00:01What is Tim going to show us?
00:02He'll kill me if I ruin the surprise.
00:04It's not a waffle truck, I asked.
00:06Oh.
00:07Welcome.
00:08I wanted you guys to be the first to see my new office.
00:11Look, if I'm going to be a more out-on-the-streetwatch commander,
00:13I need to take my office with me.
00:15Is this the new Interceptor utility vehicle?
00:17It is.
00:18700 horsepower, 8,000-pound towing capacity,
00:22level 4 ballistic door panels, dark mode,
00:24and 270-degree monitoring to analyze moving objects
00:28from potential threat levels.
00:29He calls it a super shop.
00:30That's a working title.
00:32Let's see what we got.
00:33Pats and bats, infrared camera,
00:36breaching tools.
00:37I have two 32-inch screens.
00:40Woo!
00:41Wow.
00:42Can I be watch commander?
00:43No.
00:44But you are riding with me today.
00:45Oh, okay.
00:46Show them droning.
00:47Oh, yeah.
00:48Check this out.
00:57Isn't he cute?
00:57She?
00:58Really?
00:59Yeah.
01:00Look, Super Shop makes the Batmobile look like a kitty toy.
01:02And I can control it all right here from my phone.
01:07See?
01:11Damn it.
01:12Whoa, whoa.
01:13Damn it.
01:15He's playing Tim's Pump-Up Jazz.
01:17Down.
01:18No, no, no, no.
01:18Stop.
01:19Stop.
01:20Stop.
01:20You know what we're doing tonight.
01:24Telling you now that we're gonna get down.
01:28I'm gonna shake it down.
01:30It's not gonna be as easy as you think.
01:31Based on this morning's demonstration, I'm well aware.
01:34It's not just that you're taking the watch commander duties on patrol.
01:37You're also exposing yourself to chain of command confusion when you land at the scene.
01:42Even if you stay in the SUV.
01:44Super Shop.
01:45Uh, it's a, it's a working thing.
01:52Good morning.
01:53Good morning.
01:54All right, listen up.
01:55We're gonna do things a little different today.
01:57There'll be two supervisors out on the street.
02:01Sergeant Chen and myself.
02:04I know, I know, no one's the boss showing up to their calls,
02:08second-guessing their every move.
02:09That is not my intention, okay?
02:11Nothing has to change.
02:12I just put wheels on my office.
02:14And while we work out the details, Officer Nolan will be riding with me
02:17to help facilitate the transition.
02:19Any questions?
02:21Can I pick a playlist?
02:24It's a dumb question.
02:25All right, second order of business, Officer Juarez.
02:27We'll be on temporary duty assignment with the Detectives Bureau.
02:31Did you choose your focus?
02:32Yes.
02:33Missing persons.
02:34Oof.
02:35You sure about that?
02:37Yeah.
02:38Your call?
02:39All right, I have some updates from the night shift.
02:41Is missing persons really that bad?
02:44Detective Desmond has a reputation.
02:46Like a Harper reputation?
02:48No, um, opposite.
02:52Last day at the DA's office.
02:54Excited?
02:54I'm relieved.
02:55When the DA had one foot in retirement, now that Vivian's DA elect,
02:58she's gonna have free reign.
02:59Well, none of that will matter once you quit and open a private practice in Malibu
03:03with a view of the ocean.
03:04Uh, with that commute, you'd never see me again.
03:07Well, in my dream, I also work in Malibu.
03:10I have a robot helicopter that flies the kids to school.
03:13And a pony.
03:13Well, sorry to kill another one of your dreams, but I already reached out to my old landlord,
03:16and the only view from that office is to eat the open place on the first floor.
03:20Oh, before you go, make sure you pass off my cases to the right prosecutors.
03:24Daniels doesn't touch homicide.
03:25Give mine to Cosgrove.
03:27He is solid.
03:27That might be an issue.
03:29Cosgrove just quit.
03:29I gotta go.
03:30Good luck.
03:32Wesley, so good to see you.
03:33Yeah, right.
03:34I'm serious.
03:35No hard feelings on my end.
03:37Yeah, because you destroyed me.
03:38Well, exactly.
03:39I made good on the promise I made you when you threw your hat in the ring.
03:41It's nothing personal.
03:42In fact, I agree with you on a lot of the issues,
03:44and I know that together we can take the DA's office in a positive direction.
03:48Mm-hmm.
03:50You're not gonna fall for that, are you?
03:52No.
03:53I was about to hand in my resignation letter.
03:55Well, she won't accept it.
03:56With Cosgrove, Garcia, and Martin already out, she can't afford to lose anyone else.
03:59Martin quit?
04:00Keyed her car on the way out.
04:02A hero to us all.
04:04Come on.
04:07Hey, sorry about the election.
04:09That should have been me facing Vivian.
04:11You were handed a poison chalice.
04:13I drank from it willingly.
04:14So.
04:15How's Logan?
04:16He's good.
04:17You know, he just got another chip.
