00:31so which one of these is your first choice whichever one i get into
00:35honestly i just grabbed a handful of brochures in the counselor's office i really didn't look at them
00:41morning sleepyhead morning what's all this bailey is helping me with my college applications before
00:46school isn't a little late in the year to be applying yeah i have analysis paralysis
00:50otherwise known as overthinking plus a well-documented procrastination disorder you
00:54know like elvis mozart and the game of thrones guy i also like to prioritize other more enjoyable
00:59interests basically i've been frozen with fear about my future and now i find myself up against
01:02it with time almost run out when is it due midnight midnight tonight i also need letters of
01:08recommendation bailey already wrote me one but i was kind of hoping that you would write me one too
01:11by tonight uh well i mean today's gonna be a little bit hectic lapd is transferring heath everett from
01:18terminal island to the courthouse downtown that's the guy who crashed the plane you were on and then
01:24escaped briefly escaped yes and it's down to us to make sure he doesn't do it again but
01:29i think we should have him round tripped by late afternoon i can write your letter then you are
01:34quite literally the best after bailey now that goes without saying wesley i know i mean seriously the
01:42contractor promised that the new offices would be repainted by friday which he also promised last
01:48week but del monte and i are moving in on monday no matter what
01:55hey morning you know this is ridiculous when i said you could keep the ring here i didn't expect
02:00you to come visit it every day okay it's not every day fine but i can't keep it at the
02:05house
02:05can risk lucy finding it well you can't keep it here anymore because emmy found it and stuck it up
02:09her nose don't worry i cleaned it okay so what do i do with it now how about give it
02:16to lucy
02:18you do have a plan for the proposal right i mean i'm cycling through options you know i i want
02:24the
02:24moment to be perfect given that the whole station knows you're going to propose you got a day
02:27two tops before lucy finds out
02:34bomb squad just finished clearing all ingress and egress routes to the courthouse
02:38and underground access points rock searched and guarded out of the preemptive strike school
02:42metro executed them early this morning we've got 20 of everett's known associates in custody
02:50right what do you think prison feels like to a guy whose whole life was luxury i mean the bathroom
02:57everett's yachts bigger than his prison cell look everett did time in the army okay he is not soft
03:01plus i will bet you anything he does not believe that he's going to remain in prison for long so
03:11wow my lawyers and yet this is just a fraction of my legal dream team i'm adding new ones every
03:20day
03:22like this guy what's your name malcolm walsh all right oh right you're the guy who uh you got the
03:30serial
03:31killer off right alleged yes sir liam glassman i mean come on that doesn't happen if i were you guys
03:40i would pack up my little pants and just go you got to be kidding me i watched you murder
03:46a man in cold
03:47blood there is an illegal team on the planet that's going to keep you from spending the rest
03:50of your life that's not why we're here today is solely about your court appearance in four hours
03:57you will be escorted to the courthouse for a preliminary hearing this will be a multi-agency
04:01escort armed to the teeth and prepared to vigorously deny any attempts to free you from custody and if
04:09anything does go wrong the doj will immediately seek to transfer you to a supermax prison while the
04:15full weight of the doj and the lapd will be brought down upon your entire legal team for collusion
04:21now i don't expect you to give a crap about that but they sure will this is outrageous
04:26if you think you can intimidate us with this dog and pony show you got another thing coming oh no
04:30no
04:30no no no no you're mistaking this conversation for a threat it is not a threat it is a promise
04:34today will go smoothly or lawyers start catching fists
04:43act accordingly
04:45see you later
04:49he's a smug best yeah but is it because he's up to something or because he's just made a privilege
04:54so i would definitely bet on the former i agree
04:59tim we're gonna go alpha level on that escort understood i'll set it in motion everett yeah day
05:05can't be over soon enough have you ever written a recommendation letter nope never now there are
05:11very few people i'd recommend for anything and the beauty of being tim bradford is people are too
05:16scared to ask right is that it yeah can i see she's gonna love it you think i do
05:30just gonna put it loose in your pocket like that yeah that box is too cumbersome to be honest
05:34i don't trust the locker room morning big day huh every day is a big day in the lapd pen
05:50good morning uh sorry to just drop by unannounced i don't like that you know where i live
05:57may i come in i have a business offer that i think you might appreciate close the door
06:03new offices will be ready next week
06:08exciting listen it's no secret that my profile has blown up since i got glasser off
06:15in fact i've just taken on heath everett as a client i'm handling the state charges so you came
06:20here to brag no to make amends deep down i know that my success is based in your misfortune
06:26and i'd like to try to balance the scales pass but thank you for your concern sergeant tim bradford
06:34is claiming that everett offered up 10 million dollars to help him escape yeah well he tried
06:38to corrupt the wrong man tim is as straight and narrow as it comes still there's no evidence
