00:01What is Tim going to show us?
00:02He'll kill me if I ruin the surprise.
00:04Not a waffle truck, I asked.
00:06Oh.
00:07Welcome.
00:08Why don't you guys 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
00:26to analyze moving objects from potential threat levels.
00:29He calls it a super shop.
00:30That's a working title.
00:32See, we got hats and bats,
00:34infrared camera,
00:36breaching tools.
00:37I have two 32-inch screens.
00:40Woo!
00:41Wow.
00:42Can I be watch commander?
00:43No, but you are riding with me today.
00:45Yes.
00:45Oh, wait, show them droning.
00:47Oh, yeah.
00:48Check this out.
00:56Isn't he cute?
00:59Really?
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.
01:08See?
01:11Damn it.
01:12Whoa, whoa.
01:13Damn it.
01:14Oh!
01:15Oh, no.
01:16No, no, no.
01:18Stop, no.
01:19Stop, stop, stop!
01:30It's not going to be as easy as you think.
01:31Well, based on this morning's demonstration,
01:33I'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
01:41when you land at a scene, even if you stay in the SUV.
01:44Super shot.
01:45It's a working thing.
01:52Good morning.
01:53Good morning.
01:54All right, listen up.
01:55We're going to do things a little different today.
01:58There'll be two supervisors out on the street,
02:01Sergeant Chen and myself.
02:04I know, I know.
02:05No one wants 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,
02:15Officer Nolan will be riding with me to 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 person.
02:34Oof.
02:35Are you sure about that?
02:37Yeah.
02:38Your call?
02:39All right, I have some updates from the night shift.
02:41This missing person's really not 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,
02:57now that Vivian's DA elect,
02:58she's going to have free reign.
02:59Well, none of that will matter once you quit and open a private practice in Malibu with a view of
03:03the 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,
03:15but I already reached out to my old landlord,
03:17and the only view from that office is the Ethiopian 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.
03:27It 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.
03:35I'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.
03:50You're not gonna fall for that, are you?
03:52No.
03:53I was about to hand in my resignation letter.
03:54Well, she won't accept it.
03:56With Cosgrove, Garcia, and Martin already out,
03:58she 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.
04:14Sure.
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.
04:23What about you?
04:24You 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.
04:40Remember?
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.
04:51Now more than ever.
04:52Look, we still can make a difference.
04:54John.
04:55You're here already.
04:56Let's work together one last time.
04:58If at the end of the day you still want to quit, I won't stand anyway.
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, uh, that's a lot of reports for a fake department.
05:15Ninety percent of these cases will solve themselves.
05:17Teenager just needed to blow off steam.
05:19A wife went on a bender, came home when she sobered up.
05:22Kid fell asleep playing hide-and-seek.
05:24Well, I've been on patrol for three years.
05:25I know most missing persons reports go nowhere,
05:28but there are people in the stack who are victims of real crimes.
05:32Crimes with their own departments, like trafficking or homicide.
05:36Sorry to interrupt.
05:38Homicide wants some graft case.
05:40Fisherman found the body.
05:41Looks like murder.
05:42Rest in peace.
05:46Okay.
05:47Obviously, you know the job way better than I do,
05:50but 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,
06:15you're back in the shop, and I'm on my own.
06:17I have a 415 at 5th and Western.
06:19RP reports two shirtless men circling each other.
06:22Seven at 100.
06:23Two blocks away, show us responding.
06:25You sure?
06:26Sounds like your basic alcohol-fueled slugfest.
06:28Yeah, I have to test response times,
06:30and even the most basic of calls.
06:34The captain'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.
06:51Can you hold just a minute longer?
06:52No, I'm at...
07:04Sorry to keep you waiting.
07:06No problem, sir.
07:07We're getting a lot of complaints
07:09about 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, is that it?
07:21One more thing.
07:22I just want to say,
07:23your tireless commitment to justice
07:25and the people of this...
07:26Thank you, sir.