04:19He's been clean now almost four months.
04:22That's great.
04:23Yeah.
04:23Uh, what about you?
04:25You gonna do the Rothwell and Pierce thing?
04:26No, I'm, uh...
04:28I'm gonna stay here.
04:30And you should, too.
04:31Mm.
04:32Come on, Wes.
04:32You joined this place to change the culture from within.
04:35To ensure that justice, not punishment, was our paramount virtue, remember?
04:40It's a very inspirational message that just lost by 23 points.
04:45Look, Vivian ran on tough on crime.
04:47She's gonna deliver.
04:48Yeah, which is why the city needs people like us here, now more than ever.
04:52Look, we still can make a difference.
04:54Sean.
04:55You're here already.
04:56Let's work together one last time.
04:57If at the end of the day you still wanna quit, I won't stand anyway.
05:01What?
05:01This job is where ambition goes to die.
05:05Wait, what?
05:06Missing persons.
05:07It's not a real department.
05:09It's a halfway house for cases on the way to real departments.
05:12That's a lot of reports for a fake department.
05:15Ninety percent of these cases will solve themselves.
05:17A teenager just needed to blow off steam.
05:19A wife went on a bender, came home when she sobered up.
05:22A kid fell asleep playing hide-and-seek.
05:23Well, I've been on patrol for three years.
05:26I know most missing persons reports go nowhere, but there are people in the stack who are victims of real
05:32crimes.
05:32Crimes with their own departments, like trafficking or homicide.
05:36Sorry to interrupt.
05:38Homicide wants some graph case.
05:40A fisherman found the body.
05:41Looks like murder.
05:42Rest in peace.
05:46Okay.
05:47Obviously, you know the job way better than I do, but it wouldn't hurt to look through the case files,
05:53see if there's anyone we can help.
05:55Knock yourself out.
06:03This thing drives like a dream.
06:05In these seats.
06:07Ten minutes in a regular shop, my ass is barking.
06:10Well, don't get used to it.
06:11You're just here while I work out the kinks.
06:13Once Penn is back from training, you're back in the shop and I'm on my own.
06:17I have a 415 at Fifth and Western.
06:19RP reports two shirtless men circling each other.
06:22Seven out of 100, two blocks away shows responding.
06:25You sure?
06:25Sounds like your basic alcohol-fueled selected.
06:28Yeah, I have to test response times and even the most basic of calls.
06:34Captain's calling.
06:36Bradford.
06:37Can you hold?
06:38Yeah, I'll hold.
06:43I'll be right there.
06:44I got this one.
06:47LAPD, you guys break it up.
06:49Sorry, he was just called into a meeting. Can you hold just a minute longer?
06:52Thanks.
06:53No, I'm at...
07:05Sorry to keep you waiting.
07:06No problem, sir.
07:07We're getting a lot of complaints about vagrants in Stoner Park.
07:11I've got to say renaming it would be a strong start.
07:14It's important that people feel safe in public places.
07:16Couldn't agree more.
07:17I'll have additional units in the area starting today.
07:19Okay, uh, is that it?
07:21One more thing.
07:22I just want to say your tireless commitment to justice and the people of this...
07:28What?
07:28Hey, hey, hey, hey.
07:30Good job, sir.
07:31You supervised the hell out of that.
07:33You're still here.
07:34And I think I found a workable case.
07:36Sadie Bell, 30, was reported missing last week, but according to her best friend Joe,
07:41Sadie never misses visitation with her kid on the first Tuesday of every month.
07:46Walk with me.
07:49Reporting party's address?
07:51Um, 5206th Street?
07:53It's a homeless shelter.
07:54Joe is unhoused, meaning Sadie's unhoused.
07:56Not the most reliable bunch.
07:58On the other hand, sir, unhoused women are highly vulnerable to physical and sexual assaults.
08:03True, and they're also more likely to be substance abusers who miss things like supervised child visitations.
08:09Well, I know.
08:09Well, I think it's worth investigating, so what's our first step?
08:13Why are you so gung-ho, Officer Boris?
08:15And don't just say the indefatigability of youth.
08:20Uh, my, uh, sister was abducted when I was a child, sir.
08:24I, uh, lived the fear of not knowing where a loved one is.
08:29Understandable.
08:30And quite noble.
08:31But I would caution you that the thousand files in my office
08:34are not an unending stack of potential happy endings.
08:38For the subset that are not just runaways or miscommunications,
08:42the endings are mostly heartbreaking.
08:48I haven't had a chance to review the reports, but it's at the top of my list.
08:51Okay, I appreciate the reminder.
08:56How did Gray make it look so easy?
08:57Well, the scowl helped.
08:59Yeah.
09:00You don't want to bother that face with anything less than an absolute emergency.
09:03My scowl is legendary.
09:05It was.
09:06But then, Lucy moved in.
09:09You know what?
09:10I take it back.
09:12Hey, Dash.
09:14Everything all right?
09:14Hey, so, lesson for the future.
