00:11Hey.
00:11Hi, so here's what I'm thinking.
00:13It's April Fool's Day, which means nothing counts, right?
00:16April Fool's is tomorrow.
00:17It's 12.01.
00:17And if we play our cards right, we can use April Fool's Day as a hall pass.
00:22We're not actually together, but we can pretend we're together,
00:25as an April Fool's Day prank, just for today.
00:28And if anybody raises a flag, we'll say, surprise, it's an April Fool's joke,
00:33and everyone will laugh, and we can...
00:35Uh-huh.
00:37Okay, wow.
00:38I've clearly been doing April Fool's wrong my whole life,
00:41so we're not actually together, but we're making out a secret like we are together,
00:45so what's the prank?
00:45Do you want to talk about April Fool's Day, or do you want to take your pants off?
01:00Oh, you get my email?
01:02You mean the one with the subject Ben Dover case?
01:04Yeah, not the most original April Fool's joke.
01:05It's not a joke.
01:06Dover's a real defendant who demanded a speedy trial nine days ago.
01:10Peters was handling it until he landed in the hospital with a severe case of food poisoning.
01:13So you're telling me that I have to go to trial tomorrow for a murder case I've never heard of
01:16because Ron Peters ate bad paella.
01:18Uh-huh.
01:19And that's not an April Fool's joke.
01:20I hate you.
01:21I know.
01:22But this will pass, and then we'll go back to being besties.
01:24Uh, my wife's my bestie.
01:26Ugh, boring.
01:32Officer Nolan.
01:33Yeah.
01:34I'm your new rookie, Connor Craig.
01:35Oh.
01:36Nice try.
01:37Yeah, I don't, uh, I don't fall for April Fool's prank.
01:40No, sir, no.
01:41It's not a prank.
01:43I just transferred over from West Valley.
01:44I've been training with, uh, Sergeant McAdams the last whole month.
01:47Oh.
01:48Yeah, it's a good story.
01:49I would have gone with six months because nobody transfers divisions with one month left
01:53in their probation, and you should have picked a different TO.
01:56McAdams is a department legend.
01:58That makes your prank easily disprovable.
02:01Yes, sir.
02:02All valid points if I were joking.
02:06Which I'm not.
02:09He's not joking.
02:10It's a last-minute transfer, and I forgot to tell you.
02:12My bad.
02:13Mm-hmm.
02:14Mm-hmm.
02:15Mm-hmm.
02:17Do I seem like a fan of tomfoolery I've seen on?
02:19No, sir, but that could all be part of your master plan.
02:22A five-year-long con to make me believe that you're not into pulling pranks, just to bring
02:26this on me now, which seems less and less likely now that I explain it.
02:29Exactly.
02:31Rather than looking to get for what's in the mouth, you should be doing backflips.
02:35Craig's record is exemplary and spotless.
02:38All you have to do is not screw up for the next 30 days, and you will be credited for
02:42turning
02:43out a second top-notch rookie.
02:45Yes, sir.
02:46So don't screw up.
02:47He said that already.
02:48Hmm.
02:56How exactly are we pulling this prank off?
02:58Exactly like this, just sitting a little closer than we normally are.
03:06Hey, there's no chance Gray is pranking me with this rookie, is there?
03:09No.
03:10No, Gray hates pranks as much as I hate.
03:13Mediocrity?
03:14Subtitles?
03:15The designated hitter?
03:16Reasons?
03:17Are you implying I'm a hateful person?
03:19Yes.
03:20All right.
03:21Today is April Fool's Day, by far the most annoying day of the year.
03:26So with Officer Penn out for trial prep, Sergeant Bradford will be your go-to supervisor for
03:32the day.
03:32And for the news, Officer Nolan has a new rookie.
03:36Stand up, say your name and badge number.
03:40Officer Connor Craig, badge number 382610.
03:43Officer Craig trained under legendary Sergeant McAdams and earned top marks.
