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 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,
00:25and 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,
00:36breaching 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.
00:45Show them droning.
00:47Oh, yeah.
00:48Check this out.
00:57Isn't he cute?
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.
01:08See?
01:11Damn it.
01:12Whoa, whoa.
01:13Damn it.
01:15He's playing Tim's Pump Up Jazz.
01:17Damn it.
01:18Come on, come on, come on.
01:18Stop.
01:19Stop.
01:20Stop.
01:24I'm telling you now that we're gonna get down.
01:27I'm gonna shake it down.
01:29I'm gonna shake it down.
01:30It's not gonna 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.
01:45It's a working thing.
01:52Good morning.
01:53Good morning.
01:54All right, listen up.
01:55We're gonna do things a little different today.
01:58There'll be two supervisors out on the street.
02:01Sergeant Chen and myself.
02:04I know, I know.
02:05No one's the boss showing up to their calls, second guessing their every move.
02:09That is not my intention, okay?
02:11Nothing has to change.
02:12I just put wheels on my office.
02:14While we work out the details, Officer Nolan will be riding with me to help facilitate the transition.
02:19Any questions?
02:21Can I pick a playlist?
02:24It's a dumb question.
02:25All right, second 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, I have some updates from the night shift.
02:41This missing person's really that bad.
02:44Detective Desmond has a reputation.
02:46Like a 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 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.
03:04Uh, with that commute, you'd never see me again.
03:07Well, in my dream, I also work in Malibu.
03:10Of a robot helicopter that flies the kids to school.
03:13And a pony.
03:13Well, sorry to kill another one of your dreams, but I already reached out to my old landlord.
03:17And 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. He is solid.
03:27That might be an issue. Cosgrove just quit. I gotta go.
03:30Good luck.
03:32Wesley, so good to see you.
03:33Yeah, right.
03:35I'm serious. No hard feelings on my aunt.
03:37Yeah, because you destroyed me.
03:38Well, exactly. I made good on the promise I made you when you threw your hat in the ring.
03:41It's nothing personal. In fact, I agree with you on a lot of the issues.
03:44And I know that together we can take the DA's office in a positive direction.
03:48Mm-hmm. Mm-hmm.
03:50You're not gonna fall for that, are you?
03:52No. I was about to hand in my resignation letter.
03:55Well, she won't accept it. With 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. That should have been me facing Vivian. You were handed a poison chalice.
04:13I drank from it willingly.
04:14Sure.
04:15How's Logan?
04:16He's good.
04:17You know, he just got another chip. He's been clean now almost four months.
04:22That's great.
04:23Yeah.
04:23Uh, what about you? You gonna do the Rothwell and Pierce thing?
04:26No, I'm, uh, I'm gonna stay here.
04:30And you should, too.
04:31Mm.
04:31Come on, Wes. You joined this place to change the culture from within. To ensure that justice, not punishment, was
04:39our paramount virtue. Remember?
04:40It's a very inspirational message that just lost by 23 points. Look, Vivian ran on Tough on Crime. She's gonna
04:48deliver.
04:48Yeah, which is why the city needs people like us here, now more than ever. Look, we still can make
04:53a difference.
04:54Sean.
04:55You're here already. Let's work together one last time. If at the end of the day you still wanna quit,
04:59I won't stand any way.
05:01This job is where ambition goes to die.
05:05Wait, what?
05:06Missing persons. It's not a real department. It'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. Teenager just needed to blow off steam.
05:19A wife went on a bender, came home when she sobered up. Kid fell asleep playing hide-and-seek.
05:23Well, I've been on patrol for three years. I know most missing persons reports go nowhere, but there are people
05:30in this stack who are victims of real crimes.
05:32Crimes with their own departments, like trafficking or homicide.
05:36Sorry to interrupt. Homicide wants some graph case. Fisherman found the body, looks like murder.
05:42Rest in peace.
05:46Okay. Obviously, you know the job way better than I do, but it wouldn't hurt to look through the case
05:52files, 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.
06:10Well, don't get used to it. You'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 Fifth and Western. RP reports two shirtless men, sir.
06:21Ghost responding.
06:21You sure? Sounds like your basic alcohol-fueled slug vest.
06:25Yeah, I have to test response times and even the most basic of calls.
06:31The captain's calling. Bradford.
06:34Can you hold?
06:35Yeah, I'll hold.
06:40I'll be right there.
06:41I got this one.
06:44LAPD, you guys breaking up?
06:45Can you hold just a minute longer? Thanks.
06:47No, I'm at...
06:59Sorry to keep you waiting.
