00:14Control 715, we have a structure fire at 8650 Magnolia.
00:18Please notify LAFD.
00:20You think anyone's in there?
00:22Well, no one is supposed to be.
00:24Is that a screen?
00:26Control, what's the ETA and LAFD?
00:28Two minutes.
00:30That's wrong.
00:31Control be advised.
00:32We're going in to look for victims.
00:34Ready?
00:50Help me!
00:55Help!
00:56Someone help me!
00:59Get them into gravity!
01:01That causes them to the sun!
01:03And give them their authority!
01:05And give them their control!
01:08Two!
01:08Oh man, it's a shame.
01:10Get them!
01:11In the sun!
01:12Oh god!
01:13Dude, don't do that.
01:14I can't...
01:15I can't...
01:16Still up!
01:21WOOOOOOOH!
01:29Is there anyone else inside?
01:31I think we saw them.
01:32You shouldn't have gone in.
01:33Well, it's kind of our job, saving people.
01:35From crime, you don't see us running towards gunfire.
01:38You think that's just wood smoke you're breathing in?
01:40All the toxic things in a home, once they catch fire, they turn to deadly gases.
01:44Ammonium, carbon dioxide, hydrogen, cyanide.
01:47So unless you want me dragging your ass to safety in the future,
01:51you'll leave the rescues to the professionals.
01:59How's it going with you two?
02:00Really good.
02:02It's really good.
02:09How is it that I still smell like smoke after a 30-minute shower?
02:12Welcome to my world.
02:13You always smell fantastic.
02:15That's because I spend half my salary on perfumes, potions, and detergents.
02:19Well, it's working.
02:22Do you think that fire was arson?
02:24Maybe.
02:25I smelled accelerant.
02:27The arson investigator will know for sure.
02:29You ever think about doing that?
02:30Arson investigation?
02:31Yeah.
02:32No.
02:32I like the physical part of firefighting.
02:35Plus, I wouldn't have time for all my extracurriculars.
02:37Army reserve, teaching, motorcycle racing.
02:40Dating me.
02:41Dating you.
02:42Motorcycle racing.
02:45What is it?
02:47They found a body.
02:52Carl.
02:53Hey, Bailey.
02:54This is John Nolan, LAPD.
02:56Hey.
02:56He and his partner pulled the survivor out before we got here.
02:59Did you give him the lecture about how stupid it is to go into a structured fire without
03:02a mask?
03:02Care was given and understood.
03:05Any luck IDing the victim yet?
03:07Nah, it's too soon.
03:08There were fifth and sixth degree burns.
03:09But from the size, I'd say it was a man.
03:12And you might want to start referring to him as a suspect instead of the victim.
03:17You think our DB started the fire?
03:18That's what the evidence suggests.
03:20It was right where it started and an accelerant was definitely used.
03:23No way it could have been just an addict falling asleep next to a lick handle.
03:26No, no, no.
03:27That fire got too hot too fast.
03:29So what are you thinking?
03:31That guy we pulled out of there might be able to give us some insight.
03:36So, how's the book?
03:38Terrible.
03:38But who cares?
03:39It's my third maternity leave book.
03:40I've been lucky to average one a year up till now.
03:44Maybe I should extend my leave.
03:45Spend a little more time with Jack.
03:47I think that's a great idea.
03:48Because you don't want me to go back to work?
03:50Because you want me to quit being a detective and focus on what really matters?
03:53Because you think I won't fulfill my mom potential if I'm at crime scenes all day?
03:57Wow.
03:59Where did that come from?
04:00I don't know.
04:03Clearly, I'm a little conflicted about going back to work.
04:07I want you to do whatever makes you happy.
04:11But I do think that it's time to leave the baby home for a night and go on a date.
04:15We'll watch Jack.
04:17Your mom, my mom, or some teenager we pull off the street.
04:21Who cares?
04:22We deserve some alone time.
04:24And some fine dining?
04:25Hell yes.
04:26Fancier the better.
04:27I'm in.
04:35Client, um, a meeting I forgot about.
04:38I'll make, uh, reservations for seven o'clock, okay?
04:43Hey.
04:45I love you.
04:46I love you, too.
04:52Hey.
04:53How's it going with Harper?
04:55I mean, I'm still here, so good, I guess.
04:58She was my training officer.
04:59You're in great hands.
05:00Look, I'm just trying to do whatever I can to keep her from giving me that look.
05:03Oh, the triple D?
05:04Yeah, I know it well.
05:06Disappointment, disbelief, and disdain.
05:08I think she developed it in a lab somewhere to destroy self-confidence.
05:11Yeah, my mom has a version of it.
05:13You think I'd be immune given how often she's used it on me over the years?
05:17Well, Harper uses it on the daily.
05:19I'm still not used to it.
05:20Hang in there.
05:21So I also need you to cover C Division today.
05:24Anything else you need?
05:25Paint your house or clean your car?