09:16Uh, if somebody asks you if you want to see a dead body, uh, say no.
09:21Dash, are you standing over a dead body?
09:24Yep.
09:26He's been here for at least a day.
09:28Won't know how long for sure until TID gets here and we turn him over.
09:31Kenneth Morris.
09:32K-Dog?
09:33For real?
09:35Uh, Kenny's my English teacher.
09:37Was my English teacher.
09:38Okay, so, uh, who found the body?
09:41Uh, Dakota.
09:42We're in fourth period together.
09:44But I didn't think it was real.
09:45She's always gossiping about something.
09:47Last week, she told me she was quitting school
09:49because she landed some influencer brand deal with Pop Tarts.
09:52Turns out it was just her regional campaign.
09:54No offense.
09:54It just doesn't seem like, uh, Coastwood is your scene.
09:58Oh, it's not.
09:58Uh, but my mom said I needed a strong senior year
10:01in order to get into a good college.
10:03So, she landed an office job here.
10:05That way I got a major break on tuition.
10:06Dad, not in the picture?
10:07No, he kind of lurks in the background like the Babadook,
10:11specializing in bad decisions and hot cougars.
10:14Right.
10:15Uh, so you said Dakota found the body originally?
10:17Uh, no.
10:18Dakota said CJ told her about it,
10:20who heard about it from Ilya and Autumn,
10:21who might have heard about it from somebody else.
10:24So, how many teenagers came out to the woods,
10:27saw a dead body,
10:28and did nothing about it except tell their friends?
10:31Unknown.
10:32But I bet they all took selfies with it.
10:33I'm starving.
10:35Can we order green juice or something?
10:37Your intermittent fest doesn't end until one.
10:39We can talk after that.
10:40No one is asking you to spy on your friends.
10:44No, we have hidden surveillance set up
10:45to capture candid conversations.
10:47Tight.
10:47Uh, but they're not my friends.
10:49No.
10:50How's my hair?
10:51It's...
10:52Fine.
10:53Who were you trying to impress?
10:54No one.
10:55Autumn.
10:59She's pretty.
11:00It's like saying that the hanging gardens of Babylon
11:03were cool instead of a feat of unparalleled engineering
11:06that redefined elegance and beauty in the ancient world.
11:09But I'm a little biased.
11:11Clearly.
11:12She nice.
11:13Hey, Dash.
11:14Do you want to come to my premiere tonight?
11:16Uh, yeah, totally.
11:17I would love to.
11:18No, wait.
11:19My publicist said we already did our charity work for the year,
11:22so you're out of luck.
11:23Sorry.
11:26What are you premiering?
11:27The new LaPorte film.
11:29It's already getting Oscar buzz.
11:30Oh.
11:30Who do you play in the movie?
11:31Young Attic No. 2.
11:33No lines, but my featured reactions really carry the film.
11:36Oh, by the way, I have a hard-out at 3.
11:39Blam Squad's coming to my house.
11:41Well, we'll try to get you out in time for the full-face shellacking.
11:44Do you have a parent or guardian with you?
11:46Oh.
11:47No, thank you.
11:48I was legally emancipated when I was 13,
11:50so I could, um, work adult hours on set.
11:54I don't need them here.
11:56Great.
11:56Let's interview you first.
11:58Awesome.
11:59Please tell me Jack won't be going there.
12:01It's not definite, but Jack's preschool is the feeder school for Coastwood.
12:07It would be an easy transition.
12:09Logistically, maybe, but emotionally.
12:11Won't you die a little?
12:13Yes.
12:14But L.A. elementary schools are more competitive than Stanford,
12:17and having an easy path would save hundreds of hours of stress.
12:20Yeah, but then he'd be going to school with kids like these.
12:23That's where it falls apart.
12:25And what can you tell me about Morris?
12:27Oh, Kenny was such a sweetie.
12:29Even when I had to miss a lot of class last year, he was so chill about it.
12:32Why did you have to miss school?
12:33I was doing this indie project.
12:35We were supposed to premiere at Sundance,
12:37but then the director had all these, like, harassment allegations or whatever
12:41and got basically blackballed.
12:43And now my career has to suffer.
12:45Like, did Kenneth have any disagreements with other teachers, faculty?
12:49No.
12:49I really can't imagine anyone wanting to hurt Ken Ken.
12:52It wasn't traditionally attractive, sure,
12:54but that's no reason to be murdered.
12:56Right?
12:58Can I vape in here?
13:00I have a note from my therapist.
13:01He does.
13:02I have it right here.
13:04No.
13:05Who first told you about the body in the woods?
13:07It was Sushi Tuesday, so I was pretty laser-focused on whether I wanted ahi or uni.
13:14I think I ended up getting both.
13:15Let's focus here.
13:18Where did you hear about the body?
13:20Well, I remember Autumn mentioning something earlier in the day when she was talking to Ilya.
13:25But Ilya said he had heard it from...
13:27Zoe.
