00:01Previously on The Rookie.
00:02Don't puke on him.
00:03This is not my first O.D.
00:05I had this girlfriend back in high school.
00:07I found her after prom in a bathroom,
00:09and four years ago, I was diagnosed with cancer.
00:11Given our continued fallout from the mess
00:14Monica and Blair London created,
00:16Wesley Evers has been assigned here
00:18to make sure we're flying right.
00:20I'm supposed to work next to Angel Lopez
00:21when all I can think about is how much I want to...
00:23Malvado is a myth,
00:25the criminal equivalent of the boogeyman.
00:27Well, apparently, Southern Front hired him
00:29to kill Jason.
00:30We have the same goal.
00:31All you have to do is leave,
00:33and your problems go away.
00:34I can't do that.
00:39I know you like oat milk,
00:41but the store was out, so I got almond.
00:43I hope that's okay.
00:46Hello, my beautiful wife.
00:48Hey, just wanted to check in
00:49and see how it's going
00:50with my newer replacement model.
00:52Hi, Bailey.
00:53Yeah, this lady's not a replacement.
00:54She's a bait.
00:55And no one could replace you,
00:57because you are awesome.
00:59Now, is this really necessary?
01:01We have U.S. Marshals
01:02watching the house 24-7,
01:04and Jason is being hunted by a hitman.
01:07Can I please come home?
01:08Yeah, you can 100% come home
01:10if you can look me in the eye
01:11and tell me that Jason's not
01:12a relentless psychopath
01:14that would risk everything
01:15to get back at you for betraying him.
01:17Okay, fine.
01:17You win.
01:18But I'm climbing the walls here.
01:20No offense.
01:21None taken.
01:22I totally get it.
01:23I mean, with Rachel here,
01:24it is a little snug.
01:25Hey.
01:26Oh, so have we had any movement
01:28on the mystery woman
01:28that Jason is supposedly shacked up with?
01:30No, but given Jason's history,
01:32I would say she's probably
01:34the lonely wealthy type.
01:35Yeah, which would give him the resources
01:36to stay under the radar.
01:38Okay.
01:39Well, if I can't come home,
01:40can you please pack up some of my things
01:42and give them to Lucy?
01:43I'll text you a list.
01:44Yeah, of course.
01:45And, uh...
01:49Maybe a little later,
01:50we can find some personal time?
01:53There will be no personal time
01:55until we're in our own bed.
01:56I will have Jason caught by tonight.
02:03Hey, I just want to reiterate,
02:05I know what I did last week was wrong,
02:07and I take no delight
02:08in any of the public fanfare
02:10around my hero moment,
02:11that our hero moment
02:14that we had together.
02:15I just...
02:15I fell out of my groove
02:16with the whole T.O. swap thing,
02:19so I'm just...
02:20I'm happy to be back with my OG.
02:22Oh, God.
02:24No one likes to suck up Ridley.
02:26Let's go.
02:26Yes, ma'am.
02:27Anything you want to add
02:28to this sad mea culpa?
02:29I'm not looking for any extra credit, sir.
02:31I just want to be prepared as possible
02:33for whatever the day holds.
02:34Preparation is only half the battle.
02:35All I care about
02:36is how you perform on the streets
02:37when your adrenaline's high
02:38and you want to be an action star.
02:40Yes, sir.
02:40I'll keep the wild horse locked
02:41in the stable, sir.
02:45Check your phone
02:45on your own time, please.
02:46Yes, ma'am.
02:49Oh, wow.
02:49They just keep coming in.
02:51Okay, seriously.
02:52What's going on right now?
02:53I'm sorry.
02:54I'm just...
02:54I'm waiting on my test results
02:55to come in.
02:56I'm a little bit paranoid.
02:57Oh, that's right.
02:58Well, um, did you get any news?
03:00No.
03:01These are just notifications
03:02that my name's being mentioned
03:03somewhere online.
03:05Are you serious?
03:07Yeah, sorry.
03:08I'll put it away.
03:09Oh, okay.
03:10Well, they just...
03:11They're good.
03:12They're nice comments.
03:13Airplane mode.
03:14Right.
03:16Hey, Mr. Evers.
03:18Welcome back.
03:19Hi.
03:22Sean.
03:23Hey.
03:23Just wanted to be here
03:24to welcome you back.
03:25The office wasn't the same without you.
03:27I mean, I'm glad to be back,
03:28as is the entire Mid-Wilshire Station.
03:29Apparently, they don't appreciate oversight.
