00:01Previously on The Rookie.
00:02Don't puke on him.
00:03This is not my first OD.
00:05I had this girlfriend back in high school.
00:07I found her after prom in a bathroom.
00:09Four years ago, I was diagnosed with cancer.
00:11Given our continued fallout from the mess Monica and Blair London created,
00:16Wesley Evers has been assigned here to make sure we're flying right.
00:20I'm supposed to work next to Angel Lopez when all I can think about is how much I want him.
00:24Malvado is a myth, the criminal equivalent of the boogeyman.
00:27Well, apparently Southern Front hired him to kill Jason.
00:30We have the same goal. All you have to do is leave and your problems go away.
00:34I can't do that.
00:39I know you like oat milk, but 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 and see how it's going with my newer replacement model.
00:52Hi, Bailey.
00:53Yeah, this lady's not a replacement. She's a bait.
00:55And no one could replace you because you are awesome.
00:59Now, is this really necessary?
01:01We have U.S. Marshals watching 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 if you can look me in the eye
01:11and tell me that Jason's not a relentless psychopath
01:14who would risk everything to get back at you for betraying him.
01:16Okay, fine. You win. But I'm climbing the walls here.
01:20No offense.
01:21Gun taken.
01:22I totally get it. I mean, with Rachel here, it is a little snug.
01:25Hey.
01:26Oh, so have we had any movement on the mystery woman that Jason is supposedly shacked up with?
01:30No, but given Jason's history, I would say she's probably the lonely wealthy type.
01:35Yeah, which would give him the resources to stay under the radar.
01:38Okay. Well, if I can't come home, can you please pack up some of my things and give them to
01:42Lucy?
01:43I'll text you a list.
01:44Yeah, of course.
01:45And, uh, maybe a little later we can find some personal time.
01:53There will be no personal time until we're in our own bed.
01:56I will have Jason caught by tonight.
02:03Hey, I just want to reiterate, I know what I did last week was wrong,
02:07and I take no delight in any of the public fanfare around my hero moment.
02:11That our-our hero moment that we had together.
02:15I just-I fell out of my groove with the whole TO swap thing.
02:20So I'm just-I'm happy to be back with my OG.
02:22Oh, God.
02:24No one likes to suck up Ridley. Let's go.
02:26Yes, ma'am.
02:27Anything you want to add to this sad mea culpa?
02:29I'm not looking for any extra credit, sir.
02:31I just want to be prepared as possible for whatever the day hopes.
02:34Preparation is only half the battle.
02:36All I care about is how you perform on the streets when your adrenaline's high
02:38and you want to be an action star.
02:40Yes, sir. I'll keep the wild horse locked in the stable, sir.
02:45Check your phone on your own time, please.
02:46Yes, ma'am.
02:49Oh, wow. I just keep coming in.
02:51Okay, seriously. What's going on right now?
02:53I'm sorry. I'm just-I'm waiting on my test results to 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 that my name's being mentioned somewhere online.
03:05Are you serious?
03:07Yeah, sorry. I'll put it away.
03:09Okay.
03:10Wow, they just-they're good. They're nice comments.
03:14Airplane mode.
03:14Right.
03:17Hey, Mr. Evers.
03:18Welcome back.
03:19Hi.
03:22Sean, hey.
03:23Just wanted to be here to welcome you back.
03:25The office wasn't the same without you.
03:26I mean, I'm glad to be back, as is the entire Midwilshire Station.
03:29Apparently, they don't appreciate oversight.
03:31Yeah.
03:32Well, look, I'm sure you have a lot to catch up on,
03:34but the district attorney election is right around the corner,
03:37and I just wanted to be sure I could count on your endorsement, man.
03:40Hmm.
03:41Wesley, oh, you are aging backwards.
03:44Oh.
03:44I just wanted to say welcome back, and make sure you're all squared pen-wise.
03:49Oh, thank you.
03:50Nice try, Vivian, but you're not gonna buy your way to a win here.
03:53Don't you find an insecure man such 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, she really would've gotten under my skin.
04:09Right.
04:10Definitely not now.
04:11No.
