Transcript

00:01What does Tim want to show us?

00:02He'll kill me if I ruin the surprise.

00:04It's not a waffle truck, if I ask.

00:07Welcome.

00:08Why don't you guys be the first to see my new office?

00:11Look, if I'm going to be a more out-on-the-streetwatch 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.

00:32See, we got hats and bats,

00:34infrared camera,

00:36breaching tools.

00:37I am.

00:38Two 32-inch screens.

00:40Wow.

00:42Can I be watch commander?

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

00:45Oh, hey, show them droning.

00:47Oh, yeah.

00:48Check this out.

00:56Isn't he cute?

00:58Really?

00:59Yeah.

01:00Super 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.

01:15He's playing Tim's Pump-Up Jazz.

01:17Down!

01:18No, no, no, no.

01:18Stop.

01:19Stop.

01:20Stop.

01:21Stop.

01:30It's not going to 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 when you land at a scene.

01:42Even if you stay in the SUV.

01:44Super Shop.

01:45It's a working thing.

01:52Good morning.

01:53Good morning.

01:54Good morning.

01:55All right, listen up.

01:55We're going to do things a little different today.

01:58There are going to be two supervisors out on the street.

02:00Sergeant Chen and myself.

02:04I know.

02:05I know.

02:05No one wants the boss showing up to their calls, second guessing their every move.

02:09That is not my intention.

02:11Okay?

02:11Nothing has to change.

02:12I just put wheels on my office.

02:14And while we work out the details, Officer Nolan will be riding with me to help facilitate

02:18the transition.

02:19Any questions?

02:21Can I pick a playlist?

02:24It'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 persons.

02:34Oof.

02:35You sure about that?

02:37Yeah.

02:38Your call.

02:39All right, I have some updates from the night shift.

02:41Is missing persons really that 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 going to have free reign.

02:59Well, none of that will matter once you quit and open a private practice in Malibu with a view of

03:04the ocean.

03:04Uh, with that commute, you'd never see me again.

03:07Well, in my dream, I also work in Malibu.

03:10I have a robot helicopter that flies the kids to school.

03:12And a pony.

03:13Well, sorry to kill another one of your dreams.

03:15But I already reached out to my old landlord, and the only view from that office is to eat the

03:19open 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.

03:39I 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.

03:47Mm-hmm.

03:50You're not gonna 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.

04:23Uh, what about you?

04:25You gonna do the Rothwell and Pierce thing?

04:26No, I'm, uh, I'm gonna stay here.

04:30And you should too.

04:31Hmm.

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 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.

04:54John.

04:55You're here already.

04:56Let's work together one last time.

04:58If at the end of the day you still wanna quit, I won't stand anyway.

05:01What?

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.

05:15Ninety 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.

05:23Well, 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.

05:36Homicide.

05:36Sorry to interrupt.

05:38Homicide wants some graph case.

05:40Fisherman found the body.

05:41Looks 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 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.

06:10Well, 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 and I'm on my own.

06:17I have a 415 at 5th and Western.

06:19RP reports two shirtless men circling each other.

06:22Seven out of 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 and even the most basic of calls.

06:34The captain's calling.

06:36Bradford.

06:37Can 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'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.

07:20Is that it?

07:21One more thing.

07:22I just want to say your tireless commitment to justice and the people of this...

07:26Thank you, sir.

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,

07:40but 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?

07:51Um, 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.

08:03And they're also more likely to be substance abusers

08:05who miss things like supervised child visitations.

08:09Well, I know.

08:09Well, I think it's worth investigating.

08:11So what's our first step?

08:13Why are you so gung-ho, Officer Paris?

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 that the thousand files in my office

08:34are not an unending stack of potential happy endings.

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.

08:52I appreciate the reminder.

08:56How did Gray 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.

09:06But then Lucy moved in.

09:09You know what?

09:10I take it back.

09:12Hey, Dash.

09:14Everything all right?

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?

09:24Yep.

09:26He's been here for at least a day.

09:28Won't know how long for sure until T.I.D. gets here and we turn him over.

09:31Kenneth Morris.

09:32K-Dog?

