Transcript
00:25I need to see Sergeant Grant.
00:30Sergeant Athena Grant.
00:35Sergeant, someone's asking for you.
00:37Who is it?
00:38He's over there.
00:40You know him?
00:42I've never seen him in a day of my life.
00:45Sir, I'm Sergeant Grant.
00:48Can I help you?
00:50I'm here about a murder.
00:53All right.
00:54Who's the murderer?
00:57Mine.
01:06Wait a minute.
01:07Ready up our RA unit.
01:08Get a medic down here.
01:09Now.
01:09Yes, Sergeant.
01:23Mr. Buckley.
01:24Dr. Hoffman.
01:26What are you in for?
01:27A car accident.
01:29I broke three ribs a few weeks back and couldn't get a follow-up with my GP.
01:32Any port in a storm.
01:34Yeah.
01:35All right.
01:35Let's take a look here.
01:41Tender, huh?
01:42Mm-hmm.
01:43I'm not seeing any bruising.
01:45I'm not seeing any bruising.
01:45What's your pain level?
01:46Scale of ten.
01:47Eight.
01:47Maybe even a nine.
01:48Let's see what we can do about that.
01:54Mr. Buckley, it says here you've been to three different doctors this month?
01:58Uh, yeah.
01:59Every port seems busy, so...
02:02It also says no provider in California treated you for broken ribs.
02:07No.
02:08Uh, I was injured in New Mexico and treated at a local hospital there.
02:12And did they prescribe opioids for that?
02:16I'm looking at the CUES database.
02:19You know what that stands for?
02:21No.
02:22Controlled Substance Review and Evaluation.
02:24I have to consult it every time I prescribe a Schedule II.
02:28You wanna guess how many times your name's in it?
02:29Listen, I'm a firefighter.
02:31Yeah?
02:31I can't do my job if I'm hurting.
02:33You can't do it if you're high as a guy either.
02:35Doctor shopping is a form of fraud.
02:38Firefighter.
02:39Okay, I never take them when I'm at work.
02:41I'm not some kind of drug fiend.
02:44Okay, it's only been five weeks.
02:45And if you use opioids recreationally,
02:47it only takes five days to develop a dependency.
02:51I'm surprised this didn't ping earlier.
02:53It takes the system of time to catch up,
02:55but Mr. Buckley, it has caught up with you.
02:57You know, actually, I think I'm gonna get a second opinion.
03:00No, you won't.
03:00I'm flagging your name in the system.
03:04Okay, so what am I supposed to do now?
03:06Get some help?
03:11Now, careful.
03:12That thing stays with you for life.
03:14But a firehouse tattoo.
03:16I mean, that's classic, right?
03:17Look.
03:18Look, right here.
03:19Right here.
03:20One, one, eight.
03:21What if you get fired?
03:24Give me that grease gun.
03:27I don't know.
03:28I just need something that says I'm not a cadet anymore.
03:31You know, I've arrived.
03:32I'm grown.
03:33Harry.
03:35You left your night guard at Mom's again.
03:38I just couldn't wait till the end of the shift.
03:39But Mommy knows how you grind your teeth.
03:42So does the whole bunk room.
03:45Hey.
03:45I didn't see you there.
03:47I was, uh, under the truck.
03:52Right.
03:53How are you?
03:54I'm good.
03:55And you?
03:56Good.
03:57Good.
03:59Anything new?
04:00No.
04:01May.
04:01Well, sort of.
04:02You ready to roll?
04:03I don't wanna get a parking ticket.
04:05It's a fire zone.
04:06I feel like this whole place is.
04:07Yeah, yeah.
04:08No worries.
04:08I'm done here.
04:11Guys, this is Ian.
04:12He's a nurse over at Presbyterian.
04:14Ian, this is my little brother Harry.
04:16And Robbie.
04:18What's going on, fellas?
04:19What's up?
04:22Hey, uh, you know, if you wanna hang here with your brother and his friends, I can push the reservation.
04:27Oh, no, no, I'm ready.
04:27Let's go.
04:29Okay.
04:29Yeah.
04:30Well, it was great meeting y'all.
04:31Big fan of what you do for the community.
04:33And don't forget to brush it.