04:12Hey, Sean.
04:14Do you have five minutes to talk about something
04:16that's been eating away at the very core of who I am?
04:19Well, that sounds like it's gonna take longer than five minutes,
04:21but, yeah, sure, okay.
04:23Thanks.
04:24You're really the only person I 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 your final report on those.
04:34No, I did.
04:35Uh, it's-it's not criminal.
04:36It's...
04:37You know Keith Graham from Midwilshire?
04:39Yeah, sure.
04:40He's a great guy.
04:41Annoyingly handsome.
04:41Mm-hmm.
04:42I mean, he's a solid detective.
04:43He was seeing Blair?
04:44Yeah.
04:44And during his sessions,
04:46he revealed that he has recurring...
04:50intimate dreams about Angela.
04:52Yikes.
04:53Yeah.
04:56Well, 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 how secure you are
05:11in your marriage.
05:12I mean, he'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.
05:37All right, this is not gonna be easy.
05:40When the CHP calls for mutual aid,
05:43usually because things have gotten messy,
05:46even for L.A.
05:50Now, wrecks like these are all about
05:53problem-solving and accuracy.
05:55We have to be exact with every word in our reports.
05:58Our 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 could 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.
06:15I-I can handle it.
06:17I can handle it.
06:18This gonna be as fun as putting socks on a rooster.
06:22Come to Chippy's.
06:23He's like 50 feet away.
06:25He 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 L.A.P.D.-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 clearing a path for the next ambulance.
07:05I gotta take this.
07:07Yeah.
07:09What's happening?
07:09Were you able to get that stuff from Lucy?
07:12She was gonna come by here at lunch
07:13and bring it to me.
07:14You forgot.
07:16Yeah, sorry.
07:16This morning's been just a little chaotic.
07:18But you stay put, I promise.
07:19I'll get it to you tonight
07:20or tomorrow at the latest.
07:22Okay.
07:22Yeah, stay safe.
07:24I 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?
07:43Uh, 20...
07:44No, that's 20.1, 20.2.
07:47It just keeps-it keeps moving.
07:49Oh, 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 open containers, alcohol, drugs.
08:04If there's any indication that this is a DUI,
08:07that changes everything.
08:08Okay.
08:09Okay?
08:09Okay.
08:16Clear.
08:20Well, hey, hey.
08:21Did you get pictures from underneath the car and above as well?
08:24No.
08:26No.
08:26No, sorry, sorry.
08:27It's my bad.
08:27No, listen.
08:28I understand there's a lot going on right now,
08:30but I can't be holding your hand every step of the way.
08:32Yeah.
08:34It's time to take the training wheels off, Dad.
08:36Really?
08:39Can 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,
08:47and this whole thing is bringing up 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 Penn, you clear this car?
08:56Yes, sir.
08:57The driver was critical, went 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,
09:07have a gun in the glove box.
09:11Bag this, please.
09:15R.S.?
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,
09:20but 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'd never seen him before.
09:48But he knew me.
09:50He was waiting.
09:51He called out Savannah,
09:52and when I turned,
09:53he sprayed me in the eyes with something.
09:56It burned really bad.
09:58Um, I tried to run,
10:00but, um, he hit me over the head,
10:03and the next thing I knew,
10:05I was tied up in the...
10:06in the trunk.
10:08And we drove around forever.
10:11It-it felt like hours.
10:13And, uh, he was singing.
10:16He kept replaying the same dumb pop songs,
10:19singing along at the top of his lungs
10:21without carrying the word.
10:22Well, you're safe now, okay?
10:24And the good news is,
10:25we know who he is.
10:26Officers are kicking down his door as we speak.
10:30We have a warrant for your arrest.
10:32Ridley.
10:32Let me take him.
10:35Let's go and show you.
10:35Let me take him down.
10:38Okay.
10:39Okay.
10:39Come back!
10:52When she's guest here,
10:53Clear.
10:54Clear.
10:54Clear.
10:55Clear.
10:58This place is giving me the creeps.
11:00Feels like teenage girls live here, not a 40-year-old dude.
11:03Get used to it.