09:33For real?

09:35Ugh.

09:35Kenny's my English teacher.

09:37Was my English teacher.

09:38Okay, so, uh,

09:40Who found the body?

09:42Uh, Dakota.

09:42We're in fourth period together.

09:44But I didn't think it was real.

09:45She's always gossiping about something.

09:47Last week, she told me she was quitting school because she landed some influencer brand deal with Pop-Tarts.

09:52Turns out it was just a regional campaign.

09:54No offense.

09:54It just doesn't seem like, uh, Coastwood is your scene.

09:57Oh, it's not.

09:58Uh, but my mom said I needed a strong senior year in order to get into a good college.

10:03So, she landed an office job here.

10:05That way I get a major break on tuition.

10:06Dad, not in the picture?

10:07No, he kind of lurks in the background like the Babadook, specializing in bad decisions and hot cougars.

10:14Right.

10:15Uh, so you said Dakota found the body original.

10:17Uh, no, Dakota said CJ told her about it, who heard about it from Ilya and Autumn, who might have

10:22heard about it from somebody else.

10:25So, how many teenagers came out to the woods, saw a dead body and did nothing about it except tell

10:30their friends?

10:31Unknown.

10:32But I bet they all took selfies with it.

10:33I'm starving.

10:35Could we order a cream juice or something?

10:37Your intermittent fast doesn't end until one.

10:39We can talk after that.

10:40No one is asking you to spy on your friends.

10:44No, we have hidden surveillance set up to capture candid conversations.

10:47Tight.

10:48Uh, but they're not my friends.

10:49Oh.

10:50How's my hair?

10:52It's fine.

10:53Who were you trying to impress?

10:54No one.

10:55Autumn.

10:59She's pretty.

11:00It's like saying that the hanging gardens of Babylon were cool instead of a feat of unparalleled engineering that redefined

11:07elegance and beauty in the ancient world.

11:09But I'm a little biased.

11:11Clearly.

11:12She nice.

11:13Hey, Dad.

11:14Do you want to come to my premiere tonight?

11:16Uh, yeah, totally.

11:17I would love to.

11:18No, wait.

11:19My publicist said we already did our charity work for the year, so you're out of luck.

11:23Sorry.

11:26What are you premiering?

11:27The new Laporte film.

11:29It's already getting Oscar buzz.

11:30Oh.

11:30Who do you play in the movie?

11:31Young Attic number two.

11:33No lines, but my featured reactions really carry the film.

11:37Oh, by the way, I have a hard out at three.

11:39Blam Squad's coming to my house.

11:41Well, we'll try to get you out in time for the full face shellacking.

11:44Do you have a parent or guardian with you?

11:46Oh.

11:47No, thank you.

11:48I was legally emancipated when I was 13, so I could work adult hours on set.

11:54I don't need them here.

11:56Great.

11:56Let's interview you first.

11:58Awesome.

11:59Please tell me Jack won't be going there.

12:01It's not definite, but Jack's preschool is the feeder school for Coastwood.

12:07It would be an easy transition.

12:09Logistically, maybe, but emotionally, won't you die a little?

12:13Yes.

12:14But LA elementary schools are more competitive than Stanford, and having an easy path would

12:19save hundreds of hours of stress.

12:21Yeah, but then he'd be going to school with kids like these.

12:23That's where it falls apart.

12:25And what can you tell me about Morris?

12:27Kenny was such a sweetie.

12:29Even when I had to miss a lot of class last year, he was so chill about it.

12:32Why did you have to miss school?

12:33I was doing this indie project.

12:35We were supposed to premiere at Sundance, but then the director had all these, like, harassment

12:40allegations or whatever, and got basically blackballed.

12:43And now my career has to suffer.

12:45Like, did Kenneth have any disagreements with other teachers, faculty?

12:49No.

12:49I really can't imagine anyone wanting to hurt Ken Ken.

12:52It wasn't traditionally attractive, sure, but that's no reason to be murdered.

12:56Right?

12:58Can I vape in here?

13:00I have a note from my therapist.

13:01He does.

13:02I have it right here.

13:03No.