06:42to support bradford's account and given the scale of the charges against my client attempted
06:48bribery just seems petty everett feels that bradford is acting like a little bitch his words
06:56well i think everett has more to worry about than the smallest item on his charge sheet well
07:00i don't disagree but he's the client he wants it dropped you are much better positioned to persuade
07:06bradford than i am why would i say yes lawyers need clients and law offices aren't cheap
07:16look you and i both know that everett is made of money and not afraid to spend it
07:20you will be paid handsomely regardless of outcome
07:26in exactly 12 hours i will be a graduate of the fto program i think what do you mean i
07:34think
07:34nobody else has brought it up oh or what nothing what selena what it's it's just no one spoke to
07:45me
07:45about my graduation multiple times through the weeks leading up to it well he hasn't said a word
07:50to me and according to my math the six-month extension is today so why the radio silence it's
07:55been crazy around you the last few weeks maybe it just fell through the cracks well maybe he knows
08:01i'm gonna fail out so he's not wasting his time if nolan wanted to bounce you he'd just bounce you
08:06unless it's not nolan who's planning to bounce me ben turn your gear you're not going out today
08:11why does she'll be right with nolan in the escort convoy why wouldn't i be going out
08:19excuse me hey uh why are you grounding pen uh i'm not i'm reassigning him to help you
08:25you're the one i'm grounding by giving you a temporary promotion oh so you're taking my
08:30position in the escort convoy what can i say gray wants a super shop seriously this has nothing to do
08:34with lack of faith in you it's just after everything that happened with everett last time we can't risk
08:38the task force being caught by surprise okay i get it you're taking everyone capable and leaving
08:42me with the scribbs there are no scrubs in the lapd sergeant chen but i did reassign pen to help
08:48bolster your roster got a second nope don't be grumpy i would talk fast so i've been hired to be
08:56a part
08:56of uh everett's legal team just a small part focusing on the bribery charge okay what about it guy tried
09:02to
09:02bribe me and be in charge of the end of story yeah just that there's no body cam footage of
09:06the proffer
09:06so it's your word against his and everett is facing a dozen life sentences on far more serious
09:11crimes i just figured we could take this off everybody's plate there's no body cam because
09:14he turned off my feed when he tried to bribe me and i'm fine with this on my plate but
09:18if you have
09:18too much on your plate maybe you shouldn't be representing a literal war criminal okay there's
09:22no need to make this personal i'm just doing my job no it is personal because you were hired
09:25because we're friends and that friendship just ended tim you know what you're not even part of the
09:30da's office anymore so you don't have the same privileges you once had when we were fighting the same
09:33fight so from here on out you're required to go sign in and get a visitor's badge like everyone else
09:38now get the hell out of here understood
09:44oh i have a quick question because i didn't see it in the file did you fingerprint your body cam
09:47just so there's proof that it was everett that cut the feed otherwise how's the jury going to know
09:53if this attempted bribe was offered by him or solicited by you and rejected
10:01i look forward to answering all your questions in deposition counselor
10:06okay
10:48i appreciate you coming off the injured list to help out today
10:50i was scheduled for return next week anyway get you to get back into some trouble trouble
10:55let's make sure we don't find any today okay yes sir
10:59i know i was skeptical but this mobile watch command office is pretty damn sexy
11:04i guess it'll be yours soon enough the task force ending i assume you want your job back
11:09close enough the task force is going to take months after that i'm not sure what my next move is
11:15that's you asking me to step in while you're planning the wedding in that case i'm happy to help
11:19out does everyone in the station know i'm going to propose
11:21hopefully three separate sources great which means you got to pop the question
11:25they sound
11:28so what's the plan
11:31there is no plan look i don't want some big instagram ready production i'll find the right
11:37moment and i'll ask tim this is the story you're going to tell your grandchildren
11:42you can't wing it and hope for the best
11:44how did you propose to live
11:46we were just kids when we got together so i took her to the beach gave her a ring so
11:50small
11:50it could have came from my crackerjack box i've seen her ring it's huge a series of upgrades over
11:56the years my friend the point is it doesn't have to be flashy but it does have to be thoughtful
12:03lucy does love the beach the waves remind her how we're all interconnected
12:07sure and also it's pretty at sunset
12:12all right he almost to the bridge
12:13it's because i'm not lying
12:18deep inside

18:56on a phone call, specifically whether Demetrius was ready.
19:02That's all I know.
19:03And now, I'm leaving.
19:1310 bucks, he just pulled that name out of his ass.
19:15I don't know.
19:16He's rattled.
19:19There's a chance he might be for real.
19:22Come on.
19:42You got him?
19:43Yeah.
19:44Yeah.
19:44Gun!
19:46Got the gun?
19:47Got the gun!
19:48Got it!
19:49Got it!
19:49Got it!
19:49Requesting RAs to Mid-Wilshire Station, multiple GSW victims.
19:53Penn, are you okay?
19:54Yes, ma'am.
19:55Okay, good.
19:57You want to tell me how the hell a gun got in here?
20:00Uh-uh.
20:02Was Tim upset we didn't find the ring?
