00:00You live inside my heart, brown eyes in the line of fire.
00:08I get worried when you're gone too long.
00:13Sorry, did you say something?
00:15No, you just were making a face.
00:18Everything all right?
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 it'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 young, Penn. There's plenty of time to find true happiness.
00:39Yeah, or learn to love being alone.
00:42All right, 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,
00:53and we launched this new recruitment drive.
00:59Oh!
01:01What's going on?
01:02We won!
01:03We won!
01:04We won!
01:05Won what?
01:06The lottery.
01:08Shangri-La has been playing every week for 12 years.
01:13We're rich, bitch!
01:14Smitty, out.
01:19When did you say this recruitment drive was?
01:22I'm gonna win for you like I know you want me to do.
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, and it's my own fault for taking a leave and going to D.C.
01:47Any idea what Kevin Foster's gonna give you?
01:48No, we're talking first thing this morning.
01:51So what are you gonna do today?
01:52I'm gonna find out how many naps. There's too many naps.
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.
02:04Though I know it's not my hair in there.
02:07What was that?
02:07I 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 gonna lose. Badly.
02:28Rita gave us the latest poll numbers and then quit.
02:30So rather than waste another minute on a failed campaign that neither one of us enjoyed for a second,
02:34we are first day of the rest of our lives in here.
02:37Okay.
02:37Well, I can't complain about having my bestie back on the job.
02:40Hey, why don't we do dinner tonight? Just the four of us.
02:43You're not gonna watch the returns?
02:44No. 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.
03:01Vivian is gonna fire him the second she wins, isn't she?
03:04A hundred percent.
03:06Yeah.
03:07Alright, I'll be right in.
03:09Alright.
03:14Sup?
03:14Hey, um, how would you feel about having a small gathering at your house tonight?
03:18Oh. 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 they'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.
03:34Alright. Do you need me to end you hung up?
03:38Here's what I love. The clear amount of industry and effort that you've put in.
03:43But?
03:45But it is a little, you know, narrowly focused. Join the LAPD. Be a badass hero. Protect the innocent.
03:53It's reflective of your lived experience, but it's not exactly reflective of the multitude that is the LAPD.
04:01Yeah. Great. You're in charge of staffing this up.
04:03What? Hold on. No, that's... I was not trying to...
04:06Hmm?
04:08Fine.
04:10Penn!
04:10Juarez!
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. 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.
04:31Ha!
04:32Oh, 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.
04:51But 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.
05:05Let's go, Smitty.
05:08I do not want to hear about your lottery situation.
05:11No problem.
05:12But I do have a teletherapy appointment starting at 5, so...
05:16You might overhear a bit.
05:21Good morning.
05:22Oh, good morning. Come on in.
05:24Thank you for being so understanding.
05:27I know I left you in the lurch when I went to D.C.
05:29All good.
05:30So, what do you have in store for me?
05:33Well, obviously, your old job is gone.
05:35But 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. You'll be training with her.
05:48Pleasure to meet you. I meet you to get started.
05:50I've read everything there is to read on triage medicine.
05:53Not just in the U.S., but as far afield as Mumbai.
05:55They published a fascinating study 12 days ago on emergency medicine and high-density populations.
06:00I gotta send you a link.
06:01Do you read Hindi, by any chance? Or do you need the English translation?
06:06Good luck.
06:08Officer in Agony here.
06:11Bat 11.
06:12Oh, hell no. I changed my mind. I'm fine. I'm fine.
06:15Oh, what is going on?
06:17He woke up with a stabbing pain in his lower back and hoed 20 feet.
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! Get out of here now.
06:31Back to the station.
06:33Yes, sir. Good luck.
06:36I'm the doctor that what?
06:38You 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.
06:49You 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.
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. 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, watch first. I 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. Smart.
07:49Mm.
07:51You know, in early agrarian societies they used to-
07:52Why don't you 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 with anyone you know won't pass the physical exam or the psych valve.
08:14Got it.
08:15Um, fill out a questionnaire, let them know that we follow up with a polygraph and a background 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. Does that count?
08:35Defense?
08:36What was the charge?
08:37Befouling the punch bowl at a company picnic.
08:41And felony murder.
08:43And 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?
08:52Like curb-stomping violent felons.
08:55Okay, try MMA.
08:57Next.
08:59Morning.
09:01Heard about the personnel shortage.
09:03And, uh, well, you guys need cops and I want back in.
09:07So, how can we make this happen?
