00:02What is Tim going to show us?
00:04He'll kill me if I ruin the surprise.
00:06It's not a waffle truck, I asked.
00:09Welcome.
00:10Why don't you guys be the first to see my new office?
00:12Look, if I'm going to be a more out-on-the-streetwatch commander,
00:15I need to take my office with me.
00:16Is this the new Interceptor utility vehicle?
00:19It is.
00:20700 horsepower, 8,000-pound towing capacity,
00:23level 4 ballistic door panels,
00:25dark mode, and 270-degree monitoring
00:28to analyze moving objects with potential threat levels.
00:30Calls it a super shop.
00:31It's a working title.
00:33See what we got.
00:34Hats and bats, infrared camera,
00:37breaching tools.
00:39I have.
00:40Two 32-inch screens.
00:41Wow.
00:43Can I be watch commander?
00:44No, but you are riding with me today.
00:46Oh, wait, show them droning.
00:48Oh, yeah.
00:49Check this out.
00:58Isn't he cute?
00:59Hey.
01:00Really?
01:00Yeah.
01:01Look, super shop makes the Batmobile look like a kitty toy.
01:04And I can control it all right here from my phone.
01:09See?
01:12Damn it.
01:14Whoa, whoa.
01:14Damn it.
01:17Playing Tim's Pump-Up Jazz.
01:19Down!
01:19No, no, no.
01:20Stop.
01:20Stop.
01:21Stop.
01:22Stop.
01:23Stop.
01:23Stop.
01:25Stop.
01:31It's not going to be as easy as you think.
01:33Based on this morning's demonstration, I'm well aware.
01:35It's not just that you're taking the watch commander duties on patrol.
01:39You're also exposing yourself to chain of command confusion when you land at a scene,
01:44even if you stay in the SUV.
01:45Super shop.
01:47It's a working thing.
01:54Morning.
01:55Morning.
01:55All right, listen up.
01:57We're going to do things a little different today.
01:59There'll be two supervisors out on the street, Sergeant Chen and myself.
02:05I know, I know, no one wants the boss showing up to their calls, second guessing their every
02:10move.
02:10That is not my intention, okay?
02:12Nothing has to change.
02:13I just put wheels on my office.
02:15While we work out the details, Officer Nolan will be riding with me to help facilitate the
02:19transition.
02:20Any questions?
02:22Can I pick a playlist?
02:25Dump question.
02:26All right, second order of business.
02:28Officer Juarez will be on temporary duty assignment with the Detectives Bureau.
02:32Did you choose your focus?
02:33Yes.
02:34Missing persons.
02:36Oof.
02:37You sure about that?
02:38Yeah.
02:39Your call?
02:40All right, I have some updates from the night shift.
02:42This missing person's really not bad.
02:45Detective Desmond has a reputation.
02:47Like a Harper reputation?
02:50No, um, opposite.
02:53Last day at the DA's office.
02:55Excited?
02:56I'm relieved.
02:56When the DA had one foot in retirement, now that Vivian's DA elect, she's gonna have free
03:00reign.
03:01None of that will matter once you quit and open a private practice in Malibu with a view
03:05of the ocean.
03:05Uh, with that commute, you'd never see me again.
03:08Well, in my dream, I also work in Malibu.
03:11I have a robot helicopter that flies the kids to school.
03:14And a pony.
03:15Well, sorry to kill another one of your dreams, but I already reached out to my old landlord,
03:18and the only view from that office is to eat the open place on the first floor.
03:21Oh, before you go, make sure you pass off my cases to the right prosecutors.
03:25Daniels doesn't touch homicide.
03:27Give mine to Cosgrove.
03:28He is solid.
03:29That might be an issue.
03:30Cosgrove just quit.
03:31I gotta go.
03:31Good luck.
03:33Wesley, so good to see you.
03:35Yeah, right.
03:36I'm serious.
03:37No hard feelings on my end.
03:38Yeah, because you destroyed me.
03:39Well, exactly.
03:40I made good on the promise I made you when you threw your hat in the ring.
03:42It's nothing personal.
03:43In fact, I agree with you on a lot of the issues, and I know that together we can take
03:47the DA's
03:48office in a positive direction.
03:49Mm-hmm.
03:49Mm-hmm.
03:51You're not gonna fall for that, are you?
03:54No.
03:54I was about to hand in my resignation letter.
03:56Well, she won't accept it.
03:57With Cosgrove, Garcia, and Martin already out, she can't afford to lose anyone else.
04:01Martin quit?
04:01Keyed her car on the way out.
04:03A hero to us all.
04:05Come on.
04:09Hey, sorry about the election.
04:10That should have been me facing Vivian.
04:12You were handed a poison chalice.
04:14I drank from it willingly.
04:16How's Logan?
04:17He's good.
04:18You know, he just got another chip.
04:20But he's been clean now almost four months.
04:23That's great.
