Transcript
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!
01:44Wait for a few, wait for a few, wait.
02:13Why are you texting me when I'm right here?
02:15Letting you sleep.
02:16That's sweet.
02:17Wait, are you looking at real estate?
02:20We have to upgrade.
02:22We need more room.
02:23A second.
02:24Tub, a closet that fits all our clothes.
02:27I mean, yeah, sure, that would be nice, but we created our family here.
02:31Which I love, but now we're bursting at the seams, and Mama's ready to crack open that
02:36trust fund and get crazy.
02:37I'm not sure I like the sound of that.
02:39Tough.
02:39We have money.
02:41Uh, no, we have some money, but housing prices and a layer are insane.
02:48I guess it couldn't hurt to see what's out there.
02:50I love that you've learned to roll with me rather than resisting.
02:53Yes, you have successfully broken my spirit.
02:56Yay.
02:59Quickie before the kiss woke up?
03:01Oh, um, whoa.
03:06Mom, come here!
03:10Too late.
03:11I like this one.
03:12I bet you could hang a swing set from that tree right there in the back.
03:16That was my favorite until I saw this.
03:19It has a pool and a gym and a screening room.
03:23Wait, hold up.
03:24You got screening room kind of money?
03:26Depends on which one of us you ask.
03:28Wesley is the king of frugality, so he would definitely say no, but I lived on credit cards
03:33until I met him, so I'm way more comfortable pushing the envelope.
03:36Hey, Nolan, did you tell Officer Hart that the shooters last night were furries?
03:42No, I said they were wearing hoodies.
03:44Are you taking the case?
03:45Yeah, do you mind just walking us through it?
03:48Yeah, uh, Bailey and I were coming back from dinner at Central Station Market.
03:51Date night?
03:52No, her former commanding officer came to offer her a job, uh, Pentagon think tank.
03:57Wow, you really married outside of your league.
03:59I know, right?
04:00So is she gonna take it?
04:01No, uh, it would mean relocating to D.C., so it's a non-starter for us.
04:05I mean, it might be a non-starter for you, but I guarantee that your overachiever of a wife
04:09is seriously thinking about it.
04:10No, actually, she was laughing it off when we talked about,
04:14uh, oh my God, she's actually thinking about it seriously.
04:17Okay, well, no, no, if that's something she really wants to do,
04:20relocating to D.C. could be cool.
04:22It's not.
04:22I spent time there during my joint ops days.
04:25It took me about three weeks to unclench every time I came home.
04:28Thank you for that insight.
04:30So, any clarity on the victim?
04:32Fred Wilson, 48, CPA, married, no kids, no criminal record.
04:37Making him an unlikely candidate for a targeted assassination.
04:40Is there anything else about the shooters that you didn't give heart?
04:44Sorry, I did not get a good look at them.
04:46What about CCTV?
04:47Anything there?
04:48They were pretty covered up, but take a look at this.
04:58Uh, looks like the litter's SF.
04:59That would make him Southern Front.
05:01No visible tattoos on the second shooter.
05:05Huh.
05:06Yeah.
05:06So, why would a member of a white supremacist gang
05:09partner up with a black man to execute a civilian in broad daylight?
05:13Told you he'd spot it.
05:14You trained him well.
05:15Could be that our innocent CPA was helping the Southern Front launder money,
05:20or maybe he had a drug problem and owed them money.
05:23We're trying to get the ME to rush the talk screen, but he's dodging our calls.
05:27Oh, Santa Moore, I'll go deliver the ask in person.
05:29Let me collect my boot.
05:34Hey, do you know what this is?
05:36An iron?
05:37You know what it's not?
05:38A machete.
05:39I am due in court in two hours to testify about a man attacking people on a bus with a
05:43machete.
05:44Okay, something must have got switched around in the evidence locker.
05:46We'll figure it out.
05:46No, no.
05:47The case is time not waived.
05:48If we don't find it fast, that psycho is going to be let free.
05:51Okay, have you told the prosecutor?
05:53No.
05:54It's Wesley, and I am just trying to keep him in blissful ignorance as long as possible.
05:58Help me.
05:59That's the case number.
06:00No, I know, but it's wrong.
06:02The case number isn't wrong.
06:03The item might be wrong, but numbers are just numbers.
06:08Fine.
06:08Um, so the point is, I have to be at court, uh, and I need that machete, like, ASAP.
06:15Case number?
06:16Oh, good.
06:17Uh, we're not going to find out by using the case number.