03:31Yeah.
03:32Well, look, I'm sure you have a lot
03:33to catch up on,
03:34but the district attorney election
03:36is right around the corner,
03:37and I just wanted to be sure
03:38I could count on your endorsement.
03:40Hm.
03:41Wesley.
03:41Oh.
03:42You are aging backwards.
03:44I just wanted to say welcome back,
03:46and make sure you're all squared,
03:48pet-wise.
03:49Oh, thank you.
03:50Nice try, Vivian,
03:51but you're not gonna buy your way
03:53to a win here.
03:53Don't you find an insecure man
03:55such a turn-off?
03:57I am light years from insecure.
04:00Anyway, I would love your endorsement.
04:02Okay.
04:03Okay.
04:03Bye.
04:04Okay.
04:05You know, in my younger days,
04:07she really would've gotten under my skin.
04:09Right.
04:10Definitely not now.
04:11No.
04:12Hey, Sean.
04:14You have five minutes to talk about
04:16something that's been eating away
04:17at the very core of who I am?
04:19Well, that sounds like it's gonna take
04:20longer than five minutes,
04:21but yeah, sure.
04:22Okay.
04:23Thanks.
04:24You're really the only person
04:25I can talk to about this.
04:27Um...
04:28I heard something on the Blair London tapes
04:30that has got me spinning.
04:32I thought you turned in
04:33your final report on those.
04:34No, I did.
04:35Uh, it's not criminal.
04:36It's...
04:37You know Keith Graham from Mid-Wilshire?
04:39Yeah, sure.
04:40He's a great guy.
04:41Annoyingly handsome.
04:42I mean, he's a solid detective.
04:43You were seeing Blair?
04:43Yeah.
04:44And during his sessions,
04:46he revealed that he has recurring...
04:50intimate dreams about Angela.
04:52Yikes.
04:53Yeah.
04:55Well, look, you know that legally
04:57you cannot divulge any of that to her.
04:59That's a violation of his privacy
05:01and that puts the two of them
05:03in an incredibly uncomfortable position.
05:04I know.
05:05But it's driving me crazy.
05:06Why?
05:07Wes, I, you know,
05:08it seems to me it comes down to
05:10how secure you are in your marriage.
05:12He's definitely not the first guy
05:13to hit on your hot wife.
05:14He certainly won't be the last.
05:17Wait.
05:19Did you?
05:21I plead the fifth.
05:38All right.
05:39This is not going to be easy when the CHP calls for mutual aid,
05:43usually because things have gotten messy.
05:46Even for LA.
05:50Okay.
05:50Now,
05:52wrecks like these
05:53are all about problem-solving and accuracy.
05:55We have to be exact
05:56with every word in our reports.
05:57Our measurements can't be off,
05:59not even by an inch.
06:00That would mean a change in liability
06:02and then a half-decent lawyer
06:03could use that
06:04to discredit our entire investigation.
06:06Oh, that's mildly terrifying.
06:07Which is why I'm making you primary.
06:09What?
06:10It's your fears, Officer Juarez.
06:12But I...
06:12You can handle this.
06:13Tell me you can handle this.
06:14I-I can handle it.
06:17I can handle it.
06:18This gonna be as fun
06:20as putting socks on a rooster.
06:22Come to Chippy's.
06:23He's like 50 feet away.
06:24He for sure could've walked.
06:28Afternoon.
06:29Thanks for the assist.
06:30Where do you want us?
06:31Given the circumstances,
06:32we think this should be an LAPD-led investigation.
06:34No problem.
06:35Where will CHP be stationed?
06:37We'll be helping out at the off-ramp.
06:39Oh.
06:39Over in the shade.
06:40We're leaving grateful citizens
06:41from bumper-to-bumper traffic.
06:43That's nice.
06:43We just want the freeways up and running
06:45as quickly as possible.
06:49I told Juarez she's got primary on this.
06:52Bold.
06:53You either want to end her career right now
06:54or you honestly believe in her.
06:55What do you want us to do?
06:57Okay, well, first thing first,
06:58we-we render safety and aid to all victims.
07:01That means that our number one priority
07:03is just clearing a path for the next ambulance.
07:05I gotta take this.
07:07Yeah.
07:09What's happening?
07:09But were you able to get that stuff from Lucy?
07:12She was gonna come by here at lunch and bring it to me.
07:14You forgot.
07:15Yeah, sorry.
07:16This morning's been just a little chaotic.