09:13Where did you go to school?
09:14Johns Hopkins for my masters in neuroscience.
09:16Well, actually it was a double masters in that and philosophy.
09:20Okay.
09:21Well, when we, uh...
09:22I had a PhD in molecular biology at UCLA.
09:24And then I spent a year at Oxford doing medical research.
09:26And that was around the time I started to think,
09:28maybe I should have some real life experience.
09:31Well, you've come to the right place.
09:33Okay.
09:34Rescue 53, respond to 31488 12th Avenue.
09:37Manage of stress, unknown description, unknown injuries.
09:40And there's no better time to start.
09:42Control, this is Rescue 53.
09:44Show us responding.
10:02Control, this is Rescue 53.
10:04On scene for the distressed male at 12th Avenue.
10:10Thought we'd be doing this over coffee.
10:12What better way to evaluate him than seeing him in action?
10:14See you in action.
10:16Exactly.
10:16Jace, 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.
10:31Probably from heavy blood loss.
10:38Oh.
10:39Gunshot wounds.
10:40That explains the heavy blood loss.
10:49I'm pushing ketamine.
10:50We're trying to help you.
10:54Just get him to St. Stephen's.
10:55All right, I'll mobilize LAPD.
10:57Radio's in the car.
11:04Get away from him.
11:06Weapon?
11:07Get with the radio.
11:08Please don't hurt us.
11:09Get up, traitor.
11:10He can't answer you.
11:12I gave him a sedative.
11:13Then wake him back up.
11:14At that stage.
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 till we get what we need.
11:27I'm on it.
11:32Whoa, whoa, whoa, hey.
11:32Back up. They got it.
11:34What do you wanna do with this guy?
11:35I-I need him.
11:36I'm just a paramedic.
11:37He's a doctor.
11:40All right, search him and let's get gone.
11:41Meet us back at the office.
11:43Heads up.
11:49Let's go.
11:52Come on, come on, come on.
11:55Get in.
12:18You know, the history of Battlefield Madison is truly fascinating.
12:21Until about 50 years ago, most major wounds were guaranteed fatal.
12:23Hey, do you wanna die?
12:24No, not particularly.
12:25Then shut up and drive.
12:28What did this guy do to you anyway?
12:29He stole our money.
12:30Now, Isaac here was in charge of keeping it safe.
12:33We were supposed to meet and divvy it up.
12:35Now he's stashed it somewhere.
12:37Trying to keep it all for himself, but that's not gonna happen.
12:40Well, this money he stole, assuming he recently stole it from someone else.
12:43Brink's truck?
12:44A bank?
12:45What?
12:45You ask a lot of questions, dog.
12:47Yeah.
12:47Shut up.
12:48The only answer I care about is, what exactly is your plan here?
12:51Three steps.
12:52Wake the traitor up.
12:54Get him to tell us where the money is.
12:55Kill him.
12:56This man is barely stable.
12:58What happens if the third step comes first?
13:00Then you're dying in this ambulance along with him.
13:06I knew Seth still had dreams of being a cop, but I did not think he would try again at
13:10me to Wilshire.
13:10Yeah, well, he thinks he's catching us at a vulnerable moment.
13:13He's right.
13:13We need cops in the street now.
13:15Not in six months after the applicant's finished training.
13:17Technically, all he has to do is pass his physical and he's back in uniform.
13:20The physical is not my concern.
13:22It is everything else.
13:23Listen, Seth has changed.
13:25I know it's hard to believe, but he's committed to a different path.
13:27You are biased, Penn, because he saved your life.
13:30Guilty as charged, but he deserves a second chance.
13:49Okay.
13:51I'm ready.
13:51Whatever you guys need.
13:52The only way I'll even consider recommending you for reinstatement is if you pass a polygraph.
14:01Okay.
14:03Let's do it.
14:04Why are you refusing treatment?
14:06I'm not.
14:08I just saw a doctor.
14:09He told me I had kidney stones.
14:11Major ones.
14:12I'm sorry.
14:13I heard that pain is excruciating.
14:16Well, while you are being treated, I am your patient advocate.
14:20So, is there anything that you would like me to advocate for?
14:24Yes.
14:25I was severely mistreated by Dr. Ashton.
14:27I want him fired.
14:28Wade.
14:29Hey, you asked.
14:31I will check on you in a little bit.
14:35What's wrong?
14:37Luna.
14:41Can I talk to you?
14:44Did you and your husband separate because of me?
