00:01Previously on The Rookie.
00:02Officer Stanton will be taking over the training of Officer West.
00:05Someone broke it to your home.
00:06So who are you claiming these days, D?
00:07He did something that really bothered me.
00:09The way he treated this one family.
00:11Black family.
00:14I am hereby placing you under administrative leave.
00:16Gunning badge.
00:17I think I could be really good at undercover work.
00:20The op today is simple.
00:21Trade drugs for cash.
00:22Then arrest everybody and try to get them to flip on Aldo Salonga.
00:25I need to see that you really know the science.
00:27Are we done?
00:28When it comes to your child, there is nothing you won't do to protect them.
00:33Her son was her humanity.
00:35With him gone.
00:36War has come.
00:41How's Henry?
00:42Well, he's good.
00:43Thanks.
00:44Sarah and Abigail have me set up in Arizona.
00:47I'll do his rehab there.
00:48I'll join them once I graduate to B2.
00:49Ten more days.
00:51Harper says your focus is on becoming a T.O.
00:53I think that's where I can do the most good.
00:55Any advice?
00:56Think how hard it is doing this job.
00:58Now think about doing it while babysitting an armed toddler.
01:02Got it.
01:03But seriously, if you have any more wisdom on how to be better prepared, I would appreciate it.
01:08Sure.
01:10Automatic weapons.
01:11A lot of them.
01:12Set that at 19.
01:13Shots fired.
01:14Multiple shooters.
01:14Rescue cemetery.
01:15Of course, the airship.
01:16The pack of them.
01:17What will I serve?
01:29Where are these guys?
01:40Come on.
01:41Let's go.
01:42Let's go.
01:53What's up here?
01:55Police!
01:56Don't move!
02:00Got them?
02:01Yeah.
02:06How did he make it this far in this condition?
02:08Heat of battle.
02:107 to 19.
02:11I want to cast any not conscious, not breathing.
02:13Let's go find out where he was coming from.
02:14Henry's Creek released.
02:15He's dead.
02:18He's dead.
02:20No.
02:42We're going to find out.
02:44Look, I don't want to alarm you,
02:45but our guest list is out of control.
02:47What are you talking about?
02:48I mean, we're almost at maximum capacity,
02:50and half your cop friends haven't even responded yet.
02:52Yeah, cops don't really respect RSVPs, especially for...
02:57Especially for what?
02:59First marriages.
03:00Uh-huh.
03:01So they just think that I'm your starter husband?
03:03Yes, but if it makes you feel any better,
03:06I'm 72% certain you're my forever husband.
03:09Only 72%?
03:10Goes up to 81 if you make me breakfast.
03:14Lopez.
03:17Yes, sir, text me the address.
03:20What?
03:22The war just started.
03:33Hey, looks like Cesar Madrigal's been used in the cemetery
03:36as a supply depot.
03:37Guys were loading a car with narcotics, got ambushed.
03:41La Fiera?
03:41Definitely Hermales Dorados.
03:43All sporting the yellow sneakers.
03:45Looks like she said five shooters,
03:46including one that was shooting at us.
03:47They came out on foot and opened up on Cesar's guys.
03:49Fortunately for yellow kicks, they miscounted the enemy.
03:52Got caught in a crossfire of two of Cesar's crew they didn't see.
03:55Less than a minute, there's a baker's dozen of DBs.
03:57You up to speed?
03:57Getting there.
03:58Where's Sergeant Carradine?
03:59Sweating the cemetery on her.
04:00She's clearly on Cesar's payroll.
04:02Yes.
04:02It's only gonna get worse.
04:04La Fiera's out for blood.
04:06And Cesar's just strong enough to put up a decent fight.
04:09You don't think he could win?
04:10No.
04:10La Fiera has a lot more resources than Cesar.
04:12And honestly, a level of brutality that his crew's never seen before.
04:15I can't just stand by and watch him shoot up the city.
04:17I mean, we got lucky this time.
04:19No innocence were hurt, but that can't last.
04:20Word is Sandra flew back from Guatemala after Baron Diego.
04:23She's bunkered down at Hotel Matilde, running out the whole ninth floor.
04:26Good to be queen.
04:27What about Cesar?
04:28According to narcotics, he's in the wind.
04:30I know someone who might have some insight on where to find him.
04:33Mac Daniels.
04:34He's working for Cesar's dad after getting fired by LAPD.
04:37Really talked to you?
04:38Got him in rehab.
04:39I can give him a call, see if he has any idea where Cesar might hold up.
04:42Do it.
04:42And you, go talk to La Fiera.
04:44Impress on her the need to stand down.
04:47Cesar killed her son.
04:48I don't think there's anything I can say that I'll get through to her.
04:51But I'll try.
04:54All right.