03:49But as we know, training isn't over until it's over.
03:52All right.
03:53Let's get to it.
03:54Be safe out there.
03:59I'm sorry.
04:00I'm nervous.
04:01My last CO didn't really let me drive much.
04:03But it's the required element of your training.
04:05Right.
04:06He did enough to evaluate me, but driving was his domain.
04:10Okay.
04:11Well, he was a legend, so I guess I'll defer to his judgment.
04:14But I still have to evaluate you fully.
04:16Of course.
04:17All right.
04:17Let's start with traffic stop procedures.
04:19Head north on La Brea.
04:21Closer we get to sunset, the more likely we are to find someone driving like a fool.
04:25Cool.
04:25That's right.
04:26No.
04:27North is left.
04:30Okay, I think I am seeing why McAdams didn't want you driving.
04:35Sorry.
04:41What?
04:42Nothing.
04:45Nothing.
04:47It's just, uh, you're glowing.
04:50I'm what?
04:51Your aura.
04:52It's...
04:53You had sex.
04:55I did not.
04:57I did not.
04:59I did not.
05:01You had sex with him today though, so thank you.
05:03Okay.
05:07What?
05:08Nothing.
05:09It's just, I noticed your hand touched him at roll call.
05:12Is that how you think sex works?
05:13Uh-huh.
05:15No, but seriously, I mean, you can trust me with your secret.
05:17We're roomies.
05:18No, I...
05:18I know.
05:19I know that.
05:20But, seriously, nothing...
05:22Nothing is going on.
05:25Okay.
05:34I'm sorry, but I can't do that.
05:36What's going on?
05:37Apparently our social media intern posted that it was parking ticket amnesty day.
05:41Just bring in your ticket and all will be forgiven.
05:44We have a social media intern?
05:45Not for long because I'm going to kill her.
05:47Okay.
05:49Everybody listen up.
05:50If you are here because of the amnesty post, it's an April Fool's joke.
05:53What?
05:54Okay?
05:54You still have to pay your tickets.
05:55Now, the good news is you're in the right place to get that done.
06:00Really?
06:02Thanks, but a whole new line is going to start up again as long as that post is up.
06:15Are you the social media intern?
06:18If you're looking for help setting up a TikTok account, it's not my job.
06:21Definitely not.
06:22Look, social media is the worst of us.
06:23I'm here because you posted that it was parking ticket amnesty day on the LAPD account.
06:28Fire, right?
06:29No, not fire.
06:30Unless it's the kind you have to put out.
06:31Who approved this?
06:32Hmm.
06:33Captain gave me a long leash to increase our social following.
06:36Ergo.
06:37Ergo.
06:38You made a promise we can't keep.
06:40Look, once parking tickets are issued, they're in the system.
06:42They can't legally be waived, which means you pissed off a bunch of people who are taking
06:45it out on us.
06:46Okay, can I offer a suggestion?
06:47No.
06:47Your whole vibe needs work.
06:49Yeah, there's like an art to giving criticism.
06:51I like to start with a compliment, then gently deliver the note, and then end it with a compliment.
06:55Like a little feel good sandwich.
06:57Delete the tweet.
06:57Now.
06:58Oh, no.
06:59No, no, no, no, no.
07:00A dirty delete will get us canceled.
07:01But I can issue an apology statement with something cute.
07:05Fine.
07:06Get on it.
07:08Couldn't put an email.
07:09My God.
07:11Joe!
07:12Hey.
07:13Wesley.
07:14I heard you're taking over the Bendover case.
07:16Literally fell into my lap.
07:17I'm just trying to get up to speed, but I would love a continuance.
07:19Oh, I'm sure you would, but there's not a chance in hell.
07:22My client has a right to a speedy trial, and if you can't provide that, then you're violating
07:26his rights, and the judge will dismiss the case.
07:28Oh, right.
07:29You're smiling because you smell blood in the water because I only have the rest of the
07:31day to make sure your client doesn't walk.
