00:01What 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.
00:08Welcome.
00:08Why don't you guys 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,
00:25and 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.
00:32Let's see what we got.
00:33Pats and bats, infrared camera,
00:36breaching tools.
00:37I have two 32-inch screens.
00:40Woo!
00:41Wow.
00:42Can I be watch commander?
00:43No.
00:44But you are riding with me today.
00:45Yes.
00:46Show them droning.
00:47Oh, yeah.
00:48Check this out.
00:57Isn't he cute?
00:58Hey.
00:59Really?
00:59Yeah.
01:00Super Shop makes the Batmobile look like a kitty toy.
01:03And I can control it all right here from my phone.
01:08See?
01:11Damn it.
01:12Whoa, whoa.
01:13Damn it.
01:14Ah!
01:15Playing Tim's Pump-Up Jax.
01:17Damn it.
01:18No, no, no, no.
01:18Stop.
01:19Stop.
01:20Stop.
01:21Without a look 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 based on this morning's demonstration. I'm well aware
01:34It's not just that you're taking the watch commander duties on patrol
01:37You're also exposing yourself to chain-of-command confusion when you land at a scene even if you stay in
01:43the SUV super shop
01:46It's a working name
01:53Morning
01:54All right, listen up. We're gonna do things a little different today
01:58There'll be two supervisors out on the street sergeant Chen and myself. I
02:05Know I know no one wants the boss showing up to their calls second-guessing their every move. That is
02:10not my intention
02:10Okay, nothing has to change. I just put wheels on my office
02:14While we work out the details officer Nolan will be riding with me to help facilitate the transition any questions
02:21Can I pick a playlist?
02:24I
02:24Don't question all right second order of business officer Juarez will be on temporary duty assignment with the detectives bureau
02:31Did you choose your focus? Yes?
02:33missing persons
02:35You sure about that? Yeah
02:38Your call all right. I have some updates from the night shift missing person is really that bad
02:44I
02:44Detective Desmond has a reputation like a Harper reputation. No
02:50Opposite
02:52Last day at the D.A.'s office excited. I'm relieved when the D.A. had one foot in retirement now
02:57that Vivian's D.A. elect
02:58She's gonna have free reign
02:59None of that will matter once you quit and open a private practice in Malibu with a view of the
03:04ocean
03:04Uh with that commute you'd never see me again
03:07Well in my dream I also work in Malibu
03:10Of a robot helicopter that flies the kids to school
03:13And a pony
03:13Well sorry to kill another one of your dreams, but I already reached out to my old landlord
03:16And the only view from that office is the Ethiopian place on the first floor
03:20Oh before you go make sure you pass off my cases to the right prosecutors
03:24Daniels doesn't touch homicide. Give mine to Cosgrove. He is solid
03:27That might be an issue. Cosgrove just quit. I gotta go
03:30Good luck
03:32Wesley, so good to see you. Yeah, right
03:35I'm serious. No hard feelings on my end
03:37Yeah, because you destroyed me. Well, exactly
03:39I made good on the promise I made you when you threw your hat in the ring. It'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 D.A.'s office in a positive direction
03:48Mm-hmm
03:50You're not gonna fall for that, are you?
03:52No. I was about to hand in my resignation letter
03:55Well, she won't accept it
03:56With Cosgrove, Garcia and Martin already out, she can't afford to lose anyone else
03:59Martin quit? Keyed her car on the way out
04:02A hero to us all
04:04Come on
04:07Hey, sorry about the election. That should have been me facing Vivian
04:11You were handed a poison chalice
04:13I drank from it willingly
04:15How's Logan?
04:15He's good. You know, he just got another chip
04:19He's been clean now almost four months
04:21That's great
04:22Yeah
04:23Uh, what about you? You gonna do the Rothwell and Pierce thing?
04:26No, I'm, uh, I'm gonna stay here
04:30And you should too
04:31Mm-hmm
04:32Come on, Wes, you joined this place to change the culture from within
04:35To ensure that justice, not punishment, was our paramount virtue, remember?