04:55And I thought my day was gonna be chasing down cop RSVPs for the wedding.
04:59That'll only take like two minutes for La Fiera to tell you to go screw yourself, so...
05:03We should split the RSVP list.
05:06It'll get done faster.
05:07Yeah, I'm not doing that.
05:11Fine.
05:11Email me the list.
05:14Should've read the fine print on that whole man of honor thing.
05:16No kidding.
05:17I'm just saying.
05:18The cop who tackles the perp should be the one to do the paperwork.
05:21But, no.
05:22The cop who didn't risk life and lamb running down a messed out sous chef would have to do
05:25it.
05:26Otherwise, you are disincentivizing hands-on policing.
05:28If you could just let me go, then there's no paperwork.
05:33Oh.
05:34What's that?
05:35Sarge, you need me?
05:37Sorry, partner.
05:38Paperwork's all yours.
05:38Fine.
05:39But you're tackling the next three guys.
05:40Uh-huh.
05:41Let's go.
05:42You can teach me what the hell sous vide is.
05:47Yes, sir?
05:48You heard about the mass casualty event this morning?
05:51Uh, yes, sir.
05:52But we knew a gang war was coming, right?
05:54Yes, and it's far from over.
05:56Which detective Harper tells me presents an opportunity?
06:00In times of chaos like this, it's not just the criminal pecking order that get shaken up.
06:04Undercover operations get upended.
06:07Long-term UCs and CIs are neutered when their bosses get killed or caught.
06:11But the upheaval also gives us a chance to put new UCs in the field.
06:16I got a call from Jun Zhang this morning.
06:18Aldo Salonga is out of prison and he is desperate to cook product to move.
06:22So he called her cover identity and asked about you.
06:25You want me to go back in as the chemist?
06:27Jun is already up in another operation, so she told Salonga that you might be available.
06:31I'm ready.
06:32Not so fast.
06:33This wouldn't be a sting operation like the last time.
06:36This would probably be a long-term placement.
06:38Which means you'll be on your own without surveillance team or access to immediate backup.
06:43It normally takes months to properly train an officer to go deep undercover like this.
06:47Hundreds of hours of classroom and field training.
06:50I told detective Harper she has today to evaluate your readiness.
06:54If she doesn't sign off with confidence that you can handle it, I will not approve the assignment.
07:00Yes, sir.
07:02I won't let you down.
07:03It's not about letting me down, Officer Chen.
07:06There is no failure for finding yourself unprepared for a job you did not prepare for.
07:12Is that clear?
07:13Yes, sir.
07:13Go get changed.
07:14I'm throwing you on the deep end.
07:21I'm throwing you on the deep end.
07:24I'm throwing you on the deep end.
07:29I'm throwing you on the deep end.
07:54It's not a hideout.
07:55It's the base of operations.
07:57I know you.
07:58You were at my dad's hospital.
08:00That's right.
08:01The day you tried to kill Lafayette.
08:02Allegedly.
08:03Nothing alleged about what happened this morning.
08:05You lost a lot of men.
08:06And product.
08:06I don't know what you're talking about.
08:08Sure you do.
08:08You started a war you can't win.
08:10Says who?
08:11Everybody.
08:11You're a minor league ball club next to Fiera.
08:13Even if you could compete, you killed her son.
08:16She's out for blood.
08:17Your blood.
08:18She's also a businesswoman.
08:20Wars are expensive.
08:21Unpredictable.
08:22Word is she made a deal with your father to take over.
08:25Now if you offered to honor that deal, she might let you walk away with her life.
08:30What belonged to the father will be inherited by the son.
08:34That's in the Bible.
08:35So this bitch could run around all she wants claiming she made some sort of deal with my dad,
08:38but no one's going to believe it.
08:39You better hope not.
08:40If you lose the support of your father's lieutenants, they'll jump ship and you'll be all by your lonesome.
08:46Hey, you guys wouldn't happen to know where Lafayette is, right?
08:49In case I want to pay my respects.
08:51Sorry.
08:51You have to figure that one out on your own.
08:53Yeah.
08:54I'm working on it.
08:57So what now?
08:59Hope Lopez is doing better with Lafayette.
09:04Police.
09:05I'm here to talk to Sandra de la Cruz.
09:08Detective Lopez.
09:09We haven't met yet.
09:10No, but you matched the description of the man who threatened my fiance.
09:13That doesn't sound like me.
09:15I get along with everyone.
09:16And yet I can tell you're not going to get along with me.
09:18My heart breaks.
09:19Is Sandra inside?
09:20Do you have a warrant?
09:21Not yet.
09:22Is that a problem?
09:24Not yet.
09:30Hermana.
09:31Thank you for the flowers you sent for Diego's funeral.
09:34They were lovely.
09:36We held the service at Casa de Dios.