04:35You don't want it getting smelly again.
04:43Who the hell was that?
04:44How am I supposed to know?
04:45She's your sister.
04:47Uh, aren't you dating her?
04:48What?
04:49No, you told me not to.
04:52I told you you could.
04:53If I changed firehouses.
04:56Bro, that was a quip, okay?
04:59Did you at least call her?
05:02No, you didn't.
05:04I think you blew it, bro.
05:10Four, nine, Dr. Pearson, two, one, nine.
05:13Bernard Morelli, 58, lives alone in Angeleno Heights.
05:19I don't think we've met.
05:22Ben Hooks, major crimes.
05:23The case dropped on my lap an hour ago.
05:26Yeah.
05:27He dropped on my floor.
05:29Athena Grant?
05:30Have you, uh, talked to the doctors already?
05:33I did.
05:34Gonna be a day or two till toxicology report comes back.
05:37Mm, supportive care till we know what we're dealing with.
05:40That thing's a poison?
05:42Mm, something rare.
05:43I've seen arsenic, mercury, lead.
05:46This ain't that.
05:48Got any leads?
05:49One.
05:50Last person he spoke to.
05:52Me.
05:53He walked into the station, asked for you specifically.
05:58Why?
06:02I've been racking the green.
06:04I never forget a face.
06:06And that name?
06:08Morelli.
06:09Doesn't ring a bell.
06:10Uh-uh.
06:10Not a jingle.
06:11So you spoke to him?
06:12No, he spoke to me.
06:14And then he vomited blood.
06:16What'd he say?
06:17That he was there to report a murder, his own.
06:21And I'm glad to believe it.
06:24Well, they're talking about notifying his next of kin.
06:27We should do that.
06:29We.
06:30The man came directly to me.
06:33I would like to know why.
06:40Ian Bradley.
06:41All right, he's 30, which is like a decade older than May.
06:45Aren't you, like, 30?
06:46Not yet.
06:47And that's not the point.
06:47I mean, where's she meeting 30-year-olds?
06:49I think they met getting arrested together.
06:51What?
06:51Yeah.
06:52May got arrested at Presbyterian.
06:54It was this whole social justice thing protecting a dying guy's rights.
06:57Can't compete with that.
06:59Can't compete with what?
07:01May's new boyfriend.
07:04Wait, hold on.
07:06You and May?
07:07Yeah.
07:08They, uh, had an evening.
07:10Robbie never called her.
07:12Rob's?
07:12Not very chivalrous.
07:14That's not what happened.
07:15So now she's dating this new nurse from Presbyterian, Ian Bradley.
07:18Oh.
07:19New guy.
07:21Okay, go May.
07:22New guy?
07:23How new?
07:24I mean, it looks like he's only been a nurse for about a year.
07:27Oh, he's 30.
07:28What's he been doing this whole time?
07:29Who's 30?
07:30The nurse at Presbyterian that May's dating.
07:33Oh, nice.
07:33Which one?
07:34Ian Bradley.
07:35I'm a pro football player.
07:37Damn.
07:38Let me see that.
07:40He ran a 4-4-40?
07:43Damn it.
07:46So, May and Robbie?
07:48Or an item, apparently.
07:50But then he ghosted her.
07:51Didn't even call.
07:52Look, I did not ghost her.
07:54Harry told me not to call.
07:55Bro, it was a quip.
07:57What are we quipping about?
07:58Robbie dumped May, totally ghosted her.
08:00Now she's dating some famous football players.
08:02And then Robbie still has feelings for her.
08:03Well, why did you ghost her?
08:05Hmm.
08:05Two seasons in the NFL doesn't make you famous, right?
08:08Well, he's more famous than you, so.
08:11I don't need fame.
08:12I'm a first responder.
08:13So is he.
08:14He's a nurse.
08:15That's a second responder.
08:18I can't believe Buck is missing this.
08:20Where is Buck?
08:22Anybody seen him?
08:36Okay, come on.
08:38Come on, you're good.
08:39You're good.
08:47Good job, man.
08:48Good job, good job.
08:51Hey, Morelli.
08:52Do I have a word?
08:54About what?
08:55Your father.
08:58So, what do you do this time?
