00:11Hey.
00:11Hi, so here's what I'm thinking.
00:13It's April Fool's Day, which means nothing counts, right?
00:16April Fool's is tomorrow.
00:17It's 12.01.
00:17And if we play our cards right, we can use April Fool's Day as a hall pass.
00:22We're not actually together, but we can pretend we're together,
00:25as an April Fool's Day prank, just for today.
00:28And if anybody raises a flag, we'll say, surprise, it's an April Fool's joke,
00:33and everyone will laugh, and we can...
00:35Uh-huh.
00:37Okay, wow.
00:38I've clearly been doing April Fool's wrong my whole life,
00:41so we're not actually together, but we're making out a secret like we are together,
00:45so what's the prank?
00:45Do you want to talk about April Fool's Day, or do you want to take your pants off?
01:00Oh, you get my email?
01:02You mean the one with the subject Ben Dover case?
01:04Yeah, not the most original April Fool's joke.
01:05It's not a joke.
01:06Dover's a real defendant who demanded a speedy trial nine days ago.
01:10Peters was handling it until he landed in the hospital with a severe case of food poisoning.
01:13So you're telling me that I have to go to trial tomorrow for a murder case I've never heard of
01:16because Ron Peters ate bad paella.
01:18Uh-huh.
01:19And that's not an April Fool's joke.
01:20I hate you.
01:21I know.
01:22But this will pass, and then we'll go back to being besties.
01:24Uh, my wife's my bestie.
01:26Ugh, boring.
01:32Officer Nolan.
01:33Yeah.
01:34I'm your new rookie, Connor Craig.
01:35Oh.
01:36Nice try.
01:37Yeah, I don't, uh, I don't fall for April Fool's prank.
01:40No, sir, no.
01:41It's not a prank.
01:43I just transferred over from West Valley.
01:44I've been training with, uh, Sergeant McAdams the last whole month.
01:47Oh.
01:48Yeah, it's a good story.
01:49I would have gone with six months because nobody transfers divisions with one month left
01:53in their probation, and you should have picked a different TO.
01:56McAdams is a department legend.
01:58That makes your prank easily disprovable.
02:01Yes, sir.
02:02All valid points if I were joking.
02:06Which I'm not.
02:09He's not joking.
02:10It's a last-minute transfer, and I forgot to tell you.
02:12My bad.
02:13Mm-hmm.
02:14Mm-hmm.
02:15Mm-hmm.
02:17Do I seem like a fan of tomfoolery I've seen on?
02:19No, sir, but that could all be part of your master plan.
02:22A five-year-long con to make me believe that you're not into pulling pranks, just to bring
02:26this on me now, which seems less and less likely now that I explain it.
02:29Exactly.
02:31Rather than looking to get for what's in the mouth, you should be doing backflips.
02:35Craig's record is exemplary and spotless.
02:38All you have to do is not screw up for the next 30 days, and you will be credited for
02:42turning
02:43out a second top-notch rookie.
02:45Yes, sir.
02:46So don't screw up.
02:47He said that already.
02:48Hmm.
02:56How exactly are we pulling this prank off?
02:58Exactly like this, just sitting a little closer than we normally are.
03:06Hey, there's no chance Gray is pranking me with this rookie, is there?
03:09No.
03:10No, Gray hates pranks as much as I hate.
03:13Mediocrity?
03:14Subtitles?
03:15The designated hitter?
03:16Reasons?
03:17Are you implying I'm a hateful person?
03:19Yes.
03:20All right.
03:21Today is April Fool's Day, by far the most annoying day of the year.
03:26So with Officer Penn out for trial prep, Sergeant Bradford will be your go-to supervisor for
03:32the day.
03:32And for the news, Officer Nolan has a new rookie.
03:36Stand up, say your name and badge number.
03:40Officer Connor Craig, badge number 382610.
03:43Officer Craig trained under legendary Sergeant McAdams and earned top marks.
03:49But as we know, training isn't over until it's over.
03:52All right.
03:53Let's get to it.
03:54Be safe out there.
03:59I'm sorry.
04:00I'm nervous.
04:01My last CO didn't really let me drive much.
04:03But it's the required element of your training.
04:05Right.
04:06He did enough to evaluate me, but driving was his domain.
04:10Okay.
04:11Well, he was a legend, so I guess I'll defer to his judgment.
04:14But I still have to evaluate you fully.
04:16Of course.
04:17All right.
04:17Let's start with traffic stop procedures.
04:19Head north on La Brea.
04:21Closer we get to sunset, the more likely we are to find someone driving like a fool.
