00:00:00You live inside my heart. Brown eyes in the line of fire. I get worried when you're gone too long.
00:00:13Sorry. Did you say something?
00:00:15No, you just were making a face. Everything all right?
00:00:18Yeah, yeah, totally. It's just, um, well, Raj wrote a new song about me.
00:00:24I mean, he's so talented and it's so beautiful and it's all...
00:00:28a little overwhelming. Yeah.
00:00:30I wish somebody was writing love songs about me. The three of you are so happy, my love life is
00:00:34as cold as a frosted frog.
00:00:36You're a young pen. There's plenty of time to find true happiness.
00:00:39Yeah, or learn to love being alone.
00:00:42All right, let's focus. Just got out of a meeting with the brass and everyone is feeling the pinch.
00:00:47Recruitment numbers are down, retirement numbers are up.
00:00:49Bottom line, prepare to work more OT where the department manages staffing shortages and we launched this new recruitment drive.
00:01:00Oh! What's going on?
00:01:02We won! We won!
00:01:05We won what? The lottery.
00:01:08Shangri-La has been played every week for 12 years.
00:01:13We're rich, bitch!
00:01:14Smitty, out.
00:01:19When did you say this recruitment drive was?
00:01:30You should call in sick. Hang out with me on my day off.
00:01:33That would be a bad look on my first day back.
00:01:35Oh, it would be fine. I mean, do you even have an official job yet?
00:01:39No, and I'm trying so hard to be zen about that.
00:01:42My former position was perfect.
00:01:44It's my own fault for taking a leave and going to D.C.
00:01:47Any idea what Kevin Faust is going to give you?
00:01:48No, we're talking first thing this morning.
00:01:51So what are you going to do today?
00:01:52I'm going to find out how many naps. There's too many naps.
00:01:55My plan is to do absolutely nothing.
00:01:58Oh, you were going to fix the drain in the shower.
00:02:00Absolutely nothing except fix the drain in the shower.
00:02:03Okay.
00:02:05Though I know it's not my hair in there.
00:02:07What was that?
00:02:08I said, have a good day out there.
00:02:10Okay.
00:02:11Okay.
00:02:17I'm confused.
00:02:18I just voted for you.
00:02:20Why are you two going to work?
00:02:21Shouldn't you be doing the whole last minute campaigning thing?
00:02:24Rita wanted him to, but we talked about it and...
00:02:26I'm going to lose.
00:02:27Badly.
00:02:28Rita gave us the latest poll numbers and then quit.
00:02:30So rather than waste another minute on a failed campaign that neither one of us enjoyed
00:02:33for a second, we are first day of the rest of our lives in it.
00:02:37Okay.
00:02:37Well, I can't complain about having my bestie back on the job.
00:02:40Hey, why don't we do dinner tonight?
00:02:42Just the four of us.
00:02:43You're not going to watch the returns?
00:02:45No.
00:02:45There's no point.
00:02:47I love you, loser.
00:02:49I love you, too.
00:02:52You would have made an amazing DA.
00:02:55Thanks.
00:02:57Bye.
00:03:01Vivienne is going to fire him the second she wins, isn't she?
00:03:04A hundred percent.
00:03:06Yeah.
00:03:07All right.
00:03:07I'll be right in.
00:03:08All right.
00:03:14What's up?
00:03:14Hey, um, how would you feel about having a small gathering at your house tonight?
00:03:19Oh, what's the occasion?
00:03:20Wesley tanking the DA race.
00:03:22Is that cause for celebration?
00:03:23No, but it is a time for friends to get together and support each other no matter what.
00:03:28Also, it needs to be a surprise or else we'll just try and talk me out of it.
00:03:31Got it.
00:03:31Yeah, sure.
00:03:32We can have it here.
00:03:32Great.
00:03:33I will start a group chat.
00:03:34All right.
00:03:35Do you need me to end you hung up?
00:03:38Here's what I love.
00:03:39The clear amount of industry and effort that you've put in.
00:03:43But?
00:03:46But it is a little, you know, narrowly focused.
00:03:50Join the LAPD.
00:03:51Be a badass hero.
00:03:52Protect the innocent.
00:03:53It's reflective of your lived experience, but it's not exactly reflective of the multitude
00:03:58that is the LAPD.
00:04:01Yeah.
00:04:02Great.
00:04:02You're in charge of staffing this up.
00:04:03What?
00:04:04Hold on.
00:04:04No, that's...
00:04:05I was not trying to...
00:04:06Hmm?
00:04:08Fine.
00:04:10Penn, Juarez, you're on a special assignment today.
00:04:13Penn's still a rookie?
00:04:14Exactly.
00:04:15Who better to give insight to a recruit than someone going through training?
00:04:18Guys, get started.
00:04:19The paperwork's inside.
00:04:21Hey, how's it going?
00:04:22Good.
00:04:23Did the brass send you down here to help me with the recruitment drive?
00:04:25In a consulting capacity.
00:04:27And only if you need me.
00:04:28So say you don't need me so I can go back to work.
00:04:31Ah!
00:04:32Whoa, are you okay?
00:04:33Yeah, I'm fine.
00:04:35Smitty!
00:04:36What?
00:04:37You quit.
00:04:38No.
00:04:40I took an unscheduled day off while I briefly submitted my retirement papers, but that's
00:04:45all done now.
00:04:46Why?
00:04:47What happened?
00:04:47Oh, they say I didn't kick in for my share of the ticket so I don't get my share of
00:04:51the
00:04:51payout, but I'm always late with the wife's hander.
00:04:53They know I'm good for it.
00:04:55Ah!
00:04:55Oh, God.
00:04:56You are not okay.
00:04:57Smitty, make yourself useful and get the lieutenant down to St. Stephen's.
00:04:59No, no, I can drive myself.
00:05:00No, you can't, but I can call an ambulance.
00:05:02Or your wife?
00:05:03We can call your wife.
00:05:03No, no, definitely not.
00:05:05Let's go, Smitty.
00:05:08I do not want to hear about your lottery situation.
00:05:11No problem, but I do have a teletherapy appointment starting at 5, so you might overhear a bit.
00:05:21Good morning.
00:05:22Oh, good morning.
00:05:23Come on in.
00:05:24Thank you for being so understanding.
00:05:27I know I left you in the lurch when I went to D.C.
00:05:29All good.
00:05:30So, what do you have in store for me?
00:05:33Well, obviously your old job is gone, but we do have a new class of paramedic recruits,
00:05:38and I want you to train one.
00:05:40You're giving me a rookie?
00:05:41I am.
00:05:43Oakley!
00:05:45Yes, sir?
00:05:46This is Bailey Noon.
00:05:47You'll be training with her.
00:05:48Pleasure to meet you.
00:05:49I meet you to get started.
00:05:50I've read everything there is to read on triage medicine, not just in the U.S., but as far
00:05:54field as Mumbai.
00:05:55They published a fascinating study 12 days ago on emergency medicine in high-density populations.
00:06:00I can send you a link.
00:06:01Do you read Hindi by any chance, or do you need the English translation?
00:06:06Good luck.
00:06:08Officer in agony here.
00:06:11Bed 11.
00:06:12Oh, hell no.
00:06:13I changed my mind.
00:06:14I'm fine.
00:06:14I'm fine.
00:06:16Oh, what is going on?
00:06:17He woke up with a stabbing pain in his lower back, and it hurt 20 people.
00:06:21The Smitty!
00:06:22What?
00:06:22I could hear you cursing from outside the station bathroom.
00:06:25Oh, my God.
00:06:27Wait.
00:06:28You're that doctor.
00:06:29You're the one.
00:06:30Smitty!
00:06:30Get out of here now.
00:06:32Back to the station.
00:06:33Yes, sir.
00:06:34Good luck.
00:06:36I'm the doctor that what?
00:06:38Like you don't know.
00:06:39I really don't, but you know what?
00:06:41That can wait till we figure out what is going on with you.
00:06:43I want a different doctor.
00:06:45I am the only one who's free right now.
00:06:47Oh, wait.
00:06:49Are you sure?
00:06:50Yeah.
00:06:52Okay.
00:06:55Please tell me you haven't napped yet, and that you haven't forgotten to fix the bathroom
00:07:00drain.
00:07:00No, of course not.
00:07:01I just called to see where you were assigned.
00:07:04I got a rookie.
00:07:06I knew you secretly wanted to be me.
00:07:08I've never trained anyone before.
00:07:10It's my first day back, and this kid is kind of green.
00:07:14So, are you looking for some tips?
00:07:16Would you come meet us?
00:07:18Give a first blush eval, and maybe a few pointers?
00:07:22Yes, of course.
00:07:23But it's going to cost you.
00:07:25I should hope so.
00:07:27I gotta go.
00:07:28All right.
00:07:28Looking forward to you hung up as well.
00:07:31A butt load of hemostatic gauze as requested.
00:07:37How can I help?
00:07:38Uh, watch first.
00:07:40I like things a certain way.
00:07:42A lot of people put their first-in bag on the gurney, but I like it in the outside compartment.
00:07:47That way I can grab the gurney while you grab the bag.
00:07:49Smart.
00:07:50You know, in early agrarian societies, they used to just...
00:07:52Let's just focus on modern emergency medicine.
00:07:55Yeah, yeah, of course.
00:07:58But I find that understanding the history of things can give context to modern emergency medicine
00:08:02and elucidates the reasons why we do things the way we do today.
00:08:08All right, look, you can spot the losers a mile away.
00:08:11Don't waste any time with anyone you know won't pass the physical exam or the sight valve.
00:08:14Got it.
00:08:15Um, fill out a questionnaire.
00:08:16Let them know that we follow up with a polygraph and a background check.
00:08:19That'll knock out at least a third of the duds.
00:08:21Okay, just so I can set expectations, I mean, what ratio of good candidates to losers should we expect?
00:08:29Does this background check include Florida?
00:08:32So I have been arrested before, but I wasn't convicted.
00:08:35Does that count?
00:08:35Defense.
00:08:36What was the charge?
00:08:37Defouling the punch bowl at a company picnic and felony murder.
00:08:44And I thought to myself, why not take this white-hot rage that I feel every second of every day
00:08:50and use it for something positive, like curb-stomping violent felons?
00:08:55Okay.
00:08:56Try MMA.
00:08:57Next.
00:08:59Morning.
00:09:01Heard about the personnel shortage and, uh, well, you guys need cops and I went back in, so how can
00:09:09we make this happen?
00:09:13Where did you go to school?
00:09:14Johns Hopkins for my master's in neuroscience.
00:09:17Well, actually, I was a double master's in that and philosophy.
00:09:20Okay.
00:09:21Well, when we, uh...
00:09:22I had a PhD in molecular biology at UCLA.
00:09:24And then I spent a year at Oxford doing medical research.
00:09:26And that was around the time I started to think, uh, maybe I should have some real-life experience.
00:09:31Well, you've come to the right place.
00:09:33Rescue 53, respond to 314-8812th Avenue.
00:09:37Manage a stress, unknown description, unknown injuries.
00:09:40And there's no better time to start.
00:09:42Control, this is Rescue 53.
