00:00You live inside my heart, brown eyes in the line of fire
00:06I get worried when you're gone too long
00:12Sorry, did you say something?
00:14No, you just were making a face.
00:16Anything all right?
00:17Yeah, yeah, totally.
00:18It's just, um, well, Raj wrote a new song about me.
00:22I mean, he's so talented and it's so beautiful and it's all...
00:25A little overwhelming?
00:27Yeah.
00:28I wish somebody was writing love songs about me.
00:29The three of you are so happy, my love life is as cold as a frosted frog.
00:33You're young, Penn.
00:34There's plenty of time to find true happiness.
00:35Yeah, or learn to love being alone.
00:38All right, let's focus.
00:39Just got out of a meeting with the brass and everyone is feeling the pinch.
00:42Recruitment numbers are down, retirement numbers are up.
00:45Bottom line, prepare to work more OT while the department manages staffing shortages
00:49and we launch this new recruitment drive.
00:54Oh!
00:55What's going on?
00:56We won!
00:57We won!
00:59One what?
01:00The lottery.
01:01Sangrela has been playing every week for 12 years.
01:06We're rich, bitch!
01:08Smitty, out!
01:11When did you say this recruitment drive was?
01:14I'm gonna win all you like, I know you want me to die.
01:22You should call in sick.
01:23Hang out with me on my day off.
01:24That would be a bad look on my first day back.
01:27Oh, it would be fine.
01:28I mean, do you even have an official job yet?
01:30No.
01:30And I'm trying so hard to be zen about that.
01:33My former position was perfect.
01:35It's my own fault for taking a leave and going to D.C.
01:37Any idea what Kevin Foster's gonna give you?
01:39No, we're talking first thing this morning.
01:41So what are you gonna do today?
01:42I'm gonna find out how many naps.
01:43There's too many naps.
01:45My plan is to do absolutely nothing.
01:47Oh, you were gonna fix the drain in the shower.
01:49Absolutely nothing except fix the drain in the shower.
01:51Okay.
01:53Though I know it's not my hair in there.
01:55What was that?
01:56I said have a good day out there.
01:58Okay.
02:05I'm confused.
02:06I just voted for you.
02:07Why are you two going to work?
02:08Shouldn't you be doing the whole last minute campaigning thing?
02:11Rita wanted him to, but we talked about it and...
02:13I'm gonna lose.
02:14Badly.
02:14Rita gave us the latest poll numbers and then quit.
02:16So rather than waste another minute on a failed campaign that neither one of us enjoyed for a second,
02:20we are first day of the rest of our lives in it.
02:22Okay.
02:23Well, I can't complain about having my bestie back on the job.
02:26Hey, why don't we do dinner tonight?
02:27Just the four of us.
02:28You're not gonna watch the returns?
02:30No.
02:30There's no point.
02:32I love you, loser.
02:33I love you, too.
02:36You would have made an amazing DA.
02:39Thanks.
02:41Bye.
02:44Vivian is gonna fire him the second she wins, isn't she?
02:48A hundred percent.
02:49Yeah.
02:50All right.
02:50I'll be right in.
02:51All right.
02:56What's up?
02:57Hey, um, how would you feel about having a small gathering at your house tonight?
03:01Oh, what's the occasion?
03:02Wesley tanking the DA race.
03:03Is that cause for celebration?
03:05No, but it is a time for friends to get together and support each other no matter what.
03:09Also, it needs to be a surprise or else they'll just try and talk me out of it.
03:12Got it.
03:12Yeah, sure.
03:13We can have it here.
03:13Great.
03:13I will start a group chat.
03:15All right.
03:15Do you need me to...
03:16And you hung up.
03:18Here's what I love.
03:19The clear amount of industry and effort that you've put in.
03:23But?
03:25But it is a little, you know, narrowly focused.
03:29Join the LAPD.
03:30Be a badass hero.
03:31Protect the innocent.
03:32It's reflective of your lived experience, but it's not exactly reflective of the multitude
03:36that is the LAPD.
03:39Yeah.
03:40You're in charge of staffing this up.
03:41What?
03:41Hold on.
