00:44Guys, we got blood here.
00:47Adam 300, requesting additional units.
00:49Copy that, Adam 300.
00:50Additional units in row.
00:52Yep.
00:54Falling your way
00:55through the sky
01:06No!
01:07Easy. Easy.
01:08I got you.
01:09Get the med kit.

01:12multiple stab wounds.
01:13It'll be all right.
01:14We have an ambulance on the way.
01:19Jordan.
01:20Jordan?
01:20Is that who hurt you?
01:31Adam 300, be advised
01:33that man in the vault.
01:37You're dehydrated.
01:53Control, we have another victim in a van.
01:56Do you need this?
01:58Send it down and then stay away.
02:18Hey, I'm sorry for inviting myself over like this.
02:20No, no, no, no.
02:21James has the school run this morning,
02:23so I'm all good.
02:25Jomi.
02:27So, Jordan Sharp, Courtney Sutton.
02:29Best friends since Palm's Middle School.
02:31No criminal records,
02:32no fixed address.
02:33Jordan's parents say
02:34that they were taking a year off
02:35to do the whole van life thing,
02:36trying to chart a path post-college.
02:37Is there an early theory
02:38on why they were brutalized?
02:39According to Border Control,
02:41they were going back and forth
02:42to Baja, Mexico
02:43six times just this year.
02:45So, drugs, meals.
02:46Yeah.
02:47Pretty girls with clean records.
02:48That is a cartel's dream.
02:50Border Patrol just waves them through.
02:52Yeah, I mean, young women like this
02:53with the confidence
02:54to just go out into the world
02:55and deal with whatever it hands them,
02:57they're usually pretty naive about the world.
02:59I know I was.
03:01Hold up.
03:01You were hashtag van life.
03:03I dropped out of grad school
03:05and took a little bit of time to find myself.
03:08I spent nine months showering outdoors
03:09and eating roadside burritos.
03:10Oh, okay.
03:11We're going to put a pin in that conversation.
03:13Any clue on who they could be mewling for?
03:16You know, their social media posts,
03:17um, where is it?
03:19Yeah, okay.
03:20It said that they spent a lot of time
03:22in Scorpion Bay.
03:23That is Costa Sangres territory.
03:25Now, that explains the brutality of the murders.
03:28Cartel was trying to send a message.
03:29I mean, but why?
03:30It could be a dozen reasons.
03:31They screwed up, they stole,
03:33they were in the wrong place at the wrong time.
03:36My love, defensive wounds like this,
03:38they fought like hell to survive.
03:40I mean, the last thing Courtney did
03:41was try to just get her friend help.
03:45I know they made mistakes,
03:46but they did not deserve to die like this.
03:47This is crazy.
03:48No, they didn't.
03:51I want in on this.
03:53Now?
03:55And you charged your headphones?
03:56Yes.
03:57And you remembered to pack everything?
03:58Yep.
03:59Your night guard?
04:00Nope.
04:01Oh, gosh.
04:04And contact lens solution.
04:06Dang it!
04:09How did you know exactly what I'd forget?
04:12You've never once remembered in all our travels.
04:14Really?
04:14Yeah, I've learned to ask for a contact lens solution
04:16in four languages.
04:18Are you going to do okay?
04:19I'm fine.
04:20We are going to be fine.
04:22We're going to be better than fine.
04:24This is a trial run.
04:25It's five days.
04:26I'm going to go look for an apartment,
04:28meet the new team.
04:28I'm now moving, moving until the end of the month.
04:33Oh, the car is here.
04:35I've got to go.
04:36I love you.
04:38I love you.
04:41Go.
04:42Okay.
04:43Bye.
04:43Bye.
04:49Now, it's a non-starter.
04:51Look, you want to call down the wrath of God
04:52and Costa Sangre in L.A.?
04:53I'm all in.
04:54But an undercover op with Lucy in Mexico?
04:56Forget it.
04:57We've got no jurisdiction.
04:57T.I.D. found a cigarette pack
04:59in the weeds under the van.
05:01Mexican packaging.
05:02And the girls don't smoke.
05:03Finding a pack of Mexican cigarettes in L.A.
05:05is not out of the ordinary.
05:06Yeah, but there are other key forensics
05:07that also point to Mexico.
05:09And the murders were gruesome,
05:10even for the cartel.
05:11If that was done by a local,
05:13the streets would be buzzing,
05:14and I have heard nothing.
05:16I don't need your buy-in.
05:19I need your support to go to gray.
05:21I hear the Monica task force
05:22is targeting Costa Sangre's boss,
05:24Rogelio Zambada.
05:25Those women were low-level drug mules.
