00:05Previously on The Rookie.
00:06Someone should really run against you.
00:07You could.
00:08It's Aaron Thorson.
00:09TikTok famous before he got arrested for murdering his roommate.
00:13Officer Thorson was found not guilty.
00:16I've been thinking about your arson case.
00:17I ran a search and found two unsolved cases, both in Nevada, both suffered broken legs before dying in a
00:22fire.
00:23We've got a serial killer on our hands.
00:27I can't wait to hear this story.
00:29This isn't what it looks like.
00:30It looks like you're creating a falling hazard in the middle of a public park.
00:35Yeah, that part's exactly what it looks like.
00:36The question is why.
00:38I lost my keys.
00:39Sir, is this yours?
00:40Yeah, actually.
00:41Can I get the back?
00:42If gold's your goal, then take a stroll.
00:45Let angles point you here.
00:48Sir, are you digging for buried treasure?
00:51If I say yes, are you going to arrest me?
00:52No.
00:53Since you haven't done any real damage to city property, we will cite you and let you go.
00:57But you need to fill this hole back in.
00:59Okay.
01:00Yes.
01:01It's a treasure hunt.
01:02I'm sorry to think there's no treasure down here.
01:05You know that says angels, not angels, right?
01:09Man.
01:10Man, I've been digging all day.
01:16Is that coming?
01:17Real damage?
01:18Yeah.
01:18I'm afraid it does.
01:21I think it.
01:21I think it.
01:27He was wrong about the location.
01:29That doesn't mean the treasure map is a hoax.
01:31No common sense means the map is a hoax.
01:33Plus, it's not even a map.
01:34It's a poem.
01:35Okay, you scoff, but the internet is taking this very seriously.
01:38Mm-hmm.
01:39You want me to list other things the internet takes seriously?
01:42Point taken.
01:42I'm just saying it's worthy of an investigation.
01:44What?
01:46Smitty, I didn't think he could stoop so low.
01:49You need a new slogan, anyway.
01:51I do?
01:51Yeah, definitely.
01:53And a new poster while you're at it.
01:55I mean, this kind of feels a little middle school.
01:58No offense, sir, but I mean, you need a cooler picture, better graphics, maybe a QR code to link your
02:03campaign website.
02:04You do have a campaign website, right?
02:06I will as soon as you become my new campaign manager.
02:09Are you sure?
02:11I mean, this is a lot of responsibility, and you've only known me a few weeks.
02:14Man, I'm already impressed.
02:16Plus, you want to tip the scales of justice, make a difference.
02:20I plan on shaking things up around here.
02:22You should be a part of that.
02:23And you know publicity.
02:25Yeah, bad publicity.
02:26That's the spirit.
02:27All right, I want to see new design ideas by tomorrow.
02:30Yes, sir.
02:34Jerry McGrady.
02:36Hmm.
02:37Guy's been a cop since E.T. phone home.
02:39Yeah.
02:41I'm out of options on how to assign him.
02:43Now, I put him behind the front desk.
02:45He spends an hour with each and every person that comes in.
02:49Well, he's not any better in the kit room.
02:50Every time he lifts a war bag, I worry he's going to stroke out.
02:53He needs to retire.
02:54Yes, he does.
02:56And that's what I want you to talk to him about.
02:59Is that part of my sergeant's training, or are you trying to avoid being a bad guy?
03:03A little bit of both.
03:04But wait, hey, it's a difficult conversation.
03:08No.
03:08No, it's not.
03:10Look, Jerry's seen it all.
03:11Well, he's done it all.
03:12The best thing to do is to show him respect and be straight up.
03:15And if he pushes back, his injury will make it easy to retire him with an involuntary disability.
03:20Young Mr. Thorson, how's the training going?
03:23Great.
03:24Or terrible.
03:25I mean, only Detective Harper knows for sure.
03:28Well, next time I see her, I'll ask, report back what she says on the DL.
03:32I'd appreciate that.
03:34Look, I know the program is stressful.
03:36But I hope you're making time for your personal life.
03:39Netflix and I are closer than ever.
03:42Seriously.
03:43Learn from this old man.
03:44It's easy to let the job become your whole life.
03:49Let me help you with that.
03:52Thanks.
03:55There you go.
03:56All right.
03:57Hope you don't need him today.
03:59Yeah, me too.
04:01Jerry?
04:02Sergeant Bradford.
04:04How you doing?
04:04I'm good, Jerry.
04:06You have a second to talk.
04:07Of course.
04:08I always knew I'd be working for you one day.
04:10What you went through in your early career could have taken down a lesser man.
04:14But you handled everything with grace, like a true lawman.
04:17And this old man's proud of you.
04:20Thanks, Jerry.
04:21So what can I get you, Charlotte?
04:22You just name it.