03:42No, that's...
03:42I was not trying to...
03:45Fine.
03:47Penn!
03:48Boris!
03:49You're on a special assignment today.
03:50Penn's still a rookie.
03:51Exactly.
03:51Who better to give insight to a recruit than someone going through training?
03:54Guys, get started.
03:55The paperwork's inside.
03:57Hey.
03:58How's it going?
03:59Good.
03:59Did the brass send you down here to help me with the recruitment drive?
04:01In a consulting capacity.
04:03And only if you need me.
04:04So say you don't need me so I can go back to work.
04:06Ah!
04:07Oh, are you okay?
04:08Yeah, I'm fine.
04:10Smitty!
04:11What?
04:12You quit?
04:13No!
04:15I took an unscheduled day off while I briefly submitted my retirement papers, but that's all done now.
04:20Why?
04:20Hey, what happened?
04:21Oh, they say I didn't kick in for my share of the ticket, so I don't get my share of
04:24the payout.
04:25But I'm always late with my tenant.
04:26They know I'm good for it.
04:28Ah!
04:28Oh, God.
04:29You are not okay.
04:30Smitty, make yourself useful and get the lieutenant down to St. Stephen's.
04:32No, no.
04:32I can drive myself.
04:33No, you can't, but I can call an ambulance.
04:35Or your wife?
04:35We can call your wife.
04:36No.
04:36No, definitely not.
04:38Let's go, Smitty.
04:40I do not want to hear about your lottery situation.
04:42No problem.
04:43But I do have a teletherapy appointment starting at 5, so you might overhear a bit.
04:52Good morning.
04:53Oh, good morning.
04:54Come on in.
04:55Thank you for being so understanding.
04:57I know I left you in the lurch when I went to D.C.
04:59All good.
05:00So, what do you have in store for me?
05:03Well, obviously, your old job is gone.
05:05But we do have a new class of paramedic recruits, and I want you to train one.
05:09You're giving me a rookie?
05:11I am.
05:12Oakley!
05:14Yes, sir?
05:14This is Bailey Noon.
05:15You'll be training with her.
05:17Pleasure to meet you.
05:17I'm eager to get started.
05:18I've read everything there is to read on triage medicine, not just in the U.S., but as far
05:22afield as Mumbai.
05:23They published a fascinating study 12 days ago on emergency medicine and high-density populations.
05:27I got to send you a link.
05:28Do you read Hindi, by any chance, or do you need the English translation?
05:32Good luck.
05:35Officer in agony here.
05:37Bat 11.
05:38Oh, hell no.
05:39I changed my mind.
05:40I'm fine.
05:40I'm fine.
05:41Oh, what is going on?
05:43He woke up with a stabbing pain in his lower back.
05:45And it hurts when he pees.
05:47The Smitty!
05:47What?
05:47I could hear you cursing from outside the station bathroom.
05:50Oh, my God.
05:52Wait.
05:53You're that doctor.
05:54You're the one.
05:54Smitty!
05:55Get out of here now.
05:56Back to the station.
05:57Yes, sir.
05:58Good luck.
06:00I'm the doctor that what?
06:02The heal now.
06:03I really don't, but you know what?
06:04That can wait till we figure out what is going on with you.
06:06I want a different doctor.
06:08I am the only one who's free right now.
06:10Oh, wait.
06:12Sure.
06:13Yeah.
06:14Okay.
06:18Please tell me you haven't napped yet, and that you haven't forgotten to fix the bathroom
06:21drain.
06:22No, of course not.
06:23I just called to see where you were assigned.
06:26I got a rookie.
06:27I knew you secretly wanted to be me.
06:29I've never trained anyone before.
06:31It's my first day back, and this kid is kind of green.
06:35So, are you looking for some tips?
06:36Would you come meet us, give a first blush eval, and maybe a few pointers?
06:41Yes, of course.
06:43But it's going to cost you.
06:45I hope so.
06:46I got to go.
06:47All right.
06:47Looking forward to you hung up as well.
06:50A butt load of hemostatic gauze as requested.
06:56How can I help?
06:57Wash first.
06:58I like things a certain way.
