00:00You live inside my heart. Brown eyes in the line of fire. I get worried when you're gone too long.
00:13Sorry. Did you say something?
00:15No, you just were making a face. Everything all right?
00:18Yeah, yeah, totally. It's just, um, well, Raj wrote a new song about me.
00:24I mean, he's so talented and it's so beautiful and it's all...
00:28A little overwhelming? Yeah.
00:30I wish somebody was writing love songs about me. The three of you are so happy, my love life is
00:34as cold as a frosted frog.
00:36You're young, Penn. There's plenty of time to find true happiness.
00:39Yeah, or learn to love being alone.
00:42All right, let's focus. Just got out of a meeting with the brass and everyone is feeling the pinch.
00:47Recruitment numbers are down, retirement numbers are up.
00:49Bottom line, prepare to work more OT where the department manages staffing shortages and we launched this new recruitment drive.
01:00Oh! What's going on?
01:02We won! We won!
01:05We won what? The lottery.
01:08Shangri-La has been played every week for 12 years.
01:13We're rich, bitch!
01:14Smitty, out.
01:19When did you say this recruitment drive was?
01:22I'm gonna win for you like I know you want me to do.
01:30You should call in sick. Hang out with me on my day off.
01:33That would be a bad look on my first day back.
01:35Oh, it would be fine. I mean, do you even have an official job yet?
01:39No, and I'm trying so hard to be zen about that.
01:42My former position was perfect.
01:44It's my own fault for taking a leave and going to D.C.
01:47Any idea what Kevin Faust is going to give you?
01:49No, we're talking first thing this morning.
01:51So what are you going to do today?
01:52I'm going to find out how many naps. There's too many naps.
01:55My plan is to do absolutely nothing.
01:58Oh, you were going to fix the drain in the shower.
02:00Absolutely nothing except fix the drain in the shower.
02:03Okay.
02:05Though I know it's not my hair in there.
02:07What was that?
02:08I said have a good day out there.
02:10Okay.
02:17I'm confused. I just voted for you.
02:20Why are you two going to work?
02:21Shouldn't you be doing the whole last minute campaigning thing?
02:24Rita wanted him to, but we talked about it and...
02:26I'm going to lose. Badly.
02:28Rita gave us the latest poll numbers and then quit.
02:30So rather than waste another minute on a failed campaign
02:32that neither one of us enjoyed for a second,
02:34we are first day of the rest of our lives in it.
02:37Okay. Well, I can't complain about having my bestie back on the job.
02:40Hey, why don't we do dinner tonight? Just the four of us.
02:43You're not going to watch the returns?
02:45No. There's no point.
02:47I love you, loser.
02:49I love you, too.
02:52You would have made an amazing DA.
02:55Thanks.
02:57Bye.
03:01Vivienne is going to fire him the second she wins, isn't she?
03:04A hundred percent.
03:06Yeah.
03:07All right. I'll be right in.
03:08All right.
03:14What's up?
03:14Hey, um, how would you feel about having a small gathering at your house tonight?
03:19Oh, what's the occasion?
03:20Wesley tanking the DA race.
03:22Is that cause for celebration?
03:23No, but it is a time for friends to get together and support each other, no matter what.
03:28Also, it needs to be a surprise or else we'll just try and talk me out of it.
03:31Got it. Yeah, sure. We can have it here.
03:32Great. I will start a group chat.
03:34All right.
03:35Do you need me to...
03:36And you hung up.
03:38Here's what I love.
03:39The clear amount of industry and effort that you've put in.
03:43But?
03:45But it is a little, you know, narrowly focused.
03:50Join the LAPD.
03:51Be a badass hero.
03:52Protect the innocent.
03:52It's reflective of your lived experience, but it's not exactly reflective of the multitude that is the LAPD.
04:01Yeah. Great. You're in charge of staffing this up.
04:03What? Hold on. No, that's... I was not trying to...
04:06Hmm?
04:08Fine.
04:10Penn!
04:11Juarez!
04:12You're on a special assignment today.
04:13What? Penn's still a rookie?
04:14Exactly. Who better to give insight to a recruit than someone going through training?
04:18Guys, get started. The paperwork's inside.
04:21Hey. How's it going?
04:22Good. Did the brass send you down here to help me with the recruitment drive?
04:25In a consulting capacity. And only if you need me.
04:28So say you don't need me so I can go back to work.
04:31Ah!
04:32Oh, are you okay?
04:33Yeah, I'm fine.
04:35Smitty!
04:36What?
04:37You quit?
04:38No.
04:40I took an unscheduled day off while I briefly submitted my retirement papers, but that's all done now.
04:46Why? What happened?
04:47Oh, they say I didn't kick in for my share of the ticket, so I don't get my share of
04:51the payout, but I'm always late with the wife's hander. They know I'm good for it.
04:55Ah!
04:55Oh, God. You are not okay.
04:57Smitty, make yourself useful and get the lieutenant down at St. Stephen's.
04:59No, no. I can drive myself.
05:00No, you can't, but I can call an ambulance.
05:02Or your wife? We can call your wife.
05:03No. No. Definitely not.
05:06Let's go, Smitty.
05:08I do not want to hear about your lottery situation.
05:11No problem, but I do have a teletherapy appointment starting at 5, so you might overhear a bit.
05:21Good morning.
05:22Oh, good morning. Come on in.
