00:05Hard to say goodbye?
00:09I mean, so much of my life happened here.
00:13All those years with Tamara, with a Jackson, and now you.
00:21I feel like every important thing in my adult life happened in here.
00:25But now you're emerging from this chrysalis
00:28and becoming a beautiful butterfly.
00:32Is that too much?
00:33No, it's perfect. You're perfect.
00:41Sorry, am I really?
00:42No, no, we're just getting a slow start.
00:44Sorry, come on in.
00:45Well, you can put some of your stuff in my room for now.
00:48Oh, that's all I have.
00:49What? Are you kidding?
00:50No, car life is all about minimalism.
00:53But if you have anything you want to leave behind, feel free.
00:56You know, I mean, Tim has a bed. Do you really need to bring yours?
01:00What?
01:02Sorry.
01:03Could you actually just, um, put that back?
01:07You are welcome to come visit anytime you want.
01:11Yes.
01:12Take care of his place for me.
01:20This is so gross. I don't even want to put this on my chair.
01:24I'm calling it.
01:25There's not enough dry cleaning in the world.
01:28Why did that idiot have to throw his gun in the sewer?
01:30I know, as if murder wasn't bad enough, he had to go and ruin my favorite boots.
01:35What's that smell?
01:37That is the sweet aroma of a closed case.
01:40It smells like industrial waste.
01:42You know, sometimes I wonder what I'm still doing here.
01:45I'm rich, you know. Like, really rich.
01:48I don't need any of this.
01:49What are you going to do, huh? Retire? Have lunch at the country club every day?
01:54I'd also do Pilates and read books and go shopping and travel.
02:01Being the boss isn't just about getting the work done.
02:04You gotta play a smart political game.
02:06I know. I've filled in for you before.
02:08A day here or there is not the same.
02:12Tim, you are the watch commander now.
02:16No acting, no interim. You're him.
02:22Now, problem solving is never ending.
02:24Memos pile up fast. If you don't have a system, you'll fall behind.
02:28Understood.
02:28Um, yeah, that's it. Any questions?
02:31No. I'm good.
02:32All right.
02:35That's my desk.
02:36Right.
02:39Sorry, it's gonna take some getting used to.
02:41Um, so if you need anything...
02:43I know where the task force office is.
02:45Good luck.
02:50Hey, I don't want to make you late for roll call, but girlfriend Lucy has a couple of things she'd
02:55like to say to you before you started your shift.
02:57So, good luck.
02:59You've earned this.
03:00And you've got this.
03:03Girlfriend Lucy?
03:04Yes.
03:05Well, technically, I guess it's live-in girlfriend Lucy now, so...
03:08Technically, I think you have to be fully unpacked before we can call you then.
03:12But that's not the point.
03:13Either way, L-I-G-F Lucy is officially clocking out,
03:18and Sergeant Chen is taking over.
03:20This is weird.
03:21Maybe.
03:22But our jobs are too important to let our relationship interfere.
03:25We really need to be professional.
03:28Okay.
03:29Well, uh, I appreciate L-I-G-F Lucy's kind words.
03:34I will tell her if I see her.
03:36You will tell her.
03:38Okay.
03:40First day as roving supervisor.
03:43Nervous?
03:44Oh, no.
03:45Nothing could be more challenging than working with the Dream Team, so...
03:47At least on night shift your boyfriend wasn't a watch, Commander.
03:51Wow.
03:52I do have a good plan for dealing with that, though.
03:54It's strict compartmentalization.
03:56Sounds unhealthy.
03:57What? No.
03:58I think it's good.
03:59Clear boundaries.
04:00And no confusion.
04:01See you at roll call.
04:03So, any advice for dealing with your OTO?
04:07Nolan's tricky.
04:08He seems like the nicest person in the world, but he can lay down the law.
04:11Hmm.
04:12Don't take him for granted.
04:13I understand.
04:16Hey.
04:18It is so weird seeing Tim in Grey's office.
04:21It feels like everything's changing all at once.
04:23Tim's the new Grey.
04:24I'm the new Tim.
04:25Miles is the new Selena.
04:26It's...
04:27So, who am I?
04:28You...
04:29You're just Nolan.
04:42Okay, knock it off.
04:44We have a number of changes today.
04:46First, Nolan will take over training Officer Penn.
04:50Finally got him straightened out, so try not to mess it up.
04:52I'll do my best.
04:53But don't do your best.
04:54Do my best.
04:56Second, Sergeant Chen is taking over as roving supervisor.
04:59Woo!
05:02And finally, in T-36 hours, the President of the United States arrives in Los Angeles.
05:07Ugh!
05:09Sorry, I think I'm coming down with something.
05:12Probably just an allergy.
05:14It is an honor to host the President in our fair city.
05:17Now, we will ensure that his visit is safe and productive.
