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 all right?
00:19Yeah, 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 and my love life
00:34is as 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.
00:42All right, 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.
00:50Bottom line, prepare to work more OT where the department manages staffing shortages and we launched this new recruitment drive.
01:00Oh! What's going on?
01:02We won! We won!
01:05We won what?
01:06The lottery.
01:08Sanguine 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?
01:30You 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.
01:42My former position was perfect. It's my own fault for taking a leave and going to D.C.
01:47Any idea what Kevin Faust is going to give you?
01:49No, we're talking first thing this morning.
01:51So, what are you going to do today?
01:52I'm going to find out how many naps. There's too many naps.
01:55My plan is to do absolutely nothing.
01:58Oh, you were going to 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?
02:21Shouldn't you be doing the whole last-minute campaigning thing?
02:24Rita wanted him to, but we talked about it, and...
02:26I'm going to 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 going to watch the returns?
02:45No. There'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 going to fire him the second she wins, isn't she?
03:05A hundred percent.
03:06Yeah.
03:07All right. I'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?
03:18Oh. 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. Yeah, sure. We can have it here.
03:32Great. I will start a group chat.
03:34All right. Do 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.
03:52It's reflective of your lived experience, but it's not exactly reflective of the multitude that is the LAPD.
04:01Yeah.
04:02Great. You're in charge of staffing this up.
04:03What? Hold on. No, that's...
04:05I was not trying to...
04:08Fine.
04:10Penn!
04:11Morris!
04:12You're on a special assignment today.
04:13What? Penn's still a rookie?
04:14Exactly. Who better to give insight to a recruit than someone going through training?
04:18Guys, get started. The paperwork's inside.
04:21Hey. How's it going?
04:22Good. Did the brass send you down here to help me with a recruitment drive?
04:25In a consulting capacity. And 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 all done now.
04:46Why? What 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 payout.
04:52But I'm always late with the lieutenant. They know I'm good for it.
04:55Ah!
04:55Oh, God. You are not okay.
04:57Smitty, make yourself useful and get the lieutenant down to St. Stephen's.
04:59No, no. I can drive myself.
05:00No, you can't, but I can call an ambulance.
05:02Or your wife. We can call your wife.
05:03No. No. Definitely not.
05:06Let'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. Come on in.
05:24Thank you for being so understanding. I know I left you in the lurch when I went to D.C.
05:30All 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, and I want
05:39you to train one.
05:40You're giving me a rookie?
05:42I am.
05:43Oakley!
05:45Yes, sir?
05:46This is Bailey Noon. You'll be training with her.
05:48Pleasure to meet you. I'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 afield
05:55as Mumbai.
05:55They published a fascinating study 12 days ago on emergency medicine and high-density populations.
06:00I'm going 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.
06:11Bed 11.
06:12Oh, hell no. I changed my mind. I'm fine. I'm fine.
06:16Oh, what is going on?
06:17He woke up with a stabbing pain in his lower back, and it hurts when he pee.
06:21The Smitty!
06:22What?
06:22I could hear you cursing from outside the station bathroom.
06:25Oh, my God.
06:27Wait. You're that doctor. You're the one.
06:30Smitty!
06:31Get out of here now. Back to the station.
06:33Yes, sir. Good luck.
06:36I'm the doctor that what?
06:38Like you don't know.
06:39I really don't, but you know what? That 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 drain.
07:00No, of course not.
07:01I just called to see where you were assigned.
07:04I got a rookie.
07:05I knew you secretly wanted to be me.
07:08I've never trained anyone before. It'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. But it's gonna cost you.
07:25I should hope so. I gotta go.
07:27All right. Looking forward to you hung up as well.
07:31A buttload of hemostatic gauze as requested.
07:37How can I help?
07:38Uh, wash first. I like things a certain way.
07:42A lot of people put their first handbag on the gurney, but I like it in the outside compartment.
07:47That way I can grab the gurney while you grab the bag. Smart.
07:50You 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 medicine
08:02and 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 when anyone you know won't pass the physical exam or the psych valve.
08:14Got it.
08:15Um, fill out a questionnaire.
08:16Let them know that we follow up with a polygraph and a background check.
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 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?
08:35Defense.
08:36What was the charge?
08:38Befouling 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 every day
08:50and use it for something positive, like curb-stomping violent felons?
