00:03Hey, you're not nervous I'm gonna embarrass you in front of your old captain, are you?
00:07Of course not. I don't know why I'm so anxious.
00:09Russ has always been one of my biggest champions.
00:11He's the one that pushed me to go to Officer Kennedy's squad for my first tour.
00:15Well, I'm sure he's not coming all the way to L.A. so that he could tell you he's disappointed
00:18within you.
00:19I just wish he would give me some sort of idea what this is about, but that's Russ.
00:23There she is!
00:24Hey, Russ! It's so good to see you!
00:27Okay.
00:28John Nolan.
00:28Colonel Russell Wilkes, please, call me Russ.
00:31It's a pleasure to finally meet the man behind the story.
00:34Yeah, likewise. Sit down.
00:36I really appreciate you being here, John.
00:39No, I didn't give away too much over the phone, but what I'm here to discuss would affect both your
00:43lives.
00:43It seems only fair to include you in the conversation.
00:46The SECDEF has tasked me with putting together a working group inside the Pentagon.
00:50Wow.
00:51A team of my own choosing that will spearhead bring the battlefield medicine into the 22nd century.
00:56It's the most consequential assignment in my career.
00:58And you are the first person I'm asking to be a part of this.
01:04I mean, it's an honor just to be nominated.
01:06Totally.
01:07Russ is a genius.
01:09He could recruit anyone for this working group.
01:11But the fact that he called me first, I mean, that's pretty great.
01:15Yeah.
01:15A hundred percent.
01:16That's so cool.
01:17But I mean, our life is perfect right now.
01:20There's no way we're messing that up.
01:21No way.
01:23Perfect.

02:21we have to upgrade we need more room a second tub a closet that fits all our clothes
02:28i mean sure that would be nice but we created our family here which i love but now we're bursting
02:34at the seams and mama's ready to crack open that trust fund and get crazy i'm not sure i like
02:39the
02:39sound of that tough we have money uh no we have some money but housing prices in a layer insane
02:46i guess it couldn't hurt to see what's out there i love that you've learned to roll with
02:52me rather than resisting yes you have successfully broken my spirit yay
03:00quickie before the kids wake up oh um
03:10too late i like this one i bet you could hang a swing set from that tree right there in
03:16the back
03:17that was my favorite until i saw this it has a pool and a gym and a screening room wait
03:24hold up you got
03:25screening room kind of money depends on which one of us you ask wesley is the king of frugality
03:30so he would definitely say no but i lived on credit cards until i met him so i'm way more
03:35comfortable
03:36pushing the envelope hey nolan did you tell officer hart that the shooters last night were furries
03:43no i said they were wearing hoodies are you taking the case yeah do you mind just walking us through
03:48it
03:48yeah uh bailey and i were coming back from dinner at central station market date night no her former
03:53commanding officer came to offer her a job uh pentagon think tank wow you really married outside
04:00of your league i know right so is she gonna take it no uh it would mean relocating to dc
04:04so it's a
04:05non-starter for us i mean it might be a non-starter for you but i guarantee that your overachiever
04:09of a
04:09wife is seriously thinking about it no actually she was laughing it off when we talked about oh my
04:15god she's actually thinking about it seriously okay well no no if that's something she really wants to do
04:21relocating to dc could be cool it's not i spent time there during my joint ops days it took me
04:26about three weeks to unclench every time i came home thank you for that insight so any clarity on
04:32the victim fred wilson 48 cpa married no kids no criminal record making him an unlikely candidate
04:39for a targeted assassination is there anything else about the shooters that you didn't give heart
04:44sorry sorry i did not get a good look at them what about cctv anything there they were pretty covered
04:50up but take a look at this uh looks like the litter's sf that would make him southern front no
05:02visible
05:03tattoos on the second shooter huh yeah so why would a member of a white supremacist gang partner up with
05:11a
05:11black man to execute a civilian in broad daylight i told you he'd spot it you trained him well could
05:16be that our innocent cpa was helping the southern front to launder money or maybe he had a drug problem
05:23and owed them money we're trying to get the me to rush the talk screen but he's dodging our calls
05:28oh
05:28say no more i'll go deliver the ask in person let me collect my boot