04:24Yeah.
04:25What about you?
04:26You gonna do the Rothwell and Pierce thing?
04:28No, I'm, uh...
04:30I'm gonna stay here.
04:31And you should, too.
04:32Mm-hmm.
04:33Come on, Wes.
04:33You joined this place to change the culture from within.
04:37To ensure that justice, not punishment, was our paramount virtue.
04:41Remember?
04:42It's a very inspirational message that just lost by 23 points.
04:46Look, Vivian ran on tough on crime.
04:48She's gonna deliver.
04:49Yeah, which is why the city needs people like us here.
04:52Now more than ever.
04:54Look, we still can make a difference.
04:56Sean.
04:56You're here already.
04:57Let's work together one last time.
04:59If at the end of the day you still want to quit, I won't stand anyway.
05:03This job is where ambition goes to die.
05:06Wait, what?
05:07Missing persons.
05:08It's not a real department.
05:10It's a halfway house for cases on the way to real departments.
05:14That's, uh, that's a lot of reports for a fake department.
05:16Ninety percent of these cases will solve themselves.
05:19Teenager just needed to blow off steam.
05:20A wife went on a bender, came home when she sobered up.
05:23Kid fell asleep playing hide-and-seek.
05:25Well, I've been on patrol for three years.
05:27I know most missing persons reports go nowhere, but there are people in the stack who are victims of real
05:33crimes.
05:34Crimes with their own departments, like trafficking or homicide.
05:38Sorry to interrupt.
05:39Homicide wants some graph case.
05:41Fisherman found the body, looks like murder.
05:43Rest in peace.
05:47Okay, obviously you know the job way better than I do, but it wouldn't hurt to look through the case
05:54files, see if there's anyone we can help.
05:56Knock yourself out.
06:04This thing drives like a dream.
06:06In these seats.
06:08Ten minutes in a regular shop, my ass is barking.
06:11Yeah, but don't get used to it. You're just here while I work out the kinks.
06:15Once Penn is back from training, you're back in the shop and I'm on my own.
06:18I have a 415 at 5th and Western. RP reports two shirtless men circling each other.
06:24Seven at 100, two blocks away shows responding.
06:26You sure? Sounds like your basic alcohol-fueled slugfest.
06:30Yeah, I have to test response times and even the most basic of calls.
06:35Captain's calling.
06:37Bradford.
06:38Can you hold?
06:39Yeah, I'll hold.
06:44I'll be right there.
06:45I got this one.
06:48LAPD, you guys break it up.
06:51Sorry, he was just called into a meeting. Can you hold just a minute longer?
06:54Thanks.
06:54No, I'm at...
07:06Sorry to keep you waiting.
07:08No problem, sir.
07:09We're getting a lot of complaints about vagrants in Stoner Park.
07:12I've got to say, renaming it would be a strong start.
07:15It's important that people feel safe in public places.
07:18Couldn't agree more. I'll have additional units in the area starting today.
07:21Okay, uh, is that it?
07:22One more thing.
07:23I just want to say your tireless commitment to justice and the people of this...
07:27Thank you, sir.
07:29Hey, hey, hey, hey.
07:31Good job, sir.
07:33You supervised the hell out of that.
07:35You're still here.
07:36And I think I found a workable case.
07:38Sadie Bell, 30, was reported missing last week, but according to her best friend Joe,
07:43Sadie never misses visitation with her kid on the first Tuesday of every month.
07:48Walk with me.
07:50Reporting party's address?
07:52Uh, 5206th Street?
07:54It's a homeless shelter.
07:56Joe is unhoused, meaning Sadie's unhoused.
07:58Not the most reliable bunch.
07:59On the other hand, sir, unhoused women are highly vulnerable to physical and sexual assaults.
08:04True, and they're also more likely to be substance abusers who miss things like supervised child visitations.
08:10I know.
08:11Well, I think it's worth investigating, so what's our first step?
08:14Why are you so gung-ho, Officer Morris?
08:16And don't just say the indefatigability of youth.
08:21Uh, my, uh, sister was abducted when I was a child, sir.
08:25I, uh, lived the fear of not knowing where a loved one is.
08:30Understandable.
08:31And quite noble.
08:32But I would caution you that the thousand files in my office are not an unending stack of potential happy
08:38endings.
08:39For the subset that are not just runaways or miscommunications, the endings are mostly heartbreaking.
08:49I haven't had a chance to review the reports, but it's at the top of my list.
08:53Okay, I appreciate the reminder.
08:57How did Greg make it look so easy?
08:59Oh, the scowl helped.
09:00Yeah.
09:01You don't want to bother that face with anything less than an absolute emergency.
09:04My scowl is legendary.
09:06It was.
09:07But then Lucy moved in.
09:10You know what?
09:11I take it back.
09:14Hey, Dash, everything all right?
09:16Hey, so, lesson for the future.
