Transcript

00:00:00You live inside my heart, brown eyes in the line of fire.

00:00:08I get worried when you're gone too long.

00:00:13Sorry, did you say something?

00:00:15No, you just were making a face.

00:00:18Everything all right?

00:00:19Yeah, yeah, totally.

00:00:20It's just, um, well, Raj wrote a new song about me.

00:00:24I mean, he's so talented and it's so beautiful and it's all...

00:00:28a little overwhelming.

00:00:30Yeah.

00:00:30I wish somebody was writing love songs about me.

00:00:32The three of you are so happy, my love life is as cold as a frosted frog.

00:00:36You're a young pen.

00:00:37There's plenty of time to find true happiness.

00:00:39Yeah, or learn to love being alone.

00:00:42All right, let's focus.

00:00:43Just got out of a meeting with the brass and everyone is feeling the pinch.

00:00:47Recruitment numbers are down, retirement numbers are up.

00:00:49Bottom line, prepare to work more OT where the department manages staffing shortages

00:00:53and we launch this new recruitment drive.

00:01:00Oh!

00:01:01What's going on?

00:01:02We won!

00:01:03We won!

00:01:05We won what?

00:01:06The lottery.

00:01:08Shangri-La has been played every week for 12 years.

00:01:13We're rich, bitch!

00:01:14Smitty, out.

00:01:19When did you say this recruitment drive was?

00:01:22I'm gonna win for you like I know you want me to do.

00:01:30You should call in sick.

00:01:31Hang out with me on my day off.

00:01:33That would be a bad look on my first day back.

00:01:35Oh, it would be fine.

00:01:37I mean, do you even have an official job yet?

00:01:39No.

00:01:39And I'm trying so hard to be zen about that.

00:01:42My former position was perfect.

00:01:44It's my own fault for taking a leave and going to D.C.

00:01:47Any idea what Kevin Faust is going to give you?

00:01:49No, we're talking first thing this morning.

00:01:51So what are you going to do today?

00:01:52I'm going to find out how many naps.

00:01:54There's too many naps.

00:01:55My plan is to do absolutely nothing.

00:01:58Oh, you were going to fix the drain in the shower.

00:02:00Absolutely nothing except fix the drain in the shower.

00:02:03Okay.

00:02:05Though I know it's not my hair in there.

00:02:07What was that?

00:02:08I said have a good day out there.

00:02:10Okay.

00:02:11Okay.

00:02:17I'm confused.

00:02:19I just voted for you.

00:02:20Why are you two going to work?

00:02:21Shouldn't you be doing the whole last minute campaign and game?

00:02:24Rita wanted him to, but we talked about it and...

00:02:26I'm going to lose.

00:02:27Badly.

00:02:28Rita gave us the latest poll numbers and then quit.

00:02:30So rather than waste another minute on a failed campaign that neither one of us enjoyed for

00:02:34a second, we are first day of the rest of our lives again.

00:02:37Okay.

00:02:37Well, I can't complain about having my bestie back on the job.

00:02:40Hey, why don't we do dinner tonight?

00:02:42Just the four of us.

00:02:43You're not going to watch the returns?

00:02:45No.

00:02:45There's no point.

00:02:47I love you, loser.

00:02:49I love you too.

00:02:52You would have made an amazing DA.

00:02:55Thanks.

00:02:57Bye.

00:03:01Vivienne is going to fire him the second she wins, isn't she?

00:03:04A hundred percent.

00:03:06Yeah.

00:03:07All right.

00:03:07I'll be right in.

00:03:08All right.

00:03:14What's up?

00:03:15Hey, um, how would you feel about having a small gathering at your house tonight?

00:03:18Oh, what's the occasion?

00:03:20Wesley tanking the DA race.

00:03:22Is that cause for celebration?

00:03:23No, but it is a time for friends to get together and support each other no matter what.

00:03:28Also, it needs to be a surprise or else we'll just try and talk me out of it.

00:03:31Got it.

00:03:31Yeah, sure.

00:03:32We can have it here.

00:03:32Great.

00:03:33I will start a group chat.

00:03:34All right.

00:03:35Do you need me to end you hung up?

00:03:38Here's what I love.

00:03:39The clear amount of industry and effort that you've put in.

00:03:43But?

00:03:45But it is a little, you know, narrowly focused.

00:03:50Join the LAPD.

00:03:51Be a badass hero.

00:03:52Protect the innocent.

00:03:53It's reflective of your lived experience, but it's not exactly reflective of the multitude

00:03:58that is the LAPD.

00:04:01Yeah.

00:04:02Great.

00:04:02You're in charge of staffing this up.

00:04:03What?

00:04:04Hold on.

00:04:04No, that's...

00:04:05I was not trying to...

00:04:08Fine.

00:04:10Penn!

00:04:11Juarez!

00:04:12You're on a special assignment today.

00:04:13Penn's still a rookie.

00:04:14Exactly.

00:04:15Who better to give insight to a recruit than someone going through training?

00:04:18Guys, get started.

00:04:19The paperwork's inside.

00:04:21Hey.

00:04:22How's it going?

00:04:22Good.

00:04:23Did the brass send you down here to help me with the recruitment drive?

00:04:25In a consulting capacity.

00:04:27And only if you need me.

00:04:28So say you don't need me so I can go back to work.

00:04:31Ah!

00:04:32Oh, are you okay?

00:04:33Yeah, I'm fine.

00:04:35Smitty!

00:04:36What?

00:04:37You quit?

00:04:38No.

00:04:40I took an unscheduled day off while I briefly submitted my retirement papers, but that's

00:04:45all done now.

00:04:46Why?

00:04:47What happened?

00:04:47Oh, they say I didn't kick in for my share of the ticket so I don't get my share of

00:04:51the

00:04:51payout, but I'm always late with the wife's hander.

00:04:53They know I'm good for it.

00:04:55Ah!

00:04:55Oh, God.

00:04:56You are not okay.

00:04:57Smitty, make yourself useful.

00:04:58We'll get the lieutenant down to St. Stephen's.

00:04:59No, no.

00:05:00I can drive myself.

00:05:00No, you can't, but I can call an ambulance.

00:05:02Or your wife.

00:05:03We can call your wife.

00:05:03No.

00:05:04No, definitely not.

00:05:06Let's go, Smitty.

00:05:08I do not want to hear about your lottery situation.

00:05:11No problem.

00:05:12But I do have a teletherapy appointment starting at 5, so you might overhear a bit.

00:05:21Good morning.

00:05:22Good morning.

00:05:23Oh, good morning.

00:05:24Come on in.

00:05:24Thank you for being so understanding.

00:05:27I know I left you in the lurch when I went to D.C.

00:05:30All good.

00:05:30So, what do you have in store for me?

00:05:33Well, obviously, your old job is gone.

00:05:35But we do have a new class of paramedic recruits, and I want you to train one.

00:05:40You're giving me a rookie?

00:05:42I am.

00:05:43Oakley!

00:05:45Yes, sir?

00:05:46This is Bailey Noon.

00:05:47You'll be training with her.

00:05:48Pleasure to meet you.

00:05:49I'm eager to get started.

00:05:50I've read everything there is to read on triage medicine, not just in the U.S., but as far

00:05:54field as Mumbai.

00:05:55They published a fascinating study 12 days ago on emergency medicine and high-density

00:05:59populations.

00:06:00I can send you a link.

00:06:01Do you read Hindi by any chance, or do you need the English translation?

00:06:06Good luck.

00:06:09Officer in agony here.

00:06:11Bed 11.

00:06:12Oh, hell no.

00:06:13I changed my mind.

00:06:14I'm fine.

00:06:16Oh, what is going on?

00:06:17He woke up with a stabbing pain in his lower back.

00:06:20I heard 20p.

00:06:21The Smitty!

00:06:22What?

00:06:22I could hear you cursing from outside the station bathroom.

00:06:25Oh, my God.

00:06:27Wait.

00:06:28You're that doctor.

00:06:29You're the one.

00:06:30Smitty!

00:06:31Get out of here now.

00:06:32Back to the station.

00:06:33Yes, sir.

00:06:34Good luck.

00:06:36I'm the doctor that what?

00:06:38Like you don't know.

00:06:39I really don't, but you know what?

00:06:41That can wait till we figure out what is going on with you.

00:06:43I want a different doctor.

00:06:45I am the only one who's free right now.

00:06:47Oh, wait.

00:06:49Are you sure?

00:06:50Yeah.

00:06:52Okay.

00:06:55Please tell me you haven't napped yet and that you haven't forgotten to fix the bathroom drain.

00:07:00No, of course not.

00:07:01I just called to see where you were assigned.

00:07:04I got a rookie.

00:07:06I knew you secretly wanted to be me.

00:07:08I've never trained anyone before.

00:07:10It's my first day back and this kid is kind of green.

00:07:14So, are you looking for some tips?

00:07:16Would you come meet us?

00:07:18Give a first blush eval and maybe a few pointers?

00:07:22Yes, of course.

00:07:23But it's going to cost you.

00:07:25I should hope so.

00:07:27I gotta go.

00:07:27All right.

00:07:28Looking forward to you hung up as well.

00:07:31A buttload of hemostatic gauze as requested.

00:07:37How can I help?

00:07:38Uh, watch first.

00:07:40I like things a certain way.

00:07:42A lot of people put their first-in bag on the gurney, but I like it in the outside compartment.

00:07:47That way I can grab the gurney while you grab the bag.

00:07:49Smart.

00:07:51You know, in early agrarian societies, they used to-

00:07:53Let's just focus on modern emergency medicine.

00:07:55Yeah, yeah, of course.

00:07:58But I find that understanding the history of things can give context to modern emergency medicine

00:08:02and elucidates the reasons why we do things the way we do today.

00:08:08All right, look, you can spot the losers a mile away.

00:08:11Don't waste any time with anyone you know won't pass the physical exam or the sight valve.

00:08:14Got it.

00:08:15Fill out a questionnaire.

00:08:16Let them know that we follow up with a polygraph and a background check.

00:08:19That'll knock out at least a third of the duds.

00:08:21Okay, just so I can set expectations, I mean, what ratio of good candidates to losers should we expect?

00:08:29Does this background check include Florida?

00:08:32So I have been arrested before, but I wasn't convicted.

00:08:35Does that count?

00:08:35Defense.

00:08:36What was the charge?

00:08:38Befouling the punch bowl, the company picnic, and felony murder.

00:08:44And I thought to myself, why not take this white-hot rage that I feel every second of every day

00:08:50and use it for something positive, like curb-stomping violent felons?

00:08:55Okay.

00:08:56Try MMA.

00:08:57Next.

00:08:59Morning.

00:09:01Heard about the personnel shortage.

00:09:03And, uh, well, you guys need cops and I want back in.

00:09:07So, how can we make this happen?

00:09:13Where did you go to school?

00:09:14Johns Hopkins for my master's in neuroscience.

00:09:17Well, actually, it was a double master's in that and philosophy.

00:09:20Okay.

00:09:21Well, when we...

00:09:22I had a PhD in molecular biology at UCLA.

00:09:24Then I spent a year at Oxford doing medical research.

00:09:26That was around the time I started to think, maybe I should have some real-life experience.

00:09:31Well, you've come to the right place.

00:09:33Okay.

00:09:34Rescue 53, respond to 31488 12th Avenue.

00:09:37Manage a stress, unknown description, unknown injuries.

00:09:40And there's no better time to start.

