00:00You live inside my heart. Brown eyes in the line of fire. I get worried when you're gone too long.
00:13Sorry. Did you say something?
00:15No, you just were making a face. Everything alright?
00:18Yeah, yeah, totally. It's just, um, well, Raj wrote a new song about me.
00:24I mean, he's so talented and it's so beautiful and it's all...
00:28a little overwhelming. Yeah.
00:30I wish somebody was writing love songs about me. The three of you are so happy, my love life is
00:34as cold as a frosted frog.
00:36You're a young pen. There's plenty of time to find true happiness.
00:39Yeah, or learn to love being alone.
00:42Alright, let's focus. Just got out of a meeting with the brass and everyone is feeling the pinch.
00:47Recruitment numbers are down, retirement numbers are up.
00:49Bottom line, prepare to work more OT where the department manages staffing shortages and we launch this new recruitment drive.
01:00Oh! What's going on?
01:02We won! We won!
01:04We won!
01:05We won, won. The lottery.
01:07Shangri-La has been playing every week for 12 years.
01:13We're rich, bitch!
01:14Smitty, out.
01:19When did you say this recruitment drive was?
01:22I'm gonna win all you like. I know you want me to die.
01:30You should call in sick. Hang out with me on my day off.
01:33That would be a bad look on my first day back.
01:35Oh, it would be fine. I mean, do you even have an official job yet?
01:39No. And I'm trying so hard to be zen about that. My former position was perfect. It's my own fault
01:45for taking a leave and going to DC.
01:47Any idea what Kevin Foster's gonna give you?
01:48No, we're talking first thing this morning.
01:51So, what are you gonna do today?
01:52I'm gonna find out how many naps. There's too many naps. My plan is to do absolutely nothing.
01:58Oh, you were gonna fix the drain in the shower.
02:00Absolutely nothing except fix the drain in the shower.
02:03Okay.
02:05Though I know it's not my hair in there.
02:07What was that?
02:08I said, have a good day out there.
02:10Okay.
02:17I'm confused. I just voted for you.
02:20Why are you two going to work? Shouldn't you be doing the whole last-minute campaigning thing?
02:24Rita wanted him to, but we talked about it and...
02:26I'm gonna lose. Badly.
02:28Rita gave us the latest poll numbers and then quit.
02:30So, rather than waste another minute on a failed campaign that neither one of us enjoyed for a second,
02:34we are first day of the rest of our lives in here.
02:37Okay. Well, I can't complain about having my bestie back on the job.
02:40Hey, why don't we do dinner tonight? Just the four of us.
02:43You're not gonna watch the returns?
02:45No. There's no point.
02:47I love you, loser.
02:49I love you too.
02:52You would've made an amazing DA.
02:55Thanks.
02:57Bye.
03:01Vivienne is gonna fire him the second she wins, isn't she?
03:04A hundred percent.
03:06Yeah.
03:07Alright, I'll be right in.
03:09Alright.
03:14Sup?
03:14Hey, um, how would you feel about having a small gathering at your house tonight?
03:18Oh.
03:19What's the occasion?
03:20Wesley tanking the DA race.
03:22Is that cause for celebration?
03:23No, but it is a time for friends to get together and support each other no matter what.
03:28Also, it needs to be a surprise or else we'll just try and talk me out of it.
03:31Got it. Yeah, sure. We can have it here.
03:32Great.
03:33I will start a group chat.
03:34Alright.
03:35Do you need me to...
03:36And you hung up.
03:38Here's what I love.
03:39The clear amount of industry and effort that you've put in.
03:43But?
03:45But...
03:46It is a little, you know, narrowly focused.
03:50Join the LAPD.
03:51Be a badass hero.
03:52Protect the innocent.
03:53It's reflective of your lived experience, but it's not exactly reflective of the multitude
03:58that is the LAPD.
04:01Yeah.
04:02You're in charge of staffing this up.
04:03What?
04:04Hold on.
04:04No, that's...
04:05I was not trying to...
04:06Hmm?
04:08Fine.
04:10Penn!
04:11Juarez!
04:12You're on a special assignment today.
04:13Penn's still a rookie?
04:14Exactly.
04:15Who better to give insight to a recruit than someone going through training?
04:18Guys, get started.
04:19The paperwork's inside.
04:21Hey.
04:22How's it going?
04:22Good.
04:23Did the brass send you down here to help me with the recruitment drive?
04:25In a consulting capacity.
04:27And only if you need me.
04:28So say you don't need me so I can go back to work.
04:31Ah!
04:32Whoa, are you okay?
04:33Yeah, I'm fine.
04:35Smitty!
04:36What?
04:37You quit?
04:38No!
04:40I took an unscheduled day off while I briefly submitted my retirement papers, but that's
04:45all done now.
04:46Why?
04:47What happened?
04:47Oh, they say I didn't kick in for my share of the ticket so I don't get my share of
04:51the
04:51payout, but I'm always late with the wife's hander.
04:53They know I'm good for it.
04:55Ah!
04:55Oh, God.
04:56You are not okay.
04:57Smitty, make yourself useful and get the lieutenant down at St. Stephen's.
