00:00You live inside my heart. Brown eyes in the line of fire. I get worried when you're gone too long.
00:14Sorry, did you say something?
00:16No, you just were making a face. Everything all right?
00:19Yeah, yeah, totally. It's just, um, well, Raj wrote a new song about me.
00:24I mean, he's so talented and it's so beautiful and it's all...
00:28A little overwhelming?
00:30Yeah.
00:31I wish somebody was writing love songs about me. The three of you are so happy, my love life is
00:34as cold as a frosted frog.
00:36You're young, Penn. There's plenty of time to find true happiness.
00:39Yeah, or learn to love being alone.
00:42All right, let's focus. Just got out of a meeting with the brass and everyone is feeling the pinch.
00:47Recruitment numbers are down, retirement numbers are up.
00:50Bottom line, prepare to work more OT where the department manages staffing shortages and we launch this new recruitment drive.
01:00Oh, what's going on?
01:02We won! We won!
01:05We won what?
01:06The lottery.
01:08Shangri-La has been playing every week for 12 years.
01:13We're rich, bitch!
01:15Smitty, out.
01:19When did you say this recruitment drive was?
01:22I'm gonna win for you like I know you want me to do.
01:30You should call in sick. Hang out with me on my day off.
01:33That would be a bad look on my first day back.
01:35Oh, it would be fine. I mean, do you even have an official job yet?
01:39No, and I'm trying so hard to be zen about that. My former position was perfect. It's my own fault
01:45for taking a leave and going to D.C.
01:47Any idea what Kevin Foster's gonna give you?
01:49No, we're talking first thing this morning.
01:51So what are you gonna do today?
01:52I'm gonna find out how many naps. There's too many naps. My plan is to do absolutely nothing.
01:58Oh, you were gonna fix the drain in the shower.
02:00Absolutely nothing except fix the drain in the shower.
02:03Okay.
02:05Though I know it's not my hair in there.
02:07What was that?
02:08I said have a good day out there.
02:10Okay.
02:18I'm confused. I just voted for you.
02:20Why are you two going to work? Shouldn't you be doing the whole last minute campaigning thing?
02:24Rita wanted him to, but we talked about it and...
02:26I'm gonna lose. Badly.
02:28Rita gave us the latest poll numbers and then quit.
02:30So rather than waste another minute on a failed campaign that neither one of us enjoyed for a second,
02:34we are first day of the rest of our lives in it.
02:37Okay. Well, I can't complain about having my bestie back on the job.
02:41Hey, why don't we do dinner tonight? Just the four of us.
02:43You're not gonna watch the returns?
02:45No. There's no point.
02:47I love you, loser.
02:49I love you too.
02:52You would have made an amazing DA.
02:55Thanks.
02:57Bye.
03:01Vivienne is gonna fire him the second she wins, isn't she?
03:05A hundred percent.
03:06Yeah.
03:07All right, I'll be right in.
03:09All right.
03:14What's up?
03:15Hey, um, how would you feel about having a small gathering at your house tonight?
03:19Oh, what's the occasion?
03:20Wesley tanking the DA race.
03:22Is that cause for celebration?
03:24No, but it is a time for friends to get together and support each other, no matter what.
03:28Also, it needs to be a surprise or else they'll just try and talk me out of it.
03:31Got it. Yeah, sure. We can have it here.
03:33Great. I will start a group chat.
03:34All right.
03:35Do you need me to...
03:36And you hung up.
03:38Here's what I love.
03:39The clear amount of industry and effort that you've put in.
03:43But?
03:46But it is a little, you know, narrowly focused.
03:50Join the LAPD.
03:51Be a badass hero.
03:52Protect the innocent.
03:53It's reflective of your lived experience, but it's not exactly reflective of the multitude
03:58that is the LAPD.
04:01Yeah. Great. You're in charge of staffing this up.
04:03What? Hold on. No, that's... I was not trying to...
04:06Hmm?
04:08Fine.
04:10Penn!
04:11Morris!
04:12You're on a special assignment today.
04:13What? Penn's still a rookie.
04:14Exactly. Who better to give insight to a recruit than someone going through training?
04:18Guys, get started. The paperwork's inside.
04:21Hey, how's it going?
04:23Good. Did the brass send you down here to help me with the recruitment drive?
04:25In a consulting capacity. And only if you need me. So say you don't need me so I can go
04:30back to work.
04:31Ah!
04:32Oh, are you okay?
04:33Yeah, I'm fine.
04:35Smitty!
04:36What?
04:37You quit?
04:38No!