09:38Thousands attended and walked with me as we buried him in Chichicastanango in a bright yellow tomb to honor the
09:45sunshine he brought into my life.
09:46You should have stayed in Guatemala.
09:49No.
09:51I have unfinished business here.
09:54Listen to me.
09:57Up until this point, you managed to fly mostly under the radar, away from the eyes of federal law enforcement.
10:02But you announced yourself in a big way this morning.
10:04A dozen dead bodies elevates you to the top of the watch list.
10:07I have nothing left to lose, Hermana.
10:09But there is a very simple thing you can do to end this war before it goes any farther.
10:14And what's that?
10:16We both know you were wiretapping a dying man's hospital room.
10:20You heard him promise to give me control.
10:23But he slipped into a coma before he could tell his people.
10:26You want this war to end?
10:28Give me that recording.
10:34You were offered A plus one.
10:37You crossed that out and wrote plus four.
10:41Emotional support animals are not wedding guests.
10:47Hey, Mildred.
10:48Don Nolan here.
10:49Yeah.
10:50So listen, here's the thing.
10:52What Tim is too embarrassed to say is that he screwed up.
10:54He told Angelo the wrong venue cap.
10:56Now they have too many guests.
10:57We just need a few people to...
10:59You will?
11:00Thank you so much.
11:01I know the couple will be so pleased.
11:02All right.
11:03Bye.
11:04Pretty proud of yourself?
11:06Throwing a fellow officer under the bus?
11:07I think Detective Lopez would approve of my methods.
11:17Control 7, Av19.
11:18Run a plate 3, John, Robert, Queen, 158.
11:22Send details to our box.
11:26His name is Miguel O'Fair.
11:28He's got quite a list of priors.
11:30We're getting a very good picture of SSR's operation here.
11:33Too bad none of this intel will be irrelevant once Lafiera wipes them off the map.
11:41Hey, how'd it go?
11:43The good news is that I can stop the war.
11:46How?
11:46By giving Lafiera the wiretap recording of her and Madrigal making their deal.
11:50Oh, let's do it.
11:51We'll stop the body count.
11:52Not all of it.
11:53She's going to kill SSR no matter what.
11:55Better one homicide than a second massacre.
11:57Can we do that, though?
11:59Ethically speaking, pick the winner of a drug war?
12:01What's our number one mandate?
12:02Protect the lives of the people of Los Angeles.
12:05So we end the violence today.
12:06We go after Lafiera tomorrow.
12:08Exactly.
12:09I'll run it up the flagpole.
12:10Any luck finding Cesar?
12:11He's up in Acton, holed up in a cabin.
12:14We're documenting the comings and goings of his crew, keeping an eye out for trouble.
12:17I gotta go.
12:18Looks like the feds have joined the party.
12:23I'm headed to my lady doctor next.
12:25Want to come to that, too?
12:26Special Agent Taggart, DEA.
12:28We need to talk.
12:30Well, thanks for agreeing to talk to me.
12:31Of course, yeah.
12:32Nolan said you were interviewing cops for your book on police reform.
12:35I'd talk about that all day.
12:37John mentioned that you come from a police family.
12:40Yep.
12:41Dad, uncles, a few aunts, half a dozen cousins.
12:44Now the West are blue through and through.
12:46And black.
12:48Yeah.
12:49Um, you want to know if being black affects my stance on police reform?
12:53Does it?
12:55Hell yeah.
12:56I've seen firsthand how the right kind of policing can serve our communities
13:00and make people's lives better.
13:02So when an officer abuses their power in those communities, take it personally.
13:08That's interesting.
13:09Given your family, I might have expected a blue wall of silence answer from you.
13:12There definitely was a time when I had more faith in the system.
13:16But recently I've seen firsthand how broken it is.
13:19How so?
13:20It needs to be a lot easier to fire bad cops.
13:26Almost die trying.
13:35Why the cloak and dagger?
13:37You were in Lafiera's hotel suite for 17 minutes, nine seconds.
13:41What'd you talk about?
13:42Makeup tips.
13:44Cutest members of BTS.
13:45Be careful, detective.
13:46Just got to the big kid's table.
13:48I could easily have you put back in uniform.
13:50No, you can't.
13:51You know what else you apparently can't do?
13:54Wiretap Lafiera.
13:55Because if you could, you wouldn't be asking me what we talked about for 17 minutes and nine seconds.
14:01Now why am I here?
14:02I'm running a multi-agency task force.
14:05DEA, FBI, BNE.
14:07Why not LAPD?
14:08We're on the front lines of this.
14:10You should be bringing us in.
14:11I have over 25 years experience dealing with cartels.
14:14I say when it's time to bring in local PD.
14:16So, here's the carrot.
14:17You tell me what you know.
14:19And I'll consider inviting you into the inner sanctum.