04:59No, no.
05:00I can drive myself.
05:00No, you can't, but I can call an ambulance.
05:02Or your wife.
05:03We can call your wife.
05:03No, no.
05:04Definitely not.
05:05Let's go, Smitty.
05:08I do not want to hear about your lottery situation.
05:11No problem.
05:12But I do have a teletherapy appointment starting at 5, so you might overhear a bit.
05:21Good morning.
05:22Oh, good morning.
05:23Come on in.
05:24Thank you for being so understanding.
05:27I know I left you in the lurch when I went to D.C.
05:29All good.
05:30So, what do you have in store for me?
05:33Well, obviously your old job is gone, but we do have a new class of paramedic recruits,
05:38and I want you to train one.
05:40You're giving me a rookie?
05:41I am.
05:43Oakley.
05:45Yes, sir?
05:46This is Bailey Noon.
05:47You'll be training with her.
05:48Pleasure to meet you.
05:49I'm eager to get started.
05:50I've read everything there is to read on triage medicine, not just in the U.S., but as far
05:54field as Mumbai.
05:55They published a fascinating study 12 days ago on emergency medicine in high-density
05:59populations.
06:00I can send you a link.
06:01Do you read Hindi by any chance, or do you need the English translation?
06:06Good luck.
06:08Officer in agony here.
06:11Bed 11.
06:12Oh, hell no.
06:13I changed my mind.
06:14I'm fine.
06:14I'm fine.
06:15Oh, what is going on?
06:17He woke up with a stabbing pain in his lower back and hoed 20p.
06:21The Smitty!
06:22What?
06:22I could hear you cursing from outside the station bathroom.
06:25Oh, my God.
06:27Wait.
06:28You're that doctor.
06:29You're the one.
06:30Smitty!
06:30Get out of here now.
06:32Back to the station.
06:33Yes, sir.
06:34Good luck.
06:36I'm the doctor that what?
06:38Like you don't know.
06:39I really don't, but you know what?
06:41That can wait till we figure out what is going on with you.
06:43I want a different doctor.
06:45I am the only one who's free right now.
06:47Oh, wait.
06:49Are you sure?
06:50Yeah.
06:52Okay.
06:55Please tell me you haven't napped yet, and that you haven't forgotten to fix the bathroom
07:00drain.
07:00No, of course not.
07:01I just called to see where you were assigned.
07:04I got a rookie.
07:06I knew you secretly wanted to be me.
07:08I've never trained anyone before.
07:10It's my first day back, and this kid is kind of green.
07:14So, are you looking for some tips?
07:16Would you come meet us, give a first blush eval, and maybe a few pointers?
07:22Yes, of course.
07:23But it's gonna cost you.
07:25I should hope so.
07:27I gotta go.
07:27All right.
07:28Looking forward to you hung up as well.
07:31A buttload of hemostatic gauze as requested.
07:37How can I help?
07:38Uh, wash first.
07:40I like things a certain way.
07:42A lot of people put their first-in bag on the gurney, but I like it in the outside compartment.
07:47That way I can grab the gurney while you grab the bag.
07:49Smart.
07:50You know, in early agrarian societies, they used to just-
07:52Let's just focus on modern emergency medicine.
07:55Yeah, right.
07:55Yeah, yeah, of course.
07:58But I find that understanding the history of things can give context to modern emergency
08:01medicine and elucidates the reasons why we do things the way we do today.
08:08All right, look, you can spot the losers a mile away.
08:11Don't waste any time with anyone you know won't pass the physical exam or the psych valve.
08:14Got it.
08:15Um, fill out a questionnaire, let them know that we follow up with a polygraph and a background
08:18check.
08:19That'll knock out at least a third of the duds.
08:21Okay, just so I can set expectations, I mean, what ratio of good candidates to losers
08:26should we expect?
08:29Does this background check include Florida?
08:32So I have been arrested before, but I wasn't convicted.
08:35Does that count?
08:36Depends.
08:36What was the charge?
08:37Be fouling the punch bowl at a company picnic.
08:41And felony murder.
08:44And I thought to myself, why not take this white hot rage that I feel every second of
08:50every day and use it for something positive?
08:52Like curb stomping violent felons.
08:55Okay.
08:56Try MMA.
08:57Next.
08:59Good morning.
09:01Heard about the personnel shortage.
09:03And, uh, well, you guys need cops and I want back in.
09:07So, how can we make this happen?
09:13Where did you go to school?
09:14Johns Hopkins for my masters in neuroscience.
09:17Well, actually it was a double masters in that and philosophy.
09:20Okay.
09:21Well, when we...
09:22I had a PhD in molecular biology at UCLA.
09:24And then I spent a year at Oxford doing medical research.
09:26That was around the time I started to think, maybe I should have some real life experience.
09:31Well, you've come to the right place.
09:33Okay.
09:34Rescue 53, respond to 31488 12th Avenue.
09:37Manage of stress, unknown description, unknown injuries.
09:40And there's no better time to start.
09:42Control, this is Rescue 53.
09:44Show us responding.