13:05Who first told you about the body in the woods?

13:07It was Sushi Tuesday, so I was pretty laser-focused on whether I wanted ahi or uni.

13:14I think I ended up getting both.

13:16Let's focus here.

13:18Where did you hear about the body?

13:20Well, I remember Autumn mentioning something earlier in the day when she was talking to Ilya.

13:25But Ilya said he had heard it from...

13:27Zoe.

13:28I guess she originally saw something about it in a DM from Lynette when she was going through CJ's phone

13:33and given what happened on the school trip last year, it is super sketchy that he was DMing Lynette.

13:40Backup.

13:41Where do we think the rumor started?

13:43Nowhere.

13:43Like, everywhere.

13:44How are we further from figuring this out than when we started?

13:47I call for backup.

13:49Hi again.

13:50Thank God.

13:51Normal teenager.

13:52No offense, it's just your classmates tend to be...

13:55Overwhelmed by their own champagne problems.

13:57I get it.

13:58My dysfunction is a little bit more proletariat.

14:01I guess that's one way to put it.

14:02Yeah, I don't really hang out with them much outside of school.

14:04And that's not just because I didn't make Forbes 20 under 20, but it's definitely a factor.

14:09Well, we're not done with the interviews yet, but so far no one we have talked to has said they're

14:13the one who started the rumor.

14:14They all claim to have heard it from someone else.

14:16Right.

14:17So, Reese heard about it from CJ, who heard about it from Zoe, who saw it in a DM from...

14:23You said that Reese heard about it from CJ?

14:25That's what she told us.

14:26That doesn't make any sense.

14:27They got in a huge fight last week about, you know, whether or not sending nudes to other people counts

14:31as cheating.

14:32They haven't spoken to each other since, and word in the halls is that Zoe and CJ are the new

14:36it couple.

14:36Oh my God, yes.

14:38I was totally picking up on that vibe, but I saw that Zoe wasn't following CJ on Instagram, so I

14:42put it from my head.

14:43But when I doubled back to check, it looks like she does follow him, but only with her Finsta.

14:48With her Finsta.

14:48Yeah.

14:50Okay, this is actually all starting to make sense.

14:53It is.

14:54Um, so Lynette and Emma, they went to the bathroom to do a fit check for their joint Instagram account.

15:00And Lynette said that she hears somebody crying in one of the stalls, and she says that it's Reese because

15:05she recognizes her leather tabbies.

15:07Travis tells Paul in the parking lot that he heard about a dead body from some bitch in first period.

15:13And who does he have first period with? Reese.

15:18And Dash heard about the body from Dakota, who is Reese's second best friend.

15:22But she has been fighting for that number one spot.

15:25So, I mean, she would do anything that Reese says.

15:28So if Reese told Dakota to lie about where she heard about the body?

15:33This is all coming back to Reese.

15:34Okay, so is Reese witness zero? Or is she the killer?

15:41Sadie!

15:48Yeah.

15:50Okay.

15:52You know, that night Sadie went missing, it was pouring rain and the shelter was full.

15:57So I'm thinking she crawled in here to stay dry and got trapped.

16:02A couple of months ago, I found a bunch of guys living it up in an access tunnel.

16:06Electricity, Wi-Fi, the whole thing.

16:10They had the right idea.

16:11But you also have electricity and Wi-Fi.

16:14Yeah, but I have to pay for it.

16:15Right.

16:17You know, one of those gays, if they locked behind her, she could be trapped or too injured to crawl

16:21out.

16:22Yeah, but at this point she's probably dead from dehydration.

16:26Wait, what?

16:30Sadie!

16:31Sadie!

16:32If you can hear me, make a sound!

16:45Desmond.

16:46Where are you?

16:47I'm inside a service tunnel looking for Sadie.

16:49I called the shelter, she showed up this morning.

16:51You're kidding.

16:52Well, why didn't they call us?

16:53They never do.

16:54So she was fine this whole time?

16:56Yeah, it turns out that her friend had the visitation date wrong.

16:59But hey, cheer up.

17:00At least you only wasted your own time.

17:06I am so sorry.

