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

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

16:40come on
16:59i'm sorry are these cases from the future apparently the system didn't know what to do with month 20 and
17:03so i just made the math work and 12 months plus eight is august 20 27 cases from 21st become
17:08september of
17:09next year and so on this is unbelievable the judge granted a continuance but we need the machete by noon
17:14tomorrow yep don't worry we will have it i'll stick around i feel responsible it's completely on me
17:19i don't should clarify you are on your way out okay you guys are both spartacus okay let's please start
17:24opening the boxes are you coming no rest i thought you had a flight to catch i do but i
17:31couldn't leave
17:31la without making one last appeal well i guess you better come in then thank you oh
17:39you've really made a nice life for yourself here noon i can uh i can see why you'd hesitate before
17:46giving it up but anything i can say to convince you can i ask why i'm not a doctor or
17:55a scientist i
17:56don't have a phd why are you asking me maybe i've been around long enough to know that having a
18:01few 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 does me no
18:15good to
18:16have a bunch of identical people with identical viewpoints looking in identical directions baseball
18:22team can't be all pitchers need somebody to play shortstop all right i miss my flight if i don't get
18:27going so you know take a few days to think about it talk it over with your man
18:32don't call me i will
18:36you know noon if you don't want the job because it's not the right fit or the right time that's
18:41fine 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
19:21his death in a 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
19:44you think you should be worried i think that watch commander is a thinkless job you're not in the
19:49field but you're responsible for every knucklehead that is patrol officers want resources you can't
19:54give them the brass expects results that you realistically can't produce and when there's bad
19:59press and they're looking for a head to roll right i don't think of it that way because i made
20:04it look
20:04easy you'll get the hang of it
20:11the machete yes i gotta i gotta call my sleep all right way to beat on that
20:18i got a crack in my tooth and it's way
20:22oh yeah that sounds horrible it wasn't pretty that's for sure nolan and i barely had time to
20:28twist before it was all over oh so where does that leave the case i'm still trying to id the
20:33second shooter hey did you know the armenians pushed the southern front's mess trade deeper into
20:41the deeper into the valley yep happened a few months ago i just want to write every gang report
20:45the department puts out and i haven't seen anything about that yeah see those reports only get you so far
20:49i mean the best information is usually through word of mouth which is great for me because i know people
20:55from all over the city well how could not compete with that when i just got here it takes time
21:00to
21:00cultivate that kind of trust true but i mean you'd be shocked by what some of these low-level
21:05game makers put on social media the le gang subreddit is a great resource look i gotta stay up anyway
21:11i've got a 2 a.m zoom date with raj why don't i show you some of my favorite accounts
21:16to follow
21:17who knows you might see something on rider all right let's go coach i'm ready
21:23hey good to see you you too how you doing thought we might need this
21:27oh very thoughtful what do you guys think should we crack it now or save it for dinner my vote
21:33is now
21:33okay and don't be stingy with the pores
21:38everyone clear on the plan oh yes yes james snows agree with everything you say and keep the starry-eyed
21:44reformer talk on our minimum perfect operation killer dream as it go
21:48mm-hmm he has a point we complain all the time about undocumented witnesses being too scared to
21:55testify instituting a policy that would protect them from deportation that would be a game changer
22:01i thought we're supposed to be team lopez i know but it's a good idea i'm not saying it's not
22:07a good
22:07idea but i think we're getting away from the larger point which is we'd be opening our lives up to
22:13public
22:13scrutiny which would be hard enough for you and me and i worry what it'll do to the kids so
22:19do i
22:21but i also want them to grow up knowing that their father is willing to fight for the rights of
22:26everybody even when it's difficult hey man what you started it think of what i'd be in the position
22:32to influence as the da i could end cash bail expand victim services emphasize counseling institutional
22:40change is always hard right but does that mean that i shouldn't try what about the house
22:46yeah well we would probably have to wait on that i mean optics would and you'd be fine letting public
22:51perception 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
23:03know that you were on board 100 percent hello whoa something smells good because i cooked more
23:16than cooked candles should i be worried no not at all i just know you had a really hard day
23:22and i
23:23wanted to do something nice for you oh uh-huh and uh what do you really want in exchange for
23:30this totally
23:31no strings attached feast a conversation about dc i didn't know we needed to have one i know and that
23:40is my fault but all day i have not been able to get this idea out of my head and
23:47russ stopped by on the
23:48way to the airport and gave me his final appeal and it made me question why i was so quick
23:55to shut it
23:55down well and before you tell me no or give me 100 reasons why it won't work all i ask
24:01is that you
24:02spend some time to explore the idea and by that you mean see what transferring to dc police would look
24:09like make some calls ask some questions kick the tires and what if we come to different conclusions
24:16we abort the mission either we're both in or both out we need both keys to launch a torpedoes yes
24:24what do you think i think i want you to be happy and if this is something you want then
24:34i 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
25:06look i swear if i lose watch command because of smithy that's not gonna happen i have been
25:11manifesting that we will find this machete all day manifesting god i got you away from waters just in
25:17times you gotta be kidding me oh my god this is it this is it thank god all right let's
25:32go 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
26:11where mabel and rafael sinclair and rafael died a few years ago heart attack but look at what i found
26:17on maple 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 was
26:41a victim of a hit and run while crossing her street witnesses saw a red sedan speeding away
26:45from the scene but no arrests have been made anyone care to guess what kind of car fred wilson drove
26:51so you think fred hit mabel oh more than that selena ran his bin 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
27:08that's the second shooter that is keeson holmes 22 proud member of the 5-4 and former foster brother
27:15to writer frost so 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 a
27:33a 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 holmes want a revenge for what happened
27:44to you it was painful enough losing ryder and kingston to the streets i don't think i can take knowing

28:09first 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
28:22him this lightness even after all he'd been through but then they started to do everything together and bit by
28:37bit
28:40i got to see ryder for the sweet sensitive boy he was what happened ryder's mom came back into the
28:50picture
28:51with her skinhead boyfriend and once he was gone all of kingston's light went with him
28:59he started to act out getting in trouble
29:06and he was finally put away on some trumped up vandalism charge and then
29:13he joined the gang in 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

34:50And wherever you go, the far foe follow.
34:54For life.

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.

35:40Go, go, go!
35:42Hey!

36:54Wait, wait, wait, wait!
36:55Please, please, please!
36:56Please!
36:59Please!
36:59Please!
36:59Please!
36:59You 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. Please.
37:06Get on your stomach.
37:08Go.
37:12Drop the gun.
37:33The kid's 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...
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,
37:51he 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.
37:59Thank you. You 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.,
38:21a 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,
38:34including 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. would be sad to see you go.
39:19Thank you, sir.
39:22Thank you, sir.
39:27Guess what?
39:28What?
39:28We won.
39:30That's great.
39:31Did the 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
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 comms.
39:56And the rest of us need that.
39:58I need that.
40:00Mm-hmm.
40:01Tell you what,
40:02the 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,
40:34the more I realized this was exactly why you joined the DA's office in the 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?
40:56No.
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?
42:23Good.
42:25They won't even see you coming.
42:28What now?
42:29We get him.
42:37Damn it.