05:27You're going to have to climb
05:28two miles of food chain
05:29to get to Zambada.
05:30And why isn't Lucy here with you?
05:32Push her for this.
05:32She wants this approved on its merits
05:34without the girlfriend factor.
05:36But she will use it
05:37if you say no to me.
05:39And you heard back from I.A.?
05:42I got my notice of intent,
05:44but the hearing has not been scheduled.
05:45And if you are implying
05:47that I am using this
05:48as a way to delay my showdown
05:50with internal affairs...
05:51No, I'm wondering
05:52why you're spearheading the mission
05:53when you made it very clear
05:54over the last four years
05:55that you were done
05:56with long-term undercover work
05:57after it pretty much
05:58destroyed your life.
06:00When I was working undercover
06:02with the cartels,
06:02I knew so many girls
06:04that either ended up
06:05missing or dead,
06:07and nobody cared.
06:08If I.A. takes my badge,
06:09at least I know
06:10that I spent the last of my time here
06:12trying to get justice
06:13for these two women.
06:18Okay.
06:19That's my answer.
06:20So you'll support us
06:21going to the task force?
06:22Yeah.
06:23And?
06:24And I will find the resources
06:25to cover it.
06:26But none of this matters
06:27if Grace says...
06:28No.
06:28Zimbab is not a front-bringer target.
06:30And even if I believe
06:31that you had a shot
06:32of getting close to him,
06:33Garza's not going to divert focus
06:35from our current targets.
06:36He will if you ask him.
06:38Sir.
06:39If you don't say yes,
06:40we both know
06:42that these murders
06:42will go unsolved.
06:43Careful, Sergeant.
06:44I've seen plenty of tragedy
06:45on this job.
06:46I don't need a lecture
06:47on justice.
06:51With all due respect,
06:53sir,
06:55you've never been
06:56these girls.
06:57You have never experienced
06:58the particular type of pain
07:00and fear that they went through.
07:02How brave they had to be
07:03to go out into the world
07:04knowing how treacherous it is
07:05simply because they're female.
07:07And yeah,
07:07how that bravery
07:08and naivety
07:09caused them to be
07:10vulnerable to the cartel.
07:12I'm not excusing
07:13their criminality.
07:14I just...
07:17It shouldn't have
07:18cost them their lives.
07:20When you're looking back
07:22on your deathbed,
07:23you...
07:24No.
07:25Sorry.
07:27Sir, the politics
07:28and the bureaucracy
07:29of this will not matter.
07:31What will matter
07:31is that
07:32you stood up
07:34for these women.
07:38Well,
07:40so much
07:40for not lecturing me.
07:42Okay.
07:43Let's say I'm on board.
07:44What's this going to cost
07:45the task force?
07:46Very little.
07:47Tim can get us the funding
07:48and the physical resources.
07:49The only thing we need
07:50is one FBI agent
07:51to give the op legitimacy
07:53with the Mexican government,
07:54preferably someone
07:55who speaks Spanish.
08:02What?
08:03So, Bailey on her way
08:03to D.C.?
08:04Yeah, her flight
08:05left 20 minutes ago.
08:06You won't mind
08:07if I loan you to Lopez
08:08for a surveillance assignment?
08:09No, whatever she needs.
08:10We're good.
08:10You want to fill him in?
08:11Sure.
08:13Man of the hour
08:14is Keyshawn DeMarco,
08:16otherwise known as Hamster,
08:17but don't let the cute nickname
08:18fool you.
08:19Keyshawn has an affinity
08:20for brute force trauma
08:21that he's parlayed
08:22into a growing
08:23leg-breaking business.
08:24Last week,
08:24you saw the two witnesses
08:25in a RICO case I'm trying.
08:26Almost caused a mistrial.
08:27We have a warrant
08:28for his arrest,
08:28but he's gone off the grid.
08:30I got round-the-clock surveillance
08:31authorized on several
08:32of his haunts.
08:33I need you and your rookie
08:34to post up
08:34outside his baby mama's house,
08:36Kennedy Stowe.
08:38Whoa.
08:39Try not to let
08:40the impressive front porch
08:41distract you from the fact
08:42that Kennedy threw a classmate
08:43through a window
08:44in high school.
08:44She's hot and dangerous.
08:46Officer Penn,
08:47this assignment could last
08:48until you're scheduled
08:48to graduate the FTO program.
08:50You'll be under a microscope
08:51until it's complete.
08:52Yes, sir.
08:52I won't let you know.
09:00Six hours.
09:01No one's coming or out.
09:02Well, if Hamster
09:03was easy to find,
09:04Lopez wouldn't have
09:05half the station on it.
09:10You know,
09:11quit looking for
09:11the hot mama sighting
09:12and why did you focus
09:14a little bit?