04:25Cool.
04:25That's right.
04:26No.
04:27North is left.
04:30Okay, I think I am seeing why McAdams didn't want you driving.
04:35Sorry.
04:41What?
04:42Nothing.
04:45Nothing.
04:47It's just, uh, you're glowing.
04:50I'm what?
04:51Your aura.
04:52It's...
04:53You had sex.
04:55I did not.
04:57I did not.
04:59I did not.
05:01You were going to take my phone today, though.
05:02So, thank you.
05:03Okay.
05:07What?
05:08Nothing.
05:09It's just, I noticed your hand touched Tim's at roll call.
05:12Is that how you think sex works?
05:13Uh-huh.
05:15No, but seriously, I mean you can trust me with your secret.
05:17We're roomies.
05:18No, I, I know. I know that. But seriously, nothing, nothing is going on.
05:25Okay.
05:29I mean, that's what they said. I don't get it.
05:34I'm sorry, but I can't do that.
05:36What's going on?
05:37Apparently, our social media intern posted that it was parking ticket amnesty day.
05:41Just bring in your ticket and all will be forgiven.
05:44We have a social media intern?
05:45Not for long, because I'm going to kill her.
05:47Okay.
05:49Everybody, listen up. If you are here because of the amnesty post, it's an April Fool's joke.
05:53Okay, you still have to pay your tickets. Now, the good news is you're in the right place to get
05:57that done.
06:00Really?
06:02Thanks, but a whole new line is going to start up again as long as that post is up.
06:15Are you the social media intern?
06:18If you're looking for help setting up a TikTok account, it's not my job.
06:21Definitely not. Look, social media is the worst of us.
06:23I'm here because you posted that it was parking ticket amnesty day on the LAPD account.
06:28Fire, right?
06:29No, not fire, unless it's the kind you have to put out.
06:31Who approved this?
06:32Hmm, Captain, give me a long leash to increase our social following, ergo.
06:37Ergo. You made a promise we can't keep. Look, once parking tickets are issued, they're in the system. They can't
06:42legally be waived, which means you pissed off a bunch of people who are taking it out on us.
06:46Okay, can I offer a suggestion?
06:47No.
06:47Your whole vibe needs work. Yeah, there's like an art to giving criticism. I like to start with a compliment,
06:53then gently deliver the note, and then end it with a compliment. Like a little feel-good sandwich.
06:57Delete the tweet. Now.
06:58Oh, no. No, no, no, no, no. A dirty delete will get us canceled. But I can't issue an apology
07:03statement with something cute.
07:05Fine. Get on it.
07:08Couldn't put an email.
07:09My God.
07:11Joe!
07:12Hey.
07:13Wesley! I heard you're taking over the Bendover case.
07:16Literally fell into my lap. I'm just trying to get up to speed, but I would love a continuance.
07:19Oh, I'm sure you would, but there's not a chance in hell.
07:22See, my client has a right to a speedy trial, and if you can't provide that, then you're violating his
07:26rights, and the judge will dismiss the case.
07:28Oh, right. You're smiling because you smell blood in the water, because I only have the rest of the day
07:32to make sure your client doesn't walk.
07:33What, 100 percent?
07:34Mm-hmm.
07:35See, being a public defender is a thankless, bad-paying job with few wins against a DA's office that punishes
07:41the poor and loves to rub my nose in the mud at every turn.
07:44See, your distress is a rare moment of karmic jewelry that I would have brought popcorn for had I known
07:51in advance.
07:51Mm-hmm.
07:52But, hey, you want to cut your losses and save the rest of your day, then drop the charges.
07:57I can't. It's murder. There's an eyewitness. What about a plea deal?
08:00Nope. My guy's innocent and adamant to have his day in court.
08:04Okay.
08:05See you there bright and early.
08:07I've definitely been bringing popcorn.
08:14Angela, hey.
08:17I need to ask you a favor.
08:20Thanks.
08:21Oh, I have seemed to drop my pin.
08:25Sorry. One sec.
08:26Hey, you called for backup?
08:28No. Witnesses.
08:33You are definitely being pumped.
08:35Right? There is no way this is a rookie with 12 months of training.
08:39Maybe he's just nervous about impressing you.
08:41You know, not first time training with a new deal.
08:44You are? Easy as pie.
08:46Okay, well, this is all wrong.
08:48Oh, yeah. You made that ticket out to yourself.
08:52Oh, shoot.
08:53Uh, I'm sorry.
08:56I'm a little rusty.
