00:01Last day of training.
00:02Last day of Tim barking orders.
00:05Last day that they can fire us at a moment's notice.
00:07Last day of them recording every flaw for posterity.
00:10It's kind of bittersweet.
00:12Nope, just sweet. Sorry, sorry.
00:15Guys, stop apologizing.
00:17You guys have finally made it, and I'll be right behind you.
00:20Look, the extra month will fly by. You know it.
00:22Now, is Tim gonna do anything special
00:24to memorialize your last shift together?
00:27Not knowingly.
00:28You know, when you move on from an important relationship,
00:30there are steps you should take
00:32to ensure a healthy parting.
00:34We are going to work through every single one of them.
00:38Uh, how if he doesn't know you're doing it?
00:40Trickery!
00:41Bye.
00:42That's...yeah.
00:44Who are you gonna ride with today?
00:45No idea.
00:47Gray's busy, and Smith is getting a back tattoo.
00:49Yes.
00:50Don't ask.
00:50So we are out of TOs,
00:52and I'm guessing finishing my rookie year at the front desk.
00:55Boo!
00:58Where's our gear?
00:59Wait.
01:00What?
01:01We started this journey together.
01:03I think we should end it that way.
01:04Don't you?
01:05Yeah.
01:07Then let's go.
01:12I thought we were tight.
01:14You did?
01:15We are.
01:16That's...I mean, why?
01:17What?
01:17You told your ethics professor she should come for a ride along.
01:21No.
01:22No.
01:22We know.
01:22We didn't even, uh, discuss it.
01:24But I-I need to pass this class,
01:26so it's super important she doesn't get shot today.
01:29No promises.
01:30You ride with me, you ride the roller coaster.
01:32Okay, Nyla, I know.
01:33Hi, good morning.
01:35Good morning.
01:35Uh, Professor Ryan.
01:36This is Detective Nyla Harper, my training officer.
01:38I'm told you're gonna be going on a ride along with us today.
01:41I hope that's okay.
01:42I didn't want to put you in an awkward position by asking you,
01:45but your watch commander said that you'd feel cheated
01:47if I didn't ride with you, so...
01:48And he was right.
01:50Uh, shall we?
01:54So, you, uh, sign all the paperwork that says that we are not liable
01:57if you are maimed or killed?
01:59I did. It seemed a bit excessive.
02:01No, it's not.
02:02I mean, we will try our best to protect you,
02:04but we cannot guarantee your safety.
02:06You will be exposed to all the same dangers that we are.
02:10Well, more farmers die yearly than cops do.
02:13I didn't have to sign a liability waiver to go apple picking.
02:16That's because you weren't picking them out of a wood chipper.
02:19Uh, hey, have you ever seen a body camera up close?
02:22No.
02:23Well, they're always running.
02:24Uh, until we actually need them,
02:26we switch them on, then they start recording,
02:28and they go back two minutes
02:29so we can catch any of that last-minute action.
02:31Oh, and yet they're always broken
02:33whenever the cops cross the line.
02:35You'd be surprised how many police officers
02:37actually want a body cam.
02:39That way it makes it easier to disprove complaints.
02:42Okay, then you will not mind
02:44if I record the ride-along myself
02:47as a research tool.
02:49No problem.
02:51Hmm.
02:52Just as long as you turn it off
02:54when we hit the strip club for the lunch buffet.
02:59She's kidding.
03:00That buffet is terrible at that strip club.
03:03Ready to go?
03:12You got yours on?
03:13Yeah.
03:15It's our last shift together.
03:17It's crazy, huh?
03:19Not really.
03:20Come on.
03:21You've been riding shoulder to shoulder for over a year now.
03:24Soon there'll be a new rookie sitting in that seat
03:26annoying the crap out of me for 12 hours a day.
03:28So you're not going to miss riding with me?
03:30Not all?
03:32It's a job, not happy hour.
03:34Hmm.
03:34Denial.
03:35Check.
03:36What?
03:37Hmm?
03:38Nothing?
03:47So, you teach full-time?
03:50No.
03:50Just nights and weekends.
03:52My day job is civil rights litigation.
03:55And then there's lecturing, the writing, the cable news hits.
03:58When do you sleep?
03:59Sleep.
04:00What's that?
04:00Oh, is that what you were doing in my class on Monday?
04:03What?
04:04No.
04:05No, sometimes I just, I hold a blink for a really long time.
04:07You sure lying to your teacher is the way to go here?
04:10Actually, now that I hear it out loud, I'd like to revise my answer.
04:12Yeah.
04:12Uh-huh.
04:13So, given how busy you are, why take the time for a ride-along?
04:18I'm finishing up a book on the future of policing.
04:21What would you say is the biggest challenge you face day to day?
04:26Finding a safe bathroom.
04:29That is true.
04:30I mean, we can't use a stall bathroom for safety reasons.