14:23We have a recording of Tomas Madrigal giving Lafiera control of his drug operation.
14:28I want a copy of that tape.
14:29That's funny.
14:29So does she.
14:30To cement her control, which is why you can't give it to her.
14:33We need time to analyze that.
14:34Go over the angles.
14:35Do you even speak Spanish?
14:37What does that have to do with anything?
14:3825 years of experience with the cartels.
14:41You speak the language.
14:43You know the culture.
14:44You see how the politics of the United States has created the most chaos and crime in Latin America.
14:50No wonder we're losing.
14:52Look, I'll take your request under advisement.
14:54But it's LAPD's recording.
14:57We'll decide what we do with it.
14:58Now you see, you played that all wrong.
15:01Because unlike you, your boss knows that the best path to putting Lafiera behind bars is through a federal court.
15:07So, I'm just going to go over your head, take that tape, and leave you watching from the sidelines.
15:22So, what's my first test?
15:23Buying drugs without getting ID'd, or?
15:25Are you going undercover as a tweaker?
15:27No.
15:28So that wouldn't be a very useful test.
15:30I can't cram a hundred hours worth of training into one shift.
15:34So I have to get to the heart of what you need to know in order to survive.
15:39When you are a UC, you have to be on triple duty.
15:43So what does that mean?
15:44It means I need to keep three things in my head at all times.
15:46Yes.
15:46What are they?
15:48First, I always have to be aware of the law and proper procedure.
15:52There are certain actions I can take as a UC.
15:54I can be the lookout for a burglary.
15:56I can drive the getaway car and a lot of actions that I can't take.
16:00I can't get high.
16:01I can't assault or victimize someone.
16:04Second.
16:05I always have to be my character.
16:07Spend every moment channeling Nova Lynn and not Lucy Chen.
16:12Third.
16:12Um.
16:14Oh, shoot.
16:14You have to not get caught or killed.
16:17Right.
16:18If you really were a drug cook, the only thing that you would be worried about is whether you
16:22are getting paid or popped at the end of your cook.
16:26But as a UC, you have to have three complicated streams of consciousness going through your
16:31mind at all times.
16:32How much time have you spent on your backstory?
16:34I filled four journals.
16:37What?
16:39It's just going to be interesting to see what you thought was important about Nova and what
16:43was not.
16:45Anyway, I'm going to step out.
16:46I'm going to give you five minutes to get into character.
16:50And then we're going to a party.
16:57Officer West, we just received an anonymous tip on one LaPierre strongholds.
17:01Units from Hollywood Division are on their way.
17:03Meet them there and keep me in the loop.
17:05Yes, sir.
17:06You think Cesar Madrigal called it in so we'd do his dirty work for him?
17:09I do, which makes him smarter than I thought.
17:11Yes, sir.
17:12Still, we'd rather arrest these guys quietly than have a repeat of this morning's bloodshed.
17:16Come on my way.
17:18Let's line him up against the wall.
17:30Officer West, Mid-Wilshire.
17:31Came by to see if you guys needed a hand.
17:33Thanks.
17:33We're just bringing the rest of the guys out now.
17:35Not enough long guns to arm a small battalion.
17:36Well, well, well.
17:38Look who it is.
17:46You were fired.
17:47Was.
17:48Turns out being saddled with an incompetent rookie isn't grounds for termination.
17:51Even if that rookie's daddy does run idle.
17:54This is the rookie you were telling us about.
17:56Yep.
17:57Officer Jackson West.
17:59Kid who stabbed me in the back.
18:00Let's go.
18:16Sniper.
18:17Where you been?
18:18I had some trouble.
18:20Nothing I couldn't handle.
18:21This.
18:22This is Nova.
18:23I don't think you two have met yet.
18:25I'd remember.
18:27Likewise.
18:29Careful.
18:30You're about to burn that burger.
18:33Know your way around a grill?
18:35I usually cook in a more controlled environment.
18:38That's so.
18:39Who do you cook?
18:39All sorts.
18:41Mainly catering.
18:42Big orders.
18:45Nova came through for me recently.
18:47I'm going to go grab a beer.
18:49You two talk.
18:52Where'd you learn to cook?
18:53Here and there.
18:54I bet every top chef needs formal training.
18:57Sure.
18:57But I only just met you.
18:59You don't see me asking where you did time.
19:04What makes you think I did time?
19:06You're the beast.
19:07Now if you're friends with Sniper, that means you're in the business.
19:09And if you're in the business, eventually you catch a charge.
19:17You might be able to use someone with your background.
19:19Yeah.
19:20I'll need to do my due diligence first.
19:21I only work with professionals.
19:23Well, by all means, ask around.
19:30Something wrong?
19:31No.
19:37Do you know them?
19:38No.
