Short filmTranscript
00:11Good morning. Ready for a run?
00:13Yeah. Just let me hit the mouthwash.
00:19Selena told me you were living in your car, but she did not tell me how cool it was.
00:23Well, I wish it was a little less cool, a little bit more comfortable.
00:27I hear that. But at least you don't have a rodent problem.
00:29Last week, a rat tried to bum a cigarette off me while I was in the bathtub.
00:32I finally got the landlord to call in some guys for what he called an aggressive intervention,
00:36so Selena's letting me sleep over for a few days.
00:38Is, uh, Lucy okay with that?
00:41Yeah, totally. What?
00:42No, nothing. She's happy to have you. She just doesn't want it to be, like, a permanent thing.
00:47No way. I love my place. Or I will once my own houseguests are gone.
00:51Yeah, well, at this point, I'd be happy to share an apartment with a few critters if it came with
00:54indoor plumbing.
00:56Shall we?
00:56Go!
00:56My leg! Hey, nothing!
00:58Wait!
01:05Sorry, parking was a nightmare. I'm almost there.
01:08Oh, great. We're both running late. Fantastic first impression.
01:12I'm sure the social worker will understand.
01:14We're asking her to trust us with a baby. We need to be perfect.
01:18Oh, I-I's here. I gotta go.
01:20Bye.
01:32Oh, no.
01:33Ms. Greer! Hi. I am so sorry I'm late.
01:36Don't worry about it. Parking here is awful. One minute, I just need to respond to this email.
01:40Yes.
01:40It's always something.
01:42Ms. Greer, so nice to see you. I am so sorry that we're late.
01:47Of course. Thank you for meeting me here. It is such a nice day. I figured we could sit outside.
01:51No. No, my allergies are just very-
01:56Do you mind if we sit inside?
01:58Uh, sure. I guess. Um, whatever makes you comfortable.
02:01Thanks.
02:02Hey. What's wrong with you?
02:06Oh. Oh, God.
02:08This place has the best muffins.
02:10I love muffins. Can you show me?
02:13Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, I'm gonna win for you like I know you want
02:19me to dream.
02:21So, the good news is, we are now up to two dozen members, and we are branching out.
02:27So, uh, Leonard in West L.A., Singer in Southwest,
02:30and Thorson up in North Hollywood
02:32are all putting together a list of cops
02:34who they believe would be able to take a stand
02:36for police reform.
02:38Are there any rumors about pushback?
02:40Not yet. So far, we've managed to stay under the radar,
02:43but it won't last.
02:44After the pressure campaign will start,
02:45they'll accuse us of being woke and betraying the badge.
02:47Any possibility that that's already started?
02:50And that the billboard calling me out for being a dirty cop
02:52is the pushback trying to undercut us before we get started?
02:56Well, billboards are not cheap,
02:57and most likely they would come after all of us.
03:00Whoever did this billboard seems like they hate only you.
03:03Who would hate me?
03:04Dozens of people currently sitting in prison.
03:06Fair enough.
03:07And there's no way that we can just get the billboard taken down?
03:10I mean...
03:10I mean, it's not technically liable.
03:12They're just asking a question.
03:14Yeah. A question that's gonna keep us from adopting.
03:22So, your first solo ride. Are you nervous?
03:24No, looking forward to it, actually.
03:26Hey, there's a certain freedom that comes with making all my own decisions.
03:30Good. You're gonna do great.
03:31And we're all just a radio call away.
03:32I'm just a call away for you, too.
03:36Everything okay?
03:38Uh...
03:38Luna got Rachel an interview at the hospital,
03:41but she didn't show up.
03:43That's not like Rachel.
03:44I mean, it didn't used to be, but now I...
03:47I don't know.
03:47I feel like something has been off ever since New York.
03:50Look, I'm sure she'd talk to you if something was wrong.
03:52I'm not sure she would.
03:53I mean, as soon as she moved out,
03:55it just feels like she's been avoiding me.