09:01He's currently in the ICU.
09:04The doctors think he might have been poisoned.
09:07Is he gonna be okay?
09:09It's hard to say.
09:11We're waiting for him to regain consciousness.
09:13All the doctors can do is supportive care until we know what's in his system.
09:19Well, um, whatever it is, I just hope that it's slow and painful.
09:28I take it you weren't on the best of terms with your father.
09:32I haven't spoken to my father in years, not since he walked out chasing a story
09:38and left me with my stage four pancreatic mother.
09:42Um, I'm sorry.
09:44He wasn't.
09:45She died alone.
09:47You said he was chasing a story?
09:49He's an investigative journalist.
09:52I can't say I know his byline.
09:54Cause he writes under a pseudonym, Chester Caulfield.
09:58Bit pretentious, but he said it was for his own safety.
10:01So he has enemies.
10:04Politicians, CEOs, criminals, and the cartel, the mob.
10:09I'm sorry, but if you guys are looking for who might want to kill my father,
10:13I've got your work cut out for you.
10:16Mr. Malloy, would you like an attorney present?
10:19I'm good.
10:20Nothing to hide.
10:21You've bossed local 977 for three decades.
10:25When did you first meet Chester?
10:26At my office, sniffing trash cans.
10:29Is that the same office where you embezzled two million dollars in?
10:33Union Dears.
10:34That's his story.
10:35I don't know about you, but an accusation like that would piss me off.
10:39I moved on.
10:40Yeah, you were booted out.
10:41Right after he exposed the city controller, you took kickbacks from phony nonprofits.
10:47Exposed?
10:47I'd say insinuated.
10:49His reports were full of omissions.
10:51It was full of emissions.
10:52You lied to the EPA about your benzene count.
10:55We're committed to the environment.
10:56You're an oil company.
10:58I'm a greenfluencer.
10:59You preached the truth about pollution.
11:01Yes.
11:02And skincare.
11:03Is that why you sold lip gloss with microplastics?
11:06It was a sponsored post.
11:09What's the big deal?
11:11Cancer?
11:11You had a personal vendetta.
11:13It was a witch hunt.
11:14That muckraker kicked every anthill he could find.
11:16Sooner or later, you get bit.
11:19If I wanted to kill the guy, I'd do it barehanded.
11:23They're all liars.
11:25He blew the whistle on every one of them.
11:29No wonder everyone hates him.
11:31Yeah.
11:32Sorry to interrupt.
11:33Those tox results are in.
11:34Did they find our poison?
11:36Morelli's urine tested positive for polonium-210.
11:39Sounds nuclear.
11:41Radioactive, actually.
11:43It's an alpha emitter.
11:45Cooks you from the inside out.
11:46Like a hot dog in the microwave.
11:48How would a person get their hands on some?
11:50This quantity wouldn't be simple.
11:53Small amounts are used in satellites and anti-static brushes.
11:56And of course, there's its best known use.
11:58Which is?
12:00Russian political assassinations.
12:06Everyone's spread thin as it is.
12:07We're aware it's an emergency.
12:08Hey, Josh.
12:09What did the Montgrove ER say?
12:10They're backed up.
12:11Same as Presbyterian.
12:12I'll try St. Ray's.
12:13I have a call to experience some chest pains.
12:15Dispatch a BLS unit until the ER can take them.
12:17I can't.
12:17We don't have any RAs in service.
12:18Monitor symptoms and come and get me if it looks like it's a cardiac event.
12:21It's a no-go at St. Ray's.
12:23Congratulations.
12:23You just hit your first level zero.
12:25You're telling me that there are no ambulances
12:26because every ambulance in LA is stuck at a hospital?
12:29How is that even possible?
12:31The dark triad of spring breaks, Lucy's and Ann Dodger dogs.
12:34All we can do is sit tight until the logjam clears.
12:36So what do we say now?
12:379-1-1, hold please?
12:38Worth a try.
12:39Why do I feel like this is all my fault?
12:41We field calls as we get them, just like any other first responder.
12:43You're not an air traffic controller and you're not God.
12:45No, I'm just the boss.
12:46Hey.
12:47Hey, we're fifth in line at Presbyterian with an open globe injury.