04:40I took an unscheduled day off while I briefly submitted my retirement papers, but that's
04:45all done now.
04:46Why? What happened?
04:48Oh, they say I didn't kick in for my share of the ticket so I don't get my share of
04:51the
04:51payout, but I'm always late with the wife's hander. They know I'm good for it.
04:55Ah!
04:55Oh, God. You are not okay.
04:57Smitty, make yourself useful and get the lieutenant down to St. Stephen's.
04:59No, no. I can drive myself.
05:01No, you can't, but I can call an ambulance.
05:02Or your wife? We can call your wife.
05:03No, no. Definitely not.
05:06Let's go, Smitty.
05:08I do not want to hear about your lottery situation.
05:11No problem, but I do have a teletherapy appointment starting at 5, so you might overhear a bit.
05:21Good morning.
05:22Oh, good morning. Come on in.
05:24Thank you for being so understanding. I know I left you in the lurch when I went to DC.
05:30All good.
05:31So, what do you have in store for me?
05:33Well, obviously, your old job is gone, but we do have a new class of paramedic recruits, and I want
05:39you to train one.
05:40You're giving me a rookie?
05:42I am.
05:43Oakley!
05:45Yes, sir?
05:46This is Bailey Noon. You'll be training with her.
05:48Pleasure to meet you. I meet you to get started.
05:50I've read everything there is to read on triage medicine, not just in the U.S., but as far-field
05:55as Mumbai.
05:55They published a fascinating study 12 days ago on emergency medicine and high-density populations.
06:00I got to send you a link.
06:01Do you read Hindi by any chance, or do you need the English translation?
06:06Good luck.
06:09Officer in agony here.
06:11Bed 11.
06:12Oh, hell no. I changed my mind. I'm fine. I'm fine.
06:16Oh, what is going on?
06:17He woke up with a stabbing pain in his lower back and it hurt 20 people.
06:21The Smitty!
06:22What?
06:22I could hear you cursing from outside the station bathroom.
06:25Oh, my God.
06:27Wait. You're that doctor. You're the one.
06:30Smitty!
06:30Hey, get out of here now. Back to the station.
06:33Yes, sir. Good luck.
06:36I'm the doctor that what?
06:38Like you don't know.
06:39I really don't, but you know what? That can wait till we figure out what is going on with you.
06:43I want a different doctor.
06:45I am the only one who's free right now.
06:47Oh, wait.
06:49You sure?
06:50Yeah.
06:52Okay.
06:55Please tell me you haven't napped yet and that you haven't forgotten to fix the bathroom drain.
07:00No, of course not.
07:01I just called to see where you were assigned.
07:04I got a rookie.
07:06I knew you secretly wanted to be me.
07:08I've never trained anyone before. It's my first day back and this kid is kind of green.
07:14So are you looking for some tips?
07:16Would you come meet us? Give a first blush eval and maybe a few pointers?
07:22Yes, of course. But it's gonna cost you.
07:25I should hope so. I gotta go.
07:28All right. Looking forward to you hung up as well.
07:31A buttload of hemostatic gauze as requested.
07:37How can I help?
07:38Uh, watch first. I like things a certain way.
07:42A lot of people put their first-in bag on the gurney, but I like it in the outside compartment.
07:47That way I can grab the gurney while you grab the bag. Smart.
07:51You know, in early agrarian societies, they used to just...
07:53Let's just focus on modern emergency medicine.
07:56Yeah, yeah, of course.
07:58But I find that understanding the history of things can give context to modern emergency medicine and elucidates the reasons
08:03why we do things the way we do today.
08:08All right, look, you can spot the losers a mile away. Don't waste any time with anyone you know won't
08:12pass the physical exam or the psych valve.
08:14Got it.
08:15Um, fill out a questionnaire. Let them know that we follow up with a polygraph and a background check. That'll
08:19knock out at least a third of the duds.
08:21Okay, just so I can set expectations, I mean, what ratio of good candidates to losers should we expect?
08:29Does this background check include Florida?
08:32So I have been arrested before, but I wasn't convicted. Does that count?
08:36Defense.
08:36What was the charge?
08:38Befouling the punch fold, a company picnic, and felony murder.
08:44And I thought to myself, why not take this white-hot rage that I feel every second of every day
08:51and use it for something positive, like curb-stomping violent felons?
08:55Okay, try MMA.
08:57Next.
09:00Morning.
09:01Heard about the personnel shortage, and, uh, well, you guys need cops, and I went back in, so how can
09:09we make this happen?
09:13Where did you go to school?
09:14Johns Hopkins, who had my master's in neuroscience.