07:18But you stay put.
07:19I promise.
07:19I'll get it to you tonight or tomorrow at the latest.
07:22Okay.
07:22Yeah.
07:23Stay safe.
07:23I love you.
07:24Love you too.
07:34How far, Boop?
07:3718.6 feet, sir.
07:39Sure about that?
07:39Positive, sir.
07:40Ridley, how far?
07:44Uh, 20...no, that's 20.1, 20.2.
07:47It just keeps-it keeps moving.
07:49Oh, I have to-I have to stand still.
07:51Yeah, okay.
07:5220.2.
07:53Okay, that's right.
07:54That's right.
07:54Hey, what's next?
07:55Okay, well, now, I mean, now you take a million photos.
07:59Just make sure you get the scene from every angle.
08:01You search the cars for any, uh, open containers, alcohol, drugs.
08:04If there's any indication that this is a DUI, that changes everything.
08:08Okay.
08:09Okay?
08:09Okay.
08:13Yeah.
08:16Yeah.
08:16Yeah.
08:20Yeah.
08:20Yeah.
08:20Well, hey, hey.
08:21Did you get pictures from underneath the car and above as well?
08:24No.
08:26No, sorry, sorry.
08:27It's my bad.
08:27I-I understand there's a lot going on right now, but I can't be holding your hand every
08:31step of the way.
08:32Yeah.
08:33Yeah.
08:34It's time to take the training wheels off there, Ridley.
08:38Can you just lay off?
08:42You have no idea what anybody's going through, okay?
08:44My girlfriend died in high school in a car accident, and this whole thing is bringing
08:48up a lot of bad memories.
08:49I'm sorry, dude.
08:50I didn't know.
08:50Just think next time before you speak, okay?
08:54Officer Patton, you clear this car?
08:56Yes, sir.
08:57The driver was critical.
08:58Went off in the first ambulance.
08:59You didn't think to make note of this?
09:02I'm sorry, sir.
09:03I thought we were checking for beer cans, not firearms.
09:06I mean, back home, every call you pull over, have a gun in the glove box.
09:11Bag this, please.
09:15Juarez?
09:16Yes, sir?
09:16What about this car?
09:17Do we have any information on this driver?
09:19Uh, no.
09:19Nobody's talked to him yet, but it is registered to a Harrison Novak.
09:29Officers!
09:30Yes, sir.
09:30Double time.
09:31Coming.
09:31You're right there.
09:33This is the LAPD.
09:34Is anyone in there?
09:35We're gonna get you out.
09:36Just hang on.
09:38Please, please, please.
09:40Oh, my God.
09:41We need an ambulance!
09:46I had never seen her before, but he knew me.
09:50He was waiting.
09:51He called out Savannah, and when I turned, he spit me in the eyes with something.
09:55It burned really bad.
09:58Um, I tried to run, but, um, he hit me over the head, and the next thing I knew, I
10:05was tied up in the trunk.
10:08And we drove around forever.
10:11It felt like hours.
10:13And, uh, he was singing.
10:15He kept replaying the same dumb pop songs, singing along at the top of his lungs without a care in
10:22the world.
10:22Well, you're safe now, okay?
10:24And the good news is we know who he is. Officers are kicking down his door as we speak.
10:31Police!
10:32Harrison Novak, we have a warrant for your arrest.
10:35Ridley.
10:56Clear!
10:56Clear!
10:57Clear!
10:58Clear!
11:01Clear!
11:01Clear!
11:01This place is giving me the creeps.
11:03Feels like teenage girls live here, not a 40-year-old dude.
11:06Get used to it. We're gonna be here for a minute.
11:07There's only property registered in his name.
11:09We need to search every inch of this place.
11:11So glove up, tear it apart.
11:13Yes, sir.
11:17How bad?
11:17Physically, she should be okay.
11:19Guy didn't have her out in public and kept in the trunk for hours.
11:22Being a woman is consistently terrifying.
11:24Then you have a daughter and it only gets worse.
11:25Harrison Novak was arrested three years ago for burglary and assault.
11:29He broke into a woman's home and choked her.
11:31Seemed open and shut, but evidence was compromised
11:33and the prosecution lost the case at trial to Novak's hotshot lawyer.
11:37Who the hell was that?
11:39Your husband.
11:40Yeah, I recognize the case.
11:41The cops screwed up the chain of evidence and I got him acquitted.
11:43Why?
11:44We found a girl in his trunk in pretty bad shape.
