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!
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
02:26i 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 i'm not
02:37sure i like the sound of that tough we have money uh no we have some money but housing prices
02:44in a
02:45layer insane i guess it couldn't hurt to see what's out there i love that you've learned to
02:51roll with me rather than resisting yes you have successfully broken my spirit yay
02:59quickie before the kiss make up oh um
03:06mom come here
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 pushing
03:35the envelope hey nolan did you tell officer hart that the shooters last night were furries no i said
03:43they were wearing hoodies are you taking the case yeah do you mind just walking us through it yeah uh
03:48bailey and i were coming back from dinner at central station market date night no her former commanding
03:53officer 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
04:05i mean it might be a non-starter for you but i guarantee that your overachiever of a wife 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 three weeks to unclench every time i came home thank you for that insight so any clarity on
04:31the victim fred wilson 48 cpa married no kids no criminal record making him an unlikely candidate
04:38for a targeted assassination is there anything else about the shooters that you didn't give heart
04:43sorry sorry i did not get a good look at them what about cctv anything there they were pretty covered
04:49up but take a look at this uh looks like glitter's sf that would make him southern front no visible
05:02tattoos on the second shooter huh yeah so why would a member of a white supremacist gang partner up with
05:10a
05:10black man to execute a civilian in broad daylight told you he'd spot it you trained him well could
05:15be that our innocent cpa was helping the southern front to launder money or maybe he had a drug problem
05:22and owed them money we're trying to get the me to rush the talk screen but he's dodging our calls
05:27oh
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 hours
05:40to 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
05:55i am just trying to keep him in blissful ignorance as long as possible help me that's the case number
06:00no
06:00i know but it's wrong the case number isn't wrong the item might be wrong but numbers are just numbers
06:08fine um so the point is i have to be at court uh and and i need that machete like
06:14asap case number
06:15oh okay uh we're not gonna find it by using the case number the numbers got switched well if you
06:20don't have the case number then i can't help you oh it's gonna kill me it's uh relax maybe it's
06:25just
06:25a typo right the first eight numbers are the date the crime was on january 20th try 2010 2026.
06:36try 02-01-2026 wow 20-01-2025
06:48are 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 it
07:03what the hell is your problem uh good morning i have bent over backwards to treat you well and this
07:09is how you repay me i don't i'm sorry i don't know what's happening right now like hell you know
07:14your
07:14little innocent act would be a lot more believable if they weren't in your office just know this if you
07:19go 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's 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

17:46before giving it up
17:47but
17:49anything i can say to convince you
17:52can i ask why
17:53i'm not a doctor or a scientist
17:55i don't have a phd
17:57why are you asking me
17:59maybe you've been around long enough to know that having a few extra letters after your name doesn't make you
18:03a genius
18:03i also know that if i bring you a problem
18:05you won't rest until you've looked at it from every conceivable angle
18:08twice
18:09before bringing me a solution
18:11what if i can't find a solution
18:13hell girl that's why they call it a think tank
18:15it does me no good to have a bunch of identical people
18:17with identical viewpoints looking
18:19in identical directions
18:22baseball team can't be all pitchers
18:23need somebody to play shortstop
18:25all right i miss my flight if i don't get going
18:27so you know take a few days to think about it
18:30talk it over with your man
18:31and call me
18:33i will
18:36you know noon
18:37if you don't want the job because it's not the right fit
18:40or the right time that's fine
18:41i get it but deciding that you're not good enough
18:44before somebody else can
18:46that's the coward's way
18:49i know
18:50you're not a coward
18:51no sir i'm not
18:57giddy up
19:06yeah all right
19:08okay thanks for the update
19:10suspect in the central station market
19:12shooting fell to his death
19:13that's awful
19:14yeah guy thought he was an action hero
19:15trying to leap between two buildings
19:16any leads on the second shooter
19:18no but the brass has been blown up my phone
19:20you know a guy falls to his death in a police pursuit
19:22everyone's got questions
19:25captain
19:26always a pleasure
19:28i do not miss that
19:30i don't think i've seen him sleep more than four consecutive hours
19:32since he took this job
19:33i know being sidelined for the president's visit shook him up
19:37and even though it was more of a cya decision by the brass
19:40an indictment on his performance
19:42the optics weren't great for him
19:44do you think he should be worried
19:45i think that watch commander is a thinkless job
19:49you're not in the field but you're responsible for every knucklehead that is
19:51patrol officers want resources you can't give them
19:54the brass expects results that you realistically can't produce
19:58and when there's bad press and they're looking for a head to roll
20:01right i didn't think of it that way
20:03because i made it look easy
20:06you'll get the hang of it
20:11the machete
20:12yes
20:13i gotta call wesley
20:14all right way to beat on that