10:02Control, this is Rescue 53 on scene for the distressed male at 12th Avenue.
10:10I thought we'd be doing this over coffee.
10:12What better way to evaluate him than seeing him in action?
10:14Seeing him in action.
10:16Exactly.
10:16Chase, this is my husband, John.
10:18He's off-duty LAPD.
10:19Nice to meet you.
10:20He looks way more than distressed.
10:22Let's flip him over, grab his head, and keep him stable.
10:24On three.
10:25One, two, three.
10:29He's alive, but unconscious, probably from heavy blood loss.
10:38Oh.
10:39Gun shovels.
10:40That explains the heavy blood loss.
10:47Easy, easy.
10:49I'm pushing ketamine.
10:50We're trying to help you.
10:54Let's get him to St. Stephen's.
10:55All right, I'll mobilize LAPD.
10:57Radio's in the car.
11:04Get away from him.
11:06Levin?
11:07With the radio.
11:08Please don't hurt us.
11:10Get up, traitor!
11:10He can't answer you.
11:12I gave him a sedative.
11:13Then wake him back up.
11:14But that's not how medicine works.
11:16And who the hell are you, huh?
11:17I'm a doctor.
11:18I'm just doing a ride-along.
11:19No, we can't stay here.
11:21Get Isaac in the car.
11:22You can't do that.
11:23That'll kill him.
11:24Then get him in the ambulance.
11:25You're gonna keep him alive till we get what we need.
11:27I'm on it.
11:32Whoa, whoa, whoa, hey.
11:33Back up. They got it.
11:34What do you wanna do with this guy?
11:35I-I need him.
11:36I'm just a paramedic.
11:37He's a doctor.
11:40All right, search him and let's get going.
11:41Meet us back at the office.
11:43Hands up.
11:49Let's go.
11:52Come on, come on, come on, come on.
11:55Get in.
12:01Come on, come on, come on.
12:11Get in.
12:17You know, the history of Battlefield Madison is truly fascinating.
12:20Until about 50 years ago, most major wounds were guaranteed fatal.
12:23Hey, do you wanna die?
12:23No, not particularly.
12:24Then shut up and drive.
12:27What did this guy do to you anyway?
12:28He stole our money.
12:30Now, Isaac here was in charge of keeping it safe.
12:32We were supposed to meet, divvy it up.
12:34Now he's stashed it somewhere.
12:36Trying to keep it all for himself, but that's not gonna happen.
12:39Well, this money he stole, assuming he recently stole it from someone else.
12:42Brink's truck, a bank, what?
12:44You ask a lot of questions, Doc.
12:46Shut up.
12:47The only answer I care about is, what exactly is your plan here?
12:51Three steps.
12:52Wake the trader up.
12:53Get him to tell us where the money is.
12:55Kill him.
12:55This man is barely stable.
12:57What happens if the third step comes first?
12:59Then you're dying in this ambulance along with him.
13:05I knew Seth still had dreams of being a cop, but I did not think he would try again at
13:09Midwoolshire.
13:09Yeah, well, he thinks he's catching us at a vulnerable moment.
13:12He's right.
13:12We need cops in the street now, not in six months after the applicant's finished training.
13:16Technically, all he has to do is pass his physical and he's back in uniform.
13:19The physical is not my concern.
13:21It is everything else.
13:23Listen, Seth has changed.
13:24I know it's hard to believe, but he's committed to a different path.
13:26You are biased, Penn, because he saved your life.
13:29Guilty as charged, but...
13:32He deserves a second chance.
13:48Okay.
13:50I'm ready.
13:51Whatever you guys need.
13:51The only way I'll even consider recommending you for reinstatement is if you pass a polygraph.
14:00Okay.
14:02Let's do it.
14:03Why are you refusing treatment?
14:06I'm not.
14:06I just saw a doctor.
14:08He told me I had kidney stones.
14:10Major ones.
14:11I'm sorry.
14:12I heard that pain is excruciating.
14:16Well, while you are being treated, I am your patient advocate.
14:19So, is there anything that you would like me to advocate for?
14:23Yes.
14:24I was severely mistreated by Dr. Ashton.
14:26I went on fire.
14:27Wade.
14:28You asked.
14:30I will check on you in a little bit.
14:37Luna.
14:39What?
14:40Can I talk to you?
14:44Did you and your husband separate because of me?
14:46What?
14:47No.
14:53You were something of a catalyst.
14:56I'll admit to enjoying some harmless flirting, but if I ever gave you the impression that I wanted anything more...
15:03You absolutely gave me that impression.
15:06If I had suggested over dinner that we check into a hotel, you wouldn't have said no.
15:12Probably not.
15:13You tell yourself that it's harmless, but what it is, is selfish.
15:19It doesn't matter to you what the fallout could be, because you can just walk away.
15:24Thank God I came to my senses.
15:31Okay, we're going to start with some easy questions.
15:34Please restrict your answers to either a yes or a no.
15:36Is your name Seth William Ridley?
15:39Yes.
15:39Do you live at 3200 Blix Street?
15:41Yes.
15:42Yes.