04:32The door has to go floor to ceiling.
04:34And the location of the bathroom is also very important,
04:36so that not a lot of people can see us entering and leaving.
04:39Okay.
04:407M15, residential burglary alarm, 1330 Monrovia.
04:44A hundred bucks, it's an accidental trigger.
04:46That is a hard pass.
04:48She's kidding.
04:49No way we'd blow off a service call.
04:52Copy.
04:53Responding.
04:55Do you see yourself as my mentor?
04:57No.
04:58I'm your T.O.
05:00It's my job to make sure you're not dangerously incompetent when you hit the streets without supervision tomorrow.
05:05You know, when I was a rookie, I couldn't wait to get off probation.
05:08Oh, I am excited.
05:09Believe me.
05:10But I also know the importance of acknowledging your loss when going through something like this.
05:16Acknowledging your loss?
05:17Hmm.
05:19What is this, some intro to psych closure BS?
05:21It's not BS.
05:23It's a widely used psychological model to help people cope with the end of a relationship.
05:28Relationship?
05:29Partnership.
05:30Mentorship.
05:31Whatever you want to call it.
05:32Look, I don't want to call it anything.
05:34It's not like you won't see me tomorrow at the station.
05:36You know, what's there to talk about?
05:38A lot.
05:39I have a list.
05:41A list?
05:44You know, littering is a $250 high.
05:47Worth it.
05:50What are you smiling about?
05:51Well, we were at denial, but now we've moved to anger.
05:57Progress.
06:06Gives me out of the office.
06:07I mean, not just for today.
06:09I mean, you could have bounced me from the program after that first day.
06:13I'll tell you my career.
06:15You sell for a sandwich when you're Felipe's.
06:18I mean, you just had breakfast.
06:19You questioning pregnant lady?
06:21No, ma'am.
06:22No, ma'am.
06:23What?
06:24I mean, you're gonna be a mom.
06:27And?
06:29I don't know.
06:30I mean, a lot's happened since we started out together.
06:33I knew my TO would be important in my career, but...
06:38I don't know.
06:38I didn't realize how important you'd be to my life.
06:41Lay off the sappy stuff.
06:43I'm nauseous enough as it is.
06:48Have you read my work?
06:50I have.
06:51I actually follow you on social media.
06:53Oh.
06:54And?
06:55I'd make a lot of the reforms you're pushing for.
06:58But some just aren't based in reality.
07:00Well, maybe not your reality.
07:02Look, either you want my opinion or you don't.
07:05If you are just here to confirm your own point of view,
07:07then I will stop engaging.
07:09No, no, no.
07:09That's not what I'm looking for.
07:10I'm just used to cops taking my head off
07:12any time I suggest changing the status quo.
07:15You would be surprised how many cops actually know
07:17the system has to change,
07:18but just feel powerless to make it happen.
07:20Mm.
07:23Homeowner set off the alarm accidentally.
07:25Hundred bucks.
07:26Put it on my tab.
07:27So, you two getting along, huh?
07:29My two teachers?
07:30Mm.
07:30Yeah.
07:31We're bonding by making fun of you.
07:33Oh, outstanding.
07:34Let me get in on that.
07:35Have you noticed how much I've been saying like lately?
07:40Child abduction.
07:41Suspect is driving a Gold Tacoma truck.
07:43Flight number 2 Queen Robert Ida 445.
07:47Victim was kidnapped from...
07:48City of Angels Hospital.
07:50How old?
07:51Uh, five hours.
07:58Here we go.
08:03Air 3 is lifting now.
08:05I'm 10-9-7 searching for the suspect vehicle.
08:09A newborn baby girl went missing 20 minutes ago.
08:12The hospital is going over the surveillance footage.
08:14Wait, don't all babies get low jack these days?
08:16Yeah, it was found in the elevator, cut off.
08:18Who owns the Tacoma?
08:20Uh, that would be the father, Jared Young.
08:22Looks like they're going through a messy divorce.
08:24He was visiting the hospital earlier that day, but security had him leave.
08:28There may have been some kind of threat.
08:29So, he went back in and he just took the baby?
08:31Jared's got quite an extensive criminal history here.
08:33A lot of narcos, narco possession, possession of cell.
08:36Under the influence?
08:37Just the guy you want taking care of your newborn.
08:39Oh, we got the whole city looking for him. We won't get far.
08:41So, this baby that the whole city is mobilized to find, is she by any chance white?
08:48We issue plenty of amber alerts for children of color as well.
08:52Do you have a kid?
08:54Daughter.
08:55And, uh, you're sure your daughter would get the same attention as his son?
08:59From the media? No.
09:01But out here, we, we look just as hard.
09:05Mrs. Young, this is Detective Lopez. I'm out here searching for your baby.
09:09You have to find her.