05:24Thank you for being so understanding. I know I left you in the lurch when I went to D.C.
05:30All good.
05:30So, what do you have in store for me?
05:33Well, obviously, your old job is gone, but we do have a new class of paramedic recruits, and I want
05:39you to train one.
05:40You're giving me a rookie?
05:42I am.
05:43Oakley!
05:45Yes, sir?
05:46This is Bailey Noon. You'll be training with her.
05:48Pleasure to meet you. I'm eager to get started.
05:50I've read everything there is to read on triage medicine, not just in the U.S., but as far afield
05:55as Mumbai.
05:55They published a fascinating study 12 days ago on emergency medicine in high-density populations.
06:00I can send you a link.
06:01Do you read Hindi, by any chance, or do you need the English translation?
06:06Good luck.
06:08Officer in agony here.
06:11Bed 11.
06:12Oh, hell no. I changed my mind. I'm fine. I'm fine.
06:15Oh, what is going on?
06:17He woke up with a stabbing pain in his lower back.
06:20That hurts when he pees.
06:21The Smitty!
06:22What?
06:22I could hear you cursing from outside the station bathroom.
06:25Oh, my God.
06:27Wait. You're that doctor. You're the one.
06:30Smitty!
06:31Get out of here now. Back to the station.
06:33Yes, sir. Good luck.
06:36I'm the doctor that what?
06:38You don't know.
06:39I really don't, but you know what? That can wait until we figure out what is going on with you.
06:43I want a different doctor.
06:45I am the only one who's free right now.
06:47Oh, wait.
06:49You sure?
06:50Yeah.
06:52Okay.
06:55Please tell me you haven't napped yet and that you haven't forgotten to fix the bathroom drain.
07:00No, of course not.
07:01I just called to see where you were assigned.
07:04I got a rookie.
07:06I knew you secretly wanted to be me.
07:08I've never trained anyone before. It's my first day back and this kid is kind of green.
07:14So are you looking for some tips?
07:16Would you come meet us? Give a first blush eval and maybe a few pointers?
07:22Yes, of course. But it's going to cost you.
07:25I should hope so. I got to go.
07:28All right. Looking forward to you hung up as well.
07:31A butt load of hemostatic gauze as requested.
07:37How can I help?
07:38Uh, watch first. I like things a certain way.
07:42A lot of people put their first-in bag on the gurney, but I like it in the outside compartment.
07:47That way I can grab the gurney while you grab the bag. Smart.
07:50You know, in early agrarian societies, they used to just...
07:52Let's just focus on modern emergency medicine.
07:55Yeah, yeah, of course.
07:58But I find that understanding the history of things can give context to modern emergency medicine
08:02and elucidates the reasons why we do things the way we do today.
08:08All right, look, you can spot the losers a mile away.
08:11Don't waste any time with anyone you know won't pass the physical exam or the psych valve.
08:14Got it.
08:15Fill out a questionnaire. Let them know that we follow up with a polygraph and a background check.
08:19That'll knock out at least a third of the duds.
08:21Okay, just so I can set expectations, I mean, what ratio of good candidates to losers should we expect?
08:29Does this background check include Florida?
08:32So I have been arrested before, but I wasn't convicted. Does that count?
08:35Defense.
08:36What was the charge?
08:37Befouling the punch bowl, the company picnic, and felony murder.
08:44And I thought to myself, why not take this white-hot rage that I feel every second of every day
08:50and use it for something positive, like curb-stomping violent felons?
08:55Okay.
08:56Try MMA.
08:57Next.
08:59Morning.
09:01Heard about the personnel shortage.
09:03And, uh, well, you guys need cops and I went back in.
09:07So, how can we make this happen?
09:13Where did you go to school?
09:14Johns Hopkins, taught my master's in neuroscience.
09:17Well, actually, it was a double master's in that and philosophy.
09:20Okay.
09:21Well, when we...
09:22I had a PhD in molecular biology at UCLA.
09:24Then I spent a year at Oxford doing medical research.
09:26That was around the time I started to think,
09:28maybe I should have some real-life experience.
09:31Well, you've come to the right place.
09:33Okay.
09:34Rescue 53, respond to 31488 12th Avenue.
09:37Manage a stress, unknown description, unknown injuries.
09:40And there's no better time to start.
09:42Control, this is Rescue 53.
09:44Show us responding.
10:02Control, this is Rescue 53.
10:05On scene with a distressed male at 12th Avenue.
10:09I thought we'd be doing this over coffee.
10:12What better way to evaluate him than seeing him in action?
10:14Scene through in action.
10:16Exactly.
10:16Jace, this is my husband, John.
10:18He's off-duty LAPD.
10:19Nice to meet you.
10:20He looks way more than distressed.
10:22Let's flip him over, grab his head, and keep him stable.
10:24On three.
10:25One, two, three.
10:29He's alive, but unconscious.
10:31Probably from heavy blood loss.
10:38Oh.
10:39Gun shovels.
10:40That explains the heavy blood loss.
10:47Please get off!
10:48Easy, easy.
10:49I'm pushing ketamine.
10:50We're trying to help you.
10:54Let's get him to St. Stephen.
10:55All right.
10:56I'll mobilize LAPD.
10:57Radio's in the car.
11:04Get away from him.
11:06Flippin?
11:07He with the radio.
11:08Please don't hurt us.
11:10Get up, traitor!
11:10He can't answer you.