04:22Well, it's actually what you need, Jerry.
04:25Are you sure you're okay working kit and room duty?
04:28I mean, you're carrying a lot of injuries, and I just want to make sure you're out for the daily
04:32aggravation.
04:33I'm fine.
04:33I get to see everyone.
04:35I get to hear stories.
04:36It makes me feel like I'm still part of it, you know?
04:39Yeah.
04:41Yeah.
04:42All right, look, Jerry.
04:43I'm just going to be straight with you.
04:47What do you say you ride with me today?
04:49Seriously?
04:51It would be an honor.
04:53Great.
04:54You get your vest on, and I will see you at the shop.
04:59How'd it go?
05:01You're going to want to assign someone else to cover the kit room.
05:05Jerry's riding with me.
05:08What happened to the cold, hard truth?
05:10I got this.
05:11By the end of the day, he'll be buying a boat.
05:13I promise.
05:17Hey.
05:18Hey.
05:19Any update on that serial killer?
05:20The lab isolated the acetone he used as an accelerant at both fires.
05:23It's called instant strip, but the manufacturer discontinued it last year.
05:27Why?
05:28Why what?
05:28Why did they discontinue it?
05:30I used to use it all the time when I was contracting.
05:32I just want to make sure I'm not going to get cancer or anything crazy, because I'll just Google that.
05:37What about that victim that Harper rescued?
05:38The last thing he remembers is getting hit by the killer's car, then waking up in the hospital.
05:44Hey.
05:46Thought I was coming to see you.
05:48We were in the neighborhood.
05:49John, Angela, this is Lieutenant Fred Mitchell.
05:52Nice to finally meet you.
05:53I'm looking forward to your barbecue tonight.
05:54Yeah, should be fun.
05:55Bailey tells me you have intel you want passed around to the fire crews.
05:59Yes.
06:00So far, you know that our guy is targeting ex-addicts, and he's killing them in abandoned buildings.
06:05Our operating theory is that he scopes the buildings out first, but we don't know how he targets them.
06:10So far, he's picked a house in foreclosure and a condemned warehouse across the city.
06:14What's the deal with the gold watch?
06:16That belonged to our first victim.
06:18It's possible the killer took it as a trophy.
06:20Maybe he'll leave it behind at another fire.
06:21It's a long shot, but if your people see anything, just let us know.
06:25That's all you have?
06:26No, but it's all we're releasing right now.
06:28Well, if I lose a firefighter because you withheld something important, I'm going to be pissed.
06:32We'll keep you in the loop on everything you need to know.
06:36Okay.
06:39Fred's a good guy.
06:40He's just a little direct sometimes.
06:43No problem.
06:44Hopefully, the flyer will get us a break in the case.
06:46See you later.
06:48Okay, quick, before you go, what can I bring tonight?
06:50Nothing.
06:51Fred puts out quite a spread.
06:53Thank you for saying yes again.
06:55I know it must feel like you're meeting my ten older brothers who will do nothing but judge you all
06:59night long.
07:00But?
07:00There's no but.
07:01Oh, okay.
07:02I do have to bring something, though.
07:04I can't arrive and be handed.
07:06Fine.
07:06Bring flowers.
07:08Perfect.
07:09Flowers I can do.
07:10Bye.
07:12Hey.
07:14Assignment changed.
07:15Tim is riding with Jerry McGrady, so I'm with you.
07:17Get from McGrady?
07:18Why?
07:19I'm past the point of asking.
07:20Okay.
07:21Well, no, that's good.
07:21That's great.
07:22Actually, I can tell you all about the treasure map we found.
07:24Treasure poem that we found.
07:26Puzzle?
07:27First thing we do, we decide what to call it.
07:32That used to be a Woolworths.
07:33And right there, that's the first place I ever got stabbed.
07:36How many times were you wounded in the line of duty?
07:3821.
07:39Nine stabbings, two gunshots, four broken bones, three teeth knocked out, and two torn hamstrings.
07:45That's, uh, that's 20.
07:48Right.
07:49Food poisoning, 2007.
07:51Last time I let Smitty pick a restaurant.
07:56You know, all that wear and tear.
07:57Got to make it hard to put the duty belt on in the morning.
08:00It's a righteous pain.
08:02Control, seven out of 47.
08:04We are code four on the parking dogs.
08:07That guy sounds like Junior Gammas.
08:09You remember him?
08:10Junior, yeah.
08:11You, uh, you still in touch with him?
08:14Not since he died.
08:16What about, uh, what is it, Buddy Kepler?
08:19Yeah, you remember Buddy, he was just a, whoa, he was nuts.
08:22What about his, Buddy's brother Frank?
08:24He was even worse.
08:25Yeah.
08:27Buddy passed at 0-9.
08:29Frank, 2014.
08:33Oh, man.
