00:01Hey, what is Tim going to show us?
00:02He'll kill me if I ruin the surprise.
00:04It's not a waffle truck, I asked.
00:06Oh.
00:07Welcome.
00:08I wanted you guys to be the first to see my new office.
00:11Look, if I'm going to be more out on the street watch commander,
00:13I need to take my office with me.
00:15Is this the new Interceptor utility vehicle?
00:17It is.
00:18700 horsepower, 8,000-pound towing capacity,
00:22level 4 ballistic door panels, dark mode,
00:24and 270-degree monitoring to analyze moving objects
00:28with potential threat levels.
00:29He calls it a super shop.
00:30That's a working title.
00:32See, we got pads and bats,
00:34infrared camera,
00:36breaching tools.
00:37I have two 32-inch screens.
00:40Woo!
00:41Wow.
00:42Can I be watch commander?
00:43No.
00:44But you are riding with me today.
00:45Yes.
00:45Hey, show them droning.
00:47Oh, yeah.
00:48Check this out.
00:56Isn't he cute?
00:57Hey.
00:58Really?
00:59Yeah.
01:00Look, super shop makes the Batmobile look like a kitty toy.
01:02And I can control it all right here from my phone.
01:07See?
01:11Damn it.
01:12Whoa, whoa.
01:13Damn it.
01:15I'm playing Tim's Pump-Up Jack.
01:17Damn it.
01:18Damn it.
01:18Stop.
01:19Stop.
01:21Stop.
01:21How do you feel tonight?
01:24I'm telling you now that we're gonna get down.
01:28I'm gonna shake it down.
01:29It's not gonna be as easy as you think.
01:31Based on this morning's demonstration, I'm well aware.
01:34It's not just that you're taking the watch commander duties on patrol.
01:37You're also exposing yourself to chain of command confusion
01:41when you land at a scene, even if you stay in the SUV.
01:44Super shot.
01:45It's a working thing.
01:52Morning.
01:53Morning.
01:54All right, listen up.
01:55We're going to do things a little different today.
01:58There'll be two supervisors out on the street,
02:01Sergeant Chen and myself.
02:04I know, I know.
02:05No one wants the boss showing up to their calls,
02:08second-guessing their every move.
02:09That is not my intention, okay?
02:11Nothing has to change.
02:12I just put wheels on my office.
02:14While we work out the details,
02:15Officer Nolan will be riding with me to help facilitate the transition.
02:19Any questions?
02:21Can I pick a playlist?
02:23It's a dumb question.
02:25All right, second order of business.
02:27Officer Juarez will be on temporary duty assignment with the Detectives Bureau.
02:31Did you choose your focus?
02:32Yes.
02:33Missing person.
02:34Oof.
02:35You sure about that?
02:37Yeah.
02:38Your call?
02:39All right, I have some updates from the night shift.
02:41This missing person's really not bad.
02:44Detective Desmond has a reputation.
02:46Like a Harper reputation?
02:48No, um, opposite.
02:52Last day at the DA's office.
02:54Excited?
02:54I'm relieved.
02:55When the DA had one foot in retirement, now that Vivian's DA-elect, she's gonna have free reign.
02:59None of that will matter once you quit and open a private practice in Malibu with a view of the
03:04ocean.
03:04Uh, with that commute, you'd never see me again.
03:06Well, in my dream, I also work in Malibu.
03:10Of a robot helicopter that flies the kids to school.
03:12And a pony.
03:13Well, sorry to kill another one of your dreams.
03:15Yes, but I already reached out to my old landlord.
03:17And the only view from that office is to eat the open place on the first floor.
03:20Oh, before you go, make sure you pass off my cases to the right prosecutors.
03:24Daniels doesn't touch homicide.
03:25Give mine to Cosgrove.
03:27He is solid.
03:27That might be an issue.
03:29Cosgrove just quit.
03:29I gotta go.
03:30Good luck.
03:32Wesley, so good to see you.
03:33Yeah, right.
03:35I'm serious.
03:35No hard feelings on my end.
03:37Yeah, because you destroyed me.
03:38Well, exactly.
03:38I made good on the promise I made you when you threw your hat in the ring.
03:41It's nothing personal.
03:42In fact, I agree with you on a lot of the issues, and I know that together we can take
03:46the DA's office in a positive direction.
03:50You're not going to fall for that, are you?
03:52No.
03:53I was about to hand in my resignation letter.
03:55Well, she won't accept it.
03:56With Cosgrove, Garcia, and Martin already out, she can't afford to lose anyone else.
03:59Martin quit?
04:00Keyed her car on the way out.
04:02A hero to us all.
04:04Come on.
04:07Hey, sorry about the election.
04:09That should have been me facing Vivian.