17:17Oh, hey, Selena.

17:21Hey, I heard about the missing person who wasn't missing.

17:24Already.

17:24I just got back.

17:26Well, Smitty was with you.

17:27Right.

17:28Oh, I'm gonna owe a lot of favors after dragging the cavalry through the sewers.

17:32Okay, first of all, do not refer to any group that includes Smitty as the cavalry.

17:36And second, those guys will forgive you.

17:38Or, you know, somebody else will screw up way worse, and then they'll be focused on that.

17:42Well, I'm kidding.

17:43Hey.

17:44One misstep does not change the fact that your instincts here are legendary.

17:48So just take a second to wallow in this, but then get cleaned up and get back out there, yeah?

17:52Yeah.

17:58Hey.

18:00Oh, you're too kind.

18:02Yes, I'm really looking forward to working with you as well, Madam Mayor.

18:05Okay, bye-bye.

18:07Sorry.

18:07I've been so busy.

18:08Um, before I make the big move upstairs, I wanted to get our house in order.

18:13A little bit clear of the deck.

18:14So, we have 27 felony arrests, waiting prosecution.

18:19We just do not have the manpower to take them all to trial.

18:22Why?

18:23Did you lose some ADAs or something?

18:26There's been turnover, yes.

18:28So I've got plea deals approved for all these cases, and I need you both to get them signed ASAP.

18:33Murder, too?

18:34This guy robbed a convenience store and the clerk had a heart attack.

18:37That is felony manslaughter at best.

18:39And the teen who pegged his principal with a football is assault with a deadly weapon? Did the DA sign

18:44off on these?

18:44I pointed to the significant mandate voters handed me, and he agreed.

18:48Well, their lawyers are not going to agree to these terms.

18:50So...

18:51Make them agree.

19:03Apple Pruitt.

19:04She lives in my building.

19:05Her mother reported her missing a month ago when she didn't return from Coachella.

19:10Every year we get a spike in imports after Coachella.

19:13This is one time this guy disassociated so hard he reported himself missing.

19:16No, but this one's weird.

19:18Apple has a strong social media presence but didn't post anything about what happened this year.

19:24There was a massive dust storm.

19:25They canceled day two at the Sahara tent.

19:28I mean, everyone was posting about it.

19:29It's not exactly a smoking gun.

19:31Okay, listen.

19:32I know how this sounds, but something is telling me to investigate.

19:36I see what's going on.

19:38You said she lives in your building?

19:39Mm-hmm.

19:40Classic move.

19:41You take the case near your house so you can investigate it from your living room.

19:45When the shift ends, you're just a few steps from your futon.

19:48I'm not trying to go home early.

19:51That's too bad.

19:53I thought you were finally catching on.

19:57There's no obvious connection between Reese and Mr. Morris.

20:00He did tutor her every week, but he tutored a lot of the kids.

20:03Yeah, and his Venmo transactions show that he was pulling down six figures on top of his salary.

20:07Why is tutoring in quotes?

20:10And one of the parents added a winky face emoji.

20:16Every student who paid for tutoring got an A.

20:18The only kid who was struggling was Dash.

20:20Yeah, his mom was barely scraping tuition together.

20:22They couldn't afford anything extra.

20:24Okay, so the parents are paying for grades, so the kids get into a better college.

20:28But I mean, why kill him?

20:30Maybe.

20:31He couldn't deliver.

20:32If I spent that kind of money and my kid didn't get into their dream school, I'd be pissed.

20:39Reese, have you decided what college you're going to?

20:41Um, I think I may be taking a gap year.

20:45From your social media accounts, it seems like you're all about Yale.

20:48That was kind of my mom's thing.

20:50But you did apply.

20:52Yeah, I applied to lots of places, but I didn't get in.

20:57So...

20:58Was your mom upset?

21:00Yeah, I guess.

21:02Reese, we know it was you who started the rumor.

21:05No, I heard it from CJ.

21:06We know that's not true.

21:09But you did tell Dakota, and Travis, and Lynette.

21:13You know what that tells me?

21:16You wanted someone to know.