11:12I gave him a sedative.
11:13Then wake him back up.
11:14That's not how medicine works.
11:16And who the hell are you, huh?
11:17I'm a doctor.
11:18I'm just doing a ride-along.
11:19No, we can't stay here.
11:21Get Isaac in the car.
11:22You can't do that.
11:23That'll kill him.
11:24Then get him in the ambulance.
11:25You're gonna keep him alive
11:26till we get what we need.
11:27I'm on it.
11:32Whoa, whoa, whoa.
11:32Hey, back up.
11:33They got it.
11:34What do you want to do with this guy?
11:35I need him.
11:36I'm just a paramedic.
11:37He's a doctor.
11:40All right, search him,
11:41and let's get gone.
11:42Meet us back at the office.
11:43Heads up.
11:49Let's go.
11:53Come on, come on, come on.
11:55Get in.
12:18You know, the history of
12:19Battlefield Madison
12:19is truly fascinating.
12:21Until about 50 years ago,
12:22most major wounds
12:22were guaranteed fatal.
12:23Hey, do you want to die?
12:24No, not particularly.
12:25Then shut up and drive.
12:28What did this guy do to you anyway?
12:29He stole our money.
12:31Isaac here was in charge
12:32of keeping it safe.
12:33We were supposed to meet,
12:35divvy it up.
12:35Now he's stashed it somewhere.
12:37Trying to keep it all for himself,
12:38but that's not going to happen.
12:40Well, this money he stole,
12:41assuming he recently stole it
12:42from someone else,
12:43Brink's truck,
12:44a bank, what?
12:45You ask a lot of questions, dog.
12:47Shut up.
12:48The only answer I care about is,
12:50what exactly is your plan here?
12:51Three steps.
12:53Wake the traitor up,
12:54get him to tell us
12:54where the money is,
12:56kill him.
12:56This man is barely stable.
12:58What happens
12:59if the third step comes first?
13:00Then you're dying
13:01in this ambulance
13:01along with him.
13:06I knew Seth still had dreams
13:07of being a cop,
13:08but I did not think
13:09he would try again
13:09at Mid-Wilshire.
13:10Yeah, well,
13:11he thinks he's catching us
13:12at a vulnerable moment.
13:13He's right.
13:13We need cops in the street now,
13:15not in six months
13:15after the applicants
13:16finish training.
13:17Technically,
13:18all he has to do
13:18is pass his physical
13:19and he's back in uniform.
13:20The physical is not my concern.
13:22It is everything else.
13:24Listen, Seth has changed.
13:25I know it's hard to believe,
13:26but he's committed
13:26to a different path.
13:27You are biased, Penn,
13:29because you saved your life.
13:30Guilty as charged,
13:31but he deserves
13:34a second chance.
13:49Okay.
13:51I'm ready.
13:51Whatever you guys need.
13:52The only way
13:53I'll even consider
13:54recommending you
13:55for reinstatement
13:56is if you pass a polygraph.
14:01Okay.
14:03Let's do it.
14:04Why are you
14:05refusing treatment?
14:07I'm not.
14:08I just saw a doctor
14:09who told me
14:10I had kidney stones,
14:11major ones.
14:12I'm sorry.
14:13I heard that pain
14:14is excruciating.
14:16Well, while you
14:17are being treated,
14:18I am your patient advocate.
14:20So, is there anything
14:22that you would like
14:23me to advocate for?
14:24Yes.
14:25I was severely mistreated
14:26by Dr. Ashton.
14:27I want him fired.
14:28Wade.
14:29Hey, you asked.
14:31I will check on you
14:32in a little bit.
14:38Luna.
14:41Can I talk to you?
14:45Did you and your husband
14:46separate because of me?
14:47What?
14:48No.
14:54You were something
14:55of a catalyst.
14:56Um, I'll admit to
14:58enjoying some
14:59harmless flirting,
15:00but if I ever gave you
15:02the impression
15:02that I wanted
15:03anything more...
15:04You absolutely
15:05gave me that impression.
15:07If I had suggested
15:08over dinner
15:08that we check
15:09into a hotel,
15:10you wouldn't have
15:11said no.
15:13Probably not.
15:14You tell yourself
15:15that it's harmless,
15:16but what it is
15:18is selfish.
15:20It doesn't matter
15:20to you
15:21what the fallout
15:21could be
15:22because you
15:22can just walk away.
15:25Thank God
15:25I came to my senses.
15:32Okay, we're going to
15:33start with some
15:33easy questions.
15:34Please restrict
15:35your answers
15:35to either a yes
15:36or a no.
15:37Is your name
15:38Seth William Ridley?
15:39Yes.
15:40Do you live
15:41at 3200 Blix Street?
15:42Yes.
15:43Are you 25 years old?
15:45Yes.
15:45Okay, now to
15:46establish a proper
15:47baseline,
15:48I'm going to
15:48ask you the same
15:49questions,
15:49but this time
15:49I want you to lie.
15:51You understand?
15:53Alright.
15:54Is your name
15:54Seth William Ridley?
15:56No.
15:57Do you live
15:58at 3200 Blix Street?
16:00No.
16:01Okay, let's start.
16:03Did you ever
16:04tell me
16:04that your high school
16:05girlfriend died
16:06from a drug overdose?
16:08Yes.
16:09Was that a lie?
16:09Yes.
16:12Were you in love
16:13with Tamar Collins?