20:04Yeah, but once I told him we found a piece of Everett surveillance drone, he agreed getting
20:09it to Tech Squad was the priority.
20:13Hey, I have not written the recommendation letter yet.
20:17Oh, it's fine.
20:17I saw the news and you're kind of living in a Dwayne Johnson movie right now.
20:20So I took the liberty of writing it myself.
20:22All you have to do is sign it.
20:24Oh, I don't know if I'm comfortable with that.
20:26I mean, it's my letter.
20:27I should write it.
20:28Are you sure?
20:29Because drone magnet helicopter escape is trending right now.
20:32You know what?
20:33Speaking of, can you confirm that these are pieces of a drone?
20:37Uh, yeah.
20:38That's the guts.
20:39It's flight controls, image stabilizer, GPS.
20:42Can we use that to figure out where it launched from?
20:45It's kind of what GPS is for.
20:46All right, you know what?
20:47Your hurtful sarcasm is going to be noted in my recommendation letter.
20:51You're too sensitive.
20:52Remember, at midnight my college career turns into a pumpkin.
20:55Good luck.
20:56Got it.
21:02Every criminal that passes through that door needs to be thoroughly searched for contraband
21:07and weapons.
21:08First by the arresting officer and then by processing.
21:11I know.
21:11And I did.
21:12So then how did Bledsoe end up with a gun inside a holding cell?
21:15Did you deviate from normal pat-down procedures?
21:18No.
21:18But he was combative.
21:20It took two of us to control him.
21:21So it's possible you missed a gun?
21:24No.
21:24I searched him thoroughly after he was restrained.
21:26I did!
21:27So then how did this happen?
21:28I don't know.
21:29I can pull the security footage.
21:30No, Harper's handling that.
21:32You're sidelined until we get this sorted out.
21:37Yes, ma'am.
21:39You mean the word on Hall and the prisoner Bledsoe shot?
21:43Hall is in surgery.
21:44And the prisoner died in the ambulance.
22:00All right, everybody.
22:00Listen up.
22:01GPS from the drone that Nolan and Watt has found on the bridge shows it at launch from
22:05the Port of Los Angeles.
22:06Now we've connected it to an international maritime company, Demetrius LLC.
22:10They have a fleet of three dozen boats currently operating on the west coast.
22:14One of which is a decommissioned military transport ship that is departing imminently from the
22:19Port of San Diego.
22:20Now we believe that Heath Everett is on that boat.
22:22Satellite imagery shows at least three dozen private soldiers along with equipment,
22:27vehicles, and weaponry have been loaded on board in the last hour.
22:30Now given Everett's deep ties inside the DoD, we have to assume that any effort to go through
22:34normal channels to coordinate a larger raid would risk alerting them.
22:37Therefore, we are going it alone.
22:38Small strike force will gain covert access onto the boat, locate, recapture Everett,
22:43and then get the hell out of there.
22:44Without starting a shooting war with a superior force.
22:46Exactly.
22:47How big is the boat?
22:48Bigger than I'd like.
22:50She's 800 feet bow to stern.
22:51Has four cargo decks, three crew decks, a bridge, and an engine room.
22:56So, it'll take a while to search.
22:58But on the plus side, it'll spread out their manpower in case our little stealth mission gets noisy.
23:15What are you doing here?
23:16Coming with.
23:17You're gonna need a medic, and I'm not taking no for an answer.
23:24Now, best guess, Everett will be staying here.
23:27Level three.
23:27It's on the upper deck.
23:28It's where the captain's quarters are located.
23:30But he could be in the officer's dining room, two decks below.
23:33Bottom line, we need to be prepared to search multiple areas.
23:36So, we'll split into three teams.
23:38Team one, we'll cover the top decks.
23:39Team two, the cargo decks.
23:41Team three, we'll head to the engine room to disable the ship.
23:43So, they can't come after us once we leave.
23:45Correct.
23:46Now, I wish I had better operational intel to give you, but if we don't get going right now, we're
23:50gonna lose him.
23:50Given his infinite resources, we may never get another opportunity to get him back.
23:54So, any last questions?
23:55Yeah.
23:55Who's buying beers when we're done?
23:59You know, real men don't need their wives to do their camo makeup.
24:03Oh, shush.
24:04Hey, this doesn't seem real.
24:06But it is.
24:07The situation might be unique, but the moves are the same.
24:11It's tactical infill.
24:11We search and clear rooms the exact same way.
24:14Communicate and coordinate every action we take.
24:15What are the odds we find Everett in the first place we look?
24:18Non-existent.
24:21You really aren't that glass half full kind of guy, are you?
24:25I'm a realist.
24:26Okay, realist.
24:27What are the odds we even pull this thing off?
24:30Let's get going.
24:32Why can't you just lie?
24:59You have to be Here.
26:51No effort.
29:33We're right back.
30:05Get on the ground.
31:16We're right back.
35:28We're right back.
36:14We're right back.
37:13We're right back.