08:35It's great being out in the streets again.
08:39Hey, I gotta wait for my client and lock-up to sober up before they can question her.
08:45Wanna grab lunch?
08:45I can't.
08:46I inherited a case from Burns that goes to trial next week and I need to start prepping.
08:50Hmm.
08:51I've never been to court for a case that wasn't mine.
08:54And Burns can't fly in from New Mexico for the trial?
08:56I called.
08:57She yelled, I'm retired and hung up.
09:00But if you're free later, it'd be great if you could walk me through a cross-examination.
09:04Sure.
09:05I'll go easy on you.
09:06Hell no.
09:07Put me on the stand.
09:08Give me your worst.
09:09Oh, you can't handle my worst.
09:11Bring it, pretty boy.
09:12What do you think of roses?
09:13A little predictable, but a timeless symbol of love and romance.
09:17Wait, is it Bailey's birthday or something?
09:19No, not for her.
09:20Uh, her boss is having a barbecue tonight.
09:23Okay.
09:23I should bring something else?
09:24I mean, to a firefighter's house?
09:27Yeah.
09:28Beer.
09:29And someone put a lot of effort into this, although the rhyme scheme is a little loose.
09:35If gold's your goal, then take a stroll.
09:39Let angles point you here.
09:42The guy we arrested thought it said angels, not angles.
09:45He won't be the last one to make that mistake, although angle isn't necessarily a noun.
09:51Oh!
09:52Uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh,
09:54uh, uh,
09:54Santa Monica Pier.
09:55That's our first stop.
09:56How do you know that?
09:57Just trust me, we gotta head over there.
09:59Okay, but if we find the money, I get half.
10:01Of the zero dollars we'll be allowed to keep?
10:03Yeah, deal.
10:04Ooh!
10:05I think this line refers to one of those coin-operated beam finders.
10:10You might want to intervene.
10:11They tapped into their inner Neanderthals.
10:13How does he own the force?
10:15Oh, hey, police, now!
10:18Oh!
10:18Oh, my God!
10:19Oh, my God!
10:21Oh, my God!
10:21Oh, my God!
10:21Hotel 7 out of 15, 7 at RHL, location, victims of a woman, 30, encampment to her chest.
10:26He's not conscious, not breathing.
10:32This poem was posted on Reddit two days ago, and it's the reason why a young mother is laying
10:37in the morgue right now.
10:38People are only going to get crazier hunting for the treasure.
10:41So, Nolan was right.
10:42I'm sorry.
10:42If you say that again, I can record it.
10:43People actually think that this will lead them to buried treasure?
10:47Yes, because Stuart Packer claims to be the author.
10:50Why does that name sound familiar?
10:51He pulled the Joseph and Wells robbery back in 03.
10:54Ronnie Wick was the lead detective.
10:56I was there when they brought Stuart in a little snot.
10:59He wouldn't tell us where he hid the gold coins.
11:01Gold coins?
11:02Yeah.
11:03Nearly two mil worth.
11:05We never recovered the coins.
11:06The city's losing its minds.
11:08I mean, we were getting flooded with calls of people climbing the Hollywood sign,
11:10diving into Echo Park Lake.
11:12All right, we need to find this gold and to end the chaos as quickly as possible.
11:17Now, Chin, you deciphered the first clue.
11:20How'd you do it?
11:21Well, it first clicked when I realized that angle could mean fish hook.
11:28The pier is a favorite fishing point, and fishermen are also called anglers.
11:32Nerd.
11:32What?
11:33Don't let him shame you.
11:34That was a great catch.
11:35Thank you, Jerry.
11:36Okay.
11:36What about the rest of the stands?
11:38Next, find the lens through which you'll spy the West Coast's greatest view.
11:44I mean, the lens is obviously the viewfinder at the pier.
11:48Yes, and this next line, the fee you pay refers to the fee of the viewfinder, which is 75 cents.
11:53So we just need to change 75 into a year.
11:57But what century?
11:58That could be 1775?
12:00It's 1975.
12:01It's the year of the rabbit.
12:02Call me a nerd.
12:03I dare you.
12:04Well, the poem states, the fee you pay becomes the year of rabbit minus two.
12:09So 1975 minus two is 1973.
12:12Okay, okay, okay.
12:14What does it mean?
12:151973 could be the accommodation of a safe, the number of a storage locker.
12:19Uh, it's not going to make sense until we solve the second stanza.
12:22The third stanza says that once we put those two clues together, we will find the gold.
12:27Harper and Chen, I'm putting you in charge of solving this.
12:30Uh, sir, I have been known to solve a Times crossword, uh, once or twice in my day.
12:35Well, I'm sure they'll let you tag along if you ask nicely, Nolan.
12:39Thorson, you're riding with me the rest of the shift.
12:41Everyone, be vigilant out there.
