Short filmTranscript
00:00You live inside my heart, brown eyes in the line of fire, but you're worried when you're gone too long.
00:13Sorry, did you say something?
00:15No, you just were making a face.
00:18Everything alright?
00:18Yeah, yeah, totally.
00:20It's just, um, well, Raj wrote a new song about me.
00:24I mean, he's so talented and he's so beautiful and it's all...
00:28A little overwhelming?
00:30Yeah.
00:30I wish somebody was writing love songs about me.
00:32The three of you are so happy, my love life is as cold as a frosted frog.
00:36You're a young pen.
00:37There's plenty of time to find true happiness.
00:39Yeah, or learn to love being alone.
00:42Alright, let's focus.
00:43Just 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 launched this new recruitment drive.
01:01What's going on?
01:02We won!
01:03We won!
01:05We won what?
01:06The lottery.
01:08Shangri-La has been played 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 do.
01:30You should call in sick.
01:31Hang 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.
01:37I mean, do you even have an official job yet?
01:39No, and I'm trying so hard to be zen about that.
01:42My former position was perfect.
01:44It's my own fault for taking a leave and going to D.C.
01:47Any idea what Kevin Fossett's gonna give you?
01:49No, we're talking first thing this morning.
01:51So what are you gonna do today?
01:52I'm gonna find out how many naps.
01:54There's too many naps.
01:55My 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.
02:11Okay.
02:17I'm confused.
02:18I just voted for you.
02:20Why are you two going to work?
02:21Shouldn't you be doing the whole last-minute campaign and game?
02:24Rita wanted him to, but we talked about it, and...
02:26I'm gonna lose.
02:27Badly.
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
02:33for a second, we are first day of the rest of our lives in here.
02:37Okay.
02:37Well, I can't complain about having my bestie back on the job.
02:40Hey, why don't we do dinner tonight?
02:42Just the four of us.
02:43You're not gonna watch the returns?
02:45No.
02:45There's no point.
02:47I love you, loser.
02:49I love you, too.
02:52You would have 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.
03:07All right.
03:07I'll be right in.
03:08All right.
03:14What's up?
03:14Hey, um, how would you feel about having a small gathering at your house tonight?
03:19Oh, what'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.
03:31Yeah, sure.
03:32We can have it here.
03:32Great.
03:33I will start a group chat.
03:34All right.
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?
03:46But it 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.
04:02Great.
04:02You're in charge of staffing this up.
04:03What?
04:04Hold on.
04:04No, that's...
04:05I was not trying to...
04:08Fine.
04:10Penn!
04:11Forrest.
04:12You're on a special assignment today.
04:13What?
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, how'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.
04:51But 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 to 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, definitely not.
05:05Let's go, Smitty.
05:08I do not want to hear about your lottery situation.
05:11No problem, but 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.
05:26I 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?
05:42I 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 and high-density populations.
06:00I've got to send you a link.
06:01Do you read Hindi by any chance, or do you need the English translation?
06:06Good luck.
06:09Officer in agony here.
06:11Bad 11.
06:12Oh, hell no.
06:13I changed my mind.
06:14I'm fine.
06:14I'm fine.
06:16Oh, what is going on?
06:17He woke up with a stabbing pain in his lower back.
06:20And it hurts when he pees.
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!
06:31Get out of here now.
06:32Back to the station.
06:33Yes, sir.
06:34Good luck.
06:36I'm the doctor that what?
06:38What you don't know.
06:39I really don't.
06:40But 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.
06:58And that you haven't forgotten to fix the bathroom drain.
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 going to cost you.
07:25I should hope so.
07:27I got to go.
07:28All 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, watch 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.
07:51You know, in early agrarian societies, they used to...
07:52Let's just focus on modern emergency medicine.
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.
08:15Fill 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 should
08:26we expect?
08:29Does this background check include Florida?
08:32So I have been arrested before, but I wasn't convicted.
08:35Does that count?
08:35Defense.
08:36What was the charge?
08:38Be fouling the punch bowl at a company picnic.
08:41And thought any murder.
08:44And I thought to myself, why not take this white hot rage that I feel every second of every
08:50day and use it for something positive?
08:52Like curb stomping violent felons.
08:55Okay.
08:56Try MMA.
08:57Next.
08:59Morning.
09:01Heard about the personnel shortage and, uh, well, you guys need cops and I went back
09:06in, so how can we make this happen?