00:09:42Control, this is Rescue 53.

00:09:44Show us responding.

00:10:02Control, this is Rescue 53.

00:10:05On scene, the distressed male at 12th Avenue.

00:10:09I thought we'd be doing this over coffee.

00:10:12What better way to evaluate him than seeing him in action?

00:10:14Seeing him in action.

00:10:16Exactly.

00:10:16Jace, this is my husband, John.

00:10:18He's off-duty LAPD.

00:10:19Nice to meet you.

00:10:20He looks way more than distressed.

00:10:22Let's flip him over, grab his head, and keep him stable.

00:10:24On three.

00:10:25One, two, three.

00:10:29He's alive, but unconscious, probably from heavy blood loss.

00:10:38Oh.

00:10:39Gun shovels.

00:10:40That explains the heavy blood loss.

00:10:47Please get off me!

00:10:48Easy, easy, easy.

00:10:49I'm pushing Academy.

00:10:50We're trying to help you.

00:10:54Let's get him to St. Stephen's.

00:10:55All right.

00:10:56I'll mobilize LAPD.

00:10:57Radio's in the car.

00:11:04Get away from him.

00:11:06Fletton?

00:11:07Hit with the radio.

00:11:09Please don't hurt us.

00:11:10Get up, traitor!

00:11:11He can't answer you.

00:11:12I gave him a sedative.

00:11:13Then wake him back up.

00:11:14But that's not how medicine works.

00:11:16And who the hell are you, huh?

00:11:17I'm a doctor.

00:11:18I'm just doing a ride-along.

00:11:19No, we can't stay here.

00:11:21Get Isaac in the car.

00:11:22You can't do that.

00:11:23That'll kill him.

00:11:24Get him in the ambulance.

00:11:25You're gonna keep him alive

00:11:26till we get what we need.

00:11:27I'm on it.

00:11:32Whoa, whoa, whoa.

00:11:32Hey, back up.

00:11:33They got it.

00:11:34What do you want to do with this guy?

00:11:35I need him.

00:11:36I'm just a paramedic.

00:11:37He's a doctor.

00:11:40All right, search him,

00:11:40and let's get gone.

00:11:42Meet us back at the office.

00:11:43Heads up.

00:11:49Let's go.

00:11:53Come on, come on, come on.

00:11:55Get in.

00:12:18You know, the history of Battlefield, Madison,

00:12:20is truly fascinating.

00:12:21Until about 50 years ago,

00:12:22most major wounds were guaranteed fatal.

00:12:24Do you want to die?

00:12:24No, not particularly.

00:12:25Then shut up and drive.

00:12:28What did this guy do to you, anyway?

00:12:29He stole our money.

00:12:31Isaac here was in charge of keeping it safe.

00:12:33We were supposed to meet,

00:12:35divvy it up.

00:12:35Now he's stashed it somewhere,

00:12:37trying to keep it all for himself,

00:12:38but that's not gonna happen.

00:12:40This money he stole,

00:12:41assuming he recently stole it from someone else,

00:12:43Brink's truck, a bank, what?

00:12:45You ask a lot of questions, Doc.

00:12:47Shut up.

00:12:48The only answer I care about is,

00:12:50what exactly is your plan here?

00:12:51Three steps, wake the traitor up,

00:12:54get him to tell us where the money is,

00:12:56kill him.

00:12:56This man is barely stable.

00:12:58What happens if the third step comes first?

00:13:00Then you're dying in this ambulance along with him.

00:13:06I knew Seth still had dreams of being a cop,

00:13:08but I did not think he would try again at me to Wilshire.

00:13:10Yeah, well, he thinks he's catching us

00:13:12at a vulnerable moment.

00:13:13He's right.

00:13:13We need cops in the street now,

00:13:15not in six months after the applicants finish training.

00:13:17Technically, all he has to do is pass his physical,

00:13:19and he's back in uniform.

00:13:20The physical is not my concern.

00:13:22It is everything else.

00:13:24Listen, Seth has changed.

00:13:25I know it's hard to believe,

00:13:26but he's committed to a different path.

00:13:27You are biased, Penn,

00:13:29because he saved your life.

00:13:30Guilty as charged, but...

00:13:33he deserves a second chance.

00:13:49Okay.

00:13:51I'm ready.

00:13:52Whatever you guys need.

00:13:52The only way I'll even consider

00:13:54recommending you for reinstatement

00:13:56is if you pass a polygraph.

00:14:01Okay.

00:14:03Let's do it.

00:14:04Why are you refusing treatment?

00:14:07I'm not.

00:14:08I just saw a doctor

00:14:09that told me I had kidney stones,

00:14:11major ones.

00:14:12I'm sorry.

00:14:13I heard that pain is excruciating.

00:14:16Well, while you are being treated,

00:14:18I am your patient advocate.

00:14:20So, is there anything

00:14:22that you would like me to advocate for?

00:14:24Yes.

00:14:25I was severely mistreated by Dr. Ashton.

00:14:27I went on fire.

00:14:28Wade.

00:14:29Hey, you asked.

00:14:31I will check on you in a little bit.

00:14:33I will check on you in a little bit.

00:14:35I will check on you in a little bit.

00:14:36All right.

00:14:38Luna.

00:14:41Can I talk to you?

00:14:44Did you and your husband separate because of me?

00:14:47What?

00:14:48No.

00:14:54You were something of a catalyst.

00:14:55Um, I'll admit to enjoying some harmless flirting,

00:15:00but if I ever gave you the impression

00:15:02that I wanted anything more...

00:15:04You absolutely gave me that impression.

00:15:07If I had suggested over dinner that we check into a hotel,

00:15:10you wouldn't have said no.

00:15:13Probably not.

00:15:14You tell yourself that it's harmless,

00:15:17but what it is is selfish.

00:15:20It doesn't matter to you what the fallout could be,

00:15:22because you can just walk away.

00:15:25Thank God I came to my senses.

00:15:32Okay, we're gonna start with some easy questions.

00:15:34Please restrict your answers to either a yes or a no.

00:15:37Is your name Seth William Ridley?

00:15:40Yes.

00:15:40Do you live at 3200 Blix Street?

00:15:42Yes.

00:15:43Are you 25 years old?

00:15:45Yes.

00:15:46Okay, now to establish a proper baseline,

00:15:47I'm gonna ask you the same questions,

00:15:49but this time I want you to lie.

00:15:51You understand?

00:15:53All right.

00:15:54Is your name Seth William Ridley?

00:15:56No.

00:15:57Do you live at 3200 Blix Street?

00:16:00No.

00:16:01Okay, let's start.

00:16:03Did you ever tell me that your high school girlfriend

00:16:06died from a drug overdose?

00:16:08Yes.

00:16:09Was that a lie?

00:16:09Yes.

00:16:12Were you in love with Tamar Collins?

00:16:16Yeah, I wanted to marry her.

00:16:18A simple yes or no, Ridley?

00:16:19Sorry.

00:16:20Yes.

00:16:22Yes.

00:16:24One year ago, did you have cancer?

00:16:27I did not, no.

00:16:29During that time, did you ever believe you were sick?

00:16:33No.

00:16:36On the day of the Kenyan Wildfire, did the National Weather Service call you about the fire spreading across Eagle

00:16:43Rock Road?

00:16:43Do we really have a...

00:16:44Answer the question.

00:16:44Did you receive a call from the Weather Service?

00:16:47Yes.

00:16:48Did you relay that information to the officers in the field?

00:16:52He means us.

00:16:53Did you try to tell us?

00:16:55No.

00:16:56On purpose?

00:16:57No.

00:16:59I got distracted.

00:17:01And it was too late to warn you.

00:17:02I knew that you were pinned down.

00:17:04That was my fault.

00:17:06I'm sorry.

00:17:07But I...

00:17:08I was too afraid to say anything.

00:17:11No, you lied.

00:17:12To cover up your mistake like you always do.

00:17:17Yes.

00:17:19No.

00:17:22Not anymore.

00:17:23Not anymore.

00:17:24Not anymore.

00:17:29He's crashing.

00:17:34His pulse is weak.

00:17:35He has a pneumothorax.

00:17:36The pressure is building in his chest cavity.

00:17:42Hold him steady on my puncture's chest.

00:17:51If you won't take us to a hospital, I need to be someplace not moving.

00:17:55You need to listen to her.

00:17:56Orange is a doctor.

00:17:57Why is she doing everything?

00:17:58I'm a radiologist.

00:17:59We don't have time for resumes.

00:18:00We need to stop the ambulance.

00:18:04How long do we get to the office?

00:18:05We're landing now.

00:18:09Come on, come on.

00:18:13I'll get the boss.

00:18:16Let's get Isaac on the table.

00:18:17Clear it off.

00:18:18Come on.

00:18:28How's he doing?

00:18:29Not well.

00:18:29All the fluid I transfused into him just keeps coming right back out.

00:18:32He's running out of time.

00:18:33How long before your dispatch realizes you're missing?

00:18:35A few hours.

00:18:37Firefighters aren't as worried about random violence as caused.

00:18:39Perhaps it's time to revisit that policy.

00:18:42I'm dying to know why you brought these randos to the office and not my money.

00:18:46Isaac took the cash and ran.

00:18:47We only caught up to him after he hit it.

00:18:49He started shooting.

00:18:50You shot back?

00:18:51Before you got my money.

00:18:52Well, Alan's got a little excited.

00:18:53Hey, we all emptied a cliff.

00:18:55I told you to call...

00:18:56Shut up!

00:18:58You're making my head hurt.

00:18:59How bad's our boy?

00:19:00Critical.

00:19:01He needs a hospital.

00:19:02Not happening.

00:19:03Wake him up.

00:19:03Give him the Pulp Fiction shot.

00:19:05Right in the heart.

00:19:06If that shot, epinephrine would kill him.

00:19:10No!

00:19:12I'm only gonna say this once.

00:19:14You got ten minutes to wake him up so I can find my money, or I shoot this man next.

00:19:26Don't, no.

00:19:26I have to help him or he's gonna die.

00:19:28That's why I shot him.

00:19:30Get him talking.

00:19:31Now.

00:19:34Whoa, whoa, whoa, wait.

00:19:36Let me triage my rookie or I cut your guy's carotid and you'll never find your money.

00:19:42Check out born identity, Bari.

00:19:44What about the Hippocratic Oath?

00:19:45That's for doctors, not paramedics.

00:19:48Okay, how about this?

00:19:50You let her resurrect Isaac, and you let me treat Jace. Is that okay?

00:19:57Fine.

00:19:57You go watch him.

00:19:58If he tries to be a hero, cap them both.

00:20:01Hey, I got you.

00:20:03You all right?

00:20:04You know, not really.

00:20:06Oh God, that's a lot of blood.

00:20:07Yeah.

00:20:08I'm gonna need some hemostatic gauze on there.

00:20:10Clearly we're gonna need to work together, so slow breaths, okay?

00:20:13You're gonna apply some serious pressure on there.

00:20:15I might make some noise.

00:20:16Right.

00:20:17Ready?

00:20:20Okay.

00:20:21I'm gonna pass out now.

00:20:23Right.

00:20:25Hey, hey, forget about the bleeding. Boss said wake him up.

00:20:28He's in hypovolemic shock.

00:20:29His blood pressure has cratered.

00:20:31He's about to die.

00:20:32If he dies, we are screwed, man.

00:20:34If he's bleeding out, give him more blood.