21:19You wanted the police to know, but you just didn't want to be the one to call.

21:23It didn't seem right that he was just lying out there.

21:27How do you know he'd been killed?

21:32I stayed late on Tuesday.

21:35My mom wanted to talk to Mr. Morris.

21:36She was so angry about Yale.

21:39She was yelling at him, and he wanted to talk somewhere private,

21:43so they went out back behind the school.

21:46I waited and waited, and finally my mom came back.

21:53Just her.

21:55Not him.

21:57And her hands were...

22:00She wouldn't talk about it, but I...

22:03I knew she did something.

22:07I didn't want any of this to happen.

22:09I don't even care about college.

22:17Well, at least I know why I was failing the class.

22:20Your mom wasn't bribing the teacher.

22:21Yeah.

22:22Then I never did any homework.

22:24Ah, listen, your mom is stuck at school.

22:26Things are about as hectic over there as you can imagine,

22:28so your dad's gonna come take you home.

22:31Is that all right?

22:32Yeah, it's fine.

22:33He shows up every six to eight months to remind everybody

22:37where my mom got sole custody.

22:38I'm telling you, you cannot lose.

22:40You would be a fool not to invest.

22:42Hit me up on socials.

22:43I will tell you more about it, okay?

22:45Hey!

22:45This is my guy.

22:47How you doing?

22:48I still haven't had that grocery yet, huh?

22:50I'm pacing myself.

22:51Hey, sorry I haven't been around much.

22:52Been working crazy hours.

22:54But, good news, Tiger Bear has one more investor signed on

22:57with a non-binding verbal agreement.

22:59Tiger Bear?

23:00It's a soup.

23:01It's a breakfast soup.

23:02Dash, come on.

23:03No, that was the last one.

23:04Tiger Bear Whiskey Tequila's the whiskey-less startup.

23:07It's gonna be huge.

23:08You should get in on the grand floor, champ.

23:10I'm telling you, an investment of 10 grand

23:11will triple by the end of the year, guaranteed.

23:14You do know your son found one of his teachers

23:16dead behind the school gym today.

23:18Damn it!

23:20Sorry, sorry.

23:21Okay, keep going.

23:23Uh, so Dash was working out and, uh...

23:25Just take me home.

23:27Will they have to excavate the passenger seat

23:28for parking tickets again, or...?

23:30He's joking.

23:31I am a model citizen.

23:32Don't say that.

23:35Dash.

23:38I'm around if you need me.

23:40So we gotta stop by my place first,

23:41but we'll make it a pro-out, you know?

23:42Or some za.

23:43We'll watch last week's UFC.

23:45That problem?

23:47Just the universal unfairness of the world.

23:49Nothing actionable.

23:53Thanks for coming in.

23:55This is a plea deal.

23:56And before you ask,

23:57it's the best deal your client's gonna get.

23:58I know.

23:59Murder, too.

24:00It seems excessive.

24:01I mean, all you did was rob a convenience store.

24:03It wasn't your fault that the clerk had a heart attack.

24:07The man had end-stage heart disease.

24:08Now, a jury could see that as extenuating circumstances.

24:12I mean, if the jury was blind,

24:14maybe they'd see that as a gang tattoo.

24:16But I don't have to risk that possibility

24:18if you just say yes to the plea.

24:20I mean, who cares?

24:20There's no precedent for a felony prosecution this severe.

24:23So what if our only witness has been charged

24:25with perjury and false accusations

24:27in two other cases?

24:29I mean, if you think you could do better at trial,

24:31you just push that plea deal right back at me.

24:55The music is nowhere near too loud.

24:58I'm Officer Juarez with LAPD.

25:00Yeah, I'm following your roommate, Apple Pruitt's case.

25:02Yeah, she hasn't come home, right?

25:04No.

25:05No, I'm, I'm, we're sick.

25:08Do you mind if I come inside?

25:10Sure.

25:11Yeah, of course.

25:17I've actually been boxing up Apple's things all day.

25:20It's officially 30 days tomorrow.

25:23I just, I need someone else in here to help me with this crazy rant.

25:27Not that Apple is great about paying.