08:57My last T.O. wasn't into traffic enforcement.
08:59My bad. Not nerves.
09:01Good luck.
09:01But you were gonna...
09:02Gotta go!
09:06Where are you going?
09:07Oh, right.
09:09Sorry.
09:09Won't have it so hard.
09:12Seven Adam 15, I have a 415 family, 3107 Avon Street.
09:17Male and female in the verbal details to your box.
09:19Seven Adam 15, show us something.
09:23Okay, tell me you've handled domestic disputes before.
09:26I've handled domestic disputes before.
09:28Okay.
09:30But, but for reals, I haven't.
09:32Then why would you tell me?
09:33Well, you told me to tell you.
09:35But I'm excited to experience my first with you.
09:38What do I need to know?
09:40Okay.
09:41Cops like to use acronyms to remember things.
09:44And today, you're going to learn The Gambit, the G-M-B-I-T of domestic disputes.
09:57It's always a good idea just to stand to the side, just in case of potential incoming gunfire.
10:01You think he's gonna shoot at us?
10:02No, but you should do things the right way every time.
10:05That way, the moves become automatic.
10:07Knock on the door.
10:08Police! Open up!
10:13What do you want?
10:14Wait, did you call him?
10:16No, no, baby, I would, I would never.
10:20Uh, sir, we received multiple calls about a disturbance.
10:23We just wanted to make sure that everything was all right.
10:25We're fine.
10:26And you're not coming in my house without a warrant.
10:28Now, the first step in Gambit is G, get inside.
10:32Now, explain to the gentleman we don't need a warrant to investigate domestic violence
10:36and that we hate to disturb him, but by law, we can't leave until we resolve this.
10:41What if he slams the door on us?
10:43Well, then we would have to destroy the door and probably arrest him.
10:50You got two minutes.
10:57You two look so familiar.
10:59Have we met?
11:00I'm a friend of James Murray and his wife, Nyla.
11:03Teddy and I were at that fundraising gala last month.
11:05That's right.
11:06Children of the fallen.
11:07And you had a drunken altercation with Sergeant Bradford.
11:11All right.
11:11Now, we are in the house.
11:13Step two is M.
11:15Make it safe.
11:15Do you see anything unsafe?
11:20You know, someone, not you, Teddy, might use that bottle as a weapon, which would mean
11:26we would have to use force, so let's not have that.
11:35I am so sorry.
11:36He just lost his job, and it's been a really tough week.
11:39Shut your mouth.
11:40You don't have to tell everybody on our business all the time.
11:42Which brings us to B, as in be observant so that we can I investigate.
11:48Teddy has clearly had too much to drink.
11:49Anita is upset.
11:51Why don't you go talk to her and figure out what happened?
11:55No.
11:56Just go talk to her alone.
11:58Walk behind me.
12:00Stay where I can see you.
12:04Hey, don't say nothing about nothing.
12:06Cops trying to jam me up in my own house.
12:09You're new, huh?
12:11Let's talk about you.
12:12What's going on?
12:13We're here to help.
12:14He just gets drunk, then mad at the world.
12:18Everybody else did him wrong, and nothing is his fault.
12:20He's never hit me, but he scares me, and I am so tired of being scared.
12:28Well, look, we can take care of him today, but if this continues, you can always call us.
12:34We also have resources to help you if you decide when you want to get away from him.
12:40Yeah.
12:41Which brings us to T for take appropriate action.
12:44What do we have, Officer Gray?
12:45Negative 2735, but she wants him to leave.
12:49She's afraid.
12:49Well, she's just going to have to be afraid, then.
12:52It's not a crime to tie one on in my own house.
12:55I know my rights.
12:56We are simply concerned that you are a danger to yourself or to others.
13:01So you're going to have to come with us.
13:03No criminal charges.
13:04Just to see a nurse so you can sober up and cool down alone.
13:08Officer Craig, search Teddy for weapons and escort him to the shop.
13:12Hey, don't touch me.
13:13I'll pay your salary.
13:17That changes.
13:19With the taking action part of it, now there will be criminal charges.
13:25And that is the gambit of handling a domestic disturbance.
13:31I don't understand.
13:32On paper, the kid's a rock star trainee.
13:35All his daily observation reports are signed off.
13:38Craig's checklist is practically complete.
13:40Yes, sir.
13:41And yet there are significant holes in his training.
13:44His officer's safety and his perception of danger are nonexistent.
13:48He struggled with a basic traffic citation.
13:50I find that hard to believe.
13:52McAdams is a highly respected FTO.