00:20:35I don't have any, so unless one of you is O negative, the universal blood donor, we're out of luck.

00:20:40Yeah, no, no, that's me.

00:20:41I needed a transfusion after I took one in the leg on the Long Beach job because they told me

00:20:45I was O negative.

00:20:46Perfect.

00:20:47Roll up your sleeve.

00:20:51Hi.

00:20:52I'm here to join the LAPD.

00:20:54What?

00:20:55Are you serious?

00:20:55Oh God, no.

00:20:56I'd make a terrible cop.

00:20:57I came by to say hi and to see if you'd had time to listen to the song.

00:21:03I did.

00:21:04I did.

00:21:05Oh, I'm gonna go grab a soda.

00:21:08You want anything?

00:21:08No, I'm good.

00:21:09I'll take a chocolate milk.

00:21:16You didn't like it.

00:21:17Are you kidding?

00:21:19It made me cry the first 10 times I listened to it, but it's a lot of pressure, you know?

00:21:25Imagine how Mona Lisa felt when Da Vinci painted her.

00:21:28I mean, everyone constantly judging whether she was worthy of being memorialized like that.

00:21:33Wow, yeah, I never thought about it like that.

00:21:36Thank you for comparing me to Da Vinci.

00:21:38That's an ego boost for sure.

00:21:40Okay, I can change it up.

00:21:41I can add a line about your morning breath or how you kick me in your sleep.

00:21:44Okay, I do not.

00:21:45Do I?

00:21:46Hey.

00:21:46Hi.

00:21:47I'm here to sign up for a cop job.

00:21:50You are in the right place.

00:21:53What drew you to law enforcement?

00:21:55My boyfriend's a cop and we don't get to spend much time together, so I thought this way we could

00:21:59see each other every day.

00:22:00Well, that's amazing.

00:22:01You probably know him.

00:22:02Franklin Rose.

00:22:04Franklin Rose.

00:22:06Doesn't ring a bell, but you've been here longer than me, so.

00:22:09Well, I don't know him, but I mean, it's a big building.

00:22:11I'll show you a picture.

00:22:18Is this recent?

00:22:19Yeah, I took it of him last week before he went to work.

00:22:22Do you mind if I take a picture?

00:22:23Great.

00:22:24This will help me find him.

00:22:26You know, here's an application.

00:22:28Why don't you fill it out over there while I track him down?

00:22:31Okay, thanks.

00:22:32Yeah.

00:22:36What's wrong?

00:22:37The badge is all wrong.

00:22:39Yeah, this thing is from the 1970s.

00:22:40Maybe he was just trying to impress his girlfriend.

00:22:43By committing a felony?

00:22:44You know, I have heard rumors about low-level dealers getting ripped off by cops who confiscate their drugs and

00:22:50let them off with a warning.

00:22:52Classic dope rip.

00:22:53All right, I'm gonna need to talk to her.

00:22:55Not a problem.

00:22:55She's still outside.

00:22:56We'll go get her.

00:23:01Hey, did you get everything?

00:23:03Boy, did I.

00:23:05You really think he's gonna appreciate us paying your demotion party forward?

00:23:08If not, we will get him drunk enough that he forgets it ever happened.

00:23:12All right, I gotta go. I love you.

00:23:13Love you, too.

00:23:17Hey.

00:23:18This must be burning.

00:23:19Oh, yeah? Why?

00:23:21Oh, well, uh, just, um, I was watching a news story about the, uh, election.

00:23:27What's up?

00:23:28Do you remember, like, a thousand years ago when this all started, we talked about doing an announcement speech to

00:23:32lay out my full progressive agenda?

00:23:34Yeah, before you chickened out.

00:23:36Well, if I'm gonna concede this election, I want to go out swinging.

00:23:39I want everyone to know exactly what I believe.

00:23:42Can you give me an assist?

00:23:43My speechwriter quit.

00:23:44Sure.

00:23:45Yeah, uh, I sure can.

00:23:46You know, how about you follow me into my office, stepping over here?

00:23:49Yeah.

00:23:49What kind of things were you thinking about changing?

00:23:51I mean, I really like what we did the first time around.

00:23:53I just didn't get to nail it, you know?

00:23:54Oh, right.

00:23:58Sure, what's the verdict?

00:23:59Well, according to the polygraph, you told the truth about everything.

00:24:02Which was unexpected, and proves that you've made a real effort to change.

00:24:05Okay, great.

00:24:08No?

00:24:09It's... no?

00:24:10Look, the fact that you knowingly let us drive into danger, failed to do anything about it, and then lied

00:24:15to protect yourself is unforgivable to the department.

00:24:18Even though I sacrificed myself to save Nolan's life? What about that? Does my loss count for anything?

00:24:25Honestly?

00:24:26It's not enough.

00:24:27Even if you were to reapply to the FTO program, I would have to share those test results with Internal

00:24:31Affairs.

00:24:32Wait.

00:24:34So, this whole thing's a setup?

00:24:37I catch 22, I lie about the fire, and I fail the test, I tell the truth, and then you're

00:24:42gonna use it against me?

00:24:43I thought you were giving me a fair shot here.

00:24:45Look, I'm sorry.

00:24:45I can see that you are genuinely trying to be a better person, but there is no coming back from

00:24:50what you did.

00:24:51Not here.

00:24:57Okay, I understand.

00:25:00Thank you for giving me the opportunity to tell the truth.

00:25:04I know that could not have been easy given what I put you through.

00:25:08Ah, man, I thought it would be enough for me to come in here and to say I'm sorry and

00:25:13to do the work and not be that guy anymore, but...

00:25:19I guess I finally understand that there are simply things I just don't get to have anymore.

00:25:25There are doors that I close that I'm never gonna reopen.

00:25:32Thank you, appreciate everything you taught me, I really do.

00:25:40Good luck, Ridley.

00:25:42You walk out of here knowing you finally took responsibility for your actions.

00:25:47And in my book, that counts for something.

00:25:59Bad news, there's no cop in the LAPD with your boyfriend's name.

00:26:02Check again.

00:26:03He's closed massive cases.

00:26:05The mayor gave him an award.

00:26:08I'm so sorry, but none of that is true.

00:26:10Well, if he's lying, why is his boss on your wall?

00:26:19You sure that's him?

00:26:20Yeah, Captain Jennings.

00:26:22Okay, well that is problematic in a whole different way.

00:26:26Howard Jennings doesn't work here either.

00:26:28He retired eight years ago.

00:26:36Keep pumping, it needs to flow or it'll coagulate.

00:26:39Damn, bro.

00:26:40The human body is so cool.

00:26:43He's stabilizing.

00:26:44Uh, you might want to take a look at this.

00:26:46I think it's femoral hyperglobocyst exfoliating.

00:26:52As soon as they find out where the money is, they're gonna kill us.

00:26:54We need a way out.

00:26:55Well, you're the forgotten man right now.

00:26:57So if you see a move to make do it, not jump in.

00:27:01Are you sleeping beauty?

00:27:03Where am I?

00:27:04You're in hell, bitch.

00:27:07Where's my money?

00:27:07Screw you.

00:27:09Come on, Isaac.

00:27:09You can't take it with you.

00:27:11Okay, I'll tell you.

00:27:12Come here.

00:27:12I'll tell you.

00:27:13I hate it.

00:27:17Just give him a second.

00:27:18He's still coming out of sedation.

00:27:20Yeah, he's never gonna tell us.

00:27:21He's just gonna screw us and then die.

00:27:24I hope it hurts, man.

00:27:26I hope you're in so much pain.

00:27:27You're praying for the sweet mercy of death because it's coming.

00:27:30I don't feel good.

00:27:31Can you unhook me?

00:27:32Hey, lady, you might want to tighten that tourniquet.

00:27:35Whoa, whoa.

00:27:35No!

00:27:36No!

00:27:39No!

00:27:40No!

00:27:43No!

00:27:45No!

00:27:45What's that mean?

00:27:46His heart sucked.

00:27:48Get him back!

00:27:49Now!

00:27:50You yell at us for shooting him, then you chop his arm off?

00:27:52What the hell's wrong with you?

00:27:53I'm getting my money.

00:27:54I spent six months planning this job.

00:27:56Yeah, from the safety of this office, while we're the ones sticking our knees.

00:27:59We need to bring him back.

00:27:59No.

00:28:00We're out of time.

00:28:01Hey, stop arguing.

00:28:02Get over here and help me.

00:28:03With what?

00:28:04To fix your boss's mistake, I need you to pinch off this artery so I get a shot of adrenaline.

00:28:08Do it!

00:28:13Hey!

00:28:16Down, honey.

00:28:17He's a cop!

00:28:19Whoa!

00:28:21Damn!

00:28:34Did we win?

00:28:35Yes.

00:28:36We did.

00:28:37Because of you.

00:28:38911.

00:28:39What's your emergency?

00:28:39This is Officer John Nolan.

00:28:41I need three units in an ambulance.

00:28:42Code three.

00:28:43Multiple assailants, and one critically wounded paramedic.

00:28:46Great job, honey.

00:28:50I appreciate you coming in at such short notice, Captain.

00:28:53Are you kidding me?

00:28:54The Margaret Hoffman case is the one I can never forget.

00:28:57If you've got a fresh lead, I'll move heaven and earth to help you bring her killer to justice.

00:29:02We've got old files laid out in here.

00:29:05Let's do it.

00:29:08Captain, I am Detective Nyla Harper.

00:29:10This is Detective Angela Lopez.

00:29:12This isn't about Margaret Hoffman.

00:29:14No, sir.

00:29:15I'll leave you to it.

00:29:20Think you can intimidate me with your little setup here?

00:29:23No, sir.

00:29:24You're a legendary tough guy.

00:29:25Who inspired loyalty in his men and fear in his enemies.

00:29:30Who the hell are you to mock me?

00:29:31Your worst nightmare.

00:29:33That's the first thing that springs to mind, but I don't know how I did.

00:29:36It sounds a little cringy when I say it out loud, huh?

00:29:38We'll workshop it later.

00:29:39Okay.

00:29:39Right now, we're dying to know what happened to you.

00:29:42Why cross over to the dark side?

00:29:44I have no idea what you're talking about, and I'm leaving.

00:29:46I guess we'll just have to get our answers from Franklin Rose.

00:29:49Or the other two felons that you recruited, Marcus Kennedy and Jeremiah Gomez.

00:29:57And what crimes do you think these men have been doing?

00:30:00Well, robbing drug dealers so you can sell the product yourself.

00:30:03And before you protest that you've never heard of them, we have Jeremiah and Marcus in custody.

00:30:09And they dropped your name the second the cuffs came out.

00:30:11It's over, sir.

00:30:13We will be placing you under arrest.

00:30:15You have the right to remain silent.

00:30:17Anything you say can and will be used against you in a court of law.

00:30:20You have the right to an attorney.

00:30:22If you cannot afford an attorney, one will be provided for you.

00:30:26Do you understand?

00:30:32Yeah.

00:30:34Yeah, I understand.

00:30:36My entire career, I never once crossed the line.

00:30:39I was as straight and arrow as you could be.

00:30:44But my personal life was a bit, uh, more chaotic.

00:30:48Three wives, six kids.

00:30:50Seven.

00:30:51Oof. It got expensive.

00:30:52It got ridiculous.

00:30:54Credit cards were all maxed out.

00:30:55It was behind on everything.

00:30:56You spent your entire career cleaning up messes desperate people made.