09:13Where did you go to school?
09:14Johns Hopkins for my master's in neuroscience.
09:17Well, actually it was a double master's in that and philosophy.
09:20Okay.
09:21Well, when we...
09:22I had a PhD in molecular biology at UCLA.
09:24Then 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 314, 88 12th Avenue.
09:37Manage a 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.
10:56I'll mobilize LAPD.
10:57Radio's in the car.
11:04Get away from him.
11:06Flippin?
11:07Hit with 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, 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 going to keep him alive until we get what we need.
11:27I'm on it.
11:32Whoa, whoa, whoa.
11:32Hey, back up.
11:33They got it.
11:34What do you want to do with this guy?
11:35I need him.
11:36I'm just a paramedic.
11:37He's a doctor.
11:40All right, search him, and let's get gone.
11:42Meet us back at the office.
11:43Hands up.
11:49Let's go.
11:52Come on, come on, come on.
11:55Get in.
11:56Come on.
11:58Come on.
12:16Come on.
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 want to die?
12:23No, I'll particularly leave.
12:25Then shut up and drive.
12:27What did this guy do to you anyway?
12:28He stole our money.
12:30Isaac 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 going to happen.
12:39Well, this money he stole, assuming he recently stole it from someone else.
12:42Brink's truck?
12:43A bank?
12:44You ask a lot of questions, Doc.
12:47Shut up.
12:47The only answer I care about is, what exactly is your plan here?
12:51Three steps.
12:52Wake the traitor up.
12:53Get him to tell us where the money is.
12:54Kill 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
13:09Mid-Wolshire.
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 applicants finish 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 you saved your life.
13:29I'm guilty as Josh, but he 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.
14:07I just saw a doctor who told me I had kidney stones, major 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 want him fired.
14:27Wade.
14:28Hey, you asked.
14:30I will check on you in a little bit.
14:37Luna.
14:39Look.
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.
14:55Um, I'll admit to enjoying some harmless flirting, but if I ever gave you the impression that I wanted anything
15:02more...
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.
15:33Please 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?
15:42Yes.
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.
16:00Okay, 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.
16:11Were 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.
16:28During 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.
16:43Did 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.
16:52Did you try to tell us?
16:54No.
16:55On purpose?
16:56No.
16:59I 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.
17:07But I...
17:07I was too afraid to say anything.
17:10No, you lied.
17:11To cover up your mistake like you always do.
17:15Yes.
17:18No.
17:20Not anymore.
17:22Not anymore.
17:28He's crashing.
17:33His pulse is weak.
17:34He has a new month to our ex.
17:35The pressure is building in his chest cavity.
17:42Hold him steady.
17:43I'm going to puncture his 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.
17:56Why 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.
18:09Come on.
18:09Come 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?
18:35A few hours.
18:36Firefighters aren't as worried about random violence as cause.
18:38Perhaps it's time to revisit that policy.
18:41I'm dying to know why you brought these randos
18:43to the office and not my money.
18:45Isaac took the cash and ran.
18:46We only caught off to him after he hit it.
18:48He started shooting.
18:49You shot back?
18:50Before you got my money.
18:51Well, Alan's got a little excited.
18:52Hey, we all emptied a clip.
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.
19:05That shot, epinephrine, would kill him.
19:09No!
19:11I'm only going to say this once.
19:13You got ten minutes to wake him up
19:15so I can find my money
19:16or I shoot this man next.
19:24I have to help him
19:26or he's going to die.
19:26That's why I shot him.
19:28Get him talking.
19:29Now.
19:33Let me triage my rookie
19:35or I cut your guy's carotid
19:36and you'll never find your money.
19:40Check out Bourne Identity, Barbie.
19:42What about the Hippocratic Oath?
19:43That's for doctors, not paramedics.
19:47Okay, how about this?
19:48You let her resurrect Isaac
19:50and you let me treat Jace.
19:51Is that okay?
19:55Fine.
19:55You go watch him.
19:56If he tries to be a hero,
19:57cap them both.
19:58Hey.
19:59Hey, I got you.
20:01You all right?
20:02You know, not really.
20:04Oh, God, that's a lot of blood.
20:05Yeah.
20:06I'm going to need
20:07some hemostatic gauze on there.
20:08Right.
20:08Clearly, we're going to need
20:09to work together,
20:10so slow breaths, okay?
