Short filmTranscript
00:11Good morning. Ready for a run?
00:13Yeah. Just let me hit the mouthwash.
00:19Selena told me you were living in your car, but she did not tell me how cool it was.
00:23Well, I wish it was a little less cool, a little bit more comfortable.
00:27I hear that, but at least you don't have a rodent problem.
00:29Last week, a rat tried to bum a cigarette off me while I was in the bathtub.
00:32I finally got the landlord to call in some guys for what he called an aggressive intervention,
00:36so Selena's letting me sleep over for a few days.
00:38Is Lucy okay with that?
00:40Yeah, totally. What?
00:42No, nothing. She's happy to have you. She just doesn't want it to be, like, a permanent thing.
00:47No way. I love my place. Or I will once my own house guests are gone.
00:51Yeah, well, at this point, I'd be happy to share an apartment with a few critters if it came with
00:54indoor plumbing.
00:55Shall we? Go!
00:56Hey! Hey! Not fair!
00:58Hey! Wait!
01:05Sorry, parking was a nightmare. I'm almost there.
01:08Oh, great. We're both running late.
01:10Fantastic first impression.
01:12I'm sure the social worker will understand.
01:14We're asking her to trust us with a baby. We need to be perfect.
01:18Oh, I see her. I gotta go.
01:20Bye.
01:20Bye.
01:22Bye.
01:23Bye.
01:25Bye.
01:25Bye.
01:26Bye.
01:27Bye.
01:28Bye.
01:31Oh, no.
01:33Ms. Greer. Hi. I am so sorry I'm late. Don't worry about it. Parking here is awful. Atari just need
01:38to respond to the email.
01:40Oh, yes.
01:40It's always something.
01:42Oh, yes.
01:42Greer, so nice to see you.
01:45I am so sorry that we're late.
01:46Of course. Thank you for meeting me here.
01:49It is such a nice day. I figured we could sit outside.
01:51No. No, my allergies are just very...
01:56Do you mind if we sit inside?
01:58Uh, sure, I guess. Um, whatever makes you comfortable.
02:01Thanks. Okay.
02:03What's wrong with you?
02:06Oh, God.
02:08This place has the best muffins.
02:10I love muffins. Can you show me?
02:12Oh, I'm gonna win for you like I know you won't meet you.
02:21So, the good news is we are now up to two dozen members,
02:25and we are branching out.
02:27So, uh, Leonard in West L.A., singer in Southwest,
02:30and Thorson up in North Hollywood
02:32are all putting together a list of cops
02:34who they believe would be able to take a stand for police reform.
02:38Are there any rumors about pushback?
02:40Not yet.
02:40So far, we've managed to stay under the radar, but it won't last.
02:44After the pressure campaign will start,
02:45they'll accuse us of being woke and betraying the badge.
02:47Any possibility that that's already started?
02:49And that the billboard calling me out for being a dirty cop
02:52is the pushback trying to undercut us before we get started?
02:56Well, billboards are not cheap, and most likely,
02:58they would come after all of us.
03:00Whoever did this billboard seems like they hate only you.
03:02Who would hate me?
03:04Dozens of people currently sitting in prison.
03:06Fair enough.
03:07And there's no way that we can just get the billboard taken down?
03:10I mean...
03:10I mean, it's not technically liable.
03:12They're just asking a question.
03:14Yeah.
03:15A question that's gonna keep us from adopting.
03:22So, your first solo ride.
03:24Are you nervous?
03:24No, I'm looking forward to it, actually.
03:26There's a certain freedom that comes with making all my own decisions.
03:29Good.
03:30You're gonna do great.
03:31And we're all just a radio call away.
03:32Well, I'm just a call away for you, too.
03:36Everything okay?
03:38Uh...
03:38Luna got Rachel an interview at the hospital,
03:40but she didn't show up.
03:43That's not like Rachel.
03:44I mean, it didn't used to be, but now I...
03:46I don't know.
03:47I feel like something has been off ever since New York.
03:50Look, I'm sure she'd talk to you if something was wrong.
03:52I'm not sure she would.
03:53I mean, as soon as she moved out,
03:55it just feels like she's been avoiding me.
03:57Do you think maybe we should talk to her?
03:59I mean, that sounds more like a best friend situation
04:02than an ex-boyfriend situation.
04:03Oh, thanks for the support.
04:05Yeah, anytime.
04:06Let's go, Boop.
04:08Would you care for my two cents?
04:10Yes, always.
04:11If she's going through something,
04:13knowing someone cares might be exactly what she needs.
04:25Hi.
04:26Hi.
04:26I totally forgot to tell you,
04:28the cable guy's coming to fix the Wi-Fi today.
04:30Could you let him in?