11:46He's currently at large, so if you can give us anything, that might help.
11:50I'll pull his file and get it to you ASAP.
11:53Let me know if there's anything else I can do.
11:55Thanks.
11:59You remember the Harrison Novak case?
12:00Uh, yeah.
12:01Of course.
12:02That's the only time I lost the trial.
12:03Why?
12:04Novak just abducted a woman.
12:05Maybe not the first.
12:07Well, that's not good.
12:09For either of us.
12:11Huh.
12:18Hey, I'm sorry again for not reporting the gun,
12:20but I did find out the owner had purchased illegally and it was registered.
12:24That's not the point.
12:25The cars are frequently broken into by criminals who do not have a license to carry.
12:29A weapon not registered to them is a win for the criminal community.
12:31Understood.
12:32It won't happen again.
12:34You know what?
12:34I'm gonna recommend you undergo additional training and testing all weekend,
12:37plus an additional three hours a day for the next two weeks.
12:40What?
12:40It was a simple mistake.
12:41Look, if I can't trust you to clock loaded weapons in plain sight,
12:44what else can't I trust you with?
13:05What's wrong?
13:06I lost her.
13:07She left the apartment.
13:08I got blocked in by a truck.
13:10Hello?
13:11Come on.
13:12Come on.
13:13Come on.
13:13Come on.
13:16She's ducking my call.
13:18Well, you can track her phone, right?
13:29He's headed towards Echo Park, the firehouse. Punch it.
13:37Oh, ho-ho, this guy is totally a psycho.
13:41He wore his outside shoes right in the bedroom.
13:46Wait, these things gotta be caked in evidence, right?
13:48Potentially. Take a photo and then bag them.
13:52Hey, Ridley, can I ask you a question about something from earlier?
13:56Yeah, that's not really my favorite way to start a conversation, but sure.
14:00A few weeks ago, you told me that your girlfriend overdosed.
14:03And then earlier, I swear, I thought I heard you tell Miles that she died in a car accident.
14:07Yeah. Sorry, I should have made that more clear.
14:11Cher didn't actually die from the OD. We got super lucky.
14:14My friend's daddy's a doctor, and he came home just in time with some naloxone.
14:19And then she died in a car accident?
14:21No, that was a different girlfriend a year later.
14:24Savannah wasn't a one-off. I found this hidden in the hallway closet.
14:28Oh, my God.
14:32More victims.
14:42Hello?
14:42Hey, Counselor. Harrison Novak.
14:46You helped me out of a jam a few years ago?
14:48Of course. I'm just finishing up a meeting. Can I call you right back?
14:52That's okay. I can hold. I got time.
14:55I've got Harrison Novak on the phone. He wants me to represent him.
14:57What's my ethical obligation here? Do I have to tell him I'm no longer a defense attorney?
15:01Uh, no. But as a prosecutor, the only thing you can't do is agree to represent him.
15:04Other than that, you can tell him anything he needs to hear to keep him on the line.
15:07Okay.
15:07Angela, it's Del Monte. I've got your husband here.
15:09He's talking to Novak on the cell phone right now.
15:11Hot damn. Setting up a trace now.
15:13Okay, I'm putting out speaker.
15:15Wesley, just keep him talking as long as you can. I'll mute my phone so we can listen.
15:20All right, great. I'm going over to him now.
15:23Sorry to keep you waiting. How can I help?
15:25Yeah, no problems. Look, I know you're a very busy guy, so I will skip the foreplay.
15:29I was super impressed with how you handled my case back in the day.
15:32And I find myself in a bit of fresh legal jeopardy.
15:36How bad are we talking?
15:38I don't like to use that word. Bad.
15:40So, judgy. Good. Bad. Right. Wrong.
15:44Well, just choices and decisions repressed people use to keep more free-thinking individuals in a box.
15:51Right. Well, I wasn't trying to judge.
15:53I just need to know a little more of what I'm getting into before I commit.
15:56Well, I can tell you this much. Most people might not like what I do, who I am,
16:00but everyone inflicts and contributes to some level of pain and suffering.
16:05Might step on a bug or cook a steak.
16:07Let's do my version of that.
16:10Going on a bigger, more connected level with larger and more conscious animals.
16:14Are you saying you've killed people?
16:16Are you saying you're my lawyer?
16:17Mr. Novak, I'm just trying to make sure we're both on the same page.
16:20This is taking longer than I'd wanted, and I have a bit of a ticking clock problem.
16:23I'd wanted to achieve so much more by the end of my story.