07:00A lot of people put their first-in bag on the gurney, but I like it in the outside compartment.
07:05That way I can grab the gurney while you grab the bag.
07:07Smart.
07:08You know, in early agrarian societies, they used to just...
07:09Let's just focus on modern emergency medicine.
07:12Yeah, yeah, of course.
07:15But I find that understanding the history of things can give context to modern emergency medicine
07:18and elucidates the reasons why we do things the way we do it today.
07:24All right, look, you can spot the losers a mile away.
07:26Don't waste any time with anyone you know won't pass the physical exam or the psych valve.
07:29Got it.
07:30Fill out a questionnaire.
07:31Let them know that we follow up with a polygraph and a background check.
07:33That'll knock out at least a third of the duds.
07:35Okay, just so I can set expectations, I mean, what ratio of good candidates to losers should we expect?
07:42Does this background check include Florida?
07:45So I have been arrested before, but I wasn't convicted.
07:48Does that count?
07:49Defense.
07:49What was the charge?
07:50Befouling the punch bowl at a company picnic.
07:53And felony murder.
07:56And I thought to myself, why not take this white-hot rage that I feel every second of every day
08:02and use it for something positive?
08:04Like curb-stomping violent felons.
08:07Okay, try MMA.
08:08Next.
08:10Morning.
08:12Heard about the personnel shortage.
08:14And, uh, well, you guys need cops and I went back in.
08:17So, how can we make this happen?
08:22Where did you go to school?
08:24Johns Hopkins for my master's in neuroscience.
08:26Well, actually it was a double master's in that and philosophy.
08:29Okay, well, when we...
08:31I had a PhD in molecular biology at UCLA.
08:32Then I spent a year at Oxford doing medical research.
08:35That was around the time I started to think, maybe I should have some real life experience.
08:39Well, you've come to the right place.
08:41Rescue 53, respond to 31488 12th Avenue.
08:45Manage a stress, unknown description, unknown injuries.
08:47And there's no better time to start.
08:49Control, this is Rescue 53.
08:50Show us responding.
09:07Control, this is Rescue 53 on scene for the distressed male at 12th Avenue.
09:14I thought we'd be doing this over coffee.
09:16What better way to evaluate him than seeing him in action?
09:19Seeing him in action.
09:20Exactly.
09:20Chase, this is my husband, John.
09:22He's off duty, LAPD.
09:23Nice to meet you.
09:24He looks way more than distressed.
09:25Let's flip him over, grab his head, and keep him stable.
09:27On three.
09:28One, two, three.
09:32He's alive, but unconscious, probably from heavy blood loss.
09:40Oh.
09:41Gun shovels.
09:42That explains the heavy blood loss.
09:50I'm pushing ketamine.
09:51We're trying to help you.
09:54Let's get him to St. Stephen's.
09:56All right.
09:56I'll mobilize LAPD.
09:57Radio's in the car.
10:03Get away from him.
10:05Flippin?
10:06He got the radio.
10:08Please don't hurt us.
10:09Get up, traitor.
10:09He can't answer you.
10:11I gave him a sedative.
10:11Then wake him back up.
10:12But that's not how medicine works.
10:14And who the hell are you, huh?
10:15I'm a doctor.
10:16I'm just doing a ride-along.
10:17No, can't stay here.
10:19Get Isaac in the car.
10:20You can't do that.
10:21That'll kill him.
10:22Then get him in the ambulance.
10:23You're going to keep him alive till we get what we need.
10:25I'm on it.
10:29Whoa, whoa, whoa.
10:29Hey, back up.
10:30They got it.
10:31What do you want to do with this guy?
10:32I need him.
10:33I'm just a paramedic.
10:33He's a doctor.
10:36All right, search him, and let's get gone.
10:38Meet us back at the office.
10:39Hands up.
10:44Let's go.
10:48Come on, come on, come on.
10:50Get in.
11:10You know, the history of Battlefield Madison is truly fascinating.
11:13Until about 50 years ago, most major wounds were guaranteed fatal.
11:15Hey, do you want to die?
11:16No, not particularly.
11:16Then shut up and drive.