13:55I know, but I am telling you, sir, there is no way Officer Craig is going to be ready in
13:59a month.
13:59Hell, he...
14:01He may not even make it to the end of the day.
14:04So what do you want me to do?
14:06Um...
14:07It's ultimately your call.
14:08But I would think carefully before bouncing him.
14:11You trained a stellar first rookie.
14:13But if you're handed an LAPD Legends trainee and he fails in a week,
14:18the captain might think the problem is you.
14:22Understood.
14:25And you're sure this isn't a prank?
14:27No, I'm...
14:28Sorry.
14:30But if it was...
14:33I'm on it.
14:35Why are we here?
14:36Instead of the bend-over lead investigator.
14:39I left two messages for Detective Berman that he has not returned,
14:41and I do not have time to wait.
14:43I have to decide by tonight whether I am going to trial or dropping charges.
14:45But as a thank you, I'm ordering lunch in from Red Public.
14:47Oh, well, you should have led with that.
14:49As you can see from the file, our victim, Frank Horbolt,
14:52was killed in the parking garage of his office building.
14:54Now, the eyewitness, a maintenance worker,
14:56claims to have seen Ben Dover following Horbolt out of the elevator
14:59and returning alone five minutes later
15:01and dropping something into a garbage can.
15:03The police later found the murder weapon in that same trash can.
15:06Is there a relationship between Dover and the victim?
15:09No, they work in the same building, but no direct contact.
15:11So your whole case basically rests on the believability of your witness?
15:15Yep.
15:16She's in there waiting to talk to us.
15:18Come on.
15:21Hey.
15:24Um, I-I was told that I wouldn't have to testify.
15:30Told by who?
15:31Detective Berman.
15:32He said that, um, the killer would take a plea deal.
15:34No sweat.
15:35Why are you nervous about testifying?
15:37I'm not.
15:38I'm just-Berman said that we-
15:40Okay, forget about what Berman said.
15:41Let's talk about your testimony.
15:42You said that you saw Ben Dover follow Frank Horbolt into the garage.
15:47There were a few minutes between them, but Berman said that-
15:50Hold on.
15:51Did Detective Berman coach you on what to say in your testimony?
15:54No.
15:55No, no.
15:56It's just he, um, defined coach.
16:00Okay.
16:01You know what?
16:01Just, um, let's give us a couple minutes.
16:03Okay.
16:08You should drop the case.
16:10She'll get killed in a cross-examination.
16:11Okay, but is she lying, or did Berman just shape her testimony to be more definitive?
16:15Neither is good.
16:17Will you talk to Berman?
16:19Forget it.
16:20Look, if I do it, he's gonna shut down, and I don't have time to pressure him.
16:22I have to make a decision in a couple hours.
16:24I need to know if this case is winnable.
16:26We'll do it for a price.
16:28A spa weekend for me and my partner.
16:30And when you say my partner, you mean my wife.
16:33Unless she thinks that we should give her husband a freebie.
16:36Oh, hell no.
16:37Two-bedroom suite at Malibu Beach Resort while all the men watch the children.
16:43Okay.
16:49I don't understand.
16:51Am I in trouble?
16:52No, I just need to speak to your old training officer about some deficits in your training.
16:56Hi.
16:57I'm looking for Sergeant McAdams.
16:58His station says he's here taking some statements.
17:00He's in the ER.
17:01I memorized the Rook book.
17:02Go ahead.
17:03Ask me anything.
17:04Yeah, it's not about the rule book.
17:06It's about a failure to translate words into actions.
17:11There he is.
17:13All right.
17:13Just stay here.
17:14Okay?
17:15Say hi for me.
17:16All right.
17:20Sergeant McAdams.
17:21Yeah.
17:22Uh, John Nolan from the Mid-Wilshire Station.
17:25Okay.
17:26I was hoping to ask you a few questions about your old rookie, Connor Craig.
17:29You as an ATL?
17:30I am, and I've noticed some gaps in his training.
17:35You heard it caused trouble?
17:36No, sir.
17:37No, I'm just, I'm looking for some clarity.
17:40I mean, you are a legend in the department, and this kid spent a year with you, but he
17:45has no practical understanding of the job.
17:54Look, I was supposed to retire last year.
17:57Stayed on as a favor to my captain.
17:58Craig shows up.
17:59He's got no instincts, no fire, no command presence.
18:02Why not just bounce on him?
18:03And go out on a loser?
18:04Finish my career on a fail?
18:06No way.
18:07So I carried him.
18:08Only took low-impact calls.
