00:00It's just, um, well, Raj wrote a new song about me.
00:04I mean, he's so talented, and it's so beautiful, and it's all...
00:08A little overwhelming?
00:10Yeah.
00:10I wish somebody was writing love songs about me.
00:12The three of you are so happy, my love life is as cold as a frosted frog.
00:15You're young, Penn. There's plenty of time to find true happiness.
00:18Yeah, or learn to love being alone.
00:21All right, let's focus.
00:22Just got out of a meeting with the brass, and everyone is feeling the pinch.
00:26Recruitment numbers are down, retirement numbers are up.
00:28Bottom line, prepare to work more OT when the department manages staffing shortages,
00:32and we launch this new recruitment drive.
00:38Oh!
00:39What's going on?
00:40We won!
00:41We won!
00:43Won what?
00:44Lottery.
00:45Shangri-La has been played every week for 12 years.
00:51We're rich, bitch!
00:52Smitty, out!
00:56When did you say this recruitment truck was?
00:59I'm gonna win for you like I know you want me to do.
01:07You should call in sick. Hang out with me on my day off.
01:09That would be a bad look on my first day back.
01:12Oh, it would be fine. I mean, do you even have an official job yet?
01:15No, and I'm trying so hard to be zen about that.
01:18My former position was perfect.
01:20It's my own fault for taking a leave and going to D.C.
01:23Any idea what Kevin Fossett's gonna give you?
01:24No, we're talking first thing this morning.
01:26So what are you gonna do today?
01:28I'm gonna find out how many naps. There's too many naps.
01:31My plan is to do absolutely nothing.
01:33Oh, you were gonna fix the drain in the shower.
01:35Absolutely nothing except fix the drain in the shower.
01:38Okay.
01:40Oh, I know it's not my hair in there.
01:42What was that?
01:42I said, have a good day out there.
01:45Okay.
01:52I'm confused. I just voted for you.
01:54Why are you two going to work?
01:56Shouldn't you be doing the whole last-minute campaign again?
01:58Rita wanted him to, but we talked about it, and...
02:00I'm gonna lose. Badly.
02:02Rita gave us the latest poll numbers and then quit.
02:04So rather than waste another minute on a failed campaign
02:06that neither one of us enjoyed for a second,
02:08we are first day of the rest of our lives in it.
02:10Okay. Well, I can't complain about having my bestie back on the job.
02:14Hey, why don't we do dinner tonight? Just the four of us.
02:16You're not gonna watch the returns?
02:18No. There's no point.
02:20I love you, loser.
02:22I love you, too.
02:24You would have made an amazing DA.
02:27Thanks.
02:29Bye.
02:33Vivienne is gonna fire him the second she wins, isn't she?
02:37100%.
02:38Yeah.
02:39All right, I'll be right in.
02:41All right.
02:46Sup?
02:46Hey, um, how would you feel about having a small gathering at your house tonight?
02:50Oh.
02:51What's the occasion?
02:51Wesley tanking the DA race.
02:53Is that cause for celebration?
02:55No, but it is a time for friends to get together and support each other, no matter what.
02:59Also, it needs to be a surprise, or else we'll just try and talk me out of it.
03:02Got it. Yeah, sure. We can have it here.
03:03Great. I will start a group chat.
03:05All right, do you need me to...
03:06And you hung up.
03:09Here's what I love.
03:10The clear amount of industry and effort that you've put in.
03:14But?
03:16But it is a little, you know, narrowly focused.
03:20Join the LAPD.
03:21Be a badass hero.
03:22Protect the innocent.
03:23It's reflective of your lived experience, but it's not exactly reflective of the multitude that is the LAPD.
03:30Yeah.
03:31You're in charge of staffing this up.
03:33What? Hold on.
03:33No, that's... I was not trying to...
03:37Fine.
03:39Penn!
03:40Forrest.
03:41You're on a special assignment today.
03:42Penn's still a rookie.
03:43Exactly. Who better to give insight to a recruit than someone going through training?
03:47Guys, get started. The paperwork's inside.
03:50Hey, how's it going?
03:51Good. Did the brass send you down here to help me with a recruitment drive?
03:54In a consulting capacity.
03:55And only if you need me.
03:57So say you don't need me so I can go back to work.
03:59Ah!
04:00Whoa, are you okay?
04:01Yeah, I'm fine.
04:03Smitty!
04:04What?
04:05You quit.
04:06No.
04:08I took an unscheduled day off while I briefly submitted my retirement papers, but that's all done now.
04:14Why? What happened?
04:15Oh, they say I didn't kick in for my share of the ticket so I don't get my share of
04:18the payout.
04:19But I'm always late with my Tanner. They know I'm good for it.
04:22Ah!
04:22Oh, God.
04:23You are not okay.
04:24Smitty, make yourself useful and get to Lieutenant Jenna St. Stephen's.
04:26No, no. I can drive myself.
04:27No, you can't, but I can call an ambulance.
04:29For your wife? We can call your wife.
04:30No, no. Definitely not.
04:32Let's go, Smitty.
04:35I do not want to hear about your lottery situation.
04:37No problem.
04:38But I do have a teletherapy appointment starting in five, so you might overhear a bit.