16:26A certain number of accomplishments.
16:29To make the world take notice.
16:31So, now I find myself having to get into the volume business.
16:34Wait, why don't we get together in person and discuss?
16:37I gotta go.
16:38But don't worry.
16:38You'll probably see me later tonight on your TV.
16:40Wait.
16:41Ciao for now.
16:43Please, tell me you got a location.
16:45He's calling from Sorority Row.
16:47He's gonna pull a Ted Bundy.
16:49I'm sending every cop in the city, but I'm not sure we're gonna make it there in time.
16:52Say a prayer.
17:23Who is it?
17:24I, uh, Melanie?
17:28I think I have your package.
17:29It got delivered to my place by mistake.
17:34For you.
17:35Thanks so much.
17:54Police!
18:01Step away!
18:15Everybody okay?
18:16If any of you ladies are looking to join the LAPD,
18:19I'd like to offer a letter of recommendation
18:20written by me personally.
18:36Get back, this is a crime scene.
18:38Let me through him with the DA's office.
18:39I need to get in there.
18:40Angela! Hold on, Angela!
18:42Stand down! He's allowed to be here.
18:44Hey, what happened in there?
18:45Please tell me no one's dead.
18:46No one is dead.
18:47In fact, he got his ass kicked.
18:49Hey, it's okay.
18:51You did good.
18:52You're the reason we got this guy.
18:54I'm also the reason that he's been free to kill innocent women
18:56for the past three years.
18:57His actions are not your fault.
18:59You were just doing your job.
19:02Hey, thought you were too busy for me.
19:05You changed your mind.
19:06I'm not a defense lawyer anymore.
19:09Prosecutor now.
19:09Tricky.
19:11That's how the cops got here so quick.
19:13Yeah, you're lucky we did.
19:14Those girls are about to kill you.
19:15Get in.
19:17We should get him back to the station as soon as possible.
19:19He is a talker.
19:20Yeah, go. I'll be fine.
19:21You sure?
19:23Yeah.
19:24Go.
19:25Hmm.
19:30Go...
19:32Go.
19:48You're sorry.
19:53flashes record a thing.
19:53You look like, you said something used to do,
20:04Put your hands on the wheel.
20:08I'm impressed.
20:10Like I care.
20:10Who are you?
20:11Why are you following me?
20:13Did Jason send you?
20:14No.
20:15I'm the man hunting your ex-husband.
20:19Malvado.
20:20I'm not your enemy.
20:21We want the same thing.
20:23Jason dead.
20:26You're a wanted man.
20:27I should call 911.
20:28Go ahead.
20:30Have me arrested.
20:31And spend the rest of your life worrying about Jason.
20:34Or you could let me go and never have to worry about him again.
20:45May I?
20:55This number cannot be traced, but messages will get back to me.
21:00If you hear of Jason's whereabouts, let me know.
21:05And I will put an end to your nightmare.
21:29Hey, you okay?
21:30Hey.
21:31Yeah, I'm fine.
21:32What were you thinking?
21:33Do you have any idea how dangerous this was?
21:36Oh, look.
21:37My phone is ringing.
21:38The idea was that you stay in the apartment.
21:40All of a sudden, I got marshals blowing up my phone, telling me you've gone missing.
21:43You almost gave me a heart attack.
21:45Wait.
21:45How did the marshals know I left?
21:47Are they tracking my phone?
21:48We had a guy posted outside Lucy's apartment.
21:50To spy on me?
21:51To protect you.
21:52In case Jason saw through the ruse and went after you there.
21:55Can we get back in the shop, please?
21:56Why didn't you tell me?
21:57That's not the point.
21:59What were you even doing down here in the first place?
22:01Well, it doesn't matter.
22:09Before we get started, I'd like to get us on the same page as to how we speak to each
22:14other.
22:15I mean, we may have, well, differing philosophies, but it doesn't mean we can't be cordial to
22:22one another.
22:22You don't make the rules here.
22:25I think I kind of do.
22:27I mean, you must have a lot of very distressed families who are desperate for answers, and
22:32I am willing to tell you everything.
22:35But I expect to be treated like a person, not a monster.
22:38Sure.
22:39We can do that.
22:40We will just listen.
22:41Whatever you want to tell us.
22:45Mison?
22:46Yes, you're being recorded.
22:51It's not.
22:53The killing.
22:57You'd think it would be.
22:59It's the least interesting part.
23:01The anticipation.
23:04The planning.
