00:00You live inside my heart, brown eyes in the line of fire.
00:08I get worried when you're gone too long.
00:14Sorry, did you say something?
00:16No, you just were making a face.
00:18Everything all right?
00:19Yeah, yeah, totally.
00:20It'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.
00:30I wish somebody was writing love songs about me.
00:32The three of you are so happy, my love life is as cold as a frosted frog.
00:36You're a young pen.
00:37There's plenty of time to find true happiness.
00:39Yeah, or learn to love being alone.
00:42All right, let's focus.
00:43Just got out of a meeting with the brass, and everyone is feeling the pinch.
00:47Recruitment numbers are down, retirement numbers are up.
00:49Bottom line, prepare to work more OT where the department manages staffing shortages,
00:54and we launched this new recruitment drive.
01:00Oh!
01:01What's going on?
01:02We won!
01:03We won!
01:04We won!
01:05We won what?
01:06The lottery.
01:08Shangri-La has been played every week for 12 years.
01:13We're rich, bitch!
01:14Smitty, out.
01:19When did you say this recruitment drive was?
01:22I'm gonna win for you like I know you want me to die.
01:30You should call in sick.
01:31Hang 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.
01:37I mean, do you even have an official job yet?
01:39No.
01:39And I'm trying so hard to be zen about that.
01:42My former position was perfect.
01:44It's my own fault for 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.
01:54There's too many naps.
01:55My 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.
02:18I just voted for you.
02:20Why are you two going to work?
02:21Shouldn'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.
02:27Badly.
02:28Rita gave us the latest poll numbers and then quit.
02:30So rather than waste another minute on a failed campaign
02:32that neither one of us enjoyed for a second,
02:34we are first day of the rest of our lives in it.
02:37Okay.
02:37Well, I can't complain about having my bestie back on the job.
02:41Hey, why don't we do dinner tonight?
02:42Just the four of us.
02:43You're not gonna watch the returns?
02:45No.
02:45There'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.
03:07Alright, I'll be right in.
03:09Alright.
03:14Sup?
03:15Hey, um, how would you feel about having a small gathering at your house tonight?
03:18Oh, what's the occasion?
03:20Wesley tanking the DA race.
03:22Is that cause for celebration?
03:23No, 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.
03:31Yeah, sure.
03:32We can have it here.
03:33Great.
03:33I will start a group chat.
03:34Alright.
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.
04:02Great.
04:02You're in charge of staffing this up.
04:03What?
04:04Hold on.
04:04No, that's...
04:05I was not trying to...
04:08Fine.
04:10Penn!
04:11Juarez.
04:12You're on a special assignment today.
04:13Penn's still a rookie.
04:14Exactly.
04:15Who better to give insight to a recruit than someone going through training?
04:18Guys, get started.
04:19The paperwork's inside.
04:21Hey, how's it going?
04:22Good.
04:23Did the brass send you down here to help me with the recruitment drive?
04:25In a consulting capacity.
04:27And only if you need me.
04:29So say you don't need me so I can go back 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?
04:47What happened?
04:47Oh, 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 lieutenant.
04:53They know I'm good for it.
04:55Ah!
04:55Oh, God.
04:56You are not okay.
04:57Smitty, make yourself useful and get the lieutenant down to St. Stephen's.
04:59No, no.
05:00I can drive myself.
05:01No, you can't, but I can call an ambulance.
05:02Or your wife?
05:03We can call your wife.
05:03No, no.
05:04Definitely not.
05:06Let's go, Smitty.
05:08I do not want to hear about your lottery situation.
05:11No problem.
05:12But I do have a teletherapy appointment starting at 5, so you might overhear a bit.
05:21Good morning.
05:22Oh, good morning.
05:23Come on in.
05:24Thank you for being so understanding.
05:26I know I left you in the lurch when I went to D.C.
05:30All good.
05:31So, what do you have in store for me?