04:11You were handed a poison chalice.
04:13I drank from it willingly.
04:14So.
04:15How's Logan?
04:16He's good.
04:17You know, he just got another chip.
04:19He's been clean now almost four months.
04:22That's great.
04:23Yeah.
04:23What about you?
04:25You can do the Rothwell and Pierce thing?
04:26No, I'm, uh, I'm going to stay here.
04:30And you should, too.
04:31Mm.
04:32Come on, Wes.
04:32You joined this place to change the culture from within.
04:35To ensure that justice, not punishment, was our paramount virtue.
04:40Remember?
04:40It's a very inspirational message that just lost by 23 points.
04:45Look, Vivian ran on tough on crime.
04:47She's going to deliver.
04:48Yeah, which is why the city needs people like us here, now more than ever.
04:52Look, we still can make a difference.
04:54Sean.
04:55You're here already.
04:56Let's work together one last time.
04:58If at the end of the day you still want to quit, I won't stand anyway.
05:01This job is where ambition goes to die.
05:05Wait, what?
05:06Missing persons.
05:07It's not a real department.
05:09It's a halfway house for cases on the way to real departments.
05:12That's a lot of reports for a fake department.
05:1590% of these cases will solve themselves.
05:17Teenager just needed to blow off steam.
05:19A wife went on a bender, came home when she sobered up.
05:22Kid fell asleep playing hide and seek.
05:23Well, I've been on patrol for three years.
05:26I know most missing persons reports go nowhere, but there are people in the stack who are victims of real
05:32crimes.
05:32Crimes with their own departments, like trafficking or homicide.
05:36Sorry to interrupt.
05:38Homicide went to a McGrath case.
05:40Fisherman found the body, looks like murder.
05:42Rest in peace.
05:46Okay.
05:47Obviously, you know the job way better than I do, but it wouldn't hurt to look through the case file,
05:53see if there's anyone we can help.
05:55Knock yourself out.
06:03This thing drives like a dream.
06:05In these seats.
06:07Ten minutes in a regular shop, my ass is barking.
06:10Yeah, well, don't get used to it. You're just here while I work out the kinks.
06:13Once Penn is back from training, you're back in the shop and I'm on my own.
06:17I have a 415 at Fibs and Western.
06:19RP reports two shirtless men circling each other.
06:22Seven at 100, two blocks away, show us responding.
06:25You sure?
06:26Sounds like your basic alcohol-fueled slugfest.
06:28Yeah, I have to test response times and even the most basic of calls.
06:34Captain's calling.
06:36Bradford.
06:36Can you hold?
06:38Yeah, I'll hold.
06:43I'll be right there.
06:44I got this one.
06:47LAPD, you guys break it up.
06:49Sorry, he was just called into a meeting.
06:51Can you hold just a minute longer?
06:52Thanks.
06:53No, I'm at...
07:05Sorry to keep you waiting.
07:06No problem, sir.
07:07We're getting a lot of complaints about vagrants in Stoner Park.
07:11I-I've got to say, renaming it would be a strong start.
07:14It's important that people feel safe in public places.
07:16Couldn't agree more.
07:17I'll have additional units in the area starting today.
07:19Okay, uh, is that it?
07:21One more thing.
07:21Uh, I just want to say your tireless commitment to justice and the people of this...
07:28Hey, hey, hey, hey.
07:30Good job, sir.
07:31You supervised the hell out of that.
07:33You're still here.
07:34And I think I found a workable case.
07:37Sadie Bell, 30, was reported missing last week, but according to her best friend Joe,
07:41Sadie never misses visitation with her kid on the first Tuesday of every month.
07:46Walk with me.
07:49Reporting party's address?
07:51Uh, 5206th Street?
07:53It's a homeless shelter.
07:54Joe is unhoused, meaning Sadie's unhoused.
07:56Not the most reliable bunch.
07:58On the other hand, sir, unhoused women are highly vulnerable to physical and sexual assaults.
08:03True, and they're also more likely to be substance abusers who miss things like supervised child visitations.
08:09I know.
08:09Well, I think it's worth investigating, so what's our first step?
08:13Why are you so gung-ho, Officer Morris?
08:15And don't just say the indefatigability of youth.
08:20Uh, my, uh, sister was abducted when I was a child, sir.
08:24I, uh, lived the fear of not knowing where a loved one is.
08:28Understandable.
08:30And quite noble.
08:31But I would caution you that the thousand files in my office are not an unending stack of potential happy
08:37endings.
08:38For the subset that are not just runaways or miscommunications,
08:42the endings are mostly heartbreaking.
08:48I haven't had a chance to review the reports, but it's at the top of my list.
08:52Okay, I appreciate the reminder.
08:56How did Greg make it look so easy?
