Short filmTranscript
00:00You live inside my heart, brown eyes in the line of fire.
00:08I get worried when you're gone too long.
00:13Sorry, did you say something?
00:15No, you just were making a face.
00:18Everything all right?
00:18Yeah, yeah, totally.
00:20It's just, um, well, Raj wrote a new song about me.
00:24I mean, he's so talented, and it's so beautiful, and it's all...
00:28A little overwhelming?
00:30Yeah.
00:30I wish somebody was writing love songs about me.
00:32The three of you are so happy, my love life is as cold as a frosted frog.
00:36You're young, Penn. There's plenty of time to find true happiness.
00:39Yeah, or learn to love being alone.
00:42All right, let's focus.
00:43Just got out of a meeting with the brass, and everyone is feeling the pinch.
00:47Recruitment numbers are down, retirement numbers are up.
00:49Bottom line, prepare to work more OT where the department manages staffing shortages,
00:53and we launched this new recruitment drive.
00:59Oh!
01:01What's going on?
01:02We won!
01:03We won!
01:04We won!
01:05Won what?
01:06The lottery.
01:08Shangri-La has been playing every week for 12 years.
01:13We're rich, bitch!
01:14Smitty, out.
01:19When did you say this recruitment drive was?
01:22I'm gonna win for you like I know you want me to do.
01:30You should call in sick. Hang out with me on my day off.
01:33That would be a bad look on my first day back.
01:35Oh, it would be fine. I mean, do you even have an official job yet?
01:39No, and I'm trying so hard to be zen about that.
01:42My former position was perfect, and it's my own fault for taking a leave and going to D.C.
01:47Any idea what Kevin Foster's gonna give you?
01:48No, we're talking first thing this morning.
01:51So what are you gonna do today?
01:52I'm gonna find out how many naps. There's too many naps.
01:55My plan is to do absolutely nothing.
01:58Oh, you were gonna fix the drain in the shower.
02:00Absolutely nothing except fix the drain in the shower.
02:03Okay.
02:04Though I know it's not my hair in there.
02:07What was that?
02:07I said have a good day out there.
02:10Okay.
02:17I'm confused. I just voted for you.
02:20Why are you two going to work?
02:21Shouldn't you be doing the whole last minute campaigning thing?
02:24Rita wanted him to, but we talked about it and...
02:26I'm gonna lose. Badly.
02:28Rita gave us the latest poll numbers and then quit.
02:30So rather than waste another minute on a failed campaign that neither one of us enjoyed for a second,
02:34we are first day of the rest of our lives in here.
02:37Okay.
02:37Well, I can't complain about having my bestie back on the job.
02:40Hey, why don't we do dinner tonight? Just the four of us.
02:43You're not gonna watch the returns?
02:44No. There's no point.
02:47I love you loser.
02:49I love you too.
02:52You would have made an amazing DA.
02:55Thanks.
02:57Bye.
03:01Vivian is gonna fire him the second she wins, isn't she?
03:04A hundred percent.
03:06Yeah.
03:07Alright, I'll be right in.
03:09Alright.
03:14Sup?
03:14Hey, um, how would you feel about having a small gathering at your house tonight?
03:18Oh. What's the occasion?
03:20Wesley tanking the DA race.
03:22Is that cause for celebration?
03:23No, but it is a time for friends to get together and support each other no matter what.
03:28Also, it needs to be a surprise or else they'll just try and talk me out of it.
03:31Got it. Yeah, sure. We can have it here.
03:32Great. I will start a group chat.
03:34Alright. Do you need me to end you hung up?
03:38Here's what I love. The clear amount of industry and effort that you've put in.
03:43But?
03:45But it is a little, you know, narrowly focused. Join the LAPD. Be a badass hero. Protect the innocent.
03:53It's reflective of your lived experience, but it's not exactly reflective of the multitude that is the LAPD.
04:01Yeah. Great. You're in charge of staffing this up.
04:03What? Hold on. No, that's... I was not trying to...
04:06Hmm?
04:08Fine.
04:10Penn!
04:10Juarez!
04:12You're on a special assignment today.
04:13What? Penn's still a rookie?
04:14Exactly. Who better to give insight to a recruit than someone going through training?
04:18Guys, get started. Paperwork's inside.
04:21Hey. How's it going?
04:22Good. Did the brass send you down here to help me with a recruitment drive?
04:25In a consulting capacity. And only if you need me.
04:28So say you don't need me so I can go back to work.
04:31Ha!