08:55Okay.
08:56Try MMA.
08:57Next.
08:59Morning.
09:01Heard about the personnel shortage.
09:03And, uh, well, you guys need cops, and I went back in.
09:07So, 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,
09:27maybe I should have some real-life experience.
09:31Well, you've come to the right place.
09:33Rescue 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.
09:46Okay.
09:50Okay.
10:02Control, this is Rescue 53 on scene
10:05with a distressed male at 12th Avenue.
10:10Thought we'd be doing this over coffee.
10:12What better way to evaluate him
10:13than seeing him in action?
10:15Seeing 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,
10:23grab his head, and keep him stable.
10:24On three.
10:25One, two, three.
10:29He's alive, but unconscious.
10:31Probably from heavy blood loss.
10:38Oh.
10:39Gun shovels.
10:40That explains the heavy blood loss.
10:47Get off me!
10:49Easy, easy.
10:49I'm pushing ketamine.
10:50We're trying to help you.
10:54Just 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.
11:06Levin?
11:07He met the radio.
11:08Please don't hurt us.
11:10Get up, traitor!
11:11He can't answer you.
11:12I gave him a sedative.
11:13Then wake him back up.
11:14That'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
11:26till 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,
11:40and let's get gone.
11:42Meet us back at the office.
11:43Heads up.
11:49Let's go.
11:53Come on, come on, come on, come on.
11:55Get in.
11:56Get in.
12:17You know, the history of Battlefield Madison
12:19is truly fascinating.
12:20Until about 50 years ago,
12:21most major wounds were guaranteed fatal.
12:23Hey, do you want to 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.
12:30Isaac 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,
12:37but that's not going to happen.
12:39Well, this money he stole,
12:40assuming he recently stole it from someone else,
12:42Brink's truck, a bank, what?
12:44You ask a lot of questions, Doc.
12:46Yeah, shut up.
12:47The only answer I care about is,
12:49what exactly is your plan here?
12:51Three steps, wake the traitor 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,
13:07but I did not think he would try again at Mid-Wolshire.
13:09Yeah, well, he thinks he's catching us
13:11at a vulnerable moment.
13:12He's right.
13:13We need cops in the street now,
13:14not in six months after the applicants finish training.
13:16Technically, all he has to do is pass his physical
13:18and 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,
13:25but he's committed to a different path.
13:26You are biased, Penn,
13:28because he saved your life.
13:29Guilty as charged, but
13:33he deserves a second chance.
13:48Okay.
13:50I'm ready.
13:51Whatever you guys need.
13:51The only way I'll even consider
13:53recommending you for reinstatement
13:55is 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
14:08who told me I had kidney stones,
14:10major ones.
14:11I'm sorry.
14:12I heard that pain is excruciating.
14:15Well, while you are being treated,
14:17I am your patient advocate.
14:19So, is there anything
14:21that you would like me to advocate for?
14:23Yes.
14:24I was severely mistreated
14:26by Dr. Ashton.
14:26I want him fired.
14:27Wade.
14:28Hey, you asked.
14:30I will check on you
14:31in a little bit.
14:37Luna.
14:40Can I talk to you?
14:44Did you and your husband
14:45separate because of me?
14:46What?
14:47No.
14:53You were something
14:54of a catalyst.
14:55Um, I'll admit to
14:57enjoying some harmless flirting,
14:59but if I ever gave you
15:01the impression
15:01that I wanted anything more...
15:03You absolutely
15:04gave me that impression.
15:06If I had suggested over dinner
15:07that we check into a hotel,
15:10you wouldn't have said no.
15:12Probably not.
15:13You tell yourself
15:14that it's harmless,
15:15but what it is
15:18is selfish.
15:19It doesn't matter to you
15:20what the fallout could be
15:21because you can just walk away.
15:24Thank God
15:25I came to my senses.
15:31Okay, we're going to start
15:32with some easy questions.
15:34Please restrict your answers
15:35to either a yes or a no.
15:36Is your name
15:37Seth William Ridley?
15:39Yes.
15:39Do you live
15:40at 3200 Blix Street?
15:42Yes.
15:42Are you 25 years old?
15:44Yes.