05:27I got two roving sergeants for six divisions.
05:31Welcome to your new reality.
05:33That's why you should take on a sergeant's aide.
05:36I don't need an aide.
05:38It's not a sign of weakness.
05:40It's a necessity given how under-resourced we are.
05:43I guess I could use a gopher.
05:45Someone to go for coffee or supplies.
05:48Call whatever you want.
05:49Just pull an officer out of the roll call.
05:51Hell, pull chin.
05:53You two work together good.
05:56Tim is going to ask you to be his gopher.
05:59What?
06:00His what?
06:00His aide.
06:02He stretched a little thin.
06:03Gray suggested he take you on to assist.
06:06Me specifically?
06:07Yeah.
06:08Uh, is there a problem?
06:10No, ma'am.
06:11I'm just excited to hear what new nicknames you came up with for me.
06:14Hmm.
06:15Uh, I've narrowed it down to three.
06:18Um, get out of my face.
06:20Sit your ass down.
06:22Okay.
06:22And I will tell you when I am ready.
06:27I love them all.
06:28Okay.
06:30Triple D.
06:31What was that?
06:32Nothing.
06:32Just sit my ass down.
06:34It's all right.
06:35Settle down, everyone.
06:36Sergeant Bradford, you want to start us off?
06:39Yes.
06:39Um, I'm in need of a gopher.
06:42It won't be glamorous, but it'll be a learning experience.
06:47Webb, how about it?
06:49You ready to get off patrol?
06:50Yes, sir.
06:51Looking forward to it.
06:52You sent me.
06:53I thought.
06:54So, Officer Nolan, so I saw your request to follow up on the man you pulled out of the fire
06:58yesterday.
06:59Yes, sir.
06:59I checked with the hospital.
07:00He regained consciousness.
07:01I thought it would be important to get a statement while his memory was fresh.
07:04So, I agree.
07:04I'll notify Cara Dean for when he assigns a detective.
07:08You're driving today.
07:10Hey, you know I almost qualified to race in the British Grand Prix, right?
07:13I mean, before my troubles.
07:15And you've never known real fear until you go on airborne in a Formula One car.
07:19Yeah.
07:19Try being hunted by a pack of cartel Sicarios, then get back to me.
07:24Okay, that's a story I want to hear.
07:26Nyla!
07:28Hi.
07:30What are you doing here?
07:31Just stop by to ask you to lunch.
07:34It's 9 a.m.
07:36All right.
07:36Sorry.
07:37When your kid gets up before the sun, you lose track of time.
07:41Plus, I was wondering if you could take care of this ticket for me.
07:46Uh-uh.
07:47No, put it away, I can.
07:49I'm going to go set up the shop.
07:50Mm-hmm.
07:51Sorry.
07:52I knew I shouldn't have asked.
07:53Yeah, you also shouldn't have been going 60 in a 30.
07:56What were you thinking?
07:57Then my ex was going to tear me a new one if I was late for my pickup again.
08:01That's no excuse.
08:03Can I take you to dinner this week?
08:05I'd love that.
08:07I want to.
08:12Is that your boyfriend?
08:15You know, I'm just curious to know, um, if I gave off any signals that would make you
08:21comfortable enough to ask me a personal question.
08:25No, the, um, there were none.
08:27There were no signals given.
08:28Um, that's what some people like to call my bad.
08:32Mm-hmm.
08:32Get your ass in the shop.
08:33Okay.
08:34Why would you tell me that Tim was going to pick me when he didn't?
08:37Because Gray told him to.
08:38Then why didn't he?
08:39I don't know, but clearly it bothers you.
08:41No, I just...
08:43It would make a good career opportunity.
08:45As a roving supervisor, Tim responds to all the high-profile cases, and being right there
08:50with him would make me stand out when promotion time comes.
08:53So tell him you want the gig.
08:54Oh, he would just love that.
08:56Being in the position to decide my fate again.
08:59No.
09:00He'll come around.
09:01I just have to give it time.
09:03Because the one thing I know for sure is that Tim is definitely missing me right now.
09:09I can't believe the up made that call, and in the bottom of the ninth.
09:12It was clearly far.
09:13But I know, by like three feet.
09:15But what's the point of his to replay if you're not going to get it right?
09:18Hey, man, you're preaching to the choir.
09:20Hey, you know I get season tickets to the Dodgers and the Angels.
09:23So if you ever want to hit up a game, just let me know.
09:26I'll hook you up.
09:27Don't say that if you don't mean it, because I will call.
09:30Hey, that's the least a gopher could do.
09:32Hey, my man.
09:36Hi there.
09:37Hi.
09:38Mr. Hall, do you remember us?
09:39We pulled you out of the fire yesterday.
09:41What were you doing in the house?
09:42Oh, well, uh, I've been squatting there.
09:47It's a lot safer than being on the streets.
09:49Oh, of course.
09:50How long have you been there?
09:51Since I returned.
09:53From?