06:19The numbers got switched.
06:20Well, if you don't have the case number, then I can't help you.
06:22Oh, Wesley's going to kill me.
06:23It's, uh, relax.
06:24Maybe it's just a typo, right?
06:27The first eight numbers are the date.
06:28The crime was on January 20th.
06:30Try 2010-2026.
06:36Try 2002-01-2026.
06:40Wow.
06:412001-2025.
06:48Are you sure you used the new data entry procedure?
06:50We changed it a few months ago.
06:52Of course I did.
06:53I keep...
06:55But I wasn't the one who logged the entry because you wouldn't approve the overtime.
06:59I had Smitty do it.
07:03What the hell is your problem?
07:05Uh, good morning.
07:06I have bent over backwards to treat you well, and this is how you repay me.
07:10I don't...
07:11I'm sorry.
07:11I don't know what's happening right now.
07:12Like 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.
07:18If you go through with it, I will do everything in my power to absolutely destroy you.
07:24Hi.
07:30Who are you?
07:31What are you doing in my office, and why has it sent Vivian into a rage spiral?
07:34Rita Sanchez.
07:36This is Bradley Worth.
07:37We work with the Democratic Party, and we want you to run for district attorney.
07:41And now it makes sense.
07:43That's a hard no for me, by the way, but thanks for stopping by.
07:45Look, you 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.
07:50Why come to me now?
07:51Candidly, we've been having a hard time finding someone to take up his mantle.
08:06So I'm your last choice?
08:11And Vivian becoming DA's worst-case scenario for the people of the city.
08:14I mean, she has the most regressive record in your office.
08:17Oh, I agree.
08:17But there's zero chance of me beating her.
08:19I was temporarily disbarred.
08:20Because of your dealings with Elijah Stone.
08:22We know.
08:23Yeah, and we are prepared to embrace that.
08:25I mean, you're a hero who put his life and career on the line to take down a very dangerous
08:29kingpin.
08:30Voters love a man who's willing to stand up for what's right.
08:32Not to mention, you're married to a cop, which automatically makes you a more attractive candidate to anyone worried that
08:38progressive means soft on crime.
08:41Look, I don't want Vivian to win any more than you do, but I...
08:44But nothing.
08:44A Vivian victory will hurt a lot of people.
08:47And right now, you're our last hope at stopping her.
08:50It may be a long shot, but isn't it worth the risk?
08:55I thought you didn't have time to stroke my ego.
08:59You have to let me see you.
09:01I don't, actually.
09:02On TV, the family has to identify the body.
09:05Yeah, we don't do that anymore.
09:06That's right, ma'am.
09:08It's no longer policy.
09:09But trust me, it's for the best.
09:11Seeing your loved one like that, it changes how you remember them forever.
09:16I don't understand.
09:18Fred was a saint.
09:20Why would someone want to kill him?
09:21Well, that's what we're trying to figure out.
09:24He's really dead?
09:27Yes, ma'am.
09:27I'm afraid so.
09:28And we are so sorry for your loss.
09:31Okay.
09:37Thanks for the assist.
09:39Grief makes people a little crazy, and I don't like dealing with them when they're normal.
09:43Why?
09:43You work with the dead, I suppose.
09:47Anything jump out at you, the preliminary autopsy?
09:50No, a run-of-the-mill gun homicide.
09:52The bullet to the head killed him instantly, but the shot to the body was fatal as well.
09:56Any signs of drug use?
09:57No, but the talk screen is underway.
10:00I'll let Harper and Lopez know the second it comes in.
10:03Perfect.
10:03Thank you very much.
10:04Thank you very much.
10:05I once had a widower insist on seeing his wife's body back when I was in Sugar Land.
10:09Ended up suing the city for mental anguish.
10:11Did he win?
10:12No.
10:13Case got dismissed when he was convicted of her murder.
10:16Wow.
10:18Hey, Lance, let her go.
10:20Whoa, hey.
10:20Hi, hi.
10:21It's all good.
10:22She's fine.
10:23I'm fine.
10:24Yeah, I can see that.
10:26But two minutes ago, you were grieving.
10:28I'm still grieving.
10:29It manifests itself in unknowable ways.
10:32Right.
10:32But you brought your boyfriend to help you identify your husband's body?
10:35Well, I needed emotional support.
10:39She's very sensitive.
10:41Yeah.
10:41Well, you can emotionally support each other on the way to the station.
10:44Let's go.
10:45Oh.
10:46This way.