11:19What did this guy do to you anyway?
11:20He stole our money.
11:22Isaac here was in charge of keeping it safe.
11:24We were supposed to meet, divvy it up.
11:26Now he's stashed it somewhere.
11:27Trying to keep it all for himself, but that's not going to happen.
11:30Well, this money he stole, assuming he recently stole it from someone else.
11:33Brink's truck, bank, what?
11:35You ask a lot of questions, Doc.
11:36Shut up.
11:38The only answer I care about is, what exactly is your plan here?
11:40Three steps.
11:41Wake the traitor up, get him to tell us where the money is, kill him.
11:45This man is barely stable.
11:47What happens if the third step comes first?
11:48Then you're dying in this ambulance along with him.
11:54I knew Seth still had dreams of being a cop, but I did not think he would try again at
11:57me to worship.
11:58Yeah, well, he thinks he's catching us at a vulnerable moment.
12:00He's right.
12:00We need cops on the street now, not in six months after the applicants finish training.
12:04Technically, all he has to do is pass his physical and he's back in uniform.
12:06The physical is not my concern.
12:08It is everything else.
12:10Listen, Seth has changed.
12:11I know it's hard to believe, but he's committed to a different path.
12:13You are biased, Penn, because he saved your life.
12:16Guilty as charged, but he deserves a second chance.
12:32Okay.
12:34I'm ready.
12:35Whatever you guys need.
12:36The only way I'll even consider recommending you for reinstatement is if you pass a polygraph.
12:45Okay, let's do it.
12:47Why are you refusing treatment?
12:49I'm not.
12:50I just saw a doctor.
12:51He told me I had kidney stones, major ones.
12:54I'm sorry.
12:54I heard that pain is excruciating.
12:58Well, while you are being treated, I am your patient advocate.
13:01So, is there anything that you would like me to advocate for?
13:05Yes.
13:05I was severely mistreated by Dr. Ashton.
13:08I want him fired.
13:08Wade.
13:09Hey, you asked.
13:11I will check on you in a little bit.
13:15Okay.
13:17Luna.
13:19What?
13:20Can I talk to you?
13:23Did you and your husband separate because of me?
13:26What?
13:26No.

13:38gave you the impression that i wanted anything more you absolutely gave me that impression if
13:44i had suggested over dinner that we check into a hotel you wouldn't have said no probably not
13:50you tell yourself that it's harmless but what it is is selfish doesn't matter to you what the

21:08hey hey this must be burning oh yeah why oh just um i was watching a news story about the
21:16uh
21:17election what's up you remember like a thousand years ago when this all started we talked about doing an
21:21announcement speech to lay out my full progressive agenda yeah before you chickened out well if i'm gonna concede this
21:26election i want to go off-swinging i want everyone to know exactly what i believe
21:31Can you give me an assist?
21:32My speechwriter quit.
21:33Sure.
21:33Yeah, I sure can.
21:35You know, how about you follow me into my office,
21:36stepping over here?
21:37Yeah.
21:37What kind of things were you thinking about changing?
21:39I really like what we did the first time around.
21:40I just didn't get to nail it.
21:42Oh, right.
21:44So, what's the verdict?
21:45Well, according to the polygraph,
21:46you told the truth about everything.
21:47Which was unexpected
21:48and proves that you've made a real effort to change.
21:51Okay, great.
21:53No?
21:55No?
21:55Look, the fact that you knowingly let us drive into danger,
21:58failed to do anything about it,
21:59and then lying to protect yourself
22:01is unforgivable to the department.
22:02Even though I sacrificed myself to save Nolan's life?
22:06What about that?
22:07Does my loss count for anything?
22:09Honestly, it's not enough.
22:11Even if you were to reapply to the FTO program,
22:13I would have to share those test results with Internal Affairs.
22:15Wait.
22:17So, this whole thing's a setup?
22:19I catch 22, I lie about the fire,
22:21and I fail the test.
22:22I tell the truth,
22:23and then you're going to use it against me.
22:25I thought you were giving me a fair shot here.
22:26Look, I'm sorry.
22:27I can see that you are genuinely trying to be a better person,
22:30but there is no coming back from what you did.