20:11All right, you're going to apply
20:12some serious pressure on there.
20:13I might make some noise.
20:14Right.
20:15Ready?
20:18Okay.
20:19I'm going to pass out now.
20:21Great.
20:23Hey, hey, forget 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,
20:32give him more blood.
20:33I don't have any,
20:34so unless one of you
20:35is O-negative,
20:36the universal blood donor,
20:37we're out of luck.
20:38Yeah, you know, that's me.
20:39I needed a transfusion
20:40after I took one in the leg
20:41on the Long Beach job
20:42because they told me
20:43I was O-negative.
20:44Perfect.
20:45Roll up your sleeve.
20:49Hi.
20:49Hi.
20:50I'm here to join the LAPD.
20:52What?
20:53Are you serious?
20:53Oh, God, no.
20:54I'd make a terrible cop.
20:55Aw.
20:55I came by to say hi
20:57and to see if you'd had time
20:59to listen to the song.
21:01I did.
21:02I did.
21:03Oh, I'm going to go grab a soda.
21:06You 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
21:18the first 10 times I listened to it,
21:19but it's a lot of pressure, you know?
21:23Imagine how Mona Lisa felt
21:24when Da Vinci painted her.
21:26I mean, everyone constantly judging
21:28whether she was worthy
21:29of 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
21:40or 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
21:53and we don't get to spend much time together,
21:55so I thought this way
21:57we could see each other every day.
21:58Oh, well, that's amazing.
21:59You probably know him, Franklin Rose.
22:03Franklin Rose.
22:04Doesn't ring a bell,
22:05but you've been here longer than me, so...
22:07Well, I don't know him,
22:08but, I mean, it's a big building.
22:09I'll show you a picture.
22:12Eh.
22:17Is this recent?
22:18Yeah, I took it of him last week
22:19before 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
22:28while I track him down.
22:29Okay, thanks.
22:30Yeah.
22:33What's wrong?
22:35The badge is all wrong.
22:37Yeah, this thing is from the 1970s.
22:38Maybe he was just trying to impress his girlfriend.
22:41By committing a felony?
22:42You know, I have heard rumors
22:44about low-level dealers
22:45getting ripped off by cops
22:46who confiscate their drugs
22:48and let them off with a warning.
22:50Classic dope rip.
22:51All right, I'm gonna need to talk to her.
22:53Not a problem.
22:53She's still outside.
22:54We'll go get her.
22:56Ooh.
22:59Hey.
23:00Did you get everything?
23:01Boy, did I.
23:03You really think he's gonna appreciate us
23:04paying your demotion party forward?
23:06If not, we will get him drunk enough
23:08that he forgets it ever happened.
23:10All right, I gotta go.
23:11I love you.
23:11Love you, too.
23:15Hey.
23:15Hey.
23:16This must be burning.
23:17Oh, yeah?
23:18Why?
23:19Oh, well, uh, just, um...
23:21I was watching a news story
23:24about the, uh, election.
23:25What's up?
23:26Do you remember, like,
23:27a thousand years ago
23:28when this all started,
23:28we talked about doing
23:29an announcement speech
23:30to lay out my full progressive agenda?
23:32Yeah, before you chickened out.
23:34Well, if I'm gonna concede this election,
23:36I want to go out swinging.
23:37I want everyone to know
23:38exactly what I believe.
23:40Can you give me an assist?
23:41My speechwriter quit.
23:42Sure.
23:43Yeah, I sure can.
23:44You know, how about you follow me
23:45into my office,
23:46step in over here?
23:47Yeah.
23:47What kind of things
23:48were you thinking about changing?
23:49I didn't really like
23:49what we did the first time around.
23:51I just didn't get to nail it,
23:52you know?
23:52Oh, right.
23:54Sure, what's the verdict?
23:56Well, according to the polygraph,
23:57you told the truth about everything.
23:58Which was unexpected
23:59and proves that you've made
24:00a real effort to change.
24:02Okay, great.
24:05No?
24:06It's...
24:06No?
24:07Look, the fact that you
24:08knowingly let us drive into danger,
24:10failed to do anything about it,
24:11and then lied to protect yourself
24:13is unforgivable to the department.
24:14Even though I sacrificed myself
24:17to save Nolan's life?
24:19What about that?
24:19Does my loss count for anything?
24:22Honestly, it's not enough.