10:46This way?
10:47Yes.
10:47Okay.
10:48Put your hands down.
10:48Yes, sir.
10:49Wow.
10:52I know this looks bad.
10:54Understatement.
10:55Your husband was murdered, and in less than 24 hours, you were getting busy with your side
10:59piece down the hall from his body.
11:02I didn't even want to be there.
11:04I told Faith it would look weird, but she insisted.
11:08So you were just trying to be a good boyfriend?
11:11Todd is a terrible boyfriend.
11:14He's a lot of fun, but anything that requires emotional death.
11:17Okay, what about Fred?
11:18What was he like?
11:19He was always super cool any time that I came by.
11:23You're saying Fred knew about the affair?
11:25It wasn't an affair.
11:26It was an open marriage.
11:29The whole thing was Fred's idea.
11:31Guy wanted a little bit of peace.
11:33Is it possible that Todd wanted you all to himself?
11:36Listen, I am twice divorced.
11:39I am still paying alimony to the first.
11:42I am not trying to put a ring on it.
11:44There's a reason why Todd is divorced.
11:48Todd is a good time, like Coney Island.
11:52Fred, on the other hand, was deep and soulful and romantic.
12:01Like Paris.
12:04Coney Island is fun to visit, but you don't move there.
12:08Oh, for Paris?
12:09What do you think?
12:10I think people are crazy.
12:12But neither of them is a physical match for the shooters.
12:15Still doesn't rule out murder for hire.
12:17Oh, yeah.
12:18Did you put Wesley up to this?
12:21I have no idea what you're talking about, but if it's pissing you off, I'm happy to take credit.
12:25If he insists on moving forward, I can't guarantee that I'll be able to keep you out of the crossfire.
12:32Did she just threaten me?
12:33Sure seems like it.
12:35But why?
12:36No idea.
12:37But I'm gonna find out.
12:39Oh, husband!
12:41You only call me husband when you're mad.
12:43What did I do?
12:44You tell me.
12:45Vivian just stopped by.
12:47She told you I was running for DA.
12:48Wait, you're running for DA?
12:50Since when?
12:51No, no, no.
12:51Wait, it got sprung on me this morning.
12:53What does that mean?
12:54Some people came to talk to me about taking over Sean's campaign.
12:56And you told them no.
12:58I did.
13:00Initially, but...
13:01But...
13:02Now you're thinking about it?
13:03I mean, I'd at least like to discuss it.
13:05But I am supposed to be on my way to court right now.
13:08Only Lucy texted to tell me that our key piece of evidence is missing.
13:11So is there any chance that we can just table this until tonight?
13:13Fine, but only because yelling at you in the bullpen might come across as unprofessional.
13:17I love you.
13:24Everything okay?
13:25Are you free for dinner tonight?
13:27Depends.
13:27Can I bring James?
13:28As long as you tell him he has to be Team Lopez on the penalty of death.
13:33I will be sure to prep him.
13:36I remember Lucy gave me the machete and I logged it like I always do.
13:40Okay, so that right there is the problem, Smitty.
13:42The system changed.
13:44Most 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 switched.
13:51You know, didn't you read the memo?
13:54Sorry, wait.
13:55I just heard that out loud.
13:56Of course you didn't.
13:57Important memos are always covered in the roll call.
14:01Why do I have a panicked ADA knocking on my door to ask for my help to find a missing
14:06machete?
14:06Because Smitty wasn't listening when he went over the change in how we filed case numbers.
14:10What, the day, month, year thing?
14:12Yeah.
14:13I didn't go over it.
14:14My last day as watch commander was crazy.
14:16I left it for you to do.
14:17I thought you handled it.
14:18Oh, it's not my fault, it's yours.
14:20Everyone got the memo.
14:22It's still your fault, Smitty.
14:23Well, it's still on him for trusting me.
14:24I didn't trust you.
14:25I thought he covered it and I just didn't follow up.
14:27I can't believe I dropped the ball out.
14:28I don't care whose fault it is.
14:30I need the machete.
14:32Smitty used the old system, right?
14:34Try 01-20-20-26.
14:36I can't.
14:37It's a drop-down menu.
14:39There's no 20th month.
14:40Well, so you can enter the 20th month, but you can't retrieve the 20th month?
14:43Correct.
14:43No, that's wrong.
14:44It shouldn't work that way.
14:45But that is how it works.
14:47Wesley says the judge is losing his patience.
14:51If he can't produce the evidence, he's prepared to dismiss the case.