04:40It's a very inspirational message that just lost by 23 points
04:45Look, Vivian ran on tough on crime
04:47She's gonna deliver
04:48Yeah, which is why the city needs people like us here
04:51Now 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
04:57If at the end of the day you still wanna quit
04:59I won't stand anyway
05:02This 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, uh, that's a lot of reports for a fake department
05:14Ninety percent 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
05:23I've been on patrol for three years
05:25I know most missing persons reports go nowhere
05:28But there are people in this stack who are victims of real crimes
05:32Crimes with their own departments
05:34Like trafficking or homicide
05:37Sorry to interrupt
05:38Homicide went some graph 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
05:50But it wouldn't hurt to look through the case files
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
06:10But don't get used to it
06:11You're just here while I work out the kinks
06:13Once Penn is back from training, you're back in the shop
06:16And I'm on my own
06:16I have a 415 at 5th and Western
06:19RP reports two shirtless men circling each other
06:22Seven at 100, two blocks away shows responding
06:25You sure?
06:26Sounds like your basic alcohol-fueled slugfest
06:28Yeah, I have to test response times
06:30And 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
06:50Sorry, he was just called into a meeting
06:51Can you hold just a minute longer?
06:53Thanks
06:53No, I'm at
07:05Sorry to keep you waiting
07:06Uh, no problem, sir
07:07We're getting a lot of complaints about vagrants in Stoner Park
07:11I-I've gotta say renaming it would be a strong start
07:13It'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
07:22Uh, just wanna say
07:23Your tireless commitment to justice and the people of this
07:26Thank you, sir
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
07:36Sadie Bell, 30, was reported missing last week
07:40But according to her best friend Joe
07:41Sadie never misses visitation with her kid
07:44On 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
07:59Unhoused women are highly vulnerable to physical and sexual assaults
08:03True, and they're also more likely to be substance abusers
08:05Who miss things like supervised child visitations
08:09I know, but I think it's worth investigating
08:11So 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
08:29Understandable
08:30And quite noble
08:31But I would caution you
08:32That the thousand files in my office
08:35Are not an unending stack of potential happy endings
08:37For 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
08:50But 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 legendary
09:05It was, but then Lucy moved in
09:09You know what? I take it back
09:13Hey, Dash, everything alright?
09:15Hey, 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?
09:25Yep
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? For real?
09:37Uh, Kenny's my English teacher
09:38Was my English teacher
09:40Okay, so, uh, who found the body?
09:43Uh, Dakota. We're in fourth period together
09:45But I didn't think it was real
09:46She's always gossiping about something
09:48Last week, she told me she was quitting school
09:51Because she landed some influencer brand deal with Pop-Tarts
09:54Turns out it was just a regional campaign
09:55No offense, it just doesn't seem like, uh, Coastwood is your scene
09:59Oh, it's not, uh, but my mom said I needed a strong senior year in order to get into a
10:03good college
10:04So she landed an office job here, that 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, uh, 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
10:26So 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
10:35I'm starving, can we order green juice or something?
10:39Your intermittent fest doesn't end until one, we can talk after that
10:42No one is asking you to spy on your friends
10:45No, we have hidden surveillance set up to capture candid conversations
10:49Tight, uh, but they're not my friends
10:51No
10:52How's my hair?
10:54Fine, who 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 instead of a feat of unparalleled engineering that redefined
11:09elegance and beauty in the ancient world
11:11But I'm a little biased
11:12Clearly, she nice
11:14Hey Dash, do you want to come to my premiere tonight?
11:18Uh, yeah, totally, I would love to
11:20No, wait, my publicist said we already did our charity work for the year, so you're out of luck
11:25Sorry
11:28What are you premiering?
11:29The new La Porte film, it's already getting Oscar buzz
11:31Oh, who do you play in the movie?
11:33Young Attic No. 2, no 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
11:56But I don't need them here
11:57Great, let'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
12:09It would be an easy transition
12:11Logistically, maybe, but emotionally, won't you die a little?
12:14Yes, 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, I 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?
13:00Can I vape in here? I have a note from my therapist
13:03He does, I have it right here
13:05No, who 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
13:20Where did you hear about the body?
13:22Well, I remember Autumn mentioning something earlier in the day
13:25When she was talking to Ilya
13:27But Ilya said he had heard it from
13:29Zoe, I guess she originally saw something about it in a DM from Lynette
13:33When she was going through CJ's phone
13:35And given what happened on the school trip last year
13:37It is super sketchy that he was DMing Lynette
13:42Backup, where do we think the rumor started?
13:44Nowhere, like everywhere
13:46How are we further from figuring this out than when we started?