15:42Are you 25 years old?
15:44Yes.
15:45Okay, now to establish a proper baseline, I'm going to ask you the same questions, but this time I want
15:49you to lie.
15:50You understand?
15:52All right.
15:53Is your name Seth William Ridley?
15:55No.
15:56Do you live at 3200 Blix Street?
15:59No.
16:01Okay, let's start.
16:02Did you ever tell me that your high school girlfriend died from a drug overdose?
16:07Yes.
16:08Was that a lie?
16:09Yes.
16:11Yes.
16:12Were you in love with Tamar Collins?
16:15Yeah, I wanted to marry her.
16:17A simple yes or no, Ridley?
16:18Sorry, yes.
16:21Yes.
16:22One year ago, did you have cancer?
16:26I did not, no.
16:27No.
16:28During that time, did you ever believe you were sick?
16:32No.
16:36On the day of the Kenyan wildfire, did the National Weather Service call you about the fire spreading across Eagle
16:42Rock Road?
16:42Do we really have...
16:43Answer the question, did you receive a call from the Weather Service?
16:46Yes.
16:47Did you relay that information to the officers in the field?
16:51He means us.
16:53Did you try to tell us?
16:54No.
16:55On purpose?
16:56No.
16:58I got distracted.
17:00And it was too late to warn you.
17:01I knew that you were pinned down.
17:03That was my fault.
17:05I'm sorry.
17:06But I...
17:07But I...
17:07I was too afraid to say anything.
17:10No, you lied.
17:11To cover up your mistake like you always do.
17:16Yes.
17:19No.
17:20Not anymore.
17:22Not anymore.
17:28He's crashing.
17:33His pulse is weak.
17:34He has a new month to our X. The pressure is building in his chest cavity.
17:42Hold him steady on my puncture's chest.
17:50If you won't take us to a hospital, I need to be someplace not moving.
17:54You need to listen to us.
17:55Orange is a doctor. Why is she doing everything?
17:57I'm a radiologist.
17:58We don't have time for resumes.
18:00We need to stop the ambulance.
18:03How long do we get to the office?
18:04We're landing now.
18:08Come on, come on.
18:12I'll get the boss.
18:15Let's get Isaac on the table.
18:16Clear it all.
18:27How's he doing?
18:28Not well.
18:28All the fluid I transfused into him just keeps coming right back out.
18:31He's running out of time.
18:32How long before your dispatch realizes you're missing?
18:34A few hours.
18:36Firefighters aren't as worried about random violence as caused.
18:38Perhaps it's time to revisit that policy.
18:41I'm dying to know why you brought these randos to the office and not my money.
18:45Isaac took the cash and ran. We only caught up to him after he hit it.
18:48He started shooting.
18:49And you shot back?
18:50Before you got my money.
18:51Well, Helen's got a little excited.
18:52Hey, we all emptied a clear.
18:54I told you to call...
18:55Shut up!
18:57You're making my head hurt.
18:58How bad's our boy?
18:59Critical.
19:00He needs a hospital.
19:01Not happening.
19:02Wake him up.
19:02Give him the Pulp Fiction shot.
19:04Right in the heart.
19:05If that shot, epinephrine would kill him.
19:11I'm only gonna say this once.
19:13You got ten minutes to wake him up so I can find my money or I shoot this man next.
19:24Don't.
19:24No.
19:24I have to help him or he's gonna die.
19:26That's why I shot him.
19:28Get him talking.
19:29Now.
19:34Let me triage my rookie or I cut your guy's carotid and you'll never find your money.
19:40Check out born identity, Barbie.
19:41What about the Hippocratic Oath?
19:43That's for doctors, not paramedics.
19:47Okay.
19:47How about this?
19:48You let her resurrect Isaac and you let me treat Jace.
19:51Is that okay?
19:55Fine.
19:55You go watch him.
19:56If he tries to be a hero, cap them both.
19:58Hey.
19:59Hey.
20:00Got you.
20:01All right?
20:02You know, not really.
20:03Okay.
20:04That's a lot of blood.
20:05Yeah.
20:06I'm gonna need some hemostatic gauze in there.
20:08Right.
20:08Clearly we're gonna need to work together, so slow breaths, okay?
20:11All right.
20:11You're gonna apply some serious pressure on there?
20:13I might make some noise.
20:14Right.
20:15Ready?
20:18Okay.
20:19I'm gonna pass out now.
20:21All right.
20:23Hey, hey.
20:24Forget about the bleeding.
20:25Boss said wake him up.
20:26He's in hypovolemic shock.
20:27His blood pressure has cratered.
20:29He's about to die.
20:30If he dies, we are screwed, man.
20:32If he's bleeding out, give him more blood.
20:33I don't have any, so unless one of you is O negative, the universal blood donor, we're
20:37out of luck.
20:38Yeah, you know.
20:39That's me.
20:39I needed a transfusion after I took one in the leg on the Long Beach job, because they
20:42told me I was O negative.
20:44Perfect.
20:44Roll up your sleeve.
20:49Hi.
20:49Hi.
20:50I'm here to join the LAPD.
20:52What?