08:57Oh, the scowl helped.
08:59Yeah.
09:00You don't want to bother that face with anything less than an absolute emergency.
09:03My scowl is legend.
09:05It was.
09:06But then Lucy moved in.
09:09You know what?
09:10I take it back.
09:12Hey, Dash.
09:14Everything all right?
09:14Hey, so, lesson for the future.
09:16Uh, if somebody asks you if you want to see a dead body, uh, say no.
09:21Dash, are you standing over a dead body?
09:24Yep.
09:28He's been here for at least a day.
09:29Won't know how long for sure until TID gets here and we turn him over.
09:33Kenneth Morris.
09:34K-Dog?
09:35For real?
09:36Uh, Kenny's my English teacher.
09:38Was my English teacher.
09:40Okay, so, uh, who found the body?
09:43Uh, Dakota.
09:44We're in fourth period together.
09:45But I didn't think it was real.
09:46She's always gossiping about something.
09:49Last week, she told me she was quitting school because she landed some influencer brand deal
09:52with Pop-Tarts.
09:54Turns out it was just a regional campaign.
09:55No offense.
09:56It just doesn't seem like, uh, Coastwood is your scene.
09:59Oh, it's not.
10:00Uh, but my mom said I needed a strong senior year in order to get into a good college.
10:04So, she landed an office job here.
10:06That way I get a major break on tuition.
10:08Dad, not in the picture?
10:09No, he kind of lurks in the background like the Babadook,
10:12specializing in bad decisions and hot cougars.
10:15Right.
10:16Uh, so you said Dakota found the body original.
10:19Uh, no, Dakota said CJ told her about it,
10:21who heard about it from Ilya and Autumn,
10:23who might have heard about it from somebody else.
10:26So, how many teenagers came out to the woods,
10:29saw a dead body, and did nothing about it except tell their friends?
10:33Unknown.
10:33But I bet they all took selfies with it.
10:35I'm starving.
10:36Can we order green juice or something?
10:39Your intermittent fast doesn't end until one.
10:41We can talk after that.
10:41No one is asking you to spy on your friends.
10:45No, we have hidden surveillance set up to capture candid conversations.
10:49Tight.
10:49Uh, but they're not my friends.
10:51Oh.
10:52How's my hair?
10:53It's fine.
10:54Who were you trying to impress?
10:56No one, Autumn.
11:01She's pretty.
11:02It's like saying that the hanging gardens of Babylon were cool
11:05instead of a feat of unparalleled engineering
11:08that redefined elegance and beauty in the ancient world.
11:11But I'm a little biased.
11:12Clearly.
11:14She nice.
11:15Hey, Dash.
11:16Do you want to come to my premiere tonight?
11:17Uh, yeah, totally.
11:19I would love to.
11:20No, wait.
11:21My publicist said we already did our charity work for the year,
11:24so you're out of luck.
11:25Sorry.
11:28What are you premiering?
11:29The new LaPorte film.
11:30It's already getting Oscar buzz.
11:31Oh.
11:32Who do you play in the movie?
11:33Young Attic No. 2.
11:34No lines, but my featured reactions really carry the film.
11:38Oh, by the way, I have a hard-out at three glam squads coming to my house.
11:42Well, we'll try to get you out in time for the full-face shellacking.
11:46Do you have a parent or guardian with you?
11:48Oh, no, thank you.
11:50I was legally emancipated when I was 13, so I could, um, work adult hours on set.
11:56I don't need them here.
11:57Great.
11:58Let's interview you first.
11:59Awesome.
12:01Please tell me Jack won't be going there.
12:03It's not definite, but Jack's preschool is the feeder school for Coastwood.
12:08It would be an easy transition.
12:11Logistically, maybe, but emotionally, won't you die a little?
12:15Yes, but L.A. elementary schools are more competitive than Stanford,
12:18and having an easy path would save hundreds of hours of stress.
12:22Yeah, but then he'd be going to school with kids like these.
12:25That's where it falls apart.
12:26And what can you tell me about Morris?
12:29Oh, Kenny was such a sweetie.
12:30Even 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.
12:36We were supposed to premiere at Sundance,
12:38but then the director had all these, like, harassment allegations or whatever
12:43and got basically blackballed.
12:44And now my career has to suffer.
12:46Like, did Kenneth have any disagreements with other teachers, faculty?
12:50No.
12:51I really can't imagine anyone wanting to hurt Ken-Ken.
12:54It wasn't traditionally attractive, sure,
12:56but that's no reason to be murdered.
12:58Right?
13:00Can I vape in here?
13:01I have a note from my therapist.
13:03He does.
13:04I have it right here.
13:05No.
13:06Who 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.
13:15I think I ended up getting both.
13:17Let's focus here.