11:04We're going to be here for a minute.
11:04There's only property registered in his name.
11:06We need to search every inch of this place.
11:08So glove up, tear it apart.
11:10Yes, sir.
11:14How bad?
11:14Physically, she should be OK.
11:16Guy didn't have her out in public and kept in the trunk
11:18for hours.
11:19Being a woman is consistently terrifying.
11:21Then you have a daughter, and it only gets worse.
11:22Harrison Novak was arrested three years ago
11:25for burglary and assault.
11:26He broke into a woman's home and choked her.
11:28Seemed open and shut, but evidence was compromised,
11:30and the prosecution lost the case at trial
11:33to Novak's hotshot lawyer.
11:34Who the hell was that?
11:36Your husband.
11:37Yeah, I recognize the case.
11:38The cops screwed up the chain of evidence,
11:40and I got him acquitted.
11:40Why?
11:41We found a girl in his trunk in pretty bad shape.
11:43He's currently at large, so if you can give us anything,
11:45that might help.
11:47I'll pull his file and get it to you ASAP.
11:50Let me know if there's anything else I can do.
11:51Thanks.
11:55You remember the Harrison Novak case?
11:58Uh, yeah, of course.
11:59That's the only time I lost a trial.
12:00Why?
12:01Novak just abducted a woman.
12:02Maybe not the first.
12:04Well, that's not good.
12:06For either of us.
12:08Huh.
12:15Hey, I'm sorry again for not reporting the gun,
12:17but I did find out the owner had purchased illegally,
12:20and it was registered.
12:21That's not the point.
12:22The cars are frequently broken into by criminals
12:24who do not have a license to carry.
12:26A weapon not registered to them
12:27is a win for the criminal community.
12:28Understood.
12:30It won't happen again.
12:31You know what?
12:31I'm gonna recommend you undergo additional training and testing all weekend,
12:34plus an additional three hours a day for the next two weeks.
12:37What?
12:37It was a simple mistake.
12:39Look, if I can't trust you to clock loaded weapons in plain sight,
12:41what else can't I trust you with?
13:02What's wrong?
13:03I lost her.
13:04She left the apartment.
13:05I got blocked in by a truck.
13:07Hello?
13:08Come on.
13:09Come on.
13:10Come on.
13:12Hi.
13:14She's ducking my call.
13:15Well, you can track her phone, right?
13:27He's headed towards Echo Park Firehouse.
13:29Punch it.
13:34Oh.
13:35Oh, this guy is totally a psycho.
13:38He wore his outside shoes right in the bedroom.
13:43Wait, these things gotta be caked in evidence, right?
13:45Potentially.
13:46Take a photo and then bag them.
13:49Hey, Ridley, can I ask you a question about something from earlier?
13:54Yeah, that's not really my favorite way to start a conversation, but sure.
13:58A few weeks ago, you told me that your girlfriend overdosed.
14:00And then earlier, I swear, I thought I heard you tell Miles that she died in a car accident.
14:04Yeah.
14:05Sorry, I should have made that more clear.
14:08Sarah didn't actually die from the OD.
14:10We got super lucky.
14:11My friend's daddy's a doctor, and he came home just in time with some naloxone.
14:16And then she died in a car accident?
14:18No, that was a different girlfriend a year later.
14:21Savannah wasn't a one-off.
14:22I found this hidden in the hallway closet.
14:25Oh, my God.
14:29More victims.
14:39Hello?
14:39Hey, Counselor.
14:41Harrison Novak.
14:44You helped me out of a jam a few years ago?
14:45Of course.
14:46I'm just finishing up a meeting.
14:48Can I call you right back?
14:49That's okay.
14:49I can hold.
14:50I got time.
14:52I've got Harrison Novak on the phone.
14:54He wants me to represent him.
14:54What's my ethical obligation here?
14:56Do I have to tell him I'm no longer a defense attorney?
14:58Uh, no.
14:58But as a prosecutor, the only thing you can't do is agree to represent him.
15:01Other than that, you can tell him anything he needs to hear to keep him on the line.
15:04Okay.