03:57Do you think maybe we should talk to her?
03:59I mean, that sounds more like a best friend situation
04:02than an ex-boyfriend situation.
04:04Oh, thanks for the support.
04:05Yeah. Anytime.
04:06Let's go, Boop.
04:08Would you care for my two cents?
04:10Yes, always.
04:11If she's going through something,
04:13knowing someone cares might be exactly what she needs.
04:25Hi.
04:26Hi.
04:27I totally forgot to tell you,
04:28the cable guy is coming to fix the Wi-Fi today.
04:31Could you let him in?
04:31Yeah, of course.
04:32All I'm doing today is finishing up this song
04:34about this super sexy girl who...
04:37Oh, that thought.
04:37I gotta arrest the guy.
04:39I'm sorry.
04:40You were saying something about a sexy girl who...
04:44It was gonna be about how she lights up the room
04:46with her beautiful smile.
04:48Now it's about how she wields her fists of fury.
04:50Oh, hold that thought.
04:52Why can I be both?
04:54You know, a girl that can light up a room
04:55and also kick butt.
04:57Oh, that you can.
04:58Listen, I want to make a demo of this,
05:00but I don't have any of my gear.
05:01Is it okay if I bring over some of my sound system from home?
05:03A sound system?
05:05That sounds like a whole thing.
05:06No, it's totally non-invasive, I promise.
05:08Oh, boy. I gotta go.
05:16Are you showing off?
05:17No, sir. I just got lucky.
05:19Well, keep it up.
05:20Yes, sir.
05:26Eyes up, boo.
05:28Sorry, sir.
05:29I just had a momentary weakening of spirit.
05:33I was looking at apartments,
05:34hoping they had magically gotten cheap.
05:36I thought you were going to hold off
05:37until after you graduated from the FTO program.
05:39Oh, yes, sir.
05:40My nana always said you can't get lard
05:42unless you ball the hog.
05:45Meaning you got to do the hard work to get what you want.
05:47If I spend the next year saving money,
05:50I should be able to afford a decent place.
05:52That's admirable.
05:53Too many people these days subscribe
05:55to the treat-yourself school of self-care.
05:57As opposed to the monastic life you live?
06:01No disrespect intended.
06:03I aspire to the level of discipline you consider.
06:05Boo, stop while you're behind.
06:07Yes, sir.
06:22Just call her.
06:24You're right.
06:30Hey, how are you?
06:31Hey, I'm good.
06:33Um, I heard that you missed your interview
06:35at the hospital this morning.
06:37Are you okay?
06:38That was so embarrassing.
06:39They sent out a Gmail after I scheduled the interview,
06:42but I used Outlook.
06:44The wires must have gotten crossed,
06:45and it landed on the wrong date.
06:46Oh, okay.
06:48Well, I bet you Luna would appreciate a call.
06:50Absolutely, on it.
06:51I should go.
06:52Crazy day.
06:54Oh.
06:55That was weird.
06:57She was weird, right?
06:59I don't know her well enough to answer that,
07:02but it did seem a little over-explaining
07:03with a side order of forced cheerfulness.
07:06Exactly.
07:11Control, we have a 23103 headed north on Benedict Canyon.
07:21Expired plates.
07:25Belongs to a big ganache.
07:27It's clear and valid.
07:28All right.
07:29Let's check it out.
07:35Ah!
07:52Hey, fill us in.
07:53The victim's name is Viggo Nash.
07:55He's a Las Vegas native.
07:56Moved to Boyle Heights with his wife Sadie about a year ago.
07:59Any idea what he was doing in this neighborhood?
08:01No, but he does have a record in Vegas.
08:03Several misdemeanors and one armed robbery.
08:05But nothing since he moved to L.A.
08:06Nothing that we know of.
08:08Any look on the bike?
08:09No, it's a red Ducati 1198.
08:12No plates.
08:12We've got a boulevard.
08:13I sent Waters to put eyes on the victim's house and tell Nolan and Chank make the death
08:16notification.