14:54Guys, this is bigger than one case.
14:56Everything Smitty logged has been misfiled.
14:58Going back two months.
15:01Did the widow shed some light?
15:02Not exactly, but her doorbell cam did.
15:04This is from two days ago.
15:06The car is registered to a Ryder Frost, known member of the Southern Front.
15:10Well, that tattoo is a match.
15:12Definitely could be our shooter.
15:13Any idea who the other fellow is?
15:14Not yet, but it's tasked with 54th Street Gang.
15:16Besides the racial element, don't SF and the 54 compete for the same meth business?
15:21They did up until a few months ago when the Armenians pushed Southern Front further into the valley.
15:26But they are certainly not allies.
15:27They case the garage, but not the house.
15:30Any idea what they were looking for?
15:31We've got a last known for Ryder.
15:33We're hoping you go ask him.
15:44Wait!
15:49Control and pursuit assassin back at Dream Royal Lake Apartments.
15:52Some backup.
15:54No, no, no.
15:55No, no, no.
15:56No, no, no.
15:57Run it around.
15:58Face on the floor.
16:01One coming out and saying you need your door.
16:05Kids on the board come a fake over.
16:08Come on, come on.
16:28Come on Ryder, there's nowhere to go put your hands on your head down on your knees
16:59I'm sorry, are these cases from the future?
17:01Apparently the system didn't know what to do with month 20 and so it just made the math work
17:04and 12 months plus 8 is August 2027
17:07Cases from 21st become September of next year and so on
17:10This is unbelievable
17:11The judge granted a continuance but we need the machete by noon tomorrow
17:15Yep, don't worry, we will have it
17:16I'll stick around, I feel responsible
17:18It's completely on me
17:19I should have clarified
17:20You are on your way out
17:21Okay, you guys are both Spartacus, okay? Let's please start opening the boxes
17:24Are you coming?
17:25No
17:28Russ, I thought you had a flight to catch
17:30I do, but I couldn't leave LA without making one last appeal
17:33Well, I guess you better come in then
17:35Thank you
17:37Oh
17:39You've really made a nice life for yourself here, noon
17:42I can, uh, I can see why you'd hesitate before giving her 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
18:02Doesn't make you a genius
18:03I also know that if I bring you a problem, you won't rest until you've looked at it from every
18:07conceivable angle
18:08Twice
18:09Before bringing me a solution
18:11But what if I can't find a solution?
18:13Hell, girl, that's why they call it a think tank
18:14It does me no good to have a bunch of identical people with identical viewpoints looking in identical directions
18:22Baseball team can't be all pitchers
18:23Need somebody to play shortstop
18:25Alright, I'm gonna 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
18:31Don't call me
18:33I will
18:36You know, noon
18:37If you don't want the job because it's not the right fit or the right time, that's fine, I get
18:42it
18:42But deciding that you're not good enough before somebody else can
18:46That's the coward's way
18:49And I know you're not a coward
18:51No, sir, I'm not
18:58Giddy up
19:06Yeah, alright
19:08Okay, thanks for the update
19:10Suspect in the Central Station Market shooting fell to his death
19:13That's awful
19:14Yeah, a guy thought he was an action hero trying 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, everyone's got questions
19:25Captain
19:25Always a pleasure
19:28I do not miss that
19:30I don't think I've seen him sleep more than four consecutive hours since 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, an 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
20:14I'll wait a minute on that
20:22Okay, that sounds horrible
20:24It wasn't pretty, that's for sure
20:26Nolan and I barely had time to twist before it was all over
20:29So where does that leave the case?
20:32Still trying to ID the second shooter
20:36Hey, did you know the Armenians pushed the southern front's mass trade deeper into the...
20:41Deeper into the valley?
20:42Yep, happened a few months ago
20:43I just wanna write every gang report the department puts out and 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
20:53Which is great for me because I know people from all over the city
20:57Well, how could 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 LA Gang subreddit is a great resource
21:09Look, I gotta stay up anyway
21:11I've got a 2 a.m. 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 Ryder
21:20Alright, let's go, coach
21:21I'm ready
21:23Hey, good to see ya
21:25You too
21:25How you doing?
21:26Thought we might need this
21:27Ooh, very thoughtful
21:30What do you guys think? Should we crack it now or save it for dinner?