14:47What?
14:48No.
14:54You were something of a catalyst.
14:56Um, I'll admit to enjoying some harmless flirting, but if I ever gave you the impression
15:02that I wanted anything more...
15:04You absolutely gave me that impression.
15:07If I had suggested over dinner that we check into a hotel, you wouldn't have said no.
15:13Probably not.
15:14You tell yourself that it's harmless, but what it is is selfish.
15:20It doesn't matter to you what the fallout could be, because you can just walk away.
15:25Thank God I came to my senses.
15:32Okay, we're going to start with some easy questions.
15:34Please restrict your answers to either a yes or a no.
15:37Is your name Seth William Ridley?
15:39Yes.
15:40Do you live at 3200 Blix Street?
15:42Yes.
15:43Are you 25 years old?
15:45Yes.
15:45Okay.
15:46Now to establish a proper baseline, I'm going to ask you the same questions, but this time
15:49I want you to lie.
15:51You understand?
15:53All right.
15:54Is your name Seth William Ridley?
15:56No.
15:57Do you live at 3200 Blix Street?
15:59No.
16:01Okay.
16:02Let's start.
16:03Did you ever tell me that your high school girlfriend died from a drug overdose?
16:08Yes.
16:08Was that a lie?
16:09Yes.
16:12Were you in love with Tamar Collins?
16:16Yeah, I wanted to marry her.
16:17A simple yes or no, Ridley?
16:19Sorry, yes.
16:22Yes.
16:23One year ago, did you have cancer?
16:27I did not, no.
16:29During that time, did you ever believe you were sick?
16:33No.
16:36On the day of the canyon wildfire, did the National Weather Service call you about the fire spreading
16:42across Eagle Rock Road?
16:43Do we really have-
16:44Answer the question.
16:44Did you receive a call from the Weather Service?
16:47Yes.
16:48Did you relay that information to the officers in the field?
16:52He means us.
16:53Did you try to tell us?
16:55No.
16:56On purpose?
16:57No.
16:59I got distracted.
17:00And it was too late to warn you.
17:02I knew that you were pinned down.
17:04That was my fault.
17:06I'm sorry.
17:07But I-
17:08I was too afraid to say anything.
17:10No, you lied.
17:12To cover up your mistake like you always do.
17:17Yes.
17:19No.
17:21Not anymore.
17:23Not anymore.
17:29He's crashing.
17:34His pulse is weak.
17:35He has a pneumothorax.
17:36The pressure is building in his chest cavity.
17:42Hold him steady on my puncture's chest.
17:51If you won't take us to a hospital, I need to be someplace not moving.
17:55You need to listen to her.
17:56Orange is a doctor.
17:57Why is she doing everything?
17:58I'm a radiologist.
17:59We don't have time for resumes.
18:01We need to stop the ambulance.
18:04How long do we get to the office?
18:05We're landing now.
18:09Come on, come on.
18:13I'll get the boss.
18:16Let's get Isaac on the table.
18:17Clear it off.
18:28How's he doing?
18:29Not well.
18:29All the fluid I transfused into him just keeps coming right back out.
18:32He's running out of time.
18:33How long before your dispatch realizes you're missing?
18:35After a few hours, firefighters aren't as worried about random violence as caused.
18:39Perhaps it's time to revisit that policy.
18:42I'm dying to know why you brought these randos to the office and not my money.
18:46Isaac took the cash and ran.
18:47We only caught up to him after he hit it.
18:49He started shooting.
18:50You shot back before you got my money.
18:52Alan's got a little excited.
18:53Hey, we all emptied a cliff.
18:55I told you to call...
18:56Shut up!
18:58You're making my head hurt.
18:59How bad's our boy?
19:00Critical.
19:01He needs a hospital.
19:02Not happening.
19:03Wake him up.
19:03Give him the Pulp Fiction shot.
19:05Right in the heart.
19:06That shot, epinephrine, would kill him.
19:10No!
19:12I'm only gonna say this once.
19:14You got ten minutes to wake him up so I can find my money or I shoot this man next.
19:26I have to help him or he's gonna die.
19:28That's why I shot him.
19:30Get him talking.
19:31Now.
19:35Let me triage my rookie or I cut your guy's carotid and you'll never find your money.
19:41Check out born identity, Barbie.
19:44What about the Hippocratic Oath?
19:45That's for doctors, not paramedics.
19:48Okay.
19:49How about this?
19:50You let her resurrect Isaac and you let me treat Jace.