13:49I call for backup
13:50Hi again
13:51Thank God, a normal teenager
13:53No offense, it's just your classmates tend to be
13:57Overwhelmed by their own champagne problems, I 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
14:09But it's definitely a factor
14:10Well, we're not done with the interviews yet
14:12But so far no one we have talked to has said they're the one who started the rumor
14:16They all claim to have heard it from someone else
14:18Right, so Reese heard about it from CJ
14:20Who heard about it from Zoe, who saw it in a DM from um
14:25You said that Reese heard about it from CJ?
14:26That's what she told us
14:27Uh, that doesn't make any sense
14:29They got in a huge fight last week about, you know, whether or not
14:32Sending nudes to other people counts as cheating
14:34They haven't spoken to each other since
14:35And word in the halls is that Zoe and CJ are the new it couple
14:38Oh my God, yes, I was totally picking up on that vibe
14:41But I saw that Zoe wasn't following CJ on 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 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? Reese
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
15:26So, I mean, she would do anything that Reese says
15:30So if Reese told Dakota to lie about where she heard about the body
15:34This is all coming back to Reese
15:36Okay, so is Reese's 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
16:17Right
16:19You know, one of those gays, if they locked behind her, she could be trapped or too injured to crawl
16:23out
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
16:38God
16:47Desmond
16:47Where are you?
16:49I'm inside a service tunnel looking for Sadie
16:50I called the shelter, she showed up this morning
16:52You're kidding
16:53Well, why didn't they call us?
16:55They 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, I just got back
17:29Well, Smitty was with you
17:30Right
17:32Oh, I'm gonna have a lot of favors after dragging the cavalry through the sewers
17:35Okay, first of all, do not refer to any group that includes Smitty as the cavalry in second
17:40Those guys will forgive you
17:41Or, you know, somebody else will screw up way worse and 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
17:52So just take a second to wallow in this, but then get cleaned up and get back out there, yeah?
17:56Yeah
18:04Oh, you're too kind
18:06Yes, I'm really looking forward to working with you as well, Madam Mayor
18:08Okay, bye-bye
18:10Sorry, I've been so busy
18:12Before I make the big move upstairs, I wanted to get our house in order
18:16A little bit, clear the deck
18:17So, we have 27 felony arrests, waiting prosecution, we just do not have the manpower
18:24Gonna take them all to trial
18:25Why? Did you lose some ADAs or something?
18:29There's been turnover, yes
18:31So I've got plea deals approved for all these cases and I need you both to get them signed ASAP
18:36Murder two? This 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? Did the DA sign
18:47off 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
18:54Make them agree
19:06Apple Pruitt, she lives in my building
19:08Her 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
19:20No, but this one's weird
19:21Apple has a strong social media presence but didn't post anything about what happened this year
19:27There was a massive dust storm, they canceled day two at the Sahara tent
19:30I mean, everyone was posting about it
19:32It's not exactly a smoking gun
19:34Okay, listen, I 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 the case near your house so you can investigate it from your living room
19:49When 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
20:11Why 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, they couldn't afford anything extra
20:27Okay, so the parents are paying for grades so the kids get into a better college
20:31But I mean, why kill him?
20:34Maybe, he 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?
20:45Um, I think I may be taking a gap year
20:48From your social media accounts, it seems like you're all about Yale
20:52That 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
21:09We know that's not true
21:12But you did tell Dakota, and Travis, and Lynette
21:17You know what that tells me?
21:20You 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?
21:36I stayed late on Tuesday
21:37My 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 gonna come take you home
22:34Is that right?
22:36Yeah, it's fine
22:36He shows up every six to eight months to 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, I will tell you more about it, okay?
22:48Hey, this is my guy
22:50How you doing?
22:51Still 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
22:58Tiger Bear has one more investor signed 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, no
23:06That was the last one
23:07Tiger Bear Whiskey Tequila is the whiskey-less start-up
23:10It's gonna 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 dead behind the school gym today
23:21Damn it!
23:24Sorry, sorry, uh, okay, uh, keep going
23:26So Dash was working out and, uh...
23:29Just take me home
23:30Will they have to excavate the passenger seat for parking tickets again, or...
23:33He's joking, I am a model citizen
23:35I don't see that
23:39Dash
23:41I'm around if you need me
23:43So we gotta stop by my place first
23:44But we'll make it a pro-out, you know
23:46Or some za, we'll watch last week's UFC
23:48No problem?