19:39I just don't like seeing a girl being mistreated.
19:42I can fix that.
19:43Watch your grill.
19:46Hey!
19:47Yeah, you!
19:48Boy!
19:48Come here!
19:49What's the problem?
19:51This kid put his hands on the girl.
19:52Nova didn't like it.
19:53Yeah, she's sensitive that way.
19:55Me, I think a girl could use a little more focus.
19:59What?
20:01Go on, tell him.
20:02You should treat that girl better.
20:04Kiss my ass.
20:05What did you say to me?
20:07Nothing.
20:08Sorry.
20:09Won't happen again.
20:10See that it doesn't.
20:11Now piss off.
20:16Nice gun.
20:18That's all right.
20:20It's a cop gun.
20:25Yeah.
20:26They use them because they're reliable when things get real.
20:29It's good enough for me.
20:37Let's eat.
20:41Let's eat!
20:49Took you long enough.
20:50L.A. traffic.
20:51What do you want from me?
20:52Got one unmarked car, two sets of civvies, fresh from lost and found.
20:57But you were supposed to pull clothes from our locker.
20:59We texted you our combinations.
21:01Oh, I didn't do that.
21:02Why do we rely on you for anything?
21:04I've been wondering that myself.
21:06Oh, um, Smitty, one more thing, um, about Lopez's wedding.
21:10Yeah, she got my RSVP, right?
21:11Yeah, that's just it.
21:12You can't send an RSVP card to a wedding you weren't invited to.
21:15Oh, of course I'm invited.
21:17I'm the DJ.
21:19It's not the DJ.
21:20You're not the DJ.
21:22It's not right.
21:23Those bodies are on our murder board.
21:25The D.A. can't just force us to follow their command.
21:27That tape could end the bloodshed right now.
21:29Angela, stop.
21:30The chief already sent a recording to the feds.
21:32You have to let this go.
21:34He's back.
21:34Who?
21:35Doug Stanton.
21:36He was dispoed on our pinch.
21:37He's back on the job.
21:38He's in the Hollywood division.
21:39Damn it.
21:40I'm so sorry.
21:42Looks like Stanton appealed his termination and won.
21:45Wait, and no one cared to tell me?
21:46The brass is under no obligation to notify you or me of their rules.
21:50After everything he did!
21:52Not a single repercussion!
21:53That's not entirely true.
21:55He lost his seniority and got demoted to P2.
21:57Where he'll be for the rest of his career, he'll never be a training officer again.
22:00But he still wears the badge.
22:02The police commissioner and the board of rights ended up seeing things his way.
22:06Because they were more interested in avoiding a wrongful termination suit than punishing a corrupt cop.
22:12Look, Sarge, this man left me there to die.
22:20This isn't over.
22:21I'm going to bring it up at the sergeant's staff meeting.
22:23I'm not done fighting for you.
22:25Yeah, don't bother.
22:27You both know I won't do any good.
22:30Stand to one.
22:34Thank you very much.
22:36And now we have cut the list by 27 guests.
22:39That's not bad.
22:40You told them I was so guilt-ridden, I've been crying in bed all day.
22:43It really helped paint the picture.
22:44You do remember I hold your fate in my hands.
22:47Do I know that?
22:5027, F-19, be advised, Cesar is on the move with his crew,
22:53requesting airship to aid in our surveillance.
22:57I did good, right?
22:58You did great.
22:59I knew it was a setup.
23:00No, you didn't.
23:01Okay, I couldn't know for sure, but...
23:03You should be in school.
23:04Relax.
23:05Nyla wrote me a note.
23:06See you tonight?
23:07Yeah.
23:07Uh, hey, who was that boy?
23:12Do you know?
23:13They're not dating, right?
23:14Because I did not like that kid.
23:16Never mind.
23:18So, what's next?
23:19You never know what comes next when you're undercover,
23:21so why would I tell you now?
23:24Oh, my God.
23:49Get your ass off my desk.
23:50Are you not housebroken yet?
23:52We decided that Sandra De La Cruz can have the recording.
23:55You could have called to tell me that.
23:57So, why are you here?
23:58We installed malware on this drive.
24:01She plugs this into her computer,
24:02snakes its way throughout her entire network.
24:05Tablets, phones, routers, in one fell swoop,
24:07we get evidence on the whole operation.
24:09But you need someone she trusts to deliver it to her.
24:11Is this really the best idea you've got?
24:13Glorified spam link?
24:15Will you give it to her or not?
24:34A booty call?
24:35He's in the middle of a gang war, and that's his priority?
24:37That's how his father knew he would just run the business into the ground.
24:41That's why he sold out to La Fiera.
24:43Let's find out who the school friend is.
24:45I'll run her plates.
24:46Control?
24:47So, Officer West, Professor Ryan, what can I do for you?