07:00Uh, no problem, sir.
07:01We're getting a lot of complaints about vagrants in Stoner Park.
07:05I've got to say renaming it would be a strong start.
07:08It's important that people feel safe in public places.
07:10Couldn't agree more. I'll have additional units in the area starting today.
07:13Okay, uh, is that it?
07:15One more thing.
07:16I just want to say your tireless commitment to justice and the people of this...
07:20Thank you, sir.
07:22Hey, hey, hey, hey.
07:24Good job, sir.
07:25You supervised the hell out of that.
07:27You're still here.
07:28And I think I found a workable case.
07:31Sadie Bell, 30, was reported missing last week, but according to her best friend Joe,
07:35Sadie never misses visitation with her kid on the first Tuesday of every month.
07:40Walk with me.
07:43Reporting party's address?
07:45Uh, 5206th Street.
07:47It's a homeless shelter.
07:48Joe is unhoused, meaning Sadie's unhoused.
07:50Not the most reliable bunch.
07:52On the other hand, sir, unhoused women are highly vulnerable to physical and sexual assaults.
07:57True, and they're also more likely to be substance abusers who miss things like supervised child visitations.
08:03I know, but I think it's worth investigating, so what's our first step?
08:07Why are you so gung-ho, Officer Morris?
08:09And don't just say the indefatigability of youth.
08:14Uh, my, uh, sister was abducted when I was a child, sir.
08:18I, uh, lived the fear of not knowing where a loved one is.
08:23Understandable.
08:24And quite noble.
08:25But I would caution you that the thousand files in my office are not an unending stack of potential happy
08:31endings.
08:31For the subset that are not just runaways or miscommunications.
08:36The endings are mostly heartbreaking.
08:42I haven't had a chance to review the reports, but it's at the top of my list.
08:46Okay, I appreciate the reminder.
08:50How did Graham make it look so easy?
08:51Oh, the scowl helped. Yeah.
08:54You don't want to bother that face with anything less than an absolute emergency.
08:57My scowl is legendary.
08:59It was, but then Lucy moved in.
09:03You know what? I take it back.
09:07Hey, Dash, everything all right?
09:09Hey, so, lesson for the future.
09:10Uh, if somebody asks you if you want to see a dead body, uh, say no.
09:15Dash, are you standing over a dead body?
09:18Yep.
09:22He's been here for at least a day.
09:23Won't know how long for sure until TID gets here and we turn him over.
09:27Kenneth Morris.
09:28K-Dog?
09:29For real?
09:31Uh, Kenny's my English teacher.
09:32Was my English teacher.
09:34Okay, so, uh, who found the body?
09:37Uh, Dakota.
09:38We're in fourth period together.
09:39But I didn't think it was real.
09:40She's always gossiping about something.
09:42Last week, she told me she was quitting school because she landed some influencer brand deal with Pop-Tarts.
09:48Turns out it was just a regional campaign.
09:49No offense, it just doesn't seem like, uh, Coastwood is your scene.
09:53Oh, it's not.
09:54Uh, but my mom said I needed a strong senior year in order to get into a good college.
09:58So, she landed an office job here.
10:00That way I get a major break on tuition.
10:02Dad, not in the picture?
10:03No, he kind of lurks in the background like the Babadook, specializing in bad decisions and hot cougars.
10:09Right.
10:10Uh, so you said Dakota found the body originally?
10:13Uh, no, Dakota said CJ told her about it, who heard about it from Ilya and Autumn, who might have
10:18heard about it from somebody else.
10:20So, how many teenagers came out to the woods, saw a dead body, and did nothing about it except tell
10:26their friends?
10:27Unknown.
10:28But I bet they all took selfies with it.
10:29I'm starving.
10:31Can we order green juice or something?
10:33Your intermittent fest doesn't end until one. We can talk after that.
10:36No one is asking you to spy on your friends.
10:39No, we have hidden surveillance set up to capture candid conversations.
10:43Tight.
10:43Uh, but they're not my friends.
10:45No.
10:46How's my hair?
10:48Fine.
10:48Who were you trying to impress?
10:50No one, Autumn.
10:55She's pretty.
10:56It's like saying that the hanging gardens of Babylon were cool instead of a feat of unparalleled engineering that redefined
11:02elegance and beauty in the ancient world.
11:05But I'm a little biased.
11:06Clearly.
11:08She nice.
11:09Hey Dash, do you want to come to my premiere tonight?
11:12Uh, yeah, totally. I would love to.
11:14No, wait.
11:15My publicist said we already did our charity work for the year, so you're out of luck.