00:09:44Show us responding.
00:10:02Control, this is Rescue 53 on scene with a distressed male at 12th Avenue.
00:10:10I thought we'd be doing this over coffee.
00:10:12What better way to evaluate him than seeing him in action?
00:10:14See you in action.
00:10:16Exactly.
00:10:16Chase, this is my husband, John.
00:10:18He's off-duty LAPD.
00:10:19Nice to meet you.
00:10:20He looks way more than distressed.
00:10:22Let's flip him over, grab his head, and keep him stable.
00:10:24On three.
00:10:25One, two, three.
00:10:29He's alive, but unconscious.
00:10:31Probably from heavy blood loss.
00:10:38Oh.
00:10:39Gun shovels.
00:10:40That explains the heavy blood loss.
00:10:47Please get off him.
00:10:48Easy, easy.
00:10:49I'm pushing ketamine.
00:10:50We're trying to help you.
00:10:54Let's get him to St. Stephen's.
00:10:55All right.
00:10:56I'll mobilize LAPD.
00:10:57Radio's in the car.
00:11:04Get away from him.
00:11:06Flipping?
00:11:07With the radio.
00:11:08Please don't hurt us.
00:11:10Get up, traitor.
00:11:10He can't answer you.
00:11:12I gave him a sedative.
00:11:13Then wake him back up.
00:11:14That's not how medicine works.
00:11:16And who the hell are you, huh?
00:11:17I'm a doctor.
00:11:18I'm just doing a ride-along.
00:11:19No, we can't stay here.
00:11:21Get Isaac in the car.
00:11:22You can't do that.
00:11:23That'll kill him.
00:11:24And get him in the ambulance.
00:11:25You're gonna keep him alive till we get what we need.
00:11:27I'm on it.
00:11:32Whoa, whoa, whoa.
00:11:32Hey, back up.
00:11:33They got it.
00:11:34What do you want to do with this guy?
00:11:35I need him.
00:11:36I'm just a paramedic.
00:11:37He's a doctor.
00:11:39All right.
00:11:40Search him and let's get gone.
00:11:42Meet us back at the office.
00:11:43Hands up.
00:11:49Let's go.
00:11:53Come on, come on, come on.
00:11:55Get in.
00:11:56Get in.
00:12:18You know, the history of Battlefield Madison is truly fascinating.
00:12:21Until about 50 years ago, most major wounds were guaranteed fatal.
00:12:24Hey, do you want to die?
00:12:24No, not particularly.
00:12:25Then shut up and drive.
00:12:28What did this guy do to you anyway?
00:12:29He stole our money.
00:12:31Isaac here was in charge of keeping it safe.
00:12:33We were supposed to meet, divvy it up.
00:12:35Now he's stashed it somewhere.
00:12:37Trying to keep it all for himself, but that's not going to happen.
00:12:40Well, this money he stole, assuming he recently stole it from someone else.
00:12:43Brink's truck, bank, what?
00:12:45You ask a lot of questions.
00:12:47Yeah.
00:12:47Shut up.
00:12:48The only answer I care about is, what exactly is your plan here?
00:12:51Three steps.
00:12:52Wake the traitor up.
00:12:54Get him to tell us where the money is.
00:12:55Kill him.
00:12:56This man is barely stable.
00:12:58What happens if the third step comes first?
00:13:00Then you're dying in this ambulance along with him.
00:13:06I knew Seth still had dreams of being a cop, but I did not think he would try again at
00:13:10Mid-Wiltshire.
00:13:10Yeah, well, he thinks he's catching us at a vulnerable moment.
00:13:13He's right.
00:13:13We need cops in the street now, not in six months after the applicants finish training.
00:13:17Technically, all he has to do is pass his physical and he's back in uniform.
00:13:20The physical is not my concern.
00:13:22It is everything else.
00:13:24Listen, Seth has changed.
00:13:25I know it's hard to believe, but he's committed to a different path.
00:13:27You are biased, Penn, because he saved your life.
00:13:30Guilty as charged, but he deserves a second chance.
00:13:49Okay.
00:13:51I'm ready.
00:13:52Whatever you guys need.
00:13:52The only way I'll even consider recommending you for reinstatement is if you pass a polygraph.
00:14:03Okay, let's do it.
00:14:04Why are you refusing treatment?
00:14:06I'm not.
00:14:08I just saw a doctor who told me I had kidney stones, major ones.
00:14:12I'm sorry.
00:14:13I heard that pain is excruciating.
00:14:16Well, while you are being treated, I am your patient advocate.
00:14:20So, is there anything that you would like me to advocate for?
00:14:24Yes.
00:14:25I was severely mistreated by Dr. Ashton.
00:14:27I want him fired.
00:14:28Wade.
00:14:29Hey, you asked.
00:14:31I will check on you in a little bit.
00:14:38Luna.
00:14:40Look.
00:14:41Can I talk to you?
00:14:45Did you and your husband separate because of me?
00:14:47What?
00:14:48No.
00:14:54You were something of a catalyst.
00:14:56Um, I'll admit to enjoying some harmless flirting, but if I ever gave you the impression that I wanted anything
00:15:03more...
00:15:03You absolutely gave me that impression.
00:15:07If I had suggested over dinner that we check into a hotel, you wouldn't have said no.
00:15:13Probably not.
00:15:14You tell yourself that it's harmless, but what it is, is selfish.
00:15:20It doesn't matter to you what the fallout could be, because you can just walk away.
00:15:25Thank God I came to my senses.
00:15:32Okay, we're going to start with some easy questions.
00:15:34Please restrict your answers to either a yes or a no.
00:15:37Is your name Seth William Ridley?
00:15:39Yes.
00:15:40Do you live at 3200 Blix Street?
00:15:42Yes.
00:15:43Are you 25 years old?
00:15:45Yes.
00:15:45Okay, now to establish a proper baseline, I'm going to ask you the same questions, but this time I want
00:15:50you to lie.
00:15:51You understand?
00:15:53All right.
00:15:54Is your name Seth William Ridley?
00:15:56No.
00:15:57Do you live at 3200 Blix Street?
00:16:00No.
00:16:01Okay, let's start.
00:16:03Did you ever tell me that your high school girlfriend died from a drug overdose?
00:16:08Yes.
00:16:09Was that a lie?
00:16:09Yes.
00:16:12Were you in love with Tamar Collins?
00:16:16Yeah, I wanted to marry her.
00:16:18A simple yes or no, Ridley?
00:16:19Sorry, yes.
00:16:23One year ago, did you have cancer?
00:16:27I did not, no.
00:16:29During that time, did you ever believe you were sick?
00:16:33No.
00:16:36On the day of the Kenyan wildfire, did the National Weather Service call you about the fire spreading across Eagle
00:16:43Rock Road?
00:16:43Do we really ask you?
00:16:44Answer the question.
00:16:44Did you receive a call from the Weather Service?
00:16:47Yes.
00:16:48Did you relay that information to the officers in the field?
00:16:52He means us.
00:16:53Did you try to tell us?
00:16:55No.
00:16:56On purpose?
00:16:57No.
00:16:59I got distracted, and it was too late to warn you.
00:17:02I knew that you were pinned down.
00:17:04That was my fault.
00:17:06I'm sorry, but I, I was too afraid to say anything.
00:17:10No, you lied.
00:17:12To cover up your mistake like you always do.
00:17:17Yes.
00:17:19No.
00:17:20Mm-hmm.
00:17:22Not anymore.
00:17:23Not anymore.
00:17:29He's crashing.
00:17:34He's pulsed this week.
00:17:35He has a new monthorax.
00:17:36The pressure is building in his chest cavity.
00:17:42Hold him steady on my puncture's chest.
00:17:51If you won't take us to a hospital, I need to be someplace not moving.
00:17:55You need to listen to her.
00:17:56Orange is a doctor.
00:17:57Why is she doing everything?
00:17:58I'm a radiologist.
00:17:59We don't have time for resumes.
00:18:00We need to stop the ambulance.
00:18:04How long do we get to the office?
00:18:05We're landing now.
00:18:09Come on, come on.
00:18:13I'll get the boss.
00:18:16Let's get Isaac on the table.
00:18:17Clear it off.
00:18:28How's he doing?
00:18:29Not well.
00:18:29All the fluid I transfused into him just keeps coming right back out.
00:18:32He's running out of time.
00:18:33How long before your dispatch realizes you're missing?
00:18:35A few hours.
00:18:36Firefighters aren't as worried about random violence as he's caused.
00:18:39Perhaps it's time to revisit that policy.
00:18:42I'm dying to know why you brought these randos to the office and not my money.
00:18:46Isaac took the cash and ran.
00:18:47We only caught up to him after he hit it.
00:18:49He started shooting.
00:18:50You shot back before you got my money.
00:18:52Alan's got a little excited.
00:18:53Hey, we all emptied a cliff.
00:18:55I told you to call...
00:18:56Shut up!
00:18:58You're making my head hurt.
00:18:59How bad's our boy?
00:19:00Critical.
00:19:01He needs a hospital.
00:19:02Not happening.
00:19:03Wake him up.
00:19:03Give him the Pulp Fiction shot right in the heart.
00:19:06If that shot, epinephrine would kill him.
00:19:10No!
00:19:12I'm only going to say this once.
00:19:14You got ten minutes to wake him up so I can find my money or I shoot this man next.
00:19:26I have to help him or he's going to die.
00:19:28That's why I shot him.
00:19:30Get him talking.
00:19:31Now.
00:19:34Whoa, whoa, whoa, wait.
00:19:36Let me triage my rookie or I cut your guy's carotid and you'll never find your money.
00:19:42Check out Bourne Identity, Barbie.
00:19:44What about the Hippocratic Oath?
00:19:45That's for doctors, not paramedics.
00:19:49Okay, how about this?
00:19:50You let her resurrect Isaac and you let me treat Jace.
00:19:53Is that okay?
00:19:56Fine.
00:19:57You go watch him.
00:19:58If he tries to be a hero, cap them both.
00:20:00Hey.
00:20:01Hey, I got you.
00:20:03You all right?
00:20:04You know, not really.
00:20:06Oh, God, that's a lot of blood.
00:20:07Yeah.
00:20:08I'm going to need some hemostatic gauze on there.
00:20:10Right.
00:20:10Clearly, we're going to need to work together, so slow breaths, okay?
00:20:13All right, you're going to apply some serious pressure on there.
00:20:15I might make some noise.
00:20:16Right.
00:20:17Ready?
00:20:21I'm going to pass out now.
00:20:23All right.
00:20:25Hey, hey, forget about the bleeding.
00:20:27Boss said wake him up.
00:20:28He's in hypovolemic shock.
00:20:29His blood pressure has cratered.
00:20:31He's about to die.
00:20:32If he dies, we are screwed, man.
00:20:34If he's bleeding out, give him more blood.
00:20:35I don't have any.
00:20:36So unless one of you is O-negative, the universal blood donor, we're out of luck.
00:20:40Yeah, you know, that's me.
00:20:41I needed a transfusion after I took one in the leg on the Long Beach shop because they told me
00:20:45I was O-negative.
00:20:46Perfect.