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,
07:40but according to her best friend Joe,
07:41Sadie never misses visitation with her kid
07:43on the first Tuesday of every month.
07:46Walk with me.
07:49Reporting party's address?
07:51Uh, 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,
07:59unhoused women are highly vulnerable
08:01to physical and sexual assaults.
08:03True, and they're also more likely
08:04to be substance abusers
08:05who miss things like supervised child visitations.
08:09Well, I know.
08:09Well, I think it's worth investigating,
08:11so what's our first step?
08:13Why are you so gung-ho, Officer Horace?
08:15And don't just say
08:16the indefatigability of youth.
08:20Uh, my, uh, sister was abducted
08:22when I was a child, sir.
08:24I, uh, lived the fear
08:26of not knowing where a loved one is.
08:29Understandable.
08:30And quite noble.
08:31But I would caution you
08:32that the thousand files in my office
08:34are not an unending stack
08:36of potential happy endings.
08:38For the subset that are not just
08:39runaways or miscommunications,
08:42the endings are mostly heartbreaking.
08:48I haven't had a chance
08:49to review the reports,
08:50but it's at the top of my list.
08:51Okay, I appreciate the reminder.
08:56How did Grant make it look so easy?
08:57Oh, the scowl helped.
08:59Yeah.
09:00You don't want to bother that face
09:01with anything less than
09:02an absolute emergency.
09:03My scowl is legendary.
09:05It was, but 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
09:17if you want to see a dead body,
09:19uh, 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
09:29until T.I.D. gets here
09:30and 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,
09:40who 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,
09:48she told me she was quitting school
09:49because she landed
09:50some influencer brand deal
09:51with Pop-Tarts.
09:52Turns out it was just
09:53a regional campaign.
09:54No offense.
09:54It just doesn't seem like, uh,
09:55Coastwood is your scene.
09:57Oh, it's not.
09:58Uh, but my mom said
09:59I 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 get a major break on tuition.
10:06Dad, not in the picture?
10:07No, he kind of lurks
10:09in the background
10:10like the Babadook,
10:11specializing in bad decisions
10:12and hot cougars.
10:14Right.
10:15Uh, so you said
10:16Dakota found the body original.
10:17Uh, no, Dakota said
10:18CJ told her about it,
10:20who heard about it from Ilya
10:21and Autumn,
10:21who might have heard about it
10:22from somebody else.
10:25So how many teenagers
10:26came out to the woods?
10:27Saw a dead body
10:28and did nothing about it
10:30except tell their friends.
10:31Unknown.
10:32But I bet they all
10:33took selfies with it.
10:33I'm starving.
10:35Can we order green juice
10:36or something?
10:37Your intermittent fest
10:38doesn't end until one.
10:39We can talk after that.
10:40No one is asking you
10:42to spy on your friends.
10:43No, we have
10:44hidden surveillance set up
10:45to capture
10:46candid conversations.
10:47Tight.
10:48Uh, but they're not my friends.
10:49No.
10:50How's my hair?
10:52It's fine.
10:53Who were you trying to impress?
10:54No one, Autumn.
10:59She's pretty.
11:00It's like saying
11:01that the hanging gardens
11:02of Babylon were cool
11:03instead of a feat
11:05of unparalleled engineering
11:06that redefined elegance
11:07and beauty
11:08in the ancient world.
11:09But I'm a little biased.
11:11Clearly.
11:12She's nice.
11:13Hey, Dash,
11:14do you want to come
11:15to my premiere tonight?
11:16Uh, yeah, totally.
11:17I would love to.
11:18No, wait.
11:19My publicist said
11:20we already did
11:21our charity work
11:21for 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,
11:33but my featured reactions
11:35really carry the film.
11:37Oh, by the way,
11:37I have a hard-out at three
11:39glam squads
11:40coming to my house.
11:41Well, we'll try
11:41to get you out in time
11:42for the full-face shellacking.
11:44Do you have a parent
11:45or guardian with you?
11:46Oh.
11:47No, thank you.