09:54Cremulus.
09:55And Cremulus is?
09:57Oh, it's the planet right next to Proxima Centauri.
10:00But no one really knows about it, so please just keep it to yourself.
10:04Oh, I-I think you can count on us now.
10:07Were you there alone?
10:08Did anybody come back with you?
10:10No.
10:11No, those who walk a celestial path are destined for solitude.
10:16But I did hear some voices yesterday.
10:19Okay, how do I put this?
10:21Were the voices inside your head or were they...
10:26In the house.
10:27Ah.
10:28Two guys.
10:30I heard them coming through the back.
10:32I hid so that they wouldn't see me.
10:35And maybe half an hour later, that's when the fire started.
10:42Did you hear what the voices were saying?
10:44Would you recognize them if you heard them again?
10:46No, they were pretty muffled.
10:47And you're sure it wasn't just one man?
10:50Yes.
10:53Because one of them was yelling and the other was crying.
11:02Mr. Stone insisted on waiting in your office.
11:05Of course he did.
11:06He's got a couple shooters with him.
11:08Serious looking dudes.
11:10Feels like a car theft situation.
11:11That's a good idea.
11:14All right, give me two minutes.
11:23Hey.
11:26Counselor, punctuality is a quality I expect from all my employees.
11:31Well, having a newborn kind of throws punctuality out the window.
11:35Need I remind you why you still have a son to dote on?
11:38No, I'm aware of what I owe you.
11:40And yet you spent the last month on paternity leave avoiding paying me back,
11:45which makes me think you're trying to go back on our deal.
11:49No, not at all.
11:51I just think that I'm best used in an unmuddied capacity.
11:55I have been meaning to speak to you.
11:57I have a sterling reputation with law enforcement,
11:59but that only benefits you if I can continue to...
12:00Shut up.
12:03You seem confused about the dynamics at play here.
12:05You work for me now, which means what I say goes...
12:08So sorry to interrupt,
12:10but someone just tried to steal my car from out front.
12:12The police will be here in a minute.
12:14Is that so?
12:17You know, the only thing worse than stealing in my book is lying.
12:26And yet you lie and steal for a living.
12:30What can I say?
12:32I'm a walking contradiction.
12:39Just think about what we just spoke on.
12:41It'd be better for everybody if I didn't have to say it again.
12:53I'm a walking contradiction.
12:54Where are we right now, boot?
12:58San Vicente and...
12:59If you have to look, you don't know,
13:01and Trouble is not going to wait for you to find a street sign.
13:03Got it. Sorry. I will do better.
13:08Mind if I take this?
13:11Whatever you think is best.
13:14Go for Aaron.
13:15Hey, Aaron. It's Quinn from TMZ.
13:17I really need to talk to you.
13:18Disguising your number. Smart.
13:20Look, man, I told you, I'm not interested.
13:22An alert just came in. You should check the box.
13:23I've been calling you all week, man.
13:25I could never reach you.
13:26Hollywood Division is running at 246.
13:29Look, hear me out before you say no, okay?
13:29I've got a really sweet deal for you.
13:31I've got my editor to up the price to 100 grand.
13:34Hey, look, man, I told you, I'm not interested, okay?
13:36Don't call me again.
13:37Uh, did you see the guy in the trench coat?
13:39He might be concealing a weapon.
13:417 out of 19, so for traffic.
13:43I didn't see a guy in the trench coat.
13:45Should I turn around?
13:45Do you think you should turn around?
13:47I mean, did you see a weapon?
13:48Did I say I saw one?
13:507 out of 19, security check.
13:51What was the drive-by shooting vehicle Hollywood was working?
13:54I didn't see.
13:55It came over the radio.
13:58Right, um, I was, I was looking for that guy, possibly considering a weapon, but I will find him.
14:04Suspect's vehicle is a...
14:07All units unable to reach 7 out of 19, last location near Stoner Park.
14:117 out of 100, copy missing officer.
14:13Oh my God, an officer's missing?
14:15Two.
14:16Two officers are missing.
14:18Okay, that's even worse.
14:19Should we look for them, or should we find this trench coat guy?
14:227 out of 100, I copy the missing officer.
14:25Harper, it's Bradford.
14:26You guys code 4?
14:27Code 4.
14:29What's our call sign?
14:327 out of 19.
14:36Oh, we're the missing officers.
14:37Hmm.
14:39That is embarrassing.
14:40Yes, it is for you.
14:41I get a free pass your first week.
14:43All of your many failures are blamed on the Academy.
14:47So what have you learned?
14:49That taking the will is demanding enough, and I shouldn't be adding in personal phone calls into the mix.
14:56Hmm.
14:59There wasn't an armed man in a trench coat, was there?
15:02Hmm, hmm, hmm.
15:06Hello!
15:07Didn't I see you guys on a milk carton?
15:10I don't get it.
15:12Because we were considered missing.
15:15They used to put pictures of missing kids on milk cartons.