21:33My 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 Snow's agreed with everything you say
21:42And keep the starry-eyed reformer talk on our minimum
21:45Perfect
21:47Operation Kill a Dream is a go
21:48Mm-hmm
21:50He has a point
21:51We complain all the time about undocumented witnesses
21:54Being 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
22:24For the rights of everybody
22:26Even when it's difficult
22:27Amen
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
23:16More 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
23:24Yeah
23:25Uh-huh
23:26And, uh
23:27What 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 all 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
24:09Make some calls
24:11Ask some questions
24:12Kick the tires
24:13And
24:13What if we come to different conclusions?
24:17We abort the mission
24:18Either we're both in
24:19Or we're both out
24:20We need both keys to launch the torpedoes
24:22Yes
24:24What do you think?
24:28I think I want you to be happy
24:31And if this is something you want
24:34Then I will do everything I can
24:36From my end
24:36To see if it's feasible
24:40We're in this together
24:47Is it just me or these numbers starting to blend together?
24:50It is not just you
24:52Everything okay with the press?
24:54Ryder's death was ruled an accident
24:56But there's always a chance they could reopen the case
24:58Or blame me for this whole evidence logging mess
25:02Hey
25:02Just take the win
25:03You're right
25:05Look
25:06I swear if I lose Watch Commander
25:08Because of Smitty
25:09That's not gonna happen
25:10I have been manifesting
25:12That we will find this machete all day
25:14Manifesting?
25:15Mm-hmm
25:15God I got you away from waters just in time
25:18So
25:21You gotta be kidding me
25:22Hmm?
25:26Oh my god
25:29This is it!
25:30This is it!
25:31Thank god
25:32Alright let's go home
25:33Okay
25:33Woo!
25:36Wait where are you?
25:37A yurt
25:38In 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
25:46I miss you
25:47Hey Selena
25:48I might have found something
25:49So Ryder
25:50Is that Miles?
25:50Hey Miles
25:51Hey man
25:52How'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
25:57Do you need to go?
25:58No
25:58Just give me one second
26:01What's up?
26:02Okay so I was looking through Ryder's jewelry file
26:04Between the ages of 9 to 14 he lived in four different foster homes
26:07One 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
26:22Babe I'm sorry I gotta go
26:24No worries
26:24Have 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
26:46But 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
26:54Selina ran his bin and found the body shop doing the repairs on his car
26:58The bumper tested positive for blood
27:00French sticks are running the sample
27:02What's Ryder's connection to this woman?
27:04Oh Mabel was his foster mother
27:09That's the second shooter
27:10That is Keyeson Holmes, 22
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
27:32And they told me it was a hit and run
27:34Unfortunately the man suspected of hitting you with his car was murdered
27:38We have reason to believe your former foster sons
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, he was so shut down
28:15He barely said two words to me that first month
28:19At Kingston, he always had this way about him
28:23This lightness
28:25Even after all he'd been through
28:30But then
28:32They started to do everything together
28:36And 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
28:50With 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 he joined the gang in prison
29:19And suddenly
29:21The two boys I saw become brothers
29:26Were turned into mortal enemies by the streets
29:30I'm sorry for how much pain this has caused you
29:33But we'd like to bring Kingston in without any more bloodshed
29:36Do you have any way of contacting him?
29:44What do you want me to say?
29:47Hey, the judge signed off on the wiretop
29:49We should be good to go in a few
29:50Great
29:51What you were saying yesterday about D.C. and needing to unclench
29:56It can't be that bad, right?
29:59Alright, maybe I've just been spoiled by L.A.
30:02I'm sure the city has a lot of great things about it
30:04But from what I saw
30:05Being a cop there just means a lot of crowd control around government offices
30:11Usually in crappy weather
30:12Snowstorms in the winter
30:14Swamp-like humidity in the summer
30:16You get two weeks of cherry blossoms a year
30:20And that's about it
30:22Also, speaking as someone who thought transferring to another department would be easy
30:26Be prepared to relearn everything you thought you knew
30:30Yeah, alright, we gotta go
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
30:55But I'll be alright
30:56I wish I could come see you
30:58Well, me too
30:59You heard about Ryder?
31:04Oh, you know
31:05Me and Ryder don't really mess with each other anymore
31:09He's dead, baby
31:10Killed
31:11Running away from what you boys did
31:15I don't know what you're talking about
31:17Kingston, please
31:19You never were a good liar
31:24You need to turn yourself in
31:27I can't
31:28You know what happened the last time I went inside
31:30I had to join the 5-4 just to make it out alive
31:32What other choice do you have?
31:34Just don't worry about me, Mama, okay?