07:34100%.
07:34Mm-hmm.
07:35See, being a public defender is a thankless, bad-paying job with few wins against a DA's
07:40office that punishes the poor and loves to rub my nose in the mud at every turn.
07:44See, your distress is a rare moment of karmic joy that I would have brought popcorn for
07:50had I known in advance.
07:51Mm-hmm.
07:52But, uh, hey, you want to cut your losses and save the rest of your day, then drop the
07:57charges.
07:57I can't.
07:58It's murder.
07:59There's an eyewitness.
07:59What about a plea deal?
08:00Nope.
08:01My guy's innocent and adamant to have his day in court.
08:04Okay.
08:05See you there bright and early.
08:07I've definitely been bringing popcorn.
08:14Angela, hey.
08:15Mm-hmm.
08:17I need to ask you a favor.
08:20All right.
08:21Oh, I have seem to drop my pin.
08:25Sorry.
08:26One sec.
08:26I thought I...
08:27Hey, you called for backup?
08:28No.
08:29Witnesses.
08:33You are definitely being pumped.
08:35Right?
08:36There is no way this is a rookie with 12 months of training.
08:39Maybe he's just nervous about impressing you.
08:41You know, not first time training with a new T.O.
08:44You are?
08:45Easy as pie.
08:46Okay, well, this is...
08:47This is all wrong.
08:48Oh, yeah.
08:49You made that ticket out to yourself.
08:52Oh, shoot.
08:54Uh...
08:54I'm sorry.
08:56I'm a little rusty.
08:57My last T.O. wasn't into traffic enforcement.
08:59My bad.
09:00Not nerves.
09:01Good luck.
09:01But you were gonna...
09:02Gotta go!
09:06Where are you going?
09:08Oh, right.
09:09Sorry.
09:09Won't have it so hard.
09:12Seven Adam 15.
09:13I have a 415 family.
09:153107 Avon Street.
09:17Male and female in the verbal details to your box.
09:19Seven Adam 15.
09:20Sure something.
09:23Okay, tell me you've handled domestic disputes before.
09:26I've handled domestic disputes before.
09:28Okay.
09:30But...
09:30But for reals, I haven't.
09:32Then why would you tell me?
09:33Well, you told me to tell you.
09:35But I'm excited to experience my first with you.
09:38What do I need to know?
09:40Okay.
09:41Cops like to use acronyms to remember things.
09:44And today, you're going to learn the gambit.
09:46The G-M-B-I-T of domestic disputes.
09:57It's always a good idea just to stand to the side just in case of potential incoming gunfire.
10:01You think he's gonna shoot us?
10:02No.
10:03But you should do things the right way every time.
10:05That way the moves become automatic.
10:07Knock on the door.
10:07Police!
10:08Open up!
10:13What do you want?
10:14Wait.
10:15Did you call him?
10:16No.
10:17No, baby.
10:17I would-I would never.
10:20Uh, sir, we received multiple calls about a disturbance.
10:23We just wanted to make sure that everything was all right.
10:25We're fine.
10:26And you're not coming in my house without a warrant.
10:28Now, the first step in gambit is G.
10:31Get inside.
10:32Now, explain to the gentleman we don't need a warrant to investigate domestic violence
10:36and that we hate to disturb him, but by law, we can't leave until we resolve this.
10:41What if he slams the door on us?
10:43Well, then we would have to destroy the door and probably arrest him.
10:50You got two minutes.
10:57You two look so familiar.
10:59Have we met?
11:00I'm a-a friend of James Murray and his wife, Nyla.
11:03Teddy and I were at that fundraising gala last month.
11:05That's right.
11:06Children of the fallen.
11:07And you had a drunken altercation with Sergeant Bradford.
11:11All right.
11:11Now we are in the house.
11:13Step two is M.
11:15Make it safe.
11:15Do you see anything unsafe?
11:20You know, someone, not you, Teddy,
11:23might use that bottle as a weapon, which would mean we would have to use force.