09:10Yes, ma'am. We're doing everything we can, but I need your help.
09:12Is there any place your husband might take her?
09:14He lives in Bell Gardens.
09:16Yes, ma'am. We have officers on the way to his apartment now.
09:19But if he's not there, where would he be?
09:21Out buying drugs if he has any money.
09:24And if he's not?
09:25Jared will do anything to get a fix, including selling our baby.
09:34I'll pick up two blocks up.
09:40Negative. Texas plates.
09:44Five hours old. That poor mother must be going out of her mind.
09:48Let me guess.
09:49You think if the parents had properly worked through their separation,
09:53this whole thing could have been avoided?
09:54No. Mom needs to get as far away from him as possible.
09:58But I do think that having easier access to counseling
10:01and mental health resources could prevent situations like this.
10:03Sure, but most guys still wouldn't go.
10:06Yeah, because we stigmatize mental health,
10:07treat it as less important than physical health.
10:10It's ridiculous that they teach sex ed in schools,
10:12but not how to be in a relationship.
10:14I wish someone taught me how to be in this one.
10:16Oh, so we are in a relationship.
10:20So what's the focus of your book?
10:22Reinventing policing with a more limited mandate.
10:26Amen to that.
10:27You agree with taking resources away from police?
10:29If it lessens our low, then yes, absolutely.
10:31Yeah, we complain about it all the time.
10:33Police have become the catch-all for the city's problems.
10:36We're expected to be cops, psychologists, social workers, teachers, mediators.
10:43And they only train us for one of those jobs.
10:45Gold truck.
10:45Two cars ahead.
10:47That's it.
10:49Control 7, Adam 15.
10:50We have eyes on the Amber Alert suspect vehicle heading west on Pico passing West Lake.
10:557 Adam 19 inbound on Olympic passing Aardmore.
10:587 Adam 7 coming west from Wilshire and Rimpal moving to intercept from the front.
11:02Air 3 responding heading west from Bell Gardens.
11:04ETA to your location.
11:06Approximately six minutes.
11:07Can you parallel suspect until I get eyes on?
11:09Affirmative.
11:10Parallel?
11:11Yeah, we follow on side streets and alleyways.
11:15Oh, so he doesn't spot you and run.
11:17Exactly.
11:17The last thing we want is him speeding through traffic with a baby in the car, especially
11:20since there's no wait.
11:21He's got an infant car seat in there.
11:22We'll just wait until we have enough units and then we'll box him in.
11:25Intersection ahead.
11:26We still have him?
11:27Yeah, he's got a half a car length ahead, but he's speeding up.
11:29He might have seen us before we made our turn.
11:337 Adam 19, Maxwell and Pico, west of Target, waiting for him to pass.
11:40Suspect just went past.
11:41Speed 50 miles an hour.
11:43We'll move to parallel on the north.
11:44Copy that.
11:45Why don't you set up a roadblock?
11:46Roadblocks are considered a lethal measure.
11:48Didn't know that.
11:49Yeah, there's a strong chance a desperate driver will ram a roadblock.
11:52Clear.
11:53We only use them unless we have no other choice.
11:55Watch out, watch out.
11:57I can't see around the truck.
11:59Move it!
11:59Move!
12:00I got it after this car.
12:05You see him?
12:06No.
12:07Well, maybe he turned around and we got stuck.
12:107 Adam 19, we've lost visual.
12:11We've got eyes on him.
12:13Negative.
12:13We haven't reacquired visual.
12:15Where the hell is that airship?
12:17Air 3 is overhead, arriving on scene.
12:19Watch the suspects 20.
12:20We lost visual Pico east of Maxwell.
12:23If possible, he turned off and headed either north or south.
12:25Copy that.
12:26We're gonna orbit.
12:32Contact.
12:33Suspect vehicle now heading north on Livingston.
12:35Repeat, north on Livingston.
12:37Copy on our way.
12:38Speed is approximately 65.
12:40Looks like he's heading for the freeway.
12:47Hold on.
12:48Suspect has sideswiped another vehicle.
12:50He's lost control.
12:53Tell me that wasn't our guy.
12:54He just TC'd into a telephone pole.
12:56Can you see inside the truck?
12:58Negative.
13:11Help!
13:12Help!
13:15Show me your hands!
13:17Where's your daughter?
13:18What?
13:19Keep your hands where we can see them!
13:26No kid, there's no kid in here, there's no kid
13:28Your baby, where is he?
13:29At the hospital with her mom
13:31Then why did you run?
13:32Got him drugs
13:36If he doesn't have a baby, who does?
13:44Never thought I'd be disappointed if meth head wasn't taking care of a newborn
13:48I guess there's still plenty of time for her to mess up this kid's childhood once we get her back
13:53If we get her back
13:56You know, whenever you need Halloween costumes for Lopez Jr.