18:10I got the seniority to pull it off, so.
18:12Only you did chicken out in the end.
18:13You forced the transfer so that you wouldn't be the one who put an untrained cop onto the
18:17street.
18:20You got no right to judge me.
18:23Actually, I do.
18:24Because I'm the cop who could have been killed today on a domestic, because the kid you sent
18:29me doesn't know enough to have my back.
18:38Did you say hi back?
18:42Are you going to bounce me?
18:44Honestly, I should.
18:46Instead, I'm going to give you the rest of the day to prove that you are worth the risk.
18:51Do not make me regret it.
18:54Okay.
19:01Come on.
19:02Knock it off!
19:05It isn't right.
19:06You have to let us go.
19:08What's going on?
19:09He's not honoring our get-out-of-jail-free cards.
19:12That's not a thing.
19:13Then why is it on the LAPD's social media account?
19:16What?
19:30What the hell were you thinking?
19:32Raising your voice in the workplace is a sign of weakness, not strength.
19:35You posted get-out-of-jail-free cards.
19:37Oh, I couldn't just delete the parking ticket tweet.
19:39I mean, that's scream scandal.
19:41So, I retracted it with something that is clearly a joke.
19:44Not to the growing number of criminals and holding demanding we release them.
19:47This is not funny.
19:48No, how dumb people are is always funny.
19:50It's clear on the post it's an April Fool's joke.
19:53See?
19:53It says, April Fool's, this is not redeemable.
19:55In tiny print, no one can read.
19:58Okay, Boomer, go find your glasses.
19:59I'm sorry, Boomer?
20:00This is not my fault.
20:01Those Delulus didn't even scan the QR code.
20:04If they had, they would have seen this.
20:07Okay, you know what?
20:08Your reckless behavior has cost us department time and resources.
20:11And the fact that you keep making excuses lets me know that you don't see why that's a problem.
20:14You're fired.
20:15You can't fire me.
20:16I'm a civilian employee.
20:17You're right.
20:18You've been fired by the Office of Support Services.
20:20And they were happy to let me be the one to tell you.
20:22So, pack up your stuff and be grateful you're not leaving this room in handcuffs.
20:27You don't have to be so mean about it.
20:33Hey!
20:33Hey, what the hell are you guys up to?
20:36Let me guess.
20:36You must be Berman.
20:37Oh, like you don't know.
20:38Look, we get why you're not happy, but the DA's office had us assigned to this case when they couldn't
20:42get into contact with you.
20:44Yeah, well, that's not how things work, and you know it.
20:46What, do you think I don't know who your husband is?
20:47Okay, why don't you just take a deep breath before you say something you're gonna regret?
20:51Why don't you go screw yourself?
20:53Okay, that's enough of that.
20:55We didn't set out to jam you up, but we've been inside your case for five minutes, and it's a
20:59hot mess.
20:59So we're gonna go inside and talk to the victim's widow and try to get some clarity.
21:04We were gonna invite you, but now you can go screw yourself.
21:09Is the widow really inside waiting to talk to us?
21:12No, I just wanted to see his face when I said it, and he looked panicked.
21:15The question is why?
21:23I'm sorry, okay?
21:24It took longer than I thought to get you bailed out.
21:26I would have never been in there in the first place if you hadn't sold me out.
21:29Baby, please, I didn't sell you out.
21:32I just...
21:33Sometimes you can get a little scary.
21:35Get over it.
21:37You are so weak.
21:40Give me the damn keys.
21:44Today.
21:49And she bailed him out.
21:51How many times do I have to tell you about this damn seat?
21:54Why would she do that?
21:55People in abusive relationships often do things that are against their best interests.
22:00He looks more angry than when we arrested him.
22:02What should we do?
22:04You gave her that card for victim resources, right?
22:06You told her she could call them or us at any point?
22:09Yeah.
22:10Yeah, I even circled the ones Sergeant McAdams said we're the best.
22:13The best we can hope for is that she uses one of them.
22:17People are going to make their own choices.
22:20We're here for when they make bad ones.
22:31Wow, we never even did this when we were actually together.
22:34Well, that's because we didn't have a deadline.
22:35Okay, well, midnight, right?
22:37Yes, please.
22:38Do you think it's been long enough?
22:40I think a little longer.
22:46We should really get back to work and do things.
22:50Things?
22:51Yes, things like crime.
22:52We need to stop crime.
22:53Okay.
22:54Do you insist?
22:55I do.
22:55I do insist.
22:57It's your shirt.
23:00Hi.
23:01Hi.
23:02Hey.