09:17Well, actually, it was a double master's in that, in philosophy.
09:20Okay, well, when we, uh...
09:22I had a PhD in molecular biology at UCLA, and then I spent a year at Oxford doing medical research.
09:26That was around the time I started to think, uh, maybe I should have some real-life experience.
09:31Well, you've come to the right place.
09:34Rescue 53, respond to 31488 12th Avenue.
09:38Manage a stress, unknown description, unknown injuries.
09:40And there's no better time to start.
09:42Control, this is Rescue 53.
09:44Show us responding.
10:02Control, this is Rescue 53.
10:05On scene with a distressed male at 12th Avenue.
10:10I thought we'd be doing this over coffee.
10:12What better way to evaluate him than seeing him in action?
10:15Seeing him in action.
10:16Exactly.
10:17Chase, this is my husband, John.
10:18He's off-duty LAPD.
10:19Nice to meet you.
10:20He looks way more than distressed.
10:22Let's flip him over, grab his head, and keep him stable.
10:24On three.
10:25One, two, three.
10:29He's alive, but unconscious, probably from heavy blood loss.
10:38Oh.
10:39Gun shabbles.
10:40That explains the heavy blood loss.
10:49I'm pushing ketamine.
10:50We're trying to help you.
10:54Let's get him to St. Stephen's.
10:55All right.
10:56I'll mobilize LAPD.
10:57Radio's in the car.
11:04Get away from him.
11:06Flippin?
11:07You're with the radio.
11:09Please don't hurt us.
11:10Get up, traitor.
11:11He can't answer you.
11:12I gave him a sedative.
11:13Then wake him back up.
11:14That's not how medicine works.
11:16And who the hell are you, huh?
11:17I'm a doctor.
11:18I'm just doing a ride-along.
11:19No, we can't stay here.
11:21Get Isaac in the car.
11:22You can't do that.
11:23That'll kill him.
11:24Then get him in the ambulance.
11:25You're going to keep him alive until we get what we need.
11:27I'm on it.
11:32Whoa, whoa, whoa.
11:32Hey, back up.
11:33They got it.
11:34What do you want to do with this guy?
11:35I need him.
11:36I'm just a paramedic.
11:37He's a doctor.
11:40All right, search him, and let's get gone.
11:42Meet us back at the office.
11:43Heads up.
11:49Let's go.
11:53Come on, come on, come on.
11:55Get in.
12:18You know, the history of Battlefield Madison is truly fascinating.
12:21Until about 50 years ago, most major wounds were guaranteed fatal.
12:24Hey, do you want to die?
12:24No, not particularly.
12:26Then shut up and drive.
12:28What did this guy do to you, anyway?
12:30He stole our money.
12:31Isaac here was in charge of keeping it safe.
12:33We were supposed to meet, divvy it up.
12:35Now he's stashed it somewhere.
12:37Trying to keep it all for himself, but that's not going to happen.
12:40This money he stole, assuming he recently stole it from someone else?
12:44Brink's truck?
12:44A bank?
12:45What?
12:45You ask a lot of questions, Doc.
12:47Yeah.
12:48Shut up.
12:48The only answer I care about is, what exactly is your plan here?
12:52Three steps.
12:53Wake the traitor up, get him to tell us where the money is, kill him.
12:56This man is barely stable.
12:58What happens if the third step comes first?
13:00Then you're dying in this ambulance along with him.
13:06I knew Seth still had dreams of being a cop, but I did not think he would try again at
13:10Mid-Wilshire.
13:10Yeah, well, he thinks he's catching us at a vulnerable moment.
13:13He's right.
13:14We need cops in the street now, not in six months after the applicants finish training.
13:17Technically, all he has to do is pass his physical, and he's back in uniform.
13:20The physical is not my concern.
13:22It is everything else.
13:24Listen, Seth has changed.
13:25I know it's hard to believe, but he's committed to a different path.
13:27You are biased, Penn, because he saved your life.
13:30Guilty as charged, but he deserves a second chance.
13:49Okay.
13:51I'm ready.
13:52Whatever you guys need.
13:52The only way I'll even consider recommending you for reinstatement is if you pass a polygraph.
14:01Okay.
14:03Let's do it.
14:04Why are you refusing treatment?
14:07I'm not.
14:08I just saw a doctor.
14:09He told me I had kidney stones, major ones.
14:12I'm sorry.
14:13I heard that pain is excruciating.
14:16Well, while you are being treated, I am your patient advocate.
14:20So, is there anything that you would like me to advocate for?
14:24Yes.
