00:00Previously on The Rookie
00:01Mom.
00:02Hey, Timmy.
00:03Tell your boss the secure phone network is no longer secure.
00:07Federal ears are listening.
00:10Come on, buddy.
00:11It's creepy how easily he can fake loving his family.
00:14They're his disguise. They just don't know it.
00:15Traffic camera just captured Glasser and his victim in a green Jeep Cherokee.
00:19All those bodies they found.
00:22Liam did them.
00:23Yes.
00:39Yeah, so there's really no script for this.
00:42You know, family court judges, they hear BS all day long.
00:45They just want sincerity.
00:47Remember, you have every right to be there.
00:48No matter how they have the allegations.
00:51So just speak from the heart, emphasize how much you miss your kids.
00:54I'll handle the rest.
00:56Hold on one sec.
01:00Morning.
01:01Morning.
01:09Liam!
01:13Liam, are you there?
01:31Hey.
01:33Hey.
01:33Good news.
01:34Kojo made a new friend at the dog park this morning.
01:36It's the sweetest little labradoodle.
01:39You can tell he doesn't have two brain cells to wrap together, but boy, is he trying.
01:43And he is right at Kojo's level.
01:47Oh, and I ran into Mrs. Grant.
01:49She wants to invite us over for dinner on Saturday.
01:52No, say no.
01:53She is the biggest gossip in the neighborhood.
01:55I am aware, which is why I said yes.
01:59I need to know what's going on with that yellow house.
02:03Okay, fine.
02:04But if she starts listing off her ailments, I am faking a family emergency.
02:08Deal.
02:09Okay, I'm going to be late.
02:10I need to shower.
02:11Um, I'm going to be late.
02:12Okay.
02:21Don't let the eggs burn.
02:22Yep, I'm on it.
02:25Huh?
02:31Yeah.
02:32Sir.
02:34What?
02:35What?
02:52How's he doing?
02:53Stable for now.
02:54He got hit twice.
02:55How about Glasser?
02:56Not a scratch on him.
02:58Do we know anything?
02:59That looks like a drive-by shooting.
03:00The mail carrier got shot.
03:01And Glasser did not.
03:03Doesn't seem fair.
03:04Innocent bystander takes around while an equally innocent civilian escapes harm.
03:10Regardless of the target, our job remains the same.
03:12Contain the scene and investigate.
03:14Go push back the lines.
03:15Preston's going to be landing soon.
03:16We need to control the whole block.
03:18Yes, sir.
03:18Morning.
03:20All right.
03:21Let's get to it.
03:24Sir, what's going on?
03:25My name is Malcolm Walsh.
03:27I'm in Glasser.
03:27I need to get all your lightnings.
03:29Mr. Glasser, glad you're okay.
03:32How sweet of you to say.
03:34Any idea who did this?
03:36I can only imagine.
03:37Given my wrongful arrest and detention, there are a lot of people who remain angry with me.
03:42Despite my being found innocent.
03:44Being found innocent and not prosecuted are two different things.
03:47Look, none of that matters.
03:48We're going to need a list of names.
03:49Anyone who's threatened you recently.
03:51Of course, I'm happy to help.
03:52Liam, you all right?
03:54Given the circumstances.
03:55This attack needs to be investigated with the full weight of the LAPD, or I will ran down...
03:59Okay, dial it down, Counselor.
04:01We responded in full force as soon as that 911 call came in, and we are ready to dedicate any
04:05necessary resources.
04:06Now, Sergeant Chen will take a formal statement from Mr. Glasser while Officer Nolan and I go inside.
04:10Hold on, hold on.
04:11You do not have permission to enter my client's home.
04:13The crime scene is out here.
04:15Actually, you're wrong.
04:16We need to retrieve those bullets, which means we need to go inside.
04:19I'm not giving you a chance to plant evidence.
04:21That's not going to happen.
04:22You expect me to believe that after the campaign of harassment against my...
04:24Sir, the law couldn't be any more clear.
04:26If you're worried about misconduct, you can review these body cams once this case is over.
04:32All right, why don't you tell me everything that happened?
04:35The more thorough you are, the better.
04:36You think he's afraid we'll find something incriminating?
04:39No, Glasser's too disciplined to leave trophies in the house.
04:41Malcolm's just being a lawyer.
04:45Wife and kids left him, right?
04:47Yeah, no long after the arrest, the house became a focal point for the anger of the victim,
04:51so she filed a restraining order against him and moved to other parents.
04:55Police!
04:56Someone here?
04:57Shut yourself.
04:58Now!
05:01Oops.
05:02And all the excitement I forgot.
05:08Hi.
05:09Ooh.
05:10My girlfriend's inside.
05:13I just woke up.
05:15What's happening?
05:16There was a shooting.
05:17Who are you?
05:18Daisy Gallagher.
05:20Otherwise known as the love of Liam's life.
05:22I'm going to make some coffee.
05:24You want any?
05:29New firm.
05:30Day one.
05:32Although, I got to say, it'd feel a little more real if we actually had, you know, our own office.
05:38To be fair, we did.
05:39Just, the building got condemned.