05:19A Secret Service advance team lands shortly, and they'll be operating out of our station for the next 48 hours.
05:24Let's show them how real law enforcement is done.
05:27Copy?
05:28Copy.
05:29Yes, sir.
05:29Dismissed.
05:30Sergeant Chen.
05:31A minute?
05:32Yep.
05:34Okay.
05:35This right here.
05:36This is the current department bible on presidential visits.
05:39Wow.
05:39So don't lose it?
05:40Don't even joke about losing.
05:42Oh, wow.
05:43That's really intricate.
05:45Yeah.
05:45Apparently, this President guy is pretty important.
05:47Look, I've been coordinated with the Secret Service for the last month.
05:50The only thing left to lock down is the motorcade route.
05:54And since you're a watch commander, now it falls to me, right?
05:57Okay.
05:58Correct.
05:58This is not as simple as getting the President from point A to point B.
06:01The route needs to comply with all Secret Service protocols.
06:04My recent proposal is in there.
06:05We're just waiting for a sign off on a few items.
06:07Am I locked into your plan?
06:08No.
06:09If you think you can do better, feel free.
06:10But it would be a heavy lift on your first day.
06:13And the rethink can't get in the way of your other duties.
06:15So if you were me, stick to the current plan.
06:18Got it.
06:19Okay.
06:19So if I do lose it...
06:22Oh!
06:22I'm joking.
06:24Gray would have thought that was funny.
06:26Doubt it.
06:27Chen.
06:28Um...
06:30Roll call was okay.
06:32Right?
06:34Speaking as Sergeant Chen.
06:36Because Lucy has left the building.
06:37Yes, I remember.
06:38You were maybe, like, a tad too gruff?
06:40They're grown-ups.
06:41I'm not gonna coddle them.
06:42No, I totally agree.
06:43It's just, you know, Gray would always end on a good note.
06:46Be safe out there.
06:47Okay.
06:47Well, that was his thing.
06:49You know, I need to find my own style.
06:52I know.
06:54And you will.
06:57Every T.O. rookie relationship is unique.
07:00As long as it's based in respect, we shouldn't have any problems.
07:03So, what is next in your Rookbook checklist?
07:05Cultivating and informing.
07:07Okay.
07:08But shouldn't that wait until after the circus comes to town tomorrow?
07:11Every day's a circus in Los Angeles.
07:12Part of your training is going to be multitasking.
07:14I assume you've already started cultivating a list of potential CIs?
07:17Oh, yes, sir.
07:18My top candidate is a high-end sex worker I helped out a few weeks back.
07:21Good instincts, but I wouldn't start with her.
07:25A CI cop relationship is complicated on a good day without the emotional complexities that her profession might bring.
07:31All right.
07:32Well, what about Dave Kaiser?
07:34His garage does a lot of work on cars, but it's on the front.
07:37How long has he been sober?
07:38A couple months.
07:39Not nearly long enough.
07:41All right.
07:43Fast Andy.
07:44Fast Andy.
07:45Now, he has good connections, but he's not that bright.
07:51I'm not looking for a financial advisor.
07:53Most criminals are dumb.
07:54Right, but the CI needs to be smart enough to be able to maintain a lie.
07:59Yeah, I know that.
07:59I've recruited informants before back in Texas.
08:03Okay.
08:03It's your call.
08:04I'm only here for guidance.
08:05If you think Fast Andy is your guy, let's go recruit him and see how that goes.
08:09I'm not buying it.
08:10Kids in self-care all day, every day?
08:14I think you'd get bored.
08:16So I'll start a business.
08:18Hire my BFF to run it with me.
08:20What kind of business?
08:22Harper.
08:22Lopez.
08:24Bradford.
08:25Good to see you.
08:26All right, Agent Butler.
08:27This is Sergeant Chen.
08:28She's taking over my old position.
08:29Protectors Harper and Lopez have volunteered to help you run down threats.
08:32I don't remember volunteering.
08:35Me neither.
08:36This is my right hand.
08:37Agent Kevin Kelvin.
08:38I'm sorry.
08:39Kevin...
08:39Kevin Kelvin?
08:41My parents are fans of alliteration.
08:42Who is it?
08:43Here's the watch list.
08:44As you know, most of them are cranks.
08:46But with POTUS landing tomorrow, we need to make sure that there's no signs of escalation.
08:50Major life events, weapon purchases...
08:52I know what escalation looks like.
08:53Of course you do.
08:54My apologies.
08:55You want us to start at the top of the list?
08:57No.
08:57They're an order of assessed threat.
08:59We'll take the most worrying.
09:00Why don't you start around...
09:0220?
09:03Sure thing.
09:08Start at 20?
09:09He might as well have just said, waste your entire day tugging a mouth breathers.
09:13That's what I'm saying.
09:14If we work for ourselves, we wouldn't have to jump through anybody else's hoops.