14:25I was severely mistreated by Dr. Ashton.
14:28I want him fired.
14:28Wade.
14:29You asked.
14:31I will check on you in a little bit.
14:38Luna.
14:41Can I talk to you?
14:45Did you and your husband separate because of me?
14:47What?
14:48No.
14:54You were something of a catalyst.
14:56Um, I'll admit to enjoying some harmless flirting, but if I ever gave you the impression that I wanted anything
15:03more...
15:04You absolutely gave me that impression.
15:07If I had suggested over dinner that we check into a hotel, you wouldn't have said no.
15:13Probably not.
15:14You tell yourself that it's harmless, but what it is is selfish.
15:20It doesn't matter to you what the fallout could be because you can just walk away.
15:25Thank God I came to my senses.
15:32Okay, we're going to start with some easy questions.
15:35Please restrict your answers to either a yes or a no.
15:37Is your name Seth William Ridley?
15:40Yes.
15:40Do you live at 3200 Blicks Street?
15:43Yes.
15:43Are you 25 years old?
15:45Yes.
15:46Okay, now to establish a proper baseline, I'm going to ask you the same questions, but this time I want
15:50you to lie.
15:51You understand?
15:53All right.
15:54Is your name Seth William Ridley?
15:56No.
15:57Do you live at 3200 Blicks Street?
16:00No.
16:02Okay, let's start.
16:03Did you ever tell me that your high school girlfriend died from a drug overdose?
16:08Yes.
16:09Was that a lie?
16:10Yes.
16:12Were you in love with Tamar Collins?
16:17Yeah, I wanted to marry her.
16:18A simple yes or no, Ridley?
16:19Sorry, yes.
16:22Yes.
16:24One year ago, did you have cancer?
16:27I did not, no.
16:29During that time, did you ever believe you were sick?
16:33No.
16:37On the day of the Kenyan Wildfire, did the National Weather Service call you about the fire spreading across Eagle
16:43Rock Road?
16:43Do we really have a...
16:44Answer the question.
16:44Did you receive a call from the Weather Service?
16:47Yes.
16:48Did you relay that information to the officers in the field?
16:52He means us.
16:53Did you try to tell us?
16:55No.
16:57On purpose?
16:57No.
17:00I got distracted.
17:01And it was too late to warn you.
17:03I knew that you were pinned down.
17:04That was my fault.
17:06I'm sorry.
17:08But I...
17:09I was too afraid to say anything.
17:11No, you lied.
17:12To cover up your mistake like you always do.
17:17Yes.
17:20No.
17:22Not anymore.
17:23Not anymore.
17:29He's crashing.
17:34His pulse is weak.
17:35He has a new month or act.
17:37The pressure is building in his chest cavity.
17:43Hold him steady on my puncture's chest.
17:51If you won't take us to a hospital, I need to be someplace not moving.
17:55You need to listen to her.
17:56Orange is a doctor.
17:57Why is she doing everything?
17:58I'm a radiologist.
18:00We don't have time for resumes.
18:01We need to stop the ambulance.
18:04How long do we get to the office?
18:06We're landing now.
18:10Come on, come on.
18:13I'll get the boss.
18:16Let's get Isaac on the table.
18:18Clear it off.
18:28How's he doing?
18:29Not well.
18:29All the fluid I transfused into him just keeps coming right back out.
18:32He's running out of time.
18:33How long before your dispatch realizes you're missing?
18:36A few hours.
18:37Firefighters aren't as worried about random violence as cause.
18:39Perhaps it's time to revisit that policy.
18:42I'm dying to know why you brought these randos to the office and not my money.
18:46Isaac took the cash and ran.
18:47We only caught up to him after he hit it.
18:49He started shooting.
18:50You shot back?
18:51Before you got my money.
18:52Alan's got a little excited.
18:53Hey, we all emptied a cliff.
18:55I told you to call...
18:56Shut up!
18:58You're making my head hurt.
18:59How bad's our boy?
19:00Critical.
19:01He needs a hospital.
19:02Not happening.
19:03Wake him up.
19:04Give him the Pulp Fiction shot.
19:05Right in the heart.
19:06If that shot, epinephrine would kill him.
19:10No!
19:12I'm only gonna say this once.
19:15You got ten minutes to wake him up so I can find my money, or I shoot this man next.
19:26Don't.
19:26I have to help him or he's gonna die.
19:29That's why I shot him.
19:30Get him talking.
19:31Now.
19:35Whoa, whoa, whoa, wait.
19:36Let me triage my rookie or I cut your guy's carotid and you'll never find your money.