04:47Good morning.
04:48Oh, good morning. Come on in.
04:50Thank you for being so understanding. I know I left you in the lurch when I went to D.C.
04:55All good.
04:56So, what do you have in store for me?
04:59Well, obviously your old job is gone, but we do have a new class of paramedic recruits, and I want
05:04you to train one.
05:05You're giving me a rookie?
05:06I am.
05:08Oakley!
05:10Yes, sir?
05:11This is Bailey Noon. You'll be training with her.
05:13Pleasure to meet you. I'm eager to get started.
05:15I've read everything there is to read on triage medicine, not just in the U.S., but as far afield
05:19as Mumbai.
05:19They published a fascinating study 12 days ago on emergency medicine and high-density populations.
05:24I got to send you a link.
05:25Do you read Hindi by any chance, or do you need the English translation?
05:29Good luck.
05:32Officer in agony here.
05:34Vet 11.
05:35Oh, hell no. I changed my mind. I'm fine. I'm fine.
05:39Oh, what is going on?
05:40He woke up with a stabbing pain in his lower back and it hurts when he pees.
05:44The Smitty!
05:45What?
05:45I could hear you cursing from outside the station bathroom.
05:48Oh, my God.
05:49Wait. You're that doctor. You're the one.
05:52Smitty!
05:53Get out of here now.
05:54Back to the station.
05:55Yes, sir. Good luck.
05:58I'm the doctor that what?
06:00Like you don't know.
06:01I really don't, but you know what? That can wait till we figure out what is going on with you.
06:05I want a different doctor.
06:07I am the only one who's free right now.
06:08Oh, wait.
06:10Are you sure?
06:11Yeah.
06:13Okay.
06:17Please tell me you haven't napped yet and that you haven't forgotten to fix the bathroom drain.
06:21No, of course not.
06:22I just called to see where you were assigned.
06:25I got a rookie.
06:26I knew you secretly wanted to be me.
06:29I've never trained anyone before.
06:31It's my first day back and this kid is kind of green.
06:35So, are you looking for some tips?
06:36Would you come meet us, give a first blush eval and maybe a few pointers?
06:42Yes, of course.
06:43But it's going to cost you.
06:45I should hope so.
06:46I got to go.
06:47All right.
06:48Looking forward to you hung up as well.
06:51A butt load of hemostatic gauze as requested.
06:56How can I help?
06:58Wash first.
06:59I like things a certain way.
07:01A lot of people put their first-hand bag on the gurney, but I like it in the outside compartment.
07:06That way I can grab the gurney while you grab the bag.
07:08Smart.
07:09You know, in early agrarian societies, they used to...
07:11Let's just focus on modern emergency medicine.
07:14Yeah, yeah, of course.
07:16But I find that understanding the history of things can give context to modern emergency medicine
07:20and elucidates the reasons why we do think it's the way we do today.
07:26All right, look, you can spot the losers a mile away.
07:28Don't waste any time with anyone you know won't pass the physical exam or the psych value.
07:32Got it.
07:32Fill out a questionnaire.
07:33Let them know that we follow up with a polygraph and a background check.
07:36That'll knock out at least a third of the duds.
07:38Okay, just so I can set expectations, I mean, what ratio of good candidates to losers should we expect?
07:45Does this background check include Florida?
07:48So I have been arrested before, but I wasn't convicted.
07:51Does that count?
07:52Defense.
07:53What was the charge?
07:54Be fouling the punch bowl at a company picnic.
07:57And felony murder.
08:00And I thought to myself, why not take this white-hot rage that I feel every second of every day
08:06and use it for something positive?
08:08Like curb-stomping violent felons.
08:11Okay, try MMA.
08:12Next.
08:15Good morning.
08:16Heard about the personnel shortage.
08:18And, uh, well, you guys need cops, and I went back in.
08:22So, how can we make this happen?
08:27Where did you go to school?
08:29Johns Hopkins for my master's in neuroscience.
08:31Well, actually, it was a double master's in that and philosophy.
08:35Okay.
08:35Well, when we...
08:36I had a PhD in molecular biology at UCLA.
08:38Then I spent a year at Oxford doing medical research.
08:40That was around the time I started Dan Keach.
08:42Maybe I should have some real-life experience.
08:45Well, you've come to the right place.
08:47Rescue 53, respond to 314-8812th Avenue.
08:51Manage of stress, unknown description, unknown injuries.
08:54And there's no better time to start.
08:55Control, this is Rescue 53.
08:57Show us responding.
09:15Control, this is Rescue 53 on scene with a distressed male at 12th Avenue.
09:22I thought we'd be doing this over coffee.
09:24What better way to evaluate him than seeing him in action?
09:26Seeing him in action.
09:27Exactly.
09:28Jace, this is my husband, John.
09:29He's off-duty LAPD.
09:31Nice to meet you.
09:31He looks way more than distressed.
09:33Let's flip him over, grab his head, and keep him stable.
09:35On three.
09:36One, two, three.
09:40He's alive, but unconscious.
09:42Probably from heavy blood loss.
09:44All right.
09:49Oh.
09:50Gun shovels.