09:18Uh, if somebody asks you if you want to see a dead body, uh, say no.
09:22Dash, are you standing over a dead body?
09:26Yep.
09:28He's been here for at least a day.
09:30Won't know how long for sure until T.I.D. gets here and we turn him over.
09:33Kenneth Morris.
09:35K-Dog?
09:36For real?
09:37Uh, Kenny's my English teacher.
09:39Was my English teacher.
09:40Okay, so, uh, who found the body?
09:44Uh, Dakota.
09:44We're in fourth period together, but I didn't think it was real.
09:47She's always gossiping about something.
09:49Last week, she told me she was quitting school because she landed some influencer brand deal with Pop-Tarts.
09:54Turns out it was just a regional campaign.
09:56No offense, it just doesn't seem like, uh, Coastwood is your scene.
10:00Oh, it's not.
10:01Uh, but my mom said I needed a strong senior year in order to get into a good college.
10:05So, she landed an office job here.
10:07That way I got a major break on tuition.
10:08Dad, not in the picture?
10:09No, he kind of lurks in the background like the Babadook, specializing in bad decisions and hot cougars.
10:16Right.
10:17Uh, so you said Dakota found the body originally?
10:19Uh, no, Dakota said CJ told her about it, who heard about it from Ilya and Autumn, who might have
10:24heard about it from somebody else.
10:27So, how many teenagers came out to the woods, saw a dead body, and did nothing about it except tell
10:32their friends?
10:33Unknown, but I bet they all took selfies with it.
10:36I'm starving.
10:37Could I order cream juice or something?
10:39Your intimate and fast doesn't end until one.
10:41We can talk after that.
10:43No one is asking you to spy on your friends.
10:46No, we have hidden surveillance set up to capture candid conversations.
10:49Tight.
10:50Uh, but they're not my friends.
10:51Oh.
10:52How's my hair?
10:54It's fine.
10:55Who were you trying to impress?
10:57No one, Autumn.
11:02She's pretty.
11:03It's like saying that the hanging gardens of Babylon were cool instead of a feat of unparalleled engineering that redefined
11:09elegance and beauty in the ancient world.
11:12But I'm a little biased.
11:13Clearly.
11:14She's nice.
11:15Hey, Dash.
11:16Do you want to come to my premiere tonight?
11:18Uh, yeah, totally.
11:20I would love to.
11:20No, wait.
11:21My publicist said we already did our charity work for the year, so you're out of luck.
11:25Sorry.
11:28What are you premiering?
11:30The new La Porte film.
11:31It's already getting Oscar buzz.
11:32Oh.
11:32Who do you play in the movie?
11:34Young Attic No. 2.
11:35No lines, but my featured reactions really carry the film.
11:39Oh, by the way, I have a hard-out at three glam squads coming to my house.
11:43Well, we'll try to get you out in time for the full-face shellacking.
11:47Do you have a parent or guardian with you?
11:48Oh.
11:49No, thank you.
11:50I was legally emancipated when I was 13, so I could, um, work adult hours on set.
11:57I don't need them here.
11:58Great.
11:59Let's interview you first.
12:00Awesome.
12:01Please tell me Jack won't be going there.
12:04It's not definite, but Jack's preschool is the feeder school for Coastwood.
12:09It would be an easy transition.
12:12Logistically, maybe, but emotionally.
12:14Won't you die a little?
12:16Yes, but L.A. elementary schools are more competitive than Stanford, and having an easy path would save hundreds of
12:22hours of stress.
12:23Yeah, but then he'd be going to school with kids like these.
12:26That's where it falls apart.
12:27And what can you tell me about Morris?
12:29Oh, Kenny was such a sweetie.
12:31Even when I had to miss a lot of class last year, he was so chill about it.
12:34Why did you have to miss school?
12:35I was doing this indie project.
12:37We were supposed to premiere at Sundance, but then the director had all these, like, harassment allegations or whatever, and
12:44got basically blackballed.
12:45And now my career has to suffer.
12:47Like, did Kenneth have any disagreements with other teachers, faculty?
12:51No.
12:51I really can't imagine anyone wanting to hurt Ken Ken.
12:54It wasn't traditionally attractive, sure, but that's no reason to be murdered.
12:58Right?
13:01Can I vape in here?
13:02I have a note from my therapist.
13:04He does.
13:04I have it right here.
13:06No.
13:07Who first told you about the body in the woods?
13:09It was Sushi Tuesday, so I was pretty laser-focused on whether I wanted ahi or uni.
13:16I think I ended up getting both.
13:18Let's focus here.
13:20Where did you hear about the body?
13:22Well, I remember Autumn mentioning something earlier in the day when she was talking to Ilya.
13:27But Ilya said he had heard it from...
13:29Zoe.
13:30I guess she originally saw something about it in a DM from Lynette when she was going through CJ's phone.