11:19Sorry.
11:22What are you premiering?
11:23The new LaPorte film.
11:24It's already getting Oscar buzz.
11:25Oh.
11:26Who do you play in the movie?
11:27Young Attic No. 2.
11:28No lines, but my featured reactions really carry the film.
11:32Oh, by the way, I have a hard-out at three glam squads coming to my house.
11:36Well, we'll try to get you out in time for the full-face shellacking.
11:40Do you have a parent or guardian with you?
11:41Oh.
11:43No, thank you.
11:44I was legally emancipated when I was 13, so I could, um, work adult hours on set.
11:50I don't need them here.
11:51Great.
11:52Let's interview you first.
11:53Awesome.
11:55Please tell me Jack won't be going there.
11:57It's not definite, but Jack's preschool is the feeder school for Coastwood.
12:02It would be an easy transition.
12:05Logistically, maybe, but emotionally, won't you die a little?
12:08Yes.
12:10But L.A. elementary schools are more competitive than Stanford, and having an easy path would
12:14save hundreds of hours of stress.
12:16Yeah, but then he'd be going to school with kids like these.
12:19That's where it falls apart.
12:20And what can you tell me about Morris?
12:23Oh, Kenny was such a sweetie.
12:24Even when I had to miss a lot of class last year, he was so chill about it.
12:28Why did you have to miss school?
12:29I was doing this indie project.
12:31We were supposed to premiere at Sundance, but then the director had all these, like, harassment
12:36allegations or whatever and got basically blackballed.
12:38And now my career has to suffer.
12:40Like, did Kenneth have any disagreements with other teachers, faculty?
12:44No.
12:45I really can't imagine anyone wanting to hurt Ken-Ken.
12:48It wasn't traditionally attractive, sure, but that's no reason to be murdered.
12:52Right?
12:54Can I vape in here?
12:55I have a note from my therapist.
12:57He does.
12:58I have it right here.
12:59No.
13:00Who first told you about the body in the woods?
13:03It was Sushi Tuesday, so I was pretty laser-focused on whether I wanted ahi or uni.
13:09I think I ended up getting both.
13:11Let's focus here.
13:13Where did you hear about the body?
13:15Well, I remember Autumn mentioning something earlier in the day when she was talking to Ilya.
13:21But Ilya said he had heard it from...
13:23Zoe.
13:23I-I guess she originally saw something about it in a DM from Lynette when she was going through CJ's
13:28phone.
13:29And given what happened on the school trip last year, it is super sketchy that he was DMing Lynette.
13:36Backup.
13:36Where do we think the rumor started?
13:38Nowhere.
13:39Like, everywhere.
13:40How are we further from figuring this out than when we started?
13:43I call for backup.
13:44Hi again.
13:45Thank God.
13:46Normal teenager.
13:47No offense, it's just your classmates tend to be...
13:51Overwhelmed by their own champagne problems.
13:53I get it.
13:54My dysfunction is a little bit more proletariat.
13:56Yes, that's one way to put it.
13:58Yeah, I don't really hang out with them much outside of school.
14:00And that's not just because I didn't make Forbes 20 under 20, but it's definitely a factor.
14:04Well, we're not done with the interviews yet, but so far no one we have talked to has said they're
14:09the one who started the rumor.
14:10They all claim to have heard it from someone else.
14:12Right.
14:12So, Reese heard about it from CJ, who heard about it from Zoe, who saw it in a DM from,
14:18um...
14:19You said that Reese heard about it from CJ?
14:20That's what she told us.
14:22Uh, that doesn't make any sense.
14:23They got in a huge fight last week about, you know, whether or not sending nudes to other people counts
14:27as cheating.
14:28They haven't spoken to each other since, and word in the halls is that Zoe and CJ are the new
14:32it couple.
14:32Oh my God, yes.
14:33I was totally picking up on that vibe, but I saw that Zoe wasn't following CJ on Instagram, so I
14:38put it from my head.
14:39But when I double back to check, it looks like she does follow him, but only with her Finsta.
14:43With her Finsta.
14:44Yeah.
14:46Okay, this is, this is actually all starting to make sense.
14:49It is.
14:49Um, so Lynette and Emma, they went to the bathroom to do a fit check for their joint Instagram account.
14:55And Lynette said that she hears somebody crying in one of the stalls, and she says that it's Reese because
15:01she recognizes her leather tabbies.
15:02Travis tells Paul in the parking lot that he heard about a dead body from some bitch in first period.
15:09And who does he have first period with? Reese.
15:13And Dash heard about the body from Dakota, who is Reese's second best friend.