09:51That explains the heavy blood loss.
09:58Please get off me!
09:59I'm pushing ketamine.
10:00We're trying to help you.
10:04Let's get him to St. Stephen's.
10:05All right.
10:05I'll mobilize LAPD.
10:07Radio's in the car.
10:13Get away from him.
10:15Fluffin?
10:16With the radio.
10:18Please don't hurt us.
10:19Get up, traitor!
10:20He can't answer you.
10:21I gave him a sedative.
10:22Then wake him back up.
10:23But that's not how medicine works.
10:25And who the hell are you, huh?
10:26I'm a doctor.
10:27I'm just doing a ride-along.
10:28No, can't stay here.
10:30Get Isaac in the car.
10:31You can't do that.
10:32That'll kill him.
10:32Then get him in the ambulance.
10:33You're gonna keep him alive till we get what we need.
10:36I'm on it.
10:40Whoa, whoa, whoa.
10:40Hey, back up.
10:41They got it.
10:42What do you want to do with this guy?
10:43I need him.
10:44I'm just a paramedic.
10:45He's a doctor.
10:47All right.
10:48Search him, then let's get gone.
10:49Meet us back at the office.
10:50Heads up.
10:56Let's go.
11:00Come on, come on, come on.
11:01Come on.
11:02Get in.
11:23You know, the history of battlefield medicine is truly fascinating.
11:26Until about 50 years ago, most major wounds were guaranteed fatal.
11:28Hey, do you want to die?
11:29No, not particularly.
11:30Then shut up and drive.
11:32What did this guy do to you?
11:34He stole our money.
11:35Isaac here was in charge of keeping it safe.
11:38We were supposed to meet, busy it up.
11:40Now he's stashed it somewhere.
11:41Trying to keep it all for himself, but that's not gonna happen.
11:44This money he stole, assuming he recently stole it from someone else.
11:47Brink's truck?
11:48A bank?
11:49What?
11:49You ask a lot of questions.
11:50Yeah.
11:51Shut up.
11:52The only answer I care about is, what exactly is your plan here?
11:55Three steps.
11:56Wake the traitor up.
11:57Get him to tell us where the money is.
11:59Kellen, this man is barely stable.
12:01What happens if the third step comes first?
12:03Then you're dying in this ambulance along with him.
12:09I knew Seth still had dreams of being a cop, but I did not think he would try again at
12:12me to worship.
12:13Yeah, well, he thinks he's catching us at a vulnerable moment.
12:15He's right.
12:16We need cops in the street now, not in six months after the applicants finish training.
12:19Technically, all he has to do is pass his physical, and he's back in uniform.
12:22Physical is not my concern.
12:24It is everything else.
12:25Listen, Seth has changed.
12:27I know it's hard to believe, but he's committed to a different path.
12:29You are biased, Penn, because you saved your life.
12:32Guilty as charged, but...
12:35He deserves a second chance.
12:49Okay.
12:51I'm ready.
12:52Whatever you guys need.
12:53The only way I'll even consider recommending you for reinstatement is if you pass a polygraph.
13:01Okay.
13:03Let's do it.
13:04Why are you refusing treatment?
13:06I'm not.
13:07I just saw a doctor.
13:09He told me I had kidney stones.
13:11Major ones.
13:12I'm sorry.
13:13I heard that pain is excruciating.
13:16Well, while you are being treated, I am your patient advocate.
13:20So, is there anything that you would like me to advocate for?
13:23Yes.
13:24I was severely mistreated by Dr. Ashton.
13:26I want him fired.
13:27Wade.
13:28Hey, you asked.
13:30I will check on you in a little bit.
13:36Luna.
13:39Can I talk to you?
13:43Did you and your husband separate because of me?
13:45What?
13:46No.
13:51You were something of a catalyst.
13:53Um, I'll admit to enjoying some harmless flirting, but if I ever gave you the impression that I wanted anything
14:00more...
14:01You absolutely gave me that impression.
14:04If I had suggested over dinner that we check into a hotel, you wouldn't have said no.
14:10Probably not.
14:11You tell yourself that it's harmless, but what it is, is selfish.
14:16It doesn't matter to you what the fallout could be, because you can just walk away.
14:21Thank God I came to my senses.
14:28Okay, we're going to start with some easy questions.
14:30Please restrict your answers to either a yes or a no.
14:33Is your name Seth William Ridley?
14:35Yes.
14:35Do you live at 3200 Blix Street?
14:38Yes.
14:39Are you 25 years old?
14:40Yes.
14:41Okay, now to establish a proper baseline, I'm going to ask you the same questions, but this time I want
14:45you to lie.
14:46You understand?
14:48All right.
14:49Is your name Seth William Ridley?
14:50No.
14:52Do you live at 3200 Blix Street?
14:54No.
14:56Okay, let's start.
14:57Did you ever tell me that your high school girlfriend died from a drug overdose?
15:02Yes.
15:03Was that a lie?
15:03Yes.
15:06Were you in love with Tamar Collins?
15:10Yeah, I wanted to marry him.
15:11A simple yes or no, Ridley.
15:13Sorry, yes.
15:17One year ago, did you have cancer?
15:20I did not, no.