16:16Yeah, I wanted to
16:17marry her.
16:18A simple yes
16:18or no, Ridley?
16:19Sorry, yes.
16:22Yes.
16:24One year ago,
16:24did you have cancer?
16:27I did not, no.
16:29During that time,
16:30did you ever
16:31believe you were sick?
16:33No.
16:36On the day
16:37of the Kenyan
16:38wildfire,
16:38did the National
16:39Weather Service
16:39call you
16:40about the fire
16:41spreading across
16:42Eagle Rock Road?
16:43Do we really
16:44answer the question?
16:44Did you receive a call
16:45from the Weather Service?
16:47Yes.
16:48Did you relay
16:49that information
16:49to the officers
16:50in the field?
16:52He means us.
16:53Did you try
16:54to tell us?
16:55No.
16:56On purpose?
16:57No.
16:59I got distracted
17:01and it was
17:01too late
17:02to warn you.
17:02I knew that
17:03you were pinned down.
17:04That was my fault.
17:06I'm sorry,
17:07but I,
17:09I was too afraid
17:10to say anything.
17:11No, you lied
17:12to cover up
17:13your mistake
17:13like you always do.
17:17Yes.
17:19No.
17:20No.
17:22Not anymore.
17:23Not anymore.
17:29He's crashing.
17:34His pulse is weak.
17:35He has a new month
17:36or the pressure
17:37is building
17:37in his chest cavity.
17:42Hold him steady
17:43on my puncture's chest.
17:51If you won't
17:52take us to a hospital,
17:53I need to be
17:53someplace not moving.
17:55You need to listen to us.
17:56Orange is a doctor.
17:57Why is she doing everything?
17:58I'm a radiologist.
17:59We don't have time
18:00for resumes.
18:01We need to stop
18:01the ambulance.
18:04How long
18:04do we get to the office?
18:05We're landing now.
18:09Come on, come on.
18:13I'll get the boss.
18:16Let's get Isaac
18:17on the table.
18:17Clear it off.
18:28How's he doing?
18:29Not well.
18:29All the fluid
18:30I transfused into him
18:31just keeps coming
18:31right back out.
18:32He's running out of time.
18:33How long before
18:34your dispatch
18:34realizes you're missing?
18:35A few hours.
18:36Firefighters aren't
18:37as worried about
18:38random violence as caused.
18:39Perhaps it's time
18:39to revisit that policy.
18:42I'm dying to know
18:43why you brought
18:43these randos
18:44to the office
18:45and not my money.
18:46Isaac took the cash
18:47and ran.
18:47We only caught up
18:48to him after he hit it.
18:49He started shooting.
18:50You shot back
18:51before you got my money.
18:52Well, Alan's
18:52got a little excited.
18:53Hey, we all
18:54emptied a clear.
18:55I told you to call
18:56Shut up!
18:58You're making
18:58my head hurt.
18:59How bad's our boy?
19:00Critical.
19:01He needs a hospital.
19:02Not happening.
19:03Wake him up.
19:03Give him the
19:04Pulp Fiction shot
19:05right in the heart.
19:06If that shot,
19:06epinephrine would kill him.
19:10No!
19:12I'm only going
19:13to say this once.
19:14You got ten minutes
19:15to wake him up
19:16so I can find my money
19:17or I shoot this man next.
19:26Don't?
19:26No.
19:26I have to help him
19:28or he's going to die.
19:28That's why I shot him.
19:30Get him talking.
19:31Now.
19:34Whoa, whoa, whoa.
19:36Let me triage my rookie
19:37or I cut your guy's carotid
19:38and you'll never find
19:39your money.
19:42Check out
19:42born identity, Barbie.
19:44What about
19:44the Hippocratic Oath?
19:45That's for doctors,
19:46not paramedics.
19:49Okay, how about this?
19:50You let her
19:51resurrect Isaac
19:52and you let me
19:53treat Jace.
19:53Is that okay?
19:56Fine.
19:57You go watch him.
19:58If he tries to be a hero,
19:59cap them both.
20:01Hey.
20:01Hey, I got you.
20:02Oh.
20:03All right?
20:04You know, not really.
20:06Oh, God, that's a lot of blood.
20:07Yeah.
20:08I'm going to need
20:09some hemostatic gauze on there.
20:10Right.
20:10Clearly, we're going to need
20:11to work together,
20:12so slow breaths, okay?
20:13All right, you're going to
20:13apply some serious pressure
20:14on there.
20:15I might make some noise.
20:16Right.
20:17Ready?
20:20Okay, I'm going to pass out now.
20:23All right.
20:25Hey, forget about the bleeding.
20:27Boss said wake him up.
20:28He's in hypovolemic shock.
20:29His blood pressure has cratered.
20:31He's about to die.
20:32If he dies, we are screwed, man.
20:34If he's bleeding out,
20:34give him more blood.
20:35I don't have any,
20:36so unless one of you
20:37is O-negative,
20:38the universal blood donor,
20:39we're out of luck.
20:40Yeah, no, that's me.
20:41I needed a transfusion
20:42after I took one in the leg
20:43on the Long Beach job
20:44because they told me
20:45I was O-negative.
20:46Perfect.
20:46Roll up your sleeve.
20:51Hi.
20:51Hi.
20:52I'm here to join the LAPD.
20:54What?
20:55Are you serious?
20:55Oh, God, no.