22:32Not here.
22:38Okay, I understand.
22:41Thank you for giving me the opportunity to tell the truth.
22:44I know that could not have been easy,
22:46given what I put you through.
22:48Ah, man, I thought it would be enough for me
22:50to come in here and to...
22:52say I'm sorry and to do the work
22:53and not be that guy anymore,
22:56but...
22:58I guess I finally understand
23:00that there are simply things
23:01I just don't get to have anymore.
23:03There are doors that I close
23:06that...
23:07that I'm never going to reopen.
23:11Appreciate everything you taught me.
23:12I really do.
23:17Good luck, Ridley.
23:19Now, you walk out of here
23:20knowing you finally took responsibility
23:22for your actions.
23:23And in my book,
23:25that counts for something.
23:34Bad news.
23:35There's no cop in the LAPD
23:36with your boyfriend's name.
23:37Check again.
23:38He's closed massive cases.
23:40The mayor gave him an award.
23:42I'm so sorry,
23:43but none of that is true.
23:45Well, if he's lying,
23:46why is his boss on your wall?
23:52You sure that's him?
23:54Yeah, Captain Jennings.
23:55Okay, well, that is problematic
23:57in a whole different way.
23:58Howard Jennings doesn't work here either.
24:00He retired eight years ago.
24:08Keep pumping.
24:09It needs to flow or it'll coagulate.
24:10Damn, bro.
24:11The human body is so cool.
24:14He's stabilizing.
24:15Uh, you might want to take a look at this.
24:17I think it's femoral hyperglobocyst exfoliating.
24:22As soon as they find out where the money is,
24:24they're going to kill us.
24:25We need a way out.
24:25Well, you're the forgotten man right now.
24:27So if you see a move to make do it,
24:28not jump in.
24:31Are you sleeping, beauty?
24:32I am.
24:33You're in hell, bitch.
24:36Where's my money?
24:37Screw you.
24:37Come on, Isaac.
24:38You can't take it with you.
24:39Okay, I'll tell you.
24:40I'll tell you.
24:41I hit it.
24:45Just give him a second.
24:47He's still coming out of sedation.
24:48Yeah, he's never going to tell us.
24:49He's just going to screw us and then die.
24:51I hope it hurts, man.
24:53I hope you're in so much pain.
24:54You're praying for the sweet mercy of death
24:56because it's coming.
24:57I don't feel good.
24:58Can you unhook me?
25:00Hey, lady, you might want to take that tourniquet.
25:01Whoa, whoa.
25:02No!
25:08You tell me or I'll take a foot.
25:10Hey, what's that mean?
25:12His heart sucks.
25:13Get him back.
25:14Now!
25:15You yelled at us for shooting him,
25:16then you chopped his arm off.
25:17What the hell's wrong with you?
25:18I'm getting my money.
25:19I spent six months planning this job.
25:21Yeah, from the safety of this office
25:22while we're the ones sticking our knees.
25:23Hey, bring him back.
25:24No, we're out of time.
25:25Hey, stop arguing.
25:26Get over here and help me.
25:27With what?
25:28To fix your boss's mistake,
25:29I need you to pinch off this artery
25:30so I can get a shot of adrenaline.
25:32Do it!
25:36Hey!
25:39Down, honey.
25:40He's a cop!
25:42Whoa!
25:44Whoa!
25:48Yeah!
25:50Oh!
25:56Did we win?
25:57Yes, we did.
25:58Because of you.
25:59911, what's your emergency?
26:00This is Officer John Nolan.
26:01Any three units in an ambulance,
26:02code three, multiple sale and send.
26:04I want to critically wounded the paramedic.
26:06Great job, honey.
26:09I appreciate you coming in on such short notice, Captain.
26:11Oh, are you kidding me?
26:12The Margaret Hoffman case is the one I can never forget.
26:15If you've got a fresh lead,
26:16I'll move heaven and earth to help you bring her killer to justice.
26:20We've got old files laid out in here.
26:22Let's do it.
26:25Captain, I'm Detective Nyla Harper.
26:27This is Detective Angela Lopez.