15:22During that time, did you ever believe you were sick?
15:26No.
15:29On the day of the Kenyan Wildfire, did the National Weather Service call you about the fire spreading across Eagle
15:35Rock Road?
15:36Do we really...
15:36Answer the question.
15:37Did you receive a call from the Weather Service?
15:39Yes.
15:40Did you relay that information to the officers in the field?
15:44He means us.
15:45Did you try to tell us?
15:47No.
15:48On purpose?
15:49No.
15:51I got distracted, and it was too late to warn you.
15:54I knew that you were pinned down.
15:55That was my fault.
15:57I'm sorry, but I...
16:00I was too afraid to say anything.
16:02No, you lied.
16:03To cover up your mistake like you always do.
16:08Yes.
16:10No.
16:12Not anymore.
16:14Not anymore.
16:19He's crashing.
16:24His pulse is weak.
16:25He has a pneumothorax.
16:26The pressure is building, and it's just heavy.
16:32Hold him steady.
16:33I might puncture his chest.
16:40If you won't take us to a hospital, I need to be someplace not moving.
16:44You need to listen to us.
16:45Aren't you the doctor?
16:46Why is she doing everything?
16:47I'm a radiologist.
16:48We don't have time for resumes.
16:49We need to stop the ambulance.
16:52How long do we get to the office?
16:54We're landing now.
16:58Come on, come on.
17:01I'll get the boss.
17:04Let's get Isaac on the table.
17:05Clear it all.
17:15How's he doing?
17:16Not well.
17:17All the fluid I transfused into him just keeps coming right back out.
17:19He's running out of time.
17:21How long before your dispatch realizes you're missing?
17:22A few hours.
17:23Firefighters aren't as worried about random violence as cause.
17:26Perhaps it's time to revisit that policy.
17:29I'm dying to know why you brought these randos to the office and not my money.
17:32Isaac took the cash and ran.
17:34We only caught up to him after he hit it, and he started shooting.
17:36And you shot back?
17:37Before you got my money.
17:38Lyle's got a little excited.
17:39Hey, we all emptied a cliff.
17:41I told you to call...
17:42Shut up!
17:44You're making my head hurt.
17:45How bad's our boy?
17:46Critical.
17:47He needs a hospital.
17:48Not happening.
17:48Wake him up.
17:49Give him the Pulp Fiction shot.
17:51Right in the heart.
17:51That shot, epinephrine, would kill him.
17:58I'm only gonna say this once.
18:00You got ten minutes to wake him up so I can find my money, or I shoot this man next.
18:09Don't.
18:10No.
18:10I have to help him or he's gonna die.
18:12That's why I shot him.
18:13Get him talking.
18:14Now.
18:18Whoa, whoa, whoa.
18:19Let me triage my rookie or I cut your guy's carotid.
18:21And you'll never find your money.
18:24Check out born identity, Barbie.
18:26What about the Hippocratic Oath?
18:28That's for doctors, not paramedics.
18:31Okay, how about this?
18:32You let her resurrect Isaac, and you let me treat Jace.
18:36Is that okay?
18:39Fine.
18:39You go watch him.
18:40If he tries to be a hero, cap them both.
18:43Hey, I got you.
18:45You all right?
18:46You know, not really.
18:48Oh, God, that's a lot of blood.
18:49Yeah.
18:49I'm gonna need some hemostatic gauze on there.
18:51Right.
18:52Really, we're gonna need to work together, so slow breaths, okay?
18:54You're gonna apply some serious pressure on there?
18:56I might make some noise.
18:58Right.
18:58Ready?
19:01Okay.
19:02I'm gonna pass out now.
19:04Right.
19:06Hey, forget about the bleeding.
19:07Boss said wake him up.
19:08He's in hypovolemic shock.
19:10His blood pressure has cratered.
19:11He's about to die.
19:13If he dies, we are screwed, man.
19:14If he's bleeding out, give him more blood.
19:16I don't have any.
19:16So unless one of you is O-negative, the universal blood donor, we're out of luck.
19:20Yeah, you know, that's me.
19:21I needed a transfusion after I took one in the leg on the Long Beach job, because they
19:24told me I was O-negative.
19:26Perfect.
19:26Roll up your sleeve.
19:30Hi.
19:31Hi.
19:32I'm here to join the LAPD.
19:33What?
19:34Are you serious?
19:35Oh, God, no.
19:35I'd make a terrible cop.
19:37I came by to say hi and to see if you had had time to listen to the song.
19:42I did.
19:43I did.
19:44Oh, I'm gonna go grab a soda.
19:46You want anything?
19:47No, I'm good.
19:47I'll take a chocolate milk.
19:54You didn't like it.
19:55Are you kidding?
19:57It made me cry the first ten times I listened to it, but it's a lot of pressure.
20:02You know?
20:02Imagine how Mona Lisa felt when Da Vinci painted her.
20:06I mean, everyone constantly judging whether she was worthy of being memorialized like that.
20:11Wow, yeah.
20:11I never thought about it like that.
20:13Thank you for comparing me to Da Vinci.
20:15That's an ego boost for sure.
20:17Okay, I can change it up.