09:17Doing what?
09:20Well...
09:21Alright, so we have narrowed it down to private investigation term or spa resort.
09:26Two solid choices and we've only been thinking on it for three waste of time door knocks.
09:30Who's lucky number four?
09:32Jerry Hudson, 34.
09:34Gun enthusiast.
09:35Post under the username, six separate tyrannis414 and threats to the president are varied in many.
09:43Mr. Hudson, LAPD, we have a few questions for you.
09:52Angela.
09:58Jerry Hudson, LAPD!
10:00Come out with your hands up!
10:31Let's go.
10:36Clear.
10:38You got anything?
10:49Angela?
10:58Impressive and terrifying.
11:02Everything's labeled.
11:03Makes it easy to see what's missing.
11:05What is most troubling is sniper riffle.
11:08I think it means rifle.
11:10I think his spelling is the least of our problems.
11:21Now, it is important that you be completely clear with your CI.
11:24That's a delicate balance.
11:26You want to motivate your CI to cooperate, but at the same time, you can't keep them out of jail.
11:30You can't even promise to be lenient.
11:32I'm out of the DA.
11:32Got it.
11:34Andy, it's good to see you.
11:35Thanks for taking the time.
11:36No problem, I got to make this quick, though, because my boss, he's all over me about that business I
11:39have with the money.
11:40I mean, how am I supposed to know Obama's not on the 100?
11:44Those fakes can be tricky.
11:45Exactly.
11:47So, what's up?
11:48I have a business proposition.
11:50You've got connections on your side of the law.
11:51I've got connections on my side of the law.
11:53What do you say we work together?
11:55You want me to snitch?
11:55Nah, you don't have to tell me anything you don't want to, but if you hear something you want to
11:59pass along, hit me up.
12:00How much does it work to you?
12:02Well, let's not focus on the money.
12:03So, nothing?
12:04Look, LAPD's budget is limited, but the real benefit is our relationship.
12:08You help me, I help you.
12:11Help me how?
12:12We can discuss that.
12:14So, let's discuss it now.
12:177 out of 15, detectives requesting 1021 for assignment.
12:22Copy, calling shortly.
12:24Look, you murdered someone, I can't help you, right?
12:26But smaller offenses, I have some leeway.
12:29Okay, I can see the value in that.
12:31Okay.
12:32All right, we gotta go.
12:34Here's my card.
12:36The cell is on there.
12:38Thanks, man.
12:39Hey, you want a pop before your leave?
12:41I'll just open a bottle of vodka.
12:42We don't drink on a job.
12:44Yeah, me neither.
12:45Yeah.
12:50What?
12:50Nothing?
12:52You happy with how that went?
12:53Yes, sir.
12:54Now it's up to Andy.
13:01How am I supposed to make sure POTUS is never 10 minutes away from a hospital?
13:047 out of 300, we question supervisor on Blix and Hortense.
13:08Priority x-ray.
13:097 out of 300, responding.
13:16Oh, okay.
13:29Hey.
13:30Must be bad if the watch commander came out.
13:32Not good.
13:33Heavily armed suspect on the Secret Service watch list is in the wind.
13:35What exactly is this guy's history with the president?
13:38Cyber threat team flagged Hudson a year ago.
13:40He was posting about revolution, rooting out to hear any all-standard fare.
13:43About six months ago, he started demanding a meeting with the president, sending handwritten
13:46letters directly to the White House.
13:48Only copies of those letters.
13:49I'll send you copies of our reports.
13:51Not the reports, the originals.
13:52I can assure you our analysts are very thorough.
13:55No doubt, but I insist.
13:57Just say yes.
13:58Fine.
13:59But I want every available officer out looking for this guy.
14:02Okay.
14:03Absolutely.
14:04Sir, you go.
14:06You'll have all available resources in full coordination with our divisions.
14:09Good.
14:11I want to embed Agent Kelvin with your team.
14:13Yeah, no problem.
14:14We can do that for you.
14:15Officer Juarez?
14:18Agent Kelvin's going to ride with you.
14:20He's going to help question Hudson's family members.
14:22Let's go.
14:24At what point do you cancel the president's visit?
14:27We are nowhere near that point.
14:28For all we know, this guy could be out on a hunting trip.
14:30I know that this is high-level stuff.
14:34This is my everyday.
14:35So let's just chase down the bad guy and check him off the list.
14:40I'm just going to say it.
14:41Not a fan.
14:42That's twice.
14:43It felt like he defaulted talking to Tim, right?
14:44Am I crazy?
14:45No.
14:45I don't think he meant anything by that.
14:47We've worked together before.
14:48He's just comfortable with me.
14:49Mm-hmm.
14:50All right, I'll go talk to him.
14:51No, no.
14:52That definitely is worse.
14:53It's fine.