19:42Check out Bourne Identity, Barbie.
19:44What about the Hippocratic Oath?
19:45That's for doctors, not paramedics.
19:49Okay, how about this?
19:50You let her resurrect Isaac, and you let me treat Jace.
19:54Is that okay?
19:57Fine.
19:57You go watch him.
19:58If he tries to be a hero, cap them both.
20:00Hey, I got you.
20:03You all right?
20:04You know, not really.
20:06Oh, God, that's a lot of blood.
20:08Yeah.
20:08I'm gonna need some hemostatic gauze on there.
20:10Right.
20:10Clearly, we're gonna need to work together, so slow breaths, okay?
20:13All right, you're gonna apply some serious pressure on there.
20:15I might make some noise.
20:17Right.
20:17Ready?
20:20Okay.
20:22I'm gonna pass out now.
20:23All right.
20:25Hey, hey, forget about the bleeding.
20:27Boss said wake him up.
20:28He's in hypovolemic shock.
20:30His blood pressure has cratered.
20:31He's about to die.
20:32If he dies, we are screwed, man.
20:34If he's bleeding out, give him more blood.
20:35I don't have any, so unless one of you is O-negative, the universal blood donor, we're out of luck.
20:40Yeah, no, that's me.
20:41I needed a transfusion after I took one in the leg on the Long Beach job, because they told me
20:45I was O-negative.
20:46Perfect.
20:47Roll up your sleeve.
20:51Hi.
20:51Hi.
20:53I'm here to join the LAPD.
20:54What?
20:55Are you serious?
20:56Oh, God, no.
20:56I'd make a terrible cop.
20:57Aw.
20:57I came by to say hi and to see if you had had time to listen to the song.
21:03I did.
21:04I did.
21:06Oh, I'm gonna go grab a soda.
21:08You want anything?
21:08No, I'm good.
21:09I'll take a chocolate milk.
21:16You didn't like it.
21:17Are you kidding?
21:19It made me cry the first ten times I listened to it, but it's a lot of pressure, you know?
21:24Imagine how Mona Lisa felt when Da Vinci painted her.
21:28I mean, everyone constantly judging whether she was worthy of being memorialized like that.
21:33Wow, yeah.
21:34I never thought about it like that.
21:36Thank you for comparing me to Da Vinci.
21:38That's an ego boost for sure.
21:39Okay, I can change it up.
21:41I can add a line about your morning breath or how you kick me in your sleep.
21:45Okay, I do not.
21:45Do I?
21:46No.
21:47Hi.
21:47I'm here to sign up for a cop job.
21:50You are in the right place.
21:53What drew you to law enforcement?
21:55My boyfriend's a cop, and we don't get to spend much time together, so I thought this way we could
21:59see each other every day.
22:00Well, that's amazing.
22:01You probably know him.
22:02Franklin Rose.
22:05Franklin Rose?
22:06Doesn't ring a bell, but you've been here longer than me, so.
22:09Well, I don't know him, but I mean, it's a big building.
22:12I'll show you a picture.
22:19Is this recent?
22:20Yeah, I took it of him last week before you went to work.
22:22Do you mind if I take a picture?
22:23Great.
22:24This will help me find him.
22:26You know, here's an application.
22:28Why don't you fill it out over there while I track him down?
22:31Okay, thanks.
22:32Yeah.
22:36What's wrong?
22:37The badge is all wrong.
22:38Yeah, this thing is from the 1970s.
22:41Maybe he was just trying to impress his girlfriend.
22:43By committing a felony?
22:45You know, I have heard rumors about low-level dealers getting ripped off by cops who confiscate their drugs and
22:50let them off with a warning.
22:52Classic dope rib.
22:53All right, I'm going to need to talk to her.
22:55Not a problem.
22:55She's still outside.
22:56We'll go get her.
23:01Hey, did you get everything?
23:03Boy, did I.
23:04You really think he's going to appreciate us paying your demotion party, Ford?
23:08If not, we will get him drunk enough that he forgets it ever happened.
23:12All right, I got to go.
23:13I love you.
23:13Love you, too.
23:17Hey.
23:17Hey.
23:18This must be burning.
23:19Oh, yeah?
23:20Why?
23:21Oh, well, uh, just, um, I was watching a news story about the, uh, election.
23:27What's up?
23:28Do you remember, like, a thousand years ago when this all started, we talked about doing an announcement speech to
23:32lay out my full progressive agenda?
23:34Yeah, before you chickened out.
23:36Well, if I'm going to concede this election, I want to go out swinging.
23:39I want everyone to know exactly what I believe.