04:32Oh, are you okay?
04:33Yeah, I'm fine.
04:35Smitty!
04:36What?
04:37You quit!
04:38No!
04:40I took an unscheduled day off while I briefly submitted my retirement papers, but that's all done now.
04:46Why? What happened?
04:47Oh, they say I didn't kick in for my share of the ticket so I don't get my share of
04:51the payout.
04:51But I'm always late with the lieutenant. They know I'm good for it.
04:55Ah!
04:55Oh, God. You are not okay.
04:57Smitty, make yourself useful and get the lieutenant down to St. Stephen's.
04:59No, no. I can drive myself.
05:00No, you can't, but I can call an ambulance.
05:02Or your wife. We can call your wife.
05:03No. No. Definitely not.
05:05Let's go, Smitty.
05:08I do not want to hear about your lottery situation.
05:11No problem.
05:12But I do have a teletherapy appointment starting at 5, so...
05:16You might overhear a bit.
05:21Good morning.
05:22Oh, good morning. Come on in.
05:24Thank you for being so understanding.
05:27I know I left you in the lurch when I went to D.C.
05:29All good.
05:30So, what do you have in store for me?
05:33Well, obviously, your old job is gone.
05:35But we do have a new class of paramedic recruits.
05:38And I want you to train one.
05:40You're giving me a rookie?
05:42I am.
05:43Oakley!
05:45Yes, sir?
05:46This is Bailey Noon. You'll be training with her.
05:48Pleasure to meet you. I meet you to get started.
05:50I've read everything there is to read on triage medicine.
05:53Not just in the U.S., but as far afield as Mumbai.
05:55They published a fascinating study 12 days ago on emergency medicine and high-density populations.
06:00I gotta send you a link.
06:01Do you read Hindi, by any chance? Or do you need the English translation?
06:06Good luck.
06:08Officer in Agony here.
06:11Bat 11.
06:12Oh, hell no. I changed my mind. I'm fine. I'm fine.
06:15Oh, what is going on?
06:17He woke up with a stabbing pain in his lower back and hoed 20 feet.
06:21The Smitty!
06:22What?
06:22I could hear you cursing from outside the station bathroom.
06:25Oh, my God.
06:27Wait. You're that doctor. You're the one...
06:30Smitty! Get out of here now.
06:31Back to the station.
06:33Yes, sir. Good luck.
06:36I'm the doctor that what?
06:38You don't know.
06:39I really don't, but you know what? That can wait till we figure out what is going on with you.
06:43I want a different doctor.
06:45I am the only one who's free right now.
06:47Oh, wait.
06:49You sure?
06:50Yeah.
06:52Okay.
06:55Please tell me you haven't napped yet, and that you haven't forgotten to fix the bathroom drain.
07:00No, of course not.
07:01I just called to see where you were assigned.
07:04I got a rookie.
07:05I knew you secretly wanted to be me.
07:08I've never trained anyone before.
07:10It's my first day back, and this kid is kind of green.
07:14So, are you looking for some tips?
07:16Would you come meet us, give a first blush eval, and maybe a few pointers?
07:22Yes, of course. But it's gonna cost you.
07:25I should hope so. I gotta go.
07:27All right. Looking forward to you hung up as well.
07:31A buttload of hemostatic gauze as requested.
07:37How can I help?
07:38Uh, watch first. I like things a certain way.
07:42A lot of people put their first-in bag on the gurney, but I like it in the outside compartment.
07:47That way I can grab the gurney while you grab the bag. Smart.
07:49Mm.
07:51You know, in early agrarian societies they used to-
07:52Why don't you just focus on modern emergency medicine?
07:55Yeah, yeah, of course.
07:58But I find that understanding the history of things can give context to modern emergency medicine,
08:02and elucidates the reasons why we do things the way we do today.
08:08All right, look, you can spot the losers a mile away.
08:11Don't waste any time with anyone you know won't pass the physical exam or the psych valve.
08:14Got it.
08:15Um, fill out a questionnaire, let them know that we follow up with a polygraph and a background check.
08:19That'll knock out at least a third of the duds.
08:21Okay, just so I can set expectations, I mean, what ratio of good candidates to losers should we expect?
08:29Does this background check include Florida?
08:32So I have been arrested before, but I wasn't convicted. Does that count?
08:35Defense?
08:36What was the charge?
08:37Befouling the punch bowl at a company picnic.
08:41And felony murder.
08:43And I thought to myself, why not take this white-hot rage that I feel every second of every day
08:50and use it for something positive?