13:19Where did you hear about the body?
13:21Well, 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.
13:29I 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, where do we think the rumor started?
13:44Nowhere.
13:45Like, everywhere.
13:46How are we further from figuring this out than when we started?
13:49I'll call for backup.
13:50Hi again.
13:51Thank God.
13:52Normal teenager.
13:53No offense.
13:54It's just your classmates tend to be...
13:57Overwhelmed by their own champagne problems.
13:59I get it.
14:00My dysfunction is a little bit more proletariat.
14:02Yes, that's one way to put it.
14:04Yeah, I don't really hang out with them much outside of school.
14:06And that's not just because I didn't make Forbes 20 under 20, but it's definitely a factor.
14:10Well, we're not done with the interviews yet, 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.
14:18Right.
14:18So, Reese heard about it from CJ, who heard about it from Zoe, who saw it in a DM from,
14:24um...
14:25You said that Reese heard about it from CJ?
14:26That's what she told us.
14:27That doesn't make any sense.
14:29They got in a huge fight last week about, you know, whether or not sending nudes to other people counts
14:33as cheating.
14:34They haven't spoken to each other since, and word in the halls is that Zoe and CJ are the new
14:38it couple.
14:38Oh, my God, yes, I was totally picking up on that vibe, but I saw that Zoe wasn't following CJ
14:43on Instagram, so I put it from my head.
14:45But when I double back to check, it looks like she does follow him, but only with her Finsta.
14:49With her Finsta, yeah.
14:52Okay, this is, this is actually all starting to make sense.
14:54It is?
14:55Um, so Lynette and Emma, they went to the bathroom to do a fit check for their joint Instagram account,
15:01and 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 tabbies.
15:09Travis tells Paul in the parking lot that he heard about a dead body from some bitch in first period,
15:15and who does he have first period with?
15:18Reese.
15:19And Dash heard about the body from Dakota, who is Reese's second best friend,
15:23but she has been fighting for that number one spot,
15:27so, I mean, she would do anything that Reese says.
15:29So, if Reese told Dakota to lie about where she heard about the body?
15:34This is all coming back to Reese.
15:36Okay, so, is Reese witness zero, or is she the killer?
15:42Sadie!
15:49Yeah.
15:51Okay.
15:54You know, that night Sadie went missing, it was pouring rain, and the shelter was full,
15:58so I'm thinking she crawled in here to stay dry and got trapped.
16:03A couple months ago, I found a bunch of guys living it up in an access tunnel.
16:08Electricity, Wi-Fi, the whole thing.
16:11They had the right idea.
16:13But you also have electricity and Wi-Fi.
16:15Yeah, but I have to pay for it.
16:18You know, one of those gays, if they locked behind her,
16:21she could be trapped or too injured to crawl out.
16:24Yeah, but at this point, she's probably dead from dehydration.
16:28Wait, what?
16:32Sadie!
16:33If you can hear me, make a sound!
16:38Ah!
16:39God!
16:43Ah!
16:47Desmond!
16:47Where are you?
16:48I'm inside a service tunnel looking for Sadie.
16:50I-I called the shelter.
16:51She showed up this morning.
16:52You're kidding.
16:53Well, why didn't they call us?
16:54They never do.
16:55So she was fine this whole time?
16:57Yeah, it turns out that her friend had the visitation date wrong.
17:00But, hey, cheer up.
17:02At least you only wasted your own time.
17:08I am so sorry.
17:21Oh, hey, Selina.
17:24Hey, I heard about the missing person who wasn't missing.
17:27Already.
17:28I just got back.
17:29Smitty was with you.
17:30Right.
17:31Oh, I'm gonna have a lot of favors after dragging the cavalry through the sewers.
17:36Okay, first of all, do not refer to any group that includes Smitty as the cavalry.
17:40And second, those guys will forgive you.
17:41Or, you know, somebody else will screw up way worse,
17:43and then they'll be focused on that.
17:45Well, I'm kidding.
17:46Hey, one misstep does not change the fact that your instincts here are legendary.
17:51So just take a second to wallow in this,
17:53but then get cleaned up and get back out there, yeah?
17:55Yeah.
18:01Hey.
18:03Oh, you're too kind.
18:05Yes, I'm really looking forward to working with you as well, Madam Mayor.
18:08Okay, bye-bye.
18:10Sorry, I've been so busy.
18:11Um, before I make the big move upstairs,
18:14I wanted to get our house in order a little bit, clear the deck.
18:17So, we have 27 felony arrests, waiting prosecution.
18:22We just do not have the manpower.
18:24I'm gonna take them all to trial.
18:25Why?
18:26Did you lose some ADAs or something?
18:29There's been turnover, yes.