05:34hey do you know what this is an iron you know what it's not a machete i am due in
05:40court in two hours
05:41to testify about a man attacking people on a bus with a machete okay something must have got
05:45switched around in the evidence locker we'll figure it out no no the case is time not waived if we
05:49don't
05:50find it fast that psycho is going to be let free okay have you told the prosecutor no it's wesley
05:55and i am just trying to keep him in blissful ignorance as long as possible help me that's the case
06:01number no i know but it's wrong the case number isn't wrong the item might be wrong but numbers are
06:06just
06:06numbers fine um so the point is i have to be at court uh and and i need that machete
06:15like asap
06:15case number oh okay uh we're not going to find it by using the case number the numbers got switched
06:21well if you don't have the case number then i can't help you oh wesley's gonna kill me it's uh
06:25relax maybe it's just a typo right the first eight numbers are the date the crime was on january 20th
06:31try
06:312010-2026 try 020-01-2026 wow 20-01-2025
06:48are you sure you used the new data entry procedure we changed it a few months ago of course i
06:54did i keep
06:56but i wasn't the one who logged the entry because you wouldn't approve the overtime
07:00i had smitty do it
07:04what the hell is your problem uh good morning i have bent over backwards to treat you well and
07:10this is how you repay me i don't i'm sorry i don't know what's happening right now like hell
07:14you know your little innocence act would be a lot more believable if they weren't in your office
07:18just know this if you go through with it i will do everything in my power to absolutely destroy you
07:31hi who are you what are you doing in my office and why has it sent vivian into a rage
07:34spiral rita
07:35sanchez this is bradley worth we work with the democratic party and we want you to run for
07:40district attorney and now it makes sense that's a hard no for me by the way but thanks for stopping
07:46by look you obviously know that vivian eckhart's running on a post and still monty dropped out of
07:49the race yeah but that was a month ago why come to me now candidly we've been having a hard
07:53time
07:53finding someone to take up his mantle so i'm your last choice hardly
08:02look mr evers i wish there was time for us to do our usual dance of seduction and ego stroking
08:08but as
08:08you rightly pointed out we're up against it the deadline to enter this race is in three days and
08:12vivian becoming da is worst case scenario for the people of the city i mean she has the most regressive
08:17record in your office oh i agree but there's zero chance of me beating her i was temporarily disbarred
08:21because of your dealings with elijah stone we know yeah and we are prepared to embrace that i mean
08:26you're a hero who put his life and career on the line to take down a very dangerous kingpin voters
08:31love
08:32a man who's willing to stand up for what's right not to mention you're married to a cop which
08:36automatically makes you a more attractive candidate to anyone worried that progressive means soft on crime
08:42look i don't want vivian to win any more than you do but but nothing a vivian victory will hurt
08:47a lot
08:47of people and right now you're our last hope at stopping her it may be a long shot but isn't
08:52it worth
08:52the risk i thought you didn't have time to stroke my ego you have to let me see i don't
09:02actually on tv
09:03the family has to identify the body yeah we don't do that anymore that's right ma'am it's no longer
09:09policy but trust me it's for the best seeing your loved one like that it it changes how you remember
09:16them forever i don't understand fred was a saint why would someone want to kill him well that's what
09:23we're trying to figure out he's really dead yes ma'am i'm afraid so and we are so sorry for
09:30your loss
09:37thanks for the assist grief makes people a little crazy and i don't like dealing with them when
09:43they're normal why you work with the dead i suppose uh anything jump out at you the preliminary
09:50autopsy no uh run-of-the-mill gun homicide the bullet to the head killed him instantly but the
09:55the shot to the body was fatal as well any signs of drug use no but the the talk screen
10:00is underway
10:01i'll let harper and lopez know the second it comes in perfect thank you very much i once had a
10:06widower
10:07insist on seeing his wife's body back when i was in sugarland ended up suing the city for mental
10:11anguish did he win no case got dismissed when he was convicted of her murder wow
10:19hey place let her go oh hi hi it's all it's all good she's she's fine i'm fine yeah i