19:53Is that okay?
19:56Fine.
19:57You go watch him.
19:58If he tries to be a hero, cap them both.
20:01Hey.
20:01Hey.
20:02I got you.
20:03You all right?
20:04You know, not really.
20:05Okay.
20:06Oh God, that's a lot of blood.
20:07Yeah.
20:08I'm gonna need some hemostatic gauze on there.
20:10Clearly we're gonna need to work together, so slow breaths, okay?
20:13You're gonna apply some serious pressure on there.
20:15I might make some noise.
20:16Right.
20:17Ready?
20:20Okay.
20:21I'm gonna pass out now.
20:23Right.
20:23Boom.
20:25Hey, hey, forget about the bleeding.
20:27Boss said wake him up.
20:28He's in hypovolemic shock.
20:29His blood pressure has cratered.
20:31He's about to die.
20:32If he dies, we are screwed, man.
20:34If he's bleeding out, give him more blood.
20:35I don't have any, so unless one of you is O negative,
20:38the universal blood donor, we're out of luck.
20:40Yeah, no, no, that's me.
20:41I needed a transfusion after I took one in the leg
20:43on the Long Beach job, because they told me I was O negative.
20:46Perfect.
20:46Roll up your sleeve.
20:51Hi.
20:51Hi.
20:52I'm here to join the LAPD.
20:54What?
20:54Are you serious?
20:55Oh, God, no.
20:56I'd make a terrible cop.
20:57Aw.
20:57I came by to say hi and to see if you'd had time
21:01to listen to the song.
21:03I did.
21:04I did.
21:05Oh, I'm gonna go grab a soda.
21:07You want anything?
21:08No, I'm good.
21:09I'll take a chocolate milk.
21:16You didn't like it.
21:17Are you kidding?
21:18It made me cry the first 10 times I listened to it,
21:21but it's a lot of pressure, you know?
21:24Imagine how Mona Lisa felt when Da Vinci painted her.
21:28I mean, everyone constantly judging whether she was worthy
21:31of being memorialized like that.
21:33Wow, yeah, I never thought about it like that.
21:36Thank you for comparing me to Da Vinci.
21:38That's an ego boost for sure.
21:40Okay, I can change it up.
21:41I can add a line about your morning breath
21:42or how you kick me in your sleep.
21:44Okay, I do not.
21:45Do I?
21:46No.
21:46Hi.
21:47I'm here to sign up for a cop job.
21:50You are in the right place.
21:53What drew you to law enforcement?
21:54My boyfriend's a cop,
21:55and we don't get to spend much time together,
21:57so I thought this way we could see each other every day.
22:00Oh, well, that's amazing.
22:01You probably know him.
22:02Franklin Rose.
22:04Franklin Rose?
22:06Doesn't ring a bell,
22:07but you've been here longer than me, so...
22:09Well, I don't know him,
22:10but I mean, it's a big building.
22:11I'll show you a picture.
22:14Eh.
22:18Is this recent?
22:19Yeah.
22:20I took it of him last week before he went to work.
22:22Do you mind if I take a picture?
22:23Great.
22:24This will help me find him.
22:26You know, here's an application.
22:28Why don't you fill it out over there
22:30while I track him down?
22:31Okay, thanks.
22:32Yeah.
22:35What's wrong?
22:37The badge is all wrong.
22:38Yeah, this thing is from the 1970s.
22:40Maybe he was just trying to impress his girlfriend.
22:42By committing a felony?
22:44You know, I have heard rumors
22:46about low-level dealers getting ripped off
22:48by cops who confiscate their drugs
22:50and let them off with a warning.
22:52Classic dope rip.
22:53All right, I'm gonna need to talk to her.
22:55Not a problem. She's still outside. We'll go get her.
23:01Hey. Did you get everything?
23:03Boy, did I.
23:04You really think he's gonna appreciate us
23:06paying your demotion party forward?
23:08If not, we will get him drunk enough
23:10that he forgets it ever happened.
23:12All right, I gotta go. I love you.
23:13Love you, too.
23:17Hey.
23:17Hey.
23:17This must be burning.
23:19Oh, yeah? Why?
23:21Oh, well, uh, just, um...
23:24I was watching a news story about the, uh, election.
23:27W-What's up?
23:28Do you remember, like, a thousand years ago
23:29when this all started,
23:30we talked about doing an announcement speech
23:32to lay out my full progressive agenda?