09:15We'll give your eyes a rest
09:16and you'll learn
09:17about the neighborhood.
09:21It's a roll call.
09:22It looks like random
09:23letters and numbers,
09:24but it's a list
09:24of gang members.
09:26The numbers stand
09:26for letters and alphabet.
09:28Exactly.
09:29Simple code,
09:30but it can give you
09:30a lot of information.
09:31Most of the numbers
09:32up there are 14 and 2.
09:3414 for N,
09:36toque for B
09:37means no whole boys.
09:38Hamsters gang.
09:39Exactly.
09:40Means he feels safe here.
09:41He feels easy
09:41amongst friends.
09:42So he'll be back.
09:46And sugar line
09:48are new things.
09:50Like if you saw
09:51Misty Farman
09:51packing up the kids
09:52and take to her mothers,
09:54and then her husband
09:54Carl was dealing again.
09:56But it's different here.
09:58Something's going on
09:59at once.
10:00I feel like
10:01I'm running behind.
10:03I keep thinking
10:04I should hit
10:04some neighborhood hangouts
10:05in my office.
10:06You know,
10:07keep a low profile
10:07and get a better feel
10:08for what's going on.
10:09Okay,
10:10that's a bad idea.
10:11Not only is it
10:11inherently unsafe,
10:12but it's against regulations.
10:14Don't go policing
10:14in your off-duty hours.
10:18All right.
10:19We'll leave this here.
10:20I'll do a deep dive
10:21into the old boy
10:22database tonight.
10:23Great.
10:23I'm gonna make
10:24cheese steak
10:24and watch Commando.
10:25Two things Bailey hates.
10:28El Mesquital campsite.
10:30This is where Courtney
10:30and Jordan
10:31spent their time in Baja.
10:32I pulled previous
10:33satellite imagery
10:34for the last six months.
10:35There's obviously
10:36a lot of camper turnover,
10:37but a few of the vehicles
10:38have been there
10:39the whole time.
10:39Understood.
10:41Receipts from Jordan's van
10:42showed that they bought
10:43Ozempic from a local
10:44farmacia and sold it
10:45across the border
10:45for a hefty profit.
10:46We think this is how
10:47the cartel targeted them
10:48as potential mules.
10:49So we'll follow
10:50in their footsteps.
10:51Hopefully they'll see us
10:51as equally easy targets.
10:52Great.
10:53Let's talk undercover personas.
10:54The Bureau of Cyber Unit
10:56has the ability
10:56to launch social media pages
10:58for each of you
10:58that appear to go back
10:59over several years.
11:00And they will hold up
11:01to a metadata check?
11:02Yeah.
11:03Score.
11:03All right.
11:04So I have one.
11:05My name is Shia Sun,
11:07but I go by Shia.
11:08I was born in Chicago.
11:09I went to Kansas City Art Institute
11:11where I got a degree
11:12in fiber arts.
11:23I sold a couple of pieces,
11:24but I realized that there
11:25wasn't much money to be had
11:27in textile sculpture.
11:29I met the love of my life
11:30two years ago,
11:31and we've been joined
11:32at the hip ever since.
11:33And I am that love
11:35of her life, Avery Reed.
11:36I was raised in Alaska,
11:38but hated every frigid
11:39moment of it.
11:40So I left and went to California
11:43at the age of 18
11:43and never looked back.
11:48We wake up with the sun
11:51in our eyes.
11:53No surprise that we get
11:55so much done.
11:57But we always, yes, we always,
11:59we always have fun.
12:01Yes, we always, yes, we always,
12:04we always have fun.
12:04Surfing is my passion.
12:06I work odd jobs,
12:07but never really wanted a career.
12:09I just want enough cash
12:10to chase the endless summer.
12:16It'll be four weeks,
12:19minimum.
12:20I don't know.
12:21You just moved in.
12:23It's like you're already
12:24moving out.
12:24You could think of it
12:25as an excuse
12:27to play video games
12:28at full volume
12:29all weekend.
12:30Okay, you make my life
12:31sound so empty.
12:32No, no, no, no.
12:33Okay, okay.
12:34How about this?
12:35The longer I'm gone,
12:37the happier you'll be
12:38when I come back.
12:40Hmm?
12:41Yeah.
12:47Hey, sweetie.
12:48Mommy's got to go now.
12:50Okay.
12:51Leah.
12:51Yes?
12:52Remember, Mommy said
12:53I was going to have to leave
12:54for a little while.
12:55You'll be back?
12:56I will be back, yes,
12:58as soon as I can, okay?
12:59Okay.
13:00I love you.
13:01I love you.
13:05Mommy, would you please?