00:20:46Roll of your sleeve.
00:20:51Hi.
00:20:51Hi.
00:20:52I'm here to join the LAPD.
00:20:54What?
00:20:54Are you serious?
00:20:55Oh, God, no.
00:20:56I'd make a terrible cop.
00:20:57Aw.
00:20:57I came by to say hi and to see if you had had time to listen to the song.
00:21:03I did.
00:21:04I did.
00:21:05Oh, I'm going to go grab a soda.
00:21:07You want anything?
00:21:08No, I'm good.
00:21:09I'll take a chocolate milk.
00:21:16You didn't like it.
00:21:17Are you kidding?
00:21:19It made me cry the first ten times I listened to it, but it's a lot of pressure, you know?
00:21:24Imagine how Mona Lisa felt when Da Vinci painted her.
00:21:28I mean, everyone constantly judging whether she was worthy of being memorialized like that.
00:21:33Wow, yeah.
00:21:34I never thought about it like that.
00:21:36Thank you for comparing me to Da Vinci.
00:21:38That's an ego boost for sure.
00:21:40Okay, I can change it up.
00:21:41I can add a line about your morning breath or how you kick me in your sleep.
00:21:44Okay, I do not.
00:21:45Do I?
00:21:46Hey.
00:21:46Hi.
00:21:47I'm here to sign up for a cop job.
00:21:50You are in the right place.
00:21:53What drew you to law enforcement?
00:21:54My boyfriend's a cop and we don't get to spend much time together, so I thought this way we could
00:21:59see each other every day.
00:22:00Well, that's amazing.
00:22:01You probably know him.
00:22:02Franklin Rose.
00:22:04Franklin Rose.
00:22:06Doesn't ring a bell, but you've been here longer than me, so...
00:22:09Well, I don't know him, but I mean, it's a big building.
00:22:11I'll show you a picture.
00:22:14Eh.
00:22:19Is this recent?
00:22:19Yeah, I took it of him last week before he went to work.
00:22:22Do you mind if I take a picture?
00:22:23Great.
00:22:24This will help me find him.
00:22:26You know, here's an application.
00:22:28Why don't you fill it out over there while I track him down?
00:22:31Okay, thanks.
00:22:32Yeah.
00:22:35What's wrong?
00:22:37The badge is all wrong.
00:22:38Yeah, this thing is from the 1970s.
00:22:40Maybe he was just trying to impress his girlfriend.
00:22:43By committing a felony?
00:22:44You know, I have heard rumors about low-level dealers getting ripped off by cops who confiscate their drugs and
00:22:50let them off with a warning.
00:22:52Classic dope rib.
00:22:53All right, I'm gonna need to talk to her.
00:22:55Not a problem.
00:22:55She's still outside.
00:22:56We'll go get her.
00:23:01Hey, did you get everything?
00:23:03Boy, did I.
00:23:05You really think he's gonna appreciate us paying your demotion party forward?
00:23:08If not, we will get him drunk enough that he forgets it ever happened.
00:23:12All right, I gotta go.
00:23:13I love you.
00:23:13Love you, too.
00:23:17Hey.
00:23:17Hey.
00:23:18This must be burning.
00:23:19Oh, yeah?
00:23:20Why?
00:23:21Oh, well, uh, just, um, I was watching a news story about the, uh, election.
00:23:27What's up?
00:23:28Do you remember, like, a thousand years ago when this all started, we talked about doing an announcement speech to
00:23:32lay out my full progressive agenda?
00:23:34Yeah, before you chickened out.
00:23:36Well, if I'm gonna concede this election, I want to go out swinging.
00:23:39I want everyone to know exactly what I believe.
00:23:42Can you give me an assist?
00:23:43My speechwriter quit.
00:23:44Sure.
00:23:45Yeah, I sure can.
00:23:46You know, how about you follow me into my office, step in over here?
00:23:49Yeah.
00:23:49What kind of things were you thinking about changing?
00:23:51I mean, I didn't really like what we did the first time around.
00:23:53I just didn't get to nail it, you know?
00:23:54Oh, right.
00:23:58Sure, what's the verdict?
00:23:59Well, according to the polygraph, you told the truth about everything.
00:24:02Which was unexpected and proves that you've made a real effort to change.
00:24:05Okay, great.
00:24:08No?
00:24:09It's, no?
00:24:10Look, the fact that you knowingly let us drive into danger, failed to do anything about it,
00:24:14and then lied to protect yourself is unforgivable to the department.
00:24:18Even though I sacrificed myself to save Nolan's life?
00:24:22What about that?
00:24:23Does my loss count for anything?
00:24:25Honestly, it's not enough.
00:24:27Even if you were to reapply to the FTO program, I would have to share those test results with
00:24:31internal affairs.
00:24:32Wait.
00:24:34So, this whole thing's a setup?
00:24:37I catch 22, I lie about the fire, and I fail the test.
00:24:40I tell the truth, and then you're going to use it against me.
00:24:43I thought you were giving me a fair shot here.
00:24:45Look, I'm sorry.
00:24:45I can see that you are genuinely trying to be a better person, but there is no coming
00:24:49back from what you did.
00:24:51Not here.
00:24:57Okay, I understand.
00:25:00Thank you for giving me the opportunity to tell the truth.
00:25:04I know that could not have been easy, given what I put you through.
00:25:08Ah, man, I thought it would be enough for me to come in here and to say I'm sorry and
00:25:13to do the work and not be that guy anymore, but...
00:25:20I guess I finally understand that there are simply things I just don't get to have anymore.
00:25:25There are doors that I close that, that I'm never gonna re-open.
00:25:33Appreciate everything you taught me.
00:25:34I really do.
00:25:40Good luck, Ridley.
00:25:42You walk out of here knowing you finally took responsibility for your actions.
00:25:47And in my book, that counts for something.
00:25:59Bad news, there's no cop in the LAPD with your boyfriend's name.
00:26:02Check again.
00:26:03He's closed massive cases.
00:26:05The mayor gave him an award.
00:26:08I'm so sorry, but none of that is true.
00:26:10Well, if he's lying, why is his boss on your wall?
00:26:19You sure that's him?
00:26:20Yeah, Captain Jennings.
00:26:22Okay, well, that is problematic in a whole different way.
00:26:26Howard Jennings doesn't work here either.
00:26:28He retired eight years ago.
00:26:36Keep pumping.
00:26:37It needs to flow or it'll coagulate.
00:26:39Damn, bro.
00:26:40The human body is so cool.
00:26:43He's stabilizing.
00:26:44Uh, you might want to take a look at this.
00:26:46I think it's femoral hyperglobocyst exfoliating.
00:26:52As soon as they find out where the money is, they're going to kill us.
00:26:54We need to get way out.
00:26:55Well, you're the forgotten man right now.
00:26:57So if you see a move to make do it, I'll jump in.
00:27:01Are you sleeping, beauty?
00:27:03Where am I?
00:27:04You're in hell, bitch.
00:27:06Where's my money?
00:27:08Screw you.
00:27:09Come on, Isaac.
00:27:09You can't take it with you.
00:27:11Okay, I'll tell you.
00:27:12Come here.
00:27:12I'll tell you.
00:27:13I hit it.
00:27:14Come here.
00:27:17Just give him a second.
00:27:18He's still coming out of sedation.
00:27:20Yeah, he's never going to tell us.
00:27:21He's just going to screw us and then die.
00:27:23I hope it hurts, man.
00:27:26I hope you're in so much pain.
00:27:27You're praying for the sweet mercy of death because it's coming.
00:27:30I don't feel good.
00:27:31Can you unhook me?
00:27:33Hey, lady, you might want to tighten that tourniquet.
00:27:35Whoa, whoa.
00:27:35No!
00:27:36No!
00:27:42You tell me we're all take a foot!
00:27:45Hey, what's that mean?
00:27:46His heart sucked.
00:27:48Get him back!
00:27:49Now!
00:27:50You yelled at us for shooting him, then you chopped his arm off?
00:27:52What the hell's wrong with you?
00:27:53I'm getting my money.
00:27:54I spent six months planning this job.
00:27:56Yeah, from the safety of this office,
00:27:57while we're the ones sticking our knee.
00:27:59We need to bring him back.
00:27:59No, we're out of time.
00:28:01Hey, stop arguing.
00:28:02Get over here and help me.
00:28:03With what?
00:28:04To fix your boss's mistake.
00:28:05I need you to pinch off this artery so I get a shot of adrenaline.
00:28:08Do it!
00:28:14Hey!
00:28:16Down, honey.
00:28:17He's a cop!
00:28:19Whoa.
00:28:21Damn!
00:28:35Did we win?
00:28:36Yes, we did.
00:28:37Because of you.
00:28:38911, what's your emergency?
00:28:39This is Officer John Nolan.
00:28:41I need three units in an ambulance.
00:28:42Code three.
00:28:43Multiple assailants and one critically wounded paramedic.
00:28:46Great job, honey.
00:28:50I appreciate you coming in at such short notice, Captain.
00:28:53What, are you kidding me?
00:28:54The Margaret Hoffman case is the one I can never forget.
00:28:57If you've got a fresh lead, I'll move heaven and earth to help you bring her killer to justice.
00:29:02We've got old files laid out in here.
00:29:05Let's do it.
00:29:08Captain, I am Detective Nyla Harper.
00:29:10This is Detective Nyla Lopez.
00:29:12This isn't about Margaret Hoffman.
00:29:14No, sir.
00:29:15I'll leave you to it.
00:29:20Think you can intimidate me with your little, uh, set-up here?
00:29:23No, sir.
00:29:24You're a legendary tough guy.
00:29:25Who inspired loyalty in his men and fear in his enemies.
00:29:30Who the hell are you to mock me?
00:29:31Your worst nightmare.
00:29:33That's the first thing that springs to mind, but I don't know.
00:29:35It sounds a little cringy when I say it out loud, huh?
00:29:38We'll workshop it later.
00:29:39Okay.
00:29:39Right now, we're dying to know what happened to you.
00:29:42Why cross over to the dark side?
00:29:44I have no idea what you're talking about, and I'm leaving.
00:29:46I guess we'll just have to get our answers from Franklin Rose.
00:29:49Or the other two felons that you recruited, Marcus Kennedy and Jeremiah Gomez.
00:29:56And what crimes do you think these men have been doing?
00:29:59Well, robbing drug dealers so you can sell the product yourself.
00:30:04And before you protest that you've never heard of them,
00:30:06we have Jeremiah and Marcus in custody,
00:30:08and they dropped your name the second the cuffs came out.
00:30:11It's over, sir.
00:30:13We will be placing you under arrest.
00:30:15You have the right to remain silent.
00:30:17Anything you say can and will be used against you in a court of law.
00:30:20You have the right to an attorney.
00:30:22If you cannot afford an attorney, one will be provided for you.
00:30:25Do you understand?
00:30:32Yeah.
00:30:34Yeah, I understand.
00:30:36My entire career, I never once crossed the line.
00:30:39I was as straight and arrow as you could be.
00:30:43But my personal life was a bit, uh, more chaotic.
00:30:48Three wives, six kids.
00:30:50Seven.