15:18Yes, in the 80s.
15:19Yes, in the 80s.
15:20How did I end up to punch like that?
15:21Oh, excuse me.
15:22Yeah, yeah.
15:22Hey, how come Bradford didn't choose Lucy to be his gopher?
15:26I don't know, but she's not being very adult about it.
15:28No.
15:28Um, so, how is it riding with Tim?
15:32Oh, it's been great.
15:33You know, everyone always talks about how tough this arch can be, but we've been having the best time.
15:38Really?
15:39That's awesome.
15:41So, you know, when I was riding with him, I learned some foolproof ways to stay on his good side.
15:46You know, if you want some tips.
15:49Yeah, that'd be great.
15:50Appreciate that.
15:59Let me see your hands!
16:00Let me see your hands!
16:01Get out of the car!
16:02Let me see your hands!
16:03Put your guns down!
16:04Climate security, we got CCW permits!
16:06So we just shot our client through the windshield.
16:08Let's see it clear.
16:11Let's see it clear.
16:13Everybody okay?
16:15Sarge?
16:16Yeah?
16:17I think we got a sniper.
16:18What do you see?
16:20Three shots, scooped tight, high on the windshield.
16:22Searching for the car, well, that's Sarah's sniper is northeast.
16:25Control 7, Adam 100.
16:26We got a shooter with a long gun for 16,000 block of Rochester Avenue.
16:29I need eastbound traffic for veterans shut down.
16:31Get SWAT en route.
16:33Harper Thorson, secure the scene.
16:34Nolan, Chad, Webb, you're on me.
16:36Get a shot!
16:37Get the shot!
16:38Get the shot!
16:39Get the shot!
16:39Get the shot!
16:40Get the shot!
16:40Get the shot!
16:40Get the shot!
16:41Get the shot!
16:41Get the shot!
16:42Get out of the street!
16:42Come on, bro!
16:44Get out of the street!
16:45Get out of the street!
16:45Get out of the street!
16:45Get out of the street!
16:47Hey!
16:47Stop right there!
16:49Take a risk, it's my design.
16:50Y'all was born without a spine.
16:52Wicked and twisted.
16:53Bars are sicker than simply spitting.
16:56Listen.
16:57Only way to stop, I don't breathe again.
16:59You wouldn't stop around here, CBT.
17:08715, taking shots inside 16,000 Rochester parking garage.
17:12People going up, requesting more units to cover the exits.
17:23Get your hands up!
17:27Get out of the street.
17:28You want to come around here, CBT.
17:34You want to come around here, CBT!
17:34You want to come around here, CBT?
17:45See, I gotta admit, I'm disappointed you didn't go after him.
17:48Oh, I was halfway out the window.
17:50Lucy had to pull me back.
17:52Mm-hmm.
17:52This guy's a pro, Sarge.
17:53Put three bullets through tempered glass into a moving vehicle
17:56and still dead-centering his target.
17:58Only a couple dozen people in the world who could do that.
18:00The secondary escape route screams elite training.
18:03Someone paid real money for this guy's services.
18:05You got a name on the target?
18:06Michael Silver, some kind of import-export guy.
18:08Hired a security company a week ago, didn't tell him why.
18:11Or at least they're not sharing with us.
18:13Intelligence unit is running Silver's name to see if he's in their database.
18:16Well, clearly he pissed off some bad people.
18:19Okay, we got an ID on our arson victim, Nelson Crespo.
18:22He's a 35-year-old restaurant manager, a couple of minor drug arrests,
18:25and he has an apartment in Culver City with his wife, Celia.
18:28Sir, we could handle the death notification,
18:30see if Celia might shed some light on what our DB was doing in that house.
18:34All right, go ahead.
18:35I'll have Harper and Thorson work to sniper with Bradson.
18:39Nyla!
18:40Hey!
18:40James!
18:41What are you doing here?
18:43I was picking up a few things for the community center.
18:45I asked the same of you, but I have a good guess.
18:48Yeah, I came for the coffee, stayed for the sniper.
18:52Uh, this is my new rookie, Officer Aaron.
18:55Thorson.
18:56Yeah, I remember your case.
18:59Man, I'm so sorry for everything you went through.
19:01Thanks.
19:02I happen to work with a lot of people who've been wrongfully incarcerated.
19:05It can help to talk to a therapist.
19:07Have some names if you need them.
19:08I appreciate that, but I already go twice a week.
19:11Okay, good.
19:12Well, you are very lucky to have this impressive woman as your training officer.
19:17Don't let her bite scare you.
19:19She got a lot of heart.
19:20Now, why would you go and tell him that?
19:22Just to make your job that much harder.
19:24Uh-huh.
19:24Uh, we are going out again soon, right?
19:27You know it.
19:28All right.
19:29Good.
19:31Take care of yourself.
19:32Mm-hmm.
19:36What?
19:37Nothing.
19:38Good.
19:41Triple D's got ganged.