23:06That puts wind in my sails.
23:09The killing itself is more like eating, for me.
23:12Necessary, but not as holistically stimulating as the lead-up.
23:22Now, hunting my victims, really feeling their fear, that just fills me up.
23:38When the killing's done, I tend to feel a little empty inside.
23:45Lonely, even.
23:46So then I have to do it again.
23:51These are human beings you are talking about.
23:54You don't feel any kind of remorse.
23:56Do you feel remorse when you eat a burger?
23:59What did you do with the bodies?
24:01Buried them.
24:02Where?
24:05How about I show you?
24:13All right, you can stay here till the end of shift, and then Lucy will be here to bring
24:17you back to her apartment.
24:19I'm your wife, John.
24:20I don't work for you.
24:21In case you've forgotten, I literally spent the last three weeks doing tactical military
24:25training in Germany.
24:27I don't need you to protect me.
24:29Nolan, Novak gave up the location of his dump site.
24:31You just on the way, I need you guys to meet him there.
24:33Right, um, we'll finish this later.
24:35I promise.
24:36Uh, would you watch her, please?
24:40You're a grown-ass woman.
24:41I'm not babysitting you.
25:10Hey, we're here.
25:17Hey.
25:19Hey, there.
25:20You really want to be shooting from the outside.
25:22I'm completely backlit.
25:23Hey, no offense, but if you want to have an easy time selling this doc to Hulu or whatever,
25:27you want to see my face and not, uh, random cops.
25:31It's what people actually care about.
25:34So good here.
25:35Hey, we got something.
26:05Where are they going?
26:06I don't know.
26:09I didn't even bury anyone over there.
26:26They're all wrapped the same.
26:27They must be yours.
26:28I swear to God, all my kills are back there.
26:32These aren't mine.
26:39I'm going to have nightmares about that burial site.
26:42Shouldn't I be more hardened by now?
26:44I should, right?
26:45No, your empathy is your best quality.
26:47Really?
26:48Best quality?
26:49Well, there are certain others best discussed in a non-professional setting.
26:56Thanks for coming right over.
26:57Yeah, of course.
26:58You saw the bodies?
26:59Yes.
26:59We didn't unwrap any of them for fear of compromising DNA evidence.
27:03They're all being sent to our morgue facility downtown.
27:05Give us the room, guys.
27:07Hey, good to see you again.
27:09Likewise.
27:10Wish it was over a cafe americano, but here we are.
27:13Hi, nice to see you.
27:14Uh, who wants to start?
27:15I will.
27:15As I told Garza, it seems clear that we have a second serial killer at large.
27:19Harrison Novak has been falling all over himself to take credit for his kills,
27:23but he seemed genuinely shocked when we uncovered those bodies.
27:26You think he knows who the second killer is?
27:27Maybe, but it feels unlikely.
27:29I agree with Naila.
27:30Novak seemed totally thrown by the bodies
27:32and worried that this killer would somehow overshadow him.
27:35Okay, so what's our first step?
27:37Mine is a thorough examination of all the victims,
27:40which will take days, if not weeks.
27:42In the short term, we need to try to figure out a connection between the two killers.
27:45Well, let's say Harper's intuition is right
27:47and Novak doesn't know the identity of the second killer.
27:50I mean, it can't be a coincidence that number two
27:53used the same green tarp to bury his victims.
27:56He's clearly piggybacking off of Novak's burial site, right?
27:58Which would indicate that killer number two
28:00is trying to hide his crimes inside Novak's.
28:03Which is the complete opposite of Harrison Novak,
28:05a killer who's desperate for recognition.
28:07I mean, but how did number two know about the burial site?
28:10I mean, they must have crossed paths somewhere, right?
28:12Theoretically, but without even the slightest hint of where to start looking,
28:15we're talking about an infinitely large haystack
28:17hiding a very small needle.
28:18Hope I'm not interrupting,
28:19but I might have a smaller haystack for you to search.
28:21I dug through my notes from the Harrison Novak case file.
28:23When we first met, he mentioned that he had spent some time
28:25in a psychiatric facility.
28:27That wasn't in his file.
28:28Well, he was 15.
28:29Voluntary admission, not criminal.
28:30Which facility?
28:32Westview, out in Chatsworth.
28:33We've been there before.
28:34Director's a pill.
28:35We'll go talk to her.
28:36Do you mind expediting a warrant?
28:37She's not going to give us anything unless she has to.
28:39Yeah, consider it done.