08:52Like curb-stomping violent felons.
08:55Okay, try MMA.
08:57Next.
08:59Morning.
09:01Heard about the personnel shortage.
09:03And, uh, well, you guys need cops and I want back in.
09:07So, how can we make this happen?
09:13Where did you go to school?
09:14Johns Hopkins for my masters in neuroscience.
09:16Well, actually it was a double masters in that and philosophy.
09:20Okay.
09:21Well, when we, uh...
09:22I had a PhD in molecular biology at UCLA.
09:24And then I spent a year at Oxford doing medical research.
09:26And that was around the time I started to think,
09:28maybe I should have some real life experience.
09:31Well, you've come to the right place.
09:33Okay.
09:34Rescue 53, respond to 31488 12th Avenue.
09:37Manage of stress, unknown description, unknown injuries.
09:40And there's no better time to start.
09:42Control, this is Rescue 53.
09:44Show us responding.
10:02Control, this is Rescue 53.
10:04On scene for the distressed male at 12th Avenue.
10:10Thought we'd be doing this over coffee.
10:12What better way to evaluate him than seeing him in action?
10:14See you in action.
10:16Exactly.
10:16Jace, this is my husband, John.
10:18He's off duty, LAPD.
10:19Nice to meet you.
10:20He looks way more than distressed.
10:22Let's flip him over, grab his head and keep him stable.
10:24On three.
10:25One, two, three.
10:29He's alive, but unconscious.
10:31Probably from heavy blood loss.
10:38Oh.
10:39Gunshot wounds.
10:40That explains the heavy blood loss.
10:47Get off!
10:48Easy, easy.
10:49I'm pushing ketamine.
10:50We're trying to help you.
10:54Let's get him to St. Stephen's.
10:55Alright, I'll mobilize LAPD.
10:57Radio's in the car.
11:04Get away from him.
11:06Weapon?
11:06Hit with the radio.
11:08Please don't hurt us.
11:09Get up, traitor!
11:10He can't answer you.
11:12I gave him a sedative.
11:12Then wake him back up.
11:14But that's not how medicine works.
11:16And who the hell are you, huh?
11:17I'm a doctor.
11:18I'm just doing a ride-along.
11:19No, we can't stay here.
11:21Get Isaac in the car.
11:22You can't do that.
11:23That'll kill him.
11:24Then get him in the ambulance.
11:25You're gonna keep him alive till we get what we need.
11:27I'm on it.
11:32Whoa, whoa, whoa, hey.
11:32Back up. They got it.
11:34What do you wanna do with this guy?
11:35I-I need him.
11:36I'm just a paramedic.
11:37He's a doctor.
11:39All right, search him and let's get gone.
11:41Meet us back at the office.
11:43Heads up.
11:49Let's go.
11:52Come on, come on, come on.
11:55Get in.
12:18You know, the history of Battlefield Madison is truly fascinating.
12:21Until about 50 years ago, most major wounds were guaranteed fatal.
12:23Hey, do you wanna die?
12:24No, not particularly.
12:25Then shut.
12:26Up.
12:27And drive.
12:28What did this guy do to you, anyway?
12:29He stole our money.
12:31Now, Isaac here was in charge of keeping it safe.
12:33We were supposed to meet, divvy it up.
12:35Now he's stashed it somewhere.
12:37Trying to keep it all for himself, but that's not gonna happen.
12:40Well, this money he stole, assuming he recently stole it from someone else?
12:43Brink's truck?
12:44A bank?
12:45What?
12:45You ask a lot of questions, Doc.
12:47Shut up.
12:48The only answer I care about is, what exactly is your plan here?
12:51Three steps.
12:52Wake the traitor up.
12:54Get him to tell us where the money is.
12:55Kill him.
12:56This man is barely stable.
12:58What happens if the third step comes first?
13:00Then you're dying in this ambulance along with him.
13:06I knew Seth still had dreams of being a cop, but I did not think he would try again at
13:10me to Wilshire.
13:10Yeah, well, he thinks he's catching us at a vulnerable moment.
13:13He's right.
13:13We need cops in the street now.
13:15Not in six months after the applicant's finished training.
13:17Technically, all he has to do is pass his physical and he's back in uniform.
13:20The physical is not my concern.
13:22It is everything else.
13:23Listen, Seth has changed.
13:25I know it's hard to believe, but he's committed to a different path.
13:27You are biased, Penn.
13:29Because he saved your life.
13:30Guilty as charged, but...