20:18I can add a line about your morning breath or how you kick me in your sleep.
20:21Okay, I do not.
20:22Do I?
20:23No.
20:23Hi.
20:24I'm here to sign up for a cop job.
20:26You are in the right place.
20:30What drew you to law enforcement?
20:31My boyfriend's a cop, and we don't get to spend much time together, so I thought this
20:35way we could see each other every day.
20:36Oh, well, that's amazing.
20:38You probably know him.
20:39Franklin Rose.
20:41Franklin Rose?
20:42Doesn't ring a bell, but you've been here longer than me, so.
20:45Well, I don't know him, but I mean, it's a big building.
20:47I'll show you a picture.
20:49Okay.
20:54Is this recent?
20:55Yeah.
20:55I took it of him last week before he went to work.
20:57Do you mind if I take a picture?
20:59Great.
20:59This will help me find him.
21:01You know, here's an application.
21:03Why don't you fill it out over there while I track him down?
21:06Okay.
21:06Thanks.
21:07Yeah.
21:10What's wrong?
21:12The badge is all wrong.
21:13Yeah, this thing is from the 1970s.
21:15Maybe he was just trying to impress his girlfriend.
21:17By committing a felony?
21:19You know, I have heard rumors about low-level dealers getting ripped off by cops who confiscate
21:23their drugs and let them off with a warning.
21:26Classic dope rip.
21:27All right, I'm going to need to talk to her.
21:28Not a problem.
21:29She's still outside.
21:30We'll go get her.
21:35Hey, did you get everything?
21:37Boy, did I.
21:38You really think he's going to appreciate us paying your demotion party for it?
21:41If not, we will get him drunk enough that he forgets it ever happened.
21:45All right, I got to go.
21:46I love you.
21:46Love you, too.
21:49Hey.
21:50Hey.
21:50This must be burning.
21:51Oh, yeah?
21:52Why?
21:54Oh, just...
21:56I was watching a news story about the election.
22:00What's up?
22:00Do you remember, like, a thousand years ago when this all started, we talked about doing
22:03an announcement speech to lay out my full progressive agenda?
22:06Yeah, before you chickened out.
22:08Well, if I'm going to concede this election, I want to go out swinging.
22:11I want everyone to know exactly what I believe.
22:13Can you give me an assist?
22:15My speechwriter quit.
22:16Sure.
22:16Yeah, I sure can.
22:17You know, how about you follow me into my office, stepping over here?
22:20Yeah.
22:20What kind of things are you thinking about changing?
22:22I really like what we did the first time around.
22:23I just didn't get to nail it.
22:25That was right.
22:27So, what's the verdict?
22:28Well, according to the polygraph, you told the truth about everything.
22:31Which was unexpected, and proves that you've made a real effort to change.
22:34Okay, great.
22:37No?
22:38It's...
22:38No?
22:39Look, the fact that you knowingly let us drive into danger, failed to do anything about
22:43it, and then lied to protect yourself is unforgivable to the department.
22:46Even though I sacrificed myself to save Nolan's life?
22:50What about that?
22:51Does my loss count for anything?
22:53Honestly, it's not enough.
22:55Even if you were to reapply to the FTO program, I would have to share those test results with
22:59internal affairs.
23:00Wait.
23:02So, look, this whole thing's a setup?
23:04I catch 22, I lie about the fire, and I fail the test.
23:08I tell the truth, and then you're going to use it against me.
23:10I thought you were giving me a fair shot here.
23:12Look, I'm sorry.
23:13I can see that you are genuinely trying to be a better person, but there is no coming
23:16back from what you did.
23:18Not here.
23:23Okay, I understand.
23:27Thank you for giving me the opportunity to tell the truth.
23:30I know that could not have been easy, given what I've put you through.
23:34Ah, man, I thought it would be enough for me to come in here and to say I'm sorry and
23:39to do the work and not be that guy anymore, but I guess I finally understand that there
23:47are simply things I just don't get to have anymore.
23:50There are doors that I close that I'm never going to reopen.
23:58Appreciate everything you taught me.
23:59I really do.
24:05Good luck, Ridley.
24:07You walk out of here knowing you finally took responsibility for your actions.
24:11And in my book, that counts for something.
24:23Bad news.
24:24There's no cop in the LAPD with your boyfriend's name.
24:26Check again.
24:27He's closed massive cases.
24:29The mayor gave him an award.
24:31I'm so sorry, but none of that is true.
24:34Well, if he's lying, why is his boss on your wall?
24:42You sure that's him?
24:43Yeah, Captain Jennings.
24:45Okay, well, that is problematic in a whole different way.
24:48Howard Jennings doesn't work here either.
24:50He retired eight years ago.
24:58Keep pumping.
24:59It needs to flow or it'll coagulate.
25:01Damn, bro.
25:02The human body is so cool.
25:05He's stabilizing.
25:06You might want to take a look at this.
25:07I think it's femoral hyperglobocyst exfoliating.
25:13As soon as they find out where the money is, they're going to kill us.
25:16We need a way out.
25:16Well, you're the forgotten man right now.
25:18So if you see a move to make do it, I'll jump in.
25:22Are you sleeping, beauty?
25:24Where am I?
