00:07You didn't nap, did you?
00:09I didn't have time.
00:10I gotta find a new place to live.
00:12No excuse, boot.
00:14Napping is the key to midnight shift.
00:16It was shorter than 20 minutes or longer than 40.
00:18But hey, if you're comfortable ignoring my institutional wisdom...
00:21I'm getting evicted.
00:22Whose fault is that?
00:23Not mine.
00:25I'm turning my building into condos.
00:27That's what happens when you gentrify a working-class neighborhood?
00:40What the hell is that?
00:41What?
00:43That.
00:50There was a guy standing there with a mask on.
00:52He was like seven feet tall.
00:54Mm-hmm.
00:56I saw him.
00:58He was right there.
01:00Boat, if you make me get out of this car for hallucination...
01:18What?
01:23He was right here.
01:26Make-believe time is over.
01:41Stop!
01:42Police!
01:57Tim?
01:59No.
02:01No.
02:09Thanks.
02:12Tim?
02:12Step out.
02:16Step out!
02:22Hands where I can see them.
02:26Peel the mask off slowly.
02:29Slowly.
02:39Welcome to Midnight, Officer Jen.
02:49No.
02:50No!
03:02Hey, happy to be back on days?
03:05God, yes.
03:06I don't know if you heard, but it was good.
03:09Tim had sure it's made.
03:10Of course he did.
03:12Well, you know, just wait until it's your turn,
03:15Officer in bed by 10.
03:16What can I say?
03:17I'm a morning person.
03:18Mm-hmm.
03:22Good morning.
03:23You're here bright and early.
03:24If you're not early, you're late.
03:25That's a stupid sign.
03:27What's your problem?
03:28Bad.
03:28I'll roll my name, too.
03:30It's not the T-shirt, although it is annoying.
03:32I can't find a place to live.
03:34You could always move back home.
03:35No, I really can't.
03:36Or you can bunk up with Nolan.
03:38He lives in a mansion.
03:38It's not a mansion.
03:39It's a guest house of a mansion.
03:42But you're welcome to crash on the couch if you need to.
03:45Yeah, thanks.
03:46But I am determined to find a nice, clean, affordable place to live,
03:49even if it kills me.
03:52It's not a mansion.
04:01I don't know, Officer Nolan.
04:03You will be leading roll call this morning.
04:07Sir?
04:08I didn't stutter.
04:09Get up there.
04:19What now?
04:21The clipboard.
04:23A memo to all divisions from the chief of police.
04:27Complaints about police officer entitlement have risen sharply during the last few months.
04:32Sir?
04:33Do you know what that means?
04:34Police officer entitlement.
04:36I assume it has to do with unauthorized perks, free food, things of that nature.
04:41And what is LAPD's policy on gratuities?
04:47No officer shall receive any gratuity, gift, favor, or promise thereof as it may result in
04:53or be perceived as payment in exchange for influence, bias, or direction of an investigation
04:59or enforcement of punishable offenses.
05:02Nicely done.
05:04Chen West.
05:06Will you please join, Officer Nolan, up front?
05:15Have your training officers discussed this policy with you?
05:18Yes, sir.
05:19And what was your takeaway?
05:20Sir, if I may?
05:22Oh.
05:23Sounds like a little CYA.
05:24No, sir.
05:26Boot and I walked straight and narrow.
05:27But businesses like having cops around.
05:29Half-price mail every once in a while is just community relations.
05:33Doesn't mean we show them favoritism.
05:34You agree with this, Officer Bisher?
05:36I'm not saying I've never accepted a free cup of coffee, but it's usually the exception,
05:41not the norm.
05:42What about you, Officer Nolan?
05:44I got into this job to help people, not to help myself, to free stuff.
05:49Cute line.
05:50It's a bunch of bull, but...
05:52It's not.
05:53Really?
05:54Do you pay fair market value for that beach house you live in?
05:58No, sir, but I act as caretaker for the main house when Ben is away, so technically I'm exchanging
06:03services for my rent.
06:04And what happens when that exchange isn't enough, and your buddy gets a ticket or worse?
06:10Then he'll have to pay for his actions.
06:12Okay.
06:14Favors are a slippery slope, people.
06:15So are freebies.
06:17Look, I like to keep it real in here.
06:20There is the letter of the law, and there is the spirit.
06:23It is your job to know the difference.
06:26But make no mistake, as police officers, you have power.
06:32Usually we like to focus on the kind that you holster on your side, but the power that
06:37lives within your badge can be equally as dangerous.
06:41That's it.
06:43All right, guys, be safe out there.
06:47Seven Adam 19, break in at Westside Fertility Clinic.