14:55We eat ingrained misogyny for breakfast.
14:58Lopez just sent details on our suspect, Jerry Hudson.
15:01She wants us to talk to Jerry's co-workers at 3rd Street Surplus.
15:04Copy that.
15:07That Lopez again?
15:08Fast-handed.
15:09He's got a lead already?
15:11Not exactly.
15:12It's mostly memes.
15:14Oh, this one's not a meme.
15:15He wants to know if I can track down a...
15:18Girl, he once dated.
15:19She was smoking hot.
15:21But if she's gotten fat, never mind.
15:23He's not interested.
15:27You're an Aries?
15:28Oh, yeah.
15:29It was a gift.
15:31I'm a Cancer.
15:32Of course.
15:33And I bet you're a Gemini ascending.
15:35You're good.
15:36I dabble.
15:38But I've learned to downplay it at work.
15:40Oh, me too.
15:41Everyone is so judgmental of New Age spirituality.
15:46How long have you been in the Secret Service?
15:48I joined right out of college.
15:50Let me guess.
15:51You watched In the Line of Fire at an impressionable age?
15:55Not exactly.
15:56Oh.
15:58I don't know you well enough yet.
15:59Oh, come on.
16:01This shop is a safe space.
16:03Here, I'll go first.
16:07I believe the reason why tarot works is because it's connected to the non-linearity of time.
16:15So the tarot isn't sending you a message.
16:17You are sending yourself a message from the future by influencing the cards.
16:22I have never thought about it that way before.
16:24That makes a lot of sense.
16:26I know.
16:27So, what made you want to protect the president?
16:32I had all these dreams when I was a kid.
16:35Real vivid.
16:37And they had all these historical details that I just couldn't possibly know any other way.
16:42Like from a past life?
16:43Yeah.
16:44And I realized I was Abraham Lincoln.
16:47Reborn.
16:49Like Abraham Lincoln Lincoln?
16:51That's the one.
16:54Well, that's why you joined the Secret Service.
16:56To stop what happened to you from happening to another president.
17:00It's not what I put on my application, but yeah.
17:05Well, that's amazing.
17:077 Adam 13, EMT report triggered Arbolo.
17:10Suspect Jerry Hudson was just taken to St. Stephen Hospital.
17:14You're the closest unit.
17:15Control, show us responding.
17:20Hey, did you just bring in Jerry Hudson?
17:22Yeah, he was in a single car accident.
17:24Lost control in the intersection.
17:25Hit a light pole.
17:26We need to talk to him.
17:27He's being triaged in Bay 12.
17:29He just took off.
17:30Call security and tell them to lock down the hospital.
17:32Any chance he's armed?
17:33I did a pretty thorough exam.
17:35If there was a gun, I would have felt it, but there was an empty knife sheet.
17:38Okay, 7 Lincoln 13, I need additional units to St. Stephen Hospital for at-large suspect
17:44Jerry Hudson.
17:45Description to follow.
17:46Brown hair, blue jeans, white shirt, blood on his face and neck from a head injury.
17:57What happened to his car?
17:59They were hooking it up to go to the in-pound lot when I left.
18:09Half a mile on foot with a head injury?
18:12I bet we beat him in.
18:17You'd lose that bet.
18:187 Adam 15, eyes on Hudson.
18:20We need backup at Man City.
18:21Get out!
19:00Motor pole guys are gonna kill me.
19:02Shops get damaged all the time.
19:03It's not your fault.
19:04I've totaled five.
19:05Seriously?
19:06Back in Texas, they would give you a medal for being a proper lawman.
19:11Hey, they found the tow truck abandoned a half mile away.
19:14Shouldn't be hard to find him, right?
19:15He won't make it far on foot.
19:16We have no idea how long he's been planning this.
19:18He could have switch cars stashed across the city, people helping him.
19:21Secret Service has to cancel the visit now, right?
19:23I wouldn't count on that.
19:24But they are changing his motorcade route, so I gotta go.
19:27What do you want us to do, Sarge?
19:28Right.
19:28Um, okay, get back to the station.
19:31Check in with Harper and Lopez.
19:32They're talking to Hudson's ex-girlfriend, so hopefully they'll learn something that'll help us find him.
19:36Okay.
19:36Hi.
19:39Hi, you doing, Margaret?
19:41I am Detective Harper.
19:42This is Detective Lopez.
19:43Hi.
19:44I hope you don't mind.
19:45My mom wanted to come.
19:47Whatever makes you most comfortable.
19:49I always knew that Jerry was bad news.
19:50Mom.
19:51Well, I did.
19:52How long did you two date?
19:54Uh, about ten months.
19:56Six months too long.
19:57But every time I tried to break it off, he had some crisis, and I felt guilty, so I stayed.
20:02When did his obsession with the president start?
20:05Um, he was already a little bit paranoid when I first met him.