26:28This isn't about Margaret Hoffman.
26:30No, sir.
26:31I'll leave you to it.
26:36Think you can intimidate me with your little, uh, set-up here?
26:39No, sir.
26:40You're a legendary tough guy
26:41who inspired loyalty in his men
26:43and fear in his enemies.
26:45Who the hell are you to mock me?
26:46Your worst nightmare.
26:48That's the first thing that springs to mind,
26:49but I don't know.
26:50It sounds a little cringy when I say it out loud, huh?
26:52We'll workshop it later.
26:53Okay.
26:54Right now, we're dying to know what happened to you.
26:56Why cross over to the dark side?
26:58I have no idea what you're talking about, and I'm leaving.
26:59I guess we'll just have to get our answers from Franklin Rose
27:02or the other two felons that you recruited,
27:04Marcus Kennedy and Jeremiah Gomez.
27:09And what crimes do you think these men have been doing?
27:12Well, robbing drug dealers
27:13so you can sell the product yourself.
27:16And before you protest that you've never heard of them,
27:18we have Jeremiah and Marcus in custody,
27:20and they dropped your name the second the cuffs came out.
27:22It's over, sir.
27:24We will be placing you under arrest.
27:26You have the right to remain silent.
27:28Anything you say can and will be used against you in a court of law.
27:31You have the right to an attorney.
27:32If you cannot afford an attorney, one will be provided for you.
27:35Do you understand?
27:42Yeah.
27:43Yeah, I understand.
27:45My entire career, I never once crossed the line.
27:48I was as straight and arrow as you could be.
27:52But my personal life was a bit, uh, more chaotic.
27:56Three wives, six kids?
27:58Seven.
27:58Oof.
27:59Got expensive.
28:00Got ridiculous.
28:01Credit cards were all maxed out.
28:02I was behind on everything.
28:03You spend your entire career cleaning up messes desperate people made.
28:09Feeling superior.
28:12Turns out we all have a tipping point.
28:13I was just going to do the dope rips until I got caught up financially.
28:17I thought, who the hell am I hurting?
28:18Drug dealers?
28:19They'd shoot their mother for a trans am.
28:23I gave my life to the job.
28:27I did way more good for this city than the wrong I did now.
28:36Let's go.
28:37Come on.
28:49That's my client.
28:57Hi.
28:58Hey, baby.
28:58I hope it's okay.
28:59I wanted to surprise you.
29:00Boy, did you?
29:01They were having a recruitment drive, and I thought, wouldn't it be fun if you and me
29:04worked together?
29:05You would.
29:06Yeah, sure would.
29:06But listen, baby, you haven't actually gone inside and talked to anybody, have you?
29:09No.
29:09I waited like you asked me to.
29:11Great.
29:11Oh, that is so great.
29:12Listen, so I do have a couple errands I have to run.
29:14Why don't you come with me?
29:16No.
29:16No.
29:17Hey, hey, hey.
29:18Show me your hands.
29:19Turn around and walk to the glass, now.
29:21All right.
29:21Turn around.
29:22All right.
29:23Franklin Rose, you're under arrest of felony robbery.
29:26I can't.
29:26Just let me call my boss.
29:28No need, my man.
29:29Captain Jennings is already in holding.
29:31Let's move.
29:35Kitty.
29:36Kitty?
29:37Are you serious?
29:39I really got a golden gut, huh?
29:41I wouldn't know a decent guy if he came up to me and said...
29:44Hey.
29:45You weren't kidding when you said you had to go do a thing before we could try my sorrows,
29:48huh?
29:49Mm-hmm.
29:51Hi.
29:51Hi.
29:52Kitty Adams.
29:54Seth Ridley.
29:54Nice to meet you, Kitty.
29:55You, uh, new to town?
29:56You don't really have a big city vibe going on.
29:59In a good way.
30:00Uh, Kitty, I don't think you should.
30:01Why don't you blow off your friends and have a drink with me instead?
30:06I'll tell you my life story.
30:08Go for it, dude.
30:10Okay.
30:12What?
30:12Nothing.
30:13Maybe it's such a bad idea, it's actually good.