08:17All right.
08:17Go.
08:18Go.
08:18I will reach out to Vegas PD and see if they can give us any context on our victim.
08:25Hey, officer.
08:26What's going on?
08:27Hold up!
08:30Pim?
08:31Is that you?
08:32AJ?
08:34AJ, how you doing, man?
08:35It's been a minute.
08:37It sure has.
08:38Man, look at you rocking that L.A.P. the uniform.
08:40Look at me.
08:41Look at you.
08:42Word on the street is you taking the Chargers all the way to the Super Bowl.
08:46Yeah, man.
08:46It's a great team.
08:47A lot of talent on that field, man.
08:48But hey, I got some folks stopping by the house later tonight.
08:51You should come by.
08:52I mean, unless you got to work.
08:53My shift ends at 6, but then I'm free.
08:55Love that.
08:56All right, man.
08:57It's good seeing you.
08:58Yeah, man.
09:11Is that AJ Knox?
09:13Yes, sir.
09:14I take it.
09:15You a fan?
09:16I mean, I've only watched every snap he's taken with the Chargers.
09:18He's the reason you guys won that college championship.
09:20Oh, don't I know it?
09:21AJ's got a golden on.
09:23And a $100 million contract.
09:26And he's driving my dream car.
09:27Stings a little?
09:28Nah.
09:29Nah, I'm good.
09:30I'm saving lives, and he's playing the game.
09:41Hey, this isn't a good time.
09:43Just a quick question.
09:44Is it okay if I flip the couch around just temporarily?
09:46Uh, I guess so.
09:48But why?
09:49I'm not getting the full perceptual nuance I need.
09:53Oh, my God.
09:55Is that my living room?
09:56What?
09:57I thought you said it was non-invasive.
09:59Why are the speakers so huge?
10:01I'm so glad you asked.
10:02It's because bigger speakers are more sensitive than smaller ones.
10:04Once they suppress less of a mid-range treble, you get more of an even frequency response.
10:09Mmm.
10:09Get them out.
10:10Before Lucy gets home, they better be gone.
10:13Okay, but you're missing out on a truly satisfying aural experience.
10:17Whatever.
10:18Wait, did the cable guy ever come fix the Wi-Fi?
10:20Yeah.
10:21He was useless.
10:22I told him I'd handle it.
10:23And did you?
10:25No.
10:26But I will.
10:29That's the bike.
10:31I gotta go.
10:32What?
10:44Control 7 Lincoln 13.
10:46I need a couple more units for an ATL.
10:48I have the suspect motorcycle on the 246 located at the victim's house.
10:53Copy.
10:54Attaching units for an attempt to locate on the 246 suspect.
11:017 Adam 15 is five minutes out.
11:03They are advising you wait to enter.
11:06Negative control.
11:07Signs of distress coming from inside.
11:08I'm making entry.
11:10Please alert responding units.
11:18Police.
11:19Police.
11:20I'm in the house.
11:22Come out and your hands better be empty.
11:482005.