06:50We haven't received a single freebie since I've been with you, so why did you defend that
06:54to Gray?
06:55Because hard rules like that are stupid.
06:57What we do doesn't exist in a vacuum.
06:59Circumstances dictate actions, not the other way around.
07:02Police?
07:04Anyone here?
07:05Yes.
07:06We had a break-in.
07:08I can see that.
07:09There's been a rash of burglaries in the neighborhood recently.
07:12Mostly addicts looking for stuff to sell.
07:14This wasn't an addict.
07:15They took embryos.
07:17That's a new one on me.
07:18Do I write this up as a burglary or an abduction?
07:22You want to put out 50 amber alerts?
07:23It's a burglary.
07:25Officer, there's a crucial time element here.
07:28Without proper temperature control, those embryos will be compromised.
07:31Any idea who took them?
07:32They're part of an ugly custody dispute.
07:35A lesbian couple.
07:36The eggs we harvested were from only one of the women, Marilyn Tinney.
07:40Her ex is suing for custody rights, even though she doesn't have a biological connection.
07:45Okay.
07:45We're going to need names and addresses for both women.
07:47Of course.
07:48But you should know, when I called Marilyn to tell her, she got very upset.
07:53Said she was going to kill her.
07:59License and registration, please.
08:00Look, I don't have time for this.
08:01Look, no one does, but you blew through that stop sign.
08:03Because Prince Charles is going to die.
08:06Excuse me?
08:07My dog.
08:08He's a King Charles Cavalier, and he just ate a whole bag of macadamia nuts.
08:11Look, I'm sorry, but I still have to write you.
08:13You're kidding.
08:14I'm racing him to the vet.
08:15They have to pump his stomach.
08:16Those nuts are toxic for dogs.
08:18Look, I understand, but this will only take a minute.
08:19License and registration, please.
08:24If he dies.
08:30Hope your dog's okay.
08:31Have a nice day.
08:33Go to hell.
08:39Do you think a ticket was the best resolution, Officer West?
08:42You heard Sergeant Gray this morning?
08:44We have to remain vigilant.
08:46If we let everyone who's in a rush off the hook, the city would be undriveable.
08:49Her dog is dying.
08:50A warning would have been sufficient.
08:51Okay, a dog that size would have to eat a pound of nuts to induce ataxia.
08:55She drove through the stop sign in the school zone.
08:57It's a pretty serious infraction.
08:58We blow stop signs all the time, and park on lawns, and drive on the wrong side of the road.
09:02Okay, that's different.
09:03We're cops.
09:04We only do it when necessary.
09:05Exactly.
09:06Discretion is an important part of this job, even if the outcome is different than following
09:09the letter of the law.
09:10With all due respect, I was raised differently.
09:13Law is a law.
09:16I can't believe it, but those are mine!
09:18They are not yours!
09:19They're mine!
09:19Give them to me!
09:20Give them to me!
09:21Not right now!
09:21Don't stare at me again!
09:23Listen, I said give them to me!
09:24I'll break you!
09:25LAPD, we're coming in.
09:26Give them to me.
09:26They're mine too!
09:28Hey, put down the weapon.
09:29Those are my embryos.
09:30She stole them from the clinic.
09:32No!
09:32They are your eggs, and we had them fertilized by a sperm donor together, you remember?
09:36Yeah.
09:37And the judge ruled that I get to use them.
09:39Do you remember that?
09:39Not if they're gone!
09:41Officer Chet, secure her.
09:43Yeah.
09:44Give me the tubes.
09:46No.
09:46No, please.
09:50Those are my last chance to carry my own baby.
09:54Please.
09:56Don't take that from me.
09:59Please.
10:01We're supposed to have kids together.
10:05I saw you through your whole cancer treatment, and then you dumped me for a yoga instructor?
10:11Wait, wait, wait.
10:12Hey.
10:13Listen to me.
10:14You're angry.
10:16You have every right to be.
10:18But doing this, it won't put your marriage back together.
10:22Okay?
10:23Nothing will.
10:26But you will come to hate yourself if you go through with this.
10:29So put the tubes back in that container.
10:44Seven Adam 15 response to single car accident, 4th Street overpass.
10:48You think I'm compromised living at Ben's house?
10:50Probably.
10:51You asked.
10:52Yeah, but I meant what I said to Sergeant Gray.
10:55If he asked me for a favor, I'd say no.
10:56Why even put yourself in that position?
10:58If it were me, I'd have to pay my own way.
11:01Like a grown-up.
11:03Driver okay?
11:04He's been stabbed.
11:05Left side.
11:05Looks like he passed out, then hit his head in the crash.
11:07Any ID?
11:08Not bad.
11:09I can find.