24:52Well, Jackson called to tell me about Officer Stanton being reinstated.
24:56He asked for my help.
24:57What kind of help?
24:58Exposure.
24:59A black rookie officer being abused and left to die by his white T.O.,
25:02and the guy keeps his job?
25:05If it were up to me, we'd be on CNN right now.
25:07So, what's stopping you?
25:08I feel like I owed you a heads up, sir.
25:11Son, you don't owe me anything.
25:13I understand your anger just like I understand your instinct to go public.
25:17But I believe you'll be making a mistake.
25:19The department has left me with no other option.
25:21If my life is worth less to the department than the cost of a lawsuit, why should I protect them?
25:26You should.
25:27You should protect yourself.
25:28And I'm telling you, going on TV, putting Doug on blast will just cause the department to circle their wagons.
25:33They will shield Doug to defend their own reputation.
25:37You'll be inadvertently making a martyr out of him and isolating yourself.
25:41And that, right there, is why things will never change.
25:43Until cops speak up about what is really happening, change will never come.
25:48I hear you.
25:48But at what cost?
25:50This young man's career?
25:51Search.
25:52I have to do something.
25:53Jackson is willing to step up and risk losing everything.
25:57But you insist it won't work.
25:59So tell me, what will?
26:01You've been a cop for a long time.
26:02Tell me what we can do to make the department turn against Doug Stanton.
26:08Or we'll be on the 6 o'clock news.
26:13Lucy Chen, meet Sergeant Mark Murray, a.k.a. Shea.
26:19Uh, it's a pleasure, sir.
26:22And that burger was truly delicious.
26:24You made a nice save with the kid.
26:26Besides being a grill master, Shea is a court-certified expert in clandestine narcotics labs.
26:32Manufacturing dope is part of my official duties.
26:35Now, Detective Harp informs me that you're going to be posing as a chemist.
26:37Yes, sir.
26:38Okay.
26:39Come on.
26:42So, dilaudid, meth, heroin, fentanyl.
26:45Chemically speaking, what's the difference between nasal decongestant and meth?
26:48One oxygen molecule.
26:50Just one.
26:50And to add that molecule?
26:51You have to break the pseudophedrine down, then add methyl alcohol and evaporate it so that the oxygen can...
26:57Boom! Half the chemicals just burned up.
26:59Improvise.
27:00Where do you get the methyl alcohol?
27:01Where?
27:03Windshield washer fluid, then fertilizer with anhydrous ammonia, sodium metal.
27:09Or lithium metal.
27:10You can get that from batteries.
27:15Yes, you can.
27:16Good.
27:16We're going to spend the afternoon cooking.
27:18Knowing what to do is one thing.
27:19Knowing what to do when everything goes wrong, that's what's going to keep you alive.
27:23All right?
27:24Show me what you got.
27:31Where's your doorman?
27:32I'm running an errand.
27:37Cafecito?
27:39You must have some.
27:41I have it shipped in daily from my country.
27:43We have the best in the world.
27:47Guatemalan style.
27:49Very sweet.
27:51But don't worry.
27:52The beans are called huehuetenango.
27:54Low in acid.
27:55Easy on the tome.
27:56Your baby won't mind.
27:58Now, you have something for me, no?
28:02There's a condition.
28:03The war stops today.
28:04You declare an immediate ceasefire and a guaranteed protection of Cesar Madrigal.
28:09You ask a lot of a grieving mother.
28:11You chose this line of work.
28:13This is the price of doing business.
28:16Say it.
28:19No harm will come to Cesar Madrigal.
28:23You have my word.
28:40The Federalist put a Trojan horse in here, yes?
28:44Brand new in air gaps, so we can't connect to your network.
28:47Of course.
28:49You watch us, Irmana.
28:51We watch you.
28:54Tell the DEA, better look next time.
28:57Ghidoras like that always underestimate chicas like us.
29:15Control, be advised Cesar is on the move.
29:17Have the nearest unit pick up the tail.
29:18We're going to crush on the gold hook.
29:22My son, he's foolhardy and rash, but he's still my blood.
29:27Cesar will be provided for.
29:28You have my word.
29:30Then you, Miss Delacroix, I want you to continue my legacy.
29:38And just like that, there is peace in Los Angeles.
29:42Felicidades, Angela.
29:44The cafecito is good, ¿verdad?
29:46Quesadilla de arroz.
29:48My abuelita's is better.
29:49You want the recipe?
29:50No.
29:51Stop acting like we're friends.
29:52For the moment, our interests align.
29:54And I'll stay that way if the violence stops and Cesar stays alive.
29:59For I told you, killing Cesar would be unsatisfying.
30:05He must suffer like I suffer.
30:09Can I use your bathroom?