12:50Anything you can do to grease the skids?
12:52Yeah, I'm working on it.
12:56Come on, what's the hold up?
12:57These people need help.
13:03What'd she say?
13:04She's a little testy.
13:06Level zero is not fun for anyone.
13:08And you never see it coming.
13:10All right, we're moving.
13:18Thank you for your patience, everyone.
13:20We're getting you through as fast as we can.
13:22Hey, Robby.
13:25Harry.
13:26And Robby, right?
13:27I promise I'll get you in as quickly as you can.
13:30What a gentleman.
13:32Should've called her, Robbs.
13:369-1-1, what's your emergency?
13:38It's my son, he can't breathe.
13:40We just sat down to eat and it's like, he can't catch us back.
13:43We're at Jim's Burgers on first.
13:45What's your name, ma'am?
13:46Jillian.
13:47My son is Micah.
13:48He's 10.
13:49He's getting over a cold.
13:52I can't.
13:54I'm trying to talk.
13:55Is that whistling sound just breathing?
13:57Yes.
13:57I think it's...
13:58His throat is closing up.
14:00Oh God, Micah.
14:01Hey, it's okay.
14:02Stay with me.
14:03Uh, does he have any allergies?
14:05No medical history?
14:06He was born with a laryngeal cleft.
14:08It's a gap between his larynx and his...
14:10His esophagus.
14:10What type?
14:11Type 1.
14:12My LT's doctor said we'd be fine without a surgery,
14:14and we weren't.
14:15And so he got a bad cold.
14:16Congestion's blocking his airway.
14:18I still don't have any units.
14:19If we don't get someone there in five,
14:20he could lose his life.
14:21We can call for mutual aid from Beverly Hills F2.
14:23It'll take 20 minutes.
14:24What?
14:25What's the nearest hospital?
14:26Six blocks away.
14:27So we have five minutes to get them six blocks.
14:29She's freaking out, Maddie.
14:30If she stays and does compressions,
14:31he might be able to make it.
14:32Yeah, or he won't.
14:33It's your call.
14:35Let Presbyterian know they're coming.
14:36Ma'am, hi.
14:37My name is Maddie.
14:38I'm the supervisor here,
14:39and I need you to do something for me.
14:40Don't do anything, please.
14:42He's turning blue.
14:43There's an ER just a few blocks away.
14:45I need you to get your son in the car and drive.
14:47Can you do that?
14:48Yeah, I can do that.
14:50Keep breathing, okay?
14:51Just keep breathing.
14:52Is it?
14:53Is it?
14:54Is it?
14:54Is it?
14:55Okay.
14:55Take care, Mrs. Davies, and watch out for straws.
14:59Pardon me.
15:00Hold on, Captain.
15:01I got one more form for you.
15:03Thanks.
15:03Yeah.
15:06There's material in ER.
15:07Go ahead.
15:08This is Josh Russo with emergency services.
15:10We have a pediatric priority one coming to you now.
15:13No laryngeal cleft with stridor progressing to total obstruction.
15:16How far up?
15:17Two to three minutes.
15:18Coronado and Beverly.
15:18Self-drive.
15:19They go right out of the exit and then left on Third Street.
15:22How many blocks?
15:23Four.
15:24You're doing great.
15:24Just keep driving.
15:25Okay.
15:26Uh, excuse me.
15:28I got a P1P hitting the door in three.
15:30Prep and airway kit.
15:33Oh, God.
15:33Micah.
15:34I know he sounds bad, but you have to ignore it, okay?
15:36Whatever you hear, do not look in the back seat.
15:38Okay.
15:39I'm looking at traffic and it's clear.
15:41Just focus on the road and you'll be there in no time.
15:43We've let them know you're coming.
15:45It stopped.
15:46He's not breathing.
15:47Focus on the road.
15:48You're almost there.
15:49Micah!
15:50No, no, no, no.
15:51Micah, wake up.
15:54Jillian, are you there?
16:01Jillian, are you there?
16:08Jillian?
16:09Jillian, are you there?
16:13We're not gonna make you.
16:15What do we do?
16:15What do you mean, what do we do?
16:17Your pet's patient was in a crash on Beverly.