20:10But it just felt like talk.
20:12Conspiracies about the deep state, you know.
20:15But then it got worse.
20:18He got worse.
20:19He thought that he was being watched, said his boss was CIA, that strangers on the street were reporting on
20:25him.
20:25He thought that if he could get to the president, he could make it stop.
20:28I gently pushed back, tried to encourage him to go see someone.
20:32He accused me of being one of them, threatened to hurt me.
20:36Did he?
20:37No.
20:39He punched a hole in the wall and left.
20:41I changed the locks, took my vacation time, went camping for three weeks.
20:46By the time I got back, he seemed to have moved on.
20:52It's such a tragedy.
20:55He really used to be a nice guy.
20:58Honey.
20:59Mom.
21:01He was.
21:02He made me feel special.
21:04He made me laugh.
21:06Um, and I just watched him go down the rabbit hole and there was nothing that I could do to
21:10save him.
21:13Do you have someplace safe you can stay until he's in custody?
21:17She can stay with me.
21:18I have a shotgun and I'm not afraid to use it.
21:20Let's try and avoid that.
21:22We'll give you a panic button and have units check on you regularly.
21:25Listen, you knew him as well as anyone.
21:28Do you really think that he would hurt the president?
21:33Uh, I think that Jerry is a very disturbed man who has the means and ability to do great violence.
21:44Hey, so, how'd it go today?
21:47Well, we have an armed wannabe assassin on the loose.
21:49President lands in 16 hours.
21:51Other than that...
21:52It's always something.
21:54Is there anything I can do?
21:55No.
21:56All under control.
21:57Secret Service brought additional resources.
21:59Nightship detectives are fully briefed, as are the sergeants.
22:02Okay.
22:03Good night.
22:08Hey, hi.
22:09I have bad news.
22:10I heard you have to redo the motorcade route.
22:12Yes.
22:13So, um, I'm gonna need to rain check on our romantic first night living together dinner.
22:17I'm sorry.
22:18That's okay.
22:19All right.
22:19You want me to stay around and help?
22:21No.
22:22You're worried it'll look like I don't trust you and I'm taking over.
22:25Yes.
22:26Even though I know that's not what you'd be doing, it's just, you know, appearances are important,
22:30especially right at the beginning of a new job, so...
22:32It's okay.
22:33Listen, I'll keep my ringer on, call me if you have any questions, and no one needs
22:36to know.
22:39You know, in my mind, I'm kissing you right now.
22:46So, first day is my T.O.
22:48How'd I do?
22:49As Sergeant Bradford would say, you performed all tasks adequately.
22:52My C.I. choice was, uh, disappointing.
22:56Well, I don't know.
22:57Maybe he'll pay off.
22:59We're good.
23:01We'll see.
23:02Maybe Abraham Lincoln was just messing with you.
23:04I thought about that, but he seems so earnest.
23:07Like, I think he really believes it.
23:11Are you sure you don't want to come sit on the couch?
23:13I'm not used to all this soft furniture, so it's gonna take me a minute.
23:19Hey, even if Agent Past Live does believe it, is that such a bad thing?
23:23Everyone thinks they were someone special in their past life, but there's no way that everyone
23:28was Cleopatra or Diego Rivera.
23:31You know what the problem is?
23:32I think it says something about his personality, you know?
23:35Like, it's so self-aggrandizing.
23:38Out of all my past lives, not a single one was famous.
23:41You remember your past lives?
23:43Like, all of them?
23:44Well, let's not get into it.
23:45Who keeps texting you?
23:47My C.I.
23:48Well, if it's important, take the call.
23:51Let's see.
23:56It's a video of a kangaroo fighting a deer.
24:00Okay, I have not seen this.
24:10No.
24:12Line of sight is too clear on the western edge.
24:15This guy's a sniper.
24:18Take another run at it.
24:20We'll be back at 4 a.m. for an update.
24:34Hello?
24:35Am I talking to Sergeant Chen or LIGF Lucy?
24:38Oh, God, I don't even know anymore.
24:40Still working on the motorcade route?
24:41You know, here's the thing.
24:42I cannot shut Sepulveda down for three hours.
24:45It's just not even on the table.
24:47And don't even get me started on Wilshire.
24:49We do not have the manpower to cover even half of those rooftops.
24:53So it's going to be an all-nighter?
24:54For sure.
24:55Have you eaten, at least?
24:57No, but it's not a big deal.
24:58I mean, there's a vending machine that I can go get something from.
25:03God forbid.
25:07This is really sweet.
25:09I think I'm going to cry.
25:10At work, you would never.
25:12You're right.
25:13Have you changed your mind about help?
25:17No, but you could stay and eat with me and listen while I complain about the Secret Service
25:23without offering any advice, like the supportive, live-in boyfriend you are.
25:29You got it.