15:45Okay, now to establish
15:46a proper baseline,
15:46I'm going to ask you
15:47the same questions,
15:48but this time
15:49I want you to lie.
15:50You understand?
15:52All right.
15:53Is your name
15:54Seth William Ridley?
15:55No.
15:56Do you live
15:57at 3200 Blix Street?
15:59No.
16:01Okay, let's start.
16:02Did you ever tell me
16:03that your high school girlfriend
16:05died from a drug overdose?
16:07Yes.
16:08Was that a lie?
16:09Yes.
16:11Were you in love
16:12with Tamar Collins?
16:16Yeah, I wanted to marry her.
16:17A simple yes or no,
16:18Ridley.
16:18Sorry, yes.
16:21Yes.
16:23One year ago,
16:23did you have cancer?
16:26I did not, no.
16:28During that time,
16:29did you ever
16:30believe you were sick?
16:32No.
16:36On the day
16:36of the Kenyan wildfire,
16:37did the National Weather Service
16:38call you
16:39about the fire
16:40spreading across
16:41Eagle Rock Road?
16:42Do we really have...
16:43Answer the question.
16:43Did you receive a call
16:44from the Weather Service?
16:46Yes.
16:47Did you relay that information
16:49to 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
17:01to warn you.
17:01I knew that you were pinned down.
17:03That was my fault.
17:05I'm sorry,
17:06but I...
17:07I was too afraid
17:09to say anything.
17:10No, you lied.
17:11To cover up your mistake
17:12like you always do.
17:16Yes.
17:18No.
17:19No.
17:21Not anymore.
17:22Not anymore.
17:28He's crashing.
17:33His pulse is weak.
17:34He has a pneumothorax.
17:35The pressure is building
17:36in his chest cavity.
17:41Hold him steady
17:42on my puncture's chest.
17:50If you won't take us
17:51to a hospital,
17:52I need to be
17:53someplace 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
17:59for resumes.
18:00We need to stop
18:00the ambulance.
18:03How long do we get
18:04to the office?
18:04We're landing now.
18:12I'll get the boss.
18:15Let's get Isaac
18:16on the table.
18:17Clear it all.
18:27How's he doing?
18:28Not well.
18:28All the fluid I transfused
18:30into him just keeps
18:30coming right back out.
18:31He's running out of time.
18:32How long before your dispatch
18:34realizes you're missing?
18:35A few hours.
18:36Firefighters aren't
18:36as worried about
18:37random violence as cause.
18:38Perhaps it's time
18:38to revisit that policy.
18:41I'm dying to know
18:42why you brought
18:42these randos
18:43to the office
18:44and not my money.
18:45Isaac took the cash
18:46and ran.
18:46We only caught up to him
18:47after he hit it.
18:48He started shooting.
18:49And you shot back
18:50before you got my money.
18:51Well, Alan's
18:51got a little excited.
18:52Hey, we all emptied a cliff.
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,
19:05epinephrine,
19:06would kill him.
19:09Oh, no!
19:11I'm only gonna say this once.
19:13You got ten minutes
19:14to wake him up
19:15so I can find my money
19:16or I shoot this man next.
19:24Don't.
19:24No.
19:24I have to help him
19:26or he's gonna die.
19:26That's why I shot him.
19:28Get him talking.
19:29Now.
19:32Whoa, whoa, whoa.
19:34Wait.
19:34Let 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,
19:44not paramedics.
19:47Okay, how about this?
19:48You let her resurrect Isaac
19:50and you let me treat Jace.
19:52Is that okay?
19:55Fine.
19:55You go watch him.
19:56If he tries to be a hero,
19:57cap them both.
19:59Hey.
19:59Hey, I got you.
20:01You all right?
20:02You know, not really.
20:03Okay.
20:04Oh, God, that's a lot of blood.
20:05Yeah.
20:06I'm gonna need
20:07some hemostatic gauze on there.
20:08Right.
20:08Clearly,
20:09we're gonna need to work together,
20:10so slow breaths, okay?
20:11All right.
20:11You're gonna apply
20:12some serious pressure on there?
20:13I might make some noise.
20:14Right.
20:15Ready?
20:18Okay.
20:19I'm gonna 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,
20:31we are screwed, man.
20:32If he's bleeding out,
20:33give 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, no, 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 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
21:18the first ten times
21:19I listened to it,
21:19but it's a lot of pressure,
21:22you know?