16:19Where's that airway kit?
16:22Excuse me, excuse me, excuse me.
16:25Yeah?
16:26How long until you're back in service?
16:32Oh, where's he going?
16:33I don't know, but he's fast.
16:35All right, let's go, let's go, let's go!

18:51Apart from defiling your desk. No, we have not
18:54But I know all about you sergeant grant
18:58LAPD veteran with a storied career
19:01Not looking for advancement who chooses to work the streets and how do you know any of that about me?
19:07I even know you were the unnamed passenger who landed a jumbo jet on the 110 freeway
19:12You were going to write a story about me
19:15It was a good story, but I am NOT in the habit of exposing heroes who choose to remain anonymous
19:22You weren't looking for accolades. I respect that
19:26I know I can trust you
19:30Have they told you what killed me yet?
19:32Mr. Morelli
19:33You're not dead
19:36Of course I am
19:39There's no antidote or treatment for acute polonium 210 poisoning
19:44I have a couple of days
19:47Maybe less
19:48To see you
19:51Put the cuffs
19:52On the one who's responsible
19:54Mr. Morelli
19:55I'm not a detective
19:57You don't have to be
19:58I'm gonna tell you who did it
20:01All you have to do
20:02Is test the murder weapon
20:04Murder weapon?
20:06Water bottle
20:06On my bike
20:09Locked up outside your police station
20:11Somebody spiked it
20:12And you say you know who?
20:14For God's sakes
20:16Don't share this with anybody until you get the results
20:19Especially not that detective who was
20:22Conveniently assigned to this case
20:26Test the bottle
20:29Polonium 210 carries a chemical signature
20:32Every patch can be traced back to the manufacturer
20:36And if I'm right
20:38You will find a nexus with the name I'm about to tell you
20:51Sergeant, would you care to explain to me why I just got a call from the crime lab telling me
20:57that the test results on my water bottle will be ready in eight hours?
21:00That's good news because they told me 12
21:02What the hell is going on?
21:06Morelli, he thinks his assailant spiked his water bottle
21:09So the lab is running tests to see if there are traces of polonium 210
21:13When did he tell you this?
21:14When I sat down with him
21:17There's some reason you didn't mention it to me?
21:20Uh, yeah
21:23When I promised a dying man that I wouldn't
21:26What are you playing at, Sergeant?
21:28I was just waiting for the test to come back
21:30Before I shared this with you
21:33Summit Towers
21:35Constructed in 2019
21:37But never finished
21:39Yeah, I heard of those
21:41Developers ran out of funds during COVID
21:43Yeah, that's what they claim
21:44But Morelli was about to tell the world something else
21:47Oh, you think someone poisoned him because of an unfinished condo?
21:50No, not someone
21:52Him
21:55Nicolai Castor
21:56You're familiar?
21:58Yeah, my kid's school has a wing named after him
22:01He's a real estate mogul
22:03And a go-between for Russian investors
22:05Morelli was about to blow his financials wide open
22:09And prove that Summit Towers was never supposed to be finished
22:12Why did someone start building a 30-story tower with no plan to finish them?
22:16To claim it as a loss, which Castor did
22:18And then he laundered billions of dollars for his friends in Moscow
22:22And then what? He went to the KGB playbook to silence Bernard Morelli?
22:27He says he has receipts
22:29Polonium 210 has a chemical fingerprint
22:31We can trace it back to where it was manufactured
22:34And I'd be willing to bet money
22:36That is here
22:37Polrock Nuclear Works in Glassoff
22:39All in five
22:42Nicolai Castor
22:46So what do you think?
22:49I think I should follow up on all this
22:51Okay, all right
22:53Well I'll go through Bernard's notebooks and we can start building our case
22:57I'm gonna handle that too
23:00Sergeant, I spoke to my captain
23:02She's not thrilled that a patrol sergeant is tagging along on something as high profile as this
23:09Tagging along?
23:10Yeah
23:11Her words
23:13You've been a great asset
23:14Until I brought you a suspect that you won't touch
23:18I didn't say that
23:19It'd be smarter not to
23:22School wings
23:24Very expensive
23:27Thank you for your help sergeant
23:31Get yourself a detective shield next time
23:48Uh...