15:04Angela, it's Del Monte.
15:05I've got your husband here.
15:06He's talking to Novak on the cell phone right now.
15:08Hot damn.
15:09Setting up a trace now.
15:10Okay, I'm putting out speaker.
15:12Wesley, just keep him talking as long as you can.
15:15I'll mute my phone so we can listen.
15:17All right, great.
15:17I'm going over to him now.
15:20Sorry to keep you waiting.
15:21How can I help?
15:22Yeah, no problems.
15:23Look, I know you're a very busy guy, so I will skip the foreplay.
15:26I was super impressed with how you handled my case back in the day.
15:29And I find myself in a bit of fresh legal jeopardy.
15:34How bad are we talking?
15:35I don't like to use that word.
15:37Bad.
15:37So judgy.
15:39Good.
15:40Bad.
15:41Well, just choices and decisions repressed people use to keep more free-thinking individuals
15:47in a box.
15:48Right.
15:48Well, I wasn't trying to judge.
15:50I just need to know a little more of what I'm getting into before I commit.
15:53Well, I can tell you this much.
15:54Most people might not like what I do, who I am, but everyone inflicts and contributes
15:59to some level of pain and suffering.
16:02Might step on a bug or cook a steak.
16:04Let's do my version of that.
16:07Only on a bigger, more connected level with larger and more conscious animals.
16:11Are you saying you've killed people?
16:13Are you saying you're my lawyer?
16:15Mr. Novak, I'm just trying to make sure we're both on the same page.
16:17This is taking longer than I'd wanted, and I have a bit of a ticking clock problem.
16:20I had wanted to achieve so much more by the end of my story.
16:23A certain number of accomplishments.
16:26To make the world take notice.
16:28So, now I find myself having to get into the volume business.
16:31Wait.
16:32Why don't we get together in person and discuss?
16:34I gotta go.
16:35But don't worry.
16:35He'll probably see me later tonight on your TV.
16:37Wait.
16:38Ciao for now.
16:40Please, tell me you got a location.
16:42He's calling from Sorority Row.
16:44He's gonna pull a Ted Bundy.
16:46I'm sending every cop in the city, but I'm not sure we're gonna make it there in time.
16:49Say a prayer.
17:20Who is it?
17:21I, uh, Melanie?
17:25I think I have your package.
17:26It got delivered to my place by mistake.
17:31For you.
17:32Thanks so much.
17:52Police!
17:53Police!
17:55Police!
17:57Police!
17:58Step away!
18:12Everybody okay?
18:13If any of you ladies are looking to join the LAPD,
18:16I'd like to offer a letter of recommendation
18:17written by me personally.
18:33Get back, this is a crime scene.
18:35Let me throw him in the DA's office.
18:36I need to get in there.
18:37I said back up! Angela! Hold on, Angela!
18:39Stand down! He's allowed to be here.
18:41Hey, what happened in there? Please tell me no one's dead.
18:43No one is dead. In fact, he got his ass kicked.
18:46Hey, it's okay.
18:48You did good. You're the reason we got this guy.
18:51I'm also the reason that he's been free
18:52to kill innocent women for the past three years.
18:54His actions are not your fault.
18:56You're just doing your job.
18:57Okay.
18:59Hey!
19:00Thought you were too busy for me.
19:02You changed your mind.
19:03I'm not a defense lawyer anymore.
19:06Prosecutor now.
19:07Tricky.
19:08That's how the cops got here so quick.
19:10Yeah, you're lucky we did.
19:11Those girls were about to kill you.
19:12Get in.
19:14We should get him back to the station as soon as possible.
19:16He is a talker.
19:17Yeah, go. I'll be fine.
19:19You sure?
19:20Yeah.
19:21Go.
19:23Hm.
19:39The tramites
19:40Are all there going to night?
19:46It's the love and joy, but it's alright.
19:50No one is afraid.
19:53We got all of the joy...
20:01Put your hands on the wheel.
20:05I'm impressed.
20:07Like I care.
20:07Who are you?
20:08Why are you following me?
20:10Did Jason send you?
20:11No.