00:31:02Feeling superior.

00:31:05Turns out we all have a tipping point.

00:31:07I was just gonna do the dope rips until I got caught up financially.

00:31:11I thought, who the hell am I hurting?

00:31:12Drug dealers?

00:31:13They'd shoot their mother for a Trans Am.

00:31:18I gave my life to the job.

00:31:22I did way more good for this city

00:31:25than the wrong I did now.

00:31:32Let's go.

00:31:33Come on.

00:31:45Come on.

00:31:47That's Franklin.

00:31:55Hi.

00:31:56Hey, baby.

00:31:57I hope it's okay. I wanted to surprise you.

00:31:59Boy, did you?

00:32:00They were having a recruitment drive and I thought, wouldn't it be fun if you and me worked together?

00:32:04It would.

00:32:05Yeah, it sure would.

00:32:06But listen, baby.

00:32:06You haven't actually gone inside and talked to anybody, have you?

00:32:08No.

00:32:09I waited like you asked me to.

00:32:10Great.

00:32:11Oh, that is so great.

00:32:12Listen, so I do have a couple errands I have to run.

00:32:14Why don't you come with me?

00:32:16No.

00:32:17Help.

00:32:17Hey, hey, hey.

00:32:18Show me your hands.

00:32:20Turn around and walk to the grass now.

00:32:22All right.

00:32:22Turn around.

00:32:23All right.

00:32:24Franklin Rose, you're under arrest of felony robbery.

00:32:27Guys, just let me call my boss.

00:32:29No need, my man.

00:32:30Captain Jennings is already in holding.

00:32:33Let's move.

00:32:37Kitty.

00:32:38Kitty?

00:32:39Are you serious?

00:32:41I've really got a golden gut, huh?

00:32:44I wouldn't know a decent guy if he came up to me and say...

00:32:47Hey.

00:32:48You weren't kidding when you said you had to go do a thing before we could drown my sorrows, huh?

00:32:52Mm-hmm.

00:32:54Hi.

00:32:55Hi.

00:32:56Kitty Adams.

00:32:58Seth Ridley.

00:32:58Nice to meet you, Kitty.

00:32:59You, uh, new to town?

00:33:01You don't really have a big city vibe going on in a good way.

00:33:04Uh, Kitty, I don't think you should.

00:33:06Why don't you blow off your friends and have a drink with me instead?

00:33:11I'll tell you my life story.

00:33:14Go for it, dude.

00:33:15Okay.

00:33:17What?

00:33:18Nothing.

00:33:19Maybe it's such a bad idea.

00:33:20It's actually good.

00:33:30Detectives from the Pacific Division have connected our kidnappers to a bank robbery in Santa Monica they made off with

00:33:36over $2 million.

00:33:37Oh, that explains why they were so desperate to find it.

00:33:39And why Isaac was so determined not to tell them.

00:33:41Oh, he took that secret to the grave.

00:33:43Which means that money's still out there.

00:33:44Hmm.

00:33:45Treasure hunt later?

00:33:48But we just have to give it back.

00:33:50Right.

00:33:51That's less fun.

00:33:51Less fun.

00:33:56The good news is that I'm alive.

00:33:59What's the bad news?

00:34:00Well, all things considered, there is none.

00:34:03The surgery was straightforward.

00:34:05The bullet missed all your major organs.

00:34:07Thank God.

00:34:09But this leaves us with the outstanding question.

00:34:11Is this a life lesson or a cautionary tale?

00:34:14Something tells me you already know the answer to that.

00:34:16Oh.

00:34:17Cautionary tale.

00:34:18All day.

00:34:18Definitely a thinker.

00:34:20And not a doer.

00:34:21Well, personally, I think you would have made an excellent paramedic.

00:34:25You have more brain power than this entire hospital and just the right amount of bravery.

00:34:30That means a lot, coming from the legend that is Bailey Noon.

00:34:34And her husband's pretty cool, too.

00:34:37I told you.

00:34:37I'll keep him.

00:34:39You know, this reminds me of a fun allegory from Plato.

00:34:42It's much more compelling than the original Ancient D.

00:34:45Shh.

00:34:45I think you should rest.

00:34:46I'm fine.

00:34:47I'll just catch a hooper.

00:34:49You will not.

00:34:51I will drive you to your hotel.

00:34:53Plus, you promised me that we would have the chance to really talk.

00:34:57So, I am going to take you hostage until we do.

00:35:01That's my girl.

00:35:02For what it's worth, I slammed the door in Ashton's face today.

00:35:09Figuratively.

00:35:10Disappointing.

00:35:13Like I told you before, he was just a temptation.

00:35:17Nothing more.

00:35:18But it did shake me up a bit.

00:35:22You have to admit that our marriage has been pretty static the last few years.

00:35:27I would have said solid, but I understand what you mean.

00:35:32I also understand now that this was more than just a new job for you.

00:35:38It was the beginning of something.

00:35:41But my question is, does our marriage have a part in this new beginning?

00:35:46Yes.

00:35:47I just got my head turned around and I made a mess of things.

00:35:53I want us to be healthy again.

00:35:55I know we can't just click our heels together and make that happen.

00:36:00We can if we do it in therapy.

00:36:04Yes.

00:36:05I think that's exactly where we should go.

00:36:09Look, how about if I take you home?

00:36:14You can sleep in the guest room if you want, but we can keep talking.

00:36:25Okay.

00:36:26I'd like that.

00:36:30You're not getting none of that.

00:36:32Just be in your crutch.

00:36:33I'm just saying.

00:36:33Come here to celebrate the death of Shangri-La?

00:36:43Not at all.

00:36:44It's been a challenging day all around.

00:36:46Wanted to make sure you're doing okay.

00:36:48Well, thanks kid.

00:36:49That's a lot more thoughtful than my traitorous lottery neighbors have been.

00:36:54They couldn't wait to get out of here.

00:36:56I mean, it looks like they bought you a few things on the way out though.

00:36:59Oh, if they think they can talk me out of suing by buying me barbecues and ice makers,

00:37:04they are sadly mistaken.

00:37:06Does that mean that they're up for grabs?

00:37:07No, I'm not an idiot.

00:37:08I already sold them on eBay for a buttload.

00:37:11Okay.

00:37:11Since you're both here, I'm way past due with flushing the septic system on the RV

00:37:16and it takes at least three hands.

00:37:18Oh, we got that.

00:37:20We got it.

00:37:21We got all the plans.

00:37:21That thing.

00:37:22The thing.

00:37:23Yep.

00:37:23That thing.

00:37:23Yep.

00:37:24Yeah.

00:37:25You have yourself a good night, okay?

00:37:27Mm-hmm.

00:37:27Okay.

00:37:28Bye, Mr. Smitty.

00:37:29Hey guys.

00:37:34Early returns are coming in.

00:37:35Good news?

00:37:36No.

00:37:36We're getting crushed.

00:37:38Hey.

00:37:39Okay.

00:37:40So my concession speech is pre-recorded.

00:37:42Ready to be released into the world just as soon as I officially lose.

00:37:45It's soon, babe.

00:37:46They're ready to call in.

00:37:47Listen.

00:37:48Listen.

00:37:48Let us take you to dinner.

00:37:49We know this great Mexican spot up in the valley.

00:37:51Was it Nolan and Bailey's place?

00:37:55You told.

00:37:57He saw all the decorations.

00:37:59What?

00:37:59Did you want me to lie?

00:38:00Yes.

00:38:01It's fine.

00:38:01I can think of no better place to celebrate my failures than with all of my friends.

00:38:06You made it to the finish line and fell down on your face while everybody watched.

00:38:15You lost a race you tried to win and you can't even argue cause you lost by a lot.

00:38:25I did.

00:38:25You tried your best and you got wrecked and now you're looking all depressed.

00:38:31Oh.

00:38:36You made a new mistake.

00:38:38You feel ashamed.

00:38:40You don't have to lie away.

00:38:46If you think you're on your own, just come home.

00:38:50We'll be waiting when you don't know what to do anymore.

00:38:54That's what we're here for.

00:38:57Yeah!

00:38:59Woo!

00:39:00That's what we're here for.

00:39:07Give me a piece to eat.

00:39:09This just feels weird.

00:39:13Oh.

00:39:14Just.

00:39:15That's my.

00:39:16Yeah.

00:39:16They are.

00:39:20They're about to play your speech.

00:39:22You want to turn on the news?

00:39:23No.

00:39:24No, I think that's in our rear view mirror now.

00:39:26Well, the beam was going to fire you anyways.

00:39:29Might as well speak your truth.

00:39:31It felt so good to cut through the noise.

00:39:33You know, stop playing politics.

00:39:36It also made me realize how little I'd accomplished at the DA's office.

00:39:40I mean, I tried to change the system from within.

00:39:42But without being the boss, without having that power, it's a losing battle.

00:39:45So I think I'm going to go back to being a defense lawyer.

00:39:50I figured.

00:39:51But there are a lot of cops who are going to feel betrayed.

00:39:54Like you're siding with the enemy.

00:39:56Well, there's only one cop whose opinion I care about.

00:40:00Oh.

00:40:01Yeah.

00:40:01I'm all for it.

00:40:03Our sex life was unreal and we're on opposite sides.

00:40:06Yes, it was.

00:40:07Oh.

00:40:08Okay.

00:40:09Hmm.

00:40:10Okay.

00:40:11Okay.

00:40:14Here's the thing.

00:40:14I wrote the song because I think you're incredible.

00:40:17And because I got really excited when I realized that Selena rhymes with zebra and subpoena.

00:40:21Does it though?

00:40:22Close enough for art.

00:40:24Look, I'm sorry that it made you feel self-conscious.

00:40:26But a song is not a statement of truth.

00:40:29It's an opinion.

00:40:30I think you're the most beautiful woman in the world.

00:40:32That does not objectively make you that.

00:40:34Okay.

00:40:34One case you haven't noticed, I am a painfully humble person.

00:40:38I mean, how can I not be?

00:40:39I'm surrounded by the most amazing people on the daily.

00:40:44I mean, seriously.

00:40:45Take a look at that group of badass overachievers.

00:40:48Every single one of them a unicorn in their own way.

00:40:52And you belong right there with them.

00:40:55I won't be taking any arguments at this time.

00:41:01All the speech.

00:41:05Everyone, if you'd gather around, it is official.

00:41:07Sadly, Wesley will not be the new district attorney.

00:41:11Ooh.

00:41:12That's okay.

00:41:14But Wesley, clearly everybody in this room is fiercely proud of you.

00:41:18For putting yourself out there and shining a light on what is wrong with our system

00:41:23and the ways in which it could be fixed if we were only collectively brave enough to try.

00:41:28So, we raise our glasses to you.

00:41:30To Wesley.

00:41:31Woo!

00:41:32Yay!

00:41:34I can't say that it was an enjoyable experience, but man, was it memorable.

00:41:38We've all gone through so much together this year.

00:41:41Sometimes it felt like it was more than we could handle, but it wasn't because we had each other.

00:41:47It's safe to say that I have no idea what the future has in store, but I do know one

00:41:51thing.

00:41:52We won't be going through it alone.

00:41:54Because we're a family.

00:41:56So, thank you.

00:41:57Hear, hear.

00:41:58Yeah!

00:41:59Woo!

00:42:00Let's eat.

00:42:01Please.

00:42:03And we don't know what to do anymore.

00:42:06That's what we're here for.