23:49Hey, hey, hey
23:50Hey!
23:52That's a bad day when you gotta restock anti-diarrheals
23:56I... yeah
24:00Um...
24:05Hey, I need your help with something
24:08What's up?
24:14Trucks
24:16What's your take on trucks?
24:19Um...
24:20Pro?
24:22I'm thinking of switching it up
24:24Yeah?
24:26What's wrong with your old truck?
24:27Uh...
24:27I just... I don't really haul anything
24:29Uh... so maybe it's a waste to... to have a... a truck
24:34Mmm...
24:35I don't haul. I'm still a truck guy
24:38I, uh...
24:39I think I'm a hatchback guy
24:42You do not look like a hatchback guy
24:44You look...
24:48Terrible
24:51Uh... no, I'm... I'm fine
24:52No, that's... not fine
24:56Just a little... a little food poisoning
24:58You know...
25:00That bad sushi, I think
25:03Yeah, I had that sushi
25:05Hey, Eddie!
25:06Yeah?
25:06I think you left your phone in here
25:08Your locker's ringing
25:09It could be Christopher
25:11Hopefully you didn't eat that sushi
25:12Hey...
25:24Let's eat!
25:41Hey
25:44Let's go, Buck. Look alive.
25:45Yeah.
25:50I'm so sorry, Bernard.
25:52I really am.
25:54I hoped I could bring you
25:56some justice today.
25:59Just know
26:00that I'm not giving up on this.
26:04It doesn't matter now, anyway.
26:08Maybe none of it ever did.
26:10I can't believe that.
26:12You have got to know
26:13that your work made a difference.
26:15I did it.
26:18For all the good I was trying to do,
26:21I hurt so many people.
26:25I burned every bridge,
26:28pushed all my friends away,
26:32abandoned my wife,
26:36alienated my son.
26:40And now who is here
26:41to mourn me?
26:44No.
26:46Chester Caulfield
26:47might get a decent obit.
26:50But Bernard Morelli
26:52died a long time ago.
26:54Alone.
26:59You are not
27:01alone.
27:11Hey, hey, Jim.
27:13Buckley, what did I tell you
27:14about interrupting me
27:15while I'm doing
27:15after-action reports?
27:18You need to fire me.
27:20I think a warning
27:21would be enough.
27:23No.
27:24No, you...
27:26You have to fire me
27:27for stealing meds
27:28from the rig.
27:39What did you take?
27:41Nothing but, um...
27:44a fentanyl.
27:45Almost.
27:48Buck, that's a felony.
27:49I know it is.
27:51And I put it back.
27:53All of it.
27:54But only because
27:55the tongues went off.
27:57And I don't know
27:58if I trust myself
27:59to do that again.
28:01How long have you
28:02been using?
28:03Since the car accident
28:04in New Mexico.
28:08They prescribed me
28:09oxycodone
28:10and I ran out.
28:13I need it.
28:15I need it, Jim.
28:19Are you high right now?
28:21No.
28:22No, never at work.
28:25Yeah, you look like
28:26you've been in withdrawal
28:27what, a day or two?
28:31Have you told anyone
28:32else about this?
28:34Your sister, Eddie,
28:35anybody?
28:37Not just you, Captain.
28:42Look.
28:47Protocol says
28:48I relieve you of duty.
28:50Report this
28:50so the department
28:51can determine
28:52when, if ever,
28:53you come back
28:54to work
28:54and if you face
28:55criminal charges.
29:00Or
29:02I keep this in-house
29:04and watch you
29:05like a hawk
29:06and risk my own career.
29:07No.
29:07No, I won't let you do that.
29:09That's why you have to fire me.
29:11I'm not gonna let you
29:12off that easy.
29:15You came to me for help
29:17and that's what
29:18but we're gonna get you, okay?
29:21Starting tonight
29:22after I call the chief.
29:25It's not fair
29:26to the citizens
29:26of Los Angeles
29:27to rob them
29:27of such a stellar
29:29firefighter.
29:30And I'm hoping
29:30he'll see it that way too.
29:35Jim, Jim,
29:36this is not me.
29:38Look, I know.
29:39I know.