13:35And given what happened on the school trip last year, it is super sketchy that he was DMing Lynette.
13:42Backup.
13:43Where do we think the rumor started?
13:45Nowhere.
13:46Like, everywhere.
13:47How are we further from figuring this out than when we started?
13:49I call for backup.
13:51Hi again.
13:52Thank God.
13:53Normal teenager.
13:54No offense.
13:55It's just your classmates tend to be...
13:58Overwhelmed by their own champagne problems.
13:59I get it.
14:00My dysfunction is a little bit more proletariat.
14:03Yes, that's one way to put it.
14:04Yeah, I don't really hang out with them much outside of school.
14:07And that's not just because I didn't make Forbes 20 under 20, but it's definitely a factor.
14:11Well, we're not done with the interviews yet, but so far no one we have talked to has said they're
14:15the one who started the rumor.
14:16They all claim to have heard it from someone else.
14:19Right.
14:19So, Reese heard about it from CJ, who heard about it from Zoe, who saw it in a DM from,
14:25um...
14:25You said that Reese heard about it from CJ?
14:27That's what she told us.
14:28Uh, that doesn't make any sense.
14:30They got in a huge fight last week about, you know, whether or not sending nudes to other people counts
14:34as cheating.
14:34They haven't spoken to each other since, and word in the hall is that Zoe and CJ are the new
14:38Ick couple.
14:39Oh my god, yes.
14:40I was totally picking up on that vibe, but I saw that Zoe wasn't following CJ on Instagram, so I
14:44put it from my head.
14:45But when I double back to check, it looks like she does follow him, but only with her Finsta.
14:50With her Finsta.
14:51Yeah.
14:52Okay, this is...
14:53This is actually all starting to make sense.
14:55It is?
14:56Um, so Lynette and Emma, they went to the bathroom to do a fit check for their joint Instagram account,
15:02and Lynette said that she hears somebody crying in one of the stalls,
15:05and she says that it's Reese because she recognizes her leather cabbies.
15:10Travis tells Paul in the parking lot that he heard about a dead body from some bitch in first period,
15:16and who does he have first period with?
15:19Reese.
15:19And Dash heard about the body from Dakota, who is Reese's second best friend,
15:24but she has been fighting for that number one spot,
15:27so, I mean, she would do anything that Reese says.
15:30So, if Reese told Dakota to lie about where she heard about the body...
15:35This is all coming back to Reese.
15:37Okay, so is Reese witness zero, or is she the killer?
15:43Sadie!
15:50Yeah.
15:52Okay.
15:54You know, that night Sadie went missing, it was pouring rain, and the shelter was full,
15:59so I'm thinking she crawled in here to stay dry and got trapped.
16:04A couple months ago, I found a bunch of guys living it up in an access tunnel.
16:09Electricity, Wi-Fi, the whole thing.
16:12They had the right idea.
16:14But you also have electricity and Wi-Fi.
16:16Yeah, but I have to pay for it.
16:19You know, one of those gays, if they locked behind her,
16:22she could be trapped or too injured to crawl out.
16:24Yeah, but at this point, she's probably dead from dehydration.
16:28Wait, what?
16:33Sadie!
16:34If you can hear me, make a sound!
16:47Desmond.
16:48Where are you?
16:49I'm inside a service tunnel looking for Sadie.
16:51I called the shelter.
16:52She showed up this morning.
16:53You're kidding.
16:54Well, why didn't they call us?
16:55They never do.
16:56So she was fine this whole time?
16:58Yeah, it turns out that her friend had the visitation date wrong.
17:01But, hey, cheer her up.
17:03At least you only wasted your own time.
17:08I am so sorry.
17:19Oh, hey, Selena.
17:22Hey, I heard about the missing person who wasn't missing.
17:26Already.
17:26I just got back.
17:27Smitty was with you.
17:29Right.
17:30Oh, I'm gonna have a lot of favors after dragging the cavalry through the sewers.
17:34Okay, first of all, do not refer to any group that includes Smitty as the cavalry.
17:38And second, those guys will forgive you.
17:40Or, you know, somebody else will screw up way worse and then they'll be focused on that.
17:43Well, I'm kidding.
17:44Hey.
17:45One misstep does not change the fact that your instincts here are legendary.
17:50So just take a second to wallow in this, but then get cleaned up and get back out there, yeah?
17:54Yeah.
18:00Hey.
18:02Oh, you're too kind.
18:04Yes, I'm really looking forward to working with you as well, Madam Mayor.
18:07Okay, bye-bye.
18:08Sorry.
18:09I've been so busy.
18:10Um, before I make the big move upstairs, I wanted to get our house in order.
18:14A little bit clear of the deck.
18:16So, we have 27 felony arrests.
18:20Waiting prosecution.
18:21We just do not have the manpower.
18:23I'm gonna take them all to trial.
18:24Why?
18:24Did you lose some ADAs or something?