20:52Are you serious?
20:53Oh, God, no.
20:54I'd make a terrible cop.
20:55Aw.
20:55I came by to say hi and to see if you'd had time to listen to the song.
21:01I did.
21:02I did.
21:03Oh, I'm gonna go grab a soda.
21:05You want anything?
21:06No, I'm good.
21:07I'll take a chocolate milk.
21:14You didn't like it.
21:15Are you kidding?
21:17It made me cry the first 10 times I listened to it, but it's a lot of pressure, you know?
21:22Imagine how Mona Lisa felt when Da Vinci painted her.
21:26I mean, everyone constantly judging whether she was worthy of being memorialized like that.
21:31Wow, yeah.
21:32I never thought about it like that.
21:34Thank you for comparing me to Da Vinci.
21:36That's an ego boost for sure.
21:38Okay, I can change it up.
21:39I can add a line about your morning breath or how you kick me in your sleep.
21:42Okay, I do not.
21:43Do I?
21:44Hi.
21:44Hi.
21:45I'm here to sign up for a cop job.
21:48You are in the right place.
21:51What drew you to law enforcement?
21:53My boyfriend's a cop and we don't get to spend much time together.
21:55So, I thought this way we could see each other every day.
21:58Well, that's amazing.
21:59You probably know him.
22:00Franklin Rose.
22:02Franklin Rose?
22:04Doesn't ring a bell, but you've been here longer than me, so...
22:07Well, I don't know him, but I mean, it's a big building.
22:09I'll show you a picture.
22:17Is this recent?
22:18Yeah.
22:18I took it of him last week before you went to work.
22:20Do you mind if I take a picture?
22:21Great.
22:22This will help me find him.
22:24You know, here's an application.
22:26Why don't you fill it out over there while I track him down?
22:29Okay.
22:30Thanks.
22:30Yeah.
22:34What's wrong?
22:35The badge is all wrong.
22:36Yeah, this thing is from the 1970s.
22:38Maybe he was just trying to impress his girlfriend.
22:41Okay.
22:41By committing a felony?
22:42You know, I have heard rumors about low-level dealers getting ripped off by cops who confiscate
22:47their drugs and let them off with a warning.
22:50Classic dope rip.
22:51All right.
22:51I'm gonna need to talk to her.
22:53Not a problem.
22:53She's still outside.
22:54We'll go get her.
22:59Hey.
23:00Did you get everything?
23:01Boy, did I.
23:03You really think he's gonna appreciate us paying your demotion party forward?
23:06If not, we will get him drunk enough that he forgets it ever happened.
23:10All right.
23:10I gotta go.
23:11I love you.
23:11Love you, too.
23:15Hey.
23:15Hey.
23:16This must be burning.
23:17Oh, yeah?
23:17Why?
23:19Oh, just, um, I was watching a news story about the election.
23:25What's up?
23:26Do you remember, like, a thousand years ago when this all started, we talked about doing
23:29an announcement speech to lay out my full progressive agenda?
23:32Yeah.
23:33Before you chickened out.
23:34Well, if I'm gonna concede this election, I want to go out swinging.
23:37I want everyone to know exactly what I believe.
23:40Can you give me an assist?
23:41My speechwriter quit.
23:42Sure.
23:43Yeah.
23:43I sure can.
23:44You know, how about you follow me into my office, stepping over here?
23:47Yeah.
23:47What kind of things were you thinking about changing?
23:49I really like what we did the first time around.
23:51I just didn't get to nail it, you know?
23:52Oh, right.
23:54So, what's the verdict?
23:55Well, according to the polygraph, you told the truth about everything.
23:58Which was unexpected and proves that you've made a real effort to change.
24:02Okay.
24:03Great.
24:05No?
24:06It's...
24:06No?
24:07Look, the fact that you knowingly let us drive into danger, failed to do anything about
24:11it, and then lied to protect yourself is unforgivable to the department.
24:14Even though I sacrificed myself to save Nolan's life?
24:19What about that?
24:19Does my loss count for anything?
24:22Honestly?
24:23It's not enough.
24:24Even if you were to reapply to the FTO program, I would have to share those test results with
24:28Internal Affairs.
24:29Wait.
24:31So, this whole thing's a setup?
24:33I catch 22, I lie about the fire, and I fail the test.
24:37I tell the truth, and then you're gonna use it against me.
24:39I thought you were giving me a fair shot here.
24:41Look, I'm sorry.
24:42I can see that you are genuinely trying to be a better person.
24:45But there is no coming back from what you did.
24:47Not here.
24:53Okay, I understand.
24:57Thank you for giving me the opportunity to tell the truth.
25:01I know that could not have been easy given what I put you through.
25:05Ah, man, I thought it would be enough for me to come in here and to say I'm sorry and
25:10to do the work and not be that guy anymore, but I guess I finally understand that there
25:18are simply things I just don't get to have anymore.
25:21There are doors that I close that I'm never gonna reopen.
25:30Appreciate everything you taught me.
25:31I really do.
25:37Good luck, Ridley.
25:39You walk out of here knowing you finally took responsibility for your actions.
