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!
01:44Move, move!
01:46That's so cool.
02:01Beep, beep.
02:04Beep, beep.
02:07Beep, beep.
02:13why are you texting me when i'm right here letting you sleep that's sweet wait are you looking at
02:18real estate we have to upgrade we need more room a second tub a closet that fits all our clothes
02:27i mean yeah sure that would be nice but we created our family here which i love but now
02:32we're bursting at the seams and mama's ready to crack open that trust fund and get crazy
02:37i'm not sure i like the sound of that tough we have money uh no we have some money but
02:44housing
02:44prices in a layer insane i guess it couldn't hurt to see what's out there i love that you've learned
02:51to roll with me rather than resisting yes you have successfully broken my spirit yay
02:59quickie before the kiss wake up oh um
03:10too late i like this one i bet you could hang a swing set from that tree right there in
03:15the back
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
03:35pushing the 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 yeah 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 pentagon think tank wow you really married outside of your
03:59league i know right so is she gonna take it no uh it would mean relocating to dc so it's
04:04a non-starter
04:04for us i mean it might be a non-starter for you but i guarantee that your overachiever of a
04:09wife is
04:09seriously thinking about it no actually she was laughing it off when we talked about oh my god she's
04:15actually thinking about it seriously okay well no no if that's something she really wants to do
04:20relocating to dc could be cool it's not i spent time there during my joint ops days it took me
04:25about
04:25three weeks to unclench every time i came home thank you for that insight so any clarity on the victim
04:32fred wilson 48 cpa married no kids no criminal record making him an unlikely candidate for a targeted
04:39assassination is there anything else about the shooters that you didn't give heart sorry i did
04:45not get a good look at them what about cctv anything there they were pretty covered up but take a
04:51look at
04:52this
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
05:34hey do you know what this is an iron you know what it's not a machete i am due in
05:39court in two
05:40hours to testify about a man attacking people on a bus with a machete okay something must have got
05:44switched around in the evidence locker we'll figure it out no no the case is time not waived if we
05:49don't
05:49find it fast that psycho is going to be let free okay have you told the prosecutor no it's wesley
05:55and i
05:55am just trying to keep him in blissful ignorance as long as possible help me that's the case number
06:00no i know but it's wrong the case number isn't wrong the item might be wrong but numbers are just
06:06numbers fine um so the point is i have to be at court uh and and i need that machete
06:14like asap
06:15case number oh okay uh we're not gonna find out by using the case number the numbers got switched
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
15:09the
15:09southern front well that tattoo is a match definitely could be our shooter any idea who the
15:13other fella is not yet but it's taxed for 54 street gang besides the racial element don't sf and the
15:19five four compete for the same meth business they did up until a few months ago when the armenians
15:23pushed southern front further into the valley but they are certainly not allies they case the garage
15:28but not the house any idea what they were looking for we've got a last known for rider we're hoping
15:33you go
15:44ask him wait control pursuit assassin back to dream royal lake apartments some backup
16:19come on come on
16:28come on rider there's nowhere to go put your hands on your head
16:32down on your knees
16:38wait wait wait wait stop stop
16:40come on
16:59i'm sorry are these cases from the future apparently the system didn't know what to do with month
17:0320 and so it just made the math work and 12 months plus eight is august 20 27 cases from
17:0821st become
17:08september of next year and so on this is unbelievable the judge granted a continuance but we need the
17:13machete by noon tomorrow yep don't worry we will have it i'll stick around i feel responsible it's
17:18completely on me i should clarify you are on your way out okay you guys are both spartacus okay let's
17:23please start opening the boxes are you coming no
17:26no
17:28rest i thought you had a flight to catch
17:30i do but i couldn't leave l.a without making one last appeal well i guess you better come in
17:35then thank you
17:39oh really made a nice life for yourself here noon
17:42i can uh i can see why you'd hesitate before giving it up but anything i can say to convince
17:50you
17:52can i ask why i'm not a doctor or a scientist i don't have a phd
17:57why are you asking me maybe i've been around long enough to know that having a few extra
18:01letters after your name doesn't make you a genius i also know that if i bring you a problem you
18:05won't
18:06rest until you've looked at it from every conceivable angle twice before bringing me a solution