30:12This baby's bouncing on my bladder like a trampoline.
30:19Police, open up.
30:21Some questions for you regarding Cesar Madrigal.
30:24Don't know him.
30:25That's weird.
30:25We just saw him leave.
30:26May we come in?
30:28I'm calling my lawyer.
30:30Good.
30:30You really should.
30:31We're in the process of getting a warrant.
30:36Look, it's criminal 101 for suspects to hide illicit items in their girlfriend's homes.
30:41Cash, contraband, you name it.
30:43That gets you arrested.
30:44That gets you put in prison.
30:46That gets your baby put in foster care.
30:49That is not the outcome we're hoping for.
30:52So let's sit down, have a talk about this taking a different path.
30:58Hey.
30:58I think Cesar might have a kid somewhere.
31:01And Alfietta's going to kill him.
31:02Yeah, a little ahead of you there.
31:03Do me a favor.
31:04Call him back up.
31:05Code 3 High.
31:075917 Sycamore Court.
31:08Five shooters on site.
31:09You have a cast iron tub in your home?
31:10Yes, upstairs.
31:11Get your baby.
31:11Get inside.
31:12Lock the door.
31:12Hide in the tub.
31:13Let's pull the roof.
31:16Call it off.
31:17Murdering Cesar's baby is twisted, even for you.
31:20I don't know what you're talking about.
31:21But if Cesar's child were to die, well, that's just karma balancing the scales.
31:27Does it bother you?
31:28Making another mother grieve the way you do?
31:31Like I said, I cannot stop what I did not order.
31:36What's the plan?
31:37They came here expecting to find a helpless woman and child.
31:39Let's show them how steep the price of admission is.
31:45Guayana, right?
31:46You work with La Fiera.
31:47I met you at the hospital last week.
31:48Remember?
31:49You were dressed different.
31:51Yeah, I was in uniform.
31:53Easy, gentlemen.
31:54I see a weapon.
31:56We're going to have a real problem.
31:57Look, I appreciate the position that you're in, officers.
32:00But you need to try to understand mine.
32:02We have a job to do.
32:03And the price of failure is death.
32:05So there is nothing for us to lose.
32:07You, on the other hand, you have options.
32:10I think he wants us to walk away.
32:12How much?
32:13How much do you want?
32:14Oh, I want to be Batman rich.
32:16What's that take, like a billion?
32:17Way more.
32:17Yeah, like 10 or 20, since I don't think you have that kind of cash on you.
32:20Looks like we're sticking around and I don't get to be Batman.
32:22Then I guess we're done talking.
32:30Ow.
32:31All right, before we get more policemen.
32:39Fall back upstairs?
32:40Negative.
32:41They'll just light the house on fire and shoot us when we come out.
32:43Our only option is to take the fight to them.
32:45It looks like we're done talking, too.
32:55Oh!
32:57Oh!
32:58Oh!
33:19Don't even breathe.
33:34This is going to hurt, but how are you for shooting me?
33:37You know what they told us at the academy about fighting a guy with a knife?
33:40No.
33:40Tell me.
33:41It says if you hold it the wrong way, you got a chance.
33:44If they hold it the right way, run.
33:47I'm going to hold it the right way.
33:51You're going to run?
33:52No.
34:04That's the best you got?
34:22First knife fight?
34:23Yeah.
34:24You hold it the right way?
34:26Yeah.
34:29Girl 7ab 19, 5 in custody.
34:32Code 4.
34:37Stella?
34:38Wade, come on in.
34:39Appreciate you taking the time.
34:41This is Officer Jackson West.
34:44Pleasure to meet you, ma'am.
34:45You too.
34:45But listen, I read the report on your attack in Doug Stanton's file.
34:50It's unconscionable.
34:51But your sergeant here knows as well as I do that when an officer is reinstated by the department,
34:55there's literally nothing their watch commander can do about it.
34:57With all due respect, ma'am, that's, uh, that's not true.
35:03Stella, we go way back.
35:04You know firsthand how hard it is to make meaningful changes inside the department.
35:09So all I'm asking is that you hear Officer West out.
35:16All right.
35:18You have my attention.
35:21As you all know, I have instituted new training protocols with the goal of moving us towards
35:26a more modern approach on policing.
35:28We're going to watch and discuss a new training video about ensuring your partner's safety.
35:33Control 7 out of 7.
35:34A to B. I'm out with 3.
35:36Copy.
35:36Right behind you.
35:37Stop where you are.
35:38Look, you guys do not want to do this.
35:39Stop where you are.
35:54Oh, yes.
35:55That's Stan.
35:55That's Stan.
35:56Oh, yeah.
35:56I'm breathing.
35:57I'm breathing.
35:58Oh, yeah.
35:587 out of 19.
35:59We need an ambulance to our location.