00:30:51Oof.
00:30:51Got expensive.
00:30:52Got ridiculous.
00:30:54Credit cards were all maxed out.
00:30:55I was behind on everything.
00:30:56You spend your entire career cleaning up messes desperate people made.
00:31:02Feeling superior.
00:31:05Turns out we all have a tipping point.
00:31:07I was just gonna do the dope rips until I got caught up financially.
00:31:11I thought, who the hell am I hurting?
00:31:12Drug dealers?
00:31:13They'd shoot their mother for a trans am.
00:31:18I gave my life to the job.
00:31:22I did way more good for this city than the wrong I did now.
00:31:32Let's go.
00:31:33Come on.
00:31:47That's right, Glenn.
00:31:55Hi.
00:31:56Hey, baby.
00:31:57I hope it's okay.
00:31:57I wanted to surprise you.
00:31:59Boy, did you?
00:32:00They were having a recruitment drive, and I thought, wouldn't it be fun if you and me worked together?
00:32:04It would.
00:32:05Yeah, it sure would.
00:32:06But listen, baby, you haven't actually gone inside to talk to anybody, have you?
00:32:08No.
00:32:09I waited like you asked me to.
00:32:10Great.
00:32:11Oh, that is so great.
00:32:12Listen, so I do have a couple errands I have to run.
00:32:14Why don't you come with me?
00:32:16No.
00:32:16No.
00:32:17Hey, hey, hey.
00:32:18Show me your hands.
00:32:20Turn around and walk to the glass now.
00:32:22All right.
00:32:22Turn around.
00:32:23All right.
00:32:24Frankly rules.
00:32:25You're under arrest of felony robbery.
00:32:27I can't.
00:32:27Just let me call my boss.
00:32:30You don't need my man.
00:32:30Captain Jennings is already in holding.
00:32:33Let's move.
00:32:37Kitty.
00:32:38Kitty?
00:32:39Are you serious?
00:32:41I really got a golden gut, huh?
00:32:44I wouldn't know a decent guy if he came up to me and said...
00:32:47Hey.
00:32:48You weren't kidding when you said you had to go do a thing before we could drown my sorrows,
00:32:52huh?
00:32:52Mm-hmm.
00:32:54Hi.
00:32:55Hi.
00:32:56Kitty Adams.
00:32:58Seth Ridley.
00:32:58Nice to meet you, Kitty.
00:32:59You, uh, new to town?
00:33:01You don't really have a big city vibe going on.
00:33:03In a good way.
00:33:04Uh, Kitty, I don't think you should.
00:33:06Why don't you blow off your friends and have a drink with me instead?
00:33:11I'll tell you my life story.
00:33:14Go for it, dude.
00:33:15Okay.
00:33:17What?
00:33:18Nothing.
00:33:19Maybe it's such a bad idea.
00:33:20It's actually good.
00:33:30Detectives from the Pacific Division have connected our kidnappers to a bank robbery in Santa Monica.
00:33:35They made off with over $2 million.
00:33:37All that explains why they were so desperate to find it.
00:33:39And why Isaac was so determined not to tell them.
00:33:41Oh, he took that secret to the grave.
00:33:43Which means that money's still out there.
00:33:45Hmm.
00:33:45Treasure hunt later?
00:33:48But we just have to give it back.
00:33:50Right.
00:33:51That's less fun.
00:33:51Less fun.
00:33:52Mm-hmm.
00:33:56The good news is that I'm alive.
00:33:59What's the bad news?
00:34:00Well, all things considered, there is none.
00:34:03The surgery was straightforward.
00:34:05The bullet missed all your major organs.
00:34:07Thank God.
00:34:09But this leaves us with the outstanding question.
00:34:11Is this a life lesson or a cautionary tale?
00:34:14Something tells me you already know the answer to that.
00:34:16Oh.
00:34:16Cautionary tale.
00:34:18All day.
00:34:18Definitely a thinker.
00:34:20And not a doer.
00:34:21Well, personally, I think you would have made an excellent paramedic.
00:34:25You have more brainpower than this entire hospital and just the right amount of bravery.
00:34:30That means a lot, coming from the legend that is Bailey Noon.
00:34:34And her husband's pretty cool, too.
00:34:36I told you.
00:34:37I'll keep him.
00:34:39You know, this reminds me of a fun allegory from Plato.
00:34:42It's much more compelling than the original ancient deep.
00:34:45Shh.
00:34:45I think you should rest.
00:34:46I'm fine.
00:34:47I'll just catch a hooper.
00:34:49You will not.
00:34:50And we'll drive you to your hotel.
00:34:53Plus, you promised me that we would have the chance to really talk.
00:34:57So I am going to take you hostage until we do.
00:35:01That's my girl.
00:35:02For what it's worth, I slammed the door in Ashton's face today.
00:35:09Figuratively.
00:35:10Disappointing.
00:35:13Like I told you before, he was just a temptation.
00:35:17Nothing more.
00:35:18But it did shake me up a bit.
00:35:22You have to admit that our marriage has been pretty static the last few years.
00:35:27I would have said solid, but I understand what you mean.
00:35:31I also understand now that this was more than just a new job for you.
00:35:38It was the beginning of something.
00:35:41But my question is, does our marriage have a part in this new beginning?
00:35:46Yes.
00:35:47I just got my head turned around and I made a mess of things.
00:35:53I want us to be healthy again.
00:35:55I know we can't just click our heels together and make that happen.
00:35:59We can, if we do it in therapy.
00:36:04Yes.
00:36:05I think that's exactly where we should go.
00:36:09Look, how about if I take you home?
00:36:14You can sleep in the guest room if you want, but we can keep talking.
00:36:25Okay.
00:36:26I'd like that.
00:36:30You're not getting out of the night.
00:36:32Just be in your crutch.
00:36:33I'm just saying.
00:36:40Come here to celebrate the death of Shangri-La?
00:36:43Not at all.
00:36:44It's been a challenging day all around.
00:36:46Wanted to make sure you're doing okay.
00:36:48Well, thanks, kid.
00:36:49That's a lot more thoughtful than my traitorous lottery neighbors have been.
00:36:53They couldn't wait to get out of here.
00:36:56I mean, it looks like they bought you a few things on the way out, though.
00:36:59Oh, if they think they can talk me out of suing by buying me barbecues and ice makers,
00:37:04they are sadly mistaken.
00:37:06Does that mean that they're up for grabs?
00:37:07No, I'm not an idiot.
00:37:08I already sold them on eBay for a buttload.
00:37:11Okay.
00:37:11Since you're both here, I'm way past due with flushing the septic system on the RV,
00:37:16and it takes at least three hands.
00:37:18Oh, we got that.
00:37:20We got all the plans.
00:37:21The thing.
00:37:22The thing.
00:37:22Yeah, that thing.
00:37:23Yep.
00:37:24Yeah.
00:37:25You have yourself a good night, okay?
00:37:27Mm-hmm.
00:37:27Okay.
00:37:28Bye, Mr. Smitty.
00:37:29Hey, guys.
00:37:33Early returns are coming in.
00:37:35Good news?
00:37:36No.
00:37:36We're getting crushed.
00:37:38Hey.
00:37:39Okay.
00:37:39So, my concession speech is pre-recorded, ready to be released into the world just as soon
00:37:44as I officially lose.
00:37:45It's soon, babe.
00:37:46They're ready to call, then.
00:37:47Listen, let us take you to dinner.
00:37:49We know this great Mexican spot up in the valley.
00:37:51Was it Nolan and Bailey's place?
00:37:55You told.
00:37:57He saw all the decorations.
00:37:59What, did you want me to lie?
00:38:00Yes.
00:38:01It's fine.
00:38:02I can think of no better place to celebrate my failures than with all of my friends.
00:38:05You made it to the finish line, you fell down on your face while everybody watched.
00:38:15You lost a race, you tried to win, and you can't even argue because you lost by a lot.
00:38:25I did.
00:38:26You tried your best, and you got wrecked, and now you're looking all depressed.
00:38:31Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh.
00:38:36You made a new mistake, you feel ashamed.
00:38:40You don't have to lie away.
00:38:46If you think you're on your own, just come home.
00:38:50We'll be waiting when you don't know what to do anymore.
00:38:55That's what we're here for.
00:38:56Yeah!
00:38:58Yeah!
00:38:58Yeah!
00:38:59Woo!
00:38:59Woo!
00:39:00Woo!
00:39:00That's what we're here for.
00:39:03Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh.
00:39:07Get me a piece to eat.
00:39:09This just feels weird.
00:39:14Oh, just, well, that's my, okay.
00:39:16Yeah.
00:39:16Well, thank you.
00:39:20They're about to play your speech.
00:39:22You want to turn on the news?
00:39:23No.
00:39:24No, I think that's in our rearview mirror now.
00:39:26Well, if the beam was going to fire you anyways, might as well speak your truth.
00:39:31It felt so good to cut through the noise, you know, stop playing politics.
00:39:36It also made me realize how little I'd accomplished at the DA's office.
00:39:40I mean, I tried to change the system from within, but without being the boss, without having that power, it's
00:39:44a losing battle.
00:39:45So I think I'm going to go back to being a defense lawyer.
00:39:50I figured, but there are a lot of cops who are going to feel betrayed, like you're siding with the
00:39:55enemy.
00:39:56Well, there's only one cop whose opinion I care about.
00:40:00Oh.
00:40:01Yeah.
00:40:01I'm all for it.
00:40:03Our sex life was unreal, and we're on opposite sides.
00:40:06Yes, it was.
00:40:07Oh.
00:40:08Okay.
00:40:09Hmm.
00:40:10Okay.
00:40:11Okay.
00:40:14Here's the thing.
00:40:15I wrote the song because I think you're incredible, and because I got really excited when I realized that Selena
00:40:20rhymes with zebra and subpoena.
00:40:21Does it, though?
00:40:22Close enough for art.
00:40:24Look, I'm sorry that it made you feel self-conscious, but a song is not a statement of truth.
00:40:29It's an opinion.
00:40:30I think you're the most beautiful woman in the world.
00:40:32That does not objectively make you that.
00:40:34Okay, well, in case you haven't noticed, I am a painfully humble person.
00:40:38I mean, how can I not be?
00:40:39I'm surrounded by the most amazing people on the daily.
00:40:44I mean, seriously, take a look at that group of badass overachievers.
00:40:48Every single one of them a unicorn in their own way.
00:40:52And you belong right there with them.
00:40:55I won't be taking any arguments at this time.
00:41:01All the speech.
00:41:05Everyone, if you'd gather around, it is official.
00:41:07Well, sadly, Wesley will not be the new district attorney.
00:41:12That's okay.
00:41:14But, Wesley, clearly everybody in this room is fiercely proud of you for putting yourself out there and shining a
00:41:21light on what is wrong with our system and the ways in which it could be fixed if we were
00:41:25only collectively brave enough to try.
00:41:27So, we raise our glasses to you.
00:41:30To Wesley.
00:41:31Woo!
00:41:32Woo!
00:41:34I can't say that it was an enjoyable experience, but, man, was it memorable.
00:41:38We've all gone through so much together this year.