13:28I guess she originally saw something about it in a DM from Lynette when she was going through CJ's phone.
13:33And given what happened on the school trip last year, it is super sketchy that he was DMing Lynette.
13:40Back up.
13:41Where do we think the rumor started?
13:43Nowhere.
13:43Like, everywhere.
13:44How are we further from figuring this out than when we started?
13:47I call for backup.
13:49Hi again.
13:50Thank God.
13:51Normal teenager.
13:52No offense, it's just your classmates tend to be...
13:55Overwhelmed by their own champagne problems.
13:57I get it.
13:58My dysfunction is a little bit more proletariat.
14:00Guess that's one way to put it.
14:02Yeah, I don't really hang out with them much outside of school.
14:04And that's not just because I didn't make Forbes 20 under 20, but it's definitely a factor.
14:09Well, we're not done with the interviews yet, but so far no one we have talked to has said they're
14:13the one who started the rumor.
14:14They all claim to have heard it from someone else.
14:16Right.
14:17So, Reese heard about it from CJ, who heard about it from Zoe, who saw it in a DM from...
14:23You said that Reese heard about it from CJ?
14:25That's what she told us.
14:26That doesn't make any sense.
14:27They got in a huge fight last week about, you know, whether or not sending nudes to other people counts
14:31as cheating.
14:32They haven't spoken to each other since, and word in the halls is that Zoe and CJ are the new
14:36Ick couple.
14:37Oh my God, yes.
14:37I was totally picking up on that vibe, but I saw that Zoe wasn't following CJ on Instagram, so I
14:42put it from my head.
14:43But when I doubled back to check, it looks like she does follow him, but only with her Finsta.
14:48With her Finsta.
14:48Yeah.
14:50Okay, this is actually all starting to make sense.
14:53It is?
14:54Um, so Lynette and Emma, they went to the bathroom to do a fit check for their joint Instagram account.
15:00And Lynette said that she hears somebody crying in one of the stalls, and she says that it's Reese because
15:05she recognizes her leather tabbies.
15:07Travis tells Paul in the parking lot that he heard about a dead body from some bitch in first period,
15:13and who does he have first period with? Reese.
15:18And Dash heard about the body from Dakota, who is Reese's second best friend, but she has been fighting for
15:23that number one spot.
15:25So, I mean, she would do anything that Reese says.
15:28So, if Reese told Dakota to lie about where she heard about the body.
15:32This is all coming back to Reese.
15:34Okay.
15:35So, is Reese witness zero?
15:37Or is she the killer?
15:41Sadie!
15:48Yeah.
15:50Okay.
15:52You know, the night Sadie went missing, it was pouring rain and the shelter was full.
15:56So, I'm thinking she crawled in here to stay dry and got trapped.
16:02A couple months ago, I found a bunch of guys living it up in an access tunnel.
16:06Electricity, Wi-Fi, the whole thing.
16:10They had the right idea.
16:11But you also have electricity and Wi-Fi.
16:13Yeah, but I have to pay for it.
16:15Right.
16:17You know, one of those cases, if they locked behind her, she could be trapped or too injured to crawl
16:21out.
16:22Yeah, but at this point, she's probably dead from dehydration.
16:26Wait, what?
16:30Sadie!
16:31If you can hear me, make a sound!
16:35Yeah!
16:36Yeah!
16:38Yeah!
16:42Uh-oh.
16:45Desmond.
16:46Where are you?
16:47I'm inside a service tunnel looking for Sadie.
16:49I called the shelter.
16:50She showed up this morning.
16:51You're kidding.
16:51Well, why didn't they call us?
16:53They never do.
16:54So, she was fine this whole time.
16:56Yeah, it turns out that her friend had the visitation date wrong.
16:58But, hey, cheer up.
17:00At least you only wasted your own time.
17:06I am so sorry.
17:17Oh.
17:18Hey, Selena.
17:20Hey, I heard about the missing person who wasn't missing.
17:24Already.
17:24I just got back.
17:26Well, Smitty was with you.
17:27Right.
17:28Oh, I'm gonna owe a lot of favors after dragging the cavalry through the sewers.
17:32Okay, first of all, do not refer to any group that includes Smitty as the cavalry in second.
17:37Those guys will forgive you.
17:38Or, you know, somebody else will screw up way worse and then they'll be focused on that.
17:41Well, I'm kidding.
17:43Hey, one misstep does not change the fact that your instincts here are legendary.
17:48So, just take a second to wallow in this, but then get cleaned up and get back out there, yeah?
17:52Yeah.
18:00Oh, you're too kind.
18:02Yes, I'm really looking forward to working with you as well, Madam Mayor.
18:05Okay, bye-bye.
18:07Sorry, I've been so busy.
18:09Before I make the big move upstairs, I wanted to get our house in order.
18:13A little bit clear of the deck.
18:14So, we have 27 felony arrests, waiting prosecution.
18:19We just do not have the manpower to take them all to trial.
18:22Why?
18:23Did you lose some ADAs or something?