15:17But she has been fighting for that number one spot.
15:21So, I mean, she would do anything that Reese says.
15:24So if Reese told Dakota to lie about where she heard about the body?
15:28This is all coming back to Reese.
15:30Okay, so is Reese's witness zero?
15:33Or is she the killer?
15:36Sadie!
15:43Yeah.
15:45Okay.
15:48You know, the night Sadie went missing, it was pouring rain and the shelter was full.
15:52So I'm thinking she called in here to stay dry and got trapped.
15:57A couple months ago I found a bunch of guys living it up in an access tunnel.
16:02Electricity, Wi-Fi, the whole thing.
16:05They had the right idea.
16:07But you also have electricity and Wi-Fi.
16:09Yeah, but I have to pay for it.
16:11Right.
16:13You know, one of those gays, if they locked behind her, she could be trapped or too injured to crawl
16:17out.
16:18Yeah, but at this point she's probably dead from dehydration.
16:22Wait, what?
16:26Sadie!
16:27If you can hear me, make a sound!
16:32God!
16:41Desmond!
16:41Where are you?
16:42I'm inside a service tunnel looking for Sadie.
16:44I called the shelter.
16:45She showed up this morning.
16:46You're kidding.
16:47Well, why didn't they call us?
16:48They never do.
16:49So she was fine this whole time?
16:51Yeah, it turns out that her friend had the visitation day wrong.
16:54But hey, cheer up.
16:56At least you only wasted your own time.
17:02I am so sorry.
17:15Oh, hey, Selina.
17:18Hey, I heard about the missing person who wasn't missing.
17:21Already.
17:22I just got back.
17:23Smitty was with you.
17:24Right.
17:25Oh, I'm gonna owe a lot of favors after dragging the cavalry through the sewers.
17:29Okay, first of all, do not refer to any group that includes Smitty as the cavalry in second.
17:34Those guys will forgive you.
17:35Or, you know, somebody else will screw up way worse and then they'll be focused on that.
17:39Well, I'm kidding.
17:40Hey.
17:41One misstep does not change the fact that your instincts here are legendary.
17:45So just take a second to wallow in this, but then get cleaned up and get back out there, yeah?
17:49Yeah.
17:57Oh, you're too kind.
17:59Yes, I'm really looking forward to working with you as well, Madam Mayor.
18:02Okay, bye-bye.
18:04Sorry.
18:05Been so busy.
18:06Um, before I make the big move upstairs, I wanted to get our house in order.
18:10A little bit, clear the deck.
18:11So, we have 27 felony arrests, waiting prosecution.
18:16We just do not have the manpower.
18:18Take them all to trial.
18:19Why?
18:20Did you lose some ADAs or something?
18:23There's been turnover, yes.
18:25So I've got plea deals approved for all these cases and I need you both to get them signed ASAP.
18:30Murder, too?
18:32This guy robbed a convenience store and the clerk had a heart attack.
18:34That is felony manslaughter at best.
18:36And the teen who pegged his principal with a football is assault with a deadly weapon?
18:40Did the DA sign off on these?
18:41I pointed to the significant mandate voters handed me and he agreed.
18:45Well, their lawyers are not going to agree to these terms.
18:48So...
18:48Make them agree.
19:00Apple Pruitt.
19:01She lives in my building.
19:03Her mother reported her missing a month ago when she didn't return from Coachella.
19:07Every year we get a spike during imports after Coachella.
19:10This is one time this guy disassociated so hard he reported himself missing.
19:14No, but this one's weird.
19:16Apple has a strong social media presence but didn't post anything about what happened this year.
19:21There was a massive dust storm.
19:23They canceled day two at the Sahara tent.
19:25I mean, everyone was posting about it.
19:26It's not exactly a smoking gun.
19:28Okay, listen.
19:29I know how this sounds but something is telling me to investigate.
19:33I see what's going on.
19:35You said she lives in your building?
19:36Mm-hmm.
19:37Classic move.
19:38Okay.
19:39You take a case near your house so you can investigate it from your living room.
19:43When the shift ends, you're just a few steps from your futon.
19:45I'm not trying to go home early.
19:48That's too bad.
19:50I thought you were finally catching on.
19:54There's no obvious connection between Reese and Mr. Morris.
19:57He did tutor her every week but he tutored a lot of the kids.
20:00Yeah, and his Venmo transactions show that he was pulling down six figures on top of his salary.
20:05Why is tutoring in quotes?
20:07And one of the parents added a winky face emoji.
20:13Every student who paid for tutoring got an A.
20:15The only kid who was struggling was Dash.