11:27So let's not have that.
11:35I am so sorry.
11:36He just lost his job, and it's been a really tough week.
11:39Tough week.
11:40You don't have to tell everybody on our business all the time.
11:42Which brings us to B, as in, be observant so that we can, I, investigate.
11:48Teddy has clearly had too much to drink.
11:49Anita is upset.
11:51Why don't you go talk to her and figure out what happened?
11:55No.
11:55Just go talk to her alone.
11:58Walk behind me.
12:00Stay where I can see you.
12:04Hey, don't say nothing about nothing.
12:06Cops trying to jam me up in my own house.
12:09You're new, huh?
12:11Let's talk about you.
12:12What's going on?
12:13We're here to help.
12:14He just gets drunk, then mad at the world.
12:18Everybody else did him wrong, and nothing is his fault.
12:20He's, he's never hit me, but he scares me, and I am so tired of being scared.
12:28Well, look, we can take care of him today.
12:30But if this continues, you can, you can always call us.
12:34We also have resources to help you if you decide when you want to get away from him.
12:40Yeah.
12:41Which brings us to T for take appropriate action.
12:44What do we have, Officer Gray?
12:45Negative 2735, but she wants him to leave.
12:49She's afraid.
12:49Well, she's just gonna have to be afraid, then.
12:52It's not a crime to tie one on in my own house.
12:55I know my rights.
12:56We are simply concerned that you are a danger to yourself or to others.
13:01So you're gonna have to come with us, no criminal charges,
13:04just to see a nurse so you can sober up and cool down alone.
13:08Officer Craig, search Teddy for weapons and escort him to the shop.
13:12Hey, don't touch me. I'll pay your salary.
13:17That changes the taking action part of it.
13:21Now there will be criminal charges.
13:24And that is the gambit of handling a domestic disturbance.
13:28Nah.
13:31I don't understand. On paper, the kid's a rock star trainee.
13:35All his daily observation reports are signed off.
13:38Craig's checklist is practically complete.
13:40Yes, sir. And yet there are significant holes in his training.
13:44His officer's safety and his perception of danger are nonexistent.
13:48He struggled with a basic traffic citation.
13:51I find that hard to believe.
13:52McAdams is a highly respected FTO.
13:55I know, but I am telling you, sir, there is no way Officer Craig is going to be ready in
13:59a month.
13:59Hell, he may not even make it to the end of the day.
14:04So what do you want me to do?
14:07It's ultimately your call.
14:08But I would think carefully before bouncing him.
14:11You trained a stellar first rookie.
14:13But if you're handed an LAPD Legends trainee and he fails in a week,
14:18the captain might think the problem is you.
14:22Understood.
14:25And you're sure this isn't a prank?
14:27No, I'm sorry.
14:30But if it was...
14:33I'm on it.
14:35Why are we here?
14:36Instead of the Ben Dover lead investigator.
14:39I left two messages for Detective Berman that he has not returned.
14:41And I do not have time to wait.
14:43I have to decide by tonight whether I am going to trial or dropping charges.
14:45But as a thank you, I'm ordering lunch in from Red Public.
14:48Oh, well, you should have led with that.
14:49As you can see from the file, our victim Frank Horbolt was killed in the parking garage of his office
14:53building.
14:54Now, the eyewitness, a maintenance worker, claims to have seen Ben Dover following Horbolt out of the elevator
14:59and returning alone five minutes later and dropping something into a garbage can.
15:03The police later found the murder weapon in that same trash can.
15:06Is there a relationship between Dover and the victim?
15:09No, they work in the same building but no direct contact.
15:12So your whole case basically rests on the believability of your witness?
15:15Yep.
15:16She's in there waiting to talk to us.
15:18Come on.
15:21Hey.
15:24Um, I-I was told that I wouldn't have to testify.
15:30Told by who?
15:31Detective Berman.
15:32He said that, um, the killer would take a plea deal. No sweat.