11:09Control, I need you to run the following plates.
11:115 Frank Victor Alpha 2-7.
11:14Call register to Matthew Rodriguez.
11:16Date of birth, 7-7-1990.
11:19Copy that.
11:19Send another unit to our location for an accident report.
11:22It appears Mr. Rodriguez has been the victim of an assault.
11:24We're accompanying R.A. to the hospital.
11:26We'll follow you.
11:27Got it.
11:28That guy didn't get stabbed driving alone,
11:30so either it happened before he got in the car
11:32or his attacker bolted after the accident.
11:37I've got to admit, I thought there'd be more mysteries on this job.
11:40We'll be happy there aren't.
11:41The unknown is a pain in the butt.
11:43Sure, but still, every once in a while, you want a puzzle to solve.
11:51Instead of that, I'm 15.
11:52Suspect, the victim, on foot, force,
11:55Caesar Chavez, southbound.
12:05Okay.
12:06Now I really want to know what happened.
12:14So our vehicle is registered to Matthew Rodriguez,
12:17but our stabbing victim is not Matthew Rodriguez.
12:20Hmm.
12:21Looks like Mr. Rodriguez has a rap sheet with gang orders.
12:24You know what those are?
12:26It means a judge ordered him not to associate with gang members,
12:28wear their colors, or go to their neighborhood.
12:30Odds are a guy like that is connected to our John Doe stabbing.
12:33I thought officers were supposed to avoid making assumptions.
12:36There's a big difference between making an assumption and a likely scenario.
12:39It would just...
12:40Oh, let me guess.
12:41When it comes from you, it's a likely scenario.
12:43There's hope for you yet, Officer Nolan.
12:45Now let's pay Mr. Rodriguez a visit
12:48and see if he can shine some light on our stabbing victim.
12:51707, respond to a false imprisonment call, 974 Ocampo Street.
12:55Hi, are you the manager?
12:56Yes, hi.
12:57Sir, we received a call that one of your customers
12:59is being held against their will.
13:01He's not a customer, he's a scam artist.
13:03Excuse me?
13:03This guy sets up first dates with women,
13:06runs up the bill, and then sneaks out the back door.
13:08He's been doing it at restaurants all over the neighborhood.
13:10He tried to do it to that poor woman over there,
13:12but one of our kitchen staff caught him
13:13and locked his ass in the walking fridge.
13:16Give us a minute.
13:22Seems like you're having a pretty bad day.
13:25Tinder is like the clearance rack at an outlet store.
13:27Dating gaps are all bad.
13:28He ordered a $500 bottle of wine for lunch
13:31and then the charcuterie board
13:34and the cheese plate
13:35and that steak au poivre
13:37and the bill is $680.
13:41I don't know how I'm going to cover my rent this month.
13:44Did you already order dessert?
13:46No.
13:47Go ahead and get something.
13:49Maybe two things.
13:50Why?
13:52Look, I know what you're doing.
13:54She bumps up the bill to $700.
13:56We can charge her date with a felony.
13:57Very good, Officer West.
13:58It's not our job to put our thumb on the scale
14:00and change the outcome here.
14:01Are you lecturing me on police work, boo?
14:04No, but it's still...
14:05But nothing.
14:06Go hook up our Dine and Dasher.
14:12Definitely get the creme brulee.
14:15The best creme brulee in the city.
14:19Seriously?
14:20You're totally fine with this.
14:21Susan isn't stuck paying the bill
14:23since the owners can write it off as theft.
14:25The only person paying for the crime
14:26is this jerk who committed it.
14:28That's the spirit of the law.
14:30Now, take a bite.
14:31No, I don't want it.
14:32Come on, get off your high horse and try a little.
14:34No, no, I think it's...
14:37Just a little bite.
14:43Wow.
14:44Mm-hmm, told you.
14:47Matthew Rodriguez, police, open up.
14:50Nolan.
14:53Ready?
14:53Mm-hmm.
15:00Well, I guess now we know who stamped our John Doe.
15:03You sound disappointed.
15:04No, I just thought it might be a little less...
15:07cut and dry.
15:08Well, believe me, cut and dry is a lot less paperwork.
15:10Seven item 15 need a homicide unit
15:12at 4495 Barrington.
15:14Our John Doe is now a murder suspect.
15:22You're not done yet?
15:24At this stage in training,
15:25you should have knocked that out in two minutes.
15:26What's the problem?
15:27I'm not sure how to write it.
15:30It's a simple grand theft report.
15:32It's not simple.
15:33Or we made that case a felony.
15:35Something that should have been a citation.
15:37We turned it to a weekend in jail.
15:39And you wouldn't be able to lie on the report.
15:42I seem to remember writing a report about you.