21:23Imagine how Mona Lisa felt
21:24when Da Vinci painted her.
21:26I mean, everyone constantly
21:27judging whether she was worthy
21:29of being memorialized like that.
21:31Wow, yeah, I never thought
21:32about it like that.
21:34Thank you for comparing me
21:35to Da Vinci.
21:36That's an ego boost for sure.
21:38Okay, I can change it up.
21:39I can add a line
21:40about your morning breath
21:40or how you kick me
21:42in your sleep.
21:42Okay, I do not.
21:43Do I?
21:44Hey.
21:44Hi.
21:45I'm here to sign up
21:46for a cop job.
21:48You are in the right place.
21:51What drew you
21:52to the law enforcement?
21:53My boyfriend's a cop
21:54and we don't get
21:54to spend much time together,
21:55so I thought this way
21:57we could see each other
21:58every day.
21:58Oh, well, that's amazing.
21:59You probably know him,
22:00Franklin Rose.
22:02Franklin Rose?
22:04Doesn't ring a bell,
22:05but you've been here
22:06longer than me, so...
22:07Well, I don't know him,
22:08but I mean,
22:08it's a big building.
22:09I'll show you a picture.
22:17Is this recent?
22:18Yeah, I took it of him
22:18last week before
22:19you went to work.
22:20Do you mind
22:20if I take a picture?
22:21Great.
22:22This will help me find him.
22:24You know, here's
22:25an application.
22:26Why don't you fill it out
22:27over there
22:28while I track him down?
22:29Okay, thanks.
22:30Yeah?
22:34What's wrong?
22:35The badge is all wrong.
22:37Yeah, this thing
22:37is from the 1970s.
22:38Maybe he was just
22:39trying to impress his girlfriend.
22:41By committing a felony?
22:42You know, I have
22:43heard rumors
22:44about low-level dealers
22:45getting ripped off
22:46by cops
22:46who confiscate their drugs
22:48and let them off
22:49with a warning.
22:50Classic dope rip.
22:51All right,
22:52I'm gonna need
22:52to talk to her.
22:53Not a problem.
22:53She's still outside.
22:54We'll go get her.
22:59Hey, did you get everything?
23:01Boy, did I.
23:03You really think
23:03he's gonna appreciate
23:04us paying your
23:05demotion party forward?
23:06If not,
23:07we will get him
23:07drunk enough
23:08that he forgets
23:09it 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?
23:18Why?
23:19Oh, just, um,
23:22I was watching
23:23a news story
23:24about the election.
23:25What's up?
23:26Do you remember,
23:27like, a thousand years ago
23:28when this all started,
23:28we talked about
23:29doing an announcement speech
23:30to lay out
23:31my full progressive agenda?
23:32Yeah,
23:33before you chickened out.
23:34Well, if I'm gonna
23:35concede this election,
23:36I want to go out swinging.
23:37I want everyone
23:38to know exactly
23:39what I believe.
23:40Can you give me an assist?
23:41My speechwriter quit.
23:42Sure.
23:43Yeah, I sure can.
23:44You know,
23:45how about you follow me
23:45into my office,
23:46stepping over here?
23:47Yeah.
23:47What kind of things
23:48were you thinking
23:48about the change?
23:49I really like what we did
23:50the first time around.
23:51I just didn't get to nail it.
23:52Oh, right.
23:54So, what's the verdict?
23:56Well, according to the polygraph,
23:57you told the truth
23:58about everything.
23:58Which was unexpected
23:59and proves that you've
24:00made a real effort
24:01to change.
24:02Okay, great.
24:05No?
24:05It's no.
24:07Look, the fact that you
24:08knowingly let us
24:09drive into danger,
24:10failed to do anything
24:10about it,
24:11and then lied
24:12to protect yourself
24:13is unforgivable
24:14to the department.
24:15Even though I
24:16sacrificed myself
24:17to save Nolan's life?
24:19What about that?
24:19Does my loss
24:21count for anything?
24:22Honestly,
24:23it's not enough.
24:24Even if you were
24:24to reapply to the FTO program,
24:26I would have to share
24:27those test results
24:28with Internal Affairs.
24:29Wait.
24:31So,
24:31this whole thing's
24:33a setup?