24:24Even if you were to reapply
24:25to the FTO program,
24:26I would have to share
24:27those test results
24:28with Internal Affairs.
24:29Wait.
24:31So, this whole thing's a setup?
24:33I catch 22,
24:34I lie about the fire,
24:36and I fail the test.
24:37I tell the truth,
24:38and then you're gonna use it against me.
24:39I thought you were giving me
24:40a fair shot here.
24:41Look, I'm sorry.
24:42I can see that you are genuinely
24:44trying to be a better person,
24:45but there is no coming back
24:46from what you did.
24:47Not here.
24:53Okay, I understand.
24:57Thank you for giving me
24:58the opportunity
24:58to tell the truth.
25:01I know that could not
25:03have been easy
25:03given what I put you through.
25:05Ah, man,
25:06I thought it would be enough
25:06for me to come in here
25:07and to say I'm sorry
25:10and to do the work
25:11and not be that guy anymore,
25:13but I guess I finally understand
25:18that there are simply things
25:19I just don't get to have anymore.
25:22There are doors that I close
25:23that I'm never gonna reopen.
25:30Appreciate everything
25:30you taught me.
25:31I really do.
25:37Good luck, Ridley.
25:39You walk out of here
25:40knowing you finally took
25:42responsibility for your actions.
25:43And in my book,
25:45that counts for something.
25:56Bad news.
25:57There's no cop in the LAPD
25:58with 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,
26:05but none of that is true.
26:07Well, if he's lying,
26:09why is his boss on your wall?
26:16You sure that's him?
26:17Yeah, Captain Jennings.
26:19Okay, well,
26:20that is problematic
26:21in a whole different way.
26:22Howard Jennings
26:23doesn't work here either.
26:25He retired
26:26eight years ago.
26:32Keep pumping.
26:34It needs to flow
26:34or it'll coagulate.
26:35Damn, bro.
26:37The human body
26:38is so cool.
26:40He's stabilizing.
26:41You might want
26:42to take a look at this.
26:43I think it's
26:43femoral hyperglob
26:44assist exfoliating.
26:48As soon as they find out
26:49where the money is,
26:50they're going to kill us.
26:51We need to get way out.
26:52Well, you're the forgotten man
26:53right now,
26:54so if you see a move
26:55to make do it,
26:55not 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.
27:08Good man.
27:09I'll tell you.
27:10I hate it.
27:11Where?
27:14Just give him a second.
27:15He's still coming out of sedation.
27:17Yeah, he's never going to tell us.
27:18He's just going to screw us
27:19and then die.
27:20I hope it hurts, man.
27:22I hope you're in so much pain.
27:24You're praying for the sweet
27:25mercy of death
27:26because it's coming.
27:27I don't feel good.
27:28Can you unhook me?
27:30Hey, lady,
27:30you might want to
27:31tighten that turn again.
27:32Whoa, whoa, no!
27:33No!
27:39You tell me wrong,
27:40take 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,
27:48then you chopped his arm off?
27:49What the hell's wrong with you?
27:50I'm getting my money.
27:51I spent six months
27:52planning this job.
27:53Yeah, from the safety
27:53of this office,
27:54well, we're the ones
27:55sticking our knees.
27:55Hey, bring him back.
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
28:03this artery
28:03so I can get a shot
28:04of adrenaline.
28:05Do it!
28:10Hey!
28:13Down, honey.
28:14He's a cop!
28:16Whoa.
28:18Damn!
28:31Did we win?
28:33Yes, we did.
28:34Because of you.
28:35911, what's your emergency?
28:36This is Officer John Nolan.
28:38I need three units
28:38in an ambulance,
28:39code three,
28:39multiple sail and send,
28:40one critically wounded paramedic.
28:43Great job, honey.
28:46I appreciate you coming in
28:47at such short notice, Captain.
28:48Oh, are you kidding me?
28:49The Margaret Hoffman case
28:50is the one I can never forget.
28:52If you've got a fresh lead,
28:54I'll move heaven and earth
28:55to help you bring
28:56her killer to justice.
28:58We've got an old file
28:59plate out in here.
29:01Let's do it.
29:04Captain,
29:04I am Detective Nyla Harper.
29:06This is Detective Angela Lopez.
29:07This isn't about Margaret Hoffman.
29:09No, sir.
29:10I'll leave you to it.
29:16You think you can intimidate me
29:17with your little, uh,
29:18set up here?
29:19No, sir.