18:11what if i can't find a solution hell girl that's why they call it a think tank
18:15does me no good to have a bunch of identical people with identical viewpoints looking
18:18in identical directions baseball team can't be all pitchers need somebody to play shortstop
18:25all right i miss my flight if i don't get going so you know take a few days to think
18:29about it
18:30talk it over with your man and call me i will
18:36you know noon if you don't want the job because it's not the right fit or the
18:40right time that's fine i get it but deciding that you're not good enough before somebody else can
18:46that's the coward's way i know you're not a coward no sir i'm not
18:57giddy up
19:06yeah all right okay thanks for the update suspect in the central station market shooting fell to his
19:13death that's awful yeah i got that he was an action hero trying to leap between two buildings
19:16any leads on the second shooter no but the brass has been blown up my phone you know a guy
19:20falls to his
19:21death through the police pursuit everyone's got questions captain always a pleasure
19:28i do not miss that i don't think i've seen him sleep more than four consecutive hours since he took
19:33this job i know being sidelined for the president's visit shook him up and even though it was more of
19:38a cya decision by the brass an indictment on his performance the optics weren't great for him do you
19:45think you should be worried i think that watch commander is a thinkless job you're not in the field
19:50but you're responsible for every knucklehead that is patrol officers want resources you can't give
19:54them the brass expects results that you realistically can't produce and when there's bad press and they're
20:00looking for a head to roll right i didn't think of it that way because i made it look easy
20:04you'll get the hang of it
20:11the machete yes i gotta i gotta call wesley all right way to beat on that
20:22hey that sounds horrible it wasn't pretty that's for sure nolan and i barely had time to twist before
20:28it was all over oh so where does that leave the case still trying to id the second shooter
20:37hey did you know the armenians pushed the southern front's mess trade deeper into the deeper into the
20:41valley yep happened a few months ago i just want to write every gang report the department puts out
20:46and i haven't seen anything about that yeah see those reports only get you so far i mean the best
20:50information is usually through word of mouth which is great for me because i know people from all over
20:55the city well how can i compete with that when i just got here it takes time to cultivate that
21:01kind of
21:01choice true but i mean you'd be shocked by what some of these low-level game makers put on social
21:06media the ellie gang subreddit is a great resource look i gotta stay up anyway i've got a 2am zoom
21:12date
21:13with raj why don't i show you some of my favorite accounts to follow who knows you might see something
21:18on writer all right let's go coach i'm ready hey good to see you you too how you doing thought
21:26we might
21:26eat this oh very thoughtful what do you guys think should we crack it now or save it for dinner
21:32my
21:33vote is now okay and don't be stingy with the pores everyone clear on the plan oh yes yes james
21:40snows
21:41agree with everything you say and keep the starry-eyed reformer talk on our minimum perfect operation
21:47killer dream as it go mm-hmm he has a point we complain all the time about undocumented witnesses
21:54being too scared to testify instituting a policy that would protect them from deportation that would
22:00be a game changer i thought we were supposed to be team lopez i know but it's a good idea
22:05i'm not
22:06saying it's not a good idea but i think we're getting away from the larger point which is we'd be
22:11opening our lives up to public scrutiny which would be hard enough for you and me and i worry what
22:18it'll do to the kids so do i but i also want them to grow up knowing that their father
22:24is willing to
22:24fight for the rights of everybody even when it's difficult hey man look you started it think of what
22:32i'd be in the position to influence as the da i could end cash bail expand victim services emphasize
22:39counseling institutional change is always hard right but does that mean that i shouldn't try what about
22:44the house yeah well we would probably have to wait on that i mean optics would and you'd be fine
22:50letting public perception dictate how we live our lives in service of real reform
22:58maybe real change requires sacrifice but i would not do it at the expense of our family i would need
23:03to know that you were on board 100 percent hello whoa something smells good because i cooked more than
23:16cooked candles should i be worried no not at all i just know you had a really hard day and
23:22i wanted to
23:23do something nice for you oh uh-huh and uh what do you really want in exchange for this totally
23:31no
23:31strings attached feast a conversation about dc i didn't know we needed to have one i know and
23:40that is my fault but all day i have not been able to get this idea out of my head
23:46and russ stopped