23:04Uh, we should get back out there.
23:06Yeah.
23:06I mean, unless you and Tim need to discuss something in private.
23:09No, I think we covered everything.
23:11Yeah.
23:11Okay, ladies.
23:15Uh-oh.
23:17What?
23:19A social media intern I just fired posted this.
23:22City of Los Angeles, for the next three hours, all crime is legal.
23:25Go nuts and don't call us.
23:27Peace sign.
23:28Emoji wearing sunglasses.
23:29Peace sign.
23:32Here we go.
23:35Libby posted the purge alerts across all social media platforms before changing the passwords,
23:40and we can't take them down until IT hacks into the accounts.
23:42Which could take hours.
23:43I mean, people have to know this is a joke.
23:45Most people will see it that way, but there are plenty that won't.
23:48911's already getting swamped with calls.
23:50Looting, robberies, and a host of assaults.
23:52All right.
23:53We're on citywide tactical alert with mandatory holdover until further notice.
23:57In progress crime against persons are priority one.
24:01Refer all property crimes to online reporting.
24:0410-7 reporting will be held until end of shift.
24:07How bad is this going to be?
24:09Pretty bad.
24:10The police told me I could do it on the internet.
24:12It's not going to stand up in court.
24:13But there will be lawsuits, especially from the crime victims who claim that their injuries
24:16were caused by the LAPD posting this.
24:19Bottom line is this.
24:19Make sure your arrests have all the criminal elements, your evidence is solid, and your
24:23reports are spotless.
24:25Okay.
24:25Everyone's ten-eight.
24:26Be safe out there.
24:31I'm going to leave you here at the station.
24:33What?
24:33No.
24:34Officer Craig, you remain a wild card with serious officer safety issues.
24:40I can't go face whatever craziness is about to jump off while I have to be worried about
24:44you.
24:45Well, with all due respect, sir, that's your job as a training officer.
24:49I didn't realize that I wasn't being fully trained before, and that's on me.
24:53But you said we'd spend the rest of the shift evaluating me, and what better way to do that
24:56than when the pressure's on?
24:58Otherwise, you're no better than McAdams.
25:02I'm sorry.
25:03That last part was way over the line, but I stand by the rest.
25:11All right.
25:11You're in.
25:13I won't let you down.
25:14It's not me I'd be worried about.
25:15My wife is a ninja warrior assassin.
25:17If she ends up a widow because of you, there won't be enough left of you to fit into a
25:20bucket.
25:22Not a joke.
25:23Get over here!
25:24Come on!
25:27Get over here!
25:27Get over here!
25:28Get over here!
25:31Get over here!
25:33Get over here!
25:34Get over here!
25:35Get over here!
25:35Get over here!
25:37Get over here!
25:38Get over here!
25:39Get over here!
25:40Get over here!
25:41Get over here!
25:41Must have been going 90 miles an hour.
25:43Should we go after him?
25:44Negative.
25:45Gray wants us focused on crimes against persons.
25:47We can get his license plate from the dash cam later.
25:497 Adam 15, multiple callers report shots fired in the alley 3100 block Avon Street.
25:55Hospital 1054 Lane by the vehicle.
25:57Adam 15.
25:58That's right.
25:597 Adam 15 copies.
26:01Code 3.
26:02Avon Street.
26:03Does that sound familiar to you?
26:05Yeah.
26:06Teddy and Anita live on Avon Street.
26:16Someone broke all the street lights.
26:19No!
26:21No!
26:40It's a drive-by.
26:42Robbery, maybe?
26:45Oh, they would have stolen his watch.
26:49Did Anita do this?
26:50We gotta find her.
26:52I'm gonna go check the house.
26:53You stay here with the crime scene.
26:55Get crime scene tape, block off that end of the alley.
26:57Use our shop to block off the other end.
26:59Get the good camera from the evidence kit,
27:00take a picture of everything,
27:01even if it doesn't look important.
27:08You got this.
27:14Anita, LAPD.
27:17Anita, please come to the door.
27:19Hello?
27:20Hi.
27:21What's going on?
27:23Anita, LAPD.
27:24I'm Officer Nolan.
27:25You remember me?
27:26Do you know where Teddy is?
27:27No, he dropped me off, then went out.
27:31Probably to a bar.
27:33But he's supposed to be back by now.
27:37He didn't call.
27:38Have you been drinking?
27:39I had some bourbon.
27:41It's been a long day.
27:42I got scared.
27:43I'm always scared.
27:45The blues helped me relax.
27:47But now I'm getting worried about Teddy.