25:25You're in hell, bitch.
25:27Where's my money?
25:28Screw you.
25:29Come on, Isaac.
25:30You can't take it with you.
25:31Okay, I'll tell you.
25:32Come here.
25:32I'll tell you.
25:33I hate it.
25:37Just give him a second.
25:38He's still coming out of sedation.
25:40Yeah, he's never going to tell us.
25:41He's just going to screw us and then die.
25:43I hope it hurts, man.
25:45I hope you're in so much pain.
25:47You're praying for the sweet mercy of death because it's coming.
25:50I don't feel good.
25:51Can you unhook me?
25:52Hey, lady, you might want to take that tourniquet.
25:54Whoa, whoa, whoa.
25:55No!
26:01You tell me or I'll take a foot.
26:04Hey, what's that mean?
26:05His heart sucks.
26:06Get him back, now!
26:08When you yell at us for shooting him, then you chop his arm off?
26:11What the hell's wrong with you?
26:12I'm getting my money.
26:13I spent six months playing in this job.
26:14Yeah, from the safety of this office,
26:15while we're the ones sticking our necks.
26:17I need to bring him back.
26:17You're a full time.
26:19Hey, stop arguing.
26:20Get over here and help me.
26:21With what?
26:21To fix your boss's mistake,
26:23I need you to pinch off this artery
26:24so I can get a shot of adrenaline.
26:26Do it!
26:31Hey!
26:33Down, honey.
26:34He's a cop!
26:51Did we win?
26:52Yes, we did.
26:53Because of you.
26:54911, what's the emergency?
26:55This is Officer John Nolan.
26:57Any three units in an ambulance,
26:58code three, multiple sailors sent.
27:00One critically wounded, the paramedic.
27:02Great job, honey.
27:04I appreciate you coming in on such short notice, Captain.
27:07Are you kidding me?
27:08The Margaret Hoffman case is the one I can never forget.
27:11If you've got a fresh lead,
27:13I'll move heaven and earth
27:14to help you bring her killer to justice.
27:16We've got old files laid out in here.
27:19Let's do it.
27:22Captain, I am Detective Nyla Harper.
27:23This is Detective Angela Lopez.
27:25This isn't about Margaret Hoffman.
27:27No, sir.
27:28I'll leave you to it.
27:33Think you can intimidate me with your little, uh, setup here?
27:36No, sir.
27:37You're a legendary tough guy
27:38who inspired loyalty in his men
27:40and fear in his enemies.
27:42Who the hell are you to mock me?
27:43Your worst nightmare.
27:46That's the first thing that springs to mind,
27:47but I don't know.
27:48It sounds a little cringy when I say it out loud, huh?
27:50We'll workshop it later.
27:52Right now, we're dying to know what happened to you.
27:54Why cross over to the dark side?
27:56I have no idea what you're talking about,
27:57and I'm leaving.
27:58I guess we'll just have to get our answers
27:59from Franklin Rose.
28:01Or the other two felons that you recruited,
28:03Marcus Kennedy and Jeremiah Gomez.
28:08And what crimes do you think these men have been doing?
28:11Well, robbing drug dealers
28:12so you can sell the products yourself.
28:15And before you protest that you've never heard of them,
28:17we have Jeremiah and Marcus in custody,
28:19and they dropped your name the second the cuffs came out.
28:22It's over, sir.
28:23We will be placing you under arrest.
28:26You have the right to remain silent.
28:27Anything you say can and will be used against you
28:30in a court of law.
28:30You have the right to an attorney.
28:32If you cannot afford an attorney,
28:34one will be provided for you.
28:36Do you understand?
28:42Yeah.
28:44Yeah, I understand.
28:45My entire career, I never once crossed the line.
28:49I was as straight and arrow as you could be.
28:53But my personal life was a bit more chaotic.
28:57Three wives, six kids?
28:59Seven.
28:59Oof, that expensive.
29:01Got ridiculous.
29:02Credit cards were all maxed out.
29:04I was behind on everything.
29:05You spend your entire career cleaning up messes.
29:08Desperate people made.
29:11Feeling superior.
29:13Turns out we all have a tipping point.
29:15I was just going to do the dope rips
29:17until I got caught up financially.
29:19I thought, who the hell am I hurting?
29:20Drug dealers?
29:21They'd shoot their mother for a Trans Am.
29:26I gave my life to the job.
29:29I did way more good for this city
29:32than the wrong I did now.
29:39Let's go.
29:40Come on.
29:51Come on.
29:53That's Franklin.
30:01Hi.
30:02Hey, baby.
30:02I hope it's okay.
30:03I wanted to surprise you.
30:04Boy, did you?
30:05They were having a recruitment drive,
30:07and I thought, wouldn't it be fun
30:08if you and me worked together?
30:10Would?
30:10Yeah, sure would.
30:11But listen, baby, you haven't actually gone inside
30:12and talked to anybody, have you?
30:13No.
30:14I waited like you asked me to.
30:15Great.
30:15Oh, that is so great.
30:17Listen, so I do have a couple of errands I have to find.
30:19Why don't you come with you?
30:21No.
30:21No.
30:22Hey, hey, hey.