36:01Officer down.
36:02A 24-year-old male.
36:03Full body trauma.
36:04I have to order.
36:05Who did this to you?
36:09This is not what it looks like.
36:11Yes, it is.
36:12This is the truth about Doug Stanton.
36:14What kind of copy is?
36:16One who won't have your back when you need it the most.
36:19Come on, guys.
36:21Come on.
36:21You know me.
36:23They do now.
36:27Hey, Lucy.
36:30So I just got off the phone with Shea.
36:33You rocked the cook.
36:34He said you're more knowledgeable than half the guys that work for him.
36:37What?
36:38Wow.
36:39So what does that mean?
36:40Well, I spoke to Gray, and I told him you're as ready as you could be, considering the circumstances.
36:45And he approved the operation.
36:49There is no telling how long you will be off the grid.
36:52So you need to get your personal life squared away.
36:54Yes, ma'am.
36:55This assignment, it will be hard.
36:57It will be lonely.
36:58And at times, it might even be boring.
37:01But you can never let your guard down.
37:04If you do, you are dead.
37:08You got it?
37:10Yes.
37:10All right.
37:11Go home.
37:13The real work starts tomorrow.
37:25Paperwork on this one is going to take forever.
37:28I was going to order some food.
37:30How about Ty?
37:32You're a good cop, Nolan.
37:33I'll grant you that.
37:36Thank you, sir.
37:37I appreciate it.
37:38I said yes to Ty.
37:41How serious are you about becoming a training officer?
37:45Very serious.
37:46Training our next generation is the most sacred position an officer can hold.
37:50It's not a consolation prize or a rung on the ladder to your next promotion.
37:53I know that.
37:54No, I don't think you do.
37:55Because last month, you wanted to be a detective.
37:56Then you found out that couldn't happen.
37:58Now you want to be a T.O.
38:01Sir, I don't want to be a T.O.
38:04I'm going to be a T.O.
38:07If you want to doubt my convictions, that's fine.
38:10You don't want to help me?
38:11That's fine, too.
38:12But you're not going to deter me.
38:19Let's get Mexican.
38:21A little bit.
38:27Hey.
38:29I left messages for you.
38:31Lying and waiting for the pregnant woman to walk out?
38:33Way to be creepy.
38:34How'd it go?
38:35La Fiera saw right through your play.
38:37Made an audio recording and ditched the thumb drive.
38:40That's my fault.
38:41Shouldn't have sent in a novice.
38:46When you look at her, all you see is a woman from a third world country with a fourth grade
38:50education.
38:52But she's smarter than you.
38:53Oh, really?
38:54But not you.
38:55No, she probably is.
38:57But I'm humble enough to know that.
38:59Which is why I'm going to be the one who takes her down.
39:16No.
39:17No.
39:19No.
39:22No.
39:23No.
39:24No.
39:24No.
39:25No.
39:25No.
39:25No.
39:25No.
39:25No.
39:26No.
39:27No.
39:36You screwed up?
39:37Betraying Mr. Salonga like that?
39:40I don't know what you're talking about.
39:41We grabbed up your friend Coco.
39:43It took a little cutting.
39:44But she told us that she was a cop.
39:46That you were all cops.
39:47You're lying.
39:49Coco would never say that because it's not true.
39:56Wait.
39:57Wait.
39:57No.
39:59No.
40:00No.
40:01No.
40:02No.
40:04No.
40:04No.
40:04No.
40:04No.
40:05No.
40:05Look, I am not asking you.
40:07I already know.
40:08So, my question is, what else do the cops know about Mr. Salonga's operation?
40:13We have certain upcoming transactions.
40:15I need to know if they've been compromised.
40:17I have no idea.
40:27Last chance.
40:29Last chance.
40:34Listen to me.
40:36Whatever Coco said to you, she's lying.
40:40That's what people do when they're being tortured.
40:42She would have admitted to being an elephant if you had asked her.
40:46You set that fire and Salonga is as good as dead.
40:51Word on the street is he's in debt to some really bad people.
40:55And I am the only one who can get him out of it by cooking him up a fortune.
41:00But I am not going to do that if you hurt her.
41:05So, pull your head out of your ass, and let us go.
41:18She's pretty good.
41:21Of course she is.
41:23I taught her everything she knows.
41:26Can I ask me a towel?
41:28Wow.
41:28You're a full service asshat.
41:31You'll thank me for it later.
41:33And you, you abducted me when you know what I have been through.
41:38That is exactly why I did it.
41:40And if you are looking for an apology, you're not going to get it.
41:43I needed to see how you would react.
41:45And honestly, you needed to see how you would react.
41:49It's your last test.
41:51Really?
41:51Because that's what you said after the last, last test.
41:54Which is why you didn't see this one coming.
41:58Look at me.