12:32backup
12:33police put your hands up do it now
12:38we're late
12:51control our 187 suspect fled the scene after trying to kill us with a grenade
12:55black pass by jacket striped helmet mobilize airship and backup you okay
12:59no i'm pissed off it's not in our job description to be dodging grenades
13:03are you okay
13:12thank you
13:14nice work disabled in the motorcycle thank you uh she's stable and they're taking her
13:19to saint stephen did she identify her attacker no she wasn't conscious he was clearly torturing
13:24her so the bike is registered to mac wheeler known associate of vigo nash they've pulled
13:29a number of jobs together over the years guess that a falling out mac threw a grenade at vigo
13:33why not take out the wife the same way maybe vigo was a rush job because we pulled him over
13:38maybe he's worried about what he'll say to the cops
13:40seems likely
13:42nolan
13:50well it's for reference and the group chat
13:58all right thanks the wife is in bad shape traumatic brain injury broken facial bones and a ruptured
14:06so i don't want to explain she won't be able to talk anytime soon i'm going to double the security
14:10detail when she's out of surgery good call
14:16i know that is not what i think it is
14:21and why would they use that picture this was more fun when it was just nolan
14:29well this is good news i failed to see how okay nolan's bus ad crosses the line fun fact it
14:37was
14:37meant to be a question mark but the printer screwed up and put a period instead which is
14:41great for us because it states that his alleged corruption is a fact rather than a question a fact
14:47that is provably untrue and because you're a public officer is libel slander and defamation of
14:53character you have been investigated by ia and exonerate which is the important part the
14:59preponderance of evidence is heavily in your favor okay what about us ours is just a question
15:04yeah yours uh is is trickier meaning there's nothing you can do for now but it does say something about
15:10who's behind this right if it's a criminal it's someone all three of us put away i'll start
15:15putting together a list i'll subpoena the the advertising company see who paid for them

18:57hand it off to this beast again you remember miles penn my old college running back
19:04now he's a big time cop here in la of course we did a whole story on the untimely end

20:25probably going to ask about when i drowned in that tank but i'm sorry what tank uh you know that
20:34was
20:34that sounds far more dramatic than it was maybe it would be quicker to talk about the work days you

25:25the agency's concerns and we hire a lawyer the way adoptions work today the birth mother would still
25:32have to pick us you know over all the other candidates who don't risk their lives every day

34:12uh
34:12uh
34:12uh
34:12uh
34:12uh
34:39Damn, son.
34:40You didn't learn that on the football field.
34:47Don't move.
34:49Slowly place your weapons on the ground.
34:54Delace your fingers on your heads and step down to me.
35:00Turn around.
35:06You don't have a grenade hidden on you anywhere, do you?
35:09Well, not the judge.
35:11Sounds like poor planning.
35:17You did all right today.
35:20Thanks.
35:22What?
35:24Nothing.
35:26Come on, man. Spill it.
35:30AJ offered me a job, private security, twice a salary as LAPD.
35:37What'd you say?
35:38I haven't given him an answer yet, but I'm thinking about it.
35:41It's a sweet life.
35:43Sleeping in mansions, flying on private jets.
35:47I mean, it beats watching Smitty do Tai Chi in his undies every morning.
35:52You disagree?
35:55You go with AJ, you'd be a gopher, personal assistant, paid friend.
36:01The life you wanted that AJ has, that wouldn't be yours.
36:05It'd be his.
36:07And it would eat you up inside once you realized it.
36:10With all due respect, sir, half the time I feel like I'm your gopher.
36:14Except you don't have hot girls around you 24-7, and I live in my car.
36:20All right, man.
36:21You really gonna make me say it out loud?
36:24Say what?
36:25You're a good cop, Texas.
36:28Or at least, you will be when I'm done with you.
36:32Look, when you blew out your knee, you could've grabbed on the AJ's coattails then, but you didn't.
36:37You wanted to be your own man.
36:39Right?
36:40So don't go wasting all that talent taking the easy road.
36:44I swear, if the scouts came to my high school, I could've gone pro.
36:49I could throw the ball over Mount Baldy.
36:52Where'd you go to school that scouts couldn't reach you?
36:54Exactly.
36:57Who was that guy?
36:58A nuisance.
37:00Thanks for the threads.
37:01I'll wash them before I give them back to you.
37:03Nah, I got plenty.
37:05Have you thought more about my offer?
37:06I need you on my team.
37:11I'm gonna have to decline.
37:15You saying no?
37:17For real?
37:19The football life is, uh...
37:23It's your calling.
37:25My calling is here.
37:30I'm glad you found your place.
37:32If you ever need anything from me, it's yours.
37:37I mean, how about season tickets?
37:41For both of us.
37:44Done.
37:51That's a good decision.
37:54Now go finish up that paperwork so we can be scored away for tomorrow.
37:56Get in early.
37:57Get the shop set up.