00:41:41Sometimes it felt like it was more than we could handle, but it wasn't because we had each other.
00:41:47It's safe to say that I have no idea what the future has in store, but I do know one
00:41:51thing.
00:41:52We won't be going through it alone.
00:41:54Because we're a family.
00:41:56So, thank you.
00:41:57Hear, hear.
00:41:58Yeah!
00:41:59Woo!
00:42:00Let's eat.
00:42:01Please.
00:42:02We can do it.
00:42:03And we don't know what to do anymore.
00:42:06That's what we're here for.
00:42:11That's what we're here for.
00:42:52Damn it.
00:42:57What is Tim going to show us?
00:42:59He'll kill me if I ruin the surprise.
00:43:01It's not a waffle truck.
00:43:02I asked.
00:43:02Oh.
00:43:04Welcome.
00:43:05I wanted you guys to be the first to see my new office.
00:43:08Look, if I'm going to be a more out-on-the-streetwatch commander, I need to take my office with
00:43:11me.
00:43:11Is this the new Interceptor utility vehicle?
00:43:14It is.
00:43:15700 horsepower, 8,000-pound towing capacity, level 4 ballistic door panels, dark mode, and 270-degree monitoring to analyze
00:43:23moving objects with potential threat levels.
00:43:26Calls it a super shop.
00:43:27That's a working title.
00:43:28See what we got.
00:43:29Add some bats, infrared camera, breaching tools.
00:43:34I am.
00:43:35Two 32-inch screens.
00:43:38Can I have you watch commander?
00:43:40No, but you are riding with me today.
00:43:42Oh, wait, show them droning.
00:43:43Oh, yeah.
00:43:45Check this out.
00:43:56Super shop makes a batmobile look like a kitty toy.
00:43:59And I can control it all right here from my phone.
00:44:04See?
00:44:07Damn it.
00:44:09Whoa, whoa.
00:44:10Damn it.
00:44:12Playing Tim's Pump-Up Jax.
00:44:14Damn it!
00:44:14No, no, no.
00:44:15Stop.
00:44:15Stop.
00:44:16Stop.
00:44:18Stop.
00:44:18I'm gonna film tonight.
00:44:21Don't tell you now that we're gonna get down.
00:44:25I'm gonna shake it down.
00:44:26It's not gonna be as easy as you think.
00:44:28Based on this morning's demonstration, I'm well aware.
00:44:31It's not just that you're taking the watch commander duties on patrol.
00:44:34You're also exposing yourself to chain of command confusion when you land at a scene, even if you stay in
00:44:40the SUV.
00:44:40Super shop.
00:44:42Uh, it's a, it's a working thing.
00:44:49Morning.
00:44:50Morning.
00:44:51All right, listen up.
00:44:52We're going to do things a little different today.
00:44:55There'll be two supervisors out on the street,
00:44:57Sergeant Chen and myself.
00:45:01I know, I know, no one wants the boss
00:45:03showing up to their calls,
00:45:04second-guessing their every move.
00:45:06That is not my intention, okay?
00:45:07Nothing has to change.
00:45:09I just put wheels on my office.
00:45:10And while we work out the details,
00:45:12Officer Nolan will be riding with me
00:45:14to help facilitate the transition.
00:45:15Any questions?
00:45:17Can I pick the playlist?
00:45:20It's a dumb question.
00:45:22All right, second order of business.
00:45:23Officer Juarez will be on temporary duty assignment
00:45:26with the Detectives Bureau.
00:45:27Did you choose your focus?
00:45:29Yes.
00:45:30Missing persons.
00:45:31Oof.
00:45:32You sure about that?
00:45:33Yeah.
00:45:35Your call?
00:45:36All right, I have some updates from the night shift.
00:45:38This missing person's really that bad.
00:45:41Detective Desmond has a reputation.
00:45:43Like a Harper reputation?
00:45:45No, um, opposite.
00:45:48Last day at the DA's office.
00:45:50Excited?
00:45:51I'm relieved.
00:45:52When the DA had one foot in retirement,
00:45:53now that Vivian's DA elect,
00:45:55she's gonna have free reign.
00:45:56None of that will matter once you quit
00:45:58and open a private practice in Malibu
00:45:59with a view of the ocean.
00:46:01Uh, with that commute,
00:46:02you'd never see me again.
00:46:03Well, in my dream,
00:46:04I also work in Malibu.
00:46:06I have a robot helicopter
00:46:08that flies the kids to school.
00:46:09And a pony.
00:46:10Well, sorry to kill another one of your dreams,
00:46:11but I already reached out to my old landlord,
00:46:14and the only view from that office
00:46:15is to eat the open places on the first floor.
00:46:17Oh, before you go,
00:46:18make sure you pass off my cases
00:46:19to the right prosecutors.
00:46:21Daniel's doesn't touch homicide.
00:46:22Give mine to Cosgrove.
00:46:23He is solid.
00:46:24That might be an issue.
00:46:25Cosgrove just quit.
00:46:26I gotta go.
00:46:27Good luck.
00:46:28Wesley, it's so good to see you.
00:46:30Yeah, right.
00:46:31I'm serious.
00:46:32No hard feelings on my aunt.
00:46:33Yeah, because you destroyed me.
00:46:34Well, exactly.
00:46:35I made good on the promise I made you
00:46:37when you threw your hat in the ring.
00:46:38It's nothing personal.
00:46:38In fact, I agree with you
00:46:40on a lot of the issues,
00:46:41and I know that together
00:46:42we can take the DA's office
00:46:43in a positive direction.
00:46:44Mm-hmm.
00:46:47You're not gonna fall for that, are you?
00:46:49No.
00:46:49I was about to hand in my resignation letter.
00:46:51Well, she won't accept it.
00:46:53With Cosgrove, Garcia, and Martin already out,
00:46:55she can't afford to lose anyone else.
00:46:56Martin quit.
00:46:57I keyed her car on the way out.
00:46:58A hero to us all.
00:47:00Come on.
00:47:04Hey, sorry about the election.
00:47:06That should have been me facing Vivian.
00:47:07You were handed a poison chalice.
00:47:09I drank from it willingly.
00:47:10Sure.
00:47:11How's Logan?
00:47:12He's good.
00:47:14You know, he just got another chip.
00:47:16He's been clean now almost four months.
00:47:18That's great.
00:47:19Yeah.
00:47:20What about you?
00:47:21You gonna do the Rothwell and Pierce thing?
00:47:23No, I'm, uh...
00:47:25I'm gonna stay here.
00:47:26And you should, too.
00:47:28Mm-hmm.
00:47:28Come on, Wes.
00:47:29You joined this place to change the culture from within.
00:47:32To ensure that justice, not punishment,
00:47:35was our paramount virtue.
00:47:37Remember?
00:47:37It's a very inspirational message
00:47:39that just lost by 23 points.
00:47:41Look, Vivian ran on tough on crying.
00:47:44She's gonna deliver.
00:47:45Yeah, which is why the city needs people like us here.
00:47:47Now more than ever.
00:47:49Look, we still can make a difference.
00:47:51Sean.
00:47:51You're here already.
00:47:53Let's work together one last time.
00:47:54If at the end of the day you still want to quit,
00:47:56I won't stand anyway.
00:47:58This job is where ambition goes to die.
00:48:02Wait, what?
00:48:03Missing persons.
00:48:04It's not a real department.
00:48:05It's a halfway house for cases
00:48:07on the way to real departments.
00:48:09That's a lot of reports for a fake department.
00:48:12Ninety percent of these cases will solve themselves.
00:48:14Teenager just needed to blow off steam.
00:48:16A wife went on a bender,
00:48:17came home when she sobered up.
00:48:18A kid fell asleep playing hide-and-seek.
00:48:20Well, I've been on patrol for three years.
00:48:22I know most missing persons reports go nowhere,
00:48:25but there are people in the stack
00:48:27who are victims of real crimes.
00:48:29Crimes with their own departments,
00:48:30like trafficking or homicide.
00:48:33Sorry to interrupt.
00:48:34Homicide once in the graph case.
00:48:36Fisherman found the body.
00:48:38Looks like murder.
00:48:39Rest in peace.
00:48:43Okay.
00:48:44Obviously, you know the job way better than I do,
00:48:46but it wouldn't hurt to look through the case files,
00:48:49see if there's anyone we can help.
00:48:52Knock yourself out.
00:48:59This thing drives like a dream.
00:49:02In these seats.
00:49:04Ten minutes in a regular shop, my ass is barking.
00:49:06Yeah, well, don't get used to it.
00:49:08You're just here while I work out the kinks.
00:49:10Once Penn is back from training,
00:49:11you're back in the shop, and I'm on my own.
00:49:13I have a 415 at 5th and Western.
00:49:16RP reports two shirtless men circling each other.
00:49:19Seven at 100.
00:49:20Two blocks away shows responding.
00:49:22You sure?
00:49:22Sounds like your basic alcohol-fueled slug vest.
00:49:25Yeah, I have to test response times,
00:49:26and even the most basic of calls.
00:49:30The captain's calling.
00:49:32Bradford.
00:49:33Can you hold?
00:49:34Yeah, I'll hold.
00:49:39I'll be right there.
00:49:40I got this one.
00:49:43LAPD, you guys break it up.
00:49:46Sorry, he was just called into a meeting.
00:49:48Can you hold just a minute longer?
00:49:49Thanks.
00:49:49No, I'm at...
00:50:01Sorry to keep you waiting.
00:50:03Uh, no problem, sir.
00:50:04We're getting a lot of complaints about vagrants in Stoner Park.
00:50:07I've got to say, renaming it would be a strong start.
00:50:10It's important that people feel safe in public places.
00:50:13Couldn't agree more.
00:50:14I'll have additional units in the area starting today.
00:50:16Okay, uh, is that it?
00:50:18One more thing.
00:50:18Uh, I just want to say, your tireless commitment to justice and the people of this...
00:50:23Thank you, sir.
00:50:25Hey, hey, hey, hey.
00:50:27Good job, sir.
00:50:28You supervised the hell out of that.
00:50:30You're still here.
00:50:31And I think I found a workable case.
00:50:33Sadie Bell, 30, was reported missing last week, but according to her best friend Joe,
00:50:38Sadie never misses visitation with her kid on the first Tuesday of every month.
00:50:43Walk with me.
00:50:46Reporting party's address?
00:50:47Uh, 5206th Street.
00:50:50It's a homeless shelter.
00:50:51Joe is unhoused, meaning Sadie's unhoused.
00:50:53Not the most reliable bunch.
00:50:54On the other hand, sir, unhoused women are highly vulnerable to physical and sexual assaults.
00:50:59True, and they're also more likely to be substance abusers who miss things like supervised child visitations.
00:51:05I know.
00:51:06Well, I think it's worth investigating, so what's our first step?
00:51:09Why are you so gung-ho, Officer Horace?
00:51:12And don't just say the indefatigability of youth.
00:51:17Uh, my, uh, sister was abducted when I was a child, sir.
00:51:20I, uh, lived the fear of not knowing where a loved one is.
00:51:25Understandable.
00:51:26And quite noble.