20:56I'd make a terrible cop.
20:57Aw.
20:57I came by to say hi
20:59and to see if you'd had time
21:01to listen to the song.
21:03I did.
21:04I did.
21:05Oh, I'm going to go
21:06grab a soda.
21:07You want anything?
21:08No, I'm good.
21:09I'll take a chocolate milk.
21:16You didn't like it.
21:17Are you kidding?
21:19It made me cry
21:20the first ten times
21:21I listened to it,
21:21but it's a lot of pressure,
21:24you know?
21:25Imagine how Mona Lisa felt
21:26when Da Vinci painted her.
21:28I mean, everyone constantly judging
21:30whether she was worthy
21:31of being memorialized like that.
21:33Wow, yeah.
21:34I never thought about it like that.
21:36Thank you for comparing me
21:37to Da Vinci.
21:38That's an ego boost for sure.
21:40Okay, I can change it up.
21:41I can add a line
21:42about your morning breath
21:42or how you kick me
21:44in your sleep.
21:44Okay, I do not.
21:45Do I?
21:46No.
21:46Hi.
21:47I'm here to sign up
21:48for a cop job.
21:50You are in the right place.
21:53What drew you
21:54to the law enforcement?
21:55My boyfriend's a cop
21:55and we don't get
21:56to spend much time together,
21:57so I thought this way
21:59we could see each other
22:00every day.
22:00Oh, well, that's amazing.
22:01You probably know him.
22:02Franklin Rose.
22:04Franklin Rose.
22:06Doesn't ring a bell,
22:07but you've been here
22:08longer than me, so...
22:09Well, I don't know him,
22:10but I mean, it's a big building.
22:11I'll show you a picture.
22:14Eh.
22:19Is this recent?
22:20Yeah, I took it of him
22:20last week before he went to work.
22:22Do you mind if I take a picture?
22:23Great.
22:24This will help me find him.
22:26You know, here's an application.
22:28Why don't you fill it out
22:29over there
22:30while I track him down?
22:31Okay, thanks.
22:32Yeah?
22:36What's wrong?
22:37The badge is all wrong.
22:39Yeah, this thing
22:39is from the 1970s.
22:40Maybe he was just trying
22:42to impress his girlfriend.
22:43By committing a felony?
22:45You know, I have heard rumors
22:46about low-level dealers
22:47getting ripped off by cops
22:48who confiscate their drugs
22:50and let them off
22:51with a warning.
22:52Classic dope rib.
22:53All right, I'm gonna need
22:54to talk to her.
22:55Not a problem.
22:55She's still outside.
22:56We'll go get her.
22:58Ooh.
23:01Hey, did you get everything?
23:03Boy, did I.
23:05You really think he's gonna
23:06appreciate us paying
23:06your demotion party forward?
23:08If not, we will get him
23:09drunk enough that he forgets
23:10it ever happened.
23:12All right, I gotta go.
23:13I love you.
23:13Love you, too.
23:17Hey.
23:17Hey.
23:18This must be burning.
23:19Oh, yeah?
23:19Why?
23:21Oh, well, uh, just, um,
23:24I was watching a news story
23:26about the, uh, election.
23:27What's up?
23:28Do you remember, like,
23:29a thousand years ago
23:30when this all started,
23:30we talked about doing
23:31an announcement speech
23:32to lay out my full
23:33progressive agenda?
23:34Yeah, before you chickened out.
23:36Well, if I'm gonna concede
23:37this election,
23:38I want to go out swinging.
23:39I want everyone to know
23:40exactly what I believe.
23:42Can you give me an assist?
23:43My speechwriter quit.
23:44Sure.
23:45Yeah, I sure can.
23:46You know, how about you
23:47follow me into my office,
23:48step in over here?
23:49Yeah.
23:49What kind of things
23:50were you thinking about
23:50about changing?
23:51I mean, I really like
23:51what we did the first time around.
23:53I just didn't get to nail it,
23:54you know?
23:54Oh, right.
23:58Sure, what's the verdict?
23:59Well, according to the polygraph,
24:00you told the truth
24:01about everything.
24:02Which was unexpected
24:02and proves that you've
24:04made a real effort to change.
24:05Okay, great.
24:08No?
24:09It's, no?
24:10Look, the fact that you
24:11knowingly let us drive
24:12into danger,
24:13failed to do anything about it,
24:14and then lied to protect yourself
24:16is unforgivable
24:17to the department.
24:18Even though I sacrificed myself
24:21to save Nolan's life,
24:22what about that?
24:23Does my loss count for anything?
24:25Honestly, it's not enough.
24:27Even if you were to reapply
24:28to the FTO program,
24:29I would have to share
24:30those test results
24:31with Internal Affairs.
24:32Wait.
24:34So, this whole thing's a setup?
24:37I catch 22,
24:38I lie about the fire,
24:39and I fail the test,
24:40I tell the truth,
24:41and then you're gonna use it
24:42against me?
24:43I thought you were giving me
24:44a fair shot here.
24:45Look, I'm sorry.
24:45I can see that you are genuinely
24:47trying to be a better person,
24:49but there is no coming back
24:50from what you did.
24:51Not here.
24:57Okay, I understand.
25:00Thank you for giving me
25:01the opportunity
25:01to tell the truth.
25:04I know that could not
25:06have been easy
25:06given what I put you through.