10:26can see that
10:27but two minutes ago you were grieving i'm still grieving it manifests itself in unknowable ways
10:33right but you brought your boyfriend to help you identify your husband's body
10:36i needed emotional support she's very sensitive yeah well you can emotionally support each other
10:44on the way to the station let's go oh this way this way yes okay put your hands down yes
10:50sir wow
10:52i know this looks bad understatement your husband was murdered and in less than 24 hours you were
10:59getting busy with your side piece down the hall from his body i didn't even want to be there
11:04uh i told faith it would look weird but she insisted so you were just trying to be a good
11:11boyfriend todd is a terrible boyfriend he's a lot of fun but anything that requires emotional depth
11:18okay what about fred what was he like he was always super cool anytime that i came by you're saying
11:24fred
11:24knew about the affair it wasn't an affair it was an open marriage the whole thing was fred's idea guy
11:32wanted a little bit of a little bit of peace is it possible that todd wanted you all to himself
11:37listen
11:37i am twice divorced i am still paying alimony to the first i am not trying to put a ring
11:44on it there's
11:45a reason why todd is divorced todd is a good time like coney island fred on the other hand was
11:54deep and
11:56and soulful and romantic like paris coney island is fun to visit but you don't move there oh her paris
12:10what do you think i think people are crazy but neither of them is a physical match for the shooters
12:15still doesn't rule out murder for hire um yeah did you put wesley up to this no idea what you're
12:22talking about but if it's pissing you off i'm happy to take credit if he insists on moving forward
12:27i can't guarantee that i'll be able to keep you out of the crossfire
12:33did she just threaten me sure seems like it but why no idea but i'm gonna find out oh husband
12:42you only call me husband when you're mad what did i do you tell me vivian just stopped by
12:48she told you i was running for da wait you're running for da since when no wait it got sprung
12:53on me this morning what does that mean some people came to talk to me about taking over sean's campaign
12:57and you told them no i did initially but but now you're thinking about it i mean i'd at least
13:05like
13:05to discuss it but i am supposed to be my way to court right now only lucy texted to tell
13:10me that our key
13:11piece of evidence is missing so is there any chance that we can just table this until tonight fine but
13:15only
13:15because yelling at you in the bullpen might come across as unprofessional thank you i love you
13:25everything okay are you free for dinner tonight depends can i bring james as long as you tell him
13:29he has to be team lopez on the penalty of death uh we'll be sure to prep him i remember
13:37lucy gave me
13:38the machete and i logged it like i always do okay so that right there is the problem smitty the
13:43system
13:44changed most of the world uses day month year month day year was causing all of these issues
13:49for us with our international cases which is why we switched you know didn't you read the memo
13:54sorry wait i just heard that out loud of course you didn't important memos are always covered
13:59in the roll call why do i have a panicked ada knocking on my door to ask for my help
14:05to find a missing
14:06machete because smitty wasn't listening when you went over the change in how we filed case numbers
14:11what the day month year thing yeah i didn't go over it my last day as watch commander was crazy
14:17i left
14:17it for you to do i thought you handled it oh it's not my fault it's yours everyone got the
14:22memo it's
14:22still your fault smitty well it's still on him for trusting me i didn't trust you i thought he covered
14:27it and i just didn't follow up i can't believe i dropped the ball i don't care whose fault it
14:30is i need the
14:31machete smitty used the old system right try 01 20 20 26. i i can't it's a drop down menu
14:39there's no
14:4020th month once you can enter the 20th month but you can't retrieve the 20th month correct no that's
14:45wrong it shouldn't work that way but that is how it works wesley says the judge is losing his patience
14:51if you can't produce the evidence he's prepared to dismiss the case guys this is bigger than one case
14:56everything smitty log has been misfiled going back two months did the widow shed some light uh not
15:03exactly but her doorbell cam did this is from two days ago the car is registered to a writer frost
15:09known member of the southern front well that tattoo is a match definitely could be our shooter any idea