00:42:11That's what we're here for.

00:42:14That's what we're here for.

00:42:17Let's do it.

00:42:43Pretty gayktor

00:42:57What is Tim going to show us?

00:42:59He'll kill me if I ruin the surprise.

00:43:01It's not a waffle truck.

00:43:02I asked.

00:43:04Welcome.

00:43:05I wanted you guys to be the first to see my new office.

00:43:08Look, if I'm going to be a more out on the street watch commander,

00:43:10I need to take my office with me.

00:43:12Is this the new Interceptor utility vehicle?

00:43:14It is.

00:43:15700 horsepower, 8,000 pound towing capacity,

00:43:19level 4 ballistic door panels, dark mode,

00:43:21and 270 degree monitoring to analyze moving objects

00:43:24from potential threat levels.

00:43:26Calls it a super shop.

00:43:27That's a working title.

00:43:28See what we got?

00:43:29Add some bats, infrared camera, breaching tools.

00:43:34I have two 32-inch screens.

00:43:37Woo!

00:43:37Wow.

00:43:38Can I be watch commander?

00:43:40No, but you are riding with me today.

00:43:42Yes.

00:43:42Show them droning.

00:43:43Oh, yeah.

00:43:44Check this out.

00:43:53Isn't he cute?

00:43:54Sheesh.

00:43:55Really?

00:43:56Yeah.

00:43:57Look, super shop makes the Batmobile look like a kitty toy.

00:43:59And I can control it all right here from my phone.

00:44:04See?

00:44:07Damn it.

00:44:09Whoa, whoa.

00:44:10Damn it.

00:44:12Playing Tim's pump-up jack.

00:44:15Stop, stop, stop, stop.

00:44:21I'm gonna shake it down.

00:44:26It's not gonna be as easy as you think.

00:44:28Based on this morning's demonstration, I'm well aware.

00:44:31It's not just that you're taking the watch commander duties on patrol.

00:44:34You're also exposing yourself to chain of command confusion when you land at a scene, even if you stay in

00:44:40the SUV.

00:44:40Super shop.

00:44:42It's a working thing.

00:44:49Morning.

00:44:50Morning.

00:44:50All right, listen up.

00:44:52We're gonna do things a little different today.

00:44:55There'll be two supervisors out on the street.

00:44:57Sergeant Chen and myself.

00:45:01I know, I know.

00:45:02No one wants the boss showing up to their calls, second-guessing their every move.

00:45:06That is not my intention, okay?

00:45:07Nothing has to change.

00:45:09I just put wheels on my office.

00:45:10While we work out the details, Officer Nolan will be riding with me to help facilitate the transition.

00:45:15Any questions?

00:45:17Can I pick the playlist?

00:45:20It's a dumb question.

00:45:22All right, second order of business.

00:45:23Officer Juarez will be on temporary duty assignment with the Detectives Bureau.

00:45:27Did you choose your focus?

00:45:29Yes.

00:45:30Missing persons.

00:45:31Oof.

00:45:32You sure about that?

00:45:33Yeah.

00:45:35Your call?

00:45:36All right, I have some updates from the night shift.

00:45:38Is missing persons really that bad?

00:45:41Detective Thesman has a reputation.

00:45:43Like a Harper reputation?

00:45:45No, um, opposite.

00:45:48Last day at the DA's office.

00:45:50Excited?

00:45:51I'm relieved.

00:45:52When the DA had one foot in retirement, now that Vivian's DA elect, she's gonna have free reign.

00:45:56None of that will matter once you quit and open a private practice in Malibu with a view of the

00:46:00ocean.

00:46:01Uh, with that commute, you'd never see me again.

00:46:03Well, in my dream, I also work in Malibu.

00:46:06I have a robot helicopter that flies the kids to school.

00:46:09And a pony.

00:46:10Well, sorry to kill another one of your dreams, but I already reached out to my old landlord, and the

00:46:14only view from that office is the Ethiopian place on the first floor.

00:46:17Oh, before you go, make sure you pass off my cases to the right prosecutors.

00:46:21Daniels doesn't touch homicide.

00:46:22Give mine to Cosgrove.

00:46:23He is solid.

00:46:24That might be an issue.

00:46:25Cosgrove just quit.

00:46:26I gotta go.

00:46:27Good luck.

00:46:28Wesley, it's so good to see you.

00:46:30Yeah, right.

00:46:31I'm serious.

00:46:32No hard feelings on my end.

00:46:33Yeah, because you destroyed me.

00:46:34Well, exactly.

00:46:35I made good on the promise I made you when you threw your hat in the ring.

00:46:38It's nothing personal.

00:46:39In fact, I agree with you on a lot of the issues, and I know that together we can take

00:46:43the DA's office in a positive direction.

00:46:44Mm-hmm.

00:46:47You're not going to fall for that, are you?

00:46:49No.

00:46:49I was about to hand in my resignation letter.

00:46:51Well, she won't accept it.

00:46:53With Cosgrove, Garcia, and Martin already out, she can't afford to lose anyone else.

00:46:56Martin quit?

00:46:57Keyed her car on the way out.

00:46:58A hero to us all.

00:47:00Come on.

00:47:04Hey, sorry about the election.

00:47:06That should have been me facing Vivian.

00:47:08You were handed a poison chalice.

00:47:09I drank from it willingly.

00:47:10Sure.

00:47:11How's Logan?

00:47:12He's good.

00:47:14You know, he just got another chip.

00:47:16He's been clean now almost four months.

00:47:19That's great.

00:47:19Yeah.

00:47:20What about you?

00:47:21You going to do the Rothwell and Pierce thing?

00:47:23No, I'm, uh, I'm going to stay here.

00:47:26And you should, too.

00:47:28Mm-hmm.

00:47:28Come on, Wes.

00:47:29You joined this place to change the culture from within.

00:47:32To ensure that justice, not punishment, was our paramount virtue.

00:47:37Remember?

00:47:37It's a very inspirational message that just lost by 23 points.

00:47:41Look, Vivian ran on Tough on Crime.

00:47:44She's going to deliver.

00:47:45Yeah, which is why the city needs people like us here.

00:47:47Now more than ever.

00:47:49Look, we still can make a difference.

00:47:51Sean.

00:47:52You're here already.

00:47:53Let's work together one last time.

00:47:54If at the end of the day you still want to quit, I won't stand any way.

00:47:58This job is where ambition goes to die.

00:48:02Wait, what?

00:48:03Missing persons.

00:48:04It's not a real department.

00:48:05It's a halfway house for cases on the way to real departments.

00:48:09That's a lot of reports for a fake department.

00:48:1290% of these cases will solve themselves.

00:48:14Teenager just needed to blow off steam.

00:48:16A wife went on a bender, came home when she sobered up.

00:48:19Kid fell asleep playing hide-and-seek.

00:48:20I've been on patrol for three years.

00:48:22I know most missing persons reports go nowhere,

00:48:25but there are people in the stack who are victims of real crimes.

00:48:29Crimes with their own departments, like trafficking or homicide.

00:48:33Sorry to interrupt.

00:48:35Homicide once in the graft case.

00:48:36Fisherman found the body, looks like murder.

00:48:39Rest in peace.

00:48:43Okay.

00:48:44Obviously, you know the job way better than I do,

00:48:47but it wouldn't hurt to look through the case files,

00:48:49see if there's anyone we can help.

00:48:52Knock yourself out.

00:48:59This thing drives like a dream.

00:49:02In these seats.

00:49:04Ten minutes in a regular shop, my ass is barking.

00:49:07Well, don't get used to it.

00:49:08You're just here while I work out the kinks.

00:49:10Once Penn is back from training,

00:49:11you're back in the shop and I'm on my own.

00:49:14I have a 415 at 5th and Western.

00:49:16RP reports two shirtless men circling each other.

00:49:19Seven at 100, two blocks away, shows responding.

00:49:22You sure?

00:49:22Sounds like your basic alcohol-fueled slug vest.

00:49:25Yeah, I have to test response times and even the most basic of calls.

00:49:31Captain's calling.

00:49:32Bradford.

00:49:33Can you hold?

00:49:34Yeah, I'll hold.

00:49:39I'll be right there.

00:49:40I got this one.

00:49:43LAPD, you guys break it up.

00:49:46Sorry, he was just called into a meeting.

00:49:48Can you hold just a minute longer?

00:49:49Thanks.

00:49:49No, I'm at...

00:50:01Sorry to keep you waiting.

00:50:03Uh, no problem, sir.

00:50:04We're getting a lot of complaints about vagrants in Stoner Park.

00:50:08I-I've got to say renaming it would be a strong start.

00:50:10It's important that people feel safe in public places.

00:50:13Couldn't agree more.

00:50:14I'll have additional units in the area starting today.

00:50:16Okay, uh, is that it?

00:50:18One more thing.

00:50:18Uh, just want to say your tireless commitment to justice and the people of this...

00:50:23Thank you, sir.

00:50:25Hey, hey, hey, hey.

00:50:27Good job, sir.

00:50:28You supervised the hell out of that.

00:50:30You're still here.

00:50:31And I think I found a workable case.

00:50:33Sadie Bell, 30, was reported missing last week, but according to her best friend Joe,

00:50:38Sadie never misses visitation with her kid on the first Tuesday of every month.

00:50:43Walk with me.

00:50:46Reporting party's address?

00:50:48Uh, 5206th Street.

00:50:50It's a homeless shelter.

00:50:51Joe is unhoused, meaning Sadie's unhoused.

00:50:53Not the most reliable bunch.

00:50:54On the other hand, sir, unhoused women are highly vulnerable to physical and sexual assaults.

00:50:59True, and they're also more likely to be substance abusers who miss things like supervised child visitations.

00:51:05I know.

00:51:06Well, I think it's worth investigating, so what's our first step?

00:51:09Why are you so gung-ho, Officer Horace?

00:51:12And don't just say the indefatigability of youth.

00:51:17Uh, my, uh, sister was abducted when I was a child, sir.

00:51:20I, uh, lived the fear of not knowing where a loved one is.

00:51:25Understandable.

00:51:26And quite noble.

00:51:28But I would caution you that the thousand files in my office are not an unending stack of potential happy

00:51:34endings.

00:51:34For the subset that are not just runaways or miscommunications,

00:51:39the endings are mostly heartbreaking.

00:51:45I haven't had a chance to review the reports, but it's at the top of my list.

00:51:48Okay, I appreciate the reminder.

00:51:52How did Gray make it look so easy?

00:51:54Oh, the scowl helped.

00:51:55Yeah.

00:51:56You don't want to bother that face with anything less than an absolute emergency.

00:52:00My scowl is legendary.

00:52:01It was.

00:52:03But then Lucy moved it.

00:52:06You know what?

00:52:07I take it back.

00:52:09Hey, Dash.

00:52:10Everything all right?

00:52:11Hey, so, lesson for the future.

00:52:13Uh, if somebody asks you if you want to see a dead body, uh, say no.

00:52:17Dash, are you standing over a dead body?

00:52:21Yep.

00:52:24He's been here for at least a day.

00:52:26Won't know how long for sure until T.I.D. gets here and we turn him over.

00:52:29Kenneth Morris.

00:52:31K-Dog?

00:52:32For real?

00:52:33Uh, Kenny's my English teacher.

00:52:35Was my English teacher.

00:52:36Okay, so, uh, who found the body?

00:52:40Uh, Dakota.

00:52:40We're in fourth period together.