20:17Yeah, his mom was barely scraping tuition together.
20:20They couldn't afford anything extra.
20:22Okay, so the parents are paying for grades so the kids get into a better college.
20:26But, I mean, why kill him?
20:28Maybe he couldn't deliver.
20:29If I spent that kind of money and my kid didn't get into their dream school, I'd be pissed.
20:36Reese, have you decided what college you're going to?
20:38Um, I think I may be taking a gap year.
20:42From your social media accounts, it seems like you're all about Yale.
20:46Yeah, it was kind of my mom's thing.
20:47But you did apply.
20:49Yeah, I applied to lots of places but I didn't get in, so.
20:55Was your mom upset?
20:57Yeah, I guess.
20:59Reese, we know it was you who started the rumor.
21:02No, I heard it from CJ.
21:03We know that's not true.
21:06But you did tell Dakota and Travis and Lynette.
21:10You know what that tells me?
21:13You wanted someone to know.
21:16You wanted the police to know but you just didn't want to be the one to call.
21:20It didn't seem right that he was just lying out there.
21:24How do you know he'd been killed?
21:29I stayed late on Tuesday.
21:31My mom wanted to talk to Mr. Morris.
21:34She was so angry about Yale.
21:37She was yelling at him and he wanted to talk somewhere private.
21:40So they went out back behind the school.
21:44I waited and waited and finally my mom came back.
21:50Just her.
21:52Not him.
21:54And her hands were...
21:57She wouldn't talk about it but I...
22:00I knew she did something.
22:04I didn't want any of this to happen.
22:06I don't even care about college.
22:14Well, at least I know why I was failing in the class.
22:17Your mom wasn't bribing the teacher.
22:18Yeah.
22:19Then I never did any homework.
22:22Ah, listen.
22:22Your mom is stuck at school.
22:24Things are about as hectic over there as you can imagine.
22:25So your dad's gonna come take you home.
22:28Is that right?
22:29Yeah, it's fine.
22:31He...
22:31Shows up every six to eight months to remind everybody
22:34where my mom got sole custody.
22:35I'm telling you.
22:36You cannot lose.
22:37You would be a fool not to invest.
22:39Hit me up on socials.
22:40I will tell you more about it, okay?
22:42Hey!
22:42This is my guy.
22:44How you doing?
22:45Come on.
22:45I still haven't had that grocery yet, huh?
22:47I'm pacing myself.
22:48Hey, sorry I haven't been around much.
22:49Been, uh, working crazy hours.
22:51Um, but good news.
22:52Tiger Bear has one more investor signed on
22:54with a non-binding verbal agreement.
22:56Tiger Bear?
22:57It's a soup.
22:58It's a breakfast soup.
22:59Dash, come on.
23:00No.
23:00That was the last one.
23:01Tiger Bear Whiskey Tequila's the whiskey-less startup.
23:04It's gonna be huge.
23:05You should get in on the grand floor, champ.
23:07I'm telling you, an investment of 10 grand
23:09will triple by the end of the year, guaranteed.
23:11You do know your son found one of his teachers
23:13dead behind the school gym today.
23:15Damn it!
23:18Sorry, sorry.
23:19Uh, okay, uh...
23:20Keep going.
23:20Uh, so Dash was working out and, uh...
23:22Just take me home.
23:24Will they have to excavate the passenger seat
23:25for parking tickets again, or...?
23:27He's joking.
23:28I am a model citizen.
23:29Don't say that.
23:33Dash.
23:35I'm around if you need me.
23:37So we gotta stop by my place first,
23:38but we'll make it a pro-out.
23:39You know?
23:40Or some Zah.
23:40We'll watch last week's UFC.
23:42No problem?
23:44Just the universal unfairness of the world.
23:46Nothing actionable.
23:51Thanks for coming in.
23:52This is a plea deal.
23:53And before you ask,
23:54it's the best deal your client's gonna get.
23:56I know.
23:56Murder, too.
23:57It seems excessive.
23:58I mean, all you did was rob a convenience store.
24:00It wasn't your fault that the clerk had a heart attack.
24:04The man had end-stage heart disease.
24:05Now, a jury could see that as extenuating circumstances.
24:09I mean, if the jury was blind,
24:12maybe they'd see that as a gang tattoo.
24:14But I don't have to risk that possibility
24:15if you just say yes to the plea.
24:17I mean, who cares there's no precedent
24:18for a felony prosecution this severe?
24:20So what if our only witness has been charged
24:22with perjury and false accusations in two other cases?
24:26I mean, if you think you could do better at trial,
24:28you just push that plea deal right back at me.