05:41And our security deposit?
05:42I'm working on that.
05:43But the office, it doesn't matter.
05:45We can be lawyers anywhere.
05:47We need clients, Wes.
05:49Otherwise, we're just two dudes having coffee in your house,
05:51which I'm sure Angela cannot be happy about.
05:54Correct.
05:54She'd threaten me with a slow and painful death if we're not out of here by Thursday.
05:57Yeah.
05:58Hey.
06:00Maybe this is a new client.
06:01Yeah, right.
06:02Hello.
06:03Yo.
06:04Hi.
06:05I, uh, I got your name from Monica Stevens.
06:09She used to be my lawyer, but now I guess she got disbarred or something.
06:13Anyway, I'm in a bit of a jam, or a potential jam,
06:17and she said that, um, I should hire you.
06:22She said that $50,000 should get the ball rolling.
06:25Yeah.
06:26Uh, that is a solid retainer.
06:30Can you tell me what your potential legal liability is?
06:33Not on the phone.
06:34Just come to my house.
06:36I'll text you the address.
06:37Oh, hey, can you pick up some single malt on the way?
06:42Uh...
06:42You know what?
06:43Never mind.
06:43I'll just order it myself.
06:45Hurry, because I think the cops might swing by on the soon side.
06:49Uh, yeah.
06:51Come on.
06:52You're pulling my leg.
06:53You're telling me that was a potential client?
06:54It is indeed, and he's in immediate need of our services.
06:58Just give me one sec.
06:59Yeah, do you think?
07:02You're welcome.
07:04Thanks, I think.
07:05Anything we need to know about this guy?
07:07Ethan McAvoy.
07:09Oh.
07:10So he made a fortune at the dawn of the Internet
07:12and has done literally nothing since,
07:14except try to spend it all on bad lifestyle choices.
07:17He's a dream client.
07:18He's always getting into some kind of trouble.
07:21Sometimes he forgets that he's already paid
07:23and sends a duplicate check.
07:25Which you return promptly, of course.
07:27You're adorable.
07:29Um, hey, I've got to jump.
07:31Good luck.
07:39Sam.
07:39Thanks for getting back to me so quick.
07:41Why the hell did I get a bagel
07:42with a side of burner phone delivered to my door?
07:44I want a meeting with Aiden.
07:47That's not happening.
07:48You're a rat.
07:51No, I'm a double agent.
07:54Remember?
07:55I gave your boss a heads up
07:57that the FBI had access to the encrypted phone system.
07:59I saved him and you from certain prosecution.
08:02Yeah, well, technically, I gave him the heads up, all right?
08:04Your name was never even mentioned.
08:05So peddle your cheat game
08:06and quit pro quo somewhere else.
08:08Aiden's off limits.
08:15Someone shot at Liam Glasser.
08:17What?
08:18Was he hit?
08:18No.
08:19But the mailman was.
08:20They just took him into surgery.
08:22Where the hell is karma when you need her?
08:23Tell me about it,
08:24but we probably shouldn't joke about it
08:25given what happened.
08:27And his lawsuit against the LAPD.
08:29Did they catch the shooter?
08:31Not yet.
08:33Who's that?
08:34Missing person Daniel Gordon, 33.
08:36Went to a party in the hills last night
08:38and didn't return.
08:39It's not even noon yet.
08:40He could be just sleeping off a bender.
08:42Daniel's brother went to the party house himself
08:44at 6 a.m.,
08:44found the front door open and the house empty.
08:47There was blood in the primary bedroom
08:50and a chair with restraints still attached.
08:52So either Daniel was the one tying people up
08:55or he was the one in the chair.
08:57Agreed.
08:57This is a delicate situation
08:59and I promise you
09:00we are handling this with the utmost care.
09:03Hey.
09:03Mom.
09:04Hey.
09:05Hey, what are you doing here?
09:06I'm staying with the boys
09:07while Jenny is at a teacher's conference in Las Vegas.
09:11Wait.
09:12Did she tell you I was...
09:13Yes.
09:14That you're thinking about proposing.
09:16So,
09:17I brought Grandma's ring.
09:19Mom.
09:21She's not here, is she?
09:23No?
09:24I'm sorry.
09:24I'm sorry.
09:25I'm so excited.
09:26Wait, you just travel with Grandma's ring?
09:28Well, my lord,
09:29you introduced me to Lucy
09:30and she's so fabulous.
09:32And I thought I better be prepared.
09:35Yeah.
09:36Mom, this is, uh,
09:37this is so sweet.
09:39But I have a very busy day,
09:41so maybe we can just...
09:42Okay.
09:43Talk about this aftershooter.
09:44Yeah.
09:44Yeah.
09:44And I am so happy for you.
09:46And it means a lot to me
09:48that you want to use Grandma's ring.
09:56Round-the-clock surveillance
09:57is tens of thousands of dollars.
09:59Is that coming out of your salary?
10:01No?
10:01Then I don't see the problem.
10:03He wants us to offer Glasser
10:0424-hour security.
10:06You haven't caught the shooter.
10:07He's in danger.
10:08I'll have units check on him hourly
10:09until this is resolved.