28:41You do know not everyone suffering from mental illness
28:44is a serial killer.
28:45Of course, but we did just arrest one,
28:47and he was treated at this facility 15 years ago.
28:50So we're not just here because we heard
28:51how personable the staff is.
28:53Okay, listen, we know that this is a sensitive subject,
28:56but most serial killers suffer from some sort of psychosis
28:59or antisocial personality disorder.
29:01Nice!
29:02Which Psychology 101 book did you pull that from?
29:05I'm about to put her in a different kind of hospital.
29:07With all due respect,
29:08we just pulled more than a dozen bodies out of a field.
29:11And now we have a court order for your patient records.
29:13Either you give us access to those records now
29:15or later, after you spent the weekend in jail.
29:19Are you aware people suffering from mental illness
29:21are actually more likely to be victims of violent crime?
29:24Yes, but that's not relevant at this moment.
29:26So are you going to give us the list of patients and staff
29:29who are here with Novak or not?
29:31It'll take a while to assemble.
29:33You have 12 hours.
29:35And we don't do grace periods.
29:38I really thought you were going to hurt her there for a minute.
29:40Me too.
29:41And you weren't exactly playing good cop either.
29:43Whatever gets the job done.
29:54What?
29:59Same green tarp.
30:00You want to go in?
30:01As opposed to calling in 100 cops to do it for us?
30:04No guts, no glory.
30:09Control, this is Detective Lopez.
30:11Harper and I are code six.
30:13On a follow-up at Westview Psychiatric Hospital.
30:15Start up another unit in case we come across anything.
30:17Copy that, Detective.
30:39You ready?
30:42Ready.
30:43Ready.
30:44Ready.
30:58you okay yeah I'm just regretting my choice of footwear I can't believe they

34:37Naila, dear, are you okay?
34:41No.
34:42He injected me with something.
34:44I can't feel my legs.
34:45Okay, hang on.
34:46There's an ambulance on the way.
34:48This is Lopez, officer down, Westview basement,
34:51conscious and breathing but injected with some type of
34:53paralytic and can't move her legs.
34:55We need those EMTs down here now.
34:56Copy that and check that they're on her way.
34:58It's gonna be okay.
35:11How you doing?
35:12Better.
35:13My feeling's mostly back.
35:14My best guess is short-term paralytic.
35:18I'll just try not to think too hard about how dirty
35:20all the needles were down there.
35:22Probably for the best.
35:23Any sign of our suspect?
35:25No.
35:25He clearly had an escape route.
35:27Psych hospital just sent the list of patients and employees.
35:30It's a lot of names.
35:32FBI's digging in.
35:33How's the guy we pulled out of there?
35:34Remy Darden.
35:37He's in rough shape.
35:38Hopefully he's stable enough in the morning to talk to us.
35:41And James will be here soon.
35:43I didn't tell him what really happened,
35:45just that you suffered a minor injury on the job.
35:47You're welcome.
35:48Thanks.
35:50You wanna talk about how scary that was?
35:52Nope.
35:54You wanna hug?
35:55No.
35:59Yes.
36:13Nolan.
36:14My office.
36:19Yes, sir.
36:20I got a call from Detroit PD.
36:23They pulled prints from a liquor store robbery last night.
36:25Were they Pete's?
36:26They were Pete's, weren't they?
36:28Jason Wireless.
36:30Detroit, Michigan?
36:31I ran a VICAP search.
36:33There was another hit on Jason's prints two days before outside of Provo.
36:37Looks like Mel Votto's got him spooked.
36:38He's been heading east, getting as far away from L.A. as he can.
36:42I'm a little surprised he picked survival over revenge, but I'll take it.
36:45I gave Detroit PD your info.
36:47They'll call if they have anything more.
36:49Thank you, sir.
36:51Hold up.
36:51One more thing.
36:53I've been overprotective, and if Bailey divorces me, no one will blame her.
36:58If I'm in your shoes, I'm just as crazed.
37:01But you have to live your lives.
37:03Yes, sir.
37:11Where do you think you're going?
37:14Home feels like the wrong answer, but I'm not sure why.
37:17Sawed off shotgun, dagger, nunchucks, AR-15.
37:20Which two violate the same penal code?
37:22We doing this now.
37:23You need to know the law cold, no matter how tired you are.
37:25No matter how many of the things are going on.
37:26Right.
37:28Sawed off shotgun and dagger.
37:30Violation of 1-2-0-2-0, possession of an illegal weapon.
