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.
00:08I wanted you guys to be the first to see my new office.
00:11Look, if I'm going to be more out on the street watch 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
00:28with potential threat levels.
00:29He calls it a super shop.
00:30That's a working title.
00:32See, we got pads and bats,
00:34infrared camera,
00:36breaching tools.
00:37I have two 32-inch screens.
00:40Woo!
00:41Wow.
00:42Can I be watch commander?
00:43No.
00:44But you are riding with me today.
00:45Yes.
00:45Hey, show them droning.
00:47Oh, yeah.
00:48Check this out.
00:56Isn't he cute?
00:57Hey.
00:58Really?
00:59Yeah.
01:00Look, super shop makes the Batmobile look like a kitty toy.
01:02And I can control it all right here from my phone.
01:07See?
01:11Damn it.
01:12Whoa, whoa.
01:13Damn it.
01:18Stop, stop, stop, stop.
01:21Let me go tonight.
01:24Tell me now that we're gonna get down.
01:28I'm gonna shake it down.
01:29It's not gonna be as easy as you think based 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 even if you stay in
01:43the SUV super shop
01:45It's a working thing
01:52Morning
01:54All right, listen up. We're gonna do things a little different today
01:57There'll be two supervisors out on the street sergeant Chen and myself. I
02:04Know I know no one wants the boss showing up to their calls second-guessing their every move. That is
02:09not my intention
02:10Okay, nothing has to change. I just put wheels on my office
02:13While we work out the details officer Nolan will be riding with me to help facilitate the transition any questions
02:21Can I pick the playlist?
02:24Dumb question all right second order of business officer Juarez will be on temporary duty assignment with the detectives bureau
02:31Did you choose your focus? Yes?
02:33missing persons
02:35You sure about that? Yeah
02:38Your call all right. I have some updates from the night shift missing person is really that bad
02:44Detective Desmond has a reputation like a Harper reputation no
02:50Opposite
02:52Last day at the D.A.'s office excited
02:54I'm relieved when the D.A. had one foot in retirement now that Vivian's D.A. elect
02:58She's gonna have free reign
02:59None of that will matter once you quit and open a private practice in Malibu with a view of the
03:04ocean
03:04With that commute you'd never see me again. Well in my dream
03:08I also work in Malibu of a robot helicopter that flies the kids to school and a pony
03:13I'll start to kill another one of your dreams but I already reached out to my old landlord and
03:17The only view from that office is the Ethiopian place on the first floor. Oh before you go make sure
03:22you pass off my cases to the right
03:24Prosecutors Daniels doesn't touch homicide. Give mine to Cosgrove. He is solid. That might be an issue
03:29Cosgrove just quit. I gotta go. Good luck
03:32Wesley so good to see you. Yeah, right
03:35I'm serious. No hard feelings on my end. Yeah, because you destroyed me. Well, exactly
03:38I made good on the promise I made you when you threw your hat in the ring. It'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 D.A.'s office in a positive direction
03:50You're not gonna fall for that are you? No, I was about to hand in my resignation letter
03:54Well, she won't accept it with Cosgrove Garcia and Martin already out
03:58She can't afford to lose anyone else Martin quit keyed her car on the way out a hero to us
04:03all
04:04Come on
04:07Hey, sorry about the election that should have been me facing Vivian you were handed a poison chalice. I drank
04:13from it willingly
04:15How's Logan? He's good. You know, he just got another chip. He's been clean now almost four months. That's great
04:23What about you you into the Rothwell and Pierce thing? No, I'm
04:28I'm gonna stay here and you should too. Mm-hmm. Come on Wes. You join this place to change the
04:34culture from within to ensure that
04:37Justice not punishment was our paramount virtue. Remember? It's a very inspirational message
04:42They just lost by 23 points
04:45Look Vivian ran on tough on crime. She's gonna deliver. Yeah, which is why the city needs people like us
04:50here now more than ever
04:52Look, we still can make a difference
04:54Sean you're here already. Let's work together one last time if at the end of the day. You still want
04:59to quit. I won't stand anyway
05:01This job is where ambition goes to die
05:05Wait, what missing persons. It's not a real department. It's a halfway house for cases on the way to real
05:11departments
05:12That's a lot of reports for a fake department
05:1490% of these cases will solve themselves
05:17Teenager just needed to blow off steam a wife went on a bender came home when she sobered up kid
05:22fell asleep playing hide-and-seek
05:23I've been on patrol for three years. I know most missing persons reports go nowhere, but
05:28There are people in the stack who are victims of real crimes crimes with their own departments like trafficking or