29:40You're not the first person
29:41to get hooked
29:42after an injury, okay?
29:47And given the timing
29:48I can't say that
29:49I'm shocked.
29:50What, what is that
29:51supposed to mean?
29:53Fuck, this week
29:54it'll be one year
29:55since we lost Bobby.
30:01I, I didn't,
30:02I didn't remember.
30:05I must have blocked it out.
30:06Yeah, well, that's grief.
30:09You don't see it coming
30:10and then it sucker punches you
30:12in the face.
30:18Benard,
30:19can you hear me?
30:22I have someone here
30:24who wants to see you.
30:31Hey, Ned.
30:33Peter.
30:35How did she talk you
30:37into it?
30:38She's a very persuasive woman.
30:42I'll give you two
30:43some privacy.
30:54It's good to see you, son.
30:58And why'd you leave?
31:01Me.
31:02Mom.
31:04She died in a bed
31:05just like this one.
31:07Looking like you are
31:08right now.
31:09Why?
31:11Just to
31:12write some story?
31:14I thought
31:15I was protecting you.
31:18I don't understand.
31:20There was always
31:21threats.
31:23Danger.
31:26If I,
31:27I couldn't,
31:28I couldn't stay
31:29and keep you safe.
31:31You could have quit.
31:34I'm so sorry, son.
31:38I really am.
31:50I'm sorry, too, Dad.
31:51It's okay.
31:54I'm gonna get what
31:55few news hounds
31:57ever get.
32:00An ending.
32:15I'm gonna get what
32:25we just need a moment.
32:27We just need a moment.
32:36Did you say everything
32:37that you needed to say?
32:40I don't know.
32:43I don't know.
32:44I don't know.
32:47Not really.
32:49Maybe he did.
32:52He was a brave man,
32:54your father.
32:55Was he?
32:56He believed deeply
32:57in justice.
32:59I can understand that.
33:05Put your hands
33:06behind your back.
33:15How did you know?
33:17Before I came
33:18to see you,
33:19I got a call
33:20from the crime lab.
33:21We tested
33:22the water bottle
33:23on his spike.
33:25The one that you spiked.
33:28Educational levels
33:29of polonium-210
33:31were traced back
33:32to your science class.
33:34You must have
33:35squirreled away
33:35for years
33:37to get enough
33:38for a lethal dose.
33:45Teachers are nothing
33:46if not patient,
33:47I guess.
33:51He really was
33:52a terrible father.
33:53Oh, yeah.
33:54I can see that.
34:12This feels wrong.
34:13We're searching
34:14his house
34:14like he's a criminal.
34:15We are not.
34:16We are just making
34:17it easier for him
34:18to get better
34:18by removing
34:19any future temptation.
34:21I knew something
34:21was wrong.
34:22Then he convinced me
34:23I was overreacting.
34:24It's part of the cycle.
34:26You ask questions,
34:27he deflects,
34:28then you feel guilty
34:29for doubting him.
34:30Now I'm wishing
34:31I were to question
34:32more after New Mexico.
34:40You're letting me win?
34:44Uh, yes, sorry.
34:46I, uh,
34:47I got a little
34:49distracted.
34:50It sucks to have
34:51people touching
34:52your stuff.
34:54Yeah.
34:55It also just sucks
34:57because they're doing
34:59it because they
34:59don't trust me.
35:03would you trust you?
35:09Probably not.
35:12Looks like it's clear
35:13he wasn't lying.
35:14There's nothing
35:15to find here.
35:16Thanks for not
35:17making me look.
35:17They're just some things
35:18his sister doesn't
35:19want to know.
35:20You think I made
35:21the right decision
35:21letting him recover here?
35:23Maybe he should be
35:23in a facility
35:24where he can be supervised.
35:25He has an ex-nurse,
35:27three paramedics,
35:28and two EMTs.
35:29I think he's
35:30good on supervision.
35:39Well, a little elevated,
35:40but that's not unexpected.
35:45Hey, what do you think
35:46the disciplinary committee
35:47is going to do to me?
35:48I think they're
35:49going to take it
35:49seriously,
35:51but also taking
35:52consideration that
35:53you reported yourself.
35:54You worked within
35:55chain of command.