12:45Hey, uh, you guys want in on this task force?
12:49Because I can make that happen.
12:51Cute.
12:52Jerry and I, we're going to solve this with good old-fashioned police work, not literary analysis.
12:57Damn straight.
12:58I'd love another shot of Stuart.
13:00Smug little bastard.
13:02Care for a friendly wager?
13:03Who finds the treasure first?
13:06You're on.
13:07If we find it first, you have to stay quiet in the shop for an entire shift.
13:12Okay, uh, and if we win, you have to do something completely out of your comfort zone.
13:17My choice.
13:20Enjoy your little poetry club.
13:22Enjoy reviewing 18-year-old evidence from a cold case.
13:24I hear those are super easy to crack.
13:26Do you honestly think that my client murdered his wife and then stuck around waiting to get caught?
13:30It's not about what I believe.
13:31The facts are that he was holding the murder weapon in his hand when officers arrived.
13:36Cops have a saying, don't they?
13:38The husband always did it.
13:39Everyone has that saying.
13:41Right.
13:41So you and all the officers working on the case went in assuming my client's guilt.
13:45That's not fair.
13:46I agree.
13:47Police bias is never fair.
13:48Did you even bother looking for another suspect?
13:51I mean, the victim's estranged business partner didn't have an alibi.
13:54The business partner wasn't found at the scene holding the gun.
13:56Well, according to my client, in his panic, seeing his dead wife, he picked up the murder weapon.
14:00Did you even bother checking the second layer of prints?
14:03Of course.
14:03Came back.
14:04No match.
14:04And did you run the prints, both orientations?
14:13No, Detective Burns did not.
14:16I need to go run those prints.
14:18Thanks for helping.
14:19I wasn't too hard on you, was I?
14:20Part of me wanted to slap you.
14:22The other wanted to jump your bones.
14:24Oh, me too.
14:26God, I love us.
14:27Who knew Pete would go so mental over buried treasure?
14:31Sure.
14:32Clearly you did, Stuart.
14:34And the question is, why start a treasure hunt?
14:37Are you really looking to give away your stash, or are you just trying to get on the news?
14:40You've been talking about me all morning.
14:42It's pretty cool.
14:43Wishing you'd use a better picture, though.
14:45Did you see that a woman was killed because of your poem?
14:48No, that wasn't part of the plan.
14:49That was just a fun bonus.
14:50Yeah, you pretend to be a tough guy, Stuart.
14:53But Ronnie Wick told me you wept like a baby when he put the cuffs on you.
14:56Yeah, your buddy's full of crap.
14:59Drove him nuts and never gave up where that gold was.
15:02Didn't it?
15:03I heard he kicked it a few years back.
15:05That sucks he never got that closure.
15:08Look, Stuart, you got your thrills.
15:12All right, now I can get you upgraded to the nicest cell in here.
15:16Maybe even get the DA to knock a few years off your sentence.
15:18Just tell us where the gold is.
15:22Sure.
15:23Give me something to write on.
15:39Here's where I hit it.
15:43The DA can always add a few years, too.
15:46Oh, you don't know, do you?
15:49I'm terminal, pancreatic cancer.
15:53Karma's a cruel mistress.
15:54When they denied my request for a compassionate release, I realized I'd never get to spend my hidden fortune.
16:01So I decided to let chaos rain down on the city of angels.
16:08Guard.
16:09All done here.
16:21Jerry, you weren't just around when Stuart got arrested.
16:23You were friends with the lead detective.
16:25Look, I want to take you down to the scene of the robbery.
16:27I want you to walk me through everything you remember about the crime, even what the city looked like back
16:31then.
16:33This is it.
16:34Joseph and Wells' rare coins.
16:37At least it used to be.
16:39All right, so Stuart pulls up in a stolen getaway car, parks there, goes in, grabs the gold, comes out,
16:46jumps back in his car, doesn't start, so he flees on foot.
16:49But we apprehended him 12 hours later near Western and Melrose.
16:53Even if Stuart was on foot the whole time, he could have covered quite a bit of ground.
16:57Now, the original search grid has him going west.
17:01Because 90% of suspects turn right when exiting a building.
17:06Oh, man.
17:09I think Ronnie messed up back then.
17:11Today, when Stuart wrote up your ass, he used his left hand.
17:16Meaning it was more likely Stuart went left after the robbery.
17:18Yeah.
17:19The original search grid was way off.
17:21Let's go.
17:22Oh, damn it.
17:23Tim just texted me.
17:24Him and Jerry just had a big breakthrough.
17:25Oh, he's just trying to get in your head.
17:27Ignore him.
17:27I agree.
17:28Focus.
17:29Watch the stars of Hollywood influence from their spheres.
17:32Stars of Hollywood.
17:33What are we thinking?
17:34Can't be movie stars.