20:12I'm the man hunting your ex-husband.
20:16Malvado.
20:17I'm not your enemy.
20:18We want the same thing.
20:20Jason dead.
20:23You're a wanted man.
20:24I should call 911.
20:25Go ahead.
20:27Have me arrested.
20:28And spend the rest of your life worrying about Jason.
20:31Or you could let me go and never have to worry about him again.
20:42May I?
20:52This number cannot be traced, but messages will get back to me.
20:57If you hear of Jason's whereabouts, let me know.
21:02And I will put an end to your nightmare.
21:26Hey, you okay?
21:27Hey.
21:28Yeah, I'm fine.
21:29What were you thinking?
21:30Do you have any idea how dangerous this was?
21:33Oh, look.
21:34My phone is ringing.
21:35The idea was that you stay in the apartment.
21:38All of a sudden, I got marshals blowing up my phone, telling me you've gone missing.
21:40You almost gave me a heart attack.
21:42Wait.
21:42How did the marshals know I left?
21:44Are they tracking my phone?
21:45We had a guy posted outside Lucy's apartment.
21:47To spy on me?
21:48To protect you.
21:49In case Jason saw through the ruse and went after you there.
21:52Can we get back in the shop, please?
21:53Why didn't you tell me?
21:55That's not the point.
21:56What were you even doing down here in the first place?
21:58Well, it doesn't matter.
22:06Before we get started, I'd like to get us on the same page as to how we speak to each
22:11other.
22:12I mean, we may have differing philosophies, but it doesn't mean we can't be cordial to
22:19one another.
22:20You don't make the rules here.
22:22I think I kind of do.
22:24I mean, you must have a lot of very distressed families who are desperate for answers, and
22:29I am willing to tell you everything.
22:32But I expect to be treated like a person, not a monster.
22:35Sure.
22:36We can do that.
22:37We will just listen.
22:38Whatever you want to tell us.
22:42These on?
22:43Yes, you're being recorded.
22:48It's not.
22:50The killing.
22:54You'd think it would be.
22:56It's the least interesting part.
22:59The anticipation.
23:01The planning.
23:04That puts wind in my sails.
23:06The killing itself is more like eating, for me.
23:09Necessary, but not as holistically stimulating as the lead-up.
23:19Now, hunting my victims, really feeling their fear, that just fills me up.
23:35When the killing's done, I tend to feel a little empty inside.
23:42Lonely, even.
23:43And so then I have to do it again.
23:48So then I have to do it again.
24:12And then Lucy will be here to bring you back to her apartment.
24:16I'm your wife, John.
24:17I don't work for you.
24:18And in case you've forgotten, I literally spent the last three weeks doing tactical military
24:22training in Germany.
24:23I don't need you to protect me.
24:26Nolan, Novak gave up the location of his dump site.
24:28Eunice on the way, I need you guys to meet him there.
24:30Right, um, we'll finish this later.
24:32Mm-hmm.
24:33Promise.
24:33Uh, would you watch her, please?
24:37You're a grown-ass woman.
24:38I'm not babysitting you.
25:14Hey.
25:16Hey there.
25:17If you really want to be shooting from the outside, I'm completely backlit.
25:20And no offense, but if you want to have an easy time selling this doc to Hulu or whatever,
25:24you want to see my face and not, uh, random cops.
25:28It's what people actually care about.
25:31Something here.
25:32Hey, we got something.
26:02Where are they going?
26:03I don't know.
26:06I didn't even bury anyone over there.
26:23They're all wrapped the same.
26:25They must be yours.
26:26I swear to God, all my kills are back there.
26:29These aren't mine.
26:36I'm gonna have nightmares about that burial site.
26:39Shouldn't I be more hardened by now?
26:41I should, right?
26:42No, your empathy is your best quality.
26:44Really? Best quality?
26:46Well, there are certain others,
26:48best discussed in a non-professional setting.
26:53Thanks for coming right over.
26:54Yeah, of course.
26:55You saw the bodies?
26:56Yes, we didn't unwrap any of them
26:58for fear of compromising DNA evidence.