18:26There's been turnover, yes.
18:28So, I've got plea deals approved for all these cases and I need you both to get them signed ASAP.
18:33Murder, too?
18:34This guy robbed a convenience store and the clerk had a heart attack.
18:37That is felony manslaughter at best.
18:39And a teen who pegged his principal with a football is assault with a deadly weapon?
18:43Then did the DA sign off on these?
18:44I pointed to the significant mandate voters handed me and he agreed.
18:48Well, their lawyers are not going to agree to these terms.
18:50Oh.
18:51Make them agree.
19:03Apple Pruitt, she lives in my building.
19:06Her mother reported her missing a month ago when she didn't return from Coachella.
19:10Every year we get a spike in imports after Coachella.
19:13This is one time this guy disassociated so hard he reported himself missing.
19:16No, but this one's weird.
19:18Apple has a strong social media presence but didn't post anything about what happened this year.
19:24There was a massive dust storm.
19:25They canceled day two at the Sahara tent.
19:27I mean, everyone was posting about it.
19:29It's not exactly a smoking gun.
19:31Okay, listen, I know how this sounds but something is telling me to investigate.
19:36I see what's going on.
19:38You said she lives in your building?
19:39Mm-hmm.
19:40Classic move.
19:41You take a case near your house so you can investigate it from your living room.
19:45When the shift ends, you're just a few steps from your futon.
19:48I'm not trying to go home early.
19:51That's too bad.
19:53I thought you were finally catching on.
19:57There's no obvious connection between Reese and Mr. Morris.
20:00He did tutor her every week but he tutored a lot of the kids.
20:03Yeah, and his Venmo transactions show that he was pulling down six figures on top of his salary.
20:07Why is tutoring in quotes?
20:10And one of the parents added a winky face emoji.
20:16Every student who paid for tutoring got a name.
20:18The only kid who was struggling was Dash.
20:20Yeah, his mom was barely scraping tuition together.
20:22They couldn't afford anything extra.
20:24Okay, so the parents are paying for grades so the kids get into a better college.
20:28But, I mean, why kill him?
20:31Maybe.
20:31He couldn't deliver.
20:32If I spent that kind of money and my kid didn't get into their dream school, I'd be pissed.
20:39Reese, have you decided what college you're going to?
20:41Um, I think I may be taking a gap year.
20:45From your social media accounts, it seems like you're all about Yale.
20:48That was kind of my mom's thing.
20:50But you did apply.
20:52Yeah, I applied to lots of places, but I didn't get in.
20:57So...
20:58Was your mom upset?
21:00Yeah, I guess.
21:02Reese, we know it was you who started the rumor.
21:05No, I heard it from CJ.
21:06We know that's not true.
21:09But you did tell Dakota, and Travis, and Lynette.
21:13You know what that tells me?
21:16You wanted someone to know.
21:19You wanted the police to know, but you just didn't want to be the one to call.
21:23It didn't seem right that he was just lying out there.
21:27How do you know he'd been killed?
21:32I stayed late on Tuesday.
21:35My mom wanted to talk to Mr. Morris.
21:37She was so angry about Yale.
21:39She was yelling at him, and he wanted to talk somewhere private.
21:43So they went out back behind the school.
21:46I waited and waited, and finally my mom came back.
21:53Just her.
21:55Not him.
21:57And her hands were...
22:00She wouldn't talk about it, but I...
22:03I knew she did something.
22:07I didn't want any of this to happen.
22:09I don't even care about college.
22:17Well, at least I know why I was failing the class.
22:20Your mom wasn't bribing the teacher.
22:21Yeah.
22:22Then I never did any homework.
22:24Now, listen, your mom is stuck at school.
22:26Things are about as hectic over there as you can imagine,
22:28so your dad's gonna come take you home.
22:31Is that all right?
22:32Yeah, it's fine.
22:33He shows up every six to eight months to remind everybody
22:36where my mom got sole custody.
22:38I'm telling you, you cannot lose.
22:40You would be a fool not to invest.
22:42Hit me up on socials.
22:43I will tell you more about it, okay?
22:44Hey, this is my guy.
22:46Hi.
22:47Hi.
22:47How you doing?
22:48I still haven't had that grocery yet, huh?
22:50I'm pacing myself.
22:51Hey, sorry I haven't been around much.
22:52Been working crazy hours.
22:54But, good news.
22:55Tiger Bear has one more investor signed on
22:57with a non-binding verbal agreement.
22:59Tiger Bear?
22:59It's a soup.
23:00It's a breakfast soup.
23:02Dash, come on.
23:03No, that was the last one.
23:04Tiger Bear Whiskey Tequila's the whiskey-less startup.
23:06It's gonna be huge.
23:08You should get in on the grand floor, champ.
23:10I'm telling you, an investment of 10 grand
23:11will triple by the end of the year, guaranteed.
23:14You do know your son found one of his teachers
23:16dead behind the school gym today.
23:18Damn it!