05:35homicide
05:36Sorry to interrupt
05:37Homicide once in the graph case
05:39Fisherman found the body looks like murder rest in peace
05:47Okay, obviously you know the job way better than I do but
05:50It wouldn't hurt to look through the case file see if there's anyone we can help
05:55Knock yourself out
06:03This thing drives like a dream in these seats
06:07Ten minutes in a regular shop my ass is barking. Yeah, but don't get used to it. You're just here
06:12while I work out the kinks
06:13Once Penn is back from training you're back in the shop, and I'm on my own
06:16I have a four-fifteen at fifth and Western RP reports to shirtless men circling each other
06:22Seven at 100 two blocks away shows responding you sure sounds like your basic alcohol-fueled slugfest. Yeah, I have
06:29to test response times and even the most basic of calls
06:34Captain's calling Bradford can you hold yeah, I'll hold
06:43I'll be right there I got this
06:47LAPD you guys break it up
06:49Sorry, he was just called into a meeting. Can you hold just a minute longer? No, I'm at
07:05Sorry to keep you waiting no 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. It's important that people feel safe in public place
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 just want to say your tireless commitment to justice and the people. Thank you, sir
07:31You're still here and I think I found a workable case Sadie Bell 30th was reported missing last week
07:39But according to her best friend Joe Sadie never misses visitation with her kid on the first Tuesday of every
07:45month
07:46Walk with me
07:49Reporting party's address
07:525206 Street, it's a homeless shelter. Joe is unhoused meaning Sadie's unhoused not the most reliable bunch on the other
07:58hand sir
07:59Unhoused women are highly vulnerable to physical and sexual assaults true
08:03And they're also more likely to be substance abusers who miss things like supervised child visitations
08:09I know well, I think it's worth investigating. So what's our first step?
08:13Why are you so gung-ho officer Morris? And don't just say the indefatigability of youth
08:20My sister was abducted when I was a child sir. I
08:24Lived the fear of not knowing where a loved one is
08:29Understandable
08:30And quite noble, but I would caution you that the thousand files in my office
08:34Are not an unending stack of potential happy endings for the subset that are not just runaways or miscommunications
08:42The endings are mostly heartbreaking
08:48I haven't had a chance to review the reports, but it's at the top of my list. Okay, I appreciate
08:53the reminder
08:56How did gray make it look so easy all the scowl helped yeah
08:59You don't want to bother that face with anything less than an absolute emergency. My scowl is legend. It was
09:05but then lucy moved it
09:09You know what I take it back
09:12Hey dash everything all right hey, so lesson for the future if somebody asks you if you want to see
09:18a dead body say no
09:21Dash are you standing over a dead body?
09:24Yep
09:28It's been here for at least a day
09:29I don't know how long for sure until tID gets here and we turn him over kenneth morris k-dog
09:35for real
09:36uh
09:37Kenny's my english teacher was my english teacher okay, so uh
09:41Who found the body a Dakota we're in fourth period together, but I didn't think it was real
09:46She's always gossiping about something last week
09:49She 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. No offense. It just doesn't seem like uh coastwood is
09:58Your scene. Oh, it's not
10:00But 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 dad not in the
10:08picture
10:09No, he kind of lurks in the background like the babadook specializing in bad decisions and hot cougars, right
10:16Uh, so you said Dakota found the body original
10:19Uh, no Dakota said cj told her about it who heard about it from ilia 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 unknown
10:33But I bet they all took selfies with it
10:35I'm starving
10:36Can we order green juice or something your intermittent fest doesn't end until one we can talk after that
10:42No one is asking you to spy on your friends now
10:45We have hidden surveillance set up to capture candid conversations tight. Oh, but they're not my friends. Oh
10:51How's my hair?
10:54Fine. Who were you trying to impress? No 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 clearly
11:14She nice
11:14Hey, dash, do you want to come to my premiere tonight?
11:17Uh, yeah, totally. I would love to
11:19No, 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 the new laporte film it's already getting oscar buzz
11:31Oh, who do you play in the movie young addict number two no lines, but my featured reactions
11:36Really carry the film. Oh, by the way, I have a heart out at three glam squads coming to my
11:42house
11:42Well, we'll try to get you out in time for the full face shellacking. Do you have a parent or
11:47guardian with you?