13:33He deserves a second chance.
13:49Okay.
13:51I'm ready.
13:51Whatever you guys need.
13:52The only way I'll even consider recommending you for reinstatement is if you pass a polygraph.
14:01Okay.
14:03Let's do it.
14:05Are you refusing treatment?
14:06I'm not.
14:08I just saw a doctor.
14:09He told me I had kidney stones.
14:11Major ones.
14:12I'm sorry.
14:13I heard that pain is excruciating.
14:16Well, while you are being treated, I am your patient advocate.
14:20So, is there anything that you would like me to advocate for?
14:24Yes.
14:25I was severely mistreated by Dr. Ashton.
14:27I want him fired.
14:28Wade.
14:29Hey, you ass.
14:31I will check on you in a little bit.
14:35What's wrong?
14:37Luna.
14:41Can I talk to you?
14:44Did you and your husband separate because of me?
14:47What?
14:48No.
14:54You were something of a catalyst.
14:56Um, I'll admit to enjoying some harmless flirting, but if I ever gave you the impression that I wanted anything
15:03more...
15:03You absolutely gave me that impression.
15:07If I had suggested over dinner that we check into a hotel, you wouldn't have said no.
15:13Probably not.
15:14You tell yourself that it's harmless, but what it is, is selfish.
15:20It doesn't matter to you what the fallout could be, because you can just walk away.
15:25Thank God I came to my senses.
15:32Okay, we're gonna start with some easy questions.
15:34Please restrict your answers to either a yes or a no.
15:37Is your name Seth William Ridley?
15:39Yes.
15:40Do you live at 3200 Blix Street?
15:42Yes.
15:43Are you 25 years old?
15:45Yes.
15:45Okay, now to establish a proper baseline, I'm gonna ask you the same questions, but this time I want you
15:50to lie.
15:51You understand?
15:53All right.
15:54Is your name Seth William Ridley?
15:55No.
15:57Do you live at 3200 Blix Street?
15:59No.
16:01Okay, let's start.
16:03Did you ever tell me that your high school girlfriend died from a drug overdose?
16:08Yes.
16:08Was that a lie?
16:09Yes.
16:12Were you in love with Tamar Collins?
16:16Yeah, I wanted to marry her.
16:18A simple yes or no, Ridley?
16:19Sorry, yes.
16:22Yes.
16:23One year ago, did you have cancer?
16:27I did not, no.
16:29During that time, did you ever believe you were sick?
16:33No.
16:36On the day of the Kenyan wildfire, did the National Weather Service call you about the fire spreading across Eagle
16:43Rock Road?
16:43Do we really have-
16:44Answer the question, did you receive a call from the Weather Service?
16:47Yes.
16:48Did you relay that information to the officers in the field?
16:52He means us.
16:53Did you try to tell us?
16:55No.
16:56On purpose?
16:57No.
16:59I got distracted, and it was too late to warn you.
17:02I knew that you were pinned down. That was my fault.
17:06I'm sorry, but I-I was too afraid to say anything.
17:10No, you lied.
17:12To cover up your mistake like you always do.
17:17Yes.
17:19No.
17:21Not anymore.
17:23Not anymore.
17:29He's crashing.
17:34His pulse is weak, he has a pneumon thorax, the pressure is building in his chest cavity.