29:20You're a legendary tough guy
29:21who inspired loyalty
29:22in his men
29:23and fear in his enemies.
29:25Who the hell are you
29:26to mock me?
29:27Your worst nightmare.
29:29That's the first thing
29:30that springs to mind,
29:30but I don't know.
29:31It sounds a little cringy
29:32when I say it out loud, huh?
29:33We'll workshop it later.
29:35Okay.
29:35Right now,
29:36we're dying to know
29:37what happened to you.
29:38Why cross over
29:39to the dark side?
29:40I have no idea
29:40what you're talking about
29:41and I'm leaving.
29:42I guess we'll just have
29:42to get our answers
29:43from Franklin Rose.
29:44Or the other two felons
29:46that you recruited,
29:47Marcus Kennedy
29:47and Jeremiah Gomez.
29:52And what crimes
29:53do you think
29:54these men have been doing?
29:55Well, robbing drug dealers
29:56so you can sell
29:58the product yourself.
29:59And before you protest
30:01that you've never heard of them,
30:02we have Jeremiah
30:03and Marcus in custody
30:04and they dropped your name
30:05the second the cuffs came out.
30:07It's over, sir.
30:08We will be placing you
30:10under arrest.
30:11You have the right
30:11to remain silent.
30:13Anything you say can
30:14and will be used against you
30:15in a court of law.
30:16You have the right
30:17to an attorney.
30:17If you cannot afford
30:19an attorney,
30:20one will be provided for you.
30:21Do you understand?
30:28Yeah.
30:30Yeah, I understand.
30:32My entire career,
30:33I never once crossed the line.
30:35I was as straight
30:36and arrow as you could be.
30:39But my personal life
30:41was a bit 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
30:53cleaning up messes
30:54desperate people made.
30:58Feeling superior.
31:01Turns out we all
31:02have a tipping point.
31:03I was just gonna do
31:04the dope rips
31:04until I got caught up
31:05financially.
31:06I thought,
31:07who the hell am I hurting?
31:08Drug dealers?
31:09They'd shoot their mother
31:10for a trans am.
31:14I gave my life
31:15to the job.
31:18I did way more good
31:19for this city
31:20than the wrong I did now.
31:27Let's go.
31:29Come on.
31:30Come on.
31:43That's my clone.
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
31:56a recruitment drive
31:57and I thought,
31:58wouldn't it be fun
31:58if you and me
31:59worked together?
32:00It would.
32:01Yeah, it sure would.
32:01But listen, baby,
32:02you haven't actually gone inside
32:03and talked to anybody,
32:03have you?
32:04No, I waited
32:05like you asked me to.
32:06Great.
32:06Oh, that is so great.
32:08Listen, so I do have
32:09a couple errands
32:09I have to run.
32:10Why don't you
32:11come with me?
32:11No, no.
32:13Hey, hey, hey!
32:14Show me your hands!
32:16Turn around
32:16and walk to the glass now.
32:17All right.
32:18Turn around!
32:18All right.
32:20Franklin Rose,
32:21you're under arrest
32:22of felony robbery.
32:23I got it.
32:23Just let me call my boss.
32:25No need, my man.
32:26Captain Jennings
32:27is already in holding.
32:29Let's move.
32:33Kitty, are you serious?
32:37I've really got a golden gut,
32:38huh?
32:39I wouldn't know a decent guy
32:41if he came up to me
32:42and said...
32:42Hey, you weren't kidding
32:45when you said you had to go
32:45do a thing
32:46before we could drown
32:47my sorrows, huh?
32:48Mm-hmm.
32:50Hi.
32:51Hi.
32:52Kitty Adams.
32:53Seth Ridley, nice to meet you, Kitty.
32:55You, uh, new to town?
32:56You don't really have
32:57a big city vibe going on
32:59in a good way.
32:59Uh, Kitty,
33:01I don't think you should.
33:01Why don't you
33:02blow off your friends
33:04and have a drink
33:06with me instead?
33:07I'll tell you
33:07my life story.
33:09Go for it, dude.
33:11Okay.
33:13What?
33:14Nothing.
33:15Maybe it's such a bad idea.
33:16It's actually good.
33:17Mm-hmm.
33:24Detectives from
33:25the Pacific Division
33:26have connected
33:27our kidnappers
33:28to a bank robbery
33:29in Santa Monica
33:30they made off
33:30with over $2 million.