23:42Can you give me an assist?
23:44My speechwriter quit.
23:44Sure.
23:45Yeah, I sure can.
23:46You know, how about you follow me into my office, stepping over here?
23:49Yeah.
23:49What kind of things were you thinking about changing?
23:51I mean, I really like what we did the first time around.
23:53I just didn't get to nail it, you know?
23:54Oh, right.
23:58Sure, what's the verdict?
23:59Well, according to the polygraph, you told the truth about everything.
24:02Which was unexpected and proves that you've made a real effort to change.
24:06Okay, great.
24:08No?
24:09It's, no?
24:10Look, the fact that you knowingly let us drive into danger, failed to do anything about it,
24:14and then lied to protect yourself is unforgivable to the department.
24:18Even though I sacrificed myself to save Nolan's life?
24:22What about that?
24:23But does my loss count for anything?
24:25Honestly, it's not enough.
24:27Even if you were to reapply to the FTO program,
24:29I would have to share those test results with Internal Affairs.
24:32Wait.
24:34So, this whole thing's a setup?
24:37I catch 22, I lie about the fire, and I fail the test.
24:40I tell the truth, and then you're going to use it against me.
24:43I thought you were giving me a fair shot here.
24:45Look, I'm sorry.
24:45I can see that you are genuinely trying to be a better person,
24:49but there is no coming back from what you did.
24:51Not here.
24:57Okay, I understand.
25:00Thank you for giving me the opportunity to tell the truth.
25:04I know that could not have been easy, given what I put you through.
25:08Ah, man, I thought it would be enough for me to come in here
25:11and to say I'm sorry and to do the work
25:14and not be that guy anymore, but...
25:20I guess I finally understand that there are simply things
25:23I just don't get to have anymore.
25:25There are doors that I close that...
25:29that I'm never going to reopen.
25:33Appreciate everything you taught me.
25:34I really do.
25:41Good luck, Ridley.
25:42You walk out of here knowing
25:44you finally took responsibility for your actions.
25:47And in my book, that counts for something.
25:59Bad news, there's no cop in the LAPD with your boyfriend's name.
26:03Check again.
26:04He's closed massive cases.
26:06The mayor gave him an award.
26:08I'm so sorry, but none of that is true.
26:11Well, if he's lying, why is his boss on your wall?
26:19You sure that's him?
26:20Yeah, Captain Jennings.
26:22Okay, well, that is problematic in a whole different way.
26:26Howard Jennings doesn't work here either.
26:28He retired eight years ago.
26:36Keep pumping.
26:37It needs to flow or it'll coagulate.
26:39Damn, bro.
26:40The human body is so cool.
26:43He's stabilizing.
26:44Uh, you might want to take a look at this.
26:46I think it's femoral hyperglobocyst exfoliating.
26:52As soon as they find out where the money is,
26:53they're going to kill us.
26:55We need to get way out.
26:56Well, you're the forgotten man right now,
26:57so if you see a move to make do it,
26:59I'll jump in.
27:02Are you sleeping, beauty?
27:03I am.
27:04You're in hell, bitch.
27:07Where's my money?
27:08Screw you.
27:09Come on, Isaac.
27:09You can't take it with you.
27:11Okay, I'll tell you.
27:12Come here.
27:12I'll tell you.
27:13I hit it.
27:17Just give him a second.
27:19He's still coming out of sedation.
27:20Yeah, he's never going to tell us.
27:21He's just going to screw us and then die.
27:24I hope it hurts, man.
27:26I hope you're in so much pain.
27:27You're praying for the sweet mercy of death
27:29because it's coming.
27:30I don't feel good.
27:31Can you unhook me?
27:33Hey, lady, you might want to tighten that tourniquet.
27:35Whoa, whoa.
27:35No!
27:36No!
27:40Wait!
27:43Tell me or I'll take a foot!
27:45Hey, what's that mean?
27:47His heart sucks.
27:48Get him back!
27:49Now!
27:50You yelled at us for shooting him,
27:51then you chopped his arm off?
27:52What the hell's wrong with you?
27:54I'm getting my money.
27:55I spent six months planning this job.
27:56Yeah, from the safety of this office,
27:57while we're the ones sticking our...
27:59Can you bring him back?
28:00No.
28:00We're out of time.
28:01Hey, stop arguing.
28:02Get over here and help me.
28:03With what?
28:04To fix your boss's mistake.
28:06I need you to pinch off this artery
28:07so I get a shot of adrenaline.
28:08Do it.
28:14Hey!
28:16Down, honey.
28:18He's a cop!