10:10Yeah, that's not good enough.
10:12Okay, look,
10:12we are already understaffed.
10:14I need resources
10:14to protect the rest of the city.
10:16Look, Glasser's suing the city
10:17for six million dollars.
10:17If something happens to him
10:18under your watch,
10:19that could double.
10:20Every time the LAPD settles,
10:22that's more money we don't have
10:23for foster care and homelessness.
10:25Yeah, we're well aware.
10:26You may not be able to afford
10:26to protect Glasser,
10:27but the city can't afford not to.
10:29So figure it out.
10:30Understood.
10:31We will not let Liam Glasser
10:32out of our sight.
10:34Make it fast.
10:37This is a nightmare.
10:38Yeah, it is what it is.
10:40Guys, I need you on the shooter.
10:41The faster we bring him in,
10:42the faster Glasser's out of our lives.
10:44Now, my money is on a family member
10:45of one of the victims.
10:46So cross-reference that list
10:48with Gray Sedan,
10:49see if anyone bought a gun recently.
10:51Got it.
10:52And you're sure you want me on this?
10:56Every step of this case
10:57needs to be bulletproof.
10:58I know you'll make sure it is.
11:12We need to get to court.
11:14Well, maybe I should request
11:16an adjournment.
11:17With this shooting,
11:17we have clear extenuating circumstances.
11:20Yeah, ones that can make him
11:21hesitant to rule in my favor.
11:23Yes, sir.
11:24LAPD will be providing
11:25round-the-clock protection for you
11:27until this shooter's been apprehended.
11:29You're my bodyguard?
11:31Officer Pan and I
11:32will be taking the first shift.
11:33Yes, sir.
11:34Hmm.
11:36Then you can escort us to court.
11:38Court?
11:38For what?
11:39I'm suing my ex-wife
11:40for joint custody of our children.
11:56It took you long enough.
11:59Score.
12:00So, last night,
12:02I rented a house in the hills.
12:04Just a selective little get-together
12:06for a hundred of my closest friends.
12:07I don't actually remember most of it
12:10because I was strung way out
12:12on some premium yayo.
12:13And then...
12:16This morning,
12:17I got a call from the brother
12:19of one of my guests.
12:20Someone I barely know, by the way.
12:23And it turns out
12:23that this particular guest,
12:25Daniel,
12:26didn't make it home.
12:28When was the last time
12:29that you saw Daniel?
12:30Last night at the party.
12:31Everything was chill.
12:33I mean, he was still there
12:35when I bounced at, like, 2 a.m.
12:37Okay.
12:38That's good.
12:38Has Daniel ever been inside this house?
12:40No way.
12:40I barely know the guy.
12:42So, there's nothing the cops could find
12:43if they were to show up with a warrant?
12:45Absolutely not.
12:46A warrant or no warrant.
12:47When the cops do come knocking,
12:48it might be a good idea
12:49to put on some fresh clothes
12:51and maybe not be high as a kite.
12:53Right?
12:54Yeah.
12:54That's a good point.
12:56Let me go get cleaned up.
12:57Okay.
12:59Oops.
13:01It's not a bathroom.
13:02It seems incredible
13:04considering this place
13:05has, like, 19 of them.
13:10Oh, my God.
13:16Uh...
13:16Hey, everything okay?
13:17Yes.
13:19Sorry.
13:19Maybe.
13:20Uh, remind me of the rules.
13:23Legally.
13:23If you see a dead body,
13:25do you have to tell somebody?
13:27Is there a dead body in your bathroom?
13:29I feel like you should answer
13:30my question first.
13:32Right.
13:33Right.
13:35Hypothetically.
13:35If there was somebody in there,
13:38would calling 911 for medical attention
13:41be of any benefit to them at all?
13:43No.
13:44Okay, would you excuse us for a minute?
13:46I just need to confer with my colleague.
13:47Come here.
13:51What the hell are we doing here?
13:52Look, if we don't know what's in that room,
13:55we've got nothing to say to the police.
13:56I am not comfortable with this.
13:57Join the club, Sean.
13:58But this is the job.
14:00Our duty is to our client,
14:01and the law is crystal clear.
14:03The people versus Meredith.
14:04Attorney-client privilege
14:05is not limited to conversation.
14:06It also extends to observations
14:08made as a consequence
14:09of protected communications.
14:11Right?
14:12Yeah.
14:13Motion sensor alarm.
14:15Front door.
14:16Terrific.
14:27Why is my husband's car here?
14:31Hey!
14:32What are you doing here?
14:33Oh, uh, well, Sean and I signed our first client.
14:36Hey!
14:38Great.
14:38We need to talk to him about the party
14:40he threw in the hills last night.
14:43Yeah, that's not going to happen.
14:47You know how this works.
14:48Ethan McAvoy is exercising
14:50his Fifth Amendment right
14:51to prevent against self-incrimination.
14:52Oh, believe me, I get it.
14:54Daniel Gordon is missing,
14:55and your client was the last person
14:56to see him alive.
14:57Of course he doesn't want to talk to us.
14:59Oh, come on.
15:00There were 100 people at that party.