14:00My mom has dozens in storage
14:02I'm talking cop uniforms for every age
14:05You never really wanted to be anything else?
14:10Astronaut, ninja, ninja astronaut
14:12I mean, that would be cool, but
14:15No, I guess I just wanted to be my dad
14:19It was like my way of feeling close to him when he wasn't around
14:22Is that a lot?
14:23Yeah, I mean, he was a detective when I was born
14:27Trying to make a name for himself
14:29A lot of long hours
14:31But you were close
14:32Yeah, eventually
14:34Mom was kind of on her own until I was 12
14:36And that's when he moved up
14:38We got more stable hours
14:41I mean, I always loved him
14:44Don't get me wrong
14:44Even when he wasn't around
14:46I have a lot of great memories
14:48You know?
14:50Of course
14:50You know, you and Wesley are going to be awesome parents
14:54I know
14:56It's just
14:58We both get so wrapped up in our cases
15:00We barely make time to have dinner together
15:03How are we supposed to make time for a kid?
15:05Wesley is loaded
15:06You get yourself a nanny
15:08Or three
15:09So a stranger can raise my child?
15:11I mean, there won't be a stranger when you get to know him
15:13You know?
15:15Look
15:15You are not the first detective
15:17To have to balance work with the kid
15:19Talk to Harper about how she did it
15:22Harper
15:23Can you send three to a backup channel?
15:27Sure, go to 11
15:28Don't record this
15:33I need you to give me the reels on something
15:35How difficult was it to go back to work after Lila was born?
15:40Honestly, I barely remember
15:41I almost died giving birth
15:42So
15:44But, uh, that's not going to happen to you
15:46Giving birth can be a wonderful experience
15:51I've been told
15:53Definitely get the epidural
15:54Don't worry, I'm not a lunatic
15:57I'm thinking of scheduling a C
15:58But I'm worried that the stitches and everything
16:00Will keep me off work even longer
16:03I'm worried about the same thing
16:04But you know what?
16:05I got stitches anyway
16:06Just not in my stomach
16:07Okay
16:08Change us back to channel one
16:09Well, I think I want to hear this
16:13Tell me the truth
16:14Am I going to poop myself?
16:17And I'm out
16:18Wow
16:20I wish I could say no
16:22Why can't we just do that Twilight Sleep thing
16:24They did back in the 50s?
16:26I asked
16:27Apparently it is grossly unethical
16:30Detectives, are you done?
16:33Yes, sir
16:38We must see in Calis
16:40Joking while a kid is missing
16:42No, I get it
16:42I'm sure it's hard to work these kinds of cases
16:45Because involving kids are the worst
16:46You can't help but think
16:47What if they were mine?
16:49Yeah, I don't have kids
16:50But I feel the same way
16:52Every time another black kid gets shot by police
16:59Well, the hospital sent the video of the kidnapping
17:03You can't see her face
17:06That is just terrifying
17:08A stranger snatching your baby when you're not there to protect them?
17:11Don't worry
17:12I will personally stand to watch over your kid until you leave the hospital
17:15You better
17:16Do they have an ID on the kidnapper?
17:18Not yet
17:19Listen to me
17:20We're going to find her, alright?
17:23And that baby's going to be fine
17:25We'll see
17:31I don't have time for this
17:33Every minute we waste waiting for an ID on this woman
17:35Is a minute she could be hurting this kid
17:37Or worse
17:38Look, you need to get your head right in case this goes bad
17:40I'm squared away
17:42The fact that you just said that means you're not
17:46Look, you've been lucky on the job so far
17:49No, alright
17:51Sorry, that
17:53I came out wrong
17:54You've been through hell
17:55Stuff that would have broken a lot of veteran cops
17:58But a dead kid is different
18:00A dead kid
18:02Changes you forever
18:06I really hope our last shift together doesn't end with that
18:10Yeah
18:11Me too
18:14Okay, so what's next on your list?
18:21Okay
18:23Surround yourself with people who support, value, and energize you
18:27Which you may have to wait until later
18:30Then reflect on the lessons learned
18:32Both the good and the bad
18:34And express gratitude
18:38Okay
18:39So what have I taught you that you're grateful for?
18:43Um
18:43Hmm
18:46Not to second guess myself
18:49Yeah, early on
18:51One look from you could send me into a tailspin
18:54Plain clothes day
18:55But I've learned to trust my instincts
18:57Even if they go against what you would do
19:00Which will be crucial for undercover work
19:04Are you serious about being at UC?
19:06Yeah
19:09Why?
19:09Do you not think I'm tough enough?
19:11No, it's not about being tough
19:12I mean, look
19:13You're as tough as they come
19:14It's just
19:16You're
19:17Sensitive
19:20You are!