20:22oh yeah that sounds horrible
20:24it wasn't pretty
20:25that's for sure
20:26nolan and i barely had time to twist before it was all over
20:29oh so where does that leave the case
20:32still trying to id the second shooter
20:34hmm
20:36hey
20:37did you know the armenians pushed the southern front's mess trade deeper into the
20:41deeper into the valley
20:41yep
20:42happened a few months ago
20:43i just wanna read every gang report the department puts out
20:46and i haven't seen anything about that
20:47yeah see those reports only get you so far
20:49i mean the best information is usually through word of mouth
20:52which is great for me because i know people from all over the city
20:57well how can i compete with that when i just got here
20:59it takes time to cultivate that kind of trust
21:01true but i mean you'd be shocked by what some of these low-level game makers put on social media
21:07the ellie gang subreddit is a great resource
21:09look i gotta stay up anyway
21:11i've got a 2am zoom date with raj
21:13why don't i show you some of my favorite accounts to follow
21:17who knows you might see something on rider
21:19all right let's go coach i'm ready
21:23hey good to see ya
21:25you too
21:25how you doing
21:26thought we might need this
21:27ooh
21:29very thoughtful
21:30what do you guys think should we crack it now or save it for dinner
21:32my vote is now
21:33okay
21:34and don't be stingy with the pores
21:38everyone clear on the plan
21:39oh yes yes james snows agree with everything you say
21:42and keep the starry-eyed reformer talk on our minimum
21:45perfect
21:47operation killer dream is a go
21:48mm-hmm
21:50he has a point
21:51we complain all the time about undocumented witnesses being too scared to testify
21:55instituting a policy that would protect them from deportation
21:59that would be a game changer
22:01i thought they were supposed to be team lopez
22:03i know but it's a good idea
22:05i'm not saying it's not a good idea
22:07but i think we're getting away from the larger point
22:10which is we'd be opening our lives up to public scrutiny
22:13which would be hard enough for you and me
22:16and i worry what it'll do to the kids
22:19so do i
22:21but i also want them to grow up knowing that their father is willing to fight
22:25for the rights of everybody even when it's difficult
22:27hey ma'am
22:29what
22:30you started it
22:31think of what i'd be in the position to influence as the da
22:34i could end cash bail
22:37expand victim services
22:38emphasize counseling
22:39institutional change is always hard
22:41right but does that mean that i shouldn't try
22:44what about the house
22:46yeah well we would probably have to wait on that
22:48i mean optics would
22:49and you'd be fine
22:50letting public perception dictate how we live our lives
22:53in service of real reform
22:57maybe
22:58real change requires sacrifice
23:01but i would not do it at the expense of our family
23:03i would need to know that you were on board
23:04one hundred percent
23:09hello
23:10whoa
23:12something smells good
23:13because i cooked
23:15we
23:16more than cooked
23:17candles
23:18should i be worried
23:19no not at all
23:20i just know you had a really hard day
23:22and i wanted to do something nice for you
23:24oh
23:25uh-huh
23:26and uh
23:28what do you really want in exchange for this totally no strings attached feast
23:34a conversation
23:36about dc
23:37i didn't know we needed to have one
23:39i know
23:40and that is my fault
23:41but
23:42all day
23:43i have not been able to get this idea out of my head
23:46and russ stopped by on the way to the airport
23:49and gave me his final appeal
23:51and it made me question
23:53why i was so quick to shut it down
23:56well
23:56and before you tell me no
23:58or give me one hundred reasons why it won't work
24:00all i ask is that you spend some time
24:03to explore the idea
24:05and by that you mean
24:06see what transferring to dc police would look like
24:10make some calls
24:11ask some questions
24:12kick the tires
24:13and
24:13what if we come to different conclusions

24:50it is not just you
24:52everything okay with the brass
24:53Ryder's death was ruled an accident
24:57but 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 command because of smith

25:32all 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
25:42jealous
25:43i 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 so 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
25:56well that sounds important do you need to go
25:58no
25:59just give me one second
26:00what'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
26:07one was located in the 54th street territory
26:10foster parents were Mabel and Raphael Sinclair
26:13and Raphael died a few years ago heart attack
26:15but look at what i found on Mabel
26:21uh babe i'm sorry i gotta go
26:23no worries
26:24uh 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
26:36food a place to stay clean clothes
26:38Mabel will hook them up
26:39well 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
27:08that's the second shooter
27:10that is Keyeson Holmes, 22
27:12proud member of the 5-4
27:13and former foster brother to Ryder Frost
27:15so they murdered Fred Wilson as revenge for killing Mabel
27:19well
27:21Mabel wasn't dead
27:25all i remember is going out to bring my trash cans in
27:30and then waking up here and 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
27:41Ryder Frost and Kingston Holmes
27:43want a revenge for what happened to 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
27:54because of me
27:56we're very sorry
27:58but 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
28:07when Ryder first came to us
28:11he was
28:13so shut down
28:15he barely said two words to me that first month
28:19at Kingston
28:20he always had this way about him
28:23this lightness
28:26even after all he'd been through
28:29but then
28:32they 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?