15:35Why are you nervous about testifying?
15:37I'm not. I'm just... Berman said that...
15:40Forget about what Berman said. Let's talk about your testimony.
15:42You said that you saw Ben Dover follow Frank Horbolt into the garage.
15:47There were a few minutes between them, but Berman said that...
15:50Hold on. Did Detective Berman coach you on what to say in your testimony?
15:54No. No. No. It's just he, um, defined coach.
16:00Okay. You know what? Just, um, let's give us a couple minutes.
16:08You should drop the case. She'll get killed in a cross-examination.
16:11Okay, but is she lying or did Berman just shape her testimony to be more definitive?
16:14Neither is good.
16:17Will you talk to Berman?
16:19Forget it.
16:20Look, if I do it, he's gonna shut down, and I don't have time to pressure him.
16:22I have to make a decision in a couple hours. I need to know if this case is winnable.
16:26We'll do it for a price. A spa weekend for me and my partner.
16:30And when you say my partner, you mean my wife.
16:33Unless she thinks that we should give her husband a freebie.
16:36Oh, hell no. Mm-hmm.
16:38Two-bedroom suite at Malibu Beach Resort while the men watch the children.
16:43Okay.
16:44Mm-hmm.
16:50I don't understand. Am I in trouble?
16:52No, I just need to speak to your old training officer about some deficits in your training.
16:56Hi. I'm looking for Sergeant McAdams. His station says he's here taking some statements.
17:00He's in the ER.
17:01I memorized the Rook book. Go ahead. Ask me anything.
17:04Yeah, it's not about the rule book. It's about a failure to translate words into actions.
17:11There he is.
17:12All right. Just stay here. Okay?
17:15Say hi for me.
17:16All right.
17:20Sergeant McAdams.
17:22Yeah.
17:22John Nolan from the Mid-Wilshire station.
17:25Okay.
17:25Yeah.
17:25I was hoping to ask you a few questions about your old rookie, Connor Craig.
17:29You as an ATL?
17:30I am. And I've noticed some gaps in his training. You heard it cause trouble?
17:36No, sir. No, I'm just... I'm looking for some clarity. I mean, you are a legend in the department, and
17:43this kid spent a year with you, but he has no practical understanding of the job.
17:54Look, I was supposed to retire last year. Stayed on as a favor to my captain. Craig shows up. He's
17:59got no instincts, no fire, no command presence.
18:01Why not just bounce him?
18:03And go out on a loser? Finish my career on a fail? No way. So I carried him.
18:08Only took low impact calls. I got the seniority to pull it off, so...
18:12Only you did chicken out in the end. You forced the transfer, so that you wouldn't be the one who
18:16put an untrained cop onto the street.
18:20You got no right to judge me.
18:23Actually, I do. Because I'm the cop who could have been killed today on a domestic. Because the kid you
18:28sent me doesn't know enough to have my back.
18:38Did you say hi back?
18:42Are you gonna bounce me?
18:43Honestly, I should. Instead, I'm gonna give you the rest of the day to prove that you are worth the
18:50risk. Do not make me regret it.
18:54Okay.
19:01Knock it off!
19:05It isn't right. You have to let us go.
19:08What's going on?
19:09He's not honoring our get out of jail free cards.
19:11That's not a thing.
19:13Then why is it on the LAPD's social media account?
19:16What?
19:30What the hell were you thinking?
19:32Raising your voice in the workplace is a sign of weakness, not strength.
19:35You posted get out of jail free cards.
19:37Oh, I couldn't just delete the parking ticket tweet. I mean, that screamed scandal.
19:40Okay.
19:41So, I retracted it with something that is clearly a joke.
19:44Not to the growing number of criminals and holding demanding we release them.
19:47This is not funny.
19:48No, how dumb people are is always funny.
19:50It's clear on the post it's an April Fool's joke.
19:53See, it says April Fool's, this is not redeemable.
19:55In tiny print no one can read.