18:31So I've got plea deals approved for all these cases,
18:34and I need you both to get them signed ASAP.
18:36Murder, too?
18:37This guy robbed a convenience store, and the clerk had a heart attack.
18:40That is felony manslaughter at best.
18:42And a teen who pegged his principal with a football is assault with a deadly weapon?
18:46Did the DA sign off on these?
18:47I pointed to the significant mandate voters handed me, and he agreed.
18:51Well, their lawyers are not going to agree to these terms.
18:53Oh.
18:54Make them agree.
19:06Apple Pruitt.
19:07She lives in my building.
19:09Her mother reported her missing a month ago when she didn't return from Coachella.
19:13Every year, we get a spike in imports after Coachella.
19:16This is one time this guy disassociated so hard, he reported himself missing.
19:19No, but this one's weird.
19:22Apple has a strong social media presence, but didn't post anything about what happened
19:26this year.
19:27There was a massive dust storm.
19:28They canceled day two at the Sahara tent.
19:31I mean, everyone was posting about it.
19:32It's not exactly a smoking gun.
19:34Okay, listen.
19:35I know how this sounds, but something is telling me to investigate.
19:39I see what's going on.
19:41You said she lives in your building?
19:42Mm-hmm.
19:43Classic move.
19:45You take a case near your house so you can investigate it from your living room.
19:48When the shift ends, you're just a few steps from your futon.
19:51I'm not trying to go home early.
19:54That's too bad.
19:56I thought you were finally catching on.
20:00There's no obvious connection between Reese and Mr. Morris.
20:03He did tutor her every week, but he tutored a lot of the kids.
20:06Yeah, and his Venmo transactions show that he was pulling down six figures on top of his salary.
20:10Why is tutoring in quotes?
20:13And one of the parents added a winky face emoji.
20:19Every student who paid for tutoring got an A.
20:21The only kid who was struggling was Dash.
20:23Yeah, his mom was barely scraping tuition together.
20:26They couldn't afford anything extra.
20:27Okay, so the parents are paying for grades, so the kids get into a better college.
20:32But, I mean, why kill him?
20:34Maybe.
20:34He couldn't deliver.
20:35If I spent that kind of money and my kid didn't get into their dream school,
20:39I'd be pissed.
20:42Reese, have you decided what college you're going to?
20:44Um, I think I may be taking a gap year.
20:48From your social media accounts, it seems like you're all about Yale.
20:51That was kind of my mom's thing.
20:53But you did apply.
20:55Yeah, I applied to lots of places, but I didn't get in, so.
21:01Was your mom upset?
21:03Yeah, I guess.
21:05Reese, we know it was you who started the rumor.
21:08No, I heard it from CJ.
21:10We know that's not true.
21:12But you did tell Dakota, and Travis, and Lynette.
21:16You know what that tells me?
21:19You wanted someone to know.
21:22You wanted the police to know, but you just didn't want to be the one to call.
21:26It didn't seem right that he was just lying out there.
21:31How do you know he'd been killed?
21:35I stayed late on Tuesday.
21:38My mom wanted to talk to Mr. Morris.
21:40She was so angry about Yale.
21:43She was yelling at him, and he wanted to talk somewhere private,
21:46so they went out back behind the school.
21:50I waited and waited, and finally my mom came back.
21:56Just her.
21:58Not him.
22:00And her hands were...
22:03She wouldn't talk about it, but I...
22:06I knew she did something.
22:10I didn't want any of this to happen.
22:12I don't even care about college.
22:20Well, at least I know why I was failing the class.
22:23Your mom wasn't bribing the teacher.
22:24Yeah, then I never did any homework.
22:28Listen, your mom is stuck at school.
22:30Things are about as hectic over there as you can imagine,
22:31so your dad's going to come take you home.
22:34Is that right?
22:35Yeah, it's fine.
22:36He shows up every six to eight months
22:39to remind everybody where my mom got sole custody.
22:41I'm telling you, you cannot lose.
22:43You would be a fool not to invest.
22:45Hit me up on socials.
22:46I will tell you more about it, okay?
22:48Hey, here's my guy.
22:50How you doing?
22:51I still haven't had that grocery yet, huh?
22:53I'm pacing myself.
22:54Okay, sorry I haven't been around much.
22:55Been working crazy hours.
22:57But good news, Tiger Bear has one more investor
23:00signed on with a non-binding verbal agreement.
23:02Tiger Bear?
23:03It's a soup.
23:04It's a breakfast soup.
23:05Dash, come on.
23:06No, that was the last one.
23:07Tiger Bear Whiskey Tequila is the whisky-less startup.
23:10It's going to be huge.
23:11You should get in on the grand floor, champ.
23:13I'm telling you, an investment of ten grand
23:15will triple by the end of the year, guaranteed.