13:07Okay.
13:11What are you trying?
13:12One.
13:14Hey.
13:16Get the van
13:17this guy stopped
13:17and ready to go.
13:20Okay, let's do this.
13:22I'll let you guys
13:23say goodbye.
13:29I want you to know
13:29it is a tribute
13:30to your excellent mothering
13:32that she is so secure.
13:35Okay.
13:36You got this.
13:37Okay.
13:38Come on.
13:39Love you.
13:40I love you, too.
13:44All right, come on.
13:52I know, I know.
13:55It'll be worth it.
13:56Okay.
13:59You ready?
14:00Yeah.
14:10Lord, I wish we had
14:10something to do.
14:11I...
14:12You keep drinking
14:12all that coffee,
14:13you'll have something
14:14to do, all right.
14:15Why are you so tired,
14:16anyway?
14:17I've been up nights,
14:18studying,
14:19trying to get inside
14:20Hamster's world.
14:22This could be him.
14:27715 possible
14:28suspect sighting
14:29sent back up
14:30to 3200 Falk Drive.
14:35That's him.
14:36Let him get inside.
14:38Help!
14:40Stop!
14:41We're going to tell the PD!
14:42He's running!
14:45715 put in fuel
14:46for pursuit
14:47eastbound
14:47over Fitz
14:48by 3200 Falk Drive.
14:49Suspect calling Black.
15:01Suspect heading southward
15:02Santa Monica Boulevard.
15:03East!
15:05Try getting busy.
15:07Suspect entering
15:07these little car wars.
15:08from the
15:32roads.
15:36Where'd he go?
15:37How the hell should I know?
15:38You're the one who had eyes on him.
15:39I don't know how I lost him.
15:40He was right in front of me, didn't I?
15:41Why did you go in after him?
15:42You should have just held the perimeter on the backside.
15:45No, I'm sorry.
15:45I'm sorry.
15:46All right, Jen, you guys, backtrack where we came from.
15:48See if you can track him down.
15:49You guys circle around the backside of the building.
15:50I'm going to wait out here on the front.
15:52Set that at 15.
15:53Recruit for a suspect unaccounted for.
15:55Get in the car, Bubbles.
15:59Forget police tactics.
16:00It's a failure of common sense.
16:02Yes, sir.
16:02There's no excuse.
16:04Maybe if you hadn't been burning the midnight oil
16:06playing no-hole catch-up,
16:07you could have focused better.
16:08Now Hamster knows we're up in his spots.
16:10He's going to burrow deeper underground.
16:12I should ask Harper to keep an eye out for him
16:14in case he makes a run for Mexico.
16:24Man, I used to love this.
16:27Heading into the great unknown
16:28after I bailed on grad school.
16:30Suddenly it was like anything could happen.
16:32Life was just pure possibility.
16:34Why did you drop out?
16:38Okay, so one day I was talking to a professor
16:41about career paths
16:42and suddenly my heart just started beating so fast.
16:45I couldn't breathe.
16:46I had no idea what was going on.
16:47You were having a panic attack.
16:48It felt like somebody had turned the lights on
16:51and I could see all of my choices in this entire chain.
16:55And at the start, my parents were just acting like if I didn't get an advanced degree,
16:59I would end up homeless.
17:00So two Dr. Chans weren't enough?
17:02They wanted three?
17:02Five.
17:03Yeah, actually, my dad's parents were doctors too.
17:05Really?
17:06Anyways, that panic attack made me realize that I hadn't ever really made a choice for myself.
17:12I was just always doing what they wanted.
17:13And so, yeah, I bailed.
17:16Yeah, you know, I had issues with my parents, but they always only ever wanted me to be me.
17:20And all I wanted was to be a cop.
17:27You know, Nyla, I know about the IA investigation.
17:31If you want to.
17:33Yeah, that is Nyla's business.
17:35You know what Avery is focused on?
17:38Six wells and cold beers.
17:40Yes.
17:41And finding the next song in our perfect road trip playlist.
18:00You're ready, Avery?
18:02Ready, Shy.
18:06Oh, wow.
18:07So nice here.
18:09Why haven't we come here before?
18:11Hey, new faces.
18:12I like it.
18:13I'm Chase.
18:14Hi, Avery.
18:16She's Shy.
18:17Shy?
18:18Hope not.
18:20Hey, what brings you to Baja?
18:22Um, hello.
18:23I mean, it's gorgeous.
18:25I thought you said we'll be able to hear them.
18:28One sec.
18:29Shock and mic needs fine tuning.
18:30We came to the right place.
18:31Perfect beach way.
18:33Do you, sir?
18:34Yeah, mostly I fall.
18:36But keep trying, though.