25:30We live in a disaster-prone area.
25:33We need to be ready for anything.
25:34And if we raised chickens, we'd have guaranteed source of protein.
25:39How are you going to protect them from the coyotes?
25:41I'll build them a fortress in the yard.
25:44I'll have my strong, handsome husband build them a fortress in the yard.
25:49...clear, but as you can see, the suspect has barricaded himself inside the dispensary
25:53and is refusing to come out.
25:54You can't arrest me!
25:55I have immunity!
25:57Call Officer Pinch!
26:01Great.
26:08Hey, uh, what's up?
26:09What's Channel 7?
26:12Nolan, Nolan told me to turn it on.
26:13Oh, it's an old people's way to watch the news.
26:18The suspect is still refusing to comply with the police.
26:21Customers and staff...
26:22Andy, Andy, what the hell are you doing?
26:23I need you to call off the cops, man.
26:25No, you need to put the phone down and walk out the door with your hands on your head.
26:28You said you could get me out of trouble!
26:30So you went to rob a pot dispensary to test that out?
26:33No.
26:34Law enforcement hopes to draw him out as quickly as possible.
26:38I'm in trouble.
26:39You're in trouble.
26:43Penn, do you know how much trouble you caused last night?
26:46The Department of Public Relations has been fielding calls nonstop about cops making immunity
26:50deals with dirtbags.
26:51It was entirely my fault, sir.
26:52I was unclear with my CI.
26:53In Miles' defense.
26:54There is no defense for him or you.
26:56Letting him make a CI deal with fast Andy?
26:59You know better than that.
27:00I was giving him enough space to make it a teachable moment.
27:03Well, now it's a teachable moment for both of you.
27:05How do you think this looked on my first day as watch commander?
27:07I'm so sorry, sir.
27:08I would bear you both under the doghouse, but the president lands in two hours and we are
27:12no closer to finding Jerry Hudson.
27:14Suit up!
27:15Yes, sir.
27:16Yes, sir.
27:18Once again, I'm so sorry, sir.
27:21Noted.
27:21Now, get your head in the game.
27:22Today's going to be a bear.
27:23We'll deal with the fallout tomorrow if we still have jobs.
27:28I don't think you see my vision.
27:30Okay, a security company slash resort slash makeup line is hard to picture.
27:35We wouldn't do them all at once.
27:37Morning.
27:38Wesley's killing my dream.
27:40Uh, it's not your dream.
27:41You came up with it yesterday.
27:43Going to work.
27:50Forced a habit?
27:51No, close the door.
27:54First of all, I want to be clear.
27:55This is temporary.
27:59With the president coming to town, they want a seasoned veteran back in the office.
28:03Which is why they asked me to return as watch commander for the day.
28:06Okay.
28:07Tim, this has nothing to do with you or the job you're doing.
28:09I mean, it has something to do with it.
28:11The stakes are way too high.
28:12And God forbid something happens today.
28:14There can't be a newbie at the helm.
28:16It'll look like we went in unprepared.
28:18I get it.
28:19All right, what do you need from me?
28:20Get everybody in roll call.
28:22Yes, sir.
28:22All right.
28:33This is only temporary, so please try to contain your disappointment.
28:39Now, we're all aware of the most pressing issue.
28:42The president lands in two hours, and we have a wannabe assassin on the loose.
28:46The decision has been made to continue to visit, so I need everyone on this.
28:51Detectives Harper and Lopez and Agent Butler will get you up to speed.
28:54Our suspect is Jerry Hudson, avid collector of conspiracy theories and weapons, the most
28:59alarming of which is a ferret M82.
29:02According to the range master at Hudson's Range, Hudson is accurate up to 800 yards.
29:07The two stops that POTUS is making, first at UCLA for a speech, then at a fundraiser at
29:11Hancock Park, are well secured.
29:13But we are adding an awning to cover the entrance and exit at each location.
29:17Sergeant Bradford will be coordinating motorcade route.
29:19No, that assignment will remain with Sergeant Chen.
29:21I'm a utility player today.
29:24Fine, as of 0600 this morning, we have locked in a primary and secondary route for both locations.
29:30Because of the elevated threat level, street closures will be more extensive than normal.
29:36I know, but it is what it is.
29:39Be prepared for angry motorists and an increase in reckless behavior.
29:44You got anything to add?
29:50Listen, today is why we wear the uniform.
29:53And not just to keep the president safe, but to ensure the safety of all Angelenos.
29:59Communication is key.
30:01Eyes open.
30:02Stay sharp.
30:04Let's win the day.
30:10Night speech.
30:12And thank you.
30:14No need to pay the demotion forward.
30:16Look, your plan is great.
30:17You thought through threat, seasoned agents would have missed.
30:21Are you okay?
30:22Yeah, I'm fine, Sergeant Chen.