23:17You do know your son found one of his teachers
23:19dead behind the school gym today.
23:21Damn it.
23:24Sorry, sorry.
23:25Okay, keep going.
23:26So Dash was working out?
23:28Just take me home.
23:30Will they have to excavate the passenger seat
23:31for parking tickets again, or...?
23:33He's joking.
23:34I am a model citizen.
23:35Don't say that.
23:39Dash.
23:41I'm around if you need me.
23:43So we've got to stop by my place first,
23:44but we'll make it a pro app, you know?
23:46Or some za.
23:46We'll watch last week's UFC.
23:48Not a problem.
23:50Just the universal unfairness of the world,
23:52nothing actionable.
23:56Thanks for coming in.
23:58This is a plea deal, and before you ask,
24:00it's the best deal your client's going to get.
24:02I know, murder too.
24:03It seems excessive.
24:04I mean, all you did was rob a convenience store.
24:06It wasn't your fault that the clerk had a heart attack.
24:10The man had end-stage heart disease.
24:11Now, a jury could see that as extenuating circumstances.
24:15I mean, if the jury was blind,
24:18maybe they'd see that as a gang tattoo.
24:20But I don't have to risk that possibility
24:21if you just say yes to the plea.
24:23I mean, who cares if there's no precedent
24:24for a felony prosecution this severe?
24:26So what if our only witness has been charged
24:28with perjury and false accusations
24:30in two other cases?
24:32I mean, if you think you could do better at trial,
24:34you just push that plea deal right back at me.
24:58The music is nowhere near too loud.
25:01I'm Officer Juarez with LAPD.
25:03Yeah, I'm following your roommate,
25:04Apple Pruitt's case.
25:06Yeah, she hasn't come home, right?
25:07No.
25:08No, I'm, I'm, I'm really sick.
25:11Do you mind if I come inside?
25:13Sure. Yeah, of course.
25:20I've actually been boxing up Apple's things all day.
25:23It's officially 30 days tomorrow.
25:25I just, I need someone else in here
25:27to help me with this crazy rant.
25:30Not that Apple is great about paying.
25:32She doesn't believe in money or monogamy or cleaning.
25:37She sounds like a lot.
25:39Oh, I mean, don't get me wrong.
25:41She was, is, um, one of my favorite people.
25:44Just not the greatest at cohabitation.
25:47Right.
25:48And the last time you saw her
25:50was right before she left for Coachella?
25:52She left going, even though she had her issues before.
25:55I mean, bad drugs and aggressive guys.
25:58She definitely had some scares.
26:01And you think that's what happened to her?
26:03I, I don't know.
26:04Um, I mean, I, I'm just trying to be helpful.
26:09But I'm desperate for you to find her.
26:12Do you mind if I take a look at her bedroom?
26:14Yeah, no problem.
26:15It's, uh, it's right over there.
26:16I, I, I, I, I, I, I...
26:39I, I, I, I, I...
27:10I'm sorry.
27:13It's not what you think.
27:28Hey, hold on.
28:01This is Officer Juarez, badge number 53397.
28:04I'm code 4 with a possible 245 suspect.
28:06Also suspected of an 187-cent backup.
28:09I need an R-A-T-I-D to my location.
28:14You don't understand.
28:16She was the worst roommate ever.
28:21I'm pretty sure you're the worst roommate ever.
28:27So, this is just temporary.
28:29But the money train is chugging into the station.
28:34Then I'm gonna be playing the how-many-square-feet-is-too-many-square-feet game.
28:37You want some?
28:38Uh, no thanks. I just shotgunned some gasoline.
28:50Oh, God. I had some serious stuff.
28:53Hey, um, so this fancy private school of yours...
28:56Where a teacher was just murdered?
28:58Really?
28:58How have you not been paying attention?
29:01Never mind. Of course you're out.
29:02All I'm saying is, you're in the perfect spot
29:05to help your dear old dad raise some cash money capital.
29:08I'm having supply issues in the Czech Republic.
29:10But they specialize in neither whiskey nor chicken.
29:12Okay, that is besides the point.
29:13Anyways, you would be helping out the family
29:16if I can get you to make a few introductions.
29:18If I say I'll think about it, will you take me home?
29:21Come on, what's the rush? Party's just getting started.
29:25Gus! I know you in there.
29:27Open the damn door.
29:32Can we go out the window?
29:33No, we're not.
29:35I can hear you in there.
29:36Open the door or we kick it in.
29:38Uh, okay.
29:39Um, so a few of my friends are here.
29:42Um, you gotta go hide.
29:44Why would I hide from your friends?
29:45Just go.
29:46Go.
29:47And don't come out.
29:48No matter what.
29:57Dash?