25:08Ah, man,
25:09I thought it would be enough
25:10for me to come in here
25:10and to say I'm sorry
25:13and to do the work
25:14and not be that guy anymore,
25:16but I guess I finally understand
25:21that there are simply things
25:23I just don't get to have anymore.
25:25There are doors that I close
25:27that I'm never gonna reopen.
25:33Appreciate everything
25:34you taught me.
25:34I really do.
25:40Good luck, Ridley.
25:42You walk out of here
25:44knowing you finally took
25:45responsibility for your actions.
25:47And in my book,
25:48that counts for something.
25:59Bad news.
26:00There's no cop in the LAPD
26:01with your boyfriend's name.
26:02Check again.
26:03He's closed massive cases.
26:05The mayor gave him an award.
26:08I'm so sorry,
26:08but none of that is true.
26:11Well, if he's lying,
26:12why is his boss on your wall?
26:19You sure that's him?
26:20Yeah, Captain Jennings.
26:22Okay, well, that is problematic
26:24in a whole different way.
26:26Howard Jennings doesn't work here either.
26:28He retired eight years ago.
26:36Keep pumping.
26:37It needs to flow or it'll coagulate.
26:39Damn, bro.
26:40The human body is so cool.
26:43He's stabilizing.
26:44Uh, you might want to take a look at this.
26:46I think it's femoral hyperglobocyst exfoliating.
26:52As soon as they find out where the money is,
26:53they're gonna kill us.
26:54We need a way out.
26:55Well, you're the forgotten man right now,
26:57so if you see a move to make do it,
26:58not jump in.
27:01Are you sleeping, beauty?
27:03Where am I?
27:04You're in hell, bitch.
27:07Where's my money?
27:08Screw you.
27:09Come on, Isaac.
27:09You can't take it with you.
27:11Okay, I'll tell you.
27:12Come here.
27:12I'll tell you.
27:13I hit it.
27:14Come here.
27:17Just give him a second.
27:18He's still coming out of sedation.
27:20Yeah, he's never gonna tell us.
27:21He's just gonna screw us and then die.
27:24I hope it hurts, man.
27:26I hope you're in so much pain.
27:27You're praying for the sweet mercy of death
27:29because it's coming.
27:30I don't feel good.
27:31Can you unhook me?
27:33Hey, lady, you might want to tighten that tourniquet.
27:35Whoa, whoa.
27:35No.
27:36No.
27:42You tell me or I'll take a foot.
27:45Hey, what's that mean?
27:47His heart sucked.
27:48Get him back.
27:49Now.
27:50You yell at us for shooting him,
27:51then you chop his arm off.
27:52What the hell's wrong with you?
27:53I'm getting my money.
27:54I spent six months planning this job.
27:56Yeah, from the safety of this office,
27:57while we're the ones sticking our neck.
27:59We need to bring him back.
27:59No.
28:00We're out of time.
28:01Hey, stop arguing.
28:02Get over here and help me.
28:03With what?
28:04To fix your boss's mistake,
28:05I need you to pinch off this artery
28:07so I can get a shot of adrenaline.
28:08Do it.
28:13Hey.
28:16Down, honey.
28:17He's a cop.
28:19Whoa.
28:21See him.
28:23See him.
28:26See him.
28:28Oh.
28:35Did we win?
28:36Yes, we did.
28:37Because of you.
28:38911, what's your emergency?
28:39This is Officer John Nolan.
28:41I need three units in an ambulance.
28:42Code three.
28:43Multiple assailants and one critically wounded paramedic.
28:46Great job, honey.
28:50I appreciate you coming in at such short notice, Captain.
28:53Are you kidding me?
28:54The Margaret Hoffman case is the one I can never forget.
28:57If you've got a fresh lead, I'll move heaven and earth
29:00to help you bring her killer to justice.
29:02We've got an old file plate out in here.
29:05Let's do it.
29:08Captain, I am Detective Nyla Harper.
29:10This is Detective Angela Lopez.
29:12This isn't about Margaret Hoffman.
29:14No, sir.
29:15I'll leave you to it.
29:20Think you can intimidate me with your little, uh, set-up here?
29:23No, sir.
29:24You're a legendary tough guy.
29:25Who inspired loyalty in his men and fear in his enemies.
29:30Who the hell are you to mock me?
29:31Your worst nightmare.
29:33That's the first thing that springs to mind, but I don't know how I did.
29:36It sounds a little cringy when I say it out loud, huh?
29:38We'll workshop it later.
29:39Okay.
29:39Right now, we're dying to know what happened to you.
29:42Why cross over to the dark side?
29:44I have no idea what you're talking about, and I'm leaving.
29:46I guess we'll just have to get our answers from Franklin Rose.
29:49Or the other two felons that you recruited.
29:51Marcus Kennedy and Jeremiah Gomez.
29:57And what crimes do you think these men have been doing?
29:59Well, robbing drug dealers so you can sell the product yourself.
30:04And before you protest that you've never heard of them,
30:06we have Jeremiah and Marcus in custody.
30:09And they dropped your name the second the cuffs came out.
30:11It's over, sir.
30:12We will be placing you under arrest.
30:15You have the right to remain silent.
30:17Anything you say can and will be used against you in a court of law.
30:20You have the right to an attorney.
30:22If you cannot afford an attorney, one will be provided for you.
30:26Do you understand?
30:33Yeah.
30:34Yeah, I understand.
30:36My entire career, I never once crossed the line.