11:48Oh
11:49No, thank you. I was legally emancipated when I was 13 so I could um work adult hours on set
11:55I don't need them here great. Let's interview you first
11:59Please tell me jack won't be going there. It'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, but la elementary schools are more competitive than stamford and having an easy path would save hundreds of hours
12:21of stress
12:22Yeah, but then he'd be going to school with kids like these that's where it falls apart and what can
12:27you tell me about morris?
12:29Kenny was such a sweetie even when I had to miss a lot of class last year. He was so
12:33chill about it
12:34Why did you have to miss school? I was doing this indie project
12:36We're supposed to premiere at sundance, but then the director had all these like
12:41Harassment allegations or whatever and got basically blackballed and now my career has to suffer
12:46Like did kenneth have any disagreements with other teachers faculty? No, I really can't imagine anyone wanting to hurt ken
12:53ken
12:53It wasn't traditionally attractive sure, but that's no reason to be murdered
12:58right?
13:00Can I vape in here? I have a note from my therapist. He does. I have it right here. No
13:06Who first told you about the body in the woods? It was sushi tuesday, so I was pretty laser focused
13:12on whether I wanted ahi or uni
13:15I think I ended up getting both let's focus here
13:19Where did you hear about the body? Well, I remember autumn mentioning something earlier in the day when she was
13:26talking to ilia
13:27But ilia said he had heard it from zoe
13:29I guess she originally saw something about it in a dm from lynette when she was going through cj's phone
13:34And given what happened on the school trip last year. It is super sketchy that he was damming lynette
13:42Backup where do we think the rumor started nowhere like everywhere how are we further from figuring this out than
13:48when we started?
13:49I call for backup. Hi again. Thank god normal teenager. No offense. It's just your
13:56Classmates tend to be overwhelmed by their own champagne problems. I get it
13:59My dysfunction is a little bit more proletariat. Yes, 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
14:12But so far no one we have talked to has said they're the one who started the rumor
14:16They all claim to have heard it from someone else right so reese heard about it from cj who heard
14:21about it from zoe
14:22Who saw it in a dm from you said that reese heard about it from cj. That's what she told
14:27us
14:27That doesn't make any sense
14:29They got in a huge fight last week about you know whether or not
14:31Sending nudes to other people counts as cheating they haven't spoken to each other since and word in the halls
14:36is that zoe and cj are the new
14:38It couple oh my god
14:39Yes, I was totally picking up on that vibe, but I saw that zoe wasn't following cj on instagram
14:43So I put it from my head, but when I double back to check it looks like she does follow
14:48him
14:48But only with her with her finsta. Yeah
14:52Okay, this is this is actually all starting to make sense it is
14:55Um, so linna and emma they went to the bathroom to do a fit check for their joint instagram account
15:01and linette said that
15:02She hears somebody crying in one of the stalls and she says that it's reese because she recognizes her leather
15:08tabbies
15:08Travis tells paul in the parking lot that he heard about a dead body from some bitch in first period
15:15and
15:15And who does he have first period with reese and dash heard about the body from dakota who is reese's
15:22second best friend
15:23But she has been fighting for that number one spot
15:27So 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 so i'm thinking
15:59She crawled in here to stay dry and got trapped
16:03A couple of months ago. I found a bunch of guys living it up in an access tunnel electricity wi
16:09-fi the whole thing
16:11They had the right idea
16:13But you also have electricity and wi-fi
16:14Yeah, but i have to pay for it
16:19You know one of those gays if they locked behind her she could be trapped or too injured to crawl
16:23out
16:24Yeah, but at this point she's probably dead from dehydration
16:28Wait, what?
16:32Sadie
16:33If you can hear me make a sound
16:47Desmond where are you i'm inside a service tunnel looking for sadie
16:50I called the shelter. She showed up this morning. You're kidding. Well, why didn't they call us?
16:54They never do so she was fine this whole time yeah, it turns out that her friend had the visitation
16:59date wrong
17:00But hey cheer up at least you only wasted your own time
17:08I am so sorry
17:20Oh, hey selena
17:24Hey, I heard about the missing person who wasn't missing already. I just got back smitty was with you, right?