27:00They're all being sent to our morgue facility downtown.
27:02All right, yeah.
27:03Give us the room, guys.
27:04Hey, good to see you again.
27:06Likewise.
27:07Wish it was over at Cafe Americano, but here we are.
27:10Hi, nice to see you.
27:11Uh, who wants to start?
27:12I will.
27:12As I told Garza, it seems clear
27:14that we have a second serial killer at large.
27:16Harrison Novak has been falling all over himself
27:19to take credit for his kills,
27:20but he seemed genuinely shocked
27:22when we uncovered those bodies.
27:23You think he knows who the second killer is?
27:25Maybe, but it feels unlikely.
27:26I agree with Nyla.
27:27Novak seemed totally thrown by the bodies
27:29and worried that this killer would somehow overshadow him.
27:32Okay, so what's our first step?
27:34Mine is a thorough examination of all of the victims,
27:37which will take days, if not weeks.
27:39In the short term, we need to try to figure out
27:40a connection between the two killers.
27:42Well, let's say Harper's intuition is right,
27:44and Novak doesn't know the identity of the second killer.
27:47I mean, it can't be a coincidence that number two
27:50used the same green tarp to bury his victims.
27:53He's clearly piggybacking off of Novak's burial site, right?
27:55Which would indicate that killer number two
27:57is trying to hide his crimes inside Novak's.
28:00Which is the complete opposite of Harrison Novak,
28:02a killer who's desperate for recognition.
28:04I mean, but how did number two know about the burial site?
28:07I mean, they must have crossed paths somewhere, right?
28:09Theoretically, but without even the slightest hint
28:11of where to start looking,
28:12we're talking about an infinitely large haystack
28:14hiding a very small needle.
28:15Hope I'm not interrupting,
28:16but I might have a smaller haystack for you to search.
28:18I dug through my notes from the Harrison Novak case file.
28:20When we first met, he mentioned
28:22that he had spent some time in a psychiatric facility.
28:24That wasn't in his file.
28:25Well, he was 15.
28:26Voluntary admission, not criminal.
28:28Which facility?
28:29Westview, out in Chatsworth.
28:30We've been there before.
28:31Director's a pill.
28:32We'll go talk to her.
28:33Do you mind expediting a warrant?
28:34She's not gonna give us anything unless she has to.
28:36Yeah, consider it done.
28:38You do know not everyone suffering from mental illness
28:41is a serial killer.
28:42Of course, but we did just arrest one,
28:44and he was treated at this facility 15 years ago.
28:47So we're not just here
28:48because we heard how personable the staff is.
28:50Okay, listen, we know that this is a sensitive subject,
28:53but most serial killers suffer from some sort of psychosis
28:56or antisocial personality disorder.
28:58Nice!
28:59Which Psychology 101 book did you pull that from?
29:02I'm about to put her in a different kind of hospital.
29:04With all due respect,
29:05we just pulled more than a dozen bodies out of a field,
29:08and now we have a court order for your patient records.
29:10Either you give us access to those records now,
29:12or later, after you spent the weekend in jail.
29:16Are you aware people suffering from mental illness
29:19are actually more likely to be victims of violent crime?
29:21Yes, but that's not relevant at this moment.
29:24So are you gonna give us the list of patients and staff
29:26who are here with Novak or not?
29:28It'll take a while to assemble.
29:30You have 12 hours.
29:32And we don't do grace periods.
29:35I really thought you were gonna hurt her there for a minute.
29:37Me too.
29:38And you weren't exactly playing good cop either.
29:40Whatever gets the job done.
29:51What?
29:56Same green tarp.
29:57You wanna go in?
29:58As opposed to calling in 100 cops to do it for us?
30:01No guts, no glory.
30:06Control, this is Detective Lopez.
30:08Harper and I are code six.
30:10On a follow-up at Westview Psychiatric Hospital.
30:12Start up another unit in case we come across anything.
30:14Copy that, Detective.
30:36You ready?
30:55You okay?
30:57Yeah.
30:57I'm just regretting my choice of footwear.
31:04I can't believe they still have all this equipment.