23:20Sorry, sorry.
23:21Uh, okay.
23:22Keep going.
23:23So, Dash was working out and, uh...
23:25Just take me home.
23:27Will they have to excavate the passenger seat
23:28for parking tickets again, or...?
23:30He's joking.
23:31I am a model citizen.
23:32Don't say that.
23:35Dash.
23:38I'm around if you need me.
23:40So, we gotta stop by my place first,
23:41but we'll make it a pro app.
23:42You know?
23:42Or some Zah.
23:43We'll watch last week's UFC.
23:45Not a problem?
23:47Just the universal unfairness of the world.
23:49Nothing actionable.
23:53Thanks for coming in.
23:54This is a plea deal.
23:56And before you ask,
23:57it's the best deal your client's gonna get.
23:58I know.
23:59Murder, too.
24:00It seems excessive.
24:01I mean, all you did was rob a convenience store.
24:03It wasn't your fault that the clerk had a heart attack.
24:06The man had end-stage heart disease.
24:08Now, a jury could see that as extenuating circumstances.
24:12I mean, if the jury was blind,
24:14maybe they'd see that as a gang tattoo.
24:16But I don't have to risk that possibility
24:18if you just say yes to the plea.
24:20I mean, who cares?
24:20There's no precedent for a felony prosecution this severe.
24:23So, what if our only witness has been charged
24:25with perjury and false accusations in two other cases?
24:29I mean, if you think you could do better at trial,
24:31you just push that plea deal right back at me.
24:55The meeting is nowhere near too loud.
24:58I'm Officer Juarez with LAPD.
25:00Yeah, I'm following your roommate,
25:01Apple Pruitt's case.
25:03Yeah, she hasn't come home, right?
25:04No.
25:05No, I'm...
25:06I'm pretty sick.
25:08Do you mind if I come inside?
25:10Sure.
25:11Yeah, of course.
25:17I've actually been boxing up Apple's things all day.
25:20It's officially 30 days tomorrow.
25:22I just...
25:23I need someone else in here to help me with this crazy rent.
25:26Not that Apple is great about paying.
25:29She doesn't believe in money,
25:31or monogamy,
25:32or cleaning.
25:34She sounds like a lot.
25:36Oh!
25:36I mean, don't get me wrong.
25:37She was...
25:39is...
25:39um...
25:40one of my favorite people.
25:41Just not the greatest at cohabitation.
25:44Right.
25:45And the last time you saw her was
25:47right before she left for Coachella?
25:49She left going,
25:50even though she had her issues before.
25:52I mean, bad drugs and aggressive guys.
25:55She...
25:56definitely had some scares.
25:58And you think that's what happened to her?
26:00I... I don't know.
26:02Um...
26:02I mean...
26:04I'm just trying to be helpful.
26:05But I'm desperate for you to find her.
26:08Do you mind if I take a look at her bedroom?
26:11Yeah, no problem.
26:12It's, uh...
26:12It's right over there.
27:06I'm sorry!
27:07I'm sorry!
27:09I'm sorry!
27:09It's not what you think!
27:10I'm sorry!
27:11I'm sorry!
27:13I'm sorry...
27:14If I take the succeeded,
27:15I'm sorry!
27:17Would you turn it down?
27:23It's okay!
27:25You're right, son!
27:25Huh!
27:26Uh...
27:26Huh?
27:29Uh...
27:29Huh?
27:30Uh!
27:31Uh!
27:37Uh...
27:56This is Officer Juan, his badge number 53397.
27:59I'm code 4, with a possible 245 suspect.
28:02Also suspected of an 187 sent backup.
28:05I need an RATID to my location.
28:10You don't understand.
28:12She was the worst roommate ever.
28:17I'm pretty sure you're the worst roommate ever.
28:22So, this is just temporary.
28:25But the money train is chugging into the station.
28:29Then I'm going to be playing the how many square feet is too many square feet game.
28:33Want some?
28:34Uh, no thanks. I just shotgunned some gasoline.
28:46Oh, God. I had some serious stuff.
28:48Hey, um, so this fancy private school of yours...
28:52Where a teacher was just murdered?
28:53Really?
28:54How have you not been paying attention?
28:57Never mind. Of course you're out.
28:58All I'm saying is, you're in the perfect spot to help your dear old dad raise some cash money capital.
29:03I'm having supply issues in the Czech Republic.
29:05But they specialize in neither whiskey nor chicken.
29:08Okay, that is besides the point.
29:09Anyways, you would be helping out the family if I can get you to make a few introductions.
29:14If I say I'll think about it, will you take me home?
29:17Come on, what's the rush? Party's just getting started.
29:20Gus, I know you're in there. Open the damn door.
29:27We're going to go out the window.
29:29No, we're not.
29:30I can hear you in there. Open the door or we kick it in.
29:34Uh, okay. Um, so a few of my friends are here. Um, you got to go hide.
29:39Why would I hide from your friends? Just go. Go. And don't come out. No matter what.