19:21Look what happened with Tamara
19:22You gave her your car for crying out loud
19:26And today
19:26Today
19:27This whole need to relive the last year
19:30Talk about our feelings
19:31I happen to think that caring about people
19:33Connecting with them
19:35Is what makes me a good cop
19:37It does
19:37Just not a good UC
19:40Look, to work undercover
19:41You have to be able to lie to someone's face
19:44Make them believe you're their best friend
19:46And then stab them in the back
19:49I just don't think you have that killer instinct
19:54Ouch
19:56I'm sorry
19:57But it's better you hear it now
20:06You're right
20:09And I appreciate your honesty
20:11You always tell me the truth
20:12No matter how painful it's gonna be
20:14And you deserve the same from me
20:21I've been struggling with being honest with you all day
20:26I've been hiding behind this stupid closure checklist
20:30Trying to get up the courage to tell you something
20:43I have feelings for you
20:50Look, we've been through a lot this year
20:52I mean
20:54You saved my life
20:57And I didn't want to say anything before
20:59Because I didn't want to put you in a weird position
21:02But now
21:03I mean
21:03I think
21:06I think the reason why you're so protective of me
21:09And
21:09And why you don't want me to be an undercover cop
21:12Is because
21:15Because you have feelings for me too
21:20Lucy
21:21No, listen
21:22I know it's complicated
21:24You're my T.O.
21:26You're responsible for me
21:28I know that you would never cross that line
21:31But
21:33Starting tomorrow
21:34I guess
21:36You're not
21:37And
21:39I
21:44First of all
21:45I
21:46I
21:47I
21:47Just like
21:48Thank you
21:51You're
21:55I'm flattered
21:57I am
22:00You're a great girl
22:02Woman
22:04Woman
22:05And
22:06I
22:11Crap
22:12Listen
22:19Are you kidding me
22:21Are you kidding me
22:24Wait
22:25I'm sorry
22:25Are you sorry
22:26Wait
22:27Just wait
22:28Lie to your face
22:29Check
22:30Make you think I've fallen for you
22:32Double check
22:33Oh
22:34And stab you in the back when you think we're best friends
22:37Triple check
22:38Look at me in the face
22:40And tell me
22:41You don't think I have the killer instinct to do undercover work
22:45Look at me in my face
22:46Come in
23:02It's weird now, isn't it?
23:05Nope
23:07I was just making a point
23:09And
23:09And you're undermining it by feeling guilty
23:18You're out of your mind
23:20You want to try the Camden experiment in Los Angeles
23:23I'm sorry, what's the Camden experiment?
23:25Uh, fire all police officers, make them reapply for their jobs
23:28Oh, just that?
23:29Well, you're both good cops
23:31You'll be back on the force in no time
23:33But
23:34Running new background checks on every single officer
23:37Most especially combing through their social media posts
23:39That'll get rid of most of the problem
23:40We'd be coming back to a gutted force
23:42I mean
23:43You would be down
23:44Ten percent
23:45Maybe twenty
23:46But you would be coming back to a better force
23:49And what about the kid that goes missing the day we're all fired?
23:53I mean
23:53It wouldn't happen overnight
23:55It would happen gradually
23:56In stages
23:57But without major action
24:00Things will never get better
24:02Seven man fifteen
24:03We have a possible suspect ID on Amber Alert
24:06Last name's the same
24:07First name Rita
24:08Suspect's husband called 911
24:10Make contact to take his statement
24:12Address is being sent to your box
24:14Copy that
24:15We got it
24:16On our way
24:18Yeah, if, uh
24:19If she reaches out
24:21Um, please, please, please
24:23Please call me
24:25Okay
24:26Yeah, I, no, I, I gotta go
24:28Mr. Sassane, I'm Detective Harper
24:33This is Officer Nolan
24:34I understand that your wife Rita was here with the baby
24:37Yeah, I, I don't, I don't know where she is
24:39I, I tried calling everyone that I know
24:43I, I tried to stop her from leaving
24:44But she was holding that baby
24:46And it was just, it was just so little
24:48I know, they can look so fragile at that age
24:51Uh, tell us about your wife
24:52Is there anything that could have precipitated this?
24:55You don't know?
24:58We lost our daughter, Casey
25:01This morning to Sid's
25:02Rita went into the nursery to check on her
25:05And then I, I heard screaming
25:07So I ran in
25:09And she was so still
25:13So cold
25:14I'm so sorry
25:15Sir, how old was she?
25:17Two months
25:19That's why your wife was at the hospital today?