04:31Yeah, of course.
04:32All I'm doing today is finishing up this song
04:34about this super sexy girl who...
04:36Hold that thought.
04:37I gotta arrest a guy.
04:39I'm sorry.
04:40You were saying something about a sexy girl who...
04:43It was gonna be about how she lights up the room
04:46with her beautiful smile.
04:48Now it's about how she wields her fists of fury.
04:50Oh, hold that thought.
04:52Why can I be both?
04:54You know, a girl that can light up a room
04:55and also kick butt.
04:57Oh, that you can.
04:58Listen, I want to make a demo of this,
05:00but I don't have any of my gear.
05:01Is it okay if I bring over some of my sound system from home?
05:03A sound system?
05:04That sounds like a whole thing.
05:06No, it's totally non-invasive, I promise.
05:08Oh, boy.
05:09I gotta go.
05:16Are you showing off?
05:17No, sir.
05:18Just got lucky.
05:19We'll keep it up.
05:20Yes, sir.
05:23All right.
05:25Eyes up, Poop.
05:27Sorry, sir.
05:29I just...
05:30had a momentary weakening of spirit.
05:33I was looking at apartments, hoping they had magically gotten cheap.
05:36Thought you were gonna hold off till after you graduated from the FTO program.
05:39Oh, yes, sir.
05:40My nana always said you can't get lard unless you ball the hog.
05:45Meaning you gotta do the hard work to get what you want.
05:47If I spend the next year saving money, I should be able to afford a decent place.
05:52That's admirable.
05:53Too many people these days subscribe to the treat-yourself school of self-care.
05:57As opposed to the monastic life you live?
06:01No disrespect intended.
06:03I aspire to a level of discipline you consider...
06:05Stop while you're behind.
06:07Yes, sir.
06:22Just call her.
06:24You're right.
06:30Hey, how are you?
06:31Hey, I'm good.
06:33I heard that you missed your interview at the hospital this morning.
06:37Are you okay?
06:38That was so embarrassing.
06:39They sent out a Gmail after I scheduled the interview, but I used Outlook.
06:43The wires must have gotten crossed and it landed on the wrong date.
06:46Oh.
06:47Okay.
06:48Well, I bet you Luna would appreciate a call.
06:50Absolutely.
06:51On it.
06:51I should go.
06:52Crazy day.
06:54Oh.
06:55That was weird.
06:57She was weird, right?
06:59I don't know her well enough to answer that, but it did seem a little over-explaining with a side
07:05order of forced cheerfulness.
07:06Exactly.
07:11Control, we have a 23103 headed north on Benedict Canyon.
07:21Expired plates.
07:25Belongs to a Vigo Nash.
07:27It's clear and valid.
07:28All right.
07:29Let's check it out.
07:52Hey, fill us in.
07:53The victim's name is Vigo Nash.
07:55He's a Las Vegas native.
07:56Moved to Boyle Heights with his wife Sadie about a year ago.
07:59Any idea what he was doing?
08:00In this neighborhood?
08:01No, but he does have a record in Vegas.
08:02Several misdemeanors and one armed robbery.
08:05But nothing since he moved to L.A.
08:06Nothing that we know of.
08:08Any luck on the bike?
08:09No, it's a red Ducati 1198.
08:11No plates.
08:12We've got to pull it out.
08:13I sent Waters to put eyes on the victim's house until Nolan and Shank make the death notification.
08:17All right.
08:17Go.
08:18I will reach out to Vegas PD and see if they can give us any context on our victim.
08:25Hey, officer, what's going on?
08:27Mona!
08:30Penn?
08:31Is that you?
08:32AJ.
08:34AJ, how you doing, man?
08:35It's been a minute.
08:37It sure has.
08:38Man, look at you rocking that L.A.P. the uniform.
08:40Look at me.
08:41Look at you.
08:42Word on the street is you taking the charges all the way to the Super Bowl.
08:45Yeah, man.
08:46It's a great team.
08:47A lot of talent on that field, man.
08:48But hey, I got some folks stopping by the house later tonight.
08:51You should come by.
08:52I mean, unless you got to work.
08:53My shift ends at 6, but then I'm free.
08:55Love that.
08:56All right, man.
08:57It's good seeing you.
08:58Yeah, man.
09:08Let's go.
09:11Is that AJ Knox?
09:13Yes, sir.
09:14I take it.
09:15You a fan?
09:16I mean, I've only watched every snap he's taken with the Chargers.
09:18He's the reason you guys won that college championship.
09:20Oh, don't I know it?
09:21AJ's got a golden on.
09:23And a hundred million dollar contract.
09:25And he's driving my dream car.
09:27Stings a little?
09:28Nah.