18:28There's been turnover, yes.
18:30So I've got plea deals approved for all these cases, and I need you both to get them signed ASAP.
18:35Murder, too?
18:36This guy robbed a convenience store and the clerk had a heart attack.
18:38That is felony manslaughter at best.
18:41And a teen who pegged his principal with a football is assault with a deadly weapon?
18:45Did the DA sign off on these?
18:46I pointed to the significant mandate voters handed me, and he agreed.
18:50Well, their lawyers are not going to agree to these terms.
18:52Oh.
18:53Make them agree.
19:05Apple Pruitt.
19:06She lives in my building.
19:07Her mother reported her missing a month ago when she didn't return from Coachella.
19:11Every year, we get a spike in reports after Coachella.
19:14This is one time this guy disassociated so hard, he reported himself missing.
19:18No, but this one's weird.
19:20Apple has a strong social media presence, but didn't post anything about what happened this year.
19:25There was a massive dust storm.
19:27They canceled day two at the Sahara tent.
19:29I mean, everyone was posting about it.
19:31It's not exactly a smoking gun.
19:33Okay, listen, I know how this sounds, but something is telling me to investigate.
19:38I see what's going on.
19:39You said she lives in your building?
19:41Mm-hmm.
19:41Classic move.
19:43You take a case near your house so you can investigate it from your living room.
19:47When the shift ends, you're just a few steps from your futon.
19:50I'm not trying to go home early.
19:53That's too bad.
19:54I thought you were finally catching on.
19:58There's no obvious connection between Reese and Mr. Morris.
20:02He did tutor her every week, but he tutored a lot of the kids.
20:05Yeah, and his Venmo transactions show that he was pulling down six figures on top of his salary.
20:09Why is tutoring in quotes?
20:11And one of the parents added a winky face emoji.
20:17Every student who paid for tutoring got an A.
20:20The only kid who was struggling was Dash.
20:22Yeah, his mom was barely scraping tuition together.
20:24They couldn't afford anything extra.
20:26Okay, so the parents are paying for grades, so the kids get into a better college.
20:30But, I mean, why kill him?
20:32Maybe he couldn't deliver.
20:34If I spent that kind of money and my kid didn't get into their dream school, I'd be pissed.
20:40Reese, have you decided what college you're going to?
20:43Um, I think I may be taking a gap year.
20:46From your social media accounts, it seems like you're all about Yale.
20:50That was kind of my mom's thing.
20:52But you did apply.
20:54Yeah, I applied to lots of places, but I didn't get in, so.
20:59Was your mom upset?
21:01Yeah, I guess.
21:04Reese, we know it was you who started the rumor.
21:06No, I heard it from CJ.
21:08We know that's not true.
21:10But you did tell Dakota, and Travis, and Lynette.
21:15You know what that tells me?
21:18You wanted someone to know.
21:21You wanted the police to know, but you just didn't want to be the one to call.
21:25It didn't seem right that he was just lying out there.
21:29How do you know he'd been killed?
21:34I stayed late on Tuesday.
21:36My mom wanted to talk to Mr. Morris.
21:38She was so angry about Yale.
21:41She was yelling at him, and he wanted to talk somewhere private.
21:44So they went out back behind the school.
21:48So I waited and waited, and finally my mom came back.
21:55Just her, not him.
21:59And her hands were...
22:02She wouldn't talk about it, but I...
22:04I knew she did something.
22:08I didn't want any of this to happen.
22:11I don't even care about college.
22:19Well, at least I know why I was failing the class.
22:21Your mom wasn't bribing the teacher.
22:23Yeah, then I never did any homework.
22:26Listen, your mom is stuck at school.
22:28Things are about as hectic over there as you can imagine.
22:30So your dad's going to come take you home.
22:33Is that all right?
22:34Yeah, it's fine.
22:35He shows up every six to eight months to remind everybody where my mom got sole custody.
22:40I'm telling you, you cannot lose.
22:42You would be a fool not to invest.
22:44Hit me up on socials.
22:45I will tell you more about it, okay?
22:46Hey, this is my guy.
22:49How you doing?
22:50I still haven't had that grocery yet, huh?
22:51I'm pacing myself.
22:52Hey, sorry I haven't been around much.
22:54Been working crazy hours.
22:56But good news.
22:57Tiger Bear has one more investor signed on with a non-binding verbal agreement.
23:00Tiger Bear?
23:01It's a soup.
23:02It's a breakfast soup.
23:04Dash, come on.
23:04No, that was the last one.
23:06Tiger Bear Whiskey Tequila is the whiskyless startup.
23:08It's going to be huge.
23:10You should get in on the grand floor, champ.
23:12I'm telling you, an investment of ten grand will triple by the end of the year, guaranteed.
23:16You do know your son found one of his teachers dead behind the school gym today.
23:19Damn it.
23:22Sorry, sorry.