19:42You?
19:44It doesn't make sense.
19:46Nelson went for a jog to the beach.
19:48What was he doing near Griffith Park?
19:50How did he even get there?
19:51There's evidence that the house he was found in is a place people go to use drugs.
19:55No.
19:56Nelson was clean.
19:58Four years.
19:59Addicts relapse, uh, and-and they lie about it.
20:03I know.
20:03I am one.
20:05If my husband was using again, I would have seen the signs.
20:09Something happened to him.
20:11Promise me you won't just play blame the addict.
20:14I promise you we will follow this case where it leads.
20:20If you can think of anything else, please call us, day or night.
20:24And again, I am truly sorry for your loss.
20:32You think she's in denial?
20:34Maybe.
20:35Should it be nice to get some clarity.
20:37Well, hopefully the autopsy will give us that.
20:40All right.
20:40Thanks for checking.
20:43Intelligence saying that Michael Silver isn't on their radar.
20:46How's that possible?
20:47No way a guy who gets popped by an elite sniper is squeaky clean.
20:50He's got to have some criminal connection.
20:53I'm going to call records.
20:54Maybe they have some information, some-
20:55It's a waste of time.
20:56I'll call LA clear when we get back to the station.
20:58Right.
21:01Weird case, huh?
21:03Oh, yeah.
21:05I'm good with weird.
21:07I'm a manx.
21:10I'm sorry.
21:12You're a what?
21:13A manx.
21:14A manx cat.
21:16It's my feline breed.
21:18It's my cat personality.
21:20What's your cat personality, sir?
21:22Did Chen put you up to this?
21:24Put me up to what?
21:28Whoa.
21:29Oh, with the smell?
21:31Yeah, it smells like month-old eggs and maggot meat.
21:34I mean, you don't have to go in, but this is part of the job.
21:39No, I'm good.
21:40Can I just have a sec?
21:41Oh, yeah.
21:42No, gather yourself.
21:43Because what awaits smells like a septic tank filled with tumors.
21:48Okay.
21:49I see what you're doing.
21:51This is payback for me trying to get too familiar early, but you know what?
21:54It's all good.
21:55I can handle it.
21:57I'm just going to have to cancel my reservation at Eliza and Elektra tonight because there's no way I'm eating
22:02after this.
22:02What, are you crazy?
22:03You have to book that place, like, six months in advance.
22:06I dream of eating there.
22:09You want the reservation?
22:11Seriously?
22:12Yeah.
22:13It's yours.
22:14If you stop torturing me.
22:16Deal.
22:17Yeah.
22:19I mean, the only question is, which boy tour are you taking?
22:23Is he going to be the speed demon from this morning or the upright citizen from this afternoon?
22:28I mean, unless there's a third choice.
22:30No, it's James.
22:31It's definitely James.
22:32Yeah.
22:33But he's probably busy.
22:35Text him and find out.
22:40I don't know.
22:56The vanishing three doubts is the worst.
23:00He's probably going to respond later.
23:03Let's get back to work.
23:10Detective, nice to see you.
23:13Judging by the long sleeves and queasy demeanor, I say you have a new rookie.
23:17Yeah, Dr. Lowell meets Officer Thorson.
23:21Of course.
23:22Now I recognize you.
23:23You know, I have to say that the forensic work in your case seemed pretty solid.
23:27You're lucky the prison set you free.
23:29I'm lucky the appeals court understood that forensic science can be as corrupt as the rest of law enforcement.
23:38First autopsy?
23:39Yeah.
23:40Smear this under your nose.
23:42It'll help with the smell.
23:43I'm surprised your T.O. didn't tell you.
23:45I can't give away all my secrets in the first week, Doc.
23:49So you get anything useful from the autopsy?
23:51Yeah, I found this lodged in his T-4 vertebra.
23:55Seems like it's from a .223.
23:59Yeah, possible .77 grain.
24:02Also known as NATO rounds for the full metal jackets.
24:05Yeah, very heavy and very lethal in the skilled marksman's hands.
24:10Yeah, to make a long-distance shot from a .223 round would require a specialized weapon,
24:15which would seem to confirm that our shooter had military training.
24:20Oh, hey.
24:22Wait a minute.
24:23She gave you the menthol on your first visit?
24:25No, the doc did.
24:28All right, he's all yours.
24:29Let's go get you a ginger ale.
24:32And you're here for?
24:33Uh, Nelson Crespo.
24:34Yes, the burn victim.
24:35You know, you keep running into conflagrations without oxygen masks,
24:39and you'll end up in one of my drawers.
24:40Yeah, we've been told.
24:41So, you got anything on Crespo?
24:43Well, I'm still writing up my preliminary findings,
24:46but I did see something unexpected in his x-rays.
24:49He had a transverse fracture to his left femur,
24:51and compound fractures to his pelvis.
24:54From when the ceiling fell in on him?
24:56No.
24:56Actually, the fractures were perimortem.