05:33Well, obviously your old job is gone.
05:36But we do have a new class of paramedic recruits, and I want you to train one.
05:40You're giving me a rookie?
05:42I am.
05:43Oakley!
05:45Yes, sir?
05:46This is Bailey Noon.
05:47You'll be training with her.
05:48Pleasure to meet you.
05:49I 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
05:54afield as Mumbai.
05:55They published a fascinating study 12 days ago on emergency medicine and high-density
05:59populations.
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.
06:13I changed my mind.
06:14I'm fine.
06:14I'm fine.
06:16Oh, what is going on?
06:17He woke up with a stabbing pain in his lower back.
06:20And it hurts when he pees.
06:21Smitty!
06:22What?
06:22I could hear you cursing from outside the station bathroom.
06:25Oh, my God.
06:27Wait.
06:28You're that doctor.
06:29You're the one.
06:30Smitty!
06:31Get out of here now.
06:32Back to the station.
06:33Yes, sir.
06:34Good luck.
06:36I'm the doctor that what?
06:38Like you don't know.
06:39I really don't, but you know what?
06:41That 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.
06:58And 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.
07:10It'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?
07:18Give a first blush eval and maybe a few pointers?
07:22Yes, of course.
07:23But it's gonna cost you.
07:25I should hope so.
07:27I gotta go.
07:28All right.
07:28Looking forward to you hung up as well.
07:31A butt load of hemostatic gauze as requested.
07:37How can I help?
07:38Uh, watch first.
07:40I like things a certain way.
07:42A lot of people put their first hand bag on the gurney,
07:44but I like it in the outside compartment.
07:47That way I can grab the gurney while you grab the bag.
07:49Smart.
07:51You know in early agrarian societies they used to-
07:53Let's just focus on modern emergency medicine.
07:56Yeah, yeah, of course.
07:58But I find that understanding the history of things
08:00can give context to modern emergency medicine
08:02and elucidates the reasons why we do things
08:05the way we do today.
08:08All right, look, you can spot the losers a mile away.
08:11Don't waste any time with anyone you know
08:12won't pass the physical exam or the psych valve.
08:14Got it.
08:15Fill out a questionnaire.
08:16Let them know that we follow up with a polygraph
08:18and a background check.
08:19That'll knock out at least a third of the duds.
08:21Okay, just so I can set expectations,
08:23I mean, what ratio of good candidates to losers
08:26should we expect?
08:29Does this background check include Florida?
08:32So I have been arrested before, but I wasn't convicted.
08:35Does that count?
08:36Defense.
08:36What was the charge?
08:38Befouling the punch bowl, the company picnic.
08:41And felony murder.
08:44And I thought to myself,
08:45why not take this white hot rage
08:48that I feel every second of every day
08:50and use it for something positive?
08:53Like curb stomping violent felons.
08:55Okay.
08:56Try MMA.
08:57Next.
08:59Morning.
09:01Heard about the personnel shortage.
09:04And, uh...
09:05Well, you guys need cops and I went back in.
09:07So...
09:08How can we make this happen?
09:13Where did you go to school?
09:14Johns Hopkins for my masters in neuroscience.
09:17Well, actually it was a double masters in that, in philosophy.
09:20Okay.
09:21Well, when we...
09:22I had a PhD in molecular biology at UCLA.
09:24Then I spent a year at Oxford doing medical research.
09:26That was around the time I started thinking...
09:28Maybe I should have some real life experience.
09:31Well, you've come to the right place.
09:34Okay.
09:34Rescue 53, respond to 314 88 12th Avenue.
09:37Manage 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 on scene with a distressed male at 12th Avenue.
10:09I thought we'd be doing this over coffee.
10:12What better way to evaluate him than seeing him in action?
10:14Seeing him in action.
10:16Exactly.
10:16Jace, 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.
10:31Probably from heavy blood loss.
10:38Oh.
10:39Gun shovels.
10:40That explains the heavy blood loss.
10:45No.
10:46No!
10:46No, no.
10:47No!
10:48No, no!
10:48Easy, easy.