17:35That's too obvious.
17:37A monument to rebels gone.
17:39Are they dead?
17:40Is it a cemetery?
17:41The Forest Lawn Cemetery?
17:42They do mention lawn.
17:44Okay.
17:44Well, we have monuments, dead rebels, and darkness's edge.
17:48That could be a cemetery.
17:49Yeah.
17:50But what about these spheres?
17:52Where are they influencing from?
17:54The heavens, the stars?
17:56Oh, wait.
17:57That's it.
17:58Stars, spheres, celestial objects, heavens.
18:03Griffith Observatory.
18:04Yes, and the observatory was in the movie Rebel Without a Cause.
18:07They even have a bust of James Dean's head up there.
18:10All right, the rest we can decipher later.
18:13Wait, wait, hold on.
18:13I've got to text him and tell him we are about to kick his ass.
18:29James Dean's bus is just up this way.
18:33Offsters.
18:36Looks like we need to F our game.
18:39Seriously.
18:40He's got to be in it to win it.
18:44He's got a bomb!
18:48Hey!
18:49Hey, stop!
18:51Stop right there!
18:55I know this looks bad, but if you'll just let me blow up that wall, I can finally prove to
19:00my wife that I was right about something.
19:01Sir, you need to drop the bomb right now.
19:04Guys, chill.
19:06I know what I'm doing.
19:23These damn treasure hunters are packing dynamite now?
19:27The deceased is a special case, sir.
19:28Why are you yelling?
19:29Sorry.
19:30My ears.
19:31The explosion was loud.
19:33The deceased had access to demolitions because of his job at a quarry in Oregon.
19:36They're coming all the way from Oregon?
19:39That's it.
19:40We need to lock down this location, cut off access to any more gold seekers.
19:43Now, how close are you guys to figuring out the poem?
19:45We're at a bit of an impasse, sir.
19:47The second stanza states that the next clue is only visible in early morning light.
19:52The longer this goes on, the more dangerous it becomes.
19:55I need the gold found.
19:56I need y'all to stand back, okay?
19:58Stay back, stay back.
19:59Thank you for your service.
20:01Sorry.
20:02I know that's usually for the military.
20:03I just, uh, I appreciate you guys.
20:07And I know you don't usually get to hear it.
20:09No, uh, thank you.
20:10That means a lot.
20:11I'm Cleo, uh, Officer Thorson.
20:14Erin.
20:15Nice to meet you.
20:18Can I buy you dinner?
20:19I'm so sorry.
20:21I'm sorry.
20:22I should not be bothering you.
20:23That just slipped out.
20:24No, no, no, no, no, no, no.
20:25Uh, dinner sounds good.
20:27Um, but it's on me.
20:30Actually, can I get your number?
20:33Yeah.
20:37Text me later.
20:38Yeah, for sure.
20:41So, congratulations.
20:43You just had your first contact with a badge, buddy.
20:45A what?
20:46A woman who's attracted to the uniform only dates cops.
20:49So, I recognize her.
20:51She dumped Officer Haspel a month ago,
20:55Sergeant DeFern, in May,
20:57and Officer Williams, I believe, a year ago.
21:01That's a relief.
21:02I thought maybe she had, like, a podcast or something
21:04that was only interesting because of my past.
21:06Thanks.
21:07What's the plan for tomorrow?
21:09Yeah, look, about that, uh,
21:11we need to have a conversation.
21:13Hey, Dad.
21:15Hey, what are you doing here?
21:17Your car's in the shop, remember?
21:19You asked me to pick you up.
21:21Right.
21:21Sorry.
21:22It's been a busy day.
21:24This is my daughter, Ashley.
21:26Tim Bradford.
21:27Nice to meet you.
21:28He's been texting me all day about you.
21:31It really meant a lot to him to be back out on the street.
21:36Would you like to join us for dinner
21:38as a thank you for today?
21:42I couldn't.
21:43Yeah, you can.
21:45My daughter makes a mean takeout,
21:47just like her old man.
21:51Sure.
21:53Yeah, sounds nice.
22:00I told you to bring flowers.
22:02Yeah, I know.
22:03How'd you know I was here?
22:04I went to get napkins.
22:05I saw you pull up.
22:06Hey, John.
22:07Glad you could make it.
22:08Thanks.
22:08I brought beer.
22:10Actually, this is a sober gathering.
22:12A couple of guys are in recovery,
22:14and we decided as a family to honor their struggle.
22:17That is very thoughtful,
22:18and probably why Bailey suggested I bring flowers.
22:21Well, I do love flowers.
22:22I'm just going to put this in the truck.
22:25Appreciate it.
22:30Okay.
22:31We have until dawn tomorrow
22:33to figure out this next passage,
22:35but no pressure.
22:37Okay, look,
22:37a monument to rebels.