23:50about i really like what we did the first time around i just didn't get to nail it you know
23:54right
23:58so what's the verdict well according to the polygraph you told the truth about everything
24:01which was unexpected and proves that you've made a real effort to change okay great
24:08no it's no look the fact that you knowingly let us drive into danger failed to do anything about
24:14it and then lied to protect yourself is unforgivable to the department even though i sacrificed myself to
24:21save nolan's life what about that but does my loss count for anything honestly it's not enough even if
24:28you were to reapply to the fto program i would have to share those test results with internal affairs wait
24:34so this this whole thing's a setup i catch 22 i lie about the fire and i fail the test
24:40i tell the
24:41truth and then you're going to use it against me i thought you were giving me a fair shot here

32:55hi hi kitty adams seth ridley nice to meet you kitty you uh new to town you don't really have
33:01a
33:01big city vibe going on in a good way uh kitty i don't think you should why don't you blow
33:07off your
33:08friends and have a drink with me instead i'll tell you my life story go for it dude okay
33:18what nothing maybe it's such a bad idea it's actually good
33:30detectives from the pacific division have connected our kidnappers to a bank robbery in
33:34santa monica they made off with over two million dollars all that explains why they were so desperate
33:39to find it and why isaac was so determined not to tell them he took that secret to the grave
33:43which
33:43means that money's still out there hmm treasure hunt later but we just have to give it back right
33:50that's less fun less fun
33:56the good news is that i'm alive what's the bad news well all things considered there is none the
34:04surgery was straightforward the bullet missed all your major organs thank god but this leaves us with
34:10the outstanding question is this a life lesson or a cautionary tale something tells me you already
34:15know the answer to that oh cautionary tale all day definitely a thinker and not a doer well personally
34:22i think you would have made an excellent paramedic you have more brain power than this entire hospital
34:28and just the right amount of bravery that means a lot coming from the legend that is bailey noon
34:34and their husband's pretty cool too i told you i'll keep him you know this reminds me of a fun
34:41allegory from plato it's much more compelling in the original ancient i think you should rest i'm fine
34:47i'll just catch a uber you will not i will drive you to your hotel plus you promised me that
34:55we would
34:55have a chance to really talk so i am going to take you hostage until we do that's my girl
35:01for what it's
35:03worth i slammed the door in ashton's face today figuratively disappointing
35:13like i told you before he was just a temptation nothing more but it did shake me up a bit
35:22you have to admit that our marriage has been pretty static the last few years i would have
35:27said solid but i understand what you mean i also understand now that this was more than just a new
35:37job for you it was the beginning of something but my question is does our marriage have a part in
35:44this
35:45new beginning yes i just got my head turned around and i made a mess of things i want us
35:53to be healthy
35:54again i know we can't just click our heels together and make that happen we can if we do it
36:02in therapy
36:04yes i think that's exactly where we should look how about if i take you home you can sleep in

36:51traitorous lottery neighbors have been they couldn't wait to get out of here i mean it looks like they
36:57bought you a few things on the way out though oh if they think they can talk me out of
37:01suing by buying
37:02me barbecues and ice makers they are sadly mistaken does that mean that they're up for grabs no i'm not

37:49this great mexican spot up in the valley was it nolan and bailey's place you told he saw all the
37:58decorations what did you want me to lie yes it's fine i can think of no better place to celebrate
38:03my
38:03failures then with all of my friends you made it to the finish line you fell down on your face

38:22lot
38:25i did you tried your best and you got wrecked and now you're looking all depressed oh

38:59anymore get me a piece to eat this just feels weird
39:13oh okay just that's my yeah well thank you
39:20they're about to play your speech you want to turn on the news
39:23no no i think that's in our rearview mirror now well the beam was gonna fire you anyways might as
39:29well speak your truth it felt so good to cut through the noise you know stop playing politics
39:36it also made me realize how little i'd accomplished at the da's office i mean i tried to change the
39:41system from within but without being the boss without having that power it's a losing battle so i
39:45think i'm gonna go back to being a defense lawyer i figured but there are a lot of cops who
39:53are gonna
39:53feel betrayed like you're siding with the enemy well there's only one cop whose opinion i care about
40:00oh yeah i'm all for it our sex life was unreal and we're on opposite sides yes it was oh
40:08okay okay
40:14here's the thing i wrote the song because i think you're incredible and because i got really excited
40:18when i realized that selena rhymes with zebra and subpoena does it though close enough for art
40:24look i'm sorry that it made you feel self-conscious but a song is not a statement
40:28of truth it's an opinion i think you're the most beautiful woman in the world that does not
40:33objectively make you that okay well in case you haven't noticed i am a painfully humble person
40:37you get me how can i not be i'm surrounded by the most amazing people on the daily
40:44i mean seriously take a look at that group of badass overachievers every single one of them
40:50a unicorn in their own way you belong right there with them i won't be taking any arguments at this
40:56time
41:01all the speech uh everyone if you gather around it is official sadly wesley will not be the new
41:10district attorney that's okay but wesley clearly everybody in this room is fiercely proud of you for
41:18putting yourself out there and shining a light on what is wrong with our system and the ways in which
41:24it could be fixed if we were only collectively brave enough to try so we raise our glasses to you
41:30to wesley thank you i can't say that it was an enjoyable experience but man was it memorable
41:38we've all gone through so much together this year sometimes it felt like it was more than we could
41:42handle but it wasn't because we had each other it's safe to say that i have no idea what the
41:50future
41:50has in store but i do know one thing we won't be going through it alone because we're family so
41:57thank
41:57you you're here let's eat please we're gonna be here we don't know what to do anymore that's what we're
42:07here for that's what we're here for