25:29She doesn't believe in money or monogamy or cleaning.

25:34She sounds like a lot.

25:36Oh, I mean, don't get me wrong.

25:37She was, is, um, one of my favorite people.

25:41Just not the greatest at cohabitation.

25:44Right.

25:45And the last time you saw her was right before she left for Coachella?

25:49She left going, even though she had her issues before.

25:52I mean, bad drugs and aggressive guys.

25:55She definitely had some scares.

25:58And you think that's what happened to her?

26:00I, I don't know.

26:01Um, I mean, I'm just trying to be helpful.

26:05But I'm desperate for you to find her.

26:08Do you mind if I take a look at her bedroom?

26:11Yeah, no problem.

26:12It's, uh, it's right over there.

26:13So, um, we'll try, uh, the block.

26:17Yeah.

26:18And we'll try, uh, look at her.

26:18Ma'am, what?

26:18Oh, my God.

26:24Let's see.

26:25Oh, my God.

26:29Oh, my God.

26:33Okay.

26:33Oh, my God.

26:36Okay.

26:37I'm afraid she'll be okay.

26:40Bye.

26:41I'm afraid she'll be okay.

26:41He's a father.

26:42Yeah, okay.

27:06I'm sorry, I'm sorry, it's not what you think!

27:40I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry!

27:58I'm sorry, I'm sorry!

28:17I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry!

28:45Oh, God, I had some serious stuff.

28:48Hey, um, so this fancy private school of yours...

28:52Where a teacher was just murdered?

28:53Really?

28:54How have you not been paying attention?

28:57Never mind, of course you're out.

28:58All I'm saying is you're in the perfect spot to help your dear old dad raise some cash money capital.

29:03I'm having supply issues in the Czech Republic.

29:05But they specialize in neither whiskey nor chicken.

29:08Okay, that is besides the point.

29:09Anyways, you would be helping out the family if I can get you to make a few introductions.

29:14If I say I'll think about it, will you take me home?

29:17Come on, what's the rush? Party's just getting started.

29:20Gus, I know you're in there.

29:23Open the damn door.

29:27We're going to go out the window.

29:29No, we're not.

29:31I can hear you in there. Open the door or we kick it in.

29:33Uh, okay.

29:35Um, so a few of my friends are here.

29:37Um, you've got to go hide.

29:40Why would I hide from your friends?

29:41Just kidding.

29:42Go.

29:42And don't come out.

29:44No matter what.

29:48Dash?

29:53I think I might be in some trouble.

29:58Fellas.

29:59Wait, wait, wait, wait.

30:00I'm sorry about the confusion.

30:01Your money, it's being transferred.

30:03It's just the act, you know?

30:04It takes a few days, so...

30:07Okay, where are you?

30:08Uh, closet.

30:10Dad's apartment.

30:11They're beating him up.

30:13I can get your money just one more day.

30:15Like, two times.

30:16Wait, wait, wait, wait, no.

30:18All right, stay hidden until we get there.

30:20I can't.

30:22I feel killed in my head.

30:23I have to do something.

30:24No, Dash.

30:25Dash, no.

30:30I don't know how you can get your money.

30:32What the hell is this?

30:33It's, uh, my neighbor.

30:34He waters my plants.

30:39You are such a liar.

30:41Although lying to protect your kid is almost noble,

30:44be ashamed if I have to break all his teeth,

30:46stump both his ends in a suit.

30:48Pass and pass.

30:50How about we go with my plan instead?

30:53Rob a bunch of rich kids that go to my school?

30:55Who wants a Rolex?

30:59You better not be lying, kid.

31:02Your dad is out of free passes.

31:05Let's go.

31:11Dash would never knowingly put someone in danger.

31:13So we track down whether any school families are out of town.

31:16The LaPorte premier.

31:17He's a pretentious auteur filmmaker.

31:20His new movie launches tonight.

31:21Autumn Harrington is in it.

31:22That's the girl that Dash has a crush on.

31:24Her address is in the system.

31:30Damn, who is this chick?

31:32Autumn?

31:32She's an up-and-coming IT girl.

31:34Her new project's getting Oscar buzz.