00:51:28But I would caution you that the thousand files in my office are not an unending stack of potential happy
00:51:34endings.
00:51:34For the subset that are not just runaways or miscommunications,
00:51:39the endings are mostly heartbreaking.
00:51:45I haven't had a chance to review the reports, but it's at the top of my list.
00:51:48Okay, I appreciate the reminder.
00:51:52How did Grim make it look so easy?
00:51:54Oh, the scowl helped.
00:51:55Yeah.
00:51:56You don't want to bother that face with anything less than an absolute emergency.
00:52:00My scowl is legendary.
00:52:01It was.
00:52:03But then Lucy moved it.
00:52:06You know what?
00:52:07I take it back.
00:52:09Hey, Dash.
00:52:10Everything all right?
00:52:11Hey, so, lesson for the future.
00:52:13Uh, if somebody asks you if you want to see a dead body, uh, say no.
00:52:17Dash, are you standing over a dead body?
00:52:21Yep.
00:52:24He's been here for at least a day.
00:52:26Won't know how long for sure until T.I.D. gets here and we turn him over.
00:52:29Kenneth Morris.
00:52:31K-Dawg?
00:52:32For real?
00:52:33Uh, Kenny's my English teacher.
00:52:35Was my English teacher.
00:52:36Okay, so, uh, who found the body?
00:52:40Uh, Dakota.
00:52:40We're in fourth period together.
00:52:42But I didn't think it was real.
00:52:43She's always gossiping about something.
00:52:45Last week, she told me she was quitting school because she landed some influencer brand deal
00:52:49with Pop-Tarts.
00:52:50Turns out it was just a regional campaign.
00:52:52No offense.
00:52:52It just doesn't seem like, uh, Coastwood is your scene.
00:52:56Oh, it's not.
00:52:57Uh, but my mom said I needed a strong senior year in order to get into a good college.
00:53:01So she landed an office job here.
00:53:03That way I get a major break on tuition.
00:53:04Dad, not in the picture?
00:53:05No, he kind of lurks in the background like the Babadook, specializing in bad decisions
00:53:10and hot cougars.
00:53:12Right.
00:53:13Uh, so you said Dakota found the body originally.
00:53:15Uh, no, Dakota said CJ told her about it, who heard about it from Ilya and Autumn, who
00:53:20might have heard about it from somebody else.
00:53:23So how many teenagers came out to the woods, saw a dead body, and did nothing about it except
00:53:28tell their friends?
00:53:29Unknown.
00:53:30But I bet they all took selfies with it.
00:53:32I'm starving.
00:53:33Can I order green juice or something?
00:53:35Your intermittent fest doesn't end until one.
00:53:37We can talk after that.
00:53:39No one is asking you to spy on your friends.
00:53:42Now, we have hidden surveillance set up to capture candid conversations.
00:53:45Tight.
00:53:46Uh, but they're not my friends.
00:53:47Oh.
00:53:48How's my hair?
00:53:50It's fine.
00:53:51Who were you trying to impress?
00:53:53No one.
00:53:53Autumn.
00:53:57She's pretty.
00:53:59It's like saying that the hanging gardens of Babylon were cool instead of a feat of unparalleled
00:54:04engineering that redefined elegance and beauty in the ancient world.
00:54:08But I'm a little biased.
00:54:09Clearly.
00:54:10She nice.
00:54:11Hey, Dash.
00:54:12Do you want to come to my premiere tonight?
00:54:14Uh, yeah, totally.
00:54:16I would love to.
00:54:16No, wait.
00:54:17My publicist said we already did our charity work for the year, so you're out of luck.
00:54:21Sorry.
00:54:24What are you premiering?
00:54:26The new LaPorte film.
00:54:27It's already getting Oscar buzz.
00:54:28Oh.
00:54:28Who do you play in the movie?
00:54:30Young Attic No. 2.
00:54:31No lines, but my featured reactions really carry the film.
00:54:35Oh, by the way, I have a hard-out at three glam squads coming to my house.
00:54:39Well, we'll try to get you out in time for the full-face shellacking.
00:54:42Do you have a parent or guardian with you?
00:54:44Oh.
00:54:45No, thank you.
00:54:46I was legally emancipated when I was 13, so I could, um, work adult hours on set.
00:54:53I don't need them here.
00:54:54Great.
00:54:54Let's interview you first.
00:54:56Awesome.
00:54:57Please tell me Jack won't be going there.
00:55:00It's not definite, but Jack's preschool is the feeder school for Coastwood.
00:55:05It would be an easy transition.
00:55:08Logistically, maybe, but emotionally.
00:55:10Won't you die a little?
00:55:11Yes.
00:55:12But L.A. elementary schools are more competitive than Stanford,
00:55:15and having an easy path would save hundreds of hours of stress.
00:55:19Yeah, but then he'd be going to school with kids like these.
00:55:22That's where it falls apart.
00:55:23And what can you tell me about Morris?
00:55:25Oh, Kenny was such a sweetie.
00:55:27Even when I had to miss a lot of class last year, he was so chill about it.
00:55:30Why did you have to miss school?
00:55:31I was doing this indie project.
00:55:33We were supposed to premiere at Sundance,
00:55:35but then the director had all these, like, harassment allegations or whatever
00:55:39and got basically blackballed.
00:55:41And now my career has to suffer.
00:55:43Like, did Kenneth have any disagreements with other teachers, faculty?
00:55:47No.
00:55:47I really can't imagine anyone wanting to hurt Ken-Ken.
00:55:50It wasn't traditionally attractive, sure,
00:55:52but that's no reason to be murdered.
00:55:54Right?
00:55:57Can I vape in here?
00:55:58I have a note from my therapist.
00:56:00He does.
00:56:00I have it right here.
00:56:02No.
00:56:03Who first told you about the body in the woods?
00:56:05It was Sushi Tuesday, so I was pretty laser-focused on whether I wanted ahi or uni.
00:56:12I think I ended up getting both.
00:56:14Let's focus here.
00:56:16Where did you hear about the body?
00:56:18Well, I remember Autumn mentioning something earlier in the day when she was talking to Ilya.
00:56:23But Ilya said he had heard it from...
00:56:25Zoe, I guess she originally saw something about it in a DM from Lynette when she was going through CJ's
00:56:31phone.
00:56:31And given what happened on the school trip last year, it is super sketchy that he was DMing Lynette.
00:56:38Backup, where do we think the rumor started?
00:56:41Nowhere.
00:56:42Like, everywhere.
00:56:42How are we further from figuring this out than when we started?
00:56:45I'll call for backup.
00:56:47Hi again.
00:56:48Thank God.
00:56:49Normal teenager.
00:56:50No offense, it's just your classmates tend to be...
00:56:54Overwhelmed by their own champagne problems.
00:56:55I get it.
00:56:56My dysfunction is a little bit more proletariat.
00:56:59Guess that's one way to put it.
00:57:00Yeah, I don't really hang out with them much outside of school.
00:57:03And that's not just because I didn't make Forbes 20 under 20, but it's definitely a factor.
00:57:07Well, we're not done with the interviews yet, but so far no one we have talked to has said they're
00:57:11the one who started the rumor.
00:57:12They all claim to have heard it from someone else.
00:57:14Right.
00:57:15So Reese heard about it from CJ, who heard about it from Zoe, who saw it in a DM from,
00:57:21um...
00:57:21You said that Reese heard about it from CJ?
00:57:23That's what she told us.
00:57:24That doesn't make any sense.
00:57:26They got in a huge fight last week about, you know, whether or not sending nudes to other people counts
00:57:30as cheating.
00:57:30They haven't spoken to each other since, and word in the halls is that Zoe and CJ are the new
00:57:34it couple.
00:57:35Oh my God, yes.
00:57:36I was totally picking up on that vibe, but I saw that Zoe wasn't following CJ on Instagram, so I
00:57:40put it from my head.
00:57:41But when I double back to check, it looks like she does follow him, but only with her Finsta.
00:57:46With her Finsta.
00:57:47Yeah.
00:57:48Okay, this is actually all starting to make sense.
00:57:51It is?
00:57:52Um, so Lynette and Emma, they went to the bathroom to do a fit check for their joint Instagram account.
00:57:58And Lynette said that she hears somebody crying in one of the stalls, and she says that it's Reese, because
00:58:03she recognizes her leather tabbies.
00:58:05Travis tells Paul in the parking lot that he heard about a dead body from some bitch in first period,
00:58:12and who does he have first period with?
00:58:15Reese.
00:58:15And Dash heard about the body from Dakota, who is Reese's second best friend, but she has been fighting for
00:58:22that number one spot.
00:58:23So, I mean, she would do anything that Reese says.
00:58:26So if Reese told Dakota to lie about where she heard about the body?
00:58:31This is all coming back to Reese.
00:58:33Okay, so is Reese witness zero, or is she the killer?
00:58:39Sadie!
00:58:40Sadie!
00:58:41Sadie!
00:58:44Sadie!
00:58:46Yeah.
00:58:48Okay.
00:58:50You know, that night Sadie went missing, it was pouring rain, and the shelter was full, so I'm thinking she
00:58:56crawled in here to stay dry and got trapped.
00:59:00A couple months ago, I found a bunch of guys living it up in an access tunnel.
00:59:04Electricity, Wi-Fi, the whole thing.
00:59:08They had the right idea.
00:59:10But you also have electricity and Wi-Fi.
00:59:12Yeah, but I have to pay for it.
00:59:13Right.
00:59:15You know, one of those gays, if they locked behind her, she could be trapped or too injured to crawl
00:59:20out.
00:59:20Yeah, but at this point, she's probably dead from dehydration.
00:59:24Wait, what?
00:59:28Sadie!
00:59:30If you can hear me, make a sound!
00:59:43Desmond.
00:59:44Where are you?
00:59:45I'm inside a service tunnel looking for Sadie.
00:59:47I-I called the shelter.
00:59:48She showed up this morning.
00:59:49You're kidding.
00:59:50Well, why didn't they call us?
00:59:51They never do.
00:59:52So she was fine this whole time?
00:59:54Yeah, it turns out that her friend had the visitation date wrong.
00:59:57But hey, cheer up.
00:59:59At least you only wasted your own time.
01:00:03I am so sorry.
01:00:17Oh, hey, Selina.
01:00:20Hey, I heard about the missing person who wasn't missing.
01:00:24Already.
01:00:24I just got back.
01:00:25Smitty was with you.
01:00:27Right.
01:00:28Oh, I'm going to owe a lot of favors after dragging the cavalry through the sewers.
01:00:32Okay, first of all, do not refer to any group that includes Smitty as the cavalry.
01:00:36And second, those guys will forgive you.
01:00:38Or, you know, somebody else will screw up way worse, and then they'll be focused on that.
01:00:41Well, I'm kidding.
01:00:42Hey, one misstep does not change the fact that your instincts here are legendary.
01:00:48So just take a second to wallow in this, but then get cleaned up and get back out there, yeah?
01:00:52Yeah.
01:00:58Hey.
01:01:00Oh, you're too kind.
01:01:02Yes, I'm really looking forward to working with you as well, Madam Mayor.
