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