15:46Second day on the job.
15:48And the truth about your cowardice
15:49in the line of fire.
15:51Ringing a bell?
15:53Yeah.
15:55And I'm grateful.
15:56You know that.
15:57But I'm not...
15:57But what, boot?
15:59More than any other rookie,
16:00you should know the difference
16:01between the spirit and the letter.
16:03Unless you don't think it applies to you.
16:06Are you the exception, Officer West?
16:08No, ma'am.
16:09Yeah, here you are, acting holier than thou.
16:12Tell me something.
16:13Do you carry a push knife?
16:16One of those fight for your life,
16:17last resort, do or die kind of knives.
16:19You know that I do.
16:21I mean, my dad gave it to me.
16:23Oh, right.
16:25Your father, who all but walks in water.
16:28Only this knife is illegal.
16:30Yeah, right.
16:30I mean, half the department carry these.
16:32Penal code section 12020.
16:34The very bottom.
16:36Technically, it's a dagger.
16:38Look it up if you don't believe me.
16:42Look, if it's true,
16:43then I just won't carry one anymore.
16:46That is the wrong lesson to learn here.
16:49You're in for a hard fall
16:50if you can't see the difference
16:51between righteous and rigid.
16:53And if that wasn't the first thing
16:55your father taught you,
16:56he failed you.
17:00Now, fill out the damn report.
17:01We've got to get back out there.
17:05It doesn't seem right to lock up Marilyn, too.
17:08She was only trying to protect her embryos.
17:09Nothing I can do.
17:10She committed an assault.
17:11Domestic violence laws are strict for a reason.
17:14What happened to circumstances dictate actions?
17:17Trust me.
17:17This is one rule I'm all for.
17:19Cemeteries are filled with women
17:20who'd still be alive if cops
17:21have been forced to hook up their spouses
17:22the second he or she laid hands.
17:24That is a very enlightened attitude.
17:27You seem surprised.
17:29Sir, you surprise me every day.
17:31Uh-huh.
17:32Go gas up the shop.
17:35Hey, how's it going?
17:36Hey.
17:37It's been an interesting morning.
17:39How about you?
17:39Same.
17:40Found a dead body at the Langston,
17:41the whole shirt.
17:42How was it?
17:43Gruesome.
17:44Guy took a bullet right to his...
17:45Oh, wait.
17:46Not the body.
17:47The apartment.
17:48Oh, uh, it was nice.
17:50Surprisingly upscale for a gang member.
17:52Are you asking for you?
17:54Well, the building needs to disclose
17:56if someone was killed in the apartment,
17:57so it might mean a break in rent.
18:00Yeah, just a bit of a questionable way
18:02to find a place to live, no?
18:03Yeah, well, traditional clearly isn't working out, so...
18:06Let's go, boot.
18:07Captain wants to see us.
18:11That should hold you until you get to the hospital.
18:14Captain.
18:15What's going on?
18:18That's our murder suspect.
18:19He's not a suspect, Officer Nolan.
18:21He's an undercover narcotics detective.
18:23Robert Ortiz.
18:24I'm sorry about the ambulance thing.
18:32I've been undercover in Salauma for almost a year,
18:36working my way closer to the offshoot
18:37in Boyle Heights called Ocampo Loco.
18:39They control the cash flow
18:40and then bundle the drug money
18:41and ship it back to Mexico.
18:43How much money are we talking?
18:44Right now, at least a million.
18:46The word is they're going to ship it tonight.
18:48I was about to report it when my cover was blown
18:50by Matthew Rodriguez, who tried to kill me,
18:53so I shot him in self-defense.
18:55You know the rest?
18:56Officer Ortiz has bravely volunteered
18:58to go back in to protect his cover
18:59and set up our tactical operation.
19:01Last time I was at the house,
19:03there was four Alcones guarding the money.
19:05Heavy hitters.
19:06We're going to gear up heavy,
19:08position ourselves down the street,
19:09being ready to initiate a full-blown raid on the house
19:12once Ortiz gives us a signal.
19:14Rookies, this is your first high-level tactical operation.
19:18Let's be prepared.
19:20Did you read the search warrant?
19:21Yes, ma'am.
19:228531 Winchester Boulevard.
19:24Residence is the 1800s Victorian
19:25with five bedrooms and two bathrooms and a guest house.
19:28Front door?
19:29Solid oak with a copper handle on the right side.
19:33You know the specs of this equipment, Officer Chen?
19:35It's a Black Hawk Dynamic Entry Special Operant.
19:39How much does it weigh?
19:4060 pounds, sir.
19:41Hold it tight.
19:42You'll be the breacher.