30:23Show me your hands.
30:25Turn around and walk to the grass now.
30:26All right.
30:26Turn around.
30:27All right.
30:28Franklin rules, you're in the arrest of felony robbery.
30:31I got to just let me call my boss.
30:33No need, my man.
30:34Captain Jennings is already in holding.
30:37Let's move.
30:41Kitty?
30:42Are you serious?
30:45I've really got a golden gut, huh?
30:47I wouldn't know a decent guy if he came up to me and said...
30:51You weren't kidding when you said you had to go do a thing
30:53before we could drown my sorrows, huh?
30:55Mm-hmm.
30:57Hi.
30:58Hi.
30:59Kitty Adams.
31:00Seth Ridley, nice to meet you, Kitty.
31:02You, uh, new to town?
31:03You don't really have a big city vibe going on.
31:05In a good way.
31:07Uh, Kitty, I don't think you should.
31:08Why don't you blow off your friends
31:11and have a drink with me instead?
31:13I'll tell you my life story.
31:16Go for it, dude.
31:17Okay.
31:19What?
31:20Nothing.
31:21Maybe it's such a bad idea, it's actually good.
31:30Detectives from the Pacific Division
31:32have connected our kidnappers
31:33to a bank robbery in Santa Monica
31:35they made off with over $2 million.
31:37All that explains why they were so desperate to find it.
31:39And why Isaac was so determined not to tell them.
31:41He took that secret to the grave.
31:42Which means that money's still out there.
31:44Hmm.
31:45Treasure hunt later?
31:47Yeah, we just have to give it back.
31:49Right.
31:50Less fun.
31:50Less fun.
31:51Mm-hmm.
31:55The good news is that I'm alive.
31:57What's the bad news?
31:59Well, all things considered, there is none.
32:02The surgery was straightforward.
32:04The bullet missed all your major organs.
32:05Thank God.
32:07But this leaves us with the outstanding question.
32:09Is this a life lesson or a cautionary tale?
32:12Something tells me you already know the answer to that.
32:14Oh.
32:14Cautionary tale.
32:16All day.
32:16Definitely a thinker.
32:18And not a doer.
32:19Well, personally,
32:20I think you would have made an excellent paramedic.
32:23You have more brain power than this entire hospital
32:25and just the right amount of bravery.
32:28That means a lot,
32:29coming from the legend that is Bailey Noon.
32:31And their husband's pretty cool, too.
32:33I told you.
32:34I'll keep it.
32:36You know, this reminds me of a fun allegory from Plato.
32:39It's much more compelling than the original H&G.
32:41Sure, I think you should rest.
32:43I'm fine.
32:43I'll just catch a hooper.
32:45You will not.
32:47I will drive you to your hotel.
32:49Plus, you promised me
32:51that we would have a chance to really talk,
32:53so I am going to take you hostage until we do.
32:56That's my girl.
32:58For what it's worth,
33:00I slammed the door in Ashton's face today.
33:04Figuratively.
33:06Disappointing.
33:09Like I told you before,
33:10he was just a temptation.
33:12Nothing more.
33:14But it did shake me up a bit.
33:17You have to admit
33:18that our marriage has been pretty static
33:20the last few years.
33:21I would have said solid,
33:23but I understand what you mean.
33:26I also understand now
33:29that this was more than just a new job for you.
33:32It was the beginning of something.
33:35But my question is,
33:37does our marriage have a part in this new beginning?
33:40Yes.
33:41I just got my head turned around,
33:43and I made a mess of things.
33:46I want us to be healthy again.
33:48I know we can't just click our heels together
33:50and make that happen.
33:52We can.
33:54We'll be doing therapy.
33:56Yes.
33:57I think that's exactly where we should go.
34:02Look, how about if
34:05I take you home?
34:07You can sleep in the guest room
34:08if you want,
34:10but
34:12we can keep talking.
34:17Okay.
34:18I'd like that.
34:22You're not getting out of the way.
34:23Just be in your crotch.
34:24I'm just saying.
34:31Come here to celebrate the death of Shangri-La?
34:34Not at all.
34:34It's been a challenging day all around.
34:37Wanted to make sure you're doing okay.
34:39Well, thanks, kid.
34:40That's a lot more thoughtful
34:41than my traitorous lottery neighbors have been.
34:44They couldn't wait to get out of here.
34:46I mean, it looks like they bought you a few things
34:48on the way out, though.
34:49Oh, if they think they can talk me out of suing
34:51by buying me barbecues and ice makers,
34:54they are sadly mistaken.
34:56Does that mean that they're up for grabs?
34:57No, I'm not an idiot.
34:58I already sold them on eBay
34:59for a buttload.
35:00Okay.
35:01Since you're both here,
35:02I'm way past due
35:03with flushing the septic system
35:05on the RV,
35:06and it takes at least three hands.
35:07Oh, we got that.
35:09We got it.
35:10We got all the plans.
35:10That thing.
35:11The thing.
35:12Yeah, that thing.
35:12Yep.
35:13Yeah.
35:14Give yourself a good night, okay?
35:16Okay.
35:16Bye, Mr. Smitty.
35:18Hey, guys.