23:50Just the universal unfairness of the world, nothing actionable
23:57Thanks for coming in
23:58This is a plea deal
23:59And before you ask, it's the best deal your client's gonna get
24:01I know, murder too, it 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
24:09The man had end-stage heart disease
24:11Now, a jury could see that as extenuating circumstances
24:15I mean, if the jury was blind, maybe they'd see that as a gang tattoo
24:20But I don't have to risk that possibility if you just say yes to the plea
24:23I mean, who cares there's no precedent for a felony prosecution this severe
24:27So what if our only witness has been charged with perjury and false accusations in two other cases?
24:32I mean, if you think you could do better at trial, you just push that plea deal right back at
24:36me
24:58The music is nowhere near too loud
25:01I'm Officer Juarez with LAPD
25:03Yeah, I'm following your roommate, Apple Pruitt's case
25:05Yeah, she hasn't come home, right?
25:08No, no, I'm, I'm, we're sick
25:11Do you mind if I come inside?
25:14Sure, 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 to help me with this crazy rant
25:29Not that Apple is great about paying
25:33She 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 was right before she left for Coachella?
25:52She loved 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'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
26:49She wants to think of her
26:54I'm not sure
26:55She wants to talk to her
26:58But she's not doing anything
26:58She wants to talk to her
27:00Do you want to say anything?
27:00Is it okay?
27:11I'm sorry, sorry!
27:13It's not what you think!
27:28Hey, hold on.
27:49I'm sorry, I'm sorry.
28:01This is Officer Juarez, badge number 53397.
28:04I'm code 4 with a possible 245 suspect.
28:07Also suspected of an 187 sent 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.
28:26So, 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.
28:38Want some?
28:39Uh, no thanks.
28:39I just shotgunned some gasoline.
28:41Uh-uh.
28:50Oh God.
28:51I had some serious stuff.
28:53Hey, um, so this fancy private school of yours...
28:56Where a teacher was just murdered?
28:58Really?
28:59How have you not been paying attention?
29:01Never mind.
29:02Of course you're out.
29:03All I'm saying is you're in the perfect spot to 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.
29:14Anyways, you would be helping out the family if 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!
29:26I know you ain't there.
29:27Open the damn door.
29:32We're gonna 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.
29:40Um, so a few of my friends are here.
29:42Um, you gotta go hide.
29:44Why would I hide from your friends?
29:46Just go.
29:46Go.
29:47And don't come out.
29:48No matter what.
29:57Dash?
29:58I think I might be in some trouble.
30:03Fellas.
30:03Wait, wait, wait.
30:04I'm sorry about the confusion.
30:06Your money.
30:06It'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.
30:18Just one more day.
30:20Like two times.
30:21Wait, wait, wait.
30:21No.
30:22All right, stay hidden until we get there.
30:24I can't.
30:26They'll kill him.
30:27I have to do something.
30:29No, 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.
30:39He 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.
30:51Stomp both his ends in a suit.
30:53Pass.
30:53And pass.
30:55How about we go with my plan instead?
30:58Rob 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.
31:23The 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.
31:31Her 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.
31:43Yeah?
31:44Well, let's hope she get paid in diamond bracelets.
31:47You 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, your dad is the biggest train wreck 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, I 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 is set up, 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 movie, so 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... I 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?
33:21Steal anything that's shiny.
33:26Now, take me to your parents' room, and they'd better have a bulk load of watches and jury.
33:29Hey, hey.
33:29Whoa, whoa. Those whiskey bottles are worth like $500 each.
33:31I'm just gonna grab a couple.
33:33Show me.
33:34All right.
33:40How about this?
33:41The Merlot, really?
33:42No, dude, those two are worth way more.
33:54All right, all right.
33:56Let's go.
34:21Oh, my God.
34:28Hey! Where's the jewelry?
34:30Closet.
34:31All right.
34:33Hey, hey! Stay here!
34:40Okay.
34:45I cannot believe you brought them to my house.
34:47I panicked, okay? They were gonna kill my dad.
34:50Besides, you weren't supposed to be here.
34:52I would never knowingly put you in danger.
34:54Because you have the huts for me.
34:55I have romantic intentions, yeah, but clearly you don't share them, so...
35:02It's not like you're not cute. You'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.
35:17Your parents are freaky.
35:18Hey, what the hell are you doing? Get away from there!
35:20Oh, no. Sorry.
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, you know?
35:37When it's convenient for me.
35:39Like, I want to be better.
35:41Like, I really do.
35:42I think about it all the time.
35:44Well, not all the time.
35:46You're at the heart of the problem, really.
35:48I just gotta be better.
35:50The kid deserves a role model,
35:51not the lame and hot mess I am on a daily basis.