19:43You'll buy a round for every swing it takes
19:44to knock that door down.
19:46Walk me through a tactical gear check.
19:48Stock zip ties in the loops of the tack vest.
19:51And then?
19:52Secure any loose gear,
19:53tack vest, helmet, etc.
19:55Finally, secure a firearm to a thyroid.
19:57Very good.
19:58Any questions?
20:00What if I have to pee?
20:03I'll hold it.
20:04I'm good.
20:09All unit.
20:10We're 30 seconds out.
20:11Get ready.
20:12Be safe.
20:19Officer West,
20:20you do the 844.
20:21Stand by to initiate.
20:26Ortiz is in.
20:27Where the hell you been?
20:28Rodriguez was talking to the cops.
20:29He tried to stick me when I called him out.
20:31So I put a bullet in his head.
20:32We gotta get out of here.
20:33We could've given this place up.
20:35How the hell are we gonna do that?
20:36We got a million in cash.
20:37Wait, I go back it up.
20:38It's too hot to stay here.
20:39That's the signal initiate.
21:04Police!
21:04Open the door!
21:05We have a search warrant!
21:09Cover line!
21:10Open the door to the right!
21:11Open the door!
21:13Open the door!
21:15Get over from that window!
21:16Show me your hands!
21:18On the ground!
21:20Step back or I'll shoot!
21:21Get down on your knees now!
21:22Clear!
21:24You good?
21:25Yeah!
21:25Hands up!
21:26Fingers behind your head!
21:28Do it now!
21:28Back up!
21:31Hands up!
21:32Can't let your fingers head behind your head!
21:36You okay?
21:37Yeah, barely.
21:38Whatever, it's at the hospital on the way out.
21:40Clear!
21:41Coming out!
21:47Special assignment, follow me.
21:54Sorry, here's what happens now.
21:57The money counters and the videographer are on their way.
22:00In the meantime, you three get to watch the money.
22:03Two people with it at all times.
22:05No selfies.
22:07Enjoy.
22:14Where does all this money go?
22:16Cash sees during drug raids goes back to narcotics, where it's used again for undercover ops.
22:21That's more money than I've ever seen in one place.
22:24Can you imagine?
22:27I'd buy a car, no, a helicopter, and learn to fly it so I could avoid all the traffic.
22:33Yeah, that first big purchase is always tricky, right?
22:36The barber in Foxburg, he won the lottery, bought a big fancy boat, ran it aground in Freeport.
22:42Coked the gills.
22:44I don't think a boat is a good idea.
22:45What about you?
22:46What'd you spend it on?
22:47I'm not playing that game.
22:49It's drug money.
22:50Mom, we're just talking.
22:51A million dollars lands on your doorstep.
22:54What do you do?
22:55Go.
22:55And don't say you'd set aside 30% for taxes.
22:58Um, a new car, I guess.
23:01Um, or maybe a trip.
23:04Been wanting to do a little traveling.
23:05Let me guess.
23:07You'd visit police departments all around the world, learn their techniques?
23:11No.
23:17I'd pay all of Henry's tuition with the money.
23:20Because we didn't have those student loans hanging over his head.
23:23Yeah, they're no fun.
23:25I'll be paying mine off until I'm 60.
23:28Yeah, well, with this money, you could pay them all off and still rent an amazing place by the ocean.
23:34Meanwhile, I couldn't afford to buy the room in the house I'm living in.
23:37Better would have got you something pretty nice back in Foxburg, though.
23:39Mm.
23:40Biggest house in town and then some.
23:43So I can't get used to the cost of living in Los Angeles.
23:45It's like you have to add an extra zero to everything.
23:47You know, I never really thought about money growing up.
23:50We always just had enough, you know?
23:52Yeah.
23:53That's what I thought.
23:54Until my parents went bankrupt when I was nine.
23:58It took a couple of really bad years before we got back up on our feet.
24:01Yeah, I've been there.
24:03There have been days where I would have killed to be sitting across from this much money.
24:08There for the taking.
24:10Hey, don't even joke about that.
24:12I've heard too many stories from my dad about cops who started filling their pockets,
24:15convincing themselves that it was a victimless crime,
24:17that they were entitled to a little extra compensation for their troubles.
24:21Okay, well, relax.
24:23That's not us.
24:24Yeah, that's what they thought at first, too.
24:25But then you take a bite of the creme brulee,
24:27and the next thing you know, you're doing three to five for felony theft.
24:30I'm sorry, creme brulee?
24:33Never mind.
24:34Oh, man.
24:35What?
24:36I just, I still have to pee, but with all this...
24:41I'll drop back.
24:45Well done?
24:46Just finished.