24:52The music is nowhere near too loud.
24:55I'm Officer Juarez with LAPD.
24:57Yeah, I'm following your roommate, Apple Pruitt's case.
24:59Yeah, she hasn't come home, right?
25:01No. No, I'm-I'm very sick.
25:05Do you mind if I come inside?
25:07Sure. Yeah, of course.
25:14I've actually been boxing up Apple's things all day.
25:17It's officially 30 days tomorrow.
25:19I just-I need someone else in here
25:21to help me with this crazy rent.
25:23Not that Apple is great about paying.
25:26She doesn't believe in money or monogamy or cleaning.
25:31She sounds like a lot.
25:33Oh, I mean, don't get me wrong. She was-is.
25:36Um, one of my favorite people.
25:39Just not the greatest at cohabitation.
25:41Right.
25:41Okay.
25:42And the last time you saw her was right before she left for Coachella?
25:46She left going, even though she had her issues before.
25:50I mean, bad drugs and aggressive guys.
25:52She definitely had some scares.
25:55And you think that's what happened to her?
25:57I-I don't know.
25:58Um, I mean, I-I'm just trying to be helpful.
26:03But I'm desperate for you to find her.
26:06Do you mind if I take a look at her bedroom?
26:08Yeah, no problem.
26:09It's, uh, it's right over there.
26:37You're gonna be mad.
26:42Do you want me?
26:44I mean, she's doing aest and she's doing a good job.
26:45I don't need to-
26:46I don't need to-
26:53We're going to have you.
26:54A good job like that.
26:56It's not."
26:56I don't need to make a good job.
26:57but you don't need to go for business.
26:57I'm not going to be a bad job.
27:04I'm sorry, I'm sorry!
27:07It's not what you think!
27:55This is Officer Juarez, badge number 5-3-3-9-7.
27:57I'm code 4, with a possible 245 suspect, also suspected of an 187-cent backup.
28:03I need an R-A-T-I-D to my location.
28:08You don't understand.
28:10She was the worst roommate ever!
28:15I'm pretty sure you're the worst roommate ever.
28:20So, this is just temporary.
28:23But the money train is chugging into the station.
28:28Then I'm gonna be playing the how-many-square-feet-is-too-many-square-feet game.
28:32You want some?
28:33Uh, no thanks.
28:33I just shotgunned some gasoline.
28:35Oh.
28:44Oh, God.
28:45I had some serious stuff.
28:47Hey, um, so this fancy private school of yours...
28:50Where a teacher was just murdered?
28:52Really?
28:52How have you not been paying attention?
28:55Never mind.
28:56Of course you're out.
28:56All I'm saying is, you're in the perfect spot to help your dear old dad raise some cash money capital.
29:02I'm having supply issues in the Czech Republic.
29:04But they specialize in neither whiskey nor chicken.
29:06Okay, that is besides the point.
29:07Anyways, you would be helping out the family if I can get you to make a few introductions.
29:12If I say I'll think about it, will you take me home?
29:15Come on, what's the rush?
29:16Party's just getting started.
29:19Gus!
29:20I know you're in there.
29:21Open the damn door.
29:26We're gonna go out the window.
29:27No, we're not.
29:29I can hear you in there.
29:30Open the door or we kick it in.
29:32Okay, um, so a few of my friends are here.
29:36Um, you gotta go hide.
29:38Why would I hide from your friends?
29:40Just go, go.
29:41And don't come out.
29:42No matter what.
29:51Dash?
29:52I think I might be in some trouble.
29:57Fellas.
29:57Wait, wait, wait, wait.
29:58I'm sorry about the confusion.
30:00Your money, it's being transferred.
30:01It's just the act, you know?
30:02It takes a few days, so.
30:06Okay, where are you?
30:07Uh, closet.
30:09Dad's apartment.
30:10They're beating him up.
30:11I can get your money just one more day.
30:14Like, two times.
30:15Wait, wait, wait, wait, no.
30:16All right, stay hidden until we get there.
30:18I can't.
30:20They'll kill him.
30:21I have to do something.
30:23No, Dash.
30:24Dash, no.
30:29I don't know how you can get your money.
30:30What the hell is this?
30:31It's, uh, my neighbor.
30:32He waters my plants.
30:38You are such a liar.
30:39Although lying to protect your kid is almost noble,
30:42be ashamed if I have to break all his teeth,
30:45stump both his ends in a suit.
30:46Pass.
30:47And pass.
30:49How about we go with my plan instead?
30:51Rob a bunch of rich kids that go to my school?