30:39I was as straight an arrow as you could be.
30:44But my personal life was a bit more chaotic.
30:48Three wives, six kids.
30:50Seven.
30:50Oof.
30:51It got expensive.
30:52It got ridiculous.
30:54Credit cards were all maxed out.
30:55It was behind on everything.
30:56You spend your entire career cleaning up messes desperate people made.
31:02Feeling superior.
31:05Turns out we all have a tipping point.
31:07I was just going to do the dope rips until I got caught up financially.
31:11I thought, who the hell am I hurting?
31:12Drug dealers?
31:13They'd shoot their mother for a trans am.
31:18I gave my life to the job.
31:22I did way more good for this city than the wrong I did now.
31:31Let's go.
31:33Come on.
31:47That's Franklin.
31:55Hi.
31:56Hey, baby.
31:57I hope it's okay.
31:58I wanted to surprise you.
31:59Boy, did you?
32:00They were having a recruitment drive, and I thought, wouldn't it be fun if you and me worked together?
32:04It would.
32:05Yeah, it sure would.
32:06But listen, baby, you haven't actually gone inside and talked to anybody, have you?
32:08No.
32:09I waited like you asked me to.
32:10Great.
32:11Oh, that was so great.
32:12Listen, so I do have a couple errands I have to run.
32:14Why don't you come with me?
32:16No.
32:16No.
32:17Hey, hey, hands.
32:18Show me your hands.
32:20Turn around and walk to the glass now.
32:22All right.
32:22Turn around.
32:23All right.
32:24Franklin Rose.
32:25You're under arrest of felony robbery.
32:27I can't.
32:28Just let me call my boss.
32:29No need, my man.
32:30Captain Jennings is already in holding.
32:33Let's move.
32:37Kitty?
32:39Are you serious?
32:41I've really got a golden gut, huh?
32:44I wouldn't know a decent guy if he came up to me and said...
32:47Hey.
32:48You weren't kidding when you said you had to go do a thing before we could drown my sorrows,
32:52huh?
32:52Mm-hmm.
32:54Hi.
32:55Hi.
32:56Kitty Adams.
32:58Seth Ridley.
32:58Nice to meet you, Kitty.
32:59You, uh, new to town?
33:01You don't really have a big city vibe going on.
33:03In a good way.
33:04Uh, Kitty, I don't think you should.
33:06Why don't you blow off your friends and have a drink with me instead?
33:11I'll tell you my life story.
33:14Go for it, dude.
33:15Okay.
33:17What?
33:18Nothing.
33:19Maybe it's such a bad idea, it's actually good.
33:30Detectives from the Pacific Division have connected our kidnappers to a bank robbery in Santa Monica
33:35they made off with over $2 million.
33:37All that explains why they were so desperate to find it.
33:39And why Isaac was so determined not to tell them.
33:41He took that secret to the grave.
33:43Which means that money's still out there.
33:44Hmm, treasure hunt later?
33:48Yeah, we just have to give it back.
33:50Right.
33:51That's less fun.
33:51Less fun.
33:52Mm-hmm.
33:57The good news is that I'm alive.
33:59What's the bad news?
34:00Well, all things considered, there is none.
34:03The surgery was straightforward.
34:05The bullet missed all your major organs.
34:07Thank God.
34:09But this leaves us with the outstanding question.
34:11Was this a life lesson or a cautionary tale?
34:14Something tells me you already know the answer to that.
34:16Oh.
34:17Cautionary tale all day.
34:18Definitely a thinker and not a doer.
34:21Well, personally, I think you would have made an excellent paramedic.
34:25You have more brain power than this entire hospital and just the right amount of bravery.
34:30That means a lot coming from the legend that is Bailey Noon and her husband's pretty cool, too.
34:37I told you.
34:37I'll keep him.
34:39You know, this reminds me of a fun allegory from Plato.
34:42It's much more compelling than the original ancient view.
34:45I think you should rest.
34:46I'm fine.
34:47I'll just catch a Uber.
34:49You will not.
34:51I will drive you to your hotel.
34:53Plus, you promised me that we would have a chance to really talk, so I am going to take you
34:58hostage until we do.
35:01That's my girl.
35:02For what it's worth, I slammed the door in Ashton's face today.
35:09Figuratively.
35:10Disappointing.
35:13Like I told you before, he was just a temptation.
35:17Nothing more.
35:18But it did shake me up a bit.
35:22You have to admit that our marriage has been pretty static the last few years.
35:27I would have said solid, but I understand what you mean.
35:32I also understand now that this was more than just a new job for you.
35:38It was the beginning of something.
35:41But my question is, does our marriage have a part in this new beginning?
35:46Yes.
35:47I just got my head turned around, and I made a mess of things.
35:53I want us to be healthy again.
35:54I know we can't just click our heels together and make that happen.
35:59We can, if we do it in therapy.
36:04Yes.
36:05I think that's exactly where we should go.
36:09Look, how about if I take you home?
36:14You can sleep in the guest room if you want, but we can keep talking.
36:25Okay.
36:27I'd like that.
36:30You're not getting nothing tonight.
36:32Just be in your crutch.
36:33I'm just saying.
36:40Come here to celebrate the death of Shangri-La?
36:43Not at all.
36:44It's been a challenging day all around.
36:46Wanted to make sure you're doing okay.
36:48Well, thanks, kid.