25:21Yeah, we, we raised Casey to the emergency room
25:23Hoping that they could do something
25:25But it was, it was too late
25:27And then there was so many, uh, questions and, and forms
25:32And it took me a while to realize that, um, that Rita had left
25:36She wasn't answering herself
25:37So I thought maybe she, she came home
25:39But she wasn't here
25:41And then she just showed up like nothing had happened
25:44And she was just holding this little baby
25:47And calling her Casey
25:49And saying that everything had been a big mistake
25:52Okay, uh, we're gonna have to initiate child death protocol
25:55Treat the police like a crime scene
25:57Notify homicide
25:58The district attorney and CPS
26:00Wait, wait, wait, wait
26:01We didn't kill our daughter
26:02It was, it was, it was Sid's
26:04Yes, sir, I understand
26:05I'm not saying that we believe that you harmed your child
26:08But we do have protocols we have to follow
26:10Yes, sir, it's
26:11A hard fact is
26:12What most people consider to be Sid's
26:14Is actually accidental suffocation
26:16It was off bedding or a toy
26:19Right now
26:20If we have to focus on your wife
26:22Is there anywhere you think she might have gone?
26:24I don't know
26:25I've reached out to everyone I can think of
26:26But she's not really herself right, right now
26:29Has she been depressed lately?
26:31Yeah, I mean, she hasn't been eating or sleeping
26:33The doctor said she had, um, PPD
26:36But Rita refused any help
26:38Has she been drinking a lot?
26:40Any drugs or medication?
26:41No, the doctor prescribed antidepressants
26:44But Rita wouldn't take them
26:45I'm just so scared
26:46Thank you, sir
26:47Okay, thank you
26:48Please don't hurt her
26:49She's not herself right now
26:51You have to promise me that you won't hurt her
26:53Please
26:54Please
27:07Updated Amber Alert
27:08New suspect vehicle is a green Ford Fiesta
27:11License plate 3 Paul Charles Ida 026
27:15Suspect is Rita Cizane
27:1731-year-old white female
27:18Who lost her baby to Sid's
27:24This case is all the nightmares in my closet combined
27:26I know
27:27Sorry
27:28How am I ever going to let my kid out of my sight?
27:31With all the things we see on the job
27:33The things I know about people
27:34Look, the things we see are outliers
27:37Look, every day we show up on people's worst day
27:40We see the exception, not the rule
27:42I know that up here
27:44But
27:45Look, whether the kid is with you
27:47Or Wesley
27:48Or Nanny
27:48They'll be fine
27:50Okay
27:50She's so different from the way I grew up
27:54Wesley was raised by a nanny
27:56But
27:56When my mom went to work
27:58She put me in the back room
27:59And
28:00The other women would check in on me
28:02Can't exactly drop off Lopez Jr. and holding every morning
28:06Oh no
28:07Smitty is surprisingly maternal
28:10That is the most horrifying idea I've ever heard
28:13And I want it to be a reality show so bad
28:16I would wash the hell out of that
28:18Rita is negative on any previous 5150 holds
28:21And there are no registered firearms in her name
28:23If this woman's doctor couldn't get through to her, how will you?
28:26I mean, this woman is in crisis
28:28She needs a psychiatrist
28:29Yeah, but the baby needs a cop
28:30The honest truth is we don't have enough information to know what we're dealing with
28:34But that's every call
28:35It's a constant struggle to figure things out before it's too late
28:417 out of 19, go to channel 9
28:44Go for 7 out of 19
28:46Did you study postpartum depression in your psych major?
28:49Yeah
28:49PPD is fairly common
28:51Affects one in eight new moms
28:53In most cases they feel tired, alone, guilty
28:56Some feel a lack of attachment and then guilt for not feeling attached
28:59Some are overwhelmed by paranoia
29:03Visions of horrible things happening to their own child
29:07I see Rita turned down treatment
29:10That tells me she's probably dealing with shame
29:12Trying to cope alone, isolating
29:14Now add to that the trauma of finding her child unresponsive
29:18That could precipitate a mental break
29:20If it's an extreme case of PPD, which is rare
29:22She could be thinking about harming herself or a baby
29:25Tim, Green Fiesta
29:26Late to match, it's our car
29:28Nolan, we found Rita's car 21000, block of Manningham
29:31On our way
29:38Control 7 out of 19
29:39We've located the Fiesta from the revised Amber
29:41Alert 21000, block of Manningham
29:44No sign of suspect or child
29:49It's still hot
29:50She must have just ditched it
29:51Hey, you looking for the driver?
29:53Yeah, you see where she went?
29:55Nah, I was walking by when she parked on the curb
29:57How long ago?
29:58About five minutes
29:59Enough time for Butch and I to circle the block
30:00Did she have a baby with her?
30:02No idea
30:03I just watched her totally demolish that parking spot
30:06Reminded me of my ex-wife
30:07Yes, sir
30:08Please call us if you remember anything else
30:10Okay
30:10Control 7 out of 19
30:11I got the vehicle unoccupied
30:13Lucas has a suspect here less than five minutes ago
30:15She's on foot
30:16We need backup in an airship
30:18Secure a 10-block radius for a grid search
30:23I don't like this
30:24She wouldn't have abandoned the car unless she stopped for a reason
30:26Odds are it won't be a good one
30:28We're gonna find her fast
30:34This is crazy
30:35There's no way we find her and the baby in time
30:37We've got multiple units and an airship searching
30:39We will find them
30:40How?