09:29Nah, I'm good.
09:29I'm saving lives and he's playing the game.
09:41Hey, this isn't a good time.
09:43Just a quick question.
09:44Is it okay if I flip the couch around just temporarily?
09:46Uh, I guess so.
09:48But why?
09:49I'm not getting the full perceptual nuance I need.
09:53Oh, my God.
09:54Is that my living room?
09:56I thought you said it was non-invasive.
09:59Why are the speakers so huge?
10:00I'm so glad you asked.
10:02It's because bigger speakers are more sensitive than smaller ones.
10:05They suppress less of a mid-range treble.
10:06You get more of an even frequency response.
10:08Get them out.
10:10Before Lucy gets home, they better be gone.
10:13Okay, but you're missing out on a truly satisfying aural experience.
10:17Whatever.
10:18Wait, did the cable guy ever come fix the Wi-Fi?
10:20Yeah, he was useless.
10:22I told him I'd handle it.
10:23And did you?
10:25No, but I will.
10:29That's the bike.
10:30I gotta go.
10:31What?
10:44Control 7 Lincoln 13.
10:46I need a couple more units for an ATL.
10:48I have the suspect motorcycle on the 246 located at the victim's house.
10:53Copy attaching units for an attempt to locate.
10:56on the 246 suspect.
11:017 out of 15 is five minutes out.
11:03They are advising you wait to enter.
11:06Negative control.
11:07Signs of distress coming from inside.
11:08I'm making entry.
11:10Please alert responding units.
11:18Police!
11:20I'm in the house!
11:21Come out and your hands better be empty!
11:25I'm in the house!
11:59You're okay?
12:01Everything's okay.
12:03Control 7 Lincoln 13.
12:05Requesting an RA at my location.
12:07I have a female victim.
12:08She's semi-conscious and breathing.
12:10Clear signs of torture.
12:12I...
12:14Okay, I hear the suspect fleeing the house back door.
12:17I...
12:18I...
12:18I have to stay with the victim.
12:19Where's my backup?
12:33Police!
12:34Put your hands up!
12:35Do it now!
12:38We're late!
12:50Control, our 187 suspect fled the scene after trying to kill us with a grenade.
12:55Black pants, bite jacket, striped helmet.
12:57Mobilize airship and backup.
12:59You okay?
12:59No.
13:00I'm pissed off.
13:01It's not in our job description to be dodging grenades.
13:04Are you okay?
13:06Eh.
13:14Nice work.
13:15Disabling the motorcycle.
13:17Uh, she's stable and they're taking her to St. Stephen.
13:20Did she identify her attacker?
13:21No, she wasn't conscious.
13:22He was clearly torturing her.
13:25So, the bike is registered to Mac Wheeler, known associate of Viggo Nash.
13:28They've pulled a number of jobs together over the years.
13:30Guess they had a falling out?
13:31Mac threw a grenade at Viggo.
13:33Why not take out the wife the same way?
13:35Maybe Viggo was a rush job because we pulled him over.
13:38Maybe he's worried about what he was gonna say to the cops?
13:40Seems likely.
13:42Nolan.
13:45Oh, come on.
13:49Seriously?
13:50Well, it's for reference.
13:52And the group chat.
13:58All right.
13:59Thanks.
14:01The wife is in bad shape.
14:03Traumatic brain injury, broken facial bones, and a ruptured spleen.
14:07She won't be able to talk anytime soon.
14:09I'm gonna double the security detail when she's out of surgery.
14:12Good call.
14:16I know that is not what I think it is.
14:21And why would they use that picture?
14:25This was more fun when it was just Nolan.
14:29Well, this is good news.
14:31I failed to see how.
14:33Okay.
14:34Nolan's bus ad crosses the line.
14:36Fun fact, it was meant to be a question mark, but the printer screwed up and put a period instead.
14:40Which is great for us because it states that his alleged corruption is a fact rather than a question.
14:46A fact that is provably untrue.
14:49And because you're a public officer is libel, slander, and defamation of character.
14:54You have been investigated by IA.
14:56And exonerated.
14:57Which is the important part.
14:58The preponderance of evidence is heavily in your favor.
15:01Okay.
15:01What about us?
15:01Ours is just a question.
15:04Yeah.
15:04Yours is trickier.
15:06Meaning there's nothing you can do.
15:08For now.
15:08But it does say something about who's behind this, right?
15:12If it's a criminal, it's someone all three of us put away.
15:14I'll start putting together a list.
15:16I'll subpoena the advertising company.
15:18See who paid for them.
15:19Howdy.
15:20Today's reports, every I dotted, every T crossed, is viewed and approved.
15:24That was fast.
15:25You got big plans tonight?