18:37War is checking.
18:38You know, when I volunteered for this, I thought I was going to be Nolan and Bailey in Prague.
18:43Not me in a ditch fighting a losing battle against bugs and snakes.
18:48Yeah, well, you should have read the fine print.
18:51Yeah.
18:51So anyway, it's a pretty chill group.
18:53But if anyone gives you trouble, just let me know.
18:55We will.
18:57Oh, we do a drum circle by the fire every night.
18:59You should join.
19:00Great.
19:03That sounds fun.
19:05Really?
19:06I mean, for Avery.
19:07You're going to hate it.
19:08Yeah, I am.
19:13Dude, I am too close to graduation to mess up this badly.
19:16I got to make it right.
19:18By doubling down on your screw-up?
19:21Trust me.
19:21I am the poster child for that kind of behavior.
19:24And that, that is the wrong way to go.
19:27Just own your mistake.
19:30Save going rogue until it's harder to get fired for it.
19:33Rogue?
19:33It's not going rogue.
19:34It's kind of going rogue.
19:35It's just some unpaid OT watching a baby mama all night.
19:38What's in it for me?
19:39Other than the satisfaction of helping a friend.
19:41Okay.
19:42If something comes from it, I'll cut you without the credit.
19:45It'll help smooth your path back into the FTO program.
19:48And, uh, what if it all goes wrong?
19:50Then you'll never do it.
19:52Easy.
19:55Okay.
19:56Cheers.
19:57Cheers.
20:07That's the house.
20:08You really think this guy Hamster's going to be coming back?
20:11Nope.
20:12I'm hoping she'll get a late-night boot of car and lead us straight to him.
20:21Hang that dream up, too dry.
20:27Get those streams up or die.
20:34Giddy-up now, we gotta go.
20:37Why?
20:43Giddy-up now, we gotta go.
20:46Why?
20:53I can't sleep.
20:55Yeah, me neither.
20:56You did this for fun for nine months.
20:58Uh, worse.
20:59I lived in a hatchback, so I actually had to pitch a tent every single night.
21:04You know, James wants to go on a family camping trip, and I am just not sure that our marriage
21:08can survive that.
21:09Well, after everything you guys went through last year, I feel like you guys are pretty
21:13battle-tested.
21:14Yeah.
21:15You know, I was still scared to tell James that I screwed up so badly with the Glasser case.
21:22Did he lecture you about policing?
21:24No, worse.
21:25He was completely on my side.
21:27Me, you wanted to fight?
21:29James.
21:30You know, it's easier to defend yourself if you're being attacked, but there is no defending,
21:35telling someone you're going to hang the case around their neck when you have no evidence.
21:41Not like he's a serial killer.
21:42Yeah, and he might get away with it, because I let my emotions get in the way.
21:48Wesley's got this.
21:49Uh-oh.
21:51Glasser's going to prison for a very long time.
21:54I hope so.
22:03I think I'm getting a good at this.
22:04You actually do look like you know what you're doing, and you would be really good at this.
22:11Who is this guy?
22:14You know, I might keep my Etsy shop open when this is done.
22:17I think jewelry making is good for my mental health.
22:21Well, it looks like we might have a nibble.
22:24Hola, pretty ladies.
22:25Como estas?
22:27Bien, bien.
22:28Your girls are new at the campsite, right?
22:30Uh, yeah.
22:30Are you just getting this?
22:31I am a little bit shy.
22:33I don't recognize them from the campsite.
22:35Shia.
22:35It's a big cartel.
22:36Yeah, it's short for Shia.
22:38Shia, it's Chinese.
22:40Cool.
22:41This jewelry is beautiful.
22:43Do you sell those?
22:44Mostly up north.
22:45There's a farmer's market in Malibu.
22:47Lots of rich people out there to buy from you, right?
22:49Yeah.
22:52Rafael Rafa Navarro, mid-level lieutenant for Costa Sangre.
22:57Did I see you girls last week at the Farmacenta?
23:00It's possible we were over there.
23:03Huh.
23:04Maybe jewelry is not the only thing you sell to reach ladies in Malibu.
23:09Listen, we're not doing anything wrong.
23:11No, of course not.
23:12We're all allowed to earn a living, right?
23:13It's your time, your effort, your ability to buy a cheap authentic here and sell it for
23:17three times as much in the States.
23:20Look, to be honest, I do the same thing.
23:23Come on, everyone here does it.
23:27Only that I can make it across the border this week.
23:33Will you girls be interested in taking my shopping with you?
23:37Come on, I can even have a friend meet you to collect the farm.
23:39I don't know, I mean, we just do it to afford our lifestyle.
23:43Of course, yes, and I'll be more than happy to contribute.