23:48by on the way to the airport and gave me his final appeal and it made me question why i
23:54was so quick
23:55to shut it down well and before you tell me no or give me 100 reasons why it won't work
24:00all i ask is
24:01that you spend some time to explore the idea and by that you mean see what transferring to dc police
24:08would look like make some calls ask some questions kick the tires and what if we come to different
24:16conclusions we abort the mission either we're both in or both out we need both keys to launch the torpedoes
24:22yes what do you think i think i want you to be happy and if this is something you want
24:34then i will do
24:34everything i can from my end to see if it's feasible we're in this together
24:47is it just me or these numbers starting to blend together it is not just you okay everything okay
24:53with the press ryder's death was ruled in accidents but there's always a chance they could reopen the
24:58case or blame me for this whole evidence logging mess hey just take the win you're right
25:05look i swear if i lose watch commander because of smithy that's not gonna happen
25:10i have been manifesting that we will find this machete all day manifesting god i got you away
25:16from waters just in time you gotta be kidding me oh my god
25:29this is it this is it thank god all right let's go home
25:36wait where are you a yurt in finland the northern lights have been amazing the last few nights
25:42jealous i know i wish you were here to see them with me me too i miss you hey selena
25:48i might have
25:48found something so ryder is that miles hey miles hey man how's the great white north he saw the aurora
25:54oh cool who's ryder a suspect in a murder well that sounds important do you need to go no just
25:59give me
26:00one second what's up okay so i was looking through ryder's jewelry file between the ages of 9 to 14
26:06he lived in four different foster homes one was located in the 54th street territory foster parents
26:11were mabel and rafael sinclair and rafael died a few years ago heart attack but look at what i found
26:17on
26:21mabel uh babe i'm sorry i gotta go no worries uh have fun solving your murder we will
26:30this is mabel sinclair most of the kids in the neighborhood just call her mom since they know
26:36whatever they need food a place to stay clean clothes mabel will hook them up well last week mabel
26:41was a victim of a hit and run while crossing her street witnesses saw a red sedan speeding away from
26:45the
26:45scene but no arrests have been made anyone care to guess what kind of car fred wilson drove camera
26:51so you think fred hit mabel oh more than that selena ran his vent and found the body shop doing
26:57the
26:57repairs on his car the bumper tested positive for blood french sticks are running the sample
27:02what's ryder's connection to this woman oh mabel was his foster mother
27:09that's the second shooter that is keeson holmes 22
27:12proud member of the five four and former foster brother to ryder frost
27:16so they murdered fred wilson as revenge for killing mabel
27:21mabel wasn't dead
27:25all i remember is going out to bring my trash cans in and then waking up here and they told
27:32me it was
27:33a a hit and run unfortunately the man suspected of hitting you with his car was murdered we have
27:38reason to believe your former foster sons ryder frost and kingston homes want a revenge for what
27:44happened to you it was painful enough losing ryder and kingston to the streets i don't think i can
27:51take knowing that they killed a man because of me we're very sorry but i'm afraid that's not all
27:59ryder died yesterday trying to jump between rooftops
28:03they were just hurt little boys underneath it all you know when ryder first came to us he was
28:13so shut down he barely said two words to me that first month the kingston he always had this way
28:22about him this lightness even after all he'd been through but then
28:33they 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 ryder's mom came back into the picture with her skinhead boyfriend and once he was
28:54gone all of kingston's light went with him he started to act out getting in trouble
29:06and he was finally put away on some trumped up vandalism charge and then he joined the gang
29:16in prison and suddenly the two boys i saw become brothers
29:26were turned into mortal enemies by the streets i'm sorry for how much pain this has caused you
29:33but we'd like to bring kingston in without any more bloodshed do you have any way of contacting him
29:44what do you want me to say hey the judge signed off on the wiretop we should be good to
29:49go in a few
29:50great uh what you were saying yesterday about dc and needing to unclench it can't be that bad right
29:59i'm all right maybe i've just i've been spoiled by la i'm sure the city has a lot of great
30:04things about it but
30:04from what i saw being a cop there just means a lot of crowd control around government offices usually
30:11in crappy weather snowstorms in the winter swamp-like humidity in the summer you get
30:17two weeks of cherry blossoms a year and that's about it

33:51I truly didn't believe you'd be stupid enough
33:54to bring your dumb ass back around here.