11:48I was legally emancipated
11:50when I was 13,
11:50so I could, um,
11:52work 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
12:00Jack won't be going there.
12:01It's not definite,
12:03but Jack's preschool
12:04is the feeder school
12:05for Coastwood.
12:07It would be
12:08an easy transition.
12:09Logistically, maybe,
12:10but emotionally,
12:11won't you die a little?
12:13Yes.
12:14But L.A. elementary schools
12:15are more competitive
12:16than Stanford,
12:17and having an easy path
12:18would save hundreds
12:19of hours of stress.
12:20Yeah, but then
12:21he'd be going to school
12:22with kids like these.
12:23That's where it falls apart.
12:25And what can you tell me
12:26about Morris?
12:27Oh, Kenny was such a sweetie.
12:29Even when I had to miss
12:29a lot of class last year,
12:31he was so chill about it.
12:32Why did you have
12:33to miss school?
12:33I was doing this indie project.
12:35We were supposed
12:36to premiere at Sundance,
12:37but then the director
12:38had all these, like,
12:40harassment allegations
12:41or whatever
12:41and got basically blackballed.
12:43And now my career
12:44has to suffer.
12:44Like, did Kenneth
12:46have any disagreements
12:47with other teachers,
12:48faculty?
12:49No.
12:49I really can't imagine
12:50anyone wanting
12:51to hurt Ken-Ken.
12:52It wasn't traditionally
12:53attractive, sure,
12:54but that's no reason
12:55to be murdered.
12:56Right?
12:58Can I vape in here?
13:00I have a note
13:00from my therapist.
13:01He does.
13:02I have it right here.
13:04No.
13:05Who first told you
13:06about the body
13:06in the woods?
13:07It was Sushi Tuesday,
13:09so I was pretty laser-focused
13:10on whether I wanted
13:11ahi or uni.
13:14I think I ended up
13:15getting both.
13:16Let's focus here.
13:18Where did you hear
13:19about the body?
13:20Well, I remember
13:21Autumn mentioning
13:22something earlier in the day
13:23when she was talking
13:24to Ilya,
13:25but Ilya said
13:26he had heard it from...
13:27Zoe.
13:28I guess she originally
13:29saw something about it
13:30in a DM from Lynette
13:31when she was going
13:32through CJ's phone.
13:33And given what happened
13:34on the school trip
13:35last year,
13:35it is super sketchy
13:37that he was DMing Lynette.
13:40Backup.
13:41Where do we think
13:42the rumor started?
13:43Nowhere.
13:43Like, everywhere.
13:44How are we further
13:45from figuring this out
13:46than when we started?
13:47I call for backup.
13:49Hi again.
13:50Thank God.
13:51Normal teenager.
13:52No offense.
13:53It's just your...
13:54classmates tend to be...
13:55Overwhelmed by their
13:56own champagne problems.
13:57I get it.
13:58My dysfunction
13:59is a little bit more
14:00proletariat.
14:00Yes, that's one way
14:01to put it.
14:02Yeah, I don't really
14:02hang out with them
14:03much outside of school.
14:04And that's not just
14:05because I didn't make
14:06Forbes 20 under 20,
14:07but it's definitely
14:08a factor.
14:09Well, we're not done
14:10with the interviews yet,
14:11but so far no one
14:12we have talked to
14:12has said they're the one
14:13who started the rumor.
14:14They all claim to have
14:15heard it from someone else.
14:16Right.
14:17So Reese heard about it
14:18from CJ,
14:19who heard about it
14:20from Zoe,
14:20who saw it
14:21in a DM from...
14:23You said that Reese
14:24heard 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
14:28last week about,
14:29you know,
14:29whether or not
14:30sending nudes
14:31to other people
14:31counts as cheating.
14:32They haven't spoken
14:33to each other since,
14:33and word in the halls
14:34is that Zoe and CJ
14:35are the new Ick couple.
14:37Oh my God, yes.