36:49That's a lot more thoughtful than my traitorous lottery neighbors have been.
36:53They couldn't wait to get out of here.
36:56I mean, it looks like they bought you a few things on the way out, though.
36:59Oh, if they think they can talk me out of suing by buying me barbecues and ice makers,
37:04they are sadly mistaken.
37:06Does that mean that they're up for grabs?
37:07No, I'm not an idiot.
37:08I already sold them on eBay for a buttload.
37:11Okay.
37:11Since you're both here, I'm way past due with flushing the septic system on the RV,
37:16and it takes at least three hands.
37:18Oh, we got that.
37:20We got all the plans.
37:21That thing.
37:22The thing.
37:23Yeah, that thing.
37:23Yep.
37:24Yeah.
37:25You have yourself a good night, okay?
37:27Mm-hmm.
37:27Okay.
37:28Bye, Mrs. Smitty.
37:29Hey, guys.
37:33Early returns are coming in.
37:35Good news?
37:36No.
37:36We're getting crushed.
37:38Hey.
37:38Okay, so my concession speech is pre-recorded, ready to be released into the world just as
37:44soon as I officially lose.
37:45It's soon, babe.
37:46They're ready to call in.
37:47Listen, let us take you to dinner.
37:49We know this great Mexican spot up in the valley.
37:51Was it Nolan and Bailey's place?
37:55You told.
37:57He saw all the decorations.
37:59What, did you want me to lie?
38:00Yes.
38:01It's fine.
38:02I can think of no better place to celebrate my failures than with all of my friends.
38:05You made it to the finish line and fell down on your face while everybody watched.
38:15You lost a race you tried to win and you can't even argue cause you lost by a lot.
38:25I did.
38:25You tried your best and you got wrecked and now you're looking all depressed.
38:36You made a new mistake.
38:38You feel ashamed.
38:40You don't have to lie away.
38:46If you think you're on your own, just come home.
38:50We'll be waiting when you don't know what to do anymore.
39:06Give me a piece to eat.
39:09This just feels weird.
39:13Oh, just, that's my, okay.
39:16Yeah, there.
39:17Well, thank you.
39:20They're about to play your speech.
39:22You want to turn on the news?
39:24No. No, I think that's in our rearview mirror now.
39:26Well, Vivian was going to fire you anyways. Might as well speak your truth.
39:31It felt so good to cut through the noise. You know, stop playing politics.
39:36It also made me realize how little I'd accomplished at the DA's office.
39:40I mean, I tried to change the system from within, but without being the boss, without having that power, it's
39:44a losing battle.
39:45So I think I'm going to go back to being a defense lawyer.
39:50I figured, but there are a lot of cops who are going to feel betrayed, like you're siding with the
39:55enemy.
39:56Well, there's only one cop whose opinion I care about.
40:00Oh.
40:01Yeah.
40:01I'm all for it. Our sex life was unreal, and we're on opposite sides.
40:06Yes, it was. Oh.
40:08Okay.
40:09Hmm. Okay. Okay.
40:14Here's the thing. I wrote the song because I think you're incredible,
40:17and because I got really excited when I realized that Selena rhymes with zebra and subpoena.
40:21Does it, though?
40:22Close enough for art.
40:24Look, I'm sorry that it made you feel self-conscious, but a song is not a statement of truth.
40:29It's an opinion.
40:30I think you're the most beautiful woman in the world.
40:32That does not objectively make you that.
40:34Okay. Well, in case you haven't noticed, I am a painfully humble person.
40:38I mean, how can I not be?
40:39I'm surrounded by the most amazing people on the daily.
40:44I mean, seriously, take a look at that group of badass overachievers.
40:48Every single one of them a unicorn in their own way.
40:52And you belong right there with them.
40:55I won't be taking any arguments at this time.
41:01On the speech.
41:05Everyone, if you'd gather around, it is official.
41:07Sadly, Wesley will not be the new district attorney.
41:12That's okay.
41:14But, Wesley, clearly everybody in this room is fiercely proud of you for putting yourself out there
41:20and shining a light on what is wrong with our system and the ways in which it could be fixed
41:24if we were only collectively brave enough to try.
41:28So, we raise our glasses to you.
41:30To Wesley.
41:31Woo!
41:34I can't say that it was an enjoyable experience, but, man, was it memorable.
41:38We've all gone through so much together this year.
41:41Sometimes it felt like it was more than we could handle, but it wasn't because we had each other.
41:47It's safe to say that I have no idea what the future has in store, but I do know one
41:51thing.
41:52We won't be going through it alone.
41:54Because we're a family.
41:56So, thank you.
41:57Hear, hear.
41:58Yeah!
41:59Woo!
42:00Let's eat.
42:01Please.
42:02We can eat.
42:03And we don't know what to do anymore.
42:06That's what we're here for.
42:11That's what we're here for.
42:15We don't know what to do anymore.
42:18We don't know what to do anymore.
42:20We don't know what to do anymore.
42:22We don't know what to do anymore.
42:27We don't know what to do anymore.
42:30We don't know what to do anymore.
42:31We don't know what to do anymore.
42:32We don't know what to do anymore.
42:32We don't know what to do anymore.
42:33We don't know what to do anymore.
42:34We don't know what to do anymore.
42:34We don't know what to do anymore.
42:35We don't know what to do anymore.
42:37We don't know what to do anymore.
42:52Damn it.