15:02It's a bit of a stretch to assume
15:03that Ethan was involved
15:04in something nefarious.
15:05Well, actually,
15:06we talked to several of the party guests,
15:08and they witnessed Daniel and Ethan
15:09arguing when Daniel wanted to leave
15:10around 1 a.m.
15:11Yeah, Ethan pulled him back inside,
15:13said he had something cool
15:14to show him upstairs,
15:15and this morning,
15:16police found blood and restraints
15:17in the primary bedroom
15:18along with personal items
15:19belonging to Daniel,
15:20but no Daniel.
15:22Hmm.
15:24Well, that is all
15:26incredibly circumstantial
15:27and irrelevant at this moment
15:28because you do not have a warrant
15:30to enter this house.
15:32We'll be back with the search warrant.
15:35I look forward to that.
15:43I got a gift for you.
15:45I doubt it.
15:45Actually, it's more for the task force,
15:47but I'm hoping to get paid
15:49a little extra.
15:51And there it is.
15:52But it would be money well spent.
15:54The FBI has been chasing
15:56Aiden Warner for a decade.
15:58Now, I hear his right-hand man,
16:00Sam Warwick,
16:01is looking for a way out.
16:02If you make the right approach,
16:03he'll flip on his boss.
16:04But you need to move quick.
16:07What are you looking
16:08to get out of this?
16:09I was thinking six figures,
16:12maybe seven.
16:14Lucky for me,
16:15that's a Garza conversation to have.
16:17Fair enough.
16:17Now, I assume you have
16:20a point of view
16:21of how I should make contact.
16:24That I do.
16:27You know, you should really
16:28consider rehab.
16:29I know a great facility.
16:31Yeah, yeah, okay.
16:32It's on my bucket list.
16:34Yeah.
16:37How'd that go?
16:38Oh, it's fine.
16:38They're gone.
16:39But they will come back
16:41when they have a warrant,
16:42and they will find
16:42whatever it is you're hiding.
16:45Yeah, understood.
16:48I am dead on my feet.
16:53I'm going to crash
16:54for a couple hours,
16:55and then I'll be able
16:57to think more clearly.
17:01Seriously, fellas,
17:03you don't got to go home,
17:04but you can't stay here.
17:07Don't do anything
17:08to make this worse.
17:17Hi, Mr. Farina.
17:19Yes, this is Detective
17:20Nyla Harper.
17:21I need to talk with you
17:21about Liam Glass.
17:24Hello?
17:28Yes, I am calling
17:29regarding an attack
17:30made on Liam Glass, sir.
17:34I was hoping to verify
17:35your whereabouts
17:36at 7 this morning.
17:37Are you there?
17:40Yeah, so according
17:41to my record,
17:42you own a gray sedan.
17:43Is that...
17:45Hello?
17:46I need to talk with you
17:48about Liam Glass, sir.
17:49And you're gone.
17:52Hey, any luck
17:53with the victim's families?
17:54I am still working
17:55my way down the list.
17:57Half of them hang up
17:57when I mention Glass,
17:59sir, half hang up
17:59when I give my name,
18:00and the other half say
18:01if I shot at that bastard,
18:03I wouldn't have missed.
18:04I don't think
18:04that's how math works,
18:05but hey, what do I know?
18:07Ballistics report.
18:08Shooter used
18:09a 9mm handgun.
18:10Really?
18:11It's not exactly
18:11a weapon of choice
18:12for a drive-by.
18:13No wonder they missed.
18:14All right, I will check
18:15the gun registry
18:16for the victim's
18:17family members.
18:19Bradford, your office.
18:21Godspeed.
18:22First thing we do,
18:23let's kill all the lawyers.
18:25Shakespeare said that.
18:26What did Wesley do?
18:27He's representing
18:28the prime suspect
18:28in a potential homicide
18:29I'm investigating,
18:30and he's jamming me up.
18:32Okay, so his job
18:32is now to make you
18:33do your job.
18:34You've been here before.
18:35You'll do it again.
18:35Jury's out
18:36on whether the marriage
18:36survives it.
18:38Speaking of,
18:42there is something
18:43that I would like
18:45to show you
18:45in secret.
18:48Oh my God,
18:49it's finally happening.
18:50Keep your voice down.
18:51Yes, it is happening
18:52eventually,
18:53but my mom found out
18:54and ran over here
18:55with my grandma's
18:55engagement ring,
18:56and now I don't know
18:57what to think.
18:58I think using
18:59a family ring
18:59is a beautiful way
19:00to honor the...
19:01Oh no.
19:03You can't use this.
19:05Right?
19:06It's so gaudy.
19:07And purple.
19:09Is that part of the problem?
19:10Maybe I could just
19:11switch out the stone.
19:12It's all a problem.
19:13You cannot propose
19:14to Lucy
19:14with this monstrosity.
19:24Nice place.
19:29Whatever you're selling,
19:30I don't want it.
19:31That's not what I heard.
19:32Monica tells me
19:33you're in a difficult
19:34situation
19:35and you're looking
19:35for a way out.
19:37I can help with that.
19:39I don't know
19:39what you're talking about.