24:47Bad guy's on the way to jail, Ortiz on his way to the hospital, so we're headed out.
24:51You're not waiting for us?
24:51Nope.
24:52But we're leaving a shot behind.
24:54Remember, shift starts tomorrow at noon,
24:56but you want to get in early to do tonight's paperwork.
24:58Copy that.
24:59Are the money counters going to get you soon?
25:01I'd get comfortable if I were you.
25:02Those guys work at their own pace.
25:06Oh, where's the...
25:15I'd still do the job.
25:18Even if I came into money, that's a lot of shock.
25:22You know, I would too.
25:26You've known what you've wanted to do since birth, but I just figured out.
25:30There's no way I would bail now.
25:33What about you?
25:35Having money makes things easier, not better.
25:39That's not an answer.
25:41Would you quit the job?
25:42And passed up on being hazed on a daily basis by training officers ten years of my junior?
25:47Come on.
25:57All right.
25:58Officers Grazer and Williams are riding on the scene.
26:01117 a.m.
26:02We're leaving three uniformed officers.
26:04What are your names?
26:05Nolan Chen West.
26:06Anyone else?
26:07Come in or out?
26:08No, ma'am.
26:09Great.
26:10Get the rope.
26:11We got it from here.
26:17You coming?
26:19We might never see this much money again.
26:22If there's ever another raid and they need someone to sit and wait until the wee hours,
26:27I have a feeling it'll be us.
26:34Nolan, wake up!
26:36Nolan!
26:38Nolan!
26:49Did I oversleep?
26:50Ship starts at noon.
26:51Captain called me to bring you in early.
26:52Why?
26:53She didn't say.
26:54That sounds bad.
26:55It's not good.
26:55Do I have time to...
26:56Get dressed.
27:01What's going on?
27:02They told us to gather our boots same as you.
27:05We have a situation.
27:07Money counters are telling us that we're missing $250,000.
27:11And you three were the only ones left alone with the money.
27:21Well, the money counters must have made a mistake.
27:23There's video of them entering the garage and relieving you.
27:26And then they counted the money and got $750,000 and not a million.
27:30Let me remind you, an officer was recently convicted of third-degree official misconduct
27:34for taking $70 from a crime scene.
27:36These are even two years behind bars.
27:38What do you think would happen to a cop who steals a quarter million dollars?
27:41But we didn't take it.
27:42Maybe the assumption was wrong.
27:45Maybe it was always $750,000.
27:46That's not what the intel shows.
27:48The guys on the bar are saying it's a million.
27:49Okay, well, we can all vouch for each other.
27:52Not good enough.
27:53The only thing that will clear you is passing a polygraph.
27:55Now, I can't by law make you take one.
27:57It would have to be strictly voluntary.
27:59What if we decline?
28:00There's grounds for suspension pending investigation.
28:03And it possibly could lead to your termination.
28:06Well, that's not much of a choice, but...
28:11Yeah, we'll do it.
28:12Okay.
28:13Let's go.
28:14What, now?
28:15Now.
28:24You think one of them really could have done it?
28:26Not by themselves.
28:27Nolan came back into the house to use Bathurn.
28:29One of the other two could have hidden some of the money then.
28:32Came back, picked it up later.
28:34There's no way Wes participated.
28:35That kid is squeaky clean.
28:37Off of his chin, she wouldn't get caught like this.
28:39Sounds like a compliment.
28:40I'm just saying, she's smarter than that.
28:42It doesn't matter if they did it or not.
28:44If they don't walk out of there with a flawless polygraph, they're done.
28:52What am I sitting on?
28:53The pressure pad.
28:54That registers if you attempt to try to cheat the polygraph by clenching your buttocks.
29:00Well, that can't be a real thing.
29:02You just clenched.
29:04Really?
29:06What am I doing now?
29:09Officer West, you seem uncomfortable.
29:12Is there something you'd like to get off your chest before we begin?
29:15Yes.
29:17I, um, I had to buy the creme brulee, okay?
29:20And yes, it was delicious.
29:22Like, I know it was wrong, but now that taste is in my mouth, that sweet flavor of corruption.
29:28It's just...
29:29But I want to let you guys know that I've learned my lesson, and it will never happen again.
29:36Okay, let's begin with a few controlled questions.
29:39The answer was simple yes or no.
29:41Is your name Jonathan Nolan?
29:43Yes.
29:44Do you live at 7214 1⁄2 Alvaro Street, Apartment F?
29:49For the moment.
29:50A simple yes or no, officer.
29:52Sorry.
29:52Um, yes.
29:53Are your eyes brown?
29:55Um, well, my mom always says they're more of a dark chestnut.
30:01Brownest line.
30:03Did you witness anyone taking money?