14:37I was totally picking up
14:38on that vibe,
14:39but I saw that Zoe
14:40wasn't following CJ
14:41on Instagram,
14:42so I put it from my head.
14:43But when I double back
14:44to check,
14:45it looks like she does
14:46follow him,
14:46but only with her Finsta.
14:48With her Finsta.
14:48Yeah.
14:50Okay, this is...
14:51This is actually
14:52all starting to make sense.
14:53It is?
14:54Um, so Lynette and Emma,
14:56they went to the bathroom
14:57to do a fit check
14:58for their joint
14:59Instagram account,
15:00and Lynette said
15:01that she hears somebody
15:02crying in one of the stalls,
15:03and she says
15:04that it's Reese
15:05because she recognizes
15:06her leather tabbies.
15:07Travis tells Paul
15:09in the parking lot
15:10that he heard about
15:10a dead body
15:11from some bitch
15:13in first period,
15:13and who does he have
15:15first period with?
15:16Reese.
15:17And Dash heard about
15:19the body from Dakota,
15:20who is Reese's
15:21second best friend,
15:22but she has been fighting
15:23for that number one spot.
15:25So, I mean,
15:26she would do anything
15:27that Reese says.
15:28So if Reese told Dakota
15:30to lie about where
15:31she heard about the body...
15:32This is all coming
15:34back to Reese.
15:34Okay, so is Reese
15:36witness zero,
15:37or is she the killer?
15:41Sadie!
15:41Sadie!
15:48Yeah.
15:50Okay.
15:52You know,
15:53the night Sadie
15:54went missing,
15:54it was pouring rain,
15:56and the shelter was full,
15:57so I'm thinking
15:57she crawled in here
15:59to stay dry
15:59and got trapped.
16:01A couple months ago,
16:03I found a bunch of guys
16:04living it up
16:04in an access tunnel.
16:06Electricity,
16:07Wi-Fi,
16:07the whole thing.
16:10They had the right idea.
16:11But you also have
16:12electricity and Wi-Fi.
16:13Yeah, but I have
16:14to pay for it.
16:15Right.
16:17You know,
16:18one of those gays,
16:18if they locked behind her,
16:19she could be trapped
16:20or too injured
16:21to crawl out.
16:22Yeah, but at this point,
16:23she's probably dead
16:24from dehydration.
16:26Wait, what?
16:30Sadie!
16:32If you can hear me,
16:33make a sound!
16:36God!
16:45Desmond.
16:46Where are you?
16:47I'm inside a service tunnel
16:48looking for Sadie.
16:49I called the shelter.
16:50She showed up this morning.
16:51You're kidding.
16:52Well, why didn't they call us?
16:53They never do.
16:54So she was fine
16:55this whole time?
16:56Yeah, it turns out
16:56that her friend
16:57had the visitation date wrong.
16:59But hey, cheer up.
17:00At least you only wasted
17:01your own time.
17:05I am so sorry.
17:10I am so sorry.
17:32Okay, first of all,
17:33do not refer to any group
17:34that includes Smitty
17:35as the cavalry in second.
17:37Those guys will forgive you.
17:38Or, you know,
17:38somebody else will screw up
17:39way worse
17:40and then they'll be
17:40focused on that.
17:41Well, I'm kidding.
17:43Hey.
17:43One misstep does not
17:45change the fact
17:45that your instincts here
17:46are legendary.
17:48So just take a second
17:49to wallow in this
17:50but then get cleaned up
17:51and get back out there, yeah?
17:52Yeah.
17:58Hey.
18:00Oh, you're too kind.
18:02Yes, I'm really looking forward
18:03to working with you as well,
18:04Madam Mayor.
18:05Okay, bye-bye.
18:07Sorry.
18:07I've been so busy.
18:09Before I make
18:10the big move upstairs,
18:11I wanted to get our house
18:12in order a little bit,
18:13clear the deck.
18:14So we have 27 felony arrests
18:18awaiting prosecution.
18:19We just do not have the manpower.