24:59Likely occurred an hour before his death.
25:01That doesn't make any sense.
25:02He would have been in agony.
25:04Hmm.
25:04Would explain why he got caught in the fire, he said.
25:06Oh, he didn't say it.
25:08There was no carbon monoxide in his blood or soot in his lungs.
25:11And Nelson Crespo was dead before the fire even started.
25:17Hey, Hope, you and Jane fight the restaurant.
25:19Well, actually, he, uh, he never replied,
25:22so it looks like I will be going by myself.
25:25How about invite the other guy, Alonzo?
25:28No.
25:29Trust me, this place is romantic.
25:31And you're not going to want to eat there alone.
25:37Oh, Harper.
25:39Hey.
25:39Any leads on the sniper?
25:40No, uh, detectives are on it.
25:43Okay.
25:43When you catch him, ask him where he gets his gear.
25:46What are you going to do with a zip line?
25:47You know how far it is to my parking spot?
25:51Oh, Angela.
25:52Ask her about a baby.
25:54Hey, how's Jack?
25:55You can find out for yourself if you come over and babysit.
25:58Both our moms bailed.
26:00It's for you.
26:04Thank you so much for doing this.
26:06Of course.
26:07It's our pleasure.
26:08Where is that little rascal?
26:11Wesley's putting him down.
26:12Oh, look at him.
26:13Aw.
26:15Wait, did you start smoking?
26:16You can't smoke around the baby.
26:18No, please, come on.
26:19No, I walked into a house fire yesterday
26:21instead of waiting for the fire department,
26:23which is what I should have done.
26:25Mm-hmm.
26:26It's turning into quite an interesting case, actually.
26:29At first, we thought the guy who started the fire died in it,
26:32but the autopsy shows he was dead before it started.
26:35Yeah, with a crushed pelvis.
26:36No one knows how he got it or where.
26:38Any witnesses?
26:39A transient with clear mental health issues
26:42that we pulled out of the house.
26:43He said he heard voices before the fire started.
26:45Heard voices or heard voices?
26:47That's what we said,
26:48but given the condition our victim was in before he died,
26:50I think our transient actually heard our killer.
26:52Okay, baby's asleep.
26:54Let's go before he realizes we're gone.
26:55Hi.
26:56Hi.
26:56Bye.
26:56Later.
26:59Don't call us.
27:00Of course.
27:01All right.
27:04So, what shall we do first?
27:06Order food or make out?
27:11Order first and make out while we wait.
27:14See, that's what I like about you.
27:15You're always thinking.
27:17That's what you like about me?
27:18Well, there's more, and I could show you,
27:19but I'm on a schedule right now.
27:21I have to order dinner.
27:21How dare you play hard to guess.
27:24Ooh, and the sweet corn fried rice.
27:26Hell yeah.
27:27And meatballs.
27:29Ooh, two orders.
27:30And ooh, the beet salad.
27:34Thanks.
27:36This is nice.
27:37This is amazing.
27:42Did you hear Nolan talking about his murder case?
27:44It sounded challenging in an interesting way.
27:49Mm-hmm.
27:49What?
27:50It does.
27:51Angela, this is our first date in months.
27:53I know, but what's more fun than dinner and a murder?
27:56I know murder.
27:58Is that Nyla?
28:00I guess that's why she couldn't babysit.
28:02Mm-hmm.
28:09Oh, my God.
28:12Ooh, I think I'm a little underdressed.
28:15Oh, man, it's L.A.
28:16I've seen people wear flip-flops to Michelin-star restaurants.
28:20No one even left.
28:21I'm actually mean somewhere.
28:24Nyla.
28:25Hey.
28:26You know her?
28:28She's my date.
28:29No, she's my date.
28:32Ha-ha, actually, you are both my dates.
28:39Funny story, um, oh, no, she double-booked.
28:42You did not respond to my text.
28:44Yes, I'm pretty sure that I did.
28:47Ew.
28:48Oh, no, um, I guess I never hit send.
28:52And then you called me, your second option.
28:56No, it's okay.
28:58Enough said.
28:59She's all yours.
29:00No, Alonzo, wait, I...
29:01You know what?
29:02I think I'm gonna go, too.
29:03Really?
29:03We can't just stay and have some wine and-and-and talk about it?
29:06No.
29:07I've-I've acted like I'm cool with being one of two guys you're dating,
29:11because I like you so much.
29:14Well, that and I thought one day you might actually pick me.
29:18James, I...
29:18No, it's just-it's a little hard on the ego, so...
29:23Enjoy the rest of your night.
29:26By the way, you look amazing.
29:36Uh, that was brutal.
29:39I'm gonna go invite her to sit with us.
29:41No, wait, what?
29:41Are you crazy?
29:42Let her go.
29:43Forget it didn't happen.
29:46Counselor!
29:48What a nice surprise.
29:51Yeah.
29:52Angela, this is my client, Elijah.