23:34Yeah, before you chickened out.
23:36Well, if I'm gonna concede this election,
23:38I want to go out swinging.
23:39I want everyone to know exactly what I believe.
23:42Can you give me an assist?
23:43My speechwriter quit.
23:44Sure. Yeah, I-I-I sure can.
23:46You know, how about you follow me into my office,
23:48stepping over here?
23:49Yeah.
23:49What kind of things were you thinking about changing?
23:51I-I-I really like what we did the first time around.
23:53I just didn't get to nail it, you know?
23:54Oh, right.
23:58So, what's the verdict?
23:59Well, according to the polygraph,
24:00you told the truth about everything.
24:01Which was unexpected,
24:02and proves that you've made a real effort to change.
24:05Okay, great.
24:08No. It's... no.
24:10Look, the fact that you knowingly let us drive into danger,
24:13failed to do anything about it,
24:14and then lied to protect yourself
24:16is unforgivable to the department.
24:18Even though I...
24:20sacrificed myself to save Nolan's life?
24:22What about that?
24:23Does my loss count for anything?
24:25Honestly?
24:26It's not enough.
24:27Even if you were to reapply to the FTO program,
24:29I would have to share those test results with Internal Affairs.
24:33Wait...
24:34So...
24:35This-this whole thing's a setup?
24:37I catch 22, I lie about the fire,
24:39and I fail the test,
24:40I tell the truth,
24:41and then you're gonna use it against me.
24:43I thought you were giving me a fair shot here.
24:44Look, I'm sorry.
24:45I can see that you are genuinely trying to be a better person,
24:49but there is no coming back from what you did.
24:51Not here.
24:57Okay, I understand.
25:00Thank you for giving me the opportunity to tell the truth.
25:04I know that could not have been easy,
25:06given what I put you through.
25:08Ah, man, I thought it would be enough for me to come in here
25:10and to say I'm sorry and to do the work
25:14and not be that guy anymore, but...
25:19I guess I finally understand that there are simply things
25:23I just don't get to have anymore.
25:25There are doors that I close that...
25:29that I'm never gonna reopen.
25:33Appreciate everything you taught me.
25:34I really do.
25:40Good luck, Ridley.
25:42You walk out of here knowing
25:44you finally took responsibility for your actions.
25:47And in my book,
25:48that counts for something.
25:59Bad news.
26:00There's no cop in the LAPD with your boyfriend's name.
26:02Check again.
26:03He's closed massive cases.
26:05The mayor gave him an award.
26:08I'm so sorry, but none of that is true.
26:10Well, if he's lying, why is his boss on your wall?
26:19You sure that's him?
26:20Yeah.
26:21Captain Jennings.
26:22Okay.
26:23Well, that is problematic in a whole different way.
26:26Howard Jennings doesn't work here either.
26:28He retired eight years ago.
26:36Keep pumping.
26:37It needs to flow or it'll coagulate.
26:39Damn, bro.
26:40The human body is so cool.
26:43He's stabilizing.
26:44You might want to take a look at this.
26:46I think it's femoral hyperglobocyst exfoliating.
26:52As soon as they find out where the money is,
26:53they're gonna kill us.
26:54We need a way out.
26:55Well, you're the forgotten man right now.
26:57So if you see a move to make do it, not jump in.
27:01Are you sleeping, beauty?
27:03I am.
27:04You're in hell, bitch.
27:06Where's my money?
27:08Screw you.
27:09Come on, Isaac.
27:09You can't take it with you.
27:11Okay, I'll tell you.
27:11Come here.
27:12Come back.
27:13I hate it.
27:14Come here.
27:17Just give him a second.
27:18He's still coming out of sedition.
27:20Yeah, he's never gonna tell us.
27:21He's just gonna screw us and then die.
27:23I hope it hurts, man.
27:25I hope you're in so much pain.
27:27You're praying for the sweet mercy of death
27:29because it's coming.
27:30I don't feel good.
27:31Can you unhook me?
27:33Hey, lady, you might want to tighten that turn again.
27:35Whoa, whoa, whoa.
27:35No!
27:36No!
27:40No!
27:42You tell me or I'll take a foot!
27:45Hey, what's that mean?
27:46His heart sucked.
27:48Get him back!
27:49Now!
27:50You yell at us for shooting him, then you chop his arm off?
27:52What the hell's wrong with you?
27:53I'm getting my money.
27:54I spent six months planning this job.
27:56Yeah, from the safety of this office,
27:57while we're the ones sticking our knees.