25:43And in my book, that counts for something.
25:56Bad news, there's no cop in the LAPD with your boyfriend's name.
25:59Check again.
26:00He's closed massive cases.
26:02The mayor gave him an award.
26:04I'm so sorry, but none of that is true.
26:07Well, if he's lying, why is his boss on your wall?
26:16You sure that's him?
26:17Yeah.
26:18Captain Jennings.
26:19Okay.
26:20Well, that is problematic in a whole different way.
26:22Howard Jennings doesn't work here either.
26:25He retired eight years ago.
26:32Keep pumping.
26:34It needs to flow or it'll coagulate.
26:35Damn, bro.
26:37The human body is so cool.
26:40He's stabilizing.
26:41Uh, you might want to take a look at this.
26:42I think it's femoral hyperglobe assist exfoliating.
26:48As soon as they find out where the money is, they're gonna kill us.
26:51We need it way out.
26:52Well, you're the forgotten man right now.
26:54So if you see a move to make do it, not jump in.
26:58Are you sleeping beauty?
27:00I am.
27:01You're in hell, bitch.
27:03Where's my money?
27:04Screw you.
27:05Come on, Isaac.
27:06You can't take it with you.
27:07Hmm?
27:08Okay, I'll tell you.
27:09I'll tell you.
27:10I hate it.
27:14Just give him a second.
27:15He's still coming out of sedation.
27:17Yeah, he's never gonna tell us.
27:18He's just gonna screw us and then die.
27:20I hope it hurts, man.
27:23I hope you're in so much pain.
27:24You're praying for the sweet mercy of death because it's coming.
27:27I don't feel good.
27:28Can you unhook me?
27:30Hey, lady, you might want to tighten that tourniquet.
27:32Whoa, whoa!
27:32No!
27:33No!
27:39You tell me or I'll take a foot!
27:42Hey, what's that mean?
27:43His heart sucked.
27:45Get him back!
27:46Now!
27:46You yelled at us for shooting him, then you chopped his arm off?
27:49What the hell's wrong with you?
27:50I'm getting my money.
27:51I spent six months planning this job.
27:53Yeah, from the safety of this office.
27:54Well, we're the ones sticking our knee.
27:55Can we bring him back?
27:56No.
27:57We're out of time.
27:57Hey, stop arguing.
27:59Get over here and help me.
28:00With what?
28:00To fix your boss's mistake.
28:02I need you to pinch off this artery so I can get a shot of adrenaline.
28:05Do it!
28:10Hey!
28:13Down, honey.
28:14He's a cop!
28:15I need three units in an ambulance.
28:39Code three.
28:40Multiple sale and send.
28:40One critically wounded paramedic.
28:43Great job, honey.
28:44Yeah.
28:45I need three units in an ambulance.
28:46I appreciate you coming in at such short notice, Captain.
28:48Are you kidding me?
28:49The Margaret Hoffman case is the one I can never forget.
28:52If you've got a fresh lead, I'll move heaven and earth to help you bring her killer to justice.
28:58We've got an old file laid out in here.
29:01Let's do it.
29:04Captain, I am Detective Nyla Harper. This is Detective Angela Lopez.
29:07This isn't about Margaret Hoffman.
29:09No, sir.
29:10I'll leave you to it.
29:16Think you can intimidate me with your little setup here?
29:19No, sir.
29:20You're a legendary tough guy.
29:21Who inspired loyalty in his men and fear in his enemies.
29:25Who the hell are you to mock me?
29:26Your worst nightmare.
29:29That's the first thing that springs to mind, but I don't know.
29:31It sounds a little cringy when I say it out loud, huh?
29:33We'll workshop it later.
29:34Okay.
29:35Right now, we're dying to know what happened to you.
29:38Why cross over to the dark side?
29:40I have no idea what you're talking about, and I'm leaving.
29:42I guess we'll just have to get our answers from Franklin Rose.
29:44Or the other two felons that you recruited, Marcus Kennedy and Jeremiah Gomez.
29:52And what crimes do you think these men have been doing?
29:55Well, robbing drug dealers so you can sell the product yourself.
29:59And before you protest that you've never heard of them, we have Jeremiah and Marcus in custody.
30:04And they dropped your name the second the cuffs came out.
30:07It's over, sir.
30:08We will be placing you under arrest.
30:11You have the right to remain silent.
30:13Anything you say can and will be used against you in a court of law.
30:16You have the right to an attorney.
30:18If you cannot afford an attorney, one will be provided for you.
30:21Do you understand?
30:28Yeah.
30:30Yeah, I understand.
30:32My entire career, I never once crossed the line.
30:35I was as straight and arrow as you could be.
30:39But my personal life was a bit, uh, more chaotic.
30:44Three wives, six kids.
30:46Seven.
30:46Oof.
30:47Got expensive.
30:48Got ridiculous.
30:49Credit cards were all maxed out.
30:51I was behind on everything.
30:52You spend your entire career cleaning up messes desperate people made.
30:58Feeling superior.
31:01Turns out we all have a tipping point.
31:03I was just gonna do the dope rips until I got caught up financially.