00:52:42But I didn't think it was real.

00:52:43She's always gossiping about something.

00:52:45Last week, she told me she was quitting school

00:52:47because she landed some influencer brand deal with Pop-Tarts.

00:52:50Turns out it was just a regional campaign.

00:52:52No offense.

00:52:52It just doesn't seem like, uh, Coastwood is your scene.

00:52:56Oh, it's not.

00:52:57Uh, but my mom said I needed a strong senior year

00:52:59in order to get into a good college.

00:53:01So, she landed an office job here.

00:53:03That way I get a major break on tuition.

00:53:04Dad, not in the picture?

00:53:06No, he kind of lurks in the background like the Babadook,

00:53:09specializing in bad decisions and hot cougars.

00:53:12Right.

00:53:13Uh, so you said Dakota found the body originally?

00:53:15Uh, no, Dakota said CJ told her about it,

00:53:18who heard about it from Ilya and Autumn,

00:53:19who might have heard about it from somebody else.

00:53:23So, how many teenagers came out to the woods,

00:53:26saw a dead body, and did nothing about it

00:53:28except tell their friends?

00:53:29Unknown.

00:53:30But I bet they all took selfies with it.

00:53:32I'm starving.

00:53:33Can I order green juice or something?

00:53:35Your intermittent fest doesn't end until one.

00:53:37We can talk after that.

00:53:39No one is asking you to spy on your friends.

00:53:42No, we have hidden surveillance set up

00:53:44to capture candid conversations.

00:53:45Tight.

00:53:46Uh, but they're not my friends.

00:53:47Oh.

00:53:48How's my hair?

00:53:49It's fine.

00:53:51Who were you trying to impress?

00:53:53No one, Autumn.

00:53:57She's pretty.

00:53:59It's like saying that the hanging gardens of Babylon

00:54:01were cool instead of a feat of unparalleled engineering

00:54:04that redefined elegance and beauty in the ancient world.

00:54:07But I'm a little biased.

00:54:09Clearly.

00:54:10She's nice.

00:54:11Hey, Dash.

00:54:12Do you want to come to my premiere tonight?

00:54:14Uh, yeah, totally.

00:54:16I would love to.

00:54:16No, wait.

00:54:17My publicist said we already did our charity work

00:54:20for the year, so you're out of luck.

00:54:21Sorry.

00:54:24What are you premiering?

00:54:26The new LaPorte film.

00:54:27It's already getting Oscar buzz.

00:54:28Oh.

00:54:29Who do you play in the movie?

00:54:30Young Attic No. 2.

00:54:31No lines, but my featured reactions

00:54:33really carry the film.

00:54:35Oh, by the way, I have a hard-out at three.

00:54:37Glam Squad's coming to my house.

00:54:39Well, we'll try to get you out in time

00:54:41for the full-face shellacking.

00:54:43Do you have a parent or guardian with you?

00:54:44Oh, no, thank you.

00:54:47I was legally emancipated when I was 13,

00:54:49so I could, um, work adult hours on set.

00:54:52I don't need them here.

00:54:54Great.

00:54:55Let's interview you first.

00:54:56Awesome.

00:54:57Please tell me Jack won't be going there.

00:55:00It's not definite, but Jack's preschool

00:55:02is the feeder school for Coastwood.

00:55:05It would be an easy transition.

00:55:08Logistically, maybe, but emotionally.

00:55:10Won't you die a little?

00:55:12Yes, but L.A. elementary schools

00:55:14are more competitive than Stanford,

00:55:15and having an easy path

00:55:17would save hundreds of hours of stress.

00:55:19Yeah, but then he'd be going to school

00:55:20with kids like these.

00:55:22That's where it falls apart.

00:55:23And what can you tell me about Morris?

00:55:25Oh, Kenny was such a sweetie.

00:55:27Even when I had to miss a lot of class last year,

00:55:29he was so chill about it.

00:55:30Why did you have to miss school?

00:55:31I was doing this indie project.

00:55:33We were supposed to premiere at Sundance,

00:55:35but then the director had all these, like,

00:55:38harassment allegations or whatever

00:55:39and got basically blackballed.

00:55:41And now my career has to suffer.

00:55:43Like, did Kenneth have any disagreements

00:55:45with other teachers, faculty?

00:55:47No.

00:55:47I really can't imagine anyone

00:55:49wanting to hurt Ken Ken.

00:55:50It wasn't traditionally attractive, sure,

00:55:52but that's no reason to be murdered.

00:55:54Right?

00:55:57Can I vape in here?

00:55:58I have a note from my therapist.

00:56:00He does.

00:56:00I have it right here.

00:56:02No.

00:56:03Who first told you about the body in the woods?

00:56:05It was Sushi Tuesday,

00:56:07so I was pretty laser-focused

00:56:09on whether I wanted ahi or uni.

00:56:12I think I ended up getting both.

00:56:14Let's focus here.

00:56:16Where did you hear about the body?

00:56:18Well, I remember Autumn mentioning

00:56:20something earlier in the day

00:56:21when she was talking to Ilya,

00:56:23but Ilya said he had heard it from...

00:56:25Zoe, I guess she originally saw something about it

00:56:28in a DM from Lynette

00:56:29when she was going through CJ's phone

00:56:31and given what happened

00:56:32on the school trip last year,

00:56:34it is super sketchy

00:56:35that he was DMing Lynette.

00:56:38Backup.

00:56:39Where do we think the rumor started?

00:56:41Nowhere.

00:56:42Like, everywhere.

00:56:43How are we further from figuring this out

00:56:44than when we started?

00:56:45I call for backup.

00:56:47Hi again.

00:56:48Thank God.

00:56:49A normal teenager.

00:56:50No offense.

00:56:51It's just your classmates tend to be...

00:56:54Overwhelmed by their own champagne problems.

00:56:55I get it.

00:56:56My dysfunction is a little bit more proletariat.

00:56:59Yes, that's one way to put it.

00:57:00Yeah, I don't really hang out with them

00:57:01much outside of school.

00:57:03And that's not just because I didn't make

00:57:05Forbes 20 under 20,

00:57:06but it's definitely a factor.

00:57:07Well, we're not done with the interviews yet,

00:57:09but so far, no one we have talked to

00:57:11has said they're the one who started the rumor.

00:57:13They all claim to have heard it from someone else.

00:57:15Right.

00:57:15So, Reese heard about it from CJ,

00:57:17who heard about it from Zoe,

00:57:18who saw it in a DM from, um...

00:57:21You said that Reese heard about it from CJ?

00:57:23That's what she told us.

00:57:24That doesn't make any sense.

00:57:25They got in a huge fight last week

00:57:27about, you know, whether or not

00:57:28sending nudes to other people counts as cheating.

00:57:30They haven't spoken to each other since,

00:57:32and word in the halls is that

00:57:33Zoe and CJ are the new it couple.

00:57:35Oh, my God.

00:57:35Yes, I was totally picking up on that vibe,

00:57:37but I saw that Zoe wasn't following CJ on Instagram,

00:57:40so I put it from my head.

00:57:41But when I double back to check,

00:57:43it looks like she does follow him,

00:57:45but only with her Finsta.

00:57:46With her Finsta.

00:57:47Yeah.

00:57:48Okay, this is...

00:57:49This is actually all starting to make sense.

00:57:51It is?

00:57:52Um, so Lynette and Emma,

00:57:54they went to the bathroom to do a fit check

00:57:56for their joint Instagram account,

00:57:58and Lynette said that she hears somebody crying

00:58:00in one of the stalls,

00:58:01and she says that it's Reese

00:58:03because she recognizes her leather tabbies.

00:58:06Travis tells Paul in the parking lot

00:58:08that he heard about a dead body

00:58:09from some bitch in first period,

00:58:12and who does he have first period with?

00:58:15Reese.

00:58:15And Dash heard about the body from Dakota,

00:58:18who is Reese's second best friend,

00:58:20but she has been fighting for that number one spot.

00:58:23So, I mean, she would do anything that Reese says.

00:58:26So if Reese told Dakota to lie

00:58:29about where she heard about the body...

00:58:31This is all coming back to Reese.

00:58:33Okay, so is Reese witness zero,

00:58:36or is she the killer?

00:58:39Sadie!

00:58:46Yeah.

00:58:48Okay.

00:58:50You know, that night Sadie went missing,

00:58:53it was pouring rain,

00:58:54and the shelter was full,

00:58:55so I'm thinking she crawled in here

00:58:57to stay dry and got trapped.

00:59:00A couple months ago,

00:59:01I found a bunch of guys

00:59:02living it up in an access tunnel.

00:59:04Electricity, Wi-Fi, the whole thing.

00:59:08They had the right idea.

00:59:09But you also have electricity and Wi-Fi.

00:59:12Yeah, but I have to pay for it.

00:59:14Right.

00:59:15You know, one of those gays,

00:59:17if they locked behind her,

00:59:18she could be trapped

00:59:18or too injured to crawl out.

00:59:20Yeah, but at this point,

00:59:22she's probably dead from dehydration.

00:59:24Like what?

00:59:28Sadie!

00:59:30If you can hear me,

00:59:32make a sound!

00:59:43Desmond.

00:59:44Where are you?

00:59:45I'm inside a service tunnel

00:59:46looking for Sadie.

00:59:47I called the shelter.

00:59:48She showed up this morning.

00:59:49You're kidding.

00:59:50Well, why didn't they call us?

00:59:51They never do.

00:59:52So she was fine this whole time?

00:59:54Yeah, it turns out

00:59:55that her friend had the visitation day wrong.

00:59:57But hey, cheer her up.

00:59:59At least you only wasted your own time.

01:00:04I am so sorry.

01:00:17Oh, hey, Selena.

01:00:20Hey, I heard about the missing person

01:00:22who wasn't missing.

01:00:24Already.

01:00:24I just got back.

01:00:26Smitty was with you.

01:00:27Right.

01:00:28Oh, I'm gonna have a lot of favors

01:00:30after dragging the cavalry

01:00:31through the sewers.

01:00:32Okay, first of all,

01:00:33do not refer to any group

01:00:34that includes Smitty

01:00:35as the cavalry in second.

01:00:37Those guys will forgive you.

01:00:38Or, you know,

01:00:38somebody else will screw up way worse

01:00:40and then they'll be focused on that.

01:00:41Well, I'm kidding.

01:00:42Hey, one misstep

01:00:44does not change the fact

01:00:45that your instincts here

01:00:46are legendary.

01:00:48So just take a second

01:00:49to wallow in this

01:00:50but then get cleaned up

01:00:51and get back out there, yeah?

01:00:52Yeah.

01:00:58Hey.

01:01:00Oh, you're too kind.

01:01:02Yes, I'm really looking forward

01:01:03to working with you as well,

01:01:04Madam Mayor.

01:01:05Okay, bye-bye.

01:01:06Sorry.

01:01:07I've been so busy.

01:01:08Um, before I make

01:01:09the big move upstairs,

01:01:11I wanted to get our house

01:01:12in order.

01:01:13A little bit clear of the deck.

01:01:14So, we have 27 felony arrests,

01:01:18awaiting prosecution.

01:01:19We just do not have the manpower.

01:01:21Take them all to trial.

01:01:22Why?

01:01:23Did you lose some ADAs

01:01:24or something?

01:01:26There's been turnover, yes.

01:01:28So I've got plea deals

01:01:29approved for all these cases

01:01:31and I need you both

01:01:31to get them signed ASAP.