27:59Can you bring him back?
27:59No.
28:00We're out of time.
28:01Hey, stop arguing.
28:02Get over here and help me.
28:03With what?
28:04To fix your boss's mistake.
28:05I need you to pinch off this artery
28:07so I get a shot of adrenaline.
28:08Do it!
28:14Hey!
28:16Down, honey.
28:17He's a cop!
28:18Hey!
28:19Whoa!
28:21Damn!
28:34Did we win?
28:36Yes, we did.
28:37Because of you.
28:38911, what's your emergency?
28:39This is Officer John Nolan.
28:41I need three units in an ambulance.
28:42Code three.
28:43Multiple sale and send.
28:44One critically wounded paramedic.
28:46Great job, honey.
28:50I appreciate you coming in at such short notice, Captain.
28:53Are you kidding me?
28:54The Margaret Hoffman case is the one I can never forget.
28:57If you've got a fresh lead,
28:58I'll move heaven and earth to help you bring her killer to justice.
29:02We've got old files laid out in here.
29:05Let's do it.
29:08Captain, I am Detective Nyla Harper.
29:10This is Detective Angela Lopez.
29:12This isn't about Margaret Hoffman.
29:14No, sir.
29:15I'll leave you to it.
29:20Think you can intimidate me with your little, uh, setup here?
29:23No, sir.
29:24You're a legendary tough guy.
29:25Who inspired loyalty in his men and fear in his enemies.
29:29Who the hell are you to mock me?
29:31Your worst nightmare.
29:33That's the first thing that springs to mind, but I don't know.
29:35It sounds a little cringy when I say it out loud, huh?
29:38We'll workshop it later.
29:39Okay.
29:39Right now, we're dying to know what happened to you.
29:42Why cross over to the dark side?
29:44I have no idea what you're talking about, and I'm leaving.
29:46I guess we'll just have to get our answers from Franklin Rose.
29:49Or the other two felons that you recruited.
29:51Marcus Kennedy and Jeremiah Gomez.
29:56And what crimes do you think these men have been doing?
29:59Well, robbing drug dealers so you can sell the product yourself.
30:03And before you protest that you've never heard of them, we have Jeremiah and Marcus in custody.
30:08And they dropped your name the second the cuffs came out.
30:11It's over, sir.
30:13We will be placing you under arrest.
30:15You have the right to remain silent.
30:17Anything you say can and will be used against you in a court of law.
30:20You have the right to an attorney.
30:22If you cannot afford an attorney, one will be provided for you.
30:25Do you understand?
30:32Yeah.
30:34Yeah, I understand.
30:36My entire career, I never once crossed the line.
30:39I was as straight and arrow as you could be.
30:43But my personal life was a bit, uh, more chaotic.
30:48Three wives, six kids.
30:50Seven.
30:51Oof. It got expensive.
30:52It got ridiculous.
30:54Credit cards were all maxed out.
30:55I thought I was behind on everything.
30:56You spent your entire career cleaning up messes desperate people made.
31:02Feeling superior.
31:05Turns out we all have a tipping point.
31:07I was just gonna do the dope rips until I got caught up financially.
31:11I thought, who the hell am I hurting?
31:12Drug dealers?
31:13They'd shoot their mother for a Trans Am.
31:18I gave my life to the job.
31:22I did way more good for this city than the wrong I did now.
31:32Let's go. Come on.
31:47That's Franklin.
31:55Hi.
31:56Hey, baby.
31:57I hope it's okay. I wanted to surprise you.
31:59Boy, did you.
31:59Yeah.
32:00They were having a recruitment drive and I thought, wouldn't it be fun if you and me worked together?
32:04It would.
32:05Yeah, it sure would.
32:06But listen, baby.
32:06You haven't actually gone inside to talk to anybody, have you?
32:08No.
32:09I waited like you asked me to.
32:10Great.
32:11Oh, that was so great.
32:12Listen, so I do have a couple errands I have to run.
32:14Why don't you come with me?
32:16No.
32:16No.
32:17Hey, hey, hey.
32:18Show me your hands.
32:20Turn around and walk to the grass now.
32:22All right.
32:22Turn around.
32:22All right.
32:24Franklin Rose, you're under arrest of felony robbery.
32:27I can't.
32:27Just let me call my boss.
32:29No need, my man.
32:30Captain Jennings is already in holding.
32:33Let's move.
32:37Kitty.
32:38Kitty?