23:23Okay, keep going.
23:25So Dash was working out and...
23:27Just take me home.
23:28Will they have to excavate the passenger seat for parking tickets again or...
23:32He's joking.
23:33I am a model citizen.
23:34Don't say that.
23:37Dash.
23:39I'm around if you need me.
23:41So we gotta stop by my place first, but we'll make it a pro app.
23:44You know, or some Zah.
23:45We'll watch last week's UFC.
23:47No problem.
23:49Just the universal unfairness of the world.
23:51Nothing actionable.
23:55Thanks for coming in.
23:56This is a plea deal.
23:58And before you ask, it's the best deal your client's gonna get.
24:00I know.
24:01Murder, too.
24:01It seems excessive.
24:02I mean, all you did was rob a convenience store.
24:05It wasn't your fault that the clerk had a heart attack.
24:08The man had end-stage heart disease.
24:10Now, a jury could see that as extenuating circumstances.
24:14I mean, if the jury was blind, maybe they'd see that as a gang tattoo.
24:18But I don't have to risk that possibility if you just say yes to the plea.
24:21I mean, who cares if there's no precedent for a felony prosecution this severe?
24:25So what if our only witness has been charged with perjury and false accusations in two other cases?
24:30I mean, if you think you could do better at trial, you just push that plea deal right back at
24:34me.
24:36I mean, if you think it's nowhere near too loud.
25:00I'm Officer Juarez with LAPD.
25:02Yeah, I'm following your roommate, Apple Pruitt's case.
25:04Yeah, she hasn't come home, right?
25:06No.
25:07No, I'm, I'm, we're sick.
25:10Do you mind if I come inside?
25:12Sure.
25:13Yeah, of course.
25:19I've actually been boxing up Apple's things all day.
25:22It's officially 30 days tomorrow.
25:24I just, I need someone else in here to help me with this crazy rant.
25:28Not that Apple is great about paying.
25:31She doesn't believe in money or monogamy.
25:34Or cleaning.
25:36She sounds like a lot.
25:38Oh, I mean, don't get me wrong.
25:39She was, is, um, one of my favorite people.
25:43Just not the greatest at cohabitation.
25:45Right.
25:47And the last time you saw her was right before she left for Coachella?
25:50She left going, even though she had her issues before.
25:54I mean, bad drugs and aggressive guys.
25:56She definitely had some scares.
25:59And you think that's what happened to her?
26:01I, I don't know.
26:03Um, I mean, I, I'm just trying to be helpful.
26:07But I'm desperate for you to find her.
26:10Do you mind if I take a look at her bedroom?
26:13Yeah, no problem.
26:14It's, uh, it's right over there.
26:15I, I, I, I, I, I, I...
26:20Come on, come on.
27:05Come on, come on.
27:27Come on.
28:16Come on.
28:19I'm pretty sure you're the worst roommate ever.
28:24So, this is just temporary, but the money train is chugging into the station.
28:32Then I'm going to be playing the how many square feet is too many square feet game.
28:36Want some?
28:36Uh, no thanks.
28:37I just shotgunned some gasoline.
28:39Oh.
28:48Oh God, I had some serious stuff.
28:51Hey, um, so this fancy private school of yours...
28:54Where a teacher was just murdered?
28:56Really?
28:57How have you not been paying attention?
28:59Never mind.
29:00Of course you're out.
29:00All I'm saying is you're in the perfect spot to help your dear old dad raise some cash money capital.
29:06I'm having supply issues in the Czech Republic.
29:08But they specialize in neither whiskey nor chicken.
29:10Okay, that is besides the point.
29:11Anyways, you will be helping out the family if I can get you to make a few introductions.
29:16If I say I'll think about it, will you take me home?
29:19Come on, what's the rush? Party's just getting started.
29:23Gus!
29:24I know you in there.
29:25Open the damn door.
29:30We're gonna go out the window.
29:31No, we're not.
29:33I can hear you in there.
29:34Open the door or we kick it in.
29:36Uh, okay.
29:37Um, so a few of my friends are here.
29:40Um, you gotta go hide.
29:42Why would I hide from your friends?
29:44Just go.
29:44Come on.
29:45And don't come out.
29:46No matter what.
29:55Dash?
29:56I think I might be in some trouble.
30:01Fellas.
30:01Wait, wait, wait, wait.
30:02I'm sorry about the confusion.
30:04Your money, it's being transferred.
30:05It's just the act, you know?
30:06It takes a few days, so...
30:10Okay, where are you?
30:11Uh, closet?
30:13That's apartment.
30:14They're beating him up.
30:15I can get your money just one more day.
30:18Like, two times.
30:19Wait, wait, wait, wait, no.
30:20All right, stay hidden until we get there.
30:22I can't.
30:24They'll kill him.
30:25I have to do something.
30:27No, Dash.
30:28Dash, no.