27:49Is everything okay?
27:51No.
27:52No, I'm afraid it's not.
27:54I'm gonna need you to come with me.
27:59Come on.
28:01Okay, um, just hold on right here.
28:05All right, just sit tight and I'll go get you a blanket.
28:09Yeah, but where's my husband?
28:10You still haven't told me what's going on.
28:12Just sit and hold tight.
28:15Hey, you're not gonna believe this.
28:17You turned the shop around.
28:18Yeah, you don't know why?
28:19The victim's driver's seat.
28:21And an empty glass, but mostly the driver's seat.
28:23What about it?
28:24Well, it was moved all the way forward.
28:26Teddy's a giant.
28:26We saw him moving the seat back at the station, which means whoever put the car into position
28:29was short.
28:31Like Anita short.
28:32She staged it.
28:34Nice work.
28:34Let's hope for you, yes.
28:36And if she's a suspect, that means the house is also a crime scene, so I turned the car
28:39around in case you wanted to put her inside so she wouldn't have to see her husband.
28:42Right.
28:42The body.
28:43Right.
28:43I mean, the victim.
28:44I mean, Teddy.
28:45I'm impressed.
28:46What about the glass?
28:47Sitting on the ledge.
28:48It's got traces of bourbon in it.
28:50I took pictures.
28:51You didn't bag it for evidence?
28:52No, I wasn't sure if you wanted to.
28:58Should we be worried?
28:59Yes.
29:01Oh my God!
29:02They killed Teddy!
29:04Anita, I need you to get into the shop.
29:06That's for your safety, okay?
29:08Hey, officers!
29:10Ain't y'all supposed to be in hiding?
29:12Tonight's our night.
29:13We're taking that car.
29:14You can't have it, son.
29:16This is a crime scene.
29:18That car is evidence.
29:20Whole city a crime scene.
29:21What you gonna do?
29:22Shoot us?
29:23Let them have the car.
29:25You have to protect me.
29:27Get into the shop.
29:31Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa.
29:33Let her go.
29:33We'll catch up with her later.
29:34We need to protect the scene.
29:35But she's a killer.
29:36And if we don't have any evidence, she could get away with it.
29:53Easy.
29:53Easy, officer.
29:55Hold your nerve.
29:56Do you see any weapons?
29:59No.
29:59Then get your baton out.
30:01We don't see weapons.
30:02We don't use deadly force.
30:03Control, 7 Adam 15.
30:05I'm being advanced on by a crowd.
30:07I could use some backup code 3.
30:09Adam 15, no units, 10A.
30:11CHP en route.
30:12D.P. 12 minutes.
30:14Sounds like you on your own, boys.
30:17I'm gonna give you a chance to get out of here.
30:19Leave us the vehicle.
30:22No.
30:23I'm gonna make you the same offer.
30:25Last chance to run away.
30:27Anyone starts trouble, they wake up in the hospital.
30:38You're really gonna fight all these guys?
30:40You've got gloves.
30:41You're gonna grab that glass and you're gonna run.
30:43We're gonna circle back here to the shop after they've gone.
30:46You ready?
30:46Huh?
30:47On three.
30:48One, two, three.
30:52Go!

31:23There are people with guns inside the clerk's office and someone just got shot right in front
31:27of me.
31:27He's dead.

35:16Ah!
35:17Ah!
35:21Ah!
35:23Ah!
35:25Ah!
35:30You can get a case dismissed.
35:34Okay, go.
35:36You can get a case dismissed, and you're dismissed.
35:39You've got a case dismissed.
35:40I feel like you've got a case dismissed.
35:42You've got a case dismissed, and...
35:44Please, show me your hands.
35:46Did a man drag a woman through here?
35:48There.
35:49SWAT is coming through here.
35:50They are heavily armed.
35:51If I were you, I would restrain myself and sit down.
36:17Look out!
36:23You okay?
36:24Yeah.
36:32Come here, get up.
36:33Wait, what are you doing?
36:35Arresting you.
36:36But I was held hostage.
36:37Doesn't that count for something?
36:38You're at the clerk's office, found in a wrongful termination lawsuit against the LAPD
36:42after instigating mass violence on the job.
36:43You're not the victim here.
36:45You caused all this.
37:06I'm sorry.
37:08So what?
37:09I got no feel-good sandwich here for you, Libby.
37:11People are dead because of your recklessness.
37:13You're lucky you're not one of them.
37:14I-I really didn't think that anyone was going to take this seriously.
37:18I-I'm so sorry.