32:39Are you serious?
32:41I really got a golden gut, huh?
32:43I wouldn't know a decent guy if he came up to me and said...
32:46Hey.
32:48You weren't kidding when you said you had to go do a thing before we could drown my sorrows, huh?
32:52Mm-hmm.
32:54Hi.
32:55Hi.
32:56Kitty Adams.
32:58Seth Ridley.
32:58Nice to meet you, Kitty.
32:59You, uh, new to town?
33:01You don't really have a big city vibe going on in a good way.
33:04Uh, Kitty, I don't think you should.
33:06Why don't you blow off your friends and have a drink with me instead?
33:11I'll tell you my life story.
33:14Go for it, dude.
33:15Okay.
33:17What?
33:18Nothing.
33:19Maybe it's such a bad idea it's actually good.
33:21Hey.
33:22Hey.
33:30Detectives from the Pacific Division have connected our kidnappers to a bank robbery in Santa Monica.
33:35They made off with over two million dollars.
33:37Oh, that explains why they were so desperate to find it.
33:39And why Isaac was so determined not to tell them.
33:41Oh, he took that secret to the grave.
33:43Which means that money's still out there.
33:45Hmm.
33:45Treasure hunt later?
33:48Well, we just have to give it back.
33:50Right.
33:51That's less fun.
33:51Less fun.
33:52Hmm.
33:56The good news is that I'm alive.
33:59What's the bad news?
34:00Well, all things considered, there is none.
34:03The surgery was straight forward.
34:05The bullet missed all your major organs.
34:07Thank God.
34:09But this leaves us with the outstanding question.
34:11Is this a life lesson or a cautionary tale?
34:14Something tells me you already know the answer to that.
34:16Oh.
34:16Cautionary tale.
34:18All day.
34:18Definitely a thinker.
34:20And not a doer.
34:21Well, personally, I think you would have made an excellent paramedic.
34:25You have more brain power than this entire hospital.
34:28And just the right amount of bravery.
34:30That means a lot.
34:31Coming from the legend that is Bailey Noon.
34:34And her husband's pretty cool, too.
34:36I told you.
34:37I'll keep him.
34:39You know, this reminds me of a fun allegory from Plato.
34:42It's much more compelling in the original ancient...
34:45I think you should rest.
34:46I'm fine.
34:47I'll just catch a Uber.
34:49You will not.
34:50I will drive you to your hotel.
34:53Plus, you promised me that we would have the chance to really talk,
34:57so I am going to take you hostage until we do.
35:00That's my girl.
35:02For what it's worth, I slammed the door in Ashton's face today.
35:09Figuratively.
35:10Disappointing.
35:13Like I told you before, he was just a temptation.
35:17Nothing more.
35:19But it did shake me up a bit.
35:22You have to admit that our marriage has been pretty static the last few years.
35:27I would have said solid, but I understand what you mean.
35:31I also understand now that this was more than just a new job for you.
35:38It was the beginning of something.
35:41But my question is, does our marriage have a part in this new beginning?
35:46Yes.
35:47I just got my head turned around, and I made a mess of things.
35:52I want us to be healthy again.
35:55I know we can't just click our heels together and make that happen.
35:59We can, if we do it in therapy.
36:04Yes.
36:05I think that's exactly where we should go.
36:09Look, how about if I take you home?
36:14You can sleep in the guest room if you want, but we can keep talking.
36:25Okay.
36:26I'd like that.
36:30You're not getting out of the night.
36:32I'm just beating your crutch.
36:33I'm just saying.
36:40Come here to celebrate the death of Shangri-La?
36:43Not at all.
36:43It's been a challenging day all around.
36:46Wanted to make sure you're doing okay.
36:48Well, thanks, kid.
36:49That's a lot more thoughtful than my traitorous lottery neighbors have been.
36:53They couldn't wait to get out of here.
36:56I mean, it looks like they bought you a few things on the way out, though.
36:59Oh, if they think they can talk me out of suing by buying me barbecues and ice makers,
37:04they are sadly mistaken.
37:06Does that mean that they're up for grabs?
37:07No, I'm not an idiot.
37:08I already sold them on eBay for a buttload.
37:11Okay.
37:11Since you're both here, I'm way past due with flushing the septic system on the RV,
37:16and it takes at least three hands.
37:18Oh, we got that.
37:20We got a...
37:20We got all the plans.
37:21That thing.
37:22The thing.
37:22That thing.