31:36Yeah?

31:37Well, let's hope she get paid in diamond bracelets.

31:40You know, stuff that's easy to pawn.

31:42Otherwise, you and your dad are going to find out what the landfill tastes like.

31:47Out.

31:52Stay with Gus until I give you the signal, all right?

31:58Man, for what it's worth, your dad is the biggest train wrecker I ever met.

32:02My old man, he in prison.

32:04Trying to steal a FedEx plane with a tow truck.

32:05Shit.

32:06Well, if you're the ghost of my future self, I might just have to Virginia Woolf it.

32:11I don't know what that means.

32:12She was arguably the most influential writer of the 20th century.

32:16Ended it all by walking into a river with rocks in her pockets.

32:21Nobody likes a comedian, kid.

32:23I'd argue, but the gun gives you the last word.

32:29Hey, if this is set up, I'm killing everybody.

32:32Got it?

32:32Yes, sir.

32:38You're not my agadashi tofu.

32:41You're not supposed to be here.

32:42Well, you cut me out of the movies if I wasn't on the list.

32:45Do you know how mortifying that...

32:47Who the hell are you?

32:48Hey, who else in the house?

32:49Nobody.

32:50My parents are in Monaco.

32:52All right, get over here.

32:54I don't want to.

32:55No problem.

32:56I'll just shoot you.

33:03Go dance.

33:04Why?

33:05Whoa.

33:06It's even bigger on the inside.

33:08See, this is the kind of place I'm going to get when I get paid.

33:11Hey, man, shut up!

33:13Stay down here with the idiot, all right?

33:14Steal anything that's shiny.

33:19Now, take me to your parents, Raminate.

33:21Better have a boatload of watches and jerks.

33:22Hey, hey.

33:23Whoa, whoa.

33:23Those whiskey bottles worth like $500 each.

33:25I'm just going to grab a couple.

33:26Show me.

33:27All right.

33:33What about this?

33:34The Merlot, really?

33:35No, dude, those two are worth way more.

33:47All right, all right.

34:01All right.

34:21Hey, where's the jury?

34:23Crozet.

34:24All right.

34:26All right.

34:26Come on.

34:27Hey, hey, stay here.

34:39I can't believe you brought them to my house.

34:41I panicked, okay?

34:42They were going to kill my dad.

34:44Besides, you weren't supposed to be here.

34:46It would never knowingly put you in danger.

34:48Because you have the odds for me.

34:50I have romantic intentions, yeah, but clearly you don't share them, so...

34:55It's not like you're not cute.

34:56You're just...

34:58Poor?

34:58Exactly.

35:05What are you doing?

35:06Looking for a gun.

35:07Oh, that's not a gun.

35:09Oh.

35:10Your parents are freaky.

35:12What the hell are you doing?

35:13Get away from there.

35:14Oh, no.

35:14Sorry.

35:15Sorry.

35:17I'm never going to be able to look at my parents in the eye again.

35:21Me neither.

35:23Hey, Andre wouldn't really hurt my kid, right?

35:25This is a scare tactic.

35:26I mean, I know I'm not a great dad, but I try, you know?

35:30When it's convenient for me.

35:33Like, I want to be better.

35:34Like, I really do.

35:35I think about it all the time.

35:37Well, not all the time.

35:39It's at the heart of the problem, really.

35:42I just got to be better.

35:43The kid deserves a role model, not the blaming hot mess I am on a daily basis.

35:49It feels really good to come clean about this, you know?

35:51It's kind of cathartic.

35:52Take your ass.

35:53When the hell did you get here?

35:54Where's Dash?

35:56Let's go.

35:56No, she's staying here.

35:58She hasn't seen your face, so you're in the clear.

36:00Just, you can do whatever you want to be.

36:01Just let her go.

36:02Hey, man, you got balls, kid.

36:03Unlike your father.

36:04But she cannot stay here, all right?

36:05Let's go.

36:06There's a gold bar on that bedside table.

36:08Yeah, right.

36:09I'm serious.

36:10But if you want to leave it, like...

36:12All right, stay right here.

36:14Oh, no.

