:2054th Street.
34:22We roll up hot.
34:23We could have spotters anywhere.
34:25Exactly.
34:26Let's go.
34:33Yo, youngin.
34:36It's your big moment, man.
34:37This the moment you prove how much you love the streets
34:39by taking care of a traitor-ass bitch that's disrespecting her.
34:43This the moment you prove to me you a good soldier.
34:45And you follow orders.
34:47All right, in return, the streets gonna lure you back.
34:50And wherever you go, the far foe follow.
34:54For life.
34:56Now you take care of this bitch.
35:17We ain't got all day.
35:24Swat's ten minutes out.
35:25You got eyes on Kingston?
35:26Yeah.
35:27But we're looking at a potential murder in progress.
35:29We can't wait.
35:34Now smoke this fool.
35:39Police!
35:40Go, go, go!
35:42Hey!
35:44Police!
35:45Drop your weapon!
35:53Show me your hands if you're up there!
35:59Go!
36:01Go, go!
36:09Cover us.
36:10Go!
36:19Stay down, stay down
36:32Wait
36:54Wait, wait, wait, please, please, please, please, please, please, you can, you can just say that you didn't see me,
37:02you can say that you didn't see me, you can say that you didn't see me, Trey, please, please
37:06Get on your stomach
37:08Go
37:12Drop the gun.
37:13Hit it with you here.
37:33The key is processed.
37:35Ah, thank you for that.
37:37Um, look, I realize this was a bit of a tough one.
37:40Are you all right?
37:41I'll be all right.
37:43I know I shouldn't feel sympathy, but he's just a boy.
37:48Look, no one is saying you can't feel sympathy,
37:50but at the end of the day, he did make the choice to pull that trigger.
37:55Why don't you go home? I'll take care of the paperwork.
37:58Yes, sir. Thank you.
38:00You bet.
38:02Uh.
38:06It amazes me how one man can wreak such havoc on the entire LAPD.
38:11Smitty is a force of nature.
38:13Uh, got a minute?
38:14Yeah, sure. What's up?
38:16Well, Bailey has been offered a pretty impressive job in D.C., a Pentagon think tank.
38:22And I was just wondering what a transfer to the DCPD would be like.
38:27Yeah, I can get you in touch with a few people.
38:31But you do know you would have to start at the very bottom again, including redoing the Academy.
38:36I've done it before.
38:37You were also five years younger.
38:39Yes.
38:40You would get a pretty hefty signing bonus.
38:43That's a perk.
38:44But your annual salary would be much less than you make in L.A.
38:48Plus, the cost of living in D.C. is just as expensive.
38:51So, in the long run, your bonus really won't make a difference,
38:55especially if Bailey's only making the government salary.
38:58Right.
38:58I'm sorry if this is not the answer you were looking for.
39:01No, no, that's, um...
39:04I was just looking for the truth.
39:06Yeah, well, good luck.
39:12Hey.
39:15The L.A.P.D. wouldn't be sad to see you go.
39:19Thank you, sir.
39:26Guess what?
39:28What?
39:28We won.
39:30That's great.
39:31Judge, give you any grief about the evidence?
39:33I think he was too confused by the explanation to challenge it.
39:38Take the win.
39:39Mm-hmm.
39:39I prepared a ten-minute lecture for tomorrow's roll call
39:42to make sure no one can ever again use ignorance as an excuse
39:45when mislabeling case numbers.
39:46You know, you're a really good watch commander.
39:49I'm figuring it out.
39:51No, listen.
39:52No matter what kind of craziness is going on at the station,
39:54you're always the center of calm.
39:56And the rest of us need that.
39:58I need that.
40:00Mm-hmm.
40:01Tell you what,
40:02a list of things we can't trust Smitty with is getting longer.
40:04Do you think he's doing it on purpose?
40:07Weaponized incompetence?
40:08Yeah.
40:08I don't think he's that strategic.
40:17Hey.
40:18Sorry I missed dinner.
40:22And bedtime.
40:25You should run for D.A.
40:28Are you sure?
40:30Because if you're not in 100%...
40:31I'm in.
40:33The more I thought about it,
40:34the more I realized this
40:35was exactly why you joined the D.A.'s office in the first place.
40:39Mm-hmm.
40:40And I'm proud you want to set that example for our children,
40:43especially because every day I see firsthand
40:45the people, our system, has failed.
40:48And inevitably, the ones who suffer the most
40:51are other kids.
40:53You sure you're okay waiting on a new house?
40:55No.
40:57But, like you said,
40:59real change requires sacrifice.
41:03And I love this house.
41:06We brought home
41:07two babies here.
41:11We also made two babies here.
41:14So we did.
41:15Mm-hmm.
41:19No food to entice me with, I see.
41:22No, but I have wine.
41:28Listen, I don't want to beat around the bush.
41:30I did my due diligence,
41:31and I am sorry, honey.
41:33I don't think I can do D.C.
41:35It would mean starting all over again as a rookie.
41:41Only this time, instead of being 45, I'd be 50.
41:44Oh.
41:45I don't think I can stay.
41:48What if...
41:51I'm not ready to say no.
41:54Well, you did say we both had to be in,
41:58or you would walk away.
41:59I know, and I meant it when I said it.
42:04But now...
42:06You still want it.
42:10So where does that leave us?
42:20This killer's underestimating you?
42:24Good.
42:25They won't even see you coming.
42:28What now?
42:29We get him.
42:37Damn it.