33:31Oh, that explains
33:32why they were so desperate
33:33to find it.
33:34And why Isaac
33:34was so determined
33:35not to tell them.
33:36Oh, he took that secret
33:37to the grave.
33:38Which means that money
33:38is still out there.
33:39Mm-hmm.
33:40Treasure hunt later?
33:42Yeah, we just have
33:43to give it back.
33:45Right.
33:45Less fun.
33:46Less fun.
33:47Mm-hmm.
33:51The good news
33:52is that I'm alive.
33:53What's the bad news?
33:55Well, all things considered,
33:57there is none.
33:58The surgery was straightforward
33:59and the bullet missed
34:00all your major organs.
34:02Thank God.
34:03But this leaves us
34:04with the outstanding question.
34:06Is this a life lesson
34:07or a cautionary tale?
34:08Something tells me
34:09you already know
34:10the answer to that.
34:10Oh.
34:11Cautionary tale all day.
34:13Definitely a thinker
34:14and not a doer.
34:16Well, personally,
34:17I think you would have made
34:18an excellent paramedic.
34:20You have more brain power
34:21than this entire hospital
34:22and just the right amount
34:24of bravery.
34:25That means a lot
34:26coming from the legend
34:27that is Bailey Noon
34:29and her husband's
34:30pretty cool, too.
34:31I told you.
34:32I'll keep it.
34:33You know, this reminds me
34:35of a fun allegory
34:36from Plato.
34:36It's much more compelling
34:38than the original
34:39ancient truth.
34:39I think you should rest.
34:41I'm fine.
34:42I'll just catch a hooper.
34:44You will not.
34:45I will drive you
34:46to your hotel.
34:47Plus, you promised me
34:49that we would have
34:50the chance to really talk,
34:51so I am going to
34:52take you hostage
34:53until we do.
34:55That's my girl.
34:57For what it's worth,
34:59I slammed the door
35:00in Ashton's face today.
35:03Figuratively.
35:05Disappointing.
35:08Like I told you before,
35:10he was just a temptation.
35:11Nothing more.
35:13But it did shake me up a bit.
35:16You have to admit
35:18that our marriage
35:19has been pretty static
35:20the last few years.
35:21I would have said solid,
35:23but I understand
35:25what you mean.
35:26I also understand now
35:29that this was more
35:30than just a new job for you.
35:33It was the beginning
35:34of something.
35:36But my question is,
35:37does our marriage
35:38have a part
35:39in this new beginning?
35:40Yes.
35:42I just got my head
35:43turned around
35:44and I made a mess of things.
35:47I want us to be healthy again.
35:49I know we can't just
35:50click our heels together
35:52and make that happen.
35:54We can.
35:56If we do it in therapy.
35:58Yes.
35:59I think that's exactly
36:01where we should go.
36:04Look,
36:05how about
36:05if
36:07I take you home?
36:09You can sleep
36:10in the guest room
36:11if you want,
36:13but
36:14we can keep talking.
36:19Okay.
36:21I'd like that.
36:25You're not getting
36:26nothing tonight.
36:26Just be in your crutch.
36:27I'm just saying.
36:29Doesn't know
36:30what to do
36:32for me.
36:35Come here to celebrate
36:36the death of Shangri-La?
36:37Not at all.
36:38It's been a challenging
36:39day all around.
36:41Wanted to make sure
36:41you're doing okay.
36:43Well, thanks, kid.
36:44That's a lot more thoughtful
36:45than my traitorous
36:46lottery neighbors have been.
36:48They couldn't wait
36:49to get out of here.
36:51I mean,
36:51it looks like they bought
36:52you a few things
36:53on the way out, though.
36:54Oh, if they think
36:54they can talk me
36:55out of suing
36:56by buying me barbecues
36:57and ice makers,
36:58they are sadly mistaken.
37:00Does that mean
37:01that they're up for grabs?
37:02No, I'm not an idiot.
37:03I already sold them
37:03on eBay
37:04for a buttload.
37:05I don't care.
37:06Since you're both here,
37:07I'm way past due
37:09with flushing
37:09the septic system
37:10on the RV
37:11and it takes
37:11at least three hands.
37:13Oh, we got that.
37:14We got all the plans.
37:16The thing.
37:17The thing.
37:17Yeah, that thing.
37:18Yep.
37:19Yeah.
37:20You have yourself
37:20a good night, okay?