17:31Oh, i'm gonna have a lot of favors after dragging the cavalry through the sewers
17:35Okay, first of all do not refer to any group that includes smitty as the cavalry and second
17:40Those guys will forgive you or you know somebody else will screw up way worse and then they'll be focused
17:44on that
17:45Well, i'm kidding. Hey, one misstep does not change the fact that your instincts here are
17:51Legendary so just take a second to wallow in this but then get cleaned up and get back out there.
17:55Yeah
18:01Yeah
18:03Oh, you're too kind
18:05Yes, i'm really looking forward to working with you as well madam mayor. Okay. Bye-bye
18:10Sorry been so busy
18:12Before I make the big move upstairs
18:14I wanted to get our house in order a little bit clear the deck so we have 27 felony arrests
18:21Waiting prosecution. We just do not have the manpower and take them all to trial. Why did you lose some
18:27ada's or something?
18:29There's been turnover. Yes, so i've got plea deals approved for all these cases and I need you both to
18:35get them signed asap murder, too
18:37This guy robbed a convenience store and the clerk had a heart attack that is felony manslaughter
18:41At best and a teen who pegged his principal with a football is assault with a deadly weapon did the
18:46da sign off on these
18:47I pointed to the significant mandate voters handed me and he agreed well their lawyers are not going to agree
18:53to these terms
18:54Make them agree
19:06Apple pruitt she lives in my building her mother reported her missing a month ago when she didn't return from
19:11coachella
19:13Every year we get a spike in imports after chella. This is one time
19:17This guy disassociated so hard. He reported himself missing. No, but this one's weird
19:22Apple has a strong social media presence, but didn't post anything about what happened this year
19:27There was a massive dust storm. They canceled day two at the sahara tent. I mean everyone was posting about
19:32it
19:32It's not exactly a smoking gun
19:34Okay, listen, I know how this sounds but something is telling me to investigate
19:39I
19:40See what's going on you said she lives in your building mm-hmm classic 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. I'm not trying to go home early
19:54That's too bad. I thought you were finally catching on
20:00There's no obvious connection between reese and mr morris he did tutor her every week, but he tutored a lot
20:06of 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 and one of the parents added a winky face emoji?
20:19Every student who paid for tutoring got a name the only kid who was struggling was dash
20:23Yeah, his mom was barely scraping tuition together. They couldn't afford anything extra. Okay, so
20:28The parents are paying for grades so the kids get into a better college, but I mean
20:33Why kill him maybe he couldn't deliver if I spend that kind of money and my kid didn't get into
20:38their dream school?
20:39I'd be pissed
20:42Arise have you decided what college you're going to um, I think I may be taking a gap year
20:48From your social media accounts. It seems like you're all about yale
20:52It's kind of my mom's thing, but 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. We know that's not true
21:12But you did tell dakota and travis and lynette
21:16You know that tells me
21:19You wanted someone to know you wanted the police to know but you just didn't want to be the one
21:25to call
21:26It didn't seem right that he was just lying out there. How do you know he'd been killed?
21:35I
21:36I stayed late on tuesday. My mom wanted to talk to mr. Morris. She was so angry about yale
21:43She was yelling at him and he wanted to talk somewhere private. So they went out back behind
21:48the school
21:50I 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 I knew she did something
22:10I didn't want any of this to happen. I don't even care about college
22:20Well at least I know why I was failing the class your mom wasn't bribing the teacher yeah then I
22:25never did any homework
22:28I'll listen your mom is stuck at school things are about as hectic over there as you can imagine so
22:32your dad's gonna come take you home
22:34Is that right? Yeah, it's fine. He
22:37Shows up every six to eight months to remind everybody where my mom got sole custody
22:41I'm telling you you cannot lose you would be a fool not to invest hit me up on socials. I
22:46will tell you more about it. Okay. Hey, this is my guy
22:50How you doing? I still haven't had that grocery yet, huh? I'm pacing myself. Hey, sorry. I haven't been around
22:55much been
22:55Working crazy hours. Um, but good news tiger bear has one more investor signed on with a non-binding verbal
23:01agreement tiger bear
23:03It's a soup. It's a breakfast soup. Dash. Come on. No, that was the last one
23:07Tiger bear whiskey tequila is the whiskey list startup. It's gonna be huge
23:11You should get in on the ground floor champ. I'm telling you an investment of 10 grand will triple by
23:16the end of the year guarantee
23:17You do know your son found one of his teachers dead behind the school gym today. Damn it
23:24Sorry, sorry, uh, okay, uh, keep going. Uh, so dash was working out. Just take me home
23:30We'll have to excavate the passenger seat for parking tickets again, or he's joking. I am a model citizen. Don't
23:36say that
23:38Dash
23:41I'm around if you need me
23:43So we gotta stop by my place first, but we'll make it a pro app, you know, or some za
23:46we'll watch last week's ufc
23:48That problem
23:50Just the universal unfairness of the world nothing actionable
23:56Thanks for coming in this is a plea deal and before you ask it's the best deal your client's gonna
24:01get I know murder two
24:03It seems excessive. I 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 now a jury could see that as extenuating circumstances
24:15I mean if the jury was blind
24:17Maybe they'd see that as a gang tattoo, but I don't have to risk that possibility if you just say
24:22yes to the plea
24:23I mean who cares? There's no precedent for a felony prosecution this severe
24:26So what if our only witness has been charged with perjury and false accusations and two other cases?