30:53Who wants a Rolex?
30:58Better not be lying, kid.
31:00Your dad is out of free passes.
31:04Let's go.
31:11Dash would never knowingly put someone in danger.
31:13So we track down whether any school families are out of town.
31:17The Laporte premier.
31:18He's a pretentious auteur filmmaker.
31:20His new movie launches tonight.
31:22Autumn Harrington is in it.
31:23That's the girl that Dash has a crush on.
31:25Her address is in the system.
31:30Damn, who is this chick?
31:32Autumn?
31:33She's an up-and-coming IT girl.
31:35Her new project's getting Oscar buzz.
31:36Yeah?
31:38Well, let's hope she get paid in diamond bracelets.
31:40You know, stuff that's easy to pawn.
31:42Otherwise, you and your dad are going to find out
31:45what the landfill tastes like.
31:47Out.
31:53Stay with Gus until I give you the signal, all right?
31:58Man, for what it's worth,
31:59your dad is the biggest trainwrecker I ever met.
32:02My old man, he in prison.
32:04Trying to steal a FedEx plane with a tow truck.
32:06Well, if you're the ghost of my future self,
32:08I might just have to Virginia Woolf it.
32:11I don't know what that mean.
32:12She was arguably the most influential writer
32:14of the 20th century.
32:16Ended it all by walking into a river
32:18with rocks in her pockets.
32:22Nobody likes a comedian, kid.
32:24I'd argue, but the gun gives you
32:26the last word.
32:29Hey, if this is set up,
32:31I'm killing everybody.
32:32Got it?
32:33Yes, sir.
32:38You're not my agadashi tofu.
32:41You're not supposed to be here.
32:42Well, you caught me out of the movies
32:44when I wasn't on the list.
32:45Do you know how mortifying that...
32:48Who the hell are you?
32:49Hey, who else in the house?
32:50Nobody.
32:50Daddy, my parents are in Monaco.
32:53All right.
32:54Get over here.
32:54I don't want to.
32:56No problem.
32:57I'll just shoot you.
33:04Go dance.
33:05What?
33:05Why?
33:06Whoa.
33:07It's even bigger on the inside.
33:09See, this is the kind of place
33:10I'm going to get when I get paid.
33:11Hey, man, shut up!
33:13Stay down here with the idiot, all right?
33:14Steal anything that's shiny.
33:20Now, take me to your parents, Ruminate.
33:21Better have a boatload of watches and jury.
33:23Hey, hey.
33:23Whoa, whoa.
33:23Those whiskey bottles worth like 500 each.
33:25I'm just going to grab a couple.
33:27Show me.
33:28All right.
33:33How about this?
33:35The Merlot, really?
33:36No, dude, those two are worth way more.
33:47All right, all right.
34:21Hey, where's the jewelry?
34:23Closet.
34:25All right.
34:26All right.
34:26Come on.
34:27Hey, hey!
34:28Stay here!
34:39I cannot believe you brought them to my house.
34:41I panicked, OK?
34:42They were going to kill my dad.
34:44And besides, you weren't supposed to be here.
34:46I would never knowingly put you in danger.
34:48Because you have the huts for me.
34:50I have romantic intentions, yeah,
34:52but clearly you don't share them, so...
34:55It's not like you're not cute.
34:57You're just...
34:58Poor?
34:59Exactly.
35:05What are you doing?
35:06Looking for a gun.
35:08Oh, that's not a gun.
35:09Oh.
35:10Oh.
35:10Your parents are freaky.
35:11Hey, what the hell are you doing?
35:13Get away from there!
35:14Oh, no, sorry.
35:15Sorry.
35:18I'm never going to be able to look my parents in the eye again.
35:21Me neither.
35:23Hey, Andre wouldn't really hurt my kid, right?
35:25This is a scare tactic.
35:27I mean, I know I'm not a great dad, but I try, you know?
35:31When it's convenient for me.
35:33Like, I want to be better.
35:35Like, I really do.
35:35I think about it all the time.
35:38Well, not all the time.
35:40It's at the heart of the problem, really.
35:42I just got to be better.
35:43The kid deserves a role model,
35:45not the flaming hot mess I am on a daily basis.
35:50It feels really good to come clean about this, you know?
35:52It's kind of cathartic.
35:52Hey, Gah!
35:53When the hell did you get here?
35:55Where's Dash?
35:56Let's go.
35:57No, she's staying here.
35:58She hasn't seen your face, so you're in the clear.
36:00Just, just you can do whatever you want to be.
36:01Just let her go.
36:02Hey, man, you got balls, kid.