29:57I think I might be in some trouble.
30:03Fellas.
30:03Wait, wait, wait, wait.
30:04I'm sorry about the confusion.
30:06Your money, it's being transferred.
30:07It's just the act, you know?
30:08It takes a few days, so...
30:12Okay, where are you?
30:13Uh, the closet.
30:15Dad's apartment.
30:16They're beating him up.
30:17I can get your money just one more day.
30:20Like two times.
30:21Wait, wait, wait, wait, no.
30:22All right, stay hidden until we get there.
30:24I can't.
30:26They'll kill him.
30:27I have to do something.
30:28No, Dash.
30:30Dash, no.
30:35I don't know how you can get your money.
30:36What the hell is this?
30:37It's, uh, my neighbor.
30:38He waters my plants.
30:44You are such a liar.
30:45Although lying to protect your kid is almost noble,
30:48be ashamed if I have to break all his teeth,
30:51stump both his ends in a suit.
30:52Pass.
30:53And pass.
30:55How about we go with my plan instead?
30:57Rob a bunch of rich kids that go to my school?
31:00Who wants a Rolex?
31:04You better not be lying, kid.
31:06Your dad is out of free passes.
31:10Let's go.
31:17Dash would never knowingly put someone in danger.
31:19So we track down whether any school families are out of town.
31:22The Laporte premiere.
31:24He's a pretentious auteur filmmaker.
31:26His new movie launches tonight.
31:28Autumn Harrington is in it.
31:29That's the girl that Dash has a crush on.
31:30Her address is in the system.
31:36Damn, who is this chick?
31:38Autumn?
31:39She's an up-and-coming IT girl.
31:41Her new project's getting Oscar buzz.
31:42Yeah?
31:44Well, let's hope she get paid in diamond bracelets.
31:46You know, stuff that's easy to pawn.
31:48Otherwise, you and your dad gonna find out what the landfill tastes like.
31:53Out.
31:59Stay with Gus until I give you the signal, all right?
32:04Man, for what it's worth,
32:05your dad is the biggest train wrecker I ever met.
32:08My old man, he in prison.
32:10Trying to steal a FedEx plane with a tow truck.
32:12Well, if you're the ghost of my future self,
32:14I might just have to Virginia Woolf it.
32:17I don't know what that mean.
32:18She was arguably the most influential writer of the 20th century.
32:22Ended it all by walking into a river with rocks in her pockets.
32:28Nobody likes a comedian, kid.
32:30I had to argue, but the gun gives you the last word.
32:35Hey, if this a setup, I'm killing everybody. Got it?
32:39Yes, sir.
32:44You're not my agadashi tofu.
32:47You're not supposed to be here.
32:48Well, you caught me out of the movies when I wasn't on the list.
32:51Do you know how mortifying that...
32:54Who the hell are you?
32:55Hey, who else in the house?
32:56Nobody. My parents are in Monaco.
32:59All right. Get over here.
33:00I don't want to.
33:02No problem. I'll just shoot you.
33:10Go dance.
33:11What? Why?
33:12Whoa.
33:13It's even bigger on the inside.
33:15See, this is the kind of place I'm gonna get when I get paid.
33:17Hey, man, shut up!
33:19Stay down here with the idiot, all right?
33:20Steal anything that's shiny.
33:25No.
33:26Now, take me to your parents, Raminade.
33:27That apple buffalo to watch is injury.
33:29Hey, hey, hey.
33:29Whoa, whoa.
33:29Those whiskey bottles worth like $500 each.
33:31I'm just gonna grab a couple.
33:32Show me.
33:34All right.
33:39What about this?
33:40The Merlot? Really?
33:42No, dude, those two are worth way more.
33:53All right, all right.
34:21All right, all right.
34:27Hey, where's the jewelry?
34:29Closet.
34:31All right.
34:32All right, come on.
34:33Hey, hey, stay here.
34:39Okay.
34:45I cannot believe you brought them to my house.
34:47I panicked, okay?
34:48They were gonna kill my dad.
34:50And besides, you weren't supposed to be here.
34:52I would never knowingly put you in danger.
34:54Because you have the odds for me.
34:56I have romantic intentions, yeah,
34:58but clearly you don't share them, so...
35:01It's not like you're not cute.
35:03You're just...
35:04Poor?
35:05Exactly.
35:11What are you doing?
35:12Looking for a gun.
35:14Oh, that's not a gun.
35:15Oh.
35:16Oh.
35:16Your parents are freaky.
35:18What the hell are you doing?
35:19Get away from there!
35:20Sorry.
35:21Sorry.
35:22Sorry.
35:24I'm never gonna be able to look my parents in the eye again.
35:27Me neither.
35:29Hey, Andre wouldn't really hurt my kid, right?