22:39It's plural,
22:40so it can't just mean James Dean.
22:42What other statues are nearby?
22:45Okay, there's one on the front lawn
22:46of six prominent astronomers.
22:49I mean, scientists ahead of their time
22:50could be seen as rebels.
22:52Is one of them Sir Isaac Newton?
22:55Yeah.
22:56What are you thinking?
22:58Uh, following a great man's path,
22:59his first law as your guide.
23:01So we start a Newton statue
23:03and follow his path in a straight line.
23:05Until darkness's edge, you find it.
23:07So we walk until we hit darkness?
23:09A shadow.
23:11That's why we have to start
23:12an early morning light.
23:13Otherwise, the shadow
23:14won't be in the right place.
23:16There it is.
23:17Ooh!
23:17Wow.
23:18You know,
23:19riding with you today
23:20was the highlight of Dad's year.
23:23Hell, his last five years.
23:25Yeah, I don't get it.
23:27Most cops who stay on the job this long,
23:29they don't have anything else
23:30waiting for them,
23:31but I'm sure you'd love
23:32to be able to spend more time with them.
23:34Because I've got nothing going on
23:35in my own life.
23:36No, no, that's not what I...
23:38You relax.
23:38It's a joke.
23:40Ah, no one ever gets my jokes.
23:43I guess I'm just used to jokes being funny.
23:45I guess that's why I got confused.
23:46Fushed.
23:50Honestly, I think my dad regrets
23:53not retiring 15 years ago
23:55when he was still on the street.
23:57Like all his buddies did.
24:07Oh, hey, Bailey.
24:10Good to see you.
24:10Hey, Marcus.
24:11This is my boyfriend, John.
24:13Hey, nice to meet you.
24:13And you.
24:14Hey.
24:14John's a cop.
24:16Oh, that is impressive.
24:19He's very impressive, isn't he?
24:20Thank you for that.
24:21And how do you fit in here?
24:23Oh, I just live across the street.
24:24Marcus is the best neighbor.
24:27Whenever I'm at the station for a stretch,
24:28he keeps an eye on my place.
24:30Waters my plants,
24:31eats all my ice cream.
24:32Okay, that happened one time,
24:34and I will never hear the end of it.
24:35He ran off to Nevada over the summer
24:37for like two weeks.
24:38He left his fridge full
24:39of chocolate mint fudge.
24:42What am I supposed to do?
24:43That sounds like extenuating circumstances.
24:46I'm sorry.
24:46I don't think a jury would convict.
24:47Hey, no one ice.
24:50There's more in the garage fridge.
24:52I'll go grab it.
24:53Thanks.
25:18Hey, the reoriented prank
25:20came back as a match
25:21to the business partner.
25:22Burns arrested the wrong man.
25:24Yes.
25:24See, I knew that guy was fishy.
25:28Wait, did I just exonerate...
25:30We?
25:31Did we just exonerate a man
25:32who wasn't even my client?
25:34I knew I was good, but damn.
25:39Nolan, what's up?
25:40I'm at Bailey's lieutenant's house,
25:42and I just stumbled upon
25:43a case of acetone,
25:45just like the kind of arsonist uses.
25:47Lots of people use it.
25:48Yeah, I know,
25:49but I just found out that Fred here
25:51was in Nevada over the summer.
25:53Do you know what month?
25:54Because if we can put him there
25:55at the time of the second event of murder...
25:57He didn't say.
25:58I can try and find out.
25:59Would that be enough to get a warrant?
26:00No, we're going to need more.
26:02We'll need to do a deep dive on this guy,
26:03find something beyond circumstantial evidence.
26:05Okay.
26:06And what should I do?
26:07Do about what?
26:09Uh, I'll call you back.
26:11Hey there.
26:11I was, uh, just grabbing the ice.
26:15Do about what?
26:17Oh, nothing.
26:18John, why are you lying to me?
26:25All right, so here is the great man,
26:29Sir Isaac Newton,
26:31and his path along the shadow.
26:34And then what?
26:34The Ancho family.
26:37The Ancho family.
26:38Who are they?
26:44Cover it.
26:49So much for no one having the next clue besides us.
26:53I know Fred.
26:54He's not a killer.
26:55He spent all yesterday handing out those flyers,
26:58talking to other lieutenants at other houses,
27:00asking them to spread the word.
27:02Does that sound like the actions of a guilty man?
27:04It doesn't, but there's enough circumstantial evidence to warn an investigation.
27:08Because he was in Nevada this summer, or owns acetone, which he uses for woodworking, by the way.
27:13I know this is hard.
27:14If he's innocent, then we can eliminate him as a suspect,
27:18and then we'll just be that much closer to the truth.
27:19I know you're doing your jobs.
27:22I get it.
27:22Just do it fast, okay?