19:58Okay, Boomer, go find your glasses.
19:59I'm sorry, Boomer?
20:00This is not my fault.
20:01Those Delulus didn't even scan the QR code.
20:04If they had, they would have seen this.
20:08Okay, you know what?
20:08Your reckless behavior has cost us department time and resources.
20:11And the fact that you keep making excuses lets me know that you don't see why that's a problem.
20:14You're fired.
20:15You can't fire me.
20:16I'm a civilian employee.
20:17You're right.
20:18You've been fired by the Office of Support Services.
20:20And they were happy to let me be the one to tell you.
20:22So pack up your stuff and be grateful you're not leaving this room in handcuffs.
20:27You don't have to be so mean about it.
20:33Hey!
20:34What the hell are you guys up to?
20:36Let me guess.
20:36You must be Berman.
20:37Oh, like you don't know.
20:38Look, we get why you're not happy, but the DA's office had us assigned to this case when they couldn't
20:42get into contact with you.
20:44Yeah, well that's not how things work and you know it.
20:46What, you think I don't know who your husband is?
20:47Okay, why don't you just take a deep breath before you say something you're gonna regret?
20:51Why don't you go screw yourself?
20:53Okay, that's enough of that.
20:55We didn't set out to jam you up, but we've been inside your case for five minutes and it's a
20:59hot mess.
20:59So we're gonna go inside and talk to the victim's widow and try to get some clarity.
21:04We were gonna invite you, but now you can go screw yourself.
21:09Is the widow really inside waiting to talk to us?
21:12No, I just wanted to see his face when I said it and he looked panicked.
21:15The question is why?
21:23I'm sorry, okay?
21:24It took longer than I thought to get you bailed out.
21:26I would've never been in there in the first place if you hadn't sold me out.
21:29Baby, please, I didn't sell you out.
21:32I just...
21:33Sometimes you can get a little scary.
21:35Get over it.
21:37Look, you are so weak.
21:40Give me the damn keys.
21:44Today.
21:49She bailed him out.
21:51How many times do I have to tell you about this damn seat?
21:54Why would she do that?
21:55People in abusive relationships often do things that are against their best interests.
22:00He looks more angry than when we arrested him.
22:02What should we do?
22:04You gave her that card for victim resources, right?
22:06You told her she could call them or us at any point?
22:09Yeah.
22:10Yeah, I even circled the one Sergeant McAdams said we're the best.
22:13Best we can hope for is that she uses one of them.
22:17People are gonna make their own choices.
22:20We're here for when they make bad ones.
22:31Wow, we never even did this when we were actually together.
22:34Well, that's because we didn't have a deadline.
22:35Okay.
22:37Midnight, right?
22:37Yes, please.
22:38Do you think it's been long enough?
22:40Yeah, I think a little longer.
22:46We should really get back to work and do things.
22:50Things?
22:51Yes, things like crime.
22:52We need to stop crime.
22:53Okay.
22:54Do you insist?
22:55I do.
22:55I do insist.
22:57Get your shirt.
23:00Hi.
23:01Hi.
23:02Hey.
23:04Uh, we should get back out there.
23:06Yeah.
23:06I mean, unless you and Tim need to discuss something in private.
23:09No, I think we covered everything.
23:10Yeah.
23:12Okay, ladies.
23:15Uh-oh.
23:17What?
23:19A social media intern I just fired posted this.
23:22City of Los Angeles, for the next three hours, all crime is legal.
23:25Go nuts and don't call us.
23:27Peace sign, emoji wearing sunglasses.
23:29Peace sign.
23:32Here we go.
23:35Libby posted the purge alerts across all social media platforms before changing the passwords,
23:40and we can't take them down until IT hacks into the accounts.
23:42Which could take hours.
23:43I mean, people have to know this is a joke.
23:45Most people will see it that way, but there are plenty that won't.
23:48911's already getting swamped with calls.
23:50Looting, robberies, and a host of assaults.