23:46Let's say $1,500 U.S.
23:51Hmm?
23:52Come on.
23:55We could get that laser welder.
23:57Yeah.
24:00Yeah.
24:00Yeah.
24:02Okay.
24:03Excellent, excellent.
24:07See, I told you.
24:08Nothing illegal, just some local low-priced medicine to yourself.
24:13There is a number in the box.
24:14Just call it when you land in Los Angeles and my friend come pick it up.
24:20Bye, girls.
24:21Hey.
24:24Did you see the...
24:26Cigarettes?
24:26Yeah.
24:27You think he's the one that killed Jordan and Courtney?
24:30Could be.
24:31Maybe they tried to break free, but he couldn't take the risk.
24:34They told someone and blow up his whole operation.
24:36All right, let's get moving.
24:38We'll coordinate a hand-off surveillance with Tim on the way.
24:40I have an insomnia that doesn't let me leave.
24:43I just don't take care of anything.
24:45I have an insomnia since I opened the TV.
24:48Nothing new in the movies.
24:49I change my control.
24:50My notes, I put on the same channel.
24:52With the same smile, I suppose I just have to kill her.
25:01Not a word.
25:02I would never.
25:04Oh, but Tim?
25:08I hate you.
25:09I know.
25:14This is Elf, you're in there, landing.
25:15Copy.
25:16Harper and Lucia are landing.
25:24Here we go.
25:28They're being filmed in the blue SUV.
25:31Copy.
25:32Alpha unit says the swap's being filmed by the blue SUV.
25:35Silver sedan is exiting the parking lot.
25:38Follow units, they're all yours.
25:44Welcome to Astro Burger.
25:45Can I take your order?
25:47No, but I've got something else you can take.
25:49I'm a sucker for a man in uniform.
25:51Easy.
25:51Go on to the guys that you gave Rafa's drugs to
25:53and the blue car recording the exchange.
25:55To blackmail us.
25:56That means we'll be making the trip to the hardcore drugs nice.
25:59Any clarity on who killed Jordan and Courtney?
26:01Maybe.
26:02Our cartel contact smokes the brand we found at the murder scene.
26:06That's pretty weak.
26:07Yeah, I know.
26:08All right, back to it.
26:10That'll be 1070.
26:14See you soon.
26:15I'll be here.
26:23Miles.
26:24It's been two weeks, man.
26:26How much longer are we going to do this?
26:28You're already going above and beyond.
26:31You can tap out of your talent.
26:33I'm not going to leave you out here alone.
26:35But this has got to be last night.
26:38Dude, you're exhausted.
26:41You're pulling double duty.
26:42The last thing that you want to have happen
26:43is things go sideways on the job
26:45because you're a zombie.
26:48You're right.
26:49And I appreciate you for looking out.
26:52Don't get me wrong.
26:53This has been really fun.
26:56I'm feeling relevant again in the whole thing.
26:59That being said, I got to pee.
27:00You want anything over 7-Eleven?
27:02God, no.
27:13Come on, man.
27:14Where you at?
27:23You spying on my girl?
27:25No, man.
27:26I'm just looking for bats.
27:29But it's not a problem.
27:30I'll just dip.
27:31Who dumb do you think I am?
27:32They're the cop that chased me through the car wash.
27:35Get your ass help me.
27:37Reach for a piece.
27:37They'll be picking brains out of your poultry for weeks.
27:39All right.
27:40All right.
27:46Where's your gun?
27:47It's on my jacket.
27:49Take it off the holster.
27:50Load it into the gutter.
27:51Carefully.
27:52I can't leave a loaded gun on the street.
27:54It's that I'll leave it there attached to your dead body.
28:01Now your phone.
28:08We're gonna go for a little ride.
28:10What are you doing?
28:12Getting rid of your problem.
28:12You can't kill a cop.
28:14Is he really dead if he never found a body?
28:15Baby, you just can't.
28:16This is crazy.
28:18This is crazy.
28:18Stop arguing.
28:32Seth, what's going on?
28:33Miles is in trouble.
28:35Where is he?
28:36Outside of Kennedy's house.
28:37Jameson came back and he's got Miles.
28:38What is he doing at Kennedy's house?
28:40What are you doing there?
28:41Never mind.
28:42Just...
28:43I'm on my way.
28:44Do not engage.
28:48This is Officer John Nolan.
28:50I'm calling to report a kidnapping in progress.
28:52Go back in the house, girl.
28:53You called me out here.
28:54What do you think was gonna happen?
28:55Baby, this is crazy.
28:56Stop arguing.
28:57I'll call you in a couple weeks when the heat dies now.
28:59Let me kiss.