19:41Look, I get it.
19:41It's a big step,
19:42but what we can...
20:03Aiden.
20:04That's all right, Jay.
20:06Monica here
20:07is an old friend.
20:08A better friend
20:08than you even realize.
20:10I'm here with information
20:11that'll save your life.
20:12Really?
20:13There's a mole
20:14in your organization.
20:15The only mole here
20:16is you.
20:17Everybody knows
20:18that you work
20:18for the FBI.
20:19Which is how I know
20:20that lately
20:21your name has been
20:22on every federal agent's lips.
20:24I wondered why.
20:25So I did
20:26a little investigating.
20:28That is Lieutenant
20:29Wade Gray
20:30of the LAPD
20:31FBI Task Force
20:32meeting with
20:33your number two.
20:35You've been sold out
20:36by the man
20:37you trusted the most.
20:38Maybe.
20:39Or maybe this is
20:40just a setup.
20:42No.
20:43Remember when Sam
20:44told you
20:45that the FBI
20:45had cracked
20:46into the encrypted
20:46phone network?
20:47He steered you
20:49to use the system
20:49that he found?
20:50that was under instructions
20:52from the task force.
20:56We'll find out.
20:59Hey!
21:00Whatever she's telling you
21:01it's a lie.
21:03You talking to the feds,
21:04Sam?
21:05No.
21:05She has
21:06you on video.
21:07That guy just sat down.
21:08She's probably
21:09the one who sent him.
21:10How did you know
21:10about the encrypted phones
21:11then?
21:12She told me!
21:12I did not!
21:14Okay, let's say I did.
21:16Don't you think
21:17Sam here
21:17would have told you
21:18that that information
21:19came from me?
21:20You bitch.
21:29She's right.
21:30No.
21:32For God's sakes, man,
21:33she's lying!
21:36She's lying!
21:40Finish him off.
21:52Wait.
21:55Why shouldn't I just
21:56toss you in there with him?
21:57Because I can help you.
21:59I'm looking for
22:00an exit package.
22:01A one-time payment
22:01that will get me
22:02out of the game for life.
22:03If you give me that,
22:04I will get the FBI
22:05to target any one
22:07you want.
22:08Clear the field
22:09of your rivals
22:10so you can corner
22:11the market.
22:31They were supposed
22:32to use the other
22:32entrance.
22:33Dad?
22:34Hey, buddy.
22:34Stay away from him.
22:35Three-screening order
22:35is still enforceable here.
22:37He just wants
22:37to hug his child.
22:38Cut the theatrics.
22:39No contact
22:40outside supervised visits
22:42unless that judge
22:43does otherwise.
22:43And since he hasn't
22:44said that yet,
22:45we're going to abide
22:46by the terms.
22:46All right.
22:47We're not going
22:47to do this.
22:48Everyone take a step back.
22:52Why don't you get
22:53the O squared away?
22:55I don't know.
22:56Remember what we
22:57talked about?
22:57The judge might want
22:58to hear from you,
22:59but it'll be private.
23:00You can just tell them
23:01anything you feel,
23:02okay?
23:04Okay.
23:06What are you doing here?
23:08It's a protective detail.
23:09Why don't you get them
23:10inside and check
23:11the other doors?
23:12Gentlemen?
23:14I just need a minute.
23:17What do you mean
23:17protective?
23:18Someone shot at Liam
23:20this morning.
23:20What?
23:21Where?
23:22At the house.
23:23Oh, my God.
23:24Are we safe?
23:25Our best guess
23:26is someone blames Liam
23:27for what happened
23:27to their loved ones.
23:28He was the only target.
23:29No one else.
23:31I have to tell Diana,
23:32if anything,
23:32this will help us
23:33fight his custody suit.
23:34It's not safe for him
23:35to be around my children.
23:51Hey, you got a second?
23:53Yeah, I'm just waiting
23:54on the gun registry
23:55to get back to me
23:56about recent purchases
23:57that haven't made it
23:57into the system yet.
24:00Should I be scared?
24:02No, it's just beyond
24:04top secret.
24:06Oh, is it happening?
24:07It's complicated.
24:08You'll know why
24:09when you open the box.
24:12Sweet Lord.
24:13Okay.
24:14See, I thought Angela
24:14was overreacting.
24:15Is it really that bad?
24:16No, 100%.
24:18Let me guess.
24:19Grandmother?
24:20Yeah, and it'll break
24:21my mom's heart
24:22if I don't use it, but...
24:23But nothing.
24:24You get down on one knee
24:26and hand Lucy this abomination,
24:27she will start crying
24:29and not in a good way.
24:30Okay, well, on the other hand,
24:32I tell my mom Gigi's ring
24:33is hideous
24:33and she'll start crying too.
24:35I am suddenly starting
24:37to feel so much better
24:38about how my day is going.
24:40Thanks for nothing.
24:42Your Honor,
24:43this past year
24:44has been the most painful
24:45of my life.
24:46Being accused of
24:49horrific crimes
24:50that I did not commit
24:51almost broke me.