15:27AJ invited me over.
15:29Yeah, that sounds like fun.
15:30But, uh, the RP on the unintended death case, I don't see a transcript of your statement.
15:35It's a 911 call.
15:36You need a separate statement.
15:37Do it by phone.
15:39It'll take you 15 minutes.
15:46Hey.
15:47Hey.
15:48Having trouble?
15:49Yeah, a little.
15:50I'm exhausted.
15:51Tell me about it.
15:52What happened to your face?
15:54Oh, that was grenade number two.
15:55There's a grenade number one?
15:56Mm-hmm.
15:59Ms. Greer, did we have something scheduled for today?
16:03No.
16:04Well, I was driving home and I saw a billboard with your face on it.
16:08And a bus.
16:09And an ad on top of the taxi.
16:11I don't know what that's called.
16:13Yeah, I can explain that.
16:15I can't wait.
16:16I can't wait.
16:26I can't wait.
16:27I can't wait.
16:29I can't wait.
16:42to AJ. We used to play ball together.
16:44He invited me to stop by. I'm gonna need
16:46to friske you. Yeah, that ain't gonna happen.
16:48I'm an off-duty cop.
16:50I got my piece on my hip and Joe on my soul.
16:54Seriously, he ain't gonna put your hands on me.
17:03AJ say anything to you about a cop
17:04coming by? Yeah.
17:06Yeah, let him in.
17:10Thank you, Conor.
17:12Sean Larson. Miles Penn.
17:14Slay.
17:19Nice party.
17:20It's not a party.
17:22It's a Tuesday. Sadly, I haven't
17:25met Taylor yet, but
17:26huge fan.
17:28There he is.
17:31I see you already
17:32met Sean, my childhood best friend.
17:35Currently his personal trainer and chief
17:36of staff. That's just a fancy way of saying he makes my
17:39smoothies.
17:39We needed a title
17:41for tax purposes.
17:42This house is, uh,
17:44it's ridiculous.
17:45I know.
17:47Hey, you're gonna hang all night, right?
17:48Yeah, for a while. I'm off tomorrow.
17:49Hey, yo, man, I got plenty of rooms.
17:51Rooms I don't even go in.
17:52All right, so just pick a bed and crash.
17:55That way you can just enjoy yourself.
17:56You deserve it.
17:58Yeah.
17:59Yeah, you know what I do.
18:01AJ.
18:02Ah, it's interview time.
18:04Hey, come with me.
18:19How'd I look?
18:20Like you're living your dream.
18:23Hey, AJ, the guys are almost ready for you.
18:25Thanks.
18:26We're good to go on this end.
18:31AJ, thanks for taking the time.
18:33Always a pleasure.
18:34How's the offseason going?
18:35Great.
18:36Getting my two-a-days in,
18:37trying to get a little more lean,
18:38a little more nimble.
18:39All right, the draft is coming up.
18:40If you were the GM,
18:42who would you pick?
18:43Are you trying to get me in trouble with the boss?
18:44I gotta get at least one Super Bowl ring
18:47before I can make personnel decisions.
18:49Look, it's no secret
18:50that I could use better protection on the blind side
18:52and a little more depth at RB wouldn't hurt.
18:55In fact, I wish I could hand it off
18:57to this beast again.
18:59You remember Miles Penn,
19:01my old college running back?
19:04Now he's a big-time cop here in L.A.
19:06Of course.
19:07We did a whole story on the untimely end
19:09of your college career.
19:12Thank you for bringing that up.
19:15But it was the best thing
19:16that could have happened to him.
19:18Right.
19:18Well, Miles, thank you for your service.
19:21A.J., you brought up the Super Bowl.
19:23The Chargers are the favorites to win it all.
19:25Hey, anything can happen.
19:28But there was a corruption investigation.
19:31Yes, but that was because
19:32I was being framed by another cop,
19:34Nick Armstrong.
19:35John was a hero.
19:40What can you tell me
19:41about the incident during the honeymoon?
19:45There was a small hostage situation.
19:48Weird fluke.
19:49You know how those happen.
19:51Weren't you held hostage on a bus recently?
19:54Starting to sound like a habit.
19:56Well, I'm, I'm, I mean,
19:58I'm sure you've placed children
19:59with first responders before.
20:01I mean, we all got crazy stories.
20:03Yours are in another stratosphere.
20:07I understand your ex-husband
20:09passed away recently.
20:11That is correct.
20:14I'm so sorry for your loss.
20:16May I ask what happened?
20:18How he died?
20:19He was shot by a hitman,
20:22which I, I know that sounds bad.
20:24And you're probably going to ask about
20:26when I drowned in that tank, but...
20:29I'm sorry, what tank?