29:06You got your cuffs on you?
29:08Yeah.
29:09Cuff yourself.
29:12He's smart here, Keyshawn.
29:13Killing a cop ain't it.
29:14Get in.
29:15Slot across.
29:16Say another word.
29:16I knock out your fronts.
29:23Hurry your ass up, man.
29:24You got your cuffs on you.
29:58Okay, you got him?
29:59The baby mama's in on it.
30:01Let's get you out of here.
30:07You okay?
30:08Yeah, man, you saved my life.
30:09No problem, man.
30:10In our unit, the in-progress kidnapping were code four.
30:13You all right?
30:14He got his bell rung.
30:15Nothing life's right.
30:16Good.
30:16I'll have to wait to yell at him.
30:19Sir, I...
30:19Shut up.
30:20You were doing off-the-book surveillance on a violent felon,
30:22and you brought Ridley?
30:23A civilian?
30:23No one's talking to you.
30:25Go to the hospital, get checked out.
30:27When you're finished, you get back to the station
30:29and clean out your locker.
30:30You're done.
30:33What were you thinking?
30:56Hey, that was a quick turnaround.
31:00No, when paradise calls.
31:02Baja's like a siren sign.
31:03That's what I always say.
31:04And I am back in the ditch.
31:09How long do you think before Rafa makes contact again?
31:12A day or two.
31:14Oh, no.
31:15Heads up.
31:17Yeah, I see him.
31:20Hey, um, go watch out for that guy.
31:22Bad news.
31:23Hey, take a walk.
31:25Gotta talk to the girls.
31:26No problem.
31:28Come on, girls.
31:29Go.
31:32Welcome back.
31:34Hmm?
31:34Any trouble?
31:35No.
31:36It was good.
31:37Glad to hear it.
31:39I need you to make another run.
31:41Right now, in a bigger package.
31:43Um, good thanks, but no thanks.
31:46That was a one-time thing.
31:47I mean, we're set now.
31:48Wrong.
31:49Unless you want LAPD to see this.
31:51The girls work for me now.
31:53You wouldn't do that.
31:54Those are your men.
31:55They're expandable.
31:56Got a dozen more waiting in the wings.
31:59No, we can't.
32:01It's no different the last time you'll get way through the border and meet my guys in L.A.
32:05Okay, but there has to be a better way.
32:07No, no.
32:07There's no better way.
32:08There's no other way.
32:09Open up the back.
32:12Look at this.
32:13Remember how I said there were a few vehicles that never left the campsite?
32:16When we landed here, I asked Border Control to run all the license plates, and Rafa didn't kill the girls.
32:21This was taken three hours after we found Jordyn and Courtney's bodies.
32:25Chase was crossing back into Mexico.
32:27All right, you know what?
32:27That's enough.
32:28Get your ass in gear.
32:29We're going to follow you to the border to make sure you don't chicken out.
32:33What are you doing?
32:34I'm talking to you.
32:35Hi, Dad.
32:36I, um...
32:37Daughter.
32:37Chase killed Jordan and Courtney.
32:40How do you want to play this?
32:41Give me a minute.
32:44Let me just talk to my girlfriend for one second, and we will go after that, okay?
32:49Hey!
32:54Chase killed the girls.
32:55What?
32:55He must be working for a cartel.
32:57Maybe Rafa.
32:59I say we hold on arresting him and make the drug run to L.A.
33:04What?
33:04No.
33:04This is a major weight, which will make for a bigger arrest on the other side.
33:08No, Nyla.
33:10The whole point of us coming down here was to get those two women justice.
33:14It is the only thing that matters.
33:16Right?
33:17You're right.
33:18You're right.
33:19I'm sorry.
33:20I don't apologize.
33:21I got you.
33:22Okay?
33:25Come on.
33:26Hey, let's go.
33:27Hurry up.
33:27Sorry.
33:28Yeah.
33:28Okay.
33:29Yeah.
33:29Selena, we are closing the door.
33:31I hope you are ready.
33:32I can't do this.
33:32I'm sorry.
33:33Come on.
33:34Please.
33:34And I'm out of the ditch.
33:44Police!
33:45Get on the ground!
33:46Policia!
33:48Put your hands on your head.
33:56Wow.
33:56That was unexpected.
33:58Yeah?
33:59You like that?
34:00Yeah, you're going to love this.
34:00Get your hands up on that van right now.
34:02What?
34:02Chase, you are under arrest for the murder of Jordan Sharp and Courtney Sutton.
34:05What?
34:06What?
34:06You think we're here just to amuse ourselves with the local drug trade?
34:10We're here to get justice for the two women that you murdered.
34:12Wait, hold on.
34:13Arms behind your back.