24:33A catch-22?
24:34I lie about the fire
24:36and I fail the test.
24:37I tell the truth
24:38and then you're
24:38going to use it
24:39against me.
24:40I thought you were
24:40giving me a fair shot here.
24:41Look, I'm sorry.
24:42I can see that you
24:43are genuinely trying
24:44to be a better person,
24:45but there is no
24:46coming 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
25:02could not have been easy
25:03given what I put you through.
25:05Ah, man,
25:06I thought it would be
25:06enough for me
25:07to 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
25:17understand that there
25:18are simply things
25:19I just don't get
25:20to have anymore.
25:22There are doors
25:23that I close
25:23that I'm never
25:27going to 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
25:41took responsibility
25:42for your actions.
25:43And in my book,
25:45that counts for something.
25:56Bad news.
25:57There's no cop
25:57in 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
26:10on 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.
26:33Keep pumping.
26:34It needs to flow
26:34or it'll coagulate.
26:36Damn, bro.
26:37The human body
26:38is so cool.
26:40He's stabilizing.
26:41Uh, you might want
26:42to take a look at this.
26:43I think it's
26:43femoral hyperglob
26:44asyst exfoliating.
26:48As soon as they find out
26:49where the money is,
26:50they're going to kill us.
26:51We need a way out.
26:52We're the forgotten man.
26:53right now.
26:54So if you see a move
26:55to make do it,
26:55I'll jump in.
26:58Are you sleeping, beauty?
27:00Where am I?
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.
27:07Okay, I'll tell you.
27:09I'll tell you.
27:10I hit it.
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 tourniquet.
27:31Whoa, whoa, no!
27:33No!
27:39You tell me we're all
27:40taking a foot!
27:42Hey, what's that mean?
27:43His heart sucked.
27:45Get him back!
27:46Now!
27:46You yell at us
27:47for shooting him
27:48and then you've
27:48chopped 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,
27:54while we're the ones
27:55sticking our knee.
27:55We can back.
27:56No, we're out of time.
27:58Hey, stop arguing.
27:59Get over your health care.
28:00With what?
28:00To fix your boss's mistake,
28:02I need you to pinch off
28:03this artery
28:04so I can get a shot
28:04of adrenaline.
28:05Do it!
28:10Hey!
28:13Down, honey.
28:14He's a cop!
28:16Whoa!
28:18See ya!
28:21Oh!
28:26Oh!
28:31Did we win?
28:33Yes, we did.
28:34Because of you.
28:35911, what's your emergency?
28:36This is Officer John Nolan.
28:38Any three units
28:38in an ambulance,
28:39code three,
28:39multiple assailants,
28:40and one critically wounded
28:41to 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, I'm 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.
29:16Think you can intimidate me
29:17with your little setup 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
30:12to remain silent.
30:13Anything you say can
30:14and will be used
30:14against 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
30:20for you.
30:21Do you understand?
30:28Yeah.
30:30Yeah, I understand.
30:32My entire career,
30:33I never once
30:34crossed the line.
30:35I was as straight
30:36and arrow as you could be.
30:39But my personal life
30:41was a bit, uh,
30:43more chaotic.
30:44Three wives,
30:45six kids.
30:46Seven.
30:46Oof.
30:47Got expensive.
30:48Got ridiculous.
30:49Credit cards
30:50were 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.
31:07I 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
31:21than the wrong I did now.
31:27Let's go.
31:29Come on.
31:42That's Rick, Glenn.
31:50Hi.
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, sure would.
32:01But listen, baby,
32:02you haven't actually
32:02gone inside
32:03and talked to anybody,
32:03have you?
32:04No.
32:04I waited like you
32:05asked me to.
32:06Great.
32:06Oh, that was 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?
32:12No.
32:12No.
32:13Help!
32:13Hey, hey, hey!
32:14Show me your hands!
32:16Turn around and walk
32:17to the glass now.
32:17All right.
32:18Turn around.
32:18All right.
32:20Franklin Ruse,
32:21you're under arrest
32:22of felony robbery.
32:23Guys, just let me
32:24call my boss.
32:25No need, my man.
32:26Captain Jennings
32:27is already in holding.
32:29Let's move.
32:33Kitty.
32:34Kitty?
32:34Are you serious?