15:14who the other fella is not yet but his tats are 54 street gang besides the racial element don't sf
15:19and
15:20the five four compete for the same meth business they did up until a few months ago when the armenians
15:24pushed southern front further into the valley but they are certainly not allies they case the garage
15:29but not the house any idea what they were looking for we've got a last known for ryder we're hoping
15:34you
15:34go ask him
15:45wait
16:06come on come on
16:29get your hands on your head down on your knees
16:39wait wait wait wait wait stop stop
16:41come on
16:59i'm sorry are these cases from the future apparently the system didn't know what to do with month 20 and
17:04so
17:04we just made the math work and 12 months plus eight is august 20 27 cases from 21st become september
17:10of next year and so on this is unbelievable the judge granted a continuance but we need the machete
17:14by noon tomorrow yep don't worry we will have it i'll stick around i feel responsible no it's
17:19completely on me i'm sure to clarify you are on your way out okay you guys are both spartacus okay
17:24let's
17:24please start opening the boxes are you coming no russ i thought you had a flight to catch i do
17:31but i couldn't leave l.a without making one last appeal well i guess you better come in then thank
17:37you
17:40oh you've really made a nice life for yourself here noon
17:43i can uh i can see why you'd hesitate before giving it up but
17:50anything i can say to convince you can i ask why i'm not a doctor or a scientist i don't
17:57have a phd
17:58why are you asking me maybe i've been around long enough to know that having a few extra letters
18:03after your name doesn't make you a genius i also know that if i bring you a problem you won't
18:06rest
18:07until you've looked at it from every conceivable angle twice before bringing me a solution what if i
18:12can't find a solution hell girl that's why they call it a think tank does me no good to have
18:17a bunch
18:17of identical people with identical viewpoints looking in identical directions baseball team can't be all
18:24pitchers need somebody to play shortstop all right i miss my flight if i don't get going so you know
18:29i take a few days to think about it talk it over with your man and call me i will
18:37you know noon if you don't want the job because it's not the right fit or the
18:41right time that's fine i get it but deciding that you're not good enough before somebody else can
18:47that's the coward's way i know you're not a coward no sir i'm not
18:58giddy up
19:07yeah all right okay thanks for the update suspect in the central station market shooting
19:13fell to his death that's awful that guy thought he was an action hero tried to leap between two
19:17buildings any leads on the second shooter no but the brass has been blown on my phone
19:21you know a guy falls to his death in a police pursuit everyone's got questions captain always a pleasure
19:29i do not miss that i don't think i've seen him sleep more than four consecutive hours since
19:33he took this job i know being sidelined for the president's visit shook him up and even though
19:39it was more of a cya decision by the brass an indictment on his performance the optics weren't
19:44great for him do you think he should be worried i think that watch commander is a thankless job
19:50you're not in the field but you're responsible for every knucklehead that is patrol officers want
19:54resources you can't give them the brass expects results that you realistically can't produce and when
20:00there's mad press and they're looking for a head to roll right i don't think of it that way because
20:04i made it look easy you'll get the hang of it
20:12the machete yes i gotta i gotta call wesley all right way to beat on that
20:23oh yeah that sounds horrible it wasn't pretty that's for sure nolan and i barely had time to
20:29twist before it was all over oh so where does that leave the case still trying to id the second
20:34shooter
20:38hey did you know the armenians pushed the southern front's meth trade deeper into the deeper into the
20:42valley yep happened a few months ago that's what i read every gang report the department puts out and
20:47i haven't seen anything about that yeah see those reports only get you so far i mean the best
20:51information is usually through word of mouth which is great for me because i know people from all over
20:56the city well how can i compete with that when i just got here it takes time to cultivate that
21:02kind
21:02of trust true but i mean you'd be shocked by what some of these low-level game makers put on
21:06social media