29:56And silent partner in this fine establishment.
30:00Aren't the meatballs to die for?
30:01They're great.
30:03Will you excuse me for a minute?
30:05Of course.
30:08What the hell are you doing?
30:09It is a crime, how easy it is, to hack a baby monitor.
30:19You're making a mistake, threatening us.
30:22I don't make threats, I make promises.
30:24And I always follow through, just like I expect you to.
30:28From this moment on, whatever line I need you to cross, you will cross it.
30:32Whoever I tell you to represent, you'll take them on as a client.
30:35And if I need you to betray their interests and my benefit, you'll do it.
30:39I'll get disbarred.
30:41But only if you get caught, this is what you agreed to trade for your wife and child.
30:48And you do not want to default on this debt.
30:55Oh, and you gotta order the pot de creme.
30:59It's sinful.
31:18If you want the job, all you gotta do is ask.
31:21What?
31:22You sabotaged Webb.
31:24I don't know what you're talking about.
31:26His cat personality?
31:28Well, that's got you written all over it.
31:30Look, if you want me to ride with you, you don't need to make up an excuse.
31:33Just ask me.
31:35So good morning.
31:37Should we have a clearer understanding of yesterday's sniper shooting?
31:41According to the gang unit, the victim had a falling out with Elijah Stone.
31:45So it was a contract killing?
31:47Looks like it.
31:48Gangs put together a list of potential shooters that Elijah might use.
31:52We ran it against military personnel records and came up with a dozen names.
31:57And you guessed it.
31:58Detectives want patrol to do the initial canvas.
32:01So let's get to work.
32:04Oh, oh, one more thing.
32:06Sergeant.
32:07Yeah, um, I've decided to spread the love and give someone else a chance to be my gopher today.
32:17Smitty, you're up.
32:18Seriously?
32:19I'm sorry, you have something to add off to you?
32:21No.
32:23It's her.
32:24All right.
32:26That's it.
32:26Be safe out there.
32:30Sarge.
32:32The job doesn't require any heavy lifting, right?
32:35I've got a tricky bag.
32:37No.
32:38No lifting required.
32:39Including the war bags, right?
32:40Yes, Mitty, I'll get the bags.
32:45How was the restaurant?
32:48What happened?
32:49They both showed up.
32:51Oh, no.
32:52Oh, yes.
32:53Yesterday I was dating two cute guys, and today, zero.
32:58Well, it had to end at some point, right?
33:01I mean, if you cared about one of them, you would have made a decision a while ago.
33:04I liked the freedom.
33:07It was fun being able to take it slow.
33:10What?
33:13But I just, I can't get the look on James' face out of my head.
33:23And who's our next contestant?
33:25Aiden Merritt, 32, one tour in Afghanistan, followed by six years as a private contractor.
33:30Any priors?
33:31A couple domestic complaints in Houston, an ex-girlfriend, but nothing since he moved to LA.
33:37I don't know.
33:37Aiden Merritt?
33:39Yeah.
33:40That's me.
33:41What were you doing yesterday at noon?
33:43That's an ominous question.
33:45Um, why do you want to know?
33:47There was a sniper shooting yesterday.
33:48Oh, yeah, yeah, no, I did see that in the news.
33:50And because of my background, uh, yeah, I get why you want to see me.
33:54The answer to your question actually has some irony to it, though,
33:57because yesterday afternoon, I was actually at the gun club downtown.
34:01Oh, that's good news.
34:02You got any proof of that?
34:03Um, I might, uh, I might still have a receipt for some ammo I bought.
34:08I could go look.
34:09Mind if we step inside?
34:11Uh, yeah.
34:12Yeah, I do.
34:13But I'll be right back out.
34:20I am getting a vibe.
34:21You getting a vibe?
34:21Big time vibe.
34:24Smart about that alibi, though.
34:25Gives him a reason to be in the vicinity.
34:30Lucy, I'm looking at a rifle.
34:32That gives us probable cause.
34:38I told you to wait outside.
34:40Sir, I need you to show us your hands.
34:44Come on, man, this is a mistake.
34:45I got the receipt right here.
34:46Yes, sir, and we will get to that.
34:47But right now, my partner asked you to show us your hands.
34:51You really don't want me to do that?
34:53Yes, we do.
34:54Nice and slow.
34:57Okay.
35:02I already pulled the pin in the bedroom.
35:04I was planning to frag your car when you got back in Split Town before the smoke cleared, but...
35:09Yeah.
35:11Now you've forced the issue.
35:12You didn't survive a tour just to die like this.
35:15It's better than going to prison.
35:17Now, put down your guns.
35:20Or we can all learn what shrapnel tastes like.
35:25Okay.
35:27Fine, you win.
35:28What are you doing?
35:29You're a better shot than me, but I'm a little quicker on my feet.
35:32Nolan?
35:33You got a better plan?
35:34What the hell are you two talking about?
35:36A fuse on a grenade takes approximately four seconds to detonate.