35:22Early returns are coming in.
35:24Good news?
35:24No.
35:25We're getting crushed.
35:26Hey.
35:27Okay.
35:28So my concession speech is prerecorded,
35:30ready to be released into the world
35:31just as soon as I officially lose.
35:33It's soon, babe.
35:34They're ready to call in.
35:35Listen, let us take you to dinner.
35:37We know this great Mexican spot up in the valley.
35:39Was it Nolan and Bailey's place?
35:42You told.
35:44He saw all the decorations.
35:46What, did you want me to lie?
35:48Yes.
35:48It's fine.
35:49I can think of no better place
35:50to celebrate my failures
35:51than with all of my friends.
35:53You made it to the finish line.
35:56You fell down on your face
35:57while everybody watched.
36:02You lost the race.
36:04You tried to win.
36:05And you can't even argue
36:07because you lost by your life.
36:11I did.
36:12You tried your best
36:13and you got wrecked
36:15and now you're looking
36:16all depressed.
36:17Oh, oh, oh.
36:21You made a new mistake.
36:24You feel ashamed.
36:25You don't have to lie away.
36:31If you think you're on your own
36:33just come home.
36:35We'll be waiting
36:36when you don't know
36:37what to do anymore.
36:39That's what we're here for.
36:41Yeah!
36:43Woo!
36:44That's what we're here for.
36:47Oh, oh, oh.
36:51Give me a piece to eat.
36:53This just feels weird.
36:57Oh, okay.
36:58Just, well, that's my thing.
36:59Yeah.
37:00There.
37:00Well, thank you.
37:03They're about to play your speech.
37:05You want to turn on the news?
37:07No.
37:07No, I think that's
37:08in our rearview mirror now.
37:09Well, Vivian was going to fire you anyways.
37:11Might as well speak your truth.
37:14It felt so good
37:15to cut through the noise
37:15and stop playing politics.
37:18It also made me realize
37:20how little I'd accomplished
37:21at the DA's office.
37:22I mean, I tried to change
37:23the system from within,
37:24but without being the boss,
37:25without having that power,
37:26it's a losing battle.
37:27So I think I'm going to go back
37:30to being a defense lawyer.
37:32I figured,
37:33but there are a lot of cops
37:34who are going to feel betrayed,
37:36like you're siding with the enemy.
37:37Well, there's only one cop
37:39whose opinion I care about.
37:42Oh.
37:42Yeah.
37:43I'm all for it.
37:44Our sex life was unreal
37:45and we're on opposite sides.
37:47Yes, it was.
37:48Oh.
37:49Okay.
37:50Hmm.
37:51Okay.
37:52Okay.
37:55Here's the thing.
37:56I wrote the song
37:56because I think you're incredible
37:57and because I got really excited
37:59when I realized that Selena
38:00rhymes with zebra and subpoena.
38:02That's it, though.
38:03Close enough for art.
38:04Look, I'm sorry
38:05that it made you feel self-conscious,
38:07but a song is not
38:08a statement of truth.
38:09It's an opinion.
38:10I think you're the most
38:11beautiful woman in the world.
38:12That does not objectively
38:13make you that.
38:14Okay, well, in case
38:15you haven't noticed,
38:15I am a painfully humble person.
38:18I mean, how can I not be?
38:19I'm surrounded by the most
38:20amazing people on the daily.
38:23Seriously,
38:25take a look at that group
38:26of badass overachievers.
38:28Every single one of them
38:29a unicorn in their own way.
38:31You belong right there with them.
38:33I won't be taking
38:35any arguments at this time.
38:40On the speech.
38:43Everyone, if you gather around,
38:45it is official.
38:46Sadly, Wesley will not
38:47be the new district attorney.
38:50That's okay.
38:52But, Wesley,
38:52clearly everybody in this room
38:54is fiercely proud of you
38:56for putting yourself out there
38:58and shining a light
38:59on what is wrong
39:00with our system
39:00and the ways in which
39:01it could be fixed
39:02if we were only
39:03collectively brave enough
39:04to try.
39:05So, we raise our glasses
39:07to you.
39:08To Wesley.
39:08Woo!
39:09Yay!
39:11I can't say that it was
39:12an enjoyable experience,
39:13but man, was it memorable.
39:15We've all gone through
39:16so much together this year.
39:17Sometimes it felt like
39:18it was more than we could handle,
39:19but it wasn't
39:20because we had each other.
39:24It's safe to say that
39:25I have no idea
39:26what the future has in store,
39:27but I do know one thing.
39:28We won't be going through it alone
39:30because we're a family.
39:32So, thank you.
39:33Hear, hear.
39:34Yay!
39:35Woo!
39:36Let's eat.
39:37Please.
39:38We don't know what to do anymore.
39:42That's what we're here for.
39:47That's what we're here for.
40:13That's what we're here for.
40:24That's what we're here for.
40:24Damn it.
40:25Damn it.
40:26Damn it.
40:26Damn it.
40:26Damn it.
40:26Damn it.
40:26Damn it.
40:26Damn it.
40:27Damn it.
40:27Damn it.
40:28Damn it.
40:29Damn it.
40:29Damn it.
40:30Damn it.