30:41They could be anywhere
30:41No
30:42On foot with a newborn and a five-minute head start
30:44She's definitely within our grid
30:45Someone will have seen her
30:47We just pray we find her before she does something rush
31:00Up on the right
31:05Not her
31:10Can I make a suggestion?
31:11Of course
31:12Would it be helpful to have Rita's husband brought down here for when she's found?
31:18That could be dangerous
31:19We don't know what the situation was like at the house
31:21And even if the baby's death truly was accidental
31:24There could have been marital issues that added to Rita's PPD
31:27We'd be introducing a wild card to an already tenuous situation
31:30So it's all on you?
31:32I mean, no matter what you find when you get to her
31:34You have to be ready to deal with it
31:36What if you make a mistake?
31:38We have to live with it
31:39If we can
31:42All units, Air 3 has eyes on the suspect
31:454th Street Bridge, repeat
31:464th Street Bridge
31:49She has the baby
31:50She's standing in the railing
31:51Possible jumper
31:52Repeat
31:52Possible jumper
31:54Go
31:55Control, device, fire
31:56We have a possible jumper on 4th Street Bridge
31:58See if they have a crash pad available
31:59We'll also need R, A and backup units
32:02Go to high
32:17Maybe I should stay back
32:19Uh, it's up to you
32:20But a friendly face not in uniform
32:22Might actually calm the situation
32:23Hey, you wanna play this?
32:25You go talk to her
32:26You sure?
32:27Yeah, I'll step in if I need to
32:31Why, why Nolan?
32:34He has a way of connecting with people in crisis situations
32:38Hi, Rita
32:40I'm John
32:42How do you know my name?
32:44Uh, Ethan told me
32:46He's very worried about you
32:48I'm fine
32:50Who's that you got there?
32:52Casey
32:53This is Casey
32:56Casey looks a little bit cold
32:57Why don't we bring her inside, off the bridge?
32:59No
33:00She's fine with her mama
33:03Do you mind if I just make sure?
33:05Stay back
33:06Okay, yeah, I'll stay back
33:07We can just talk
33:17How's she doing?
33:19Uh, it's touch and go
33:20What do you need?
33:21Keep them back
33:22We don't wanna spook them
33:23You know, I know it can feel isolating
33:26Being a parent to a newborn
33:27She's not looking at the baby
33:32She's trying to convince herself
33:33That it's her baby she's holding
33:35Yeah, but deep down inside
33:37She knows it's not
33:38What happens when she figures out the truth?
33:40It's hard to say for sure
33:41We could break the spell
33:42Or get sent over the edge
33:43Literally
33:44Control, what's the ETA on fire?
33:46A three minute
33:47You might as well be two hours
33:49Are you thirsty?
33:51Rita?
33:52Nolan
33:54Can I talk to her?
33:55Hey Rita, I'm gonna introduce you to my friend Angelo, okay?
33:58Okay
33:59Hi Rita
34:01I'm here to help
34:03Is this Casey?
34:05Yes
34:07I love that name
34:09My fiance and I can't agree on a name for our baby
34:12How did you choose?
34:14I don't know
34:16When she was born, she just looked like a Casey
34:21How far along are you?
34:23Fourteen weeks
34:24I'm already scared about giving birth
34:27The pain
34:28Don't worry about the pain
34:30Once they put your baby in your arms
34:34And you look down into those beautiful eyes
34:37It was all worth it
34:39I heard all newborns have blue eyes
34:43Not Casey
34:44Dark brown right from the start
34:48Most amazing head of hair
34:50I hope if I have a daughter, she's born with hair
34:54My cousin's little girl
34:55She was bald for like the first 18 months
34:58Everyone thought she was a boy
35:00I love putting Casey's hair in little pigtails
35:04She always fights me, but she looks so cute
35:09Rita, can you do something for me?
35:12Can you look at Casey?
35:14Just look in those pretty brown eyes
35:19Please Rita, I need you to look in her eyes
35:32It's not Casey, is it?
35:40Here, I got her
35:42I'll get her back to her mother, okay?
35:49Tell her I'm sorry
35:54Thank you, Rita
35:55It's a very brave thing you did
35:57And now I need you to come with me, okay?
36:00My baby died
36:02I know
36:03I'm so sorry
36:07Yeah, Mom
36:13Yeah, Mom
36:32Well, thank you for today. This is an experience I will not forget.
36:36Well, we should schedule another one of these little ride-alongs so that we can continue the conversation.
36:42Oh, that won't be necessary.
36:45The book's already written, isn't it?
36:47I sent it to my publisher last week.
36:50What? Then what was today about that? Just an anecdote for the book tour?