31:06I thought, who the hell am I hurting?
31:08Drug dealers?
31:09They'd shoot their mother for a Trans Am.
31:14I gave my life to the job.
31:18I did way more good for this city than the wrong I did now.
31:28Let's go.
31:29Come on.
31:33Let's go.
31:43That's Franklin.
31:51Hi.
31:52Hey, baby.
31:52I hope it's okay.
31:53I wanted to surprise you.
31:54Boy, did you?
31:56They were having a recruitment drive and I thought, wouldn't it be fun if you and me worked together?
32:00You would?
32:01Yeah, sure would.
32:01But listen, baby.
32:02You haven't actually gone inside and talked to anybody, have you?
32:04No.
32:04I waited like you asked me to.
32:06Great.
32:06Oh, that is so great.
32:08Listen, so I do have a couple errands I have to run.
32:10Why don't you come with you?
32:11No.
32:12No.
32:13Help!
32:13Hey, hands!
32:14Show me your hands.
32:16Turn around and walk to the glass now.
32:17All right.
32:18Turn around.
32:18All right.
32:20Franklin Rose, you're under arrest of felony robbery.
32:22Guys, just let me call my boss.
32:25No need, my man.
32:26Captain Jennings is already in holding.
32:29Let's move.
32:33Kitty?
32:34Are you serious?
32:37I really got a golden gut, huh?
32:39I wouldn't know a decent guy if he came up to me and said...
32:42Hey.
32:44You weren't kidding when you said you had to go do a thing before we could drown my sorrows, huh?
32:47Mm-hmm.
32:50Hi.
32:51Hi.
32:52Kitty Adams.
32:53Seth Ridley.
32:54Nice to meet you, Kitty.
32:55You, uh, new to town?
32:56You don't really have a big city vibe going on in a good way.
33:00Uh, Kitty, I don't think you should.
33:01Why don't you blow off your friends and have a drink with me instead?
33:07I'll tell you my life story.
33:09Go for it, dude.
33:11Okay.
33:13What?
33:14Nothing.
33:14Maybe it's such a bad idea it's actually good.
33:24Detectives from the Pacific Division have connected our kidnappers to a bank robbery in Santa Monica.
33:30They made off with over two million dollars.
33:31All that explains why they were so desperate to find it.
33:34And why Isaac was so determined not to tell them.
33:36Oh, he took that secret to the grave.
33:38Which means that money's still out there.
33:39Hmm.
33:40Treasure hunt later?
33:42Well, we just have to give it back.
33:45Right.
33:45That's less fun.
33:46Less fun.
33:51The good news is that I'm alive.
33:53What's the bad news?
33:55Well, all things considered, there is none.
33:58The surgery was straightforward.
34:00The bullet missed all your major organs.
34:02Thank God.
34:02Good.
34:03But this leaves us with the outstanding question.
34:05Is this a life lesson or a cautionary tale?
34:08Something tells me you already know the answer to that.
34:10Oh.
34:11Cautionary tale.
34:12All day.
34:13Definitely a thinker and not a doer.
34:16Well, personally, I think you would have made an excellent paramedic.
34:19You have more brain power than this entire hospital and just the right amount of bravery.
34:25That means a lot, coming from the legend that is Bailey Noon.
34:29And her husband's pretty cool, too.
34:31I told you.
34:32I'll keep him.
34:33You know, this reminds me of a fun allegory from Plato.
34:36It's much more compelling than the original ancient theme.
34:39Shh.
34:39I think you should rest.
34:40I'm fine.
34:41I'll just catch a Uber.
34:44You will not.
34:45I will drive you to your hotel.
34:47Plus, you promised me that we would have the chance to really talk, so I am going to
34:52take you hostage until we do.
34:55That's my girl.
34:56For what it's worth, I slammed the door in Ashton's face today.
35:03Figuratively.
35:05Disappointing.
35:08Like I told you before, he was just a temptation.
35:11Nothing more.
35:13But it did shake me up a bit.
35:16You have to admit that our marriage has been pretty static the last few years.
35:21I would have said solid, but I understand what you mean.
35:26I also understand now that this was more than just a new job for you.
35:33It was the beginning of something.
35:34Okay.
35:36But my question is, does our marriage have a part in this new beginning?
35:41Yes.
35:42I just got my head turned around and I made a mess of things.
35:47I want us to be healthy again.
35:49I know we can't just click our heels together and make that happen.
35:54We can if we do it in therapy.
35:58Yes.
35:59I think that's exactly where we should go.
36:04Look, how about if I take you home?
36:09You can sleep in the guest room if you want, but we can keep talking.
36:20Okay.
36:21I'd like that.
36:25You're not getting nothing tonight.
36:26Just be in your crutch.
36:27I'm just saying.
36:34Come here to celebrate the death of Shangri-La?
36:37Not at all.
36:38It's been a challenging day all around.
36:41Wanted to make sure you're doing okay.
36:43Well, thanks, kid.
36:44That's a lot more thoughtful than my traitorous lottery neighbors have been.
36:48They couldn't wait to get out of here.