10:52No!
10:54No!
10:55No!
10:56No!

11:18I'm just doing a ride-along no we can't stay here get Isaac in the car you can't do that
11:23that'll kill him get him in the ambulance you're gonna keep him alive till we get what we need
11:27I'm on it whoa hey back up they got it what do you want to do with this guy I
11:35need him
11:36I'm just a paramedic he's a doctor all right search him and let's get gone meet us back at
11:42the office heads up let's go get in
12:18you know the history of battlefield Madison is truly fascinating until about 50 years ago most
12:22major wounds were guaranteed fatal okay do you want to die oh not particularly shut up and drive
12:27what did this guy do to you anyway stole our money Isaac here was in charge of keeping it
12:33safe we were supposed to meet dizzy it up now he stashed it somewhere trying to keep it all for
12:38himself but that's not gonna happen well this money he stole assuming he recently stole it from someone
12:43else Brink's truck bank what you ask a lot of questions shut up the only answer I care about
12:50this what exactly is your plan here three steps wake the traitor up get him to tell us where the
12:55money is kill him this man is barely stable what happens if the third step comes first then you're
13:01dying in this ambulance along with him I knew Seth still had dreams of being a cop but I did
13:09not
13:09think he would try again at mid-warsher yeah well he thinks he's catching us at a vulnerable moment
13:13he's right we need cops in the street now not in six months after the applicants finished training
13:17technically all he has to do is pass his physical and he's back in uniform the physical is not my
13:21concern it is everything else listen set has changed I know it's hard to believe but he's committed to a
13:27different path you are biased pen because you saved your life guilty as charged but he deserves a second chance
13:50okay I'm ready whatever you guys need the only way I'll even consider recommending you for reinstatement is
13:56if you pass a polygraph okay let's do it why are you refusing treatment I'm not I just saw a
14:09doctor
14:09told me I had kidney stones major ones I'm sorry I heard that pain is excruciating well while you are

14:32in a
14:37little bit Luna can I talk to you did you and your husband separate because of me what no
14:54you were something of a catalyst I'll admit to enjoying some harmless flirting but if I ever gave you
15:02the impression that I wanted anything more you absolutely gave me that impression if I had
15:08suggested over dinner that we check into a hotel you wouldn't have said no probably not you tell
15:15yourself that it's harmless but what it is is selfish doesn't matter to you what the fallout could be
15:22because you can just walk away thank God I came to my senses

23:46how about you follow me into my office stepping over here yeah what kind of things were you thinking
23:50about about changing I really like what we did the first time around I just didn't get to nail it
23:54you know right
23:58so what's the verdict well according to the polygraph you told the truth about everything
24:01which was unexpected and proves that you've made a real effort to change
24:05okay great no it's no look the fact that you knowingly let us drive into danger failed to do
24:13anything about it and then lied to protect yourself is unforgivable to the department even though I
24:20sacrificed myself to save Nolan's life what about that but does my loss count for anything honestly
24:26it's not enough even if you were to reapply to the FTO program I would have to share those test
24:31results with internal affairs wait so this this whole thing is a setup I catch 22 I lie about
24:38the fire and I fail the test I tell the truth and then you're gonna use it against me I
24:43thought you
24:43were giving me a fair shot here look I'm sorry I can see that you are genuinely trying to be
24:48a better

25:22simply
25:23things I just don't get to have anymore there are doors that I close that I'm never gonna reopen

33:07off your
33:08friends and have a drink with me instead I'll tell you my life story go for it dude okay
33:18what nothing maybe it's such a bad idea it's actually good
33:30detectives from the Pacific Division have connected our kidnappers to a bank robbery in
33:35Santa Monica they made off with over two million dollars all that explains why they were so desperate
33:39to find it and why Isaac was so determined not to tell them he took that secret to the grave
33:43which
33:43means that money's still out there hmm treasure hunt later but we would just have to give it back
33:50right that's less fun less fun
33:56the good news is that I'm alive what's the bad news well all things considered there is none
34:03the surgery was straightforward the bullet missed all your major organs thank god but this leaves us
34:10with the outstanding question is this a life lesson or a cautionary tale something tells me you
34:15already know the answer to that oh cautionary tale all day definitely a thinker and not a doer
34:21well personally I think you would have made an excellent paramedic you have more brain power than this
34:27entire hospital and just the right amount of bravery that means a lot coming from the legend that is
34:33Bailey noon and her husband's pretty cool too I told you I'll keep him you know this reminds me of
34:41a fun
34:41allegory from Plato it's much more compelling in the original agency I'm fine I'll just catch a
34:48uber you will not I will drive you to your hotel plus you promised me that we would have a
34:56chance to
34:56really talk so I am going to take you hostage until we do that's my girl for what it's worth
35:03I slammed
35:05the door in Ashton's face today figuratively disappointing like I told you before he was just a
35:16temptation nothing more but it did shake me up a bit you have to admit that our marriage has been
35:25pretty
35:25static the last few years I would have said solid but I understand what you mean I also understand now
35:35that this was more than just a new job for you it was beginning of something but my question is
35:43does
35:43our marriage have a part in this new beginning yes I just got my head turned around and I made
35:52a mess of
35:52things I want us to be healthy again I know we can't just click our heels together and make that
35:58happen we can if we do it in therapy yes I think that's exactly where we should do look how
36:10about if I take