27:24I gotta get to work.
27:25You can't breathe a word of this to Fred or anyone else.
27:29I won't.
27:33Okay.
27:34Sound what you think.
27:36For some variety, I went in two completely different directions.
27:39Those are amazing.
27:40I love them both.
27:41Huge improvement.
27:42Yours were terrible.
27:44That's fair.
27:44This is...
27:45Can I have a copy of each of those?
27:46Want to send to my son?
27:47Yeah.
27:47You give me the go-ahead, and I'll print up 100.
27:49Absolutely.
27:49Go ahead.
27:51Sergeant Gray said you had an assignment for me.
27:53This is my suspect, Fred Mitchell.
27:56Get a good look.
27:56You're going to hunt for him online.
27:58Easy.
27:59Don't get cocky.
28:00Fred has no social media footprint.
28:01But most of his friends and coworkers do,
28:04so use them to document everywhere he's been,
28:06especially last summer.
28:08Where the hell did he stash the gold?
28:10We'll figure it out, all right?
28:11Our plan is solid.
28:12We'll cross-reference our new search grid
28:13with every location in that file until we find it.
28:15I don't know.
28:17It's going to take a lot of days, Sarge.
28:20A cop like me doesn't have many of those left.
28:23Yeah, about that.
28:25We need to have a frank conversation.
28:27Get the hell out of here.
28:28Excuse me?
28:30I know where the gold is.
28:32Wait.
28:33For real?
28:34You're sure?
28:35Absolutely.
28:37Oh, we are going to win this bet.
28:41So the Ancho family, who are they?
28:44Not sure.
28:44But the next step is to put the first clue with the second.
28:47So these...
28:48Sorry, guys.
28:49I have to take this.
28:51Hey.
28:51I checked Fred's work schedule.
28:53Bailey.
28:53I know, but it was easy to do and no risk.
28:57And what did you find out?
28:58He was on vacation when the murder in Nevada occurred, but that doesn't mean anything.
29:01I will tell Lopez.
29:03Then what?
29:04Then about a thousand other steps.
29:06Investigations take time and paperwork and patience.
29:09What kind of evidence do you need to get a warrant for his house?
29:12Something that would give us his exact location.
29:15Receipts.
29:15Credit card statements.
29:18Okay.
29:18I gotta go.
29:19I'll talk to you later.
29:20All right.
29:22Everything okay?
29:23Yeah.
29:24I hope so.
29:24Where are we?
29:25No one in the Ancho family died or was born in 1973.
29:29Okay.
29:29Then what if it's not a year?
29:30What if it's an address?
29:331973 Ancho Street.
29:34Oh, wait.
29:35It says in the poem, the two clues translate.
29:39Ancho means width in Spanish.
29:42So wide, deep, broad.
29:461973 Broad Street.
29:47That's right here.
29:48That's downtown.
29:50It's a dress shop.
29:51If you seek true happiness, you must look within.
29:55Does the dress shop have a base in it?
29:57Um.
29:58Oh, the red car.
30:00It's the original subway in Los Angeles built in the 1920s.
30:03It's right underneath that shop.
30:11Wow.
30:13I never even knew this place existed.
30:15It's been shut down since the 50s.
30:18It's a perfect place to stash gold.
30:21You got here first.
30:22That gold is mine.
30:24The palm is all the way to find gold.
30:26You did.
30:26I saw you were at the observatory.
30:29Behind me.
30:30I would have better to find you.
30:31You thought you could just follow me here and steal my treasure?
30:33Oh, it's fair and loving gold, my man.
30:35Now tell me where the treasure is or you're dying in this tunnel.
30:38Dude, you brought a shelter to a gunfight.
30:47Nolan, stay with him.
30:53Control, seven out of 15.
30:56All right.
30:57All right.
31:23Let's go where she knows.
31:23I know ing
31:24Whoa.
31:26He's running.
31:27Yeah.
31:29Seven out of 50.
31:30Flipper suit on the bolt subway tunnel.
31:32Heading south.
31:43Control, item 100.
31:44Go ahead and cancel that backup call.
31:46We're code four.
31:48How did you guys get here so fast?
31:49We were already here.
31:51Did you?
31:52Find the gold.
31:53Let's see.
31:55What?
32:09My gold.
32:10I was so close.
32:12Yeah, not really.
32:13How did you guys even end up down here?
32:16Jerry found it with a file.
32:17It said in there that Stuart's sister works at the Bonaventure Hotel up the street.
32:21And their parking garage has access to all these abandoned subway tunnels.
32:25Yeah, so Jerry thought Stuart might have known about it from his sister and stashed the gold down here.
32:29The entrance was sealed a few years back, but I sweeped off the maintenance guys, so they opened up and
32:34let us in.
32:34Me and Jerry win.