24:52But the one thing
24:53that kept me going
24:54was the thought
24:54that I would
24:55one day get to
24:56hold my children again.
24:59I know that the LAPD's
25:02allegations have
25:04destroyed my marriage.
25:06I've given up hope
25:07of convincing Miranda
25:08of my innocence.
25:12But I won't give up
25:13on my kids.
25:16I need them to know
25:17that I would never
25:20hurt anyone
25:22and that I love them.
25:28That's getting late.
25:29We are in recess
25:30until 11 a.m.
25:31tomorrow morning.
25:33That was perfect.
25:34We've got to
25:35one to a meeting.
25:35I'll call you later.
25:37Keep me safe.
25:39What do you think, John?
25:41Did I sway the judge?
25:43It's Officer Nolan.
25:44Let's go.
25:48What do you mean
25:48he's already been picked up?
25:50Where is my son?
25:51Stay with Glasser.
25:51Where's the woman
25:52who was here earlier?
25:53I don't, I'm sorry.
25:54I don't know.
25:55Your son knew the lady
25:56that picked him up.
25:57She said that she was his mom.
25:59I'm his mother!
26:01Officer, I need a full lockdown.
26:02Nobody in or out.
26:03Door-to-door search
26:04for Theo Glasser.
26:05Nine-year-old boy.
26:06Brown hair, blue sweater,
26:07brown pants.
26:08Hey, let me go with you.
26:08I have to help find him.
26:09Absolutely not.
26:10It's too dangerous.
26:11He does not leave
26:11this hallway.
26:12Yes, sir.
26:12Be with me.
26:13Come on.
26:14Excuse me.
26:17One of you's this way.
26:23That's it.
26:24Cancel lockdown.
26:25I got eyes on Theo.
26:26He's safe.
26:26He's cordoned.
26:27It's your card.
26:28The eight of spades.
26:30How'd you do that?
26:31Ma'am, please stand up.
26:32Step away from the boy.
26:33Oh, I'm not done with my trick.
26:35Stand up and step away now.
26:38Theo!
26:40Theo!
26:41Oh, my God.
26:42Did you tell the child center
26:43you were his mom?
26:44No, of course not.
26:46I said I was his stepmom.
26:48Stepmom?
26:48Well, I will be.
26:50I hope.
26:51I met Theo at the last visitation.
26:54Liam didn't tell you about me?
26:55She was reported as a potential babysitter,
26:57not some booty call.
27:00Daisy, what are you doing here?
27:01I came to see you and Theo.
27:04I'm so sorry Liam didn't tell you about us.
27:07I know it must be hard to find out this way.
27:09He tortured and killed eight people.
27:11Do you really think I care which one of us moves on first?
27:14All right, let's go back to our corners.
27:17Officer Penn, will you please escort Mr. Glasser and Daisy to their cars?
27:20I'll be right there.
27:21Let's go.
27:22Bye, Theo.
27:23I love you so much.
27:25Bye, Theo.
27:26Bye, Dad.
27:26Dad, he did this on purpose.
27:29He is toying with me to show that he is still in charge.
27:31I am so sorry this happened.
27:33There will be a full investigation, I promise.
27:35I'm sorry, I have to take this.
27:38Yeah?
27:39Hey, where are you?
27:40Family court.
27:41Officer Penn is escorting Mr. Glasser back to his car and with the ex-wife.
27:44Okay, do not let her out of your sight.
27:46Why?
27:46Three days ago, she bought a 9mm handgun.
27:56Mrs. Glasser.
27:58Calvert.
27:58I dropped his name months ago.
28:01Ms. Calvert, if you could please take a seat.
28:03How insane do you think I am?
28:06The stupidest thing I could do for my children is shoot at that man.
28:09Why would I risk prison when I'm the only parent, the only safe place those kids have?
28:14Okay, listen, I know that this can be difficult.
28:17You don't know anything.
28:18He is out of prison because of you.
28:21We could have moved away, rebuilt our lives anywhere else if it hadn't been for you.
28:25And you know what? If he gets access to those kids, that's on you too.
28:28Not entirely.
28:31Look, I am well-versed in your ex-husband's head games.
28:35He is playing you just like he played me.
28:38Taunting and goading until I acted irrationally.
28:42All the while playing the sweet and innocent victim.
28:45Yes.
28:46And he's going to use the fact that the LAPD suspects me of gun violence against him
28:51as leverage to get joint custody.
28:53He wins yet again. Thanks a lot for that.
28:59All right, so let's get you off of the suspect list so that does not happen.
29:08Look, the only way for you to take away his power is to not give yours away.
29:13I let my emotions take over, and that nearly cost me my career.
29:19Your family is on the line.
29:21The stakes could not be higher.
29:23And being painted as the crazy lady in a patriarchal justice system does not end well for you.
29:30I am on your side, Miranda.
29:32But you have to stay in control.
29:38So please, just...
29:43Talk to me.
29:57John?
30:01Hey.
30:02Is everything okay?
30:05Not really.
30:07I spent the day forcing myself to be professional next to a serial killer whom I have to pretend
30:13isn't a serial killer.
30:15And even worse,
30:17it looks like there's a very real chance he'll get joint custody of his kids.