29:47Fuck me.
29:52Dash?
29:53I think I might be in some trouble.
29:58Fellas.
29:59Wait, wait, wait. I'm sorry about the confusion. Your money, it's being transferred.
30:03It's just the act, you know? It takes a few days, so...
30:07Okay, where are you?
30:08Uh, closet? Dad's apartment? They're beating him up.
30:13I can get your money just one more day. Like, two times.
30:16Wait, wait, wait, wait, no.
30:18All right, stay hidden until we get there.
30:20I can't.
30:22They'll kill him. I have to do something.
30:24No, Dash. Dash, no.
30:30I know how you can get your money.
30:32What the hell is this?
30:33It's, uh, my neighbor. He waters my plants.
30:39You are such a liar.
30:41Although lying to protect your kid is almost noble,
30:44be ashamed if I have to break all his teeth,
30:46stump both his ends in a suit.
30:48Pass and pass.
30:50How about we go with my plan instead?
30:53Rob a bunch of rich kids that go to my school?
30:55Who wants a Rolex?
30:59You better not be lying, kid.
31:02Your dad is out of free passes.
31:05Let's go.
31:10Dash would never knowingly put someone in danger.
31:13So we track down whether any school families are out of town.
31:16Then look forward from here.
31:17He's a pretentious auteur filmmaker.
31:20His new movie launches tonight.
31:21Autumn Harrington is in it.
31:22That's the girl that Dash has a crush on.
31:24Her address is in the system.
31:30Damn, who is this chick?
31:32Autumn?
31:32She's an up-and-coming it girl.
31:34Her new project's getting Oscar buzz.
31:36Yeah?
31:37Well, let's hope she get paid in diamond bracelets.
31:40You know, stuff that's easy to pawn.
31:42Otherwise, you and your dad gonna find out
31:45what the landfill tastes like.
31:47Out.
31:52Stay with Gus until I give you the signal, all right?
31:57Man, for what it's worth,
31:59your dad is the biggest train wrecker I ever met.
32:02My old man, he in prison.
32:04Trying to steal a FedEx plane with a tow truck.
32:06Well, if you're the ghost of my future self,
32:08I might just have to Virginia Woolf it.
32:11I don't know what that mean.
32:12She was arguably the most influential writer
32:14of the 20th century.
32:16Ended it all by walking into a river
32:17with rocks in her pockets.
32:21Nobody likes a comedian, kid.
32:23I'd argue, but the gun gives you the last word.
32:29Hey, if this is set up, I'm killing everybody.
32:32Got it?
32:32Yes, sir.
32:38You're not my agadashi tofu.
32:41You're not supposed to be here.
32:42Well, you caught me out of the movies
32:43when I wasn't on the list.
32:45Do you know how mortifying that...
32:47Who the hell are you?
32:48Hey, who else in the house?
32:49Nobody.
32:50My parents are in Monaco.
32:52All right.
32:53Get over here.
32:54I don't want to.
32:55No problem.
32:56I'll just shoot you.
33:03Who dance?
33:04What?
33:05Why?
33:05Whoa.
33:06It's even bigger on the inside.
33:08See, this is the kind of place
33:09I'm going to get when I get paid.
33:11Hey, man, shut up!
33:12Stay down here with the idiot, all right?
33:14Steal anything that's shiny.
33:19Now, take me to your parents, Raminate.
33:21Better have a boatload of watches and jury.
33:22Hey, hey!
33:23Whoa, whoa!
33:23Those whiskey bottles worth, like, $500 each.
33:25I'm just going to grab a couple.
33:26Show me.
33:27All right.
33:28All right.
33:33What about this?
33:34The Merlot, really?
33:35No, dude, those two are worth way more.
33:43All right.
33:47All right.
33:48All right.
33:48Let's go.
34:22Hey! Where's the jewelry?
34:23Closet.
34:24All right.
34:25All right. Come on.
34:26Hey, hey! Stay here!
34:33Okay.
34:38I cannot believe you brought them to my house.
34:41I panicked, okay? They were gonna kill my dad.
34:44Besides, you weren't supposed to be here.
34:46They would never knowingly put you in danger.
34:47Because you have the odds for me.
34:49I have romantic intentions, yeah, but clearly you don't share them, so...
34:55It's not like you're not cute. You're just...
34:58Poor?
34:58Exactly.
35:05What are you doing?
35:06Looking for a gun.
35:07Oh, that's not a gun.
35:09Oh.
35:09Oh.
35:10Your parents are freaky.
35:11What the hell are you doing? Get away from there!
35:14Oh, no. Sorry.
35:15Sorry.
35:17I'm never gonna be able to look my parents in the eye again.
35:21Me neither.
35:23Hey, Andre wouldn't really hurt my kid, right?
35:25This is a scare tactic.
35:26I mean, I know I'm not a great dad, but I try, you know?
35:30When it's convenient for me.
35:33Like, I want to be better.
35:34Like, I really do. I think about it all the time.