20:31Uh, you know,
20:33that was,
20:34that sounds far more dramatic than it was.
20:37Maybe it would be quicker
20:39to talk about the work days
20:40you didn't almost die.
20:56Those don't look like the usual duties
20:58for a chief of staff.
20:59No, this room is off limits.
21:00Does AJ know you're pulling his jewelry?
21:02AJ said I could borrow it.
21:05Oh, I love it.
21:06Even that ice around your neck.
21:09Now, these were a gift.
21:11Okay.
21:13Why am I getting the third degree?
21:14I mean, you're not on duty.
21:16Just looking out for my QB.
21:17That's my job now.
21:19So why don't you go enjoy
21:20a glimpse of the life you threw away?
21:22Make sure to check out that pool deck.
21:24Just don't get any ideas.
21:26Jump from that roof again.
21:31Well, I think I have what I need,
21:35unless there's another near-death experience
21:38or a toxic family member
21:40or criminal arch nemesis
21:42I need to know about.
21:43Nope.
21:44I think you pretty much
21:45covered them all in great detail.
21:47Hmm.
21:47Mm-hmm.
21:52Listen.
21:53You both are brave,
21:55dedicated people,
21:55and I can see the love
21:58that you have for each other.
21:59I have no doubt in my mind
22:00about your characters,
22:02but there's no adoption agency
22:04in the world
22:05that would consider you
22:06given the extreme amount of danger
22:08you have in your lives.
22:09I'm sorry.
22:15Just put in love
22:24Oh, no, we just got here.
22:34We don't have to leave, all right?
22:35Just go somewhere more quiet.
22:37I didn't come here for quiet.
22:38I came here to dance.
22:39Hey, you're Lucy's friend, right?
22:42Do I know you?
22:43I'm Miles.
22:44I work with Lucy and Tim.
22:45I'm the new rookie.
22:47Right.
22:47Hey, we're talking.
22:50Doesn't seem like she's interesting.
22:53Why don't you back off?
22:56Walk away
22:57and do not speak to her again.
23:04Thanks.
23:05Anytime.
23:06So,
23:07what, uh,
23:08brings a cop
23:09to a party like this?
23:12On a strange drive
23:13to humiliate myself,
23:14I guess.
23:16Okay.
23:17Ah!
23:19I love you so much!
23:23It's great, but, um,
23:24it's almost 4 a.m.,
23:25and I'm about to turn it.
23:27Oh, come on.
23:27One more dance.
23:28How about I give you a ride home instead?
23:31Boring.
23:33Come on.
23:47What happened?
23:48Hey, so I'm at this party.
23:49You know A.J. Knox,
23:50the Chargers quarterback?
23:52Dude,
23:52if you call me this late at night
23:53to talk for a while,
23:54I...
23:55Sorry,
23:56the thing is,
23:58your friend Rachel was here,
23:59and maybe I'm overreacting,
24:01but...
24:03Miles,
24:03say what you're gonna say, man.
24:05She's wasted.
24:06And I tried to offer her a ride home,
24:08but she said no,
24:09and I don't wanna just leave her here,
24:10but...
24:11I'm worried somebody's gonna
24:12take advantage of it.
24:13I got it.
24:14Will you just text me the address,
24:15and I will head over there right now.
24:18All right, thank you.
24:19No, thank you.
24:20Thank you so much.
24:21Thanks for looking out.
24:24There's something in there.
24:25Sorry, is it too loud?
24:27No, no, not at all.
24:29Wait, did somebody scream earlier?
24:30That was me.
24:31Ghosts are scary.
24:33Ron, she fixed the Wi-Fi.
24:34Yeah, I updated your firmware,
24:36and I added a wireless repeater
24:38to supercharge your speed,
24:39and...
24:40Where are you going?
24:41Actually, Rachel is partying in Bel Air,
24:43and apparently she needs help, so...
24:45Uh...
24:46Do you need company?
24:47No, no, it's okay.
24:49Well, I, for one,
24:50would feel better
24:51if you had some backup.
24:52Oh.
24:52And what exactly would you do
24:54if things went sideways?
24:56Oh, I'm gonna let Selina
24:56and her Fist of Fury handle it.
24:59Okay.
25:00I wrote a song about it.
25:01I'll sing it to you on the way.
25:02Awesome.
25:05Ooh, what about this one?
25:07Margarita Lehrer voted
25:08number one adoption attorney
25:10in Southern California.
25:11Margarita says,
25:12I can help make your family's dreams come true.
25:15Does she specialize
25:16in dangerous adoptive parents?
25:17We're not dangerous.
25:19Our lives are just...
25:21Full of danger.