37:33What about nunchucks?
37:34Formerly a violation of 1-2-0-2-0, but currently no violation at all.
37:38They became legal in 2023.
37:40Good.
37:41You're dismissed.
37:43Sergeant, I appreciate it.
37:45How hard you're on me and how dedicated you are at doing the job right.
37:48And I swear I'm not kissing up.
37:50Where I'm from, a lot of cops don't have that same love of diligence.
37:53Some were transplants where I fell from other departments.
37:56They didn't care the way that you do.
37:58You know, I guess I really understand how much I had to learn.
38:01So, thank you.
38:04Dismissed.
38:04Yes, sir.
38:06It's just around the corner between love and earth.
38:12Heaven.
38:15I know that logically, intellectually, even legally, I'm not to blame for Novak's crimes,
38:21but emotionally, I'm struggling.
38:24Well, you're not a robot, Wes.
38:26I mean, I would actually be more concerned if you felt nothing after all this.
38:30But on the bright side, at least you've forgotten about the detective who has the hots for your wife, right?
38:35Well, now I'm thinking about him.
38:36Anyway.
38:38What is this?
38:39You're having a wake for Sean's political career.
38:41Didn't invite me.
38:42I made a sound only a bat could hear. I figured that would do the trick.
38:45Oh.
38:46It is so nice to see you retain your sense of humor given the end of your campaign.
38:51Huh.
38:52I mean, who would elect a DA who is so instrumental in letting a serial killer go free?
38:56Okay.
38:57You and I both know that what happened is far more complicated than that.
39:01Of course.
39:02But voters don't do complicated.
39:04You should withdraw before you get embarrassed at the polls.
39:08Mm-hmm.
39:08It's really nice to have you back.
39:10Mm-hmm.
39:13She's lovely.
39:14Mm-hmm.
39:15Oh.
39:16Third down and three inside the 25-yard line.
39:19Here's the stay.
39:20And he hands off to number two with a...
39:23Stay.
39:25Hey.
39:26Hey.
39:27Um, how much do you trust the LAPD background checks?
39:29I'm sorry.
39:30Why are you at my door asking me that?
39:32Come on.
39:32Okay, so...
39:34Seth told me that his high school girlfriend died of an OD, but then he told Miles that she died
39:38in a car accident.
39:39I confronted him about it.
39:41He covered it pretty well, said that they were different girlfriends, but I...
39:44That...
39:44That seems pretty unlikely.
39:46I just can't shake this feeling that there's something off with him.
39:49Look, our background checks are pretty invasive.
39:51Andy would have had to pass a polygraph test, which we both know those are illuminating.
39:56If he was hiding something, I think it would have come out.
39:59Yeah, you're right.
40:00But you're still not satisfied.
40:01No, I...
40:04I'm sorry.
40:05I...
40:05Okay.
40:06Oh.
40:07Oh, my gosh.
40:09Here I go, Joe.
40:12You like a butt scratch?
40:14I miss you.
40:16Feelings mutual.
40:21Look, I know it's late, and I don't have much in the way of food, but I could order something.
40:28Um...
40:29Oh.
40:33No.
40:33No.
40:35No.
40:35I should, um...
40:36I'm gonna go, and so have a good night.
40:40You too.
40:41Okay.
40:42Okay.
40:43Okay.
40:43All right.
40:46Ow.
40:56I'm happy to come back whenever you need me.
40:59I think, though, uh, we're all set.
41:00Thanks for the offer.
41:03I'm happy you're back.
41:04Oh.
41:05Thank you so much.
41:06Yeah.
41:08All righty.
41:09Bye, guys.
41:10Bye.
41:10See you soon.
41:16I am sorry.
41:18I am sorry for treating you like a damsel in distress when you are anything but.
41:23You are strong, you are smart, and you are more than capable of handling yourself.
41:32Sometimes it's just hard to figure out what kind of help you need from me.
41:36Well, I knew you were coming from a good place.
41:39I just, in the future, I recommend asking instead of telling.
41:43Agreed.
41:44Let me try.
41:46Would you care to spend some quality personal time with me in our quality personal bed?
41:53Perfect.
41:56I'm just gonna get us a water.
41:58You know, for after.
41:59Excellent.
42:00Hydrate.
42:29Dammit.
42:29And.
42:38And.
42:42And.
42:43And.
42:44And.
42:44And.
42:44And.
42:45And.
42:47And.
42:47And.
42:48And.
42:52And.
42:55Damn it.