32:35No, we would have been here first, but we had some police matters to deal with.
32:40Great.
32:41Good job.
32:41We still won.
32:42Nope.
32:42We're going to call it a tie.
32:45What?
32:45No way it was a tie.
32:47100% a tie.
32:48Oh.
32:50I wish Ronnie was here to see this.
32:53I bet he'd have been proud you were the one who closed it.
32:56Yeah, not too bad for an old-timer, huh?
33:00You did great.
33:03Look, Jerry, just, it's my time.
33:09It's my last day on the job.
33:16Thank you, Sergeant Bradford.
33:19For what?
33:20I feel awful.
33:22No, no, no, no.
33:23You could have pushed me out on an involuntary disability, but no.
33:28You let me go out the way I came in, working the streets on my last patrol.
33:39Thanks.
33:41Yeah.
34:27Damn it.
35:12I'm going to let you go.
35:30I don't know.
35:51John, I was searching for Ed's house.
35:53You what?
35:54Yeah, let me later. He's here now and I'm trapped.
35:57Sit tight. I'm nearby.
36:21I'm here now and I'm here now and I'm here now.
36:28I'm here now and I'm here now and I'm here now.
36:58And you stopped by to say hi?
37:00Yeah, and say thank you for the party last night. We had a great time.
37:05Sure. You're welcome.
37:08Fred, I also wanted to ask you about Bailey.
37:15What about her?
37:16Well, I'm an old school guy and both of Bailey's parents being gone, you are about the closest thing she
37:23has to her father.
37:23Stop.
37:24If you are about to ask for my blessing to marry Bailey, don't say another word.
37:29You may be old school, but Bailey is as modern as they come and she would not appreciate you talking
37:33to me before talking to her.
37:35Sure. You're absolutely right. I don't know what I was thinking.
37:39I think you really helped me dodge a bullet there.
37:42I've taken enough of your time. Thank you very much.
37:45Sure.
37:46John.
37:48Good luck.
37:50Thanks.
37:59That was so stupid.
38:01Tell me about it. I mean, you want to marry me after only dating a month?
38:04I had to say something to distract him and now I am going to yell at you.
38:07Fred has a victim's watch in his office and a whole lot of other things that look like trophies.
38:13You can use that to get a warrant, right?
38:15Yes, I can.
38:17I thought I was going to prove him innocent.
38:28So, how was the date with the badge money?
38:31Well, with all due respect, sir, her name is Cleo.
38:35Okay, let's not label her.
38:36Last night, actually, she was open and honest about only dating cops,
38:39so we shouldn't judge her just because she has a type.
38:42You know, you're right. I apologize.
38:44How was your date with Cleo?
38:46It was fantastic.
38:47She's great.
38:48She thinks I'm great, and we're actually going out again tonight.
38:52I'm glad you found someone who's not put off by your past.
38:58Actually, I don't think she knows who I am.
39:01You didn't tell her?
39:02And you think that's fair?
39:03I mean, she told you about her thing, but you don't want to keep her in the dark about your
39:06thing?
39:06It's just...
39:09It's been a long time since someone's liked me for me.
39:11I understand, son.
39:14But she's going to find out about it sooner or later.
39:17So, who do you want her to hear it from?
39:21Yeah.
39:23I'll, uh...
39:24I'll tell her tonight.
39:26Good man.
39:29Imagine what that stuff is worth now.
39:30Oh, I can't get up.
39:35Hey.
39:38What are you doing here?
39:40Tim called.
39:42I'm so proud of you.
39:46All right, folks.
39:47Attention, please.
39:49Turn your handpacks to the district channel.
39:52I need to worry about for a second.
39:55Okay.
39:55Hey, Jerry.
39:56Yeah.
40:00Control 7 out of 100.
40:02I am privileged to announce the retirement of Officer Jerry McGrady, badge number 9944.
40:09After 43 years and nine months of service, this concludes his final shift.
40:15Officer McGrady, you, sir, are end of watch.
40:19Congratulations.
40:33It's been an honor serving this great city all these years.
40:43So, take care of her now that I'm gone.
41:11That was really beautiful.
41:14That was really beautiful.
41:17Dad won't forget it.
41:18Maybe I'm a lie.
41:19It was my honor.
41:22Your dad is a hell of a guy.
41:26You know, maybe I could step by the house sometime, see how he's handling retirement.
41:30That'd be great.
41:31And maybe you and I could grab dinner sometime.
41:36Even better.
41:52Judge signed off on the warrant.
41:54I really don't think you should be here for this.
41:56Tough.
41:57Hey, remember you said you don't run towards bullets, so I shouldn't run towards fire?
42:00Well, there could be bullets, so I need you to stay-
42:03Well, there could be bullets, so I need you to stay-
42:31Yeah.
42:45Damn it.
42:46You