31:06You never know when lobotomies will come back in style.
31:21There's something written here.
31:26Maybe from an old patient?
31:36I feel like I've seen this movie before.
31:39Yeah, but they don't have guns.
31:44Control, this situation is escalating.
31:45Attach a few more units.
31:47Code three.
31:47Copy that, Detective.
31:48Copy that, Detective.
31:55I am starting to regret more than just my shoe choice.
31:59No guts, no glory, remember?
32:01It's not fair using my bravada against me.
32:06Police!
32:22Stop! Police!
32:27Help me!
32:28He's coming back!
32:30You have to get me out of here.
32:32He's gonna kill us.
32:33Are there others?
32:34Does he have someone else?
32:35I don't know.
32:36Please.
32:37He needs medical attention now.
32:38Alright, go get him to safety.
32:39I got this gun.
32:53I got this gun.
33:21I got this gun.
33:26Not so populates now.
33:27No are you out of here?
33:28Boys series.
33:32We are here 20 somewhere.
33:38I want to get you by it.
33:40Just거� Scandinavian Snail,
33:40eat them with a biography.
33:48Oh, my God.
34:15Oh, my legs.
34:18Oh, my legs.
34:34Nyla!
34:35Here.
34:36Are you okay?
34:38No.
34:39He injected me with something.
34:41I can't feel my legs.
34:42Okay, hang on.
34:43There's an ambulance on the way.
34:45This is Lopez.
34:46Officer down.
34:47Westview basement.
34:48Conscious and breathing, but injected with some type of paralytic and can't move her legs.
34:52We need those EMTs down here now.
34:53Copy that, detected.
34:54They're on her way.
34:55It's gonna be okay.
35:08How you doing?
35:09Better.
35:10Feeling's mostly back.
35:11My best guess is short-term paralytic.
35:15I'll just try not to think too hard about how dirty all the needles were down there.
35:19Probably for the best.
35:20Any sign of our suspect?
35:21No.
35:22He clearly had an escape route.
35:24Psych hospital just sent the list of patients and employees.
35:27It's a lot of names.
35:29FBI's digging in.
35:30How's the guy we pulled out of there?
35:31Remy Darden.
35:34He's in rough shape.
35:35Hopefully he's stable enough in the morning to talk to us.
35:38And James will be here soon.
35:40Yes.
35:40I didn't tell him what really happened, just that you suffered a minor injury on the job.
35:45Thanks.
35:47You want to talk about how scary that was?
35:49Nope.
35:51You want a hug?
35:52No.
35:56Yes.
36:10Nolan, my office.
36:16Yes, sir.
36:17I got a call from Detroit PD.
36:20They pulled prints from a liquor store robbery last night.
36:22Were they Pete's?
36:23They were Pete's, weren't they?
36:25Jason Weillers.
36:27Detroit, Michigan?
36:28I ran a VICAP search.
36:30There was another hit on Jason's prints two days before outside of Provo.
36:34Looks like Mel Votto's got him spooked.
36:35He's been heading east.
36:37Get as far away from L.A. as he can.
36:39I'm a little surprised he picked survival over revenge, but I'll take it.
36:43I gave Detroit PD your info.
36:44They'll call if they have anything more.
36:46Thank you, sir.
36:48Hold up.
36:48One more thing.
36:50I've been overprotective, and if Bailey divorces me, no one will blame her.
36:55If I'm in your shoes, I'm just as crazed.
36:58But you have to live your lives.
37:00Yes, sir.
37:08Where do you think you're going?
37:11Home feels like the wrong answer, but I'm not sure why.
37:14Sawed off shotgun, dagger, nunchucks, AR-15.
37:17Which two violate the same penal code?
37:19We doing this now.
37:19You need to know the law cold, no matter how tired you are, no matter how many of the things
37:23are going on.
37:24Right.
37:26Sawed off shotgun and dagger.
37:27Violation of 12020, possession of an illegal weapon.
37:30What about nunchucks?
37:31Formerly a violation of 12020, but currently no violation at all.
37:35They became legal in 2023.
37:37Good.
37:38You're dismissed.