01:01:05Okay, bye-bye.
01:01:06Sorry.
01:01:07I've been so busy.
01:01:09Before I make the big move upstairs, I wanted to get our house in order a little bit, clear the
01:01:13deck.
01:01:14So, we have 27 felony arrests, waiting prosecution.
01:01:19We just do not have the manpower.
01:01:21I'm going to take them all to trial.
01:01:22Why?
01:01:23Did you lose some ADAs or something?
01:01:26There's been turnover, yes.
01:01:28So I've got plea deals approved for all these cases, and I need you both to get them signed ASAP.
01:01:33Murder, too?
01:01:34This guy robbed a convenience store, and the clerk had a heart attack.
01:01:37That is felony manslaughter at best.
01:01:39And a teen who pegged his principal with a football is assault with a deadly weapon?
01:01:42Then did the DA sign off on these?
01:01:44I pointed to the significant mandate voters handed me, and he agreed.
01:01:48Well, their lawyers are not going to agree to these terms.
01:01:51Make them agree.
01:02:03Apple Pruitt.
01:02:04She lives in my building.
01:02:05Her mother reported her missing a month ago when she didn't return from Coachella.
01:02:09Every year, we get a spike in reports after Coachella.
01:02:12This is one time this guy disassociated so hard, he reported himself missing.
01:02:16No, but this one's weird.
01:02:18Apple has a strong social media presence, but didn't post anything about what happened this year.
01:02:23There was a massive dust storm.
01:02:25They canceled day two at the Sahara tent.
01:02:27I mean, everyone was posting about it.
01:02:29It's not exactly a smoking gun.
01:02:31Okay, listen.
01:02:31Listen, I know how this sounds, but something is telling me to investigate.
01:02:36I see what's going on.
01:02:37You said she lives in your building?
01:02:39Mm-hmm.
01:02:39Classic move.
01:02:41You take a case near your house so you can investigate it from your living room.
01:02:45When the shift ends, you're just a few steps from your futon.
01:02:48I'm not trying to go home early.
01:02:51That's too bad.
01:02:52I thought you were finally catching on.
01:02:56There's no obvious connection between Reese and Mr. Morris.
01:03:00He did tutor her every week, but he tutored a lot of the kids.
01:03:03Yeah, and his Venmo transactions show that he was pulling down six figures on top of his salary.
01:03:07Why is tutoring in quotes?
01:03:09And one of the parents added a winky face emoji.
01:03:15Every student who paid for tutoring got an A.
01:03:18The only kid who was struggling was Dash.
01:03:20Yeah, his mom was barely scraping tuition together.
01:03:22They couldn't afford anything extra.
01:03:24Okay, so the parents are paying for grades, so the kids get into a better college.
01:03:28But, I mean, why kill him?
01:03:30Maybe.
01:03:31He couldn't deliver.
01:03:32If I spent that kind of money and my kid didn't get into their dream school, I'd be pissed.
01:03:39Reese, have you decided what college you're going to?
01:03:41Um, I think I may be taking a gap year.
01:03:44From your social media accounts, it seems like you're all about Yale.
01:03:48Yeah, it was kind of my mom's thing.
01:03:50But you did apply.
01:03:52Yeah, I applied to lots of places, but I didn't get in, so.
01:03:57Was your mom upset?
01:03:59Yeah, I guess.
01:04:02Reese, we know it was you who started the rumor.
01:04:04No, I heard it from CJ.
01:04:06We know that's not true.
01:04:08But you did tell Dakota, and Travis, and Lynette.
01:04:13You know what that tells me?
01:04:16You wanted someone to know.
01:04:19You wanted the police to know, but you just didn't want to be the one to call.
01:04:23It didn't seem right that he was just lying out there.
01:04:27How do you know he'd been killed?
01:04:32I stayed late on Tuesday.
01:04:34My mom wanted to talk to Mr. Morris.
01:04:37She was so angry about Yale.
01:04:39She was yelling at him, and he wanted to talk somewhere private, so they went out back behind the school.
01:04:46So, I waited and waited, and finally my mom came back.
01:04:53Just her, not him.
01:04:57And her hands were...
01:05:00She wouldn't talk about it, but I...
01:05:02I knew she did something.
01:05:07I didn't want any of this to happen.
01:05:09I don't even care about college.
01:05:17Well, at least I know why I was failing the class.
01:05:19Your mom wasn't bribing the teacher.
01:05:21Yeah, then I never did any homework.
01:05:24Now, listen, your mom is stuck at school.
01:05:26Things are about as hectic over there as you can imagine, so your dad's going to come take you home.
01:05:31Is that right?
01:05:32Yeah, it's fine.
01:05:33He shows up every six to eight months to remind everybody where my mom got sole custody.
01:05:38I'm telling you, you cannot lose.
01:05:40You would be a fool not to invest.
01:05:42Hit me up on socials.
01:05:43I will tell you more about it, okay?
01:05:44Hey, who is my guy?
01:05:47How you doing?
01:05:48I still haven't had that grocery yet, huh?
01:05:49I'm pacing myself.
01:05:50Hey, sorry I haven't been around much.
01:05:52Been working crazy hours.
01:05:54But good news, Tiger Bear has one more investor signed on with a non-binding verbal agreement.
01:05:59Tiger Bear?
01:05:59It's a soup.
01:06:00It's a breakfast soup.
01:06:02Dash, come on.
01:06:02No, that was the last one.
01:06:04Tiger Bear Whiskey Tequila is the whisky-less startup.
01:06:06It's going to be huge.
01:06:08You should get in on the grand floor, champ.
01:06:10I'm telling you, an investment of 10 grand will triple by the end of the year, guaranteed.
01:06:13You do know your son found one of his teachers dead behind the school gym today.
01:06:17Damn it.
01:06:20Sorry, sorry.
01:06:21Uh, okay.
01:06:22Uh, keep going.
01:06:23So Dash was working out and, uh...
01:06:25Just take me home.
01:06:26Will they have to excavate the passenger seat for parking tickets again, or...
01:06:30He's joking.
01:06:31I am a model citizen.
01:06:32Don't say that.
01:06:35Dash.
01:06:38I'm around if you need me.
01:06:39So we gotta stop by my place first, but we'll make it a pro app, you know?
01:06:42Or some, ah, we'll watch last week's UFC.
01:06:45No problem?
01:06:47Just the universal unfairness of the world, nothing actionable.
01:06:53Thanks for coming in.
01:06:54This is a plea deal, and before you ask, it's the best deal your client's gonna get.
01:06:58I know, murder too.
01:07:00It seems excessive.
01:07:01I mean, all you did was rob a convenience store.
01:07:03It wasn't your fault that the clerk had a heart attack.
01:07:06The man had end-stage heart disease.
01:07:08Now, a jury could see that as extenuating circumstances.
01:07:12I mean, if the jury was blind, maybe they'd see that as a gang tattoo.
01:07:16But I don't have to risk that possibility if you just say yes to the plea.
01:07:19I mean, who cares there's no precedent for a felony prosecution this severe?
01:07:23So what if our only witness has been charged with perjury and false accusations in two other cases?
01:07:28I mean, if you think you could do better at trial, you just push that plea deal right back at
01:07:33me.
01:07:54The music is nowhere near too loud.
01:07:58I'm Officer Juarez with LAPD.
01:08:00Yeah, I'm following your roommate, Apple Pruitt's case.
01:08:02Yeah, she hasn't come home, right?
01:08:04No.
01:08:05No, I'm, I'm, I'm very sick.
01:08:08Do you mind if I come inside?
01:08:10Sure.
01:08:11Yeah, of course.
01:08:17I've actually been boxing up Apple's things all day.
01:08:20It's officially 30 days tomorrow.
01:08:22I just, I need someone else in here to help me with this crazy rant.
01:08:26Not that Apple is great about paying.
01:08:29She doesn't believe in money or monogamy or cleaning.
01:08:34She sounds like a lot.
01:08:35Oh, I mean, don't get me wrong.
01:08:37She was, is, um, one of my favorite people.
01:08:41Just not the greatest at cohabitation.
01:08:43Right.
01:08:45And the last time you saw her was right before she left for Coachella?
01:08:49She left going, even though she had her issues before.
01:08:52I mean, bad drugs and aggressive guys.
01:08:55She definitely had some scares.
01:08:58And you think that's what happened to her?
01:08:59I, I don't know.
01:09:01Um, I mean, I, I'm just trying to be helpful.
01:09:05But I'm desperate for you to find her.
01:09:08Do you mind if I take a look at her bedroom?
01:09:11Yeah, no problem.
01:09:12It's, uh, it's right over there.
01:09:19It's, uh, it's okay.
01:10:07I'm sorry, I'm sorry, it's not what you think!
01:10:24Hey, Han!
01:10:55I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry.
01:10:57This is Officer Juarez, badge number 53397.
01:11:00I'm code 4 with a possible 245 suspect.
01:11:03Also suspected of an 187 sent backup.
01:11:06I need an RATID to my location.
01:11:10You don't understand.
01:11:12She was the worst roommate ever.
01:11:17I'm pretty sure you're the worst roommate ever.
01:11:23So, this is just temporary.
01:11:26But the money train is chugging into the station.
01:11:30Then I'm gonna be playing the how many square feet is too many square feet game.
01:11:34You want some?
01:11:35Uh, no thanks, I just shotgunned some gasoline.
01:11:37Oh God, I had some serious stuff.
01:11:49Hey, um, so this fancy private school of yours...
01:11:53Where a teacher was just murdered?
01:11:55Really?
01:11:55How have you not been paying attention?
01:11:58Never mind, of course you're out.
01:11:59All I'm saying is, you're in the perfect spot to help your dear old dad raise some cash money capital.
01:12:04I'm having supply issues in the Czech Republic.
01:12:07Where they specialize in neither whiskey nor chicken.
01:12:08Okay, that is besides the point.
01:12:10Anyways, you will be helping out the family if I can get you to make a few introductions.
01:12:15If I say I'll think about it, will you take me home?
01:12:18Come on, what's the rush? Party's just getting started.
01:12:22Gus!
01:12:22I know you in there.
01:12:24Open the damn door.
01:12:28We're gonna go out the window.
01:12:30No, we're not.
01:12:32I can hear you in there.
01:12:33Open the door or we kick it in.
01:12:35Uh, okay.
01:12:36Um, so a few of my friends are here.
01:12:39Um, you gotta go hide.
01:12:41Why would I hide from your friends?
01:12:42Just go, go.
01:12:43And don't come out.
01:12:45No matter what.
01:12:53Dash?
01:12:54I think I might be in some trouble.
01:12:59Fellas.
01:13:00Wait, wait, wait, wait.
01:13:01I'm sorry about the confusion.
01:13:02Your money, it's being transferred.
01:13:04It's just the act, you know?
01:13:05It takes a few days, so...
01:13:08Okay, where are you?
01:13:09Uh, the closet.
01:13:11The dance apartment.
01:13:12They're beating him up.
01:13:14I can get your money just one more day.
01:13:16Like, two times.
01:13:17Wait, wait, wait, wait, no.
01:13:19All right, stay hidden until we get there.