23:52All right.
23:53We're on city-wide tactical alert with mandatory holdover until further notice.
23:57In progress crime against persons are priority one.
24:01Refer all property crimes to online reporting.
24:0410-7 reporting will be held until end of shift.
24:07How bad is this gonna be?
24:09Pretty bad.
24:10The police told me I could do it on the internet.
24:12It's not gonna stand up in court.
24:13But there will be lawsuits, especially from the crime victims who claim that their injuries
24:16were caused by the LAPD posting this.
24:18Bottom line is this.
24:19Make sure your arrests have all the criminal elements, your evidence is solid, and your reports
24:24are spotless.
24:25Okay.
24:26Everyone's ten-eight.
24:26Be safe out there.
24:31I'm gonna leave you here at the station.
24:33What?
24:33No.
24:34Officer Craig, you remain a wild card with serious officer safety issues.
24:40I can't go face whatever craziness is about to jump off while I have to be worried about
24:44you.
24:45Well, with all due respect, sir, that's your job as a training officer.
24:49I didn't realize that I wasn't being fully trained before, and that's on me, but you said
24:54we'd spend the rest of the shift evaluating me, and what better way to do that than when
24:56the pressure's on?
24:58Otherwise, you're no better than McAdams.
25:02I'm sorry, that last part was way over the line, but I stand by the rest.
25:11All right, you're in.
25:13I won't let you down.
25:14It's not me I'd be worried about.
25:15My wife is a ninja warrior assassin.
25:17If she ends up a widow because of you, there won't be enough left of you to fit into a
25:20bucket.
25:21Wait.
25:22Not a joke.
25:41He must have been going 90 miles an hour.
25:43Should we go after him?
25:44Negative.
25:45Gray wants us focused on crimes against persons.
25:47We can get his license plate from the dash cam later.
25:497 Adam 15 multiple callers report shots fired in the alley 3100 block Avon Street.
25:55Hospital 1054 lane by the vehicle, Adam 15.
25:58That's right.

26:05Yeah.

34:42Oh my god. I was so scared.
34:44Alright, alright. Look, it's not over yet, okay? Grab her.
34:47No. Levine, you gotta let him go. He can't protect you if you're holding on.
34:51It's alright. Stay there. Stay right there.
35:13No! Go! Save her!
35:15No! Go! Save her!
35:30You can get a case dismissed. And you're dismissed. You got a case dismissed.
35:42Please! Show me your hands. Did a man drag a woman through here?
35:49There. SWAT is coming through here. They are heavily armed.
35:51If I were you, I would restrain myself and sit down.
36:16Look out!
36:23You okay? Yeah.
36:32Come here. Get up. Wait. What are you doing?
36:35Arresting you. But I was held hostage. Doesn't that count for something?
36:38No. You were at the clerk's office following a wrongful termination lawsuit against the LAPD
36:42after instigating mass violence on the job. You're not the victim here. You caused all this.
37:06I'm sorry. So what? I got no feel-good sandwich here for you, Libby. People are dead because of your
37:12recklessness. You're lucky you're not one of them.
37:14I really didn't think anyone was going to take this seriously. I'm so sorry.
37:20Got the arrest warrant for Detective Berman. Detective who?
37:23Berman from West Hollywood. Turns out Berman is having an affair with the wife of our murder victim.
37:28Berman killed his competition and blackmailed a witness to frame Ben Dover for his crime.
37:33Ben Dover?
37:34Yes, sir. Dover is a real person with an unfortunate name.
37:38I hate April Fool's Day. Yeah.
37:40See, if you need backup for the arrest, you're going to have to wait.
37:42Oh, I had the arrest come to the backup, sir. I had Berman's captain call him down here to assist
37:47with the scene.
37:48Smart.
37:48Yeah, I'd try.
37:51Hello.
37:52It's me. Where are you?
37:54Downtown, just landing at a crime scene.