36:54No, I didn't know the day was going to end up the way it did.
36:56But how do you write a book about policing without having seen it up close?
37:00Oh, I have seen it. Believe me.
37:01Today may have been my first ride-along, but it was not my first time sitting in the backseat of
37:05a cop car.
37:06I see. But if you're going to fix an engine, don't you think it would be helpful to look under
37:09the hood?
37:10That is a flawed analogy, Officer Nolan.
37:12Because a car is not actively trying to keep you from fixing it.
37:16Oh, excuse me.
37:20Look, I get that the path to real change seems almost impossible.
37:25I mean, police departments are pros at circling the wagons when public opinion turns against them.
37:30But I promise you, the only way things really will change is if cops get on board.
37:38I agree.
37:39But cops only act when activists make so much noise they cannot be ignored.
37:43Like in Camden.
37:44Look, you're talking to two police officers who would like to see things change.
37:48And we're not the only ones at the station that feels this way.
37:52I just think that maybe you could benefit from some of our insights.
38:02All right.
38:04You sold me.
38:05Great.
38:06I'll tell Sergeant Gray.
38:07I'm sure he'd love to be part of the conversation.
38:09Oh, thank you.
38:11And thank you both for the ride-along.
38:14I will see you in class.
38:15Looking forward.
38:19I think that went well, all things considered.
38:23Yeah, yeah.
38:23No, she's definitely going to give you an A.
38:25You think?
38:26No.
38:26She is going to make you earn it in class like the rest of her students.
38:30Fair enough.
38:30Yeah.
38:31You got any plans for the rest of the night?
38:33Hugging my daughter until she is sick of it and then hugging her some more.
38:36Sounds nice.
38:37Nolan.
38:39I'll see you tomorrow.
38:40All right.
38:41Sir.
38:42Well, how'd it go with Professor Ryan?
38:45Good, I think.
38:46She's going to be calling you to talk about police before, for her book.
38:51You pointed my way to get back at me for the ride-along?
38:54No, sir.
38:54No, I just know how committed you are to making things better.
38:57Even if it does mean having to admit you're wrong to do it.
39:00Oh, I'm sorry.
39:03When was I ever wrong?
39:05Oh, nothing comes to mind offhand.
39:08I guess there was that one time you said,
39:10if I succeeded, your house would be flooded with middle-aged losers
39:14looking for an eat, pray, love path to reinvention.
39:18I wrote it down.
39:21You haven't succeeded yet, Officer Nolan.
39:24Yes, sir.
39:26Good night, sir.
39:27Good night.
39:29Can't wait to get out of this uniform.
39:31Thanks again for riding with me.
39:33Are you kidding me?
39:34I wouldn't have missed it for the world.
39:35And now, it's end of shift.
39:38And you are no longer a rookie.
39:42How does it feel?
39:44Unreal.
39:46I mean, everything in my life has been geared towards getting me to this moment.
39:49And now it's here.
39:52I kind of can't believe it, to be honest.
39:54Well, congratulations.
39:57You earned it.
40:07We did it.
40:09No, you did it.
40:13What's this?
40:15It's a copy of your final evaluation.
40:17I wrote it before our shift today.
40:20Like plainclothes day.
40:21Only this time, I didn't have to rewrite it.
40:24Hmm.
40:27Officer Chen impressed me with every decision she made today.
40:31I will miss riding with her.
40:38You don't let anyone ever tell you you can't do something.
40:42Not even me.
40:46Yes, sir.
40:49Step five.
40:50Acceptance.
40:52Our checklist is complete.
40:54Um, I have a gift for you.
40:58It's a thank you.
41:00For every lesson I had to learn.
41:04Should I open it now?
41:06Absolutely.
41:07Mm-hmm.
41:15It's been a blast, sir.
41:18I'll see you tomorrow, Lucy.
41:21Let's meet the world, sir.
41:27Ready to celebrate?
41:28You know it.
41:30Oh, yeah.
41:32It was the perfect way to end over here.
41:35What's happening?
41:36Where are you going?
41:39At home?
41:41No, you're not.
41:42You are coming to dinner with Lila and me.
41:45Uh, that's, that's very nice of you, but I'm okay.
41:48No, you're not.
41:49You feel like a failure because they are moving on and you are not.
41:53But you will.
41:55I appreciate that, but you certainly don't have to take me to dinner out of pity.
41:59It's not pity when you're paying.
42:02Well, how can I say no to that?
42:04You can't.
42:06I'm going to go pick up Lila, reservation is under my name at Mercado, and I expect a skinny
42:12margarita waiting when I get there.
42:13Yes, ma'am.
42:14Mm-hmm.
42:14And, um, thank you.
42:17You're welcome.
42:18You're welcome.
42:23You're welcome.
42:38You're welcome.
42:57Damn it.