30:21How is it that the universe loves Liam Glasser so much?
30:25Love is a strong word.
30:27His luck will run out eventually.
30:29I wish I could be satisfied with that idea.
30:31Look, no one is satisfied by that idea, John.
30:34It's just something we say to make ourselves feel better
30:37when we realize we can't control other people's lives.
30:40You're right.
30:43Life never promised to be just or fair.
30:46Neither does your job.
30:48But just so it is said out loud and your feelings are validated,
30:53it is totally unfair that you have to protect a serial killer who tried to kill you.
31:01Thank you for saying that.
31:03You make everything better.
31:09I'm sorry, but I have to pee.
31:12That's too bad.
31:13You should have thought of that before you engaged me.
31:19So your hunch paid off.
31:20Literally within an hour of us landing, he drove to a home improvement store.
31:23Let me guess, he wasn't there to improve his home.
31:26That is correct.
31:28Looks like he picked up a hacksaw and pretty much everything else you'd need to dispose of a body.
31:32Stay on him.
31:32I'll get the on-call judge to sign off on a warrant.
31:35A warrant?
31:37For what?
31:38Hmm?
31:39That's cute.
31:40But seriously, a warrant for what?
31:43Wouldn't you like to know?
31:44Uh, yeah, no, I would love to know.
31:46That would be very, very helpful for me,
31:47but I can tell that you're not going to help me.
31:51Hey, Sean.
31:52Hey.
31:52Maybe at Ethan's house.
31:53Angela's got her search warrant.
31:54I will be there in about...
31:56Daddy, what if I can?
32:00I'll be there when I can.
32:03Who wants chicken nuggets?
32:05Me!
32:05I want your warrant to get out here.
32:08I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry.
32:11I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry.
32:13Sean.
32:14She already had the warrant when I got here.
32:16Did she find anything?
32:20I know this looks bad, but I swear I'm innocent.
32:23We caught you cutting up the body.
32:25Okay, that I did do.
32:26I am killing you.
32:27Stop talking.
32:28Don't say a word until we talk to you at the station, okay?
32:45Are you saying that you can't help me?
32:47No, of course we can help.
32:48But they have evidence, Ethan.
32:50Very strong evidence that you killed Daniel Gordon.
32:53I didn't, though.
32:54It was Walter.
32:58Who's Walter?
33:00Old friend.
33:02Bad influence.
33:03I met him years ago when I was riding high.
33:06And a couple months ago we got together and I was telling him how the cash was finally going to
33:11run out.
33:13I was going to have to sell my house.
33:14And he said to me, I've got a plan.
33:18Something that he had done in Nevada and New York.
33:22Low risk, big payoff, foolproof.
33:26What was this plan?
33:27What did he need you to do?
33:28Rent a party house and invite a fund crowd.
33:32Walter had met this spot trader named Daniel who was bragging about his fat Bitcoin wallet.
33:38I was supposed to show the guy a good time, get him drunk, get him stoned, you know, bring him
33:43upstairs.
33:45And then Walter would hit him with some sodium pentothal.
33:47And an hour later, Daniel would give up his password.
33:51Next day he wouldn't remember a thing and by the time he checked his accounts we would have drained them
33:54dry.
33:55Daniel was beaten.
33:58I mean, I didn't stick around for any of that.
34:03I went home.
34:04Next thing I remember, it's morning.
34:06Daniel's brother's on the phone.
34:08And that's when I knew something bad must have happened.
34:11I've been texting Walter all day and he does not answer.
34:17Well, that's because he set you up.
34:18He snuck into your house after you were passed out, left Daniel's body in your bathroom.
34:22Probably split town.
34:26And what happens now?
34:28We know we'll do our best to cut you a good deal, but you are going to have to come
34:32clean.
34:33Tell the DA everything you know about Walter and what happened that night.
34:36And if I don't want to do that?
34:38They charge you with murder.
34:39You go to trial and in my professional opinion, you lose.
34:42But I didn't kill him.
34:44It doesn't matter what you did, Ethan.
34:45It matters what they can prove to a jury.
34:51Yeah.
34:54Okay.
34:55I didn't used to be this screwed up.
34:57I ran a successful business.
34:59People looked up to me.
35:01What the hell happened?
35:07This must be killing everyone.
35:09Needed to protect me after all we've been through?
35:12Tell me, how's Detective Harper doing with it?
35:16I wouldn't know.
35:19Tell her I've been thinking about her.
35:22I surely won't.
35:28Hey, what's up?
35:29Hey, are you at the courthouse yet?
35:31We're just landing now.
35:32Okay, you need to get Glasser to a secure location.
35:35We have ID'd the shooter.
35:36His name is Lance Thomas.
35:38Glasser killed his father.
35:39Lance's phone GPS puts him at the courthouse.
35:42And gun records show he bought more than just a 9mm.
35:56Get down!
35:57Get down!
36:02Officer down, shots fired, family courthouse.
36:04Shooter's a white male shotgun, dark-haired brown shirt.
36:11Police, drop the weapon!
36:14Police, drop it!
36:20Did you get back?