35:31This is a scare tactic.
35:33I mean, I know I'm not a great dad, but I try.
35:35You know?
35:37When it's convenient for me.
35:39Like, I want to be better.
35:41Like, I really do.
35:41I think about it all the time.
35:44Well, not all the time.
35:46It's not the heart of the problem, really.
35:48I just gotta be better.
35:49The kid deserves a role model,
35:51not the flaming hot mess I am on a daily basis.
35:56It feels really good to come clean about this, you know?
35:58It's kind of cathartic.
35:58Ah!
35:59When the hell did you get here?
36:01Where's Dash?
36:02Let's go.
36:03No, she's staying here.
36:04She hasn't seen your face.
36:05So you're in the clear.
36:06Just...
36:06You can do whatever you want to be.
36:07Just let her go.
36:08Hey man, you got balls, kid.
36:09Unlike your father.
36:10But she cannot stay here, alright?
36:12Let's go!
36:12There's a gold bar in that bedside table.
36:14Yeah, right.
36:15I'm serious.
36:16But if you want to leave it, like...
36:18Alright, stay right here.
36:19Oh!
36:26Get back!
36:28Drop it!
36:31Come on, get up.
36:34Hey, you okay?
36:36Physically.
36:37Here, give me this.
36:41Thanks.
36:44And thanks for trying to save me.
36:46Yeah.
36:47Anytime.
36:47Oh!
36:49Thank God.
36:51Although...
36:51I knew it was all gonna be alright.
36:53Hey, um...
36:54Maybe we don't tell your mom about this.
36:56You know?
36:57We just keep it a bro thing.
36:57Stop!
36:58Just stop.
37:00Everything that you do, everything that you say
37:02is just so...
37:03selfish, so toxic.
37:05You haven't done one fatherly thing for me
37:07in my entire life.
37:08All you care about is yourself, and I'm just...
37:10sick of it.
37:12I'm done with you.
37:14Forever.
37:15What?
37:15I'm done with you.
37:27I'm done.
37:32I'm done with you.
37:41I'm done with you.
37:43But I hope you fail. Spectacularly.
37:46Sorry, Sean. I just can't.
37:47No, no worries. I can't either.
37:50I quit, too.
37:52Hey, what do you think of the law firm of Del Monte and Evers?
37:55Well, you haven't worked a day in your life as a defense attorney.
37:58Evers and Del Monte.
38:00Turn to the right. Way ahead of you.
38:02Not my first radio.
38:05Now we just need your clothes for evidence,
38:07and then, uh, you're free to go.
38:10After everything that happened?
38:12The DA may still press charges,
38:14but it was pretty clear you were under duress.
38:17I really wanted this town to be different.
38:19I was gonna buy a dash of car
38:21with the Tiger Bear money.
38:22I looked to make up for lost time, you know?
38:25But he's right. I screw everything up.
38:28He's better off without me.
38:30Probably.
38:32I've had some experience with bad fathers
38:34and the love the sons feel for them
38:37no matter how many times they get their hearts broken.
38:40And unless you're willing to change,
38:42and I mean really change,
38:46the best thing you can do for Dash
38:47is just leave him the hell alone.
38:59What were you thinking?
39:02I'm fine. Thanks for asking.
39:04Do you know how close you were
39:05to becoming a missing person yourself?
39:07If she would've succeeded in killing you,
39:08how would I have known?
39:09First thing she'd do is destroy your phone.
39:11So when I pulled to your last known location,
39:13it would be your building.
39:15So to me and the world, you were home
39:17and then you vanished.
39:19I see that now.
39:21It's just I figured I'd stop by
39:22and ask a few questions.
39:23We have protocols for a reason.
39:27Yes, sir.
39:29I let my best intentions obscure my judgment,
39:32proving I still have a lot to learn about this job.
39:36But if I can be so bold as to ask a favor...
39:44You can ask.
39:46I remain undaunted.
39:49So if a file comes across your desk
39:51that gives you a feeling, call me.
39:53I am happy to run down any lead I can for you,
39:56free of charge.
40:02Deal.
40:04And for what it's worth,
40:07I'm glad you're okay.
40:23Your dad's gone and your mom's on her way.
40:27Cool.
40:30You wanna talk about anything?
40:33Uh, not really.
40:34I think I'm a little talked out for once.
40:38Understood.
40:41You're at the risk of sounding overly earnest.
40:45You're a very special young man.
40:48Despite or maybe even because
40:51of what your father's put you through.
40:54Now, I know you know that you're not him
40:56in any, any way, shape or form.
41:00But I also know that family pain is emotional
41:04and not intellectual.
41:10I'm just trying to say, uh,
41:12if you ever need a reminder of this conversation,