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.

34:11Pull over up here.
34:15But the address is on the next block.
34:17Yeah, you recognize that tag?
34:2054th Street.
34:22The roll-up hoppy could have spotters anywhere.
34:25Exactly.
34:26Let's go.
34:27Let's go.
34:33Yo, youngin.
34:35It'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?
34:47In return, the streets gonna lure you back.
34:50And wherever you go,
34:52the far-foe follow.
34:55For life.
34:56Now you take care of this bitch.
35:17We ain't got all day.
35:24Just watch 10 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!
35:40Stop!
35:41Go, go, go!
35:42Hold!

36:19Stay down!
36:20Stay down!
36:20Stay down!
36:21I don't know.
36:22I'm sorry.
36:36I'm sorry.

36:54Wait, wait, wait, wait, please, please, please, please, please, please, you can, you can just say that you didn't see

37:06Get on your stomach.
37:08Go.
37:12Drop the gun.
37:13Hit the video here.
37:33The kids, process.
37:35Ah, thank you for that.
37:37Um, look, I realize this was a bit of a tough one.
37:40You all right?
37:41I'll be all right.
37:43I know I shouldn't feel sympathy, but he's just a boy.
37:47Look, no one is saying you can't feel sympathy, but at the end of the day, he did make the
37:52choice to pull that trigger.
37:55Why don't you go home?
37:56I'll take care of the paperwork.
37:58Yes, sir.
38:00You bet.
38:03Uh...
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, Sean, what's up?
38:15Well, Bailey has been offered a pretty impressive job in D.C., a Pentagon think tank, and I was just
38:23wondering what a transfer to the D.C. PD would be like.
38:27Yeah, I can get you in touch with a few people, but you do know you would have to start
38:33at 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., plus the cost of living in
38:49D.C. is just as expensive.
38:51So in the long run, your bonus really won't make a difference, especially 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.
39:39I prepared a ten-minute lecture for tomorrow's roll call to make sure no one can ever again use ignorance
39:44as an excuse when mislabeling case numbers.
39:46You know, you're a really good watch commander.
39:50I'm figuring it out.
39:51No, listen, no matter what kind of craziness is going on at the station, you'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, 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 DA.
40:28Are you sure?
40:30Because if you're not in 100%...
40:31I'm in.
40:32The more I thought about it, the more I realized this was exactly why you joined the DA's office in
40:38the first place.
40:40And I'm proud you want to set that example for our children.
40:43Especially because every day I see firsthand the people, our system has failed.
40:48And inevitably, the ones who suffer the most are other kids.
40:53You sure you're okay waiting on a new house?
40:55No.
40:57But, like you said, real change requires sacrifice.
41:03And I love this house.
41:06We brought home two babies here.
41:11We also made two babies here.
41:14So we did.
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 DC.
41:36It would mean starting all over again as a rookie.
41:41Only this time, instead of being 45, I'd be 50.
41:44Oh.
41:48What if...
41:51I'm not ready to say no.
41:54Well, you did say we both had to be in, or you would walk away.
41:59I know.
42:00And I meant it when I said it.
42:05But 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?
42:30We get him.
42:37Damn it.
42:37You still want it.
42:39You don't want it.
42:39You don't want it.
42:41You go.
42:42You