25:22Look, let's say we ignore
25:25the agency's concerns
25:26and we hire a lawyer.
25:29The way adoptions work today,
25:31the birth mother would still have to pick us,
25:33you know,
25:34over all the other candidates
25:36who don't risk their lives every day.
25:39And then, let's say we get a baby,
25:42and heaven forbid something happens
25:44to one of us, or both of us.
25:45What then?
25:47I mean, it's not like we have any family
25:49that can help out.
25:50You have Pete?
25:51Like I said,
25:52there would be no help.
25:54I mean, maybe the social worker is right.
25:56I spend my days running towards gunfire,
26:01and you spend your days
26:03literally running into fire.
26:05We both love our jobs.
26:08Some people go their entire lives
26:10without finding their passions.
26:11Right.
26:11I found my passion,
26:13and then I found you.
26:14And I wake up every day,
26:16and I think to myself,
26:17I am the luckiest guy in the world.
26:20We do have a great life, don't we?
26:22We really do.
26:24Why do I feel so sad?
26:36Hello?
26:37New uniforms?
26:38This is not official business.
26:40We're just here to look for a guest.
26:41It will only take a minute.
26:47I don't have a badge,
26:49but I am with them.
26:51I just came with them.
26:54Selena?
26:55Oh, he's with me.
27:01Oh, Rachel.
27:04Lucy!
27:05Hello.
27:05Hi!
27:06What are you doing here?
27:08Oh, are you here with Mitch?
27:11Miles.
27:12I thought you learned your lesson
27:14about dating at work,
27:15but hey, I get it.
27:17He looks like he knows his way around.
27:20No, no more than...
27:21Selena!
27:23And I don't know.
27:26That's my boyfriend Raj.
27:27Oh, hi, boyfriend Raj.
27:30You guys look like you could use some drinks.
27:32Well, I mean, Rach, the sun is out.
27:35I mean, the bartender's probably gone home.
27:37She seems mostly fine, thank God.
27:39This house is amazing.
27:41What kind of speakers he's got.
27:45She seems fine.
27:47Are you here to check up on me?
27:50Okay, so Miles called,
27:52and after what happened at the hospital this morning,
27:55I admit I was worried.
27:57Don't be.
28:00Okay.
28:00I can take care of myself.
28:03Okay.
28:05Ooh, okay.
28:06So, now what do we do?
28:11We need to find her.
28:13No.
28:14No, look, listen, listen.
28:16I am not backing out.
28:17I'm just saying, maybe we wait a beat.
28:24There's a complicating factor.
28:34Morning.
28:36How's your sleep?
28:37I didn't.
28:38There's a whole party still going on.
28:40Nah, junk is cleaning out the stragglers.
28:43Hey, you want some of this protein coffee?
28:45Sean's special orders the beans from Columbia.
28:47I'm sure it's costing me an arm in LA.
28:49Maybe later.
28:51Hey, listen, about Sean.
28:54I caught him palming some of your stuff last night.
28:56He tried to play it off like you was loaned it to him, but...
28:59Yeah.
29:00He thinks he slipped.
29:02Wait, so you know that he's stealing from you?
29:05Well, he calls it borrowing, and I let him.
29:07I don't leave any other good stuff around where you can get to it.
29:09You're already paying him.
29:10He shouldn't be skimming, too.
29:12And the people who were hanging out in your house basically trashed the place.
29:15They ain't your friends, AJ.
29:17They should have more respect for you.
29:19I know.
29:21I was alone a lot growing up.
29:24My mom worked two jobs, and the apartment was barely big enough for the two of us.
29:27No way I could have friends over.
29:29I just remember thinking, one day, I'm going to be rich.
29:33I'm going to throw the best parties, and everyone is going to want to hang out in my house.
29:38Look, the charges gave me a $100 million deal.
29:40No way I could spend that much money in two lifetimes.
29:43But I like to have people around.
29:45Man, if that means I've got to keep the drinks flowing and put some people on the payroll,
29:50I'm cool with that.
29:51I get that.
29:53But if something crazy goes down at one of these parties, it's going to be your name and the headline.
29:58It's your life and career on the line, not Sean's.
30:02You've got to be careful when you let it get close.
30:05You volunteering?
30:07Nah, man.
30:09I already got a job.
30:10Yeah, but does it pay $300,000?
30:13Because that's the salary I'd start you on.
30:14Come run my security detail.
30:17I mean, that is some real money, but...
30:20Hey, no, no.
30:20Don't say you know it just yet, man.
30:22Just think about it.
30:24All of this, my lifestyle, will be your lifestyle.
30:37His name is Mac Wheeler.
30:40My husband pulled a few jobs with him in Vegas.
30:43Why did he torture you?