24:32I mean if you think you could do better at trial you just push that plea deal right back at
24:36me
24:58You know where near too loud I'm officer quad is with LAPD. Yeah, I'm following your roommate apple pruitt's case
25:05Yeah, she hasn't come home, right? No, no, I'm I'm we're sick
25:11Do you mind if I come inside sure? Yeah, of course
25:20I've actually been boxing up apple's things all day. It's officially 30 days tomorrow
25:25I just I need someone else in here to help me with this
25:28Crazy rent not that apple is great about paying
25:32She doesn't believe in money or monogamy or
25:36Cleaning she sounds like a lot. Oh, I mean don't get me wrong. She was
25:42Is um one of my favorite people just not the greatest at cohabitation, right?
25:48And the last time you saw her was right before she left for coachella
25:52She left going even though she had her issues before I mean bad drugs and aggressive guys. She
25:59Definitely had some scares. And you think that's what happened to her. I I don't know. Um
26:05I mean
26:07I'm just trying to be helpful, but I'm desperate for you to find her
26:12Do you mind if I take a look at her bedroom? Yeah, no problem. It's uh, it's right over there
26:43I
27:09I
27:10I
27:57I
28:01This is officer Juarez badge number five three three nine seven
28:03I'm code four with a possible two four five suspect also suspected of an 187 sent backup
28:09I need an r-a-t-i-d to my location
28:14You don't understand she was the worst roommate ever
28:21I'm pretty sure you're the worst roommate ever
28:26So this is just temporary
28:29But the money train is chugging into the station
28:34Then I'm gonna be playing the how many square feet is too many square feet game
28:38Want some? Uh, no, thanks. I just shotgun some gasoline
28:40Oh god, I had some serious stuff
28:53Hey, um, so this fancy private school of yours where a teacher was just murdered
28:58Really? How have you not been paying attention?
29:01Never mind. Of course you haven't
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 anyways
29:15You'll 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, I know you're in 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? Just go
29:46Go
29:47And don't come out
29:48No matter what
29:57Dash?
29:57I think I might be in some trouble
30:03Fellas
30:03Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, I'm sorry about the confusion. Your money, it's being transferred. It's just the act,
30:08you know, it takes a few days, so
30:11Okay, where are you?
30:13Uh, the closet, dad's apartment, they're beating him up
30:17I can get your money just one more day, like two times
30:22All right, stay hidden until we get there
30:24I can't
30:26They'll kill him, I have to do something
30:28No, Dash, Dash, no
30:34I don't know how you can get your money
30:36What the hell is this?
30:37It's, uh, my neighbor, he waters my plants
30:44You are such a liar
30:45Although lying to protect your kid is almost noble
30:48Be ashamed if I had to break all his teeth, stump both his ends in a suit
30:52Pass
30:53And pass
30:55How about we go with my plan instead
30:57Rob a bunch of rich kids that go to my school, who wants a rolex
31:04You 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
31:23He's a pretentious auteur filmmaker
31:26His new movie launches tonight
31:27Autumn Harrington is in it
31:29That's the girl that Dash has a crush on
31:30Her address is in the system
31:36Damn, who is this chick?
31:38Autumn?
31:39She's an up and coming it girl
31:40Her 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
31:50You and your dad gonna find out what the landfill tastes like
31:53Out
31:59Stay with Gus until I give you the signal
32:00All 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
32:38Got it?