18:21I can take them all to trial.
18:22Why?
18:23Did you lose some ADAs
18:24or something?
18:26There's been turnover, yes.
18:28So I've got plea deals
18:29approved for all these cases
18:31and I need you both
18:32to get them signed ASAP.
18:33Murder, too?
18:34This guy robbed a convenience store
18:36and the clerk had a heart attack.
18:37That is felony manslaughter
18:38at best.
18:39And a teen who pegged
18:40his principal with a football
18:41is assault with a deadly weapon?
18:43Did the DA sign off on these?
18:44I pointed to the significant
18:45mandate voters handed me
18:47and he agreed.
18:48Well, their lawyers
18:49are not going to agree
18:50to these terms.
18:51Make them agree.
19:03Apple Pruitt.
19:04She lives in my building.
19:06Her mother reported
19:06her missing a month ago
19:07when she didn't return
19:08from Coachella.
19:10Every year we get a spike
19:11in imports after Coachella.
19:13This is one time
19:13this guy disassociated so hard
19:15he reported himself missing.
19:17No, but this one's weird.
19:18Apple has a strong
19:20social media presence
19:21but didn't post anything
19:22about what happened this year.
19:24There was a massive dust storm.
19:25They canceled day two
19:26at the Sahara tent.
19:27I mean, everyone was posting about it.
19:29It's not exactly a smoking gun.
19:31Okay, listen,
19:32I know how this sounds
19:33but something is telling me
19:33to investigate.
19:36I see what's going on.
19:38You said she lives
19:38in your building?
19:39Mm-hmm.
19:40Classic move.
19:41You take a case
19:42near your house
19:43so you can investigate it
19:44from your living room.
19:45When the shift ends,
19:46you're just a few steps
19:47from your futon.
19:48I'm not trying to go home early.
19:51That's too bad.
19:53I thought you were
19:53finally catching on.
19:56There's no obvious connection
19:58between Reese and Mr. Morris.
20:00He did tutor her every week
20:01but he tutored a lot of the kids.
20:03Yeah, and his Venmo transactions
20:04show that he was pulling down
20:05six figures on top of his salary.
20:07Why is tutoring in quotes?
20:10And one of the parents
20:11added a winky face emoji.
20:16Every student who paid
20:17for tutoring got an A.
20:18The only kid who was struggling
20:19was Dash.
20:20Yeah, his mom was barely
20:21scraping tuition together.
20:22They couldn't afford
20:23anything extra.
20:24Okay, so the parents
20:26are paying for grades
20:27so the kids get into
20:28a better college
20:28but, I mean, why kill him?
20:31Maybe.
20:31He couldn't deliver.
20:32If I spent that kind of money
20:33and my kid didn't get
20:34into their dream school,
20:36I'd be pissed.
20:39Reese, have you decided
20:40what college you're going to?
20:41Um, I think I may be
20:43taking a gap year.
20:45From your social media accounts,
20:46it seems like you're
20:47all about Yale.
20:48Yeah, it was kind of
20:49my mom's thing.
20:50But you did apply.
20:52Yeah, I applied to lots of places
20:54but I didn't get in, so.
20:58Was your mom upset?
21:00Yeah, I guess.
21:02Reese, we know it was you
21:03who started the rumor.
21:05No, I heard it from CJ.
21:06We know that's not true.
21:09But you did tell Dakota
21:10and Travis and Lynette.
21:13You know how that tells me?
21:16You wanted someone to know.
21:19You wanted the police to know
21:20but you just didn't want
21:21to be the one to call.
21:23It didn't seem right
21:24that he was just
21:25lying out there.
21:27How do you know
21:28he'd been killed?
21:32I stayed late on Tuesday.
21:35My mom wanted to talk
21:36to Mr. Morris.
21:37She was so angry about Yale.
21:40She was yelling at him
21:41and he wanted to talk
21:42somewhere private
21:43so they went out back
21:44behind the school.
21:47I waited and waited
21:49and finally my mom came back.