01:01:33Murder, too?

01:01:34This guy robbed a convenience store

01:01:35and the clerk had a heart attack.

01:01:37That is felony manslaughter

01:01:38at best.

01:01:39And a teen who pegged

01:01:40his principal with a football

01:01:41is assault with a deadly weapon?

01:01:43Did the DA sign off on these?

01:01:44I pointed to the significant

01:01:45mandate voters handed me

01:01:47and he agreed.

01:01:48Well, their lawyers

01:01:48are not going to agree

01:01:49to these terms.

01:01:51Make them agree.

01:02:03Apple Pruitt.

01:02:04She lives in my building.

01:02:05Her mother reported her missing

01:02:07a month ago

01:02:07when she didn't return

01:02:08from Coachella.

01:02:10Every year we get a spike

01:02:11in imports after Coachella.

01:02:12This is one time

01:02:13this guy disassociated so hard

01:02:15he reported himself missing.

01:02:16No, but this one's weird.

01:02:18Apple has a strong

01:02:20social media presence

01:02:21but didn't post anything

01:02:22about what happened this year.

01:02:23There was a massive dust storm.

01:02:25They canceled day two

01:02:26at the Sahara tent.

01:02:27I mean, everyone

01:02:28was posting about it.

01:02:29It's not exactly a smoking gun.

01:02:31Okay, listen,

01:02:31I know how this sounds

01:02:32but something is telling me

01:02:33to investigate.

01:02:36I see what's going on.

01:02:37You said she lives

01:02:38in your building?

01:02:39Mm-hmm.

01:02:39Classic move.

01:02:41You take a case

01:02:42near your house

01:02:43so you can investigate it

01:02:44from your living room.

01:02:45When the shift ends,

01:02:46you're just a few steps

01:02:47from your futon.

01:02:48I'm not trying

01:02:49to go home early.

01:02:51That's too bad.

01:02:53I thought you were

01:02:53finally catching on.

01:02:56There's no obvious connection

01:02:58between Reese and Mr. Morris.

01:03:00He did tutor her every week

01:03:01but he tutored

01:03:02a lot of the kids.

01:03:03Yeah, and his Venmo transactions

01:03:04show that he was pulling down

01:03:05six figures on top

01:03:06of his salary.

01:03:07Why is tutoring in quotes?

01:03:09And one of the parents

01:03:11added a winky face emoji.

01:03:15Every student who paid

01:03:17for tutoring got an A.

01:03:18The only kid who was

01:03:19struggling was Dash.

01:03:20Yeah, his mom was barely

01:03:21scraping tuition together.

01:03:22They couldn't afford

01:03:23anything extra.

01:03:24Okay, so the parents

01:03:26are paying for grades

01:03:27so the kids get into

01:03:27a better college

01:03:28but, I mean, why kill him?

01:03:30Maybe he couldn't deliver.

01:03:32If I spent that kind of money

01:03:33and my kid didn't get

01:03:34into their dream school,

01:03:35I'd be pissed.

01:03:38Reese, have you decided

01:03:40what college you're going to?

01:03:41Um, I think I may be

01:03:43taking a gap year.

01:03:44From your social media accounts,

01:03:46it seems like you're

01:03:47all about Yale.

01:03:48That was kind of

01:03:49my mom's thing.

01:03:50But you did apply.

01:03:52Yeah, I applied to

01:03:53lots of places

01:03:54but I didn't get in, so.

01:03:58Was your mom upset?

01:03:59Yeah, I guess.

01:04:02Reese, we know it was you

01:04:03who started the rumor.

01:04:05No, I heard it from CJ.

01:04:06We know that's not true.

01:04:08But you did tell Dakota

01:04:10and Travis and Lynette.

01:04:13You know what that tells me?

01:04:16You wanted someone to know.

01:04:19You wanted the police to know

01:04:20but you just didn't want

01:04:21to be the one to call.

01:04:23It didn't seem right

01:04:24that he was just

01:04:25lying out there.

01:04:27How do you know

01:04:28he'd been killed?

01:04:32I stayed late on Tuesday.

01:04:35My mom wanted to talk

01:04:36to Mr. Morris.

01:04:37She was so angry about Yale.

01:04:39She was yelling at him

01:04:41and he wanted to talk

01:04:42somewhere private

01:04:42so they went out back

01:04:44behind the school.

01:04:46So, I waited and waited

01:04:49and finally my mom came back.

01:04:53Just her.

01:04:55Not him.

01:04:57And her hands were...

01:05:00She wouldn't talk about it

01:05:01but I...

01:05:02I knew she did something.

01:05:07I didn't want any of this to happen.

01:05:09I don't even care about college.

01:05:17Well, at least I know

01:05:18why I was failing the class.

01:05:19Your mom wasn't bribing the teacher.

01:05:21Yeah.

01:05:22Then I never did any homework.

01:05:24Listen, your mom is stuck at school.

01:05:26Things are about as hectic

01:05:27over there as you can imagine

01:05:28so your dad's gonna come

01:05:29take you home.

01:05:31Is that all right?

01:05:32Yeah, it's fine.

01:05:33He shows up every six to eight months

01:05:36to remind everybody

01:05:36where my mom got sole custody.

01:05:38I'm telling you,

01:05:39you cannot lose.

01:05:40You would be a fool not to invest.

01:05:42Hit me up on socials.

01:05:43I will tell you more about it, okay?

01:05:44Hey, this is my guy.

01:05:47How you doing?

01:05:48I still haven't had

01:05:48that grocery yet, huh?

01:05:49I'm pacing myself.

01:05:50Hey, sorry I haven't been around much.

01:05:52Been working crazy hours.

01:05:54But good news,

01:05:55Tiger Bear has one more investor

01:05:57signed on with a non-binding

01:05:58verbal agreement.

01:05:59Tiger Bear?

01:05:59It's a soup.

01:06:00It's a breakfast soup.

01:06:02Dash, come on.

01:06:02No, that was the last one.

01:06:04Tiger Bear Whiskey Tequila

01:06:05is the whisky-less startup.

01:06:06It's gonna be huge.

01:06:08You should get in

01:06:09on the ground floor, champ.

01:06:10I'm telling you,

01:06:10an investment of 10 grand

01:06:11will triple by the end of the year.

01:06:13Guaranteed.

01:06:14You do know your son

01:06:15found one of his teachers

01:06:16dead behind the school gym today.

01:06:18Damn it!

01:06:20Sorry, sorry.

01:06:21Uh, okay.

01:06:22Uh, keep going.

01:06:23So Dash was working out and, uh...

01:06:25Just take me home.

01:06:27Will they have to excavate

01:06:27the passenger seat

01:06:28for parking tickets again, or...?

01:06:30He's joking.

01:06:31I am a model citizen.

01:06:32Don't say that.

01:06:35Dash.

01:06:38I'm around if you need me.

01:06:39So we gotta stop by my place first,

01:06:41but we'll make it a pro app, you know?

01:06:42Or some za.

01:06:43We'll watch last week's UFC.

01:06:45Not a problem.

01:06:47Just the universal unfairness of the world,

01:06:49nothing actionable.

01:06:53Thanks for coming in.

01:06:55This is a plea deal,

01:06:56and before you ask,

01:06:57it's the best deal

01:06:57your client's gonna get.

01:06:58I know, murder too,

01:07:00it seems excessive.

01:07:01I mean, all you did was

01:07:02rob a convenience store.

01:07:03It wasn't your fault

01:07:04that the clerk had a heart attack.

01:07:06The man had end-stage heart disease.

01:07:08Now, a jury could see that

01:07:10as extenuating circumstances.

01:07:12I mean, if the jury was blind,

01:07:14maybe they'd see that as a gang tattoo.

01:07:16But I don't have to risk that possibility

01:07:18if you just say yes to the plea.

01:07:20I mean, who cares?

01:07:20There's no precedent

01:07:21for a felony prosecution this severe.

01:07:23So what if our only witness

01:07:24has been charged with perjury

01:07:26and false accusations

01:07:27in two other cases?

01:07:28I mean, if you think

01:07:29you could do better at trial,

01:07:30you just push that plea deal

01:07:32right back at me.

01:07:55The music is nowhere near too loud.

01:07:58I'm Officer Juarez with LAPD.

01:08:00Yeah, I'm following your roommate,

01:08:01Apple Pruitt's case.

01:08:02Yeah, she hasn't come home, right?

01:08:04No.

01:08:05No, I'm, I'm, I'm pretty sick.

01:08:08Do you mind if I come inside?

01:08:10Sure.

01:08:11Yeah, of course.

01:08:13Hmm.

01:08:17I've actually been boxing up Apple's things all day.

01:08:20It's officially 30 days tomorrow.

01:08:22I just, I need someone else in here

01:08:24to help me with this crazy rent.

01:08:26Not that Apple is great about paying.

01:08:29She doesn't believe in money

01:08:31or monogamy or cleaning.

01:08:34She sounds like a lot.

01:08:35Oh, I mean, don't get me wrong.

01:08:37She was, is, um, one of my favorite people.

01:08:41Just not the greatest at cohabitation.

01:08:44Right.

01:08:45And the last time you saw her

01:08:47was right before she left for Coachella?

01:08:49She left going,

01:08:49even though she had her issues before.

01:08:52I mean, bad drugs and aggressive guys.

01:08:55She definitely had some scares.

01:08:58And you think that's what happened to her?

01:08:59I, I don't know.

01:09:01Um, I mean, I, I'm just trying to be helpful.

01:09:05But I'm desperate for you to find her.

01:09:08Do you mind if I take a look at her bedroom?

01:09:11Yeah, no problem.

01:09:12It's, uh, it's right over there.

01:09:29I, I mean, like, you know,

01:10:06Star! I'm sorry! Sorry! It's not what you think!

01:10:25Hey! Hold it!

01:10:57This is Officer Juarez, badge number 53397.

01:11:00I'm code 4 with a possible 245 suspect.

01:11:03Also suspected of an 187 sent backup.

01:11:06I need an RATID to my location.

01:11:11You don't understand.

01:11:13She was the worst roommate ever!

01:11:18I'm pretty sure you're the worst roommate ever.

01:11:23So, this is just temporary.

01:11:26But the money train is chugging into the station.

01:11:30Then I'm gonna be playing the how many square feet is too many square feet game.

01:11:34Want some?

01:11:35Uh, no thanks. I just shotgunned some gasoline.

01:11:37Uh-uh.

01:11:47Oh god. I had some serious stuff.

01:11:50Hey, um, so this fancy private school of yours...

01:11:53Where a teacher was just murdered?

01:11:54Really?

01:11:55How have you not been paying attention?

01:11:58Never mind. Of course you're out.

01:11:59All I'm saying is, you're in the perfect spot to help your dear old dad raise some cash money capital.

01:12:04I'm having supply issues in the Czech Republic.

01:12:07But they specialize in neither whiskey nor chicken.

01:12:09Okay, that is besides the point.

01:12:10Anyways, you would be helping out the family if I can get you to make a few introductions.

01:12:15If I say I'll think about it, will you take me home?

01:12:18Come on, what's the rush? Party's just getting started.

01:12:22Gus! I know you're in there. Open the damn door.

01:12:29We're gonna go out the window.

01:12:30No, we're not.

01:12:32I can hear you in there. Open the door or we kick it in.

01:12:34Uh, okay. Um, so a few of my friends are here.

01:12:39Um, you gotta go hide.