37:56It's set up. An arrest warrant with your name on it just came across my desk. They're about to put
38:00you in cuffs, dude. I never called you.
38:09What's he doing? I don't know. Trying out some mime school? The call was a tip lot.
38:15Berman! Show me your hands!
38:24Hands, now!
38:32Then, Officer Craig noticed a glass at the scene still wet with alcoholic beverage. He photographed it where he found
38:37it.
38:37Before, a group of rioters took over your crime scene and destroyed yet another shop.
38:43The dissipation rate of alcohol and Anita's fingerprints on the glass placed her at the scene near the time of
38:49the murder.
38:50We believed that she was lying in wait for him to come home and then confronted him outside the vehicle
38:54and shot him multiple times,
38:56hoping that we would pin the murder on the Purge.
38:59I understand you also had your first tactical retreat.
39:02Is that what cops call running away?
39:03Yeah, it just sounds cooler when you say it that way.
39:05Ah, yeah. Then, yes, sir.
39:07After some time, we circled back and the crowd had moved on.
39:10But not before damaging our shop, stealing Teddy's watch and wallet, and posting selfies with the corpse.
39:17Which means it'll be easier to identify and arrest.
39:20Nice to see people's stupidity works in our favor this time.
39:24Ah, good news. Rampart just picked up Anita at Union Station,
39:27trying to get on a train to Flagstaff. They're bringing her in now.
39:30All right. So, Officer Craig, after everything you've seen tonight,
39:34this career is still something you want to pursue?
39:38Oh, yes, sir. This career is everything I've ever dreamed about.
39:42A lot of my friends thought I was crazy for joining the Academy, but, um, you know,
39:46I believe helping people is my calling.
39:48And if you can find it in your heart to give me a proper chance, I promise you won't regret
39:53it.
39:56All right. I will endorse your continuation in the FTO program,
40:01but I will have to reassign you to a different, much quieter division
40:05to make sure you have the best opportunity to succeed.
40:09Yes, sir. Thank you, sir.
40:11You're welcome. All right. Dismissed.
40:18Thank you for giving me a second chance.
40:21Connery, you stepped up when it mattered.
40:23And I know you are transferring out, but, uh, I'm always here as a resource.
40:28Just, you know, be chill about it.
40:29I will. Thank you. Later.
40:34Hey. Hey. Things got interesting out there with your rookie.
40:37A little fighting, a little, uh, tactical retreating, a little murder-solve.
40:41Not bad for my first purge.
40:42Don't even joke about that.
40:43Bradford, Chin, in here.
40:47See you tomorrow.
40:49Hopefully.
40:50It's come to my attention that you two are back in a romantic relationship
40:54when you both know it's against the rules.
40:56He's your supervisor, for God's sakes.
40:58Yes. Yes, sir.
40:59But, um, look, we've been trying to fight the feeling for a long time.
41:03April Fools!
41:05April Fools!
41:11Are you okay?
41:11Sir, what's going on?
41:13Sir?
41:13Are you having a heart attack?
41:14Whoa!
41:15Oh, my God.
41:15Call, call.
41:16Are you alright? Sit back.
41:17Oh, my God.
41:22Gotcha.
41:25I thought you hated pranks.
41:27I do.
41:30But to wipe the smug look off your faces, it was worth joining in.
41:35This one time.
41:37Yes.
41:38We deserve that.
41:39But you nearly scared me half to death.
41:41Good.
41:42Good, good, good.
41:43Remember that next time you think about trying to fool me.
41:46Now go.
41:49Have a good night.
41:51Happy?
41:52Thrilled.
41:52I mean, that worked out perfectly.
41:54And we still have 55 minutes left.
41:57My problem is I live 30 minutes away.
41:58Not if we are.
42:00Uh, where are you, uh, going?
42:02Oh, home.
42:02I'll see you there.
42:04Yeah, I'll, uh, see you there.
42:08There is definitely something going on between us two.
42:40Thanks for watching.
42:53Damn it.