30:45To see if Vigo told anyone else about the job they were supposed to pull before Vigo got cold feet.
30:52What job?
30:54Robbing some rich guy's house.
30:57Vigo thought it was supposed to be just a straight-up robbery, but then he found out there was more
31:02to it, so he told Wheeler he was out.
31:05More to it like what?
31:06I don't know, but it must have been bad, because Vigo, in his guilty conscience, he was going to the
31:12guy's house to warn him when Wheeler caught him and blew him up.
31:17Ma'am, do you have any idea of who the target might be?
31:22Some football star.
31:26AJ Knox.
31:32A bowling alley?
31:34God, how big is this place?
31:36Every time I feel like we've searched it all, we find another room.
31:39You know, maybe Rachel took an Uber home.
31:41Oh, God.
31:43I gotta take this.
31:45Hey.
31:46Hey, is Rachel with you?
31:47Oh, are you here?
31:48Well, yeah, we've been looking for her, but she must have gone to ground or passed out somewhere.
31:52Morning, my brothers.
31:54Today's smoothie is strawberry spinach.
31:56With bee pollen.
31:57Yes, sir.
31:58No, thanks.
31:59I'm allergic to strawberry.
32:00Sorry, what?
32:00Nothing.
32:01I wasn't talking to you.
32:03Now, hold on.
32:04Harper's calling me.
32:05I'm gonna go look when I'm free, all right?
32:07All right.
32:08Okay.
32:09Hey.
32:10I heard you're at AJ Knox's place.
32:12Yeah?
32:12We think he's being targeted by a home invasion crew.
32:15What?
32:16And there's an inside man.
32:22Oh, he drugged his smoothies.
32:23I gotta go.
32:24Sit back up.
32:25Sean, show me your hands.
32:26Whoa, whoa, relax.
32:27Relax.
32:30Whoa, whoa, whoa.
32:33Come on.
32:34We gotta go.
32:36Let's go.
32:44Let's go.
32:46Oh, thank God.
32:47Jeez.
32:48I sang her lullaby and she passed right out.
32:50Oh.
32:52What's that?
32:53Yes.
32:54Locked the door and barricaded.
33:01I don't understand.
33:03Sean showed you out.
33:04I don't know why, but that home invasion crew means business.
33:09You have a pool inside, too?
33:12Damn, he's got a pool inside, too?
33:14Hey, what is going on?
33:16We got two men.
33:17One shotgun, one handgun, an inside man.
33:20Sean.
33:20Okay, well, backup's been called.
33:22We just gotta hold him off until they get here.
33:36You got me between a rock and a hard place here, Miles.
33:39You sold me out.
33:40I had no choice.
33:41I got in bed with the wrong people, owed them too much money.
33:44This is supposed to be an easy job.
33:46It was supposed to look like you got hurt in a home invasion.
33:49I put money on you not being able to play this season.
33:52I would have paid out more than enough to get me out of debt,
33:54but all home week had to show up and ruin it all.
34:39Damn, son.
34:41You didn't learn that on the football field.
34:47Don't move.
34:48Slowly place your weapons on the ground.
34:53You lace your fingers on your heads and step down to me.
35:00Turn around.
35:05You don't have a grenade hidden on you anywhere, do you?
35:09Well, not the judge.
35:11Sounds like poor planning.
35:18Did all right today.
35:20Thanks.
35:22What?
35:24Nothing.
35:26Come on, man, spill it.
35:30AJ offered me a job, private security, twice a salary as LAPD.
35:37What'd you say?
35:38I haven't given him an answer yet, but I'm thinking about it.
35:41It's a sweet life.
35:43Sleeping in mansions, flying on private jets.
35:46I mean, it beats watching Smitty do Tai Chi in his undies every morning.
35:52You disagree?
35:55You go with AJ, you'd be a gopher, personal assistant, paid friend.
36:01The life you wanted that AJ has, that wouldn't be yours.
36:05It'd be his.
36:07And it would eat you up inside once you realized it.
36:10With all due respect, sir, half the time I feel like I'm your gopher.
36:14Except you don't have hot girls around you 24-7, and I live in my car.
36:20All right, man.
36:21You really going to make me say it out loud?
36:24Say what?
36:25You're a good cop, Texas.
36:28Or at least, you will be when I'm done with you.
36:32Look, when you blew out your knee, you could have grabbed on to AJ's coattails then, but you didn't.
36:37You wanted to be your own man, right?
36:40So don't go wasting all that talent taking the easy road.
36:44I swear, if the scouts came to my high school, I could have gone pro.
36:49I could throw the ball over Mount Baldy.
36:52Where'd you go to school the scouts couldn't reach you?
36:54Exactly.
36:57Who was that guy?