35:37Well, not all the time.
35:39It's not the heart of the problem, really.
35:42I just gotta be better.
35:43The kid deserves a role model,
35:45not the flaming hot mess I am on a daily basis.
35:49It feels really good to come clean about this, you know?
35:51It's kind of cathartic.
35:52Wake up!
35:53When the hell did you get here?
35:54Where's Dash?
35:55Let's go.
35:56No, she's staying here.
35:58She hasn't seen your face, so you're in the clear.
36:00Just, you can do whatever you want to be, just let her go.
36:02Hey, man, you got balls, kid.
36:03Unlike your father, but she cannot stay here, all right?
36:05Let's go!
36:06There's a gold bar in that bedside table.
36:08Yeah, right.
36:08I'm serious.
36:10But if you want to leave it, like...
36:12All right, stay right here.
36:14Oh, no.
36:20Get back.
36:22Drop it.
36:24Come on, get up.
36:27Hey, you okay?
36:29Physically.
36:31There, give me this.
36:33Come here.
36:35Ow.
36:36Thanks.
36:38And thanks for trying to save me.
36:40Yeah, anytime.
36:41Oh, thank God.
36:45Although, I knew it was all gonna be all right.
36:46Like, hey, um, maybe we don't tell your mom about this.
36:50You know, we just keep it a bro thing.
36:51Stop.
36:52Just stop.
36:54Everything that you do, everything that you say is just so selfish, so toxic.
36:59You haven't done one fatherly thing for me in my entire life.
37:02All you care about is yourself, and I'm just sick of it.
37:06I'm done with you.
37:08Forever.
37:08What?
37:16So, we met with all 27 defendants.
37:19It's the craziest thing.
37:20We tried our hardest.
37:21None of them would accept the plea deal.
37:23Not a one.
37:24Well, I hope you've kept your weekends clear, because now you've got 27 trials you're gonna
37:28need to prepare for.
37:30About that.
37:32I quit.
37:33And I'd say best of luck, but I hope you fail.
37:37Spectacularly.
37:38Sorry, Sean.
37:39I just can't.
37:39No.
37:39No worries.
37:40I can't either.
37:42I quit, too.
37:44Wow.
37:45Hey, what do you think of the law firm of Del Monte and Evers?
37:47Well, you haven't worked a day in your life as a defense attorney.
37:49Evers and Del Monte.
37:52Turn to the right.
37:53Way ahead of you.
37:54Not my first rodeo.
37:56Well, we just need your clothes for evidence, and then, uh, for you to go.
38:02After everything that happened?
38:04The DA may still press charges, but it was pretty clear you were under duress.
38:09I really wanted this time to be different.
38:11I was gonna buy a dash of car.
38:13With a tiger bear on hand.
38:14To make up for lost time, you know?
38:17But, he's right.
38:18I screw everything up.
38:20He's better off without me.
38:21Probably.
38:24I've had some experience with bad fathers, and the love the sons feel for them, no matter
38:29how many times they get their hearts broken.
38:32And unless you're willing to change, and I mean really change, the best thing you can
38:39do for Dash is just leave him the hell alone.
38:51What were you thinking?
38:54I'm fine.
38:55Thanks for asking.
38:56Do you know how close you were to becoming a missing person yourself?
38:58If she would have succeeded in killing you, how would I have known?
39:01First thing she'd do is destroy your phone.
39:03So when I pulled to your last known location, it would be your building.
39:07So to me and the world, you were home, and then you vanished.
39:11I see that now.
39:12It's just I figured I'd stop by and ask a few questions.
39:15We have protocols for a reason.
39:18Yes, sir.
39:21I let my best intentions obscure my judgment, proving I still have a lot to learn about this
39:27job.
39:28But if I can be so bold as to ask a favor...
39:35You can ask.
39:38I remain undaunted.
39:40So if a file comes across your desk that gives you a feeling, call me.
39:45I am happy to run down any lead I can for you, free of charge.
39:54Deal.
39:56And for what it's worth, I'm glad you're okay.
40:00I made all these mistakes, but I made a lie.
40:15Your dad's gone, and your mom's on her way.
40:19Cool.
40:21You want to talk about anything?
40:25Uh, not really.
40:26I think I'm a little talked out for once.
40:30Understood.
40:33You're at the risk of sounding overly earnest.
40:37You're a very special young man, despite or maybe even because of what your father's put
40:44you through.
40:46Now, I know you know that you're not him in any, any way, shape, or form.
40:52But I also know that family pain is emotional and not intellectual.
41:02I'm just trying to say, um, if you ever need a reminder of this conversation, you have my
41:08number.
41:09Thanks.
41:11And just to be clear, you're saying I can call you every morning at the crack of dawn just
41:16to tell me I'm awesome?
41:16No.
41:18Every other morning.
41:19Twice a week, final offer.
41:21I can live with that.
41:22If you can live with unlimited text, DMs, and social media shoutouts.
41:27Just the calls.
41:29Okay.