28:18I need three units in an ambulance.
28:42Code three.
28:43Multiple sale and send.
28:44One critically wounded paramedic.
28:46Great job, honey.
28:50I appreciate you coming in
28:51at such short notice, Captain.
28:53Are you kidding me?
28:54The Margaret Hoffman case
28:55is the one I can never forget.
28:57If you've got a fresh lead,
28:59I'll move heaven and earth
29:00to help you bring her killer to justice.
29:02We've got an old file plate out in here.
29:05Let's do it.
29:08Captain, I am Detective Nyla Harper.
29:10This is Detective Angela Lopez.
29:12This isn't about Margaret Hoffman.
29:14No, sir.
29:15I'll leave you to it.
29:20Think you can intimidate me
29:21with your little, uh, setup here?
29:24No, sir.
29:24You're a legendary tough guy
29:25who inspired loyalty in his men
29:27and fear in his enemies.
29:30Who the hell are you to mock me?
29:31Your worst nightmare.
29:33That's the first thing that springs to mind,
29:35but I don't know.
29:35It sounds a little cringy
29:37when I say it out loud, huh?
29:38We'll workshop it later.
29:39Right now, we're dying to know
29:41what happened to you.
29:42Why cross over to the dark side?
29:44I have no idea what you're talking about,
29:46and I'm leaving.
29:46I guess we'll just have to get our answers
29:48from Franklin Rose.
29:49Or the other two felons that you recruited,
29:51Marcus Kennedy and Jeremiah Gomez.
29:57And what crimes do you think
29:58these men have been doing?
30:00Well, robbing drug dealers
30:01so you can sell the product yourself.
30:04And before you protest
30:05that you've never heard of them,
30:06we have Jeremiah and Marcus in custody,
30:09and they dropped your name
30:10the second the cuffs came out.
30:11It's over, sir.
30:13We will be placing you under arrest.
30:15You have the right to remain silent.
30:17Anything you say can and will be used
30:19against you in a court of law.
30:20You have the right to an attorney.
30:22If you cannot afford an attorney,
30:24one will be provided for you.
30:26Do you understand?
30:33Yeah.
30:34Yeah, I understand.
30:36My entire career,
30:37I never once crossed the line.
30:39I was as straight and arrow as you could be.
30:44But my personal life
30:45was a bit, uh,
30:48more chaotic.
30:49Three wives, six kids.
30:50Seven.
30:51Oof.
30:51It got expensive.
30:53It got ridiculous.
30:54Credit cards were all maxed out.
30:55I thought it was behind on everything.
30:56You spend your entire career
30:58cleaning up messes
30:59desperate people made.
31:03Feeling superior.
31:05Turns out we all have a tipping point.
31:07I was just gonna do the dope rips
31:09until I got caught up financially.
31:11I thought,
31:11who the hell am I hurting?
31:12Drug dealers?
31:13They'd shoot their mother for a trans am.
31:18I gave my life
31:20to the job.
31:22I did way more good
31:24for this city
31:25than the wrong I did now.
31:32Let's go.
31:33Come on.
31:34Come on.
31:47That's Franklin.
31:55Hey, baby.
31:57I hope it's okay.
31:58I wanted to surprise you.
31:59Boy, did you?
32:00They were having a recruitment drive
32:02and I thought,
32:02wouldn't it be fun
32:03if you and me worked together?
32:05You would.
32:05Yeah, it sure would.
32:06But listen, baby,
32:06you haven't actually gone inside
32:07and talked to anybody, have you?
32:08No.
32:09I waited like you asked me to.
32:10Great.
32:11Oh, that is so great.
32:12Listen, so I do have a couple errands
32:14I have to run.
32:15Why don't you come with me?
32:16No, no.
32:17Hey, hey, hey!
32:18Show me your hands.
32:20Turn around and walk to the grass now.
32:22All right.
32:22Turn around.
32:23All right.
32:24Franklin Rose,
32:25you're under arrest
32:26of felony robbery.
32:27That guy's just late.
32:28Call my boss.
32:30No need, my man.
32:31Captain Jennings
32:31is already in holding.
32:33Let's move.
32:37Kitty?
32:39Are you serious?
32:41I really got a golden gut, huh?
32:44I wouldn't know a decent guy
32:45if he came up to me and said...
32:47Hey.
32:48You weren't kidding
32:49when you said you had to go do a thing
32:51before we could drown my sorrows, huh?
32:52Mm-hmm.
32:54Hi.
32:55Hi.
32:56Kitty Adams.
32:58Seth Ridley.
32:59Nice to meet you, Kitty.