30:33I don't know how you can get your money.
30:34What the hell is this?
30:35It's, uh, my neighbor.
30:36He waters my plants.
30:42You are such a liar.
30:43Although lying to protect your kid is almost noble.
30:46Be ashamed if I have to break all his teeth.
30:49Stump both his ends in a suit.
30:50Pass.
30:51And pass.
30:53How about we go with my plan instead?
30:55Rob a bunch of rich kids that go to my school?
30:57Who wants a Rolex?
31:02You better not be lying, kid.
31:04Your dad is out of free passes.
31:08Let's go.
31:14Dash would never knowingly put someone in danger.
31:16So we tracked down whether any school families are out of town.
31:20The Laporte premiere.
31:21He's a pretentious auteur filmmaker.
31:23His new movie launches tonight.
31:25Autumn Harrington is in it.
31:26That's the girl that Dash has a crush on.
31:28Her address is in the system.
31:34Damn, who is this chick?
31:35Autumn?
31:36She's an up-and-coming IT girl.
31:37Her new project's getting Oscar buzz.
31:40Yeah?
31:41Well, let's hope she get paid in diamond bracelets.
31:44You know, stuff that's easy to pawn.
31:45Otherwise,
31:47you and your dad gonna find out what the landfill tastes like.
31:50Out.
31:56Stay with Gus until I give you the signal, alright?
32:01Man, for what it's worth,
32:02your dad is the biggest train wrecker I ever met.
32:05My old man, he in prison.
32:07Trying to steal a FedEx plane with a tow truck.
32:09Well, if you're the ghost of my future self,
32:11I might just have to Virginia Woolf it.
32:14I don't know what that mean.
32:15She was arguably the most influential writer of the 20th century.
32:19Ended it all by walking into a river with rocks in her pockets.
32:25Nobody likes a comedian, kid.
32:27I'd argue, but the gun gives you the last word.
32:32Hey, if this is set up, I'm killing everybody.
32:36Got it?
32:36Yes, sir.
32:41You're not my agadashi tofu.
32:44You're not supposed to be here.
32:45Well, you cut me out of the movies.
32:47I wasn't on the list.
32:48Do you know how mortifying that...
32:51Who the hell are you?
32:52Hey, who else in the house?
32:53Nobody.
32:54My parents are in Monaco.
32:56Alright, get over here.
32:58I don't want to.
32:59No problem.
33:00I'll just shoot you.
33:07Go dance.
33:08What? Why?
33:09Whoa.
33:10It's even bigger on the inside.
33:12See, this is the kind of place I'm going to get when I get paid.
33:14Hey, man, shut up!
33:16Stay down here with the idiot, alright?
33:18Steal anything that's shiny.
33:23Now, take me to your parents room and they better have a bulk load of watches and jury.
33:26Hey, hey.
33:26Whoa, whoa.
33:27Those whiskey bottles worth like $500 each.
33:28I'm just going to grab a couple.
33:30Show me.
33:31Alright.
33:36How about this?
33:38The Merlot, really?
33:39No, dude, those two are worth way more.
33:51Alright, alright.
34:04I'm gonna have to go.
34:05It's okay.
34:07I'm gonna have to go.
34:07There you go.
34:13Little guy.
34:15No, dude.
34:16No.
34:20What?
34:21Yeah.
34:24Hey.
34:25Oh, man.
34:25Oh, man.
34:26I'm gonna have to go.
34:26Where's the jewelry?
34:27Closet.
34:28All right.
34:30Hey, hey!
34:31Stay here!
34:37Okay.
34:42I cannot believe you brought them to my house.
34:44I panicked, okay?
34:46They were gonna kill my dad.
34:47Besides, you weren't supposed to be here.
34:49I would never knowingly put you in danger.
34:51Because you have the huts for me.
34:53I have romantic intentions.
34:55Yeah, but clearly you don't share them, so...
34:59It's not like you're not cute.
35:00You're just...
35:01Poor?
35:02Exactly.
35:08What are you doing?
35:09Looking for a gun.
35:11Oh, that's not a gun.
35:13Oh.
35:13Oh, your parents are freaky.
35:15What the hell are you doing?
35:16Get away from there!
35:17Oh, no, sorry.
35:19Sorry.
35:21I'm never gonna be able to look my parents in the eye again.
35:24Me neither.
35:26Hey, Andre wouldn't really hurt my kid, right?
35:28This is a scare tactic.
35:30I mean, I know I'm not a great dad, but I try.
35:32You know?
35:34When it's convenient for me.
35:36Like, I want to be better.
35:38Like, I really do.
35:39I think about it all the time.
35:41Well, not all the time.
35:43It's at the heart of the problem, really.
35:45I just gotta be better.
35:47The kid deserves a role model.
35:48I'm not the flaming hot mess I am on a daily basis.
35:53Feels really good to come clean about this, you know?
35:55It's kind of cathartic.