37:20Got the arrest warrant for Detective Berman.
37:23Detective who?
37:23Berman from West Hollywood.
37:25Turns out Berman is having an affair with the wife of our murder victim.
37:28Berman killed his competition and blackmailed a witness to frame Ben Dover for his crime.
37:33Ben Dover?
37:34Yes, sir.
37:35Dover is a real person with an unfortunate name.
37:38I hate April Fool's Day.
37:40See, if you need backup for the arrest, you're going to have to wait.
37:42Oh, I had the arrest come to the backup, sir.
37:44I had Berman's captain call him down here to assist with the scene.
37:48Smart.
37:48Yeah, I'd try.
37:51Hello.
37:52It's me.
37:53Where are you?
37:54Downtown, just landing at a crime scene.
37:56It's set up.
37:56An arrest warrant with your name on it just came across my desk.
37:59They're about to put you in cuffs, dude.
38:01I never called you.
38:09What's he doing?
38:10I don't know.
38:10Trying out for mime school?
38:12The call was a tip-on.
38:15Berman!
38:15Show me your hands!
38:24Hands, now!
38:32Then Officer Craig noticed a glass at the scene, still wet with alcoholic beverage.
38:36He photographed it where he found it.
38:37Before, a group of rioters took over your crime scene and destroyed yet another shop.
38:43The dissipation rate of alcohol and Anita's fingerprints on the glass placed her at the scene near the time of
38:49the murder.
38:50We believe that she was lying in wait for him to come home and then confronted him outside the vehicle
38:54and shot him multiple times.
38:56Hoping that we would pin the murder on the Purge.
38:59I understand you also had your first tactical retreat.
39:02Is that what cops call running away?
39:03Yeah, it just sounds cooler when you say it that way.
39:05Ah, yeah.
39:06Then, yes, sir.
39:07After some time, we circled back and the crowd had moved on.
39:10But not before damaging our shop, stealing Teddy's watch and wallet, and posting selfies with the corpse.
39:17Which means it'll be easier to identify and the rest.
39:20Nice to see people's stupidity works in our favor this time.
39:24Ah, good news.
39:25Rampart just picked up Anita at Union Station trying to get on a train to Flagstaff.
39:29They're bringing her in now.
39:30All right.
39:31So, Officer Craig, after everything you've seen tonight, this career is still something you want to pursue?
39:37Oh, yes, sir.
39:39This career is everything I've ever dreamed about.
39:42A lot of my friends thought I was crazy for joining the Academy, but, um, you know, I believe helping
39:47people is my calling.
39:48And if you can find it in your heart to give me a proper chance, I promise you won't regret
39:53it.
39:56All right.
39:57I will endorse your continuation in the FTO program.
40:01But I will have to reassign you to a different, much quieter division to make sure you have the best
40:07opportunity to succeed.
40:09Yes, sir.
40:10Thank you, sir.
40:11You're welcome.
40:12All right.
40:12Dismissed.
40:18Thank you for giving me a second chance.
40:21Connery, you stepped up when it mattered.
40:23And I know you are transferring out, but, uh, I'm always here as a resource.
40:28Just, you know, be chill about it.
40:29I will.
40:31Later.
40:34Hey.
40:35Hey.
40:35Things got interesting out there with your rookie.
40:37A little fighting, a little, uh, tactical retreating, a little murder assault.
40:41Not bad for my first purge.
40:42Don't even joke about that.
40:43Bradford, Chin, in here.
40:47See you tomorrow.
40:49Hopefully.
40:50It's come to my attention that you two are back in a romantic relationship when you both know it's against
40:55the rules.
40:56He's your supervisor, for God's sakes.
40:58Yes, sir.
40:59But, um, look, we've been trying to fight the feeling for a long time.
41:04April Fool's.
41:05April Fool's.
41:11Are you okay?
41:11Sir, what's going on?
41:13Oh, my God.
41:13Sir?
41:13Are you having a heart attack?
41:14Whoa.
41:15Oh, my God.
41:15Call, call.
41:16Are you all right?
41:17Sit back.
41:17Oh, my God.
41:22Gotcha.
41:25I thought you hated pranks.
41:27I do.
41:30But to wipe the smug look off your faces, it was worth joining in this one time.
41:37Yes.
41:38We deserve that.
41:39But you nearly scared me half to death.
41:41Good.
41:42Good, good, good.
41:43Remember that next time you think about trying to fool me.
41:46Now go.
41:49Have a good night.
41:51Happy?
41:52Thrilled.
41:53I mean, that worked out perfectly.