36:03Unlike your father, but she cannot stay here, all right?
36:06Let's go!
36:06There's a gold bar in that bedside table.
36:08Yeah, right.
36:09I'm serious.
36:10But if you want to leave it, like...
36:12All right, stay right here.
36:14Don't move.
36:20Get back.
36:22Drop it.
36:25Come on, get up.
36:28Hey, you okay?
36:30Physically.
36:32Yeah, give me this.
36:34Come here.
36:35Ow!
36:37Thanks.
36:38And thanks for trying to save me.
36:40Yeah, anytime.
36:42Oh, thank God.
36:45Although, I knew it was all going to be all right.
36:47Hey, um, maybe we don't tell your mom about this.
36:50You know, we just keep it a bro thing.
36:52Stop.
36:52Just stop.
36:54Everything that you do, everything that you say,
36:56is just so selfish, so toxic.
36:59You haven't done one fatherly thing for me in my entire life.
37:02All you care about is yourself, and I'm just sick of it.
37:06I'm done with you.
37:08Forever.
37:09What?
37:18So, we met with all 27 defendants.
37:21It's the craziest thing.
37:22We tried our hardest.
37:24None of them would accept a plea deal.
37:25Not a one.
37:26Well, I hope you've kept your weekends clear,
37:28because now you've got 27 trials you're going to need to prepare for.
37:31Hmm.
37:33About that.
37:35I quit.
37:36And I'd say best of luck, but I hope you fail.
37:39Spectacularly.
37:40Sorry, Sean.
37:41I just can't.
37:41No, no worries.
37:42I can't either.
37:45I quit, too.
37:46Ah.
37:47Hey, what do you think of the law firm of Del Monte and Evers?
37:49Well, you haven't worked a day in your life as a defense attorney.
37:52Evers and Del Monte.
37:54Turn to the right.
37:56Way ahead of you.
37:57Not my first radio.
37:58Well, we just need your clothes for evidence, and then, uh, for you to go.
38:04After everything that happened?
38:06The DA may still press charges, but it was pretty clear you were under duress.
38:11I really wanted this town to be different.
38:13I was going to buy a dash of car with the Tiger Bear money.
38:16I'd look to make up for lost time, you know?
38:19But he's right.
38:20I'd screw everything up.
38:22He's better off without me.
38:24Probably.
38:26I've had some experience with bad fathers, and the love the sons feel for them, no matter
38:32how many times they get their hearts broken.
38:34And unless you're willing to change, and I mean really change, the best thing you can
38:41do for Dash is just leave him the hell alone.
38:53What were you thinking?
38:56I'm fine.
38:57Thanks for asking.
38:58Do you know how close you were to becoming a missing person yourself?
39:01If she would have succeeded in killing you, how would I have known?
39:03First thing she'd do is destroy your phone.
39:05So when I pulled to your last known location, it would be your building.
39:09So to me and the world, you were home, and then you vanished.
39:13I see that now.
39:15It's just I figured I'd stop by and ask a few questions.
39:17We have protocols for a reason.
39:21Yes, sir.
39:23I let my best intentions obscure my judgment, proving I still have a lot to learn about this
39:29job.
39:30But if I can be so bold as to ask a favor...
39:38You can ask.
39:40I remain undaunted.
39:43So if a file comes across your desk that gives you a feeling, call me.
39:47I am happy to run down any lead I can for you, free of charge.
39:51I am happy to run down any lead I can.
39:52I made all these mistakes that I made of mine.
39:56Deal.
39:58And for what it's worth, I'm glad you're okay.
40:03I made all these mistakes that I made of mine.
40:18Your dad's gone, and your mom's on her way.
40:21Cool.
40:24You want to talk about anything?
40:27Uh, not really.
40:28I think I'm a little talked out for once.
40:32Understood.
40:36You know, at the risk of sounding overly earnest, you're a very special young man, despite or maybe even because
40:46of what your father's put you through.
40:48Now, I know you know that you're not him in any, any way, shape, or form, but I also know
40:55that family pain is emotional and not intellectual.
41:04I'm just trying to say, um, if you ever need a reminder of this conversation, you have my number.
41:12Thanks.
41:14And just to be clear, you're saying I can call you every morning at the crack of dawn just to
41:18tell me I'm awesome?
41:19No.
41:20Every other morning.
41:21Twice a week, final offer.
41:23I can live with that.
41:24If you can live with unlimited text, DMs, and social media shoutouts, just the calls.
41:31Okay.
41:33Smart man.
41:34Smart man.
41:39Smart man.
41:39Smart man.