01:12:41Why would I hide from your friends? Just go. Go.

01:12:44And don't come out. No matter what.

01:12:53Dash?

01:12:54I think I might be in some trouble.

01:12:59Fellas.

01:13:00Wait, wait, wait, wait. I'm sorry about the confusion.

01:13:02Your money, it's being transferred.

01:13:04It's just the act, you know? It takes a few days, so...

01:13:08Okay, where are you?

01:13:09Uh, the closet. Dad's apartment.

01:13:12They're beating him up.

01:13:14I can get your money just one more day.

01:13:16Like, two times.

01:13:17Wait, wait, wait, wait, no.

01:13:19All right, stay hidden until we get there.

01:13:21I can't.

01:13:23They'll kill him. I have to do something.

01:13:25No, Dash. Dash, no.

01:13:31I don't know how you can get your money.

01:13:33What the hell is this?

01:13:34It's, uh, my neighbor. He waters my plants.

01:13:40You are such a liar.

01:13:42Although lying to protect your kid is almost no room.

01:13:45Be ashamed if I have to break all his teeth.

01:13:47Stomp both his ends in a suit.

01:13:49Pass. And pass.

01:13:52How about we go with my plan instead?

01:13:54Rob a bunch of rich kids that go to my school?

01:13:56Who wants a Rolex?

01:14:00You better not be lying, kid.

01:14:03Your dad is out of free passes.

01:14:06Let's go.

01:14:13Dash would never knowingly put someone in danger.

01:14:16So we track down whether any school families are out of town.

01:14:19The Laporte premiere.

01:14:20He's a pretentious auteur filmmaker.

01:14:23His new movie launches tonight.

01:14:24Autumn Harrington is in it.

01:14:25That's the girl that Dash has a crush on.

01:14:27Her address is in the system.

01:14:33Damn, who is this chick?

01:14:35Autumn?

01:14:35She's an up-and-coming IT girl.

01:14:37Her new project's getting Oscar buzz.

01:14:39Yeah?

01:14:40Well, let's hope she get paid in diamond bracelets.

01:14:43You know, stuff that's easy to pawn.

01:14:45Otherwise, you and your dad gonna find out what the landfill tastes like.

01:14:50Out.

01:14:55Stay with Gus until I give you the signal, all right?

01:15:01Man, for what it's worth,

01:15:02your dad is the biggest train wrecker I ever met.

01:15:05My old man, he in prison.

01:15:07Trying to steal a FedEx plane with a tow truck.

01:15:09Well, if you're the ghost of my future self,

01:15:11I might just have to Virginia Woolf it.

01:15:14I don't know what that mean.

01:15:15She was arguably the most influential writer of the 20th century.

01:15:19Ended it all by walking into a river with rocks in her pockets.

01:15:24Nobody likes a comedian, kid.

01:15:27I'd argue, but the gun gives you the last word.

01:15:32Hey, if this is set up, I'm killing everybody. Got it?

01:15:35Yes, sir.

01:15:41You're not my agadashi tofu.

01:15:44You're not supposed to be here.

01:15:45Well, you cut me out of the movies.

01:15:46I wasn't on the list.

01:15:48Do you know how mortifying that...

01:15:50Who the hell are you?

01:15:51Hey, who else in the house?

01:15:52Nobody.

01:15:53My parents are in Monaco.

01:15:55All right.

01:15:56Get over here.

01:15:57I... I don't want to.

01:15:59No problem.

01:15:59I'll just shoot you.

01:16:06Go dance.

01:16:07What? Why?

01:16:08Whoa.

01:16:09It's even bigger on the inside.

01:16:11See, this is the kind of place I'm gonna get when I get paid.

01:16:14Hey, man, shut up!

01:16:16Stay down here with the idiot, all right?

01:16:17Steal anything that's shiny.

01:16:22Now, take me to your parents' room, and they better have a boatload of watches and jury.

01:16:25Hey, hey, hey.

01:16:26Whoa, those whiskey bottles worth like 500 each.

01:16:28I'm just gonna grab a couple.

01:16:29Show me.

01:16:36How about this?

01:16:37The Merlot, really?

01:16:38No, dude, those two are worth way more.

01:16:50All right, all right.

01:17:20How about this?

01:17:25What about this?

01:17:26The Merlot, really?

01:17:26How about this?

01:17:29Hey, hey! Stay here!

01:17:36Okay.

01:17:42I cannot believe you brought them to my house.

01:17:44I panicked, okay? They were gonna kill my dad.

01:17:47Besides, you weren't supposed to be here.

01:17:49I would never knowingly put you in danger.

01:17:51Because you have the odds for me.

01:17:52I have romantic intentions, yeah, but clearly you don't share them, so...

01:17:57Well, I mean, it's not like you're not cute. You're just...

01:18:01Poor?

01:18:01Exactly.

01:18:08What are you doing?

01:18:09Looking for a gun.

01:18:10Oh, that's not a gun.

01:18:12Oh.

01:18:13Your parents are freaky.

01:18:14What the hell are you doing? Get away from there!

01:18:17Oh, sorry.

01:18:18Sorry.

01:18:20I am never gonna be able to look my parents in the eye again.

01:18:24Me neither.

01:18:25Hey, Andre wouldn't really hurt my kid, right?

01:18:28This is a scare tactic.

01:18:29I mean, I know I'm not a great dad, but I try, you know?

01:18:33When it's convenient for me.

01:18:36Like, I want to be better.

01:18:37Like, I really do. I think about it all the time.

01:18:40Well, not all the time.

01:18:42It's not the heart of the problem, really.

01:18:45I just gotta be better.

01:18:46The kid deserves a role model,

01:18:48not the flaming hot mess I am on a daily basis.

01:18:52It feels really good to come clean about this, you know?

01:18:54It's kind of cathartic.

01:18:55Hey, Cass!

01:18:56When the hell did you get here?

01:18:57Where's Dash?

01:18:59Let's go.

01:18:59No, she's staying here.

01:19:01She hasn't seen your face, so you're in the clear.

01:19:03Just, you can do whatever you want to be, just let her go.

01:19:05Hey, man, you got balls, kid.

01:19:06Unlike your father, but she cannot stay here, all right?

01:19:08Let's go!

01:19:09There's a gold bar in that bedside table.

01:19:11Yeah, right.

01:19:12I'm serious.

01:19:13But if you want to leave it, like...

01:19:15All right, stay right here.

01:19:16Don't move.

01:19:20Oh!

01:19:23Get back!

01:19:24Drop it!

01:19:27Come on, get up.

01:19:29Come on.

01:19:30Hey, you okay?

01:19:32Physically.

01:19:34There, give me this.

01:19:36Come here.

01:19:38Ow!

01:19:39Thanks.

01:19:40And thanks for trying to save me.

01:19:43Yeah, anytime.

01:19:44Oh!

01:19:45Thank God.

01:19:48Although, I knew it was all going to be all right.

01:19:50Hey, um, maybe we don't tell your mom about this.

01:19:53You know, we just keep it a bro thing.

01:19:54Stop!

01:19:55Just stop.

01:19:57Everything that you do, everything that you say,

01:19:58is just so selfish, so toxic.

01:20:02You haven't done one fatherly thing for me in my entire life.

01:20:05All you care about is yourself, and I'm just sick of it.

01:20:09I'm done with you.

01:20:11Forever.

01:20:12What?

01:20:12Okay.

01:20:21So we met with all 27 defendants.

01:20:24It's the craziest thing.

01:20:25We tried our hardest.

01:20:26None of them would accept a plea deal.

01:20:28Not a one.

01:20:29Hmm.

01:20:29Well, I hope you've kept your weekends clear,

01:20:31because now you've got 27 trials

01:20:32you're gonna need to prepare for.

01:20:33Hmm.

01:20:35About that, I quit.

01:20:38And I'd say best of luck,

01:20:40but I hope you fail spectacularly.

01:20:43Sorry, Sean, I just can't.

01:20:44No, no worries.

01:20:45I can't either.

01:20:47I quit, too.

01:20:49Ah.

01:20:49Hey, what do you think of the law firm

01:20:51of Del Monte and Evers?

01:20:52Well, you haven't worked a day in your life

01:20:53as a defense attorney.

01:20:54Evers and Del Monte.

01:20:57Turn to the right, way ahead of you.

01:20:59Not my first radio.

01:21:01Now we just need your clothes for evidence

01:21:03and then, uh, for you to go.

01:21:07After everything that happened?

01:21:09The DA may still press charges,

01:21:11but it was pretty clear you were under duress.

01:21:14I really wanted this town to be different.

01:21:16I was gonna buy a dash of car

01:21:18with the Tiger Bear money.

01:21:19I looked to make up for lost time, you know?

01:21:22But he's right.

01:21:23I screw everything up.

01:21:25He's better off without me.

01:21:26Probably.

01:21:29I've had some experience with bad fathers

01:21:31and the love the sons feel for them

01:21:34no matter how many times

01:21:35they get their hearts broken.

01:21:37And unless you're willing to change,

01:21:39and I mean really change,

01:21:43the best thing you can do for Dash

01:21:44is just leave him the hell alone.

01:21:56What were you thinking?

01:21:59I'm fine.

01:22:00Thanks for asking.

01:22:01Do you know how close you were

01:22:02to becoming a missing person yourself?

01:22:03If she would have succeeded in killing you,

01:22:05how would I have known?

01:22:06First thing she'd do is destroy your phone.

01:22:08So when I pulled to your last known location,

01:22:10it would be your building.

01:22:12So to me and the world,

01:22:13you were home and then you vanished.

01:22:16I see that now.

01:22:17It's just I figured I'd stop by

01:22:18and ask a few questions.

01:22:20We have protocols for a reason.

01:22:23Yes, sir.

01:22:26I let my best intentions obscure my judgment,

01:22:29proving I still have a lot to learn about this job.

01:22:33But if I can be so bold as to ask a favor...

01:22:40You can ask.

01:22:43I remain undaunted.

01:22:45So if a file comes across your desk

01:22:47that gives you a feeling, call me.

01:22:50I am happy to run down any lead I can for you,

01:22:53free of charge.

01:22:59Deal.

01:23:01And for what it's worth,

01:23:04I'm glad you're okay.

01:23:05I made all these mistakes,

01:23:07but I made them mine.

01:23:20Your dad's gone,

01:23:22and your mom's on her way.

01:23:23Cool.

01:23:26You want to talk about anything?

01:23:29Uh, not really.

01:23:31I think I'm a little talked out for once.

01:23:35Understood.

01:23:38You're not at the risk of sounding overly earnest.

01:23:42You're a very special young man.

01:23:45Despite, or maybe even because

01:23:48of what your father's put you through.

01:23:51Now, I know you know that you're not him

01:23:53in any way, shape, or form.

01:23:57But I also know that family pain

01:23:59is emotional and not intellectual.

01:24:06I'm just trying to say,

01:24:08if you ever need a reminder

01:24:10of this conversation,

01:24:12you have my number.

01:24:14Thanks.

01:24:16And just to be clear,

01:24:18you're saying I can call you

01:24:18every morning at the crack of dawn

01:24:20just to tell me I'm awesome?

01:24:21No.

01:24:23Every other morning.

01:24:24Twice a week, final offer.

01:24:26I can live with that.

01:24:27If you can live with unlimited text,

01:24:29DMs, and social media shout-outs.

01:24:32Just the calls.

01:24:34Okay.