36:51traitorous lottery neighbors have been they couldn't wait to get out of here I mean it looks
36:57like they bought you a few things on the way out though oh if they think they can talk me
37:00out of
37:01suing by buying me barbecues and ice makers they are sadly mistaken does that mean that they're up for
37:07grabs no I'm not an idiot I already sold them on eBay for a buttload okay since you're both here

38:25I did

38:46If you think you're on your own, just come home.
38:50We'll be waiting when you don't know what to do anymore.
38:55That's what we're here for.
38:56Yay!
38:59Woo!
39:00That's what we're here for.
39:06Get me a piece to eat.
39:09This just feels weird.
39:14Oh, just, that's my, okay.
39:16Yeah, they are.
39:17Well, thank you.
39:20They're about to play your speech.
39:22You want to turn on the news?
39:23No.
39:24No, I think that's in our rearview mirror now.
39:26Well, Vivian was gonna fire you anyways.
39:29Might as well speak your truth.
39:31It felt so good to cut through the noise.
39:33You know, stop playing politics.
39:36It also made me realize how little I'd accomplished at the DA's office.
39:40I mean, I tried to change the system from within,
39:42but without being the boss, without having that power, it's a losing battle.
39:45So I think I'm gonna go back to being a defense lawyer.
39:50I figured.
39:51But there are a lot of cops who are gonna feel betrayed.
39:54Like you're siding with the enemy.
39:56Well, there's only one cop whose opinion I care about.
40:00Oh.
40:01Yeah.
40:02I'm all for it.
40:03Our sex life was unreal, and we're on opposite sides.
40:06Yes, it was.
40:07Oh.
40:08Okay.
40:09Hmm.
40:10Okay.
40:11Okay.
40:14Here's the thing.
40:15I wrote the song because I think you're incredible,
40:17and because I got really excited when I realized that Selena rhymes with zebra and subpoena.
40:21Does it though?
40:22Close enough for art.
40:24Look, I'm sorry that it made you feel self-conscious,
40:27but a song is not a statement of truth.
40:29It's an opinion.
40:30I think you're the most beautiful woman in the world.
40:32That does not objectively make you that.
40:34Okay.
40:34Well, in case you haven't noticed, I am a painfully humble person.
40:38I mean, how can I not be?
40:39I'm surrounded by the most amazing people on the daily.
40:44I mean, seriously, take a look at that group of badass overachievers.
40:48Every single one of them a unicorn in their own way.
40:52And you belong right there with them.
40:55I won't be taking any arguments at this time.
41:01All the speech.
41:04Uh, everyone, if you'd gather around, it is official.
41:07Sadly, Wesley will not be the new district attorney.
41:11Ooh.
41:13That's okay.
41:14But Wesley, clearly everybody in this room is fiercely proud of you
41:18for putting yourself out there and shining a light on what is wrong with our system
41:23and the ways in which it could be fixed if we were only collectively brave enough to try.
41:28So, we raise our glasses to you.
41:30To Wesley.
41:31Woo!
41:32Yay!
41:34I can't say that it was an enjoyable experience, but man, was it memorable.
41:38We've all gone through so much together this year.
41:40Sometimes it felt like it was more than we could handle, but it wasn't.
41:44Because we had each other.
41:47Uh, it's safe to say that I have no idea what the future has in store, but I do know
41:51one thing.
41:52We won't be going through it alone.
41:54Because we're a family.
41:57So, thank you.
41:57Hear, hear.
41:58Yeah!
41:59Woo!
42:00Let's eat.
42:01Please.
42:02We'll be here.
42:03And I don't know what to do anymore.
42:06That's what we're here for.
42:11That's what we're here for.
42:19Let's do it.
42:21Let's do it.
42:36I want you to get away.
42:36Amen.
42:36Hey.
42:52Damn it.