36:58A nuisance.
37:00Thanks for the threads.
37:01I'll wash them before I give them back to you.
37:03Nah, I got plenty.
37:05Have you thought more about my offer?
37:06I need you on my team.
37:11I'm going to have to decline.
37:15You saying no?
37:17For real?
37:19The football life is, uh, is your calling.
37:25My calling is here.
37:30I'm glad you found your place.
37:32If you ever need anything from me, it's yours.
37:37I mean, how about season tickets?
37:40For both of us.
37:44Done.
37:51That's a good decision.
37:54Now go finish up that paperwork so we can be scored away for tomorrow.
37:56Get in early, get the shop set up.
37:58We're 10-8 right after roll call.
37:59Yes, sir.
38:02Still, I'm here tonight.
38:05Hey, Nola.
38:07I got some great news for you.
38:08Fantastic.
38:09I could use a win.
38:10Is everything okay?
38:11No, I'm fine.
38:12Ignore me.
38:12Go ahead.
38:12The billboards are no more.
38:14You're kidding.
38:14They're gone.
38:15Yeah.
38:15The billboard company feared a defamation suit, so they threw the buyer under the bus immediately.
38:19Who was it?
38:21It's a complicated tangle of accounts, all leading back to Liam Glasser.
38:26Serial killer Liam Glasser is the billboard man?
38:29Well, his trial's coming up.
38:31He's trying to taint the jury pool, which is super illegal.
38:34Not a bad plan, though.
38:35Make the prime witnesses against you look her up.
38:38How do you do it from prison, though?
38:39I bet money his lawyer's in on it.
38:41And if he is, I'm going to get his ass to spark.
38:46Hey, thanks for coming to find me last night, or this morning, whenever that happened.
38:53Of course.
38:54How's your hangover?
38:55Epic.
38:56Yeah.
38:57Yeah.
38:58Yeah.
38:59Look, Rachel, I can't help but feel like something's going on.
39:02Um, I'm here for you.
39:04I mean, you don't have to talk to me, of course.
39:07Um, but maybe you should talk to somebody.
39:11I know.
39:13Yeah.
39:15My, uh, dad died a few months ago.
39:19Pastate cancer.
39:21Oh, my God.
39:23I'm so sorry.
39:24I don't know.
39:25I didn't tell anyone.
39:27I couldn't talk about it.
39:29Living it was hard enough.
39:32I was with him constantly.
39:34First in the hospital, and then in hospice.
39:39Every day was so awful and draining, and...
39:42I couldn't stop thinking about everything he was going through.
39:47I didn't want to be alone, but I didn't want to talk about it.
39:52And strangers don't ask me how I'm doing.
39:54At clubs or parties, I can just stop thinking and be someone else.
40:02Someone who's not sad all the time.
40:07Thank you for having me.
40:11You were going to get through this.
40:13And I'm here for you, whatever you mean.
40:17I'm sorry.
40:22Welcome home!
40:24I took a nap in case tonight's going to be as much fun as last night.
40:28Oh, okay.
40:28I wouldn't exactly call that fun.
40:30Wow, that smells amazing.
40:34I did a couple semesters at culinary school
40:37before I devoted myself to music full-time.
40:39Lucky me.
40:42Listen, these last couple of days have been great.
40:45But you're kicking me out.
40:46No, it's just, yes.
40:48But not because you did anything wrong.
40:50It's just too soon for us.
40:52You know, we just started dating, and we have to build up to living together.
40:55You know, new relationships need the space between.
40:58New album title, I called it.
41:00It's fine.
41:01Rat Squad finished up at my place today.
41:02It's safe for me to return.
41:03I bet those giant speakers really miss you.
41:06Mock me all you want.
41:08Once you've heard Burden in my hand on a vintage Technics SL-1200 turntable
41:12through Sansui SPG-300 speakers, you will never be the same.
41:16I'll take your word for it.
41:21Ah, hello.
41:22Hey.
41:25Ah.
41:27What is this?
41:28A spontaneous Laguna Beach getaway.
41:31You and me a couple of dinks.
41:34Excuse me?
41:35Dual income, no kids.
41:36Oh.
41:37Is this, uh, is this your way of looking at the bright side?
41:40It is.
41:41I also think we should volunteer.
41:45James said he'd help us find the perfect program.
41:47I think that is a wonderful idea.
41:53So, no more grenades?
41:55Just the one I'm about to set off in the bedroom with you.
42:00You happy with the way that came out?
42:02No, but you're going to be happy with how I know that's not going to work either.
42:07You want to go have sex or you want to keep trying?
42:09On one hand, I'm no quitter.
42:12On the other hand...
42:14No.
42:54Damn it.