30:24What's our first order of business?
30:27Shutting down the west side of Los Angeles.
30:29Here we go.
30:34I need a tow truck in Sector 7, north side of 4th.
30:37Take off.
30:38Take off.
30:39Never see a take off.
30:48Jerry's creative spelling does not make his angry letters to the president any easier to read.
30:53Took me a minute to figure out he wasn't raging against pubic policy.
30:57Pubic, oh, right, public.
30:59That's almost as good as the deep state will know my furry.
31:02Hard to say who he hates the most.
31:04The president, justice department, CIA, or the English language.
31:08No, it's definitely the FBI.
31:10I can't tell you how many times he's railed against the Pheebs.
31:15Actually, it doesn't say the Pheebs.
31:17It says Pheebs betrayed him.
31:19Pheebs deserves to die.
31:21Pheebs as in Phoebe.
31:25Margaret Phoebe Dawes.
31:28I think I figured out what we're wrong on our first day.
31:31You ignored my advice and misled a C on.
31:34That too.
31:35What I realize is I've had a lot of coaches in my day,
31:38and I tend to respond best to real hard asses.
31:41Like Tim?
31:41Yeah, more of a drill sergeant type.
31:43Look, so if I'm messing up, just get in my face, yell.
31:46I can take it.
31:48Um.
31:50Yeah, what do you got?
31:51Hudson's plan is in his letter.
31:52Let me guess.
31:53Kill the president?
31:54No, he's starting with Pheebs.
31:56Pheebs, his ex-girlfriend's middle name.
31:58We have to get to her now.
31:59We're on the way.
32:00Come on.
32:08You've reached Margaret.
32:10Sorry I missed you.
32:11Hey, it's Detective Harper.
32:12Call me as soon as you get this.
32:13Okay, thanks.
32:15She's not with her mom either.
32:17Wait, hold on.
32:19Hey, Margaret, where are you?
32:20I'm at work.
32:21Okay, I need you to get out of there and go someplace safe.
32:25Harry's coming, isn't he?
32:26We are on our way right now.
32:28What was that?
32:30That's him.
32:30You gotta hide.
32:31I need all available units at 4262, Warner.
32:34Any room with a door that locks, a bathroom, or...
32:37My boss's office.
32:38Okay, that's perfect.
32:39Barricade yourself in there.
32:40Do not come out until we get there.
32:42Okay.
32:43Run.
32:43Run.
32:44Run.
32:45Run.
32:45The police are on there.
32:46Hide.
32:47Hide.
32:47Go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go.
33:06Hide.
33:07Get them.
33:10Hide.
33:10Get them.
33:16Let's go, let's go!
33:43You left away from Metro?
33:44No, we're going in. Good.
33:48You good?
33:57Go! Get out of here.
34:00Come on.
34:01Don't stop until you get across the street.
34:03We'll go left, you take center.
34:04Copy.
34:06So do me carefully, Officer Penn.
34:08There is no room for you to be a cowboy today.
34:11You've both seen firsthand how things can go wrong in a gunfight.
34:13Stay on my six, focus on your sector, and control your fire.
34:18Yes, sir. Let's do this.
34:49Did you hear that?
34:58Is anyone injured?
34:59No. We're okay.
35:01Does anyone know where Margaret is?
35:02No, we haven't seen her.
35:03All right. Stay low. Stay quiet.
35:05We have additional units on the way.
35:06We have six secured upstairs. Margaret is not with them. Repeat, Margaret is not with them.
35:19All right. Stay here. Protect them.
35:21What?
35:21Don't argue. Just do it.
35:23Yes, sir.
35:36I'm 25, I'm 25, I'm 25, I'm 25, I'm 25, I'm 35.
35:38To be careful.
35:38Yes, sir.
35:38Yes, sir.
35:39I'm coming from here.
35:41I'm 25, I'm 25, I mean.
35:42Yes, sir.
35:42I may not be 25, you know, if I have a guy with a guy left side end.
35:43If you're 25, you get a man left, you can open it.
35:45Yes, sir.
35:50Attempt me.
36:14Shoot her down!
36:16Suspect down!
36:20Control 715, we have a suspect in custody, need an ambulance for one suspect, two gunshot wounds
36:25in the shoulders, he's conscious and breathing, we got code 4.
36:29Hey, you okay?
36:31Yeah.
36:34Is it over?
36:35Yeah, it's over.
36:36It's over.
36:37It's okay.
36:38It's over.
36:41Who am I kidding?
36:42I do this job for free.
36:49Well, POTUS is in the air, and we are out of here.
36:52Thank God.
36:54No, no, not that I'm expressing relief that you are leaving, it's just this town loses
36:59their mind when you disrupt their commute.
37:01I totally understand.
37:02It was a pleasure working with you.
37:04Likewise.
37:05I really mean it.