37:23Yeah.
37:25You have yourself a good night, okay?
37:27Okay.
37:28Bye, Mr. Smitty.
37:29Hey, guys.
37:33Early returns are coming in.
37:35Good news?
37:36No.
37:36We're getting crushed.
37:38Hey.
37:39Okay.
37:40So my concession speech is pre-recorded, ready to be released into the world just as soon
37:44as I officially lose.
37:45It's soon, babe.
37:46They're ready to call in.
37:47Listen, let us take you to dinner.
37:49We know this great Mexican spot up in the valley.
37:51Was it Nolan and Bailey's place?
37:55You told.
37:57He saw all the decorations.
37:59What?
37:59Did you want me to lie?
38:00Yes.
38:01It's fine.
38:02I can think of no better place to celebrate my failures than with all of my friends.
38:05You made it to the finish line and fell down on your face while everybody walks.
38:15You lost a race you tried to win and you can't even argue cause you lost by a lot.
38:24I did.
38:26I did.
38:26You tried your best and you got wrecked and now you're looking all depressed, oh.
38:36You made a new mistake.
38:38You feel ashamed.
38:40You don't have to lie away.
38:46If you think you're on your own, just come home.
38:50We'll be waiting when you don't know what to do anymore.
38:54That's what we're here for.
38:59That's what we're here for.
39:04That's what we're here for.
39:06Get me a piece to eat.
39:09This just feels weird.
39:13Oh, just, that's my, okay.
39:16Yeah.
39:16There.
39:17Well, thank you.
39:20They're about to play your speech.
39:22You want to turn on the news?
39:23No.
39:24No, I think that's in our rear view mirror now.
39:26Well, the beam was going to fire you anyways.
39:28Might as well speak your truth.
39:31It felt so good to cut through the noise.
39:33You know, stop playing politics.
39:36It also made me realize how little I'd accomplished at the DA's office.
39:40I mean, I tried to change the system from within, but without being the boss, without having that power, it's
39:44a losing battle.
39:45So I think I'm going to go back to being a defense lawyer.
39:50I figured, but there are a lot of cops who are going to feel betrayed, like you're siding with the
39:55enemy.
39:56Well, there's only one cop whose opinion I care about.
40:00Oh.
40:01Yeah.
40:01I'm all for it.
40:02Our sex life was unreal and we're on opposite sides.
40:06Yes, it was.
40:07Oh.
40:08Okay.
40:09Hmm.
40:10Okay.
40:11Okay.
40:14Here's the thing.
40:15I wrote the song because I think you're incredible and because I got really excited when I realized that Selena
40:20rhymes with zebra and subpoena.
40:21Does it though?
40:22Close enough for art.
40:24Look, I'm sorry that it made you feel self-conscious, but a song is not a statement of truth.
40:29It's an opinion.
40:30I think you're the most beautiful woman in the world.
40:32That does not objectively make you that.
40:34Okay.
40:34Well, in case you haven't noticed, I am a painfully humble person.
40:37I mean, how can I not be?
40:39I'm surrounded by the most amazing people on the daily.
40:44I mean, seriously.
40:45Take a look at that group of badass overachievers.
40:48Every single one of them a unicorn in their own way.
40:52And you belong right there with them.
40:55I won't be taking any arguments at this time.
41:01All the speech.
41:04Everyone, if you'd gather around, it is official.
41:07Sadly, Wesley will not be the new district attorney.
41:12That's okay.
41:13But, Wesley, clearly everybody in this room is fiercely proud of you for putting yourself
41:19out there and shining a light on what is wrong with our system and the ways in which
41:24it could be fixed if we were only collectively brave enough to try.
41:28So, we raise our glasses to you.
41:30To Wesley.
41:31Woo!
41:32Wesley!
41:34I can't say that it was an enjoyable experience, but man, was it memorable.
41:38We've all gone through so much together this year.
41:40Sometimes it felt like it was more than we could handle, but it wasn't.
41:44Because we had each other.
41:47It's safe to say that I have no idea what the future has in store, but I do know one
41:51thing.
41:52We won't be going through it alone.
41:54Because we're a family.
41:56So, thank you.
41:57Hear, hear.
41:59Woo!
42:00Let's eat.
42:01Please.
42:02We'll be here, and we don't know what to do anymore.
42:06That's what we're here for.
42:11That's what we're here for.
42:13That's what we're here for.
42:34That's what we're here for.
42:52Damn it!
42:53Damn it!