21:08the ellie gang subreddit is a great resource look i gotta stay up anyway i've got a 2 a.m
21:13zoom date
21:13with raj why don't i show you some of my favorite accounts to follow who knows you might see something
21:19on writer all right let's go coach i'm ready hey good to see you you too how you doing thought
21:27we might
21:27need this oh very thoughtful what do you guys think should we crack it now or save it for dinner
21:33my vote is
21:34now okay and don't be stingy with the pores everyone clear on the plan oh yes yes james snows
21:42agreed with everything you say and keep the starry-eyed reformer talk on our minimum perfect
21:48operation killer dream is a go mm-hmm he has a point we complain all the time about undocumented
21:54witnesses being too scared to testify instituting a policy that would protect them from deportation
22:00that would be a game changer i thought it was supposed to be team lopez i know but it's a
22:06good
22:06idea i'm not saying it's not a good idea but i think we're getting away from the larger point which
22:11is we'd be opening our lives up to public scrutiny which would be hard enough for you and me and
22:18i worry what it'll do to the kids so do i but i also want them to grow up knowing
22:24that their father is
22:25willing to fight for the rights of everybody even when it's difficult hey man what you started it
22:32think of what i'd be in the position to influence as the d.a i could end cash bail expand
22:38victim
22:39services emphasize counseling institutional change is always hard right but does that mean that i
22:44shouldn't try what about the house yeah well we would probably have to wait on that i mean optics would
22:50and you'd be fine letting public perception dictate how we live our lives in service of real reform
22:58maybe real change requires sacrifice but i would not do it at the expense of our family i would need
23:04to know that you were on board 100 percent hello whoa something smells good because i cooked
23:16we more than cooked candles should i be worried no not at all i just know you had a really
23:23hard day
23:23and i wanted to do something nice for you oh yeah uh-huh and uh what do you really want
23:30in exchange for
23:31this totally no strings attached feast a conversation about dc i didn't know we needed to have one i know
23:40and that is my fault but all day i have not been able to get this idea out of my
23:47head
23:48and russ stopped by on the way to the airport and gave me his final appeal and it made me
23:53question
23:54why i was so quick to shut it down well and before you tell me no or give me 100
24:00reasons why
24:00it won't work all i ask is that you spend some time to explore the idea and by that you
24:06mean see what
24:07transferring to dc police would look like make some calls ask some questions kick the tires and
24:15what if we come to different conclusions we abort the mission either we're both in or both out we
24:22need both keys to launch a torpedoes yes what do you think
24:29i think i want you to be happy and if this is something you want then i will do everything
24:36i can
24:36from my end to see if it's feasible we're in this together
24:48is it just me or these numbers starting to blend together it is not just you everything okay with the
24:54us rider's death was ruled an accident but there's always a chance they could reopen the case or
25:01blame me for this whole evidence logging mess hey just take the win you're right
25:07look i swear if i lose watch command because of smithy that's not gonna happen
25:12i have been manifesting that we will find this machete all day manifesting god i got you away from
25:18what is just in time shut up you gotta be kidding me oh my god
25:31this is it this is it thank god all right let's go home okay

26:57his vent and found the body shop doing the repairs on his car the bumper tested positive for blood
27:02french sticks are running the sample what's ryder's connection to this woman oh mabel was his foster
27:06mother
27:10that's the second shooter that is keeson holmes 22 proud member of the 5-4 and former foster brother
27:16to ryder frost so they murdered fred wilson as revenge for killing mabel well mabel wasn't dead
27:26in the city all i remember is going out to bring my trash cans in and then waking up here
27:33and they
27:33told me it was a a hit and run unfortunately the man suspected of hitting you with his car was
27:39murdered
27:39we have reason to believe your former foster sons ryder frost and kingston holmes want a revenge for
27:45what happened to you it was painful enough losing ryder and kingston to the streets i don't think i can
27:53take knowing that they killed a man because of me?