35:55Take your ass.
35:56When the hell did you get here?
35:58Where's Dash?
35:59Let's go.
36:00No, she's staying here.
36:01She hasn't seen your face, so you're in the clear.
36:03Just, you can do whatever you want to be, just let her go.
36:05Hey, man, you got balls, kid.
36:07Unlike your father, but she cannot stay here, all right?
36:09Let's go.
36:09There's a gold bar on that bedside table.
36:11Yeah, right.
36:12I'm serious.
36:13But if you want to leave it, like...
36:15Stay right here.
36:17Don't move.
36:23Get back.
36:25Drop it.
36:28Come on, get up.
36:31Hey, you too okay?
36:33Physically.
36:35Yeah, give me this.
36:37Come here.
36:40Thanks.
36:41And thanks for trying to save me.
36:43Yeah, anytime.
36:45Oh, thank God.
36:48Although, I knew it was all going to be all right.
36:50Hey, um, maybe we don't tell your mom about this.
36:53You know, we just keep it a bro thing.
36:55Stop.
36:55Just stop.
36:57Everything that you do, everything that you say is just so selfish, so toxic.
37:02You haven't done one fatherly thing for me in my entire life.
37:05All you care about is yourself, and I'm just sick of it.
37:09I'm done with you.
37:11Forever.
37:12What?
37:21So, we met with all 27 defendants.
37:24It's the craziest thing.
37:25We tried our hardest.
37:26None of them would accept the plea deal.
37:28Not a one.
37:28Well, I hope you've kept your weekends clear, because now you've got 27 trials you're going
37:32to need to prepare for.
37:35About that, I quit.
37:38And I'd say best of luck, but I hope you fail spectacularly.
37:43Sorry, Sean.
37:43I just can't.
37:44No, no worries.
37:45I can't either.
37:47I quit, too.
37:49Oh.
37:49Hey, what do you think of the law firm of Del Monte and Evers?
37:52Well, you haven't worked a day in your life as a defense attorney.
37:54Evers and Del Monte.
37:57Turn to the right.
37:58Way ahead of you.
37:59Not my first rodeo.
38:01Now we just need your clothes for evidence, and then, uh, for you to go.
38:06After everything that happened?
38:08The DA may still press charges, but it was pretty clear you were under duress.
38:14I really wanted this time to be different.
38:16I was going to buy Dash a car for the Tiger Bear money.
38:19I looked to make up for lost time, you know?
38:22But he's right.
38:23I screw everything up.
38:24He's better off without me.
38:26Probably.
38:29I've had some experience with bad fathers, and the love the sons feel for them, no matter
38:34how many times they get their hearts broken.
38:37And unless you're willing to change, and I mean, really, change, the best thing you
38:43can do for Dash is just leave him the hell alone.
38:53What were you thinking?
38:59I'm fine.
39:00Thanks for asking.
39:01Do you know how close you were to becoming a missing person yourself?
39:03If she would have succeeded in killing you, how would I have known?
39:06First thing she'd do is destroy your phone.
39:08So when I pulled to your last known location, it would be your building.
39:12So to me and the world, you were home, and then you vanished.
39:16I see that now.
39:17It's just I figured I'd stop by and ask a few questions.
39:19We have protocols for a reason.
39:23Yes, sir.
39:25I let my best intentions obscure my judgment, proving I still have a lot to learn about
39:31this job.
39:33But if I can be so bold as to ask a favor?
39:40You can ask.
39:42I remain undaunted.
39:45So if a file comes across your desk that gives you a feeling, call me.
39:50I am happy to run down any lead I can for you, free of charge.
39:59Deal.
40:01And for what it's worth, I'm glad you're okay.
40:05I made all these mistakes, but I made them mine.
40:20Your dad's gone, and your mom's on her way.
40:23Cool.
40:26You want to talk about anything?
40:29Uh, not really.
40:31I think I'm a little talked out for once.
40:35Understood.
40:38You know, at the risk of sounding overly earnest.
40:42You're a very special young man.
40:45Despite, or maybe even because of what your father's put you through.
40:51Now, I know you know that you're not him in any, any way, shape, or form.
40:57But I also know that family pain is emotional and not intellectual.
41:07I'm just trying to say, um, if you ever need a reminder of this conversation, you have my number.
41:14Thanks.
41:16And just to be clear, you're saying I can call you every morning at the crack of dawn just to
41:21tell me I'm awesome?
41:21No.
41:23Every other morning.
41:24Twice a week, final offer.
41:25I can live with that.
41:27If you can live with unlimited text, DMs, and social media shoutouts.
41:31Just the calls.
41:34Okay.
41:36Smart man.
41:36Smart man.
41:39Smart man.
41:40Smart man.
41:49Smart man.
41:51Smart man.
41:55Smart man.
41:55Smart man.
41:57Smart man.
42:14Damn it.