32:37I really got
32:38a golden gut, huh?
32:39I wouldn't know
32:40a decent guy
32:41if he came up to me
32:42and said...
32:42Hey.
32:44You weren't kidding
32:45when you said
32:45you had to go do a thing
32:46before we could drown
32:47my 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
32:57a big city vibe going on
32:59in a good way.
33:00Uh, 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.
33:24Detectives 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.
33:31All that explains
33:32why they were
33:33so desperate to find it.
33:34And why Isaac
33:35was so determined
33:35not to tell them.
33:36He took that secret
33:37to the grave.
33:38Which means that money
33:38is still out there.
33:39Hmm.
33:40Treasure hunt later?
33:42Well, we just have
33:43to give it back.
33:45Right.
33:45That's less 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
33:56considered,
33:57there is none.
33:58The surgery
33:58was straightforward.
33:59The bullet missed
34:00all your major organs.
34:02Thank God.
34:03But this leaves us
34:04with the outstanding
34:05question.
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.
34:12All day.
34:13Definitely a thinker
34:14and not a doer.
34:16Well, personally,
34:17I think you would have
34:18made an excellent
34:19paramedic.
34:20You have more brainpower
34:21than this entire hospital
34:22and just the right
34:24amount of bravery.
34:25That means a lot
34:26coming from the legend
34:27that is Bailey Noon
34:29and her husband
34:30is pretty cool, too.
34:31I told you.
34:32I'll keep it.
34:33You know,
34:34this reminds me
34:35of a fun allegory
34:36from Plato.
34:37It's much more compelling
34:38in the original
34:39ancient view.
34:39Shh, I think
34:40you shouldn't rest.
34:41I'm fine.
34:42I'll just catch a Uber.
34:44You will not.
34:45I will drive you
34:46to your hotel.
34:48Plus, you promised me
34:49that we would have
34:50the chance to really talk,
34:51so I am going
34:52to take 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,
35:22but I understand
35:25what you mean.
35:26I also understand now
35:29that this was more
35:30than just a new job
35:32for 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
35:47of things.
35:47I want us to be
35:48healthy 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.
35:57If you want to be happy.
35:58Yes.
35:59I think that's exactly
36:01where we should go.
36:04Look, how about
36:05if I take you home?
36:09You can sleep
36:10in the guest room
36:11if you want,
36:13but we can keep talking.
36:19Okay.
36:21I'd like that.
36:25You're not getting
36:26out of the way.
36:26Just be in your crutch.
36:27I'm just saying.
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
36:47lottery 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 out
36:55of suing by buying me
36:56barbecues and 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
37:04on eBay for a buttload.
37:05Okay.
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.
37:16That thing.
37:16The 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, Mrs. 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
37:39as 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.
37:46Was it
37:47Nolan and Bailey's place?
37:50You told.
37:52He saw all the decorations.
37:54What,
37:54did you want me to lie?
37:55Yes.
37:55It's fine.
37:56I can think of
37:57no 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 a 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-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
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
38:56Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
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
39:15play your speech.
39:16You want to turn on the news?
39:18No.
39:19No, I think that's
39:20in 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
39:32how 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
39:37without having that power
39:38it's a losing battle
39:39So I think
39:40I'm gonna go back
39:42to being a defense lawyer
39:45Very figured
39:46but 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
39:52whose opinion I care about
39:54Oh?
39:55Yeah
39:55I'm all for it
39:57Our sex life was unreal
39:59and we're on opposite sides
40:00Yes, it was
40:01Oh
40:02Okay
40:03Hmm
40:04Okay
40:05Okay
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
40:14Selena rhymes with zebra and subpoena
40:16Does it though?
40:17Close enough for art
40:18Look
40:19I'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
40:26That does not objectively make you that
40:28Okay
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 amazing people on the daily
40:38I mean, seriously
40:40Take a look at that group of badass overachievers
40:42Every 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 at this time
40:56All the speech
40:59Everyone, if you'd gather around
41:01It is official
41:02Sadly, Wesley will not be the new district attorney
41:07That's okay
41:08But Wesley, clearly everybody in this room
41:10is 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
41:27Thank you
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
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
41:55Let's eat
41:55Please
41:56We'll be late
41:57And we 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'll be right back to the end of the day
42:45Damn it.