37:40Sergeant, I appreciate it.
37:43How hard you're on me, and how dedicated you are at doing the job right.
37:46And I swear I'm not kissing up.
37:47Where I'm from, a lot of cops don't have that same love of diligence.
37:50Some were transplants where I fell from other departments.
37:53They didn't care the way that you do.
37:55You know, I guess I really understand how much I had to learn.
37:58So, thank you.
38:01Dismissed.
38:01Yes, sir.
38:03It's just around the corner between love and death.
38:09Heaven.
38:13I know that logically, intellectually, even legally, I'm not to blame for Novak's crimes, but...
38:19Emotionally, I'm struggling.
38:21Well, you're not a robot, Wes.
38:23I mean, I would actually be more concerned if you felt nothing after all this.
38:27But on the bright side, at least you've forgotten about the detective who has the hots for your wife, right?
38:32Well, now I'm thinking about him.
38:34Anyway.
38:35What is this?
38:36You're having a wake for Sean's political career.
38:39Didn't invite me.
38:40I made a sound only a bat could hear.
38:41I figured that would do the trick.
38:42Oh.
38:43Hi.
38:43It is so nice to see you retain your sense of humor given the end of your campaign.
38:48Huh.
38:49I mean, who would elect a DA who is so instrumental in letting a serial killer go free?
38:53Okay, you and I both know that what happened is far more complicated than that.
38:58Of course.
38:59But voters don't do complicated.
39:01You should withdraw before you get embarrassed at the polls.
39:05Mm-hmm.
39:05It's really nice to have you back.
39:07Mm-hmm.
39:10She's lovely.
39:11Mm-hmm.
39:12Oh.
39:13Third down and three inside the 25-yard line.
39:16Here's the snow.
39:17And he hands off to number two with a...
39:20Stay.
39:22Hey.
39:23Hey.
39:24Um, how much do you trust the LAPD background checks?
39:26I'm sorry, why are you at my door asking me that?
39:29Come on.
39:29Okay, so...
39:31Seth told me that his high school girlfriend died of an OD, but then he told Miles that she
39:35died in a car accident.
39:37I confronted him about it.
39:38He covered it pretty well, said that they were different girlfriends, but I...
39:41That...
39:41That seems pretty unlikely.
39:43I just can't shake this feeling that there's something off with him.
39:46Look, our background checks are pretty invasive.
39:48Andy would have had to pass a polygraph test, which we both know those are.
39:52Illuminating.
39:53If he was hiding something, I think it would have come out.
39:56You're right.
39:57But you're still not satisfied.
39:58No, I...
40:01I'm sorry.
40:02I...
40:02Okay.
40:03Oh.
40:04Oh, my gosh.
40:06Here I go, Joe.
40:09You like a butt scratch?
40:11I miss you.
40:13Feelings mutual.
40:18Look, I know it's late, and I don't have much in the way of food, but I could order something.
40:25Um...
40:26Oh.
40:30No.
40:31No.
40:32No.
40:32I should, um...
40:33I'm gonna go, and so have a good night.
40:37You too.
40:38Okay.
40:39Okay.
40:40All right.
40:53I'm happy to come back whenever you need me.
40:56I think, uh, we're all set.
40:58Thanks for the offer.
41:00I'm happy you're back home.
41:02Thank you so much.
41:04Yeah.
41:05Alrighty.
41:06Bye, guys.
41:07Bye.
41:07See you soon.
41:13I am sorry.
41:15I am sorry for treating you like a damsel in distress when you are anything but.
41:20You are strong, you are smart, and you are more than capable of handling yourself.
41:29Sometimes it's just hard to figure out what kind of help you need from me.
41:34Well, I knew you were coming from a good place.
41:36I just...
41:37In the future, I recommend asking instead of telling.
41:40Agreed.
41:41Let me try.
41:43Would you care to spend some quality personal time with me in our quality personal bed?
41:50Perfect.
41:53I'm just gonna get us a water, you know, for after.
41:56Excellent.
41:57Hydrate.
42:26Yea.
42:40I'm just gonna get you.
42:53Damn it!