27:58We're very sorry, but I'm afraid that's not all.
28:01Ryder died yesterday trying to jump between rooftops.
28:05They were just hurt little boys underneath it all, you know?
28:09When Ryder first came to us, he was so shut down.
28:16He barely said two words to me that first month.
28:20But Kingston, he always had this way about him,
28:25this lightness, even after all he'd been through.
28:31But then they started to do everything together,
28:38and bit by bit, I got to see Ryder
28:44for the sweet, sensitive boy he was.
28:48What happened?
28:49Ryder's mom came back into the picture
28:52with her skinhead boyfriend,
28:54and once he was gone,
28:57all of Kingston's light went with him.
29:01He started to act out, getting in trouble,
29:07and he was finally put away
29:09on some trumped-up vandalism charge.
29:13And then, he joined the gang in prison.
29:20And suddenly,
29:23the two boys I saw become brothers
29:27were turned into mortal enemies by the streets.
29:32I'm sorry for how much pain this has caused you,
29:35but we'd like to bring Kingston in without any more bloodshed.
29:39Do you have any way of contacting him?
29:45What do you want me to say?
29:48Hey, the judge signed off on the wiretop.
29:50We should be good to go on a few.
29:51Great.
29:52Uh, what you were saying yesterday about D.C.
29:55and needing to unclench,
29:57it can't be that bad, right?
30:00All right, maybe I've just,
30:02I've been spoiled by L.A.
30:04I'm sure the city has a lot of great things about it,
30:06but from what I saw,
30:08being a cop there just means a lot of crowd control
30:11around government offices,
30:12usually in crappy weather,
30:14snowstorms in the winter,
30:16swamp-like humidity in the summer.
30:18You get two weeks of cherry blossoms a year,
30:22and that's about it.
30:23Oh.
30:24Also, speaking as someone
30:25who thought transferring to another department
30:27would be easy,
30:28be prepared to relearn everything you thought you knew.
30:32Yeah, all right, we gotta go.
30:47Mama?
30:47It's me, baby.
30:49Oh, thank God.
30:50I tried to visit you in the ICU,
30:52but they said blood family only.
30:53They made it sound like you were dying.
30:55Well, I am a little banged up,
30:56but I'll be all right.
30:58I wish I could come see you.
31:00Well, me too.
31:01You heard about Ryder?
31:05Oh, you know,
31:07me and Ryder don't really
31:08mess with each other anymore.
31:11He's dead, baby.
31:12Killed.
31:13Running away from what you boys did.
31:17I don't know what you're talking about.
31:19Kingston, please.
31:21You never were a good liar.
31:26You need to turn yourself in.
31:29I can't.
31:30You know what happened
31:30the last time I went inside?
31:31I had to join the 5-4
31:32just to make it out alive.
31:34What other choice do you have?
31:36Just don't worry about me, Mama, okay?
31:37Just don't worry.
31:38I got a way out.
31:40Into Mexico, where I can disappear.
31:41Mexico?
31:43What the heck do you know
31:44about Mexico?
31:45You know, Kingston,
31:46this is Detective Nyla Harper
31:48of the LAPD.
31:49Are you working with the cops?
31:50She is trying to save your life.
31:53Listen to me.
31:53If you run,
31:54things will end badly for you.
31:56But if you turn yourself in,
31:58we can try and help you.
32:03Please.
32:04He's scared.
32:05Don't hurt him.
32:07He's not a kid anymore,
32:08Miss Sinclair.
32:08He killed a man in cold blood.