01:13:21I can't.
01:13:23They'll kill him.
01:13:23I have to...
01:13:24I have to do something.
01:13:25No, Dash.
01:13:26Dash, no.
01:13:31I don't know how you can get your money.
01:13:33What the hell is this?
01:13:34It's, uh, my neighbor.
01:13:35He waters my plants.
01:13:40You are such a liar.
01:13:42Although lying to protect your kid is almost noble,
01:13:45it'd be ashamed if I had to break all his teeth,
01:13:47stump both his ends in a suit.
01:13:49Pass.
01:13:50And pass.
01:13:51How about we go with my plan instead?
01:13:54Rob a bunch of rich kids that go to my school?
01:13:56Who wants a Rolex?
01:14:00You better not be lying, kid.
01:14:02Your dad is out of free passes.
01:14:06Let's go.
01:14:14Dash would never knowingly put someone in danger.
01:14:16So we track down whether any school families are out of town.
01:14:19The Laporte premiere.
01:14:20He's a pretentious auteur filmmaker.
01:14:23His new movie launches tonight.
01:14:24Autumn Harrington is in it.
01:14:25That's the girl that Dash has a crush on.
01:14:27Her address is in the system.
01:14:33Damn, who is this chick?
01:14:35Autumn?
01:14:35She's an up-and-coming IT girl.
01:14:37Her new project's getting Oscar buzz.
01:14:39Yeah?
01:14:40Well, let's hope she get paid in diamond bracelets.
01:14:43You know, stuff that's easy to pawn.
01:14:45Otherwise, you and your dad gonna find out what the landfill tastes like.
01:14:50Out.
01:14:55Stay with Gus until I give you the signal, all right?
01:15:01Man, for what it's worth, your dad is the biggest trainwrecker I ever met.
01:15:05My old man, he in prison.
01:15:07Trying to steal a FedEx plane with a tow truck.
01:15:09Well, if you're the ghost of my future self, I might just have to Virginia Woolf it.
01:15:14I don't know what that mean.
01:15:15She was arguably the most influential writer of the 20th century.
01:15:19Ended it all by walking into a river with rocks in her pockets.
01:15:24Nobody likes a comedian, kid.
01:15:26I'd argue, but the gun gives you the last word.
01:15:32Hey, if this is set up, I'm killing everybody. Got it?
01:15:35Yes, sir.
01:15:41You're not my agadashi tofu.
01:15:44You're not supposed to be here.
01:15:45Well, you caught me out of the movies when I wasn't on the list.
01:15:48Do you know how mortifying that...
01:15:50Who the hell are you?
01:15:51Hey, who else in the house?
01:15:52Nobody. My parents are in Monaco.
01:15:55All right. Get over here.
01:15:57I... I don't want to.
01:15:58No problem. I'll just shoot you.
01:16:06Go dance.
01:16:07What? Why?
01:16:08Whoa.
01:16:09It's even bigger on the inside.
01:16:11See, this is the kind of place I'm gonna get when I get paid.
01:16:13Hey, man, shut up!
01:16:16Just stay down here with the idiot, all right?
01:16:17Still, anything that's shiny.
01:16:22Now, take me to your parents' room, and they better have a boatload of watches and jewelry.
01:16:25Hey, hey, hey.
01:16:26Whoa, whoa. Those whiskey bottles work like $500 each.
01:16:28I'm just gonna grab a couple.
01:16:29Show me.
01:16:30All right.
01:16:36What about this?
01:16:37The Merlot? Really? No, dude, those two are worth way more.
01:16:50All right, all right.
01:17:13All right, all right.
01:17:24Hey, where's the jewelry?
01:17:26Closet.
01:17:27All right.
01:17:29Hey, hey, stay here.
01:17:36Okay.
01:17:42I can't believe you brought them to my house.
01:17:44I panicked, okay?
01:17:45They were going to kill my dad.
01:17:47Besides, you weren't supposed to be here.
01:17:49I would never knowingly put you in danger.
01:17:51Because you have the odds for me.
01:17:52I have romantic intentions, yeah, but clearly you don't share them, so...
01:17:58It's not like you're not cute.
01:18:00You're just...
01:18:01Poor?
01:18:01Exactly.
01:18:08What are you doing?
01:18:09Looking for a gun.
01:18:10Oh, that's not a gun.
01:18:12Oh.
01:18:12Oh.
01:18:13Your parents are freaky.
01:18:14What the hell are you doing?
01:18:16Get away from there!
01:18:17Oh, no.
01:18:17Sorry.
01:18:18Sorry.
01:18:20I'm never going to be able to look my parents in the eye again.
01:18:24Me neither.
01:18:26Hey, Andre wouldn't really hurt my kid, right?
01:18:28This is a scare tactic.
01:18:29I mean, I know I'm not a great dad, but I try, you know?
01:18:33When it's convenient for me.
01:18:36Like, I want to be better.
01:18:37Like, I really do.
01:18:38I think about it all the time.
01:18:40Well, not all the time.
01:18:42It's the heart of the problem, really.
01:18:45I just got to be better.
01:18:46The kid deserves a role model, not the layman hot mess I am on a daily basis.
01:18:52It feels really good to come clean about this, you know?
01:18:54It's kind of cathartic.
01:18:56When the hell did you get here?
01:18:57Where's Dash?
01:18:58Let's go!
01:18:59No, she's staying here.
01:19:01She hasn't seen your face, so you're in the clear.
01:19:02Just, you can do whatever you want to be, just let her go.
01:19:05Hey, man, you got balls, kid.
01:19:06Unlike your father, but she cannot stay here, all right?
01:19:08Let's go!
01:19:09There's a gold bar in that bedside table.
01:19:11Yeah, right.
01:19:12I'm serious.
01:19:13But if you want to leave it, like...
01:19:15All right, stay right here.
01:19:17Don't move.
01:19:23Get back!
01:19:25Drop it!
01:19:28Come on, get up.
01:19:30Hey, you okay?
01:19:32Physically.
01:19:34Yeah, give me this.
01:19:38Ow!
01:19:39Thanks.
01:19:41And thanks for trying to save me.
01:19:43Yeah, anytime.
01:19:44Oh, thank God.
01:19:47Although, I knew it was all going to be all right.
01:19:50Hey, um, maybe we don't tell your mom about this.
01:19:53You know, we just keep it a bro thing.
01:19:54Stop!
01:19:55Just stop.
01:19:57Everything that you do, everything that you say,
01:19:58is just so selfish, so toxic.
01:20:02You haven't done one fatherly thing for me in my entire life.
01:20:05All you care about is yourself, and I'm just sick of it.
01:20:09I'm done with you.
01:20:11Forever.
01:20:21So, we met with all 27 defendants.
01:20:24It's the craziest thing.
01:20:25We tried our hardest.
01:20:26None of them would accept a plea deal.
01:20:28Not a one.
01:20:29Well, I hope you've kept your weekends clear,
01:20:31because now you've got 27 trials you're going to need to prepare for.
01:20:33Hmm.
01:20:35About that.
01:20:37I quit.
01:20:38And I'd say best of luck,
01:20:40but I hope you fail.
01:20:42Spectacularly.
01:20:43Sorry, Sean.
01:20:43I just can't.
01:20:44No, no worries.
01:20:45I can't either.
01:20:47I quit, too.
01:20:49Ah.
01:20:49Hey, what do you think of the law firm of Del Monte and Evers?
01:20:52Well, you haven't worked a day in your life as a defense attorney.
01:20:54Evers and Del Monte.
01:20:57Turn to the right.
01:20:58Way ahead of you.
01:20:59Not my first radio.
01:21:01No, we just need your clothes for evidence,
01:21:03and then, uh, for you to go.
01:21:07After everything that happened?
01:21:09The DA may still press charges,
01:21:10but it's pretty clear you were under duress.
01:21:14I really wanted this time to be different.
01:21:16I was going to buy a dash of car
01:21:18for the Tiger Bear money.
01:21:19I'd look to make up for lost time, you know?
01:21:22But he's right.
01:21:23I screw everything up.
01:21:24He's better off without me.
01:21:26Probably.
01:21:29I've had some experience with bad fathers,
01:21:31and the love the sons feel for them,
01:21:34no matter how many times they get their hearts broken.
01:21:37And unless you're willing to change,
01:21:39and I mean really change,
01:21:42the best thing you can do for Dash
01:21:44is just leave him the hell alone.
01:21:56What were you thinking?
01:21:59I'm fine.
01:22:00Thanks for asking.
01:22:01Do you know how close you were
01:22:02to becoming a missing person yourself?
01:22:03If she would have succeeded in killing you,
01:22:05how would I have known?
01:22:06First thing she'd do is destroy your phone.
01:22:08So when I pulled to your last known location,
01:22:10it would be your building.
01:22:12So to me and the world,
01:22:13you were home and then you vanished.
01:22:16No, I see that now.
01:22:17It's just I figured I'd stop by
01:22:18and ask a few questions.
01:22:19We have protocols for a reason.
01:22:23Yes, sir.
01:22:25I let my best intentions obscure my judgment,
01:22:29proving I still have a lot to learn about this job.
01:22:33But if I can be so bold as to ask a favor...
01:22:40You can ask.
01:22:42I remain undaunted.
01:22:45So if a file comes across your desk
01:22:47that gives you a feeling, call me.
01:22:49I am happy to run down any lead I can for you,
01:22:53free of charge.
01:22:59Deal.
01:23:01And for what it's worth,
01:23:04I'm glad you're okay.
01:23:05I made all these mistakes,
01:23:07but I made them mine.
01:23:20Your dad's gone,
01:23:22and your mom's on her way.
01:23:23Cool.
01:23:26You want to talk about anything?
01:23:29Uh, not really.
01:23:31I think I'm a little talked out for once.
01:23:35Understood.
01:23:38You know,
01:23:39at the risk of sounding overly earnest.
01:23:42You're a very special young man.
01:23:45Despite, or
01:23:47maybe even because
01:23:48of what your father's put you through.
01:23:51Now, I know you know that you're not him
01:23:52in any,
01:23:54any way, shape, or form.
01:23:57But I also know that family pain
01:23:59is
01:24:01emotional
01:24:01and not
01:24:03intellectual.
01:24:07I'm just trying to say, um,
01:24:09if you ever need a reminder
01:24:10of this conversation,
01:24:12you have my number.
01:24:14Thanks.
01:24:16And just to be clear,
01:24:17you're saying I can call you
01:24:18every morning at the crack of dawn
01:24:20just to tell me I'm awesome?
01:24:21No.
01:24:23Every other morning?
01:24:24Twice a week, final offer.
01:24:26I can live with that.
01:24:27If you can live with unlimited text,
01:24:29DMs, and social media shout-outs.
01:24:31Just the calls.
01:24:34Okay.
01:24:36Smart man.
01:24:52Smart man.
01:25:16Damn it.
01:25:17Damn it.
01:25:18Yeah.
01:25:18Sure.
01:25:18Yeah.
01:25:19Yeah.
01:25:19Damn it.
01:25:20Sorry.
01:25:20Yeah.
01:25:20It's on the back.