35:56Feels really good to come clean about this, you know?
35:58It's kind of cathartic.
35:59Hey, kid, ah!
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, so you're in the clear.
36:06Just...
36:06You can do whatever you want to be, just let her go.
36:08Hey, man, you got balls, kid.
36:10I'm like your father, but she cannot stay here, all right?
36:12Let's go!
36:13There's a gold bar in that bedside table.
36:14Yeah, right.
36:15I'm serious.
36:16But if you want to leave it, like...
36:18All right, stay right here.
36:20Don't move.
36:24Oh!
36:26Get back!
36:28Drop it!
36:31Come on, get up.
36:34Hey, you okay?
36:36Physically.
36:38Yeah, give me this.
36:40Come here.
36:41Ow!
36:43Thanks.
36:44And thanks for trying to save me.
36:46Yeah.
36:47Anytime.
36:48Oh!
36:49Thank God.
36:51Although, I knew it was all going to be all right.
36:53Hey, um, maybe we don't tell your mom about this.
36:56You know, we just keep it a bro thing.
36:58So we can...
36:58Just stop.
37:00Everything that you do, everything that you say is just so selfish, so toxic.
37:05You haven't done one fatherly thing for me in my entire life.
37:08All you care about is yourself, and I'm just sick of it.
37:12I'm done with you.
37:14Forever.
37:15What?
37:24So, we met with all 27 defendants.
37:27It's the craziest thing.
37:29We tried our hardest.
37:30None of them would accept a plea deal.
37:31Not a one.
37:32Well, I hope you've kept your weekends clear, because now you've got 27 trials you're going
37:36to need to prepare for.
37:37Hmm.
37:39About that.
37:41I quit.
37:42And I'd say best of luck.
37:44But I hope you fail.
37:45Spectacularly.
37:46Sorry, Sean.
37:47I just can't.
37:47No.
37:48No worries.
37:49I can't either.
37:51I quit, too.
37:52Oh.
37:53Hey, 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.
38:02Way ahead of you.
38:03Not my first rodeo.
38:05Now we just need your clothes for evidence, and then, uh, free to go.
38:10After everything that happened?
38:12The DA may still press charges, but it's pretty clear you were under duress.
38:17I really wanted this time to be different.
38:19I was going to buy a dash of car with the tiger bear money.
38:22I looked to make up for lost time, you know?
38:25But, he's right.
38:26I screw everything up.
38:28He's better off without me.
38:30Probably.
38:32I've had some experience with bad fathers, and the love the sons feel for them, no matter
38:38how many times they get their hearts broken.
38:40And unless you're willing to change, and I mean really change, the best thing you can
38:47do for Dash is just leave him the hell alone.
38:57I've made all these mistakes, but I've made all these mistakes.
38:59What were you thinking?
39:02I'm fine.
39:03Thanks for asking.
39:04Do you know how close you were to becoming a missing person yourself?
39:07If she would have succeeded in killing you, how would I have known?
39:09First thing she'd do is destroy your phone.
39:11So when I pulled to your last known location, it would be your building.
39:16So to me and the world, you were home and then you vanished.
39:19Well, I see that now.
39:21It's just I figured I'd stop by and ask a few questions.
39:23We have protocols for a reason.
39:27Yes, sir.
39:29I let my best intentions obscure my judgment, proving I still have a lot to learn about
39:35this 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 that gives you a feeling, call me.
39:53I am happy to run down any lead I can for you, free of charge.
40:02Deal.
40:04And for what it's worth, I'm glad you're okay.
40:24Your dad's gone and your mom's on her way.
40:27Cool.
40:30You want to talk about anything?
40:33Uh, not really.
40:34I think I'm a little talked out for once.
40:38Understood.
40:42You're not at the risk of sounding overly earnest.
40:46You're a very special young man.
40:48Despite or maybe even because of what your father's put you through.
40:54Now, I know you know that you're not him in any, any way, shape, or form.
41:00But I also know that family pain is emotional and not intellectual.
41:10I'm just trying to say, uh, if you ever need a reminder of this conversation, you have my number.
41:18Thanks.
41:20And just to be clear, you're saying I can call you every morning at the crack of dawn just to
41:24tell me I'm awesome?
41:25No.
41:26Every other morning.
41:27Twice a week, final offer.
41:29I can live with that.
41:31If you can live with unlimited texts, DMs, and social media shout-outs, just the calls.
41:37Okay.
41:39Smart man.
42:19Damn it.