36:20Get back.

36:22Drop it.

36:24Come on, get up.

36:27Hey, you okay?

36:29Physically.

36:31There, give me this.

36:35Ow.

36:36Thanks.

36:38And thanks for trying to save me.

36:40Yeah.

36:41Anytime.

36:41Oh, thank God.

36:45Although, I knew it was all going to be all right.

36:47Hey, um, maybe we don't tell your mom about this.

36:50You know, we just keep it a bro thing.

36:51Stop.

36:52Just stop.

36:54Everything that you do, everything that you say is just so selfish, so toxic.

36:59You haven't done one fatherly thing for me in my entire life.

37:02All you care about is yourself, and I'm just sick of it.

37:06I'm done with you.

37:08Forever.

37:09What?

37:16So, we met with all 27 defendants.

37:19It's the craziest thing.

37:20We tried our hardest.

37:21None of them would accept the plea deal.

37:23Not a one.

37:24Well, I hope you've kept your weekends clear, because now you've got 27 trials you're going

37:28to need to prepare for.

37:30About that, I quit.

37:33And I'd say best of luck, but I hope you fail.

37:37Spectacularly.

37:38Sorry, Sean.

37:39I just can't.

37:39No, no worries.

37:40I can't either.

37:42I quit, too.

37:44Ah.

37:45Hey, what do you think of the law firm of Del Monte and Evers?

37:47Well, you haven't worked a day in your life as a defense attorney.

37:49Evers and Del Monte.

37:52Turn to the right.

37:53Way ahead of you.

37:54Not my first rodeo.

37:56Well, we just need your clothes for evidence, and then, uh, for you to go.

38:02After everything that happened?

38:04The DA may still press charges, but it was pretty clear you were under duress.

38:09I really wanted this time to be different.

38:11I was going to buy a dash of car with the Tiger Bear money.

38:14I looked to make up for lost time, you know?

38:17But he's right.

38:18I screw everything up.

38:20It's better off without me.

38:21Probably.

38:24I've had some experience with bad fathers, and the love the sons feel for them, no matter

38:29how many times they get their hearts broken.

38:32And unless you're willing to change, and I mean really change, the best thing you can

38:39do for Dash is just leave him the hell alone.

38:51What were you thinking?

38:54I'm fine.

38:55Thanks for asking.

38:56Do you know how close you were to becoming a missing person yourself?

38:58If she would have succeeded in killing you, how would I have known?

39:01First thing she'd do is destroy your phone.

39:03So when I pulled to your last known location, it would be your building.

39:07So to me and the world, you were home, and then you vanished.

39:11No, I see that now.

39:12It's just I figured I'd stop by and ask a few questions.

39:15We have protocols for a reason.

39:19Yes, sir.

39:21I let my best intentions obscure my judgment, proving I still have a lot to learn about this

39:27job.

39:28But if I can be so bold as to ask a favor...

39:35You can ask.

39:38I remain undaunted.

39:40So if a file comes across your desk that gives you a feeling, call me.

39:45I am happy to run down any lead I can for you, free of charge.

39:54Deal.

39:56And for what it's worth, I'm glad you're okay.

40:15Your dad's gone, and your mom's on her way.

40:19Cool.

40:21You want to talk about anything?

40:25Uh, not really.

40:26I think I'm a little talked out for once.

40:30Understood.

40:33You're not at the risk of sounding overly earnest.

40:37You're a very special young man.

40:40Despite or maybe even because of what your father's put you through.

40:46Now, I know you know that you're not him in any way, shape, or form.

40:52But I also know that family pain is emotional and not intellectual.

41:02I'm just trying to say, um, if you ever need a reminder of this conversation, you have

41:08my number.

41:10Thanks.

41:11And just to be clear, you're saying I can call you every morning at the crack of dawn

41:15just to tell me I'm awesome?

41:17No.

41:18Every other morning.

41:19Twice a week, final offer.

41:21I can live with that.

41:22If you can live with unlimited text, DMs, and social media shout-outs.

41:27Just the calls.

41:29Okay.

41:31Smart man.

42:08Damn it.