37:06I don't tell too many people about the past life thing, and it was nice talking to someone
37:12who believes me.
37:14Of course.
37:15And who knows?
37:17Maybe we connect so well because in a past life, I was Mary Lincoln.
37:23Or Donna Wilkes Booth.
37:26I'm kidding.
37:29I was kidding.
37:31Okay, I don't take myself that seriously, right?
37:34Oh.
37:35Kevin Kelvin, the Secret Service aide.
37:37His name is Kevin Kelvin?
37:39Yes.
37:39Not the point, but you know what?
37:42Never mind.
37:43I'm just glad this crazy day is over.
37:45I heard you guys were the heroes.
37:48Just doing our job?
37:49Oh, he's being modest.
37:50Your former training officer is as brave as the first man who ate an oyster.
37:54Don't I know it.
37:58I've been thinking about your coaching preference.
38:01The drill sergeant thing?
38:02Yeah.
38:02I'm not gonna do that.
38:03We don't always get to pick the personality of our supervisors, and it's not my job to be
38:08your preferred TO.
38:09It is your job to learn how to deal with me.
38:12Got it?
38:13Got it.
38:14Good.
38:15That was a very drill sergeant thing to say.
38:26Hey.
38:27Hey.
38:28Thanks for stepping in today.
38:29There's nothing you couldn't have done.
38:31Brass just doesn't know you.
38:33So start forging those relationships.
38:35Bring coffee to the weekly meetings.
38:36Memorize their kids' names.
38:38I get it.
38:38I need to work on my social game.
38:40Exactly.
38:41Lucy can give you some pointers.
38:43All right.
38:44That's it.
38:44All yours.
38:46Tell you what.
38:46This job's a lot harder than I thought it would be.
38:49If it's any consolation, it doesn't get any easier.
38:52Great to hear.
38:54If you need anything, I just want to talk.
38:56I know where to find you.
38:57All right.
38:58All right.
38:59Sir.
39:02Got a minute?
39:03Yeah.
39:05Hey, listen.
39:06Nice work today.
39:08Your accommodation is being talked about, which should put this fast Andy screw up to bed.
39:11About that.
39:12Um, can I speak freely?
39:15Sure.
39:17Officer Penn is my rookie now.
39:19But I can't train him effectively if I have you second-guessing my methods every shift.
39:24Now, I'm aware you have a decade of seniority over me.
39:29You're right.
39:30I am painfully aware of what second-guessing feels like and it won't happen to you again.
39:35Officer Penn is yours to train.
39:37That said, fast Andy was a perfect storm of stupid.
39:40And as your watch commander, it is my job to yell at you if your training produces a bad result.
39:45Understood.
39:48Uh, for what it's worth, I admire how you handled yourself today.
39:54That could not have been easy.
40:02That was nice.
40:05So, are you ready to go home for our first official night together?
40:12God, yes.
40:14You know, great work with the president's visit today.
40:17I know, right?
40:18Thank you for saying that.
40:20So, I changed my mind.
40:22I know.
40:23Fully endorsed my wife.
40:24Embracing a lifestyle that involves zero gunfights with presidential assassins.
40:28Sorry, you missed your window.
40:29I already gave up on that athleisure wear company.
40:32I didn't even know that was on the table.
40:33And all the other new hustles Harper and I are dreaming about.
40:37I'm not ready to quit this job just yet.
40:39Yeah, I figured.
40:41But I do have a new dream.
40:43Mmm.
40:44It involves a suite at the Four Seasons.
40:47Tonight?
40:48Yes.
40:48My mom's watching the kids.
40:50I'll meet you in the hotel bar in 30 minutes.
40:55Yeah.
40:56You'll be Max, an international man of mystery.
41:01And I'll be Christina, an insatiable corporate shark in town for a conference.
41:08I'd love that for us.
41:09Let me get your ass in the car.
41:11I'll be there in 30.
41:14Okay.
41:21Welcome home.
41:24God, it's smaller than before.
41:27Look, I wasn't sure where you wanted anything, so I held off.
41:33Oh, it's my baby.
41:34Come here.
41:35Hi.
41:38This is kind of overwhelming.
41:40Yeah.
41:41There's a lot to do.
41:42You want to just go out to dinner?
41:44Yes.
41:44I really, really do.
41:46That's okay.
41:46Can we bring Kojo?
41:47It's going to severely limit our restaurant options.
41:50But, I mean, how could we not?
41:52For sure.
41:53Kojo!
41:54Let's go.
41:54We're going to dinner.
41:55Good boy.
41:56Let's go, let's go.
41:56Come here.
41:58Okay.
41:59All right.
41:59You ready?
42:00Yeah.
42:00Yeah.
42:00Let's do it.
42:01Come on.
42:02Wait, wait, wait.
42:08Okay, now we can go.
42:10Go on.