36:51I mean, it looks like they bought you a few things on the way out, though.
36:53Oh, if they think they can talk me out of suing by buying me barbecues and ice makers, they are
36:59sadly mistaken.
37:00Does that mean that they're up for grabs?
37:02No, I'm not an idiot.
37:03I already sold them on eBay for a buttload.
37:05Okay.
37:06Since you're both here, I'm way past due with flushing the septic system on the RV, and it takes at
37:11least three hands.
37:13Oh, we got that.
37:14We got all the plans.
37:16The thing.
37:16The thing.
37:17Yeah, that thing.
37:18Yeah.
37:20You have yourself a good night, okay?
37:22Okay.
37:22Bye, Mr. Smitty.
37:24Hey, guys.
37:28Early returns are coming in.
37:30Good news?
37:30No.
37:31We're getting crushed.
37:32Hey.
37:33Okay.
37:34So, my concession speech is pre-recorded, ready to be released into the world just as soon as I officially
37:39lose.
37:40It's soon, babe.
37:40They're ready to call in.
37:42Listen, let us take you to dinner.
37:44We know this great Mexican spot up in the valley.
37:46Was it Nolan and Bailey's place?
37:49You told.
37:52He saw all the decorations.
37:53What?
37:54Did you want me to lie?
37:55Yes.
37:55It's fine.
37:56I can think of no better place to celebrate my failures than with all of my friends.
38:00You made it to the finish line, fell down on your face while everybody watched.
38:10You lost a race, you tried to win, and you can't even argue cause you lost by a lot.
38:19I did.
38:20You tried your best, and you got wrecked, and now you're looking all depressed, oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
38:28-oh.
38:30You made a new mistake.
38:33You feel ashamed.
38:34You don't have to lie away.
38:40If you think you're on your own, just come home.
38:45We'll be waiting when you don't know what to do anymore.
38:49That's what we're here for, that's what we're here for.
38:54That's what we're here for, oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh.
39:01Get me a piece to eat.
39:04This just feels weird.
39:08Oh, okay. Just...
39:09Well, that's my...
39:10Yeah, there.
39:11Well, thank you.
39:14They're about to play your speech.
39:16You want to turn on the news?
39:18No.
39:19No, I think that's in our rearview mirror now.
39:21Well, Vivian was gonna fire you anyways.
39:23Might as well speak your truth.
39:25It felt so good to cut through the noise.
39:27You know, stop playing politics.
39:30It also made me realize how little I'd accomplished
39:33at the DA's office.
39:34I mean, I tried to change the system from within,
39:36but without being the boss, without having that power,
39:38it's a losing battle.
39:40So I think I'm gonna go back
39:42to being a defense lawyer.
39:45I figured, but there are a lot of cops
39:47who are gonna feel betrayed,
39:48like you're siding with the enemy.
39:50Well, there's only one cop whose opinion I care about.
39:54Oh.
39:55Yeah.
39:56I'm all for it.
39:57Our sex life was unreal, and we're on opposite sides.
40:00Yes, it was.
40:02Oh.
40:02Okay.
40:03Hmm.
40:04Okay.
40:06Okay.
40:08Here's the thing.
40:09I wrote the song because I think you're incredible,
40:11and because I got really excited
40:13when I realized that Selena rhymes with zebra and subpoena.
40:16That's it, though?
40:17Close enough for art.
40:18Look, I'm sorry that it made you feel self-conscious,
40:21but a song is not a statement of truth.
40:23It's an opinion.
40:24I think you're the most beautiful woman in the world.
40:27That does not objectively make you that.
40:28Okay, well, in case you haven't noticed,
40:30I am a painfully humble person.
40:32I mean, how can I not be?
40:34I'm surrounded by the most amazing people on the daily.
40:38Seriously.
40:40Take a look at that group of badass overachievers.
40:43Every single one of them a unicorn in their own way.
40:46And you belong right there with them.
40:49I won't be taking any arguments at this time.
40:56All the speech.
40:59Everyone, if you'd gather around, it is official.
41:02Sadly, Wesley will not be the new district attorney.
41:07That's okay.
41:08But, Wesley, clearly everybody in this room is fiercely proud of you
41:13for putting yourself out there
41:14and shining a light on what is wrong with our system
41:17and the ways in which it could be fixed
41:19if we were only collectively brave enough to try.
41:22So, we raise our glasses to you.
41:25To Wesley.
41:25Woo!
41:26Yay!
41:28I can't say that it was an enjoyable experience,
41:30but, man, was it memorable.
41:33We've all gone through so much together this year.
41:35Sometimes it felt like it was more than we could handle,
41:37but it wasn't because we had each other.
41:42It's safe to say that I have no idea
41:44what the future has in store,
41:45but I do know one thing.
41:46We won't be going through it alone.
41:48Because we're a family.
41:51So, thank you.
41:52Hear, hear.
41:52Yeah!
41:53Woo!
41:55Let's eat.
41:56Please.
41:57We're gonna have to eat tomorrow.
41:58We don't know what to do anymore.
42:01That's what we're here for.
42:05That's what we're here for.