30:05No.
30:05Were you ever alone with the money?
30:07Yes, sir.
30:08No, no, sir.
30:09No.
30:11Like, I'm sorry.
30:12These wires make me really nervous.
30:14I can't...
30:16Have you ever lied to protect another officer?
30:19No.
30:22Let's try that again.
30:24Have you ever lied to protect a fellow officer?
30:28Yes.
30:30Regarding the missing money?
30:32No, ma'am.
30:36Why didn't you tell them about creme brulee?
30:38I don't know.
30:38It came up naturally.
30:39They were yes or no questions.
30:41How does creme brulee come up naturally?
30:44Boots, you've all passed your polygraphs.
30:46But this is far from over.
30:48Go home.
30:49Detectives will contact you soon about follow-up and abuse.
30:52You gotta find out what happened to that money before you hit the street again.
30:54Yes, ma'am.
30:57Hey.
30:58You know what I like to do after I've been suspected of a felony?
31:01Uh, drink?
31:01Damn straight.
31:02I got a stocked fridge.
31:03Anyone want to join?
31:04I'm down.
31:04Lucy?
31:05Yeah, it's early lunch and I should make use of the time off and go apartment tending.
31:09You okay?
31:11Why would I be?
31:16Hey.
31:18We all got cleared.
31:20You're cops.
31:20We supposed to be impressed you're not criminals?
31:23No, sir.
31:24Part of the job description, really.
31:25And you won't be cleared until the money's found.
31:28But we'll do our best to try and find it.
31:33Natalia's right.
31:35They don't catch who stole that money.
31:36Cops are gonna think we did it.
31:38No matter what the polygraph said, we'll never be trusted again.
31:41No, you're not wrong.
31:42So what do we do?
31:45Hey, Lucy, you're on with me and Jackson.
31:47You know, if they don't find the money, we're screwed.
31:50We were just talking about that.
31:52I keep going over it in my mind.
31:53The only thing I can think of is that money was gone long before we ever got to the garage.
31:59What the hell is this guy doing?
32:01Wait, what?
32:02This black SUV, he's riding my ass.
32:07He just hit me.
32:09It looks like he's trying to run me off the road.
32:11Where are you?
32:12I'm driving south on Griffith Park Drive.
32:14I just passed Mineral Wells Trail.
32:21Lucy?
32:22Lucy?
32:23Lucy?
32:44Bishop, Lucy's in trouble.
32:45Someone tried to drive her up the road.
32:47Griffith Park Drive.
32:48Jackson and I are on our way there now.
32:58Okay, let's see last.
33:22Claire!
33:24Phone's in the car.
33:25Officer needs help requesting backup and air shift.
33:28Vans clear.
33:29Griffith Park Drive.
33:30Be advised, plainclothes officers in pursuit heading northwest into the woods.
33:33Seven out of 19.
33:35We're five minutes out.
33:35Hold until we get there.
33:53Which way?
33:55I don't know.
33:58You seeing that?
33:59Yeah.
34:04That way.
34:05You sure?
34:06No.
34:09No.
34:24Drop the gun.
34:31What do you want?
34:33The money you stole.
34:37You're with Laoma?
34:38You're with the LAPD.
34:40Officer Lucy Chen.
34:41Lives at 3214 1⁄2 Alvarado Street.
34:45Apartment F.
34:46How do you know all that?
34:47Public records.
34:48Addresses.
34:49Police reports.
34:50Damn near everything's on the net.
34:51So I already know that you were guarding our money and 250 G's went missing.
34:57And I know you're the cop that took him.
34:58I...
34:59I didn't steal anything.
35:01Oh, please.
35:02Oh, please.
35:02We've seen your place.
35:04Ran your credit.
35:05We need a serious cash infusion.
35:09So, where's our money?
35:11I already told you.
35:13I don't have it.
35:15Tough girl, huh?
35:16Well, everybody's tough at first.
35:18Until they're not.
35:20Andres.
35:22Cut her up a little.
35:31This isn't about the money, chica.
35:33A quarter million is a rounding error on our gas budget.
35:36This is about sending a message.
35:38You can't steal from us.
35:42Even if you carry a badge.
35:44I saw you.
35:46What?
35:46Outside the house, right before we raided it.
35:49You were wearing those boots and carrying that duffel bag with the red stripe.
35:52Somebody tipped you off about the raid.
35:55You took the money.
35:57You got in before we hit the place.
35:58You thought no one would notice.
36:07Shots fired northwest from our previous.
36:10Damn it!
36:11Ah!
36:13Oh!
36:16You messed it all up.
36:25Hey!
36:27Police!
36:28Don't move!
36:34Do not move!