37:21Mm-hmm.
37:22Okay.
37:22Bye, Mr. Smitty.
37:24Hey, guys.
37:28Early returns
37:29are coming in.
37:30Good news?
37:30No, we're getting crushed.
37:32Hey.
37:33Okay.
37:34So, my concession speech
37:35is pre-recorded,
37:36ready to be released
37:37into the world
37:38just as soon
37:38as I officially lose.
37:40It's soon, babe.
37:40They're ready to call in.
37:42Listen, let us
37:43take you to dinner.
37:44We know this great
37:44Mexican spot
37:45up in the valley.
37:46Is it Nolan
37:47and Bailey's place?
37:49You told.
37:51He saw all the decorations.
37:54What, did you want me to lie?
37:55Yes.
37:55It's fine.
37:56I can think of no better place
37:57to celebrate my failures
37:58than with all of my friends.
38:00You made it to the finish line.
38:03You fell down on your face
38:05while everybody watched.
38:10You lost the race.
38:12You tried to win.
38:13and you can't even argue
38:15cause you lost by a lot.
38:19I did.
38:20You tried your best
38:22and you got wrecked
38:23and now you're looking
38:25all depressed.
38:26Oh, oh, oh, oh.
38:30You made a new mistake.
38:32You feel ashamed.
38:34You don't have to lie away.
38:40If you think you're on your own
38:43just come home
38:44We'll be waiting
38:46when you don't know
38:47what to do anymore
38:49That's what we're here for.
38:51Yeah!
38:53Woo!
38:54That's what we're here for.
39:01Give me a piece to eat.
39:04This just feels weird.
39:08Oh, okay.
39:09Just...
39:09Well, that's my...
39:10Yeah.
39:11There.
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 going to fire you anyways.
39:23Might as well speak your truth.
39:25It felt so good
39:26to cut through the noise
39:27and stop playing politics.
39:30It also made me realize
39:31how little I'd accomplished
39:33at the DA's office.
39:34I mean, I tried to change
39:35the system from within
39:36but without being the boss
39:37without having that power
39:38it's a losing battle.
39:40So I think I'm going to go back
39:42to being a defense lawyer.
39:45I figured
39:45but there are a lot of cops
39:47who are going to feel betrayed
39:48like you're siding with the enemy.
39:50Well, there's only one cop
39:52whose opinion I care about.
39:54No.
39:55Yeah.
39:56I'm all for it.
39:57Our sex life was unreal
39:59and 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
40:10because I think you're incredible
40:11and because I got really excited
40:13when I realized that Selena
40:14rhymes with zebra and subpoena.
40:16Does it though?
40:16Close enough for art.
40:18Look, I'm sorry
40:19that it made you feel self-conscious
40:21but a song is not
40:22a statement of truth.
40:23It's an opinion.
40:25I think you're the most
40:25beautiful woman in the world.
40:27That does not objectively
40:28make you that.
40:29Okay.
40:29Well, 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
40:35amazing people on the daily.
40:38I mean, seriously.
40:40Take a look at that group
40:41of badass overachievers.
40:42There's every single one of them
40:45a unicorn in their own way.
40:46And you belong right there with them.
40:49I won't be taking any arguments
40:51at this time.
40:56All the speech.
40:59Everyone, if you'd gather around,
41:01it is official.
41:02Sadly, Wesley will not be
41:04the new district attorney.
41:07That's okay.
41:08But Wesley, clearly everybody
41:09in this room is fiercely
41:12proud of you
41:13for putting yourself out there
41:14and shining a light
41:16on what is wrong
41:16with our system
41:17and the ways in which
41:18it could be fixed
41:19if we were only
41:20collectively brave enough
41:22to try.
41:22So, we raise our glasses
41:24to you.
41:25To Wesley.
41:26Woo!
41:26Yay!
41:28I can't say that it was
41:29an enjoyable experience
41:30but man, was it memorable.
41:33We've all gone through
41:34so much together this year.
41:35Sometimes it felt like
41:36it was more than we could handle
41:37but it wasn't
41:38because we had each other.
41:42It's safe to say that
41:43I 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.
41:52Yay!
41:53Woo!
41:55Let's eat.
41:56Please.
41:57We'll be here, Margo.
41:58We don't know what to do anymore.
42:00That's what we're here for.
42:05That's what we're here for.
42:22We don't know what to do anymore.
42:45Damn it.