35:57You in that
35:58chain of command.
36:00I know you see it
36:01as this thing
36:02that holds you back,
36:03but it's not.
36:04It's the thing
36:05that ties us all together
36:08so that no one person
36:09has to carry the weight
36:10alone.
36:16Yeah, I guess.
36:18You are not hidden.
36:23There's never been a moment
36:26you were forgotten.
36:29You are not hopeless.
36:33Though you have been broken,
36:36your innocence stolen,
36:39I hear you whisper
36:42underneath your breath.
36:48I hear your S.O.S.,
36:52your S.O.S.
36:58I will send out an army
37:03to find you
37:05in the middle of the darkest night.
37:09It's true.
37:11I will rescue you.
37:17I will never stop marching
37:22to reach you.
37:24In the middle of the hardest fight,
37:28it's true.
37:30I will rescue you.
37:36I hear you.
37:38I hear the whisper
37:39underneath your breath.
37:45I hear you whisper
37:49I hear you whisper
37:49You have nothing left.
37:56I will send out an army to find you in the middle of the darkest night.
38:06It's true, I will rescue you.
38:16I think this one is something for the sauce.
38:21I'm going to grab the drinks.
38:24Oh, hi, Robbie.
38:25How you doing?
38:26Good to see you.
38:27Uh, you too.
38:32I think this is your order, but I'm pretty sure they screwed it up.
38:37I should be fine.
38:40Ian seems pretty cool.
38:42Yeah, I heard you guys did a case together.
38:44You saved a kid's life.
38:45Yeah, he did most of the saving.
38:48I just watched and marveled.
38:51I get the appeal.
38:54You know, I hope you guys are really happy together.
38:58Together?
38:59Robbie, we're not...
39:01I am not dating Ian.
39:05Since when?
39:07Always.
39:08I mean, he's just helping me figure out this whole nursing school thing.
39:11You want to be a nurse.
39:12I know, it sounds crazy.
39:13No, it sounds perfect.
39:16I mean, I think you'd be great at anything.
39:37Hey.
39:39You're up.
39:41Hey.
39:41Uh, yeah, how long was I out?
39:45Well, you were asleep when I got here,
39:47and that was about five hours ago.
39:50Look, I'm sorry.
39:52No, don't be.
39:54You must have needed it.
39:56No, I mean, uh...
40:00I'm sorry about the anniversary.
40:04I'm sure the last thing you want to be doing today
40:07is babysitting me.
40:13We take care of each other every day.
40:17So being right here is exactly where I'm supposed to be.
40:24You know, he's, uh...
40:27He's been on my mind these past few days.
40:31And I know this is weird to say,
40:35but I feel like I know him now in a way that I didn't a year ago.
40:39He really loved you, Buck.
40:42But I think he would have wished that part had remained a mystery.
40:54The dispatch says we need a vehicular extraction.
40:56So we roll up expecting an accident scene.
41:00Instead, we find a girl locked in her car,
41:02and she can't figure out how to open the door.
41:04She couldn't pull the handle herself?
41:05Apparently not.
41:06So Bobby tries everything, right?
41:08He's shouting, he's gesturing,
41:11but she's freaking out, is not listening to him,
41:13and she has a full-blown panic attack.
41:15Bobby decides that we have to break the window.
41:17So we do.
41:18And then when he reaches in to help her out,
41:20she sprays him in the face.
41:22What? Like pepper spray?
41:24An air freshener!
41:25Okay!
41:28Well, what did we miss?
41:30Somebody sprayed Bobby with air freshener.
41:33Oh, yeah.
41:34He smelled like lavender for three days.
41:38That poor kid in the car.
41:40She must have been traumatized.
41:41She was 26.
41:46You feeling better?
41:49Yeah.
41:50Yeah.
41:50Yeah, I am.
41:51I really think I'm through the worst of it.
41:54Oh.
42:00It's midnight.
42:02We survived the year.
42:06Yeah, he got us through.
42:12To Bobby.
42:16To Bobby.
42:17To Bobby.
42:44You're cold.
42:44Oh, no.
42:58Too bad.
43:01There's no reason.
43:02The worst thing is that...
43:02Did you hear the fire?