36:36Stay on the ground!
36:39You got this?
36:40Yeah.
36:41I'm going after Lucy.
36:53I'm going after Lucy.
36:55Nice.
36:55Do you have cuffs?
36:56Yeah.
36:57That's perfect.
37:00What took you so long?
37:09Paramedics has taken our other suspects to Shaw Memorial.
37:11Homicide's working the outcome.
37:12This one killed.
37:13And the missing 250,000?
37:15Einstein, he had it stacked on his coffee table.
37:17Wes and Lopez are bringing it in now.
37:18All right.
37:19Good work.
37:22And how are you doing?
37:23Oh, good.
37:24I think I might have twisted my ankle.
37:25I meant Officer Chin, no one.
37:28That was good work out there.
37:30Thank you, sir.
37:31I'm just relieved that we found the missing money.
37:33So I take it we're off the hook about the cash?
37:35You are.
37:36But to be clear,
37:38at no point did anyone actually believe that three rookies
37:40knew how to smuggle a quarter million cash out of a crime scene.
37:45But good work.
37:52Hey.
37:53Hey.
37:54Um, look, in case I haven't said this enough,
37:58I, uh, I've been training to be a cop my whole life.
38:01I walked in here thinking I knew everything about everything,
38:04and I can only imagine how annoying that's been.
38:07I want to call it annoying, I call it,
38:10yeah, no, annoying's about right.
38:12Well, I'm sorry.
38:14You're my T.O.
38:15Not my dad.
38:17I should let you teach me how to be a cop,
38:19even if some of your methods contradict the things that he showed me.
38:22But, look, I just hope that you'll understand
38:24if I need to take a moment to adjust.
38:27I guess I can give you that.
38:31And thanks for not giving up on me.
38:33I wouldn't be here without you,
38:34and I'll never forget that again.
38:46Good time?
38:47Of course.
38:47Come in, Captain.
38:48Let's see how you were doing.
38:51All-you-can-eat pudding.
38:53The only highlight of being in a hospital.
38:56Do you want one?
38:57Oh, no, no.
38:58You enjoy.
39:00Hey, uh, I thought you'd like to know.
39:03We recovered the missing quarter million.
39:06Wow.
39:08That's really good news.
39:10Turns out it was gone before we even showed up.
39:12Gang member Franco DeSantis took it just before our raid.
39:15He pulled his cell records.
39:17Turns out there was an incoming call just before he grabbed the cash and walked it out the door.
39:21Do you know where that call came from?
39:25Mm-mm.
39:26I have no idea.
39:28The station.
39:31Ha.
39:34Did you think I made it?
39:36Oh, I know you did.
39:38You see, Franco admitted as much.
39:43Don't.
39:45You should enjoy your pudding.
39:48Stuff they give you in prison.
39:51Not nearly as good.
39:59Hey.
40:00Come in, come in, come in.
40:04So, this is my new place.
40:06It's great, right?
40:07Oh, uh, there's a giant blood stain on the rug.
40:11Which is how I'm getting 25% off for the first year.
40:15Are you sure that's not because you're a cop?
40:17Yeah.
40:17He didn't even know before he cut me the break.
40:20Landlord was super eager to get it all done.
40:22Especially because I said I would take it as is.
40:25As is?
40:26You mean that...
40:28Oh, yeah.
40:29Which is why you're here.
40:31You see, friends...
40:33Help friends clean up crime scenes.
40:39We'll get poke after.
40:41Okay.
40:46So, what should we drink to?
40:49Paying your own way.
40:50That's strangely specific.
40:52Listen, I really appreciate everything you've done for me.
40:56You really helped me get back on my feet.
40:58But I'm back on them now.
40:59And I can't just keep living here for free.
41:03I don't need you to pay rent.
41:04I need me to pay rent.
41:06So, what would you list this place for?
41:09Oh, I don't know.
41:1112.
41:12Maybe 11.
41:13How about we'll just call 10,000 even?
41:15A month?
41:17I can't afford that.
41:18I'll tell you what.
41:20Why don't you pay what you can afford?
41:22I'm going to call it even.
41:25Deal.
41:29And I have to tell you...
41:31Oh, my God, that's good.
41:33But I have to be clear.
41:35As a cop, I can't do you any favors.
41:38I can't fix a ticket for you.
41:40I can't help you out of any legal jeopardy.
41:43I just hope you understand.
41:46Totally.
41:47And you know what?
41:48I would never come to you for anything like that.
41:51I'm super tight with the district attorney.
41:53That's not better.
41:55So, this rent that you're going to be paying,
41:58is it retroactive from when you moved in?
42:02Um, yes.
42:04That's great.
42:42Damn it.
42:43You