28:48Ryder's mom came back into the picture with her skinhead boyfriend
28:53and once he was gone
28:54all of Kingston's light went with him
28:58he started to act out getting in trouble
29:05and he was finally put away on some trumped up vandalism charge
29:12and then
29:14he joined the gang
29:16in prison
29:19and suddenly
29:21the two boys I saw become brothers
29:25were turned into mortal enemies by the streets
29:31I'm sorry for how much pain this has caused you
29:33but we 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?
29:46that's good
29:47hey the judge signed off on the wiretap
29:49we should be good to go on a few
29:50great
29:51what you were saying yesterday about DC
29:53and needing to
29:55unclench
29:56it can't be that bad, right?
29:59alright, maybe I've just
30:00I've been spoiled
30:01by LA
30:02I'm sure the city has a lot of great things about it
30:04but from what I saw
30:06being a cop there
30:07just means a lot of crowd control
30:09around government offices
30:11usually in crappy weather
30:12snow storms
30:13in the winter
30:14swamp-like humidity
30:16in the summer
30:16you get two weeks of cherry blossoms a year
30:20and that's about it
30:22also, speaking as someone
30:24who thought transferring to another department would be easy
30:26be prepared to relearn everything you thought you knew
30:30yeah, alright, we gotta go
30:41keep Msta
30:45mama?
30:46it's me baby
30:48thank God
30:48I tried to visit you in the ICU
30:50but 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 your 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, Mom, 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.
32:25He's the man in cold blood.
32:28I've seen her.
32:28He killed a man in cold blood.
32:30He killed a man in cold blood.
32:31He killed a man in cold blood.
32:36So here's the man in cold blood.
32:39That's what I fought for life.
32:54Yo, P-mate.
32:57Can we talk?
32:59For sure. Come here.
33:02You good?
33:06Talk to me.
33:10I gotta get out of town.
33:13You sure you got that hookup with the cartel tunnels into Mexico?
33:17For sure. Why? What happened?
33:20Unless you know the better. Just trust me on that.
33:23When you say trust me, I trust you, okay?
33:26Make a few phone calls.
33:27Look, relax. Have a drink.
33:30You know we got you.
33:41We got you.
33:42We got you.
33:44We got you.
33:44We got you.
33:46We got you.
33:47We got you.
33:47We got you.
33:49We got you.
33:49We got you.
33:49Yo.
33:51What?
33:51I truly didn't believe you'd be stupid enough to 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.
34:07Copy 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.
34:35It's your big moment, man.
34:37This the moment you prove how much you love the streets by taking care of a traitor-ass bitch that's
34:41disrespecting her.
34:43This the moment you prove to me you a good soldier.
34:45And you follow orders.
34:47And in return, the streets gonna lure you back.
34:50And wherever you go, the five-fold follow.
34:54For life.
34:56Now you take care of this bitch.
35:17We ain't got all day.
35:24Just watch ten minutes out.
35:25You got eyes on Kingston?
35:26Yeah.
35:26But 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!
35:44Police! Drop your weapon!
36:04Go, go!
36:09Cover us.
36:10Go!
36:10Go!
36:18Stay down!
36:19Stay down!
36:20Stay down!
36:20Stay down!
36:32Wait!
36:54Wait, wait, wait.
36:55Please, please, please.
36:56Please!
36:59Please!
36:59Please!
36:59You can-
37:00You can just say that you didn't see me.
37:02You can say that you didn't see me.
37:03You can say that you didn't see me.
37:05Trey, please!
37:06Please!
37:06Get on your stomach.
37:08Go!
37:12Drop the gun.
37:13Head with your head.
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 alright?
37:41I'll be alright.
37:43I know I shouldn't feel sympathy, but...
37:46He'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.
37:55Look, why don't you go home?
37:56I'll take care of the paperwork.
37:58Yes, sir.
38:00You bet.
38:06It amazes me how one man can wreak such havoc on the entire LAPD.
38:11Smitty.
38:11Smitty is a force of nature.
38:13Uh, got a minute?
38:14Yeah, sure.
38:15What's up?
38:15Well, 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., 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, I was just looking for the truth.
39:06Yeah, well, good luck.
39:12Hey, the L.A.P.D. would be sad to see you go.
39:19Thank you, sir.
39:26Guess what?
39:28What?
39:28We won.
39:30That's great.
39:31Did Judge 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 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.
39:49I'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 comm.
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%-
40:32I'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.
40:39Hm.
40:39And 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?
42:29We get him.
42:37Damn it.
42:38Damn it.