37:58We're 10-8 right after roll call.
37:59Yes, sir.
38:06Hey, Nola.
38:07I got some great news for you.
38:08Fantastic.
38:08I could use a win.
38:10Is everything okay?
38:11No, I'm fine.
38:12Ignore me.
38:12Go ahead.
38:13The billboards are no more.
38:14You're kidding.
38:14They're gone.
38:15Yeah.
38:16The billboard company feared a defamation suit, so they threw the buyer under the bus immediately.
38:19Who was it?
38:21It's a complicated tangle of accounts, all leading back to Liam Glasser.
38:26Serial killer Liam Glasser is the billboard man?
38:30Well, his trial's coming up.
38:31He's trying to taint the jury pool, which is super illegal.
38:34Not a bad plan, though.
38:35Make the prime witnesses against you look corrupt.
38:38How'd he do it from prison, though?
38:39I bet money his lawyer's in on it.
38:41And if he is, I'm gonna get his ass to spark.
38:46Hey, thanks for coming to find me last night, this morning, whenever that happened.
38:53Of course.
38:54How's your hangover?
38:56Emic.
38:56Yeah.
38:59Look, Rachel, I can't help but feel like something's going on.
39:03I'm here for you.
39:04I mean, you don't have to talk to me, of course.
39:07Um, but maybe you should talk to somebody.
39:11I know.
39:13Yeah.
39:15My, uh, dad died.
39:18A few months ago.
39:20I was state cancer.
39:21Oh, my God.
39:23I'm so sorry, I don't know.
39:26I didn't tell anyone.
39:27I couldn't talk about it.
39:29Living it was hard enough.
39:32I was with him constantly.
39:34First in the hospital and then in hospice.
39:38Every day was so awful and draining and...
39:43I couldn't stop thinking about everything he was going through.
39:47I didn't want to be alone, but I didn't want to talk about it.
39:52And strangers don't ask me how I'm doing.
39:54The clubs or parties, I can just stop thinking and be someone else.
40:02Someone who's not sad all the time.
40:07Thank you so much.
40:11You were going to get through this.
40:13And I'm here for you.
40:15Whatever you need.
40:17I'm sorry.
40:22Welcome home.
40:24I took a nap in case tonight's going to be as much fun as last night.
40:28Oh, okay, I wouldn't exactly call that fun.
40:31Wow, that smells amazing.
40:34I did a couple semesters at a culinary school before I devoted myself to music full time.
40:39Lucky me.
40:42Listen, these last couple of days have been great.
40:46But you're kicking me out.
40:46No, it's just, yes.
40:48But not because you did anything wrong.
40:50It's just too soon for us.
40:52You know, we just started dating and we have to build up to living together.
40:55You know, new relationships need the space between.
40:58New album title, I called it.
41:00It's fine.
41:01Rat Squad finished up at my place today.
41:03It's safe for me to return.
41:03I bet those giant speakers really miss you.
41:06Mock me all you want.
41:08Once you've heard Burden in my hand on a vintage Technics SL-1200 turntable through Sansui SPG-300 speakers, you
41:15will never be the same.
41:16I'll take your word for it.
41:21Ah, hello.
41:22Hey.
41:25Ah.
41:27What is this?
41:28A spontaneous Laguna Beach getaway.
41:31You and me a couple of dinks.
41:34Excuse me?
41:35Duel income, no kids.
41:36Oh.
41:37Is this, uh, is this your way of looking at the bright side?
41:41It is.
41:42I also think we should volunteer.
41:45James said he'd help us find the perfect program.
41:47I think that is a wonderful idea.
41:53So, no more grenades?
41:55Just the one I'm about to set off in the bedroom with you.
42:00You happy with the way that came out?
42:02No, but you're gonna be happy with how I know that's not gonna work either.
42:08You wanna go have sex or you wanna keep trying?
42:10On one hand, I'm no quitter.
42:12On the other hand.
42:14No.
42:54Damn it.