32:59You, uh, new to town?
33:01You don't really have a big city vibe going on.
33:03In a good way.
33:04Uh, Kitty,
33:05I don't think you should.
33:06Why don't you blow off your friends
33:08and have a drink with me instead?
33:11I'll tell you my life story.
33:14Go for it, dude.
33:15Okay.
33:17What?
33:18Nothing.
33:19Maybe it's such a bad idea
33:20it's actually good.
33:30Detectives from the Pacific Division
33:32have connected our kidnappers
33:34to a bank robbery in Santa Monica.
33:35They made off with over $2 million.
33:37Oh, that explains
33:38why they were so desperate to find it.
33:40And why Isaac was so determined
33:41not to tell them.
33:41Oh, he took that secret to the grave.
33:43Which means that money's still out there.
33:45Hmm.
33:45Treasure hunt later?
33:48But we just have to give it back.
33:50Right.
33:51That's less fun.
33:52Less fun.
33:52Mm-hmm.
33:57The good news is that I'm alive.
33:59What's the bad news?
34:00Well, all things considered,
34:03there is none.
34:03The surgery was straightforward.
34:05The bullet missed all your major organs.
34:07Thank God.
34:09But this leaves us
34:10with the outstanding question.
34:11Is this a life lesson
34:12or a cautionary tale?
34:14Something tells me
34:15you already know the answer to that.
34:16Oh.
34:17Cautionary tale.
34:18All day.
34:19Definitely a thinker
34:20and not a doer.
34:21Well, personally,
34:22I think you would have made
34:24an excellent paramedic.
34:25You have more brain power
34:26than this entire hospital
34:28and just the right amount of bravery.
34:30That means a lot
34:31coming from the legend
34:33that is Bailey Noon
34:34and her husband's pretty cool, too.
34:37I told you.
34:37I'll keep him.
34:39You know, this reminds me
34:40of a fun allegory from Plato.
34:42It's much more compelling
34:43in the original ancient...
34:45Shh, I think you shouldn't rest.
34:46I'm fine.
34:47I'll just catch a Uber.
34:49You will not.
34:51I will drive you to your hotel.
34:53Plus, you promised me
34:55that we would have the chance
34:56to really talk,
34:57so I am going to take you hostage
34:59until we do.
35:01That's my girl.
35:02For what it's worth,
35:04I slammed the door
35:06in Ashton's face today.
35:09Figuratively.
35:11Disappointing.
35:14Like I told you before,
35:15he was just a temptation.
35:17Nothing more.
35:19But it did shake me up a bit.
35:22You have to admit
35:23that our marriage has been
35:25pretty static the last few years.
35:27I would have said solid,
35:28but I understand what you mean.
35:32I also understand now
35:35that this was more than
35:36just a new job for you.
35:38It was the beginning of something.
35:42But my question is,
35:43does our marriage have a part
35:44in this new beginning?
35:46Yes.
35:47I just got my head turned around
35:49and I made a mess of things.
35:53I want us to be healthy again.
35:55I know we can't just
35:56click our heels together
35:57and make that happen.
36:00We can,
36:01if we do it in therapy.
36:04Yes.
36:05I think that's exactly
36:07where we should be.
36:09Look, how about
36:11if
36:13I take you home?
36:15You can sleep in the guest room
36:16if you want,
36:18but
36:20we can keep talking.
36:25Okay.
36:27I'd like that.
36:30You're not getting nothing, right?
36:32Just being your crutch.
36:33I'm just saying.
36:33Come here to celebrate
36:41the death of Shangri-La?
36:43Not at all.
36:44It's been a challenging day
36:45all around.
36:46Wanted to make sure
36:47you're doing okay.
36:48Well, thanks, kid.
36:49That's a lot more thoughtful
36:51than my traitorous
36:52lottery neighbors have been.
36:54They couldn't wait
36:55to get out of here.
36:56I mean,
36:57it looks like they bought you
36:58a few things
36:58on the way out, though.
36:59Oh, if they think
37:00they can talk me out of suing
37:01by buying me barbecues
37:03and ice makers,
37:04they are sadly mistaken.
37:06Does that mean
37:06that they're up for grabs?
37:07No, I'm not an idiot.
37:09I already sold them
37:09on eBay for a buttload.
37:11Okay.
37:11Since you're both here,
37:13I'm way past due
37:14with flushing
37:15the septic system
37:16on the RV,
37:16and it takes
37:17at least three hands.
37:18Oh, we got that.
37:20We got all the plans.
37:21The thing.
37:22The thing.
37:23Yeah.