31:36Just don't worry
31:36I got a way out
31:38Into Mexico where I can disappear
31:40Mexico?
31:41What the heck do you know about Mexico?
31:44You know, Kingston
31:45Kingston, 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
31:56We can try and help you
32:01Please
32:02He's scared
32:03Don'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
32:34So now we have to go get him
32:39If I fall for life
32:41I get that
32:57Can we talk?
32:58For sure! Come here
33:01You good?
33:06Talk to me
33:09Uh, I, I gotta, I gotta get out of town.
33:13You should, you should get that hookup with the cartel tunnels into Mexico.
33:17So, why?
33:19What happened?
33:20Unless you know the better.
33:21Just trust me on that.
33:23When you say trust me, I trust you, okay?
33:26Make a few phone calls.
33:27Look, relax.
33:28Have a drink.
33:30You know we got you.
33:50Oh, what?
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.
34:22The roll-up hoppy 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.
34:47Alright, in return, the streets gonna lure you back.
34:50And wherever you go, the far-foe follow.
34:55For life.
34:56Now you take care of this bitch.
35:17We ain't got all day.
35:24Swat's ten minutes out.
35:25You got eyes on Kingston?
35:26Yeah.
35:27But we're looking at a potential murder in progress.
35:29We can't wait.
35:34Now smoke this fool.
35:39Police!
35:40Go, go, go!
35:44Police!

36:24Stay down!
36:33Wait!
36:54Wait, wait, wait, please, please.
36:56please please please you can you can just say that you didn't see me you can say that you
37:04didn't see me trade please please get on your stomach go drop the gun
37:33the kids process ah thank you for that um look i realized this was a bit of a tough one
37:39you all
37:40right i'll be all right i know i shouldn't feel sympathy but he's just a boy look no one is
37:48saying
37:49you can't feel sympathy but at the end of the day he did make the choice to pull that trigger
37:55why don't you go home i'll take care of the paperwork yes sir thank you you bet
38:06it amazes me how one man can wreak such havoc on the entire lapd smitty is a force of nature
38:13i got a minute yeah sure what's up well bailey has been offered a pretty impressive job in dc
38:20pentagon think tank and 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 but you do know you would have to start
38:33at the
38:33very bottom again including redoing the academy i've done it before you were also five years younger
38:40yes you would get a pretty hefty signing bonus that's a perk but your annual salary would be
38:46much less than you make in la plus the cost of living in dc is just as expensive so in
38:52the long
38:52run your bonus really won't make a difference especially if bailey's only making the government
38:57salary right i'm sorry if this is not the answer you were looking for no no that's um
39:04i was just looking for the truth yeah well good luck thank you
39:12hey
39:15the lapd wouldn't be sad to see you go thank you sir
39:26guess what what we won that's great judge give you any grief about the evidence i think he was
39:34too confused by the explanation to challenge it take the win i prepared a 10 minute lecture for
39:41tomorrow's roll call to make sure no one can ever again use ignorance as an excuse when mislabeling
39:45case numbers you know you're a really good watch commander i'm figuring it out no listen no matter
39:52what kind of craziness is going on at the station you're always the center of calm and the rest of
39:57us need that i need that thank you tell you what list of things we can't trust smitty with is
40:03getting
40:04longer do you think he's doing it on purpose weaponized incompetence yeah i don't think he's that strategic
40:11you think he's doing it on purpose weaponized incompetence yeah i don't think he's doing it on purpose
40:17hey sorry i missed dinner
40:22and bedtime
40:25you should run for da
40:28are you sure
40:30because if you're not in 100% i'm in
40:32the more i thought about it the more i realized this
40:35was exactly why you joined the da's office in the first place
40:40and i'm proud you want to set that example for our children especially because every day i see
40:44firsthand the people our system has failed and inevitably the ones who suffer the most are other
40:52kids you sure you're okay waiting on a new house no but like you said real change requires sacrifice
41:03and i love this house we brought home two babies here
41:11we also made two babies here so we did
41:20no food to entice me with i see
41:22no but i have wine
41:28listen i don't want to beat around the bush i did my due diligence and i am sorry honey i
41:34don't think i can do
41:35dc it would mean starting all over again as a rookie
41:41only this time instead of being 45 i'd be 50
41:47what if i'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 and i meant it when i said it but now you still want it
42:10so what does that leave us
42:20this killer's underestimating you
42:24good they won't even see you coming
42:28what now we get him
42:37damn it