34:14I didn't kill anyone.
34:15The crew...
34:16The crew you what?
34:19I'm just a spotter for a rival gang.
34:21I tell them when Costa Sondra's moving a big package into L.A. and they steal it.
34:24I never leave this beach.
34:25He's lying.
34:26We have you on camera at the border coming to Mexico from their murders with blood on you.
34:35They should have just let us rob them.
34:38They fought back.
34:39Ripped my mask off.
34:40I didn't want to do it, but I didn't have a choice.
34:41They don't give me up.
34:46Don't look at me.
34:48Don't look at me.
34:48Can somebody get him out of here?
35:05I'm sorry.
35:06No need.
35:09You're and Elena have it handled.
35:12Yeah.
35:13We can just hang out here, wash the water, feel our feelings.
35:31Miles, hold on.
35:34Sorry.
35:35I wasn't in the mood to say goodbye.
35:37Good, because you'll only be gone for two weeks.
35:39What?
35:40In the light of day, I convinced Sergeant Bradford to adjust your punishment.
35:44Two weeks administrative leave followed by a six-month extension in the program.
35:48Sir, thank you.
35:50Don't get too excited.
35:51A six-month extension is severe.
35:53It'll be a significant black mark on your record.
35:55One that'll hamper your career choices moving forward in the department.
35:58I understand.
36:00I truly appreciate you going to bat for me.
36:02I wouldn't do it if I didn't think you were worth it, Miles.
36:05You have the skills.
36:07You know the job.
36:08What you lack is the confidence.
36:11Acting like a cowboy, that's just a cover.
36:13Deep down, you worry that you're not worthy.
36:15You think everyone else sees it the same way.
36:17The only one who can change that mindset is you.
36:21So, I bought you six months.
36:24Convince us you have the maturity needed.
36:27Yes, sir.
36:28I won't let you down.
36:30I know.
36:31See you in two weeks.
36:32Two weeks.
36:47Here we are.
36:49Home away from home.
36:50Naila, hey.
36:51Thank you for letting me do this with you.
36:53Are you kidding?
36:53You were the perfect girlfriend.
36:55Right.
36:55I got you.
36:56Aww.
36:59Hey, um.
37:01Everything's going to be all right.
37:03You're too good of a cop for I ate a cut.
37:06I hope you were right.
37:08But thank you for saying that.
37:10Yeah.
37:16That's what you see on this.
37:19Hi, baby.
37:22Hey.
37:22Come on.
37:31You okay?
37:33Yeah.
37:34Just back to reality.
37:37You know, whatever happens, they cannot take away who you are.
37:42Yes.
37:42They definitely can't take away what we've built.
37:46Okay?
37:47I love you, too.
37:50It's for me to say, you know.
37:53At one point, Jean-Claude Van Damme floats above the scene and delivers a six-minute monologue.
37:59And this is a good movie.
38:00It's a perfect movie.
38:01Okay, if you say so, then I'm in.
38:04Miles.
38:05Hey, you back.
38:06Yeah.
38:07You okay?
38:08Yeah.
38:09I'm, uh...
38:10I wasn't fired.
38:12That was on the table?
38:13Yeah.
38:15Okay.
38:15What happened?
38:19I, um...
38:20I already messed up, Selena.
38:25Oh.
38:25Oh, I'm sorry.
38:26You guys had plans.
38:27I'll get out of your way.
38:28No.
38:28No, no.
38:29Stay.
38:29You need cheering up.
38:30And have I got the movie for you?
38:32Movie night.
38:33I'll get the popcorn.
38:33Van Life Lucy sounds fun.
38:35You couldn't handle Van Life Lucy.
38:37Oh, look, I'm aware.
38:38She definitely wouldn't have dated a cop.
38:40Actually, that time in my life was mostly bad.
38:43On the bright side, that's what led me to join the Academy.
38:46I think I just wanted to be that person I didn't see around me.
38:50Somebody who cared.
38:52And then you got a dream officer who punished you for caring too much.
38:56Yeah.
38:57But, you know, I won in the end.
39:01Yeah.
39:22Hey, I just got home.
39:23I know.
39:24I've been watching the security feed for the last hour.
39:26I ordered you some things.
39:28Boy, did you.
39:29Flowers, cake, beer?
39:31Well, I couldn't send myself, so I ordered some of your other favorite things.
39:35Flowers are really my favorite thing.
39:37Well, it was very sweet.
39:39Oh, I love you.
39:41I love you too.
39:42Now, it's late over there.
39:44You should get to bed.
39:44I know.
39:45But first, we're going to eat cake together.
39:52Oh, baby.
39:54They were out of chocolate?
40:29Damn it.