21:53just her
21:55not him
21:57and her hands were
22:00she wouldn't talk about it
22:02but I
22:03I knew she did something.
22:07I didn't want
22:08any of this to happen.
22:09I don't even care
22:10about college.
22:17Well
22:18at least I know
22:18why I was failing the class.
22:20Your mom wasn't
22:20bribing the teacher.
22:21Yeah
22:21then I never did
22:22any homework.
22:25Listen
22:25your mom is stuck at school
22:26things are about as hectic
22:27over there as you can imagine
22:28so your dad's gonna
22:29come take you home.
22:31Is that alright?
22:32Yeah it's fine.
22:33He
22:34shows up every
22:35six to eight months
22:36to remind everybody
22:36where my mom
22:37got sole custody.
22:38I'm telling you
22:39you cannot lose.
22:40you would be a fool
22:41not to invest.
22:42Hit me up on socials
22:43I will tell you more
22:44about it okay?
22:44Hey
22:45this is my guy.
22:47How you doing?
22:48I still haven't had
22:49that grocery yet huh?
22:50I'm pacing myself.
22:51Hey sorry
22:51I haven't been around much
22:52been uh
22:52working crazy hours
22:54um
22:54but good news
22:55Tiger Bear
22:56has one more investor
22:57signed on
22:57with a non-binding
22:58verbal agreement.
22:59Tiger Bear?
23:00It's a soup.
23:01It's a breakfast soup.
23:02Dash come on
23:02no
23:03that was the last one.
23:04Tiger Bear Whiskey Tequila
23:05is the whiskey-less startup.
23:07It's gonna be huge.
23:08You should get in
23:09on the ground floor champ.
23:10I'm telling you
23:10an investment
23:11of ten grand
23:11will triple
23:12by the end of the year
23:13guaranteed.
23:14You do know
23:15your son found
23:15one of his teachers
23:16dead behind
23:16the school gym today.
23:18Damn it!
23:20Sorry.
23:21Sorry.
23:21Uh okay.
23:22Uh keep going.
23:23Uh so
23:23Dash was working out
23:25and uh
23:25Just take me home.
23:27Will they have to
23:27excavate the passenger seat
23:28for parking tickets again
23:29or
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
23:40by my place first
23:41but we'll make it a pro app.
23:42You know
23:42or some za.
23:43We'll watch last week's UFC.
23:45That problem?
23:47Just the universal
23:48unfairness of the world.
23:49Nothing actionable.
23:53Thanks for coming in.
23:55This is a plea deal
23:56and before you ask
23:57it's the best deal
23:57your client's gonna get.
23:58I know
23:59murder too
24:00it seems excessive.
24:01I mean
24:01all you did was
24:02rob a convenience store.
24:03It wasn't
24:04your fault
24:05that the clerk
24:05had a heart attack.
24:06The man had
24:07end stage heart disease.
24:08Now
24:08a jury could see that
24:10as extenuating circumstances.
24:12I mean
24:13if the jury was blind
24:14maybe they'd see that
24:15as a gang tattoo.
24:16But I don't have to
24:17risk that possibility
24:18if you just say yes
24:19to the plea.
24:20I mean who cares
24:20there's no precedent
24:21for a felony prosecution
24:22this severe.
24:23So what if our only witness
24:25has been charged
24:25with perjury
24:26and false accusations
24:27in two other cases?
24:29I mean
24:29if you think
24:29you could do better
24:30at trial
24:30you just push
24:32that plea deal
24:32right back at me.
24:55The music is nowhere near
24:57too loud.

38:24i've had some experience with bad fathers and the love the sons feel for them no matter how many times
38:30they get their hearts broken and unless you're willing to change and i mean really change
38:38the best thing you can do for dash is just leave him the hell alone
38:51what were you thinking i'm fine thanks for asking do you know how close you were to becoming a missing
38:58person yourself if she would have succeeded in killing you how would i have known first thing
39:01she'd do is destroy your phone so 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