35:39He thinks if I shoot you in the medulla, he'll have enough time to grab the grenade after you drop
35:43it and throw it outside before it explodes.
35:45Nolan?
35:46Actually, I was planning on kicking it back into the house.
35:48Where he probably has more grenades?
35:51You're right.
35:52Change plan.
36:13Spoon still attached.
36:14We're good.
36:16What?
36:17It worked.
36:19Seven out of fifteen.
36:20Requesting backup and a supervisor on our location.
36:24And the bomb squad.
36:25Please, can you take that outside while we wait?
36:27That's right.
36:27Seven out of fifteen.
36:28We're also gonna need a bomb squad.
36:34Hello?
36:35Where the hell are all the baby monitors?
36:37Um, I threw them out.
36:40What?
36:41Why?
36:42There was a safety recall fire hazard.
36:45We can get new ones.
36:46Higher tech.
36:48Okay.
36:48Good catch.
36:52Babe, I gotta go.
36:54The secretary wasn't at her desk, so I figured I'd just pop in.
36:59Yeah.
37:00Sure.
37:01What can I do for you?
37:02I'm loving this new attitude, counselor.
37:04It's just the right balance between confidence and obsequiousness.
37:11I need you to deliver this to your new client.
37:16What new client?
37:37I'm Wesley Evers.
37:38I'll be representing you.
37:39It's about friggin' time.
37:43Give it to me straight.
37:45How screwed am I?
37:48Well, we'll get to that.
37:51First, I have something for you.
37:55Ah.
37:57He hesitates.
37:58You must be new to working with our friend.
38:01Still in that phase where you think you have free will.
38:04Let me guess.
38:05You took an oath to uphold the law and not break it?
38:08So now you're torn.
38:09Do you possibly aid an abetic crime by giving me whatever's in that envelope?
38:14I mean, the very act of passing it to me is a likely ethics violation, which could get you disbarred.
38:21And yet, you wouldn't be here if you had a choice, would you?
38:41Actually, it's for you.
38:52You're lucky.
38:53You failed one of Elijah's tests, you end up as fertilizer.
38:57So, how do you plan to get me out of this mess?
39:13How's it going, Sarge?
39:16Fine.
39:18How come Smitty's not doing the paperwork?
39:23He claims to be allergic to paper.
39:26It's not funny.
39:27You should have just asked me.
39:30I was doing you a favor.
39:33How? By telling the entire station that you would rather ride with Smitty than me, your old boot?
39:38Look, some would see it as a demotion for you.
39:41Back with your training officer.
39:43Others might read something else into it.
39:48Why? Because I'm a girl and you're a boy?
39:51A very handsome boy.
39:53Oh, gag. Look, I really appreciate the intention.
39:56But screw what anyone else thinks.
39:59Being a sergeant's aide would...
40:01Go for it.
40:03Aide would make me stand out come promotion time.
40:07That alone makes it worth putting up with your Tim Tests and old-school code of honor again.
40:15So are you saying you want the job?
40:17If you're saying you want me to do it.
40:24What the hell? Let's do it.
40:26You get here an hour before roll call tomorrow and I'll get you up to speed on all the new
40:29protocols.
40:30Will do.
40:34You're welcome.
40:35Good luck with your paperwork.
40:41James.
40:45What are you doing here?
40:47Well, Aaron asked me to come by, said he needed to talk to me.
40:50That was a lie. I'm straight at playing matchmaker.
40:53Boo, I'm gonna...
40:54Hold on, hold on. I'm just trying to do what I can to fix the mess that I caused.
40:57You were kind to me yesterday when we met, so I feel compelled to return the favor.
41:01The second that I offered Detective Harper my reservation, she invited you.
41:07And when you didn't respond, she was gonna go alone.
41:10But I pushed her to invite the other guy.
41:14You know how close to the vest she plays things.
41:16I could still see how upset she was when she saw that she hurt you.
41:20So, maybe...
41:23I don't know. Give her a second chance.
41:25I'll see you tomorrow.
41:27Okay.
41:32Is that all true?
41:34Yeah.
41:38I'm sorry. I messed everything up.
41:45Okay.
41:46Okay.
41:48You can take me to dinner.
41:50I can.
41:51Yes, you can.
41:52Okay.
41:54But, if there's anything on the menu that I need to Google to figure out what it is, I'm walking.
42:00No. You're not gonna have that.
42:02Can't do that. Refuse. Refuse.
42:04I've been thinking about your arson case.
42:06You killed someone, you set a fire to cover it up.
42:08That's a pretty standard move.
42:10What's strange is the broken bones.
42:13So, I ran a search and found two recent unsolved cases with similar MOs.
42:17Both in Nevada, both suffered broken legs before dying in a fire.
42:21Three murders with the same twisted MO.
42:24We've got a serial killer on our hands.
42:26And download it with this darkissed MOUN.
42:56I'll see you next time.