30:22Detectives from the Pacific Division have connected our kidnappers to a bank robbery in Santa Monica.
30:27They made off with over $2 million.
30:28All that explains why they were so desperate to find it.
30:31And why Isaac was so determined not to tell them.
30:32He took that secret to the grave.
30:34Which means that money's still out there.
30:35Hmm.
30:36Treasure hunt later?
30:38Yeah, we just have to give it back.
30:40Right.
30:41That's less fun.
30:42Less fun.
30:46The good news is that I'm alive.
30:48What's the bad news?
30:50Well, all things considered, there is none.
30:52The surgery was straightforward.
30:54The bullet missed all your major organs.
30:56Thank God.
30:57But this leaves us with the outstanding question.
30:59Is this a life lesson or a cautionary tale?
31:02Something tells me you already know the answer to that.
31:04Oh.
31:04Cautionary tale.
31:06All day.
31:06I'm definitely a thinker and not a doer.
31:09Well, personally, I think you would have made an excellent paramedic.
31:12You have more brain power than this entire hospital and just the right amount of bravery.
31:16That means a lot coming from the legend that is Bailey Noon.
31:21And her husband's pretty cool, too.
31:23I told you.
31:23I'll keep it.
31:25You know, this reminds me of a fun allegory from Plato.
31:28It's much more compelling than the original ancient three.
31:30Shh.
31:30I think you should rest.
31:31I'm fine.
31:32I'll just catch a Uber.
31:34You will not.
31:35And we'll drive you to your hotel.
31:38Plus, you promised me that we would have a chance to really talk.
31:41So I am going to take you hostage until we do.
31:44That's my girl.
31:46For what it's worth, I slammed the door in Ashton's face today.
31:52Figuratively.
31:53Disappointing.
31:56Like I told you before, he was just a temptation.
31:59Nothing more.
32:01But it did shake me up a bit.
32:04You have to admit that our marriage has been pretty static the last few years.
32:08I would have said solid, but I understand what you mean.
32:13I also understand now that this was more than just a new job for you.
32:18It was the beginning of something.
32:22But my question is, does our marriage have a part in this new beginning?
32:26Yes.
32:27I just got my head turned around and I made a mess of things.
32:32I want us to be healthy again.
32:34I know we can't just click our heels together and make that happen.
32:38We can.
32:39If we do it in therapy.
32:42Yes.
32:43I think that's exactly where we should go.
32:47Look, how about if...
32:50I take you home.
32:52You can sleep in the guest room if you want.
32:56But...
32:56We can keep talking.
33:01Okay.
33:03I'd like that.
33:06You're not getting nothing tonight.
33:07Just being your crutch.
33:08I'm just saying.
33:15Come here to celebrate the death of Shangri-La?
33:17Not at all.
33:18It's been a challenging day all around.
33:20Wanted to make sure you're doing okay.
33:22Well, thanks, kid.
33:23That's a lot more thoughtful than my traitorous lottery neighbors have been.
33:27They couldn't wait to get out of here.
33:29I mean, it looks like they bought you a few things on the way out, though.
33:32If they think they can talk me out of suing by buying me barbecues and ice makers, they are sadly
33:37mistaken.
33:38Does that mean that they're up for grabs?
33:40No, I'm not an idiot.
33:41I already sold them on eBay for a buttload.
33:43Okay.
33:43Since you're both here, I'm way past due with flushing the septic system on the RV and it takes at
33:48least three hands.
33:50Oh, we got that.
33:51We got it.
33:52We got all the plans.
33:52The thing.
33:53The thing.
33:54Yeah, that thing.
33:54Yep.
33:55Yeah.
33:56Give yourself a good night, okay?
33:57Mm-hmm.
33:58Okay.
33:58Bye, Mrs. Smitty.
33:59Hey, guys.
34:03Early returns are coming in.
34:05Good news?
34:06No.
34:06We're getting crushed.
34:07Hey.
34:08Okay.
34:09So my concession speech is pre-recorded, ready to be released into the world just as soon as I officially
34:14lose.
34:14It's soon, babe.
34:15They're ready to call in.