36:21I don't think so.
36:22All right, stay here.
36:22Ready for ambulance and backup.
36:23Ah!
36:30Ah!
36:38Ah!
36:41Get down!
36:42Ah!
36:44Ah!
36:46Ah!
36:46Ah!
36:47Ah!
36:48Yeah!
36:51Ah!
36:52Get out!
36:53Get out!
36:54Get out!
36:56Get out!
36:56Get out!
36:58Get out!
36:59Get out!
37:05Get out!
37:09Get out!
37:11Get out!
37:11Get out!
37:11Get out!
37:11He's got a gun!
37:14No!
37:15You killed my dad!
37:16No, I didn't!
37:17I didn't!
37:17The police!
37:18They made that all up!
37:20Shut up!
37:21You were the last one to get out!
37:22I'm the best face you saw.
37:23And now I'm the last face you'll ever see.
37:37Officer Daff!
37:40Oh my God!
37:40Officer Daff!
37:41I am requesting a R.N. to my location!
37:43Hey!
37:45Oh my God!
37:47Um!
37:49I did?
37:50No!
37:50As far as I can tell, the vest cut it off.
37:52I feel like I may kick my horse.
37:54Okay, look, stay still, okay?
37:56Ambulance is on the way.
37:58You took a bullet for me.
38:00Yeah, how about that?
38:13Are you okay?
38:14How did this happen?
38:15Oh, you know, I'm just being my regular heroic self.
38:18Did you check for a cardiac contusion?
38:20Yes.
38:20And a pneumothorax, because...
38:22A broken rib could puncture the pleural sack.
38:24Yes, we checked.
38:25Yeah, see, I am fine.
38:26That's not what I said.
38:27You'll be in agony for the next week.
38:29But all in all, you were very lucky.
38:34Looks like Glasser's not the only one the universe loves.
38:37This is too loose.
38:38I'm gonna fix this.
38:39Okay, I'm fine, I'm all right.
38:41You don't have to fuss.
38:42You don't get to tell me to stop fussing.
38:45I have been very clear.
38:47No getting shot.
38:48You get shot, there are serious consequences.
38:50Really?
38:51Like what?
38:51First of all, I'm gonna dote on you like a Victorian invalid.
38:54Torture.
38:55You will not lift a finger next week.
38:56That is strict but fair.
38:59I'm glad you're okay.
39:01Me too.
39:06So how do you feel about your first case as a defense attorney?
39:09Oh, it was...
39:11Different?
39:12You know, I used to think of the grieving families as my clients.
39:15Now I'm defending a guy who chops up bodies.
39:17They're not all as bad as Ethan.
39:20Some are worse.
39:21They pay less.
39:22Yeah, that's a great combo.
39:23Look, I get it though.
39:24I mean, Ethan's not a good guy.
39:26But when you got all this working against you,
39:28you need someone who's completely on your side.
39:30That's where we fit in.
39:32We keep them honest.
39:34And deep down, even Angela appreciates that.
39:36Yeah, maybe.
39:37I'll see you.
39:39Oh, you're not busy.
39:40If I enter an office space, you're gonna love.
39:42Great, as long as it's not in a strip mall.
39:44Well, come on.
39:45Can't beat the convenience of a cell phone repair and a boba tea right next door.
39:48How about I pick the office, okay?
40:15Hey, I'm excited.
40:20Lucy's not here, is she?
40:21No, but she'll be home in about 15 minutes.
40:24And I just wanted a little one-on-one time with my mom.
40:28Okay, why does that sound ominous?
40:30Because it's about Grandma's ring.
40:33You don't like it?
40:34No, it's very, very special.
40:37It is.
40:38And I was excited to give it to Lucy.
40:39But, you know, I went and got it appraised.
40:41And that stone, it's actually cut glass.
40:46It's fake?
40:47Yeah.
40:51Oh, my God.
40:53I wondered how Daddy could afford a ring so big straight out of high school.
40:57Look, I think Lucy would love it for its history, its sentimental value, but I can't ask her with it.
41:03I understand.
41:04I do.
41:07Is it really glass?
41:09Thank you for telling me.
41:11What if I took you ring shopping with me?
41:15I think I know Lucy's taste, but I would love to have your perspective.
41:18Really?
41:22Mom didn't ever get to do this part.
41:25I love that.
41:28Hey.
41:29What did I miss?
41:35One omelette, side of toast, and a glass of OJ.
41:39The classic breakfast in bed.
41:42Honestly, it's the only way to actually keep you in bed.
41:44Yes, because you're so good at sitting still.
41:47I mean, thank you, I love you.
41:49I could not ask for more.
41:51Are we out of coffee?
41:53I'll go get you some.
41:54I don't deserve you.
41:55You don't.
41:58Hello.
41:58It's Diana, Miranda's attorney.
42:00We need your help.
42:01She's gone AWOL.
42:03Her parents said she loaded up the car with the kids and left before dawn.
42:06If she misses her 2 p.m. court date today, she's going to get arrested for kidnapping.
42:10And Liam Glasser would get sole custody of those kids.
42:50Damn it.
42:54Damn it.