32:39Yes, sir
32:44You're not my agadashi tofu
32:47You're not supposed to be here
32:48Well, you cut me out of the movies
32:50I 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
32:56My parents are in Monaco
32:59All right
32:59Get over here
33:00I don't want to
33:02No problem
33:02I'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
33:26Now take me to your parents room
33:27And they better have a boatload of watches and jewelry
33:28Hey, hey
33:29Whoa, whoa
33:29Those whiskey bottles worth like 500 each
33:31I'm just gonna grab a couple
33:32Show me
33:39What about this?
33:41The Merlot, really?
33:42No, dude, those two are worth way more
33:53All right, all right
34:28Where's the jewelry?
34:29Closet
34:30All right
34:33Hey, hey
34:33Stay here
34:45I can't believe you brought them to my house
34:47I panicked, okay?
34:48They were gonna kill my dad
34:50And besides, you weren't supposed to be here
34:52I would never knowingly put you in danger
34:54Because you have the odds for me
34:55I have romantic intentions, yeah
34:58But clearly you don't share them
35:00So
35:00I mean, it'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, your parents are freaky
35:17What the hell are you doing?
35:19Get away from there
35:20Oh, no, sorry
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
35:34But I try, you know?
35:37When it's convenient for me
35:39Like, I want to be better
35:40Like, I really do
35:41I think about it all the time
35:44Well, not all the time
35:46It's not the heart of the problem, really
35:48I just gotta be better
35:49The kid deserves a role model
35:51Not the flamin' 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
35:58Hey, ah!
35:59When the hell did you get here?
36:01Where's Dash?
36:02Let's go
36:02No, she's staying here
36:04She hasn't seen your face
36:05So you're in the clear
36:06Just, just, you 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
36:18Stay right here
36:26Get back
36:28Drop it
36:31Come on, get up
36:34Hey, you okay?
36:36Physically
36:37Here, give me this
36:39Come here
36:41Ow, thanks
36:44And thanks for trying to save me
36:46Yeah, anytime
36:47Oh, thank god
36:51Although, I knew it was all gonna be alright
36:53Hey, um, maybe we don't tell your mom about this
36:56You know, we just keep it a bro thing
36:57Stop!
36:58Just stop
37:00Everything that you do
37:01Everything that you say
37:02Is just so selfish
37:04So toxic
37:05You haven't done one fatherly thing for me in my entire life
37:08All you care about is yourself
37:09And I'm just sick of it
37:12I'm done with you
37:14Forever
37:14What?
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 the plea deal
37:31Not a one
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
37:39About that
37:41I quit
37:41And I'd say best of luck
37:43But I hope you fail
37:45Spectacularly
37:46Sorry, Sean, I just can't
37:47No, no worries
37:48I can't either
37:50I quit too
37:52Ah
37:52Hey, 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
37:57Evers and Del Monte
38:00Turn to the right
38:01Way ahead of you
38:02Not my first radio
38:04Now we just need your clothes for evidence
38:06And then, uh, for you to go
38:10After everything that happened?
38:12The DA may still press charges
38:14But it was pretty clear you were under duress
38:17I really wanted this time to be different
38:19I was gonna buy a dash of car
38:21With the tiger bear money
38:22I looked to make up for lost time, you know
38:25But he's right
38:26I screw everything up
38:28He's better off without me
38:29Probably
38:32I've had some experience with bad fathers
38:34And the love the sons feel for them
38:37No matter how many times they get their hearts broken
38:40And unless you're willing to change
38:42And I mean
38:44Really
38:44Change
38:46Best thing you can do for Dash is just
38:48Leave him the hell alone
38:59What were you thinking?
39:02I'm fine
39:03Thanks 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 let my best intentions obscure my judgment
39:32Proving I still have a lot to learn about this job
39:36But 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
40:07I'm glad you're okay
40:23Your dad's gone and your mom's on her way
40:26Cool
40:30You wanna talk about anything?
40:32Uh, not really
40:34I think I'm a little talked out for once
40:38Understood
40:42You're at the risk of sounding overly earnest
40:46You'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
40:57Any way, shape, or form
41:00But I also know that family pain is emotional and not intellectual
41:10I'm just trying to say, uh
41:12If you ever need a reminder of this conversation
41:15You 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 shoutouts
41:35Just the calls
41:37Okay
41:39Smart man
42:19Damn it
42:20Damn it