34:16Listen, let us take you to dinner.
34:18We know this great Mexican spot up in the valley.
34:20What is it?
34:21Nolan and Bailey's place?
34:23You told.
34:25He saw all the decorations.
34:27What, did you want me to lie?
34:28Yes.
34:29It's fine.
34:29I can think of no better place to celebrate my failures than with all of my friends.
34:33You made it to the finish line.
34:35You fell down on your face while everybody watched.
34:42You lost the race.
34:43You tried to win.
34:44And you can't even argue because you lost by your love.
34:50I did.
34:51You tried your best and you got wrecked.
34:54And now you're looking all depressed.
34:56Oh.
35:00You made a new mistake.
35:02You feel ashamed.
35:04You don't have to lie away.
35:09If you think you're on your own, just come home.
35:13We'll be waiting when you don't know what to do anymore.
35:17That's what we're here for.
35:19Yay!
35:20Thank you, baby.
35:21Woo!
35:22That's what we're here for.
35:28Get me a piece to eat.
35:31This just feels weird.
35:34Oh, okay.
35:35Just, that's my, okay.
35:36Yeah.
35:37There.
35:37Well, thank you.
35:40They're about to play your speech.
35:42You want to turn on the news?
35:43No.
35:44No, I think that's in our rearview mirror now.
35:46Well, Vivian was going to fire you anyways.
35:48Might as well speak your truth.
35:50It felt so good to cut through the noise.
35:52You know, stop playing politics.
35:55It also made me realize how little I'd accomplished at the DA's office.
35:58I mean, I tried to change the system from within,
36:00but without being the boss, without having that power,
36:02it's a losing battle.
36:03So I think I'm going to go back to being a defense lawyer.
36:08I figured, but there are a lot of cops who are going to feel betrayed,
36:11like you're siding with the enemy.
36:13Well, there's only one cop whose opinion I care about.
36:17So?
36:17Yeah.
36:18I'm all for it.
36:19Our sex life was unreal, and we're on opposite sides.
36:22Yes, it was.
36:23Oh.
36:24Okay.
36:25Hmm.
36:26Okay.
36:27Okay.
36:29Here's the thing.
36:30I wrote the song because I think you're incredible,
36:32and because I got really excited when I realized that Selena rhymes with zebra and subpoena.
36:36Does it, though?
36:37Close enough for art.
36:38Look, I'm sorry that it made you feel self-conscious,
36:41but a song is not a statement of truth.
36:43It's an opinion.
36:44I think you're the most beautiful woman in the world.
36:46That does not objectively make you that.
36:48Okay, well, in case you haven't noticed,
36:49I am a painfully humble person.
36:51I mean, how can I not be?
36:52I'm surrounded by the most amazing people on the daily.
36:56I mean, seriously.
36:58Take a look at that group of badass overachievers.
37:00Every single one of them a unicorn in their own way.
37:04And you belong right there with them.
37:06I won't be taking any arguments at this time.
37:12All the speech.
37:15Everyone, if you'd gather around, it is official.
37:18Sadly, Wesley will not be the new district attorney.
37:22That's okay.
37:24But, Wesley, clearly everybody in this room is fiercely proud of you
37:28for putting yourself out there and shining a light on what is wrong with our system
37:32and the ways in which it could be fixed if we were only collectively brave enough to try.
37:36So, we raise our glasses to you.
37:39To Wesley.
37:39Woo!
37:40Yay!
37:42I can't say that it was an enjoyable experience, but man, was it memorable.
37:46We've all gone through so much together this year.
37:48Sometimes it felt like it was more than we could handle,
37:50but it wasn't because we had each other.
37:54It's safe to say that I have no idea what the future has in store,
37:57but I do know one thing.
37:58We won't be going through it alone.
38:00Because we're a family.
38:02So, thank you.
38:03Hear, hear.
38:04Yay!
38:05Woo!
38:06Let's eat.
38:07Please.
38:08We'll be with you and we don't know what to do anymore.
38:11That's what we're here for.
38:16That's what we're here for.
38:35Let's go.
38:40Let's go.
38:40Let's go.
38:54Let's go.