32:10So now we have to go get him.
32:11Let's go get him.
32:33Yo, what's up, K?
32:36They got you working the door already, huh?
32:39Damn, those trying to come up.
32:42So I fought for life.
32:56Yo, P-mate.
32:59Uh, can we talk?
33:01For sure.
33:01Come here.
33:03You good?
33:05Uh, talk to me.
33:12I gotta get out of town.
33:15You sure you got that hookup with the cartel tunnels into Mexico?
33:19So, why?
33:21What happened?
33:22Unless you know the better.
33:23Just trust me on that.
33:25When you say trust me, I trust you, okay?
33:28Make a few phone calls.
33:29Look, relax.
33:30Have a drink.
33:32You know we got you.
33:52What?
33:53I truly didn't believe you'd be stupid enough to bring your dumb ass back around here.
33:58After all the disrespect showing us.
34:02Yeah, you hidden civilians.
34:04You working with Nazis.
34:06Trace on Kingston's phone landed at 4700 Hilldale.

37:07me trade please please get on your stomach go drop the good
37:36the kids process ah thank you for that um look i realized this was a bit of a tough one
37:42you all right i'll be all right i know i shouldn't feel sympathy but
37:49he's just a boy look no one is saying you can't feel sympathy but at the end of the day
37:53he did
37:54make the choice to pull that trigger why don't you go home i'll take care of the paperwork
38:00yes sir thank you you bet
38:08it amazes me how one man can wreak such havoc on the entire lapd smitty is a force of nature
38:16i got a minute yeah sure what's up well bailey has been offered a pretty impressive job in dc
38:23pentagon think tank and i was just wondering what a transfer to the dc pd would would be like
38:30yeah i can get you in touch with a few people but you do know you would have to start
38:35at the
38:35very bottom again including redoing the academy i've done it before you were also five years younger
38:42yes you would get a pretty hefty signing bonus that's a perk but your annual salary would be
38:49much less than you make in la plus the cost of living in dc is just as expensive so in
38:54the long
38:55run your bonus really won't make a difference especially if bailey's only making the government
39:00salary right i'm sorry if this is not the answer you were looking for no no that's um
39:06i was just looking for the truth yeah well good luck thank you
39:15hey
39:18the lapd would be sad to see you go thank you sir
39:29guess what what we won that's great judge give you any grief about the evidence i think he was too
39:37confused by the explanation to challenge it take the win i prepared a 10 minute lecture for tomorrow's
39:44roll call to make sure no one can ever again use ignorance as an excuse when mislabeling case
39:48numbers you know you're really good watch commander i'm figuring it out no listen no matter what kind
39:55of craziness is going on at the station you're always the center of calm and the rest of us need
40:00that i need that thank you tell you what list of things we can't trust smitty with is getting longer
40:06do you think he's doing it on purpose weaponized incompetence yeah i don't think he's that strategic
40:20hey sorry i missed dinner
40:24hey bedtime
40:27you should run for da are you sure because if you're not in 100 percent i'm in the more i
40:36thought
40:36about it the more i realized this was exactly why you joined the da's office in the first place
40:42and i'm proud you want to set that example for our children especially because every day i see
40:47firsthand the people our system has failed and inevitably the ones who suffer the most are other
40:54kids you sure you're okay waiting on a new house no but like you said real change requires sacrifice
41:06and i love this house we brought home two babies here
41:14we also made two babies here so we did
41:22no food to entice me with i see no but i have wine
41:30listen i don't want to beat around the bush i did my due diligence
41:33and i am sorry honey i don't think i can do dc it would mean starting all over again as
41:43a rookie
41:43only this time instead of being 45 i'd be 50. oh
41:50what if
41:54i'm not ready to say no
41:57well you did say we both had to be in or you would walk away
42:01i know and i meant it when i said it but now you still want it
42:13so where does that leave us
42:19so
42:29so
42:54Damn it.
